At the Hunter's Point Raceway, Jack confronts Tyrone Burroughs and Arthur Brock. Jack kills Brock in self defense, but Burroughs escapes, and Jack is in danger of going to prison because Brock's gun can't be found.

Jack refuses to give Reggie the money unless Reggie helps him. After the bus that is transporting Reggie away from the prison is forced to crash by two bikers and Jack gets shot by the same two bikers, Jack forces Reggie to help him by having the hospital release Reggie into his custody.

Howdy, boys. What can l do you for?.

- Brewskies.

- You got it.

There you go.

- How many?.

- Just one.

- Another cop?

- No, he's a friend of yours.

You're gonna like this job.

He was in my brother's gang.

First he dropped a dime on him...

..then he ratted him to the cop

that blew him away.

- l'll go in. You want a coke?

Cherry Ganz, officer.

Do l know you guys?

- Who are you calling, friend?

- l wasn't calling anybody.

- Somehow l don't believe you.

- Oh, God, no!

$100,000. 50,000 now.

lceman is a generous guy.

l don't like hundreds.

What kind of sh*t is this?

This is the guy. The balance is due

when he's dusted. We want him dead.

Yeah, whatever. No problem.

Police! Freeze!

Move apart. l don't want anybody

to get hurt here, so move slow.

Sh*t!

Here come the cops,

get the hell out of here!

He works at the track.

and we've got a little job to do.

When l get out of here,

gonna give you your money back.

l gave you that money in good faith.

l trusted you.

- Now you're telling me l can't have it?

- Now you've got the picture, convict.

- You screwed up, Hammond.

- lt was self-defence.

l served two years for a crime l did.

l never denied that.

But l've just done five years

for a robbery l didn't do.

Murderers do less time than me.

You can spend your remaining time

in isolation. Open up.

Roxanne

You don't have to

put on the red light

Those days are over, you don't

have to sell your body to the night

- Whisky. Put it in a glass.

Mr Price, the man is distressed.

That mess in the desert makes him

wonder if your boys can finish the job.

Not to worry.

Real pros? Not from where l'm sitting.

Don't get the heat all jacked up

when you're doing a job.

lf you want to be an outlaw,

there ain't no rules.

- ls that your philosophy?.

- We're the only real Americans left.

We believe in freedom.

We live the way folks used to.

Before big cities, lawyers, computers

with your names in them. Free!

The rest of you

are just a bunch of f***ing slaves.

That's real interesting, Mr Price.

Maybe you should run for office.

l'm supposed to tell you

to take precautions.

Your backup

got barbecued at a racetrack.

- You know what to do with that?

- No problem here, friend.

- l used to be a Marine.

- l guess that figures.

lf you have any trouble, come to me.

Come on.

My friend and l just came into town.

We're looking for a whore that works

She's dancing up in North Beach.
