...attacked her homeboys with a baseball bat.
Somebody's let that dog off the leash.
I think you've got last-day-itis.
This man was not swinging a bat. He has a gym bag full of guns.
A gym bag?
You asked me to tell you what he wore. I gotta run.
We have to canvas the neighborhood.
One more second.
Please. It's important.
- Why don't you go to the store? - Why?
It's my last day.
The guys might want to have a send off or something.
What're they gonna do? Get some broad...
... with tassels dangling, dancing on your desk?
Course not.
Look, while you have been playing cop...
...I'm at home planning your retirement.
It's over. The sooner you get that, the better.
You are no longer in the law-enforcement business.
Now, I will expect you at the usual time. Capito?
Sandra, are you mad at me?
- I hate you, but I'm not mad. - You retiring too?
Just don't leave without saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
If you go up against this guy...
...be careful.
I'm Nick.
What can I do you for?
I'm just looking for some hiking boots.
Well, well. Hiking boots, huh?
Let's see what we got.
These are the top of the line.
Scientifically engineered and all that crap.
Guaranteed by some Sierra Club asshole not to hurt a chipmunk...
...if you step on it.
Personally, I think they're for pussies and faggots!
Now these...
...are Vietnam jungle boots.
Cost half as much, last twice as long and are great...
...for stomping queers!
When you're done, you gotta clean out the waffle with a stick...
...but you can't have everything, right?
Forget it.
Come on, let's go.
Have a nice day, fellas!
Y'all come back now, you hear?
You got a problem, buddy?
You got the problem!
- No, you do, buddy! - Read the sign!
"I reserve the right."
Now take a hike.
Make me.
Take it easy, Mary. Take it easy.
- Jesus! - Come on, make your play.
Would you just come on! I don't need this shit today.
Fucking redneck!
Fascist!
Fucking faggots!
You believe this shit?
Jesus!
Alternate lifestyle, my ass!
Imagine what those pumpkins do with each other when they're alone!
And what about the muff divers? Think about it.
Sergeant Prendergast.
She don't have to talk!
What do you want? I admitted it was a gang!
She don't have to say a word!
I know it was a white guy. We gotta talk. It's important.
How many guns were in the gym bag?
I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't see no gym bag!
The white guy took it, right? More people could get hurt.
Now help me out.
The bag was already in the car when I got in.
How many guns were in it?
I don't know.
Lots of guns.
They got all the guns in the fucking world.
Good?
Can I help you?
Police officer. I'm looking for a man.
Are you now?
Late 30s...
...white shirt and tie...
...he'd be carrying a gym bag.
What's the police scanner for?
My own personal amusement.
Seen anyone like I've described?
Nope.
- Okay, thanks. - Listen.
Tell me something.
Why don't they call you guys...
...officer-esses?
I beg your pardon?
You know, like actress? Like that?
Something to signify...
...you know.
I guess they feel that a police officer is a police officer...
...not a...
..."you know."
Thanks for your cooperation, sir.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, officer-ess.
Why'd you do that?
There's something I wanna show you.
I'm not gonna turn you in. I'm your friend.
Come on.
I don't bring just anybody back here.
This is my own private stash.
I got some great stuff here.
World War I. Good shape.
Speaking of gas, wait a minute.
Wait just a minute.
You know what was in this?
Zyklon-B.
You remember?
What the Nazis had?
Listen.
Empty.
This was used, man.
This was actually used.
I wonder how many kikes this little can took out.
Think about it. Here.
Why are you showing me this?
I'm not.
That's just for fun. You can keep that.
This is what I want to show you.
The real thing.
Heat-seeking, shoulder-fired. It's fucking disposable!
You can take out a jet with one of these monkeys.
It's for you.
I want you to have it.
Why?
Because I'm with you.
Don't you get it?
I listened to the scanner. I heard about Whammyburger.
Fucking fantastic!
It's a bunch of niggers, right? On TV, it's always white kids.
But when you go in there, it's nothing but a bunch of niggers!
They'll spit on your food if you're not nice.
I know all about it.
I'm with you.
We're the same, you and me.
We're the same. Don't you see?
We are not the same.
I'm an American. You're a sick asshole.
What kind of vigilante are you?
I am not a vigilante.
I'm just trying to get home for my little girl's birthday.
And if everybody will stay out of my way, nobody will get hurt.
Fuck you!
Who the fuck are you? Are you fucking with me?
I am just disagreeing with you!
In America, we have freedom of speech, the right to disagree!
Fuck you and your freedom!
Who the fuck are you?
You fuck! You faggot fuck!
Gonna take my rocket.
I ought to shoot you, motherfucker! Now turn around!
Now lean on that counter! Go on, lean on it!
Look at this shit!
What is this doing in there?
Faggot shit!
You want freedom, huh? I'll give you fucking freedom!
Further back. Feet farther back.
Spread them out. Farther.
You're going to jail, motherfucker! How's that for freedom?
Freedom to get fucked up the ass by some big buck nigger.
Give me your hand.
He's gonna be right behind you, just like this.
Think about it. You gonna like that, faggot?
You gonna like that, you faggot fuck? Give me your other hand.
- I can't. - Why not?
Gravity.
Gravity? What the fuck does that mean?
I'll fall down.
Now give me your other hand! Give it to me now!
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Come on. Come on.
Give it to me.
This isn't one of mine.
Oh, my God!
Good!
Freedom of religion.
Now you get the swing of it!
Feels good to exercise your rights.
I'm listening.
We got a nutcase with a bag full of guns.
He's in Hollywood, heading west.
What is he up to?
He's up to a lot of trouble.
Never mind, we've got a hallway full of suspects.
It wasn't a gang thing. I can tell you that.
Angelina is a tramp and a liar.
We don't appreciate you interfering with our investigation.
I've got a positive I.D. on the gym bag, okay?
What's this?
A gym bag.
Does this mean you're putting me under arrest?
You guys take off.
I gave you that speech earlier...
...because that's regulations. They make me do it.
This one's from me. I've never liked you.
You know why? You don't curse. I don't trust a man who doesn't curse.
Not a "fuck" or a "shit" in all these years. Real men curse.
And I don't like a man who's afraid to hit the street.
- It's bad for morale. - I'm not afraid.
Get back behind that desk where you belong...
...and don't waste any more of my time pretending you're a cop.
A man in a white shirt and tie shot up a phone booth near the Whammyburger.
- Did you hear me? - I heard you.
Right about here, right?
How did you know?
He got the bag of guns at the drive-by.
Then you were right.
Excuse me.
- What is wrong with you? - Me?
I'm a coward, the captain told me. Get out of my way.
Hey, look. It is your own fault.
You let everybody think that, when it was your wife.
She made you get off the street.
What happens between me and my wife is nobody's business but mine!
Sorry, I've been a bitch all day.
She didn't make me quit. I came home late one night...
...and found her sitting in the dark.
She thought I'd been killed.
She thought I was a ghost. I had to chase her all over the house.
- I'm sorry. - Forget it.
- Where are you going? - See if I can earn my last day's pay.
Let me go with you.
I thought you were on duty.
What do you say, partner?
Fuck them!
Go!
Who were you talking to a while ago?
You're trying to scare me.
Am I succeeding?
No, you're not succeeding. So you just might as well stop it.
And you're not scaring me out of my own house.
And you're not coming here.
But I am. I'm on my way. You can count on that.
I'm past the point of no return.
Do you know when that is?
That's the point in a journey...
...where it's longer to go back to the beginning...
...than it is to continue to the end.
It's like...
Remember when those astronauts got in trouble?
They were going to the moon and something went wrong.
They had to get back to Earth...
...but they had passed the point of no return.
So they had to go all the way around the moon to get back...
... and they were out of contact for hours.
Everybody waited to see if a bunch of dead guys in a can...
...would pop out the other side.
That's me.
On the other side of the moon now...
...out of contact...
...and everybody's just going to have to wait till I pop out.
The police are here.
Did you know, Beth...
...that in certain South American countries it's still legal...
...to kill your wife if she insults you?
They're here right now. I'm looking at one right now.
Put him on the phone.
- What are we gonna do? - Talk to the Korean guy.
Then we just start banging on doors.
What is it?
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
I'm sure the guy will let you use his bathroom.
Prendergast, what are you doing?
I know who this guy is!
Who is he?
He had a personalized license plate. What the hell was it?
It said, "D-Fens."
Defense?
D-dash-F-E-N-S. "D-Fens."
They said he was on his way home. Go check out his address.
Mr. Lee!
Defense!
Hold it! Back up.
You dumb bitch! You cut me off! What's wrong with you!
Move back! Out of the way!
What are you, a moron?
If I wanted to be in a parking lot, I'd buy a ticket, you dumb bitch!
You can't come this way.
What are you doing?
Fixing the street! What does it look like?
Two days ago, it was fine.
You're saying it fell apart in two days?
Well, I guess so.
Pardon me, but that's bullshit!
I don't think anything's wrong with the street.
You're trying to justify your budgets.
- Are you nuts? - I know how it works.
If you don't spend your budget, you won't get any money next year.
I want you to admit nothing's wrong with the street!
Fuck you, pal!
You're not gonna hold us hostage with these yellow lights and big trucks.
I'm just here to keep people from falling in. That's all.
I want to hear it from you.
What's wrong with the street?
I don't know. I really don't. I think it's a sewer job.
You're lying.
What's wrong with the street?
Nothing.
I knew it.
See, I knew it was fine.
But I'll give you something to fix.
- Oh, Jesus... - Here!
Hey, Charlie! Oh, please, man!
We got a goddamn nut here!
Fucking guy back there with a bazooka!
Pull that thing off.
- What thing? - That.
Then pull on both ends. It gets bigger.
Like this?
Now flip that thing up. It's your aimer.
How do you know?
I saw it on TV.
What's the name of the movie?
What's the movie you're making?
Under Construction. You like it?
It's all right. Where's the cameras?
The cameras are on. Just stand back.
What do I do now?
Just look through the aimer. What you aiming at?
That yellow monster down there.
Look at it and pull the trigger. It's really easy.
Trigger?
That one right there.
But aim first, man.
Look out!
- Nothing happened. - Must have been a dud or something.
Cool, man!
What is it? I'll sic the dog on you!
Police officers, ma'am.
How are you?
Where's the dog?
He's dead.
- What is it? - We need to ask you some questions.
Just a few questions, ma'am.
What kind of questions?
Do you have a warrant?
You invited us in.
Now I'm inviting you out.
What relation are you to William Foster?
What are you saying? He's my son. I don't want you here.
Would you look at this? This is really amazing.
Amazing!
Does he have another house, another place he might call home?
Now this is a what?
- A dragon? - Don't touch that!
Why would he do that? This is his home.
- I want you to go now. - Did this one melt?
That one.
It's a giraffe, drinking.
Now, of all of these, which is your very favorite?
Right now, I think this skunk.
That's lovely.
That's not paint.
You know, his stripe.
It isn't?
It might be, but it's not painted on.
It's in the glass.
What the hell?
It's the groundskeeper.
Well, if he is, he's out of uniform. Hey, you there!
What are you doing there?
Just passing through.
Nobody said you could play through. Get off my hole.
He said he was passing through.
He's not a member. Look how he's dressed.
Get off my golf course!
I am!
Go back the way you came!
I don't like his looks. Leave him alone.
What am I paying dues for? This is my golf course!
If I want to play here, I will!
If he gets hit with my Titleist, that's his problem!
Don't yell at me. I'm just here playing with you...
Fore!
Five!
Wait a minute!
What the hell you trying to do? Kill me with a golf ball?
It's not enough you got all this land for your little game?
But you had to kill me with a golf ball?
You should have children playing here. Family picnics.
You should have a petting zoo...
...instead of electric carts for you old men with nothing better to do.
Frank, what's wrong? Frank!
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
- I gotta get some help! - What's wrong with you?
- Help! - Your heart?
Something's wrong with your heart? What can I do?
Pills! Pills!
Pills?
Where are they?
Cart, cart.
Call the paramedics! My friend just had a heart attack!
I guess you're out of luck. Your little cart's gonna drown.
Aren't you sorry you didn't let me pass through your golf course?
Now you're gonna die wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?
This is his room.
You're a very neat and tidy lady.
He cleans his own room.
Now don't make me call you a liar.
If he wasn't at work, I'd be afraid to set foot in here.
What's he been doing lately?
Same as ever.
Building important things to protect us from the Communists.
He works at Notec.
The defense plant.
D-Fens.
Call Notec and see if you can get him.
So what's going on with your son?
- How do you mean? - You know exactly what I mean.
Sometimes he sits through an entire meal without saying a word.
He just shovels food into his mouth like a machine.
I get so nervous...
...I can't swallow.
I'll sit there with the same piece of food in my mouth.
I have to spit it out. When I do, he looks at me...
...like he'd like to kill me.
Don't tell him I said that.
I promise I won't.
I try not to be a burden. I'm not just talking financial.
How could you be a burden to anyone?
If William, or Bill, as I like to call him...
He likes Bill. I call him Bill too.
If Bill said he was going home...
...could he have meant where his wife and child live?
Ex-wife. We shouldn't be in here.
Ex-wife, right. Elizabeth. What's her maiden name?
Trevino. She was part Italian. You know how they are.
- Where's Elizabeth now? - I wouldn't know.
You don't know where your grandchild lives?
He doesn't want me to know. He blames me for what happened.
What's the word?
- He was fired over a month ago. - What?
Where has he been going every day?
Where has he been eating his lunch?
Why are you putting barbed wire on that fence?
Is it a joke?
Is this how rich people have fun? You put barbed wire on the fence...
...so innocent people like me can cut our hands?
No, please. I'm the caretaker.
It's just a barbecue.
Dr. Ashcroft has let us do this before.
You don't live here?
Is it really necessary to tell them?
Tell who?
Altmore Security.
Aren't you with them?
No, please!
It's okay, honey. It's okay, baby.
What kind of doctor lives here?
Plastic surgeon.
Plastic surgery bought all this?
Guess I'm in the wrong racket.
Are there correspondence courses in plastic surgery?
I lost my job.
Actually, I didn't lose it. It lost me.
I'm overeducated, underskilled...
Maybe it's the other way around. I forget.
And I'm obsolete.
I'm not economically viable.
I can't even support my own kid.
Are you hurt? I'm sorry.
I didn't hurt you, honey. I'm sorry.
It's all right.
It's your hand.
You cut your hand.
It's my hand.
Please take me with you.
They won't do anything if I'm with you.
Just please let them go.
What do you think? You think I want to hurt your family?
I have a family of my own.
You don't believe me?
We believe you.
That's where I'm going. I'm going home to see my family.
It's my little girl's birthday today.
We were gonna have a barbecue, like you guys...
...and she was gonna play outside...
...and my wife would hold my hand...
...and talk about grownup things.
And then when it got dark...
...we'd all go to sleep together.
We'd all sleep together in the dark.
And everything...
...would be just like it was before.
You can't leave. Believe me, something's happened to him.
It doesn't take all day to drive from Pasadena to Venice.
That doesn't constitute a threatening phone call.
The guy was talking about Star Trek or something.
- He's getting a kick out of scaring you. - Please don't leave.
There's only one thing you can do to really feel safer.
Next time there's a proposition...
...to cut the number of patrol cars on the street, vote no, okay?
Have a nice day.
What have you found so far?
No luck on Foster-Trevino.
Go straight to the maiden name.
I've got something on an Army-Navy store.
- Where? - Here.
Jesus, Prendergast, I was there!
That guy was a prick.
You know what else he was?
Murdered. They found him stuffed in his own display case.
Oh, my God!
Here, I'll help you change the...
You know what they did?
They turned our ice-cream parlor into a Southwest American, New Age thing.
I went to buy a rocking horse.
All I could find was a unicorn with an Indian on top of it.
Can you believe that, Elizabeth? Can you believe it?
Come on!
Where are we going? When's my birthday?
Some G.I. Joe gave a geezer a heart attack at the golf course...
...and accosted a family right next door.
A G.I. Joe?
He's wearing the kind of jacket you find in an Army-Navy store.
I found her! Trevino, Elizabeth.
Don't tell me.
Venice.
How'd you know?
Where else would an Italian move to?
Look what I got.
We got a puppy. We got a puppy.
Happy birthday to you
Hi, puppy!
No answer at the ex-wife.
- You send the cavalry? - No, Pacific Division are pricks.
They can't send units to the same address three times in a day...
...to comfort some hysterical woman.
- What do you want to do? - Go to Venice.
Get that, would you?
Prendergast here.
Who the fuck is this?
Shit. It's your wife.
Oh, boy. Hon?
Yeah, "hon." I know who that was!
Mr. Peepers just scratched the shit out of me...
...and I'm bleeding like a stuck pig.
Something important's come up.
What am I? Dog vomit?
Your wife says she's bleeding to death...
...and you say something important has come up?
- When are you coming home? - I don't know.
Don't tell me you don't know.
I want to know when the hell you're coming home, now!
Amanda, shut up!
Did you hear me? Shut up!
I'll get home when I'm finished, not a second before. Is that clear?
Is that clear?
You don't have to bite my head off.
And you have dinner ready and waiting for me, okay?
And leave the skin on the chicken. All right?
Goodbye.
Shit!
Let's go!
Surprise!
I'm sorry, Prendergast!
We tried and tried, but could not fit your fucking name on the cake!
Congratulations. You made it out alive!
Listen, listen.
All right, hold it, hold it.
Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've been waiting for.
This afternoon's entertainment, Miss Suzie!
Suzie Q!
Do your thing!
Is this the retiring boy?
Wait, wait! This is great, guys.
This is great. I appreciate it, but I can't stay.
Jesus! What's your problem? You afraid of women too?
I don't blame him. You ever met his wife?
What did you say?
- What? - What did you say?
Nothing.
We don't have time for this.
You're right.
Ready, honey?
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday...
... to you
No cake for you?
If she doesn't want it, don't force her.
Okay, you can have the teddy.
Time to go horsy!
It's okay. Horsy! It's okay.
Giddyap, giddyap.
- She doesn't want to. - Just put her on the horse!
There we go! Horsy ride.
She doesn't want to.
- Put her on the horse! - You can't force her like that.
I bought her the goddamn horse.
Here we go! Horsy ride.
You're scaring her. I want you to stop this.
Come on, honey. It's your birthday. It's the pier.
It's your favorite place. You love the pier.
Why do you do this?
Take the back.
Freeze!
You okay?
- I'm all right. - Somebody get an ambulance.
Get an ambulance! Call 911! Get an ambulance!
Tell them an officer's been shot! Go, go, go! Get an ambulance!
Be careful!
Go get the bastard!
He's still dressed like G.I. Joe!
Daddy! Mommy, look. Daddy!
Hi, honey.
I thought I'd find you here.
Leave us alone!
What? I can't talk to my wife?
I'm not your wife anymore.
No? Sugar, does this ring a bell? "Till death do us part"?
Do you remember that?
I'm sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
What are you doing?
I'm coming home from a hard day at the office.
God bless the working stiffs!
Please leave her alone!
You're so big!
How'd you get so big?
I missed it.
They stole it from me, honey.
Don't you worry. They're not gonna take it anymore.
Bill, listen, please.
You've got to stop this.
You need help.
You're sick.
Sick?
You wanna see sick?
Take a walk around this town. That's sick.
You ain't kidding.
Would you believe it that I used to fish right here?
This very spot?
Now they tell you, "Don't eat the fish. It's poisonous."
You can't even swim in the water.
It'll give you some kind of bacterial infection.
How's that for sick?
I'm having a private moment with my family. Leave us alone.
I'm leaving soon.
I'm retiring to Arizona. Lake Havasu City.
You been there?
That's not what I mean!
They call it a lake, but it's really just a big bowl of muddy water.
But the wife thinks it's paradise.
Everybody has their own idea of what paradise is.
Take me, for instance.
You know what I thought paradise was?
- What? - If you'll excuse me.
Making babies.
Ain't that a kick? Making babies.
This your little girl?
Beautiful.
She's special.
You know, my wife never was cut out for motherhood.
She did it all for me.
Went through all that pain, lost her figure, for me.
Then the kid went to sleep one night, never woke up.
They called it "Infant Death...
...Syndrome."
But she wasn't an infant. She was 2 years old.
She was a big girl.
She was our baby.
Here, darling, this is for you. Here you go.
What can you do?
If she'd been hit by a drunk driver...
But who do you blame when they just don't wake up?
Thank you, sweetheart.
There's a guy with a gun!
No! Don't!
Elizabeth, no!
Freeze! You're under arrest.
Get out of here!
Freeze!
- What were you gonna do? - I don't know!
Guys like you always say that!
You know exactly what you were gonna do. Kill your wife and child!
Then it'd be too late to turn back. It'd be easy to kill yourself.
Let's go meet some nice policemen. They're good guys. Let's go.
I'm the bad guy?
How did that happen?
I did everything they told me to.
Did you know I build missiles?
I help to protect America.
You should be rewarded for that.
Instead, they give it to the plastic surgeon. They lied to me.
Is that what this is about? You're angry because you got lied to?
Is that why my dinner's drying out in the oven?
They lie to everybody. They lie to the fish!
That doesn't give you any right to do what you did today.
The only thing that makes you special is that little girl. Now, let's go.
Let's go!
Sure was hot today, wasn't it?
He has a gun! The end of the pier!
Keep this crowd back! Let's get some backup!
You know, I got a gun.
In my pocket.
I got lots of guns.
Stay there. Don't move.
You wanna draw?
Let's not. Let's call it a day.
Now come on.
It's perfect.
Showdown between the sheriff and the bad guy?
It's beautiful.
On three.
This doesn't have to be the end. You have a choice.
My little girl is dead. I don't have a choice. You do!
No, you have two choices:
I can kill you.
Or you can kill me...
...and my little girl can get the insurance.
One...
Don't you wanna see her grow up?
Behind bars?
Don't do this. Please.
- Let's go! - Three.
I would have got you.
What cooperation was there between Pacific Division and Downtown?
Not to denigrate the Venice Police...
...but it was one of our fellows that put this together.
Prendergast!
This is Sergeant Prendergast. Damn fine work, Prendergast.
Fuck you, Captain Yardley. Fuck you very much!
I can't believe... Did he just say that?
You're welcome.
- You still here? - Afraid so.
We've stabilized her. She'll be all right.
I'll see you at the hospital.
How are you doing?
I haven't told her yet.
Oh, shit!
It's her birthday. What should I do?
Tell her tomorrow.
Let her have her little party.
- What's your name, darling? - Adele.
Adele? That's a nice name.
If I had a little girl, I'd want her to be named Adele.
- What's yours? - Mine?
My name is mud.
Your name is not mud.
It will be when my wife finds out that...
