face what's expected of him.

He's no more important

than we let him be.

He's just a man.

And we're goin' catch him ass.

It look to me like while I'm doing overtime

lookin' for him, him livin' my vacation.

- You want a vacation, McKeon?

- No, sir.

- Then tell me something smart.

- Well...

I found out who him's

sleepin' with this week.

Who?

- Isola.

- Isola?

Yeah, man, the witch's niece.

Chief, Governor Chalk just called.

Say him want you over there right now.

Sh*t.

What the hell you mean

tearing up the body at the airport?

Mandatory procedure in homicide.

Looked like someone's trying to

prevent this so badly, it's worth a look.

Remember what happened...

- It was ten years ago.

- The place hasn't recovered.

You can't compare 12 white men

shot by black extremists...

Yes, I can.

So will every a**hole tourist who doesn't

get off the big boat in the next ten years.

If you don't catch Maubee fast,

you gonna be shovelled out of your office

quicker than dog sh*t.

That's not gonna stop me

from finding Pater's killer.

And anyone else

who helped him cover it up.

One of you gentlemen got a match?

This is Mr Miller, Quinn.

He's with Pater Enterprises.

Thanks.

- He's here to tie up loose ends.

- Like what?

I'm here to see that the interests of Pater

Enterprises aren't damaged in any way.

I've already given him the basics.

Why don't you take him to Pater's?

You can fill him in on the way.

You don't think Maubee did it, do you?

Not for me to say.

That's for the courts to decide.

I have a lot of stops to make, and I don't

want to spoil your plans. If you want to...

No, no, no, that's fine. I love it.

Show me everythin' you got.

How you doin', Gumma?

What you want here, boy?

I want to talk to Isola.

She not here.

You try come in here, I fight you.

You fight me, I arrest you.

You can't arrest me.

Me don't do nothin'.

You think I'm jokin', Gumma?

I put a curse on you!

Believe me, I already got a curse on me.

Ah-ah!

You want take me picture, it cost you!

- How much?

- Two dollar.

- This Isola's child?

- Call it what you want.

You don't seem too happy about it.

- What's in the chest?

- Why don't you open it and find out?

You're going to get in trouble

f***in' with me, Gumma.

- Who the hell was that?

- Ubu Pearl, the local witch.

I'm gettin' to like this place

more and more.

I'm lookin' for Maubee.

I don't know why anybody

would be tellin' somebody he be here.

- What about you?

- Not me, man.

I don't know nothing.

Nobody's going to help you catch him,

Chief. Nobody knows sh*t.

Turtle.

- Maybe you saw him.

- Not exactly.

Well, where exactly didn't you see him?

There was a guy

at the Tropic Eagle looking for him.

- What guy?

- A white guy.

- What kind of white guy?

- Kind of a dark white guy.

Wearing silver sunglasses

and a fancy hat. A cowboy hat.

Percy, see to the customers.

Yes, sir.

You're gettin' everything straightened out.

I would consider it a favour if you

wouldn't come here in your uniform.

Why?

Am I upsetting the guests?

You're out of line, Quinn.

This is a resort, not a police station.

The way I dress, Elgin, is the last thing

you should be worried about right now.

What should I be

worried about, Mr Quinn?

You think you have it made, don't you?

You come here and do what you want,

take what you want, kill who you want.

You're f***ing nuts.

- You've gone too far.

- I'm goin' all the way.

No, you won't.

You're finished.

You won't be around, boy.

You watch out, white man.

You watch out.

Now get out of here...

before I have you thrown out.

Call the police.

Look like you're missin' somethin' here.

What do you think it could be?

A court dagger, 18th-century Indonesian

ceremonial machete with a pearl handle.

- Is it the murder weapon?

- Is it?

- How did you get in here?

- The uniform does it.

I heard someone a few weeks ago while

I was sleeping. I came down to check.

- Where was your husband?

- In his bedroom.

Go on.

It was Maubee. He was here to steal.

What?

Anything he could get, I guess.

He got the machete.

He liked it so I gave it to him.

What else?

What else do you do

with a big old tomcat?

If he's friendly, you play.

- I see.

- Do you?

No.

Do you ever let down your guard?

Couple of weeks ago

I shaved off my moustache.

Did your husband know

what happened here that night?

Forget what you're thinking.

Thomas may look like a man of action,

but that's as far as it goes.

- Well, what have you got there?

- Somebody had a look around.

- Who?

- I don't know.

How come this Maubee never did time?

Got a rap sheet a mile long.

Well, local opinion pretty much

takes care of things around here.

You mean the people protect him?

He does things people can't and probably

wish they could. Somethin' like that.

Local legend, huh?

Never grew up, that's all. Just like

everyone else, but he never even tried.

- Peter Pan.

- Bugs Bunny.

You're not Elmer Fudd, are you?

I hope not.

I'm a girl watcher

I'm a girl watcher

Watch girls go by

Mm, my, my, my

I'm a girl watcher

I'm a girl watcher

Watch girls go by

Mm, my, my, my

Oh, yeah, me know, say,

that me want Suzy, me want Patsy

Out.

Patina Jose. This is smudged.

Sorry.

- So, what's your nationality?

- Whatever the visa says.

- What you doin' here?

- Vacation.

- So why you follow me?

- I wasn't.

- How come you have a gun?

- They said this was a dangerous place.

How come the silencer?

- That's the way it came.

- I just read you your rights.

No peace! No quiet!

No place to contemplate my shame!

Bringin' filth and corruption

into this jailhouse.

- Shut up, Coco.

- How long is this going to take?

You're on vacation from where?

Who do you want to see here?

- I told you I don't know anybody.

- $3100 and 65 cents, Chief.

Why don't you take that money?

Call it bail or invest it.

Let me make a phone call.

- Who you want to call?

- Lawyer.

Jump, why you don't

let this man make his phone call?

- Who is he gonna call? He know nobody.

- I'll use the Yellow Pages, OK?

Chief? Dr Raj is on the line.

Say he's ready for you.

- I'll be over in a minute.

- Right.

- You know about the man who got killed?

- I just got here.

- And he was just killed.

- I can't help you.

Oh, try.

- I wouldn't know where to begin.

- Speculate.

- What do you want me to say?

- First thing that comes to mind.

Some Shiite rag-head

with orders from God, OK?

Who knows?

Subsonic, 9mm, modified.

Modified for what?

Kills without a sound.

Muzzle velocity so slow.

You an assassin, Patina?

You with a foreign government?

- Somebody call the police!

- I can make my phone call now?

Pull over, ma'am, and cut your engine.

What seems to be the problem, Officer?

Oh, you in trouble, ma'am.

You obstructin' a roadway here.

With what?

You have a licence for that?

- You'd better watch yourself.

- Why?

- I have connections.

- With who?

I know the chief of police.
