And I only work at night,

So I don't know everyone.

I don't understand.

Nobody's registered in room 38.

The room is supposed to be empty.

It's only the key to room 38.

Stand up.

Now put your gun in your pants pocket.

Take your hand out.

I don't think you'll shoot.

No, I won't kill you,

But your leg will never be the same.

Now walk over to your car.

And drive over here and get your friend.

You know, I'll get you for this.

Yeah.

No excuses, Mr. Wilson.

I lost him.

I didn't think you'd hold on to him.

Cover the girl. She'll

lead us back to him.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

Yes.

Oh, Dominique.

That's all right. I wasn't sleeping.

You were right.

Walter Green did call.

He'd like to see you

at the railroad station,

Track 3, as soon as you can be there.

At the railroad station.

I'll be there in 20 minutes.

Ok. I'll see you there.

Oh, Dominique, wait a minute.

Did you say something?

Yes. They'll have somebody watching you.

Why would they want to...

Oh, I know what you mean.

Because I was seen speaking to you.

They'll have me covered.

Tailed wherever I go.

Tailed?

Don't worry. I'll shake 'em.

You will? How?

I'll go in and out of different places.

At 1:
00 in the morning?

I'll go around corners,

things like that.

They won't want me to know.

That they're tailing me,

and that means I'll be...

Suppose they don't care.

If you know they're tailing you?

What did you say?

Suppose they don't care if you know?

That's not the way it's done.

Yeah.

Wait a minute. Let me think.

I don't have a fire escape.

There must be some

boat harbors on the lake.

Well, there's a little dock.

Just 50 steps from

the front of my house.

Fine. Be there in 45 minutes.

I can be there sooner.

I don't want you there sooner.

Yeah, well, if I'm

there, I can help you.

Dominique, I can meet Green alone.

You really don't need to be there.

I'll be there. 45 minutes.

Dominique.

Don't look down.

Why are you wearing those dark glasses?

I don't know.

You told me I was being followed.

I thought if I wore dark...

Yes, all right.

Just turn around.

Now start walking

slowly toward the steps.

When you hear me start the engine,

Run down the steps and jump on board.

Not that boat, this one.

They're both the same.

Take those damn glasses

off and get in here.

Yes? What happened?

Well, the girl did meet

him like you said, Mr. Wilson.

I followed her, and...

I know. He lost you again.

It was a freak. He was on a...

Don't worry about it.

You'll never hold on to

him if he wants to lose you.

Stay on the line.

What calls did Cutting get tonight?

Just one. To set up a meeting.

When?

All right.

How far are you
