money from Keyser Sze, sh*t like that.

It could be an old badge, a hex sign,

to keep people from f***ing with you.

- But you're here.

- Sh*t, yeah.

I got a guy trying to leave hospital on

a fried drumstick cos he's afraid of Sze.

Yeah, I'll run it up the flagpole.

I told it like it happened on the boat.

So what if I left out how I got there?

It's so full of holes, the DA would've

told me to blow amnesty out my ass.

- That's why you never told the DA?

- You tell me, Agent Kujan.

If I said the Loch Ness Monster

hired me, what would you say?

- Turn state's evidence, we'll hear it out.

- I got immunity. What can you offer me?

If there really is a Keyser Sze,

he's gonna come looking for you.

Where's your head? Where do you

think the pressure's coming from?

Keyser Sze, or whatever you

wanna call him, knows where I am.

He's got the front burner under your ass

to let me go, so he can scoop me up later.

Immunity was to deal with you.

I got a new problem when I post bail.

So why play into his hands?

We can protect you.

Gee, thanks, Dave.

Bang-up job so far - extortion, coercion.

Kiss my pucker.

The f***ers that rounded us up and sank

us are now bailing me out? F*** you.

You think you can catch Keyser Sze?

You think a guy like that comes this close

to getting caught and sticks his head out?

If he comes up for anything,

it'll be to get rid of me.

After that, my guess is

you'll never hear from him again.

What happened next?

The next morning Fenster was gone.

He couldn't handle slumming for Sze.

He left us a note wishing us good luck

and took a chunk of the money.

- Then what?

- McManus was furious.

He was talking about tracking him down

and ripping his heart out, all sorts of sh*t.

- That night we got the call.

- What call?

Kobayashi told us

where we could find Fenster.

Let's get the f*** outta here.

- We gotta bury him.

- With what?

With our hands.

This is nuts.

It's dry f***ing sand, McManus.

When he rots, the surfers

are gonna smell him a mile away.

- Dig, you f***!

- What we gonna do? He's gonna kill us.

I don't know about you, peg leg,

but I can run. I got no problem with that.

Kobayashi doesn't seem

to have a problem with it either.

If you run, we're gonna be

diggin' a hole for you. You got that?

This ain't my boy we're buryin'.

I don't owe anybody!

- So f*** you.

- He was my partner for five years.

We did more jobs and I saw more money

than you can ever count, so f*** you!

- Cos now it's payback!

- It's not payback!

It's precaution. You want payback,

you wanna run, I don't care.

I'm not doin' this for Fenster.

I'm not doin' it for you.

I'm doin' this for me.

I'm gonna finish this thing.

This Kobayashi bastard

is not gonna stand on me.

- After they killed Fenster nobody'd run?

- I wanted to. I thought we could make it.

- Why didn't you say anything?

- I tried, but Keaton wouldn't have it.

It was too far-fetched for him.

Keaton was a grounded guy, an ex-cop.

To a cop, the explanation is never

that complicated. It's always simple.

There's no mystery,

no arch criminal behind it all.

If you got a dead body and

think his brother did it, you're right.

Nobody argued with Keaton. They just

set their minds to whacking Kobayashi.

They're coming up.

Did you hear me? He's coming up.

He's on his way down.

Don't move.

Press 20. Do it now.

Move!

- The answer is no.

- Mr Sze will be most upset...

Listen, cocksucker, there is no Keyser

Sze. You mention him again, I'll kill you.

A strange threat. I can only assume

you've come here to kill me anyway.

We know that you can get to us.

But now you know that we can get to you.

I'm giving you one

last chance to call this off.

Mr S... My employer has made up

his mind. He does not change it.

Neither do we.

You got Fenster, but you won't get all of

us before one of us gets through to you.

I believe you, Mr McManus.

I most sincerely do.

You would not have been chosen were

you not suitable, but it's not my decision.

Whatever you threaten

me with is ludicrous

in comparison to what will be done to me

if I do not carry out my orders in full.

I'm the guy that's gonna get you.

I just wanted you to know that.

I'm so sorry, Mr McManus.

I implore you, Mr Keaton, believe me,

Mr Sze is very real and very determined.

We'll see.

Before you do me in, Mr McManus,

you will let me finish my business

with Ms Finneran first, won't you?

What did you say?

Edie Finneran.

She's upstairs in my office

for an extradition deposition.

I requested she be put on the case

personally. She flew in yesterday.

No matter.

Kill away, Mr McManus.

- You're lyin'.

- Am I?

Ms Finneran's escort while she's here in

LA. Never leaves her side for a moment.

I thought you'd be glad

to know she's in good hands.

Now rest. The boat will

be ready for you on Friday.

If I see you or any of

your friends before then,

Ms Finneran will find herself the victim

of a gruesome violation before she dies.

As, indeed, will your father, Mr Hockney,

and your Uncle Randall

in Arizona, Mr Kint.

I might only castrate

Mr McManus's nephew David.

Do I make myself clear?

We'll take care of the bodies downstairs.

We'll add them to the cost of Mr Fenster.

If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.

It's a logistical nightmare.

Close quarters. 10, maybe 20 men.

- No tellin' how many more are below.

- Can we stealth these guys?

Nah. With all that coke,

they're gonna be ready.

Which brings me to

sunny point number two.

Even if one of us gets through and

jacks the boat, we still got nothin'.

- What if we wait for the money?

- Ten more men at least.

In my opinion it can't be done. Anybody

who goes in there is not comin' out alive.

- I'm gonna wait for the money.

- Me, too.

- Did you hear what he just said?

- If I'm goin' in, I want a cut.

Me, too.

There's nothing that can't be done.

I just can't believe

we're gonna walk into certain death.

The news said it's raining in New York.

- What language is that?

- I don't know.

Russian, I think.

Hungarian?

Package has arrived.

You kids ready?

I would be, if I didn't have

to stop and answer you.

I'm ready. McManus,

you better be set up in ten seconds.

I'm ready.

I want you to stay here.

- I'm supposed to cover the...

- Listen, if we fail, take the money and go.

- Keaton, I can't...

- Find Edie, tell her what happened.

She knows people, she knows what to do.

If I don't get Kobayashi my way,

she'll get him her way.

- What if I...

- Just do what I say. Please.

Tell her that...

Tell her I tried.

McManus, he's on his way.

I'm there.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven.

Oswald was a fag.

Hi.

How ya doin'?

Is there a problem?

Fernando...

- Qu hace aqu?

- Nada.

- Aqu no puede pasar.

- No se puede pasar por aqu?

Mejor que se regrese.

Now.

? Old Macdonald had a farm

? Ee-eye, ee-eye, oh

? And on that farm he shot some guys

? Bada-boom, bada-bing, bang, boom

Elvis has left the building.
