about Lon pulling out.

Is this guy clean?

Yeah.

He wants to see

the Commerce Building.

So I'm gonna meet him

there tonight at 9:00.

I don't know, man. What

if our problem shows up?

Pulls some f***ing "I

don't know" kind of sh*t.

No, you're

the only one that knows.

I gotta go.

Yeah.

Yo, Vic. You with anybody?

Yeah. I'm busy.

Well, drop your dick.

I found the gypsy cab.

The guy at

the cab company says

he remembers Paul.

Paul was there.

I'm like

a detective, man.

Like Columbo.

I'm scaring myself.

Vic? Right.

I'll be right down.

Hey, Vic. Vic.

This girl you're seeing.

She your girlfriend?

No. No, it ain't serious.

She's got... Her face.

Yeah. Car accident.

Did it affect her?

You have no idea.

Hey, you never

mentioned her before.

You embarrassed about me?

Yeah, I'm embarrassed

about you.

You're embarrassed about your friends?

Huh? F*** you talking about?

So. This is it

right here.

Huh?

The cab dropped

off Paul right here.

You're sure?

Yeah.

They keep a track,

drop offs, pick-ups.

All right, detective?

Can we leave now?

A cemetery?

That's creepy.

The office is closed tomorrow.

But I could call them.

Maybe I'll come by

with a picture of Paul.

See if anybody

knows anything.

All right.

F***.

Come on.

I gotta get out of here.

Everything okay?

Yeah. I just got some

business to take care of.

Come on in.

So what did you tell Darcy?

Your text said not to

tell anyone I was coming.

I told him I was...

Had something to do.

Here's your food.

I set a trap, Victor.

I said whoever walks

through that door at 9:00

was going to have

a real bad night.

The person doing

this to me, he's hurt.

Someone who lost someone.

Like the people

in the picture.

And he's in a great deal

of pain because of that.

And it's a pain

that I've caused.

Then he kills Paul.

And found

he was in both feet.

Victor, I want him

to know something.

I want him to know that

if there's anything left in this

world that he still cares about,

I'm going to find it.

And I'm gonna burn it down.

He's probably wondering right

now what I'm thinking.

What my plan is.

And how much I know.

Wouldn't you be wondering

what I'm thinking?

I would.

You know, you're the only

one I can trust, Victor.

You know why?

No.

Because you saved

my life at Harry's.

It would be something,

though.

If you saved my life only

to be the one who kills me.

Have a seat.

I must stand, please.

Shh.

They're outside.

The other day...

You told me that

if I helped you...

Yes!

Believe what I say,

my friend.

I don't know, my boss...

He will not know.

You guarantee that?

That I won't be harmed?

I swear to God. Please.

You're asking me these things, so I

know you've been thinking about it.

About me in here.

All right.

Listen to me. You're

in the city. All right?

You're in the basement

of my boss's warehouse.

His name is Alphonse.

Alphonse Hoyt.

I don't know what your brother

or his men did to him,

but they're gonna kill you

whether he pays or not.

I got a camera.

You can record a message for your brother.

I'll make sure he gets it.

We gotta go fast.

Tell him where you are. It's important

you tell him where you are.

I swear to you.

Speak.

Ilir, Ilir, listen...

I'm alive, brother. I don't

know for how much longer.

They're going to kill me. Even if you pay

them the money, they're going to kill me.

They're holding me in a warehouse

that belongs to Alphonse Hoyt.

I beg you. I beg you,

brother, come quickly.

A warehouse that belongs to Alphonse Hoyt...

Alphonse Hoyt!

Thank you. Thank you.

I promise you.

We killed you.

We killed you all!

We killed you all!

I swear on their graves,

you didn't.

I swear! I swear on

their graves, you didn't!

No, no, no! No! No!

No, no, no! No!

Don't let me die like this!

Please! Please!

Don't let me die!

Please have mercy! Please!

Don't let me die like this!

Please!

Yeah. Yo, I tracked

down the manager.

What manager?

From the boneyard.

I thought it was

closed today.

He's gonna be here in 15. Says he

needs to feed some fish or some sh*t.

I can meet him alone,

if you're busy.

No, no, I'll be there.

All right.

All right.

F***!

I need to send

this package.

But I gotta take care of

something I didn't count on,

so can you send it for me?

Yeah.

What is it?

You don't need to

know what it is.

I need to know what it is.

What is it?

It's a video.

It's one of the Albanians

saying something

I need him to say

to the person I

need him to say it to.

All right?

Okay.)'-

You need to get a tracking number.

With alerts to my cell phone.

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks.

Wait.

Tell your mother

it was very good.

Yeah?

Not too salty?

No.

It was perfect.

Hey, this sh*t's coming together.

Paul was definitely here.

How'd you know he was here?

The manager.

He asked for this.

It's a list of all

the people buried here.

The guy said he was more interested

in the Hungarian section.

The Hungarian section.

Did he say why?

No.

There's hundreds of them.

Ah.

What happened to that girl?

That girl you told me about

across the way from you.

You ever meet her?

Yeah. I met her.

And?

You didn't die two years ago.

They found the cemetery.

They're getting close.

The one who found

you before got lucky.

And just because

he found the grave

doesn't mean that they will

figure it out as well.

You can walk away, still.

Not too late.

I know why you've

been waiting so long.

Why you haven't killed him.

I think you're afraid

that when it's over,

it won't mend your heart.

You're beautiful.

It was going to waste. I just

felt like putting it on.

I know why you put it on.

Or should I say,

...for whom.

Hey, monster!

Hey!

Get out of here!

Come on!

What... What happened?

I fell and ruined a nice dress.

Let me see.

You Okay?

Yeah.

At least it

wasn't my good side.

I sent your package.

I have your

tracking number.

Thank you.

Hello, Victor.

Hello.

Go take off your dress,

it's covered in blood.

He shouldn't

see you like this.

Thank you for returning my Tupperware.

Of course.

People usually don't.

Like it comes with the food.

Free Tupperware.

Did you like the food?

Yeah. The food was...

It was very good.

Beatrice didn't tell you?

She was nervous you

wouldn't like her cooking.

I always told her the way to a man's

heart is through his stomach.

One of the ways.

She'll keep you well fed.

That's for sure.

You know, this thing, me

falling and hitting my head?

Maybe it happened because I lost

my rabbit's foot.

The truth is my mom gave it

to me after the accident.

She said it was going to bring

me luck with my procedures.

I picked the color.

Stupid chartreuse.

Hey-

Would you go out

with me tonight?

Somewhere.

Anywhere.

Yeah.

Okay.

- Yeah.

- Laszlo Kerik.

Laszlo Kerik?

You know the name?

No. No, I don't know him.

I didn't think you would.

I've been searching every dead

Hungarian on this cemetery list.
