and you're gonna come and get it.

Do you Understand?

- What are you getting out of it?

Just that.

'Out of it.'

- And your partners are happy with that?

I don't have any partners.

- you discuss this with anybody else?

No, just with you.

- You're not very good at this.

Are you?

Can I talk to you for a minute?

- I can't talk,

I have to go.

Can I just walk with you...for?

I have to tell you something.

Standard was into some...

guys in prison for a lot of money.

And it would ruin you and benicio

if he wouldn't pay it.

He asked me for my help.

It just went wrong,

you know.

I'm sorry.

I still got the money.

You can have it,

if you wanted to.

You can take Benicio...and.

I just thought,

we could get out of here. If you wanted.

I could come with you.

I could look out for you.

Sorry...uh...

Wrong floor.

He came into my apartment, Shannon.

How did they know where I live?

- I told you,

I was gonna call Bernie.

I just want him know that...

that it wasn't about that,

you are not interested in the money.

and that you just did it for the girl.

You told him about Irene!!!

I just wanted him to know that...

as soon as you return the money,

that was the end of it.

I didn't know.

How was I suppose to know

How was I suppose to know that?

Okay?

Look, let me just talk to Bernie..

Okay?

Why did you have to f*** everything up, Shannon?

How was I suppose to know that?

They're gonna come looking for me.

and they're gonna come for you.

Do you understand?

You gotta get out of here.

and you gotta get out now.

Listen to me.

Listen to me, Shannon.

You get out of here and you never f***ing come back.

You never come back.

What are you gonna do?

I already gave you my advice.

You should've taken the money,

and left the guy alone.

- It's just not that simple Bernie.

No! of course not!

Now everything's bounced up in your face!

You know, I owe you this guy.

Just give me a little time and I'll get rid of him.

Shut the f*** up.

You f***ing monkey!

The money, belongs to some half-assed wise guy,

out of Philly. Now...

I got tipped off...

he was stashing a million bucks in a pawn shop;

He's gonna invest it here in L.A

He was gonna set up a rival operation.

So, you stole from the east-coast mob?

No! I stole from some jump up punk.

He was trying to step on our action.

Yeah... then why didn't you come to me,

before you set up this dummy robbery?

Before you hire this piece of sh*t.

This was something on the side, Bernie.

I didn't wanna involve you on this.

Well, I'm involved now!

Let me tell you something...

Anybody...anybody!

Finds out you stole from the family, we are both dead.

What f***ing family?

The family who still calls me a f***ing kike?

To my face!

You know, I'm fifty nine years old Bernie,

they still pinched my cheek like i'm some f***ing kid.

Family.

The money flows up, easy.

You know that.

That's why this driver's gotta go, Bernie.

He's gotta go.

and your pal, Shannon.

it's these two guys,

that can tie me to this robbery.

Now, it's your turn to clean up after me.

All this priceless cars...

One would think you'd have better locks.

Doors is always open to you.

Going somewhere?

I was thinking about it.

I'm looking for your driver.

You breaking in here,

I figure its bad news.

No, Shannon.

It's bad luck.

Two thousand heist a year in this city,

he has to pick the wrong one.

He tried to put it right.

Well, he picked the wrong guy for that too.

My partner is a belligerent a**hole,

with his back against the wall.

Right now, so am I.

If I don't set this straight,

I'm in big trouble.

Any idea where he might be?

Mexico.

or maybe it was Balise.

really?

I was excited about this whole thing.

my name on a car!

I mean, look how beautiful.

I wanted to see my name on this thing.

I think we would've made a go with this business.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

That's it.

It's done.

There is no pain, its over. Its over.

I think this has gone on long enough.

You see any reason for this to continue?

What do you say we meet?

Why would I wanna do that?

Well...

You, me and your girlfriend are the only players left.

How's that for a reason?

When?

Tomorrow.

There's a place on Sherman Way...

there's a restaurant called ' The Great Wall'

You know it?

I'll find it.

Can I talk to you?

I won't keep you long.

I have to go somewhere now.

I don't think I can come back.

I just want you to know...

Just getting to be around you...

was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Did you bring the money?

Here's what I'm prepared to offer...

You give me the money,

the girl is safe.

Forever, nobody knows about it.

She's off the limits.

I can't offer you the same.

So, this is what I would suggest.

We conclude our deals...

we shake hands.

You'll start the rest of you life.

Any dreams you have,

plans or hopes for the future;

I think you got to put that on holds.

For the rest of your life,

you're gonna be looking over your shoulder.

I'm just telling you this,

b'cos I want you to know the truth.

But the girl is safe.
