...no matter how tough

he thinks he is...

...no matter what he accomplished

in his whole life means nothing...

...if you squeeze this.

You can do it.

I can't.

Yes, you can, Maggie.

Anybody can kill.

No.

You're telling me that you would

rather die than kill him?

Yes.

You know what your

problem is, huh?

You're not mad enough, Maggie.

I don't care what you

think my problem is!

Think about it!

Five million dollars.

You know how much fun he's

gonna have with all that money?

I can't do it!

It doesn't bother you

that after you're dead...

...he's gonna be enjoying

life with his new girlfriend.

I can't do it!

They're not even gonna

remember you!

Come on! They're gonna make

babies together, Maggie!

Fck you! Fck you!

Fck you!

You're too pure, Maggie

My sister was pure like you.

And the real world swallowed

her up.

I know what happened to

your sister!

Shut up about my sister.

You killed her.

Mind your business

about my sister.

- You killed her.

- I didn't do anything.

You killed your own

flesh and blood.

That's enough!

I warned my sister to stay away

from him, but she didn't listen.

She said that they were in love

and they were gonna get married.

And they were gonna live

happily ever fcking after.

Just like you did.

I can still see her face

right in front of me.

What dress?

You're gonna let me

wear that dress?

I'm gonna let you wear it...

My sister was pure.

She was the only thing

I had left in the world.

I'm not gonna put a pin.

But you really bought it for me?

He knew there was

a contract out on him.

That's why he kept her with him

every minute of the day.

He knew I couldn't touch

him with her around.

So I went to his apartment

and I waited in the darkness.

And I said a prayer to myself

that he would be alone...

...when he walked

through that door.

But when I heard the keys

and them laughing, I knew.

I knew my prayers

weren't answered.

Don't move, a**hole.

- Tony, please don't hurt him.

- Get away from him, Maria.

- Stay by my side, baby.

- Tony, please don't hurt him.

- You fcked a lot of people.

- Hey, Tony, it was business, man.

You stole money from people

that trusted you.

- Hey, that's their problem.

- Tony, you can't hurt him!

Now it's my problem. I gotta pay

them back the money or I'm dead!

- Tony, please don't kill him.

- Maria, get away from him.

My die, she die!

- Please. Please.

- Put the gun down.

It's time.

- No.

- You should've taken my offer.

- I don't wanna die now.

- I got no choice.

- Tony I don't warina die now!

- I got no fcking choice.

Tony, please.

I don't wanna die.

I don't wanna die, Tony,

please. I don't wa...

Please. Please.

- Come here, you.

- Please.

Please.

- Tony!

- Goahead!

- Come on. Move!

- Please Tony!

Come on goahead!

Please. Please.

Don't do this.

Tony, please don't do this.

I gotta kill you.

Put the gun down or you're

fcking dead. You hear me?

- Goahead, kill me.

- Tony, please, please.

You're fcking dead! Maria!

- Tony, you have to listen to me!

- Stop it! Get away from her!

- Please don't, don't...

- Maria! Maria, get down!

- Maria, get away!

- Go 'head, kill her, you prick.

- Let's go.

- Maria!

- Come on!

- Maria!

I had to do it.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me. I had no choice.

I had to do it.

It was my fault. I...

If I would've left the apartment,

my sister would be alive now.

You killed her?

When I shot him, he pulled

the trigger on my sister.

It wasn't your fault.

You didn't mean to hurt her.

- It wasn't your fault.

- No, I had no choice.

- Just like now, I got no choice.

- No.

You do. You do have a choice.

You have a choice.

Tony, you have a choice.

- You do.

- How?

We could do this thing together.

Look, I don't care about

the money.

I don't give a sht about

the money.

I'll open the safe for you. You

can have all of it. I don't care.

- I never wanted to hurt you.

- I know that.

I know that. I know.

I know you didn't want to.

We've both been hurt.

We could help each other.

Let me help you, Tony.

- Let me help you.

- Help me?

Yes.

Just let me get close to you.

I could help you.

I could help you, Tony.

Help me.

I could help you.

I could help you.

I could help you, Tony.

- Margaret.

- Jack.

- Why aren't you asleep?

- Sweetheart, what happened?

That mess with the new foreman

took forever to clear up.

I ended up having to take

him to a bar...

...get him a couple of drinks...

Sweetheart, I thought something

had happened to you.

I was worried to death.

I told him he had

my full support.

I was so late,

I was gonna stay over...

Why are you so dressed up?

- It's our anniversary, honey.

- Yeah, I know.

That's why I decided to come back.

I have your gift.

- Jack.

- Happy anniversary.

Sweetheart.

My God, Jack. It's beautiful.

Here, put it on me.

I haven't seen you dressed up in

a long time. You look sensational.

Thank you.

I know things haven't been

right between us.

But maybe we can start over and

make them like they were before.

- I hope so.

- I brought some champagne.

I'll get some glasses.

- How was your day?

- I had a terrific day.

Yeah? What was so terrific

about it?

Did you ever have one of those

days where everything goes right?

Today was a disaster for me.

To twenty years.

- Twenty years. Twenty years.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, Just thinking.

- About what?

I don't know.

Twenty years.

It seems like a lifetime ago.

- But you look sad.

- No, I'm not.

I'm, just glad you're here.

Twenty years. wow.

Twenty years.

It seems like yesterday.

Sweetheart, sweetheart...

...do you remember those long

walks down Bainbridge Avenue?

And you were there with

your short skirts...

...and the cars were beepin'

their horns?

Hey, baby, where're you goin'?

They don't beep much anymore,

though, do they?

You're as beautiful

as the day I met you.

- Do you think so?

- Would I lie to you?

Sweetheart...

...did you ever go with a hooker?

- What?

- A prostitute.

Why do you ask me

somethin' like that?

Well, honey. come on, did you ever

pay a woman to have sex with you?

- No.

Never? Never, Jack?

Come on, I know those

guys you used to hang out with.

- You're telling me never?

- Okay, once...

...when I was a kid at a bachelor

party, yeah.

What's gotten into you?

Well for the past four months,
