[PIANO PLAYS]

THOU PREPAREST A TABLE FOR ME

IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES.

THOU ANNOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL.

SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE...

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD...

FOREVER.

ASHES TO ASHES...

AND DUST TO DUST.

FAREWELL, OLD FRIEND.

WE WILL MISS YOU AS WE MISS THE GOOD DAYS

AND THE GOOD NIGHTS OF YOUR PAST GLORY.

MAY THE BENEVOLENT LORD IN ALL HIS WISDOM

CARRY YOU AMONG THE STARS

FROM WHICH YOU LAY CLAIM.

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON

AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

AMEN.

GOODBYE, MARCUS.

[WOMAN] YEAH, COME IN.

IT'S KIND OF LATE, YOU KNOW.

BILLY FROM THE HOTEL SEND YOU?

REALLY, HE SHOULDN'T SEND ANYBODY THIS LATE

'CAUSE I USUALLY PASS.

WELL...

NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE, COME ON.

WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE.

YOU CAN COME IN, YOU KNOW.

OH, AND, LIKE, THESE WALLS ARE PAPER-THIN,

SO WE GOT TO KEEP IT DOWN.

BILLY TELL YOU HOW MUCH?

20 FOR QUICKIES, 50 ALL NIGHT.

OH, ALL RIGHT. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT,

I'LL GIVE YOU A BREAK.

40. O.K.?

'CAUSE IT'S SLOW.

AAH!

NO STRINGS, WE SAID?

DID YOU KNOW I HAD TO KILL HER TO GET IT?

500?

OH, WOW.

HA HA.

YOU ARE REALLY LOOSE, BABY.

HA HA HA HA.

AM I SATISFIED?

OF COURSE I'M NOT SATISFIED.

WELL, LET'S SEE...

UM...

DOES A HUNDRED GRAND SEEM TOO MUCH?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO!

YOU'D BETTER HAVE 100 YARDS BY TOMORROW,

HA HA HA HA HA!

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HA HA HA HA HA!

[RING]

YOU CATCH A GUY IN THIS HOOKER'S ROOM.

YOU MIX IT UP A LITTLE.

AND ALL YOU CAN TELL ME

IS THAT HE'S 6 FOOT, YOUNGISH, AND WELL-DRESSED.

BOY, HAVE YOU SLOWED UP.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT DID HIS FACE LOOK LIKE?

HIS FACE?

I WAS TOO BUSY TRYING TO SAVE MY ASS.

HE HAD A CANE AN A PIG STICKER.

THAT'S WHERE ALL MY ATTENTION WAS.

EVERYTHING ELSE WAS A RED HAZE.

BOWEN.

GET YOUR GODDAMN FEET OFF MY CHIPPENDALE.

HA HA. JESUS.

WHAT A DUMP.

AND YOU, A COLLEGE MAN.

WELL, HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, BILL.

IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE YOUR SISTER DIED OF AN OVERDOSE.

YOU PLANNING TO MAKE A CAREER

OUT OF MUSCLING THESE TWO-BIT PUSHERS IN THIS GHETTO?

YOU TURN ONE IN, FIVE MORE HIT THE STREET.

LAY OFF. THIS DUNG HEAP, AS YOU CALL IT,

IS MY PENANCE, NOT YOURS.

I DIDN'T QUIT THE PRECINCT. I WAS KICKED OUT.

OH, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. WILL YOU STOP BEING A MARTYR?

YOU WERE SUSPENDED. WHAT THE HELL

DID YOU EXPECT FROM THE COMMISSIONER?

YOU STRANGLED THAT PUSHER WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.

A LIEUTENANT OF POLICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE LEVELHEADED...

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOU WERE LUCKY YOU DIDN'T GET THE PEN.

I'M NOT GETTING THROUGH TO YOU, SHEP.

OH, WHAT THE HELL. I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING.

YOU'RE ALWAYS THROWING ME A BONE.

I'D LIKE A CHANGE OF PACE.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?

WELL, THOSE GUILT-RIDDEN PARENTS

LOOKING FOR THEIR LOST DAUGHTERS.

THEY'RE GETTING MIGHTY MONOTONOUS.

HOW MANY IS IT NOW? ABOUT THREE THIS MONTH?

CAN'T YOU DO BETTER THAN THAT?

SCREW YOU.

JESUS, YOU REALLY ARE SOMETHING.

I TELL YOU WHAT. YOU GIVE ME THREE DAYS,

I'LL WRAP UP THIS BROWNMILLER CASE FOR YOU.

NOW, ABOUT THE MONEY.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MONEY?

THE MONEY YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE

ON THOSE STOOLIES AND FINKS.

ABOUT $200 OUGHT TO DO ME JUST FINE.

YOU NEED A SHOT OF PENICILLIN JUST TO GO IN HERE.

WELL, HASN'T KILLE M YET.

WELL, HAVE YOU GOT A CLEAN GLASS?

YEAH, SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE.

WHERE? WHERE?

THANKS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SPIT ON IT FIRST?

[SNORTS]

YEAH, THAT'S, UH... 200 BUCKS...

AND A GUN FOR ME.

AW, COME ON, BILL. YOU KNOW I GOT THE STREET WIRED.

LOOK, SHEP.

I WAS TALKING TO THE CAPTAIN,

AN H WAS TALKING TO THE COMMISSIONER.

IF YOU'LL COME IN AND TALK TO BOTH OF THEM,

WE'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT THIS WHOLE THING.

FORGET IT, PAL. PRACTICALLY...

AND PHILOSOPHICALLY,

I'M FOR LAW AND ORDER.

BUT TECHNICALLY, IT STINKS.

AFTER I CATCH SOME BASTARD

AND HAVE TO READ HIM HIS BILL OF RIGHTS,

AFTER ME AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS

SAW HIM CUT DOWN SOME POOR OLD GROCER

AND GET OFF WITH SPIT... UH-UH.

SOMETHING'S WRONG.

MM-HMM.

PAY YOUR TAB AT SIEGAL'S WITH THIS.

I'LL TAKE IT OUT OF PETTY CASH.

YOU GOT THE PERMIT.

THANKS...

FLATFOOT.

GODDAMN PURITAN.

$11, PLEASE.

$11.

THANK YOU.

HERE'S YOUR WATCH. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE, STONE.

YEAH. YEAH, I'LL WORK ON THAT.

HI, STONE.

JOE.

HERE YOU ARE, SIR.

MMM.

HE'S LOADED.

YEAH, I KNOW. BIG JOE GIAPENE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, STONE, NO GUTS?

HEY, YOU. DIDN'T I GIVE YOU A 20?

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I GAVE HER A DOUBLE SAWBUCK.

I WAS READING THE MAGAZINE.

LOOK. CHECK THE CIGAR BOX.

I'LL EAT EVERY 20, 10, OR 5 YOU FIND IN THERE.

AND YOU'VE JUST BEEN GONE A MINUTE.

I COULD'VE SWORN...

MUST BE THAT GODDAMN COFFEE

MY WIFE MAKES FOR ME EVERY MORNING.

WHY DON'T YOU GET HER

TO MAKE YOU SOME MOUNTAIN-GROWN?

WANT TO SPREAD A FEW WORDS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ME, BIG MAMA?

YOUR WORD IS MY WORD, STONE.

I'M LOOKING FOR A RARE WALKING CANE WITH A SILVER HEAD.

AND ANYTHING ON VERA BROWNMILLER.

YEAH, I HEARD SHE WAS RIPPED OFF,

BUT SHE STILL LIVES ON IN LIVING COLOR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

SHIT, MAN, SHE USED TO MOONLIGHT FOR OLD MAX MAJORS,

MAKING ALL THEM PUSSY PICTURES.

WE HAVE ONE PLAYING AROUND THE CORNER NOW.

YEAH?

YEAH.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

OH, WHAT CHANGE?

A BUCK.

I'M EXPECTING MORE FROM YOU IN A COUPLE DAYS.

THERE'S ANOTHER 20 FOR YOU. I'LL FORGET YOU RIPPED OFF GIAPENE.

HA HA HA HA!

I LIKE THAT NIGGER.

HE SURE IS FAIR.

GOOD MORNING, SIR. HOW ARE YOU?

WHY, JUST A MINUTE.

I GOT SOME RAW FILM FROM NATIONAL LAB FOR MR. MAJORS.

NOBODY'S IN THE OFFICE.

THEY'RE ALL SHOOTING ON STAGE 16.

O.K. CAMERA READY?

YEAH, WE'RE READY.

ALL RIGHT. PLACES, PLEASE.

BRUCE.

NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.

GO OVER TO THE BED.

TRY TO KEEP YOUR MIND OFF WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

O.K. ROLL 'EM.

SCENE SEVEN, TAKE ONE.

ACTION.

[CAMERA RUNS]

[BED SPRINGS SQUEAK]

[SPRINGS SQUEAK]

[SPRINGS SQUEAK]

WHICH ONE IS MAX MAJORS?

OVER THERE.

[SPRINGS SQUEAK]

THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD, HUH?

HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?

THEY HAVE TO REHEARSE MUCH FOR THIS?

WHO ARE YOU?

WELL, I COULD BE FROM THE VICE SQUAD.

BUT I AIN'T.

BUT I COULD PUT A DIME IN THE PHONE

AND GET LIEUTENANT BOWEN OVER HERE PRETTY QUICK.

WANT TO GO SOMEPLACE AND TALK?

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT?

NAME'S STONE.

[SPRINGS SQUEAK]

I'M A FRIEND OF, UH, VERA BROWNMILLER'S,

ONE OF YOUR LEADING LADIES.

COME ON.

CUT. JIM, BRING THAT LIGHT UP.

GOT A DOUBLE ON IT?

YEAH.

GET IT ON THE BED.

NO, HIGHER.

O.K., SPOT IT.

JUST WHAT IS IT YOU'RE AFTER, MR. STONE?

THAT'S QUITE A DROP FOR YOU, ISN'T IT?

I'VE HEARD ALL THE STORIES

ABOUT HOW PEOPLE GOT STARTED THIS WAY,

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WORKED IN REVERSE.

I WAS NEVER WHAT'S CALLED A CREATIVE PRODUCER.

I WAS A DEAL MAKER. I MADE MONEY.

YOU CAN BUY CREATIVITY. I STILL MAKE MONEY.

GET ON WITH YOUR BUSINESS SO I CAN DO MINE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT VERA BROWNMILLER'S DEAD?

I READ IT IN THE PAPERS.

NOT AN UNUSUAL ENDING FOR A WOMAN LIKE HER.

HOW WELL DID YOU KNOW HER?

I WOULDN'T SAY I KNEW HER AT ALL.

SHE WAS JUST AN ACTRESS WE USED A FEW TIMES AS A FAVOR.

HA. SHE WOULD'VE LIKED THAT.

YEAH...YOU CALLING HER AN ACTRESS.

HMM.

YOU MENTIONED A FAVOR. FOR WHO?

AN OLD FRIEND.

MARCUS ROLLO.

THE ACTOR?

YES.

THE ONE WHO JUST DIED?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE WENT BACK A LONG WAY.

I ADMIRED HIS STYLE.

HE WAS A SHOWMAN IN THE TRUEST SENSE.

ANYWAY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT,

THIS, UH, VERA WAS A PROTEGEE OF SORTS.

DID YOU EVER SEE HER OUTSIDE THE STUDIO? SOCIALLY, I MEAN.

I DON'T THINK I SPOKE TWO WORDS TO HER

ON OR OFF THE SET.

I LET MY DIRECTOR HANDLE THAT.

FRANKLY, ALL THIS REVOLTS ME.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE, MR. STONE? I'M VERY BUSY.

OH. YEAH, THAT'S ALL.

IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE, GIVE ME A CALL.

YOU HAVE A CARD?

YOU GOT A PEN?

PHONE CALL, MAX.

BE RIGHT THERE.

IF I'M NOT IN, JUST LEAVE A MESSAGE.

GOOD DAY, MR. STONE.

THEY'RE HERE FOR THE DELIVERY.

DAMN THAT T.T.

MAJORS HERE.

WELL, WE'VE RUN INTO A SNAG.

WELL, WE'VE SEARCHED THE ENTIRE HOUSE.

THE OLD LADY KEPT IT WITH HER TILL THE BURIAL.

WHEN HE GOT BACK TO THE GRAVE, IT WAS GONE.

WELL, SOME HOOKER NAMED VERA BROWNMILLER.

NO. SHE KNEW. THAT'S WHY SHE TOOK IT.

YEAH. HE, UH...

HE SENT CHESS.

YEAH, I KNOW YOU SAID NOT TO USE HIM.

Goddamn T.T.

YEAH. UH, LOOK, I HAVE MY OWN TROUBLES.

OH, SOM SHVART SHAMUS HAS BEEN SNOOPING AROUND.

OH, UH...

"SHEPARD STONE,

CARE OF SIEGAL'S BAR, VENICE."

YES, MAY I HELP YOU, SIR?

YES, I'D LIKE TO SEE MISS FRANCIS.

MY NAME IS STONE.

DO YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, MR. STONE?

NO, BUT YOU MIGHT MENTION TO HER

WE HAVE A MUTUAL ABERRATION.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SH WILL.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

WHAT WAS THAT?

HMM? OH, MR. JAIMIE IS MISS FRANCIS' PERSONAL ASSISTANT.

OH, MY MISTAKE. I THOUGHT SHE WAS A MODEL.

WILL YOU FOLLOW ME, MR. STONE?

AH, MR. STONE.

SO WE MEET FORMALLY.

I FIGURED IT'S ABOUT TIME

SINCE WE'RE BOTH SCREWING THE SAME CHICK.

FRANCIS.

I'M SO ANGRY.

LOOK AT THESE LAYOUTS.

THEY'RE HORRENDOUS.

I MEAN, WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO POLLY, ANYWAY?

THESE ARE NOT THE DESIGNS I ORDERED.

NO, THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE THE ONES I REORDERED.

WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.

BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU CHOSE NOT TO FOLLOW MY SUGGESTION.

THEY WERE MERELY SUGGESTIONS.

THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. YOU KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH.

NOW, WILL YOU EXCUSE ME, PLEASE?

WELL, I GUESS THAT'LL HAVE TO DO.

I'M CERTAIN IT WILL.

THAT WAS A VERY VULGAR WAY OF EXPRESSING OUR RELATIONSHIP, STONE.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU WERE A MAN OF, UH...

SOME CULTURE.

LOOK, LADY, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO

OR WHAT YOU DO IT WITH.

YOU JUST LEAVE CYNTHIA ALONE.

WOULD YOU CARE FOR A DRINK?

SURE. FINE. WHY NOT?

ANYTHING YOU GOT'S ALL RIGHT.

CYNTHIA IS A VERY UNSTABLE GIRL.

I USED TO THINK HER A LOVELY, NAIVE CHILD...

BUT CLEVER ENOUGH TO WORK HERSELF

INTO A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS WITHOUT A DIME TO HER NAME.

HOW DO YOU THINK SHE GOT HER BOUTIQUE?

YOU.

CORRECT.

AND, UH...

YOU LIKE BEING USED?

PEOPLE ONLY DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, MR. STONE.

CHEERS.

I SEE YOU'RE WEARING A WEDDING BAND.

IT'S LEGITIMATE.

HAS BEEN FOR YEARS.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE A...CONVENIENT RELATIONSHIP.

NOT, UH, JAIMIE BOY.

OH, YOU ARE A DEVIL, AREN'T YOU, MR. STONE?

IS CYNTHIA INTO YOU FOR A LOT OF BREAD?

WHY? WOULD YOU BE IN A POSITION

TO BAIL HER OUT IF SHE WERE?

FRANKLY, CYNTHIA STAYS WITH ME BECAUSE SHE LIKES ME.

SHE STAYS WITH YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR HER.

OF COURSE. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU.

LOOK, MR. STONE. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A MAN OF MEANS.

SUPPOSE I GIVE YOU $500.

JUST LEAVE HER ALONE.

AND HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO STOP ME?

THIS SORT OF PLACES YOU

AT THE BROWNMILLER MURDER, DOESN'T IT?

COPS...

PUBLICITY...

KIND OF BAD FOR THE CAREER, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

I'M BEGINNING TO BE ATTRACTED TO YOU, SHEP.

CRYBABIES TURN MY STOMACH.

YOU JUST KNOW TOO MANY JAIMIES, BABY.

I CAN SOMETIMES BE MORE OF A WOMAN THAN CYN-CYN, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

YEAH, YOU ARE TEMPTING.

AND FRANKLY, CYNTHIA LIKES WOMEN.

MR. STONE...

I HAPPEN TO BE A LOT OF WOMAN.

YOU'RE A FOXY LADY, ALL RIGHT.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

FREELOADING AGAIN, HEY, STONE?

WELL, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, LOU.

HOW ABOUT ANOTHER DOUBLE?

ANOTHER DOUBLE?

AND YOU INTO ME FOR A COUPLE OF "C" NOTES.

OH, BOY, OH, BOY.

I TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I'M GOING TO BOOST THE ECONOMY.

I'LL CUT YOU. DOUBLE OR NOTHING.

WHAT, FOR THE TWO BILLS?

YOU DON'T BELIEVE I THINK YOU'RE THAT STUPID, DO YOU?

THE DRINK.

COME ON. WHAT THE HELL?

I ALWAYS LOSE TO YOU.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD. CUT THEM.

A LOUSY TREY.

IT BEATS ME.

I BEAT YOU WITH A TREY? A CRUMMY TREY?

I CAN'T WIN ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S IT FOR THE LOSERS.

WHERE THE HELL YOU GOING?

DRINK THE BLOODY DRINK. YOU THINK I'M GOING TO POUR IT BACK?

THAT MAKES 200 BUCKS YOU OWE ME PLUS A BUCK AND A HALF.

NOW REMEMBER THAT.

HOW CAN I EVER FORGET IT?

MR. STONE?

YEAH.

LADY WHERE YOU LIVE TOLD ME THAT I'D FIND YOU HERE.

YOU BEEN SITTING OVER THERE EVER SINCE I CAME IN.

TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER I CAN AFFORD YOU OR NOT.

YOU HEARD.

I'M NOT A RICH MAN.

IT'S GETTING MONOTONOUS IN HERE.

I'M RAYMOND DOLE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE AN EXCELLENT INVESTIGATOR.

EXCELLENT?

EXCELLENT.

WHO TOLD YOU--OH.

DON'T TELL ME.

MY EX-PARTNER.

HE'S ALWAYS THROWING ME A BONE.

YOU WANT HER FOUND, MR. DOLE?

YES.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU AFFORD TO PAY?

I WORK ON DAILY RATES AND EXPENSES.

I'M CHEAP, BUT I'M MEAN WHEN IT'S TOO CHEAP.

IT'S MY DAUGHTER.

AMY.

WILL YOU TAKE THE JOB?

YOU'RE NOT GETTING TO THE POINT, MR. DOLE.

OH.

I, UH...

I HOPE YOU'LL...

FIND HER SOON.

THIS IS AWFULLY TOUGH ON MY WIFE.

YOU ARRIVED JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME, MR. DOLE.

MY OFFICE EXPENSES ARE JUST ABOUT NIL.

O.K. I'LL FIND HER.

DON'T YOU WANT ANY MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HER?

NO, I'VE READ ENOUGH.

I'LL FIND HER IF SHE'S STILL AROUND.

OH, MR. STONE, UH...

WHERE CAN I REACH YOU?

WHERE'S YOUR OFFICE?

I'M JUST LEAVING IT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM, MISTER.

HUH?

THAT'S HIS PROBLEM. HE'S TOO GODDAMNED HONEST.

YEAH.

GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE, WILL YOU?

* THAT SAVED A WRETCH

* LIKE ME

SING!

* I WAS

SING FOR JESUS! * WAS LOST

* BUT NOW I'M FOUND

* WAS BLIND

SING! * BUT NOW

* I SEE

* AHH

* MEN *

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

AMEN! AMEN!

AND DIDN'T THE DEVIL SAY TO JESUS,

THROW YOURSELF OFF THIS CLIFF

AND PROVE TO ME YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD?

HE DID! AMEN! AMEN!

AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY TO HIM?

[ASSEMBLY] THOU SHALL WORSHIP GOD THE LORD!

AND DIDN'T THE DEVIL OFFER JESUS

THE GLORIES OF THE WORLD

IF JESUS WOULD WORSHIP HIM?

HE DID! HE DID!

AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY?

[ASSEMBLY] THOU SHALL WORSHIP GOD THE LORD!

AND DIDN'T THE DEVIL OFFER JESUS

THE GLORIES OF THE WORLD

IF JESUS WOULD WORSHIP HIM?

HE DID! HE DID!

AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY?

[ASSEMBLY] GET THEE BACK, SATAN.

WE ALL KNOW HOW THE DEVIL

FINDS HIS WAY INTO OUR HEARTS,

ALWAYS MISCHIEVING WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT HIM.

HE STRIKES AT THE HEART

WHERE JESUS LIVES

BECAUSE IT IS MOST VULNERABLE.

IT'S THE HOUSE OF LOVE,

LOVE FOR A LIVING CHRIST,

REDEEMER OF THE WORLD!

OH, JESUS!

JESUS, SAVE ME!

JESUS, SAVE ME!

EVEN NOW I HEAR A CRY IN THE WILDERNESS.

I HEAR A CRY OF THE LOVE!

IT'S THE DEVIL!

IT'S THE DEVIL!

OH, JESUS CHRIST...

SALVATION OF THE WORLD... IT'S THE DEVIL!

BEHOLD!

BEHOLD, ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN

WHO IS BESET BY THE SERPENT OF DARKNESS.

SHE IS NOT YET BAPTIZED.

SPREAD YOUR LOVE, GOOD JESUS.

GIVE HER STRENGTH FROM YOUR LOVING HEART

AND HER NATURAL DESIRE TO FIND YOU.

AMEN.

AMEN! AMEN!

JESUS, SAVE ME!

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

I'M ALL RIGHT.

AMEN.

OH, I HAD A BAD DREAM.

AMEN, AMEN!

MY ASSISTANTS WILL NOW TAKE UP THE COLLECTION

WHILE YOU ARE ALL CONFESSING TO ONE ANOTHER.

AND REMEMBER...

GIVE.

WE HAVE MANY EXPENSES TO KEEP OUR CHURCH GOING.

FIND JESUS IN YOUR HEART

AND BE GENEROUS.

[SOBBING]

TAKE MARY TO THE PRAYER ROOM

AND LISTEN TO HER CONFESSION.

JESUS...

WELL, MR. STONE.

DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE GOT RELIGION.

I'VE GOT MY OWN TRIP.

AND WHAT MIGHT THAT BE?

ALMOST ANY BOURBON.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, STONE?

CAN WE TALK SOMEPLACE?

[MAN] YOU SAID YOU SCREWED THIS GUY THREE TIMES.

WERE YOU SORRY?

[WOMAN] I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN I WAS DOING IT OR AFTERWARDS?

HOW MANY TIMES?

PRAYER ROOM?

LOOK, STONE,

I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.

YOU'RE NO LONGER A POLICEMAN,

SO I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE.

I'M LOOKING FOR A GIRL NAMED AMY DOLE.

SHE COULD BE A HOPHEAD 'CAUSE I TRACED HER HERE.

WE DON'T KEEP DOPE ADDICTS.

WE SAVE THEM.

YEAH?

WELL, I PASSED A FEW BENNY POPPERS OUT THERE.

THAT GIRL MARY WAS ONE OF THEM.

YOU TRYING TO IRRITATE ME, STONE?

HAVE YOU SEEN AMY DOLE?

YES, I'VE SEEN AMY DOLE.

SHE WAS HERE.

SHE COULDN'T ACCEPT THE LOVE OF JESUS.

I HAD TO ASK HER TO LEAVE.

WELL, I'D, UH...

LIKE TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE SHE IS NOW?

I DON'T KEEP TRACK OF THOSE WHO ARE LOST.

SHE COULD BE BACK WHERE WE FOUND HER.

AND WHERE MIGHT THAT BE?

LINDY'S POOH HOUSE IN SANTA MONICA.

YES.

ONE OF MY ASSISTANTS FOUND HER THERE

BEFORE SHE WAS BROUGHT HERE.

FAIR ENOUGH.

THANKS.

[LAUGHING]

WHAT IF REVEREND AVERY FINDS OUT?

[GIGGLING]

ONE OF YOUR HELPERS?

HEY, NO SOUL TILL 5:00, MY MAN.

IS LINDY AROUND?

SPEAKING.

I'M LOOKING FOR A GIRL NAMED AMY DOLE.

DOLE? NAME OF A PINEAPPLE, AIN'T IT?

NO, THE NAME OF A MISSING PERSON.

HER PARENTS ARE CONCERNED.

YEAH. YOU A COP?

I'M JUST A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.

THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT HER.

THEY JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW AND WHERE SHE IS.

I BELIEVE YOU, BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU.

I'M TOLD SHE USED TO BE YOUR OLD LADY.

NICE, HUH?

I SET ONE OF THESE ON EACH OF MY TABLES.

IT ADDS A LITTLE... CLASS TO MY PLACE,

SHALL WE SAY?

YEAH. YOU ALL CLASS.

HEY, MAN, I COULD AFFORD ROSES,

BUT I DON'T THINK ROSES WOULD WORK IN THIS ROOM.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

QUIT JIVING, LINDY. EITHER TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW

OR TELL ME TO GET OUT,

BUT CAN THAT SUPER SPADE BULLSHIT.

WELL, A BOY WITH A PLOY, HUH?

NO, A MAN WITH A PLAN.

I'M THINKING A LOT OF GRASS GETS PASSED IN HERE,

MAYBE A LITTLE HARD STUFF, TOO.

I FIGURE SOME NIGHT I COME IN HERE

AND FIND MYSELF A BAG.

DON'S A CON,

BUT MAYBE I'M THE CAT WHO KNOWS WHERE IT'S AT, MR...?

STONE.

MR. STONE.

HAVE A SEAT.

GET YOU SOME COFFEE, MR. STONE.

HEY...

DON'T BE COMING TO ME

WITH THAT FAMILY FRIEND STUFF,

'CAUSE HER FAMILY, BROTHER,

WOULDN'T LIKE YOU NO MORE THAN THEY LIKE ME.

HA HA HA.

YEAH, I KNEW AMY DOLE.

AND I DUG HER, TOO.

YOU MIGHT SAY I WENT THROUGH

THAT WHOLE NIGGER-BAG THING

LIKE SWEET TALK AND GIFTS

AND DOGGING HER ARM ALONG CENTRAL ALL NIGHT.

BUT THAT WAS BEFORE SHE MET THAT MOTHER CHESS.

I GOT A SCAR, MAN,

WHERE THREE OF THEM JUMPED ME AND NEAR KILLED ME.

SAID STAY AWAY.

I SAID, I'M PEACE-LOVING.

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT SHIT.

SO I STAYED AWAY. I GOT ME A REAL OLD LADY NOW.

WHERE CAN I FIND THIS CHESS?

I DON'T KNOW, AND I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

I'VE HEARD THE DUDE NOW DEALS IN HOLLYWOOD.

BUT THAT'S ALL I KNOW. YOU UNDERSTAND?

WAIT A MINUTE.

THERE'S A DUDE

WHO KNOWS EVERY JUNKIE, PIMP, AND HUSTLER

IN THE WHOLE LOS ANGELES AREA.

OH, YEAH. SHWERMER.

THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL HIM. THE WORM.

RIGHT. THANK YOU.

HEY, BROTHER, NO CHARGE FOR THE COFFEE.

BUT SINCE YOU HERE, STAY FOR DINNER.

PIG BUTTS AND BLACK-EYED PEAS FOR ONLY $1.75.

CAN'T BEAT IT NO PLACE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

YOU JIVING. SOUL FOOD? PIG BUTTS?

GO ON, BRO.

YOU GOT A LIQUOR LICENSE?

NO, MAN. JUST BEER.

JUST THROW ME SOMETHING TO READ WHILE I'M WAITING.

SOUL FOOD!

YES, INDEED.

HOW YOU LIKE IT, HOT?

AS YOU CAN GET IT.

HA HA HA HA HA!

GET YOUR SKINNY ASS OUT OF THAT TREE, WORM,

BEFORE I CLIMB UP AFTER YOU!

NOBODY CALLS ME WORM TO MY FACE, BLACK MAN!

I AIN'T PUSHING NO SHIT.

NOBODY SAID YOU WERE, WORM!

COME ON DOWN, MAN. I AIN'T GOING TO HUSTLE YOU.

I JUST WANT SOME INFORMATION.

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO BE CALLED WORM.

NO EX-PIG'S GOING TO CALL ME WORM, STONE!

LOOK...MR. WORM...

THIS EX-PIG IS GETTING PISSED.

THE LONGER YOU STAY UP THERE,

THE MORE STEAMED I'M GOING TO GET!

NOW COME ON DOWN!

I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.

I DON'T TRUST NO EX-FUZZ WHO DON'T TURN ON!

1...

2...

3...

WHAT, COP?

4...5...

DON'T MUSCLE ME, NOW.

HER OLD MAN'S A DUDE NAMED CHESS.

HE'S A PUNK PUSHER,

BUT WORD'S OUT HE'S GOT SOME HEAVY HE WANTS TO UNLOAD.

WHERE DO I FIND HIM?

OH, HE'S MEAN, STONE. MEAN.

IF HE FINDS OUT I DID THAT, HE'LL DO ME IN.

HEY, MAN, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!

NOW WHERE IS HE?

HYPERION. 1735.

ROTTEN PIG!

STUPID PIG!

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[ACID ROCK PLAYS]

[RING]

[RING]

[RING]

YEAH.

WHO IS IT?

AHA. CHESS.

ROOM 5A.

ROOM 5A.

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[MUSIC STOPS]

"COME BACK TO JESUS.

"LET HIM WASH YOUR SINS AWAY!

LOVE AMY."

YES?

MR. TALBOT?

UH, YES.

WHAT IS IT?

IF YOU ARE HERE FOR A READING,

I'M CLOSED FOR TONIGHT.

COME TOMORROW.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION

THAT YOU WERE OPEN AT ALL HOURS.

UH, UH, MR...

STONE. SHEP STONE.

STONE.

WELL, I'M USUALLY OPEN,

BUT I HAVE AN ENGAGEMENT TONIGHT.

HOWEVER, SINCE YOU ARE HERE,

I THINK I CAN SPARE YOU A FEW MINUTES.

WON'T YOU COME IN?

THANK YOU.

SEEMS A SHAME TO ASK YOU TO COME BACK ANOTHER TIME.

YES, THAT WOULD BE A SHAME.

A WONDERFUL COLLECTION, ISN'T IT?

PERHAPS THE MOST WONDERFUL OF SUCH A COLLECTION

ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN OFFERED

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR IT,

BUT IT'S PRICELESS.

HA. I CAN'T BEAR TO PART WITH ANY OF IT.

THESE MEMENTOS AND SOUVENIRS

OF A BYGONE ERA

ARE MY MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS.

MORE THAN POSSESSIONS.

THE GHOSTS OF MANY OF THESE DEAR DEPARTED PEOPLE

LIVE HERE AMONG THESE OBJECTS.

I COMMUNE WITH THEM DAILY.

THEY ARE MY ONLY REAL FAMILY.

HA.

AND WITHOUT THEM...

UH, THAT'S AN INTERESTING WALKING CANE

YOU HAVE THERE.

[CLOCK CHIMES]

OH, THAT'S JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING I PICKED UP.

I'M A COLLECTOR, TOO.

OH!

IT'S ONE OF A KIND.

WHERE DID YOU FIND IT?

BESIDE THE DEAD BODY OF VERA BROWNMILLER.

YOU MUST REMEMBER HER, TALBOT.

SHE WAS AN ACTRESS.

WHO ARE YOU, STONE?

I WAS A FRIEND OF VERA'S.

I SUPPOSE YOU KNOW THE CANE BELONGED TO MARCUS ROLLO.

YEAH. I KNOW.

IF YOU'RE FROM THE POLICE,

I'VE ALREADY BEEN QUESTIONED BY A LIEUTENANT BOWEN.

I HAVE NO MOTIVE WHATSOEVER

TO HAVE KILLED VERA.

WHO SAID YOU KILLED HER?

OH, DON'T KID ME.

I KNOW YOU POLICE HAVE AN INTELLIGENT DEPARTMENT.

I'VE HEARD OF YOUR DEVIOUS WAYS.

BUT, IF YOU INSIST...

I'LL ADMIT...

VERA AND I WERE VERY CLOSE.

YOU, SHE, AND MARCUS ROLLO.

I INTRODUCED THEM.

VERA WAS NOT ONLY MY FRIEND

BUT WE HAD A GREAT SPIRITUAL BOND.

SHE WAS MY MEDIUM ON MANY AN OCCASION.

A SCORPIO ON THE CUSP OF SAGITTARIUS.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THAT SHE HAD GREAT VIBRATIONS FOR THE DEAD.

WHAT WAS VERA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH ROLLO?

OH, MERELY AS A MEDIUM AND FRIEND.

SEE, VERA WAS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE

HE WAS EVER CLOSE TO.

STRANGE SHE DIDN'T ATTEND HIS FUNERAL.

YES. ISN'T IT.

OH.

ABOUT THE CANE.

I'M WILLING TO PAY YOU HANDSOMELY FOR IT.

WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED IN BUYING SOMETHING

YOU KNOW DOESN'T RIGHTFULLY BELONG TO ME?

YOU KNEW IT BELONGED TO ROLLO.

WELL, ONE DOESN'T ASK QUESTIONS

WHEN IT CONCERNS ONE'S HOBBY...

AS YOU CAN SEE.

EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE FOR IT.

I RESENT THAT, STONE.

YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CANE AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

AND I SUGGEST YOU RETURN IT TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS.

O.K. LET'S CUT THE BULLSHIT, TALBOT.

A FRIEND OF MINE WAS KILLED OVER THIS CANE.

MAYBE SHE DIDN'T STAND FOR MUCH,

BUT I FIGURE SHE DIDN'T DESERVE

WHAT CHESS GAVE HER, EITHER.

WHY, TALBOT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WAS KILLED

BECAUSE OF THAT CANE.

WHAT DID YOU SAY THIS WAS WORTH?

SARAH BERNHARDT SIGNED THAT FOR ME.

IT'S PRICELESS.

OH!

UHH.

WHY, TALBOT?

I CAN'T.

THEY'D KILL ME FOR IT.

WHAT DID ROLLO HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?

THEY USED HIM

AS THEY USED ALL OF US.

HE WAS JUST A COURIER.

WHO ARE "THEY"?

I JUST CAN'T.

ALL RIGHT, TALBOT.

I'LL BE BACK.

[JUKE BOX PLAYING JAZZ MUSIC]

HELLO, LOU.

HEY, STONE.

BRING ME THE SPECIAL AND A DOUBLE SHOT.

SPECIAL TODAY IS MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI.

BE READY SOON.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

HEY, BARTENDER.

YEAH, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

BOURBON ON THE ROCKS.

MAKE IT A DOUBLE.

RIGHT.

YOU GOT A CAN IN HERE?

STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE BACK.

STONE, I'M GOING TO CHECK THE MEATBALLS.

WATCH THE CASH REGISTER.

YEAH, LOU. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

ARE YOU STONE?

YEAH, I'M STONE.

YOU GOT SOMETHING DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE IT WITH ME

WITH AS LITTLE TROUBLE AS POSSIBLE. YOU DIG?

YEAH, I DIG.

I'LL MAKE A DEAL,

BUT NOT WITH SOME PUNK RUNNER.

YOU MOVE ONE MORE INCH,

YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE YOUR MANHOOD.

STONE!

PUT IT ON THE TABLE.

HE CAN BE VERY MEAN, STONE.

NOW WHERE'S THE CANE?

BEHIND THE JUKE BOX.

THANKS, STONE.

LET'S GO.

HOW'S THE SPAGHETTI, LOU?

GREAT.

THANKS A LOT.

TALBOT.

TALBOT.

TALBOT.

YOU SON OF A BITCH.

STILL DEALING ACID TO KIDS?

GET AWAY, YOU--

SICK BASTARD!

YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME!

COME ON!

COME ON!

GET OUT OF MY FACE!

JESUS CHRIST!

NO!

AUGH!

[MUFFLED GROAN]

[MOAN]

[CAROUSEL MUSIC PLAYS]

HAVE A NICE TRIP, MACK.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[RING]

[RING]

[RING]

YEAH?

THIS IS MOMS.

WHAT'S UP, MOMS?

YOU KNOW THAT OLDTIME MOVIE STAR THAT DIED--

MARCUS.

YEAH. ROLLO.

WELL, ANYWAY,

HARRY WOULD GO OFF TO HIS MANSION ALL THE TIME.

O.K., MAMA. YOU'LL GET YOUR BREAD.

[HANGS UP RECEIVER]

STONE.

AREN'T YOU COMING IN TO SAY HELLO?

WELL, I HADN'T FIGURED ON IT.

I HEARD YOU COME IN.

YOU STILL ANGRY?

WRONG. TURNED OFF IS MORE LIKE IT.

COME HERE.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

COME ON.

I'VE DONE SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL.

COME SEE IT.

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.

LOOK AT THIS.

DYNAMITE.

ISN'T THAT THE HIPPEST SUMMER PATTERN

YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

AND THIS ONE-- I JUST FINISHED IT.

WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?

YEAH, THANKS.

ARE YOU LOOKING?

MM-HMM.

PRETTY TERRIFIC, HUH?

THE FLARE AND THE FLOUNCE.

KIND OF SEXY, DON'T YOU THINK?

LOOKS LIKE PLAIN OLD BLUE JEANS TO ME.

BLUE JEANS?

SHEP, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

DENIM HAPPENS TO BE THE GREATEST THING

SINCE THE NEW LOOK.

THE WHOLE WORLD'S WEARING BLUE DENIM.

THEY'RE EVEN DOING CARS IN THEM.

STUDDED AND EMBROIDERED,

LINED IN FUNKY CHINTZ.

HERE YOU GO.

I SHOW YOU MY GENIUS,

AND YOU LOOK AT THE SPORTS PAGE.

AT LEAST, YOU COULD ACT INTERESTED.

YOU REALLY ARE UPSET, AREN'T YOU?

YEAH.

LOSING MY COOL ALWAYS DID UPSET ME.

I PAID A LITTLE VISIT TO FRANCIS.

I KNOW.

THE THOUGHT OF YOUR...

LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP SORT OF GOT TO ME.

I'M NOT A LESBIAN.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS

THAT SOMEBODY I FIND VERY INTERESTING

AND HAVE A GREAT DEAL IN COMMON WITH

HAPPENS TO BE A WOMAN.

I KNOW A LOT OF GIRLS WHO HAVE GIRLFRIENDS,

BUT THEY DON'T HOP IN THE SACK WITH THEM.

I'M ME. I HAVEN'T CHANGED.

I'M THE SAME ME

YOU'VE BEEN MAKING LOVE TO

FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS.

MAYBE IT'S ME THAT'S CHANGED THEN.

LISTEN.

I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD MADE SENSE.

REMEMBER?

NO COMMITMENTS,

NO SMOTHERING.

I REMEMBER.

SHEP, WHEN I'M WITH YOU,

YOU'RE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE.

I TELL YOU WHAT--

I'LL GET STARTED, AND, UH...

YOU CAN CATCH UP LATER,

IF YOU HURRY.

WHOO.

LOOK OUT.

* I KNOW WHERE

* WE'RE GOIN'

* 'CAUSE I KNOW WHERE

* WE'VE BEEN

* THE DOOR TO LOVE

* IS OPEN

* TOGETHER, WE CAN WALK *

* RIGHT IN

* FOR ALL THAT WE NEED *

* IS WAITING FOR US

* AND WE JUST MIGHT AS WELL *

* BEGIN

* I KNOW WHERE

* OUR LOVE CAN TAKE US, BABY *

* 'CAUSE I KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN *

YOU'RE VERY SPECIAL TO ME.

IS THAT A COMMITMENT?

[PIANO PLAYING]

I WASN'T LAUGHING.

IT'S LIKE A CRATER,

AND THEY PUT LITTLE SEEDS IN IT.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

MR. STONE.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

YOU ALMOST SOUND GLAD.

I'M DELIGHTED.

MAYBE I COULD PROVE IT TO YOU.

OH.

SOMEONE'S CAUGHT YOUR EYE.

YOU'RE NOT A MUTANT.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO GO ON RECORD, MISS FRANCIS.

YOU'RE MUCH MORE THAN A SMART WOMAN.

THAT ISN'T VERY SWEET,

BUT IT IS SINCERE.

COME ALONG.

THERE ARE PEOPLE I WANT YOU TO MEET.

MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL WANT YOU

TO FOLLOW THEIR CURRENT LOVER.

VOILà.

THE OBJECT OF YOUR CURIOSITY.

I'D LIKE YOU BOTH TO MEET MR. SHEP STONE.

WE'VE MET.

OH. AND DIANE, TOO?

NOT FORMALLY.

I'M DIANE DAVIS.

FRAN, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR TAROT FORTUNE TELLER?

WHO KNOWS?

PROBABLY IN THE STUPID SPIRIT WORLD.

ENTERTAINERS ARE SO UNDEPENDABLE.

WHAT DO YOU DO, MR. STONE?

MR. STONE IS A PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

IS HE?

A VERY IMPRESSIVE ONE.

HOW EXCITING.

ANY NEW DANGEROUS CAPERS LATELY?

YOU MUST TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT, SHEP.

OH, NO, YOU DON'T.

I'M GOING TO GET STONE A DRINK.

HE'S MINE.

I WONDER WHAT BROUGHT THE FLY TO THE OINTMENT.

ARE WE BORING YOU, STONE?

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE A BORE, MISS FRANCIS?

TOUCHé.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR BAG IS,

BUT THEY'RE SHOWING MOVIES UPSTAIRS.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THAT'S FOR PYGMIES.

I'VE NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM.

WHICH ONE OF THESE IS YOUR HUSBAND?

HE'S UPSTAIRS.

I LIKE YOU, STONE.

I'M BEGINNING TO HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR CYNTHIA

IN HER AMBIVALENCE.

WHERE IS, UH...

OUR GIRLFRIEND THIS AFTERNOON?

SHE'LL BE ALONG.

SHOULD BE INTERESTING.

EXCUSE ME. I HAVE TO PLAY HOSTESS.

I'LL BE BACK.

STAY THERE.

AHA. I CAUGHT FRAN WITH HER HANDS DOWN.

DON'T YOU FIND IT RATHER UNCOOL IN HERE, SHEP?

WHY DON'T YOU AND I GO OUT ON THE TERRACE?

I WASN'T LAUGHING.

NONE OF THIS SEEMS TO IMPRESS YOU MUCH,

PARTY AND ALL.

WELL, I JUST HAVE TO CONTENT MYSELF WITH THE BASICS

LIKE, UH, LIVING AND EATING.

AND STEALING THINGS THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU?

I'M PREPARED TO OFFER YOU $50,000

FOR THE FORMER CONTENTS OF THIS CANE,

NO MORE QUESTIONS ASKED.

50 THOU--

HOO.

OH, THAT'S A LOT OF PETTY CASH.

FOR A SHABBY EX-COP, YOU BET IT IS.

DO WE HAVE A DEAL?

DO I HAVE TO ANSWER RIGHT AWAY?

IMMEDIATELY.

WELL, IN THAT CASE,

I THINK I CAN MAKE A BETTER DEAL.

I PASS.

GIVE US YOUR GUN AND DON'T MOVE,

OR I'LL HAVE TO KILL YOU.

TAKE HIS GUN.

[SCREAMS]

THE CONTROL BOX.

STOP THE ELEVATOR. GET HIM BACK.

HE WENT OUT THE TOP.

GET IN.

GET UP THERE.

HE WENT DOWN THE POST.

I'LL GET HIM. YOU GET THE CAR.

UGHH!

[WOOF WOOF]

[WOOF WOOF]

AVERY.

YOU AGAIN.

WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?

WELL, FOR STARTERS, YOU CAN STOP LYING TO ME.

AMY DOLE'S WITH YOU.

I WANT TO SEE HER.

YES, AMY'S WITH US.

I'M AFRAID I HAD TO TELL THAT LITTLE LIE

TO PROTECT HER.

SHE WAS IN NO SHAPE TO SEE ANYONE,

BUT SHE'S FINE NOW.

YOU SEE, STONE,

WE TAKE THESE KIDS HOOKED ON DRUGS AND WORSE.

WE GIVE THEM A HOME, A FAITH,

SOMETHING STRONGER

THAN DRUGS, VIOLENCE, AND FORNICATION.

WE BRING THEM BACK INTO THE ARMS OF JESUS,

A LIVING, POWERFUL FORCE.

NO ONE'S HERE AGAINST THEIR WILL.

YOU WANT TO SEE AMY?

THEY'RE AT THE BEACH NOW,

BUT TOMORROW'S OUR BAPTISMAL DAY,

A DAY OF GLORY FOR JESUS.

NOW I WARN YOU ONE THING, STONE.

WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH HER,

WALK IN THE PEACEFUL PATH OF JESUS.

WE WILL NOT TOLERATE VIOLENCE.

I TELL YOU THIS

AS A HUMBLE SERVANT OF THE LORD.

IT'S A MIGHTY HUMBLE CAR

YOU GOT THERE. REVEREND.

THE LORD PROVIDES.

JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!

TAKE THIS CHILD INTO THY BOSOM

AND WIPE AWAY THE STAIN OF CAIN.

GIVE HER SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE

IN THE SPIRIT OF THE FATHER, THE SON,

AND THE DOVE OF PEACE. AMEN.

I'VE BEEN SAVED!

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD *

* IN HIS HANDS...

EVERYBODY'S GOT TO HAVE JESUS IN HIS HEART.

THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT.

LOOK AROUND YOU.

THIS IS WHERE IT'S HAPPENING.

THE DEVIL'S OUT THERE TO EAT YOUR ASS.

* HE'S GOT THE WIND AND RAIN *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT THE WIND AND RAIN *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS *

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD... *

IS MY DAUGHTER DOWN THERE?

I HAVEN'T SPOTTED HER YET.

WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

SOME SORT OF BAPTIZING.

BAPTIZING?

DO YOU THINK THEY'RE BAPTIZING AMY?

I SUPPOSE SHE'S DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE.

WANT TO LOOK FOR HER?

YEAH.

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS *

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS *

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS *

* HE'S GOT YOU AND ME, BROTHER *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT YOU AND ME, SISTER *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT YOU AND ME, BROTHER *

* IN HIS HANDS

* HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS... *

LORD, HAVE MERCY.

STAND UP FOR JESUS.

GET UP.

DO YOU FEEL JESUS IN YOUR HEART?

STAND UP, BROTHER.

STAND UP.

LET ME HEAR YOU SAY AMEN.

HALLELUJAH, CHILDREN.

OH, SWEET JESUS.

I GOT YOU, JESUS.

I'M WITH YOU, LORD.

LORD, HAVE MERCY.

THAT LOOKS LIKE HER OVER THERE.

THAT'S NOT THE WAY.

WE GOT TO TALK TO THE LEADER FIRST.

BUT IT'S MY DAUGHTER.

WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE

IS HE SICKS THOSE FREAKS ON ME.

FOLLOW ME.

BROTHER STONE.

PARSON.

IT'S "REVEREND."

MR. DOLE WANTS TO SEE HIS DAUGHTER.

WHAT KIND OF A MONSTER ARE YOU, ANYWAY?

LOOK AT THIS-- THIS...

THIS WHAT, MR. DOLE?

AND WHAT MAKES ME A MONSTER?

BRINGING THE LOVE OF JESUS

INTO THE HEARTS OF THESE LOST SOULS?

THEY'RE LIKE ANIMALS.

WE'RE ALL ANIMALS, MR. DOLE.

THE LOVE OF JESUS IS THE ONLY THING

THAT LIFTS US ABOVE THE BEAST.

HOW DO I TALK TO HIM, STONE?

TELL HIM YOU WANT TO TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING YOU, MR. DOLE.

AMY'S OVER THERE.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS?

I'M JEWISH.

GROOVY. SO WAS HE.

THAT WAS HIS PROBLEM.

I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

I'M NOT EVEN ORTHODOX.

BUT YOU BELIEVE THERE WAS A JESUS.

IT'S HISTORY, RIGHT?

LOOK, I WAS JUST WATCHING.

NOW YOU JUST SUPPOSE

THAT JESUS CAME DOWN AS THE SAVIOR

AND JUST SUPPOSE

PEOPLE MADE A MISTAKE AND DIDN'T BELIEVE.

EVEN THE PRESIDENT CAN MAKE A MISTAKE.

THE BELIEVERS HAD AS MUCH RIGHT

AS THE PHARISEES WHO TURNED THEIR BACK ON HIM.

THEY SAW THE LIGHT, BUT WOULDN'T BELIEVE.

THEIR PRIDE AND EGO WOULDN'T ACCEPT HIM.

IF YOU BELIEVE AND DON'T ACCEPT HIM,

YOU ARE AS UNHIP AS THEY ARE

AND YOU ARE DAMNED.

DON'T YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR SOUL?

BELIEVE IN THE LIVING JESUS WHO DIED FOR YOU.

AMY.

AMY.

AMY.

IT'S DAD.

YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER.

YOU'RE A LIAR.

ANYWAY, JESUS IS MY FATHER.

I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME.

THIS IS MY HOME.

NOW GO AWAY.

SEE WHAT YOU DID?

SHE WAS COMING AROUND.

AMY!

MR. DOLE.

MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS THAT YOU LEAVE.

YOU'VE BRAINWASHED HER.

THAT'S NOT THE GIRL I BROUGHT UP.

YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING TO HER.

OF COURSE I HAVE, MR. DOLE.

I GAVE HER JESUS.

YOU SON OF A BITCH.

WHERE DID I MISS?

WHERE DID I GO WRONG?

WHATEVER SHE WANTED,

I WORKED MY HEART TO GET FOR HER.

YEAH, WELL, MAYBE THAT'S IT.

HUH?

JUST KEEP WALKING.

AMY.

I GOT A MESSAGE FOR YOU.

HARRY CHESS IS DEAD.

HEY.

HEY, YOU! STOP!

WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT CHESS?

HE'S DEAD.

YOU'RE A LIAR.

HE'S GOING TO MEET ME HERE TODAY.

SOMEBODY WILL HAVE TO GET HIM OUT OF THE MORGUE.

WHERE'S THE HEROIN, AMY?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU'LL HAVE TO WHEN THE POLICE GET THERE.

CHESS CONFESSED EVERYTHING

BEFORE HE DIED.

YOU'VE GOT IT.

TELL ME WHERE IT IS.

IT'LL GO EASIER ON YOU.

IT'S--IT'S FOR JESUS.

WE WERE GOING TO SELL IT TO HELP PEOPLE.

DON'T BE STUPID.

HE USED YOU TO HIDE IT.

HE WAS GOING TO KILL YOU

AFTER HE GOT RID OF IT.

YOU'RE A LIAR!

CHESS LOVES ME. HE LOVES JESUS.

AMY!

COPS, MAN! SPLIT!

REVEREND AVERY!

AMY!

REVEREND AVERY!

REVEREND AVERY!

LEAVE HER ALONE!

NOW I GOT YOU, YOU LITTLE BITCH!

LEAVE ME ALONE!

STONE!

DON'T.

DON'T.

DON'T.

GO DOWN AND PICK HIM UP.

BOY, ARE YOU STUBBORN.

WHERE'S THE STASH?

NICE DAY FOR A SWIM, ISN'T IT?

SUPPOSE HE COULDN'T SWIM.

THAT'D BE ONE MORE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO LOCK UP.

OH, FOR CHRIST SAKE.

COME ON, COME ON.

CUT FOR THE STREET,

I'D SAY MAYBE... 1/2 MILLION BUCKS.

WHO THE HELL IS DOLE?

WHY'D YOU SEND HIM TO ME?

I SENT HIM? THAT WHAT HE SAID?

WELL, NOT EXACTLY.

WELL, WELL.

I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU, NICK.

THE BOYS MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY WORRIED

IF THEY SENT YOU TO CLEAN IT UP.

CALIFORNIA...

YOU'RE ALL FREAKS HERE.

PUT HIM IN THE CAR.

CIAO, NICK.

YOU GOT A REAL BIG ONE, STONE.

LOANS SYNDICATE DIRTY MONEY

TO PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET IT FROM BANKS.

NICK MASSETTI.

THAT EXPLAINS THE TIE-IN WITH ROLLO AND THE REST.

ONCE MASSETTI GOT A LOCK ON THEM,

HE FORCED THEM TO PUSH NARCOTICS.

OH, YEAH. YOU'D BETTER PICK UP MAX MAJORS

AND HIS GIRLFRIEND DIANE DAVIS.

SEE YOU AROUND, BOWEN.

YEAH.

HERE YOU ARE, SIR.

DO JUST FINE.

THANK YOU.

* I KNOW WHERE

* WE'RE GOIN'

HI, STONE.

* 'CAUSE I KNOW WHERE

* WE'VE BEEN
