One for the Money Page #8

and I'm pretty sure Carmen is, too.

So unless you find Ziggy's gun somewhere,

I'm fresh out of luck.

Now, give me some light, please.

- Carmen?

- Yeah.

Her body was at Sal's this whole time.

They must have been trying to

dump the body when they got shot.

Okay, that's it. I'm calling the police.

Jesus, Stephanie, come on. I am the police!

Jesus. Oh, God.

- Is that Ramirez?

- Yeah.

That's just great.

Crap.

I got a gun! I forgot, I got a gun.

Lipstick. Tastykake.

Stephanie, do something.

I'm looking for my gun!

I know it's here. I found it!

Okay. Can you move a little?

- Shoot him!

- No, you're sort of in the way.

I can't get a clear shot.

I'm not comfortable with this.

- You're not comfortable?

- I don't like this. You know what?

- I got something better.

- Better for who?

- I'm finding it!

- Stephanie.

I got it. Hold on!

- Quick.

- Close your eyes, Morelli.

Are you all right?

Pepper spray, huh? That was nice.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, you're welcome.

Okay.

I got this. You find the guns.

Guns. Okay.

All right, big boy.

Jimmy. Mr. Alpha, thank God you're here.

Your guy, Ramirez...

Morelli and I came down here and

we just heard a couple of shots

and I'm pretty sure

he killed these two people.

We just got here and found them.

All right, Bo Peep.

Here, I want you to go

cuff Officer Romeo over there.

Come on. To the rail. Come on. Now!

Come on, come on. Hurry up.

What are you doing?

Now move away.

Good, good, good.

All right, so this guy walks into a gym,

and it's Ziggy Kuleska,

and he says to me, he says,

"Hey, you could make a ton of money

moving heroin."

And I'm thinking, "Absolutely not, man."

"You don't know me from Adam,

but I'm a decent guy."

You know, I'm always trying to do

the right thing,

but I gotta do what I gotta do

to hang in there.

So, now I'm in charge of money,

Ziggy's in charge of the dope,

we get Ramirez to enforce,

and all of a sudden, we get wind

that Carmen is talking to the cop.

The dirty, little, rotten whore.

She knew better.

And I know

she called you for help that night,

but you should've stayed at home.

'Cause she was already dead

when you got there.

You know that, right?

So, I'm gonna tell you two

how this is gonna go down, okay?

So, my boy Ramirez here is gonna come to.

Come on, Ramirez. Come on, get up.

And he's gonna rough you guys up a little.

Well, actually,

he's gonna rough you up a lot.

And then I'm gonna finish everybody off.

Lots of prints, lots of guns.

I'm gonna pin it on him.

And the great thing about it is

I'm going to walk out a hero.

You got that?

What? What's the matter?

You're not feeling so good no more,

beautiful?

What, do you want to use the can?

You okay?

Jesus, Steph, you've been hit.

Thanks, Einstein.

You know, that's too bad,

'cause it was a pretty nice ass.

Morelli, you got to come up

with some better material.

I think you're going to make it, cupcake.

Come over here

and help me out of this, will you?

Steph?

What? Cuffs?

Steph?

Stephanie.

Plum. No, don't you even think about it.

Steph. No, no, no!

Open the door!

Open the goddamn door!

You had it coming, cupcake.

I had to leave Alpha

because I didn't have the stomach

to drag him in the cab with me.

And there was no way

I was opening that truck door again.

I figured if Ramirez woke up,

Joe would have the upper hand.

Plus, it might be good for him

to channel all that rage...

- Trenton PD.

- Dispatch, please.

...Into someone other than me.

- Dispatch.

- Yeah, I got two dead bodies,

a hit man, an FTA, and a bullet in my ass.

I'm requesting aid with the transfer.

I got Joe Morelli.

Fortunately,

Alpha's bullet only tore through

some unnecessary butt fat.

So, I can enjoy my victory lap

without too much pain.

- A meat truck?

- I've got bad luck with cars.

Here you go.

Joe Morelli, armed and very pissed.

Whoa!

I'll kill you, you goddamn freak show!

What is wrong with you?

Jesus Christ!

Why did you go and lock me

in a truck full of dead bodies for?

$50,000. I told you a million times.

And you handcuffed me

to my shower rod, naked.

Payback sucks. Sack up, Morelli.

- It's not over.

- No?

- Not yet.

- Can't wait to see what you got.

Enjoy your perp walk.

- I'm getting out soon, baby.

- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

For what it's worth, the wire.

Jimmy Alpha confessed. Morelli's clean.

But keep him on ice a while, will you?

Let him cool his boots.

Jeez, he's so mad.

- I could have taken a cab.

- No, babe. Come on, you got shot.

The universe owes you a fly ride home.

Oh, yeah. I am starving.

The hospital gave me oatmeal and juice.

Can you believe that?

Five clean shots to Jimmy Alpha's heart.

Five. That's not easy to do. I'm impressed.

The medical examiner sends his regards,

by the way.

Ramirez?

He spilled his guts.

He'll be a big hit in prison.

What about Morelli?

He's out and about.

Ziggy's gun was found under

Carmen's body.

Ziggy's prints were frozen on it.

Proves he was armed

when Morelli shot him,

so it was a clean kill.

He'll be coming after me next.

- Getting shot is a b*tch.

- Yeah.

Getting stabbed is worse.

I'm just saying.

You look pretty good

for someone who just got shot.

- All right, here we go.

- Thank you.

"For someone who just got shot"?

What is that?

She looks good, end of story.

You don't add on,

"For someone who just got shot."

- It wrecks the compliment.

- For real, Vin.

Yeah, somebody needs to teach

Mr. Bondsman some manners.

I guess the

interview went well.

Oh. Yeah, girl.

- Mr. Plum needed some assistance.

- Oh, this is gonna be good.

- Don't spend that all in one place.

- Yeah, whatever you say, Vinnie.

- Hey, Steph.

- Yeah?

I hear Morelli's looking for you.

Oh, yeah? I heard he was out.

That's good.

That's good for him.

This is gonna be interesting, huh?

Hey, get back to work...

Hey, get back to work, both of you.

Go. Go. Come on.

Jeez. Now I got two of them.

Plum.

Morelli.

I...

I saw this and thought of you.

Okay, if he can let go

of a grudge, so can I.

Plus, I'm not going to say no to a cupcake.
