Shoot the Duke

---

The duke is dead, boss.

Do me a favour,

don't call him the duke.

He's dead.

He came out of the hotel just

like he was meant to.

That, uh, cop, was with him...

Rockinsky.

What happened?

They walked to his car nice and slow and

Frank has the duke right in his visor.

Is Mardukas dead?

What?

Is Mardukas dead?

Did, uh, did you just hear the story,

he got shot in the head?

Yeah, I heard.

But you don't hear me, huh?

Did you idiots make sure that he is dead?

What?

You say "What" one more time, I'll shoot

Hey, I'm serious.

I shot him in the head, Joe.

He shot (on) him right in the head.

Okay. It's a very simple question

and I want a very simple answer.

Is he dead? Yes or No?

I think, Joe, if you shoot somebody in the

head, yes, he should be dead.

Alright, sure, you know, okay.

There is a teeny-weeny little chance

A teeny-weeny?

But, a tiny-winy...

Tiny-winy, teeny-weeny..

Are you two sh*t for brains, totally stoned! ?

It isn't that hard, is it! ?

You're supposed to kill Mardukas.

Pop a cap in him, blow him up,

burn him, chop him into

pieces, cut his throat,

drown him, nail him to a cross.

I don't give a sh*t.

The only thing I care about is: is he dead,

yes or no?.

He certainly looked dead.

Okay you two dipshits.

You go and find Mardukas now.

Boss, the man has a bullet in his head.

We've so many things to take care of.

That's a waste of time.

You know what's a waste of time?

Talking to you is a waste of time!

If he's dead, that's good.

But you call me immediately and

you bring me his head.

You got one hour. Go

Why?

What? Why what?

You know what? You don't call me in time,

I'm gonna send in the cavallery.

Yeah, the cavallery. 59 minutes.

Go!

"SHOOT THE DUKE"

Okay, bro, relax...

Come here, 1..2..3..

Jonathan

Can you hear?

You said you have something to tell me, what?

What did you want to say?

I ain shooting nobody without coffee

in my Blood.

If you would've made sure Marduakes is dead,

we wouldn't be in this sh*t right now.

How do you think?

Do you think Duke is dead or not?

How could I know?

You pulled the trigger!

What if I really killed him?

I, I'm just trying to say that...

I like it. Mardukas's the Duke.

It's a nice Nickname the Duke.

Even the accountant has a nickname.

They call me Dirty Harry.

The accountant they call the Duke

and you don't have a nickname?

What the hack do I need a nickname for?

Frank, that's my name.

Yeah Frank, Frank what?

Frank like in Frankfurt. You know what?

That's a major German capital.

They even named a major German capitol after me,

Frankfurt.

First of all, it's a German city bro,

it's not the capitol.

Get your facts straight.

And second of all,

Frankenstein, huh? Like in Einstein, see?

That's how smart I am.

You know what? That's what I'm gonna call you,

Frankenstein. Real smart.

You got problems. You know we are going to

a hospital right now?

Check if they've a psych department.

You should check yourself in there.

Yeah, Harrystein, let's go get a cappuccino,

low fat, no sugar diet, you know?

What're you talking about?

You know what? Joe's right, you're stoned.

What?

God, you're such an a**hole.

What're you talking about?

I'm talking about how you always

keep your nose clean.

I do the dirty work, you get the laurels.

And when it all goes to sh*t,

then you don't want anything to do with it.

Seriously? I don't wanna talk about this.

What're you saying?

And these constant questions for answers.

Man, that's getting on my tits.

You never ask a question.

How am I suppose to give you an answer?

You were suppose to turn left here.

Sh*t...

Patricia?!

- Yea? What are you doing here?

- This man needs some help.

What do you want? Are you playing cops

and robbers again?

This must be Max.

Unfortunately.

- Are you pregnant?

- What do you care?

What are you doing here?

It's 5 o lock in the morning.

I thought you were a nurse not a drunk.

I need some help.

As a matter of fact we all are

I'm certainly not drunk and

by the way we're closed.

You maybe off duty but I'm on.

Now, is he a doctor or just your sperm donor?

I'm an anesthesiologists.

Then I'm gonna need your help too.

Now, where is a doctor?

I gotta get some information

from this guy right away.

Take your friend and bring him to the new

St Vincent hospital.

His hospital here closed down yesterday.

Then let me introduce you first. 06:52

Oh my god.

- What happened?

- Is it a gun shot wound?

No, he hurt himself with a tooth pick.

Yes, it is a gun shot wound.

Now, I gotta get a doctor over here. Now!

Why are you not the one with a whole in the head?

That's enough. Get the operating room ready.

All the doctors have left.

And what about him?

He's not a doctor yet.

He is now.

Let's go. Move!

Where the hell is Rocksinky.

He was suppose to pick up Marduckas,

he should've been here ages ago.

Yes,

call him.

Chief Baker. Yeah, put him through.

Max! Where are you?

I'm in a hospital.

What? Which one?

St George.

That's closed. What's going on?

Are you hurt?

No, I'm fine, but Mardukas has been hit.

Bad?

I think so. He's got a nice little hole

in his head.

Sh*t, we need him.

Yeah, I know. I know.

What do you think I'm doing here?

Do you want me to send backup?

No, definitely not.

I don't wanna draw any attention.

If Benuso's men did this, then they

gonna think he is dead.

That's a good thing.

Did anyone follow you to the hospital?

No, definitely not.

So, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna stay here,

wait for Marduakas to get patched up

and then get him to a safe place.

- Max...! You better come.

- Hold on.

I gotta call you back.

Max? Sh*t.

He's in a critical condition.

It doesn't look good.

Well, lets just get the bullet out of his head

and everything is gonna be fine.

Patricia, could, could you...

Of course.

This's only my second week as an assistant doctor,

I've certainly never done anything like this before.

It's gonna be okay.

There's a first time for everything.

You can do this. Let's get on with it.

I don't think I'm the right one for this.

Well then who is?

No one's left, remember?

I could try and stabilize him till

tomorrow and...

That's not gonna be good enough.

I don't have time for this.

Yeah, but as long as I don't touch the

bullet, there is no danger

that I'll make a mistake and...

What is the matter with you people?

You're doctors.

I bring a guy in with a bullet in his head.

Don't you guys feel any sense

of responsibility?

I, I'm just trying to say that...

Listen to me.

Doc, everything is gonna be fine.

You can do this. It's not even in that deep.

This is easy. I could almost do it myself.

Look, it's sitting right there.

What're you telling me?

Is it better to have the bullet in his head

or out of his head?

It's better to have it out of

his head. Right or wrong?

1...

Am I right or am I wrong?

Yeah, you're right...

Alright then. Let's get on with this.

There's still stuff of yours in my house.
