how do you feel?

Great.

Do you think you can stop Khomeini?

Not if it's funny.

A good comedy, as you call it,

is worth its weight in gold.

Have you read Norman Cousins

about the immune system?

Hey, baby, come on. Comedy. Ha-ha-ha.

Hey, when is this gonna be on?

I want my sister to tape it.

Uh, thank you.

As you can see, this remains a complicated issue.

How could we lose a blind guy and a deaf guy?

Son of a b*tch!

I want these guys. Now!

Calm down. Just calm down.

We'll get them.

Yeah, we better get them.

We better get them.

Careful. Careful.

Turn left.

Wait. Let's try the door.

There's a hole here, Wally.

Put your fingers

right in here. Pull.

There's an alley!

Dave!

I'm right here. I'm right here.

Step down. Step down once.

Follow me. Careful.

There's an alley right here. Careful.

Turn right. Turn right.

Here's another door.

It's open.

Go on in.

Kerew is blind. Repeat, blind.

Lyons, David, 5'10",

Caucasian, blond hair.

Lyons is deaf. Repeat, deaf.

Form barricades. 6th Avenue

to Hudson, Houston to West 4th.

Every available cruiser,

scramble now.

How does someone so beautiful kill somebody?

I don't understand.

Careful. The broken wood

is in front of you.

That's it.

Oh, wait a minute.

Hold my head.

Hold my head.

Okay.

Oh, hold my head.

Thank you. Ah. Ow.

Are you all right?

Thank you very much.

They told me to call back in 10 minutes.

The judge is just getting out of court now.

We can have them

in half an hour.

This way, Wally.

Don't guide me. Don't guide me.

What?

They're looking for

a blind guy and deaf guy.

We gotta get out

of the neighborhood.

You won't make it.

You'll crack your head.

Not if you stamp your feet.

If I what?

Stamp your feet.

I'll follow the sound.

Like this?

Louder.

I can hear the noise.

I'll follow you.

That's good! Now move out!

Jesus.

We gotta find the subway.

I feel ridiculous.

You look fine to me!

I think we should kill them.

We have to.

We don't want them

to identify us.

It's not up to me.

It's up to Sutherland.

If he wants us to kill them,

we'll kill them.

Right now, I just want to get them out of there

and get the coin.

Mr. Kerew?

How did you get out of jail?

Who is it?

It's all right. It's us.

Your lawyers.

Shalimar.

That's right.

Shalimar.

What is Mr. Lyons

doing?

He's going to the bathroom. He's gotta go real bad.

And I told him, if you gotta go,

you gotta go! Go!

Wally?

Yeah, don't worry about me.

You go on without me!

I'll catch up later.

When you gotta go,

you gotta go, you know?

Not everybody can

stand around and wait!

Just go!

Don't worry about me, okay?

I'll catch up with you later!

Do you hear me?

Sure. I hear you fine.

You snuck up on me.

Damn you.

You're close enough now.

You can read my lips.

Yes, I can.

Guess who I ran into today?

Who?

The killers.

The, uh, kidders?

Where did you learn

to lip-read, underwater?

The "killers," Mr. Lyons.

The killers.

May I have the coin, Mr. Kerew?

What coin are we talking about?

They may not know they have it.

Excuse me.

Let's see if I can find it.

I don't know what you're looking for,

but it's a little to the right.

Oh...

Here it is.

Here what is?

It's a rare gold coin, Mr. Kerew.

Very valuable. Mr. Scotto put it in your cigar box

before he passed away.

You mean I've had it

all the time?

Well, now what?

You know how I feel.

Can we go now?

I'll call our employer

and find out.

Say, my man...

Mr. Kerew, not so fast.

I wanted to know,

you make a lot of money in this line of work?

Yes, Mr. Sutherland, we have them both. And the coin.

Well, yes, actually I do.

Okay.

But there's no unions or benefits.

That's right.

What time do you land?

I'll return tomorrow morning

at approximately 8:37.

All right. We'll go to Great Gorge

and we'll wait for your call.

But we have to leave the country

tomorrow morning.

Don't worry, my dear.

Everything's arranged.

All right, Mr. Sutherland.

Goodbye.

Sort of like

a picky person. Ha, ha.

What's it to be?

I'll wait in the car.

No, meet me behind the diner.

Goodbye, Mr. Lyons.

I hope I bump into you again.

I don't think so.

See, I'll be leaving the country

and you'll be dead.

Dead? I thought you

weren't gonna kill us.

Afraid not. Goodbye.

Wait. Wait a second.

Don't we get a last request?

What would you like?

Would you scratch

my nose for me?

You're a very sick woman.

Thank you.

What would you like?

I suppose a f***

is out of the question.

I'm afraid so.

Goodbye.

Let's go, gentlemen.

We don't know nothing

about no gold coin.

Why do you gotta kill us?

Because you're both witnesses.

I don't understand this.

Why are we making it easier for you?

Why don't you just do it here?

Why in an alley?

Why don't you kill us right here?

Fine.

Big mouth.

Wait. We won't talk.

I promise.

Please, don't do this.

Dave, stop the begging, man.

We gotta go out with dignity.

All I want to know is

what time is it?

Did you say what time is it?

Yes, I did. What time is it?

Your time is up, Mr. Kerew.

If I have to die, I want my friend

to tell me what time it is.

Oh.

What time it is?

It's 3:
00.

Not yet. Not yet. It's 12...

Wait. It's 10:
00 now.

Wait, 12:
00.

Make up your mind!

It's 12:
00.

It is not 12:
00. It's 11: 15.

It's 12:
00. It's 12:00!

It's about time.

Quick! This way. This way.

Careful. Narrow. Narrow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Other way! Other way!

Hurry, Wally! Hurry, Wally!

Come on, Wally!

- Where we going?

- This way.

What's up?

Get behind this car.

There's a car. Watch your knees.

What's up?

Policemen have set up a barricade.

This is running.

Anybody in it?

This is a squad car.

I know that. Is anyone in it?

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

My hands are cuffed.

I can't drive.

Who said anything about you?

We gotta get out.

We're not gonna get 10 feet.

Yes, we can. Get in.

Wally, you're gonna

kill somebody.

I got the wheel,

you take the pedals.

You say something?

I got the wheel, you take the pedals.

Oh, no! Forward!

Wally, go forward!

How am I doing?

Watch the road!

If it'll make you feel better.

Left!

Watch out!

Headquarters, this is Barricade 4!

Headquarters, this is Barricade 4!

I hate when that happens.

Are you stupid? You want to die?

Police emergency. Out of the car.

Police? Show me your badge.

This is my badge.

They crashed through in a squad car.

Who the hell was driving?

I think it's the blind guy.

Get in the car! Open that up!

What's up?

Get me down Seventh Avenue right away.

Turn right! Turn right! Stop!

Turn right! Straight ahead.

Left! Right! Straight! Left! Left!

Turn left! Turn left!

Right. Right. To the right.

We're going the wrong way

on a one-way street. A little right.

- Get on the sidewalk!

- Look out!

A little right. A little left.

Right. Turn right!

Where are you going?

These streets are bumpy.

You're driving on the sidewalk!

What the f*** was that?

Aah!

Go on home. Your mother's looking for you.
