Deadly Past (1995) Movie Script
No, wait.
Well, I'll tell you right now.
All third violin concerto.
Hell hole.
Yeah, hang on. Luke!
Hello,
Wherever.
You're looking kind of bored, honey.
How about parking it over here and
keeping me company?
I'm busy.
Hey, come on.
What's the matter, huh?
What's the matter?
Come on.
Leave me alone.
Hey, she's not interested, all right?
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Come on.
Come on.
What's the matter?
She's not interested.
How do you know, you yellow faggot?
Come on, man.
Cool it.
You think you can take my ass,
huh?
Just cool down, all right?
You gotta be kidding.
Go home.
Blow it out your asshole.
It worked, all right?
Huh?
It worked.
What would you have done, huh?
If that guy called your buff would.
Have waited for you to hit him
with the bat?
That's what I would have done.
Yeah.
Can I get you something?
I used to sing here.
This place is really happening.
Packed every night.
Hello, Luke.
Hello, Sandra.
You know, I remember a girl in these
photos
who used to come in here
quite often.
I thought she was living happily ever
after.
It's just in fairy tales.
What are you doing here?
I still really love this place.
Do you want me to leave?
No.
So how about a friendly little
kiss hello?
So, what can I get you?
I have white wine.
Luke, I stopped coming to visit you
because I didn't think you wanted me
to see you that way.
I did my time, and now it's over.
Do you have a shot of gold like we
used to?
I'm afraid we're out of that.
But, uh, we have this.
No ice.
What are you drinking?
A coke.
Diet.
Hey, there wasn't a lot of booze
down on Terminal Island.
I cleaned up my act.
It's the past.
Something about the nights downtown.
Is that your car?
Yeah.
It's a nice car.
Thanks.
You lucky it's still here.
I'm insured.
My husband protects his investments.
I'm glad you dropped by.
Well, I hadn't forgotten, Luke,
even if you thought I had.
Well, I'm glad you found someone.
Yeah.
We should all get together.
I'd love to meet Karen.
Her name's Kirsten.
Kirsten.
Sorry.
She'll be back next week.
Great.
Well, what are you doing here?
Well, you did say to keep in touch.
Well, you could have given me a ride.
Do you, um, mind if I come up?
Yeah, sure.
You like those?
It's really beautiful.
Kirsten did them
Where is this?
Nowhere yet.
Kirsten designed that for me.
How much is it gonna cost?
About half a million.
She's very talented.
Must be great to earn a living
off your imagination.
Actually, those sketches are just her
hobby.
She makes a living making
those models.
I never know that
I see two people having sex.
You and Kirsten.
Be careful with that.
They're really fragile.
You know?
I think you need air conditioning
in here.
You know,
sometimes two people,
even when they're apart,
they're not.
I think he gave me two.
I do the same again.
Look at it closely
Out of it.
Mostly
yesterday's story.
Remember the last time I wore
this jacket?
How could I forget?
That was a long time ago.
It's all right.
So there she was, all dressed up in
your motorcycle vest with nothing
to ride.
Yeah, well, it wasn't like that.
Yeah, right.
I can't believe you're doing
this again.
Doing what?
Doing what?
Yeah.
You know, Leo, I gotta tell you.
I think, pal, you fell for the same
thing every guy's fallen for since we
were all slime molds slithering
up from the ocean.
Then what's that?
Men think with their small heads.
Women know that.
Especially women like Sandra Becker.
Her name is Morgan now.
Yeah, if she was bad news then.
She's bad news now.
Leo, you didn't even know her.
Somebody I knew of her.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you guys had a hot banish.
You fucked it up.
You were jumped out together dealing.
She was reckless.
She got busted and you took the wrap.
It wasn't her fault.
I mean, I was so whacked out at the
time, I didn't even know what I was
doing and besides.
Anyway, that was
was a long time ago.
Bury the past, Luke.
You gotta move on.
That's what I'm doing.
You got a good thing going on with
Kirsten, so forget about Sandra.
It's down a half to eight.
What's the rush?
The stock's gonna move up.
Look, Matt wants to sell.
Okay.
Why don't you have Matt give
me a call?
I'll tell him your reservations when
he gets back from the desert.
In the meantime, handle it.
You want me to wire the money to the
Antilles account?
Yes.
All right.
Sandra, hurry up and give me
that drink.
I'd rather have a vodka and tonic.
With lots of ice.
It's so hot in here.
Honey, where are you?
Oh, it's lovely.
Come on in.
The water's beautiful.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Darling.
Come on in.
Come on.
Get your clothes off.
You know, I think I'll have a beer
instead.
Hello?
Hello?
I know you're in there.
I know what you did.
Half a million dollars.
I'll be in touch.
Who is this?
It resides inside of us.
God's love radiates within us
and lives within us.
Within us.
Even as we fall.
Even as we fall, God's love
rises within us.
But we do not feel God.
We do not feel God's love.
We do not seek because we are blind.
We're blinded by that which
Hello?
Hello?
That which mistakenly believes that
it is a power greater than the power
of God, my friends, there is no
power greater than the power of God.
There is no power greater than
the power of God.
Hello.
Luke.
Hi.
Something's happened.
What's wrong?
I need your help.
Of course.
Come over.
I'll be right over.
What's wrong?
I didn't have anybody else to call.
Well, what happened?
Where we going?
It's just in here.
He was waiting for me when
I got home.
He was drinking, and he went crazy.
He attacked me.
I had to defend myself.
Luke.
He found out about us.
You don't need me.
You need to call the cops.
I can't. Luke.
Please, you gotta help me.
You don't understand how it is.
He's well-connected, high profile.
Why would they believe me?
Why would they believe what a
monster he was?
So what are you saying, then?
I need you to help me get rid
of the body.
Luke, it can't be that hard.
He likes to go to the desert to
clear his head.
You think this guy's just gonna
vanish off the face of the earth?
Fine.
I'll report him missing.
I'll report him missing.
I'll say that I was supposed to hear
from him, and he didn't call me.
I'll say that I was supposed to hear
from him, and he didn't call me.
It can't be that easy.
The police are gonna suspect you.
Why?
Powerful attorneys always have
lots of enemies.
They'll have more suspects than
they know what to do with.
Sandra, I'm still on parole.
I'm
You're right.
I have no right to involve you.
I'm really sorry.
It wasn't even dead yet.
You know, Sandra, if you're gonna
kill somebody, at least make sure
he's dead.
It's not exactly like I'm an expert.
Is somebody out there?
No.
Well, I could use a little help.
Grab his feet.
Some shovels.
What are you doing now?
You had to write-off on something?
Boy, you think of everything,
don't you?
I think we're being followed.
It's nothing.
All right?
This is as good as any spot.
Are you just gonna sit there
and watch?
I can't believe we're doing this.
It's a little late for that now,
don't you think?
I think this is big enough.
You coming in?
I don't think so.
I don't feel like being by myself.
Look, wait a day and then report him
missing.
Come on.
Look, come in.
Can't you stay?
Come on.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
You know, just forget it.
Just forget about everything.
Jesus Christ, Kirsten, what are
you doing?
I missed you.
Well, you're home early.
I mean, I could have picked you up
from the airport.
Well, I wanted to surprise you.
Yeah?
I got good news.
What?
Mom said she'd come up with half the
money.
Yeah?
Mm hmm.
Well, that's great.
I guess all we have to worry about
now is coming up with the other half.
We'll get it.
Don't worry.
Oh, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Look, I'm just a little tired.
I didn't get very much sleep
last night.
Okay, then you rest
and I'll pick up a little.
So did
anything interesting happen
when I was gone?
No.
Why?
I don't know.
Kitchen's kind of a mess.
So who's over?
Just Leo.
No, honey, um, I can do that.
No, really, it's okay.
I'll do it.
No.
By the way, you still haven't fixed
the downstairs door.
Landlord said.
take it off the ramp, remember?
Yeah.
I mean, no.
I mean, I forgot.
Well, maybe we should just have
somebody else do it.
Hey, this is my mess.
I made it.
Let me clean.
Leo.
Man, I feel like such an asshole.
What are you gonna tell her?
That you got drunk and couldn't
keep it in your pants?
What the hell would that accomplish?
I don't know.
I mean, you know, she's always going
on about this honesty thing in the
relationship. I mean,
I wanna tell her.
I wanna tell her, but I'm scared.
It's too late for you, man.
What do you think she's gonna do,
huh?
She'll ram that old guitar of yours
up your ass and pluck the strings.
Besides, you're just trying to make
yourself feel better.
It ain't like it's gonna make her
love you anymore.
You know what I'm saying?
I guess I'll just have to learn to
live with it, right?
Hey, you.
Look who's here.
Hi, Luke.
Honey.
You should imagine Sandra come by.
Well, you can see how embarrassing
and traumatic the situation has been.
Listen, I understand, but victims are
not the ones who should be ashamed.
I ask Luke not to say anything.
I mean, not to you.
Honey, aren't you coming in?
You know, Lucas told me so much
about you guys in the old days.
This is great.
We can get acquainted.
Oh, honey, listen, I told Sandra she
could stay here for a few days until
she iron sings out with her husband.
I don't.
I don't think Luke really wants me
to stay here.
Hey, she's not going home.
I mean, obviously you have nowhere
else to go, and we're probably your
only friends that Matt really
doesn't know.
Thanks a lot.
No, don't worry about it.
It's fine.
Of course I've cleared it.
Are you questioning my authority?
Jesus Christ.
What the hell are you pulling?
Are you crazy?
Hold on a second, Tom.
Luke, can you see that I'm busy here?
I don't care how busy you are.
Do that at home where you should be
playing bridge or worrying about your
missing husband.
Don't worry.
Come here for a second.
I need some help.
I want an explanation.
Luke, can you take the chairs up
to the roof.
Tom, no, nothing.
Just the housekeeper.
We spend a lot of time in
the Caribbean.
Matt loves the Antilles.
There's this little place that we
go to for breakfast.
Had coffee and croissants to die for.
What are you doing?
So we're drinking again?
Yeah, you know, a little dessert.
Well, maybe I'll go make some coffee.
No, I hope you
No, really.
I should stay here and talk.
Why are you doing this?
It's creepy at my house.
I get nightmares.
I feel safe here with you.
Well, you didn't have to make
yourself over.
You like it?
What do you think?
You like it, don't you?
Come on, tell me.
Now you're treating us like it's
some sort of game.
I think we're beyond games,
don't you?
Luke, I love you.
I want it to be the way that it
always was.
It could never be that way.
Did you do it?
Of course, I did.
I called the police just like you
told me to.
Our plan.
What?
Our plan?
Well, wait a second.
There is no our plan.
You don't have to get so mad at me.
I'll want your ass out of here by
tomorrow.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Morning.
Good morning.
You died in your sleep last night.
Oh, yeah?
Anything interesting?
Mm hmm.
Good morning.
Sandra.
You didn't have to do that.
Nonsense.
There's nothing.
Cream and sugar?
Oh, yeah, a bit of cream, thanks.
Still black, Luke?
Yeah.
You going to join us?
Nope.
I got french toast cooking breakfast
in five minutes.
Well, we should probably get up.
Kirsten.
Hmm?
Listen,
I am okay with this.
Really.
I mean, I understand what she's going
through, her husband sounds exactly
like my father. And you know, my
mom, she had no one to go to, so it's
only for a couple of days until she
irons things out.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
By the way, I love you.
Let's eat.
It's terrible.
I do.
I do.
I haven't seen you here before.
You're very beautiful.
I'm happily married.
Hey, that's no problem.
I'm a family man myself.
Well, there's just no substitute for
good family values, is there?
Are you two gonna order or what?
Yeah.
You know what?
He's drinking alone.
There you are.
Hey.
Thought you were beginning a little
thirsty.
Thanks.
Cheers.
I really miss this.
Miss what?
Parties
used to hang out here.
Got an extra one of those.
Really?
Felt like we're in the middle of
something, you know?
Middle of what?
I don't know.
We were never able to figure
that one out.
Hell hole.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hang on.
Bring her.
Grab Sandra for me, will you?
When I performed, how you looked was
more important than how you sounded.
Boy, I'd never have enough guts to
get up on stage.
I never had enough guts to get one of
these.
Not a real one.
My father had lots of them.
He's a guitar player.
Traveled around with bands when I was
growing up.
Never really saw him much.
Sandra, you have a phone call.
Hello?
Hi there.
It's me, Matt.
I told you I'd keep in touch.
Who the fuck is this?
Time to pay.
I want to
Fuck you.
You're dead meat.
So who was it?
Matt?
I don't know how he found me here.
Can we get out of here?
Yeah, sure.
Hey, how you doing?
What can I get for you?
Fetish ice.
With a straw.
Fetish Ice with a straw it is.
Hey, I want to know a girl, right?
She loves joints like this.
You know those otzi fatsi types that
ain't got a pot to piss in?
Probably $6.
All she ever said was no.
Spent a Tennessee ditch
with suburban.
Luke ever tell you what
really happened?
It was only a couple grams.
He blames himself.
But anyway, next month he'll be
finished with his parole, and it'll
all be over.
That's really good.
Hmm.
Thank you.
What's this?
Oh, I made that for Luke.
I'm trying to get him interested in
music again.
Does he still play his guitar?
I've never heard him play.
He caught me once listening to one of
his old demos, and he got real
pissed off.
So then why the studio?
He wants to be a music producer.
He'd make a really good producer.
He was always the one with the ideas.
I'd like to get back to it myself.
Music, I mean.
I really miss it.
You know, when my divorce is final.
If you guys are looking for a
partner, I'd probably be looking for
business to get into.
Well, when the three of us are
together, we'll definitely have a
talk about that.
What do you think ?
I look mean.
No, you don't.
You look, sexy.
Thanks.
Hey.
Hey.
What the fuck do you think
you're doing?
I was waiting for you.
I couldn't hold any longer.
Hi, my name is Nick.
Like I told your honey,
Sandra, I'm telling you.
Half a million.
I don't know what you're
talking about.
Tired of her games.
I want my money.
Hey, I know where you got that.
Look, it's not as if we're talking
about your money.
All you got to worry about is going
back to prison.
And I hear they're really tough on
repeat offenders this year.
Hey,
come here.
Who the hell is Nick Bruno?
I think he worked for my husband.
You think?
He probably hired him to follow me.
He was a con man, a shyster,
some kind of private eye.
I don't know.
This guy says you owe him half
a million dollars.
What's this guy got on you?
Speak.
Come on.
What?
A tape.
What kind of tape?
A videotape
of us burying Matt's body.
Wait a second.
Of us?
I tried to keep you out of this loop.
I did everything I could.
All I got is a couple
thousand dollars.
Matt was
really into show.
We were really in debt.
The bank was gonna foreclose
on our house.
That's why it was up for sale.
Look, I didn't know what to do.
Gotta get that tape.
Kirsten, how long have you been
standing there?
Oh, long enough.
You son of a bitch.
Kirsten, let me explain.
Just shut up.
I don't believe this.
I
You fucked her, didn't you?
You're a fool.
Kirstin.
Look, Sandra doesn't mean
anything to me, okay?
Well, she meant enough for you to
help her bury her husband.
You're the best thing that's ever
happened to me in my life.
Then why'd you do it?
Because
I wasn't thinking straight and it
just happened.
So.
Did you do it?
What?
Did you kill him?
What do you think?
Yeah, I think you probably did.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm no killer.
Look, I love you.
Don't you love me?
You love me, damn it.
Luke, now you're probably gonna
go back to jail.
Leo.
Is she here, man?
Yeah, she's here.
I need to talk to her.
Give it some time.
She says she doesn't want to see you.
Come on, man.
I just want to talk to her.
Just leave me alone, Luke.
I got nothing to say to you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let me talk to her, all right?
Did you find her?
She'll get over it.
All right, where's this asshole live?
It could be 2209.
That must be it.
Which house?
The blue and white one over there.
Okay, here's what I want you to do.
If you see anything or hear anything,
one quick honk, one quick beep,
I'll be listening. Okay?
Is that it?
Luke.
Pull over.
What?
I said pull over.
Okay, okay.
I'm pulling over.
I said, get out.
Look out.
Will you stop it?
You're hurting me.
What?
I must be crazy.
Why?
What happened?
He's dead.
You shouldn't have tried.
Just forget it.
Forget it.
In fact, forget everything.
I wasn't even on the tape.
Get the hell out of my life.
Leo?
Kirsten?
Hello?
Kirstin.
Is that you?
Hi, Luke.
Who is this?
Hello, Luke.
Do you remember me?
Your girl, she's in a safe place.
Where is she, you motherfucker?
Put her on.
Don't worry.
You can blame yourself for all this.
You see what happens when you
play games?
Look, just don't hurt her.
She's not involved.
Look, the price has gone up
to 1 million.
That's six zeros, Luke.
And don't worry, Miss Morgan, she can
afford it.
No cops and no more games.
I don't even know where she is.
You better have it when I call back.
She's once my bitch, huh?
Look who's fucking who.
I've just come to get my stuff,
and then I'm out of here.
Don't worry.
I can't believe it.
You had the money all along?
It's my money.
Leo's dead and now he's got Kirsten.
My God.
How did this happen?
Our little plan screwed up.
He wants a million now.
Will you put that away?
I can't think when you're like this.
You don't have to think.
How much is in the case?
We're gonna need more.
That's all I got.
That's more than this guy's seen
in his entire life.
Do you think he's really gonna
count it?
Get the fuck out of here.
You heard me.
Put that gun down.
You really look ridiculous.
I said, get out.
Don't be stupid.
You can't handle him by yourself.
These hamburgers ain't bad.
No pickles though.
I hate pickles.
You thirsty?
Yeah.
Hey, don't drink too fast.
You'll get high.
I know.
Thank you.
You know, can I have some more?
That was awfully good.
It's really hot in here.
You know, actually, I think I would
like a little bite after all.
Sandwich?
Yeah, please.
No.
No, no.
Hello?
You got the money?
Yeah, we got it.
Good time we meet again.
This time, someplace special.
You been there before?
Matt's final resting place.
I love ironies.
You got 4 hours.
And one more thing.
Don't bring that bitch.
Hey, come back here.
Son of a bitch.
Where do you think you're going,
sweetheart?
Go home, Sandra, all right?
What is it?
You gotta get your car.
Like I said, you need me.
Fuck you.
I'm moving it right now.
Officer.
Sir.
You know who owns this van?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help you with that.
I feel sorry for your boyfriend.
He doesn't know the snake that
he's got hooked up with.
Her husband.
Matt is a really nice guy.
A lot of class.
Then he marries the two bit cocktail
waitress.
Poor schmuck.
She slams a crowbar through
her skull.
I love it.
I guess we're all getting a little
tired of this.
It's about that time.
I've been transferring Matt's money
down to the Caribbean.
What we're giving Nick today
is nothing.
I've got millions.
Enough for all of us.
You know, you should hear yourself.
You're pathetic.
I feel sorry for you.
You really fucked up big time.
I can make this up to you.
Just shut up.
You don't know how hard it's been
for me.
Save it for your next husband,
Sandra.
That's far enough.
I thought I told you not to bring the
bitch.
Forget it.
Hurry up.
Oh, and by the way, somebody got
really sloppy.
I bet the cops could get some really
nice prints off of that.
Miss Morgan here, she took out a
little insurance just in case things
didn't work out as she planned.
She always covers her ass.
The weapon.
Pass the weapon with your fingers.
Where is she?
I'm running this show.
Do it.
Maybe I should reconsider, huh?
I tell you, I wouldn't lose a whole
lot of sleep.
Let's see it.
Not till I see her.
All right.
Now speak.
Oh.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm okay.
She's all yours if you.
You still want her.
Pass me the money?
Let's put it this way.
Everything worthwhile has a price.
And I'd say you're getting away
pretty cheap.
But then again, there's never enough
for someone like you.
One day you'll
No, wait.
What's going on?
Hi, Nick.
Hi, babe.
You ain't got the balls.
Oh, yeah?
I always liked you.
Get me out of town.
I'm working on it, baby.
I'm working on it.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here.
Did you kill him?
You don't look so good.
I'm okay.
It's nothing.
Certainly no condition to travel.
Just get cussing out, please.
You heard lame horses, Luke.
Kinda can't ride anymore.
What are you doing?
No,
Just keep going.
Young man in his pride
young girl from the cry
most perfect of strangers.
And then the night closed,
holy ground
took care of everything.
She was a fine one
and he was a handsome man
one look was enough.
And away they ran,
I spent many happy hours
and then the night closed in
and the holy grass took care of
everything.
Oh, what's the use
in complaining?
In for a penny, in for a pound.
I remember
the loving times.
And nothing else
really count
and I recall the promise they
made with a faith I
can but admire I
that she'd be the one he adored
and he'd be her heart's desire.
It didn't come true in the end
they went their separate way.
He couldn't change what he wanted was
she wasn't ready to wait
they couldn't live in the daylight.
They let the night close in.
The Holy ground
took care of everything.
They couldn't live in the daylight.
Let the night close in,
the holy ground
took care of everything.
They couldn't live in the daylight.
Let the night close in
the holy ground
took care of everything.
I remember
the loving time
and nothing else
really counts.
Well, I'll tell you right now.
All third violin concerto.
Hell hole.
Yeah, hang on. Luke!
Hello,
Wherever.
You're looking kind of bored, honey.
How about parking it over here and
keeping me company?
I'm busy.
Hey, come on.
What's the matter, huh?
What's the matter?
Come on.
Leave me alone.
Hey, she's not interested, all right?
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
Come on.
Come on.
What's the matter?
She's not interested.
How do you know, you yellow faggot?
Come on, man.
Cool it.
You think you can take my ass,
huh?
Just cool down, all right?
You gotta be kidding.
Go home.
Blow it out your asshole.
It worked, all right?
Huh?
It worked.
What would you have done, huh?
If that guy called your buff would.
Have waited for you to hit him
with the bat?
That's what I would have done.
Yeah.
Can I get you something?
I used to sing here.
This place is really happening.
Packed every night.
Hello, Luke.
Hello, Sandra.
You know, I remember a girl in these
photos
who used to come in here
quite often.
I thought she was living happily ever
after.
It's just in fairy tales.
What are you doing here?
I still really love this place.
Do you want me to leave?
No.
So how about a friendly little
kiss hello?
So, what can I get you?
I have white wine.
Luke, I stopped coming to visit you
because I didn't think you wanted me
to see you that way.
I did my time, and now it's over.
Do you have a shot of gold like we
used to?
I'm afraid we're out of that.
But, uh, we have this.
No ice.
What are you drinking?
A coke.
Diet.
Hey, there wasn't a lot of booze
down on Terminal Island.
I cleaned up my act.
It's the past.
Something about the nights downtown.
Is that your car?
Yeah.
It's a nice car.
Thanks.
You lucky it's still here.
I'm insured.
My husband protects his investments.
I'm glad you dropped by.
Well, I hadn't forgotten, Luke,
even if you thought I had.
Well, I'm glad you found someone.
Yeah.
We should all get together.
I'd love to meet Karen.
Her name's Kirsten.
Kirsten.
Sorry.
She'll be back next week.
Great.
Well, what are you doing here?
Well, you did say to keep in touch.
Well, you could have given me a ride.
Do you, um, mind if I come up?
Yeah, sure.
You like those?
It's really beautiful.
Kirsten did them
Where is this?
Nowhere yet.
Kirsten designed that for me.
How much is it gonna cost?
About half a million.
She's very talented.
Must be great to earn a living
off your imagination.
Actually, those sketches are just her
hobby.
She makes a living making
those models.
I never know that
I see two people having sex.
You and Kirsten.
Be careful with that.
They're really fragile.
You know?
I think you need air conditioning
in here.
You know,
sometimes two people,
even when they're apart,
they're not.
I think he gave me two.
I do the same again.
Look at it closely
Out of it.
Mostly
yesterday's story.
Remember the last time I wore
this jacket?
How could I forget?
That was a long time ago.
It's all right.
So there she was, all dressed up in
your motorcycle vest with nothing
to ride.
Yeah, well, it wasn't like that.
Yeah, right.
I can't believe you're doing
this again.
Doing what?
Doing what?
Yeah.
You know, Leo, I gotta tell you.
I think, pal, you fell for the same
thing every guy's fallen for since we
were all slime molds slithering
up from the ocean.
Then what's that?
Men think with their small heads.
Women know that.
Especially women like Sandra Becker.
Her name is Morgan now.
Yeah, if she was bad news then.
She's bad news now.
Leo, you didn't even know her.
Somebody I knew of her.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you guys had a hot banish.
You fucked it up.
You were jumped out together dealing.
She was reckless.
She got busted and you took the wrap.
It wasn't her fault.
I mean, I was so whacked out at the
time, I didn't even know what I was
doing and besides.
Anyway, that was
was a long time ago.
Bury the past, Luke.
You gotta move on.
That's what I'm doing.
You got a good thing going on with
Kirsten, so forget about Sandra.
It's down a half to eight.
What's the rush?
The stock's gonna move up.
Look, Matt wants to sell.
Okay.
Why don't you have Matt give
me a call?
I'll tell him your reservations when
he gets back from the desert.
In the meantime, handle it.
You want me to wire the money to the
Antilles account?
Yes.
All right.
Sandra, hurry up and give me
that drink.
I'd rather have a vodka and tonic.
With lots of ice.
It's so hot in here.
Honey, where are you?
Oh, it's lovely.
Come on in.
The water's beautiful.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Darling.
Come on in.
Come on.
Get your clothes off.
You know, I think I'll have a beer
instead.
Hello?
Hello?
I know you're in there.
I know what you did.
Half a million dollars.
I'll be in touch.
Who is this?
It resides inside of us.
God's love radiates within us
and lives within us.
Within us.
Even as we fall.
Even as we fall, God's love
rises within us.
But we do not feel God.
We do not feel God's love.
We do not seek because we are blind.
We're blinded by that which
Hello?
Hello?
That which mistakenly believes that
it is a power greater than the power
of God, my friends, there is no
power greater than the power of God.
There is no power greater than
the power of God.
Hello.
Luke.
Hi.
Something's happened.
What's wrong?
I need your help.
Of course.
Come over.
I'll be right over.
What's wrong?
I didn't have anybody else to call.
Well, what happened?
Where we going?
It's just in here.
He was waiting for me when
I got home.
He was drinking, and he went crazy.
He attacked me.
I had to defend myself.
Luke.
He found out about us.
You don't need me.
You need to call the cops.
I can't. Luke.
Please, you gotta help me.
You don't understand how it is.
He's well-connected, high profile.
Why would they believe me?
Why would they believe what a
monster he was?
So what are you saying, then?
I need you to help me get rid
of the body.
Luke, it can't be that hard.
He likes to go to the desert to
clear his head.
You think this guy's just gonna
vanish off the face of the earth?
Fine.
I'll report him missing.
I'll report him missing.
I'll say that I was supposed to hear
from him, and he didn't call me.
I'll say that I was supposed to hear
from him, and he didn't call me.
It can't be that easy.
The police are gonna suspect you.
Why?
Powerful attorneys always have
lots of enemies.
They'll have more suspects than
they know what to do with.
Sandra, I'm still on parole.
I'm
You're right.
I have no right to involve you.
I'm really sorry.
It wasn't even dead yet.
You know, Sandra, if you're gonna
kill somebody, at least make sure
he's dead.
It's not exactly like I'm an expert.
Is somebody out there?
No.
Well, I could use a little help.
Grab his feet.
Some shovels.
What are you doing now?
You had to write-off on something?
Boy, you think of everything,
don't you?
I think we're being followed.
It's nothing.
All right?
This is as good as any spot.
Are you just gonna sit there
and watch?
I can't believe we're doing this.
It's a little late for that now,
don't you think?
I think this is big enough.
You coming in?
I don't think so.
I don't feel like being by myself.
Look, wait a day and then report him
missing.
Come on.
Look, come in.
Can't you stay?
Come on.
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
You know, just forget it.
Just forget about everything.
Jesus Christ, Kirsten, what are
you doing?
I missed you.
Well, you're home early.
I mean, I could have picked you up
from the airport.
Well, I wanted to surprise you.
Yeah?
I got good news.
What?
Mom said she'd come up with half the
money.
Yeah?
Mm hmm.
Well, that's great.
I guess all we have to worry about
now is coming up with the other half.
We'll get it.
Don't worry.
Oh, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Look, I'm just a little tired.
I didn't get very much sleep
last night.
Okay, then you rest
and I'll pick up a little.
So did
anything interesting happen
when I was gone?
No.
Why?
I don't know.
Kitchen's kind of a mess.
So who's over?
Just Leo.
No, honey, um, I can do that.
No, really, it's okay.
I'll do it.
No.
By the way, you still haven't fixed
the downstairs door.
Landlord said.
take it off the ramp, remember?
Yeah.
I mean, no.
I mean, I forgot.
Well, maybe we should just have
somebody else do it.
Hey, this is my mess.
I made it.
Let me clean.
Leo.
Man, I feel like such an asshole.
What are you gonna tell her?
That you got drunk and couldn't
keep it in your pants?
What the hell would that accomplish?
I don't know.
I mean, you know, she's always going
on about this honesty thing in the
relationship. I mean,
I wanna tell her.
I wanna tell her, but I'm scared.
It's too late for you, man.
What do you think she's gonna do,
huh?
She'll ram that old guitar of yours
up your ass and pluck the strings.
Besides, you're just trying to make
yourself feel better.
It ain't like it's gonna make her
love you anymore.
You know what I'm saying?
I guess I'll just have to learn to
live with it, right?
Hey, you.
Look who's here.
Hi, Luke.
Honey.
You should imagine Sandra come by.
Well, you can see how embarrassing
and traumatic the situation has been.
Listen, I understand, but victims are
not the ones who should be ashamed.
I ask Luke not to say anything.
I mean, not to you.
Honey, aren't you coming in?
You know, Lucas told me so much
about you guys in the old days.
This is great.
We can get acquainted.
Oh, honey, listen, I told Sandra she
could stay here for a few days until
she iron sings out with her husband.
I don't.
I don't think Luke really wants me
to stay here.
Hey, she's not going home.
I mean, obviously you have nowhere
else to go, and we're probably your
only friends that Matt really
doesn't know.
Thanks a lot.
No, don't worry about it.
It's fine.
Of course I've cleared it.
Are you questioning my authority?
Jesus Christ.
What the hell are you pulling?
Are you crazy?
Hold on a second, Tom.
Luke, can you see that I'm busy here?
I don't care how busy you are.
Do that at home where you should be
playing bridge or worrying about your
missing husband.
Don't worry.
Come here for a second.
I need some help.
I want an explanation.
Luke, can you take the chairs up
to the roof.
Tom, no, nothing.
Just the housekeeper.
We spend a lot of time in
the Caribbean.
Matt loves the Antilles.
There's this little place that we
go to for breakfast.
Had coffee and croissants to die for.
What are you doing?
So we're drinking again?
Yeah, you know, a little dessert.
Well, maybe I'll go make some coffee.
No, I hope you
No, really.
I should stay here and talk.
Why are you doing this?
It's creepy at my house.
I get nightmares.
I feel safe here with you.
Well, you didn't have to make
yourself over.
You like it?
What do you think?
You like it, don't you?
Come on, tell me.
Now you're treating us like it's
some sort of game.
I think we're beyond games,
don't you?
Luke, I love you.
I want it to be the way that it
always was.
It could never be that way.
Did you do it?
Of course, I did.
I called the police just like you
told me to.
Our plan.
What?
Our plan?
Well, wait a second.
There is no our plan.
You don't have to get so mad at me.
I'll want your ass out of here by
tomorrow.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Morning.
Good morning.
You died in your sleep last night.
Oh, yeah?
Anything interesting?
Mm hmm.
Good morning.
Sandra.
You didn't have to do that.
Nonsense.
There's nothing.
Cream and sugar?
Oh, yeah, a bit of cream, thanks.
Still black, Luke?
Yeah.
You going to join us?
Nope.
I got french toast cooking breakfast
in five minutes.
Well, we should probably get up.
Kirsten.
Hmm?
Listen,
I am okay with this.
Really.
I mean, I understand what she's going
through, her husband sounds exactly
like my father. And you know, my
mom, she had no one to go to, so it's
only for a couple of days until she
irons things out.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
By the way, I love you.
Let's eat.
It's terrible.
I do.
I do.
I haven't seen you here before.
You're very beautiful.
I'm happily married.
Hey, that's no problem.
I'm a family man myself.
Well, there's just no substitute for
good family values, is there?
Are you two gonna order or what?
Yeah.
You know what?
He's drinking alone.
There you are.
Hey.
Thought you were beginning a little
thirsty.
Thanks.
Cheers.
I really miss this.
Miss what?
Parties
used to hang out here.
Got an extra one of those.
Really?
Felt like we're in the middle of
something, you know?
Middle of what?
I don't know.
We were never able to figure
that one out.
Hell hole.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hang on.
Bring her.
Grab Sandra for me, will you?
When I performed, how you looked was
more important than how you sounded.
Boy, I'd never have enough guts to
get up on stage.
I never had enough guts to get one of
these.
Not a real one.
My father had lots of them.
He's a guitar player.
Traveled around with bands when I was
growing up.
Never really saw him much.
Sandra, you have a phone call.
Hello?
Hi there.
It's me, Matt.
I told you I'd keep in touch.
Who the fuck is this?
Time to pay.
I want to
Fuck you.
You're dead meat.
So who was it?
Matt?
I don't know how he found me here.
Can we get out of here?
Yeah, sure.
Hey, how you doing?
What can I get for you?
Fetish ice.
With a straw.
Fetish Ice with a straw it is.
Hey, I want to know a girl, right?
She loves joints like this.
You know those otzi fatsi types that
ain't got a pot to piss in?
Probably $6.
All she ever said was no.
Spent a Tennessee ditch
with suburban.
Luke ever tell you what
really happened?
It was only a couple grams.
He blames himself.
But anyway, next month he'll be
finished with his parole, and it'll
all be over.
That's really good.
Hmm.
Thank you.
What's this?
Oh, I made that for Luke.
I'm trying to get him interested in
music again.
Does he still play his guitar?
I've never heard him play.
He caught me once listening to one of
his old demos, and he got real
pissed off.
So then why the studio?
He wants to be a music producer.
He'd make a really good producer.
He was always the one with the ideas.
I'd like to get back to it myself.
Music, I mean.
I really miss it.
You know, when my divorce is final.
If you guys are looking for a
partner, I'd probably be looking for
business to get into.
Well, when the three of us are
together, we'll definitely have a
talk about that.
What do you think ?
I look mean.
No, you don't.
You look, sexy.
Thanks.
Hey.
Hey.
What the fuck do you think
you're doing?
I was waiting for you.
I couldn't hold any longer.
Hi, my name is Nick.
Like I told your honey,
Sandra, I'm telling you.
Half a million.
I don't know what you're
talking about.
Tired of her games.
I want my money.
Hey, I know where you got that.
Look, it's not as if we're talking
about your money.
All you got to worry about is going
back to prison.
And I hear they're really tough on
repeat offenders this year.
Hey,
come here.
Who the hell is Nick Bruno?
I think he worked for my husband.
You think?
He probably hired him to follow me.
He was a con man, a shyster,
some kind of private eye.
I don't know.
This guy says you owe him half
a million dollars.
What's this guy got on you?
Speak.
Come on.
What?
A tape.
What kind of tape?
A videotape
of us burying Matt's body.
Wait a second.
Of us?
I tried to keep you out of this loop.
I did everything I could.
All I got is a couple
thousand dollars.
Matt was
really into show.
We were really in debt.
The bank was gonna foreclose
on our house.
That's why it was up for sale.
Look, I didn't know what to do.
Gotta get that tape.
Kirsten, how long have you been
standing there?
Oh, long enough.
You son of a bitch.
Kirsten, let me explain.
Just shut up.
I don't believe this.
I
You fucked her, didn't you?
You're a fool.
Kirstin.
Look, Sandra doesn't mean
anything to me, okay?
Well, she meant enough for you to
help her bury her husband.
You're the best thing that's ever
happened to me in my life.
Then why'd you do it?
Because
I wasn't thinking straight and it
just happened.
So.
Did you do it?
What?
Did you kill him?
What do you think?
Yeah, I think you probably did.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm no killer.
Look, I love you.
Don't you love me?
You love me, damn it.
Luke, now you're probably gonna
go back to jail.
Leo.
Is she here, man?
Yeah, she's here.
I need to talk to her.
Give it some time.
She says she doesn't want to see you.
Come on, man.
I just want to talk to her.
Just leave me alone, Luke.
I got nothing to say to you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let me talk to her, all right?
Did you find her?
She'll get over it.
All right, where's this asshole live?
It could be 2209.
That must be it.
Which house?
The blue and white one over there.
Okay, here's what I want you to do.
If you see anything or hear anything,
one quick honk, one quick beep,
I'll be listening. Okay?
Is that it?
Luke.
Pull over.
What?
I said pull over.
Okay, okay.
I'm pulling over.
I said, get out.
Look out.
Will you stop it?
You're hurting me.
What?
I must be crazy.
Why?
What happened?
He's dead.
You shouldn't have tried.
Just forget it.
Forget it.
In fact, forget everything.
I wasn't even on the tape.
Get the hell out of my life.
Leo?
Kirsten?
Hello?
Kirstin.
Is that you?
Hi, Luke.
Who is this?
Hello, Luke.
Do you remember me?
Your girl, she's in a safe place.
Where is she, you motherfucker?
Put her on.
Don't worry.
You can blame yourself for all this.
You see what happens when you
play games?
Look, just don't hurt her.
She's not involved.
Look, the price has gone up
to 1 million.
That's six zeros, Luke.
And don't worry, Miss Morgan, she can
afford it.
No cops and no more games.
I don't even know where she is.
You better have it when I call back.
She's once my bitch, huh?
Look who's fucking who.
I've just come to get my stuff,
and then I'm out of here.
Don't worry.
I can't believe it.
You had the money all along?
It's my money.
Leo's dead and now he's got Kirsten.
My God.
How did this happen?
Our little plan screwed up.
He wants a million now.
Will you put that away?
I can't think when you're like this.
You don't have to think.
How much is in the case?
We're gonna need more.
That's all I got.
That's more than this guy's seen
in his entire life.
Do you think he's really gonna
count it?
Get the fuck out of here.
You heard me.
Put that gun down.
You really look ridiculous.
I said, get out.
Don't be stupid.
You can't handle him by yourself.
These hamburgers ain't bad.
No pickles though.
I hate pickles.
You thirsty?
Yeah.
Hey, don't drink too fast.
You'll get high.
I know.
Thank you.
You know, can I have some more?
That was awfully good.
It's really hot in here.
You know, actually, I think I would
like a little bite after all.
Sandwich?
Yeah, please.
No.
No, no.
Hello?
You got the money?
Yeah, we got it.
Good time we meet again.
This time, someplace special.
You been there before?
Matt's final resting place.
I love ironies.
You got 4 hours.
And one more thing.
Don't bring that bitch.
Hey, come back here.
Son of a bitch.
Where do you think you're going,
sweetheart?
Go home, Sandra, all right?
What is it?
You gotta get your car.
Like I said, you need me.
Fuck you.
I'm moving it right now.
Officer.
Sir.
You know who owns this van?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help you with that.
I feel sorry for your boyfriend.
He doesn't know the snake that
he's got hooked up with.
Her husband.
Matt is a really nice guy.
A lot of class.
Then he marries the two bit cocktail
waitress.
Poor schmuck.
She slams a crowbar through
her skull.
I love it.
I guess we're all getting a little
tired of this.
It's about that time.
I've been transferring Matt's money
down to the Caribbean.
What we're giving Nick today
is nothing.
I've got millions.
Enough for all of us.
You know, you should hear yourself.
You're pathetic.
I feel sorry for you.
You really fucked up big time.
I can make this up to you.
Just shut up.
You don't know how hard it's been
for me.
Save it for your next husband,
Sandra.
That's far enough.
I thought I told you not to bring the
bitch.
Forget it.
Hurry up.
Oh, and by the way, somebody got
really sloppy.
I bet the cops could get some really
nice prints off of that.
Miss Morgan here, she took out a
little insurance just in case things
didn't work out as she planned.
She always covers her ass.
The weapon.
Pass the weapon with your fingers.
Where is she?
I'm running this show.
Do it.
Maybe I should reconsider, huh?
I tell you, I wouldn't lose a whole
lot of sleep.
Let's see it.
Not till I see her.
All right.
Now speak.
Oh.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm okay.
She's all yours if you.
You still want her.
Pass me the money?
Let's put it this way.
Everything worthwhile has a price.
And I'd say you're getting away
pretty cheap.
But then again, there's never enough
for someone like you.
One day you'll
No, wait.
What's going on?
Hi, Nick.
Hi, babe.
You ain't got the balls.
Oh, yeah?
I always liked you.
Get me out of town.
I'm working on it, baby.
I'm working on it.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here.
Did you kill him?
You don't look so good.
I'm okay.
It's nothing.
Certainly no condition to travel.
Just get cussing out, please.
You heard lame horses, Luke.
Kinda can't ride anymore.
What are you doing?
No,
Just keep going.
Young man in his pride
young girl from the cry
most perfect of strangers.
And then the night closed,
holy ground
took care of everything.
She was a fine one
and he was a handsome man
one look was enough.
And away they ran,
I spent many happy hours
and then the night closed in
and the holy grass took care of
everything.
Oh, what's the use
in complaining?
In for a penny, in for a pound.
I remember
the loving times.
And nothing else
really count
and I recall the promise they
made with a faith I
can but admire I
that she'd be the one he adored
and he'd be her heart's desire.
It didn't come true in the end
they went their separate way.
He couldn't change what he wanted was
she wasn't ready to wait
they couldn't live in the daylight.
They let the night close in.
The Holy ground
took care of everything.
They couldn't live in the daylight.
Let the night close in,
the holy ground
took care of everything.
They couldn't live in the daylight.
Let the night close in
the holy ground
took care of everything.
I remember
the loving time
and nothing else
really counts.
