The Dogs of War Page #5

I was busy.

You got the money?

No, no.

Don't take your coat off!

There, that's for you.

What does it mean?

Can Kimba be replaced?

Just read the report.

Is there any chance of a coup?

No, not now.

He don't trust his own army.

Rations the bullets.

He's crazy, see?

So, unless there's some

guerrilla army building up...

outside Zangaro

I don't know about, forget it.

The people I represent

won't do business with a madman.

He's obviously got to go.

What'd you say?

Could a well-trained...

well-equipped

mercenary force succeed?

- Succeed? At what?

- Replacing Kimba.

What'd you find over there?

Oil? Diamonds?

Could it succeed?

Sure. Why not?

How long would it take you...

to get an operation

like that off the ground?

Not me. You bought a recon.

You got it. I'm paid.

I'm done. Let's go!

You're paid, Shannon,

but you're not finished.

What would you want to get back

what they took from you?

Would $100,000 cure cold feet?

You got me mixed up

with somebody else.

Hello. Operator.

I'd like to make

a person-to-person.

Name, please.

Jessie Shannon.

Jessie Shannon.

Area code, please.

Area code 3-0-1.

4-4-6-1-8-0-8.

Who shall I say is calling?

Just say Jessie.

Will you hold on, please?

Wait a minute.

Don't tell me to hold on.

You hold on.

Hello?

Hello?

Your move.

God damn it!

I'll get it, Dad. Sit down.

Hard to keep

my bluffer's composure...

with the damn phone ringing.

Saved by the bell?

It's up to you.

Jessie, it's me.

Jamie?

Where are you?

The Bayview Motel... Hotel.

It's a couple of blocks

from where the Starlight was.

The Starlight burned down.

Yeah, I know.

That was two years ago.

Jamie? You OK?

Sure.

What are you doing here?

I want to see you...

but...

could you come down here?

I don't want

to run into your father.

Give me half an hour.

Pair of jacks.

Three jacks, pair of 9s.

Jessie? Everything OK?

Yeah, sure.

Daddy,

I'm going out for a while.

Could you get us

some more ice first?

Yeah, sure.

I'm out.

I'll stop playing poker

when Carlos is off.

You shouldn't be doing this.

Don't be silly.

Go on and play your hand.

Who called?

Jamie.

What did he want?

- He wants to see me.

- You think that's wise?

We were married,

for Christ's sake.

If he wants to see me,

I want to see him.

He's the same, Jessie.

I know it. He hasn't changed.

He's the same irresponsible

bastard you divorced!

I didn't divorce him.

You did!

- Did I scare you?

- Yes.

It's cold.

- Is that you?

- Yeah.

You got skinny.

You got on dark glasses.

How come?

I didn't want you

to see that...

You were crying?

Yeah.

They do a great job.

What do you want to do?

You got time?
