To give you this.

letter and pulls out photographs of George lifting incredibly
heavy things.
GEORGE
What do you want from me?
STALKER
There's someone who owes us money. And
you're gonna get it for us. Go to this
address and get the money... you'll
figure it out. Come back here at

Or else what? No way I'm giving you
money. I don't even know you.

GEORGE
Give me you're money now. I don't want
to hurt you.

Damnit he's getting away!
George climbs over the wall and hides. The policeman pauses
on the other side of the wall to George and continues

me.

I don't even know his name. He has
dirt on me too. So, I couldn't tell
you his name even if I wanted to.
