TYKE: Chamois man.

(Connor tries to get to Tyke, but Angel holds him back.)

ANGEL: No, no, no. Don't.

TYKE: Where's Sunny?

ANGEL: Would that be the dead girl in the bathroom?

(Tyke motions for one of his guys to check the bathroom.)

TYKE: (to Angel) Who are you?

ANGEL: I'm his father.

CONNOR: No, you're not.

ANGEL: Let me handle this? (To Tyke) Let's find a way to work this out. Talk through it. (To Connor) Which is a thing we do here. (To Tyke) There's no need for violence.

(Tyke slugs Angel across the chin with the butt of his gun.)

TYKE: I'm sorry. Did you say 'no need for violence?' You may wanna speak up, you see (points at his bandaged ear and screams) I don't hear so good any more!

GOON: Sunny's dead in the can. O.D.

TYKE: (to Angel) You know, I begged her to get help. Oh, well. One down, one to go.

ANGEL: We can make this right.

TYKE: You can give me a new ear?

ANGEL: Well - maybe you can wear a hat.

TYKE: Maybe I can blow your head off. (To Connor) That's my coat and I want it back. And whatever's not in Sunny's body better be in those pockets.

ANGEL: Son, give him the coat.

CONNOR: You killed her.

GOON: Tyke, cops, man, they're looking for you. They're everywhere.

(...)

ANGEL: Dead body in the river. Another one in the bathroom. This just doesn't bode well for you, does it? (to Connor) Well, you see, son, violence just always ends up bad...

(With that Angel starts to attack the Tyke and the goons, with Connor quickly joining in.)

CONNOR: Hey!

(scuffling)

ANGEL: Connor, we got to get out...

(The trails off as he sees that Tyke is holding Connor like a shield in front of him.)

TYKE: *I* got to get out of here.

ANGEL: Don't. Use me. I'm bigger. I'll make a better shield.

(While Tyke hesitates, the cops start to punch at the door. Tyke spins to shoot. Angel grabs a hold of Connor and pulls him down on the floor with him as bullets begin to fly.)

ANGEL: Out that window! Go! Out the window! Stay down! Stay down!

(A cop barges in, aims a shotgun at the fleeing Connor. Angel puts himself between them, taking the shot full in the back, falling to the ground. Connor pauses at the window looking back in shock)

ANGEL: Go!

(drags himself up, tackles Connor out the window. Cut to a little late, as the two run through the streets, Angel staggering and hunched over)

CONNOR: Do you need to stop?

ANGEL: I'm okay.

(A police car with lights and sirens going turns into their street and Angel pulls Connor between two parked cars.)

ANGEL: Behind here.

(The police car passes and Angel lets out a groan as he tries to straighten up.)

ANGEL: Maybe I do need a second.

CONNOR: What you did...

ANGEL: Are you hurt?

(Connor shakes his head.)

ANGEL: You know, if you want, you can come back to the hotel.

(Connor stares at Angel for a moment then his eyes look every where but at Angel.)

ANGEL: No pressure or anything.

(Connor starts to move past Angel.)

CONNOR: No, uh...

ANGEL: But if you, you know, if you need a place to stay.

CONNOR: I have to go.

ANGEL: You're not alone. You know that, right?

CONNOR: Yeah. I know.

(he runs off. Angel slowly heads off to the Hyperion. Rejoin onnor, running down an alleyway. He slows, stops. A man emerges from the shadows to meet him)

HOLTZ: Hello, son.

CONNOR: Hi, dad.
