[radio announcer] 7:15.
Jack's here with the sports

update at twenty after.

You've got Mike
in the Morning.

The bottom of the radio dial
with the top of the morning



to you. One of these
mixed bag kinda days

in the forecast that
is a mix of sun and

cloud and smog, of course.

High 68. Do take an
umbrella this evening.

Showers and the chance
of thunderstorm over night.

Sixty two degrees right now
in the Big Apple.

So wake up if you have to.

Can you believe this?
An 86 year old woman who

lives in a Buffalo nursing home,
won over 6 million dollars

in a recent lottery.
She actually cashed her check

and handed out money to
everybody she came across,

Nurses and even visitors who
were on the floor.

Don't you wish you were
visiting your granny that day?

Now speaking of seniors
and money.

It was 40 years ago today
a 73 year old New Yorker

went to jail for counterfeiting.
Now get this.

He printed one dollar bills
with Washington spelled wrong.

But he got away
with passing nearly

three thousand, one at a
time for 10 years.

♪ Turn the bend and
The mountains come in view ♪

♪ From the flats to the
Deep blue sea ♪

♪ All the scenery is you ♪

♪ Now I thank
My lucky stars... ♪

Morning Mom.

[music continues]

[funk music]

My money. Come on hand it over.
I'm in a hurry.

I have to make my rounds.

What are you, broke Rico?

I heard you hit it big
at the track the other day.

Yeah, I did. So what?

Then what do you
need the money for?

None of your business.
Just give me my money

and keep your mouth shut.
Come on asshole. I'm in a hurry.

[Angelo] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Who are you calling "asshole"?

You. I'm calling you an asshole
because that's what you are.

An asshole.

[sneezes]

[Angelo] Well?

Well what?

[Angelo] Didn't your mother
ever teach you manners, huh?

You're supposed to say
God bless you when

somebody sneezes.

I don't believe in saying
God bless you.

What do you mean you
don't believe in saying

God bless you?

I mean I don't believe in saying
God bless you to some

son of a bitch who just
blew germs all over the room.

Screw you is more appropriate,
I think.

You got plenty of charm, huh?

[Rico] Hey,
If God wants someone blessed

he can come down here
and do it himself.

[Angelo]
You know something Rico?

You really are an asshole.

Who you calling an asshole?

You. I'm calling you an asshole
because that's what you are.

An asshole.

[Angelo] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Not so fast, huh?

Tommy wants to see you.

[Rico] For what?

I don't know.

Whoa, whoa. He's got somebody
in there right now.

[Rico] You know Ange?
You were stupid in high school

and you're stupid now.

Nice to achieve something
with your life, you know?

You would know about that,
wouldn't you?

Now that's not nice.

[punching and groaning]

[male voice] I'm sorry!
Please, don't hurt me anymore!

Get out of here.

Get out of here you piece
of garbage you.

You wanna fuck off
with me, Larry?

-[Larry] No! No!
-Come on!

Call me what you did
to my face.

[Tommy]
Tell me to my face, come on.

I don't do business that way,
you understand?

-Did you get my lunch?
-[Angelo] Yeah, Tommy.

-Where the hell is it?
-[Angelo] Yeah, right here.

[loud thump]
[groans in pain]

[Tommy] Go ahead now,
get out of here, turd.

Get that donkey shit
out of here.

You! Get your ass in gear.
Come on!

[Tommy] I got blood all over me
from that piece of crap.

Rico, I'm gonna get
straight to the point.

Now, you know me right?
I'm not a bad guy.

I'm a good guy, ain't I?

I mean, I got people
who I have to answer to.

And when I tell those people
that business is good,

the last thing that I need,

is my people making me
look like a liar.

Are we on the same page?

-Yeah, sure Tommy.
-Yeah, OK.

Well, maybe you can tell me
why word on the street has it

that you ain't putting pressure
on people like you used to.

Where did you hear that?

[Tommy] What difference
does it make? I heard it.

The point is

that you have
to straighten yourself out.

When Tommy C hires a guy
to collect money for him,

he expects him to lay
down the law.

Plain and simple.
No dicking around.

Alright. Is that clear?

You got that point?

-I always have Tommy.
-Oh, good. Okay.

Then maybe you
can explain to me

unless of course your skimming

why Jerry Trask's envelope
only had half a payment in

last week's collection money?

He was short so I cut him
a break. That's all.

Ohh... he was a little short.

So you cut him a break.
Is that what you're telling me?

You do not cut guys breaks.

You give them until
twelve noon the next day.

If they haven't paid you by then

I expect a major part of
their body to be in a cast,

preferably their dick!

Come on Tommy.

He'll come through.
He's a good guy.

Oh, oh. He's a good guy. Oh.

Isn't that funny?

I'm not in the good guy
business.

This is not a charity
I'm running here.

[Tommy] You know, I've been
in this business a long time.

Been a lot of guys come and go

A lot of things go down.

Some guys,
they get tired.

They get burnt out.

Sometimes...

they do some things
that are stupid.

Mike's here Tommy.

[Tommy] Tell him to come on in.

Go ahead,
get the hell out of here.

[jazz music]

Hey Rico! Rico!
How are you doing?

Hey little bro!

What are you doing here?

I saw your car. Figured you were
up seeing Tommy. How did it go?

Ah, you know Tommy.
He ragged on me.

-Nothing I can't handle.
-He got anything for me yet?

Nothing but driving.

You know Joey, I was going to
come by and get you.

Yeah, I saw Angelo dragging
Larry the Lizard out a couple

of minutes ago.

[chuckling] He insulted Tommy.
It's not a good idea.

[Joey] Ah, man! I could handle
a loser like that.

All Tommy has to do is say
the word and let me in.

Boom! I would come
through for him.

Ain't that simple, Joey.

[laughing] Come on!

If Tommy would let me
pack some heat,

he could sit back,

watch the Brothers Burke tame
his streets for him, eh?

-Bang! Bang! Bang!
-Hey, cut that shit out.

What?

[keys jingle]

Hey, maybe you can talk to
Tommy for me!

[Rico] Don't start Joey. OK?

[Joey] What do you mean?

[Rico]
Don't start is what I mean.

[Joey]
That's easy for you to say.

You get to do real work.

Real work.

Yeah.

[rustling noise]

From Tommy.

I don't know why Tommy
keeps giving me these handouts

just for driving you around.

I mean, what am I?
A cab driver or something?

Hey, don't push it. OK?

I could do other things.
You just don't trust me no more.

Joey I told you,
it ain't like that.

Tommy thinks it looks better
if two guys pull up in a car.

It's all about appearances.
You know?

It makes more of a statement.

[Rico] Now come on, let's go.

[engine starts]

[funky music]

[Joey] What are you waiting for?

This is your last stop.
That Trask guy.

[banging]

-[Trask] Who is it?
-[Rico] Rico Burke.

[kicking]

[Rico]
You should seriously consider

redecorating this dump, Jerry.

If I could afford to redecorate,
I wouldn't have to worry about

putting my kid through school.

Yeah and if I listened to
everyone's sob story

I'd shoot myself at the end of
the day.

Sorry. We all have our crosses.

Yeah?

Keep yours to yourself.

There you go.

Tommy wants last week's
as well, Jerry.

But you said it would be
alright.

I know what I said,

but Tommy said different, Jerry.

[sighs nervously]
Well I don't have it.

You know, you should've
thought about your daughter

before you borrowed
money, Jerry.

Please don't hurt me, Rico.
I can't afford to be laid up.

[violent punching]

Please! I can't--

[yells in pain]

[gasps]

I can't let her down!

[screams]

[gasping]

[screams]

[Trask gasping]
The money...

Last week's, next week's...

[Trask] I can get it all.

Pay off Tommy for good.

That sounds like a crock
to me, Jerry.

[Trask] Please! Please!
I swear it, I swear it!

My cousin offered it to me.
I didn't want to take it

but I will if I have to!
[gasping]

Noon. Noon tomorrow, Jerry.

If you don't have the--
look at me...

Noon tomorrow. If you don't
have the money or if I have to

or if I have to come
looking for you

I will beat you within
inches of your life.

Do you understand me?

[Trask cries out]

[soft piano music]

[Rico sighs]

I've become an animal, Joey.

Give me that money
I gave you before.

For what?

Just give it to me. I'll give it
back to you tomorrow.

[Joey]
You're padding envelopes, Rico.

Just worry about driving.

[Joey] Tommy ain't gonna like it
if he finds out you're padding

envelopes, letting people slide.

Yeah. Well Tommy ain't
gonna find out, is he?

Let's go.

[Angelo] Hey, did you see
the picture of Lizzy Moran

-in today's Post?
-[Rico] No, I must've missed it.

[Angelo] Well, I'll tell ya,
she is some looker, this broad.

Yeah, she's alright.

What do you mean
she's alright?

Just what I mean.
She's alright.

It's what I mean.

You saying that if she crawled
into bed with you and started

playing with your balls,
you'd kick her out?

Angelo! A girl, any girl would
have to be pretty sorry looking

for me to throw her out when
she's already in my bed.

[Rico] But wouldn't know
anything about that, would you?

Hey, up yours! I'm married.

That's exactly what
I'm talking about.

I thought I had a big dick until
your wife showed me hers. Whoa!

Hey, screw you, Rico.

Alright. Take care.
I'll call you later, alright?

Be careful.

[Tommy] Not bad huh, Rico?

Bet you wouldn't mind
having a little piece

of that yourself,
would you?

I don't know Tommy.
Give unto Caesar,

you know what I mean?
[chuckles]

[Tommy] What are you gonna do,
start preaching now?

Come on. Bring me my money.

[Tommy]
Now, let's see what we got here.

Jerry Trask, alright.

Now, that's last week's.

And this is this week's.

That's very good.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This money looks familiar.

Angelo!

[Angelo] Yeah, Tommy?

Did you pay Rico today?

[Angelo] Yeah, sure I did.

[Tommy] Did you copy down the
serial numbers like I told you?

[Angelo] Yeah.

[Tommy] Come here.

-[Rico] Hey, Tommy, I--
-[Tommy] My goodness!

You playing some kind of game?

Do you think my business
is some kind of a joke?

[Rico] Hey, Tommy.
It don't got to be like this.

-Come on man--
-Yes, yes. It's got to be

like this, you know why?

Because you asked for it
by trying to put one over on me.

[trigger clicks]
I should blow your brains out.

Do you know that?

It would be my right.

[suspenseful music]

The only thing that's saving you
is all the money I won on your

back when you were in college

playing football.
You remember that?

Rico "Bullet" Burke,
star quarterback.

Look at you now, look at you.

You are nothing.
You'll never be anything.

You're a two-bit loser with
a bad arm and a bad record.

Although it did take a little
nerve to try to put one over

on Tommy, huh?

Well, we're gonna see how much
nerve you really got.

You're going to go back
and see Mr. Trask.

You're gonna pay him
a little visit, okay?

And you're gonna
collect the money.

[knife clicks]

All the money!

His money, not yours.

Okay? And if he ain't got
the money, all of it,

you are gonna cut off
one of his fingers.

[stabbing noise]
[ominous music]

Now, I don't give a shit
what finger you cut off.

I mean me, personally,

I prefer the pinky.

This way he can keep his job

and still pay the debt.

And let me tell you
something else.

I don't want that retarded gimp
hanging around here anymore.

Now, you understand?

He's giving my business
a bad name.

What am I running?
A home here?

I'd appreciate you not talking
about my brother like that--

What!

Okay, come on Tommy.

You don't have to talk about
my brother like that.

[Tommy]
Hey, I call them as I see them.

If it wasn't for that kind of
a scumbag

my gambling joint
wouldn't be down!

It was running one
of your crooked tables

-that got him shot.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Angelo] Watch it, Rico.

Yeah, take it easy.

You already got one foot
in the grave.

[Tommy]
You realize that, don't you?

I'm gonna call this

an unfortunate situation.

I'm gonna make believe
this never happened.

We're gonna go back
to business as usual.

[Tommy] Okay?

[trigger clicks]

[Tommy] Now go get them Rico.

Go get them.

And Rico?

If you're not back here

with the money or his finger

by eight o'clock tonight,

I'm coming after both of you.

Now get out of here. Go ahead.

[grunts]

Hey what's the matter?

That low-life bastard.

[Joey] What happened?
What did Tommy do?

[Rico] One of these days Joey,

I'm gonna cap him
right between the eyes.

[Joey] Hey, hey. Talk like that
will only get you killed.

I can't help it.

Taking on Tommy C is not
a game people win, Rico.

I want one break, that's it!

Just one chance to get out
from underneath him!

Come on, move it out.

We're going back
to Jerry Trask's.

[engine starts]

[folk music]

[loud thud]

Deal's off, Jerry.
Tommy wants his money now.

-Right now!
-But I don't have it yet!

-I can't--
-[Rico] Time to look out

for number one.

[Trask grunts]
[lamp smashes]

Rico, wait!

It's too late for talking Jerry.
[knife clicks]

[Trask] I'm gonna get
the money tonight.

[slamming drawer]
[yelling]

Rico, I swear.

Me and a couple guys are
gonna pull a job tonight!

Take your hand off my wrist
or I'll slit your throat Jerry.

I swear! The job
is worth 200 grand!

The Del Ray warehouse.
Do you know it?

Yeah, what about it?

[Trask] Okay. There's a buy
going down at 8:30.

Counterfeit plates, twenties.

[Rico] Who has those Jerry?

Some Koreans looking to
make quick cash outside

-their own circle.
-Who's buying Jer?

[Trask grunts]
Louis.

The Turk?

Tommy would kill them for that.

[Trask] He's looking
to break away from Tommy.

Ain't we all?

[whispers]
It's true.

Where would a low-life like you
get that information, Jerry?

[grunts]
This partner of mine,

Roy, he works for Louis.

There's a spot above his office
you can hear everything from.

Lou's been planning
this for weeks.

[Sammy]
Hey, Jerry! You here?

[Trask]
Sammy! He's got a gun!

[gunshots]

[loud crash]

[glass shattering]

[gunshots continue]

[neighbor]
Keep it down in there!

[folk music continues]

[trigger clicks]
[gunshots]

[thud]

[Rico] Come on! Let's go!

Hey, I don't know if
I was just dreaming

but I thought I heard gunshots.

[Rico] Some kids playing with
firecrackers in the stairway.

Nice building.
[Joey chuckles]

Listen, I gave Tommy a call
when we were upstairs.

Joey. A job's come up.
You want in, you're in

-but we gotta move on it now.
-What kind of job?

Lou the Turk is trying to move
counterfeit plates behind

Tommy's back and we're
going to stop him.

-And Tommy wants me?
-No, I want you.

But you have to make up
your mind right now Joe.

Are there going to be guns?

Yeah, and we're probably
going to have to use them.

-Right on! Right on!
-Hey, cut that out!

-What?
-Your attitude!

This ain't no schoolyard.

[whining]
I know that Rico.

No, I don't think you do Joe.

I don't think you know that.

This is the real deal.

Now look!

You're going in there with me.

You keep your eyes open
and your mouth shut.

No games. You do what I say.
You got that?

Yeah Rico. I got it. I got it.
[laughs excitedly]

Where to?

Del Ray warehouse.

Wait a minute.
I want to stop somewhere.

Where?

I want to see mom.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

[engine starts]

[Joey] You know I hate
coming out here. What gives?

[Rico] All these damn bugs.

It's a cemetery.
What did you expect?

The place is full of bugs.

We should've taken
better care of her Joe.

Yeah, sure.

-Hey, what are ya doing, huh?
-What?

Show some respect!

You're losing it man.

It's mom's grave.

She's my mom too.

Who do you think you are
hitting me, huh? My old man?

[soft piano music]

What do you think mom would say

about all the things
I've done, Joey?

[Joey] I don't know.

[Rico] I'm going to do
whatever I have to Joey.

I'm gonna do whatever it takes

to get away from
this miserable life.

Otherwise, I've got a feeling
my days are numbered.

[Rico] Come on, we've
got work to do.

Let's get out of here.

[blues music]

-[son] Hey Dad, can we watch TV?
-[daughter] Daddy?

No son, I'm listening
to the stereo.

-Come on! Our show's almost on.
-[daughter] Please, please...

Yeah, but son,
this is real music.

This is rhythm and blues, R&B.
This guy's a real master.

-Daddy, daddy, TV--
-Aw, for crying out loud!

Look what ya did!
You got it all over me.

Mom!

What happened?

What happened? She spilled
the drink all over me, the rug.

Try to give these kids culture.
They don't wanna take it.

Well, they're kids.
They wanna watch TV.

They don't wanna listen to
your stupid music.

[Tommy] Hey, watch your mouth.
That's not stupid music.

That's soul!

Screw soul!

[loud slap]
[Nancy cries out]

Now you had to open your mouth
and spoil my whole night!

Now where you going? Get back
here for crying out loud!

Get back here!

You're an animal Tommy!

[Tommy] Hey watch your mouth
in front of my kids.

Go to your room, go ahead!
Lock yourself up, go ahead!

all of you.

[blues music]

Show time.

[Tommy] Hey, Angelo.
Yeah, it's eight o'clock.

Did you hear from Rico?

No? Well get over here.

What do you mean why?

We're gonna go look for him,
that's why.

-You getting in?
-What is this?

It's a car.

I know it's a car.
Who's car is it?

[Angelo] It's the wife's.
She needed mine to go

over to her mother's house.

To tell you the truth,
I think the power steering

on this thing is shot.

Well, if you think I'm getting
into this piece of crap,

you're out of your mind.

-[Angelo stutters] Wha--
-[Tommy] What's with the...

What are you, an idiot?
Get out. We'll take my car.

[briefcase snaps]

[suspenseful music]

[Joey] Let's go!

[Rico whistles]
[triggers click]

[gunshots]

[man groans]

[man grunts]

[Pete] Let's finish them off!

Hey, those are Tommy's guys!

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[gunshots]

[Rico] Hey!
[applauding]

Way to go boys!

Hey, Burke!

What the hell are
you doing here?

Tommy sent me.

He thought you might
need an extra gun.

Obviously, he was wrong.

It ain't like Tommy to change
places at the last minute.

[briefcase snaps echo]
Two against six.

On paper those are pretty
stiff odds. Don't you think?

I don't know.
I don't like the smell of this.

Hey look.

How else would I know what you
were doing unless Tommy told me.

Well, why don't we call Tommy
and ask him?

You know that's probably
a good idea.

[gun trigger clicks]
Why don't we?

You shoot Mike, I shoot you.

[Pete] Tommy still
gets the goods.

[Rico chuckles]

I guess we got ourselves
a situation here, huh?

[Cop 1] Freeze!

[Mike] Does it look like
anyone's moving over here,

you asshole? Huh?
[laughs]

[Cop 2] Drop your weapons!

[Rico] Oh yeah!
Like that's gonna happen!

Joey!

[Cop 1] That's good son!
Now, move away from the others.

[gunshots]

[gunshots continue]

[Joey groaning]

-[Rico] Let's see.
-How does it look?

Looks like it went in and out.
How does it feel?

It hurts! How the hell
do you think it feels?

Look at me Joe.

[Rico] Okay. You're alright.
I'm gonna get you out.

Come on, let's go.

[Joey groans]

Every time I get a real job
I get shot.

-Let's see we got here Joey.
-[Joey moaning]

[Joey] Come on...

[Rico] Joey, wait here.

Just hang on, alright?

-Okay, you ready? Here we go.
-[Joey groaning]

[Rico] Now, we're out of here.

[Rico] We'll stop as soon as we
put some distance behind us.

We should call Tommy.

Yeah right. That's one thing
we're not doing.

Why not?

[Rico] Cause, in case you ain't
figured it out we just fucked up

one of Tommy's jobs and took
something that he probably

thinks belongs to him right now.

[Joey] But they belong to Tommy,
don't they?

Hey, don't they?

No. Belongs to us. I thought you
would've figured that out.

Damn it, Rico! What did you go
and have to do that for?

[Rico] It was a way to get out
from underneath him

with a means of living decently.
How many times are we gonna get

a shot at money like this, huh?

[Joey] You could've at least
let me in on it!

Oh yeah! And you would've
went for it?

No fucking way! It's suicide!

Brothers are supposed to
look out for one another.

You just sent us
a death sentence.

Thanks a lot!

You got things twisted,
little brother.

Yeah? What do you
call lying to me?

There was no reason
to screw Tommy!

Tommy's been good to us!

Tommy's been good to us?

-Tommy's been good to us?
-Yeah!

Tommy's never done shit for us!

[Joey moans]

[Rico] He's treated me like
a piece of shit since I first

started working for him,
and you worse!

You wanna know something? You
wanna know about those handouts?

They didn't come from Tommy,
they came out of my pocket!

-Bullshit!
-He never gave you a dime!

He never asked about you
once after you got shot.

You know that? Running his
own back alley casino

-and he never asked once!
-[Joey crying]

Don't tell me what a bust out
guy Tommy C is.

He's a lowlife cocksucker.
He's always been!

-It just took me too long-
-[Joey] Shut up!

[loud slapping]
Hey, take it easy! Calm down!

You're acting like a kid,
you know that?

That's why I could never
talk to Tommy about you.

-Shut up!
-I'm warning you!

I'm warning you!
[loud punch]

[Rico] Why do you make
me do that? Huh?

Why can't you take it easy?

-[Joey whimpers]
-I'm sorry, alright.

-Look, I'm sorry.
-[Joey crying]

[Joey] What are we
going to do now, Rico?

[Rico] Survive.

That's one thing I know
how to do is survive.

[soft jazz music]

Looks like somebody was here
with bad intentions.

Oh, yeah, definitely
very bad intentions.

Numb nuts, you wanna
close that door?

Check out those two guys.

[Trask grunts]

Well, Jerry.

You are not looking too good,
my friend.

[Trask sighs]

Who's that?

[Trask] My daughter.

Ah! Now that's something.

I like that. No, I respect that.

[glass shattering]
Here you are dying,

and the last thing you're
reaching for is family.

That's nice. That's very nice.

See, myself,

I would have been
reaching for something

to throw at the guy
who just shot me.

You know?

But different strokes,
different folks, right?

No!
[coughs]

What? The picture?

[Trask coughs]
Leave her alone!

Ah, Jerry come on!

if you don't like the rules,
don't play the game.

See a debt is a debt.

Now for all I know,

you have been sending
all my money to her.

[coughs]
Leave her alone!

Alright, alright, alright.

Now just tell me one thing.

Who did all of this?

Was it Rico?

Yep.

Bingo.

Well I'll be damned.

Well Rico, you never finish
anything you start.

[Trask cries out and groans]

Hey, Tommy!

Come and check this out.

[Tommy]
Well, what have we got here?

-This.
-The Del Ray warehouse.

That little scumbag.

He was planning the same
rip off as me. The nerve!

Remind me to kill him again
on the way out.

[electric drilling]

[bell clangs]

[smashing noise]

[Joey sobbing]

[Rico] Take it easy. Relax.

[man grunts]

[Rico] Okay.

Let's get a look at it now.
Okay? Just gonna look.

[Rico] Hey, hey, look at that.
Went right through.

I cut myself worse shaving Joe.

[Joey] That's not funny!

[Rico] Hey, it's bleeding,
but it's not gushing.

If it hit something serious,
you would know it.

Remember the last time, right?

[Joey] Tommy's gonna kill us.
You know that don't you?

[Rico] He has no way
of knowing it was us.

Move your hands. He has no way
of knowing it was us.

Mike and Pete are both dead,
so's Trask.

-[Joey] You killed Trask, too?
-Yeah and two of his partners.

[Joey] You're just full
of surprises tonight.

What now?

[Rico] We head out to
the Jersey shore.

Hide out with Max a day,
maybe two.

Then Mexico.

You ready?
This is gonna hurt, Joe.

[Joey screaming]

[Rico] Take it easy.
Alright, that's it.

Now listen Joe. Listen,
we got the money right?

But we got the plates too.

Until Tommy finds us.

He ain't gonna find us.

Not if we keep moving.

[Joey crying]
He has to Rico.

If Tommy doesn't do us, they're
gonna send somebody to do him.

Joe, listen to me.

One or two days,
then we're out of here.

Hold this.

Home free little brother. Okay?

Come on, it's not so bad.
You're gonna be fine.

That's it. That's it.
Try to calm down Joey.

Calm down.
Everything will be fine.

[Tommy] Listen to me,
and listen to me good.

Don't think for one second
that I've been supporting

your family all these years

just so that you could join the
force and forget all about me.

[cop] Uncle Tommy.

-I can't tell you anything.
-Come on, come on!

-Tommy...
-Hey! Look at me.

Look at me when
I talk to you.

I will fuck with your career,
big time.

Okay! Alright.

We got eight other
bodies up there.

Lou, Mike, Pete,

plus a few Koreans and a couple
of guys they haven't I.D.'d yet.

-Was Rico Burke one of them?
-Burke? No.

Alright, thanks kid.

I'll buy your mother something
really nice.

[police radio chatter]

[blues music]

-[Tommy] Angelo!
-[Angelo] Yeah?

[Tommy] Get a couple of guys.
Go over to Rico's place.

I don't think he's stupid enough
to show up, but do it anyhow.

And also his brother's.

[Angelo] You got it.

[Tommy] And go across
the street to the carpet joint.

I want this faxed to Philly,
Boston, AC, Baltimore

and any the other places where
Trask may have hung out.

Somebody there may
recognize his daughter.

-Yeah, sure thing.
-And don't lose it!

Yeah, I won't. I won't.

I'm gonna put the word out
on the wire.

Rico's gonna have to show up
sooner or later somewhere.

And I wanna know about it
when he does.

-Alright, go ahead, take off.
-You got it.

[rock music]

[Rico] Alright, I'm gonna go in
and get Max. Okay?

[Joey] I'm gonna stay here.

[blues music]

Get lost on your way
to Atlantic City?

I'm looking for Max.
Is he around?

No. You're Rico Burke,
aren't you?

Been a long time since a pretty
face recognized me.

What are you, some sort
of a sports buff?

That figures.

Well, Max talks about you a lot.

I feel like I coached
you myself.

Hey, who are you?

[Cleo] Cleo. Cleo Wynn.
I help Max out around here.

Oh yeah, how?

You know. Tending bar,
keeping books.

That sort of thing.

[Rico] You know, Max doesn't
usually take to new faces.

You must've done something
to make him trust you.

[Cleo] Listen cowboy, before
you stick your foot in it,

Max and my father go way back.

He gave me a job here so I could
earn a few bucks for school.

Hey, it's just that I've never
seen you around before. Okay?

Yeah well, I've been
here two years.

[Rico] Two years?

I guess I haven't seen
Max in a while.

Yeah, well you don't phone
or write either.

[Cleo] You're like
the son he never had.

He always did have a soft spot
for smart asses, didn't he?

Funny. He likes you.

Look, could we just skip this
and tell me where he is?

He's visiting his sister
in Baltimore.

He'll be back in the morning.

What's wrong?

Hey, look.

-I've got a bit of a problem.
-[Cleo] Problem.

Yeah, my brother Joey.
Max knows him.

He's out in the car. He's hurt.

Hurt how?

Hurt in the way that I can't
take him to a doctor.

At least not one I don't know
really well.

What do you want me to do?

If Max were here, I'd be asking
him to put me up, right now.

Well, he's not here.

Yeah, I know.
We already covered that.

You have a wonderful way of
endearing yourself to people.

Excuse me, I'm a little
high strung right now. Okay?

Look, it's just I don't think
Max would like me

letting you up to his place,
seeing he's away and all.

Hey, Come on.

It's me Bullet Burke.

Max talks about me all the time.
You said it yourself.

Come on, help me out.

Alright, alright.

It's against my better judgment,
but fine.

Take your brother up
the side stairs.

I'll meet you there.

Cleo.

I owe you one.

Hey Raphael!

Do you mind watching the bar
for me for a couple of minutes?

[Raphael] Okay.

Keep an eye on the two guys
in the corner. Alright?

Just lean on me, lean on me.

[Joey panting]

-[Joey] Oh, good! Stairs!
-[Rico chuckles]

[Rico] There we go.

[Joey] I'm feeling a lot better.

-[Joeys groans]
-[Rico] You could use some sun.

[Cleo] You sure,
he doesn't need a doctor?

[Rico] Listen, Cleo. There's
a first aid kit in the kitchen.

Could you get that please?

Listen to me.
Give me your coat.

Give me your coat. Watch out.

There we go, there we go.

You're alright.

Okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd put that foot up.

[grunts]
Hey!

You treat it like a baby's ass,
not a side of beef!

There's gratitude!

Who's the broad?

Broad? I don't see any broad!

Hey give him a break.
He's been shot. Okay?

[Joey] That's it Rico!
Don't you take any crap.

[loud slap]
Hey you shut up, huh?

What are you hitting me for?
Ain't it enough you got me shot?

[Rico]
Alright. Come on, quiet down!

We're getting off on
the wrong foot here.

Cleo, this is my brother, Joey.
Joey, this is Cleo.

She's Max's friend. Now be nice.

Pleased to meet you.

I just want to know if I should
expect the police anytime soon?

No, I don't think so.

-Somebody else then?
-No.

Would someone care to tell me
what this is all about?

Well

it all started
with a horse.

A horse.

[Rico] Yeah, a horse.
As in horse racing?

You see, Joey and I, we had in
our possession a certain

piece of information.

You mean a fix.

[Rico] Exactly.

Now, not particularly being
friends with the guys who own

the horse, we bet heavy
to drive down the odds, right?

Well, the horse race
goes off as planned,

the horse wins as planned,
blah, blah, blah.

Before you know it, the guns
come out and here we are.

[Cleo laughs]

-What?
-[Cleo] Every word of that

sounds like you made it up
as you went along.

-It's God's honest truth.
-[Cleo] Uh-huh.

So what makes you think these
guys are not going to show up?

[Rico]
Ah, you know, all that gun play,

that was just like
a heat of the moment thing.

It'll all blow over in a
couple of days.

Well, Max will be here
in the morning and then

you'll be his problem.

Meanwhile, I got a bar to run.

Is he going to be all right?

Yeah.

[Rico] In the morning,
he'll feel like dying

but he'll live.
He'll definitely live.

Hello, excuse me.
I'm in the room here.

Just shut up!
You're making it bleed.

Well, I'll knock three times
on the ceiling

-in case we're surrounded.
-[Joey] Oh, ha, ha, ha!

-Oh hey, Cleo.
-Hmm?

Thanks a lot. I mean it.

What now?

Thanks a lot, I mean it?

What's your problem, huh?

I saw the way you
were looking at her!

What are you talking about?

I thought you were gonna
knock me off the couch

with that hard-on of yours.

Hey. She's a little young
for me, don't you think?

She's young, but not that young.

You know, a lot of help you are.

Remind me next time
you get shot.

I'll just leave you there.

You can't do that!

We're brothers.

Brothers?

Next time I shoot you myself.
How's that?

[dialing tone]

[ringing]

-[Manny] Hello?
-[Rico] Manny!

-[Manny] Yeah?
-[Rico] How are you doing?

-[Manny] Good.
-[Rico] Hey, listen.

I found myself up in your neck
of the woods with something

you might find kind of
interesting.

-[Manny] Oh yeah. What is it?
-Plates.

-[Manny] Plates?
-As in 20 dollar plates.

-[Manny] Are they in good shape?
-Yeah. Top of the line.

[Manny]
Good. Call me tomorrow.

-Tomorrow?
-[Manny] Yeah, Rico. Tomorrow.

Okay, Manny.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.

[phone clicks off]

-What?
-[Rico] If he can't find someone

to take them, he's going to
take them.

Either way, with that money
and what we got man,

we've got it made!
We're set, Brother!

Hey, where are you going?

To get the briefcases, dummy.
What do you think?

[funk music]

Oh, nice hiding place.

Hey, if Tommy C shows up

these bags will be the least
of our worries.

[Joey] You got that right.

[Rico] Come on.
I'm gonna get you into bed.

Ow!

[car horn honking]

-Anything?
-Nah, nothing yet.

Well, all we can do now is wait.
That's all.

Hey, look Tommy. It's late.
Maybe we should go home.

I mean, people know where to
reach us, right?

Yeah, alright. I'll be right
there. Go ahead. You go.

Alright.

Hey, Tom.

Rico's bound to turn up
tomorrow, right?

[claps]

Yeah.

[Rico] Joe.

It's not bleeding anymore.
It'll be fine, okay?

So just try and get some rest.

-[Joey] Yeah...
-Give me that cigarette.

[Joey] No.

You know this is great,
just great!

Rico.

Rico you son of a bitch.

You scumbag!
[smashing noises]

[soft music]

Too late for a drink?

Help yourself.

How's Joey?

He's alright.

He's asleep. He'll be fine.

You know, you're pretty cavalier
about all this.

Hey, I've been around.

It doesn't help any when
you get upset.

[Cleo laughs]

You know, I kind of lied before.

I am a bit of a sports buff.

[giggles]

Believe it or not,
I still have that cover

of that big sports magazine.

[Rico chuckles]
Really?

[Cleo laughs]

Yeah.

My dad used to watch you
on the tube every Saturday.

He said you were the best
on the field.

[both laugh]

And you?

Absolutely.

Yeah, I don't know about
all that stuff.

Besides, it was a long time ago.

[Cleo] Come on, didn't you know
what you had back then?

You know, don't realize
all that stuff until after

you've made a few mistakes.

Well, you obviously haven't
learned your lesson.

What is that supposed to mean?

The story about the horse race.

[Rico] What about it?

I saw you out the window Rico.
I don't think those two

briefcases were carrying
your spare undies.

What? So I'm supposed to
tell you the truth?

Is that it?

Fine. Fine.

Joey and I ripped off some
counterfeit plates.

[Rico] In the other bag
is the buy money.

And if ya wanna know
the whole story

Joey got shot by a couple of
wise guys who had the same

idea as us. Okay,
are you happy?

Yeah, but you wound up with
the plates and the money.

I can be lucky.

I bet.

Goodnight dear.

That's right! Run away!

You were given opportunities
people like me only dream about

and you just threw them away.

Oh, that's what this
is all about.

I'm supposed to apologize to
every hard luck case I meet

because I screwed up
as a kid, huh?

No! This is about you
and what you were.

"Bullet Burke."

You know. The guy people
used to look up to.

[laughs]
And now, I'm sorry to say,

the guy that I had
a big crush on.

Goodnight.

The world don't owe you
a thing Rico.

You got to work hard to get
something out of life.

Nothing comes easy.

If there's one thing
I have learned, it's that.

Nothing comes easy.

[beads rustle]

[broom swishing]

[soft piano music]

[Rico] Hey, Max. I thought
you were visiting your sister!

[door closes]

[Max] What's this
Cleo tells me about Joey?

We were pulling a job. He got
winged by one of Tommy C's men.

Tommy C!

You got no business
being around him Rico.

He was no good from the day
he was born.

Come on Max. You know
he was hiring. I needed work.

That's no excuse.

-[Max] How's Joey?
-He'll be alright.

You call a doctor?

[Rico] No.
The wound is clean enough.

-You sure?
-Yeah, I'm sure Max.

[Max] Seeing how he's in my bed,
that leaves the floor or couch.

[thud]
And I'm not sleeping

on the floor.

You know, I think I'll sleep
on the floor.

[Max] Rico.

You can't go on like this!

I've slept on a lot of
floors, Max.

[Max] Don't be so smart!

I'm not talking about the floor.

I'm talking about
this wise guy life.

[Max] It's gonna catch up
with you sooner or later.

Max, I just had this
conversation with the girl

downstairs. Okay?

She was right.

[Rico] And like I told her,
it's over, man!

Me and Joey have enough money
to start a whole new life, Max.

Dirty money!

Don't you think Tommy C's
gonna come after you?

It's gonna take him a long time
to figure out if we're involved.

By then we're gonna be far away.

And if he doesn't stop looking?

If he happens to find you?

I'll deal with that when,
and if, I have to.

[romantic music]

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go and apologize to
Miss Cleo, Okay?

Come on Max.
[gentle slap]

Don't be mad at me.

Mad at you?

[gentle slap]
Go on, get out of here.

Ho!

[Rico] Cleo?

I should apologize for that
stuff I said earlier.

I guess... you hit a nerve.

I guess.

Come on, don't make this any
tougher than it already is.

You know, I'm kinda new at it.

Okay. Apology accepted.

Good night.

Maybe we just got off
to a bad start.

You should give me another
chance, you know?

I've had a rotten day.

If you're going to hold a grudge
I may just throw myself into

-the ocean and drown.
-Oh, don't be melodramatic.

Melodrama was my major
before I screwed up.

-[Cleo laughs]
-Guess I'm not such a bad guy.

No. I'm just a sucker for
a nice smile.

Me too.

Where are you going?

Beach.

-The beach?
-[Cleo giggles]

Yeah, the beach.

It's dark. There's nothing
on the beach.

I know. That's why I like it.

[Cleo] I'd say it's pure luck
you could get past me

-with this football.
-[Rico laughs]

Hey, I'm Bullet Burke.
I'll leave footprints in the

back of your head.

[Cleo] You'll just have to cut
little ole me some slack.

-[Cleo] One hand touch.
-[Rico] Deal.

[soft music]

-I want to teach.
-What do you want to teach?

I want to teach kids.

That's nice.

And you go to school full time?

No. My dad's coming tomorrow.
He's got some big plans about

how he's gonna
send me full time.

[Rico] Hup!

[Cleo] Hey!

That is not fair.
You distracted me.

[Rico] That's the nature
of the game. You wouldn't

believe some of the things
I used to say to throw

the other guys off.

That's poor sportsmanship
if you ask me.

Aw, don't be a sore loser.

Well we all can't be winners
like you.

Come on Cleo. I didn't mean
anything by that!

Things are tough enough without
you making a crack like that.

Cleo! Come on!
What is all this?

[Cleo screams and laughs]

Oh, you little...

[both laughing]

Are you alright?

That's the nature
of the game, baby.

[romantic music]

[Cleo] It's late.
I'd better be getting home.

My dad's coming,
so I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll be here.

You know, I think you two will
have a lot in common.

[engine grinds]

That doesn't sound too good.

I know. It takes a couple
of tries to turn her over.

I think you better pop the hood.

[Cleo] What?
You know about cars?

Here. Get my tools,
they're in the trunk.

Uh-huh.

[Rico] What a mess.

[Cleo] So you never said.

Was it the money?

-[Rico] Oh, in college?
-[Cleo] Yeah.

[Rico] Nah. I didn't care much
about that stuff then.

In fact,

after my mom died, I stopped
caring about everything.

Sometimes things get
out of control.

I know.
[laughs]

When my father lost everything
playing numbers, Mom left him

and school became a dream.

Sounds like both our dads were
"Father of the Year" candidates.

Look, don't get me wrong.

I mean the man definitely
has his faults,

but... there's one thing that
can never be said

[laughs]

and that is Jerry Trask's heart
isn't in the right place.

Jerry Tra--
Your father's name is

Jerry Trask?

Yeah. You know him?
He lives up near you.

No, I don't know him.

It's just that...

you told me your name was Wynn.

That's my mother's.

After all she's the one
that raised me.

[chuckles]
What's wrong?

I know your father, Cleo.

Really? Isn't it a small world.

[Rico] He's dead.

Dead.

Wait a minute.
[laughs nervously]

Wait a minute. I would've heard.
The police would've phoned.

It happened just
a few hours ago.

How do you know?

[Rico] The counterfeit plates.

He was part of the set up
before it went bad.

I don't believe you!
He never would have been

-involved with stuff like that.
-No. It's true, Cleo.

He was doing it for you.
All he ever talked about

was doing right by you.
I swear to God. There's...

How?

How did it happen?

Tommy C. The same guy
responsible for Joey.

Get away from me.

Cleo!

Cleo, what are you doing?

You don't understand Tommy.

You're blood. He's gonna hold
you responsible for the debt.

[Cleo yells] Save it, Rico!
I don't want anything to do

-with your world.
-He's gonna turn your world

-upside down!
-[Cleo yelling] I said, save it!

Come with me and Joey to Mexico.

[laughing]
Oh God. Are you for real?

It's not safe for
you here, Cleo!

-Listen to me!
-You get the fuck away from me!

Where are you going, huh?
Cleo?

[Cleo] Somewhere you can't.
Atlantic City.

Atlantic City!
Cleo, they know my car!

What's the matter with you.
This isn't going to work!

[engine grinds]
[Rico]Cleo!

[Rico] get out of the--

Cleo! Listen to me.
They know my car!

Cleo!

[blues guitar music]

So, did you win or lose tonight?

What's it to you?

[laughing]
Hey, I just get concerned.

See a pretty young lady
walking along,

looking like her dog
just got shot.

Well, I don't have a dog.

Just trying to make
conversation.

A little talk, a little
less gambling

might've saved your old man.

[laughs]
Life's funny, ain't it?

I mean first they come by
and give me your picture.

Next thing I know, bang!
You're walking by the hotel.

[Cleo cries out]

Listen. Don't make this hard.

There's someone in New York
who wants to talk to you.

-[Cleo gasps]
-[stranger] That's all.

[Rico] Psst!

[Rico] Psst!

[gunshot]

[Cleo] Rico!
[gunshot]

Cleo, jump!

[Rico whispers] Come on.
Keep your head down.

[gunshots continue]

[suspenseful music]

[Rico] Hang on! Hang on!

-[Rico] You got the keys?
-Yeah.

-Start the car. Come on!
-Aw, great!

[thug] Nice work, Burke!

Like you weren't in
enough fucking trouble!

[gunshots]

[car horn honking]

[glass shatters]

[tires squealing]

[Cleo]
Don't say I told you so.

Well I did, didn't I?

[gunshots continue]

[screeching tires]
[horns honking]

[screeching tires continue]

Locking the trunk
would have been nice.

I did, but I don't think car
chases were high on

the designer's priority list.

[gunshots]

[crashing noise]

[loud explosions]

What are you doing?

Going through the window!

-No!
-Hey, relax!

[Rico]
No! Cleo! No! No! No!

[Cleo screams]
[glass shattering]

Where did you learn to
drive like this?

Beginner's luck.

Great.

[crashing noises]
[tires squealing]

[loud explosion]

[gunshots]

[loud punch]

[crashing noise]

[glass shatters]

Women drivers!

[birds chirping]

[Angelo] Thanks a lot!

[Tommy]
The cab that just pulled away?

Oh that.
The heap finally broke down.

Where's your car?

The wife wanted it again.
I told her no, but she got mad.

She got mad? What are you a man
or a mouse?

[Angelo]
Hey, what can I do?

[Tommy]
Hey, I knew you were stupid.

I just didn't think you
were a wuss too!

[Tommy] Let's go.

[engine starts]

[Angelo] Where to?

[Tommy] Atlantic City.

Atlantic City?

Tommy, I told the wife I'd be
home for lunch.

[Tommy]
What is it with you and food?

What? I like to eat.

[Tommy] I can see that.

[Angelo] What's so important
in A.C. anyhow?

[Tommy] Rico was spotted
with Trask's daughter.

They were running around
like Bonnie and Clyde.

[Angelo] Rico, huh?
Maybe he went down to visit Max.

What?

Max. You know, the old high
school coach?

[Tommy] Yeah, I remember
the old geezer. What about him?

Well, he owns a bar
near Atlantic City.

Rico used to visit him down
there all the time.

They're real tight.

You knew this all along?

Yeah, I guess.

-Stop the car.
-Huh?

Stop the fucking car!

What?

You are a piece of work.
You know that?

What did I do now?

What did you do now?
Last night I'm climbing walls

trying to find Rico and today
you just pop up out of the blue

and you tell me maybe he went
down to see Max?

Huh?

Well, I didn't know
it was that important!

Get out of the car.

Get out?

Get out of the fucking car!

How am I supposed to get home?

Walk!

Maybe the exercise will
do you good.

[Tommy] You fat tub of shit.

[phone dialing]

[phone rings]

-[Nick] Hello?
-[Tommy] Yeah. Hello Nick.

-Yeah, it's Tommy C.
-[Nick] Yeah, Tommy.

[Tommy] Listen, you got
a joint down there owned by

a guy named Max. It's around
your neighborhood.

-Do you know it?
-[Nick] Yeah.

[Tommy] You do?
Hold on, hold on a sec, wait.

-Okay. Shoot.
-[Nick] Sea Coaster Lounge.

[Tommy]
The Sea Coaster Lounge.

Now where is that?
How do I get there?

[Tommy] Okay.
Yeah, I know where that is.

-[Nick] On the north side.
-[Tommy] Yeah. No problem.

[Tommy] Thanks a lot.
Okay, Nicky, bye-bye.

[Tommy whistles]
Get in the car!

You just threw me out.

Get in the car!

-We still going to Jersey?
-Yeah.

-[Angelo] Atlantic City?
-It's near there.

[Angelo]
Maybe we can check out a show?

Shut up and drive the car.
Do me a favor. Go.

[seagulls cawing]
[soft music]

Cleo?

Look.

I only got a couple of hours
to get rid of these plates

then it's really gonna
hit the fan.

You seriously have to consider
coming away with me.

Go by yourself.
I'll give you the money.

But you can't stay here
any longer.

Mexico you said.

[Angelo]
Honey, honey. I don't know.

I don't know. We're still about
an hour from where we're going.

[Angelo's wife]
How long is it gonna be?

I don't know how long.

[Angelo]
We got business to take care of.

[Angelo] Yeah, business!

[Angelo's wife]
When are you coming home?

Maybe tonight.
Maybe tomorrow.

[Angelo] I don't know when!
I don't know!

Listen, honey. He just told you.
He has business to take care of.

End of conversation.
Have a nice day.

Aw Tommy, now she's really gonna
be mad at me.

[Tommy] Hey,
you know what your problem is?

You didn't break your wife
in right. You know that?

You have to learn to keep
your woman in line.

And how do you do that?

[Tommy] You have to play
a good cop, bad cop kinda thing.

You understand?

But you have to know when to hit
them and when not to.

Come on Tommy,
I don't wanna hit her.

[Tommy] Hey, suit yourself.

I'm telling you, that every once
in a while, when they act up,

a couple raps up the side of the
head straightens them right out.

-I don't know about that.
-[Tommy] Hey, trust me.

I know about marriage.
I am on my third one.

[pigeons cooing]
[birds chirping]

Cleo tells me you invited her
to go to Mexico with you.

Yeah. She has to go, Max.

Tommy'll never leave her alone.

Jerry never wanted her mixed up
in that part of his life.

Yeah, I know.

She goes with you...

she's in deeper.

I'll take care of her.
I'll make sure she's okay.

You've been taking care of
people all your life, Rico.

Your mother...

your kid brother.

Yeah, well somebody had to.
Right?

[Max] I know.

And you did
a pretty good job of it.

But you keep on like this
and you're going to end up

just like your old man.

[Rico]
I'll never be like him.

I would never
walk out on my family.

[Max]
It's not what I'm saying.

Just don't
let the anger eat you up.

[soft piano music]
[pigeon coos]

Max if something happens
and I'm not back

-in an hour or two--
-you always come back.

Just like these guys.

Yeah, but if I don't,

there's a briefcase under your
couch with a lot of money in it.

Part of the job that got
Jerry killed?

Yeah.

I want you to make sure
Cleo gets that. Okay?

[soft piano music continues]

[Rico] Manny.
I know I got people pissed.

[Manny] Those plates are hot.

Yeah, I know they're hot.

[Manny] Guys will kill me
because those plates are hot.

[Rico]
Why do you think I'm giving you

such a screaming deal, huh?

[Manny] Those plates are worth
a little money Rico.

So come on,
do you want them or not?

[Manny]
Okay, you know where to meet me.

Okay, I'll see you soon.

[spinning noise]

[blues guitar music]

[knocking]

-Manny.
-Hey Rico!

Nice to see you again.

Come in.

So, here we are.

What's under your collar, Manny?

[Manny] What do you mean?

You look pale.

Oh, I had some bad shellfish
for lunch. It's been killing me.

I bet.

So, are those the plates?

Yep.

Mind if I use the john first?

No, no. Not at all.

You can leave the briefcase...

if you like.

[spinning noise]

Show time, Bullet.

-Let's do it.
-Sure.

The money?

[Rico] Well, open it.
Come on, open it.

[briefcase clicks]

Tell me something.
Why are there two cars

with New York plates parked
in front of two dark rooms?

Hmm? They can't both be sleeping
and the hookers ain't out yet.

[chuckles nervously]

[punching]
[Manny yells]

[crashing noise]
[gunshots]

[trigger clicks]

[shatters]

Keep your hands
where I can see them!

[Rico] Do it, Manny!

Don't, don't kill me. Please!

I ought to blow your brains out.
It'd be my right.

[Manny] The plates.

You're not taking them?

So I can walk into another
setup? No thanks.

I came for money.
That's all I'm taking.

[Tommy]
Here come the judge!

Joey, Joey.

You have no idea how glad
I am to see you.

[Tommy] Hey coach.
It's been a long time, huh?

You two!

On the floor, now.

Move! Put your hands
behind your back.

[Tommy]
Don't you move a hair.

Now, I suppose you would
be Jerry Trask's kid, uh?

Yeah, and I suppose you're
the prick that killed him.

Who, me?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Rico told you I killed him,
didn't he, huh?

[chuckles]

[Tommy] Now that's rich.

You and me are gonna have to
have a little talk...

later.

Now, listen.

I'm not gonna sit here and blow
smoke up your ass, people.

Rico has got certain items
that I want.

And I'm not going to rest
until I get them.

Now the question is...

who's gonna help me find them?

You, Joey?

Go fuck yourself, Tommy.

[Tommy] You know,
I don't think you people--

[punching noise]
realize just how serious I am!

Listen, Tommy.

Don't do anything stupid
in front of so many people.

You know, that's the wonderful
thing about witnesses.

[gunshots]
[man groans]

you can be... erased.

[snaps finger]
Like that.

Now, who's gonna talk to me, eh?

Who?

[knife clicks]

Oh, Angelo,
look what we have here.

[Tommy] The Mexican
cavalry to the rescue.

Hey, Taco!

Is that the way they do things
down south, south of the border?

They hear gunshots and they come
running with a knife.

That's terrific. Very bright.

What's the matter?

Oh I see.
[gunshot]

[thump]
Screw him.

Probably didn't even have
a Green Card.

You're lucky I didn't call
immigration on you!

[Max]
You were always a low life punk.

Now you're just
a murdering scumbag.

You know at first,
your attitude was amusing.

But now,

you're starting
to piss me off.

[gunshot]
[thump]

[Cleo cries out]
Max!

[yells]
I'm gonna get you!

[glass shatters]
[punching]

I told Rico you
were a gimp!

-[Joey groans]
-You and your brother, huh?

You went way over the line
this time, didn't you?

You think you can fuck with me
and get away with it?

-Nobody fucks with me. Nobody!
-[Joey groans]

-What is this?
-[Joey whimpering]

It looks like we caught one
somewhere down the line, huh?

Alright, where's Rico?

Where's the plates?
Where's the money?

Answer me!

I'll make that wound
look like a paper cut!

You better answer me!

I ain't gonna tell you dick!

You came at me with a bottle...
[glass shatters]

now it's my turn.

[jabbing noise]
[Joey groans]

[Joey whimpers]

Ballsy little bastard, you!

Angelo.

Search this place from top to
bottom. Start upstairs!

[Tommy] The odds are ten to 1,
you're gonna find the pay money.

-[Tommy] Go ahead.
-[Angelo] Yeah, sure.

[Tommy] Now, Miss.

I think it's time you
and I had that little talk

about your father and Rico.

[truck engine]

[Angelo] Hold it, Rico!

Don't try anything funny!
I swear to God I'll kill you!

[trigger clicks]

You really think
you got it in you, Angelo?

[Angelo] Try something funny
and you'll find out.

Now, move!

I admit, Tommy ain't
the nicest guy in the world.

But doing what you did?

That's just suicidal man.

[Rico] I'll never understand why
you keep backing him up, Angelo.

You know, you're the last guy
in the world who should be

-looking out for Tommy C.
-What are you talking about?

Come on! Wise up!

All those dopey runs to the
track he sends you on?

What do you think he's doing
when you're gone Angelo, huh?

[Angelo] Well I don't know,
but I'm sure you're gonna

-tell me, right?
-[Rico] Hey, I hate to be

the one to gossip,
but more than one person

has seen Tommy's car
parked in front of your house.

-Hey, screw you Rico!
-No, screw your wife!

-That's what Tommy's doing.
-Shut up!

Just imagine his greasy
little paws all over her body.

Doesn't that drive you nuts,
Angelo?

I swear, Rico, I'll fucking
shoot you. Now, shut up!

No, you won't because Tommy
wants me alive. Right, Angelo?

Don't be so sure about that.

[Rico] Just imagine
Tommy hammering her.

She's riding him. Oh what a--
[loud punch]

Fuck you! Fuck you!

[loud punch]
[Angelo groans]

[stabbing noise]
[Angelo grunts]

[loud thud]

[eerie music]

[door crashes]
[trigger clicks]

[Tommy]
Rico! Come in and join us!

I guess Angelo didn't make it.

Where's Joey?

[Tommy] Joey, huh?

The last time I saw Joey he
was...

he was at the end of the bar

fighting with a bottle.

[gunshots]

[glass shattering]

[Rico sobbing]
Oh, Joey.

Oh Joey. Look at you.

Joey...

This my fault.

This is all my fault!

Max.

Max!

Please... help me!

-[trigger clicks]
-Fuck you, Rico!

[Tommy cries out]

[suspenseful music]

[grunts and gasps]

[Rico] Cleo, come on.
We're out of here.

[Cleo] You killed my father.

-Cleo.
-[Cleo] Don't deny it!

And don't lie!

[Rico]
I didn't know who he was.

I didn't know you.

You killed him and you weren't
even going to tell me.

How?

How could I tell you something
like that?

[Rico] I'm sorry, baby.

If I could take
the bullet myself, I would.

[gunshot]
[Rico groans]

[coughs and groans]

Cleo, I never meant to hurt you.
