Return to Paradise Page #4

You want me to pay you $150,000

267

00:
26:49,610 -- 00:26:53,738

for assuming what is, in fact,

your share of the responsibility?

268

00:
26:53,947 -- 00:26:59,368

No, not you. Lewis's estate.

I mean, they got the heavy money, right?

269

00:
26:59,578 -- 00:27:03,113

You come to New York on what was

pretty much a fishing expedition.

270

00:
27:03,332 -- 00:27:06,083

You stay on the Park,

eat here, not some coffee shop.

271

00:
27:06,293 -- 00:27:08,202

All right.

272

00:
27:08,420 -- 00:27:11,789

So I will draw up

the draft agreement tomorrow.

273

00:
27:12,007 -- 00:27:16,219

If you promise me right now

that you're going to go back.

274

00:
27:18,055 -- 00:27:21,471

You know what's funny to me?

Really funny?

275

00:
27:23,477 -- 00:27:27,060

People like you think

you can just buy people like me.

276

00:
27:27,272 -- 00:27:30,772

But guess what. I wouldn't walk

into your sh*t storm for any price.

277

00:
27:30,984 -- 00:27:33,440

Any chance there might have been

that I'd go back

278

00:
27:33,654 -- 00:27:35,730

went bye-bye

when you tried to pay me off.

279

00:
27:35,948 -- 00:27:38,320

- Menus?

- I'm sorry. There's been a mistake.

280

00:
27:38,534 -- 00:27:44,406

I wouldn't want you to buy me dinner.

Because then I would be exploiting you.

281

00:
27:44,623 -- 00:27:46,829

Good night.

282

00:
27:56,301 -- 00:27:59,255

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you.

283

00:
27:59,471 -- 00:28:02,970

You insulted yourself.

You made your play. We're finished.

284

00:
28:03,183 -- 00:28:07,596

I would make any play to save Lewis's

life. I know you care about that.

285

00:
28:07,813 -- 00:28:10,304

Don't let my nickname fool you.

286

00:
28:10,524 -- 00:28:13,062

It's a bastardisation

of my name, Volgecherev.

287

00:
28:13,277 -- 00:28:17,226

I keep my mouth shut and my head down.

But I do wish Lewis luck.

288

00:
28:17,447 -- 00:28:21,825

I appreciate your concern for his

wellbeing. But I am persistent.

289

00:
28:22,035 -- 00:28:26,413

That's great. Don't waste it on me.

You've only got a few days left.

290

00:
28:26,623 -- 00:28:31,416

You're appealing to emotions I don't

have and morality I can't afford.

291

00:
28:31,628 -- 00:28:35,875

That doesn't change the fact

that a man's life hangs in the balance.

292

00:
28:36,091 -- 00:28:38,297

Good night.

293

00:
30:00,592 -- 00:30:03,214

How're you doin', man?

What's up, Sheriff?

294

00:
30:03,428 -- 00:30:05,504

How're you doin', Tony?

295

00:
30:07,850 -- 00:30:09,807

Yep.

296

00:
30:14,857 -- 00:30:16,896

Here we are.

297

00:
30:17,109 -- 00:30:20,275

- Look, I'm freezing.

- Yeah. My secretary's out today.

298

00:
30:20,487 -- 00:30:24,236

I apologise for the inconvenience.

You'll have to seat yourself.

299

00:
30:30,122 -- 00:30:33,076

So this is the office, huh?

300

00:
30:35,377 -- 00:30:40,537

Let's just sort this out without

that lawyer breathing down our necks.

301

00:
30:40,757 -- 00:30:42,964

- She's pretty intense, huh?

- No sh*t, man.

302

00:
30:43,177 -- 00:30:45,798

After she ambushed me,

I couldn't eat for two days.

303

00:
30:46,013 -- 00:30:50,342

My girlfriend forced some toast down

my throat this morning. I threw it up.

304

00:
30:50,559 -- 00:30:55,020

That's kind of a dry run for our next

three years in Penang Prison.

305

00:
30:57,441 -- 00:31:01,355

So you're gonna do this?

You're going back?

306

00:
31:05,324 -- 00:31:07,649

No.

307

00:
31:08,827 -- 00:31:11,614

You don't give a sh*t, do you?

308

00:
31:13,916 -- 00:31:17,830

- You think I don't care about Lewis?

- That's what you're acting like.

309

00:
31:18,045 -- 00:31:20,084

You don't know

the first thing about me.

310

00:
31:20,297 -- 00:31:24,081

Fine. All right. Then how come

you're so ready to slam the door on him?

311

00:
31:24,301 -- 00:31:27,172

I know something

about guys who have clubs and badges.

312

00:
31:27,387 -- 00:31:30,887

I've had my ass kicked by those

bastards. It's not how you think.

313

00:
31:31,099 -- 00:31:34,800

Doing something good

doesn't mean there'll be a happy ending.

314

00:
31:35,020 -- 00:31:38,187

- You could very easily die over there.

- Yeah.

315

00:
31:38,398 -- 00:31:42,064

- You think of that?

- This is the other side of the coin.

316

00:
31:42,277 -- 00:31:45,064

If this goes down, God forbid,

and Lewis hangs,

317

00:
31:45,280 -- 00:31:48,234

you don't think

this is gonna be headline news?

318

00:
31:48,450 -- 00:31:52,033

Sheriff, this is gonna follow you around

the rest of your life.

319

00:
31:52,246 -- 00:31:57,121

Whereas the other way we come home

heroes and the city throws us a parade?

320

00:
31:57,334 -- 00:32:00,454

Tony, you're a f***ing boy scout.

You really are.

321

00:
32:00,671 -- 00:32:03,506

Listen to me, OK?

322

00:
32:03,715 -- 00:32:07,084

Lewis would have gone back

for either of us.

323

00:
32:07,302 -- 00:32:09,378

You know that.

324

00:
32:12,641 -- 00:32:15,558

That's why I'll never be mistaken

for Lewis McBride.

325

00:
32:23,068 -- 00:32:25,393

- Afternoon, Miss Eastern.

- Thank you.

326

00:
32:26,572 -- 00:32:32,195

iBeth Eastern? Hi. I'm MJ Major,

a reporter for the New York Examiner./i

327

00:
32:32,411 -- 00:32:34,653

- You're a what?

- A reporter.

328

00:
32:36,206 -- 00:32:39,207

Really? And what would you want with me?

329

00:
32:39,418 -- 00:32:42,372

Come on, Beth. I know

the hanging's in less than a week.

330

00:
32:42,588 -- 00:32:46,965

Press is exactly what you and the family

need for a public outcry.

331

00:
32:47,176 -- 00:32:49,583

- The family wants this kept quiet.

- Really?

332

00:
32:49,803 -- 00:32:54,512

In this instance, your interests and

the interests of the public converge.

333

00:
32:54,725 -- 00:32:58,307

- How did you find out about this?

- My sources at the State Department.

334

00:
32:58,520 -- 00:33:00,845

There's a blackout

at the State Department.

335

00:
33:01,064 -- 00:33:04,599

They passed the buck.

They sold it as diplomacy.

336

00:
33:04,818 -- 00:33:08,187

That's why you need me, and fast.

I can make this happen fast.

337

00:
33:08,405 -- 00:33:11,572

- In 48 hours, Lewis McBride can be...

- No.

338

00:
33:11,783 -- 00:33:16,778

Listen to me. Do you remember Singapore?

The American kid who graffitied a car?

339

00:
33:16,997 -- 00:33:20,117

Because of the media frenzy,

they had to cane the kid.

340

00:
33:20,334 -- 00:33:24,082

That was a caning.

To show some national backbone.

341

00:
33:24,296 -- 00:33:26,419

- This is a hanging.

- I know that.

342

00:
33:26,632 -- 00:33:30,843

Some Aussie dope dealer's mother went on

every talk show from Sydney to London.

343

00:
33:31,053 -- 00:33:34,718

You know what happened? They hung

her son a week early to shut her up.

344

00:
33:36,934 -- 00:33:39,092

Excuse me, I've got a really big week.

345

00:
33:39,311 -- 00:33:42,146

Beth, I can make miracles happen

in a week.
