I tried, believe me, but Keaton wouldn't have it. It was too farfetched for him. Keaton was a grounded guy. An excop. To a cop, the explanation is never that complicated. It's always simple. There's
|
A man in a suit with a slim build. Tall.
|
Wait a minute.
|
I don't have a minute. Are you saying it was Keyser Soze? You told the D.A. you didn't know who it was.
|
Don't shine me, Verbal. No more stalling. You know what I'm getting at.
|
I don't.
|
YES YOU DO. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING AT. THE TRUTH. TRY TO TELL ME YOU DIDN'T KNOW. TRY TO TELL ME YOU SAW SOMEONE KILL KEATON .
|
TRY TO REEF LYING TO ME NOW. I KNOW EVERYTHING .
|
I don't know what you're talking about.
|
YOU KNOW. YOU'VE KNOWN THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME. GIVE IT TO ME.
|
I don't understand what you're saying. I saw Keaton get shot, I swear to you.
|
Then why didn't you help him?
|
I WAS AFRAID, OKAY? Somehow, I was sure it was Keyser Soze at that point. I couldn't bring myself to raise my gun to him.
|
But Keaton...
|
It was Keyser Soze, Agent Kujan. I mean the Devil himself. How do you shoot the Devil in the back?
|
He was a stool pigeon for the Justice Department. He swore out a statement to Federal Marshals that he had seen and could positively identify one Keyser Soze and had intimate knowledge of his business, including, but not exclusive to, drug trafficking and murder.
|
I never heard of him.
|
His own people were selling him to a gang of Hungarians. Most likely the same Hungarians that Sate all but wiped out back in Turkey. The money wasn't there for dope. The Hungarians were going to buy the one guy that could finger Soze for them.
|
I said I never heard of him.
|
But Keaton had. Edie Finneran was his extradition advisor. She knew who he was and what he knew.
|
I don't
|
There were no drugs on that boat. It was a hit. A suicide mission to whack out the one man that could finger Keyser Soze so Sate had a few thieves put to it. Men he knew he could march into certain death.
|
But how wait. You're saying SOZE sent t us to kill someone?
|
Verbal, he left you behind for a reason. If you all knew Soze could find you anywhere, why was he ready to send you off with the money when he could have used you to take the boat?
|
He wanted me to live.
|
Why did he want you to live? A onetime dirty cop without a loyalty in the world finds it in his heart to save a worthless ratcripple? No, sir. Why'
|
Edie.
|
I don't buy that reform story for a minute. And even if I did, I certainly don't believe he would send you to protect her. So why?
|
Because he was my friend.
|
No, Verbal. You weren't friends. Keaton didn't have friends. He saved you because he wanted it that way. It was his will.
|
No...
|
Keaton was Keyser Soze
|
NO.
|
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
|
THE KIND OF MAN THAT COULD HAVE KILLED EDIE FINNERAN.
|
Edie...
|
He used all of you to get him on that boat. He couldn't get on alone and he had to pull the trigger himself to make sure he got his man. The one man that could identify him.
|
This is all bullshit.
|
He left you to stay behind and tell us he was dead. You saw him die, right? Or did you? You had to hide when the first police cars showed up. You heard the shot, just before the fire but you didn't see him die.
|
I knew him. He would never
|
He programmed you to tell us just what he wanted you to. Customs has been
|
If he's dead, Verbal if what you say is true, then it won't matter. It was his idea to hit the Taxi Service in New York, wasn't it? Tell me the truth.
|
It was all Keaton. We followed him from the beginning.
|
I didn't know. I saw him die. I believe he's dead. Christ
|
Why lie about everything else, then?
|
You know what it's like, Agent Kujan, to know you'll never be good? Not good like you. You got good all fucked around. I mean a stand up guy. I grew up knowing I was never going to be good at anything 'cause I was a cripple. Shit, I wasn't
|
You're not safe on your own.
|
You think he's..?
|
Is he Keyser Soze I don't know, Verbal. It seems to me that Keyser Sate is a shield. Like you said, a spook story, but I know Keaton and someone out there is pulling strings for you. Stay here and let us protect you.
|
I'm not bait. No way. I post today.
|
You posted twenty minutes ago. Captain Leo wants you out of here a.s.a.p., unless you turn state's.
|
I'11 take my chances, thank you. It's tougher to buy the cheapest bagman than it is to buy a cop.
|
Where are you going to go, Verbal? You gonna run? Turn states evidence. You might never see trial. If somebody wants to get you, you know They'll get you out there.
|
Maybe so, but I'm no rat, Agent Kujan. You tricked me, that's all. I won't keep my mouth shut 'cause I'm scared. I'11 keep it shut 'cause I let Keaton down by getting caught Edie Finneran too. And if they kill me, it's
|
Even if I was to let you talk to him, he won't talk to you. He's paranoid about being recorded and he knows the interrogation rooms are wired
|
This won't be an' interrogation, just a... friendly chat to kill time.
|
No, no, no, no, no.
|
If it was a dope deal, where's the dope, if it was a hit, who called it in?
|
And I am sure you have a host of wild + theories to answer these questions.
|
You know damn well what I think.
|
That's crazy, Dave and it doesn't matter. He has total immunity and his story checks out. He doesn't know what you want to know.
|
I don't think he does. Not exactly, but there's a lot more to his story. I want to know why twentyseven men died on that pier for what looks to be ninetyone million dollars worth of dope that wasn't there. Above all, I want to be sure that Dean Keaton is dead.
|
His name was Arturo Marquez. A petty smuggler out of Argentina. He was arrested in New York last year for trafficking. He escaped to California and got picked up in Long Beach. They were setting up his extradition when he escaped again. Get this Edie Finneran was called in to advise the proceedings.
|
Kobayashi.
|
What do you mean I can't see him?
|
The D.A. came down here last night ready to arraign before they even moved him to county. Kint's lawyer comes in and five minutes later, the D.A. comes out looking like he'd been bitchslapped by the boogey man. They took his statement and cut him a deal.
|
Did they charge him with anything?
|
Weapons. Misdemeanor two.
|
What'the fuck is that?
|
When does he post bail?
|
Two hours, tops.
|
I want to see him.
|
He won't go into the interrogation room.
|
Someplace else, then.
|
Where?
|
I know what I wanted to know about Keaton.
|
Which is shit.
|
No matter. He'll have to know how close we came.
|
Keyser Sate or not, if Keaton's alive he'll never come up again.
|
I'11 find him.
|
Waste of time.
|
A rumor is not a rumor that doesn't die.
|
What?
|
Nothing. Something I forget it.
|
We're on vacation.
|
I've got a ton of work and no good people.
|
Take your time. Enjoy L.A.
|
A friend of mine in New York tells me you knew Spook Hollis.
|
I hear you did time with old Spook. Yeah, he was a good egg. I used to run a lot of dope for him. Fuckin' shame he got shivved.
|
I shivved him.
|
Better you hear it from me now than somebody else later.
|
Business or personal?
|
A little of both.
|
Ain't it a crime? Call if you're interested.
|
Get a grip. I didn't know.
|
You didn't know.
|
The job got thrown to me by this lawyer.
|
Who is he?
|
Some Limey. He's a middleman for somebody. He doesn't say and I don't ask.
|
We want to meet him.
