Johnny Handsome

Yeah, my bar is cooking now...

...but when I first started the joint,

I had to get cash. Get a loan.

You know me, Johnny.

Just a poor boy from Shreveport.

Only collateral I ever took to a bank

was Dr. Smith & Wesson.

So who the hell's gonna give me

any cash?

I need a job, Johnny.

He gets every f***ing cent

I take in now.

All the time watching him add

the vig to the principal.

He owns half the paper

on my joint.

Pretty soon, he's just gonna own

the whole goddamn thing.

I need back in the game, Johnny.

Now, I know you're always

planning a hit.

I wanna bite. I need it.

I can't walk this time, Johnny.

I got no place to go.

I'm asking you for old times.

Holy f***.

We're working with him?

Sh*t, talk about hire the handicaps.

Why don't you give us all a break?

Put a bag on his head.

We hit them just before closing.

This way they'll be tired

and flushed with cash.

Sounds like he's already

got a bag on his head.

A scumbag.

Watch your mouth.

Johnny knows what he's talking about

on this number.

Now, you just keep

your goddamn ears open.

Ain't you got no sense of humour,

old man?

I was just having a little joke.

Maybe he's got another way

of settling up his debts. I don't know.

- Does he?

- Do you?

This is your deal.

But I don't like it.

And I don't like them.

See y'all later, Romeo.

It can happen.

Ain't no guarantees

in this line of work.

Two old people got in the way.

Look, I can handle this, cowboy.

Now, this number has

plenty of cash to go around.

Everybody's gonna be happy

and rich.

What a b*tch.

What are you gonna do?

Good help's hard to find.

Johnny, now, I know

you're doing this for me.

But you're already saving my ass.

You ain't gotta work it.

I can handle it. I handled worse.

Okay, buddy?

Did you see my new watch?

Well, good afternoon, sir.

I was looking to buy a present

for my boyfriend.

I wanna get him something...

I don't know, something real nice.

Is he a serious collector?

Oh, he ain't a serious anything.

He just likes coins,

you know what I mean?

Remember, when we get out,

sit in the back seat.

Don't let Rafe get behind us.

Johnny, I got something

for him and the b*tch...

...just in case they get smart.

That is a museum piece.

It don't look that old, does it?

How much would a little coin

like that cost?

Its current value is $77,280.

My God.

What the hell was that?

Okay, buddy.

What the hell do you think

you're doing?

- Please...

- Shut the f*** up!

You're late, a**hole.

Let's clean the place out!

Move your f***ing ass, pops!

Shut up and bag it, b*tch!

- Stupid f***er.

- No!

- What the f*** are you doing?

- The shithead hit the alarm.

- Cover the door, a**hole!

- Get the goods!

Okay, let's do it.

Come on, come get your share.

Hey, I got something for you, boy.

Come on, get the geek.

Get that f***ing geek!

Yeah!

Hey, fat boy, move your ass

and help with these bags.

What the hall happened?

Where's Mikey and Johnny?

They're right here, baby.

Open it up.

Well, they told me an old friend of mine

had made the house of D again.

Hell, I couldn't hardly believe it.

Had to come see for myself.

You know, Johnny, you ain't never

been much of sh*t to look at.

But at least up to now,

you ain't been altogether stupid.

And what I mean is,

you'll never even touch them.

You know it, and I know it.

You just tell me who they are

and where I can find them...

...and I'll take real good care of them

for both of us.

That old Mikey Chalmette...

Hell, he was just like

a big brother to you.

You and him spent

a lot of time together.

Including all that hard time

up there at Angola Farm.

Well, I just saw Mikey

down at the morgue.

Poor old bastard.

They really did a job on him.

You got nothing on me.

Deputy.

Oh, Johnny, guess what the boys

found down at the bus station.

You probably got people

feeling sorry for you...

...because you're such an ugly

son of a b*tch.

But not me.

Because I know what you are

on the inside.

Nothing but a cheap crook.

Here's how it sits.

Now, if you go to trial, they're gonna

push for the whole nine yards...

...that includes murder too.

Now, I ain't saying they got a case

without putting you at the scene.

But I am saying one thing:

They got your face to show the jury.

Now, with a little friendly persuasion

on my part...

...maybe I can get them to lower

the armed and accessory...

...for, say, a stolen properties.

I don't suppose you got anybody

to vouch for your character?

Then it's five years. Less if you're

willing to play ball with Drones.

- No.

- Maybe 28 months to parole...

...if you behave yourself.

Now, that's the best I can do with the

system here. You know how it works.

I'll make a deal.

Therefore, Mr. John Sedley,

it is the order of this court...

...that you shall be remanded to

the state penitentiary farm at Angola...

...for a term of

not less than five years...

...subject to the laws and conditions

as set forth by the state of Louisiana...

...and the parish of Orleans.

You will be remanded over

by the bailiff...

...to the proper authorities

for transport.

The prisoner is reminded that he is

now a two-time felony offender.

If, upon release, he is

again convicted of a felony...

...he will be subject to a life sentence

without possibility of parole.

Guys that stuck you,

you know what they got?

A grand each in cigarettes.

So it was probably somebody

who thinks that murder's cheap.

Maybe like the guy

that just took over Mikey's bar.

Cowboy named Rafe.

You know this badass.

You know what he did.

All right, Johnny.

Maybe I'll see you around,

but I kind of doubt it.

I don't think Rafe will

mess up on you a second time.

Then nobody will be getting even

for Mikey.

Not me. Certainly not you.

Nobody.

Can you hear me, John?

Do you understand me?

You are in the lockdown ward

at St. Matthew's Charity...

...and you are back

in the city now, John.

I'm Dr. Steven Resher,

Department of Corrections...

...and liaison

to the medical community.

I am not your regular doctor.

I run a program that deals

with reconstructive surgery.

How would you like a new face?

Patient may need

mandibular procedure, period.

However, comma,

patient may benefit more...

- Dr. Resher?

... from maxillary intrusion, period.

- Yes.

- A.Z. Drones, New Orleans Police.

Yes, I see. What can I do for you?

How's your patient, doctor?

- Which patient might that be?

- John Sedley.

You know, the pretty boy.

That is not a very nice thing to say.

Well, he's not a very nice man, doctor.

Now, how is he?

Look, doc, let's not let you and me

get off on the wrong foot here.

I'm the case officer

assigned to this boy.

Any information pertaining to him

is my business.

Now let me ask you again.

How is he? Is he going to be all right?

I see.

His chances of a full recovery

are excellent.

If you like, you may get a full report on

his progress daily from the staff nurse.

She gets off duty at 7.
