int. bonaventure hotel - bar area - day - 12:39pm
what would you do in my place?
there's a plot to kill the governor. if you don't believe me, check that guy right there. he has a gun.
what?
he's dead?
how should i?
you killed him.
my wife always said i had a problem trusting people.
you don't understand. i'm going to trust you. and you have to trust me.
look. my daughter .  she's going to die. unless you can help me.
no! you have to listen to me.
please. please. you have to believe me.  they have my daughter. they want me to kill eleanor grant  or they'll kill my daughter.
no! you can't! they're in on it.
i don't know. one of them is following me. if he knew what i'd just told you they'd.
look, how did i get in here with this!?
you've got to trust me. i'm putting my daughter's life in your hands. she's only six. she's just a little girl. please, please, trust me.
you're right, it is. here.
will you trust me now?
the man following me has a walkie- talkie. if he sees i'm not here he'll call his partner. i do anything out of line and he'll send the word to kill my daughter.
are you sure?
but.
okay.
hey.
i think you better put that away.
where are we going?
who is this? are you sure we can trust him?
we have to hurry.
i know it because i'm the one who's supposed to kill her.
not hired. they're blackmailing me.
i don't. i don't know. please, mr. grant! they have my daughter. i'm not some lunatic. your wife is in trouble. someone is trying to kill her. someone is trying to make me kill her. please, listen.
no!
i killed you.
i'm not stupid.  i know how this is supposed, to work.
i kill her - and you kill me.
even if you don't, her security men will.
how am i supposed to get away?
how do i know you won't kill my daughter once i'm gone?
and i'm supposed to trust you?
lynn!
no, please.
you remember me?
something is going to happen. when it's over you'll know what i was talking about.
please. something is going to happen.
please.
he's deaf.
he can't hear a word we're saying.
one thirty. california ballroom.
let me talk to her again.
i want'to talk to her.
i talk to her or you can forget about it.
what are you going to do about it, shoot me?
what? walk out there and twist her arm off?
it would be a lot less trouble just to let me talk to her.
yes, sweetie, it's me.
i know you do, honey.
not just yet, baby. there's. there's something daddy has to do.
no, honey, not to be a hero. but i want you to remember something for me, all right?
he's doing it for you. no matter what anybody tells you, no matter who they are, he's doing it for you, because he loves you.
will you promise me that?
all right. kisses to you.
no. kisses to you.
i'm not dragging you into anything. i don't expect.
what?
that's right.
my daughter. they have her in a van across the street. they say they'll kill her if i don't do something for them.
there was a woman. she was trying to help me. i watched him murder her.
kill the governor.
one of them is in on it. he might even be in charge. her security is in on it. there's only one person i know for sure isn't in on it.
the governor. if i could just talk to her.
no way, there's nothing you can do to help me.
it's my kid. i've got to. to somehow. do right by my little girl.
it's about time i did. i was one of those guys, workaholics. i worked my ass off for them - my wife, my daughter. that's just what i thought i was supposed to do.
so when she wanted a divorce. i was. i didn't know what i'd done wrong. i didn't see it. i didn't see it.
i'm sorry. you understand i don't mind dying if i could save my daughter. i mean that.
what are you going to do?
if nothing else, someone heard my story.
keep the change.
i need a drink.
give me a . a gingerale?
well, i'm just a regular guy.
yeah, that's right. but i've built a good solid business out of nothing. don't underestimate the regular guy.
it's on the special interest at the end of the bar.
let's all hope so.
hi.
thank you.
where am i going?
yeah.
what!?
what am i supposed to say to her?
excuse me.
no, please.
mrs. grant, governor. i won't hurt you.
i appreciate that.
if i were here to hurt you i would have done it already.
i have a problem.
only you can help me. i'm also sorry to say, my problem is your problem, mrs. grant.
that's right.
it was because i had this. in my pocket
i need you to listen to me. carefully. three lives depend on you listening very carefully to what i have to say.
krista brooks is dead.
i saw her die. she was shot. with this gun.
no.
i don't know. the only thing i know about him is that he works for your husband.
and your husband works for somebody else.
i knew you wouldn't believe me.
i don't blame you. i don't have any proof. but nothing like this occurs in a vacuum. you can't be totally oblivious. you must suspect something. you're doing things which are making people angry. people who have been in power a long time are losing their jobs. you know them better than me. how much does it mean to them? how far would they go to hang onto it?
there's only one way to find out for sure. try to cancel the last speech.
it's the last chance they have for me to kill you. try to get out of it. they won't let you. they can't. try to change the schedule and you'll know i'm right. what have you got to lose? it comes down to who you trust, them or me? test them.
this? i've never even fired one.
i don't know.
i don't know. i have to get back.
this is about power and you haven't got any. there's nothing more you can do. i'm sorry. thanks for trying.
i know what i have to do. i'll do it. let's go.
look out! look out!
look out!
lost my watch.
for what?
believe me, i don't blame you. this is the governor, lynn. say hello.
can we go now?
no, that's.  that's ok. we don't need any help. we'll be just fine. won't we, lynn?
same to you.
thanks for the shine.
come on, kid. i gotta make a phone call.
