Sin City Page #3

Heads on the wall. The heads on the...

Son of a b*tch. He kept smiling that damn smile

made me watch him... suck the meat off my fingers

He made me watch. He made me watch!

Christ, I could use a cigarette

Dames. Sometimes all they got to do is let it out

and a few buckets later, there's no way you'd know

You brought us some big trouble this time, Marv

Whoever's behind this little thing, has his connections right in the department

Any leads?

Whoever it is, he knew I was checking out that hooker almost before I did

What hooker?

The one you've been obsessing over. The dead one. Goldie

I didn't know she was a hooker

It doesn't make any difference about anything

But I didn't know that

She was high class stuff

She must've shown you quite a time

Wait. There's a car coming

Kevin

All I've got is a face... and a name

I'll see you later, Kevin

Let's go

They've done checking the house. They're coming this way

Bastards, I'll show them

You're not going to get any of us killed, Marv

No, don't shoot. Please, listen to me. I'm his parole officer

He's unconscious and unarmed. So there's no need to kill him

Captain. The target. There's no sign of him

Here's a sign

That there is one damn fine coat you're wearing

I keep coming back to that cop I just killed and what he told me

I was pretty steamed about what he'd done to Lucille

So I took my time with that son of a b*tch

It wasn't until I showed him all those pieces of himself that he said... just a name

Patrick Henry Roark. Man of the cloth

He could've become President, but he chose to serve God

And along the way, he just happen to become the most powerful man of the State

He's brought down mayors and governors like they were nothing

He even made his rotten brother a U.S. Senator without breaking a sweat

And here he's going to get killed in the name of a dead hooker

I'm getting used to the idea. More and more, I'm liking the sound of it

Then it hits me like a kick in the nuts

What if I'm wrong?

I've got a condition

I get confused sometimes

And with Lucille dead, I can't get my medicine

What if I've imagined all of this

What if finally turn into what they've always said I was going to turn into

A maniac

A psychokiller

Can't kill a man without knowing for sure you ought to

I've got to know for sure

The merchandise is on display, by the time I make my way to Old Town

For an hour or so, I ask around about Goldie

I don't get any answers, but I know I'm bound to

Lucille said Goldie was a hooker

And if she was, she has roots here. Friends, maybe even family

You can't be Goldie. Goldie's dead

Goldie. Yeah, sure, right.

I haven't eaten anything or taken my medicine for days now

No wonder I'm seeing things

Bastard

He's crazy

Hit him again, Wendy... harder

Wait a minute. Why did she call you Wendie?

Because that's my name, you ape

Goldie was my sister

My twin sister

I guess she was the nice one

Goldie and the other 6. Where are they? What did you do to them?

You crazy goddamn broad. Just take a look at this mug.

Would any of you dames let me get close enough to you to kill you?

None of you would. But Goldie...

And only she did because she thought I could protect her

And I'll bet those cops didn't do a damn thing about those other girls tonight

But as soon as they hit me for a fall guy, they showed up, guns blazing

But they didn't get me

And I've been killing my way to the truth ever since

So go ahead doll... shoot me now. Or get the hell out my way

Nuts

OK, I better be getting all that sorted out

What the hell?

I tied those knots. That's my specialty

You sat there and took it, when you could've taken my gun away from me anytime you wanted to

Well, sure. I thought I might be able to talk some sense into you

And I probably would've had to paste you one

And I don't hurt girls

We need a pair of handcuffs

What style you want? I got a collection

Just give him the ones you got with you, Gail

It was a farmboy named Kevin who killed Goldie

But it was Cardinal Roark who was behind him and I don't know why

I know that sounds crazy

No it doesn't

Goldie worked the Clergy

Just like that, a whopper of a puzzle piece falls smack in my lap

I'm too dumb to put the whole picture together yet, but...

she fires up 2 cigarettes and hands me one and i taste her lipstick on it

and suddenly my heart's pounding so loud I can't hear anything else

I wanna reach over and touch her and taste Goldie's sweat 1 more time

but she isn't Goldie

Yeah, yeah, this'll do

I'm also going to be needing a dozen 2-foot lengths of

This rubber tubing

And a spool of razor wire

A pair of those special gloves that'll... let me handle the wire

Beefing up the old home security, huh?

You bet your ass

She was my sister

So I'm in this one to the end

But why are you willing to go up against Roark for someone you barely know

She was nice to me. Gave me something I didn't even know existed

I wasn't never even able to... buy a woman. Yeah, the way I look

I take my mind off her and I crawl back inside myself

It's almost killing time, and I better get sharp

I check the list

Rubber tubing

Gas

Saw

Gloves

Cuffs

Razor wire

Hatchet

Gladys

And my mits

We're close enough. Pull over

Yes, Marv

Keep the engine running

If I'm not back in 20 minutes, you get the hell out of here. Don't look back

Kill him for me, Marv

Kill him good

I won't let you down

Heading downstairs to the kitchen. Getting himself a midnight snack

And I can guess what kind

Come on, you son of a b*tch

Damn, he's slick

Is that the best you can do, creep?

That's right. Get personal, get close. I can take it

I got you, you little bastard. Let's see you hop around now

I try to slow my heart down and breath the fire out of my lungs

My muscles make me a 1,000 promises of pain to come

Let me do it, Marv

She was my sister, let me finish him

You wasn't supposed to come down here, Wendy

Oh, but I wanted to ki...

I'm sorry kid, but I haven't even started with this creep

and I don't want you watching the rest

it'll give you nightmares

God, I got to tell you, I'm good and bushed

It's not that fight of our that did me in either

It's all that sawing and tying

It's not as easy as it looks

It could've been a real mess around here if I didn't have that tubing for... turniquettes

I got to admit... there was a spurt or 2

You get the scent in the air. To get that friend of yours to come running

Well, what do you know. Look who's here

Here he comes

That's a good dog

He doesn't scream. Not even when the mutt's had its fill

and Kevin's guts are lying all over the place

but somehow the bastard is still alive, still staring at me

Not even when I grab the saw and finish the job

He never screams

I put in a call to Katie's and ask Nancy to get her clothes on and meet me at her place

She say's "Yes" like always

Hey, Nancy. You got any beers?

Sure, Marv. Who's the babe?

There isn't much of anything Nancy wouldn't do for me
