dead bodies back there.

I don't care if you're the Pope.

This is a crime scene.

Get the hell outta here.

- The body count is rising--

- Guys!

It looks like they were killed

with a very big knife.

You should make a statement,

Detective or I'll make one

for you.

Hey, please don't touch him!

Okay, we're leaving.

1st Streeters, the Whiteboys,

this club and now these two.

I think you've got a vigilante

on your hands.

- No comment.

- Thank you, Detective.

Okay, we're leaving.

This is just the beginning,

isn't it?

This is Jerry Simon coming to

you live for a special report.

I find myself again outside of

the Snake Eyes strip club,

which just yesterday exploded

in a fiery blast,

killing almost everyone inside.

But this morning,

two more bodies were found,

each killed at some point

last night

outside of the very same club.

Although the police are denying

it, this reporter believes it

to be the work of a vigilante.

A "super-vigilante,"

if you will.

He first targeted the violent

1st Streeters and Whiteboy

gangs.

He then moved on to the

notorious Snake Eyes club,

which you can

still see behind me.

And now, he hunts the muggers

and criminals that

infest our streets.

It is unknown if this

crime wave will end.

If you ask me,

the modus operandi

of this vigilante will escalate

until our peaceful hamlet

is washed of these

vicious criminals.

[man on TV] The footage that

Jerry Simon Says

is about to show is gruesome.

But it's the truth.

I advise any children

out there watching

to do so

with extreme caution.

Those are the two crack heads

I had watching the place.

I didn't think anyone

would actually go back.

[Jerry] Let me take you live to

the Jerry Simon Says studios.

I am about to share with you

some expert observations

that clearly raise questions.

And this bastard

used a hunting knife?

Two of them.

Without blinking.

...and the most recent bombing

of the Snake Eyes strip club.

Folks, when you've been

an Emmy Award-winning journalist

as long as Jerry Simon has,

you develop eyes

in the back of your head.

Case in point.

To me, this gentleman

is a person of interest

and somebody needs to

find him and talk to him.

Furthermore, my gut instinct

begs the question,

why is he so chummy

with this single

mother/seductive stripper...

- [Romano] That's him.

- ...who miraculously survived.

Uh, sir, I'm not

so sure about that.

Why is that?

I've seen this guy

around before.

- Where?

- With the police...

I think he's a cop,

maybe even a Fed.

Feds don't kill people

with hunting knives.

That's him.

And when you bring that

little b*tch in here,

I'm sure she'll tell me

the same thing.

Mac and the boys are

picking her up right now.

[knocking]

[door handle jiggles]

I'll scream.

I hope for nothing less.

[man] We work

for Vincent Romano.

We're here to ask

a few questions...

and for your sake,

we better like the answers.

Now put down the f***ing knife!

[Keri screams]

You remember Mr. Romano?

Your old boss

at the Snake Eyes club?

Yes, but I was

hired by Jack.

I didn't do any

of that other stuff.

Haven't you been watching

the news this week?

It's not safe anymore for

people in your profession.

Yours either.

[chuckles]

You going on a little trip?

Just-- just a weekend getaway.

But it's not the weekend yet.

[sniffing]

Why go away when we can...

party right here?

We want to know about

the bombing.

I don't know anything.

She doesn't know anything.

[chuckles]

- [Ex grunts]

- [sobs]

[panting]

We don't believe you,

Keri!

There was a man

sitting at the back.

But I didn't see his face.

I swear.

It's not me

you need to convince...

- it's Mr. Romano.

- [knocking on door]

Answer it.

You try anything stupid,

you die,

and so does your kid.

- Who is it?

- Special Agent Porter.

We met outside

the Snake Eyes club.

I believe we have some

unfinished business to discuss.

It's not a good time.

Never is.

[men grunting]

[grunting continues]

- Are there any more?

- [panting]

- [softly] Are there any more?

- No.

Are you okay?

- [sobs]

- [sighs]

Where's your little boy?

He's at school.

All right, we gotta

get out of here now.

Do you think there's

more of them?

[scoffs]

It's not them

I'm worried about. Come on.

Come on.

We need to get you

to the police station.

No, I have to

go get my son.

You can call him

from the police station.

Look, if you ever need

anything, anything at all,

this is where I'm staying.

Thank you.

[tires squeal]

They're in the alley!

Go!

[screams]

- Go!

- [continues screaming]

What's wrong with you, man.

You're slipping.

What, you can't check your six?

Robert.

Just like old times, huh?

Me saving your life

and your hooker girl

flying up into the wind.

How about this,

you do what you do,

I do what I do.

We'll see who comes out on top.

I appreciate you

killing some of the bad guys,

that was nice of you.

[chuckles]

Oh, I'm gonna stop you, boy.

I wanted to ask you something.

Would you give your life

to save the world,

if nobody knew you did it?

See, that's the difference

between you and me.

And you're not telling me

when we'll settle anything.

I'm gonna dictate the time.

Tomorrow, midnight,

Devil's Garden, come alone.

[sirens approaching]

I want to assure all of you

that this crime wave

will come to an end.

We have the best police

department in the country.

And we're working

around the clock

to make sure that all the good,

law-abiding citizens are safe.

Mayor Randolph has called

the events of this past week

"a crime wave".

But perhaps it's a wave

of a different kind,

a wave of justice.

Murderers, robbers, rapists,

dealers, pedophiles,

and the Mob.

None are safe.

A source of ours at the police

department

says that other than

the actual acts perpetuated

by the super-vigilante

this past week,

there has been virtually no

other violent crime

reported throughout the city.

In an online poll we took

earlier today

shows that the super-vigilante

currently enjoys

a higher approval rating

than Mayor Randolph.

I'm Jerry Simon.

Draw your own conclusions,

ladies and gentlemen,

I'll draw mine.

And to all you criminals

out there,

Jerry Simon says...

it's judgement day.

And cut.

That was great.

Of course it was,

it's me.

[chuckles]

Mr. Mayor! Your thoughts on

the super-vigilante, sir?

I'm sorry, Mr. Simon, I have

an important meeting to get to.

Just one quote.

Mayor Nate Randolph

for Governor.

What do you think, Neil?

I think he's an a**hole.

You gonna let him

be governor?

Well, it's not up to me.

It's up to the people.

Mr. Mayor, your wife's

holding on line two.

Tell her I'm in a meeting.

So, I really need some.

- [man] Yeah, I don't think so.

- Come on, I'll suck your dick.

I don't know, the last time you

f***ing chewed it all up with

those teeth.

I won't this time,

it'll be really good.

All right,

but you owe me.
