3 scenes

Szell's brother's been killed in Manhattan. A collision with an oil truck.

Doc

Oh, boy. Any changes?

Only everything.

Doc

They're getting all the couriers.

Doc
[in a fancy restaurant]

How could you forget to wear a tie?

Doc

I know that you're going to the bank sooner or later.

And what else do you know?

Doc

I know that you're panicking. You think when you leave the bank, someone's gonna rob you.

Who would do such a thing?

Doc

Obviously, you think I would.

Well? Can I trust you?

Doc

You never could. You only had to.

We're talking of my safety.

Doc

May I be candid?

Yes.

Doc

I couldn't give a **** about your—
[Szell stabs Doc with a push dagger hidden in his sleeve, and Doc gasps. Szell takes the knife out of Doc and leaves with his men while Doc collapses]
