May?

Are you there, May?

May?

May, May?

May?

Hey, come on.

Oh, is that you, dear?

May, come on.

Ugh.

Ah.

OK, I'll help you up.

Oh.

I got you.

- Oh. - I'll help you up.

Good.

OK.

All right.

There we go.

Woo.

I can't imagine what happened.

It's not the first time that you've fallen though, huh?

No.

I lost you there.

You better keep that right there.

Want me to get you a glass of water, or tea, or something?

I'd rather have a gimlet.

Yeah, I know.

But you'd better take it easy.

You can't keep doing this, May.

I'm going to fix you some tea.

But you gotta stay awake.

Talk to me or something.

About what?

It doesn't matter.

Read something out loud if you want.

Oh, maybe.

Oh, my-- my eyes can't seem to him to focus.

Why don't you just tell me what you did last weekend?

Do you remember?

Mm, fresh flowers.

There we go.

Oh, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.

There, that's better.

Yeah.

Good day, Wyatt, Matthew, and Edith, JT.

Oh, uh, I'd like to talk to you in a group today.

Because it is a bit chilly.

There's been a lot of commotion in my home since my last visit.

What was--

May?

May?

Just a minute.

Ugh.

Just a minute.

Just a minute!

What was that banging?

Did something fall?

You mean, me?

Did I fall?

Well, there was this huge noise.

So you naturally assumed it was the old lady down the hall.

Well, we were concerned.

That's all.

Didn't you hear it?

Well, I heard something.

But I was asleep.

Uh, maybe next door.

I think Denny's away.

Maybe we should call the janitor or the police.

Nora!

Well, what if his pipes exploded or something?

Oh, there'd be water.

Or worse.

Somebody could be breaking in.

I saw his television program the other--

May, what are you doing?

Exactly what you should be doing, leaving it alone.

I can't do that.

I know.

Goodnight, Nora, Duncan.

How well did you know the deceased, Ms. Markham?

Oh.

Ma'am?

Oh, sorry.

That's OK.

Take your time.

How well did you know Dennis Bowman?

Well, he was my neighbor-- uh, as well as that,

which is not very well when you come to think about it.

Mm-hmm.

You saw him often?

No, not really.

Occasionally, our paths crossed in the lobby or the elevator.

And our mail got mixed up a couple of times.

But I never heard a peep out of my neighbor.

I just assumed he was working a lot.

He spoke to you about his work?

No, hardly.

He did say he was a bar manager in the East End.

He wasn't?

At what time, approximately, did you hear the shot?

Oh, yes, the shot.

Uh, around 1:00.

Did you hear anything else?

Only my busybody neighbor knocking on my door.

Thank you, Ms. Markham.

If you think of anything else, please get in touch with me

as soon as possible. - I will.

Thank you.

Uh, Detective, um, can you tell me, uh, was he, um--

was he murdered?

You know, I ask, because I live alone.

And the idea that anyone is attacking or killing anyone--

We can't rule anything out at this stage.

But it looks like Dennis Bowman's

wound was self-inflicted.

No.

Don't think I'm a paranoid old lady.

Just call us if you think of anything.

Yeah, I will.

I will.

Are you all right in there?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm just, uh, looking for the tea bags.

Oh, they're in the cupboard next to the stove.

Right.

Yeah, I got them.

So you were-- what were you saying?

Oh, I was telling my folks about what happened to Denny.

The last time I saw him was the same day I met you.

Remember?

Mm.

Yeah, vaguely.

Oh, hey, there 403.

402.

You moving out?

No, this is for storage.

I'm making room in my layer.

May, you can throw that one on top if you want.

Oh, OK.

Can you manage?

Yeah, I got it.

Oh, I've got it.

Oh, by the way, I've got mail for you.

Have you got a minute?

May, the key.

- Oh, there you go, Brian. - Thanks.

Listen, be sure, and Let me know how

much room there is in there.

Because I've started another box.

Mailman's got a problem with numbers.

Go figure.

Here you go.

Thanks.

This is a week's worth of mail.

Yeah.

I haven't seen you around lately.

Yeah, I've been working like a dog.

Uh, I've probably got something for you, too.

Uh, what's your number?

That's Monica.

Monica, May, May, Monica and May's mail.

- Oh, thanks, Denny. - No sweat.

See ya.

If I had known I was going to get this reaction,

I'd have brought you here long ago.

You should have.

I like it here.

It feels so far away from everything, you know?

Yeah.

I feel safe.

You're not.

Don't forget that.

Too comfortable, you're going to drop your guard.

You belong to somebody else.

Don't say it like that.

Well, it's the truth.

He treats you like property,

like a fucking possession.

I want you to know that I would

never try to own you, Moni.

I mean if things were different, yeah.

Mm.

They could be.

They could be different.

We got to go, baby.

- Here. - Oh, thank you.

Right here.

Thanks.

How's your head?

Oh, I feel as though I knocked a few things loose.

I still-- I'm still--

I'm still a little dizzy.

Yeah, you should, uh, keep talking.

You were telling me about visiting your relatives.

Mm.

I told them about you.

Me?

Yes.

They always hear about my new friends.

Yes, what is it?

It's the police, ma'am.

Again?

I've already talked to the police.

Your Denny's girlfriend.

Yes, ma'am--

Inspector Pierce, Monica, Narcotics Division.

I don't quite understand.

Oh, well, I could, uh--

I could explain.

Oh, you better come in.

Just follow me.

Come on.

So Denny, um--

Denny wasn't a bar manager?

No, no, he-- he was.

But it was a crew bar, you know?

Uh.

Oh.

Uh, the crew is the local gang.

And they're, uh, affiliated with the bikers.

They, um, have their fingers in a lot

of different pies, casinos, video lottery

machines, some weapon trading.

And, uh, recently, they've been expanding

their biggest pie, heroin.

Was he a drug dealer?

He worked for one, uh, a drug trafficker, Gale Calmody.

Is that why he'd dead?

I don't--

I don't know, Ms. Markham.

Because the police, they haven't determined yet.

And Denny, he-- he might--

he--

I'm sorry.

Well, there's nothing to be sorry for.

You liked him, didn't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I liked him, too.

Not only did he have a sense of humor,

but he paid no attention to our nosy neighbors.

He saved my life.

Where's the rest of it?

Oh, you only get half.

You want to explain why?

This is a gesture of good faith from Gale.

Because as far as he's concerned,

the only reason you're still breathing

is because of the crew's long-standing relationship

with your cousin.

You only get half, because he wants

to get the 40 kilos you lifted last month

on top of the regular shipment.

You got a week.

No way.

No fucking way!

I already told you, those 40 Kis was not me, all right?

It's none of my boys, either!

I'm going to have a meeting with Gale

to straighten this shit out.

This is as close as you're going to get to a meeting.

Because from now on, Gale deals directly with Nabille.

So if you've got a problem, you figure it out yourself.

Or what, he sics his girlfriend on me?

Do you want the money?

It's an insult!

It's a slap in the face.

Forget it!

All right.

Wait, Moni, come on.

Can you at least give him a message for me?

That's no way to keep the peace!

Ah!

Put her down here.

Woo.

Want to dance with me, Monica?

Want to dance with me?

Ah!

That was a real tenderizer, huh?

Ah!

You fucked up my arm!

Ah!

Ah!

Want to see me go four for four?

Huh?

What are you doing, man?

I'm not done with her yet.

What's wrong with you?

Fuck.

Get off of me, you fucking flam.

What's wrong with you?

God, I can't fucking breathe!

I ought to give you a hand.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where are you going?

Open.

Yeah, come on.

Hey, Paul, open.

Open wide.

Atta boy.

OK, now, you tell Nabille

that, if any of the crew ever catches

his shit stain of a cousin so much as running

a falafel stand in his organization, all bets are off.

You got me?

Uh-huh.

Yeah?

Good.

You just got your one warning.

I would have cut the little prick's balls off.

Did you cut his balls off?

Come on.

He got the message, all right?

I'm sorry, babe.

I'm just glad you're OK.

Yeah, thanks to Denny.

- Yeah, thanks, man. - Yeah.

- It's all right. - Gale?

What?

Oh, yeah, the Russians.

Did Ricky sweep the office yesterday?

It's clean.

OK, we'll take it in there.

I've got a conference call, huh?

I'll see you later, honey.

Mm.

I owe you one, man.

OK, boss.

You OK?

Yeah.

I've got to go get some smokes from the store.

You want anything?

No, I'm good.

Hey, thanks.

Yeah.

Who is it?

Hey, baby, it's me.

I'm busy right now, Moni.

Yeah, I know.

But can I borrow the truck?

What for?

Go get us some dinner.

That's a good idea--

Chinese?

Sure.

Yeah, General Tao's chicken, shrimp and egg.

OK.

It may take me awhile. - That's OK.

Yeah, we're going to be awhile.

Go on.

I should start her up for you.

You know you want to.

I love this thing.

Give me a kiss.

Bye.

Bye.

Yeah?

No, I can't right now.

Because I got to go pick up something for Gale.

Takeout.

No, but I--

OK, fine.

Yeah, I'll be there.

I'll be there.

Hey.

Henry's on the way.

It shouldn't be long now.

One of you's got to go pick up Chinese takeout.

Two 38s, uh, 26, and a couple orders of sticky rice--

Pagoda on Burlington.

You got to get me out of here, Henry.

Because I can't take this anymore.

I mean, tonight was real close, you know?

If Denny hadn't have been there--

I mean, we'd get back to the clubhouse, I got to tell you,

it's not exactly reassuring.

Because there's Little John.

And he's got it in for me for some unknown reason.

And then there's Gale.

And you never fucking know with him anyway.

We are so close.

We are so close so to this thing, Bonnie.

You're the only agent this department's

ever been able to float into the crew's operation.

You're extremely valuable to us.

And we are doing everything we can to protect you.

Well, you dropped the ball tonight, Henry!

You're alive, aren't you?

Yeah, no Thanks to you.

Like I said, if Denny hadn't have been there--

Denny works for us.

I didn't tell you about Denny, because the timing

wasn't right.

I had to be sure that he was with us.

And I had to know that this news wouldn't fuck you up.

Has it?

No.

No.

There's a meeting on the 19th.

It could be all we need to sync the crew if you hear anything.

Russians.

Russians.

Yeah.

Gale and Little John are teleconferencing

with Russians tonight.

I-- I didn't hear any names.

But you know me.

I mean, that could be it, right?

OK.

I'll go check it out.

Great.

Are we done?

Because I-- I got to go.

What, are you downloading porn?

Fuck.

Give me that.

Gasser Field Avenue.

That's a-- that's a real nice neighborhood.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, I could ask you the same thing.

But it looks like you're mailing data from the office computer

to a West End address.

It's inventory records.

No, it's not.

Yes, they are.

No, bullshit, Denny.

Hey, hey.

Watch your mouth.

That's for Henry, isn't it?

Who?

The boss-- yours and mine.

Come on, Denny.

I know you you've know about me for a long time,

and now I know that you.

So it's good.

We're even, right?

The reality is turning evidence

on a fucking psycho who leads a small army

of other fucking psychos.

And I'm going to do it for two reasons, one, because I

said I would, and two, because I've been in this shit

for 20 years.

And I am fucking tired!

Look, I'm just glad that we don't have to keep secrets

from each other, you know?

What about this, huh?

Is this still a secret maybe?

Huh?

Stop!

What, did you think I wasn't going to notice?

How long?

Shit.

How long? - I don't know!

Couple months maybe. I don't know.

A couple of months maybe.

Do I have to tell you how absolutely fucked

that is from every angle?

Gale knows.

Oh, good.

Who else?

What about Henry?

Does Henry know?

Of course she is doesn't know.

You wouldn't.

This is a very delicate operation.

And you slip up even once--

If you rat me out, and I get pulled, where the fuck is

that going to leave you, Denny?

Did you think about that?

Look, I'm going to stop.

I am.

You know, things have been a little tight lately,

in case you haven't noticed.

I want to get these Ruskis the five-star treatment,

box seats at the hockey game, private room at The Cradle,

booze, blow, hookers, the works.

Yeah, yeah, you got it, G.

I mean, let's show these guys the crew hospitality.

These guys are from Moscow?

Nah, they're real Russians from Brighton Beach.

No, you dumb fucks.

You wouldn't know an oligarch from a Bolshevik, huh?

Why don't you pick up a book now and again, huh?

Or read a newspaper, huh?

Thanks, LJ.

Hot off the presses.

Haven't even hit the streets yet.

Holy shit.

Yeah, I know.

LITTLE JOHNL What?

Shit, shit, shit, shit!

Denny, hit me.

What's up, G?

Read the bottom.

Wally, how is it we didn't know about this?

I've been out of town.

You can be sure the feds dragged their little prick back

here to spill his guts, though.

Unless we spent them first.

You all right?

Am I being followed?

No, no, not at all.

I, uh-- I saw you go in the store.

But, uh-- well, I was smoking.

Uh, could-- could we talk?

Yeah, OK, sure.

It's just-- it's been nonstop, day and night, you know?

Yeah, you look as though you could use some sleep.

Yeah.

Just that's there's still so many questions about Denny,

you know?

Well, I don't want to alarm you, but, uh, it's

just there was this package that belonged to Denny,

and it went missing.

Package?

Yeah, you see, the feds are the only people

who knew about his other address, the one

in your building.

Uh-huh.

And that's where Denny was sending himself stuff,

secrets, evidence, files.

And I was just remembering that sometimes your mail

used to get mixed up, you know?

Oh, you know, I gave all of his mail to the police.

But maybe he gave me something personally

to hold on to for him.

No.

Nothing.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

But maybe you can come by later.

And we'll have some tea, hm?

Yeah, yeah, I'd like that.

OK.

I'll expect you then.

Is this Sleepytime tea?

No, I don't think so.

Earl grey, maybe.

Oh, I can't keep my eyes open.

Try.

Tell me what you did today.

Oh, nothing much.

There was a lot of coming and going.

Who was here?

Well, I-- I met Hubert at the elevators.

Who's that?

He's our maintenance man.

Those mailboxes of yours--

He said a couple of our mailboxes had been vandalized,

and mine was one of them.

Was anything taken?

How would I know that, dear?

Yeah, right, of course.

Who else?

Who else was here?

Um, Nora St. George and her nose.

And what brings you out of your cave?

Is everything all right?

Did you have a fall?

I heard banging noises.

TV.

I beg your pardon?

Television, an invention of the 20th century.

I know what a television is!

It was probably mine.

I've turned it down.

I'm only thinking of your well-being,

especially since that incident with Mr.

Bowman the other night!

Yes, Nora.

Thank you, Nora.

Say hello to Duncan--

poor man.

She's had her knickers in a twist

ever since what happened to Denny.

And then, um, I had a flower delivery and, um--

from a young florist.

And, uh, Brian was here to do a few--

a few chores.

Ooh.

Uh, I feel as though my hip's going to pop out.

Hey, no replacement surgery, no gain.

Good.

All right, nice work, May.

Thanks, coach.

I need a drink.

That's the spirit.

I mean, I encourage all my players

to get plastered after a game.

One drink does not a drunkard make.

I'm a big girl, doc.

You know, the thought the aroma of juniper berries

was a little stronger than usual.

Uh-oh.

What?

This was wedged back there.

I think it's the mail you sent to me fetch when you fell.

Oh, this is probably a lot of junk mail, anyway.

Oh, here's the letter that Julia had

her knickers in a twist over.

You're moving to Hampton Terrace?

- No. - Very posh, Madame.

It's an old folks home.

It's not my idea.

Well, maybe it's not a bad one.

I mean-- don't look at me like that.

I've got a lot of clients there.

And they're very well taken care of.

Taken care of has two meanings, you know?

Oh, is that my alarm clock?

Oh, no, uh--

social services.

They gave me a beeper.

Can I use your phone for a second?

Oh, sure.

You'll have more privacy in the bedroom.

OK.

Dear, Ms. Markham, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It gives us great pleasure, et cetera,

et cetera, et cetera, a dining room, lounge, concert hall.

Oh, a strong community, award-winning campus facility.

Welcome to the Hampton Terrace family.

Thanks a lot, Julia.

I got to take off for a bit, May.

Mr. Russell's having a heart attack again.

Again?

Poor man.

Oh, we've been down this road before.

You've heard of hysterical pregnancy.

Well, Mr. Russell's mastered the art

of hysterical cardiac arrest.

But you know, it's enough to whip his daughter into a panic.

I'll finish up when I get back.

Oh, leave it for another day.

No, trust me.

I won't be long.

I'm going to leave my bag here, all right?

Suit yourself.

All right.

Oh, Brian.

Drug trafficking, jail.

Oh, horrible, horrible.

Oh!

You know, the meeting, it's

going to open up a whole new market for the crew.

I can feel it.

The Russians will come, and do some business,

have a little fun, find out what swell guys we are--

sorry, babe and gals.

They'll see what a sweet setup we got, everything.

They'll be tripping over themselves to partner with us.

You said it, G.

Hey, Moni, what's up with your eyes?

I got to go to the drugstore.

Who the fuck for?

Yeah, what do you think?

I'll get it.

Well, Moni needs protection too, huh?

Hey, I love this thing.

I'll be back.

You know, the surveillance detail was made.

The Russians are going to be there in half an hour.

Now our guess is the discussion is going to move

quickly from drugs to arms.

Sounds like Gale's in way over his head, huh?

Also, Eightball is missing.

Eightball's missing?

Yes.

It happened yesterday afternoon when he was being transferred

to a maximum facility.

The correction van that he was in was stolen.

The interested party obviously paid off

three or four of the guards to look the other way.

You got any ideas?

Well, it might have been Nabille.

If he's smart, Eightball's already packed off to Beirut.

You can do this.

Do what?

It sounds like we're royally fucked, Henry.

Oh, no way.

You've got to be kidding me.

Henry, you got to be kidding me!

Henry, what you want me to just pin a badge to my jacket?

The bar has been swept.

They're feeling totally confident.

Denny will be there with you.

You just have to be cool.

Yeah, cool as a fucking corpse.

We got you to the kind with wings.

I hope that's OK.

Where is it?

Where the hell is it, May?

Where is what?

Where is what?

Where is what?

This is Denny's handwriting!

And I want what was in here right now!

That might be a problem.

Hey.

Hey.

Where is everybody?

Downstairs.

Our guests have arrived.

You OK?

Yeah.

We had a little setback.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You can do this.

You can do it.

I can do this.

Hi, Moni. Where you been?

The party started.

All right, let's go party.

So, what next?

Next, my boys are going to take you to a pita

bar, The Cat's Cradle.

You'll love it.

All the little kushkas are Russian.

Fantastic.

We got a--

we got a little bit of business we've

got to clear up here first.

It'll take about an hour or so.

And then we'll come and join you.

Good.

That went pretty well, huh, G?

It did, didn't it?

Yeah.

All right, so I'm--

I'm just going to leave you to it.

Yeah.

Yeah, you said you had something to take care of.

No, I did not.

No, I said we have got a little something to take care of.

Wh-- well, we're a team, huh?

Yeah.

How about a show of solidarity here, huh?

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, no, I just thought that you said you had something--

No, we're good. We're good.

Good.

Can you get the door, Denny?

Yeah, all right.

Wait till you see what I have got for you.

String him up!

String him up!

No, no.

Ta-da!

Shit.

It's Eightball.

Yeah.

There you are.

You got a visitor.

We'll make it a short visit, huh, Moni?

What?

LJ, get out of the way.

You don't want his crap all over you.

Come on, honey, waste him.

No, I--

I can't.

Yes, you can.

He has coughed up no more than a hairball for two days.

And we've been asking real nice.

My guess is he swallowed the whole 40 Kis.

We draw the line at that kind of internal investigation.

And Moni, well, I figured--

you know, after what he tried to do you.

Please, G. No.

Come on.

It's easy.

Watch.

Bang!

What's with you, huh?

Waste him.

G, please.

Please, I can't.

You can't or won't, huh?

Big difference.

Solidarity, loyalty-- take off your jacket.

LJ.

You see, Moni?

You see?

You're either with us or you're not!

Hm?

Wait, hang on a minute.

I know the problem.

Ah.

Denny?

Yeah.

Give me her makeover bag out of her purse.

It's just a little Dutch courage is required, that's all--

or Thai courage, as the case may be.

Well, forget the purse.

Huh?

You know what a woman's purse is like.

No one knows how long that stuff's been in there.

LJ, you can't be too careful.

Denny!

It's a lovely mix.

It'll blow your fucking brains out--

fresh in this morning.

Now hold steady there.

This won't hurt a bit.

Hold still.

There we go.

Let her go.

Whoa!

Moni, Eightball.

Go!

I asked you to smoke out on the balcony, remember?

Yeah, I asked you where the package is, May.

So it looks like neither one of us is satisfied, are we?

You've looked everywhere, haven't you?

It isn't here.

Tell me where it is.

Because I'm not going to ask you again, May.

I gave it to the police.

Bullshit!

I wouldn't be standing here if you had.

They could be on their way.

Nobody knows that I'm here, May.

Oh, just my luck.

Never a cop around when you need them--

present company accepted, of course.

Are you going to shoot me now, dear?

I-- I need to think.

I need to think.

Good, yes, think.

Take as much time--

Shut up!

May, shut up!

Shit, I've got to do this now.

Do this now.

What the fuck, Dave?

Yeah, yeah, the hit.

That's the cost of doing business.

Yeah, oh, yes, you are!

Just-- hang on a second.

There's someone on the other line.

Yeah?

Arnie, where the hell have you been, man?

What?

Well, get off the phone, you dumb fuck!

Dave, that was Arnie.

He's been picked up--

10th precinct.

Well, I don't how!

Tell him to got off the goddamn line!

All hell's breaking loose here.

Well, that's going to be goddamn war, man.

You bitches!

Jesus, just leave it to me!

Where's the tape?

Don't worry about it.

What do you mean, don't worry about it?

Denny, it's all-- all that we got.

And I need the tape.

I got rid of it, OK?

I destroyed it.

It's gone.

You destroyed the tape?

We had no choice.

It wasn't safe here.

Come on, Moni, look around you. The crew's going to attack.

What do you think is going to happen?

They're going to go to war. And it's going to get ugly.

So the fed operation, it's a bust.

Come on.

I think that there was other stuff on the tape.

I mean, I'm not--

I'm not remembering everything. - Forget it.

It's gone.

But I think I was really out of it.

Moni!

There was a g--

gun.

Moni!

I had a gun.

It's been taken care of.

Moni!

Get it together, and go.

OK.

Moni!

Moni!

I'm coming, all right?

Come on.

We're leaving.

Give me the keys.

All right.

Where are we going?

To see Nabille and work this out.

Give me the fucking keys.

OK.

Come on!

Hello?

Oh, Yuri, hi.

I was just-- no, everything's under complete control.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, it was not.

Stay calm, Man Yuri, li--

Yuri!

Fuck!

Moni?

Yeah.

Better bring along a bottle of JD.

OK.

Is it supposed to move?

If you stare at it long enough.

No.

I just wish it would multiply.

What are you doing?

Trying to avoid an accident.

What the hell does that mean?

It means I need to use the powder room.

Oh.

OK.

And how might I escape?

Through the air vents or down the drain, maybe?

You're wondering if the old lady can hold her breath that long.

Yes?

Hey, Blues.

It's Moni.

Hey, Moni.

Yeah, could I--

could I get a delivery tonight?

I don't know, Moni.

I don't think so.

Why not?

It's kind of tight here.

All, right, could I-- could I pick it

up first thing in the morning?

Uh, I don't think so, Moni.

Come on, Blues.

Moni.

Blues, come on.

Blues, please--

Moni, I got to go now.

Shit.

Oh, hey.

Hey.

LITTLE JOHN : Hey, Moni.

Little-- Little John?

How's it going up there?

Are you almost done?

Done?

Yeah, your ride's waiting.

Oh, what?

What are you doing? Wait--

Shut up, May! Shut up.

What do mean shut up?

Take it easy.

What are you doing to me?

Sit down here.

Moni, are you there?

Are you out of your mind?

What are you doing?

Ow.

Jesus.

Moni, are you there?

Moni, are you still there?

Yeah.

Did you like our little concert?

Gale sent a few of us to come pick you up.

Gale?

Is-- is he still--

Not that you give a shit.

But yeah, he's going to make a full recovery.

I can't say the same for you, though.

It's getting dark, Moni.

We've got all the edges covered.

So when you're ready to come down, you just take your pick.

Or you could speed things up and tell

us what apartment you're in.

I'll take my chances.

Atta girl.

Got to love the thrill of the hunt.

Oh, shit.

You're in way over your head.

Yeah.

Because whatever you might think of me,

there are men out there who are 10 times worse.

And they won't think twice about wasting

an old lady to get their hands on that package, May.

Or a young man, for that matter.

You mean Denny?

You can't tell me was it was a suicide.

Just-- this has got nothing to do with you.

Just give it up, May.

Now you can tear this place apart some more.

You won't find anything.

You can kill me.

You still won't find anything.

So it's your choice.

You either go downstairs, or wait for the police.

What's it going to be?

Come on.

Come on.

MAY : May Markham.

Please leave a message.

Thank you.

DETECTIVE LAVERY : Hello, Ms. Markham.

Hey, this is Detective Lavery returning your call.

Sorry I missed you. I'm on another assignment.

I was hoping to talk to you directly.

Uh, I'll try again later.

Or I'll drop by at the end of my shift, OK?

Bye.

Oh, shit.

Oh, god.

Oh, shit.

No!

Fuck!

Don't shit me.

Oh, god.

Oh, god.

What a fine looking couple.

Not a scratch on them.

You talk about charmed lives.

Oh, my god, Gale.

I'm fine, babe.

I just need to walk this off.

That's all.

I'll be fine.

Denny, come here.

What's up, G?

Little John was right about you, sir.

What did he say?

Denny, what did he say to you?

Nothing.

He just told me to look after things.

That's all.

This is a 9 millimeter, subcompact, short recoil,

self-loading pistol, tilt barrel locking, 10 box, round

magazine with one in the body.

Are you trying to sell it to me?

Want me to tell you what it does to flesh and bone when

fired at point-blank range?

Only if it helps you.

You know what would help me, May.

If you just tell me where it is.

Well, all the same, I think I'll wait

until the detective arrives.

You know the thing about little old ladies

is nobody ever questions their honesty, or their integrity,

or just how sweet they really are, you know?

Because I look at you, May, I see a lifetime of lies.

Because you would just and do anything,

regardless of the consequences just

cause you think you're right.

You don't know what the facts are.

You don't know what the shot is.

And come on.

Let's face it.

You didn't even really know Denny that well.

And you don't know me.

You don't know me at all.

But you just do what you do.

You do it recklessly.

And you don't think of the stakes

or the emotions involved.

Because to you, you're right.

You're doing it right now.

It's going to get you killed.

And me in my prime?

Yeah, you see, that doesn't fool me.

The old lady doesn't give a damn if she lives any more bullshit.

Hell.

Because there's a readiness that people

get when they're facing death.

I've seen it a few times.

Gale has it. Denny didn't.

And you? You're close.

You're just-- you're just so right.

You're still just so right.

Aren't you going to ask me in?

Oh, you're leaving so soon?

They're empty.

What did you come back to pack?

Well, the show's over.

I didn't see a point in sticking around.

So where's the package, Denny?

What?

The tape, the gun.

Moni, I told you.

I took care of that.

That's ancient history

Come on.

The problem is I'm having a little trouble

believing that, you know, especially

with you cutting out so soon.

You're wrong, Moni.

I cleared a path for you.

I stuck my neck out for you.

I-- I made plans for us.

What plans?

Well, what did you think I was going to put

in those suitcases, clothing?

What, money?

Yeah.

How much?

Well, why don't you think of a number between eight and 10,

and then add five zeros after it.

40 kilos.

That was you?

You set up Eightball.

Yeah, I set up Eightball.

That's as far as I wanted to go.

I never wanted him to get killed.

You got to believe that, Moni.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Look, I told you--

Do you know who you're fucking talking to?

You're right. No, I told you.

I took care of that.

Nobody is going to know anything about it.

It's all ancient history.

Nobody's ever going to find out about that.

Moni, if we're going to do this, you've got to trust me.

Do what, Denny?

Disappear.

Moni, come on.

We can skip across the border later tonight at Akwesasne.

We take a day to get down to Gulfport.

From there, I've chartered a small plane.

That doesn't sound like the witness protection program

to me.

No, no, because we are way, way beyond that.

This operation is a bust.

The feds don't need us anymore.

Come on, you know that.

So what do you want to do, stick around, and wait for the crew

to come and slice and dice?

These arrangements--

Yeah.

--are they for one person?

What are you?

It was going to be, uh--

it was going to be a surprise.

If you didn't find me, I was going to find you.

There's a top-notch rehab facility in, uh, Georgetown.

Georgetown?

You checked out a place for me?

For you.

Because I really--

I mean, I want to get clean.

I know.

I really do, Denny.

I don't want to stay sick.

I know.

Come on.

Yeah.

Can you help me?

Oh, baby.

I'm still caught up.

Come on.

You've been a mistress to public enemy number one for two years.

Come on.

You deserve a furlough.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You'll help me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love you.

Love you.

A nice, long vacation.

Yeah.

Ow!

May!

It's Brian.

Sorry to bother you so late.

Who is it?

Is that the elder care kid?

I won't answer.

He'll think I'm out.

No.

He's going to call the janitor.

He's going to think that you fell.

All right.

Brian, just a minute.

OK.

What are you doing now?

Sit down!

Where are you taking me?

I don't want to sit here.

- Sit down. - Why?

Keep talking.

Oh.

Oh, uh, Brian, I'm--

- I'm not dressed. - Yeah.

Sorry it's so late.

I, uh, I came to get my bag.

It turns out, Mr. Russell really did have a heart attack.

But he's going to pull through.

Uh, hang on a minute.

Keep talking!

I'll be there.

I'll be right there.

May, you can just put a robe on or something.

What's going on?

Are you all right?

May, what on Earth do you think you're doing?

Is everything all right in there?

Do you have any idea what time it is?

May?

Sit down.

Start playing.

May?

Come on.

Play, May.

Is everything all right in there?

Come on, May. Play.

I don't want to play.

May?

May, play!

May, what on Earth do you think you're doing?

I can't play.

May, play!

The landlord will hear about this!

Hell of an hour for a concert, May.

It sounds like you're both out of tune.

With a pretty picture.

Let me guess.

Troubled adolescence brought on by dysfunctional family life.

What's wrong with you?

Trafficking, distribution, resisting arrest, 11 months

in Millhaven.

Is that where you met Denny?

He met me.

I didn't remember him.

Did he threaten to tell your bosses about your past,

make you peddle that shit for him?

Yeah, because there aren't too many ex-cons in geriatric care,

huh?

It was only supposed to be a little.

But he kept making more and more demands

and putting the pressure on.

And I was really in it, you know?

I-- I didn't know what to do.

You did what you had to do.

Denny fooled a lot of people.

Yeah.

He had a way of screwing people over.

Where is the money?

Check cashing place on King Street.

No, really, where's the money?

Downstairs in May's locker in a box marked summer dresses.

It was his idea, May.

I copied your key.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter.

That's not going to do it.

You need methadone or something.

You're junk sick.

When was your last hit?

When was your last hit?

Shut up!

Stop it, Monica!

Shut up, and sit down.

And don't either of you forget who's got the gun.

Sit, May!

Yeah?

Hey, Moni.

It's getting late.

I thought you might be needing a nightcap.

So I called up your buddy, Blues, to see if he'd

do a delivery at this hour.

Well, it turns out, he's more than willing.

Say hello, Blues.

Hey, hey, Moni.

Bluesy could fix you up right

away if you want to come down.

It's on the house.

For old time's sake.

Shit!

Ah!

You'll have to go downstairs now.

Did you--

Well, what are waiting for?

I'm not afraid.

I'm ready.

Could you send an ambulance?

222 Castle Field Avenue, apartment 402.

Someone's been shot.

It looks like I'm praying until then.

No, Monica, don't!

You were right.

It's much too late for that.

Oh, yes, books--

on the floor in the corner.

Liquor cabinet?

Oh, oh.

That's the wine-- right over here.

OK, right next to me.

Yes, siree.

This is the last one, winter dresses.

Oh.

Um, that should be in storage, I think.

There's some guy outside who asked

me to put it in your hands.

He said he was a friend of yours.

Oh, you put it down here, please.

I'll open it.

Let's see what that is.

Dear May, Sorry I stood you up today.

But I'm taking off for a while.

I know you'll be happy in your new place,

and I hope to see you again soon.

Love, Brian.

P.S, I hope you can forgive me for not telling the cops

about the winter dresses.

Get yourself something nice.

What is this?

Good god!
