How is everything?

Good.

Good.

Go check that out.

Ricky?

Wanna play games tonight?

I'm ready for you.

He was a cop and good at his job, but he committed the ultimate sin and

testified against other cops gone bad.

Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead.

Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands.

An outlaw hunting outlaws. A bounty hunter.

A renegade.

Here you are.

Now, that guy right there, he's got the right idea. What's that?

Fishing. Fishing? Yes, sir. I'm going to take you fishing. I'm going to take you

to the greatest sports fishing in the whole wide world, Cabo San Lucas.

We're going to have chartered boats.

We're going to have tequila, a tent of companions.

What do you think about that? I'm also going to get some, you know, what do you

think, a little marlin, a little tuna?

Why don't you go ahead and dial it?

Dial what? The number that is in your pocket. The number that Hound's

gave to you when you left New York. How'd you know?

It's the only thing you've been thinking about since we got back.

I had the Hound, Bobby. I had him right in my hands, and I had to let him go.

Well, go ahead and call it. Well, to tell you the truth, I'm afraid.

Why? Because it's the only chance I've got.

What if it's his bookie or his long -lost aunt, which it probably is? I've

him. Reno, it's not his aunt.

And didn't Hound's secretary tell you that he guarded that number with his

Yeah. Okay, so it's my dime, right?

What's the area code?

6602. Arizona. Yeah.

Downtown Phoenix, I checked.

Is this Rossi's garage?

Oh, I see.

Well, what's Miron Klein?

Well, thanks.

I'm sorry.

Well? It's a law firm. You're inclined.

Law office? Now, why would the hound have... You're reading my thought.

He's out of state lawyer.

The custodian of Brother Hogg's tape.

That's right.

Hello?

May I help you?

I'm here to see Mr. Klein or Mr. Muir. Do you have an appointment?

Well, no, I don't, but I'll be glad to wait.

Not possible.

Listen, why don't you just tell them here, okay, honey? I'm afraid they

care. Klein's dead, and I'm Muir.

You're Muir?

Yes, the insanely busy Joanna Muir.

Mr. Muir, I found the deposition. Oh, great. Who are you?

That's an excellent question, Judy.

Listen, my name is Jimmy Redbeard, and I really would like to talk to you,

please. Not possible.

Listen, if you don't mind, just give me the opportunity to go ahead.

Hey, wait a minute. It's all right, Ivan.

You'll have to excuse Ivan. He gets rather overprotective.

Mr. Red Bear, I'm afraid I'm terribly busy.

I'll talk fast.

I'm sure you always do.

Please, you won't regret it.

Five minutes.

I appreciate you taking the time.

Thank you very much. How can I help you? Well, you see, I have a tribal dispute,

actually a land dispute.

I don't handle tribal affairs.

Well, wait a minute. You see, I believe that I'm entitled to 5 ,000 acres right

outside of Flagstaff. What leads you to that conclusion?

Certain deeds and documents that have come into my possession, handed down to

by my ancestors.

Well, then you will soon be a very rich man.

With you on my side, I believe I will be.

Am I that important to your case?

Smart money says that you're the best in the West.

Five minutes ago, you thought I was the receptionist.

I'm afraid I can't help you, Mr. Red Bear. I don't deal with real estate, and

dance card is jam -packed.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Oh, and Mr. Red Bear, would you please give your address to Judy on the way

What for?

Billing purposes.

Look thinner to you.

No. Why?

Because I just got flattened by a steamroller.

Named? Joanna Muir. Hound's attorney is a she.

She's a she -wolf is what she is.

I know. I've been digging. What do you got?

Not only is she the top hired gun of the state, but she's none too particular of

the moral fiber for clientele. Who include?

Warren Johnson.

The sadistic drug lord.

Mm -hmm. She's been keeping him one step ahead of the law. Who else?

Larry Jim Smith.

She got him off of two murder beefs, and she represents Ricardo Pena. The Latino

godfather. That's right.

Three murder indictments, man.

Two state, one federal. She beat all three of them cold.

Yeah, well, cold is the right word for Miss Muir. After spending three minutes

with her, icicles started to form on my nose.

Maybe we're going about this the wrong way.

Go and sit down. Now watch me do my damn.

I'm so tired of you, man.

Get it, Frank.

Nice play.

Yeah, beautiful.

It's a good place to get buried.

Mr. Pena, I don't... Where is she?

Where's who?

Freddy. You ever see me get angry?

No, Mr. Pena.

You ever heard about what happens when I get angry?

Yes, Mr. Pena. Is that something you want to see?

No, I don't want to see that, Mr. Pena.

Then tell me where my Ashley is.

Or better yet, take me to her.

Now hear me out, Mr. Pena.

Hear all that I have to say.

You're going to want to kill me at first.

Why's that?

Because what I'm going to tell you is I don't know anything about Miss Bond.

Ramon.

Mr. Peña, believe me, I'm not stupid.

If I knew anything about Senorita Bond, I'd tell you right now.

You know what, Freddy?

What? I believe you.

Thank you.

You're a good man.

You're a fair man.

What a lousy judge of character, huh?

There is never a waiter around here when you need one. Ivan, go see if you can

unearth me a martini.

Miss Muir, we meet again?

Yes. But the answer is still the same.

Is that all you do is work, work, work?

What do you have in mind?

You and me.

Candlelight moonbeams.

Up close and personal.

There's spike in your peri, Jimmy.

Why don't you go ahead and cut the lawyer's dick, all right?

Talk to me, woman to man.

Take your hand off me, or they're going to be throwing your fingers back one by

one. Oh, so you like it rough, do you, huh? Hey!

All right, all right, all right.

Oh, boy.

The thrill of the hunt, isn't that correct?

Now, listen, you want a real man, you got to go for his name with people, man.

You know what I'm talking about? That's what I'm talking about, because we ought

to get it live.

Hey, gee, don't you know when to quick?

Quit is not in my vocabulary, Falcon. Why don't you just go over there and get

me a towel, all right?

No. Give me a towel.

I'll get hotel security to take care of him, ma 'am.

Don't you think you're being a little rude?

Excuse me?

You haven't even given me a chance to say thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Forgiven. Thank you.

I'm Joanna Muir. Vince Black.

Vince Black.

I want you to come work for me.

Oh, I already have a job. They pay you two grand a week because I will.

Do what?

More of the same.

Does this kind of thing happen to you often?

Enough that I need someone like you.

Come by to my office tomorrow.

Ten o 'clock.

Oh, and your first job?

When Ivan the Miserable here drives off, tell him he's fired.

Yes, ma 'am.

Ricardo.

Johanna. What is so urgent?

They kidnapped Ashley.

When was this?

Last night, sometime between 10 and 11.

Who did?

Did Philbin and his people?

I thought so, but no.

Wait a minute. If it wasn't the competition, then who could it be?

One of the new guys? Felix?

Joaquin? Look, I'll check them out. You check out everybody else, okay?

Ricardo, what do you have in mind? Look, everybody, I don't know, turn the

streets inside out or talk to this almost crooked cop that you own. All

all right, you got it, Ricky. You got it. Do you need any more manpower?

No, no.

I think I've got all the men I need.

I want Ashley back.

Do you understand that?

I've got a job for you.

I'm ready.

One of my most important clients has lost something, and I need you to find

What did he lose?

His mistress.

Well, maybe he just got tired of her.

No, he's obsessed with her.

Vince, there's something you need to understand going in.

My client doesn't just expect success, he demands it.

Capisce? No problem.

There will be a problem if you don't find her.

You sure you want to get on board?

Just tell me where to start.

Come on out, it's your first day at work.

Easy. All I gotta do is find some client's baby doll.

Whose client?

Ricardo Pena.

Wait a minute, Reno. Ricardo Pena's the most cold -blooded hothead. Don't worry

about it, okay?

Promise I won't go near him.

It's not worth the risk.

Yes, it is.

It's worth any risk.

Did you happen to scope out her office?

Not really.

I saw about as much of it as you did.

Well, then we gotta get her out of there.

I know. I will tonight.

But first, we've got to track down a lead on this Ricky boy.

Oh, great legwork. My favorite.

Don't worry. I'm letting you off the hook.

What do you mean?

Well, we can't have Joanna hearing about some Native American bearing a striking

resemblance to Jimmy Red Bear beating the bushes on her behalf.

Huh?

I'll call you.

Then I leaned on some street dealers to shake out the latest gossip.

Well, they're usually informative.

Well, not this time.

Really? Really. And that's all I've got.

Well, I can't say you didn't work hard enough.

I'm sorry I didn't get better results.

What are you going to tell Pena? Screw him.

I mean, I'm trying to do him a favor here. What do I look like, the Bureau of

Missing Persons?

I'll pick it up again tomorrow.

Great.

Where are you off to?

I just thought I'd get a bite to eat and then crash.

Sounds great.

Fettuccine on me?

So anyway, I put his mother on the stand, even the DA cried.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable?

Are you doubting how well I do my job? Not really.

They seem to know you here. Yeah, well, I come here often. Maybe I should drive.

Not a prayer.

I like to be in the driver's seat.

Miss Muir!

Miss Muir, I gotta talk to you!

I liked you better when you were wet, Ivan.

Yeah, well, you need to give me a second chance.

No, I don't. Yeah, but you owe me.

I wouldn't have believed it. What's that?

You're even dumber than you look.

Yeah? Well, I'll smart this.

Watch out for this guy, Miss Muir.

You can't trust him.

Your devotion is very touching, Ivan.

You coming, Vince?

Go on, get out of here.

That's my hotel right up there. You can just let me off the front.

Sure.

Where'd you learn to handle yourself like that?

Oh, necessity.

You were in the service?

No. Cops?

No. Did you do time?

No. So where did you learn martial arts moves like that?

My dad. Hey, that was my hotel.

Still early.

Quarter to one?

It's still early.

Besides, I need you to do me a small favor.

Or was it like a boutique?

Anywhere is fine.

Very nice.

Thank you.

I find it very comfortable.

Drink? Oh, uh, no thanks. I really better be going.

What about that favor?

Uh, favor? I thought... You thought wrong.

I'm not very good at mixing business pleasure.

That's all right.

I am.

I do it all the time.

I don't think that, uh... Ben, are you turning me down?

No. No, uh... I'd just like to get to know you a little better.

Ben.

Carry me.

Like to be carried, okay

I've never met anybody like you. There is no one like me.

How did you get to be the way you are?

What you really mean is, how did I become such a barracuda?

How did you?

Well, my parents died in a car crash six minutes after I was born, and I was

raised by an evil uncle who took liberties with me.

Isn't that the kind of sob story you were looking for?

I don't know what to expect from you.

Well, a real story is a snooze.

My parents were married for 39 years.

My father's a corporate executive who made his first fortune by the age of 50

and retired here.

He then went on and made a second fortune in real estate.

I had an absolutely delightful childhood.

Well, then, why did you choose the way you went?

Market economics.

What kind of needs it wouldn't be?

Which was?

Oh, I realized that some of the wealthiest people in this state weren't

the best in legal representation.

Oh, you mean criminals. Mostly.

And the good lawyers wouldn't take their cases.

Enter little Joanna, fresh from Harvard Law School.

Working late?

Get the hell out of here.

Get lost, boy toy.

Sorry, Vince. Go ahead.

Did you find Ashley? I will. Would you just relax?

I am relaxed.

I know who's got her.

Well, are you going to act it out or are you going to tell me?

The feds. The feds took Ashley from one of your places in the middle of the

night? It's true. Believe me. Why would they do that?

That I don't know.

Well, where is she?

That's what you're going to find out.

Now. Yeah, hi, it's me.

Yeah, I know, I can tell the time.

Listen, Ricardo Pena's mistress was snatched in the middle of the night by

federal agents. I'd like to know why, and I need to know where she is.

No. No, I need to know tonight.

Where are you?

I'm in her office.

I just went through her safe.

Find anything?

Nada. And I'm telling you, if she's got those tapes, they're not here.

I've gone through every drawer, every cabinet.

Great. Where are you?

In her condo.

Great. Yeah, except we're not alone. Penny's here with a small army.

Well, do you see any place there that the tapes might be?

Not yet, but I'm just about to have a look.

For God's sake, you know, you be careful, all right?

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks, Paul. It was above and beyond.

Yeah, they've got her, all right. Where?

At a hotel suite in the Beaumont.

It's like trying to grab Hillary out of the White House.

Senate Ricardo, would you just take it easy? I'll take care of it.

Oh, I intend to.

Busting in is exactly what they'd like me to do.

I'm staying as far away as possible.

Johanna, the sooner the better.

The tapes aren't here.

But if you care to help me out, I'll show you where they are.

Mr. Reno Raines.

This is what you're going to do.

Why would someone like you get involved with Hound Adams?

70 ,000 reasons.

Hound Adams gave you $70 ,000 to hold onto those tapes?

Basically. Although he did have some very specific conditions.

Where did that creep get $70 ,000? From your pal Sixkiller, I gather.

In exchange for his testimony at your trial.

All right, Reno.

Ashley Bond.

This is right up your alley.

Why's that?

Damsel in distress.

White knight riding to the rescue.

Blah, blah, blah.

She's beautiful.

And she's being held against her will.

By whom?

Federal agents.

It's their whole vendetta thing against Peña.

Is she under arrest?

Mm -mm.

Then how can they hold her?

Well, my guess is they've got something over her. Drug charges, prostitution,

beef, I don't know.

And they're using it as leverage?

We know.

These people will do anything to get a hold of Peña. If an innocent girl gets

ruined in the process, then so be it.

And let me tell you something.

Ashley Bond is as sweet as they come.

Where are they keeping her?

In a hotel suite.

No doubt guarded by half a dozen gray -footed guys with automatic weapons.

I want you and Sixkiller to go rescue her.

Now, what would make me want to do that?

Oh, I thought you'd never ask.

Hogs tapes?

Hey, hey, hey, don't get too excited.

This is just a little excerpt I made. I dubbed it myself, especially for you.

Where are the real ones?

Easy, cowboy, just slow down.

Savor the moment.

You ready?

Yeah.

It wasn't the first time I cleaned up Dixon's mess, neither.

And Burrell wasn't the first guy I whacked for him.

Don't you just love coming attractions? Now this, this bit is my favorite part.

This comes from another tape.

All right, Adams, I guess I've got to spell it out for you.

Here's how it works.

I need to get rid of Burrell, and most of all, I need to get rid of Reno

Are you going to kill them both for me?

Dickson.

Ah, ah, ah.

The real tapes are all safe and sound.

All three hours and 47 minutes of them.

And they're yours.

Just as soon as you bring me Ashley Bond.

Bobby, these tapes are dynamite. You've got to hear them, man.

Now, you sure that's Hogg's voice?

Oh, it's him, all right. And he's laying out the whole case against Dixon.

I mean, you want to know the best part? Go.

You hear Dixon ratting on himself.

Well, how did he get that?

I don't know.

Hogg must have not trusted him.

Wore a wire to the last meeting.

What's Dixon saying?

You hear him put out the hit on me and Burrell.

Amazing. Yeah, man.

These tapes are everything I'd hoped they'd be.

Reno, you're not thinking about busting out a government witness now, are you?

Hey, she's not a government witness.

They kidnapped her against her will, and she's got an overhead, that's all.

They're trying to blackmail her.

And you really believe that?

Yeah. Pena is rotten, Reno. I'm not talking about Pena.

The government can't just go in and do whatever it wants, use people and throw

them away.

So you want us to launch a commando raid on government agents to free a

mobster's girlfriend?

Reno, that's nuts.

I don't care.

I'll do whatever it takes.

No, I don't think you would.

Reno.

Thank God.

What's the matter?

I was afraid you were Peña.

So, um... Are you ready to accept my offer?

I can't, Joanna.

For God's sakes, Reno. Do you have any idea what Peña will do to me if I don't

find her?

I don't care.

I will not run errands for that gangster.

Find me Ashley Bond, and I will give you those tapes.

I don't even care about the tapes.

I want my own life back, sure.

But I'm not willing to turn into a monster to get it. You drive a hard

don't you?

I'm not negotiating, Joanna.

You are such an innocent, Reno.

Meaning? Suppose you do get those tapes.

What do you think's going to happen?

You're going to play it on 60 minutes and walk out the next morning a free

It doesn't happen that way.

Well, then how does it work?

You need someone to lead you through the legal maze.

Someone to get you a new trial and make sure you get acquitted.

Reno, this isn't going to be a slam dunk.

Dixon is going to come at you with everything he's got.

What are you offering?

You bring me Ashley Bond, and I will represent you, no charge, for as long as

takes to make you a free man.

And, Reno, I don't lose, ever.

On one condition.

Name it.

We nail Pena.

How? After this is all over, you tell the government.

Everything.

Okay.

I'll give them enough to put Ricky Pena away for eternity.

Will you do it?

All right.

Thank you, Reno.

My hero.

Until finally the hyenas have worn down their...

And in a moment of constant... Man, it's in the channel. What's it getting old?

Gazelle is distracted.

Oh, Tommy Johnson on a turn three for the Oro team. John Davis with that

What's the problem, man? Coming to a tight turn three. Tommy Johnson on the

edge. Hydroplaning. Looking quite good for his mid -title this year for MVP

Sports Cup Series.

Score 100 -102.

It's rebounded by Washington. Coming down to Dr.

G. Dr. G to Washington. Up the hope right... Please remain calm.

Exit your rooms in an orderly fashion and proceed to the nearest fire exit.

calm. Do not panic. Do not run, for you are in no immediate danger.

It's up. It's coming down. It's a buster, boys.

You know what? I mean, tricks work like gangbusters. Yeah, but it won't last for

long. There.

What is this?

Come on. We haven't got much time.

I'm not going with you.

We're on your side, so come on. Let's go. Come on. Ashley, you're free to go.

I don't want to go anywhere.

What are you talking about?

I'm testifying against Ricky Pena. I'm here under protective custody.

Well, then why did the feds kidnap you?

It was arranged to keep Ricky off guard so he would know what was really going

on. Oh, that is just great.

Very clever.

Thanks, gentlemen. Nice work.

How did you find us?

Let's just say I sought legal counsel.

Come on, Ashley.

Don't make things any worse.

Missed you, baby.

Ramon, take care of them.

Thanks for the help, boys.

We're going to show you our appreciation.

Take it easy, will ya?

You know, you guys, you don't have to do this, okay? I got lots of money. We can

all be friends, live happily ever after, huh? Wait a second.

Save your money. I speak Spanish.

Oye,

¿Puedo voy al baño?

Yeah, that's it, pal. Way to get to him. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Careful, muchacho.

Don't hit his face.

We want the fits to recognize them.

Excuse me.

Do you mind showing your appreciation another way? Because, well, this is not

our idea of fun.

Hey, I'm a simple man, eh?

All right, what do you want to do with them?

I know what I'd like to do with them, but we'd better leave them for the feds.

I'll call you.

What kind of monster are you?

Slow down, Reno.

You set me up.

Not really. You knew she was cooperating with the feds, and you let me lead Pena

right to her.

Oh, come on. Give it a rest, Reno. Stop running for saint. You got what you were

after. All I want right now is Ashley Bond.

Now you tell me where she is. How the hell should I know? Well, then get, and

better be good.

Where would Ricky Pena take her?

I have a good idea. I'll tell you how to get there. Oh, no.

You're taking me there.

Personally.

I gave you everything and you betrayed me. Why?

I couldn't live with myself anymore.

You couldn't live with yourself.

You were a stray cat when I found you, Cara.

Your family treated you like filth. You had no life, no future, no hope till you

met me. And now you can't stand to be with me.

It's not that, Ricky.

Then what?

Our life is built on the suffering of others.

Well, then walk away. Why go to the vet?

Would you have let me walk away?

You're so young.

You're only 31.

I love you too.

What are you going to do with me?

I have no choice and you know it.

I won't beg you, Ricky. I'll just ask once.

Let me go and I swear I'll never speak against you.

The attorney.

What are you doing here?

I need protection.

From who, me?

No. That long hair I use is an errand boy. He's not happy about being set up,

and now he's hunting me down.

You've seen him?

Yes, he's tracking me.

He's here now?

I don't know. I think so.

What was that?

Stuck pig.

Go keep a lookout for this guy.

Back off.

You couldn't use that thing if your life depended on it.

You okay?

I will be.

You all right?

Yeah, fine.

Joanna.

Joanna, where are the tapes?

The hound's tapes. Where are they?

Please, Joanna, tell me. Tell me where the tapes are.

Joanna, where are those tapes?

Where are the hound's tapes, Joanna?

Thanks for coming. At least I could do.

And I nearly cost you your life.

But then you saved it.

Reno, without you, I would have spent the rest of my life in fear.

Witness protection would have taken care of you?

No protection program could have kept me hidden from Ricardo.

Thank you.

What are you going to do now?

Try to make up for the last two years.

I'm not very proud of my life so far.

Well, something tells me that you will be from now on.

Goodbye, Ashley.

Goodbye.

Good luck.

I wasn't sure whether you'd come back, Ben.

Me either.

Still hung up on those tapes?

I haven't had a decent night's sleep since you played them for me.

Asleep or awake, I keep hearing Hogg's voice giving it up on Dixon over and

again. Can't shut it off.

We were close, Ben. Real close.

Yeah, we were close.

Now we're right back where we started.

No, that's not true.

We could go you doubted whether those tapes even existed or whether we'd even

get close to them.

So we got close to them, Bobby. So what?

We'll get close again, Reno.

And when we do, won't let go.

Nice dream.
