Elephant White Page #6

Is he the boss or a customer?

There are many men who come.

Where is his office?

Where is his office?

He is upstairs. Top floor.

I want him alive.

Alive.

Wait. Coming out.

Coming out.

I can explain.

Empty it.

The safe!

Okay.

I wasn't told you were a crook.

I'm not.

You're now paying for the numbers

I just racked up here.

What's this really about?

Would you have gone at

the whole gang if I'd told you?

So what gang are you?

Am I a way of making war with the Chang Kao

without you losing men?

Hmm?

Do you really care?

Huh?

I wanted you alive

so I could double everything.

For one more man.

Advisor Bhun.

Why him and not the boss?

The old man is sick. He'll be dead soon.

You're thinking about it.

'Cause if you weren't,

I'd already be dead.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Does any of it really

matter why you're doing it?

Does it have anything to do with

my story of, of the daughter?

Another million for one man.

Try and focus on my neck and shoulders.

Too much stress.

Oh, you have no idea.

But why do you say that

like it's a good thing?

I want his name.

And I want to know

who needed me in my underwear for this?

What's his name?

Puddin' Thame.

Ask me again

I'll tell you the same.

Oh, f***.

His name?

You're pissing in the wind.

Why do you work against us?

You are in the same business.

No, the girls that work for me--

have filled out an application.

They enjoy their work. They're artists.

All right! All right! I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

Not because it hurts.

But because

he... wouldn't care.

It's Church.

Curtie Church.

And who would want someone with

the skills of Curtie Church here?

I don't know.

Where is he?

I don't know that.

Who is he working for?

I don't know that either!

Do you think he'd be stupid enough to tell me?

Why do you help him against us?

Because I'm more afraid of him--

than I am of you. You understand?

And you haven't even pissed him off yet.

What he's doing to you is

death taking a holiday.

You're already dead.

You don't sleep so well, do you?

I didn't do anything

bad enough to deserve this.

Will you go out again tonight?

No.

No, I'm done here.

Going to the toilet.

You want to watch,

you handle the paperwork.

I told them who you are.

For real this time.

And not because they broke me.

But because now you have

no choice but to run.

Already decided I'm out.

What about you?

I'll figure something out.

But you're willing to do that?

Listen, I need one last thing.

I need to set a girl up.

Maybe 14. Adoption and private

school. How much for that?

Don't know. Ten Gs will

buy a family and a history.

Another 20 will pay her

way till she graduates.
