AHayes/Danforth sneaks back into the house and beats Drake with a golf club then goes after Patty who is in the process of making repairs to the apartment he gutted before moving out. Holding a nail gun to her face, he accuses her of getting into his 'private space' when she tracked him down at the Marriott Hotel in Century City and went through his room. Hearing Patty's cries, Drake makes his way downstairs and into the crawl space under the apartment where he can look up through a hole in the floor in order to see what is happening. When Danforth's leg gets near the hole, Drake grabs it, knocking Danforth off-balance. Patty pushes him, and he falls to the floor, impaling himself through the back on two projecting pipes. Unable to get up, Danforth dies. In the final scene some months later, Patty and Drake are showing the newly-repaired house to a couple interested in buying it. The woman asks Patty why they're selling it, since she really seems to have put her heart into the property. 'No,' Patty replies, 'it was just an investment.' As Patty and Drake go upstairs to pack, the prospective buyers discuss how they can afford the $900,000 to purchase the house.
QWhat is 'Pacific Heights' about?
ADrake Goodman (Matthew Modine) and his girlfriend Patty Palmer (Melanie Griffith) purchase a 19th century house in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco as an investment because it has potential as a rental property. They are able to rent out one of the two downstairs apartments to the Watanabees --Toshio (Mako) and Mira (Nobu McCarthy). While Patty is waiting for the potential renter of the second unit to return his credit references, Drake interviews another potential renter, Carter Hayes (Michael Keaton). Carter smoothly wheedles his way around the provision of credit references but promises to put up payment for the first six months, which he agrees to wire transfer. While Drake is waiting for the wire transfer, Carter moves into the apartment in the middle of the night. The wire transfer never comes through, and Drake and Patty are stuck with trying to evict him. The landlords' nightmare now begins.
