I'M IN CONTROL.

I'M TOTALLY RELAXED.

DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?

THERE'S NOTHING MORE

I CAN DO.

WE HAVE TO TAKE THE HOUSE.

I'LL ALSO HAVE TO NOTIFY

YOUR WIFE.

EX-WIFE.

AND NO, YOU DON'T

HAVE TO NOTIFY HER.

BECAUSE, WELL, SHE'S JUST

GONNA USE IT AS AN EXCUSE

TO TRY TO GET MY KID BACK.

SHE IS A CO-SIGNER AND

AS SUCH SHE MUST

BE NOTIFIED.

OKAY, FINE.

BUT FIRST, JUST GIVE ME

A LITTLE MORE TIME, OKAY?

JUST A MONTH.

GIVE ME ONE MONTH.

GIVE ME A MONTH.

I THINK I CAN GET IT TOGETHER.

I'VE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME

WITH THIS.

I WON'T DISCUSS IT

ANY FURTHER.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO!

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

BECAUSE I NEED MORE TIME.

BOB, DON'T BECOME

A REPEAT OFFENDER.

I HAVE CALLED SECURITY

IN THE PAST

AND I'M FULLY PREPARED

TO DO SO AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

THERE'S NO SMOKING HERE.

WILL YOU BE JOINING US

FOR LUNCH?

YES.

AND THE RESERVATION.

WHAT'S THE NAME, PLEASE?

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE

A RESERVATION IS NECESSARY.

THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM.

OH. IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?

MOST OF OUR TABLES

ARE RESERVED.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW?

DO YOU CARE TO CHANGE

YOUR STATEMENT?

OKAY. WE WILL WAIT.

WILL YOU, NOW?

HURRY UP. FOLLOW ME.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO

BOOK YOU.

ON TOP OF EVERYTHING

ELSE,

IT'S A FEDERAL

OFFENSE TO TAMPER

WITH A CASH MACHINE.

AND YOU KNOW THAT.

IT ATE MY CARD.

LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE A BADGE

AND YOU'RE NOT

A COP ANYMORE.

AND YOU JUST CAN'T

PULL A GUN AND START

SHOOTING PEOPLE.

IT'S AGAINST THE LAW.

NOBODY DIED THAT

YOUR MAMA'S GREASY ASS.

IMPORTANT WORDS TO

SAY TO YOU, ASSHOLE.

SWEDISH ANTI SNIPER

DETONATOR.

[BEEPS]

SOUND INTERESTING? GOOD.

I NEED A CHOPPER HERE

IN 30 MINUTES

OR I'M GONNA SEND

SOME OLD LADY'S HEAD OUT

ON A BED OF LETTUCE.

IS THAT CLEAR?

I UNDERSTAND. BUT I NEED YOU

TO STAY ON THE LINE WITH ME.

[CLICK]

HE HUNG UP. TUCKER!

WE TALKED TO THE BANK GUARD.

HERE'S WHAT WE COULD DIG UP

ON THAT DETONATOR.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

THE PSYCHO LETS GO,

THE WHOLE PLACE GOES UP.

WE'RE SCREWED.

ALL RIGHT. I SEE. THANKS.

I'M SORRY, MR. DELORENZO.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR RESTAURANT'S

GONNA BE CLOSED FOR

A LITTLE WHILE.

IT'S OVER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HOW ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

MAYBE A LITTLE SUSHI?

HOW ABOUT SOME THAI FOOD?

MAYBE PIZZA.

YEAH, I'LL GET THAT.

I'LL GET THE MILK.

I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN ONLY USE

THE PAGERS FOR POLICE BUSINESS.

[PHONE RINGS]

SO ONLY FOR EMER - HANG ON.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

HONEY, I HAVE TO GO.

THE FINGERPRINT...

I'M IN THE LIEUTENANT'S -

I HAVE TO GO.

ALL RIGHT. BYE.

I'M SORRY, MR. MALONE.

DETECTIVE.

BOB.

BOB, I'M SORRY,

DETECTIVE.

RELAX, OKAY?

YOU'RE JUST DOING YOUR JOB.

LISTEN UP!

HERE'S THE DRILL.

EVERYBODY IN THE MIDDLE

COME ON!

LET'S GO!

PLENTY OF ROOM, NO WAITING.

EVERYBODY DOWN! DOWN!

WHAT THE HELL?

WHAT WERE YOU,

RAISED RETARDED?

JUST GET DOWN!

HEY, SULU.

THIS AIN'T NO SLEEPOVER.

WHAT'S WITH THE LUGGAGE?

[SPEAKS JAPANESE]

SHUT UP.

OPEN IT!

WHAT THE HELL

IS GOING ON IN THERE?

MOVE THESE PEOPLE.

Cop: EXCUSE ME, SIR.

WE'RE GONNA NEED YOU

TO STEP RIGHT OVER-

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

[AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE]

GET DOWN!

GET HIM!

HI, MIKE.

HI, SWEETHEART.

HOW YOU DOING?

FIND A SUMMER JOB YET?

NO, NOT YET.

SO, WHAT DID HE DO

THIS TIME?

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY?

NO, JUST DISORDERLY.

BUT IT GOT A LITTLE

MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

TELL YOU WHAT.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE

A SEAT OVER THERE

AND IF YOU'RE

GOOD, I'LL BRING

YOUR FATHER IN MYSELF.

OKAY.

WHY DON'T YOU

TAKE A SEAT?

I STILL NEED TO ASK

YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY

THIS IS NECESSARY.

EVEN THOUGH YOUR ACTIONS

MAY BE JUSTIFIED,

THIS IS STILL A HOMICIDE

UNDER INVESTIGATION,

AND I NEED

A STATEMENT FROM YOU.

SO WHY DON'T YOU

TAKE A SEAT?

PLEASE.

HEY. WHAT'S UP, DUSS?

I HEAR YOUR BANK ROBBER

GOT BLOWN TO PIECES

ON YOU.

THAT'S VERY FUNNY, MIKE.

LISTEN, I WANT YOU

TO RUN THIS FOR ME.

IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT

THIS GUY YOU DON'T KNOW?

MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW YET.

HE WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT

TOO SMOOTH IN ALL

THAT CHAOS.

I THINK IT MIGHT BE

IN EVERYBODY'S BEST INTERESTS

IF I SWEAT HIM A LITTLE.

OKAY. DONE.

THANK YOU.

HI.

CAN I ASK YOU

A QUESTION?

I GUESS.

ARE YOU A PROSTITUTE?

DO YOU WANT SOMETHING?

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT.

SAVE YOUR APOLOGIES

FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES.

I JUST THOUGHT MY HELP

MIGHT BE NEEDED.

DO I LOOK LIKE

I NEED YOUR HELP?

NO, NOT YOU.

HIM.

I'M SORRY. I GUESS IT'S JUST

BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

THAT'S OKAY.

I'M CHELSEA.

I'M KOJI.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M JUST CURIOUS TO SEE

WHAT'S GOING ON UNDER THERE.

Cop: SETTLE DOWN!

HE WAS GUNNING FOR ME

BUT HE'S DEAD.

IT'S LIKE I COULD

TALK TO THE ANIMALS.

CALM DOWN.

Prisoner: [INDISTINCT]

I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THEM.

SOMEBODY WANTS ME DEAD

'CAUSE I KNOW TOO MUCH.

I KNOW TOO MUCH.

I KNOW TOO MUCH!

PLEASE HELP ME.

TELL YOUR DOG WHERE

THEY'VE TAKEN ME.

HE'LL KNOW WHAT

TO DO.

LET GO!

KOJI.

HEY, KOJI!

SIR. EXCUSE ME,

I THINK THAT GIRL

IS TALKING TO YOU.

YOU FORGOT YOUR GLASSES.

THANK YOU.

NO, THANK YOU FOR

GIVING ME A HAND.

HELLO, CHELSEA.

MIKE'S BRINGING

YOUR DAD UP.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US,

THIS WAY, MR. SUGAWATA.

NICE TO MEET YOU,

KOJI.

REMEMBER, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO

HAVE A LAWYER PRESENT

DURING ANY QUESTIONING

BY THE POLICE.

BYE.

SO THIS IS IT?

THIS IS THE WAY

IT WENT DOWN?

YES.

EVER DO ANYTHING

LIKE THIS BEFORE?

NO.

EVER PULL ANYBODY

OUT OF A CAR WRECK?

NO.

EVER RUN INTO

A BURNING BUILDING?

NO.

EVER IMAGINE YOURSELF IN

YOUR WILDEST DREAMS DOING

ANYTHING THIS HEROIC?

NO.

THEN TELL ME SOMETHING.

I'M CURIOUS.

WHAT MAKES A MAN LIKE YOU,

A 35-YEAR-OLD VIDEO

GAMES SALESMAN,

WANT TO RISK HIS LIFE

TO STOP A PSYCHO

CARRYING AN AK-47

AND WEARING A VEST

FULL OF C-4?

I'M ON VACATION.

WELL, LOOK WHO'S HERE.

OKAY, BOYS AND GIRLS,

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

THANKS, MIKE.

YEAH, THANKS, MIKEY.

LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME,

JUST LIKE THE EX.

I'D SAY MOM HAD

HER REASONS.

WOULDN'T YOU?

LISTEN, KID, I'M SORRY.

JUST SAVE IT, BOB.

AS I KEEP TELLING YOU,

I'M ON VACATION.

IS THAT A CRIME?

NO.

BUT LYING TO THE POLICE IS.

YOU STATED EARLIER THAT

YOU WERE VACATIONING ALONE.

NOW, ACCORDING TO THE OTHERS

AT THE RESTAURANT,

YOU WERE HAVING LUNCH WITH

ANOTHER JAPANESE GENTLEMAN.

A MAN WITH

A METAL BRIEFCASE.

HE'S A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE.

YOU MET WITH

A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE

ON YOUR VACATION?

WE JAPANESE ARE

WORKAHOLICS.

MAYBE YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR

BUSINESS ASSOCIATE IS NOW,

MR. SUGAWATA?

NO. I WAS HOPING YOU

MIGHT TELL ME.

AND I WAS HOPING FOR

A LITTLE BIT MORE HONESTY.

LET'S START OVER AGAIN,

SHALL WE?

I'D LIKE MY PASSPORT BACK,

PLEASE. I'M LEAVING.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

WHY? I'M NOT A CRIMINAL!

YOU LISTEN TO ME,

YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT.

THE WAY THINGS WORK

IN THIS COUNTRY,

IS THAT I CAN HOLD YOU

FOR 24 HOURS,

JUST FOR LOOKING AT ME

SIDEWAYS.

SO WHETHER YOU LIKE IT

OR NOT,

YOU'RE STAYING RIGHT HERE.

LIEUTENANT,

I NEED TO TALK.

Cop: WHAT WAS THAT?

Second Cop: I DON'T KNOW.

First Cop: GO DOWN THERE

AND CHECK IT OUT RIGHT AWAY.

[ALARM BLARES]

Bob: HOW MANY TIMES

I GOTTA TELL YOU,

I DON'T WANT YOU

DRIVING THE TRUCK

ANYMORE.

THE DAMN THING'S

A DEATH TRAP.

SOMETHING'S GONNA

HAPPEN, I'M GONNA BE

HELD RESPONSIBLE.

YOU, RESPONSIBLE?

THAT IS A LAUGH.

HI, CHELSEA.

KOJI. HI.

WHAT THE HELL

IS A KOJI?

GET IN THE TRUCK.

HEY, HEY. JUST TAKE IT EASY

THERE, ALL RIGHT?

NOW.

[MUFFLED REPLY]

WE KNOW YOU SOLD THEM

THE METAL BRIEFCASE

[MUFFLED REPLY]

SO WHY DON'T YOU

JUST GIVE IT UP, PAL?

GIVE ME YOUR WALLET.

FINE, HERE,

TAKE THE WALLET.

LEATHER'S WORTH MORE

THAN WHAT'S INSIDE,

ANYWAY.

IS THIS YOUR ADDRESS?

NO, THAT'S OLD.

WE GOT AN APARTMENT

DOWNTOWN NOW.

IF WE DRIVE TO THIS APARTMENT

AND YOU'VE LIED TO ME

I WILL KILL YOU.

SOUNDS FAIR.

HE'S LYING.

THAT IS OUR ADDRESS.

WILL YOU JUST CHILL OUT

AND DO WHAT HE SAYS, BOB?

LISTEN UP, PAL.

YOU WANT TO GO

TO THE HOUSE, I'LL

TAKE YOU TO THE HOUSE.

I'LL DRIVE YOU ANYWHERE

YOU WANT TO GO.

BUT LET'S DROP

THE KID OFF FIRST.

NO.

YOU DON'T NEED HER.

WE'LL DROP HER OFF.

BOB, JUST SHUT UP.

HEY, YOU SHUT UP AND

STAY OUT OF THIS.

WILL YOU QUIT TRYING

TO PROTECT ME?

IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR YOU

TO START ACTING LIKE

MY PARENT.

I TOLD YOU TO

SHUT UP, DIDN'T I?

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT,

ANYWAY.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU

EVEN KNOW THIS GUY?

GUESS WHAT?

YOU MEET A LOT OF

VERY INTERESTING PEOPLE

ALWAYS BAILING YOUR FATHER

OUT OF JAIL.

OH, REALLY?

WHY DON'T YOU GO LIVE

WITH YOUR MOTHER AND

HER CPA BOYFRIEND

AND THE REST OF YOUR

PERFECT LITTLE

BROTHERS AND SISTERS?

I HATE YOU!

YOU'RE SUCH AN ASSHOLE!

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO US

ALL A FAVOR

AND TAKE THIS TRUCK AND JUST

SMASH IT INTO A TREE

SOME NIGHT?

MAYBE I WILL.

OKAY. FINE.

GO AHEAD, CRY.

I'VE HEARD IT

BEFORE.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.

EXCUSE ME, MISTER.

MISTER. HEY, WAIT UP, MISTER.

THINK YOU CAN HELP ME OUT

A LITTLE BIT HERE?

MAYBE A DOLLAR OR TWO,

WHATEVER YOU GOT.

NO.

HEY, EVEN A QUARTER

WOULD HELP. I AIN'T PICKY.

YOU KNOW, NO PROBLEM.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE

SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD IS?

SEPULVEDA? YEAH, YEAH.

SURE, I KNOW WHERE IT IS.

IT'S GONNA COST YOU, THOUGH.

A MAN'S GOTTA MAKE

A LIVING, YOU KNOW.

CHECK IT OUT.

IT'S MY LUCKY DAY.

IT'S A PENNY.

A PENNY HERE, AND PENNY THERE,

IT ALL ADDS UP.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T

PICK UP PENNIES NO MORE.

I FIGURED IT OUT ONCE.

THE TIME YOU SPEND

PICKING UP A PENNY,

YOU'RE MAKING $18 AN HOUR.

THAT'S A DAMN GOOD WAGE

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED

IN WORKING.

YEAH, IT IS. FIND A DIME,

THAT'S $180 AN HOUR,

ALL RIGHT. I HAD A LAWYER ONCE,

HE DIDN'T MAKE THAT MUCH.

THAT NO-GOOD PECKERHEAD,

HE TURNED ME IN TO THE COPS.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

HE TURNED ME IN TO THE COPS.

YOU EVER HEAR OF

ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE?

ALL RIGHT. THAT NO-GOOD

PECKERHEAD, YEAH, HE WAS.

I TOOK CARE OF HIM, THOUGH,

THAT SQUEALER.

THE SNITCH GETS STICHES.

WHOA, TAKE IT EASY THERE,

BUDDY.

SNITCHES GET STICHES.

YEAH, THEY DO.

NOW I GOTTA REPRESENT

MYSELF, THOUGH.

SEE, I'M SUING THE STATE

OF CALIFORNIA.

YEAH, YEAH. I'M SUING THEM.

TWO BOUNTY HUNTERS,

THEY DRUGGED MY ASS.

THEY DRUGGED MY ASS,

CAUSED BRAIN DAMAGE.

YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IT

TO LOOK AT ME,

95% OF MY BRAIN

HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

YEAH, IT HAS.

GENTLEMEN, ACCORDING TO

THE RECENTLY DEPARTED

MR. LAFAYETTE,

2 JAPANESE LOWLIFES

ARE IN TOWN.

PROBABLY TO TAKE A SHOT

AT THE BOSS.

THE COPS HAD THIS ONE

IN CUSTODY BUT HE ESCAPED.

HIS PARTNER'S WALKING AROUND

WITH A METAL BRIEFCASE.

PUT OUT THE WORD.

FIND THEM.

BOY, IT SURE IS HOT, HUH?

I BEEN SWEATING BRICKS

ALL DAY.

I DON'T LET IT GET TO ME,

THOUGH.

YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO KEEP

AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK.

MY GRANDMA ALWAYS USED TO SAY,

SMILES THROUGH TRIALS.

I BELIEVE IT.

YOU KNOW, THE MAN WITH THE GRIN

IS THE MAN WHO WILL WIN.

DON'T YOU THINK?

SEE YOU'RE CARRYING

THAT SUITCASE IN

YOUR LEFT HAND.

YEAH, I'M A LEFTY, TOO.

YOU KNOW, THEY SAY

THE LIFE SPAN OF

LEFT-HANDERS

IS 9 YEARS LESS THAN

NORMAL PEOPLE

AND LEFTIES ARE 5 TIMES

MORE LIKELY TO DIE

IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I BELIEVE IT.

YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS

GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS.

DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT?

YES!

HEY, THAT'S A QUARTER.

THAT'S $450 AN HOUR.

CHECK IT OUT.

IT'S MY LUCKY DAY.

WAIT. ROLL THAT BACK.

HE WALKED RIGHT OUT

THE DOOR.

NOW WHERE THE HELL

WOULD THIS GUY GO?

COULD YOU MAKE IT

A LITTLE TIGHTER, PLEASE?

DO YOU HAVE A MAP OF THE CITY

AND A PHONE BOOK?

I THINK SO.

HEY. WHY ARE YOU

HOLDING US HERE?

YOU DON'T NEED US.

YOU COULD...

...LEAVE. YEAH,

YOU COULD TAKE MY TRUCK.

THE KEYS ARE RIGHT

IN MY POCKET. RIGHT THERE.

I'LL BE STAYING HERE

FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

IF YOU DO WHAT I SAY,

I WON'T HARM YOU.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF YOU'RE JUST

KILLING TIME NOW,

WHY DON'T YOU GO GET

YOURSELF A MOTEL ROOM

OR SOMETHING?

HOW ABOUT THAT?

Chelsea: IT'S

DISCONNECTED.

WE HAVEN'T PAID

THAT BILL LATELY.

IF WE'RE JUST

GONNA SIT AROUND,

WOULD IT BE OKAY

IF I WENT AND

WATCHED TELEVISION?

HEY.

COME ON, MAN.

I'LL BE A GOOD BOY.

UNDO ME, HUH?

I'LL SIT HERE

REALLY QUIETLY, I PROMISE.

HOW ABOUT IT?

I WON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD.

COME ON.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]

OH, NO!

OH, NO, YOU DON'T!

HEY! HEY!

I TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO WATCH

THAT GARBAGE IN MY HOUSE!

YOU CHANGE THAT CHANNEL

RIGHT NOW!

NO.

CHELSEA, I SAID

CHANGE THAT CHANNEL!

WE'RE NOT WATCHING

THAT GARBAGE!

SHUT UP, BOB.

YOU CHANGE THAT CHANNEL

RIGHT NOW, GIRL,

RIGHT THIS MINUTE!

NO!

HEY! DON'T YOU TELL ME NO!

CHANGE IT!

I SAID NO!

I SAID CHANGE IT,

CHANGE IT-

YOU SAY!

BE QUIET.

SHE STARTED IT.

AND I WILL END IT.

COME ON.

HEY, HEY, HEY,

DON'T GET ROUGH, BUDDY.

HEY, TAKE IT EASY!

Bob: CHELSEA, DON'T FIGHT.

JUST GO WITH HIM.

Bob: YOU'LL BE OKAY.

I'M RIGHT HERE.

MAKE SOME FOOD.

WHAT?

COOK.

OH.

OKAY.

I HAVE NO DESIRE

TO HURT EITHER OF YOU.

BUT YOU NEED TO BE

SEPARATED.

SORRY.

SOMETIMES I WONDER

WHY I PUSH HIM LIKE THAT.

NO ONE ELSE LIVES HERE?

NO BROTHERS OR SISTERS?

MY PARENTS ARE DIVORCED.

IT'S JUST ME AND HIM.

IT'S THE TRUTH.

LOOK AROUND. I MEAN,

WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT

TO LIVE HERE?

I'M NOT EVEN SURE

WHY I'M HERE.

WHEN MY PARENTS SPLIT UP,

THE JUDGE GAVE US

A CHOICE, TOO.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS,

THE PICKED MY MOM.

IT ALMOST KILLED BOB.

EVERYBODY DESERTING HIM.

WHEN IT WAS MY TURN

TO CHOOSE,

I ENDED UP HERE.

MY MOM ... MY MOM

FREAKED OUT, TOO, BIG TIME.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

I KNOW IT WAS

THE WRONG CHOICE, BUT...

WELL, I FELT SORRY FOR HIM.

I MEAN, SOMEBODY

HAD TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.

I GUESS YOU THINK

THAT'S PRETTY STUPID OF ME, HUH?

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING

TO DRINK?

WHERE WOULD THIS GUY GO?

DOES HE KNOW ANYBODY?

I GOTTA GO

CHECK SOMETHING OUT.

Thomas: I THINK HE'S

COMING AROUND.

Jimmy: HEY, GUY,

YOU ALL RIGHT?

WAIT. YOU SHOULDN'T

GET UP RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GONNA WANT

TO STAY STILL.

I KNEW THIS GUY ONE TIME,

HE BUSTED HIS NECK,

HE WALKED AROUND

FOR 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT

WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT.

HEY, DO YOU NEED HELP?

YOU WANT US TO GIVE YOU

A RIDE OR SOMETHING

TO THE HOSPITAL?

YES.

I NEED A RIDE.

THERE USED TO BE A LOT

MORE TO EAT AROUND HERE

THAN

MACARONI HELPER.

MY MOM'S A PRETTY GOOD COOK.

ARE YOU MARRIED?

NO.

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

Jimmy: JOE SNAPPER'S?

SURE THING, GUY.

BEEN THERE LOTS OF TIMES.

THAT'S WHERE I MET

MY OLD LADY.

SHE PRETTY MUCH

QUIT STRIPPING, THOUGH.

SHE MAKES MORE MONEY NOW

READING TAROT CARDS

IN THE NUDE

OVER AT

THE RENAISSANCE FAIR.

GET RID OF THEM.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

COME ON, IT'S DUSSECQ.

NO KIDDING.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

LOOK, I NEED

GO AWAY.

TO TALK TO YOU.

GO AWAY!

ARE YOU GONNA OPEN

THE DOOR OR WHAT?

SAY WHAT YOU WANT,

THEN GET OUT.

I SAW CHELSEA AT

THE PRECINCT THIS AFTERNOON.

SHE WAS TALKING

TO A JAPANESE MAN.

YOU KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THAT?

NO. WHY?

BECAUSE WE THINK THIS GUY IS

YAKUZA. HE BEAT UP WILLIAMS

PRETTY BAD.

IS THAT RIGHT?

LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT

YOUR NOSE STUCK IN

THE MIDDLE OF IT, TOO.

WHERE'S CHELSEA, BOB?

AT WORK.

WHEN'S SHE GONNA

BE HOME?

LATER. I'LL HAVE HER

CALL YOU.

YOU DO THAT.

I WILL.

IS THAT ALL?

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

FINE. GET LOST,

ASSHOLE.

WATCH YOUR TEMPER,

MALONE.

THAT'S WHAT GOT YOU

IN FRONT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

OH, YEAH?

THAT'S REVISIONIST

HISTORY HERE, PAL.

IS THAT SO?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU NEEDED A SCAPEGOAT

AND YOU HUNG ME OUT

TO DRY.

THE DEPARTMENT

WON'T PAY YOUR PENSION.

BUT THEY MIGHT COVER THERAPY.

LOOK INTO IT.

[PHONE BEEPS]

HE'S THERE.

WE'LL GET HIM.

[PHONE BEEPS]

I DATED A WAITRESS ONCE.

NO, YOU DIDN'T.

STANDING IN A BAR

WHERE SHE WORKS

IS NOT A DATE.

SO? I ONCE TIPPED HER

A 5-SPOT WITH MY

PHONE NUMBER ON IT.

DID SHE CALL YOU?

NO, BUT THERE WERE 6 OR 7

HANG-UPS ON MY ANSWERING

MACHINE.

REALLY? YOU THINK

IT WAS HER?

OF COURSE. WHO ELSE

WOULD IT HAVE BEEN?

WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO

DO THIS.

I'M NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING.

I'LL BE A GOOD BOY.

COME ON, MAN,

I'LL BEHAVE MYSELF.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST UNDO ME?

NO, YOU MUST

SIT THIS OUT.

OKAY. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN

GET YOU TO ANSWER

A FEW QUESTIONS.

LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS

A YAKUZA DOING IN MY HOUSE?

BOB, BE CAREFUL!

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

COME ON, OUT WITH IT,

TOUGH GUY.

YOU KNOW THAT COP THAT

WAS JUST HERE? DUSSECQ?

HE MAY BE DUMB BUT

HE AIN'T STUPID.

HE KNOWS SOMETHING'S UP.

MY DAUGHTER NEVER HAD

A JOB IN HER LIFE.

SO BEFORE THE BIG BOYS

GET HERE TO STOMP

YOUR ASS,

I'D ADVISE YOU TO TAKE

MY QUESTIONS SERIOUSLY.

OTHERWISE YOU

AIN'T GONNA HAVE

AN ASS TO STOMP!

YOU HEAR ME?

HOW ABOUT IT?

YOU'RE JUST SO COOL,

AREN'T YOU?

WELL

SAYONARA, KOJI.

NO, BOB, DON'T!

I HAD NO CHOICE.

I HAD TO ESCAPE.

YOU WERE MY OPPORTUNITY.

THAT'S A GOOD START.

NOW WHAT DOES DUSSECQ

WANT WITH YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

DAD, LOOK!

COME ON, PRETTY BOY.

LET'S GO. UP YOU GO!

Bob: FRIENDS OF YOURS?

DELORENZO.

HOW DOES HE

KNOW I'M HERE?

RUDY DELORENZO?

YEAH.

WHAT THE HELL'S

THE MOB GOT TO DO WITH THIS?

HE TOLD THEM I WAS HERE.

WHO?

DUSSECQ.

THAT'S BULL!

YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.

HE KNOWS I'M HERE.

HE'S THE ONLY ONE.

NO ONE WILL

LEAVE HERE ALIVE.

IF YOU DON'T LET ME

HELP YOU, WE ALL DIE.

DAD, THEY'RE COMING!

[DOOR BATTERING]

DECIDE QUICKLY.

CHELSEA, COME HERE!

STAY DOWN!

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

[INDISTINCT VOICES]

YEAH?

RINGO, WHEN YOU FINISH UP,

TAKE THEM TO THE SHOP.

DUSSECQ!

MALONE? WELL,

THIS IS UNFORTUNATE.

YEAH, ISN'T IT?

LET ME GUESS.

WRONG NUMBER?

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR,

MALONE.

SEND THE JAP OUT.

AND I'LL THINK ABOUT

LETTING YOU LIVE.

OH, YEAH?

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

YOU BEEN WITH THE MOB

THIS WHOLE TIME?

YOU SET ME UP BEFORE, TOO,

DIDN'T YOU?

IN THAT CASE, WHY DON'T YOU

JUST COME ON OVER HERE

SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS?

YOU GOT A LOT BIGGER

PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.

MALONE, DO THE SMART THING

FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

AND THEN WHAT? PRETEND

LIKE THIS NEVER HAPPENED?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE MAFIA,

REMEMBER?

I THINK YOU KNOW HOW

THIS IS GONNA END UP.

THAT'S WHY I CAN SAY THIS

WITH SUCH RELISH.

YOU ARE A PATHETIC LOSER.

GO TO HELL.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

STAY IN THIS TUB

NO MATTER WHAT.

THE SAFETY'S OFF.

USE IT ONLY IF

YOU HAVE TO.

TODAY IN THE TRUCK?

I DIDN'T MEAN ANY

OF THAT STUFF.

I KNOW. ME, NEITHER.

STAY IN THIS ROOM.

YOU HEAR ME?

LET'S GO!

THERE'S GO TO BE ONE

GOOD COP IN THIS CITY.

NO POLICE!

HEY! WE NEED HELP,

YOU STUPID ASSHOLE!

NO POLICE!

WE NEED HELP!

GO!

DROP YOUR GUN!

NO, YOU DROP IT!

SHOOT THE KID, JOEY.

SCREW YOU! I SAID

PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN!

HOLD ON, HOLD ON,

HOLD ON.

WE GIVE UP.

WE QUIT. YOU WIN.

Jimmy: YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES

YOU JUST HAVE TO WEAR

A PLAIN WHITE T-SHIRT.

IT'S UNDERSTATED.

CHICKS DIG IT.

WHAT? WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

A GIRL.

A GIRL?

GROW UP, MAN.

MY OLD LADY?

NOW, SHE IS A WOMAN.

HEY, WE MISSED A TURN.

HEY, JIMMY, OUR LITTLE

BUDDY BACK HERE SAYS

WE MESSED UP.

OH, WELL, HE MUST BE

KIDDING, TOMMY.

WE AIN'T DONE

NOTHING WRONG.

MR. DELORENZO ASKED US

TO FIND THIS GUY AND

BRING HIM IN.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT WE'RE DOING.

RIGHT. AND WE GOT

A NICE, COMFORTABLE CHAIR

WAITING FOR YOU, PAL.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]

MISERABLE SON OF A BITCH!

Chelsea: DAD, PLEASE!

PLEASE STOP!

DAD, STOP!

YOU, STUPID, STUPID,

STUPID-

PLEASE JUST STOP!

GET OFF HIM!

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

PLEASE,LISTEN TO ME!

IT'S ENOUGH, OKAY?

JUST STOP!

YOU REALIZE WHAT

YOU'VE DONE?

DO YOU?

YOU SEE THIS KID? HUH?

YOU KILLED HER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU PUT US IN THE MIDDLE

OF YOUR STINKING

LITTLE WAR

AND NOW WE'RE STUCK HERE

WITH YOU.

WE'RE ALL DEAD!

AS LONG AS DELORENZO'S

STILL ALIVE, WE ARE DEAD!

I CAN CHANGE THAT.

OH, YEAH?

AND HOW ARE YOU

GONNA DO THAT?

FIRST, WE BUY SOME TIME.

THEN WE GO MEET SOMEBODY.

[STRIP MUSIC PLAYS]

YOU MAKE A MISTAKE,

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

YEAH.

IT'S FINISHED.

CLEAN?

WE TOOK CARE OF

ALL THREE.

MR. DELORENZO WILL BE

VERY HAPPY.

HIDEO.

HIDEO?

THIS YOUR SOMEBODY?

HE DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD.

SORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.

SO, WHAT DO WE DO NOW,

PARTNER?

WE?

NO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NO?

YOU MUST TAKE CARE

OF YOUR DAUGHTER.

I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT.

BUT IF I'M GONNA SAVE

MY KID,

I GOTTA MAKE SURE

DELORENZO CAN NEVER

GET TO US AGAIN.

I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT

FOR YOU.

UM-MMM. NOT A CHANCE.

YOU SEE, UNFORTUNATELY

I'M IN THIS THING

TOO DEEP.

THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE

GONNA GET RID OF ME NOW.

AND IF YOU TRY,

I'LL JUST HAVE TO

GO SEE DELORENZO

ON MY OWN.

MAYBE SHOW UP AT THE

EXACT SAME TIME YOU DO,

SCREW UP

YOUR LITTLE PLAN.

PROBABLY GET YOU KILLED,

NOT TO MENTION MYSELF.

YOU WOULD DO THAT?

THAT I WOULD DO.

THERE'S JUST

ONE MORE THING.

CHELSEA.

MAYBE YOU CAN GET

SOMEBODY TO KEEP

AN EYE ON HER.

TILL WE GET BACK.

I ... I GOTTA GO SOMEWHERE.

AND KOJI'S GOT A FRIEND

THAT'S GONNA KEEP AN EYE

ON YOU TILL I GET BACK.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

GONNA SEE SOME PEOPLE.

I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE

BY MYSELF.

I WANT TO GO WITH YOU.

LOOK, I'M SORRY,

BUT YOU HAVE TO STAY.

WHY?

BECAUSE.

BECAUSE WHY?

JUST BECAUSE, THAT'S WHY.

NOW STOP, PLEASE.

DAD.

I'M SCARED.

YEAH. ME, TOO.

COME HERE.

[TRAIN CHUGS]

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

[METAL CASE CLANGS]

NO THANKS. I'M NOT HERE

FOR THE MONEY.

WHOA.

PRETTY FANCY HARDWARE

YOU GOT HERE, PARTNER.

P2-28, 9 MILL,

15 IN THE CLIP.

ONE IN THE CHAMBER.

YEAH. SHE'LL DO.

YOU WEREN'T PLANNING ON

LETTING THIS GUY

JUST WALK AWAY FROM

THIS WHOLE PARTY,

WERE YOU?

NOT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

YEAH. HERE.

WHAT THE HELL.

IF YOU DON'T KILL A GUY

WHEN HE'S OUT OF LINE,

HOW ELSE YOU GONNA LEARN,

RIGHT?

CHEERS.

THIS BELONGS TO YOU.

THANKS.

CHELSEA. BEFORE SHE WAS

A BRAT.

HEY.

RIGHT ON TIME.

GOOD PREDICTION.

HE'S A SLAVE TO HIS HABITS.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM

AN EASY TARGET.

YEAH, WELL...

IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY WAY

TO PUT A BULLET IN

THIS GUY'S HEART

IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO PUT THE FAT GUY

ON A DIET.

HEY, LIEUTENANT.

SO WHAT'S THE STORY?

WELL, WE GOT A TOTAL OF

8 BODIES, ALL CAUCASIANS.

WHAT ABOUT MALONE

AND HIS DAUGHTER?

IT'S KIND OF STRANGE.

THERE'S NO SIGN OF

THEM ANYWHERE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

ARE YOU CERTAIN?

YEAH. COUNT THEM YOURSELF.

WE GOT ONE RIGHT HERE,

ONE RIGHT THERE,

3 INSIDE, 2 IN THE KITCHEN,

AND-

ALL RIGHT. BEFORE

WE GO IN HERE, I WANT

TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

IF I DON'T COME OUT

OF THIS, CHELSEA'S

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

MAKE SURE SHE

GETS AWAY SAFELY.

MAYBE TAKE HER

TO HER MOM.

NOW SHE AIN'T GONNA

WANT TO GO,

BUT THAT'S GONNA BE

YOUR PROBLEM.

OKAY?

AGREED.

I ALSO WANT SOMETHING

FROM YOU, BOB.

NAME IT.

I WANT TO ASK YOU TO DO

SOMETHING FOR MY FRIEND.

YOU GOT IT.

WHATEVER IT IS,

IT'LL GET DONE.

YOU GOT MY WORD ON IT.

WHAT IS IT?

POLICE EMERGENCY.

THIS IS CHELSEA MALONE.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO

SEND SOMEONE DOWN TO

THE CIAO AMICO RESTAURANT.

HI, CHELSEA.

YOUR DAD ISN'T HERE TODAY.

I KNOW. THIS ISN'T

ABOUT MY DAD.

THIS IS ABOUT

LIEUTENANT DUSSECQ.

HE WORKS FOR SOME GUY

NAMED RUDY DELORENZO-

LIEUTENANT DUSSECQ

ISN'T HERE RIGHT NOW, EITHER.

I KNOW. YOU'RE GONNA

HAVE TO SEND SOMEONE ELSE.

CHELSEA, I'LL TELL

LIEUTENANT DUSSECQ

THAT YOU CALLED.

I GOTTA - THE OTHER PHONES

ARE GOING - I HAVE TO

ANSWER, OKAY? GOODBYE.

POLICE EMERGENCY.

I CAN'T TALK TO YOU

ABOUT THE CAT RIGHT NOW, HONEY.

WELL, GIVE HER ANOTHER PILL

AND BLOW IN HER FACE.

I HAVE TO GO. OKAY.

I LOVE YOU -

POLICE EMERGENCY.

Bob: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

TAKE IT EASY, GUYS.

RELAX. BRING IT DOWN

A COUPLE OF NOTCHES.

TAKE IT EASY. I EVEN

BROUGHT SOME BEER.

I'VE GO TO TALK TO

DELORENZO.

MR. DELORENZO SAYS

YOU ARE DISTURBING HIM.

HE'S GOT A MESSAGE.

MR. DELORENZO DOES NOT

TAKE MESSAGES DURING MEALS.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

EXCUSE ME.

YEAH.

MALONE AND THE JAP

ARE STILL ALIVE.

WE KNOW.

THEY'RE STANDING HERE

IN FRONT OF US.

YOU HANG UP ON ME?

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

MR. DELORENZO.

YOU HAVE VIOLATED

YOUR BUSINESS AGREEMENT

WITH MASAO KOJIMA.

AND HE DEMANDS

COMPLETE RESTITUTION.

IF YOU DON'T AGREE,

I WILL KILL YOU.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WE OWE MR. KOJIMA NOTHING.

THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER.

THESE GENTLEMEN WILL

SHOW YOU THE DOOR.

Bob: NO, NO, NO, NO.

HOLD IT.

TAKE IT EASY. TIME OUT.

YOU BOYS JUST DON'T

SEEM TO GET IT, DO YOU?

MY FRIEND HERE HAS

SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU.

IF YOU GIVE US JUST

A LITTLE BIT OF

YOUR TIME,

WE'LL BE OUT OF

YOUR HAIR. OKAY?

GOOD.

GO ON, KOJI.

LAY IT ON THEM.

SECONDLY, LEAVE BOB MALONE'S

DAUGHTER, CHELSEA, ALONE.

WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE?

AND THIRD. DUSSECQ.

YOU CAN SAY

YOUR GOODBYES,

'CAUSE HE'S MINE.

YOU WILL LEAVE. NOW.

I DON'T THINK THEY

LIKE YOU.

I GET A LOT

OF COMPLAINTS.

I DON'T THINK SO,

CHELSEA.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

NO, NO, NO.

NICE AND EASY.

ALL RIGHT.

WAIT A MINUTE.

LET'S TALK.

I UNDERSTAND

HOW THIS WORKS.

IT'S A NEGOTIATION.

YOU GUYS GO HIGH,

I GO LOW.

WE KILL A FEW OF YOUR GUYS,

YOU KILL A FEW OF MY GUYS.

THEN WE COME TO

A SETTLEMENT.

I LIKE YOU GUYS.

YOU'RE STAND-UP

KIND OF GUYS.

SO WHAT'S

THE NEXT STEP HERE?

WHAT DO WE DO?

THERE SEEMS TO BE

ONE LITTLE PROBLEM.

WHAT'S THAT?

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT

I CAN HELP YOU WITH.

'CAUSE I CONSIDER

YOU BOYS PARTNERS.

AND I CONSIDER MY PARTNERS

LIKE FAMILY.

ACTUALLY,

IT'S FAIRLY SIMPLE.

KOJI HERE'S JUST GOTTA

FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET

YOUR HEAD THROUGH CUSTOMS.

TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL GIVE YOU DUSSECQ.

NO PROBLEM.

AND I WANT YOU TO APOLOGIZE

TO MR. KOJIMA FOR ME.

TELL HIM

I'LL BE HAPPY TO SPEED

THOSE SHIPMENTS ALONG.

THERE'S NO NEED

TO APOLOGIZE.

DROP THE GUN, MALONE.

YOU, TOO.

WHAT, ARE YOU

HARD OF HEARING?

THAT'S IT.

HEY, BOYS, I'M SORRY

I'M LATE TO THE PARTY.

KILL THEM. QUICK!

SHUT UP!

YOU DOUBLE-CROSSING

PIECE OF SCUM.

I HEARD YOU

GIVE ME UP.

TAKE IT EASY, DUSSECQ.

I WOULD NEVER GIVE YOU UP.

I WAS JUST BUYING TIME.

WE'RE PARTNERS.

YEAH, WELL, LET ME

MAKE THIS CLEAR.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED

YOUR MEAL.

'CAUSE IT WAS YOUR LAST!

[GUNSHOT]

GO AHEAD AND SHOOT.

AT LEAST I'LL DIE

KNOWING I WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA DIE,

ALL RIGHT.

STOP IT!

CHELSEA!

I SAID DROP THAT GUN!

CHELSEA! SHOOT HIM!

LISTEN TO YOUR FATHER

FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE

AND SHOOT HIM!

Dussecq: YOU'LL NEVER

Dussecq: GO AHEAD.

I'M GONNA SPLATTER HIS BRAINS

ALL OVER THIS FLOOR.

SO GO AHEAD, SHOOT ME!

COME ON. PULL THE TRIGGER,

CHELSEA. COME ON.

SHOOT ME.

THAT'S A GOOD GIRL.

NOW, YOUR TIME'S COMING,

BUT FIRST, YOU'RE GONNA

WATCH YOUR DAUGHTER DIE.

BOB!

COME ON. LET'S GO.

[POLICE SIRENS WAIL]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

WELL, IF NOTHING ELSE,

I HOPE YOU LEARNED

YOUR LESSON ABOUT

TALKING TO STRANGERS.

Radio: THAT ONE'S CALLED

MEMPHIS SUN.

AN INTERESTING NOTE.
