NERVOUS FLYER, HUH ?
NO, I-I LOVE FLYING.

OH.
YOU SEEM A LITTLE--
I AM, A LITTLE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT ?

YEAH, YEAH. I'M FINE.
JUST GOT STOMACH PAINS.

I THINK IT'S STRESS.
I'VE GOT A REALLY
HIGH-STRESS JOB.

- I W-WORK AS A--

- I'M A PSYCHIATRIST.

REALLY ?

* A LITTLE DRUNK
IS BETTER THAN DEAD *

THE PATH THAT YOU WERE LED *

* WHEN YOUR ASS HAS BEEN
SLAPPED
BY TOO MANY DOORS *

* AND YOU THINK
OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS
YOU CAN'T AFFORD *

* YOU CAN'T FIND A GOOD WOMAN
CAN'T FIND A GOOD JOB *

* YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND ALL YOU SEE IS A SLOB *

* YOU JUST CAN'T SWALLOW
ALL THE SHIT YOU'VE BEEN FED *

* BEEN PUNCHED
IN THE EYE SO MUCH
YOU ONLY SEE RED *

* BUT BEFORE YOU PUT
THAT GUN TO YOUR HEAD *

* A LITTLE DRUNK
IS BETTER THAN DEAD *

WHAT WE HAVE HERE
IS RELATIVELY SIMPLE.

THE MOB'S GONNA BE
RUNNING A MARKET STRADDLE
WITH COLOMBIAN MONEY.

SO WE'RE TALKING, UH,
90-DAY TURNAROUND.

YOU THINK
THE COLOMBIANS ARE GONNA
LET THEIR MONEY SIT THAT LONG ?

NO WAY.
THESE GUYS ARE NOT KNOWN
FOR THEIR PATIENCE.

THEY'RE SITTIN' ON IT ANYWAY.
DEPENDS ON HOW CONFIDENT
THEY ARE IN THEIR PLAYERS.

I JUST DON'T SEE
FULVIO NESSTRA BEING
POINT GUARD ON THIS.

HE'S STRICTLY MUSCLE.
DEMENTED MUSCLE.

THE GUY'S
THE JEFFREY DAHMER
OF HIT MEN.

LOOK, FULVIO'S MARRIED
TO CARMINE MINNETTI'S DAUGHTER.
HE'S GETTING HIS SHOT.

-THEY'RE HOLDING SOMETHING BACK.
-WHAT KIND OF NUMBERS
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE ?

THE VAILLARS HAVE ONE
OF THE LARGEST CASH RESERVES
OF ANY OF THE OLD CARTELS.

VERY CONSERVATIVE, I'D SAY
WE'RE LOOKING UPWARDS OF
HALF A BILLION.

THAT LEAVES US
IN A TRICKY POSITION.

DO WE GO FOR THE BUST,
OR DO WE LOOK TO BREAK
THE VAILLAR BANK ?

BOTH. KEEP THIS OPERATION
GOING, COLLECTING NEGOTIABLE
INSTRUMENTS AND INDICTABLES.

I'LL GET ON INTERNATIONAL.
GENE, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY
GET A HEAD START ON, UH--

- I'M NOT DOING EYEBALLS.
GIVE IT TO LIZZIE.
- NO FUCKING WAY !

NO FUCKING WAY ?
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
OFF YOUR ASS IN SIX MONTHS.

HEY, HEY, HEY.
WE'LL GET THE KID FROM K-10.
JESUS CHRIST, YOU GUYS.

- EXCUSE ME.
- CHRIS, YOU WANNA GET
DAVE JUNIPER UP HERE ?

EXCUSE ME !

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
LIKE TO HEAR FROM
THE ONLY PERSON...

WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS
ABOUT THIS OPERATION.

FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NO WAY
TO BREAK THE VAILLAR BANK.

THE MONEY'LL BE LAUNDERED
AND DISPERSED IN NEGOTIABLE
INSTRUMENTS EVERY 15 TO 90 DAYS.

SECONDLY,
WHEN THIS KIND OF MONEY
STARTS CHANGING HANDS,

BODIES ARE
GONNA START DROPPING
LIKE STOCK TIPS.

THIRDLY, IN CASE
YOU PEOPLE MISSED SOMETHING,

THE BAD GUYS KNOW !

SOMEBODY BLEW US IN.
THEY LAID ME AND JOSH OUT...

ON SILVER SERVICE PLATTERS
AND SHOVED UZIS UP OUR ASSES.

I THOUGHT I WAS
A FUCKING CORNISH GAME HEN
AT MARTHA STEWART'S HOUSE !

CHARLIE, THEY'RE ALL DEAD.
THE BAD GUYS HAVE
ALL BEEN KILLED.

- DIDN'T GET WARREN GANZA.
HE'S STILL OUT THERE !
- WARREN'S A "YES MAN."

HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY
CREDIBILITY OR CONNECTIONS.

ALL THE PLAYERS BELONG
TO YOU NOW, CHARLIE.

OKAY, OKAY.
I'M ON THE PAYROLL.

BUT THERE'S NO TEAM.
NO EYEBALLS, NO SOUND,
NO CHERRY-PICKERS.

AND DON'T LET ME SEE
ANYBODY PEEKING !

ALL I WANT OUT OF THIS
IS THE OCEAN VIEW.

HE'S NOT GONNA MAKE IT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THIS GUY,
WHAT HE HAS IN HIM.

ON HIS WORST DAY,
HE'S GOT MAGIC
YOU WOULDN'T SEE IN VEGAS.

BESIDES, I DON'T SEE AS
WE HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICES.
YOU'RE RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW HIM.

I KNOW HE'S A LEGEND
IN THE D.E.A., AND I RESPECT
WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM.

BUT HE LET THAT WHOLE
MIAMI OPERATION GO TO SHIT.
GOT A MAN KILLED.

I'M NOT SAYING, "PULL HIM,"
BUT WE GODDAMN WELL BETTER HAVE
A CONTINGENCY PLAN...

IF HE STARTS SEEING GHOSTS.

HE'LL HOLD IT
TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH
TO GET US A BUST.

HE'LL DO IT ON INSTINCT.

CHARLES MAYO ?
IT'S "MAY-OH."

"MAY-OH." RIGHT.
I'M DAVE JUNIPER.

I'VE BEEN ASSIGNED
AS YOUR BACKUP, AND I
JUST WANNA TELL YOU...

HOW REVVED I AM
TO BE WORKING WITH YOU.

I MEAN, YOU'RE
ONE OF MY HEROES.

WHO ARE YOUR OTHER HEROES ?
KEITH RICHARDS.

REMEMBER:
NEVER LET ME SEE YOU.

DIDN'T GET WARREN GANZA.
HE'S STILL OUT THERE.

OH, GEEZ.

NOT AGAIN !
OH, JESUS.

OH, GOD.

GOD.

I WANNA TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THE JOB.

THIS IS ALL CONFIDENTIAL,
RIGHT ? YEAH. WELL.

LOOK, I'VE NEVER
DONE THIS BEFORE, AND, UH,

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
I'M NOT INTO SEARCHING
FOR MY INNER CHILD...

OR FINDING OUT
ABOUT MY DISAPPOINTMENT
IN MY MOTHER.

OKAY ?
OF COURSE.

I MEAN, I REALLY
DON'T GIVE A SHIT
IF MOMMY WAS LACKING.

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I JUST
FOUND MYSELF SAYING,

"MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY,"

OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
YOU KNOW ?

IT JUST WAS--

I DON'T KNOW.

GO AHEAD
AND WIPE YOUR EYES.

ANYWAY--
CHARLES,
OUR TIME IS UP,

BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD
COME IN AGAIN TOMORROW.

OUR TIME'S UP ?
I JUST STARTED.
WE'VE DONE TWO HOURS.

- I CAN'T GO ANY LONGER.
- PLEASE, DOCTOR.
THIS IS REALLY HELPING ME.

- I'LL PAY YOU ANYTHING.
- BELIEVE ME, I WOULD STAY,

BUT I'VE
GOT GROUP THERAPY SESSION
THAT STARTS IN A FEW MINUTES.

I JUST CAN'T TURN AWAY
FOUR OTHER PATIENTS.

YEAH. SURE.

CHARLES, WHY DON'T YOU STAY
FOR THE GROUP THERAPY ?

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I--

I REALLY CANNOT SHARE.

FROM WHAT I COULD SEE,
YOU NEED TO SHARE MORE
THAN ANYONE I KNOW.

YOU'RE IN A NEW CITY
IN AN UNTENABLE SITUATION.

YOU'RE SUFFERING
FROM ALIENATION AND
A POST-TRAUMATIC DISORDER.

BELIEVE ME, MY FRIEND,
YOU NEED THE SUPPORT.

EVERYBODY IN THE BUILDING
KNOWS IT'S AGAINST MY NATURE...

TO HAVE A CONFRONTATION
OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS--
AND WHY SHOULD I ?

THE RESULT IS JUST
GONNA BE THIS MOCK INNOCENCE
THAT MARGINALIZES MY NEEDS.

I ASK HER
SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE:

"WOULD YOU PLEASE NOT BUY
ANY MORE WALTON ICE CREAM ?"

I REALLY FIND IT
CHEMICAL-TASTING.

AND SURE ENOUGH,
FOR DESSERT, SHE'S SERVING
WALTON ICE CREAM !

IT USUALLY HAPPENS
WHEN IT'S REALLY QUIET,

LIKE AT A BUSINESS MEETING
OR AT A DINNER.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
I--

I FEEL
THIS PRESSURE BUILDING.

WHEN I DO GOOD THINGS,
I GET PUNISHED.

AND WHEN I DO BAD THINGS,
I GET REWARDED.

I'VE CHAIRED THAT MEETING
FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS.

AND THEN
TO ALL OF A SUDDEN COME BACK
AND HAVE KRAMER CHAIR ?

- I DON'T COUNT.
- ...URGE TO SCREAM.

- THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS WIN.
- IT'S LIKE CORPORATE
TOURETTE'S.

- IT'S HUMILIATING !

MIGHT AS WELL BE BUCK NAKED
WITH
A FEATHER STICKING OUT MY ASS !

I'M OVERWHELMED WITH
THIS URGE TO DO SOMETHING
TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE.

AND I SIT THERE
AND I TELL MYSELF,

"IF YOU ERUPT, IT WILL
DESTROY YOUR LIFE."

BUT THAT JUST MAKES
THE PRESSURE INCREASE.

WHAT DO YOU DO ?
FIRST I HOLD MY TONGUE
FIRMLY BETWEEN MY TEETH.

LIKE THIS.

AND THEN
I PUSH MY CHIN UP.

BUT THAT STARTS
TO HURT, SO--

THEN I JUST BITE
THE HEEL OF MY HAND.

- SO FAR.

YOU KNOW HOW
WE ALL HAVE THIS WAY
WE WANT LIFE TO BE, RIGHT ?

WE ALL SAY PEOPLE GET WHAT'S
COMING TO THEM IN THE END.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S REALLY TRUE,
HOWARD ? OR DO YOU THINK
THAT'S A PERCEPTION ?

I REALLY HATE WHEN YOU USE
THAT PATRONIZING TONE WITH ME.
I HATE THAT.

I MEAN, IF WE'RE IN HELL
AS A FACT OF LIFE, OKAY,

AND I SAY, "HEY,
IT'S A LITTLE HOT IN HERE,"
WHY AM I CALLED NEGATIVE ?

- NOBODY CALLED YOU
NEGATIVE, HOWARD.
- YEAH, YOU DID.

- YOU DIDN'T, BUT YOU DID.
- NO, I SIMPLY ASKED...

IF IT COULD JUST BE THE WAY
YOU'RE PERCEIVING THINGS.

EVERYTHING IS JUST
THE WAY WE PERCEIVE THINGS.

MY PERCEPTION OF LIFE
IS WHO I AM-- IT'S ME !
IT'S MY EXPRESSION, OKAY ?

AND I PERCEIVE
THAT EVERY PLACE I LOOK,
THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS WIN.

- NEXT WEEK WE SHOULD SPEND
THE WHOLE SESSION ON THAT.
- OH, SO I'M THIS BURDEN NOW.

- AND I'M SUPPOSED
TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THAT ?
- NOBODY CALLED YOU A BURDEN.

BUT I JUST HAVE ANOTHER
20 MINUTES LEFT,

AND I'D JUST LIKE TO GIVE
CHARLES A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT
SOME OF THE ISSUES...

HE'S BEEN WRESTLING WITH
SINCE HE CAME TO NEW YORK,
ALL RIGHT ?

- CHARLES.

UH, WELL, UM--

I REALLY HATE WATERMELON.

I GUESS MY MAIN ISSUES
REALLY COME FROM MY JOB.

- H'M.

- I MEAN, IT WAS
ALWAYS TOUGH WORK,

AND, I DON'T KNOW, I THOUGHT
I HAD A HANDLE ON IT, BUT...

THIS LAST DEAL--

CHEEMO PARTEL
STARTS SINGING TO ME.

THEN HE SHOVES A GUN
IN MY PARTNER'S ASS
AND BLOWS HIM AWAY.

THEY TOSS HIM
OUT THE WINDOW.
THEY GRAB ME.

THEY THROW ME
ONTO THIS SERVING PLATTER.
MY FACE IS STUCK IN THIS...

MUSHY WATERMELON--
THE SMELL WAS
JUST SICKENING.

AND NOW CHEEMO STARTS
GETTING REALLY CRAZY,
HUMMING THESE SHOW TUNES...

AND STICKING
THIS NINE MILLIMETER IN MY FACE.

AND JUST BEFORE HE BLOWS
MY HEAD OFF, THE DIPSHIT
SURVEILLANCE TEAM SHOW UP...

AND KILL EVERYBODY
IN THE ROOM, AND--

I DON'T KNOW,
I'VE BEEN A BIT JITTERY
EVER SINCE.

BUT THE BIG THING IS
THESE NIGHTMARES I'M HAVING.

OKAY, THE GUY I'M SUPPOSED
TO BE IN BED WITH ON THIS,

FULVIO NESSTRA,
HE'S A TOTAL PSYCHO.

AND EVERY TIME
I CLOSE MY EYES,
I CAN SEE HIS FACE,

EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, BUT...

I CAN SEE HIS EYES
BURNING THROUGH ME.

KNOWING
WHAT I'M THINKING.

KNOWING I'M A LIAR.

DID YOU REALLY THINK
YOU COULD STEAL FROM ME ?

- I DIDN'T STEAL.
I SWEAR, FULVIO.

LARRY, JUST ADMIT IT.
YOU'LL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER,

LIKE A BIG WEIGHT'S BEEN
LIFTED FROM YOUR SHOULDERS.

- I SWEAR ON THE LIFE
OF MY CHILDREN--
- SHUT UP !

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF ARABS ?

I REALLY, UH--

I REALLY
DON'T GET THEM.

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST--
JUST BOMB THE WHOLE
MIDDLE EAST.

THAT'S A TYPICALLY BIGOTED
RESPONSE TO A CULTURE
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, IN SAUDI ARABIA,
YOU CAN LEAVE A MILLION CASH
ON THE TABLE.

COME BACK TWO DAYS LATER,
IT'S STILL THERE--
YOU KNOW WHY ?

I-- I--
I GUESS THEY'RE
VERY HONEST PEOPLE ?

THEY'RE NO BETTER
THAN AMERICANS.

BUT THEY HAVE RESPECT
FOR THE LAW.

IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD,
YOU STEAL,

THEY CUT
YOUR FUCKIN' HAND OFF.

I DIDN'T--
I DIDN'T TAKE ANY--
PUT YOUR HAND ON THE TABLE.

PLEASE, IT'S JUST A--
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS.

WITHOUT RESPECT
FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY,
WITHOUT OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW,

WE ARE NO MORE
THAN ANIMALS.

PUT YOUR HAND ON THE TABLE.
I WON'T SAY IT AGAIN.

THERE'S YOUR FUCKING PAPER.
LET THE NEIGHBOR GO.

- YEAH, THE FUCKIN'
SPORTS PAGE IS THERE.

- HOW'S THE NEW
KITCHEN TILE, LAR ?
- LOOKS REALLY NICE.

GOOD.
TELL BARBARA TO CALL ME,
ALL RIGHT ?

GO CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES.

YOU WENT OUT AND GOT
A NEW PAPER, DIDN'T YOU ?

I DIDN'T GET SHIT.
IT WAS BEHIND
THE FUCKIN' GARBAGE CAN.

YOU'RE LYING.

I CAN READ YOUR EYES.

YOU'RE CALLIN' ME
A FUCKIN' LIAR, FULVIO ?

I CRAWL BEHIND THE GARBAGE CANS
TO FIND YOUR LOUSY SPORTS PAGE,

AND YOU CALL ME
A FUCKIN' LIAR.

NO.
YEAH.

I AIN'T CALLING YOU
A LIAR, HONEY.

I'M SAYING
YOU GOT A BIG HEART.
UH-HUH.

YOU JUST SAVED THIS
SPORTS-PAGE-THIEVING
SACK OF SHIT...

FROM GETTING
HIS HAND CHOPPED OFF.

YEAH.

LARRY, YOU GOING TO THE CITY ?
CAN I GET A RIDE FROM YOU ?
MY CAR'S IN THE SHOP.

FINE.

CHARLES !
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

I GET DIZZY
ON A THICK CARPET.

I'M THINKING OF BUYING IT.
- IT MAKES THE WRONG STATEMENT.

ESTUVIO HATES IT.
COME ON. LET'S TALK.

I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN I
HEARD ABOUT CHEEMO'S DEATH.
IT WAS A BAD SITUATION.

ARE WE STILL
IN BUSINESS ?
OF COURSE WE ARE.

BECAUSE I HEARD THE FEDS
WERE IN ON THE DROP.
THERE WERE NO FEDS.

IT WAS WARREN GANZA.
HE WANTED IN ON THIS AND IT WAS
BETWEEN CHEEMO AND ME.

WARREN CAME IN SHOOTING--
NO NEGOTIATIONS.

NOBODY STOOD A CHANCE.
IS HE GONNA
MAKE TROUBLE HERE ?

NO.
I TOLD YOU ONCE BEFORE,
MY FAMILY IS NO LONGER...

INTO THAT WILD,
COLOMBIAN COWBOY SHIT.

WE NEED TO KEEP A LOW PROFILE,
AND MY FATHER'S COUNTING ON ME.

I NEED TO LOOK GOOD.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT I LOOK GOOD.

WE'RE HERE TO INVEST
IN THE COMMODITIES MARKET,

AND I GUARANTEE
YOU WILL LOOK GREAT.

WARREN GANZA IS MY PROBLEM.
HE WILL BE DEALT WITH.

THIS GUY, HE'S HAVING
AN '82 MARGAUX WITH TUNA FISH.
WHAT A POSER.

JASON, CAN WE JUST
DO THIS, PLEASE ?
YOU GOTTA
TRY THE FINGER POTATOES.

WITH SALMON AND CREME FRAICHE--
I'M TELLING YOU, FULVIO,
TONGUE BONER !

- I ALREADY ATE.
I JUST WANT COFFEE.
- YOU GOTTA TRY THE POTATOES.

- I DON'T WANT FINGER POTATOES.
- BRING HIM A PLATE.
- I'M TELLING YOU MY ORDER.

I WANT COFFEE, MILK, TWO SUGARS.
BRING ME ANY WEIRD-LOOKIN'
POTATOES, I'LL KILL YOU BOTH.

I WANT MY COFFEE HOT.
SHUT UP !
FULVIO--

JASON, THIS IS
ALL ABOUT BUSINESS.
YEAH.

WE'RE NOT GETTING INTO
BONDING HERE. WE'RE NOT GETTING
INTO WEIRD FUCKING VEGETABLES.

YOU GOT IT ? WE GOT A MEETING
TONIGHT WITH SOME HEAVY HITTERS.
CAN YOU FOCUS ON THAT ?

YUP, FOCUS.
HEAVY HITTING.
THAT'S WHAT I DO.

GOOD, BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT
COUNTRY CLUB BOYS FROM SCARSDALE
WE'RE DEALING WITH.

EVEN THOUGH
WE DO OWN THAT TOWN.

WE'RE DEALING WITH
TWO OF THE TOUGHEST MOBS
IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

YOU GOTTA STOP ACTING
LIKE SUCH A YUPPIE HARD-ON.

NO--
JUST KEEP IT DOWN
TO BUSINESS TONIGHT.

DON'T TRY TO BE
A BIG ASSHOLE WHO ORDERS
FOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO BE A GOOD HOST.

HAVING A LITTLE
FUN WITH MY LIFE.

- FUN IS OVERRATED.

OKAY, SO SLOW DOWN.
JUST TAKE A MOMENT.
TAKE A MOMENT ?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T THINK I CAN
GO THROUGH WITH THIS TONIGHT.

HE'S GONNA LOOK IN MY EYES
AND KNOW.
THEN CANCEL THE MEETING.

YOU THINK I'VE GOT
SOME KIND OF REAL JOB,

WHERE YOU CAN JUST
HAVE YOUR SECRETARY
CALL AND RESCHEDULE ?

OKAY.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
TRY AND CALM DOWN.

YOU'RE HAVING
A SMALL ANXIETY ATTACK.

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A STRONGER PRESCRIPTION
TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF.

ONLY TAKE ONE OF THESE
ABOUT AN HOUR
BEFORE THE MEETING.

YOU DON'T WANT TO PASS OUT.
THEN I WANT YOU TO CALL
THIS GASTROENTEROLOGIST.

NOTHING IMPEDES THERAPY
LIKE ACUTE, INTERMITTENT
FLATULENCE.

IT'S NOT HAPPENING. IT'S
NOT HAPPENING. AW, COME ON,
COME ON. WHERE IS IT ?

WHERE'S THAT GOOD,
HAPPY FEELING ?

[ Inhales,
Exhales Deeply ]

ONE LITTLE PILL
IS NOT DOING IT, DOC.

OH !

OKAY.

[ Doorman Speaks,
Indistinct ]

YEAH, HOW YA DOIN' ?
YEAH, I GOT YOUR NAME.

*

*

SOMETHING I'D
LIKE TO DO, AND I MIGHT
BE SPEAKING OUT OF TURN,

BUT I WOULD LIKE
TO TAP INTO POLAND.

'CAUSE I LIKE THE WAY
THEY COOK, AND IF YOU CAN
GET THEM IN SIMPLE CLOTHES,

LIKE JEANS, MAYBE, YOU KNOW ?

THE WAY THEIR FACES
ARE SO GENTLE.

THEY'RE VERY INTERESTING
PEOPLE.

SURE, SURE.
HI, I'M JASON CANE.
HEY.

GLAD TO MEET YOU.
HAVE ANY TROUBLE
FINDING THE PLACE ?

NO TROUBLE AT ALL.
AH, THEY LOVE ME HERE.

IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW FIDEL.

FIDEL.
ESTUVIO--

CHARLIE,
THIS IS FULVIO.

THIS IS GREAT.
LET'S GET THIS PARTY ROLLING.

UH, BRING SOME CRISTAL.

COULD YOU GET ME SOME
MINERAL WATER WITH LIME ?
SURE.

- THE SAME FOR ME.

YOO-HOO.

- I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

YEAH.

SO, THE FIRST BIG MEETING.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS AN EVENT.
GOOD. LET'S DO IT.

OH, LET'S DO IT, KIDS !

OH, WHOA !
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ?
NO, NO, NO. NO, NO.

HERE.
EVERYBODY OUTSIDE, NOW.
NOW.

- YOU DON'T HAVE TO TIP !
- I DON'T GIVE A FUCK.
OUT. EVERYBODY.

FIDEL.
OUT !

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK
YOU THINK THIS IS--
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN.

I DON'T KNOW WHO TOLD YOU
THAT OUR BUSINESS TOGETHER
GIVES YOU A LICENSE TO ACT...

LIKE A COMPLETE SHIT-FOR-BRAINS,
BUT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR
MAKES ME VERY, VERY UNEASY.

NOW, WE'RE HERE TO DO
ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY:
TO GO OVER THE ARRANGEMENTS...

- AND GO THE FUCK HOME.

YEAH.
THOSE ARE MY CHILDREN.
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

HOW COME YOU NEVER SHOWED ME
THEIR PICTURES BEFORE ?

I JUST NEVER
GOT AROUND TO IT.

- I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT.
THOSE KIDS
ARE STUNNING. LOOK AT THAT.

THESE ARE THE FACES
THAT CAN CHANGE A MAN'S LIFE.
YOU'RE VERY LUCKY.

- LOOK AT THAT LOOK.

THAT'S ESMERALDA.
SHE LOOKS EXACTLY
LIKE HER MOTHER.

THAT REALLY--
IF YOU TURN IT,
IT'S A GROUP SHOT.

LOOK, FIDEL.
I CAN SEE WHY...

YOU DIDN'T WANT ME
TO BRING IN ANY WOMEN.

YOU'VE GOT
A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY,
AND I RESPECT THAT.

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO SHOW EVERYBODY
A GOOD TIME.

I'M JUST A HARD-ON.
I'M-- I'M SORRY.

NO, IT'S OKAY, JASON.
YOU KNOW WHAT ? I THINK
I WAS BEING TOO UPTIGHT.

TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I'M VERY SENSITIVE
TO THIS WHOLE...

COLOMBIAN COKE-DEALER
STEREOTYPE, AND IT PREVENTS
ME FROM LOOSENING UP !

I TELL YOU,
MY WIFE TELLS ME I GOTTA
LIGHTEN UP A BIT.

SO, FUCK IT, BRING ON
YOUR PARTY. SERIOUSLY.
NO, NO, NO, NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO, I INSIST.
NO. NO !

IT'S BUSINESS FIRST,
AND THEN WE'LL PARTY.
OKAY ?

ALL RIGHT.
LET ME GO THROUGH
THE GAME PLAN.

YOU EVER HEAR
OF A MARKET STRADDLE ?
SURE.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S BASICALLY IT.
I'M GONNA LAUNDER YOUR MONEY
BY PLAYING COMMODITIES FUTURES.

[ Jason Continues Speaking,
Indistinct ]

- THE MINNETTI FAMILY GETS
15% OF EVERY INVESTMENT...

AND 50% OF ALL THE PROFITS.

AND WHAT ARE THE MINNETTIS
DOING FOR ALL THAT VIG ?

WE PROVIDE THE SET-UP.

I WANT THE OCEAN VIEW.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHY AGONIZE OVER THIS ?
LET'S DO IT. LET'S DO IT.

BRING ON THE PARTY.
I HAVE NOT DANCED IN YEARS.
ALL RIGHT !

YEAH.
KIDS, COME ON BACK !

YEAH. LET'S PARTY.

LET'S PARTY.

WE'RE GONNA PARTY.

* I'M YOUR BOOGIE MAN
THAT'S WHAT I AM *

* I'M HERE TO DO
WHATEVER I CAN *

OR LATE AFTERNOON *

HEY... YOU BELIEVE
THE EYES ARE THE WINDOWS
TO THE SOUL ?

HUH ?

I'M VERY GOOD AT READING
WHAT'S IN A PERSON'S EYES.

THAT'S NICE.

I'M READING YOURS
RIGHT NOW.

YEAH ?
WHAT DO THEY SAY ?

THEY SAY...

YOU'RE SLEEPY.

BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT--

IS IT
"TOO MUCH DRUGS" SLEEPY...

OR "TOO MUCH WORK" SLEEPY...

OR "I'M SO FUCKIN' BORED"
SLEEPY.

MAYBE YOU GOT THAT
WEIRD FUCKIN' SLEEPING DISEASE.

"NARCO-SLEEPY."
SOMETHIN' SLEEPY.

I WILL KILL BASED ON WHAT
I READ IN A PERSON'S EYES.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.

WISH I COULD
SLEEP LIKE THAT.

OW, MOTHERFUCK.

OH, YES.

I THINK YOU'RE A LITTLE SLOW
GETTING OUT OF THE GATE, HUH ?

MUST BE YOUR PROSTATE.
YOU NEED TO HAVE MORE SEX.

DID I ASK YOU SOMETHING ?
HEY, DON'T BE JEALOUS.

JUST 'CAUSE
YOU'RE ALL "SNIXED"
UP THE WIGGLY, YOU KNOW ?

OH, YES.

YOU BELIEVE
THE IRONY OF THIS SHIT ?

CAN'T EVEN GO
TO THE BATHROOM WITHOUT
GETTING INTO A PISSING CONTEST.

OKAY. OKAY.
YOU WIN THE PISSING CONTEST.

AND I WIN THE SHOOTIN'.

AAH, FIDEL !

THIS GUY'S
A FUCKIN' ANIMAL.
I KNOW. I KNOW.

BUT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE
OF A BILLION-DOLLAR DEAL.

HE SHOT ESTUVIO'S BALL OFF.
THANK GOD HE MISSED
HIS DICK, BUT--

COME ON, I GOTTA
SEND A MAN HOME
WITH HIS BALL SHOT OFF ?

THIS IS BAD FOR MY IMAGE.
FIDEL, YOU'RE RIGHT.

HE'S AN ANIMAL.
I MEAN, THIS GUY SCARES
THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

HE SCARES YOU, CHARLIE ?

FUCK ! I DIDN'T
THINK ANYBODY COULD
SCARE YOU, MAN.

LISTEN, FULVIO. I DON'T CARE
WHO YOU KILL FOR A LIVING
OR HOW MUCH SHIT YOU PUSH,

BUT YOU START
THAT DON JOHNSON,
COLOMBIAN PARTY SCENE SHIT,

AND I WILL STAPLE YOUR DICK
TO YOUR FOREHEAD.

*

JUNIPER,
WHAT DID I SAY ?

ARE YOU TRYING
TO GET ME KILLED ?
NO.

I SAID,
DON'T EVER LET ME SEE YOU.
DO YOU KNOW WHY ?

BECAUSE IF I CAN SEE YOU,
THE BAD GUYS CAN SEE YOU.

AND IF THEY CAN
SEE YOU, I'M DEAD.
HERE'S THE DEAL, JUNIPER.

YOU CAN'T WATCH ME
ANY MORE.
I HAVE TO.

NO, NO.
YOU HAVE TO BRING IN
YOUR REPORT.

AS LONG AS YOU DO THAT,
YOU'RE COVERED.

NOW, I WANT YOU
TO SPEND THE AFTERNOONS
IN THIS NICE PARK...

FLIRTING WITH YOUNG LADIES.

THEN, AT NIGHT, GET YOURSELF
A DRINK IN THE BAR
ACROSS FROM THE HOTEL.

I WILL THEN BRING YOU
THE DATA REPORT.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA--

THEY WON'T KNOW A THING.
AND I WON'T NEED TO TELL THEM...

THAT YOU'RE
AN INEPT SURVEILLANCE MAN.

I'M NOT INEPT.
OKAY. I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

NOW, YOU DO LIKE I SAID.
I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU
UNLESS I'M LOOKIN' !

OW !

- IT'S "MAY-OH."

JUDY TIPP.
I'M THE ENEMA QUEEN.

THE BARIUM HAS TO WORK
ITS WAY UP INTO YOUR INTESTINES
FOR THE X-RAY TO SEE EVERYTHING,

SO YOU CANNOT RELEASE,
NO MATTER HOW MUCH PRESSURE
YOU FEEL, OKAY ?

UH-HUH.

HOW'D YOU GET THAT SCAR
ON YOUR SIDE ?
FROM MY LAST ENEMA.

- HOW MANY OF THESE
DO YOU DO A DAY ?

OH, UH, ALL DEPENDS
ON THE SEASON, REALLY.

- SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT ASSHOLES.
- THAT'S IT.
THAT'S ALL I CAN HOLD.

HAVEN'T LET IN ANY WATER YET.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.

- THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS.

- LUCKY CHARMS.
"MAGICALLY DELICIOUS."
- OH, PLEASE.

- IRISH SPRING.
DO YOU GUYS REALLY USE IT ?
- I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.

JUST RELAX, BIG GUY.
I'M GONNA TELL YOU
A STORY.

WE HAD THIS PATIENT
WHO WAS SO TERRIFIED
OF THIS PROCEDURE...

THAT HE STARTED MEDITATING
IN ORDER TO--

TELL ME HOW YOUR MEETING
WENT.
- IT WENT FINE.

DON'T GIVE ME "FINE."
I NEED DETAILS.

REMEMBER, WE'RE LETTIN'
YOU RUN WITH THIS BECAUSE
WE'RE RISKING NO MONEY.

- OH, LISTEN, POP--
- HOLD IT.

HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE I TOLD YOU
NOT TO CALL ME POP ?

NOT DAD, NOT PADRE,
NOT PATER.

NONE OF THOSE WORDS
THAT ELEVATE YOU
ABOVE SON-IN-LAW.

I HAD ONE SON,
AND HE KILLED HIMSELF.

I'M SORRY,
DON CARMINE--
SHUT UP !

YOU KNOW ABOUT MY SON ?
HE WAS A FINOCCH'.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT IS ?
HE WAS A FAG.

HE CAME TO ME
ONE NIGHT AND TOLD ME
HE WAS A HOMOSEXUAL.

A FUCKIN' CIGAR SMOKER.
DO YOU KNOW HOW I FELT ?

I THREW HIM OUT
OF THE FUCKIN' HOUSE !

I REJECTED HIM.

I LOVED HIM MORE
THAN I LOVED BREATHING !

AT HIS FUNERAL, I CRIED
LIKE A LITTLE BABY.

NO ONE DARED
TO COME NEAR ME,
EXCEPT ONE PERSON.

HE CAME OVER TO ME AND HE LEANED
MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER.
TOGETHER WE MOURNED.

I HAD A DEEPLY BONDING
MOMENT WITH LEON,

MY SON'S MOOLEY
HAIRDRESSER BOYFRIEND
FROM SPANISH FUCKIN' HARLEM.

MY BEAUTIFUL SON IS DEAD.

AND I'M SITTIN' HERE
WITH SOME DEMENTED
PSYCHO KILLER...

WHO MARRIED MY DEMENTED
PSYCHO DAUGHTER.

I LOVE GLORIA.
AND I'M DOIN' RIGHT
BY HER HUSBAND.

AM I NOT LETTIN' YOU RUN
WITH THIS BIG MONEY SCORE ?

- YES, DON CARMINE.
- EVERYBODY THINKS I'M
SOFT AS A ROTTED PEACH.

I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT HIGH FINANCE ?
YOU'RE A FUCKIN' LEG-BREAKER.

- BUT I GOTTA GIVE YOU A SHOT.
- I APPRECIATE THAT,
DON CARMINE,

BECAUSE I WANNA
CHANGE MY LIFE...

AND GAIN SOME
FINANCIAL SECURITY...

SO THAT I CAN MAKE YOU
SOME GRANDCHILDREN,
DON CARMINE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE
WHAT KIND OF CHILDREN
YOU AND GLORIA WOULD HAVE ?

THEY'D SCARE THE SHIT
OUT OF ADOLF HITLER.
FULVIO ?

HAVE A LITTLE MERCY
ON THE PLANET, HUH ?
FORGET ABOUT CHILDREN.

MAKE A LITTLE MONEY,
YOU KNOW, AND KEEP THE PEACE
WITH THAT DAUGHTER OF MINE.

THANK YOU, DON CARMINE.

YOU ALL RIGHT ?

UH-HUH.
LISTEN. YOU'RE MY LAST
PATIENT FOR THE DAY.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME
GIVE YOU A RIDE HOME ?

NO, THANK YOU.
THAT'S-THAT'S OKAY.

LOOK. YOU'RE A MESS.
I'M GIVING YOU A RIDE HOME.

HERE.
PUT ON YOUR PANTS.

*

HOW ARE YOU FEELIN' ?
FINE.

OH, AND SO CHIPPER TOO.
WHAT DID HE PRESCRIBE
FOR YOU ?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ?
YOU INGEST THAT CRAP,
AND IN SIX MONTHS...

WE'LL BE FITTING YOU
FOR A COLOSTOMY BAG.

YOU ARE A DERANGED LADY.
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP THE CAR
AND LET ME OUT ?

WHY AM I DERANGED ?
BECAUSE I DON'T TAKE
THE ORTHODOX VIEW OF HEALING ?

- YOU DON'T TAKE AN ORTHODOX
VIEW OF DRIVING EITHER.
- NICE REFLEXES.

YOU CLEARLY DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT DRUGS, OKAY ?
THEY'RE KILLERS.

I BET I CAN ALLEVIATE
YOUR STOMACH PAINS IN TWO
WEEKS.

IN A MONTH,
I'LL HAVE 'EM CURED.
NO CHEMICALS INVOLVED.

YEAH.
AH. BUT AM I
AN ATTRACTIVE NUT ?

- EXTREMELY.
- SO COME ON, IT'S TWO WEEKS.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE ?

I CAN'T.
OH, PLEASE.

HEY, I CAN MAKE
A BETTER DIAGNOSIS THAN
THAT DOCTOR I WORK FOR.

YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU ?
SURE.

FEAR.
I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES.

YOU'RE CONSUMED WITH TERROR,
AND IT'S EATING YOU ALIVE.

AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT
UNDER CONTROL, YOU'RE GONNA
SHIT YOURSELF TO DEATH.

OKAY, WHAT DO
YOU HAVE IN MIND ?

WELL, I COULD TAKE YOU
FOR AN HERBAL HAPPY HOUR AND
LIBIDO-BUILDING HEALTH FOOD.

I'M TEMPTED.
GOOD DEAL. YOU'RE ON
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.

FOR ME, THE SINGLE MOST
UNBEARABLE POINT IS HAVING
MY LIFE CONTROLLED...

BY A BUNCH OF IDIOTS
WHO I DESPISE.

I'D GIVE ANYTHING
TO RUN MY OWN LIFE.

- WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE
NO CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE ?
- COME ON, JEFF.

HOW MANY OF US GET
TO BE OUR OWN BOSSES ?

WE ALL HAVE TO ANSWER
TO SOME SHITHEAD, AND THAT'S
WHAT MAKES IT UNBEARABLE.

- THEN QUIT !
- TAKE A PAY CUT TO GO WORK
FOR SOME OTHER EGOMANIAC,

WHO ALSO HUMILIATES
AND TERRORIZES YOU.

WHAT IS THIS THING
THAT BOSSES HAVE OVER YOU ?
FEAR.

THEY WORK US THROUGH FEAR.
THEY KEEP US TERRIFIED
OF LOSING OUR STATUS.

LOSE YOUR STATUS
AND YOU'RE FUCKED.

WHY ARE YOU ALL
SO OBSESSED WITH STATUS ?
BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR ARMOR.

WHAT EVERYONE THINKS OF YOU
IS WHAT DETERMINES
YOUR SURVIVAL.

THAT'S STRANGE, COMING FROM
A COP. YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW
THAT ACTUALLY HAS ARMOR.

BUT I'M A NAKED COP.
UNDERCOVER. JUST WAITING
FOR THE MOMENT I'M DISCOVERED.

- AND THEN I WON'T BE ABLE
TO PULL MY GUN FAST ENOUGH.

LUCK.
AND RETIREMENT.

THAT WOULD BE--
- THE HOLY FUCKING GRAIL !

LET ME--
LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

DOCTOR,
WANNA HAVE A LOOK ?

OCEAN VIEWS, SERVANTS,
ALL UTILITIES--
WOW !

WHAT IS THIS ?
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

SIX HUNDRED A MONTH.
WHAT LANGUAGE DO
THESE PEOPLE SPEAK ?

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ?
THIS IS PARADISE !

SO WHERE ARE WE GOING TONIGHT ?
TOFU BURGERS, MEDITATION ?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ?
I DON'T KNOW.

- YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU WANT ?
- NO, I GUESS I DON'T.

WELL,
FORTUNATELY I DO.

YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR A GREAT PIECE OF ASS
AND THE SECRET TO ETERNAL BLISS.

HOW'D YOU GUESS ?
I'M YOUR MAN.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ?
AH, RELAX.
IT'S AN ADVENTURE.

I DON'T LIKE ADVENTURES.

YOU LIKE CHAMPAGNE ?
IT GIVES ME GAS.

WE'LL DRINK IT OUTSIDE.

WOW !
THIS IS ALL YOURS ?
HUH ? NO.

SHOULD BE,
BUT IT'S NOT.

GEEZ,
WHAT'S THAT SMELL ?

OH, MANURE.
I'M MAKING A GARDEN.

THANKS.
UM, LISTEN,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET ME
TAKE YOU TO DINNER ?

OH, THERE'S GONNA BE
PLENTY OF TIME TO EAT.

GOTTA HAVE US A LITTLE
FOREPLAY FIRST, THOUGH.
OH, I LIKE FOREPLAY.

YEAH ? WELL, WE GOT US
SOME REALLY SEXY TOYS
FLOATIN' AROUND HERE.

THIS IS YOUR IDEA
OF FOREPLAY ?
ABSOLUTELY.

SEE, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS WE'RE GONNA WORK ALL
THE COW SHIT IN THE MUD,

THEN WE'RE GONNA GRADE IT,
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA...

HAVE YOU TAKE THIS
PHALLIC LITTLE GIZMO
RIGHT HERE...

AND PLUNGE IT
INTO THE WET SOIL...

WHILE I FOLLOW YOU
WITH SEEDS AND SPRINKLE
IT IN THE HOLES.

ARE YOU SERIOUS ?
ABSOLUTELY.

WHY DON'T YOU
ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES
AND GRAB A SHOVEL ?

OKAY, OKAY.

OH !

I THOUGHT YOU WERE FIXING THIS,
AND I TURNED IT ON.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT--

NO ! NO !

NO ! NO !

AH-HA !
GOT YA.

CAN'T GROW
A FUCKIN' TOMATO.

LEAVE ME ALONE,
WILL YOU, PLEASE, GLORIA ?

CAN'T YOU SEE THIS
IS IMPORTANT TO ME ?

YOU WANT TOMATOES,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRETEND
YOU'RE SOME OLD WORLD GUINEA.

GO TO THE STORE
AND BUY TOMATOES.

THEY GOT JERSEY BEEFSTEAKS,
88 CENTS A POUND.

I DON'T WANT TO BUY 'EM.
I WANT TO GROW MY OWN.

IN HIS FUCKIN' GARDEN.

COME ON. TURN RED,
YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD.

CHARLIE, LISTEN TO ME.
I REALLY WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

MY FATHER
LOVES WASHING MONEY
ON WALL STREET, RIGHT ?

BUT IF THAT PSYCHO LOWLIFE
PULLS ANYTHING IN THERE,

YOU DUCK,
'CAUSE THE BULLETS
ARE GONNA BE FLYING.

SHUT UP AND JUST PRAY
THIS GOES WELL.

CHARLIE MAYO
AND ASSOCIATES
TO SEE MR. KING.

GO RIGHT IN.
THEY'RE EXPECTING YOU.

- GOOD MORNING.
- HEY ! GUYS !
GREAT TO SEE YOU.

SO, WE READY
TO PLAY THE BIG SPIN ?

WOW, LOOK AT ALL
THOSE CUTE LITTLE BOYS,
TUCKED IN THEIR--

IS THIS REALLY
TEN MILLION ?
IT'S TWO.

- THE AGREEMENT
WAS $10 MILLION !
- CHANGED IT.

I WANTED TO SEE
WHAT YOU GUYS CAN
DO WITH IT, BUT, UH--

- IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
WE CAN JUST GO HOME.

WHAT THE FUCK ?
HEY !

TWO MILLION'S
A LOT OF MONOPOLY MONEY.
LET'S PLAY WITH IT...

AND SEE IF WE'RE ALL HAPPY--
THAT'S REASONABLE, RIGHT ?

HEY ! TWO MILLION'S FINE.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU.

YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT
THE MARKET'S DOING TODAY.
MAY I ?

EXCUSE ME, JASON.

- AGENTS KOHLER AND HARRIS
FROM THE S.E.C. ARE HERE.

STOP, STOP.
THIS IS ROUTINE.

THE S.E.C. IS REQUIRED TO
CHECK ON NEW INVESTMENT HOUSES
WITHIN 90 DAYS OF FILING.

THESE GUYS
ARE JUST ACCOUNTANTS.
I CAN HANDLE THIS.

I CAN HANDLE THIS.

- I'LL GO OUT
AND TALK TO THEM.
- NO.

THEY'RE GONNA WANNA COME IN
AND SEE THE OPERATION.
INVITE THEM IN.

GENTLEMEN,
PUT THE GUNS AWAY.

INVITE THEM IN.
THE GUYS ARE JUST ACCOUNTANTS.

PUT AWAY THE GUNS,
PLEASE ?

INVITE THEM IN !

UH, SEND THEM IN, MYRNA.

GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU ?

AGENT KOHLER
WITH THE S.E.C.
THIS IS AGENT HARRIS.

WE'RE HERE TO CONDUCT
A SPOT AUDIT.
NO PROBLEM.

JASON, WOULD YOU
BRING THE BOOKS ?
GENTLEMEN.

UH, F.D.I.C.S.
FORMS.

- NO, WE'RE FINE, THANKS.

YOUR F.D.I.C. REPORT SHOWS
YOU AREN'T HOLDING ENOUGH CASH
TO COVER THE STOCK ISSUED.

BUT THERE SEEMS
TO BE NO SHORTAGE
OF CASH AROUND HERE.

WOULD YOU EXPLAIN
THIS TO US ?

WE JUST CONVERTED THIS CASH
FOR SOME OFFSHORE PURCHASES.

DO YOU HAVE
A C.T.R. EXEMPTION ?

RIGHT HERE.
EXCUSE ME.

I'VE GOT A LOT TO SHARE.
WE DID OUR FIRST DEAL TODAY.
IT WAS TERRIFYING.

ALMOST TURNED
INTO A BLOODBATH.

THE S.E.C. WALKED RIGHT IN
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
I THOUGHT I WAS A DEAD MAN,

BUT THE WEIRD THING IS...

ALL I REALLY
WANNA TALK ABOUT IS THIS
AMAZING WOMAN I MET.

- AH-HA !
- I MET AN AMAZING WOMAN.

- GIVE US DETAILS, CHARLIE.
DID YOU SCORE ?

HER NAME IS JUDY. I MET HER
AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
SHE GAVE ME A BARIUM ENEMA.

YOU COULD
CALL THAT SCORING.

NO, SERIOUSLY.
SHE'S GREAT. SHE TOOK ME OUT
ON A DATE LAST NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW.
FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN MONTHS, I HAD FUN.

WOW, WHAT'S THAT LIKE ?
- THAT'S EXCELLENT, CHARLIE.

- NO. NO.

BUT I'M THINKING
OF TELLING HER.

HEY, CHARLIE.
GOT SOME ACCOUNTING TO DO.

I DON'T WANT TALK.
I DON'T WANT PROMISES.

I DON'T CARE IF THAT BOY
HAD A MOTHER WHO LOVED HIM.
I WANT MONEY AND LOTS OF IT.

OR EVERYTHING
GOES TO SHIT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY.

SHUT THE FUCK UP !
I KNOW THE KIND OF CASH
THAT'S FLOATIN' AROUND--

FUCKIN' WRONG ANSWER.
LITTLE RAT SHOWED UP.

YEAH, YEAH.
LIKE I SAY, HE--

HE WANTED IN ON THE DEAL.
WELL, I THINK WARREN
MISSED THE BOAT.

H'M ?
WHO'S THAT ?
I'LL EXPLAIN LATER.

COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

CHARLIE,
THE GUY'S A FED.

DID YOU TAKE HIM OUT ?

YEAH, HE WAS WITH WARREN.
COME ON.
CAR'S OVER HERE.

I BET YOU WAS WONDERIN'
WHAT I WAS DOIN' BACK THERE
WHEN GANZA JUMPED YA.

I FIGURED YOU WERE COMING
TO BLOW MY HEAD OFF...

AND RESENTED WARREN
GETTIN' THERE FIRST.

YOU A FUNNY GUY.

WELL, NOW, WHAT I WAS DOIN'--
I WAS COMIN' BY YOUR HOTEL
TO BUY YOU A DRINK.

TO TELL YOU, YOU DID
A VERY SMOOTH JOB WITH THOSE
S.E.C. BOYS THIS MORNING.

NO SHIT.
I COULD SEE WHY CHEEMO
THOUGHT SO HIGHLY OF YA.

THANKS.

YOU EVER BEEN
TO NEW YORK BEFORE ?

PASSED THROUGH A COUPLE
OF TIMES. NEVER ACTUALLY
SPENT ANY TIME HERE.

IT AIN'T LIKE
IT USED TO BE.

YOU EVER BEEN TO ITALY ?
UH-UH.

MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

I AIN'T BEEN THERE EITHER.

I GOT A LOT
OF PICTURES, THOUGH.

I CHANGED PLANES
IN ROME ONCE.

NO SHIT ?

IT MUST HAVE
BEEN GREAT, HUH ?
THE AIRPORT WAS VERY NICE.

I GOT OUT TO GET A SNACK.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WAS
WRITTEN IN ITALIAN.

I WAS STANDING IN LINE
BEHIND THIS GUY WHO
ORDERED SOME "CREE-CREE."

I SAW THAT HE GOT
A BAG OF CHIPS.

SO, WHEN IT WAS MY TURN,
I SAID, "CREE-CREE."
GOT MY CHIPS.

"CREE
FOR POTATO CHIPS ?

NO SHIT.
I GOTTA REMEMBER THAT.
I THINK THEY SPELL IT...

"C-R-I-S-C-R-I-S,"
BUT IT'S PRONOUNCED
"CREE-CREE."

NATCH.
ALL THE LATIN LANGUAGES
ARE LIKE THAT.

"I" IS ALWAYS AN "E."

AND YOU DROP
THE LAST CONSONANT.

DO ANY SOUVENIR SHOPPING
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT ?
YEAH.

BEAUTIFUL LEATHER GOODS.
YEAH.
LIKE BUTTER.

CHARLIE, YOU SOUND LIKE
A FUCKIN' BROKEN RECORD.
WE'RE NOT PULLING YOU.

AS FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED,
WITH WARREN GANZA OUT OF
THE PICTURE, THIS DEAL IS CLEAR.

HE KILLED JUNIPER, LONNY.
NOBODY LIKES TO LOSE
A BROTHER OFFICER, MAN.

BUT IT GOES WITH THE JOB.
WE DON'T PULL AN INVESTIGATION
BECAUSE A GOOD GUY GOT KILLED.

WE GO OUT AND GET THE FUCKERS !
HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET
THE FUCKERS THAT KILL ME ?

[ Door Opens,
Closes ]

WE'RE ALL PRETTY
RILED UP ABOUT JUNIPER.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
IN THIS DEPARTMENT...

IS STANDING
RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP ?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU,
DEXTER. NOT TOO GREAT.

ACTUALLY, I'M ON MY WAY
TO THE TOP FLOOR JUST
TO THROW MYSELF OFF.

HOW'S THE VIEW
UP THERE ?

IT'S TOUGH
TO LOSE A COMRADE.

I'M GLAD YOU'VE STILL GOT
A SENSE OF HUMOR, THOUGH.

IT'S HEALTHY.

HEY, YOU.
HOW'RE YOU DOING ?
HI.

GOOD.
YEAH ?

LISTEN, JUDY. THERE'S
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, TELL ME
WHILE WE'RE WALKING.
BEAUTIFUL DAY.

* IT'S MORE THAN TROUBLE

* I'VE GOT MYSELF INTO

* NOTHING BUT SAD TIMES

* NOTHING BUT SAD TIMES

* NOT OF A POCKET

* ALL LINED WITH COAL

* NOBODY'S CAUGHT
THE BOUQUET *

* AND NO DEAD PRESIDENTS

* WE CAN FOLD

* NOTHING IS GOIN' MY WAY

* IT'S MORE THAN WOEBEGOTTEN

* GREY SKIES OF OLD
THAT'S WHY I
CAN'T SLEEP. I'M POPPING PILLS.

I CAN'T CONTROL MY BOWELS.
I'M A WRECK.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE SEEN YOU SHUT UP.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
I THINK I HAVE A GREAT PARABLE
FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THERE WAS THIS BUDDHIST MONK,
AND HE WAS JUST WALKING
THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS,

WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE
THIS TIGER APPEARS...

AND JUST CHASES HIM
TO THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF.

SO THE MONK CLIMBS
OVER THE SIDE, WHERE HE SEES
FIFTEEN FEET BELOW HIM...

FIVE OTHER TIGERS
JUST WAITING TO EAT HIM.

SO THE MONK IS JUST
HANGING THERE, HOLDING ON
TO THE LITTLE SHRUB,

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
HE NOTICES THE STRAWBERRY.

AND HE SMILES.
AND HE SAYS, "WOW !

WHAT A PERFECT STRAWBERRY."

SO HE PICKS IT,
AND HE EATS IT.

AND ?
THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT ?
MM-H'M.

THE MONK'S ABOUT
TO BE EATEN BY TIGERS, AND
HE STOPS TO EAT A STRAWBERRY.

WHAT THE HELL'S
IT SUPPOSED TO MEAN ?
IT MEANS...

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE
EVERY SECOND WE'RE ALIVE.

COME ON.
EVERYBODY'S ALIVE
WHEN THEY'RE ALIVE.

NO, NOT IF YOU'RE
CONSUMED BY FEAR.
COME ON. LOOK AT YOU.

YOU WERE ABOUT TO BE
EATEN BY TIGERS, AND TWICE
THE GODS SAVED YOU.

NOW, ARE YOU RUNNING AROUND
GRINNING LIKE YOU'RE
THE LUCKIEST GUY IN THE WORLD ?

NO, YOU'RE
POPPING TRANQUILIZERS
AND SHITTING IN YOUR PANTS.

AHOY THERE !

YOU GENTLEMEN READY FOR A
"DOW IS UP, LIFE IS SWEET" ALOHA
CRUISE AROUND THE HARBOR ?

-IT'S A LITTLE CHILLY.
-WELL, JASON'S GONNA MAKE YOU
FEEL ALL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE.

COME ABOARD, GENTLEMEN.
COME ON, GUYS !

CHAMPAGNE, GENTLEMEN ?

OKAY. OKAY.
I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
THAT THIS MORNING,

TRANSCONTINENTAL INVESTMENTS
ACQUIRED 800,000 CONTRACTS
IN SOYBEAN FUTURES.

I WOULD LIKE
TO PROPOSE A TOAST TO
MY FELLOW BEAN TYCOONS.

- MM.

YOU BOUGHT $2 MILLION
WORTH OF BEANS ? THIS
IS A JOKE, RIGHT ?

NO, I WOULD NOT PLAY WITH YOU,
FIDEL. WE CURRENTLY OWN TWO
PERCENT OF THE SOYBEAN MARKET.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR
FUCKIN' MIND ? DO YOU THINK
I'M GONNA TELL MY FATHER...

THAT I SPENT TWO MILLION
OF HIS DOLLARS
TO BUY FUCKIN' BEANS ?

I MIGHT AS WELL SHAVE MY HEAD
AND JOIN THE FUCKIN' DALAI
LAMA.
NO, NO, NO. DUMP IT.

THEY'RE NOT BEANS.
THEY'RE SOYBEANS. THEY USE IT
TO MAKE TOFU. IT'S VERY TRENDY.

I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE SOY,
LIMA, KIDNEY, CANNELLINI, HEINZ,
FAVA OR GREAT NORTHERN,

YOU DO NOT LET MY FATHER
THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT
YOU'RE CALLING HIM A BEANER.

- FIDEL--
- YOU UNLOAD THE BEANS AND GIVE
US BACK THE MONEY BY TOMORROW.

WE'LL GET KILLED IF I TRY
TO UNLOAD THIS TOMORROW.
WE'LL LOSE AT LEAST 50%.

WHAT ABOUT OUR END ?
YOU GONNA COVER IT ?
FIDEL, HE'S GOT A POINT.

CHARLIE, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
WITH ME ON THIS.

GET THIS SHIT-FOR-BRAINS
TO COVER YOUR END OF IT.

I'M NOT TELLIN' MY DON
WE'RE WASHIN' YOUR CASH
FOR FREE.

WELL, YOU FUCKIN' GUINEAS
WANNA GO TO WAR WITH US
OVER $300,000 ? COME ON.

US GUINEAS ? WHAT ABOUT
YOU FUCKIN' COLOMBIANS ?
MINUTE YOU DON'T GET YOUR WAY,

IT'S OUT WITH THE FUCKIN' UZIS--
WHOO, WHOO, WHOO.

- WE CAN
HANDLE THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW.
- COME ON, PANCHO. LET'S GO.

- COME ON.

- STOP. STOP THIS
MACHO DICK THING !

I DON'T CARE WHOSE GUINEA,
MICK, PETER, COCK IS BIGGER !
I'M HERE TO MAKE MONEY !

FIDEL,
NOBODY WAS LOOKING
TO INSULT YOUR FAMILY.

-IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE.
RIGHT, JASON ?
-I SWEAR. IT WAS THE BEST DEAL.

I HAD NO IDEA
THE COLOMBIANS WERE SENSITIVE
TO THE BEAN ISSUE.

- I THOUGHT
IT WAS JUST THE MEXICANS.
- THAT'S ENOUGH, JASON.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND, FIDEL ?
IT WAS A MISTAKE.

- LOOK WHAT THIS FUCKER
IS DOING TO MY PEOPLE.
- FUCKING GUY WENT FOR ME.

- YOU SHOT HIS BALL OFF !
- STOP. STOP THIS.
- COME ON. COME ON.

PLEASE. WE'LL WORK IT OUT.
FIDEL--

I AM NOT TAKING BEANS
TO MY FATHER !

I SAID WE'LL WORK IT OUT.
BUT IF WE DO, ARE WE STILL
IN BUSINESS ?

ALL RIGHT. FIRST,
YOU GOTTA DUMP THE BEANS.

MY FATHER, HE'S OLD WORLD.
HE'S VERY SENSITIVE.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
WE DON'T EVEN EAT BEANS.

- NOT EVEN, LIKE,
A TUSCAN BEAN SALAD ?
- JASON, SHUT UP.

WHAT ?
- BELIEVE ME, FIDEL. NOBODY
WANTS TO INSULT YOUR FAMILY.

WE WANNA MAKE YOU HAPPY.
WE DUMP THE BEANS.

OKAY ?

OKAY.

BUT THIS GUY
HAS GOTTA STOP
WASTING MY ASSOCIATES.

YOU KNOW, I CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE
COMING HOME WITH MISSING BALLS
AND FUCKING CRACKED HEADS.

ALL RIGHT ?
DONE.

FULVIO, I WANT YOU TO
GET CONTROL OF THAT ANGER.

WE'VE GOT MONEY
TO MAKE.

- WE HAVE GOT A BIG PROBLEM.
- IT'S A SMALL PROBLEM,
NOTHIN' WE CAN'T HANDLE.

THE YUPPIE BROKER
BOUGHT INTO THE BEAN MARKET,
AND NOW FIDEL'S INSULTED.

DID I MISS SOMETHING ?
WHY IS HE INSULTED ?

FIDEL FEELS LIKE
WE'RE MAKIN' FUN OF HIM
BECAUSE SPICS EAT BEANS.

IT'S LIKE BEING BLACK,
AND HAVING SOMEBODY BUY INTO
THE WATERMELON MARKET FOR YOU.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM BUYING
INTO OLIVE OIL. THAT'S
A CULTURAL STEREOTYPE.

YES, CARMINE, BUT ONLY
IF YOU MAKE THAT CHOICE
YOURSELF.

SO VAILLAR IS READY
TO BLOW THIS APART
OVER A PERCEIVED INSULT ?

- WE CAN HOLD THIS TOGETHER.
- LET'S PUT SOME INDICTMENTS
TOGETHER AND GET OUT NOW.

- GET OUT NOW.
- WE'VE GOT THEIR TWO MILLION.
- COLOMBIANS ARE MONEY MACHINES.

- TWO MILLION IS NOTHIN'.
- IT'S GETTIN' TOO MESSY.

WHACK THE COLOMBIAN
AND KEEP HIS TWO MILL.

LET'S GO FOR THE BUST NOW.
THIS THING IS FALLING APART.

THIS GUY CHARLIE'S REAL SMART.
HE CAN HOLD THIS TOGETHER
FOR A BIG PAY-OUT.

THIS FULVIO'S FUCKING NUTS.
THERE'S NO WAY I CAN
HOLD THIS TOGETHER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

WE STAY.

- FUCK 'EM. LET'S STAY.

THERE'S JUST
MAYBE ONE LITTLE TINY GLITCH.

CAN YOU COVER ANY LOSS WE
HAVE TO MAKE UP IF JASON TAKES
A BEATING IN THE MARKETPLACE ?

- NO WAY.
- NO CHANCE.

- NO PROBLEM.
- DIDN'T THINK SO.

YEAH, YEAH.
I'M COMIN'.

GREAT NEWS.
CAN I COME IN ?
SURE.

NICE PLACE, CHARLIE.
YOU TRAVEL IN STYLE.

THANKS.
WH

JASON UNLOADED THE BEANS.
HOW MUCH OF A HIT
DID WE TAKE ?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
BELIEVE THIS: 20%.

WHAT ?
DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT IS ABOUT THESE IVY LEAGUE,
WALL STREET PREPPY SCUMBAGS.

THEY KNOW HOW TO MOVE THE MONEY.
HE PASSES OFF THE LOSSES
ONTO HIS OTHER CLIENTS.

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE.
ISN'T IT ?

HE SHOVES 'EM ALL
IN ON THE DEAL. NINETY DAYS,
WHEN THE OPTIONS ARE DUE,

THE STUPID LITTLE BASTARDS
BE DIVIN' OUT THE WINDOW.

GEEZ.

IT'S A FUCKIN' PALACE,
CHARLIE.

H'M. I TELL YOU,
THAT LITTLE FUCKIN' FIDEL...

BETTER BE KISSIN' OUR ASSES
WITH COLOMBIAN GRATITUDE.

WE SQUIRMED THROUGH
THE SHIT HOOP FOR
THAT LITTLE BEANO FREAK, HUH ?

YEAH, WELL, I HOPE SO,
BUT, YOU KNOW,
FIDEL'S A--

WELL, HE'S
A VERY DIFFICULT GUY
TO PLEASE.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.
WIND CHANGES, HE GOES BAT-SHIT.

NO CONTROL OVER HIS TEMPER
WHATSOEVER.

THAT'S TRUE.
HE DOES HAVE A BAD TEMPER,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I'D--

THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT
TO BE EXTRA CALM--

TO MAKE UP FOR
HIS LACK OF SELF-CONTROL.

I THINK WE'VE BEEN DOIN'
A PRETTY GOOD JOB
IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

YEAH, FOR THE MOST PART,

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK
HE'S STILL A LITTLE UPSET
ABOUT YOU MAIMING HIS BODYGUARD.

A LITTLE.
CHARLIE,

YOU LET A GUY MAKE FUN
OF YOUR PROSTATE,
WHERE ARE YA ?

*
IT'S LIKE A TEMPLE.

THAT'S THE DREAM:
SURVIVE THIS INSANITY
AND RETIRE TO A PURE LIFE.

WOW.

LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.

- THAT'S THE GUY
WHO'S GONNA KILL ME.

WHERE ?

[ Jason Speaking,
Indistinct ]

BULLSHIT. OOH.
LOOK AT THIS.

HUH ?
HIS PARTNER'S HERE TOO.

HOW DOES YOUR, UH--
IT KIND OF HURTS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER ?
THERE'S MORE OF THEM.

THERE'S MORE OF THEM ?
ARE YOU SURE ?
YOU THINK I'M BEING PARANOID.

THE COLOMBIAN AND HIS BODYGUARD
ARE RIGHT THERE.
CHARLIE, THIS IS CRAZY.

LOOK. A NORMAL PERSON
IN A NORMAL SITUATION,
YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT
CONSEQUENCES THAT THE NORMAL
PERSON DOESN'T HAVE TO FACE.

- IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
I'M DEAD.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT,

BECAUSE THINGS ARE CONSTANTLY
GOING WRONG FOR YOU, AND THEY
ALWAYS TURN OUT OKAY.

BUT THE ODDS SAY EVENTUALLY
I'M GONNA PULL A BAD HAND.

AND SOMEBODY'S GONNA CALL ME,
AND I'M GONNA GET SMOKED !
CHARLIE, YOUR FEAR IS A MAGNET.

ALL THIS STUFF THAT
YOU'RE RUNNING FROM IS JUST
GONNA SHOW UP EVEN BIGGER.

FINE.
LET IT SHOW UP LATER.

[ Police Siren,
Distant ]

PHEW. DODGED
ANOTHER BULLET, HUH ?

LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING ?
H'M ?

YOU--

LET'S GET SOMETHING TO EAT.
I'M STARVED.

OKAY. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,
THE CLIMATE--

- THIS IS AMAZING !
DON'T TELL ME.

- YOU WERE AT THE HOME SHOW TOO.
- YEAH.

AND WE ALL PICKED THIS PLACE
TO EAT. INTERTWINING DESTINIES.
JASON.

JUDY.
JUDY. JUDY THE BEAUTY.
COME. JOIN US.

NO.
NO, NO, NO. I INSIST.
PLEASE. LOOK WHO'S HERE.

EVERYBODY,
THIS IS JUDY.
HI.

HAVE A SEAT.
HAVE A SEAT.
THERE'S NO ROOM.

NO, NO, PLEASE. PLEASE.
DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

KEN, TWO MORE SET-UPS
ON SEVEN. DRINKS ?

I-I'LL GET IT.
ARMAND.
HI.

- THE GUY FROM MY
GROUP THERAPY'S HERE.

JUST REMEMBER:
THE GODS LIKE YOU.

THIS PLACE HAS
A BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI THAT
MUST BE TASTED BEFORE DEATH.

LET ME GET YOU SOME.
ARMAND, TWO MORE PLATES
OF THE RAVIOLI.

- OH, AND A BOWL OF STRAWBERRIES
FOR MY FRIEND, PLEASE.

SO, WHAT WAS
YOUR FAVORITE SETTING ?

WE REALLY LOVED
THE MOORISH VILLA.
AH, VERY ROMANTIC.

A FULL MOON OVER MARAKESH,
A HOOKAH FULL OF HASHISH AND
THE DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH. I'M
INTO CONTEMPORARY, YOU KNOW ?

PEOPLE GET TOO SENTIMENTAL
ABOUT THE CLASSICS. THERE'S
NO REASON TO BELIEVE...

THAT THINGS AREN'T
JUST AS GOOD TODAY
AS 200 YEARS AGO.

WE'RE JUST MADE TO THINK
THAT EVERYTHING NEW IS SHIT.

- EVERYTHING NEW IS SHIT.
- FULVIO HATES ANYTHING THAT'S
NOT 2,000 YEARS OLD.

WELL, THEN,
YOU MUST'VE REALLY LOVED
THE SICILIAN FARMHOUSE, HUH ?

IT WAS A MASTERPIECE.
YEAH.

THERE'S A PHOTO EXHIBIT OF
THE AGRIGENTO RUINS AT THE MET
YOU SHOULD GO SEE.

- THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE RUINS.
CHARLIE ?

- THAT GIRL'S A GEM.
- I HAVE TO SAY THAT I'M PARTIAL
TO ROCOCO.

WELL, LET'S FACE IT.
IT'S ALL GREAT. I MEAN,
IT WAS THE BEST OF EVERYTHING,

THE DISNEY WORLD
OF GLOBAL HOME DESIGN.

- I-I-I--

- JESUS.

HEY, HEY !
HEY, HEY, HEY !

LET HIM GO ! LET HIM GO !
HELP ! SOMEBODY HELP !

GET OFF HIM !
GET--
IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

HONEY. HELP !
SOMEBODY HELP !
DON'T START WITH ME.

STOP IT !
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ?
LISTEN. LISTEN.

I'M A FRIEND OF ELLIOTT'S.
HE'LL EXPLAIN LATER.
NOW, DON'T WORRY.

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE CHECK.

SIR, YOU'D BETTER LEAVE
RIGHT NOW, OR I'LL HAVE
TO CALL THE POLICE.

I'M SORRY FOR THE DISTURBANCE.
HE'S ACTUALLY A FRIEND OF MINE.

I'LL PAY FOR HIS BILL
AND ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.
OKAY ? THANKS.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ?

HE WAS
MOUTHING OBSCENITIES AT MY DATE
RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS WIFE.

I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT.
SCUMBAG SON OF A BITCH.

HEY, LISTEN.
LET'S HAVE A DRINK AT THE BAR,
TALK A LITTLE BUSINESS, HUH ?

THE GIRLS'LL BE FINE.
COME ON. YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU ALL RIGHT ?

SMOKE ?

NO.

FIDEL, JASON AND FULVIO
WANNA TALK ABOUT ANOTHER MOVE.

I DON'T KNOW. LAST ONE
WAS PRETTY SCREWY.

THEY CLEANED OUR TWO MILL,
JUST LIKE THEY SAID THEY COULD.

AND WE
SWALLOWED OUR TAKE.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND ?
I'M PROPOSING
THAT WE BUY THE MARKET.

IF WE CAN CONTROL
OVER A THIRD OF A COMMODITY,
WE CAN PRICE FIX.

WHAT'S IT GONNA COST
TO BUY THE MARKET ?

WE'D NEED TO PUT OUT
ABOUT 40 MILLION.

YOU WANT ME
TO PUT UP $40 MILLION ?

- I WONDER WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS
THEY'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

- THEY'RE LAUNDERIN' MONEY.

CUTE COLOMBIAN AND HIS BOYFRIEND
WITH THE BLACK EYE, THEY
REPRESENT A BIG DRUG CARTEL.

THEY'RE LOOKIN' TO INVEST
BILLIONS IN WALL STREET, AND
YOUR BOYFRIEND'S SETTIN' IT UP.

- WOW. HOW EXCITING.
- YEAH, WELL, FULVIO WILL FUCK
THE WHOLE THING UP. TRUST
ME.

- HE'S OUT OF HIS LEAGUE.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THE BRAINS
OR THE SELF-CONTROL TO PULL
ANYTHING LIKE THIS OFF.

HE'S PRETENDIN'.
HAVE A LITTLE FAITH
IN HIM.

FAITH IN FULVIO ? HE'S A LOSER.
HIS BIG AMBITION'S TO BE
A GARDENER LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER,

BUT THE FUCKIN' MORON
CAN'T EVEN GROW A TOMATO.

YOU EVER HEAR OF AN ITALIAN
WHO CAN'T GROW A TOMATO ?

- I REST MY CASE.
WHICH WAY IS THE JOHN ?
- OH.

- MUST BE GOING
THROUGH A DOWN PHASE.
- SEEMS THAT WAY.

- I'LL PUT IN 20 MILLION
IF YOU MATCH IT.
- NO FUCKIN' WAY.

FIDEL, THEY ARE SUPPLYING
THE SET-UP. THEY DON'T
NEED THEIR MONEY LAUNDERED.

EVERYBODY NEEDS
THEIR MONEY CLEANED, RIGHT ?

BESIDES, THIS IS SUCH
A GREAT DEAL-- IT'S GONNA
PROVIDE SO MUCH PROFIT--

I SAY COUNT ME IN FOR HALF. I
THINK THAT'S VERY REASONABLE.

CHARLIE, WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE ?
FUCKIN' SANTA CLAUS ? WHERE
AM I GONNA GET $20 MILLION ?

- DO I LOOK
LIKE FUCKIN' SANTA CLAUS ?
- LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT IT.

GO AHEAD. TALK ABOUT IT.
GET BACK TO ME.

COME ON.

YOU STILL THINK
THE GODS LOVE ME ?

WELL, YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.

YEAH, THAT WAS BECAUSE
I PUNCHED OUT POOR ELLIOTT.

OH, GOD.
HERE.

WHAT IS THIS ?
DON'T ASK.

MM
I GUESS THIS IS GOOD FOR ME,
RIGHT ?

MM-H'M.
OH.

OHH. SO WHAT'D YOU THINK
OF THE DEATH SQUAD ?
I DON'T KNOW.

THEY SEEMED FAIRLY NORMAL.
"FAIRLY NORMAL" ? YOU THOUGHT
FULVIO WAS FAIRLY NORMAL ?

HE SHOT ESTUVIO'S BALL OFF.

OOH.
HE JUST SEEMS--
HE JUST SEEMS VERY UNHAPPY.

I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
DID YOU GET A LOAD OF HIS WIFE ?

MM-H'M. SHE SEEMS
PRETTY UNHAPPY TOO.
YEAH ?

SHE DIDN'T HAPPEN TO
MENTION FULVIO'S ACHILLES HEEL ?

TOMATOES.
TOMATOES ?

MM-H'M.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ?

I'LL GET IT.

HELLO ?
THIS ONE.

HELLO ?

WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU NEED ME FOR ?

I NEED YOU TO EXPLAIN THE DEAL.
YOU'RE BETTER AT THOSE THINGS
THAN ME.

I AM NOT GONNA EXPLAIN IT
TO YOUR DON.
OH, YES, YOU ARE.

NO, I'M NOT.

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ME.
WHY THE HELL WOULD HE
PUT UP 20 MILL...

ON THE WORD
OF A TOTAL STRANGER ?

PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

FULVIO TELLS ME
YOU'RE A VERY SMART FELLER.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW SMART IT IS...

TO ASK CARMINE MINNETTI
TO PUT UP 20 MILL
FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH.

BUT YOU TELL ME.

- IT'S NOT VERY SMART, SIR.
- HE'S JUST KIDDIN'.
RIGHT, CHARLIE ?

- SHUT UP, FULVIO.
KEEP TALKIN', CHARLIE.
- NOTHIN' TO SAY.

ANYTIME YOU
PUT UP THAT KIND OF MONEY,
YOU'RE TAKIN' A BIG CHANCE.

WELL, IF BUYING UP
A THIRD OF THE MARKET...

MEANS IT'S THAT EASY
TO PRICE FIX, WOULDN'T MORE GUYS
BE DOIN' IT ?

- BUT, YOU KNOW, WALL STREET
TRADERS DO IT EVERY DAY--
- I SAID SHUT UP, FULVIO.

- TELL ME WHAT COULD GO WRONG.
- FIRST OF ALL, WE'VE GOTTA
PUT THE 40 MILL TOGETHER...

AND MAKE SURE
NO LITTLE THINGS FUCK UP.

YOU KNOW,
A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP GOES BAD.

SOMEBODY GETS GREEDY AND
DECIDES
TO RUN WITH THE CASH.

THEN WE HAVE
TO MANIPULATE THE MARKET...

WITHOUT THE S.E.C. CATCHING WIND
OF WHAT WE'RE DOING,
WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE,

BECAUSE ONCE YOU BUY UP
A THIRD OF THE MARKET,
THEY'RE GONNA KNOW.

AND THEY'RE GONNA
BE SNIFFIN' UP OUR RECTUMS
FOR UNPLEASANT AROMAS.

I LIKE YOU, CHARLIE.
AT LEAST YOU DON'T TRY
TO BULLSHIT ME.

I'M GONNA THINK ABOUT THIS.
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

JUST KEEP THE PHONE ON.

THAT'S THE WAY
YOU HELP ME ?

I TAKE YOU
TO MEET THE CHIEF,
AND YOU QUEER THE DEAL !

WE DON'T KNOW
THAT THE DEAL IS QUEERED.
WAIT FOR THE CALL.

YOU TOLD HIM NOT TO DO IT !
YOU TOLD HIM A THOUSAND THINGS
COULD GO WRONG.

I WANTED
TO ESTABLISH SOME TRUST.
TRUST ?

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO SWEET TALK 'IM,
USE A LITTLE SALESMANSHIP !

YOU PRACTICALLY TOLD HIM
RUN FOR THE HILLS
AND HOLD ONTO HIS BALLS !

I WAS USING REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY.
WE DON'T WANNA APPEAR TOO EAGER.
TOO EAGER !

I AM FUCKIN' EAGER !
I WANT OUT OF THIS SHIT !

I'M SICK OF BEIN'
A FUCKIN' CLICHE.
I NEED SOME CASH...

SO I CAN GET OUT
OF THIS FUCKIN' GUINEA
GANGSTER MOVIE LIFESTYLE !

Y-YOU DON'T LIKE
BEIN' A THUG ?
I FUCKIN' HATE IT !

JESUS. FULVIO,
I-- I NEVER WOULD'VE--

YOU'RE SO GOOD
AT FUCKING PEOPLE UP.
I THOUGHT YOU LOVED YOUR WORK.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
NOBODY KNOWS ME.

YEAH.
I'M SORRY, MAN. UM,

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

HOW COULD YOU KNOW
HOW I FEEL ?

EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT
FOR YOU.

DEXTER, I DON'T KNOW.
I WASN'T COUNTIN' ON
PLAYIN' WITH MY OWN MONEY.

TWENTY MILLION WOULD
LEAVE ME SERIOUSLY EXPOSED.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS SHOW 'EM THE 20 MILL.

THEY SHOW US THEIRS.
I POP 'EM ALL.

WE LEAVE A COUPLE MILLION
AT THE CRIME SCENE,
POCKET THE REST.

ONE DAY'S WORK:
$18 MILLION.

JUST MAKE SURE
MY SON-IN-LAW ACCIDENTALLY
GETS KILLED IN THE PROCESS.

DONE.

WHY ARE YOU GOING TO
DO ANOTHER DEAL WITH THEM, HUH ?
AFTER ALL THAT THEY'VE DONE,

YOU ARE GOING
TO GIVE THEM $20 MILLION,
HUH ?

I'M NOT GONNA
GIVE THEM $20 MILLION. I'M
GOING TO SHOW THEM $20 MILLION.

THEN I'M GOING TO KILL
THAT FULVIO NESSTRA,

AND WE'RE GOING
TO TAKE HIS MONEY.

WHAT ABOUT CHARLIE ?

WE'LL KILL HIM TOO.
YOU FORGOT WHO BROUGHT HIM
TO THIS DANCE.

- DON'T LOOK AT IT.
- THEY'LL PAY FOR HURTING YOU,
MI VIDA.

MY LIFE IS SHIT, CHARLIE.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY
I'M ALWAYS READY
TO FUCK SOMEBODY UP.

YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE TIME
I'M JUST WALKIN' AROUND...

WAITIN' FOR SOMEBODY
TO SAY SOMETHING WRONG
JUST SO I CAN DO 'EM.

WHY ?
- I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE I GOT LOW SELF-ESTEEM
OR SOMETHIN'.

EVERYBODY I EVER KNEW
JUST TREATED ME LIKE
I WAS DOG SHIT,

EVEN MY FUCKIN' GRANDMOTHER.

COULD YOU BELIEVE AN ITALIAN
GRANDMA WOULD TREAT HER SWEET
LITTLE BAMBINO LIKE A HERPE ?

LISTEN, FULVIO.
EVERYBODY FEELS THAT.
EVERYBODY HAS SELF-DOUBT.

NOT YOU, MAN.
YOU DON'T EVEN FLINCH.

YOU'RE SO FUCKIN' COOL,
I STICK A GUN IN YOUR FACE,
YOU TAKE A FUCKIN' NAP.

SO DON'T TRY AND TELL ME YOU
GOT YOUR DOUBTS. I KNOW YOU'RE
JUST TRYIN' TO SAY THAT...

TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.

IF ONLY
SOMETHING WOULD CHANGE.

I KNOW LIFE COULD BE SWEET.
I COULD BE TOO.

I WANNA BE SWEET.

YES, DON CARMINE ?

EH ? YEAH.

HE'S GONNA DO IT.

- I JUST TRY TO GO
WITH THE FLOW.

THEY ARE
BRINGING $40 MILLION CASH.

IF NOW IS NOT THE TIME
TO MAKE THE BUST, WHEN IS ?
THE VAILLARS HAVE BILLIONS.

YOU POP 'EM FOR $40 MILLION;
IT'D BE LIKE ME STEALIN' A
QUARTER OUT OF YOUR POCKET.

WE CAN ALSO PUT FIDEL VAILLAR
AWAY. HE'S A MAJOR PLAYER.

PEDRO VAILLAR HAS TWELVE SONS.
HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT
ABOUT LOSING FIDEL.

HE DOESN'T EVEN
LIKE THE LITTLE FAG.
FIDEL'S GAY ?

- OH--
- NO.

I NEVER KNEW.
LISTEN, CHARLIE. YOU'RE
DOIN' A GREAT JOB ON THIS.

WE GOT ALL THE DEALS DOCUMENTED.
WE KNOW JUST WHERE
ALL THE CERTIFICATES ARE.

WE DRAIN THE VAILLAR RESOURCES,
AND THEN WE SHUT 'EM DOWN.

NOBODY'S EVER DONE THAT
TO A CARTEL.

LONNY.

HE JUST NAILED YOU ?
NO ATTEMPT AT COMMUNICATION ?

IT WAS A BLOODBATH.
I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING LIKE
THAT COULD HAPPEN IN MY LIFE.

ELLIOTT, I AM SO SORRY, MAN.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING
TO GET ME KILLED.

OH, GEEZ,
WHAT DID I DO ?

CHARLIE, ELLIOTT'S NOT
TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE RESTAURANT.

WHAT'S GOIN' ON ?

I FINALLY LOST IT
AT WORK THIS MORNING.
WHAT HAPPENED ?

WELL, THERE WAS A MEETING
OF DEPARTMENT HEADS,

AND I IMPLIED THAT
THE HEAD OF MARKETING
WAS RIGID.

- AND I CALLED HER JOB SKILLS
INTO QUESTION.

- THEN I JUMPED ON THE TABLE...

AND SCREAMED THAT SHE
WAS A PSYCHO NIGGER CUNT...

UNFIT FOR WORK ANYWHERE
EXCEPT A LOW-LEVEL BUREAUCRACY
SOMEWHERE.

- THEN THEY FIRED ME.
- OH, JESUS, ELLIOTT.

I DON'T CARE SO MUCH
ABOUT LOSING MY JOB
OR MY WIFE LEAVING ME.

- LAST NIGHT.

THE THING THAT'S KILLING ME IS
THAT THERE'S THIS ASSISTANT
WHO TAKES THE NOTES...

AT ALL THE MEETINGS,
AND SHE'S JUST WONDERFUL.

SHE JUST HAS THE FACE
OF AN ANGEL, SUCH
A BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY.

AND WHEN SHE
HEARD ME USE THAT WORD--
SHE'S AFRICAN-AMERICAN--

I SAW HER FACE JUST SINK.

BOY, I DID NOT LIKE
HURTING HER.

I REDUCED EVERYTHING
TO THAT UGLINESS BECAUSE
I COULDN'T CONTROL MY HATRED...

FOR THE HEAD OF MARKETING.

JESUS.
WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT I AM.

- HEY, HEY. ELLIOTT,
YOU'RE NOT A PIECE OF SHIT.
- YES, I AM.

- COME ON. SH.
- LET'S GIVE ELLIOTT A MOMENT
TO COMPOSE HIMSELF.

CHARLIE, DIDN'T YOU MENTION
YOU HAD A SHOWDOWN COMING UP ?
ISN'T THAT ON YOUR MIND ?

YEAH.
IT'S TOMORROW.
TOMORROW ?

- YEAH.

- TRY NOT TO GET KILLED.

LET ME
ASK YOU SOMETHING. IF YOU
GO INTO A BUSINESS MEETING...

AND YOU KNOW
YOU'RE GONNA BE ANNIHILATED,
WHAT DO YOU DO ?

I SHUT MY MOUTH
AND TRY TO WEATHER IT.

THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING.
- I ALWAYS LOOK FOR AN EDGE.

IT'S A LOSE-LOSE SCENARIO.

I'M SORRY THAT
I HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT
I CAN'T STAY LATE TONIGHT.

I HAVE ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT
I JUST CAN'T BREAK.

- THAT'S PERFECTLY
UNDERSTANDABLE, DOCTOR.
- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

LISTEN, GUYS, AS THIS IS
MY LAST NIGHT AMONG THE LIVING,
DO YOU WANNA HAVE A DRINK ?

THAT'D BE GREAT.
I WOULD LOVE TO--
LOVE TO HAVE A DRINK.

GOOD NIGHT, DOCTOR.
GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, CHARLIE,
IS JERRY FEINSTEIN
GONNA BE AT THE MEETING ?

WHO'S JERRY FEINSTEIN ?
JERRY FEINSTEIN.

HE WAS AT YOUR TABLE
WITH THE SUPERMODEL,
BIG WALL STREET PARTY ANIMAL.

EVERYBODY KNOWS
WHO JERRY FEINSTEIN IS.

LONNY, LISTEN. JASON CANE,
THE WALL STREET CREEP WHO'S
PULLING THIS ALL TOGETHER ?

GUESS WHAT. HIS REAL NAME
IS JERRY FEINSTEIN.

JERRY FEINSTEIN.
OKAY. I'LL GIVE IT A RUN,
SEE WHAT TURNS UP.

GOOD EVENING.
PLAZA ATHENEE.

CHARLES MAYO, PLEASE.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.

YOU HAVE REACHED MAILBOX
NUMBER 1601.

HEY. IT'S ME. LISTEN.
WE'RE IN SOME SHIT.

I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.
MEET ME AT 63rd AND 5th.

I WOULD LIKE
TO PROPOSE A TOAST,
GENTLEMEN.

- TO THE MEN THAT WE USED TO BE.
- YEAH. NO SHIT.

- I'M BASICALLY THE SAME GUY.
WELL, 15 YEARS
AGO, I WOULD GO DOWN...

TO THE TRADING FLOOR
DRESSED LIKE DON JOHNSON.

I WAS READY TO KILL.
I WAS THE MAN. I WAS THE KING.
I WAS FEARLESS.

YOU WERE ON COKE.

I WAS A LITTLE HIGH,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS 25. I
THOUGHT I WAS JAMES BOND...

-IN MONTE CARLO PLAYING
BACCARAT
WITH-- WHAT'S THAT GUY WITH--
-ERNST BLOFELD.

- ERNST BLOFELD
WITH THE CAT ?
- WE ALL LOST OUR EDGE.

I NEVER PLAYED BACCARAT
IN MONTE CARLO,
BUT I ONCE DID VEGAS...

WITH SOME HONG KONG
TRIAD TYPES.

PHEW-HOO-HOO.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
I TELL YOU.

DRUG LORDS REALLY KNEW
HOW TO PARTY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "KNEW" ?
DON'T THEY STILL KNOW
HOW TO PARTY ?

NOT THE ONES I'M INVOLVED WITH.
THEY'RE AS MISERABLE
AS WE ARE.

WAIT A MINUTE.
EVEN THE BAD GUYS
ARE UNHAPPY ?

THAT'S DEPRESSING.

LUCIEN,
HAVE YOU SEEN LONNY ?

HE WAS MESSIN' AT THE COMPUTER,
THEN HE BOLTED OUT OF HERE
ABOUT TWO MINUTES AGO.

YOU'RE IN CONSTANT DANGER.
THE PAY ISN'T GREAT.
YOU HAVE NO PERSONAL LIFE.

-GOTTA BE SOMETHING ABOUT
THE WORK THAT TURNS YOU ON.

WHY WOULD YOU
DO IT FOR 18 YEARS
IF IT WAS AWFUL ?

IT WASN'T ALWAYS AWFUL.
THERE WAS A TIME THAT IT REALLY
WAS INCREDIBLE.

- WELL, IT WAS A LOT LIKE
GETTING HIGH.

I MEAN,
YOU'VE GOT THE CAMARADERIE
OF DOING IT WITH YOUR BUDDIES,

BUT THE GREATEST THING
WAS PLAYIN' FOR
THE HIGH STAKES.

YOU BLOW IT, YOU'RE DEAD.

HEY, IT'S ME.

LISTEN.
WE'RE IN SOME SHIT.
I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.

MEET ME AT 63rd AND 5th.

I LOVE THIS SHIT, SEE.

I-I SHOULD'VE BEEN BORN YOU.
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA BE
LIKE CHARLES.

- GIVE ME THE GAME.
DESCRIBE THE GAME.
- WELL, IT'S LIKE I SAID.

FIRST, IT'S ABOUT THE STAKES,
BUT YOU ARE THE MAN.
IT'S JUST YOU AND THE BAD GUY.

ANYTIME YOU MAKE CONTACT,
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT INFORMATION
HE HAS THAT YOU DON'T.

HEY, LONNY,
CHARLIE LEFT ME A MESSAGE
TO COME PICK YOU UP.

- HE SAID HE COULDN'T MAKE IT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GOIN' ON ?

- COME ON. HOP IN.

YOU GO ON INSTINCT.
IT'S A WEIRD KIND OF MAGIC.

I DON'T KNOW.
A SIXTH SENSE.

IF YOU'RE WRONG,
YOU'RE DEAD.

WHEN THAT GUY CHEEMO KILLED
YOUR PARTNER, WHAT HAPPENED ?

I NEVER KNEW HOW CHEEMO
FIGURED ME OUT IN MIAMI.

- I RACKED MY BRAIN OVER IT.
- I COULDN'T LIVE LIKE THAT.

WELL, UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE IT,
THERE'S NO WAY TO UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA LIVE THAT
WAY, SO DON'T WORRY. GET BACK
TO THE GAME. CAN I HAVE ONE ?

OKAY. SO YOU'RE WITH A BAD GUY,
AND EVERYTHING'S CASUAL.

YOU MAKE INNOCENT SMALL TALK.
"WHAT ABOUT THEM MARLINS ?"

"DID YOU SEE THE TITS
ON THAT BROAD AT THE BAR ?"

IS HE GONNA MAKE IT ?
- HE'LL BE FINE.

BUT NONE OF IT'S
INNOCENT, 'CAUSE YOU'RE DEALING
WITH CUTTING-EDGE CRIMINALS,

AND THEY'VE GOT GREAT INSTINCTS
TOO, SO IT'S NOT EVEN A
QUESTION
OF BEING CAUGHT IN A LIE.

SIMPLE SMALL TALK
BECOMES A GIVEAWAY.

BOY, WHAT A CHARACTER.
I CAN'T FIGURE THE GUY OUT.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
THE HARDEST PART IS
WHEN YOU HAVE TO ASK QUESTIONS.

NOTHING'LL GET YOU KILLED
FASTER
THAN ASKING QUESTIONS.

- SO, DID CHARLIE TELL YOU
WHERE HE WAS PHONING FROM ?
- NO. HE DIDN'T SAY.

- YEAH, YEAH. HE SAID HE WANTED
TO MEET BOTH OF US RIGHT AWAY.

IF THEY'RE
BEING FRIENDLY, YOU'VE GOTTA
TALK, BE PERSONABLE.

BUT IF YOU'RE TOO PERSONABLE,
YOU VOLUNTEER A DETAIL ABOUT
YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S CELLULITE...

OR YOUR NEIGHBOR'S
ALUMINUM SIDING--
YOU KNOW,

I'VE BEEN IN TOWN
FOR FOUR WEEKS;
I HAVEN'T CAUGHT ONE BALL GAME.

YOU DON'T
HAVE ANY TICKET CONNECTIONS
BY ANY CHANCE, DO YOU ?

MAN
IT'S LIKE A LIFE
OF PERMANENT JOB INTERVIEWS.

I MEAN, YOU'RE ON
YOUR BEST, PHONIEST BEHAVIOR.
EVERYTHING'S GOING GREAT.

YOU TILT YOUR HEAD
THE WRONG WAY, AND--
POOF-- YOU DON'T EXIST.

HELLO ?

HEY, HOWARD. IT'S CHARLIE.
I NEED TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

CHARLIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOIN',
MAN

DO YOU THINK YOU LOSE FAITH
FIRST, AND THEN YOUR BALLS GO ?

I DON'T KNOW. YOU GOTTA
DO SOMETHING DRASTIC
TO GET 'EM BACK, RIGHT ?

I DON'T HAVE A FASTBALL
ANY MORE.
THEN
YOU GOTTA THROW THE CHANGE-UP.

*

I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

*

AS SOON AS WE SEE HIS MONEY,
PULL YOUR GUN,
BUT DON'T SHOOT HIM.

I WANNA SLICE HIS PRICK
RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE BEFORE
I BLOW HIS FUCKIN' HEAD OFF.

IT WILL BE HARD TO
STOP FROM KILLING HIM.

I KNOW. HIS PAIN
IS MY GIFT TO YOU.

F.B.I.,
AGENT CLEMMENS SPEAKING.
MAY I HELP YOU ?

THIS IS D.E.A. AGENT
DEXTER HELVENSHAW.

I'M WORKING A STING OPERATION
THAT'S BEEN CORRUPTED
BY A ROGUE OFFICER.

I'M IN DANGER
AND REQUESTING ASSISTANCE.

YES, SIR.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE TIMING THAT
WE'RE PUTTING THIS DEAL TOGETHER
TODAY.

WHY'S THAT ?

BECAUSE EARLY THIS MORNING
I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH TOKYO,
AND I GOT US IN...

ON SOMETHING THAT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE VERY HUSH-HUSH.

- ALL RIGHT.
WHAT IS IT ALREADY ?
- RIGHT.

THERE'S A NEW SOFTWARE
THE JAPANESE HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPING...

TO BLOW MICROSOFT
OUT OF THE WATER.

I HEARD ABOUT THAT. THEY'VE
BEEN WORKING ON THAT FOR YEARS,
RIGHT ?
YEAH.

WELL, THEY FINALLY PERFECTED
IT.
KATSUMI'S GONNA
MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT NEXT WEEK.

- MY FATHER LOVES THAT COMPANY.
- THEN HE'S GONNA LOVE
WHAT I JUST DID.

I TOOK A $40 MILLION BITE
OUT OF THE MARKET THIS MORNING.

- YOU DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE THE MONEY YET.
- FUCK IT. LIFE'S A GAMBLE.

AND HERE'S THE CASH.
I WAS CHECKING THE PRICES
ON THE WAY OVER.

I THINK BY THE END OF THIS WEEK,
THIS 40 MILLION WILL BE DOUBLED.

THAT'S FANTASTIC ! I CAN'T
WAIT TO TELL MY FATHER.
THIS IS--

OKAY. GOOD.
HERE'S MY MONEY.

NOW YOU SHOW ME YOURS.

[ Continues Speaking
In Spanish ]

- OKAY. OKAY.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA !
SHIT ! OH, SHIT !

OH, SHIT ! SHIT !

SHIT ! SHIT ! SHIT !
EASY, EASY, EASY.

[ Screeching Continues,
Gunfire ]

AGENT MAYO, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT ?

CHARLIE, ARE YOU DOWN ?
DO YOU NEED HELP ?

YOU'RE A COP ?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND.

I AM, FULVIO. WE JUST MET
UNDER BAD CIRCUMSTANCES.

AGENT MAYO,
DO YOU REQUIRE ASSISTANCE ?

- NOT UNTIL YOU
BLEW ME IN, DEXTER.

WHAT'S GOIN' ON ?

THAT'S AGENT DEXTER HELVENSHAW
BACK THERE. HE'S THE ONE
WHO PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT,
DEX ?
THAT'S RIGHT.

- HE WANTS YOU TO KILL ME,

AND HE'S GONNA SHOOT YOU,
STEAL THE MONEY
AND MAKE HIMSELF A HERO.

- THAT'S RIGHT.

FUCK HIM.

OHH.

OH. ARE YOU ALIVE,
MI VIDA ?

OHH.

I THINK MY RIBS
ARE BROKEN.

I'LL GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
COME ON. SH.

PUT YOUR HANDS OUT IN FRONT
OF YOU, CHARLIE.

GET 'EM OUT !
JASON, GRAB A SUITCASE.
STAND OVER THERE.

SEE YA, ASSHOLE.

HE FUCKED YA, FULVIO.
NOW YOU'RE A DEAD MAN.

WOULDN'T YOU JUST
LOVE A LITTLE PAYBACK
BEFORE THE LIGHTS GO OUT ?

JESUS, FULVIO, I BELIEVE
YOU'D BETTER USE THAT GUN
ON ME.

- FREEZE ! F.B.I. !

PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN
AND GET ON YOUR KNEES !
DEXTER HELVENSHAW, D.E.A.

- I'M THE ONE
WHO CALLED IN FOR ASSISTANCE.
- I'M AGENT MAYO.

- HE'S THE ROGUE
WHO KILLED HIS SUPERIOR.
- HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD.

- THIS IS FULVIO NESSTRA, PART
OF THE MINNETTI CRIME FAMILY.

- THERE'S ALSO SOME DEAD
COLOMBIANS RIGHT OVER HERE.
WHO'S THIS GUY ?

THIS IS MY INFORMANT.
I WANNA TAKE HIM IN
FOR DEBRIEFING. ALL RIGHT ?

I'M PICKIN' UP MY WEAPON.

YOU NEED SOME HELP ?
YOU GONNA BE ALL RIGHT ?
NO. I'M FINE.

I JUST GOT NICKED.
GET UP. LET'S GO.

[ Both Panting,
Grunting ]

JUST A LITTLE FURTHER,
MI VIDA CARA.
I CAN'T, VIDA.

YOU GO ON WITHOUT ME.
SAVE YOURSELF.

NO. NEVER.
ESTUVIO, DARLING, LOOK AT ME.

I SWEAR IF WE GET OUT OF HERE,
I PROMISE I'LL LEAVE MY FAMILY.

WE COULD GET THAT CO-OP
AT HUDSON AND PERRY. I SWEAR.
FIDEL,

YOU MUST DESIGN CLOTHES.

YES.

COME, DARLING.

FIDEL,
DO WE HAVE TO ?
IT'S OUR ONLY WAY OUT.

OH, NO !

WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DO NOW ?

WE USE THIS CASH TO COVER THE
SHARES YOU BOUGHT, THEN DUMP THE
STOCKS WHEN THE MARKET DOUBLES.

UH-HUH.
WHAT ABOUT CARMINE MINNETTI ?

I'LL STALL HIM
FOR A FEW DAYS WHILE
YOU PLAY THE MARKET.

ON YOUR HEAD NOW !

AGENT HELVENSHAW, D.E.A.
WE'RE D.E.A. !

- I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME.

WHAT DO YOU SAY,
HANDSOME ?

I THINK SOMEBODY UP THERE
LIKES ME.

[ All Shouting,
Chattering ]

ALL THE WAY DOWN.
CLEAR.

FUCK.

THEY MUST'VE
GONE OUT THE BACK.
OH, REALLY ?

THEN WHY DON'T YOU
OPEN UP THAT SUITCASE ?

THE GUNS !
DID YOU SEE 'EM ?

IT WAS GREAT !
GET ME SOMETHING
FOR FULVIO'S LEG, WILL YA ?

- OH, CHARLIE, YOU THINK...

YOU GOT THE MARKET CORNERED
ON PHARMACEUTICALS ?

THESE GUYS
AREN'T REAL FEDS ?
JUST FRIENDS FROM GROUP THERAPY.

WE'RE NOT BUSTED ?

NOPE.

COME ON.
WHAT A--
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY ?

WE KEEP IT, FULVIO. IT'S
A CHANCE TO MAKE LIFE SWEET.

HERE'S TO THE OCEAN VIEW.

ALL RIGHT !

I MEAN, THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

YES ! WE DID IT !

FIDEL, WHAT'S YOUR
FATHER GOING TO DO WHEN HE
FINDS OUT WE LOST HIS MONEY ?

WHAT HE ALWAYS DOES:
