Yo, what's up? Welcome to my patio, man.

Hey, check this out, homeboy.

This kid made preacher, man. He's kind of funky, you know what I mean?

Hey, check this out, you know. I think he's about to get busy for the 9 -6,

Check it out.

I'm just painting your apartment one day. It's not the end of the world. Two

days to paint, five days for the fumes to clear. It's Motel City for me.

I hate motels. You know, you should stay with me. Huh?

No, I just moved into Palermo's building. I got a ton of room.

Move in with you?

Yeah. I don't think so. Why not?

We do it like this. We do it like this. We do it like

this. We do it like this.

Come on, I said.

No, we never.

I don't know, man.

What if they strap?

Get out of here, homie. We gotta show that you're down for the clicker.

Go for it, I think. Get your back.

I don't choke, yo. I got the hole in my pocket cause I'm broke, but I cope, so.

There's on there.

SMK. Okay. Me and Munchkin look like SMK got them some new booty. Whoa, watch

out, Shadow.

You got us real about the loco right here, homie. More like a feather loco,

you ask me.

You know what? You're right. I thought I smelled something bad, eh? What you

smell is your sister.

Damn! Just can't get her off of me.

You little punk.

You're dead home.

Get him, Monty.

Get him. Get him. Get him.

Man,

it's always the same.

What's that?

The women I meet. They're all in some kind of crisis.

Problems at work.

Father issues.

The ex -boyfriend they hate, but have to go see every time he calls from jail. I

mean, isn't it mean, man? Do I attract these women?

Yeah, I think you do. Hey, I'm serious.

This is 2PB5 responding.

How do you do the push? He thinks your pants are cute. Is that right?

What did you tell him?

That they'll be the ones holding up their clown pants the whole time that

they're in the lockup?

That's right!

You felt some chill.

Why everyone bags on my town Stand and see,

it was for me Take a look around,

just another day in L .A.

See more than me.

Anybody.

Please see it's free.

Stop it.

One bullet down.

Just another day. Oh.

You lucked out, Ace.

Store owner's not pressing any charges.

Those vatas from N13 have him too scared.

You know, I know most of the faces around here.

I haven't seen yours before.

Hey, man.

Are you gonna uncuff me or what?

You're a minor. We can only release you to a parent or guardian.

I don't need no pinche guardian.

I can take care of myself.

Oh, and a fine job you've done so far.

Aren't you a little old to start banging?

I mean, most of the locals around here were jumped in before they were 13.

Sell out like you wouldn't understand.

Oh, yeah, and why is that?

Because you helped the Gavachos keep down your own people.

Someone put those words into your mouth, ese. They don't sound like they belong

to you. Nobody talks for me.

I'm my own man.

Right.

El rey de tu destino.

I know what you did out there, was it that?

You don't know nothing.

What do you have to do next time, Ricky?

Kill someone?

A man needs a clicker for protection and respect.

Nobody messes with an SMK.

Excuse me, are you Officer Del Toro?

Yes, I'm Victor Del Toro. I'm Linda Dominguez. Is my brother all right?

Oh, yeah, he's fine, aside from a few bruises, but he won't be if he keeps the

same company.

It was that cholo Miguel who put you up to this, wasn't it?

Bam Bam had nothing to do with this.

I'll give you Bam Bam.

The two boys you were fighting, where are they? Your brother's not pressing

charges, so we have to let him go. I want to talk to them. No, they're punk.

They'll ditch you. I don't care.

This will not happen again. Do you hear me? Excuse me, Mr. Mingus, can I speak

to you for a minute?

I heard your brother's right.

Those two bangers from M13, they're pretty hardcore.

No, they're just scared little boys.

That doesn't make them any less dangerous.

Why was Ricky fighting them? I think your brother did this as part of his

initiation into a street gang called the SMKs. Santa Monica Clica. They're at

war with the M13.

We should never have come here.

Where are you from?

Texas. We moved here a month ago.

I got a job as a paralegal in Century City.

Now, there's gangs in Texas, too. I know. I'm just...

Ricky is a good boy.

He just started getting into trouble after our parents died.

They were killed in a car crash two years ago.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, so am I.

Can I take him home now?

Yeah. He's all yours.

Uh, Ms. Dominguez, let me give you my card.

I grew up around here, and I kind of know what goes on with these kids, so if

you need somebody to talk to Ricky or look in on him or...

Anything, you know, just give me a call.

Thanks.

I'm telling you, ocean breezes and a comfy futon is a heck of a lot better

some ratty old motel.

I know, but we're good friends, we work together, but maybe we're not

compatible. Oh, please, it's just a wig.

Besides, I'm the easiest person in the world to live with. You know what? So am

I. Trust me, we'll have a great time.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Okay. Now, the place has a few quirks you need to know about.

Okay. The bathrooms stink drips, so be sure you tighten the knob, but not too

tight, or you'll strip the threads.

All righty, then.

Okay, and I have two hampers, one for wet things like washcloths, towels, and

another one for dry but dirty regular clothes.

What a good idea. That way you don't get mildew. I hate the smell of mildew,

don't you? Yeah.

Okay, now, it doesn't matter to me who uses the bathrooms first.

Man, I've been thinking about this kid, Ricky.

What about him?

Well, you know, he's not your typical banger.

Those other kids, they're damaged goods.

They're only family for a gang. But this kid's got a sister who really cares

about him. Yeah, a very attractive sister.

That's got nothing to do with it.

It's just he's come this far, I'd be ashamed to lose him now. True, but that

doesn't make his sister any less attractive.

Man, I don't even know why I tried talking to you.

I was just joking with you.

Victor, come on, man, don't be like that.

Hey, man, where were you yesterday?

You were supposed to watch my back.

Hey, I was there, homie, the whole time.

You guys should have seen this chingo on swing in that bar. Those hens looked

like they were ducking line drives at Dodger Stadium.

You know what?

I got real courage, that's it.

Damn,

man, you were down for us, you see.

Man, I was just about to step in, homie, but the cops showed up.

My sister had to come and get me out.

She was pissed.

Don't even sweat it, Holmes.

Yeah, women worry a lot, you know? It's kind of like their job.

Yeah, well.

Hey, I got to go. My sister needs me. Hey, hey, hey.

I can wait.

First, we got to take care of some business.

What kind of business?

Next movie, though.

Oh, and don't put coffee grounds or fruit pills in the disposal.

It gums it up.

Just put it in the trash.

I got it, I got it.

Of course you do. I'm sorry. You may not have noticed, but I'm a little bit of a

detailed person.

Oh, I've noticed.

Oh, oh, and don't forget about the front door. It's it.

Jiggle the key.

I know. You told me three times. I'm sorry. It's that detailed person showing

her little face again.

Hey,

come on.

Okay, now pay attention, all right?

You're little.

Your last mission and you're one of us.

I wonder if the whole thing's about playing at our turf.

Yeah, if anyone serves rock around here, it's going to be us. All right.

We'll lay down cover, or you run in and you grab their stash.

Where is the stuff?

It's under the register, Issy. The pinche owners get a piece for helping

stash their rock.

I got you something.

Man, I don't want that.

So you're going to do this or not?

I'm going to do it, but I ain't going to kill nobody.

Mira, locos.

Look at us just staying here.

Pain con huevos.

Let's do this.

Anything? They were all wearing bandanas. Nobody saw anything.

Come on. You're telling me nobody knows who those guys are?

Of course they know. The store owners are lying.

The M13s were selling rock out of there. They found a whole stash of empty vials

underneath the counter.

Gee, what do you think? Another gang -related shooting?

I've never seen those M's move so

fast. Shoot!

Yo, man, my AP was going like, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,

bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,

bam, bam, bam,

bam,

Hey, Bam Bam Tone, that's it.

Damn, man, K's gonna look like an R now.

Santo, huh?

That's your new name now, huh?

I'm gonna be on the bus now, huh?

That's it.

I can't work like this.

That's okay.

I gotta go anyway.

My sister will be worried.

Hey, hey, hey, what do you care?

We're your family now.

I know that, but it's not the same.

Would they back you up in a fight?

Go to jail for you? Die for you?

We would, homie.

We would.

What's his problem?

Hey, he's sensitive, fool.

Yeah, family gets him sad.

Last time Essie was home, his father put him in the hospital for the third time.

And his mom, she didn't go. Go see him once.

At least mine let me go home and change my clothes.

Hey, mine too, listen.

Salud. Salud.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm really good with the videos.

Did you get Pulp Fiction? Reservoir Dogs?

They were out. Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx?

Didn't have it. Under Siege 2? Sorry, can't do Steven Seagal. Oh.

Well, what'd you get? I got... Sleepless in Seattle, Fried Green Tomatoes,

and... While You Were Sleeping.

Oh, great. I guess you went for high -octane estrogen.

Presentation is everything.

All righty. Time for number one.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Is everything all right?

Did Ricky?

Oh, no, no, no. He's fine.

He's fine. I mean, well, I don't know. I mean, what I mean is I just came by to

see if Ricky was okay.

Oh, well, he's not here.

He's late. You know, teenagers.

Oh, yeah, I do.

I used to be one myself, you know.

So, um, are you going to hold that thing between your legs all day?

What? Your bike.

Would you like to put it down, have something to drink?

Yeah, sure.

I've got soda, lemonade, or just plain water.

Soda's fine.

So tell me, Officer Del Toro, do you give this level of service to all the

citizens on your beat?

Actually, that's what our unit's all about.

Community policing.

You know, getting closer to the citizens.

You know, getting to know many of them on a one -on -one basis.

And how many citizens have you gotten to know one -on -one? A lot,

actually.

Hundreds, maybe.

Oh, that many?

It's very professional.

I mean, it's not personal.

Or even that friendly most of the time.

You seem pretty friendly to me.

Because I am.

That's why I'm here.

What's he doing here?

I just came by to see how you were.

Yeah, right.

Ricky, watch the attitude.

Look, if you want to hang with this traicionero, that's up to you.

Don't pretend like you're doing it for me.

See, now that's the second time you've accused me of being disloyal to the raza

with nothing to back it up. You know what I see?

A wannabe Anglo riding his silly -ass bike.

You think what I do is easy?

Kid stuff.

Well, how about you coming down to the trials course with me and see what

made of?

I ain't got time for this. Later.

Ricky! Let him go.

Hey,

I ain't afraid of nothing.

Prove it. I would, but I don't have a bite.

I got an extra one.

Let's go.

I'll see you later, bro.

I always cry at this part, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

Bucket.

That's an interesting food combination.

Pretty damn tasty.

Is this fun? Having a great time.

Here you go.

What's that for?

It's a colonel plague. You know, for the ones that don't pop all the way.

Or make it to your mouth.

Ah, I see.

Thanks.

Pay attention.

It's Beth Hart.

Wouldn't want to miss that.

Hey,

you two. I thought you skipped out on me.

You should have seen me.

Oh, man. I wiped out three times, but I did a 360.

You've got to come next time, Linda, and bring the video.

Maybe I will.

Oh, but you gotta check him out.

Man, he should be in the circus.

Go on, wash up.

Dinner's ready.

All right.

Here, man.

Why don't you hang on to that for me?

What?

You sure?

Yeah, I mean, you'll be doing me a real favor. I got so many at my apartment, I

can hardly move.

All right. Feed him in, man.

All right.

Careful.

He's acting like a kid again.

I haven't seen that in a while.

I'm glad.

Would you like to join us?

I made enough.

I really shouldn't.

But, uh, can I take a rain check?

Sure. All right.

Good night.

Victor.

Oh, dog!

Damn,

what's up with you today, homie?

Ah,

dog. Don't even swear at ese.

He's probably just sniffing around his sister.

Hey, I sniffed too, man, that Linda.

She's mad fine.

Well, scary, fool.

One time I went over there, I thought she was going to kick my butt.

Man, no te preocupes, man.

Santo, man, he's down for us, man. You told what he did.

Whatever, I think.

1 -PB -7, request backup. We'll apply a V -pass. Shots fired. Keep shots fired.

This is 157 request ambulance, Rose Avenue and Oceanfront Walk.

One thing about breathing.

On your stomach. Go. Come on.

This is 1 -DB -8.

Requesting backup. Armed Hispanic male heading south onto your marina.

What's going on, man?

Hey, Rabbit.

Later on.

Oh, no. Quit playing, Holmes.

Quit playing.

Hey, you're going to be all right. You hear that?

They're going to come and get you, Holmes. They're going to come and get

You're going to be all right.

Don't leave me, Holmes.

Holmes.

Hey, sis.

Here's a trick Victor showed me.

Okay, come on. Let me see it.

It's no big deal.

Victor said he'd show me some really wicked stuff next time.

I'm gonna get a soda. Want one?

Yeah, sure.

All you need is a monkey with a cup and then you'll be in business.

Hey, what's up, Bam Bam?

M -13 said it's on the beach.

Oh, man.

What do you want?

I thought I told you to leave my brother alone.

They shot Warlock.

He's dead, isn't he?

What? Who's dead?

Ricky, did you know this boy?

Rabbit got messed up, too.

We're gonna pay him back. I need you. He's not going anywhere with you.

Is that how it's gonna be?

You're gonna punk out because of her?

Come on, man. She's my sister.

She doesn't care about you.

That bike cop is all she wants.

Just the excuse.

Hey, man, you're bugging. Oh, yeah?

I seen her climb all over him last night.

She kicked him and everything.

Go on.

Ask her.

Is that true?

No, he's twisting it.

You really believe that cop came around because of you?

Think about it, I say.

First time you make trouble, they'll sell you out.

You'll be on your own. Get away from us, or I swear I'll kill you myself.

It's your choice, Santo.

But I'll always be down for you.

He's lying.

I was only thanking Victor for helping.

I'll bet you were.

I'll bet you thanked him real good.

Ricky!

So, what would you like to do for dinner tonight? Would you like to cook or eat

out?

Neither. I thought I'd order in, if that's okay with you.

Oh.

It's fine.

If you want to order in, then go ahead.

It's not as if I had this big fancy dinner planned for the both of us.

Hey, I was only asking.

I was only answering.

Woo! Come on, O.

Come on, son. Pass it over here, son. Pass it over here. Get up. Get up.

Woo -hoo -hoo -hoo!

Yeah!

Shadow! What's up, Josh?

I'm mucho peaceful.

You got a lot of catching up to do, eh, son? Oye, carnal.

I just got through talking to Slyboy's mom.

What happened?

She's holding him in sleep without bail, eh?

Slyboy's 17.

They're going to send his ass up to state this time. Eh.

At least he'll be with his homeboys here, no?

Well,

it's official. We have a full -blown gang war.

The SM case just hit back for this morning. No witnesses, I suppose.

Just Munchkin, and he's on his way to intensive care.

Something wrong, Victor? I don't know.

I just hope someone I know isn't here.

I got your message. Is Ricky okay? I want you to arrest him. Why?

I found this tape inside the toilet.

If it means he goes to jail, dust time, whatever it takes, because I will not

lose him to this mindless crap.

breakfast.

Sit. Sit.

Do you want some juice?

No.

Coffee's fine.

I just wanted to, you know, thank you.

It was my pleasure.

Whoa! How did that bad boy get in there, huh?

Oh, hope you don't mind the laundry. I didn't want to hog the bathroom, so I

decided to hang him in there.

Good thinking.

Well, dig in.

I'm sorry.

I can't. I can't. I just can't.

I can't believe that you were going to let a great breakfast like this get cold

just because you can't stand to eat in a messy kitchen.

Okay, okay.

I admit it.

I'm a little compulsive.

You're psychotic.

You're out of control.

And you are a disgusting slob.

Okay, okay, just let it out. Let it all out. Oh, no, no, no, no. Just because

you live like a swine doesn't mean I'm going to let you get to me.

Well, then something as little as this probably wouldn't even bother you, would

it?

Not at all.

No? No.

Well, then how about something...

That was very childish.

And no, it didn't bother me at all. No, no. Hmm.

Well.

What about this?

Did that bother you?

You're going to play rough, huh?

There.

That's it? Yeah.

That's your best shot?

Well, it's dirty now. You have to wash it again.

That's dirty?

Yeah.

Must be dirty? Yeah.

Uh -uh. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no. That is a Navy shirt. That is sacred.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, no. Oh, do you want water?

Hospital call.

Munchkin made it through surgery.

Is he going to live?

Even odds. He's still unconscious.

That gun you brought in?

Yeah. Looks to be the one that shot him.

I don't think Ricky was the shooter. He had possession of the weapon. We still

have to bring him in.

I know.

I understand you're friendly with the sister.

Meaning? Meaning I hope it doesn't cloud your judgment.

It won't.

Why don't you get TC and take a couple of runs through the Oakwood?

Maybe you'll spot the kid, huh?

gave my piece to the cop?

I hid it where you told me, but she found it anyway.

There's been a lot of bank on that gun.

Did you do anything right?

I'm sorry.

She was going to rat me out to the cop anyway.

Just like you said.

It's only a matter of time, huh?

Mira, hey, don't sweat the gun, all right?

Because there's plenty more where that came from.

What's that for?

Yeah, that's payback for water.

Rest in peace.

Hey, we gotta finish the job or we'll lose respect.

Maybe we should wait and let things cool down.

I mean, the cops are looking for us right now.

Don't worry about them. They're lame.

I don't know, Eze. Maybe I should call them.

Forget about it, Santo.

That's over with.

We're family now.

And you and me, Eze, we're gonna find Shadow.

We're gonna take him out.

Por la clica.

Por la clica.

Something bothering you?

Yeah.

Linda?

Watch out, man. You're the one always complaining about meeting these women

problems.

This isn't her fault. She's trying to save her brother.

Doesn't make it any less of a problem.

You sure you need this?

Man, you don't know what it's like.

Pretty good idea, Victor. I see it all the time. Let me ask you a question.

Are you scared to die every time you leave your house?

No. These kids are.

So they join a gang for protection.

But that doesn't solve their problem.

Because the minute they leave their hood, they're in danger again.

TC, these kids have to run to school every day through enemy territory.

And if they're careless or slow, they will be shot.

Now, that's not where you come from.

No, it's not.

This is Palermo.

Go, Lieutenant. What's up?

Munchkin pulled through.

Did he say Freakin' was there?

No, but he made Munchkin as his shooter.

He's certain he'll go after his buddy, Shadow.

Do you have any ideas on where to find Shadow? A few.

Perfect place for you to die.

Right here in a pile of garbage.

Say your prayers, Shadow.

Because it's time to pay for your sins.

Damn, who am I doing?

Man, you should have thought of that before you waved the warlock.

Rest in peace.

I didn't mean to. Come on, Ho -Bam -Bam.

I was just trying to scare you for taking us off, eh? Mira, it's an

I swear.

Come on, Santo.

No, man.

Give it. Man, no! No!

Trade. I won't kill for you, man.

I won't kill for anyone.

Too bad.

Not me, Essie.

Just you.

Hi. Hi.

Cleaned everything up?

Yeah. Thanks.

The place looks great.

Well, I didn't want to leave too much destruction in my wake.

Listen, I gotta... Go ahead.

Corey, I just want to tell you, I'm really sorry.

Me too. Look, things got way out of control.

I mean, I know I'm a flop.

Doesn't make me the best roommate in the world.

Me neither. I'm a compulsive neat freak.

Having you here was good.

You loosened me up a little.

Friends? Yeah.

Just not roommates. Never again.

Hey, um...

I'll catch up to you. All right.

Victor, what you did for Ricky, I won't forget that. It was... Linda, listen.

I'm not sure what it really was.

What do you mean?

Well, maybe my motives weren't entirely pure. I mean...

Even TC said so.

Was he right?

Well, you know, I'd love to say no, but I'd be lying.

It was all over for me the minute I laid eyes on you.

Funny, I barely noticed you.

No? Mm -mm.

I guess you're right.

I gave you my card and everything and then I went over to your house that day

and you had to read my name off my shirt to know who I was. That kind of hurt.

Pobrecito.

I was hoping you'd remember.

I remember.

You're in trouble, you know that?

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone backs on my town.

Look, stand and speak.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in L .A.

Anybody, sees more than me.

Anybody,

thinks he is free.

Someday, one bullet down, just

another day.
