Look, if I make this

deal I'm gonna probably

get Sarah out of there

don't f*** this up man.

- You got any maalox? -No.

- Here is my last one.

- Good afternoon.

- Hey there.

Hey, look who's here...What's

going on scudder?

Hey, well I, ah...

I've got the money.

- You got the money? -Yeah.

- Interesting.

What do you think of my pad?

I just bought it.

- It's great.

- Great?

Yeah.

- It's unique.

- That's right baby, it's gaudi.

Do you know gaudi?

No.

Check him out. Here, let me

show you around. Come on.

Here is a little passage on

the truth and his work.

Just as elegance and beauty where

inseparable for gaudi.

Beauty and truth were identical for him.

Beauty was the manifestation of truth.

Without truth there could be no beauty.

Dig that?

Far east.

Far east, far out man.

See this here.

He was interested in getting everything

kind of 45 degree angle.

So the sun light -you

dig that?- When it hits

at that angle it creates

the idea of conditions

to observe nature and the elements.

See that'?

Twelve rooms baby.

See this?

Right here I am gonna build a big

f***ing gaudi palace for myself.

If you behave you might be invited.

You dig him?

I dig him, he's great.

Great, huh?

I'll tell you what. Gilberto bring me another

book. I'm gonna give you one of these.

I tell you, the guy had no apprentices and no successors

he's the best.

Sarita.

Look who came to visit.

She's great, right'?

Who's that? It's the tiger.

I'll talk to him.

Excuse me, sarita babe, can you pour

me one of those?

Take good care of her, I'll be right back.

You look like sh*t.

You having a nice time?

Depends on what you call nice.

So what's the guy got

to say for himself?

He wants to f*** me and kill you.

He actually said that?

More or less.

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna drink.

What are you going to do?

Not too close.

She looks great, eh'?

Babe, why don't you go powder your nose?

Save me some.

Thank you.

Maybe you can put on the other dress,

not the white one, the other one we liked.

Ok'?

Ok.

Try it to see how that feels

i love you.

That's a piece of work, huh?

- So, I've got the money, man.

- You've got the money, I know.

Chance came through, huh?

Why'd you leave him circling the house?

Let's just do the deal.

Are you looking for a place here in

the neighborhood, next to little angel?

- You got the sh*t here or what?

- Come on scudder.

You know I can't deal with you baby.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

"What do you mean?"

You know what I mean.

You take me for a fool?

You trying to bust me, man.

Angel come on.

Come on scudder, let's

not play the game. You

want to play the game?

I'll play the game.

My papers are ready, my franchise are ready,

my lawyer's out of town, call me next week.

I can play that game.

I just want to do a little

business with you man. Come on.

What are you talking about, man?

You think I'm a fool'?

That's rude, man.

You are being disrespectful and rude.

Rude?

Rude, man.

You were rude all the way the f***ing street

with sunny, weren't you?

Rude...

Let me explain to you what

happened to sunny, man.

What happened to her is people think

that if you have

to kill somebody in the course

of doing business.

Sometimes it pays to advertise.

Make it messy, remind people that they

bleed when they die.

Might even prevent some more killings.

Understand where I'm coming from?

You are really a humanitarian, aren't you.

Lam.

Ok, no more f***ing bullshit man.

I know you dig Sarah.

I love herjust as much as you do,

you understand what I'm saying?

And I loved sunny just as much.

But it's in your hands, baby.

So don't make a f***ing mistake.

Tio.

Think about that man.

Tell me how you feel next week.

Mr. scudder here needs to go.

Come on, let's get out of here

head over to your market, man.

How do you work this thing?

Just dial the number.

Maybe I saw something in there

gave me an idea.

I got him if I'm right.

What did he say'?

He said he loves her too.

Detective sergeant Joe durkin please.

He loves her too? What the f*** does

that mean? What's that?

Sunny was working for maldonado.

Bullshit, no way.

- She wanted out, that's why he killed her.

- That's a bunch of sh*t.

You were right.

She wasn't afraid of you, she was afraid of him.

- So why did she lie about me'?

It's a hell of lot easier to get somebody

to protect you against a pimp

than a bunch of whacked out drug dealers

that hack you up.

He was trying to buy into your club, right?

I didn't want to do

business with that f***.

Chance, you might not be in business

with him he's in business with you.

Oh, come on, man. How much

could he run through the club?

Not your club, the markets.

Your vans, your managers, the box boys.

That's how he was using sunny.

She was getting his guys

into your operation.

Yeah, I'm holding.

You gonna go the whole way in second?

Let's go, come on.

Run the f***ing thing. Come on.

Has to be in here.

Yeah!

Check it out man.

I owe you one.

Let's go nose guard.

As soon as we figure out who is who

somebody'll be back to let you out.

So get close together, stay warm

think of the overtime.

Sit down.

Nose guard.

Wait, you can't, you're not going to

be able to see out the side view mirror.

Let's use my car.

Einstein.

Driving me crazy... what's going on today?

I've got some remedy.

Food of the gods, kind

of like being with you.

It's better than ever I thought it would be

I'm gonna make you so happy.

You just got to forget about everybody

what everybody says.

Forget about pressures, forget chance

and all the bullshit.

You don't have to work anymore.

You understand what I'm

saying? Anything you need

anything you ever

want you're gonna have.

I'm going to take care of you.

You're gonna be my queen.

You got to buy a different dress though.

You hanging around here my boys

will get excited put that up.

You picked it out.

I know, but we were there alone.

You didn't give me my little kiss today.

Can I get a kiss?

It's our first kiss.

You think I killed sunny'?

Huh?

That's a no? A no-no or no-yes'?

No.

Ok

scudder, wrong place wrong time baby.

Angel, I don't mean to be rude but...

We've just ripped off 150

of your logs man.

What? My what?

And your coke, you know what I mean?

If you want it back you meet me in

45 minutes.

Pier 20 in San Pedro

i want Sarah.

Oh, you want Sarah.

You heard me, San Pedro,

45 minutes, pier 20. Be there.

You know what your boyfriend says?

- He is not my boyfriend.

- Maybe not.

He's got all my coke, he says

And I don't know how he found out.

I just.

He wants you.

He wants to exchange my coke for you.

He is not my friend.

- You're not lying to me?

- No, I'm not lying. -Ok.
