Tomorrow 4:
00 P.M.

Good group.

Old habit.

Good weapon, the Smith & Wesson .38.

It's accurate, reliable... Little light.

Wanna try mine?

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

I thought this was gonna be

a friendly meeting on a neutral ground.

You killed a man.

Hire an attorney. Now spread 'em.

High and wide.

You're embarrassing me.

I assumed you were brighter than this.

I thought by now you'd be looking for an

angle. A way of handling me in the book,

making me sympathetic. You're

truly disappointing me, Dennis.

I'm talking about David Madlock.

Kappa International. Murder.

- Now take these cuffs off me!

- What are you selling? Mafia hit man?

- Nobody buys that sh*t.

- Isn't this sinking into your thick skull?

I helped make David Madlock and Kappa

International, and I did it by killing people!

The ones in the scrapbook. Get it?

Corporations don't have people killed.

Corporations deal in two things,

period. Assets and liabilities.

I removed the liabilities

and I provided some of the assets.

I was a corporate executive in charge

of just those things, believe me.

And you were in on it, Dennis.

At the very beginning. We both were.

I never knew how irritating

those could be.

You got three minutes

before they go back on, start talking.

It's all a question of capital.

How does an ambitious man get started?

Capital. Now, David Madlock is an

unusual man. He got unusual financing.

You wrote about that particular source

of financing in your first book, in fact.

- The depository case.

- That's right.

- You were in on that?

- That's right.

Yeah, well, two cops died that day.

And one of them was a nice old man

waiting for his pension.

That is twice you've embarrassed me.

Now try to control yourself, please.

I drove. That's all I did.

The three who were inside died. The one

you stabbed died of peritonitis in a week later, ok.

- That still leaves you.

- You want me, here I am,

but I got 12 people who'll swear

I was in Chicago that day, all day.

- All right, tell me about the money.

- 2 1972 million dollars, tax free.

Seed money.

It's the American way, Dennis.

Kappa International was formed

six months later - on venture capital.

Can't let this one get by you, Dennis.

So you started as a shooter for

this guy and became a defector.

Defector? No, no. He threw me out!
