All language subtitles for Road Ends 1997

Mmm.

The part of this that kills me is that
was decaf.

You washed down speed with decaf.

I like the taste.

Scott's taking us right to the end of
the fucking world.

You want to take him on the road?

Or wait till he stops, huh?

A stop would be nice.

Well, you must live right.

at the light.

Hey,

hey, hey.

This is Hawkeye. This is Hawkeye.
They're starting a move. Over.

Hawkeye, I don't read.

This is Hawkeye. This is Hawkeye. Come
in, guys. Over.

Okay. Hawkeye, try again, please.

Can you explain in this way?

Gene! Over here.

Look, this guy knows he fucked up, okay?
You don't need to tear him into a

raffle. Count to ten, everything's going
to be fine, all right?

Gene.

Is this him?

Uh -huh.

Shut up.

I don't want to hear it.

Put it in.

That's one.

Three more for the rest of the day,
right?

So tell me how they jammed the radio.

You're going to love this.

We ran the serial numbers on this thing.

It's one of ours.

It just gets better and better.

It didn't take much with them.

Just what they needed.

They left anything behind to tell us
where they went. We sure haven't found

yet.

This data show came down a long way.

Yeah.

Come on, Rog.

Show me the real bad news.

This way.

Oh! Crazy Carl.

Gene? Mm -hmm.

So these two are Orozco's boys?

Oh, yeah.

I know this lovely couple.

This one used to be a big deal to Tommy.

That used to be one of his shooters.

So what do we got, Carl?

A very efficient job.

They've been dead since the middle of
last night.

Twenty -two long in each of their heads.

Very professional.

Very cold.

Excuse me.

Fellow.

Still with us?

Well, I didn't mean to scare you.

I saw your car back there, and then I
saw you, and I wasn't sure you were all

right. Didn't mean to be a problem.

Chief Gilchrist.

Well, they call me Chief, but I'm...

Well, I am the chief, and I'm also the
force and the janitor. I'm sorry. I

didn't mean to be a problem, chief.

No problem.

Been on the road all night, looks like.

I wanted to get some air. I sat down,
closed my eyes for a second.

Know how that is.

It's real quiet here.

Yeah, it has been ever since they closed
down the orange packing plant.

Built a new one 70 miles north.

Then the town started to go. I guess you
noticed that as you drove through.

It ain't hardly a...

Thriving metropolis these days.

I'm going to meet some old acquaintances
here.

Kind of have a reunion.

There ain't hardly anything to throw a
party with around here.

We'll make out.

Is there someplace I can stay?

Yeah, there's a bed and breakfast right
as you drive into town. It's still

running.

You know, the folks around here, well,
we've kind of gotten used to it all

quiet, you know.

So when your friends get here, keep it
like that.

Do my best.

Right as you drive into town,

bed and breakfast.

Thanks, Chief.

Yeah, no problem.

We know this is a top priority. Every
available agent is here.

He got here half an hour ago.

I'll tell them.

He wants to talk to you.

Gene, Armacost just called.

She's on her way right over.

I think you're supposed to say, ahem, or
something like that.

Ahem.

So, did you enjoy it?

Best view in town.

It was okay.

Smooth talker, huh?

What can I do you for?

Police chief said I could get a room
here.

Are you kidding?

Well, he was lying.

Lying?

You could probably have half a dozen
rooms if you want them.

One's fine.

Shoot, how long you staying?

Uh, say a week.

Great. Hey, so let's get you signed in.

Come on.

Either Gene is in there smoking or the
house is on fire.

We'll go get him, would you?

Gene?

Showtime.

Kathleen. Gene.

Well, our boss's time is extremely
valuable, so let's not waste any of it.

Well, I appreciate that. You wouldn't
have any more of that, would you?

Roger, why don't you run us through it?
Okay.

24 hours ago, we get a request from
Washington to locate and protect Esteban

Maceda. We can't find Maceda.

We initiate surveillance on a number of
places, including this house, which

belongs to his brother -in -law, Joey
Ayotte.

Now, Maceda must have roosted here
before we got our station set up,

We never saw him get here.

I don't think that the tenants will mind
if I use their equipment.

Gene, do me a favor. Put that out, would
you?

Smokey the fucking bear.

Thank you.

Okay.

This is what we catch last night at
1110. The two guys in suits are hit men.

The tall one's Orozco's favorite
shooter.

They call him La Tumba. La Tumba, what
does that mean?

It's Spanish for the grave.

It's where you're going after you meet
him. Sweet.

And the little dapper Dan there is named
Montero. He's one of Orozco's top

lieutenants. This guy in the middle is
Joey Ayotte.

Yeah, stop the tape.

Why do you think he let them in?

I think he thought he could make a deal.

What do you think happened?

I think they tried to whack him and he
turned the tables on them. If you want

know what I think, I think they fucking
well deserved it.

Go ahead.

Okay, we see this about an hour after
Montero and Lopez arrive.

Surveillance thinks that this guy is
Montero. Oh, he does, does he? Now, the

least bit curious why Montero is rushing
out of there by himself, carrying two

duffel bags?

Well, he was told to look out for
Esteban Maceda. It wasn't until later,

Joey Ayotte split with the rest of the
family in the morning, that we reviewed

the tape and realized that this man was
in fact... Esteban Maceda. It's an easy

mistake to make, Kathleen. Yeah, well,
all mistakes are easy. Nobody thought to

tail him. We had no intelligence that he
was in that house.

Unbelievable. You lost him.

Why don't you tell us why you want him,
all right? Since Roger and I are about

the only ones in the dark here.

Word is the appellate court is getting
ready to throw out Tommy Orozco's

conviction. Oh, it gets better and
better. Justice is going to state its

intention to retry Orozco as soon as we
can get a court date.

Now, Orozco knows that a decision is
forthcoming, and he also knows what

everybody else knows. If there's going
to be another trial, it's not going to

happen without Esteban Mercedes.

He's our star witness.

He's our only witness.

You know him better than anybody, Gene.
You recruited him.

You know the way he thinks, how he
operates. Bring him back.

Oh, he's going to love that, Kathleen.

Especially since you dropped him like a
hot potato after the trial.

All right, spare me the sob story. You
want to know something?

Esteban Macedo has got no complaints.

He got a suspended sentence.

I mean, we're talking about a two -bit
tax evader here, okay? So my sympathy is

limited. You loved him when you needed
him.

Persuade him if you can, and if you
can't, bring him back in cuffs.

When we announce this decision on
Monday, I want Esteban Maceda in

Okay? It's Friday. That gives you
roughly 72 hours to bring in your man,

Gere. Understood?

Understood. Now, if you gentlemen will
excuse me, I've got to go give our

sterling surveillance team an extreme
bit of hell.

No, no, no. You have nothing to say to
me. Move. Well, that went pretty well,

wouldn't you say?

one of those cards.

I'll need a day's deposit. Cash or
charge?

Cash.

You know, you are lucky.

I almost had him turn the table off.
There you go.

How much?

Thirty -five.

Put the rest on the counter.

Okay.

Could I have a room on the second floor?

One that looks out on the street?

I like the view.

Sure, as long as you're paid up, you can
sleep on the roof for all I care. No

other guests.

Smooth talker and eyes like an eagle.

If it's a quiet life you're after, you
came to the right place.

Anybody else been through here?

People asking around?

Supposed to meet some folks.

Thought I might have missed them.

You're it, Eli.

You're sure?

It'd be hard not to notice, don't you
think?

Gene.

Gene.

Hey, Earth to Gene.

Unfortunately, I'm here, Roger.

Well, which side of the street do you
want?

Oh, I'm already here.

Okay.

Quiero hablar con usted de su vecino.

I'm just going to start selling tickets,
what I'm going to do.

Yeah.

Don't you have something better to do
than hassle law -abiding citizens?

Nope. Out chasing murderers and robbers
and so on and so forth?

Guy can get hurt doing that kind of
work. You look a lot easier to deal

Don't bet on it.

Do you mind if I just frisk you?

Did you come by for some sort of reason?

That car up front?

Oh, yeah.

Guy checked in about an hour ago.

Yeah, I know. I found him down by the
lake.

Thanks for the referral.

Wait a second. You're not looking for
some sort of kickback, are you?

That's an idea.

Let me have a look at his card.

Oh, dear. What'd he do?

Well, he looked a little ragged.

Whoa. Now there's a major felony right
there.

Well, ha -ha. I was just wondering why a
fella drives as hard as he must have

been to come here.

Now, you know, my own mother...

Came this far out of the way, I'd be
suspicious.

Know what I'm saying, Jellybean? Yep.

Where is that little lord?

You're going to put something on the
kitty for that, aren't you?

Sure.

He did say he was supposed to meet some
people.

Gene Gere.

What are you thinking?

Well, maybe just some guy's wife threw
out, I don't know.

Or?

Well, if I was going to make a dope
deal, or something like that, I'd find

a nice, quiet place to do it.

As long as he pays his bill, I don't
care.

Yes, Miss Kriskin.

Miss Kriskin.

Screw you.

Anyway, I don't think so.

When is that?

Well, I hope you're right.

Anyway, I'll see you over at the router
in a minute.

Later. What, is a new place opened up?

See you later.

Good morning.

This is Chief Gilchrist of the Desiree
PD.

Oh, no, man, we're way down in the
Central Valley.

Yeah, well, what I need is an I .D.
check on a year

-old 800 Series BMW, California tag
number

Charles Peter Robert 777.

Oh, no, ma 'am, we don't have a fax
machine, ma 'am. I'm lucky I got a

telephone. Why don't I just hold?

Thanks.

I don't know what you expect to find.

You know, people have been through here
so often.

But I expect you know what you're doing.

Well, Agent Gere is a highly trained
professional, ma 'am. You never know

skilled investigator's gonna turn up.

Isn't that right, Agent Gere? That's
right, Agent Modine.

Ma 'am, did Mr. Maceda ever mention any
friends?

Or family?

Places they like to relax? Or places
they like to go to do business? Anything

like that?

Frankly, we never talked much.

Well, you leased in this house two years
ago, didn't you? And that's your house

across the street.

You never talked?

Well, as I recall, I can't say they seem
to make any particular effort to get to

know us.

And I'm not being critical, you
understand.

I'm sure it was very difficult for him.

How so?

Well, you know, different cultures.

Now... I've traveled a good deal, and I
find other cultures to be fascinating.

But it isn't easy for a newcomer to
accept things he doesn't understand.

I'm sure you know what I mean.

Oh, sure. I think it was very broad
-minded of you to lease him this house

the first place.

Well, no.

I was rather surprised they could afford
this house. They seem to have come into

their money rather quickly, and then to
hear about this drug business.

Well, they don't have the same values we
have. Oh, oh, absolutely not. Or they'd

be bankrupting SNLs.

I think we'll just take a look around.

Roger?

Sir.

Another five minutes, he was going to
ask me to do the windows, bet.

Please.

Oh, that's all right, Captain Boss Man,
sir. I know my place now.

Roger, how can you be offended by an
idiot?

Finally got that old car running, huh?
Yeah, I just took it for a test drive. I

got that baby coming.

So, Mommy, you feel like working
tonight?

Nope.

You ever consider putting anything else
on the menu?

Salad or something?

Sorry.

I have a burger with cheese tonight.

Going all out tonight, huh, Cat? Hey,
Arliss, ain't you heard?

Cat got herself a new paying customer
today.

Cat practically makes her eat.

Magnite in the lodging industry.

Oh, regular Hilton, huh? Oh, yeah.

So how is your star customer?

Well, for all I know, he died of a heart
attack and he's fairly ripe by now.

Too bad he's kind of cute.

Anyway, I haven't seen hide in her hair
of him since he checked in.

You know, say.

What?

You still think he's a drug kingpin and
all that?

That's what you get.

Hey, Arliss, Miss ESP there thinks this
new guy's all right

because he's got nice eyes.

That's right.

Eyes are the witness to the soul.

Yeah, well, Ted Bundy had nice eyes. Oh,
please, you're impossible.

He's right about Ted Bundy.

He was a real charming fella.

Hey, is that him?

Yeah, that's him.

Oh, good. Why don't we just stare at the
door?

That sounds good.

Evening. Evening.

You want to feed your buddy?

Mama will take care of you. You want to
feed your soul?

You come to me.

I could use a little of both.

You wouldn't have any rice and black
beans back there, would you, Mama?

Burger. Burger and cheese.

Tough choice.

Uh, burger will be fine.

Um, got any french fries?

Fries busted.

Burger will have to do.

You, uh, you've got a pretty lean outfit
here.

Yeah, everybody around here runs a tight
outfit.

What can I do for you?

You wouldn't have any sambuca up there,
would you? Sam who?

Chardonnay beer. Oh, right.

There you go. Thank you.

Come on, bar.

Okay. Oh, yeah.

I

don't

want a stranger to eat alone.

Wouldn't want them to think we're
inhospitable or something.

Actually, I could use the quiet.

No offense.

No problem.

None taken. I'm sorry. I just won't be
much of a conversationalist.

It's okay.

Well, you know, I'm a pretty good
conversationalist myself there, Mr.

Maybe I could pick up the slack for you.

Wouldn't want to be any trouble.

No problem.

Name's Gere, right, Eugene?

That's how you registered at the inn?

Yep. That's how I registered at the inn.

Well, that's funny.

You don't seem like a Gere.

No.

Well, just what do you think a gear
should look like?

A gear?

That's a little round thing with
sprockets on it.

Do I look like an axel rad?

But that's his name, and now I'm stuck
with it.

She's right.

I'm a gear on my father's side.

And your mother?

What was her name? You don't mind me
asking?

No, I don't mind.

Smith.

You got some reason to ask all these
questions, Dan?

I'm just making conversation.

Oh.

You see, I was kind of noticing your
car.

I know.

It's a nice car.

Thanks.

I thought I remembered the tag numbers
from Hot Sheet.

That car's not on any Hot Sheet.

No. Turns out it wasn't.

But it seems that...

That car don't belong to no Eugene gear.
No, yeah belongs to a guy named

Johnson from North Hollywood

Tell you what you do

This is the number of the federal
building

in Los Angeles You call this number ask
for this extension

and ask for

gear None of you still

got a problem we'll have ourselves
another conversation fair enough you can

on that

On

second thought if you wouldn't mind
sharing a table

Be my pleasure.

Buy you a drink?

I'll stick with this.

What's this?

Jelly donuts.

God damn it, Gene. I hate jelly donuts.

You wouldn't let me smoke.

I don't let you smoke because cigarettes
kill you.

Jelly donuts?

That's not the point.

I hate jelly donuts. You know I hate
jelly donuts. You've been my partner

years and you forgot that I hate jelly
donuts.

You're supposed to be my role model,
man. That's why your wife left you. No,

wife loved jelly donuts.

Loved to stab me with a fork and squeeze
the blood out.

Anyway, I didn't forget it's all they
had.

I hate biting into these things.

It's like they're alive or something.

It's all creepy and crawly. Oh, Roger,
did you ever eat chitlins?

Yeah, so?

Well, that's pig guts, so don't talk to
me about jelly donuts.

Okay, look.

I mean, do you really think that Joe
Aolte is just going to be sitting there

waiting for us?

Well, color me stupid, but I think
Mercedes' brother -in -law might be

to have a visit from two DEA agents.

Cute as we are.

We're closed.

You're still working?

Don't remind me.

We're still closed.

You can drop your car off tomorrow
morning. Ask for Henry.

Are you Henry?

Yeah, that's me.

You work a long day, Henry.

I work a damn long day.

We were hoping to see Joey Ayotte.

Is this his place?

You want to talk to Joey?

Yeah. He did some work for me a couple
of years ago.

Are you local?

State? I'm fed.

Feds.

U -P -T -I -N -S.

Everybody here has a card.

You want to see mine?

You're just going to have to crawl up my
ass and find it.

If no one's looking to hassle you
here... Brother man, you guys were born

hassle. We just want Joey Ayotte. He's a
good man.

He takes care of his people. You want
anything else?

I'll go.

Henry, Joey may think he's doing a good
deed.

There's some people out here who want to
whack his ass.

Oh, yeah?

And whose fault is that?

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, Jesus.

We don't get this busy when we're open,
man.

Hey, amigo.

I'm looking for Joey Ayotte.

He told me to come by the shop, talk
about some business.

He in?

He's away for a few days, amigo.

How come you need Joey?

It's nothing. Just an old dad.

Hey, I'll let you guys finish the
business.

Now hold up, man. Let me ask you a
couple of questions.

Do you want to be helpful? What? Do
something about that fucking horn.

It just gets better and better.

What brought you here?

I was born here.

Why'd you stay?

Same reason as everyone else.

Same reason as you.

Same reason as me.

Yeah.

Get away from things.

Go to a place where you can hear
yourself think.

You think that's why I came here? To get
away from things?

Why else?

You'd be surprised.

Hmm. I think I've had enough of that.

I'll walk you back.

Actually, I could use the time alone.

Thanks for sharing my table.

Pleasant dream.

Mr. Here.

I doubt that.

Jesus.

Why don't you just throw him down on the
floor and do him right here?

What about you coming on like Mr.
Gestapo?

Hey, I got some legitimate questions.

I don't think criminology had much to do
with your attitude tonight.

Children, children, children.

You can't play nice. Come on.

Look, Cat.

I'm just worried about this guy.

You know?

That's all.

He's been at your place and I don't
know.

You may want me to come over.

We'll watch some late night TV.

I'm a little tired.

Christ, this guy's not going anywhere.

I'm going to be your own knight.

Are these losers your idea, Kathleen?

Yes, Gene. Yes, they are.

Why?

We think you might have tipped off
Maceda. You do? Yeah. He knew about the

overturn before we even got the red
flag.

There's no other way he could have
gotten out so fast. He was totally

for Orozco's people. And you know
something? He had the radio jammer. That

my goddamn piece of hardware, Gene.

We all know how you feel about Maceda.
If you don't trust me on this, Kathleen,

pull me off or stay out of my face!

Hey, what about the key? Fuck the key.

Sorry, boss.

You're useless.

Yeah. Hi, this is Chief Gilchrist.

I'm with the Desiree PD.

Yeah, I'm looking for a fella that works
down there by the name of Gene Gear.

Oh.

Agent gear?

No kidding. Well, can I speak to him?

Oh, he's working out of the office.

But you do have a jean gear.

Right. Agent gear.

No, ma 'am.

No, no message.

Thank you very much, ma 'am.

linens for you.

I'll drop them off later.

Sorry.

What happened to the Cadillac?

It might torch a couple miles down the
road.

Found a couple orders extra. Crispy
fries and sacks.

Nobody knows what the hell happened.

I thought stuff like that only went on
in the big city.

How far to Desiree?

Desiree? What the hell do you want to go
there for?

It's the end of the road.

Here, keep the change.

Thank you.

Morning.

Morning.

Not used to seeing you around in the
daytime.

I was beginning to think you were some
sort of vampire or something.

I didn't really think of you as the
fishing type.

Tell you the truth, I don't particularly
care if I catch anything.

I used to go fishing with my daddy.

I'd catch fish and put them in the boat
and they'd be flopping around. I'd just

freak out and start bawling.

You have to throw them back in. They'd
be so pissed at me.

You got over that, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Mama's burgers will do that.

Get another quarter pound of meat in my
belly and I'll start hunting venison

with a crossbow.

My father used to take me fishing.

That's what we did together.

Hold this.

I don't have anything on there.

What was that?

Cuba.

What brought you to the States?

My father died in prison.

My mother put me on a boat to Florida
when I was a kid.

After school, I came out to L .A.

How do you stay here?

Told you last night.

Born here.

That's not what I asked you.

I'll live in the big city for a while.

Hung out with some cool guys We like to
party when we party we

drank when we drank we did pills when we
did pills

Two things I'd like to forget

That was it for the big city I'm here to
stay now

Where would you go if something happened
to the hotel?

Yes

You mean when it folds.

I don't know.

Find some way to stay.

Like hunting venison with a crossbow.

Maybe. Maybe Chief Gilchrist.

He's a nice fellow.

I know it don't always show.

You know, how are you?

I'd keep that pop gun under wraps.

He ain't that nice.

Tommy, I think we can trust Mr. Jean
Gere.

He works for the federal government, and
the federal government does not hire

assassins.

I haven't seen you since the trial.

No.

Your partner.

How's he doing?

He's very lucky he didn't die.

I know those were your shooters.

We're the cops, Tommy.

You don't gun for us. That's not the way
the game is played.

It was a terrible mistake.

You're quite a reader.

American history.

It became a special interest of mine
ever since the trial.

Are you kidding?

You know, the fathers of the fathers of
the men who took me to court, they

killed the Indians.

Millions of them.

Everything west of the Mississippi and
south of Oregon, they stole from us

Mexicanos. You know, what I do is more a
part of the American tradition than

what you do.

Except for the way you sold out my
cellar.

That was very American.

Let him go, Tommy.

The guy just wants to get out. I'm
impressed with his loyalty.

Comes a little late for Maceda, but I am
impressed.

Pinchy Maceda. He's Cuban, you know.

Just doesn't get it.

He thinks, I come to this country to
work real hard, to make something of

myself.

I'm a good American.

The good Americans, they take a good
look at him and think, stick.

Tommy, with all due respect, I'm not
interested in yesterday.

I can guarantee that Macedo will
disappear.

He will not testify against you in
court. This is not about a trial.

Is that what you think all this is
about?

Maybe trust him.

me love him there was no trial tomorrow
no difference

i'm gonna look for him and if i find him

he's dead

Maybe I should go.

You can have him down here.

You cut it out.

I feel sorry for him, Zal.

I'm kind of sad about him.

Well, that's what I came for, to watch
you be all moody over him.

Sit down.

You know, I burned it.

I know.

You always do.

Yeah, but I think I ruined your pot,
too.

Thanks.

Turn the TV on.

I kind of like it burning.

Oh, we're surfing tonight, are we? Uh
-huh. No video.

All righty.

Hey, Chief. Come on, Chief. Closing
time.

Come on.

Wake up. What time is it? Time to go
home.

Come on.

Come on, you're in my bed.

So, what's the problem?

If you stay there, I'm going to sleep in
the bathtub.

Oh, there's room for two in there?

Come on.

You don't know what you're missing.

If you mean a face full of drool in the
morning.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, that's disgusting.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, yeah.

Where'd he go?

Yeah, I... Dude!

Oh, what's here?

Yeah, I'm all right. Can you let me in?
Yeah, yeah.

Oh,

wait. If you're going to push me out
like this, at least give me my jacket.

What is the matter with you?

Good night.

You know, hey, listen. I've learned
about this new Oriole method. Good

Ah.

Cat. Sleep tight and don't let the bed
bugs bite.

Yeah, yeah. Good night. All right.

Nice move Chester.

You ain't getting any younger.

Wake up!

Ben! There's shooting going on over
here!

I don't know who's shooting!

You want a description?

Wait a damn minute!

Where is he?

Injector was catching sometimes that
happens in these rapid -fire jobs Put it

down No

You put it down.

Don't start anything.

I won't.

And I'm willing to finish.

Are you?

Hey. Get out of here.

You saved my life, Ben.

Just get out of here.

Okay, now stand up and put your hands on
your head and turn around.

Won't you listen to me, Ben?

I tell you, I did hear the shotgun
first.

My dear, I don't give a...

He wants to plead self -defense?

That's fine.

He's got nothing to worry about. Turn
around.

Ben. Hello?

It wasn't his fault.

Okay.

Maybe then he can explain why he's got
enough unliked hardware

to restart the Cold War.

Now, I'm going to rustle up some
transport to get this maniac to county

And it's time for you to stay with Mom
and Arliss. There'll be more.

He was just the first.

They'll come here and they'll kill me.

And whoever else is in the way, you,
her, they'll kill them too.

You've got an awful pessimistic view of
life, you know that?

I could have killed you up there.

Instead of letting you take me, I could
have killed you.

Why? You gotta get the last word in,
don't you? Is that what this is all

So you can show him up?

What this is all about, little miss, is
that body in your place over there. Come

on. Don't leave me locked up like this!

Well, I'm gonna leave the light on for
you.

Gene? Present.

Good morning.

Breakfast.

You been here all night?

Depends what time it is.

A little before 8.

A .M. or P .M.? A .M.

I've been there all night.

Look, I think we may have something
here.

Sheriff down in the boonies found the
Cadillac. Mercedes drove out of town,

burned out in a field. Two bodies
inside, neither one Mercedes.

How old is this?

That's yesterday. You still think he
went to Mexico?

If he did, he's gone by now.

But I think it's a faint.

I think this is to take us south, and he
heads out across country in the

opposite direction.

Maybe he went to Florida. They got
people there.

No, it's too easy to track him to
family. I say he went right to Mexico.

You still think I'm helping Macedo?

Look, I want you to take a team and
follow through on this.

Thank you, Captain.

But we're spread thin, and I think I
should go down right away and check it

I'll report back before we commit our
guys all over hell and gone.

Fair enough.

Good luck.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Breakfast.

Thank you.

Here.

Sorry,

you have to eat through the bars.

It's not your fault.

Sit with me.

Don't make me eat alone.

Oh, so now you want some company.

Here.

It self -depends.

I'll testify.

I don't even mind if they find me here.

I just don't want them to take me like
this.

him last night i could have dropped him
walked to the car and that would have

been the end of it but i'm not what he
thinks i am bring the key

please break the key what are you doing
just brought him some

breakfast which by the way i can't get
through the bars i don't want you

to him i don't want you even near him

Maybe these better just stay with me,
huh?

You better go home, Kat.

Well, Mr.

Gere, or whoever you really are, looks
like you're going to be spending some

time with us.

The county can't spare a wagon to come
for you till maybe day after tomorrow.

I suggest you make yourself comfortable.

I won't be here day after tomorrow.

Oh, no?

How you doing?

Almost in dynamite painkillers. The kind
of stuff we usually bust people for.

Well, how do you feel?

Did you go to work?

Work?

What do you got?

We got him.

We're safe?

The dude gave me that this morning.

You ever wonder how Macedo was able to
move so fast the night Orozco's boys

up to his place?

It's because he knew they were coming.

How do you know?

Because I told him.

You told him?

Yeah. I got a friend in the D .C.
office. He told me why we were really

reinstating the surveillance on Macedo.
The justice was looking at an overturn

on the Orozco case, so I called up
Macedo and I told him.

Do you really need to ask me why?

Oh, you stupid motherfucker.

It's a criminal life, Rog.

I mean, I'm talking joint time.

And if I cover you, I'm in just the
deep. Fuck that game.

Do you remember when we cut Mercedes
loose?

Do you remember them taking away his
business and his house?

Who are you talking to? No, no, no.

Do you remember him calling us on the
phone asking for help because he's

his kid to school with an Uzi in his
lap?

What do we say, Gene, huh?

Sorry, Esteban, I'd love to help you,
man, but the guys upstairs say you're

goods. Well, this is our job.

We are the law, Roger, and we may not be
perfect, but we are better than the

alternative. The alternative keeps its
fucking word.

Hey, Macedo has one chance, Roger, and
that's if you and I get to him first.

Now, you come with me.

Nobody knows about this. I blew the soup
off with bullshit.

Come on. It'll be you and me and him.
Yeah, and then what? Another bullshit

story to get the guy to come back?

Some more fucking promises we're not
going to keep?

I didn't sign off on that, Gene.

I'm out, man.

I retired.

And you watch your ass.

You know, you broke my heart.

You motherfucker.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Oh, did we have a little trouble here,
did we?

Oh, yeah.

Kids.

They don't have anything to do at night.

Breaking windows is their way of
entertaining themselves.

Yeah, kids. Oh, I'll tell you.

Say, um, whose car is this over here?

Why?

I'm just looking for a friend of ours.
We were supposed to meet up with him

here, do some fishing, and, uh...

I'll tell you, that looks like his car.

You know, I don't know.

Guy dropped it there the other day. Said
he'd be back in five minutes.

Never came back.

I see.

Well, you know, maybe it doesn't belong
to my friend after all.

Thanks anyway.

No problem.

You ladies have a nice day.

You too.

Go, Ben.

Honey, I'm home.

Well,

I know I ain't as pretty as Kat, and
Mama's menu is limited.

But you just have to settle.

Chief. Chief.

You need an exercise yard.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Don't shoot me.

Keys.

I don't know where they are. Keys, keys,
keys. Okay, I'm looking, I'm looking.

Yeah, I got it. All right.

Door.

Come on, Chief, open the door.

Come on, Chief. I'm trying, I'm trying.

Come on. Okay, I got it. Come on, let's
go. Inside, inside.

Don't have us show up.

Tell her the keys are on the roadside
outside of town.

Have a nice life, Chief.

I know how you're feeling, and I'm
telling you right now, you can't leave

here like this. You're making yourself
guilty right now. If you're innocent,

God's sake, let me out of here.

Let me out.

You've got to do that, son.

You'll be wanted for the rest of your
life if you don't let me out of here.

This is making you a guilty man.

He's not answering.

I'll go see what I can dig out of Wyatt
Earp.

He'll cruise the town.

Got you, Lott.

Nope.

You better go down there and see if you
can find Ben.

You're right. Thanks, Mom.

Pat, you better go the back way.

Yeah, yeah, back here.

Bam.

Quiet.

You realize Daniel's got your head blown
off?

There's two men.

I think they're looking for you.

You scared the shit out of me.

Hey, wait!

Have I got a little privacy?

Where's Ben?

He's cleaning out the cell.

Be serious.

Is he going to be all right back there?

God damn it, answer me! You can't be
worried about it. Shut up!

You better be worried about it. If
something happens to him, it's as much

your hands as it is on theirs.

Oh, you were so goddamn proud of
yourself.

Oh, I could have killed him, you said.
But I didn't.

Big fucking deal.

What do you think you're doing now?

Do you think this is any different just
because you're not pulling the trigger?

I'll tell you right now. I know who
you're looking for.

I don't know where he went. And he lit
out of here about, uh, oh, ten minutes

ago. And you didn't happen to note his
direction?

Oh, no, my mind was on my own problem.

I can appreciate that.

What are you doing?

Well, pardon my saying so, fella, but
you're a damn poor example to set for

enforcement.

You're probably telling the truth,
though.

I mean, considering how humiliated
you're like this, I don't think you got

reason to protect him.

But... What do you do?

I gotta be sure.

I'll start with your knee.

No, no, no. Come on. No.

Yeah. You got a knee?

No.

Yeah. No. Come on. And your elbows?

No. And by then, I figure I don't know
anything you're hiding. No, but I...

No, no, no Say cheese

You want to buy it?

Sure, why not?

How much?

Fifty bucks.

I'll give you the address of my ex
-wife. She's got all my money.

Too bad she wasn't in there, huh?

You're talking about the woman I love,
son.

There were two bodies in it.

They had two distractions.

Everybody stop and take a look.

Is there something I should know?

This car made of gold or something?

Just broken dreams, boy.

Broken dreams.

I know about that.

My name, well, my real name, is Esteban
Maceda.

Esteban Maceda?

Holy shit.

You're the fellow that testified at
Tommy Orozco's trial?

Who's Tommy Orozco?

Big dope dealer.

Malay. Very big.

I had a small real estate business.

It was doing very well.

But I got greedy.

I made some mistakes.

And I got into big trouble with the DA
and the IRS.

The Fed said, work for us. All your
troubles, go away.

We want you to be Tommy Orozco's friend.

He'll trust somebody like you.

So they set me up with a cover, and I
went to work for Tommy Roscoe.

When they train you to do this thing,
there are some things that they can't

prepare you for. A man opens up to you,
wants to be your friend.

You lie to him.

He shows you loyalty?

Sell him out.

He trusts you?

Betray him.

After the trial, they cut me loose.

We had nothing.

A few days ago, a friend called me. A
friend I didn't even know I had.

He told me they were going to overturn
Tommy's conviction.

The feds would need me back.

And Tommy would need me out of the way.

So I ran.

I didn't even know if I was going to get
out of L .A. alive. I couldn't let my

wife and son come with me. I told them
we'd meet up later.

And I ended up here.

But now, Tommy knows.

This time, he'll come.

One way or another, it finishes here.

How long?

Oh,

sometime tonight, I guess.

Harlan, you and Mama should go around.
and find out whoever's still in town and

tell them, stay off the street. Better
still, if they got someplace to go, they

should go.

No.

This is my fight.

You know, if I'd been you, I don't know
that I'd come back for somebody wearing

a badge.

You got me a little embarrassed about
even wearing one.

Isn't there someone we can call?

The sheriff, the state, he's somebody.

You call any kind of cop, they're going
to ID him.

And they're going to send him right back
to the feds. You know, they get here,

they're going to tear this town apart to
find you.

This may not be much, but it's all that
me and Mama got.

Besides, that's a way for a lot of
innocent people to get caught in a

Got any suggestions?

The hell he does.

Don't try to talk me out of this, Kat.

Because it wouldn't take much.

I'll be back for more of that.

Mercedes and me, we talked it over.

And it's best that you stay over with
Mom and Arliss and

took off with them.

Oh, yeah.

This is a gift from your star tenant.

I want you to have something in hand
just in case.

You know how to use that.

Mother's country, girl.

It's loaded,

and it's got no safety.

You better scat.

Now.

Okay.

I'll see you soon. Well, I hope so.
Yeah.

Be careful. I don't want anything to
happen to you, especially now.

What the hell is my fella doing here?

This place is dead.

He's gone.

If you give me your address, I'll have
him send you a postcard. You could be

pals.

Where is he?

Son, if I open up to you...

I got to live here. I have to hear what
a turd I am for these people.

You should make it worth my while.

You get to keep your life.

How's that for a deal?

Son, at my age, that's hardly a bargain.

I was thinking more along the lines of
$500.

Make it $1 ,000.

Don't push your luck, old man.

Oh, $750.

Oh, $750.

Oh, that's fine.

That's a deal.

He's out at the packing plant, south of
town.

Oye, he's not where you say he is.

I'm coming back for a refund.

You almost overplayed your hand, you
crazy old bastard.

I didn't want them to think I was cheap.

I got a reputation this time.

Besides, Mercedes told me to make it
look good.

I just can't wait for this to happen.

This ain't your damn business, Kat.

I'm gonna make it my business.

These guys are killers, okay?

You see them, you shoot them. Do you
understand me?

You shoot them. No mercy.

All right? No mercy.

I want to believe that you believe that.
Hey, hey, hey. No mercy. Okay.

No mercy. Right. Now we wait. I got it.
All right. Now we'll wait.

Oh, shit.

What?

Raise your right hand.

What?

Raise your right hand. What the fuck
for? Just do it. All right, all right,

right. With the power invested in me by
the town of Desiree, so on and so forth,

you're now my deputy.

Let's go, T.

All right.

You're up there? I know.

Hold it, police.

Remain calm and put your weapons down.

Chinga!

Drop it, Esteban.

I've dreamt about this moment.

You know, I'm not enjoying this as much
as I thought I would.

Tommy! Drop it, Tommy!

Don't even think about it.

Wait a minute, Gene.

Orozco kills me, you kill him, then
you're rid of both of us, right?

That's right.

Drop it, Tommy. It's over.

That's not a bad alternative.

At least I know Maceda's dead.

I like the alternative where I live.

Tommy, I'll kill you.

If I don't kill Maceda, you're gonna let
him run, right?

No, he goes back to a judge and a jury.
It's not my call, Tommy. You said you

were gonna let him go.

That was then. I got the upper hand now.

Drop it, Tommy.

What's in it for me?

You live.

Who knows? Maybe you'll beat it in
court, Tommy.

You got three.

One, two... It's all right.

I guess I don't have much choice.

You... This

is how the game is played, asshole.

You understand, Esteban?

This has to be done.

Now we're even.

I think you better vacate the premises,
Mr. Maceda.

There's a couple of us still standing.

Oh, well.

Who the hell is that?

My old friend, Gene Gere.

The DEA agent?

Yes.

How in the hell am I ever going to
explain all this?

Here you go, eagle -eye.

That should get you a couple hundred
miles.

Well, Chief?

This is you and me in a lifetime of
burnt popcorn.

Yeah. We'll get you to the hospital.

Oh, boy.

You going to drive?

Oh, yeah.

You know, I'm going to let you turn on
that siren real loud.

I'm going to pick this up.

Oh, boy.

Whoa.

It do burn.

It's nasty.

Oh, yeah. You can drive as fast as you
want, too.

Once you get those lights going, just
wail.

Wee!
