All language subtitles for No Place to Hide (1992)

WOMAN:
Oh!

It's me. I need you
to do something. Listen.

In my dresser by my bed,
there's a videotape.

I want you to take it
and hide it.

Just do it!

["SWAN LAKE" PLAYING]

Pamela.

Come to me, Pamela.

Come to me now.

Where are you?

MAN:
I'm here.

What do you want?

Open.

Why did you do it, Pamela?

I loved you
more than the others.

More than all of them.

Who owns you?

You own me.

[GRUNTS]

Ah!

Ah!

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ah!

Uh! Ah!

Ugh.

[SCREAMING]

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
I don't think I know
where to begin this.

There's a lot
I want to remember.

But a whole lot more
I wanna forget.

I thought if I wrote it
and put it away a while,

I'd know the things
that I'd wanna keep

as memories.

September 3rd.

Dear Diary.

I know I haven't written
in you for a while,

but so much has happened.

I guess I should start
with Joe Garvey.

But I can't think

of what I'm supposed to say
about him.

He wasn't like anyone
I ever knew.

His boss once told me

that Garvey was best cop
he ever worked with.

[CHATTERING]

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
He was loyal to his friends
and loyal to the job.

That's what the police call
being a cop.

The job.

What are you doing here?I was ordered here.

By who?The bureau commander.

Caught me at home.

[CHATTERING]

DETECTIVE:
Well, you see the angle
of the razor blade...

[CHATTERING]

I'm sorry, I should have
told you he was here

Forget it. What've you got?

KAREN:
Okay. Let's see.

Female, Caucasian.
Age 24.

Pamela Hanley.

DOA at rehearsal last night.

From severed arteries

in the neck, chest
and pelvic area.

Multiple lacerations
by a knife or razor,

probably knife,
but not confirmed yet.

No witness
to the actual slashing,

but the killer's
probably male.

How do they know?

Well, some stagehand thought
he saw a man backstage.

Look at this.

A tattoo on her ankle.

Could be part
of a phone number.

Or maybe
somebody's birthday.

[DETECTIVES CHATTERING]

You wanna know something
really weird.

DETECTIVE:
Everybody down...

There aren't any defense marks
on her arms.

She didn't try to stop the man
from slashing her.

NELSON:
...blessed with the presence
of Detective Joe Garvey.

Come in here, Garvey.
Let everyone get a look at you.

What we have here
is an officer

who does not know
what the word loyalty means.

Well, I'm gonna show you
how it feels to be an outsider.

You're gonna get
all the shitwork I can find.

Let me have those keys.

Start by checking out
the girl's apartment.

When you're finished,
you'll report back to me.

Personally.

I'm gonna find more shitwork
for you.

Move it!

If you had any guts,
you son of a bitch,

you'd eat your gun
and do the world a favor.

[CHILDREN RHYMING]

Knock on some doors.
See what the neighbors know.

All right.

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
Some cops say over the years,

Joe Garvey had developed
the dumb courage

of the genuinely burnt out.

I don't think I ever
really knew what that meant.

I remember the day
I met him.

He had cold eyes
and a cruel face.

Joe Garvey
was one of those people

who could scare you
with a look.

Cops do that sometimes.

They put that hard look
on their face.

Supposed to make you think
that they've peered

into the darkest secrets
of your soul.

And it makes them act
coldhearted and mean.

But Garvey
couldn't fool me.

I knew that looking mean
was his normal expression.

JOE:
Stay right where you are.

Holy shit.

Put your hands
over your head.

Take a step forward
and turn around.

Look, if you want my money,
I'll just drop my bag and go.

Take one step forward
and turn around.

What's your name?

Tinsel.
Tinsel what?

Tinsel Hanley.What are you doing here?

I live here.

You do, huh?

Which is your bedroom?

Is this gonna be like a rape
or something?

JOE:
Which room?

This one.

Who's Pamela Hanley
to you?

She's my sister.

JOE:
You got any ID?

I got a bus pass.
Show me.

Could you,
like, put the gun down?

Show me.

Okay, put your hands down.
I'm a police officer.

Damn it,
you're a freaking cop

What do you mean coming here

and scaring the hell out of me
like that for?

Sorry.
I didn't know you were.

just because you're a cop,

doesn't give you the right
to come in here

and shove in guns
in people's faces.

I could've had
a heart attack.

I said I was sorry.

Yeah, well, what's that
supposed to do for me?

You know some guy
robbed me in the park

of $11 the other day.

I didn't see you there
sticking your gun in his face.

If I see him, I'll kill him.

Who else lives here?

I don't have to answer
any of your questions.

You're in my apartment.

You're supposed to be telling
me what you're doing here.

Something happened
to your sister.

Yeah.

I know about Pammy.

Somebody sliced her up
and killed her last night.

It was on the news all day.
It's a real bummer.

A what?

A bummer.
You know, bad news.

Bad news?

What would you like me to do?
Get all amped up over it?

She's dead, isn't she?

There's nothing I can do
to bring her back to life.

Besides,
I'm enlightened anyway.

There's no law that says
I have to cry on the outside

so people can see me.

I cry on the inside,
where it's more personal.

I don't care where you cry.

But calling
your sister's murder a bummer

stretches it even for me.

Don't tell me
how to feel about my sister.

She's dead and there's nothing
I can do to change it.

I'm getting out of here.Stay where you are.

You can't tell me what to do.Sit down.

Let go of me!

I said sit down!

Oh, was that what you cops like
to do? Order people around?

That's right.

Yeah, well, include me out.

I'm not taking any orders
from you.

Fine.
Who pays the rent here?

Pamela does.

Who bought the furs

and paid
for all this furniture?

Pamela did.

Not on a dancer's salary
she didn't.

Where'd she get the money?

Well, I don't know.
Ask her.

You're just a little smart-ass,
aren't you?

How old are you, smart-ass?

That's none
of your business.

This is a murder investigation,
everything is my business.

How old are you?

I'm 22.

You're carrying a school bus
pass, you're not 22.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

I'm 19.

Get your stuff,
you're going to the station.

Wait a minute,
wait a minute!

Don't get so violent.

I'm 14.

[CHUCKLES]
You're 14?

Where the hell
are your parents?

They're dead.

Pammy's been taking care of me
since I was 9.

Fourteen.

You look
like a 30-year old hooker.

Yeah, well, you're not exactly
a day at the beach yourself.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll get a social worker
to come and pick you up.

You'll have to stay
in a foster home.

Don't bitch at me,
got nothing to do with it.

Here's my work
and home number.

If you think of something
I should know, call me.

Let me tell you something,
kid.

I've been a cop
for 19 years,

and I'm still waiting to meet
my first normal person.

Guess what, smart-ass.

You ain't it.

KAREN:
I checked with the neighbors.
Nobody knows much about her.

What'd you find?

She's got
some expensive looking furs.

When the content breakdown
comes in,

see if you can find out
who paid for them.

Know what this is?

No,
I've never seen it before.

Call the Department
of Children's Services

and have them pick up
a juvenile.

Hanley had a sister.

A 14-year-old fruitcake
named Tinsel.

She's enlightened.

She's gonna cry on the inside,
where it's more personal.

TINSEL [NARRATING]
You think there's something
wrong with me.

I didn't cry for Pamela.

I wanted to, but I couldn't.

I never told this to anyone,
but I don't know how to cry.

I don't know
where to go inside

and find the tears.

So instead I just fake out

that things
don't really matter to me.

Does that make me bad?

Now, this is the kind of public
relations the city doesn't need

and the department
doesn't need.

A killing
backstage in a theater.

This is gonna be news
all over the country.

Now, Captain Eras will continue
to be your immediate superior.

Dr. Rosen
from the coroner's office

will be temporarily assigned
to this case.

Now, listen to me.

Every half-assed politician
in this city

is gonna try
to make a reputation

by walking on our bones
unless we wrap this up quickly.

So let's not make it easy
on them.

Detective Garvey, I'd like to
see you in the captains office.

I'll log us in.

Close the door, Joseph.

I'd like to cut to the chase,
Frank.

Ask him where he stands
on the Freedom Army thing.

You son of a bitch!

One of our best men
was gunned down in cold blood.

You don't know where you stand,
you're not fit

to carry a badge.

I want him
out of my division.

We'll talk about it.

If you don't mind, let me use
your office. Come on.

FRANK:
I'm gonna have your ass,
Garvey

He's a good by-the-book cop.

But he'll die a captain.

You, you're either a fool
or a fuckup.

I don't know which.

I'm guess
I'm a little of both, Frank.

I told the truth.

The truth?

The truth is one of our men
was gunned down,

and I've got a problem that's
ripping the department apart

because two other officers say
they were fired at first

and you say you're not sure
that's what happened.

They're cowboys, Frank.

They went in there
looking to whack someone.

You don't know that.

You were on backup,
you didn't see what happened.

I know them.

All right. Let's say
that's where you stand.

These are your brothers
in arms.

There are men on the force
who'd like to see you hurt

if you take this position.

Some might hurt you themselves
if they get the chance.

I don't care about that.

No, but I care about it.

Because I wanna see
where you come out on this.

Whether it's on the side
of duty or the side of justice.

I thought our duty
was justice, Frank.

And so it should be.

And maybe in a better world
it will be.

But let's deal with what's
right in front of us.

Don't you blow this away,
Joseph.

Damn it.

You were one of the rising
stars of this department.

You could have been
anything you wanted.

My generation's getting ready
to move on--

Who the hell's gonna run
the department?

I'm keeping you
on the Hanley case.

Let IA deal
with the other thing.

This is more important.

I want you to check
the coroners report,

and make sure
we haven't missed anything.

And, Joseph,

let me tell you something.

Most cops
would kiss my left cheek

and massage my right

just to get half the regard

the department and I have
for you.

Now, get the hell
out of here.

You're off the case, right?

Sorry, captain.

It's not your day.

[MAN LAUGHING]

[MAN LAUGHING]

Stop! Wait, wait, stop!

[TIRE SCREECHING]

[MRS. GARVEY SCREAMING]

Joe, wait.
No, no.

[CHATTERING]

[POLICE SCANNER CHATTERING]

[POLICE SCANNER CHATTERING]

[SCREAMING]

JOE:
Damn you!

Stop it! Let go of me!
I'll kill him!

Ah!

You son of a bitch!
I'm gonna kill you!

I'll kill you!

OFFICER:
Get him!

Damn you!

Damn you!

Ah!

Goddamn, let go of me!

[SCREAMING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

Guy broke into my apartment
with a knife. Almost got me.

Who is this? It's me, Tinsel Hanley.

A man broke into my apartment
and said he was gonna kill me

just like Pamela.

Slow down a minute.
Where are you?

I'm at the La Reina theater
on Ventura Boulevard.

Didn't anyone from Children's
Services come and get you?

Yeah, they came,
but I hid from them.

I'm not gonna go off
to some place with strangers.

Okay. Listen to me.

Find a police officer
and tell him what happened.

I'm not gonna go walking around
here looking for a cop.

That guy man could have
followed me

and put me in a car
and do what he did to Pamela.

What are you looking at,
geek face?

You know you told me to call
you if anything happened.

Are you a man of your word
or not?

You're not are you?

Okay.
Do exactly what I tell you.

What do you see?

I see a rest area on the top
of the shopping mall.

Don't talk to anyone.

Go up there and wait for me.

Right now.
Just drop the phone.

I'm a little scared,
you know

I know. Just drop it.

Okay, I'm doing it.

[BUSY TONE]

[PHONE RINGS]

Karen, someone tried to kill
the Hanley kid.

What happened?

I don't know..

I'm picking her up
at the Loreda on Ventura Blvd.

Back me up. Twenty minutes.

Come on.

You know, you sure
took your time getting here.

Do you know how many people
I saw looking at me?

Move.
Where am I going?

Juvenile Hall doesn't open
till tomorrow.

Unless you wanna spend
the night at the station,

you'll stay with me.

With you?
What are you kidding me?

I'd rather have
root canal work.

I got 10 friends I could
stay with better than you.

No friends.

Why not?

Because this guy could know
every friend you've got.

He knew you were home alone,
didn't he?

Now, move.

So I have to
just because you say so.

Look, either come with me
or don't. I don't care.

If you want this guy
to find you, let him find you

You don't have to yell
at me!

I'm standing
right in front of you.

Now, listen to me,
goddamn it.

Get in.

What are you writing?Do you care?

Not really.
I didn't think so.

I'm writing about a boy
I invented.

His name is Bobby Blue.

What's he do?

Does anything I want him
to do.

I write about that we go
to the museum,

we talk about things.

There's a car behind us.

I know,
it's a police officer.

She's seeing
no one follows us.

Well, how did she know
we were here?

I mean,
did you call her and tell her?

That's excellent.

TINSEL [ NARRATING]:
Joe Garvey thinks
he hung the moon.

I hate freaking cops.

And I hate
Joe Garvey the most.

But to tell you the truth,
I was kind of glad

he was there keeping that guy
with the knife

away from me
and everything.

It felt good
having him protecting me.

It was like total drama.

Don't you have
any normal clothes?

These are normal clothes.

For a prostitute,
they're normal.

For a 14-year-old girl,
they're ridiculous.

Get rid of that.

Pull your skirt down,
for Christ's sake.

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
Forget what I said.
I hate him.

First chance I get,
I'm gone

You're gonna have to tell
the police more

about your sister.

TINSEL:
There's nothing to tell.

People don't come after kids
for no reason.

You can sleep in here.

Here, wear these.

I'll stay
in what I'm wearing.

Do what ever you want.

Bathroom's down the hall.

If you get hungry, there's food
in the refrigerator.

I'll be in the bedroom.

Don't try to run,
that door's got an alarm on it.

Hey, wait.

I don't have a family
anymore.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know.

Well, isn't there someone
I could talk to?

Someone that could help me?

Talk
to the juvenile authorities,

they're trained for that

Why is that man after me?

I don't know that either.

You know. You're a cop,
you must have some idea.

Why does he wanna kill me?

Because you know something.

Either about your sister
or the man who killed her,

I don't know.
But you know something.

And I don't wanna hear
about your other problems.

Find someone who cares
about you and ask them.

I can't help you.

I know her.

TINSEL:
She's Pamela's friend.

KAREN:
You're gonna love this.

Those furs Hanley had?

They were bought
at Paige-Stanley.

Paid for in cash,

and the bill of sale
was signed by a John Doe.

What did prints find
in the apartment?

Nothing on the windows.

We're gonna check
the rest of the apartment

with the kid's prints
and her sister's.

I have a social worker
that will take her to a shelter

until we find a family
for her.

Do you wanna come with me?

We have a place for you
to stay.

Is the kid all right?She's fine.

I'm glad, I was worried.

Do you know what this is?

I never saw it before.

Do you know
what the numbers 8141 mean?

No.

JOE:
It was tattooed
on her ankle.

And it could have been tattooed
on her ass,

I still wouldn't know
what it means.

FRANK:
Joseph.

When are you gonna stop

with these questions?Anymore?

I'm going to my club.
Have lunch with me.

There's things
I'd like to talk to you about.

We'll take my car.

[BOTH SCREAM]

[MUMBLING]

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
I thought God was supposed
to take care of people

if they didn't mess up
and do bad things.

I hadn't done anything
really rotten in my life,

so I didn't know why these men
were trying to kill me.

I don't know what happened.

Maybe God changed his mind.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

FRANK:
Will you bring me
a member's edition please?

Thank you.

You ever been here before?

No.

It's expensive
but it's worth it.

When my wife died,
I was lost.

Everything was unstable.

I didn't realize
how much I had come to rely

on the daily routines
we'd built up over the years.

Then some friends
brought me here.

It's very pleasant.

As a matter of fact,
it's the only place

where I feel
completely comfortable.

Good afternoon, Mr. McCay.

Good afternoon.

Menus.
Thank you.

What do you wanna talk about,
Frank?

You.

Pick another subject.

I like what I heard
the other day.

You're an idealist.

You know
what an idealist is?

An idealist is a dreamer

who tries to keep his dreams
alive

while reality keeps trying
to get in the way.

You're very much like me.

You and I,
we have the same dream.

We dream about justice.

Why all the sudden interest
in me?

No, no. I've always been
interested in you.

I watched you climb
through the ranks

with great pride, Joseph.

Most of the greybeards
at of the ladder,

from the chief on down,
used to speculate

as to who'd be the one
to knock them off your perch.

They all thought
it would be you.

Well, that was then.

Yes, that was then.

In some eyes,
how you reacted

when your wife and children
were killed

was considered
aberrant behavior.

And they dropped you
off the future delivery list.

I know this is still painful
for you.

But hear me out.

My generation,

they're fighting
just to stay in control.

They don't even know
what it feels like

to be a police officer
anymore.

For you, Mr. McCay.

Anyway,

Here's a history
of the club.

I'm not much of a joiner.

Read it anyway.
Take it with you.

Yeah?

[CHATTERING]

I'll be right there.

There was an attempt made
on the Hanley kid's life.

She got away,

but an officer and a woman
from Children's Services

were killed.

You'd better go.

Oh!I know what happened.

I'm gonna take my hand away,
don't make any noise, okay?

They killed two people, and--Be quiet.

There's a car out there.

I called for backup.
Let's get out of here

I don't know
why they're after me.

Be quiet.I don't know anything.

Move. Come on.

Where am I going,
the police station?

No, they followed you
from there.

You go back to my house
till tomorrow night.

I don't wanna stay with you.
I don't like you.

I just wanna go home.

I'll sneak in and
I won't turn on the lights.

No one will even know
I'm there.

Are you crazy?

Get it through your head
you don't live there anymore.

Then where do I live?
Nowhere.

You live nowhere.

Move.

You're always ordering me
around

in one-word sentences.

Throw your house keys
on the table.

What for?

So you can't go back there.

Stop acting
like such a brat.

You didn't even say thank you
for saving your life.

Thank you
for saving my life.

Now what?

Now you eat.

What if I'm not hungry?You eat anyway.

You've been on the run
all day

and you haven't got any money
that I know of.

Sit down.

You think
you know everything

just because you're a cop,
and you don't know shit.

That's nice talk
for a 14-year-old.

Still gonna tell me
your sister wasn't involved

in something
that got her killed?

That's right.

You're 90 cents short
of a dollar, kid.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

Someone just sent three
professionals to kill you,

do you understand that?

I'm supposed to eat

while you're talking
about me dying.

That's real brainy.

Did she have any boyfriends?

Of course
she had boyfriends.

A lot or just one?

One. She had one boyfriend.

Look, I'm not hungry.

Eat.
Pretend I told you not to.

Don't I have any rights?

What's his name?

I don't know his name,

and I don't know
what he looks like either.

When Pammy wanted
to be alone,

I'd go spend the night at
a friends house or something.

How often?

I don't know how often,
a couple of times a month.

So a couple of times a month,
your sister got rid of you

while her boyfriend
slept over.

What's that supposed to mean?
She was a grownup,

she could do
whatever she wanted to.

Yeah, but how come
this boyfriend

who sleeps with her
doesn't even call

after he finds out
she's dead?

What's this?

How the hell do I know
what it is?

Pamela was a dancer
that everybody liked,

nothing more.

She wasn't doing
anything else.

You're a hard case, kid.

I'm trying to remind myself
you're in trouble

so I don't throw you
out of here.

Throw me out.
That's what I want.

What size are you?

I'll go get you
something normal to wear.

[CHUCKLES]
You're gonna go buy me clothes?

Just answer the question,
will you?

Why do you always have to say
something?

What the hell size are you?

Three. I'm a size 3.

What are you so angry about
all the time?

I'm not angry.

Bullshit.

You look like you wanna rip
somebody's head off.

This is all so temporary.

This will all be over
in two minutes.

I'll be out of here.

I'm not listening to you.

Why didn't you cry
for your sister

you loved so much?

I don't know.

My insides belong to me.
Not to you.

You're a piss-ass cop,
you're not a doctor.

You're right.
I'm a piss-ass cop

and it's none
of my business.

Don't try to run
while I'm gone.

Those men could be anywhere.

I'll be back in an hour.

And clean that up.

TINSEL [PRAYING]:
Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John.

The bed be blessed
that I lie on

One to watch
and one to pray,

and two
to bear my soul away.

JOLINE:
Hello?

Joline?

Yes?

Hi, it's Tinsel Hanley.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I just wanted to talk.
It's been kind of lonely.

Where are you?

I'm staying with that cop
you talked to at the precinct.

Oh.

A real rat.

Well, you know
I have plenty of room.

If you want to, you can
come here and stay with me.

No, I can't.

He said I couldn't leave
the house.

You scared me.

Who's on the phone?

It's Joline.
It's Pamela's friend.

You don't talk to anyone.
Where's your brains?

What are you doing
with those pictures?

I was just looking at them.

Put them down.

Here's some clothes.

Who's the girl
in the pictures?

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
I wasn't able to make
any sense out of him.

One minute
he was helping me,

and the next minute
he was being a total creep.

And I was nervous.

I didn't know what role
I was supposed to play.

Get hold of the morgue shots.
I wanna check on something.

And get homicide reports
for the next 24 hours.

Pick me up in the morning.

What you standing there for?

Where was I supposed to go?
I wasn't ready for bed.

Well, go in there anyway.

What are you so angry about?I'm not angry.

Yes, you are. You're
practically yelling at me.

Because you're a pain
in the ass, that's why.

What did I do?

You were going
through my desk.

Damn it, you know,
I said I wouldn't do it again.

When I'm being shitty,
you don't say anything.

When I'm not doing anything,
you're yelling at me.

You don't make any sense
you now that?

You're just a freaking
retarded cop!

[HONKING]

[CHUCKLES]
Hey, buddy.

How's it going?

I really can't complain.

Things are going
pretty good.

I think
somebody's watching us.

This is my friend.
Allie Wheeler.

He's gonna stay with you
while I'm gone.

How do you do?

I'm sure we're gonna have

a real fine time together,
right?

There shouldn't be
any trouble.

Well, if there's some trouble,
I'll just bust a few skulls.

Stay away from the window.

And no more calls.

So when the hell
are you coming back, Garvey?

Why?

Because you're leaving me here
with some guy in a wheelchair

holding a hammer.

I don't even know who he is.

I told you
he's a friend of mine.

You're safer with him
than anyone I know.

I brought her some clothes
I thought might fit her

Why are you helping me?

It's not like I'm your
favorite person or anything.

I don't have
any favorite people left.

Then neither do I.

And there's no alarm
on the door.

So I understand there's another
coal miners strike in Poland.

I'd laugh,
but I'm out of practice.

KAREN:
How come
you're taking care of her?

This is a side of you
I don't know.

Jesus Christ, what are you
getting me involved with?

I'm already interfering
with a murder investigation

by not telling anyone
you've got the kid with you.

What is it with you, Garvey?

You just won't give anything,
will you?

If I slept with you,

just once,

you think that would make you
a little friendlier?

I mean, you know,
just to get it out of the way?

It's not in the way.

Thanks.
I feel a whole lot better now.

You know what you are,
Garvey?

You're ice.

If ever I need
a heart transplant,

I want yours.

Because yours
has never been used.

Can you isolate the wounds?

Now put this on.

What are you getting at?Just do it.

Who else knows about this?

No one.

I gotta tell you something,
Garvey.

I've seen two other bodies
in the last six months

with marks similar to that.

I gotta tell you
something else.

Hanley's body was released
from the morgue last night.

She was cremated.

JOE:
Who signed the release?

Her sister.

Her sister's 14 years old.

I know that.

[MUSIC PLAYING
OVER THE RADIO]

I have to ask you something.

What?

I have to ask you something
about Pamela.

I can't stand her
being all alone.

I mean, she's supposed to have
a service with friends

sending her flowers,

and be buried with a minister
saying his prayers.

I don't know how to do that.

There's something
I gotta tell you.

You're gonna tell me
something bad, aren't you?

No.

[D.B. KNIGHT'S "I'M HANGIN'"
PLAYING]

Move.

Do you know how to dance?

What do you mean?

It's a simple question,
yes or no.

Do you know how to dance
or don't you?

Of course
I know how to dance.

Well, then dance.

You're a kid,
for Christ's sake.

This is the best time
in your life.

Enjoy it while you got it.

What, are you crazy?

You want me to go out there
and dance by myself.

Do you know how embarrassing
that would be?

♪ Yeah, I'm hangin' ♪

♪ Hangin' on to your love ♪

Come here. Dance with her.

What?

I want her to have a good time.
You're gonna show it to her.

He tried to take care of me
in the best way he knew how.

You can tell me what you were
gonna tell me about Pamela.

Even if it's bad.

I still wanna know.

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
He told me
what they did to Pamela.

And I knew why he wanted me
to have a good time.

Oh, my God.

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
It's crazy, I know.

But I think that's the night
I started liking Joe Garvey.

You've gotta tell me
what you know.

She's gone.

You can't protect her
anymore.

You've gotta take care
of yourself now.

TINSEL:
Behind the painting
by the table,

there is a video tape
that Pamela told me to hide.

I know what's on it.

Please, please don't tell
anyone what you see.

Tinsel Hanley.

What are you expecting?
A war?

[CHUCKLES]

ALLIE:
Where's the kid?

She's sleeping.

I won't be long.

Take your time.
We'll be fine.

I thought you were asleep.

I'm not.

Where'd he go?

He didn't tell me.

Hey,
that's me in that picture.

As a matter of fact,
that's how this happened.

What do you mean?

[CHUCKLES]

I had intercepted this pass,
I was-- I made a great catch.

I'm boogying
down the sidelines,

and this guy came
out of nowhere.

Did something
to my spinal column.

Are you,
like, totally paralyzed?

Can't feel anything
from my waist down.

Does it hurt?

[CHUCKLES]
No.

I almost don't feel nothing.

Isn't it weird
your name is Allie Wheeler,

and you're in that thing?

[CHUCKLES]
Bet you 500

people have wanted to ask me
that question.

Yeah.
I guess it's a little weird.

[LAUGHING]
Hey, it's damn weird.

I mean, Allie, the wheeler.

You tell me
about the bad things

that have been happening
to you.

Do you really care?

Believe it or not, I do.

Honest.

I mean, we both have had our
share of problems, haven't we?

Haven't we?

Mm-hm.

MAN:
Who owns you?

You own me.

MAN:
Do it for me Pamela.

MAN:
Yes.

Oh, yes.

Who's the girl
in the picture?

That's his daughter.

I thought so.

Where is she?

She's dead.

She and her mom were killed
in a car crash four years ago.

I never saw a man love anyone
the way he loved that kid.

She owned his heart.

He probably thought it'd be
better if he was the one killed

How old was she?

About 9.

So she'd be about my age
now.

Is that why he's helping me?

Because I'm like a stand-in
for his daughter?

I don't know.

Be quiet.

Go in the kitchen.

What's going on?

Just get in there
and close the door. Move.

Ah!

[SCREAMS]

Get back!

Ah!

Ugh!

Ah!

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

ALLIE:
Run! Run!

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John.

[MUMBLING]

Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John.

[MUMBLING]

[CHATTERING]

[CHATTERING]

What the hell happened here?

Garvey.

HAROLD:
He took two shots.

One of them severed
his spinal column,

and that's not even the one
that stopped him.

Is there a kid here?

What kid
are you talking about?

Was it the Hanley kid?

Were you keeping
the Hanley kid here?

Fuck you!

Don't walk out of here!
Garvey!

[DOORBELL BUZZING]

[BANGING]

[DOORBELL BUZZING]

[BANGING]

Shit.

There's nobody here.
What do you want?

Somebody tried
to kill the kid.

Nobody knew where she was
but you.

Who did you tell?

Don't be ridiculous.
I didn't tell anyone.

Some friends invited me
away for the weekend.

Why are you staring at me?

Get your hands off me.

Who did you tell?

Pamela had men around her
all the time,

always coming on to her.

That's how she fell in
with that man.

She needed someone
to protect her.

Who is he?

She never told me his name.

She was a child, you know.

He owned her.

You don't know
what I'm talking about, do you?

He gave her protection,

an explanation for why
we ballet dancers put up

with all the shit we take.

And she ate it up
like a hungry child.

She was perfect for him.

She was owned.

How did he find her?

I don't know. How does a shark
smell blood in water?

Describe him.

I only saw him once.

Where?

Don't push this, okay?

I'm so frightened
I can't breathe.

He's gonna kill the kid.

And what about me?
If I tell you, he'll kill me.

He's gonna kill you anyway.

You know too much.

Look, this is the truth.

Pamela took me someplace
once.

I was stoned real heavily,
so I don't know where it was.

There were some
very scary men there,

and I let them do anything they
wanted to do to me sexually.

That's how scared I was.

I don't know anything else.

I swear it.

Now, will you please
leave me alone?

I want to get out of here.

JOE:
What are you writing?

TINSEL:
I'm writing about a boy
I invented.

His name is Bobby Blue.

JOE:
What's he do?

He does anything
I want him to do.

I write about
that we go to the museum

and talk about things.

Garvey?

I kept walking around here
hoping you'd remember.

I didn't think
you were paying attention.

Come on. You gotta go somewhere
they won't find you.

Come on.

What?

Could you listen a minute?

I don't wanna stay here.

I wanna stay with you.

I don't feel safe
anywhere else.

You can't stay with me.

Why not?

Because you're 14 years old
for Christ's sake.

Where's your brains?

I know how old I am,
what's that got to do with it?

Those people know
that I'm 14 years old,

they're trying
to kill me anyway.

And I'm trying
to protect you.

No, you're not.
You're trying to get rid of me.

You don't care about me,
this me.

I'm not a person to you,
I'm just some case number.

You don't give a damn
about your own life,

how can you care about mine?

Well,
we have a room for her.

It's being prepared
right now.

You know,
I wouldn't be doing this

if it weren't an emergency.

Can you tell me more
than you have?

I'd rather not, Mother.

Trust me that it's as bad
as I said.

Garvey!

[TINSEL SOBS]

JOE:
What is it?

What?Who's going to take care of me?

Someone will take care
of you.

Someone? Who's someone?

I don't know.

Is it because I was mean
to you?

Is that why I can't stay
with you?

It's got nothing to do
with that.

But I won't be mean anymore.
I promise.

Please let me stay with you.

I'll be quiet.
I'll never say anything.

[SOBBING]

I don't know how to be nice,
no one ever taught me.

Don't punish me for it.

I'm not punishing you.

Then let me stay with you.

I can't.

Hold her.

No.

Joe, hold her.

No!

[SOBBING]

Jesus.

Come here.

Now, listen to me.

Listen, it's okay.

I'll take care of you.

Damn it.

I didn't want to.

You're like my kid,
you know.

You're like my own
little girl,

and I wanna take care of you

more than anything
in the world.

I'm not like just a stand-in,
am I?

I mean, you want me.
This me?

This you.

You're one of a kind,
believe me.

Come with me, dear.

You will come back for me,
won't you?

I'll come back.

He's going to be my father.

Give me that area there.

Enlarge it.

Enhance it.

More.

There.

KAREN:
8141.

It's mine.

FRANK:
You're a good cop, Joseph.

Don't do anything foolish.

We could have killed you
many times,

but I don't want you dead.

Don't judge me too quickly,
Joseph.

Come with me,

let me show you the truth
the way I see it.

Come.

Come in, Joseph.

Please, sit.

This wasn't supposed
to happen

for at least another year
or so.

We didn't think
you were quite ready.

So this is gonna come at you
a little too fast.

All I ask is that
you hear me out to the end.

When I was your age, Joseph,
being a cop was holy, sacred.

I literally used to get down
on my knees and thank God

for giving me the chance
to help others.

And you felt the same way,
didn't you?

Of course you did.

FRANK:
But it's turned rancid,
hasn't it?

It's not the same
holy experience anymore.

Being a cop is a joke,
Joseph.

Because society doesn't give
a shit about decency anymore.

Murder, drugs, violence,
they're all increasing.

You gave your life
to nothing.

I gave it to the law.

The law?

Yes.

But not to justice.

And the law's a big joke
anyway.

And we have laws
that let murderers go free,

that sentence child rapists

to discuss their problems
in therapy.

The law is useless
and everyone knows it.

So,

a bunch of people:

Doctors, judges, senators,
fellow officers.

All decent, respectable people,
have gotten together

and decided to do something,
to act.

The system isn't working
anymore.

We take the drug dealers,
the killers, the corrupters

who have slipped
through the judicial system

and we pass judgment
on them.

You kill them.

We execute them.

Who gives you the right?

Who gives a thief
the right to come into my house

in the middle of the night
and rob me at gunpoint?

You know, first hearing,
this may sound extreme,

but it's not, Joseph.

It' s not compared
to what's going on out there.

Why did you kill
Pamela Hanley?

That was
an unfortunate mistake.

A what?

A mistake we had to correct.

She was gonna expose us
to the news media.

Sometimes, Joseph,

innocent people have to die
to keep an idea alive.

Why are you after the kid?

She was a loose end.

I was afraid
she might know something.

As it turns out, I was right.
She knew about the tape.

We want you, Joseph.

Because you've been beaten down
every day,

because you had dreams,

because you're still
being crushed

for wanting to do right.

We want the hatred in you,
the anger and the rage

that wants to come out.

Let me give you that release,
Joseph.

Please.

Come with me.

Come with me, Joseph.

You're home, Joseph.

Everyone of these people
has been tracking you

since you lost your family.

Everyone?

Everyone.

Her father was a cop.

He was killed in a gunfight.

His killer went free
due to some technicality.

I recruited Karen while she
was still at the academy.

Do you recognize him,
Joseph?

Yeah.

No one can give you this gift,
Joseph.

No one but us.

This is the scum
that killed you wife and child.

He served a total
of five months and 11 days.

This is what our society's
become.

He's yours, Joseph.

Kill him.

You're ready now.

It's just a small step
to take.

Kill him.

Hey.

I didn't mean
to kill anybody.

Please.

Do it, Joseph.

Do it
for your wife and child.

You'll never feel better
in your life. Do it.

Joseph?

No.

It's all talk Frank.

You kill innocent people.

Pamela Hanley never hurt
anyone.

Don't throw this away.
You're so close.

Ah!

[CROWD GASPING]

[SCREAMING]

FRANK:
No. Wait. Wait.

Please. Please, wait. Wait.

Joseph, don't.

You're making
a terrible mistake.

Joseph. It's not too late.

Joseph, listen to me!

Joseph.

You can't get out of here.
I'm your only way out.

We'll give you everything.

We want you, Joseph.
Especially you.

We can't let you walk away,
don't you see that?

The department you joined
doesn't exist anymore.

You're almost there, Joseph.

Take this step, take this
last step and be one of us.

Joseph,

we won't kill the girl
if she means that much to you.

I'll take care of her.
We know where she is.

Let me have her, Joseph.
Let me own her.

Ah!

Jump.

Now.

Garvey!

They're going after the kid.

[SCREAMS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Get out of here!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Ugh.
Uh.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

MAN:
Ah!

MAN:
Ah!

JOE:
Ah!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BOTH SCREAMING]

TINSEL [NARRATING]:
That was Joe Garvey.

I was never more wrong
about anyone in my life.

He wasn't mean.

He was just lonely,
like I was.

Like I am.

I think he was the best cop
that ever lived.

He loved the job

and the people
that did it right.

He wore green
on Saint Patrick's Day,

didn't take graft,

and paid his dues
to the League on time.

I miss him so much.

He was tall, good-looking,
dressed well,

and he knew who Mahler was.

What else do you want?

Where am I going?I don't know, hon.

I was told to wait here.

Garvey?

Garvey!

[CRYING]

I knew you wouldn't die.

I knew you wouldn't.

Listen,

you'd better get moving.

I don't want some freak
on a roof taking a shot at you.

I'm going with him.

JOE:
Get in the car.

I was wrong about you,
Garvey.

I owe you an apology.

You're right.

I want you to call me
sometime.

Let me know
how you're doing.

Where's he going?

[CHUCKLES]
You don't wanna know that.

Those people are gonna come
looking for him and the kid.

So if anybody asks you
where Joe Garvey is,

just tell them he's dead.
