2 Days in the Valley Page #3

the way it turned out.

Why did you change your mind?

I thought the idea of the affair was

to lure him to the desert to kill him.

But I know why you did it

at Becky's house.

Why?

You got jealous.

You let it get to you personally.

You've never done that before.

I guess I must really

be in love with you.

You got any rapini?

What is that?

An Italian vegetable,

like broccoli.

He doesn't have any.

I do the shopping.

Keep it in the house.

It's good for you.

It's got a ton of vitamins

and minerals. Prevents cancer.

I eat it on a daily basis.

What are your pants

stained with?

Oh, yeah.

I gotta borrow

a change of clothes.

Why was that car

you were in blown up?

Why does that man

want to kill you?

What were you two

involved in?

You think I'm gonna tell you?

He doesn't know. You don't know

why that man tried to kill you, do you?

You're a pretty smart cookie,

aren't you?

Anybody in your family connected?

No, I'm not from New York.

I grew up in Reseda.

We got people out here.

We got people everywhere.

You guys are hungry, right?

Well, I could eat.

Well, sit down.

It's almost ready.

Don't do that!

You sit in the chair.

He's sitting on the floor.

He's a rude little sh*t,

and that's his punishment.

I heard the comment you made before

while I was by the pool.

If you weren't injured,

you'd catch a beating.

And don't listen to that plastic surgery

bullshit. You're very attractive.

Don't change a thing.

You don't think

I need a nose job?

F*** no,

you don't need a nose job!

Good, because she already had one.

- Please!

- Oh, sh*t!

Sit down on the floor.

By your window.

By your dog!

He doesn't mean anything by it. He's

naturally cruel. Don't take offense.

While I'm here, you don't make no more

apologies for him. New rule, okay?

Okay.

As a matter of fact, you don't make

no apologies for nobody in your life...

including yourself.

You mind serving?

My God!

Remember, you gotta have her

on tape propositioning you.

Keep that earring toward her.

You gotta negotiate a price.

Be specific.

How much for a hand job,

blow job.

If you don't get it on tape,

the DA won't prosecute.

This goddamn f***ing

air conditioner!

Hottest day in the f***ing Valley

and it breaks!

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You don't look like

you're into this.

I'm supposed to be excited

about busting a massage parlor?

You really think closing this place

down is gonna have a major impact...

on your precious Valley?

These people spread disease.

Oh, geez. Why am I justifying

your job to you?

What the hell did you think you were

gonna do when you transferred to Vice?

Wanna know what I think?

I was in that massage parlor,

and I liked that girl. Yeah.

Sweet kid. Woman who runs

the place...

probably gave her a ticket, brought

her over, working to pay her debt...

She is a dick-head. We should bust her.

Absolutely, but not this kid.

She's just...

a victim of circumstance.

You're a f***ing bleeding-heart liberal.

No, I'm not. I'm just fed up.

I joined the force

to get into Homicide...

to bust people who commit murder.

I want to be a detective,

but I can't seem to make it happen.

I can't get promoted into Homicide,

so I transfer around...

from Robbery to Bunko

to Forgery to Vice.

I spent ten years

banging around.

I'm not doing

what I want to do.

You ain't going in there.

You ain't gonna make this bust happen.

You're gonna f*** it up.

You're right.

I'm not going in there.

24-10...

this is AC-6.

We got a problem.

- We are not going forward.

- Help, help.

He's dead.

Somebody killed him.

Do you have a car phone?

I need to call the police.

Lady, we are the police.

Bogey...

come here.

Shut up.

Shut up!

Somebody will find you

and take you.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

You're a good boy.

You're the best boy.

You'll have a nice house

and everything.

Give papa a kiss.

Hi, Jaime.

How you doing?

Shh.

I'll miss you...

like always.

Bogey, come on.

Excuse me? Miss?

I was wondering if perhaps

you might want a dog?

I have to move, and they don't

allow pets where I'm going.

Then don't move.

It's more complicated than that.

I have to leave the country.

Oh, boy, it's hot today,

isn't it?

I just came here from the Valley.

It's hell over there.

The reason I stopped you, you being

a nurse, I thought, perhaps...

one of the patients

at the hospital you work at...

might be interested

in a companion.

What do you do?

I'm a writer-director.

Do you make war movies?

War movies?

You like war movies?

Yeah, they're my favorites.

No, I never made a war movie,

though there's probably a lot of...

great stories in this cemetery.

My mother was a nurse

in World War Two.

Did you lose a family member

to war?

I lost a friend.

Would I have seen something you've done?

I don't just see war movies.

Arthur's Last Hope.

It was a TV movie.

Did you see that?

No, I didn't,

but I think I heard of it.

What else have you done?

Something called Lights Out.

Lights Out? You did that?

- You saw it?

- Yes, I did.

It was very funny.

I was the only one laughing, but yeah.

Were you the only one

in the theater?

I still liked it. Especially

the part with the elephant.

That was so unexpected.

I'm very impressed.

- Ah, what's his name?

- Bogey.

I know it's trite.

No, no, Humphrey Bogart made

two great war movies.

- Across the Pacific and...

- Tokyo Joe.

All right, I'll take him.

You will?

Are you sure you can't

postpone this trip?

Here, take him.

Thanks.

Take it easy.

Bye, Bogey.

- Come here!

- Huh?

I'm gonna introduce you.

Come on!

Introduce me to who?

To the fella I'm gonna

give the dog to.

That way you'll feel better.

It's my brother.

All right, okay.

Bogey, come on.

We're gonna go for a ride

with the lady.

He's got a puppy

that swims.

- What's your name?

- Teddy. Teddy Peppers.

- Audrey.

- Hi, Audrey, and thanks.

Ain't you gonna eat?

Not unless Mr. Hopper does, and he

won't eat unless he sits at the table.

What's the matter with these forks?

What kind are these?

You're the loyal type?

I'm Italian.

All right, get up.

Bring a plate.

Get up, up, up.

Sit down.

You expecting somebody?

- It's my half-sister.

- Get rid of her!

She won't leave. She's coming by

to see if I'm okay.

She's a nurse.

She's got a man with her.

He's holdin' a dog.

Another f***in' dog?

I can't go in there.

Okay. You're all right.

Just wait here.

We're gonna take a quick look inside.

What's the matter?

I'm really sore right here.

Oh, my God! Look at that!

I'm bruised!

- What is that?

- Looks like a little prick...

from an injection.

What kind of injection?

I don't know.

Miss Foxx, you're all right.

Wait here. We'll be right out.

We'll take you to the station

and have a doctor look at that.

Try and remain calm.

Breathe.

Jesus Christ!

Shot him point blank

in the head.

- Don't touch anything!

- I wasn't going to, all right?

- Let's go.

- Hold up.
