Crime Story (1986–1988): Season 2, Episode 17 - Brothel Wars - full transcript
Pauli's girlfriend, who's a hooker, ends up being the latest casualty in a violent war between competing brothels.
This is a joke.
You're teasing me, right?
You're giving this
to me?
See anybody else
in here?
No.
It's so- it must've
cost you a fortune.
Nah, I got a deal on it. They
practically gave it to me.
Sue ellen,
put it on.
It's an emerald.
It's so beautiful.
It matches
your beautiful eyes.
How long ago did lindstrom
bust outta leavenworth?
10 days ago.
- He's a real heavyweight, huh?
Lindstrom?
He's just a big slob
That likes to knock over
convenience stores
And then blow
the dough on whores.
He hasn't killed more
than 8 or 10 people.
You're so different
from the others.
You treat me
like I'm a real person.
What are you,
a ghost?
no, I'm a whore.
That wasn't your fault.
Your hooking days
are over.
From now on,
you're with me.
Hi, there.
You boys look
like you're ready
For some
female appreciation.
Ready, willing,
and able
To rock and roll
all night!
Oh, that's expensive,
But group rates
are available.
- Mikey?
- Knock it off.
You seen
this guy around?
he's been around,
behind,
Upside-down,
inside-out.
He's been everywhere
with everybody.
where can I find him?
Where do we find him?
In the silver trailer.
Let's go.
Uh, sorry, ladies,
if I disturbed you.
Meet you in vegas
tomorrow night?
- Can't wait.
- Me, neither.
It's gonna be-
- Torello.
- Who?
- I gotta go.
- Pauli, is everything okay?
Everything's great. I'll meet
you in vegas tomorrow night.
The golden lady, huh?
I'll have the red carpet
out for you.
Big, huh?
About the size
of a small redwood.
Disposition?
Like a pit bull
after being stung by a bee.
You go first.
John lindstrom,
you're under arrest.
- Don't move.
- I'm not coming back!
as I walk along
I wonder
what went wrong
with our lives
lives
that were so strong
and as I
still walk on
I think
of the things
we've done together
while our hearts
were young
I'm a-walking
in the rain
tears are falling
and I feel the pain
watching
all the players go by
some live and others die
and I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah
wonder
why
why, why, why, why, why
I don't walk away
and I wonder
what makes me stay
runaway
run, run, run, run,
runaway
run, run, run...
You miserable bastards,
why don't you finish me off?
I ain't goin'
back to the joint!
Okay by me.
Mike?
I'd like to give you
one of these-
Is anybody else
after you, besides us?
I don't know nothin'!
Take it easy, folks.
Everything's under control.
Fire department's on its way,
so stick around.
Lurleen, we had those fire extinguishers.
Boys! Leon barsky.
Stick around.
As soon as the fire's out
and everything's normal,
Everybody gets a free ride,
one time only.
Come on, get away
from there!
What's that, partner?
Leon barsky, from west
chicago avenue, right?
It's nate.
Nate grossman.
Hey!
How are ya?
Hey, mike, it's leon.
We grew up together.
You remember
leon barsky.
Yeah, he sold me
a '54 buick.
Beautiful piece
of automotive machinery.
Yeah, if I would have squeezed it,
it would've come out pure lemonade.
Sorry to hear about that,
but I got other problems.
Looks like you're as popular in
nevada as you were in chicago.
I'm too popular here. That's
my problem. Everybody loves me.
Your friends have
a funny way of showing it.
- My friends did not do this. Try ed saville.
- Who's that?
Rancho chaparral, the top
cathouse in the county.
Now they're trying to burn me
out because they can't compete.
- Are you guys still cops?
- Forget it.
Forget what?
I got rights.
This place is legal
in this county.
Oh, no, my friend,
we are here
And we are federal
to pinch an escaped felon
For interstate flight,
and that's it.
You got any problems, you
tell the locals. Let's go.
The local cops are probably the
ones that burned this place down!
And where are
the fire trucks?
Well, looks like you got
a spot of trouble here.
Spot of trouble?
That's all you know about it?
You and your thugs
know who did this,
And you're protecting 'em.
And I'm sick of it!
Back off, you big clown. We're
with the department of justice.
- What the hell are you doing in my county?
- Your county?
Unless nevada seceded from the
United States, it's my country.
Why are you mixin'
in here?
- He's a friend of mine.
- Saville torched my place.
Yeah, you probably
did it yourself
For the insurance,
for the publicity.
Where are
the fire trucks, bo?
If I see those boys stopped
for coffee and donuts
I'll hurry 'em
on out here.
Nate, mike,
you gotta help me.
It's not our case. It's
a local beef. Let's go.
Mike, what if leon's got
a legitimate beef?
I mean, that sheriff's
a gorilla.
- I think he's right-
- shut your mouth.
Look, nate, it's a
rinky-dink whorehouse war.
We are not getting involved.
It is not our case.
Get in the car.
We're leavin'.
Sorry, leon.
Where's danny
and the famous ann?
Danny just called.
They're on their way.
A weekend in tahoe
with a librarian.
Poor guy.
She probably spent
the whole time
In one of those
flannel things
That covers up everything
but her ankles,
Readin' old books,
wearin' funny glasses.
danny'll get cabin fever
listening to cello music.
- She's probably a nice girl.
- Nice? Come on, mike.
Since when do you take a broad to
a cabin in the woods to be nice?
I'm sure she's got a
great personality, but-
Here they are.
He's got on a tie.
Hi, guys.
Sorry we're late.
Guys, I'd like you
to meet ann bradford.
the way you do
the things you do
oh, baby...
You are joey. Hi. Danny didn't
tell me you were so cute.
He's not my type.
Walter, it's a real
pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure
is all mine.
And this tough-looking
guy must be mike.
Danny never has a kind word
to say about you.
I feel exactly
the same way about him.
Where's nathan?
He had to take a rain check.
Came down with the flu.
He's probably at home
curled up on the couch
With a warm glass
of milk or something.
Sorry to hear that.
So, how did leon barsky
turn up in nevada?
Burned too many bridges,
saw too many deals go down.
Oh.
Decided to come out
to the great american west.
Clean air, straight talk.
Pleasant surroundings.
How'd you fall into these
particular surroundings?
This business is a lot
like sellin' cars.
Sex appeal
for a price.
But now I know why duke curtain
sold this place so cheap.
Hey, nate, you wanna take
a break or what?
Half an hour?
Oh-
So saville,
He leaned on curtain
before you got here?
That's what I hear.
Hassled the girls,
Poisoned the water.
Same thing he's doin' to me.
You can't go
to the law.
Saville's been paying off
the sheriff for years.
- You got proof of that?
- If I had proof, would I be talkin' to you?
I, uh-
I got no
jurisdiction, leon.
Then who keeps
the local cops honest?
How does a man
get justice?
Law says I got a right
to run this place.
You guys gotta
help me out.
well, I'll talk to mike.
But I don't think
it's gonna do any good.
I'll be in touch.
Say, mister...
Are you goin' to vegas?
- That's right.
- Give me a lift?
Sure thing.
Hop in.
You, uh, done
for the night?
I'm done
forever.
Tomorrow night, everything
has gotta be majestical.
Everything
super-deluxe.
Champagne,
caviar
And make sure you use
the new tablecloths.
I want
the band playin'.
I want waiters
wherever I look.
So when I snap my fingers,
I got service.
And when it's time
to be alone,
I don't wanna
see nobody.
This girl is
very special to me.
So you make it very special
for her, right?
Certainly, mr. Taglia.
Hey.
Hey, wait a minute.
Don't be stingy
with them after-dinner mints!
So, you from
around here?
No, I'm from
salt lake city, originally.
salt lake.
That's a long way from
vegas. It's a tough town.
I got a friend there now.
That's gonna make
all the difference.
I'm goin' early to surprise him.
He gave me this ring.
That's some rock!
it's an emerald.
He said it set off
my green eyes.
It's a beauty.
Speaking of "set off,"
You around
for that fire before?
Sure.
Anything you can tell me
about it?
Anything you saw?
Everybody knows
it was ed saville.
Oh, yeah?
You know him?
I used to work
for him.
Him and barsky are as different
as two men can be.
Saville don't treat you like a
person. He treats you like property.
Can you believe this?
Stopping me for speeding in the
middle of a deserted highway?
Oh, no.
This is awful.
Don't worry about it.
This is some
crazy county.
It takes all of you
to write me a ticket?
Just shut up and show
me your license.
Back off, pal.
I got a federal badge.
I'm here on
official business.
Kick him.
Come on
and get it!
nathan grossman,
You stand charged with
several violations
Of the nevada
penal code:
Driving while
under the influence,
Resisting arrest
and aggravated assault.
These are all serious
charges. How do you plead?
Not guilty, your honor.
- What took you so long?
- Shut up.
- Are you mr. Grossman's attorney?
- No, your honor, I'm not.
However, there is an assistant
u.S. Attorney on his way.
My name is
lt. Michael torello,
I'm detective grossman's
superior.
We're with the department of
justice organized crime strike force.
I can vouch for detective
grossman's character
And will guarantee
any further court appearances.
What the hell is going
on in my courtroom?
I'm sorry for the interruption,
but under the circumstances-
Not you.
You, mr. Ferry.
Remember luke 17?
"obstacles must
inevitably come,
But alas for the person
who causes them."
What the hell is
an officer of the law
Doing up on these chicken-slop
charges in my courtroom?!
Excuse me, your honor, the complaint
was signed by three deputies.
- The deputies are lying.
- These men swore under oath.
That's enough.
If you have charges to make,
lieutenant,
You should know
The proper way
to bring them.
As for you, mr. Ferry,
I don't care
If matthew, mark and luke
signed this complaint.
This is a law
and order county
And we treat our law enforcement colleagues
With respect.
I hereby dismiss
all charges
Against detective grossman.
- Thank you, your honor.
- Thank you, your honor.
But detective,
if you ever
Dishonor
your badge again
In my county,
Then "'vengeance
is mine,
I will repay,'
said the lord."
That's quite a judge.
We could use him in vegas.
Shut up.
Hey mike-
Shut up
and get in the car.
Mike, I'm sorry.
All I did was get
out of the car
To show him my license.
I told you,
they jumped me!
The sheriff's department
out here is totally corrupt.
Didn't I tell you that
I didn't want to get involved?
Didn't I give you an order
not to get involved?
Now we look
like goofs, nate.
All of us look like goofs
because of you.
What about the girl?
What happened to her?
Dispatch deputy 2-4, over.
What girl?
The hooker. She'll tell
you what went on down there.
No, I don't wanna hear
about nothin'.
I don't want to hear
about no hooker,
I don't want to hear about
no girl. Nothin' else!
This is 2-4, requesting
ambulance at junction
Of highway 51
and arroyo lane.
Victim is caucasian
female, early 20s,
Blond hair,
green eyes, over.
Mike, green eyes.
She had green eyes.
It could be her!
Uh, what's the e.T.A.
On that ambulance? Over.
Yeah, that's her.
Sue ellen christopher.
- What happened?
- How'd she die?
Look, you guys aren't
even supposed to be in here-
- I asked you a question.
- Suicide.
She threw herself under
the wheels of a county vehicle.
That's crazy.
This girl was happy.
She was gettin' out. She was
on her way to meet someone.
- Take it easy, nate.
- What are you people doin' here?
What happened to sue ellen
after your goons grabbed her?
I understand she was
despondent, took her own life.
I bet a lot of people take their
own lives while in your custody.
Or get killed resisting arrest
or burn down their own businesses.
I don't need a bunch of big-city feds
to tell me how to enforce the law.
You get
the hell outta here.
Your county is rotten
and you're a big slob.
Worse than that,
you're a big dummy.
By killin' that girl, you're
gonna have us in your ugly face.
Now get
out of my way.
Get this thing
outta here.
I wish I could tell you
more about her.
People in the life
don't talk about their past.
Not the truth at least.
Did you know she used to work
for saville at rancho chaparral?
No, but she wouldn't be the
first person to come over.
You think that's one reason your place
might've been hit and the girl killed?
- To scare people off from workin' here?
- Yeah, maybe.
What about her johns?
I mean, anybody regular?
Anybody special
Who could tell us
about her?
Leon, what we're looking for
is a way into the case.
Somethin' that we can take
into the u.S. Attorney's office.
Yeah, there was one guy.
Came out from vegas
all the time.
He'd stay the night.
Short, kinda stocky.
Flashy clothes.
I think he was
from chicago too.
He's from chicago-
Bagley? Magglia?
What are you doing standin'
around? Do somethin', huh?
Look at these flowers! They're
half dead! Get rid of 'em!
And this ice, it's melted.
Get a fresh one!
What are you doing here?
Your timing stinks!
I'm expecting somebody.
Sue ellen's
not coming, pauli.
No.
No. No!
No!
What happened?
She was murdered.
Who done it?
Tell me who done it!
- I'll take care of it myself!
- Listen to me, pauli.
For the first time in your life,
I'm gonna handle something for you.
It's important for us
to know what you know.
It was that bastard
saville.
Practically kidnapped 'em out
of utah in the first place.
Her and her girlfriend, rita.
He lied to 'em.
He told 'em they would
get jobs at casinos.
Like waitresses
or something.
Then what?
Then he locked 'em up
in that place, that ranch,
And told 'em they owed
all this travel money.
And the only way they could
pay it back was on their backs.
He forced her
into all that.
They stole
all their money.
She finally ran away
to barsky.
I was gettin' her
out of all that.
I was gettin' her
out of that life.
I've never lied
to you, pauli.
This guy violated a federal
crime, the mann act.
We're gonna
bury him for it.
Barsky ain't booking.
He's rebuilding.
What's it gonna take for that
hustler to get the message?
We'll send him the same one
we delivered to that fed.
Lay off the heavy stuff
for a while.
Fine.
Only, when
the time comes,
Ain't gonna send no one
around to reason with barsky.
I'm gonna do
that thing myself.
- Gloves, right? Have the gloves?
- Yes. Sweater?
- Yes. Sunglasses?
- Yes. Toothbrush?
Yes.
- You? Me?
- Yes. Yes.
- Log cabin.
- Moonlight.
- Yes.
- Soft music.
- Yes.
- Bedtime reading.
No.
- The vacation is over.
- Oh, no. No!
- We haven't left yet.
- I'm sorry, ann.
- Come here.
- I'll be right back, baby.
What?
- I want you to talk to a girl named rita.
- Rita?
Mike, can't you get one
of the other guys? Joey?
Danny, you're the only one
of us they haven't seen.
I need to put
a customer inside.
Inside?
Inside where?
So, my friend,
who do you love?
Well, a friend of mine
Told me about this pretty
little brunette, name of rita.
Said she was the sweetest
thing since watermelon.
Your friend didn't lie,
but she's with someone.
Well, uh...
We'll change
all that, right?
so glad you made it
you've got to
gimme some lovin'
gimme gimmie
some lovin'
gimme some lovin'...
Evening, boys.
Come on with me, honey.
Plenty of female loveliness
in the room, boys.
Knock yourself out.
Pauli taglia
told me about you.
You're best friends
with sue ellen?
- We go back-
- hey, that's our whore.
Better find something else
or get used to waiting.
Because right now,
she's with me.
Hey, bo,
you wanna wait?
Me neither.
you better take it easy
'cause the place is on fire
been a hard day and I
don't know what to do...
So why don't you bebop
on out of here, short stuff?
that's a big knife.
Yeah, and plenty sharp.
Looks like you're going
to be waiting, charlie.
Well, okay.
gimme gimme
some lovin'
gimme some lovin'
gimme gimmie
some lovin'
gimmie some lovin'
every day...
well, who are you?
And what's your beef?
Name's saville.
I own this place.
Tearing it up is a good way
to get yourself killed.
Only, I got a better idea.
Hello, mike?
- You see the girl?
- Well, yeah.
- Come on, how did it go?
It got
a little messy.
- What'd you get?
- I got a job.
You didn't drive 50 miles
back from las vegas
To thank me again,
did you, lieutenant?
No, your honor.
I came back because I think
we share a mutual problem.
What problem is that?
24 hours after
your county deputies
Took sue ellen christopher
away from detective grossman,
Who they beat
to a pulp,
She turns up dead-
a suicide victim
Without a note
and without motive.
I think it stinks.
Some would say
Life is cheap
for a girl like that.
She has the same rights,
your honor.
Your damn right she did!
Same rights as anyone else!
And I'm every damn bit
as mad as you!
That's why I've asked
the district attorney
To open a full-scale investigation
into the whole episode.
Thank you, and I'd like
your authorization
To place all suspected personnel
under electronic surveillance.
This county
Is over 15,000
square miles big.
But we've got
less than 10,000 people.
A lot of lonesome,
Ornery desert...
And exactly the same
kind of people.
People who like
their privacy.
People who like
to live their life
Without big brother
looking over their shoulder.
I feel the same way.
Always have.
I will not compound
Any crimes that may
have been committed
By authorizing
Even more heinous ones.
But, your honor,
I don't see what's so heinous
About bugging
a few phones.
This isn't chicago
or new york.
In bannon county,
we do things a lot simpler.
- Mary?
- Yes, sir?
Send bo in here.
Bo, the lieutenant here
is concerned
About the dead hooker
in the desert.
And so am I.
It reflects badly
on all of us.
So I'm tellin' you,
I want this mess cleaned up.
If any of your boys
were involved,
Or, god help you,
if you were involved,
If the good lord
don't take care of you,
I swear
I'll do it myself!
Now get the hell
outta here.
there is a house
in new orleans
they call
the rising sun
it's been the ruin...
You all right?
You gonna beat
on me, too?
- Why would I do that?
- You work here, don't you?
Nobody hired me
to beat up girls.
I'm a friend
of pauli's, remember?
Why do they hit you?
'cause I tried
to run away.
Oh, I hate it here.
They lied to me
about this place.
And every time
I try to go-
Saville, you bastard!
Where is he?!
- Where is he?!
- He's upstairs!
Where is he?!
Saville!
Get up!
Get outta here!
Who the hell
are you?
A friend of sue ellen.
They said
she committed suicide.
That's just like
you're gonna do.
Start cutting.
Cut!
Or I'm gonna start
blowin' pieces off ya.
Go ahead.
Pull the trigger.
no!
No! No!
No no no no!
We told you
to stay outta this!
We gave you our word.
I'm trusting you
not to blow my cover.
You've gotta trust us to get this
bastard and the scum he works for.
- Is he gone yet?
- Yeah. Who was that?
Some wacko.
Crawled out of the desert.
You do good work.
I guess I owe you one.
Pay up anytime.
This sheriff bo cray
is some piece of work:
Ex-l.A.P.D.
And ex-wilshire
vice bag man.
Got caught dirty.
Got dismissed from the force.
So, where does
he land after l.A.?
Way out in beautiful
bannon county.
Yeah, and a big six months
after he arrives
He gets elected sheriff
in a landslide.
- How did he manage that?
- Not on charisma.
Must of got in with
the right people real fast.
Yeah, but who?
Barsky has replaced
the damaged trailer.
He's planning some kind
of reopening ceremony.
We'd better send him
our final message.
Me and the boys
will take care of it.
No, I got
a better idea.
What would you do
for 10 grand?
Just about anything.
Anything at all.
Then it's payback time.
Get half up front.
Yeah, we'll
be ready for you.
Five grand.
Count it.
When I hear barsky's croaked,
there's another fin coming your way.
Another five grand?
You got the piece?
Clean, straight
from the armory.
Impossible to trace.
You can lose it in
the desert when you're done.
Tonight.
He buys it tonight.
You've done this
before, right?
Well, uh,
not exactly.
You see...
I'm a cop.
You're under arrest.
Open 'em up!
You bastard! Shut up! Come on.
Put cuffs
on this puke.
Here.
You get everything?
Every beautiful,
bloodthirsty word.
You're in big trouble. How
are you gonna squirm out of it?
Got to hell.
I'm telling you nothing!
Get the hell
outta here!
Take him into town fast.
Mike wants to see him.
- What about you?
- I'll catch up with you later.
Are you sure I won't have
to come back, ever?
I'm sure.
Come on.
Big, stupid ape.
You screw around with me? Put
a black mark against my name?
- Uh-oh, we better get outta
here. - I'm gonna make you sorry
- You ever laid eyes on me.
- I'm already sorry!
mike, come on.
- Get away from me and shut up!
- Too late now.
Brutality? You sign a complaint
against me for brutality?
You roach that likes
to shoot up teenagers?
What, you think
I'm stupid or helpless?
You busted out
of the joint three times!
You think anybody's
gonna question me
When I tell them I killed you
for tryin' to escape?!
- Mike, take it easy-
- get away from me!
You're all noise.
You're bluffing, torello!
You wanna hear noise,
tough guy, huh?
- What are you doing here?
- Mike, I'm sorry, we-
What the hell is wrong
with you? He saw everything.
- I didn't see nothing.
- Shut your mouth!
You know what to do.
Go on!
Listen, I'm telling you,
this ain't necessary.
I'll tell you anything
you want to know! Anything!
What the hell could a stronz
like you tell us?
Barsky, about settin'
him up, torchin' the place!
So what? With you gone, the case is closed.
The girls-
white slavery.
Please, I'll give you
the whole operation.
We got rita stashed.
We don't need your testimony.
- Gag him.
- Open wide.
Wait wait wait, mike.
Use this.
It's from the armory.
It can't be traced.
Take the gag out.
Cray- I've been
paying him off.
- Who'd take your word?
- I got books, records.
Please,
I can prove it.
Please, I swear
I'm telling the truth.
get him outta here.
I almost bit my tongue off
to keep from laughing.
You're gonna put a good
word in to the warden for me?
- I gave you my word, didn't I?
- Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah. Damn!
We got a problem.
Torello's got saville.
It's only
a matter of time.
"to everything
there is a season,
And a time to every purpose
under the heaven.
A time to be born
And a time to die."
Get saville's out here. He's got
a date with the u.S. Attorney.
Saville?
He's gone.
How did that happen?
Sorry, mike,
had to do it.
His lawyer showed up
with a writ of habeas corpus.
Let me see this.
Order to produce
the defendant,
Eighth circuit court,
signed by judge neville harmon.
You were right, the bible-quoting
judge is as dirty as sin.
Harmon is a kingmaker
in bannon county.
A crooked sheriff could never
get elected without his support.
The judge is running the whole
racket from his courtroom.
Yeah, but this writ is going to
be the mistake that buries him.
Where's barsky?
The sheriff came
for him a while ago.
Took him away in cuffs. They
said he killed ed saville.
What? What the hell
is that all about?
The judge, he didn't get
saville out of jail to save him.
He got him out
to kill him.
He'll frame barsky for it, get rid
of his problems at the same time.
- We have to get there first.
- Get where first, joey?
- Where's cray?
- He's not here.
We know that.
Unless you tell us where he takes
all those people who commit suicide,
You're not gonna
be around either.
Seems only right, finishing
this way, don't it?
A couple pimps blow each
other away at high noon.
Nobody really gives
a damn, do they?
Of course,
we'll get
A little more heroic
with the story.
How barsky drug
Poor, well-respected
ed saville out here
And gunned him down
in cold blood.
How we had to chase barsky down
through this rugged terrain
And how we had
to do our duty.
What the hell difference
does it make?
Still be plenty of whores
to go around in bannon county.
Do it.
- Somebody's coming!
- Go on, hold 'em off.
Get up, barsky.
I'm walkin' away, torello.
No, that'll
never happen.
I'll waste your friend
if you try to stop me.
I told you
you were a big dummy.
You picked the wrong guy
for a hostage.
What?
Saville's the guy we need
for a case against the judge.
- Barsky is expendable.
- You're bluffing.
- Walter?
- Yeah.
- Danny?
- Clear shot.
- Joey?
- Uh-huh.
When we got here, cray,
there were five of us.
Damn, nate, I didn't know
you were that good a shot.
To tell you
the truth, I'm not.
Nor will this court
go along
With the rising tide
of permissiveness
That is sweeping the rest
of the nation.
"ye have plowed
wickedness,
Ye have reaped
iniquity."
Therefore, I have
little choice
But to impose on you
The maximum penalty
the law allows.
I sentence you to-
Lieutenant, what do
you think you're doing?
- Bailiff!
- Yes, your honor!
I remind you, court is
in session, my court!
This is not your court or county
anymore. You're under arrest.
You impudent-
Save it,
your honor.
"and I will cause
The arrogancy
of the proud to cease,
And will lay low
The haughtiness
of the terrible."
Isaiah 13:11.
Oh, yeah? "your soul is going to jail."
Torello 19:6-3.
Let's go.
Is ann in tahoe
all by herself?
I hope so.
She makes friends easily.
Ah, come on, you two got
a great thing going.
One little deal like this
isn't gonna wreck it.
Nah, it's not that.
It's just the life.
Who can put up with it?
Where do you find 'em?
You're asking me
that question?
You got
the wrong guy, pal.
Hello, pauli. I've never
seen you here before.
I've never
been here before.
I don't go cop bars.
They're dumps.
Yeah, I guess
you're right.
I read where you made your
pinch out in the desert.
It was a judge,
a sheriff.
Made for some
pretty big headlines.
Don't forget saville.
I'll never
forget saville.
I'd like to buy
you a drink.
Will you join us?
Yeah.
Just this once.
But don't get
no ideas.
Angie.
sun ain't gonna shine
any more.
You're teasing me, right?
You're giving this
to me?
See anybody else
in here?
No.
It's so- it must've
cost you a fortune.
Nah, I got a deal on it. They
practically gave it to me.
Sue ellen,
put it on.
It's an emerald.
It's so beautiful.
It matches
your beautiful eyes.
How long ago did lindstrom
bust outta leavenworth?
10 days ago.
- He's a real heavyweight, huh?
Lindstrom?
He's just a big slob
That likes to knock over
convenience stores
And then blow
the dough on whores.
He hasn't killed more
than 8 or 10 people.
You're so different
from the others.
You treat me
like I'm a real person.
What are you,
a ghost?
no, I'm a whore.
That wasn't your fault.
Your hooking days
are over.
From now on,
you're with me.
Hi, there.
You boys look
like you're ready
For some
female appreciation.
Ready, willing,
and able
To rock and roll
all night!
Oh, that's expensive,
But group rates
are available.
- Mikey?
- Knock it off.
You seen
this guy around?
he's been around,
behind,
Upside-down,
inside-out.
He's been everywhere
with everybody.
where can I find him?
Where do we find him?
In the silver trailer.
Let's go.
Uh, sorry, ladies,
if I disturbed you.
Meet you in vegas
tomorrow night?
- Can't wait.
- Me, neither.
It's gonna be-
- Torello.
- Who?
- I gotta go.
- Pauli, is everything okay?
Everything's great. I'll meet
you in vegas tomorrow night.
The golden lady, huh?
I'll have the red carpet
out for you.
Big, huh?
About the size
of a small redwood.
Disposition?
Like a pit bull
after being stung by a bee.
You go first.
John lindstrom,
you're under arrest.
- Don't move.
- I'm not coming back!
as I walk along
I wonder
what went wrong
with our lives
lives
that were so strong
and as I
still walk on
I think
of the things
we've done together
while our hearts
were young
I'm a-walking
in the rain
tears are falling
and I feel the pain
watching
all the players go by
some live and others die
and I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah
wonder
why
why, why, why, why, why
I don't walk away
and I wonder
what makes me stay
runaway
run, run, run, run,
runaway
run, run, run...
You miserable bastards,
why don't you finish me off?
I ain't goin'
back to the joint!
Okay by me.
Mike?
I'd like to give you
one of these-
Is anybody else
after you, besides us?
I don't know nothin'!
Take it easy, folks.
Everything's under control.
Fire department's on its way,
so stick around.
Lurleen, we had those fire extinguishers.
Boys! Leon barsky.
Stick around.
As soon as the fire's out
and everything's normal,
Everybody gets a free ride,
one time only.
Come on, get away
from there!
What's that, partner?
Leon barsky, from west
chicago avenue, right?
It's nate.
Nate grossman.
Hey!
How are ya?
Hey, mike, it's leon.
We grew up together.
You remember
leon barsky.
Yeah, he sold me
a '54 buick.
Beautiful piece
of automotive machinery.
Yeah, if I would have squeezed it,
it would've come out pure lemonade.
Sorry to hear about that,
but I got other problems.
Looks like you're as popular in
nevada as you were in chicago.
I'm too popular here. That's
my problem. Everybody loves me.
Your friends have
a funny way of showing it.
- My friends did not do this. Try ed saville.
- Who's that?
Rancho chaparral, the top
cathouse in the county.
Now they're trying to burn me
out because they can't compete.
- Are you guys still cops?
- Forget it.
Forget what?
I got rights.
This place is legal
in this county.
Oh, no, my friend,
we are here
And we are federal
to pinch an escaped felon
For interstate flight,
and that's it.
You got any problems, you
tell the locals. Let's go.
The local cops are probably the
ones that burned this place down!
And where are
the fire trucks?
Well, looks like you got
a spot of trouble here.
Spot of trouble?
That's all you know about it?
You and your thugs
know who did this,
And you're protecting 'em.
And I'm sick of it!
Back off, you big clown. We're
with the department of justice.
- What the hell are you doing in my county?
- Your county?
Unless nevada seceded from the
United States, it's my country.
Why are you mixin'
in here?
- He's a friend of mine.
- Saville torched my place.
Yeah, you probably
did it yourself
For the insurance,
for the publicity.
Where are
the fire trucks, bo?
If I see those boys stopped
for coffee and donuts
I'll hurry 'em
on out here.
Nate, mike,
you gotta help me.
It's not our case. It's
a local beef. Let's go.
Mike, what if leon's got
a legitimate beef?
I mean, that sheriff's
a gorilla.
- I think he's right-
- shut your mouth.
Look, nate, it's a
rinky-dink whorehouse war.
We are not getting involved.
It is not our case.
Get in the car.
We're leavin'.
Sorry, leon.
Where's danny
and the famous ann?
Danny just called.
They're on their way.
A weekend in tahoe
with a librarian.
Poor guy.
She probably spent
the whole time
In one of those
flannel things
That covers up everything
but her ankles,
Readin' old books,
wearin' funny glasses.
danny'll get cabin fever
listening to cello music.
- She's probably a nice girl.
- Nice? Come on, mike.
Since when do you take a broad to
a cabin in the woods to be nice?
I'm sure she's got a
great personality, but-
Here they are.
He's got on a tie.
Hi, guys.
Sorry we're late.
Guys, I'd like you
to meet ann bradford.
the way you do
the things you do
oh, baby...
You are joey. Hi. Danny didn't
tell me you were so cute.
He's not my type.
Walter, it's a real
pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure
is all mine.
And this tough-looking
guy must be mike.
Danny never has a kind word
to say about you.
I feel exactly
the same way about him.
Where's nathan?
He had to take a rain check.
Came down with the flu.
He's probably at home
curled up on the couch
With a warm glass
of milk or something.
Sorry to hear that.
So, how did leon barsky
turn up in nevada?
Burned too many bridges,
saw too many deals go down.
Oh.
Decided to come out
to the great american west.
Clean air, straight talk.
Pleasant surroundings.
How'd you fall into these
particular surroundings?
This business is a lot
like sellin' cars.
Sex appeal
for a price.
But now I know why duke curtain
sold this place so cheap.
Hey, nate, you wanna take
a break or what?
Half an hour?
Oh-
So saville,
He leaned on curtain
before you got here?
That's what I hear.
Hassled the girls,
Poisoned the water.
Same thing he's doin' to me.
You can't go
to the law.
Saville's been paying off
the sheriff for years.
- You got proof of that?
- If I had proof, would I be talkin' to you?
I, uh-
I got no
jurisdiction, leon.
Then who keeps
the local cops honest?
How does a man
get justice?
Law says I got a right
to run this place.
You guys gotta
help me out.
well, I'll talk to mike.
But I don't think
it's gonna do any good.
I'll be in touch.
Say, mister...
Are you goin' to vegas?
- That's right.
- Give me a lift?
Sure thing.
Hop in.
You, uh, done
for the night?
I'm done
forever.
Tomorrow night, everything
has gotta be majestical.
Everything
super-deluxe.
Champagne,
caviar
And make sure you use
the new tablecloths.
I want
the band playin'.
I want waiters
wherever I look.
So when I snap my fingers,
I got service.
And when it's time
to be alone,
I don't wanna
see nobody.
This girl is
very special to me.
So you make it very special
for her, right?
Certainly, mr. Taglia.
Hey.
Hey, wait a minute.
Don't be stingy
with them after-dinner mints!
So, you from
around here?
No, I'm from
salt lake city, originally.
salt lake.
That's a long way from
vegas. It's a tough town.
I got a friend there now.
That's gonna make
all the difference.
I'm goin' early to surprise him.
He gave me this ring.
That's some rock!
it's an emerald.
He said it set off
my green eyes.
It's a beauty.
Speaking of "set off,"
You around
for that fire before?
Sure.
Anything you can tell me
about it?
Anything you saw?
Everybody knows
it was ed saville.
Oh, yeah?
You know him?
I used to work
for him.
Him and barsky are as different
as two men can be.
Saville don't treat you like a
person. He treats you like property.
Can you believe this?
Stopping me for speeding in the
middle of a deserted highway?
Oh, no.
This is awful.
Don't worry about it.
This is some
crazy county.
It takes all of you
to write me a ticket?
Just shut up and show
me your license.
Back off, pal.
I got a federal badge.
I'm here on
official business.
Kick him.
Come on
and get it!
nathan grossman,
You stand charged with
several violations
Of the nevada
penal code:
Driving while
under the influence,
Resisting arrest
and aggravated assault.
These are all serious
charges. How do you plead?
Not guilty, your honor.
- What took you so long?
- Shut up.
- Are you mr. Grossman's attorney?
- No, your honor, I'm not.
However, there is an assistant
u.S. Attorney on his way.
My name is
lt. Michael torello,
I'm detective grossman's
superior.
We're with the department of
justice organized crime strike force.
I can vouch for detective
grossman's character
And will guarantee
any further court appearances.
What the hell is going
on in my courtroom?
I'm sorry for the interruption,
but under the circumstances-
Not you.
You, mr. Ferry.
Remember luke 17?
"obstacles must
inevitably come,
But alas for the person
who causes them."
What the hell is
an officer of the law
Doing up on these chicken-slop
charges in my courtroom?!
Excuse me, your honor, the complaint
was signed by three deputies.
- The deputies are lying.
- These men swore under oath.
That's enough.
If you have charges to make,
lieutenant,
You should know
The proper way
to bring them.
As for you, mr. Ferry,
I don't care
If matthew, mark and luke
signed this complaint.
This is a law
and order county
And we treat our law enforcement colleagues
With respect.
I hereby dismiss
all charges
Against detective grossman.
- Thank you, your honor.
- Thank you, your honor.
But detective,
if you ever
Dishonor
your badge again
In my county,
Then "'vengeance
is mine,
I will repay,'
said the lord."
That's quite a judge.
We could use him in vegas.
Shut up.
Hey mike-
Shut up
and get in the car.
Mike, I'm sorry.
All I did was get
out of the car
To show him my license.
I told you,
they jumped me!
The sheriff's department
out here is totally corrupt.
Didn't I tell you that
I didn't want to get involved?
Didn't I give you an order
not to get involved?
Now we look
like goofs, nate.
All of us look like goofs
because of you.
What about the girl?
What happened to her?
Dispatch deputy 2-4, over.
What girl?
The hooker. She'll tell
you what went on down there.
No, I don't wanna hear
about nothin'.
I don't want to hear
about no hooker,
I don't want to hear about
no girl. Nothin' else!
This is 2-4, requesting
ambulance at junction
Of highway 51
and arroyo lane.
Victim is caucasian
female, early 20s,
Blond hair,
green eyes, over.
Mike, green eyes.
She had green eyes.
It could be her!
Uh, what's the e.T.A.
On that ambulance? Over.
Yeah, that's her.
Sue ellen christopher.
- What happened?
- How'd she die?
Look, you guys aren't
even supposed to be in here-
- I asked you a question.
- Suicide.
She threw herself under
the wheels of a county vehicle.
That's crazy.
This girl was happy.
She was gettin' out. She was
on her way to meet someone.
- Take it easy, nate.
- What are you people doin' here?
What happened to sue ellen
after your goons grabbed her?
I understand she was
despondent, took her own life.
I bet a lot of people take their
own lives while in your custody.
Or get killed resisting arrest
or burn down their own businesses.
I don't need a bunch of big-city feds
to tell me how to enforce the law.
You get
the hell outta here.
Your county is rotten
and you're a big slob.
Worse than that,
you're a big dummy.
By killin' that girl, you're
gonna have us in your ugly face.
Now get
out of my way.
Get this thing
outta here.
I wish I could tell you
more about her.
People in the life
don't talk about their past.
Not the truth at least.
Did you know she used to work
for saville at rancho chaparral?
No, but she wouldn't be the
first person to come over.
You think that's one reason your place
might've been hit and the girl killed?
- To scare people off from workin' here?
- Yeah, maybe.
What about her johns?
I mean, anybody regular?
Anybody special
Who could tell us
about her?
Leon, what we're looking for
is a way into the case.
Somethin' that we can take
into the u.S. Attorney's office.
Yeah, there was one guy.
Came out from vegas
all the time.
He'd stay the night.
Short, kinda stocky.
Flashy clothes.
I think he was
from chicago too.
He's from chicago-
Bagley? Magglia?
What are you doing standin'
around? Do somethin', huh?
Look at these flowers! They're
half dead! Get rid of 'em!
And this ice, it's melted.
Get a fresh one!
What are you doing here?
Your timing stinks!
I'm expecting somebody.
Sue ellen's
not coming, pauli.
No.
No. No!
No!
What happened?
She was murdered.
Who done it?
Tell me who done it!
- I'll take care of it myself!
- Listen to me, pauli.
For the first time in your life,
I'm gonna handle something for you.
It's important for us
to know what you know.
It was that bastard
saville.
Practically kidnapped 'em out
of utah in the first place.
Her and her girlfriend, rita.
He lied to 'em.
He told 'em they would
get jobs at casinos.
Like waitresses
or something.
Then what?
Then he locked 'em up
in that place, that ranch,
And told 'em they owed
all this travel money.
And the only way they could
pay it back was on their backs.
He forced her
into all that.
They stole
all their money.
She finally ran away
to barsky.
I was gettin' her
out of all that.
I was gettin' her
out of that life.
I've never lied
to you, pauli.
This guy violated a federal
crime, the mann act.
We're gonna
bury him for it.
Barsky ain't booking.
He's rebuilding.
What's it gonna take for that
hustler to get the message?
We'll send him the same one
we delivered to that fed.
Lay off the heavy stuff
for a while.
Fine.
Only, when
the time comes,
Ain't gonna send no one
around to reason with barsky.
I'm gonna do
that thing myself.
- Gloves, right? Have the gloves?
- Yes. Sweater?
- Yes. Sunglasses?
- Yes. Toothbrush?
Yes.
- You? Me?
- Yes. Yes.
- Log cabin.
- Moonlight.
- Yes.
- Soft music.
- Yes.
- Bedtime reading.
No.
- The vacation is over.
- Oh, no. No!
- We haven't left yet.
- I'm sorry, ann.
- Come here.
- I'll be right back, baby.
What?
- I want you to talk to a girl named rita.
- Rita?
Mike, can't you get one
of the other guys? Joey?
Danny, you're the only one
of us they haven't seen.
I need to put
a customer inside.
Inside?
Inside where?
So, my friend,
who do you love?
Well, a friend of mine
Told me about this pretty
little brunette, name of rita.
Said she was the sweetest
thing since watermelon.
Your friend didn't lie,
but she's with someone.
Well, uh...
We'll change
all that, right?
so glad you made it
you've got to
gimme some lovin'
gimme gimmie
some lovin'
gimme some lovin'...
Evening, boys.
Come on with me, honey.
Plenty of female loveliness
in the room, boys.
Knock yourself out.
Pauli taglia
told me about you.
You're best friends
with sue ellen?
- We go back-
- hey, that's our whore.
Better find something else
or get used to waiting.
Because right now,
she's with me.
Hey, bo,
you wanna wait?
Me neither.
you better take it easy
'cause the place is on fire
been a hard day and I
don't know what to do...
So why don't you bebop
on out of here, short stuff?
that's a big knife.
Yeah, and plenty sharp.
Looks like you're going
to be waiting, charlie.
Well, okay.
gimme gimme
some lovin'
gimme some lovin'
gimme gimmie
some lovin'
gimmie some lovin'
every day...
well, who are you?
And what's your beef?
Name's saville.
I own this place.
Tearing it up is a good way
to get yourself killed.
Only, I got a better idea.
Hello, mike?
- You see the girl?
- Well, yeah.
- Come on, how did it go?
It got
a little messy.
- What'd you get?
- I got a job.
You didn't drive 50 miles
back from las vegas
To thank me again,
did you, lieutenant?
No, your honor.
I came back because I think
we share a mutual problem.
What problem is that?
24 hours after
your county deputies
Took sue ellen christopher
away from detective grossman,
Who they beat
to a pulp,
She turns up dead-
a suicide victim
Without a note
and without motive.
I think it stinks.
Some would say
Life is cheap
for a girl like that.
She has the same rights,
your honor.
Your damn right she did!
Same rights as anyone else!
And I'm every damn bit
as mad as you!
That's why I've asked
the district attorney
To open a full-scale investigation
into the whole episode.
Thank you, and I'd like
your authorization
To place all suspected personnel
under electronic surveillance.
This county
Is over 15,000
square miles big.
But we've got
less than 10,000 people.
A lot of lonesome,
Ornery desert...
And exactly the same
kind of people.
People who like
their privacy.
People who like
to live their life
Without big brother
looking over their shoulder.
I feel the same way.
Always have.
I will not compound
Any crimes that may
have been committed
By authorizing
Even more heinous ones.
But, your honor,
I don't see what's so heinous
About bugging
a few phones.
This isn't chicago
or new york.
In bannon county,
we do things a lot simpler.
- Mary?
- Yes, sir?
Send bo in here.
Bo, the lieutenant here
is concerned
About the dead hooker
in the desert.
And so am I.
It reflects badly
on all of us.
So I'm tellin' you,
I want this mess cleaned up.
If any of your boys
were involved,
Or, god help you,
if you were involved,
If the good lord
don't take care of you,
I swear
I'll do it myself!
Now get the hell
outta here.
there is a house
in new orleans
they call
the rising sun
it's been the ruin...
You all right?
You gonna beat
on me, too?
- Why would I do that?
- You work here, don't you?
Nobody hired me
to beat up girls.
I'm a friend
of pauli's, remember?
Why do they hit you?
'cause I tried
to run away.
Oh, I hate it here.
They lied to me
about this place.
And every time
I try to go-
Saville, you bastard!
Where is he?!
- Where is he?!
- He's upstairs!
Where is he?!
Saville!
Get up!
Get outta here!
Who the hell
are you?
A friend of sue ellen.
They said
she committed suicide.
That's just like
you're gonna do.
Start cutting.
Cut!
Or I'm gonna start
blowin' pieces off ya.
Go ahead.
Pull the trigger.
no!
No! No!
No no no no!
We told you
to stay outta this!
We gave you our word.
I'm trusting you
not to blow my cover.
You've gotta trust us to get this
bastard and the scum he works for.
- Is he gone yet?
- Yeah. Who was that?
Some wacko.
Crawled out of the desert.
You do good work.
I guess I owe you one.
Pay up anytime.
This sheriff bo cray
is some piece of work:
Ex-l.A.P.D.
And ex-wilshire
vice bag man.
Got caught dirty.
Got dismissed from the force.
So, where does
he land after l.A.?
Way out in beautiful
bannon county.
Yeah, and a big six months
after he arrives
He gets elected sheriff
in a landslide.
- How did he manage that?
- Not on charisma.
Must of got in with
the right people real fast.
Yeah, but who?
Barsky has replaced
the damaged trailer.
He's planning some kind
of reopening ceremony.
We'd better send him
our final message.
Me and the boys
will take care of it.
No, I got
a better idea.
What would you do
for 10 grand?
Just about anything.
Anything at all.
Then it's payback time.
Get half up front.
Yeah, we'll
be ready for you.
Five grand.
Count it.
When I hear barsky's croaked,
there's another fin coming your way.
Another five grand?
You got the piece?
Clean, straight
from the armory.
Impossible to trace.
You can lose it in
the desert when you're done.
Tonight.
He buys it tonight.
You've done this
before, right?
Well, uh,
not exactly.
You see...
I'm a cop.
You're under arrest.
Open 'em up!
You bastard! Shut up! Come on.
Put cuffs
on this puke.
Here.
You get everything?
Every beautiful,
bloodthirsty word.
You're in big trouble. How
are you gonna squirm out of it?
Got to hell.
I'm telling you nothing!
Get the hell
outta here!
Take him into town fast.
Mike wants to see him.
- What about you?
- I'll catch up with you later.
Are you sure I won't have
to come back, ever?
I'm sure.
Come on.
Big, stupid ape.
You screw around with me? Put
a black mark against my name?
- Uh-oh, we better get outta
here. - I'm gonna make you sorry
- You ever laid eyes on me.
- I'm already sorry!
mike, come on.
- Get away from me and shut up!
- Too late now.
Brutality? You sign a complaint
against me for brutality?
You roach that likes
to shoot up teenagers?
What, you think
I'm stupid or helpless?
You busted out
of the joint three times!
You think anybody's
gonna question me
When I tell them I killed you
for tryin' to escape?!
- Mike, take it easy-
- get away from me!
You're all noise.
You're bluffing, torello!
You wanna hear noise,
tough guy, huh?
- What are you doing here?
- Mike, I'm sorry, we-
What the hell is wrong
with you? He saw everything.
- I didn't see nothing.
- Shut your mouth!
You know what to do.
Go on!
Listen, I'm telling you,
this ain't necessary.
I'll tell you anything
you want to know! Anything!
What the hell could a stronz
like you tell us?
Barsky, about settin'
him up, torchin' the place!
So what? With you gone, the case is closed.
The girls-
white slavery.
Please, I'll give you
the whole operation.
We got rita stashed.
We don't need your testimony.
- Gag him.
- Open wide.
Wait wait wait, mike.
Use this.
It's from the armory.
It can't be traced.
Take the gag out.
Cray- I've been
paying him off.
- Who'd take your word?
- I got books, records.
Please,
I can prove it.
Please, I swear
I'm telling the truth.
get him outta here.
I almost bit my tongue off
to keep from laughing.
You're gonna put a good
word in to the warden for me?
- I gave you my word, didn't I?
- Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah. Damn!
We got a problem.
Torello's got saville.
It's only
a matter of time.
"to everything
there is a season,
And a time to every purpose
under the heaven.
A time to be born
And a time to die."
Get saville's out here. He's got
a date with the u.S. Attorney.
Saville?
He's gone.
How did that happen?
Sorry, mike,
had to do it.
His lawyer showed up
with a writ of habeas corpus.
Let me see this.
Order to produce
the defendant,
Eighth circuit court,
signed by judge neville harmon.
You were right, the bible-quoting
judge is as dirty as sin.
Harmon is a kingmaker
in bannon county.
A crooked sheriff could never
get elected without his support.
The judge is running the whole
racket from his courtroom.
Yeah, but this writ is going to
be the mistake that buries him.
Where's barsky?
The sheriff came
for him a while ago.
Took him away in cuffs. They
said he killed ed saville.
What? What the hell
is that all about?
The judge, he didn't get
saville out of jail to save him.
He got him out
to kill him.
He'll frame barsky for it, get rid
of his problems at the same time.
- We have to get there first.
- Get where first, joey?
- Where's cray?
- He's not here.
We know that.
Unless you tell us where he takes
all those people who commit suicide,
You're not gonna
be around either.
Seems only right, finishing
this way, don't it?
A couple pimps blow each
other away at high noon.
Nobody really gives
a damn, do they?
Of course,
we'll get
A little more heroic
with the story.
How barsky drug
Poor, well-respected
ed saville out here
And gunned him down
in cold blood.
How we had to chase barsky down
through this rugged terrain
And how we had
to do our duty.
What the hell difference
does it make?
Still be plenty of whores
to go around in bannon county.
Do it.
- Somebody's coming!
- Go on, hold 'em off.
Get up, barsky.
I'm walkin' away, torello.
No, that'll
never happen.
I'll waste your friend
if you try to stop me.
I told you
you were a big dummy.
You picked the wrong guy
for a hostage.
What?
Saville's the guy we need
for a case against the judge.
- Barsky is expendable.
- You're bluffing.
- Walter?
- Yeah.
- Danny?
- Clear shot.
- Joey?
- Uh-huh.
When we got here, cray,
there were five of us.
Damn, nate, I didn't know
you were that good a shot.
To tell you
the truth, I'm not.
Nor will this court
go along
With the rising tide
of permissiveness
That is sweeping the rest
of the nation.
"ye have plowed
wickedness,
Ye have reaped
iniquity."
Therefore, I have
little choice
But to impose on you
The maximum penalty
the law allows.
I sentence you to-
Lieutenant, what do
you think you're doing?
- Bailiff!
- Yes, your honor!
I remind you, court is
in session, my court!
This is not your court or county
anymore. You're under arrest.
You impudent-
Save it,
your honor.
"and I will cause
The arrogancy
of the proud to cease,
And will lay low
The haughtiness
of the terrible."
Isaiah 13:11.
Oh, yeah? "your soul is going to jail."
Torello 19:6-3.
Let's go.
Is ann in tahoe
all by herself?
I hope so.
She makes friends easily.
Ah, come on, you two got
a great thing going.
One little deal like this
isn't gonna wreck it.
Nah, it's not that.
It's just the life.
Who can put up with it?
Where do you find 'em?
You're asking me
that question?
You got
the wrong guy, pal.
Hello, pauli. I've never
seen you here before.
I've never
been here before.
I don't go cop bars.
They're dumps.
Yeah, I guess
you're right.
I read where you made your
pinch out in the desert.
It was a judge,
a sheriff.
Made for some
pretty big headlines.
Don't forget saville.
I'll never
forget saville.
I'd like to buy
you a drink.
Will you join us?
Yeah.
Just this once.
But don't get
no ideas.
Angie.
sun ain't gonna shine
any more.
