[groans]
Today's a good day
to kick some ass.
Okay, let me see it again.
Hey!
Forgive me.
I'm jealous.
Kristine, it is so beautiful.
You must feel like
the luckiest woman
in the whole world.
You know, when I first met
Nick Taylor, I thought,
now there's a man
who is going to make some woman
very, very happy.
Well, you're right
on that one.
So, when is the wedding?
December 19th.
You know, I never thought
I'd marry a cop.
Okay, time to go to work.
* music
[sigh]
And I thought it was only
gonna be a couple of kids
passing phony 20 dollar bills.
We'll see.

Jimmy, long time no see.
Where's Jake?
Jake's taking care of
business, and he sent me.
[laughter]
What, do you got him
running the press.
[laughter]
Alright, let's see
what you got, cowboy.
Come on, you know
it's good paper.
It's the best damn paper
in the West Coast.
Don't get cocky,
delivery boy.
Look, I don't have time
for this bullshit.
Pay me and it's yours.
Yeah well, that's what
I wanted to talk to Jake about.
There's nothing to talk about.
It's 25 cents on the dollar,
take it or leave it.
What the hell do you care?
Have Jake run the printer
an extra five minutes
and we're all happy.
No exceptions.
Look.
Mr. Batania has been
doing business with your people
for a long time,
loyal business,
and you've never given him
one friendly discount!
Two things!
One, we ain't friends,
and two, you want a discount?
Go to Kmart.
Either you're buying
or I'm flying.
You dirty son of a bitch.
Fuck you.
Deal is off.
Let's go.
I don't think so, Jimmy.
[guns clicking]
You better call for backup.
Yeah.
Hey, look!
We don't want no trouble.
Just call your dogs off.
I know where you
print the shit asshole.
You don't play by our rules,
we will wipe you
out of the game.

Good evening ladies.
May I check your purses
please?
Is that necessary?
House rules.
What do we have here?
Personal protection.
It stays at the door.
Do I need to ask to see
your purse?
[zipper opening]
Why don't you
hold on to this for me?
Gladly.
Now, have either one of you
been to one of Mr. Batania's
parties before?
No.
This is our first time.
Okay.s our first time.
Mind your p's and q's.
Be very nice to the gentleman,
and you'll do just fine, okay?
Enjoy the party.

New girls?

[indistinct]
Really?

[people chatting]
Good evening.
My name is Charles.
Charles Batania.
Welcome to my humble abode.
Hi.
I'm Candy.
How sweet.
I haven't seen
your face before.
To my great misfortune.
It's quite a party you have
going on here.
Oh, I throw a bash
once a month for
my closest business associates.
What line of business
are you in?
This and that.
As I was saying,
my associates like to indulge
in the finest of pleasures.
Is that why we're here?
I like to think of it as
a cooperative effort.
Ladies are invited to
indulge themselves in
the vice of their choices.
In the process,
they make my customers,
my associates more comfortable.
Well, your associates
seemed quite satisfied.
How about you Mr. Batania?
Call me Charles.
Will you come this way please?
* music
So, tell me --
Charles,
where are your manners?
I left them at the door.
But you were
such a gentleman before.
You talk too much.
Why don't you show me
what else you can do.
For measly 5,000 dollars?
Measly?
My, what a confident lady.
Come here, here.
[drawer opening]
Indulge yourself.
[papers crinkling]
What are you looking at?
You never seen
a hundred dollar bill before?
Who invited you anyway?
A good friend of yours,
Lenny G.
You're under arrest.
Stupid!
Stupid woman.
Go ahead.
Shoot.
The gun is empty.
Go on shoot!
[guns clicking]
She is a cop!
[fighting]
[groans]
Has anybody seen Melinda?
Let's get out of here.
[gun fire]
Stop them!
They're cops!
[fighting]
[fighting]
[loud bang]
[gunshot]
You're finished,
you piece of shit!
You just killed a cop.
I'm gonna smash that
counterfeiting ring of yours.
It's not my ring.
I don't deal it.
I just buy it.
Who deals it?
Answer me before
I blow your fucking head off.
His name is David.
It's his operation.
It's not my ring.
Keep talking.
It's 240 McCaan,
the old warehouse district.
But I can't promise you
that anybody will still
be alive when you get there!

Money, money, everywhere.
Nina, what do say we
scrape off a few bills
off the top, catch us a flight
to Rosarita Beach.
Lose ourselves in
a bottle of Cuervo Gold,
and if you're good,
I'll let you swallow the worm.
In France, we have a term
for men like you, Jack.
Yeah, what do you call that?
American.
* music
She is worse than my old lady.
[laughter]
Yeah, but I bet
she's worth it.
Right, Sims?
* music
David, your new plates
* music
David, your new plates
have tripled our business
in the last month.
That's because
they're perfect.
They're art, purer.
I expect a larger cut,
much larger.
Of course you do,
you're my right hand,
you're my partner.
I'll take care of you.
I don't need any one to
take care of me.
I want what's coming to me.
Nina, without me you would
still be whoring for a living.
I was doing fine
before I met you and
I was never a whore.
You bounce
from millionaire to millionaire
like a ping pong ball.
That's a whore in my book.
But it doesn't matter.
That's the past and
I took you away from it.
So, don't tell me
what I owe you!
Understand?
[cart pushing]
Okay, let's get these out
in the truck.

Narrator: Attention all units,
be advised,
we have a stolen squad car
heading east on [indistinct]
Attention two [indistinct]
that's the two assholes
up in front of us.
Oh, we're screwed man,
we're dead.

Alright, hold on.

Thanks.

[police siren]
They took a right.
I'm heading them off of

[police siren]
We lost them man!
We lost them!
Told you.
[loud bang]
Oh shit!
[car crashing]
[car door]
Freeze!
What the hell are we
going to do now?
Half our cash
was left behind.
Cops will trace the numbers
and then everything we have
will be worth shit.
We have to dump it all ASAP.
I sent Tommy to sell
as much as possible.
Did you at least
save the plates?
Yes, I have them.
Where are they?
They're safe.
Where?
I said, they're safe.
You know what the penalty
for having this much
counterfeit dough is?
This much?
Yeah.
I was hitchhiking,
and he picked me up.
In a stolen police car?
20 years in the
state penitentiary asshole!
Now, give me a name!
The name is Tommy.
Tommy who?
Tommy Johnson.
* music
Hi, Wade.
* music
Hi, Wade.
Oh shit!
Long time no see.
Look, I love to stay and chat
and everything, alright,
but you know
I got to go.
You look nervous Wade.
Not back on crack again
are you?
Shit!
No man.
I just say no to that shit.
Crack kills right?
Why are you hacking at me
like this, man?
I'm not doing anything.
I'm just standing here
being cool, man.
I don't know anything.
I don't know anybody man.
You seem a little paranoid,
Wade.
Paranoid?
I'm not paranoid.
Are you paranoid?
Relax Wade.
We're looking for your old
partner, Tommy Johnson.
He wasn't at home.
We thought you might
know where he is.
It seems he's
passing some fake bills.
No man.
I don't know where he is man!
I don't get any counterfeit 20s
or anything.
Didn't say you did.
Did I say that, McKay?
No!
He mentioned it himself!
Sounds like probable cause
to me.
What do we have here Wade?
They're cops!
[surprised]
They're cops!
[groans]
Is that money real, Wade?
Get off of me man.
[indistinct]
I'm not the only one
who has it, man.
Tommy came in here,
passed the shit up.
Everybody in the bar
has that stuff.
Not just me man.
That guy has some,
that guy has some...
Everybody man!

Wade, you don't look too good.
Oh, I bet that's gonna hurt.
You shot me man!
[groans]
This sucks!
I think you'll live.
[heavy breathing]
So, where's Tommy?
He's staying at
his girlfriend's over in
Orange in Wilshire.
[groans]
Thanks!
Hey Wade!
Congratulate me,
I'm getting married.
Freeze!
Hands on your head!
Oh man, what are you doing?
We're doing nothing wrong.
Oh yeah?
What's that?
It's a little cocaine.
But other than that,
we ain't doing nothing.
Hey Nick.
You keep forgetting,
are these things legal?
Oh, probably not
anymore legal than this.
Hey man, the money
ain't even real.
Oh shit!
I didn't mean that..
Tommy, I think
we need to talk.
[phone rings]
Hello.
Hi Tommy.
Who are these people?
What do I look like, a rat?
You're my very good friend.
I'm telling you they're cool.
They'd better be,
I'm trusting you.
I'll send Nina.
Alright
[phone hang up]
That's it.
Tommy, you're beautiful.
Isn't he great?
A model citizen.
[slapping]
You need to make a delivery.
To who?
Tommy.
I don't trust
that fat bastard.
I told you, we got to
get rid of this shit.
Tommy has already sold
what he has and now,
he has got another buyer.
But he needs the paper.
Besides, you're not supposed to
trust him.
You're supposed to trust me.
[sigh]
I'll pick up the guys
on the way.

Get your hands up!
[gun clanks]
[indistinct]
Just give me one reason,

[jail door closes]
Ms. McKay,
what a pleasant surprise.
You look tired.
I guess you'll be hitting
the singles bars again, huh?
I'm sorry I spoiled
your wedding plans.
Don't take it personally.
I don't even know you.
You were just in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
Well, actually, he was.
Why did you come here?
Well, I guess, you're not
much of a talker today.
So, I will excuse myself.
Good day.
Why?
I beg your pardon?
Did you say something?
Why did you do it?
Why did you kill him?
That is a fair question.
[sigh]
I did it because I wanted to.
Any more questions?
I think you killed him
for the same reason
you killed everybody else,
because you couldn't kill
that one man
you really wanted to.
Your father is already dead.
I see you've done a little
research on me Ms. McKay.
God!
You're so smart.
Yes, my father beat me,
he abused me,
and I'm just basing my rage
on every man that crosses me.
You're father beat you
because you killed your mother.
It's a lie and you know it.
She died giving birth to me.
I did not kill my mother.
Well, your father
seemed to think so.
Yes he did, and he died
before I was old enough
to realize he was wrong.
You're a pathetic
little woman, Nina.
So, you came here to tell me
I'm pathetic?
No.
I came here to tell you that
you're damn lucky that
these bars are between us,
and you better pray
it stays that way.
Well, it might not
stay that way.
Have you ever been imprisoned
Ms. McKay?
I suppose not.
It's very cold, very lonely,
very dismal.
An empty cell.
A chair with no one
to sit in it.
Out of sheer desperation,
you end up talking to yourself,
holding entire conversation
with no one.
That's what it's like to be
alone, Ms. McKay.
Get used to it.
Coming out of the elevator.
Ms. Lindell!
Ms. Lindell!
How do you--
Why did you do it?
[rustle]
[shouting]
[rolling in stairs]
You bitch!
I'm gonna kill you!
Do you hear me?
Newscaster: In the Los Angeles
courthouse tonight where
she was convicted for
the murder of police sergeant,
Nicolas Taylor,
Nina Lindell was literally
attacked right on
the courthouse steps.
Her attacker was none other
than detective Kristine McKay,
the fiancée of
the murdered officer.
McKay, I know what
you're going through.
But there is no
goddamn excuse.
I'm gonna do
what I can to prevent
an IA investigation--
Yeah, just what we need.
Internal Affairs
crawling up our assess.
Knock it off!
McKay, you may have to
take a vacation
until this blows over.
[badge banging]
I quit.
McKay, come on.
It doesn't have to
come to this.
Probably better this way,
McKay.
Maybe we won't lose
any more cops.

Hand me my paper.
Pardon?
My paper.
You're stepping on it.
I didn't think
I was gonna make it.
The police were arresting
some gang kids up the street.
You hear about
drive-by shootings
in neighborhoods like this.
So, is Mr. McKay here?
No.
No?
We had an appointment.
My secretary set it--
I'm McKay.
You're this McKay?
You have a partner?
Do you want protection or not?
Well, yeah.
I need a bodyguard.
But to be frank,
you don't think anybody
would want a bodyguard
who is a girl.
I mean, do you think you can
handle it?
[groans]
[thud]
I doubt it.
[door slammed]
My lawyer is gonna
hear about this!

What do you think?
I want my money.
Well, right, your money.
I'll get it.
Have you seen Jake?
I'm looking for him.
No, I haven't seen Jake.
You know things are a little
hairy after you got busted.
Clients got real paranoid.
What is this?
It's your money.
I had 17,000 dollars.
I told you,
the clients got paranoid.
No one was taking
the play dough.
The shit was useless alright?
This guy offered me 200 bucks
for the whole lot.
200 dollars for 17,000?
For 17,000 shit dollars.
Hey, I did you a favor.
And now, I'm going to
do you a favor.
[gun fires]
Adieu.
So you're gonna
get off your ass
and do something today?
I mean, look at this place,
it's a dump.
Why don't you, like, take out
the trash or sweep the floor.
Get some order in this place.
The place stinks Flash.
You just sit there
day after day after day.
[dog whimpering]
Don't you miss life?
[dog whimpering]
Oh, neither do I.
Do you think people
get second chances?
[dog whimpering]
Well, it doesn't matter anyway.
'Cause if you screw it up once,
you're just gonna
screw it up again.
[phone rings]
Yeah?
Is this Kristine McKay
of McKay's Protection Services?

Where is Lawton Hobbs?

Where is Lawton Hobbs?
He is right over there.
Are you the plumber?
The cabana toilet
is totally clogged.
No.
I'm not the plumber.
* music
[people chattering]

[people chattering]
I love ladders.
I need a partner.
Hey who wants to play with me?
Excuse me.
Are you the plumber?
No, I'm not the plumber.
What?
Some sort of a
singing telegram?
You wish.
Kristine McKay.
Oh!
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me.
I'm Lawton Hobbs and and I wanna
thank you for coming.
Do you play ping pong?
'Cause I need a partner.
I don't play ping pong.
Oh, nonsense.
Everybody plays ping pong.
Come on.
Alright.
Zero.
Zero.
[ping pong ball bouncing]
So here's the deal.
I'm an entrepreneur,
an investor, and a connoisseur.
[chuckles]
Come on McKay.
Help me out here.
Zero, one.
As I said, I'm a connoisseur,
connoisseur of
the opposite sex.
[ping pong ball bouncing]
I love women.
Women of all kinds.
I love the beautiful,
plain, sweet--
Come on.
Sexy, sleazy, sophisticated.
I like women in leather.
Is there a point
to any of these?
I'm sorry.
I got carried away.
Yes.
Last year,
I was dating this woman.
We got very serious,
and I almost married her.
After series of events,
I found out that she was
certifiably insane,
so naturally I broke it off.
So, you want protection
from a psycho ex-girlfriend?
She murdered a man.
I refused to pay
for her lawyer.
She got life.
She swore revenge,
which I did not worry about
until last night.
She broke out of prison.
What's the name of
this woman?
That's why I want you.
It's Nina Lindell.
* music
I didn't come here
to play games.
[racket clanking]
Hey!
McKay.
How do you know she escaped?
Don't you read the paper?
Do you know what happened
between Lindell and I?
Of course I do.
You know and yet you still
have me playing ping pong?
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
Look.
I need a bodyguard
and you're the best person
for the job.
Get someone else.
[car engine starts]
[car speeds away]
Look!
I thought you'd jump
at this opportunity.
It's about time
you showed up.
[car stopping]
[phone rings]
Mrs. Goddard.
Why didn't you tell me
Lindell escaped?
First of all McKay, you're not
a police officer anymore,
it's none of your business.
Second of all,
I'm not your message service.
I'll call you back later.
[car running]
Hey!
Is the plumber here yet?
Yes.
I believe he's upstairs
in the bathroom.
* music
Jesus!
* music
Jesus!
I'm just here to fix
the toilet!
Get out!
[mini truck sped away]
[gate crashes]
Hey partner!
It's the toilet in the cabana.
You got something
against plungers?
You got something
against plungers?
[birds chirping]
Nina!
What a pleasant surprise!
You're still a cocky bastard.
You haven't lost any of
your charm, I see.
Nina, we have so many
good memories in this bedroom.
Are you sure you want to
spoil them like this?
You know exactly what I want.
[birds chirping]
Where's Hobbs?
Upstairs.

Look Isaac, you don't have to
play dumb with me.
I already know you're an
arrogant son of a bitch!
So just tell me where Nina is
'cause I know damn well
you know.
I'm losing my patience here.
Definitely losing my patience.
You don't want that to happen.
Get him out of here.
We're talking about
an escaped cop killer,
Mr. Hobbs.
I don't need to tell you
how dangerous this one is.
No shit, Captain.
I dated her for
a year and a half.
Look!
I have detectives
specially trained
for this kind of thing.
I want McKay.
I can't authorize that.
You don't have to.
I'm hiring Ms. McKay
as my personal bodyguard.
Mr. Hobbs,
this is Sergeant Ostendorf.
He is one of my best men, sir.
I don't know how many times
I have to go into this,
but I want McKay.
That's why I'm hiring her.
Let me get this straight.
You want a woman
protecting you?
Yeah.
Who would you rather be with
24 hours a day?
He is a qualified
professional.
Yeah, but he is not as cute.
Sorry sergeant.
You're not funny.
Look!
I know you have to do
whatever you can
to bring Lindell in,
but I don't want a bunch of
rent-a-cops hanging around
my house eating donuts.
I want somebody
who is dedicated.
I want somebody who has
a personal stake in this
and I want somebody who can
give me a massage
once in a while.
I can't believe
I'm on your side.
[footsteps]
You're the cockiest person
I've ever met.
I didn't know
you're impressed.
It's not a compliment.
Yes, it is.
Hey McKay!
Wait up!
Listen, if you find
something out, I wanna know.
You're not an
investigator anymore.
You wanna change that?
Come and talk to me.
Try to take care of this one
a little better than
your last boyfriend.
Shut up.
What?
* music
Here, let me get that
for you.
It's no problem.
I want to.
She's kinda cute, isn't she?
Yes sir.
[footsteps]
Here you are.
Don't you have butlers
for that?
They're busy.
Room okay?
It's fine.
Make the house yours.
Use everything, pool, jacuzzi,
game room.
Everything a growing
playboy needs.
Not everything.
Excuse me.
So, how'd you meet up
with Lindell?
We have mutual
business associates.
What kind of business.
Am I in trial here?
Should you be?
I have enough real money
Ms. McKay.
I don't need the fake stuff.
You didn't answer
my question.
Plastics.
Plastic forks, plastic spoons,
knives, cups.
Plastic [indistinct]
Incorporated.
My father founded it.
You've been on a picnic McKay?
You probably ate your
peanut butter and jelly
sandwich off one of my plates.
Plastic.
It fits.
Having this around
is not gonna help you.
Suddenly
you're a psychiatrist?
You're just easy to read.
Listen up Hobbs, I'm not
here for you to read me,
I'm not here to play ping pong.
I'm here to keep you safe.
So, if you wanna flirt,
just go find one of your
little playmates.
I'm not interested.
Natasha.
You remember their names?
Breakfast is tomorrow, 9:00.
Bring your good cheer.
Hey Hobbs,
we have a problem.
Who called the plumber?
My staff takes care of that.
I know my staff for years.
Clayton all my life.
Read somewhere else.
Isaac Barry?
He's in room 13.
I want you to do me a favor.
You keep an eye on McKay.
That woman is a tight wire.
If she snaps, God help
whoever's around her.
God help her
if she's around me.
What do you have
against this lady?
Off the record?
Yes.
There is a war going
in the streets, Captain.
Now, I don't mind a female
sitting behind a desk
pushing pencils,
but I don't want one
in the battlefield with me.
Hey it's the '90s.
Woman don't put up
with that shit anymore.
* music
Well, well, well.
* music
Well, well, well.
Look who's back in town.
I've been looking for you.
Been right here, darling.
Let's talk.
* music
You know, ever since
the shop was down, no one
seems to know where the plates
have disappeared.
Stranger things
have happened.
I want the plates.
I don't have the plates,
maybe you ought to go
talk to Hobbs.
I'm working on that.
Are you hiding something
from me?
Listen baby,
if I had these plates,
do you think I'd be
sitting here in this dive?
Sorry.
I'm a little tense.
You know when a man
gets out of joints,
he got a whole lot of pressure
he wants to be releasing.
[chuckles]
I bet that's all you need.
What do you say?
I've got this burning fire
in my pants right now.
We'll maybe we should
put it out.
Yeah.
[water poured]
Shit!
Shit!
Did I extinguish the fire?
No shit!
Let me put it back.
Oh Shit!
Jesus!
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
[door opens and closes]
[beeps]
Excuse me, who watches
the monitors?
Clayton suppose to,
but usually no one does.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[birds chirping]
Clayton, who called
the plumber yesterday?
I did, ma'am.
Your alarm system is off.
You have a security system
but no one is
watching the monitors.
That's my responsibility
ma'am.
I apologize.
I don't want an apology.
I just want you to
do your job.
Yes ma'am.
That's what I'd like to see.
Starting the day off
in a good note.
You look nice this morning.
That's what I call
a compliment.
Generally responded to with
a thank you or perhaps
just a smile.
Now, a smile is
a facial expression displaying
certain pleasant emotions
like happiness or affection.
I bet you can do it if you try.
Stop acting like a child.
I'm gonna hold my breath
until you smile.
I'm gonna hold my breath
until you smile.
Why is it that people like you
are the ones that have
so much money.
Remind me to compliment you
more often.
Mr. Hobb's mother died
giving birth to him.
Lawton's father died of a
heart attack when he was 12.
It's my speculation that his
childhood was taken from him
at far too young an age.
Would you like some eggs?
No.
Thanks.

Charles,
this is a great investment.
LA.
This is the deal
of the century.
I'm up to my ears already.
Do you think that Las Vegas
really needs another casino?
Ahh, but this casino
will cater only to the
upper escelones of society.
Dick and James
from Duluth, Michigan.
This is a sweet deal.
The kind a sugar daddy likes.
Sign it.
Excuse me.
I was wondering how much of
your own money you have invested
in his Mr. Hohnbaum.
Who's this?
Your girlfriend?
Or your financial adviser?
She's my bodyguard.
Bodyguard?
Answer the lady's question
clearly.
How much of your own money
you got in this?
Well, let's say I have
a a definite amount--
Get down.
[gun firing]
Oh my God!
[rustle]
Stay here.
Stay down.
Sign.

I talked to the doctor.
He cannot help you,
but he did recommend
a good blacksmith.
See, there's a smile.
I must be suffering delusions.
You got a good smile,
you should use it more.
Why do you have to be
such a flirt?
It's a compliment.
I'm not a flirt.
Oh yeah, right,
you're a connoisseur of women.
That's a title bestowed
upon me by multitudes of women.
Yeah, multitudes, I'm sure.
Uh-hum, who surround me
because of my--
Let me guess, because of
your incredible charm.
Because of my money.
It could be your charm.
How does a woman as attractive
as you get to be a cop?
Now see?
That's charming.
A bit sexist.
A little sexism
keeps women on their toes.
A typical male statement.
A typical female reaction.
Men and women are different.
Why do you want them
to be the same?
Who said I want them
to be the same?
You know, I didn't want to be
a cop forever.
I thought someday
I'd raise a family.
Just didn't turn out like that.
Get some sleep.
* music
[door opening]
So, what do you think
about her Clayton?
She's decent.
You think she is better than
my last girlfriend, Shelly?
Kelly.
Kelly.
Yes.
How about Sandy?
Absolutely.
Katarina?
Most definitely.
I think so, too.
Lawton, this young lady
is very---
Uhh.
Yeah.
I'm gonna
get myself some coffee.
Would you like some?
I'm fine.
Clayton?
Yes?
Thank you.
[footsteps]
[China tea set clanking]
Who's the tea for?
Ms. McKay.
Oh.
[metal clanking]
Oh, dear.
[groans]

[birds chirping]
Can I get you anything else?
No.
That's fine.
Thanks.
Wait.
Wait a second.
[Tea cups clanking]
Maria, could you
try this for me.
I'm sure it's fine sir.
I just want to make sure
that's hot enough.
What's going on here?
I didn't hire you, did I?
Nina did when she lived here.
[groans]
[scream]
I'll call the police.
Clayton.
I was wrong about you.
I'm sorry.
No apologies necessary ma'am.
You're good for Lawton and
whether you realize it or not,
he may be good for you.
* music
[footsteps]
I guess I owe you thanks.
You don't owe me anything.
We'll thanks anyway.
I'm the bodyguard
and you ended up
saving my ass twice.
Your ass is definitely
worth it.
Besides, you saved mine
twice, too.
We're even.
But it's my job.
Another job I can't handle.
[indistinct] seems to think
you made
one hell of a police officer.
[sigh]
Do you ever feel your life is
falling apart piece by piece?
Mine fell apart.
I lost my mother, my father,
my brother is gone
and I'm still here.
So, you had a brother?
My brother was an artist.
He made this for me.
I called it the guardian angel.
She spreads her
protective wings over all those
who stand before it.
I guess she should have kept it
to protect himself.
Have you ever heard of
this place?
I'm looking for Nina Lindell.
Do you know her?
No.
You can check the guy
at the phone though.
Yeah.
I'll be home soon.
I'm taking care of business
right now.
Yeah.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Come on chuckledick,
you're up.
Alright, alright.
Hey, you know
even handicapped, I can still
whip all your assess.
[laughter]
What about me?
You think you can whip mine?
I can do a whole lot more
than that darling.
Oh, yeah!
You can roast some marshmallows
over his crotch.
Shut up Jimmy Lee!
Rack 'em, big boy.
Huh, how 'bout if I rack you
instead, darling?
I'm looking for
an old friend.
Her name is Nina Lindell.
Have you seen her?
Hey Jake!
Didn't you have a barbecue
with her the other night?
I said can it,
Jimmy Lee!
And who the hell are you?
I told you, I'm an old friend.
So, have you seen her recently?
Listen bitch, why don't you
just get the hell out of here.
I like it when you
talk nasty to me.

Where is she?
I don't know.
She was looking for the plates.
What plates?
The counterfeit plates.
What do you think?
I told her I didn't know
where they were but Hobbs does.
[groans]
[whistling]

You lied to me Hobbs.
She does not want you.
She wants the plates.
I met a good buddy of yours,
Jake Burback.
Come with me.
I wanna show you something.
I can't wait.
* music
His name is David.
He had a counterfeit operation
with Nina.
She shot him
and left him for dead.
He has been here ever since.
[footsteps]
How do you know this guy?
He's my brother.
Hey David.
I brought a friend today.
This is Kristine.
Hi.
Lawton.
Yeah.
I'm back in business.
Oh really.
She cool?
She's cool.
[paper crinkling]
What do you think we can
get for these on the street?
I don't know.
I've seen better.
[paper snapped]
Shit.
It's because they don't
give me the proper materials,
Christ.
I can't do good work with
crayons, but what can I do?
I just can't just ask for ink.
[laughter]
They'll know what I'm doing
in here.
[laughter]
These are really bad, huh?
Yeah.
David,
can I ask you a question?
I guess.
Where did you put the plates?
[Laughing]
What!
You brought a cop in here.
How could you do this to me?
[laughter]
I'm busted big time.
David.
She is not a cop.
So, where are the plates?
Would you like to know?
I hid them a long time ago.
Way before they threw me
in this [indistinct]
[laughter]
Everybody wanted them 'cause
they were so good.
You know Lindell is out
of jail.
[startled scream]
David.
Get the nurse.
Level with me, Hobbs.
Were you involved in this?
Of course I wasn't involved.
It's just David.
He always wanted to make it
on his own.
[car door opening]
You know, you're the only
person who knows about him,
who knows he is alive.

I'm sorry.
Where is the neighbor?
I don't want to hear
another word.
Nothin'.
You're not a police officer.
This is not your jurisdiction.
Shut up!
Damn it.
Leave him alone.
Calm down.
Get the hell out of here
everyone!
Just get the hell out--
Calm down!
You get out.
Okay, you're fired.
What?
You're fired.
Now, get the hell out.
You're out of this picture
McKay.
Lawton.
You wanna get killed?
She is after everyone.
She killed Clayton,
my brother.
I don't want that to happen
to you.
I'm your bodyguard.
Not anymore.
Listen up McKay, from now on
Sergeant Ostendorf here
will be assigned to
protect Mr. Hobbs.
So, stay out of it.
* music
Well, now that we got McKay
* music
Well, now that we got McKay
out of the way,
maybe we'll make some progress.
What you'd say there Hobbs?
I got to ask you something.
Why would a man
want a female bodyguard?
Shit, boy, where's your pride?
Let me ask you something.
Are you a sexist asshole
because you can't get laid
or because you're secretly
attracted to men?
You're not funny.
* music
Well, here we are again,
just the two of us.
Tell me something Flash.
Why am I so stupid?
I can't believe I actually
started to care for that...
that...
[dog whimpering].
Why'd you let me feel that way?
You know he's so...
He's just so egotistical.
He's childish.
He's pompous.
He's spoiled and you know
he just thinks he's so funny.
[dog whimpering]
So what if he is charming.
[dog whimpering]
Yeah, he's handsome, tall,
sincere.
Well, if you think
he's so sexy,
why don't you go out with him?
Do you think people get
a second chance?
Well then get off your butt
and do something.
Come on, let's go.
[dog whimpering]
Hi David, how you doing?
Do you remember me?
You probably don't want to,
right?
You know your brother
cares so much for you.
I don't know if you can
hear me,
but I think there is something
that you really
ought to know.
The same woman
that shot you, well,
she is trying to kill Lawton.
The only thing that can
save him is getting those
counterfeit plates.
That's what she wants.
I'll level with you.
I was a cop, but not anymore.
I quit.
She killed someone
really close to me.
I'm not gonna let that
happen again.

David.
You need to help me.
Do you understand?
Do you understand
what I'm telling you?
Please.
Help me.

She's hurt us both.
David, your brother
needs your help.
David, your brother

I'm just trying to help.
I already have

Oh, it's good to see you.
Let me make you a drink.

Is that a no?

For the last time,
where are the plates?
In the china cabinet.

Why are you hiding them?
You don't use them.
You're hiding something.
Someone else knows
where they are.
Am I right?
You're reaching for shit now,
Nina.
You're the one person who'll
know where the plates were.

Where are the plates?
Drop your guns.

Kill another cop?
