Wedlock Page #2

- I got work to do.

- You got rid of all the diamonds first.

Clever, but how did you know

they were going to cross you?

Do you want something

or do you just love talking?

- She promise you a June wedding?

- You must be psychic.

I can't blame you, I saw her picture.

Man, those lips!

- They could suck a man dry.

- Oh, f***.

Bet she's banging your buddy trying to

figure out where you hid the diamonds.

I could kill you for a thrill.

- You're not that stupid.

- Don't overestimate me.

You're an electronics genius,

not a murderer.

Where are the diamonds?

If I didn't tell all the DAs

in the state of California,

why would I tell you?

Because I'm your pal. You'd be my pal.

And I'd see to it

your time here goes smooth -

easy details, good food, no hassles -

but you f*** with me and I see to it

you got 12 years of pain and humiliation.

That doesn't sound so bad.

Mr Magenta...

everyone has their breaking point.

We'll find yours.

Give me a chance!

- What do you want?

- A chance!

So what about this Emerald guy?

You ever hear of a New York drug gang

called the Executioners?

- Yeah.

- He was kicked out for being too rough.

- He's chief trustee.

- What's a trustee?

Prisoners that help the guards.

They get some favours in return.

Do you mean they trust him?

Look, relax or you never gonna make it.

You don't know how good we got it.

We're privileged to be here.

Yeah, "privileged",

that's the word I'd use.

The food's good and the work's all right.

And then there's magic hour.

Oh? What's magic hour?

Every night from seven to ten,

you and a partner of your choice

get to jump bones at the Ranch.

Holliday thinks this releases prisoner

tension. I've never been so relaxed.

Hey.

- Juicy.

- Do yourself a favour, give up.

...and I said, "F*** what?"

Hi.

Hi. I'm Teal. Lloyd Strathern.

Ivory. Tracy Riggs.

What's his problem?

Don't!

I heard you saw

my little tracheotomy today.

I got eyes everywhere

and you go no eyes, no memory.

You saw nothing.

- Nothing, got it?

- Yeah.

And stay away from Ivory, she's mine.

Yeah. That's fine.

She's not my type anyway.

Inspection! Everybody out of bed.

- Move. Move!

- Inspection.

- Come on, come on.

- All right, all right, I'm coming.

Out of bed and on your feet.

Up. Now!

Sorry to wake you, gentlemen,

but I'm looking for a very brave man.

Someone here has decided

to take the ultimate risk.

One of you has had the guts

to challenge my rules.

- I thought you were smarter than this.

- They're not mine. I don't smoke.

Then maybe you could tell me

whose they are?

Well, possession is

nine tenths of the law

and the law round here says

you go to the floaters. Emerald.

Well, thanks for the cigarettes.

Next time, don't forget the matches.

Promise me you won't die

in there, a**hole.

I'd hate to miss my shot.

I'll do my best.

He's had it.

- I was hoping it wouldn't come to this.

- No, you weren't.

Magenta, you're gonna love this.

No lights, no noises...

no nothing.

Couple of hours,

you'll be banging on these walls,

kicking and screaming to get out.

By tomorrow, you'll feel like

you've been in there a week.

The day after,

it's gonna seem like a month.

There is one way out of all this,

you know.

Where are the diamonds?

The diamonds?

Gee, I know I put them somewhere...

I'm sorry.

You nonconformists are all alike.

Emerald.

Move it.

How long is this ride?

Oh, an hour, a week... a month.

Figure it out.

Hi, Frank. You remember

where those diamonds are yet?

You must like it in there.

Hey, how you doing, man?

- Hey, Teal.

- How you doing, man? You all right?

Get me out of here.

- Get me out of here!

- Shh.

Here.

I just wanted to say hello!

Ah! Goddamn son of a b*tch!

- You ready to talk to Holliday?

- No! I can't.

Stop it! Goddamn...

You still with us there, Frank?

How... long?

Are you having a nice day?

Listen, pal, you're not looking too good.

Listen to me.

I could get you out of there

in five seconds.

All you gotta do is tell me

where the diamonds are.

- North...

- North?

North Pole. Ask for Santa.

Sh*t. Sh*t!

You were right.

He's one tough little bastard.

- 'Is he dead? '

- No, no. He's in the infirmary for a week.

'I told you he was smart.

Will you listen to me now? '

OK, we'll do things your way.

Everyone thought you were dead.

Do me a favour, pretend I am.

Jeez, Magenta,

you'd make coffee nervous.

Pal, I'm really sorry.

Uh-uh. You are dead, f***.

Break it up. Damn it, break it up.

You're making friends fast.

Now, clean this up.

Be seeing you.

Come on, baby. I got something for you.

You sure looking good, baby.

Come on, don't walk away.

- Oh, yeah!

- Hey!

Please, baby, might as well give it on up.

- Uh-uh.

- Oh, come on.

I'll be back. Give you another chance.

Hi.

Come on.

- What can be so important...

- Shh.

I know who my wedlock partner is.

Gee, congratulations. Er, goodbye.

And... I know who

your wedlock partner is.

Is that it?

You're not very smart, are you?

You're my wedlock partner.

Bullshit. How would you know?

One of the guards. I have my ways.

I'm sorry, I don't feel like risking my life

on information some guard told you

in the middle of a poke.

Listen. I've gotta get out of here

and I can't do it without you.

- You got a date?

- A wedding to go to.

Oh, great. Tracy.

Let's get out of here,

get these collars off. We can be together.

Can I be frank with you?

You couldn't turn me on if I had a switch.

'You got a real problem with women, pal.'

'Right - all the ones I know

are still breathing.'

- Watch yourself.

- Watch your back.

- Over here.

- Give me that PO number.

It's on the way.

Don't worry about it.

Thought you might want to apologise

about last night.

Yeah, I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough.

Stay the f*** away from me.

Now what?

I told you she's mine.

She's all yours. I didn't touch her.

That's where you're all wrong, pal.

Puce saw you boning at the Ranch.

You don't understand,

all we did was talk.

Tell him.

Tell him.

Now I'm gonna have to kill you.

Kill her. She was the one

who invited me over.

You guys wanna mangle each other,

do it the right way - settle it in the yard.

Tomorrow... morning...

f***.

- Fine.

- I'll see you.

- You were better off in the floaters.

- I was better off engaged.

and nobody will make a bet on you.

Teal, you've been a real pal.

In case I don't make it through tomorrow,

my friend's holding something for me.

Give him a call and he'll take care of you.

The diamonds?

Come on, it's no secret,

it's been all over TV.

- Non of your accomplices got any of it?

- No.

I panicked after the job.

Dropped the diamonds off,

figured I could pick 'em up later.

Then I got shot.

That's too bad.

Where can I find this friend of yours?

- What's that?

- It's a little equaliser for tomorrow.

All these have

a transmitter and a receiver.

If I can attach this to Emerald's collar,

it will amplify the signal
