Dangerous Rumors (2023) Movie Script
[Dispatcher] 7885 Code six.
Taylor, someone's waiting for you.
[Christine] Okay.
You really a driver?
I showed you my card, didn't I?
Got any ID?
Are you serious?
Here is my health card.
Who sent you?
Jimmy.
Jimmy posted my bail?
And you work for him?
I guess.
You guess?
What does that mean?
- Look,
Jimmy just told me to be here for 10:00 PM
to give someone a ride.
Malcolm.
You're Malcolm, right?
All right then.
Okay.
D one is for drive.
Exactly how long you've
been driving for Jimmy?
- Not long.
- Mm-hmm.
[Christine] Shit.
Oh, we damn sure ain't doing this.
Build strong and they
can never break you
But dig yourself two graves
And may the devil take you
Made new drugs got me higher than K2
A game of chess so we let
the drama play through
Give praise with praise due
Guillotine, darth flago
from the shark NATO
Checking nparts,
keep the heart stable
Well trained in the art fatal
Bishop and star cable
peaked the new wave
Eddie and priest that you two ways
Third eye had shot
nlike eco new waves
He got the force in 'em
He kind of smoothed one up.
He got that raw feeling,
Tony Award winning
And yo, we all living
academy, all chilling
Laying back puff grass
like the mob villain
He got the force in him
He kind of smooth, but
got that raw feeling
Tony Award winning
And yo, we all living academy
I got jerky.
Are you the fox?
What?
You heard me, goddammit,
are you the fox?
I'm Christine.
All right, Christine,
maybe you could tell me why
there's a loaded gun in
the glove box of your car.
A gun that looks like it was here
just to blow my brains
all over this parking lot.
That is, if I didn't find it
before you had a chance
to shoot me in the face.
Goddammit, I asked you a question
and I ain't moving this gun
until you give me an answer.
Look, I don't wanna shoot you, okay?
I've never killed anyone before in my life
and this isn't even my car.
This is Jimmy's car.
He told me to pick you up
and so that's what I did and
I'm sorry that I talk so much
and that I only do that when I get nervous
and I'm sorry that I made you drive
and I just wanted to get some beef jerky
and a blueberry Slushy.
I think I just peed myself.
Who's the fox?
Two years ago,
Jimmy planned a bank job.
Three-man gig.
Big Ben and Johnny
Knuckles took the place.
Double Dave would drive the
getaway, the take was 70Gs.
Jimmy sat out, but would
get 20 for planning.
Boys tossed the rest up themselves,
but this was before Jimmy was Jimmy.
So they thought, fuck Jimmy, and split.
Four days later they find
Dave, Johnny and Ben dead.
One in the head, one in
the chest, execution style.
And they were all in their underwear.
Jimmy did that?
No, see Jimmy ain't hard like that.
Plus they know what Jimmy look like.
So even if Jimmy find them,
he don't make it through the door
without one of them
popping a cap in his ass.
The person who came for them,
they never seen that cat before.
And whoever it was got inside that room
without any of them
thinking he was a problem.
That is until he gutted
them like stuck pigs.
And the motherfucker done it
without making the mess of the place.
So he fast, smooth,
tricky, and cunning as
A fox.
So he sends a ride to pick me up
to make sure I get to my place
and make sure I stay there tonight.
Well, that's exactly where we ain't going.
What?
You said Jimmy told you to call him
at his place tonight if
I went anywhere, right?
Yeah.
Well, that's the one
place that we know for sure
Jimmy's gonna be tonight.
That's where we going.
Okay, one sec.
Where the heck you going?
To get a refill.
Get your skinny ass back in the car.
Okay.
You know you get a free refill
with a large cup, right?
[Malcolm] So this the place?
Yep.
Thought you said he'd be home.
Ain't no lights on or nothing.
Maybe he's upstairs.
Ain't no lights on upstairs neither.
Well, maybe he's in the bathroom.
Look, are you sure
we at the right house?
Yes, I already told you
this is Jimmy's place.
All right, all right, shit.
Just making sure.
So what's the plan?
I'm gonna go talk to him.
Talk to him?
What does that mean?
You know, go straighten
this whole mess out with me
and Vincent that got all fucked up.
What's the gun for?
In case he don't feel like talking.
Can I have the keys?
Why?
Oh, I don't know because
Jimmy told me to drive you home
and keep you there, and if
Jimmy walks out that door
and sees me sitting
here, I'm totally fucked.
Just hide in the
backseat till I get back.
What? No! No, no way.
Like what If someone sees me?
You know what, I'm not
hiding in no backseat
waiting for someone to come find me.
[Malcolm] You ain't getting the keys.
Lock me in the trunk.
Say what?
Yeah, lock me in the trunk,
because that way if Jimmy
or someone else comes by
and sees me, then I'll just be like,
you roughed me up a little
bit and put me back there.
You white girls are
into some kinky shit.
Shit.
Ain't the first time I
locked someone in the trunk,
and you damn skinny enough to fit,
so, all right, let's do it.
All right, this is it.
Now, when you get in there
and I close this down,
it's gonna be a little scary.
Just don't think about
it and you'll be fine.
Listen, what I said before,
you all right, Christine.
Wallace.
Christine Wallace.
It was nice to meet you, Malcolm.
Taylor.
Malcolm Taylor.
Ah, fuck, Vincent.
Oh.
[Jimmy] Is it done?
Yeah, it's done.
[Jimmy] Both of them?
Uh-huh.
Anyone talk?
Vincent.
They said they were
gonna give him 15 years,
he couldn't do the time.
Mm-hmm.
And Malcolm?
No.
[Jimmy] Then why?
What the fuck?
I know how you feel about loose ends.
All right.
Take the rest of the night off.
You've earned it.
Thanks, Jimmy.
This sure ain't gonna help those rumors.
Woo-hoo, I'm gonna get ya down
Get ya down, baby
I'm gonna get ya down
Get ya down, baby
Mm, but I mean
But I've been waiting
I've been waiting to take ya out
I got a feel, oh
You're not gonna take
it all out on me, oh
Gonna have to take it, take it
Take it all out on me, oh
I'll get ya down
I'll get ya down
Ooh, I'll get ya
I'll get ya down
I'll get ya down
Whoa
Yeah, I'll be right back.
Christine.
Hi, Ray.
Hi.
Haven't seen you down here in a while.
I know.
[Ray] You're working again.
Yeah.
That what I think it is?
Seven liter V8.
She's fucking beautiful.
With the Chrome finish too.
Don't see a lot of those around anymore.
Where'd you find it?
The docks.
Original.
Almost.
Almost.
Eight track's ripped out the dash.
Someone tried to put in a CD player.
CDs.
JF.
JF.
This is Christine.
She's been with us a long time.
Almost one of the family.
Ain't that right, Christine?
Jimmy's personal
Swiss Army Knife.
Well, don't just stand
there like a fucking mute.
Ain't you gonna say something?
Don't mind him, he's French.
You
could learn a lot from
someone like this, huh?
Look at the fucking beauty
she brought us, huh!
So, how's she drive?
Like a dream.
Nice.
Remember that '76 LeSabre you brought in?
Uh-huh.
How'd that work out for you?
Fine.
That's a red
- Red velvet.
- Velvet.
- Interior.
- Interior.
Don't see many of those in
the, you can't smoke in here.
[Victim] Ah, fuck. No.
You know the two-door
coupe is custom, right?
What'd you like best about her?
Big trunk.
That's right.
Huh.
A real boulevard cruiser.
They sure don't make
'em like that anymore.
[Victim] Ah my fucking leg.
Excuse me a minute.
[Victim] No, no, no.
I have people looking for me.
[Ray] A 68 original.
And you rip out the 8-track.
No
It's a fucking 8-track.
What the fuck is that?
- You fuck!
JF!
JF.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right now?
Okay.
Jimmy?
Yeah. Let's go.
Listen, dip shit.
I don't give a shit if
you showed him the order.
I don't give a shit if
you looked in the bag.
I don't care if Tim and
his mom jump in the bag
and swim around in my fucking
sandwich for 30 minutes.
You fucked up.
Lonnie, Lonnie, if it happens again,
I'm gonna come down there, do you hear me?
Every week, every week I
order from this fucking place,
Lonnie's next door.
You've been there?
I tell him roast beef, lightly toasted,
mustard and extra pickles.
You know what he gives me?
This fucking guy.
He gives me one goddamn pickle, one,
and he's got the nerve to
tell me he put more in there.
Well, I sure as shit
don't see any, do you?
Do you know why we're here?
The Malcolm and Vincent situation.
Done.
Apparently not.
Charleston County weren't too happy
with their boy going missing,
especially after he'd done a job for us,
or more specifically, me.
So what? Charleston's a long ways away.
Well, that's not the point.
You were hired to do a job clean
and that wasn't the case.
From our bookies three nights ago.
Smiling Sammy.
Yeah, he wasn't smiling that night.
They took the place for 100K.
100K Seems like a lot.
Double the Malcolm and Vincent job.
It's payback.
Like they were trying
to send us a message.
So what'd we do?
Oh, we sent one back.
Baseball Joe.
Huh.
I've heard of him.
He chainsawed a guy in half
for getting drunk at his sister's wedding.
[Victim] No, please!
Aah!
Right, Joe from the Schwa.
Why do they call him Baseball Joe
if he chainsaws people in half?
That's who you got?
Joe is effective,
reliable, and best of all, affordable.
Yeah, but unfortunately,
discretion's not his forte.
Sounds like a colossal fucking mess.
Yeah. Two bodies so far.
The money's missing,
and we haven't heard
from this maniac since.
So you don't know where he is?
Last time he checked in,
he called from this number.
So you want me to take care of him?
Jesus. Are you deaf, huh?
Am I speaking Chinese?
Tell me, what the fuck did I say?
You taking care of things
is what got us in this
situation in the first place.
Anymore bodies, and you'll
bring the heat down on us,
and that's the last thing we need.
The only thing I care about is the money.
And since the last job wasn't exactly
a shining example of your reputation,
we're gonna call this cleanup.
Find the money,
get it back,
and I do mean discreetly.
I thought Joe had the money.
Then who does?
I said I'm in the bath, Mr. Randall.
[Mr. Randall] Seven
o'clock, I go for bingo now.
[Alex] Welcome back, this is Alex Hill.
It's only six. Doesn't
bingo start at eight?
Eight is too late,
Mrs. Chen, she's always there for six.
Why does that matter, Mr. Randall?
She cheats me.
[Alex] And Joanne from Toronto.
I'm sure no one's trying
to cheat you, Mr. Randall.
Crooked Mrs. Chen, she always wins.
How she always wins, cheating.
Isn't Mrs. Chen 87 years old?
And for God's sakes, Mr. Randall,
please stop spitting on our floor.
[Alex] Our next round is
open to all contestants.
We'll start with science for 200.
Name the biggest celestial
body in our solar system.
- The sun.
- Joanne again.
- What is Jupiter?
- That's right.
You sitting too close to that thing.
You're gonna go blind.
Babe, you're getting
soup for dinner, all right?
Oh wait, one more thing.
The hot water stopped
working. Can you fix it?
I fix, you pay your
bills, you get hot water,
you get cold water, you
get whatever you need.
Thank you, Mr. Randall.
I got for bingo now.
You pay me rent when I come back.
Soup coming up.
Jacob?
Jacob.
- Mom!
Okay. Okay, please.
No, no, no. Don't hurt him.
Don't hurt him.
I will do anything you want, okay?
Anything you want.
Please.
Water.
Okay, honey stay right there.
No cops!
- I got it. I got it.
- I'm not playing.
- Okay.
- No fucking cops.
Come here.
[Jacob] Mom!
Jacob.
Oh my gosh.
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Are you sure?
Did he hurt you?
Oh my gosh.
You're okay, you're okay, you're okay.
You think the kids saw it?
Ms. Monroe, you're
from Charleston originally,
aren't you, Ms. Monroe?
Mm-hmm.
Was he conscious when you found him?
Did he have any weapons,
ID, anything else on him?
I don't know.
We found another body a
couple blocks from here,
an associate of the deceased.
Whatever they were into went bad fast
and this house is now a crime scene.
You can't stay here.
But we got nowhere else to go.
Everything we have is in this house.
[Investigator] What if they come back?
Ms. Monroe.
Ms. Monroe.
Kate.
Kate.
[Kate] How you feeling?
Long drive, hey?
- Yeah.
- Do you wanna take a bath?
- Okay.
- Feel better.
Okay, good.
Cortez, come on in.
We're almost done here.
Sir.
Long way from property, Cortez.
Somebody lose their car keys?
You know Vinchensky?
Yep.
Well, listen, buddy, give
us a few minutes, will ya?
Sure, Chief.
By the way, Cortez, the next
time your date gets too rough,
just let the guy know that no means no.
Get the fuck outta here, Vinchensky.
Stupid prick.
Hope I wasn't interrupting.
No, not at all.
Just an update on the
Charleston boys case.
Any leads?
As a matter of fact,
take a look at that.
One of Ray's goons.
That's sack of shit chainsawed
some poor schmuck in half
at his sister's wedding.
I don't think this is
the guy I saw, Chief.
You sure?
Unfuckingbelievable.
We have four bodies and
not one single lead.
You know what, Cortez?
There was a job just like this, bank job.
Suspects got away with a lot of cash.
Three of them.
Funny thing.
Couple days later, we
find them in a motel room
dead in their underwear.
Yeah, all three of them
executed in their underwear.
Can you fucking believe that, Cortez?
In their underwear!
No money, no DNA, nothing.
You got a theory?
Sex fetish gone wrong?
Oh, for fuck sakes.
Not the hotel, the fucking case.
Just trying to help, sir.
I know. All right, I'm
gonna bring you in on this.
It's about time you cut your
teeth on some real police work.
So get back to that neighborhood,
ask around, and find me a witness.
You got it, sir.
Now get the fuck outta here.
We're just going to eat
lunch first and then we'll go.
Burgers, burgers, burger.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I'll be right back.
Don't forget to brush your tongue, okay?
Mm-hmm.
No, no.
Wow.
Hello?
[Bobby] Kate, Kate. It's Bobby.
Bobby.
- Everything okay?
- Mm-hmm.
What's wrong?
[Kate] Nothing.
You're breathing heavy.
No, we're fine.
I'm coming to get you.
- No.
- It's okay.
[Kate] Bobby.
Look, I can be there in a couple hours.
Bobby.
[Bobby] What's the name
of the motel you're at?
Bobby, you don't even have a car.
My friend's gonna give me a ride.
Look, just stop worrying
and just give me the name of the motel.
Just give me the address.
I can't
Bobby?
Yeah?
[Christine] You're not
getting that address.
Shit.
Who's this?
[Baseball Joe] You know who this is.
Yeah.
[Baseball Joe] You got
something that belongs to me.
Yeah?
[Baseball Joe] You need to come see me.
I don't think so.
[Baseball Joe] I think you do.
[Christine] What do you want?
[Baseball Joe] Bring
me the money. All of it.
And what? You'll let us go?
That's right.
If we don't?
Then you'll end up like Bobby here.
Well?
I'll think about it.
What happened to Bobby?
Bobby's dead.
What do you mean? I
was just talking to him.
Man on the phone has killed
lot of people looking for you.
Is he like you?
No. He likes baseball.
Are you
a ninja?
Who is he?
That's John Francois.
They call him LeBoucher.
Why is he trying to kill us?
Calm down. I can help.
Really? Is that what you call help?
Yeah.
Well, we don't need that kind of help.
Okay.
No, wait.
How can you help?
Well, for starters, getting rid of him
before he comes to,
unless you and the kid
think you can handle it.
Good.
We need to move, we can't stay here,
so grab everything you need
'cause we're not coming back.
Now.
Okay, okay.
There.
All done.
What now?
Don't worry about it.
Jesus, how could this get any worse?
He could be dead.
I need a drink, yeah.
I know a place.
Let's take your car.
Whose car is this?
There's this detective, Neil.
- Neil.
- Yeah.
White guy. Perfect beard.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think
he's gonna be much help.
[Kate] Why not?
Just a feeling.
Ah, here we go.
What the hell is this?
Moon room special.
Three Slushys for six bucks.
Where's my change?
You saw what I did to that guy, right?
I need a real drink.
She doesn't like it here very much.
You see that guy behind me?
That's Marcus Manning.
He's head of the Manning boys.
37 hits, 32 murder charges, all dropped.
Yeah, none of the witnesses
made it to the stand.
And you see that guy over there?
That's Skinny Steve.
He sells drugs.
Yeah, he just got out of
lockup like last week.
Skinny Steve has a thing for skinny girls.
That's probably why he's
checking out your mom.
It took me 10 minutes to get a drink
and it's watered down, great.
Damn, you got a nice set
of sticks on you, woman.
What do you say we have a dance?
- No thanks.
- Come on.
No, let's have a dance.
- I said no.
- Let's go.
I know who you are.
I got no beef with you.
Nice shirt.
You want a drink?
Sure.
You spying on me?
Shouldn't you be asleep?
Well, I'm going to bed.
Why do you kill people?
It's my job.
You don't feel bad?
No.
Why?
Everyone's gotta die sometime.
Do you ever talk to them?
Who?
The people.
Why?
To make friends.
Maybe if they were your friends,
then you don't have to kill them.
I don't really have any friends.
But, I'm your friend.
Yeah?
All right, kid.
But you can't tell my mom
because I think she'll be mad.
Okay.
Promise?
I promise.
Can I go to sleep now?
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Your friend can sit.
He prefers to stand.
This place is a dump.
Well, we're sorry.
We didn't really wanna bring you down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's cut the bullshit, okay?
This don't look like no impound lot.
And you two sure as shit
don't look like your average traffic pigs,
so why don't you just
get the fuck on with it
and stop acting like a pair of cunts.
These the papers we gotta sign?
1968 Mercury Cougar.
Ivy green, parked overnight outside
of Barbara's restaurant in the alleyway,
which is a tow away zone.
I own the restaurant.
Oh, you do?
Yeah, and the car's never
been a problem before.
Alley is city property.
I don't remember asking
you a goddamn thing.
Be that as it may,
the car is in your name.
It's my mother's.
Your mother drives a 1968 Cougar.
Must be quite a gal.
Now, I just need you to sign right there
and we can get the release processed.
That's a tough neighborhood.
There's a pawn shop down the street.
They had a little trouble
a couple of nights ago.
What's the name of that
joint again? It's...
- Sammy's, Chief.
- That's it, yeah.
Right, Sammy's, smiling Sammy.
Yeah, we got a couple
of calls about some guys
trying to rip the place off.
Hey, you can't smoke in here.
Anyway, we sent a couple of
units down to check it out.
You know what's funny is that
when they spoke to Sammy,
he didn't know a goddamn thing.
You think I do?
I don't know.
A restaurant that you own
in the same neighborhood,
place that you frequent from time to time.
Maybe you heard something,
anything suspicious.
You see, detective, I
look around, you know,
and I see cops that have lost their way.
Their ignorance is contagious.
They go around infecting
each other like a plague.
It's disgusting.
Now, liberty, freedom,
free speech, opportunity.
You work hard and the world can be yours.
That idea seems to be drifting
further and further away.
You know, it's like a light
drifting away in the fog.
Well, Cortez here was
assisting in the investigation,
and the day after Sammy's
place got ripped off,
he followed two of the
suspects to a house.
And when he went back
there, he found two bodies,
one shot and one, well, not so lucky.
And guess what?
He also found the landlord
in the same house,
also very dead.
And last, and this is where it gets
a little bit personal for me.
A police detective with his neck broken.
Fortunately, Cortez here
was first on the scene
and he got a glimpse of
one of the assailants.
As we speak, we're running fingerprints
off the evidence that we found.
They should be ready and what?
- 48 hours, Chief.
- 48 hours.
You know, detective, the
thing about people and rules
is you can only push so
far before they push back.
Is that a threat, Jimmy?
Oh, Chief.
Don't forget, if you're gonna hassle me
about a parking ticket again,
call my fucking lawyer.
Let's go, Boots.
Witnesses have identified
a tan blue pickup truck
leaving the scene at the
time of the incident.
The same blue pickup truck
was seen at a triple homicide
in Durham County, leaving three dead,
including one on duty homicide detective.
Police are refusing to
comment at this time.
We need to talk.
This has gotten way out of hand.
I mean, leaving for a
few weeks is one thing,
but that man last night,
you, my brother Bobby,
we need to go to the police.
Just turn the money-
Kate.
Straighten this whole thing out.
[Christine] Kate.
Please, I need to keep Jacob safe.
The man who's coming
for you can't be begged,
bought, or reasoned with.
He has no compassion, fear, or remorse.
And once he catches up,
I'll be the only thing
standing between him and
a bullet in Jacob's head.
And I'm getting tired of babysitting.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
The money.
Maybe there's another way.
I give you the money and you kill Joe.
Come again?
That's your job, right?
You kill people for money.
Well, I've got 100,000 and it's yours
if you kill the piece of
shit who murdered my brother.
I don't think so.
Why not?
Not part of my contract.
If you kill Joe, this all goes away.
[Christine] It's not that simple.
It is to me.
Not a good move, Kate.
Once you cross that line,
the rest of your life,
you'll be looking over your shoulder.
That's not much different
than right now, is it?
Look, you want the money, okay,
but I'm not just handing it over,
I'm buying something with it.
You want me to trust you?
You have to do something for me,
something the police can't.
All right.
All right, so we have a deal.
[Christine] Have the
money ready when I get back.
Hold on a second.
One more thing.
The mom and the kid, get rid of them.
I thought you said no more bodies.
Well, that's before you took out a cop
and sent half a Durham
PD crawling up my ass.
You're slipping.
Is this gonna be a problem?
No.
Okay, well, call this number
back when the job's done
and leave a message on the machine.
What's the message?
[Jimmy] The divorce is final.
Oh.
Jimmy, Jimmy, please, I
didn't do anything, Jimmy.
What the fuck? Are you sorry?
- Yeah.
- You're sorry?
You steal from me and
you say you're sorry.
No, I didn't steal.
You shit.
I didn't steal from you Jimmy.
I didn't steal anything.
I didn't steal anything.
Fuck, his head came off.
I wanna make sure this goes
exactly the way it should.
You understand?
[Sportscaster] Wearing
glasses, it gets tuned up a bit.
We're in the third inning
and it's almost halftime.
Ssh.
[Sportscaster] Everything
that's happened so far
that you'd expect to
happen on a ball field.
All right.
Come on, motherfucker.
Let's go. Let's go!
[Sportscaster] He looks him over.
He starts this wind up, here's the pitch.
Strike two.
- Oh, fuck!
Fucking cocksucker.
- Two strikes, one ball.
- What the hell is this?
It's strike two.
[Sportscaster] And here's the next one.
Ball a little high. One, two.
What the fuck!
I was sent by a mutual friend.
Nobody, I mean fucking
nobody turns off my radio.
And you with that shit
kicking look on your face
look like less than any
fucking body I know.
Now give me one good reason why I don't
smash your brains all over my window.
Take this piece of wood out of my face
and I'll let you walk outta
here with your tiny little head.
Crazy bitch.
Jimmy said you were good.
You got the money?
It's coming.
And the marks?
Covered.
No, fuck, no!
I ain't missing out on that action,
not after all the fucking work I done.
Action?
10K each came down
from Jimmy this morning.
Oh.
She didn't know.
Tell you what, you just
give me the address and
me and Christy here, we'll do 'em both.
I'll even cut you in on the action.
What do you say?
You name the bats?
What is that, some kind of psycho shit?
Nah, it's sentimental.
Kids?
Strippers.
So, we got a deal?
I'll take care of it.
You sure?
'Cause it sure as shit
doesn't sound like a home run
from where I'm sitting.
Listen dick head, when the
time comes, I'll do 'em both.
You keep the action.
You expect me to buy that.
Ain't buying nothing,
that's just how it is.
Come on.
That's how it is.
Okay.
Fuck it.
All right.
Good. Till then, stay outta my way.
All right, baby.
Mommy's just gonna run in
for a quick couple of minutes, okay?
- Okay.
- No, no, you stay here.
Don't leave the car.
Okay?
Why?
Keep the doors locked.
Don't open them for anyone.
You heard me? This is important, okay?
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
I just need to grab something.
Just draw me a picture
while I'm gone, okay?
No.
Shit.
Okay.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Crashing. You?
Looking for JF.
Where the fuck you been
the last five days?
Been working.
Yeah, I can see that.
[Baseball Joe] Its
empty, I already checked.
Let's check again
Fuck.
Just be cool.
Don't do anything stupid.
Me?
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Hey, officer.
It's detective.
Ooh, is that right?
What brings you two here?
Ooh, we were just
Crashing.
Is that right?
So if I go in there, that's
what they're gonna tell me?
Yeah.
You're Baseball Joe, right?
Bon Voyage Hotel. Code eight, code eight.
You guys wait here until I get back.
Okay.
Okay, let's get the fuck outta here.
What about the room?
Are you fucking dense?
This place is gonna be crawling with cops.
Fuck this, I'm outta here.
You're a fucking lunatic, you know that?
You better fix this fucking mess!
You got it?
Ms. Monroe, are you in there?
Ms. Monroe? This is the police.
Joe, put it down!
No.
- Get in there.
- No.
Let him go.
- You stay the fuck back.
Let him go.
Shut the fuck up.
Where's the money?
I don't have any money.
You don't have the money?
I will splatter his fucking
brains all over my truck.
No, please, please.
Then go get me the money.
I can get it. I can get it.
- Got get it now!
- It's not here.
Oh, it's not here. Okay,
kid, close your eyes.
No, I can't get it, I promise.
- Mom!
- You shut the fuck up.
Please. I'll get it for you.
It's just I don't have it, I promise.
- Yeah?
- I promise.
All right, because now
I have something you want.
Old mill scrap yard, midnight.
Say it!
Old mill scrap yard, midnight.
That wasn't so hard, was it? Bye.
Fuck, Jacob.
Jacob.
He's got Jacob.
- What?
- He's got Jacob.
- Who?
- Joe.
This is all my fucking fault.
Okay, you need to calm down.
What if he hurts him?
[Christine] He's not gonna hurt him.
How do you know that?
Because he wants the money.
Tell me you have it.
Yes, I have the money.
[Christine] Where is it?
Please, please, I just wanna see my son.
I just need my son back.
You have my word, I'll give you the money,
but I just, I need my son back.
Please, please.
Do you know where he is?
Old mill scrap yard.
You're sure?
Oh God. He must be so scared.
He had a fever this morning.
You need to stay calm.
Okay?
Do you wanna stay here or
do you wanna come with me?
I need a minute.
Do you wanna stay here or
do you wanna come with me?
I wanna come with you.
Good.
Let's go.
[Kate] This place looks
like a fucking graveyard.
[Christine] It is.
There was a fire in the
hangar 10 years back.
The whole place went up
in smoke. No survivors.
Couldn't sell it after that,
so the city turned it into this.
The runway goes back about three miles.
Three miles of graveyard.
You are late.
I was starting to think
that you didn't want
the little shit back.
I wanna see my son.
Ah, bitch, you don't
seem to fucking comprehend
how this works.
You get the money, we get the kid.
Okay, that's the deal.
It's funny, 'cause
that's not the fucking deal
that I remember.
Well, that's the deal now.
No.
That is not okay!
How about we make a new deal, okay?
I'm gonna come down there,
I'm gonna kill the both of you,
then I'm gonna take the
money and I'm gonna go,
and before I fucking leave
that kid buried in a goddamn ditch,
I'm gonna tell him
that I had to bash his mama's brains in
just because she was a fucking pain.
A goddamn pain in my ass!
[Christine] Kate!
[Baseball Joe] Your friend ain't coming.
It's just you and me now.
Ah.
You see, little girl,
your first mistake was taking this job.
I told those greasy fucking
wops that I had this covered.
Baseball Joe!
But no, they had to
call in the big bad fox.
Well.
You ain't so bad, are ya?
No.
Oh, fuck.
Poor, poor little baby fox.
You don't even know who
you're dealing with, do you?
I'm the biggest, meanest
fucking dog in the yard.
Yeah, I'm a rabid hound.
And you know what hounds do?
We hunt foxes.
Yeah.
We fucking maim 'em.
You know what?
If it wasn't for your fucking dumb ass
dragging this whole thing out,
Jimmy wouldn't have even
have upped the score to 20K,
which is fucking beautiful for me
'cause that means I'm
gonna buy myself a beast
of a fucking truck and
I'm gonna haul my ass
down to the stadium in class
and I'm gonna watch the
fucking Yankees get smashed.
Whoa!
Oh, I can't wait.
Front row seats.
What, you got a little more?
Should I put my hands behind my back?
Yeah come on.
Yeah, you like that?
The divorce, it's final.
You know what?
I really like you, you crazy bitch.
Any last words?
You bark more than any bitch I know.
All right, Charlene, let's do this.
That's for Bobby, you son of a bitch.
Don't you two bitches ever die?
Do it.
Come on. Do it.
Do it. Come on.
Come on!
Oh, Jacob, baby, come here.
Oh my gosh, come here.
Are you okay?
Are you sure?
Did he hurt you?
Oh my gosh, baby, are
you okay? I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, I got you now, okay
I got you.
- Mom.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Look, look, I know we had a deal,
but I don't have the money.
I swear I'm not lying.
You don't have to kill us.
You heard what he said.
They paid Joe to take you out.
Of course, you heard.
You heard it all.
Wait in the car, babe.
Do it!
The money for Joe, that
was the deal, right?
You didn't take care
of Joe, did you? I did.
The way I see it, you owe me.
Stop.
[Kate] Let us go.
That's not gonna happen.
You lying bitch.
Careful.
All that talk about your
contract protecting us.
It was all bullshit.
You don't care. You never did, did you?
You're just a sad, angry,
little empty shell.
Tell me everything I
said isn't true, say it.
You kill us, you're no better than Joe.
Don't do that.
I told you, I don't have the money.
I know.
Mom!
You're bleeding.
That's for calling me a bitch.
Christine!
In front of the kid too, not cool.
Help us!
You know the number.
Address is on the sign out front.
What are you waiting for? Go.
The money's coming with me
and that's how it's gonna be.
So as far as I'm
concerned, the job is done.
You had it the whole time.
Next time find a better hiding spot.
Now, there's gonna be a
lot of people asking you
about what happened here today,
and in case you get any ideas,
just remember
that I can always come back
and we can do this the other way.
They're coming.
Good.
See you around, kid.
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Tie up some loose ends.
That's okay. I'm fine, okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Jesus, Vinny.
Found him this morning. Shot to shit.
And you thought it'd be a good idea
to show me this before my breakfast?
It happened in a scrap
yard off Atlantic Boulevard,
boy we ran a print off one of the guns.
Came back with a match.
Baseball Joe?
That's right.
Son of bitch had sex with his
own sister at her wedding.
Still no sighting since
the fireworks last night?
No, sir.
Looks like our boy's
trying to beat the heat.
He's trying to lay low.
I mean, that'd be the smart thing to do.
It would.
But this kind of brutality,
the appetite for destruction,
it's not the kind of thing
you can just turn off.
No, I don't think we're
gonna have to wait too long.
Our boy's gonna strike again, soon.
I don't wanna take it from you.
You're my buddy. Why
would I take your money?
Let play for fun.
As long as you do the job.
Jimmy, what are you doing,
stacking the cards for me or what?
- Let's see.
- Give me a couple.
Shit, what am I doing
with these spades.
- All right.
- Very good.
What the fuck is this? Huh?
You can't afford to dress properly?
Huh?
Sorry, Jimmy.
- Studs.
- Yeah.
Hey.
No.
Hello, Jimmy.
Do you know why I'm here?
You hired me to do a job
and then you tried to have me killed.
You were going soft.
You put the job and all of us at risk.
It wasn't personal.
It was to me.
[Jimmy] Do something.
Never send a rabbit to kill a fox.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Now, we're friends.
We're friends.
We're friends.
Now listen, I got a
1969 Chevelle downstairs
with a 454 big block.
And I don't think I'm gonna
be needing it anymore.
What do you say?
Friend.
Taylor, someone's waiting for you.
[Christine] Okay.
You really a driver?
I showed you my card, didn't I?
Got any ID?
Are you serious?
Here is my health card.
Who sent you?
Jimmy.
Jimmy posted my bail?
And you work for him?
I guess.
You guess?
What does that mean?
- Look,
Jimmy just told me to be here for 10:00 PM
to give someone a ride.
Malcolm.
You're Malcolm, right?
All right then.
Okay.
D one is for drive.
Exactly how long you've
been driving for Jimmy?
- Not long.
- Mm-hmm.
[Christine] Shit.
Oh, we damn sure ain't doing this.
Build strong and they
can never break you
But dig yourself two graves
And may the devil take you
Made new drugs got me higher than K2
A game of chess so we let
the drama play through
Give praise with praise due
Guillotine, darth flago
from the shark NATO
Checking nparts,
keep the heart stable
Well trained in the art fatal
Bishop and star cable
peaked the new wave
Eddie and priest that you two ways
Third eye had shot
nlike eco new waves
He got the force in 'em
He kind of smoothed one up.
He got that raw feeling,
Tony Award winning
And yo, we all living
academy, all chilling
Laying back puff grass
like the mob villain
He got the force in him
He kind of smooth, but
got that raw feeling
Tony Award winning
And yo, we all living academy
I got jerky.
Are you the fox?
What?
You heard me, goddammit,
are you the fox?
I'm Christine.
All right, Christine,
maybe you could tell me why
there's a loaded gun in
the glove box of your car.
A gun that looks like it was here
just to blow my brains
all over this parking lot.
That is, if I didn't find it
before you had a chance
to shoot me in the face.
Goddammit, I asked you a question
and I ain't moving this gun
until you give me an answer.
Look, I don't wanna shoot you, okay?
I've never killed anyone before in my life
and this isn't even my car.
This is Jimmy's car.
He told me to pick you up
and so that's what I did and
I'm sorry that I talk so much
and that I only do that when I get nervous
and I'm sorry that I made you drive
and I just wanted to get some beef jerky
and a blueberry Slushy.
I think I just peed myself.
Who's the fox?
Two years ago,
Jimmy planned a bank job.
Three-man gig.
Big Ben and Johnny
Knuckles took the place.
Double Dave would drive the
getaway, the take was 70Gs.
Jimmy sat out, but would
get 20 for planning.
Boys tossed the rest up themselves,
but this was before Jimmy was Jimmy.
So they thought, fuck Jimmy, and split.
Four days later they find
Dave, Johnny and Ben dead.
One in the head, one in
the chest, execution style.
And they were all in their underwear.
Jimmy did that?
No, see Jimmy ain't hard like that.
Plus they know what Jimmy look like.
So even if Jimmy find them,
he don't make it through the door
without one of them
popping a cap in his ass.
The person who came for them,
they never seen that cat before.
And whoever it was got inside that room
without any of them
thinking he was a problem.
That is until he gutted
them like stuck pigs.
And the motherfucker done it
without making the mess of the place.
So he fast, smooth,
tricky, and cunning as
A fox.
So he sends a ride to pick me up
to make sure I get to my place
and make sure I stay there tonight.
Well, that's exactly where we ain't going.
What?
You said Jimmy told you to call him
at his place tonight if
I went anywhere, right?
Yeah.
Well, that's the one
place that we know for sure
Jimmy's gonna be tonight.
That's where we going.
Okay, one sec.
Where the heck you going?
To get a refill.
Get your skinny ass back in the car.
Okay.
You know you get a free refill
with a large cup, right?
[Malcolm] So this the place?
Yep.
Thought you said he'd be home.
Ain't no lights on or nothing.
Maybe he's upstairs.
Ain't no lights on upstairs neither.
Well, maybe he's in the bathroom.
Look, are you sure
we at the right house?
Yes, I already told you
this is Jimmy's place.
All right, all right, shit.
Just making sure.
So what's the plan?
I'm gonna go talk to him.
Talk to him?
What does that mean?
You know, go straighten
this whole mess out with me
and Vincent that got all fucked up.
What's the gun for?
In case he don't feel like talking.
Can I have the keys?
Why?
Oh, I don't know because
Jimmy told me to drive you home
and keep you there, and if
Jimmy walks out that door
and sees me sitting
here, I'm totally fucked.
Just hide in the
backseat till I get back.
What? No! No, no way.
Like what If someone sees me?
You know what, I'm not
hiding in no backseat
waiting for someone to come find me.
[Malcolm] You ain't getting the keys.
Lock me in the trunk.
Say what?
Yeah, lock me in the trunk,
because that way if Jimmy
or someone else comes by
and sees me, then I'll just be like,
you roughed me up a little
bit and put me back there.
You white girls are
into some kinky shit.
Shit.
Ain't the first time I
locked someone in the trunk,
and you damn skinny enough to fit,
so, all right, let's do it.
All right, this is it.
Now, when you get in there
and I close this down,
it's gonna be a little scary.
Just don't think about
it and you'll be fine.
Listen, what I said before,
you all right, Christine.
Wallace.
Christine Wallace.
It was nice to meet you, Malcolm.
Taylor.
Malcolm Taylor.
Ah, fuck, Vincent.
Oh.
[Jimmy] Is it done?
Yeah, it's done.
[Jimmy] Both of them?
Uh-huh.
Anyone talk?
Vincent.
They said they were
gonna give him 15 years,
he couldn't do the time.
Mm-hmm.
And Malcolm?
No.
[Jimmy] Then why?
What the fuck?
I know how you feel about loose ends.
All right.
Take the rest of the night off.
You've earned it.
Thanks, Jimmy.
This sure ain't gonna help those rumors.
Woo-hoo, I'm gonna get ya down
Get ya down, baby
I'm gonna get ya down
Get ya down, baby
Mm, but I mean
But I've been waiting
I've been waiting to take ya out
I got a feel, oh
You're not gonna take
it all out on me, oh
Gonna have to take it, take it
Take it all out on me, oh
I'll get ya down
I'll get ya down
Ooh, I'll get ya
I'll get ya down
I'll get ya down
Whoa
Yeah, I'll be right back.
Christine.
Hi, Ray.
Hi.
Haven't seen you down here in a while.
I know.
[Ray] You're working again.
Yeah.
That what I think it is?
Seven liter V8.
She's fucking beautiful.
With the Chrome finish too.
Don't see a lot of those around anymore.
Where'd you find it?
The docks.
Original.
Almost.
Almost.
Eight track's ripped out the dash.
Someone tried to put in a CD player.
CDs.
JF.
JF.
This is Christine.
She's been with us a long time.
Almost one of the family.
Ain't that right, Christine?
Jimmy's personal
Swiss Army Knife.
Well, don't just stand
there like a fucking mute.
Ain't you gonna say something?
Don't mind him, he's French.
You
could learn a lot from
someone like this, huh?
Look at the fucking beauty
she brought us, huh!
So, how's she drive?
Like a dream.
Nice.
Remember that '76 LeSabre you brought in?
Uh-huh.
How'd that work out for you?
Fine.
That's a red
- Red velvet.
- Velvet.
- Interior.
- Interior.
Don't see many of those in
the, you can't smoke in here.
[Victim] Ah, fuck. No.
You know the two-door
coupe is custom, right?
What'd you like best about her?
Big trunk.
That's right.
Huh.
A real boulevard cruiser.
They sure don't make
'em like that anymore.
[Victim] Ah my fucking leg.
Excuse me a minute.
[Victim] No, no, no.
I have people looking for me.
[Ray] A 68 original.
And you rip out the 8-track.
No
It's a fucking 8-track.
What the fuck is that?
- You fuck!
JF!
JF.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right now?
Okay.
Jimmy?
Yeah. Let's go.
Listen, dip shit.
I don't give a shit if
you showed him the order.
I don't give a shit if
you looked in the bag.
I don't care if Tim and
his mom jump in the bag
and swim around in my fucking
sandwich for 30 minutes.
You fucked up.
Lonnie, Lonnie, if it happens again,
I'm gonna come down there, do you hear me?
Every week, every week I
order from this fucking place,
Lonnie's next door.
You've been there?
I tell him roast beef, lightly toasted,
mustard and extra pickles.
You know what he gives me?
This fucking guy.
He gives me one goddamn pickle, one,
and he's got the nerve to
tell me he put more in there.
Well, I sure as shit
don't see any, do you?
Do you know why we're here?
The Malcolm and Vincent situation.
Done.
Apparently not.
Charleston County weren't too happy
with their boy going missing,
especially after he'd done a job for us,
or more specifically, me.
So what? Charleston's a long ways away.
Well, that's not the point.
You were hired to do a job clean
and that wasn't the case.
From our bookies three nights ago.
Smiling Sammy.
Yeah, he wasn't smiling that night.
They took the place for 100K.
100K Seems like a lot.
Double the Malcolm and Vincent job.
It's payback.
Like they were trying
to send us a message.
So what'd we do?
Oh, we sent one back.
Baseball Joe.
Huh.
I've heard of him.
He chainsawed a guy in half
for getting drunk at his sister's wedding.
[Victim] No, please!
Aah!
Right, Joe from the Schwa.
Why do they call him Baseball Joe
if he chainsaws people in half?
That's who you got?
Joe is effective,
reliable, and best of all, affordable.
Yeah, but unfortunately,
discretion's not his forte.
Sounds like a colossal fucking mess.
Yeah. Two bodies so far.
The money's missing,
and we haven't heard
from this maniac since.
So you don't know where he is?
Last time he checked in,
he called from this number.
So you want me to take care of him?
Jesus. Are you deaf, huh?
Am I speaking Chinese?
Tell me, what the fuck did I say?
You taking care of things
is what got us in this
situation in the first place.
Anymore bodies, and you'll
bring the heat down on us,
and that's the last thing we need.
The only thing I care about is the money.
And since the last job wasn't exactly
a shining example of your reputation,
we're gonna call this cleanup.
Find the money,
get it back,
and I do mean discreetly.
I thought Joe had the money.
Then who does?
I said I'm in the bath, Mr. Randall.
[Mr. Randall] Seven
o'clock, I go for bingo now.
[Alex] Welcome back, this is Alex Hill.
It's only six. Doesn't
bingo start at eight?
Eight is too late,
Mrs. Chen, she's always there for six.
Why does that matter, Mr. Randall?
She cheats me.
[Alex] And Joanne from Toronto.
I'm sure no one's trying
to cheat you, Mr. Randall.
Crooked Mrs. Chen, she always wins.
How she always wins, cheating.
Isn't Mrs. Chen 87 years old?
And for God's sakes, Mr. Randall,
please stop spitting on our floor.
[Alex] Our next round is
open to all contestants.
We'll start with science for 200.
Name the biggest celestial
body in our solar system.
- The sun.
- Joanne again.
- What is Jupiter?
- That's right.
You sitting too close to that thing.
You're gonna go blind.
Babe, you're getting
soup for dinner, all right?
Oh wait, one more thing.
The hot water stopped
working. Can you fix it?
I fix, you pay your
bills, you get hot water,
you get cold water, you
get whatever you need.
Thank you, Mr. Randall.
I got for bingo now.
You pay me rent when I come back.
Soup coming up.
Jacob?
Jacob.
- Mom!
Okay. Okay, please.
No, no, no. Don't hurt him.
Don't hurt him.
I will do anything you want, okay?
Anything you want.
Please.
Water.
Okay, honey stay right there.
No cops!
- I got it. I got it.
- I'm not playing.
- Okay.
- No fucking cops.
Come here.
[Jacob] Mom!
Jacob.
Oh my gosh.
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Are you sure?
Did he hurt you?
Oh my gosh.
You're okay, you're okay, you're okay.
You think the kids saw it?
Ms. Monroe, you're
from Charleston originally,
aren't you, Ms. Monroe?
Mm-hmm.
Was he conscious when you found him?
Did he have any weapons,
ID, anything else on him?
I don't know.
We found another body a
couple blocks from here,
an associate of the deceased.
Whatever they were into went bad fast
and this house is now a crime scene.
You can't stay here.
But we got nowhere else to go.
Everything we have is in this house.
[Investigator] What if they come back?
Ms. Monroe.
Ms. Monroe.
Kate.
Kate.
[Kate] How you feeling?
Long drive, hey?
- Yeah.
- Do you wanna take a bath?
- Okay.
- Feel better.
Okay, good.
Cortez, come on in.
We're almost done here.
Sir.
Long way from property, Cortez.
Somebody lose their car keys?
You know Vinchensky?
Yep.
Well, listen, buddy, give
us a few minutes, will ya?
Sure, Chief.
By the way, Cortez, the next
time your date gets too rough,
just let the guy know that no means no.
Get the fuck outta here, Vinchensky.
Stupid prick.
Hope I wasn't interrupting.
No, not at all.
Just an update on the
Charleston boys case.
Any leads?
As a matter of fact,
take a look at that.
One of Ray's goons.
That's sack of shit chainsawed
some poor schmuck in half
at his sister's wedding.
I don't think this is
the guy I saw, Chief.
You sure?
Unfuckingbelievable.
We have four bodies and
not one single lead.
You know what, Cortez?
There was a job just like this, bank job.
Suspects got away with a lot of cash.
Three of them.
Funny thing.
Couple days later, we
find them in a motel room
dead in their underwear.
Yeah, all three of them
executed in their underwear.
Can you fucking believe that, Cortez?
In their underwear!
No money, no DNA, nothing.
You got a theory?
Sex fetish gone wrong?
Oh, for fuck sakes.
Not the hotel, the fucking case.
Just trying to help, sir.
I know. All right, I'm
gonna bring you in on this.
It's about time you cut your
teeth on some real police work.
So get back to that neighborhood,
ask around, and find me a witness.
You got it, sir.
Now get the fuck outta here.
We're just going to eat
lunch first and then we'll go.
Burgers, burgers, burger.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I'll be right back.
Don't forget to brush your tongue, okay?
Mm-hmm.
No, no.
Wow.
Hello?
[Bobby] Kate, Kate. It's Bobby.
Bobby.
- Everything okay?
- Mm-hmm.
What's wrong?
[Kate] Nothing.
You're breathing heavy.
No, we're fine.
I'm coming to get you.
- No.
- It's okay.
[Kate] Bobby.
Look, I can be there in a couple hours.
Bobby.
[Bobby] What's the name
of the motel you're at?
Bobby, you don't even have a car.
My friend's gonna give me a ride.
Look, just stop worrying
and just give me the name of the motel.
Just give me the address.
I can't
Bobby?
Yeah?
[Christine] You're not
getting that address.
Shit.
Who's this?
[Baseball Joe] You know who this is.
Yeah.
[Baseball Joe] You got
something that belongs to me.
Yeah?
[Baseball Joe] You need to come see me.
I don't think so.
[Baseball Joe] I think you do.
[Christine] What do you want?
[Baseball Joe] Bring
me the money. All of it.
And what? You'll let us go?
That's right.
If we don't?
Then you'll end up like Bobby here.
Well?
I'll think about it.
What happened to Bobby?
Bobby's dead.
What do you mean? I
was just talking to him.
Man on the phone has killed
lot of people looking for you.
Is he like you?
No. He likes baseball.
Are you
a ninja?
Who is he?
That's John Francois.
They call him LeBoucher.
Why is he trying to kill us?
Calm down. I can help.
Really? Is that what you call help?
Yeah.
Well, we don't need that kind of help.
Okay.
No, wait.
How can you help?
Well, for starters, getting rid of him
before he comes to,
unless you and the kid
think you can handle it.
Good.
We need to move, we can't stay here,
so grab everything you need
'cause we're not coming back.
Now.
Okay, okay.
There.
All done.
What now?
Don't worry about it.
Jesus, how could this get any worse?
He could be dead.
I need a drink, yeah.
I know a place.
Let's take your car.
Whose car is this?
There's this detective, Neil.
- Neil.
- Yeah.
White guy. Perfect beard.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think
he's gonna be much help.
[Kate] Why not?
Just a feeling.
Ah, here we go.
What the hell is this?
Moon room special.
Three Slushys for six bucks.
Where's my change?
You saw what I did to that guy, right?
I need a real drink.
She doesn't like it here very much.
You see that guy behind me?
That's Marcus Manning.
He's head of the Manning boys.
37 hits, 32 murder charges, all dropped.
Yeah, none of the witnesses
made it to the stand.
And you see that guy over there?
That's Skinny Steve.
He sells drugs.
Yeah, he just got out of
lockup like last week.
Skinny Steve has a thing for skinny girls.
That's probably why he's
checking out your mom.
It took me 10 minutes to get a drink
and it's watered down, great.
Damn, you got a nice set
of sticks on you, woman.
What do you say we have a dance?
- No thanks.
- Come on.
No, let's have a dance.
- I said no.
- Let's go.
I know who you are.
I got no beef with you.
Nice shirt.
You want a drink?
Sure.
You spying on me?
Shouldn't you be asleep?
Well, I'm going to bed.
Why do you kill people?
It's my job.
You don't feel bad?
No.
Why?
Everyone's gotta die sometime.
Do you ever talk to them?
Who?
The people.
Why?
To make friends.
Maybe if they were your friends,
then you don't have to kill them.
I don't really have any friends.
But, I'm your friend.
Yeah?
All right, kid.
But you can't tell my mom
because I think she'll be mad.
Okay.
Promise?
I promise.
Can I go to sleep now?
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Your friend can sit.
He prefers to stand.
This place is a dump.
Well, we're sorry.
We didn't really wanna bring you down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's cut the bullshit, okay?
This don't look like no impound lot.
And you two sure as shit
don't look like your average traffic pigs,
so why don't you just
get the fuck on with it
and stop acting like a pair of cunts.
These the papers we gotta sign?
1968 Mercury Cougar.
Ivy green, parked overnight outside
of Barbara's restaurant in the alleyway,
which is a tow away zone.
I own the restaurant.
Oh, you do?
Yeah, and the car's never
been a problem before.
Alley is city property.
I don't remember asking
you a goddamn thing.
Be that as it may,
the car is in your name.
It's my mother's.
Your mother drives a 1968 Cougar.
Must be quite a gal.
Now, I just need you to sign right there
and we can get the release processed.
That's a tough neighborhood.
There's a pawn shop down the street.
They had a little trouble
a couple of nights ago.
What's the name of that
joint again? It's...
- Sammy's, Chief.
- That's it, yeah.
Right, Sammy's, smiling Sammy.
Yeah, we got a couple
of calls about some guys
trying to rip the place off.
Hey, you can't smoke in here.
Anyway, we sent a couple of
units down to check it out.
You know what's funny is that
when they spoke to Sammy,
he didn't know a goddamn thing.
You think I do?
I don't know.
A restaurant that you own
in the same neighborhood,
place that you frequent from time to time.
Maybe you heard something,
anything suspicious.
You see, detective, I
look around, you know,
and I see cops that have lost their way.
Their ignorance is contagious.
They go around infecting
each other like a plague.
It's disgusting.
Now, liberty, freedom,
free speech, opportunity.
You work hard and the world can be yours.
That idea seems to be drifting
further and further away.
You know, it's like a light
drifting away in the fog.
Well, Cortez here was
assisting in the investigation,
and the day after Sammy's
place got ripped off,
he followed two of the
suspects to a house.
And when he went back
there, he found two bodies,
one shot and one, well, not so lucky.
And guess what?
He also found the landlord
in the same house,
also very dead.
And last, and this is where it gets
a little bit personal for me.
A police detective with his neck broken.
Fortunately, Cortez here
was first on the scene
and he got a glimpse of
one of the assailants.
As we speak, we're running fingerprints
off the evidence that we found.
They should be ready and what?
- 48 hours, Chief.
- 48 hours.
You know, detective, the
thing about people and rules
is you can only push so
far before they push back.
Is that a threat, Jimmy?
Oh, Chief.
Don't forget, if you're gonna hassle me
about a parking ticket again,
call my fucking lawyer.
Let's go, Boots.
Witnesses have identified
a tan blue pickup truck
leaving the scene at the
time of the incident.
The same blue pickup truck
was seen at a triple homicide
in Durham County, leaving three dead,
including one on duty homicide detective.
Police are refusing to
comment at this time.
We need to talk.
This has gotten way out of hand.
I mean, leaving for a
few weeks is one thing,
but that man last night,
you, my brother Bobby,
we need to go to the police.
Just turn the money-
Kate.
Straighten this whole thing out.
[Christine] Kate.
Please, I need to keep Jacob safe.
The man who's coming
for you can't be begged,
bought, or reasoned with.
He has no compassion, fear, or remorse.
And once he catches up,
I'll be the only thing
standing between him and
a bullet in Jacob's head.
And I'm getting tired of babysitting.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
The money.
Maybe there's another way.
I give you the money and you kill Joe.
Come again?
That's your job, right?
You kill people for money.
Well, I've got 100,000 and it's yours
if you kill the piece of
shit who murdered my brother.
I don't think so.
Why not?
Not part of my contract.
If you kill Joe, this all goes away.
[Christine] It's not that simple.
It is to me.
Not a good move, Kate.
Once you cross that line,
the rest of your life,
you'll be looking over your shoulder.
That's not much different
than right now, is it?
Look, you want the money, okay,
but I'm not just handing it over,
I'm buying something with it.
You want me to trust you?
You have to do something for me,
something the police can't.
All right.
All right, so we have a deal.
[Christine] Have the
money ready when I get back.
Hold on a second.
One more thing.
The mom and the kid, get rid of them.
I thought you said no more bodies.
Well, that's before you took out a cop
and sent half a Durham
PD crawling up my ass.
You're slipping.
Is this gonna be a problem?
No.
Okay, well, call this number
back when the job's done
and leave a message on the machine.
What's the message?
[Jimmy] The divorce is final.
Oh.
Jimmy, Jimmy, please, I
didn't do anything, Jimmy.
What the fuck? Are you sorry?
- Yeah.
- You're sorry?
You steal from me and
you say you're sorry.
No, I didn't steal.
You shit.
I didn't steal from you Jimmy.
I didn't steal anything.
I didn't steal anything.
Fuck, his head came off.
I wanna make sure this goes
exactly the way it should.
You understand?
[Sportscaster] Wearing
glasses, it gets tuned up a bit.
We're in the third inning
and it's almost halftime.
Ssh.
[Sportscaster] Everything
that's happened so far
that you'd expect to
happen on a ball field.
All right.
Come on, motherfucker.
Let's go. Let's go!
[Sportscaster] He looks him over.
He starts this wind up, here's the pitch.
Strike two.
- Oh, fuck!
Fucking cocksucker.
- Two strikes, one ball.
- What the hell is this?
It's strike two.
[Sportscaster] And here's the next one.
Ball a little high. One, two.
What the fuck!
I was sent by a mutual friend.
Nobody, I mean fucking
nobody turns off my radio.
And you with that shit
kicking look on your face
look like less than any
fucking body I know.
Now give me one good reason why I don't
smash your brains all over my window.
Take this piece of wood out of my face
and I'll let you walk outta
here with your tiny little head.
Crazy bitch.
Jimmy said you were good.
You got the money?
It's coming.
And the marks?
Covered.
No, fuck, no!
I ain't missing out on that action,
not after all the fucking work I done.
Action?
10K each came down
from Jimmy this morning.
Oh.
She didn't know.
Tell you what, you just
give me the address and
me and Christy here, we'll do 'em both.
I'll even cut you in on the action.
What do you say?
You name the bats?
What is that, some kind of psycho shit?
Nah, it's sentimental.
Kids?
Strippers.
So, we got a deal?
I'll take care of it.
You sure?
'Cause it sure as shit
doesn't sound like a home run
from where I'm sitting.
Listen dick head, when the
time comes, I'll do 'em both.
You keep the action.
You expect me to buy that.
Ain't buying nothing,
that's just how it is.
Come on.
That's how it is.
Okay.
Fuck it.
All right.
Good. Till then, stay outta my way.
All right, baby.
Mommy's just gonna run in
for a quick couple of minutes, okay?
- Okay.
- No, no, you stay here.
Don't leave the car.
Okay?
Why?
Keep the doors locked.
Don't open them for anyone.
You heard me? This is important, okay?
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
I just need to grab something.
Just draw me a picture
while I'm gone, okay?
No.
Shit.
Okay.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Crashing. You?
Looking for JF.
Where the fuck you been
the last five days?
Been working.
Yeah, I can see that.
[Baseball Joe] Its
empty, I already checked.
Let's check again
Fuck.
Just be cool.
Don't do anything stupid.
Me?
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Hey, officer.
It's detective.
Ooh, is that right?
What brings you two here?
Ooh, we were just
Crashing.
Is that right?
So if I go in there, that's
what they're gonna tell me?
Yeah.
You're Baseball Joe, right?
Bon Voyage Hotel. Code eight, code eight.
You guys wait here until I get back.
Okay.
Okay, let's get the fuck outta here.
What about the room?
Are you fucking dense?
This place is gonna be crawling with cops.
Fuck this, I'm outta here.
You're a fucking lunatic, you know that?
You better fix this fucking mess!
You got it?
Ms. Monroe, are you in there?
Ms. Monroe? This is the police.
Joe, put it down!
No.
- Get in there.
- No.
Let him go.
- You stay the fuck back.
Let him go.
Shut the fuck up.
Where's the money?
I don't have any money.
You don't have the money?
I will splatter his fucking
brains all over my truck.
No, please, please.
Then go get me the money.
I can get it. I can get it.
- Got get it now!
- It's not here.
Oh, it's not here. Okay,
kid, close your eyes.
No, I can't get it, I promise.
- Mom!
- You shut the fuck up.
Please. I'll get it for you.
It's just I don't have it, I promise.
- Yeah?
- I promise.
All right, because now
I have something you want.
Old mill scrap yard, midnight.
Say it!
Old mill scrap yard, midnight.
That wasn't so hard, was it? Bye.
Fuck, Jacob.
Jacob.
He's got Jacob.
- What?
- He's got Jacob.
- Who?
- Joe.
This is all my fucking fault.
Okay, you need to calm down.
What if he hurts him?
[Christine] He's not gonna hurt him.
How do you know that?
Because he wants the money.
Tell me you have it.
Yes, I have the money.
[Christine] Where is it?
Please, please, I just wanna see my son.
I just need my son back.
You have my word, I'll give you the money,
but I just, I need my son back.
Please, please.
Do you know where he is?
Old mill scrap yard.
You're sure?
Oh God. He must be so scared.
He had a fever this morning.
You need to stay calm.
Okay?
Do you wanna stay here or
do you wanna come with me?
I need a minute.
Do you wanna stay here or
do you wanna come with me?
I wanna come with you.
Good.
Let's go.
[Kate] This place looks
like a fucking graveyard.
[Christine] It is.
There was a fire in the
hangar 10 years back.
The whole place went up
in smoke. No survivors.
Couldn't sell it after that,
so the city turned it into this.
The runway goes back about three miles.
Three miles of graveyard.
You are late.
I was starting to think
that you didn't want
the little shit back.
I wanna see my son.
Ah, bitch, you don't
seem to fucking comprehend
how this works.
You get the money, we get the kid.
Okay, that's the deal.
It's funny, 'cause
that's not the fucking deal
that I remember.
Well, that's the deal now.
No.
That is not okay!
How about we make a new deal, okay?
I'm gonna come down there,
I'm gonna kill the both of you,
then I'm gonna take the
money and I'm gonna go,
and before I fucking leave
that kid buried in a goddamn ditch,
I'm gonna tell him
that I had to bash his mama's brains in
just because she was a fucking pain.
A goddamn pain in my ass!
[Christine] Kate!
[Baseball Joe] Your friend ain't coming.
It's just you and me now.
Ah.
You see, little girl,
your first mistake was taking this job.
I told those greasy fucking
wops that I had this covered.
Baseball Joe!
But no, they had to
call in the big bad fox.
Well.
You ain't so bad, are ya?
No.
Oh, fuck.
Poor, poor little baby fox.
You don't even know who
you're dealing with, do you?
I'm the biggest, meanest
fucking dog in the yard.
Yeah, I'm a rabid hound.
And you know what hounds do?
We hunt foxes.
Yeah.
We fucking maim 'em.
You know what?
If it wasn't for your fucking dumb ass
dragging this whole thing out,
Jimmy wouldn't have even
have upped the score to 20K,
which is fucking beautiful for me
'cause that means I'm
gonna buy myself a beast
of a fucking truck and
I'm gonna haul my ass
down to the stadium in class
and I'm gonna watch the
fucking Yankees get smashed.
Whoa!
Oh, I can't wait.
Front row seats.
What, you got a little more?
Should I put my hands behind my back?
Yeah come on.
Yeah, you like that?
The divorce, it's final.
You know what?
I really like you, you crazy bitch.
Any last words?
You bark more than any bitch I know.
All right, Charlene, let's do this.
That's for Bobby, you son of a bitch.
Don't you two bitches ever die?
Do it.
Come on. Do it.
Do it. Come on.
Come on!
Oh, Jacob, baby, come here.
Oh my gosh, come here.
Are you okay?
Are you sure?
Did he hurt you?
Oh my gosh, baby, are
you okay? I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, I got you now, okay
I got you.
- Mom.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Look, look, I know we had a deal,
but I don't have the money.
I swear I'm not lying.
You don't have to kill us.
You heard what he said.
They paid Joe to take you out.
Of course, you heard.
You heard it all.
Wait in the car, babe.
Do it!
The money for Joe, that
was the deal, right?
You didn't take care
of Joe, did you? I did.
The way I see it, you owe me.
Stop.
[Kate] Let us go.
That's not gonna happen.
You lying bitch.
Careful.
All that talk about your
contract protecting us.
It was all bullshit.
You don't care. You never did, did you?
You're just a sad, angry,
little empty shell.
Tell me everything I
said isn't true, say it.
You kill us, you're no better than Joe.
Don't do that.
I told you, I don't have the money.
I know.
Mom!
You're bleeding.
That's for calling me a bitch.
Christine!
In front of the kid too, not cool.
Help us!
You know the number.
Address is on the sign out front.
What are you waiting for? Go.
The money's coming with me
and that's how it's gonna be.
So as far as I'm
concerned, the job is done.
You had it the whole time.
Next time find a better hiding spot.
Now, there's gonna be a
lot of people asking you
about what happened here today,
and in case you get any ideas,
just remember
that I can always come back
and we can do this the other way.
They're coming.
Good.
See you around, kid.
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Tie up some loose ends.
That's okay. I'm fine, okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Jesus, Vinny.
Found him this morning. Shot to shit.
And you thought it'd be a good idea
to show me this before my breakfast?
It happened in a scrap
yard off Atlantic Boulevard,
boy we ran a print off one of the guns.
Came back with a match.
Baseball Joe?
That's right.
Son of bitch had sex with his
own sister at her wedding.
Still no sighting since
the fireworks last night?
No, sir.
Looks like our boy's
trying to beat the heat.
He's trying to lay low.
I mean, that'd be the smart thing to do.
It would.
But this kind of brutality,
the appetite for destruction,
it's not the kind of thing
you can just turn off.
No, I don't think we're
gonna have to wait too long.
Our boy's gonna strike again, soon.
I don't wanna take it from you.
You're my buddy. Why
would I take your money?
Let play for fun.
As long as you do the job.
Jimmy, what are you doing,
stacking the cards for me or what?
- Let's see.
- Give me a couple.
Shit, what am I doing
with these spades.
- All right.
- Very good.
What the fuck is this? Huh?
You can't afford to dress properly?
Huh?
Sorry, Jimmy.
- Studs.
- Yeah.
Hey.
No.
Hello, Jimmy.
Do you know why I'm here?
You hired me to do a job
and then you tried to have me killed.
You were going soft.
You put the job and all of us at risk.
It wasn't personal.
It was to me.
[Jimmy] Do something.
Never send a rabbit to kill a fox.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Now, we're friends.
We're friends.
We're friends.
Now listen, I got a
1969 Chevelle downstairs
with a 454 big block.
And I don't think I'm gonna
be needing it anymore.
What do you say?
Friend.
