...how bad things can get?

Educate me.

Slim, I'm a determined man.

I was determined to have you, and I did.

This house, my company...

I am and always will be a person

who gets what he wants.

And I still want you.

You can either accept that...

...or you can fight it.

Which way do you want to go?

I want to be happy.

Good.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah.

I have a friend whose husband beats her up.

She should come in here and file a complaint.

If she has physical evidence of abuse

on her person...

...we'll go out and arrest him.

- If he has money, he can bail himself out.

- That's true.

- Then he's free till it goes to trial.

- If it goes to trial.

It's up to the city's attorney's office

whether to prosecute.

Okay, so...

...she comes in here, she has him arrested...

...and pisses him off...

...then there's no guarantee

that he won't come after her once he's out.

She could get a protection order.

What's that? A little piece of paper

that says he can't come around?

And when he comes around,

what does she do, throw it at him?

She calls us.

And what about the kid? Is the...

- Is the paper good for the kid, too?

- There's a child involved?

That's a matter for the family courts.

But unless she can prove

that he's a danger to the child...

...she can't legally bar him access. Miss! Miss!

- Maybe she didn't hear the signal.

- No, she heard it.

No.

I think maybe Teddy is right.

Maybe she could still be sleeping.

She's not sleeping, okay, Phil?

She's coming any second.

Okay, do it again.

Put her down.

We should go in.

It'd be crazy if we woke him up.

Plus, she's going to flick the lights

if anything is wrong.

- Right?

- Yeah.

Another step and you're dead.

Oh, my God!

You don't understand.

You've broken into our house.

She's alive.

The lights are out. I can't see who you are.

I could kill you free and clear.

Sir, please.

- Where's Gracie?

- She's here.

We are happy to leave, Mitch,

with Slim and Miss Gracie.

And make no mistake. If you keep them here,

we will go straight to the police...

...who will surely arrest you

with a great deal of pleasure.

I don't want to say this in front of the group...

...but you are just a rug head.

If you go to the cops,

it will be her word against mine.

And they will find drugs in her bureau

or her car, or whatever.

Trust me on that. I'll have custody of Gracie

by the end of the week.

No. Help me. I got to get her out of here.

Enough with her. Get out.

Wake up, baby. Wake up. Look at your papa.

We're going for a little ride. Look at your papa.

Help them up. Get the bag.

- Look at your papa.

- I'll see you soon.

'Bye, sweetie.

And she's tied up because...
