00:03:01And, uh, what was her name?
00:03:03Her name was the Queen of Diamonds, but, uh, she didn't show.
00:03:09Hey, hey.

00:03:16You thinking of leaving the docks and becoming a driver?
00:03:19I'm gonna leave the docks all right, but I ain't gonna be no limo driver.
00:03:26One day I'm gonna be a very rich man.
00:03:30You've been saying that since New Orleans, man.
00:03:35I hope your dreams come true, Nicky.

00:09:26do it
00:09:30do it
00:09:35I'm going to breathe this time.
00:09:59That's Puccini.
00:10:01My grandfather loved Puccini.
00:10:03He was my mother's father.
00:10:05Pretty Tommy O'Brien.
00:10:07He got the name because he looked like an Irish.
00:10:09Would you believe it?
00:10:10But he wasn't.
00:10:11He was Italian through and through.
00:10:12The family came from northern Italy.
00:10:14But he didn't look at it.
00:10:15You know, he had this sandy, sandy blonde hair.
00:10:18These intense green eyes.
00:10:20Pretty Tommy O'Brien.
00:10:21He got the nickname because he was a good-looking son of a gun.
00:10:24He really was.
00:10:25He dressed to the nines, you know.
00:10:28Except he was a tiny little guy with a vicious temper.
00:10:32Yeah, you never wanted to cross pretty Tommy O'Brien, you know.
00:10:36He was mean.
00:10:37He had a mean side to him, you know.
00:10:39Not only would he whack you out, but he cut your head off with this machete.
00:10:43You know, he used to be this private machete of his.
00:10:45And if you stole from him, you knocked down on him, he wouldn't even give you the decency
00:10:50of killing you.
00:10:51He'd cut your head off while you're still alive.
00:10:54There was a guy in the neighborhood who used to knock down on him, right?
00:10:56He knew about it for quite a while.
00:10:58So this goomba's joking on him, right?
00:11:00And he's waiting.
00:11:00He's waiting.
00:11:01And one night, he invites him over for dinner, you see.
00:11:03A couple of lieutenants grab the guy.
00:11:05True story.
00:11:05Drag him down in the basement.
00:11:07They hold him down on the floor.
00:11:08And Tommy O'Brien looks right in the guy's face.
00:11:11And he tells him, laughing right in his face.
00:11:13Stealing from me ain't nothing to lose your head over.
00:11:16And proceeds to decapitate the guy right there in the basement.
00:11:19The guy was screaming for his mother.
00:11:21There was blood every place.
00:11:23That was my grandfather.
00:11:25God, he was brutal.
00:11:27But very effective.
00:11:31You got five minutes of my time.
00:11:34That's all I need.
00:11:38I thought you guys went to the fight game.
00:11:45Since when did you stop playing with guns?
00:11:47You can have as many as you want.
00:11:48M-16, Stinger missiles, you name it.
00:11:54Why are you coming to me with this stuff?
00:11:55I got plenty of weapons.
00:11:57This little war that's burning between you and the Iron Tigers.
00:12:01We just want to be on this side that wins.
00:12:03Maybe one day we need your help.
00:12:06Maybe we can help you right now.
00:12:08Well, how wild are you?
00:12:11And what does that help going to work?
00:12:14It's going to cost me, huh?
00:12:15Not much.
00:12:17You buy the hardware from us,
00:12:19and we get 25% of your duration.
00:12:20No, this land is a little strange.
00:12:46But I don't think we're that crazy.
00:12:50Why would I do something like that?
00:12:52Because it's going to put you over the top.
00:12:54Unless a try is going to get in first.
00:12:57Think about it, Jimmy.
00:13:00And keep the gun.
00:13:02All time's safe.
00:13:03Frank.
00:13:22Yeah, boss.
00:13:25Follow that muscle bound.
00:13:26I don't know the tip.
00:13:27Find out where they're snatching these things.
00:13:33And whack both my heads off.
00:13:42I think Jimmy's coming here to bang out of this.
00:13:44Don't you?
00:13:46Just like the 4th of July.
00:13:48Oh, my God.

00:31:16They sent me over here, Dr. Newman.
00:31:18That's all I need.
00:31:20My workload added on, too, by Peter Newman.
00:31:33What did he tell you I would do for you?
00:31:35Well, he didn't actually say.
00:31:36This is not a lost and found bureau.
00:31:38And if Dr. Newman told you that, he's wrong.
00:31:42Good day, Ms. Richardson.
00:31:44Hold it.
00:31:45I'm sorry.
00:31:46Have a seat.
00:31:49Maybe I could help you, or at least I'm going to try.
00:31:58Well, he's not in here.
00:32:00If he died or if somebody found his body, it'd be in my computer.
00:32:03What about your friend L.A. in the first place?
00:32:08We came here together.
00:32:09Worked at Doc's for a while.
00:32:11And when that ended, I split.
00:32:14And he stayed.
00:32:16What do you do?
00:32:17Long short.
00:32:19Nick's a kickboxer, though.
00:32:20He said he was going to fight for some promoter by the name of Landis or something.
00:32:23Paul Landis?
00:32:24No first name.
00:32:25It's just Landis.
00:32:25That's all I know.
00:32:27Whoa.
00:32:28It's something I should know.
00:32:30Paul Landis is a pretty heavy name.
00:32:32If your friend's mixed up with him, he's in a lot more trouble than you think.
00:32:36Well, what do you mean?
00:32:38Landis is a gangster, not the kind of guy anyone with half a brain would work for.
00:32:42Well, Nick wouldn't work for anybody like that.
00:32:45You'd be surprised what people would do for money.
00:32:48Not Nick.
00:32:49He's not like that.
00:32:52He's telling you what I know.
00:32:53Well, could you get me some more information on this Landis guy?
00:32:56I've got to find Nick.
00:32:58If Nick's in trouble, I've got to help him.
00:33:01Well, I can get in trouble with this.
00:33:04But okay.
00:33:05Meet me across the street in the park in an hour.
00:33:09Look, here's the deal.
00:33:11Well, I'll help you find your friend if you help me get a story out of this.
00:33:15A story?
00:33:16On Landis.
00:33:17An expose on him can get me out of the obituary department and into the newsroom.
00:33:22Well?
00:33:23Why not?
00:33:23You got a deal.
00:33:24Just remember, I call the shots.
00:33:28Yes, ma'am.
00:33:29Whatever you say.
00:33:31For now.
00:33:32Is she giving you trouble?
00:33:34Who's your friend?
00:33:36Tommy, this is that reporter I told you about, Danielle Richardson.
00:33:39She don't look like no reporter to me.
00:33:42Is she your sister?
00:33:43You must be a reporter.
00:33:45You're pretty nosy.
00:33:47Where'd you find her?
00:33:49She's okay.
00:33:49Okay.
00:33:49I just talked to one of the flight managers.
00:34:14You said your friend fought here last week.
00:34:16No one's seen him since.
00:34:19Anything else?
00:34:20That's it.
00:34:20Yes.
00:34:42That's Landis right there.
00:35:12Hey!
00:35:42Hey!
00:36:12Hey!
00:36:42Hey!
00:37:12I've seen enough that's been out of here.
00:37:42Good!
00:37:46Good!
00:37:49So who was the big guy?
00:37:58Mark Vanick.
00:38:00He works for Landis.
00:38:02Looks like a real psycho.
00:38:04Sort of puts you two in the same boat, doesn't it?
00:38:06I mean, that is what you do.
00:38:08Hurt people for money?
00:38:10First of all, I never fought for the money.
00:38:12I fought for the competition.
00:38:14Second of all, I'm not into that anymore.
00:38:16Sort of grew out of it.
00:38:18And, yeah, Nick fights for money,
00:38:20but he's never permanently damaged anybody,
00:38:22at least not on purpose.
00:38:24Now what do you say we get started?
00:38:26So, uh, what are we doing here?
00:38:38Getting you an audition.
00:38:40What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:42I've done a little research on you, Mr. Larson.
00:38:44Once a champion kickboxer.
00:38:46Only one way to get Paul Landis interested in you,
00:38:48and that's to fight in one of his matches.
00:38:50I told you, I'm not into that.
00:38:52I don't fight in competition anymore.
00:38:54You wanna find your friend?
00:38:56You know I do.
00:38:58Okay, look.
00:38:59I may be new at this,
00:39:00but at least we're making progress.
00:39:02You haven't been able to find him your way,
00:39:04so why don't we try at mine?
00:39:06Your way could get me hurt.
00:39:08Hurt?
00:39:09It could get you killed.
00:39:10But I bet you find your friend.
00:39:12Excuse me.
00:39:13Do you have a light?
00:39:14Get lost, sister.
00:39:16He's with me.
00:39:19Now what'd you go and do that for?
00:39:21I was just getting to know her.
00:39:23You see that man over there?
00:39:26His name's Big Man.
00:39:27He's a flight manager.
00:39:28Wait here a minute.
00:39:30Oh, by the way,
00:39:31try not to catch anything while I'm gone.
00:39:36Hey, man, can I get a beer for you?
00:39:41Well,
00:39:42Aren't you just gorgeous?
00:39:45So, uh,
00:39:46what's a beautiful lady like you doing in here?
00:39:48You, uh,
00:39:49you buying?
00:39:50Selling her?
00:39:53You Big Man?
00:39:55I'm Lionel P. Big Man, yeah.
00:39:57You can call me Big Man.
00:39:58Who's asking?
00:39:59What do you want?
00:40:00I'm here to do you a favor.
00:40:01Do I get to pick the position?
00:40:05Biggie, you're so funny.
00:40:08You see that guy over there at the bar?
00:40:10Yeah.
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12Well, he's the best fighter I've ever seen.
00:40:14And he's looking to make some money.
00:40:16Him?
00:40:17Mm-hmm.
00:40:20Come on, don't toy with me.
00:40:21I got all the fighters I want, you know?
00:40:23They're all winners.
00:40:24Look at your guy.
00:40:25He's unproven.
00:40:26Yeah, well, but...
00:40:27Hey, listen.
00:40:28What I do like about him.
00:40:29What's that?
00:40:30His girlfriend.
00:40:34Make a little deal with you.
00:40:35Here's what I'll do.
00:40:36You, uh...
00:40:38You take a little ride on the Big Man Express,
00:40:40and I'll talk to you about your boyfriend, huh?
00:40:42Is that your best offer?
00:40:43It's my only offer.
00:40:44And it's a real good one, too.
00:40:46Because, uh...
00:40:47I'd last a lot longer with you than he would with my boys, huh?
00:40:51Oh, yeah, Mr. Big Man?
00:40:53You can call me Biggie.
00:40:56I'd rather eat glass.
00:41:01Your manager over there tells me you guys claim to be fighters.
00:41:04I did?
00:41:05Well...
00:41:06I've got a hundred bucks that says the guy over there at the bar
00:41:09can kick all your asses.

00:48:54There's a chess player and a checker player.
00:48:55A chess player will take two hits, he'll give one.
00:48:58A checker player will never take any and give the four, five, and six.
00:49:00What are you?
00:49:01Chess player.
00:49:02Okay, come on, let's work it.

00:49:12Ball kick right cross, left toe.
00:49:13Understand what a warrior is all about.
00:49:19You've got to focus.
00:49:24You've got to control those emotions under pressure.
00:49:28It's not how hard you hit, it's how right you hit.
00:49:31Knowledge is power.
00:49:37Use the power of knowledge and experience.
00:49:39You have plenty of it.
00:49:40Skip, ball kick, spin, roll kick.
00:49:44Here we go.
00:49:45Jab.

00:50:22It's home.
00:50:24I went away for a while, though, you know?
00:50:26College, a little travel.
00:50:29But I came back.
00:50:32College, huh?
00:50:33I've been thinking about going back to school myself.
00:50:36Maybe someday.
00:50:38Your folks?
00:50:40My mom died about 10 years ago, and my dad lives on a ranch outside Solvang.
00:50:45But we're very close, you know.
00:50:47He's all the family I have.
00:50:50An only child I should have guessed.
00:50:52Is that where the attitude comes from?
00:50:54Hey, look, Buster.
00:50:55On the streets of L.A., you need an attitude, or you'll be eaten alive.
00:51:00I guess you got a point there.
00:51:04You really don't like fighting, do you?
00:51:06You don't like fighting, do you want to be eaten alive?
00:51:07No, not anymore.
00:51:09No, not anymore.
00:51:12How come?
00:51:17Three years ago, I had my last fight.
00:51:19I won the championship of the world.
00:51:25My opponent died in the ring.
00:51:29John, you knew the rest.
00:51:32Yeah, I know.

00:56:03Rich.
00:56:05I hope there's enough in that deal for me.
00:56:09Excuse us for interrupting.
00:56:11My name is Paul Landis and this is my partner Mark Vanek.
00:56:14We're fight promoters.
00:56:16Yeah, I've heard of you guys.
00:56:18Really?
00:56:19All good, I hope.
00:56:20From another fighter, actually.
00:56:22Nick Wallace?
00:56:23Wallace.
00:56:24Wallace.
00:56:25Wallace.
00:56:26Does that name ring a bell?
00:56:28Wallace.
00:56:29No, I'm sorry, but then I work with so many different fighters.
00:56:33Where are you from?
00:56:34Just got into town from up north.
00:56:36I see.
00:56:37And who is this lovely young lady?
00:56:40Danielle Richardson.
00:56:41My pleasure.
00:56:43I'm having a little party at my place tomorrow afternoon.
00:56:47I'd like you and your young friend here to be my guest.
00:56:50I think you'll find it very profitable.
00:56:53Well, I'd have to run it by my manager.
00:56:56Oh, by all means.
00:56:59Bring your funny little friend along.
00:57:01Enjoy yourself.
00:57:03Oh, I'll have my chauffeur pick you up, say, one o'clock.
00:57:10One will be fine.
00:57:15Little friend, huh?
00:57:28I told you to stay away from him.
00:57:30What, do you want to end up dead?
00:57:32Calm down.
00:57:33Nobody's gonna die.
00:57:35What harm can come from one party?
00:57:37Don't be fooled by him.
00:57:38He can trap you like a spider traps a fly.
00:57:41I've seen him do it.
00:57:45You know, where I'm from, there's an old story.
00:57:48The emperor once gave our entire province to a great warlord named Chow Lee.
00:57:53At first, Chow Lee was very honorable and loyal.
00:57:56And this gained him much favor with the emperor, who in turn gave him his prized horse.
00:58:01Then, Chow Lee began to steal tax monies through the emperor.
00:58:05The emperor had him punished for his greed and disloyalty.
00:58:08He had him dragged through the entire province on the very horse he had given him.
00:58:12So you see, Mr. Landis, when it comes to greed and loyalty, they're mortal enemies.
00:58:21What an interesting story.
00:58:34Ah, yes. Fine European craftsmanship.
00:58:37Rolex, Mercedes, Mac-10, the best.
00:58:40No, Rolex is Swiss.
00:58:43Ah, they're all the same. Doesn't matter.
00:58:47How much?
00:58:48Think rates of Mac-10s, $500,000.
00:58:50You want to ship outside the US, that'll be extra.
00:58:56$250,000 now. $250,000 on delivery.
00:58:58We split the cost of shipping.
00:59:00I supply the ship, you supply the crew.
00:59:03Deal?
00:59:06Deal.
00:59:07Very good, gentlemen.
00:59:10We have an agreement.
00:59:37Here comes the majesty.
00:59:40John!
00:59:42Glad you could make it.
00:59:43Aahh.
00:59:44Here comes his majesty.
01:00:01John, glad you could make it.
01:00:05Ah, Miss Richardson, the lovely Miss Richardson.
01:00:10Why, Mr. Landis, are you always this charming with all your guests?
01:00:13Only the beautiful ones.
01:00:14I'd rather think of wearing a crystal.
01:00:17I don't know much about them.
01:00:19They do empower you.
01:00:21They could change your life.
01:00:25Mark, you remember John.
01:00:29I remember you.
01:00:33If you would excuse me, I'd have to take care of some of my guests.
01:00:37Well, what do you think of our little party?
01:00:39Yeah, it's great. Nice place.
01:00:42Could you do me a favor and entertain Miss Richardson?
01:00:45Well, John and I talk a little business.
01:00:47Yes, sir.
01:00:57Can I get you a drink, John?
01:00:58No thanks.
01:00:59Sit.
01:01:00Ah.
01:01:01My computers.
01:01:02They are my eyes and ears.
01:01:03You see, I have international business interests.
01:01:04And computers give me a small edge on the competition.
01:01:06Once in a while, a slight edge is all you need.
01:01:10I'm sorry.
01:01:11I didn't know that was valuable.
01:01:13You have to be very careful with crystals.
01:01:14You have to be very careful with crystals.
01:01:19This one happens to be related to my personal aura.
01:01:20I have someone who's hoping that they could drain off my energies.
01:01:22You have to be very careful with crystals.
01:01:24I have someone who's hoping that they could drain off my energies.
01:01:25Like my computers, they give me a slight edge on my competition.
01:01:27Crystals?
01:01:28Auras?
01:01:29You hardly seen the type.
01:01:30If it wasn't for this crystal, I wouldn't be as powerful as you.
01:01:31I'm sorry.
01:01:32I didn't know that was valuable.
01:01:34You have to be very careful with crystals.
01:01:36This one happens to be related to my personal aura.
01:01:41And someone is hoping that they could drain off my energies.
01:01:47Like my computers, they give me a slight edge on my competition.
01:01:52Crystals?
01:01:53Auras?
01:01:54You hardly seen the type.
01:01:55If it wasn't for this crystal, I wouldn't be as powerful as you.
01:01:58So I wouldn't be as powerful as I am.
01:02:00I'm sorry.
01:02:01I didn't mean any disrespect by that.
01:02:03Well, I'll come right to the point, John.
01:02:06I'd like you to fight for me.
01:02:08I've already got a manager.
01:02:10I can guarantee you'll make more money with me than you could ever imagine.
01:02:13Enough to keep you and your young lady comfortable for a long time.
01:02:17Well, I'd have to think about it.
01:02:20Take your time.
01:02:23You know where to find me.
01:02:25But in the meantime, enjoy yourself.
01:02:29I've always wanted to know.
01:02:30Tell me.
01:02:31I'm not alone.
01:02:32I'm not alone.
01:02:33Without you, what shall I do?
01:02:35Out of the picture.
01:02:36Out of the brain.
01:02:41And now when you see me.
01:02:46Nothing's the same.
01:02:48Nothing's the same.
01:02:51You're the darkest thing.
01:02:54Somebody knew.
01:02:57I'm out of the picture.
01:03:00Out of the view.
01:03:04I'll be right back.
01:03:05I think I'm going to be sick.
01:03:07I think I'm going to be sick.
01:03:18What happened to your clothes?
01:03:22Don't be out of sight.
01:03:32Unbelievable.
01:03:34The shower is that way.
01:03:37Thanks.
01:03:42Are you all right, man?
01:03:44Yeah, I'll survive.
01:03:46I think.
01:03:48I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:18I think I'm going to be sick.
01:04:48I think I'm going to be sick.
01:05:48You can't still be on offer.
01:06:08You're an idiot.
01:06:11It's not supposed to be a man who signed with Landis and Bannock.
01:06:14You know, you're dumber than a housefly with a metal plate in his head.
01:06:17You know that?
01:06:18Now, is that any way to talk to the man that's going to make you rich?
01:06:21Listen to me.
01:06:22Landis is going to use you.
01:06:24And when he's done, he's going to put you in one of those death matches.
01:06:27What do you mean, death match?
01:06:28You know what I mean.
01:06:29Two guys get in the ring and they fight it out until somebody's dead.
01:06:32Landis and his rich buddies bet on that stuff.
01:06:34I don't believe that.
01:06:36Oh, yeah?
01:06:37Well, you're going to end up just like the other guy.
01:06:40What other guy?
01:06:41He was a fighter for Landis.
01:06:43He didn't do what Landis wanted him to.
01:06:45Suddenly, he's gone.
01:06:46Nobody's seen him since, you know?
01:06:48Did you get his name?
01:06:50Something, uh, Wallace.
01:06:52Nick Wallace?
01:06:54I don't know.
01:06:55I don't care.
01:06:56Is he dead?
01:07:00Could be.
01:07:01Who knows?
01:07:02Really, who cares, you know?
01:07:16You sure?
01:07:19Yeah.
01:07:21I guess I'm too late.
01:07:22We should go to the police.
01:07:24Tell them what?
01:07:26There isn't even a body.
01:07:27Maybe he's not dead.
01:07:31I don't know.
01:07:34I need something.
01:07:36Evidence.
01:07:42I should have my head examined for going along with a plan like this.
01:07:45You're going to get yourself killed.
01:07:46No, I won't.
01:07:47You just make sure you're here when I get back.
01:07:48I've got to get in this computer room.
01:07:50What do you expect to find in there?
01:07:52I don't know.
01:07:53Anything to bring those bastards down.
01:07:54I've got to go.
01:07:56I'll be back.
01:08:04Be careful.
01:08:04Thanks.
01:08:05Thanks.
01:08:18Thanks.
01:08:19Let's go.
01:08:49Let's go.
01:09:19Let's go.
01:09:38Let's go.
01:10:08Let's go.
01:10:38Let's go.
01:11:08Let's go.
01:11:09Let's go.
01:11:10Let's go.
01:11:12Let's go.
01:11:14Let's go.
01:11:20Let's go.
01:11:21Let's go.
01:11:22Let's go.
01:11:23Let's go.
01:11:24Let's go.
01:11:25Let's go.
01:11:26Let's go.
01:11:28Let's go.
01:11:34Let's go.
01:11:36Let's go.
01:11:38Let's go.
01:11:39Let's go.
01:11:44Let's go.
01:11:46Let's go.
01:11:48Let's go.
01:11:49Let's go.
01:11:54Let's go.
01:11:55Let's go.
01:11:56Let's go.
01:11:57Let's go.
01:12:02Let's go.
01:12:04Let's go.
01:12:05Let's go.
01:12:06Someone broke into the study.
01:12:36Why? Why?
01:12:51So what did he get?
01:12:54Enough.
01:13:01Tell me why.
01:13:05Just give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now.
01:13:17Get out of here.
01:13:25Why don't we see what we got here?
01:13:35Why don't we see what we got here?
01:13:38Why don't we see what we got here?
01:13:40Why don't we see what we're supposed to get here?
01:13:41Why don't we see what we got here?
01:13:42Why don't we see what we got here?
01:13:44Wow.
01:13:45Ah, a rat in the kitchen.
01:14:06Fine.
01:14:10What are we going to do?
01:14:12We've got to take these files to the police.
01:14:14I wouldn't trust the police.
01:14:16Landis has had his hands on a lot of people's bodies.
01:14:19Then let me take him to my editor.
01:14:21If it hits the scans, the police have got to listen to us.
01:14:24Yeah, that's true.
01:14:25Hey, this could be the big story you've been looking for.
01:14:27Just forget about the story right now.
01:14:29Right now we've got more important things to think about.
01:14:40Go ahead.
01:14:41If you and your friends want to look like Swiss cheese...
01:14:44You know, I'm really disappointed in you, John.
01:15:05Very disappointed.
01:15:06I gave you the chance to be a rich man, and what do you do?
01:15:10What did he do?
01:15:12He ripped us off.
01:15:12He ripped us off.
01:15:16I'll give you one minute to tell us who you are, who you work for, and where the files are.
01:15:22I said home.
01:15:27Poison, huh?
01:15:28The cops.
01:15:29Home.
01:15:30Mark.
01:15:30Mark.
01:15:31Mark.
01:15:31Mark.
01:15:32Mark.
01:15:32You think he's losing it.
01:15:43You're probably right.
01:15:45But you see, he gets real pissed off when someone breaks into my house and steals.
01:15:51So let's try it again.
01:15:54Who sent you?
01:15:55Who sent you?
01:15:59Nobody sent me, man.
01:16:01I'm here to find my friend.
01:16:03Nick Wallace, that fighter I told you about.
01:16:06Wallace.
01:16:07Wallace.
01:16:08You're lying.
01:16:09No, man.
01:16:09It's true.
01:16:10I don't want nothing from you.
01:16:15Wallace is somewhere on this ship.
01:16:16He's lucky I haven't even killed him.
01:16:18Maybe now I will.
01:16:20Let me get this straight.
01:16:21You're not with Interpol, you're not with the police, or that guy Han.
01:16:25You've been trying to take me down because of a friend?
01:16:28Look, man.
01:16:29Let the girls go, and I'll give you your files.
01:16:33No.
01:16:35I'm going to kill them all.
01:16:37Except for the girl.
01:16:37I'm going to keep her around for a couple of days.
01:16:40As far as my files.
01:16:42You can have them.
01:16:44Bastard, I'll kill you, man!
01:16:46Actually, we're going to kill you.
01:16:49Mark.
01:16:51dich.
01:17:01Oh, you better.
01:17:08Ugh.
01:17:11Ugh!
01:17:15Oh, you better.
01:17:18Oh, God.
01:17:19Oh, God.
01:17:20Come on.
01:17:50Where are the girls?
01:17:59What girls?
01:18:01That's not what I want to hear.
01:18:09John!
01:18:14We've got to get out of this place.
01:18:17I wondered when you disappeared, killer.
01:18:19Don't even think about it.
01:18:21You'd be dead.
01:18:23Just let the girls go.
01:18:26Not till after the show.
01:18:37You want to play?
01:18:38Let's play.
01:18:39Let's play.
01:18:48Ah!
01:18:52Ah!
01:19:18Oh, my God.
01:19:48You all right?
01:20:03Yes, we're fine. Just get Landis.
01:20:05I'll get Landis, but we've got to get Nick.
01:20:08Go, go.
01:20:16Nick.
01:20:16Nick.
01:20:17Oh, man.
01:20:18Can you move?
01:20:21Are you all right?
01:20:23I've been better.
01:20:25You think you can walk?
01:20:26I can try.
01:20:28Hey, it took you so long.
01:20:31Traffic was a bitch, man.
01:20:34That's it. We've got to get out of here.
01:20:36Get Nick off the boat.
01:20:37I'm going after Landis.
01:20:39Take this. You might need it.
01:20:40Come on.
01:20:44Come on.
01:20:44We've got to get you out of here.
01:20:45Come on.
01:20:46We've got to get going.
01:20:48Let's go.
01:21:18Let's go.
01:21:48Let's go.
01:22:18Let's go.
01:22:48Let's go.
01:23:17Let's go.
01:23:47Let's go.
01:24:17Let's go.
01:24:47Let's go.
01:25:17Let's go.
01:25:25Thanks, bro.
01:25:27Saved my life.
01:25:28One more time.
01:25:29What choice did I have?
01:25:31You still owe me 20 bucks.
01:25:32So what's next, cowboy?
01:25:40Well, a shower would be nice.
01:25:41Well, a shower would be nice.
01:25:43Tommy, I think you could find us.
01:25:45Tommy, I think you could find us a cheeseburger.
01:25:49It's okay.
01:25:54Yeah.
01:25:56I'm going to go.
01:25:58Okay.
01:25:59You can go.
01:25:59I'm going to go.
01:26:00I'm going to go.
01:26:01I'm going to go.
01:26:01I'm going to go.
