Jack Nicholson you know.

Anyone with a brain cell knows him.

Lelous Delafilace.

For Christ's sake.

Jean Renoir?

I don't wanna play anymore.

Meanie.

Okay. What do you wanna do?

You wanna f***?

The mouth on you!

Since we're going to bed, yeah.

You wanna do the

Florentine thing again?

Which one is that?

Whoo!

News 4 Detroit,

with John Blunt and Jennifer Moore.

Don Shane with sports,

and Larry Shannon with the weather.

Good evening.

Americans are beginning to understand...

I'll leave you

a couple of smokes.

...we are disliked

by much of the Muslim world.

Thank you.

Phones have been

ringing off the hook...

Why is it so loud?

...all night tonight

here in our newsroom.

- People asking about a recall...

- Yoo-hoo, Marsh?

You call Mickey to see

when Frank will be back?

I told you no one answered.

So, this is the Lucy Anne.

Which one do you like?

That one.

I thought you liked the green.

Can I please go to the mall?

The mall? It's 8:30 at night.

- No. Nothing's open.

- How many rings?

What? GIRL:
What?

How many rings did you

give it when you called?

Oh, my God,

what is the matter with you?

Did that car accident turn my

husband into a crazy person?

So this is the same

girl you're talking about?

See her every day.

She's not an island girl?

American girl.

Long hair, very good-looking.

No, I hear you.

I hear you, bro. I hear you.

Sexy. I think

she's connected to the guy.

There are 14

hospitals in the Detroit area

which are prime candidates

on the commission's list.

Most of the hospitals on the

list are smaller hospitals,

among them

Dearborn Medical Center.

Center Administrator

William Harris

claims having fewer hospitals...

You done playing doctor?

You gonna tell me or

keep it to yourself?

So Walker said he's staying at

his place by the golf course.

What else?

And he's got a lady with him.

You said you seen

him with women before.

See, I knew he liked the ladies,

but I didn't know he

was going down there

to see the same lady every time.

I'm thinking he got,

you know, couple of friends,

couple of birds around town,

but no.

No. Walker says

the same one all the time.

Melanie.

I don't see the problem.

So he's got something on the side.

I didn't say it was a problem.

I just like to

know this man's sh*t.

Like, you know, what he up to,

what he doing down there. Like...

Who's this Melanie?

So let's call and ask him.

Not yet.

I filed.

You have?

Why didn't you tell me?

Talked to the lawyer on Friday.

He said the papers would be

delivered to the house on Tuesday.

So you came down here early.

Give her some time

to think about it.

And what's she gonna do?

Oh, she'll probably

go along with it.

She'll say things to her friends,

suck around for sympathy.

"Poor little thing."

"The prick."

What's she like?

What's she interested in?

Do you mind me asking?

No, I don't mind.

Uh, my drinking, that's a popular subject.

"How many drinks have you had, Frank?"

Or, "Where's Bo? It's late.

He's not home yet."

Bo, that's something I'm gonna have

to deal with in the settlement.

She is his mother.

I'm not gonna argue that.

But it's all right.

He and I'll see each other.

I'd like to meet your son.

Well, someday you will,

if you don't take

that big canvas bag

of yours and take off somewhere.

I'm not gonna take off. Hmm.

Yeah?

I wanna go to the bathroom.

You got the mask?

Oh, yeah. Hold on.

You think that dude

is still in the closet?

You hit him.

I didn't hit him that hard.

You hope you didn't.

Oh.

Okay.

All right. Oh, God.

Okay. Now, when you get in

here and the door's closing,

you can take off the mask

and do your business.

There you go.

What in the hell are you doing?

Jesus Christ.

It's my house, ain't it?

What's the matter with you?

Don't like it?

You two can go

somewhere else for all I care.

Let's hurry up

in there. You done?

No, not yet. My mask is off.

Hey, Richard. Come here, man.

We gonna need you to

get back in the uniform

and get back out in the field

and do some reconnaissance work.

Go to the lady's house,

gain access to the premises.

Just go to Dawson's house and make

sure the guy Marshall's not dead.

Basically.

Okay.

He was upstairs, in the closet.

Oh, this is unbelievable.

Yeah, I know.

It's a little strange.

You watch the news?

Yes.

There's nothing about you

on the 7:
30 or the 8:00.

Why you think?

What are you asking me for?

You got something

going with that guy?

He's a friend of the family.

Well, he must be the godfather,

bringing you martinis to your

bedroom while your husband's away.

How come he

didn't call the police?

I don't know! He could

be dead or in a coma.

You hit him with

something, right?

We checked.

He let himself out.

So now,

we waiting on the 11:00 news.

What we mean is

we don't know Marshall,

or what he's got to lose,

but is he the kind of guy who'd

stick his neck out for you?

Honestly, guys, I don't know.

I don't know.

Are you gonna get that?

I don't know.

Did you want me to get it?

No, I got it. I'll get it.

You stay in bed.

Go back to sleep.

Yeah.

Good evening, Frank.

Hope I'm not disturbing

your lovely evening.

Who is this?

Hold the line.

Your wife would like to speak with you.

My wife?

No, he's got it. Go ahead.

Frank? Frank.

Who was that?

I don't know!

Where are you?

I don't know, Frank.

Is this some kind of joke?

No. They want you...

Are you all right?

No, I'm...

Who was I just talking to?

Shh! Frank, stop.

Would you just please listen to me?

Are you all right?

They want you to hear my voice,

that's all that I know.

Who's they? What's going on?

Good.

- You're okay. You're okay.

- You did good.

Hello? Hello? What... Hello?

Who the f*** is this?

Hello? Mickey?

Mr. Dawson, how you doing?

What the f*** is going on?

And how's Melanie?

We understand she's got a great bod.

Who the f*** is this?

Who am I?

Well, I'm not allowed to tell you that,

Mr. Dawson.

But I can tell you this.

Tomorrow morning, you're gonna go

to the Providence Bank & Trust

and draw $1 million

out of your account.

You know what I can tell you?

You're out of your f***ing mind.

Dawson,

I think you better quit talking and listen

'cause you're in deep sh*t, man.

Are you listening?

You draw the one million

in a cashier's check

and deposit it at

the same bank...

Are you kidding me?

Are you listening?

To account number 8950039.

Hello? You write it down?

No. I don't have a pen.

What are you gonna do about that?

Jesus Christ!

Get a f***ing pen, Frank!

Put my wife back on the goddamn phone.

How hard can it be? Shut up!

Who the f*** do you

think you're talking to?

Shut up and listen!

I'm gonna call the cops!

If you go to the police,

listen to me,

you will never

see your wife again!

You do anything but put

the money in that account,

you'll never see

her alive again!

She's gone! Plus,

we know about the money!

We know about

Dynamic, Ray Shelby,
