Original subtitles

Yes.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Come on, it's special.

Should have been home hours ago.

That's got it.

Thanks.

See you tonight. All right, fellow.

Good night.

My regards to Broadway.

What did I tell you about screwing around with my books? I didn't touch

your fag rags, you understand?

Who the hell else touched your bag?

No you and me in here.

Piss off!

Don't fucking tell me to piss off. I just did, asshole.

Doc, keep your shoes in one place, man.

Fuck you, too.

Fuck you.

Hey! Hey!

Stick, we gotta go!

Can I ask a question?

Do you think it's humane to pump perfectly sane prisoners full of biloxin

and thorazine?

Come on, man, let's get out of here.

All right, we got three minutes.

Let go.

Let go, man.

Get in the box!

Get in the box!

Okay. See you next week. Right.

Night. Night. Thanks.

Yeah. Yeah?

Who's this?

Uh, that's, uh, Maria McGuire. She came a couple of times to visit Montgomery.

2221 Speck Road, Seattle. Is that address current?

I hope so. That's all we got.

May I, uh...

Freeze them. Come on, pick them up.

Thank you.

No,

no.

Oh, your hand's too close to his mouth.

Anything else?

Yeah, I'd like another cup of coffee, please. Okay.

And I'd like a side order of sausage.

Yeah.

How long has he been in there?

About ten minutes.

That is disgusting.

Really?

My God, do you eat like that in front of your mother?

It's an old family custom. Well, I'll tell you, it's not healthy.

You've got to take your time.

Do you have any idea what that does to your digestive system?

No, but I'm afraid you're going to tell me.

You've got to savor the qualities of the cuisine.

First, the smell.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Hurry up. Come on, let's go.

There he is.

All

right,

he's not here.

You check upstairs. I'll take the docks. Oh, no, no.

I picked up the check. You take the fish.

Yeah.

Lace your fingers above your head and turn around towards me. Now you're under

arrest.

Took you long enough

Free air man

free air you don't know what this means you have no idea

I'm Bernie. I'm like some Prince.

And there's some blood on the blade. I'd like to have it tied. Thank you very

much. What is that smell?

What is this?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It looks like somebody's been in a fight, Jack.

What? Nobody in cuffs here?

That must mean something. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I think

that means that somebody got their ass kicked.

Complain. Don't, Bernie.

Okay.

God, you stink.

Hey, guys.

Captain wants to see you in his office ASAP.

ASAP?

I'd like to take a shower first. What do you say?

Please. I wish you would.

But by the sound of his voice, I think he'll see you as he is.

Wait a minute, Chuckles.

Captain wants to see you, too.

What'd you do now?

What the hell happened to you? Looked like I got your ass kicked.

No, no. Don't sit there. No, shut the door.

Gentlemen, this is Agent Thomas Lust from the regional FBI headquarters.

Detective Bill Ramus. Hey, Billy.

That's Chris Lisi over there.

Bill Kosciak.

And Jack Kiesma. Right on.

Right on. He said right on.

The FBI has requested some help over the next couple of weeks.

So for now, your cases have been reassigned.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Bill and I are close to breaking this scene. A

forklift, wasn't it?

From now on, you're working full time on this.

Clean X, please.

In the drawer there.

Mr. Lussell's in charge of this operation, so I'll let him do the

talking.

Yeah, I don't know if you're familiar with Montgomery, but just in case you're

not, two years ago, he killed one of our agents.

He should have had the chair, but he had a sharp attorney, and the local police

were a little too zealous in their pursuit of evidence.

You got a bargain, Captain? Oh, Frank.

Sorry.

Just busted out of Stonehurst, didn't he? Killed a guard?

Yeah, he and his cousin crossed into Wyoming, ditched their truck, and had a

car waiting.

He's in Wyoming. Why are you here?

Well, we think he'll head for Mexico, but he has friends here, so we're

setting up a half a dozen stakeouts.

Now, we'll handle the important ones, but since we're a little short on help,

your men will take the others.

Of course.

Who are we watching?

Now, he has an old girlfriend here. He hasn't seen her for a year and a half.

Her name is Maria McGuire.

Now, you'll be watching her house, and the second precinct will take her at the

restaurant where she works.

Yeah. You hear the keys to the apartment we rented across the street from where

she lives, huh?

We're gonna have to move on this one quick. I know it's short notice, but

this is real bad people we're after.

Do we, uh, get a bug?

Hopefully within 24 hours.

Uh...

Just one other thing.

If you spot Montgomery, report it.

Nothing more.

Remember, this is an FBI operation.

Wait a second. Wait a second.

Excuse me, Captain. There's something a little ripe here. Let me ask you a

question. What you're asking is that you'd like us to sit on our butts on

some low-priority shit detail on the off chance that we're going to run across

some bad people, and then what are we supposed to do?

We're supposed to give you a jingle so that you can make the arrest and get the

keys to the city?

Excuse me, Captain. I'm sorry. I don't like to sound negative, but this is

bullshit.

I'm a cop.

You understand me?

I'm not a security guard.

I see some bad people.

I'm gonna be a little too busy to make a phone call.

I hope the attitude doesn't affect the performance.

Would you like to see how this attitude... Are you through, Mr. Lisi?

We'll call.

What an asshole.

Definitely. Hey! Hey!

I don't want to hear that kind of crap.

I don't want to hear that someone else heard it either. Got it?

This is a 24-hour surveillance.

Jack and Philly take the day shift.

Chris and Bill the nights.

Same routine as last time. Ah, Jesus.

Something bothering you, Mr.

Koschenko?

No, no, don't bullshit me.

What's on your so-called mind?

Well, if it's all same to you sir, I just as soon not be on a stakeout with

them again.

Yeah, sir Why why yeah?

Why?

Chris and Bill are slob sir Steak out that Jack and I were on with them. They

never once cleaned up after themselves. I mean look at smell Lick my left one,

buddy. You left cigar butts all over the place.

You guys never once changed the toilet paper.

You are disgusting.

You are filth. Hey, what about his dog? You let his dog piss all over the car.

Hey, that's a cop.

Come on, come on, come on.

Don't blame it on the dog. Phil did all the pissing. How's that going to be a

piss on you?

Sit down. You see this? Sit down.

I think I broke my zipper. That's enough.

This is not invitating to a prom, boys.

I don't give a shit if you don't like to date.

Now, you gentlemen are going to watch this brawl until the fat lady sings or I

say different.

And if you fuck this up, I'm going to take your nuts and tie them in a knot

and run them through my shredder.

Captain? Yeah?

Phil doesn't have any nuts, sir.

Get out. Get out. Get out.

Now I'm going to. Please.

Please.

All right, that's hers.

And we're there.

Home sweet home.

I just hope the place has got some heat.

Harold's okay with all this, isn't he?

Yeah.

Finally he's gonna kill me if he ever finds out. Gonna be here for a couple of

weeks.

Lucy, you've got some explaining to do.

Very attractive, yeah.

I think Jason will be here.

You don't deserve this.

I think it was that stripper we sent to the captain on his birthday.

I told you we should have sent the woman.

Yeah, I think you're right. I screwed up.

Hello. Hello, babe.

Hi, where are you?

Well, right now I am freezing my butt off staring through a telescope at a

house on Speck Road.

Didn't anyone ever tell you that's against the law?

No personal calls. No personal calls. Chris and I got a stakeout at the night

shift. That does it. I'm crossing the captain off the Christmas list.

Yeah.

Uh, Chris says hi.

That's nice.

So how long is this one supposed to take?

A couple weeks.

A couple of weeks.

Jeffrey will be full grown next time you see him. Yeah, I know. I hope he

remembers me.

All right, listen, I gotta go, okay?

All right, love you.

I love you, too.

Be good. Bye.

Pizza. I think we're in luck.

We got every room covered, except the bathroom.

Hey, you know, maybe you should call Bonnie.

I'm only yelling on the mood.

Well, I can call her. You want me to call her? No, no, no, that's okay. I can

call her.

I can take care of my own love life. Thank you very much. Get away, get away.

She's probably in bed with some other guy.

Poor bastard.

So who are we watching, anyway?

Uh, Miss Maria Guadalupe.

Guadalupe. McGuire.

Irish-Mexican, a waitress going to night school, but apparently not this quarter.

She drives a 1980 Volkswagen, lives alone.

Nothing. Long brown hair, brown eyes.

Five foot six.

Too tall. For us, anyway.

Oh, and the moment we've all been waiting for.

313 pounds.

313 pounds. Let me see that. I would imagine that's fully clothed. Oh, my

God. Oh, she could be the house.

This is disgusting.

I hate this job.

They're dusting off the hot seat for me. On the waterfront.

Who said it?

Um, Lee J. Cobb. All right, 16th president of the United States.

Uh, I don't know. I'll give you a hint.

Abe Lincoln.

Right, right.

Okay, okay, what movie, what movie?

Um, well, this was not a boating accident.

I don't know.

Oh, you're hopeless.

15th president of the United States.

Um, I don't know, Fillmore.

The Buchanan.

Give me another one.

1980 Volkswagen, right?

Right.

The rocks and the sock.

We got some food, buddy.

This is Guadalupe.

Are you going to shoot pictures or draw some from memory? Right, right, right,

right, right, right. Excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me. Pardon me. Pardon me.

Excuse me. My fault. There you go. There you go.

God, she's cute.

It's 2.30.

I've got a picture of this.

She's walking into the kitchen.

Now she's walking across the room. Where's she going?

Looks to be the bedroom.

What's she doing?

Looks like... Like what?

Like she's undressing.

To protect and to serve.

Oh, oh, oh, I love my job so much.

Winston, take a break.

Good dog.

You like that? What'd you teach him that?

That's good.

That's good.

Oh, will you stop that?

Such a kid sometimes.

Oh, yeah, finally.

She came in at 2.30 in the morning. She hasn't been up since.

Goodbye.

Just replace what you steal, all right?

What a dump.

Looks like your place, huh, Phil?

Watch Winston, will you? I'm gonna go take a break.

All right.

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me?

Yeah. So the answer to the quiz, why didn't Bonnie answer the phone, is that

she's moved out.

Do you know what time it is?

Yeah, I know what time it is. We might have to go back to sleep.

I already tried that.

It's too goddamn light.

Well, then pull the shades.

I can't.

She took them.

She took the shades.

She paid for them.

Sorry I didn't get the phone.

All right, what do you want me to do? Let you go back to sleep?

Um, no.

No.

Look,

there's nothing you can do about it right now anyway.

Did you crack the seal yet?

Nope.

Well, then put it back.

Okay, Dad.

Oh, oh, good news.

We, um, we get the phone book tonight.

Yippee.

Kiss Carol for me.

Mm.

Lower. Goodbye.

Hi, Chris.

Okay. And how are you?

I'm tired.

Tired? Mm.

Not that tired.

You ever think about what happens after you die?

After I die?

Yeah.

You know what's going to happen?

I'm going to be reincarnated as a judge.

I forget a bad topic.

So I want to get paid, right?

You figure she still has your money?

Oh, I know she still got my money. How do you know? You haven't seen her in a

year and a half.

Because she doesn't even know she's got it.

I'm sure he'll have some money for bail or something.

I'm gonna come over to your house now, okay? I just... No, Mom, Mom, I'm

hanging up right now, all right?

Goodbye.

Operator. Operator, yeah, can you give me Seattle?

I mean, area code 206.

Yeah, what?

Did you ever say hello?

You ready?

I'm ready when you are, CB.

Okay, let her answer before you cut him.

I don't know.

What did you do?

Yeah, what is it?

Almost there, Maria.

Guess who this is.

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hi.

I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm from the phone company.

Apparently there's a line problem in the neighborhood. Seriously?

Yeah, isn't there something wrong with your phone?

Yeah, my phone's dead. I just can't believe you're already here.

Oh, well, we got a lot of calls, you know.

The whole neighborhood's down.

Wait, um, you know, it's really not a very good time for me right now. I have

to be going. I understand, I understand.

It would only take a couple of minutes, but if it would be a lot easier, I guess

we could come back next week.

Uh, wait a minute.

I'll bet if I don't have it fixed now, it'll be another couple of weeks or

something. No, no, no.

Five days, Max.

Five days.

Come on, Maria.

How can you resist him?

Okay, if it doesn't take too long, come on in. Be out of your way in just a sec.

Bingo. There we go.

Not bad for an old fart.

There's one phone over there and another in the bedroom.

Okey-dokey.

Be out of your way as fast as I can.

Hi, sailor.

She's in the bedroom, tidying up, trying to make a good impression.

Oops, don't look under the bed.

Okay, okay, now she's coming back.

Okay, I'll check down here.

Want to show me the next one? Sure.

She's in the kitchen, just in case you were wondering.

What's that?

Now is no time to be pausing for the news, Chris.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Chris, she is in the house. Stop screwing around, for Christ's sake.

If you blow this and we get busted... God damn it, Chris, come on.

Stop messing around.

Chris, she's right there, for Christ's sake.

Chris, Chris, she's coming.

Chris, she's coming. She's coming. Chris, God damn it.

Jesus Christ!

Look, I really can't wait anymore.

I'm sorry.

Problem? Uh, my brother is in a lot of trouble right now. He's down with the

police at the station, and there's bail I have to take care of, and I...

Something serious?

Yeah, I think it is. Could you come back tomorrow, maybe?

I'm done.

It's fixed?

Well, the problem isn't in the phone. I think it's out on the pole I'm gonna

have to check outside.

It happens to one out of every six men I have to face up to my heterosexuality.

But don't worry, he'll be well provided for.

What the hell were you doing?

What do you mean, what was I doing? I was putting in a bug, for crying out

loud. Oh, really? Is that what that was? Huh.

Well, I don't call going through that woman's drawers putting in a goddamn

bug. Oh, calm down.

Don't blow a bowel, okay?

Crying out loud.

Thought I saw something in her bureau that would tell us whether or not she

talked to Montgomery.

Yeah, she's gone.

Give me the flashlight. I'm gonna go back in there and check it out.

Come on.

No, no, no, no, no.

No? No!

Chris, this is the Fed's party. I am not gonna get my ass canned for a legal

procedure.

This is the Fed's party?

I'm not going to get my ass scanned for a legal procedure.

Give me the goddamn flashlight.

Then nothing's going to happen to you. The worst thing that they could do to

you is that they could suspend you for, what, three years?

Well, that's great.

I'm kidding.

Jesus, the man never knows when I'm kidding. I'm only making a little joke,

a little humor.

What a boner.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Are you kidding me?

You're sorry?

You're making me very nervous.

Oh, I'm making you nervous? That's a hoot.

Okay.

I think I got something real important here.

A bunch of letters here, all from Montgomery.

And the last one was dated about four months ago.

Dear Maria, first you stopped coming to visit me, and now you won't even answer

my letters.

I understand you're lonely. I hear you're seeing a couple of guys.

Sometimes I get so mad that I could wipe out a whole planet and enjoy myself

doing it.

Now, how could she have dumped a charmer like him?

I think we got something to check out. He apparently has a buddy with the

initials BC, right here in Seattle.

Seems to work on the docks.

And now he's talking about some furniture.

He bought her for a present.

Does she still have it?

Apparently got it for her birthday.

It's very important to him.

Get out of the house.

Get out of the fucking house, man. She's right there. She's at the stairs.

Are you fucking with me? No, I'm not fucking with you. Get out of the house.

Chris?

You turn off all the lights.

There's no place that you can hide.

No, no. The rhythm is gonna get you.

Rhythm is gonna get you. Rhythm is gonna get you. What is going on in there?

Rhythm is gonna get you

Sergeant Bernie.

Yeah, this is Chris Lisi.

I'm fine.

Fine. How are you?

Great. I want you to run a make on a guy named Ronaldo McGuire.

Yeah, find out any prior. This is anything at all.

Thanks.

Oh, I'm just enjoying my day off.

Bye.

No way, Chris.

There is no way that one bullet could have done all that damage. No way?

No way? What does no way mean? One bullet came from the grassy knoll, the

other from the Texas school book depository. How naive can you be? Oh, so

you think that the Chief Justice of the United States lied? Is that right, that

Gerald Ford and all those other people lied?

Those bastards.

Why? Well, they ate everything and left us a goddamn dog turd.

Earl Warren left us a dog turd? No, Phil and Jack.

Why do you care about all this stuff? You were five years old when it

happened. I'm going to get those guys, man. I don't know how yet, but I'm a

dad. Give me the keys to the car. We'll go to the supermarket when you want.

How about some truth and justice?

What else?

Donuts.

Why not? We're cops.

Right. How's your phone? Still works.

Do you live in the neighborhood?

No, no. I was in the area working.

No lines down?

Always.

So you satisfied with the phone system, are you? You don't need anything else

installed? Any trim line or video phone or anything at all? You really are a

poor man, aren't you? Why do you say that? It's still working on another

line.

Get it? Got it. Good.

1613?

Hope your phone breaks real soon.

Promise to fix it if it does.

I promise.

Bye.

Eating in between meals.

Eating in between meals.

in my direction, would you?

I'm sorry, I don't know your name.

Bill.

Bill. Bill.

I'm Maria.

Hi.

Can I make you a trade? A cup of coffee for a ride home? My bike has this stupid

flat and it's already getting ready to rain.

Well, um... Please?

Yeah, yeah, what the hell?

We'll put it in the trunk. Come on.

I don't believe this.

Yeah. Hi.

I'm going to be a little late.

No, no, no, no. Take your time.

No, no. I just stopped off for a cup of coffee.

Well, then have two cups.

Nothing going on here. Just some dull old police work.

Great, great.

Tell me, how's that forklift coming?

I'll be back in a half hour.

Where are my donuts, you prick?

You are a nice guy, aren't you?

Don't say that.

Why? You are.

You gave me a ride home. You're unpacking my groceries.

You fixed my phone.

You're nice.

I know, I know, I know. I'm nice. I'm nice. I hate that.

It's a curse.

It's like medium.

I always wanted to be bad.

Here's your own sack.

Think bad is good?

Well, yeah.

I always wanted a little bad. You know, I thought it would make my nice better.

Let me tell you something. Bad isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Bad is bad. And I think right now I've settled for a little nice.

What are we talking

about?

Dinner. You like Mexican food?

You like spicy?

I love spicy.

God, nobody's gonna wanna marry me after this.

Oh, Chris.

Oh yeah.

Oh,

this is ridiculous.

I'm gonna kill him.

I was born on the day of the dead, see, and it's a very big deal in Latino

cultures. They have it to make fun of death and to take it seriously at the

same time.

So every year, as long as I can remember, someone in my family has

always given me some kind of skeleton on my birthday.

And now I've got this full graveyard.

Got a big family?

My younger brother still lives at home with my mom, except this week, and I've

got a ton of relatives in Veracruz.

About your brother, I happen to know a couple of cops.

I could ask around, you know, find out what's going on.

You think they'd tell you?

Yeah, if they want their phones to work.

That would be nice.

I'm sorry.

There's that word again.

I like his smile.

Well, he must be kind of drunk.

Maria, let me ask you something. What, Mr. Bill?

How come you know so much about what's bad?

Well, through this man once.

And he was violent, and crazy, and dangerous, and I...

I was insane.

I was insane because I was with him for a while.

It's all over now.

Did you love him?

Crazy, I think.

Where is he now?

What do you ask?

Why do you think?

I think I have to go.

Yeah, me too. I've got the late shift.

No, don't leave. I'll be home in a couple of years.

You want to know what the best thing you said tonight was?

What?

That you liked my smile.

I know, I know, I know. I'm nice, I know.

I'm not that nice.

Honey, I'm home!

I bumped into her in the goddamn store. What was I supposed to do? Pretend that

I've never seen her before?

Eh?

I was supposed to be watching the house, right? So I was watching the house from

the inside.

Nothing. Here are your donuts, here. I didn't eat one of them. There was a

glaze on it and everything. I got you some Pringles and some Oreos. We're

gonna get together with her again.

Maybe go to a... Oh, give me a break. Hey, come on. Hey, she made me some

dinner. That was it.

Nothing more?

Nothing more.

Okay, Mr.

Liar.

Sergeant Bertie called.

Said that Rinaldo Maguire was arrested on the 17th for a GTA.

Wouldn't just happen to be any relation, would it? Give me a break, will you?

She told me her brother was in jail. I checked it out. I thought it was a lead.

A lead?

Yeah, a lead.

Okay, fine.

You tell me you're checking out a lead.

I'm gonna believe you're... Checking out a lead.

I realize this is a shit detail. Oh, boy. I mean, can we talk, you know?

Nobody's really going to care what we do. Bottom of the barrel. Right.

But I would appreciate that you not act like a walking hard-on while we're

working together.

Excuse me.

Succinctly put.

All the money in the cash register right now.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

I think it is.

You want to reach me up and get me a hunting mat, would you please?

Sorry, buddy. We're closed.

72.

What do we got? What do we got?

273. All right. That's plenty, man. That's all we need. All we need is gas,

Mark. Yeah, it's hardly worth rubbing people out for.

What?

Nothing. What did I do now?

Ronaldo, right?

Ray.

I heard you got yourself into a little trouble.

Your father's got it in for me.

He does.

Why?

He doesn't want me seeing his daughter.

She's pretty precious, huh?

Yeah.

So why'd you hog and wire the car?

We thought it'd be okay.

I was stupid.

It's not very pleasant being in here, is it?

Why do you care?

I just want to find out what kind of a guy you are before I get you out.

Get me out.

I can't take another night in this place.

You like to work with your hands?

I got a job here in construction.

Starts Monday morning, 7.30 to 5. Five days a week.

Gotta be home every night.

That's the deal.

Every night.

Take it and you're out of here.

Mess with me and you're right back in. What do you say?

Deal.

Okay.

What rock did they find you on?

You should be getting some sleep. What are you doing? I

heard you wanted to talk to me.

A couple of cops sitting on a stakeout in 4th Precinct just got caught in a

procedure.

It seems they got over-anxious and blew their cover.

I don't want this to happen here.

You pass it on.

No funny stuff.

No funny stuff. Okay, you got it.

Okay, you got it. You got it.

I'm okay, I'm okay. What are you doing here? Well, I just had a... No,

no, no. What are you doing here? I heard you were supposed to be at work. Well, I

was, but they let me off early so I could see my brother. You know, they

only have certain hours here.

Hey, fish man.

One day we dance again, okay?

Are you in some kind of trouble? No, no, no. He's just a funny friend.

Hey, Chris.

Listen, this is a really bad time to talk to me. Can I call you up and give

you a call? I've got to make a couple of calls, and after I make those calls,

we'll probably call you when I'm finished.

Great. What do you got?

Uh, the usual.

Logged five cloths today.

One from Gail, some friend of hers that just had a fight with her husband.

And one from her mother about a recipe for some sort of shrimp dish.

Oh, a recipe, huh? At least my wife will get something out of this.

Is she over there now?

She's been gone a couple of hours.

This recorder took a dump. We've got to pick up a new one.

Come on, listen.

Good night, John. Good night.

Listen, the recorder's totally shot, so I gotta go pick up a new one. All right.

Leave it to Phil and Jack, right?

How long will you be gone? About an hour. Okay, I'll see you then.

Jesus, they're immature.

How much longer, man?

This carburetor sucks.

It's as useful as a diet crudron.

Come on, let's get out of here.

I'm just gonna call her up on the phone and tell her that you can't see her

anymore. It's really as simple as that.

As simple as that.

Better ruin your career.

Hello?

Hello.

It's, uh, uh, Bill.

I'm okay. Look, the reason I called, there are some things that you and I

have to get straight here.

You know, I have very good taste.

Pardon me?

Oh, no, I've got good taste in food, I've got good taste in music, but most

of all, I've got great taste in men.

I'm not quite sure what we're talking about.

I'm talking about you.

What you did for my brother Ray, what you did for me.

Oh, that.

Oh, that. What do you mean, oh, that? It was a very good thing. what you and your

police friend did.

My brother's out of jail. He's got a new job.

My mother wants to marry you. My brother wants to marry you.

Yeah?

What about you?

Maria?

Yes?

Uh, wait.

Wait a minute. Could you hold on just a second?

Sure. Thank you.

Don't be such a wuss.

Look, Maria, there are things about me that you don't know.

Well, there are things you don't know about me. There isn't a way people go

out. Yeah, yeah, they do. But there are things about me that I can't tell you.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Kind of.

With the law?

In a way. Look, your food is burning.

Your food is... Shit!

How'd you know my food was burning?

Pardon me?

My food was burning. How did you know? Are you psychic or something?

No, no, I'm not psychic. I... I heard the sizzling behind you. I heard the

sizzling. Oh.

You have pretty good ears.

Yeah.

Look, Maria... I just can't see you for a while.

You... You don't want to see me?

This really isn't a very good time right now.

I have to be at work in half an hour or something. Could you give me a number?

I'll call you tomorrow.

My home number?

Yeah. You do have a phone, don't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, what do you think? Of course I got a phone, but I'm hardly ever there.

Then I'll call you at the office.

No, no, no, no. I'm hardly ever there. All right.

Home is better.

555-5050.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Everything okay?

Okay.

Hello?

Hi, it's Maria.

Hi.

Hi. What's wrong?

i wake you no no no it's okay where are you

i'm at home now you listen to me fella just because you said you're having a

little bit of trouble doesn't mean i'm gonna let you off the hook holy shit

minutes early, must be some kind of wreck.

So, everything okay?

What's up? Got a phone call today.

Oh yeah? New recipe?

Uh-uh. Guy named Bill.

Hey, let me see.

Okay, I'll take this downtown, check it out. Uh-uh, we will take this downtown.

Tried to disguise his voice, but I think it was Montgomery.

Nap time's over, boys.

Better keep your eyes open tonight.

Bill?

Good night, gentlemen.

Man, I smell a rat. They are up to something.

I don't know what it is yet, but they're up to something.

I'm gonna find out, though.

You know what it is?

Yeah. Yeah, I have a pretty good idea what it is. What? What? Tell me.

Son of a bitch!

Christ, I am gonna kill him!

What?

I came over for dinner.

Yeah, what's up?

I'm looking for my wife.

Where'd you leave her, pal?

She's here.

He thinks he can barge right in here. She ran out.

She's hiding.

Is she here?

No, that's what I've been trying to tell him. I think maybe you made a mistake.

What do you say, pal?

Go to hell.

Let's call the cops. I want him out of my house. I want you to call the cops

right now. Why don't I help you look for her, huh? What do you say? Hey, Gail!

Gail!

Just relax. Calm down.

There's a chair right behind you. When I lift you up, you're gonna put your ass

right down in that chair. All right? For one.

You're doing okay.

We're doing just fine.

Now, your knee's bad, huh?

That's it. Just relax.

We'll get you some ice for the knee, and we'll get you some aspirin for your

head, okay? Could we have some aspirin?

I don't think it would be a very good idea for you to talk to Gail right now

because you've been drinking and you say pretty mean things when you've been

drinking, right?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

What's your drink?

A little Ryan Coke.

Ryan Coke?

It seems to be my drink.

Give me your hand.

Yeah, I used to get these diamond splinter headaches right between my

eyes, right there. It was murderous.

You ever get those things?

No. No?

Well, I guess it must have been me, huh?

We're doing okay.

We're doing fine.

How about some coffee?

Yeah, coffee's good. Yeah, we'll have some coffee. We'll calm down, talk about

Gail. Can we have some coffee, please?

Sure.

I'm impressed.

It was just in the neighborhood.

I'm beginning to like this neighborhood more and more.

I was a little worried after that phone call.

Yeah, yeah, well, I was kind of out of it. But I guess this isn't the best

time, huh? Uh-oh, the date, the date.

Oh, little Maria, I'm really involved.

Tell me

We'll send somebody else here.

you could just hold me you

could just hold

Where'd they get you?

7.30.

Jesus Christ!

What's wrong?

It's morning.

Are you going to be late for work?

Uh-huh.

Could you call and tell him you'll be a little late, maybe?

Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Listen, you think you could lend me a hat?

Yeah, yeah, hat. I got this really bad skin condition, and it's very dangerous

for me to go out in the sun.

Like a rash?

Yeah, yeah, like a rash. It's, uh, but it's worse.

Oh. Is this one of the things you didn't want to tell me about?

No, no, no.

No, it's nothing, really. It's nothing serious.

I'm not sure it's your color.

Perfectly fine.

Much better.

Thank you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I really got you thinking now, don't I?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Can I borrow this? It's yours.

What are you waving at, huh?

Huh? What are you waving at?

Hey, Jack.

Jack, this may be him. Get on that horn, huh?

All right. Get on that horn.

Lynn, Jack Pismo, Specro Steakout. We have a man running from the house.

Caucasian, about 5'10". Jeans, jacket, pink hat, and he's heading south.

Caucasian, 5'10". Jeans, jacket.

Pink hat? Yeah, pink hat and a shawl. He sent us out.

Asshole.

Get down.

Get away from me.

Now.

Did we, uh, practice safe sex?

Hello? Hi, it's Maria.

Hi.

Hi. What's wrong?

Did I wake you?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's okay.

Where are you?

I'm at home.

And you listen to me, fella. Just because you said you're having a little

bit of trouble doesn't mean I'm gonna let you off the hook. Holy shit.

I have a videotape of a man leaving the Speck Road house.

Now, we don't know if it's the same man that's on the phone or if he has any

relationship with Montgomery.

We're not taking any chances.

We also found this.

Bill!

And that's the last fucking straw.

You break it.

Hey.

Hey, hey, I'm serious, man. It ends right here.

Either you break it off or you get your ass reassigned because I'm not going

down with you.

I busted my ass to make Detective before 30. I'm not going to let you fuck that

up.

You got that, Chris?

You used to be a hell of a cop, man.

Get your shit together.

Ah.

Uh-oh.

Bacon on the left. Bacon burgers on the left. Great.

Damn it!

Get in the back.

Use the shotgun.

I'm not shooting at cops.

Get in the back, man.

How far are you going to take this?

Watch this.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, shit.

Ah!

Jesus!

Just hang in there.

It's over, man.

It's over.

It's never over till it's over.

Keep your head down, man.

Keep your head down.

Oh, it's gotta stop, man.

What the hell are you doing? We're blowing this pop stand.

It's over.

They got Montgomery?

Yeah, a couple hours ago.

Couldn't get many details, but apparently there was some big shootout.

Their car ended up in the Nisqually River and no one came out.

So, we get a pat on the back.

Job well done.

Next case.

You know, you were one lucky son of a bitch.

What are you gonna do about her? Oh, man, I... I think I

love her. I really do.

Well, I hate to think you risked it all just because you liked her.

Yeah, yeah.

Now comes the hard part.

Say, how do you feel about going across the street and telling her that I'm a

cop and I'm not a phone man and I've been lying to her and I've been taking

pictures and looking at her through telescopes and... Yeah, I didn't think

you'd like that.

You know, I always thought it would be you that screwed up.

Well, maybe I'll learn from your mistakes.

Probably not. No.

Good luck.

Good luck.

All right.

You want it by the law, aren't you?

Is that what you think?

Well, I heard sirens this morning after you left.

The police follow you here?

I don't think I realized until just now the size of the hole that I dug for

myself.

How much trouble are you in?

You're not going to like me very much when I tell you this.

Oh, God.

I never should have let this happen.

But I did.

I want you to know before you start hating me, and you will start hating me,

that I've fallen in love with you.

Don't, don't, don't.

I don't work for the phone company.

And my name is not Bill.

It's Chris.

You're a cop?

I'm a detective.

I'm staking out the home of an ex-girlfriend of an escaped federal

prisoner.

You've been watching me?

From where?

Across the street.

And my phones?

Maria.

Listen to me.

You guys are great.

I hope I didn't disappoint you.

Maria?

Maria? Maria,

listen.

Hold it a minute.

Listen to me! Listen to me! I was doing my job, goddammit!

Now, whether you like it or whether I like it, it doesn't make any difference.

There wasn't any fun in it.

And what happened between you and me was... was not part of it. It was my

mistake.

Maria.

I wanted to tell you. I just... I couldn't.

You broke my heart.

I said you were

dead.

I made it.

Maria, will you just think about it for a minute?

Listen to me.

What the fuck is that?

Okay, I couldn't tell you that I was... You couldn't tell her you were what?

You couldn't tell her you were what?

Who is this guy?

You... Is this the guy?

Is this the reason?

You want to take a walk in the other room, pretty place?

Take a fucking walk.

Christopher... Christopher Leachie? Leachie.

Leachie.

So, Leachie, what are you doing bothering my old lady? We had a fight.

Oh, you had a fight?

That's too bad. What was it about?

None of your business.

Watch it, pal.

It is all my business.

Now, what was it about? She found out I was violating my parole, okay?

What kind of candy-ass crime did you commit, Chris? Did you steal some old

lady's handbag, huh?

What'd you do?

Hey, take it easy. Take it easy. What did you do? Don't tell me to take it

easy.

What'd you do?

I robbed banks.

Robbed banks.

Could you get me a knife, honey?

What? Have a seat, Christopher.

Get me a knife.

You due time?

Year and a half.

Where?

Walla Walla.

Give me the knife, honey, would you please?

I said give me the knife.

You know who I am?

No, man, I don't know who you are.

I don't believe you.

What the hell is the matter with you?

I just wanted to know what these things were stuffed with.

They're made of money.

I had some friends at Walla Walla. You probably know some of them. You know

Cletus Zink?

Nope.

You don't know Cletus Zink?

You know Mad Dog Ross?

You gotta know Mad Dog.

No, I don't, but it was a big place.

You don't know Cletus Zink, you don't know Mad Dog Ross?

Who the hell do you know?

Do you know Eddie Gant?

Hmm?

Yeah. Yeah, I did know Eddie Gant.

What was he in for?

He killed a cop.

Hello?

Yeah. Guess who this is.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, shut up for a second, but yeah, I can only say that the reports of my

demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Listen, man, I don't have time to talk. Where are we gonna do this? We have to

do it now.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Okay. All right, I'll meet you there in 20 minutes.

Pack a bag.

We're taking a trip.

What is it? There's something out there.

You! Get out the front door. Just relax. Get out the front door. Just relax. I'm

not part of this shit. Lock the front door and the back. Get out.

Get out.

I will be back.

Jesus Christ.

What the fuck's going

on? I don't know, man.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Get him inside.

Hey, back off.

How did you know I was here?

How did you know I was here?

You don't want to answer me? All right, you say goodbye to your mama.

Richard, don't. He wasn't following you.

He was following me.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, I violated my parole, remember? He's been following me for a week. I

made you on Saturday, asshole.

You don't do your job very well, do you?

Look, I got a car right outside.

I can drive you to wherever you want to go.

Cuff his hands behind him.

If he gets loose, you die!

You may think serving time and having a couple of cops on your ass gives me a

reason to trust you. Well, let me tell you something, pal. The last people in

the world I trust are ex-cons. Let's move.

So, what's the deal with this guy? I mean, really, what is the deal with this

guy?

Huh?

I don't even know who he is.

Isn't love great, Chris?

One minute you're a god, next minute you're a scum sucking pig.

You going to Canada?

Are you a travel agent?

Drive, sucker.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Hey, shut up!

Come here, come here. I gotta talk to this guy for about five minutes.

Could you take a walk and just come back in five minutes? What for?

Just take a walk, will you?

You're gonna kill him, aren't you?

Well, I'm not gonna make a lot of money.

Expect me to go with you after you do this? What do you want me to do? Let

them go? Do I look stupid?

If I let them go, I am dead.

How long do you think it's going to take for them to pick me up if I let them go?

You know what you want?

They're going to die, not me.

Why? Why?

Because that guy's a cop. And that guy has been inside you.

Now get out of my way. No.

You're not going to stop me?

Maria, get out of my way.

I mean... That's all.

Maria, get out. No! Richard! No!

No! Richard!

Don't you ever hit me. You understand?

Jesus Christ, that guy's a cop.

I know he's a cop.

His hands are cuffed. Not him, the other one.

No! Get off the table!

I was supposed to give you a call, wasn't I?

I forgot.

Is he going to be okay? Not if you don't keep out of the way.

Hey, man.

How you doing? You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just a little tired.

A little tired, huh? Well, listen.

You go home, you get plenty of rest.

Because when I get better, I'm going to break both your legs.

You're dust, Lisa. You hear me? Dust.

Not only did you hit me once, but twice. This is one of the worst nights of my

life. Well, I just want to know if she's going to be okay.

He's okay.

Okay. Let's think she's got something going on with that girl. He wants an

investigation. What are you talking about? He said you could be in a lot of

trouble.

Yeah. I told him you're always in trouble.

You saved my life.

You know what that means, don't you?

No. What?

You belong to me now.

What is your name really? It's Chris. Chris?

I love you, Chris.

I love you too.

I'll take you home. Okay.

What a boner.

Is it love, is it, is it love?

The broken record goes round and round In a circle

without a sound I'm underwater in overdrive

You hide in laughter what's on your mind Is it love,

is it love or laughter?

Why can't you tell me?

Is it love? Is it love?

Is it love? Is it love? The rapture.

Why can't you tell me?

Is it love?

Is it love, is it love we're after?

Why can't you tell me?

Is it love, is it, is it love?

Is it love, is it love we're after?
