Shouldn't be more than two days.

-Are you going alone?

-Yes.

Good. Can you do me a huge favor

while you're there?

Go out and get laid!

Jill!

Call me the second you get back.

Better yet, call me right after.

Call me during. I want details.

Now, don't expect too much.

I'm not sure I'll be able to

contact these people.

It's not as if the Gogolaks

have a 1 -800 number or anything.

I know you'll do what you can.

What is this?

Good luck, my darling.

And hurry home.

Do they have vomit bags on the flight?

You're Jimmy Tudeski, aren't you?

Jimmy the Tulip?

Don't worry, your secret's

safe with me, sexy.

But you will never believe what

my darling husband is up to.

You're back in Chicago?

Great.

Tell you what, meet me

at Ekins Oyster Bar in 45 minutes.

-Dave, you got nothing to worry about.

-How can I not worry?

You're back in Chicago

to rat Jimmy Tudeski out to Janni--

But I'm not going to rat him out.

You think I'm suicidal?

You are a dentist.

Look, I have no intention

of ratting anybody out.

The only reason I'm here

is to get Sophie off my back.

All right, I've got a deadline.

I'll come by when I'm finished.

In the meantime, promise

not to do anything stupid.

-Why would you even say that?

-You married Sophie, didn't you?

I'll get the check then?

I'm sorry.

I must have the wrong--

What room you looking for?

You're in the right place.

You Nicholas Oseransky?

Who are you?

We hear you have information about

the whereabouts of Jimmy the Tulip.

Did Dave tell you?

-Who's Dave?

-What did he tell you?

Forget about Dave.

For our immediate purposes,

there is no Dave.

Dave does not exist.

So just answer my question.

Do you or don't you...

...have information regarding

the whereabouts of Jimmy the Tulip?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Really?

Then I must have been misinformed.

I apologize.

It's okay.

Now...

...let's try this again.

We understand you have

information regarding--

Who told you that?

Why do you wanna clutter your mind

with the inconsequential?

What's important is...

...we know that you know

where Jimmy Tudeski is.

Look, I really have no--

-Won't you cry for help?

-Will it do any good?

Who are you?

Franklin Figueroa.

A.k.a. Frankie Figs.

I work for Janni Gogolak.

Oh, my God.

So where's Jimmy?

Look, I sw--

My brother, believe me, you don't

wanna dance with me all night.

And for a scumbag like Jimmy T?

Save yourself the pain.

Look, I really have no--

I may know where he is.

Well, all right. But don't tell me.

Let's go tell Janni.

-Mind if I piss a little blood first?

-Please, by all means.

My father...

...is a great man.

A man of vision...

...and character.
