Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Page #4

that's all, tops.

I took an eye

out of him, though.

Listen, before you say anything,

I know I was supposed to take

the 'Stang to make my getaway,

but when I saw this beauty here

sitting there, you know,

the keys in the ignition

and everything,

I couldn't pass up

a chance to take a drive

in an honest-to-God Tucker.

Pull over!

You know, they only made

a couple dozen of these beauties.

I saw a movie about it once.

Oh, here I am jabbering,

and you're leaking

all over the place.

I'll get you to a guy I know.

He's good with bullets and

he don't ask questions.

Get me to Old Town.

Let me level with you, pal.

You ain't gonna

make it to Old Town.

I'll make it.

I've got too much I've got to do

to let myself die.

Old Town.

He left a lot of blood,

Mrs. Lord.

He won't get far.

You said you knew him.

The killer's name

is Dwight.

Dwight McCarthy.

You knew him in what sense?

Why, the biblical one.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

You've been

so very patient with me.

Here we've barely met,

and already I...

I feel I can trust you.

You can trust me.

We were together for

a while a few years ago.

It went badly.

He went insane.

He started imagining things,

accusing me of things.

He followed me wherever I went.

Recently, he broke into

this very property.

He beat you?

When he drank,

he drank a lot.

You stay with this nutcase?

Never mind that.

You'd be surprised how

much a woman can take.

You were terrified.

It was Damien

who took me away.

He was so gentle and sure.

I suppose I'm a woman

who needs protection.

He made me feel safe.

But then, Dwight,

he found me somehow.

He started calling

me late at night,

making awful threats.

And now Damien's dead

and I'm alone.

Oh, please, Lieutenant!

Call me Mort.

Nothing like a widow

in need of comfort.

I got a stiff y just watching.

Man, she is primed.

Just drop it, Bob.

You don't pass up

a chance like that.

What's the point of

being a Sin City cop,

if you don't get the perks?

I'm a married man, Bob.

I don't care what you are.

I mean, just take

a look at that babe.

That's enough, Bob.

This doesn't look good.

One squad car still chases us.

Must be a rookie driving.

His buddies

should have told him

the girls of Old Town

have laws all their own.

And they don't

take kindly to cops.

Old Town!

Oh, you're a genius, kid!

Here we are, pal.

All of a sudden,

this doesn't look like

the brightest idea

you ever had.

You have ten seconds to tell us

what you're doing bringing cops

to Old Town.

We got us a problem.

I don't fight girls.

Gail...

It's me.

Dwight.

What have they done to you?

A corkscrew

stabs me square in the chest...

...and twists.

Get Molly!

Get everybody.

It's about time.

Hello?

Mrs. Lord.

Lieutenant.

Mort.

You're so kind to call.

I hope I didn't wake you.

No, I wasn't sleeping.

I haven't slept at all.

I'm jumping at every sound,

just knowing

he's still out there.

I guess I'm not

a very strong person.

And me in this house,

all alone.

You shouldn't be so hard

on yourself, Mrs. Lord.

You're having a very

understandable reaction.

If there's anything

at all I can do for you...

I know it's a bad thing

to think of you the way I do.

It's inconvenient.

"But who ever loved,

loved not at first sight?"

I've thought about you

since I saw you.

I'm thinking about you now.

Are you thinking

about me?

Yes.

I hate myself

for saying this, but...

I just don't know if I could

bear to be alone tonight.

My heart beats.

I take in the rich,

burnt smell of coffee.

Gail.

She's reason enough to open my eyes.

Can you hear me, Dwight?

Cops want you bad, Dwight.

Really bad.

But don't worry.

We'll fix you up.

And when we do,

when you're all better,

I'll deck you for leaving

in the first place.

I told you you'd be back.

I told you...

...you belong here.

Jerk!

I thought there was

another world out there.

I thought I could be

a part of it.

There's only Sin City.

Molly said

you're ready to leave.

- No, I'm staying.

- Wrong answer.

Miho?

Deadly little Miho.

If she recognizes me,

she doesn't let it show.

Oh, you picked

the wrong neighborhood

for your hideout.

Alive or dead, you're leaving.

I'm staying.

I don't think

he can feel it, Miho.

Give it a twist.

You won't give with any more

lip about staying here

or Miho will have to exhale.

And that heart Molly worked so hard

to fix will just pop like a grape.

He's staying.

And if you're going to kill him,

you better kill me, too.

Even though he doesn't feel

the same way about me,

he's the only man

I'll ever love.

They all seemed to be waiting

for the other shoe to drop.

Gail drops it.

It was dark in that alley, Miho,

when you were 15.

You killed three of the Tong.

But the last two

had the drop on you.

You were dead,

Until someone appeared.

You never got a good look

at the man who saved you.

Take a look now.

I get more time...

...and more surgery.

Listen, there-there's only

one person

that has anything to gain

from snuffing Damien Lord,

and you're too busy

banging the broad

- to bring her in for questioning.

- You don't know her.

You don't know anything about her,

and I'll be damned if I let you use

that kind of language

when you talk about her.

You're in love with her.

You stupid schmuck.

It's one thing to poke

a babe on the side,

but you can't even

think straight.

Shut the hell up!

I know what I'm doing.

I guess I should've

told you everything.

Damn right you should have.

He raped me.

He almost killed me.

That son of a b*tch.

I thought

I could reason with him,

but he was worse than ever.

His hands at my throat,

strangling me

while he did what

he needed to do.

Not while I'm around.

He'll kill me.

Kill me! Kill me!

I have only you.

I love you, Mort.

Keep me safe.

Keep me! Keep me!

Keep me!

Ava Lord.

For once, you missed my heart.

I'm healing quickly, Ava.

I'll be coming for you soon.

You know where he is,

and you won't do

a damn thing about it.

You don't know

what you're asking.

We have to wait for

Old Town to give him up.

It's the only way.

You're a Sin City cop.

You've got a badge and a gun.

You've got power.

Use it.

If you ever want to have

this woman again,

be a man.

If you're a man,

kill him.

Don't move.

McCarthy.

You never tortured her.

You two cooked that up.

You were her lover.

You're a fool.

The Goddess takes no lover.

The Goddess makes slaves of men.

In an instant, she can

see to the heart of you

and transform

to your deepest desire.

To Damien Lord,

she was the princess bride.

To you, a damsel in distress.

She devoured all of you.

You cannot defeat the Goddess.

She cannot die.

You're as crazy as she is.

If you were as rotten as her,

I would blow

your brains out right now,

but I'm trying to be careful

about who I kill,

and all you did was

pound the crap out of me.

You've already paid

an eye for that.

I'm letting you go

with a warning.

Stay in bed.
