back at Freita, he'd kill us, like Melanie and Jennifer. Trust me on that. Not if we were smarter. You think this is just a game? No, Rem. This isn't just a game.

I know we can be killed. But you heard Beck. They know I know.

They'll find me. So either I start

running right now... I feel good with you, Rem. Do you want to know

why I cut myself? It's because my life was sh*t,

and all I knew was pain. But when you look at me, when you touch me, I feel like my heart's

gonna stop beating. And I don't feel the pain. I feel good. And I've never known

anything like that, anyone like that. Ever. We can do this, Rem. It's a million dollars. Do it for that. And for May Lin. We're closed. Open it. -F*** you.

-Open it! -What, you gonna shoot me?

-Move! What the f***?

You gonna off me? Yo! I'm looking for Benny Lee! He's gonna f***ing kill you! Shut up! Long time no see, Rembrandt. What brings you

back to Chinatown? I was missing you

and your brother. And where is Tommy?

Chasing a poodle for lunch? What you want? I want to talk to Benny Lee. Why would he want to see you? Daniel Freita. You put your gun away. I'd rather not. What are you afraid of?

You think we're

gonna kill you? The thought had

crossed my mind, Eddie. (SPEAKS CHINESE DIALECT) You some dumb-ass? Sticking nose

where it don't belong. A man could get

hurt doing that. Sometimes his friends, too. I ain't come to play

with you, Tommy. BENNY: Why did you come here? To tell you a story. I'm not into stories. You'll like this one. What's it about? Daniel Freita, little boys,

and the money

you took to buy land. (SPEAKING CHINESE DIALECT) Go on. Big money, big deal. But you need Freita's

gaming license to swing it. So Tommy here

comes up with the idea of how to get him in bed

with you a**holes. And that's when the

Reverend Henry Moi

steps into the picture. Story get any better? Yeah, it does. It seems that Daniel

Freita's got an itching

for young boys, and you have

an endless supply of them. So Freita's indebted forever,

and it's sealed with a kiss. Until Jennifer Haller and

Melanie Hains show up. Reverend plays

spank me with the girls, and in a moment of passion

he tells them everything. So they put

the squeeze play on, and that's where

the Trangs step up. Bottom of the ninth,

four dead. The two girls,

the Reverend Moi, of course, and my friend, Tiger Wu. That's a fanciful story. I thought you'd like it. I just said it was fanciful. What do you want? Money. What do I get in return? I never tell my story. I get out of town.

You never hear from me again. -You're a dead man.

-(SPEAKS CHINESE DIALECT) How much? The one million

the girls wanted. And another million

for what they did

to May Lin Choi. -You're f***ing nuts!

-(SPEAKS CHINESE DIALECT) Two million's too much. It's not negotiable. If the deal with

Freita goes bad,

the triads lose their money. And if that happens, we both know

what'll happen to you. How do I know

this will go away? My word. Why shouldn't I hang you

with the rest of this meat? It's like you see

in the movies. It's all been prearranged, should I disappear

or end up dead. You bluffing me? That's for me to know

and you to find out. You've got balls, cop. So we got a deal? (SPEAKING CHINESE DIALECT) You f*** me, you better run

and keep on running. Tonight then. This'll tell you

where and when. You bring the cash. Alone. I need more time

to get the money. Oh, you'll manage

it somehow, Benny. Of that I'm sure. (SPEAKS CHINESE DIALECT) (PHONE RINGING) Rem? Hey. They bought it. -Oh, my God.

-Yeah. And I upped it to two million.

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God. You got to get out of there.

And don't go back

to your apartment. What are you gonna do? -I got things to do.

We'll meet later.

-Where? The old train station

on 50th and 8th. It's been shut down

for a while. It's empty at night.

We'll meet there at 11:00. Are you okay with this? I want you. You got me. (BENNY SPEAKING

CHINESE DIALECT) REMBRANDT: So they put

the squeeze play on. BENNY:

That's a fanciful story. What do you want, cop? He didn't know. (HORN BLARES) Monty in? Gone for the day.

He's headed home. Some guy's been trying

to reach you. Toby Carr. Thank you. Where's Toots, Bouton? A woman got

stabbed in the subway.

I'm meeting him, now. -What about Beck?

-I haven't seen her all day. (SIREN WAILING) -Check you later.

-Yeah. (DIALING) (PHONE RINGING) Yeah? Uh, Mr. Toby Carr? Who wants to know? Detective Macy. You called me. Oh, yeah. I've been checking out

that thing for you and Tiger. What have you got for me? There were some Calderons

in Medford Lakes a while ago. But they died in a car wreck. What about their daughter? There was none. But there was

a grandmother in Parks

until she died last year. She was a foster parent. One of her charges

was a girl named Nicole. She lived with her

until she was 13,

then she ran off. Her real name's Donato. That's all I could get you. Thank you. Nicole Donato. Run it. -I'm busy...

-Do it now, Anna! I'll be at my desk. (PHONE RINGS) LYNN: Hello? Hi, Lynn, it's Rem Macy.

Is Monty home? No, he went downtown. If he checks in,

I'll have him call. Great. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye. Donato, Nicole Lee. Two priors,

underage prostitution. They didn't flag it.

Four months in juvie. I didn't have time

to check the arrest report. I've got a date

at the movies and I'm late. You're not in trouble,

are you? Hmm? Are you in trouble? TOBY: Her real name's Donato. NIKKI: You would think

I was in on it. The work records

for Ms. Hains... REMBRANDT:

We've got Freita, Benny

and the Trang brothers. MONTY: It's a long way

back to Melanie Hains. NIKKI: To take away that pain. It hurts to lose. So is killing May Lin. MONTY: Bring it to me first. NIKKI: What if we did that? We can do this, Rem. Tell me I'm wrong about

the way you look at me. When you look at me, (SIREN WAILING) when you touch me, I feel like my heart's

gonna stop beating. I don't feel the pain. (CLOCK TICKING) I feel good. You got me. (PRINTER WHIRRING) Hey. If you don't hear from me

by midnight, open it. Wait. What's this about? Midnight. Just do it. Rem. Rem? Rem. Here. I missed you. Where'd you get this? I've had it. I've never seen you

wear it before. I found it when I was

packing up my stuff. Emerald? Yeah. Hey, Rembrandt. Eddie. That doesn't look like

two million dollars to me. Benny couldn't raise it. Here's one.

He'll get you the other. -We'll take the million.

-Leave it. What do you mean? Leave it. -The deal's off.

-Don't f*** with us! Put the gun away!

You're not gonna need it. Why are you doing this, Rem? -We've been set up.

-What? Her real name is Donato. There's a sheet on her.

Two priors. The arresting officer

was Jack Monteleone, also known as Monty

to his friends. Maybe you've heard of him. Who cares? He knew how I felt

about you and your brother. And what you did to the one
