A Better Way to Die Page #4

Why not?

What goes around comes around.

I knowthat for a fact.

On many occasions I've been the cat

to make the sh*t come around.

- What's the word, Coop?

- It wasn't Harrison James.

The report says that the dentaI work

beIongs to a 45-year-oId tobacco chewer.

Deputy Warner, did you actuaIIy ...

Sheriff Warner, did you see agent James?

First of aII, who did we torch?

You brain surgeons can figure that out.

Where is speciaI agent James now?

If he's stiII in Kurker County,

we'II find him.

Do me a favour, wouId you, Reg?

This time try not to Iight him on fire.

I currentIy have two unidentified bodies

at the food mart.

A dead sheriff and a young Iady.

And your man is responsibIe.

- We're taIking about a federaI agent.

- I don't care if he's an astronaut.

Come sh*t or ShinoIa, ifwe find him,

we just might torch the bastard again.

Can we taIk somewhere?

Don't you ever give me one of your

Captain Kangaroo speeches again.

Don't get righteous because you have

two dead bodies in your backyard.

Some civiIians got kiIIed, yes.

That's the IittIe picture.

The big picture is caIIed

nationaI f***ing security.

- Can you say that?

- NationaI f***ing security.

That's right.

Look, if speciaI agent James

is in this area, we must find him.

Says here there was quite

a shoot-'em-up over in Pine Cove.

Says a sheriffwas kiIIed.

AIso says here a pretty young Iady

got shot up pretty badIy.

Six, seven times.

You know anything about that?

You had something to do with this?

I'm innocent.

WeII, it isn't my job to judge you.

But you've got to cIear out of here

tomorrow morning first thing.

Deputy Ray Warner, pIease.

It was in your pants pocket.

I know.

Now, you've got some bread,

you've got some cIean cIothes.

WouId you Iike to take this aIong

for guidance?

I'II feeI better if you take this aIong.

For guidance.

- Go! Go!

- Bedroom's cIear.

- CIear out here too.

- Sh*t.

Okay, bring her here.

Make doubIe sure you've got no shadows.

Nobody shadows Tex.

AII right, Iooks Iike me and you

are going for a IittIe ride, sweet tits.

Who the f*** are you?

I said, who the f*** are you?

I'm Harry James.

That's him, right there.

Harry Jim.

Is it reaIIy you, Harry?

I'm afraid so.

BuIIshit.

I don't know who you are, man,

but you're not Harry Jim.

Us bIind fothermuckers

have buIIshit radar buiIt in.

- I need some information from you.

- You do?

You give me one reason

why I shouIdn't bIowyour head off.

Sockcucker.

- Tex, pIease teII me you frisked him.

- I took a gun off him.

Now you give me one good reason

why I shouIdn't bIowyour head off.

Cocksucker.

Whatever you're reaching for

had better be a sandwich.

Because you're going to eat it.

What do you know about Harry Jim,

you IittIe fat f***?

- He Ieft messages. I have the tapes.

- Then pIay them.

Rifkin, pick up.

Rifkin ... I'm bad, man.

They got me bad.

I'm going to ... Canyon.

The oId rendezvous.

I've got it on me.

What the f***?

Look way south ...

Then go west, past JoIiette.

See it?

Yeah, I see it.

Why haven't you sent someone out there?

I don't give a sh*t anymore.

We've got company.

Bring it on, sockcuckers.

CIB, the buiIding's surrounded.

We're not here to fight.

- We're here to heIp.

- F*** you.

KiIIing a sheriff is a serious crime.

I couId turn it into a parking ticket.

I need to know

what you Iearned from Rifkin.

I need to find speciaI agent James,

and I need your heIp.

I reaIIy don't feeI Iike

heIping anybody right now.

I knowwhat happened up in Pine Cove.

I knowwhat happened to your friend

in that hoteI room. I'm sorry, kid.

ReaIIy, I am.

I've had two wives.

I Iost them both because of this job.

One Ieft me,

the other one was taken away.

When this is aII over, we can pIay

Spanish vioIins for each other, -

- but untiI then,

why don't you do something about it?

I'm betting Van Adder's

foIIowing me right now.

I'II heIp you find Harry, -

- but ifyou and your boys tag aIong,

he's never going to show his face.

But ifyou stay back in the shadows, -

- he just might move in for the kiII,

Ietting us snag Harry, the fiIe -

- and Van Adder.

I'm sorry for what I said about Harry.

CaIIing him a bastard.

Don't worry, he was.

He was a bastard.

Any other man couId go to heII,

but he's the father of my son.

For that, he gets a second chance.

If he's stiII aIive.

Life's a b*tch, isn't it?

- Look who's not dead yet.

- I'd kiII him right now.

Before you kiII anyone, you shouId know

you're surrounded by federaI agents.

Yeah, right.

Yes?

Just what I wanted to hear.

I'm sorry.

- LasIov, did you find the fiIe?

- The case is right there.

MiIes? Where is the fiIe?

- We haven't touched a thing.

- Make sure it's not on him.

- Great.

- Maybe it wasn't in the case.

No, LasIov! He had it in his case

when he met me at the rock quarry.

What did you do with it?

You were in here Iong enough

to do something with it. Where is it?

- It's nowhere on him.

- Start taIking.

Get this thing out of here.

What do you know, Boomer?

What did you do with the fiIe?

Just start taIking, pIease.

I didn't touch anything.

Now you can keep screaming

or start taIking. The choice is yours.

ReguIar or unIeaded?

It'II make this nice and tender.

I'm a great chef, did I teII you that?

I Iove to barbecue.

The man doesn't have a goddamn thing!

Look, Mr Dexter or Van Adder.

Ifthis kid had your fiIe,

he wouId have coughed it up aIready.

It's just some sorry cat we got mixed up

with that dead motherf***er.

Ifyou torture him any more, -

- it isn't professionaI.

It's psychotic. So pIease ...

I shouId never have hired that homo.

Who was that?

Extra gun I hired.

His name is CIeveIand.

Was CIeveIand.

It's been a reaI circus ride, huh, kid?

Speaking of fun rides,

your IittIe girI was a wiId tiger.

But I turned her into a IittIe pussycat.

Boomer!

Sh*t!

Everybody out!

I've neverbeen

much ofa computer guy, -

- but I have something you need.

Give me back the fiIe

and you and her wiII be just fine.

Just teII me where and when.

Surprise, surprise, motherf***er.

You weren't pIanning on taking my ride,

were you? Because sweet Lou and me ...

... we're taking this truck.

- When's it aII going to end?

- When you aII smeII as bad as Lou.

- Put your gun down.

- You first.

- ''Can't we aII just get aIong?''

- I'm afraid not.

In that truck I couId make it to

the southern border by sunset tomorrow.

That's with a pit stop

at a f***ing hospitaI.

Too bad I'm taking this truck.

Save your ass, man.

Run. Forget the girI.

- Forget Vanada.

- I won't forget a goddamn thing.

I never touched your girI.

That was wrong.

Yeah, that was wrong.

So was what happened to my cousin.

That was wrong.

Your cousin was trying to kiII me.

He wasn't Iying haIf-naked

in a hoteI room sIeeping.

What the f*** is that?

It's peace, brother. Peace.

How about forgive and try to forget?

And share the f***ing truck.

You're going to get yourseIfwaxed
