Shit.
Little late.
Yeah, tell me
about it.
I'm all out of spares.
Should have been
home hours ago.
That's got it.
Thanks.
See you in
a half hour?
Open up!
Give my regards
to broadway.
What did I tell you about
screwing around with my books?
I didn't touch your fag rags,
you understand?
Who's touching them then?
There's only you and me in here!
Piss off!
Don't fuckin' tell me to piss off.
I just did, asshole.
We got a problem
in a cell downstairs.
Hey, Billy!
Give it to him!
Do it!
I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
God!
Will you
take it easy!
All right, put him up here.
Ahhh!
Fuck you.
Don't move.
Doc, keep your shoes
in one place, man.
Fuck you too.
Hey...
Hey!
Stick, we
gotta go!
I want to ask you
a question.
Do you think it's humane
To pump perfectly
sane prisoners
Full of filoxin
and thorazine?
Come on, man, let's
get out of here.
All right, we got
Three minutes.
Let go.
Let go, man!
Get in the box!
Get in the box!
Ow!
Okay, see you
next week.
Right.
Night.
Good night, thanks.
Are we out?
Are we out?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Who's this?
Uh, that's, uh,
Maria McGuire.
She came a couple times
to visit Montgomery.
2221 Speck Road,
Seattle.
Is that address
current?
I hope so.
That's all we got.
May I?
Thank you.
Hey, you want these eggs hot?
You want me freeze them?
Come on, pick them up!
Thank you.
Don't get your hands too close to his mouth.
Anything else?
Yeah, I'd like another
coffee, please.
Okay.
And a side order of sausage!
You bet.
How long has he
been in there?
About ten minutes.
That is disgusting.
Really?
Do you eat like that
in front of your mother?
It's an old
family custom.
It's not healthy.
You gotta take your time.
Do you have any idea what that
does to your digestive system?
No, but I'm afraid
you're gonna tell me.
You've got to savour the qualities of the cuisine.
First the smell...
For Christ's sake...
There he is.
Come on, let's go.
Pay the cheque.
There he is.
He's not here.
You check upstairs;
I'll take the docks.
Oh, no, no...
I picked up the check;
you take the fish.
Oh, shit!
You're under arrest.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!
Bill!
Bill!
Stop! Police!
Bill!
Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Sorry... my fault.
Sorry.
Oh god, oh god.
What do you think
you're doing?
Hey!
Freeze!
Lace your fingers
above your head
And turn around
towards me.
Now you're under arrest.
Get back!
Whoa!
Chris!
God, I hate this part.
* I'm on fire...
* desire...
Took you long enough.
* My one desire
* desire to win...
Free air,
man, free air.
You don't know
what this means.
You have no idea.
Let's move.
Hi, Bernie, I'd
like some prints.
And there's blood
on the blade.
I'd like to have it typed.
Thank you.
What is
that smell?
Chris, oh, oh...
Somebody's been
in a fight, Jack.
What, nobody
in cuffs here?
This means
something...
Wait a minute.
I think
that means
Somebody got
their ass kicked.
Complaints.
I'm Bernie.
Okay.
God, you stink!
Hey, guys?
Captain wants to see you in his office ASAP.
ASAP?
I'd like to take a shower first.
Please.
I wish you would, but
by the sound of his voice
I think he'll see you as is.
Wait a minute,
chuckles.
Captain wants to see you, too.
What did
you do now?
What the hell happened to you?
You look like
you got your ass kicked.
No, no, don't sit there.
Shut the door.
Gentlemen, this is
Agent Thomas Lusk
From the regional
FBI Headquarters.
Detective Bill Reimers...
Hey, Billy.
That's Chris
Lecce over there.
Chris.
Ah, Phil Coldshank.
Pleasure.
And Jack Pismo.
Right on.
He said,
"right on."
The FBI Has
requested help
Over the next
couple of weeks
So your cases have
been reassigned.
Whoa, reassigned?
We are close to
breaking this...
A forklift, wasn't it?
From now on you're working
full time on this.
- Kleenex, please.
- In the drawer there.
Mr. Lusk is in charge
of this operation
So I'll let him
to the talking.
I don't know if you're
familiar with Montgomery
But in case you're not,
two years ago
He killed one
of our agents.
He shoulda had the chair,
but he had a sharp attorney
And the local police
were too zealous
In their pursuit
of evidence.
A plea-bargain
kept him from frying.
Busted out of
Stonehurst?
Killed a guard?
Yeah, he and his cousin
crossed into Wyoming
Ditched their truck
and had a car waiting.
If he's in Wyoming,
why are you here?
We think he'll
head for Mexico
But he has friends here
So we're setting up
a half-dozen stakeouts.
We'll handle the
important ones
But since we're
a little short on help
Your men will
take the others.
Of course.
Who we watching?
He has an
old girlfriend here.
He hasn't seen her
for a year and a half.
Her name is Maria McGuire.
You'll be watching her house.
The second precinct takes the
restaurant where she works.
Here are the keys to the apartment we rented
Across the street
from where she lives.
We have to move
on this one quick.
I know it's
short notice
But this is real bad
people we're after.
Do we get a bug?
Hopefully,
within 24 hours.
Ah, just one
other thing...
if you spot
Montgomery, report it.
Nothing more.
Remember, this is
an FBI operation.
Wait a second.
Excuse me, captain.
There's something a little ripe here.
Let me ask a question.
What you're asking is,
you'd like us to sit on our butts
On some low-priority
shit detail
On the off-chance that we'll
run across some "bad people"
And then what are we supposed to do?
We're supposed
to give you a jingle
So you can make the arrest
and get the keys to the city?
Excuse me, captain,
I'm sorry.
I don't like to
sound negative
But this is bullshit.
I'm a cop.
You understand me?
I'm not a
security guard.
I see some bad people
I'm going to be a little
too busy to make a phone call.
I hope the attitude
Doesn't affect
the performance.
Would you like to see how this attitude...
Are you through
Mr. Lecce?
We'll call.
What an asshole.
Definitely.
Hey, hey!
I don't want to hear
that kind of crap.
I don't want to hear that
someone else heard it, got it?
This is a 24-hour surveillance.
Jack and Phil will
take the day shift
Chris and Bill
the nights.
Same routine
as last time.
Something bothering you
Mr. Coldshank?
No, no.
Don't bullshit me.
What's on your so-called mind?
If it's all the same to you, sir,
I'd just as soon not
Be on a stakeout
with them again.
Hear, hear, sir.
Why?
Why?
Yeah. Why?
Chris and Bill
are slobs, sir.
No, no.
On the last stakeout
we were on with them
They never once cleaned
up after themselves.
Look at them.
Smell him.
Lick my left one,
buddy!
You left cigar butts
all over the place.
Oh, please.
You never changed
the toilet paper.
You are disgusting.
You are filth.
What about his dog?
He let his dog piss
all over the carpet.
That's a goddamn lie.
Come on, come on.
Don't blame the dog.
Phil did all the pissing.
How'd you like me
to piss on you?
Sit down.
Sit down!
I think I broke
my zipper.
That's enough.
This is not an invitation
to a prom, boys.
I don't give a shit if
you don't like the date.
You gentlemen will
watch this broad
Until the fat lady sings
or I say different.
And if you fuck this up
I'll take your nuts
and tie them in a knot
And run them
through my shredder.
- Captain?
- Yeah?
Phil doesn't have
any nuts, sir.
Get out, get out.
- Downwind, please.
All right,
that's hers.
And we're there.
Home sweet home.
I hope the place
has got some heat.
Carol's okay with
all this, isn't she?
Bonnie will kill me
if she finds out
We're gonna be here
for a couple weeks.
* Heigh-Ho, heigh-Ho
* it's off to work we go...
Ugh.
"Lucy!
You got some
explaining to do."
Very attractive.
I think Jason
lives here.
Phew-Wee.
What a nightmare.
Really.
What the hell did we
do to deserve this?
We sent that stripper to
the captain on his birthday.
We should have sent the woman.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I screwed up.
Hello.
Hello, baby.
Hi.
Where are you?
Right now I'm freezing my butt off,
staring through a telescope
At a house on Speck Road.
Didn't anyone ever tell you
that's against the law?
No personal calls.
No personal calls.
Chris and I got a stakeout
on the night shift.
That does it.
I'm crossing the captain
off the Christmas list.
Uh, Chris says hi.
That's nice.
So how long is this one
supposed to take?
Couple weeks.
A couple of weeks?
Jeffrey will be full
grown next time you see him.
Yeah, I hope he remembers me.
I gotta go, okay?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Be good. Bye.
Bye-Bye.
Pizza.
We're in luck.
We got every room covered,
except the bathroom.
Hey, you know, maybe
You should call Bonnie.
She'd only yell.
I'm not in the mood.
Well, I can call her.
You want me to call?
No, no, no, that's okay.
I can call her.
I can take care of
my own love life.
Thank you very much.
Get away, get away.
She's probably in bed
with some other guy.
Poor bastard.
Poor bastard.
So, who we
watching anyway?
Ah, Miss Maria Guadalupe...
Guadalupe?
...McGuire.
Irish-Mexican.
A waitress going to night school,
but not this quarter.
She drives a 1980 Volkswagen.
Lives alone.
Nothing.
Long brown hair,
brown eyes.
Hmm.
5'6
Too tall.
For us, anyway. Too tall.
Oh, and the moment we've
all been waiting for...
313 pounds.
313 pounds?
Let me see that!
That's fully clothed.
Oh, my god!
She could be the house!
This is disgusting!
I hate this job!
"They're dusting off
the hot seat for me."
"On the waterfront."
Who said it?
Lee J Cobb.
The 16th president
of the U.S.?
I don't know.
Here's a hint.
Abe Lincoln.
You're right.
Okay, what movie,
what movie?
"Well, this was not
a boating accident."
I don't know.
You're hopeless.
15th president of
the United States.
I don't know. Fillmore.
Buchanan.
Give me another one.
1980 Volkswagen, right?
Right.
The rock's in the sock.
We got some
movement, buddy.
This is Guadalupe?
Turn around.
I think she's gone on a diet.
Are you going to shoot pictures
Or draw some from memory?
Right, right.
Excuse me.
Pardon me. Pardon me.
Excuse me.
My fault.
There you go.
There you go.
God, she's cute.
It's 2:30.
I better make
some notes.
She's walking
into the kitchen.
Now she's walking
across the room.
Where's she going?
Looks to be
the bedroom.
What's she doing?
Looks like, uh...
Like what?
Like she's undressing.
My God!
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah...
No, no, no!
No, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no!
Argh! Argh!
Argh! Argh!
To protect and to serve.
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I love my job so much.
Jack, Jack.
Winston, take a break.
Good dog.
You like that?
What, did you
teach him that?
That's good.
Oh, will you
stop that?!
Such a kid sometimes.
Oh, yeah, finally.
She came in at 2:30
in the morning.
She hasn't been up since.
Good-Bye.
Just replace what you steal
All right?
What a dump.
Looks like your
place, huh, Phil?
Funny.
Watch Winston,
will you?
I'm going to
take a break.
All right.
It's started.
Cute.
Very cute!
Amateurs.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah?
So the answer to the quiz
"Why didn't Bonnie
answer the phone?"
Is that she's moved out.
Do you know what time it is?
Yeah. You want to
go back to sleep?
I already tried that.
It's too goddamn light.
Well, then, pull the shades.
I can't.
She took them.
She took the shades?
She paid for them.
Sorry I didn't get the phone.
What do you want me to do,
let you go back to sleep?
Uhm... no, no.
Look, there's nothing you can
do about it right now, anyway.
Hmm...
Did you crack the seal yet?
Nope.
Well, then, put it back.
Okay, dad.
Oh, oh... good news...
We get the phone
bug tonight.
Yippee.
Kiss Carol for me.
Mmm...
Lower... Good-Bye.
How's Chris?
Okay.
And how are you?
I'm tired.
Tired?
Mmm...
Not that tired.
* I was looking
over your shoulder *
* you were next to me...
do you ever think
About what happens
after you die?
After I die?
You know what's
going to happen?
I'm going to be
reincarnated...
...as a judge.
Forget it, bad topic.
So, I want to get paid, right?
Figure she still has your money?
I know she's
still got my money.
How do you know?
You haven't seen her
In a year and a half.
Yes, but she doesn't know
She's got it.
...over to peter's. I'm sure
he'll have some money for bail.
I'm coming up to your house.
No, mom... mom, I'm hanging
up right now, all right?
Good-Bye.
Operator.
Operator, yeah.
Can you give me Seattle,
I mean, area code 206...
Yeah, what?
Don't you ever say "hello"?
You ready?
I'm ready when you are, C.B.
Okay, and let her answer
Before you cut them.
I don't know.
What did you do?
Yeah?
¿Como esta, Maria?
Hello?
Guess who this is.
Hello?
Hello, hello?
Hello?
Hi.
Sorry to disturb you.
I'm from the phone company.
Apparently there's a line
problem in the neighbourhood.
Seriously?
Isn't there something
wrong with your phone?
Yeah, my phone's dead.
I can't believe you're
already here.
Well, we got a lot
of calls, you know.
Whole neighbourhood is down.
Well... you know
It's really not a very
good time for me.
I have to be going.
I understand. I understand.
It would only take
a couple of minutes
But if it would be
a lot easier
We could come back
next week.
Ah... wait a minute.
If I don't have it fixed now
It'll be another couple of weeks?
No... no, no.
Five days, max.
Five days?
Come on, Maria.
How can you resist him?
Okay, if it doesn't take too long,
come on in.
Be out of your way
in just a second.
Bingo.
There we go.
Not bad for an old fart.
There's one
phone over there
And another in the bedroom.
Okeydoke.
I'll be out of your way
as fast as I can.
Hi, sailor.
She's in the bedroom
Tidying up, trying to
make a good impression.
Oops, don't look under the bed.
Okay, okay, now--
She's coming back.
Okay.
All checked out here.
Want to show me
the next one?
Sure.
Hi!
Now a word from our
sponsors...
She's in the kitchen
Just in case
you were wondering.
What's that?
Now is no time to be
pausing for news, Chris.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Chris, she is in the house.
Stop screwing around,
for Christ's sake.
If you blow this
and we get busted...
Goddamn it, Chris,
come on.
Stop messing around.
Chris, she's...
She's right there,
for Christ's sake.
Chris... Chris, she's coming.
Chris, she's coming.
She's coming!
Chris, goddamn it!
Jesus Christ!
I really can't wait any more.
I'm sorry.
Problem?
My brother is in a lot
of trouble right now.
He's down with the police
At the station
And there's bail
I have to take care of.
Something serious?
Yeah, I think it is.
Could you come back
Tomorrow maybe,
or..?
I'm done.
It's fixed?
The problem isn't
in the phone.
It's on the pole.
I have to check outside.
Oh.
Well...
Thanks a lot.
I'm in love, Bill.
I'm leaving you.
It happens to one
out of every six men.
I have to face up
to my heterosexuality.
But don't worry.
You'll be well provided for.
What the hell
were you doing?
What do you mean,
what was I doing?
I was putting in a bug,
for crying out loud.
Oh, really.
Is that what that was?
I don't call going through that woman's
drawers putting in a goddamn bug!
Oh, calm down.
Don't blow a bowel.
For crying out loud.
I thought I saw
something in her bureau
That would tell us whether or
not she talked to Montgomery.
Yeah, she's gone.
Give me the flashlight.
I'm going to go back in
there and check it out.
Come on.
No, no,
no, no, no.
No?
No.
Chris, this is the feds' party.
I am not gonna
get my ass canned
For illegal procedure.
"This is the feds' party.
I'm not gonna get my ass
canned for illegal procedure"?
Give me the
goddamn flashlight.
Nothing's gonna
happen to you.
The worst thing they could do to you
is suspend you for, what, three years.
Well, that's great.
I'm kidding!
Jesus. The man never knows
when I'm kidding.
I'm only making a little joke,
a little humour.
What a boner.
You there?
You in?
I'm in.
Then hurry up.
Car.
I'm sorry, sorry.
Are you kidding me?
You're sorry?
You're making me very nervous.
I'm making you nervous?
That's a hoot.
Okay, I think I got
something real important here.
A bunch of letters here,
all from Montgomery
And the last one's dated
about four months ago.
"Dear Maria...
"First you stop
coming to visit me
"And now you won't
even answer my letters.
"I understand you're lonely.
"I hear you're seeing
a couple of guys.
"Sometimes I get so mad that I
could wipe out a whole planet
And enjoy myself doing it."
How could she have dumped
a charmer like him?
All right, take this down.
I think we got
something to check out.
He apparently has a buddy
with the initials "B.C."
Right here in Seattle.
Seems to work on the docks.
Now he's talking
about some furniture.
He bought it for a present...
Does she still have it?
Apparently got it
for her birthday.
It's very important to him.
Holy shit!
What?
Get out of the house.
Get out
of the fuckin' house.
She's right there.
She's at the stairs.
Are you fucking
with me?
No, I'm not
fucking with you!
Get out of the house!
Come on, Chris.
Are you, crazy?
* At night
* when you turn off
all the lights *
* there's no place
that you can hide *
* no, no
* the rhythm is gonna get you
* the rhythm is gonna get you
What's going on in there?
Where the hell are you?
* The rhythm is gonna get you
* tonight.
* The rhythm is gonna get you
* tonight.
Ahhh...
Jesus!
Sergeant Bernie?
Yeah, this is Chris Lecce.
I'm fine, fine.
How are you?
Great.
I want you to run a make on
a guy named Reynaldo McGuire.
Yeah, find out any priors,
anything at all.
Thanks.
Oh, I'm just
enjoying my day off.
Bye.
Oh, come on.
There is no way, Chris!
There is no
way one bullet
Could have done
all that damage.
"No way"?
What does "no way" mean?
One bullet came from
the Grassy Knoll
The other from the Texas
school book depository.
How naive can you be?
You think the Chief Justice
of the United States lied?
Is that right?
That Gerald Ford lied?
Those bastards.
What?
They ate everything and left
us a goddamn dog turd!
Earl Warren left us
a dog turd?
No, Phil and Jack.
Why do you care
about that stuff?
You were five years old when it happened.
I don't know how yet,
but I'm going to get those guys, man.
Give me the keys to the car.
I'll go to the supermarket.
What do you want?
How about
some truth and justice?
What else?
Doughnuts.
Why not? We're cops.
Hi.
Hi.
The phone man, right?
Right, right.
How's your phone?
It still works.
Do you live
in the neighborhood?
No, no. I was in
the area working.
More lines down?
Always.
Are you satisfied
with the phone system?
You don't need anything
else installed?
Any trimline, or videophone,
or anything at all?
You a a phone man,
aren't you?
Why do you say that?
You're still working
on another line.
Get it?
Got it.
Good.
$16.13.
Hope your phone
breaks real soon.
You promise to fix it
If it does?
I promise.
Bye.
Eating in between meals?
"Eating in between meals?"
Wait a minute.
Don't go.
Oh, shit.
You wouldn't be headed
In my direction,
would you?
I'm sorry. I don't
know your name.
Oh... uh... eh... Bill.
Bill?
Bill.
I'm Maria.
Hi.
Can I make you a trade?
A cup of coffee
for a ride home?
My bike has
this stupid flat
And it's getting
ready to rain.
Well, uh...
Please?
Yeah, what the hell.
Good. Thank you.
We'll put it in the trunk.
Oh, I don't believe this!
Yeah?
Hi.
I'm going to be a little late.
No, no, take your time.
I'm having a cup of coffee.
Have two cups.
Nothing going on here...
just dull old police work.
Hey, great.
Tell me, how's that
forklift coming?
Heh-Heh-Heh...
I'll be about a half hour.
Where are my doughnuts,
you prick?
Maybe more.
You really are a nice guy,
aren't you?
Don't say that.
Why?
You are.
You gave me a ride home.
You're unpacking
my groceries.
You fixed
my phone.
You're nice.
I know, I know,
I'm nice, I'm nice.
I hate that.
It's a curse.
What?
It's like "medium."
I always wanted to be... bad.
Oh, these go in the sack.
Think bad is good?
Well, yeah.
I always wanted
a little bad.
I thought it would
make my "nice"
Better.
Let me tell you something...
Bad isn't all it's
cracked up to be.
Bad is bad
And I think right now I'd
settle for a little nice.
I think.
What are we
talking about?
Dinner.
Do you like
Mexican food?
I made this mean
camarones veracruzanos.
You like spicy?
I love spicy.
Good. Then you're gonna want
to marry me after this.
Ah, Chris... for crying out loud.
Oh, yeah.
Aw, this is ridiculous.
I'm going to kill him.
I was born on the
day of the dead.
It's a big deal
in Latino culture.
They do it to
make fun of death
And take it seriously
at the same time.
So every year, as long as I can remember,
someone in my family
Has always given me some
kind of skeleton
On my birthday.
And now I've got
this full graveyard.
Got a big family?
My younger brother lives
at home with my mom,
except this week
And I've got a ton of relatives
In Veracruz.
About your brother...
I... I happen
to know
A couple of cops.
I could ask around
Find out what's going on.
You think they'd tell you?
Yeah, if they want
their phones to work.
Oh, that would be nice.
Oh,
I'm sorry...
There's that
word again.
I kind of like your smile.
Well, I must be kind of drunk.
Maria, let me ask you something.
What, Mr. Bill?
How come you know so
much about what's bad?
Well...
There was this man once
And he was violent
And crazy, and dangerous
And I...
I was insane.
I was insane
Because I was with
him for a while.
It's all over now.
Did you love him?
I was crazy
I think.
Where is he now?
Why do you ask?
Why do you think?
I think I have to go.
Yeah, me, too.
I've got the late shift.
No, no, no, leave them.
I'll do them in
a couple of years.
Want to know what the best
thing you said tonight was?
What?
That you liked my smile.
Oh...
I know, I know...
I'm nice.
I know.
I'm not that nice.
Honey,
I'm home.
I bumped into her
at the goddamn store.
What was I supposed to do?
Pretend I'd never seen her before?
Huh?
Anyway, we're supposed to be watching the house.
So I was watching
the house...
From the inside.
Nothing.
Here are your doughnuts.
I didn't eat one of them,
and there was a glaze on it and everything.
I got you some Pringles and some Oreos.
You going to get together
with her again?
Maybe go to..?
Give me a break...
She made me dinner.
That was it.
Nothing more?
Nothing more.
Okay, mister liar.
Sergeant Bernie called.
Says that Reynaldo
McGuire was arrested
On the 17th
for a "G.T.A."
Wouldn't just happen
to be any relation,
would it?
Give me a break.
She told me her brother was in jail.
I checked it out.
I thought it was a lead.
A lead?
Yeah, a lead.
Fine. You tell me you're
checking out a lead.
I'm gonna believe
you're...
Checking out a lead.
I realise this is
a shit detail.
Oh, boy!
I mean, can we talk?
Nobody's gonna care what we do here.
Bottom of the barrel.
But I would appreciate
That you not act like
a walking hard-On
While we're working together.
Excuse me.
Succinctly put.
All the money in the cash register,
right now.
Okay, okay, take it easy.
Reach up and get me
A hunting knife,
would you please?
Sorry, we're closed.
72...
What've we got?
$273.
All right. That's plenty.
That's all we need.
All we need
is gas money.
It's hardly worth
rubbing people out for.
What?
Nothing.
What did I do now?
Reynaldo, isn't it?
Ray.
I heard you got yourself
into a little trouble.
You a cop?
You a criminal?
No.
This girl's father's
got it in for me.
He does?
Why?
Doesn't want me seeing his daughter.
She's pretty
precious, huh?
Yeah.
Why did you hot-wire the car?
We thought it would be okay.
I was stupid.
It's not very pleasant
being in here, is it?
Why do you care?
I just want to find out
What kind of a guy you are
Before I get you out.
Get me out.
I can't take another
night in this place.
You like to work
with your hands?
I've got a job here.
Construction.
Starts monday morning,
7:30 to 5:00
Five days a week.
Got to be home
every night.
That's the deal.
Every night.
Take it and you're out of here.
Mess with me
and you're back in.
What do you say?
Deal.
Okay.
What rock did they
find you under?
Anything I can do to make your
stay here more pleasant, buddy,
You just let me know.
Great.
Lecce... I want to talk to you.
Ohh...
You should be sleeping.
What are you doing?
I heard you wanted to talk to me.
A couple of cops
sitting on a stakeout
Just got caught
on a procedure.
Seems they got overanxious,
blew their cover.
I don't want this to happen here.
You pass it on...
No funny stuff.
No funny stuff.
Okay, you got it. Okay.
You got it.
Right.
Excuse me...
Bill... how are you?
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
What are you doing here?
I just had a...
uh, uh, uh...
No, no, no.
What are you doing here?
I heard you were
supposed to be at work.
They let me off early so I could see my brother.
They only have
certain hours here.
Hey, fishman.
One day we
dance again, okay?
Are you in some kind of trouble?
No, no.
He's just
a funny friend.
Hey, Chris.
This is a bad time
to talk to me.
Could I call you up,
give you a call?
I've got to make some calls,
and afterwards I'll call you.
Come on, come on.
Great.
Hey, fellas.
What do you got?
The usual.
Logged five calls today.
One from Gail,
a friend who just had a
fight with her husband
And one from her mother
About a recipe for some sort of shrimp dish.
Oh, a recipe, huh?
Good, good.
At least my wife will
get something out of this.
Is she over there now?
She's been gone a couple of hours.
This recorder took a dump.
You gotta pick up a new one.
Come on, Winston.
Good night, gentlemen.
Good night.
Come on, let's get
the hell out of here.
This is
not funny!
What the...?
Chris, you
son of a bitch!
Winston!
This is not funny!
You are really something,
you know that?
You keep me young.
You like that?
Yeah.
The recorder's totally shot.
So I gotta pick up a new one.
All right.
Leave it to Phil and Jack.
How long will you be gone?
About an hour.
Okay, I'll see you then.
Jesus, they're immature!
Come on.
How much longer, man?
Finished.
This carburetor sucks.
It's as useful
As a diet crouton.
Let's get out of here.
* Think about it
* there must be higher love...
There's no trick to this.
You're just going to call her up
and tell her that you
can't see her anymore.
It's as simple as that.
As simple as that.
Don't let her ruin
your career.
Hello?
Hello.
It's... Bill.
Hi. How are you?
I'm okay.
The reason I called... there are some
things you and I have to get straight.
I have very good taste.
Pardon me?
I've got good taste in food,
I've got good taste in music,
Most of all, I've got
great taste in men.
I'm not quite sure what
we're talking about.
I'm talking about what you did
for my brother Ray and me.
Oh, oh... that.
What do you mean, "oh, that"? It was a very
good thing what you and your police friend did.
My brother's out of jail,
he's got a new job.
My mother wants to marry you.
My brother wants to marry you.
Yeah?
What about you?
Maria?
Yes?
Wait... wait a minute.
Could you hold on
just a second?
Sure.
Thank you.
Don't be such a wuss.
Maria, there are things
about me that you don't know.
There are things about me you don't know either.
Isn't that why people go out?
Yeah, they do.
But there are things about me
That I can't tell you.
Are you in some
kind of trouble?
Kind of.
With the law?
In a way...
Look, your food is burning.
Your food is...
Shit!
God!
How did you know her
food was burning?
How did you know
my food was burning?
Pardon me?
My food was burning.
How did you know?
Are you psychic?
No, no, I'm not psychic, I...
I heard the sizzling behind you.
Oh, you have pretty
good ears, yeah.
Look, Maria...
I just can't see you
for a while.
You... you don't want to see...
Look, this really isn't a
very good time right now.
I have be at work
in half an hour
So could you give
me your number
And I'll call you tomorrow?
My home number?
You do have a phone,
don't you?
Yeah. What do you think?
Of course I've got a phone,
but I'm hardly ever there.
Then I'll call you
at the office.
No, no, no, I'm
hardly ever there.
All right, home is
better. 555-5050.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Everything okay?
Okay.
Hello?
Hi. It's Maria.
Hi... hi.
What's wrong?
Did I wake you?
No, no, no, no.
It's okay.
Where are you?
At home.
You listen to me, fella.
Just because you're having a little bit of trouble,
doesn't mean I'm gonna--
Holy shit!
I can't talk now.
I have to call you back.
Is it the police?
Hello?
Bill?
Bill.
15 minutes early.
Must be some
kind of record.
So. Everything okay?
What's up?
Got a phone call today.
Oh, yeah?
New recipe?
Uh-Uh. A guy named Bill.
Hey, let me see.
I'll take
this downtown...
No-- We will
take this downtown.
Tried to disguise his voice,
but I think it was Montgomery.
Nap time's over, boys.
Better keep your
eyes open tonight.
Good night,
gentlemen.
Those bastards, man.
I smell a rat.
They are up to something.
I don't know what it is yet,
but they are up to something.
I'm going to find out
though.
You know what it is?
Yeah, I have a
pretty good idea.
What, what? Tell me.
Son of a bitch!
Christ, I am going
to kill them!
Oh...
Cover me!
Our man going
into her house.
What?!
Gail's here.
Gail, where are you?
Get your goddamn hands off me,
you son of a bitch!
It's not our guy.
Get out of my house!
I never thought
I'd hit a woman.
Ow! Geez, ouch!
Oh, for crying out loud.
Every time
something happens
She comes over here.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Anybody home?
Gee, I left the door open.
Bill!
Who the fuck are you?
I'm a friend of Maria's.
I came over for dinner.
What's up?
I'm looking for my wife.
Where did you
leave her, pal?
She's here.
He thinks he can
barge right in here.
She ran out.
She's hiding!
Is she here? No.
That's what I've been trying to tell him.
I think maybe
You made a mistake.
Go to hell!
Let's call the cops.
I want him out of my house.
I want you to call...
Why don't I help you
look for her?
Hey, Gail?
Gail?
Ow!
Oh, gee, I'm
real sorry.
Just relax.
Calm down.
There's a chair
right behind you.
When I lift you up,
you'll put your ass right down in it.
You're doing okay.
We're doing just fine.
Now, your knee's
bad, huh?
That's it, just relax.
We'll get you some ice for the knee,
and some aspirin for the head.
Could we have
aspirin, and ice?
Yeah.
We're doing okay.
We're doing fine.
I don't think you should
talk to Gail right now
Because you've been drinking
And you say mean things
When you've been
drinking, right?
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
What's your drink?
Little rye and coke.
Rye and coke?
That used to be my drink.
Give me
your hand.
I used to get diamond splinter headaches
Right between my eyes...
Murderous.
Ever get those things?
No.
No?
I guess it must
have been me.
We're doing okay.
We're doing fine.
How about some coffee?
Yeah, coffee's good.
Yeah, we'll have coffee,
we'll calm down, talk about Gail.
Can we have some
coffee, please?
Sure.
* Where do we begin?...
I'm impressed.
I was just in
the neighbourhood.
I'm beginning to like this
neighbourhood more and more.
I was a little worried
after that phone call.
Yeah, I was kind
of out of it.
But I guess this isn't
the best time, huh?
Uh-Uh.
A date's a date.
Look, Maria, I'm...
I'm really involved...
* there's nothing
to fear, baby *
* now that you're near me.
* I've never seen anything
so clearly. *
Oh, boy.
* This night was made
for one thing only *
* to come as close
as we can come *
* this night was made
for one thing only *
* it's such a change...
someone nice like you. *
Oh, boy.
I'm in over my head here.
Stay with me.
Maria...
You don't want me to
break my phone, do you?
If I do, they'll send
somebody else here.
Oh, Bill.
Fuck Bill.
* ...for one thing only
* to come as close
as we can come. *
* This night was made
for one thing only *
* to come as close
as we can come. *
* Where do we begin?
* You could just hold me.
* Where do we begin?
* You could just hold me.
* Where do we begin?
God!
What happened?
I had a bad dream.
Oh.
Oh.
Scary monsters.
Where did they get you?
Here?
Here.
What time is it?
7:30.
Jesus Christ!
What's wrong?
It's morning.
Are you going to
be late for work?
Uh-Huh.
Could you tell them
you'll be a little late?
Mm-Mm. Mm-Mm.
Listen, you think you
could lend me a hat?
- A hat?
- Yeah, a hat.
I got this bad skin condition and it's very
dangerous for me to go out in the sun.
Like a rash?
Yeah, yeah,
like a rash
But it's worse.
Oh. Is this one of the things you
don't want to tell me about?
No, no, no.
No, it's nothing, really.
It's nothing serious.
I'm not sure
it's your colour.
It's perfectly fine.
- Much better.
- Thank you.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait...
I really got you
thinking now, don't I?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Could I borrow this?
It's yours.
What are you waving at, huh?
Who you waving at?
Jack... this may be him.
Get on that horn, huh?
Oh, right.
Get on that horn.
Lynn... Jack Pismo,
Speck Road stakeout.
We have a man running
from the house.
Caucasian, about five ten.
Jeans, jacket, pink hat,
and he's heading south.
Caucasian, five ten,
jeans, jacket...
Pink hat?
Yeah, and a shawl.
He's heading south.
Excuse me!
My fault, my fault, sorry.
No! No! Back it up!
Asshole.
Get away from me!
Get down.
Get away from me.
Get down!
Whoa--
Whoa!
Come on, come on!
Get in!
Did we practice safe sex?
- Hello?
- Hi. It's Maria.
Hi, hi.
What's wrong?
Did I wake you?
No, no, no.
It's okay.
Where are you?
At home.
Listen to me, fella.
Just because you're having
a little bit of trouble
Doesn't mean I'm going
to let you off the hook...
holy shit!
I can't talk now.
I have to call you back.
Is it the police?
Hello? Bill?
We also have a videotape
Of a man leaving
The speck road house.
We don't know if it's
the man on the phone
Or if he has any relationship
With Montgomery.
We're not taking any chances.
We also found this.
"Bill"?
Man, that's the last
fuckin' straw.
You break it...
Night.
Hey, hey...
I'm serious, man.
It ends right here.
Either you break it off,
or get your ass reassigned
'Cause I am not
going down with you!
I busted my ass to make
detective before 30.
I'm not gonna let you
fuck that up!
You got that, Chris?
Yeah, I got that.
You used to be a
hell of a cop, man.
Get your shit together.
Ah.
Uh-Oh, bacon on the left.
Bacon burgers on the left.
Great.
Damn it!
All right...
Get in the back.
Use the shotgun.
I'm not shooting
at cops!
Get in the back, man.
How far
Are you going to take this?
Yeah!
Watch this.
Oh, yeah!
Aah!
Hang on, i'm going to jam them.
You all right?
No.
Just hang in there.
Oh, fuck.
It's over, man.
It's over!
It's never over till it's over.
Keep your head down!
It's got to stop, man.
Whoa.
Whoa!
Hope this road
goes somewhere.
We're never gonna
get out of this!
What the hell
are you doing?
We're blowing this pop stand.
It's over.
They got Montgomery?
Yeah, a couple
hours ago.
Didn't get many details, but
there was some big shootout.
The car ended up
In the Nasquale river
And no-one came out.
So, we get a pat on the back...
Job well done...
Next case.
You know, you are
one lucky son of a bitch.
What are you going
to do about her?
Oh, man, I...
I think I love her.
I really do.
I'd hate to think
you risked it all
Just because you liked her.
Yeah, yeah.
Now comes the hard part.
Say, how do you feel
about going across the street
And telling her that I'm a cop,
not a phone man
And I've been lying to her
and I've been taking pictures
And looking at her
through telescopes...
Mm-Mm. No.
I didn't think
you'd like that.
I always thought it would
be yo that screwed up.
Well, maybe I'll learn
from your mistakes.
Probably not.
Probably not.
No.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
The force of the water against the car is
making it difficult to pull it from the river.
It is not yet confirmed
but it is believed
That the body of
escaped prisoner
Richard "Stick" Montgomery
is still trapped inside.
The body of his cousin,
Caylor Reese
Was found two miles downriver.
Hi.
Normally, police divers
Would have tried to
pull Montgomery free
But that has not been possible.
Are you all right?
I know.
I know.
Maybe we should talk.
You're wanted
by the law, aren't you?
Is that what you think?
I heard sirens this morning
After you left.
The police follow you here?
I don't think I realised
the size of the hole
that I dug for myself.
How much trouble are you in?
You're not going
to like me very much
when I tell you this.
I never should have
let this happen.
But I did.
I want you to know
Before you
start hating me...
And you will
start hating me...
That I've fallen
in love with you.
Don't, don't.
Don't interrupt a confession.
I don't work
For the phone company.
And my name is not Bill.
It's Chris.
You're a cop?
I'm a detective.
I'm staking out the home
of an ex-Girlfriend
Of an escaped federal prisoner.
You've been watching me?
From where?
Across the street.
And my phones?
Maria!
Listen to me!
From there?
Uh-Oh...
Maria!
What do you got there?
Well...
You guys are great.
I hope I didn't disappoint you.
Maria!
Maria! Damn it.
Maria, listen!
Hold it
a minute.
Listen to me!
I was doing my job,
goddamn it!
Whether you like it or whether I like
it, it doesn't make any difference.
There wasn't any fun in it.
What happened between
you and me was...
Was not part of it.
It was my mistake.
Maria...
I wanted to tell you.
I just couldn't.
Son of a bitch.
You broke my heart
They said you were dead.
Oh...
Jesus Christ.
I made it.
I made it!
What's the matter?
I made it!
Maria, would you just
think about it for a minute?
Listen to me.
Who the fuck is that?
Okay?
I couldn't tell you
that I was...
Don't!
You couldn't tell
her you were what?
You couldn't tell
her you were what?
Who is this guy?
You...
Is this the guy?
Is this the reason?
You want to take a walk in
the other room, pretty please?
Take a fuckin' walk.
Christopher...
Christopher "lee-chee"?
Lecce.
Lee-chee.
So "lee-chee," what are you doing,
bothering my old lady?
We had a fight.
Oh, you had a fight?
That's too bad.
What was it about?
None of your business.
Watch it, pal.
It is all my business.
Now what was it about?
She found out I was
violating my parole, okay?
Are you kidding me?
What kind of candy-ass
crime did you commit, Chris?
Did you steal some old lady's handbag?
What did you do?
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Don't tell me to take it easy.
What did you do?
I rob banks.
You rob banks?
Get me a knife, honey.
What?
Have a seat, Christopher.
Get me a knife.
You do time?
Year and a half.
Where?
Walla Walla.
Give me the knife, honey,
would you please?
I said give me the knife.
You know who I am?
No, man, I don't know who you are.
I don't believe you.
What the hell
is the matter with you?
I just wanted to know
What these things
were stuffed with.
They're made of money!
She's safer than
a bank, Chris.
I had friends
at Walla Walla.
You know Cletus Ink?
Nope.
You don't?
You know Mad Dog Ross?
You g to know Mad Dog.
No, I don't,
but it was a big place.
You don't know Cletus Ink,
you don't know Mad Dog Ross?
Who the hell do you know?
Do you know Eddie Gant?
Yeah, I did know Eddie Gant.
What was he in for?
He killed a cop.
Hello?
Yeah.
Guess who this is?
Yeah, that's right.
Shut up for a second.
I can only say
That the reports
of my demise
Have been greatly
exaggerated.
Wherever we're gonna do this,
we have to do this now.
Uh-Huh.
Yeah.
I'll meet you there
in 20 minutes.
Pack a bag.
We're taking a trip.
What?
What is it?
There's someone out there.
You! Get out
the front door!
Just relax, man.
Get out the front door!
I'm not in this!
Get out.
Get out!
I will be back.
Oh, shit!
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck's going on?
I don't know, man.
Take it easy.
Get him inside.
Throw him on
the couch.
A cop.
I knew it.
What the hell...
Shut up
Pig!
Back off.
How did you know
I was here?
How did you know
I was here?!
You don't want to answer me?
Say good-bye to your mama.
Richard, don't!
He wasn't
Following you.
He was following me.
What?
Yeah.
I violated my parole, remember?
He's been following me
For a week.
You don't do your job very well.
I got a car right outside.
I can drive you
To wherever you want to go.
Cuff his hands behind him.
If he gets loose
You die.
You may think serving time and having
cops on your ass gives me a reason
To trust you, but let me
tell you something, pal.
The last people in the
world I trust are ex-cons.
Let's move.
So what's the deal
with this guy?
I mean, really.
What is the deal with this guy?
I don't even know who he is.
Isn't love great, Chris?
One minute you're a god
The next minute, you're
a scum-sucking pig.
I'm leaving the country, baby.
You're going with me.
You going to Canada?
Are you a travel agent?
Drive, sucker.
Get out.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Hey!
Shut up!
Come here.
I got to talk to this guy
For about five minutes.
Could you take a walk and
come back in five minutes?
What for?
Just take a walk.
You're gonna kill them, aren't you?
I'm not going to
make love to them.
You expect me to go with you
after you do this?
What do you want me
to do, let them go?
Do I look stupid?
If I let them go
I am dead.
How long do you think
It's gonna take for them
To pick me up
if I let them go?
They're going to die, not me.
Why? Why? Because that guy's a cop,
and that guy
has been inside you.
Get out of my way.
No.
Maria...
You're not going to stop me.
Maria, get out of my way.
Get your fucking hands off me.
Maria, get out.
No!
No!
No, richard!
Don't you ever hit me.
You understand?
Come on, man!
We gotta get out of here.
Jesus Christ.
That guy's a cop!
I know he's a cop.
His hands are cuffed.
Not him.
The other one.
Hey, where you going?!
Hey!
Wait for me, you bastard!
No!
Get up there.
You want to shoot?
Huh?
Go ahead, pal.
What's the matter, you chicken?
I hope you believe
in reincarnation...
Sucker!
Get away!
I was supposed to give you
a call, wasn't I?
I forgot.
Is he gonna be okay?
Not if you don't
keep out of the way.
Hey, man.
How you doing?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm just a little tired.
Tired, huh? Listen.
Go home, get plenty of rest
Because when I get better
I'm going to break
both your legs.
You're dust, Lecce.
You hear me?
Not only did you hit me once,
but twice.
This is one of the
worst nights of my life.
Well, I just want to know
if she's gonna be okay.
She's okay.
Okay.
Lusk thinks you got something
going on with that girl.
He wants an investigation.
What are you talking about?
He says you could be in a lot of trouble.
Hell, I told him you're always in trouble.
You saved my life.
You know what that
means, don't you?
No.
What?
You belong to me now.
What is your name, really?
It's Chris.
Chris?
I love you, Chris.
I love you, too.
* I know the message
* my heart is sending...
I'll take you home.
What a boner.
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Is it love, is it...
Is it love? *
* The broken record
* goes round and round
* within a circle
* without a sound
* I'm under water
* in overdrive
* you hide in laughter
* what's on your mind?
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why don't you tell me?
* Is it love, is it...
Is it love? *
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why can't you tell me?
* Is it love,
is it really love? *
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why can't you tell me?
* Is it love, is it...
Is it love? *
* Is it love,

* Hey, girl, I got to know
* is it really, really love?
* Is it love,

* Is it love,

* Why don't you tell me?
* Is it love,

* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
Little late.
Yeah, tell me
about it.
I'm all out of spares.
Should have been
home hours ago.
That's got it.
Thanks.
See you in
a half hour?
Open up!
Give my regards
to broadway.
What did I tell you about
screwing around with my books?
I didn't touch your fag rags,
you understand?
Who's touching them then?
There's only you and me in here!
Piss off!
Don't fuckin' tell me to piss off.
I just did, asshole.
We got a problem
in a cell downstairs.
Hey, Billy!
Give it to him!
Do it!
I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
God!
Will you
take it easy!
All right, put him up here.
Ahhh!
Fuck you.
Don't move.
Doc, keep your shoes
in one place, man.
Fuck you too.
Hey...
Hey!
Stick, we
gotta go!
I want to ask you
a question.
Do you think it's humane
To pump perfectly
sane prisoners
Full of filoxin
and thorazine?
Come on, man, let's
get out of here.
All right, we got
Three minutes.
Let go.
Let go, man!
Get in the box!
Get in the box!
Ow!
Okay, see you
next week.
Right.
Night.
Good night, thanks.
Are we out?
Are we out?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Who's this?
Uh, that's, uh,
Maria McGuire.
She came a couple times
to visit Montgomery.
2221 Speck Road,
Seattle.
Is that address
current?
I hope so.
That's all we got.
May I?
Thank you.
Hey, you want these eggs hot?
You want me freeze them?
Come on, pick them up!
Thank you.
Don't get your hands too close to his mouth.
Anything else?
Yeah, I'd like another
coffee, please.
Okay.
And a side order of sausage!
You bet.
How long has he
been in there?
About ten minutes.
That is disgusting.
Really?
Do you eat like that
in front of your mother?
It's an old
family custom.
It's not healthy.
You gotta take your time.
Do you have any idea what that
does to your digestive system?
No, but I'm afraid
you're gonna tell me.
You've got to savour the qualities of the cuisine.
First the smell...
For Christ's sake...
There he is.
Come on, let's go.
Pay the cheque.
There he is.
He's not here.
You check upstairs;
I'll take the docks.
Oh, no, no...
I picked up the check;
you take the fish.
Oh, shit!
You're under arrest.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!
Bill!
Bill!
Stop! Police!
Bill!
Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Sorry... my fault.
Sorry.
Oh god, oh god.
What do you think
you're doing?
Hey!
Freeze!
Lace your fingers
above your head
And turn around
towards me.
Now you're under arrest.
Get back!
Whoa!
Chris!
God, I hate this part.
* I'm on fire...
* desire...
Took you long enough.
* My one desire
* desire to win...
Free air,
man, free air.
You don't know
what this means.
You have no idea.
Let's move.
Hi, Bernie, I'd
like some prints.
And there's blood
on the blade.
I'd like to have it typed.
Thank you.
What is
that smell?
Chris, oh, oh...
Somebody's been
in a fight, Jack.
What, nobody
in cuffs here?
This means
something...
Wait a minute.
I think
that means
Somebody got
their ass kicked.
Complaints.
I'm Bernie.
Okay.
God, you stink!
Hey, guys?
Captain wants to see you in his office ASAP.
ASAP?
I'd like to take a shower first.
Please.
I wish you would, but
by the sound of his voice
I think he'll see you as is.
Wait a minute,
chuckles.
Captain wants to see you, too.
What did
you do now?
What the hell happened to you?
You look like
you got your ass kicked.
No, no, don't sit there.
Shut the door.
Gentlemen, this is
Agent Thomas Lusk
From the regional
FBI Headquarters.
Detective Bill Reimers...
Hey, Billy.
That's Chris
Lecce over there.
Chris.
Ah, Phil Coldshank.
Pleasure.
And Jack Pismo.
Right on.
He said,
"right on."
The FBI Has
requested help
Over the next
couple of weeks
So your cases have
been reassigned.
Whoa, reassigned?
We are close to
breaking this...
A forklift, wasn't it?
From now on you're working
full time on this.
- Kleenex, please.
- In the drawer there.
Mr. Lusk is in charge
of this operation
So I'll let him
to the talking.
I don't know if you're
familiar with Montgomery
But in case you're not,
two years ago
He killed one
of our agents.
He shoulda had the chair,
but he had a sharp attorney
And the local police
were too zealous
In their pursuit
of evidence.
A plea-bargain
kept him from frying.
Busted out of
Stonehurst?
Killed a guard?
Yeah, he and his cousin
crossed into Wyoming
Ditched their truck
and had a car waiting.
If he's in Wyoming,
why are you here?
We think he'll
head for Mexico
But he has friends here
So we're setting up
a half-dozen stakeouts.
We'll handle the
important ones
But since we're
a little short on help
Your men will
take the others.
Of course.
Who we watching?
He has an
old girlfriend here.
He hasn't seen her
for a year and a half.
Her name is Maria McGuire.
You'll be watching her house.
The second precinct takes the
restaurant where she works.
Here are the keys to the apartment we rented
Across the street
from where she lives.
We have to move
on this one quick.
I know it's
short notice
But this is real bad
people we're after.
Do we get a bug?
Hopefully,
within 24 hours.
Ah, just one
other thing...
if you spot
Montgomery, report it.
Nothing more.
Remember, this is
an FBI operation.
Wait a second.
Excuse me, captain.
There's something a little ripe here.
Let me ask a question.
What you're asking is,
you'd like us to sit on our butts
On some low-priority
shit detail
On the off-chance that we'll
run across some "bad people"
And then what are we supposed to do?
We're supposed
to give you a jingle
So you can make the arrest
and get the keys to the city?
Excuse me, captain,
I'm sorry.
I don't like to
sound negative
But this is bullshit.
I'm a cop.
You understand me?
I'm not a
security guard.
I see some bad people
I'm going to be a little
too busy to make a phone call.
I hope the attitude
Doesn't affect
the performance.
Would you like to see how this attitude...
Are you through
Mr. Lecce?
We'll call.
What an asshole.
Definitely.
Hey, hey!
I don't want to hear
that kind of crap.
I don't want to hear that
someone else heard it, got it?
This is a 24-hour surveillance.
Jack and Phil will
take the day shift
Chris and Bill
the nights.
Same routine
as last time.
Something bothering you
Mr. Coldshank?
No, no.
Don't bullshit me.
What's on your so-called mind?
If it's all the same to you, sir,
I'd just as soon not
Be on a stakeout
with them again.
Hear, hear, sir.
Why?
Why?
Yeah. Why?
Chris and Bill
are slobs, sir.
No, no.
On the last stakeout
we were on with them
They never once cleaned
up after themselves.
Look at them.
Smell him.
Lick my left one,
buddy!
You left cigar butts
all over the place.
Oh, please.
You never changed
the toilet paper.
You are disgusting.
You are filth.
What about his dog?
He let his dog piss
all over the carpet.
That's a goddamn lie.
Come on, come on.
Don't blame the dog.
Phil did all the pissing.
How'd you like me
to piss on you?
Sit down.
Sit down!
I think I broke
my zipper.
That's enough.
This is not an invitation
to a prom, boys.
I don't give a shit if
you don't like the date.
You gentlemen will
watch this broad
Until the fat lady sings
or I say different.
And if you fuck this up
I'll take your nuts
and tie them in a knot
And run them
through my shredder.
- Captain?
- Yeah?
Phil doesn't have
any nuts, sir.
Get out, get out.
- Downwind, please.
All right,
that's hers.
And we're there.
Home sweet home.
I hope the place
has got some heat.
Carol's okay with
all this, isn't she?
Bonnie will kill me
if she finds out
We're gonna be here
for a couple weeks.
* Heigh-Ho, heigh-Ho
* it's off to work we go...
Ugh.
"Lucy!
You got some
explaining to do."
Very attractive.
I think Jason
lives here.
Phew-Wee.
What a nightmare.
Really.
What the hell did we
do to deserve this?
We sent that stripper to
the captain on his birthday.
We should have sent the woman.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I screwed up.
Hello.
Hello, baby.
Hi.
Where are you?
Right now I'm freezing my butt off,
staring through a telescope
At a house on Speck Road.
Didn't anyone ever tell you
that's against the law?
No personal calls.
No personal calls.
Chris and I got a stakeout
on the night shift.
That does it.
I'm crossing the captain
off the Christmas list.
Uh, Chris says hi.
That's nice.
So how long is this one
supposed to take?
Couple weeks.
A couple of weeks?
Jeffrey will be full
grown next time you see him.
Yeah, I hope he remembers me.
I gotta go, okay?
I love you.
I love you, too.
Be good. Bye.
Bye-Bye.
Pizza.
We're in luck.
We got every room covered,
except the bathroom.
Hey, you know, maybe
You should call Bonnie.
She'd only yell.
I'm not in the mood.
Well, I can call her.
You want me to call?
No, no, no, that's okay.
I can call her.
I can take care of
my own love life.
Thank you very much.
Get away, get away.
She's probably in bed
with some other guy.
Poor bastard.
Poor bastard.
So, who we
watching anyway?
Ah, Miss Maria Guadalupe...
Guadalupe?
...McGuire.
Irish-Mexican.
A waitress going to night school,
but not this quarter.
She drives a 1980 Volkswagen.
Lives alone.
Nothing.
Long brown hair,
brown eyes.
Hmm.
5'6
Too tall.
For us, anyway. Too tall.
Oh, and the moment we've
all been waiting for...
313 pounds.
313 pounds?
Let me see that!
That's fully clothed.
Oh, my god!
She could be the house!
This is disgusting!
I hate this job!
"They're dusting off
the hot seat for me."
"On the waterfront."
Who said it?
Lee J Cobb.
The 16th president
of the U.S.?
I don't know.
Here's a hint.
Abe Lincoln.
You're right.
Okay, what movie,
what movie?
"Well, this was not
a boating accident."
I don't know.
You're hopeless.
15th president of
the United States.
I don't know. Fillmore.
Buchanan.
Give me another one.
1980 Volkswagen, right?
Right.
The rock's in the sock.
We got some
movement, buddy.
This is Guadalupe?
Turn around.
I think she's gone on a diet.
Are you going to shoot pictures
Or draw some from memory?
Right, right.
Excuse me.
Pardon me. Pardon me.
Excuse me.
My fault.
There you go.
There you go.
God, she's cute.
It's 2:30.
I better make
some notes.
She's walking
into the kitchen.
Now she's walking
across the room.
Where's she going?
Looks to be
the bedroom.
What's she doing?
Looks like, uh...
Like what?
Like she's undressing.
My God!
Oh, wow.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah...
No, no, no!
No, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no!
Argh! Argh!
Argh! Argh!
To protect and to serve.
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I love my job so much.
Jack, Jack.
Winston, take a break.
Good dog.
You like that?
What, did you
teach him that?
That's good.
Oh, will you
stop that?!
Such a kid sometimes.
Oh, yeah, finally.
She came in at 2:30
in the morning.
She hasn't been up since.
Good-Bye.
Just replace what you steal
All right?
What a dump.
Looks like your
place, huh, Phil?
Funny.
Watch Winston,
will you?
I'm going to
take a break.
All right.
It's started.
Cute.
Very cute!
Amateurs.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah?
So the answer to the quiz
"Why didn't Bonnie
answer the phone?"
Is that she's moved out.
Do you know what time it is?
Yeah. You want to
go back to sleep?
I already tried that.
It's too goddamn light.
Well, then, pull the shades.
I can't.
She took them.
She took the shades?
She paid for them.
Sorry I didn't get the phone.
What do you want me to do,
let you go back to sleep?
Uhm... no, no.
Look, there's nothing you can
do about it right now, anyway.
Hmm...
Did you crack the seal yet?
Nope.
Well, then, put it back.
Okay, dad.
Oh, oh... good news...
We get the phone
bug tonight.
Yippee.
Kiss Carol for me.
Mmm...
Lower... Good-Bye.
How's Chris?
Okay.
And how are you?
I'm tired.
Tired?
Mmm...
Not that tired.
* I was looking
over your shoulder *
* you were next to me...
do you ever think
About what happens
after you die?
After I die?
You know what's
going to happen?
I'm going to be
reincarnated...
...as a judge.
Forget it, bad topic.
So, I want to get paid, right?
Figure she still has your money?
I know she's
still got my money.
How do you know?
You haven't seen her
In a year and a half.
Yes, but she doesn't know
She's got it.
...over to peter's. I'm sure
he'll have some money for bail.
I'm coming up to your house.
No, mom... mom, I'm hanging
up right now, all right?
Good-Bye.
Operator.
Operator, yeah.
Can you give me Seattle,
I mean, area code 206...
Yeah, what?
Don't you ever say "hello"?
You ready?
I'm ready when you are, C.B.
Okay, and let her answer
Before you cut them.
I don't know.
What did you do?
Yeah?
¿Como esta, Maria?
Hello?
Guess who this is.
Hello?
Hello, hello?
Hello?
Hi.
Sorry to disturb you.
I'm from the phone company.
Apparently there's a line
problem in the neighbourhood.
Seriously?
Isn't there something
wrong with your phone?
Yeah, my phone's dead.
I can't believe you're
already here.
Well, we got a lot
of calls, you know.
Whole neighbourhood is down.
Well... you know
It's really not a very
good time for me.
I have to be going.
I understand. I understand.
It would only take
a couple of minutes
But if it would be
a lot easier
We could come back
next week.
Ah... wait a minute.
If I don't have it fixed now
It'll be another couple of weeks?
No... no, no.
Five days, max.
Five days?
Come on, Maria.
How can you resist him?
Okay, if it doesn't take too long,
come on in.
Be out of your way
in just a second.
Bingo.
There we go.
Not bad for an old fart.
There's one
phone over there
And another in the bedroom.
Okeydoke.
I'll be out of your way
as fast as I can.
Hi, sailor.
She's in the bedroom
Tidying up, trying to
make a good impression.
Oops, don't look under the bed.
Okay, okay, now--
She's coming back.
Okay.
All checked out here.
Want to show me
the next one?
Sure.
Hi!
Now a word from our
sponsors...
She's in the kitchen
Just in case
you were wondering.
What's that?
Now is no time to be
pausing for news, Chris.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Chris, she is in the house.
Stop screwing around,
for Christ's sake.
If you blow this
and we get busted...
Goddamn it, Chris,
come on.
Stop messing around.
Chris, she's...
She's right there,
for Christ's sake.
Chris... Chris, she's coming.
Chris, she's coming.
She's coming!
Chris, goddamn it!
Jesus Christ!
I really can't wait any more.
I'm sorry.
Problem?
My brother is in a lot
of trouble right now.
He's down with the police
At the station
And there's bail
I have to take care of.
Something serious?
Yeah, I think it is.
Could you come back
Tomorrow maybe,
or..?
I'm done.
It's fixed?
The problem isn't
in the phone.
It's on the pole.
I have to check outside.
Oh.
Well...
Thanks a lot.
I'm in love, Bill.
I'm leaving you.
It happens to one
out of every six men.
I have to face up
to my heterosexuality.
But don't worry.
You'll be well provided for.
What the hell
were you doing?
What do you mean,
what was I doing?
I was putting in a bug,
for crying out loud.
Oh, really.
Is that what that was?
I don't call going through that woman's
drawers putting in a goddamn bug!
Oh, calm down.
Don't blow a bowel.
For crying out loud.
I thought I saw
something in her bureau
That would tell us whether or
not she talked to Montgomery.
Yeah, she's gone.
Give me the flashlight.
I'm going to go back in
there and check it out.
Come on.
No, no,
no, no, no.
No?
No.
Chris, this is the feds' party.
I am not gonna
get my ass canned
For illegal procedure.
"This is the feds' party.
I'm not gonna get my ass
canned for illegal procedure"?
Give me the
goddamn flashlight.
Nothing's gonna
happen to you.
The worst thing they could do to you
is suspend you for, what, three years.
Well, that's great.
I'm kidding!
Jesus. The man never knows
when I'm kidding.
I'm only making a little joke,
a little humour.
What a boner.
You there?
You in?
I'm in.
Then hurry up.
Car.
I'm sorry, sorry.
Are you kidding me?
You're sorry?
You're making me very nervous.
I'm making you nervous?
That's a hoot.
Okay, I think I got
something real important here.
A bunch of letters here,
all from Montgomery
And the last one's dated
about four months ago.
"Dear Maria...
"First you stop
coming to visit me
"And now you won't
even answer my letters.
"I understand you're lonely.
"I hear you're seeing
a couple of guys.
"Sometimes I get so mad that I
could wipe out a whole planet
And enjoy myself doing it."
How could she have dumped
a charmer like him?
All right, take this down.
I think we got
something to check out.
He apparently has a buddy
with the initials "B.C."
Right here in Seattle.
Seems to work on the docks.
Now he's talking
about some furniture.
He bought it for a present...
Does she still have it?
Apparently got it
for her birthday.
It's very important to him.
Holy shit!
What?
Get out of the house.
Get out
of the fuckin' house.
She's right there.
She's at the stairs.
Are you fucking
with me?
No, I'm not
fucking with you!
Get out of the house!
Come on, Chris.
Are you, crazy?
* At night
* when you turn off
all the lights *
* there's no place
that you can hide *
* no, no
* the rhythm is gonna get you
* the rhythm is gonna get you
What's going on in there?
Where the hell are you?
* The rhythm is gonna get you
* tonight.
* The rhythm is gonna get you
* tonight.
Ahhh...
Jesus!
Sergeant Bernie?
Yeah, this is Chris Lecce.
I'm fine, fine.
How are you?
Great.
I want you to run a make on
a guy named Reynaldo McGuire.
Yeah, find out any priors,
anything at all.
Thanks.
Oh, I'm just
enjoying my day off.
Bye.
Oh, come on.
There is no way, Chris!
There is no
way one bullet
Could have done
all that damage.
"No way"?
What does "no way" mean?
One bullet came from
the Grassy Knoll
The other from the Texas
school book depository.
How naive can you be?
You think the Chief Justice
of the United States lied?
Is that right?
That Gerald Ford lied?
Those bastards.
What?
They ate everything and left
us a goddamn dog turd!
Earl Warren left us
a dog turd?
No, Phil and Jack.
Why do you care
about that stuff?
You were five years old when it happened.
I don't know how yet,
but I'm going to get those guys, man.
Give me the keys to the car.
I'll go to the supermarket.
What do you want?
How about
some truth and justice?
What else?
Doughnuts.
Why not? We're cops.
Hi.
Hi.
The phone man, right?
Right, right.
How's your phone?
It still works.
Do you live
in the neighborhood?
No, no. I was in
the area working.
More lines down?
Always.
Are you satisfied
with the phone system?
You don't need anything
else installed?
Any trimline, or videophone,
or anything at all?
You a a phone man,
aren't you?
Why do you say that?
You're still working
on another line.
Get it?
Got it.
Good.
$16.13.
Hope your phone
breaks real soon.
You promise to fix it
If it does?
I promise.
Bye.
Eating in between meals?
"Eating in between meals?"
Wait a minute.
Don't go.
Oh, shit.
You wouldn't be headed
In my direction,
would you?
I'm sorry. I don't
know your name.
Oh... uh... eh... Bill.
Bill?
Bill.
I'm Maria.
Hi.
Can I make you a trade?
A cup of coffee
for a ride home?
My bike has
this stupid flat
And it's getting
ready to rain.
Well, uh...
Please?
Yeah, what the hell.
Good. Thank you.
We'll put it in the trunk.
Oh, I don't believe this!
Yeah?
Hi.
I'm going to be a little late.
No, no, take your time.
I'm having a cup of coffee.
Have two cups.
Nothing going on here...
just dull old police work.
Hey, great.
Tell me, how's that
forklift coming?
Heh-Heh-Heh...
I'll be about a half hour.
Where are my doughnuts,
you prick?
Maybe more.
You really are a nice guy,
aren't you?
Don't say that.
Why?
You are.
You gave me a ride home.
You're unpacking
my groceries.
You fixed
my phone.
You're nice.
I know, I know,
I'm nice, I'm nice.
I hate that.
It's a curse.
What?
It's like "medium."
I always wanted to be... bad.
Oh, these go in the sack.
Think bad is good?
Well, yeah.
I always wanted
a little bad.
I thought it would
make my "nice"
Better.
Let me tell you something...
Bad isn't all it's
cracked up to be.
Bad is bad
And I think right now I'd
settle for a little nice.
I think.
What are we
talking about?
Dinner.
Do you like
Mexican food?
I made this mean
camarones veracruzanos.
You like spicy?
I love spicy.
Good. Then you're gonna want
to marry me after this.
Ah, Chris... for crying out loud.
Oh, yeah.
Aw, this is ridiculous.
I'm going to kill him.
I was born on the
day of the dead.
It's a big deal
in Latino culture.
They do it to
make fun of death
And take it seriously
at the same time.
So every year, as long as I can remember,
someone in my family
Has always given me some
kind of skeleton
On my birthday.
And now I've got
this full graveyard.
Got a big family?
My younger brother lives
at home with my mom,
except this week
And I've got a ton of relatives
In Veracruz.
About your brother...
I... I happen
to know
A couple of cops.
I could ask around
Find out what's going on.
You think they'd tell you?
Yeah, if they want
their phones to work.
Oh, that would be nice.
Oh,
I'm sorry...
There's that
word again.
I kind of like your smile.
Well, I must be kind of drunk.
Maria, let me ask you something.
What, Mr. Bill?
How come you know so
much about what's bad?
Well...
There was this man once
And he was violent
And crazy, and dangerous
And I...
I was insane.
I was insane
Because I was with
him for a while.
It's all over now.
Did you love him?
I was crazy
I think.
Where is he now?
Why do you ask?
Why do you think?
I think I have to go.
Yeah, me, too.
I've got the late shift.
No, no, no, leave them.
I'll do them in
a couple of years.
Want to know what the best
thing you said tonight was?
What?
That you liked my smile.
Oh...
I know, I know...
I'm nice.
I know.
I'm not that nice.
Honey,
I'm home.
I bumped into her
at the goddamn store.
What was I supposed to do?
Pretend I'd never seen her before?
Huh?
Anyway, we're supposed to be watching the house.
So I was watching
the house...
From the inside.
Nothing.
Here are your doughnuts.
I didn't eat one of them,
and there was a glaze on it and everything.
I got you some Pringles and some Oreos.
You going to get together
with her again?
Maybe go to..?
Give me a break...
She made me dinner.
That was it.
Nothing more?
Nothing more.
Okay, mister liar.
Sergeant Bernie called.
Says that Reynaldo
McGuire was arrested
On the 17th
for a "G.T.A."
Wouldn't just happen
to be any relation,
would it?
Give me a break.
She told me her brother was in jail.
I checked it out.
I thought it was a lead.
A lead?
Yeah, a lead.
Fine. You tell me you're
checking out a lead.
I'm gonna believe
you're...
Checking out a lead.
I realise this is
a shit detail.
Oh, boy!
I mean, can we talk?
Nobody's gonna care what we do here.
Bottom of the barrel.
But I would appreciate
That you not act like
a walking hard-On
While we're working together.
Excuse me.
Succinctly put.
All the money in the cash register,
right now.
Okay, okay, take it easy.
Reach up and get me
A hunting knife,
would you please?
Sorry, we're closed.
72...
What've we got?
$273.
All right. That's plenty.
That's all we need.
All we need
is gas money.
It's hardly worth
rubbing people out for.
What?
Nothing.
What did I do now?
Reynaldo, isn't it?
Ray.
I heard you got yourself
into a little trouble.
You a cop?
You a criminal?
No.
This girl's father's
got it in for me.
He does?
Why?
Doesn't want me seeing his daughter.
She's pretty
precious, huh?
Yeah.
Why did you hot-wire the car?
We thought it would be okay.
I was stupid.
It's not very pleasant
being in here, is it?
Why do you care?
I just want to find out
What kind of a guy you are
Before I get you out.
Get me out.
I can't take another
night in this place.
You like to work
with your hands?
I've got a job here.
Construction.
Starts monday morning,
7:30 to 5:00
Five days a week.
Got to be home
every night.
That's the deal.
Every night.
Take it and you're out of here.
Mess with me
and you're back in.
What do you say?
Deal.
Okay.
What rock did they
find you under?
Anything I can do to make your
stay here more pleasant, buddy,
You just let me know.
Great.
Lecce... I want to talk to you.
Ohh...
You should be sleeping.
What are you doing?
I heard you wanted to talk to me.
A couple of cops
sitting on a stakeout
Just got caught
on a procedure.
Seems they got overanxious,
blew their cover.
I don't want this to happen here.
You pass it on...
No funny stuff.
No funny stuff.
Okay, you got it. Okay.
You got it.
Right.
Excuse me...
Bill... how are you?
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
What are you doing here?
I just had a...
uh, uh, uh...
No, no, no.
What are you doing here?
I heard you were
supposed to be at work.
They let me off early so I could see my brother.
They only have
certain hours here.
Hey, fishman.
One day we
dance again, okay?
Are you in some kind of trouble?
No, no.
He's just
a funny friend.
Hey, Chris.
This is a bad time
to talk to me.
Could I call you up,
give you a call?
I've got to make some calls,
and afterwards I'll call you.
Come on, come on.
Great.
Hey, fellas.
What do you got?
The usual.
Logged five calls today.
One from Gail,
a friend who just had a
fight with her husband
And one from her mother
About a recipe for some sort of shrimp dish.
Oh, a recipe, huh?
Good, good.
At least my wife will
get something out of this.
Is she over there now?
She's been gone a couple of hours.
This recorder took a dump.
You gotta pick up a new one.
Come on, Winston.
Good night, gentlemen.
Good night.
Come on, let's get
the hell out of here.
This is
not funny!
What the...?
Chris, you
son of a bitch!
Winston!
This is not funny!
You are really something,
you know that?
You keep me young.
You like that?
Yeah.
The recorder's totally shot.
So I gotta pick up a new one.
All right.
Leave it to Phil and Jack.
How long will you be gone?
About an hour.
Okay, I'll see you then.
Jesus, they're immature!
Come on.
How much longer, man?
Finished.
This carburetor sucks.
It's as useful
As a diet crouton.
Let's get out of here.
* Think about it
* there must be higher love...
There's no trick to this.
You're just going to call her up
and tell her that you
can't see her anymore.
It's as simple as that.
As simple as that.
Don't let her ruin
your career.
Hello?
Hello.
It's... Bill.
Hi. How are you?
I'm okay.
The reason I called... there are some
things you and I have to get straight.
I have very good taste.
Pardon me?
I've got good taste in food,
I've got good taste in music,
Most of all, I've got
great taste in men.
I'm not quite sure what
we're talking about.
I'm talking about what you did
for my brother Ray and me.
Oh, oh... that.
What do you mean, "oh, that"? It was a very
good thing what you and your police friend did.
My brother's out of jail,
he's got a new job.
My mother wants to marry you.
My brother wants to marry you.
Yeah?
What about you?
Maria?
Yes?
Wait... wait a minute.
Could you hold on
just a second?
Sure.
Thank you.
Don't be such a wuss.
Maria, there are things
about me that you don't know.
There are things about me you don't know either.
Isn't that why people go out?
Yeah, they do.
But there are things about me
That I can't tell you.
Are you in some
kind of trouble?
Kind of.
With the law?
In a way...
Look, your food is burning.
Your food is...
Shit!
God!
How did you know her
food was burning?
How did you know
my food was burning?
Pardon me?
My food was burning.
How did you know?
Are you psychic?
No, no, I'm not psychic, I...
I heard the sizzling behind you.
Oh, you have pretty
good ears, yeah.
Look, Maria...
I just can't see you
for a while.
You... you don't want to see...
Look, this really isn't a
very good time right now.
I have be at work
in half an hour
So could you give
me your number
And I'll call you tomorrow?
My home number?
You do have a phone,
don't you?
Yeah. What do you think?
Of course I've got a phone,
but I'm hardly ever there.
Then I'll call you
at the office.
No, no, no, I'm
hardly ever there.
All right, home is
better. 555-5050.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Everything okay?
Okay.
Hello?
Hi. It's Maria.
Hi... hi.
What's wrong?
Did I wake you?
No, no, no, no.
It's okay.
Where are you?
At home.
You listen to me, fella.
Just because you're having a little bit of trouble,
doesn't mean I'm gonna--
Holy shit!
I can't talk now.
I have to call you back.
Is it the police?
Hello?
Bill?
Bill.
15 minutes early.
Must be some
kind of record.
So. Everything okay?
What's up?
Got a phone call today.
Oh, yeah?
New recipe?
Uh-Uh. A guy named Bill.
Hey, let me see.
I'll take
this downtown...
No-- We will
take this downtown.
Tried to disguise his voice,
but I think it was Montgomery.
Nap time's over, boys.
Better keep your
eyes open tonight.
Good night,
gentlemen.
Those bastards, man.
I smell a rat.
They are up to something.
I don't know what it is yet,
but they are up to something.
I'm going to find out
though.
You know what it is?
Yeah, I have a
pretty good idea.
What, what? Tell me.
Son of a bitch!
Christ, I am going
to kill them!
Oh...
Cover me!
Our man going
into her house.
What?!
Gail's here.
Gail, where are you?
Get your goddamn hands off me,
you son of a bitch!
It's not our guy.
Get out of my house!
I never thought
I'd hit a woman.
Ow! Geez, ouch!
Oh, for crying out loud.
Every time
something happens
She comes over here.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Anybody home?
Gee, I left the door open.
Bill!
Who the fuck are you?
I'm a friend of Maria's.
I came over for dinner.
What's up?
I'm looking for my wife.
Where did you
leave her, pal?
She's here.
He thinks he can
barge right in here.
She ran out.
She's hiding!
Is she here? No.
That's what I've been trying to tell him.
I think maybe
You made a mistake.
Go to hell!
Let's call the cops.
I want him out of my house.
I want you to call...
Why don't I help you
look for her?
Hey, Gail?
Gail?
Ow!
Oh, gee, I'm
real sorry.
Just relax.
Calm down.
There's a chair
right behind you.
When I lift you up,
you'll put your ass right down in it.
You're doing okay.
We're doing just fine.
Now, your knee's
bad, huh?
That's it, just relax.
We'll get you some ice for the knee,
and some aspirin for the head.
Could we have
aspirin, and ice?
Yeah.
We're doing okay.
We're doing fine.
I don't think you should
talk to Gail right now
Because you've been drinking
And you say mean things
When you've been
drinking, right?
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
What's your drink?
Little rye and coke.
Rye and coke?
That used to be my drink.
Give me
your hand.
I used to get diamond splinter headaches
Right between my eyes...
Murderous.
Ever get those things?
No.
No?
I guess it must
have been me.
We're doing okay.
We're doing fine.
How about some coffee?
Yeah, coffee's good.
Yeah, we'll have coffee,
we'll calm down, talk about Gail.
Can we have some
coffee, please?
Sure.
* Where do we begin?...
I'm impressed.
I was just in
the neighbourhood.
I'm beginning to like this
neighbourhood more and more.
I was a little worried
after that phone call.
Yeah, I was kind
of out of it.
But I guess this isn't
the best time, huh?
Uh-Uh.
A date's a date.
Look, Maria, I'm...
I'm really involved...
* there's nothing
to fear, baby *
* now that you're near me.
* I've never seen anything
so clearly. *
Oh, boy.
* This night was made
for one thing only *
* to come as close
as we can come *
* this night was made
for one thing only *
* it's such a change...
someone nice like you. *
Oh, boy.
I'm in over my head here.
Stay with me.
Maria...
You don't want me to
break my phone, do you?
If I do, they'll send
somebody else here.
Oh, Bill.
Fuck Bill.
* ...for one thing only
* to come as close
as we can come. *
* This night was made
for one thing only *
* to come as close
as we can come. *
* Where do we begin?
* You could just hold me.
* Where do we begin?
* You could just hold me.
* Where do we begin?
God!
What happened?
I had a bad dream.
Oh.
Oh.
Scary monsters.
Where did they get you?
Here?
Here.
What time is it?
7:30.
Jesus Christ!
What's wrong?
It's morning.
Are you going to
be late for work?
Uh-Huh.
Could you tell them
you'll be a little late?
Mm-Mm. Mm-Mm.
Listen, you think you
could lend me a hat?
- A hat?
- Yeah, a hat.
I got this bad skin condition and it's very
dangerous for me to go out in the sun.
Like a rash?
Yeah, yeah,
like a rash
But it's worse.
Oh. Is this one of the things you
don't want to tell me about?
No, no, no.
No, it's nothing, really.
It's nothing serious.
I'm not sure
it's your colour.
It's perfectly fine.
- Much better.
- Thank you.
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait...
I really got you
thinking now, don't I?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Could I borrow this?
It's yours.
What are you waving at, huh?
Who you waving at?
Jack... this may be him.
Get on that horn, huh?
Oh, right.
Get on that horn.
Lynn... Jack Pismo,
Speck Road stakeout.
We have a man running
from the house.
Caucasian, about five ten.
Jeans, jacket, pink hat,
and he's heading south.
Caucasian, five ten,
jeans, jacket...
Pink hat?
Yeah, and a shawl.
He's heading south.
Excuse me!
My fault, my fault, sorry.
No! No! Back it up!
Asshole.
Get away from me!
Get down.
Get away from me.
Get down!
Whoa--
Whoa!
Come on, come on!
Get in!
Did we practice safe sex?
- Hello?
- Hi. It's Maria.
Hi, hi.
What's wrong?
Did I wake you?
No, no, no.
It's okay.
Where are you?
At home.
Listen to me, fella.
Just because you're having
a little bit of trouble
Doesn't mean I'm going
to let you off the hook...
holy shit!
I can't talk now.
I have to call you back.
Is it the police?
Hello? Bill?
We also have a videotape
Of a man leaving
The speck road house.
We don't know if it's
the man on the phone
Or if he has any relationship
With Montgomery.
We're not taking any chances.
We also found this.
"Bill"?
Man, that's the last
fuckin' straw.
You break it...
Night.
Hey, hey...
I'm serious, man.
It ends right here.
Either you break it off,
or get your ass reassigned
'Cause I am not
going down with you!
I busted my ass to make
detective before 30.
I'm not gonna let you
fuck that up!
You got that, Chris?
Yeah, I got that.
You used to be a
hell of a cop, man.
Get your shit together.
Ah.
Uh-Oh, bacon on the left.
Bacon burgers on the left.
Great.
Damn it!
All right...
Get in the back.
Use the shotgun.
I'm not shooting
at cops!
Get in the back, man.
How far
Are you going to take this?
Yeah!
Watch this.
Oh, yeah!
Aah!
Hang on, i'm going to jam them.
You all right?
No.
Just hang in there.
Oh, fuck.
It's over, man.
It's over!
It's never over till it's over.
Keep your head down!
It's got to stop, man.
Whoa.
Whoa!
Hope this road
goes somewhere.
We're never gonna
get out of this!
What the hell
are you doing?
We're blowing this pop stand.
It's over.
They got Montgomery?
Yeah, a couple
hours ago.
Didn't get many details, but
there was some big shootout.
The car ended up
In the Nasquale river
And no-one came out.
So, we get a pat on the back...
Job well done...
Next case.
You know, you are
one lucky son of a bitch.
What are you going
to do about her?
Oh, man, I...
I think I love her.
I really do.
I'd hate to think
you risked it all
Just because you liked her.
Yeah, yeah.
Now comes the hard part.
Say, how do you feel
about going across the street
And telling her that I'm a cop,
not a phone man
And I've been lying to her
and I've been taking pictures
And looking at her
through telescopes...
Mm-Mm. No.
I didn't think
you'd like that.
I always thought it would
be yo that screwed up.
Well, maybe I'll learn
from your mistakes.
Probably not.
Probably not.
No.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
The force of the water against the car is
making it difficult to pull it from the river.
It is not yet confirmed
but it is believed
That the body of
escaped prisoner
Richard "Stick" Montgomery
is still trapped inside.
The body of his cousin,
Caylor Reese
Was found two miles downriver.
Hi.
Normally, police divers
Would have tried to
pull Montgomery free
But that has not been possible.
Are you all right?
I know.
I know.
Maybe we should talk.
You're wanted
by the law, aren't you?
Is that what you think?
I heard sirens this morning
After you left.
The police follow you here?
I don't think I realised
the size of the hole
that I dug for myself.
How much trouble are you in?
You're not going
to like me very much
when I tell you this.
I never should have
let this happen.
But I did.
I want you to know
Before you
start hating me...
And you will
start hating me...
That I've fallen
in love with you.
Don't, don't.
Don't interrupt a confession.
I don't work
For the phone company.
And my name is not Bill.
It's Chris.
You're a cop?
I'm a detective.
I'm staking out the home
of an ex-Girlfriend
Of an escaped federal prisoner.
You've been watching me?
From where?
Across the street.
And my phones?
Maria!
Listen to me!
From there?
Uh-Oh...
Maria!
What do you got there?
Well...
You guys are great.
I hope I didn't disappoint you.
Maria!
Maria! Damn it.
Maria, listen!
Hold it
a minute.
Listen to me!
I was doing my job,
goddamn it!
Whether you like it or whether I like
it, it doesn't make any difference.
There wasn't any fun in it.
What happened between
you and me was...
Was not part of it.
It was my mistake.
Maria...
I wanted to tell you.
I just couldn't.
Son of a bitch.
You broke my heart
They said you were dead.
Oh...
Jesus Christ.
I made it.
I made it!
What's the matter?
I made it!
Maria, would you just
think about it for a minute?
Listen to me.
Who the fuck is that?
Okay?
I couldn't tell you
that I was...
Don't!
You couldn't tell
her you were what?
You couldn't tell
her you were what?
Who is this guy?
You...
Is this the guy?
Is this the reason?
You want to take a walk in
the other room, pretty please?
Take a fuckin' walk.
Christopher...
Christopher "lee-chee"?
Lecce.
Lee-chee.
So "lee-chee," what are you doing,
bothering my old lady?
We had a fight.
Oh, you had a fight?
That's too bad.
What was it about?
None of your business.
Watch it, pal.
It is all my business.
Now what was it about?
She found out I was
violating my parole, okay?
Are you kidding me?
What kind of candy-ass
crime did you commit, Chris?
Did you steal some old lady's handbag?
What did you do?
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Don't tell me to take it easy.
What did you do?
I rob banks.
You rob banks?
Get me a knife, honey.
What?
Have a seat, Christopher.
Get me a knife.
You do time?
Year and a half.
Where?
Walla Walla.
Give me the knife, honey,
would you please?
I said give me the knife.
You know who I am?
No, man, I don't know who you are.
I don't believe you.
What the hell
is the matter with you?
I just wanted to know
What these things
were stuffed with.
They're made of money!
She's safer than
a bank, Chris.
I had friends
at Walla Walla.
You know Cletus Ink?
Nope.
You don't?
You know Mad Dog Ross?
You g to know Mad Dog.
No, I don't,
but it was a big place.
You don't know Cletus Ink,
you don't know Mad Dog Ross?
Who the hell do you know?
Do you know Eddie Gant?
Yeah, I did know Eddie Gant.
What was he in for?
He killed a cop.
Hello?
Yeah.
Guess who this is?
Yeah, that's right.
Shut up for a second.
I can only say
That the reports
of my demise
Have been greatly
exaggerated.
Wherever we're gonna do this,
we have to do this now.
Uh-Huh.
Yeah.
I'll meet you there
in 20 minutes.
Pack a bag.
We're taking a trip.
What?
What is it?
There's someone out there.
You! Get out
the front door!
Just relax, man.
Get out the front door!
I'm not in this!
Get out.
Get out!
I will be back.
Oh, shit!
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck's going on?
I don't know, man.
Take it easy.
Get him inside.
Throw him on
the couch.
A cop.
I knew it.
What the hell...
Shut up
Pig!
Back off.
How did you know
I was here?
How did you know
I was here?!
You don't want to answer me?
Say good-bye to your mama.
Richard, don't!
He wasn't
Following you.
He was following me.
What?
Yeah.
I violated my parole, remember?
He's been following me
For a week.
You don't do your job very well.
I got a car right outside.
I can drive you
To wherever you want to go.
Cuff his hands behind him.
If he gets loose
You die.
You may think serving time and having
cops on your ass gives me a reason
To trust you, but let me
tell you something, pal.
The last people in the
world I trust are ex-cons.
Let's move.
So what's the deal
with this guy?
I mean, really.
What is the deal with this guy?
I don't even know who he is.
Isn't love great, Chris?
One minute you're a god
The next minute, you're
a scum-sucking pig.
I'm leaving the country, baby.
You're going with me.
You going to Canada?
Are you a travel agent?
Drive, sucker.
Get out.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Hey!
Shut up!
Come here.
I got to talk to this guy
For about five minutes.
Could you take a walk and
come back in five minutes?
What for?
Just take a walk.
You're gonna kill them, aren't you?
I'm not going to
make love to them.
You expect me to go with you
after you do this?
What do you want me
to do, let them go?
Do I look stupid?
If I let them go
I am dead.
How long do you think
It's gonna take for them
To pick me up
if I let them go?
They're going to die, not me.
Why? Why? Because that guy's a cop,
and that guy
has been inside you.
Get out of my way.
No.
Maria...
You're not going to stop me.
Maria, get out of my way.
Get your fucking hands off me.
Maria, get out.
No!
No!
No, richard!
Don't you ever hit me.
You understand?
Come on, man!
We gotta get out of here.
Jesus Christ.
That guy's a cop!
I know he's a cop.
His hands are cuffed.
Not him.
The other one.
Hey, where you going?!
Hey!
Wait for me, you bastard!
No!
Get up there.
You want to shoot?
Huh?
Go ahead, pal.
What's the matter, you chicken?
I hope you believe
in reincarnation...
Sucker!
Get away!
I was supposed to give you
a call, wasn't I?
I forgot.
Is he gonna be okay?
Not if you don't
keep out of the way.
Hey, man.
How you doing?
Yeah, I'm okay.
I'm just a little tired.
Tired, huh? Listen.
Go home, get plenty of rest
Because when I get better
I'm going to break
both your legs.
You're dust, Lecce.
You hear me?
Not only did you hit me once,
but twice.
This is one of the
worst nights of my life.
Well, I just want to know
if she's gonna be okay.
She's okay.
Okay.
Lusk thinks you got something
going on with that girl.
He wants an investigation.
What are you talking about?
He says you could be in a lot of trouble.
Hell, I told him you're always in trouble.
You saved my life.
You know what that
means, don't you?
No.
What?
You belong to me now.
What is your name, really?
It's Chris.
Chris?
I love you, Chris.
I love you, too.
* I know the message
* my heart is sending...
I'll take you home.
What a boner.
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Is it love, is it...
Is it love? *
* The broken record
* goes round and round
* within a circle
* without a sound
* I'm under water
* in overdrive
* you hide in laughter
* what's on your mind?
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why don't you tell me?
* Is it love, is it...
Is it love? *
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why can't you tell me?
* Is it love,
is it really love? *
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why can't you tell me?
* Is it love, is it...
Is it love? *
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Hey, girl, I got to know
* is it really, really love?
* Is it love,
is it really love? *
* Is it love,
is it love you're after? *
* Why don't you tell me?
* Is it love,
is it really love? *
