The Two Faces of January Page #3

who invested

their money with you.

You ought to be more careful

who you do business with.

Listen, I'm sorry that

your clients are upset,

but I can't help it

if the market crashes.

This is a nice hotel.

Just like all the other nice

hotels you've been staying at.

I've been following your trail all

across Europe, Mr. McFarland.

You've been throwing

a lot of cash around.

- How long is the trip to Mycenae?

- A whole day, madam.

"Semper fi," huh?

You a marine?

No. Infantry...

- army.

- Yeah.

It's funny, you know?

All that time over here

during the war,

I could give a sh*t

about Europe.

Yet here I am again.

Here's the deal:

I could care less about

your other investors.

You reimburse my clients,

I'll go back home to my family

and leave you

and your lovely wife alone.

My wife has nothing

to do with this.

Look, why don't

you and I go downstairs,

have a drink,

see if we can come

to an arrangement?

Unfortunately, I'm not authorized

to negotiate with you.

I'm just here for the money.

Yeah.

Okay, well,

let me go and get it.

Chester?

- Chester?

- Don't come in!

- Hello. Hi.

- Hello.

I need to return something

to some friends of mine,

- the McFarlands.

- They're in room 505.

505, okay.

- Is there a phone I can use?

- The house phone is right over there.

Ah, thank you.

Don't answer it!

Don't answer it.

- What's happening?

- He's fine. He fell.

He hit his head pretty bad.

I've got to take him downstairs,

get him some help.

I thought you said

no one would follow us.

Open the door!

Get dressed, start packing. We've

gotta get out of here right away.

Oh God.

No.

Can you, uh... can you help me

get this guy's door open?

- What happened?

- He's hammered, that's what happened.

I found him in the lobby.

Good evening.

Evening.

Easy, like this.

Oh Christ.

- Is he okay?

- He'll be fine.

He's gonna have an almighty

hangover tomorrow though.

Who is he?

I haven't the foggiest idea.

Some drunk.

He tried to paw Colette in the elevator,

then followed us to our room,

so I smacked him.

Let's let him sleep it off.

Oh.

Your wife left it in the cab.

I was bringing it back.

The truth is...

I owe some people money.

They sent him to

threaten us with a gun.

Look.

I don't know what to do.

I mean, I... I don't know...

if he's alone or there's

somebody else in the lobby.

All I know is we gotta

get out of this hotel

before that man wakes up.

Can you help us?

Thank you.

Sorry, it's not the grand.

It's perfect.

It feels like New York.

Oh, is that you?

Yeah, with my dad.

Is he back home?

Uh, he passed away a month ago.

I'm sorry.

So, uh, have you

figured out who he is yet?
