Carter & June Page #4

---

No, don't think.

Tomorrow's a big day.

All right.

Listen, if all goes well,

maybe, just maybe, we

can go have one drink.

Open the door.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

[June] Yeah, I bet you are.

A drop of something

cheerful, darling.

Okay, they're gone.

Baby,

I don't know if I can do this.

Yeah but that's an

awful lot of money.

I know.

I got an idea.

How about you go and wash up

and then we can have some dinner

and we can pray over it?

And then maybe if

you're good later

then we can fool around.

Sound good, sugar?

I love you.

You too, babe.

Is he gone?

I just sent him for a shower.

We gotta talk about this.

You gotta make sure

he gets that money.

The Lord told me.

He talked to you again?

While I was in the closet.

He made all this happen

so that we can start

our own church!

Our church?

I'm gonna make

you my Tammy Faye!

Who?

Just make sure

he does it, okay?

Okay.

Now go.

Gimme a kiss, gimme a kiss.

(light rock music)

Hey when you said Twitty

was young, fit, handsome,

Officer Twitty, how...

(mumbling)

Oh sh*t.

(siren sounding)

The usual.

I act drunk and belligerent,

call you a retard

until the cop feels bad

enough to let us go?

Oh, you're out

of practice, baby.

He was waiting for us.

[Jane] Seriously?

Wait a second.

Oh, it's just Eddie.

Who's Eddie?

How you doing, Eddie?

Hey man, got to bring you in.

Questioning and charges?

Pick him up at Eighth and Maple.

Gretna.

Let's go.

Eighth and Maple and Gretna?

That's not police headquarters.

Here we are.

You mention our

little arrangement,

Aw come on, I didn't get

this far by being stupid.

That's debatable.

Well.

Mr. Jennings.

I'm Detective

Lieutenant Duke Johnson.

How you doing?

(siren sounding)

Look familiar?

It's hard to tell with the

bullet wound to the head.

Let me see if I can help you.

Her name is, was,

Caitlin Jackson.

She worked at a bar

called the Rabbit Hole.

At the same time your girlfriend

Miss O'Malley was there.

I don't know if you've ever

been to the Rabbit Hole sir,

but a lot of girls work there.

Two months later,

she got herself a job

working at the very bank

that you and Miss O'Malley

walked into this morning.

Until she got her head shot up

by a notorious bank

robber from Miami.

I mean, what are the odds?

People still play the lottery.

What were you and

Miss O'Malley doing

at the bank this morning?

Depositing a check.

And you and Miss

O'Malley didn't know

a bank robbery was gonna happen?

No, sir, I had no idea.

Probably would have

picked a different bank.

See it's pretty coincidental

that a known felon

and his felon girlfriend

showed up to a bank robbery

and left unscathed.

Eh, number one, neither

of us were ever convicted

of any of those things so

we're not technically felons.

And B, she's not

really my girlfriend.

That's good.

Say, Eddie, let me get

a moment with him alone.

Yes, sir.

I appreciate you, Eddie.

See the uniform guys

didn't take it seriously.

Well see these people didn't

even go for the cash reserve.

They were looking for something.

What do you suppose

that is, Mr. Jennings?

Ah, that I couldn't tell you.

I absolutely think you could.

You have any idea

why I brought you

down here today, Mr. Jennings?

I'm gonna give it a shot.

You wanted to bring me

someplace intimidating

that let's me know

your full force

has a police lieutenant

but isn't full of cops

with big ears and

even bigger mouths.

That's why you had

Eddie bring me down here

because Eddie knows how

to keep his mouth shut.

Am I close?

You're not as dumb as I

thought you were, Carter.

I'm sorry.

You asked daddy for a band aid?

I know.

I know, it's gonna be okay.

You're a big boy, okay?

All right.

Okay.

I love you, I love you.

Okay, bye.

(tense music)

Hey, did they know

anything, what happened?

Just a shakedown.

They dragged out Caitlin's body.

They still think

the robber shot her.

What else do they know?

Less than they think.

[June] Plan's still on?

Yeah, plan's still on.

Okay.

Get me home.

(bottles clanking)

Oh, sh*t.

Oh hey, what's up?

You guys aren't working?

Not at the club.

Oh.

(upbeat music)

(mumbling)

Why, you in a hurry?

Where are you going

so in a hurry, huh?

I wonder why.

Mr. Rabbit.

You are stupid to even realize

how much trouble you're

really in, aren't you?

Uh, no?

Did we or did we not have

an appointment today at noon?

We did, I'm sorry, I just,

(bashing)

And have I not

made my position

on tardiness perfectly clear?

Yes you have.

I know you're kinda

sick of hearing this

but I swear I had the

money in my hands.

I have to take this.

(bashing)

You may speak.

Oh, I don't know Sebastian.

Why don't you rob a liquor

store, pawn your sh*t

but get me my money at

your f***ing thumbs.

And why don't you tell

everyone else who owes me money

that now would be a very,

very appropriate time

for them to make

themselves right with me.

That's a lovely home.

It's your shithole, right?

So where were we?

This time this plan is

gonna work, I swear to God.

Oh, okay, I'll bite, tell me.

I can't give you specifics

but by tomorrow afternoon,

I'll pay what I owe you,

I'll pay you double.

Triple, I'll pay you triple.

What do you have to lose?

If I f*** up, you can

still kill me tomorrow.

But if I'm right, 30,000

dollars is a lot of dough.

It's at least worth 24 hours.

Well unfortunately events

have conspired against me,

now I find myself

without many options.

Against my better

judgment I will give you

one more chance.

One more day.

But if you fail,

I know, f***ing dynamite.

Oh not only am I gonna

shove a stick of dynamite

up your ass and

when you are gone,

we'll break both of June's legs.

And tell her it's

because you put her life

up as collateral.

Are we clear?

We're clear.

You have a lovely

evening, Carter.

Not the f***ing car, man!

(booming)

(somber rock music)

Hey Twitty, nice going, man.

Who's the man?

(phone ringing)

Officer Twitty?

Detective Duke Johnson.

Detective.

Internal Affairs.

Thought you were

taking the day off.

Well I just came by

to get a clean uniform.

Grab my SWAT gear

out of my cruiser.

Got it, got it.

So let me talk to

you for a moment.

Uh, okay.

So I read the report.

Listen, is there anything

else I should know, officer?

Um,

Well um,

those guys that I shot,

had they been arrested,

would they have gone

to Angola prison?

Probably.

What's Angola like?

Oh, Angola ain't

no place to be.

Know what I'm saying?

Well don't worry.

A good shooting is

a good shooting.

We just have to

investigate, you know,

a matter of procedure.

Yeah so what happens now?

Well, firstly I prefer you

not to shoot nobody else.

(laughing)

I'm just kidding you man.

It's just a little

Internal Affairs humor.

But seriously.

Don't shoot nobody else.

Yes sir.

Here's my card if you

think of anything else.

Take care of that ear.

(tense music)

Hey, sorry.

Is it cool if I just
