( typewriter keys

clicking slowly )

( typewriter dings )

SHIT, MAN.

YOU SCARED THE HELL

OUT OF ME.

TAKE IT.

I HAVEN'T GOT TIME

TO PLAY WITH YOU, PHIL.

YOU SEE ALL THAT WORK

I GOT?

YOU'RE BACK ON.

WHAT?

IT WASN'T EASY.

JENNINGS FOUGHT ME

EVERY INCH OF THE WAY,

BUT YOU'RE BACK ON.

MAYBE HE'S RIGHT, MAN.

NO, HE'S NOT.

NEVER WAS,

NOT ABOUT ANY OF THAT SHIT

THEY TALK ABOUT YOU.

I'M COOL.

I LIKE IT DOWN HERE.

( laughs )

RIGHT.

WE NEED YOU, PARTNER.

YOU KNOW THE O.C. PLAYERS

BETTER THAN ANYBODY.

YOU'RE BACK ON, JACK.

( distant siren wailing )

I OWE YOU, MAN.

YOU DON'T OWE ME

ANYTHING.

( siren wailing )

( crash )

TONY.

- YEAH?

DID I EVER TELL YOU

ABOUT THE TIME I WAS

IN BOARDING SCHOOL?

NAH, YOU DIDN'T.

IT WAS DURING NAP TIME.

OH, BABY.

IT WAS SO HOT,

I'VE DOZED OFF.

OH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW

HOW I DOZED OFF?

HOW?

I WAS NAKED

UNDER THE SHEETS.

OH, YEAH?

THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, THEN

MY LITTLE HAND

DROPPED DOWN

AND IT ACCIDENTALLY

BURST MY SCHOOL RING

- BETWEEN MY THIGHS.

- OH, YEAH.

AND THEN YOU KNOW

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tony:

What happened?

Woman:

I was in the perfect

place

between sleeping

and dreaming.

I slowly felt

your hands

stroking me,

caressing me gently...

Then...

ARE YOU MAINTAINING

TONIGHT, PARTNER?

HMM?

OH, YEAH, I'M FINE, MAN.

I'M FINE.

JUST TURN IT UP

A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT, ARE YOU

A PERVERT?

THIS IS LIKE SOME BAD

PENTHOUSE LETTER.

IT'S PERFECT IF YOUR

BOYFRIEND'S A CHEESEBALL

LIKE TONY D.

HEY.

( honks horn )

( muffled gunshot )

WHAT WAS THAT?

SHIT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

CALL FOR BACKUP.

( Tony and woman moaning )

( woman screams )

( rapid gunfire )

MAKE IT FAST.

( tires screech )

POLICE!

- ANYONE ELSE IN HERE?

- HUH-UH.

- NO?

- NO.

TONY FUCKING D.

SIX MONTHS

DOWN THE DRAIN.

COME HERE.

SIT DOWN.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

- I THINK SO.

- GOOD.

FACES-- WHAT DID THEY

LOOK LIKE?

FACES, YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE NOT GOING MUTE

ON ME, ARE YOU?

LOOK, IT WAS A PERFECT DATE.

I THINK I'LL ORDER PIZZA.

YOU MUST BE THE SENTIMENTAL

TYPE, HUH, ALMA?

SO YOU KNOW MY NAME.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

NOT A FUCKING CLUE,

BUT I KNOW TONY OVER THERE--

HE PAYS FOR THIS PLACE,

DON'T HE?

SO YOU'VE BEEN

WATCHING ME.

THAT'S CREEPY.

YOU PUT ON

SUCH A NICE SHOW.

HE PAID FOR YOU TOO?

HOURLY OR WEEKLY?

HEY, JACK, EASE UP.

HEY, PHIL.

MEET ALMA.

BE VERY GENTLE WITH HER.

SHE'S QUITE UPSET.

Jack:

HOW DOES THIS GET TO BE

MY FUCK-UP?

YOU WERE

SITTING ON YOUR ASS

20' AWAY, JACK.

WE WERE THERE

TO MONITOR ONLY.

IT'S NOT OUR FAULT

IF TONY DOESN'T TAKE

POLICE PROTECTION.

I DON'T CARE.

BOTTOM LINE IS,

WE GUARANTEED TONY WOULD

TURN STATE'S EVIDENCE

AND SOME HITTER

TAKES HIM OUT RIGHT

UNDER YOUR NOSE.

AND NOW THE MAYOR,

THE D.A.

AND THE FUCKING F.B.I.

ESPECIALLY

ARE ALL OVER MY BACK.

ARE YOU READY, PHIL?

- ALL SET.

- F.B.I.?

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS

DOG-AND-PONY SHOW FOR--

BILL KEENAN?

THAT'S RIGHT.

- WHY?

WHY?

BECAUSE HE WANTS IT.

BUT THAT'S BULLSHIT, MAN.

I HAVE BRIEFED THIS GUY

AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES MYSELF.

LISTEN, THE MAYOR'S

ASKED THE F.B.I. TO RUN

THIS TASK FORCE.

KEENAN HAS THE AXE

OVER YOU AND OVER ME.

IT'S TIME TO PUCKER UP,

JACK.

SORRY WE'RE LATE.

DOES EVERYBODY KNOW EVERYBODY?

SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE

BILL KEENAN.

AND, BILL, THIS IS HEAD OF

THE ORGANIZED CRIME SQUAD

FRANK JENNINGS

DETECTIVE PHIL KELLY

AND DETECTIVE JACK VALENTINE.

'MORNING, COUNSELOR.

Phil:

THE NUMBER-TWO MAN

IN THE MASSINO FAMILY,

A.K.A. TONY D,

SICILIAN, A REAL

OLD-SCHOOL KNEE-BREAKER.

WHOEVER TOOK TONY OUT

HAD TO BE AN INSIDER.

NO ONE KNEW

ABOUT THE GIRL.

RIGHT NOW

THE BIG QUESTION IS

WHO ON THE INSIDE

SENT THOSE HITTERS

TO WHACK OUT TONY D.

IS THAT THE GIRL?

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

IS SHE COOPERATING?

SO FAR JUST NAME, RANK

AND SERIAL NUMBER.

STANDARD ARM PIECE, I'D SAY,

DOES SOME MODELING AROUND TOWN.

YEAH, WELL, WITH ALL DUE

RESPECT, KEENAN,

- I THINK SHE'S A LITTLE

MORE THAN THAT.

- YEAH? HOW?

WELL, IN THAT SITUATION

STANDARD ARM PIECE GOES

CATATONIC.

THIS CHICK-- SHE--

SHE HARDLY BLINKED.

WHAT'S ON THE TAPES?

A LOT OF SEXY STUFF,

OOH-ING AND AH-ING.

TONY REALLY HAD IT

FOR THIS GIRL.

LET'S FORGET THE GIRL

FOR A SECOND.

SHOW US THE SUSPECTS.

WHO DO YOU THINK

ORDERED THE HIT?

Phil:

JOE MASSINO,

ALSO KNOWN AS JOE BUDDHA,

HEAD OF THE BUFFALO FARM TEAM

FOR THE CRIME FAMILY

IN NEW YORK CITY.

AS BUFFALO'S UNDERBOSS,

HE WAS THE ONLY ONE

WHO HAD THE AUTHORITY

TO ISSUE THE HIT

ON TONY D--

THAT IS,

IF THE HIT WAS OFFICIAL.

JOE BUDDHA HAS INTENSE

CONVERSATIONS WITH PARKING

METERS IN LITTLE ITALY.

I THINK HE NEEDS HELP

PUTTING ON HIS PANTS

IN THE MORNING.

YOU THINK SO?

I DON'T.

HE STILL WEARS THE HAT.

MAYBE HE FOUND OUT

TONY WAS GONNA TURN

STATE'S EVIDENCE.

YEAH?

AND HOW'D HE DO THAT?

HAS TO BE A LEAK.

WHO ELSE YOU GOT?

Phil:

WELL, BESIDES JOE,

THE OTHER FAMILY INSIDER

WHO MIGHT HAVE SENT

THE HITTERS AFTER TONY D

IS MICHAEL NOCERA.

MICHAEL NOCERA,

A.K.A. THE YUPPIE DON.

A REAL GENERATION GAP

BETWEEN HIM, TONY AND JOE.

WORD IS, MICHAEL IS ITCHING

TO TAKE JOE BUDDHA'S PLACE

AS HEAD OF

THE MASSINO FAMILY. JACK.

MICHAEL IS

LIKE THE POSTER BOY

FOR UPWARD MOBILITY.

HE WENT TO PRINCETON...

- TILL THEY KICKED HIM OUT.

...DEVELOPS REAL ESTATE,

HAS A PIECE OF A

RECORD COMPANY,

PULLS IN A COUPLE

EXTRA MILLION A WEEK

FOR JOE BUDDHA

AND THE LATE TONY D

IN THE GASOLINE TAX SCAM.

THE COUNTY, STATE AND FEDS

ALL COLLECT TAX

ON GASOLINE.

NOCERA RUNS 300 MILLION

GALLONS A MONTH THROUGH

FIVE STATES.

COLLECTS THE TAX,

CLOSES IT DOWN AND

KEEPS THE TAXES.

SHELL COMPANIES

WITHIN SHELL COMPANIES,

REGISTERED BACK TO SOME GUY

NAMED JUAN IN PANAMA--

YESTERDAY'S NEWS,

OLD HAT.

MAYBE TONY HAS A BEEF

WITH SOMEBODY IN NEW YORK

OR LAS VEGAS.

LIKE WHO?

YOU GOT NOTHING,

GENTLEMEN.

YOU'RE GRASPING AT STRAWS.

EXCUSE ME, KEENAN,

WEREN'T YOU THE ONE THAT WANTED

O.C. SHOW-AND-TELL DAY?

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW

IS WHY A DETECTIVE

WITH VALENTINE'S HISTORY

WAS TAKEN OFF A DESK

FOR SOMETHING THIS BIG.

ALL DUE RESPECT,

IT'S WHERE HE BELONGS.

JACK'S THE ONE

KNOWS THESE GUYS.

HE'S GOT ALL

THE RELATIONSHIPS.

YEAH, PLUS

HE'S A GOOD COP.

WELL, HE USED TO BE,

SURE,

BUT I NEED SOMEBODY WHO'S

HITTING ON ALL CYLINDERS.

IF JACK MAY SPEAK

FOR HIMSELF FOR A MINUTE,

KEENAN,

THAT'S ALL HISTORY.

IT TOOK YOU

SIX GODDAMN MONTHS

TO SET UP TONY D.

- YOU'VE ONLY GOT TWO WEEKS.

- FOR WHAT?

TO GET ME SOMETHING

TO ROLL THESE GUYS UP.

YOU KNOW,

YOU GLIDE UP IN HERE

THREATENING PEOPLE.

YOU THREATEN FRANK.

AND NOW YOU START

THREATENING ME.

JACK.

I'M COOL, MAN.

TWO WEEKS, THAT'S IT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, JACK?

- I SAY WE FIND THE LEAK.

WHERE DO YOU START?

TONY D'S GIRL IS

AS GOOD A PLACE AS NAY.

THAT'S A WASTE OF TIME.

WELL, RIGHT NOW, KEENAN,

THAT'S ALL WE GOT.

OKAY.

BUT DON'T COME BEGGING

FOR YOUR JOB BACK

WHEN IT DOESN'T

WORK OUT.

GENTLEMEN, COUNSELOR.

DETECTIVE VALENTINE,

COULD I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?

THANK YOU,

DETECTIVE KELLY.

WELL, THAT CERTAINLY

WAS FUN.

WHAT IF KEENAN COMES BACK

FOR HIS BOW TIE?

I DON'T CARE ABOUT KEENAN.

I CARE ABOUT YOU.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE LOST

A LOT OF WEIGHT.

WELL, THE NICE THING ABOUT

A LITTLE ANXIETY

IS YOU LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT

HAVING TO DO ON A DIET.

AND YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE NOT

GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP EITHER.

ARE YOU STILL HAVING

THOSE DREAMS?

- YOU MEAN THE NIGHTMARES?

- MM-HMM.

A TRIPLE FEATURE

EVERY NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD

LET ME COOK YOU DINNER

LATER ON IN THE WEEK.

I THOUGHT WE WEREN'T

DOING THAT ANYMORE.

JACK, IT'S JUST DINNER,

NOT YOUR HAND

IN MARRIAGE.

THINK ABOUT IT.

OH, HI, SUGAR PIE.

NOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING

BACK DOWN HERE?

WELL, I MISSED YOU.

AND I WANTED TO GET

A LITTLE INFORMATION.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

- A WOMAN NAMED ALMA ANSON.

- OKAY.

NOW SHE'S A WITNESS

IN THE TONY DENISIO

MURDER CASE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT

TO KNOW?

ANY LITTLE TIDBIT

YOU CAN GET ME.

♪ WHEN THEY TURN

THE LIGHTS OUT ♪

♪ THE FACE IS

IN THE SHADOW... ♪

WE'RE FINE.

- HEY, HO, HO.

- HEY, JACK.

- YOU LOOK GREAT, MAN.

- HOLY SHIT. WELL...

- HEY, A DRINK, COME ON.

- NO, NO, NOT RIGHT NOW.

NO, NO, I--

- HEY, TOMMY, TOMMY.

- WHAT?

LET ME TALK TO YOU A SECOND.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ABOUT WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT TONY.

OH, FUCK, IT'S CRAZY.

IT'S NUTS, MAN.

NO, NO, NO, NO,

TOMMY, TOMMY,

NOW HOW'S YOUR

BROTHER DOING?

GREAT.

VINCENT'S DOING GREAT.

THAT'S GOOD, 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW,

IT SEEMS MAYBE YOU FORGOT

- I HELPED HIM OUT

WITH HIS EARLY PAROLE.

- HEY, I AIN'T FORGOT.

YOU WERE GREAT, DETECTIVE.

YOU WERE A BIG HELP, OKAY?

OKAY, THEN HELP ME OUT.

TOMMY, GIVE ME SOMETHING.

I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN

THIS KIND OF SHIT BEFORE.

TELL ME ABOUT TONY.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S

ONE OF THOSE THINGS,

YOU KNOW--

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA

FIND OUT WHO DID

ALL OF THIS.

LIKE MAYBE 20 YEARS

FROM NOW, YOU KNOW,

YOU MIGHT FIND OUT THAT--

TOMMY, TOMMY,

I AIN'T GOT 20 YEARS.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

WHAT ABOUT THAT TALL,

SKINNY BLOND GIRL

HE WAS SEEING?

I'M BEING

HONEST HERE, JACK.

WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?

I GOTTA GO.

- TOMMY.

- CALL ME, CALL ME.

( crows cawing )

- ( speaking Latin )

( camera shutter

clicking )

HEY, HEY, LOOK WHO'S PAYING

MICHAEL NOCERA A VISIT.

YEAH, TONY D'S

NUMBER-ONE GUYS.

HE SEEM HAPPY ABOUT IT

TO YOU?

IT'S A FUNERAL, JACK.

HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO

LOOK HAPPY.

NO, MAN, THAT'S BULLSHIT.

THEY'RE LEANING ON HIM, MAN.

THREE-TO-TWO IT'S 'CAUSE

NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE

WHO KILLED TONY D.

WHAT, YOU THINK NOCERA?

HE'S NOT THAT STUPID.

Jack:

HEY, MAN, HOLD ON NOW.

HEY, LOOK WHO

SHOWED UP.

GOD DAMN.

- YOU BITCH.

- UH-OH.

YOU BITCH.

WHORE!

HOW DARE YOU?

HOW DARE YOU?

WHO DO YOU THINK

YOU ARE?

HEY, WHATEVER YOU'RE

THINKING, DON'T DO IT.

PHIL, THEY KNOW WE'RE HERE.

I'M JUST GONNA RATTLE

THE CAGE A LITTLE BIT.

- WHAT THE HELL FOR?

- TO PISS OF THE WILD ANIMALS.

- NOW TRUST ME ON THIS.

I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

- JACK.

SON OF A BITCH.

OH, SORRY,

I'M A LITTLE LATE.

A GUY IS DEAD.

NOW THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT.

YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,

JOEY, JOEY, TECHNICALLY

I HAD A RELATIONSHIP

WITH TONY TOO.

I CAN'T PAY

MY LAST RESPECTS?

WHAT DID I SAY?

JUST LEAVE US

THE FUCK ALONE.

ALL RIGHT.

I CAN SEE WHEN

I'M NOT WANTED.

OKAY.

MICHAEL, FELLOWS.

( sighs )

THE GUY GIVES ME

A LARGE PAIN.

YOU KNOW THAT MAN?

A LONG TIME AGO,

FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IS THAT ALL?

HE USED TO BE AROUND

ALL THE TIME,

ALWAYS POKING

HIS NOSE IN.

YEAH.

HOW GOOD DO YOU KNOW HIM?

JUST ANOTHER HUMP

WITH A BADGE, JOE.

YOU SEE ANYTHING IN THERE,

ANYONE YOU RECOGNIZE?

HUH-UH, SORRY.

IT ALL HAPPENED

TOO QUICKLY.

( through speaker )

I didn't get a good look.

Okay.

WHAT SCHOOL

DID YOU GO TO?

ST. MARY'S, BOSTON,

TILL THEY KICKED ME OUT

FOR TALKING BACK

TO THE NUNS.

MM. FAMILY?

DOES IT UPSET YOU IF I ASK

YOU ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?

YOU CAN'T UPSET ME,

DETECTIVE.

GOOD.

IF YOU MUST KNOW, MY MOTHER

DIED WHEN I WAS FIVE.

MY FATHER DIED

WHEN I WAS EIGHT.

How long have you

known Tony D?

- ONE MONTH.

- WHERE DID YOU MEET?

WHERE THE GIRLS

MEET THE BOYS--

AT SOME PARTY.

DID IT MAYBE BOTHER YOU

WHO HE WAS?

DID IT MAYBE BOTHER YOU

THAT THAT WITNESS

GOT KILLED--

THAT LADY YOU WERE

SUPPOSE TO PROTECT?

DOES IT UPSET YOU

WHEN I ASK YOU ABOUT

YOUR PAST, DETECTIVE?

WHY DON'T WE JUST STAY

FOCUSED ON YOU?

YOU'RE UPSET,

but you can't show it.

JUST ANSWER

MY QUESTIONS.

WHY DID TONY D COME

TO YOUR HOUSE THAT NIGHT?

WHY DID YOUR WIFE

LEAVE YOU?

COUNSEL, YOU WANT

TO TELL YOUR CLIENT

TO QUIT PLAYING GAMES

AND ANSWER

MY QUESTIONS?

( whispers )

MEN LIKE TONY DON'T TALK

TO WOMEN LIKE ME

ABOUT BUSINESS.

AND WHAT DID YOU THINK

TONY'S BUSINESS WAS?

DO I LOOK STUPID

TO YOU, DETECTIVE?

I KNEW EXACTLY

WHAT TONY WAS.

HE WAS GOOD TO ME

AND TIMES ARE TOUGH.

SO IF YOU'RE GONNA

CHARGE ME WITH SOMETHING,

YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.

OTHERWISE I WOULD LIKE

TO LEAVE.

GO AHEAD.

I'M THROUGH WITH YOU FOR NOW.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

( gasps )

OH, YOU SCARED ME.

- HOW DID YOU GET IN?

( music playing )

I STILL GOT MINE.

OH.

FLOWERS--

OH, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

- HI.

- HI.

LET ME DO THIS

FOR YOU.

GO AHEAD.

WAS THERE TRAFFIC?

NO, IT WAS COOL.

GET YOUR JACKET?

( sighs )

WOULD YOU LIKE

SOME WINE?

NO, SHIT.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING

ABOUT A MAN IN THE KITCHEN

THAT REALLY

TURNS ME ON.

REMEMBER WHAT WE SAID?

NO, I DON'T REMEMBER.

JACK.

LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.

HEY.

JACK?

YOU KNOW, YOU'D BETTER

QUIT BLAMING YOURSELF.

OKAY, SO YOU GOT TOO CLOSE

TO A WITNESS-- NOT SMART.

BUT YOU DIDN'T PULL

THE TRIGGER.

ARE YOU GONNA SEND ME

A BILL FOR ALL THIS

FREE ANALYSIS?

NO, SHE KNEW IT WAS

DANGEROUS TO WEAR A WIRE.

SHE WANTED TO DO IT.

IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER

IF WHEN YOU CAME HERE

YOU WERE READY

TO BE HERE.

THE SEA LION'S

GONNA GET YOU.

IT'S GONNA GET YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

( knocks )

HEY.

REMEMBER ME?

OH, WHO ARE YOU

GONNA CALL?

MY ATTORNEY.

WHO DO YOU THINK?

OH, YOU DON'T NEED

TO DO THAT.

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL

VISIT, IF THAT'S OKAY.

WELL, I BELIEVE I'VE ANSWERED

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ALREADY.

I HAVE ONE MORE.

OKAY, WELL, I'VE GOT

ONE QUESTION FOR YOU TOO.

- ( clicks )

- YOU FIRST.

WHAT'S WITH THE RECORDER?

PROTECTION.

I ALWAYS LIKE

TO BE PROTECTED.

RIGHT, QUESTION:

WHY WOULD WHOEVER KILLED

TONY D LEAVE YOU ALIVE?

SO YOU THINK

I'M IN DANGER?

WELL, I THINK

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE

THAT THEY'RE GONNA COME

PAY YOU A VISIT, YEAH.

WELL, I'M NOT

THAT WORRIED.

WELL, I JUST THOUGHT

YOU MIGHT THINK

IT WAS A GOOD IDEA

TO HAVE A FRIEND

THAT WAS A COP.

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN

BY "FRIEND"?

FRIEND-- I TALK, YOU TALK,

THAT KIND OF STUFF.

WELL, FRIENDSHIP IS

SOMETHING YOU FEEL.

IT'S SOMETHING

IN YOUR SOUL.

IT'S NOT AN EXCHANGE

FOR A PAYOFF.

ARE YOU STILL WATCHING ME,

DETECTIVE?

I THINK YOU HAVE

SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE

INTERESTING IN MIND

THAN JUST FRIENDS.

YOU KNOW, THIS--

THIS MIGHT COME

AS A TOTAL SURPRISE,

BUT I DON'T FIND

YOUR TALL, LANKY ASS

IRRESISTIBLE AT ALL.

LOOK, BOYS AND GIRLS

IS THE SUBJECT I'M NEVER

WRONG ABOUT.

ME,

DO YOU?

NO, I DON'T KNOW YOU

PERSONALLY,

BUT THE WORLD'S FULL OF MEN

THAT WANT TO BE MY FRIEND.

ALL RIGHT.

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND

AND YOU DECIDE

YOU CAN USE ONE MORE

MAN FRIEND

IN THE WORLD OF MEN

THAT WANT TO BE

YOUR FRIENDS,

MY NUMBER'S

IN THE BACK.

THANK YOU

FOR YOUR TIME.

OH, ONE MORE THING:

UH, HOW DID YOU KNOW

THAT PERSONAL STUFF

ABOUT ME?

YOU, YOUR WITNESS,

YOUR BREAKDOWN--

COME ON, JACK,

IT WAS ALL IN THE PAPERS.

OKAY.

WAIT, I DIDN'T GET

TO ASK YOU MY QUESTION.

DID IT BOTHER YOU

THAT TONY DIED?

I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE

DIE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

WELL, THAT'S NOT

AN ANSWER.

ARE YOU HAPPY

THAT THEY SHOT HIM?

I THINK YOUR BOYFRIEND WAS

A LOW-ON-THE-FOOD-CHAIN

PIECE OF SHIT

AND THE WORLD IS PROBABLY

BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM.

HMM.

JACK VALENTINE,

- A MAN OF FIRM OPINIONS.

- ( clicks )

HEY, LINA.

HEY, JACK.

YOU GOT ANYTHING FOR ME

ON THE ALMA ANSON THING?

WELL, I CHECKED

MEDICAL,

INTERNAL REVENUE,

COLLEGES.

- AND?

- THERE'S NO RECORD OF HER.

THERE'S NO ST. MARY'S

IN BOSTON.

I MEAN, SHE REALLY

DOESN'T EXIST.

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE SHE'S USING

AN ALIAS.

THANK YOU.

( insects chirping )

( camera shutter clicks )

A WEIRD DAMN THING, MAN.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S GOTTA BE OUT

BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

TONY D'S WIDOW

MADE SURE OF THAT,

CANCELED

THE GOLD CARD TOO.

POOR LITTLE LAMB.

PARTNER,

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'RE

CHASING OUR TAIL HERE.

NO, MAN, WE SHAKE

EVERY FUCKING TREE

TILL SOMETHING

FALLS OUT.

COME ON, ALMA,

SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT.

( playing piano )

( camera shutter clicks )

( static hissing )

- PHIL, WHAT'S THAT STATIC?

- I'M WORKING ON IT.

Hello.

It's me.

SHIT.

WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?

THE PHONE'S DEAD--

THE BUG.

- WELL, FIX THE DAMN THING, MAN.

- WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK

I'M DOING?

YOU'RE THROWING

A PARTY TONIGHT

AND YOU DON'T INVITE--?

WHO IS SHE TALKING TO?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DIDN'T HEAR.

IT CUT OUT JUST AFTER

SHE PICKED UP.

YOU DID, BUT I JUST WANTED

TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.

IS THAT SUPPOSED

TO BE ON?

NO, THAT'S FINE, OKAY?

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

I CAN'T GET ANYTHING.

I CAN'T GET HIM.

GOOD.

SHIT.

PHIL, YOU GET OVER THERE.

YOU REDO EVERY BUG

YOU'VE GOT WITH THE BEST

SHIT YOU'VE GOT, MAN.

- I WANT HER ANSWERING MACHINE

BUGGED-- EVERYTHING.

- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I'M GONNA TAIL HER, MAN.

DAMN IT.

NO, NOT HERE,

FOR CHRISSAKE.

COME ON.

EXCUSE ME.

- YEAH?

- I NEED TO SEE

YOUR INVITATION.

- OH, WHO ARE YOU?

- I'M MICHAEL'S PUBLICIST.

MICHAEL WANTS PUBLICITY?

YEAH?

YEAH, I DO A VERY

GOOD JOB.

- YEAH.

- YEAH, YOUR INVITATION.

OH.

HERE, IT'S MY V.I.P. CARD,

MASTER SHIELD.

I NEVER LEAVE HOME

WITHOUT IT.

( music continues

in distance )

MM, GOD, I MISSED YOU.

WAIT.

OH, YOU GOT TIME

TO TALK TO ME?

- LOOK, I WANT TO EXPLAIN.

- NO, NO, THERE'S NOTHING

YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN.

- I KNOW YOUNG LOVE

WHEN I SEE IT.

- NO, NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT?

WHAT DON'T I UNDERSTAND?

I WORK OUT EVERY DAY.

I LOVE MY WIFE.

I LOVE MY FAMILY.

MICHAEL, LOOK,

YOU ARE IN GREAT SHAPE

AND YOU JUST GOT AN UNUSUAL

WAY OF SHOWING YOUR LOVE.

NO, NO, LOOK, LOOK,

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT

SHE'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT?

THE WOMAN IS OBSESSED

WITH ME.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD,

BECAUSE YOU JUST BECAME

MY NUMBER-ONE SUSPECT

IN THE TONY D MURDER.

I THINK MAYBE

YOU TOOK A WRONG IDEA.

ALMA IS TONY'S GIRL.

WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.

MICHAEL, YOU NEED TO TAKE

YOUR HANDS OFF ME.

- SHE GOT YOU ACTING

KIND OF CRAZY, MAN.

- OH, IS THAT RIGHT?

- YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

- WELL, I'VE SEEN YOU

LOOKING AT HER TOO.

HERE'S THE DEAL:

YOU TURN STATE'S WITNESS,

I'LL GET YOU SOMEWHERE SAFE.

- REALLY?

- MM-HMM.

FUCK YOU.

NO, FUCK YOU.

SEE, YOU FUCKED YOURSELF.

YOU'D BETTER HOPE

YOU CALL ME BEFORE YOUR

UNCLE JOEY CALLS YOU.

YOU PAWN.

YOU PIECE OF SHIT.

HEY, EXCUSE ME.

BACK UP, BACK UP.

FIVE-OH.

- CARRY ON.

- THANK YOU.

GIVE ME A LITTLE SPACE.

( car horns honking )

( people shouting )

SO SHE WAS BANGING

NOCERA AND TONY D

AT THE SAME TIME?

I'M TELLING YOU,

SHE WAS SEEING THEM

BOTH, MAN.

THIS CASE IS STARTING

TO COME TOGETHER,

PARTNER.

YOU KNOW THOSE WEIRD

CAT STATUES SHE HAS

IN HER APARTMENT?

THEY'RE LIKE

CHINESE WISH DOLLS,

LIKE BIRTHDAY CANDLES,

LIKE WHEN YOUR

WISH COMES TRUE,

YOU PAINT THE EYE IN.

- SO?

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SO?

SO HOW MANY

STATUES SHE GOT?

THREE.

HOW MANY HAVE THE EYES

PAINTED IN?

NEVER REALLY LOOKED.

ONE.

ONE.

WHAT IF THAT ONE EYE

WAS FOR TONY D?

I DON'T KNOW, PARTNER.

I THINK YOU'RE KIND OF

STRETCHING IT NOW.

NO, NO,

NO STRETCHING, PHIL.

THIS IS COMING TOGETHER.

NO STRETCHING, PHIL.

HEY, JOE, JOE,

- YOU WANT TO CROSS

THE STREET?

- HUH?

OH, KNOCK IT OFF.

YOU NEED A LITTLE

HELP HERE? COME ON.

- HELP I DON'T NEED.

- OH, YES, YOU DO.

EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU'RE STILL

RUNNING THE SHOW, JOE,

EXCEPT FOR MAYBE

MICHAEL NOCERA.

NOW THAT'S AN AMBITIOUS

YOUNG GUY, MAN.

OH, YEAH.

YOU KNOW, HE WIPED OUT

YOUR FRIEND TONY D

RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSE.

JOE, THERE'S NO LOVE LOST

BETWEEN MICHAEL NOCERA

AND TONY D.

NOW MAYBE TONY WAS GONNA

FLIP STATE'S EVIDENCE,

MAYBE NOT.

MAYBE THAT JUST GAVE

MICHAEL THE EXCUSE

HE NEEDED, HUH?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I'M TALKING

ABOUT TONY'S GIRL.

MICHAEL'S DOING HER--

YOU KNOW, THE TALL

ONE AT THE FUNERAL.

I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

YOU DON'T FIT INTO NOCERA'S

VISION OF THE FAMILY

ANY MORE THAN YOUR FRIEND

TONY D DID.

BUT THE F.B.I.--

THEY GOT TWO PLACES.

THEY GOT

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.

YOU LIKE THE SUN?

HEY, BOSS,

EVERYTHING OKAY?

GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER

IN NEW MEXICO.

JOEY, I COULD BE

YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN.

- ( phones ringing )

- ( people chattering )

NOW MICHAEL NOCERA

DIDN'T ACTUALLY PULL

THE TRIGGER ON TONY D,

BUT HE DID

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

AND HE DID IT WITHOUT

UNCLE JOE'S BLESSING.

YOU THINK YOU CAN

SQUEEZE HIM?

HEY, I THINK HE'D RATHER

FLIP FOR US AND GIVE UP

HIS WHOLE DAMN CREW

THAN FACE A SHOWDOWN

WITH JOE BUDDHA.

IF YOU CAN MAKE THIS

AIRTIGHT IN EIGHT DAYS,

GREAT.

TONY AND I GO BACK

A LONG TIME.

UNDERSTAND?

THE GUY HAD PROBLEMS.

HE WAS TURNING

STATE'S EVIDENCE, JOE.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

NOBODY'S SAYING DIFFERENT.

ARE YOU FUCKING

LISTENING TO ME?

I'M NOT THE ONE

WHO ORDERED THE HIT

ON TONY D.

THERE'S A WAY TO DEAL

WITH PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.

AND NOBODY DOES ANYTHING

UNLESS I SAY SO.

UNDERSTOOD?

UNDERSTOOD.

TONY WAS A GOOD FRIEND.

HE'S A BACKDOOR STUGOTS,

A POTENTIAL RAT,

A FUCKING YELLOW DOG,

BUT I DEAL WITH IT,

NO ONE ELSE.

MAYBE IT WAS CARLUCCI

FROM VEGAS, HUH?

YOU KNOW,

SOME PEOPLE THINK

I'M READY FOR

A PARK BENCH.

- ( chuckles )

- NOBODY THINKS THAT, JOE.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, MIKEY?

YOU THINK YOU'RE READY

TO DRIVE THE TRUCK?

NOW LET ME TELL YOU,

IT'S A VERY FAST

FUCKING VEHICLE.

ANOTHER THING

THAT BOTHERS ME--

THAT GIRL TONY D

WAS GOING WITH

GIVES ME A BAD FEELING,

VERY BAD.

( tires screech )

- ( tires screech )

( horn honks )

Tony.

Yeah?

Did I ever tell you

about the time I was

in boarding school?

Nah, you didn't.

It was 102 in the shade.

( knocks on door )

Oh, baby.

It was so hot...

- YEAH.

Alma:

IT'S ME.

- ALMA?

- YEAH.

You know how

I dozed off?

How?

I was naked

under the sheets.

( turns off player )

COME ON IN.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

I DO NEED A FRIEND.

I DON'T KNOW, JACK.

YOU SURPRISE ME.

YEAH, WELL,

IT'S A SUBLET.

HAVE A SEAT.

A DRINK?

GOT A GLASS?

NOT A CLEAN ONE.

I'LL PASS.

( turns on player )

And then

a little hand

dropped down...

( turns off )

YOU'RE A HELL OF

A STORYTELLER.

DID YOU MAKE THAT SHIT UP

OR DID YOU LIKE READ IT

IN A BOOK OR WHAT?

ACTUALLY IT WASN'T

A BOARDING SCHOOL.

IT WAS AN ORPHANAGE.

NOW YOU'RE TRYING

TO PLAY ME, HUH?

YOU ADD SOME

VIOLINS IN THERE?

TRYING TO PUSH

MY BUTTONS?

I GOT NO BUTTONS

LEFT TO PUSH.

WANT TO BET?

SEE, NOW MICHAEL AND TONY--

THEY MAY LIKE ALL THIS,

BUT ME-- YOU NEED TO FIND

YOURSELF ANOTHER SUCKER.

WHAT, ARE YOU AFRAID

OF ME?

YOU CAME BY HERE

TO TELL ME SOMETHING.

WHY DON'T YOU

CUT TO THE CHASE?

WHAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE

WHAT YOU HEAR?

LIKE WHAT YOU TOLD

MICHAEL NOCERA TO GET HIM

TO KILL TONY D?

YOU'RE GIVING ME

TOO MUCH CREDIT, JACK.

THEY'RE JUST

NATURAL PREDATORS.

SO WHAT WOULD MICHAEL

THE NATURAL PREDATOR

THINK OF YOU

WITH ME RIGHT NOW?

IT'S OVER.

HE'S IN THE PAST.

WHY DON'T I

BELIEVE YOU?

BECAUSE YOU'RE A COP.

IT'S YOUR JOB.

( phone ringing )

( answering machine

clicks )

Hi. This is Jack.

Please leave a message

after the beep.

( machine beeps )

Woman:

Jack, I know you're there.

Pick up, come on.

We need to talk.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY

NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU

PRETTY BAD.

Jack, pick up.

- EXCUSE ME A MINUTE.

Jack, I'm not

gonna hang up.

Pick up.

Come on, we need to talk.

Jack, pick up the phone.

YEAH.

NO, NO, I JUST RAN

THE PHOTO.

CAN I CALL YOU BACK

IN FIVE MINUTES?

RIGHT, YEAH,

I'LL CALL YOU

IN FIVE MINUTES.

RIGHT.

ALMA?

Jack:

THIS GIRL'S READY

TO TALK.

NOW WE'VE GOT

A BREAK HERE.

LET'S ROLL WITH IT.

WHAT BREAK? SHE COMES

TO YOUR HOUSE. SHE SAYS

SHE WANTS TO HAVE DINNER.

WHAT, ALL OF A SUDDEN

SHE FINDS YOU A WITTY

CONVERSATIONALIST?

JESUS.

IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON

BETWEEN YOU AND THIS WITNESS

THAT I NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT, JACK?

NO.

I'M CULTIVATING

AN INFORMANT, THAT'S IT.

OKAY.

LOOK, JACK WILL BE

WEARING A WIRE.

I'LL BE IN THE TRUCK.

WE'LL GET EVERY WORD

ON TAPE.

I MEAN, IT'S WORTH

A SHOT.

Keenan:

ALL THIS GIRLFRIEND SHIT

IS MARGINAL.

TONY WAS SERVING US JOE

ON A PLATTER. HE FOUND OUT

ABOUT IT AND ICED HIM.

- IT'S REAL SIMPLE.

- IT WAS MICHAEL NOCERA.

- REALLY?

- REALLY.

LOOK, ALMA ANSON

IS NOT EVEN A REAL NAME.

SHE IS DYING

TO GIVE ME SOMETHING

I CAN USE TO SQUEEZE

MICHAEL NOCERA WITH.

I FEEL IT.

LET'S JUST GET IT

ON TAPE.

NOCERA WOULD

SELL OUT HIS GRANDMOTHER

TO AVOID GOING TO JAIL.

WE PUT A LITTLE

PRESSURE ON HIM, I THINK

HE'D GIVE US JOE BUDDHA.

YEAH. YOU KNOW,

I THINK I LIKED

THESE GUYS BETTER

WHEN THEY HAD

THE CODE OF SILENCE.

( chuckles )

NO SHIT.

OKAY, I'LL GO WITH IT,

BUT I WANT EVERYTHING

OFFICIAL AND ON RECORD.

AND I'M THE ONLY ONE

WHO CUTS A DEAL.

SO TELL ME A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT THIS TONY FELLOW.

TONY CAME INTO MY LIFE

AT A TIME WHEN I REALLY

NEEDED SOMEBODY.

Tony was a very

controlling man.

He had to know where

I was all the time.

So he was

a control freak.

( chuckles )

He was a control freak,

yeah.

SO YOU STARTED AN AFFAIR

WITH A CONTROL FREAK'S

BUSINESS PARTNER.

WELL, IT WASN'T SMART,

BUT I THINK

YOU OF ALL PEOPLE

SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

( chuckles )

NO, LET'S LEAVE JACK

OUT OF THIS.

I'M THE LAST ONE TO PASS

JUDGMENT ON ANYBODY.

MM, SOUNDS LIKE

THE KIND OF GUY I NEED.

WHY? YOU GOT

MORE TO HIDE?

CURIOSITY KILLED

THE CAT, JACK.

BUT WHO KILLED TONY D?

DID YOU TELL NOCERA

THAT HE WAS GONNA TURN

STATE'S EVIDENCE?

DON'T BE SUCH A COP.

I-- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

( static hissing )

JACK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

( sighs )

( static stops )

- NO.

- HEY.

- GET AWAY.

- HEY.

ALMA, WAKE UP.

IT'S ME.

WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

LOOK, IT WAS

AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT, OKAY?

LET'S JUST LEAVE IT

AT THAT.

( water running )

OH, SHIT.

HOW IS HE FEELING

THIS MORNING?

HE JUST WOKE UP.

THIS IS

THE THIRD NIGHT THIS WEEK

HE DIDN'T COME HOME.

YOUR PARTNER'S HERE.

( clock chiming )

GOOD MORNING.

YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

HERE.

HELP YOURSELF.

I'M HAVING

HERBAL TEA.

- ( dog squealing )

- GO ON.

GO FIND YOUR MOTHER.

SO HOW ARE YOU

FEELING?

HOW AM I FEELING?

WELL, I WAS ON A LISTENING

POST LAST NIGHT

AND SOMEBODY MESSED

WITH MY GEAR.

YEAH, WE NEED TO TALK

ABOUT THAT.

COME ON.

YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE BUG

ON HER CELL PHONE, JACK.

YOU HEARD, HUH?

EVERY LAST WORD.

JUST ERASE

THOSE DAMN TAPES.

JUST-- JUST TELL THEM

THE EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONED

LIKE IT DID FOR US

THE OTHER DAY IN THE VAN.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA BUY THAT.

TWICE IN ONE WEEK?

COME ON.

THIS IS MY JOB.

PHIL, I'M YOUR PARTNER.

YOU KNOW I'D DO

THE SAME FOR YOU.

I'D BACK YOU UP.

CAN YOU GIVE ME

A LITTLE BREAK?

I GAVE YOU A BREAK, JACK.

I WENT TO THE MATS

FOR YOU.

YOU KNOW,

AND NOW IT'S BACK

TO THE SAME OLD SHIT.

( footsteps )

YOU SAID YOU'D MAKE

BREAKFAST FOR RUPERT.

( sighs )

IN A SECOND,

HONEY, OKAY?

I'LL GET IT.

I DON'T

BELIEVE THIS, MAN.

( chuckles )

FIRST TIME OUT OF THE BOX

IN OVER A YEAR AND, WELL--

I JUST HOPE

SHE WAS WORTH IT.

SHE WAS WORTH IT, MAN.

YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU JUST

SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE HEAD

AND SAVE EVERYBODY

THE TROUBLE?

HERE.

ARE YOU GONNA WORK

WITH ME OR NOT?

( sighs )

ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, MAN.

( phone ringing )

HELLO.

WHERE WERE YOU

LAST NIGHT?

COME ON,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA

START THAT AGAIN,

ARE YOU?

YOU KNOW, JOE'S GOONS

TOOK A SHOT AT ME.

WHAT?

MICHAEL, I'M NOT

WORRIED ABOUT ME.

I'M WORRIED WHAT

THEY'LL DO TO YOU.

EH?

FREAKIN' VIOLETS--

THESE PURPLES ONES

ARE BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.

- I WANT SIX FLATS OF THESE.

- SIX OF THOSE.

- YEAH, I WANT THIS COLOR.

- YEAH.

AND THIS TOO.

GO RING THEM UP, EH?

OKAY, I'LL COME BACK

FOR THE REST LATER.

( dings )

( groaning )

( sirens wailing )

JOE, JOE, MAN,

I GOT ONE WORD FOR YOU--

ARIZONA.

GET HIM INSIDE.

EASY, EASY.

AND THEY DIDN'T SAY

WHO THEY WERE FROM?

Man:

NO, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

HEY.

HMM?

WHY DON'T WE

GO AWAY SOMEWHERE,

GET AWAY

FROM ALL THIS,

START AGAIN TOGETHER,

START CLEAN?

AND I'M GONNA WEAR

A BIG T-SHIRT

SAYING

"JACK THE FUCK-UP."

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN

TO MEXICO?

NO.

WE COULD FLY

INTO OAXACA,

SPEND A FEW WEEKS

ON A BEACH

AT ESCONDIDO,

BUY A CAR CHEAP,

DRIVE TO YUCATAN,

MAYBE TRY COSTA RICA.

SOUNDS NICE.

MAYBE IN SOME OTHER

LIFETIME.

SWEETHEART,

WE ONLY HAVE THIS ONE.

- HEY, GEORGE.

- GOOD EVENING, SIR.

- SEE YOU, JOE.

- GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT.

( jazz playing )

LET NOBODY SAY

ME AND VINCENT EVER

FORGOT A FAVOR.

YOU HELPED OUT

WITH THE PAROLE.

WE AIN'T FORGOT.

THAT'S GOOD, TOMMY,

BUT WHO'S EMMA DUCKWORTH?

YOU WAS ASKING AROUND

ABOUT ALMA, RIGHT?

SO THIS EMMA DUCKWORTH'S

HER GRANDMOTHER.

APPRECIATE THAT.

- THANK YOU, DEAR.

- YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

MISS DUCKWORTH,

DO YOU RECOGNIZE

THIS LADY RIGHT HERE?

OH, YES.

THIS IS MARIAN.

YOU KNOW,

WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG

SHE HAD A BEAUTIFUL

DOLL COLLECTION

AND SHE COULD PLAY

WITH IT

FOREVER AND EVER.

AND IT WAS REALLY--

EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME,

NOW WHAT DID YOU SAY

HER NAME WAS?

MARIAN HAMILTON.

YES, THIS IS MARIAN.

I WAS RIGHT THERE

IN THE CHURCH

THE DAY SHE WAS

CHRISTENED.

WHAT ABOUT

THIS GENTLEMAN HERE?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE

THAT FELLOW?

HMM, YES.

THIS IS FRED HAMILTON--

MARIAN'S FATHER,

VERY INTERESTING.

HE COULD READ

A BOOK THIS THICK

IN A DAY.

- PROLIFIC.

- YEAH.

WELL, LET ME ASK YOU

A QUESTION:

IF THIS IS HER DAD,

DID MARIAN SPENT ANY TIME

IN AN ORPHANAGE?

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, NO.

BUT SHE SPENT TWO YEARS

IN A HOSPITAL.

WHAT KIND OF HOSPITAL?

AND SHE STILL IS

A BIT UNSTABLE.

POOR MARIAN,

SUCH A LOVELY GIRL.

( playing piano )

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO

REACH YOU ALL DAY SO I COULD

FIND OUT WHAT THE GIRL SAID.

BUT THEY SAID YOU TOOK

A FOUR-HOUR LUNCH. AND NOW

YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE

THAT $150,000 WORTH

OF HIGH-TECH EQUIPMENT

JUST STOPPED WORKING?

YEAH, WELL, THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

IT HAPPENED TO ME AND PHIL

THE OTHER DAY IN THE VAN.

- IT HAPPENED LAST YEAR.

- ( phone rings )

VALENTINE.

YEAH.

SHIT.

( siren wailing )

AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME,

THE POLICE ARE COMBING

THE AREA.

THEY'RE STILL WAITING

TO RELEASE THE IDENTITY...

- WHERE IS HE?

- IN THE CAR.

WHAT HAPPENED?

MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS,

ABOUT A DOZEN,

FOR STARTERS.

( sighs )

YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED,

MICHAEL.

IT'S A GAMBLE WE TOOK

AND WE LOST.

WHAT?

JOE GOT TO NOCERA

BEFORE WE COULD.

THE BAD NEWS IS,

WITHOUT NOCERA,

THE ONLY GUY LEFT

ON YOUR LIST THAT CAN

CRACK THIS FAMILY OPEN

IS JOE BUDDHA HIMSELF.

THE GOOD NEWS IS--

RECOGNIZE THIS?

IT'S ALMA ANSON'S SCARF,

JACK.

I SURE AM GLAD HER SLIPPERS

BED.

- YOU'RE EARLY.

- ARE YOU COMPLAINING?

- NOPE.

- ALL RIGHT.

KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

- STAY WARM.

- ALL RIGHT, PARTNER.

( door opens

and closes )

( receding footsteps )

( knocks on door )

( gun clicks )

WHAT ARE YOU

DOING HERE?

WE NEED TO TALK,

MARIAN.

DON'T EVER

CALL ME THAT.

WELL, OF THESE NICE CATS,

YOU SEE, THE SHORT ONE

MUST BE FOR TONY D.

THAT WOULD MAKE THIS ONE

FOR MICHAEL NOCERA.

YOU REALLY DID A JOB

ON THOSE GUYS, HUH?

I DIDN'T NEED TO.

THEY LIVE IN A CRUEL WORLD.

THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES.

SO YOU KEEP TELLING ME.

WHAT'S THIS FOR?

LOOK, I KNOW YOUR DAD

WAS AN ACCOUNTANT

FOR SEA LARK--

JOE BUDDHA'S LITTLE

GAS SCAM.

SO WHAT DO YOU KNOW

THAT GOT THESE GUYS

TO TURN ON EACH OTHER?

JOE BUDDHA DOESN'T DESERVE

TO LIVE AND BREATHE.

WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?

HE KILLED MY FATHER.

Alma:

MY DAD WAS AN ACCOUNTANT,

AN HONEST ONE.

HE MADE THE MISTAKE

OF TAKING ON

THE SEA LARK BOOKS

FOR JOE BUDDHA,

MICHAEL NOCERA

AND TONY D.

BY THE TIME

MY DAD REALIZED

WHO HIS REAL

BOSSES WERE,

HE WAS IN TOO DEEP.

( gunshot )

YOU NEVER TOLD ANYBODY

WHAT YOU SAW?

OF COURSE I DID.

YOU THINK

THEY BELIEVED ME?

THE COPS SAID

IT WAS SUICIDE.

SOMEBODY GOT PAID OFF.

YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING THIS

FOR 15 YEARS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO

ANYMORE.

DO YOU REALIZE

YOU'RE PROBABLY THE ONLY

LIVING WITNESS

THAT'S EVER SEEN JOE BUDDHA

COMMIT A MURDER HIMSELF?

YOU COULD FORCE HIM

TO TURN STATE'S EVIDENCE.

THIS COULD BE

THE BUST OF THE CENTURY.

THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

COULD HAND DOWN

DOZENS OF INDICTMENTS

RIGHT ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.

JOE BUDDHA'S GONNA WALK?

THAT'S JUSTICE ALL RIGHT.

JOE BUDDHA

IN WITNESS PROTECTION

IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY

FOR PROSECUTIONS

ON THAT SCALE.

ALMA, YOU WANT TO NAIL

THESE GUYS?

YOU FUCKING REALLY

WANT TO NAIL THEM?

YOU COULD ROLL UP

HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.

WASTING THAT

SON OF A BITCH

WOULD FEEL

A WHOLE LOT BETTER.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET

NEXT TO JOE WITH A GUN,

NOT NOW.

YOU NEED ME

TO GET TO HIM.

I CAN WORK IT OUT SO THAT

I'D BE THERE WITH YOU.

I WOULD BE THERE

TO PROTECT YOU.

LIKE YOU WERE THERE

WITH THAT OTHER WOMAN--

THE ONE

THAT WORE THE WIRE?

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

FORGET I ASKED.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

( Alma's voice )

Look, it was an incredible

night, okay?

Let's just leave it

at that.

( Jack's voice )

We'll have a lot

of nights like that.

( turns off player )

WHAT'S THE MATTER, JACK?

IT GETS BETTER.

YOU'RE SLEEPING

WITH A KEY SUSPECT

IN THE MOST IMPORTANT

O.C. INVESTIGATION

IN 20 YEARS.

AND WHAT'S WORSE, I THINK

YOU'RE PROTECTING HER.

EVERYONE WHO GETS MIXED UP

WITH THIS WOMAN

ENDS UP ON A SLAB

AT THE MORGUE.

DO YOU WANT

TO BE NEXT?

SALLY, I--

I AM SO CLOSE

TO GETTING SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW, WHAT'S TRAGIC

IS THAT THERE'S A PART OF ME

THAT WANTS

TO BELIEVE YOU.

I'M GONNA

HAVE TO HAVE JENNINGS

TAKE YOU OFF THE CASE.

AND THEN I'M GONNA HAVE

TO CALL I.A.D.

THERE'S GONNA BE

AN INVESTIGATION.

THIS IS A MESS.

LISTEN, I CAN DELIVER

JOE BUDDHA

IN 48 HOURS,

READY TO TURN

STATE'S EVIDENCE.

IMPOSSIBLE.

IF I DON'T DO THIS,

I'LL GIVE YOU MY BADGE

AND MY GUN

WITH PLEASURE.

- HEY, MOTHERFUCKER, YOU GOT

SOME 'SPLAINING TO DO.

- HEY, MAN, FUCK YOU.

YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK

AND GIVE THOSE TAPES TO

SALLY CLAIRE? WHY, PHIL?

I DIDN'T TELL CLAIRE

ANYTHING, ALL RIGHT?

SHE ALREADY KNEW

ABOUT YOU AND ALMA.

IT WAS EITHER

HAND OVER THE TAPES

OR LOSE MY FUCKING JOB.

SO YOU COULDN'T

TELL ME YOURSELF?

LOOK, JACK,

I'M SORRY, MAN,

BUT I NEED THIS JOB,

YOU KNOW?

I GOT A WIFE

THAT DEPENDS ON ME.

COME ON.

I WAS GONNA TELL YOU.

LOOK, YOU'D BETTER

TAKE IT EASY, YOU KNOW?

YOU LOSE IT AGAIN,

THEY'RE NOT JUST GONNA

GIVE YOU YOUR DESK JOB.

THEY'RE GONNA KICK YOU

OFF THE DAMN FORCE.

( knocks on door )

- YEAH?

IT'S ME.

OKAY, I'LL DO IT

YOUR WAY.

YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED

MY DAD.

I KNOW I WOULD HAVE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW BLUE

THE SKY IS IN MEXICO?

HUH-UH.

HOW BLUE?

IT IS BLUE LIKE

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN.

AND I KNOW A PLACE

WHERE THE SAND ISN'T WHITE,

IT'S PINK.

PINK SAND?

I LIKE THAT.

Tommy:

...A MINIATURE STEINWAY,

RIGHT?

AND THE GENIE SAYS,

"I'M SORRY, LADY.

I THOUGHT YOU MEANT

A 9" PIANIST."

CUTE.

TOMMY, LET ME SEE YOU.

COME HERE.

HEY, JACK,

HOW IS IT GOING?

GOOD. LET ME

SEE YOU, PLEASE.

EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.

SURE. WHAT'S HAPPENING?

LISTEN, I NEED TO GET

A WORD WITH JOEY B.

CAN YOU HOOK THAT UP

FOR ME?

JESUS, JACK, FUCK.

I'M GRATEFUL AND

EVERYTHING,

BUT YOU'RE PUTTING ME

ON THE FUCKING SPOT HERE.

TOMMY, ONE LITTLE

CONVERSATION.

PLEASE SIT DOWN.

SIT DOWN.

ONE LITTLE CONVERSATION,

THAT'S ALL I NEED.

AND YOU CAN DO THAT.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,

DETECTIVE.

TWO BIG GUYS ARE DEAD.

NOBODY KNOWS WHERE

JOE IS EVEN.

ARE YOU SAYING

HE'S SCARED?

JOE? HE AIN'T BEEN SCARED

IN 30 YEARS.

HE'S WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL

CONCERNED, ALL RIGHT, BUT--

I'M CONCERNED.

EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED.

I'M JUST TRYING TO GET

THE MAN SOME USEFUL

INFORMATION.

OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL?

I WANT TO HAVE DINNER

WITH THE GUY,

COMPLETELY OFF THE RECORD.

CAN YOU SET THAT UP?

I CAN'T BELIEVE

KEENAN AGREED TO THIS.

WELL, HE DIDN'T

ACTUALLY AGREE.

WHAT, YOU MEAN

HE DOESN'T KNOW?

NO, NOT EXACTLY.

WAIT, WAIT, WHAT THE FUCK

DO YOU MEAN, NOT EXACTLY?

KEENAN FINDS OUT THAT

WE'RE RUNNING OUR OWN

PERSONAL BLACK OPS HERE,

HE'S GONNA SHITCAN

THE BOTH OF US,

GOD DAMN IT.

PHIL, PHIL, LOOK,

JUST WORK WITH ME

ON THIS ONE, OKAY?

NOW YOU'RE THE ONE

THAT PIMPED ME ON THE TAPES

TO SALLY CLAIRE.

I PIMPED YOU?

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT GOT

INVOLVED WITH A WITNESS, JACK.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S GOT HER

WEARING THE WIRE.

DOES THIS SOUND

FAMILIAR?

PHIL, ALL YOU GOTTA DO

IS SIT IN THIS LITTLE VAN,

PRESS "RECORD"

AND HOPE THIS SHIT WORKS.

CAN YOU PLEASE DO THAT?

HOW IS THIS GIRL

GONNA GET JOE B

TO TURN ANYWAY?

LET ME WORRY

ABOUT THAT, OKAY?

GET THE FUCK

OUT OF HERE.

OH, JESUS CHRIST.

DETECTIVE, MY PEOPLE

TELL ME

YOU'RE A VERY

COMPASSIONATE GUY,

AN ODDBALL,

BUT VERY KIND INDIVIDUAL.

AND I LIKE THAT.

WELL, I APPRECIATE

THAT, JOE.

OF COURSE

YOU'RE COMPASSIONATE

SO FUCKING MOPES TAKE YOU

INTO THEIR CONFIDENCE.

( chuckling )

AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT

IN YOUR LINE OF WORK.

WELL, PEOPLE SKILLS

CAN BE HELPFUL, YES.

( knocks on door )

( door opens )

WHAT'S THIS, DETECTIVE?

I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA

DINE ALONE.

Well, Alma here

is a friend of mine.

She's been dying

to meet you.

And I think you're gonna

want to hear her out.

Sit down, sweetheart.

Now Tommy said you had

some information for me?

Well, actually

Alma's the one

with the information.

SO WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

I HELPED MICHAEL NOCERA

KILL YOUR PAL TONY D.

I TOLD MICHAEL

THAT YOU AND TONY

WERE SKIMMING HIM

ON THE GAS TAX SCAM

THAT HE INVENTED.

AND THEN I MADE YOU

KILL NOCERA

BY MAKING SURE

THAT YOU KNEW THAT

THE TWO OF US WERE TOGETHER.

WHO IS THIS LADY?

SHE'S CRAZY.

MARIAN HAMILTON.

YOU REMEMBER

A COMPANY CALLED

THE SEA LARK

COMPANY, JOE?

SEA LARK?

SEA LARK-- THAT'S A NAME

I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF

IN A LONG TIME.

THAT'S BECAUSE

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

SINCE YOU KILLED

FRED HAMILTON.

HE WAS THE ACCOUNTANT

FOR YOUR GAS STATIONS--

MY FATHER.

FRED HAMILTON.

HE WAS A NICE MAN.

HE WAS TOO HONEST.

THAT WAS HIS PROBLEM.

SO YOU KILLED HIM.

MARIAN HAMILTON--

EYEWITNESS TO THE MURDER

OF FRED HAMILTON.

NOW SHE SAW YOU

KILL HER FATHER, JOE.

Now you can die in jail

serving out a life sentence

for the murder

of Fred Hamilton,

OR WE CAN MAKE A DEAL.

- A DEAL?

- THEY'RE GONNA GET YOU

SOONER OR LATER, MAN.

MAKE A DEAL WITH ME NOW.

IT'S GONNA BE ARIZONA

OR NEW MEXICO.

( knocks on door )

( door opens )

Man:

MR. VALENTINE,

YOU HAVE A PHONE CALL.

Jack:

NOT RIGHT NOW.

Man:

IT'S A MR. KEENAN, SIR.

IT'S URGENT.

THE F.B.I.?

I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNOFFICIAL.

JOE, I LIED.

IT HAD TO BE THIS WAY.

I'M SORRY.

WE'RE WIRED.

THIS PLACE

IS SURROUNDED.

HAD TO BE THAT WAY.

DON'T DO

ANYTHING STUPID.

( line beeping )

- HELLO. HELLO.

- HELLO?

( gunshots )

( people screaming )

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME.

COMING THROUGH.

ALMA.

GOD DAMN IT.

- JACK.

- I'M RIGHT HERE, BABY.

I'M RIGHT HERE.

WHAT DID YOU DO IT?

I--

I DIDN'T.

( distant siren wailing )

( Joe's voice )

The FBI? I thought

this was unofficial.

( Jack's voice )

Joe, I lied. It had to

be this way, I'm sorry.

We're wired.

This place is

surrounded.

Don't do

anything stupid.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I wasn't happy--

what happened to

your father.

( Alma's voice )

Neither was I.

( Alma screams )

What the fuck?

( gunshots )

WAIT A MINUTE.

PLAY THAT PART AGAIN

AFTER SHE SAYS,

"NEITHER WAS I."

( Alma screams )

What the fuck?

( gunshots )

WHAT'S THE MOMENT OF SILENCE

AFTER THE FIRST SCREAM?

WELL, THE D.A.D.

PROBABLY CRASHED

INTO THE HEADROOM.

MEANING WHAT?

IN ENGLISH, PHIL.

WELL, ON A REGULAR

ANALOG TAPE RECORDER,

IF THE SOUND'S TOO LOUD,

IT'LL RECORD DISTORTED.

BUT WITH DIGITAL,

IF THE SIGNAL'S TOO HOT,

THE SOUND JUST DROPS OUT

ALTOGETHER.

WHY DO I HEAR

THE OTHER GUNSHOTS?

WELL, AFTER THE FIRST ONE

I KNOCKED DOWN THE GAIN

SO THE OTHER ONES

WOULDN'T DROP OUT.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,

SHE FUCKED US BOTH.

( woman speaking

indistinctly )

( continues speaking

indistinctly )

THIS IS ALL THE EVIDENCE

YOU GOT ON THE JOE BUDDHA

CASE, RIGHT?

- IT'S ALL I GOT, JACK.

- OKAY.

- THANKS A LOT, MAN.

- I'LL SEE YOU.

( clicks )

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I wasn't happy--

what happened to

your father.

Neither was I.

( Alma screams )

Phil? What the fuck?

( gunshots )

( rewinds )

( Alma screams )

Phil? What the fuck?

( gunshots )

PHIL?

( rewinds )

PHIL? WHAT THE FUCK?

YOU JUST COULDN'T LET IT GO,

COULD YOU, BUDDY?

HOLY SHIT, MAN.

WELL, IT'S REALLY

PRETTY EASY.

YOU HAD JOE COLD,

WHICH MEANT YOU HAD ME

AND EVERY OTHER COP

ON HIS PAYROLL.

I WANTED TO BRING YOU IN

ON IT, JACK,

SHARE THE WEALTH,

YOU KNOW?

YOU BROUGHT TOO MUCH

ATTENTION TO YOURSELF

WITH THAT GIRL,

MESSED IT UP

FOR EVERYBODY.

WHY ME, MAN?

WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK

I'D DO THIS?

I FIGURED IF ANYBODY

COULD USE A LITTLE EXTRA

INCOME, IT'D BE YOU.

A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS

A WEEK TO PUT YOUR LIFE

ON THE LINE--

IT'S A LOUSY GIG, JACK.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA

DO NOW, PARTNER?

ARE YOU GONNA TAKE ME OUT

RIGHT HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

A GUY GOT FIRED,

WENT POSTAL.

THANK GOD THAT BRAVE OFFICER

WAS THERE TO TAKE HIM OUT

BEFORE HE BLASTED HIS WAY

THROUGH THE WHOLE STATION.

BACK ME UP.

BACK ME UP.

- Jack: FREEZE!

- ( men yelling )

PUT THE RECORDER DOWN.

HE'S DESTROYING STATE'S

EVIDENCE.

- FOR CHRISSAKE, TAKE HIM OUT.

- NO, HE'S A FUCKING MOLE.

HE'S ON BUDDHA'S PAYROLL.

PUT IT DOWN, PHIL.

PUT THE TAPE RECORDER

DOWN, MAN.

PUT IT DOWN.

I'LL PUT MY WEAPON DOWN.

PUT IT DOWN.

PUT IT DOWN, PHIL!

PUT IT DOWN.

( people chattering )

( siren wailing )

( police radio chatter )

( camera shutters clicking )

GET THAT CAR

OUT OF THE WAY.

GET OUT OF HERE.

COME ON.

OH MY GOD.

EXCUSE ME.

I'M SALLY CLAIRE WITH

THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

- IS HE GONNA BE OKAY?

- HE'S SHOT UP

PRETTY BADLY.

JACK, IT'S SALLY.

PHIL DIDN'T MAKE IT.

AND I HEARD THE TAPE.

YOU WERE RIGHT

TO TRUST ALMA.

- GO AHEAD.

- Man #1: WATCH IT.

- Man #2: GOT HIM.

- Man #1: LET'S GO.

( siren wailing )

( rustling )

( Alma's voice )

"JACK,

IF YOU'RE

READING THIS,

I'M NOT AROUND

ANYMORE.

LIKE I SAID,

YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED

MY DAD.

HERE'S SOMETHING HE LEFT ME

A LONG TIME AGO.

I WANTED YOU

TO HAVE IT.

THE BOOKS SHOW

A TRAIL OF NUMBERS

THAT WILL LEAD YOU

TO THE BOSSES

IN NEW YORK

AND KANSAS CITY.

MAYBE IT'LL HELP.

MAKE SURE YOU GO, JACK,

FOR THE BOTH OF US.

LOVE,

MARIAN."
