Lover, where are you?

Stop messing around.

I want you here now.

Come on down.

I have something for you.

Who's there?

God.

It's about time.

Let's put the mask.

Are we getting a little kinky now?

Everything was going great for me until the night I was supposed to meet Elaine.

Sweet, sexy, and always ready for anything, Elaine.

I was in total control of my life up to that point, or so I thought.

Until that call.

She was desperate to see me. I found myself saying yes when I knew I should

just stay away.

Something came up that night, and I made other plans.

I never showed up, and I hadn't heard from her since.

No big deal.

However... That was the last that anybody saw her.

It's definitely a missing persons.

What about the night watchman? Saw nothing, but I found these.

Thank you.

What do you got there?

Not bad.

You know, I'm wealthy too. You know, this could be a motive.

Not bad.

Maybe a ransom.

Definitely loaded.

I don't know what attack these under.

I think he's under Chanel number five.

It's David, Liam.

I know you're there.

Listen, I need to talk to you about the club. It's urgent.

Just call, okay?

They say working hard for your soul desires will pay off in the end.

I was a firm believer in that.

I'm the owner of a brand new trendy nightclub which was opening up very soon

in Hollywood, and I finally met the woman of my dreams.

Her name was Chloe.

And she was incredible in every way.

Chloe really turned my life around.

I was the man with everything, and like so many twists and turns in life, I

didn't see what was coming around the next corner.

Hey.

Oh, ow.

I'm sorry.

It's all right, honey.

You've been really tense lately. What's going on with you? It's about the club.

It's always about the club, it seems like, these days.

I can't wait till the 14th here.

What is it with the 14th?

The 14th is my father's birthday, and it's also the opening of the club.

He'd be proud if he were around today.

Well, you know, don't forget that I'm here for you, too.

I can help you out. I know. I'll be okay.

Thank you.

Look, I gotta go down to the club right now.

David's down there by himself.

And he doesn't do very well alone. He's in charge of construction now.

So I gotta take off, okay?

All right.

You wanna help me out with this?

Yeah.

Thanks, babe.

All right.

See ya.

Hey, you want to get together later and call up some memories?

Yeah, I'll try and slip away. How's that?

Cool.

Bye. See ya.

What I want to know, why are these expenditures and the assets, why are

they not lining up? I don't understand.

You guys are just spending way too much.

Well, just fix it, Brian.

I mean, we pay you to take care of the numbers, right? Yeah, yeah. And you need

to remember that if these numbers don't work, then we all go down together.

Why would you even say something like that?

Yeah.

Hey, forget it.

Hey, where the hell have you been?

Do you even realize how many messages I left for you?

Got held up.

Yeah, well, I hope she was worth it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What's up with Ron?

Having a bad day. We need a 1.5 million completion bond.

Or no permit. No permit, no February 14th opening.

All because some city pencil-pushing asshole wants two goddamn support bars

replaced. Push the opening night back.

They won't break us.

No way.

Liam! No, look, I want a full account of all transactions.

You know I'm not good with numbers.

I don't think it's wise to pull Brian away from our backlogged tax reports

right now.

We open February 14th.

All or nothing.

Remember, if it's nothing, we're on that plane to Mexico, drinking tequila till

we die.

Two fat hoes on the beach.

Look, don't book the tickets just yet, alright?

Hey guys, how you doing?

Hey, can you get this crap out? Oh yeah, sure thing.

The only way to fire that guy is a smartass.

So what's eating you?

Look, we've been friends through high school, right?

Yeah, good days, bad days, we got through it though.

Barely. You know, you always looked out for me back then, so all I'm trying to

do is look out for you now.

I know.

I'm just trying to show you that life isn't as serious as you take it, buddy.

Lighten up.

Yeah, it's a regular bed of roses.

Only your roses are growing out of a pile of shit.

That's funny, man. You crack me up.

Shit. I just went under you in another parking ticket.

I'll be sure to give him the message. Thank you.

Good morning.

Any messages?

Uh, Brian's been on the phone, and Catherine Moore is in your office.

Okay, can you get Brian back on the phone for me, sweetheart?

Sure. Oh, and take care of this parking ticket.

Now I know why meter maids wear running shoes.

Have I ever catch up with the one that gave me the running shoes? They wear

running shoes?

I never looked. Yeah, and they're really quick.

Ooh.

Good morning, Mr. McKnight's office.

Did you ask me here for business, leisure, or both?

Well, the completion bond for Manix won't be turned for approval in time.

I'm zipping, please.

I need it opened by the 14th.

Well, it's out of my league, Liam.

Thus have a 30-day minimum processing.

You change the date, slap your notary stamp on there, and then boom, I'm in

business. I mean, come on, you're right there in the office. It's a two-second

job. It's a minimum seven years for a federal offense like that.

But if I help you out, what's in it for me?

You help me first, then we'll talk about a deal.

Brian.

Yeah, I talked to David. I mean, how come nobody told me about this deal

that's going on?

David was supposed to be taking care of everything.

Yeah, yeah, but things got all screwed up and out of control.

Oh, that's why we hired you to watch David.

What?

Listen to me.

We need to get together. I need to talk to you about something really serious

here.

Um, what?

Uh, hey, uh, Brian, I might need to call you back in a little bit.

I'm kind of busy right now.

See ya.

Liam.

Liam?

Hello? Liam?

Yes, I'll have him call you right away.

Okay, thank you very much.

Marianne, would you set up a meeting with Liam tomorrow?

What's the meeting for?

I'll think of something.

You're much too pretty to be cooped up in an old, stuffy office.

If you ever get too bored, come see me.

Come see me anyway.

Hey, yourself.

That smells good.

Well, I wanted to surprise you.

And if you're a good boy, there's even dessert.

Oh, really?

What's for dessert?

Well, first, tell me if you've been a good boy.

A scout's honor.

Then, let's see.

How does cream of honey sound?

Ooh, that sounds good.

And it looks like I'm going to be here for a while.

Did I ever tell you why I became a cop?

Nope. But I bet you're about to.

I found this in the trash.

I thought those things went out with the 70s.

Well, I'm old-fashioned.

Well?

Well, what?

Was it bothering you?

Who wouldn't it bother you, Leanne?

Chloe, what bothers me is you think you need to pry. Remember asking her

questions, telling her lies, huh?

I remember our deal, Liam, but I wasn't prying.

Maybe you shouldn't leave your past lying around like an open book.

Is this going to take long?

Come on. I mean, listen.

I mean, those detective stories, they would find a body on, like, say, page

12.

By page 80, they have the whole thing wrapped up. I mean, come on, that was

brilliant.

Yeah, that was... Great.

Give them a call.

Maybe they have one of those 900 numbers.

Maybe they can help us.

You know you're the only one for me, sweet thing.

Remember?

No questions.

Guy, why do you keep doing that? What?

Look, you know what? Sometimes you just move too fast for me.

You know exactly what you want out of life.

I need my caffeine fix just to get going every day. It's like... What's the

matter? Nothing. You know, I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm late and

I gotta go.

So how do you men put up with us?

Well, how do women put up with us? I'm older.

I'll see you later, okay? My American philosopher.

There is food in the oven for you.

You didn't have to do that.

It's all right. I know I didn't have to. I wanted to.

Well, what about you?

I'll get something at the gallery. Don't worry about me.

Bye.

Liam McKnight.

I'm Detective Wilson.

This here is Detective Ferguson.

Mind if we ask you a few questions?

About what?

Don't worry. It's not going to take too long.

Can we come in?

Yeah, sure. Come on.

Can I get you two some coffee?

No, thank you.

Yeah, sure.

I'll have some.

So, Mr. McKnight, do you know Elaine Mirren?

Thank you.

You have sugar?

Yeah, sure.

I want to know what your association with her is.

I thought I was answering him.

Me? Yeah, yeah, I know Elaine Mirren. She's a good friend of mine.

Elaine is missing.

We believe kidnapped.

What? You have any cream?

Did you see Elaine Mirren last night?

Cream. What time? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cream.

No, what time?

No, I didn't see her last night. I was here all night.

Um, where were you last night?

I was here all night. I was here with my girlfriend, Chloe Moreno. I mean, I got

her phone number if you guys want to call her. Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.

Your outline's coming a little bit too fast for somebody who's not a suspect.

Not yet, anyway.

What? Is something burning?

Shit.

We'd appreciate you sticking around, though.

Yeah, sure. I'll do whatever I can.

Damn it.

Excuse me.

Nice place you have here.

Not that.

Yeah, treats me well. I like it. Look, here's my office and home numbers.

So if there's nothing else, I gotta be going.

We'll be in touch.

So what do you think? I don't like detective stories.

What? They're too predictable.

Look, besides that... Besides that you eat way too much sugar?

I say we put him at the top of the list.

Marion, get David on the phone. Tell him to meet me at the bar tonight, could

you?

Alright, thanks.

Sorry, I'm late.

So, you got something for me?

I am gonna make you work for this pie, big boy.

Relax.

So, what'll it be?

Just give me a beer. Got it.

Okay. Okay.

Good. Get back to me then.

So, what's the origin?

Catherine Wong and David Bradley.

Catherine works...

The attorney's office.

Billings and permits.

She's going to help us with the completion bond.

Why don't you tell the whole goddamn club now? I'm sure they never heard the

last part.

It's okay, sweetheart. He's with us.

Pleasure.

Excuse us for a second.

You get a beer?

Yeah, give me one too.

So, where'd you pick her up? She seems like a real live wire.

Catherine's business, that's all.

Yeah, right.

I thought you were the monogamous hero these days. Whatever would Chloe think?

But Chloe won't know anything now, will she?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Where is Chloe anyway?

She's working.

This hour, but would you just drop it? Huh?

I'm just saying, you know, I'm not one to pry in your personal life just You

know, this is this dude opening this club really got me uptight and there's

something else I need to talk to you. Yeah Look about that. I think I may have

come up with a solution but I Don't think you're gonna like it.

What the hell are you talking about?

Dearest darling mommy dearest

Come on. You know I'm not good with this family stuff.

Hell, David, I haven't talked to my mom in two years.

Ah, um, nearly forgot.

I jotted down those figures you wanted.

Oh, thanks. It's about time.

So, what happened to you last night?

Um, I got into some shit with Brian.

Why, did you miss me?

Oh, yeah.

I got two visitors this afternoon.

Two detectives.

What did they want?

Well, they're asking me about Elaine.

I mean, these guys were really on it. They're pumping me for information.

I'm not following.

Elaine's missing, that's what.

This is...

Back to you. Yeah, they're trying to make me the pin-up boy. You know, if you

hear from her or see her... Yeah, yeah, I'll keep you posted.

Now, how about that drink?

Ah, sorry, sweetheart. I got an early morning.

Oh, it's worth a little worker.

If only they knew what our little boy was up to.

But they won't, will they?

No, they certainly won't.

Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?

So... Where were we you're buying me that drink

Maybe I should have seen it coming my best friend and

partner making it with all my old girlfriends If a man cheats in business

Why not cheat in love?

You are some kind of woman I know Hey, maybe we

can do this again sometime Maybe but in the meantime a girl

does need her beauty sleep

Hey, baby. Just wanted to call and tell you I miss you.

Can't wait to see you again, sweet thing.

You look bad.

What time is it?

I thought I'd come by and see how you're doing since you haven't returned my

call.

I'm not disturbing anything, am I?

Well, what do you think?

Ran into David.

Says you and he are running into trouble.

I'd rather you didn't touch that.

It's only a toy.

Yeah, maybe to you.

Might have a buyer on the East Coast willing to buy some of those shares you

have.

I got that covered.

Don't worry about it.

What if he's willing to buy double what the going rate is with a fixed

percentage?

Well, how soon?

One or two weeks, tops.

Ah, got your interest.

I'll get a hold of you as soon as I get something.

Like most people in business, I thought I needed a partner to open up my club.

My partner was David.

Who else could you trust to share the dream of a lifetime but your old high

school buddy?

All the hot dates, fast cars, and drunken nights on the town.

Nothing has changed.

We're still solid.

I don't know. He's not here yet. David, this is serious.

I need to talk to you about this. We're talking serious dollars here.

Late again, old boy, huh?

I had a rough night.

What, did Mommy Dearest come through?

No, I got it covered.

But how?

Just leave it alone, David, all right?

Look, you two, I'm going to send the faxes and the deal memos to everyone,

all right?

All right. Listen, is there anything else I need to do before I take off?

Yes? No? No, no, thanks.

Hey, Brian.

Is that the deal getting to you two? Yeah, I cut myself shaving. I think

that's the next investment, a new razor.

You're cutting me out, and I don't like it.

Look, you had your chance, right? I'm taking over now. It's for your own good,

David. You want to lose everything we already put into this?

I know what you're up to.

Hey, look, don't talk about something you know nothing about.

You look like you want to whack someone.

It's you.

Thanks, I'm fine. And how are you?

Fuck you.

That bad, huh? Well, you know, I know this little deal is a charade to pull

him away. Are you jealous of him, or is it something else?

You stuck-up, artsy bitch. You can't pin him down.

You should realize that by now. You know, just because he's grinding the old

meat Muppet up inside you doesn't make you Miss Controlling Pussy of the Month.

You've been dogging me for some time now. Are you just jealous?

Jealous because you can't always get what you want?

You see, that's where you're wrong about me.

Because in the end, I always get what I want.

Hey, hot stuff.

Never mind him. He's in a bitchy mood today.

He'll get over it.

J'ai très joli.

Thank you. You look handsome yourself.

You look happy. What's going on?

I don't know. I just realized what a lucky man I am to have you. I miss you,

sweet thing.

Aww. What do you say we go have dinner in the most expensive restaurant down in

Ina?

I'll see what I can do.

Who's Elaine, Liam?

Cops came.

And I told them I was with you all night, except for the fact that I

wasn't.

You told them that?

Maybe. No games, Chloe. What'd you tell them?

I told him that my Liam would never be with another woman behind my back. And

you weren't, right?

Right. And I told him that I was with you all night.

I love you, Chloe.

Even though you drive me crazy.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah. First time I really do.

So who is she?

I promise. I'll tell you when this is behind us. Deal?

Deals turn sour grapes.

But this time I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Mr. Liam McKnight.

So what do you say I pick you up around 8?

Um, actually, let's make it 9.

I'll tie it up until then.

You want to talk about it? I'm a good listener.

Um, it's nothing I can't work out by myself.

It's okay.

Well, why don't I bring dinner to you?

That sounds delicious.

Mr. Goldberg.

What a surprise.

Place looks good, Liam.

Coming along nicely.

Can I get you a drink?

No, thanks.

Just here for a quick visit.

Mr. Goldberg, I understand why you're upset, and I want to assure you that

everything is under control here.

Upset?

Not at all.

I just got off the phone with Mr. David Bradley, and he informed me you are not

going to make your opening.

Yes, I will.

I'm afraid you've been misinformed.

Will won't. Let's avoid the tedious argument.

But I will inform you that if you miss your deadline, I become the majority

shareholder, and we'll keep you on as manager.

Of course.

I appreciate that. That's really sweet of you. But we will open on time.

Well, we'll see each other on February 14th.

Yes, we will.

You know, we're both sporting men.

Let's say we put an extra five grand on it, just for fun.

Five grand?

Sure, no problem.

You've really outdone yourself.

It's just my style.

David, what did you tell Goldberg? He just left the club. I want to see you

before our little get together tomorrow night.

No, I won't come.

Look, I told you it's over.

No, we're finished.

Hey, what's wrong?

It's nothing.

Voila. I'm going to treat you to a taste of the honest

intent.

That was really good. Thank you. You're welcome.

There's things you haven't told me.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a chef.

My father was the greatest.

Worked at the finest hotels.

And one time his food was returned.

So he goes out to the customer to apologize.

And that customer was Marjorie.

He died when I was six.

Heart attack.

I guess you probably had enough.

I'm sorry.

Oh, who was Marjorie?

Marjorie was my mother.

You know, it's unfortunate that we don't get to choose our parents.

Do you see her much?

Not if I can help it.

Okay, your turn.

Well, I don't have much of anything interesting to talk about.

Oh, come on. There's got to be something. We've been going out for how

long? Four months?

Three months, one week, two and a half days.

Oh, I'm impressed.

Right down to the day.

Here's to counting the days and the nights.

So... Why haven't you told me that you're married?

Shit.

Didn't I tell you no questions?

Hey sunshine. I'm sorry if I knew it was gonna upset you I wouldn't have asked

Look, it's not it's not your fault. Okay, maybe at a later time I can talk

about this, but sometimes it's just a little too painful Well, sometimes

holding it in can be worse You know, we need a break we need to say get away and

get to know each other Looks like you've seen the other side of me

Well, I would have been scared if I had.

If you don't mind, we need to cut this short because I have an appointment.

Okay.

We'll see you tomorrow.

He's here.

Are you ready to do this?

I'm always ready.

Let's do it.

Let's.

Hey, come on.

Just relax, Mr. McKnight. This is strictly pleasure.

Katherine, I've had a long day.

But I have a surprise for you.

Who's that?

This is the surprise I was talking about.

I'll let her introduce herself to you.

Well, as you can see, we had a few setbacks, but if all goes as planned,

we'll be open on time as scheduled.

Yeah, well, we'll see, right?

Gentlemen, excuse me for a second.

David,

what the hell's going down with Goldberg?

Well, right now he's at 5%, but if we don't open on time, he takes 51%.

Giving him control. And you knew about this?

You know how much Goldberg likes to gamble. It was the only way. I thought

you knew. It was on the contract we signed.

So you've been fucking with me about pushing back the opening of the club?

Hey, you always work better under pressure.

We have a problem?

Oh, no, no, listen, that's nothing that can't be handled. It's just, you know,

part of the deal.

Yeah.

Seems a little bit of a shaky deal, huh?

Not really.

We just need to talk about some numbers. What is this?

Mr. McKnight.

What? I think it's about time you come downtown and talk to us.

William, we have specific questions we need to ask you.

We can do it here if you like.

Come on, let's go. Look, take care of this, all right? Come on, come on, come

on. See you.

For your confession, what do you think it's for?

Look, I've been here all night.

If I'm being booked or something, I would like you to notify my attorney.

Well, Mr. McKnight, that all depends on what you're going to tell us in the next

two minutes.

See what he's saying here, McKnighters?

What's your motive?

You can't be serious. I wouldn't hurt anybody.

That is, unless you count the cockroaches that kill while I'm watching

TV at home.

So what, are you a comedian now?

So, tell us.

Why do your alibis keep turning up missing, then?

You know what I think?

I think you're guilty as hell. That's what I think. I think you stopped

payments for services rendered.

That's what I think.

Those women were friends of mine. Can you say friends?

Can you spell it, dumb fuck?

Fuck you, asshole.

Sit down!

Come on, fine, fine.

I'm gonna be all over you like ticks on a terrier, McKnight. I am taking you

down.

Why don't we keep pushing him while we have him? He wasn't telling us anything.

Well, he's guilty.

He's our man.

I don't know. He made bail a few hours ago, all right?

You know, I don't know if he's our man. I mean... Listen.

He's guilty.

I'm telling you, he is.

These women keep disappearing, but we haven't even got one call for ransom.

Maybe he isn't.

What? Whoa.

I gotta check something out.

I'll be back in a few, all right?

You look good.

You know, I could... Lately, forgot about our meeting. I'm sorry.

Lucky for you, it gave easy.

You know, I stood outside your office for an hour until finally I called

David.

I can't believe Mr. Liam McKnight is feeling guilty about something.

Look, I'm getting really desperate here. Are you sure this is going to work?

Just leave it to me.

I just leave these paperwork for you to look through.

Do you know, I... I do have some time to spare.

Maybe we could go for a dip.

Do I have a say in the matter?

Actually, you don't.

I was just about to knock.

What do you want, Liam?

Oh, well, you left us behind the other night.

Well, thanks.

I was just about to go, so... Hey, look, I don't know what I did, but maybe if

you explain it to me, I can fix it, huh?

Well, I guess I'm playing the jealous woman, and I have no right to, right? I

have no hold over you.

What are you talking about?

I saw you with a woman.

Oh, baby, you got that all wrong.

She's just a friend of mine. That's it.

That's not good enough.

Oh, come on. Look, we went out a while back.

We had a date. It's over. It's nothing. She's just helping me out. That's it.

Liam, don't play games with me.

I heard easy. I already told you that.

Look, you're the only woman in my life, right here and right now.

I think that you're just too free of a spirit for me.

Oh, we both are. That's why we need each other. You know, you gotta find the fire

inside.

Look, I'm ready if you are, huh?

Lady, I have enough problems without you adding to them.

I'm sorry. You just gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Whatever.

I'll get back to you shortly. All right.

Same MRO as last one. Any prints?

No, so far. We're still checking. All right, all right.

Call for me, Ferguson.

I'll be right back. Okay.

But there's another thing. It's really weird, but there was bits of nail polish

left on the rubber.

Nail polish?

Really?

Listen,

is this the Morrow kidnapping?

Yeah. The beer bottle? The prints match McKnight's. We might be able to tie him

to this one. Come on, let's go. Really? All right.

Brian's been calling. Sounds upset.

Yeah, so I'm calling back.

As a matter of fact, I had quite a few people I needed to call.

Oh, and how was your night, Marianne?

Hello?

Oh, my God, Linda. What are you doing here?

Hi.

So good to see you. When did you get into town?

I just got in this morning.

But I have to check back in at 3. I have an international flight. Come on.

I know, I know. But hey, at least I'm here. It's okay if I stay, right?

Absolutely. When have I ever said no, baby?

Hey, uh... Who's the big admirer?

I know residents.

Oh, hi, sweetie.

Yeah. I'll be back tonight.

Me too.

Bye.

So you still haven't told me about who the flowers are from?

I don't know if I'm ready to yet.

Come on. You've got to get over Paul, sweetie.

It's time to move on.

I've really missed you. It's so good to see you.

I've missed you, too.

You know, it's always been very easy for us.

Do you think that you'd be upset if I had met a guy?

Well,

I don't know why it would have to change.

But I just don't want to lose our friendship. You know, it's really...

important to me and... Well, I don't want to lose our friendship either,

baby, but let's look at it this way.

You know, if... Look, I'm always going to love you, okay?

Whether it's just as a friend.

Oh.

I just want you in my life.

You remember when I told you that I'd give something up?

Yeah.

My parents died in a horrific car accident when I was 13 years old.

It took me a long time to get over that, and I was very angry with them for

leaving me without even saying goodbye.

So love and regrets has been my whole story, my whole life.

Well, it doesn't have to be that way this time if you don't want it.

Okay.

Will you do whatever I want?

Anything.

You know, when I was little, I always wanted to buy a jet and fly

around the world.

Well, what stopped you? I mean, besides a million dollars?

Um, well, I just never got around to it.

I was always caught up in trying to keep up with myself, I guess.

Well, at least you have dreams.

Everybody has dreams.

You've got to reach inside yourself and figure out where they are.

That's easier said.

Speaking of reaching inside... Don't you dare. Come on, stop.

Okay, that's enough.

All right.

David Bradley.

We need to ask you a few questions.

What

are

you doing here? He needs five minutes with you. That's it.

You know what? Tell him I'll call him later. I promise.

Okay?

I just can't deal with this right now. Go.

Hey, who's this guy? Hey, honey.

No, it's nothing. Who's that? You know what? I don't want to talk about it

right now.

Who is that? Look, I don't want to talk about it right now. Just go away, Liam.

I'm at a loss for words here.

What's going on, huh?

Look, you just don't understand.

I'm afraid I'm going to lose you.

You're not gonna lose me. You're not gonna run me off. I just wanna know what

the hell's going on.

Right?

All right, look, I promise you, but I'll tell you about it later.

Okay.

Thanks for the job.

Yeah, no problem. Hey, by the way, there's a couple of guys over there

asking a whole bunch of questions about you.

Oh, yeah?

Send the two lovebirds some drinks on the house.

Ah, sure thing.

Hey, compliments on the house.

I can guess.

Yeah.

The investors are here.

Hey, where's Chloe?

Is that all you can think about sex?

I've been seeing a lot of that girl. It's not serious, is it?

No, I just like having her around.

Maybe I am.

She's not right for you, Liam.

And what don't you like about her?

She asks too many questions.

About what?

Usual? Old acquaintances?

Whatever. Cannot believe not a damn thing in the library, poor Cheever.

Yeah, don't worry about it. We will nail it.

Yeah, this story just continues to get more and more interesting.

Yeah.

Nice.

Nice job here. It's going to be very successful. Thank you.

I was touch and go for a while, but we pulled it off.

I always knew we'd make it. I had complete faith in Liam here. Man of

faith, eh?

Oh, well, I'll be expecting my five grand tomorrow.

Oh, well, you know, we'll discuss it. Yeah, we will.

Excuse me, Liam.

Yes. Can I get a word with you, please?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

A word, please?

Hey, what's going on?

What the hell's going on? Who's this goon? Can we talk about this later?

No, we're not going to talk about it while you're running off in your club

with some strange guy. We're going to talk about it right now. What's going

on? Am I going to be missing next?

Oh, come on. Are you serious?

Liam, I have to go.

Well, well, well.

Looks like a very successful evening.

Thanks for coming down, buddy. Yeah.

I, uh... Liam, I think it's time. We really need to talk.

No, no, no. We can talk tomorrow, okay? There's other things going on. But I

really think it's important.

Yeah, we have some business to talk about, too, and you guys can talk about

yours later. I just want to say thank you. It's been an extremely successful

night for myself.

Yeah, we're going to have a long relationship.

Well,

for myself, yeah.

What do you mean for yourself? This is a deal, baby.

Lock, stock, and barrel. It's closed.

Solid. Yes and no.

What do you mean yes and no?

Well... I've recently come into some documents, some papers, figures,

numbers, pretty much every transaction you've ever held. And it's really sent

my whole business into a new direction.

And I really hope you understand, Liam.

It's just business.

What the hell is this?

I just want you to understand. Well, you know what? This will help you. I think

I've just won the bet.

I'll collect later.

Gentlemen. Hey, what the hell is that all about?

I was going to wait until tomorrow morning to tell you he has 51%, which

means he controls the club.

I've been trying to tell you this all week.

He got into our files somehow. I don't know, but he did it.

Ah, Christ.

Look, if you knew, if I find out you had anything to do with this, you know,

excuse me.

Chloe? Chloe, hey, sweet thing, pick up the phone, would you please?

I know you're there, just pick up the phone, please.

I really need to talk to you.

All right, just get a hold of me, okay?

You know what? Maybe it'll be at the club. What about the girlfriend's place?

Let's check it out. It's on the way anyway.

Okay, fine. Let's go.

Yes.

It is unfortunate, Mr. Goldberg.

Mr. McKnight was not able to pull the numbers needed.

Therefore... i will be handling the remainder of the papers as well as any

final details and the money

Everything seems to be in order.

You're a shrewd businessman, Mr. Bradley.

Much easier, as we say, to do business with.

Well,

hello ladies.

How are you doing?

I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I bet you'd like that out of your mouth.

Listen, Hanbon, us girls have been awfully lonesome in here.

And to be quite honest with you, mighty horny.

I'm sorry, what was that?

Well, we'd like to have sex, please.

Ooh, and how do I know I can trust you three won't try and escape?

All right.

Okay.

But wait right here. I'll be right back. And don't try any funny business.

Remember?

Good.

I think he took the bait.

You know, I always did find you attractive, Alex.

Especially in all those heated discussions thrown about down in legal.

I'll take that as a compliment coming from the great Catherine you've got

tomorrow.

Hey, what about me?

You okay with this?

Sorry, babe.

Show's over.

I gotta go.

Nice try, ladies.

Get dressed.

I'm gonna have to lock you in here temporarily. I have some business to

take care of.

Uh, no, he won't be in today. Thank you.

Any messages?

No. Great. Get David on the phone for me. Liam, wait. Get David on the phone

for me, please.

What's going on here?

Mr. McKnight, we're confiscating your files until the hearing.

You've been served.

Excuse me.

Now there is something I thought I'd never see.

I'm finished.

The financing, everything.

Gone.

Goldberg wins.

Not so, my dear boy.

There's something I want to show you I think you'll find very interesting.

What's this?

Over 10 million in assets?

All of their net worth.

I started with Elaine here.

Then Alex was soon to follow, and of course, then the fiery Catherine Morrow.

What have you done?

And why?

Because you had it all.

I've always been the underdog. It was time I had a piece of the crown and

glory.

But I did it for the club. I ransomed them all. Then I come in at the last

minute, and I'm the hero.

Did you actually think I'd be a part of this?

Of all the dumb things you've done, this is the dumbest.

I did it for the club.

Remember we were talking about drinking tequila like two fat hoes on the beach?

Well, it looks like there's only going to be one of us taking that trip now,

buddy. The only trip you're going to be taking is directly to the penitentiary.

Hands behind your head, Mr. Bradley. No. Not when I was this close.

You son of a bitch. How could you do this?

You were too easy, baby.

I'll do anything.

Just let me know. I will help in any way to get that club turned back over to

you. Thanks, Catherine, but the club ain't that big of a deal anymore.

I've learned there's more to life than clubs and money.

Liam, I'm gonna need you to come down to the station a little bit later for

questioning, all right?

Sure.

So what's gonna happen to him?

Well, he can get anything up to ten, you know, depending on good behavior.

So, uh, I'll let you know. Never thought he'd be capable of something like this.

Yeah, you never know.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Fine.

What just happened?

It's a long story.

Liam, listen to me.

Goldberg's deal didn't go through. It wasn't solid enough for the bank, so...

And he's been bluffing this whole time.

What? So what this means is you're back in business. You're in control, man.

Congratulations, man. That's awesome. Best news I've heard all day. I'm so

happy.

Let's get out of here, lover.

Alright.

Well, so much for high school buddies and partners.

David will do some time. I've got my opening next week without Goldberg's

money or involvement.

And best of all, I've still got the woman of my dreams.
