- All of it, man, everything!

- You didn't hit the safe?

- Even the back bathroom, man!

Sue, I told you we'd do it.

People say beware...

- Woo-hoo!

- People say I don't care...

After they hit Eddie, they come

back to Wonderland, I'm there,

and they're all hoopin' and hollerin'

about all the sh*t they got.

- Ward:
What sh*t?

- Everything. Guns, money, drugs.

And they're

not playing it cool, either.

Phone's ringing off the hook

and they keep answering it.

- (phone rings)

- Hello?

Yo, Joey, no listen to this,

you are never going to guess

- who we just f***ing nailed!

- Let me tell him, come on.

- Guess again, motherf***er.

- Let me tell him.

Guess again!

All right, Ronnie wants to tell you.

- Eddie Nash!

- (laughing)

You're not going to believe this sh*t.

They're telling people

that they hit Eddie Nash.

Can you believe that? Sitting there

passing the phone back and forth.

- Who are they talking to?

- Anyone that would listen.

Everybody that called.

All their scumbag customers.

I said, "Ronnie, we should keep

a low profile. " They didn't listen.

Aaah!

I'm gonna ah, ah,

make her mine

Hwaa

Here she comes...

Betamax.

The Betamax... out there.

Man, out there, throw it.

The f***ing Betamax

out the f***ing window.

Here she comes

Waltzin' through the hall

in a pretty red dress

And oh, she looks so good...

John:

How f***ing stupid is that?

So I f***ing split.

Where'd you go?

I don't give a damn

about my reputation

I never been afraid

of any deviation

And I don't really care if you think

I'm strange, I ain't gonna change

And I'm never gonna care

about my bad reputation...

Santa Monica for a couple days.

Just laying low.

Then I called Eddie.

You called Eddie Nash?

Yeah, I called him.

I was planning on leaving.

I mean, I wish I had left.

Ward:

What the f*** were you thinking?

John:

Listen, I knew if I didn't call him

that I'd never be able

to show my face here in LA again.

Ward:

So what did he say?

John:

Bill, everything was cool.

Hey, it's John.

I call him up, he doesn't mention

anything about the robberies.

- "Come on up."

- All right, I'll be there. Right on.

Well, I stepped inside

And I stood by the door

While dark-eyed girls

sang and played the guitar

Hookers, hustlers,

filled up the room

This was the place they called

Spanish Moon...

- Johnny boy.

- What's up?

- Hey.

- Brother.

- Good to see you. Where you been?

- Oh, you know, around.

Well, I'm glad you come by.

I need a favor.

- Sure, anything you want.

- I want you to beg.

- What?

- I said beg, motherf***er!

Eddie, no!

- You think I'm stupid?

- No, Eddie!

You think I don't figure it out?

You bring those people into my house.

You piece of sh*t.

I f***ing trusted you!

You dog! Crawl.

Crawl like dog!

He's not crawling fast enough.

Greg, make him fly.

You know what they did to me?

You know what those motherfuckers

did to the Nash?

You like this?

You f***ing sand n*gger.

You f***ing greaseball.

I'm gonna find out who you are,

you cocksucker motherfuckers.

I'm gonna tear

your f***ing eyes out!

Suck this,

you sand jockey f*ggot.

Suck this. Give me

the f***ing combination.

They handcuffed me.

They beat my women.

They dragged me upstairs.

They put gun in my mouth!

How do they know

about the safe?

How do they know about

the Nash's safe under the bed from?

- You know what they did to Greg?

- Amateur motherf***er.

You better kill me

or cancel Christmas.

Shut up, n*gger! I'll blow your

black ass straight back to Africa.

Nash, f*** these motherfuckers.

It's amateur night!

- No witnesses.

- David, no!

You see what they did to Greg?

Show him, Greg.

Show him.

They shot heroin in my bathroom.

They cut rails on my daughter's

vanity mirror.

On my daughter's mirror!

Yo, man, you want to ride this?

No man, that sh*t'll kill you.

Come on, man.

Let's f***ing finish this.

Wait a minute, they were

doing drugs during the robbery?

Yeah.

- And get this, on their way out...

- John Holmes says hello!

Whoo-hoo!

- What? What?

- Yeah, he ratted me out.

Nash had been looking for me

for two days

so it was just dumb luck

I called him.

What are we going

to do now, brother?

Mary Holmes,

Pataskala, Ohio.

Sharon Holmes,

You're gonna

tell me who robbed me.

Because if you don't...

if you don't,

I'm going to kill every person in

that book starting with your mother,

your sister, your girlfriend,

that niece of yours, Gabrielle,

every last one of them.

I'm going to torture them to death.

And while I'm doing it,

I'm going to tell them

it's because of you.

And when they're dead...

when they're dead,

I'm going

to cut off your 14-inch cock,

chop it up, and shove it

down your throat!

So now you tell me...

who the f*** hit me?!

Eddie Nash has got

a gun to your knee

and he says he's going to kill

your wife, what would you do?

I'd tell him.

John:

F***ing-A right I told him.

Ward:

And what did he say?

You're going to do to those guys

on Wonderland

what you did to me.

Ward:
What did that mean?

Means I had to get in the car

with his dudes

and go over and get inside

of the Wonderland house.

- (buzzes)

- Ron:
Yeah?

It's John, man.

Ron:
What?

- (buzzes)

- It's John.

(gate buzzes)

I'm counting on you

To carry me through

- Oh-oh give me the beat, boys...

- What's up?

And free my soul, I want to get lost

in your rock 'n' roll

And drift away

Give me the beat, boys,

and free my soul

I want to get lost in your

rock 'n' roll and drift away...

Knock yourself out, John.

- Good night, man.

- You cooked?

When my mind is free

You know a melody

can move me

And when I'm feeling blue

A guitar's coming through

to soothe me

Thanks for the joy

that you've given me

- I want you to know...

- See ya.

- I believe in your song...

- F***ing unbelievable.

- Rhythm and rhyme and harmony.

- F***ing unbelievable.

Ward:

So you left the door unlocked?

Well, no.

Ajar.

Did you see Greg

or Danny go in the house?

- Did you hear anything at all?

- (shouting)

No.

What about in the street outside?

Did you see 'em in the street?

What about the street?

Did you see 'em in the car

or approaching the house?

No, I didn't see Diles,

I didn't see Greg,

I didn't see Eddie

after I got out of the car.

- Did you go back?

- Go back to Eddie's?

No, no, no.

Did you go back to Wonderland?

No.

You sure?

No, why would I go back?

- John...

- Wait, here it comes, this is it.

...were you present

when the murders happened?

No.

Stay on him, stay on him,

stay on him.

Did you see 'em murdered?

No.

Bill, are you calling me

a murderer?

Come on.

So...

when you left them,

they were all alive?

Yeah, when I left, they were alive.

Eddie Nash had these people killed

- because of a robbery you set up.

- Oh, come on, Ward.

Yeah.

And you'll testify to that.

No. Haven't you been listening?

He is the Prince

of f***ing Darkness.

What are you talking about?
