I don't know you either.

- We'll meet.

He'll carry a Wall Street Journal.

- There were two guys at my house.

What were you doing there?

- I was homesick. Who were they?

They were ours.

- What were they doing in my house?

I'm not going in any alley

and f*** the Wall Street Journal!

Turner, it's been a long, bad day.

You've been under... - Damn right!

Alright. We'll bring a familiar face.

Somebody you know.

Who's left? - You've got a friend in

statistics named Sam Barber.

You guys are something...

- Will he do?

Yes. Sam will do.

Alright, Turner. Stay well

for 60 minutes and you're home.

Can I ask a question?

- Sure.

What is happening?

- I'll talk to you in 60 minutes.

You've got 55.

This is ridiculous.

- It's standard procedure.

To pick up a friend?

- And you, Mr. Wicks? - No, thanks.

Side arm?

- Have you got a.45?

You bet.

- Hey, let me help you with that.

How long have you known Condor?

- Joey...

Before he was a bird even.

We went to CCNY. My wife Mae, too.

Was she ever Condor's girl?

- Here you go, Mr. Wicks.

Tell me what happened today.

- When?

This morning. About those murders.

What murders?

Here he is.

Hey, Sam. Where's that other...

What are you doing?

It's him, it's him!

Katherine Hale. H-A-L-E.

...172-208-875. Amount $51,86

Where's there enough snow this early?

- In Vermont.

What's open, Sugar Bush?

- Not downhill.

This is cross-country.

- Don't like the lift lines?

Kathy!

Kathy, where have you been?

Let me give you a hand.

Wait, I don't know...

- Be quiet.

Get in the car.

Don't make a sound, don't be dumb.

Please don't hurt me. - Where

do you live? - Brooklyn Heights.

Alone?

- I live with a friend...

You live alone. Come on, let's go.

Leave the stuff.

Hi, Kath.

You should have said hello.

Where is it?

- Here.

"Condor shot us both."

That was the only statement he could

make before they operated on him.

And the other man, Barber? Is he dead?

- Before he hit the ground.

A remarkable shot.

A half-inch above his flak jacket.

Was Condor qualified with a handgun?

"Two years military service,

Signal Corps,

Telephone lineman, switchboard

maintenance, 6 months overseas,

Separated 9/61, worked at

communication research college."

The question was:

Is he qualified with a handgun?

No, sir. M-1 rifle and carbine.

Evidently it was sheer luck.

Or else...

Or else what? - Condor isn't the man

his file says he is.

Where did he learn the basic moves?

- He reads.

What the hell does that mean?

- He reads everything.

I don't understand...

- Yes... very good.

Has Operations got anything?

- Absolutely nothing. - Extraordinary.

It was very well executed.
