"Sometimes when I think about her I wish we'd never met them." "Other than that I'm very happy they came into my life." "It really changed my life." "You don't run into people like that every day." "They were hit men." "All four of them." "What's a hit men?" "They are these grown ups that these really bad people hire to go around and shoot these other bad people." "And nobody must know their real names." "You're gonna be working with three other men." "You all gonna get the same kind'a information about the same thing." "And it'll be very wise for you not to share your identities with anyone." "In this envelope is a list of names and photos of the individuals." "They are in drug trafficking business." "They are drug traffickers and they need to be eradicated." "After they're dead I want you to take photos, some proof, show them to me along with anything else you discover, their associates, their contacts, things of that nature and you will be further compensated." "May I ask why you want them dead?" "Is it the competition or you just don't approve of their line of work?" "Well, you can call it anything you want." "But I say it's the quickest, easiest, most efficient way of getting rid of 'em." "Why don't you just take them to small claims court?" "Oh, they probably can afford the best of lawyers." "Got a sense of humor, I like that." "Listen, here's your money." "If you tell anybody who hired you, you ain't gonna get a chance to spend a penny 'a that." "You understand?" "The bad people that they were supposed to shoot lived in LA, so they all came to LA." "They stayed in this place." "There was not much furniture, no pictures on the walls and no curtains" "It was worse than the last foster house we stayed in." "And that's where they all met the very first time." "Ho, ho, ho, ho." "This is gonna be fun." "Nice to meet you, too." "What's wrong with the featherhead there?" "Praying for rain?" "No." "He is just desperately concentrating to make your ass disappear." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "Well, didn't we make 'em disappear, hah?" "Nicely placing them on the list of endangered species?" "Before we proceed, since we need to remain anonymous," "I propose that we name each other." "Oh, that's clever." "Why don't you start, foreign man?" "That's it, you may call me Foreigner." "Sounds good." "You can call me Indian." "What about me?" "I thought that was obvious." "Don't fuck with me, punk." "How 'bout Blacky?" "Whatever." "And you..." "you are definitely Whitey." "I don't give a fuck." "All right, let's get down to business." "And that's pretty much how it all began." "At least that's what I was told..." "and it lasted for nine days." "Hey, Blacky, how much do you know about this job?" "Not much." "What about you?" "I don't know much either." "That's what bothers me." "Well how did they recruit you?" "Through the Internet." "The Internet?" "I have a home page." "You?" "Just the old-fashioned way." "They called me up..." " Shit they seemed to know everything about me." "Then again, I am notorious for some of the shit I'd been doin'" "I just want to make sure that I'll get all the money I was promised." "See that crossed my mind, too." "But the prepayment was so good I had to accept their terms." "Yeah, but that wasn't good enough for me." "So I took down their license plate number the day they hired me." "I have a friend in New York who can trace anything, just as insurance." "This is not good." "No it ain't." "Those goons, particularly that one fellow, are not your everyday average goon." "They are smarter." "Well we did try to pick the best and the brightest." "A bright goon is not exactly what I consider ideal." "Point well taken." "But we ought to be safe." "The license plate they took down should be fake." "Let me tell you something." "Back in my army days I was once part of a special op to go deep behind enemy lines, very dangerous mission, quite a lot of training days." "Now, initially the sergeant for our training was using blanks and we ought to have been safe." "The bullets should've been blanks." "But guess what, one time they weren't and my buddy got shot to hell by real live bullets." "Blood gushing out, it was ugly." "So you see, when I hear the words should and ought and safe and fake all in one sentence, frankly it makes me a little uneasy." "I hear you." "Must be tough to see your buddy expire like that right in front of your very eyes." "I want to know every little thing that transpires in that place." "A fly farts, I want it on tape." "And you shall have it." "I'm in L.A., working." "How's the big Apple?" "Aah, just trying to take my bite out of it." "Hey, listen." "I need you to do me a favor." "Sure." "Whatever you need." "Can you track a license plate?" "No problem." "West Virginia plate, number 6RZT258." "Find out whatever you can, ASAP and I'll get back to you." "No problem." "And Colin, be careful." "Yeah." "Good morning." "Not if you're in it." "You're most kind." "Who're you on the phone with, foreign man?" "Checking my stocks." "You know, there ought to be a law against you damn foreigners buying up America." "We didn't build up this nation to put it up for sale." "Is that bitch in Ellis Island holding up a big FOR SALE sign I didn't know about, hah?" "I wonder who that could be." "Maybe it's the INS." "Good morning." "You must be my son's roommate." "Ma!" "Hi, Georgey." "Ma!" "What the hell're you doin' here?" "You haven't seen your mother for over two years and that's how you're welcoming me?" "Don't you even wanna kiss your own mother?" "Would you treat your mother like that if she came for a visit?" "No, ma'am." "Never." "Oh, would you look at this place." "And you've been eating all these unhealthy fast foods." "I think I stay for a couple 'a days and make you some hot meals." "Ma, Ma what the hell are you doing here?" "How did you find this place?" "That's not the way to talk to your own mother." "It's not." "Definitely not." "Aren't you happy to see me, sweetheart?" " Ma." " Oh, look at this mess." "Ma, Ma, how did you find this place?" "Oh, I was on my way to see aunt Bernice up in San Francisco, like I told you on the phone yesterday." "So I thought I stop off in Los Angeles and spend some time with my son." "But if I thought I wasn't welcome in my own son's..." "Ma, from Bakersfield San Francisco is north, okay?" "This is south." "So I took the wrong bus." "Ma, how did you find me here, hah?" "Well, you always call me but you never tell me where you are or where you're calling from." "So, I got this little gadget that displays the phone number of whoever is calling." "And you know Dolores, she works for the telephone company..." "I forget which one." "But anyway, she traced your number to that payphone in the hall..." "That's... that's all right, Ma." "Okay?" "I think I got it, okay?" "Oh, hi." "I'm Georgey's mother." "It's very nice to meet you all." "Listen, she's got to go, ASAP." "Come on, but she is such a sweet old lady." "You know that albino was right." "What?" "You do get attached to old people." "Hey, don't you punks go holding meetings on my mother, you hear me?" "Listen, she can't stay here." "Well, you think I don't know that." "She ain't gonna leave this place until she cleans the whole goddamn place out." "Vacuum, dust, cook, scrub, does the dishes, clean out the toilet bowl..." "Now I know my mother." "Is she going to change our diapers, too?" "Hey, Foreigner, how does it feel to be from a third world country?" "Hey Whitey, how does it feel to be from New Jersey?" "You do amuse me, Whitey." "You are so cerebrally constrained that simply amuses me." "You dare to call me stupid?" "You listen to me you foreign man," "I am an American and America is numero uno." "That's number one in case your dumb foreign ass don't understand." "No stinky ass nation's achieved what we have." "We!" "Tell me, did you discover America?" "Help draft the constitution?" "Build the first railroad?" "Introduce this land to irrigation?" "Help build the empire State Building?" "Create the glamour of Hollywood?" "Make space travel possible?" "..." "What?" "I didn't think so." "The only thing that you have done, quite poorly I might add, is that you were born here." "It's good to see you, amigo." "I have some really good stuff for you." "I have some good stuff for you too, my friend." "But first, let's see what you got for me." "Juan." "Raul." "(IN SPANISH)" "There you go." "Shit." "I see the fucking dope but where the hell is the goddamn fucking money?" "It's good." "I told you it's good stuff." "The rest is in the truck." "Ten boxes." "Now let's see what you have for me." "Amir." "Five mill." "That's good." "But what about the rest?" "You know, what about what we talked about?" "On three." "One..." "Right, right." "Amir." "Two..." "Wait wait wait." "Hold your horses, foreign man." "They're bringing more shit to the table." "What the hell is this?" "Fresh as spring flowers, hah?" "Sweet as honey." "And I can personally vouch for that." "Your Japanese friends are gonna love them." "Fucking foreign pedophile bustards." "As soon as the girls are clear, take 'em." "Take 'em all." "Hi." "How are you?" "(IN SPANISH)" "I'll take care of you." "I promise." "They're both very pretty." "Yeah, you're pretty." "You're pretty." "But this one here, she is too young." "She'll grow up." "They all do." "I guarantee you that..." "Did you hear that?" "I guarantee you that." "We have a couple of jokers here, hah?" "Go." "Get the money and let's get the fuck out 'a here." "(IN SPANISH)" "This is a cheap joint." "Hey, don't let their lifestyle fool you, my brother." "This is it." "All right." "How do we go in?" "Just knock." "Just knock?" "Just knock." "Pizza." "Oh, that's very original." "They ain't no fools." "They know they didn't order no pizza." "Pizza, Boss." "You piece 'a garbage." "See what you've done to me." "You stupid idiot, did anybody in this room order a pizza?" "I'm sorry, Boss." "I forgot." "You know, I was hungry... (IN SPANISH)" "Quiet, please." "I've got a couple 'a names here." "Customers?" "I believe I asked you a question." "We know nothin', and we say nothin'" "This ain't a police station." "We ain't just gonna beat you up to get no answers." "We'll shoot your ass." "No, no." "First off, we'll shoot the man who's to blame." " Me?" " Yeah." "No, no, please don't shoot me." "Don't shoot me." "I tell you everything." "I tell you everything." "Then you better start talking." "Start talking mother fucker." "Okay." "They are our main distributors." "Jose Garcia in Panama, Ricardo Sanchez in Columbia," "Antonio Hernandez in Panama..." "Shut up." "Richard Antonio in Peru." "My grandmother works for us part time in Miami..." "Shut up." "Shut up." "You already put me in my grave ten feet under." "Please don't shoot me." "Come on get up." "Sit your ass down." "You answer that door and don't do anything stupid." "Hello." "Good evenin' How are you?" "Hello." "Hello." "How are you?" "Oh, so sorry." "Bad time?" "Yeah." "Yes bad time right now." "But never bad time for Lord Savior, Jesus Christ." "If you want to go heaven you must let Lord Savior Jesus Christ into your heart." "Listen, I got no time for this shit right now." "So why don't you take your little Chinese gang and leave." "No, no, stay." "Tell us all you can about the Lord." "Take no too long." "I like introduce you to New Testament." "Father, please, I want to be saved." "Please, I want to be saved." "Please, father, please." "(IN SPANISH)" "Yes, we want to see the Lord." "Don't worry about them." "They're gonna see the Lord soon enough." "So, why don't you take your messiah groupies and get the hell out 'a here right now." "No, no, stay." "We need your savior." "(IN SPANISH)" "You Korean people listen up and listen good." "Now, my Indian friend here, his people were forcefully converted by thousands, and when they refused they were murdered by thousands." "And for blacks, shit, don't ever let me get started." "So, between the Indians and the blacks, we've had enough of the white man's dominance, be it through religion, politics, or whatever." "But our religion good for Indians and black people, too." "Your religion good for Indians and black people, too?" "Are you somebody's fool?" "Jesus Christ was no Chinese, man." "He was no blonded blue-eyed white boy either." "He was a black man." "Why don't you look that up?" "Well, actually, you know Christ was from the Middle-East." "You know, I read somewhere that he was really a Latino." "Oh, it no matter." "He is Lord." "But he no black." "Oh, no." "Fuck." "That does it." "I can't take it." "Black, okay." "He black." "Have a nice day." "Have a nice day." "Well, you're going to finish him off or what?" "No." "I don't shoot a man when he is down." "Head, you shoot 'm in the head;" "tail, I shoot 'm in the ass." "Oh, man." "What a lovely picture." "Fucking son of a bitch." "Fucking, you get out 'a here." "You take the dope with you." "You take the money." "And what you leave us with, hah?" "Two useless little fucking girls." "I know what they've gone through." "They're sedated, scared." "How the fuck would you know, hah?" "Were you somebody's bitch when you were a little kid?" "I had a baby sister." "She was kidnapped..." "Hey, save it." "I ain't interested in your baby sister." "We'll take 'em home with us tonight..." "Are you out of your fuckin' foreign mind?" "What, you think we're running a goddamn foster home here?" "We're gonna take 'em to the city and we're gonna let 'em loose." "That's all." "Your mother can watch them for one night, just one night." "You see, that's what sniffing' too much of that cocaine does to your brain." "You think you're Mother fuckin' Teresa." "Sweethearts, just take one little sip." "It'll make you feel better." "Oh, they look awful." "Just take one sip, tell us your names and how we can get in touch with your parents." "Poor girls." "I feel terrible." "It was good of you to bring 'em here." "I can take care of 'em for a few days until they feel better." "What the hell are you talkin' about, Ma?" "C'mon kids." "Talk to us." " All right, you got a pen handy?" "Sure, go ahead." "It's a West Virginia plate, number 6RZT258." "Find out whatever you can, ASAP." "I'll get back to you." "No problem." "And Colin, be careful." "Yeah." "Sounds like the foreign guy is trying to scoop up some information on us." "I know what it sounds like." "Now how did we get into this mess anyhow?" "Didn't I make it perfectly clear everyone was to use a fake license plate at all times?" "If this thing blows, we're all fucked." "Who is this guy anyhow?" "His name is Colin Zelinsky, he lives in New York City and apparently he is friends with the foreign guy." "And what about the woman with the kids." "They could jeopardize this whole operation." "We're trying to put the pieces together now, sir." "I think we can rectify the situation." "Rectify the situation?" "How do you propose to do that?" "Washington gave us the green light to take extreme measures against drug problems in this nation." "God knows we've been taking those measures but maybe we can take 'em a bit farther." "Like how?" "We clean the cleaners." "Listen." "They kill the drug traffickers, and then we kill them." "Simple really." "None of this leaves this room." "They haven't said a word, and they haven't eaten anything." "C'mon, sweethearts." "We're just trying to help you." "Becky." "Hello, Becky." "And what is your name?" "Katie." "Her name is Katie." "She is my sister." "I knew they were sisters." "They look so much alike." "We're going to help you get back to your parents." "All right?" "No, we can't go home." "Did you run away from home?" "Did your mom and dad hurt you?" "We just can't go home." "Of course you can." "What the fuck is goin' on here now, hah?" "What the hell kind 'a soap opera is this anyway, hah?" "All my fuckin' children?" "Oh, stop it, Georgey." "You should be ashamed of yourself, talkin' like that in front of the children." "Hey, I need to talk to you." "Shh, it's all right." "Listen to me, you fuckin' moron." "You're going to ruin this whole fuckin' operation." "Keep your voice down." "The last thing we need is your mother in on this." "Listen." "They're gonna be out 'a here today." "Right?" "Right?" "They better be." "Man, I can't believe you brought those two kids here." "They had no place to go." "You know, that Albino was right." "This is crazy." "Man, I need to take a shower." "Give me back my sandwich." "You two quit it back there." "Dad, he took my tuna salad." "Jonathan, give the sandwich back to your sister." "Something's goin' down." "Maybe I ought to blow him up right now." "No, wait until we're in the canyon." "It draws too much attention here." "I can't wait to blow his white ass up." "Based on my observations of you, I would claim that by now it's safe to say you maybe a bit racist." "Man, listen, Foreigner." "What definitely isn't safe for us is for you to observe me like I'm some sort of a lab rat and to label me like that, too." "I'm no racist." "I'm a historian." "I know history." "You kids settle down." "Stay in the car." "Be right back." "Got kids in there?" "Schmuck!" "Good." "Gentlemen." "He is rolling." "Let's go." "Now, you guys have heard of the three musketeers, right?" ""All for one and one for all?"" "Well, you see, that is exactly how the universe is." "This whole universe is one, and one is the whole universe." "You just have to reach out and grab it." "If we're all one, then how come we can't see or hear or feel our mom 'n dad?" "Your mom 'n dad they haven't gone far." "You see, loved ones never go far." "They are always around." "They're with you." "They're inside of you, specially here and specially here." "Hey, pull over right here." "Yeah." "This is the perfect place to blow him up." "Here we go." "Stop." "Dad, can I please sit in the front." "He is driving me crazy." "He is driving me crazy." "Stop." "My God, what have we done?" "I didn't see the kids." "There's a car coming." "We better take off." "C'mon, c'mon." "Let's go, let's go, let's go." "Maybe we should help them." "How?" "Collect their body parts and put 'em back together again." "Let's get the fuck out 'a here." "C'mon, let's go." "You dashed out so fast I thought you went to work." "No, we just had some errands to run." "Oh, I hope you boys like the new china and coffee maker I bought." "If Georgey lets me stay a while" "I could really make this place look like home." "So, where're the happy faces?" "You know, Georgey didn't tell me that you worked with troubled and runaway kids." "That's the way my Georgey was when he was a kid." "Are you a social worker, too?" "No ma'am, only he is." "So, what do you do?" "Well, I'm..." "I'm in between jobs right now." "Oh, that's terrible, so as my Georgey." "You know, I don't understand why the government can't do something about the unemployment." "When I was growing up everybody had a job, specially someone with your qualifications." "Maybe my Georgey should've become a social worker, too." "It's such a noble job, caring for people in need." "Why are you waiting on that nigger and fuckin' foreigner, hah?" "Georgey, I'm very disappointed in you." "We must have a talk." "I didn't bring you up to be racist." "It's all your dad's doing, God bless his soul." "And that awful picture of that evil man..." "What are you doing, Ma?" "I am tearing this thing down." "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, having his picture on your wall." "You're not tearing it down." "All right?" "Are you what I think you are?" "I should've never let you go down south to live with your dad." "This is all his doing." "Had I kept you in Jersey with me, this would never happen." "He is responsible." "He taught me to see things right." "He blinded you, just the way he was." "But he wasn't always like that, not until he went to prison." "He was a good looking man in his younger years." "And he was so popular in prison." "Your poor dad, he was only 27, 28 years old." "And when he got out, he was a changed man." "He hated blacks, Mexicans, homosexuals, Jews you name it." "And of course, his lawyer was Jewish." "Your poor dad, for months after he got out he had a sore..." "These are all lies." "My very own daddy, Oh, shit getting fucked in the ass." "Oh, fuck." "I'm sorry son, I didn't mean to hurt you." "And when he got out he pretended he was pure white and he joined the Ku-Klux-Klan and..." "What do you mean he pretended, hah?" "I'm sorry Georgey, but but your dad was one eighth black and one eighth Indian." "No, no." "Shit, this is all lies." "This is all lies." "It's not true." "Sorry, Georgey." "But it is true." "And there is more." "Now, I never told you before, but my grandfather and grandmother, your great grandparents, may they rest in peace, they were Jews back in Austria before they were forced to convert." "No." "These can't be true." "These are all lies." "I don't wanna go back to the foster home." "We won't." "We're not little girls anymore." "We can live on our own." "Hi." "If you ladies want to talk, I'm here to listen." "We all want to help you get back with your parents." "They must be worried sick, don't you think?" "No, they're not." "We don't have a mom and dad." "I'm sorry." "Who's taking care of you then?" "We used to live in a foster home." "But we ran away." "How did you end up with those men?" "I don't wanna talk about it." "Did they kidnap you?" "I don't wanna talk about them." "We don't wanna talk about them." "Sure." "I'm sorry." "I understand." "Does this help?" "It's just a path in an inward journey." "But you must be prepared to face many demons along the way." "I wonder if there is any path to salvation for someone who's murdered two kids." "Yes, there is." "Take in our two little orphaned ones and raise them as your own." "We've got the place under watch." "We'll make our move after midnight." "Make sure nobody walks out." "Nobody." "No problem." "I understand." "Tails." "Send a couple of guys to New York to meet up with that Colin Zelinski guy." "I understand." "By the way, you guys see to it that you don't fuck up." "I'm gonna have your nuts in a jar right next to my mother-in-law's ashes which I keep in an urn on a mantle." "Yes sir." "You really have your mother-in-law's ashes on your fireplace?" "Yep." "It's much better than having her in my living room live and in person." "I guess." "Makes me feel good every time I look over and see it there." "I should suggest that to my wife." "Yeah, you should." "Make some points with her too." "You are a sly dog." "You have no idea." "Let's make sure whatever information is buried in here won't get out." "Let's burn the place down." "We better hurry up." "We're gonna miss the shipment drop." "Well, excuse me." "I had to take a nap after all that running around we did all day today." "Speaking of today, man, what you gonna do with Mom and the girls?" "They were supposed to be out of here today?" "Yeah, but they're not in the way." "That's not the point." "This is not the place for women and children." "I totally agree." "But they do make the place kind 'a homey, don't you think?" "Look." "We just can't throw the girls out into the streets." "They probably were abused in that foster home." "They'll be out of here before you know it." "Definitely by tomorrow." "That's what you said yesterday." "Instead..." "Blacky." "Well, we better go." "Yeah." "The shipment leaves from this side of the building." "Here they are." "That's the gate." "When they come out we'll be waiting for 'em." "I never thought I end up blowing up children for a living." "It just comes with the job." "You sink lower and lower into your own little hell." "God have mercy on our souls." "Did you know my father was a Catholic priest?" "A priest?" "I swear." "I didn't think Catholic priests could get married." "He wasn't married to my mother." "He was a customer." "My mother was a whore." "Yeah." "Yeah." "That's right, Foreigner, a whore." "I still remember her taking me along on her tricks." "I used to wait in the bathroom until she was done..." "Yeah, that's right Foreigner, he was just another regular customer." "I'm very sorry to hear that." "My poor naive mother." "She wanted a child so bad, she planned it all." "And who better than a priest." "I guess she thought that if the father was a, was a, religious man, how bad could the child be?" "Shit." "I guess she was wrong, hah?" "It's amazing." "Who would have thought you had a link to the Pope?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "It's four o'clock." "These guys are not gonna show." "Let's get out'a here." "Yeah." "Let's go." "Mom, Mom, lock your door." "Katie." "Ma." "Well?" "They're not here." "They're not here either." "Goddamn it." "C'mon, we can't stay here." "What about him?" "What about him?" "He is fuckin' dead." "Let's go." "Move it." "C'mon." "Whitey's dead." "I found a key in this guy's pocket." "I can feel the other side." "The girls." "Are they?" "C'mon, let's get the fuck out 'a here, man." "This place will be crawling with cops any second." "C'mon, let's get your bag." "Let's get the hell out 'a here." "Let's go." "Katie." "Katie?" "Katie?" "ls Katie in there?" "No." "She is not." "Katie?" "C'mon, let's get the fuck out 'a here." "Katie?" "Katie?" "Katie?" "Katie." "Katie." "Hey." "It's okay." "C'mon." "Up we go." "All right." "It's okay." "All right." "C'mon, let's go." "It's okay." "Don't look." "It's okay." "It's okay Katie." "Sons 'a bitches." "Yeah?" "Sir, we have good news and bad news." "Why don't you give me the good news first so that I could stomach the bad news." "Well the New York subject is fully taken care of." "All right." "Then what's the bad news?" "Two of the subjects in L.A. are still on the loose." "Listen." "You guys ain't going home and you're not gonna bat an eye until you locate them and finish this." "You understand me?" "Yes sir." "I'm gonna tell my wife to start shopping for a jar first thing in the morning." "Okay?" "Yes sir." "Has it been disconnected?" "...No?" "...All right." "Thank you, ma'am." "What's up?" "That's strange." "What're we gonna do with the kid?" "We'll drop her off at the nearest police station." "No." "No." "I don't wanna go back." "Katie, Katie, hey, hey, Katie, Katie." "No." "Please." "Listen..." "No, no." "Please." "I don't wanna go back to the foster home." "Katie, Katie, where we're going we can't take you." "You're better off with the cops." "No, please." "They're gonna send me back." "Sweetheart, I'm sorry." "It's the only way." "No." "Please." "I wanna come with you." "Listen, kid, we've got enough problems as it is." "We can't baby- sit you, too." "I can take care of myself." "Please." "I wanna come." "No way." "No way." "I'm not gonna be responsible for another child's life." "This is so much fun." "Do you have this much fun when you shave your face yourself?" "Not really." "It's like a daily chore to me." "I like it." "But since you don't, from now on I'll shave your face for you every morning." "Oh!" "Where do people go when they die?" "The good ones go to heaven." "Is Becky in heaven?" "Yeah, she is." "With my mom 'n dad?" "Yeah, with them." "What kind of a place is heaven?" "Oh, it's the best place in the world." "Like Disneyland?" "Even better." "Wow!" "What do people do there?" "They sing." "They dance." "They play." "And sometimes they have to pray." "Becky 'n I used to pray all the time..." "Well it's all done." "Very smooth!" "Great job." "Thanks." "No, thank you." "You're welcome." "I'm out the shower." "Okay." "Your turn." "Okay." "Do you want me to shave your face, too?" "No, child." "I'm cool." "Okay." "Listen." "I don't like this shit." "You know, her place is not with two fucked up people like us." "And you know stop filling the child's head with all that bullshit about heaven." "You're just like my mother." "All she did was to preach that Gospel to me every damn day..." "Who're you calling?" "A friend of mine from New York, a newspaper man." "He may have some news." "Jonathan..." "Hey how are you?" "I'm fine, thank you." "How about yourself?" "Aah, I've been up all night working on my novel." "You're still sharp." "Listen, I need you to do me a favor." "Can you check and see if there is any news on a friend of mine?" "Name is Colin Zelinski." "Sure." "No." "Nothing's comin' up." "Nothing?" "How about if you checked his address." "1421 Arcadia Avenue in Manhattan." "1421 Arcadia, Manhattan." "Yes." "Looks like the place burned down a couple 'a nights ago." "Was arson." "Oh, get this." "They found a body of a guy with a couple 'a bullet holes to the head later identified as Colin Zelinski." "Thank you Jonathan." "So what's up?" "Whoever ambushed Indian and Whitey got to Colin too and blew his brains out and burned the place to the ground." "Well sir, we have teams out covering the entire area surrounding where they were staying, every hotel, every motel, every place." "And I've got two agents sitting on the black guy's place providing surveillance there." "What about the other guy?" "He's always on the move." "He moves from place to place." "We don't know where he is." "You had three days to kill those two." "Three goddamn days." "There's no reason for them to think it was us." "They'll probably gonna figure it was the mob." "All we got 'a do is to figure how to contact them." "And we don't have a phone number for any of 'em." "Well, sir, we do have the black guy's phone number." "Well what the hell are we waiting for?" "Call 'm." "Yes, sir." "Not on this phone." "Use a secure phone." "Meanwhile look for them." "Listen you better get that license number erased from the DMV." "But sir that could be difficult if not impossible." "Let me tell you a little story." "When we were in Vietnam I was a platoon leader." "I had twenty-five men under me." "One day I find my entire platoon surrounded by hundreds of vietcongs, hundreds of 'em." "And we were in a delta and the only way out was this lousy suspension bridge a mile away." "In the meantime we were being shelled like we were standing in the rain." "And these commy bastards are coming at us faster than you could let a fart out." "But I got my men out with just one casualty." "That guy right there." "That casualty by no means was the fault of the platoon leader." "He just couldn't figure out a way to walk out alive." "Yeah." "Yes, sir." "I'll make sure the plate gets erased from the DMV record." "You do that." "Let me remind you gentlemen of one thing." "You're threading on thin ice." "My wife's already got a jar picked out." "He's dead because of my foolish mistake." "Not just him, Mom, Becky, Whitey, Indian." "Hey, you didn't know... you didn't know those pigs had bugged the place." "I should've known better not to use the phone in the house." "Yeah, you're right." "Just the fact that they housed us together should've rung the bell." "They were watching us." "You must really like fried chicken." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing." "Just that you like fried chicken." "No, no." "See, I know what you're thinking." "See, you look at the table and you see fried chicken." "You look across from the table, you see black man..." "Fried chicken..." "Black man..." "Fried chicken... black man." "Now you make the mental association." "I'm a black man and I'm eating fried chicken." "What are you saying?" "I'm saying if I was white, you wouldn't have made that comment." "Yes, I would." "No, you wouldn't have." "Yes, I would." "No, you wouldn't have." "Yes, I would." "No, you wouldn't have." "Yes, I would." "Look." "I've known you for six days and in that time I've seen you eat fried chicken twelve times." "I simply made a deduction that you must like fried chicken." "It was a racial deduction." "And you, know, why should you give a shit what I eat anyways?" "Do you hear me commenting on your roast beef?" "And that it looks like some dried up old wrinkled pussy." "Man, just look at it." "It looks like wrinkled old vagina." "And right there, that's the clit." "But you want some fried chicken?" "Man, I was thinking, what, what made that white devil give us all a hug like that?" "We'll never know." "Whatever it was it had to do with Mom." "She had so much good in her." "For a businessman slash assassin you're so sentimental." "Anyway, you don't look much like a hit man." "You look more like a CEO or a lawyer type." "Actually, I went to Harvard law school." "No shit." "Long time ago." "What, you're a lawyer?" "No, no." "flunked out my second year." "Drugs, fast living..." "Don't feel bad." "I mean your present career isn't far from the one you would've had, had you finished school." "Man, do you know I've been committing crime since I was a little rascal?" "Started when I was five picking pockets and just went on from there." "But it's all about to change now." "Don't you fuckin' start laughing, but I've been thinking about going back to school, getting my GED." "Getting your high school diploma is going to make you a better criminal?" "Very funny, foreigner." "Very funny." "You washed your hands?" "All right, have your dinner." "I'm not hungry." "Then why did you wash your hands then?" "I always wash my hands." "Listen, child." "You wanted us to bring you along, and we did." "Now you better do what we tell you to do." "But I don't feel like eating right now." "Well, you wanted to tag along, you need your strength then." "Unless you want us to leave you here." "No." "You heard what he said." "Just take a couple of bites." "Okay." "Thank you Lord for taking care of me, specially for giving me Foreigner and Blacky." "But I wish you didn't have to take Becky away from me," "I miss her so much." "Mom, too." "You know Colin must've stumbled on something big... the license plate number." "He must've found out who hired us." "Shit." "They're probably at my place right now waiting for my black ass." "Are those the same bad men who killed Becky and Mom?" "Yes, they are." "Oh we gonna get 'em though." "They're gonna pay." "And today is the sixth day." "Those punks expecting a call from us." "Hand me your phone." "Let me check my messages." "Check, please." "What's the... cir... circum..." "Circumference." " circumference of a circle?" "Two-Pi-R." "Very good!" "What kind of a pie is that?" "The only pies I know are apple pie, cherry pie and pumpkin pie." "It's a mathematical constant..." "Which is 3.14159265358979..." "Yeah?" "Hey wait... wait a minute." "Oh, hey... we've been trying to reach you." "We were trying to call you at that place you were staying." "Yeah, we were ambushed in the middle of the night by some gun men." "It must've been one of the mobs on the hit list." "Really?" "What's your situation now?" "Two of us are in hell... dead." "That's bad news." "What about the job, is it done?" "Yes." "We've got the photos and list of their clients." "All right." "I need you and your partner to meet me tomorrow." "South east of Los Angeles in a warehouse." "Both of you tomorrow." "No, no." "It's too dangerous in L.A." "Let's meet outside of L.A." "Why don't you take the 5 north to 14." "Go about a mile and pull out the road..." "Okay." "We're gonna go and meet you in the middle of nowhere." "All right, fine." "All right, that's it." "It's all there." "Twenty grand in bills covering stacks of cut paper." "It's gonna cost us a lot more if they're not dead by tomorrow." "Well no problem." "We should be ready to fly out to L.A. in about an hour." "You guys go check on the plane." "I'll see you in a minute." "Yes, sir." "Sometimes I think it was a miscalculation on our part." "How so?" "We should've gone with the pros we work with all the time not some amateurs that we don't know anything about." "You know this whole operation was happening in every major city and almost all at the same time." "I just don't think we had enough professional assassins to take out every drug trafficker and mobster in the whole nation." "Yeah I know." "But they haven't killed half the people they were supposed to." "They're so incompetent." "Yeah, go figure." "And we're paying them too." "I guess that makes 'em government employees." "How the hell did we get into this mess anyhow?" "It's those damn liberals." "If we had tough laws and tough judges with balls enough to put these drug traffickers behind bars and throw the keys away or put a rope around their necks." "Yeah." "Well, I couldn't agree with you more." "But until that days comes you know our hands are tied." "We got 'a be judge and jury." "I figure we're doing the whole country a service." "Yeah, well, service or not, if this goes public, we'll be the ones with ropes around our necks." "They have to die or we will burn." "Well, I'm not gonna burn." "I tell you that I can pretty much personally guarantee you that." "You better." "Oh, I will." "Oh, God." "Blacky, c'mon." "It's time to get up." "We've got time." "No." "We got to be at our best." "Oh with the shape that you're in?" "I'll be fine." "Yeah, after you snort some more of that white powder." "I tell you, if there's one thing I'm glad about is that I never started doing that." "You should be." "It's turned my world up side down." "It's gone." "Katie?" "What's the matter?" "What's wrong, Katie?" "What, you've seen a ghost?" "Those men did that." "Katie, we're not like those men." "We're not going to harm you." "You promise?" "I promise." "You're not going to take that stuff anymore?" "No." "No more." "I promise." "You're okay?" "Okay." "Go on and wash up." "Okay." "You better not forget the promise you made to that child." "You know I don't know who the bigger evil is, the white powder or the white man." "Sometimes you remind me of Whitey." "I've got nothing in common with that racist..." "That is exactly what you have in common." "Stop seeing the world in black and white." "Move on." "What the hell do you know hah?" "Were you a black man growing up in a white man's world?" "Were you the one who was a slave?" "Were you the one who had to sit in the back of the bus?" "Were you the one who couldn't vote?" "You weren't either." "That was your father and grandfather and great grandfather." "Move on." "Who the fuck are you?" "You gonna come into my world and tell me how to live my life?" "You're a fucking outsider." "And you're an insider." "All right?" "And that's why you can't see the forest for the trees." "Tell you what." "Instead take a look at your own situation." "Fix your own situation before you start giving others advice." "See, because behind that little fancy facade of yours is nothing more but a little lonely hypocrite drug addict that goes around killing the very people that sustain his lifeline." "See, without that white powder you're as good as a dead man." "And even the child can see that." "Now you wait here for us." "All right?" "Stay in the room." "Lock the door." "Don't let anybody in." "We'll be back in a couple of hours." "Hey, why the sad face?" "Are you gonna come back?" "Of course, I will." "You promise." "I promise." "I don't wanna go back to the foster home." "You don't have to." "Hey, how would you like to live in Seattle?" "Really?" "Have you ever been there?" "No." "But I like it." "Good." "Because that's where we're gonna go when I get back." "All right, go back to the room." "I have the whole universe in my hand and since you are one with the universe, we all are, I have you in my hand." "And I'm gonna keep you next to me until you get back." "Okay, go on back in." "Okay?" "Hey, Katie." "Come here." "C'mon over here, Katie." "C'mon here." "I'm not good in this sort 'a things." "I never had no brothers, no sisters, no kids." "I never even liked white folks." "But you're probably too young to understand that." "Listen, what I'm trying to say is that... you're an all right kid." "I thought you didn't like me." "Na." "You're all right." "Even though I'm a kid?" "Yeah, even though you're a kid." "And white?" "Especially, because you're white." "C'mon, give me a hug." "Okay." "We'll be back for you." "All right?" "Go back in the room now." "It's just the four of them." "Let's paint this desert red." "This one's for you, little sister, and for you, Becky." "If I get out of this alive, I'm going straight." "Taking Katie with me." "We're moving to Seattle." "What, you're gonna raise that little girl?" "Yeah." "You are one crazy foreigner." "And I suppose you want me to be the godfather, don't you?" "Will you?" "I mean if anything happens to me." "You are crazy." "All right." "I'll think about it." "Take the two to the right." "So you decided to come." "Started to wonder if you were gonna make it." "There's all the money and shares of your dead partners." "It's all there." "The dead men's pictures and the names of their contacts." "It's all there." "No doubt." "I guess that concludes our transaction then." "Not yet." "There's one more thing." "Aah." "The key." "Once again I can see that my men have not done their jobs." "I guess I'll be dusting off their place on the mantle piece after all." "Anyway, you guys aren't in a big hurry, are you?" "To go anywhere?" "I mean from the looks of you, you probably don't know anything about greek mythology." "But I kind 'a wanted to share a little story with you." "We've got time." "Do you?" "Once upon a time there was a little boy." "His father made him some wings out of feathers and wax." "He told the young man not to fly too close to the sun or else the wax would melt." "But the young man in his arrogance ignored the warnings of his father and he flew too close to the sun." "The wax melted and he fell to his death." "So you're the father and we are the son." "Yes." "But I am also the sun." "How fast you think you can get your guns out with your coats all buttoned up like that?" "Not fast enough?" "No doubt about it." "Men." "Oh, shit." "We better get you to a hospital." "For what?" "Shit, if I live you'll only get half the money." "Come on, get up." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Shit." "My ass isn't comfortable, man." "Wait." "Hold on." "Just hold on for a minute." "Oh, man." "My GED exam is in three weeks." "Shit, don't look like I'm gonna make it now." "Do I?" " Come on." " Too bad, I was ready for it, man." "Did you know the radius of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent..." "Come on, get up." "Wait a minute." "No..." "No, this is it." "It's the end of the road for me." "It's better this way, Foreigner." "What do you think my chances are getting into heaven?" "Not very good." "As a Catholic I've got a lot of forgiveness to ask for." "C'mon, get up." "Wait." "No, no." "Gee." "Let me just rest here for a while." "Okay?" "Shit, man." "Fuck." "I just wanna make peace with my Lord before... before he takes me." "All right?" "I did you wrong, Lord." "Shit I did myself wrong." "I wish I had a second chance to make it right." "Icarus." "The boy's name was Icarus." "I guess your story didn't quite pan out." "I can see that you're still flying too close to the sun." "I'll see you in hell." "Forgive me Lord for I've sinned." "Forgive me Lord for I've sinned." "Drug Enforcement Administration." "Drug Enforcement..." "Attention Mr. Hover." "You are under investigation with fellow conspirators for a numerous murders, conspiracy to commit murder and obstruction of justice." "You are advised to surrender yourself to the bureau and fully cooperate with the officials in this matter." "They just never appreciated a soldier who fought for you miss liberty." "Hamm." "I've already been a POW once." "I'm not going through that shit again." "I waited for them all day." "I kept looking out the window but Foreigner and Blacky didn't come back." "And I waited the next day." "They never came for me." "And then, they came and took me back to the foster home" "I thought I was going to be here forever." "But three months later he came for me." "I think it was a miracle." "How did he find you?" "He called the cops and asked what happened to the little girl that was left behind in that motel." "They told him." "How did you find me here?" "We looked for you." "You're the only friends I have." "I had to find you." "He is here." "I have to go now." "I'll come visit you again... soon." "Okay." "Is he a good dad?" "He is the best." "I'm a pretty good daughter, too." "I shave his face every day for him." "Bye." "Bye." "Can we come visit her again soon?" "Sure, we can." "Subtitles by LeapinLar"
