All right already.

I'm pumped.

What the hell do you want?

Same thing. Anybody comes to this dump once.

Action.

10 -4 -12. Give us 15 minutes.

Hey, baby.

Get in line, pal.

Come here.

What?

What are you, a cop?

Oh, great.

That's just great.

And you want to use your cup, right?

What's the thought?

You know, I just got a 50 -bucket spin, and you can make it standing up.

Oh.

You want to do it in the air?

No.

Good.

My feet are killing me.

It's open.

Well, don't you look special.

Mm -mm -mm.

Glad you like it.

What the hell are you?

Jump bail, I'm taking you.

I'm dressed for this.

You know, you could have made this real easy, man.

Come on. Come on out of there. Let's go.

Now, where in the hell is that?

Seen the Godfather?

Damn.

He really pissed her off.

Okay, honey, the party's over.

Put it down. Now!

I can explain.

Get the wall.

Move!

I'm an ex -cop. The guy jumped bail. I was bringing him in.

Look, do me a favor, will you?

You can take me to my party, get my clothes.

Anything you say.

Well,

what you really mean is that this was the worst date of your entire life,

No, it's not that. It's just that miniature golf is not exactly my style.

Oh. I'd better go.

Hey, don't forget your little troll.

I had to sink a hole in one to win that for you.

Besides, you can look at this and know next time you're getting ready for a

that things can't get any worse.

And it'll bring you good luck.

Good night, Donna.

Thank you.

I don't like to be kept waiting.

I got here just as soon as I could.

Is it that?

If it wasn't, I wouldn't be here.

Yeah, but it is.

The money first.

Pleasure doing business with you On the contrary

Pleasure's

all mine

Tough night, huh, Mase?

As tough as it gets.

Let's see.

One C -37 Magnum.

One brunette wig.

Don't even ask.

Hey, I've been behind this car 18 years. You know what I'm saying?

Look at the ass on that.

I guess if you can't get in their pants, Mase, you just start wearing them.

Huh?

What's your name, kid?

Garcia? Do his new partner?

Yeah.

Do yourself a favor.

Don't turn out like him.

Because then you won't be standing here in front of the whole precinct watching

while a guy in drag cleans your clock.

Goodbye.

Hey,

Max.

That shade orange.

That's your color, babe.

Is that a pencil in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

Shut up.

Sorry to have to put you through this, Mr. Mayor.

I understand. Let's get it over with.

This is your daughter, sir.

Yeah.

Well, cover her up.

How'd that happen?

Definitely strangulation, but we'll have more details after the autopsy, sir.

Oh, there won't be any autopsy.

But this is a homicide, sir, and autopsy's mandatory.

You said there wouldn't be an autopsy.

You start cutting up, my little girl, and you'll wind up in a third -rate

giving inoculations to Cuban refugees.

Do you understand?

has confirmed that a prime suspect in tonight's brutal flaying of the mayor's

daughter, Donna Stiles, was taken into custody only moments ago.

Although not yet releasing the name of the suspect, the spokesperson for the

DA's office...

Okay, it's time to go.

I know.

Not this time. Get out of here.

Where are you taking me?

I'm not taking you anywhere.

Your bail was spoken.

You're a free man.

Financially. Who paid it?

Don't ask me, pal. It's open and closed. We can stay in and go in.

Go in?

Tobin.

Hi, mate.

Well, well, well.

Chief. Oh, excuse me.

Mr. Mayor.

What do you want?

You heard about what happened last night.

Did you tell?

Do you mind if I have a seat?

Yeah, yeah, I do.

All right, I'll get right to the point, then.

I'll be a first.

I need your help, Mace.

You always had a lot of balls.

We know who killed Donna. We've got the murder weapon, the fingerprints.

How'd you get to the point?

This guy was released on bail this morning.

A first -degree murder suspect and on bail? How?

Some bleeding -heart judge.

Probably one you appointed.

I want you to follow this guy, find out everything you can about him, but more

than anything in this world, I don't want him to skip.

You got a whole police force working for you. What do you need me for?

I can't do that. If a cop gets within a hundred feet of this guy, some public

defender's gonna be screaming we violated his civil rights and the whole

gets thrown out of court. You know that.

Oh, yeah, Mr. Mayor.

I know what you're talking about. I know all about being thrown out.

Don't I?

Hey, look, you knew the score. You knew what was going on.

Mace, you're still a loose cannon.

And that's exactly what I need. Somebody that works outside the law.

I'll pay you anything. Cash.

You name me Price.

I don't want your money.

You know what you can do with your money, don't you?

This is not about me and you.

This is about my daughter. Somebody you used to pretend to care about.

Don't you dare put that on me.

Don't you fucking dare.

It's not my problem.

Stas.

I'll do it.

I'm gonna do it for your money.

I'm gonna do it for you.

I'll do it for her.

Okay, good enough.

Now, you understand, of course, the press can't find out about this, so any

contact you have with me, you'll have to be through the deputy mayor.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on in, Bob.

Mace, this is Bob Jenkins.

Anything you want, anything you need, he'll take care of it.

Pleasure to meet you.

He's a good man, Mace.

You can trust him.

I have done a terrible thing.

I've killed another human being and I have decided that I must now take my own

life.

God forgive me.

Signed, Mitch McCollum.

That's my own handwriting.

The great thing about this machine, you've got no electronics to hassle

Just kick -start it.

Detox every time. No problems, no hassle.

Personally, I think you look better in a skirt.

What in the hell are you doing? You made me lose him, numbnuts.

Question is, why you chasing that man for?

He's legally out on bail.

Now, I'm the law, and I want to know what you're up to.

Huh? I mean, what is it, Mace?

You having an affair with that boy?

You switch it and you son of a bitch, baby daughter kept her legs closed a

little too long?

or call me a son of a bitch.

Oh, you broke my nose.

Oh, oh, damn.

What did you do?

I'm placing you under arrest for striking an officer. Oh, damn.

I told you kids don't act like them.

Your time will get you, mate.

Your time will come.

We better get you to a doctor.

Shut up and get in the car.

Hold it right there.

Now, don't do anything stupid.

Just take it easy with that thing, all right?

Who are you?

And why are you trying to kill me? I'm not trying to kill you. I was just going

to follow you. You were chasing me.

You ran.

My house blew up. I didn't have anything to do with that.

All right, now just put the gun down.

Let's talk this thing out.

My name's Mace. I'm a bounty hunter.

A bounty hunter?

I was hired to follow you to make sure you don't jump bail.

By who?

I can't tell you that. You better start telling me something. Look, I hate these

things. I've never fired one before, but I'm pretty damn sure you squeeze a

little trigger there and it makes it work, right? Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Who set me up?

I don't know that you were set up.

You think I did it?

Police think so. I didn't.

Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.

Killing me is not going to prove anything. Now, why don't you just put

down? Let's talk this out. Maybe I can help you.

I don't believe you.

If you didn't do it, then maybe I can help you find out who did.

Now, give me the gun.

I'll give you my word.

What alternative do you have, huh?

I mean, you kill me, they're going to be after you for two murders.

Come on, give me the gun.

You've got one chance to tell me what happened last night.

Just one. Okay, okay. We had one lousy date, and I dropped her off.

Then you went back inside and killed her? No, I didn't. Why?

Why'd you do it? I didn't do it.

Look, she didn't even like me.

I mean, I didn't even get a handshake out of the thing. I dropped her off, I

went home, had a bowl of fruit, Lucas went to bed and got arrested. That's it.

You're either one hell of a liar or one hell of a fool.

How'd you make bail?

I didn't.

And I don't know who did.

Please don't.

What's that for?

Insurance.

Come on, we're going for a little ride. Where?

You'll find out.

But one other thing.

Jesus, that hurt.

Now don't make me chase you again.

Let's go.

Tell me about the date.

Not much to tell, really.

Had a few drinks, played some putt -putt.

She hates putt -putt.

I know that now.

What else?

That's it.

Well, what'd you talk about?

I don't know.

I grew up, went to school.

What'd she talk about?

Not much. I mean, what little bit she said, I literally had to pry it out of

her.

Getting old over here.

Something about a book she was writing.

What about?

I don't know.

Leaves and birds.

Growing up.

What do you think?

I don't think you're allowed to date.

You're not going to just leave me sitting here like this, are you?

Why not?

Because it could be dangerous.

That's why not.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

That's more like it.

See, now we can start trusting each other.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

You son of a bitch.

Don't ever call me a son of a bitch. Why not? Because I love my mother.

Sorry.

Hey, mate. A little early today, ain't it?

I'm not here to drink.

Don't lie to me. I ain't your girlfriend.

Do you want me to twist you on?

No, I don't want to do it.

Make it a double.

That's new talent in there, Joe.

It ain't new.

It just ain't old.

Was he burnt?

Yeah, he was in.

Running off with the mouth about some big bond he had just posted and how much

money he was going to make.

I tell him, if you're making so much friggin' money, why don't you pay off

bar tab I've been holding for three months? That shuts him up quick.

I bet it did.

Shit.

Looking for me?

What are you doing?

I'm eating a sandwich.

How'd you get loose?

Oh, that was easy. Want a bite?

Oh, my God, that's the guy. That's the guy who took my clothes.

Hey, hey, Pam, you're the guy who took my clothes.

He took her clothes?

Shut up. Did you hear me? I want my clothes back. Yeah, yeah, look, just

your name and address and I'll get the stuff to you. You got my skirt, you got

my top, you got my boots, you got my wig, and if you're up here wearing them,

want them back now.

You took her boots and her wig? Shut up. Don't tell me to shut up. Not you, him.

And look, I'm on a case. Give me your name and address and I'll get the stuff

back to you. I don't want to hear that crap.

You took my stuff, you ran off, and you're standing in the middle of the

in my underwear.

Now I want it back.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. Except for the pain.

You were going to leave me back there.

Yeah. And I'm leaving you now.

Get back here.

Kiss my ass.

I'm getting as far away from you two nuts as I can.

Those guys saw you with us.

And now they're going to be after me, too.

Yes.

I don't know what kind of macho bull... Shut up.

If you don't keep quiet, we're going to die.

What is it, Bob?

There's been a shootout on the east side.

Two men are dead.

Apparently your man Mace was involved.

Has he made contact?

No, not yet.

What's on your mind?

Well, I just can't help but feel that involving this character was a very bad

idea.

Objection noted. Anything else?

No, that's all.

Jenkins.

I'm counting on you to see this through.

I understand.

David, I just want you to know how sorry I am about Donna.

Take this credit card.

Go on and get us a room.

Go on. You'll be safe.

Oh, yeah? What if somebody followed us? No one. They didn't.

How do you know?

Because that's what I do for a living. Now go. Go on.

Let's find her.

It was easy. I just said, follow that car.

I always wanted to do that.

So that's what you do for a living, huh?

Well, I feel safe.

Did I tell you about running off?

What?

Oh, hey, listen.

People shoot at me.

I run.

Well, maybe I didn't make myself clear.

Now listen, I owe you one already.

Let's not push this.

Look after her.

Where are you going?

Play a little baseball.

Do you realize what you've done?

You jeopardize the entire operation.

But when I seen him hook up with Mace, I figured I'd make a move.

In broad daylight?

On a public street?

You do want that promotion, do you not?

Yes, sir, I do.

Then you do exactly as we discussed.

Don't think.

Just do.

Yes, sir.

Do not fail again.

Your death would be a great loss to the department.

You do understand.

No, I don't. I don't understand any of it.

Mace was right about one thing.

I'm a lousy date.

My last girlfriend ran all my credit cards up to the limit and then she left

town.

My car.

But I'm getting better at it.

This time it only took one date to ruin my life.

You're being a little hard on yourself, don't you think?

Yeah.

Maybe. I don't know.

I should have never come to New Orleans.

So why did you?

Get away?

How about you?

Oh, I just got tangled up with the wrong guy.

The druggie.

Before I knew it, I was out on the street, supporting his habit.

He said he was going to kick it, and that we'd move to California.

What happened?

He died.

Sorry.

Don't be.

I knew we weren't going anywhere.

I guess I am.

Hey, Mace.

Long time no see.

So what's with the bat?

You posted Vaughn for Mitch McCullum.

Who put up the money?

Come on, Mace. You know I can't tell you that.

It's confidential.

Put up the money.

Calm down, all right? Calm down.

Jesus Christ!

That thing cost me two grand!

Two grand!

Fail was one million dollars.

Somebody had to put up a hundred large cash.

Who?

Give me a break, will you, man?

All right, all right.

His name was John Smith.

My phone.

You broke my friggin' telephone.

I'll crack your head open like an egg shell, Bernie. I swear to God I will.

That's all I know.

He signed the paperwork.

John Swift. It's in my file. You can see for yourself.

Give me the file.

It's a mess.

What up, brother?

Great. This is all I need.

What's the matter? You're not happy to see me?

Go ask someone else, will you, Atkins? I already had my turn today.

What do you want, Bernie?

He wanted to know who put up the money for McCollum.

He took the file.

Gave him the file?

Look at this place.

What choice did I have?

You break it up with this hero?

No. He did it with a fucking whipple back.

We're going nice.

A little too far this time, aren't we?

Who is it?

Landshark.

Open up.

Come on, open the door.

Burgers and beer. You might be hungry.

So you, uh, go out, you kill a guy, and then you... Stop off

for a hamburger.

What are you talking about?

The bondsman.

That's where you were, isn't it?

Yeah.

Picked up your file. How'd you know that?

The whole town knows it. He's dead.

Dead? Dead.

Beaten to death.

With a baseball bat.

Okay.

I'm going to say this once.

I didn't do it.

Why are you involved in this?

Now, come on, tell me why. I want to know. There are people out there trying

kill me. For all I know, you're one of them.

If I was, you'd be dead.

That's not good enough.

What are you doing?

Calling the cops.

Sit down now.

What are you going to do, kill me?

Well, how about I just kick your fucking ass?

If you guys are both innocent, then you need each other to figure it out.

And if not, for Christ's sake, kill each other!

Save the taxpayer some money, and let me get the hell out of here!

All right.

Short and sweet.

When Stiles was chief of police and running for mayor, he had a few

his closet.

So, uh, I played undertaker.

Took the heat for him.

Even Donna didn't know about it, so, uh, I lost my job and my girl and one pop.

You were in love with her.

It's your bail file.

Take a look at it.

See any names in there you recognize?

Yeah.

Yours.

I'm beginning to understand how Lee Harvey Oswald felt.

So what are you going to do now?

I don't know.

I'll think of something.

Meanwhile, I suggest we get some rest.

Something tells me we're going to need it.

We'll be right next door.

Hey.

What's wrong?

Somebody's got to keep watch.

Hey, man. Pretty nice ride.

Well, thank you. Thank you. I won it. Let's make a deal.

Want to buy it? Sure.

I'll give you $138 for your keys and the wallet.

You drive a hard bargain.

You're dead, man.

Hey!

Damn.

Where'd you learn to do that?

Bruce Lee?

You knew Bruce Lee?

Saw his movies?

Mace. Hey.

Thought maybe you could use a little, uh...

Look,

I know what you're thinking.

That's not what it is.

Well, what you and I did, that was just sex.

And this is different.

I kind of like this guy.

Good.

Don't sweat it.

Metaray Motel, Canal Street.

First thing in the morning.

I'll be there.

I'll look forward to it.

Get up. Let's move. Come on.

Shut up. Get dressed. All right, all right, all right. Just relax. No, hey,

hey, hey. Just... Let's go.

Got you there, asshole.

Good game.

Come on, Ruffalo.

Slow.

Oh, yeah.

Give me that.

Let's go. Move.

So I call Jenkins and you show up.

Don't you be smart.

Drop a dime on him now.

You can still walk out of there smelling semi -clean.

You know what the problem is?

I'm going to miss killing you.

There he goes again.

Your mouth keeps right in check. Your ass can't catch.

He's biased, don't he?

Put this side thing in his car.

Don't forget his car, too.

Bennett.

Make the call to Jenkins.

Shouldn't we wait until the job's done?

Make the call.

Good morning, David.

What the hell are you doing?

I have some news for you, sir.

I don't think I like the tone of your voice.

Sit down, David.

This better be good.

Oh, it is.

It is good. In fact, it's very, very good.

Get on with it, then.

Were you aware of the fact that your daughter was writing a book?

Well, yes, she mentioned it on occasion.

Why?

Do you have any idea what this book was to be about?

No, not really.

One chapter in particular mentions something having to do with you and her.

A chapter entitled... Incest.

What?

Insist. You're crazy. My daughter would never say that.

I know.

I had to write it myself.

The only copy I might have.

Your daughter.

My daughter!

Sit down, baby.

Sit down.

Why?

Next spring, you're going to begin your campaign as governor.

And I plan to be on that ticket.

Only this time, I'm going to be on the top of the ticket.

You killed her for my office.

Do you really think that I would waste my career playing second fiddle to you?

Do you?

Shelley, I want to plan a press conference for the mayor.

Two o 'clock tomorrow afternoon? Let me check.

Two o 'clock good for you?

That'll be fine, Jeremy.

Thank you.

Now, at that press conference, David, you will announce to the press that

due to the untimely death of your daughter, you are going to resign your

mayor.

Now, if you fail to comply, the book will be released to the press and the

public. I think I get the picture, Jenkins.

I thought you might.

Come on, come on, come on. Out, out, out. Come on.

All right, everybody spread out. Now you take them under there. Come on, come

on, come on.

You over there Let

me guess you shoot them with my gun

blame it on me and then you shoot me with your gun how about that

Why

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You said you just wanted a question.

Shut up, Garcia.

No, no, no, no. You didn't say anything about killing anybody.

Well, welcome to the real world.

Now, which one of y 'all wants a fair fight?

It's my choice.

What?

Lower the gun.

I guarantee you don't know what you're doing.

I'm gonna shoot.

And I mean that.

Get out of here.

Come on, run!

Now that's more like it.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

I really, uh... It's okay, I understand.

I just didn't let you kill those people.

I couldn't.

I understand.

What do you think?

Learn real fast.

Thank you.

Well, we can't just sit here. We've got to do something.

Like what?

Like anything. I don't know. Give me help.

From whom?

We don't have any proof. We just have more bodies.

Come on. We've got to get out of here.

Come on.

You used to work here?

Hey, look, I'm hanging out with a guy who's wanted for murder, and I'm not

complaining, all right?

You're not.

Want a drink?

No.

Listen, I've got some other stuff to do.

As much as I hate to admit that I'm ready to run off with another guy again,

really think we should just get on a bus and get the hell out of this city.

But good with that.

Still be wanted for murder.

But you won't be dead.

Which one of those do you like better?

One down, two to go.

I think we're in trouble.

Get him up.

Nice gun, huh?

You better not take a chance on me, boy.

Well, it's never too late.

Damn good.

I thought you were dead.

I jumped.

You could have gotten here a little sooner.

Give me a drink, Joe. Single or double? Both.

It's on the house.

Sign my cash this boy's check.

They are.

Now, now.

Well, what's up?

You're going to tell me who you're working for.

This still will be the last thing you think, you understand me? Uh -huh. Huh?

-huh.

Thank you.

Debbie and Mary Jenkins.

Who else?

Who else? Him. It's all him. Just him.

Come back.

Come on. We've got work to do.

Hey!

Mate!

Hey, mate!

Come on out, boy!

Come on out, huh?

Face me like a man!

Will you stay up?

Hey, mate!

You don't come out now, I'll kill them both!

I'm not lying!

He was a coward. Come on!

It's got to hurt.

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the mayor of our

fair city, the Honorable David Stiles.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

It is with deep regret that I stand before you today to make an announcement

that will no doubt come as a shock to you as well as my loyal constituents.

May I direct your attention to my deputy mayor, Mr. Robert Jenkins.

This man is responsible for my daughter's murder.

Since his daughter's death, the mayor's been under a great deal of stress.

The truth of the matter is, he had her killed.

And I have absolute proof.

I don't think so.

Hackens talk.

You're finished, Jenkins.

Just burn up, Mace.

You got nowhere to run, Jenkins.

Drop the gun or he's a dead man.

Shoot him!

Drop it or I'll kill him.

Go ahead, kill him. I don't give a shit.

Then I'll kill you.

Now drop it or the next one's in his head.

All right, what now?

I want a chopper here and I want it in ten minutes.

If anybody else comes through that door between now and then, he is a dead man,

you understand?

Take me to the Bahamas.

It's your thing, asshole.

What are you going to do, puke me?

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell are you going to do?

I like to play a little game called chicken.

Trouble is, I never was very good at it.

So, I guess you win.

Ciao.

That does it.

This is it.

I'm going to miss you.

Remember, we'll always have Paris.

Now that the mayor's kind of straightened things out for you, if he

your job back in the forest, you're going to take him up on it?

I wouldn't count on it.

Let's go.

Good luck in California.

If you guys get any trouble, don't call me. Yeah, we'll send you a postcard.

Don't make it.

What was that all about?

I owed you one.

Remember? Why don't we just call it even?

Good deal.

You take care of yourself.

Get out of here, you wacky kid, you.
