Stay away from the sauce and the women.

Hey, are you listening to me? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, do you borrow your little sister's

You got to be kidding me. You want to

Done with that.

Did I tell you how my brother was shot

in the ass by my grandma for calling him

white trash?

Yes, Jason, you told me that story

yesterday and last week and last month.

Well, can I have a shot of sex on the

beach? No, you've had enough for the

day. How about a [ __ ]

Go home and sleep it off. I don't like

to sleep alone.

What can I get you? Hello,

Heather. I won't dare ask you for a

[ __ ] but I could use a whiskey on

the rocks, please.

You're not from around here, are you?

How you figure?

Cuz I haven't seen you before.

I'm from the north. Ah, cow country. No,

Pelston. Never heard of it. Must

rock. Must be the culture cultivated

type. Yes, I am. I can play the piano

and I'm a hell of a dancer.

Right.

Why are you looking at me like that? I'm

reading your eyes. The eyes tell you

everything about a person. Where I come

from, when a woman looks at a man like

that, she's interested. The St. Pster.

Sorry. Uncultured.

and cultivated. You're here on business

and you hate your job. That's it.

You could say that to anybody. Who

doesn't hate their job? Guys don't lie.

Well, your eyes tell me something.

Like, you want my number?

Why are you here anyway?

What time do you get off? I don't go out

with guys I meet in bars. I don't go out

with guys I meet in bars either.

Men are pigs. Tell me about it. Well, I

Brian find your eye readings

fascinating. And you want me to

fascinate you? Wow. You read mines, too.

Look, Brian, you're not my type. You

don't know what you're missing. Yes, I

do. You can see the future.

[Music]

Thank you.

[Music]

God. Hallelujah.

[Music]

[Music]

I'm a music student at the University of

Michigan. You just played Knockturn

Uncultured. Uncultivated.

[Music]

You going to behave? No.

[Music]

[Music]

Oh my

god. Oh my

god. I can't believe I'm doing this.

A little spontaneity is good for you.

What would my mother think?

Better her than your father.

I don't know my

father. Guess that means he won't come

after

me. You're beautiful. Don't ruin

you. My mother left my father for

another man.

She moved us

away and I lost contact with him.

Sorry,

but

what? You don't have psychological

issues, do you? I'm just asking.

Are you an investigator?

I guess you could say

that I'm working an insurance fraud

case. Yeah. Exciting stuff.

You want to work on me a little more?

Yes, ma'am.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I think I have the winning hand.

I doubt that.

Can you be four of a kind?

You're cheating.

[Music]

Please. All right, take a

breath. Go on. You and your demands.

All right, I was cheating. Why did you

do that?

[Music]

[Music]

Warrior

Scar client hired

me. His wife is cheating.

You slept with

her? Are you going to break my

[Music]

heart? I don't do that anymore.

[Music]

I thought I was the one with

psychological issues.

You still

are. Thank

[Music]

you.

[Music]

[Music]

Miss Thompson, I mean,

ma'am, I was wondering if you could help

me change a flat

tire. Are you good with your hands?

Oh

[Music]

[ __ ] Why does everybody hate me?

[Music]

Your favorite screwdriver.

Are you okay?

What happened?

You know how it is at work when you work

really hard and someone gives you the

finger? Well, today I got a big finger.

Yeah. And loud, too.

Let Heather fix it,

baby. I'll make it good.

I'll be off soon.

Same place.

I got a surprise for you.

[Music]

Look, just pay me for services rendered.

I don't understand. I'm tired of people

trying to kill me.

What?

Look at the footage. Brian, relax. This

is what we pay you to do.

To get shot

at. Drink won't make me stay.

Drink up, my friend.

What the hell are you doing? Who are

you? Huh?

[Applause]

Oh [ __ ]

Nice, huh?

Yeah, this will do.

You going to write me a check? Oh, we're

going to do better than that.

You and me, we're going for a ride.

Look, don't get me wrong. I love trips,

but not

tonight. Oh, no you didn't.

[Music]

[Laughter]

Glad you could join

us. Seems you've had too much to drink.

Look, whoever you are, I know I can hold

my liquor.

I must say it took some time to find

somebody nobody gave a [ __ ] about.

That's not true. My dog Poochie does.

We're going to throw you off this

bridge.

You got the wrong guy.

No, we got the right guy.

[Music]

You're making a big mistake. I know

people. No, you

don't. Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

See you as a soldier.

Hey, want to go?

All right.

[Music]

Nice, huh?

[ __ ]

[Music]

It's summertime. This is the only condo

available, so there isn't much to pick

from.

Does it come with the furniture? Yeah,

sure. If you want it.

Nice view, huh?

You take cash?

It's 10,000 a month.

I said, do you take cash?

You betcha.

Hey, there you are. You tricked me.

You're welcome. Let me help you with No,

no, no, no, no, no. Why? Because you

seem like an ass and I don't like asses.

I like female asses. I noticed.

Are you this angry? Yeah, but today's

your lucky day. I'm feeling just great.

Oh, cool. So, then I should be thankful.

Yeah. All right. Uh, do you mind if I uh

No.

Just don't drop it. All right.

Whoa. Wow. This is an awesome crib.

Especially for somebody with such a

crappy car. As if it's any of your

business. It was the last rental car

available. Okay, I'll put this right

here. Right there's Kitty Kitty. Uh Tom

Lipnitti. I know it's hilarious name.

Just call me Tom. I'm your neighbor.

right behind not that wall but that

wall. But if you knock like this, I'll

probably hear it because we're that

close. And uh you are Alex Forester.

Alex Forester. Well, I'm very glad that

you live here because the last tenants

were jerks. Quite frankly, they were

always complaining about the lack of

privacy and other neighbors. Imagine

that. I'm just here for the summer till

I finish my book. I hear books are on

the way out. You know where the money

is? Reality shows. Watching the lives of

gold digging [ __ ] and enraged

alcoholics stimulates you. Oh

yeah, of course. It's awesome. You seem

like a man of intellect, man of

depth. Thank you,

Alex. Most people don't get that for

some

reason. It's nice

though. Excuse me.

important business. But uh you know,

Alex, where I come from, friendship

trumps business. So, I'm going to ignore

this and return later and stay here and

help you. So, I'll just I will uh I'll

take care of that. Thank you. All right.

Why don't you just go over there and

just start writing away and I'll put the

rest of this stuff where I think it

should go. No, no, no. I'm good. I No,

don't worry. I got nothing to do.

Seriously, nothing at all. I'd be happy

to help That's a shocker, but I I can

handle it. I'm sure you have something.

No, I don't have anything. I swear I

shower. Go. I I I did that yesterday. In

fact, I have some story ideas, but they

all involve gold digging [ __ ] I know

you don't like that right now, but if

you hit a, you know, wall with that, you

know, call me cuz I'm your neighbor

right behind the, you know, we're like

this and we're going to be like this all

summer. So, anyway, I'm just glad to

have you in the hood and wanted to

welcome you. This is how we do it.

That's how we roll. Not too gay, is it?

Would have been gay if I had done that,

but I wouldn't do that to you. Anyway,

thank you. I'm a knock away. Welcome.

Um, thank you. And, uh, any help you

need, like, you know, with with that,

uh, I'll be right next door. Uh, thank

you very much. Okay, guys. Byebye. Bye.

Oh my

[Music]

god. Can I help you? Yeah. Can you

direct me to a Lawson's law office? The

address I have is 15 Main Avenue, number

two. That's the upstairs address. The

old owner used to rent it. Uh, how long

ago was that? About 6 months ago.

Do you happen to know the old owner's

name? A doctor. Michael Pink Lady.

Pink Lady. Mhm.

Okay. Thank you.

[Music]

Dr. Pick Lady. Yeah. I understand you

used to practice medicine at 15 Main

Avenue. That's correct. Can you tell me

where they moved to Lawson's law office?

Never heard of.

Used to be on the floor above you. I

really don't know what you're talking

about.

Who are

you? I must be

mistaken. Thank you.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Huh?

Hey, beautiful. Did I ever tell you how

my brother got shot in the ass from my

grandma for calling her white trash?

Yes, Jason. Many times.

Oh, all right. No more drinks for you

tonight. Well, I quit.

Oh, am I talking to Jason or am I

talking to someone else? Jason? Yeah. No

more sex on the beach. No more [ __ ]

Good for you, Jason. Good for you.

But can I have an orgasm?

Good night, Jason.

Good night, princess.

Watch out from this one.

That was entertaining. What can I get

you? How about a pomegranate juice,

please?

Not one I hear every day.

Look, maybe you can help

me. I'm looking for a Lawson's law

office. Used to be right across the

street from here. Ever heard of it? Why?

You need a lawyer?

No, I'm doing research for a book. What

kind of book? True crime story about

Brian Spikes.

You ever heard of him?

Yeah. Made the headlines after what he

did. I came in here a few times.

This guy right here, he came in here.

Yeah. What can you tell me about

him? He didn't say much.

[Music]

Looking for skinny

dippers.

Hey, take a gander with that, baby.

Technology man blow your

mind. Ah, I know my scopes. I was a

sharpshooter in the Marines. You were in

the Marines? Yeah, but I took early

retirement when my wife passed. Couldn't

do anything after that.

still managed to put on a few pounds,

which is why I'm on a special six meal

diet plan right now. Keeps the

metabolism up. All the pro wrestlers

swear by it. In fact, I'm uh due for my

late night snack. So, um you know, if

you'd like to join me, I don't want to

be annoying. You are annoying, but I am

hungry, so sure. All right, man. I'm

going to put some clone and we'll be

right back. Keep looking. It's fun. All

right. Thank you.

Yeah, I've lost my wife to cancer. You

really liked her. I'm sorry, Tom. Yeah,

30 years together. And then poof. She

was an acupuncturist. She used to prick

me all the time. You know, one time she

looked at me passionately and she leaned

in and said, "Honey, I need to tell you

something. You have a huge booger right

there. It's making me sick. That's by

Ashley.

How long were you in the Marines?

Who knows?

Bet you have some stories, though. Yeah,

that's what I'm saying, man. We should

partner up. We Yeah, Iraq, Afghanistan,

you name it. I still got sand in my ass

from those places. You should write

about it. I don't know the difference

between a verb and a noun, man. And I'm

a Kentucky speller. I haven't written

anything yet, and I suck at spelling,

too. Well, they were a doomed

partnership to sucky spellers.

Oh, you know, I was showing my

girlfriend how to put a condom on using

her mouth. So, there I was with a banana

and a

condo and her mom lost it. You know this

guy? No. Get the [ __ ] out of here. Oh,

that was cool.

This is my first book. Job was getting

kind of stressful. Midlife crisis, I

guess. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I had one of

those, too. It

sucks. Especially the softirection.

I haven't reached that stage yet. Oh,

but you will. And then all your dreams

of being a sexual dynamo will go right

down the tubes. I will uh keep that in

mind. Mhm. You should. What did you say

you used to do for a living? I was an

investigator. I guess that's why I

decided to write about Brian Spikes.

Well, he is a hell of a story. I worked

with him once. He was a drunk womanizer.

Couldn't keep a job. But I guess I'm

curious to what made him flip, you know.

Yeah.

There you go.

Uh-huh. Thank you. And juice for you on

the house. H and uh say what time is it

by the way?

8:35,

right?

Okay. She does not like

me. You got a phone number? Are you

kidding me? I wish I could get girls

like that. I'd have to lose a lot of

weight, start dressing better, work my

deltoids.

Maybe you should just be yourself.

That'd be a hell of a lot easier.

You're really great, Alex. You know

that? Sure.

You're awesome, man.

Are you the writer?

Everybody works for them.

What do you

mean? You just don't know who's in on

it.

In on what?

I'm not following you.

Spikes was set up.

How do you know that?

Mary Thompson was my sister. She worked

at the Youngstown

plant. She was on the cleaning

staff. Freighers come in nightly off the

lakes supposedly carrying wood.

One night, she and a coworker, Lance

Williams, stumbled on some men clearing

a

ship. They weren't carrying

wood. Drugs.

She called me. I told her to tell the

police.

Who did she talk to?

and officer

Davis. He told her not to say anything

because it was under

investigation. A week later, she was

laid off.

Police report said she suffered from

arthritis.

[ __ ] She was as strong as an

ox. So was Lance for Christ's

sake. He was an athlete.

How do you know Spikes wasn't involved?

[Music]

Mary started getting death threats, so I

was staying with

her. That's where I saw Spike snooping

around her

house. I fired a gun to scare him off.

It worked. Spikes wasn't capable of

murder because he never came back.

She was 60 years old, my

sister. I shouldn't have told you

anything. What do you mean?

[Music]

So, what made you write a book about a

worthless loser like Spikes?

Let's just say that I find psychotic

episodes very interesting. psychotic

episodes. Yeah. When somebody totally

sane turns murderously violent. Well,

let's see. He slept with women that he

was hired to watch. Uh oh. He was an

alcoholic and he stole thousands from

his clients. Yeah, but he wasn't a

murderer.

See, I've been in this department 28

years. People like that, they don't walk

around with killer written on their

forehead. How do you know?

Have a

seat, Smith. Give me that

bag. This video was

found Spikes's abandoned car. It was

filled with his fingerprints and his

victim's DNA. I have to warn you,

it's pretty gruesome.

This is Lance Williams. He and his

family were killed.

Yeah. As you can see, he's a real

angel. It's Ronald Greenberg and his

wife. He broke into their house and

slashed their

throats. This is Mary Thompson.

But the the piece of garbage sexually

assaulted her with her gardening

tools. Now, this next part's too

disgusting to

watch. That's some pretty hard evidence

to deny, isn't it?

Brian Spikes was a coldblooded

killer. You put that in your book.

Can I see the police reports on this?

Yeah, you can get him on the way out.

I'd also like to talk to a uh detective

Davis.

Well, unfortunately, he's in Chicago.

Some uh seminar on drug enforcement. Can

you please have him give me a call?

Yeah, glad to be of help.

Oh, one more

thing. Do you happen to know where a

Lawson's law office is? No. You need a

lawyer?

No. Thank you.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

roll.

[Music]

Stop.

I thank you.

I have a granddaughter.

[Music]

Hi, my name is Alex Forester. I'm a

writer. I'd like to ask you some

questions about your neighbors. I don't

like to talk to strangers. This will

only take a few seconds.

Okay.

It's kind of rude.

Do you live alone?

Sort

of. into it.

[Music]

[Music]

Are you a surveyor?

I don't even know what that is.

The police report says that you found

the Greenbergs.

I say yes. Would it be okay?

When did you last see them? That that

morning they took the boat out skiing.

Did you see him come back? No.

And did you see Brian Spikes there? The

day

before snooping around with a camera.

You're not going to You're not going to

tell anyone, are you?

No. I'll use you as a confidential

source.

Thank you, though.

One more question.

What did Mr. Greenberg do for a living?

He was a lawyer.

Worked out of his house.

Lance Williams was his client.

Thank you.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Mr. Youngstown.

Not so close. No, it's all right. I got

it. I'm a writer. I know who you are,

Mr. Forester. I'm in a hurry. I'd like

to ask you some questions about the

employees you lost in that murder shoot.

No comment. Look, nothing at all.

This is Heather. Hey, Heather. It's

Alex. I need you to set up a meeting

with that guy I met the other day.

[Music]

Hi. Hi.

Listen, I I can't get a hold of him. He

hasn't been into the bar and his phone

just goes to voicemail.

What are you not telling me?

You know, why should I trust you? Have I

given you a reason not

to? I knew

Brian a lot more than I let

on. We had um

I liked him a

lot. He said that he was following

people involved in insurance

fraud and I saw him the night of the

murders. He looked worried.

I just can't believe that he killed

those people.

All the evidence points at him,

Heather. He gave me this

[Music]

Are you

[Music]

[Applause]

Are you

[Music]

He found my father for

me. What a crazy killer or something

like

that. Why did this

happen? I'm trying to figure that out.

[Music]

[Music]

and profits

soar. Profits go up. The company has

record

profits. His son John takes

over. Son takes

over. Profits soar.

profits go up. Go

up. His son takes

over and the company has record

profits. George Youngsttown retires.

Father retires. His son John takes over

[Music]

When you grow up, you're going to have

one just like her. So you grow an

account.

We need to get back into the business

market. Pop. We tried that a couple

years ago and almost sank the

company. Your timing was wrong. You've

learned nothing from me over the years.

You should know it's all about feeding

the right markets. Sir, if you'll Who

the [ __ ] are you?

me. You little snot. You spoiled little

brat. You think this is all about you.

This is my company. I built it. My

hands. 35 years. I'll be damned if I'm

going to sit back and watch you run it

up on the rocks. Cop. Have you seen the

numbers lately? We're fine.

Clearly there's something bothering you.

Why don't you go ahead and get that off

your chest?

I'll tell you what's bothering me.

There's a grave being dug. A big grave.

big enough for every single one of you

butttheads because there is a man who is

writing about the dead

employees. Now, that sounds bad for

business, doesn't it? In fact, that is

the kind of publicity that could bury

us. So, I can't wait to hear how you

[ __ ] are planning to dig us out of

this [ __ ] pile. Pop, listen to

me. Let me handle this, okay? The heat's

going to die down. Everything will get

back to normal. Normal? You think you

listen to

me. The economies of scale may have

given us some trouble in the past. I

will be damned if I'm going to let that

happen again.

You all

right? Looks like somebody wants you

dead, man. Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Here we go.

So, how do you like your wiener? Not too

brown and not from the ground, please.

I like buying burnt with or without

dirt. You really should try and be more

healthy. I know. I got me one of them

yoga tapes, but I can only make it

halfway through. Those women are so

sexy. You could borrow it sometime if

you want to.

No thanks.

Oh, whoa. You all right? Yeah, it's all

part of the See, how's the writing

going?

Lots of spelling errors. You know what?

I heard about this new thing called

spellch check. You should try it. I'll

look into that. Hey, what do you

remember about the Spikes murders? Not

much. Just what was in the papers. I

mean, that's all that everybody talked

about for a long time until they found

the body. Body? Yeah, Spike's body. That

is weird. I mean, uh, his murders made

headlines, but his body

didn't. It's crazy. That is interesting.

[Music]

See, that weekend the girlfriend and I

were

out. It didn't go very

well. The wife didn't like it,

right? So, you didn't do the autopsy?

No, the police were in a hurry.

They had a local doctor do it.

This is the file.

Can I see the file on Mary Thompson?

[Music]

I digs me a lot of grave all day long. I

can't be sure where every single one

is. I'll try and find her for

you. Got to be around

here. Right here.

I'd like to see the body.

I don't think I can do that.

Sure you

can. All right. Why not?

It's not normal for one, and for two,

the thought of it and the smell creeps

me out.

I

understand. Will this help?

I'll get the shovel.

[Music]

I got something.

[Music]

[Music]

I ain't touching that.

Be careful. The stench will knock you

over.

[Applause]

It doesn't smell so bad now, does it?

I really can't talk to you. How can you

sign an autopsy report when there's no

body for Brian Spikes?

I want a

name. Give me a

name. I uh really don't do house calls

anymore. Try

this until you can see a practicing

doctor.

I hope this

helps. It will. Thank you.

[Music]

[Music]

Tom. Hey. Hey. I'm

sorry. Yeah. My wife actually after we

made

love, she would

hum this little tune

is it's the sweetest thing I ever heard.

And she would just keep on humming until

she drifted off to sleep.

And then in the middle of the night,

she pressed her little body against my

sto onto

me. She

was the best thing that ever happened to

me.

Alex, you know,

I I just ask myself every day. I mean,

who's gonna love me like

that? Who's going to take care of me the

way that she

did? I understand,

Tom.

Yeah. Alex, you don't have a

boxuit on you, do you? No, not on me.

Okay, maybe when I get back, we can go

get a drink.

Talk about

being sexual dynamos.

That'd be real nice,

Alex. Thank you.

Sh. Call the police.

[Applause]

Hey, watch, dude.

Hey, what the hell?

[Music]

Hey Nick, got my phone.

[Music]

Get out. Get

out. Get out.

Get out of the way.

[Music]

Freeze. Drop the gun. On your

knees. You've been asking too many

questions.

You know, a simple thanks would be nice.

Thanks.

Well, that was simple. I thought you

couldn't hit anything. Well, I don't

know what happened. I I I panicked. I'm

sorry. You didn't call the police? No, I

couldn't find my cell phone, but we got

to go down there right now and explain

the whole story. No, I know a guy in the

FBI. He'll help us out. Not yet. The

police have no clue you did this. The

bullet's a clue. And I think those two

dead bodies might be a pretty good clue,

too. We'll tell them later.

Okay. All right. We'll tell them later.

But for right now, since our

relationship has suddenly got so real,

tell me exactly what the hell is going

on here.

Sure. I was supposed to meet a Dr. Pink

Lady. Pink Lady? Yeah, Pink Lady. That I

miss the days when I was the weird

neighbor and you were the smart one. He

said people were following him. What

people? Alex, had I known that, Tom, I

wouldn't have gone out there, now would

I? Give me your gun. Why? If the police

come looking for it, tell them I stole

it from

you. Explain that to me. If they trace

the gun, I want them to trace it to me,

not to you. Okay, give me the gun. I

can't do that. When we shared that

non-gay man hug in the hall the first

day we met, that was my vow of

friendship, an unconditional bond that I

will always, no matter what, have your

back. which now that I say it sounds

gayer than the hug, but I think you know

what I mean. If you don't give me that

gun, I'm gonna tell Heather about your

soft directions. Oh my god, you're going

to soft directions. I never thought

you'd go there, man. There's no such

thing. It's an oxymoron, like military

intelligence. Those are your words, Tom.

They don't make sense. Remember, I'm

crazy. I'm the weird one. But I'll make

you this deal. On the one in a million

chance that you still are the smart one,

I'll give you my rifle, they're called,

by the way. Here. But I want you to know

something. If you screw this up and we

both end up at prison, we are through.

We are broke up. There's no more Alex to

top. All right. It's over, my friend.

Fine. Okay. Now give me a goddamn drink.

I don't have alcohol. Then give me my

gun back. I'm going down to the liquor

store.

Should I be worried about my life, too?

Not as long as I'm alive. Everybody

you've met ends up dead.

Yeah, it's not very promising, is

it? I've got to clean up.

[Music]

You into

music? Not so much

anymore. You have a woman back

home. I used

to, but I left her to save her from pain

and suffering.

The sun would rise and set with her, but

there were things I needed to

do. There's a dark side to you, isn't

there?

[Music]

[Music]

Alex Forester. Yeah. Detective Dave is

here. Investigator for the Spikes case.

I've been waiting for your call. We can

work together to blow this case open.

Sunflower Road 232.

Got it. Spikes was innocent.

Who is that?

I have to go. Are you going to be okay?

Not sure.

I'm at the club so close. I'll meet you

when you get off

to protect me.

Don't leave without me.

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Hello.

Oh my god.

Hey, that's my girl. Help me.

[Music]

[Applause]

Jesus, come in.

Money must be good in police work.

Real

estate. It's a hobby of mine.

Scotch. I don't drink.

That's what they all say.

It's from Ireland. Real rare stuff. Have

a seat.

I know who killed him. I want names.

Look.

Before I tell you anything, are you

working with anyone else?

No.

You don't know who to

trust. You might talk to somebody who

works for them, which would lead to me,

and that would blow this whole

operation. Is this under investigation?

Always. At least until we find the

leaks.

There's no record of an Alex Forester

with the

DMV. Care to explain?

Why did you kill Brian? Spikes? It was

never about Spikes. We just needed a

loser to pin the murders

on. There is something I know that you

don't

[Music]

A smart detective would have checked me

for a gun.

[Music]

He'll find you. Who gave the order to

kill Spikes?

[Music]

Who? Who are you? I'm a writer. I'm

writing a book.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

It

up. It up.

[Music]

Yeah, we got the girl. Is she alive? Not

for long. The boss wants you to bring

the writer's body.

Hey, buddy. Hey. I'm glad you're here.

Are you looking for that? Yeah. Where'd

you find it? On the guy who just tried

to kill me.

What? Someone broke into my apartment a

couple days ago and I think that's

convenient. I swear you set me up. I

would never do that to you, Alex.

Use it. What? No. Use it. No, Alex,

you're my only friend. We're family. I

don't know if trust anymore. You could

trust me.

Heather's in trouble. What? I thought I

could count on you. You can. This is

what they were looking

for. If you're one of them, I guess

we're going to find

out. You'll know where to find me.

You'll know where to find

me. Jesus Christ. Good morning, George.

The hell are you doing in my house?

Where's your

son? What's taking him so long?

[Music]

[Music]

I'm not the loquacious type, so I hope

you don't find me disconcerting when I

say you're about to die.

[Music]

water.

Women are more fun to kill, aren't

they? You can do more with them.

I'm going to be spreading those nice

legs of yours.

I have been waiting a long

time. Touch

you. What the hell was

that? Call Davis

now.

Answer it.

Hello. That's Davis's phone.

Looks like the idiot neighbor's not so

dumb after all.

[Music]

[Music]

What?

[Music]

untie her.

The mania of

Vendetta, Mr. Forester, I

presume. You're one rude but dedicated

writer. Let's just say that the subject

matter is kind of personal to me. You

set up Brian Spikes to cover your

murders.

You're nothing but a two bit drug pimp.

Come on. You wouldn't want my

life. All the power and money. Spare me.

What good is all this from a cell block?

You deserve to die a slow death like

your

friend. Your silent alarm went off. It

certainly did. We have a trespasser.

Your gun.

[Music]

Oh, go.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I can't move it.

Get

[Music]

[Music]

It's

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Say goodbye, [ __ ]

I don't like being a cold [ __ ] I

could have made you more money than you

ever could have spent. This isn't about

money than you ever could have spent. I

want my friend back.

All right. Come on. Come

on. Okay.

Okay. All right.

Look at you. You're pathetic. Come on.

Come

on. Things I do for love. You're

finished.

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

Phoenix.

It's the second time you saved my

life. Under different circumstances, I'd

give you a hug.

High five.

Thanks. You know that is the third dude

to whack for you this week. Can't wait

till next week. Yeah, me neither. Does

it hurt a little bit? Yeah, first one

always does, but it gets easier. You've

been shot. Oh, yeah. Yeah, a few times.

Yeah. So, I don't know about you, but

I'm kind of hungry.

thinking maybe we stopped by this burger

joint on the way home. And you probably

shouldn't stay in your place. It's all

messed up. Stay at mine. I'll do the

couch. That way I keep an eye on you. My

place is right next door. All right,

I'll stay there. Whatever. You know,

think about uh probably getting away

this weekend, renting a camper, going up

north, doing some fishing. So, you know,

you've been through a lot. If I'm not

out of the hospital, maybe. Yeah, I

guess we can stay at the hospital, too.

Whatever. They have pretty good food

there, too. You know, whatever. Whatever

you want, I'm there for

you. Good times.

Thank you. Mhm. It's nice, right? That's

really good. Hey,

[Music]

Right.

I was hoping you'd still be here,

but I thought they killed you.

[Music]

No heat.

[Music]

[Music]

Changed my

look. Got into

[Music]

shape. Learned how to defend myself.

became

[Music]

focused.

[Music]

Brian, your death experience changes a

man.

gave me a purpose.

Came back for you.

[Music]

Alex, I just got to say, man, thank you

for helping me get on with my life.

Well, you're welcome. I would have

wanted and Heather, uh, there's a lot of

rumors going around about soft

directions. Don't believe them. Now that

I'm back on the market, a catch like me

is not going to last long. So, if you

want to make your move, now would be the

time. All right. All right. You've made

your move. Okay. Okay.

[Music]

Alex, how could you give all this up?

[Music]

Yeah, it's starting to grow on me. And I

think we got ourselves an ending.

Yeah, I believe we do.

[Music]

You're not going to leave me account,

are you?

The sun will rise and set with

you. Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.
