The Prince Page #5

I fell, too, but I wasn't hit.

Not yet.

You don't remember this?

You started walking across the room

to me, stepping over the bodies,

coming right for me,

like you could...

Smell that there was still

somebody alive in the room.

You put your gun right up to my head.

I waited for you to pull the trigger.

Closed my eyes.

That gunshot never came.

By the time I had the guts to

open my eyes, you were long gone.

Well... I used to drink back then.

Well, maybe you let me live

so that, 20 years later,

we'd be sitting in a bar,

and I could tell my nephew

to tell you whatever you wanna know.

I don't know where

she is, man, I swear.

We went out a few times.

She started getting into harder stuff...

heroin... but I don't do that sh*t.

It's not what I do.

Where is she?

Last I knew, she was

with The Pharmacy.

You left her at a pharmacy?

The Pharmacy is a scumbag drug

dealer named Tony Martinez.

Yeah, he works out of a

warehouse on the east side.

Where?

23rd and Atlantic.

I'd appreciate...

That you don't talk about

this conversation.

You have my word.

Oh... Stuart's...

I ran out of ammo.

Oh, that guy gives

me the creeps, man.

Beth's my friend, all right?

I'm not just gonna get in

the car and turn around.

What part didn't you

understand about?

Aren't you glad I'm here?

- I'm driving.

- What would you have done?

I'm driving.

Move over.

- Are you gonna take a taxi?

- Let's go.

Go, go.

Come on. Let's go.

Remind me again who this guy is.

Former boxer, been talking

behind your back.

Making himself appear like...

Somebody connected to you.

I heard local vice has taken

a vested interest in him.

Okay.

Donny Musical.

How could you forget that name?

Everybody says you're a real punk.

Now you've been making

problems for me...

My family.

My family and my friends,

you make promises you can't keep.

Borrow money you can't repay.

Down here... You can't

get away with that sh*t.

Don't say anything just yet.

You can do all this bullshit

posturing in L.A. and New York,

but you can't do it down here.

Not in my city.

You think that's gonna

impress anybody?

Donny... nothing is more important

than your name.

And you've been using mine.

You cheated me...

you went behind my back

and took something that

didn't belong to you, Donny.

I'm not gonna forgive you.

Only God forgives.

Bye-bye, Donny.

Uhh!

It's definitely him.

It's been 20 years since

he's been seen in the city.

How can you be so sure?

O'Reilly took special interest as

soon as he walked in the door.

You bring him to me.

Now, do you understand?

We're tailing him now.

Boss, I know you don't

want to hear this,

but you pay me a lot of money
