-...in which it was said.

-The spirit of bullshit?

-Any plans for the long weekend?

-The usual.

What, getting drunk on cheap whisky

and smashing your fist through a wall?

Jealous?

No, I understand.

Fourth of July and alI.

Don't worry. l'Il get somebody eIse.

-Somebody eIse for what?

-An open bond just came in.

But you know what?

Your thing sounds a lot more fun.

Don't worry about it.

I mean, l'll find somebody else.

Whoa, hold up, Heidi. I need this gig.

Come on, man, I'm in the hole.

-You're always in the hole.

-What's your point?

My point is I don't know

if you're the right person for the job.

This thing could be a disaster.

But you asked for it.

-Is this a joke?

-Nope.

She got arrested?

I don't understand it myself,

but all I know is that she skipped bail.

Well, why the hell did you post it?

Hey, I'm a businessman.

I don't have time to wait for you.

All I know is, is that l'm out 50,000...

...if she's not

in that courtroom Monday.

You're teIling me

that I'll get 5 grand...

...to go pick up my ex-wife

and bring her to jail.

You're a good listener.

-Yes. Yes.

-I take it you're interested?

-Am I interested?

-Oh, God. Okay.

-You are the best friend...

-All right. Okay.

-...any guy could ever have.

-Milo. Cheque.

Okay. Can I have my gum back?

You know what this is?

This, baby, is karma.

-Are you sure you can handle this?

-Why wouldn't l?

Because it's her, and around her

you're not rational.

Sweetheart,

I won't even break a sweat.

Oh, sh*t.

Hello, love.

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, God. Kitty?

I was in the neighbourhood...

...and I had lent her

some paintbrushes months ago.

-And she just refuses to--

-Okay, okay, okay.

She didn't show up to court today.

And I think it's because she has a lead

on some story.

And I wanna work on it with her

as a team because l....

Because I'm kind of hoping

it would help solidify...

...our thing.

Are you sleeping with her, Stewart?

-We have a history.

-A history, huh?

Yeah, well, good luck with that.

Don't be such a wuss.

Come on, l'm sorry.

Come on, kitty, kitty, kitty.

-You're not Jimmy.

-Oh, God. No, I'm not.

-But l'm looking for him.

-Under the chair?

-Maybe you could help me.

-I can't fit under there.

-No--

-Who are you?

-I'm-- I'm his girlfriend.

-You're Lakeisha?

Yeah, that would be me. Lakeisha.

Named after my Aunt Lakeisha.

-Well, maybe I shouId call the cops.

-No, no, no. Jimmy's in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Money trouble? Drug troubIe?

-I don't--

-Sex-change trouble?

I don't really know.

I just know that he's missing.

Yeah, well, l had a lousy week too.

My cousin Linda

fell off the cruise ship.

I'm so sorry.

Well, a grown woman

ought to know how to swim.

Yes, l hear you.

Now would you mind

if I just took a quick look around...

...just to see if l can find some clue

as to where he might be?

Thing is, Stew, she'll make you think

she's interested in you.

But really she's only interested

in her big hotshot career.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wait a minute. Wait, you're Milo.

You're Milo, right?

She talks about you all the time.

-Really?

-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, man, absolutely.

Yeah, she hates you.

Wait, what do you mean?

She hates me?

Oh, yeah. Big time. Yeah.

She says-- She says you're, like,

the most selfish, immature--

-Wait, l'm seIfish?

-Yeah. Stubborn.

-I'm immature?

-I don't know. That's what she says.

You know what? Forget it. Okay?

I'm not even gonna

dignify that with-- Whatever.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, look, l'm on your team, man.

No, you're not, Geraldo.

I don't allow reporters on my team.

Oh, and for the record,

I'm the one who hates her.

Okay? So just shut up

and stop pissing me off.

Okay. Sorry.

Borgata Hotel, Atlantic City.

How may I direct your call?

Figures. Run home to Mommy.

What audit?

Jimmy? You mean the bartender

from O'Doul's?

I'm really worried about him. His car

was there. His window was smashed.

There was something not right.

What was he looking into?

That suicide on Rivington

a couple of weeks ago.

Something about it

just does not add up.

-Why? What do you got?

-I was at traffic court the other day...

...and I met this guy who swears

that his car was parked at JFK...

...the night that he got a ticket

on Rivington.

-Stolen plates.

-Yeah, well, that's what I'm thinking.

Look, if I hear anything on the kid

I'll let you know, but you...

-...be careful, okay?

-Okay, great. Bobby, thanks.

More pink, Tony.

Way the hell more pink.

I wanna sparkle

with the illusion of youth.

And in a room this small,

hell, forget lighting.

We might have to use nerve gas.

Hello, Kitty.

Milo?

Milo, sweetheart.

Come and give your mother-in-law

a hug.

A long time.

That's for being a sh*t

and for ruining my daughter's life.

-Your daughter's fine.

-Well, then that's for ruining my life.

Come here.

It stiIl kills me,

you and Nicole splitting up.

What happened between you

devastated her.

-Yeah, devastated her right to the top.

-She has done well, hasn't she?

Listen, Nicky may be a strong,

independent woman on the outside...

...but on the inside, she's just a girl

wanting to be loved by her man.

I mean, come on.

Such a beautifuI couple...

...and you threw it away.

The grandchildren

would have been angeIs.

Not that l wanted grandchildren.

You prick.

I've missed you, Kitty.

I'm gonna pretend l believe you.

I'm looking for your girl.

-I know she called here.

-We were gonna grab a bite.

She blew me off

for some interview.

Said she needed to go somewhere

to suck up some luck.

Like l'm supposed to know

what that means.

-HeIlo.

-Listen, you're in trouble.

-Now, where are you?

-I'm in the city, actually.

No, you're not. No, you're not.

You're here. You're at the track.

You're here?

How did you know where l was?

Hello, Nic.

Let's just say

Stewart knows what he's doing...

...when it comes to following people.

Hi, Milo.

Fancy meeting you here.

Yeah.

Fancy. Fancy that.

How are you?

Good. You?

SweIl.

Beautiful day.

You Iook great.

As beautiful as the day we first met.

This has been grand.

I don't know what you're up to,

but I'm working.

Oh, working?

Me too.

I heard you got kicked off the force.

You been checking up on me?

-Nope.

-Concerned about me?

I haven't given you

a thought, actually.

Trying to keep some small connection

alive between us.

Are you gonna move this leg?

No.

I thought we'd be adults the first time

we saw each other after the divorce.

But why would I think that when

only one of us is actually an adult?

Like l said, I've been working.

And what l do is I hunt down criminals.

Idiots who jump bail, specificaIly.

-You are a bounty hunter?

-Yep.

And much as it pains me to say this,

and it really does...

...l gotta take you to jail.

Oh, God. All right.

Come on, who put you up to this?

-Somebody at the paper?

-No, just the old State of New York.

-Are you--? Don't you touch me.

-Shall we?

You really think
