Original subtitles

Put it down.

Right there.

What is this?

It came from up there.

Don't let her get away!

Get the hell out of here!

That's a pretty It's time.

Forget it.

Think you could get away from us?

No way.

Here it comes, honey.

Better get ready for the flood.

Look at that.

Is that heavy or what?

Won't be doing much breathing after this.

Oo, a tattoo.

Right a little more.

Yeah, that's

Curiosity killed the cat.

Want to write your name in the cement, Tito?

Dump her in the bay.

Makes the fishes happy.

Dearest mother,

by the time you get this letter, we will have

avenged our sister's death.

Pray we die on honorably, for we are no longer people.

We are wind.

What do you got this time?

What?

What do you got time time?

I walk through dark mountains, not even sky to guide me.

Forget the fortune cookies.

The only thing the Chinese are good for are noodles.

This is true.

You know, two days here with you,

it's driving me fucking nuts.

Well, when are we going to move?

When are we going to move?

Moss, Random.

What's happening in the real world?

OK, guys, here she comes.

Teddy bear hopping down that bunny trail.

All right, stand by.

She's going in.

She's going in.

Polaski, take it from here.

We're moving, Moss.

Hit the stairs.

Ready for Teddy, pal.

You're illiterate.

Maybe they did just send out for a good time.

Put one on.

No way out this time, Valejo.

What I'm telling you, is my cousin Tito, he's a pendejo!

Can I take a shower while you check that over?

Sure, baby.

Listen, we count 20 for Moss to get here.

One, two... - Buckle my shoe.

- Three, four... - Shut the door.

Five, six...

Pick up sticks.

Cesar?

You puta.

You all right?

Yeah, I think so.

Go!

Aiko!

Where in the hell did they go?

This is 555-5110.

Leave a message.

Recognize this old voice?

It's me, March, and it's been hell tracking you down.

I had to call you.

Tito Valejo's running New Orleans,

and into everything from drugs to pornography now.

And your old girlfriend Paula is with him.

I think I got something on Tito, put him away for good

this time.

I can't tell you everything now.

It's too dangerous.

I need you back in New Orleans by Sunday.

Meet me at the Lafayette Cemetery at six o'clock.

God.

I'm sorry, Billy.

I didn't know it was all just a set-up.

They got us surrounded.

Don't even try.

Save yourself, and get out.

Welcome to New Orleans, Davalos.

Just a few seconds, six o'clock, you'll be dead.

Got to thank you for inviting me here, Ryo.

Ready to party when you are.

Here it comes, Billy.

Ryo.

What took you so long?

I want to take you for a ride, Davalos.

You got a wild way of asking for a date, gorgeous.

You can have him, now.

I guess you didn't break any laws when you let

Tito's boys have a go at me.

This is New Orleans, Davalos.

We make our own laws here.

You know why?

'Cuz we always have.

I'll give you the keys, and a walk from the 100 years

you're going to serve for putting

six people in the morgue, if you do a favor for me.

You want me to do it, it can't be a favor.

Has to be a nightmare.

Two days ago, a couple of Tito Valejo's boys

were cut up on 11.

Yesterday, Pablo and Cesar Valejo were cut down.

All four were killed with Japanese swords and daggers.

Anybody see anything?

Both occasions, they killed the dealers,

left the mules alive.

You might know what we would find.

I bet you've got the keys.

I'll run you with a young cop.

It it is Japanese, you'll know more than anybody.

All I want from you is your word.

What makes you think I just won't run?

You get back for something besides your friend March.

Take this.

I'll call you, put you with my man.

You know, Polk, some law has never been written down,

more important than any laws in the world.

I pitty you for believing that, Davalos.

I really do.

Janie lives in a twilight daydream.

She's a wanton child.

She stands alone on a road to...

Leave me alone!

Midnight, in a world gone wild.

How'd you get in here?

I got this from Tito.

What the hell do you want, Stankowski.

You're making me look bad in front of Tito.

You don't need my help to look bad.

Look.

I've got a good thing going here.

You know what I mean.

Tito made you my responsibility.

So you've got to behave.

Is that a threat, fat boy?

Look, we're both going to end up answering to Tito

if you don't straighten up.

He doesn't like it when you disrespect...

Well, you can tell Tito he can kiss my...

I'd like you to leave now.

Slapping me around's not going to make Tito very happy.

I just did you a favor, sugar.

Tito told me to do a lot worse than that.

So you do me a favor...

behave.

I ought to kill you for walking out on me.

Would you like to hear my side of the story?

And what can that be?

First you tell me you love me, then you disappear.

Then you show up like some knight in shining armor.

The only thing I see is a heartless tin man.

And all I see is someone who should get away

from Tito before she gets hurt.

At least he's dependable.

Yeah.

As dependable as a bullet in your heart.

That's deep, Billy.

Then again, you haven't been much on communicating,

have you?

Looks like one of us has drawn some attention.

You'd better go, Billy.

Bad news travels fast.

Stop the car.

There he is, in the alley.

Marino, look here.

This is the guy that did your friend, Ryo, yesterday.

Wild Billy Davalos, who almost made the train

to hell with his friend Marsh.

Tito don't like you fooling around when his woman.

Wants to make sure you know that.

Is that it?

No.

One more thing.

I got him.

Did they disappear with the wind?

Captain, there was no way out of there.

I've got Tito Valejo out here.

After that, you can take her home.

Tito.

Great.

We're not happy about your nephews, Tito.

A couple of days ago, a couple of white boys

that I know, they get cut up like a bucket of pigs.

You guys killed Cesar and Pablo, carved

them like Thanksgiving turkey.

You know, I can't say we didn't want to,

but we never crossed that line, Tito.

You guys are crazy.

I got a call in to my dog in Congress.

Well, he does have a lot of dogs.

Now we talk.

My lawyers got me kicked.

I can go any time.

Wherever you go, Tito, you watch what you do.

Doesn't change the color of money.

We'll see you, Tito.

You guys don't get who I am, do you?

Last year, my mom kissed the pope hand in private.

Now, that takes a mountain of money.

Yeah, well, it's a funny thing about mountains, Tito.

You fall off of one, you may never get up.

I hate to tell you what your mother could kiss of mine.

He's dreaming, Random.

Yeah, the problem with that cocksucker

is he just made all the dreams come true.

Take the mule home.

I'll have your new man Davalos meet you over there.

Who's Davalos?

Don't worry.

When you meet him, you'll hate him.

Hey, you think she'd let me take a shower?

You're the best I got, because you always get what you want.

Thunder under the covers.

I want to be your stereo lover.

So much thunder under the covers.

We have so much that we can discover.

What's that?

It's my goddamn cellular.

I've got it.

Whoa!

Who the hell are you?

Who is he?

Polk, this is Davalos.

I just meant Random.

In fact, I'm seeing him in action.

He wants us to meet him at the airport.

He's got a rabbit trying to find a hole.

Do you know this guy?

How long have you been here?

I stopped in the kitchen, had a diet coke,

and made it in time for your grand finale.

Get dressed.

We've got a meeting at the airport.

That's my new partner.

They told me I'd hate him.

Um, can I borrow your shirt?

Sure, take it.

Thank you.

Tito.

It OK to bring in those men you wanted to do?

Just one moment.

Sven.

I want you, when I say the word king,

to take your gun out, and put it to one of their heads and...

blow it off.

Tito, these...

these are the specialists you wanted to meet.

My name is Emile Lautrek.

This is my good friend and my cousin, Henry Lautrek.

My cousins get killed by cops.

Then they deny it.

We understand.

I don't hire reputations, nor pretty weapons.

Quite understandable.

Can I speak to you in a whisper?

Certainly.

Sometimes we kill people In ordinary ways.

But sometimes we're more skilled and like a king.

How did you know?

He had to wet his lips.

They went dry when you said the word "king."

I'm sure this was the demonstration that you wanted.

I couldn't tell you.

He's in terrible pain.

Sweet.

Now you understand these cops, not like this.

I want them cut to pieces.

They got four of mine.

I want four.

Eddie will give you your money.

Thanks for making the journey to see me.

His gun.

Do you want it?

Keep it.

It's clean.

We've never touched guns.

We've never had to.

Move, and you're dead.

Charming.

We found her an hour ago.

She won't talk to anyone, and she won't leave.

This man's the distance.

Have a bullet ready.

Last year, my first daughter came to New Orleans

to do research on the trading of cocaine.

Six weeks later, she died.

One month ago, we found out she had been murdered.

My son Kon, and my other daughter, Akiko left me.

They have come to New Orleans.

How do you know that?

My son left the note.

It said, "Mother, when you see me again,

I pray that I am dead."

It's the vow of the divine wind as they went into battle.

They are killing cocaine dealers,

and will continue until they are killed themselves.

Why are you telling us this, when you know we might

have to kill them to stop them?

They have already killed four dealers.

I want you to stop them before they kill an innocent person.

What will that do for them?

It will allow their souls, when they die, to go to heaven.

You mule drugs for Tito Valejo all over the planet?

You mean to tell me you don't drink?

Now drink.

Good girl.

I'll see you later, Vic.

See you, brother.

We used to shoot Tito's mules after about nine months.

But, personally, I feel that pretty girls look

so bad with bullets in them.

But don't worry, sweetheart.

You're not going to feel a thing.

Son of a bitch!

Excuse me.

Pulaski and Moss, are they here?

Yes, they are.

Just, dial 29.

Wonderful.

Wait, please.

Yes?

Your badge.

Is there a problem?

Kitsi... was a cop, and that's his badge.

He died two years ago.

Henry.

Who are you?

I'm his angel.

Bullshit.

I guar-an-tee they're going to playoffs.

Via fettuccine?

Oo.

Random... Random did this.

Who are you guys?

We're the ones who brought you the meal.

So what do you guys want?

The man who retained our services

wants you to know his name.

And he wants us to write his nephews' names in your blood.

I don't care if they're cops or not.

I'm going to kick some ass while you eat.

Moss, wait for me, I'm telling you.

Fuck you!

What?

Flea?

It's Officer Random.

Random!

Officer Random, old buddy, hi.

How are you?

I'm good, Flea.

Wasn't so easy finding you this time.

No, I've been living in the beast's

belly for nearly a year.

Very low overhead, but, better when

you food order in.

Flea is the best vulture in New Orleans.

He can find anyone, and follow anyone.

My mother used to say, Flea...

she called me that...

Flea, you got no originality.

You a born follower.

We'd like you to do some work for us.

I'll get my tools.

You all going to be owing me a great deal

for my munificence.

You'll do all right, Flea.

You know where we could find Lips Levine?

I don't know where he is, but I,

might know where he was...

displaced.

Officer Random

on line three for Gordon.

Office Random on line three for Gordon.

Yes?

Tell Polk I checked in.

I'm in the lobby of the Avalon Theater

going in to see Lips Levine.

He's running ice for Stankowski and snow for Tito.

Excuse me, but who is this speaking?

It's Random and his loyal sidekick Davalos.

Who the hell are you?

I'm filling in for Gordon.

She got taken away.

Avalon.

Lips Levine.

Let Polk know, all right?

Right.

I found Lips Levine.

Great.

He's been displaced in the projection booth.

We'll take a little break, we'll get back to you.

My cellular number.

In any business, it's important to modernize.

You have a cellular?

Yeah.

The green ones are mine.

Diligence will always be rewarded, my mother used to say

This way.

So is it Le-veen or Le-vine?

Levine.

I always said it Le-veen.

Lips Le-vine.

Gosh.

Is this 100 years in the future?

Davalos?

What do you know?

Two guys you would never figure to be together

are together, like Mr. Hyde and Heckle and Jeckle.

We figured you might know where Eddie Stankowski is.

Me?

Me?

I love Eddie, but I never know where he is.

I mean, I'm not the type of guy that

gets invited to other people's places, you understand?

I'm just a crummy projectionist, you know?

It's getting very hot in here.

You want to a soda?

That's very kind of you.

Suppose you put some ice in it, because I

hear you got a lot of ice.

Got stuff in town, I hear.

You see this, Lips?

This is a drug charge.

You go away for life with this.

Fellas, what it is, I mean, I just couldn't...

I couldn't resist it.

Get rid of it, Random.

Get rid of it before he turns into a madman.

I'm just the shavings off the block, guys.

Stankowki's block?

He owns a piece of a place, OK.

A place where he stays and where he takes care of his industry.

And Eddie's got a vision!

Is that so?

Yeah, he's going to be the curator

of the pornographic history.

Yeah, he's making some history himself at it.

So he's was making movies again?

I don't hurt nobody. I don't hurt nobody.

No, it doesn't hurt anybody.

Just every kid that uses.

Where are we going?

Press Street Warehouse, near the airport.

Cocksucker picked it up for a song.

He lives there.

He works there.

There's this great pizza place right near there.

Building number six,

Eddie's favorite number.

Smart.

OK, could I have a word?

Can I get the popcorn now?

I'll wait for you in the car.

Your gun, or your friend dies on the spot.

You've got to be kidding.

Don't.

Give me your gun, or Henry cuts him where he stands.

Shit.

Come. We go inside.

We'll all watch some of the movie.

Why the fuck did you do that?

I didn't want to.

When someone sends us, there's nothing to do.

You are a warrior who likes to dance?

Only when I lead.

Sorry you didn't get to eat your popcorn.

I've seen this movie before.

Yes.

I like the part where they lose everything and still

have no fear.

You know who retained our services?

Tito Valejo?

Excuse me.

Go, lady.

I was just trying to ask...

I said go.

I understand.

Damn.

Start them up Henry, before...

You know we get to say a prayer?

Never kid yourself about god?

I'll get some help.

Emile?

It feels so ridiculous to die like this.

Do not follow us.

Is there some word for what they just did?

There is no word for honor killing.

I'm going to go after them.

You stay, tell it all to Polk.

Hey, we've got two dead bodies.

We've got to wait for Polk.

I don't have to wait for anyone.

You wait. You're the cop.

You know, Polk is going to bust me for this.

He's not going to do anything.

He wants them more than he wants you.

Random!

Yes, captain?

He got the Lautrecs dead, and the on the run.

They was holed in the theater.

That's when it happened.

Where is Davalos?

Went after them.

You let him go?

Waited for you!

You don't know where he is?

You're the one he said he keeps his word, captain.

You got three cops dead, your own team.

Don't let them go on.

Hey captain, you're turning west.

We're not following any law here.

There are no laws.

You follow the laws we make up, or you get out.

Don't let them go on.

Trying to make a point?

Don't go.

I don't have a choice.

They're going to kill you, Billy.

I thought you didn't care.

We can just go.

We can just get out of here.

We can go anywhere.

We can be anybody.

We can do anything we want to.

The world's our oyster, just you and me.

It's not that easy, doll.

That's just perfect.

Just like three years ago.

Who even gives a shit, OK?

Just get out the door, just let it slam, let it hit you, OK?

If I didn't leave three years ago,

your brother's blood would have been splattered

all over the streets of New Orleans

complements of Tito Valejo.

It's not true.

It's just not true.

Tito wants to see you.

Come on!

Get away!

Come on.

Billy!

Billy!

Go, go, go, go!

Glorious!

Weekend warrior.

Weekend warrior.

Where'd they take Paula?

Nobody wants you here, Davalos.

I said where'd they take Paula?

I've got nothing to say to you.

Let me put it another way.

More passion.

Come on, get into it.

Act like you like each other.

You're getting this right, camera?

All right, come on, come on, will you...

We're never going to finish this thing.

This is costing me money now.

I know.

Been having trouble with this director.

I'm just asking, if Davalos comes around,

you set him up for us.

We'll kill him.

Finish up for you.

Look, I wouldn't do anything for Davalos.

But for you, Pardee, I'd do a lot fucking less.

Come over here.

Your job is not to lose me the girl.

She's right here, isn't she?

Yeah.

But she could still be lost.

I know you didn't fuck him.

I didn't fuck him.

I know.

I know.

I'm sorry I brought you here tonight,

but with your friend out, I got all insecure.

And I just thought it would be best if you be here with me.

You don't need all the guns, Tito.

Time to dream.

What are you doing here, stud?

Work.

I'm here to work.

Here to work.

What kind of work do you do?

A musician.

What do you play?

Guns.

What...

What's going on here?

Tito, man, what's going on?

Where you going?

Concert solo, musician!

I haven't stopped playing yet.

There's a whole

bunch of fucking crazies shooting

the place all up in here.

Look, man get out here, clock everyone but me

and the girl here, and...

me and the girl!

Jeez, Davalos, I...

I'm glad to see you, man.

These guys... these guys come in, it was... it was crazy, man.

They... they had swords.

They were killing everybody in sight, man.

We weren't doing nothing, man.

They were just... just killing everybody!

So am I.

Let go of me!

Fuck, fuck, 9...

911?

The fuck!

I can't do it!

God...

Get ready.

You look just like her.

I'm only sorry for one thing.

I should have fucked her, then killed her.

Don't do it!

Do it!

She's not one of them.

- You. - She's an innocent.

Put the gun down, Paula.

Put the gun down.

Put it down.

Who are they?

Friends.

Let's get out of here.

Give me your gun.

It's empty.

Davalos.

It's Random.

Random, where are you?

I'm on the River Road.

I'm coming at you.

Do you have them?

I'm with the Sekis, but we're being chased,

and I don't have any ammo.

So you mean they have you.

I've got to stop all of you.

Well, you could stop me, or the ones trying to kill us.

No, I've got to stop you.

It's your choice.

Shit.

Now, right.

Fun!

Aha.

I think I've got to hang up.

Someone been shot.

Aiko

What you're doing, I've done.

But you have to know it's not going to stop the drugs.

I know what it's like to lose someone you love.

But the ones responsible for your sister are dead.

Come with me now.

We do live.

Random!

And now you tell me you've got to go and kill this man?

You know, it's...

It's not about killing, Paula.

I mean, I want to keep him alive if I can.

It's just that, you know, they...

they believe that they... they have to die.

And what about you?

Why do you have to die, Billy?

They'll kill you.

Only the good die young.

I wish I could believe that.

I got to take you with.

What do you mean bring me in?

What are you crazy?

Maybe.

But this time I'm not running away.

I'm ready to die.

I'm a cop.

I can't go with you.

OK.

And what do I get if I go with you?

Nothing.

I lose everything.

Yeah.

If I go with you, will you come back then?

If I live.

We kill them, or no one does.

They belong to us.

We belong to them.

Call Flea, get him working for us.

Good idea.

You know know with Flea.

Flea here.

Flea, Random.

We want you to find the Sekis for us.

Think you can do it?

Random, you're talking to Flea, the greatest

vulture in New Orleans.

I have them.

Are you sure you have them? FLEA: Sure I'm sure.

I'm a professional at this.

Well, whatever you do, don't lose them, Flea.

I can't lose them.

Why not?

I'm in their trunk.

You're on the phone.

How can you be in the trunk?

Modern technology.

Do you know where you're headed?

Yeah, highway 170 north.

How can you know that, if you're in his trunk?

I have this avuncular ability to determine

direction, like a bat.

Maybe I should call myself Bat instead of Flea.

Listen, Flea, when you get where you're going,

you call us back, you got that?

10-4.

You sure about this?

No, you're sure.

Just hit the 170.

If he has them, we have them.

You wanted a monitor on the mobile of our outlaws?

Yeah.

They're on the trail, 170 north.

Scramble the northern precinct SWAT team.

But what if we leave our jurisdiction?

There is no jurisdiction on this, just dead perps.

Flea here.

Flea, you find the Sekis for us?

This must be some kind of miracle or something.

I think it's a museum...

New Orleans Museum of Art.

They gone inside, but I don't think

they're in a rush to come out.

Three minutes, Flea.

We're coming in.

Over and out.

Random!

Davalos!

Random!

Davalos!

What is it?

I'll be there in five

minutes with two SWAT teams.

Get out now, and everything'll be all right.

Things will go back to the way they were.

That's in your mind.

You changed the laws again, Polk.

You've broken your word.

If you're still there when we get there,

it'll be like you're both with them.

He must have intercepted Flea's call.

Flea, I need to ask you something.

What do you want? I'll To anything.

This'll be your greatest job.

Yeah?

Would you go inside and talk to Kon Seki for me?

You want me to fix things up?

I want you to bring him to me.

Careful, Flea.

Are you with this, Random?

If I wasn't, you'd already be dead.

Somehow I knew that.

There's someone in the parking lot wishing to address you.

Yes.

This is not a situation of actuality.

This is.

I'm not fooling you.

We understand.

Be ready when I get back.

So you're the one who sent them to us.

Everyone has a job.

Your job is important to you?

It's all I had.

Please.

He say he'll come out and talk with you all.

You did good.

Take him.

Mr. Flea, what happened to you?

I think I got shot, brother, I...

Blood.

I think it went through.

You'll be all right.

Hey, you did good.

Couldn't have done it without me.

You're right.

Officer Random.

Mr. Flea.

In five minutes, we'll be surrounded by SWAT teams.

I understand.

Whatever happens to you will happen to us.

A warrior does not think of victory

or defeat, life or death.

He plunges recklessly to an irrational death.

By doing so, he awakens from the dream.

Aiko!

What'd he say?

It's what he didn't say.

What are we going to do?

We plunge recklessly.

They're going to try and kill us.

They're going to give their lives to us.

She'll come at you like a bird.

Stay centered, take your shot.

I don't know if I can do this.

You don't have to.

Davalos.

I always believed that if a man has been

a true warrior, when he dies, those around him

can feel wind from his body.

Yes.

Who's got Davalos?

We've got him in a van, sir.

OK.

Who's watching him? - Nobody.

We've got him cuffed.

Good.

Cuffed?

Davos, you son of a bitch.
