couldn't get in,

but I did see something

that interested me.

Yeah? What did you see?

I saw you.

What do you mean, me?

The man I'm looking for

is Tom Soberin.

The doorman said that

you were also asking for him.

Tom hasn't been well.

He's been taking medication

for depression.

He's been paranoid,

delusional.

He says that people

are watching him.

Even trying to kill him.

He may be right.

Please tell me where he is.

Might not make any sense

to you, but if I speak

to him personally...

I don't mind getting paid

to look for somebody

I'm already looking for.

I'm not paying you

to look for him.

I'm paying you to find him.

You say Soberin's up here

from Pittsburgh?

Distinguished Professor

of Engineering

at Carnegie Mellon University.

He must be distinguished

in all the right places.

My number's on the back.

And yes, I do have

very unconventional taste.

[door closes]

?

[people chattering]

Who are you?

Don't look at me!

Keep your eyes out.

You made a date

with my friend last night.

Oh.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

-God damn it!

It's supposed to be a hit,

and you stick her

in the middle of it?

No, no. What's happening here

you can't begin to comprehend.

I'm three seconds,

from throwing you

over the rail.

I'm trying to listen too.

Christ!

She said you lost it.

-Who?

-Nicole Meeker.

-You saw her?

-She's looking for you.

Thinks you're worth

the trouble. I didn't mention

the carnival parking lot.

-I have to tell her.

-If you want to confess

your sins, find a priest.

Who fired the gun?

Tell Nikki

I found the Tin Man.

What the hell

are you talking about?

You wanna know

who fired the shots?

Have Nikki meet me.

Where and when?

Today,

out on Three Sisters.

You see her,

then you see me.

Got it?

I'll be waiting.

Don't let yourself

be followed again.

I'm so sorry about...

About Kat, I...

Yeah. He's waiting there now.

I gotta go.

[dramatic music playing]

?

Hey!

Damn it!

[car starting]

[man]

Get the hell

out of here.

[Charlie]

You got the road

jammed up.

[man] You're a long way

from Polonia.

[Charlie] Working a

missing person case.

You couldn't find a hole

in a donut.

Can I get one of those?

No.

Male or female?

The jumper is male.

Got a light?

Fifth of the season.

The place is a magnet.

Honeymoons and suicides.

What's the difference?

Ha, you should take that

routine to Vegas.

I'll escort you

to the airport.

I told you, I got a job

and I already

found the guy.

Some nut out of Pittsburgh

name of Soberin.

Which one of these maroons

put you up to it?

-I don't get it.

-Soberin?

You can help tuck him in.

[engine starts]

[siren wails]

?

She's dead, isn't she?
