The Set Up Page #5

---

trying to say, Saunders?

The warden said

the price went up.

No no no.

We had a deal.

Yeah, you paid for a year's

worth of protection.

And now you're gonna

have to pay more.

You want the old man kept

in protective custody?

You pay $100,000 upfront.

This is bullshit.

How long do you think

that old man's

gonna stay in

the general population?

I give him two days before

the brothers cut him a new one.

You want that on your head?

I know you're about family,

so do the right thing, Vince.

Be the good son.

You'd better think this through

before you pull that trigger.

You f*** up with us

and your old man's

a stain on the floor.

Got it?

You got 24 hours.

Or we feed him to the animals.

Get out.

Mia's dead.

What do you want me to say?

Say f***ing something.

Anything.

There's nothing to say.

You don't even

want to know how?

It doesn't f***ing matter.

You're out there making

mistake after mistake.

And you wonder why she's dead?

What am I doing wrong?

Well, Sonny for one.

How do you know

about Sonny?

He came to visit me.

He sat right where

you're sitting right now

on the other side of this glass

and he looked me in the eye.

Can you do the same?

I'm doing my best.

Well, it's not good enough.

What am I supposed to do?

You really are a little sh*t.

You know that?

I never thought

I'd have to say that.

Big men make

big moves, Vincent.

Are you a big man?

I knew Biggs

had to be hot on my trail.

You don't take $2 million

from a guy like that

and expect him

to forget about it.

No no, you've got

to explain it to me again.

The same guy that

shot you whacked Petey,

took my money, and you want me

to believe that?

Yes.

I told you I was looking for him

when you first grabbed me, remember?

You think I'd be sitting here

if I had your money?

Sh*t, I ain't crazy.

What?

- Where's my money?

- Vincent has your money.

Your friend Vincent?

Yes.

I know where Vincent is

and I know where the money is.

There's just one problem.

He's got an army around him.

An army of juvenile

delinquents with pistols?

Give me some of your men and we'll go

get the money and bring it right back.

I have a different plan.

Come on.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm cool.

You sure?

All right.

You want a drink?

No thank you.

Might help you relax a little.

Why is it rich people

are always telling me to relax?

'Cause you're young.

You're a young man.

Young guys just want

to run through their life

as fast as they can.

Set it up, knock it down.

Set it up, knock it down.

It's short, real short.

You get to be my age

you see just how short it is.

The older you get, the closer

you get to your death,

you want to relax.

You want to take your time.

There's no rush, kid.

You sure you don't want

that drink?

Yeah, I'll take a drink.

- Bourbon or Scotch?

- Bourbon.

Crap.

You should know I hate

this John R prick.

Just let me do the talking

when we get there, all right?

Hey, you go to church?

I used to.

It got to a point they didn't want

to see me there anymore.

I still help them out

with donations.

I could see those priests

up there sweating.

I made them nervous.

So you believe in God?

I don't know

if I believe in their God.

Yeah, I pray.

I pray every night.

I need a God that's got

a lot of forgiveness.

You're gonna be

all right though.

Don't worry about a thing.

What's the matter, Vince? You look

like you've seen a f***ing ghost.

- You know why we're here, John?

- Yeah, I know.

That's the kid

you wanted to see.

Consider him delivered.

Where's my money?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Give him

his f***ing money, Vince.

I don't know what this dude

told you, but it's bullshit.

Last chance.

With all due respect,

I know exactly who you are

and I would never

f***ing steal--

Jesus Christ!

Take it easy.

Everybody just take it easy.

God damn it.

That's for Petey.

You got something

of this man's, you give it to him now.

Or we could all die, John.

Sh*t.

Oh! Hey!

- Move!

Watch out.

F***!

Saunders, don't you

f***ing move my dad.

I've got your money

and I'll be there in an hour.

Going somewhere?

Who the f*** are you?

That's not the topic.

All right,

what is the topic?

Diamonds.

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Sit down.

Sit down!

You know, in some countries

they cut off the hand that steals.

And you stole from us.

So the way I see it,

you have three choices:

you can f*** around,

in which case I kill you;

you can go for that gun

on the desk

and I kill you;

or you can just

give me the diamonds

and I'll let you disappear.

Yeah right.

Look, my friend,

you're not half as tough

as your little girlfriend.

And at the end

she talked.

So what is it going to be?

She wasn't my girlfriend.

She was my family.

You got off easy,

motherf***er.

isn't much fun dying,

huh, Vince?

Start digging.

Are you f***ing

kidding me, man?

You want me to dig

my own goddamn grave?

Don't make me say it again.

I said start digging.

And make sure it's deep

so you're comfortable.

How much do you want?

Huh? How much is my life

worth to you?

A rat's skin is only worth

something to a rat, Vince.

Man, bullshit.

Come on.

Who are you to judge me?

You ever thought about where

the f*** you'd be without me?

Yeah, I thought about that

when I thought I was

taking my last breath.

Man, who was the one

out there making contacts,

setting up scores while you

and Dave was getting high?

Huh? Me.

Who was the one who

brought you in on sh*t,

put money in your pockets,

helped you support your moms?

- Me!

- That's what I don't understand, man.

That's what--

We were family, man.

We were brothers.

- You, me and Dave--

- F*** Dave, dude.

Come on.

That stuttering little b*tch.

This is about us, man.

How long before him and his big-ass

mouth would have got us all whacked?

He was loyal.

He was weak.

He was my friend.

Just like you, Vince.

Remember?

Oh f***.

Let me tell you something

as your friend, Sonny.

Everything you got in this world

is because of me.

Everything you f***ing are

in this world

is because of me.

What could you have gotten into

that was so bad that you

couldn't tell me?

Huh?

Tell me, I want to know.

I had your back

since we were kids, man.

And what do you do? You f***ing

shoot me and leave me for dead.

I had no choice, man.

I was in over my head.

I couldn't--

I needed all the money.

They were gonna--

they were gonna kill my father.

- What?

- They were gonna kill my dad.

Sonny, you're right, man.

And I'm sorry.

I should have come to you.

But you-- you've gotta tell me,

what can I do right now?

How can I make this right, man?

Tell me what to do.

You should have thought

about that before.

You make peace with God,

not me.

Do it.

F***ing do it, Sonny.

Shoot my ass.

'Cause you know what? You ain't nothing

in this world without me, man.

You shoot me

and we're the same.

We'll both be gone.

We're not the same.

You're f***ing pathetic, man.
