The End of Violence Page #6

can really cut to the heart of the matter.

Ready or not.

Yeah, well, I can feel

it cutting right now.

I'll just go.

Try and make

the most of it.

Whew.

Sh*t.

Huh.

Hey!

# My heart #

# animals on wheels #

# faster, faster

animals on wheels #

# faster all the time #

you sure you didn't break

something? No, it's okay.

Don't worry, I won't sue.

Well, I gotta say, you

know how to tell a story.

It must all seem

completely bizarre to you.

Just a little.

And if it's all true,

you're gonna have

to trust someone.

You know, I hate it in movies when

the guy running from the government...

meets a well-intentioned,

beautiful girl,

gives her

top-secret information.

That character,

she always dies.

Look, just because some real FBI

guy believes in movies so much...

doesn't mean

you have to.

He doesn't know any better.

You should.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm

not exactly the stupid actress...

who stands at the edge of

the cliff screaming for help.

No.

You're the stupid stuntwoman

who jumps off the cliff.

This is a lot more dangerous

than the cliff.

Define "dangerous."

It comes up fast...

and...

you see those two guys

over there?

If I went for a piss,

they would eat you alive.

Those two guys?

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey!

Party just started.

hey, easy.

Guys, can we do

a little negotiation here?

Ow!

Fight!

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

Nobody ever gave me

a break before.

I guess I didn't want

to let you down.

This is the name and the

number. Don't use it yourself.

Wait until you find somebody

capable you can absolutely trust.

Like I trust you.

You've been through a lot lately.

Why don't you lie low for a while?

You know, Doc, I've known

guys like you over the years.

Sharp, tenacious,

real prize winners,

generally obsessed over the dangerous

cases you've been taken off of.

Truth is, there's usually

some kind of personal motive.

Some hook in the gut. Is that

what's going on with you, Doc?

What's going on with me is that

you're trying to infect me...

with your good old-fashioned cynicism,

so I doubt myself and decide...

that we're really not trying

to cover up some...

covert, totally illegal,

murderous operation.

Listen, you just

watch your step.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

I think we found Cat.

We ran a trace on a letter to her

brother in Seattle on his birthday.

It's from south central. We're

verifying the address right now.

Thank you.

Hi there. Can you tell

me where number 14 is?

Up there.

Thank you.

A cop! A cop! Let's go in the car.

I'm Doc.

I'm here to see Cat.

You must be Ade.

Hmm.

So, you here as a cop

or as a human being?

Umm...

human cop possible?

Hmm.

Flying camel possible?

Seen 'em.

Rare but beautiful.

Okay, I am here

as a human being.

Welcome.

Cat's told me

all about you.

The Doc's here on a

social call, blanche.

It's okay.

I realized after, uh... after

they tried to close the case...

and stop me from digging, even

on my own time, that, uh...

this instinct

I had about you...

that you had some

valuable information,

some key to the whole puzzle and

that I had to see you... was...

based on nothing

except that...

I wanted to see you.

I wanted to see you

more than anything.

- Really?

- Truly.

Took you a while

to find me.

You were

pretty well-hidden.

It's nice to see you.

I thought that, um,

maybe you came by because you'd heard...

you'd heard

that I'd met with Mike.

What? You saw Mike?

Since he disappeared?

Briefly. We had a few beers.

You had a few beers with

Mike? Are you kidding?

What happened? What did

he say? Hey, flashback.

Remember, we have

an agreement.

You are on a special visa, or you can

fly your camel ass outta here. Okay?

He's a missing person, and

this is a double murder case.

That's just the tip of

the iceberg. All right.

By the way,

I love you.

They missed him.

I'm, uh, just going for

something to eat, guys.

Come out.

I could've killed you.

I've been considering that.

Yeah, me too.

I've been considering a lot.

I've been watching you.

I think you've been doing

more than considering.

You were here,

weren't you?

You were here before.

You took your organizer.

I could feel you,

just like I felt you now.

You came right in,

but you didn't say anything.

You let me wonder.

You haven't communicated once

in two months...

not a call, not a message.

I could feel you

punishing me.

It hurt.

I couldn't communicate

with you.

It was too dangerous for

both of us. For both of us?

A guy slipped me a government file, an

FBI file. Now they're trying to kill me.

Did you kill those

two guys? No, I didn't.

I could kill you

right now.

Somebody tell me just the

other day, like a voice...

# somebody tell me

just the other day #

# like a voice from heaven

while I'm riding on the freeway #

look.

All I can think of while they had the

gun to my head was how much I loved you.

I think it saved me.

I pictured you...

starting over again...

but starting over

in a better way.

I guess Guatemala

is out of the question.

I'm not kidding around.

Everybody thinks you're dead...

or a murderer,

a fugitive.

I can't turn myself in.

Don't you see?

Who can I turn myself

in to? Good question.

I see who you've turned yourself

into. Kinda like looking in a mirror.

No.

It's me, Paige.

It doesn't matter. You're an

intruder in the middle of the night.

I'd have every right to

kill you, every right.

It's nice to see you so

motivated. People change.

Maybe. It feels good to

be appreciated sometimes,

to have someone

support you emotionally,

to have someone who gives a sh*t

about who you really are inside.

Say, baby.

Baby, you down there?

I'm coming.

You want some water?

I want you, baby.

You got it.

I keep the company

and the house.

When everything's settled,

I'll send you half the cash.

You would've never let me have

half. You would've wiggled out of it.

You bastards always do.

If there's anything specific

you want, you let me know now.

The robe.

- What?

- I want your robe.

If you think I'm gonna...

it's just a robe.

Hmm? That's all I want.

- Then you'll leave?

- Mm-hmm.

- That's the deal.

- Half the cash later.

The robe now.

Say, baby, you all right? Yeah!

I'm coming! Oh, could

you put some music on?

Half my kingdom for a robe.

It's a pretty good deal...

even in Hollywood.

Mmm.

First time I've seen it with a woman

with a gun who takes her clothes off.

I like it.

Now everybody has
