Sharky's Machine Page #6

No sh*t?

Carlos Scarelli, alias Billy Score.

He's 45 years old.

I didn't see it.

I don't care!

Great reputation.

Slave trade.

Little girls. They...

buy them, kidnap them,

then they break them down...

drugs, rape, whatever the hell it takes...

then they sell them.

They sell them?

Who is they?

They is him and his

brother Albert Scarelli.

Albert, he's been out of

sight for about 15 years,

but we got his ass, Sharky.

You got the name. That's all you got.

How about a face?

Hey, a face.

The guy on the left.

Where? Let me see it. Will you...

I didn't see it!

I don't give a f***!

That's fantastic, fantastic.

Look at this. Which one is it? Which guy?

He's the guy on the left.

This picture's about 20 years old.

You make him, Sharky?

I don't make him.

OK, he's been in town about a month, right?

He's probably still here.

You guys got 40 more hours,

then I turn it over to Homicide.

I'll call you at home, Sharky.

I'll be at her place.

- Whose place?

- Dominoe's.

Oh, yeah?

Is your figure

Less than Greek?

Is your mouth

A little weak

When you open it

To speak?

Are you smart?

But

Don't

Change a hair for me

Not

If you care for me

Stay

Little valentine

Stay

What the hell are you doing here?

Tiffany?

Tiffany, where are you? I'm back

Where is she?

Tiff let you in, didn't she?

Well?

What are you doing here?

I was about to ask you the same question.

Well, I'm glad you can talk.

But if you don't get out now,

I'm gonna have to call the police.

I am the police.

Oh, yeah?

Sharky.

Vice.

A woman was killed here yesterday.

We thought it was you.

What?

You said Tiffany.

Was that the woman's name?

Was that the woman's name

that stayed here yesterday?

Tiffany?

Tiffany.

You sure it was Tiffany?

No, I'm not.

But somebody was here.

Couldn't you have taken

it off the goddamn wall?

He thinks you're dead.

He thinks he killed you.

Who?

William Score.

Scarelli.

Did you ever hear of him?

No.

Get your stuff together.

We're going to get out of here.

Hello.

Shark, the tapes are gone.

What?

Yeah. They're missing from the squad room.

I come over here,

and the f***in' tapes are

gone from here, too.

What are you talkin' about?

All the tapes are gone?

Yeah. Except a few I was

working on at home.

I can't reach Arch, and I can't reach Papa.

I'm gonna call May right now,

tell her to take the kid

and get out of there.

I'm goin' home, Sharky.

Nosh, listen to me.

You got copies of Victor, right?

You got copies of Hotchkins?

Copies! I got f***in'...

Don't you ever let go, for Christ sakes?

Just go home, Nosh. I'll call you later.

Shark...

who's on our side?

We got to get out of here.

If he finds out you're still alive,

he's gonna come back for you.

Why?

He wants you dead.

Then I am dead.

No.

That's dead.

Where are we going?

Somewhere where you'll be safe.

South America?

Where have you been for the last 24 hours?

I went to the mountains.

I like being alone sometimes.

None of your business anyway.

I see.

You told Tiffany you were

going, though, right?

Right.

At dance class.

You know everything?

I don't know Victor's last name.

I don't know your first name.

Sergeant.

Sergeant.

Tell me, Sergeant, just

how big is your army?

They're good men. You'll be all right.

More than a hundred?

- What?

- 4!

Great.

Just one bed?

Yeah.

I'll sleep on the floor.

I know.

Well?

Oh.

Is this your place?

I used to live here when

I was a little kid.

My father sold the house

right after the war.

It came up for sale about a year ago.

I come here every weekend.

I fix it up. I love the house...

Why do you have my pictures on your wall?

They are my pictures, aren't they?

Why do you have my pictures

all over your wall?

I don't know.

Does Victor use the other

women like he uses you?

Does he pay you? Or does he own you?

You're so goddamn smart, aren't you?

He owns you, too. You're

just too naive to know it.

Nobody owns me.

I don't want to talk anymore.

I'm so tired.

You got to give me a little time.

We don't have any time.

We're fresh out of time.

Can I just take a shower?

Over there.

I forgot about the pictures

What a putz.

Hope you don't mind...

I borrowed your robe.

Sure.

Look, uh, we haven't got

much time, so, uh...

I got to ask you some questions, all right?

Can't you just let me

lie here for 5 minutes?

I just need a little nap.

A nap?

Look, you had a shower. Now you want a nap.

Want me to bring you your supper?

This is not a resort.

We're running out of time.

Now, what's Victor's last name?

What good is all this gonna do, huh?

It's gonna help me nail

him before he nails us.

Nail Victor?

You?

Yeah, nail Victor!

Nail him before he nails us!

Now, what's his last name?!

What the hell difference does it make?

God damn it! I'll tell you the difference!

I'll tell you the friggin' difference!

He's gonna blow us away!

Now, tell me his last name!

Did you watch us?

Did you watch all of it?

Sh*t!

How many other people did he set

you up with besides Hotchkins?

Did you enjoy watching us, Sharky?

Get off of that!

Why? Does it bother you?

Does it make you feel

like some pathetic peeping Tom, huh?

You b*tch.

Don't make me call you what you really are.

So he bought you, and then what?

He didn't buy me!

Well, what were you, a librarian?!

A nun?! A schoolteacher?!

I'm a dancer! Can't you see?!

I'm... I'm a dancer!

I ought to punch your f***in' lights out!

So now you're gonna hit me, right?

I bet you enjoy hitting people, Sharky.

Sometimes, yeah!

That's all you know, isn't it?

Hitting and pushing and punching.

Does it make you feel good or something?

Sometimes, yeah.

Aah!

God damn it!

God!

Ow!

I'm never gonna tell you!

I'm never gonna tell you his last...

Oh, God!

I hate you!

Didn't you ever learn just to hold someone?

Yeah, I know how to hold people.

I just don't have $1,000.

Is this your bedroom?

Used to be.

It was smaller then.

Stained-glass windows your idea?

Uh-huh. I love stained glass.

Is this chest yours?

It was my mother's.

When I was 9 years old...

I carved my name in the drawer.

- Tommy?

- Mm-hmm.

Is that your name, Tommy?

No, it's Ralph.

I just put Tommy there to fool her.

Was the school always there?

Yeah.

3 steps away,

and I was always late.

You know...

I come here every weekend,

and those damn kids are out there playing.

I can't work when they're there.

I have to stop and watch it.

I could watch kids playing all day long.

You're a strange guy, Sharky.

Yeah.

That's what everybody says.

Just find Sharky, huh?

Tell him to come on in

He's so far over his head

I hear you're onto something big.

Just read my report, OK, Friscoe?

Read the papers tomorrow.

Everybody down there is so goddamn cheap

they won't buy a goddamn paper.

Are you gonna talk to me?

No!

You just wait a minute.

You know something, right?

Sharky was right all the time

One man on top of the whole town
