...saw your old lady,

my brother laying on top of her.

That couldn't have been easy for you.

Now, where the f***'s Deke?

In hell, I hope.

Why'd you kill her?

It doesn't matter.

Let me use your phone.

Where the f*** is Deke?

Let him go.

Goddamn, where the f***'s Deke?

- Let him go.

- What are you doing?

Let him go!

F***!

You're just full of surprises.

- Is he dead?

- Yeah.

I hope so.

Hey, it was self-defense. Myself.

Still worth it though, right?

We gotta go.

- What about the bodies?

- Don't worry about that.

I'm ready to say goodbye

to this dump forever.

Goddamn it.

What's this?

The f*** is this?

It's blank paper.

I thought you checked this!

I did check it. I did.

I checked underneath the...

Hey, hey, hey! You wanted this

to be over, well now it's over.

Goddamn it.

I'm sorry.

How did a dumbshit like Hagen

get one on me?

Maybe they're smarter

than we thought.

What did you say?

What do we do? We got no money.

There's bodies in the garage.

What did you say?

You said, "They're smarter."

- Where are you going?

- To find Isobel.

- Why?

- I find her, I find Ralph.

I find Ralph, I find the money.

Besides, they don't know

that I know that she's in on it.

Can you say that again?

- The last part.

- Look.

Go to Ralph's place.

Call me if you see anything. Anything.

Can you do that for me? For us?

Yeah.

Sit down!

Let's take this slowly, shall we?

You and Ralph Hagen

kidnapped his wife.

You got the money from her mother.

I f***ed your plan. You f***ed me.

- It isn't done.

- What? Ralph gave the money...

...to the guy that called him.

- He lied.

The bag was significantly short

of the 1 million.

How do I know you're not lying?

Listen, princess, I wouldn't be here

if I was lying, would I?

- How did you know our plan?

- Right place, right time.

Plus the fact you two talk too loud.

- But I'd say fate, mostly.

- I don't have the money.

You're waiting for him, aren't you?

Fine. We'll just wait here together.

Either you have the money

or Ralph has the money.

Either way, I'm gonna get it.

Don't ask me how, I just know.

I don't know. I figured it out.

Look, I need to see you first.

Look, there's more to all this.

We have to meet tonight.

There's no other way.

Any sign of the cops?

No. No one.

Good. Keep watching. Call me if you

see anything strange. Police, anything.

What's happening?

Did you find Isobel?

We're gonna fix this.

Go to Ralphie's boat, The Possession.

- Why? What for?

- Call me later.

- Izzy.

- Hey.

Welcome aboard.

- Who the f*** are you?

- I'm the guy. She'll fill you in later.

Something to take note of, both of you:

You make really bad kidnappers.

Now, where's the money?

- What are you talking about?

- Sit the f*** down!

I'm the one asking the questions

around here. Where's the money?

- I gave it to you.

- No!

You gave me blank paper

and a lot of grief.

Where's the goddamn f***ing money?

- Tell him where the money is!

- I don't have it! He does!

F***!

- I knew you were in on this!

- He forced me here.

Hey, hey, hey!

Let's cut a deal.

Where's the f***ing money?

- Where's my wife?

- Dead.

What? You killed her?

F*** this.

No more twists. No more...

Yeah? Hi, baby.

- Where's the f***ing money?

- I don't have it!

Not a lot going on up there, huh?

You never complained

when I was f***ing you!

Hey, you two shut the f*** up!

You're giving me a goddamn head...

Jesus Christ!

Freeze! Everybody freeze!

Drop your weapon!

Get on the ground!

- Everybody on the ground!

- Off the couch and get on the ground!

Hey, Lew. Isn't that your baby looking

all chummy with her cop friends?

I guess we're all f***ed now.

They say you have to choose:

Love or money.

I always thought

you could have both.

- I didn't hire an attorney.

- I've been hired for you.

Privately. You know those people?

I have a statement from Rita Caswell

detailing the events...

...leading to your arrest

on The Possession.

Seeing as Miss Caswell's version

is somewhat particular and exact...

...my assumption is that yours

will corroborate hers.

Exactly.

Nasty group of people

you stumbled upon.

Herbert Clarkson, a.k.a. Clairmont...

...had a history of blackmailing

otherwise decent citizens.

Not to mention being wanted

for murder. Specifically, his brother's.

I'm not supposed

to be reading this, am I?

- How are your memorization skills?

- I've got the alphabet down pat.

What's Ralph and Isobel's version?

Ralph Hagen and Isobel DeLarno

are kidnappers.

Juries tend not to believe adulterers

who plot to kidnap and kill their wives.

Whereas Miss Caswell

has no reason to lie.

So they never found the money.

Not a cent. So...

...let's get started, shall we?

Rita got us a clean slate.

And a million straws.
