:51:00
What fresh hell...?
:51:02
-Yeah?
-Where you been all day?
:51:06
I might ask you the same question.
:51:08
Relax, you're fine.
I checked the cabin an hour ago.
:51:11
Well, he showed up an hour
after you left last night.
:51:14
Oh, really?
Then he had a busy night.
:51:16
My office called me about
your Riverdale house. I'm sorry.
:51:19
The worst part is, I hadn't had
a chance to get the magazine out.
:51:23
The one with the story he says I stole.
:51:25
That's gone up in smoke now.
:51:27
Do you still want to go through with it?
Meeting? Showing him the magazine?
:51:30
Hell, yes, man.
:51:32
I've had a shitty year.
I want it settled now. Everything.
:51:35
Good. I called your agent
when I heard about the house.
:51:38
I figured he'd have a copy
of the magazine.
:51:41
He sent the original by UPS
overnight today.
:51:44
You can pick it up tomorrow after 3.
:51:46
I knew there was a reason I hired you.
:51:48
There's something else.
:51:50
I caught up with your
Tom Greenleaf today.
:51:52
The guy who drove past you
and Shooter on the lake road.
:51:55
Well, he's a weird one.
:51:57
First he says he did go down
to the Lake Drive on Tuesday...
:52:00
...and he saw you like you said.
:52:02
But then he gets nervous and says:
:52:04
"No, come to think of it, I didn't.
Didn't see anybody.
:52:07
Wasn't even on Lake Drive
on Tuesday."
:52:10
Yeah, well, Tom's old.
Maybe just slipped his mind.
:52:14
Don't be naive.
:52:15
He was scared shitless.
Somebody got to him.
:52:18
Come on, wait.
:52:20
Why would Shooter care if
Tom Greenleaf knows he's here?
:52:24
-Well, it depends.
-On what?
:52:26
On what he plans to do to you.
:52:29
I'm revising my opinion, Mort.
I don't think Shooter's just some nut.
:52:32
We need to consider the possibility
that he was hired to do this.
:52:37
Somebody with a grudge against you
hires a tough guy to rattle you...
:52:42
...scare you to death.
:52:43
But he hires the wrong guy.
:52:46
Things get out of control.
:52:48
They go further than
they're supposed to.
:52:51
Dead dogs...
:52:53
...burnt-down houses.
:52:56
Now he can't call him off.
