Alone.

That's not what I mean.

How do you live...

...with yourself?

How do you?

Hey, you!

I'm talking to you.

You think you know me?

I asked you a question.

Do you think you know me?

'Cause the way you're looking at me,

we must be old friends.

Where did we meet?

Nowhere.

Nowhere.

You like the b*tch?

Maybe you like me.

I don't like you.

Then don't stare so hard.

Somebody could...

...put something in your eye.

F***ing pervert.

Let's move it.

Good night.

Adrian.

Your purse.

Are you listening?

The first rule:

Don't go near them again.

Second rule:

Don't contact me.

I'll contact you.

Maybe I can help you.

Let me see...

They're my problem now and I'm theirs.

Are you close enough to walk over?

Rule three:

If this is a setup...

...I...

...will kill you.

Now what?

That cop was a regular.

Juanita's moving in on me.

Get out of here!

I don't solve domestic problems!

A**hole!

Don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back.

Lucky me.

Hey, Charlie!

J & B.

The word is, Manny...

...you're skimming.

Somebody's lying.

I never took a dollar.

I hope it ain't you.

Because if you're trying

to screw Joe Len...

You know me, what, ten years?

I'm clean.

Good.

Very good.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

Let me see the books.

That is it.

- How about a drink?

- Sure.

September's missing.

See you, Manny.

What do you feel like doing?

What?

I'm working.

You have two hours!

Get another job, kid.

They got two bodies in there.

Something that used to be Charlie...

...and a hit on your brothel manager.

That was a bright move.

Something you ordered?

Didn't bother to tell me?

He was a thief.

- Tell me about the bomb.

- Very clean.

There was no damage

left or right of the blast.

The arming device was impacted

inside the C-4, so it was vaporized.

Brilliant plan, totally professional.

Must be a specialist.

- This guy is good.

- Yeah, okay.

He could put a bomb in your crab shell

and you wouldn't even know it.

I'll kill him!

You can't kill anyone

until we know who he is, can you?

I'll find him.

The important thing to find out

is who he works for.

Maybe he's with the CIA.

Maybe he works for the Mafia.

But we have to find out who.

Overview.

What does eliminating Charlie mean

in the overall picture?

- Nothing.

- Less than nothing.

So this target wasn't territorial.

It was personal.

How the f*** do you know so much?

He's guessing. Let me take

a few boys, I'll find this bastard.

Wait a minute. Give me a second.

I have to make a decision.

Little time to think here, huh?

You take over, okay?

I said, Trent will handle it, okay?

I don't hear you saying, "Okay."

- What did you say?

- Okay.

That's nice. Thank you.
