Defendor Page #2

Just a couple of months.

Okay. Okay. Come on.

You're a big boy now.

Look out there.

What do you see?

The moon.

Wherever I am,

you just look at that moon.

'Cause we can always

see the same moon.

Mommy? Mommy?

Sure. Whatever you're into.

But I'm not running a charity here.

You need money.

You just keep looking at

that moon, little man.

That's where I'll be at.

Let's go, baby.

Hey. Hey. You want me

to be your mommy, right?

Come on. Let's go to your place.

Come on. There you go. Okay.

What is this place?

It's a secret base.

You live here? Cool.

You know, you really messed with

my situation the other day.

Messed with your...

Who are you?

Angel.

Angel?

"Make like a rocket. Take off."

Remember? That was me, Wordsworth.

You f***ed everything

up that night.

What are you doing?

This? It's a little bling-bling.

You want to try?

It's like medicine. It'll make you

feel really, really good. Here, look.

That stuff is bad.

Your momma tell you that?

She died.

Her name was Fay.

Sh*t. Sorry.

Look, I got another way

to make you feel good. You ready?

Ready for what?

What does the wind do?

The wind? The wind?

The wind, the wind,

the wind, the wind,

the wind, the wind, the wind...

It swishes everything around.

Yeah?

It swishes everything

around. Okay.

You have to go.

Well, Meal Ticket's a little

pissed off right now.

Soon as he calms down,

I'm gone. Couple of days, all right?

Number one?

Sh*t, that's got to

be worth something.

I tripped.

You tripped?

Down some steps.

Bullshit.

Who did this to you?

What'd they look like?

Arthur, don't f***ing lie to me.

How are your ribs?

It only hurts when I breathe.

Jesus! Give me this.

Come on. We're going to the hospital.

Arthur, we're going

to the hospital. Let's go.

How many guys?

Jesus, Arthur.

Did you provoke them?

You know what "provoke" means?

Yes.

You lost a tooth, pal.

You got to do

some provoking

to lose a tooth.

Trying to save someone.

How is he?

Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack.

Hey, Arthur. How are you?

You hungry?

We brought some dinner.

Meatloaf.

Meatloaf!

Who did this, Paul?

I don't know.

He says 10 or 12 guys.

He was trying

to save somebody.

Arthur Poppington?

It's okay. Take it on in with you.

He won't mind.

What does this teach us, Jack?

Next time have a gun.

Hey. Don't be a wise ass.

But...

No, it teaches us that fighting

never solves anything.

Mom.

Sometimes a good

knock in the teeth

isn't such a bad...

Paul!

But, Mom, is it okay to fight if

you're trying to save someone?

The Mayor's all over me, Roger.

We're going to have a problem

with these bikers?

No. No. No.

I got a man deep inside.

Yeah, I got a wire tap

before the judge as we speak.

You need money, resources,

just say the word.

And I appreciate your support, Chief,

but I can't let anybody, even in

the department, know about this.

Sit down and shut

your f***ing face.

Shoot. I... I got to

call you back there, Chief.

Hey, Captain.

Dooney, Dooney, golly.

What the hell?

Are you all right?

Did you just say "golly"?

I did, yeah.

Hey, listen, there's

a rumor out there

about some sting

operation on the bikers.

You hear anything

about that?

No. No. Well, where

did you hear about this?

I don't know.

People talk, you know.

I didn't think much about it,

but thought I'd ask.

Since it's my turf, right?

Right.

Anyway, I'm going to process this

shithead and cut out early?

It's my weekend with the girls.

Good, good.

Family's important.

Hey, you be careful out there.

What's that stand for?

Defendor.

Defender?

Defendor!

My God.

Jesus. How do you spell that?

I know how to spell it!

Relax, guy.

I can't relax.

Not when there are

people out there that need me.

Who needs you?

Who needs you?

I asked you first.

I'm looking for someone.

Yeah, who?

Captain Industry.

Who's that?

Evil mastermind.

He smuggles drugs.

I probably know him, then.

Radovan?

Radovan?

Yeah. He's a real f***er, man.

Radovan?

No. No, I don't think so.

I don't think that's Captain Industry.

No? Okay then.

'Cause this guy's pretty evil.

Well, do you think he might be

Captain Industry?

Do I think

he's Captain...

Do I think Radovan Kristic

is Captain Industry?

Yeah. I think he is.

For sure.

Radovan... Kristic.

Kristic. Kristic.

Radovan Kristic.

Radovan Kristic.

Radovan Kristic.

He's an evil mastermind.

He's killed, like, a bunch of people.

And you know him?

Been to his house, man.

He's bringing girls

in from Moldova now.

Sex slaves, drugs, guns.

He's into all of that sh*t.

Show me.

Excuse me? He is Serbian militia.

He's got these 2 huge-assed

dudes around him all the time.

You'd never get within a mile of him.

I can handle 2 big-assed dudes.

You can?

You mean like last time when I peeled

you off the pavement, you mean?

No. Do you think those guys work

for Captain Industry?

Well, if Radovan Kristic

is Captain Industry,

yes, because everybody

works for him.

He's in with the bikers now.

How do you know all that?

I was his favorite girl for,

like, 5 minutes.

What are you doing?

I'm going to get him.

Forget it. I'm not helping you.

Listen, young lady.

Don't "young lady" me, buddy.

I'm not telling you sh*t.

You're a joke.

I'm not a joke!

Captain Industry,

where does he live?

Well, that kind of information

doesn't just grow on trees.

This information,

this cost you $40 a day?

Well, she knew a lot of stuff.

It was important information.

You think that's too expensive?

Because on The Rockford Files,

it always cost

Rockford for information.

Did I get that wrong?

No. There's no

right or wrong here.

Well, if there's no right or wrong here,

how come I have to stay here?

Where would

you rather be?

Out there.

Fighting crime.

What the f*** is this?

Angel.

My God!

You scared the sh*t out of me!

What are you doing?

What? What's the problem? I'm not...

My name isn't even Angel.

Here. You can have

your comic back, too.

First issue. You think it's worth

something? You're wrong.

Some geek offered

me 4 bucks for it.

Apparently Strontium 90 and

the Hellbound Gang sucks balls.

You shouldn't take

other people's stuff.

Really?

Thanks for the tip.

Should I suck your cock now?

You must be tired.

Goodnight.

What's your real name?

Kat.

Katerina.

Katerina Debrofkowitz.

Kat. Kat. Kat.

Katerina Debrofkowitz.

Katerina Debrofkowitz.

Well, why do you lie?

I'm good at it.

What else are you good at?

Get guys off pretty good.

What else?

I used to get A's in English.

English? Like a writer?

Mrs. Shaw thought I was pretty good.

But that was like,

you know, 4 years ago.

You should be

a writer like Lois Lane.

Yeah, Lois Lane.

That's me.

So, well,

did you lie about other stuff,

like being Captain Industry's girlfriend

and knowing where he lives?

Sort of.

It's all up a hill, like a mountain,

and then it starts smelling like sh*t.

Which I think is the stables,

'cause you hear airplanes.
