The Hard Corps Page #3

...we never expected

no motherf***er...

...with an Uzi to come at us.

I don't recall asking your

dumb ass for an explanation.

And it's Mister Singletery to you.

Come on, hot dog, say something.

Just like a b*tch. Come on.

Yeah, you straight, baby.

Oh, my babies.

Yeah? Yeah? Right.

Look at you, Max.

Max, boy, gonna get you, huh?

That's right.

Yeah, oh, look at that.

Oh, my babies, you've missed Daddy?

You've missed Daddy? Daddy's home.

Daddy's home, okay?

That's right.

Wayne Barclay is a b*tch.

And that motherf***er is still alive and

jeopardizing my business interests!

And did I mention

that I hate that b*tch?

Well, I hate that b*tch.

I paid a lot of money for y'all niggas

to take care of that problem, didn't I?

Didn't I?

I think the babies

are still hungry, boss.

Daddy's been away for a while.

They ain't been fed right.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah. Y'all like that?

That's right. Yeah.

This is for y'all, babies.

Yeah, it's for y'all.

Equal portions all around.

Don't be playing no favorites.

Now, I have many options

before me.

I could ask for a heartfelt apology.

With the promise

that this screwup...

...will never happen again, or...

You know, I know this piece of ass

he be hitting. Named Lydia.

- Lydia?

- I used to score her some smack...

...back when she was stringy.

The b*tch owes me, right?

- Spit it out.

- I'm saying, man...

...the next time Barclay

drops by for a booty call...

...we'll be waiting.

We'll bust a cap in his ass.

Y'all like that?

Ain't nothing tastier

like a fresh piece of raw liver.

All right. We're going to go

with the Lydia plan.

And for y'all sakes...

...you best hope that this b*tch

puts out on a timely basis.

A very timely basis.

Thank you.

Try to sort the rest of it

out by tonight, please.

My brother wants this man on

payroll by tomorrow morning.

Will do, Miss Barclay. Right away.

You people don't mess around.

I ain't got no time to mess around.

We'll just make a quick stop by the

V.A. Facility and pick up your things.

- Pick up my things?

- Yeah. So you can move in with us.

Don't worry.

We've got plenty of room.

Look, I appreciate

you taking care of...

Don't fight me on this,

Mister Sauvage.

We live there.

It's where Wayne's most vulnerable.

Excuse me, but...

...did I miss something?

The other night we hired you

and Mister Bowden for a trial run.

You passed with flying colors.

My brother would now like to make

that position permanent.

And since Mister Bowden is...

...tragically no longer with us...

...we just assumed

that you'd be taking the position.

You want me...

...to be on Mister Barclay's

security team?

No.

We want you to head up the team.

It's not easy for me to make

a snap decision like that right now.

Look, if it's a monetary issue...

It's not that.

I just lost a very close friend.

We're aware of that.

It probably isn't the first time

you've lost a friend in combat.

No.

Mister Sauvage...

...what would Bowden

have wanted you to do?

Mister Sauvage...

...are you sure you wouldn't

rather come and stay with us?

- Miss Barclay...

- Call me Tamara.

Tamara, are you sure?

I mean, about me?

Look, I realize we didn't quite

get off on the right foot...

...Mister Sauvage, my fault entirely.

And I apologize.

Call me Philippe.

All right, Philippe.

Sometimes my overprotective

nature gets the better of me.

Well, Tamara...

...you can delegate that to me now.

Mister Barclay.

Thanks for coming in.

Appreciate the escort.

Cuts traffic like nobody's business.

You think the mayor gonna be jealous?

Until the perps who tried to ice you are

behind bars, we prefer to play it safe.

This way, please. Gentlemen, just

stay here. This won't take long.

- I'll go with Mister Barclay.

- No. You'll stay right here.

This is police headquarters,

he's secure. Trust me.

It's cool. I got it.

I assume you brought me here

for some confidential scoop...

...on the illustrious

Mister Singletery?

Sit, please.

Like maybe... I don't know...

- something about his

impending arrest?

I'm not supposed to tell anybody, but

you got the situation under control.

Sorry, no. As far as I'm told,

he's been keeping his nose clean.

Right. Right.

It's Al-Qaeda trying to take me out.

Bin Laden and them, right?

Do they feed you people stupid-pills

around here or what?

Why am I wasting my damn time?

Mister Barclay...

...take a look at these.

I brought you in here to talk to you

about your new bodyguard.

Sit down, please.

You need to listen to this.

Phillipe Sauvage,

developed some...

...well, lets just call them

psychological issues which...

...initially manifested in Afghanistan

and finally came to a head in Iraq.

There was a massacre

of civilians in Mosel.

Mostly children.

The news services didn't get

the full story, but I did.

Philippe Sauvage is the guy...

...who single-handedly

massacred those kids.

According to military psychologists,

he's a walking time bomb.

And prior to his medical discharge,

he was under lock and key...

...at the psych ward at Walter Reed.

You wanna know why?

The U.S. Army was afraid he was too

dangerous to let loose on the streets.

Why are you telling me all this?

Just trying to do you

a solid, Wayne.

Because you may not have realized

this, but I am one of your biggest fans.

Listen, I know you probably

get asked this all the time...

...but could you possibly?

You got a marker?

This guy, Sauvage...

...he's gonna be responsible

for protecting you.

Your family. Your sister.

I wouldn't want it on my conscience if

something unfortunate was to happen.

How's your cottage?

My cottage.

I've seen a family of 10 living in less.

You should have seen the places

where my brothers and I grew up.

Your brothers? How many?

Just one.

You wanna see

the rest of the house?

Oh, yeah.

I wonder what's keeping Wayne?

Welcome to Wayne's world.

- Would you like a drink?

- No. But thanks.

Oh, come on. Just one.

You're not officially on duty yet.

It's not that. I just shouldn't.

I used to have a problem with that.

- I understand. Sorry I asked.

- It's okay.

So how many people will you

need on your team?

I'm trying to work on a budget.

Half a dozen. More or less.

I just finished making a few calls.

All right, here you go.

Good old H2O. Can't argue with that.

- To new partnerships.

- To new partnerships.

- You play pool?

- I didn't play for a long time.

Cool. Why don't we play a game?

Let's see what you got.

So, Philippe, do you have any family?

Not really.

Bowden and some of those guys

at the funeral...

...that's basically my family.

Oh, thank you.

You ever been married?

Never could sit still long enough.

- What about you?

- Oh, tried that one before.

Now I'm married to my job.

You think it's easy

managing my brother?

Long as I can remember...

...he's always been the spender,

and I've been the saver.

He's the one who

put me through college.
