Removal (2010) - full transcript

It's nothing you did
or didn't do.

Believe me,
the last thing I want...

is to be letting you go
like this.

It's just that it's a rough time
for everyone.

People get scared.

They get scared
and they pull out their money.

Well, did he say something
about me?

Is that what this is all about?

No, he didn't give a reason.

Can somebody tell me...

just exactly how the fuck
something like this happens?



- Language.
- Yeah, Jesus.

Shit, man, take it easy.

Don't tell me
to take it easy, Todd.

This isn't happening to you.
It's happening to me.

I'm sorry,
but what's done is done.

What are you saying to me?

I'm saying what's done is done.

Mom!

Don't say anything.

I just need you
to come over here...

right away.

Hello?

No one is available
to take your call.

Please leave a message
after the tone.



Kershe?

Yeah, back here.

Oh good, it's you.

It's nice to see you, Cole.

The door was open and I...

Yeah yeah, good.
Come.

Come on in.

Sorry.
I don't have any clothes on.

Everything has just become
such a goddamn mess lately.

And I never have been
very good at housekeeping.

- Kershe, put the gun down.
- I'm not finished with it.

But I don't want you
to worry about that, Cole.

This is strictly
a family affair.

You know?

I'm gonna call somebody.

No no no, don't.

Can we just...

Can we just sit here

Together for a minute...

You and me?
And...

you know
what my problem is, Cole?

I always tried to do
everything myself...

never wanted any help
from anybody.

I thought that made me strong,

But I've been
a very weak man, Cole...

very weak.

The truth is,
the only real strength...

is knowing
you can't do it alone.

So I really want to thank you,

because I don't think
I could have done this by myself.

Anyway,

it's getting late...

and I know you've...

you've got things to do, so...

so...

away we go.

I've been in this...
This bin...

for the last 30 days.

I'm happy as hell to be getting
out of here. That's for sure.

Excited to get back
with my family,

pick up right where we left off.

And you feel
that you're ready for that?

Ready as I'll ever be.

It's true you've made some pretty
significant progress.

And we've been talking
a lot about...

how he plans on staying busy
out there.

Out there?
Christ, you make it sound...

like I am parachuting
behind enemy lines.

Do you expect to find
many enemies when you leave here?

No, that's...
That's not what I meant.

I...

I have a job lined up.

Are you at all concerned
about your ability

To manage the hallucinations?

They're hallucinations.

That means they're not real,

so no problemo.

I'll take my meds.

I promise, okay?

Okay?

Jennifer, I'm seeing something
going on for you right now.

Do you want to tell us about it?

It's...

it's been...
it's just been a lot.

And I don't know,

I guess I just don't feel
very comfortable with you.

Say that to him.

I'm sorry,

Am I missing something here?

It's... It's just...

I'm sorry, I...

I don't feel safe
with you anymore.

What?

You've just...

You're not...

I just... I think
you need more help.

Given the particulars
of your condition,

In addition to the added stress

Of a recent trauma,

we believe that the work
you've done with us...

is only the beginning
of what will be...

a considerably longer process
of rehabilitation.

How much longer?

We're recommending that you
undergo an additional 60 days.

At $1000 a day.

The cost of treatment
is the cost of treatment.

The question is,
are you prepared...

to pay the price of leaving
before you are ready?

- It's not gonna happen.
- As you both know,

legally we can't keep you here.

This is merely our attempt
to do everything we can...

to protect your well-being
and the well-being of your family.

My family is fine.

Nothing is gonna happen.

It's not gonna happen.

Today's the big day, huh?

Huh.
Yes.

Yes, it is.

Oh, and these are
for you as well.

Use only as directed
on the label.

No mixing with alcohol.

Right.

You need me to call you a cab?

No, that's okay.

My wife is going to be
picking me up out front.

Here's your iced tea.

Oh, thank you.

What's that?

I said, "oh, thank you".

You're very welcome.

Yeah, Mike, I'm done.

Yeah, I'm just finishing up
and driving away,

So punch me out for the day.

Hold it, Cole.
A call just came in.

I need you to go out
and take a look.

Write the guy an estimate,
get the paperwork going.

Come on, man.

I've worked a double
every day this week.

I'm off. Just get
Paul or Terry to do it.

They're both doing an office job.
You're all I got.

I'm telling you,
I'm freakin' exhausted.

I'm literally seeing double.

I just want to get home
and sleep for like 17 hours.

Go out there, walk around.

Scribble some shit
on the contract.

You'll be back
in the city by 6:00.

- Where is it?
- It's out in Haybrook.

Haybrook?
Fuck, Mike.

I'll bump you up 10%
on the commission.

Shit.

In 2/10 of a mile...

turn right onto
Cheswick Park road.

Fuck you, lady.

Fuck you and Mike,
for sending me out...

in the middle of
goddamn nowhere.

Hola.

Hello? I'm here with
Mahoney's carpet & floors.

I'm here for the floors.

Can you...
can you buzz me in?

Hola.

Hi there. I'm here to take a look
at your floors.

No comprendo.

- You don't speak english?
- No.

I don't even know how to say
"Spanish" in Spanish.

To the ear.

Not even to the ear.

Yes, over to the ear.

Oh, to the rear.

You want me to meet you
around back?

Adios.

Okay.

For the... The...
The tracks.

Thank you.

S?.

Aqua, por favor.

So you want me
to just wait here then?

Hey, right here?

I can't very well
show a house...

and leave off the master suite.

Then try asking nicely.

Henry, you're being
completely ridiculous.

What's completely ridiculous...

is that I've never taken you
to my bedroom.

How about we move this
to my office...

where I can ply you
with alcohol...

and see where it goes
from there?

What about your wife?

She's not in there either,
but you're getting warmer.

The mister... He comes.

- I'll meet you in there...
- Bye.

...in 20 seconds or less.

- Are you the guy?
- Yeah.

Yeah, of course you are.
You're also late.

Sorry, I came from
another job in the city.

That's not my problem.
Where is your... Your gear?

Well, usually I survey
the job first,

then I find out
what gear I need...

and I go out to my van
and get it...

a little system
I got worked out.

- How's that working out for you?
- So far so good.

I'm sure this is
just the beginning...

of a long and
fascinating conversation...

Chock-full of the crude
jargon of your profession.

Unfortunately, I am
engaged at the moment.

So why don't you
show yourself around?

And I'll get to you when I can.

Cool.

I mean, awesome.

So did you do it?

Did I do what, Kirby?

Henry, I know
that for guys like you...

the established rules
of the game don't apply,

but for the rest of us who have to
scrape it down here at the bottom,

The situation is a bit more...

How can I put this?
Serious.

Stop it. You're breaking
my goddamn heart.

Where is she?

- Who?
- Your wife.

Oh right, that.

Well, she was here,
but now she's not.

She's at her book club.
It's a long book club.

They... They talk about
a long book.

And it's really far away.

So she's not gonna be back
until later...

Much much later,

So late in fact that she might
never come back again...

and you and I
can just live here together.

Henry, as much as you want
this cat-And-Mouse thing

To turn me on,
it really doesn't.

I think I got over
rich bad boys...

when I was about 20,

and rich married guys
when I was about 25.

You and I are in a
business relationship,

that's all.

Now I've worked my ass off
for the last eight years...

to get where I am today,
and I'm not about to fuck that up.

You'd better try
another eight years...

'cause you still have
a really...

When was she here?

An hour ago.

Oh really?

No, not really.

I can't lie to you.

But when she wasn't here,
she did sign that thing

That you've been wanting
her to sign so badly.

Where is that...
Hello... Thing?

This is her signature?

I think you can see
it's not mine.

So no one sees her
for over a week...

and then she just pops in
and signs something...

that, from what you tell me,
would send her over a fucking cliff,

and then swings out
to discuss literature?

That's the story
I'm going with, sure.

You do realize
that forging a signature...

on a legal document
is a federal offense?

Please cuff me.

I'm going to ask you
one more time:

Where is your wife,

So I can contact her
and get her to sign?

Beats the hell out of me.

To tell you the truth,
I don't even know why I'm here.

The floors look like
they were done last week.

So do it again.

- Come on, Mike.
- Run a spot check on it.

The guy called for an estimate...
Give him an estimate.

- Who is this guy?
- How the fuck should I know?

- He's not exactly in my social circle.
- Right.

Speaking of social,
are you gonna finally bring...

your mystery family
to my house on sunday...

or is it just gonna be
you again?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, and as for the wife,
you'd have better luck...

spotting a fucking
California condor.

Yeah, probably,
like chopped her up...

and mailed her to the newspaper
in like 43 packages.

Hello?

- I guess we could show it tomorrow.
- You there?

Yeah, about 9:00 am.
Okay, okay, bye.

- Can I help you?
- I'm just here to look at the floors.

Well, then you'd best get inside,
because that's where the floors are.

Hello?

Yeah, I just came from there.

Who are you talking to?
Hello?

Are you there?

Yeah, Mike.
Consider it done.

Punch me out in 15.

Have a nice weekend.

Asshole.

- It's a hell of a place you got here.
- I know.

- So are you coming or going?
- Is that really any of your business?

All right.

So I wrote you up
an estimate here.

And I'm assuming

You're looking to have
all the rooms serviced?

Okay.

And when did you want
the work done?

Immediately...
Tonight.

Well, I'm afraid that's
not gonna be possible.

And by that you mean
what exactly?

I mean I can't do it.

It's impossible.

With an attitude like that,
it's no surprise

You're the one
holding the clipboard.

Look, a house this size,
in that amount of time...

It's a three-Man job at least.

Look, I can schedule you
for an appointment next week.

I'll bring a couple of guys,
do a beautiful job for you.

Let's try it this way:

I'm not especially interested
in what you think is possible.

I need the job done
and I don't care

If it takes you
all night to do it.

With all due respect, sir,

I guess you're
a wealthy gentleman...

What makes you think
I'm wealthy?

For starters,

Your house is a dead giveaway.

Okay, let me explain
something to you, Cole,

If that's really your name

And not the last guy
who died in that suit...

You don't pay for a house
like this with money.

You pay for it with clarity
and well-Being.

You pay for it with
an all-Consuming repulsion

Toward the concept of failure.

So when a man says to me,
"I can't do it,"

It makes me want to throw up.

And I'm glad that it does,

Because the day that I say,
"I can't do it,"

Is the day that I taste
the barrel of my shotgun.

And, well, Cole, I'm not
ready to die today.

All right, all right,
let's just take it back...

You don't seem to feel the same.

I'm prepared
to make you an offer...

$5000

To complete the job
yourself, tonight.

First of all, all billing goes
through the office, so I can't...

I'm talking about $5000
in cash in your hand.

That's in addition to whatever
I am charged by your company.

Sir, that is a very generous offer,
but the truth is...

I'm coming off 5 straight days
of double shifts...

and this is
a 3-man job at least.

And I specifically asked
for one man.

Are you trying to tell me
I didn't even get that much?

What I'm trying to tell you is

After a week like this
I'm a liability.

I'm insured.

I can't do it.

Asshole.

You...

I can't believe
you're asking me to leave.

I just...

I don't think
it's good for Sammy.

I've already started
the process...

and all I ask is
that you don't fight me on it.

This is crazy.

You know that?

This is really crazy.

I'm not gonna take everything.

I'm gonna leave
some of my stuff here.

I assume that's all right?

It's fine.

Sammy's game on sunday...

I suppose I'm not
welcome there either.

Look, what do you want from me?

Honestly, I just want you
to get better

And start supporting this
family like you used to.

Jesus christ.
Clean this up.

Fuck.

Hello?

Hello.

Just a second.

Forget something?

No, I...
I had to make a...

I went to...

Come on, you can do it.

I made a few calls and
rearranged a few things.

You... I think
you said $5000.

Do you have $5000 in cash?

What do you think?

Is it here?

Wouldn't offer it to you
if it wasn't.

Can I see it?

Oh, let's not cheapen
the moment.

We have an agreement or what?

Yeah. Cool.

If you don't mind me asking,
what's the rush?

I do mind you asking.

What in god's name
do these people eat?

Look at you.

You look like you got
something up your ass, sir.

What you got up there?

You hiding something

Up that rich gold-Plated
ass of yours,

You golden ass?

Hello?

Hello?

You've reached
the Sharpe residence.

Please leave a detailed message
at the sound of the tone...

and someone will get back to you
as soon as they can.

Hi Susan. It's Liz.

Where are you?

You missed the last two
book club meetings,

And I'm just calling to check
if everything's okay.

I left a message
on your cell also.

I don't know what's up,
so please call me back.

Oh, and we're reading
Death of a Salesman for next week.

- I told amy that was a play, but whatever.
- A book club, huh?

Okay, call me back.

Are you feeling any better?

Jesus. I wish.

You can't keep doing
this to yourself.

I know.

I just...

It's just a really
bad time for me.

You are not the only one.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just
really not okay.

You're just not the same.

You need help.

I know.

Tell me we're gonna be
able to work this out.

I think we just should talk
about that another time.

Even if you don't think so,

Just do me a favor

And fake it for a second.

Who's here?

There's no one here.
Where?

In the house.

Seriously?

Come on.

There's someone in here.

There's no one here.

There's no one here.
Please just relax.

Just lay down and relax, okay?

- Who's here?
- There's no one here. Lay down, relax.

- There's no one here.
- There's someone coming up the stairs.

- There's no one here. Just stop it.
- Where's Sammy?

- Get away from the door.
- Stop it. Stop.

Damn it.

Mom, what was that noise?

Jesus christ, I really don't know
how much more of this I can take.

It's locked.

Oh yeah.

I... I thought you...

You did?
Good for you.

But I'm not paying you
to think, am I?

I'm paying you
to clean the place.

No, I just thought
you wanted all the rooms...

Okay, cool.

Well, I'm just about done here,

So I'm gonna go ahead and...

okay okay okay.

Take it easy, guy.
Take it easy.

I'm just giving you a hard time.

Yeah, I know.

It's okay.

You feel all right, guy?

'Cause you look a little...

What's the word?
Wasted.

Huh?
No, I'm good.

Yeah?

You good?
That's what...?

So this is what good
looks like these days?

'Cause I'm real good too.

You look it.
You're fit.

I feel real clean...

Nothing on me.
You know what I mean?

Yes, I do.
I sure do.

- I bet you do.
- Hey, that's my job.

So listen,

Have we met before?

No, I don't think so.

No?

No.

'Cause you look...

You look real familiar to me.

You know who you remind me of?

You look exactly like the guy

Who came here last week,

Cleaned the shit
out of my septic tank...

same exact uniform.

Thanks.

Well, unless there's
anything else,

I'm gonna just load up
my rig and...

Yeah...

you think you could give me
a hand with something?

Yeah sure.
What is it?

It's in the garage.

It's a little awkward.

I left my keys in the house.

I told her that people
who use the ring...

that comes with the phone
deserve to die.

I must have told her 50 times...

if she doesn't change that ring,
I'm gonna lose my mind.

Did she change the ring?
She didn't.

All right, let's get these
fuckers up in the car.

One, two, three.

All right, this one's heavy.

Lift with your back.

One, two, three.

What the fuck are you doing?

Nothing. I just...

Well, then stop just breathing
and get your fucking end up.

Jesus christ.

Sorry, I gotta make a call.

- Just shut up the fuck up a second, okay?
- I'm tired.

Just meet me
in the kitchen, guy.

Hey, Jen, it's me.

It's Cole again.

Um, I just thought
I'd try you again.

Yep,

I... I don't know,

I just was calling to...

I'd love to hear your voice
right now, that's all.

Um, I just wanted you to know

I've been taking my meds

Just like the doctor
wanted me to and...

Anyhow,

I'll talk to you later.
Just give me a call back.

Love you both.
Bye.

Turns out...

the only real strength...

is knowing
you can't do it alone.

Just sit anywhere.

I opened a few bottles
just to let them breathe a little.

Sam...
that's my son's name.

Huh?

Sam... isn't that
your son's name?

Oh yeah.

Small world.

So that's a rabbit.

It's formerly a rabbit.

Now it's just rabbit.

And we're gonna eat it.

Francis Ford Coppola, my ass.

Who?

Nobody.
He's nobody.

Here, try this.

No, that...
that's all right.

No? What, are you sober?
Don't tell me you're sober.

No, it's...

medications then?

Are you depressed, Cole, upset?

Yeah right.

Oh sure.
Why the hell not?

Well, that's one way to do it.

Chateau maison ledoux, 1965.

Susan's favorite.

Susan... Is that
your wife?

Maybe I shouldn't be
drinking this.

She had her chance.

You know what?
To I'd, huh?

May she rot in a special circle
of hell...

reserved just for miserable,
blood-sucking cunts like her.

Is she out of town, away?

I mean, for a while?

Something like that.

So what about you, guy?

Married,

Fucking everything
that moves, or both?

No, I'm married.

Or I was married.

Just didn't work out.
It's nobody's fault.

It's just one of those things.

Well, it sounds to me

Like you found out
a little too late

That she prefers black guys.

You know, we went through
therapy and all the rest.

I guess she just decided
it was over.

Of course, I was the last
one to know, right?

Turns out it's like a band-Aid.

You just gotta take it off
with one clean move...

just like that.
Just...

You know, I was going through
some really bad things.

And isn't the whole thing
with marriage...

that you help out
the other person...

richer or poorer,
sickness and health and all that?

There was this time
where I really needed her help,

but nope,
she just couldn't do it.

Then all of a sudden
the person...

who's on your side...

is leading the charge
against you.

Funny how that changes so fast.

I used to think a strong man

Should be able to do
everything himself.

The truth is,
the only real strength

Is realizing that
you can't do it alone.

I'll drink to that.

Yeah,

Susan... She's all right,
I guess.

The truth is, my wife and I...

Don't you want to get that?

Hey, the things
I want to do, I do.

The things I don't want
to do, I don't do.

You've reached
the Sharpe residence.

Please leave a detailed message
at the sound of the tone...

and someone will get back to you
as soon as they can.

So you still want to settle up?

Jesus.

Fuck it.

Let's go take care
of some business.

What did I say?
$5000?

The money I've offered you
is to help you forget...

what you're about to see
on the other side of these doors.

Do you understand that?

Yeah.

Well, okay, let's have
a look inside then.

Here we have the master suite.

Go ahead.

You're a professional man, Cole.

I'll give you 500 bucks

If you can name that stench.

Yeah, some...

it's piss.

It's dog piss,

If you want to be
precise about it.

Yeah, Susan had
this little fucking dog.

And I swear
it was put on this earth

For the sole purpose
of pissing on my house.

But I took care of that bitch.

I took care of
the little dog too.

Yeah.

Things got a little
out of hand, I guess.

Oh, but don't worry.
It's...

It's wine.

Mostly it's wine.

I'd say pardon the mess,

But the mess is
what I'm most proud of.

Does your wife know that...?

What?
That I killed her shit?

She's got bigger problems
than that right now.

Either that
or no problems at all,

depending on how you look at it.

Oh right.

I forgot to show you the best part.
Come here.

Come on, check it out.

Lady's powder room.

In all fairness, you know,
I took the idea from Susan.

When we were first together,
she used to write me

These messages in her lipstick.

I used to pretend to like it.

Shit, I might have actually
liked it, for a while.

But then it started to seem,

I don't know,
kind of cheap to me,

like something
a hooker would do.

Lady's powder room.
Just once I'd like to hear...

one of these real estate people
call it what it is...

"and here's the room
where the lady of the house..."

will take most of her shits...

Not all of her shits,
'cause she'll probably take...

one or two shits
in a downstairs bathroom,

just to keep the staff
on their toes".

And that's important,

because if I walk into
a bathroom in this house...

and the toilet paper roll
is not folded...

to a perfect point like that...

If it's not folded to a perfect point
like that,

I'm gonna lose my mind.

Do you see that?

You see that?

You see that little guy
right there?

As long as I have that,
everything's perfect.

You see that?

Now let me ask you
something, guy:

Is that
the toilet paper roll point...

of a man who just killed
his wife and kid?

- What?
- Huh?

Did you just say
you killed your wife and kid?

Shit. Did I?

Because if I did,
it was a mistake.

Because if I didn't kill them,

It'd be a mistake
to say that I did,

Because it would be false

And so a mistake.

On the other hand,
if I did kill them,

it'd be a mistake
to tell you that I did,

because then you'd know...

and I'd have to do something
about that.

And you'd want to resist
and there'd be a struggle...

and so on and so forth.
And that'd be too bad,

because I feel like
we're finally starting...

to understand each other.

Now you listen to me,
you pathetic, used-up shell.

Some people are coming here
tomorrow,

9:00 sharp,
to see this place.

And it won't do for them to see
what's gone on in here.

You read me?
It just won't do.

- I can't do it.
- Bullshit you can't.

- It's too much.
- We had a deal.

- You said...
- I said "all the rooms".

Are you really in any position
to turn me down?

It's late.
It's a three-Man job.

Shut the fuck up!

Thattaboy.

Women... just like
target practice, right?

You knock one out,

another one pops up
right in her place.

You might think about
getting started there.

After all,

you're just one guy.

There's no one here.

Given the particulars
of your condition,

In addition to the added stress
of a recent...

Jesus. Fuck.

I don't feel safe

With you anymore.

Hello, Cole.

Shut up.
You're not real.

All right, if you say so.

I bet this looks familiar.

No?

You know, in the end

It's not the ways
in which we're different...

that define us, Cole.

It's the things we've shared.

That is our strength.

I don't know what you think you're doing.
This is private property.

Well, it's not your
private property, Cole.

You only work here, right?

So what do you think?
Do you think he knows?

Knows what?

About us.
About you and me.

Kershe.

At your service.

Shut up.

I...

You're not real.

Yeah.

I'm afraid it's a little more complicated
than that, Cole.

You think you're the guy
in the uniform...

with his name
stitched onto the tag,

but you're not even the suit.

You're just the name on the tag.

I'm losing my mind.

You don't have a mind to lose.

You're not real.

Unfortunately, Cole,
you're not real.

What are you trying to do to me?

You really don't
remember, do you?

Or else you won't.

It's amazing, isn't it...

the lengths that we'll go to...

to forget the terrible things
we've done?

What the fuck
are you doing to me?

Take it easy, Cole.

I had been suffering
from certain delusions.

And from what I could gather,
life with me...

had become increasingly
difficult for my family.

I don't really think
that you know...

how fucking hard
this has been for me.

So I admitted myself...

into a 30-day treatment program.

I don't feel safe with you.

But when the time came
for me to go home,

it was pretty clear
that I was the only one...

who thought
that was a good idea.

And these are for you as well.

Use only as directed
on the label.

No mixing with alcohol.

Okay.

Everybody was concerned

that I was gonna have
a difficult time...

out there...

in the big bad world.

I assured them they were wrong.

But they'd already
made up their minds.

I've already started
the process, okay?

And all I ask is
that you don't fight me on it.

I was asked
to leave my own house...

the house that I had paid for...

this is fucking unbelievable.

...By the woman
that I had worked...

so fucking hard to give it to.

And I knew
at that moment that...

well, that I was
all alone in the world.

That was a feeling
that followed me everywhere.

Can somebody tell me
just exactly...

how the fuck
something like this happens?

- Mr. Kershe.
- Take it easy.

Don't tell me
to take it easy, Todd.

And with nobody on my side,

it became palpably obvious...

that everyone was against me.

And the people
who were supposed to be...

the closest to me...

they were the worst offenders
of all.

Mom!

And I understood
their indifference to my struggle...

to be an attack...

that they were trying
to kill me...

with their disregard.

So I did what I felt
I had to do...

to protect myself.

I didn't kill my family.

No, you didn't.

I killed my family.

I know you.

You'd have done
the exact same thing.

But then I had a new problem.

The threat had been
effectively silenced,

but in its place I found...

a rather unmanageable mess.

And there was no question...

that it had to be taken care of,

but in my state I knew...

that I was in no condition
to do it myself.

I knew I needed help.

So I looked...

deep into myself for strength...

and there you were, Cole.

I'm pretty sure...

there's no way I could have
done this without you.

You were calm and collected...

and efficient.

You assessed the job.

You gathered
the appropriate tools...

and went right to work...

methodically removing
all the traces of the mess...

that I was powerful enough
to create...

but was too fucking weak...

to see through to the end.

And I've got to say, Cole...

you did a hell of a job.

You're insane.

Well, we wouldn't be having
this conversation if I wasn't.

I gotta get outta here.

Before you do,

you should take a look
in the shower.

I'm actually a little surprised

He left it off the grand tour.

It's quite a show-stopper.

Go ahead.

It's nothing
you haven't seen before.

I'm gonna leave
some stuff here...

just in case.

I hope that's okay with you.

I noticed you're not helping me
with my little problem.

I'm talking to you, guy.

You don't think he's gonna let you
just walk outta here, do you?

Cole.

Let's think about this.

Why do you think
he was so insistent...

about having just one guy
clean this whole big house?

Maybe because he couldn't
handle more than one...

when the job was finished?

I don't know about you,

But I'm not ready
to die tonight.

I can make it
down to the highway

And hitchhike my way out.

Then what?

You don't think he's
gonna come after you?

'Cause he will.

What are you saying?

I'm saying...

we did it before.

How hard can it be
to do it again?

I can't.
I can't do it.

You don't have to.

We stick to what we're good at.

I'll make the mess.

You clean it up.

Trust me, Cole, okay?

Just trust me.

A special solution...

You know, for the really
tough stains.

Yeah, all right.

Hold it right there.

Let me see those booties.

There.

Put down the box

And put on the booties.

So what do you want
to hear first...

The good news or the bad news?

Well, the bad news is

That there's no $5000
in this house.

So there's that.

The good news is

That I won this bat
at an auction

And, as you can imagine,
it's quite valuable...

Quite valuable.

In fact I think I paid
just over $5000 for it.

And that was a few years ago.

There's garbage under the sink.

A special solution, huh?

For the really tough stains?

I mean, is that what
we're dealing with here...

The really tough stains?

Hey, guy, why is there...?

Kershe?

You've reached
the Sharpe residence.

Please leave a detailed message
at the sound of the tone...

and someone will get back to you
as soon as they can.

Henry, it's...

well, it's me.

It's Susan.

So...

listen.

I don't know exactly
what I was gonna say.

The truth is, my wife and I have been
having some trouble lately too.

It's pretty late.
I hope I'm not waking you up.

- I haven't spoken to her in a few weeks.
- I just...

She's up with my kid in sonoma.

I don't even know what the fuck
that means, to be up in Sonoma.

I really just wanted
to call and talk.

I guess I'm thinking that we should
try to work this out.

It's only money, you know?

I guess we're gonna try to patch
things up, my wife and I.

I haven't spoken to her
in a while,

But I was thinking of
calling her tomorrow.

And Samuel... well,

Samuel really misses
his dad, you know?

Okay.

I shouldn't be leaving all of this
on the machine.

Call me when you get this
and we'll...

Okay.

Call me back.
Bye.

He didn't kill his wife.

He didn't do anything.

It was an honest mistake.

Anyway, it's done now.

I'm driving the first leg.

Cole, are you sure...

we've taken care of everything?

Don't tell me how to do my job.

No, I wouldn't dare.

It's just I think we
might have missed a spot.

What spot?

Well, not so much a spot really,

but a rather annoying...

British real estate agent.

She saw us.

So did the housekeeper.

Yep, good point.

See, now you're thinking.

That's just great.

Um, the owner doesn't seem
to be answering their phone.

Well, that's just great.

She's being sarcastic...

for a change.

Well, as you can see,

There is a private driveway,
two security gates.

There is a six-car garage
over that way.

The grounds are in
impeccable condition.

And I'm sure the same
can be said about the floors.

I think I'm just
gonna try knocking.

Hello?
