the n*ggers and the spics.

When I first met you,

you had intelligence and connections.

You had potential. So what do you do?

You get mixed up

with this second-rate stick-up man.

Tony, we just came to do a deal.

What are you selling?

Look, man...

Come on, Tony.

It's taking them a long time.

- How stupid do you think I am?

- I don't know what you're thinking.

- We just came here to do a deal.

- Deal?!

I've got thirty keys of primo stuff.

Over a million in street value.

You can have it for half.

- How do you know me?

- I met you through Eddie Grillo.

- Correct. And how did I know him?

- You guys did business.

- Correct. What kind of business?

- You bought from him.

Incorrect!

Eddie Grillo worked for me!

These drugs belong to me!

Do you think I'm going to pay you?

Do you think you could come in here,

you son of a b*tch, and rip me off?!

- No. I didn't know it was yours.

- Jesus Christ.

It doesn't matter what you knew!

What matters is how it looks!

And it looks like you stole from me!

Can you give me a break here?

- Please, Tony.

- Sorry, kid.

We would never have taken this sh*t

if we'd known it was yours.

We've got all of it right here.

We'd never have taken

these drugs from you.

We've got everything right here.

I can't die like this.

What the f*** are you doing?

This is 10, 15 grand. Where's the rest?

Where's the rest?

Was I disrespectful, Tony?

Where the f*** is the rest, Tony?

- Where's the rest?

- He's f***ing lying!

- Let's get the f*** out of here.

- Cue Tip was my best friend, f***er.

Come on, Curtis.

- How did it go?

- Get in the car.

What happened, Curtis?

You killed Tony Vago, Raymond?

Eddie worked for Vago.

He wanted to kill us in there.

- Would that make you happy?

- No.

I thought you knew what you were doing.

Massacre in Vegas. Five dead.

One of them was Tony Vago.

- He had half his face burned off.

- And the reason you're telling me this?

Witnesses' descriptions match our guys.

They're driving a Dodge.

Call Richard Pearson at the FBI.

Tell him we'll be there in the morning.

- May I have your attention?

- Who the hell are you?

Who I am is of no importance.

I have been sent here

by Mr Giannino and his associates -

- to deal with the situation

that occurred here last evening.

- We worked for Mr Vago.

- Mr Vago worked for Mr Giannino.

- So? What do we call you?

- Sir.

You may call me sir.

That high pressure continues

giving us dry days and chilly nights.

- Raymond? What are you doing here?

- Nice to see you too, Wayne.

Sh*t.

Curtis!

I'm sorry I had to come here.

I had no choice.

What happened? This isn't your style.

I don't know.

Curtis went crazy in Grillo's office.

Nobody was supposed to be there.

You should never have hooked up

with that a**hole.

I don't need a f***ing lecture, Wayne.

- I need your help.

- I'm not getting involved.

- Remember Cecil in New Mexico?

- I'm not getting involved in this sh*t.

If anyone saw you,

my parole is down the toilet.

Nobody saw anything.

I need you to make

one phone call for me.

Can you do that?

All right, Ray.

One phone call. That's it.

- Can I trust this guy?

- How should I know?

You thought you could trust Vago.

The price is the price.

I'll call you tomorrow and tell you

where we're going to meet.

Just make this deal and go.

You hit Tony Vago.

They'll never stop looking for you.

- What are you doing?

- Going to my girlfriend's.

If anyone saw you,

I'll tell the cops you broke in.

- I want you guys gone by tonight.

- Okay, Wayne.

Hey, Wayne? I need your car.

This is f***ing unbelievable, man!

You come and take over my house, -

- use my car...

You want to come and f*** my girlfriend?

Thanks a lot.

What do you think Vago's people will do?

They don't sh*t

without permission from Giannino.

Giannino's big on vendettas.

There's no way he'll sit still for this.

- If they find them first...

- We'll pick up body parts.

Can you get me surveillance

on Giannino's shooters?

Are you still mad at me?

Yeah.

Why?

Because you knew that Vago killed

Curtis' best friend, -

- and you still took that lunatic

in there with you.

I know it was stupid.

But it turned out lucky.

It's not enough we've got

every cop in the country looking for us.

Now we have the mob after us too.

We're just blessed with good fortune.

I'm sorry, Addy.

Right now, sorry isn't good enough.

With the lioness out of the way,

the hyenas bring the wildebeest down.

Do you like guns?

I've been to the firing range a lot,

but I've never seen one like that.

Sig 9 millimetre.

You get hit with that puppy,

you'd be lucky only to lose a limb.

At the rest stop, you were trying to

get us away, weren't you?

When this whole thing started,

I was so scared.

Now I just feel numb.

If you need to be scared, you should

be scared about your boyfriend.

Put it down, Gordon!

Jesus Christ. It's cool.

It's not even loaded.

You know how close you came

to getting killed?

You two morons get ready.

We're going to make a food run.

Pack up. I'm going for food.

Marcus. Help me load up the stuff.

What?

You have a problem because I'm

listening to Curtis' point of view?

His point of view?

What point of view? He is psychotic.

Would you please stop imitating him?

I'm not imitating him.

I don't condone what they're doing.

I'm just trying to understand

why it is they do it.

- What's happening to you?

- This is a game.

Everyone who plays the game

knows the rules.

The cops are the good guys.

The good guys' job is to catch them.

The bad guys' job is to not get caught.

- Just get away from me, please.

- We have to get something to eat.

Where are you going, Donna?

To take a bath.

- A shot of Scotch.

- Coming up, darling.

- How much further to where we're going?

- Why?

- Just curious.

- Stay curious.

- I don't know about Mexico.

- You'll have a good time.

- It's easy for you. You've got Addy.

- You'll meet somebody.

Addy knows people.

She's got a friend down there, some guy.

He knows some chick named Juanita.

Addy says she's going to introduce you.

- I don't get set up.

- What are you talking about?

- About getting set up. I'm not with it.

- Why not?

- What did Addy say about this girl?

- She said she was very sweet.

- Nice personality, right?

- She has a terrific personality.

- What does she look like?

- What difference does it make?

- Go right in there. Forget about it.

- No, I don't even walk that way.

Every time somebody tells me about

a girl's personality before her looks, -

- I know she'll be butt-ugly.

- How do you know that?

- I've been through it.

Three months ago, my cousin set me up.

This girl's supposed to have a big ass.

So I'm like cool.

An hour later, I'm at the Beef Basket.

I kick back, you know,

in a booth. Chilling.

And in walks the butt-ugliest woman

I've ever seen in my life.

She walks over to the table and smiles.

The b*tch has five teeth.

- That's cold.
