Penthouse North Page #3

Synopsis: It's New Year's Eve in New York City and everyone's getting ready to party. Watching, waiting, a man called Hollander has a different kind of party in mind. Alone in her high-rise apartment, Sara has no idea that her boyfriend was a thief. But what he stole - and from whom - is about to put her life on the line. Trapped in the penthouse with Hollander and his sadistic partner, these two will kill, maim, tear the place apart to find a fortune in diamonds. While the party rages outside, inside Sara fights desperately for her life. It's kill or be killed in a pulse-pounding , non-stop fight to the finish - and it all takes place in Penthouse North.

OK?

Hi. Yeah, this is

ADA Robert Shay.

I'm with a young woman

who's a victim of an assault.

Her name is Sara Frost.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Apparently, there's a homicide

involved as well,

at 260 Blackwood,

Penthouse North.

Just a second.

Ah. It's the boyfriend. Yeah.

OK. Oh, great. OK. Thanks.

Great. I got it.

Thank you very much.

OK. There's a unit.

It's a block away.

The police are gonna meet us

at the building, OK?

- Thank you.

- OK.

Here we are.

Are the police here yet?

They'll be here any second.

May I use your phone

to call my sister, please?

Sure.

Is that them?

- Sara.

- It's him.

- It's him!

- I know.

Oh, God. Oh!

No.

Very interesting day, Chad.

Very interesting.

Let's see -

first, you killed Ryan,

before we had a chance to get

any information out of him.

And then you let

a 118-pound blind girl

make a fool out of you.

That's not how it happened.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure

that's how it happened.

It's exactly how it happened, Chad.

Just like that.

Let's face it.

You're kind of a f***-up.

Aren't you?

You're also a mess.

Go clean yourself up. Go ahead.

Go on.

Look... so you know,

the only thing -

honestly, the only thing -

standing between you and

that psychopath in there is me.

That's it.

OK?

Well. Alright, huh?

Yeah, it's kinda like

your own little fortress.

Just you and Ryan up here

where nobody can touch you.

Wasn't gonna last.

I was always

gonna find you.

Find me?

Well, Ryan.

And whoever else

was lucky enough to be with him.

What do you want?

What are you gonna do?

What am I gonna do?

I don't know.

I guess whatever it takes.

That's what I'm gonna do.

Whatever it takes.

Wow. You know,

I know you can't see this.

But this view, I mean...

This view is drop-dead.

Hey, did you ever wonder

how a young guy like Ryan

could ever even afford

a place like this?

He had money.

Yeah. He had money.

Did he ever say anything

about Miami?

- Miami?

- Uh-huh.

Big city. Florida.

He used to live there.

Anything else?

He said he got involved

with some very bad people

down there.

Really?

Yeah.

Hey.

Who's this?

What's the name

of your cat?

Shadow.

Shadow. Hey, Shadow.

Aren't you a pretty girl?

Funny. I didn't figure Ryan

as a cat guy.

What is wrong with you?

Ryan is dead. That animal

in the next room murdered him.

You think you knew Ryan.

Let me ask you something.

If Ryan was such a choirboy,

what was he doing in business

with the likes of Chad and me?

It's here. Somewhere.

Ryan would never let it

get out of his reach.

He'd keep it close by.

You know where it is.

Don't you think I would have

told that psychopath

anything I knew

once he put his hands on me?
