The Last Run

Senor Garmes, you're right in time.

Yes. Good catch?

Only fair, there is a north wind.

If isn't the wind, it's the temperature,

If isn't the temperature, it's the moon. All three are never right.

Even so, the best fish in the Atlantic end up in our boat.

Miguel...

... I'm going away tomorrow. Only for a short time.

A vacation, senor?

No, business trip.

Anything you need for the boat?

No.

She will float until you get back. God willing.

When you come back,

I'm gonna cook you a mullet you can eat without fear.

With a little pain afterwards.

You are very ardent.

It happens.

What was the occasion?

Was it your birthday, or mine?

I didn't think whores were impressed by such manners.

Oh, come...

You are telling me I don't notice the difference between you and...

... old Gomez, the dentist?

Or me and young Belasco, the croupier?

He hasn't got your strength.

I'll bet you say that to all the boys.

I do.

The men don't come here to be insulted.

They come to get away from their wives, or the mothers of their wives.

Or their children, their work...

Or...

Just put me down as a creature of necessity.

Was your wife good in bed?

She didn't snore.

Was she pretty?

"A body of silver and silk,

and eyes the color of gentians."

That is a lovely thing to say.

Well, her boyfriend had a very nice turn of phrase.

She left some of his old letters behind.

But you did love her.

It's all in the past.

It's better left.

Keep this for me, will you?

What is it?

Something I want you to keep while I'm gone.

- Where are you going? - Just business.

You are driving again for criminals?

I'm driving again for me.

'Cause I'm getting ready to die sitting down here.

And driving again,

I can see if my nerves and my brain are still connected. That's why I've...

You're right about the people that are paying me. You're right...

They are criminals.

Is it stolen?

Is that why you gave it to me?

No, no. It's just that it's real money.

It's not bank money.

If you were to look very closely under the picture of Benjamin Franklin

you would see that it said:

"This proves Harry Garmes is still alive"

And if it should happen to prove otherwise, consider it yours.

- When do you go? - Tomorrow morning

Come back later. I have two more customers but I will cut it short.

Come back, and I will cook you something that doesn't taste of sardines.

Thanks, but I have things to do.

This work, is it dangerous?

No, just transportation.

Are you catholic?

In the old days, before the fall, I owned a few shares.

I will pray for you.

You think it would do no good to have a whore pray for you?

"She's not a whore...

who sleeps a bed with thee, and he, and me.

She's a whore...

who has the heart of a whore."

Believe me, I know.

Father, I've sinned.

Not that there was something else, it's not the same then.

Lately I,

haven't done much of anything.

I don't believe much.

But there's this thing I have to, and I wanna do it right.

It's the only thing I know.

It's for money.

But I would like to do it right.

That's all.

Do you want to confess to, my son?

No, thank you, Father. No need.

I already took care of it..

Get them out!

Quick!

Come on, faster.

Come on!

Get in the back.

Okay, you can come out now.

It made me wish I was back in the Penitentiary!

There's some clothes right here in the back.

- Are we going through Vallaposa? - It's not on our route.

Change of plans. We got business in Vallaposa.

- What kind of business? - Fun business. Happy business.

It isn't everyday you break out of stir.

Hey, that was pretty good back there. They way they put it together.

That's what I call first class.

- What's in Vallaposa? - Don't worry.

You're just the taxi driver. I'm the passenger, I tell you where to go.

You just keep your hands on the wheel so everything looks right.

Hey, that's pretty freaky.

What are we doing when we get to Vallaposa?

We pick up my girl.

Nobody told me anything about a girl.

That's because they didn't know anything about a girl.

Just like they don't know what it's like

to be munching with a bunch of nuts and perverts.

Don't worry.

- What's your name anyway? - Garmes.

- Harry Garmes. - Everything's gonna be okay, Harry

Nobody'll be upset with you as long as you do what you were hired to do.

Which is to drive.

Did you bring me a gun?

That's another thing they didn't tell me anything about.

Did you think they'd send you postcards when I went to the can?

What are you, some kind of robot?

They sure are making safe-blowers tough nowadays.

What did you do, bite through the locks?

What's with the safe-blower?

You told me that's your trade.

I don't blow boxes, man. I blow heads.

When I say bang, everything gets suddenly dark!

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Hello? Room 301, please.

Claudie?

Yeah. Fine, no trouble.

106. Yeah.

Come on down and bring my things.

Great. I'll be waiting, baby.

Hey! Sexy!

Who's your tailor? Think he could make a pair of these?

Hey, don't go making yourself too comfortable.

After all, it's been 9 months and I got a feeling you snore.

You don't talk a lot do you, Harry?

Have you ever worked for these guys before?

Because I sure never have heard of you. Who is it?

It's me.

Don't go. I'd like you to meet your niece

Uncle, niece,

nieces boyfriend.

I'll get you the bottle.

That's alright, I'll get a drink upstairs.

Okay, but there's a some things I want to ask you...

... Uncle.

Did you say you'd worked with these guys before?

No, I haven't.

Then who was you last number with? - You wouldn't know him.

Try me.

Well, it was before your time.

When did you do your last job?

Nine years ago.

Nine years?!

You haven't been on a job in nine years? - That's right.

Do you know what's happened in nine years, old man.

They've gone to the moon.

That's not my kind of drive.

Yeah, but what is?

You're a hearse driver!

He didn't even bring a gun. Did you?

Yeah, it's in my bag.

32? You can't even stop a cat with one of these.

Peashooter for a gun, and a dinosaur for a driver.

This is gonna be a good trip.

- Wait. You'll need the key - Thank you.

- Excuse the mess up there. - Sure.

Where the hell did they dig him up?

Nine years!

- Who is it? - Me.

- What do you want? - Can I have a word?

- Well? - Not in front of the lady.

Listen, sonny Jim.

You've got a bad mouth.

You wanna keep on brushing your own teeth,

you gotta keep them covered.

You can go right ahead with your comedy routine for the lady there,

but from now on...

Don't make me your straight man.

Okay?

Come in.

- I have to get my things. - Oh yeah, sure, go ahead.

- Thank you. - No trouble.

- How long have you been here? - Two weeks.

- It's been pretty interesting, huh? - No, it was very dull.

- You ever think he'd never show up? - No, I knew he'd come.

- You have faith in him then? - It's not that.

I know him. He's very determined. He'll kill to get what he wants.

You should know that. He's not someone to take lightly.

Oh, he won't kill me. Until I get him across the border.

Well, he's some other things before he's smart.

So I wouldn't count on that.

My name's Harry Garmes.

My name's Claudie Scherrer. He calls me Claudie.
