Romeo Is Bleeding Page #4

Synopsis: Detective Jack Grimaldi (Gary Oldman) takes us through his shattered life after encountering the most deadly (and deceptive) criminal he has ever had to deal with. It doesn't help that Grimladi is playing both sides against the middle. When he encounters Demarkov (Lena Olin) he thinks he can play her as he has all the other women in his life...including his wife. But Demarkov knows Jack better than he knows himself. She plays him mercilessly, all the while threatening to kill him when she tires of the game.

He didn't think about the dreams

he had with Natalie.

He didn't think

about those feds, lying there.

Most of all, he didn't think

about Mona Demarkov

because the way he saw it, she was done.

Just another 65 grand meal for the hole.

He'd fed the hole,

and he made the hole happy.

It was the only thing

he knew how to make happy.

Hey!

Natalie!

Hey!

Natalie!

Natalie!

Hey, Natalie!

That night, he had a terrible dream.

The winner!

A bad dream.

Didn't mean nothin'.

Could've been something he ate.

But after that, he couldn't sleep.

Checked out the boys.

Thought he'd take his mind off things.

What?

This could be the night, boss.

He's headed for a heart attack.

A guy with his blood pressure,

he goes in the saddle, end of problem.

More of the same.

Look at this guy. He should be

in a rest-home, not a threesome.

Sh*t. What's he got

that old Jack ain't got?

Coroner's office. Collins speaking.

Hello, Stan. How you doin'?

- It's Jack.

- I'm broke.

Well, maybe you bet on

the wrong team or something. Listen...

Yeah, do me a favor.

You check the book?

Any new ones last night?

A female. Homicide.

Zip so far, boss. Anything else?

Uh, no, thanks. I'll work it out.

Yeah, sure.

- Yeah.

- Bye.

Is it hard yet, baby?

It ain't easy.

Yeah, I know.

- Okay, what do you got?

- I got a pair.

Three of a kind.

Ace.

Yeah? All right, hold on.

Jack, pick it up over there.

All right, everybody ante up, ante up.

- Grimaldi.

- Downstairs. We gotta talk.

Look, I'm busy...

Hey, downstairs. Now.

So?

So?

She wasn't there.

Demarkov. She wasn't there, Jack.

Falcone's upset.

He wants to see you. Tomorrow.

You'd better have something for him.

What happened?

I don't know.

They think you're trying to

f*** with them, you know?

I don't know.

Jack, I already told him, this is done.

I mean, you gotta give me an address.

You gotta give me something, all right?

The old man thinks

you're holding out on him.

Hey, you gotta give me something!

The f*** you lookin' at?

You've forgotten

who the f*** you're dealing with?

It's us. And you're in up to here. Okay?

Now, there's a long walk.

If I take it, you take it too.

Hey, Martie. Where you been?

It was a thing for the feds.

They're movin' a witness.

- Moving him where?

- How the f*** should I know?

They think somebody's workin' both sides.

I get up there, it's f***in'

Mona Demarkov, man!

- Why'd they move her?

- Hey, Jack, all right? Who knows?

We're gettin' her in the car there, huh?

Everything's goin' smooth, you know?

Then all of the sudden,

from out of nowhere, she grabs my gun.

I'm just one of the feds, you know,

who tries to peg her,

but by then, she's making for the corner.
