Party's over.
Now listen to me,
you little prick.
I'm going to ask you this just one
time... where's the rest of the money?
Don't fuck around,
asshole.
That's all of it.
So glad you said that. Aah! Ohh.
Now we get to play
with our toys.
No! No, please!
There's a million dollars.
Take it.
Aaaah!
Ohh! Now,
that's gotta hurt.
He... wants... time.
He don't get no time.
Now, where's the three million?
It's stashed.
Take us to it. I can't.
They'd kill us.
One hour.
One hour!
Fine.
You have one hour.
If you're not back
in one hour,
we're gonna finish
what we started.
And remember... we found you
here, we can find you again.
You are not safe
anywhere.

Hello. I'm not home
right now.
You know what to do.
Hi, it's me.
I'm coming home.
Once again you were right. Things didn't
work out the way we'd hoped down here.
They ran out of money,
and they're closing the school.
Ohh, it's so frustrating.
I've only been here six months,
but the kids are making so much progress.
Look, I'm probably
taking up all your tape.
I'll fill you in when I get there.
Okay? Bye.

thanks, darlin'.
He stands up, looks this guy
straight in the eye and says,
"because ol' Jake don't go
for that shit either."
What's up,
cat daddy?
Hopscotch.
What's happenin', buddy?
Everything.
Uh-oh.
What do you mean, "uh-oh"?
What does "uh-oh" mean? I got
somethin' good this time. Really good.
Hey, would you just listen to me?
Go ahead.
I know this guy, right. He's sorta
like a buddy. "Sorta like a buddy."
Yeah, done some shit
with him.
Seemed pretty cool, right?
Right.
So I started gettin' closer to
him, he starts to trust me.
One day he takes me into his basement and
he's got this little moneymakin' operation.
What kind of
moneymaking operation?
Moneymaking.
Making money.
Funny money.
Counterfeit.
That shit's
never any good.
What can I get you?
Yeah, let me have a cold
beer, would you, please?
Sure.
There you go.
Four dollars.
There's your change.
That's all for you, doll face.
Cream pie like yourself
deserves it.
Why, thank you.
What's your name,
big spender?
- Hopscotch.
- Hopscotch.
You like to play games,
hopscotch?
Thanks for the tip,
hop.
I'm a charming
son of a gun.
Well, a little charm and a
$46 tip goes a long way, hop.
Honey, let me see
that 50.
Here you go, Frankie.
Thanks.
The stuff's
sweet as sugar, huh?
That your thing now?
Passin' phony 50s?
I got three suitcases,
each one of 'em stuffed with a
million dollars of this stuff.
I got three million dollars.
Three?
Three
million dollars!
Where'd you get it from? I was startin'
to tell you about this guy I know.
"Sorta buddy."
This "sorta buddy"...
Wants to move this pile of
cake immediately, like now.
So I got this other guy I know
from the street, name's paco.
Done some shit with him. Same kind of
shit you done with your "sorta buddy"?
Mm-mmm. Different buddy,
different shit. Shit.
Anyway, a few days ago I breeze
one of these showgirls by paco,
same way I did you.
Told him there'd be more
if he could get me a buyer.
He finds some cats who will do a
million clean for four million dirty.
This guy you know from the street.
Yes.
Paco? Yes. Stay with me.
Here's the craziest shit of all.
While my "sorta buddy" and me are tryin' to
put together the deal with the money cats,
he starts gettin'
all fidgety.
So we hide the cake.
Then, later that night
when he's in his basement...
Makin' up the last batch
of greenie,
some strange-talkin',
sick motherfuckers dressed like bug men...
Come strollin' in.
They fuckin' put the squeeze on his
Jimmy with these bad-ass pliers,
then make off with a million
dollars of the fakies.
My "sorta buddy" goes ape-shit,
busts up all his equipment,
then calls me from this bar
cryin' about his dead dick.
Then later that night
he gets dead.
Something sharp and pointy
found its way into his belly.
Laid him open
like a bluefish on a dock,
and the next thing you know,
ol' jed's a millionaire.
So, where's the money
now?
I got it,
and I still got paco.
And his people trust you,
the money looks good?
Everything is cool,
baby.
Great.
Now what?
Now I need you.
Oh, hop.
It's always a bad ending with you.
I'm playing hardball here.
I never been
in the big leagues.
I need someone who's quick with a
stick and not afraid to swing it.
You know my hardball days
are over.
Buddy, come on. You gotta get
in touch with your inner weasel.
Well, you'd better
just hope this plan...
Is the plan to stop you
comin' up with more plans.
It is.
It is!
♪♪
Beautiful day at the
beach, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
I'm gonna see you
tonight?
You got the mil?
Yup.
Got your boy
all lined up?
8:00.
You have
directions?
I've got a map.
Ohh!
Oh, my god!
Hi!
Are you kidding me?
Would I kid you?
What are you doing here, sis?
The school closed.
I thought I'd stay with you.
Didn't you get my message? Oh, shit.
Colleen, you can't stay.
In fact, you gotta leave. Come on.
Wh... what's wrong?
I'm undercover.
Undercover?
Do you have a code name? Paco.
Remember serpico?
They called him paco. That's me.
The guys at the door are just feds.
Feds?
It's gonna be a routine
bust; We'll catch up later.
Stay in the bedroom.
Danny, be careful.
Shut up!
Nice place you got here,
Danny.
Decorate it yourself,
or did you hire somebody?
That's funny.
Get used to calling me paco, all right?
Man, I have pissed in
nicer places than this.
Let's see it.
You don't even have to count it...
It just smells like a million.
Almost looks fake,
doesn't it?
This is it?
Hey, paco.
Who's this?
- This is me brethren.
- What the hell's that mean?
That means that he is
such a good friend...
That I call him
my brother.
Why don't you have your good
friend open up the suitcases?
Is that
what you want?
You wanna see
what's inside?
- What you got?
- What you need.
Mmm.
You know what I like.
Yo, paco!
What a mess.
Hey. Grab the cake.
This party's over.
Frankie, i'm...
What'd you do, hurt yourself?
Here, take one of these.
Come on.
Ohh.
Ohh!
Danny!
Danny! No!
No.
Holy shit.
I got a hole through me.
Oh, fuck.
That hurt?
Ohhh!
Fucky fuckin' fuck.
Fuck you. Fuckin' fuck.
You're gonna live.
If you were hurt bad, you wouldn't feel
a thing. We gotta get that cleaned up.
Go to my brother's. Get a band-aid
or somethin'. Fuckin' hurts.
- You got a brother?
- Yeah. He's the original bad boy.
Just mellowed with age.
He's cool. Besides,
we ain't gonna tell him shit.
Hop. Hop.
Take it easy.
Hey.
I got ya. I got ya.
I got ya. I got ya.
Yeah...
Hold on. Hold on.
Slow down.
I can't find my fuckin' key.
Where'd you put 'em, your jacket?
No, I can't find 'em...
It's all right, hop.
I got ya. Stay with me.
Come on, come on.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
Hop, what are you doin' on my
porch in the middle of the night?
Sellin' girl scout
cookies.
Turn off
that light!
Hey, Marty,
you get your Volvo station wagon yet?
What happened to you?
Just got a little leak here.
Fight in a bar over
some pretty-ass thing.
Is he that
pretty-ass thing?
Marty, Frankie.
Frankie, Marty.
You didn't bring trouble into my
house, did you? The man's got a b.M.W.
Can I get a cotton ball
or somethin'?
Sit down and keep quiet.
The kids are asleep. My lips are sealed.
We gotta
split the money up.
Not here, man.
Listen up.
We'll stay here tonight, get patched
up, split the money tomorrow.
Take a seat.
Who made you boss?
You pulled me in on this thing
because you trust me. Remember?
Let me take care
of business.
How much does your brother
know about me?
- Your name is Frankie, and you got a hard-on
for your b.M.W. - That's all he needs to know.
- How you holdin' up?
- Okay.
All right, here we go.
Let me see that thing.
Oh, shit, man.
Aah! Aah... here, here, here, here.
Goddamn it, shut up.
Thanks, man.
Listen, Marty, uh,
you think I can crash here tonight?
What happened to that penthouse suite you
were buying after you ran that last deal?
They're renovatin'.
Puttin' in a jacuzzi.
What kind of trouble
you guys into?
Marty, we're not in any trouble.
I promise, man.
As your little brother,
I ain't lyin' to ya.
Please, man.
All right, all right.
You can take the couch.
Thanks.
All right,
I'll check on you tomorrow, hop.
Nice to meet you.
"Nice to meet you."
13-a9, no warrant
on the suspect.
What do you got
in there, Vic?
Pretty bad in there,
captain.
Anything?
Danny didn't stand a chance.
Let's keep the press out of this.
Understood.
Where's
Danny's sister?
They put her in the cruiser.
She won't talk to anyone but you.
I've known her about ten years
now, since Danny was a rookie.
Goddamn it.
13a-43, no warrant
on the suspect.
Frequency two, clear.
I'm here for you, Colleen.
Whatever you need.
I know.
Danny was one of
the finest men I knew.
You're not alone,
Colleen.
If it's any consolation, his killers
will be caught. You have my word.
I saw 'em,
captain Evans.
I saw 'em murder Danny. I know.
When you're ready, you can come
down to the station and we'll go...
I'll be there.
I'll be there tomorrow morning at 7:00.
Fine.
Now let's get you
someplace to stay tonight.
Tomorrow
we go to work.
Boo!
Real funny, asshole.
Maserati
or lamborghini?
Or how about a big ol' black,
four-door benz with polished wheels?
I want a b.M.W.,
but you already got one.
What do you think
you're doing?
Paint a big,
flashing bull's-eye around your ass?
What, you get to drive around in
an 850 and I gotta take the bus?
Hell, no.
I got my own money now.
Speakin' of that,
where is the dough-re-mi?
In a storage bin with a two-dollar
door and a ten-cent lock.
I thought
we were splittin' it.
Hop, there was a lot
of blood last night.
I think we should just kick back
awhile, let our dust settle.
- How's your side?
- Sore as shit.
What's buggin' you?
You gotta run your hands
through some of that cash.
You get that greenie stink on your
fingers, you'll feel a whole lot better.
- I know how it feels.
- Now I do too.
This is my turn,
Frankie.
This money is gonna give me the
opportunity to be legit like you.
Maybe start a business,
you know?
I-I could invest it
or something.
Right now
I don't feel very legit.
You never bothered tellin'
me you had a brother.
What did you tell him
about me?
I told him just enough so
he didn't ask any questions.
I gave him a couple bucks for
helpin' me out. He's cool.
Here's 5,000 bucks.
Get yourself some transportation.
Nothin' flashy.
Just make sure
it's got a trunk.
We gotta do somethin'
with that money.
How far down on your list of somethin'
to do with that money is spendin' it?
It's not on the list,
hop.
For now, we should
just be cool...
And lay low.
Later on we'll split up the
money, find another buyer.
But for now, we do
absolutely nothing.
You're takin' all the fun out
of bein' a millionaire, Frankie.
Trust me.
The fun'll come later.
Go get yourself
some wheels.
Fine. But I'm gettin'
one of these next week.
Come by the club
later.
Hey, take your time,
Colleen.
I might as well be looking
through time magazine here.
The odds
are probably as good.
The one who did the shooting was
different than the rest of them.
There was something
about him.
Do you remember anything specific,
anything special about the guy?
He had long blond hair and he
wore it back in a ponytail.
His eyes were cold blue...
And he had a very,
very strong presence.
Excuse me.
Colleen, I think you know
detective knapp.
He'll be in charge
of Danny's investigation.
Do you have another detective
that can work this case?
Hey. Danny was a cop.
That means he's my brother too.
The captain and I got the whole
department fired up over this.
You recognize
this guy?
Yes. This...
This is the little one.
Punk's name is hopscotch. Danny was on
to him. Don't know his real name yet.
Just a small-time hood looking
to make the score of his life.
Unfortunately for Danny,
he tried to get in the way of that.
I figure this hopscotch rat has crawled deep
inside some hole, but I'm gonna flush him out.
What about
the f.B.I. Agents?
F.b.i.? The other two
men that were killed.
Danny said they were
FBI agents.
Danny said that,
that they were feds? Yes.
What? What's wrong?
They weren't f.B.I. Agents.
Just a couple of street punks.
Anyway, captain,
these guys left a pretty clean trail.
Blondie might lead us
to hopscotch.
But it was the blond guy that killed
my brother, not this hopscotch.
Nothing's more important to you than
bringing your brother's killer to justice...
That's right.
We plan on doing just that.
We also want to
continue his investigation.
You know your brother
would want that.

Just doin' what I do.
And today you were right.
I spoke to Marty. Everything's cool
with me hanging out a few more days.
Good. You know what
I was thinkin' today?
When I was young my mama used to think
there was somethin' wrong with me,
like part of my brain
was missin' or somethin'.
Yeah? Which part?
This part right here.
And for the longest time I used
to think that missing part...
Was, like, keepin' me
from all I could be.
But I think I finally figured
out where that you got it.
That's why we make such a good team.
Your mother was right.

the smart one.
Oh, I love it
when you talk back.
It makes this part
of my job more fun.
Now,
where's my money?
Do you remember the last time you had
sex, pretty boy?
Hmm?
Because it was...
The last time.
Jesus Christ.
- Time to move.
- Why?
Your "sorta buddy's" bug boys just
tried to electrocute me. You saw them?
Saw 'em? I felt 'em. They wanted to
do a three-way with me and a taser.
Pay attention.
I need you now.
Go get your clothes. I'm movin'
you and the suitcases to a hotel.
And no girls.
Oh, Frankie...
Go. Shit, man, I hear ya.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm sorry about being short
with you the other day. Mm-hmm.
No, I mean it, Colleen.
Did you learn anything new today?
Not much.
I've got more men on this case than
any other. We're gonna catch him.
It's just
a matter of time.
So, uh,
what'd you do today?
I, uh, read a book,
like I said.
Oh. That's nice.
What book?
Um...
I-I don't remember,
because I just stared at the page.
Oh, I'm feeling a little bit lightheaded.
I'm gonna go to bed early.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
It's just a cat.
Ohhh.
I can't take it
any longer.
Don't worry.
I'm gonna be here.
For how long, Vic?
How long until you get bored and
leave and Danny's killer goes free?
Colleen,
listen to me.
A cop's been killed.
I'm a cop.
Whatever you think of me,
this is my job.
You know, I've changed a lot
in the last few years.
I wish you'd let me
prove it to you.
Hmm?
Okay.
All right.
Get some sleep.
Good morning.
Good morning.
- I made breakfast.
- Oh. What?
Blueberry pop tarts
and corn flakes.
- Mmm.
- Only problem is there's no milk.
Just needs
a little moisture.
Oh, that's...
Wonderful.
You want some?
Mmm, no, thanks.
Mmm. Corn flakes
and blueberry pop tarts.
Um...
You know, I was thinking about
those guys who were with Danny.
If they weren't with the f.B.I.,
then who do you think they were with?
I already told you,
they were a couple of street punks.
Yeah, but who do you
think they work for?
I can't discuss the case with you.
It's department policy.
It's for your own protection.
It's ridiculous.
You can't keep me in
the dark like this, Vic.
Screw department
policies, captain.
We're talking about
Danny here.
Colleen,
this isn't easy.
Look, Danny was
in this thing deep.
Maybe too deep.
Vic has
uncovered evidence...
Which suggests that
Danny had turned.
Are you saying...
That Danny
was a dirty cop?
Colleen,
look, this is only
an investigation,
but at this point we
have to follow this lead.
I still feel the same way
I always have about Danny.
Sometimes the temptation
is just too great.
I'm sorry.
You're wrong, captain Evans.
I don't care what evidence you have.
I know my brother.
He was a decorated cop.
All this time you've been trying
to figure out if Danny is guilty...
While his killer
goes free?
Try to talk to her.
Yeah.
Colleen.
Colleen!
Why didn't you tell me?
I wanted to be sure.
Are you?
Almost.
Come on. You know Danny.
You, of all people, should know who he is.
Or was.
I'm gonna find this killer and prove
something to you, Vic... that you're wrong.
You let me handle this.
Now, don't run off... don't
what, do anything stupid?
I know who the killer is
and where to find him.
Telephone, Frankie.
Hello.
You are one
dead asshole.
Oooh.
Let me guess.
No humor,
no foreplay.
You must be
the stupid one.
So let me
spell it out for ya.
I do not have
your m-o-n-e-y.
You name it.
Mm-hmm.
What makes you happy?
Ohhh!
Fuckin' Frankie.
What are you doin'?
I been guardin' this money with my life!
I wanted to get some sleep, but I didn't
want to take my eyes off these babies.
Anyone wants one of these,
they're gonna have to fuckin' kill me!
The boys in the masks,
they ain't goin' away.
Now what?
"Now what"?
Get yourself together.
We gotta move. Let's go! Come on!
You know,
you're scaring me!
I don't like to be scared.
Get in your truck!
Let's go!
What's with the shovels,
cat daddy?
We'll get my car
on the way back.
Start drivin'.
I'll explain.
Where the hell
we goin'?
When I was a kid my old man
used to knock me around a lot.
When he'd pass out I'd come out
here and shoot at targets, you know.
Bottles, cans, whatever moved.
There ain't much.
There ain't nothin'
and nobody.
It's the only place
the jerk couldn't find me.
So I figured it'd be a great
place to Bury some money.
What do you mean,
"Bury"?
Two bad boys with all sorts
of torture devices...
Think our money
is their money, remember?
Soon they're gonna get bored with their little
toys and move up to bigger and badder ones.
How much can you take,
hop?
That's what I thought.
That money has got
to be nowhere near us.
If they find it,
they'll kill us.
This is
our insurance policy...
'Til I can figure out what
and who we're dealing with.
Damn. Why aren't we
usin' your car?
It was a tough decision.
All right, careful.
It's just over that Ridge there.
I don't know if it's the sun
makin' me faint or somethin,
but I can't stop
thinkin' about...
All this fuckin' money goin'
straight into a motherfuckin' hole...
Where the coyotes or dingoes or
whatever the fuck lives out here...
Can eat it...
While
I'm sitting home...
With my sister...
On the corner
selling lemonade,
wonderin' why the hell
I ever listened to you.
Calm down.
It'll all work out.
Just think of this
as a bank.
What are you doing?
Makin' a withdrawal.
Might as well
stick me in there too.
Stop pouting, hop.
I got a plan.
I thought the last plan was
the plan to end all plans.
A better plan.
A better plan.
Hop,
no more plans.
Now pick up
a shovel.
You've changed,
Frankie west.
Oh, yeah.
I've... I've changed.
Gotten dumber.
Come on.
We're through.
You want a coke?
You just took my truck on
Mr. Toad's wild fuckin' ride...
And all you can say is,
"you want a coke?"
I'm thirsty.
Okay.

I been thinkin' about the ways to spend this money,

There's this girl I used
to see... real sweet.
She really dug me too, but I had
to keep samplin'... had to be hop.
Saw her at the store the other week.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
She still had it

It's like, I let some go and now I got
all this money, but what's it good for?
You gettin' me?
Yeah, but
what about jeaneen?
- Jeaneen's married, man.
- Thou shall not commit adultery.
Then I think to myself,
she's the one who's married,
so she's
the adulterer.
Hop, you got a point there, but you
might have a problem with the one...
"Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's wife."
He ain't my neighbor.

Anyway, I'm gonna
let jeaneen go.
Gonna find that little gal, ask her out on

You shot your own brother.
Is all that money worth it to you?
Huh?
Who you workin' for, Marty?
Answer me! Who put you up to this?
Frankie,
we can talk about this.
You got a smoke on ya...
Ohhh!
Frankie, man,
I loved my brother,
but he got caught in the
wrong scam at the wrong time.
It's all very unfortunate,
but you know it and I know it.
It just comes
with the territory, man.
Frankie, there is a... there's a
whole lot of money out there, man.
We can just...
We can just split it.
"We" is not gonna do

You are gonna tell me who your partner

I can't... no.
Ohhh! Aaah!

Now I know who you are.
It's time for us

Well, little buddy,
here we are.
Used to say you
weren't gonna make it to 30.
Well, you did.
You made it.
And a little more.
Damn it, hop.
I probably
never told you this...
You're my best friend.
I hope you know that.
I had to tell him, man.
He's kickin' the shit
out of me.
A mutual acquaintance has some
disturbing things to say about you.
It hurts, Vic.
Man, it hurts bad.
- That ought to kill the pain.
- That was dumb.
- He was a piece of shit.
- He was a piece of shit.
But he also knew
where the money was.
You'd have
killed him anyway.
So, where is it?
Out there.
You want the fast way to the money,
you probably shouldn't kill me.
Gimme the rest of the money,
keep 50 grand, I forget I ever saw you.
I'm not gonna let you enjoy
spendin' that money, pal.

Why don't you wait to blow my brains out?
It might get better.
- You murdered my brother.
- What?
- I saw you.
- Saw me?
Kill who?
Paco.
His real name was officer Danny whitley.
He was my brother!
Paco?
Paco's your brother?
Paco was a cop?
The beach house.
I was in the hallway
behind the door.
I saw you. You had his
blood all over your face.
I didn't kill
your brother.
I saw you.
I saw you with my own eyes.
No you didn't.
Because I didn't shoot him.
The guys he was with shot him.
You're lying. You'd say anything
to stop me from killing you.
You're right.
I would.
But I'm not lying.
We were going to do
a simple money transaction.
From the moment I walked in,
I knew something was wrong.
All of a sudden, one of the guys
who was with your brother...
Pulls a gun on him
and blows him away.
While the other guys
start shootin' at us.
All I was tryin' to do
was stay alive.
You got the wrong man.
His own people killed him.
I never shot anyone
who wasn't tryin' to kill me.
Now, if you still
want to shoot me,
you have to pull
that back first.
If what you say is true,
then why did those guys kill him?
I don't know.
What do you think?
I think
he was set up.
Double-crossed.
I remember the expression
on your brother's face.
He never saw it comin'
until the last second.
I'm sorry.
Nice piece o' ass, huh?
Did you screw her?
The desert
get too cold?
Hey, I'm talkin' to you, pal.
Did you screw her or not?
Did you fuck her?
I see. You're
a cool guy, huh?
Okay. Good.
What did you tell Colleen?
Oh. You know her name.
Yeah.
What you don't know is all
this girl's trying to do...
Is find out
who killed her brother.
You wouldn't have any idea
who that is, would you?
Tell you what
I'm going to do.
I'm gonna give you
$100,000.
You're gonna give me
the rest of the money.
Why would I give you
four million dollars...
For a hundred grand?
'Cause I'll fuckin' kill ya
before I let you screw this up.
Like I give a shit.
Let me get this
straight, okay?
I have a lot of money.
Yeah.
You have none.
That's right.
Not only that, I know if the money's
in the dining room or the conservatory,
and if colonel mustard is screwing
miss Scarlet while they're counting it.
You don't have a clue,
do you?
Let me ask you:
Who's winning the game,
daddy?
You're a dead man, pal.
- Where were you tonight?
- I was at a strip club.
Oh. Why?
Because I, unlike others, intend to do
something about my brother's murder.
Oh, you do, huh?
So, what did you do, Colleen? Did you
walk up, introduce yourself and say,
"hey, oh, I'm Colleen.
Did you kill my brother?"
I tried to get a job
as a dancer.
Oh, now you're
Angie fuckin' Dickinson, huh?
You're gonna get yourself killed. Danny
was in too deep, look what happened to him.
Stay out of this.
Or maybe you're falling for him.
Don't be an asshole!
He's a killer.
He said he didn't do it.
Oh, he did.
Oh, well.
Then I'll just walk down to the police
station and strike him off the suspect list.
I'm gonna say this one last time, Colleen.
Stay away from him. Got it?
Can I come in?
I think I know who arranged
for your brother's death.
The only question is:
How does he know you?
What are you talking about?
Right after you
pulled away last night...
Bad guy number two
shows up.
He wants to know
what we talked about.
And he refers
to you by name.
Dark hair, drives a blue sedan,
about my height, good-looking guy.
Vic?
So you do know this guy.
Yeah, you're describing Vic knapp.
He's the detective in charge of the case.
He's a cop?
Well, he's one dirty cop.
That's impossible.
I know him, we...
How well do ya know him?
We were lovers.
Perfect.
That can't be true. Vic's not
capable of doing something like this.
My best friend is dead
because of this Vic.
Now, how did he explain...
The guys who killed
your brother?
He said they were
street punks...
And Danny thought
they were feds.
Street punks
aren't that slick.
They were professional assassins
hired by your friend Vic to do us all.
Danny trusted them because
Vic told him they were FBI.
I searched their pockets.
They had no ids, nothing.
Just this.
It's part of a map
with a phone number.
This is
Danny's neighborhood.
It's also the main number of the
switchboard for the downtown precinct.
There's no question, Colleen.
Vic's your man.
I'm gonna get him.
I'm gonna get him!
Colleen, there's only one way to bust
this guy. We have to go over his head.
His boss, his name is Evans,
Evans, okay.
Let's call Evans in.
Colleen!
I need you to call Evans.
This is what you're gonna say.
Fifty-fifty.
Sure.
About a mile
past king's canyon.
Three o' clock.
Just by the taco stand.
Ah, detective knapp.
We were just talking about Danny's case.
Plenty o' leads, no one's talkin'.
Look, don't worry, I'm on it, all right?
I don't have to tell you how
important this case is, do I?
I want it resolved for the department
and for detective whitley's sister.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
All right, where is it?
Down there.
Down there.
Yeah.
Not a bad hike
for buried treasure.
Why don't we
leave these up here?
You know how
money changes people.
Occupational hazard.
Anything else?
That's Frankie's car.
It's just a little bit further.
Why is Frankie
turning himself in?
Because he didn't kill Danny.
And he thinks Vic's involved?
Yes. From the very beginning
it was all Vic.
Well, maybe Vic's letting Frankie lead
him to the money so he can arrest him.
Then why didn't he inform you,
his own captain?
He's out there
without backup.
He's dirty, captain.
Start diggin'.
Our partnership's gonna last
about another 20 minutes.
You're gonna
have to work your half.
Uuh!
You okay there, soldier?
What the hell is the matter with you?
Uuh. You could of killed me.
Yeah, I did put a little
too much wrist in my swing.
I think you leaned into it
at the last second, though.
I thought we had a deal.
So did I,
until I discovered this pez
dispenser strapped to your ass.
You know, this is
a funny gun for a cop.
The serial number's
ground off.
Were you going
to shoot me with it?
That's Vic's car.
You wait here.
I'm gonna go. No! You stay here.
Let me handle this.
Put a little zip in it,
will ya?
Oof!
Ooh!
- Where're you goin', Vic?
- Evans.
You're a little late, cap'n.
Our boy's just down there.
You've got
some explaining to do.
What are you doin', Vic?
You goin' into business for yourself?
- Look, captain. - No. You look.
If it hadn't been for your...
- Brainless ex-girlfriend,
you would have gotten away with it. - Vic!
Uuh! Uuuh! Uuh!
He was my best detective.
Captain Evans, I don't
know how to thank you.
One way or another, neither of us
were meant to leave the desert alive.
What happens now?
Well, the way I see it is:
These two gentlemen got into a
little dispute over some money.
Both of the greedy fellows
took a bullet.
It's not quite the o.K. Corral, but then
neither of these guys is Wyatt earp, so...
I expect it'll do.
That's more than enough
for them.

I got three million dollars.
Three?
Three
million dollars!
Where'd you get it from? I was startin'
to tell you about this guy I know.
"Sorta buddy."
This "sorta buddy"...
Wants to move this pile of
cake immediately, like now.
So I got this other guy I know
from the street, name's paco.
Done some shit with him. Same kind of
shit you done with your "sorta buddy"?
Mm-mmm. Different buddy,
different shit. Shit.
Anyway, a few days ago I breeze
one of these showgirls by paco,
same way I did you.
Told him there'd be more
if he could get me a buyer.
He finds some cats who will do a
million clean for four million dirty.
This guy you know from the street.
Yes.
Paco? Yes. Stay with me.
Here's the craziest shit of all.
While my "sorta buddy" and me are tryin' to
put together the deal with the money cats,
he starts gettin'
all fidgety.
So we hide the cake.
Then, later that night
when he's in his basement...
Makin' up the last batch
of greenie,
some strange-talkin',
sick motherfuckers dressed like bug men...
Come strollin' in.
They fuckin' put the squeeze on his
Jimmy with these bad-ass pliers,
then make off with a million
dollars of the fakies.
My "sorta buddy" goes ape-shit,
busts up all his equipment,
then calls me from this bar
cryin' about his dead dick.
Then later that night
he gets dead.
Something sharp and pointy
found its way into his belly.
Laid him open
like a bluefish on a dock,
and the next thing you know,
ol' jed's a millionaire.
So, where's the money
now?
I got it,
and I still got paco.
And his people trust you,
the money looks good?
Everything is cool,
baby.
Great.
Now what?
Now I need you.
Oh, hop.
It's always a bad ending with you.
I'm playing hardball here.
I never been
in the big leagues.
I need someone who's quick with a
stick and not afraid to swing it.
You know my hardball days
are over.
Buddy, come on. You gotta get
in touch with your inner weasel.
Well, you'd better
just hope this plan...
Is the plan to stop you
comin' up with more plans.
It is.
It is!

Beautiful day at the

Yeah, it is.
I'm gonna see you

You got the mil?
Yup.

Would I kid you?

The school closed.
I thought I'd stay with you.
Didn't you get my message? Oh, shit.
Colleen, you can't stay.
In fact, you gotta leave. Come on.
Wh... what's wrong?
I'm undercover.
Undercover?
Do you have a code name? Paco.
Remember serpico?
They called him paco. That's me.
The guys at the door are just feds.
Feds?
It's gonna be a routine
bust; We'll catch up later.
Stay in the bedroom.
Danny, be careful.
Shut up!
Nice place you got here,
Danny.
Decorate it yourself,
or did you hire somebody?
That's funny.
Get used to calling me paco, all right?
Man, I have pissed in
nicer places than this.
Let's see it.
You don't even have to count it...
It just smells like a million.
Almost looks fake,
doesn't it?
This is it?
Hey, paco.
Who's this?
- This is me brethren.
- What the hell's that mean?
That means that he is
such a good friend...
That I call him
my brother.
Why don't you have your good
friend open up the suitcases?
Is that
what you want?
You wanna see
what's inside?
- What you got?
- What you need.
Mmm.
You know what I like.
Yo, paco!
What a mess.
Hey. Grab the cake.
This party's over.
Frankie, i'm...
What'd you do, hurt yourself?
Here, take one of these.
Come on.
Ohh.
Ohh!
Danny!
Danny! No!
No.
Holy shit.
I got a hole through me.
Oh, fuck.
That hurt?
Ohhh!
Fucky fuckin' fuck.
Fuck you. Fuckin' fuck.
You're gonna live.
If you were hurt bad, you wouldn't feel
a thing. We gotta get that cleaned up.
Go to my brother's. Get a band-aid
or somethin'. Fuckin' hurts.
- You got a brother?
- Yeah. He's the original bad boy.
Just mellowed with age.
He's cool. Besides,
we ain't gonna tell him shit.
Hop. Hop.
Take it easy.
Hey.
I got ya. I got ya.
I got ya. I got ya.
Yeah...
Hold on. Hold on.
Slow down.

Hey, Marty,
you get your Volvo station wagon yet?
What happened to you?
Just got a little leak here.
Fight in a bar over
some pretty-ass thing.
Is he that
pretty-ass thing?
Marty, Frankie.
Frankie, Marty.
You didn't bring trouble into my
house, did you? The man's got a b.M.W.
Can I get a cotton ball
or somethin'?
Sit down and keep quiet.
The kids are asleep. My lips are sealed.
We gotta
split the money up.
Not here, man.
Listen up.
We'll stay here tonight, get patched
up, split the money tomorrow.
Take a seat.
Who made you boss?
You pulled me in on this thing
because you trust me. Remember?
Let me take care
of business.
How much does your brother
know about me?
- Your name is Frankie, and you got a hard-on
for your b.M.W. - That's all he needs to know.
- How you holdin' up?
- Okay.
All right, here we go.
Let me see that thing.
Oh, shit, man.
Aah! Aah... here, here, here, here.
Goddamn it, shut up.
Thanks, man.
Listen, Marty, uh,
you think I can crash here tonight?
What happened to that penthouse suite you
were buying after you ran that last deal?
They're renovatin'.
Puttin' in a jacuzzi.
What kind of trouble
you guys into?
Marty, we're not in any trouble.
I promise, man.
As your little brother,
I ain't lyin' to ya.
Please, man.
All right, all right.
You can take the couch.
Thanks.
All right,
I'll check on you tomorrow, hop.
Nice to meet you.
"Nice to meet you."
13-a9, no warrant
on the suspect.
What do you got
in there, Vic?
Pretty bad in there,
captain.
Anything?
Danny didn't stand a chance.
Let's keep the press out of this.
Understood.
Where's
Danny's sister?
They put her in the cruiser.
She won't talk to anyone but you.
I've known her about ten years
now, since Danny was a rookie.
Goddamn it.
13a-43, no warrant
on the suspect.
Frequency two, clear.
I'm here for you, Colleen.
Whatever you need.
I know.
Danny was one of
the finest men I knew.
You're not alone,
Colleen.
If it's any consolation, his killers
will be caught. You have my word.
I saw 'em,
captain Evans.
I saw 'em murder Danny. I know.
When you're ready, you can come
down to the station and we'll go...
I'll be there.
I'll be there tomorrow morning at 7:00.
Fine.
Now let's get you
someplace to stay tonight.
Tomorrow
we go to work.
Boo!
Real funny, asshole.
Maserati
or lamborghini?
Or how about a big ol' black,
four-door benz with polished wheels?
I want a b.M.W.,
but you already got one.
What do you think
you're doing?
Paint a big,
flashing bull's-eye around your ass?
What, you get to drive around in
an 850 and I gotta take the bus?
Hell, no.
I got my own money now.
Speakin' of that,
where is the dough-re-mi?
In a storage bin with a two-dollar
door and a ten-cent lock.
I thought
we were splittin' it.
Hop, there was a lot
of blood last night.
I think we should just kick back
awhile, let our dust settle.
- How's your side?
- Sore as shit.
What's buggin' you?
You gotta run your hands
through some of that cash.
You get that greenie stink on your
fingers, you'll feel a whole lot better.
- I know how it feels.
- Now I do too.
This is my turn,
Frankie.
This money is gonna give me the
opportunity to be legit like you.
Maybe start a business,
you know?
I-I could invest it
or something.
Right now
I don't feel very legit.
You never bothered tellin'
me you had a brother.
What did you tell him
about me?
I told him just enough so
he didn't ask any questions.
I gave him a couple bucks for
helpin' me out. He's cool.
Here's 5,000 bucks.
Get yourself some transportation.
Nothin' flashy.
Just make sure
it's got a trunk.
We gotta do somethin'
with that money.
How far down on your list of somethin'
to do with that money is spendin' it?
It's not on the list,
hop.
For now, we should
just be cool...
And lay low.
Later on we'll split up the
money, find another buyer.
But for now, we do
absolutely nothing.
You're takin' all the fun out
of bein' a millionaire, Frankie.
Trust me.
The fun'll come later.
Go get yourself
some wheels.
Fine. But I'm gettin'
one of these next week.
Come by the club
later.
Hey, take your time,
Colleen.
I might as well be looking
through time magazine here.
The odds
are probably as good.
The one who did the shooting was
different than the rest of them.
There was something
about him.
Do you remember anything specific,
anything special about the guy?
He had long blond hair and he
wore it back in a ponytail.
His eyes were cold blue...
And he had a very,
very strong presence.
Excuse me.
Colleen, I think you know
detective knapp.
He'll be in charge
of Danny's investigation.
Do you have another detective
that can work this case?
Hey. Danny was a cop.
That means he's my brother too.
The captain and I got the whole
department fired up over this.
You recognize
this guy?
Yes. This...
This is the little one.
Punk's name is hopscotch. Danny was on
to him. Don't know his real name yet.
Just a small-time hood looking
to make the score of his life.
Unfortunately for Danny,
he tried to get in the way of that.
I figure this hopscotch rat has crawled deep
inside some hole, but I'm gonna flush him out.
What about
the f.B.I. Agents?
F.b.i.? The other two
men that were killed.
Danny said they were
FBI agents.
Danny said that,
that they were feds? Yes.
What? What's wrong?
They weren't f.B.I. Agents.
Just a couple of street punks.
Anyway, captain,
these guys left a pretty clean trail.
Blondie might lead us
to hopscotch.
But it was the blond guy that killed
my brother, not this hopscotch.
Nothing's more important to you than
bringing your brother's killer to justice...
That's right.
We plan on doing just that.
We also want to
continue his investigation.
You know your brother
would want that.

How long until you get bored and

Colleen,
listen to me.
A cop's been killed.
I'm a cop.
Whatever you think of me,
this is my job.
You know, I've changed a lot
in the last few years.
I wish you'd let me
prove it to you.
Hmm?

You want some?
Mmm, no, thanks.
Mmm. Corn flakes

Um...
You know, I was thinking about
those guys who were with Danny.
If they weren't with the f.B.I.,
then who do you think they were with?
I already told you,
they were a couple of street punks.
Yeah, but who do you
think they work for?
I can't discuss the case with you.
It's department policy.
It's for your own protection.
It's ridiculous.
You can't keep me in
the dark like this, Vic.
Screw department
policies, captain.
We're talking about
Danny here.
Colleen,
this isn't easy.
Look, Danny was
in this thing deep.
Maybe too deep.
Vic has
uncovered evidence...
Which suggests that
Danny had turned.
Are you saying...
That Danny
was a dirty cop?
Colleen,
look, this is only
an investigation,
but at this point we
have to follow this lead.
I still feel the same way
I always have about Danny.
Sometimes the temptation
is just too great.
I'm sorry.
You're wrong, captain Evans.
I don't care what evidence you have.
I know my brother.
He was a decorated cop.
All this time you've been trying
to figure out if Danny is guilty...
While his killer
goes free?
Try to talk to her.
Yeah.
Colleen.
Colleen!
Why didn't you tell me?
I wanted to be sure.
Are you?
Almost.
Come on. You know Danny.
You, of all people, should know who he is.
Or was.
I'm gonna find this killer and prove
something to you, Vic... that you're wrong.
You let me handle this.
Now, don't run off... don't
what, do anything stupid?
I know who the killer is
and where to find him.

the stupid one.
So let me
spell it out for ya.
I do not have
your m-o-n-e-y.
You name it.
Mm-hmm.
What makes you happy?
Ohhh!
Fuckin' Frankie.
What are you doin'?
I been guardin' this money with my life!
I wanted to get some sleep, but I didn't
want to take my eyes off these babies.
Anyone wants one of these,
they're gonna have to fuckin' kill me!
The boys in the masks,
they ain't goin' away.
Now what?
"Now what"?
Get yourself together.
We gotta move. Let's go! Come on!
You know,
you're scaring me!
I don't like to be scared.
Get in your truck!
Let's go!
What's with the shovels,
cat daddy?
We'll get my car
on the way back.
Start drivin'.
I'll explain.
Where the hell
we goin'?
When I was a kid my old man
used to knock me around a lot.
When he'd pass out I'd come out
here and shoot at targets, you know.
Bottles, cans, whatever moved.
There ain't much.
There ain't nothin'
and nobody.
It's the only place
the jerk couldn't find me.
So I figured it'd be a great
place to Bury some money.
What do you mean,
"Bury"?
Two bad boys with all sorts
of torture devices...
Think our money
is their money, remember?
Soon they're gonna get bored with their little
toys and move up to bigger and badder ones.
How much can you take,
hop?
That's what I thought.
That money has got
to be nowhere near us.
If they find it,
they'll kill us.
This is
our insurance policy...
'Til I can figure out what
and who we're dealing with.
Damn. Why aren't we
usin' your car?
It was a tough decision.
All right, careful.
It's just over that Ridge there.
I don't know if it's the sun
makin' me faint or somethin,
but I can't stop
thinkin' about...
All this fuckin' money goin'
straight into a motherfuckin' hole...
Where the coyotes or dingoes or
whatever the fuck lives out here...
Can eat it...
While
I'm sitting home...
With my sister...
On the corner
selling lemonade,
wonderin' why the hell
I ever listened to you.
Calm down.
It'll all work out.
Just think of this
as a bank.
What are you doing?
Makin' a withdrawal.
Might as well
stick me in there too.
Stop pouting, hop.
I got a plan.
I thought the last plan was
the plan to end all plans.
A better plan.
A better plan.
Hop,
no more plans.
Now pick up
a shovel.
You've changed,
Frankie west.
Oh, yeah.
I've... I've changed.
Gotten dumber.
Come on.
We're through.
You want a coke?
You just took my truck on
Mr. Toad's wild fuckin' ride...
And all you can say is,
"you want a coke?"
I'm thirsty.
Okay.

These look

You always get the best

What's with the pigs?
Fresh meat.
Mmm.
You're not gonna
eat that now?
You're a funny guy.
You know that? You are.
You're funny.
I thought you lost it
back there.
I thought
you lost your shit.
Mmm. But you were just piecin' everything
together, just putting it together.
Mmm. Always thinkin'.
Yeah.
I'm not much of a thinker,
I don't think, but you are.
That's why we make
such a good team.
By the way,
screw you.
Screw me?
Yeah, screw you
for messin' up my truck.
That piece-of-shit
truck?
Hey, that was a good car.
I liked that car.
Ain't no b.M.W., but it was
the nicest car I ever had.
Wanna drive?
Me?
Nobody drives your car.
Let's go.
You know, I think I know
what my problem is.
Yeah? What.
I been thinkin' about the ways to spend this money,
but none of it sounds as fun as it should.
There's this girl I used
to see... real sweet.
She really dug me too, but I had
to keep samplin'... had to be hop.
Saw her at the store the other week.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
She still had it
for me.
It's like, I let some go and now I got
all this money, but what's it good for?
You gettin' me?
Yeah, but
what about jeaneen?
- Jeaneen's married, man.
- Thou shall not commit adultery.
Then I think to myself,
she's the one who's married,
so she's
the adulterer.
Hop, you got a point there, but you
might have a problem with the one...
"Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's wife."
He ain't my neighbor.
Fucker lives in norwalk.
Anyway, I'm gonna
let jeaneen go.
Gonna find that little gal, ask her out on
a real date before my Karma goes to shit.
I'm fuckin' hit!
Aaaah!
I'm here for you, hop!
Stay with me!
I got you, hop.
Hop?
Aaah!
Uhh! Ohh! Oww!
Marty?
You killed hop!
Frankie? I didn't...
I didn't know, man.
You gotta help me.
My arm...
Bullshit!
You shot your own brother.
Is all that money worth it to you?
Huh?
Who you workin' for, Marty?
Answer me! Who put you up to this?
Frankie,
we can talk about this.
You got a smoke on ya...
Ohhh!
Frankie, man,
I loved my brother,
but he got caught in the
wrong scam at the wrong time.
It's all very unfortunate,
but you know it and I know it.
It just comes
with the territory, man.
Frankie, there is a... there's a
whole lot of money out there, man.
We can just...
We can just split it.
"We" is not gonna do
anything.
You are gonna tell me who your partner
is, and I'm gonna listen.
I can't... no.
Ohhh! Aaah!
Ohh.
Fuck you.
Okay. There's a...
There's a... there's a
pager number in the car...
And a... a cell phone.
Better hope
he calls back.
You lookin'
for some money?
You know
what I'm talkin' about.
You know who I am.
Now I know who you are.
It's time for us
to have a talk.
Well, little buddy,
here we are.
Used to say you
weren't gonna make it to 30.
Well, you did.
You made it.
And a little more.
Damn it, hop.
I probably
never told you this...
You're my best friend.
I hope you know that.
I had to tell him, man.
He's kickin' the shit
out of me.
A mutual acquaintance has some
disturbing things to say about you.
It hurts, Vic.
Man, it hurts bad.
- That ought to kill the pain.
- That was dumb.
- He was a piece of shit.
- He was a piece of shit.
But he also knew
where the money was.
You'd have
killed him anyway.
So, where is it?
Out there.
You want the fast way to the money,
you probably shouldn't kill me.
Gimme the rest of the money,
keep 50 grand, I forget I ever saw you.
I'm not gonna let you enjoy
spendin' that money, pal.
Tommy "hopscotch" Hopkins.
Did you even know the man?
Your little runt partner?
No, but thanks to my snitch, Marty,
I knew he had the money I wanted.
How hard was it to get his
own brother to kill him?
Don't be stupid, asshole.

Why don't you wait to blow my brains out?
It might get better.
- You murdered my brother.
- What?
- I saw you.
- Saw me?
Kill who?
Paco.
His real name was officer Danny whitley.
He was my brother!
Paco?
Paco's your brother?
Paco was a cop?
The beach house.
I was in the hallway
behind the door.
I saw you. You had his
blood all over your face.
I didn't kill
your brother.
I saw you.
I saw you with my own eyes.
No you didn't.
Because I didn't shoot him.
The guys he was with shot him.
You're lying. You'd say anything
to stop me from killing you.
You're right.
I would.
But I'm not lying.
We were going to do
a simple money transaction.
From the moment I walked in,
I knew something was wrong.
All of a sudden, one of the guys
who was with your brother...
Pulls a gun on him
and blows him away.
While the other guys
start shootin' at us.
All I was tryin' to do
was stay alive.
You got the wrong man.
His own people killed him.
I never shot anyone
who wasn't tryin' to kill me.
Now, if you still
want to shoot me,
you have to pull
that back first.
If what you say is true,
then why did those guys kill him?
I don't know.
What do you think?
I think
he was set up.
Double-crossed.
I remember the expression
on your brother's face.
He never saw it comin'
until the last second.
I'm sorry.
Nice piece o' ass, huh?
Did you screw her?
The desert
get too cold?
Hey, I'm talkin' to you, pal.
Did you screw her or not?
Did you fuck her?
I see. You're
a cool guy, huh?
Okay. Good.
What did you tell Colleen?
Oh. You know her name.
Yeah.
What you don't know is all
this girl's trying to do...
Is find out
who killed her brother.
You wouldn't have any idea
who that is, would you?
Tell you what
I'm going to do.
I'm gonna give you
$100,000.
You're gonna give me
the rest of the money.
Why would I give you
four million dollars...
For a hundred grand?
'Cause I'll fuckin' kill ya
before I let you screw this up.
Like I give a shit.
Let me get this
straight, okay?
I have a lot of money.
Yeah.
You have none.
That's right.
Not only that, I know if the money's
in the dining room or the conservatory,
and if colonel mustard is screwing
miss Scarlet while they're counting it.
You don't have a clue,
do you?
Let me ask you:
Who's winning the game,
daddy?
You're a dead man, pal.
- Where were you tonight?
- I was at a strip club.
Oh. Why?
Because I, unlike others, intend to do
something about my brother's murder.
Oh, you do, huh?
So, what did you do, Colleen? Did you
walk up, introduce yourself and say,
"hey, oh, I'm Colleen.
Did you kill my brother?"
I tried to get a job
as a dancer.
Oh, now you're
Angie fuckin' Dickinson, huh?
You're gonna get yourself killed. Danny
was in too deep, look what happened to him.
Stay out of this.
Or maybe you're falling for him.
Don't be an asshole!
He's a killer.
He said he didn't do it.
Oh, he did.
Oh, well.
Then I'll just walk down to the police
station and strike him off the suspect list.
I'm gonna say this one last time, Colleen.
Stay away from him. Got it?
Can I come in?
I think I know who arranged
for your brother's death.
The only question is:
How does he know you?
What are you talking about?
Right after you
pulled away last night...
Bad guy number two
shows up.
He wants to know
what we talked about.
And he refers
to you by name.
Dark hair, drives a blue sedan,
about my height, good-looking guy.
Vic?
So you do know this guy.
Yeah, you're describing Vic knapp.
He's the detective in charge of the case.
He's a cop?
Well, he's one dirty cop.
That's impossible.
I know him, we...
How well do ya know him?
We were lovers.
Perfect.
That can't be true. Vic's not
capable of doing something like this.
My best friend is dead
because of this Vic.
Now, how did he explain...
The guys who killed
your brother?
He said they were
street punks...
And Danny thought
they were feds.
Street punks
aren't that slick.
They were professional assassins
hired by your friend Vic to do us all.
Danny trusted them because
Vic told him they were FBI.
I searched their pockets.
They had no ids, nothing.
Just this.
It's part of a map
with a phone number.
This is
Danny's neighborhood.
It's also the main number of the
switchboard for the downtown precinct.
There's no question, Colleen.
Vic's your man.
I'm gonna get him.
I'm gonna get him!
Colleen, there's only one way to bust
this guy. We have to go over his head.
His boss, his name is Evans,
Evans, okay.
Let's call Evans in.
Colleen!
I need you to call Evans.
This is what you're gonna say.
Fifty-fifty.
Sure.
About a mile
past king's canyon.
Three o' clock.
Just by the taco stand.
Ah, detective knapp.
We were just talking about Danny's case.
Plenty o' leads, no one's talkin'.
Look, don't worry, I'm on it, all right?
I don't have to tell you how
important this case is, do I?
I want it resolved for the department
and for detective whitley's sister.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
All right, where is it?
Down there.
Down there.
Yeah.
Not a bad hike
for buried treasure.
Why don't we
leave these up here?
You know how
money changes people.
Occupational hazard.
Anything else?
That's Frankie's car.
It's just a little bit further.
Why is Frankie
turning himself in?
Because he didn't kill Danny.
And he thinks Vic's involved?
Yes. From the very beginning
it was all Vic.
Well, maybe Vic's letting Frankie lead
him to the money so he can arrest him.
Then why didn't he inform you,
his own captain?
He's out there
without backup.
He's dirty, captain.
Start diggin'.
Our partnership's gonna last
about another 20 minutes.
You're gonna
have to work your half.
Uuh!
You okay there, soldier?
What the hell is the matter with you?
Uuh. You could of killed me.
Yeah, I did put a little
too much wrist in my swing.
I think you leaned into it
at the last second, though.
I thought we had a deal.
So did I,
until I discovered this pez
dispenser strapped to your ass.
You know, this is
a funny gun for a cop.
The serial number's
ground off.
Were you going
to shoot me with it?
That's Vic's car.
You wait here.
I'm gonna go. No! You stay here.
Let me handle this.
Put a little zip in it,
will ya?
Oof!
Ooh!
- Where're you goin', Vic?
- Evans.
You're a little late, cap'n.
Our boy's just down there.
You've got
some explaining to do.
What are you doin', Vic?
You goin' into business for yourself?
- Look, captain. - No. You look.
If it hadn't been for your...
- Brainless ex-girlfriend,
you would have gotten away with it. - Vic!
Uuh! Uuuh! Uuh!
He was my best detective.
Captain Evans, I don't
know how to thank you.
One way or another, neither of us
were meant to leave the desert alive.
What happens now?
Well, the way I see it is:
These two gentlemen got into a
little dispute over some money.
Both of the greedy fellows
took a bullet.
It's not quite the o.K. Corral, but then
neither of these guys is Wyatt earp, so...
I expect it'll do.
That's more than enough
for them.
