Sh*t!
Come on.
Hey, Marvin,|what are you doin'?
He's mine, Jack. Get lost.|- F*** you.
He's mine. Eddie assigned him to me.|What are you doing?
Straighten it out with Eddie.|I'll collect the money.
I almost got killed. He shot at me.|- Back off!
I'm taking him.|This guy's worth 1.200.
What the hell we fightin' for?|We're friends.
Nothing personal, but f*** off.
Take it easy. Jesus!|Marvin, watch out!
What the f***'s goin' on?|You guys ain't cops.
No, we're ballet dancers.
Your mother teach you how to react|to strangers?
Not shoot at 'em?
Hey, Marvin, thanks for the car.
You sleep, and I'll bring it back|a little later.
Got a delivery for you, Gooch.
Good. The soda machine's been out|for a week and a half.
Check that for me.
What've we got here?
All right.|Give you any trouble?
Did you give me any trouble?
F*** you, man!|- He didn't give me trouble.
If you want your arms, walk.|- F*** you, too!
Slap it.
Mascone's Bail Bonds.
No, it's cash only.|No checks, no cards.
I'm sorry, ma'am.|That's the policy.
I wish I could help you out.|Sorry.
Just dropped off Bouchet.|Is Eddie in?
So you finally|caught someone, Jack.
Jerry, is he in?
That's terrific.
Been tryin' to reach you.|What do you got for me?
You were tryin' to reach me?|Bouchet.
Bouchet. Good score, Jack.|Nine-hundred, right?
No, it's 1.200.|- No, nine.
That's 1.200. Come on.
No. Yeah, you're right.
My stomach's killin' me.|I'm goin' to Chin Loo's for breakfast.
I wanna talk to you.|- About what?
I'll talk to you over there.|- Could I have my money first?
Of course.|You think I'm gonna try to stiff you?
You? Never! He would never|try and stiff me.
Do I detect sarcasm?|- Never.
Where have I inherited|this reputation?
I have never done business|with anybody...
and Jerry is my witness,|that I have ever, ever, ever
Has that phone ever rang|with a complaint about me?
Never. So let's go.|I'll buy you some breakfast.
I don't eat breakfast.|- Then have an early lunch. Let's go.
You ever hear of Jonathan Mardukas?
The Duke. Yeah, I know who he is.|- What do you know?
He's that accountant that embezzled|millions from some Vegas wise guy.
He gave it to charity.|- Very good.
Only thing is, it wasn't a couple|of million. It was $15 million.
It wasn't some Vegas wise guy.|It was Jimmy Serrano.
I know.|I can read the papers.
Look, I don't wanna bring up|the past, but...
isn't it Serrano who ran you out of|Chicago when he was runnin' things then?
He didn't run me out.|- You gave up bein' a cop to do this?
All right, what's the point?|- The point, Jack?
I bailed out the accountant.|I didn't know who he was at the time.
Had I known, there was no way|I would've put up the bond.
It's only time before Serrano|vanishes this guy from the planet...
and I'm out $450.000.
You're out $450.000 on this guy?
No, because I got you. You're the best.|You'll find him and bring him back.
Yeah, right.
How do you know he's still alive?
Because this guy is crazy.
He sends postcards to Serrano...
tellin' him what a great time|he's havin' with his money.
How much time do you got left?|- Friday midnight I default.
I eat the $450.000.|- This Friday?
That's five days. Forget it.|You go find him. Give me my money.
Listen to me.
I'll give you $50 grand.
$50 grand? I gotta chase you down|for $1.200. Forget it.
No, Jack, please...|- Forget about it. What else you got?
This is it. If you don't find this guy,|I'm outta business.
Eddie, I'll do it for $100.000.
$100.000!|Are you outta your mind?
This is an easy gig.|It's a midnight run, for Chris sakes!
Maybe you haven't noticed,|but I'm tired of gettin' shot at.
I'm tired of this miserable f***in'|business, every lowlife that I run into.
If you're gonna pay me,|you gotta pay me what's right.
You want me for this job,|give me what's right.
The guy is an accountant.|He's not gonna shoot you.
All you have to do is find him...
put him in a bag, hit him|with a rubber hose, bring him home.
That's easy for you to say.|Listen to me.
It's $100.000. No more, no less.|And I want a contract.
Contract?|- Right, and I want it in writing.
$100.000 and I'll have the Duke here|for you by Friday night.
Now, can I have my $1.200, please?
You do worse than any crook|I ever put a bond up for.
Stanley? Stan!
Hey, Big Dog. How are you?|What are you doin' here?
I need a favor.
I need to see the booking slip|of Jonathan Mardukas.
M-A-R-D-U-K-A-S.
Here you go.
Yes, sir.
What's that?
The number he called|right after he was arrested.
Are you Jack Walsh?
Excuse me.|- Are you Jack Walsh?
Do I know you?|- Alonzo Mosely, FBl.
That's a nice badge.|How can I get one of those?
I wanna talk.
Call my social secretary.|- Very funny.
I wanna talk to you.|- Take your hands off me!
Geez! Take it easy!
It's a $10 fine for jaywalking in L.A.|- Oh, shut up!
I want to know if you're working on|anything to do with Jonathan Mardukas?
Never heard of him.|- I believe you have heard of him.
We've been working on this|Jimmy Serrano thing for six years.
Mardukas is my shot.
I'm gonna bring him in|to federal court.
I don't want any third-rate rent-a-thug|who couldn't cut it as a Chicago cop...
bringing him to L.A.|on some bullshit local charge.
Do I make myself understood?
Can I ask you something?
These sunglasses, they're really nice.|Are they government issue...
or do all you guys|go get 'em at the same store?
Do I make myself understood?|- Can't you take a joke?
Get him outta here.
Let's talk some more.|- Get the f*** outta here.
If I hear anything,|I'll let you know.
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
Could I have my sunglasses back?|- Here's your sunglasses.
Thanks. Thanks for this too.
"Alonzo Mosely".
Alonzo.
How's that?
Looks fine to me.
Harold Longman, please.
Harry? Jack Walsh.|How ya doin'?
You got that address check|on that phone number for me?
Okay. Thanks a lot, Harry.|Say hello to Julie for me.
Okay, bye.
Thank you.
You Jack Walsh?
Who wants to know?|- Answer "yes".
We'd like to have a word with you.|- Yeah? What about?
It involves big cash, lotta prizes.
I'll make it short. The people|I work for are interested in your visit.
Yeah? Who do you work for?|- Your old friend from the Chicago days.
You're here for the Duke. You think he's|in New York, and we think you're right.
That's a nice jacket.|What is it, goat skin?
Come on, Joey, please, will ya?|Never mind him.
I hear you didn't cooperate|with my boss a few years back.
Is that what you heard?|- Yeah, but I got a news flash.
He'd pay a lot more for the Duke|than that bail bondsman in L.A.
How much more?|- How about a one with six zeroes?
Are you gonna propose?|- Propose?
'Cause if you're not,|quit starin' at me, okay?
You're staring at me.|- Joey, back off, will you, please?
Mr. Walsh, your car's located|in space number 206.
You can catch our shuttle bus|just through these doors.
Thank you.|- Here's my number, Jack.
Ask for Tony Darvo. That's me. They'll|put you through to wherever I am.
