Penthouse North Page #6

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.

I don't know. Would you?

Gee. I mean, Chad,

if you don't trust me...

You looking for this?

Chad, I'm deeply hurt

that you don't trust me.

I trust you.

- What?

- I trust you.

Yeah, but you're just saying

you trust me.

- Do you really trust me, Chad?

- I really trust you.

Phew!

For a second there,

I thought maybe

you didn't trust me.

Here's your knife.

This is Tim

in Traffic Watch 1.

I've got somebody

on the roof down there.

See me, please.

Please see me.

I'm gonna give you

one last chance.

Ugh!

Wave.

Wave!

Yeah, just two people

who decided to

start the party a little early.

OK? Huh?

Good. 'Cause we're gonna play

a game called follow the cat.

It's a long way

down there, Sara.

Ryan has a safe.

Show me.

Hey, honey.

Um... you're not thinking of

going to Sara's like that, are you?

I'm not going at all.

I thought we agreed.

You said we'd see how I feel.

Well, I feel like not going.

Danny, it's 10 blocks.

Listen.

Your pregnant wife

and your unborn son

are gonna go

and visit her sister.

You can come

or you can stay here

and drink your beer

and scratch your balls.

Drink this.

Why doesn't he just kill me?

Maybe I stopped him.

You're terrified of him.

You're his lapdog.

Like hell I am.

You don't get it, do you?

You have no idea

what he's gonna do to you.

- To me?

- Do the math.

$20 million divided by two?

Why would Hollander

cut you in

when he could take it all

for himself?

Oh...

You're way ahead of me,

aren't you?

I knew you were smart.

You're gonna kill him first,

aren't you?

Drink.

Help me, Chad,

and I will help you.

Really?

And then what will you do?

Whatever you want.

Kill him.

We gotta talk. Come on.

That Ryan.

Got some sense

of humour.

For a dead guy, I mean.

Diamonds weren't in the safe,

I'm guessing.

Yeah. I have a feeling

you knew that.

Which means...

...you're my only living link

to those rocks, Sara.

Where's Chad?

Did you kill him already?

I put him outside.

Give us a chance to... be alone.

He's working up the nerve

to kill you, you know.

Yeah, he's thinking about it.

You maybe even helped him...

little bit.

You know what, Sara?

Behind that...

...very pretty face

and those soft green eyes,

you're not all that innocent.

Are you?

Let's you and I make a deal.

I tell you where the diamonds are

and you let me live.

And as a kicker...

...I let you keep this.

If you're anything like me,

cash it in.

I'm nothing like you.

You kill people.

Yeah. I mean...

The world's a slaughterhouse

full of pigs

who are just too stupid to see

when the axe comes down.

Take the offer.

You're making

a really big mistake, Sara.

You know, I can hear

something in your voice
