Original subtitles

Let's give the lord an ovation.

Sweetheart, do you have a headache?

Take a couple aspirin.

Do you want me to send Sammy over to pick you up?

Now, you be ready.

All right.

Thank you.

Sam, pick them both up on 4th street.

Do I have to babysit for you?

Huh?

You know, there are not enough of these in the entire world

to get me out there on that disk.

With the right partner, you'd be out there in a second.

- Oh. - Get Nick for me, Sammy.

You make a point.

For example, if I went out there with you,

nobody would even notice me, so that would be all right.

Buy you a refill?

Why don't I ask my date?

Ah, date.

Yeah, why don't you ask your date?

I'll buy him one, too.

Big day for me.

Chris.

Chris.

Sonny Kurtz.

How you doing, Sonny?

Nice to meet you.

What's your drink?

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you, uh, get Lisa here a drink?

Keep her company.

All right.

Jack sorkin.

I remember you were running bootleg auto parts in Detroit.

You still got that trucking outfit?

It's a money loser, but, you know,

I've never been able to bring myself to close it down.

It's... it's my roots, you know?

My starting business.

But believe me, it's nothing now.

So now it's bootleg video tapes.

The latest titles for a few nickels worth of plastic.

Yeah, but those nickels add up.

Especially when they're squandered

on useless competition.

Here we go again.

Jack here wants to be the only pirate in palm beach.

No offense to you, Mr. Dibarto, but I've

heard Jack's pitch before.

All I'm saying is we have a golden goose here.

I don't want to see it killed by ignorance.

The way I hear it,

you're being killed by the New York boys.

They're undercutting your prices with the big video chains.

We could stay in the game if we pool our resources,

modernize.

Move into computer software, video games.

Get real, sorkin.

We're talking a lot of dough here.

We dish out that kind of money, it'd be

years before we make it back.

Yeah.

You make more money per day with your trucks.

You got someplace more important to go to, sid, then

go.

You too, George.

Could be a real moneymaker here.

I guarantee it.

Give me a break.

For who?

All Jack here wants is us working for him.

Yeah.

And ain't no way that's happening.

Like I said, could be a real moneymaker here.

For the guy who gets to ship this

stuff all over the country.

I appreciate your considering me for this opportunity,

but I regretfully decline.

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's Dutch's bedtime.

Interesting.

Interesting.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's go. All right.

Thanks, sport.

Hey, the name's Chris.

Where's the party at, man?

This one's private, all right?

See ya.

Let's give the lord an ovation.

Damn.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

It's as true in palm beach as it is anywhere.

Some things in life just don't mix.

Some people say booze and bubbles don't

go well, although others swear they

should always go hand-in-hand.

I guess it depends on who's pouring the booze

and who's blowing the bubbles.

Ready for bobbing for apples?

Ladies before gentlemen.

No, no, no, no.

Age before beauty.

Oh.

Oh.

Wait up.

Hello.

Good morning.

We, uh, drag you out of bed again?

What, do I have bags under my eyes or what?

No, but you certainly look like you shaved in an awful hurry.

You know, you wouldn't happen to be, say, a detective, now,

would you, detective? - Just hold still.

Got it.

Well, never can be too safe these days, you know?

Oh, now that...

That is low.

Hello, doctor.

What's up, doc?

I guess he liked the feel of wet tile on bare skin.

Or maybe bare skin on bare skin.

Well, no signs of any company.

No, he just mixed some champagne with some allergy pills,

got a little too relaxed, slid in, and drowned.

And so why did you call us?

Because the recently departed was on our party list.

This is the cat I was trying to cozy up to last night.

Oh, your loan out gig in bunco.

Yes.

We were both at the disk club.

That's Jack sorkin's place.

The one with all the cameras.

See, sorkin and Kurtz are both videotaped counterfeiters.

Now, bunco got a big tip that there was a meeting last night

and that the business was headed for a shakeup.

Well, I would say it's already starting to happen,

wouldn't you?

Sergeants, from what I see here, I

have to call this an accident.

Any blow to the head?

Nothing like that.

Bruises?

Nope.

Scratches?

Not even a mosquito bite.

Check under the nails.

They've been in chlorine for six hours.

Hm.

What is it?

Well, I'll need a microscope to tell.

Guess.

Epidemic enigmatic matter.

Skin and blood.

Skin and blood.

Like he tried to scratch somebody.

Somebody was holding his head under the water.

I'm impressed. - Don't be.

I knew he wasn't alone here last night.

Thank you, doctor.

You've been holding out on me again, haven't you?

Haven't you? - No.

I thought about stopping by.

You know, around 3:00 am.

But I figured, there you were all curled

up with your little Teddy bear.

You know, old Edgar.

It's Albert.

Albert.

Now, what else haven't you told me?

Well, your pal Donnie "dogs" met

with Kurtz behind closed doors.

He is not my pal.

Well, try telling him that.

Look, will you stay here and write this up?

I've got to get over to the disk club

and check out Sonny's tub mate.

All right. Hey, guys.

See you next time.

See you.

Jack sorkin.

Sergeant Lorenzo, palm beach police department.

But you heard about Sonny Kurtz.

News travels fast.

It was on the morning news.

Too bad, though.

Hell of a nice guy.

Yeah.

He left here last night with a girl.

I believe her name was Lisa.

About 5' 8", brunette.

Oh, lovely Lisa.

Yeah.

Well, she may have left with him,

but she sure came back in a hurry.

You see, she was here all night.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What are you talking about?

Your fire limit's what...

I bet it's 250.

You had 500 people in here last night.

Pretty convenient to remember the comings

and goings of one person.

Convenience had nothing to do with it, sergeant.

Every once in a while, one of our patrons

gets a little carried away on a disk.

It makes them, uh, memorable.

Lisa.

There were 500 people here last night, like you said.

499 of them had their eyes on that girl right there.

She did this on and off for about two hours.

Well, me put the time of death the same time as your friend's

jiggle show at the disk.

Ok.

So maybe this Kurtz and some other babe

are howling at the moon, right?

He digs his fingernails into her back,

and then depleted of all his manly strength?

He nods off in the tub.

According to this, there was something other than champagne

in the bloodstream.

The allergy pills.

It's a similar compound

to those allergy pills, but it's still an inconclusive match.

Yeah.

I think we're dealing with a very smart killer.

The last time franny and I were in a jacuzzi

together, I broke out in hives the size of grapefruits.

Oh.

So which of these video gonnifs stood

to benefit from offing Kurtz?

Well, we're not sure.

We're... I'm trying to set up a meeting with Donnie "dogs"

dibarto right now to see if he can tell us.

And i'm going to go talk to Lisa.

Even if she didn't make it back to Kurtz' house,

maybe she knows who did.

Please.

Can't tell me you didn't get her address and phone number when

you were working undercover.

Some of us don't have

to hustle dates on the job.

Excuse me.

The bartender was very cooperative.

Ok?

He had to call a cab for a one night.

They're going through the logs as we speak.

Pardon me.

Are you two finished?

What? What?

You're waiting for the bell to ring?

Go. Go.

Uh, thank you, sir.

Coming.

Just a sec.

Hi.

Hi.

I just wanted to come by and say I'm sorry about your friend,

Sonny Kurtz.

Do I know you?

- The disk club last night. - Oh.

Oh, right.

Right.

I'm glad I'm so memorable.

Actually, it's sergeant Lorenzo, palm beach pd.

Mind if I come in for a minute?

Yeah. Sure.

Thanks.

I'm a little underdressed for an inquisition.

I've seen you in a lot less.

Oh, my... my dance last night?

- Your dance last night. - Oh, my.

Oh, my.

I'm so embarrassed.

Sonny turned out to be a real jerk.

You know, not that I'm happy that he's dead or anything.

It's just that, you know, he started pawing at me

before I could even get into the car, and I'm not...

I'm not that kind of girl, you know?

No.

No, I didn't think that you were that kind of girl.

I'm going to change.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I, um... I went back to the club and had a few drinks.

One too many, I guess.

Unless you're auditioning for a new line of work,

yeah, I'd say you had one too many.

No one has to pay me.

If I want someone to see me naked, they do.

Ok.

- You want a drink? - No, thanks.

I'm on duty.

I'm on duty.

But I will settle for a couple answers.

Did you see anybody leave with Sony last night?

As soon as I dumped that jerk, believe me,

I wasn't looking back.

Sounds like you didn't know him very long.

I've only... I've only been here two weeks.

I was, um, just testing the waters.

You know, thought it was time to get out of the rust belt.

- What did you decide? - About Sonny?

No, about the waters.

They were a little chilly, but they're

starting to warm up a bit.

Do you know who Sonny met with last night?

No, he was...

He was always doing business on his cellular phone.

You know, but if I remember something,

I could call you or something.

Yeah.

I'd appreciate that.

Would it make up for me not remembering who you were?

No.

Just consider it a community service.

Apparently you do your job too well.

I thought after Sonny's little accident

that the other two would come around,

but the pathetic little wimps want to believe

it really was an accident.

Well, I handled it in a way that

will never get back to you.

Or maybe you knew it would be more work for you.

What can I tell you?

I'm big on the work ethic.

Well, then pretend you're on vacation.

Look, I'm going to give sid rivers

and George d'amato one more chance

to sell me their businesses.

And if they don't?

As we discussed, 300 per.

Jack.

Jack.

You are not thinking like a businessman.

Ok?

I do one more, everything seems to work out,

then a month later your last little friend

might change his mind, right?

So?

I fly you back in.

Yeah, which will put me on the line

and which will cost you big.

I'll make you an offer right now, ok?

Half a million.

Package deal.

I do one or I do both.

Same price.

Now, what kind of deal is that?

The kind with lots of fringe benefits.

In fact, I have an alibi for the next job

that you would not believe.

Donnie, thanks for coming.

Rita Lance, what a pleasant surprise.

Uh, we being bugged?

If we are, i'm going to fire that

big over there.

Didn't I invite you to lunch?

Rita, do you really think a man in my position

accepts luncheon invitations from our city's finest?

Right.

Of course.

So I just happened to be here, and here you are.

Saw that schmo partner of yours last night

the second I walked into that cockamamie disk club.

I figured you wanted to speak to me,

so I allowed this to happen.

So you already have an idea of what

I want to talk to you about.

Stop.

Smell the antipasto.

I got prosciutto here.

Hand cut.

Carbonara.

In oil.

But did they did kill the porpoise to get it?

I don't know.

Thank you.

He loves porpoises.

Listen, Don...

Sit.

Eat.

I'm going to explain a few things to you

so you know what you're eating.

Ok.

Now, you take this prosciutto.

Perfectly smoked, hand cut.

A valuable commodity, correct?

Sure.

One slice of prosciutto for the lady.

Now, suppose there's some other guy over here,

also makes prosciutto.

What happens now?

I gain 10 pounds.

I get sick of prosciutto.

No.

The price of prosciutto goes down.

See what I'm saying?

Is this the kind of prosciutto that comes in a box

and plays movies?

Prosciutto.

They're making it all over the country.

It's tough to compete.

But one thing never changes...

The pigs are very unhappy.

Funny.

You still have to get the prosciutto from the butcher,

to the smokehouse, to the market.

How do you do that?

By truck.

Another slice of prosciutto for the lovely lady.

So the competition

drives the price of the bootleg movies down,

but the guy who owns the trucks, he continues to profit.

Who said anything about movies?

The more prosciutto that the guy has to deliver,

the more bacon he gets to bring home.

Dutchy, I think the young lady understands

the fine art of antipasto.

Jack sorkin's got a trucking operation.

That's how he got started in the bootleg

business in the first place.

Never mention that dirt bag's name.

Remember that, please.

But I'll tell you this.

Sonny Kurtz was a real sweet kid.

Now, let's get to the main course.

So you know what else he told me?

Whenever wise guys hire outside shooters,

they must always go back to their hometown.

You know something?

Huh?

If I didn't know better, and I don't, i'd

say you like Donnie "dogs."

He's colorful.

Colorful.

And roughly the same size as, oh, Edgar the bear.

It's Albert.

Now, Chris, listen, the thing is,

sorkin is from Detroit, right?

So I called a friend at Detroit pd

and I asked her to send us a list of hitters.

See if it matches anything we come up with here.

All right. Well, just promise me one thing.

When you and Donnie go on donahue...

Mhm.

Don't use my name.

Check it out

oh, my goodness.

It looks like some merchandise is changing hands.

Yes, it does.

What do you say we go punch their eject button a couple

times and see what comes out?

Yeah.

Oh, this is way too well-made.

It's why we get a little bit more per unit than you do.

You two guys wouldn't be colluding on price, now,

would you?

George and I have formed a temporary alliance.

Oh, good.

So now I only have to deal with one of you.

Look, sorkin, we've heard your spiel.

You said you had some information about Sonny Kurtz.

That's why we're here. - Oh, right.

Right.

I just thought that maybe you guys

would be interested in the fact that that type of accident

he had could be contagious.

You buzzed Sonny, didn't you?

Like I said, an accident.

In the light of which I'm offering

to buyout your businesses, your inventory, and all

of your distribution contracts.

I didn't think you had the guts to do it.

But I'm not surprised.

Name your price.

Sonny was wet behind the ears.

He hung around with those Hollywood types.

Your threats aren't going to work with me.

Like I told Sonny, I say my piece,

and then I do what I have to do.

You listen to me, you two-bit truck driver.

You try pulling with me what you did with Sonny,

and you'll have a full scale war.

Thanks for the tapes, sid.

I've never seen this one.

Hello.

Mr. Sorkin, a pleasure to see you again.

I would like you to meet my partner, sergeant Lance.

- Hello. - Pleasure.

"Fatal proposal," huh?

I think I've lived that one before.

So what do you think, detective?

Is it real?

Is it real?

Maybe you'd like to see a receipt?

No, I wouldn't like to see a receipt.

You know, if I were you, I would see as many movies

as I could while I was still a free man.

You know, I don't know what you guys think I did wrong,

but when you figure it out, please, do me a favor,

let me know.

Well, I'm sure you and Lisa will have a great time

watching that tonight.

It's not a date.

Sure.

It's not a date.

You're not still on duty, I hope.

No.

No, I got off duty about an hour and a half ago.

I'm really glad that you came back.

You know, being... Being new in town,

it's hard to meet new people.

No, come on, Lisa.

I bet you meet new people all time.

Not the right people.

So you were telling me about sid rivers and Sonny Kurtz.

Right.

Um, the last time you were here, I wasn't...

I wasn't thinking too clearly.

But then I remembered that a few nights

before, Sonny and I went out, like on our first date,

more or less.

And he got a phone call, and then he got really angry

and he started talking about something like tomatoes.

I mean, that's how he said it, anyway.

Tomatoes.

You say tomatoes, I say tomatoes.

Wait a minute.

Could it have been d'amato?

George d'amato?

Yeah.

I mean, it could be.

Does that help you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Maybe since you're off duty, you know, we don't

have to talk about that stuff.

You could tell me about yourself.

Oh.

Come on.

Yeah.

There's not much to tell, actually.

Local boy takes a walk on the wild side,

then he goes straight.

Well, you had parents, though, right?

Yeah.

More or less.

I moved in with my grandma Rose when I was in high school.

You don't know how lucky you were.

My folks were killed in an accident right

after I was born, and I spent my whole life in foster homes.

You didn't have any other relatives?

Uh-uh.

I tried really hard not to need more than they could give.

I mean, I understood the score.

I was an outsider.

You know, and I could deal with it on... on one level, kind of,

but, I mean, I was just a kid.

And it was always something.

A new family, or new foster parents, or a new school.

After a while, i...

I just thought that it was my fault, you know?

You were a teenager?

Well, that's when it got really bad.

Man.

Emotions get out of control at that age.

It can be tough.

I'm not talking about...

About pimples, or boys, or sex.

I'm talking about dreading every day of my life, ok?

Ok.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I... I didn't mean to, um, go off on you.

It's... it's just that it's right here all the time,

you know what I mean?

I'm sorry.

It's ok.

It's ok.

You know, you seem pretty together to me.

I finally found a friend who made me look at my life

and look at me, and who convinced me that I mattered.

I guess I need that reinforcement.

Maybe that's why I get too close to people too fast sometimes.

Maybe that should tell us to slow this thing down.

Or to go as fast as we can.

You're not just a little bit scared?

No.

Not with you, Chris.

I feel safe with you.

I felt this way all the way from the beginning.

Did you?

Lisa...

Shh.

They say a tin shield and romance

don't mix well either.

But funny thing about romance, sometimes it sneaks up on you.

Like that first cold chill on an ocean fog.

And sometimes romance is just another name

for two people thrown together in the heat of the moment.

Hi.

Yeah, it's me.

Everything's set.

Yeah.

He's here.

Ok.

Yeah. Lorenzo.

Yeah.

Listen, we get two more guests of honor...

George d'amato and his bodyguard.

The two detectives responding to the call said it was robbery,

but, uh, I think we better crash the party.

Yeah.

Oh, um, I, uh, I tried you at the house.

Well, I got up early this morning.

Thought I'd get a little exercise.

Exercise?

Really?

That doesn't sound like you at all.

Yeah. Well, you know, I'm flexible.

Mhm.

And what about Lisa?

Is she flexible too?

See you a bit, ok?

How close is our surveillance on sorkin?

If he sneezes, we can wipe his nose.

He was nowhere near George d'amato,

and the same thing goes for sorkin's man.

You know, Donnie "dogs" led me to believe that sorkin

would have hired outside help.

Maybe someone will turn up in this stuff from Detroit pd.

Yeah.

We got any officers canvasing the bar?

Yeah.

A couple of uniforms.

And since I trust them the way I do, I think one of you

should get down there and do it again, huh?

Captain, can I, uh, borrow my partner for a second?

Yeah, if you stop grinning like that.

Hey, listen, you hear this good, nobody around here enjoys life

until I find out why guys are getting

waxed right under my nose. You got that?

Sure.

What do you got?

Does this look like anyone we know?

You know, if that's hair under that cap,

I would say she looks a hell of a lot

like that topless dancer confidant

informant mystery girl.

Yeah, well she's a better dancer than she is performer.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

She was caught by a surveillance camera leaving the scene

of an alleged mob hit.

Same description came back from a similar hit in Chicago.

No names, no leads.

You dog.

You slept with her, didn't you? You did.

I can see it in your eyes.

Uh, let's just say I spent the whole night with her.

But you didn't sleep.

Of course you slept.

You needed your rest.

Before you jump to any conclusions,

why don't you see if you can pull

some prints up off of this.

Christopher, you never cease to amaze me.

Even in a tender moment, your cop instincts were unflagging.

Amongst other things, I'm sure.

Well, thank you very much for the vote of confidence.

Hey, butch and Sundance.

Bunco's moving in on sid rivers.

You want in?

Uh, which one of us is butch?

You are.

Ha.

Thanks, captain.

Go, go, go, go.

You're going to a very lonely place, sid.

What are you guys, comedians?

I get my mouthpiece on the phone,

I'll be back behind my desk in two hours.

Guess where they were headed?

It's a warehouse for sorkin's club.

Oh, looks like sorkin finally got to you, didn't he?

Read me my rights and give me my two dimes.

You're a tough guy, aren't you, sid?

But not so tough when you heard about George d'amato getting

popped.

Why do I get the feeling that it was sid's turn next?

If we can keep sid under wraps,

we've got a way to flush sorkin out.

And we can nail this hitter in the act.

You know, and I think I know just the way to do it.

Cool.

Cannoli, fresh from toscano's bakery.

Oh, I'm impressed.

You come all the way out here just to bring me cannoli.

Well, why else?

Do you think I'd be caught consorting

with a known underworld figure?

It's ok, dutchy.

The sergeant's just having a little fun.

You know, I think this cop thing is standing in your way.

Really?

How else would you explain an exceptional woman like yourself

and no man in her life?

Uh, no, thanks.

Actually, you know, i'm glad you brought that up.

I need your advice on something.

My social life.

Well, that's why I'm here.

Well, good.

Let's just say, hypothetically, that I'm dating

two guys in the same business.

I could see how that would happen.

Unfortunately, it turns out they're both stinkers.

So I start to think to myself, wouldn't it be great to set

them against each other?

Make one think the other one shot him down.

Start two businessmen fighting amongst themselves.

Exactly.

My beautiful Rose turns out to be a Venus flytrap.

I love this.

Exactly what business are we talking here?

The prosciutto business.

See, unfortunately, these two beaus of mine, they're

the only two prosciutto makers left in town.

I heard they were slicing it pretty thin.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, the guy with the trucks

is expecting a shipment from the other guy,

only it's never going to arrive.

So I thought it would be interesting

if word got out on the street that he barreled

this pork somewhere else.

Why would I want to be involved with this?

Well, like you said, Sonny Kurtz, he was a sweet kid.

Hey.

You were just about to write me a check.

Change of plans.

Sid rivers' shipment never made it.

Word is he's selling out to some New York boys.

Aren't you glad you made that, uh...

That deal with me?

Well, I'll sign one of these for you when you're all done.

Oh, too bad my juices always flow

whenever I see your signature.

Look, it's got to be done soon, ok?

I need some peace of mind on this.

Ok.

You come to my place this afternoon,

and I'll take care of everything.

Yeah. Lorenzo.

Hi, Chris.

It's me, Lisa.

Lisa, where are you?

I'm at my apartment, and something really bad

is going to happen, Chris.

Ok.

Tell me what's going to happen.

I can't.

I... I need you to come here, ok?

I need your help, Chris.

Please.

Ok.

Uh, you just sit tight.

Ok.

Very convincing, little sister.

You were born three minutes before me

and you get to call all the shots.

What would I do without you?

Don't think like that.

No one's ever going to separate us again.

I want to go home.

Just a few more hours, Lana.

I promise.

Lisa, I don't know if I can do this.

You have to.

Ok?

Or everything falls apart.

Don't think about it.

Just do it.

See me doing it.

It's not even like it's you.

It's me.

Ok?

Come here.

What is this?

I'm going to sweat to death in this thing.

Yeah.

Well, there are worse fates, sid, especially in your case.

I can't believe i'm going along with this.

You know what?

You really don't have a choice, sid.

I mean, you could run from sorkin

for the rest of your life, or you

could skip the preliminaries and go straight to prison.

Now, sid, I want you to meet your new body guards,

officers Johnson and Gutierrez.

What, these two guys are going to stop a bullet for me?

Don't worry about it.

You're going to have police protection every step

of the way, all right?

Lee Harvey oswald had police protection, too.

Look where it got him.

Look at the bright side.

You might be mentioned in the next Oliver stone movie.

So you got everything all set up?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We put out a hot tip that sid is moving his inventory

to a new location.

My guess is is that sorkin's going

to try to hit on him then.

Stick with sid.

Meantime, I want you to look at this first.

What is it?

Open it.

Lisa bannon aka Lana bannon aka Laura barclay.

Yeah.

Get Lorenzo on the horn.

If this girl's involved, I want her in here for questioning.

No more playing footsie under the table, all right?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, Lorenzo.

Yeah, Chris, listen, we got the yellow sheets in on Lisa.

So what's the verdict?

Do I want to take her home to meet the family?

Not unless it's a Torino family.

Listen, her rap sheet could paper this entire bullpen.

She's got smash and grabs, armed robbery.

No prostitution, though.

Oh, good we're safe then.

Yeah.

But she hasn't been arrested for the last three years.

You know what, Chris?

Something about this doesn't make sense.

What?

Look, Rita, i'm at her apartment.

What doesn't make sense?

She did two months in at the same

time she was serving a year for felony embezzlement in Dixon.

I don't think that's what they mean when they say

serving concurrent sentences.

Was she printed in both places?

Yeah, of course.

When they've got a felon in hand, all they're doing

is checking them in. - All right.

Maybe they want a name photo, and never

cross checked the prints.

Same ss and same FBI pad number.

You know, maybe the dates are wrong.

Yeah.

The blood type on the raps, is it a match what the me found

underneath Kurtz' fingernails?

E positive and b positive.

All right.

Sergeant, come on.

Let's go.

Uh, Chris, listen.

We're on our way out right now with sid.

You, uh... you stay close, partner, ok?

You be careful.

Ok.

Bye.

Hi.

Come on in.

Hi.

You sounded upset on the phone.

Everything ok?

I just wanted to talk to you about some things.

It's ok.

It's ok.

Come here.

Whatever it is you need, I'm here for you.

You feel so good.

You got scratched since yesterday.

I did?

I don't know how I did that.

Lisa bannon, you're under arrest

for the murder of Sonny Kurtz.

You know, you don't even kiss like your sister.

Where is she?

Let's hold off on the family reminiscing, ok?

So what do you do, you take turns?

Or did she ask to do sid so she could stay and practice?

What's he talking about?

Shut up, Jack.

Oh, you don't know, Jack?

You don't know why she comes up with these airtight alibis,

do you?

You have a lot of explaining to do, Lisa.

Starting with why you bring a cop here.

He saw me leave your club with Sonny.

And when I found out he was a cop,

I decided to keep an eye on him, ok?

Glad you gave that job to your sister.

She's a hell of a lot friendlier than you are.

What's all this sister business?

My twin sister Lana.

Lana was afraid she wouldn't be able to finish you off

if you started figuring things out.

So I sent her off to do sid.

It's a crock.

You're the hitter in the family.

Your sister never killed anybody.

There's a first time for everything.

How you guys doing, huh?

Ok.

Now, as soon as you see her, make a turn

and you follow her very closely.

My nose is killing me, man.

That's her. Stay where you are.

I don't think she sees us.

I can't do this, Lisa.

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

What the hell happened?

I have no idea.

Captain, get in touch with Chris.

If he's still at her apartment, he can head her off.

All right.

What the hell is going on here?

You told me your partner was going to take care of sid.

Yeah, and that's exactly right.

And as soon as we get the word that it's done,

you're going to help me kill this cop.

You got me involved with killing a cop?

It's not as clean as I'm used to,

but we'll be long gone by the time they find our friend

here at the bottom of a swamp.

Give me the cuffs.

Give me the cuffs.

Put them on him. From behind.

That's right.

You know about cuffs, don't you?

She's been cuffed 100 times.

See, Jack, she doesn't always get away with this stuff.

That was before I found Lana.

Put them on.

Now you think you've got the perfect alibi.

As far as your computers are concerned,

there is no Lana bannon.

Two people, one ID.

It's perfect.

I bet Lana loves that.

You have no idea what it's like to be so close to someone.

We are the same person.

Oh!

You tell them where you're at.

Drop the gun.

Unless you want your sister to end up alone again,

you drop the gun.

Ok.

You think you know, huh?

I know what your sister told me about your parents dying.

She probably left out some details,

but I think it was pretty much the truth.

It was.

I'm sorry, Chris, but you're going

to have to let my sister go.

He's not going to do it, Lana.

Shoot him now, ok?

I couldn't kill sid. I'm sorry, Lisa.

I couldn't do it. - It's ok.

That doesn't matter, ok?

This matters.

Now, listen to me.

Lana, we'll get you some help.

My guess is you haven't killed anybody yet.

You don't understand, Chris, Lisa and I each

thought that we were all alone, and then

we both went looking for our birth parents at the same time.

Isn't that amazing?

And then we found each other.

Lana, they are going to separate us again.

Now shoot him!

You all right, Chris?

Everything's fine.

Lana here was just about to put her gun down.

Lana, think about before we found each other, ok?

We're never going to be together again.

For the rest of your life, Lana, we're never

going to be together again.

It's ok.

We'll always be together.

Oh.

Lana!

Come on.

Please don't die.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Wake up.

Please.

Please!

Oh, no!

Chris?

You think my being a cop is preventing me from having

a normal relationship?

What are you talking about?

We have a normal relationship.

Yeah.

I mean... I mean, you know, something

a little less platonic.

Oh.

Rita, I had no idea.

Not with you, you hound.

No, you... you are totally non-discriminating.

It's not true.

Sorry.

I didn't mean that.

No, it's all right.

It's all right.

You know, I wonder what it was like for Lana and Lisa.

Growing up separately and then suddenly finding each other.

It's got to be tough.

But why did Lisa have to use her sister like that?

You know?

I don't know.

I guess maybe... maybe that happens sooner

or later in all relationships.

Not in ours.

No.

Not in ours.

No.
