The Lord has freed you from sin.

May he bring you safely into his kingdom and heaven.

Glory to him forever.

Amen. And don't be so hard on your mother, Vera.

She saw your room was a mess. She cleaned it up.

You don't want her doing that.

Move out.

Thank you, Father.

Forgive me, Father.

For I got to mess up a priest.

Who is that?

Mind you, God will understand, because this is a guy who loves the big action.

Poor guy.

He just can't pay his debts.

Mike?

You think I wasn't going to find out about Marty Glavin? Three Gs, plus the

juice?

Are you out of your mind?

You have any idea what money will do to you?

Can we not talk about this here?

Riz, you've got a serious problem.

I'll pay him. With what?

Counting on getting some insider tip in that confessional?

I'll get a stipend.

How far behind are you? He's not going to hurt me. Why? Because you're a

Yeah. How far behind are you?

Two months.

They give you a deadline?

This weekend?

Oh, son of a bitch.

I've got time. Well, you're going to have to have fought a cretin to give

Sunday's sermon because your jaw's been wired shut. Stop!

Stop! Stay down! Help me!

What are you doing? You saw that guy.

No pockets, no wallet.

I'll pay. With what? Your gambling winnings? Help me!

Man, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Nobody was stopping.

You okay, guy?

Oh, my God. It's all right.

Take it easy.

What happened?

I got mugged. Yeah?

Are we taking the cops?

He didn't get mugged.

He got rolled by a hooker.

He used to be a cop.

A cop and a priest. Oh, my God. I'm so screwed.

Where do you live?

That better be in a five -mile radius. No, I can't go home.

Not yet.

Look, either give me an address or... I'll give you a hundred bucks if you

me get my stuff back. Your wallet's history.

I don't give a damn about that. You're watching your clothes. They're lying in

some dumpster. I don't care about any of that stuff. I need to get my wedding

ring back.

If I come home without that ring, my marriage is over.

Please. We didn't find her.

It's done.

We went once around the block. Let's just look one more time.

She's not going to go back to the same place. She's a pro.

They move around different streets so that stupid burned Johns like you can't

track them down.

I'm not paying a hundred bucks for a ride around the block. That's fine. Just

pay whatever's on the meter. Now get dressed.

I'm going to talk to Marty. No.

I'm going to get you a waiver, some time.

I mean, you've got to get into a program. I don't need your help. Right.

sure don't need everybody talking about the priest in a program. Yeah, better

they should be talking about the priest in traction.

Here we go.

Chuck, you okay?

Yes, yes, I'm fine, I'm fine. Cut the melodrama. You're screwed up. Move on.

It was my first time, I swear.

If it was your second time, you'd still have your pants.

If I can find the wedding bed, my wife doesn't have to know what happened.

Well, why don't you go to a jewelry store in the morning and buy a new one?

can't. That ring belonged to my wife's father.

I'm not sure that lying to her is going to help you out.

I love my wife. I don't want to lose her again.

Again?

Last year, we separated for a while. I was stupid and... Please, I'll give you

hundred bucks plus the meter.

Please.

Oh, fine.

Fine. A hundred bucks plus the meter.

You're going to help this guy dupe his wife? Oh, gee, Father, would that be

morally wrong?

You get drugged, coughed, or jumped by a partner.

Tied to a hotel bed.

This is not how you save a marriage.

Another area of expertise for you.

And you.

I'll be back in 20 minutes. Get dressed.

Wait. Wait. Where are you going?

Just get dressed.

They can only help one idiot at a time.

One -time waiver, man. One -time waiver. You know how many one -time waivers

have already given the good father?

Look at this.

One dollar tip on a 12 -buck tab.

You worried about the example?

Yeah.

Guy's a priest.

I'm an atheist.

The point is, he's even less anxious than you are for people to be talking. I

don't mind people talking.

But you prefer people paying.

I feed you a lot of business, Marty.

I'll give him enough.

Laundering money through the church is a sacrilege and a crime.

You know, if this could wait till the morning, get some brown pants.

Look, I'm not telling you to launder, but Marty's right.

The church is your answer. How much money comes through here every week? You

want me to rip off God? God's a lot more merciful than Glavin. Maybe short

-term. Long -term, it's not even close.

Long -term, all the money's back.

Now, you got your stipend.

Take a little out every week, cut back on cookies. It's wrong.

That's stupid. Grizz, how do you think this plays out, huh?

You think that Marty, he sends one of his guys, he gives you a beating, and

that's it? Dead or raised?

A guy comes back the next week.

It gives you another beating.

And another the week after. Until you pay up.

Tell me you'll do this.

Chris.

I need to know that you're going to be okay.

I'll do it.

All right, now.

That's what I'm talking about. Come on.

If I get home by 1, I can tell her I had drinks with the bank guy at his club

after dinner.

None of you count for your little Armani outfit there.

Still, the club gave you clothes from the lost and found.

Your wife left you once before, huh? Two months.

Almost killed me.

Well, she took you back.

Thank God.

How do you swing that?

Your wife kick you out?

We're just talking.

It's the worst, isn't it?

What'd you do?

The usual.

Baked my ass off.

Told her I'd do anything she wanted.

Therapy three times a week. Cut back on work.

What did you do?

He packed my things and left.

Hey.

20 bucks for 20 minutes.

Sorry, pal. That's not our thing.

Save the badge. I don't know anything. So you do.

My friend got rolled here by one of your regulars.

I don't know her.

So you just handed her a room key.

No registration form, no sign -in, nothing?

He tell you that? He's wrong.

Gee.

You'd think the people would be more cooperative with Philly PD, wouldn't

I could wait here all night.

My meter's running.

Her name's Anna.

That's all I know.

We got that much already.

Give me all the streets she works.

Two -somes, three -somes, four -somes. I could do any sum.

But you want me to go find a friend? Yeah, I kind of like particular type.

You know, edgy, um...

A lot of style, flashy, and mixed blood. Nice to play rough.

I got just the girl.

Hey, any of you girls see Anna?

She just drove off with a client.

Sorry, baby.

How about one of these other girls?

Um, I don't know this Anna. She sounded really interesting.

Hey,

you know where she takes her johns?

Because maybe I could ask her when he's gone.

We made the sale.

We'll bring it back.

I'm liking the Buick.

Move fast.

What?

Please, you used to be a cop.

You can do this on your own.

Those two months you were separated from your wife, they almost killed you, huh?

Well, when those two become six, they'll eat at your insides like you can't

imagine. So either go home, tell her the truth, and take what you deserve.

Or get out of this cab now.

What if the doors are locked? They won't be.

Hookers never know when they need to bail.

Now move.

Over here.

What the hell?

Excuse us.

I'm liking the ball.

Hey,

what the hell are you doing? Hey! My girlfriend, I swear. Yeah, your

girlfriend's going to rob you, stud.

Hey!

Hands off of me!

Keep the money. I just need the ring.

Can I go?

Shut up.

What are you doing?

That's mine.

Come on, give it back.

This? It's illegal.

Wouldn't want you to get in trouble.

Look, I'll give you my ring. Just get out of my car.

It's not on her.

I told you I don't got no ring. My pimp took it.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Give her back her purse.

Are you just letting her go? It's over. She doesn't have it. Yeah, but what

about her pimp?

Tracking down a streetwalker is stupid.

Tracking down a pimp is insane.

Clichys. My wife, I need that ring.

I can't do this without you.

Well, next time, take a penthouse and a can with you and shut the door.

Yell me 4980.

She's sick.

All right?

She has lupus.

That's why there's no sex anymore.

Her body can't take it.

You're trying to make me feel sorry for you.

No.

For my wife.

Some days the pain's so bad she can't even get herself dressed.

We can't go out.

One by one her friends stop coming by.

And I was no better. I mean, just as soon as she needed me, I couldn't deal.

I wouldn't even kiss her.

Started to work late at my dry cleaning store.

That's why we split up the first time.

But I missed her.

If she finds out about tonight, she's going to throw me out for good.

And she should.

But if she throws me out, she'll be alone.

Yeah.

It's better she should have a lying cheek.

Better she has someone who loves her.

Okay, Oshansky, put the little speaker to your mouth. Press the black button.

I'm not available.

You want to know who my man is?

It's going to cost you more than a happy man.

Well, he'd pay you, but somebody snatched his wallet.

I can pay you in the morning.

Yeah, I'm going to trust you. Guy told me you only had 40 bucks. I found 150 in

his wallet.

Well, what was I supposed to say? Here's my wallet. Take what you think you

deserve. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Inside voices.

Show me where I can find your pimp.

And maybe...

I can pay you some other way. What are you going to do, drive me home?

He's an ex -cop.

He can do things.

You willing to get rough?

Why not?

I got tired of giving him everything, so now he gives me nothing.

I take you to him, you shake him down, give me all the stuff.

Fair enough.

You can't do that. That's my stuff.

She means heroin.

I kind of stepped on her night.

Waiting only gets me 20 cents a minute.

This is where he hangs his show.

I get home the next hour.

Like I said, I got paid from dinner because the pressing machine in Radnor

an electrical fire. You believe that, right? This is your line, not mine.

How long have you been married?

We have to chat.

Fine. You wanted to cooperate?

Start being polite till we leave.

Eleven years.

She'll believe you.

Yeah, right.

Who do you think most of my customers are?

You got any kids?

No. Because you don't want them or because you can't have them?

A second.

I got a six -year -old. Let me see.

Who's watching her? Your hubby or the nanny?

Lost a family?

Uh -huh.

Good people?

Yeah. Maybe if you clean yourself up, you'll get her back.

I've tried getting clean.

Maybe you should try harder.

There. Skinny -ass guy.

Yellow coat?

Yeah, that's the yellow.

Just mess him up good.

Hey, give me some door.

I don't know you, man.

You're a cop.

How's a cop just being trapped in a ring? Give me the bags.

Got the right chain?

You want to clean it?

Tell me who your pimp is.

Who's that guy?

Dio.

He's just some dealer. She wanted me to fleece.

And by the way, there's a 20 -buck charge for incidentals.

So, are you giving me an address, or am I dropping these in the sewer?

What's he paying you?

Huh?

You know I can pay you, too.

Much less chance of getting hurt.

I'm sure.

Thanks anyways.

You plan on being a prostitute your whole life?

No, I'm just saving up so I can go to Penn.

Can't be the life you had mapped out.

What are you asking?

Huh?

Did I dream of being a ballerina?

A nurse?

Going to beauty school?

Yeah, there must have been something.

No.

It wasn't.

Hey, Raymond.

Raymond.

Just calling to you.

My friend and I would take a look.

She said the price was 300, but we got to clear it to you first.

Pay me directly.

Just don't wear out, though.

Hannah's my best.

I wasn't wanting to get off.

You're done. Go.

I'm sorry, Ray.

I had to.

You had to what? Hannah. Hannah, where the hell are you going? Here, Hannah.

Stop. Man, you got nothing on me.

Don't worry, Raymond.

We're not vice.

Well, I just hear about a robbery.

It had nothing to do with no robbery.

Sure you did, and I rolled a joint, kicked the ring up to you, which makes

the possession of stolen goods. Please, it's my wedding ring. I'll pay you for

it.

You ain't no cop, are you?

500 bucks.

Fine, just give me my wallet with the ATM card. Forget it, Chuck.

He tossed your wallet.

Sold the ring.

What are you, deaf or something?

I said I'll give you the ring for 500.

Raymond, don't jerk me around.

Who'd you sell the ring to?

It's at my place.

Give me my money, and you'll get that ugly -ass ring back.

Fine.

Okay. Where are we going? I got zero dollars. I need that ATM card.

Forget your ATM card.

Department of Public Welfare.

Check stub.

He's a pimp, and he collects welfare.

Don't worry. I'm sure he'll declare it on his taxes.

Upper right.

Raymond's home address.

Where the ring is.

Hello? Raymond?

Raymond Henley?

Uh, ma 'am, uh, inspectors Tucker and Cole of the Pennsylvania Welfare

Department.

Collection of disbursement unit.

Uh, we're looking for a Raymond Henley.

At three o 'clock in the damn morning. Sorry, ma 'am, but the robbery just took

place. Um, when Mr. Henley comes home, tell him please to contact our office.

have money for him.

Say that again?

Uh, this stub from Mr. Henley's welfare check was found at a nearby check

-cashing establishment.

But the check was cashed by someone pretending to be Mr. Henley. And you got

money? Yes, ma 'am.

You got to give it to him?

Well, if you cohabitate, we can't leave it with you.

Hey, I'm here.

I live here.

Well, sure.

But in accordance with state regulations, we first need to confirm

Henley lives here, too.

So if you have a document that I could see with his signature or...

He keeps all his crap in the closet.

No ring. That lying bastard.

Yeah, he's a big fat liar.

Relax, he's got it stashed somewhere else.

Or he wouldn't have tried to deal.

We still need money.

Where the hell are you, Oshansky?

If you're dead, your cab better be in one piece.

Calm down, I'm here. I just want to take a leak.

No more relaying personal calls, Oshansky. I'm not an answering service.

What are you talking about?

Needs you to come to the Edgemont Hotel.

She said it's urgent. Name's Anna.

Is she okay?

She said if you wouldn't come, I should call...

Let me see.

You got towels?

Wet one of them.

I'm done with this son of a bitch.

Raymond did this because you let me go.

Drive me out of here.

Anna, listen to me.

Where'd you meet Raymond after rolling this guy?

What? I need to know where he ditched Chuck's stuff. Where'd you meet Raymond?

Around the corner from the hotel, but why? I don't know. All right, grab your

things.

Now, we're going to get you some cash, and we're going to get you safe.

Another one not mine.

Hey, Grizz. How you doing? It's the middle of the night.

Well, I knew you wouldn't be sleeping.

Yeah. Priest discretionary fund or right from the collection plate? Which way

you think God won't notice?

You're doing the right thing.

Thanks. How's the naked guy?

Oh, he's proving his love.

That's nice.

One more.

Hey, Grizz.

I gotta go.

Get some sleep.

Mike.

I appreciate the call.

No problem. See you.

Henry Royce Gans.

Paul Ichigo Moriyama.

Lucky we beat trash pickup, huh?

Why'd you become a cop?

My dad was a cop.

My grandfather was a cop.

My mom was a hooker.

What are you going to tell your daughter?

I haven't seen her for two years.

Why not?

Why should I?

She's better off without me.

Yeah.

You got kids?

A son.

You want to be a cop?

I don't think so.

Not anymore.

Kind of cheese or something.

It's not here.

Forget it.

These will work.

We'll start with the older guys.

You don't have their PIN numbers.

Yeah? What do the banks tell you never to use is your PIN number?

Uh, date of birth, 8 -9 -36.

No.

Okay.

Henry Royce Gans.

Put your hand up over the camera.

Henry Royce Gans, 3 -5 -41.

It ate it.

Guy must have reported it stolen.

Gutsy. Okay, Neil Drucker, 6 '8", 42.

Yes, bingo.

You're going to hold on to Mr. Drucker's license, and you're going to write him

a check for the money.

Let's get you in the train first.

Can I just make one stop, please?

I bet you're one of the tallest girls in the class, huh?

Can I go back to bed now? I'm tired.

She has school in the morning.

So she'll be cranky.

We shouldn't have let you do this. This is not right.

Look, how many times have you cursed this woman for ignoring her daughter?

Forgive her the bad timing. Just give her two minutes.

Your birthday's coming soon, huh?

You must be really excited.

What happened to your face?

Listen, baby.

Mom has made a lot of mistakes.

But, um, always remember, huh?

No matter what, I love you.

Okay?

Do you love Mommy too, sweetie?

Come on.

We should get going.

Please, Lucy, just say you love your Mommy too, okay?

Please, Lucy.

They didn't come here to hear it.

They came to say it.

Mommy?

I'll just leave it up to you. Anna, be smart.

No pimps.

Work for yourself.

You're going to get beaten up.

I'm done hooking.

It's a train. It's not a magic carpet. Just try to stay safe.

Train 147 nonstop service to Cleveland. Now boarding at track six. Please have

your tickets and ID ready.

On board.

A mother.

I didn't think about being a nurse or nothing like that.

I just thought about being a mom.

A better mom than I had.

I gotta stay.

Try to make things right.

If you stay, Raymond will keep beating on you until you end up dead. And your

daughter never sees you again.

So cut the crap, get on the train.

I'm sorry.

I gotta try.

I hope she makes it.

Let's go.

I don't know what he went with this junk anyways.

My wife give me something like this, I'd boot her.

500.

500.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Call it.

There's something else I want to buy from you.

Please tell me you got it.

Oh, man. Oh, thank you. I can't tell you how much. Thank you.

Turns out there's another incidental charge.

For what? Caught a luggage handling.

Brings the price to five grand.

You're shaking me down. The only way to help Anna is to buy her away from

Raymond. That's his price.

So, that's my price.

You're just going to hand him five grand. What kind of a sucker are you? If

doesn't want her a deal, he can't do business.

Same rules on the streets as in the dry cleaning game.

No, look, no.

I'm not paying for that whore's freedom.

Okay, fine.

Where are we going?

Aberford. See if your little fire -and -depressant -machine story holds up with

a wife.

Well, where am I supposed to get that kind of money at this hour?

I'm telling you, I don't have the key. We can't get in. I think I've got to

wait.

A bunch of the coal. Get the money.

Come on, get the money. Okay, okay.

Pick out some clothes. You don't want to go home to your wife smelling like

dumpster.

You have any idea how much a door like this costs? No, I'm really curious. Go

get the money.

You think your crap smells better than everybody else's, don't you?

But I guess every cab driver feels that way.

You know what, Chuck? You're right.

I've been too judgmental, and I'm really, really, really sorry. Now go get

money.

No, I'm through taking orders.

What'd you do, Chuck?

What are you talking about?

You son of a bitch.

You punch in the distress car.

You, up against the car.

You, out of the car.

Your hand's where I can see it.

My name's Charles Bynum. I own this place.

Right. Look, there's photos on the wall inside.

I was working late. This guy, he broke in. He tried to rob me. Hey, he's lying.

Officers, I used to be on the job. I can explain everything. He took my ring.

It's in his pocket.

Look on the inside. It says 3 ,891. It's my wedding date.

All right. Hands behind your back.

That's it.

One at a time.

You all right?

I am now.

We're closed.

Marty. Evening, Father.

I told you I have the money by the weekend.

Get out of here.

What, you don't want me coming to church?

Get out of here before I throw you out. You think your anger's a little

misplaced. Maybe you want me to hurt you.

You got no business here.

Tonight I do.

Olshansky called.

Bail money.

He's locked up in Haverford.

Said to put it on your tab.

Neighbor's dog crapped on your lawn.

Who is it, hon?

Wrong house.

I'll be right up.

How did I find out where you live?

I did a search on the internet.

I entered Haverford plus jerk and your address turned up.

I used to be a cop, remember? I'm good at finding people.

Now, the money from your store, it's still in the safe.

Your story got broken into.

You ain't leaving it there.

So you're going to give me every dollar that you brought home, plus whatever

other loose change you got in the sofa cushions.

And then you're going to sit down in your cozy home office and you're going

type up a statement to the police that you lied about what I did tonight.

And if I don't, you're going to spill everything to my wife. Right down to

seeing your flabby little man breasts.

I already told her what happened.

Some crazy cab driver took my ring and forced me to break into my own store.

you want to know the amazing thing?

It's all true.

So get off my property before I call the police and tell them that the man who

robbed me is now stuck in me.

Actually, would you mind bringing your wife down here?

Why, so she can hear the truth from the guy who robbed me?

No.

I think she'd be more interested in hearing it from the guy by my cab.

He wants the clothes back.

Unless, of course, you want to buy them.

You know what really sucks, Chris?

I always thought that if you got in a jam, that I'd be your go -to guy.

I have a go -to guy.

Same one it's always been.

Hell of a job he's done for you.

And nothing for the church.

Just what you owe Marty.

Did you squeeze this guy?

Don't worry, he got what he wanted.

He had nothing to do with my mess, Mike. What, are you playing martyr now?

You know, friends help friends.

They take him out for coffee when they're lonely.

Give him a shoulder to cry on.

What do I get from you?

Cash.

You want it or not?

Fine, I'll take it.

You got the money?

Yeah. Got your goods.

She's here?

Look, Anna.

It's your knight in a big yellow cab here to rescue you.

Oh, beautiful.

Couldn't go a lousy few hours without begging for smack, could you? You don't

get it.

It's hard.

That's why she can't run him back.

She knows I look after her. You're a real hero, Raymond.

You don't want a hero.

You just want a guy I'll take care of him 24 -7.

No, I'm not kidding, Raymond.

She deserves you.

Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

Ah, damaged goods. I'm not buying. Hey, hey. What, you thought this was serious,

huh?

You were buying me?

From him?

We had a deal.

You owe me five grand.

Give me your weapon.

I don't have one.

You're a smart guy. You ain't coming up in here naked.

Cough it up.

Cool.

Okay, you paid up for one week.

You're still here at the end of that?

Talk to somebody.

See what sort of aid they got.

Is everything going to be okay?

He's going to come after me when I'm out, isn't he? Probably.

But if you're clean, he can't hold you.

One more thing.

What do you buy a six -year -old for her birthday?

Um, well, Nike, uh, he loved it.

Hey.

What happened to you?

Why'd you stop being a cop?

Somebody screw you over?

Yeah.

Somebody.

So we're square?

Yep. And Olshansky's bail money's all covered? Yeah, yeah. We're square.

Nice. Happy to help.

Can you believe that the Eagles are getting four and a half this weekend?

Really? Yeah.

Put me down for 200. I'll take the points.

Oh, you've been on the best train. Here you go. Change?

No, that's all right. You can keep it. Thank you very much.

I'll change. Can you there?

Yeah.

I've got a pickup for you. Another one of your fans has confused specifics.

Yeah? It's tough being so popular.

Where to?

Gotta go on the lam.

Stuck in no man's land.

Ain't nobody here on your way.

Ain't nobody gonna lend you a helping hand.

And you start breaking down.

And you go to the sound.

But you hear that fast tune.

I do love her.

Yeah.

She deserved the truth.

So what are you going to do to get her back this time?

Everything I can.

I don't know where.
