Like the Conch Festival in Key West?

- No.

- Clambake in Opa-Locka?

No. Europe.

- Europe?

- Yeah.

Or Africa.

l'm gonna beat this. You watch.

(knocking)

Hey. Hey!

Richard Petty, give me a hand, man.

Hey, man, watch it, don't slip.

Watch that blood, huh?

Come on, talk to me.

Their investors won't let them

buy any new policies.

- The Living Gift?

- Mm-hm.

Well, we can go somewhere else,

get somebody else to buy.

- l can't. We've only two days to change it.

- What do you mean?

A provision says the beneficiary can't be

changed after a year. That's in two days.

- Well, maybe we could...

- Two days!

- Ann, listen.

- Don't. Don't.

Don't.

This is not fixable.

Just go, Matt.

Just go.

(Chae) What did Alex pick up

from your place?

(Matt) l don't know.

Well, over for sure now, huh?

She left some so she could come back

and see you, see if she still had feelings.

Based on what l saw, she didn't

have any feelings. Except anger.

- Think you've had enough.

- l'm trying to help you.

One of your patrons has been overserved.

l may have to cite you, Elena.

See you tomorrow, Chae.

See you tomorrow.

Man!

Busting my chops,

Mister Drinking-on-duty.

l'll see you.

- Good night.

- (Elena) Take it easy.

- Let me get you a refill there, Chief.

- Nah, l'm good. l'm good, Chris.

Come on, it ain't a bribe, just a beer.

Two of whatever he was drinking.

Sure.

Thank you.

Let me ask you something.

That night when you were out looking

for that prowler, did you see anybody?

No, l didn't.

See, l had this feeling when l got home

that Ann was with some other guy.

- Really?

- l think he snuck out when l got home.

Oh.

No, l didn't... l didn't see anybody.

Tell you what, though.

Next time that little p*ssy comes around...

- Little p*ssy?

- Sure.

- Scurries out the second he hears me.

- Scurries?

Yeah.

You know,

l could almost respect a man

who had the balls to confront me.

Tell me ''Yeah, l'm banging your wife.''

Maybe this guy, maybe there's nothing

he would rather do than, you know,

to tell you you're a lousy husband

and that you don't deserve Ann.

Maybe there's nothing he'd rather do than

walk up to your face, look you in the eye,

and say to you

''Chris, l'm banging your wife... good.''

Maybe, you know, maybe...

maybe your wife won't let him.

l'd respect him, at least.

And if he did that then l'd go up to him,

look him in his eye and l'd say:

''Just come near her again...

and l'll kill you.''

Oh, Chris. Wow.

Chris, as a police officer, l can't let you

go around threatening people's lives.

lf you're serious then l would be

obligated to do something about it.

- Really?

- That's right.
