I always loved that movie (and book, Six Days of the Condor), but I also always hated the stupidity of Redford's finger prints being left all over the damned radio, LOL.
@Terry5135 I stand by my comments: Joubert KNEW Turner was going to be there, he references that when he tells him that the move was "predictable". I'm skeptical due to the fact that the "predictable" move would be to get away from the assasin, not to find out who put out the contract. Turner is Atwood's loose end, not Higgins. Only when Atwood is terminated, does Turner now become the final loose end and thus Joubert's advice to Turner. Think it through.
@DAngelo136 These points your making that reveal you saw the movie (!) are irrelevant. Turner went in wearing gloves; furthermore, Joubert asked him if he touched anything and wiped down himself. The point is, movies are not perfect - movie makers make errors. It resulted in a loose end. If the police accept that it's a suicide, fine, even if they do take fingerprints. But if there's suspicion of homicide and if the wife heard voices, there's trouble. Your rationale bails out the film makers.
@Terry5135 Then your original statement< "I always loved that movie (and book, Six Days of the Condor), but I also always hated the stupidity of Redford's finger prints being left all over the damned radio, LOL" .
is inane because as you just said: "movies are not perfect - movie makers make errors. " So YOU point out their error and I point out the error in your thinking. You're welcome.

"What is this?" really Atwood? The song is "I've Got You Where I Want You" and he has a gun. What do you think this is?
Also did anyone notice that Condor's ambush here mirrors Joubert's execution of the think tank in the beginning. They both get their last target's attention with loud noise and then watch in horror (Condor) or disgust (Joubert) as they are killed by someone else. I think that's interesting.
So Atwood was just this 55yr old man who lived in that huge house by himself, no family?
Also, you have to wonder why Condor didn't kill Jobert when he got his gun back. They both knew that Jobert was the one who killed Condor's friends and colleagues, including Condor's girlfriend. Yet Jobert just hands him the gun like it's nothing.
God i miss movies that actually took their time to tell the story and not treat the audience like some short attention span idiot. This is the last of the true Golden Age of Hollywood. One of my favorite films because it gets you mentally involved not just a passive participant like so much of the utter drivel that is made these days. Scenes that matter and have impact. When Joubert shows up here it is truly stunning. Max terrified me in that role, so cool and intelligent. A total classic
@roquefortfiles you hit the nail on the head roque...... maybe not the last and some newer films are quite good, but many are crapola with CGI and misplaced foley effects, ect... though today you'd see his brains blow out .... Yes, Joubert is one of most terrifying roles .... the hit was also one of the most chilling scenes ever.. ( the most being the ending of both " On the Beach" movies)
From the novel "Six Days of the Condor" (1974) by James Grady, another terrific picture by the late Sidney Pollack. As with "Network" (1976), this too is a forward-looking, indeed prescient, film. Faye Dunaway gives outstanding performances in both pictures.
All these years later, still a great scene, still a great movie...

@DAngelo136 I think you've forgotten the scene. Max Von Sydow was there too. The second to last scene in the movie.
But it was a minor quibble. As I said, I liked that movie AND the novel which it was based on.

the dialogue between joubert and condor is especially brilliant when you consider that this is the guy who probably slaughtered condors friends.
