Three Days Of The Condor Page #3

---

Have it for me when I call you.

What about Wicks?

Do you want the firm to question him?

They will, you know.

We don't want that.

Cost you nothing.

I was careless with Condor.

Wicks will be done for nothing.

What time is it?

- It's news time.

Lonely pictures.

So?

You're funny.

You take pictures of empty streets

and trees without leaves...

It's winter.

Not quite winter...

They look like...

...November.

Not autumn, not winter, in-between.

I like them.

Thanks.

The shootings behind

the Hotel Ansonia remain a mystery.

The victims' identities

have not been revealed...

Victims?

Can you say anything about a motive?

- Not at present.

Have you identified the victims?

- Insurance company employees. - What?

Did the victims know their assailants?

- Absolutely not.

One man dead, one seriously wounded

in an alley in Manhattan.

And the man with the gun

is still at large. - Sam!

Jesus Christ, victims...

What is he saying?

What happened in that alley?

I didn't shoot him.

You shot somebody. - But not Sam!

Nobody in that alley

said anything about the CIA.

But they were there.

You're telling me... - They had to

have been to change that story.

What did Higgins say?

He said he wouldn't be there.

The section chief was coming in...

He'd have to reach Sam.

Sam would have to call Mae.

I need your car. - Grand theft! You

don't want trouble with the police.

This guy in Vermont. What'll he do

if you don't show up?

He probably call soon.

Will he show up here?

- The gun gives you the right

to rough me up... - Rough you up?

- Yes, what are you doing in my house?

Have I raped you?

- The night is young.

You don't believe anything I've said.

I believe

you're in trouble. In danger.

But I don't know what kind and I'm

not sure how much of it is made up.

It doesn't matter.

Wait a minute.

I'm trying to understand...

What are you doing? Let me go!

You bully!

Don't tie me up, please!

This is...

...unfair!

- I know.

You're early.

Come on in.

Is Janice working late?

So is Sam.

Pour one for me, too, will you?

It's their own fault

if we're zonked when they get here.

We'll give 'em an hour and if they're

not here, it's just you and me,

just like old times...

What is it?

What is it, Joey?

What's wrong?

How do you know Sam's working late?

What do you think he's doing?

- Did he call? - 2 or 2:30.

What did he say exactly?

He had the Center call.

Who? - I didnt't recognize the voice.

It wasn't the usual lady.

Third damn time tonight.

It's some creepy burglar.

I want you to get out of here.

- I can't, Joey, I'm cooking!

Go to Bill and Eileen's.

Stay there till I call you.

Don't argue! Move!

Go upstairs and stay there.

Do what I'm telling you!

Stay there.

I'll call you.

- Joey, you're scaring me!

Yours?

No.

Fifth floor, ladies' underwear.

Kids...

Probably the same everywhere.

That's the second floor.

I do it all the time.

After you.

- Go ahead.

Anybody here good with a coat hanger?

I locked my keys in my car.

I'll give you some money.

You can't tell me you never busted

into a car before. 5 bucks.

I don't have much time.

Okay? Come on.

Alright, 5 bucks.

I want you to answer the phone.

I'm not answering any phone!

Answer it!

Tell him what a great

son of a b*tch you are!

I want you to be casual and nice.

Where the hell are you?

Ben?

- Who do you think it is?

You're supposed to be up here by now.

- I know...

I was held up.

That's no excuse. Come on.

Does this trip matter to you?

It matters.

- Yeah, sure...

No, it does! - This has happened over

and over. Last minute some excuse.

No, this is different.

- What's up?

The car...

...broke down.

- What broke down?

The generator went.

- That's gonna take for ever.

Maybe not.

I tried to call you before, but...

The generator...

...it's going to take too long.

Look, forget about the car.

Take the bus first thing tomorrow.

I'll try.

Try...?

What's going on? Are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm fine.

- You don't sound so fine.

I wish you would understand.

I do. I do. It's just that

I'm disappointed, that's all.

I really wanted

to be with you up here.

I know.

We'll have time.

- Yeah.

Get the very first bus

out in the morning, okay?

Alright.

Good night, sweetheart.

- Good night.

Listen, I'll be going.

In the morning.

Where?

Was it alright?

Alright?

Outside. Was it safe?

I'm not sure.

I wish I knew more.

About you.

Yesterday...

Today...

I don't remember yesterday.

Today it rained.

Why did you tie me up like that?

You thought I'd call the police.

I wouldn't have.

Why?

Sometimes...

...I take a picture

that isn't like me,

but I took it, so it is like me.

I put those pictures away.

I'd like to see those pictures.

We don't know each other that well.

Do you know anybody that well?

I don't think

I want to know you very well.

I don't think

you're going to live much longer.

Well, I may surprise you.

You're not telling the truth.

What? - You want somebody,

who's not gonna live much longer.

At least somebody who'd be on his way.

You take pictures.

Beautiful pictures...

...of empty streets and trees

with no leaves in November.

Why haven't you asked me

to untie your hands?

How much do you want?

I just want to stop it.

For a few hours,

for the rest of the night.

Then I'll go.

What was his name?

What did Higgins say?

Your Department Head'll bring you in.

- I've never met him.

Anything in the early pouch?

HQ at Langley says there's no other

source to support your theory.

Wicks!

You didn't sleep well.

- You didn't?

No, you didn't.

You were up early.

I had some thoughts.

I've got a plan.

I don't know

if it'll work or not, but...

...I'll need your help.

- Have I ever denied you anything?

When things quiet down,

you really are

a very sweet man to be with.

You had bad dreams.

You talked in your sleep.

What did I say?

- Who's Janice?

Was she a volunteer,

or a draftee like me?

She was...

...a friend.

She's dead.

Do I have permission to shower?

- You don't have to help.

I'll help. You can always depend on

the spy f***er.

I'm sorry... - No.

- No, I didn't mean...

I didn't mean to say that.

I'm really sorry.

I'd like to help you.

- Yes.

A.I.D. In I.C.U. 1098.

Insured package for Katherine Hale.

Leave it on the stoop.

Somebody's got to sign for it.

She's not here.

Okay, you can sign.

Her name on top, yours on the bottom.

Wonderful. - Government pens.

I don't have another pen.

I'll get one.

Now listen:
You're okay.

You're okay!

Can you get dressed?

You're okay! Get dressed, hurry.

Stella's Boutique.

Extension 1891, please.

- Pardon me?

Is this 6623799?

- Yes, it is.

There's no extension 1891? - We're

lucky if we have any phone service!

Operator.

What's the area code for Washington,

D.C.? - 202.

CIA, Langley?

- 6311.

Extension 1891.

Let me speak to Mr. Wicks.

He's not here just now.

May I ask who's calling?

How do you feel? Okay?
