Three Way Page #4

Early, around 6.

Where's my f***ing light?

- What if he doesn't call back?

- He has to.

If he doesn't, Ralph and Isobel

go to jail, we let Florence go...

...we walk away.

We're covered no matter what.

Hey, hey.

It's the last straw.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Go! Go.

Beats the hell out of a coffin.

Hang in there.

It won't be for long.

- Hello?

- Ralph Hagen?

- Who's this?

- I have your wife.

- Who is this?

- You kidnapped your wife...

...and put her on your boat,

The Possession.

She's no longer on that boat.

So to you, I'm as close to God

a man can get.

Do I have your attention?

Has your mother-in-law been asked

for the $ 1 million yet?

- How did you know...?

- I thought we just covered this, Ralph.

She's getting the money.

I'll have it tonight.

Too late. Get it by noon.

- I can't. L...

- Noon, Ralph.

- What do you want?

- Well, it ain't your wife.

I want the money. You play fair,

there's an incentive for you.

This is bullshit.

No, Ralph. This is your fate.

Yours and mine.

This is how we play the game.

Put the cash in a black duffle bag.

Take it to Marina Bay Harbor.

Dock box A- 1.

Then leave.

He's gonna be at the pay phone

at Willoughby and Bascomb by 3.

Everything's cool, I get the money,

tell him where Florence is.

Along with the $500,000.

His split. The rest is up to him.

- Why are you giving the money back?

- I'm not.

- Don't worry about it, baby.

- Is all this safe?

Nothing's safe anymore, Rita.

But it's all good.

All right. I have to go.

Well, Ms. Caswell,

you're a surprise.

You know what Lew did

with my brother's body?

Yeah. There's a price, though.

I'm not looking for money.

Really.

- Jesus.

- Don't! Please...

...give me a minute! Please!

Why am I calling? Because we're

seriously f***ed, is why!

Just calm down

and tell me what happened.

Is, if you're double-crossing me,

I swear I'll f***ing burn you.

- It's not me.

- Then who?

We're the only two

who knew about this.

Let's just take a second

and think this through, okay?

Sh*t. Maybe...

Maybe Ida caught on.

Ida? The woman's a loon!

She hums "Memories" to herself...

...while that parrot sings backup.

You believe she's blackmailing us?

Don't underestimate her, Ralph.

And it's a macaw, not a parrot.

Great. Maybe the f***ing bird's

behind it, then.

- So, what did he sound like?

- Like a f***ing parrot!

- The guy on the phone, genius.

- Oh, the guy on the phone?

He sounded like

a f***ing nail in our coffin.

Please, don't. I've seen your face.

What's the point?

Please, please.

Just for a second. Please.

Just for a second.

I feel like I'm dying in that thing.

If you could take it off for a second.

I'm so uncomfortable.

I can't even feel my feet.

If you could take it off for a second.

I'm not gonna go anywhere.

I can't even walk.

Please.

Okay, a second.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- So, what should we do?

- We do what he wants...

...till I figure something else out.

- Which will be when?

- "Which will be when?"

When a macaw flies out

of my f***ing ass!

If you have any ideas, right now

would be a great time to offer them up!

You have really nice hands.

That feels really good.

I mean, it hurts, but...

I like the way you're rubbing me.

That feels amazing. I kind of have

that pins-and-needles thing.

You know, when that happens?

You remind me of those little boys...

...whose hands get stuck

in a cookie jar.

I'm not a boy.

But you like your cookies, don't you?

You're sweet.

You've got that weird combination...

...of being sweet and dangerous

all at the same time.

I really like dangerous men.

Ralph used to be dangerous...

...if you could believe that.

Now he's just...

What?

Just a guy who works

at the shoe store.

Your hands are so big.

Big hands...

...big shoes.

I say we make a bad situation

just a little bit better.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Oh, Janice.

Hold me, baby. Hold me.

Janice...

- No. No.

- What?

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

No, it's okay, baby. Just hold me

the way you held her, please.

Just for a second.

Just for a second.

Please. It would be really nice.

Just for a second.

Yeah. Come on.

A**hole.

Lew?

What happened?

Rita! No!

No! Get the f***ing tape, now!

The tape. Shut up!

- What the hell's going on?

- Your worst nightmare, honey.

- Shut up.

- Your man's a good f***.

- You've gotta suck his dick...

- I said, shut up!

She's lying, baby.

- Baby, she's lying.

- You must think I'm stupid.

- Rita, please.

- F*** you!

- Hey, baby.

- Get off of me!

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

Forgive me. Please.

How the f*** can I forgive you

if I can't even look at you?

You...

...get the meeting with Clarkson?

Wouldn't you like to know.

Yeah, that's kind of why I asked.

Well, I met him

and I did what I do best:

I showed him properties.

Where is he now?

I left him in Santa Barbara

talking to landowners.

What are you gonna do now?

What are you gonna do?

She saw you and me.

- What are you gonna do?

- Come here.

No!

Look, I can fix this. I can.

- We can still end the day millionaires.

- What are you gonna do, kill her?

- I thought you weren't a murderer.

- I'm not, but...

Look, we stop now, we're f***ed.

Look, what happened

with her was we...

We kissed. That was it.

I don't know. It was just f***ing stupid.

It was just, like, an end to something.

So I could start with you again.

I swear.

We'll get her back, Ida.

I know, but things

have changed now...

...so that's how it has to be or no deal.

Okay? I'll call you later. Bye.

- Any word from Clarkson?

- No.

Okay, good. I go.

- Lewis?

- Yeah?

I think I should go

get the money instead.

- What?

- It might be safer.

Look, check this out.

He knows a man's involved

because you called him.

No one's gonna suspect a woman.

Not even the police.

- The police?

- Yeah, the police.

You don't know

if he called them or not.

If I see them,

I'll just leave the money...

...and no one will know anything.

No, no. It's too dangerous.

I'm not having you out there.

Baby, it's more dangerous if you go.

You stay here. Make sure

she doesn't go anywhere, okay?

That way you can start thinking

about what you wanna do with her.

Babe, listen.

I'm in this. I got it.

I can do it.

- I can do it.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Call me the second you get it.

- Okay.

- And, Rita, be careful.

I will.

Last straw?

Last straw.

I still hate you.

What are you looking for?

Now, let go of that.

You just keep losing that gun,

don't you, Lew?

Come on, Lewis.

I guess somebody wants to talk to you.

- Yeah?

- I got it.

Good. Are you okay?

Yeah. Everything's fine.

Everything's fine.

Finish covering that up.

Jesus, what a rat's nest.

Look at this f***ing suit.

Three days chasing around

after your ass.

You think Ralph's gonna miss her?

Told you there's a lot

of ways to f*** you, Lew.

What is it with you

and shooting people in the throat?

- What is that?

- See...

...when you were on that boat...
