Hello.

Stevie!

No.

Then why in the

holy f*** are you handling a phone...

that's not yours, where's Steve?

He's tied up in my bathroom right now.

Tied up in... who are you?

Where's Andrea?

Who are you?

Where's Andrea?

Are you that

Jack scumbag that's giving me trouble?

I'm Jack.

Motherf***er!

Put Steve on the phone.

Where's Andrea?

Put him on

the f***ing phone, you f***ing f***!

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, yeah, the girl...

the girl with the lip thing?

That's her.

Yeah... that was us.

- Why?

- I don't know.

We were hired, I think.

I mean, I'm kind of new.

I'm not really the guy to talk to about that.

Where is she?

I don't know that, either.

We just dropped her off to

the guy that hired us... so...

You weren't at the docks last night?

I don't even know what that means.

I got a call, that if I

didn't show up at the docks...

at midnight, they'd kill her.

Oh, yeah, last night, right?

Midnight.

Yeah, no, we... they dropped

her off earlier than that.

Maybe around 5:
00?

- To who?

- I don't know, man, please?

I'm sorry. Please don't kill me.

- Yeah.

- Never hold me on the phone.

What's wrong with your f***ing head?

This isn't a f***ing

game. I'm not playing.

Who did you drop Andrea

Huntsman off to yesterday?

Stop f***ing interrupting me, you f***ing

f***! What the f*** is wrong with you? I...

Derrick again.

Can I talk to him?

What are you going to say?

I'm gonna tell him that I am fine

and he should leave you alone.

You'll do that?

Yeah, I don't want to die.

Put him on

the f***ing phone, you f***ing f***!

Hey, it's me, Derrick. No, no, it's Steve.

No, just talk slower, okay?

No, he hasn't hurt me...

again, not since the diner.

Could be worse. No, no, I

don't think that's a good idea.

No, that's a bad idea. That

was bad, no, no, don't do that.

He... he hung up.

What's happening?

They're sending someone over.

- Here?

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

They're right outside?

- Yeah.

- Do you know who they're sending?

- Personally?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, a little bit. I mean, it's

Vinny, he plays pinball, right, so...

Would you be broken up if I murdered him?

Are you gonna kill me?

- Probably not.

- Then I got no problem with it.

Ugh... he's here.

Oh, f***, man, I'm sorry.

How did you find me anyway?

The guy we dropped the girl off to, he gave

us your hang contact info and hang out areas.

You know, we were... they were,

uh, mad about the dock thing.

Good to know.

Yeah... yeah, thanks. Holy, f***.

Here he is!

You were supposed to leave.

I needed a minute.

Shut up.

Let's go, Jack.

All right, leave her behind.

Fine, whatever... come on!

Again?

- I know.

- Oh, my god.

Are you good to go now,

because I'm leaving?

Yeah, are you sure I can have this?

Go nuts. I'll sell something

if I need the money.

See you around.

What, are we done? You're not gonna...

Looks like it.

Leginum... Convictio...

Scientia... V er titia.

Hey, up.

Oh, wow, Jack. What's shakin'?

Those mobsters you owe money

to, do you know who they are?

I don't know what you're talking about.

The mobsters who split your leg?

Oh, yeah, hard to forget.

Do you have any idea who they were?

No, I've never seen them before. I

think they're more like hired goons.

Are you supposed to be in here?

Sure. Where'd you take the loan out from?

I met up with some guy to give me a loan...

to pay off my student loans.

It was at some bar-like thing.

What's it called?

Um, Arcudi's.

The head honcho there, last

name happen to be Miller?

No, no, no, no, Arcudi.

Yeah, I think his name

was the same as the bar.

Does a first name come to mind?

Alex. Alex Arcudi.

I didn't think he'd ever

do something like that.

But, uh, Jack... I never got

a chance to say thank you.

You know, I...

No! No! You said I would

never see you again...

and here you are, an hour later.

I need a car and a driver this time.

You're a murdering lunatic. Go steal a car.

I need someone to take Andrea.

You know where Andrea is?

- I think so.

- F***! F***.

If that's the case, I need someone

on standby when things come together.

No, I am so f***ing screwed

up from tonight, Jack.

If you do it, I'll give

you this duffel bag...

and your family, and your family's

family will never have to work again.

I don't know what you don't

understand about this. I refuse.

Okay?

You're probably just gonna go

kill another room full of people.

- You are?

- Probably.

Come on! F***!

So, you're like a vam...

Can we not speak of it.

Are you telling me that you guys exist?

Yes, but I'm it.

How come you don't have the... teeth?

Why would I need them?

Um, that means that you...

No, don't, don't. Stop... please.

Okay.

So, the... the Civil

War... what was that like?

I don't know. I was in China.

Here we are.

- You can stay here.

- Yeah, I was going to.

Give me your telephone number, so I can

call and let you know what's going on.

609-555-4382.

- Okay.

- 609...

I got it.

Right, of course you do.

Is that a finger?

Let me in, Gary.

Not tonight, Jack. F*** off somewhere else.

Open the door.

Not happening, Jack.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, where

do you think you're going?

Hey, buddy, where you going?

Hey, a**hole, I'm talking to you!

What the f*** was that?

Did you f***ing shoot somebody?

Man, didn't you hear that sh*t?

He just f***ing murdered Gary!

- Who?

- That dude!

Who the f*** did you shoot?

Also, that dude!

I don't get it.

You might want to clear out.

Okay.

Agh!

Are you Derrick?

Yeah, motherf***er!

I'm gonna have to call you in a bit.

Where's Andrea?

Where's Gary?

Do you really want to

slow this process down?

F***! Agh! No!

It wasn't supposed to play like this!

What does that mean?

Oh, god, that's right. You're strong.

Yup.

Don't go anywhere.

Those are called books, Jack!

Shut the f*** up.

Get away from me. No, don't.

Andrea... it's me, Jack.

I'm getting you out of here.

Can you walk?

I...

Okay, okay. Stay here.

I'll be right back.

Sh*t, I didn't get anywhere!

Ow, agh.

I have Andrea.

Meet me outside the front

door. I'll be right there.

I have to say, I'm shocked...

shocked that you came back for her.

I didn't... you're not the

reason I'm here, either.

All this is for me.

What the hell you doing?

I want you to stay put.

No, no, no!

No, no, no!

Agh!

I'll be back.

Whatever!

Oh, my god... she needs an ambulance.

No... she'd be the last

priority if they came here.

Now, hold on, what do you want me to do?

Take her to the hospital,

forget you ever knew me.

No, no, Jack, she's really hurt.

Oh, my god, no. I need help.

- You'll make it.

- Okay, what are you going?

I'm staying.

Jack, what the hell does that mean?

It means I'm staying,

now get her out of here!

No, Jack! Jack! Jack! F***.

Okay.

Oh...

ha-ha-ha.

Is there anything I can

say to make you leave.

I've killed nine-year-olds

for no reason at all.

What makes you think you have a chance?

Heh-heh... oh, f***!
