Turturro's character, Heinz, has just been released from prison, is out to stalk Linda, Foster's character. Robbins's character, Harry, had protected Linda the last time Heinz tried to rape and murder her, before he had gone to jail. He has now become a Buddhist and a pacifist, making protecting Linda again a difficult task. Heinz calls Linda, and tells her to meet him in a park at midnight. She reluctanly agrees, knowing that he may become dangerous if she doesn't comply. When arriving at the pool, she finds a board to use for protection and hides it. Heinz shows her a present he got for her: two penguins he stole from the Bronx zoo. She tells him that he has to return them because penguins need special food. Heinz becomes outraged, thinking that she was rejecting his gift, and kills one of the penguins.
The movie ends with Heinz taking an unconscous Linda to a rooftop, where police secure the building. A sharpshooter is able to kill him but doesn't because it would have endangered Linda's life. Heinz was killed by a mysterious arrow to his back.
