[UP AROUND THE BEND .]
[BY CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL.]
[DOGS BARKING.]
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' Just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're goin' [MAN GRUNTING.]
Leave the sinking ship behind - Come on the rising wind - [MAN PANTING.]
We're going up around the bend - Oooh - [SIREN BLARING.]
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo Better get while the getting's good [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway Where the neons turn to wood - Come on the rising wind - [SIREN BLARING.]
We're going up around the bend You can ponder perpetual motion - Fix your mind on a crystal day - I'm on my way to the roost.
- Always time - What's happening here tonight? For a good conversation There's an ear for what you say - Come on the rising wind - [SIREN AND HELICOPTER.]
We're going up around the bend - All clear! Let's go! - Yeah Oooh Catch a ride to the end of the highway And we'll meet by the big red tree - Oh, please, please don't stop.
- There's a place up ahead - Please.
- And I'm goin' Come along, come along with me Come on the rising wind We're going up around the bend Yeah These digs are really something.
You sure know how to charm a girl.
Seemed all right a minute ago.
"Seemed.
" You were somewhere else all night.
I'm sorry.
We're divorced now, can't keep expecting this.
You called me.
I know.
Just didn't want to be alone tonight.
The anniversary is tomorrow, not tonight.
Think I don't know that? [WOMAN SIGHING.]
Can we please just have a drink? This is depressing as shit, Roy.
Come on, one drink isn't gonna hurt you.
Doesn't work that way.
You know that.
Good evening.
Continuing coverage on the breaking news It's my favourite one of us together.
State prisoner David Slaney I like to think of her like that, not whatever she is now, wherever she is.
Minus the hideous tattoo of course.
distance and to contact authorities immediately.
Slaney, seen here, was convicted five years ago for marijuana.
- I gotta go.
- Officials are currently at the scene trying to piece together exactly You asked me to come here, you're just gonna leave? - I'm sorry.
- Authorities have posted rewards for anyone with knowledge that would lead to the apprehension of Slaney.
This dirt bag is David Slane.
He escaped from Dorchester Penitentiary and he's on the run.
I have a personal history with this asshole.
I'm the one that put him away five years ago.
So I'm damn sure not gonna let him walk away this time.
Slaney's just a drug smuggler.
A stoner managed to bust out of prison, we'll find him.
- We posted a reward.
- [SIREN BLARING.]
Some cash to help win over the locals.
Reward's a bad idea.
50 bucks, people around here will tell you they saw Elvis in an outhouse.
Known accomplices: Brian Hearn.
Hearn got away the first time that Slaney went down.
Gather in.
Not you.
Do we have a problem? Why do you say that? We both know why your career is in the place that it is, - and mine isn't.
- What's going on here, partner? I am not your partner anymore.
You're gonna be canvassing with the uniforms far away from where you can do any more damage.
Are we clear? Maybe I should just go home.
I wasn't supposed to pick you for a few miles yet.
I just escaped from prison.
Chased by dogs, everything else, running through the woods at night, I I got turned around a bit.
This place is crawling with cops.
Really? - I hadn't noticed.
- Suitcase, it's yours.
Cash, threads, everything you asked for.
[SIGH.]
You got a name? Taking enough risks as it is, you don't need to know my name.
Fair enough.
I'm sympathetic to your situation.
I mean, no way you should have gotten 15 years.
Unfortunately, the judge didn't see it that way.
- [SIREN BLARING.]
- Stay back.
You better lay low until we get some distance between us and those cops.
You can change later.
[MAN.]
: She's got a deep hold.
I mean, it's plenty of room under the floor, perfect for hiding whatever you want.
It's gonna reek like weed if anyone comes aboard.
Just don't shower, cover it up.
[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING.]
Now look, I know we don't look the part, but, uh he's half a bayman, so he can sail her.
- What? - Knock it off.
Come on, man, this is it.
You and me all the way! I like things to be simple; this is far from simple.
We sail south, OK? We buy dope.
We have a few daiquiris.
We come home.
We make a fortune.
What's not simple about that, man? - [SLANEY SCOFFING.]
- Huh? I have responsibilities, people who are counting on me.
I dig that, but how are you gonna provide for them, Jennifer and her kid, with minimum wage? Is that your plan, huh? This is how you provide for 'em! This will change your life, man! You gotta ask yourself, Slaney: are you a sheep or are you a wolf? Hmm? Wolves eat sheep, Hearn, and sheep taste like shit.
OK.
Wolves eat sheep or they don't eat sheep.
Wolves do whatever they want because they're wolves.
Come on! This is dangerous, it's risky.
Look, you're a brother.
No, screw that, you're more than a brother to me.
You don't want to do this, you say the word, it's over.
No hard feelings.
I swear.
Seriously.
But I promise you that this opportunity doesn't happen again.
You're an asshole.
[HEARN LAUGHING.]
Yeah? - Sir! - What are you gonna do? We're buying her.
- We're buying her? - We're buying her.
- We're buying her?! - We're buying her.
WE'RE BUYING HER! Ha ha ha ha! Yes! Yes, we're buying her! Come here! Ha ha ha ha! Some boat! You're a heavy sleeper.
- Wish I could pull out like that.
- No, you don't.
Haven't seen a cop for miles, I think we're in the clear.
[GUITAR MUSIC ON THE RADIO.]
They sure know how to put on a show.
They say the trick is to make it through the first 24 hours.
I'd say the trick is not to get caught in the first place.
- That's it? - She's your contact.
Stay put until you hear from us again.
No unnecessary dealing with anybody.
I appreciate the help.
[ROCK SONG.]
[THE PUSHER .]
[BY STEPPENWOLF.]
You know I smoke a lot of grass Oh, Lord, I popped a lot of pills If you're here for the dart tournament, it was last weekend.
I'm not that into darts.
But I've never touched nothin' - Shit! - You think, maybe we could continue this conversation somewhere a little bit more private? - Yeah, yeah.
Uh, sorry, man.
- You know I've seen - Just uh, come.
- A lot of people walking around - with tombstones - Come with me.
- In their eyes - Foreman is away for a while, so I'm here kind of managing things.
I let the girls stay here when they're, uh you know, working the pole.
- It's very generous of you.
- A guy came by, said I'd get a visitor, paid in cash.
Not supposed to say anything.
Now I know why.
There's beer in there.
And some other things.
I appreciate it.
Ahem! I appreciate all this.
- God damn - [WOMAN SIGHING.]
You are famous, all over the TV.
Some people might say infamous.
- Oh, right, right.
- Yeah, that's the other kind without the girls and the money? The bad kind? Not that I think that you're bad.
You know what? If you ask me, I think you got a raw deal.
A lot of people get raw deals.
Tax the rich Feed the poor Listen, it's been a long day night.
You know.
No one will know that you're here.
- Love to change the world - You can keep the cigarettes.
But I don't know what to do So I leave it up to you Population keeps on breedin' Nation bleedin' Still more feeding economy Life is funny Skies are sunny Bees make honey Who needs money, Monopoly I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I leave it up to you Thanks, honey.
Gentlemen, we're on the edge of one of the largest crackdowns in U.
S.
history, although we haven't got any closer to finding what we believe to be the kingpin of the organization, John Barlow.
- Agent Williams, would you mind? - Sure.
I was on the ground for every one of these sixteen successful takedowns.
I've concluded that every cell we nab was a part of John Barlow's network.
So that dossier you've got contains ongoing operations, - my recommendations - Williams, as I was going to say, would you mind getting us some coffee? - And some cigarettes too? - [DISTANT PHONE RINGING.]
She's a riot that one, a real ball breaker.
All right.
Open up your dossier to the first page.
Let's take a look at the foreign seaboard.
The east side Bad day? - [PHONE STILL RINGING.]
- You could say that.
Your receptionist isn't very receptive.
Can I help you? I'm looking for a KC Williams.
- I'm Williams.
- Perfect.
Makes this all much simpler.
What, are you surprised? Did you think I was that one subordinate? I think I need to buy you a drink.
You're here to buy me a drink?! No.
I just think you'd be very happy to hear what I have to say, Agent Williams.
Maybe for now, you just keep this conversation between us.
Well, "Detective Patterson" everyone's gone around 5.
Come back then.
[PHONE RINGING.]
[BEEPING.]
[MAN.]
: Who is this? Name? Ask Brian Hearn what my name is.
You tell him that I am out and I'd like to speak with him if that's OK.
So you tell him that.
[EXHALING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
That was quick.
- Slaney? - The thought of me being out - making you nervous? - Slaney, man, it's good to hear your voice.
- What's with the other guy? - [MARIACHI SONG PLAYING.]
- Called a chain.
- Look at him.
His own chain and everything now, huh? So, big man has busted out, huh? Ha ha ha! And you're all over the news.
Slaney the sheep has become the wolf, huh? Mm-hmm.
Man, we, uh we haven't talked in Five years, four months and seventeen days, but who's keeping track? Yeah, been a long time for sure.
I was incarcerated, you took a runner.
Kind of hard to get together for a chat and a cup of tea.
Look, I get it.
I get it, you're pissed off.
You were my best friend.
- You left me.
- No.
OK? I just didn't get caught.
OK? You did.
Oh, that's how you see it, huh? Yeah, and what good would it have done for us both to be on the inside, huh? And it didn't occur to you to pay Tom-Tom and his brothers back after all this time? - That's complicated.
- Mm-hmm.
He had his guys beat me within an inch of my life every time he had a notion that I might know where you are out there.
I'm sorry, man, I didn't know that.
So I owe you.
But, uh [HEARN CHUCKLING.]
my life here, it's, uh [CHUCKLING.]
it's gone sideways, man.
The DEA's tearing apart everything I built since you've been on the inside.
I've been building birdhouses and license plates.
You see the slight imbalance? Aaaah Slaney.
- [CHUCKLING.]
- [LOUDER MARIACHI MUSIC.]
Ahhh God, it's good to hear your voice! Prove it.
- AHOY! - [MARIACHI MUSIC.]
Isn't she great? Huh? The boat or the girl? The boat.
She ran to ground, took on some water, but they did a nice exterior repair, inside is fine, she floats nice, got her for a good number.
The girl, she crewed with the last owner.
Finders keepers.
Carter, you think that she, a girl who looks like that, is interested in you? I'm catnip for the ladies.
She took one look at me, wouldn't let me leave without taking her.
Our entire network across the U.
S.
is being shut down by the DEA and you bring someone here I don't know? - She's not a cop! - How would you know? What's wrong, man? Slaney's out.
Busted out.
Slaney, Slaney? David Slaney? When? I just got off the phone with him.
He called you? He had the gall to call you here?! Why? What are we supposed to do with him? I'm still thinking that over.
- Hey, everything OK here, babe? - Yeah! Is this your friend you were telling me about? You got a name? Yeah, I'm Ada.
I don't know you.
Yeah, of course not, we just met.
What is his problem? Ah, it's OK, he's gonna be fine.
No, I'm good, thanks.
[CHUCKLING.]
Something funny? No, just, uh Didn't expect me to be so "woman-ey"? Or black? I knew exactly who you were before I drove down here to see you.
I'm just tickled that actually happened.
All right, Roy Patterson, you wanna start by explaining to me why you made the trip? Drug distributors, New-York, Boston; you took down an entire network of these shitheads in six months.
- DEA has, yeah.
- I've seen the reports.
Every bust, every takedown, there's your name.
I've been doing this for a long [PATTERSON COUGHING.]
for a long for a long time.
When a cop's name appears in every report, the writer in charge, they're the ones who did the actual work.
You got a point coming anytime soon? I dug around.
Your boss, Avery, he's a good agent, but he likes the limelight even when it's his own people who deserve it.
Who am I looking at? This is from five years ago.
You know him as the drug kingpin of the network you were rolling up: John Barlow.
Bullshit! Barlow's a ghost.
His real name is Brian Hearn.
And I busted him and his best friend, David Slaney, five years ago.
Slaney, he went down, but Hearn, he disappeared.
And then boom, he was reborn as Barlow.
Less than 12 hours ago, Slaney escaped from Dorchester Penitentiary.
He's headed straight for your guy.
What makes you so sure of that? Source on the inside.
Slaney won't know we're on his tail.
So he could lead us straight to Hearn.
[DISTANT DOG BARKING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
- What? - [SALSA MUSIC OVER PHONE.]
OK, man.
- OK what? - OK, I got a new deal cooking - and I want you in on it.
- [SALSA MUSIC PLAYING.]
But you gotta do something for me first.
I gotta pass some kind of test for you now? No, no, no, no, it's nothing like that.
No, you're the only one I trust.
OK? Help me out here.
OK, get to Montreal to meet our guy.
He's got some cash I need you to pick up for me, OK? It's easy.
Yeah, this all sounds a little déjà vu for me, I gotta say.
Me going to Montreal, getting money from people? I don't know.
This is totally different, alright? This got nothing to do with Tommy.
Look Look, Slaney, you and me we're gonna have to put the past behind us start over.
Man, just get down here.
I promise you it'll be worth it.
Fresh start.
I'll go to Montreal.
Get to the place we used to stay at.
I'll call you when I'm there.
[HANGING UP THE PHONE.]
Look, I appreciate keeping this just between us 'cause my operation is not fully, uh authorized yet.
Oh, man, this pitch just keeps getting better and better.
You're a good cop; aren't you sick of getting those assholes coffee and having your boss take credit for your work? OK, you don't know anything about me.
Maybe not, but you bring down one of the men most wanted by the DEA and you do that all on your own? No one can take that away from you.
Not even her.
Well, you know, we got your type here too.
Not a lot of time left.
More time than you know what to do with.
So you're trying to go out with a bang, but any idiot can see that it'll be more of a crash.
And when you crash, you'll end up taking down any fool who was within 50 yards of you.
And that ain't gonna be me.
Do yourself a favour, Roy, quit while you're ahead.
[INDISTINCT, DISTANT TALKING.]
[MUFFLED ROCK MUSIC.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
Hey.
Hey, Murrin, tell me you're still on him.
I'm on him.
He's staying put.
Is there anyone looking for you? O'Neill? Nah, they stopped looking for me years ago.
Pretty sure O'Neill thinks I'm working in the mailroom these days.
Slaney knows to stay put until I say so.
Good man.
I'm coming to you.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
[SLANEY.]
: I don't know, I'm not so sure of this shirt.
[WOMAN.]
: You look good.
- You do.
- [SEAGULLS SQUAWKING.]
Crystal's finally asleep.
It's nice that we took the drive out here today.
It's good to get out here.
I, uh There's something I wanna talk to you about.
Oh? Like why you and Hearn are buying a boat? I heard you on the phone.
Can we not talk about Hearn right now? This is kind of important.
No.
I would like to talk about your little sailing trip.
How long are you going? It's nothing.
I don't like it when you lie to me.
Look, we're just taking a little trip down south to meet some people.
- It's not a big deal.
- People I knew it.
He's got you tangled up in something big this time.
I am trying to talk to you about our future.
Me and you and Crystal's.
What line of bullshit are you selling? It's not bull Jen, I'm putting myself out on a limb here, I need you to pay attention for just a second.
I know what you two been at: you're selling shit and it's getting bigger.
It's weed.
Are you trying to tell me that you don't smoke weed? Oh, that's not the point, David.
I love you more than anything.
And Crystal, as far as I'm concerned, is my own daughter.
I wanna be with you.
Both of you for the rest of my life.
Hearn thinks he's a gangster now.
No, he's gonna get you caught.
Would you please Just Would you let me do this? You know what I'm trying to do here.
God.
You're such an asshole.
- Because I wanna marry you? - You need to make a decision right now.
It's him or me.
Because if you go with him, we're we are done.
[SLANEY SIGHING.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER OUTSIDE.]
[WOMAN GIGGLING.]
[WOMEN LAUGHING.]
Ohhh! Look what a razor does to you! Closing time.
Oh, don't worry, - she's not a cop.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- [WOMEN CHUCKLING.]
Someone's working late.
This from the Florida rollup? Don't tell me you got something new.
I don't know yet.
It's a crumb.
Maybe, I don't know.
And this one, the escaped con from up North, what's his story? How's he connected? He's not.
That's something else.
I know you, K.
Your gut smells something up, I end up with a promotion.
You're like a pig sniffing out a truffle.
I'm gonna pretend you didn't just call me a pig.
Oh, you know what I mean.
Come on now.
Don't hold back on me.
I'm just following a lead.
It could be nothing.
Or it could be something, but Well, that "something" part is all I care about.
I'll let you know.
We've been after that clown Barlow for years now you make ground here, it'll be good for both of us.
I'll let you know.
Oink, oink.
Attagirl.

[ROCK SONG.]
[ SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL .]
[BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD.]
Like a black cat do And two bodies are laying naked A creeper think he got nothing to lose You sure know how to make yourself at home.
Yeah, and you sure know how to waste a good bottle of champagne.
- Where's Carter? - How should I know? Get him.
Get him yourself.
Mister Saturday Night Special Got a barrel That's blue and cold Ain't good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole [MUFFLED ROCK MUSIC.]
- Hey.
- Mm-hmm.
You think this is a hotel? You know, that bottle was almost full.
[POPPING NOISE.]
And pretty soon ol' Jim starts a-thinking Somebody's been cheating and lying What, are you two having a little party without me? Hey, your boyfriend doesn't want me drinking the good stuff.
I wouldn't tell you no lie Come on, man, she's like this beautiful, little prep-school snob.
She has a little bit of everything.
She always was given the best, you know.
Like, sailing lessons and school trips overseas and private piano teachers.
My little princess, right, baby? Hey, you know, that's how we met: I was playing for him at the club.
[SIGHING.]
Like a siren calling me to the rocks.
Boom! [HEARN.]
: Yeah, I can see that.
Yeah? Maybe I'll play for you sometime.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
How about you save that for me? - Please.
- Handguns are made for killing - Ahem! - They ain't no good - For nothing else - We have some business? And if you like to drink your whiskey You might even shoot yourself - [DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING.]
- Why don't we dump 'em What's Slaney doing in Montreal? How about you explain that to me? What's to explain, Cyril? Well, I mean, we owe all of our suppliers, and no one's gonna give us any credit or front us any product.
You sunk every dollar we have into that monstrosity of a hotel that doesn't look like it's ever gonna be finished.
So if you don't mind my asking, what's the plan? Why don't you concentrate on the things you do understand and less on the things that you don't.
Senores.
[GUARD CHUCKLING.]
Just make sure that the bodies don't rear their ugly heads when this is over, OK? Open top, chief.
I love the feeling of the wind rushing by, I mean And that's why I wear this: to protect my face from the bugs, you know? Even at night, when people think I'm loco for wearing these.
Driving around the pitch black wearing my sunglasses The bugs, man, they can be a real source of irritation.
And like, say you get one in your eye, obviously, you can't see straight, you can't think straight.
All you can do is think about that little thing swimming around in there.
That's where I think about you two.
Two shit flies.
What am I to do? Huh? - I ain't done nothing.
- You are the only one who had contact with the people moving our products in the U.
S.
Most of them went down, so how do you explain that, hmm? Hmm? You were our guys, our generals.
We know one of you was talking to the DEA.
Hmm? So which one is it? Huh? Which one? - It was somebody else.
- [MUFFLED.]
: No! No, no.
Ah! Aaah! [SOBBING.]
One shit fly down, one to go.
Aaah.
Do you know how much trust we're putting in you, Hugo? I knew it was Alvarez who was talking to the DEA.
My whole network in the U.
S.
is shut down 'cause of that.
OK now, but before you talk, I want you to listen very, very carefully, OK? Do you comprende, Hugo? Hugo? Your sister, yeah? You have a sister? She still lives in Miami? She still lives in Northwest 37th, does she? The reason we mention this is we just wanna make sure that we understand each other.
OK? Your connections in Colombia, I'm gonna need to have a conversation with them.
See, they have product that I need and I need you to start a dialogue.
- They don't like you.
- That's not my problem, that's your problem.
You make the intro.
And be sure to tell them how nice we are to you.
OK? Good.
Good.
I feel good.
This is great! Right, Hugo? Yeah.
You know, once you've finished up with Alvarez here, why don't you come on by the house for a drink, OK? Just make sure he goes deep so the mud sucks him in.
OK? See you at the house.
- [INDISTINCT TV NEWSCAST.]
- [WOMAN GIGGLING.]
There is one thing I'm positive about - you're cute.
- [WOMAN CHUCKLING.]
Balls! He's more than cute.
Well, aren't you a charmer.
Yeah.
But he's in love with this one.
I found it on the table.
You cut the other guy out of it.
The kid yours? No, but she is mine here.
Hmm Well, the mom.
.
she's beautiful.
Not as beautiful as you.
[WOMAN LAUGHING.]
Someone once told me that love is a liability.
Come on.
Uh, I'm good, but thank you.
No? You're gonna say no to everything? [CHUCKLING.]
[DISTANT VEHICLE DOORS CLOSING.]

Some jerk in the front row.

[MAN OUTSIDE.]
: Pull around the side! Shit.
[MAN.]
: Everybody, get out of here, let's go! - I'm so sorry.
- [GRUNTING.]
Ow! Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't hurt him! That wasn't the plan! Just We called the cops for the reward, I'm sorry! - Wait! Just wait! - No! No, Annette! I didn't know! - Stop or we'll shoot! - Wait for the cops to come.
Slaney, this way! - Ugh! - Alright.

[ I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD .]
[ BY TEN YEARS AFTER.]
- You all right? - What the hell! - Everywhere is freaks and hairies - What happened? I-I got jumped by some strippers.
Damnit! I told you not to talk to anyone.
"Lay low, keep your head down.
" They said there was a reward.
- Why was there a reward? - It's fine, I'm handling it.
They shot at me.
- The strippers? - Cops! The cops shot at me! You were gonna clear the way.
If anything happened, you were gonna step in.
What's going on? Nothing's changed, we stick to the plan.
- Did you make contact with Hearn? - I broke out of jail! "It had to look real," that's what you said.
Yeah, it does.
It did.
Now, Hearn doesn't suspect anything.
If this was all for show some operation, why did the cops shoot at me? There is no operation, is there? There's no other way.
So no one else knows what we're doing? Just you? Some crazed, wacked-out cop? You're on your own?! You used me.
Come on, we both used each other.
You don't think I saw that? I was an opportunity.
I don't unlock that window, there's no way you're getting out of that prison.
[SLANEY LAUGHING.]
We stick with the plan.
We get to Hearn.
We bust him.
That's it.
Oh, sure, that's it.
Especially now that THERE'S AN ACTUAL MANHUNT FOR ME! You made a choice.
Because of him, because of Hearn, you want revenge.
I'm giving you that chance.
It's what you want, right? - You back out on me now - [COUGHING.]
you're going straight back inside.
You're a fucking lunatic.
Yeah, maybe I am.
But we're in it now, we've got to see this thing through, you and me, and I'm all you got.
- I'm gone.
- Oh, come on.
Come on, don't be stupid.
Be smart, don't do this.
Get back here.
Damnit! Get your hands off me! Don't be stupid! Rich or poor Them and us Stop the war I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I leave it up to you

We're going up around the bend - All clear! Let's go! - Yeah Oooh Catch a ride to the end of the highway And we'll meet by the big red tree - Oh, please, please don't stop.
- There's a place up ahead - Please.
- And I'm goin' Come along, come along with me Come on the rising wind We're going up around the bend Yeah These digs are really something.
You sure know how to charm a girl.
Seemed all right a minute ago.
"Seemed.
" You were somewhere else all night.
I'm sorry.
We're divorced now, can't keep expecting this.
You called me.
I know.
Just didn't want to be alone tonight.
The anniversary is tomorrow, not tonight.
Think I don't know that? [WOMAN SIGHING.]
Can we please just have a drink? This is depressing as shit, Roy.
Come on, one drink isn't gonna hurt you.
Doesn't work that way.
You know that.
Good evening.
Continuing coverage on the breaking news It's my favourite one of us together.
State prisoner David Slaney I like to think of her like that, not whatever she is now, wherever she is.
Minus the hideous tattoo of course.
distance and to contact authorities immediately.
Slaney, seen here, was convicted five years ago for marijuana.
- I gotta go.
- Officials are currently at the scene trying to piece together exactly You asked me to come here, you're just gonna leave? - I'm sorry.
- Authorities have posted rewards for anyone with knowledge that would lead to the apprehension of Slaney.
This dirt bag is David Slane.
He escaped from Dorchester Penitentiary and he's on the run.
I have a personal history with this asshole.
I'm the one that put him away five years ago.
So I'm damn sure not gonna let him walk away this time.
Slaney's just a drug smuggler.
A stoner managed to bust out of prison, we'll find him.
- We posted a reward.
- [SIREN BLARING.]
Some cash to help win over the locals.
Reward's a bad idea.
50 bucks, people around here will tell you they saw Elvis in an outhouse.
Known accomplices: Brian Hearn.
Hearn got away the first time that Slaney went down.
Gather in.
Not you.
Do we have a problem? Why do you say that? We both know why your career is in the place that it is, - and mine isn't.
- What's going on here, partner? I am not your partner anymore.
You're gonna be canvassing with the uniforms far away from where you can do any more damage.
Are we clear? Maybe I should just go home.
I wasn't supposed to pick you for a few miles yet.
I just escaped from prison.
Chased by dogs, everything else, running through the woods at night, I I got turned around a bit.
This place is crawling with cops.
Really? - I hadn't noticed.
- Suitcase, it's yours.
Cash, threads, everything you asked for.
[SIGH.]
You got a name? Taking enough risks as it is, you don't need to know my name.
Fair enough.
I'm sympathetic to your situation.
I mean, no way you should have gotten 15 years.
Unfortunately, the judge didn't see it that way.
- [SIREN BLARING.]
- Stay back.
You better lay low until we get some distance between us and those cops.
You can change later.
[MAN.]
: She's got a deep hold.
I mean, it's plenty of room under the floor, perfect for hiding whatever you want.
It's gonna reek like weed if anyone comes aboard.
Just don't shower, cover it up.
[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING.]
Now look, I know we don't look the part, but, uh he's half a bayman, so he can sail her.
- What? - Knock it off.
Come on, man, this is it.
You and me all the way! I like things to be simple; this is far from simple.
We sail south, OK? We buy dope.
We have a few daiquiris.
We come home.
We make a fortune.
What's not simple about that, man? - [SLANEY SCOFFING.]
- Huh? I have responsibilities, people who are counting on me.
I dig that, but how are you gonna provide for them, Jennifer and her kid, with minimum wage? Is that your plan, huh? This is how you provide for 'em! This will change your life, man! You gotta ask yourself, Slaney: are you a sheep or are you a wolf? Hmm? Wolves eat sheep, Hearn, and sheep taste like shit.
OK.
Wolves eat sheep or they don't eat sheep.
Wolves do whatever they want because they're wolves.
Come on! This is dangerous, it's risky.
Look, you're a brother.
No, screw that, you're more than a brother to me.
You don't want to do this, you say the word, it's over.
No hard feelings.
I swear.
Seriously.
But I promise you that this opportunity doesn't happen again.
You're an asshole.
[HEARN LAUGHING.]
Yeah? - Sir! - What are you gonna do? We're buying her.
- We're buying her? - We're buying her.
- We're buying her?! - We're buying her.
WE'RE BUYING HER! Ha ha ha ha! Yes! Yes, we're buying her! Come here! Ha ha ha ha! Some boat! You're a heavy sleeper.
- Wish I could pull out like that.
- No, you don't.
Haven't seen a cop for miles, I think we're in the clear.
[GUITAR MUSIC ON THE RADIO.]
They sure know how to put on a show.
They say the trick is to make it through the first 24 hours.
I'd say the trick is not to get caught in the first place.
- That's it? - She's your contact.
Stay put until you hear from us again.
No unnecessary dealing with anybody.
I appreciate the help.

You know I smoke a lot of grass Oh, Lord, I popped a lot of pills If you're here for the dart tournament, it was last weekend.
I'm not that into darts.
But I've never touched nothin' - Shit! - You think, maybe we could continue this conversation somewhere a little bit more private? - Yeah, yeah.
Uh, sorry, man.
- You know I've seen - Just uh, come.
- A lot of people walking around - with tombstones - Come with me.
- In their eyes - Foreman is away for a while, so I'm here kind of managing things.
I let the girls stay here when they're, uh you know, working the pole.
- It's very generous of you.
- A guy came by, said I'd get a visitor, paid in cash.
Not supposed to say anything.
Now I know why.
There's beer in there.
And some other things.
I appreciate it.
Ahem! I appreciate all this.
- God damn - [WOMAN SIGHING.]
You are famous, all over the TV.
Some people might say infamous.
- Oh, right, right.
- Yeah, that's the other kind without the girls and the money? The bad kind? Not that I think that you're bad.
You know what? If you ask me, I think you got a raw deal.
A lot of people get raw deals.
Tax the rich Feed the poor Listen, it's been a long day night.
You know.
No one will know that you're here.
- Love to change the world - You can keep the cigarettes.
But I don't know what to do So I leave it up to you Population keeps on breedin' Nation bleedin' Still more feeding economy Life is funny Skies are sunny Bees make honey Who needs money, Monopoly I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I leave it up to you Thanks, honey.
Gentlemen, we're on the edge of one of the largest crackdowns in U.
S.
history, although we haven't got any closer to finding what we believe to be the kingpin of the organization, John Barlow.
- Agent Williams, would you mind? - Sure.
I was on the ground for every one of these sixteen successful takedowns.
I've concluded that every cell we nab was a part of John Barlow's network.
So that dossier you've got contains ongoing operations, - my recommendations - Williams, as I was going to say, would you mind getting us some coffee? - And some cigarettes too? - [DISTANT PHONE RINGING.]
She's a riot that one, a real ball breaker.
All right.
Open up your dossier to the first page.
Let's take a look at the foreign seaboard.
The east side Bad day? - [PHONE STILL RINGING.]
- You could say that.
Your receptionist isn't very receptive.
Can I help you? I'm looking for a KC Williams.
- I'm Williams.
- Perfect.
Makes this all much simpler.
What, are you surprised? Did you think I was that one subordinate? I think I need to buy you a drink.
You're here to buy me a drink?! No.
I just think you'd be very happy to hear what I have to say, Agent Williams.
Maybe for now, you just keep this conversation between us.
Well, "Detective Patterson" everyone's gone around 5.
Come back then.
[PHONE RINGING.]
[BEEPING.]
[MAN.]
: Who is this? Name? Ask Brian Hearn what my name is.
You tell him that I am out and I'd like to speak with him if that's OK.
So you tell him that.
[EXHALING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
That was quick.
- Slaney? - The thought of me being out - making you nervous? - Slaney, man, it's good to hear your voice.
- What's with the other guy? - [MARIACHI SONG PLAYING.]
- Called a chain.
- Look at him.
His own chain and everything now, huh? So, big man has busted out, huh? Ha ha ha! And you're all over the news.
Slaney the sheep has become the wolf, huh? Mm-hmm.
Man, we, uh we haven't talked in Five years, four months and seventeen days, but who's keeping track? Yeah, been a long time for sure.
I was incarcerated, you took a runner.
Kind of hard to get together for a chat and a cup of tea.
Look, I get it.
I get it, you're pissed off.
You were my best friend.
- You left me.
- No.
OK? I just didn't get caught.
OK? You did.
Oh, that's how you see it, huh? Yeah, and what good would it have done for us both to be on the inside, huh? And it didn't occur to you to pay Tom-Tom and his brothers back after all this time? - That's complicated.
- Mm-hmm.
He had his guys beat me within an inch of my life every time he had a notion that I might know where you are out there.
I'm sorry, man, I didn't know that.
So I owe you.
But, uh [HEARN CHUCKLING.]
my life here, it's, uh [CHUCKLING.]
it's gone sideways, man.
The DEA's tearing apart everything I built since you've been on the inside.
I've been building birdhouses and license plates.
You see the slight imbalance? Aaaah Slaney.
- [CHUCKLING.]
- [LOUDER MARIACHI MUSIC.]
Ahhh God, it's good to hear your voice! Prove it.
- AHOY! - [MARIACHI MUSIC.]
Isn't she great? Huh? The boat or the girl? The boat.
She ran to ground, took on some water, but they did a nice exterior repair, inside is fine, she floats nice, got her for a good number.
The girl, she crewed with the last owner.
Finders keepers.
Carter, you think that she, a girl who looks like that, is interested in you? I'm catnip for the ladies.
She took one look at me, wouldn't let me leave without taking her.
Our entire network across the U.
S.
is being shut down by the DEA and you bring someone here I don't know? - She's not a cop! - How would you know? What's wrong, man? Slaney's out.
Busted out.
Slaney, Slaney? David Slaney? When? I just got off the phone with him.
He called you? He had the gall to call you here?! Why? What are we supposed to do with him? I'm still thinking that over.
- Hey, everything OK here, babe? - Yeah! Is this your friend you were telling me about? You got a name? Yeah, I'm Ada.
I don't know you.
Yeah, of course not, we just met.
What is his problem? Ah, it's OK, he's gonna be fine.
No, I'm good, thanks.
[CHUCKLING.]
Something funny? No, just, uh Didn't expect me to be so "woman-ey"? Or black? I knew exactly who you were before I drove down here to see you.
I'm just tickled that actually happened.
All right, Roy Patterson, you wanna start by explaining to me why you made the trip? Drug distributors, New-York, Boston; you took down an entire network of these shitheads in six months.
- DEA has, yeah.
- I've seen the reports.
Every bust, every takedown, there's your name.
I've been doing this for a long [PATTERSON COUGHING.]
for a long for a long time.
When a cop's name appears in every report, the writer in charge, they're the ones who did the actual work.
You got a point coming anytime soon? I dug around.
Your boss, Avery, he's a good agent, but he likes the limelight even when it's his own people who deserve it.
Who am I looking at? This is from five years ago.
You know him as the drug kingpin of the network you were rolling up: John Barlow.
Bullshit! Barlow's a ghost.
His real name is Brian Hearn.
And I busted him and his best friend, David Slaney, five years ago.
Slaney, he went down, but Hearn, he disappeared.
And then boom, he was reborn as Barlow.
Less than 12 hours ago, Slaney escaped from Dorchester Penitentiary.
He's headed straight for your guy.
What makes you so sure of that? Source on the inside.
Slaney won't know we're on his tail.
So he could lead us straight to Hearn.
[DISTANT DOG BARKING.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
- What? - [SALSA MUSIC OVER PHONE.]
OK, man.
- OK what? - OK, I got a new deal cooking - and I want you in on it.
- [SALSA MUSIC PLAYING.]
But you gotta do something for me first.
I gotta pass some kind of test for you now? No, no, no, no, it's nothing like that.
No, you're the only one I trust.
OK? Help me out here.
OK, get to Montreal to meet our guy.
He's got some cash I need you to pick up for me, OK? It's easy.
Yeah, this all sounds a little déjà vu for me, I gotta say.
Me going to Montreal, getting money from people? I don't know.
This is totally different, alright? This got nothing to do with Tommy.
Look Look, Slaney, you and me we're gonna have to put the past behind us start over.
Man, just get down here.
I promise you it'll be worth it.
Fresh start.
I'll go to Montreal.
Get to the place we used to stay at.
I'll call you when I'm there.
[HANGING UP THE PHONE.]
Look, I appreciate keeping this just between us 'cause my operation is not fully, uh authorized yet.
Oh, man, this pitch just keeps getting better and better.
You're a good cop; aren't you sick of getting those assholes coffee and having your boss take credit for your work? OK, you don't know anything about me.
Maybe not, but you bring down one of the men most wanted by the DEA and you do that all on your own? No one can take that away from you.
Not even her.
Well, you know, we got your type here too.
Not a lot of time left.
More time than you know what to do with.
So you're trying to go out with a bang, but any idiot can see that it'll be more of a crash.
And when you crash, you'll end up taking down any fool who was within 50 yards of you.
And that ain't gonna be me.
Do yourself a favour, Roy, quit while you're ahead.
[INDISTINCT, DISTANT TALKING.]

Hey.
Hey, Murrin, tell me you're still on him.
I'm on him.
He's staying put.
Is there anyone looking for you? O'Neill? Nah, they stopped looking for me years ago.
Pretty sure O'Neill thinks I'm working in the mailroom these days.
Slaney knows to stay put until I say so.
Good man.
I'm coming to you.

It's nice that we took the drive out here today.
It's good to get out here.
I, uh There's something I wanna talk to you about.
Oh? Like why you and Hearn are buying a boat? I heard you on the phone.
Can we not talk about Hearn right now? This is kind of important.
No.
I would like to talk about your little sailing trip.
How long are you going? It's nothing.
I don't like it when you lie to me.
Look, we're just taking a little trip down south to meet some people.
- It's not a big deal.
- People I knew it.
He's got you tangled up in something big this time.
I am trying to talk to you about our future.
Me and you and Crystal's.
What line of bullshit are you selling? It's not bull Jen, I'm putting myself out on a limb here, I need you to pay attention for just a second.
I know what you two been at: you're selling shit and it's getting bigger.
It's weed.
Are you trying to tell me that you don't smoke weed? Oh, that's not the point, David.
I love you more than anything.
And Crystal, as far as I'm concerned, is my own daughter.
I wanna be with you.
Both of you for the rest of my life.
Hearn thinks he's a gangster now.
No, he's gonna get you caught.
Would you please Just Would you let me do this? You know what I'm trying to do here.
God.
You're such an asshole.
- Because I wanna marry you? - You need to make a decision right now.
It's him or me.
Because if you go with him, we're we are done.

That's something else.
I know you, K.
Your gut smells something up, I end up with a promotion.
You're like a pig sniffing out a truffle.
I'm gonna pretend you didn't just call me a pig.
Oh, you know what I mean.
Come on now.
Don't hold back on me.
I'm just following a lead.
It could be nothing.
Or it could be something, but Well, that "something" part is all I care about.

- Why don't we dump 'em What's Slaney doing in Montreal? How about you explain that to me? What's to explain, Cyril? Well, I mean, we owe all of our suppliers, and no one's gonna give us any credit or front us any product.
You sunk every dollar we have into that monstrosity of a hotel that doesn't look like it's ever gonna be finished.
So if you don't mind my asking, what's the plan? Why don't you concentrate on the things you do understand and less on the things that you don't.

Just make sure that the bodies don't rear their ugly heads when this is over, OK? Open top, chief.
I love the feeling of the wind rushing by, I mean And that's why I wear this: to protect my face from the bugs, you know? Even at night, when people think I'm loco for wearing these.
Driving around the pitch black wearing my sunglasses The bugs, man, they can be a real source of irritation.
And like, say you get one in your eye, obviously, you can't see straight, you can't think straight.
All you can do is think about that little thing swimming around in there.
That's where I think about you two.
Two shit flies.
What am I to do? Huh? - I ain't done nothing.
- You are the only one who had contact with the people moving our products in the U.
S.
Most of them went down, so how do you explain that, hmm? Hmm? You were our guys, our generals.
We know one of you was talking to the DEA.
Hmm? So which one is it? Huh? Which one? - It was somebody else.
- [MUFFLED.]
: No! No, no.
Ah! Aaah! [SOBBING.]
One shit fly down, one to go.
Aaah.
Do you know how much trust we're putting in you, Hugo? I knew it was Alvarez who was talking to the DEA.
My whole network in the U.
S.
is shut down 'cause of that.
OK now, but before you talk, I want you to listen very, very carefully, OK? Do you comprende, Hugo? Hugo? Your sister, yeah? You have a sister? She still lives in Miami? She still lives in Northwest 37th, does she? The reason we mention this is we just wanna make sure that we understand each other.
OK? Your connections in Colombia, I'm gonna need to have a conversation with them.
See, they have product that I need and I need you to start a dialogue.
- They don't like you.
- That's not my problem, that's your problem.
You make the intro.
And be sure to tell them how nice we are to you.
OK? Good.
Good.
I feel good.
This is great! Right, Hugo? Yeah.
You know, once you've finished up with Alvarez here, why don't you come on by the house for a drink, OK? Just make sure he goes deep so the mud sucks him in.

Damnit! I told you not to talk to anyone.
"Lay low, keep your head down.
" They said there was a reward.
- Why was there a reward? - It's fine, I'm handling it.
They shot at me.
- The strippers? - Cops! The cops shot at me! You were gonna clear the way.
If anything happened, you were gonna step in.
What's going on? Nothing's changed, we stick to the plan.
- Did you make contact with Hearn? - I broke out of jail! "It had to look real," that's what you said.
Yeah, it does.
It did.
Now, Hearn doesn't suspect anything.
If this was all for show some operation, why did the cops shoot at me? There is no operation, is there? There's no other way.
So no one else knows what we're doing? Just you? Some crazed, wacked-out cop? You're on your own?! You used me.
Come on, we both used each other.
You don't think I saw that? I was an opportunity.
I don't unlock that window, there's no way you're getting out of that prison.

We get to Hearn.
We bust him.
