Just one hour to go. My last day on the job.
Early retirement. Not my idea.
Doctor's orders. Heart condition.
"Angina
I'm polishing my badge
of saying goodbye to it. It
of protecting and serving and tears
and blood and terror and triumph it represents.
I'm thinking about Eileen's slow smile.
About the thick
And I'm thinking about the one loose end I haven't tied up.
A young girl who's out there somewhere
helpless in the hands of a drooling lunatic.
Damn it
You're gonna get us both killed. I won't Iet you. I'm warnin' you.
Let go of my coat
You're draggin' me down with you.
I'm your partner. They can kill me
I'm gettin' on the horn
Sure
gets his sick thrills with victim number four. Victim number four!
Nancy Callahan
And that backup that we're waitin' on will just so happen to show up
just late enough for Roark to get back to his US Senator daddy.
Take a deep breath
SettIe down and think straight.
You're pushin' 60 and you got a bum ticker.
You ain't savin' anyone.
You got a great attitude
ReaI credit to the force
EiIeen's at home waitin' for you. Think about EiIeen.
Heck
...maybe you are right.
I'm gIad to hear you're finally taIkin' sense.
Hell of a way to end a partnership.
Hell of a way to start my retirement.
Nancy Callahan
For all I know
You've been a very good girI
You've been very quiet.
Don't be scared.
We're gonna be taking you home soon.
But first
He's a very nice man.
Halfway to the warehouse where Weevil said they took her
and it hits. Wicked spot of indigestion.
- At least that's what I pray it is.
...momentary digression.
The briefest induIge-ment in automotive pIeasure.
For cheap thrills. Such short-Iived durabiIity
You wouId risk engender-ating ill will on the part of our empIoyers.
Burt Shlubb and Douglas Klump:
two any-dirty-job-there-is thugs with delusions of eloquence.
This Jaguar you so pinheadedIy covet
remanded to our custody
remains the property of the son of Senator Roark.
Gotta keep this quiet. Take 'em down fast.
A dent
and before-mentioned consequences which I made mention
shall sureIy be athwart us.
Catch your breath. Give your heart time to slow down.
But it won't slow down.
Get over it.
She needs you.
We're all done here
Let's give them some time together. Give them some privacy.
Be with you in a minute
I'm making sure they get aIong really well.
What kind of beast couIdn't get aIong with a precious little girl like this?
You must be awfully scared now.
But you've got nothing to be scared of.
All we're gonna do is have a nice IittIe taIk.
That's all. Just a nice taIk. Just you and me.
Don't you cry now.
Doctor said it'd be like this.
Just take the pill he gave you.
No need to play it quiet.
Not anymore.
Breathe steady
What the hell? Go out with a bang.
He likes to hear 'em scream.
I've seen his victims and their twisted little faces
all wide-mouthed and bug-eyed
No screams. Either I'm just in time
It's nothing. Barely a flesh wound. On your feet
Roark. Give it up.
Let the girI go.
You can't do a goddamn thing to me.
You know who I am.
You know who my father is!
You can't touch me
Look at you. You can't even Iift that cannon you're carrying.
Sure
Cover your eyes
I mean it
I take his weapons away.
Both of them.
Hell of a way to end a partnership.
For God's sakes
- Don't make me kill you. - Doin' fine
Never better.
I'm ready to kick your ass.
Keep him talking. Buy time.
Just a few more minutes. Till the backup gets here.
Sit down and stay down. I'll kill you if I have to.
Keep his mind off the girl
Can't kill her once backup gets here.
Run home
Hey. Don't Iisten to him. He's a crazy man.
- What a tough man you are. - You stay right where you're at.
You shoot your partner in the back...
...then you try to scare a girI. Maybe I'll pull my spare rod
pIug you a coupIe of times
We couId've worked something out. Sit down or I'll bIast you in haIf.
- So sIow
You'll never be abIe to stop me.
I finally sit down
The sirens are close now.
She'll be safe.
Things go dark. I don't mind much.
Getting sleepy. It's OK.
She'll be safe.
An old man dies
a little girl lives.
Fair trade.
Just tell me it isn't true
What they're saying about you and that chiId.
It can't be true.
If you ever want to see me again...
...say something now.
We're Iooking at your basic mountain of DNA evidence.
The testimony of your own partner
corroboration by six eyewitnesses
and there's your own siIence.
I'll do what I can
Come on
What's shuttin' you up?
This whoIe thing stinks to high heaven.
I'm not the onIy one on the force who smells it.
Sure
That's my job.
But don't expect any friendIy chitchat out of me
I heard what you done to that girI.
I hope they throw away the key.
Evenin'
I don't have to introduce myseIf
You read the papers.
This being an eIection year
You know who I am and what I can do.
And I'm doin' you
CoId and hard
You bIew my son's ear off.
You bIew his arm off. You even bIew his nuts and his pecker off.
He's in a coma right now. They say he may never come out of it. My boy.
He couId've been the first Roark to become the president
but you went and turned him into a brain-damaged
Pullin' that trigger make you feeI powerfuI?
Power don't come from a badge or a gun.
Power comes from Iying.
Lying big
Once you got everybody agreeing
with what they know in their hearts ain't true
There's what
I couId pump you full of bullets right now
Everyone wouId Iie for me
Otherwise
it all comes tumbIing down Iike a pack of cards.
But I want you firm and fit and heaIthy.
I'm even putting up cash of my own to get you more surgery.
Fix that heart condition of yours.
You're gonna keep on Iiving a Iong time. I'm gonna make sure of that.
You're gonna be convicted of raping that IittIe brat
You're gonna spend the rest of your Iife in prison
disgraced
...aIone.
Your wife?
You tell her the truth and she's dead.
You tell anybody the truth and they're dead.
They won't Iet me testify.
I toId the cops that you saved my Iife and they just acted Iike I was crazy.
They taIked my parents into keeping me away.
They said that you'd done things that you didn't do.
I toId them you saved me from that Roark creep
but they won't even check me out to see that I'm still a virgin.
I'm still a virgin
They got it all backwards.
Sometimes
But you'll aIways remember things right.
That's gonna mean a Iot to me.
But stay away
Don't visit me.
Don't write me.
Don't even say my name.
Maybe you won't Iet me visit
I'll sign my Ietters "CordeIia."
That's the name of a really cooI detective in books I read.
I'll write you every week... for forever.
Sure
Now
It's not safe for you here.
Bye
I Iove you.
John Hartigan.
Mr. Law and Order.
Mr. By the Book.
Mr. High and Mighty.
I gotta give you credit
without it catching up with you.
It's catching up with you now
It's catching up with you but good.
Maybe I oughta Iook at him. He doesn't Iook good.
Oh! He's haIe and hearty
See?
He's the picture of heaIth.
That Tammy
I rented her out of OId Town.
I wanted to show you what you won't be getting any of
You hear me
If you stop being stupid
you might just get some of Tammy.
You see that? She fIinched.
You make her sick.
She heard about you and that IittIe girI.
Nothing but a price I promised myself I'd pay
and I'm paying it.
You don't save a little girl's life
then turn around and throw her to the dogs.
Not in my book
They want a confession. They won't get it.
There was a letter from Nancy waiting when they put me in solitary.
She calls herself "Cordelia
She makes no mention of anything that would give her away.
At first
before her young mind moves on to better things.
But every Thursday
What a sweet kid.
I do my best to keep my hand from shaking when I reach for it.
She's the only friend I've got
My sweet Cordelia.
Skinny little Nancy Callahan.
Eight years pass.
Then comes a Thursday when I bound from my cot
excited as a kid at Christmas
only to find myself staring at the damn floor of my damn cell
looking for a letter from Nancy that isn't there.
Then another Thursday with no letter.
Is she all right?
Did something happen to her?
Nothing.
Two months now. Not a word from Nancy.
Did they find her? Did they get to her?
Of course! Stupid old man.
Do your math. Nancy's 19 years old.
How long did you expect her to keep writing?
She was a saint to keep it up as long as she did.
She's forgotten you
You're alone.
You're all alone.
This guy smells awful
Like a corpse left in a garbage dumpster in the middle of summer.
He stinks so bad
Practically knocked my head off
When I come to
The same kind of envelope Nancy always uses
but there's no letter inside of it.
There's something soft
a hunk of meat and bone that ought to be the index finger
of the right hand of a 19-year-old girl.
How the hell did they find her?
She was so careful.
She never gave away where she lives or where she works.
I've got to get out. I've got to help her.
Nothing else matters. Not my life and not my pride
It's only one final surrender they want.
You got me
I'll get it
He never sIeeps and he's aIways getting himseIf in deep.
Yeah.
What?
Hartigan
No
I'll be there by ten
Lucille
She almost slugged me when I stopped her from hiring a new attorney.
When I refused to plead innocent she did slug me.
When she hears what I'm gonna do she'll probably slug me again.
Hartigan.
Damn.
It's Iike they were waiting for my call.
They're ready to deaI. They're practically begging for a deaI.
They're scared of something.
One of them promised me you'd be out on paroIe
if you confessed and expressed regret and all that other dumb crap
that
No
Then
for faIse prosecution.
You're gonna be exonerated.
You're gonna be a very rich man.
This isn't Iike you think it is.
Like hell it isn't. Doesn't take a genius to figure out who framed you.
- But even Senator Roark... - You hung up the phone too soon.
- We'll use the Iaw
He will never know what hit him.
I'm gonna confess.
Excuse me?
John Hartigan
confessing to raping a IittIe girI and bIubbering for mercy?
No
I'm going in there and I'm telling them I'm a twisted
I'm agreeing to anything they want from me.
All right
Let's get this over with.
I say everything they want to hear
I tell them I'm a twisted
I agree to everything they want from me.
I love you
It's a Iot of miIes into town
- You care for a ride? - Long as you stay in front of me.
Prison's made you paranoid. TaIk about water under the bridge.
Christ.
Eight years.
Yeah. Eight years.
Well
...you made me hate myseIf.
- Any word from EiIeen? - Yeah.
She got remarried four years ago.
- She had two kids. I'm sorry
Don't be. I'm gIad.
EiIeen aIways wanted kids.
She'll make a good mother.
Like you said
Bob and I get on with fond farewells to each other
then I go looking for the only human being who means a damn to me:
Nancy.
How could they have found out it was you writing all those letters to me?
How did they find out who you are?
And what have they done to you
Not a sound.
No sign of life.
Has Roark gone to all this trouble just to torture a broken old man
like a kid poking at a fly when he's already torn his wings off?
What has he done to Nancy?
All she does is read and study and write.
No diary
Closest thing to a clue is a pack of matches from a lousy saloon.
It's a long shot
A dead end. Nancy wouldn't have anything to do
with a pack of drunks and losers like this.
But if there's anything to be found
or who kidnapped and mutilated her
Excuse me
CoId night Iike this
It's not Iike that. Her name is Nancy.
Eyes to the stage
She's just warming up.
Skinny little Nancy Callahan.
She grew up.
She filled out.
Nancy Callahan
And here I was
maybe a bit too shy for her own good.
How little she told me about herself in all her letters for all those years.
How the hell did they find her?
Then it hits me.
They were bluffing.
I've led them straight to her.
She hasn't spotted you yet.
Turn around and walk out the door.
Lead the creep outside.
Get that Beretta away from him somehow
I'm just a horny ex-con watching an exotic dancer.
Just a few seconds and she'll be safe.
No
Don't recognize me.
There's no time to expIain.
I've made a terribIe mistake
We need to get out of here right this second.
Whatever you say
And here I'd figured you'd forgotten all about me. Me and my dumb Ietters.
Kept me going.
Kept me from killing myseIf.
Hurry up
- Maybe I shouId drive. - Not a chance.
Nobody but me can keep this heap running.
Besides
- I don't have a gun. - Under the seat.
It's Ioaded and it works.
Yeah
Taken it to the range a coupIe of times. Kicks Iike a muIe.
Hartigan
You've never been far from my thoughts.
I've Iain awake nights
What are you taIking about? Damn!
Keep driving
She's counting on you.
- What are you doing? - Prove you're still worth a damn.
Try to keep it on the road
He's a decent shot.
He's got skill
Throwing away bullets like they were candy.
He doesn't know how to take his time.
Aim careful and look the devil in the eye.
Ah!
Stop the car
- What? - Stop the car
Right. Stop the car
Sorry. I got a IittIe rattIed.
It's OK. You did great. Sit tight. I'll be right back.
No! Let me stay cIose.
Nothing can happen to me when I'm with you.
PIease? Let me stay cIose.
The stink. I almost gag. His blood smells worse than he does.
- Jesus. - And it's all over the place.
But the creep himself
We're out of time.
The sirens. I used to welcome the sound.
Nothing to do now but find a place for the night
get Nancy calmed down
The stink... somehow it stays with us all the way to the motel.
Nancy
Your window was thrown wide open. The rooms Iooked aImost empty.
That's why I was sure you'd been kidnapped.
My window? Robbed again? That's the third time this year!
I swore if I ever saw you again
But there I was
- I'm such an asshoIe. - You shouId sit down.
You'll feeI better if you sit down.
I've never been all that good with people.
When it comes to reassuring a traumatized 19-year-old
I'm as expert as a palsy victim doing brain surgery with a pipe wrench.
It's aIways been you
All these years.
It's just nerves making you say that
You're just exhausted. You need to sIeep.
- SIeep with me. - Stop it
Eight years.
Why do you think I kept writing you those Ietters?
It wasn't just gratitude.
I tried to fall in Iove with boys.
Even thought I did once or twice.
But I was aIready in Iove... with you.
No.
There's wrong and there's wrong and then there's this.
For God's sakes
I Iove you.
I Iove you
With all my heart.
Cold shower. It helps.
No
Recognize my voice
I Iook different
Sure. I recognize your voice
Everything's gone straight to hell.
I've been suckered into betraying the only friend I've got
put her in the hands of a rapist I thought I'd put down for good.
Suckered by a spoiled brat son of a senator.
It's all gone to hell.
KIump
I got a dead man needs to be fetched.
I want you to set me up for a party.
I've aIready got the girI
Hey
My tooIs better be cIean and sharp.
It better be ready! It better be perfect!
I get to do whatever I want
My dad... I'd Iove him if I didn't hate him.
He spent a fortune hiring every expert on the pIanet
to grow back that equipment you bIew off between my Iegs
just so the old fart can hold out some kind of hope of having a grandkid.
Although
I'm not compIaining. Since you've been gone
And now you've led me back to your darIing CordeIia.
We wondered who wrote those Ietters. She Ieft not a cIue.
CIever girI. And so pretty
A little old for my taste
Nancy
Whatever he does to you
She'll scream. I'm gonna take all night doing dear oId Nancy.
And you're gonna die knowing that it's all your fauIt.
They've all screamed
Dozens of them
Eight years' worth. Every one of them has screamed.
If there weren't so many peopIe hereabout
I wouId show you how I'm gonna make dear oId Nancy scream.
It's gonna be one hell of a show!
This is it. No way to fight it now.
No hope left.
No chance.
This is it. This is the end.
No.
Give it a shot
The window
Keep your neck tight
Stay conscious.
No alarm.
The glass! Cut the rope.
You can do it. You can do it.
It is incIement upon me
to comment with marked dispIeasure on your rash impuIsiveness
in seIecting such an eye-catching and impracticaI car
to heist
Protest though you might
you must none-the-Iess admit to the sheer phallic majesty
of said Ferrari's performance.
An engine of cyclopean power throbs beneath this steeI stallion's hood.
IrreIevant to said mission is the following query
which I now put forth to you:
Wherein this most streamIined
and trunkIess of transports
boner-inspiring though it may be
wherein are we to reposit our recentIy deceased cargo?
A worthy concern.
NeatIy eIucidated.
I can onIy express puzzIement that borders on aIarm.
Tell me where Roark takes the girIs or I'll cut your damn head off!
In pIain EngIish
The answer you seek is ruraI
The farm!
That's all I need to hear. Every cop on the force
knows about the Roark family's farm and to stay away from it.
Shlubb and Klump were packing an arsenal.
Once things get loud
But at first
Quiet and nasty.
Nancy's car
"Nobody but me can keep this heap running
Good girl. The car stalled out on that yellow bastard
and you didn't tell him how to start it up again.
You kept your mouth shut. I'll bet Junior was furious.
I'll bet he slapped you around something fierce.
But you stayed strong. You bought a few extra minutes.
There's still a chance
Don't scream.
I ditch the car a mile or so from the farm
and make my way through the woods.
I'm not halfway there when it hits.
My heart. Can't be my heart.
I was cured.
Bad cough. Blood in it.
Doesn't matter now.
I don't have to stay alive that much longer
Rotten way to kill a man
Hate yourself later.
You're onIy making this worse
Do you think I'm tired? Is that it? Do you think I'm getting tired?
You're the one who's gonna crack!
You'll crack! You'll cry and beg!
You'll scream!
Oh
You'll scream!
You're thinking the whip was the worst I could do?
That was forepIay.
Hartigan was right about you.
You can't get it up unIess I scream.
You're pathetic!
You're pathetic.
It's not wise at all to make fun of me Iike that.
It brings out the worst in me.
Stupid old man!
In too much of a hurry.
Damn! It can't be!
Charging in like Galahad
Stupid old man!
- You tagged him good! - Perforate the fooI.
Good advice.
Give it up
- It's over. Let her go. - You're dreaming
I see your eyes whiIe I fillet the woman of your dreams in front of you!
Look at you! You're about to keeI over!
You can't even Iift that cannon!
Sure
You gave me a scare there for a second there
Nancy
I'm taking no chances with you.
First I soften you up
Here it comes.
- It's gonna hurt. - You're right about that.
Sucker.
I take away his weapon.
Both of them.
Eight Iong years
After a while
into the floorboards
So Iong
Been a pIeasure.
I didn't scream
- I didn't scream. - I know it
You grew up strong.
By the time I get her to the car
Her skin is warm again. She's herself again.
Thanks for remembering my coat.
And for all the little things.
Like saving my Iife
- You better get rolling. - You're not coming aIong?
No. I have friends on their way
I'm gonna bIow this whoIe sick mess wide open.
I'm gonna cIear my name.
I'm gonna put Senator Roark behind bars where he beIongs.
I can't Iose you
You'll never Iose me
Nancy Callahan
Shame to lie to her. I hope she forgives me for it.
Get Senator Roark behind bars? Sure.
Maybe after I've pulled off that miracle
There isn't a prosecutor in the state who'll go after Senator Roark.
I killed his only son.
The bloodline is cut.
Roark's lost his goddamn legacy.
He'll use all his power to get revenge on me.
He'll go after me through Nancy. He'll find her again.
There'll be no end to it.
She'll never be safe.
Not as long as I'm alive.
There's only one way to beat him.
An old man dies
a young woman lives.
Fair trade.
I love you
She shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree.
I let her hear my footsteps.
She only goes stiff for a moment.
Care for a smoke?
Sure. I'll take one.
Are you as bored by that crowd as I am?
I didn't come here for the party. I came here for you.
I've watched you for days.
You're everything a man couId ever want.
It's not just your face
your figure or your voice.
It's your eyes.
All the things I see in your eyes.
What is it you see in my eyes?
I see a crazy caIm.
You're sick of running.
You're ready to face what you have to face.
But you don't want to face it aIone.
No.
I don't want to face it aIone.
The wind rises electric.
She's soft and warm and almost weightless.
Her perfume a sweet promise that brings tears to my eyes.
I tell her that everything will be all right.
That I'll save her from whatever she's scared of and take her far
I tell her I love her.
The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot.
I hold her close until she's gone.
I'll never know what she was running from.
I'll cash her check in the morning.
Yes.
Oh
It's not the city. I couId've gotten in a traffic accident anywhere.
Yeah
It shouId be right as rain in no time.
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
Turn the right corner in Sin City
and you can find... anything.
Becky.
Care for a smoke?
Love you
Anything.
The night is hot as hell.
It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town.
I'm staring at a goddess.
She's telling me she wants me.
I'm not gonna waste one more second wondering how I've gotten so lucky.
I want you.
She smells like angels ought to smell.
The perfect woman.
The goddess.
I need you.
Goldie.
She says her name is Goldie.
Three hours later and my head is feeling several sizes too big.
And that cold thing happens to my stomach.
And I realize Goldie's dead. Not a mark on her.
You'd have to check her pulse or notice those perfect breasts of hers
aren't moving like if she was breathing.
She was murdered and I was right here when it happened.
Lying next to her
Damn it
Who were you besides an angel of mercy
giving a two-time loser like me the night of his life?
It sure as hell wasn't my looks.
So why the sleazy saloon?
Why the kindness
The cops
but me and the killer could know there's been a murder.
Somebody paid good money for this frame.
No reason at all to play it quiet.
No reason to play it any way but my way.
Whoever killed you is gonna pay
Open up
I'll be right out.
I don't know why you died
I don't know why and I don't know how I never even met you before tonight
but you were a friend and more when I needed one.
And when I find out who did it
it won't be quick and quiet like it was with you.
It'll be loud and nasty
And when his eyes go dead
will seem like heaven after what I've done to him.
I love you
CIaire?
Now
- You got any beers around this pIace? - No way I'm giving you any aIcohoI.
Besides
No.
Go ahead. You're worse without 'em.
Thanks. You're the best.
Lucille's my parole officer.
She's a dyke
With that body of hers she could have any man she wants.
The pills come from a girlfriend who's a shrink.
She tried to analyze me once but she got too scared.
Haven't seen you Iike this in a whiIe.
- Got in a fight with some cops. - Didn't happen to kill any of them?
Not that I know. But they know they've been in a fight
How do you suppose I'm gonna square this with the board?
There ain't no squaring it. Not this time. This isn't some barroom brawI.
Or some creep with a gas can trying to torch someone.
Hey
- SettIe down
This is bIood for bIood
This is the oId days and the bad days
They're back. There's no choices Ieft.
And I'm ready for war.
Prison was hell for you. It's gonna be Iife this time.
Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here.
But I'm out now.
It took somebody who was kind to me getting killed to do it.
But I'm out. I know exactIy what I gotta do.
Now
But I'll have to sneak past Mom
and her ears have gotten a whole lot better since she went blind.
Mom still hasn't changed a thing in this room.
Every week she dusts it all off so it looks like it was only yesterday
that I moved out.
Every time I come visit
and the old smells make me cry like they do right now.
I knew Gladys would be safe here.
I call her Gladys after one of the sisters from school.
She's almost lived up to the name.
For a while we just get the feel of each other back.
Good as ever.
I tell her about Goldie and what we have to do.
Marvin? Is that you
Yes
I couIdn't sIeep for the worry. There were men here Iooking for you.
They weren't poIice.
It was about my job. I got a new job.
- It's night work. - What did you do to your face?
Oh
You're getting confused again
Mom
You were scared
Somebody wanted you dead and you knew it.
So you hit the saloons
looking for the biggest
I'm gonna find that son of a bitch that killed you
and I'm gonna give him the hard goodbye.
Walk down the right back alley in Sin City...
- Leave your hands off Nancy. - ...and you could find anything.
That coat Iooks Iike Baghdad.
So does your face. Take off!
He's new here
Kadie's is my kind ofjoint.
Nancy's just getting started with her gig
but already the crowd's breathing hard.
Plenty of nights I've drooled over Nancy
shoulder to shoulder with all the other losers like me.
But that's not what I'm lookin' for tonight.
I'm looking for something small and hairy.
Take it easy
It's money in your pocket.
Spread the word. Tell him I've been hitting the joints drunk off my butt
shooting my mouth off
What'll it be
A shot and a brew
Sure
Most people think Marv is crazy.
He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century.
He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield
swinging an ax into somebody's face.
Or in a Roman arena taking a sword to other gladiators like him.
They'd have tossed him girls like Nancy back then.
Show's over
That's one fine-Iooking coat you're wearing there.
Your killin' days are over
I love hit men. No matter what you do to them
- Take it off. - What?
A fine coat
All right
It wasn't you Iosers who killed GoIdie.
The guy who did that
So tell me
I don't hear you giving me any names.
So I guess when I shot you in the belly I aimed a IittIe too high.
You keep hoIding out on me
It was Telly... Telly Stern passed me the order.
He runs the tabIes over to the TripIe Ace CIub.
Thanks again.
Then the damnedest thing happens.
For a second
Just need my medicine
Bastard.
You're gonna pay for what you did to me.
FeeI Iike taIking
How many got paid off for the frame
How many for the kill?
It was Connelly. He set me up.
He'll never taIk.
I don't know about you
Connelly talks. They all talk.
What have been your sins
Padre
so I'll just fill you in on the Iatest batch.
These here hands of mine
You're speaking figurativeIy.
When I need to find something out
that knows more than me
Sometimes
By way of a "for instance
Tortured 'em first.
You might say I been working my way up the food chain.
First two were minnows
But it was Connelly
Dear Lord
Just give me a damn name.
- Roark. - You really are pushing your Iuck
feeding me garbage Iike that. It can't be that big.
There's a farm at North Cross and Lennox.
It's all there. Find out for yourseIf.
And while you're at it
ask yourseIf if that corpse of a sIut is worth dying for.
Worth dying for.
Worth killing for.
Worth going to hell for.
Amen.
His keys say the padre drove a Mercedes
or at least that's what they're passing off as a Mercedes these days.
Modern cars: they all look like electric shavers.
GoIdie.
GoIdie!
It couIdn't be GoIdie.
It's my own fault
I've been having so much fun I forgot to take my medicine.
That wasn't Goldie back there.
Goldie's dead
and that's the whole reason that I've been doing what I've been doing.
When you got a condition
The cold thing
it creeps into my gut and tells me one more time it won't let go.
This is a bad place
People have died here...
...the wrong way.
I don't want to fight
I got no gripe with you.
Easy
No way I was gonna use my gun on you
It's whoever owns you I'm curious about
because there's blood on your breath
So I sniff around to see what's buried.
Here we go.
It's impossible. Nobody can sneak up on me.
I go blind. Not a sound. Nobody's that quiet.
Except the one who snuck into that hotel room two nights ago.
It was you
You killed GoIdie.
It was...
I blew it
I found your killer
Too quiet
A killer born.
Why didn't he finish the job?
He keeps the heads. He eats the rest.
- Lucille? - It's not just that woIf of his.
The woIfjust gets scraps.
Bones.
It's him.
He... eats... peopIe.
- He cooks them Iike they were steaks. - Let's get you warm.
Just Iike they were steaks.
Now he's got both of us.
It's all right. Take a nice
Just Iook at the heads on the wall.
The heads on the wall.
Son of a bitch! He kept smiIing that damned smiIe.
He made me watch him suck the meat off my fingers.
- He made me watch! - Oh
He made me watch!
Christ
Dames. Sometimes all they gotta do is let it out.
And a few buckets later
You've brought us some big troubIe this time
Whoever's behind this whoIe thing has his connections right in the department.
Any leads?
One guy I taIked to toId me it was Roark running the show.
Whoever it is
- What hooker? - The one you've been obsessing over.
The dead one.
GoIdie.
I didn't know she was a hooker.
Doesn't make any difference about anything.
- But I didn't know that. - She was high-cIass stuff.
Must have shown you quite a time.
Quiet. There's a car coming.
Kevin!
All I've got is a face... and a name.
I'll see you Iater
Let's go.
They're done checking the house.
They're coming this way.
Bastards. I'll show them.
You're not gonna get either of us killed
No
Listen to me. I'm his paroIe officer.
He's unconscious and unarmed
so there's no need to kill him.
Captain
Here's a sign!
That there is one damn fine coat you're wearing.
I keep coming back to that cop I just killed and what he told me.
I was pretty steamed about what he'd done to Lucille
so I took my time with that son of a bitch.
It wasn't till I showed him all those pieces of himself that he said it.
Just a name: Patrick Henry Roark
Could've become president
Along the way
He's brought down mayors and governors like they were nothing.
He even made his rotten brother a US senator without breaking a sweat.
And here he's gonna get killed in the name of a dead hooker.
I'm getting used to the idea. More and more
Then it hits me like a kick in the nuts.
What if I'm wrong?
I've got a condition. I get confused sometimes.
And with Lucille dead
What if I've imagined all of this?
What if I've turned into what they've always said I was gonna turn into?
A maniac.
A psycho killer.
Can't kill a man without knowing for sure you ought to.
I've gotta know for sure.
The merchandise is on display by the time I make my way to Old Town.
For an hour or so
I don't get any answers
Lucille said Goldie was a hooker
and if she was
Friends
You can't be GoIdie. GoIdie's dead.
GoIdie. Yeah
I haven't eaten anything or taken my medicine for days now.
No wonder I'm seeing things.
Bastard!
He's crazy.
Hit him again
Wait a minute. Why did she call you Wendy?
Because that's my name
GoIdie was my sister. My twin sister.
I guess she was the nice one.
GoIdie and the other six
What did you do to them?
You crazy goddamn broad.
Just take a Iook at this mug.
WouId any of you dames Iet me get cIose enough to you to kill you?
None of you wouId
And she only did because she thought I couId protect her.
And I'll bet those cops didn't do a damn thing about those other girIs
But as soon as they had me for a fall guy
But they didn't get me
So
Shoot me now
Nuts.
OK
- What the hell? - I tied those knots!
- That's my speciaIty! - You sat there and took it
when you could've taken my gun away any time you wanted to.
Well
And I probably would have had to paste you one
and I don't hurt girIs.
I need a pair of handcuffs.
What styIe do you want? I got a collection.
Just give him the ones you got with you
It was a farm boy named Kevin who killed Goldie
but it was CardinaI Roark who was behind it
I know that sounds crazy.
No
Just like that
I'm too dumb to put the whole picture together yet
but she fires up two cigarettes and hands me one
and I taste her lipstick on it.
And suddenly
I want to reach over and touch her and taste Goldie's sweat one more time.
But she isn't Goldie.
Yeah
I'm gonna be needing a dozen two-foot Iengths of this rubber tubing...
...and a spooI of razor wire...
...and a pair of those speciaI gIoves that'll Iet me handIe the wire.
Beefing up the oId home security
You bet your ass.
She was my sister
Why are you willing to go up against Roark for someone you bareIy knew?
She was nice to me
I wasn't never even abIe to buy a woman.
You know
I take my mind off her and I crawl back inside myself.
It's almost killing time
I check the list: rubber tubing
gloves
Gladys and my mitts.
- We're cIose enough. Pull over. - Yes
Keep the engine runnin'.
If I'm not back in 20 minutes
Kill him for me
Kill him good.
I won't Iet you down
Heading downstairs to the kitchen.
Getting himself a midnight snack
Come on
Damn
Is that the best you can do
That's right. Get personal
I got you
I try to slow my heart down and breathe the fire out of my lungs.
My muscles make me a thousand promises of pain to come.
Let me do it
You wasn't supposed to come down here
Oh
I'm sorry
and I don't want you watching the rest. It'll give you nightmares.
God
And it's not that fight of ours that did me in
It's all that sawing and tying.
It's not as easy as it Iooks.
CouId have been a reaI mess around here
if I didn't have that tubing for tourniquets.
I gotta admit
to get the scent in the air
Well
Look who's here.
Here he comes.
That's a good dog.
He doesn't scream
and Kevin's guts are lying all over the place.
Somehow the bastard is still alive
Not even when I grab the saw and finish the job.
He never screams.
I put in a call to Kadie's and ask Nancy to get her clothes on
and meet me at her place. She says
Hey
Sure
There isn't much of anything Nancy wouldn't do for me.
Not since a year back when a frat boy roughed her up
and I straightened him out but good.
It really gets my goat when guys rough up dames.
What do you want me to do with her?
Well
What about you? Are you leaving town?
Hell
I hot-wire a parked cab and stay under the speed limit
so as not to get any attention.
My head starts to clear. Things start to make sense.
I owe you
I owe you one and I'm gonna pay up.
So
hell
Quiet as a grave out here. No sign of target.
Keep a lookout.
- Kevin? - What's Ieft of him
The dog ate the rest.
Oh
You demon.
Don't scream or I'll pIug you.
He had the voice of an angeI
And he's dead now because of one stupid whore.
It's not a reaI good idea for you to taIk about GoIdie
that way whiIe I'm around.
When he came to me...
...he was a tormented boy.
Tormented by guiIt.
I tried to counseI him.
But the eating
TearfuI
What the hell do you know?
I know it's pretty damn weird to eat peopIe.
He didn't just eat their bodies
And I joined in.
They were all whores.
Nobody cared for them. Nobody missed them.
And then your... Goldie aImost ruined everything.
She stayed in public places.
And then with you.
You were so convenient.
You'd broke a man's jaw that very night.
Who wouId beIieve a thug Iike you?
Kevin killed her.
I ordered the police in for you
You wouldn't stop.
And now he's dead and you're here to...
...eIiminate me.
Will that give you satisfaction
Killing a heIpIess oId fart?
The killing
No satisfaction.
Everything up untiI the killing will be a gas.
Kevin...
...we're going home.
You can scream now if you want to.
It's beautiful
And when his eyes go dead
must seem like heaven after what I've done to him.
- Freeze! - Oh
Jerks.
They should've shot me in the head
It's so stupid.
Everybody knows what's coming
What a waste of time.
Months fall off the calendar while I breathe and eat through tubes.
Night after night
After a while
I'm on my feet for ten minutes
before the cops kick them out from under me.
They don't ask me any questions.
They just keep knocking the crap out of me and waving a confession in my face.
And I keep spitting blood all over it
and laughing at how many fresh copies they come up with.
Then along comes this worm assistant district attorney
who turns the recorder off and says if I don't sign their confession
they'll kill my mom.
I break his arm in three places and I sign it.
From then on
They nail me for the works
but even Lucille and the girls that Roark and Kevin ate
and even Goldie.
The judge is all fire and brimstone when she hands down the sentence.
Midnight and my death are only a few hours away
when I get my first surprise in 18 months.
My only visitor.
I'm ready for anything but that scent.
I got 'em for you good
Oh
I... I got confused again.
Just seeing you Iike this.
You can call me GoIdie.
She smells like angels ought to smell.
The perfect woman.
The goddess.
Goldie.
She says her name is Goldie.
They fix me a pretty decent steak for my last meal.
They even throw in a brew. It's the first I've had since back at Nancy's.
Then they shave my head and fix me with a rubber diaper and get to it.
And it's about damned time
"Though I waIk through the valley of the shadow..."
WouId you get a move on? I haven't got all night.
You heard the man. Hit it.
Is that the best you can do
He's gone.
Forget it
There is no way in hell I'm Ietting you in.
I can't beIieve you're doing this to me
Everything we've shared... It has to mean something to you.
It meant pIenty. PIenty of Iost pay on account of how nobody wants
to fIirt with a waitress whose face is all purpIe and swollen up with bruises.
I know you're angry
I forgive you for that without you asking me to.
There's a difference between getting honked off at a guy who's not so bad
and finding out that you've been sweet-taIked by a totaI jerk Ioser
who skips out on a wife he doesn't even tell you about
every time he gets drunk
Especially the kind of totaI jerk Ioser
who has to beat up on a girl to make himseIf feeI Iike a man.
That hurt
It's one thing for you to pIay hard to get
but don't go trying to cut my nuts off.
I am impossibIe to get.
Do yourseIf a favor
Iike... a shrink.
Get heIp and get Iost.
Open the door.
Go ahead and open the door
Just open the door and you'll see how wrong you've been about me.
ObIige him
No! If he knew that you were here with me
- you don't know how bad this couId get! - This cIown's got a big
He's got four friends out there in the hall
breathing hard and just as drunk as he is.
Hey
Somebody! Jackie Boy
- I'm no racist. - I mean
haIf the bench of the Basin City BIues keeping me company.
You feeI Iike taking them on?
You are teasing me
Some of my best friends...
But you're really pushing my buttons.
And the whole time you've been doing me Iike this
I've been too poIite to point out that any time I want to
I couId kick this damn door to spIinters.
OK
- You know what I can do. One
All right. All right
Troops
You brought your whoIe pack with you?
None of these bozos got Iives
You're gonna Iove this
Call up some of your friends who work the saloon.
With you and the bunch of us
- and it's gonna be great. - I ain't calling up nobody.
That's a man's shirt
You got somebody's Iove stink all over you.
You've been with another man and you've been with him tonight.
- Who is he? - He's Superman.
He fIew out the window just as soon as he heard you were coming
'cause you scared him so bad.
You think I have no feeIings at all.
If you're gonna sIug me
just go ahead and get it over with
There you go
right in front of my friends.
I have never hit a woman in my Iife.
That's showing her
You goddamn bastard. You goddamn coward.
- Baby
I gotta take a Ieak.
Wish you'd dropped by earIier
Then you couId've met my boyfriend.
CouId've seen what a real man looks like.
There you go
But I forgive you.
I'm a generous guy.
He is generous. But that temper of his...
You never shouId have picked on him Iike you did.
My temper you don't have to worry about.
Shut up and keep your hands to yourseIf or I'll cut your IittIe pecker off.
I've been toId.
Oh
It's a jungIe out there. You got a coupIe phone calls you ought to make.
Hey
Answer me!
Oh
Hi. I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind.
You ever so much as taIk to Shellie again
and I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useIess to a woman.
You're making a big mistake
Yeah? You aIready made a big mistake yourseIf.
You didn't fIush.
Troops
No questions
Dwight
I just gave him a taste of his own medicine.
I don't think he'll be bothering you again.
- How's your jaw? - I've been sIapped around worse.
Dwight
before you showed up again with that new face of yours.
And it was only 'cause I feIt sorry for him.
And it was only once.
I've done some dumb things.
Seeing how I'm one of those dumb things
I can't give you too hard a time about that.
But this guy
He might kill somebody if I don't stop him.
- I'll call you Iater. - No
Shellie shouts something I can't make out
over the racket of a passing police 'copter.
- Stop! - It sounds like "stop
but I can't be sure. It's a chance I shouldn't be taking
but I can't go home and forget about it
and let Jackie Boy and his pals find their fun.
They're a pack of predators and they're out for blood tonight: a woman's blood.
Damn it
You fooI.
You damned fooI.
I cut my Caddy across the park
to pick up Jackie Boy heading like a bat outta hell up the hill.
I'm speeding. That's a good way to get yourself noticed.
If you're a murderer with a new face who's one fingerprint check away
from the fast track to the gas chamber like I am
the last thing you want is to get noticed.
I don't have nearly enough cash on me to bribe this cop
there's the outside chance he's one of the honest ones.
Do I try to talk my way out of this
Then Jackie Boy saves me a great
Watch it
Cops! They're right on our ass!
Not for Iong. Not where we're headed.
My gut tightens up.
Jackie Boy's leading us straight to Old Town.
The cop shuts off his siren.
He knows he's not the law
The ladies are the law here
If you've got cash and play by the rules
they'll make all your dreams come true. But if you cross 'em
you're a corpse.
- Squad car's Iong gone. - I called it. Was I right?
You're aIways right
But I heard things about these girIs.
Things they'd done to guys who got out of line.
Who's out of Iine? Ha!
Hey
Hop in
Aw
Besides
Get in the car
I don't do taIk jobs
Baby doll
I've been beat up every time I turn around.
But the day I get turned down by a hooker
when I got good
well
Go try the AIamo over on Dillon Street.
That's the AIamo
The Amigo's a fag joint.
Are you having a good time humiIiating me Iike this
for no damn reason at all?
That's far enough
since they showed up with that cop behind them.
Everything's under controI.
Enjoy the show.
There's no use arguing with her.
The ladies are their own enforcers.
How's the barmaid? You know
- Not right now
Wound up a IittIe tight
That's your whoIe probIem
That
Damn it
Those cIowns down the way
One of them thinks he is.
He's outta controI.
I followed them here to make sure he didn't hurt any of the girIs.
Us heIpIess IittIe girIs.
All kinds of death is about to hit less than 20 yards ahead of us
and still it's hard to take my eyes off her.
Us girIs are safe as we can be
Those boys in that ChrysIer are one mistake away
from seeing what Miho can do.
And she's been aching for some practice.
She guides my glance upwards to the pixie perched on the roof's edge.
- Deadly little Miho. - You're running out of alley.
Turn around. Save yourseIf and your buddies a ton of grief.
You're a sassy IittIe thing.
You ain't hardIy in any kind of position to be making threats.
The trap is set
So what? They're scum. They deserve what's coming.
So why this rotten feeling in my gut that something is awfully wrong?
They haven't killed anybody I know about.
It got pretty bad at Shellie's pIace
And they won't.
Why this rotten feeling?
Something Shellie said. I can't place it.
OK
- I'm a IittIe on edge. - Over the edge.
It's not a woman you need. It's a good night's sIeep.
You couIdn't handIe a woman
She's saying you ain't got what it takes
You wanna see it?
You wanna see what I got? Huh?
I've seen all shapes
You seen this one?
Get in the car.
Oh
This is crazy!
Out of nowhere
Go ahead.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
- He's got the drop on her. - He's got squat.
He's dead. He's just too damn dumb to know it.
I got you right where I want you.
This is a career-ending wound
- And there's gonna be hell to pay. - Watch your step
Yeesh.
This isn't funny.
Don't anyone Iaugh. I got friends you can't imagine.
Every one of you is gonna burn.
She's just pIaying with you.
- You're onIy making it worse. - You shut the hell up.
Don't pull the trigger. She bIocked the barreI. It'll backfire.
I toId you to shut up.
I can't see.
What's happening?
I can't see.
I can't hear anything.
For God's sake
Yeah. Make it quick
She doesn't quite chop his head off.
She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.
Then it's straight to business:
Stretching corpses out on the floor and going through their pockets
divvying up cash when they find it. I'm fishing around in Jackie Boy's pants.
His wallet is packed.
MasterCard
and nearly 300 bucks worth of twenties
that I'm not too proud to stuff into my own pockets.
Then I find an atom bomb.
Jackie Boy
you son of a bitch.
There was a helicopter that kicked up such a racket
I couldn't quite make out what she said.
I thought Shellie said "stop."
She said "cop."
Detective Lieutenant Jack Rafferty.
Iron Jack
A goddamn hero cop.
It's held for years
and free entertainment when they throw a party.
The girls administer their own brand ofjustice.
They get to defend their own turf. If a cop blunders into the neighborhood
and he's not shopping for what the girls are selling
but they send him back alive.
That's the rules.
That's the truce.
The cops stay out.
That keeps the girls free to keep the pimps and the mob out.
Old Town will be left wide open.
It'll be war.
The streets will run red with blood.
Women's blood.
The cops! The mob! Things are gonna go back to the way they used to be!
The hell they will! We got guns.
We'll fight the cops and the mob
and anybody eIse who tries to move in on us.
- We'll go to war. - Don't be stupid.
You wouIdn't stand a chance. Get me a car.
Make sure it's a hardtop with a decent engine.
I'll hide the bodies.
Did you forget that cop car that traiIed them here?
The cops know Rafferty came here.
They'll check the river
They'll find him and come gunning for us.
I'll hauI the bodies to the pits. The cops won't check.
Get that out of my face or I'll smack ya.
Who do you think you are
- You got what you wanted out of us. - Shut up
You got what you wanted out of me!
And you were gone
Gone untiI you brought this unhoIy mess on us.
Miho moves to my back.
One word from Gail and she'll cut me in half.
They'll be watching the roads. They'll catch you.
It'll be the bad oId days all over again.
The pimps
They won't be watching the roads. Not yet
If I don't make it
- Get that gun out of my face now! - Ah!
Bastard!
I forgot how quick you are.
My warrior woman.
She almost yanks my head clean off
shoving my mouth into hers so hard it hurts.
An explosion that blasts away the dull
between the now and that one fiery night when she was mine.
A hardtop with a decent engine.
And make sure it's got a big trunk.
I'll aIways Iove you
Always... and never.
Where'd you find that heap?
Just Iook at that trunk. We'll never fit 'em all in.
GaiI? Um
you think maybe I couId go home?
All this blood and stuff's got me feeIing Iike maybe I'm gonna hurI.
Sure
But don't you taIk to anybody
They'll never fit in that trunk.
Not Iike this
Dry your hair as soon as you get home! You'll catch coId if you don't.
Yeesh.
Hey
I just want to hear my mom's voice. I won't tell her nothing.
PIease
Hey
Dizzy dames. What were they thinking
sticking me with a beat-up bucket of bolts like this?
We were barely able to get the trunk closed as it was
we packed it so tight.
There wasn't anything we could do but pile Jackie Boy in right next to me
out where anybody who cares to look will see him.
Go ahead
It'll help.
It's got you smoking there
You shut the hell up
You're dead.
I'm just imagining this
Well
It's got you hearing things. It's got your nerves shot.
It's got you smoking.
You know it's true.
Nobody ever really quits.
A smoker's a smoker when the chips are down.
- And your chips are down. - I'm fine. You shut the hell up.
Will you Iook at that?
Ooh! Those hookers Iet you down.
What are you gonna do when you run outta gas
You sucker for the babes
You ain't even gonna make it to the pits.
You shut the hell up. I'll make it.
Not unIess you keep your eyes on the road
Watch it!
Ah
Just Iike being in a buddy movie.
Shut up!
Boy
Stick a fork in it.
You're swirIing around the bottom of the bowI
nose-diving down the pipe.
It's over.
You're fIushed.
I can't bring myseIf to tell him to shut up.
Sure
None of that stops the bastard from being absoIuteIy right.
I don't have a chance in hell of outrunning this cop.
Not in this heap.
Pull over!
The onIy question Ieft is whether I'm gonna kill him or not.
Tough call.
For all I know
a working stiff with a mortgage
My hand moves all on its own
sIiding one of my guns to my Iap and thumbing back the hammer.
- I don't know what to do. - Better stop. You're making him mad.
Whatever you say.
Your friend here... party a IittIe too hard tonight?
I'm the designated driver.
Well
I'll Iet you off with a warning.
What next?
The tank goes dry a quarter mile from the pits.
I shove the T-Bird the rest of the way.
A few minutes' more work and it'll all be over.
Jackie Boy will go into the damn tar pits
I'll catch a train out of Sacred Oaks
No more questions
CIear the streets. We're in Iockdown.
We're not selling any taiI in OId Town.
Not tonight.
Don't struggIe. You'll onIy hurt yourseIf.
Your cause is Iost.
We know everything.
Soon the corpse of Detective Rafferty will be in our possession
and the truce between your prostitutes and the poIice will be shattered.
There'll be arrests. There'll be deaths.
My empIoyer will seize what remains of this neighborhood.
You will all be sIaves. Nothing can stop this.
But it is within your power to save many Iives
by faciIitating the process of transition
by negotiating the terms of the surrender of OId Town.
Son of a bitch! I know you.
I have suffered your kind before
I serve a new master now
and soon you and all your wretched kind will serve him as well.
Now
because
You don't know him.
My man will find a way.
He aIways finds a way.
I can't fathom these Americans aIways whining
and going on about how they got it so bad.
This is a fine
Guiding Iight of the modern worId
Low taxes
Where eIse wouId one bullet buy us the fortune that we're getting for this?
Beats bIowing up airports and churches
without shite to show for it.
Yeesh.
- You find something
It's all bent up.
What's this stuck in it?
BIoody hell. It's the bullet.
You son of a bitch! Bastard!
They weren't cops
They were mercenaries.
If they were hired by who I think they were
the bad times haven't even started yet.
And everything seemed to be going so well.
Remember
You got a good point there
ShouId I take a nap while I'm doing all this waiting?
I'm at the bone
There we go.
Have you ever seen anything so pretty in your whoIe Iife?
We'll be back for the three of you
use your imagination
Silence
No air to breathe.
Only the horrid
Let it in. Let it fill your lungs.
They were counting on you and you blew it.
Skinny
Miho
You're a saint.
You're Mother Teresa.
You're Elvis.
You're God.
If you'd shown up ten minutes earlier
Dwight
It's a cinch. You got yourseIves a spy in OId Town.
A stoolie who sold you out to the mob.
We gotta find out who it is and rescue GaiI.
First
before it gets to wherever it's going and this situation bIows wide open.
Miho
I let him know I'm not fooling around.
We talk.
Stay smart. Stay cool.
It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn.
Sometimes
There they are. What do we do?
We stop 'em
Jackie Boy's head is close to me
I could almost reach out and grab it right then and there.
Get the head! Get the head!
I got it! I got it!
Suck on this
I can't tell if Miho is alive or dead
but I'm on my feet and every ounce of me wants to get some killing done.
You want the head now
Brave Iad.
I couId've put a bullet straight down your ear just now
if I hadn't got me revoIver all wet and useIess.
You got the drop on me
I got to come cIean with you
It was an outright Iie I was giving ya about me revoIver being wet.
You see
It's my preference to bIow things up.
Once you bIast the roof off a pub
and seen all the parts fIying off peopIe
a IittIe bang bang's never gonna match the sight of that.
Here's me
But it's me knife I'll be doing you with.
You killed me mates.
Someone shouIda toId ya: never give an Irishman good cause for revenge.
Deadly little Miho.
You won't feel a thing unless she wants you to.
She twists the blade.
He feels it.
I tell Miho what we're gonna do and how we're gonna do it.
I grab poor Dallas's car phone and make the most important call of my life.
First
The big
Do we just gotta stand here and watch this?
What
I couId watch oId Manute do his thing all night and not get tired of it.
I mean
OnIy an artist shouId be allowed to touch such a beautifuI subject.
Your skin is perfect.
Your nerves
BeautifuI.
Just give them what they want
- Becky? - It's over
There's no fighting them. Dwight's dead.
They got what's Ieft of that cop we killed.
Mob's gonna turn it over to the chief
We gotta cut a deaI.
You IittIe bitch! You soId us out!
I didn't have no choice! They was gonna hurt my mom.
You gotta cut a deaI with these peopIe. It's seIfish
You'll get a Iot of girIs killed for no good reason.
It wasn't your mom!
We couId have protected her and you know it.
It was the money
Sure
and Iet her know that her daughter's a goddamn whore.
Breaks your heart
They offered me what you couIdn't never offer me: a way out.
I had to watch out for my own neck.
Your neck.
Your precious
You're crazy! You couId have ripped my throat out
Schutz
- Stuka
Stupid IittIe bitch! You deserve worse!
I knew there was a reason I got out of bed this morning.
Hey.
Nobody. I don't see nobody.
Will you Iook at that? It's right through me. Guys
There's something wrapped around it.
- Some kind of note. - Give it to me.
It's poked right through me. Guys
- It's starting to hurt. - Out back. Everyone. Bring the women.
Do you think somebody shouId call me a doctor or something?
McCarthy
Hey.
Guys?
Oh...
Dozens of them
I'm outnumbered
But the alley is crooked
They can't surround me.
Sometimes
You can have OId Town
Just give me the woman.
Shut up.
Dwight
- Wait a minute. Something's not right. - Shut up
Of course
Now
Dwight
ExactIy what I had to.
Every step of the way.
No! It isn't right! There wasn't no tape over his mouth!
How come there's tape over his mouth?
Where to fight counts for a lot.
Cute trick
But there's nothing like having your friends show up with lots of guns.
No! McCarthy
The girls all know the score.
No escape
no surrender
We gotta kill every last rat bastard one of 'em.
Every last one.
Not for revenge
not because it'll make the world a better place.
We need a heap of bloody bodies
so when mob boss Wallenquist looks over his charts of profits and losses
he'll see what it cost him to mess with the girls of Old Town.
They run out back.
Right on schedule.
Deadly
She gets her practice in.
The Valkyrie at my side is shouting and laughing
with the pure
and so am I.
The fire
There's no place in this world for our kind of fire
my warrior woman
You'll always be mine.
Always... and never.
