Original subtitles

Come here.

Yeah.

Good boy.

Evening, sir.

Watch me.

Watch him.

Just do it! Kill him!

We're the competition.

Good evening, sir.

Sit.

Release your dogs!

Eddie... huh? Hey.

Eddie.

Yo.

Eddie.

I don't think he's listening.

Eddie?

Why don't I hold onto that for you.

Whole precinct's out there.

But they're looking for four guys in a Cadillac.

We can split up the money, just go solo on foot.

You got a 200-pound mag drill in your back pocket

you been holding and not telling us about?

The car is hidden from the street unless they get close,

but we're sitting ducks down here if they do.

Municipal storage facility.

Anyone with a car owe you a favor?

Short notice, short money?

Not in my Rolodex.

What the fuck's a Rolodex?

Don't talk for a while, okay?

Watch yourself. A lot further to fall.

Car troubles.

Yeah.

Wild card came up a deuce.

Take us a day to crack it.

I can make you whole then.

Right. Right.

What'd he say?

He said we're all over the news.

Told us we're on our own till nightfall at best,

and that he'd need at least 50% hazard pay

to think about sticking his neck out.

He said, "Call back an hour before sundown."

He'll know if he can send a van, if it's cooled off by then.

Fucking sundown?

What?

You stupid piece of shit.

No one told me there was alarms.

Yeah, that wouldn't have mattered

if you stuck with the fucking safe

instead of making a detour to the pharmacy section

on your own initiative.

I saw an in, I took it.

Look, I can... I can flip dope. That's good loot.

You fucked us!

No. We should have had pieces.

Pieces? This was a soft in, soft out.

This is no guns needed.

This is candy from a baby.

You going to shoot a cop?

I don't know who I'm going to shoot.

You watch that.

Look, we got the safe and we got out.

That's a fucking score.

Oh, yeah. Why don't you

tell that to our wheelman's wife?

I'm sure she'll be very proud of us.

Maybe you give her a couple hundred from your cut

for the casket.

Yeah, I... I didn't need to bring you in.

To your low-rent box store job? Huh?

We'll be lucky if we pull 30K from this shit-show.

If you even give us a chance to fucking crack this safe.

Thanks for the lead, ace.

Fuck you.

Fuck, you're stupider than your fucking cousin.

Morons.

What?

What the fuck?

He's sick.

Christ.

What the fuck would you know?

Son, I've spilled more dope than you'll ever live to shoot.

Look, I...

I just didn't have my wake-up this morning, all right?

So you figured you'd nab one while we were on the clock?

Just let me get well.

All right?

Come on, man. It's...

Your show.

I should let you fucking sweat it.

It's the small bottle. It's yellow powder.

Yeah.

They got a sink in here?

Have we been here longer than you have?

Yeah, whatever.

Stay away from the street-side windows.

And don't go the fuck outside.

Ah, f...

You said this was going to be easy.

Come on. Almost there.

Sometimes I pretend the sounds of cars passing by

are waves on some little black sand beach, far away from here.

You don't have to pretend.

Let's fly away.

I fucked up.

Taking down rinky-dink scores

with punks that can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar

long enough to finish the main course?

I dropped the ball, Walker. I'm sorry.

I've seen this.

Guys gets shaken up, you know, partner dies,

their kid gets sick.

Maybe their wife balls someone else,

and they start making their own chaos.

Walker...

There are only three kinds of last score, Stacy.

The kind where you serve life,

the kind where you're served a bullet,

and the kind... The kind where you walk away.

Man's got to know what he is.

Yeah?

What are you?

You know, I did this score when my kid was little.

Christmas Eve, I couldn't have been, what, 25?

Pet shop job.

I knew this guy, he was the manager.

Says there's going to be 5 grand in the safe.

I guess these places do good on holidays.

You know, what with the kittens and bunnies, and all that.

I'm counting on this score to put something under the tree

for my little girl, so I go, you know, I crack this safe.

It's a four-number, mechanical combo.

Eyes and ears only.

I am so proud of myself.

I pull this thing open...

There's nothing.

Not a note.

Turns out this manager's a fucking degenerate

like everybody else,

and he's already dropped all the money it at the track.

Remember, my little girl

has been listening for sleigh bells all week,

so I go looking for a bunny or a cat to get her.

But all they got left is puppies and fish.

So I find this fish.

Tropical one.

Beautiful.

Bright yellow.

Different than the others.

Perfect.

I grab the whole tank.

Must've weighed 60 pounds, cord hanging off the back.

And I'm about to take off.

And I stop and think,

"Am I really about to walk out of a job

with one goddamned fish?"

So I go fishing.

Long shrimp-looking ones,

leopard-type guys,

big old black ones with those big bubble eyes.

Just dropping them in the tank with Yellow.

I'm pretty happy how this worked out, you know?

I never would've come up with this on my own.

It would've been a teddy bear,

or a doll if I was really flush.

But this, this is inspired.

So I slip in, I set up this tank right under the tree,

because I just got to see the look on my daughter's face

when she sees this.

But lugging that aquarium around is hard work.

I'm out as soon as I hit the chair.

Then I wake up, and there's this screaming.

Nothing like that sound.

Sound of your own kid, just screaming.

All these fish are dead.

All bloated up like some East River dump job.

All except that yellow tropical.

Turns out that freshwater fish don't make it in the salt.

Me, I'm a freshwater fish.

I know I'm in the right tank.

Maybe we should go check on that kid before he, you know,

takes a selfie up on the roof.

Posts it to Instagram.

Fuck you.

Testost... Fuck.

Shame.

He's finished.

I'll handle it.

We'll be back for the count.

Come on.

Up.

Stay.

Fuck!

Walk away.

Nice and slow.

Shit. Run!

Go! Run! Jesus! Fuck! Shit.

Holy fuck.

- My fucking luck. - Go!

It's coming!

Shut the fucking door.

What the fuck was that?

Beware of still water or a silent dog.

You know, I bunked with this gangbanger.

He used to fight pits in Chicago.

So, this guy, he tells me, the big organizations,

they hop from place to place,

and that someone sticks around

to put the losers down when the show is over.

There's a fire escape.

Well, let's get the fuck out of here.

Go back for the money.

Ride knows where we're at.

We got to be here when he comes,

otherwise he takes the safe,

he tells us it's in an evidence room downtown,

we don't see a fucking dime.

All right, we hole up here till the van comes.

Bust out the window and take the stairs.

Get the safe. Oh, fuck.

- Get the fuck out of here. - Fuck, fuck, fuck.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm fucking sick.

And? And my dope's in the other room.

Did you...?

Did we not almost get eaten by a giant fucking dog?

Jesus, man.

- Fuck you. - Hey.

Calm down. What the fuck's the matter with you?

You broke my fucking nose.

I should've thrown you out of the fucking car,

is what I should have done.

Jesus Christ. See, now I feel bad.

And he was going for you.

Jesus.

Just try and get in between a junkie and his stuff.

Fucking hell. Walker.

Jesus.

Said you had him six months now?

Mm-hmm.

Been letting my little niece play with him.

You making a pet?

Could do it.

Big paws.

Mm-hmm.

Raise him right, could be a wrecker.

If he's game.

You going to roll him?

Only way to know.

I'll start the work.

You think I'm helping you carry that kid down that fire escape,

you're out of your fucking mind.

I can fucking carry him.

Bet you wish we had pieces now.

Listen, man, I've done plenty of dirt,

but I ain't shooting no fucking dog.

This shit's funny to you?

Well, it's just that I've always known you to be a cat person.

Fuck you.

Back at you.

I'm not.

Not, what?

I'm not a cat person.

You just switched?

I like cats. I still like them.

I just... I got a preference for dogs now, that's all.

It's all right to be a cat person.

I know it is.

I mean, they're smart, they're independent,

you don't have to pick up their shit.

I just... You know, I had a thing happen on a job that,

you know, made me re-think the thing. That's all.

You had another dog thing happen on a job?

Long story.

Yeah, well, it's not like we have a paucity of time.

It's personal.

What kind of job?

I told you, it's personal.

Listen, you know,

being a cat person doesn't necessarily

make you less of a man.

Will you stop? You had to be there.

I mean, it doesn't make you, like, a giant pussy.

Truffles.

It was a truffles job.

Truffles... truffles, like chocolates?

No, like mushrooms.

The fuck... You did a mushroom job?

Not mushrooms. Truffles.

What the fuck?

Are you fucking kidding me?

I'm serious.

I mean, figured dope boys get, what, 18K for a key of blow?

A kilo of White Alba's will get you a hundred fucking K.

Fuck.

How did you get plugged in with that?

I knew this crazy kid from East Boston.

Used to work in the kitchen with me in the joint.

Pretty good chef when he wasn't robbing armored cars.

I finished my stint, I get out,

this guy is in Gourmet fucking magazine.

Ah, and he needed truffles.

Yeah. Fifty cents on the dollar.

But where the fuck is the product?

It's in the ground. You got to dig it up.

Except he tells me about this auction

that they hold once a year, right?

The fucking thing is simulcast,

Florence, London, Macau.

Sold.

Now, these things get brought

in the country chained to some ex-Mossad's wrist.

High security.

But the guy that runs the auction decides

he's going to cut costs.

Puts them in a regular old storage unit

right here in town.

I case the place.

There's only one guard on night shift.

Poor bastard humps mail all day for the post office,

so he's out like a light

soon as the guy before him takes off.

But I can't for the life of me figure out

what unit these truffles are in.

I get this methed-out Bulgarian hacker,

dresses like Obi-Wan Kenobi,

to try and check client records for me.

No dice, man. Place is old-school.

Strictly paper files.

I pull a favor with Mr. Clean and borrow a truck.

I start digging through this place's trash

for billing statements, invoices, credit card receipts,

anything I can find to track these things down.

But this place shares an alley with a Korean fish market,

and the only thing I'm going to get out of these Dumpsters

is fucking cholera.

I tell the chef I'm throwing in the towel.

I mean, this place is 12 floors, 50 units each.

But he begs me to stay on.

Tells me he's going to pay me 70 cents on the dollar.

So I do a little research,

find out about this guy in New Jersey.

Crazy South African living in a shack

way out in the Pine Barrens.

Got that disease where he's got no hair on his body.

He trains truffle dogs.

Truffle dogs?

Yeah, well, they're better than pigs

because pigs eat the things.

Dogs will just dig them up,

as long as you've got food they like better on standby.

Makes sense.

Turns out there's only a handful

of real deal ace truffle dogs in the whole fucking country,

and this guy owns two.

Now, as you know, at the time, I haven't yet cultivated

an appreciation for the canine species,

but I'm looking at this little Jack Russell and I'm thinking,

maybe I can make this work.

Get one of those carrying cases,

like what's-her-name with the sex video?

Sneak him right into the place and sniff the shit out.

Whoa.

This little bastard must smell my cat or something,

because he won't even let me get near him.

That ain't going to work.

So I have to take the other one.

Wait, there's another one?

Yeah, I already told you.

This guy's got two of these things.

Keeps the second one in a big-ass cage

he's got built out back,

because he says it ain't housebroken yet.

He's got a big-ass cage for a Jack Russell?

No, man.

What is it, a hound or something?

Mm-mm.

Goddamn standard poodle.

Haircut and everything.

We cover nine floors,

and old boy is doing his thing,

but he's not getting any hits.

At this point I'm getting nervous, you know,

because the morning crew is going to relieve.

Sleeping Beauty in half an hour,

and Pom-Poms ain't seeing shit.

And just when I'm starting to think I got conned...

it's all there.

The goddamn truffle mother lode.

Come on.

So I give Pom-Poms his reward,

I start loading these things out into the hall.

And there's Sleeping Beauty.

I don't know what must've happened to this guy

at the post office that day,

but the way he's looking at me,

I can just tell he's getting ready to put me down.

I mean, I can do a stretch just fine,

but the prospect of getting killed

over a bunch of mushrooms?

Truffles.

Whatever. It's not sitting right.

So I start praying to God.

And the damndest thing happens.

I mean, if I'd have pulled two .45s,

this guy wouldn't have thought twice

about peeling my scalp back right then and there.

But this mailman...

he sees a dog

and he's in the wind.

Come on. That's bullshit.

On my life, man.

Took old boy straight to the groomers,

dropped $200 getting his pom-pom fluffed.

Been a dog lover ever since.

What the shit?

Fucking kid.

Kid!

Kid!

Nothing.

What is it?

Dispatch, this is K-309.

Checking out the municipal storage facility,

Conrad and Gardener.

Copy unit K9.

Oh, fuck.

Got a jimmied door here.

Possible signs of forced entry.

Going to let Charlie have a sniff around.

Copy that.

I need an additional unit at Conrad and Berger.

Dispatch, this is car 210 responding.

I'm about eight blocks from Connie, on Lerner.

I'll head over now.

K-309,

car 210 is en route to you now.

They fucked us.

The kid fucked us.

Be advised, we are looking

for a late '80s gold-colored Cadillac.

Castillo suspects are armed.

210 is checking the perimeter now.

Other units, please stand by.

Dispatch, we've got possible activity in here.

Charlie's all fired up over something.

Easy. Easy, easy, boy.

Easy, easy. Good boy, Charlie.

Good boy. It's okay. Who's a good boy?

You're a good boy. You're good.

Hey, good boy.

Good boy, Charlie. Good boy.

Who's a little boy? Good boy, Charlie.

You're a good boy, Charlie.

210, we're all clear in there.

Just Charlie chasing his tail again.

Copy that.

Let me in.

What about the dog?

It's out here playing Frisbee with me.

The thing was half dead to begin with.

Let me the fuck in.

Are you rearranging the fucking furniture?

Look, there's a van downstairs in a loading dock.

I bet you my whole share the key's sitting right there

in the dead guy's fucking pocket.

Okay, let me the fuck in.

You pull that shit again, you're going to stay out there.

Yeah, whatever.

Fuck!

Shit. Fuck. Shit.

Fuck!

Hey!

Oh, fuck.

Oh, shit.

Run, man. Go.

Run!

Fuck. Shit.

Kid? You hear me? Look at me. You okay?

Broke a rib. I'll live.

Help me with the fucking kid.

Ah, Christ. Fucking shit.

Hang in there.

We're going to find something to make you a tourniquet.

Okay?

Staunch the flow and clean it up.

- Fuck! - Fuck!

Come on!

Come on. Jesus.

Shit.

Get the fuck out of here!

I got... I got a bag of marbles around here...

That's your prospect?

Uh-huh. - Ain't nothing but a pup.

I've been working him.

Shit. What line he from?

Scatter-bred.

All respect due,

I don't think you want a tot going 40 pounds uphill

on the Russian.

Do I look like a yard boy to you?

Take the fucking dog and put it in the corner.

Come on, boy.

You could call it if it's ugly.

You can't.

Shh.

Release your dog.

Yeah.

No main cables.

Walker knows a good doctor.

He came up doing cuts for Chuck Wepner,

so he's seen a lot worse.

He'll get you squared away,

as soon as we get the fuck out of here.

Sorry about...

Yeah, well...

sorry about your face.

Fucking Weeble Wobble, man.

What the fuck's a Weeble Wobble?

It's a toy.

Fucking Weeble Wobble, you know?

Weeble Wobble? Don't fall down?

Like... Like a... Like a Slinky.

Forget it.

Tournament brackets.

Looks like it.

Fucking hell.

What are these? Purses?

Note 25, 50, 100, two.

This is chump change.

Look at this guy.

Was he fighting pairs?

Tough motherfucker.

Jesus.

Nobody wins.

Jesus fuck, this was last night.

Christ, how long until sundown?

Call our ride in 50, then get out that fire escape.

Yeah, well, what say you, kid?

Hmm?

Are you a cat person, or are you more of a dog person?

Dogs.

I used to love them books when I was little

where they got them acting like people.

You know, driving around in cars,

and making deposits at the bank,

and buying ice cream cones and all that.

Dad kept on having to whup my ass for trying to talk to them.

To dogs?

Yeah. I'd see them tied up outside the store,

and I'd ask where they parked their trucks.

I always wanted one,

but Pops said he could hardly keep us fed.

So I had chickens and stuff.

You a farm boy?

No, just... Just country.

A few egg hens, a busted-ass old milk cow.

I found this one dog by the side of the road when I was 6.

It couldn't have been more than a couple years old.

He... He must've got hit by a car or something.

His leg was busted up real bad.

He was a... He was a shepherd, I think.

I knew my pop wouldn't let me keep him.

The dog catcher would just put him down.

So I hauled his poor ass all the way back to this old shack

we had out behind our house.

And Dad was drinking so much by then

I knew the toolshed's the last place he'd be.

But this little dog was crying so loud from the pain

that first day,

I was sure he'd hear no matter how loaded he was.

I stayed in there all night,

petting him and begging him to be quiet

till he finally calmed down.

Started bringing my lunches home from school.

At first all he wanted was that cheese you peel off.

But a few days in I had him grubbing on meatballs,

and smiley face tater tots, and chicken nuggets,

and all that, like a regular schoolboy.

Had to clean the shit off his fur every day,

because his leg was still too fucked to stand up.

But I didn't mind.

Nobody'd ever been that happy to see me my whole life

as when I walked in that room.

Tail wagging so hard against the ground

he's kicking up dust all over himself.

I'd hide food under my bed to save up for the weekends,

you know, but it was June already.

Pretty soon school was done.

I busted open my piggy bank,

sold some baseball cards I had from Christmas

and bought him some food, but I ran out after a week.

Had to swear I wouldn't come back to the only store in town

after I got caught racking Alpo

to convince them not to tell my pop.

Only one place left to go for food.

I was having nightmares just thinking about it.

But the look on that dog's face after a couple days,

it was like not eating wasn't the worst of it for him.

Like he thought he was in trouble, you know?

Like he thought I was punishing him for something,

and he couldn't figure out what it was he did wrong.

Started to get this froth around his lips.

Tail slowing down.

Two more days, and it wasn't hardly moving at all.

It got so I couldn't stand it anymore.

Waited till late at night.

Never been so scared in my whole life.

Took a big old block of hamburg from the fridge.

Buried the wrapper with the chickens.

I can still see that dog's face when he saw me come in with it.

Swear to God he's grinning at me just like a little kid.

Tears running down his nose,

because he's crying he's so happy.

Next morning I came back in from my chores.

Chickens.

They must have dug it up.

I was praying while I ran.

Like if I prayed hard enough,

everything was going to be okay.

My dad...

he was waiting for me.

Worst part of it was,

dog's got that same look he always did

when he saw me come in.

Like he's smiling at me.

Tail just wagging away in the dust.

I was stupid.

Stupid kid.

I'm really tired.

Yeah, well, what am I supposed to do,

drag that fucking safe out of here on foot?

All right. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks for fucking nothing.

Still too much heat.

Said maybe tomorrow.

Miss January.

Hmm.

Stole her out of my neighbor's mailbox last week.

Those purses in the other room.

I know, missing a couple zeroes.

Somebody's coming back for this.

It's a lot more than we got in that safe.

Not too much to carry out.

I'll pack.

I'll get the kid.

Fuck.

Might be your lucky day...

Kid.

Stupid kid.

History's a rock.

Can't swim if you're holding it.

Whenever you're ready.

I'm going to meet you out there.

Couple more jobs, then I'm on a plane.

I won't wait.

Not even for you.

I'll see you by the sea.

Hey. Hey.

It's okay. I'm all right.

I'm all right.

Show me.

I'm all right. It's... Fucking show me, Walker.

Fuck. I'm okay.

Here, look.

You fucking kidding me, man?

What?

I seen a guy in the joint

take a boot party from the screws,

he looked just like that.

Went to sleep, he never woke up.

Fuck that. I just need to sit for a minute, man.

What the fuck are you doing? I'm calling an ambulance.

Hey.

What the fuck, man?

Solo, you get out of here easy.

Just go.

Van.

Downstairs.

You heard the kid.

I'll go down there, take the key off the dead guy,

I'll come back, I'll scoop you.

Walk through that door, that fucking dog's

going to eat you alive. What am I going to do,

sit here and watch you bleed out into your own gut?

No. I want you to go down the fucking fire escape,

and walk away. Listen, man,

people don't recover from what you got

without a fucking doctor. Get yourself a ticket.

Shut up. Get on a fucking plane...

Shut the fuck up. ...and fly to the fucking beach.

What makes you think I didn't try?

Man, when I walk past a place,

I clock the traffic three blocks around.

How far to the street,

how long to the nearest precinct.

Whether the roof's softer than the walls,

or if can cut in through the joint next door.

I see if the floors can support a strongbox,

whether I should load in a drill,

or if there's a pick-point strong enough

so I can drop the unit into a car downstairs.

Been the same way since I was

popping spoilers off of Supras,

doing housebreaks through doggy doors.

I packed my fucking bags, man.

I even bought one of those stupid things

you put on your nose to keep the sun off.

But all I could think about when it was time to go was...

how long before I blew it all to hell.

So I went ahead and pulled the pin.

Because why the fuck should I postpone the inevitable?

She's gone, Walker.

Five years fucking gone.

And she said she wouldn't wait.

All the books you read,

the great romances, like runaway trains

that roll over anything that gets in the way.

Didn't you ever think they might not just be a fantasy?

You know, that you might be getting in the way

of something that was meant to be,

and you're just scared so stupid

you're laying on the tracks instead of getting on board?

You know, but every once in a while

even a degenerate gambler

can tell a guy when it's time to cash out.

She said...

said she was going to get a puppy when it came time.

Told me I could pick it out if I was ready to join her.

You said you couldn't leave, she said she wouldn't wait.

But the way you two of you looked at each other...

I think you might both be liars.

We're getting the fuck out of here.

Both of us.

If you say so. It's your show.

Up.

Sit.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, Christ.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Easy.

Easy, boy.

Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

Shit.

Fuck.

You got to be fucking kidding me.

Oh, shit.

Aah!

Fuck.

Fuck.

Easy, now. Easy, boy.

Easy. Good.

We cool?

Walk?

Guess you really are a dog person.

Let's get you up. Come on.

Here, sit down. Sit down.

Sit down, all right?

Day we're having, that'll be the wrong key.

Come on, goddamn it.

All right. What's behind door number two?

Cops?

Bird's gone.

You sure you don't want to stick around?

Yeah.

Right, let's do it.

Oh, boy.

You know, I'm thinking maybe I'll retire.

Guy once told me there are only three types of last score.

I've been wrong.

Okay.

Come on.

That ain't our ride.

Walker!

Walker. Go!

Walker.

Fuck. Come on. Come on.

Walker. Walker.

Fuck.

Fuck!

Oh, fuck.

My mother had a garden.

It wasn't much more than a sandbox, really.

But it was hers.

Bluebells growing there.

Beautiful.

Our neighbor had a dog.

Spanish mastiff.

Big bastard.

Did whatever the hell he pleased.

Kept on coming into the yard and digging up those bluebells.

My mom would cry each time.

She'd go out, try to fix the mess,

put it all back together,

start fresh.

But that dog would go and do it all over.

I went to talk to the owner.

I asked him please to keep his pet out of our yard.

He was a big guy, even bigger than the dog.

And I was just a boy.

Well, this mastiff...

...he went and did it again.

And again, and again, and again, and again.

So you know what I did?

I shot him.

The neighbor, I mean.

You see,

a beast cannot be expected

to understand private property.

But a man, even a stupid one,

knows the difference between mine...

and yours.

Like that bag you got under there.

And what I'm guessing you got inside it.

Motherfucker.

Shit.

Whoa!

That mastiff I was talking about...

I took him in.

Dogs been a hobby of mine ever since.

I find them fascinating.

As many ways as we are different,

just as many we are the same.

But here's this thing I noticed.

An old dog been doing something a while,

it becomes almost automatic.

Like when you are making the same drive home every day

for 20 years, and the car just drives you.

Let me put it simply.

You know how it goes teaching an old dog new tricks.

What they don't tell you is why it never sticks.

You see, an animal been acting a certain way for a while,

it gets to be all he knows.

And even if that behavior isn't working,

even if they are eating pieces of the carpet,

or chewing up your shoes and shitting out the laces

until their guts are so tied up in knots they are half dead,

you reach a certain point...

Well, it ain't unheard of for a bitch

to stop eating shoes,

but I ain't never seen it, myself.

It's not that complicated.

A dog that fights is a fighting dog.

A man that steals is thief.

You want him to stop...

there's only one thing to do.

Well, look at you.

Come here, boy.

Come here.

Yeah.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Look at you.

Come here, boy.

Come here.

That's it.

That's it. That's it.

Fuck you.

No!

Don't!

It's okay.

It's okay, now.

It's okay.

You're a good boy.

You're a good boy.

Good boy.

You're a good boy.
