Driven To Kill Page #2

---

Where should I put them, Mr. Goldstein?

How the hell should I know? Ask my wife.

No! No! No!

Hello?

Yeah, Goldstein...

I thought, you know, for Lanie's sake...

- you and I should...

- Look, look, look.

I need you to hang on a minute, okay?

Something's happened here.

I need you to talk to my sergeant.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Yeah, let him through.

You talk to both of them?

Wanna bag that?

We're gonna have to dust for prints in all areas.

How is she?

Stab wounds.

Concussion.

She's critical but stable.

Sharp dresser.

- Where you from, Detective? The 2-6?

- Yeah.

Like hell.

That's my number.

What the f*** is this?

He's the father.

- We think they were looking for a safe in here.

- This was no robbery.

Whether this was a robbery

or a setup to look like one...

we're still gonna check into everything.

You do know whose family your daughter

was marrying into, right?

The husband of the girl just arrived.

He's not her husband, number one.

Number two, we gotta be in agreement...

Nobody... not Goldstein, not Stephan...

can know my daughter's still alive.

Yeah, okay. We'll get six of those.

Mm-hmm.

That's best for us too.

Who's in charge here?

I want to see my wife.

Where is she?

Oh, my God.

Catherine.

Where is she?

I want to see Lanie.

- Is she...

- The body's already been removed from the site.

Ruslan, tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened.

Ruslan.

The uniform will be there, da?

The end of the hall, 24/7.

You sure you'll be okay?

I could wait and give you a ride

back to your hotel.

That's a good idea.

And do you promise you won't share

the fact that she's alive with anyone else?

It'll damage our case

if the killer finds out.

That's my daughter.

Of course.

And you can't think of anyone in her life

who you believe is capable of doing this?

No. I mean, there are many people

who are capable, but, uh...

I don't know why anyone

would do something like this.

You have a past here, right?

What do you mean?

She was marrying Mikhail Abramov's son.

He's Russian mob.

Oh, is he?

The same group of men

you ran with 20 years ago.

Who told you that?

I'll give you some privacy.

Don't worry, my baby.

You're gonna be well.

And those who did this to you

will cry tears ofblood.

This I promise you.

The cop at the end of the wing

told me you were here.

How's my baby?

She sustained some serious

internal damage.

A sharp object punctured her chest cavity.

She's suffered blunt trauma

to the head and neck.

Doctor, listen to me.

When you're gonna talk to me about her,

look me in the eyes.

She'll recover.

It'll take time, but she's very lucky.

Let's keep the luck going.

If there's anything at all,

you call me at this number.

Stephan seemed pretty torn up...

naturally, I guess.

- I mean, you'd expect that, right?

- Yeah.

Listen. I'm gonna pass on that ride home.

Having a nice day?

Sorry.

I guess I should have knocked.

I lost someone I loved,just like you.

So, that puts us in the same boat?

Yeah, I guess so.

Fact is, I want revenge as much as you.

But let's face it... I don't have the same skills

in this area as a man like you.

What do you know about my skills?

I know what I see.

You're a dangerous man, Ruslan.

You want revenge.

So do I.

I will find the people who did this.

Believe me.

I can help you.

I don't want to be involved,

but I know a man...

who can help you get the tools you need

for a job like that.

Why does that not surprise me?

I'm a lawyer.

These are the people off whom

I make my money.

Now,you know what?

I'm gonna write this man's

number down right now...

because I know you're not gonna want

to waste any time.

That's true. I won't be.

By the way, I, uh...

I tried to arrange to have

Lanie placed beside her mother...

but the morgue wouldn't release the body.

When this is over,

I will take Lanie's ashes...

back home with me.

So the lawyer says we're not

gonna use any names...

Ruslan from L.A.

So you go to Wal-Mart for your clothes

but not your guns, huh?

What, you can't wait?

You got a little problem with the wife?

No.

So what do you need? Sure shot?

Hole in the door?

Spray the school yard?

- Thirty-eight.

- You know disco's dead, right?

Thirty-eight doesn't leave brass.

Maybe I can test-fire just a little bit.

You a cop?

'Cause I'm starting to get that feeling.

No.

Shooting little bit

far to the left and high.

Maybe I can have another shot.

See? It's good now.

So, let me pay you guys.

You look familiar. We do business before?

Never met.

Well, I don't like this.

There's something about you that's off.

- You patted him down good,yeah?

- Yeah.

Look, brother, this is good money.

Let me pay you

and get the f*** out of here.

Just hold on to that for a second.

He talks like a cop, Dino. That's exactly

the kind of entrapment sh*t a cop would say.

What's this?

- It's from the man.

- No sh*t.

This note's about you.

It's not good.

F***!

#Late last night I went to sleep

and found myself#

Told you I wasn't a cop, b*tch.

Ruslan. Oh, please, Ruslan.

I just finished cleaning

after your last visit.

You shouldn't have to clean up.

What he is doing here?

It is...

I'm not going to hurt him.

Don't worry. Okay? Don't worry.

Don't worry.

You loved my daughter, right?

Why are you asking me that?

Well, I see you brought your daddy.

Ruslan.

- Misha, Misha, Misha.

- You're back.

If I said it's good to see you again,

I would be lying.

Please, sit now.

And you, my son...

You still recognize me.

I suppose I should be grateful.

Sorry about Katya and your daughter.

Can't even imagine

how bad you must feel now.

And Stephan...

He's very sad over...

Yeah, I'm sure he's sad.

Well, I do really hate to go

away from here thinking...

in any way you can blame my son

for whatever that scum did to your family.

I've come here for a reason,

and that is...

I feel that, uh, you have to come with me

to get revenge.

- I told you I'm not a gangster.

- Yeah, but listen.

You don't have to be a gangster...

to take revenge when someone kills

your wife or your child.

This is what any real man would do.

- What do you have in mind?

- Take a ride. Ask some questions.

Look around.

See what I can see.

That's the Ruslan I remember.

And what if you come up dry?

I'll leave.

Take my daughter's ashes and go.

You and I... We were raised

by the same code.

Don't forget that.

He has to do this.

If he's a real man, he has to do it.

Get the hell out ofhere.

Ilya...

Said you're never gonna be back.

We had a deal.

You know, life is a funny thing.

No one can tell

what the future will bring.

We had a deal, Mikhail. Apact.

Now you're here. After everything,

you treat me with no respect, huh?

Respect?

You have to earn this.

Remember who you're dealing with.

Let's go.

Follow them.

Be ready if I call.

Mind your manners.

Forget about him.
