All language subtitles for 1996 - Over The Wire

Something real kinky.

After all, this collie is costing me
three bucks a minute.

Whatever you want, baby.

Ooh, you're making me so hot.

Just to commit one murder?

That's my price.

You can't afford it. There's nothing
left to discuss.

I can afford it. Good.

Who's the target?

My sister.

Do you want the address?

Go ahead.

4106 Silver Ridge Avenue.

When are you going to do it?

In a week's time.

You don't need to know.

Well... How do I get a hold of you if
something goes wrong?

You won't hear from me again until after
it's done.

Don't worry.

Nothing will go wrong.

911 emergency. May I help you?

Yeah, I'd like to report a murder.

May I have your current location, sir?

Well, actually, no. The murder hasn't
even taken place yet. Sorry, sir. I

understand. Did you say the murder
hasn't happened? Look, lady, I work for

phone company. I just overheard a
conversation between a woman and a man.

the woman asked this guy to kill her
sister for her.

Is that all, sir?

What do you mean, is that all?

Sorry, but there's really nothing we can
do. It was probably a prank of some

sort. I wouldn't worry about it.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day?

Then you'll have to call me.

Well, then I'll do it when I get home.

All right.

Honey, guess who just walked in here?

Bruce.

Well, I don't know, but as soon as I get
off the phone, I'll find out.

Yeah, okay, I'll tell him.

Yeah, I love you too.

Hey, Bruce, how's it going?

Not so, uh, not so good.

Aren't you still supposed to be at work?

Yeah, I left a little early.

Heard something over the wire that, uh,
was kind of strange and...

Spooked me.

What'd you hear?

Well, this lady hired this guy over the
phone to kill somebody.

You know, like you and I were ordering
pizza.

Well, it doesn't surprise me. I hear
that kind of stuff all the time. Roy,

don't even know the half of it.

She told this guy that the person she
wanted killed was her sister.

Are you serious?

What should I do?

What do you mean, what should you do?
Nothing. I just can't do nothing.

Someone's going to die unless I do
something.

Don't kid yourself, Bruce. You're not a
cop anymore.

There's nothing you can do.

Just forget about it.

It's probably just a joke anyway.

I don't think so.

Can I help you?

Yeah, do you live here?

Uh, yeah.

I'm sorry to bother you, it's just
that... Well, I... Well, what?

Can I come in for a second?

Look, if you're trying to get me to
switch to long -distance phone companies

something, I'm really not interested.

There's something you need to know.

It's about, uh, your sister.

Okay.

Thanks.

So what's this about Susan?

Well, I don't know how to say this.

Say what?

Did we forget to pay our phone bill or
something?

No, it's not that exactly.

What is it?

I believe she's trying to... Rachel,
who's here?

It's the telephone guy.

The telephone guy?

What's he doing here?

I don't know. I think he was about to
tell me.

Is there something I can help you with,
sir?

Two of you sisters?

Yeah.

Excuse me, but is there something we can
do for you?

Okay, here it is.

Today, when I was working on one of the
wires, I accidentally patched

into one of your conversations.

Now, I can't tell from your voices which
one it was, but whichever one it was

hired an assassin to kill the other.

Are you saying that me or my sister
hired someone to kill the other one?

Look, this is ridiculous.

Look, I don't know what would motivate
you to concoct such a story, Mr.

Bruce, but I think I've heard quite
enough.

Please, you must believe me.

The only thing I must do is ask you to
leave.

Look, I know I must look stupid and
sound really crazy, but I used to be

a cop, and I know what I heard.

This is my phone number, and hopefully
one of you will discover the truth

it's too late.

I'm sorry if I bothered you.

I cannot believe you, Rachel.

Putting a complete stranger into the
house like this?

He's gotten into you. I thought he was
cute.

So, did you really hire someone to kill
me?

Look, keep opening the door like that to
strangers and maybe I will.

Slow down, buddy.

Hey, fuck off, buddy.

Hey, Mark.

Hello there, cutie pie.

Who's your big sister?

She's in her bedroom.

Thanks.

Oh, that guy who just left?

Was he here to see you?

No.

I didn't think so, thanks.

Stopped by tonight.

How you doing, honey?

Hey.

Who's the guy that just left?

What guy?

Oh, come on, don't play dumb, Susan. I
mean, I almost ran the bastard over in

the driveway. Who's this guy?

The phone guy?

Look, he's just some lunatic that Rachel
thinks is trying to kill me.

Why don't you sleep with him?

Do I look like I just had sex, Mark?

No, but you would.

Not the mood!

I'll get you in the mood.

I'm going to do that little thing you
like, okay?

You want it fast or slow?

I was right, wasn't I? You went over
there and they didn't want to hear it.

I felt so stupid.

Okay, let's say it was real.

And that one of these sisters, what are
their names again?

Susan, Rachel.

Okay, let's just say Susan or Rachel
hired an assassin to kill the other one.

Well, now that you've gone over there
and tipped them off, don't you think

whoever did it would call it quits?

Yeah, I would hope so.

Can I get either of you guys anything
else?

I'm good, Johnny.

That's your opinion.

I'll take another one and get him one,
too. It's on me.

Thanks.

Look, you thought you were doing the
right thing.

My best advice?

Just let it go.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Rachel. Rachel Sternum.

Listen, I hate saying this, but I think
you might be right about my sister.

I have my own line. Call me.

555 -9827.

Mr. Johnson, this is Susan Sternum.

I'm afraid there might be some truth to
what you said about my sister.

Please call me back at 555 -3675.

Thanks.

Man, this is not going to be easy.

Rachel,

this is a really nice place.

Yeah, I know. I come here all the time.

I love Italian food.

I hope you can recommend something
that's Korean.

Oh, I can.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming, Bruce.

Oh, it's no problem.

I was so scared I couldn't even sleep
last night.

Yeah, I can understand that.

Just the thought that my sister would
want to have me killed.

It's so hard to believe.

That's what the cops said.

You went to the cops?

I called them as soon as I heard the
phone call.

And what'd they say?

Well, they didn't believe me. They
thought I heard some kind of prank and,

forget all about it.

But you didn't.

You knew it was real.

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Are you ready to order?

Be my guest.

We'll have two linguine with clams,
please, and a white sauce.

Very good. Thank you.

You know, Rachel, this really isn't my
type of place.

Me neither.

I'm the type that likes onion rings and
hot dogs.

Oh, yeah?

Mustard, relish, onion?

Yeah, those are the best.

Hey, I know this great park down in
Studio City. It has the best hot dog

in this town.

What's wrong?

Susan and I used to always go to the
park when we were kids.

How could she do this?

I mean, what have I done to her?

So what do you think I should do now?

Honestly? Well, I think you should go to
the police and demand they protect you.

I can't do that.

I only have your word that you heard it.

And you said they didn't even believe
you.

Well, then your only other option is to
leave town.

Actually, that's not even an option.

Rachel, I don't think you understand
what we're talking about.

We are talking about your life here.

Look, if I leave, she'll think I believe
you.

Do you?

I don't want to, but I do.

Hey, Mark. Hey, Rachel.

Hey, is your sister home?

She's out.

Oh, that's too bad.

Doesn't have to be.

Last thing I need is your sister to find
out about us, okay?

Yeah, but she said she wouldn't be back
all night.

You are a very naughty girl.

Yeah, but I sure am good at it.

Oh,

I know you are.

Give me all your money.

Ooh, Elliot Ness, chill out.

Don't ever do that again.

I'm sorry, man.

How the hell did you know I was here?

Well, I still have a few friends down at
the station.

Yeah, you got me doing this no -brainer
stakeout.

So you came to me for advice.

What should I look for?

You know, inconsistencies like, well, in
this case, if there's no evidence,

you're going to have to rely on your
instincts.

Instincts? Yeah, well, like what
instincts?

If I had any of those, I wouldn't have
gotten myself kicked off the force in

first place.

Look, it wasn't your lack of instincts
that got you kicked out, and you know

Jesus, Susan.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk.

Can I get you something to drink?

Beer will be fine.

All right. One beer coming up.

Here's your beer.

You seem a little edgy.

No, not really.

But I thought you wanted to talk.

It's not so much I needed to talk.
It's... It's just...

I can't be alone right now.

Well, where's your boyfriend?

He's busy.

Besides, he's a jerk anyway.

Well, if he's a jerk, then why are you
with him?

Sometimes you just get stuck.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

So, um, do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Well, I was married once, but... But
what?

Why are you staring at me?

You seem a little uptight.

It's been a long day and I'm tired.

Oh, yeah?

Tired of what?

Tired of everything.

Tired of having to be so strong all the
time.

Tired of having to make everything all
right.

And I'm tired of forgiving them.

Who's them?

Everyone.

Everyone I've ever known's hurt me.

Susan, why did you really come over
here?

What do you mean?

I mean you're not acting like the person
I first met.

The Susan I first met?

Very cold, very hard.

Now you're emotional and sensitive.

What are you trying to prove?

I'm not trying to prove anything.

You didn't come over here for a beer,
Susan.

Do you want to know the truth? Yeah.

The truth is, I was feeling lost, and
for one brief moment, I thought maybe

were what I was trying to find.

But now I can see I was wrong.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

I'm sorry I was so hard on you.

Just that I cannot afford to get
involved right now.

I still don't know who to trust.

I didn't come here for you to trust me.

Or so we could get involved.

I just wanted to disappear for a while.

And I thought I could do that with you.

You're right.

It doesn't have to be right.

It just has to be.

going to work today?

No.

I took the week off. What are you doing
here?

I just figured I was on for an extra day
at the bus.

So I thought I'd come over here and see
what's going on with your investigation.

I know who did it.

You do?

Mm -hmm.

Susan.

How do you know that?

Well, yesterday.

You told me to go on my instincts?

And my instincts are telling me it is
Susan.

Well, it's not that I don't believe you.

I think you might be drawing your
conclusions a little too fast.

Well, maybe you're right.

But if you don't believe me, then you go
down there and interview her yourself.

Fine. I'll do it.

Good.

So who was over here last night?

Makes you think anyone was sober.

Come on, Bruce, I've never known you to
drink only half a beer, much less two of

them.

Let's just say I was doing my homework.

Okay, have it your way.

Just promise me one thing.

You're being careful.

Yes, Dad.

Will, you let me know what you have to
say, okay?

Here we go.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

At least now I know he's a bad shot.

I don't think that was meant to be a
hit. I think somebody wants you to go

to working for the phone company in a
real bad way.

Well, he's going to have to try a hell
of a lot harder.

Look, why don't you get out of this
while you can?

Hey, don't worry about me.

All right?

You know what I'm doing.

Oh.

Oops.

Okay, I do that all the time.

I guess that's the price you pay for
adding all those fixings.

That sounds like something Susan would
say.

You really don't like your sister, do
you?

Are you kidding? I love her to death.

She's the one who hates me.

George used to have to take care of me
when we were little.

Once we got older, she hated that I
wanted to be my own person.

She always tried so hard to make me just
like her.

do everything just like her.

She always used to make me eat mine just
like she ate hers.

In a ladylike sort of fashion.

How about your sister didn't like hot
dogs?

Are you kidding? She loved them.

Why do you two girls even live together?

We have to live together.

Why's that?

I don't want to talk about my sister
anymore.

Rachel, there is no us.

There could be, though.

Look, my only concern is making sure you
stay alive.

If you want to be able to prove that
your sister hired that killer, you've

to help me on this.

You got it?

Listen, there's a lot you don't know
about me, Bruce.

Then tell me.

I haven't exactly had a normal life.

You and a million other people.

Yeah, but see, ever since our parents
died,

my sisters had to be the responsible
ones.

And, well, I wasn't.

So what are you saying, Rachel?

I've done a lot of things in my life
that I regret.

Bad things that hurt the people that
were closest to me.

Especially Susan.

Look. I don't care what you did to your
sister before.

Nothing you could have done warrants
what she's trying to do to you right

Maybe life doesn't mean anything to me.

I mean, what do I really have to live
for anyway?

Well, I want you to live.

Who knows?

When this is all over, maybe we can sit
down and talk about us.

Okay?

May I help you?

You must be Susan.

And you are?

My name's Detective Walker.

I'm a friend of Bruce's.

How do I know that?

Nice place.

Thanks, we like it.

Susan, I'm not here officially. This is
just a favor for Bruce, all right?

I see.

But if you discover anything, you'll
report it to your department, right?

Of course.

Look, I'm sorry if I seemed surprised
when you first came up, but Bruce didn't

tell me you were coming.

I know it's better that way for
authenticity.

You understand.

What, are you insinuating I have some
reason to lie?

Look, I'm sorry if I come off a little
abrasive.

It kind of goes with the territory.

It's okay.

I understand.

Tell me, why would Rachel want to kill
you?

Look, I've been through this with Bruce.
How am I supposed to know?

I'm just searching for a motive, Susan.

I'm looking for something that you might
have that your sister wants bad enough

to kill you for it.

I don't know. I can't think of anything.

What did you say you did for a living?

I didn't.

Will you?

I'm in real estate.

You're a broker.

Yes.

Do you make a lot of money?

I do all right.

If you died, who'd get your money?

What does your sister do for a living?

She's a dancer.

Really? Where?

Um, Jim's Tavern.

It's a strip club.

Does that bother you?

Of course it does.

Look, I did whatever I could so she
could be whatever she wanted to.

Whatever she wanted or whatever you
wanted?

Look, I've lived most of my life for
her, and all she's done is hurt me.

And now with this murder bullshit?

God only knows what she's going to think
of next.

You know, there's something you're not
telling me.

Look, if there's something I'm not
telling you, it's because you're not

the right questions.

Now, if you'll excuse me, Detective,
I'll show you to the door.

Tell you what, why don't you give me a
call when you care to tell me what's

really going on?

Look, Detective, it's late and I really
have to go to work.

Okay. I've heard just about enough of
this.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude, but
I just... Nice gun.

I'm sorry. I thought she might be
somewhere else.

That's wet.

Hi, I'm Rachel.

I'm Detective Walker.

I'm Bruce's friend.

Oh, yeah, sure.

So what can we do for you, Detective?

Well, actually, I was just finishing up
with your sister.

Maybe I can ask you some questions.

Sure, but you'll have to do it while I'm
at work.

You call that work?

You'll have to excuse my sister.

She isn't exactly approved.

Rachel, look, you don't need to
sugarcoat it. I've told the detective

what I think of you.

Now, if you'll excuse me, detective,
I've got to go to my real job.

We'll all be in touch. I'm sure you
will.

I'm really sorry about that.

Sometimes we act really normal.

Sometimes we act like that.

Well, that's just how it is.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I just wish things could be different.

Well, if Bruce and I don't get to the
bottom of this real soon, they just

be.

I love it when you cops talk like that.

So...

Jimmy Cagney.

Well, look, I don't want you to be late
for work.

If you like, you can follow me over and
interview me there.

That sounds good.

Okay, let me change real fast, and then
we can go.

Bring it.

What the...

Help, Dad?

You made a big mistake now, Chief. Come
on.

This is Mark, Susan's boyfriend.

Mark, this is Roy. He's a detective.

I'm sorry, mister. I thought you were
someone else. Yeah, I don't think you're

sorry, okay?

Just get away from me, all right, cop?
You're going to lose your badge for

Yeah, I said I was sorry. Yeah.

Stay away from me, all right?

Don't worry about it, Roy.

Mark's all steam.

He'll cool down in a couple of minutes
and forget about the whole thing.

Yeah, I'm sure he will.

So how'd it go with Bruce last night?

Last night?

I didn't see him last night. I saw him
this morning.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot.

So you're a dancer, huh?

Pays the bills.

Do you have a lot of bills?

The usual ones. Car, insurance, credit
cards.

What about your sister?

Does she have a lot of bills?

I'm not sure. We don't really talk about
money that often.

So how do you know Bruce?

He was married to my wife's sister.

You're married?

Yeah.

That's sweet.

It must get hard sometimes.

What? Marriage?

Yeah. Did you ever cheat on your wife?

Only at cards.

Did you ever fantasize about other
women?

I thought I was supposed to be asking
the questions here.

You are.

Are you trying to seduce me?

No.

I'm just trying to turn you on.

If I were trying to seduce you, you
wouldn't know it.

Well, I should probably be going now.

I still have a lot of work to do.

Thanks again, Roy.

Don't mention it.

You just watch your back, okay?

Sure.

This is

Detective

Walker. Go ahead, Detective.

Yeah, I need a background check. We're
on a Susan Sternum ASAP.

Better go ahead and rumble on a Rachel
sternum, too. Thanks Working

a little late aren't we?

Hi, honey I'm sorry. Did you miss me?

Well Only been a couple of hours a
couple of hours isn't enough time to

Okay fine. I missed you

You seem like you're in a bit of a mood
tonight.

What were you up to this afternoon?

I went to interview those two sisters
Bruce was talking about.

Really? And how did that go?

I don't know.

There's something about the younger
sister.

She's just so calm and carefree.

You know, she's just not scared.

Well, I certainly trust your instincts
of Bruce's. God knows he's never been

able to pick the right women.

Are you forgetting he was married to
your sister?

No, I'm not. I mean...

You know how I feel about my sister.

She's crazy.

Granted, she's not as crazy as these two
women Bruce is dealing with now, but

she's still crazy.

In fact, I think that's what he likes.

That's what turns him on.

So based on what I've told you about
that case, what do you think's going on?

Well, let's see.

You've got these two sisters who
obviously already hate each other, but

reason they've stuck it out with each
other all these years.

My guess is it can only be one of two
things, jealousy or money.

Yeah, I thought about both of those.

Susan's got a boyfriend.

He's a real piece of work.

I can't imagine either of them wanting
to be jealous enough to kill over him.

Well, what about money?

I'm still looking into that. I got the
guys around here running background

checks on both of them.

Well, it sounds like an awful lot of
work for someone who isn't really even

the case.

Yeah, but it's too late to drop out now.

I think Bruce is right. I think there is
something going on over there.

Well, I hope Bruce doesn't get hurt from
this.

What's all this sudden concern for
Bruce?

Since when did you start caring about
his feelings?

And more importantly, how do you know
what turned him on?

Are you forgetting that he was married
to my sister?

I know everything about that guy.

I don't think I like you knowing what
turns my friends on.

Why? My sister knows what turns you on.

Oh, yeah? How would she know that if you
don't even know?

Oh, I don't, do I?

Do I look turned on to you?

Not yet.

But you will.

I've done work late before, but he asked
me in a different tone.

He was really close to me. Oh, my God.

I got so embarrassed.

Hey, Bruce.

How's it going?

Oh, okay. Just thinking.

What can I get for you, Roy?

How about the usual? Make it a double.

Your usual is a double.

Sorry I'm late. I had something come up
at the office.

Yeah, I bet.

Don't sweat it.

So have you got anything new?

No. I met with Rachel.

She seems a little, uh, tweaked.

I know. I was still with Susan when she
got back.

It's like fire and ice.

But am I right? Is it Susan?

It's tough to say.

But I ran background checks on both of
them.

Well, come on, what do you got?

First off, they're both broke.

Neither one of them has a penny to their
name.

You've got to be kidding me.

No, no.

Apparently, Susan was doing real well
making a lot of money in the real estate

market.

But now she's barely able to make her
car payments.

Yeah, but how about Rachel? Come on,
she's a dancer. She's got to be making

money. Yeah, she does.

At least according to the people she
works with. You know, Rachel's not this

sweet little innocent thing you think
she is.

She's got a long rap sheet.

She's always been associated with bad
people.

My guess is she's blowing her money on
drugs.

out man drugs she's the type i still say
it's susan and it may very well be but

you can't discount the fact that
rachel's a tough little lady i know she

about her past but that doesn't mean we
accuse rachel of plotting a murder just

because of what she did when she was
growing up well just like you can't

susan just because she's a bitch man
this is gonna be difficult

Thank you.

Alright.

What do we have here?

Hey, Bruce. Hey.

What are you doing here?

I stopped by to see you. I checked
around the pool. You weren't there.

Well, do you want to come in?

Yeah, sure.

So I met your friend Roy yesterday.

It's really nice.

Yeah, he said he liked you too.

So have you found anything out about my
sister?

No, not really, but we're getting
closer.

That's good.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, shoot.

Why don't you try to sleep with me?

Excuse me?

Well, I mean, most guys try to sleep
with me as soon as they meet me.

But you, you're different.

How come?

I just, um...

Did you sleep with my sister?

Your sister and I have about as much in
common as a cat and a dog.

I like that.

I wanted to give you a reason to like me
first before I did anything.

Give me a reason?

Yeah, you know, solve this whole thing
for you.

Come in like Prince Charming or
something.

That way you'd fall in love with me.

What if I already was in love with you?

I'd say I wouldn't believe you.

Thank you.

Rachel, you are very, very special.

Honey, then... You bet.

Rachel!

Sounds like time for a beer.

Oh, may not again.

Who are you, another cop?

Oh, I know you're the chief of
repairmen, right?

Hey, chief, Mr. Plathop, I'm talking to
you.

Who are you?

I'm your last memory.

You'd better go.

You had a big mouth, kid.

What's happened?

What is this?

It's the aunt's last will and testament.
I found it in the house.

We have our motive, Roy.

We've got our motive.

I don't get it. How?

Well, it's one of those conditional type
wills. You know, where the benefactors

have to do certain things before they
can collect all the dough.

Okay. Well, the house the sisters live
in, they don't own it.

It's the aunt's. She left it to them
with a large sum of money.

The sisters have to do either of two
things.

Live in that house together for five
more years or one of them has to die.

How much money are we talking about?

Over $3 million.

Sounds like a motive to me.

I'll get right on it. Thanks a lot, Roy.

Yeah, Charlie, get me Susan Sterneman
and Zeno.

Thanks.

Who is this?

Detective Jackson.

Who's this?

Jackson, what are you doing here? This
is Roy.

There's been a murder.

I don't know. He doesn't have any ID on
him. He?

He as in him as in the guy who got
killed?

The victim's a guy?

Well, from my angle, it looks like a
guy.

But if you don't believe me, then why
don't you drop in, pull down his pants,

take a good hard look, and tell me what
you think.

I'm on my way.

I want one right across here.

Jackson and Cy, they're going to bring
the body back real soon. So while we're

going to have to leave that vehicle,
call the station and let them know it's

gone. Okay.

Roy, I'm glad you're here.

We found out the victim's name. It was
Mark Willis. Susan Stern's boyfriend?

How did you know?

It's a long story right now. It's not
worth telling. How are the women holding

up?

Crazy. They've been fighting ever since
they got here.

Let's go outside and talk.

I hope you're happy.

Don't try and blame me for this, Susan.

This is your fault and you know it.

What did I ever do to deserve this?

Was I that bad a sister?

That's just it, Susan.

You were never bad.

You never made mistakes.

I can never be as good as you.

Nobody ever loved me the way they loved
you.

You're crazy.

You're never going to get away with
this.

Will you give me a minute with her?

All right, ladies, I'm only going to ask
once.

I want to know who did this.

And I want to know where I can find him
right now.

Tell him, Rachel.

Tell him what, Susan?

You're the one.

Why don't you just confess?

You little bitch, I'm going to kill you!

That's enough.

Jackson, I'm going to take Susan to the
library for questioning.

Keep an eye on this one for me.

Okay.

I just can't believe it.

I don't believe this is happening.

It's not any planet, is it?

How can you be so blind?

When are you going to realize I had
nothing to do with this? Susan, I know

about the will.

Is that what you think this is all
about?

The money and the will?

Roy, she got away.

I was filling out the coroner's report
and I turned around and she was gone.

Great, Jackson. Nice move.

Rachel, wait.

I'm going to Bruce's. I don't feel safe
here anymore.

Damn.

I've been going about this all wrong,
haven't I?

Well, finally, the first question I
would ask is, why would I do it?

No, I don't like that question. I
already know why you would do it. I want

know why you think Rachel did it.

Look, do you remember the first time we
met?

Yeah. Do you remember how hesitant I was
to let you in at first?

Yeah.

That was because I didn't know if you
were the killer.

So what's your point?

Do you remember when I was showing you
out and Rachel came up?

Right.

You had a gun pointed on her. I mean,
she...

She wasn't even scared.

Not for a second.

I mean, don't you think that was odd?

I mean, you have a gun right in her face
and she doesn't even flinch.

I don't get it.

Why should she be afraid of a cop?

No, she didn't know I was a cop.

Well, if he knew, I could have been the
killer.

Unless she already knew who the killer
was.

God, Bruce.

I gotta go.

Where?

My buddy's in trouble. Stay with her.

Susan, I'm really sorry.

You're welcome. What's your ride? I got
a friend in trouble.

Rachel, what's wrong?

Mark's dead.

Mark? Susan's boyfriend.

He's dead.

Someone killed him in our house.

Oh, my God. Come on in.

I'm so scared, Bruce.

Maybe I should call Roy.

No, he already knows.

He was questioning Susan when I left.

I knew it was her.

Please, Bruce, come and hold me.

Come on. Sit down.

How could she do it?

How could she hire someone for $30 ,000
to have me killed?

How much did you say it cost?

$30 ,000.

How'd you know that?

I don't know.

I think that's what you told me you
heard on the phone.

Didn't you?

No.

No, I didn't.

I never mentioned the price to anyone.

The only ones who knew?

Me, the killer, and the person who hired
him.

Don't be silly, Bruce.

You must have told me and you just don't
remember.

How else would I know?

Came here to kill me, didn't you,
Rachel?

I'm sorry, Bruce.

I really am.

But I can't have anyone knowing what I
did.

You understand, don't you?

Yeah.

When am I going to learn?

What do you mean?

I always fall for the crazies. I'm not
crazy!

Oh, you're not?

You just hired someone to kill your
sister, and now... You're about to kill

only man who's ever believed in you.

You don't understand.

All those years of being second best.

All those years living in her shadow.

Rachel, please.

Trust me.

You need some help.

And I can give you that help.

There's no solution to the problem.

I have to.

Too late for anything else.

Goodbye, Bruce.

Sorry it had to be you.

It's all right, Ken.

He's got a gun, Roy.

Where is she?

Roy? Roy?

Roy? Yeah?

You okay?

I'm okay.

Just go get her.

You okay?

Yeah, I will be.

Are you okay?

Yeah, but I feel like the world's
biggest idiot.

I'll second that.

Where's Susan?

She's fine. I got a detective watching
her at the house.

I'm going to call over there and make
sure she's okay.

That's a good idea.

Why don't you call me an ambulance?

I think I'm going to heal this up on my
own.

I just called there. Her line is busy.
Something ain't right.

If 911 comes on the line, you tell them
where you are. Are you kidding me? I'm

out of here.

Oh, go ahead.

I'll be fine.

Yeah, I got an officer down.

Detective Roy Walker.

No, I'm Detective Roy Walker.

Don't do it, partner.

You are not getting paid enough to die.

Are you the telephone man I've heard so
much about?

My, my, you've been very busy.

Rachel is dead.

It's over.

So let the lady go.

I can't do that, Mr. Telephone Man. See,
in my profession, once I start a job, I

fade through.

I am telling you, man, there is no way
out of here for you.

Why don't you be a good little boy, huh?

Drop the gun.

Why don't you drop dead?

Bang.

You're dead, kid.
