The Samaritan Page #3

---

Then you walked in.

After you took off,

I told Ethan

I'd find a way to pay him back,

but I wasn't doing

what he wanted.

I went to that bar

because of him,

but everything since

has been because of you,

Okay.

I just wanted the truth.

I'm sorry.

Promise me

you'll never lie to me again.

I promise you the same.

I promise, and I'm sorry.

Don't be.

Hey, come on in.

Listen, you want a drink?

I got some...

I'm here to talk business.

Okay.

So you're finally ready

to be partners.

That's good news.

No, no, no, no.

See, you misunderstand.

You and me, we're never gonna

work together.

Never say never.

I'm here about iris.

I know what's been going on.

You do?

Yeah.

I don't know, foley.

You know, I've been

watching you real close,

and I don't think you know sh*t.

In fact, I think

you're totally f***ing clueless.

You remember Jake, right?

Yeah, he sure remembers you,

Sorry about that,

but Jake was kind of pissed

at you.

So... Right about now,

Jake is sitting in a car

outside of iris' apartment,

and if I don't call him

in ten minutes,

he's gonna go upstairs,

f*** her,

and cave her head in with a bat.

Or maybe he'll cave her head in

and then f*** her.

You think I'm gonna-what?

Forgive you for killing my dad?

You owe me, foley,

and I know exactly how

you're gonna pay your debt.

You're gonna make me $8 million.

$8 million is the price

of the bullet

you put

in your best friend's head

to save your sorry ass.

Ethan, listen to me...

No, you listen to me!

I have got a mark

primed and ready to go,

but he does things old-school,

so I need someone old-school

to help me take his money.

You don't want my help.

You want to get me back

for what I did.

No, this is about

what you're going to do,

which is exactly what I say,

or I make sure that iris

finds out something about you

that she really, really

doesn't want to know.

Look, me and iris

already told each other

every f***ed-up thing

we've ever done in our lives.

You can't get me like that.

We have no secrets.

Got to know a secret

to tell a secret.

Your old girlfriend,

Tess Armstrong,

told you that she had her

little problem taken care of,

she kept it.

I have a kid?

You got too used

to thinking small,

stuck inside that shitty little

prison cell all those years.

And now, inside

that shitty little apartment

where the two of you

have been playing house.

Except you're the one

who's been played.

She's your daughter.

Iris... "Is."

Your... No, no.

Daughter.

No, no.

Your precious, little baby girl.

I should shoot you right now

for even saying

some sh*t like that to me.

She's your daughter.

That's a lie!

The night you met iris,

face-to-face

with your own flesh and blood

you had no clue.

No clue.

It was priceless.

You gonna kill me, foley?

Then what'?

How long do you think it'll take

the cops to figure it out'?

No, you're gonna do

whatever I say.

You know all iris' secrets,

So you know that she's had some

close calls with a razor blade.

You know, I wonder

how it'll make her feel,

knowing all this time

she's been f***ing her...

F***!

That is the last time

you do that.

You know, I almost

feel sorry for you.

After all these years of putting

the frame on your marks,

now who's the mark'?

You got about six minutes

to make up your mind.

Call him.

Excellent decision.

- Sh*t.

- What?

Nothing. He just...

He's not answering his phone.

Give me your car keys.

If he's touched

her, kill yourself.

Hey, b*tch-cakes.

You miss me?

. No!

See that'!

That's from foley.

Eye for an eye'

You all right'?

It's all right. It's all right.

Okay orgy.

All right, all right, all right,

look, I have to get him

out of here,

then I'm probably

gonna have to lay low

in case there's heat, okay?

You mean we're gonna

have to lay low...

You and me, together.

No, no, it's smarter

if we slay apart.

What happened with Ethan?

- I took care of it.

- What does that mean?

It means I took care of it!

You don't have to deal with him

anymore!

- What's going on?

- Nothing!

Look, iris, I cannot

go back to prison.

I have to get him out of here

before the police come.

Don't say anything to anyone'

I don'! Have anybody to tell.

You're the person

I tell everything.

Come on, piece of...

Xavier's gonna f***ing end you.

Hey!

These are for the guy in 3602.

His car's in the usual spot.

Celia?

You're out.

You look the same.

Older, but the same.

Celia, do I have a daughter'?

How did you find out'?

You were in prison a long time.

Tess wanted to be rid of you.

When she passed,

I respected her decision.

So what did Tess tell the kid

about who her father was?

Said he died in a car crash.

By that time, Tess was sick.

Kids don't question things

when their whole world

is falling apart.

Look, foley,

you're better dead to her.

Yeah,

I know that's hard to hear,

but she's got a life now.

She doesn't need to know

the kind of people

she came from,

could you tell me her name?

I'm not gonna go look for her

or anything.

I just want to know.

Iris.

Her name is iris.

Thanks, Celia.

What are you doing?

Get out of my house!

What did you tell Ethan

about me?

What?

Who do you think did that to me?

Jesus, foley,

what did he do to you?

I'm sorry.

J'-I'

You disappear for a week.

Not a f***ing word to

let me know you're even alive,

but you're sorry?

I spent half my life in prison.

In there, the decisions

are made for you.

All this out here?

It's new to me.

I got things to sort out.

And in order to do that,

I need time.

Time... Time away from all this.

Time... Away from you'

you're lying.

We said no lies.

Iris I know when you're lying'

so you might as well

just tell me the truth.

That is the truth.

You have to trust me.

Look, we can't see each other

right now.

It'd be best if you left

I can'! Tell you why.

Look, if I didn't have to,

I wouldn't ask.

You want me to trust you,

but you won't even trust me

with the truth?

If I told you

it was for your own protection,

you would just tell me

you could protect yourself.

- I can.

- I know.

And I know you can see through

any story I tell you.

You're supposed to be

the one person

I can always tell the truth'

but I can't.

And I'm asking you again...

Please, trust me.

Let's just get out of here'

we'll go somewhere hot,

with beaches

and fat tourists to rip off.

I'll plan every detail.

All you have to do is say yes,

I have money I can give you,

just take it

and go as far away as you can.

Don'! Tell me where.

How long'?

A few weeks. A month, maybe.

Or longer?

Or never'?

No, no, baby, not never.

Iris.

J'-I'

look, I need your help.

Got myself in a bit of trouble'

I mean, nothing of my doing

but something I can'! Shake.

What are we talking about here?

Local guy,

moves a lot of product.

Could be a big catch.

You want to go informer'?

You're my parole officer, right?

Isn't this

what I'm supposed to do'?
