Dog Eat Dog Page #5

Synopsis: Carved from a lifetime of experience that runs the gamut from incarceration to liberation, Dog Eat Dog is the story of three men who are all out of prison and now have the task of adapting themselves to civilian life. The California three strikes law looms over them, but what the hell, they're going to do it, and they're going to do it their way. Troy, an aloof mastermind, seeks an uncomplicated, clean life but cannot get away from his hatred for the system. Diesel is on the mob's payroll and his interest in his suburban home and his nagging wife is waning. The loose cannon of the trio, Mad Dog, is possessed by true demons within, which lead him from one situation to the next. One more hit, one more jackpot, and they'll all be satisfied. Troy constructs the perfect crime and they pull it off, but in the aftermath, they keep finding the law surrounding them wherever they go.

so that's $250,000

for each of us.

Now we can do this,

and my vote is that

we should do this

because this is no kind of life.

F*** no, 100 percent not.

I mean, if it came down to it,

i would literally eat a gun

before the cops

would pinch me again.

I'm tellin' ya, I can't do it.

I got two strikes.

Well, we all have two strikes

so I think we are agreed

that that cannot happen.

Absolutely.

- I think we all understand

that there's no way

we're gonna get a foot

in the straight world

without some serious dough

with which to start

businesses with,

and we aren't gonna get that

by being some $10-an-hour monkey

in a job we got from

our probation officer

or an outreach program

or what have you.

- Aw, sh*t,

you can't live off that sh*t.

So this seems to be the play.

But I just wanna say this,

and I'm not tryin'

to be melodramatic.

I am looking out for you.

I want us all to agree,

with this particular gig,

there are only two options.

Option one is total victory,

and that is what

i am planning on.

But, failing that...

We are gonna go down.

We are not going to get clipped,

and one guy gives up the other-

no.

It's gotta be samurai style.

Jackie chan.

No, what he's sayin' is,

if we get in a spot where

we're gonna get pinched,

we go down together.

Yo.

What?

What?

F***in' thing that

you always hear about.

Where there's a gig, and there's

a lot of money at the end,

you run away to Hawaii.

That sh*t never, ever works out.

Does it?

I think it does sometimes.

You just don't know about it

'cause they run off to Hawaii

and you don't ever

hear from 'em again.

Why is that funny?

Diesel, I understand

what you're saying,

but we've painted

ourselves into a corner,

and now, we have to

paint ourselves out.

It's death or victory,

and it pretty goddamn well

better be victory.

A lot of people

are gonna be really pissed.

It's gonna be a victory.

That's a f***in' house there.

How much you think that's worth?

Oh, five, ten million?

Nah.

You should know,

you come from money, huh, Troy?

That was a long time ago.

It's me, doll, I'm back.

No, Mike Brennan.

No, no, I'm goin'

back to my house.

No, meet up there,

it's much more boring.

Yeah, it's my baby mama,

I'm gonna surprise her.

Yeah, she's been bringin'

her boyfriend over to the house.

How 'bout I just send you

a cellphone video

of me beatin' his f***in' ass?

Okay, mamita, you like that?

Okay, I love you, sweetheart.

You know, none of these

wall street motherfuckers

have been to prison.

But I know a guy,

my wife's cousin-

oh, that guy with the f***ing

donut tire thing?

A f***in' joke.

- This is so f***ed up. Listen.

Dude stole this spare donut tire

off the back of some dude's Jeep...

Got-

- life.

Life without the possibility

of parole.

That's f***ed up, man.

How's the gas?

Why?

We good?

Ya ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

I'm always ready.

You guys are so f***ed.

Bad dog!

No!

- Shut the f*** up.

Stay still, think about it all.

Can you shut this baby up?

No, you know how.

Where's the thing you put

in the f***ing baby's mouth?

What's it called?

- Uh, dick?

No. Here it is. Here we go.

All right, you know what?

You know what?

You just take him, take him.

Take the baby,

take the f***ing baby.

Okay, who was that guy?

- I don't know.

Was he a cop?

- I don't know.

Get his wallet,

get his f***in' wallet.

You get his f***in' wallet.

- What's the matter with you?

I don't like this motherf***er

tellin' me what to do.

Dude, get his wallet.

Let's find out who he is.

Take the baby downstairs,

he annoys me.

Dog, would you please

just keep an eye on her.

Just- just step over it.

Step over...

What the f***?

Jose vasquez?

Jose vasquez.

Who the f*** is Jose vasquez?

I have no f***in' idea.

All I know is this f***in' chick

can identify all of us.

We've gotta waste her.

- Let me think about it.

We're gonna need

somethin' to wrap him in.

The baby?

- No, the body.

Come on.

You got his keys?

- Yeah, I got 'em.

Yo, Troy.

You guys take off,

I'll wait for the mom.

There is no baby seat.

Never mind about that,

just get in.

You all right?

Yes.

Baby seat. Just keep the baby

down real low.

We should've thought about that.

Yeah, I know. All right, guys, get goin'.

Call me when you get there.

Carmen, I was gonna

get you the face cream-

it's all right, your baby's fine.

He's perfectly safe.

Carmen?

We've got your kid, now calm down.

He's all right.

He's just a little baby.

- I know.

He didn't, doesn't-

- i know that.

Now listen to me.

Hey, hey!

Carmen!

Hey!

You don't wanna go up there.

Why?

Because your husband had one of his

thugs watchin' you, and he got shot.

There's a dead guy in our house?

No, but there's some

very messy sh*t up there.

It's gonna be my ass-

- shut up!

Shut the f*** up, man!

What don't you understand?

Now, do you know how to get in

touch with Mike, the father?

I have a number

for him in canton.

Okay, good.

Canton is good, that's a start.

Now I need ya to call him,

tell him his kid's collateral

on money he owes

an old friend from prison,

and as soon as he pays it,

he gets the kid back, okay?

Carmen!

Lady!

I don't have time for this sh*t.

All right, did you get

your phone charged?

Yes.

Okay, good,

'cause we're gonna call you in a little bit,

so keep it charged.

If you need to, you can plug in

that charger over there.

Now we're gonna call you.

We're gonna give you

the combination to that lock,

and then you can

let yourself out.

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Yes.

Here's a pen so you can

write down the combination.

And if we don't call right away,

don't panic,

don't do anything,

don't call anybody,

'cause we got people outside,

ya see?

And they're gonna get very upset

if they see anything weird

or they hear anything weird.

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Yep.

- Yes.

Oh, you like that, huh?

All right.

This will all be over

with very soon.

Come here, gimme a big bear hug,

come here.

Come on, come on, there you go.

- No!

All right, you'll be fine, baby.

All right, gentlemen, let's go.

I gotta call grecco, I gotta buy

a disposable phone and call him.

What?

I know,

that's how he wants me

to do this.

I'm tellin' ya, man, all these

people coverin' themselves.

And they f*** up

the most basic sh*t.

Dog, you got a place

to put the body, right?

Yeah, I got a good place

on the way towards Toledo.

That's pretty f***in' far, man.

No, no, it's like two hours,

two and a half tops.

All right, I'll go call grecco.

Find out where and when he

wants us to pick up the dough.

It's me.

Yeah.

All right, we've got the kid,

we've got the nanny,

it's all good.

Now the wife didn't show up,

so if you can get me

a contact on Brennan,

I'll arrange for

the ransom myself.

I don't think so.

What do you mean?

Did you guys happen to

encounter a problem at that house?

We did in fact, yes.

Uh-huh.

I thought maybe you did,

Edward Bunker

Edward Heward Bunker (December 31, 1933 – July 19, 2005) was an American author of crime fiction, a screenwriter, convicted felon and an actor. He wrote numerous books, some of which have been adapted into films. He was a screenwriter on Straight Time (1978), Runaway Train (1985) and Animal Factory (2000). He started on a criminal career at a very early age, and continued on this path throughout the years, returning to prison again and again. He was convicted of bank robbery, drug dealing, extortion, armed robbery, and forgery. A repeating pattern of convictions, paroles, releases and escapes, further crimes and new convictions continued until he was released yet again from prison in 1975, at which point he finally left his criminal days permanently behind. Bunker stayed out of jail thereafter, and instead focused on his career as a writer and actor. more…
