"We didn't hurt nobody." "We were just getting by the way we knew how." "And I always had my boys around me." "You see, the one thing I learned growing up, you better know who's got your back when the shit hits the fan." "My right-hand man is my best friend, Billy Hannity."

" She's good." " Yeah?" "Say hello for me." "The Feds were closing in, so Big Jim disappears." "But he did leave them a parting gift." " MAN:" "I'll be right back." "Okay?" " Okay."

"We've been waiting an hour, that's what's up." "Better than two." "How's it hanging, Chris?" "I'm always good, Gerry." "Good to hear that." "So, the Big Man just took off, huh?" "Thin air." "You guys haven't talked to him?" "Look, we don't need to talk to him." "We just need to tell you how it's gonna go." " Say again?" " We want a smooth transition." "Smooth transition of what?" "What do you think?" "We're running things now." "(SCOFFS)" "Must not have got the memo, huh, Ronnie?" "Gerry, what about that thing in Somerville?" " It's fine." "What about it?" " With the Big Man gone, the piece that goes to him, you give to us." "We hold it for him." "I got a better idea." "Any pieces I got going to the Big Man, I'll give to him myself." "This isn't a negotiation." "No, it isn't." "You two have been number two for how long?" "What the hell does that mean now?" "It means orderly transfer." "So you report to us now." "And we're moving Chris up to the number two spot." "He's gonna do for us what we did for the Big Man." "Big day for you, huh, Chris?" "Just wanna make sure everything works out." "One big happy family." "Or we skip the coronation." "I got my own business with the Big Man, and you got yours." "Good fences make good neighbors." "Gerry, you want the guineas in Providence, these spear chuckers from Roxbury?" "Let alone the goddamn spics we've been dealing with." "You want all of them chipping away at us?" "GERRY:" "I ain't worried about it." "You guys, on the other hand, I can see why you'd be concerned." "Don't mess with us, Gerry." "Yeah, yeah, I know." "All for one, one for all."

"Mom sent him in to see what was taking the guy so long." "What have you got for us, Detective?" "DETECTIVE:" "Security cameras around the bathroom." "Of course, the state legislature has cut the highway funds to maintain them, so they're all broken." "Except one." "Tell me that's not your guy." "Less than 24 hours, we've got over 50 leads."

"They go off into the jungle to die alone." "Stop it." "Tommie and Frankie will be here." "I told you, they need the money." " Yeah, what about Lep?" " He's coming with them." "Anyway, so when the old lions go, the young lions start taking each other out, you know?" "See who's gonna be the boss." "That is the law of the jungle." "No, law of the jungle is, "Monkeys don't screw with elephants."" " Hey, Cheryl." " Hey." "Just need this for my friend." "Now that the big boss is gone, the town is wide open."

"It's not gonna be just sitting around in some cabinet." "You said it was in the basement." "I know, dickhead, but I didn't say where in the basement." "My cousin worked with a guy whose brother was on the job." "The guy went into the bank with him." "He helped rob the goddamn money!" "And he told my cousin where they stashed it." "It's in the walls." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Is that them?" "No." "That's cute." "I like picking locks, not cutting holes in brick walls." "You said they got some kind of motion detector in there."

"I mean, come on, that's not news." "It's also not the point." "I can't spend the rest of my life not asking you what you did every night just so I don't become an accomplice after the fact." "Yeah, this place is a dump." "And I'm sick of it." "But I don't wanna move from a dumpy apartment on West Broadway to a dumpy apartment with a slightly larger kitchen in Andrew Square." "Every day I'm here it's like I'm stepping in quicksand." "Look, I'm a high school graduate." "One year of college." "Community college." "No special skills." "But I know I can do better."

"There any coffee?" "On the stove." "Did you hear about Jim O'Connor's house burning down?" "Yeah, yeah." "A little bird whispered in my ear." "How'd it happen?" "Television says mysterious circumstances, but I'm betting it was the cops." "They'd do anything to get even." "I don't think it was the cops, Ma." "Well, don't give me a hard time." "I got two tests today." "It's just paralegal school." "Do I belittle your aspirations?" "(CAR HORN HONKING)" "What are the two Dannys doing here?" " You're up to no good." "I know it."

"You know anything about that?" "No, don't know nothing." "Big Man's gone two days and his house burns down, you blow a real sweet score we had all set up." "Doesn't sound very good, does it?" "McGRATH:" "Everybody's got to operate like the Big Man's still here." "Like nothing's changed." "You get that, right?" "Hey, I'm not holding back on you." "I just couldn't get in." "That's not like you." "You always figure a way." "You get in wherever you want, right?" "Well, two of my guys didn't show." "Really?" "Who?" "Frankie and Tommie." "Who else?"

"You don't believe all that crap about the Big Man's money being stashed there, do you?" "We didn't mean nothing by it." "No disrespect." "We just wanted the money, that's all."

"Look, I'm on my break, it's pissing rain, and I got some shopping to do." "So, what do you really want?" "(SIGHS)" "Look, if anyone asks, we were at the bar last night." "I came back with you to your place and I stayed there all night." "Okay?" "I don't know what's more pathetic, the fact that I'm willing to lie for you, or that you already know I will." "Look, Cheryl, if you don't feel comfortable doing it..." "Oh, please." "You always get your way." "You know it." "At least be honest about that." "What are you talking about?" "You say if I don't feel comfortable I shouldn't do it." "But you'll keep me on the phone till I get comfortable, right?" "Isn't this how it works?" "Look, I gotta go." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "What?" " I'm getting ready to beat some ass here!" " BILLY:" "Have you heard the news?" "Somebody burned the Big Man's house down." "The cops are saying it's arson." "(CHUCKLES) Who the hell would be stupid enough to do that?" "Billy, listen." "Grab Lep, get to the place by the pier." "Why?" "I just put a Hot Pocket in." "Now." "Now!" " BILLY:" "I can't believe they're dead." " I know." "It's crazy." "We gotta do something." "Where do you get off?" "You shot Tommie six months ago." " I shot at him, but I didn't shoot him." " Yeah, 'cause he ducked." "Yeah, well, I was pissed!" "That's not the point." "The point is, these were our guys, and we gotta go after somebody." "Well, that's the thing." "Who did it?" "Who killed them?" "They owe money to someone?" "I know Tommie had that deal with the Jamaicans down in Roxbury." "No, they had no beef." "He moved some stuff for them, what he didn't use for himself." " Are you sure?" " Yeah, we ran into him a week ago, down at Carson Beach." "They had some product coming in, they wanted to move some more stuff." "That was it." "It was cool." "What?" "Couple of weeks ago, I was drinking with Tommie, he was going off at the mouth about the Big Man, the Somerset Bank job from five years ago," " the $11 million." " BILLY:" "I thought it was 12 million." "Yeah, whatever." "You know, he said the Big Man was sitting on it, trying to wait for the statute of limitations to get up." "Said he had inside information." "Said it was close to home." "BILLY:" "What the hell does that mean, "close to home"?" "You-know-who's house burns down." "Tommie and Frankie don't show up for the warehouse job." "The next day, they both get killed." "Yeah, except nobody knows they didn't show up but us." "Okay." "Nobody knows shit." "But the two of you, watch your backs." "If Tommie and Frankie got blamed for the fire, then we could be on someone's list, too." "You want to tell me about Tommie and Frankie?" "And don't lie to me." "I wouldn't lie to you." "Well, I can't be sure of any of this, but I think Tommie and Frankie burned the Big Man's house down." "Figure they were looking for the Big Man's hidden treasure." "I think the Dannys killed them." "I think maybe I accidentally fingered them." "I'm just putting two and two together, but the Dannys heard from me that" "Tommie and Frankie didn't show up for a job I was pulling last night." "Now, I know you weren't too close to Tommie." "He's my nephew." "I still got to tell my sister." "The bottom line, I grew up with those guys." "If you ask me if they were stupid enough to break into the Big Man's house, the answer's pretty friggin' obvious." "The two Dannys think you were in on it?" "I don't know, but I gotta make some moves." "I just don't want to step on your toes, you know?" "I figured I owed you that much." "You're a good kid, Madso." "Tommie should've been more like you." "We're all on a path, Ger." "He was my nephew." "I knew he was a screw-up." "But you looked after him, you tried to keep him useful." "He was in your crew." "So, therefore, he was your responsibility." "If you don't live by a code, where are we?" "We're in caveman times." "I get it." "I owe you." "Yeah, you're damn right you owe me." "Now, in terms of the two Dannys, that's my business." "I'll take care of it." "Friends are friends, but family's gotta come first."

"Is this a bad time?" "Hey, you know the position Tommie and Frankie put us in?" "What's right is right, Gerry." "Of all the people in the world, you should understand." "I'm listening." "Gerry, they went in to steal from him." "They burned his house down!" "With the Big Man out of the picture, we gotta maintain order." "You're right." "You had no choice." "They stepped way over the line." "But you should've come to me first." "Come on, Ger." "You didn't even like the kid." "He was a piece of shit junkie, you can't stand his mother..." "You mean my sister?" "Gerry, we know you your whole goddamn life." "You wrote her off!" "And her dirtbag kid." "We knew you wouldn't give a shit." "You presume to tell me about my family?" "Why am I..." "You think you're king of the hill, Gerry?" " We did what was necessary!" " I'll be the judge of what's necessary." "You wanna start a goddamn war or what?" "We're sorry for your loss." "Put some clothes on." "You're making me nauseous." "ANDREWS:" "Tommie Walker, as of yesterday." "He's looked better."

"Of course, this isn't a clean, top-down organization, but O'Connor has kept these crews in line for 30 years." "Because the Attorney General has just indicted Chris Driscoll." "Chris Driscoll runs a cocaine distribution network for O'Connor." "He also happens to be Danny Driscoll's first cousin." "If we get him to turn informant, then we burn his cousin, then maybe Danny One right along with him." "MAN ON TV:" "Well, what if Doug McKay was just playing first base now?" "Would this have been turned into a double play?" "Maybe." " State police!" "You should lock your door." " What's up?" "No shit." "I already know about the indictment, sucker." "Okay?" " My lawyer got a call." " Great." "That's what we want to talk to you about." "About the information you have." " Yeah?" " About the information you can provide." "CHRIS:" "Yeah?" "Is that right?" "Listen," "I'm supposed to surrender with my lawyer tomorrow." "Okay?" " But that's tomorrow, you know?" " Yeah." "Let's talk about today."

"All the info we've been feeding O'Connor over the years about rival dealers?" "This guy knows everything." "Did you want him informing on us?" "That's not the point!" "Why didn't you tell me you were gonna do this?" "Because you're a pussy, Skip." "Come on, let's go get a beer." "CHERYL:" "Don't worry?" "That's what you're saying?" "I can't believe it." "That's what you jerked me down here for?" "I've got a job, you know?" "It's all over the news, Maddy." "Two of your guys were shot dead last night." "Look, what do you want me to say?" "I don't know what's going on!" "What does that mean?" "You don't know why they were killed, or you don't know what's going on for you?" "Are you tied into this thing?" "I thought this was over between us." "I thought you wanted some yuppie banker asshole to buy you a house in Beverly." "I do." "And don't be a jerk." "You think I don't care about you?" "Maybe you're right." "Maybe you should move on." "Get rid of me." "It's only gonna get worse." "(INVESTIGATORS CHATTERING)" "MAN:" "Right there." "Another angle." "GRAYSTON:" "Detective Herlihy." "How you doing?" "How are you doing?" "Listen, Driscoll's indictment was coming down, so the pencil dicks we work for at the field office are going ballistic." "We need anything you got on this." "Right now, we're leaning towards a homicide." "(LAUGHING) You think so?" "Haven't we been here before, Detective?" "I mean, you get sarcastic." "We get condescending." "It doesn't have to be this way." "We're not trying to bigfoot you here." "Just want to be kept in the loop." "Okay." "We got three homicides so far this week." "We're hitting the informants up hard, and word on the street is this may be Gerry Walker." "Two Dannys killed his nephew." "Now Danny Driscoll's cousin Chris, right here, gets hit." "A plus B."

"Would have been worse if I lied." "He got us figured." "Okay, I'm glad." "I'd rather be with you." "It's just..." "He gets mad." "I mean, these guys kill people." "Don't be stupid, Colleen." "We had our time together." "Okay?" "It's over." "Yeah." "It was nothing but exercise anyway." "Hey, Madso!" "Take a last look." "You won't be getting this anymore!" "MADSO:" "But that was then." "And this, as they say, is now." "(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)" "Hey." "Hi." "So, you never answered my question." "What question?" "What happened to Frankie and Tommie?" "If you hear anything, you'll tell me, right?" "You and me gonna be seeing each other, or is this a one-night kinda thing?" "I don't know." "Figured it was a one-nighter and then go from there." "We'll take it one step at a time." "You just use people, you know that?" "I'm crazy about you, but you just hurt me and hurt me." "You're all promise, but it never gets anywhere." "All right, I won't bother you again, Colleen." "Oh, good." "Don't." "You guys, you're all alike." "You all want the same thing." "Maybe I ought to get paid for it." "(PHONE RINGING)" " Hello?" " BILLY:" "Madso!" "You hear what's going on?" "Somebody clipped Chris Driscoll!" "Blew the whole freakin' back of his head off." "It was on the news a while ago." "Chris Driscoll was a shitbag," " and that's all he was." " Yeah." "It must have been Gerry Walker getting his revenge, teaching the two Dannys a lesson." "Absolutely, man, absolutely." "Yeah, but they're gonna be coming after him and probably me and you next." "So you should watch your back, okay?" "Yeah, I got my back." "You got yours?" "Okay, but I'm telling you, we are way the shit over our heads with this one." "Yeah, I know." "So just lay low tonight." "I'll see you later." "(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)" "(PHONE RINGING)" "(GRUNTING) Yeah?" "How is it going, cousin?" "I understand." "Coming straight away." "You have my word." "Excuse me, where in the hell are you going?" "America." "Why would you be going to America?" "Family." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "CHERYL:" "Yeah." "It's Cheryl, right?" "Look, I want to ask you a couple of questions about the night of the 23rd." "Okay." "Can you tell me where you were that night?" " Yeah, I can." " Why don't you, then?" "Well, I guess I can think of a couple of reasons why." " This about Madso Madden?" " What makes you say that?" "'Cause I was with him that night." "I just figured." "Yeah, well, look, Cheryl, I could take you down to the station." "We could talk about it down there if you'd like." "But you'd have to arrest me, right?" "I mean, if I didn't feel like going down there voluntarily." "Then I'd have to get a lawyer, and the first thing lawyers tell you is don't say anything to the cops." "Seems like a big waste of time." "For both of us." "(LAUGHS) You know what I can't figure?" "Someone like you, beautiful girl, got a lot going for her." "Why do you want to mess up your life hanging around a joker like Madso Madden?" "I'd get out, Cheryl." "While you can." "Why don't you get a plate?" "Sit." "Nah, it's okay." "I'm not very hungry." "Why are you eating?" "You know, Maddy, I was thinking." "Maybe it's time you moved." "Got your own place." "I mean, you're way old enough." "And I appreciate your help with the rent, you know that, but maybe it's time you lived your own life." "What's up, Ma?" "I just think it's time you lived your own life." "Yeah, you just said that." "I can't do it." "I can't pretend." "I know what's going on around here." "Nothing's gonna happen, Ma." "That's the exact same thing your father said." "And we know how that turned out, don't we?" "The bullshit goes on for years." "You are gonna get yourself into a spot you can't get out of." "I'm already in that spot, Ma." "But I'm gonna make it out okay." "I promise." "What about you, cousin?" "How's it going?" "Long time." "What's the lay of the land?" "Well, it's not a pretty story." "No kidding." "People don't usually call me when they win the lottery." "You and your boys are in trouble, correct?" " Do you deserve it?" " No." "All right." "Let's see what we can do to get you out of it." "I expect you're working on a plan." "Every Irishman has a plan." "Hmm." "Um, is that girl Shannon still around?" "No." "She moved years ago." "Then I should be leaving." "That's the main reason I came." "Maybe it's best if we get me a gun." "I'm one step ahead of you." "(GUN COCKING)" "(GUNSHOT)" "BILLY:" "Damn!" "Kieran Graner." "I've heard stories about you, man." "You are the real-deal son of a bitch!" " Billy." " (GUN COCKING)" "No, no." "I know, I know, I know, it's just he was there during the Troubles, you know." "Bloody Sunday, all that shit." "Man!" "What's your man's problem?" "Billy, relax, okay?" "BILLY:" "Okay, no." "Sure, sure, sure." "But you know, he was in the Maze, man." "He did time in the Maze." "He saw Bobby Sands starve himself to death." "And then Madso tells me when you got out, that you went to Libya, you got trained..." "Yeah, and they taught me the only thing I'm good at." "And besides a good screw, the only thing I enjoy." "You know who you're dealing with now, Billy boy." "You just do exactly as I say." "Absolutely." "(LAUGHING) Absolutely." "Absolutely." "Man, they can't mess with us!" "We got ourselves a circle of green." "KIERAN:" "Been meaning to send this to you since my mother passed on." "There's Ma, year before I was born." "There's you, Aunt Mary." "Oh, my goodness." "Oh, thank you, dear." "Now, you take your gear upstairs and I'll get you beer and a bite." "Maddy." "Yeah, what's up, Ma?" ""What's up, Ma?"" " He's handy." " That's what worries me." "Now, I love that boy." "You know I love him like my own." "I know." "I know." "But he's a little psycho, Maddy." "But he's our psycho." "(CAR HORN HONKING)" "The two Dannys want to see you." "Tell them no, thanks." "What do you mean, "no, thanks"?" "I'm taking you there." "Two Dannys want to talk about keeping your buddy Lep alive." "I'll get my coat." "The plan I was working on just went to shit." "Plans are cheap." "We'll make another." "You know the first rule when a hostage is taken?" "You have to assume the hostage is dead." "Don't you hurt my child." "You hear me?" "Don't worry, Aunt Mary." "If they wanted to hurt cousin Mike, they wouldn't come to the door." "They need something." "A lot of people think the two Dannys got Tommie and Frankie killed." "Who gives a shit what people say?" "If that's the way it came down, then maybe you pulled the trigger." "Blow me!" "(GRUNTING)" "(TIRES SCREECHING)" "You prick!" "You're damn right I'm a prick!" "CHUCKIE:" "They had it coming!" "Those stupid idiots." "They had it coming?" "What do you want to do, crash?" "(GRUNTING CONTINUES)" "They were my friends, you bastard!" "Yeah!" "And I'm gonna do you like you did Lep, you bag of shit." "Now, drive me to the Dannys." "And don't even think this is over between you and me." "DRISCOLL:" "Ah, here he comes." "Hey, Madso, we salvaged a little job from your boy's fire." "Shove it." "Where's Lep?" "This is the job." "We even cleaned it up so you won't dirty your hands, Madso." "You open the safe," "(MUFFLED SPEECH) you get your buddy back." "You scum!" "Your friend stirred up a hornets' nest, burning down the Big Man's house." " He didn't have anything to do with this." " Let me explain something to you." "We don't give a shit, okay?" "You'll open the safe or we're gonna make sauce out of the kid and feed him to the goddamn homeless!" "The mayor will give us a commendation." "Let's keep it simple." "Open the safe, Madso." "MADSO:" "It's the Big Man's, right?" "His money in there?" "The $11 million?" "What's my cut?" "Your cut is, we don't razor your balls off, send them to your mom in a gift box." "Open the safe, Madso!" "(GROANING)" "Or say goodbye to the midget." "Look, I don't have my tools." "I don't know the safe." "I don't know if I can pick it, or if I should drill into it." "Does it have cobalt plates around the cam housing?" "That means I should drill into the back." "Does it have a glass relocker?" "Then we're screwed." "Or should I just blow the doors with liquid nitro?" "Huh?" "We're not baking brownies here." "Fine." "You got four hours." "I need a full day." "I'll call you when I'm ready." "And I'm telling you, don't hurt Lep." "You touch him again and the deal's off." "No guarantees." "We might get bored." "Any sign of a private army?" "Three guys from the lower end." "I seen them around but I don't know them." "Plus Chuckie." "There's only one choice." "We go in there, kill them all." "Hope your good friend Lep makes it." "You don't figure there's any percentage in trying it their way?" "A minute after you open the safe, you're a dead man." "They'll blow your head off, kill Lep, bury the bodies." "What about the safe?" "Assuming you're alive, I'd open it, keep the money." "All $12 million." "Your mother could use a new car, some new clothes, maybe a new house." "Throw in a trip to the old country." "Okay." "So, what do we got to lose?" "Just our lives." "Truth is, neither one of us is worth much." "Okay, so, we start with Gerry Walker." "He's a player." "Now, since Chris Driscoll got killed, the two Dannys have got to be on his case." "Which means he's on theirs." "Two armed camps." "It's a death game." "Winner gets to live." "Gerry's expecting us." "Yeah, I know." "We're still checking." "Hey!" "Give him his goddamn gun back!" "Now!" "How far do you wanna push it?" "Don't be stupid, get yourself killed." "You know Gerry's waiting for us." "Gerry." "You know my cousin Kieran from the old country." "Yeah." "They're still trying to clean the blood off the barroom floor there over in Dorchester from his last visit." "He killed two guys with his bare hands." "I don't know if you heard." "The two Dannys think I killed Chris Driscoll." "Which I didn't." "Not that I wouldn't mind." "That's what I came to talk to you about." "They grabbed my buddy Lep, beat the shit out of him." "They're holding him hostage." "Get this, they want me to open one of the Big Man's safes or they're gonna kill him." "What's inside the safe?" "You think it's the Somerset job?" "Could be the $12 million." "Eleven and change." "Look, the bottom line, I open that safe, I figure I'm not coming home." "So, how do I fit into this?" "I figure you're not gonna sit around waiting for them to use you and Ronnie for target practice." "Seems like we got some common interests here." "You know how I feel about money." "Oh, yeah." "You like it." "(CHUCKLING) That's for sure." "We got to figure out how they'll chop this thing up." "Wait." "You're just gonna let him make the plan?" "Yeah." "I'm going to work it out." "Show some respect here." "Whatever you say, cousin." "How many guys has he got on his side?" "Five, that I could see." "At least." "So they're paranoid, scared and ready." "Obviously." "I don't need some second-rate hoodlum that makes brown bag collections to agree with anything I say." "Hey, why don't you relax?" "So, you got five guys." "Chuckie and two Dannys." "Figure we'll need the five of us, I'll grab a couple of guys outside." "We need at least seven." "KIERAN:" "What is this?" "Some class in simple arithmetic?" "We have surprise on our side." "You go in there with too many soldiers and obviously you lose that element of surprise." "Well, I think the idea is we go in quiet." "With those monkeys out there?" "Quiet?" "Hey!" "I'll be the judge of manpower around here, all right?" "I don't feel much like getting shot, but if I do, there ought to be a reason." "Human stupidity doesn't count." "Hey, hey!" "Where you going?" "Back to Ireland." "Where you're not bumping up against some amateur gunman every minute of the day." "Jesus Christ." "I thought he was with us." "What a pussy." "I'm sorry, I had no idea he was gonna go off like that." "Let him go." "Let him go." "He's a nut." "He's a loose cannon and he always has been." "Madso, I'll tell you right now." "The person I'm concerned about is you." "This isn't robbing some warehouse." "You got to put a gun in a guy's face, look him in the eye and pull the trigger." "You capable of that?" " Let's do this, huh?" " Hey, listen." "It was me who told the two Dannys that" "Tommie and Frankie didn't show up for the warehouse job." "I had no idea it was gonna get them killed, you know." "I just..." "Those two buttheads got themselves killed." "Okay?" "I'm surprised it didn't happen a lot sooner." " Well, stuff's going down tonight." " Well..." " I just wanted to be straight with you." " Don't worry about it." "We're doing this for our boys." "Now, let's go get Lep." "Where are the rest of your guys?" "I figured his cousin was right." "We don't need them." "Well, isn't that a wicked pisser." "GERRY:" "Nice touch, Madso." "You know what the hell you're doing?" "You'd better hope so." "I punch in the wrong code, the timer sets off a warning system." "What's the code?" "Two-three-six-nine, the numbers worn down on the keypad." "Now, each number has a letter equivalent." "Now, people program these things, usually personalize them, spell out a word." "What do we know about the two Dannys?" "Motherless pricks." "Besides that." "They're in love with themselves." " Right." "Three-two-six-six-nine." " (TIMER BEEPING)" ""Danny." If I'm wrong, we're dead." "(LAUGHS)" "(INAUDIBLE)" "(CHATTERING)" "(TOILET FLUSHING)" "(GUNS COCKING)" "Gerry, I'll kill you!" "McGRATH:" "Let's get out of here." "He's dead." "I don't give a rat's ass about him." "We're here for the money." "Now, where's the safe?" "You all right, Ronnie?" "(BREATHING HEAVILY) Yeah." "(MUFFLED GRUNTING)" "(GRUNTING CONTINUES)" " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "Thanks for coming to get me." "(STRAINING)" "God!" "Come on." "Hey, ladies." "Let's go." "Open that safe?" "I said open the safe." "Now!" "I didn't figure you for a..." "Double-crossing prick?" "Just business." "Throw your gun down and open that safe." "Good evening, gentlemen." "(GROANING)" "(GUNSHOTS)" "I figured it was time." "(SIGHS)" "Get down!" "(PANTING)" "Still alive, you crazy bastard?" "Takes more than this to kill a Derry man." "(CLICKING)" "(CLICKS)" "The man is genius." "How's it look, Madso?" "Is it loaded?" "Huh?" "You rich?" "The joke's on us, Gerry." "You gotta be shitting me." "Not a penny." "(CHUCKLING)" "(GROANS)" "Maybe I should kill him." "MADSO:" "Just because he double-crossed us?" "We knew he would." "Using your cousin as insurance." "You're a smart prick, Madso." "I knew I couldn't trust you." "Nothing personal." "I always liked you." "Just too much money in play." "Yeah, well, Billy's dead." "That's what matters." "I grew up with him." "Yeah, and Ronnie was like my kid brother." "So, what now?" "I'm taking off." "No fingerprints." "What, you're not going to kill me?" "I figure you got a taste for it by now." "I'm gonna leave you to explain all this to the cops." "Regardless." "I'm still no rat." "Yeah, but remember this, Gerry, now we're even." "(GRUNTS)" "Thanks for coming for me, Billy." "Don't blame yourself for Billy." "It's not the player, it's the game." "I'll be going." "I'll get you to a hospital." "Nah." "There's doctors in this city that take care of us boys from Ireland." "Up the Irish." "See you around." "(SIGHING)" "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "I'm shot." "I need help." "I can't go to the hospital, I'll get busted." "Well, you gonna help me or what?" "I won't blame you if you don't want to." "MADSO:" "Just one small thing for my circle of green." "(BELL TOLLING)" "MADSO:" "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned." "It's been a long time since my last confession." "What are your sins, my son?" "Aw, you already know, Father." "Don't you?" "I lied, I cheated, I stole." "Just like you." "You told the Dannys where to find Lep." "Now Billy's dead." "Goodbye, Father." "(GUNSHOT)" "No, law of the jungle is, "Monkeys don't screw with elephants."" "You got a way of making everything around you exciting." "But in the end, I gotta face the fact that you're just a bad bet." "He was in your crew." "So, therefore, he was your responsibility." "If you don't live by a code, where are we?" "You open the safe, you get your buddy back." "It's about order." "Remember that." "Bogie One." "Bogie One." "We've got company." "Two armed camps." "It's a death game." "Winner gets to live." "Give me your name." "I'm glad we're friends again, Maddy." "I didn't wanna leave it the way it was last time." "We'll keep the money we made in little tin cans." "He's gone." "And he ain't coming back, from what I hear." "Now, what if he has a plan to get his cash out of there?" "It's Cheryl, right?" "Because you're a pussy, Skip." "Come on, let's go get a beer." "We got ourselves a circle of green." "Let's see the arm."
