Shoot the Duke Page #2

---

- Your house?

- Yeah.

You said, you'll pick it all up.

It's been nearly six months.

I've been a little busy.

- Oh really?

- But seriously,

is this my work?

What if it was? Nothing's changed.

Listen Patricia.

I'm sorry, okay?

I know that I haven't been honest

with you about my work

and there are things that I couldn't tell you.

Oh please.

And I know that I made you angry

when I couldn't talk about work.

And it really annoyed the hell out of you.

No, what annoyed the hell out of me was

that you only took care about your job.

You don't give a dam about anything else.

I did everything you wanted.

Went to the therapist. Even he admitted that

if you and I had only...

Do you wanna know what the therapist really said?

He said, if you would have put at least a little

bit of effort, it might have worked.

I didn't file for divorce.

Well, I'm just one step ahead of you.

Maybe one step too many.

Especially if I got a kid on the way.

Who says it's yours?

What's that suppose to mean?

Forget about it. Who's that guy?

I really shouldn't talk about it.

You see, that was our problem.

You never talked to me.

Or maybe, I just don't wanna give you an information

that might jeopardize you and your new family.

His name is Jonathan Mardukas.

He is an accountant for the mafia.

Six months ago we convinced him to testify

against Joe Benuso.

Ever since then he's been

under my protection.

Who's Benuso?

He's the mob's king pin.

And about what this guy's got in his head,

I can put him away for life.

Sorry I can't do it.

- What are you talking about?

- I can't do it.

Look, we've already been through this before.

No, I can't do it. It's just too dangerous.

He might die.

I, I, we should take him to the new hospital.

They have doctors who...

I can't wait that long. You're right,

this guy may die. We gotta do this now.

Max. Can I call you Max.

You have wasted enough of my time.

The information in this guy's head

could put away one of the biggest crime bosses

for a very long time.

I'm talking drugs, prostitution, murder.

Doesn't that matter to you! ?

You gotta do this now!

Max, he can't do it!

Thank you.

Alright.

Okay. Look, I don't want anything

more to do with...

Don't move!

I got two questions for you.

You golf?

- Yes.

- Good.

You've ever been shot?

- No, of course not.

- Well, it really hurts.

- Max, stop it.

- You stay out of this.

Now, you gotta work

on him to the best you can.

Because I'm not gonna lose one year of my work.

You understand?

Do it now, or you never gonna golf

the same again.

Will? He won't do it.

He doesn't really mean it.

- Yes I will.

- No you don't.

I'm gonna count to 3.1...

He's just bluffing. I know him.

I was married to him for three years...

- 2...

- Max, we are not in the kindergarten.

This is really gonna hurt.

Okay, okay, I'll do it,

I'll do it. Just...

Max...come here...

- R's emPYW-

Yupm...

No lead, no dead.

You see?

Once again you don't tell me everything.

I need you to tell me something, seriously.

Who's the daddy?

Me or unintelligible man?

Jealous?

Don't worry,

I'm here too and I'll help You.

You can do it. Just stay calm.

I thought you'd quit.

I started again.

Too much stress in my life.

Too much stress at work, stress at home...

I lost my woman.

Ohh, how sad...

But smoking is not permitted in here.

What difference does it make?

You said, the hospital was closed.

Yeah, Rock.

How's it going?

Alright chief. Yeah, it's going good, we're

in the middle of the operation now,

taking the bullet out of his head.

- But he's alive?

- Yeah, he's alive.

- Did he talk?

- No not yet.

You think he'll be better once the

bullet's out?

Well, I've seen this kind of thing before.

Sometime it can be a mess

but I think we got shot.

You better hope so.

He's our only witness.

Right.

You know, hospitals they just make me sick.

Tell me about it.

You know, they're suppose to make you

healthy but they make me sick.

And the nurses, it's, not like,

like it used to be.

You know what? Forget your stories.

You think they're here?

This place looks like a rat hole.

Let's go up here.

It's closed. So what now?

Joe was sure they're here. So we go

check, whether it's closed or not.

We got exactly 25 minutes to call Joe

and confirm Mardukas is dead.

Mardukas is dead and we'll bring his head.

That rimes.

I'm telling you,

we should form this rap group,

man and call ourselves the cavallery.

Let's just go check.

Hey, close your window and lock the door.

Why? Because there's gangsters around?

Just lock the door.

Was that Keith Jarrett?

'Come on, that's Keith Richards, man.

Keith Jarrett is a piano player, man.

Well, first of all it's a black songwriter.

I'm talking rock music, man.

Think you got everything?

Closed doors, power lines, telephone cables,

I wanna be prepared for anything.

Who are you, MacGuyver?

I am professional.

Excuse me!

Morning.

Yeah, good morning, but the hospital's moved.

We're just looking for a friend.

I told you we are closed.

There's no one working here anymore.

Just some farewell party going on.

Yeah, we know that.

We're just here to pick up a friend,

he got drunk, you know how it is.

Where's the party at?

They are probably all in intensive care?

Well, well they are.

But I can't just let you run up there

just like that.

I'll make a quick call

find out if he's still there,

and if it's okay.

No need to bother, we just...

Sorry, sorry.

I have to do everything by the book.

I'm new here.

Shuut. all these, all these numbers.

Sh*t

Defibrillator!

Do something.

3-60.

Move away.

Charge!

Sh*t! Again!

Charge!

Sh*t!

- Adrenaline! Give him a shot.

- Yes.

Come on, faster!

Thank god...

That's great.

Here is the number.

Okay

seems like this line is already shut down.

Well, I try my cell phone.

Nurse Patricia.

Glad you're still there.

Who's speaking?

I'm the new security Guard,

I got two nice men down here

who want to come up and see their friend.

That's odd, she just hung up on me.

Max. The security guard just called.

- What did he say?

- Two guys are looking for their friend.

- Where are they?

- I don't know. Don't stairs I guess.

Don't worry about it.

We just gonna go up there ourselves.

Where, where did you say intensive care was?

Will, how much longer?

With the extraction treatment,

hard to say. About half an hour.

Hurry up. Come with me.

I'll just make one more call, okay? Okay?

That's a very good idea.

Don't very about it.

By the way, you have no idea about music.

Keith Richards, man.

It's Keith Jarrett, I'm telling ya.

See, you gotta be prepared.

You could've pulled the plug, bro.

You're killing me,

you're killing me man.

The f***ing jealousy and ignorance the whole

f***ing time.

I'm telling you right now. This is Benuso's

guys. We're gonna be in trouble.

But I thought no one knew where you are.

Somebody must've tipped them off.

Oh great.
