Clint, 'The Rookie' & Me Page #4

---

- Bullshit!

- I swear on the Virgin, nobody knows!

- What about Little Felix?

- Third and Howard, man!

- He runs a cleaners at Third and Howard!

- Third and Howard, huh?

I never did pay you for that beer.

Come on!

This way! This way!

I want the money

in a single black suitcase.

I will call later to inform you

of the drop-off spot.

There will be a man there

to pick it up.

- And then after, you will follow him to...

- Wait a minute.

Pulovski has to be at the drop off.

So that your sharpshooters

can pick off my man and take the pig?

Who do you think you're talking to?

No Pulovski, no drop off.

Damn it! This guy is serious.

You listen to me. We got

no time, no money and no leverage.

You don't get it, do you, Ray?

Pulovski's dead already.

He just doesn't know it yet.

Yeah?

I'm giving you one last chance.

You do as I say or the pig dies.

Okay, we'll do it, but I want to hear

Pulovski's voice, and I mean now.

It's for you.

Try and be smart.

- Nick! Nick, are you there?

- Yeah, I'm here.

You damn fool!

I told you to get off this case!

But no, you had to be your

stupid, stubborn...

... son of a b*tch self.

Look where it got you!

Now, you boys just take it easy

and save your money.

I've got these people

right where I want them.

You seem like a man

with a fairly adequate IQ.

I hope you respect my capabilities

more than your unreasonable friend here.

Further instructions will follow.

Sounds like Nick's got

them outnumbered.

Candy-gram for Mr. Mongo.

Get the f*** back!

Get the f*** back!

Sh*t.

Move! Move!

That's great.

This is all I f***ing need right now.

Police brutality complaints

have been pouring in...

...from the East L.A.

Division all morning.

Seems like a cop assaulted an entire bar

down there and burnt it down!

From the descriptions,

sounds like David Ackerman!

- Ackerman?

- Yeah!

That damn yellow rookie.

I tried him at home.

His girlfriend answered, worried as hell.

Said he'd run off last night,

hasn't heard from him since.

Listen up! I need two volunteers

that know David Ackerman's face.

Wang! Lance! Get in an unmarked

and go out looking for him!

I want that fresh-faced punk

picked up on sight!

Lieutenant, give us a break.

It's not just a job!

It's a f***ing adventure!

Excuse me.

You can't go back there.

- Our expectations are that...

- Okay, everybody out. The party's over.

What, do you want me to fax it to you?

Let's go! Come on!

Go on.

What do you think you're doing?

You've been all over television.

Where you been?

I need $2 million...

...in four and a half hours.

That's it, then.

You continue making mistakes, and I

have to spend my life paying for them.

A man is going to die.

I didn't come to you

because you're my father.

I came to you because

you're the richest person that I know.

Who do you think

you're punishing, huh?

Putting yourself out where you could

get killed. I've already lost a son.

- You can't know how that feels.

- He was my brother.

You're my only son!

It's your responsibility to be here for us!

My responsibility?

Where were you when I was in pain?

Where were you when I was hurting?

I've always given you everything

you wanted.

But you were never there for me, Dad.

Were you angry with me?

Did you blame me for something?

Well, I don't know,

and I really don't give a f*** anymore.

I'm through making mistakes.

You couldn't buy me, Dad, but

you can sure as hell buy me some time.

I'll do it.

With a condition.

You forgive yourself.

You do what you gotta do...

...and when it's over, you quit,

give yourself a decent life.

- Deal?

- No.

This is my life.

This is my job.

Help me.

Any chance of getting

a glass of water?

You think you're a real man,

don't you?

A real tough American guy.

Pigs are all alike.

Without their badges,

they're only half-men.

Without their guns,

they're nothing at all.

Are you any different?

I said, are you any different?

You better be.

Because I hate anything useless.

When something is no good to me...

...I just cut it off

and throw it away.

It tastes like fear, pig.

Now I'll have something

to remember you by...

...when you're dead.

Pure silver.

Strom wears an identical one.

When one of us dies,

the other takes his own life with it.

Romantic. Isn't it?

Bite it.

Bite it!

Don't lose it.

- Sarah.

- David, where are you?

Never mind. Are you okay?

Am I okay?

Everybody's worried sick about you.

Your parents have been calling all

day long. Lt. Garcia's here.

He says half the force

is out looking for you.

Okay. All right, look,

everything's fine.

Stay with the lieutenant. Tell him

I'll be there soon to explain, all right?

All right, I'll tell him.

I love you, David.

Admiring the view, Ackerman?

Lieutenant, that was David.

He'll be here in a minute.

That's great. Thank you, Sarah.

Is decaf okay? David hates caffeine.

Decaf's fine.

Don't worry. A couple more years...

...and David will be a speed freak

like us old-timers.

Christ. I don't know what you've been

up to, but Garcia is pissing fire.

He wants you downtown,

like, yesterday.

Garcia isn't at headquarters.

Sure as hell is.

He called us from there five minutes ago.

- I gotta get home right now.

- No, you're coming downtown right now.

- What the hell are you doing?

- Ackerman!

- What are you doing?!

- So long, guys.

Ackerman!

Ackerman!

It's a nice place you got here, Sarah.

You got a washer, dryer, everything.

Me, I gotta go to the cleaners.

I was just there, as a matter of fact.

Get out of the way!

Move!

- Watch it!

- Move! Get off the sidewalk!

Move your ass!

Lieutenant?

Coffee's ready.

- Officer Raymond Garcia. As you'll see,

his comments were quite unorthodox.

All I can say is,

we're gonna do our best.

Everything that can be done to ensure

Pulovski's safety is being done.

Oh, sh*t!

B*tch!

Damn you!

B*tch!

Just for that,

I'm gonna make it hurt, puta!

No! No!

Come on, boy.

Goddamn it!

- I needed him alive!

- Then I should've let him kill you!

If I wanted him dead,

I would've shot him myself.

Maybe next time,

you aim for the kneecaps, huh?

I was aiming for the kneecaps.

Come here. It's okay.

It's okay.

You want to know

what a real criminal is, Sarah?

What are you talking about, David?

Anyone who would deface a work of art

with a color like that...

...ought to have his ass removed.

Third van's in place, Mr. Strom.

Good. Get up there,

help Liesl with the pig...

...get your car and you're out of here.

Get ready.

- What about Loco?

- Loco? Loco hasn't called in.

You handle it yourself,

and I save 50 grand.

Move!

We are moving, babe.

I think this little beauty here

is gonna do me just fine.

I'll see you later.

Going on a little trip, are we?

Chill or die, a**hole.

Now, you don't wanna go wasting $2

million worth of merchandise, do you?

F*** you.

F*** you!

Damn it, Liesl!

Hey, cop!

Are you listening to me?

There's no time for any more of this.
