I'M GOING TO TIE YOU TO
A CHAIR AND MAKE YOU SIT

WHILE I EAT THE WHOLE SWEET,
GOOEY MESS MYSELF.

CARLA?

THE ULTIMATE SIN

AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--

COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM

BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.

FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS

( humming )

WHO'S THERE?



MORNING.

YOU HUNGRY?

A BIT PECKISH.

WHAT YOU GOT IN THERE?

GOT SOME EGG.

GOT SOME... ONION.

A LITTLE ORTEGA CHILI.

LORD-A-MIGHTY.

PULL UP A ROCK.

THERE WE GO.

LOOKY HERE.

I HAD ME A CUP LIKE THIS ONCE.

RAILROAD BILLY STOLE IT.

RAILROAD BILLY?

YEAH. SQUINTY-EYED,
RAIL-RIDING, JUNKYARD DOG.

CUT YOUR THROAT

AND WATCH YOU BLEED.

WELL, IF YOU EVER SEE HIM AGAIN,
YOU CAN STEAL IT BACK.

OH, BILLY'S A SHE

AND I AIN'T NO THIEF.

MMM! OOH, SON. IF MY WIFE COULD
COOK LIKE THIS, I'D OF KEPT HER.

THANKS.

SO, UH...

WHAT'S YOUR STORY, SIR?

"SIR," IS IT?

WELL, NOW, I AIN'T ONE
OF YOUR NEW-BREED HOMELESS.

I AM THE GENUINE ARTICLE.

I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD
SINCE ROOSEVELT WAS PRESIDENT.

NO KIDDING.

GOD'S HONEST TRUTH.

I RESIDE UP CANYON
IN A MOST EXCELLENT

DOUBLE-THICK REFRIGERATOR BOX.

I THINK IT'S PART

OF AMANA'S ON-GOING
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY.

( chuckling )

( phone ringing )

NO WORRIES.

IT'S ONE OF THEM

NEW-FANGLED
CORDLESS JOBS, SEE.

LOOK AT THAT.

GOOD MORNING, BOBBY.

YOU BUSY?

WELL, AS A MATTER
OF FACT, I AM.

SEE, I HAVE

COMPANY FOR BREAKFAST.

WELL, CUT IT SHORT--
THIS IS IMPORTANT.

SO IS THIS.

MORE IMPORTANT
THAN LISA ST. JOHN?

WELL, ENJOY, MY FRIEND.

I GOT TO GO.

NOW, THAT'S A SHAME AND A PITY.

FOR YOU.

HERE WE GO.

I HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE
NERVOUS, CARLA.

YOU ALWAYS ACT
SO CHIPPER.

Reno:
YOU KNOW, I GAVE
UP MY BREAKFAST

TO RUSH OVER HERE.

UNCLE VINCE.

WELL, WELL,
THE WANDERING BOY RETURNS.

HEY, CARLA.

THIS IS SO COOL.

WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?

DID YOU GET MY LETTERS?
ARE YOU STAYING?

WHOA, GIRL. DOWN.

JUST NOW, YES

AND MAYBE.

YOU CERTAINLY
HAVE GROWN UP.

I'LL HAVE
TO HANG AROUND

TO KEEP THE
BOYS IN LINE.

OH, YEAH. RIGHT.

SHE BEEN BEHAVING?

MMM...

I GOT A SURPRISE
FOR YOU.

UH... GO STAND OVER THERE.

OKAY.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

OKAY.

OPEN.

LISA.

TA-DA.

UNBELIEVABLE.

THE DOCTOR SAYS SIX MORE
MONTHS AND THEN WE CAN HAVE

A CHAIR-BURNING PARTY.

HE ALSO SAID
IF YOU OVERDO IT

YOU COULD SET YOURSELF BACK
A WHOLE YEAR'S WORK.

OKAY.

W... WELL,
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

COME AROUND MORE OFTEN,
YOU MIGHT LEARN

THESE THINGS.

THANKS FOR
COMING SO QUICK.

HEY, YOU'RE
MY ONLY NIECE.

DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME
ABOUT THE BREAK-IN?

ASK CARLA. SHE'S THE ONE
WHO GOT ALL PARANOID.

SO, WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN BOBBY CALLED?

WELL, I WAS COOKING BREAKFAST
IN ESCONDITO CANYON.

THAT'S SO COOL.

HOW DO YOU PAY FOR THIS

RIDE-AROUND-THE-
COUNTRY LIFESTYLE?

DID YOU WIN THE
LOTTO OR SOMETHING?

I WISH.

NO. SEE, UM...

I'M A BOUNTY HUNTER, LISA.

GET REAL, UNCLE VINCE.

HEY, YOU ASKED.

YOU RIDE AROUND
CATCHING BAD GUYS

AND THEN
TURN THEM IN FOR MONEY?

BASICALLY.

HOW CAN YOU AND MY DAD

HAVE COME FROM THE SAME FAMILY

AND HAVE TURNED OUT
SO DIFFERENTLY?

WE WEREN'T
THAT DIFFERENT REALLY.

YEAH, RIGHT.

A BOUNTY HUNTER

AND AN INSURANCE SALESMAN.

SO, HOW YOU DOING NOW?

WITHOUT YOUR DAD?

MOST OF THE TIME I'M OKAY.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER TIMES?

I COULD KILL HIM
FOR DYING ON ME.

WELL, I WOULDN'T REALLY
CALL IT A BURGLARY

'CAUSE NOTHING WAS TAKEN.

BUT A BREAK-IN
NONETHELESS, HUH?

YEAH, EXCEPT
NOTHING WAS BROKEN.

IT'S LIKE I TOLD BOBBY
ON THE PHONE.

WELL, HE DIDN'T GIVE ME
ANY DETAILS, YOU KNOW?

I HUNG UP.

I FOUND IT WAS YOU,
I CAME RUNNING.

OH, COULDN'T WAIT
TO SEE ME AGAIN, HUH?

YOU GOT IT.

HEY,
I JUST FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS.

YOU GUYS SAID IF ANYTHING
EVEN SMELLED FUNNY

I SHOULD BURN UP THE WIRES.

YOU DID PERFECT.

BUT BREAK-INS AREN'T FUNNY.

SO? SPILL.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

WHEN MICHAEL
LEFT ME AND BOBBY

IN CHARGE OF LISA'S CARE

WE HIRED YOU.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY
HER UNCLE, ARE YOU?

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER--

NOT TO ME, ANYWAY.

LISA.

THE GIRL'S SMART,
TOO SMART SOMETIMES.

I JUST KEEP TELLING HER,
"HEY, I'M JUST THE NANNY.

I NEVER EVEN MET YOUR DAD."

IF I TOLD YOU MORE,
YOU COULDN'T SAY
THAT, COULD YOU?

( doorbell ringing )

WHO ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?

EXCUSE ME?

HEY, I COME HERE LIKE
ALMOST EVERY DAY.

YOU'RE A WALKING
TATTOO PARLOR

RIDING THAT LAWN MOWER

AND YOU EXPECT ME TO
TELL YOU WHO I AM?

I'M VINCE.

LIKE, LISA'S UNCLE VINCE?

LIKE, EXACTLY.

ALL RIGHT!

SHE TALKS ABOUT YOU
ALL THE TIME.

I'M KENNY.

KENNY DeWITT.

HER BOYFRIEND.

HER BOYFRIEND?

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

NO.

WELL, IS IT THE HAIR?

NOPE. YOU GOT
WEIRD HAIR.

EARRINGS?

NO, YOU GOT ONE TOO.

TRY THE ATTITUDE.

KENNY, MY MAN.

CARLA, BABY.
WHAT'S UP?

LISA'S WAITING FOR YOU.

WE'LL TALK LATER.

WOW. YOU PROMISE?

I DON'T THINK
HE LIKES ME.

SO? HOW'S LISA?

SHE'S GREAT.
DOING JUST FINE.

MATTER OF FACT, I THINK

I'LL HANG OUT A WHILE,
CATCH UP ON OLD TIMES.

REALLY?

YEAH.

THAT BAD, HUH?

IT WAS A PRO BREAK-IN,
NOT A MARK.

YOU GO ON.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

I'M NOT GOING. I'M HER UNCLE.

YOU'RE NOT!

I FEEL LIKE HER UNCLE.

I FEEL LIKE I'M YOUR UNCLE

AND I ORDER YOU
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

ST. JOHN WAS A PROFESSIONAL
HIT MAN, ONE OF THE BEST.

WHICH IS WHY I'M PROTECTING
HIS ORPHAN DAUGHTER

WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH HOW HE MADE A LIVING.

BUT MICHAEL ST. JOHN LEAVES
A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

WHAT IF IT'S A CLIENT

OR WORSE-- SOMEONE

WANTING REVENGE
FOR ONE OF HIS VICTIMS?

YOU WANT WORSE?

TRY DUTCHY BOY DIXON
AND HIS MERRY BAND OF FEDS.

ST. JOHN USED
TO DO WORK FOR HIM.

AS THE INTENDED VICTIM,
I'LL BE CAREFUL.

FORGET ABOUT BEING CAREFUL.

BE GONE,
BE LONG GONE,
TO KANSAS CITY.

WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING AT?

NOTHING. LOOK--

I'M JUST TRYING
TO BE A GOOD UNCLE.

A GOOD UNCLE IS A LIVE UNCLE,
SO YOU TAKE OFF.

LET ME DO THE DIRTY WORK.

OKAY?
OKAY.

PROMISE, MAKE ME A PROMISE.

I SAID OKAY, OKAY?

HEY.

WHY'D YOU COME BACK?

BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING
REAL PREDICTABLE, PAL.

OKAY, CHEY, VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

IS J-8-6-9-7-B-L-K-4-3-9-1.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE
WHAT THEY GOT IN HERE.

AH, BUTLER SOUND,
TRINITY VIDEO

PARATIQUE CELLULAR SYSTEM
AT 32-4.

REAL HIGH-TECH
SURVEILLANCE STUFF.

UH-HUH. SO THE BREAK-IN
WASN'T A BURGLARY.

HE WAS IN THERE
PLANTING STUFF.

EXACTLY.

LET'S TRY AGAIN--
WHO'S BANKROLLING YOU?

THE SALVATION ARMY.

THESE ARE REAL
SIMPLE QUESTIONS, PAL.

I'M GOING TO TRY IT
ONE MORE TIME.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME
AND WHO YOU WORKING FOR?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

ALL RIGHT, YOU
STAY WITH IT, CHEY.

VIN NUMBER
AND LICENSE PLATE NUMBER

BOTH BOGUS.

COMMENTS?
EXPLANATIONS?

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL
DO THIS THE HARD WAY.

I'M GOING TO TAKE HIM
BACK TO THE OFFICE.

YOU SWEEP THAT HOUSE
CLEAN OF BUGS.

HE'S ONLY GOT NODES
FOR TWO.

ONCE YOU'VE FOUND THEM,
YOU'RE OUT OF HERE.

ARE WE CLEAR ON THAT?

PERFECTLY.

YOU PROMISE?

OR MY NAME AIN'T
VINCE BLACK.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, "BUGS"?

YOU CAN SEE
I KEEP A CLEAN HOUSE.

NO, NOT THOSE KINDS
OF BUGS, CARLA.

THESE KINDS OF BUGS.

WHOA!

WHO PUT THAT THERE?

A... MUSIC LOVER?

MUSIC LOVER, MY...

LOOK, LISA'S FATHER WAS IN
A VERY DANGEROUS BUSINESS.

HE PROBABLY MADE
A LOT OF ENEMIES.

I THOUGHT THE MAN WAS IN

LIFE INSURANCE.

WELL, HE WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR A LOT OF CLAIMS.

HE WAS A SPY, RIGHT?

WHAT WAS HE, F.B.I.?

C.I.A.?

K.G.B.?

NOW, HE KEPT A
LITTLE BLACK BOOK
IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

DID YOU EVER SEE IT?

DID LISA EVER
MENTION IT?

NO. LOOK, I'VE BEEN
A GOOD GIRL.

KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT.

BUT THAT GIRL IS LIKE
A DAUGHTER TO ME.

IS SHE IN DANGER?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO PLAN
ON A LITTLE VACATION.

WHERE'S LISA?

WITH KENNY.

OH, GREAT.

GIVE THE KID A BREAK.

I BET YOU WERE NO PRIZE
WHEN YOU WERE 15.

YOU GIVE ME A BREAK.

I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL

WITH A KID
LIKE KENNY BEFORE.

THAT'S EASY. JUST TREAT HIM
LIKE ANYONE ELSE.

EXCEPT HE HAS

NO SENSE, A SHORT TEMPER
AND A SMART MOUTH.

UNDER ALL THAT FLASH,
HE REALLY IS A GOOD KID

AND HE REALLY DOES CARE

ABOUT LISA.

LET'S GO.

ON THAT HOG YOU RIDE?

I'D RATHER FACE
WHOEVER PLANTED THE BUGS.

I DON'T THINK SO.

Bobby:
SO TELL ME, HOW DID YOU
BECOME SUCH A TOUGH GUY?

DID YOU TAKE COURSES?

HOW ABOUT ADVANCED
LOCKJAW, HMM?

YOU KNOW THIS MACANUDO'S

REALLY GOING TO HURT
ONCE IT TOUCHES YOUR FACE.

YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE GUTS
FOR THE REAL WORK.

I START THINKING
ABOUT WOUNDED KNEE

AND THE TRAIL OF TEARS,
AND I START TO GET

A JAG ON FOR
BLONDIES LIKE YOU.

NOW, I'M GOING TO ASK
YOU ONE LAST TIME.

WHO'S BANKROLLING YOU
TO SPY ON THE ST. JOHN HOUSE?

LOOK, I WAS A TUNNEL RAT
AT CU CHI.

AFTER I WAS CAPTURED
BY CHARLIE

AND TORTURED FOR NINE DAYS,
I WAS RESCUED.

NAME, RANK, SERIAL NUMBER--

THAT'S ALL THEY GOT.

YOU GOT NINE DAYS, COCHISE?

YOU ALL RIGHT, JACK?

NEVER BETTER,
MR. SNIDER.

OH, YEAH, I FORGOT

YOU LIVE FOR MOMENTS
LIKE THESE, DON'T YOU?

YOU KNOW ME?

GOLD CARD OR GREEN?

RIGHT ANSWER.

PROBABLY SAVED YOUR LIFE.

ALTHOUGH, IN A FEW MINUTES
YOU MIGHT WISH

YOU WERE DEAD.

NICE OFFICE.

COME ON, JACK.

Snider:
DOES HE KNOW WHY WE WERE THERE?

NO WAY.

HOW DID YOU
TRACK ME DOWN HERE?

I ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE
ON THE NEW HELP.

DOES HE KNOW
ABOUT THE BOOK?

NOT FROM ME.

RELAX, I DIDN'T
TELL HIM A THING.

WELL, YOU SEE,
I'M NOT RELAXED

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE
GIVING FIVE-FIGURE SUMS

TO SCARECROWS
WHO GET CAUGHT

BY SMALL-TIME
BOUNTY HUNTERS.

IT WAS A FLUKE.

THE GUY HAD HELP.

LOOK, IT'S PERSONAL NOW.

THAT INJUN INSULTED ME.

I'LL FINISH THE JOB
NO CHARGE.

OH, YOU'LL FINISH
IT ALL RIGHT

BUT YOU'LL
DO IT MY WAY.

AND DO SOMETHING
ABOUT YOUR HAIR.

THE ONLY THING
THEY HAD

WAS PINEAPPLE
AND GREEN CHILI.

PERFECT.

PERFECT?

BARF-O-RAMA.

SPOKEN LIKE
A TRUE NEW YORKER.

WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

YOU KNOW, THEY INVENTED
PIZZA BACK EAST

AND WE PERFECTED IT OUT HERE.

I'M SUPPOSED TO EAT THIS
AND THEN GO ON THAT?

WHAT?

NOTHING.

OH, GOOD, GOOD.

KEEP IT ALL INSIDE.

RECIPE FOR
A TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

OKAY, IT'S JUST

I USED TO HAVE THIS
ARGUMENT WITH MY DAD.

LIKE 10,000 TIMES.

YOU KNOW, LISE

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH
YOU MUST HAVE HURT.

MAYBE I COULD
KILL MY OLD MAN.

THEN I COULD
REALLY IDENTIFY.

HEY, KIDS.

OH, BOY, IT'S UNCLE FABIO.

KENNY!

MIND IF
WE JOIN YOU?

NOT AT ALL.
YEAH, WE DO.

OKAY, OKAY, BUT IF
YOU GUYS GET BORED

HEY, DON'T HANG AROUND
ON OUR ACCOUNT.

WE'LL CALL YOU WHEN WE
RUN OUT OF BEER AND DRUGS.

WHAT DO YOU
GOT THERE?

MMM, PINEAPPLE PEPPER,
MY FAVORITE.

SOMEHOW I KNEW THIS.

I'M TRYING TO BE NICE.

UH, SO, ARE YOU GUYS
PLANNING ON STAYING A WHILE?

ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING
OF TAKING YOU

AND CARLA FOR A LITTLE TRIP,
MAYBE THE BEACH

DISNEYLAND?

IF I SHAKE HANDS WITH THE MOUSE.

HOW ABOUT YOU JUST CHILL?

UNCLE VINCE,
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

I'D RATHER TALK ABOUT IT
WHEN WE'RE HOME.

ANYTHING YOU CAN SAY TO ME,
YOU CAN SAY IN FRONT OF KENNY.

I'D STILL RATHER
TALK TO YOU ALONE.

WHO DO YOU
THINK YOU ARE,
HER FATHER?

YOU KNOW, IF YOU CALL YOURSELF
FAMILY, YOU'RE FULL OF IT.

FAMILY'S NOT
SOME JERK
WHO RIDES IN

ON THE BREEZE
AND THEN SPLITS THE NEXT DAY.

FAMILIES ARE PEOPLE
WHO HANG WITH YOU EVERY DAY

AND KEEP YOU GOING.

KENNY...

KENNY

WAIT.

KENNY,
JUST COME BACK.

WELCOME TO PARENTHOOD.

I'M GOING TO GO GET HER.

NO, LET HER BE.

COME ON,
TAKE A WALK WITH ME.

COME ON.

Reno:
LOOK, I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
HER GUARDIAN.

JUST WHAT IS IT
YOU'RE GUARDING LISA FROM?

BIG, BAD KENNY?

EXACTLY.
NOW, THAT KID IS...

THAT KID IS A KID,
PURE AND SIMPLE

AND HE'S BEEN
MIGHTY NICE FOR LISA.

NICE FOR WHAT?

GIVING HER
SWITCHBLADE LESSONS?

HEY, NO OFFENSE,
BUT YOU WEREN'T THERE

TO WATCH HER GO IN THE TANK
AFTER HER DADDY DIED.

IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH
FOR IT TO REALLY SINK IN.

WELL, I WANTED
TO BE THERE,
BUT I COULDN'T.

YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S OKAY.

SHE HAD ME AND KENNY.

( sighing )

HE MADE HER LAUGH
AGAIN, VINCE.

NOW, LOOK,
LISA IS NOT EXACTLY

YOUR SOCIAL BUTTERFLY TYPE.

BUT KENNY ACCEPTED HER
RIGHT FROM THE GIT-GO
JUST THE WAY SHE IS.

WELL, I GUESS I CAN'T
ARGUE WITH THAT.

WELL, YOU COULD...
BUT YOU BETTER NOT

'CAUSE YOUR FANCY
KUNG PAO CRAP

AIN'T GOING TO WORK
ON THIS GIRL.

( laughing )

I'LL GO INSIDE
AND START PACKING.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE WE'RE GOING YET.

WILL YOU GIVE ME
A BREAK?

I'M TRYING TO LEAVE
YOU TWO ALONE.

LOOK, I'M SORRY I TREATED
KENNY SO HARSHLY.

THAT'S OKAY.

YOU TWO ARE A LOT ALIKE.

SO?

SO...

THAT BREAK-IN LAST
WEEKEND WAS REAL.

SOMEBODY WAS SPYING
ON YOU AND CARLA.

WHY WOULD ANYBODY..?

( gunshot )

( Carla screaming )

ROLL UP THE WINDOWS
AND LOCK YOUR DOOR.

VINCE...

( Carla whimpering )

DROP IT.

NO, YOU DROP IT,
THEN YOU GIVE ME THAT BOOK

AND NOBODY
GETS HURT.

DROP IT!

CARLA...

I'M OKAY. I'M OKAY.

Lisa:
SHE IS NOT OKAY!

AND NEITHER AM I!

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU
TO LOCK YOURSELF IN.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE.

WHY WON'T ANYBODY TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?

OW.

CARLA, ARE YOU OKAY?

WELL, I BEEN BETTER.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WE CAME BACK FROM
THE AMUSEMENT PARK

AND RAN INTO
THE CLEANING CREW.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU?

I BEEN PARTYING

WITH THE TASMANIAN
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

DO YOU MIND IF I BORROW HIM
FOR A MINUTE?

YEAH, AND DON'T BOTHER
TO RETURN HIM.

OW.

WHERE'S LISA?

UPSTAIRS, WAITING
FOR AN EXPLANATION.

ANYTHING NEW?

OUR GUY'S NAME
IS JACK VIRGIN.

HOW APPROPRIATE.

HE ALSO WORKS
FOR A GENTLEMAN

BY THE NAME OF NICKY
"THE FISHERMAN" SNIDER.

AS IN "SLEEPS
WITH THE FISHES"?

NO, AS IN
FISHERMAN'S WHARF.

HE CONTROLS HALF
THE LONGSHOREMAN

BETWEEN SAN FRANCISCO
TO SYDNEY.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I THINK I SAW A SNIDER

IN MICHAEL ST. JOHN'S
LITTLE BLACK BOOK.

HE'S ABOUT TO GO UNDER
A RICO GRAND JURY INDICTMENT.

IF MICHAEL WAS HIRED TO KILL
SOMEONE, IT'D BE IN THERE.

YEAH.

HOW MUCH DOES SHE KNOW?

TOO MUCH, I'M AFRAID.

SHE'S STARTING TO
FILL IN THE BLANKS.

BOBBY, YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW TOUGH IT IS.

YOU THINK WRESTLING BOUNTIES
IS DIFFICULT?

TRY GOING A COUPLE ROUNDS
WITH PUNKY BREWSTER UP THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TELL HER?

I DON'T KNOW. I HOPED
YOU'D HAVE A SUGGESTION.

SIT DOWN. LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

HE WAS A WORLD-CLASS HIT MAN.

HE KILLED
ALMOST 40 PEOPLE...

BOBBY.

YEAH.

LIKE YOU SAID...
SHE'S YOUR NIECE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I CAME TO
APOLOGIZE

TO UNCLE WINCE.

AND TELL YOU I WAS SORRY.

LISE...

WHAT'S WRONG?

WHAT'S NOT WRONG?

WE SURPRISED
ANOTHER BURGLAR.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I MISSED
THE WHOLE THING.

AND NOBODY WILL TELL ME
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.

MY DAD.
YOUR DAD.

IT'S GOT TO BE.

SOMEBODY'S AFTER
SOMETHING HERE

AND I THINK I KNOW
WHAT IT IS.

WHAT?

WELL, MY DAD LEFT

BARELY ANY PERSONAL STUFF.

I HAVE, LIKE, A FEW
PICTURES OF US TOGETHER

AND ONE OTHER THING.

WHAT IS IT?

DO YOU SEE IT?

Kenny:
OH, MAJOR.

WHAT'S IN HERE?

I SAID I DON'T KNOW.

I COULD NEVER
GET IT OPEN.

WELL, YOU CAME
TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

WHAT WAS
YOUR DAD'S BIRTHDAY?

JUNE 16.

0-6...

1-6.

TA-DA.

WAY TO GO, DAVID COPPERFIELD.

OKAY, OKAY.

WHAT WAS
HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?

LIKE I KNOW?

WHAT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?

MAY FIRST.

REMEMBER?

UH... RIGHT.

RIGHT, MAY DAY.

( latch clicking )

DUDE.

WHAT'S THIS?

THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL?

NO.

( knocking )

UH... JUST
A MINUTE!

SEE YA. BYE.

Reno:
LISA, YOU OKAY?

OKAY. YOU CAN COME IN.

CAN WE TALK?

SURE.

NOT SUCH A GOOD
IDEA TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK.

I KNOW YOU THINK I OWE
YOU AN EXPLANATION.

YOU KNOW I DO.

WELL,
YOU'RE RIGHT

AND I'M NOT TRYING
TO BLOW YOU OFF, OKAY?

BUT YOU JUST GOT TO GIVE ME
A LITTLE MORE TIME HERE.

THAT VACATION WE TALKED ABOUT--

YOU AND I ARE GOING ON IT ALONE.

WHAT ABOUT CARLA?

BOBBY'S STAYING
HERE TO WATCH CARLA.

IF THAT GUY COMES BACK,
SHE'S GOT TO BE ABLE TO I.D. HIM

SO WE CAN SEND HIM TO JAIL.

BUT YOU SAID...

NO "BUTS,"
LISA, OKAY?

JUST BEAR WITH ME A BIT LONGER.

OKAY?

PACK LIGHT.
WE'RE GOING ON THE BIKE.

WE ARE?

YEP.

AND IN A FEW SHORT HOURS

YOU'LL KNOW EVERYTHING.

YOU ACTUALLY GET TO DO
THIS EVERY NIGHT?

HMM. YEAH, I GET TO.

I MEAN, THIS IS SO COOL.

MAYBE I'LL BECOME
A BOUNTY HUNTER.

WELL, IT HAS ITS MOMENTS

BUT I DO THINK THE WORLD
WOULD BE A LOT BETTER OFF

IF YOU JUST STAY
WITH THE PIANO.

WELL?

OKAY.

( owl hooting )

( sighs )

LISA...

YOUR FATHER WAS A...

FRIEND OF MINE.

HE WAS YOUR STEP-BROTHER.

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I'M NOT REALLY YOUR UNCLE.

YEAH, I KNOW.

YOU WERE ADOPTED.

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE EITHER.

YOU SEE, I JUST...

MET YOUR FATHER A FEW DAYS

BEFORE I MET YOU.

BUT HE STARTED
TALKING ABOUT YOU

MONTHS BEFORE.

LET ME FINISH.

MY NAME ISN'T VINCE.

IT'S RENO.

RENO?

YEAH.

RENO RAINES

AND I GO BY VINCE BLACK

BECAUSE I'M WANTED
BY THE LAW.

IS THIS SOME
KIND OF A JOKE?

I WISH IT WAS,
BELIEVE ME.

I WAS CONVICTED OF KILLING
A MAN, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT.

THAT'S A RELIEF.

THAT'S WHY I'M
NOT AROUND MUCH.

BECAUSE THE POLICE ARE
OUT LOOKING FOR YOU.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE HARRISON
FORD IN THAT MOVIE.

IN A NUTSHELL.

LOOK, I KNOW
THIS IS HARD...

NO, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE.

YOUR NOT VISITING WAS HARD.

ALL THOSE SNEAKY
NON-ANSWERS

ABOUT DADDY-- THOSE WERE HARD

BUT THIS IS JUST PLAIN LYING.

NO, IT ISN'T.

COME ON, UNCLE VINCE.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT MY DAD

SO YOU MAKE UP SOME CRAZY STORY
ABOUT YOURSELF?

I WANTED TO TELL YOU...

WAS MY DAD A CRIMINAL?

YEAH.

BUT HE HAD
A CONSCIENCE.

WHAT HE DID, HE DID TO PEOPLE

WHO WERE A LOT WORSE
THAN HE WAS.

MY DAD WAS A KILLER, WASN'T HE?

IS THIS WHAT EVERYBODY'S

LOOKING FOR?

SOME OF IT'S IN CODE, I THINK

BUT THERE'S CLIPPINGS
IN THE BACK.

THEY'RE OBITUARIES.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

DADDY HID IT IN A METAL CASE

WITH A REALLY NASTY-LOOKING GUN.

LISA...

NOT NOW.

PLEASE, DON'T SHUT ME OUT.

I SAID NOT NOW.

( coyote howling )

YOU DON'T LOOK
TOO HAPPY.

I ALMOST HAD
IT, BUT...

NO "BUTS."

YOU FAILED.

BUT THAT'S OKAY.

I CHECKED OUT THIS SIXKILLER.

HE'S GOT QUITE A REPUTATION.

MY MISTAKE. I SHOULD
HAVE GIVEN YOU BACKUP.

IF IT WERE JUST HIM ALONE,
I COULD HAVE HANDLED IT

BUT HE HAD SOME
LONG-HAIRED

FREAKIN' NINJA ON HIS SIDE.

HEY, COME ON.
I UNDERSTAND.

THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT
YOU SOMETHING.

( silenced gunshots )

LISA, YOU
BETTER WAKE UP.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO EAT THIS COLD.

LISA?

LISA?!

LISA!

( phone ringing )

HEY, KENNY?

YEAH.

DID I WAKE YOU?

NO, UH, I WAS UP.

CAN I COME ON OVER?

I HAVE SOME REALLY BIG PROBLEMS
I NEED TO SORT OUT.

GEE, UH...

Kenny, you are right now

OFFICIALLY THE ONLY PERSON
IN THIS WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD

THAT I CAN TRUST.

YEAH, SURE.

YOU NEED ME TO COME AND GET YOU?

No.

NO, I CAN'T HANG AROUND.

I'LL GET THERE ON MY OWN.

THANKS, KENNY.

YEAH.

THERE.

YOU BUTTHEADS HAPPY?

DELIRIOUS.

( ringing )

ST. JOHN RESIDENCE.

BOBBY, LISA'S GONE.

WHAT?

I TOLD HER THE TRUTH

AND SHE TOOK IT PRETTY HARD.

HOW FAR CAN SHE GET?

PRETTY FAR, I'M AFRAID.

I THINK SHE MADE IT TO THE ROAD
AND THUMBED A RIDE.

That's real bad.
Chey just called.

GUESS WHO ENDED UP ON
THE MORGUE SLAB TWO HOURS AGO?

Jack Virgin.

AW, MAN.

Where does Kenny live?

( doorbell ringing )

HI.

HI, LISE. COME IN.

TAKE A LOAD OFF.

MY PARENTS ARE AT WORK.

WHAT IS THIS?

WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, LISA,
ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

LOOK, LISE,
I'M SORRY.

THEY WERE GOING
TO BLOW ME AWAY.

WHINE, WHINE, WHINE, WHINE.

WHAT IS WRONG
WITH YOU KIDS TODAY, HUH?

COME ON,
GET IN THERE.

COME ON, MOVE IT.

NOW THEN,
YOU KNOW

WHAT YOUR FATHER DID
FOR A LIVING?

HE WAS A KILLER.

WHOA!

VERY GOOD.

AND I BELIEVE HE KEPT RECORDS...
IN A BOOK?

IF HE DID HAVE A BOOK,
I NEVER SAW IT.

I DID FIND A GUN

ONE TIME

BUT NOT A BOOK.

YOU KNOW, I COULD USE
SOMEONE LIKE YOU

IN MY ORGANIZATION, LISA.

GOOD LIARS ARE HARD TO COME BY.

I'M NOT LYING.

SURE YOU ARE.

START BATTING THOSE EYELIDS.

ALMOST HAD ME GOING,
BUT, UH...

OLD BEAVIS HERE GAVE YOU AWAY.

WHAT DID I DO?

DON'T TWITCH YOUR FOOT

WHEN YOU'RE
UNDER STRESS.

HEY!

YOU REALLY LIKE THIS
LITTLE FELLA, HUH?

DO YOU, UH, REALLY LIKE HIM?

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

Lisa:
PLEASE, MISTER,
JUST LET HIM GO.

HE DOESN'T KNOW
ANYTHING.

( Kenny groaning )

( grunts )

ABOUT TIME, BIG GUY.

UNCLE VINCE,
I'M SO SORRY.

YOU GUYS OKAY?

SHE'S FINE.

I'M FINE.
WE'RE ALL FINE.

LET'S CUT
TO THE CHASE.

WHERE'S THE BOOK?

WHAT BOOK?

DON'T DRAG ME THROUGH
THAT AGAIN, ALL RIGHT?

HER DADDY KEPT
A BOOK, RIGHT?

SHE GAVE IT TO YOU.
YOU BROUGHT IT HERE
TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.

WELL, I WAS HOPING TO SAVE
THEIR LIVES AND KEEP THE BOOK.

NICE TRY, BUT WELCOME
TO THE REAL WORLD, ALL RIGHT?

WE'VE ALL GOT
OUR OWN AGENDA.

IDEALLY, I'D LIKE
TO TAKE THE BOOK

GIVE YOU ALL
AN INSTANT CASE

OF AMNESIA

AND WALK AWAY.

HEY!

ALL RIGHT, PONCHO

GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT.

HERE'S THE DEAL.

YOU GIVE ME THE KIDS

AND I'LL TELL YOU
WHERE I STASHED THE BOOK.

YOU GIVE ME THE BOOK

AND I'LL KILL YOU ALL.

COME ON.

WE'RE NEGOTIATING.

I'VE GOT TO GIVE MYSELF
ROOM TO MANEUVER.

( rock music blasting )

NOT TODAY, MATE.

GET UP. COME ON.

HEY. THAT'S MY UNCLE.

( doorbell ringing )

HEY, KENNY.

HOW'S IT HANGING, VINCE?
LISA HERE?

I MEAN, UH...

HOW DO YOU DO, MR. BLACK, SIR?

MAY I INQUIRE
IF LISA'S RECEIVING VISITORS?

LIVING ROOM.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I THOUGHT
YOU DIDN'T LIKE ME ANYMORE.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE
PUT YOU IN THAT SPOT

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

A GUN IN YOUR EAR
DOES THINGS TO YOU.

YEAH.

( Reno clears throat )

HEY, KENNY, WHY DON'T
YOU GO IN THE KITCHEN

AND MAKE SOME
SANDWICHES?

IT WOULD BE

MY DISTINCT PLEASURE

EXULTED MR. UNCLE, SIR.

COOL.

ADMIT IT-- YOU LIKE HIM.

WELL, I SAW SOMETHING
IN HIM YESTERDAY.

OH, COME ON,
YOU'RE GOING TO MISS HIM.

NOT AS MUCH AS I'M
GOING TO MISS YOU.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT MAD THAT
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOUR STORY.

I HOPE YOU'RE
NOT MAD

THAT I TOOK THIS LONG
GETTING TO THE TRUTH.

AND IF YOU NEED TO
KNOW ANYTHING ELSE

YOU ASK AWAY.

YOU KNOW,
MY DAD REALLY LOVED ME.

YEAH, HE REALLY DID.

BOTTOM LINE--

THERE'S NOTHING MORE
I REALLY NEED TO KNOW.

BUT IF PEOPLE SEE HIS BOOK

WILL BAD THINGS COME OUT
ABOUT HIM?

THAT COULD HAPPEN, LISA.

I WON'T LIE TO YOU.

BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE
LIKE NICK SNIDER

COULD GO TO JAIL.

YOU AND BOBBY
JUST TRY TO KEEP

DADDY'S NAME OUT OF IT.

WE'LL DO WHAT WE CAN.

I LOVE YOU...

( laughing ):
UNCLE RENO.
