The Iceman Page #6

Synopsis: In the 1960s, Richard Kuklinski is working as a porn film lab tech until his mob bosses persuade him to change his career into that of a contract killer. For years, Kuklinski gains a reputation for cold blooded professionalism even as he raises a family who are kept in the dark about his true career. Unfortunately, mob politics ultimately forces him to secretly work independently with the psychopathic Robert 'Mr. Freezy' Pronge. As much as Kuklinski tries to keep his lives separate, circumstances and his own weaknesses threaten a terrible collision as the consequences of his choices finally catch up to him.

Ritchie.

I got in a deal

with the wrong guys.

They want the interest paid

before I sell the currency.

And they came here to collect?

They're not from the bank.

You are full of sh*t, Ritchie.

Yeah... yeah.

All right, I'm going back

down. You should come.

Dad? What is going on?

It's okay, honey.

Are you coming back

to the party?

I'll be down

in a second, sweetie.

F***!

Yeah, I got

this guy in Connecticut, Sam Gunderson.

He fences Corvettes to Kuwait.

For every one you bring him, he 'll

give you 40 percent on the window price.

What's the game plan?

You just scout the dealership,

pretend you want to buy.

T ake a test drive,

and you get a key made.

Come back later and take it off the lot.

Just like that?

What about you?

What about me?

I was just thinking.

I got nothing to do with it.

You asked me to hook

you up with a job, I did.

Thank you, Ritchie.

Thank you.

There's a York Motel

in Jersey City.

Tomorrow night I'll

introduce you to Sale.

Okay. Uh, I forgot to

tell you.

I met your friend Roy Demeo at Yawns.

Yeah, I heard about that.

He pretended

he didn't know you.

That's okay.

I'll see you tomorrow, Terry.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

You want to be

my friend, Terry?

Then you keep

your f***ing mouth shut.

Oh! Oh! Oh my.

What did Santa get me?

Oh.

Oh, oh, my...

Let me see.

You like it?

Oh...

Mm, I love you.

I love you.

Look at this.

Um, Dad.

Can you believe this. I

can't believe I got it.

I have got to try this on.

Mom, is it okay

if I go over to Amanda's?

It's Christmas Day.

I know, I know, but I just, I want to

give her a present before she leaves.

An hour, tops.

Okay, okay.

All right, look at how it...

Oh, my gosh.

This is, this is... So pretty.

Honey, I can't get the clasp.

Damn.

Where are you going?

I'll be right back.

On Christmas Day? Honey.

Yeah, yeah. I know, Deb.

I'll be right back.

Leo's f***ing paranoid.

He thinks Roy knows

he ordered the hit.

So now he's only offering

ten Gs. You there?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's been three

months already. Come on.

Listen, we'll take

the ten grand.

It's generous

considering the circumstances.

Atlantic City can wait.

No.

This is it. This money, this job.

No, we'll wait for this to

settle, and put the word out.

Two or three more jobs, you can

put a down payment on Steel Pier.

Where is he going to be at?

Dad? It's a cemetery in Bergen.

Dad?

Hey! F***.

Hello?

Yes, yes, I'm here.

Leo Marks is not man we can

f*** with. Do you hear me?

Dad, it's not working.

I said I'm on the f***ing

phone! Polack. Hello?

We did him in a crowded club.

That's a risk

I don't normally take.

Forty plus ten was the deal.

You've ruined my f***ing Christmas.

You're lucky you get away with ten.

You promised fifty.

And Chamberlain promised peace.

You know who that is?

I agreed to meet with you because I was

told you were going to give a discount.

Three months.

You keep me waiting

three months.

Fifty is a discount.

Fifty is a f*** you.

You and Freezy better

get your story straight.

Leo, I just want to go home.

I just want my money.

Hm.

You got some pair of balls.

You f*** up a job and

now you want your money.

No, now that Roy

knows I hired you,

you get nothing.

Give me the money, Leo.

Get the f***

out of my car, Polack.

Yeah!

Hey, don't you f***ing do that.

You don't f***ing do that.

You're a dead man.

Look, you're good

at what you do. Okay?

Don't f*** it up any more

than you already have.

Now just get out of here.

Go.

Go home to your family.

Life can be

very random sometimes.

Yeah. You're right.

What the f***?

Goddamn it!

You f***! You f***!

Hello?

Betsy? You paged me?

Yes, Daddy.

There was an accident. It's

Anabel. She's in the hospital.

What happened, honey?

It was a hit and run.

We're at Glen Heights Hospital.

Come on.

Come now, please!

Honey.

Hey.

Hey, sweetie. Come here.

Come here, sweetie.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Hey. That's my...

I'm going to go in, okay.

Okay.

Just sit down.

Sit down.

This is the end of it.

There ain't going to be

nothing else to be afraid of.

I promise.

I didn't know I

was supposed to be afraid.

What did the cops say? Uh, they

say a hit and run, no witnesses?

Did they get a make

and model on the car?

I don't know. Well,

didn't you talk to them?

This was done on purpose.

They were just waiting

for her, Ritchie.

Three blocks from our house.

No, don't you touch her.

I'm going to find out

who did this.

Yeah, you better.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Sorry! I'm sorry!

You're looking a little

pale, Polack. How are you?

I'm not sure. Why are

you all cleaned up?

Yeah, well, let me give you a clue.

We both should

be scared shitless.

Well, they're not looking

for an ice cream truck.

I know, they're looking for the Iceman.

Lucky son of a b*tch.

I ought to charge you royalties

for headlines like that.

That was your friend,

right? Guy outside the club?

Yeah, but he's not my friend.

No sh*t.

Listen, it's only

a matter of time now.

Roy knows he's a dead man unless

you come forward on Leo Marks.

He's got to prove you

pulled the trigger.

My wife.

Our kids.

They're all f***ing

threats now.

Doesn't matter if they love you

if they think

you're a murderer.

Maybe there's a way we

can do each other a favor.

What?

Kill my family.

You kill mine, I'll kill yours.

I know where you live. I

wouldn't even wake you up.

Listen, the way I see

it, it's a lose lose.

Either we get pinched,

or Roy finds us.

Either way, we go away

and everybody suffers.

How do you know?

What?

How do you know where I live?

Course I know where you

live. You mentioned it.

Nah. I never

told you that.

F***!

What the f***

is wrong with you?

Get your hand out

of your pocket.

I'm getting a f***ing tissue.

Relax!

F***! Jesus Christ!

You know, considering

your nerves

maybe we should renegotiate

our little partnership, pal.

Can I blow my

nose now? Jesus Christ.

What's up, Ritchie?

Sh*t. Hey.

I'm f***ing exhausted.

How do you know this guy?

He used to work with me.

Yeah?

Chopping twenties at the store.

Sister used to work for a chemist,

so he's probably your best bet.

You trust him?

Do I trust him?

Yeah, I guess.

It's not my usual thing,

but he gets whatever I need.

I know him from Brooklyn.

Dominick Provenzano?

Yeah.

I'll give him a shot. I

got to kill this cocksucker.

Ritchie, you don't hurt

a guy like Roy Demeo

without something

happening to you, you know?

Yeah, that's why I need

it. There can't be a trace.

He's coming after my family.

How do you know it's him?

Because, he said he was

going to come after my family.

Then get the f*** out of town.

Take Deb and the kids

and get out of here.

Do you need money or something? Nah.

Nah, I got to take

care of this first.

Did you hear about

Terry? Yeah. It's sad.

It's f***ing crazy. They're

calling him the Iceman.

Terry tells me he's got
