Part 5 - My movie book -with pics - corporate schemes

 

EXT. SHANDLER'S SIDEWALK CAFE - DAY The sidewalk is busy with pedestrian traffic, Harry and Matias meet at a sidewalk cafe.
HARRY HISPANIC (LATE-50'S)  I just can't understand why you keep choosing these run  down places to meet. MATIAS  It's easy Dad. No one will remember two men having a drink here. As a result, we can hide in plain sight. HARRY  Did you find the flash drive John has been asking about? MATIAS (HISPANIC LATE-20'S) This woman only used her computer for personal stuff. She had nothing to do with the machine plans. She was as straight as an arrow.
HARRY Did you make sure her computer would  be inaccessible? MATIAS  Yeah, I installed a virus on her computer before  the crash. Nothing will be retrievable from  her laptop. She seemed nice, It’s just a  pity someone wanted her dead? HARRY  Her brother wanted her  seat at the table. MATIAS  She was old. Couldn't  he, just have asked? HARRY  It's never that easy. MATIAS  I know what you mean. HARRY Have you ever thought of retiring  from this line of work? MATIAS  I can't! HARRY  And I know why. That's the reason  son, I regret ever having gotten you  involved.
Matias shakes his head in annoyance
MATIAS Look, the milk has already been spilt, and there is no need in crying over it now. Besides, I'm making a good living shouldn't  a father be proud of a son for that? HARRY  I am proud, it's just that I wish  I had made another way.
MATIAS  This is the hand I've been dealt, and I'm  making the most of it. HARRY  Don't give up on your old man yet,I think  I have found a way to get you, me and  Santiago out of this mess that I got us in. MATIAS What is it now? Please don't get my name  or Santiago's name mixed up in any of your  Yankee Doodle Schemes. I'm already sunk,  but Santiago has a chance at a good life. HARRY No! This time is different. I  am sure it will work. MATIAS  Different or not, do not get my  name, but more importantly Santiago's name  mixed in this scheme of yours. I do not  want to spoil it for him. Understood?
Matias pauses for a moment as he looks his dad square in the eyes to ensure that he is understood. Harry shamefully nods his head in understanding.
MATIAS  I think our conversation has expired,  can I have my package now?  HARRY  Why don't you have this wired like  a civilized person?
Harry reaches under the table for the duffel bag that he had placed at his feet and uses his foot to slide it to Matias.  Matias discretely opens it and glances inside. It is loaded with stacks of hundred-dollar bills. He closes the bag, takes one more sip of his beverage and gets up from the table.
MATIAS  Cash does not leave a trail. Besides, I  get to see your ugly face. HARRY  Aren't you going to finish your drink before  you leave? It's bad manners to leave your cup  full. Haven't I taught you nothing?
Matias looks at Harry and then finishes his drink while standing. Matias then puts the duffel bag over his shoulder and pushes in his chair.  He reaches into his pocket and places a tip under his glass. Harry watches him leave, and then gets up and walks away. Neither man look back.
