Message from the King Page #4

First you fix our teeth,

then you suck our d*cks,

then you suck our blood.

F*** you, you tick. You f***ing nobody.

F***ing nobody f***ing dentist!

That 750, I'm still going to need it.

You said a hundred!

What are you talking about?

- I gave you a hundred!

- Not for Leary, Mike.

For me.

You're squeezing me?

You're f***ing squeezing me?

That's a f***ing loser's plan, pal.

You arranged all this!

It was your f***ing party!

Yes, but at your house.

I'm there, but I'm not in the room.

I'm not doing what you're doing, Mike,

and I'm just your f***ing nobody dentist.

Worst I get is a red face, but you,

everything you have, you'll be gone, Mike.

Out. Finito.

F*** you.

F*** you! F*** you!

- How is he?

- F*** you!

F*** you!

Are you okay, Mike?

- Is there anything I can do for you?

- No.

You take off. I'll see you in the morning.

Where are the boys?

Oh, uh, the usual.

Killing each other.

- Yes?

- This is Paul Wentworth.

- Frank Leary gave me your number.

- What's the job?

Pull over to the right.

Sh*t.

License and registration, please, sir.

Are you aware you should have registered

this vehicle two years ago, sir?

- It belongs to a friend.

- A friend?

Your license, please.

I'm sorry, officer,

my wallet's at my hotel.

You're required by law

to have your license with you

whenever you drive.

Yeah, my apologies. That was my mistake.

- Step out of the car, please, sir.

- You see, officer,

- I'm not from here.

- Step out of the car, please, sir.

- What's your name?

- Jacob King.

JJ Motel, 1723 Argyle,

room 210.

Jacob King.

Yeah, it's him.

What do you want us to do with him?

Yeah.

Call the police!

- Please!

- What the f***?

- They're gonna kill me!

- Mom, look!

Help me! Help me! Help me!

- Calm the f*** down.

- Please help me! Help me!

- Calm down!

- They're gonna kill me!

- Calm the f*** down!

- They're gonna kill me!

- Hey!

- Calm the f*** down!

Jesus.

Let's finish him here.

We can leave him in the dumpster.

He said the harbor, we do the harbor.

F*** the harbor. Let's just go.

Get the car.

Get the f***ing car.

Fine.

Hey!

You!

- What are you doing over there?

- Get the f*** out of here!

You a cop?

Yeah, what's it to you?

I said get the f*** out.

Okay. Okay, man.

We don't want no trouble.

F***!

Where the hell is he?

How the hell did you lose him?

What the f*** are we gonna tell him?

- If he finds out about this...

- No.

We tell him he's dead.

We tell him he's f***ing dead!

Jacob.

Okay. Hold on.

Okay, that's it. Okay. Okay. Keep going.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Oh!

Okay. Sh*t.

Oh!

You made a sound investment.

Problem's gone.

Good.

Good. Excellent.

I still want that 750. I'm giving you

48 hours. I'll be waiting for your call.

Jesus Christ, Paul.

You know what you are?

You're nothing

but a cheap blackmailing f***.

And what are you, Mike?

- Mr. Audubon...

- Susan.

- I've taken some pills. I think I'm dying.

- Susan.

- Get an ambulance!

- She just fell over.

Why are you just sleeping?

Did you get right back there?

That's right.

Okay, I love you. Sweet dreams.

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

How many times, guys?

- King's dead.

- All right, we checked the morgue.

Nobody pulled out of water.

No black John Does, either.

They all got names.

King's not one of them.

And the car he was driving?

Out of state plates.

- Where'd he get it, huh? Huh?

- Jesus, guys.

He stole it. Who knows?

Who f***ing cares?

Guy's far out to sea by now.

He's crab food.

Why Leary, Paul? Why take that risk?

My guys could have handled King.

Oh, yeah?

Like they handled him last time?

- What did the cops cost?

- Fifty large each. Preston paid.

Paid you? Or did you pay Leary?

I don't like this, Paul. Any of it.

There is sh*t you're not telling me.

There always is.

You leveraging Preston?

Is that it?

Huh?

What are you getting?

We're partners, Paul.

We split down the middle.

That's the deal.

I find out you're f***ing me again,

it'll be last time.

Don't get all Balkan on me, Duke.

You think my clients give a damn

who supplies me the drugs and the girls?

You think I do?

Bianca's dead and gone.

So's her brother.

Leary has also seen an increasing list

of high-profile local business leaders

and entertainment personalities

stepping onboard to endorse Leary

and his strong anti-City Hall,

anti-corruption...

What is this?

"Speak no evil."

Good words.

My little brother was "hear no evil."

Who could have thought...?

Bianca was "see no evil."

She was my sister.

The girl you asked me about in the photo.

We got the tattoos when we were kids.

Called ourselves "The Three Kings."

It was Bianca's idea.

Good thoughts, good words... good deeds.

Bianca always saw the good in everything.

What was your little brother's name?

Isaac.

He was so smart.

Such a little prankster.

So much so that...

he ended up in trouble...

in prison.

By the time he got out,

he had become affiliated

with one of the Numbers gangs.

With the gangs, in blood you go into them,

and only in blood do you get out.

After Isaac was killed...

Bianca couldn't see any good

in the Cape Flats.

She blamed me for his death.

Said I should have been able to stop it.

Maybe she was right.

She met her husband, ran away.

They came here.

Maybe I should have been able

to stop that, too.

Did you find her?

I found her in the mortuary.

She'd been beaten and tortured.

I'm so sorry.

Do you think it's the same people

who beat you?

Yeah.

She didn't think she could come to me...

until it was too late.

Maybe some people

don't wanna be stopped.

We're gonna give the lieutenant

a little concert.

Can you hear me, Lieutenant?

I want to ask you one question

and then you can go.

What are you looking for?

Maybe I can help you.

You've got nerve.

- You like crazy drums, Lieutenant?

- You like crazy drums, Lieutenant?

What happened, man?

Can you look at what's on this?

Yeah, I can try.

- It's a QuickTime file. A video.

- Yeah.

- You know the password?

- No, I don't.

Okay, it's encrypted,

and it's above my skill set,

but I know a person

who could hook you up.

It'll just take two or three days.

Maybe we can get to the audio.

Armand...

I want you to go with Mike.

Mike will take care of you.

Hi, Leary.

I get to suck the nation's dick.

I don't know, man.

Sounds like some kind of porno.

Sorry.

I just got some news.

That car King was driving

was registered in New Mexico.

Kelly Johnson.

She's staying at the same motel King was.

That's the news?

- King stole her car?

- No.

She never reported the car stolen.

Hey, Earth to Boot. Yoo-hoo.

I got pizza. You're crazy, come here.

I don't want you watching so much TV.

You'll turn into a zombie.

All right, there you go.

Do you want Sprite or Coke?

- Um, Sprite.

- Sprite it is.

Can I have some cookie dough

after dinner?

Uh, yeah, you can.

Hey, I got pizza for you.

It's pepperoni. So, wanna sit down?

Do you want some beer?
