The Walker Page #2

Synopsis: Carter Page III holds a special place in Washington society: the gay son and grandson of powerful men, he has connections, manners, and he's no threat, so he's an available escort when a woman's husband would rather not accompany her to a public event. When the secret lover of one of his women friends is murdered, she asks Carter to cover for her, and his acquiescence gets him into immediate trouble with the police and an ambitious prosecutor. Carter, with the help of his lover Emek, starts his own investigation. They're warned off by someone's hired muscle. Can Carter figure out what happened or will he lose more than he realizes he has? Human behavior is a mystery.

Embassador Sing still

hasn't closed on that town house.

Problem getting foreign affairs

minister to prove the allocation.

All that red tape.

He's not too smart as it is.

The wheel is turning

but the hamster's dead.

One thing I do hear though.

This is interesting.

The debt notes after the

energy scandal...

They are overextended.

I can list ten buyers

who jump at that property.

Abby.

You know what you are?

You are the

absolutely perfect date.

Keep it coming.

Carl?

I'm glad you could make it.

We must support the arts.

Where's Larry?

Public policy conference.

Lucky guy.

He'd rather be

anywhere than here.

She exaggerates.

We don't see

enough of each other.

Let's get together.

Why don't you call the

office and set something up?

Be my pleasure.

Your father was a great man.

He was so proud of you.

Yes, he was.

Hey.

Al.

F*** him.

He knows exactly

how my father felt about me.

He hates my guts.

Mine too.

Why people marry whom

they marry, I'll never understand.

Darling, don't

let me commence.

U.S. Attorney

Do you know Mungo Tenant?

Not really.

I was just being polite.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

There's someone I have to see.

I'll be right back.

Carter? Lynn?

How are you doing?

Peachy.

Peachy?

That's the word.

How are you?

I'm fine, Robbie.

How are things

in the private sector?

Any more investment tips?

Carl? You're not still sorry

about AltiMed?

Let's get together.

Maybe I can make it up to you.

I don't wanna be scolding twice.

How about next week?

Here we go.

I'll see you then.

Will you excuse me?

I have to get back to my seat.

Come la notte i furti

miei seconda.

What?

It's from tonight's performance.

The Marriage of Figaro.

How the night

favors my secret plans.

You're so smart.

Hey, Emek.

Hey, Carl.

I tried to call you.

Not very hard, you didn't.

Don't be like that.

How should I be?

So what is it?

What? Now?

Yes, now.

We've had this

discussion, didn't we?

Don't be such a kid.

Do you wanna talk?

I got a date.

With who?

Fun Barry.

Don't quote Oscar Wilde to me.

Anybody, but Wilde.

Say good night, Carl.

We talk tomorrow.

I'm very sorry

to keep you waiting.

Do you want another drink

or something?

That's okay.

He sees himself as

quietly a state.

But when she's done

with him, he'll eat red meat

and women.

What about you?

You talk about everyone else.

But you never talk about yourself.

I'm not that interesting.

I mean you do have a private life.

I let you in on a little secret.

I've invented my own sex.

See how they hushed?

Absolutely hushed

when I leaned forward?

All those big ears wondering

what old Carl was saying.

You haven't

always been old, Carl.
