to any wrong conclusions.

Why don't you explain it to me?

The policies of our government

are not popular here in America.

The police department here

is overrun with blacks.

They have badges and guns

and they hate us.

Our consulate, its staff...

...and particularly myself will always

be targets for their harassment.

Things are getting out of hand.

There are too many losses. We'll

move the cash in one large shipment.

We'll need more than a suitcase.

l'll worry about that.

You worry about the police.

Your warning did not work.

-Let's go, Leo!

-l'm coming.

Come on! Move!

Okay! Hey, they're cops, okay?

l've got to eat, too.

Give me the food.

Who ordered the super combo?

l get a steak sandwich.

Who gets Leo?

You got a big empty house. l got

a trailer. What will l do with him?

My place is too small. You take him.

l had him last night.

Excuse me, fellows.

This is tuna. l hate tuna.

l refuse to get stuck with tuna.

-Don't eat the tuna.

-l just said that!

l'm not eating tuna. Let's go back.

We're not going back! Shut up!

Sure, don't go back.

Okay, don't go back!

Let me give you

a friendly piece of advice.

Never go through the drive-through.

Always walk up to the counter.

Let me tell you why.

They f*** you at the drive-through!

They know you'll be miles away

before you find out you got f***ed.

You won't turn around and come back.

So who gets f***ed? Leo Getz.

l'm not eating this tuna!

Shut up! !

Get rid of that man.

You're going to have

to leave the premises right now.

The morning faxes.

What's the matter?

He kick you out of the house?

l want you to bite Leo for me.

What are you doing?

l'm cleaning up this pigsty.

l like this pigsty.

When did you last do the refrigerator?

Or the pan under it?

There's a pan under there?

Where's my phone?

Where's my TV? What have you done?

Everything is outside.

Just stop what you're doing.

-Get the dog out of here!

-You go before the mutt.

Out, out! Oh, man.

lt's Collins.

Has Murtaugh checked in with you?

No. Why?

l haven't heard from him.

He doesn't answer his phone.

l'll be right there.

Stay in the car.

l'm upstairs!

Should l call 999, officer in distress?

l'll cover the back!

-Where are you?

-l'm up here.

ln here.

Good morning.

First time in 20 years...

...l get the bathroom to myself.

No kids banging on the door.

No wife asking me to hurry up.

Just me and my new

Saltwater Sportsman magazine!

The one with the article

on deep-sea fishing?

So l'm reading about marlin

fishing in the Gulf of Mexico...

...when l glanced over.

Oh, Jesus.

ls that all?

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Scared the sh*t out of you?

How long you been here?

l've been here all night.

My legs are so numb

l don't know if l can--

Don't move.

l can't.

Just stay that way. Do you mind?

lt's a dirty job,

but someone's got to do it.

Tell me l'm not f***ed.

He's f***ed.

Okay, but l'd be lying.

You'll be okay if you don't stand up.

That's a relief.

-l have to get help.

-No way!

Why?

l'm on the toilet. Give me a break.

This is serious.

l got to get the bomb squad here.

Bomb squad?

Okay, call them in.

Don't use the open frequency.

Let's try to keep this quiet, okay?

Sure. Trust me.

An escort is really not necessary.

l know you're a psychiatrist,

but it's not a pretty sight.

l have helped policemen

through very traumatic moments.

There is nothing in this room

that l cannot handle.

l was wrong.

Excuse me.

l should've known,

where there's one, there's the other.

You're a psychiatrist?

l have these dreams.

lt's ready to come out.

l got to live in this house!

Clear this room.

Come on, Riggs.

You, too, Riggs.

No.

Riggs, out.

All right.

Dive into the tub.

Then pull the bomb blanket

over your head.

This cast iron tub

will withstand a hell of a blast.

l can't.

He can't.

He's been on there for 18 hours.

He can't even walk.

l'm gonna have to help him.

All right, you better wear this.

The nitrogen?

Almost there.

He's spraying this thing

with liquid nitrogen...

...to give you 1 or 2 seconds

before detonation.

-Got that?

-2 seconds. Thanks a lot.

Lights out.

Get him up and out.

Good luck.

You got a piece?

-Yeah, a Smith and Wesson.

-Try this one.

Safety's on. l'll collect it later.

Good luck.

Alone at last.

Why didn't they plant the bomb

in Trish's stove?

All the needless suffering

could have ended there.

l'm going to die on a toilet.

Guys like you don't die on toilets.

And l'm here

and l don't plan on going now.

Let's do it.

On three.

Wait, let me get into the tub.

l'm just going to give you--

On three, huh? What do you say?

One...

...two--

Wait.

Do we do it on three, or...

...one, two, three...

-...then do it?

-lt's your ass. lt's up to you.

My ass, yeah.

Three.

We go on three?

One, two and then three!

One....

Martin?

l know.

l mean it, man.

l hear you.

We're not going to die, all right?

On three.

Get off me. l don't want anybody

to see us like this.

Mr. Jones?

Sit down.

What can l do for you today?

l have this problem,

this very delicate matter.

My friend wants to emigrate

to South Africa.

Of course, l can help him do that.

l want you to talk him out of it.

Talk him out of it?

Whatever for?

This is a bad time for him to go,

with all the trouble.

Have him come back later

in the week and we'll sit down...

He's here.

Yeah, he's here now. Alphonse?

There must be some mistake.

Say, what?

Listen to your friend.

He knows what he's talking about.

l don't think you want to go

to South Africa.

Why not?

Because you're black.

You are.

He is.

Of course l am black.

That's why l want to go.

To join my brothers in the struggle...

...against the racist...

...fascist...

...white minority regime!

Fascist regime!

One man, one vote!

Free South Africa, you son-of-a-b*tch!

l've heard as much as l want to.

You must leave.

What's happening?

Don't touch me! Back off!

Close the security gate! Quickly!

End apartheid now!

You going to arrest me

if l don't shut up?

One man, one vote!

Free South Africa! Give me that flag!

You can't push me out!

You call this security?

More people come in and out of here

than Grand Central Station.

Wait, gentlemen!

Don't bother to call the police.

l'm here already.

l should have known.

Well, well.

The master race.

l hope you realize

the trouble you are in right now.

As usual, you people have everything

upside down and turned around.

Gentlemen...

...show Officer Riggs into the street.

Fingers off.

Hands off!

Let me see that.

That's a piece of hardware you got.

Where do you get that stuff?

l've never seen it.

Where's it from, South Africa?

Don't move.

You haven't heard about me? l got a

bad reputation. Sometimes l go nuts.

Don't move.

l'll make a deal with you, Arjen.

Or is it Aryan?

Whatever the f*** your name is.

You fold up your tents...

...and get out of my country...

...and l won't do anything to you.

l'll leave you alone.
