- and I've probably given birth to a cop.

Tommy, leave it and just come over here

and eat. It's getting cold.

Maybe you and Tommy

should stay with my ma.

- Your mother? No way!

- Don't start, all right?

The neighbourhood has turned into shi...

It's a cesspool, and I think it would be

good if you were not alone at night.

I can still use the gun.

Okay. Just keep it some place...

...safe but handy.

- Keep what safe and handy?

- Nothing!

The gun?

It's in the upstairs closet.

- How do you know where the gun is?

- I know where everything is.

- Except for the god-damn skateboards.

- Lay back, Mack.

Lay back, Mack?

- Where does he get this stuff?

- I don't know. Do me a favour.

Keep the weekends free. Get a

replacement so we can have the weekend.

- Pickles?

- Hey, lay back, Mack!

- Right there, on the right.

- Thanks.

I want to make one thing clear.

Everyone respects the privacy

of Miss Gregory's household.

You'll be limited to three areas.

The vestibules,

so you can watch the elevators.

The kitchen, so you can get

something to eat, and the washroom.

So you can take a sh*t.

If Miss Gregory doesn't feel free

to walk around her own apartment...

- Oh, Christ, not Koontz.

- Be happy. He's good at this.

The security in this building

is the best in the city.

I'd consider it a favour

if you'd let us have a look around.

- Be my guest.

- Thank you.

Did you get all that? Any questions?

- What about when she wants to go out?

- Discourage it.

But if she does, stay with her.

And call it in first,

so we can put a car on tail.

She's agreed to go out only with her own

chauffeur and limousine. Check it out.

Why am I reminded of

"The Three Stooges"

You a vegetarian?

Miss Gregory is a vegeterian, -

- so I'm putting food for you

in a separate fridge.

You know how to use a microwave?

You know how to use a toaster...

and don't touch the dishwasher.

F***in' A...

Excuse me. This is my dressing room

and those are my clothes.

I understand your responsibilities, -

- but I would appreciate it

if you stay out of here at all times.

Sorry, Miss Gregory. I was just...

checking around. Excuse me.

Other way.

Hard to find the doors in this place.

Lieutenant...

Detective.

I... hope you understand

how upsetting this is.

Yes, Mam, I do.

- You should think twice about it.

- I don't want to talk about it.

You know and I know

that the only thing -

- standing between Venza getting

a life sentence and his freedom -

- is my testimony at his trial.

For God's sake!

He murdered Win. He enjoyed it!

- Win made his choices.

- And I'm making mine.

This Venza is not just a street killer.

He's a psychopath.
