The Walker Page #6

You've always intrigued me.

You think you're a

black sheep.

You're not

a black sheep at all.

Do you remember the

question you asked me about

Robbie and Jack Delorean?

Yeah. I apologize.

I was out of line.

Your friend, Robbie,

was up to something.

Always follow the money.

Sometimes it's oil.

Sometimes it's pharmaceuticals.

I think it's time you and Lynn

had a talk about that.

I tried to reach her.

She left town.

I've tried her mother's to no avail.

Do you have

a pencil and paper?

A pen? Even better.

You can be so naive.

Now you

can meet her here.

Don't be so goddamn polite.

Now...

What were we talking about?

Rip Torn.

No.

We were talking

about your wanting

to be a black sheep.

In the end...

All you have is your breeding.

It's all that separates

them from us.

Breeding?

My great grandfather got

rich of slavery.

And when the Yankees took

that away, my grandfather made

his money raising tobacco.

I don't have any breeding.

If your great grandfather

were alive today...

He'd fit right in.

Who is it?

FedEx package.

I'm not expecting any FedEx.

Lynn, it's Carl. Open up.

FedEx?

That was lame.

Jesus.

What's going on?

How did you find me?

I did some checking.

Oh, your friend

from the newspaper.

Maybe I should move.

Who are you afraid of?

May I sit?

Forgive me.

Would you like some water?

- Please.

I left Larry.

Does he know where

you are?

No.

Palm Beach.

My mother has

always been helpful.

Out with it.

I've been getting a lot of

advice lately.

Let me give you some advice.

Tell me what the f*** is going on.

Are you threatening me?

Yes.

Now.

What was the deal

with Robbie?

You don't know what it's like.

Think you do?

You act as if it's awesome.

I hate it.

I'm not special.

I just want what other women

want. Is that so terrible?

A husband. A marriage.

A family. To be loved.

There is no such thing

in this environment.

They talk about it.

Oh, they talk. But there isn't.

They don't need women.

They f*** each other.

And Robbie was different.

I was gonna leave Larry.

I had made up my mind.

Robbie was making

all the arrangements and...

Abby said he was broke.

That was not true.

He had money coming in.

Now let's go real slow.

He was gonna testify

before Larry's committee on AltiMed.

But he backed out.

Why?

He said why give away

something valuable for free.

I said he was crazy,

he was playing with fire, but...

I was crazy, too.

We both were.

I'd go back to

when you found him.

What did you see when

you came into the apartment?

What did Robbie know?

He was expecting someone

to get the payment?

What did he have

that was so valuable?

A computer disk?

What was Robbie thinking?

What was he doing with

Jack Delorean?

He was dead when I came in.

The crouch came after

the first stabbing.

It was an afterthought.

He took something.

What do you mean?

The killer took something off Robbie.

It was a photo of him and me.

It wasn't explicit. But it was...

Affectionate.

That's sad, isn't it?

That's how I got pulled into this.

Oh, Robbie.

Robbie, you fool.

I loved him.

What am I gonna do?

Hallo?

- Abby.

Carl, is that you?

I missed you

at the Hargrave today.

It was like Christmas

without a tree.

There was something

I had to do.

Robbie's murder...

I was just going over it

in my head and I think I know

what he was up to.

He was blackmailing the

vice-president.

That's crazy.

Think about it.

Robbie being tight for money.

His involvement with the

V.P. in AltiMed. His resentment.

On the phone he said

something about making a sales.

He said things were finally

coming around his way.

He couldn't be that stupid.

I think he was.

Carter?

What?

Elvis is dead.

Yeah.

It is a bit farfetched.

Did the fabric arrive yet?

Yesterday.

How does it look?

We'll get together.

I'll call you next week.

Choose the day.

Good night then.

I gotta run.

Good night, Sunflower.

Well, Lancelot.

Let's see what comes of that.

What's it called?

The kiss.

Appropriate.

I'm going back to my place

to get some clothes. I'll be back.

I should come along?

I thought you had that

movie opening?

Premiere.

And it's a good story.

You know the...

The daughter of a liberal black

congressman falling in love with

the son of a right-wing senator.

And they run off and

their parents join forces

to find them.

It all ends up in Disney World

where, after much hilarity, ...

They all understand

the meaning of tolerance.

That sounds terrific.

I'll see you later.

- Take care.

Hey.

Hey.

Miss Page.

I just want to talk.

Hey. It was only a warning.

Hey, motherf***er.

Come on.

Let's go.

Do you have a phone?

- Yeah.

Call 911.

Come on. Let's go.

Wait.

There's been an accident.

He's badly injured.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Sicked it is.

Come on.

Is that his ID?

It took some

humongous testes.

Kononsberg, I mean.

He blackmailed the

vice-president.

Desperate men

do desperate things.

Stupid men do stupid things.

Yeah. That's it. Right there.

Over here?

- Turn to left. Here.

What are

you doing here, Carl?

Abigail, my Sunflower.

I need to see Jack.

Is he expecting you?

No.

What's going on?

Is Jack in his office?

He does not like

to be disturbed, Carter.

You know that.

Well, I'm gonna

speak with him, Abby.

This is my friend Emek.

He needs something to drink.

Coffee? Diet Coke?

- Regular, thank you.

Abby will take you in the kitchen

and get you a Coke.

While you're in there

make sure she doesn't make

any phone calls.

Doesn't make

any phone calls?

I am gonna talk to him now.

This won't take long.

Jack does not like

to be disturbed, Carter.

Don't worry about it.

He will be fine, just take a minute.

Come on.

What the hell is it now?

I'll call you right back.

I need to talk to you.

Call and make an appointment.

Now will you please get

out of my house?

His name's Edgar Comensky.

Ex-Marine Corps.

Ex-FBI.

His last known employment was

head of AltiMed security.

He also worked for you.

No need to track him down.

This photo was taken about

a minute later.

It's criminal act to

leave the scenes of a crime.

Call the cops.

You what I think?

I think Comensky was

two-timing you.

Worked for you.

Found out about Lynn and Robbie.

Sold it to Mungo.

Pretty good guess.

Sit.

What do you want?

You wanna get Tenant

off your back?

That would be good.

That man is an a**hole.

Where did he

get that name 'Mungo'?

I believe it's British.

I'll do what I can.

Lynn Lockner's as well.

Have you talked

to her husband, Larry?

Did he tell you that..?

'This is a war.'

He likes to talk like that.

Well, this little war is over.

He lost.

You lost.

I wasn't a combatant.

Sometimes we don't

have a choice.

Listen, Carl. It's not personal.

I like you.

I liked your father.

But you're on the

wrong side of history.

People don't want your

radical ideas, your agenda,

your lifestyle.

People want a story.

A good American story.
