Point Blank

TWO GUNSHOTS

'Cell. Prison cell.

'How did I get here?'

HARMONICA PLAYER: 'What do ya want?'

Walker, let's get out of here! I want to talk to you, Walker!

COME ON, WALKER !

Listen to me, Walker! I need your help!

-I need help!

-What're you doing?

'Walker, they use the prison. You know, it's closed. We just wait.

'We wait till they get it, then we take it from them...'

You take it. I'll get the lights.

-'You're my friend, Walker.

-My friend.

-'I can't make it on my own.

-Help my friend...'

-Help me, help me, help me!

-What...?

I hear it! Early!

Hit 'em!

'I owe a bundle to some guys.'

They'll kill me if I don't get it!

HELICOPTER

'We just hit him on the head.'

It's simple!

Hey!!

Walker...!

-We made it!

-We BLEW it!

'We blew it!'

-That's 10...20...

-2,000 in 20s.

-Come on!

-I'm trying to count!

Coming, Lynne?

-The boat won't be here for an hour.

-Lynne?

-Darling?

-It's not as much as I thought.

-Is it less than you need?

-You better take care of your husband.

How'd we get into this mess?

I don't know.

Lynne.

Come here.

Take me away!

'Did it happen?

'A dream?

'A dream...'

GUIDE: 'Notice the treacherous currents around Alcatraz, rendering it virtually escape-proof.

'The water temperature is usually around 50 degrees.

'In its 29-year history, the thing that obsessed its prisoners and plagued its wardens was ESCAPE.

'In 1936, a prisoner was almost into the Bay...

'before he was discovered.

'In 1937, 2 men got off the island.

'Because of the dense fog,

'it is assumed that they drowned.

'On June 12th, 1962, three men dug their way out of the cell-block using small teaspoons.

'They managed to get off the island. They have never been heard of since.'

How did YOU make it, Walker?

'The historic "Battle of Alcatraz"

'took place in 1946, when 2 convicts took over the main cell block.

'They released the prisoners in the cells.

'They had nine hostages...'

Using the rock, for a drop.

Fuzz.

I'm Yost.

Are you making a charge?

No, no, no. I want something else.

'After the 48-hour break, 2 officers and three prisoners were dead.'

I, eh, I want the Organisation.

Your friend Reese? He's in the big time now.

Suits...

..penthouses.

He bought his way back in...

..with the money he stole from you.

'..indicates they were swept out

'to a watery grave.'

-93,000, wasn't it?

-Ninety-three.

Ninety-three.

You want Reese, and I want the Organisation.

You understand?

I'm going to help you, and you're going to help me!

That's your wife's address in LA. Reese lives there, too.

'In 1854, the US Army began to fortify Alcatraz...'

FOOTSTEPS...

FOOTSTEPS...

Walker, Reese is gone.

Three months ago.

Gone. Cold.

Moved out.

Walker...I'm glad you're not dead.

It's true. I really am.

You ought to kill me.

Can't sleep...

Haven't slept.

Keep taking pills.

Dream about you

how good it must be, being dead.

Is it?

No, no, I can't!

I never had the courage.

This?

Payoff, I guess.

I really don't know where he is.

Money?

A guy brings it the first of every month thousand.

Thousand...

It's always a different guy. No contact with Mal.

Just couldn't make it with you, Walker. With him, it was...kind of fun.

Just drifted into it.

That night on Alcatraz...

I knew it was you I really wanted.

I found out too late.

'Do you remember when we met?

'The rain?

'You were a little drunk.

'So was I.

'Oh, you were funny when you were drunk.

'Strange, I don't remember very much,

'but, suddenly,

'we were together.

'It was wonderful at first. I loved you.

'Then Mal happened. You talked a lot about Mal.

'Mal Reese... He was very real for me, until I MET him.

'That night at the reunion, when you found Mal again and brought him home...

'Oh, the two of you together!

'Then it was the three of us.

'Laughing.

'It was...

'Oh, it was PERFECT.

'And I think I was happier then than at any other time.

'I seemed to be floating between the two of you.

'Suddenly, I began to drift to Mal.

'And I...I just went with it...'

'Lynne, come here.'

"HEARS" GUNSHOTS

-True, true.

-You sure it was him?

-It was him.

-Tall, big man?

-I KNOW him, Mal !

-You didn't tell him anything?

-Mal, would I tell him anything!?

-You sure?

-YES !

-Then why didn't he kill you?

-He killed the car!

-You give him a name...?

-I told him you were in 'Frisco.

-Smart boy.

-Just don't hold out on me!

-You can trust me.

You had him and you let him go. Find him again.

-FIND him!?

-Just do it!

-Aw, Mal, c'mon...

-Shut UP !

Walker!

Where's Reese?

Lynne said you were dead!

-She's dead.

-Lynne...?

-You!?

-No, her. Those!

-I'm not sleeping.

-I heard you were running with Reese.

-Well, you heard wrong.

-Does he want you?

-Sure he does.

-Do YOU want HIM ?

-He makes my flesh crawl!

-I want him.

-You were the best thing about Lynne.

-WHY don't you want him?

I don't want ANY of them, Walker.

-I was going with a guy owned a jazz club.

-Yeah, the Movie House.

It was different then. Oh, it was a GOOD jazz club.

-The Organisation wanted to become his partner, and...eh...

-And?

And he...

killed him...

I run it. I run the club now.

Oh, boy, do I pay! You know, I loved him.

-Why?

-Pay. Gotta make a living.

The Organisation...

And Mal Reese...

What do you want from me, Walker?

Reese. He owes me money.

Lynne and money...

Let me fix your face.

-I've got an extra room. You can stay here if you want...

-Reese!

I'll get 'im for you.

-Well?

-Nothing.

I've had guys out all night looking for him. Not a sign.

Everything humanly possible, Mal.

See you at noon.

You, ah...ah...

Don't get lost.

INTERCOM BUZZES >

Yes? Yes, Mr Carter. >

You can go in now, Mr Reese. >

You can go in now, Mr Reese.

The usual formalities, Mr Reese.

There you go.

SECRETARY: Three copies to Santa Barbara...

I said TWO!

What the hell is it NOW, Reese!?

There's a lot at stake, Mr Carter. That's why I must...

Must!?

-I'd be grateful for any help.

-You're trouble. I always said so.

I was against taking you back in, but I was over-ruled.

-Trouble always finds you out.

-I'd appreciate anything you could do for me.

What's his name?

-Walker.

-What's his FIRST name?

He never called himself anything but that. Not even his wife...

-Wife have something to do with his grudge?

-Yeah.

Figures(!)

That mess you got us into last year that cost us 150,000 that's what Walker's here for, isn't it?

-Only 93,000 was his.

-Only(?)

-What's the story?

-A job, Mr Carter. You remember the Alcatraz run?

-I brought it into the Organisation.

-He was one of the men you held up?

No. He was with me.

You took his share, too?

-I needed all of it to pay you back!

-You took his share AND his wife.

-She still with you?

-He killed her.

-You shouldn't have left him alive.

-Does he know where you are?

-No, but he's looking.

-Fine.

I'll tell you what we'll do...

We'll let him know where you are. And then he'll come for you...

Won't he?

They're waiting.

It's a set-up.

-They want you to try and get him.

-Where is he?

-The Huntley.

'It's run by the Organisation.'

Where would he be?

-All the way up the penthouse.

-Oh?

He always uses it.

-What's it like?

-Fort Knox.

You've been there?

Once, to see Lynne.

-What's that, an apartment house?

-Yeah.

-Oh.

-Residential.

That go to the top?

-There's another one, in the lobby, goes to the other penthouse.

-They got two?

-What's the roof like?

-Flat, open.

Look at it! There's men everywhere. You're gonna have a lot of trouble getting in.

But you'll never get OUT.

Well, he has to come out SOMETIME.

Yeah.

How bad does he want you, Chris?

-Oh, I don't know. Who knows.

-YOU know. How bad?

Pretty bad, I guess.

Bad enough to let you into the Huntley?

-Why SHOULD I ?

-Well, that's up to you.

Mr Reese, please. Right over there.

This way to heaven(!)

< We have a saying in Brazil...

He said to go on up.

SPEAKS PORTUGUESE

So, you see, we have no worry in the world.

Why? That's a way of life.

Hello, Mal.

Go on in, honey.

-Are these all right?

-Yeah, fine. Now tie yourselves up.

No, not individually together.

Well, Cinderella, I was beginning to think you'd never come for your shoe.

-Well, here I am.

-What made you change your mind?

It's a woman's privilege. All good things come to those who wait.

Then I win first prize!

Scotch?

Scotch is fine.

Do you know how long I've been hung up on you? The first time I saw you, with Lynne.

-I've got some business to settle, then we'll go to New York.

-Sure, Mal.

Give me the police! Emergency! Wait till they answer.

Help me, please! I-I'm being attacked!

Eh, Ferguson, 2291 Western. Across from the Huntley.

For God's sake, hurry up!

-Is that all right?

-Fine, thank you.

Have you seen Lynne lately?

You know about her and me...

You girls oughta kiss and make up.

I haven't seen her... not since the two of you...

You ever meet Walker?

Oh, a couple of times. Didn't he die or something?

About a year ago.

SIREN WAILING

-What's going on?

-It's OK, Mal.

It's across the way. >

It's across the way!

What goes? It's across the street.

It's all right, it's all right!

Well, what do we do? TELL him.

BYSTANDER: Two guys have been attacked.

Mike. Yeah?

Two clowns got held up. Is that all? Huh!

Mal, could we...close the curtains?

Sure.

It's a great view, but...

Get up!

-GUARD: You OK, Mal?

-Yeah...

-What are you going to do...?

-I want you to come with me, Mal.

-What for?

-I want my 93 grand.

-You don't stand a chance...

-Mal!

Mal, wake up! Don't go to sleep! Let's go.

-Let me get dressed!

-No. My money!

-I gave it all to the Organisation.

-Who has it?

-There's no one man.

-There's always one man!

-No, it's a big operation...

-Names, Mal, names!

-Fairfax...

Brewster...kill me...Carter... come on, KILL me!

-Who do you work for?

-Carter. Kill me!

-Where do I find him?

-It won't do you any good!

-Where!?

-I don't remember.

-Where!?

-The Stuart Building.

-He's got offices there the Multiplex Company.

-What's to stop me getting him?

-No-one gets in without a search.

-Worry about yourself, not me!

All right! I'll get it for you, but you've got to trust me...

Trust me...

You... You...!

You're my friend, Walker!

We'll do this one TOGETHER, Mal.

Sure we will, Walker!

Mal...?

SCREAMS

Drop it!

Don't shoot...!

Save me...! Don't shoot...! >

Don't shoot! I quit! >

POLICEMAN: Who're you trying to kill?

Ah, my knee! Stop!

Arggh! Take it easy! Stop!

My knee!

-I saw it. The ambulance, everything.

-Yeah. He fell.

You should have KILLED him.

This money was Lynne's. Take it.

You died at Alcatraz all right.

-Goodbye, Walker.

-Yeah, goodbye.

I'd like the number of the Multiplex Company, please.

If you want Carter, I can help you.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

-Mr Carter, I want something from you, too.

-What?

-My 93,000.

-Yeah(?)

-Yeah! It's my money!

-Fred, call me tomorrow?

-Yes, you bet.

Luncheons, dinners... I'm getting fat!

-Any debt Reese has is his problem, not ours.

-It's your problem now.

-You don't own the place(!)

-Sorry.

Over here...

Don't monopolise him.

-Reese is...

-Dead! They're scraping his body off the sidewalk.

-Then his debt died with him.

-Wrong. It passed on to you.

-No-one would accept such a debt!

-If you don't, I'll kill you.

MOUTHING SILENTLY

You don't know who you're dealing with!

I want my money in 12 hours. I'll tell YOU where to make the drop.

If you don't, you are dead.

I said NOBODY was to go up there! He could have done without a girl!

-Mal said to let her through...

-Do you know what this is going to cost me to cover up!?

-She was Walker's sister-in-law!

-We didn't know...

-Well, HE did!

-(She was the Trojan Horse.)

-What!?

-I said, she was the Trojan Horse.

Trojan Horse...?

You're a smart boy, Stegman.

Come on, I want to talk to you.

-Get rid of them and bring the stuff.

-Right... The door is this way(!)

-Know what I'm going to do about Walker?

-Have him, eh...?

-Wrong.

-Killing him is no longer economic.

-What about the principle?

-Profit is the only principle.

What are you gonna do?

-YOU'RE gonna do it. You're gonna pay Walker off.

-Is this money...?

Ever been so close to so much? I made an agreement with Walker.

The storm drain, here... An open storm drain.

You go down and he'll collect.

-But why...eh...?

-Why what?

-Why me?

-Cos you know what he looks like.

-W-when do you want me to go...?

-NOW, Stegman. Use that door.

-Sure...

-Eh, Stegman...

-Yes?

-You WILL give it to him, won't you?

-Yes.

-Good. You wouldn't try what Reese did, would you?

Can I help you?

-(Which door is he in?)

-Behind me.

(OK, the buzzer.)

What are you doing here!?

I want my money!

It's all arranged as you wanted!

You're crazy, Walker! How can THIS help you!?

Let's go.

-I want you to pay me PERSONALLY.

-You can't take me out of here in broad daylight!

-Things aren't done this way now...

-It's a set-up.

-I assure y...

-Don't.

-You authorised the pay-off?

-Yep.

-What about Brewster?

-Who told you about Brewster!?

-Reese talked!

-We run things.

-Nobody else?

-No.

-NO?!

-Well, there's a money man...

-What's his name?!

Fairfax!

-There's Stegman with your money. Go get it.

-You go get it for me!

NO! It's all right!

-FAINTLY:

-It's Carter!

-With that little thing!?

-He was a good shot.

-Carter, Brewster, Fairfax.

-Brewster's next.

-Where do I find him?

-He's out of town.

-When will he be back?

-Tomorrow. He's got a meeting.

-I want him alone.

-We can fix that.

-Where's the meeting?

-At his house.

-Where's his house?

We're here. This is it.

I said alone.

Take it easy. You'll last longer!

Hello, Walker.

So they really got to you, huh?

I got well paid for fingering Reese.

-This place is like a morgue. I should have moved months ago.

-This guy you went around with...?

He spent some time here, huh?

Yes.

A lot of this stuff was his.

So, what are you gonna do now?

I don't know. What about you?

Are you asking me out?

SHE LAUGHS QUIETLY

Walker?

Come on in.

-Whose is it?

-Brewster's. The Organisation uses it for meetings.

Nobody LIVES in it, that's for sure! How do you know he won't show up!?

He WILL.

-Why am

-I

-here?

-I thought you'd be safer with me.

-When do we expect our host?

-Maybe not till morning.

-He won't pay you and you'll kill him!

-This isn't a pitch(!)

-Forget it.

-YOU forget it!

Good morning, Stevie(!)

Look, it wasn't Lois's idea, it was YOURS!

You're finished!

What would you DO with the money? It wasn't yours in the first place.

Why don't you just lie down and die?

GUNSHOT

Goin' to work? Another day, another dollar.

-Welcome back, boss.

-Bill.

-What do YOU want?

-My money.

-What for?

-Stegman.

-He's nothing. Who killed Carter?

Bill, Bill, the briefcase.

-I

-did.

-Oh, YOU did, huh...? What happened?

Carter was where Walker should have been. You don't CARE, do you?

I love it! But you killed the man who was supposed to pay you(!)

-Well, who pays me!?

-I can't hear ya!

-What about Walker?

-What!?

-He's still around.

-The Organisation will take care of Walker.

He's a pro. Walker's beautiful. He's just tearing you apart.

-You coming with me?

-Pass.

-I'll wait for Fairfax. HE'LL pay me.

-All right.

If he doesn't, kill him, too(!)

Hey!

What's my last name?

What's my FIRST name?

Look at that hillside! Nobody did any watering or anything!

You tell people to do things and it makes no difference!

Just a minute... It's ice-cold, Bill!

Arggh!

Walker... Walker...!

-You're a very bad man, Walker! What do you want!?

-My money.

-I want my 93 grand.

-You threaten a financial structure like this for 93,000!? I don't believe you!

-What do you really want!?

-My money.

My money!

Well, we're not gonna GIVE you any money!

Carter...!

-Who runs things?

-Carter and I! ME.

-Will Fairfax pay me?

-Fairfax is a man who signs cheques!

-Cash.

-Nothing! Fairfax is dead. He just doesn't know it yet!

SOMEBODY'S gotta pay.

-Make a phone call.

-Walker, it's a waste of time!

All right.

-< GUN CLICKS

-I'm just getting a cigar out.

Cash(?) You think I can go to some hole in the wall,

take out 93,000 and peel it off for you(?)

-'Operator.'

-Brewster Los Angeles. Get me Mr Fairfax.

This is a CORPORATION, Walker.

We deal in millions. We never see cash! I got 11 in my pocket!

-MAN ON PHONE: How are you?

-I just got in.

-How's the weather?

-OK.

Listen, I got a man named Walker with me. Says we owe him 93,000.

-Are you gonna say anything!?

-What do you WANT me to say?

He says he's gonna shoot me

unless I pay him.

You know me better than that!

Wanna say a word?

-How much is Brewster worth to you?

-Threatening calls don't impress me!

He's gettin' ready to shoot...

-Yes or no!?

-Of course not!

Walker...? What's happened!?

Nothing. Where'd you come from!?

-I'm with him.

-Oh, you're...

Walker, it, eh...occurred to me that...that, eh...we might still...

be able to do something for you...

I mean, get you the money...

But, eh, not here in Los Angeles...

There's still one set-up where large sums of money change hands: the Alcatraz run.

You remember it?

It's still there, once a week.

-Alcatraz.

-The drop's changed, but the run is still the same. So...

If you wanna go to San Francisco...

Her, too.

I mean, anything you want. You can trust me, Walker.

There's supposed to be a light. I don't know exactly where it is, but it's up there.

Is that it?

All right, good.

-Just stay in the light.

-What do you mean...?

-Nothing's gonna happen, is it(?)

-No, just what I said will happen!

You're gonna get your money.

The whole thing's routine, Walker.

What are you looking for? There's nobody else here!

Walker...?

Walker!?

Walker?

HELICOPTER APPROACHING

Here it is.

Hey, Walker? Walker...?

It's coming in. Safe as a church. Your money.

What about your friend Fairfax?

-Fairfax is dead or he will be tomorrow.

-It IS tomorrow.

-Gonna help me carry the box?

-No.

Here's your money...

-GUNSHOT

-AH...!

Walker...! Why did you... do that...!? Uhh...!

Walker didn't shoot you.

Fairfax...

This is Fairfax, Walker! Kill him!

You should've stayed an accountant.

Our deal's done, Walker. Brewster was the last one.

Huh(!) He thought he could take over from ME(!)

Hey, Walker...

Come on in with me. I've been looking YEARS for someone like you.

Well, come and get your money!
