Vinnie's assignment to check out a contract killer leads him into a huge global contraband syndicate -- an operation that far exceeds the scope of the Steelgrave family -- overlorded by brother and sister Mel and Susan Profitt.

- [Narrator]
Tonight on Wise Guy.

- How bout getting
up off your butt.

I got a job for you.

- What the hell
is a Roger Lacoco.

- The guys either
a contract killer

or the angle of death,

cause everywhere he goes the
coroner's working overtime.

- You ever kill a friend
pleading for his life?

- No why would I kill a friend.

- Why is not a question
my employer likes to hear.

- Roger seems to think
you're somebody we could use.



- I only go where I'm invited.

- Maybe you need a little test.

- There aint no 1658 Ocean Road.

- I'm surprised.

- Oh it's a joke.

I get it.

Well I love it when
one of my guys develops

a sense of humor.

- Yeah well I'm on leave Frank.

- Well the RD thinks you've been

wearing your head under
your arm long enough.

He says to me, Frank,
he says what are

you running out
there, a field program

or an acapella boys choir.



He says get Terrenova
on his feet,

get him on the old horse.

Get that boy to ride Frank.

So here I am Vinny.

Great pair of Brogans
washed with seawater,

my temper frage, but
I gotta tell yah,

you don't wanna ride
that's fine with me.

I got a guy in Philadelphia
love to be put in your slot.

- I'm touched.

- I got a job for you.

A small one.

- What the hell
is a Roger Lacoco.

- That's a good question.

Some kind of
independent operator.

Intelligence says he
works for himself.

- Independent operator?

We're organized crime let the
local police take this guy.

- What local, the guys
all over the place.

Miami, Jacksonville,
Atlanta couple times

in the windy city,
New York, Vegas,

the guys either a contract
killer or the angel of death,

cause everywhere he goes the
coroner is working overtime.

- Contract killer?

- Intelligence doesn't
think he's on anybody's

particular payroll
'cause all the stiffs

are in different lines of work.

- Well what am I
supposed to do Frank?

Hang out in a busy
airport with his picture

and hope he strolls
through with a violin case?

- Well now that's a sharp idea.

No Vinny I want you on
the four o'Clock plane

to Stockton, California
where you're gonna

check into the
Delta Marina Hotel.

We got a contact there
named Kenneth Sasusha,

a local fed, he made the
guy and phoned it in.

- So you're giving
me a jump ball

that nobody else wants to take?

- Yeah well, old Frank has
a sene of humor too Vinny.

Come on, let's ride
Vinny, let's ride.

- Oh damn my watch is broken,

it says seven 25.

- Oh it's almost eight 40.

- Oh, my watch it's broke.

It says seven 25.

- Are you Kenneht Sasusha?

- No.

- How you doing Kenny,
Vince Terrenova.

If that thing with the watch
is a password, I'm sorry.

I didn't get briefed
on the new codes,

I just got off vacation, okay.

- Okay listen now, I
say my watch is broken

I say 7:25 and you're
supposed to add

the number the day of the month.

So it's the 30th so
you're supposed to say,

it's 7:55 you see though
then I could talk to you.

- Oh it's 7:55.

- Hi there, Kenneth Sasusha.

Now come on, this
guy is at the bar

of the Delta Marina Hotel.

He usually finds a lady
then disappears by nine.

- Better hurry if
it's already 7:55.

- Well let's go.

- So that's him huh?

- Yeah real Masic Indie.

The RD says all these
guys put on their pants

one leg at a time.

It's the only thought
that keeps me going.

- What's your RD's name?

- Clayton Bartholomew,
a real jerkola.

Give him the left lane
if you see him coming.

So uh how are you
gonna set him up?

- He doesn't belong here,

he looks bored he's
hitting on semi pros.

Think he needs a buddy, I'm
gonna apply for the job.

- How you gonna do that?

- All the guys he's
supposedly scagged

are hit from short range
with porcelain caps

so I assume that he
likes specialty weaponry.

We'll start with a
mutual interest and
we'll go from there.

I'll do a show for him
tomorrow, see what happens.

- Ooh you're going
in so decisive.

- Yeah well it's a going trait

like being great bowlers.

- (foreign language)

- Show time

- Yep.

- You, bloody Mary.

- Mr. Terrenova.

- No get lost.

- I'm over here.

- Sorry,

hi I'm Mr. Katasa, KNG I'm
terribly sorry I'm late sir,

traffic was horrendous and
I had to open the store

before coming

- Yeah let's cut the
chit chat shall we.

You got the brochures or what?

- Do you think it's alright
to do this here sir?

I mean it would be much better
if we were at the store.

- Why?

I know what I want.

Now let's get going
what do you got?

- Alright.

From what you talked about,

I think a good choice
would be the SNW airway

bodyguard model, 38 caliber,
14 and a half ounces,

click sight adjustable
for windage,

227 dollars in blue steel.

- I don't want a 14
ounce gun, I'm not gonna

be carrying it
around in a purse.

- Well you mentioned something
you wanted to conceal sir,

and of course you
must have a permit.

- I told you what I wanted.

I want a K38 combat master piece

with a three inch
barrel or a 357 combat

magnum in stainless steel
with a two and a half pitch.

Now if you got that fine.

Now what is this,
what the hell is this?

- Well I thought perhaps
for an automatic,

'cause you have a
wonderful collection up.

Here's the sterling
automatic model 3008.

- What am I gonna do
with an automatic?

- Well it does have a
nine shot capability sir.

- Yeah well if you
can't get them with

the first three
shots, you shouldn't

ought to have it
in the first place.

- Well we don't have the
two models you mentioned

in stocks, but I
could call Bakersfeel,

- Yeah I'll get it
somewhere else, forget it.

Go on get out of here.

- Well I'm sorry sir
that we couldn't be-

- Yeah, yeah go on
beat it will yah.

- Yes sir, buh bye.

- You know your guns.

- Yeah you believe this guy
tried to sell me a hookers gun.

- You ever try a
hecklering cospie 13

with a squeeze
cocking mechanism?

- Yeah it's a good piece,

it's got what 13
in the clip right?

- Right. I got one upstairs,

it doesn't jam.

Good automatic.

- Man this is a
nothing town aint it.

Everything's polyester
and plaid sucks.

- It bothers you huh?

You like more
sophisticated action.

- Yeah well you know I like when

the girls don't spit their
olive pits in the ash tray.

This is the best hangout
around here or what?

- You're looking at it buckweed.

That bar over there is
about as good as it gets.

- Wow, me stuck
here til Tuesday.

- Where you from?

- Don't usually
say, what about you,

you live around here?

- I live in drop dead Kansas.

- Guess we're a couple of
pretty closed up guys aren't we.

- Yup.

What do you do for
a living buckweed?

- I jay walk and
throw rocks at cars.

- You don't have to tell me,

it's just that you're
sitting around here

trying to buy artillery,
kinda got my interest up.

- What do you do?

- I sell peace and tranquility
at reasonable rates

to deserving clientele.

- You hit em over the head
and push em in the river.

Or you just dig a hole
and plant them there

with a bag of lye?

- You're kind of
a smart mouth guy.

Maybe I don't like
you so much anymore,

maybe you ought to
get out of my sight

before I get mad
and damage yourself.

- Oh I get it, we gotta
play this by your rules.

You get to glom all the
pretty married ladies

and ask me a lot of questions,

but when it comes to you we
got a different story huh.

- You're a player right.

- Whatever.

- Make me believe.

- Alright, what the hell

it's in all the
eastern papers anyway.

Here.

- You in here somewhere?

- Yeah right down there.

- Vince Terrenova, arrested
after Steelgraves death.

Was said to be one of
Steelgraves close associates.

DA did not disclose
whether the indictment

would include Terrenova,
a reputed trigger man

and underworld enforcer.

- Now what was that again?

You were gonna damage
me or something?

How'd that go again?

- Big shooter from Jersey,
you got any real cohunes?

Meet me in front of
the hotel at seven 30.

Where something dark
and rubber soled shoes.

- (laughs) what
are you kidding me,

what are we gonna
do rob a market?

- You show up, you
won't be sorry.

You don't show up well
at least then we know

what you're made of buckweed.

- Well here I am.

Mind telling me
what we're doing.

- Told you I got
some action lined up.

Heavy hitter like you
oughtta really enjoy that.

And you thought there was
too much polyester and plaid.

Get a load of that.

- What is this.

- Well if I have to tell yah,
then I'm with the wrong guy.

Finland, they don't
speak a word of English.

You wanted some action
Buckweed, let's see

if we're up to it.

- Sailor Hardware,
good morning, it's

Mike Terrenova speaking.

- Agent 4587 day coats, doctor
stark, calendar section,

times deals bookage.

- How's it going Vinny.

Did you meet godzilla yet?

- Yeah Roger Lacoco's
definitely got the right name.

Playing it toe to toe with him,

trying to draw him out,

but he doesn't let much slip.

I found out he's not an
independent operator.

He works for one guy
and whoever he is,

he's not from the farm leagues.

His boss sent some
blondes from Finland

while he's between assignments.

- Anything else?

- Yeah tell McPike
that Kenny Sashusa

from the local OCP
officers is a good hand.

I'll report to him, but
Pike ought to get up here.

Let me know will yah.

I may start rolling fast.

- I got it.

Take care Vinny.

- Yeah right.

- You eating?

- Nah I don't think so.

Still got an anchovy doing
half gators in my stomach.

- Yeah you should have
skipped that pizza at two am.

- Morning girls, how are yah?

- (foreign language)

- I don't know what
they're saying,

but it still sounds friendly.

- Check her out.

She's new, just got
in this morning.

- Hey Roger, I think we
got an abundance of riches

as it is, you know what I mean.

- Yeah I move fast
and bore easy.

What are you doing this morning?

- I figured I'd take a
run up to Bakersfield

get a new piece of iron,
other than that nothing.

- Come on, I want to
show you something.

Girls, here.

Stick around, don't go anywhere.

No vamous.

Stay here huh.

Sue's got a great sense
of humor sending me

three crowd whores that
don't speak english.

Come on let's go.

- So who's Sue?

- Huh?

- You said Sue, you said
Sue had a great sense

of humor sending you the girls.

- You don't have to send her
a thank you note so forget it.

- Where we going.

- You like weaponry.

Thought I'd show you a little
something I designed myself.

Got it rewired buckweed.

- Yeah fixed good.

She still ride kinda rough,

but Sue say you like
that so I don't put

the soft shocks up there yet.

- You got it Gert.

Doesn't look like much does she?

- No, Roger it looks pretty sad.

- Stay right here.

- What?

- This.

- Come on you gotta be kidding
me with this piece of junk.

- Tickles your
funny bone does it?

(gun shots)

still think it's funny buckweed?

- What do you got in this thing?

- 50 caliber traces.

- Armor appears in 20
millimeter gatlin gun,

I designed it myself.

This thing gets going
it fucks the rear end

so bad I chip rubber off
the tires 50 miles an hour.

- Let me ask you something.

What do you use this for?

- Weddings, birthday
parties, special occasions.

Come on get in
let's have some fun.

Let's just say we
did my friend a favor

as we're leaving the
seen of the encounter

we got a couple of
bullies firing at us

from that old plane there.

- Okay let's say.

- Takes a little time
to coordinate it,

but with a little practice,

anybody gets nosy
we use the Lacoco

special in the rear.

We take out the grill,
his block, his intestines,

everything all the way
back to his spare tire.

Works great buckweed,

send it on up to the kids.

- Yah okay.

- What the hell is
going on here Roger.

Who are these
people you work for?

- They're very smart, and
they're very dedicated.

You think saying
Steelgrave was something,

he's so little my
employer wouldn't stop

to pick up his action.

It would cost him
money to mess with it.

- How do i get involved?

- Depends on how
deep your well is.

A lot of guys can put a
few caps into some hood

with his hand in the door.

What we do requires
a little thinking.

- Well what do I got
to do, take an IQ test?

- You don't have to take a test.

You need to take tests.

Tell you what I'll do.

Now I'm not making any promises,

'cause it's not in my hands,
but if you want to work

a little, maybe on
a freelance basis

under my direct supervision
I'll pass it by him.

If they like you and
your knees don't buckle

while they check
you out who knows.

- Alright.

- Vinny

- What

- You ever kill anybody.

- Yeah.

- You ever kill a friend?

A friend who's looking at you,

pleading for his life.

- Why would I kill a friend?

- Why is not a question
my employer likes to hear.

You start asking why,

he turns you into a
sack of vegetables.

You still want to play buckweed?

- Yeah I still want to play.

- Okay then.

I'm going to invite
you to a party.

Dress up, it's at
eight o'Clock tonight.

- Frank

- It's all clear let's go.

Vinny this is
Clayton Bartholomew,

He's the RD for
Central California.

- How you doing

- Alright so what do you got.

- There's a piece of property

exactly 20 miles up Sheddingdole
Road from the freeway.

It's gotta be at
least 40 fenced acres.

It's off a dirt road, I
want to know who owns it.

- It looks like they've
been training soldiers

up there, they got
obstacle courses,

tube transports, a lot of
very unfriendly sights.

- What else?

- Somebody named Sue, I
don't have a last name.

He had some rambo car,
they were sending up

to the kids whoever they are.

- Rambo car?

- Yeah, it's a
tricked up T-Bird.

It's got more
ordinance than an F-16.

- You're kidding. Go on.

- They said they might
take me on as a freelancer

if I get by some people,
but he was real vague.

- What else?

- That's it.

- That's it?

- He said this action
makes Sonny Steelgraves

looks like

- Bumpcus

- Yeah right bumpcus.

Anyway it's just an
instinct right now,

but I really feel like
I'm into something.

Here, here's a license
plate of the carriole

that they keep
the semi 8 T-Bird.

They truck it around.

It left just before we did.

I don't know where it's going,

but if the CHP could find it,

it might be a good
idea to tail it.

I don't think you should let
me out of your sight Frank.

I got a feeling I might
disappear and not come back.

- This is ridiculous.

- I'm sure if something
were going on here,

in my bailiwick, I'd know it.

- Uh huh.

- I can't leave Kenny
inside of this any longer.

- Frank there's one other
thing I didn't mention,

those girls, they were
either German or Finnish,

I don't know which.

And the guy that worked
on the car was German,

he was Gert something.

And I know they're
training men up here.

I'm sure of that.

I hate to say it Frank,

but we may have here is

- Nazi's

- Nazi's, well
that's knee wrankle.

- Yeah it would be a
bureau priority memo

on the American Nazi party.

The director seems
very concerned.

- Boy I hope Dr.
Mingling will either

get really scared of me.

- Yeah well we
could use the help.

Need somebody to follow me.

You can't stay here.

I need Kenny.

Guys like Bartholomew love it

when you throw in a few Nazis.

- Alright, we put a tail on you.

You stay in touch.

You're gonna need this.

- Vinny where the hell you been,

I went up to your
room looking for you.

- I had to get ice, the
machine on my floor busted.

- Yeah times changed, we
gotta go to the party now.

Come on.

- Well I gotta get my coat.

- You don't need
anything, let's go.

I already got ice.

- This is X-ray six.

Turn around fellows they're
headed east on Sycamore.

- What's going on
we just left them.

- And this traffic
is going to make me.

We need two tail
vehicles kapish.

- Alright let's go.

- Where we going?

- You ask to many
questions buckweed.

Come on, let's just
get outta here.

- [Vinny] I don't
think you should let me

out of your sight Frank,

because I might disappear
and not come back.

- If it's Nazi's, I think
it's definitely an OCP case.

As RD, the principle
point of discovery,

I want to handle it.

I'm very firm on that.

It's my so to speak ball of wax.

- It's not Nazi's.

- Kenny made the
original computer hook

on Lacoco, Kenny is mine.

I repeat my field agent.

I don't see why Washington is

sending agency people out here.

- It's always like that,
they can't take a joke.

- That's another thing, I'm
getting very, very tired

of your dry biscuit
humor Mister.

I don't think I
have to remind you

that I'm a regional director.

Regional directors outrank
field service supervisors

in my neck of the woods.

- Mazle tov

- I'm Charles
Shagres CiA director

western hemisphere,
covert operations.

You're McPike?

- Most of my life.

I was Batman in the third grade,

but that seems to have passed.

- You're Bartholomew?

- Yes RD for the OCP, this
is my PO agent Sashusa.

- Roger.

- Okay now OCPR already
has an agent in place,

but the air traffic
controllers tell us

that the plane is passing
through Canadian air space.

That makes this a CIA operation.

I just want to make
sure we all know

who's on first and
who's in the duggout.

- Yeah well boys, I
don't play much ball.

But it seems to me
my agent's on point,

therefore, he's
my responsibility.

I'm gonna do all I
can to reclaim him

and to protect him.

- Perhaps you haven't
been reading your

interdepartmental
bulletin as of late.

The CIA is superceeding the FBI

in a lot of semi described areas

including drug related
crimes, political terrorism,

crimes deemed to
have generated in,

but not limited to the U.S.

- Do dah, do dah day.

- Are you getting
smart with me Mister?

- Yeah Mister. I'm
getting smart with you.

You roll in here looking like
an ad for genetic research

and tell me you're
in charge of my man

and I report to
you, I'm in the FBI.

Now I will co-operate
informationally,

but I am in charge of
Vince til my superiors

tell me otherwise,
now you want to try

and change it
upstairs, you go ahead.

You make your phone call.

- I'll certainly call
and qualify jurisdiction.

- Well good I feel
better already.

- In the meantime
we're going to have

to struggle along together.

Now we're bringing in a
specialist on the Nazi party.

- Yeah alright no
Nazi's, it was a joke.

- German's, training exercises,

property that belongs to
an international cartel,

no sir, no joke there.

- It was a joke!

Nazi's are not whacking
monsters and drug dealers.

Lacoco is working
for a nonpolitical.

Now can we get moving on this

and stir up some
interest at the border.

- I think as RD, the
principle point of discovery,

I'm in charge. I want
that on the record.

I want that clearly understood.

- How you doing Rog,

- Good buckweed.

Colgy, this is Vince Terrenova,

he kills people for the
bent noses in Jersey.

- Hello Vinny.

We're Mr. Croffet's security.

You packing any heat.

- Nope, left my six
guns in my saddle.

- Mind if Colgy goes through
you, just precaution.

- Yeah sure, go ahead.

- Squeaky clean, go get wasted.

- Excuse me, have you seen Sue?

- You talking
about Suzie Profit,

- Yeah I was, Suzie Profit,

you seen her around?

- Look for Mel, little
Suzie's usually not far away.

- Who's Mel?

- What are you from the Moon?

Come on sugar get with it.

- Yeah I'm sorry
got some bad shrimp,

slowed me down a little bit.

(laughter)

listen, who are
these people here,

what's going on?

- They're players sugar.

We're all players
in the Profits wheel

of high income and hard knocks.

We live fast, burn out early,
and die young, with nice tats.

- You alright?

- We got some little
dishes of cocaine

on the dessert table.

Probably shouldn't
mix it with the sauce.

I think we're all gonna go
to hell for this one sugar.

Oh I'm going to hell.

- Hey well excuse me.

- Excuse me there
bud, you seen Mel,

- New Z board, I thought
he left by helicopter

a couple hours ago.

- Which Mel we talking about?

- The Mel.

- Oh.

How bout Suzie
Profit, you seen her?

- If Mel left, little
sister left with him.

Who invited you?

Are you a friend of the Profits?

- I came with Roger
Lacoco, what's it to you?

- Perhaps you should
be talking to staff.

- Something wrong Mr. Zingway,

- This gentleman
seems to be lost,

I thought perhaps you could
get him what he's looking for.

- Hey there's Mr. Profit.

- Mel's back.

- You know Mr. Profit?

- I keep saying I came
with Roger Lacoco,

I should have had it tattooed
on my arm when I had time.

- Do I know you?

- We can always hope.

- I'm Susan Profit, I understand
you were asking about me?

- Oh yeah, how you doing,
I'm Vinny Terrenova,

I'm a friend of

- Of Rogers?

- Yeah.

- Roger's always
picking up strays,

it's one of his most
annoying habits.

- Well I can forgive
him just about anything

except for Marcos over here.

I'm not hitting it off too good.

I don't know what it is,

but we're not
physically attracted.

- (foreign language)

- Yeah go head.

- Roger spoke to me about
you last night by phone.

I had our security people
do a background check.

Things didn't work out to
well for Sonny Steelgrave.

And for a guy who was
supposed to be keeping

him healthy, I think you
had a spectacular failure.

- Yeah well you had to be there.

Sonny lived for danger, in the
end the Feds had to take him.

We were driving straight
for a brick wall,

Sonny never once took
his foot off the gas.

- How do you know we
aren't exactly the same?

- I think this is bigger.

And if it is bigger
it's probably smarter.

- Maybe it's just luckier.

- No, I don't believe in luck.

I make it and I take it.

But I don't stand
around and wait for it.

- Roger seems to think
you're somebody we could use.

- Good.

- It's very hard
to impress Roger.

- And you haven't even
heard me sing yet.

- I do most of my
singing in the shower.

Where do you do yours?

- Pick a spot.

- You close pretty fast.

- I only go where
I'm invited Suzie.

- Maybe you need a little test,

something not too
hard and not too easy.

I'll ask my brother
what he thinks.

- I don't like it.

You're asking more questions
than Ard Linkletter.

- Curious.

- Well get un curious,
you stay curious,

you disappear you
got it buckweed.

- What's this.

- Agent K 13.

- For what?

- Gotta go to work.

- What's going on here Roger?

Is that too much to ask?

You want a set of fast
reflexes with no questions,

maybe I'm not your boy.

I don't know what
it's like for you,

but I like to do some of my
own thinking occasionally.

- [TV] No one was
seriously hurt, but

- Okay buckweed, fair enough.

We're going to handle a
little security problem.

- We're going to dispense
some peace and tranquility.

- Mr. Profit has an
associate who handles

our import problems
here in Canada.

He helps to get
marijuana and tie sticks

down to our people in northern
U.S. distribution points.

It's a two million
dollar a day hustle,

not much of an operation.

But this associate got careless,

the mounties picked
him up and we're afraid

he's going to turn
over and sell people.

- Since when is two
million dollars a day

not much of an operation?

- Mr. Profit's worldwide
operation is 20 times that.

- What?

- 40 million dollars
a day in marijuana?

I bet they have a farm the
size of Delaware for that.

- Who said that it was weed.

We're in the international
contraband market worldwide.

We sell things to
people who can't get em

through any other channels.

Guns, drugs, women, power,
the grease that makes

the world such a
great place to be.

- And you're telling me
that Mel Profit is the boss.

- No buckweed Mel Profit is god.

Where he walks
the ground shakes,

make him happy you get
wealthy over night.

Cross him, the ground
opens up and swallows you.

- And that's where you come in.

- We all got our place in line.

(phone rings)

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

If you're good,
after we rescue him,

maybe I'll let you
kill him (laughs)

that makes Mr. Profit happy,

he gets happy, starts
passing around cash.

Laundered cash,
buckweed, stacks of it

in 10,000 dollar bank bands,

never even counted, just
passes it out like candy.

All you gotta do is pull
a guys drapes over here,

blow up a house of
poachers over there.

Stuff I did in the 'Nam
for 465 bucks a month.

Let's go.

According to our tip, there are
four guys in there with him.

They feed him at nine sharp.

Two guys go into the back of
the house to get his food,

the other two are in the
den on the left side,

off the entry hall.

We go in, grab em, waste
anybody who tries to stop us.

- The house doesn't look
that easy to break into.

- I'll get us in, all
you gotta do is cover me,

while I pull Skunkel out.

- Skunkel's a dope
distributor right?

- A Yugoslavian drug store,

you got the gelt
he got the melt.

Only he got himself a
case of terminal dumbness,

he started talking to cops.

- How you plan on getting
through that door,

looks like it's made
out of solid oak.

- You got a short
memory buckweed.

(gun shots)

Vince cover me.

Skunkel come on we're
taking you home.

- Get it out of here.

- I'm hit Vinny.

(police sirens)

- God where did that come from?

- Not gonna make it.

- You all right?

- Frank we gotta get
this guy to a hospital.

Took a bullet and he's out cold.

- All in good time,
if he dies he's

just paying the price
of a life of crime.

- Frank I need him alive
so he can vouch for me.

- Look I'll handle
this with RCMP.

Skunkel can give us
this whole operation.

Why don't you guys take off.

I'll write up the field report,

and put you in for a citation.

- Frank who is this moron.

- He's one of guys we've
been reading about.

He's a front liner in the CIA,

agent Shagras, Agent Terrenova.

- CIA?

- It might escape your notice,

but we're in a foreign country,

that makes this a joint
CIA Canadian operation.

- Alright let's get
him to a hospital,

see what you've got.

- You're gonna
make it Mr. Lacoco.

However, wouldn't have
happened if Mr. Terrenova

hadn't gotten you here in time.

- Mind giving us a minute Doc.

- That dressing will
have to be changed,

before you can leave.

I think by Sunday
night you can be-

- Doc, are you deaf
or what. Get out.

Tell me a story buckweed.

- I got us out of there.

Called some friends in Chicago,

they gave me Dr.
Ackerman's name.

He's being paid well.

You know you been
out for three days.

- It's Wednesday?

- Yeah.

- What happened to Zeke?

- Zeke?

- Skunkel, what happened to him.

- What I told you I
got us out of there.

You were unconscious, I
took him out in the brush

and I whacked him.

- You did huh?

- Yeah that was
the job wasn't it?

- I was supposed to debrief him.

Find out which
guys he compromised

so they could take off before
the indictments came down.

- Yeah well you never got
around to telling me that.

Maybe in the future, you ought
to loosed up a little bit.

- you killed him?
That's the story right.

- That's right buckweed.

He's on the arc.

- I wanna see the body.

- I'm not sure I can
remember where I buried it.

- I wanna see his face, I
want to count the maggots.

Get me out of here.

- No Dr. Ackerman says you
can't leave til Sunday.

- Dr. Heckler and Dr. Cosh
say we do it right now.

- Okay.

Looking a little
peaked there Roger.

- Good.

His face, I want
to see his face.

- He's in there with 10
quarts of nitric acid,

there is no face.

- A little gangland vanishing
cream, huh buckweed.

How do I know who this is?

- Alright just relax.

We pulled his peace
medal or whatever

the hell it was he was wearing.

Now you want to take
him out for a drink

or you want to cover him up?

- (laughs) cover him up.

- Looks like he went for it.

One cadaver curtesy of
the Ottawa Medical School

did the trick.

Let's get out of here.

- My brother would
like you to join us

in our salon for dinner.

I think that's a very good sign.

- Must be on a lucky streak.

- Now you don't believe in luck.

You make it, you
take it, but you

don't stand around
and wait for it.

Was that the way it went?

- Yeah that's
pretty much it yeah.

- Well you made yourself
some luck Vinny.

My brother's interested in you.

A new world's about to open up.

A world of wealth,
power, and pleasure

and I'm here to help
you find the way
