Life On Mars (US) s01e15 Episode Script
All the Young Dudes
Technology will change the earth, and this is the future right here.
(LAUGHS) You want to watch The Exorcist from the comfort of your own couch? They'll get $ 1,500 each on the black market, easy.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING) I want to get this done quick-like.
Screw it up, you might as well slit your own throats and throw yourselves into the Hudson.
Top of the morning to you, Big Patrick.
(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING) - Lose the gun, leprechaun.
- POLICEMAN: Get on the ground.
Get him, boys! (PEOPLE CLAMORING) There's always a few that think they're fast enough.
Not usually the Irish.
The Italians like a good sprint.
There you go.
And there you go again.
That's for making me remember I had asthma when I was a kid, all right? Sam Bono? Bono, you scuzzy knacker.
It's Irish.
My name is Sam Tyler.
I was in an accident and I woke up in 1973.
I don't know how or why I'm here, but whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet.
Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.
- Let's move it, you bums.
- Look at that.
I love a woman in uniform.
I bet you have a very fine set of fun bags nestled warmly in there, huh? Like two ferrets fighting in a sack.
(EXCLAIMS) The beautiful Irish boys you'd bear, huh? Not much in the way of birthing hips though, does she? No, the skinny ones never disappoint, Big Patrick.
Mind your manners, junior.
Apologize to the lady.
There's a difference between bravery and stupidity.
Now apologize.
Sure.
Sorry, love.
(GROANS) (SAM GROANING) (LAUGHING) Let's go.
(GROANS) I'll give you points for realism, Tyler, but next time you elbow me in the gut, I ain't pulling my own punches.
- Sorry about that, boss.
- Yeah.
You had me really thinking you were Irish.
You're good at accents, like Rich Little.
What the hell have you been doing these past two weeks? You smell like Flipper after a five-day herring bender.
Yeah, well, I look like a longshoreman who's been unloading ships full of fish all day.
What do you got besides blisters? Well, Big Patrick's been cherry-picking guys off the docks for covert jobs.
We were off-Ioading these black-market VCR Those gizmos when you guys arrived.
What about Jim McManus? McManus hasn't made an appearance yet, but I heard some talk about that truck hijacking three weeks ago.
It was McManus and his crew who jacked that truckload of electronics.
I knew it.
Yeah, but the truck hasn't turned up yet.
Rumor is McManus himself pulled the trigger on the driver's murder.
(GUN FIRES) It fits his vicious M.
O.
Pumped four rounds into a lifeless body when anyone else would have stopped at two.
Like I said, it's just hearsay.
You get closer, you watch yourself.
McManus has been known to sniff out less noble rats before.
He has marshmallow guns, knives and coffins in his bowl of Lucky Charms every morning.
He's magically malicious.
(SIGHS) - Fair warning.
- Fair warning, Tyler.
- Okay, I better get back out there.
- Get him back to his chums.
Oh, Boss, one more thing.
Maybe I should get a shiner or something, for appearance's sake.
(HANDCUFFS LOCKING) Yeah.
You should.
- Ray.
- Yeah.
(YO U DON'T MESS ARO UND WITH JIM PLAYING) (GROANS) You got it.
(TIRES SCREECHING) (SPEAKING HINDI) MAN: Hey.
There aren't any ashtrays in your hall.
Oh, boy.
MAN: Stand up.
If you're picked, go to the right, if you ain't, go to the left.
Skelton.
That an Irish name? - Yeah.
- And you became a cop.
You must have made your mama so proud, huh? (MEN LAUGHING) Okay, homebound, go to the left.
Floppers, go to the right.
You.
Homebound.
Homebound.
Flopper.
Homebound.
Flopper.
Patty.
Who's the scrappy one? (BIG PATRICK WHISPERING) - All right, all right.
Come on.
- Easy there.
(EXCLAIMS) Scrappy, come on with us.
Back off, Scrappy.
Back off, all right? Come on, sit down here and have a drink with me.
You got a name, or do I call you Scrappy? (CLEARS THROAT) - Bono.
- Bono.
Sam Bono.
- Dublin, the accent? - Yeah, Sandycove.
There was a place my pop used to talk about called the 50 Foot.
Said it was a nice swim spot there.
Are you familiar? Uh, I think you mean the 40 Foot.
What was I thinking, what was I thinking? You got a brain on you.
I like that.
I'll tell you what, let me introduce you to some of the boys, huh? And here, these mooks.
(SAM CLEARS THROAT) - We got Patrick.
- Patrick.
- Another Patrick, and Sean.
- Sean.
Patrick.
- And this here is Drunk Petey.
- Jimmy boy! Can I trouble you for a pint? Your sister ain't having it.
She cut me off clean.
That's because you're a serious nelly, Drunk Petey.
Come on, piss off.
I got a business discussion here, okay? - With this muck-savage? - Oh, now.
Yodel yo.
MAN: Come on, Drunk Petey.
Let's go.
You good with anything aside from those elbows? Name it.
- How about your dukes? - Anyone, anyhow, anywhere.
Okay.
What about right now? Patrick.
Patrick? Easy.
No, Big Patrick.
Hey, Patty-Boy.
Bono here says he can crush you, fist to fist.
- Is that right? - Uh-huh.
JIMMY: Go easy on him, okay? - ALL: (CHANTING) Patty! Patty! Patty! - Patty! Patty! Patty! - Patty! Patty! Patty! - MAN: Come on, Patty! ALL: Patty! Patty! Patty! MAN: (LAUGHING) Come on.
Come on.
- ALL: Patty! Patty! Patty! Patty! - Patty! Patty! Patty! Patty! (GROANING) (THUDDING) (SIGHING) (PEOPLE EXCLAIMING) COLLEEN: Wow, Sammy.
In Irish tarot, that's a symbol of possibility.
Cool, right? - Hello! - (EXCLAIMS) Mommy's home.
- ROSE: There's eggs in there.
- Thanks.
Hello, my sweetie.
Colleen, I thought I said no more readings.
You know they only confuse him.
I know, okay.
But he got the Ace of Pentacles.
What does that mean? It means he can make all your dreams come true.
Glad you're here.
You know, I was scared we'd run out of drunken Irish hoodlums today.
- This is my joint.
I'm - Colleen.
Yeah, that's right.
How'd you know? I overheard a couple of the lads going on about a bottle of smoke who works the bar here named Colleen.
Well, pick yourself up, dust yourself off.
You're a good two pints behind the masses.
- You're through playing nursemaid? - Hump off.
JIMMY: Two rules, Bono.
Two rules that keep anarchy and chaos outside of this bar.
One, we're a family, first and foremost.
And don't you forget that.
And two, don't even think about making nicey with my sister.
Yeah.
Yeah, that'll ease the pain.
- Jimmy? - Yes.
- When will I get some work? - Hey, relax the cacks, okay? I do admire your enthusiasm.
No, I'll tell you what.
Go to this address tonight at 7:00, okay? Be on time.
Tell them Jimmy sent you.
And you follow their instructions to the letter.
- Thanks for this, boss.
- JIMMY: Thanks, boss? You say that like I just handed you a glass of water.
All right, listen, listen, listen.
Don't talk CHRIS: Why are you reading the obituaries? The least they could do, you know, print their last words, don't you think? The toughest men I ever seen croak, I'm talking about the diamond-hard bastards, the stone-cold killers, you know what their final words were? "Mommy, mommy!" (JIMMY CHATTERING ON RADIO) - Hey, Ray, you believe in hell? - Yeah.
Sunday dinner at my mother-in-law's with her new friend Gus who has a goiter and an undercooked ham.
- Come on, I'm serious.
- I am, too.
The goiter and the undercooked ham look very similar.
I'm always afraid I'm gonna stick my fork into the wrong pinkish blob.
In hell, you think they got flames everywhere? You want hell, I'll give you hell.
Hell is sitting three hours on a stakeout with a jibber-jaw jackass who's come down with a bad case of What's It All About, Alfie? This is interesting.
Jimmy sent me.
Said I should follow your instructions.
Come on in.
So, you as good with a hammer as you are with your hands? Well, that depends on the job.
Do you know what I mean? - Hanging a mirror? - Yeah.
That brother of mine, he's got some sense of humor.
(CHUCKLES) I'll go get a hammer.
Detective Skywalker? - What are you doing here? - COLLEEN: Hey, Rose, there you are.
Sam, this is Rose Tyler, my new neighbor and friend, and the mother of the most beautiful little boy you've ever seen in your life.
Rose, this is Sam Bono.
Nice to meet you, Sam.
Bono, Sam Bono.
(CHUCKLES) Well, Sam works for Jimmy.
Yeah.
Nice to meet you, Rose.
Any friend of Colleen's here is me old segotia.
(EXCLAIMS) - Your accent - It's driving you wild, huh? Yeah, you and the rest of the lashes.
You know, do you want a drink, Sam? Only if you want to see a grown man overcome with gratitude.
Hmm.
- What is going on? - I'm working a case undercover.
Please don't blow it for me.
- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here? I just moved in next door.
With Vic gone, the rent on the old place was A smaller apartment was all we needed.
And Colleen watches Sammy sometimes when I have to work late.
Here we go.
(CHUCKLES) No, no, no, no, no, no.
I really should get going.
You know, it's going to take me forever to get Sammy to leave.
- I think he has a crush on Colleen.
- I think so, too.
(CHUCKLES) Well, I mean, who wouldn't? You find a pay phone? Yeah.
I spoke to Annie.
This address, - it's where Jimmy's sister lives.
- Who, the bartender? Oh, man.
She is one witchy wildcat.
- You ever seen her? - CHRIS: No.
How come Tyler gets all the plumb undercovers? We get Diamond District rabbis and busboys.
Remember when we had to pose as nursing-home workers? (GROANS) I still got the smell of granny poo on my loafers.
I bet he's up there right now getting in her cognito.
(TOASTING IN GAELIC) Well, I think it's about time I hung the mirror.
- Look who's awake.
- Hey, Sammy.
Hey, sweetheart.
Are you ready to go home? Sammy, this is Sam.
Sam, this is Sammy.
Nice to meet you, kid.
- All right, say good night, Sammy.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Yeah.
- ROSE: Thanks, Coll.
- Sure.
(DOOR CLOSES) Can you believe you were ever that young? No.
Sometimes I think I arrived here fully grown.
(CLEARS THROAT) So, do you still shuffle an Irish tarot deck, do you? I do.
How do you know that? Oh, uh One of Jimmy's boys mentioned it.
They thought it was odd.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Well, you know what, if any one of them had an ounce of the mystic in them, maybe they wouldn't be so all-day angry.
It takes a keen eye to hang a mirror.
Little bit too much to the left, little bit too much to the right and it all gets banjaxed.
Ta-da! Well, clearly Jimmy hired the right man for the job.
Well, I should be off.
(SAM CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) (PEOPLE CHATTERING) Detective Skywalker.
- Or Sam or whoever you are right now.
- I'm I'm sorry about that.
I just wanted to see how you guys are doing.
Oh.
We're fine.
Well, aside from the fact that my son thinks his father's on a very long business trip.
(CHUCKLES) And I don't know when or how to tell him otherwise.
Is Colleen in some kind of trouble? If so, I'd really like to know.
Well, all I can say is that her brother's mixed up in some shady stuff.
So do me a favor.
Stay away from her, okay? - Okay, I'll do that.
- Thank you.
If you'll do something for me.
- Of course.
Anything.
- Will you talk to Sammy? Talk to him? I (SIGHS) - About what? - I'm worried.
He's changed since his father left.
You know, he's angry.
He threw a rock at a neighborhood boy last week.
You were right, Detective, about Vic.
You warned me, and you were right.
Sammy needs a man in his life, a good man, like you.
Just to talk to.
I'm doing everything I can, but - Rose - Will you please just Just talk to him.
Please.
It would mean so much to Sammy and to me.
I'm sorry.
I I'm sorry.
I really want to help you, but I can't do that.
(EXCLAIMS) Okay.
I'm not sure I understand why, but I can't say that I'm surprised.
Since we met, you've been nothing but a puzzle with several lost pieces.
- Oh, Rose.
- Thanks anyway.
- Well, listen.
- Just I still need you to stay away from Jimmy McManus.
Do you understand? You and Sammy both.
SAMMY: Mommy.
I had a bad dream.
He can hardly sleep.
He's afraid of his own dreams.
Good night, Mrs.
Tyler.
ANNIE: Okay, let me get this straight.
- She was your babysitter.
- Yes.
Crazy Jimmy McManus' sister Colleen was your babysitter back in - No, here in 1973.
- That's right.
And I didn't realize it at the time or even later.
In fact, it only just occurred to me when I saw her today.
But she pretty much forged my taste in all the women who came after her.
- Really? - Yeah, well One's formative years being so crucial and all that, you know.
- So does Maya look like her? - No, not at all.
And now here she is.
She's Jimmy McManus' sister, and she's living next door to my mother, - so I can't help but think - (EXCLAIMS) Please don't say it.
- What? - Don't say, "Maybe that's why I'm here.
" Because you keep saying, "Maybe that's why I'm here.
" And every time you say it, I think maybe the reason you're here is to drive me utterly insane.
Okay.
Look, I know this all seems like nonsense to you, the ravings of a lunatic.
I appreciate that.
You know, you've tried to go there with me, you haven't called the men from the funny farm to take me away.
- Not yet.
- You've kept my confidence.
I am so grateful for that.
So I can only promise that if I ever do get back to 2008 or 2009 or whatever the hell it is right now, I will make it up to you.
I'll take you out for sushi at Nobu.
I will fill your iPod with the entire Justin Timberlake catalog.
I will fly you down to the Epcot Center to show you the Spaceship Earth.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Okay.
- Okay.
It's a deal, Sam.
If you ever get back to wherever you're from, you can take me with you and do all those things.
- Okay.
It's a deal.
- It's a deal.
What is sushi? RAY: I think Sam's plan to work the sister has got nothing to do with the case and everything to do with her ass.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING ON RADIO) I can handle the silent treatment, believe you me.
I married the eldest Stovack sister.
Ignoring me for days on end is the favorite weapon in her arsenal.
I ain't gonna crack, junior.
(SIGHS) (COUGHING) All right.
Fine.
On the subject of the afterlife, here is my opinion.
Depending on how we behave here on earth, we either go to heaven or go to hell.
In heaven, it's all dancing girls, ice-cream sundaes, rivers of bourbon, Led Zeppelin music, no one's allowed to wear any clothes, you have to have sex at least 10 times a day and eat pizza when you're not having sex.
- It's like a rule there.
- So, what's hell? Hell is just a great big window you have to sit behind all day long and watch what goes on in heaven.
Yodel yo! Jimmy sleeping one off? No, he don't get up until the corned beef's on the table.
Not that I think you're really here looking for Jimmy.
Am I that transparent? (CHUCKLES) - You drinking? - Always.
(COLLEEN TAPPING BAR) What makes you think I want anything from you? Well, men only talk to women for two reasons.
When they want their house cleaned or their mouse cleaned.
(CHUCKLING) True, I could have you anytime I wanted.
(SCOFFING) - Oh, you think so? - I do.
Why? Because you fancy yourself some tough guy? I mean, do you really think that's appealing to Jimmy McManus' sister? I mean, I grew up around all these hard shells with their fists and their guns and their anger.
Do you think I find that even remotely attractive? Well, I also make lace curtains out of dried pineapple rings.
(LAUGHING) You're getting warmer.
Woo me.
(STAMMERS) Woo you? I need woo.
Not here.
(BOTH MOANING) Maybe we should go to your place.
Sammy and Rosie live right next door.
What if little Sammy hears? His bedroom's right behind this wall.
Trust me.
He won't mind.
Just so you know, I'm not a loose boot.
I was the only girl at St.
Edmund's, St.
Spreadmund's, who didn't lose her virginity until she was 16.
- (CHUCKLING) St.
Spreadmund's.
- Well, what do you know? - What? What is it? - This is the tower card.
- What does that mean? - Well, the tower card means that as long as we remain inert, nothing will change.
No progress will be made until we take action.
- Take action? - Yeah, take action.
No matter how that action might mean the end of everything we deem sacred.
If you could go back in time and talk to yourself as a kid, - would you do it? - Absolutely.
(CHUCKLES) Mostly to warn myself about my ex.
(MOANS) You? - I can't do it.
- Can't? Won't.
I mean, I wouldn't.
Facing yourself that young means you can change anything you want in your life with just a few words.
All the painful memories, all the wrong turns.
Having that power makes you question every choice you've ever made.
Who wants to face that? - What is it? - Nothing.
You're not like any of the thugs in my brother's employ.
- You don't kiss like one either.
- You kissed many of them, have you? You really shouldn't let my brother Jimmy know you have brains to go with those good looks.
Has he mentioned anything about - Well, has he mentioned anything? - About what? About anything, you know.
About me, about what his intentions are.
We don't talk about his business.
I try not to talk about mine.
You've got to be the stupidest idiot ever to walk upright, you know that? Hey, Big Patrick.
Oh, Little Patrick, too.
Where's Medium-Size Patrick? He have the day off? Oh, look who it is.
You got anything you want to tell me? Jimmy.
I got nothing to say to you, you don't already know.
You scuttle my sister.
I take you under my wing, my new protégé? If it was a Patrick or Sean, they'd be meeting my favorite cleaver, I swear to God.
But you, you got style.
You got something dark in your soul, and I like that.
You could only really work for me.
(ALL LAUGHING) Come have a drink.
(SIGHS) (CHUCKLING) Here.
Have a drink.
Let's have a shot or two to welcome you into our little enclave, okay? (TOASTING IN GAELIC) Want to see something? The picture there, with the dog, that's my old man.
Nasty SOB.
He had these shoes that, when he walked, made this horrible sound.
Kind of hard to explain, but like a click.
Clack, clack, click, click.
You always knew he was coming down the hall.
The typical Irish sad story.
Old man comes home drunk, beats the crap out of me, beats the crap out of Colleen.
He was a rough SOB.
- All around.
- Mine, too.
Hmm.
- Well - So what did you do? I went down to the docks where he was working, and he sees me walking up, and he says, "What do you What do you want, boy?" And I said, "Pa, smile.
" And I take a tire iron and I crack his skull two times.
- You killed him? - Oh, God, no.
He's my father.
But he's laying there and blood's all over his face.
And he looks up, and he says to me, "About time, boy.
About time.
" Then I'm walking away, and I hear that same sound, the clack-click-clack thing.
And he's still on the ground.
The sound's coming from my own shoes.
'Cause, eventually, we all become our fathers.
There's no getting around it.
I believe we can change who we are.
No way you'll change.
We're spurned from their loins, so whether we like it or not, we wind up just like them.
(SIGHS) Let's have a drink to you saving your sister.
JIMMY: I love Colleen.
I love Colleen so much that I can't even put it into words.
I love her more than I love my own heart, which is why it hurts me to To my core that she betrayed me.
Jimmy, come on.
Now it wasn't like that.
You know, me and her, we're not I'm not talking about you and she and your fornications, okay? It's got nothing to do with that.
Colleen talked to the cops.
- My own sister.
- How do you know that? Come on, get in.
(GROANING) Jimmy? Come on, man.
This is crazy.
You don't have to do this.
No, I don't, do I? You do.
- What? - We're talking about your future now.
You do the honors.
Take the gun.
You're family now.
Take the gun! She ain't worth it.
There you go.
I can't do it.
Sistercide.
That's a cross I refuse to bear, and I ain't going to hell.
- It doesn't have to be like this.
- What, some passionate chumminess, and all of a sudden you're telling me how it's gonna be? Pray tell, what do you say, sister sweet? Jimmy, I'm no rat.
Please, you gotta believe me.
(SHUSHING) You're a rat.
My own sister, a rat.
What are you standing over there like a delicate flower for? Shoot her.
Come on! Yodel yo, yo! - Shut up, Petey! - She ain't talking to no cops.
I got a gut feeling about it, and my gut feeling's not wrong.
When I tell you to shoot her, you shoot her! I can guarantee she's not talking to any cops.
Guarantee? You can't guarantee anything! - How? - Because I am a cop! - Come again? - He said he's a cop.
I heard what he said, okay? It's a rhetorical question, okay? Shut up, moron.
You're a pig? Yodel yo, yo, yo! Yeah.
I got a badge number and everything, 246.
Jimmy McManus, we want you for murder, extortion, racketeering, armed robbery and for just being a plain old nasty bastard.
(MEN SNICKERING) Against the wall.
Everybody, up against the wall! Move! Against the wall! Let's move! Now! Let's go! This isn't loaded, is it? (ALL LAUGHING) That was great.
- Damn it! - Come on now.
- Nice job, sis.
Nice job.
- COLLEEN: Thank you.
God bless you.
Very nice.
Good.
You're great.
Now it's your turn to get on the knees.
Get on your knees.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Get on your knees! Send this rodent to the rain.
You meet any saints along the way, put a good word in for me, please, okay? We could've been friends.
- Where's the car? - It's out back, Jimmy.
I don't need to see this.
You know, there's two kinds of guys that roam the Kitchen.
There's crooks and there's cops.
And as I said before, you don't kiss like no crook.
Why couldn't you be real? RAY: Police! Get your hands up! Hands up! (COLLEEN GROANS) McManus went out the back! He went out the back! POLICEMAN: Freeze! Drop the gun! (ALL CLAMORING) (GRUNTING) - POLICEMAN: Get up, sweetheart.
- Get her out of here.
Move it.
All right.
Let's go.
Pretty good timing, boss.
The nose knows, huh? The nose has an inside guy to watch your sorry ass.
(GENE WHISTLES) "Yodel yo," means everything's jake.
"Yodel yo, yo," means marshal the troops.
"Yodel yo, yo, yo," means get your angry asses in here.
Sergeant Pete Cochran.
Been under since you been under, except all he needs is whiskey and a wire.
Okay.
I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted, boss.
I'd go for both.
I trust you enough to worry about you, but I worry about you enough not to trust you.
- Good work.
- Yeah.
McManus is in the wind, Lieut.
RAY: Word on the spit is that your brother turned tail and is headed to Celtic town.
- What do you know about that? - I don't know nothing.
You know, the thing about a girl like you, I see you walking down the street, and I may say, "Wow.
That's one sexy chick.
" But knowing what you're really like, on the inside, you're uglier than a photo of a bulldog's hole.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, Bono? You know, I wonder, do your pals here Do they know who you really are? They know you have a dark side, how you beat Big Patrick to a pulp? How you lie and pretend to be someone you're not? Shut up.
He's closer to my brother than he is to you.
I said shut up! I don't know, sugar lips.
He's pretty damn close to me right now.
Wallet.
(GROWLING) (ELECTRIC RAZOR BUZZING) There's a message from Rose Tyler to a Commander Skywalker.
Yeah? She hopes you'll decide to change your mind.
Oh, yeah.
She's Rose wants me to speak to her son.
- Rose Tyler? - Yeah.
The woman you believe to be your mother wants you to talk to yourself? Yeah, she wants me to speak to me.
But I figured if I put it like that, you'd give me one of your epic looks of pity.
Why does she want you to talk to you? Apparently, I've Well, he's Okay, we've been having trouble ever since my Ever since Vic left.
- Are you gonna do it? - I don't think so.
What if, by me talking to me, I say the wrong thing, and that wrong thing brings about some kind of tragic result? Some kind of bad ending.
I mean, this is all I mean, it's pretty fragile, Annie.
What if the simple act of talking to my younger self brings about darkness? You're trying to remember where you put the phone number of the man from the funny farm right now, aren't you? It's in my other coat.
(CHUCKLING SOFTLY) Sam? You do have to ask yourself, if you don't talk to him, who will? Glad you changed your mind, Detective.
Yeah, well, I didn't want just anyone talking to him.
- Sammy's heartbroken about Colleen.
- Yeah, he'll get over it.
Sometimes a fantasy is better than the reality.
Yeah.
Sammy, I have somebody who wants to talk to you.
He's a policeman.
- Come on out now.
- SAMMY: No.
(ROSE SIGHS) You know what? Just give us a minute.
I did the same thing when I was his age.
Okay.
(ALL THE YO UN G DUDES PLAYING) (DOOR CLOSES) She's gone.
You can come out now.
Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25 Speed jive don't want to stay alive When you're 25 And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks And Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars From his face Funky little boat race My name is Detective Skywalker.
You can call me Luke.
Your mom tells me you got into a fight last week.
And the kid you fought with, Jerry Flood, he made fun of you in front of your friends, so you threw a rock at him.
I bet your mom said you were a bad boy, huh? 'Cause, you know, when I was growing up, my mom said I was a bad boy, too, sometimes.
I guess she was always scared I'd turn out like my father.
Was your father bad, Luke? My father went over to the dark side.
But I know there was still good in him.
And I know that you threw that rock because you're upset that your dad is away on a long business trip.
And now your babysitter, Colleen, is in Well, she's Okay, she's moved to Florida.
But there'll be other babysitters, especially Jenny.
I mean, wow.
Jenny's like When you're 10, you're gonna love Jenny.
They're not coming back, are they? I wouldn't count on it.
People just go away, you know? But it's not your fault.
It's not my fault? It's not.
It's just life.
Life? Life.
All the young dudes This guy's zooted.
Hit him with the lights.
SAM: People come in and out of our lives, and they help shape who we are.
All the young dudes And we really hope that the good ones stick around.
- Somebody's having an alkie-holiday.
- Top of the morning to you, lads.
Carry the news (TIRES SCREECHING) Boogaloo dudes Carry the news Sometimes people go away.
Sometimes they just go away.
Carry the news Boogaloo dudes
(LAUGHS) You want to watch The Exorcist from the comfort of your own couch? They'll get $ 1,500 each on the black market, easy.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING) I want to get this done quick-like.
Screw it up, you might as well slit your own throats and throw yourselves into the Hudson.
Top of the morning to you, Big Patrick.
(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING) - Lose the gun, leprechaun.
- POLICEMAN: Get on the ground.
Get him, boys! (PEOPLE CLAMORING) There's always a few that think they're fast enough.
Not usually the Irish.
The Italians like a good sprint.
There you go.
And there you go again.
That's for making me remember I had asthma when I was a kid, all right? Sam Bono? Bono, you scuzzy knacker.
It's Irish.
My name is Sam Tyler.
I was in an accident and I woke up in 1973.
I don't know how or why I'm here, but whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet.
Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.
- Let's move it, you bums.
- Look at that.
I love a woman in uniform.
I bet you have a very fine set of fun bags nestled warmly in there, huh? Like two ferrets fighting in a sack.
(EXCLAIMS) The beautiful Irish boys you'd bear, huh? Not much in the way of birthing hips though, does she? No, the skinny ones never disappoint, Big Patrick.
Mind your manners, junior.
Apologize to the lady.
There's a difference between bravery and stupidity.
Now apologize.
Sure.
Sorry, love.
(GROANS) (SAM GROANING) (LAUGHING) Let's go.
(GROANS) I'll give you points for realism, Tyler, but next time you elbow me in the gut, I ain't pulling my own punches.
- Sorry about that, boss.
- Yeah.
You had me really thinking you were Irish.
You're good at accents, like Rich Little.
What the hell have you been doing these past two weeks? You smell like Flipper after a five-day herring bender.
Yeah, well, I look like a longshoreman who's been unloading ships full of fish all day.
What do you got besides blisters? Well, Big Patrick's been cherry-picking guys off the docks for covert jobs.
We were off-Ioading these black-market VCR Those gizmos when you guys arrived.
What about Jim McManus? McManus hasn't made an appearance yet, but I heard some talk about that truck hijacking three weeks ago.
It was McManus and his crew who jacked that truckload of electronics.
I knew it.
Yeah, but the truck hasn't turned up yet.
Rumor is McManus himself pulled the trigger on the driver's murder.
(GUN FIRES) It fits his vicious M.
O.
Pumped four rounds into a lifeless body when anyone else would have stopped at two.
Like I said, it's just hearsay.
You get closer, you watch yourself.
McManus has been known to sniff out less noble rats before.
He has marshmallow guns, knives and coffins in his bowl of Lucky Charms every morning.
He's magically malicious.
(SIGHS) - Fair warning.
- Fair warning, Tyler.
- Okay, I better get back out there.
- Get him back to his chums.
Oh, Boss, one more thing.
Maybe I should get a shiner or something, for appearance's sake.
(HANDCUFFS LOCKING) Yeah.
You should.
- Ray.
- Yeah.
(YO U DON'T MESS ARO UND WITH JIM PLAYING) (GROANS) You got it.
(TIRES SCREECHING) (SPEAKING HINDI) MAN: Hey.
There aren't any ashtrays in your hall.
Oh, boy.
MAN: Stand up.
If you're picked, go to the right, if you ain't, go to the left.
Skelton.
That an Irish name? - Yeah.
- And you became a cop.
You must have made your mama so proud, huh? (MEN LAUGHING) Okay, homebound, go to the left.
Floppers, go to the right.
You.
Homebound.
Homebound.
Flopper.
Homebound.
Flopper.
Patty.
Who's the scrappy one? (BIG PATRICK WHISPERING) - All right, all right.
Come on.
- Easy there.
(EXCLAIMS) Scrappy, come on with us.
Back off, Scrappy.
Back off, all right? Come on, sit down here and have a drink with me.
You got a name, or do I call you Scrappy? (CLEARS THROAT) - Bono.
- Bono.
Sam Bono.
- Dublin, the accent? - Yeah, Sandycove.
There was a place my pop used to talk about called the 50 Foot.
Said it was a nice swim spot there.
Are you familiar? Uh, I think you mean the 40 Foot.
What was I thinking, what was I thinking? You got a brain on you.
I like that.
I'll tell you what, let me introduce you to some of the boys, huh? And here, these mooks.
(SAM CLEARS THROAT) - We got Patrick.
- Patrick.
- Another Patrick, and Sean.
- Sean.
Patrick.
- And this here is Drunk Petey.
- Jimmy boy! Can I trouble you for a pint? Your sister ain't having it.
She cut me off clean.
That's because you're a serious nelly, Drunk Petey.
Come on, piss off.
I got a business discussion here, okay? - With this muck-savage? - Oh, now.
Yodel yo.
MAN: Come on, Drunk Petey.
Let's go.
You good with anything aside from those elbows? Name it.
- How about your dukes? - Anyone, anyhow, anywhere.
Okay.
What about right now? Patrick.
Patrick? Easy.
No, Big Patrick.
Hey, Patty-Boy.
Bono here says he can crush you, fist to fist.
- Is that right? - Uh-huh.
JIMMY: Go easy on him, okay? - ALL: (CHANTING) Patty! Patty! Patty! - Patty! Patty! Patty! - Patty! Patty! Patty! - MAN: Come on, Patty! ALL: Patty! Patty! Patty! MAN: (LAUGHING) Come on.
Come on.
- ALL: Patty! Patty! Patty! Patty! - Patty! Patty! Patty! Patty! (GROANING) (THUDDING) (SIGHING) (PEOPLE EXCLAIMING) COLLEEN: Wow, Sammy.
In Irish tarot, that's a symbol of possibility.
Cool, right? - Hello! - (EXCLAIMS) Mommy's home.
- ROSE: There's eggs in there.
- Thanks.
Hello, my sweetie.
Colleen, I thought I said no more readings.
You know they only confuse him.
I know, okay.
But he got the Ace of Pentacles.
What does that mean? It means he can make all your dreams come true.
Glad you're here.
You know, I was scared we'd run out of drunken Irish hoodlums today.
- This is my joint.
I'm - Colleen.
Yeah, that's right.
How'd you know? I overheard a couple of the lads going on about a bottle of smoke who works the bar here named Colleen.
Well, pick yourself up, dust yourself off.
You're a good two pints behind the masses.
- You're through playing nursemaid? - Hump off.
JIMMY: Two rules, Bono.
Two rules that keep anarchy and chaos outside of this bar.
One, we're a family, first and foremost.
And don't you forget that.
And two, don't even think about making nicey with my sister.
Yeah.
Yeah, that'll ease the pain.
- Jimmy? - Yes.
- When will I get some work? - Hey, relax the cacks, okay? I do admire your enthusiasm.
No, I'll tell you what.
Go to this address tonight at 7:00, okay? Be on time.
Tell them Jimmy sent you.
And you follow their instructions to the letter.
- Thanks for this, boss.
- JIMMY: Thanks, boss? You say that like I just handed you a glass of water.
All right, listen, listen, listen.
Don't talk CHRIS: Why are you reading the obituaries? The least they could do, you know, print their last words, don't you think? The toughest men I ever seen croak, I'm talking about the diamond-hard bastards, the stone-cold killers, you know what their final words were? "Mommy, mommy!" (JIMMY CHATTERING ON RADIO) - Hey, Ray, you believe in hell? - Yeah.
Sunday dinner at my mother-in-law's with her new friend Gus who has a goiter and an undercooked ham.
- Come on, I'm serious.
- I am, too.
The goiter and the undercooked ham look very similar.
I'm always afraid I'm gonna stick my fork into the wrong pinkish blob.
In hell, you think they got flames everywhere? You want hell, I'll give you hell.
Hell is sitting three hours on a stakeout with a jibber-jaw jackass who's come down with a bad case of What's It All About, Alfie? This is interesting.
Jimmy sent me.
Said I should follow your instructions.
Come on in.
So, you as good with a hammer as you are with your hands? Well, that depends on the job.
Do you know what I mean? - Hanging a mirror? - Yeah.
That brother of mine, he's got some sense of humor.
(CHUCKLES) I'll go get a hammer.
Detective Skywalker? - What are you doing here? - COLLEEN: Hey, Rose, there you are.
Sam, this is Rose Tyler, my new neighbor and friend, and the mother of the most beautiful little boy you've ever seen in your life.
Rose, this is Sam Bono.
Nice to meet you, Sam.
Bono, Sam Bono.
(CHUCKLES) Well, Sam works for Jimmy.
Yeah.
Nice to meet you, Rose.
Any friend of Colleen's here is me old segotia.
(EXCLAIMS) - Your accent - It's driving you wild, huh? Yeah, you and the rest of the lashes.
You know, do you want a drink, Sam? Only if you want to see a grown man overcome with gratitude.
Hmm.
- What is going on? - I'm working a case undercover.
Please don't blow it for me.
- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here? I just moved in next door.
With Vic gone, the rent on the old place was A smaller apartment was all we needed.
And Colleen watches Sammy sometimes when I have to work late.
Here we go.
(CHUCKLES) No, no, no, no, no, no.
I really should get going.
You know, it's going to take me forever to get Sammy to leave.
- I think he has a crush on Colleen.
- I think so, too.
(CHUCKLES) Well, I mean, who wouldn't? You find a pay phone? Yeah.
I spoke to Annie.
This address, - it's where Jimmy's sister lives.
- Who, the bartender? Oh, man.
She is one witchy wildcat.
- You ever seen her? - CHRIS: No.
How come Tyler gets all the plumb undercovers? We get Diamond District rabbis and busboys.
Remember when we had to pose as nursing-home workers? (GROANS) I still got the smell of granny poo on my loafers.
I bet he's up there right now getting in her cognito.
(TOASTING IN GAELIC) Well, I think it's about time I hung the mirror.
- Look who's awake.
- Hey, Sammy.
Hey, sweetheart.
Are you ready to go home? Sammy, this is Sam.
Sam, this is Sammy.
Nice to meet you, kid.
- All right, say good night, Sammy.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Yeah.
- ROSE: Thanks, Coll.
- Sure.
(DOOR CLOSES) Can you believe you were ever that young? No.
Sometimes I think I arrived here fully grown.
(CLEARS THROAT) So, do you still shuffle an Irish tarot deck, do you? I do.
How do you know that? Oh, uh One of Jimmy's boys mentioned it.
They thought it was odd.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Well, you know what, if any one of them had an ounce of the mystic in them, maybe they wouldn't be so all-day angry.
It takes a keen eye to hang a mirror.
Little bit too much to the left, little bit too much to the right and it all gets banjaxed.
Ta-da! Well, clearly Jimmy hired the right man for the job.
Well, I should be off.
(SAM CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) (PEOPLE CHATTERING) Detective Skywalker.
- Or Sam or whoever you are right now.
- I'm I'm sorry about that.
I just wanted to see how you guys are doing.
Oh.
We're fine.
Well, aside from the fact that my son thinks his father's on a very long business trip.
(CHUCKLES) And I don't know when or how to tell him otherwise.
Is Colleen in some kind of trouble? If so, I'd really like to know.
Well, all I can say is that her brother's mixed up in some shady stuff.
So do me a favor.
Stay away from her, okay? - Okay, I'll do that.
- Thank you.
If you'll do something for me.
- Of course.
Anything.
- Will you talk to Sammy? Talk to him? I (SIGHS) - About what? - I'm worried.
He's changed since his father left.
You know, he's angry.
He threw a rock at a neighborhood boy last week.
You were right, Detective, about Vic.
You warned me, and you were right.
Sammy needs a man in his life, a good man, like you.
Just to talk to.
I'm doing everything I can, but - Rose - Will you please just Just talk to him.
Please.
It would mean so much to Sammy and to me.
I'm sorry.
I I'm sorry.
I really want to help you, but I can't do that.
(EXCLAIMS) Okay.
I'm not sure I understand why, but I can't say that I'm surprised.
Since we met, you've been nothing but a puzzle with several lost pieces.
- Oh, Rose.
- Thanks anyway.
- Well, listen.
- Just I still need you to stay away from Jimmy McManus.
Do you understand? You and Sammy both.
SAMMY: Mommy.
I had a bad dream.
He can hardly sleep.
He's afraid of his own dreams.
Good night, Mrs.
Tyler.
ANNIE: Okay, let me get this straight.
- She was your babysitter.
- Yes.
Crazy Jimmy McManus' sister Colleen was your babysitter back in - No, here in 1973.
- That's right.
And I didn't realize it at the time or even later.
In fact, it only just occurred to me when I saw her today.
But she pretty much forged my taste in all the women who came after her.
- Really? - Yeah, well One's formative years being so crucial and all that, you know.
- So does Maya look like her? - No, not at all.
And now here she is.
She's Jimmy McManus' sister, and she's living next door to my mother, - so I can't help but think - (EXCLAIMS) Please don't say it.
- What? - Don't say, "Maybe that's why I'm here.
" Because you keep saying, "Maybe that's why I'm here.
" And every time you say it, I think maybe the reason you're here is to drive me utterly insane.
Okay.
Look, I know this all seems like nonsense to you, the ravings of a lunatic.
I appreciate that.
You know, you've tried to go there with me, you haven't called the men from the funny farm to take me away.
- Not yet.
- You've kept my confidence.
I am so grateful for that.
So I can only promise that if I ever do get back to 2008 or 2009 or whatever the hell it is right now, I will make it up to you.
I'll take you out for sushi at Nobu.
I will fill your iPod with the entire Justin Timberlake catalog.
I will fly you down to the Epcot Center to show you the Spaceship Earth.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Okay.
- Okay.
It's a deal, Sam.
If you ever get back to wherever you're from, you can take me with you and do all those things.
- Okay.
It's a deal.
- It's a deal.
What is sushi? RAY: I think Sam's plan to work the sister has got nothing to do with the case and everything to do with her ass.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING ON RADIO) I can handle the silent treatment, believe you me.
I married the eldest Stovack sister.
Ignoring me for days on end is the favorite weapon in her arsenal.
I ain't gonna crack, junior.
(SIGHS) (COUGHING) All right.
Fine.
On the subject of the afterlife, here is my opinion.
Depending on how we behave here on earth, we either go to heaven or go to hell.
In heaven, it's all dancing girls, ice-cream sundaes, rivers of bourbon, Led Zeppelin music, no one's allowed to wear any clothes, you have to have sex at least 10 times a day and eat pizza when you're not having sex.
- It's like a rule there.
- So, what's hell? Hell is just a great big window you have to sit behind all day long and watch what goes on in heaven.
Yodel yo! Jimmy sleeping one off? No, he don't get up until the corned beef's on the table.
Not that I think you're really here looking for Jimmy.
Am I that transparent? (CHUCKLES) - You drinking? - Always.
(COLLEEN TAPPING BAR) What makes you think I want anything from you? Well, men only talk to women for two reasons.
When they want their house cleaned or their mouse cleaned.
(CHUCKLING) True, I could have you anytime I wanted.
(SCOFFING) - Oh, you think so? - I do.
Why? Because you fancy yourself some tough guy? I mean, do you really think that's appealing to Jimmy McManus' sister? I mean, I grew up around all these hard shells with their fists and their guns and their anger.
Do you think I find that even remotely attractive? Well, I also make lace curtains out of dried pineapple rings.
(LAUGHING) You're getting warmer.
Woo me.
(STAMMERS) Woo you? I need woo.
Not here.
(BOTH MOANING) Maybe we should go to your place.
Sammy and Rosie live right next door.
What if little Sammy hears? His bedroom's right behind this wall.
Trust me.
He won't mind.
Just so you know, I'm not a loose boot.
I was the only girl at St.
Edmund's, St.
Spreadmund's, who didn't lose her virginity until she was 16.
- (CHUCKLING) St.
Spreadmund's.
- Well, what do you know? - What? What is it? - This is the tower card.
- What does that mean? - Well, the tower card means that as long as we remain inert, nothing will change.
No progress will be made until we take action.
- Take action? - Yeah, take action.
No matter how that action might mean the end of everything we deem sacred.
If you could go back in time and talk to yourself as a kid, - would you do it? - Absolutely.
(CHUCKLES) Mostly to warn myself about my ex.
(MOANS) You? - I can't do it.
- Can't? Won't.
I mean, I wouldn't.
Facing yourself that young means you can change anything you want in your life with just a few words.
All the painful memories, all the wrong turns.
Having that power makes you question every choice you've ever made.
Who wants to face that? - What is it? - Nothing.
You're not like any of the thugs in my brother's employ.
- You don't kiss like one either.
- You kissed many of them, have you? You really shouldn't let my brother Jimmy know you have brains to go with those good looks.
Has he mentioned anything about - Well, has he mentioned anything? - About what? About anything, you know.
About me, about what his intentions are.
We don't talk about his business.
I try not to talk about mine.
You've got to be the stupidest idiot ever to walk upright, you know that? Hey, Big Patrick.
Oh, Little Patrick, too.
Where's Medium-Size Patrick? He have the day off? Oh, look who it is.
You got anything you want to tell me? Jimmy.
I got nothing to say to you, you don't already know.
You scuttle my sister.
I take you under my wing, my new protégé? If it was a Patrick or Sean, they'd be meeting my favorite cleaver, I swear to God.
But you, you got style.
You got something dark in your soul, and I like that.
You could only really work for me.
(ALL LAUGHING) Come have a drink.
(SIGHS) (CHUCKLING) Here.
Have a drink.
Let's have a shot or two to welcome you into our little enclave, okay? (TOASTING IN GAELIC) Want to see something? The picture there, with the dog, that's my old man.
Nasty SOB.
He had these shoes that, when he walked, made this horrible sound.
Kind of hard to explain, but like a click.
Clack, clack, click, click.
You always knew he was coming down the hall.
The typical Irish sad story.
Old man comes home drunk, beats the crap out of me, beats the crap out of Colleen.
He was a rough SOB.
- All around.
- Mine, too.
Hmm.
- Well - So what did you do? I went down to the docks where he was working, and he sees me walking up, and he says, "What do you What do you want, boy?" And I said, "Pa, smile.
" And I take a tire iron and I crack his skull two times.
- You killed him? - Oh, God, no.
He's my father.
But he's laying there and blood's all over his face.
And he looks up, and he says to me, "About time, boy.
About time.
" Then I'm walking away, and I hear that same sound, the clack-click-clack thing.
And he's still on the ground.
The sound's coming from my own shoes.
'Cause, eventually, we all become our fathers.
There's no getting around it.
I believe we can change who we are.
No way you'll change.
We're spurned from their loins, so whether we like it or not, we wind up just like them.
(SIGHS) Let's have a drink to you saving your sister.
JIMMY: I love Colleen.
I love Colleen so much that I can't even put it into words.
I love her more than I love my own heart, which is why it hurts me to To my core that she betrayed me.
Jimmy, come on.
Now it wasn't like that.
You know, me and her, we're not I'm not talking about you and she and your fornications, okay? It's got nothing to do with that.
Colleen talked to the cops.
- My own sister.
- How do you know that? Come on, get in.
(GROANING) Jimmy? Come on, man.
This is crazy.
You don't have to do this.
No, I don't, do I? You do.
- What? - We're talking about your future now.
You do the honors.
Take the gun.
You're family now.
Take the gun! She ain't worth it.
There you go.
I can't do it.
Sistercide.
That's a cross I refuse to bear, and I ain't going to hell.
- It doesn't have to be like this.
- What, some passionate chumminess, and all of a sudden you're telling me how it's gonna be? Pray tell, what do you say, sister sweet? Jimmy, I'm no rat.
Please, you gotta believe me.
(SHUSHING) You're a rat.
My own sister, a rat.
What are you standing over there like a delicate flower for? Shoot her.
Come on! Yodel yo, yo! - Shut up, Petey! - She ain't talking to no cops.
I got a gut feeling about it, and my gut feeling's not wrong.
When I tell you to shoot her, you shoot her! I can guarantee she's not talking to any cops.
Guarantee? You can't guarantee anything! - How? - Because I am a cop! - Come again? - He said he's a cop.
I heard what he said, okay? It's a rhetorical question, okay? Shut up, moron.
You're a pig? Yodel yo, yo, yo! Yeah.
I got a badge number and everything, 246.
Jimmy McManus, we want you for murder, extortion, racketeering, armed robbery and for just being a plain old nasty bastard.
(MEN SNICKERING) Against the wall.
Everybody, up against the wall! Move! Against the wall! Let's move! Now! Let's go! This isn't loaded, is it? (ALL LAUGHING) That was great.
- Damn it! - Come on now.
- Nice job, sis.
Nice job.
- COLLEEN: Thank you.
God bless you.
Very nice.
Good.
You're great.
Now it's your turn to get on the knees.
Get on your knees.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Get on your knees! Send this rodent to the rain.
You meet any saints along the way, put a good word in for me, please, okay? We could've been friends.
- Where's the car? - It's out back, Jimmy.
I don't need to see this.
You know, there's two kinds of guys that roam the Kitchen.
There's crooks and there's cops.
And as I said before, you don't kiss like no crook.
Why couldn't you be real? RAY: Police! Get your hands up! Hands up! (COLLEEN GROANS) McManus went out the back! He went out the back! POLICEMAN: Freeze! Drop the gun! (ALL CLAMORING) (GRUNTING) - POLICEMAN: Get up, sweetheart.
- Get her out of here.
Move it.
All right.
Let's go.
Pretty good timing, boss.
The nose knows, huh? The nose has an inside guy to watch your sorry ass.
(GENE WHISTLES) "Yodel yo," means everything's jake.
"Yodel yo, yo," means marshal the troops.
"Yodel yo, yo, yo," means get your angry asses in here.
Sergeant Pete Cochran.
Been under since you been under, except all he needs is whiskey and a wire.
Okay.
I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted, boss.
I'd go for both.
I trust you enough to worry about you, but I worry about you enough not to trust you.
- Good work.
- Yeah.
McManus is in the wind, Lieut.
RAY: Word on the spit is that your brother turned tail and is headed to Celtic town.
- What do you know about that? - I don't know nothing.
You know, the thing about a girl like you, I see you walking down the street, and I may say, "Wow.
That's one sexy chick.
" But knowing what you're really like, on the inside, you're uglier than a photo of a bulldog's hole.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, Bono? You know, I wonder, do your pals here Do they know who you really are? They know you have a dark side, how you beat Big Patrick to a pulp? How you lie and pretend to be someone you're not? Shut up.
He's closer to my brother than he is to you.
I said shut up! I don't know, sugar lips.
He's pretty damn close to me right now.
Wallet.
(GROWLING) (ELECTRIC RAZOR BUZZING) There's a message from Rose Tyler to a Commander Skywalker.
Yeah? She hopes you'll decide to change your mind.
Oh, yeah.
She's Rose wants me to speak to her son.
- Rose Tyler? - Yeah.
The woman you believe to be your mother wants you to talk to yourself? Yeah, she wants me to speak to me.
But I figured if I put it like that, you'd give me one of your epic looks of pity.
Why does she want you to talk to you? Apparently, I've Well, he's Okay, we've been having trouble ever since my Ever since Vic left.
- Are you gonna do it? - I don't think so.
What if, by me talking to me, I say the wrong thing, and that wrong thing brings about some kind of tragic result? Some kind of bad ending.
I mean, this is all I mean, it's pretty fragile, Annie.
What if the simple act of talking to my younger self brings about darkness? You're trying to remember where you put the phone number of the man from the funny farm right now, aren't you? It's in my other coat.
(CHUCKLING SOFTLY) Sam? You do have to ask yourself, if you don't talk to him, who will? Glad you changed your mind, Detective.
Yeah, well, I didn't want just anyone talking to him.
- Sammy's heartbroken about Colleen.
- Yeah, he'll get over it.
Sometimes a fantasy is better than the reality.
Yeah.
Sammy, I have somebody who wants to talk to you.
He's a policeman.
- Come on out now.
- SAMMY: No.
(ROSE SIGHS) You know what? Just give us a minute.
I did the same thing when I was his age.
Okay.
(ALL THE YO UN G DUDES PLAYING) (DOOR CLOSES) She's gone.
You can come out now.
Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25 Speed jive don't want to stay alive When you're 25 And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks And Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars From his face Funky little boat race My name is Detective Skywalker.
You can call me Luke.
Your mom tells me you got into a fight last week.
And the kid you fought with, Jerry Flood, he made fun of you in front of your friends, so you threw a rock at him.
I bet your mom said you were a bad boy, huh? 'Cause, you know, when I was growing up, my mom said I was a bad boy, too, sometimes.
I guess she was always scared I'd turn out like my father.
Was your father bad, Luke? My father went over to the dark side.
But I know there was still good in him.
And I know that you threw that rock because you're upset that your dad is away on a long business trip.
