TOMMY:
Sh*t!

Maybe it's time to rethink

this no-gun policy sh*t.

TOMMY:

A little ass-whupping ain't sh*t.

At least you didn't have to play

all foxy with the rent-a-cop!

- This all we got.

- So, what do we do now?

- Wait to hear from me.

- So where are you going?

I'm gonna get some answers.

- Hold up, dog. I got your back.

- I got this one.

But if I need you, l'll call you.

- All right.

- All right?

Be careful.

LING:

So this is Mr. Christophe.

Apparently we're not

his first visitors today.

CHRISTOPHE:

Please, Seor Ling, have mercy.

Whatever you're going to say,

make it the truth.

You may not have another opportunity.

CHRISTOPHE:

I'll tell you what you wanna know.

Bang!

You like it?

- lt's all right.

- Oh. Think about it.

You want it? 'll make you

a deal on it, ammo included.

It's got reactive armor, Browning

.50-caliber, 7.62 M-60 machine gun.

And that cannon there, that's 90 mm.

Good around the bad areas of town.

Keeps neighborhood kids in line.

- I'll pass.

- How about this?

- A Marine Corps Assault Hovercraft?

- I'm here on other business.

Hey, Arch! We're out of room

in the storage.

All right, put them in my office

and be careful, they're expensive.

Well, not expensive to me.

Hey, listen, you weren't by any chance

downtown today, were you, Tony?

Not at all.

I didn't think so.

- Ever see a black diamond?

- I've seen a white diamond, pink...

...yellow, blue ones. I've seen Neil

Diamond. Awesome in concert.

He's in town in two weeks...

Never seen a black diamond.

Not like this.

- Wow. You got me.

- Find out what they're worth.

- ls there a timetable on this?

- Yesterday.

- That's what I figured.

- I'll be back.

Gonna return a favor to a friend.

[BEEPING]

[WATER SPLASHES]

SU:

Looks dead to me.

- Guess you got to him first.

- Not me, not my style.

You're the one that called me.

The same one that bumped into Miles.

Who the f*** are you?

- My name is Su.

- All right, Su, l'm Sally.

- I want the black stones.

- Make me an offer.

- You can walk out of here alive.

- No deal.

[PHONE RINGING]

CHRISTOPHE:

Leave a message.

LING:
Mr. Fait, I know you're there.

Pick up the phone.

We need to talk, now.

Who the f*** is this?

The man for whom Christophe arranged

to have the black stones...

...brought into the country

and deposited at the Jewelry Exchange.

The man who wants them back.

- Now.

- All right, well, how much?

Maybe you didn't understand me.

The stones are already mine.

Yo, check this out?

I got them, I'm selling them,

put the money on the wood!

I don't have time for this.

That's your last offer?

I can be a very dangerous man, Mr. Fait.

I don't get it. Do I look like
