you

All right, folks, please.

Thank you.

Now I'd like to offer a toast to the winner and my old friend, Slaughter.

By the way, while we're in the mood for toast, how about a drink for our new

friend, Ed Pratt?

You want to leave?

In a while.

Well, Rita's pretty shook up. I'm going to take her home.

That's a good idea.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, baby.

Hey, you know something?

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

I gotta think about it a while.

You know something? He was my main man in the world.

Where are you gonna be?

Take Rita home, okay?

That's far enough.

Relax, Slaughter, we're police.

You better show me some identification.

You always carry that thing?

You got a permit?

Yeah, yeah, I checked.

You ought to knock before you go around opening doors.

Accident caused.

I've been told.

You know, we waited for you all night.

Then we went out and had coffee. Hey, now, wait a minute, wait a minute. What

you want?

I see you're thinking about leaving town.

Not leaving, just moving.

You're not going anywhere.

What?

Well, uh, what's keeping me?

I am.

And a little thing called murder.

We'd like a few answers.

Now, you know I gave that report last night. Yeah, I read it.

It said nothing.

Let's cut the crap, Slaughter.

I know what happened in Mexico. You crossed up some big people.

They got a lot of friends up here who want to see you dead.

That's my problem.

Like hell it is. It's a police problem.

Well, why don't you get off my ass and do what you're being paid to do?

You got a reputation, Slaughter.

You like to operate alone?

Well, forget it. Don't even think about it.

You're not going to turn this town into a shooting gallery.

You know, the citizens are real uptight these days. A lot of gunshots and

screams could cause nervous breakdowns. And you're the shrink, right?

Dr. Shrink. Slaughter, I'm going to get some answers even if I have to book you.

On what?

For openers?

Let's say withholding evidence.

You get your things together and we'll finish this downtown.

All right, Reynolds, take it easy.

Take it easy.

Slaughter on Crowder.

Chief of detectives.

Sorry about what happened yesterday. You have my sympathy.

Sometimes our people get a little over -anxious.

It's understandable.

But we have a good department.

Yeah, well, I've seen worse.

But, Captain, you don't mind. I was just about to leave.

Well, go right ahead.

We're going to stay on top of this lot. We want to break this case.

Well, I'll be cheering for you.

Anything I can do? Off you lift.

Yeah, just lock the place up when you guys leave.

James. James.

Yeah? Wait outside a minute, will you?

Right.

What's going on? I'm trying to do a job, and you let him walk out of here. Don't

make us look stupid, Reynolds. We got nothing on him. Oh, I've seen you hold

people for a hell of a lot less. That's right, and as long as I'm under the

department, I call the shots.

When are you gonna stop running it? There's sharks out there. He's blood on

water. He wanted protection. He had asked for it. Oh, so we just sit. Just

and wait until they start shooting, huh? Look, I don't give a damn what you do,

but you remember this.

As long as I'm sitting behind that desk, I give the orders.

The minute you can't take it, you're out.

Understand?

What'd he say?

Nothing.

Was he pissed?

He wasn't smiling.

I can handle him.

That's good.

Of course, he still ain't smiling.

Had your breakfast,

Terry?

I'm not too hungry.

Breakfast is a very important meal.

It gives you energy for the day.

Chicken livers, Charlie.

Fine, thank you.

You sure you won't have any breakfast?

No, thank you.

I wanted to talk to you about yesterday.

Well, I'm listening.

What can I say? I blew away the wrong people.

It was sort of a stunt.

Oh, no, it was a mistake.

A mistake?

It's a mistake. Exactly.

Oh, darling.

love you.

Enjoy,

darling. Enjoy.

Harry, how do you like it?

It's fun. This is Duncan just fine.

Oh, honey, you don't think it's too long, do you? Oh, no, it's perfect.

Now, listen, you be a sweetheart, okay? Go get yourself a drink.

Harry and I have some business to finish up.

Well, all right, but don't you take too long because we have a date to go

sailing.

another chance, Mr. Duncan.

Harry, I gave my word to some good friends.

Important friends.

They wanted Slaughter dead.

A simple hit.

And then we had this mistake.

I come here once a year for the weather, do a little business.

And now I got a big problem.

There's one man.

How bad can he be?

He buried a few in Mexico. Maybe you could ask them.

I'll get his balls for you, Mr. Duncan, I swear.

No, no, Harry, look.

Just relax and take it easy for a while. Why wait?

You're paying that cop plenty to keep slaughter on the street.

I do the financing.

That's my business.

Hey, Kirk!

Ah, Mr. Duncan.

My friend.

Welcome. Welcome.

Oh, you look great, my boy. When did you get in?

A few minutes ago.

I made myself comfortable. You sure did. Hey, folks, I want you to say hello to

Kirk. I've known this guy since he was this high.

Hello. Hi, Kirk. How do you do?

Harry, this is Kirk from Miami.

Hi.

Hiya.

Is that our boy? That's him.

No problem.

It's got to be clean.

Is there any way to fly?

Good.

I'll see you later for dinner.

My pleasure, Mr. Duncan.

Hey,

Slaughter, I'm sorry about what happened.

Marcia told me all about it.

Thanks a lot, brother.

Hey, look, do me a favor, okay?

Put that thing someplace where you can watch it. When I turn the key, the only

thing I want to start is the engine.

Yeah, I hear you.

I'm sorry.

That's okay, baby.

Go outside and see if Marcy's there, and I'll be back here.

Sure.

What's going on, big brother? Hey, just keeping the grease out, baby.

Hey, you cool?

Can I talk to you a second? Yeah.

Waiter, tell me. I don't know which one you want.

Listen.

Okay, sir.

Hey, babe.

Hey, man, go and get your girl's coat.

Make it a quick one.

Two minutes, Dad, and I'll be back on the turf and working in five.

20 fucking dollars.

I've been calling you all day. You didn't answer.

Because I don't live there anymore.

Where do you stay?

I'd rather you not know that, baby.

When will I see you?

Look, I've got to put a lot of pieces together.

Don't shut me out, Slaughter.

Baby.

The last thing I want to do is shut you out.

I just don't want anything to happen to you.

Nothing's going to happen to me.

Slaughter, baby.

cat that ever walked earth.

And besides, I'm going to do it to them before they do it to me.

You can bet your money on that.

Hey, Slaughter.

Fried beef, baby.

Medium rare.

I think I can handle that, brother.

So why don't you just go on back outside and give the paying customers another

look at your pretty face?

You know, that's what gets me about you, slaughter.

You're so goddamn cool.

And still you, your slaughter blinks.

Don't get caught reaching, Joe.

Hey. Yes, babe?

There must have been some heavy dudes that tried to wipe the big man, huh?

You fishing?

Oh, I just don't want to see you come up short, babe.

Why don't you turn the slaughter on to me?

For what?

Maybe I can help the brethren.

I'm not a messenger service.

Hey, Daddy, right on time.

Yeah, hey, action's dead here. Get on back to the house and snap.

When I put my hands on you again, your hands better not be empty.

Next time you lay your eyes on me, my hands gonna be filled with a whole lot

green for you, Daddy.

Don't move it, baby. Sit up and get to work.

You're gonna steal him some spring meat for the stable.

For that giant of time, Husker wants to help me, huh?

Who knows what he wants?

You think it'd set me up?

For a price, he'd do anything.

I mean, I'm going to take you someplace you ain't never been.

I'm going to turn you on.

Then I'm going to turn your feet up there.

Out.

I'll get it for you. Uh -uh, baby. Buy yourself a drink. You don't be seen in

house.

Yeah.

I hear you got some rap for me. Well, here I am.

I ain't got no bitch with you, man.

I'm a cool your ass chump.

Say, man, I'm just a dude on a umble trying to hustle. That's all. I just

do nothing for nothing.

Well, what you got worth knowing?

Van has a petty dudes uptown want you, man. Organization.

Hey, man, I don't hear about no van.

I want some names.

I ain't got no names right now.

Lay some bread on old Joe, man.

See what he can buy for you. That's all I've been trying to say.

Pimp.

Pick up your shit.

I'll tell you what you can do, though.

Why don't you go down here and check with Smitty? It's about 12 miles down

road. Hold it, man.

Smitty sent me here.

He sent you here?

Yeah.

Just wait. Wait a minute, will you?

Now, Harvey, come here.

Well, come here, will you?

They got man over there.

What do you want a duster for?

Got a run of weevils on your cotton?

I don't want to play and just want to know about yours.

Look, I done told you we ain't got no stairmen. Shut up, Harvey.

I told him we ain't got none. Best thing, get yourself a gunny sack and

what you can while you can.

Ain't that right, Lion?

That's right.

Now, how would you like to be picking your teeth out of your lips, sucker?

You know, best you don't talk like that to Brother Harvey.

Well, I'll talk to you.

Now, where's that plan?

Friend, now's a good time to get your ass out of here.

If I don't, I'm coming back.

Well, I swear, you are one thick -headed fool.

You don't fight a bull that big. You shoot it.

Well, it's been quite a dry spell.

But miracles do happen.

pretty tight over the phone.

And I, uh, know you're not here for a consultation.

But, Marcia, I need your help.

I read the papers.

I need a pilot.

I imagine you do.

His name's Acker. Harry Acker.

You ever heard of him?

You know, I always travel by train.

I, uh, I find it's much safer.

Why should I know him?

Because he deals in junk.

Flies across... the border, real low -like. That kind of pilot, huh?

Yeah. Well, my dealing days are over, love. I was apprehended a few years ago,

if you remember.

Yeah, I remember.

Just don't know a lot of people.

Yeah, but naming names is always bad policy.

Unless I get the right price.

It is a slaughter, baby.

Don't you remember?

It should be a shame to yourself.

Come on.

I'm just playing games with you, Slaughter.

I've really missed you.

And I always will.

Well, um... What about that prize you talked about?

It's you.

All of you.

You mean, uh... Yeah, that's just what I mean.

that's going to be a pleasure, baby.

Well, I'll see to it that you don't get shortchanged.

Well, you never did that.

Okay, I'll give you a name.

Mario Bertoli.

A real freak.

Deals blow and everything else.

Big time.

I'm sure he'll know your pilot.

Now, do we have our deal?

Yeah.

We got a deal, baby.

So, um, just come on in, Daddy.

And, uh, we'll see what we can do.

Last week?

Seems like last year.

What a party, man.

Hey, you don't know Billy Baxter, do you?

Nope. Yeah, well, that's a crazy dude, man.

It's really crazy.

You dig this, man?

Far out chicks, right?

Totally, you've got everything, my man.

That's right, man.

Don't want to miss a thing.

You never know when your light's going to go out.

Boom.

That's right.

Mario, where's the eye?

Freddy, where it always is, in the ice bucket, you stupid bitch.

I think this freaky chick, she gets the jollies off with ice cubes.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, work it out, bitch. That's it. Work it out.

Yeah.

Come on, bring it home to daddy. Yeah, dynamite ass.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, honey. Let's go take a swim.

I'd love to see what you look like with nothing on. Be cool, Mama. You can have

me later.

Hurry up.

I don't want to wait too long.

We'll be right out.

It's my own person, man.

It's white light.

The finest.

I got my own, brother.

Get wet, stud.

Yeah, come on.

If you want, it's going to happen, man. These chicks are freaky.

You know, I used to have this black buddy of mine in New Jersey, man. I used

get him smoking, man, and I used to jump in on him.

Forget your stash. I want Harry Acker.

Who are you, man?

And the man that's asking the question, now where is he?

I don't know. You don't know.

But this says that you do.

I didn't kill him.

I'm not a jury.

It's too bad about Acker.

He flew the plane that cut off your friends.

It's a good motive.

Now, you know I didn't kill him.

I'm the trigger man.

Well, he had an unfortunate accident.

He got a cramp and drowned.

Hey, now, you're jumping way ahead of me, Reynolds.

Right. I'm way, way ahead of you, my friend. I can deliver the rats you want

you get me what I want.

And what's that?

A list.

A payoff list.

Both sides of the fence. Cops, hoods, politicians, you name it.

Man, what the hell are you talking about?

It's locked up in a house.

This runs it down for you.

Law plan, address, and a blueprint for the safe.

Are you kidding?

You're going to sell me on a jive time wrap like breaking and entering?

You prefer murder one?

Hey, let me remind you of something.

I've got a friend, Captain Crowder. Your boss.

And he's not going to like that.

Well, that's who I'm aiming at.

If two and two make four, I am betting that Crowder's name will top the list.

Look, Slotty, you have no choice.

I'll book you under the name of Gonzales, stick you in the tank, lose

It's a week out of your life.

By then, the people you want and I want, who knows where they'll be.

Really got this all figured out, huh?

Yeah.

Let me ask you a question, Reynolds.

What did you do before you became a cop?

Oh, Jesus, Lord.

You can take a spook out of the country, but you can't take the country out of

the spook.

Where'd you get these giant ass numbers from, boy?

I dreamed them, man. I dreamed them up this morning.

Who are you hunching, Pop?

526 is black man and 511 is watermelon and 750 is muddy water and

121 white water.

Yeah.

I had this dream this morning.

Dream? Yeah. I dreamed this pretty black man.

That's me.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Go ahead. Go ahead.

I was eating watermelon and I was running through this muddy water and

white woman was after me.

And she didn't want a piece of my watermelon either.

You're lying.

If a blind or ugly white woman in a wheelchair with one leg was after you,

fall down screaming, Here it is, baby.

Spring meat. Let's get it on.

Hey, Cleveland, old brother.

Glad you could make it.

No hassle.

Mr. Jordan's my regular stop.

This job is my rent money.

If that combination come in next week, old man, you're going to be crying.

Tell him about it, brother.

What's happening, young blood? You uptight?

Yeah, you might say that, Cleveland.

I've got to take care of some business.

I need a man.

What kind of man?

Expert. Safe artist.

I need the best in the business.

Shit, son. I used to carry your piggy back in your daddy's yard.

I hate to see you getting mixed up in this kind of business. If you're hurting

for some bread or something, I'll let you have some until you get straight.

You know, I got a lot of dough, Cleveland.

Yeah.

Well, you ain't through with him yet, huh?

Not yet.

Well, if you just got to do it.

You go down to Rose Avenue down there by the ocean. There's a white house on the

right side of the street.

There's a guy there by the name of High Life.

Best in the business.

And son, be ready to pay good.

Oh, I'll pay good.

Go slow, please.

Just like the river, I always take my time.

I am your lord.

Your light.

The Gospel of St.

Creole, chapter 69.

Freak scenes versus straight action.

You will...

Long green.

He spells bread. He asked for highlight.

Heat? Heat?

Don't be silly. Cleveland sent him.

Where's it at, man? What's in it?

You want the action?

I'm just curious to know where I'm sticking my sweet meat.

What kind of green we talking?

What's your bottom line?

Well, everything's mellow here. No risk, no sweat. So let's just say I

jump for a ten.

You can have both for the price of one.

Hey, man, I don't buy no pussy.

Well, brother, since we're going to be partners, you can have a taste free.

Hey, man, cut this shit out. Let's get down to business, okay?

Okay, lay it out.

Oh, come on.

I love you.

I love you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey,

man, you can't hurry brain surgery.

Bill.

Thank you for watching.

jokes, great.

I'd like to refresh your memories.

You were hired to give me some protection, a little peace and quiet.

I got half this town on the payroll, cash, hard cash, to get blasted by a

of maniacs?

Well, money won't buy you brains.

I'm sorry, Mr. Duncan. I was busy.

You know who was in that safe?

I can imagine. The list, Kirk.

Big names. Not just our operation. City Hall.

The whole operation.

It's right down the toilet. Down the drain.

Slaughter was here with the pro.

Who the hell is he?

It won't be hard to find. Some pimp. Joe Creel.

Kirk.

I told you to keep this clean.

Mr. Duncan.

Please.

has sailed.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a whole new ballgame.

Now, you hired me to do a job, and I'm going to do it.

But you've got to trust me.

I'll get the list.

Hey, what's the run? On vacation.

When you hide out, you do it in style. I can say that for you.

Hey, slow down.

I'm going to make us some lunch.

We can eat later, baby.

I want to show you something.

Huh? I want to show you this thing.

It gives you a full shot of the lobby.

Now, there's a security guard there 24 hours.

Anybody coming or going has to go through him.

You understand?

Now, if this buzzer rings and I'm not on the screen, you call security.

And then you get me on the mobile phone.

Understand?

You're moving on them, aren't you?

Yeah.

If I can get everything together.

So that's why I'm here.

Look, Marcia.

Everybody knows we're tight, baby.

I don't want anybody coming down on my baby.

You know how to use this?

You just squeeze

the trigger.

You just made a big mistake, Slaughter.

Is that right?

Yeah.

There's a bottle of wine in that sack.

Pour some.

Then you say, ma 'am.

You've been rushing and fussing and running.

But now, I got this little thing.

And you're going to do what Mama says.

Can't even trust Mama these days, huh?

You guys looking for some carols?

No.

How'd you get in here?

We walked.

You sure you don't want no carols, my man? Here.

You got something that belongs to me and I want it.

The list.

Here, you cracker. Come on, black

no -good motherfucker!

Come on, white faggot, jump!

that list is or I'm going to kick your eyes right out your ass.

they went for a double hit.

I got your friend Creole last night.

Yeah, I know about that, but I'll take care of him. Oh?

Do you have any ideas who did it?

Mechanic named Kirk.

Works for a man named Duncan.

Duncan?

That's the man you're after.

Why didn't you tell me that last night? I was out there. I could have taken care

of him.

Maybe.

Maybe I wouldn't have my list.

Maybe you don't have it now.

We made a deal.

You got nothing but a scalp.

Go get your help.

This is an emergency, an emergency.

There's a wounded officer at 9033 Soto Street. On the roof. He needs an

ambulance. Attention all units in vicinity.

9033 Soto Street.

who needs help.

Repeat, 9033 Soto Street.

Officer needs help.

have a damn good reason for getting me out here.

I do.

And his name is Kirk, that maniac who works for you.

He's been taking pot shots at Slaughter and one of my men.

Yeah, I know about that. What's the story on the list? That's the point,

I was all ready to take it when that moron decided to pull his little

Just take it easy. Kirk knows how to handle himself.

That's why he's working for me.

And so are you.

Never mind who I work for.

You keep Kirk in neutral for a while.

With Slaughter dead, that little list could end up anywhere, including the

morning mail. Well, I can't keep Kirk on a leash.

Now, I suggest you start looking for Slaughter.

I don't have to.

I know just where he is.

He's going to be taken care of.

I'll be right there, baby.

Norja?

I think you ought to listen, mister.

Yeah, I think so.

I know since you're going up there, she's gone.

You son of a bitch. What do you do with her? Easy, easy.

She's in a safe place.

I guess you'd like to see her, huh?

You guessed right. You get your hands off me and I'll take you there.

We'll take your car.

I think I'd feel better if I had your gun.

I don't try anything, Slaughter.

Johnny here, he hasn't missed it in a long time.

And he hates niggas much more than me.

Take out your toy, put it on the roof, get in the back seat and relax.

You too much.

You let your old lady walk right into this, huh?

Now you're bitching about it.

You know the trouble with you?

You let your personal life interfere with your work.

I'm gonna kill you, sucker.

Sure, sure you are.

The way I see it, the score's 40 to 0, my favorite. I own the referee.

You okay, baby?

I couldn't do anything. They kicked the door down.

Just have a real animal here. She put up quite a fight.

Not bad looking for a black bitch. Man, you cut that black shit out. Now, do you

want to do business?

Yeah.

I want the list right now.

She goes.

Let her walk out of here. She's not going to walk out of here. She's going

drive out of here. Give her the keys.

You understand?

I want that list.

You get the list, right?

Enough of this fooling around.

Now, you trust me. I trust you.

Otherwise, I'll kick your ass right here.

Now, where is it?

Guess I don't have much of a choice.

this list back is going to make a lot of people very,

very...

How'd it go, Sal?

Good job.

Take it off, Gal. Thanks.

Lana, get out of the car.

Where?

Come on, I want to talk to you.

I've got a little surprise for you.

What are you talking about, man?

What the hell are you talking about? Where's the bread?

In there.

Dirty. Don't ever touch the cop, sweetheart.

Now get in the car, Romeo. You and your love is going to take a little ride.

Hey, the car or your head?

here, sweetheart.

Turn on the key.

Move!

It's a straight road, sweetheart.

A one -way street. You and daddy are going for a swim. Now move.

What, do you want to play some games?

No! How about a little rush roulette with your old man's head, huh?

No!

One down, five to go.

Now move, sweetheart.

Journey chats, niggers.

Over the cliff.

That should do it.

Don't worry about a thing.

We're almost finished now.

No, no, we're careful.

Yes, Miss Duncan.

All right.

Good night.

Quiet.

You don't want to die, do you?

50 grand.

District 58672, Royce,

$175 ,300.

$165 ,570.

$685, New York. Check.

Here we go.

Thanks, Artie.

A lot of pretty stuff out there, huh? Very pretty.

Want a drink?

Please.

You know, Mr. Duncan, all those little suitcases out there would make me a very

happy man for a long, long time.

Make a lot of people happy, Kurt.

I want to take care of you myself, personally.

That's the company money. That's the week's take.

Prostitution, drugs, gambling, the whole shooting match.

Now, right now, it's dirty money.

Well, I'll wash my hands after I spend mine.

Nobody touches it yet.

There's almost $3 million in there.

Now, what we do, we sell it overseas. We invest it in legitimate foreign

companies. Friendly companies.

Very friendly.

And when it comes back, it's clean.

Absolutely clean.

We pay the corporate taxes, and nobody invests.

Nobody.

Can't lose much money that way, can you?

Not too much.

Well, cheers, gentlemen. Cheers.

Hey, Tiger.

Got you some coffee here.

All right, sucker.

Want to get killed?

Woman killer?

escort, old partner.

First escort I ever had that wasn't headed to the police station.

That's my pleasure.

And I want to thank you for this list. It's got everything.

Crowder's name is on every page.

By the way, where are you headed?

Vegas. Vegas? That's too close.

Paris is the spot for you. Paris?

Yeah. You see, Blood, I want you out of this country.

I need a long rest.

Well, you know, I'd like to oblige you, my brother, but I don't have my passport

with me.

And the one that I have expired.

Well, I don't think you have to worry about that. I got you a brand new one.

It's a nice picture.

Makes you look real pretty.

You thought this all out, too, huh?

Yep. You probably already notified the gendarmes in Paris that I'd be there.

Yeah.

sort of a welcoming committee, just so you don't get lonesome.

That's very thoughtful of you.

You know, I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you, too.
