Alright look man, I'm sorry, could you

Sarah, what's going on baby?

Before you open your mouth you're going

to be talking to sunny's killer.

- It was maldonado.

- What the f*** are you talking about.

He was afraid she was gonna talk.

Even if you don't believe me,

you've got to believe he is capable of doing it.

Now answer

go on, answer.

Sarah!

Give me a break angel,

I've been working all night

we'll be back in a while.

Want to play games?

We'll play games.

- Prick!

- F***ing c*nt!

F*** you.

Sunny was getting ready

to leave town.

She gotta a bunch of stuff out

of a safe deposit box.

Sh*t!

- It's not funny.

- I didn't say a word, come on

I've got her book.

Now in the book there's a bunch of...

Give me your shoes. Give

me your other shoe.

Come on.

In the book was this necklace.

This emerald necklace with a missing stone

and that missing stone was in angel's ring.

You don't disappear

without these, don't you.

You liked that.

- Liked what'?

- Roughing me up.

Roughing up?

You think that was roughing you up'?

Would you like to see what roughing up is?

This is kidnapping you lush

I hope you are sober enough to realise...

Hey, come on, what we've been doing

trading accusations here?

For a half assed hooker you are an extremely

arrogant woman, you know that?

What you said before about sunny being a

hopeless victim makes me wanna...

Rough me up?

- Just answer me the question.

- What question?

About maldonado and Willy.

All I know is angel has been trying

to get chance to go into business

with him for as long as I know.

What do you mean, in what way?

I don't know exactly, to use

the club, to sell drugs.

Maldonado deals in keys, here, look at this.

Recognise any of those names?

The third from the bottom, Carlos,

that's your bartender.

I got this out of sunny's book.

Do you know those guys?

Where are we going'?

Boy, this better not be some

whacked out fantasy of yours.

- Did you do both locks?

- Yeah, you get the back door?

Thanks a lot slim

we'll be out of here in half hour.

Just hold the gunfire to a minimum.

Can I have a stolli straight up, please.

Stolli straight up for the lady.

Are you scared?

What are you having?

A coke, please slim.

A coke for the big spender.

Do you think he's dangerous?

Well yeah.

I mean imminently.

Like tonight?

- You weren't kidding where you?

- What about?

That stiff drink.

Stolli for the lady

go ahead, have another.

Care to join me?

No, thanks.

Shouldn't we go to the police?

With what? Three green rocks?

If we bring all that money sunny had

to the homicide

they're gonna think she ripped off chance.

If she ripped off anybody, it was maldonado.

I don't think she did it, though.

I know it's got something to do with coke.

What I got to do is I got to get to buy

into angel.

You make a deal

then we go to homicide.

Are you listening to me?

Do you give a sh*t?

What do you want from me?

Look, I'm really f***ing nervous here,

alright?

So I'm drinking and I hate to drink alone.

I almost never do.

- What? Drink alone?

- Drink period.

Come on.

Break your diet tonight.

You have my permission.

Tender, huh?

Someone tried to throw my right nut

into the pacific ocean about an hour ago.

A little sensitive, yeah.

What a drag.

Ok, let's get serious.

I'm not drinking, sit down, will you?

Enough with this sh*t.

You made me lose my train of thought.

Christ.

What are we going to tell chance?

What would you like like to tell chance?

Jesus.

You had it cleaned and pressed.

You really liked sunny, didn't you?

Yeah I did.

So did I.

What did you like about her most?

What do you like about anybody?

Is it that she was a good f***

or do you just feel guilty?

Did you enjoy making love to her?

Oh, Christ.

I'm jealous.

Sarah, what the hell are you doing?

- I'm gonna f*** you so good.

- Sarah...

Just wait.

I bet you never had it like this.

Let's hit the bathroom.

I'm f***ed.

Yeah, that is f***ed up. Let's go.

You're not gonna feel a thing,

don't worry.

Oh, god!

Some water.

Oh, god.

Here.

God.

What happened?

Oh god... at least you stayed sober.

You are not a mindless lush, after all.

Thank you

I guess I misjudged you.

You're not just an

opportunistic prick who would

f*** mud if it move a little

and not argue too much.

But that's ok you know,

you're no different from

most men in the situation,

don't get me wrong.

Lady nobody can get you wrong.

It's real simple, you threw up on me.

I threw you in the shower.

Baby, when you barf on me...

It's like putting salt on a birds tail.

Bird don't fly

i don't f***.

House rule

i never touched you.

You are a son of a b*tch.

That's better, I'm moving up in the world

a moment ago I was an opportunistic prick.

For your information.

For your information,

you move more like

concrete than you do mud.

How do you know

how I move in bed.

Maybe I misjudged you.

It's about as likely as you thinking you

misjudged me.

How about some coffee?

I'd love some, thank you.

Hello.

Angel.

- This is Matt scudder.

- Who?

Matt scudder.

What can you do for me, Matthew?

I want to talk to you.

I want to talk to you in person, at the east gate

of la coliseum in an hour and a half.

I don't know about that, baby.

- It's regarding sunny.

- Ah, that was my favorite lady!

Well, that's what I want

to talk to you about.

- Ok, my man. Anything for sunny.

- Good, then you be there at 1:45pm.

Ok, I'm looking forward, bye.

Thanks for cleaning up.

I really needed it.

I really feel lousy.

I bet you do.

You look different

I'm not wearing any make up.

I look terrible.

No, I like the way you look.

Why do women wear all that sh*t?

They think men like that or what?

Yes, most men do

al least the men I know.

I don't.

You're a rare breed.

You consider yourself

a happy person?

I was happy when I was dancing.

But I wasn't very good at it.
