The Customer Is Always Right

In a penthouse on the roof of a skyscraper overlooking Basin City, a fancy party is in progress. A woman (Marley Shelton), dressed in a red evening gown, is alone on the balcony. A man (Josh Hartnett), who is narrating, walks up behind her and offers her a cigarette. They exchange some small talk; he tells her that he sees in her eyes the "crazy calm" of someone who is tired of running, but doesn't want to face her problems alone. He tells her that he will save her, and take her far away.

They kiss, he says he loves her, and then he shoots her. She dies in his arms. He says that he'll never know what she was running from, but will "cash her check in the morning."

That Yellow Bastard (Part 1)

On the docks of Sin City, aging police officer John Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is attempting to stop serial paedocidist Roark Junior (Nick Stahl) from raping and killing eleven-year-old Nancy Callahan (Makenzie Vega). Junior is the son of the powerful Senator Roark (Powers Boothe), who has paid off the Basin City police to cover up his son's crimes, including Hartigan's partner Bob (Michael Madsen). Bob tries to convince Hartigan to walk away, and appears to succeed, but Hartigan sucker-punches him, knocking him out cold. Hartigan then makes his way into a warehouse, knocking unconscious two local criminals. Junior is inside with the frightened Nancy and two armed henchmen, who are making sure that Junior and Nancy "get along" before leaving them alone.

Hartigan shoots and kills the henchmen, but Junior shoots Hartigan in the shoulder, grabs Nancy and runs out to the docks. Hartigan catches up to Junior and shoots off his ear, causing him to drop Nancy. Hartigan then asks Nancy to shut her eyes, he then shoots off Junior's hand and genitals, before being shot in the back several times by Bob, who has recovered. Hartigan tells little Nancy to run away, but Bob warns the already scared and shocked Nancy to not listen to Hartigan and not to run and stay where she is.

Then Bob tells Hartigan to stay down, but Hartigan pulls his reserve gun, provoking Bob to shoot him several more times. As the sirens approach, little Nancy goes over and lies down in Hartigan's lap for protection, while Hartigan who has lost lot of blood and can hardly keep conscious, passes out knowing that Nancy is safe, justifying himself with the words "An old man dies, a little girl lives. Fair trade."
