Secrets of Deception Page #3

---

Clock's ticking, homey.

-Okay, yeah. Let's go.

Hey, there, homey.

Get in the driver's seat.

- So like I think that maybe...

When I was talking to her,

she said like,

the place was on the left.

All right, look.

Man, she was kind of vague.

She was drinking,

she was f***ed up.

I don't know, if I'm...

In the wrong neighborhood.

But it's okay.

We'll find her.

- Is everything all right?

I thought you guys were happy.

- I'm gonna tell you

what f***ing happened.

She's f***ing some kid

in my house.

And I'm not paying

for no f***ing divorce.

-F***.

All right, uh...

Let me reach out.

I'll give you a call back.

-Thanks.

- Hello.

- Eddie.

-Yeah?

I think I got something for you.

- Oh, yeah?

What type of something?

- Ah, it's better

if we talk in person.

-Hmm-mm. Okay, when?

- I can come to you right now,

if that's okay?

- Sure.

Do you remember where I live?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll see you shortly.

-Yes, you will.

- Eddie green...

- Mr. Driffites.

-Hey, nice to see you.

- Good to see you, my friend.

Come on in.

Close the gate.

Come on.

-Hey.

We almost got f***ed back there.

You know that, right?

- Yeah, I know.

I thought you called it off.

-I did.

He must have already

killed the kid when I saw him.

-What do you propose we do now?

- All right,

well, first things first,

we need to settle up

your debt with Jose.

-What? No way.

I didn't tell him

to kill that kid.

I'm not paying for that sh*t.

-It's not about that.

If you don't pay,

he's going to come after you.

Trust me. Just...

Just chalk it up

to a business expense,

and we'll move forward.

-Motherf***er.

All right, just...

Just call that Edward guy.

We'll meet him tomorrow,

all right?

-We have to go today.

-Why today?

- Because we need him

out of town as soon as possible.

The cops have witnesses

putting him at the murder.

They find him, we're f***ed.

Okay?

-Okay.

- All right.

I already set up the meet.

We'll take your car.

Here, I'll drive.

- Come on.

- What, like now?

- What part of

"as soon as possible"

do you not understand?

Come on.

-Perfect.

Come on.

-So, what you think?

-About what?

- About that guy, man,

who parked over there, huh?

- He must be the reason

he wants him dead.

- Trifling-ass b*tch,

if you ask me, man.

- Hmm.

- So, what's up?

What you want to do now?

-We're gonna do the job.

-Wait up, man.

I don't think

that's too smart, man.

There's two of them

up in there now.

That changes everything.

-No, it doesn't.

It's just two bodies.

It's simple now.

Let's go.

Coming?

- I thought he caught a life

sentence from the Detroit job.

-He did.

But he got out in five years

because he finished

this five-year bullshit

rehabilitation program.

He just had to say,

"I'm Jose, I'm innocent, man."

Five years,

and they let him go. They did.

- What a f***ed-up

system we got, huh?

-You think?

-The guy kills four people...

- Five people.

- Five?

-Yeah.

- in cold blood,

and ten years later...

- Five years.

Five years later,

he's out on the f***ing street.

But a black kid at the park

gets a life sentence

for slinging a dime bag.

Pretty f***ed up.

- Well, he's black.

You said it.

But it's the truth.

It's f***ed up.

-Yeah.

All right.

How do you wanna run it?

- Okay,

so connect me with your guy,

I'll go collect my fee

and I'll tell him

how to get a hold of Jose.

We'll start there. Okay?

Sound good?

- Sounds good.

Let's do it.

- I'll show you out, Luke,

come on.

- Thank you, Eddie.

- Sure.

-Always a pleasure. Let's go.

- Pharmaceuticals, huh?

- Yeah.

- He's a killer too.

-What's wrong, baby?

You can't sleep?

- It's just work...

Just work.

-Stressed out?

That's what I'm here for, baby.

Let's make it all better.

-Look, I said, not tonight.

Not tonight, okay?

- No, it's...

It's not that.

It's just that I'm...

F***ing bored with this life.

Well, maybe I will.

Maybe I will.

Get a weekend off

and we can hit the strip.

Like old times.

You know, sometimes,

I don't know

how this old f***

can still get his dick up.

I have a...

I have to deal with it.

He would, like the first time

he ever told me,

"oh, I'm... I'm so hard,"

I was like, "oh, wow, I thought

you weren't ready yet."

No, it's like...

It's really bad.

I kind of just...

This is where my theater

background comes into play.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Is your father here?

-Oh, yeah. He's upstairs.

- Okay.

- Who are you?

-Oh, I'm a friend of his.

He's expecting me.

If you don't mind...

- Okay.

- Thanks, honey.

-Daddy.

He should be down

in just a minute.

- Great.

So, what's your name?

-Brooke.

- Hey.

- Hey, sweetie.

Um... I just have to talk

to my friend for a little bit.

Little business, okay?

-Okay. Nice meeting you.

-Okay. Let's go.

-Yeah.

-Come on.

- Why come to the door?

I thought you were gonna call.

- I did.

There was no answer.

- Oh, i...

- Hey, all right.

Jeff, it's all good.

It's all good.

Look, relax.

You do realize...

What you're getting yourself

into, right?

You need to know that your life

will never be the same.

Listen to me.

There's no turning back

from something like this.

So are you sure?

Maybe you wanna... you know,

sleep on it for a night...

I don't know.

What do you say?

- Well, I haven't slept

for days, man.

- Why?

- Just...

-It's okay.

Do you hate her?

Do you really hate her?

Okay.

- Put these coordinates

into your GPS.

Pull your car over.

Roll the window down and wait.

A guy's gonna approach your car

and then he'll get in.

I need you to say the phrase

on that piece of paper,

wait for his response to confirm

he's the right guy to talk to.

After that, I don't give a f***

what you talk about.

- I got it.

- Oh, yeah.

Um, and I mean

every word I say, okay?

No sudden moves, or...

You know, with this guy,

you might get yourself killed.

So if you have to sneeze,

you know, hold it.

And I mean that.

That's where you are now.

You're sure you wanna be here?

It's been all fun

and f***ing games, Jeff.

Until right now.

Because this,

this is not a f***ing game, man.

At all.

Do you understand that?

Good.

- Thank you.

- All right.

I'll be in touch.

Yes, Mr. Schaefer.

-Hey, Terry.

I'm gonna have to

fly out to Vancouver

to help James

on that acquisition deal.

I just need to go out tomorrow

for a quick flight,

coming back the same day.

No problem.

-Stop, stop.

What is that?

Just a minute.

Jeez.

- Did you have to kill the kid?

I told you to leave.

- Hey, listen, man.

I got hired to do a job, no?

It's not my fault. You called it

off at the last minute.

- Too late. They have a witness

putting you at the house.

The cops are looking for you

as we speak.

You need to get out of town.

- What?

I ain't going nowhere.

-So you'd rather go to jail.

-No, I'm not going to jail.

He's going to jail.

-Hm-hm, why's that?

- Hey, just everybody slow down

for a minute, okay.

Look, I'm sorry
