Original subtitles

Define violence.

What?

Violence. Define it.

I don't know. Violence?

You're makinga movie about it.

Shouldn't you knowwhat it is?

Maybe we should just get ready.

I'm ready.

Here we go.

Try and define it.

In my line of work,

if you don't knowwhat something really is,

instead ofwhat it looks like,

you don't mess with it,

or you couldget yourself killed.

Ah! Aah!

And cut!

Beautiful. I think we got it.

No, no. We got a problem down here.

Oh, boy. Get the paramedicsdown here immediately.

You're ok.

No. We havean accident.

Something about that day

reminded me of when I was a kid.

We lived by the sea, tiny town,

lots of fishing boats,

one movie theater.

My brother fished.

I watched movies.

They got me wondering what we'd do

if we were ever attacked.

We suddenly seemed so vulnerable

to killer sharks, nuclear submarines,

an alien invasion.

The enemy could come from anywhere...

the land, the water, the sky, the Chinese.

You couldn't trust any of them anymore.

Yeah, Brian.

Mike, yeah. I've gonethrough the whole thing.

There's absolutelynothing you can do.

You're telling me

you couldn't find one loophole?

I went over itall night.

Who wrote that contract, Brian?

Look, I cancall Tokyo for you.

No.

Ok.

Guess I've been kind of edgy

ever since...

Looking over my shoulder...

Always ready for that sudden attack.

Claire, go ahead.

Welcome back. How was your flight?

Uh...

Oshima calledfrom Tokyo.

She said the 3 millionwon't be in the account

till Friday noonour time.

The studio said they're onlyreleasing the video in June.

You can sue them.

Brian doesn't thinkyou'll win.

Yeah. I know he doesn't.

Listen, I don't want you to take any more

of Brian's fucking calls.

Seeds of violencegot through the night shoot,

but, um, there was an accident

with one of the stunts.

Cat... the stunt womanfor Daisy...

got hurtin the explosion.

How is she?

She cut her faceand got banged up,

but she's fine.

Did we get the shot?

Yeah. It looks great. You'll see.

Great.

On the other picture, there was a problem.

The companywas actually...

uh, Claire. Yeah?

I got to put you on hold.

Ok.

Yeah.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

You.

What?

I'm leaving you.

Honey...

I can't getyour attention anymore.

I'm not sure I want it.

Where are you going to go?

Guatemala.

What?

I was thinkingabout Guatemala.

Guatemala? You have a yearning for squalor?

Life.

I have a yearningfor life.

For life.

Christ, not again.

Paige, look, uh...

I'm coming upstairs.

I'm coming in a minute.

I've been waiting for this call.

Yeah.

I've got hiyawaon the line.

All right. Put me through.

It's early morning there.

Look, my highlyoverpaid lawyers

are very confidentwe can win this on 3 counts.

How can this be possible?

I have to check with our New York lawyers.

Be my guest.

This will take time.

You have all day.

You will hear from us.

I look forward to it.

Go ahead, Claire.

Um, six is here.

He wants to know whether you're going to use

his title track for violence.

Yo, Mike. What's up, baby?

How's that view? Look, man.

Look, you know my shit is phat.

It's hot, man, so you going to be using it,

or you going to be losing it?

Go aheadand show me the dailies,

and you can putthe song on over it.

Uh, ok. One more thing.

Someone dumped a 400-page file into your e-mail...

some weird secret FBI file with diagrams.

An FBI filein my e-mail?

Yeah. About some new surveillance system.

That's it? Nothing from the pope?

Ha ha. Check it yourself.

Remember we did research

on high-tech crime for violence?

Anyway, here's the dailies and six's demo track.

You never quite realize

the way things affect you.

When I was a kid, movies scaredthe shit out of me,

so then when I grew up,

I went into the movie business...

Turned what you could call a basic fear of strangers

into a multimillion-dollar enterprise.

After all, paranoia is our number-one export.

Everybody needs an enemy.

It's only now that I've come to understand

that there are no enemies or strangers,

just a strange world.

Morning, guys.

Don't you guys ever sleep?

Hey, ray.

I was wondering, if you're so smart,

why not try getting a license?

You could drive to work.

Oh, and good morningto you, too.

Truth is, I tryto avoid modern technology

whenever I can.

Hey, you still want the tr-5 macros

linked to your base matrix?

Don't you have themrigged up yet?

What have you beendoing all night?

Just teasing. See ya.

Dispatch, this is 2 Mary 19.

We have a visualon suspects.

10-4, 2 Mary 19.

Dispatch, 2 Mary 19.

Suspects are beingquestioned at location.

10-4, 2 Mary 19.

Hey, we'll have another 25 x.R.S going by Friday,

all with the 10-to-500 zooms.

Mmm. Good.

Trying to keep up with you, ray.

You're doing gooddown there.

I'll check inwith you later.

We're here.

No.She did not overrotate.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I see. Yeah.

I talkedto the stunt coordinator

and the insurance guy.

They say the whole thing

can be attributedto our negligence.

She could definitely sueif she wanted to.

Oh, fuck!

You might wantto stop by the hospital

and talk to herbefore the meeting.

Ok. Uh, where is she?

She's right in there.

Wow. Am I delirious,

or is a famous Hollywood producer

coming to visit me?

You're delirious.

Aww.

You're a pro.

And you're brave.

And you're beautiful. What's the catch?

A sick sense of humor.

Mmm. I know about that.

Hey...

I don't have toanswer this.

Please.

Yeah.

Is this a good time, Mike?

No. I'm comingin a minute.

Don't start.

Go on. It's ok.

Hang on.

Mm-hmm.

You're the stuff.

Ok, guys.

Hey.

I wasn't going to sue you anyway.

Get out.

Hang on, Brian.

Claire, call zoltan andhave him screen-test cat

for the partof the sister.

Cat? She's a stunt woman,

not an actress.

Schwarzenegger.

Everybody there? Brian?

Yeah?

You're fired.

What?

Why? Because I don't pay lawyers

to tell me I can't win.

Look, take some time. Wrap it up.

Do me a favor.

Plot your revenge on your own time.

Mike...

let's go.

¿señora?!¡señora!

Mike?

Honey, I'm glad I caught you.

I know we didn't getto talk. I'm sorry.

I madesome reservations at...

Mike, I'm losing you.

Hey! Hey! What the fuckdo you think you're...

hey! Hey! Jesus!

What the fuck do youthink you're... hey! Hey!

Mike?

All right. This is good. Right here.

Kill him.

Kill him.

You kill him.

Aw, man!

Just kill him.

Yeah? You just kill him.

Lowell...

Kill him now.

Shit, thanksfor mentioning my name.

Oh, it don't matter

if I mentioned your stupid inbred name.

He's about to die. Now, shoot him!

You shoot him.

You don't want that Mercedes anymore, huh?

Yeah, I want it.

Well, if we don't kill him,

they probably won't give us the money,

will they?

And they might kill us instead.

Do you understand?

We kill him, we live,

plus Mercedes.

We don't, we die,

minus Mercedes.

You choose.

Lowell...

You got 5 seconds to tell me

what the fuck this is really all about.

5 seconds? I... I'm not sure I can...

3!

Man, I don't know!

I didn't thinkit would be so hard!

Hard? Oh, what the fuck's hard about it?

Bullshit! Two!

Oh, man! No, no! This is it!

It... it's all gone downhill. Don't you see that?

No! One!

No! No! Stop!

Frank, wait! All right!

All right. Fine. I'll tell you.

Uh...

I...

I like him.

I like him.

What? Who?

Him.

His name's Mike Max. Remember?

I was talkingto him in the garage

while I covered him.

You were talking to him?

I'm telling you, he made some good points.

Max? Made good points?

He... he said that we werewasting our talents,

taking risks that werenot necessary for peanuts.

We had the guts andthe brains to kidnap him.

If we did that, thenthere's executive jobs

that we couldmake fortunes in.

You on fucking drugs again?

I'm telling you, he's right.

I mean, th-thisis going nowhere.

He sussed it. This guy's amazing.

Think about now.

You don't wantto kill him.

I don't wantto kill him.

Then maybe there'ssome other way we can enter

the damn 20th centurydriving a Mercedes.

I am not going back to stealing.

Maybe there's some other stuff

we could do.

What other stuff?

I don't know. Something.

Some business.

We could go into business...

Maybe. Maybe... maybe

the entertainment business.

The what?

Now I've fucking heard everything!

Shh! Shh! Keep it down.

First, you talk to the hostage.

Then... then you renege on your part,

and now... now you want to go

into the entertainment business!

What kind of bullshit you been telling him?

It's not bullshit.

He producedyour favorite movie.

It's true.

It happens to be my favorite, too.

In my pocket...

Is my card.

You have your what?

Your... your card? Huh?

You want me to takeyour fucking card?

Here, you dipshit, slimy, no-good little weasel.

Frank, no! No!

Let me give you my business card.

You know whatyou can both do

with your stupid, stinking, fucking

entertainment business?

Jesus, frank! No!

I want to give you...

A million bucks...

In points.

Points?

What the hell's "points" mean?

It means a piece of the profits.

It means a percentage.

Ha ha!

It means percentage!

When's the last time

somebody gave you a percentage?

Shut up, lowell,

or I will torture you.

Never's when.

Never did. Never will.

Come on.

Come here.

One more fucking chirp,

and there's going to be

a percentage of your carcass

all over this hill!

Hi, ray.

Didn't think i'dfind you there so late.

Anyway, I'm finallysending you a cleaning lady...

mathilda. She'll start tomorrow.

She's from Salvador.

She passed security.

Speaks 5 wordsof English... Badly.

Her family was wiped outby the death squads,

except forher little daughter.

They, uh, have youworking late at NASA

every night like this?

Yeah. Um, why don't you, uh...

Why don't you send her over?

Ok.

Get some sleep.

What the fuck?

I don't want to die. I don't want to die.

So dark and emptywith spikes in the air,

and the room so small, it sweats,

but I know it'sno different on the street,

except if you get shot,

be one of themlucky victims you can see.

Drive-by, drive-by. Everybody love to say it,

but when you in that room, you can lie there,

play dead, stand up on your head.

Make no difference. Daddy don't go by.

He comes inside. He comes right in.

After a hard dayat whittier,

he comes all the wayinside that room,

that bed, my pajamas.

He comes all the wayinside my room,

and he don't stop there.

He goes inside my crack, and he don't stop there.

He keeps going, tearing everything apart

while he makesthem sweet loving sounds,

and he don't stop there.

He calls me namesso hard and bad,

it hurts my heart

more than it hurtsmy little crack,

and he don't stop there.

See, he's lookingfor my soul.

Everything they tookfrom him, he want it back.

He's starving for it, starving so bad,

he'd kill me for it,

but I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die,

so I flip the scriptand trick the dick

and make him thinkhe got it all.

I make him thinkhe got it all,

make him thinkhe got it all,

and I slip awayinside my head

and visit the princesso' Beverly Hills.

Hair blond, eyes green,

painting her fingernailslike jellybeans,

vanilla skin shimmering.

She don't even noticewhen I slip inside her soul

like a ghostin crystal palace.

I be all up in there,

eating sugar cakesand bonbons

and... ha ha ha!

She don't even notice mewhile I'm inside her soul.

And I watch her... I'm so close...

whileher fingernails dry,

and the Princess, she don't feel a thing.

She can't smellthe burning knife

that's splitting me in half.

One time, I thinkshe smiled at me.

I think she saved my life.

And now...

It's over...

And daddy start to cry.

We go walking and talkingin MacArthur park,

and I forgive him... Sometimes.

The princesso' Beverly Hills...

I don't need her soulno more.

I give her back to you.

I, uh...

I never knew my father.

The southbound sideof the Santa Ana freeway.

Disabled big rig in the left Lane.

Backed up to the Pasadena freeway.

Montebello, a sig alertfor the 60 eastbound at Finley.

The freeway's still closed because of an accident.

What is the pointof you having a phone

if you don'tanswer it?

What the hell are you doing here?

Yesterday...

10 days...

Any days... you never...

you didn't send... send me my package.

I know, dad.

Well, what should I do?

What is your dad foz for?

Hmm?

Dad...

I wish you'd answerthe phone.

It's important for me

that I knowthat you're ok.

All right, ok,

I'll buy that. I'll buy.

Ok, good. I got your favorite.

Pepperoni.

You... you... you first.

Go ahead.

Mmm.

Oh...

I'm tired.

You know...

I was right, dad.

I was more right

than I could everhave imagined.

Give me a second. I'll call him back.

He already checked it out.

We didn't find nothing.

Oh, man. Jeez.

Yep. They're, uh...

They were blown off,

shotgun, 3 feet.

Unhinged clean at the cortex.

That one... two feet, Max.

Between the cerebellum

and the frontal lobe.

Yeah. What did I say? Headless.

I heard they I.D.Edthe killer.

See, that's where I took the Liberty

of saying only in Hollywood.

Uh-huh.

So the killer's

a deranged hooker?

No. He was a regular guy.

Aha. Just liked to killon the weekends.

Nope. No record of his killing on weekends.

Macdermot, come on. Be a little more creative.

Jeez, there's 2 people dead here.

You guys are a little cynical,

aren't you?

Ok, here's the spin.

The gentleman in question... the apparent killer...

was, in fact, originally the victim.

You got that?

The killer was the kidnap victim.

He was brought here

by these 2 now-headless kidnappers...

a Mr. Lowell Lewis and a Mr. Frank cray...

and during an apparent altercation

between the two of them,

the said victim... Mr. Michael Max,

the guy they carjackedin that Mercedes over there...

freed himselfand blew both their heads off.

Wait a minute. Michael Max...

Mike Max the producer?

Oh, I know who this guy is!

This guy's great. Did you see, uh...

did you see, uh, creative killing?

What is the other one? Odd sudden death.

Did you see odd sudden death?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, he's great. It's very, very... very, uh...

it's, like, very realistic action, murder...

you know, real-crime type stuff.

That his car over there? Let me check out his car.

We have a film buff, macdermot.

I'm Ruby.

I'm Ruby.

Hi. I'm Ruby.

Uh...

What now?

I want to fuck you.

Ha ha!

Can I do my linefirst?

Sure.

Great. What is it?

"I want to fuck you."

Ha ha ha! Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought... good.

Very...

Good.

Uh, ahem.

I don't remember that linefrom Mike's script.

"Hi. I'm Ruby.

I want to fuck you."

"Well, that's very honest.

I want to fuck you, too."

You're joking.

No. This part is bad on purpose,

just like a cheap porno movie,

and then all of sudden,

it gets good. That's the trick.

Oh.

So that's the trick.

That's the trick.

Maybe Mike was right.

She can do it, but...

She doesn't work for another month.

It will be fine.

Are you still rolling?

You must bemathilda.

Sí, gentleman.

Esta es mi hija, florinda.

Man.

Miralo.

Le han pegado.

A ver quien es.

No te arrimes, hombre.

Esta bien. Esta bien.

¿Esta muerto?

No. Esta vivo, pero bien grave.

¿Que hacemos con El?

Hay que llevarle al hospital, ¿no?

¿Al hospital?

No. No. No hospital.

¿por que no lo llevamos a la casa?

Bueno.

No. No, not that house.

Señor.

Hmm?

A su casa.

Se quiere ir con nosotros.

Maybe I jinxed him.

Who?

Weren't you going to ask me about Mike?

I was justbuilding up to it.

Well, you're a pretty slow builder.

I was going tosay, uh...

Here we are... studios.

You're beautiful.

Ha ha!

Movies, murder.

I was going to segueinto it from there.

Crafty.

Med school, clinical psych.

Hmm.

I was always curious

why people dowhat they do.

And now who cares?

You just want to find your man.

No. I want to find my woman, marry, settle down.

I want to find my manfirst, I guess...

Unless my man turns outto be a woman.

Better than if your woman

turns out to be a man, I suppose.

You know,

you have an interesting approach, doc.

We have barely spoken,

and yet I feel I could be

a murder suspect or a fiancee.

Ha ha ha!

Sorry.

No offense.

You could be.

I better get this back to wardrobe. Ahem.

Hey.

You're a cop.

Define violence.

Uh...

Fear, absence of love,

emotional revenge.

Hmm.

What the hell are you doing?

You realize what you've just thrown away?

Little things around here

have big importance.

Do you understand? Big importance.

!¡mucho importante...

importante! Understand?

I can't have people around here

who don't know what's what.

Then again,

I can't afford people who do.

Vete. Que te vayas.

You cannot stay here. Not possible here.

Understand? You must stay outside.

Yes? Thank you.

That girl can never be allowed in here

under any circumstances.

Do you understand that? Never.

Ok.

Here... no.

There... sí.

¿Comprende?

Sí, entiendo, gentleman.

Good.

No.

Mike's discovered a lot of people.

He sees something in them

no one else sees.

He believes in them.

His love is like a rocket.

Blasts you forward into your future,

into your destiny,

but no matter who you are,

sooner or later you wake up

in your shiny new rocket...

Alone...

And realize he's in the cockpit

and he has the keys.

The view is amazing.

But somewhere in the back of your mind,

you can hear the crash coming,

somewhere, somehow...

Anytime.

Some people don't like that feeling.

I suppose everyone's wanted to kill him

at some point.

I know I have.

Do you think he's still alive?

Absolutely...

But I'm an optimist.

I mean, there's no evidencethat he's dead.

Maybe, uh, he's in shock.

Maybe he's unableto communicate

for one reasonor another.

Do you think...

Feelings, intentions,

bad thoughts...

Can have an effect on reality like...

Sort of...

Unintentional prayers?

Definitely.

I think everything'sconnected.

Did you know thatin nuclear physics,

if you just lookat a so-called particle,

you change it?

Imagine. Just by lookingat something,

you can actuallychange what it is.

Sometimes you caneven destroy it.

It's like turning onthe light to see the darkness.

And we know that whatwe look at can change us.

Take me, for instance.

One of the main reasonsl'm standing here

is because ofyour husband's movies.

Now I'm here fighting crime, and he's a victim of it.

See, we're connected, and we never even met.

I mean, god only knows

the amount of subnucleartransference

that goes on in a marriage. It's almost incalculable.

Why do you ask?

I didn't know where I was,

but I knew I was alive.

There's nothing quite like a couple of killers

with a shotgun at your head

to make you pay attention.

But seeing their heads blown off instead of mine,

like toy targets exploding...

That's the part that scared me the most.

You can wash upover here.

Buenos dias.

Buenos dias.

I wanted to tell Paige,

"a couple of killers changed me.

"They made your point,

and a bunch of gardeners saved my life."

But something told me

I might never get the chance to tell her.

Maybe what they say is true.

You never can go home again.

Hey, philipo, catch.

Momentito que quiero decir unas palabras.

Momento. Momento.

Gracias.

Silencio, por favor, ¿ah?

Le quiero dar gracias a dios

porque me ha dado una vida muy rica y...

Vamos a comer muy bien.

Pero lo mas importante es que estoy aqui.

Estamos y estoy con mi familia.

Y para mi es UN gran regalo.

Y tambien con nuestro amigo,

Mike...

Que es UN hombre muy muy bueno.

Y con eso,

amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Ahora.

Vamos a comer ya.

Mike, can you help me

with my homework tonight?

That's it, mama.

Come on. Are you going to come fishing

with us on Sunday?

It's our favorite thing to do.

I like it, too.

I'm not turning over his computer.

Can you use it?

No. I don't know how to use it.

That's the last thing I want.

Fine. Then I'll come byto pick it up, ok?

Don't push me.

You're trying to bedifficult.

I'm not trying to be difficult.

I'm sorry, but sooner or later,

you're going to have to getyour head out of the sand

and start dealingwith this.

Hang on, Paige.

Six just came up

from the recordingstudio.

He wants to tellyou something.

Yo, uh, madam Max,

I'm supposed to tell youto hand over the computer

and cooperatewith the powers that be,

but you know, that'snot exactly my style.

I say...

Just take your ownsweet time, madam Max.

It's a cold worldout here,

even in the sun.

You'rea beautiful lady.

You stay warm.

Thanks, six.

Well, yeah, you can see down there from here,

which means they could have shot him

from up here, yeah.

But they were headless corpses, remember?

I don't think

you can blow heads off from 300 yards.

I mean, that's, like, 3 football fields, right?

All right.

The coroner said thatthe recovered skull fragments

were in a state of critically infarcted bifurcation,

meaning all the bone was thoroughly shattered,

meaning the bullets could have been

high-density army-style splinter shot,

which can be fired from 3 feet or 3,000 feet

with the same effect. See what I'm saying?

Get out of here.

You play too many video games, kid.

You think maybe low-flying f-16 fighters

shot him, huh? Vroom!

Like I said, only in Hollywood.

Can't be coffee and Danish. Has to be cappuccino...

Or that thick, creamy stuff...

that Italian thing. What is that?

Tiramisu.

Tiramisu?

Well, whatever.

Anyway, this Michael Max...

he looks to melike one of these guys

that would havehis own murder catered.

Gentlemen, Michael Max is a very innovative guy.

If he's going to do something, he's going to do it first,

and he's going to do it big, he's going to do it right,

and that's exactly why somebodyprobably wanted him dead.

I'd say someonevery professional, obviously,

and...

And very paranoid.

I don't exactly understandwhat I just did for you, but...

no, it's ok.

I'm just trying to, uh,

debug a little number here,

so, uh... so thanks.

You're the wizard.

Well, I guess I'd betterhead back to the shop.

Ok.

See you. See you.

Look. 2 more.

They got to be feds.

Still waiting for me to come home.

Maybe you shouldturn yourself in, eh?

You're wastingmy tax dollars, hombre.

Ha ha!

Hey.

Come through for me, baby.

Yes, baby.

Yes.

Come through for me.

Yeah.

There they are.

Yes.

Fucking clouds.

Progress...

20 seconds.

Oh, my god.

Do you thinkthey're watching us?

What?!

Do you thinkthey're watching us?

Ha ha ha!

It will beall right, hombre.

Yeah?

We'll feed you good.

We'll feed youcocido, menudo,

carnitas, pozole. Ha ha ha!

Sounds good.

What...

Wait.

I never...

I never noticed.

Hey...

2 questions.

Are you here to dosomething bad with our father?

No.

Are you the guy in the newspapers?

Yeah, I am, but don't tell anybody.

I told you. Now pay up.

Ha ha ha!

Yeah.

Some friend.

Sorry about that.

It's ok. Good night.

Yeah.

Good night.

I still love my wife...

So much.

Señora, there are 3 gentlemen.

Let them wait.

I always did,

even when I made her suffer on purpose

for long periods of time

and enjoyed it perversely.

Perversely.

That's one thing I think I can define now.

It's when things are upside down

and you start to like them that way.

Oh.

Hey, you got your phone?

You talk to him.

Six. What's up?

He's got to change.

You have to change.

What? Who this?

I'm a friend who you don't know yet.

What kind of shit is this?

I know all my friends.

Oh, I'm an amigo closer than you think.

There's a message I must give you.

There's no time. You must change.

Gangsta rap is dying.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Violence is dead.

No, no, no, no. Listen,

let me tell you something, friend.

Violence is bigger than ever.

You see, them little baby white girls

be piercing every floppy piece of skin they got,

creaming to every flavor of gangsta, man.

Pretty soon, records just going to have

the sound of gunshots on them, man,

and everywhere you look,

billboards got some big-ass movie star

holding some big-ass gun.

Let me tell you something, motherfucker.

Violence rules, man!

Violence is flip! If you don't like it,

you can run with the nuns,

but it is here, it is now, and six is on it.

Brian.

Hello, Paige.

This is Terry gromer...

president, musicand movies divisions...

And Ian whitley,

your head of business affairs.

Hello, gentlemen.

You can smoke, Brian.

Thanks.

Champagne?

Coffee?

I feellike I've grown

very close to youin this short time.

El se siente muy cerca a nosotros

aunque sea poco tiempo.

Eh, gracias.

But now I'm aboutto do something

that I thinkis important, but...

It is risky.

Que tiene que hacer algo muy importante,

pero que acaso lleva riesgo.

And just in caseanything happens to me,

I just wanted to saythank you and adios.

¿Que?

¿Eh?

Y pues, si lleva riesgo,

¿por que no le ayudamos?

Como no. Si, vamos.

Ha ha!

We're with you.

Con la madre.

Con todo lo que tenemos.

Estuvo bonito.

Hi, Ramon.

Pick any station you want.

Maybe it'll look better

with the colored paper.

Yeah, I guess.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you have any work station

that's available?

Did you check in?

Got a friend taking care of it.

Esta es la hoja.

Great. How about this one?

Aqui hay.

Excuse me, can you help me?

Right over here.

No, no, no.

In a minute.

No, he's fine.

He can take careof himself.

The thing about sudden attack

is you never know where it's coming from,

but it's usually not from where you expect it,

unless you expect it from everywhere,

which makes you paranoid.

Mike, you'll probably

never get this.

The FBI has been all over everything,

but if you're out there, this is very strange.

A guy called you.

He wanted to talk to you very urgently.

He asked me whether you'dhad a chance to read the file

he'd sent you on your e-mail.

He sounded scared.

He didn't want to leave his name or number.

He insisted that you would knowhow to reach him.

Apparently you met at the technology fair

in Florida last year,

and he said you liked each other.

I... I hope this means something to you,

and... I hope you're alive.

Ramon, Jose...

Let's go.

Let's just keep moving.

Ok, amigo, come on.

Out of the way, ma'am. What?

Proceeding.

Ah, shit. Ramon'sgot the keys.

Securing the back entrance.

¿Señor, con permiso?

Fuera.

Gracias.

!¡vamanos!

!¡vamanos!! Vamanos!

Under control.

!¡hijole, por UN pelo!

Llegaron rapido.

All right, let'sget out of here.

Who welooking for?

I don't know, chief.

That was... that was Orion.

This one is...

Taurus.

If you lookreally close,

you can seethe shape of a bull.

Wow! Which one did you go to?

Ha ha ha! I didn'tgo to the stars.

I just helped buildone of these big telescopes

so that we cansee them better.

My daddy's up there.

It'd be nice if we could see him.

But I guess we can't always have

what we want.

Hello?

Hey, Paige.

Hi, six.

Bad time?

No. I was just reading.

I thought I heard something.

It gets kind of spooky up here sometimes.

You seem tense.

Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'll check on that contract tomorrow.

Shouldn't be alone.

No, I'm doing all right... sort of.

Oh... uh, well, I'll see you at the studio.

Yeah, on Thursday.

I'll see you Thursday evening.

Right. Yeah.

No, I like poetry.

Yeah, I'm doing a lot of things

I've never done before.

I guess it's exciting, yeah.

Ha ha!

So I'll see you Thursday night?

No tengas miedo.

Tuve que venir a verte.

Quiero que me tomes en tus brazos.

Levantate.

Sienteme... besame.

Pretty small.

Hmm.

Big memory, though.

A man I met once

chose me to reveal a secret to.

Yeah?

He'd been working on a government project.

I guess he...

Doesn't believe in it anymore,

and he needed somebody on the outside.

Why did he pick you?

Weren't you a big-shotmovie producer or something?

I thought everybodyhated you guys.

They do, but for some reason, I guess...

He liked me.

Stas afuera, Ramon?

Esta bien, Cecilia.

Don't like ustoo much.

I try not to.

Good.

Ha ha. Just let us like you.

It's less dangerous.

Ha ha.

I hope so.

You're doinggreat, ray.

You're gettingit all going.

That, uh... maid working out ok?

Yeah, fine.

It's hard to get good help these days.

Your part should be done

in a couple of months.

Then the operators will take over.

That will be good.

Just wantedto touch base,

tell you we're allvery happy with your work.

Country's gratefuland all that.

If we could get this thingfully operational soon,

it'll bean awesome tool...

cut down on crimeresponse time by 200%.

Accuracy, eye-witness evidence...

Could mean the endof violence as we know it.

That would be good.

Of course, if there was

just one little, tiny, infinitesimal leak

before congressapproved it...

We'd have to wipethe whole thing out.

Everythingdown the drain...

Poof!

Or they'd crucifyall of us.

Not a perfect system.

I've worked on projects before

that weren't popular with the public.

You're not in nasaanymore, Toto.

You're not watchingthe heavens from earth.

That's easy.

You're watching earthfrom the heavens.

That's messier.

A system like this, there's a chance for abuse.

If you, uh, see anythingthat I miss...

Any misuse...

Anything, uh...

Strange...

You'll let meknow, right?

I'm a computer scientist.

This is Hollywood.

What's not strange?

Don't worryabout seeds of violence, Paige.

The movie's a drain on your cash flow anyway.

It's the record company

that'll be your top asset for the merger

after the divorce.

Hmm. How do you divorcea missing husband?

Trust me.

Hold on, Brian.

Go ahead, Claire.

The production reports are just now...

Dad... what's the matter?

Now, is nothing the matter?

Dad, I, um...

I have a problemthat, um...

Shoot.

People arebeing killed.

Pourquoi?

I don't know, dad.

I don't evenknow if...

I don't even knowif this place is safe.

Can you be let out of anything?

We've got to get t-t-together on that.

Now, I think...

It's a different dall... dall game.

Any... anything... anything...

Be... you... you better hold on.

All right.

I will, dad.

Ah... I ain't never done this shit.

I'm a rapper, so...

I don't know.

This here is called when I close my eyes.

And I'm gonna try and lay it down for you

like the black man, and not the gangsta man do.

'Cause you ladies like to watch your figure,

I'll take the fat out and the sugar, too.

See, I'm talkin' about a new sound.

Somebody tell me just the other day,

like a... Voice from heaven

while I'm riding down the freeway,

he say that gangsta sound is dead and gone.

He say that nasty groove with something to prove,

that get in your face and leave a angry taste,

get you up in arms about the disgrace

and make you shake it all over the place...

he say that's been here, and now it's gone.

It's time for the wise to move on.

He talkin' about some new kind of sound

with a different view.

We used a hammer. A golf club would do.

He said machine-gun lyrics just fire blanks.

Get out of the trenches.

Put on those pink checkered pants.

He said don't matter what you say,

it's what they see that'll win the day.

He said change your name from six to four.

You'll win the game, gain much more.

I'm talkin' about some new kind of sound...

Not so phat,

kind of cool and sweet like some old hep cat.

For me, you know...

I don't know, man. I need it loud and proud

and not 'cause I need to stick out the crowd.

It's 'cause the sound of silence...

see, it makes me cry.

Burns my ears and spits blood in my eye.

'Cause it's not the echo of the shots

still ringin' in my head

or the line on page 3 saying some other black man dead.

For me, when I close my eyes, I only hear one sound.

The sound of my brother assshane when he hit that ground.

I sure admire the way

you guys have jumpedback in the saddle here.

Some people would bein Hawaii under protection.

Police protection gives me the shivers.

I know what you mean.

No, in moviesit always turns out

that there'sa leak on the force

or the guard just went fora piss when the killer comes.

I hate that stuff.

No, you guys are...

you guys areway more original.

I got eyes in the back of my head.

My god, she is something.

I don't know how you keepyour mind on your work.

Listen, detective doc...

The investigation is basically over,

and Mike is not a suspect anymore.

He's a missing person.

You are the only one

who's trying to figure out

the big hidden story.

If there's a connection

between the movie and Mike's case,

I think the link is in your head.

Have a nice day, detective doc.

The boomis in the shot.

Look, Claire, this is impossible.

You cannot just waltz in here with anybody.

I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It won'thappen again.

The guard just went for a piss

before the killer comes in.

I mean, why I do make films in america?

I should have stayed in Europe. I mean...

You, go, I hold.

All right, there's a one-hour break.

We'll shoot it after dinner.

See you.

Ok, I'll see you.

You got the part.

Yup. Did you find your man?

Nope.

Hmm. What about your woman?

Ha!

Now, I remember the first line.

What happens next?

Well, see, I overheard this guy

before he killed my sister.

And the last thing she said was,

"how did you find me?"

And he says,

"I've got eyes in the back of my head."

Now, that guy...

He works here,

so I decide to come pay him a little visit.

Hmm. Sex, murder, revenge.

Good old-fashioned American fun.

Hey, whatever bringspeople together.

You never know.

Um, this one is a little silly.

It's called I'm a fluffball.

I'm a fluffball,

living my fluffy life in scarcity.

The life I choose is an illusion.

The world is an intrusion.

What's your name?

Ruby. I'm Ruby, and I want to fuck you.

Well, that's honest...

And coincidentally,

I want to fuck you, too.

No, no, I mean

I want to fuck you.

Hey, you get that special feeling.

I don't thinkyou understand

exactly who's going to bedoing the fucking here.

Yeah, right. No, no.

It's in here.

You're kidding.

Ah, show me yours,

I'll show you mine.

Listen, baby, how about I get a better...

forget it! My way or no way.

What is this?

The ultimate

good news/bad news situation?

See ya.

Hold on. Now, this takes a minute. Jesus.

You know, you remind me of someone.

Witty.

Ok... all right...

Whatever you want.

Good.

I'll have... A creama cream soda.Soda.

Doesn't a sweet thing like you

worry about getting hurt?

There's a lot of bad boys out there.

Mm-hmm. I know.

But I got eyes in the back of my head.

And cut!

Excellent, cat! That's a print.

Wire themfor the bullets...

And lots of blood.

Great. Great scene, zoltan.

It was great.

Thank you, Brian.

But you're not here to make compliments, right?

Listen, um, I've doneall I can do, all right?

They pulled the money. That's it.

Sorry.

Huh.

Liar.

I know who pulled the money.

You don't waste much time,

do you, Brian?

That's it, cat.

They're shutting the movie down.

That's it? It's just... it's... it's over?

Sorry.

Guessthat's a wrap.

I'll just be a minute.

I'm sorry. You were good.

You'll getanother break.

Define break.

I guess sometimes your friends

are really your enemies.

Sometimes your enemies are your friends.

Sometimes they're one and the same.

Who can you trust?

Reminds me of what a prick I was.

I'm starting to think thatfairy tales are overrated.

Sometimes a goodold-fashioned catastrophe

can really cutto the heart of the matter,

ready or not.

Yeah, well...

I can feel it cutting right now.

I'll just go.

Try to makethe most of it.

Whew.

Shit.

Huh.

Hey! Hey!

You sure you didn't break something?

Oh, no, it's ok.

Don't worry. I won't sue.

Well, I got to say,

you know how to tell a story.

It must all seemcompletely bizarre to you.

Just a little.

And if it's all true,

you're going to have to trust someone.

You know, i hated movies

when the guy runningfrom the government

meets a well-intentioned, beautiful girl,

gives hertop-secret information.

That character, she always dies.

Look, just because some real FBI guy

believes in movies so much

doesn't mean that you have to.

He doesn't know any better.

You should.

And in case you haven't noticed,

I'm not exactly the stupid actress

who stands at the edge of the cliff

screaming for help.

No...

You're the stupidstunt woman

that jumpsoff the cliff.

This is a lot moredangerous than the cliff.

Define dangerous.

It comes up fast... And...

You see those2 guys over there?

If I wentfor a piss,

they wouldeat you alive.

Those 2 guys?

Hey! Hey, hey!

I like to play.

We're aiming at thatlittle red thing, right?

Yeah.

Hey, where you going, honey? The party just started.

Hey! Easy.

Guys...

Can we do a littlenegotiation here?

Ha ha ha!

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

Nobody ever gave mea break before.

I guess I didn'twant to let you down.

This is the name and the number.

Don't use it yourself.

Wait until you find somebody capable

you can absolutely trust...

Like I trust you.

You've been through a lot lately.

Why don't you lie low for a while?

You know, doc,

I've known guys like you over the years...

sharp, tenacious, real prize-winners,

generally obsessed over the dangerous cases

you've been taken off of.

Truth is, there's usually some kind

of personal motive,

some hook in the gut.

Is that what's going on with you, doc?

What's going on with meis that you're trying

to infect me with yourgood old-fashioned cynicism

so I doubt myself

and decide that we're reallynot trying to cover up

some covert, totally illegal, murderous operation.

Listen! You just watch your step.

Oh. Uh, excuse me. I'm sorry.

I think we've found cat.

We ran a trace on a letter

to her brother in Seattle

on his birthday.

It's from south central.

We're verifying the address

right now.

Thank you.

Hi there.

Can you tell mewhere number 14 is?

It's up there.

Thank you.

A cop!

A cop. Let'sgo in the car.

I'm doc. I'm here to see cat.

You must be... Ade.

So, are you here as a copor as a human being?

Um... human cop? Possible?

Hmm.

Flying camel? Possible?

I've seen them. Rare, but beautiful.

Ok.

I am here as a human being.

Welcome.

Cat's told me all about you.

The doc's here on a social call,

blanche.

It's ok.

I realized after, uh...

After they tried to close the case

and stop me from digging,

even on my own time,

that, uh...

This instinct I had about you...

that you had some valuable information,

some key to the whole puzzle,

and that I had to see you...

was based on nothing except that...

I wanted to see you.

I wanted to see you more than anything.

Really?

Truly.

Took you a whileto find me.

You were pretty well-hidden.

It's nice to see you.

It's nice to see you.

I thought that, um,

maybe you came bybecause you'd heard...

you'd heard thatl'd met with Mike.

What?

You saw Mike?

Since he disappeared?

Briefly. We hada few beers.

You had a few beers with Mike?

Are you kidding?

What happened? What did he say?

Hey, hey, hey. Flashback.

Remember, we have an agreement.

You are on a special visa,

or you can fly your camel ass

right on out of here, ok?

He's a missing person,

and this is a double murder case,

and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

All right.

By the way...

I love you.

They missed him.

I'm, uh, just goingfor something to eat, guys.

Come out.

I could have killed you.

I've beenconsidering that.

Yeah. Me, too.

I've been considering a lot.

I've beenwatching you.

I thinkyou've been doing

a little morethan considering.

You were here, weren't you?

You were here before.

You took your organizer.

I could feel you,

just like I felt you now.

You came right in,

but you didn't say anything.

You let me wonder.

You haven't communicated once

in 2 months...

not a call, not a message.

I could feel you punishing me.

It hurt.

I couldn'tcommunicate with you.

It was too dangerousfor both of us.

For both of us.

A guy slipped mea government file,

an f.B.I. File.

Now they're tryingto kill me.

Did you kill those 2 guys?

No, I didn't.

I could kill you.

I could kill you right now.

Somebody told me just the other day,

like a voice from...

Look...

All I could think of

when they hadthe gun to my head

was how muchi loved you.

I think it saved me.

I... I pictured you.

Starting overagain then,

but starting overin a better way.

Now I...

Guess Guatemala'sout of the question.

I'm not kidding around.

Everybody thinks you're dead

or a murderer, a fugitive.

I can't turn myself in.

Don't you see that?

Who can iturn myself in to?

Good question.

I see who you'veturned yourself into.

Kind of like looking in a mirror.

No. It's me, Paige.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter!

You're an intruder

in the middle of the night.

I'd have every right to kill you.

Every right!

It's nice to see youso motivated.

People change.

Maybe.

It feels good to be appreciated sometimes,

to have someone support you emotionally,

to have someone who gives a shit

about who you really are inside.

Say, babe.

Baby, you down there?

I'm coming.

You want some water?

I want you, babe.

You got it.

I keep the company and the house.

When everything's settled,

I'll send you half the cash.

You would have never let me have half.

You would have wiggled out of it.

You bastards always do.

If there's anything specific you want,

you let me know now.

The robe.

What?

I want your robe.

If you think...

I'm going to...

just the robe, hmm?

That's all I want.

Then you'll leave?

Mm-hmm.

That's the deal.

Half the cash later...

The robe now.

Say, baby? You all right?

Yeah. I-I'm coming.

Oh, could you put some music on?

Half my kingdomfor a robe.

That's a prettygood deal,

even in Hollywood.

That's the first timel've seen it

where the woman with the guntakes her clothes off.

I like it.

Now everybody has what they want.

Is it worthdying for? Huh?

It always was.

Ramon Gomez.

Whatever you'regoing to give to me,

you give to him.

And if you're goingto run the company,

trust your instincts.

You've gotwhat it takes.

Be carefulwith those things.

They can be dangerous

if you canget them to work.

Hey! What happened?

Hey! Answer me!

Ah!

I don't know how you work on that, um,

that antiquated typewriter.

You got to changeto a computer.

No, no.

I can hook it upfor you.

I think the idea of this is right.

Yeah?

Not your mm-puter.

Not the computer?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

No?

Uh...

Well, an old man is an old man.

I have nothing I tell to lose

except that...

As long as you re-remain with me.

Stop sliding aroundwith your gun

like some paranoiddrug lord.

If somebody wantedto get you,

they'd probably justblow up your little house.

Cat?

I'm the one askingthe questions here.

What are you doing here?

Depends.

On what?

Define that thingyou said.

Define it.

I can't believe you're here.

Don't changethe subject.

Define it.

Be more specific.

What a city, hmm?

Nothing like it.

If we could see it.

Are you doc?

Yeah.

So, you, uh...

uh!

Oh!

Oh!

Come here.

Don't move. Don't move.

My god, they could shoot anybody.

Mi hija, vete a jugar.

No quiero ir.

Vete a jugar, te digo.

Mami.

Anda, vete.

I'll spare you the speech.

3,500 murders last year.

Anything that helps you see the truth is good.

Ray was the traitor.

Ray dug his own grave.

You don't change your mind

on the battlefield.

At least, I knew you wouldn't.

They said,

"get us someone who will risk her life."

I said,

"I'll get you somebody who owes us her life,

"who owes us for her salvation...

"a woman whose husband was killed

in front of her eyes."

I don't know why i'm trying to cheer you up.

I'm the one who had to shut down

his whole operation.

We were trying to do something good.

Ray was tryingto do something good.

Ray was doing something stupid.

You're good, mathilda,

but people with good intentions

aren't enough.

Changing things takes guts.

Changing yourself...

that takes guts.

Listen to us...

a couple of killers

trying to changethe world.

I'm finished.

I've paid you back.

We are even now.

I'm going to take my daughterand start my life over,

and if you thinkthat you still own me...

Then you canshoot me in the back.

Mathilda!

¿hablas espanol?

Poco.

How poco?

Very poco.

Why don't youteach me something?

Um... mar.

Mm-hmm.

Los Angeles.

Los anheles.

Los angheles.

Sky.

Cielo.

I thought cielomeant heaven.

Cielo means both... heaven and sky.

They're watching us.

Mommy.

Funny...

Just when you think you've got it all figured,

in a heartbeat, it changes again.

Thing is, all those years while I was waiting

for that sudden attack,

I became the enemy,

and when the enemy I'd expectedfinally came,

they set me free.

It's a change, hmm?

Now when I look over the ocean,

I don't expect nuclear submarines

or alien attackers anymore.

I can see China now...

And I hope they can see us.
