Was a man named Matt Wilson.

And then he died.

And now, maybe he didn't die.

And here comes Mr. Wilson again.

You move fast. Is that brandy?

Yeah.

Make it another.

Well...

What did you find out?

That she met you once.

And that Green was afraid of you.

I know. Everybody who

works for me is afraid of me.

I don't know why.

Who are you?

My name is Matt Wilson.

I'll know who you

are in a couple of hours.

You can save me the trouble.

Take the trouble.

What was Green in your organization?

An investigator like you.

Why do you carry a gun?

It's more effective than a hammer.

Skoal.

Huh?

Oh, skoal, skoal.

Can you answer the big question?

If Green did walk away from the crash,

Why did he disappear?

Why did he come back

here and go into hiding?

Why do you think he's hiding here?

If he wanted to hide,

Why wouldn't he go to Istanbul?

The only city a man

can hide in is his own.

He knows what clothes to wear,

What friends to contact.

He doesn't speak with a foreign accent.

He doesn't stand out.

Try to do that in Istanbul,

And they'll pick you up in 20 minutes.

I never thought of it that way.

Well, Green would. He worked for me.

I don't know what your angle is,

But I have a job to do,

And until it's finished,

I don't want you stumbling in my way.

Sounds like an order.

I know it goes against your grain,

But it's practical. Do it.

Do I have a choice?

Yes, but don't take it.

Skoal.

Hmm? Skoal.

Now, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go back to my hotel.

And wait for Walter Green to call me.

Call you?

I think he'll want to find me.

Before Wilson finds him.

And, um, how would Walter find you?

If he calls and asks,

Tell him I'm at the Hotel Storkin.

And whom should he ask for?

Room 236.

What makes you so sure.

That Walter would

even have heard of you?

I'm counting on him

being just that smart.

Because he worked for Wilson.

You're not only cute, you're clever.

Keep it.

I like your tie.

Do you want a taxi, sir?

No. Do you know a nice small hotel.

Where I can get a room tonight?

Hmm.

Yes. At the Hotel Conti.

Just go to the end of the street.

Turn right past the fountain.

Turn left, and right

in the middle of the block.

You'll find the hotel.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Sorry, sir.

May I have my key, please?

What's your room number?

Uh, 38.

Oh, and wake me at 8:00,

And coffee at 8:
15.

Yes, sir, 38 at 8:00,

and coffee at 8:
15.

Can I help you?

The man that just came in. I, uh...

The one in 38?

Yes. I want to know his name.

And where he came from.

I'd have to look on

the registration card.

I haven't seen the

gentlemen before, sir.

I don't know his name.

You know, they come and go so quickly,
