Man, let me tell you.

Grow up where I did...

friends is your whole world.

Me and Jake,
we're two sides of the same coin.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Okay, wait! Hold on, hold on.

What the fuck!

[man] On these streets,

And if the guy next to you
wants to take you straight to hell...

[siren wailing]

Yeah.

- What?
- That was a little cowboy in there.

It was a clean bust, Lorna.

What's going on with you, Sonny?
You're not yourself lately.

If something was going on, you would know.

Something's going on.

You remember me, Winston?

Yeah.

You should. It's about the fourth time
I've busted your ass.

You got about two-to-four coming.

I got ten coming for shooting at a cop.

You shot in the air.

How else could you miss
that fucking close?

So, come on.

Look at me.

I've been where you've been.

Anybody could change.

Even you.

You hear me?

All right.

Yeah, we're just waiting on it now.
Yeah. Okay.

-[car engine starts]
-[phone: ringtone]

- Hey, Meg.
- Hey.

Do I need to remind you about tomorrow?

No, I'm not gonna forget
Darcy's recital again.

She's getting to this place where I feel
like the influence you have over her

would help a lot.

[Sonny] I'm not gonna let her down.

Just tell her I'll be there.

We good?

Yeah.

Sure, we are.

- Kelly?
- Hey.

Blaine.

Where is he?

Kelly, where is he?

What a surprise.

- In the mood, Sonny?
- Come on down, Blaine.

Let me talk to you a second.

I know you wanna search my house.
You won't find nothing. You never have.

Mmm.

No, Blaine, I ain't here to search shit.

What you doing here?

You feel good hitting girls, Blaine?

- That's property.
- Mmm.

Sometimes a man
gotta make property behave.

Now you my property. You like that?

You ain't nothing but a ho out here.
We know what's up.

-[phone clicks]
- Put that shit aside, cop.

Y'all see this? You see this?

I'm making money as we speak
'cause that's my lawyer.

Let's see who's who and what's what
like we did back in the day.

Detective. Detective!

Come on. Ah!

[Lorna] Stop it.

Come on. No.

I told you, when they started

that gon' be your downfall.

Claire, you can't hate me forever.

True. You'll be dead one day.

-[scoffs]
- Good to see you, Claire.

- She loves you. For real.
- I love her too.

[Sonny] Welcome home, Jake.

Hey, you mad my brothers came

No. I thought we past payback though.

Hey, you and Megan done?

Mmm, separated.

- Separated?
- Yeah.

I screwed that up big-time.

Megan's little sister Darcy
part of that mix?

Darcy's a good kid.
We took her in after Meg's parents passed.

And it worked, the three of us,
for a minute.

- That's all on me.
- I respect that, man.

I do. I get it. I'm not judging you.

You don't really know what a relationship
is like until you're in one. Am I right?

I had a couple guys washing my drawers.

- They pulled out.
-[Sonny chuckles]

- You crazy, boy.
-[chuckles]

You tell your mama, boy?
[shouts] Hey, Claire!

Stop playing, man.
You're gonna get us killed.

Where the rest of them boys at?

- Waitin' on their brother, man.
- Okay.

I see age don't favor everybody.

[chuckles] Fuck you, man.
How's the fresh air?

[inhales] Tainted, now I see y'all two.

Hey, man, you--

- You lookin' good. You look cut.
- Twenty-three on one, baby.

Countin' push-ups. I ain't countin' days.

Plus some aerobics-type shit.

Nobody do aerobics no more, man.

Yeah, they spin. Spinnin's in. I spin.

Yeah, you look like it too.

- Spinnin', baby.
- Yeah, great to see you though, my nigga.

Hold up, dawg.

You ain't seen me in 15 years.
How am I your nigga though?

Seeing you would've been
too painful, dawg.

Sonny saw me.
I didn't even wanna see his ass.

- He's a cop.
- Yeah, but that's not fair.

Sonny always doing shit
that don't nobody else do.

-[Jake] Shut the fuck up.
- You right, man.

- We should've came to see you.
-[Sonny] Enough.

That's not why we here.

Y'all follow me.

Hey, man.

It's all there. Not a penny touched.

This motherfucker made sure of it.

Mmm. Don't look like three mil.

My share ain't there yet.

I couldn't tell you while you were inside.

- He's smart for a cop, huh?
- Yeah.

Officer Genius right here hid it
in his house while they was renovating.

Megan didn't even know it was in there.

Look, Jake, trust this is hard enough
saving all this shit for you, bro.

- We got kids, bills, all type of shit.
- You want me to get you a tissue?

Jake did the time. He get to choose.

Everybody did the job.

Y'all want your piece, you can take it.

Hold up.

You sure about that?

Yeah, man. Go ahead.

[scoffs, mutters]
Fuck that. I'm gettin' my bread.

My brothers were gonna skin you alive
for what happened.

I told them not to.

-'Cause we homies?
- Nah.

It's not 'cause we're homies.

'Cause if they did,
I wouldn't know where you put the money.

I'm just fucking with you, Joe.

-[exhales] Yo, man!
-[laughing]

- That shit ain't funny.
- Fuckin' man.

- Get your spin on, man.
- Nah, man! Get the fuck outta here!

The fuck outta here.

Hey, y'all, give us two seconds, bro.

What's up, man?

Keep my share. Let me get it
in about a week or so when Meg's gone.

Hey, everybody did the job.
Everybody gets a cut, man.

- I want you to keep mine, Jake.
- Why? Because you're a cop?

No.

I owe you.

That's why. I owe you.

If that's what you want, man.

That's what I want.

- Y'all finished?
- Yeah, we all done here.

Y'all spend that like a gentleman now.

- Hey.
- In a gentleman's club?

All right. I'm-a holler at y'all.

- Later.
- All right, man.

Man, I ain't had a beer like this
in 15 years.

Mmm. I miss beer.

- But you know what I miss more?
- What's that?

I miss me some big ol' fat titties.

Brown titties, black titties.

Pink titties, Asian titties.

Any titties. Wrinkled titties.
Titties with no nipple titties.

You always take it too far, bro.

I also miss that Kmart.

How you miss Kmart?
Kmart ain't even there.

- It's been closed for years.
- Where you get the guns at?

-[clicks tongue] Right here.
- Oh, shit.

[laughing]

- I want a firecracker like that!
- Stay strapped.

- Hey, man, what you doing in the morning?
- Darcy got a recital.

- A recital?
- Yeah.

I'll come along.

Come along,
see if Darcy takes to a bad boy.

She's 17. [laughs]

Gon' take your head off, boy.

You can come though.

She sing, play the piano.

I appreciate everything
you've been doing, man.

You know? Making things right.

Go a long way.

- No doubt.
- You happy to see me out or what?

Am I happy to see you out?

Shit was eating at me, bro.

- Fifteen years.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm happy to see you out.

Yeah, man. I just wanna move on.

Maybe South America.

I was thinking South America.

You wanna to go South America?
That sound like a good idea.

Yeah. You could use a change too.

Hey, you and me, all this cash.
Live like kings, bro.

You're gettin' to some serious shit.

I'm serious. I got plans.
You're a part of 'em.

I'm good where I am, Jake.

You put a good face on everything, Sonny.

Joe, Kayvon, they wouldn't give me
this cash if you ain't tell 'em to.

- I never saw it like that.
- What'd you see it like?

I see it like I left a friend behind.

You're more than a friend.

That's right.

Brothers.

Brothers.

All right, man.

Catch you tomorrow.

In the morning. I'll be here early.

We're having a family dinner.

We're not a family and I'm not your kid.

[text alert sounds]

My man.

Good morning, Mr. Banning.

- Huh?
- You looking nice. Real spiffy.

- Jacket was my daddy's.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

- You look respectable.
- I appreciate.

Yeah.

- Mmm.
- What?

Fuck. Fifteen years behind
the wall, not a scratch.

I can't even shave my face.

Yeah, I still see you wearing
that band of eternal bondage.

Yeah, a little wishful thinking, I guess.

Megan don't wear one, right?

Hey, help is on the way, bro.
Dr. Banning got this.

I'm gonna fix that relationship up
between you and Megan.

I can. Deep down I can tell
you really loved the bitch.

- Bitch? Who you calling a bitch?
- Slut? Cunt? Whore?

Fuck you. You can't call my wife a bitch.

I will whip your ass if you talk
about Megan like that.

- I'm sorry, bitch. I got carried away.
- Oh, I'm a bitch?

I'm a bitch?

Okay, bitch.

Shit. There we go.

Yeah, we had that down. In and out.

You did the D-E-M.

- You did the O-N-S.
- That's right.

You had a real talent, man.
You could've done something with that.

You stuck out here,
chasing bad guys around.

Shit.

Best time of my life.
That ain't saying much, is it?

That can change.

Like you, police officer?

- I surprised myself, honestly.
- I get it.

I do. I get it.

All that guilt have you doin' shit
you're not supposed to be doin',

bein' somebody you're not.

- I'm Catholic. I get it.
- No.

That's not why I did it.
Like, not at all why I did it.

Yeah? Why you did it then?

It was the right thing to do.

[bell tolling]

[chattering]

You forgot something important.

- Forgot what?
- Flowers.

She's gonna finish playing,
she's gonna go,

"Sonny, I love you, Sonny."

[Sonny chuckles]

- She's gonna appreciate it, man.
- She doesn't like flowers.

We're gotta rush though, man.
I can't be in there forever.

Hit the gas.

You remember when we say,
"We go straight to hell"?

You say what?

I say, "When do we leave?"

- I went there, Sonny.
- Yeah, and you made it out, man.

Put the past in the past.

[Jake] Whoo!

-[Sonny grunts]
-[Jake chuckles] Get some roses.

I need you to get out of town.
Go someplace.

I don't even need to know.
I will call you.

- I-I don't understand.
- You're in danger. Darcy's in danger.

Until I know what's going on with Jake,
I can't have you at the house.

Megan, go! Now!

[sirens wailing]

[man on PA, indistinct]

Are you okay, Sonny? Jesus.

Wanna tell me what happened here,
Detective?

Not sure myself, Lieutenant.

You and the suspect were here together.
We got that right?

That's correct. His name is Jake Banning.

Banning. Juvie that did time
for that armored car heist.

What the fuck were you doing
with Jake Banning?

I knew him from school.
He asked for a ride, I gave it to him.

He just snapped.

[text alert chimes]

-[text alert beeps]
- Hey. Darcy, right?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to creep up on you like that.

- You are?
- Jake.

Friend of Sonny's.

Oh. That Jake.

Guilty.

Sonny and me were gonna see you play,
but he got caught up with something.

Oh, really?

Same old story.

He said you grew up
to be a pretty good kid.

He didn't emphasize the "pretty" part.

You're such a liar.

Sonny probably said
I was growing up too fast.

He can be such an ass.
That's probably why he didn't come.

Nah, trust me. He got caught up with work.

- So now you're sticking up for him?
- He really wanted to see you play.

Look. Sonny wanted me to give you this.

He didn't have time to wrap it.

Here.

Look at that. Yeah, it looks good on you.

Look like a hot nun,
with that little old dress cut so spare.

A nun?

- Yeah.
- You don't know me.

That could change. Right?

You been in prison, right?

Yeah, but-- I made a little mistake
when I was about your age.

- What kind of mistake?
- I thought I had friends I could rely on.

[scoffs] You're different from Sonny.
I don't see you two being friends.

Ah, maybe you don't know him like I do.

[sirens wailing]

Maybe not.

Kayvon, it's Sonny. I'm at Joe's house.
Jake may be coming for you. Call me back.

Yo!

Joe!

Hey, yo, Joe! Donna!

Darcy! Where the hell have you been?

- Nowhere.
- Well, we need to go. Come on.

Fuck, Joe.

[phone: line ringing]

What the fuck is going on, Sonny?
Getman is all over my ass.

He wants to know if there a connection
between you and Banning.

Joe Williams is dead. I need as many units
as I possibly can get to Kayvon's house.

I need your help, partner.

How much do I wanna know?

It's bad for me, Lorna.

It's way worse than any of the shit
we've ever been through before.

Shit.

- What the fuck do I tell Getman?
- I don't care what you tell him.

- You'll figure it out.
- You owe me.

Add it to my bill.

[Sonny] River Park is where we used to
meet up and lay low after shit popped off.

Hardly anybody was ever there.

Jake said he was just
getting started with his payback.

That's all demons do--
destroy everything you love.

I had to finish this.

How's your day going, Officer?

[Jake] Whee!

Hey, now. Still warm.

Hold on tight.

Sonny, unbelievable.

Look at mama, just textin' away,
paying no mind to her baby girl.

-[girl laughs]
- What's this world coming to?

Hey, you remember the first time we met?

About an hour off that bus,
you tried to rob my white ass.

We beat each other for about an hour.

Both got suspended.

First--

- Second grade.
- Second grade. You remember.

That was the start of something epic.

Something we always had-- respect.

- Yeah, we had that.
- Well, you hurt my feelings, bro.

- Becoming a cop.
- I just found Joe.

Fifteen years inside,
it's funny what you're capable of doing.

You know I always thought
that there was a code, honor,

friendship, something.

But I had what you call...

an epiphany.

What was that?

No such thing as code,
honor or friendship.

- So, this is your plan?
- Ah.

I'm just wingin' it.

After 15 years of being told what to do,

when to pee, when to poop,

my brother, it feels invigorating.

Hey, now!

Huh-ho!

The cashier and that lady at the store,
you ain't have to do that.

I want you to know what it feels to be me,
what it's like to be fucking helpless.

I paid the price.

Now you gon' pay.

- You could've killed us last night.
- What fun would that be, huh?

You know, we having fun now, brother.

-[chuckles]
- Come on, baby girl.

- Oh, my God!
-[Sonny] Run to your mommy.

Put that gun down.

Okay.

Watch me now.

What's that?

- Huh?
- Where the fuck is Darcy, Jake?

- Sonny--
- Where the fuck is Darcy?

I don't call my brothers
on Darcy's phone,

tell 'em where I am with that money
and what you owe,

well, use your imagination now.

Put your gun down.

Whoo! Let's go now.

[whistles]

Clips too, player.

Go ahead. Spin that over.

I said, spin that shit over.

Don't move.

Toss them keys to that sweet-ass ride.

For fuck's sake.

Which gun should I use? I don't know.

So many choices, so many guns.

[Jake chuckles]

- Where you going?
- What do you want?

Bang-bang! Bang-bang!

[laughs] I want 15 years.

I can't get you that.

Your life will have to do.

I'm right here.

No. No, no, no, no, Sonny,
your death is for later.

I want your life.

Sit down. Right there.

Put them handcuffs on. You know
how to use those handcuffs? Go ahead.

Mm-hmm. There you go.

I'm-a go see Megan, see how she's feeling.

[kisses, laughs]

- Fuck you, Jake.
- You don't got what it takes to stop me.

Not yet.

[grunts]

-[engine starts]
-[tires screeching]

Fuck!

[chattering, faint]

[camera shutter clicks]

[horn honks]

- Get your hands off my freaking car, man!
- Police! Out now!

- Let me see some ID.
- Get the fuck out.

[man] Fuck, man.

Where's Darcy? Check on her right now.

Darcy!

Darcy!

- Sonny, she's not here.
- You gotta get out of the house.

- No. Sonny--
- Listen to me. Listen--

Hey, hey. I'll call you right back.

Tell me what is going on--

Sonny, you should see this place.

- Jake, where is she?
- Oh, you'd love it.

The service? Impeccable.

You touch her, I'll fucking destroy you,
Jake. You know that, right?

You and your inbred
fucking racist brothers,

your mom, your whole family.

- If you touch her--
- Ah.

Now I'm starting to hear it.

- Yeah, you hearing what?
- The real you, Sonny.

Fuck you, Jake.

- Where is she?
- Sonny, you ain't no cop.

You're a fraud. That's why you're unhappy.

Why you can't even make it stick
with Megan.

Don't you say her fucking name!

That's why you can't even be yourself.

Touch her, you're a dead man.
You know that, right?

You promise? Do you?

Pinky swear?

You don't have my stuff in an hour,
my brothers gonna do more than touch her.

I got your money, man.

Just let her go.
Let her go and it's yours.

Sonny, I'm losing you.

I wish we could FaceTime,

but believe it or not,
I don't know how to use these things.

Jake!

Hey, strawberry.

Slide that pretty little head up here
and start workin' my inseam.

Yeah?

[hip-hop continues playing]

Hey, Jake. Where'd you come from?

I asked around.
I heard you roam around these parts.

- My phone.
- You dropped it back at the church.

- I found it, but you were gone.
- Thank you.

- This your dad or what?
- I'm a different kind of daddy, girl.

Your sister's been blowin' that up.

Sonny's been calling too.

- They're not even together anymore.
- Ring, ring, ring.

Today she totally flips out.
Says we have to leave the house.

Yeah, I know. I ditched her.

Mmm. You should call her back.

No. Let 'em wait.

I should go.

- Stay.
- Are you sure about that?

Well, listen, if we gonna stay,
let's get somethin' to drink.

Hey, pretty lady. Why don't you
get Daddy something to drink?

[chuckles]

- You want your change back?
- Nah, you can keep it.

Jesus, stare much? Alejandra, go.

You always carry large like that?

Well, you know I've been incarcerated.

I've been stamping license plates,

sewing up underwear,
working in the wood shop, training dogs.

I mean, I'm splurging, girl.

Yeah, I stare much.

- Mmm.
-"Mmm."

You know, I was going to another party
after whatever this is, if you wanna come.

I'm a little old for that. But I see you
looking at that boy over there.

I know you want to show him
you got other plans. I get it.

Come on. Let's roll out.

Uh, my friend Alejandra with the drinks?

She'll take the Uber. Come on.

Um, it's Uber. Like a verb.

Is it, smarty pants?

- Sonny.
- Why are you still here?

I'm not going anywhere without Darcy.

[Megan] You hid this
when we redid the bedrooms?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

You know me and Sonny used to roll, right?

[chuckles] I got some stories.

You wouldn't believe the shit
Sonny used to get up to.

- How bad was he?
- Pretty bad.

You know, his mama was my mama,
my mama was his mama.

We slept in the same bed together.

Watched the same cartoons. [chuckles]

We robbed the same jewelry stores.

It wasn't always like that.

We weren't always
kicking people down the stairs,

taking all their welfare checks,

spending it on weed
and just acting foolish.

He thought he was gonna go to art school.
[laughs]

Fucking Michelangelo.

Sonny Michelangelo.

He wasn't too bad.

Except that around here,

becoming an artist is like, uh...

finding a halo in hell.

[scoffs] Good luck, partner.

Even though he's my brother-in-law, he...

kinda acts like my father.

Kinda miss it, I guess.
He's not really around anymore.

We gon' bring Sonny back around.

I'll show you Sonny.

I'll show you Sonny.

Shit.

I had it since I was 14.

You seemed so distant sometimes.

And all these years I thought
it was because of somebody else

or something else.

But it was this.

I can make it up, Meg.

I'll tell you what.

You...

You owe me now.

Go find Darcy.

Sonny.

- This isn't the way.
- Change of plans, baby girl.

[phone: ringtone]

[Sonny] I got your money.
Let me talk to Darcy.

- What money, Sonny?
- Darcy, where are you?

Uh, I'm just out with some friends.

Darcy, the man you with is very dangerous.

I'm not playing around.
Tell me where you are.

- More dangerous than you, demon?
- What?

No wonder you and Megan didn't work.

She thought you were a good guy.

I don't know what the fuck Jake has
told you, but I need you to listen to me.

Just the truth.

You don't have to worry about pretending
no more with Megan either.

Darcy, tell me where you are!

[chuckles]

Hey, Sonny,
you need to fix these brakes, boy.

[chuckles]

Hey, relax, bro. We just going
to a party, have a little fun.

Hey, you remember Emilio, don't you?

You sent him to the hospital
with that traffic cone?

- You wanna come?
- Let her out of the car and I'll meet you.

- You got what I asked for?
- I got the money, man.

It's yours. Just let her go.

I'll see you there.

- What was all that about?
- My inner asshole turning out.

They say you the same age
when you leave prison as you went in.

I was 14.

- Maybe this is a bad idea.
- Hey, Sonny gon' be there.

You don't like the party, you could leave.

I promise.

[speakers: hip-hop playing]

[chattering]

Ooh, he likes you.

- How you doing?
-[woman] What's wrong?

My cousin not good enough for you?

No, it's just Jake and I
were supposed to go to a party.

Oh, but, baby--

-[man grunts]
-[woman screams]

Take the seat, Frankie. Come on, baby.

[gun cocks]

Emilio.

- How you doing, brother?
- So-so, Sonny.

- Today seem a little complicated, huh?
- Yeah, it seem that way.

[Sonny] Fucking with a cop's family,
that's new heights for even you.

Shit, I know. But times is hard, man.

You know the kind of cash I gotta drop
to send my kid off to college?

You know what I mean? Real criminal shit.

That sound like your problem.

The more I make, cop,

the more you motherfuckers take, man.

Just let her go. She ain't a part of this.

Look like you made her
part of this now, man.

- Call your man Jake.
- Let her go.

You know whose shop this is?

[Emilio scoffs]

Rustle this shit up.

[guns cocking]

What you all waiting for? Search him.

Jake pay you yet?

I ain't think so.

- I'm the bag man.
-[Jake] Damn, Sonny.

You got some stones, man.

Cop coming in the jungle, unarmed,

slappin' folks around, conversatin',
fraternizin' with the felons.

- It's okay.
- Sonny boy, do me a favor.

Kick that bread over.

Who tryin' to make 700K?

Any one of y'all put a hole
in his head, it's yours.

Seven hundred "K." Put a hole
in his fucking head, you got it.

Y'all niggas don't want no money?
Shoot this nigga!

Nice, Sonny! I'm loving it!

Let me see what's in this bag.

Hey, Jake.

Think this about 700K.

Emilio, you are a man of your word.

Little friendship we developed
behind the wall.

It's, uh, rapprochement.

Something you and I supposedly had, Sonny.

-[Sonny grunts]
-[Darcy screams]

- Don't die on me, Sonny.
-[grunts]

A gift in your pocket.

[coughing]

Go ahead. Get your breath.

Anything happen to her,
y'all motherfuckers gotta deal with me.

- You understand?
- Only if you believe in reincarnation.

-[Darcy screaming]
-[Jake chuckles]

[Jake cackling]

Shit.

Hold on. Hell no. Not in here.

Y'all go ahead and kill his ass.
Use the motherfucking storage room.

Good day, Sonny.

Fuck you, Emilio.

Get the fuck off me, man.

Shit, man, you can have the money, man.

Sorry about the mess, motherfucker.

[engine starts]

Where you at, Sonny boy? Where you at?

Ah! Right on time, Sonny boy!
Here you are!

Come on, Sonny.

[horns honking]

What the fuck.

-[screams]
- Oh!

Fuck!

You might have to hold the wheel.
You might have to play along, baby girl.

Here we go, baby girl.
I see where your daddy's rollin'.

- I see you, baby.
- Sonny, watch out!

- Darcy.
-[screams]

[shouting]

- He's not coming back for you.
- You don't know Sonny.

Say another fucking word, I'll put
your fucking brains on that little window.

[tires screeching]

Where are you taking me?

What are you gonna do?

Jake. Answer me!

Hey, don't ask questions
you already know answers to.

Fuckin' bitch.

Stop! Sonny. Sonny!

Stop! Please, stop! Stop!

[Darcy screams]

[Claire screams]

Here. Give it.

Go ahead. Finish it.

- Right here.
-[sirens wailing]

Do it right in front of my mom.

- Be a man like you used to be.
-[Claire] Leave him alone!

Do it for Joe and Kayvon, people
you used to really care about, Sonny.

Do it 'cause I sent them to hell today.

-[Lorna] Sonny!
- Ah, so disappointed, bro.

- I thought you were ready.
- I got him. Cuff him.

[handcuffs clicking]

Keep looking,
you might find something you like.

- Come on.
- You see that?

Sonny keeps it hidden in his house,
but it's there.

- Yeah? What's that, Jake?
- Himself. Demon.

-[Lorna] Get this guy out of here.
-[car door closes]

Can you excuse us a sec, Darcy?

-[engine starts]
- You okay?

[kisses]

Three million's missing from the
armored car Jake Banning went down for.

Then 15 years later
bills happen to show up,

and everywhere I look, there you are.

So listen, I was there.
Fifteen years ago, I was there.

Not like you think, not like it sounds.

But the whole shit went down,
I was right there.

Sonny, I don't know if I can help you.

What? I need you to add this to my bill.

I'm giving you an hour,
and then I gotta go to Getman.

What do you expect me to do?
I need at least till the morning.

- Let me figure something out.
- Why am I doing this?

[exhales]

All right, I will see you in the morning.
Early.

- Thank you. Thank you.
- Okay.

[Sonny] I got Jake. But Jake got me.

What do I do?

Come clean, end up in a prison cell.

Find the rest of the cash,
bolt out of town.

I had to find a way out.

A way out that would protect
Megan and Darcy.

Darcy!

- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

Here, get in the house.

You comfortable?
You have everything you need?

I miss this place.

Home sweet home.

You probably think I'm some
irredeemable piece of crap, don't you?

Without one single drop
of human compassion.

No, wrong. Sonny must've really loved you.

He sacrificed who he was
as a cop and a man to try and stop you.

Me?

I'd have put a bullet in your head
the first chance I got.

You hate him, Jake?

- I love him like a brother.
- So all this just to hurt him?

Self-help, Detective.

I'm trying to get his balls back.

You're afraid of me,
aren't you, Detective?

I am afraid of getting you on my shoe.

Ah.

[Megan] All right.

I'm gonna finish the rest up tomorrow
'cause I still got let some of this dry.

Yeah, I should get going.

It's late.

Stay.

Stay? Are you sure you want me to stay?

You remember where the couch is?

Yeah?

So you a comedian now, huh?

It's good to see you smile.

- Good night, baby.
- Good night.

[Lorna] The armored car.

Huh?

Sonny Carson was there
15 years ago, wasn't he?

You keep checking.
You got somewhere to be?

All right.

[clicks, beeps]

I'm turning it off.

If you can help me out here,
I can help Sonny.

Clearly, we both care about the guy
in our own... twisted way.

You and Sonny?

Talk to me.

Question first.
Are you "L," "G," "B," or "T"?

You've been in prison too long, Jake.
See, that shit's not funny anymore.

[ship horn blowing]

I thought Jake was gonna kill me.

I'm so sorry I got you into this, Darcy.

What's wrong with him?

Is he crazy?

You and Meg,
you're the best thing I ever had.

Jake never had that.
He doesn't have much love in him.

He wasn't always like that though.

What's gonna happen to you?

I'll be all right.

Don't you worry about me, okay?

Oh.

Just remember that Megan and I
are always here for you.

[phone buzzing]

- Sonny?
- Jake escaped.

Now, come on.

[machine gun fire]

Yeah, yeah.

You know what's ironic, Lorna?

Huh?

You are on my shoe.

Sonny?

- Where are you going?
- To find my brother.

One for you...

one for you...

and one for me.

-[banging on door]
- Blaine!

- What the fuck!
- Jake. Jake Banning.

- I don't know.
- Where is Jake?

You're a fucking liar. Give me that.

[Kelly] What are you doing?

- I don't know.
- Jake Banning.

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

[screams]

- High-end military shit, Blaine.
-[Kelly yelps]

Assault rifles, grenades.

That's all you, baby. That's your shit.

You're a dead man.

- Oh, two shots. Try for three.
-[screams]

Stop! You're gonna kill him.

You feel fucking good, don't you?

What you got here?
You got fucking dick pills.

You can't get your dick up
for all these fucking hos here?

- This will help. Open up.
-[grunting]

Your fucking heart's gonna explode, nigga.
You better give it up.

- Please stop!
-[gagging]

Don't die. Don't die. Hold on. Hold on.

-[gagging]
- Get that out of there. Use your words.

- Use your words.
- I don't know. I don't know.

Use your fucking words. Tell me.

- I don't know.
- Where the fuck is Jake?

Where the fuck is Jake?

[Kelly] Tell him where Jake is.

Jake's brothers-- [coughs]

-[Kelly] Just-- Just tell him!
- They're at...

-[Kelly] Let him go.
- They're at the fucking Rat.

You better not be fucking with me.

He's gonna need an ambulance.

Damn, Sonny.

You in hell yet?

I'm on my way, bruh.

Come here, girl.

Not what I just heard. [sighs]

No, no, no.

Hey, Sonny. Be honest with me.

Is that not the finest ass
you've ever seen?

I mean, it's better than Megan's
little speed bump, right?

[Jake kisses] Hey.

How many years
you think this is all worth?

Snorting pure Colombian
off a fine tushy like that, huh?

Maybe, like, two, three years.

Maybe.

Somehow it just doesn't seem to add up.
I don't know why.

Give me a light, baby.

I mean, brother Kayvon,
maybe he's worth two, three years.

Maybe.

Joe?

Joe wasn't worth shit from jump,
if you ask me.

So-- Uh, never mind.

I give him a year
because I'm feeling charitable.

But all this shit here?

Maybe five or six years.

- You're losing me, Jake.
- Yeah, me too, Jake.

I'm talking about my life,
you fucking dodo head!

Fifteen fucking years.

You go and try make them years up.
It's not easy.

I've tried it. I've got my hands full.

I've done fucked and killed

everything I can get my little
itty bitty fucking hands on.

It just doesn't seem to add up.
I've not been given my due.

All this shit here is just...

boring.

It's all been done before.

It's really depressing me.

It's been a depressing day.

And then there's you, Sonny.

You remind me.

My brother, you keep me going.

And that pretty little whore right there,

she told me the greatest story
I've ever heard.

The shit you did to that pimp,

that's the type of shit that keeps me
warm and fuzzy at night.

You tortured that boy
just to get to me. I love it.

[laughs]

- I love it.
- Kelly.

Go. Get out of here. Kelly, go!

[Jake] Kelly, stay.

Stick around.

Hey.

Do you recognize it? Huh?

It belonged to, uh-- Whatever the fuck--
What was her name?

Lori? Donny?

What's her name, Sonny?

- Lorna.
- Lorna.

- Yeah, Jake, her name's Lorna.
- She's right there.

Say hello.

She on my shoe.

One in the chamber, partner.
Go ahead. Finish it.

I know you got an endgame.

You ain't come up in this butcher shop
like a dumb little lamb chop now, did you?

I'm not gonna shoot you, Jake.

I'm not gonna shoot you. You know why?

'Cause that's what you want.

And look here, brother.

Demon.

Twenty-four/seven. Life in prison.

Twenty-three and one.

You don't count days.
You count push-ups. Right, boy?

That's what I call hell.

-[gun cocks]
- Hey!

Ain't nobody shoot homey but me.

-[phone clicks]
- What, Sonny? We boring you?

Nah, Jake.

I thought you knew me.

You got a plan now, huh?

Nah.

Just wingin' it.

-[speakers: music stops]
-[alarm blaring]

[screaming]

You're kiddin' me, right? [sniffs]

That supposed to hurt?
What you know about pain? Huh?

Hey, look me in my eyes.

It's like looking in a mirror, huh?

How about one last drink? Huh?

One more.

[sirens wailing in distance]

- Ah.
-[Sonny grunts]

Shit. [chuckles]

[sirens continue wailing, closer]

[chuckles]

Sonny.

- Perimeter secure.
-[men shouting]

[Sonny] Demons always use
your secrets against you.

Those dark corners where
you keep all the hurt and pain.

They summon you.

That's why I knew where Jake
wanted me to find him.

The place where his pain was rooted.

Place he's been stuck
for the last 15 years.

- Yeah, it figures.
- Where else is there?

When I was in prison, I owned you, Sonny.

When I got out...

guess I don't want to give you up.

Jake, listen to me. And I want you
to really hear what I'm saying.

Okay, Sonny. I'm really listening.

I didn't take your life.

You made your own decisions,
lost your own 15 years.

I don't owe you shit.

Why would I do that to myself?

'Cause you rotten.

Some would say I'm a product
of my environment.

I used to say that to myself too.
It's not true.

Somethin' been fucked up
inside of you for a long time.

You feelin' that?

It's the fucking rush, man.

It's the uncertainty. It fucking kills me.

That ain't gonna be what kill you, Jake.

Oh, yeah?

What's gonna fuckin' kill me?

[pistol cocks]

You should've went to South America.

Oh, I see it now.

Sonny, I feel it now.

Oh, it's beautiful.

It's fucking poetic, man.

I know now.

I know now you know you got it back.

Do you?

Do you, Sonny?

Come on. Look me in my eyes.
I wanna see it.

I know you're dying to pull that trigger.

Here we go.

Yeah, how's it feel to be me?

Huh? Do it.

If you don't do this, I'll be back.
I'll just get out.

I'll find Megan. I'll find little Darcy.

I'll find everybody you pretended
to love and care about.

I'll take 'em away from you, boy.

I'll take your life away from you
piece by piece.

Get on your fuckin' knees.

- Get on your fuckin' knees, Jake.
- Here we go.

How'd it go, Sonny?

One would say,
"We goin' straight to hell."

What'd the other one say?

How'd it go, Sonny? Tell me.

Sonny, how'd it go?

Sorry, brother.

You can go to hell all by yourself.

It doesn't end like this.

Sonny!

[coughing, gasping]

[exhales]

[Jake] See?

You and me...

like lookin' in the goddamn mirror.

You're like me, brother.

Welcome back, Demon.

I never left, brother.

[police radio chatter]

Bring Sonny Carson in.

[Sonny] You see,
we all have demons inside of us.

The difference between me and Jake?

He needed to feed his.

I had to kill mine.

But destroying your demons
won't always set you free.

Only the truth can do that.

Did I want to keep the money? Sure, I did.

But I'm on my own road now
with the people I love.

And I gotta leave all my demons behind.
