A Stranger Is Watching Page #4

---

...outside Grand Central Parkway

gas station, exit 22.

I said I'd kill this kid,

and I will if you try to job me.

Don't be stupid.

Oh, baby.

- Thank you, Mr. Perry.

- Steve, if there's anything...

Get this to the lab

and have it checked out.

Please.

Do you recognize that voice at all?

Have any idea why he mentioned

that odd sum of money?

I mean, $ 182,000.

That's exactly the amount that Julie

inherited from her mother's estate.

He could've had access to probate.

It was in the papers.

Go ahead. Pick it up.

- Hello.

- This is William Kurner.

Sorry to bother you, Mr. Peterson, but it's

imperative we interview your daughter...

...concerning the testimony

that she gave in court.

Mr. Kurner, I'm sorry.

That won't be possible.

Peterson, I understand your reluctance

to have your child undergo further trauma...

...but we're talking about a man's life.

I'll get a court order if I have to.

I've got everything...

Mr. Kurner, you can get

your court order if you want to...

...but you can't see my daughter.

- Now, listen. Wait. Peterson...

F***ing lawyers.

Mr. Peterson...

...we just wanted to say

how sorry we are.

I know.

We'll be in our room

if you need anything.

Hold it up more.

Oh, God.

- Stand back. I don't wanna hurt you.

- What are you doing?

I'm gonna try to pry... Get back here.

I'm gonna try to pry it open.

Dirty scum! Dirty scum!

Oh, my God!

- What did I tell you people?

- We didn't do anything!

- Stop. No!

- Stop it! Stop it!

Lying slut.

You understand that, Miss Sharon Martin?

I'm talking to you, you b*tch.

You never had a real man before.

A real man doesn't put up with that sh*t.

Goddamn you.

Damn you.

How much did you ask for?

- How much did you ask for?

- Money?

Yeah.

None of your business.

I'd like to know what we're worth.

When will you get the money,

do you think?

- You know what this is?

- Your science project?

It's a bomb.

You're not serious.

Hey.

Hey, don't leave us in here

with that goddamn thing!

Relax.

Stay away from the door,

and you'll be okay.

I'll be back.

It's a button.

- Julie, come here.

- What?

Help me get this stuff

off the table. Come on.

Can we move it?

It's an old dumbwaiter.

- A what?

- A dumbwaiter.

It probably goes upstairs

to a restaurant.

They must have sent their

dishes here to be cleaned.

God, I wonder if it works.

Here, stand back. Let me check it out.

Okay.

Now, I'm gonna put you in

and try and see if I can pull you up.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Oh, good girl.

Because I can't do it alone.

We'll work together.

We'll pull the rope together. Okay?

In you go.

Put your back against this wall,

and keep your knees up.
