Sharky's Machine Page #7

and one fink inside the Department

Joe, I don't know where Sharky is

You are an a**hole.

Get on a phone and find him.

You want to help? Then

tell him to come on in.

Tell him it's a goddamn fix.

Tell him there's no way that he can win.

What'd you find out?

Never mind what I found out.

Joe, where are you going?

I'm going to the D.A. Now!

I'm gonna get Sharky

that head he's been hunting for

I've got the son of a b*tch!

Aah!

Stop that son of a b*tch!

Get back! Get back!

Get back! People, back!

Oh, Christ, Joe!

He's dead!

What are you doing?

Just working.

A window seat.

Yeah.

Did you make it?

Yeah.

It's very good.

Thank you.

What are you doing there?

Uh... just... doodling.

Doodling what?

Doodling.

Just doodling?

Mm-hmm.

It's a rose.

Were you embarrassed to tell me

you were making a rose?

No.

Yeah, you were.

Yeah.

You're a strange guy, Sharky.

I know.

That's what everybody says.

At the far table.

Thank you.

Oh.

Sergeant Sharky.

Please sit down.

No, thanks.

I just came to look.

What do you see?

Nothing much.

Care to have some food?

It's Chinese food

without a trace of Western corruption.

Pure.

I've got you by the ass.

Oh?

All the way from selling

little girls to murder.

How does it feel?

It feels great.

It feels like you're a lump of sh*t

lyin' in the bottom of a commode,

and I got my hand on the chain

just waiting to pull it.

Look at you.

Righteous anger. Defender of the people.

Tell me something, Sharky.

Why are the people on my side?

Why do they line up with me instead of you?

Huh? Ha ha ha.

Confusing times.

You have nothing.

No tapes, no link with Hotchkins,

except a dead woman.

He's as good as governor.

You're an outcast

about to lose that badge of yours.

You're about as bothersome to me as

something stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

As I see it, you have 2 choices.

You can disappear...

or maybe I can throw something your way.

Perhaps even another Dominoe.

Pick one. Go ahead.

Ha ha. Of course, she

won't be quite as good.

Dominoe was the best.

She was 12 when I found her.

Can you imagine?

I taught her, and I taught her,

until she began to teach me.

Yes, she was the best,

because I created her.

Anyway, that's all academic,

because she is gone.

She's alive.

Have you talked to Tiffany lately?

Somehow I get the feeling

that your rear end is puckering up.

I'm gonna pull the chain on you, pal,

and you want to know why?

'Cause you're f***in' up my city,

'cause you're walkin' all over people

like you own them.

And you want to know the worst part?

You're from out of state.

Nosh?

Nosh?

Kyah!

Hiy!

Hello, Sharky

Hello, Smiley.

You look awful.

You met the Chins, huh?

Yeah. They're delightful.

Oh, by the way...

your friend, uh, Jojo...

he's gone to that big

police station in the sky.

Oh, and... and also...

Nosh... has gone there, too.

Aah!

You know, when you went to see the man,

you really pissed him off.

You should have just brought the girl in.

She'd be dead, but Nosh and Jojo and all

your chums would be alive, and you, too.

Yeah.

Paco?

What, is he auditioning

for a job at Benihana's?

Oh, you're funny, Sharky.

OK.

Now, let's make this nice and simple.

I'm gonna ask you a question,

and you're gonna answer me.

Sure.

And it'll all be over just like that.

Otherwise, he's gonna

take your fingers off,

one joint at a time.

And now, I figure you got about, uh...

10 answers,

and then, if you don't bleed to death,

you're gonna run out of joints.

Now the question.

Where's the girl?

I don't know what you're

talking about, Smiley.

I don't know anything about any girl.

I'm gonna ask you one more time.

Where is Dominoe?

Ok, Sharky, I think we've arrived

at what the bullfighters

call the moment of truth.

I'm gonna ask you for the last time.

Where is she?

I don't know.

Come on, Sharky, yell.

Come on. It's got to hurt.

It's painful. Ha ha ha ha.

I mean, it's not as though

it's like you're gettin' a manicure.

We're in the middle of a lake.

Go ahead, yell.

Want to try for 2?

Now listen good.

Where did you take her?

I... I...

I... I... I... I don't know.

Aah!

Now, look, this is embarrassing,

it's pathetic, it's pitiful,

watching a grown man cry.

I don't want the boys to do that.

Uh, guys, take a break. Get some air.

You're a crybaby, Sharky.

I always knew you were a crybaby.

All that sh*t around the Department

about Sharky the tough guy,

the tough cop, the macho man...

I knew you had no guts.

Not only that, you got no fingers.

Ok, Shark, let's cut the macho sh*t.

Nobody's here. It's just you and me.

It ain't there.

I took your gun into protective custody.

What do you think we are, dummies?

We looked up your nose.

We looked in your ears.

Every orifice.

Now...

I'm gonna lean in,

and you're gonna whisper in my ear

where the girl is at.

Then I'm gonna get the Chins in here,

and it's gonna be over just like that.

O-OK... OK, Smiley.

Good boy, Shark.

Sh*t!

God damn it!

Kyah!

Aah!

Ladies and gentlemen,

great state of Georgia

Thank you. Thank you.

We want Don!

Thank you. Thank you.

Please. Thank you.

The governor has just conceded at 4 A.M.,

and I hated to keep him up so late,

but I'm gonna... I'm gonna give him

4 long years to rest up.

holds my IOU, my promissory note.

And I... I am accountable!

Don! Don! Don!

I don't know what's happening.

I'll get a comment from the governor-elect.

What's your name?

Where are you taking the governor?

Governor, what is this?

2 men, identified as police officers,

escorted the governor-elect

from his campaign headquarters

in police custody

Whether protective custody or not, we

don't know, but sources have told Brian

Hotchkins is being questioned by police

where a man just elected governor

disappears immediately

You lost the governor?

I'll buy another one Here's 20,000 for you

I'll contact you later, OK?

No.

Hey, Carlos, you misunderstand.

You can't be seen with me.

I can still make it if I move now,

quickly, and alone.

But I'll send for you

soon as I get set up somewhere.

- OK?

- No!

After all these years? You go to hell!

Send for me? No! No! No!

I go with you!

Carlos, you'll do as I say.

You'll do as I say, as always.

Please, Victor, please!

Look at you! You're not strong enough!

You're a walking drugstore!

A dope head!

You should try! Look at you! Junkie!

A used-up butcher. Control all gone.

I don't need you anymore!
