Kiss of Death

Oh, listen, tell Ma I said hi.

I sure will.

When did you buy these? They're beautiful.

Bed sheets.

So where are the drapes? On your bed?

You got to try to find the second life in things.

How's your school?

Good. Hard.

I would love to go back.

So go.

I think it's a little late in the game, no?

School would be a piece of cake compared to what you've been through.

Thank God for this one, huh?

She saved our lives, this little girl.

She really did.

- How you doing, Rosie? - Hi, Jimmy.

Hey, little girl.

Hey, little girl, big girl.

What's up?

Rosie's going to sit for Corinna, do her studying down here.

- Tonight? - Yeah. We got the meeting.

I caught the one by work-- the nooner.

We were supposed to go tonight.

Yeah, but I gotta get and go to Albany tomorrow. I told you.

I got to get up at 4.00, check out that body shop.

Well, I think it's better when we go together, don't you?

Huh. Jimmy fucked up?

Mm-hmm.

How much I owe?

Give me a dollar.

Okay.

You go to the meeting. I'll watch the baby.

- Sorry, Rosie. Okay? - No big thing.

Okay. We'll pay you half for coming downstairs.

Come on.

- Come on. - Jimmy.

- Jimmy? - Here you go.

Jimmy.

Shh!

- Jimmy, I'm a fucking dead man. - What you doing here, Ronnie?

I could go to jail just for talking to you.

Listen, I got eight cars on a carrier, boat's leaving in, like, 90 minutes and no driver.

I need your help.

You are not listening to me, okay?

I can go back to jail just for talking to you.

- I know, I know, Jimmy. I know. - Okay...

I went to three guys before you, all right?

I know you don't want to be involved with this shit--

I know you don't wanna be involved in this shit, and I respect that, Jimmy,

but I don't know what else to do, all right?

You know who I answer to if I don't take care of this?

Little Junior Brown.

Ronnie, this is your problem.

I don't give a shit.

I mean, look what he did to my hand last week.

He thought I shorted him $50 on a weekly collection.

Now I got $350,000 worth of this fucking guy's cars and no driver!

Jim, I need your help here.

Ronnie, I have a baby inside.

Everybody respects this but you.

Jimmy, you having a party down there?

Jimmy, I know that, but you got to help me out.

You cannot come to me with this shit anymore.

- You gotta help me. - Get out of here.

- I mean, you know I love you, man. - Get the fuck out of here.

I respect you, man. Listen, I'll give you $1,500.

We'll be back in two hours. It's no big deal.

Ronnie, I don't want your fucking money.

Get out of here.

You don't want my fucking money?

Huh?

I remember after your moms died. You remember that?

And your father used to go on his little benders, you remember that shit?

Whose people came to get you, man? Whose people came to get you?

Where'd you live when you had no place to live?

Where'd you live more than your own house, man?

That was a long time ago.

Jimmy, my family's never asked you for nothing in return, man.

Jimmy, I never asked you for nothing, man.

Jimmy, this guy's going to cripple me, man.

He's going to cripple me.

I'm your blood cousin, Jimmy, I'm your blood cousin.

You know that. It'll take two hours, man.

Please don't let this happen.

Please, Jimmy, don't let this fucking guy hurt me, man.

He's really going to kill me, man.

The babysitter from upstairs, get her down here.

It'll take two hours, Jimmy. Just pay her double.

I swear to you. Please, Jimmy. Please.

Please.

- Hey, I wake your parents up? - Oh, don't worry about it.

Okay. I should be back in two hours.

- Okay. - Thanks.

Sure.

I'm telling you, Jim, man,

since you went away, man, we got big, man.

No more smash-and-grab bullshit.

You know I got a half-size difference in my shoes

and always put three insoles in the left so it fits like the right?

Now when I see some shoes I want, I buy two pairs.

10 1/2 and 11. I'm talking, like, $300, $400--

Ronnie, I don't give a fuck about your shoes.

- Get me home in two hours. - Hey, Mr. Jimmy.

I'm talking like $200, $300 kicks, man.

All I'm saying is if you wanna get back in, you let me--

You playing time games with me?

Whoa.

Junior, I'm your man.

It's going to happen.

Remove the fucking hand.

I'm your guy, Junior.

I'm here. There's no problem. Let's just do it.

You're here, huh?

He's here.

We're saved.

Come on, Junior, man. It's not my fault.

What the fuck, man?

He's a drunk, man.

Look who showed up to drive.

He's fucking socked.

Half now. He'll throw you the rest after.

No stagger. Just haul ass.

What does he mean, no stagger?

We'll look like a circus train.

Fucking gorilla.

Let's get the fuck out of here, man.

Come on. Jim, what are you doing, man?

We can't leave the guy like this.

They'll cut his throat around here.

So? Good.

You know what your problem is? You're a liberal.

Ready? Let's go.

Let's go! I got a boat waiting.

Oh...

Where--where's my money?

Shut up.

Ooh.

What happened? What happened? Hey!

- Who took my goddamn money? - I said shut up!

Shit.

Step out of the truck, please.

What's the problem?

No problem. Just step out of the truck, please.

- What the fuck, man? - Slowly. Slowly.

I'm slow. I'm slow. Watch my hands.

Keep your hands up.

What's the big deal, man?

What's going on? Hey!

Somebody think I'm fucking stupid or something?

Hey, fellas. How you doing?

Hey. What's up?

Mind if I see your manifest?

Easy with the gun, fellas, all right?

Who took my goddamn money?

You want to step down out the cab, please?

No!

Get him! Shit!

Run! Run!

Go! Go!

Move your hand.

I'm going to kill this piece of shit.

Bev.

There was no need for a medevac.

My man is down. I'm gonna get him here as fast as I can.

You had no authority!

Okay, we're going to need more of those.

- Watch Calvin, all right? - Yeah, I need that, too.

Thank you. Okay.

Let me handle this.

You're doing great.

Wow.

Does that hurt?

- What are you doing? - Who are the mutts that took off, huh?

- What's going on there? - No, no. You calm down, okay?

Hey, chill out. The D.A.

- That's him. - You're doing great.

Hey. I want the others.

I don't know them.

What do you think this is, huh?

A possession of stolen property rap?

Your partner's dead, and guess what.

You're getting charged with murder.

The shot cop? You're getting charged with aggravated assault.

Now, you want a little air on this?

Right now, give me some names.

A guy called me, woke me up.

Said he had a carrier for me.

The driver was going to give me $1,500.

- Who called you? - I don't know. Some guy.

"Some guy," huh?

You know you're being charged with felony murder?

That's 30 for the body, ten more for the felony.

Do you think that the guy who called you--

If we had him here--

Do you think he'd do 40 years for you?

You got a family?

I don't know the guy.

You did good, Jimmy.

Well, what else could you do, right?

What else could I have done, Jack?
