To Live and Die in L.A. Page #2

Now it's my turn for some consideration.

You have my word, you

won't do the whole nickel.

- What does that mean?

- Grimes is the best lawyer in the state.

It'll either be an appeal

bond or a sentence reduction.

And the check is in the mail and I love you

and I promise not to come in your mouth.

I'm doing everything I can.

Carl...

...we gotta talk about Waxman.

Well, what about him?

He was your last stop

before the airport.

What are you saying?

He said you never delivered the package.

What do you mean? He says

I...? He never got it?

I counted out 600 grand

right there on his desk.

I had it wrapped in $10,000

packages like you told me.

He put it in a safe

right behind his desk.

He said you called,

postponed delivery...

...and the next thing he

heard, you were busted.

He's a lying son of a b*tch!

He's probably the

motherf***er who did me.

He ratted me to the feds.

I'll kill him when I get out.

I'm gonna give that

scumbag a serious headache.

May god strike me dead

if I don't waste him.

Your visit's over.

Don't forget about me.

I won't. You have my word on that.

Hell, I've done everything

humanly possible.

At this point, I don't

see any alternative.

Your friend Cody's gonna

have to do some time.

Why is he being held without bail?

He wants to know and I

can't give him an answer.

Suspicion of murdering a

federal agent named Jim Hart.

You told me you could

arrange an appeal bond.

Even if the judge granted

it, it's only a postponement.

- I can't tell...

- the guy got caught holding 40 grand.

What does he expect?

He'll have to do a little

to keep the prosecutor happy.

How much time?

Say, three.

No. He can't do it.

He'll cave in on me.

What can he give them?

Everything.

- So, what's up?

- Can you give me anything on masters?

There's a guy in Pasadena.

He's a lawyer or something.

Used to represent hippies.

What's his name?

- Max Waxman.

- Waxman. What's his story?

I think he's moving paper for masters.

Good. Is there anything

I can do for you?

My kid's coming in this

weekend from Las Vegas.

- You got a kid?

- Yeah. His name's Christopher.

He lives with his father down there.

- Five hundred okay?

- Well, I was kind of hoping...

there's more if there's

a bust. You know the game.

- I had a bad dream last night.

- Tell me.

I was on-stage, and people

were burning me with cigarettes.

Serena once told me she

writes her dreams down.

- She keeps them in a little book.

- Who's Serena?

What did Carl say?

He says max ripped us off.

Do you believe him?

Looks that way.

What are we going to do about it?

Take care of our problem.
