All language subtitles for A Man Called Hawk s01e06 Vendetta

You lose something back there?

I hope so.

I'm going to the Harrington.

You blow the horn, huh?

A little.

Do I know you? You famous or something?

It wishes with fishes.

No, I'm serious. I mean, you look
familiar.

Like on TV or something.

No, it must have been somebody else.

Yeah, keep it changed.

Hey, relax, pal.

This ain't a war zone.

Backfire happens all the time.

Jesse Turner.

Hey, how you doing, cuz?

Hey, look, you got a minute?

I just need to rap at you.

Yeah, yeah, I'm staying at the
Harrington.

But look, I'll meet you anywhere you
want. You name the place.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, the kids will meet you there.
Okay.

Down on the left.

Homeboy, don't make this a habit.

Twice in five years is a little too
much. Next thing you know, you'll be

about a family reunion.

How you doing?

I'm glad you could make it. I know
you're busy.

So I'm here.

What are you doing in D .C.? You're
supposed to be in Atlantic City.

I'm still there.

I just needed to see you, that's all.
How's the music?

Same old, same old.

Been gigging in a review.

I like it.

It's not headlining at the Apollo, but
it beats sleeping on steel grates at

night. How long are we going to blase
before you tell me what it is?

What trouble are you in this time?

I can't blame you if your jaws are tight
about my being here.

I mean, you've been cleaning up behind
me ever since we were kids.

Somebody had to do it. What is it?

You know Joe Dayton? I know him.

Not friendly.

No love lost between us either.

You ever beef with him?

He's heavy mob, Hawk.

Word on a grapevine has it he's got a
contract out on me.

Why?

He thinks I'm fooling around with his
mistress and dipping into his funds.

Are you?

Hawk, I'm being fed up. You know me. I
never stole as much as a piece of gum my

whole life.

What about the other thing? You've
always been quite a ladies' man, usually

selective, though, about where you take
your pleasures.

Anna and I, we found ourselves doing a
thing.

I didn't know who she was.

And, well, it was hard to stop.

Getting killed might do it.

I never thought this would happen.

You never thought?

Jesse, man.

You have such a sweet sound.

Why do you keep twisting it by breaking
the rules?

Man's got a gift, he's got to respect
it.

I'm sorry, man.

Sorry never changed a damn thing.

Now you tell me why you think Dayton's
gonna hit you besides something you read

on the bathroom wall.

Couple of bad suits been dogging me.

Can you do anything?

I will talk to Dayton.

Don't relax just yet.

What are you, lost man?

This is a private suite.

I want to see Joe Dayton. He ain't
taking no calls. You take mine.

Time to announce me.

I'll get back to you.

Quiet entrance.

It's my show.

Last time I saw you was Atlantic City,
huh? What, five years ago? Yeah, outside

of one of my places. They were zipping
your handiwork into body bags.

Your memory is impeccable.

Have a seat. You obviously have
something on your mind.

Well, no, I just heard you were in town
and I came to discuss some family

business. Discuss?

My cousin is Jesse Turner.

I heard of him. He plays in one of my
clubs. I don't know.

Yeah? What else did you hear? Did you
hear that he's been tampering with one

your ladies? Did you hear that he stole
some money?

Well, let me tell you what he heard. You
have a contract out on him. He's

scared, and I am not happy.

Your cousin's having delusions of
grandeur. I mean, what do I care enough

a two -bit horn player to have a
contract out on him? That's rich.

Well, a pair of a man like you gets
stung by a bee, he reacts.

I don't have time, Hawk.

I got million -dollar deals on my mind.
I mean, what's a few grand to me? What's

the loss of a call girl or a call
whatever?

I can get another one just like I can
replace a horn player.

So, you're not looking for Jesse Turner,
huh?

What brings you to town?

Business. First, I'm buying this hotel.

Then I got an appointment with an eye
doctor.

Yeah, that's right.

Real specialist.

Dr. Fairmont, best in the country.

Gonna fix my right eye.

Well, you go to the doctor, and I'll
tell Jesse to relax.

That's what you want to do?

He can listen to the rumor mill all he
wants, hear all kinds of fairy tales.

I forgot it as soon as it happened.

Will you remember this?

I'm a specialist too.

That wasn't nice, Hawk.

Good help's hard to find.

So what'd he say?

According to Dayton, you've been talking
to uninformed sources, blowing this

thing all out of proportion.

Put it out of his mind a long time ago.

So I can go back to Atlantic City?

Hey, Marvin Gaye says some and none of
what you hear, half what you see.

Oh, he wouldn't lie to you.

He works for Dayton. I seen him at the
casino.

Let's rock.

Short notice.

Couldn't help it. I will not make good
habits.

Good policy.

So, you're Hawk's cousin.

Yes, Jessie Turner. Lorna Wells.

My pleasure. Yeah.

I owe you.

Save it.

I hate to see a strong man on his knees.

Besides, how many favors do I owe you?

I do not know.

Spare room's pretty comfortable.

Plenty of food in the fridge, and any
requests will be honored as long as

they're not too outrageous.

Think I'm all egged here.

Yeah, you'll see her when the deal is
done.

Well, if you'd come in earlier like I'd
asked you to, both of us could have

saved ourselves a lot of inconvenience.

Hawk has him somewhere.

It's up to you to find him. I just want
him dead.

I'll double your fee if you take Hawk
out, too.

Don't argue.

Do it.

Time to pull off the covers.

What haven't you told me?

Anna took the money.

She was going to...

He used it to set us up somewhere.

She had some way of drawing it out of
the bank from the casino.

How much?

A hundred grand.

Some special arrangement she had with
Dayton his wife didn't know about. This

not chump change we're discussing.

Sounds like she means more than just a
pawn to him.

He was going to leave his wife for her.

She's... Hawk, she's a beautiful person.

Not just a...

dancer, but an educated artist.

You're making it real tough to be
sympathetic with you, man.

What possessed you to become involved in
something heavy like this?

I never knew anything about this until
she dumped it on me.

I tried to get her to take it back.

I called Dayton, tried to talk to the
man himself, but it was too late.

He assumed that I put her up to it.

Anna panicked and ran away.

She said she loved me, and I believed
her.

Ever since I've known you.

You've been sitting on a stack of
dynamite picking your teeth with a

match. You're making it real tough to be
in your corner, man.

I'll make it up to you.

Then stop speaking like a child.

Decide to rule your life or be ruled by
it.

Mr. Slater, you know I'm infrequently
amused about people leaning on my car.

I want to get your attention.

You got it.

Let me talk to you, man.

Bad old times.

Maybe get you a bike.

Bike? I thought you were out of the
trade.

I ain't picked up a gun in five years.

I ain't look back, neither.

Never worked the same side of the
street, either. So what do I have that

need?

Contacts.

I'm looking to do some business with the
law and all the boys.

I'm what you call an information broker.

My, my, my. Taking the selling names,
have you?

You know me, Hawk.

I got a little more dignity than that
and a bigger overhead than a penny Annie

Smith.

Spin your tail. Let's rap.

First time I heard about you was about
that handkerchief you used to leave to

sign your hits.

All I use it for now is to wipe the
sweat from my brow when I exert myself.

Which happens with more frequency than I
like.

I'm getting old, Hawk.

A lot of shooters don't live long enough
to say that. You have been blessed.

I was good.

So, if I decide to help, what doors are
you planning on going through?

You're still not convinced, are you?

You don't trust me.

Never did.

Wherefore now?

Touche.

Well, you do decide to steer me in a
direction that'll be straight to the

Come again?

I know you got contacts, Hawk. You
always did have.

I need to talk to somebody for J .D.

Justice Department?

At least you've not become shy in your
old age.

It's been a long road, Hawk.

Long...

Wish I had more sympathy for you, Anna.

What am I supposed to do, Joe?

I'll be here another week.

Come.

We'll talk.

Sounds interesting, Mr.

Flater. But I can't make the decision on
my own.

Nobody's asking you to make a decision,
Carlson. This is not G -Man's school,

Junior. I want you to relay what I told
you to the brass.

O 'Keefe weighed somebody with some
weight. And after they check out this

credentials, then we'll have something
to talk about. And by the way, you tell

'Keefe that I'm not interested in
training his new agent. You got that,

you got a chance lying somewhere between
fat and skinny but these boys will make

you sweat makes them feel important i'm
staying at the washington court you give

me a call you hear anything here sorry

You mind if I hang out with you?

Damn you hard on cars.

Man,

that wasn't a couple of firecrackers
somebody planted back there. Who told

But I got a big question for you,
Lizzie.

You've been out of harm's way for five
years. Why are you jumping back into the

fray now?

Economics, my brother.

I got a daughter, 13.

Her name is Izzy.

Her mother died a few years ago.

Now I gotta make sure she's taken care
of.

I had a checkup a while ago, Hawk. I'm
not gonna be around long.

So, J .D. buys my suggestion.

I can assure my daughter's future.

Two visits in two days.

Much like my company, Hawk.

A man in a black suit tried to kill
Jesse Turner yesterday.

And all night long, I keep thinking it
couldn't be Joe Dayton.

Because he stood right over there
yesterday and told me to my face that he

forgot the whole thing.

Well, now, the worst thing you could
have done is a lie to me when I told you

that Jesse was my blood. Come from the
truth.

Yeah?

Okay.

I'll give you truth.

I have been shamed!

Your cousin ripped me off!

Twice!

Nobody does that to me.

Nobody!

I will do whatever it takes to bring
Jesse Turner down!

Well, well, well.

All this time you measuring Jesse for a
coffin, you never even thought about the

woman.

Maybe...

She is making a fool out of you.

Maybe she came on to him.

Maybe she took the money and slipped
away when you found out.

Takes two to tango, Mr. Dayton.

You... Get out of here!

Why do you still can't?

I can't wait to leave.

But you hear me, Joey D.

The road to Jesse Turner is paved.

You must be going stir -crazy.

I'm all right.

What are you working on?

A report. It's due when I get back from
vacation.

You know, I've been so wrapped up in my
own problems, hiding up in my room. I

don't know what you do or who you are.

I'm a psychologist.

Really?

Impressive.

Surprising. Why surprising?

I don't know.

You look like you could be in the
fashion world or something.

Fashion?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you're beautiful.

Heard you playing this afternoon. It was
wonderful.

I was playing for you.

You were playing for yourself.

I only meant to give you a compliment.

And I you.

Look, I don't want to step on any toes
or anything.

You and Hawk have something. What?

Friends. We are.

And I gave my word to Hawk that I would
shelter you.

Can we be friends?

I'd like that.

I made a good living.

I had a pretty good reputation.

Best money could buy.

And I was proud of it, too.

Shooters travel alone, Huck.

You get a family, you become an easy
mark.

Yeah.

Weak link, only way to get to you.

You got it.

See, my mother and I had nothing in
common.

Except her.

You spend a lot of time around your
flesh and blood, Hawk.

It changes you.

I felt so responsible for her.

So protective.

One day, she was about eight.

She asked me what I did for a living.

I couldn't answer.

So you quit.

Yeah.

Gladly. Two years, man, I turned down
every offer that came.

Two people finally realized this man is
serious.

So I started gambling for a living.

I'd send them money.

When her mother died, I had my luck ran
out.

Like I lost a touch.

I got into debt.

Big debt.

And then this hell thing kicked in.

Pump's almost gone, man.

Well, now, maybe I can use your
services, broker.

Where for?

I'm dealing with a dude named Joe
Dayton.

He wants to deep -six my flesh and
blood.

Seems that he was dallying with Mr.
Dayton's mistress.

And then there's the question about some
missing money, which makes Mr. Dayton's

jaws very tight.

You can't cop no temporary insanity plea
on that.

No, no.

No, no, no. I do believe he's innocent
about the money.

But I cannot convince Mr. Dayton.

Girls are keyed in.

Get her to tell Dayton the truth.

I still know the big boys in Atlantic
City.

I could locate her with two phone calls.

In exchange, you go all out for me at
the Justice Department.

No milk, no shake.

Uh -huh.

Not bad, Jesse.

Not bad.

How you doing?

Setting off a few explosions here and
there.

I appreciate what you're doing.

You know, I wish I could play like this
all the time.

What?

Not for the casino crowd.

Not...

So I give them what they want.

You come from people true to their
talent.

Your heritage says you're a rich man.

Could be you've got to continue the
tradition.

Hey, I'm not down on myself.

I like what I do. I just wish that I
could do better sometime, that's all.

I mean, I know when the music is right,
when it's pure.

You know, when I was a kid, I thought
one day...

I'd be like Louis Armstrong.

Just floating on that sweet sound.

That's all I ever wanted.

When I was a kid.

Now I play for my supper. Could be
different.

Will be when you try.

I'm not good enough.

All it takes is courage, Jesse.

And I'm not you.

Man, don't you think I'd like to be?

You don't understand what it's like just
to keep working.

There's not a lot of places for me to
go.

I do know.

I understand the Dayton's of this world,
which means.

That's where I'll finally get my chance.

Me and Gabriel.

All right, Jesse.

You know.

You know, it's like fishing for marlin.

You snag a big, fierce one, you fight it
for all it's worth, and then

it tires.

And I... That's nature.

I love it.

And you are about to land me two big
fish and clear your debts.

What about my daughter?

Oh, my people will release her as soon
as you hand me their heads on the

platter.

What's the trouble?

Hawk?

You got qualms?

Hawk's a professional. He knows the
rules.

Jesse Turner's harmless.

I want him hurt.

You want him dead, there's a difference.

Big waste of talent.

Talent? What's that got to do with
anything?

Doesn't matter to you, does it?

Maybe some lives are worth keeping.

Oh, you're a philosopher.

No, I'm not a philosopher, Dayton.

But I've heard Jesse Turner play.

Other folk might like to. Slater, I'm a
businessman.

I live up to my contracts or I get
penalized.

The same thing goes for all my
associates. You do what you agreed to do

burn your kid.

Cheers.

I've got some good news for you.

I burned up that phone last night to
Atlantic City tracking down a certain

Anna George.

And? And I got lucky. I found out she's
taking a train to D .C. for a secret

meeting with Dayton.

Now, you get to her before he does,
maybe you gain some leverage.

Here's the train number and time of
arrival.

My, my, my, you're in an ebullient mood
this morning. Makes you ready for that

meeting with the feds. Yep, bring them
on.

Our people did an extensive checkup on
you, Mr. Slater.

Your story holds water.

Apparently you were quite formidable
when you were active.

That was my past.

I want to talk about my future.

We do things in stages.

The Justice Department is a bureaucracy.

How long?

Give me your terms, dollar figure.

We understand about the immunity.

You also need to think about the extent
of protection you might need. We can't

offer much. I can take care of myself.

I bet you can.

So.

You have a figure in mind?

I want $50 ,000 to start with an
additional $50 ,000 at the end of the

year, provided what I give you is
satisfactory.

What do you think, Hawk?

Is this man worth his fee?

You want to know about the three crime
families in Chicago, the movers and

shakers in Atlantic City, the muscle
boys in St. Louis, Moe, and Kansas City?

He rubs elbows with all of them, and
more.

You figure that out yourself.

Okay. I'll take it back to my people.

We'll meet in my office on Thursday
morning.

people to help me.

Oh, Central.

This is Unit 34.

I need an address verification for the
following number.

555 -8790.

Now, how did I know I'd get a call about
static on the line?

If you want another angry customer to
deal with, now you do it.

Thank you.

Here, take the money, man.

Wait. Take it.

What? Who are you?

I'm Hawk. I'm Jesse Turner's cousin.

What do you want with me?

I need to have a hot, hot conversation
before you go and talk to Joe Dayton.

This is kidnapping.

This is a conversation.

Jesse, listen, I'm going out for a
little bit. I'll be back in about an

okay? Okay, see you later. Okay.

I've known Jesse a long time.

There are some things he does I don't
agree with, but stealing is not one of

them. So I have to give considerable
thought to what he says.

What did he tell you?

That he loved you.

And you gave him the impression that you
loved him, too.

And when things got a little too heavy,
you panicked and split.

Woman, let me tell you something.

Joe Dayton is a viper.

When he's out for revenge, nobody means
anything to him. You have deflated his

ego, which means you are his enemy.

Regardless of what happens to Jesse,
just what do you think he's going to do

you?

What was I supposed to do?

I didn't know what to do. Things got all
messed up, so I ran.

And left Jesse holding the bag. You
don't care about Jesse. You care about

yourself. I love him.

I wanted out of the relationship with
Joe before Jesse came along.

I planned on taking the money and going
to Europe to study.

Until I fell in love with Jesse.

When things got out of control, I didn't
spend the money. I just hid it away.

Thinking about Jesse.

He must really hate me.

I told you he loves you.

Where is he?

Somewhere safe.

Anna, you think about what I just told
you.

Maybe we go to Dayton.

I go with you.

And I assure that you are protected
after.

But you got to tell the whole truth just
like you did to me now.

I sent him to Black Hawk.

If you hadn't, you'd be laying there
beside him.

I saw him, Hawk.

A man, tall, black.

Wore a hat.

Late 40s, trench coat.

Yeah.

How do you know?

Left a message.

You'll have to wait in here.

This way, Mr. Dayton.

Go in and relax. The doctor will be with
you in a moment.

You know, the drops they put in, it
makes it hard to focus.

Focus on this.

Hawk, don't be a fool. You're the one
that's a fool. I don't want any yip -yap

-chip -chap. Just tell me where he is.

He's taking a bus back to Atlantic City.

That's all I know.

about Jesse, man.

I didn't have a choice.

Neither did I.

He's still got my daughter, Hulk.

I need you. I need you.

I'll see to it.

I took the money on my own.

I was planning on leaving you and Jesse
had nothing to do with it.

Here's a cashier's check for most of it.

I think I've spent about $2 ,000. I'll
get the rest back to you.

You think you can just end it like that?

What about my pride?

Enough of you and your pride!

You probably got Jesse killed. You
probably got Slater killed.

Leave it alone.

What's the point of going on with this?

I tell you what, rich man, you send all
the shooters you want against her and

I'll protect her.

Slater was good, but I'm the best.

Cogitate on it. You don't want to start
a war with me.

Slater's daughter.

Serve the purpose.

Be free.

I guess Dayton gets away with killing
Jesse.

Might be a surprise.

Could be arrested even as we speak.

Man in the Justice Department wanted
some names that Slater was supposed to

him. When I told him how Dayton
interfered, he was very angry.

But when I further discussed my
willingness to tell the truth about Mr.

he became very elated again.

You think Slater was really going to
give up Dayton?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Maybe he'd just wait to see how the wind
would blow.

But I do know this.

He felt better off retired.

You'll be all right.

I guess.

I'm going to miss him.

God, he could play.

Best part of it.

Listen to this.

Once you hear music it's in the air.

You can never recapture it again.
