The Jackal Page #5

My beautiful Irish...

They let me out to ask you something.

Sir, I was thinking maybe we could

use the Zancona woman as insurance...

...in case Mulqueen gets happy feet.

- Listen...

...however he plays it, we play it straight.

Isabella Zancona's involvement

remains classified.

That means nothing in the report.

No name, no location, nothing. Got it?

Yes, sir.

I never knew his name,

but he was definitely American.

He had some kind

of special military training...

...where he learned Spanish,

in El Salvador, I think.

I didn't like talking to him.

I suppose we were all dangerous people...

...but he was different.

Declan was fire, all passion.

He had a cause.

This man was ice. No feeling, nothing.

Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Decker.

You've been very helpful.

It's best if you keep our conversation

confidential, even from your husband.

Don't worry about George.

He doesn't know anything

about my past and he doesn't want to.

All he needs to know is that I love him.

I see.

I thank you again.

I'll wait for you in the car.

This opens a locker

at Norfolk Greyhound Terminal.

Inside is a clean passport and $10,000 cash.

Your friends left it with me

in case you ever showed up.

Take it and go back to Ireland.

I can't.

What?

You gave your word?

Go now.

Once he kills whoever he's after,

they'll send you back to prison.

When I believe that, I'll use the key.

Are you happy at least?

Yes. I love my children.

And my husband, in my way, I mean.

Some nights I can close my eyes

and sleep...

...and no dead faces come to wake me.

That's more than I ever had.

You wouldn't have me give that up,

would you?

Give me some credit, will you?

She's Basque, isn't she?

Aye.

They say Basques live by the vendetta.

If they hate someone, it's to the death.

It's the same way when they love.

My first name is Valentina.

You have family in Russia?

My parents. My brother, in the navy.

Husband? Kids?

No. I have not found the time.

In truth, it's never been a conflict for me.

This is not a quality

a man looks for in a woman.

By the way...

...whatever Isabella gave you after I left...

...I trust you won't use it

until after our business is concluded.

Don't miss a thing, do you?

No, Mr. Mulqueen.

I see everything.

Maybe we should start

by canceling your public appearances.

No, I don't think that's necessary.

I mean, not yet.

This fellow's gonna need to

make preparations. He'll need time.

- How tight are the borders?

- Mexico and Canada have...

Mr. Mulqueen?

Something you'd like to share?

He'll likely be using four false identities.

Three will be on him, and one

in reserve at a drop box somewhere.

- That's the way he used to operate.
