The Big Easy Page #3

I'm very embarrassed.

Oh, no, don't be embarrassed.

Just relax, darling.

This is The Big Easy.

Folks have a certain

way of doing things down here.

I've noticed.

Oh, stop that!

Stop what?

That.

- What?

- That.

What, that, or that?

If I said that I loved you,

would you turn away,

afraid of what you

think you're supposed to say

that's all right, baby

'cause I already know

I can see it in your eyes

I can feel it in your voice

Believe me, baby,

you got no choice

Come here.

(beeping)

Anne:
Yours or mine?

Remy:
Mine.

Sh*t.

McSwain, this better be good!

What, slow down a minute.

All right, I'll be right there.

Sh*t!

What is it?

A triple murder in Storyville.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

I never did have

much luck with sex anyway.

Your luck is about to change.

Oh boy, ooo-la-la!

How long does a murder take?

A couple of hours at least.

Come back.

You sure?

I'm sure.

We'll talk about

the Angelo case.

Sure!

Oh!

(shouting)

(siren)

(shouting)

Hey, Hollywood, why don't

you call your mother on the phone.

She hadn't heard

from you in over a week.

Hey, when the hell you going

to make an honest woman of her?

She ain't going to

marry me until I retire.

Yeah, that'll be the day.

(glass shattering)

What, we got a carnival

going on here or what?

Hey, what the hell's going on?

There's a couple

of kids spreading a rumor

that the killers were

in an unmarked police car.

Great, that's all we need.

Don't be looking at us

'cause you all did it!

All right to roll him over,

lieutenant?

Yeah, roll away.

Whooo!

Jamaal Washington, huh?

Hey, Jack, everything

under control out there?

Oh yeah, the riot's

kind of turned into a party.

Oh man, I love this town.

You remember Miss Anne Osborne.

It's very nice to see you again.

Yeah, you too.

The D.A.'s office is interested

since there's an allegation

of police officer involvement.

You believe every

rumor you hear?

Do you have any evidence

one way or the other?

Right now we got two

unknown white male suspects,

not officers, suspects.

And one unsubstantiated rumor.

Anything on the victims yet?

Yeah.

You don't want to see this guy.

He kind of lost his face.

We have to wait for

a fingerprint I.D. on him.

The third victim I

think is a Nobliet brother,

also narcotics and

runner for Daddy Mention.

Who's Daddy Mention?

He handles the black side

of narcotics.

Vinnie "The Cannon",

you met him the other day,

he's got the white action.

Anne.

Why don't you believe

the killers were cops?

If they were cops,

they would have stayed here.

When we arrived we would

have found plants: guns, knives,

all kinds of evidence

that they resisted arrest.

Something every cop

knows how to do.

Doesn't surprise me.

You probably know how to

bribe a jury too; don't you?

Even though you

probably never have, huh?

Hey, Remy, look what I got.

It feels like about a kilo.

That's great work,

Dodge, really great work.

Hey!

Why don't we pass it around

and all put our fingerprints on it?

What's this?

Heroin, Mexican brown.

Somebody's been

using shotguns here, so...

I figure Tandino.

Carmine Tandino, hit man for

Vinnie "The Cannon. "

Shotguns are his signature.

Resulting in spaghetti sauce.

Captain, you want to take over here.

I think I should take

Miss Osborne home.

Oh, thank you very much.

Watch your step.

Don't they make a lovely couple.

Hey, we'll go to my apartment.

It's closer, all right?

Huh?

After a while you

get used to stuff like that.

You get hardened.

Everybody gets sick the first time.

Don't be embarrassed.

I'll be fine.

Let me know if you're going

to throw up, I'll pull over.

I'm not going to throw up.

You think Carmine Tandino killed

those men tonight, right?

Even with your head in the toilet

you still want to talk business?

Yeah, I think Carmine Tandino

killed those boys tonight.

Therefore, they must

have murdered Freddy Angelo.

I'd say you're right again.

What does that do to your

theory that the Angelo murder

was a message for Vinnie

"The Cannon" to retire?

Now we know who sent it,

Daddy Mention.

Now we're dealing

with something more than

one wise guy killing

another wise guy.

Well, we sure are.

What's that supposed to mean, huh?

Is Carmine Tandino

the only person in the world

who uses a shotgun

to kill people?

No, but he's one of the few

who turns a profit at it.

You don't think the cops

had anything to do with this?

Cops don't do that sort of thing.

Not even the rad cops.

You're always accusing

the cops of everything.

Okay, then how do you explain...

Hey, hey, hey,

How do you feel now, huh?

Does this stuff ever get to you?

Who me?

Bullets bounce off me.

You are never afraid?

All the time.

Look out for the gator, baby.

(music plays

singing in cajun)

Ahhhh!

Oh sh*t, who are you?

I'm Bobbie, Remy's brother.

You scared the hell out of me!

Where did you come from?

I spent the night here on the couch.

Oh my god, excuse me.

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

Hey, I just went down

to get us some breakfast.

I'm sorry, I'm really

late for a meeting.

I have to get to work.

- Hey, I'll drive you down there.

- It's okay, I'll take a cab.

- Did you meet my brother?

- Kind of.

Hey, sugar, is something wrong?

What's for breakfast?

Your ass!

Jesus Christ, Remy,

you scared the sh*t out of me!

Don't just walk

into an interrogation room

without knocking, man!

Where are the Storyville witnesses?

Hi. I heard you dudes saw

something last night in Storyville

around the time those

three guys got stovepiped.

They said you saw

an unmarked police car.

What are you talking about?

We was home watching TV.

We didn't see nothing.

Andre, take their statements;

then let them go home.

You be nice to Andre.

That's "we didn't see nothing. "

"We was home watching TV."

Is that right, gents?

You say you love me once,

but I want to hear it twice.

Get me out of here;

I hate this job!

Property's a dirty job, Dewey.

You're next in line.

Remy, remember the guy

who lost his face last night?

Look what the morgue

guys found in his pocket.

Ah, Freddy Angelo's drivers license.

Beautiful, I knew

those guys killed Freddy.

All right.

And what time did he leave?

You're sure?

Bop-bop-a-do-bop-bop.

Carmine Tandino

has an airtight alibi.

He was at Moscos with his wife

and half his family until four a. m.

I've got 12 witnesses

who corroborate his story.

You know who owns Moscos;

Carmine Tandino's nephew.

It's a very popular spot for alibis.

I'm going to talk to Carmine myself.

Remy, I got Anne Osborne on line.

Do you want me to

tell her you're not here?

No, I'll take it myself.

- I can tell her you're not here.

- No, really, I'll take it.

Miss Osborne,

I haven't got the forensics

or the ballistics report

back yet, so...

I didn't call about that.

Look, Remy, I'm very

sorry about this morning;

About the way

I just ran out like that.

Me too.

I'm sort of confused.
