Bare Witness Page #4

Synopsis: Professional killer Gav Reed commits a grave mistake allowing himself to be videotaped (as she always does, for a documentary she hopes to sell to Hollywood about the real nocturnal 'eldest business' there) by Julie Spencer, one of Max 'Slim' Reuter's hookers and porn actresses, whom he had sex with before - and while making a most incriminating call about his murder attempt at a high society campaign party for mayor Garland's electoral challenger Mary Washington, where the bullet is however caught by councilor Frank Constantine, who also survives. Gav's client, businessman Ian Hunter, who was videotaped earlier, has his girl Marina shoot Gav and then Julie, later Slim who. Rough but effective police detective Killian investigates, helped by Julie's friend Carly Marsh, and unravels even more sordid connections.

-Julie's video collection.

-What kind of video collection?

She made tapes when she worked.

She was gonna make a documentary.

Did she keep any tapes anywhere else?

Or have a second VCR?

No, that's the only one.

Were there any of her

clients' phone numbers around?

Check her address book, but she

didn't call for work. Slim called her.

Slim. This guy's name keeps coming up.

There might be....

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

As long as my knees don't give out.

You got someplace to stay tonight?

Yeah, here. This is my home.

I don't think

that's a very smart idea.

I'll be all right.

I work in a bar, remember?

I'll be fine.

Okay, but I think you'll need

some protection.

You gonna give me your piece?

You wish.

Spray this right in their face, okay?

Within seconds they'll be

clawing their eyes out.

How romantic.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I....

I should probably get going.

Okay.

Detective?

Julie was my best friend.

Find these guys.

I'll try my best.

You should get some sleep.

-I'll check up on you tomorrow, okay?

-Okay.

-Good night.

-Good night.

-Any luck?

-Last one.

Now, she knows how to f***.

Where's the tape, Marina?

You're getting awfully paranoid.

It's hard not to be. Especially when

you delight in my mistakes.

In case you've forgotten,

if you go down, I go down.

Then you're not conniving,

you're careless.

At least I'm not the one

whose face is all over the video.

Stop.

Come here.

-What was that all about?

-Just making a point.

Good.

I seem to remember a starving,

barefoot little street rat...

...who pulled a knife on me

in Tijuana.

I liked that kid.

She was prepared to kill

to get what she wanted.

The killer instinct

in its purest form.

What happened to that kid, Marina?

What happened to her?

What happened to that kid, Marina?

She's not hungry anymore,

is she?

She's warm and safe.

And she has a future. Thanks to me.

Thanks to me!

Find that tape. And don't come back

until you do.

Schools and courts are open today

for the election.

Mayor Garland and his opponent

addressed supporters to draw votes.

It's been a tight race.

But I am convinced

the people recognize...

... the great accomplishments

we've made...

-...and will decide against a change.

-Mayor Garland!

I've been reminded that Councilman

Frank Constantine is home recovering.

He asked me to tell his constituents

he'll be back in no time.

Ms. Washington?

-Hello?

-Hey!

You still alive?

-Concerned?

-Curious.

-Curious isn't gonna cut it.

-Okay.

I'm gonna visit Slim,

check his story. I'll call later.

-Where are you gonna be?

-Drinking. Then I have to go to work.

-You know what, where do you work?

-Slim's.
