apartment to the night club,

exactly where you said she'd be.

Did you get the right girI?

She fit the description you gave us.

Right.

You know, when I came to

this city, it was in disarray.

Manufacturing was messed up,

corporations were going bankrupt, because

of their problems with the union labor,

but I changed all that.

See I had a lot of cash to lend.

There were borrowers

all around the block.

So basically I...

I painted a new face on the

city, I made it look clean.

So I became Mr. WonderfuI,

with love and respect

from just about everyone.

You respect me, Saphire?

See, I don't think so, because now,

for the first time ever, I got

goddamn cops all around my house.

Because of you, you f***ing moron!

1881, Castaic. That's

where he used to live.

I want you to go there,

gather up the family,

anybody with the name of

Saphire, make 'em go away.

I would love to hear

you beg for your life,

but you'd bore the sh*t out of me.

Go on, Baron. Do what I told you.

So these are all the effects

that were found on the body

of the woman in the photograph.

It's your daughter's passport, driver's

license and multiple credit cards.

You can see how it

would be an easy miss.

You can justify it all

you want, Detective.

You gotta admit, you

and your men were sloppy.

Oh, is that right?

Yeah.

Sure has a lot of plastic for

a 25-year-old, don't you think?

Yeah, well, what can I say?

Girls like to shop, don't they?

Or she got turned upside

down, over-extended.

What's this got to do with the

fact that my daughter's missing?

We're not sure of anything.

TotaI bollocks, the lot of it.

Let me ask you a question, Mr. Walker.

When was the last time you

actually spoke to your daughter?

Are we through here, Detective?

My partner will walk you out.

Taxi.

Do you know a bar called Los Cabos?

Here's 100. Keep it running, I

don't know how long I'm gonna be.

F***ing slag!

Excuse me.

I said, excuse me!

- Can I get a drink?

- What do you need?

How you doing? I want

a whiskey and a pint.

What?

A whiskey and a pint.

$10.50.

$100, keep it.

Thanks.

Let me get a favor. You see that girI?

You ever seen her in here?

No, I've never seen her around here.

You need to take a closer

look at this, try it again.

Have you seen her in here?

Like I said, I've never seen her.

Well, she got nicked right outside at

a DUl checkpoint, about a month ago.

They said she was in here.

You a cop?

I'm a long way from home.

I'm just an interested party.

Now, have you seen her?

Haven't seen her.

Give me another one.

And here's another $100 for you.

Now let me jog your f***ing memory.

Five foot eight, young blonde,

really easy on the eyes.

She got caught by the police about

a month ago leaving this place.

Now, have you seen her or not?

Now I've got your attention.

Her name is Samantha Walker.

Blonde hair, medium height, she's

missing and she's my daughter.

Now, please, please, if there's

anyone who might know anything.

I have $10,000 here in cash.

For any information that might

lead me to her whereabouts.

And the cash is yours, if I

find her where you tell me.

Anyone?

Hey.

I know the girI you're looking for.

Is that right? So where is she?

I tell you that and what's

to guarantee I get paid?

Listen to me carefully, I'm

not playing any games here.

But if you are, I'm

gonna be back for this

and you ain't gonna

want that, do you get me?

The Roux. I saw her there a few times

and then heard she was hanging out with

one of the guys that runs the place.

So let's call this a finder's fee.

You take me to that

place, you get the rest.

That's bullshit, a**hole! I

told you what you wanted to know.

If I found her, that was the

offer and that was the deaI.

I mean, for all I know, you could be

leading me on some wild f***ing chase.

How would I know that?

You want the full 10 grand,

you show me where she is.

Let's go.

That's our guy. Call it in.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

You could be a seriaI

killer, for all I know.

Yeah, that's right.

Something tells me you'd

still drive me around all night

if you thought you were gonna

get your hands on my money.

Whatever.

You know my daughter?

That's what I said, I know her.

So where are you taking me?

To the club in Hollywood.

It's an old warehouse they

transitioned a while back.

- Did she work there?

- I don't know.

Well, you said you saw her

in there, make up your mind.

Yeah, I saw her there. I

don't know what she was doing.

I don't, like, keep track

of her, but I saw her.

Look, if this is gonna

be a waste of my time,

you can pull over now

and give me my money back.

Or you can answer my questions.

What was she involved in and

who was she involved with?

Ricky Cummins, he runs the club.

They came in to Cabos a few

times after hours to score.

And how would you know that?

Because I'm the one that hooked 'em up.

Just get us there.

All right, just be cooI in here. These

guys don't respond well to hooligans.

So what does this geezer look like?

Just let me take care

of it. They know me here.

Look, just tell me,

what does he look like?

Just wait here for

me, I'm cooI with them.

They're not gonna respond to you.

Be cooI, okay?

Excuse me, sorry, sorry, excuse me.

- Hi, sorry.

- No dudes.

Excuse me.

- You and your friends are fine.

Hey, Romeo, I need to talk to you.

I'm busy.

Yeah, I see that. She can take a break.

Hey, you're looking good.

So are you, what's up?

I got this guy with me.

No, no guys. Why are you here?

See the guy in the brown leatherjacket?

He's asking questions

about your girlfriend.

What?

I don't know, look, I just told him

I'd bring him here to talk to you.

Just talk to the guy.

I don't know that guy,

and by the way, no, this

is not happening right now.

- So just...

- Why the f*** did you do that?

I told him I'd bring

him, what am I supposed to do?

- For what, though?

- I don't know.

I don't know what he wants.

Excuse me, hey, is this the guy?

- Listen, I need to talk to you. This him?

- Hey, I don't know you, buddy.

I need to talk to you

for one minute, come here.

F***!

What the...

Pick up! Come on, baby! Pick up!

Honey, pick up the f***ing

phone! Pick up the f***ing phone!

Just settle down.

- AII I want to do is talk to you.

- All right.

Now, listen to me. You see that?

That's my daughter, Sam.

Now she was found dead of

an apparent drug overdose.

But the body they was gonna ship

back to London was that girI.

But you wouldn't know

anything about that, would you?

No, I wouldn't.

Look, I had no idea about that.

I don't know why you're fu...

Okay, I might... I might know

a little something about that.

Right.

She came by the club

a couple of weeks ago.

Two guys like you came,

they picked her up,

that's the last I saw of her.

- I'm telling you the truth.

- Don't give me sh*t.

I told you the f***ing

truth, buddy. Okay?

Lex!

Jesus Christ.

Get over here!

Come here right now, Ricky Cummins!
