huh?

Paint other
people’s houses white?

- I don’t know.
- you don’t know?

Hell, you’re
a young man.

You should be following
your dream or something.

Don’t you have a dream?

You know, some kind
of stupid fantasy?

You mean at the movies
or something,

Like being
a private eye?

Who said anything
about a private eye?

The car chases, the shootouts,
the beautiful women?

Hey, you don’t need
a be a private eye
to get some pussy.

- I thought we were talking
about stupid fantasies.
- not that fucking stupid.

- Hey, man.
- thanks so much, dude.

I don’t know what
i’d do without you.

You’d walk.
when you gonna get
another car, huh?

- I don’t know.
- this is l.a., man.
you need a car.

Can you give me
your phone number?

That way something comes up,
i can give you a call.

Yeah, i’d love--
that’d be great.

I don’t--
i don’t have a pen.

Do you have a pen?

Fresh outta
business cards, huh?

Yeah.

( Phone ringing within )

( Ringing continues )

- Hello.
- duke: sean? sean crawley?

- Yeah, who’s this?
- this is duke. how’s
it goin’?

Fine, i guess.

Yeah, listen,
i think i might have
something for you.

- So what’s this all about?
- the boss needs something
done.

- Mr. crawley.
- how you doing?

- Ray matthews.
play golf?
- no.

That’s a shame.
great game, golf.

I don’t get out here
enough.

Oh, no.
i’ll just watch
if it’s all the same.

What are you talking about?
you’re on a golf course,
you gotta play.

Nice shot.
grab that bag, will you?

So you describe
your philosophy

On life as taking care
of number one, no?

Stupid not to.

There you go. these days
and times you gotta do

Exactly what you gotta do
just to survive, right?

That’s right.

And if along
the way you had to...

Bend the rules
a little?

I think i know what you’re
talking about, mr. matthews.

What i’m talking about is what’s
right and what’s wrong.

Now, i’m not
suggesting that we...

Want to do anything
that’s illegal.

But,
you know, if, uh...

You get involved
in something that was...

Anti-sociable.
duke, what’s the term
i’m looking for?

Ah...

Immoral?

Exactly.
immoral.

So, uh...

What would your feelings
be on issues of...

You know, things that are
immoral, crawley?

Well, i suppose it’s up to us
to sort it out for ourselves,
i guess.

- Nicely put.
- very nicely put.

Mm-hmm.

So what do you want me
to do exactly?

Duke:
we need somebody watched.

His name’s eric gatley.
he’s an accountant
at city hall.

And you want me
to follow him?

I want you
in this guys jock,

Morning, noon,
and night, okay?

I want you to get to know
him inside and out.

If this guy takes
a fucking piss,

I wanna know what color.

- ( Alarm rings )
- ( grunts )

- ( Clangs )
- oh, shit.

Shit! shit!

( Car honks )

- Oh, shit.
- watch where
you’re going!

( Clock ringing )

- ( Alarm rings )
- oh!

( Horn blares )

( Coughing )

( Car honks )

( Kisses )

Woman:

Hey.

Eric:

Eric: bye-bye.

Excuse me.

I’ll see you inside.

- Eric: miss park?
- woman: yes, hello.

- Eric: hi, how are you?
- woman: fine, thank you.

- Eric gatley.
- good to meet you.

Eric: listen, thank you
very much for taking the time
to come out here.

Ms. park:
i appreciate your call.

So, understand i can’t leave you
with any of these materials
just yet

And i’m speaking
for background only.

Okay, i understand.
let’s see.

Here we have the original,
this is the ’97 estimates...

Sean: yeah, it was that chinese
chick from the 11:00 news.

- Duke: you sure it was her?
- yeah, positive. gatley
had this file.

Sean:
he was showing her stuff.
papers and shit.

Duke: jesus.
jesus fucking christ.

All right,
i’ll tell matthews.

You stay on the job, okay?
it’s more important now
than ever.

- Hey sean, you didn’t
do so bad, huh?
- thank you.

Yeah, you may not
be a professional,
but you did a nice job.

Hey, crawley,

Nice fucking
neighborhood you live in.

You know how long i’ve been
fucking sitting here
waiting for you?

About that long.
( laughs )

Don’t fucking stare at me,
get in.

You know you--

You’ve been really good
for me, crawley.

Well, i get
the job done.

Let me tell you
a little story.

Once upon a time there
was this girl-- samantha.

She was, uh--

She was my secretary.

She was 18 years old.

She looked like she was 13,
you know what i mean?

( Laughs )
yeah.

I was, uh--

I was head over heels
in love with this girl.

I mean stupid, you know?

Like some teenage pussy.

( Laughs )

I’d a done anything
for this girl.

But it wasn’t-- it really
wasn’t all that easy.

I mean, samantha lived
with her family and--

And i was--
fuck, i was married.

Anyway, i had
this guy i worked with,

He had an apartment
that was close by
the office.

So i worked something out
with him where he would
give me the keys,

He’d disappear
for a little while
and i could

Go up there
with samantha.

The first time
i ever take her up there--

And i tell you what,
i wanted this pussy bad--

We get in there and the guy’s
got a little fucking dog.

Right away,
she grabs the dog,

And i’m going,
"samantha, leave the dog.
let’s go back here."

I get her in
the fucking bedroom.

Things are, you know,
they’re leaning towards,

Where i wanna go,
you know?

Suddenly the dog starts
scratchin’ at the door.

( Whimpering )

She’s looking at the door
and she’s laughing, you know?

Paying more attention
to the fucking dog than me.
"sam, sam, excuse me a minute."

I walk out the door
and i boot this fucking dog
right across the room,

Like a fucking field goal.

It shuts him right up,
i get in the fucking room,

And the next thing you know,
i got the blouse is coming open
and it’s all good.

And i know that
fucking clam is shaved.

You know what i mean?
i gotta see it.

And the fucking dog starts
scratching at the door again,

Yelping-- and now she’s looking
at the fucking door and she’s
losing--

She’s losing her concentration.
she isn’t in the fucking moment
anymore.

"Excuse me, sam."
i walk out the fucking door

And i grab
the fucking dog,

And i snap it’s
fucking neck like a twig.

I take the fucking little
cocksucker and i throw him
down the laundry shoot.

And i go back
in the room...

It turns out little ol’
sammy fucks like a bunny.

( Chuckles )

There’s a point
to the story, crawl.

Sometimes you gotta be
a little bit ruthless.

Something gets in your way,
you eliminate it.

You know
what i mean?

So the question
really is...

How far are you willing
to go, crawl?

( Dog barking )

To get rid
of a barking dog?

Well, i mean...

( Clears throat )

The conditions would
have to be right.

What would these
conditions be?

Okay, um...

Well, one--
there would have to be

No possible way of my getting
caught or even suspected.

That’s a given.

Right.

And then, i’d have to be sure
i was physically safe.

You know, i wouldn’t want
to put myself in danger from

The victim or anyone else
who might be around, so i--

I’d have to be in a guaranteed
superior position.

You mean stronger?

Yeah, i mean one way
or another, with better
weapons or surprise or whatever.

Makes sense.

Okay. four--

Whoa, what happened
to three?

- We just did three.
- what was it?

It doesn’t matter.
fine, this is three then.

Which is--
it’s actually part of two.

Anyway, it’s--

I’d have to be 100% sure
that i could pull it off.

- You shoot the fucking guy.
- no, no, no. you see,
i can’t--

That doesn’t-- that comes back
to the point-- to number--

The point about safety.
where it can’t be a weapon
that could ever be traced.

- That’s-- that’s
good thinking.
- yeah.

Okay...
what number are we at?

Who the fuck knows?
you lost me back at three!

You know what?
it doesn’t matter.

Five then, point five--

A reason.

I’d need a reason
why i was gonna do it.

Such as?

Such as a...
reward.

Reward?

Yeah,
you know...

If there was a big enough
reward for doing it.

How’s five grand sound?

Sounds like nothing.

15 has
a better ring to it.

10.

13.

How’s 13 grand sound?

That’s my lucky number.

I’m sorry.

( Doorbell rings )

Don’t answer the door.

Don’t answer the door,
you fucker.

Don’t be stupid
all your life.

Hi, mr. gatley.

Is susan home?

No, she took
our daughter to ballet.

Oh, shoot,
i thought she’d be here
on a saturday.

Yeah, no, i’m sorry.

- I’m from the midnight mission.
can i leave a message?
- oh.

Sure.

I don’t have a pen
and paper.

Uh... oh,

Yeah, hang on, sorry.
i’m in the garden,
i’ll just...

Thank you.

Eric:
okay, let’s see...

This place
is such a mess.

( Rustling )

Oh.

Yeah, you know what?
that’s actually kind
of somewhat valuable.

I’d rather that you didn’t
handle that. thank you.

What are you doing?

( Mumbling )

Shh.
just be quiet, man.

Don’t worry.

Just lie down.

Just lie down.

Where’s your hat?

Go to sleep.

( Mumbling continues )

Bye, mr. gatley.

I’ll call
later this week.

( Honking )

Fucking asshole!

I’m sorry!

( Crashing )

Sean:
come on, duke.

Come on, you fat fuck!
answer the phone!

Answer the fucking phone!

Ms. park:
eric gatley’s wife,
susan, has no idea

Why her
husband was murdered.

Police have no new
leads in the case, but...

I could reveal exclusively
that i spoke

To the murdered city hall
accountant just days before
he was killed.

Eric gatley had been
investigating corruption
in city hall...

Shit, guy wears a hat
like that deserves to die.

...He had been looking
into the activities
of this man,

Local building contractor,
ray matthews.

It’s your shot.
sean, it’s your turn.

- ...The work
of a professional hit man d
- yeah...

...Made to look like
a casual robbery gone wrong.

I’m sorry,
i gotta go, george.

What?

We’re in the middle
of a game here-- sean!

( Phone ringing )

- Hello.
- duke: sean.

Duke! oh,
for christ’s sakes!

- Look, where--
- shut up and listen!

Tomorrow morning.
the zoo. first thing.

You got
some talking to do.

Me?! i’ve got some
talking to do?!

- ( Dial tone )
- duke! duke!

( Trolley bell ringing )

( Animal moaning )

What’s going on here, duke?
what are we doing
at the zoo?

You know anybody
that ever goes to the zoo?

- No.
- no, well, me neither.

This way no one
will recognize us.

Besides...

I kinda like it.
it’s nice.

- So you got my money?
- what fucking money?

- Matthews owes me.
- oh, fuck.

Come on, will ya?

Sean, you know what people do
when the go to the zoo?

What?

They try to figure out
what animals their friends
look like.

Duke. duke!

You never played
this game before?

Of course, usually, it’s
monkeys, i’ll grant you that,
but i think we can do better.

- Duke--
- and no fair
are the obvious stuff,

Like calling me a fucking
elephant or a warthog
or something.

You gotta use
the imagination.

As for you...

Clearly we have to go
to the reptile house.

Duke!

Duke: yeah, there’s a bit
of a lizard about you,
you know?

A little bit slimy,

Watchful, waiting.

- A little bit of camouflage.
- quit fucking around, duke!

( Laughing )

- What’s so fucking funny?
- you are! you’re fucking
hilarious.

You come on the big
tough detective.

You think you got it
all figured out,

But you’re fucking pitiful.
why do you think we hired
you in the first place?

I don’t know,
because if anything happened
i can’t be connected to you.

Yeah, and...?

And i guess, because
you thought i’d be good at it.

You? what good are you
at following people?

Figuring things out?

You’re a clueless little turd
who’s about a good a detective

As i am a fucking ballerina.

You don’t even have a car,
for christ’s sakes!

No, you’re useless.
that’s why we hired you,
because you’re useless.

Why? fuck it,
duke, why?

We wanted to rattle the guy,
shake him up.

He’d had his dick out
for so long we wanted to know

If he was going
to fuck or fuck up.

So, i think of you.
you’ll follow the guy.

He’s gonna see you,
maybe get all shook up,

Freak out.
then he makes a move
and we haven’t touched him.

And then you go
and kill the guy?

- That was your plan.
- oh, no, that was never
my plan.

That was
ray’s brilliant idea.

Fucking ray.

Duke: the only way for you
to be completely safe
is to disappear.

Sean: i did a job
and i want to be paid.

Why would anybody give you
13 grand to do anything?

But i did it,
and i want my money,

And i’m not leaving town
until i get it.

And if i have to make it
difficult for you, i--

( Choking )

You’re nothing. you’re
a worthless piece of shit

Who got involved in something
you should have left alone.

You don’t tell me
to do anything!

All right, you’re gonna
get no more money,

And you will disappear,
you understand?

I don’t want to ever
see you again.

And if i do...

I’ll can kill you.

I can kill you and i wouldn’t
even break into a sweat.

I could just crush you
and then it would be over.

Like you said, nothing
could tie us to you.

So go away now.
go.

( Coughing )

Oh, look.
i think i found you.

Yeah, there you are.

Look, sean.
look, look, i found you.

I found you, right there!

You’re an insect.
a fucking ant.

Look, that one there--
he looks just like you.

- Thank you.
- mm-hmm.

( Dogs barking )

Hey.

You okay?
you sounded pretty
pissed off on the phone.

Yeah, i know.

Well, what’s up?

You know those guys
i told you about?

Yeah, the ones
who won’t pay you?

Yeah, well...

It’s getting pretty scary,
actually.

They’re trying to frighten
me off, make me leave town.

If i were you,
i’d just do what they say.

They owe me, george.

Yeah, but these guys
get pretty serious.

I’d just do what they want,
get out of town.

You know, there’s
nothing keeping you here.

No, i’m not leaving.

I need you to do
something for me.

What?

I need you
to keep this for me.

- I don’t think so--
- it’s just contracts and shit.

It’s just proof i did the work.
just keep it till i figure out
what i’m going to do.

- I don’t know, man.
- george, they don’t know you.

All right?
keep it safe.

- Sean.
- shit.

Where did you go?
hey!

Get back here!
hey, come on now!

What are you--
don’t make me run after you!

Sorry, george.

Come on, now.

Wow!

Ow!

Shit!

- He’s clean.
- carl, let’s go.

Sean:
what the fuck, duke?
what do you want?

Duke: i told you,
i want you to fuck off.
why are you still here?

All right, look,
i got something for you.

- What’s that?
- train ticket to chicago.

There is a guy
who’s gonna meet you
at the station, all right?

- He’ll have your money.
- chicago?!

- We want you outta here.
- how do i know the guy’ll
be there?

- How can i trust you?
- you don’t have a choice.

( Train horn blaring )

So long.

- I’ve got his file, duke.
- huh?

Gatley’s file.
all the evidence he was
compiling against matthews.

I’ve got it.

Yeah, it’s evidence
of a different kind now.

Some personal notes
of my own in it.

In fact, i think you’re name
is mentioned once or twice.

What are you saying?

Come on, duke.
you’ve seen enough movies,
you know the line.

Anything happens to me
and that file shows up.

Where’s the file, sean?

Let’s forget about this
whole chicago thing, huh?
what do you say?

We both know there’s
no guy in chicago.

Take me back to town.

- ( Laughing )
- stay down!

- Carl: what’s up? uh?
- give me the fucking phone.

Kid’s got a file on gatley.

I want you to tell
matthews--

Tell him to send someone
around to his apartment,
all right?

Search the place.

Where is the file,
sean?

What if i don’t
tell you?

What are you
gonna do, kill me?
i don’t think so.

- ( Clangs )
- oh!

So...

You’re just gonna
beat me up, huh?

Where is the file?

My lips are sealed.

So, if you’re gonna beat me up
later, you might as well
beat me up now.

- Yeah, you’d like that, huh?
- come on, do it.

Do it now,
it’s all the same to me.

You don’t care
if i beat you up, huh?

I’ll still be alive,

So it doesn’t scare me.

Shit, you could spend the rest
of the year just beating
the shit out of me,

And at the end of it,
i’ll still be alive,

And you still wouldn’t know
where the file is.

So you see, unless
you’re gonna kill me...

I can deal with it.

How about i cut
your balls off?

Well, i’m sure a person
can get used to it.

You would know.

- What did he say?
- he wants us to go to his
place out in the desert.

- The fucking ranch?
- hey, that’s what he said.

- Oh, fuck that.
- if that’s what
the man says...

Carl, put on some music.

It’s gonna be
a long fucking day.

- ♪ What’s up? ♪ his

Duke:
all right.

What are you
gonna do to me, duke?

No balls, huh?

I’m gonna catch you later
though, sean.

( Laughing )

( Grunting )

Mr. crawley.
sleep well?

How’d you like
our little hotel?

I need to piss.

We’ll get to that
in a few minutes.
sit down.

You know, it’s
a beautiful day out.

On a day like today,

I should be
playing golf.

Great game, golf.
you know?

Helps you think.

Is that right?

Yeah, that’s right.

Tie him up.

Duke here is
very proficient with knots.
aren’t you, duke?

Used to be in the boy scouts,
mr. matthews.

Ow.

Where’s the file,
sean?

Come on, you know
i’m not going to tell you.

You know what i’d like, sean?
i’d like for you to vanish.

Vanish off the face
of the earth, that’s
what i’d like.

But you hired me.
i did exactly what
you told me to do.

What are you talking about,
i was drunk.

( All laugh )

You shouldn’t listen to me.

- This is crazy.
- yeah, tell me about it.

See, i got a problem here.
i’m in a lot of shit. cops
are getting real close to me.

Well, i’m the last person
who’s gonna go to the cops.
can’t you see that?

Sooner or later the cops
are going to come to you.

Okay?
but without you around,

They can’t prove a thing.

Don’t you think killing me is
gonna make things a little
more complicated?

I mean, for one thing
if i die that file comes to--

Whoa, whoa. killing ya?
who said anything about
killing you, boys?

No one’s gonna kill you,
sean.

See you, my friend, are
the only killer in this room.
my hands are clean.

And i would like
to keep it that way.

Give the man a drink.

- ( Gagging )
- his nose, you moron.

- Sean: no.
- duke: come here.

- ( Gagging )
- more, more, more, more.

- ( Wretching )
- duke: oh, jesus.

- Filthy animal!
- ( wretching continues )

Carl, get some water
and clean him up, will you?

( Coughing )

You gotta be careful
with whiskey, crawley.

Deadens the pain,
but fucks the brain.

See, what i really
need you to do is disappear.

You know, poof, gone,
nobody, nothin’.

Then i had an idea.

You really don’t need
to kill a guy to make
him disappear, right?

( Screaming )

Let me tell you
a little story.

There was a guy who
used to work for me,
dino scarbor.

- Remember dino, duke?
- yeah, poor bastard.

Now, listen. great guy,
good looking, sharp dresser.

Could kill the ladies, i mean,
just a joy to have around.

Yeah, could talk the panties
off a nun, couldn’t he?

( All laugh )

So i got dino
on this construction site,
we’re working together.

A crane with a big, big block
of cement comes over

And whacks dino right
in the side of the head.

Didn’t kill him,
trust me he wished it had.

- We don’t
call him dino no more.
- we call him dumbo.

- ( Laughs )
- guy’s a vegetable, can’t
understand a word he’s saying.

Believe me, i don’t think
he can understand most of it.

He just sits there
staring at the wall.

( Mumbling )

It’s pitiful.
drooling all over himself.

You know it’s really,
really, scary

What a single blow
to the head can do.

Really scary.

You know, it feels like
about a three wood.

I think i got
the wrong club.

Come on, matthews.
you’re not serious,
are you?

You know...

Maybe you hid the file
someplace, maybe you didn’t.

The way i figure it,
i can make you forget
where you put it.

I can make you forget
everything.

- The stupidest
thing i ever heard.
- come on, crawley.

Who’s gonna pay any
attention to a shuffling

Juiced up head case
like yourself, huh?

You can’t just make somebody
a vegetable, you can’t.

Oh, no?

- Tell that to dumbo.
- ( all laugh )

Hey, carl.
don’t want to
leave any marks,

So cut off a piece
of that mattress,
wrap it around his head.

Matthews...

Ray:
sean crawley
on the outside.

Dumbo dino on the inside.

It’s gonna be fun.

No.

( Grunts )

Let’s go.

Alrighty, i’m figuring
right about there.

You ready, crawl?
ho-ho!

Okay.

( Bones crack )

Step back, boys.

You ready?

Measure it
right there.

- Ray: whoa! par five. .
- ( sean weeping )

Long, ho!

Four!

( Distorted )
yeah, he’s coming around.

What do you think?

Man, he’s pissed
all over himself.

You okay?
hey.

He don’t look so good.

( Distorting voice )
you look really fucked up.

( All laugh )

I’ve never been

I’m confused,

It’s like dogs i understand,
but people...

They’re just ants, george.

Back there...

I realized
what my part is.

I finally know now
what i was always
meant to be.

What?

I’m an exterminator.

( Laughing )

What the fuck?!

it’s not a fucking joke.

All right?
you killed a guy.

- Two guys.
- why?!

Help me understand why?
i mean, gatley?

Why?

I don’t know,
it just happened.

It was his hat.
you said it yourself, man.

He just looked so fucking
dumb in that hat.

You killed him
’cause of a hat?
a fuckin’ hat?

I killed him
because i wanted to.

Fuck!
jesus christ, man!

I risked my life
for you!

And you’re talking about
fucking ants!

What the fuck, man!

or insane.

George, i’m the same guy

Get the fuck--
get out of my fucking van.

- George.

George, no.

George!

No.

Sit down a minute.

My god!
what happened to you?

- The cops.
- cops did this to you?

Don’t let them
take me, okay?

- We gotta get you
to a hospital. gary!
- no! don’t!

Not the hospital.
that’s how the cops--

Please don’t take me
to the hospital.

- They’ll get me.
- you need help. gary!

I knew you’d come.

I knew you’d come.

Woman on the floor!

Let’s get him
over here, okay?

All right.
let me take that.

Go down slow.
slow.

- Easy.
- okay.

Ow! ow!

Okay, i’ll get
him some clothes
while you can check him.

What’s your name?

James bond.

James bond, huh?

Todd, james todd.

Well, james,
why don’t you give me this?

No!

Okay, you can keep it.
just put it down, all right?

I need to examine you.
put it down.

Tell me where it hurts.

( Groaning )

- No, no!
- all right.

- Sean: no! ou.

Stop it! stop it!

James, it’s okay,
i’m here!

Look at me.
i’m here!

It’s okay.

- I’m sorry.
- go back to sleep.

- I’m sorry.
- it’s okay.

Bad dreams, huh?

Yeah, i know.

I know what that’s like.

Tell me about it.

What?

What happened to you,
susan?

My husband, eric--

He was recently
murdered.

What happened?

He was an accountant

At city hall, and...

He was investigating
a construction company.

I guess the company didn’t
like what he discovered and....

They put a hit
out on him.

You’re doing really well.
you’re a survivor.

I hardly recognize you from
the guy we brought in three
of four weeks ago.

Couldn’t have done it
without you.

Well, it’s been really
good for me too,

Being given
the chance to...

- ( Sean grunts )
- james, you all right?

No, i’m fine.
i just--

Just the mother
of all headaches.
it’s okay.

It’s all right.
it’ll go away.

Like pain always does.

So, james...

You can’t stay
in the shelter
for much longer.

It’s really only meant
for temporary accommodation.

We need the bed.

So, do you have
somewhere to go

Or will you just go
back on the streets?

No, no,
i have somewhere to go.

Come on,
you can’t stay here.

( Police siren blares )

...It’s just that you
don’t know anything
about him.

I mean, who is he?

- Hey.
- hey.

- It’ll be all right.
- be careful.

- Man: hey, baby,
where you going?
- see you tomorrow.

This is it.

Oh.

We, uh--
we eat in here.

Okay, i’ll show you
the bedrooms.

And this will be your room,
while you’re here.

- ( Car horn honks ) aby,
- that’s caitlin. i’ll
let you get yourself sorted.

- Okay. thank you.
- okay.

Susan:
you’re the best, mo.

- Hey, baby. thank you.
- ( car engine starts )

( Playful growl )

Caitlin, this is james,
who i told you about.

- Hello, james.
- hey.

Well, thanks for letting me
stay at your house.

That’s okay.

People shouldn’t be alone.

You know, they go crazy.

And then they start to do
stupid things.

They forget how the rest
of the world lives.

It’s not healthy.

I don’t know what i’m saying.
it’s just...

Being in this room,

Where it all--

There’s just lots
of things to remind me.

You got a new fridge.

What?

I mean,
that can’t be the one.

No, i had to get rid
of that.

I had to get rid
of a lot of stuff.

- ( Phone ringing ) t rid
- excuse me.

Hello? hi, gary.

Yeah,
everything’s fine.

Tomorrow, um...

I guess so.

Yeah, just gonna
need the address.

Hang on, let me find
some paper.

Go ahead.

All right, good night.

You’re very efficient.

I didn’t even know
there was paper in there.

To the both of us.

I feel like i’ve died
and gone to heaven.

Mommy, i woke up.

Oh, sweetie.

You want a story,
huh?

Careful. okay.

Is this any good
to you?

It’s eric’s.

It was eric’s.

No, no.
you can’t beat me!

- You can’t!
- go catie! whoo, yeah!

Look ma, no ha-- i--

- Oh.
- are you okay?

Yep, i’m
indestructible.

I won! i won, mommy!
i won! yes!

Both: yeah!

You sure you have
everything?

- Don’t worry, mommy.
- you’re gonna call me,
right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hi, everyone.

Hey, girls.

Hey.

All right,

You’ll still be here
when i get back, right?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- ( laughs )

Thanks a million,
maureen.

Behave yourself.

- Susan: okay, girls.
- maureen: buckle up.

- Susan: bye.
- sean: have fun, guys.

Sean:
but you can’t feel guilty.

- ( Weeping )
- i mean, there’s no point
in feeling guilty.

It happened.

I mean,
it just happened.

Somewhere out there
there are people
who are guilty.

But they’ll be punished.

You and me...

We just gotta move on
with things.

I know.

Talking to you--

( Sighs)
talking it all out.

We’re okay--
you and me, huh?

You remember
the other night,

When i said i’d died
and gone to heaven?

Yeah.

I wasn’t joking.

I did die back there,

And i’ve been reborn.

I mean, i am--

The person i was is dead,
and i am a new person now.

I can start over.
i can just...

Leave that
all behind me.

We don’t really know
each other, do we, james?

We know enough.

This is gonna sound
really stupid, but...

We share something.

I don’t--
i’m not really sure what,

But when i first
met you,

I felt like i already
knew you.

Something...

Why am i doing this?

It beats me.

Your scars...

They’re so sexy.

( Moaning )

- ( Screams )
- susan: it’s okay.

Oh, man!
look at this, huh?!

The sun is shining!
and the king is
back in town!

That’s right!
up and at ’em, world!

Look out, ’cause i’m gonna
do it, susan!

Yeah, i’m gonna rejoin
the human race.

- Here i go!
- go carefully.

( Laughing )

Good start.

Yeah.

One more time.

And he’s off!

What the fuck?!
don’t fucking do that, man!

What’s the matter,
ants in your pants?

Jesus christ, sean.
what the fuck are you doing?
what the fuck!

- What if they
fucking followed you, man?
- would you frickin’ relax?

Calm down. everything’s
fine, everything’s cool.
no one knows i’m here.

- Everything’s cool?
- yeah.

I can’t go home,
i can’t go to work.

I can’t do fucking shit.

I’m afraid
they might get me.

I’m gonna make
everything all right.
all right?

I’m scared, okay?

They’re not
gonna get you.

I’m scared of you,
you fucker.

Me?

I’m just an ordinary guy.

Now, i’m back
on my feet.

I just need to tie up
a few loose ends.

Some things
i gotta know.

I don’t want anything
to jeopardize what i got.

Anything? what?

Anyone. you followed
them, you found things out.
there’s shit i gotta know.

Your file?
what about the file?

Yeah, but there’s some stuff
that’s not in the file.
addresses.

Shit.

Oh, shit!
my file!

Oh, my fucking file!
you stupid fuck!

- Man #1: hey!
- man #2: whoa!

Susan?

Susan?

Are you home?

Who are you?

Susan...

Who are you?

Susan, i thought i could
make it better.

It wasn’t my fault.
i thought i could make it--

How could you do it?

- It wasn’t me.
- then who was it!

You destroyed everything!

And then you
come back here!

- Just let me talk for--
- talk?!

What could you
possibly say?!
what lies?!

There’s nothing you could say!
there’s nothing you could say!

- Susan--
- i feel sick.

My skin where you
touched me-- my lips!

No!
no, no!

It’s locked.

That door’s locked too.

All the doors
and windows are locked.

I called the police.

It’s over.

( Hysterical screaming )

Don’t make me fight you!

- I don’t want to hurt you!

Hurt me?!

( Screams )

For god’s sake, stop it!
just listen.

Where’s the key?

No! no!

- Give me the fucking key!

Susan?

( Weeping )

Carl:

Becket, it’s him!

Crawley, where the fuck

Shut up and listen.

I want it over.

I’ve got the file.

my place in the desert?

Come on--

you don’t know?

Okay. all right, i guess
i could be there in
a couple hours.

- That give you enough time?
- no problem. we’ll see
you there.

Fuckers.

Hello, duke.

I’m fixing things,
duke.

First thing i gotta do
is remove all evidence
of myself.

Like i never existed.
that’s what you wanted, right?

So, i guess we should start
with disguising that wound
on your neck, okay?

Okay.

I want the cops
sorting through this mess
till the end of time, duke.

I don’t want them
ever to find me.

( Cracks )

You know what, duke?
i’m not a professional,

But i do a nice job.

Look at her.

We could have been
happy together, me and her...

If it wasn’t for you guys.

You like barbecues,
right, duke?

( Sizzling )

Just quit your griping,
and do as you’re told.

- But this is bullshit, man.
- no! shut the fuck up

And get in the house.
it’s easy.

Motherfucker.

This is getting too weird.
wayne. motherfuck!

All right.
all right, listen,

That little fucker’s
around here somewhere.
i want him now.

Let’s finish it.

All right, carl,
you check upstairs, all right?

Becket, you check
out by the shed.

I’ll check all around
outside. hey, hey!

- No fuck ups.
- it’s too late for that, man.

All right, come on.
let’s go!

Bullshit.

Fucking hog fill.

( Floor creaks )

- Oh, shit!
- ( screams )

Ah!

Duke, jesus.

What the fuck

All right,

We’ll finish this now,

( Gargling )
oh, shit.

Shit.

Carl!

Shit, man!

( Stained voice )

He’s here!

- ( Screams )

Oh! oh, shit!

- ( Grunts )
- oh!

( Screaming )

What the fuck?!

That’s gasoline.

- ( Gunshots )
- ah!

What the fuck do you think
you’re doing, crawley?!

Cleaning up.

I was willing
to make a deal!

- Bullshit.
- you fuck.

I’ll fucking kill you!

It’s all over, ray.

Wait.
wait, wait, wait.

You shouldn’t have
fucked with me.

- Wait, this is
your fault, man!
- goodbye, ray.

Wait, wait!
( screaming )

- Help me! man!
- get real.

Oh, shit.
oh, shit.

You didn’t need
to do this.

Yes, i did.

- Where’s ray?
- dead.

Oh, shit.

That’s carl’s line.

Look, it’s finished.

It’s over.

I had nothing
to do with this.
help me, please.

My back.

Something happened
to my back, please help me.

Just help me!

Oh, god.

Oh god,
i feel so cold!

( Groaning )

Please help me.
if i stay here i’ll die.

I’ll die!

Why?

There needs
to be a reason?

I’ll tell you
what this is all about.

You ever watch ants?

- Ants?
- ants.

Saw some
at the zoo once.

Thousands of them,
just...

Eating, shitting,
fucking, dying.

Just like they always have
for millions of years.

What are you
talking about?

What are you trying
to say?

What i’m trying to say...

Is that it doesn’t matter
what any of us do.

It’s a shitty world.

Or it’s the best of all
possible worlds,

Just depends
on how you look at it.

But there’s nothing
anybody can do about it.

The ants will keep on
doing what they do

And we just keep on
doing what we do.

In a few minutes
you’ll be dead.

And there’s nothing any
of us can do about that.

I never did
anything wrong.

It doesn’t work
like that, becket.

( Heavy breathing )

Please,
i never beat you.

I looked after you,
please.

Nothing matters anymore,
becket,

’Cause you’re dead.

You-- you’re
going to kill us then?

That’s what i do.

Oh, shit.

( Gas stove hissing )

Becket: re
crawley, come back!

Help me!
help me!

Crawley!
oh, god!

Crawley!

Help me!

Crawley?

- Becket: crawley? awley!
- carl: oh, shit.

Becket:
no! no!

Becket:
no!

Oh, no!

( Screams )
