And after you die, I have

a dead man hanging on my arm!

Look! Listen to me.

When I die, it'll be

on Chicago concrete.

You got it?

- Now, f***ing move.

- Let go.

Walk!

Stop! You're hurting me.

I wanna know what happened.

I wanna know why you and your

boyfriend set up Deveneux.

And what you get

for killing a man.

I wanna know how

you killed my partner.

- Who's your boyfriend?

- He's not my boyfriend.

- Who is he then?

- He runs Algiers.

Runs Algiers?

What the hell is that?

I belong to him.

No sh*t. What does that mean?

What do you think?

I think it means Losado

got himself a two-bit hooker.

When I was 13, Mama took me to Losado.

He gave her a house

and some money.

And I was his.

I was given to him.

Every hooker's got

a hard-luck story.

That's a real prizewinner, that one.

I don't care if you don't believe me.

You don't matter!

Wrong.

I matter a whole lot, lady.

You're going to jail,

and your boyfriend's gonna die.

What are you doing?

Can't you read?

Nothing. Not a crumb.

Come on.

Great!

What is it?

You never had crawfish before?

Sure, my mom used to

put them in my lunch.

No, not like that.

Like that.

See, you take them,

and you break the head off.

You suck the juice out of it.

Good?

Yeah, it's good.

Do you have a wife?

Yeah, ex.

Ran off with some guy.

What'd you do?

- What do you mean?

- Well, did you go after him?

She just left me, that's it.

That's all there was.

What's so funny?

You're a tough guy, a cop.

And you didn't do anything?

All right, what happened?

She calls me up and says,

"Eddie...

...I think if you and David

sat down and had a beer...

...you'd really like each other. "

So you took him out for a beer?

Yeah, I really nailed him.

Stuck him with the tab.

You're not from there.

You wouldn't understand.

Don't get excited now.

It's like rain somewhere.

Somewhere pretty.

God, I wish I was far away.

Forget.

Just forget.

Yeah, let's forget.

You're good, lady.

You are...

...really, really good.

This how you played it with that dumb,

dead jerk in Chicago? Deveneux?

Give some guy a hard-on.

Next thing, he's getting

killed for you.

A whore's a whore.

Goes with the territory.

You don't know me.

You don't know anything

about my life.

You don't know anything about my life.

I do know one thing.

Joey Collins is dead

because of you.

And you stood there,

and you just watched, didn't you?

Didn't you? Didn't you?

You don't know what

I've seen in my life.

Do you think that was the worst?

You think that was the worst?

You wanna hear something about it?

Do you?

Losado will kill you.

That's what I'm gonna watch.

I'm not a whore.

What?

I'm not a whore.

I've never been with anyone

except Losado.

Yeah, so?

I'm not a whore.

I'm a police officer.

Understand me?

Police officer?

A cop?

This is my prisoner.

Cop.

What are you saying to them?

Keep your mouth shut.

Do you speak any English at all?

This woman's under arrest.

She's my prisoner.

Don't touch her.

Take your f***ing hands off her!

Keep your f***ing hands off her!

Losado!

Losado!

That's right!

This is Losado's woman!

- Losado?

- Losado. You understand that?

He'll cut your hand off and scratch

your ass with it if you touch her.

Losado?

Yeah! Losado! Back off!

They called Losado.

- This his operation?

- Yes.

He works for him?

Deveneux?

He smuggles them in and sells them

to Deveneux. Is that it?

Deveneux got greedy?

Is that why they whacked him?

Why did you help me?

Why did you say Losado's name?

Tub of sh*t.

Turn your head.

Come on.

Get in!

No, you don't!

I don't get it.

Losado's in business with Deveneux.

Smuggles in cheap labour.

What were you doing

with Deveneux in Chicago?

And why did he want to kill Losado?

He said it was the only way.

Deveneux promised to help me.

Help you do what?

Get free from Losado.

What did you promise him?

I didn't promise him anything.

He was a gentleman.

Jesus Christ, this whole thing's

about you, isn't it?

Get out.

Don't move.

Don't even think about it.

Give it up.

- Police officer.

- Yeah, and I'm Tinkerbell, a**hole.

Handcuffs. Keep still.

Jesus Christ!

The next time you send someone here...

...advise them to exhibit a better

sense of professionalism and respect.

I don't know what you do in Chicago,

and I don't care...

...but it doesn't work down here.

Cop to cop, your boy has drowned

in his own puddle of mud...

...if you get my meaning.

I want to know why he's in

this piss-stained rat cage.

They're still pissed about the war.

Listen here, boy!

Cop to cop...

...I want this man out of here.

I want him showered, shaved

and polished up like it's payday...

...and the street is filled with

ladies that can't say no.

You get my meaning?

Do it.

You come here, lose your gun,

your star and your pants.

Got the girl.

With you, there's always a girl.

You better get it together, Jillette.

If they have their way,

you'll be maggotshit...

...turning big rocks into little ones.

They got the decks marked and wired.

Life cheats, Jillette.

Oh, you're a treasure, Stemkowski.

- That's what your ex-wife says.

- My ex?

If you want out of here,

keep your mouth shut.

I have Ms. Duval's sworn affidavit...

...that she did in fact meet

Mr. Jillette in Chicago.

That he presented himself

as an assassin for hire.

That he went off with my cousin Paul...

...and that Detective Collins

went out of the hotel by himself.

Since you have no evidence

placing Miss Duval at the hotel...

...I suggest you drop criminal

proceedings against her.

I understand she's a witness

against a Mr. Losado.

She maintains she didn't see anything.

Ask her.

Thank you for your summary.

The Chicago Police apologizes for any

inconvenience we caused this woman.

When a fellow officer is murdered...

...we go to extraordinary lengths

to pursue the slightest lead.

I received word from Chicago

that we apprehended a prime suspect.

We need Detective Jillette

back to identify him.

This man came into my home.

He threatened me.

He frightened my family.

- He destroyed my car.

- We've already paid for the car.

You're missing my point.

He's dangerously unstable.

He has no business being

a police officer.

And I'm gonna see he's put away.

He abducted this woman.

He threatened to kill her.

Ask her.

What happened between this man and me

doesn't concern you or the law.

Sign this, please,

so I can get rid of these guys.

My client can't read.

Thank you. You're free to go.

Don't let her out of your sight.

I don't wanna see either

of you guys...

The plane leaves in five minutes.

I don't particularly like you,

Jillette.

I don't wanna hold hands,

walk in the moonlight...

...and I don't wanna swap spit.

I want that son of a b*tch Losado.

What the hell? Lawrence!

Don't forget.

I'm very unstable.

I'm a lawyer.

I had to say that.

Guys like you...

...always think you can walk away

from things like this, don't you?
