[ alarm ringing ]

Who is it?

Rent'’s due.

Yeah, of course. What else?

MAN: Who is it?

It'’s Gruber.

MAN: Oh, shit.

That'’s all we got.

We'’re a little short this week.

We'’re a little short right now.

We'’re still a little behind.

Three weeks behind.

It'’s a hassle getting it together every week.

Here.

Hey.

Hey, my mom, my mother, hospital.

I'’ll catch you later.

Okay?

I'’ll catch you, all right.

I'’ll be back.

God damn.

Fuckin'’ lowlifes.

Good morning.

Morning.

Rent'’s due.Right.

You want advance?

Isn'’t necessary.

How long you own this place?

A while.

It must be nice to own your own business.

Nice talking to you.

[ doorbell buzzing ]

Good morning.

Need a room.

How long?

Well, couple of weeks, a month.

Put your name on the card.

Fifty bucks a week, pay by week.

Room 203, it'’s on the second floor.

No phone service, either install your own

or use a payphone outside the door.

That'’s it.

[ soft instrumental theme playing ]

Gilchrist.

[ doorbell buzzing ]

Penfield Gruber?Uh-huh.

Can I talk to you for a few minutes please?

About what?

We'’ll tell you about what, Gruber.

Now open the door before I'’ve to kick it in.

Suppose I call the cops while you'’re doing that, buddy?

No, no, no, no, no. You don'’t want to do that.

Don'’t make trouble for yourself.

I'’m not interested.

Get interested.

Open this fucking door

or I'’ll burn this fucking dump down.

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

We don'’t want to do that to Gruber.

That'’s not what this is about--

this is just a little business deal.

You'’re not gonna do anything you don'’t want to do.

Two minutes, we'’re in and out, two minutes.

You don'’t want trouble for yourself, do you?

Open the door, Gruber.

Thank you.

I understand you used to do surveillance work.

Not anymore.

Look, man, unless you want your legs broken,

you better start talking to us.

Hey, cool it, cool it.

You know a man name of Freelong?

I might.

Cut the might crap, Gruber.

You know that guy. He lives here.

He'’s a tenant here, Room 203.

I represent a certain party

who thinks he may be interfering with our business.

So what do you want from me?

We need information, all you can get.

What kind of information?

Oh, you know, conversations,

telephone calls, usual thing.

Leave the technical details to you.

It'’s five grand.

Two now, three on completion.

Hey!

You'’ll take the money, Gruber.

All right.

All right, let go.Okay, okay.

Go start the car.

What, now?

Yeah, warm it up.

Charming friend you have.

He has his uses.

You scrub the deal, you'’ll find out

what those uses are.

Now we got a deal?

Yeah.

Good.

Call you in a couple of days.

You better have something for us.

[ door closes ]

I don'’t wanna talk about it.

Hold it.

Why do you want to have sex in the elevator?

You want to have sex in the elevator?!

What is it with you?!

Fuck you. [ continues indistinct ]

[ silenced gunshots ]

[ distorted, slow-motion groan ]

[ gunshots ]

[ no audible dialogue ]

[ neon humming ]

Hey, Grub!

Hey, look.

I'’m sorry. I haven't catched you before,

but look, you know, my sister, she'’s there in the hospital.

You know, my mom and my dad--Yeah.

The whole thing, my cousin and everything.

Listen. I'’ll get the rent, you know.

No.

Right, look, the funeral.

You know, the rent is--

I'’ll get that first thing to you.

MAN: Damn it!

WOMAN: Oh, cool it.

WOMAN: I wonder how it went.

Don'’t worry. You'’ll be fine.

You sure?Of course.

It terrifies me.

If he found out, I don'’t know what I'd do.

Don'’t worry about it. He'’ll never know.

[ indistinct whispering ]

Did I tell you that Heidi Lamb

is going to playing at the Brown Ring Room next week?

No.

No?

Oh, but she'’s incredible.

Look, she'’s 60 years old, right?

A grandmother, and she'’s doing routines

that women half her age can'’t do.

Really?

If you like exotic dancing,

you know, you really can'’t miss her show.

You know, you might like it.

What is this?

Good, isn'’t it?

It kind of tastes...

Like beef bourguignon?Yeah.

And you know what'’s amazing?

What?There'’s no meat in it.

No meat?None.

What are these little things?

Oh, that'’s just some tamarind root fungus

I found at the market, um, seaweed, some blue cheese.

Hmm.

What'’s the matter? You look tense.

You'’re not getting enough sleep, are you?

I bet you'’re not even taking the vitamins I gave you.

Ow.

I have just the thing for you.

You need more lecithin in your diet.

I was thinking about that.

You know, I'’ve been thinking

maybe you should be taking better care of yourself.

Maybe you need somebody to look after you.

I think you doneed somebody to look after you.

See?

I'’ll consider it.

Wait. You didn'’t finish your lunch.

My stomach'’s a little upset.

That'’s why you need lecithin.

All right, thank you.

Are you gonna come over for dinner tonight or...

I'’ve a lot of work to do.

Well, see you tomorrow for lunch then?

Yeah. Bye.

[ applause ]

MAN: Please welcome our guest lecturer,

Dr. Penfield Gruber.

PENFIELD: Thank you.

Thank you.

The greatest challenge

and perhaps the greatest drawback

of behavioral science

is that we tamper not with static systems,

but with human emotions.

[ woman giggling ]

Anyone seen a clip of hollow point ammo?

I left it right here.

Huh?

Yo, watch the dynamite, man! Watch it, watch it!

Ha! Found it.

I loved it.

That look he had in his face when I whacked him.

You whacked him? Wasn'’t the look priceless?

I whacked him.

No, you hit the other guy.

Yeah. I whacked him, too.

No, man, you took out the guy with the glasses.

I whacked both of them.

Right.

Freelong'’s right.

He did hit the other two guys.

Of course I'’m right.

Yeah, you'’re right, man.

Hey, which sounds better?

Lawrence K. Borden'’s Slumber Parlor

or Lawrence K. Borden'’s--

Don'’t worry about it.

How do you sell

15 pounds of smack, huh?

You need a distribution network to do that.

We don'’t have that. Hawk has that.

We can'’t sell

until we get Hawk out of the way.

Can we, Sandy?

Right.

Would you cool it? He'’s working with dynamite.

We need to get rid of Hawk and his entire organization.

Am I right?

You'’re right.

I'’m working on another plan.

We get together here next Tuesday night.

I'’ll lay it all out for you.

First thing we'’re gonna need, heavy ordnance.

We need heavy ordnance.

[ telephone ringing ]

GILCHRIST: Hello.

MAN: You alone? Yeah.

You hired the necessary personnel?

I got somebody good. Good.

Just one thing: Why Wednesday?

She knows too much.

I don'’t like people who know too much.

No.

I mean, why do you want her killed on Wednesday?

Wednesday is our wedding anniversary.

GILCHRIST: Just a second.

It'’s your wife. She'’s here.

I got to go.

Wednesday, Gilchrist.

Enjoy yourself.

Got the tape?

Man, you look like shit.

Penfield! Hi!

Finally you showed up, and with your friends.

Hi. I'’m Adele Stepton.

Lilac'’s just my stage name.

Tell me what you think?

I'’ve been working on the routine.

Don'’t be shy.

I want to know. What do you think?

I loved it.Yeah?

Who is this?

A friend.

Friend?

The cousin of the assistant manager

of the Paladin Hotel in Las Vegas

is coming to see my act tonight.

So I'’m a little nervous.

Let'’s go.

And where did you get a name like Lilac?

Just made it up.

Would you gentlemen like a drink?

We don'’t have time for that right now.

Just one little drink, I insist.

They have to go.

Some other time.

Come back anytime.

Shut up.

You never talk to me and when you do,

you don'’t have to dump on me.

You could try being nice to me.

Just try being considerate.

I'’m your friend, Pen.

Besides, my big night'’s coming up.

I don'’t want you wrecking it with your attitude.

You don'’t look so hot.

You'’re taking your vitamins?

I liked your act.

[ on tape ] Anyone seen a clip of hollow point ammo?

I left it right here.

Huh?

I want you to hear it through our speaker system.

Come on, right over here. We'’ll plug it in.

It'’s a beautiful guitar, and I know

you'’re gonna love it.

Plug this in.

If I'’m not mistaken,

Buddy Dupree used one of these.

You got a beautiful natural tone.

Who am I listening to now?

Freelong.

What?

It'’s the guy I was telling you about.

No you hit the other guy.

Yeah.

They can'’t hear this, can they?

Not as long as the jack is in.

What?

Not as long as the jack is in.

I can'’t hear what you'’re saying.

Oh, don'’t.GILCHRIST: How did you sell

15 pounds of smack, huh?

You need a distribution network to do that.

We don'’t have that.

Hawk has that.

We can'’t sell

until we get Hawk

out of the way.

Freelong'’s got our property, all right.

Hawk will want this cleared up fast.

Arrange it. Hit him tonight.

Catch you later, cousin.

MAN: You hired the necessary personnel?

GILCHRIST: I got somebody good.

Good.

Just one thing: Why Wednesday?

She knows too much.

I don'’t like people who know too much.

No. I mean, why do you want her killed on Wednesday?

Wednesday'’s our wedding anniversary.

[ phone ringing ]

PENFIELD: Yeah. It'’s Peters. Stay out of sight tonight.

Why? Freelong and his friends will be...

checking out permanently.

Hey! I wasn'’t expecting you.

The light was on.I know. It'’s night.

You know, the cousin of the assistant manager...

I was telling you about?Huh?

You know, the assistant manager

of the Paladin hotel in Vegas.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, his cousin caught my act

and he'’s calling his cousin down in Las Vegas.

Isn'’t that great?Yeah, that'’s great.

Except he says I got to work on some new routines.

Here, tell me what do you think of this.

Could you turn that down, Adele, a bit?

He'’s gonna work with me real close before I go.

But it means I'’m gonna have to get down there

on my own hook to audition, so I was just wondering

maybe if you can wait a little longer

for the rent I owe you.

Don'’t worry about it.

And can you leave the music on so that I can rehearse?

Rehearse later, you got plenty of time.

What do you mean rehearse later?

Look, this is my major break for me!

Shh! Jesus Christ.

You don'’t give a shit, do you?

You hate my act.

I don'’t give a fuck about your act!

Why are you so fucking stupid?

It'’s all a come-on. Don'’t you understand that?

The goddamn cousin of the cousin of the Paladin hotel

just wants to fuck you.

All the men want to do is see you naked!

They don'’t give a fuck about your act!

[ screaming ]

Hey!

What are you doing?Getting away from you!

I'’m sorry. I'm sorry. Come here.

Get away from me. Taxi!

No!

I'’m sorry, I apologize.

Let me talk to you for a minute.

Let me talk to you for a minute.

Come on.

You know I'’m too upset.

Come here. Come here.

Come here, come here. Come here.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Where'’s my car? Where'’s my--

Your car is in the lot.

First, you break my heart,

then you'’re always telling me to shut up.

We'’re gonna get in a lot of trouble.

You know, this isn'’t your car.

Keep your voice down.

What if the police come?

Police won'’t come.

There.

Up.

You know what it is? Shit, man.

I buy her a ring, I ask her to marry me.

She'’s fucking around on me.

She'’s on your brain.

Whatever you think is gonna happen

that'’s what is gonna happen.

Psycho-Cybernetics, man. [ indistinct ]

She'’s a real woman's liberated woman.

Mellow out.

[ knocking on door ]

It'’s all in the mind!

What'’s that?

Oh, no, if that'’s the police,

we'’re gonna be in big trouble.

They are gonna think we'’re trying to steal this

or something.

No, they won'’t.

I'’ll buy it.

You know, if you want to buy this car,

you should ask Rupert to lower the price.

Hmm?There'’s a hole in the floor.

I'’ll point it out.He'’s been your next-door neighbor for years.

I'’m sure he wouldn't cheat you.He'’d cheat his mother.

See, that'’s what I'’m talking about.

He'’s your neighbor

and you don'’t dump on him like that.

I'’m sorry.Are you really?

Yes.

It'’s no go.

Come on.

Look, man, stay cool.

What'’s this psycho-schematic shit?

Psycho-Cybernetics.

It'’s what you think is what happens.

Positive thinking, man.

Come on.

[ silenced gunfire ]

[ distant dog barks ]

Killer legs, babe.

Yeah. I got killer everything.

This is beautiful.

Beautiful.

They bounced, man.

Did you see '’em bounce?

Shut up!

Now, I want this meat shipped out of here now.

Okay.

Come on, Borden, let'’s take this turkey here.

Flip him over, Borden.

Oh, honey, you go with Sandy.

Okay, clean it up.

Clean it all up.

Oh, he'’s light.

Rigor mortis doesn'’t jump in for 2 hours.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Enough of that shit, man.

I don'’t want to hear about it, okay?

How'’d it go?

Like a ballet. Let'’s go.

Let'’s go.

No. Let'’s stay awhile.

It'’s a nice car.

I think you should buy it.

You don'’t mind if we stay a little longer, do you?

No, it'’s okay.

Hey, what are you doing?

Did I tell you I'’m gonna open a funeral parlor

with my end?

You guys can be my first customers.

Shoot.

Friends?

Yeah. Christmas party.

You been drinking, sir?

No. I'’m just taking them home.

They wanted to drive, but I said no way.

Let me do the driving.

You'’ve got wives and kids.

What kind of a Christmas present is a funeral?

You can go, sir.

Personally, I have nothing against funerals.

I'’m an undertaker myself.

Have a merry Christmas, sir.

But funerals in December.

Flower arrangements wilt in frost.

It'’s undignified.

I'’m sure it is.

You book 30 days in advance, you get the seats for half price.

Fuck that.

I travel when I want, how I want.

It'’s a waste of money.

As soon as this thing goes down,

we'’re gonna have money to burn.

I think we should invest some of it.

Yeah, in some ordnance.

Real ordnance. Some slipstream.

Yeah, babe, I think you need to rest.

Look at this jerk.

What kind of a gun is that?

Nine-mil parabolic.

What do you mean I need some rest?

You work too hard. You gotta learn to relax.

Sit on the beach, get some sun.

Fuck the beach!

We'’re gonna go all over the world,

places we ain'’t never been before.

Uh-huh. First we need a rest.

I said I don'’t need a rest.

Look, baby, I want to go to Paris.

I want to go up the Eiffel Tower.

I always wanted to drop a brick

from the top of that thing.

What'’s this?

A list of expenses.

You got to talk to Sandy and Borden. They waste ammunition.

Who gives a shit?

Ammo costs money. They'’re always firing on automatics.

Well, not everyone'’s a crack shot, baby.

How much is this?

$900.

Oh, talk about waste.

Too much, babe.

Not for five genuine leather suitcases.

Fuck leather.

What are you swearing for?

Huh?

You want leather?

You got leather.

Good.

Look, baby.

We'’re gonna go away.

We'’re gonna go all over the world.

I mean, we can go to France,

eat snails, eat frogs.

We can to go to London, see, uh, Big Bill.

Ben.

Whatever.

The point is...

we got to get the fuck out of Canada.

This fucking country. I mean, uh...

they used to have gun control here.

Now every jerk'’s got a piece.

We'’re not taking those jerks.

You don'’t like Sandy and Borden?

They'’re losers.

If you want to get ahead,

you got to move with a better crowd.

You work with what you got.

They'’re amateurs.

You think so?

They'’ll bring you down, baby.

I'’m serious.

You go with them, I'’m not sticking with you.

All right, all right.

As soon as this thing goes down,

I'’ll get rid of them.

Whack '’em both.

Let me do it.

[ both laughing ]

Yeah, babe.

MAN: You alone?GILCHRIST: Yeah.

You hired the necessary personnel?

I got somebody good.

Good.

Just one thing: Why Wednesday?

She knows too much.

I don'’t like people who know too much.

No, I mean why do you want to kill on Wednesday?

Wednesday'’s our wedding anniversary.

Are you following me?

Yes.

I have something for you.

Well, what is this?

Your boyfriend.

Gilchrist.

I saw you meeting him at the motel.

He'’s trouble.

I don'’t understand.

Is that where you live, at the motel?

I own it.

What is it you want?

Money?

No, no.

I just want to help you.

Help me?

How?

You should listen to the tape right away.

What'’s on it?

A conversation between Gilchrist and your husband.

That'’s impossible.It'’s on there.

Please wait.

We could go, talk somewhere.

Where did you get this?

Just listen to the tape.

One of our people has turned.

You think so?

Freelong knew about everything.

He was tipped.Well, maybe he was--

He was tipped!

Who would do that?

Whoever it is, he'’s dead.

Yeah, right, dead. But who?

We'’ll find him. And when we do...

We kill him.

No one turns on us.Yeah.

I'’ll cut out his tongue and shove it up his ass,

rip his heart out, put his balls in a vise.

It had to be someone high up in the organization.

We got lots of people on the payroll.

Someone we trusted.

Lots, lots of people.

Someone close to us.

Fruit gum?

Move it.

[ tape rewinds ]

You'’re never there, Penfield.

You never were.

It doesn'’t matter anymore. I'’m going.

No more experiments, it'’s over.

There is nothing that...

[ tearfully ] I hate you!

[ telephone ringing ]

[ ring ]

[ ring ]

Yeah.

JULIE: I listened to the tape.

Can you meet me? I have to talk to you.

I have to talk to someone, please.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you know him?

For alas, humankind cannot stand too much reality.

I don'’t know what to do.

I don'’t--

I'’m sorry, I-- I'’m sorry.

I just don'’t want people to see me like this.

It will be all right. It will be all right.

Who owns this place?

A friend.

Did you find out anything else?

No.

I'’m so tired.

Why did you marry him?

I loved him.

I know it sounds crazy,

but I still feel something for him.

He wants to kill you.

I can'’t help it.

Flaw in my character.

Is there something I could do?

I don'’t think so.

I don'’t think there'’s anything to be done.

You could leave the country.

He has my passport.

He has all my money.

I know some people. I could get you a passport.

And I can give you some money.

You don'’t understand. It would never be enough.

You can'’t hide from a man like that.

How much would be enough?

The kind of money we'’d need,

no one has.

I don'’t think there'’s a way out.

There'’s always a way out.

We just have to think.

Were you ever married?

Once.

Don'’t get involved in this mess.

It has nothing to do with you.

No, I want to.

I want to help you.

What happened to your wife?

She'’s gone.

Where?

Just gone.

Don'’t go there.

I have to.

If he even senses I know,

I-- I have to.

Go to the police.

I can'’t.

Why?I just can'’t.

Listen to me. I don'’t think we have much choice--

How did you get the tape?

I was listening to someone else.

Who?

It doesn'’t matter.

Why were you listening?

He'’s going to kill you, that'’s all matters now.

I don'’t want to see you hurt.

Let me worry about that.

He'’s a powerful man.

He has powerful friends.

I wouldn'’t know who to trust.

Go to the police. I'’ll go with you.

I can'’t trust the police.

Please, Penfield, don'’t be so naive.

God knows who he'’s got out there.

For all I know, he could have had me followed.

It'’s late. I have to go now.

He'’s expecting me.

Thank you for tonight.

Partner, how you doing?Good.

Come here.

It'’s under control.I don'’t know, man.

Peters'’ getting suspicious.

Got all kinds of fingers point at me.

Of course, you do.

That'’s perfect. That'’s what they want.

Don'’t you see?

They'’re gonna want to meet with you.

You sure you know what you'’re doin'?

Listen to me.

This is where you come in.

Hawk and Peters will want to meet with you.

Oh, so I meet with them?Listen to me. You have to meet with them.

That'’s how we whack them, with the exploding jacket that Sandy'’s rigging.

You meet with Hawk and Peters.

[ baby crying ]I meet with them?

Will somebody tell that kid to shut up?

Mommy.

Listen to me,

you meet with Hawk and Peters.

I can'’t wait to see the look on that guy'’s face

when he realizes what'’s going down.

You tell them everything'’s cool.

You drop off the exploding jacket.

I call up.

It rings, I hang up.

You hear it ring,

you get the fuck out of there.

The jacket explodes.

Now do you understand?

It took me months to work this out.

Don'’t fuck it up.

Just do what I say.

Hey, this is really coming together good, partner.

Yeah, man.

Trust me, okay.

No, it'’s okay, it'’s okay.

Well, this is gonna be a very merry Christmas.

[ imitates pistol firing ]

PENFIELD: [ on tape ] Janine!

Don'’t die! Don't die!

Don'’t die!

I didn'’t know. I didn'’t know.

Oh, don'’t die, Janine!

Don'’t die!

[ tone ]

[ silence ]

[ telephone ringing ]

Yeah. It'’s Peters.

Yeah.

We'’re shutting down the operation.

We'’re wrapping things up.

You got any more tapes? Mm-hmm.

Bring them to 47 Rustic Road at 3 p.m.

Yeah.

By the way, it was nice to run business with you.

I appreciate discretion.

[ doorbell ringing ]

HAWK: Who is it?

Just a delivery boy, Mr. Hawk.

Don'’t bother counting, Gruber, it'’s all there.

What are you looking at?

I forgot my purse.

This one.

Gilchrist.

[ tires screeching ]

Just pretend you'’re filling up.

The fucking pumps are locked, Gilchrist.

Just pretend.

I picked this place '’cause it was deserted.

Brilliant.

How about asking yourself

what the cops are gonna think

when they see us standing here

holding our frozen dicks in our hands

in a closed gas station

in the middle of a snowstorm?

I didn'’t know it was gonna snow.

He called me.

Told me to hit Julie on Wednesday.

So you want me to hit her on Wednesday?

Now when do you want me to hit her husband, Hawk?

The next day or the same time?

Wednesday.

But I don'’t want you to kill Julie.

Pardon me?!

You got the hots for her, pal.

Back off.

You playing with a full deck?

Hey, who told you the drug dealer was gonna go down?

Me, right?Right.

So don'’t worry about it.

We got it all under control.

You ain'’t bright enough to have it all under control.

You'’re as dumb as Collinson.

What I want to know is

how come two dummies are all of a sudden

getting bright ideas?

You better be playing straight with me, Gilchrist.

I'’m warning you.

I don'’t know why you're talking to me like this.

I'’m your friend.

Fuck off, Gilchrist.

I'’ll call you.

Why didn'’t you tell me he'’s your husband?

I was afraid of what you'’d think of me.

Being with a man like that...

I was ashamed, Pen.

You should have told me.

I didn'’t know who I could trust.

I didn'’t know if I could trust you.

You knew the drugs belonged to your husband.

No!

No!

Did you know Freelong and Gilchrist knew each other?

No.You'’re lying!

I'’m not. Why would I?

You must have seen Freelong at the motel at some point.No, I didn'’t.

You must have seen him with Gilchrist sometime, somewhere.

I did-- no, no.

I mean, yes, I--

Is it yes or is it no?

Yes, I saw them together, but--

but I never thought--

I didn'’t think it mattered.

I didn'’t put anything together. Why would I?

You didn'’t think it mattered?

No!

I swear I'’m telling you the truth.

You have to believe me.

Everything that'’s going on is crazy.

I think I'’m going crazy.

Please. I need you, Pen.

You don'’t want to go away with me anymore, do you?

That'’s it, isn't it? My husband.

He'’s gotten to you.What?

My husband, he'’s-- he'’s threatened you

or he'’s paid you off or something.

What are you talking about?

I just wanted to be with you.

What did you expect me to think

when I saw you standing there with him?

You know what went through my mind?

Yes, I want to go away with you, yes, yes.

ADELE: Penfield.

Boy, you have a lot of TVs.

Your door was open.

Off to Vegas?

No. I changed my mind.

I went to visit my mum and dad, instead.

I don'’t think I have what it takes to make it to Vegas.

I'’ve just been kidding myself

and I'’ve been doing some thinking and...

it'’s not for me.

Thank you, Pen.

[ imitating Elvis Presley ] I was looking forward to a nice hot shower

and no soap, man.

Nice place you got here.

Really nice establishment.

Kind of reminds me of Heartache Hotel, man.

I got a big gig happening tonight.

Wish me luck, baby.

Peace and love, man, peace and love.

Close the door.

The King loves you, baby.

MAN: Hey, come here.

Come here.

[ sounds of passion ]

[ shower flowing ]

[ sounds of passion ]

Come here.

[ indistinct voices and light chuckling ]

[ beeping sound ]

So how are things?

Fine.Yeah.

Whoa.

It'’s decaf.

Listen, remember that experiment

Michael stole from you a few years ago?

I stole it back.

You know they pulled his grade?

Well, he was welcome to it.

It wasn'’t that good.

WOMAN: We'’re getting some feedback, stand by.

[ stammering ] I think I'’m on the right track.

I mean, I'’ve changed the conditions a bit,

but the results are better than electroshock.

Is it really?

Yeah, the guy'’s a schizophrenic.

I keep him awake for 72 hours, then let him sleep.

Man, you wouldn'’t believe the nightmares.

It'’s like a freight train going through his head.

MAN: Heartbeat'’s coming up.

WOMAN: Watch for bounce abnormalities.

Pen, there was a time

when you thought this was a lot of fun.

Hmm.

I used to think a lot of things were fun.

WOMAN: What'’s his blood pressure?

MAN: 180/60 and climbing.

Stand by the remote IV pump.

[ test subject crying out ]

Listen...

I need your SBU.

What'’s on it?

Two people talking.

What'’s on top?

Running water.

Jankovic, get in here, I need a tape scrub.

10 cc sodium amytal on the double.

Don'’t pump him till I give the word!

[ crying out ]

His heart has moved onto the Richter scale.

You'’ve got to bring him down.

WOMAN: Not yet.

His goddamn brains are frying!

Reel him in!

Pump him now!

Line in.

Jesus Christ, he almost arrested!

You'’re such a suck, Anderson.

You really are a suck.

What'’s going on? What?

Collinson thinks he'’s going away with you

after we sell the smack.

That'’s what I want him to think.

He says you'’ve been fucking him.

Men say those things, darling.

Freelong'’s gonna kill your husband tonight.

Should I get the smack?

No. There will be plenty of time later.

Time later. Don'’t worry.

After we kill him, it'’s just you and me,

I promise.

Let me guess. Not good, right?

I gotta get some air.

Thanks, Rich.

Hey.

If you need help, you know where to find me.

[ no audible dialogue ]

[ no audible dialogue ]

PENFIELD: Don'’t die!

Don'’t die!

Don'’t die!

I didn'’t know! I didn'’t know!

GILCHRIST: Got it all under control.

FREELONG: You ain'’t bright enough to have it all under control.

You'’re as dumb as Collinson.

What I want to know is how come two dummies

are all of a sudden getting bright ideas?

GILCHRIST: He told me to hit Julie on Wednesday.

FREELONG: So you want me to hit her on Wednesday.

Now when do you want me to hit her husband, Hawk?

The next day or the same time?

GILCHRIST: Wednesday.

What'’s going on?

SANDY: What?

Collinson thinks he'’s going away with you

after we sell the smack.

That'’s what I want him to think.

Freelong'’s gonna kill your husband tonight.

Should I get the smack?

No. There will be plenty of time later.

Don'’t worry.

After we kill him, it'’s just you and me,

I promise.

[ shuts off machine ]

Okay, try it on.

It is safe?

Of course, it'’s safe.

Now, listen to me,

there'’s a switch in the left pocket.

You go in there, you wait for my phone call.

I will talk to you.

Now listen to me.

I make the call, you throw the switch.

That gives you 10 minutes before it blows up.

10 minutes?

Now listen to me,

there'’s 10 pounds of dynamite in this coat.

There'’s enough there to sink an aircraft carrier.

How'’s it fit?

How does it feel?

Looks good on you.Fits great.

You got another one like this in the store?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

The minute you throw the switch,

get the hell out of the house.

You know the phone number, right?

I know the number.

Forget about the number, okay?

I'’d like to speak with Mr. Hawk.

Go in the door.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Way to go, Sandy.

That was real handy.

How'’d it go, babe?Like a ballet.

Now we whack Borden.

Had an axe, gave his mother 40 whacks.

I wish I had a chainsaw.

Let'’s go.

[ gunshot ]

[ telephone ringing ]

Yeah.

JULIE: [ on phone ] Did you get it?

Yes.

I'’ll pick you up first thing in the morning.

I'’ll be waiting.

I love you.

[ dial tone ]

[ gunshots ]

[ woman whispering ]

I'’ll get the tickets.

Darling... don'’t be long.

I'’ll be with you in a minute.

Thank you.

Hello, darling.

Happy anniversary.

[ gunshots ]
