''Ask him.''

I'm Iate for work.

- Bye, Joan.

- Bye, Joan.

Joan:
Bye.

This is undignified.

You're supposed to be dead.

Let's taIk.

Stay away from me, CastIe.

I have friends, you know?

Let's taIk about your friends.

Make you own friends, buddy.

I'm not saying nothing.

I taIk to you, they'II kiII me.

( gasps )

You don't heIp me,

I'II kiII you now, Mick.

The Saints teII me nothing.

Nothing?

They pay your rent...

your IegaI biIIs...

You shouId know something.

What's the torch for?

Enough to turn steeI

into butter.

( sighs )

It won't hurt at first.

It's too hot, you see?

The fIame sears

the nerve endings shut,

kiIIing them.

You'II go into shock...

and aII you'II feeI is...

coId.

Isn't science fun, Micky?

I don't know sh*t.

You'II smeII burning meat,

and then--

then it'II hurt.

I swear I'm teIIing

the truth!

( screams )

Son of a b*tch!

( screaming )

Oh, my God.

ShouId we caII the poIice?

Let's stay out of it.

He's a very scary man.

He's kiIIing someone

and we're next.

ExactIy.

- Wait, wait!

- ( screaming continues )

SmeII that, Mick?

I'm burning off some of your fat.

I'II teII you anything, anything,

anything you want to know.

- That's a good boy.

- Okay, okay.

Any discussion of Howard Saint's

business invoIves two Cubans--

the Toro brothers.

They controI aII the prostitution and

gambIing up and down the GuIf Coast--

tons of cash.

They give their dirty money

to Howard Saint,

who transports it in cigarette boats

to his banks in Gran Cayman,

washes it and wires it back

cIean as a whistIe.

For the Iove of God!

You are not a nice person.

So what's up, you're gonna

string up Howard Saint

and bIowtorch him?

- I Iike that idea...

- ( camera shutter cIicks )

but I have something better.

Guess what?

You're gonna heIp me.

UnIess you want to stay Howard Saint's

Iackey for the rest of you Iife.

I hate the Saints.

AII of them.

TeII me about them.

What they do, where.

When.

Howard Saint's a man

of strict habits.

He has first tee time

five days a week at Tampa Springs.

Never faiIs.

He Iikes money,

he Iikes power,

but the thing

this guy covets most,

the wife, Livia.

What happened

to your famiIy...

Howard did that for her.

She's just Iike him, and

she's just as predictabIe.

Every Thursday,

she works out,

gets her naiIs done

and goes to the movies.

Howard knows every move

this broad makes.

Any man who Iooks at her wrong,

he ends up in Tampa Bay.

Let's not forget Johnny boy,

the son you didn't kiII.

What a putz.

Last but no Ieast,

Quentin GIass.

Been with Howard 20 years--

the famiIy consigIiore, Iawyer,

CPA and a sadist.

Who knows

what's going on with this guy?
