This is the city of brotherly love.

You got any brothers?

Excuse me.

Light's green.

Yeah, I see him.

I don't know who your brother is.

Just step, lady. I don't know what you're talking about. I know he came

here. I know you called him. Just tell me where he is. He came and he met you

here. Vanessa.

What's going on?

What? What are you doing?

I'm looking for my brother.

You don't know nothing about what's going on out here. Oh, so you just share

page with the other Omar, the other guy he came to see? As far as you're

concerned, yeah.

Now, you need to just get to stepping. Hey, Omar, mind if I have a word with

her? Please, please, take her away.

Eddie's on the street?

Yeah, he's been in and out of rehab.

And since our dad died, he's been having... Excuse me, I'm actually on a

tight schedule.

This will only take a second.

My schedule, not yours.

I'm already... Get out and hail a cab.

Maybe I can help you with it.

It's fine.

It'll be fine.

It'll be dark soon.

Yeah, and I'll be going home soon.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah.

I just want my brother, all right? I don't know who your brother is. I don't

know what you're talking about.

Notice the meter doesn't stop when you decide to visit with your friends.

Don't tip me.

Yeah, but there was a chance of that happening.

What the? Stay down.

What the hell are you talking about? Get down. On the floor.

Put the gun away.

Mind your own business, cabbie. Put the gun away.

Gun disappear as soon as she do.

She's coming with me. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. Not until the stupid punk tells

me where my brother is.

What'd you say, bitch? What?

All right, look.

She may be annoying to you, but to Philly PD, she is white, she's

and she's pretty enough to draw plenty of headlines.

We best explain to your shorty, I don't do nothing for no one I don't get paid

first. If she come up in my face again, it ain't just going to be for show.

All right?

Let me write it down.

You sure

you

don't need any help?

Read in the paper.

Said you got thrown from the force because you stole from some dealers.

Yeah.

I don't believe it.

My wife did.

And she knows me a whole lot better than you do.

Yeah?

How long has Teddy been using?

I don't know.

He's doing great for a while, but then he moved back out.

Said he was too old to be living with his sister.

He's right.

He's not the same kid you coached, Mike.

How many times did you manage to talk him into rehab?

Four times.

What's the longest he stayed before he checked himself out?

Three days.

Well, nothing's going to change. He's got no other choice.

You've got to let him hit bottom.

Where do you think he is now?

He's living on the street.

He's begging, he's stealing, and God knows what else.

They're supposed to take care of him.

Give me 20 bucks.

Why? Because that's how much it costs.

So much what costs? 20.

You think if you buy drugs from Omar, he'll tell you where Teddy is? No,

not giving anybody anything.

But he's got dealers on every corner.

There's only a few places to relax.

You got 20?

Man, I'm all part of your questions. What the hell you got? I got a 20.

Come on, Papa, you're gonna need at least a 40 to make it through the night.

Just take his money, D. Yo, I got this, Trey.

All right.

I need a place.

Man, you got a place. The damn street, that's your place.

Why you want to sweat me? You've got my money.

He means we got all we need. Step.

Oh, come on, man.

There's got to be some place.

Give me a dog that needs a roof over his head sometime.

Don't you, baby?

Come on, man. Don't make me beg.

Why don't you kiss his ass?

You want your works? A roof?

All you got to do is give my boy Tyson here a little kiss.

Now you'll send me somewhere, right? You ain't playing.

Nah, man, I ain't going through that. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

You're taking him off that?

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he's real friendly. Come on, papi man, don't do

man. A fix ain't worth your nods.

Here you go.

That's it, that's it.

Check him out, baby.

That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, baby.

Get him, boy.

Get him, boy. Get him, boy. Come on, Tyson. Come on, Tyson.

Come on, Tyson.

Watch my door, man. Watch my door.

Give me the damn address.

Hey, Teddy.

Yeah.

How you doing?

Yeah, super. Come on. Oh, come on, Mom. There's no school today.

Oh,

Christ.

I'm not going to jail.

Keep walking. Keep your mouth shut.

What's up?

Just walking.

Forget your shoes?

Not exactly.

So where are they?

Look, we're clean. I just want to take my friend home.

Now, when you say clean, I take it you're not talking about matters of

hygiene, are you?

Damn it.

You guys are new to this, aren't you?

What?

Nothing. It was stupid. Can I go? No.

Yeah, you can go.

Now.

Come on, tell me. I can always use some constructive criticism. I was

disrespectful.

I apologize.

Can I go?

See?

Isn't it easier when you deal with the police in a polite and courteous

I wouldn't do that.

You see, that's yet another difference between you and me.

I just think you're going to have a hard time convincing Riley and IA that I

broke my toe kicking you.

If your heel print is still visible on the top of my foot.

Can I go now?

Officer Sawinski.

They're not holding anything.

Cut them loose.

Looking for the kid?

Yeah. You seen him?

Yeah, he ran.

Funny. We don't see each other in years and then twice in one day.

I miss my dad.

You touch his door, I'll break your wrist.

A day and a half?

Maybe two.

After he detoxes, maybe he'll be thinking straight.

Maybe he won't run right back.

You could go at the same firm.

Yeah.

I should quit the first time Teddy came home.

Because I would find another legal assistant job.

And when your father died, you could have stayed in college.

Let the state take custody.

Your dad would be proud of you.

Yeah. I took a 12 -year -old honors student, star soccer player.

And I turned him into a 19 -year -old junkie dropout.

You think foster care would have done any worse?

I should have stayed in touch with him.

What went on between you and me? Nothing went on between you and me.

Are you saying nothing would have happened?

I'm saying you didn't have to disappear.

I owed my wife more than I owed you.

Are you doing this to nail my sister?

Oh, busted.

Yeah, Teddy.

Just got romance written all over it. You only coached us because the

forced you all to do community work.

I was a good coach.

Don't pretend you ever gave a damn about me. Oh, gee, Teddy. How could anybody

not be charmed by you?

Now drink it. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here either. Drink it.

Thank you.

I need to speak to my wife.

She's in the shower.

How you doing?

Was she expecting you or... Yeah.

We're going to dinner and dancing.

Just get her, okay?

Look.

I didn't break up your relationship, man.

You brought this upon yourself. You're worried I don't like you?

Well, not a big concern of yours.

Go on.

Get her.

It's important.

What exactly happens to the body when you detox from heroin?

What? You're a nurse. You know what happens. What do you need?

Mike, what the hell are you doing?

Teddy Griffin?

Teddy? He was just a kid.

Yeah, not anymore.

You got to get him in a program, Mike. No, he's not going to a program, so just

tell me what I need. How about a medical degree? That's a good place to start.

Yeah, I'll get that right away. Anything else? Michael.

You know he can't just go cold turkey. He needs to be someplace he can't just

walk out. Yeah, so what are you going to do, lock him in a room for 36 hours?

Will you just tell me what I need to do today, now?

Huh? Hey, pal.

Is it Rory? Is it Rory?

Heather.

Are you going to help me or not?

One pill?

That's it?

It's theft, Michael.

Get you fired.

You should be familiar with the concept.

How long does it last?

Four to six hours, depending on his symptoms.

He's going through hell.

The clonidine's not going to help with the pain.

He just won't be so nauseous and should bring his pressure down, too.

It's one pill.

What do you think? We keep the stuff in cookie jars on a shelf?

The guy in 212 only thinks he's getting four of them today, okay?

I told you, this isn't just a wicked hangover. He should be in a hospital.

I know, I know.

I get it.

All right? I get it.

Hey, hey.

Why do you always think you have to do everything on your own?

I came to you.

Didn't I?

How's he doing?

What? Did he try to leave?

Oh, no, no. He was yelling for a while, but he calmed down.

About an hour ago.

An hour?

Yeah, he must be asleep.

Damn you, Teddy.

Hey, I never touched the door.

Son of a bitch!

You are so stupid!

Oh, God!

What are you doing? Jesse's a bullet!

What are you doing?

Jesse's a bullet! Get him! Calm down!

Calm down.

Calm down.

You got more?

No.

Ow! It's a problem.

You're going to act like scum. You're going to get treated like scum. Mike!

Mike!

I searched that backpack.

That bag wasn't in there. It was inside the house when I went back in. What, are

you dealing now, too?

No. There's 15 grand worth of dope in there. Come on, do what?

Stop! Stop it!

Come on. Stop it! Get this garbage out of here. Take it out of here.

It's not mine, I swear.

It was inside the house when I went back inside.

Those dealers, they must have pitched it.

The cops showed us.

Figured there might be a little cash or something. Oh, jeez, Teddy.

How stupid can you be? I didn't know it was a stash. I never even looked inside.

Just don't understand you, Teddy. When is it going to stop?

You make an incredible mistake. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

That pager number, Omar's pager, how'd you get it?

Teddy left this number and Omar called.

Teddy stole those drugs.

Who? Those are Omar's boys, Omar's drugs.

Teddy was the only one who walked out of that building.

They're going to come looking here.

You should have just left me alone.

You should have just left me alone.

Go to the police.

Say what?

Could you please protect us from the drug dealer we ripped off?

N -32.

So you want me to protect you from the drug dealer you ripped off?

This is a church, right?

Sanctuary, right?

Hey, Diego, come here for a second.

Come on, hurry up. Come on, come on, come on.

Take over. I gotta take care of something. And, uh, just the numbers.

need for commentary.

What are you doing?

What's your priestly advice?

Just cut bait, unfend for himself?

Be my baby.

Be.

He's an addict.

And you can quit drinking any time, am I right?

Well, you shouldn't try to save my ass either.

You know, God helps those who help themselves.

Those who don't want help, he doesn't waste much time with. Of course, if you

think you can do tricks that he can't... Right now, I just want to keep him

alive.

It's okay, it's okay.

Now take him upstairs and clear out the garbage can.

Don't leave me.

Vanessa. Just wanted him off the street. I just didn't want him ODing or winding

up in jail, and now I have people who want to kill him.

Does Teddy have any money?

Are you kidding?

Well, how much do you need?

Well, they probably paid around eight, which means they'll put it out at 15.

Dealers are only in it for the money. If we pay them back, they won't kill him.

Fifteen thousand.

How much do you have? I don't know. Less than half that.

What about credit cards?

Can you get in advance?

Yeah, I guess.

How much? I don't know. Two, three thousand?

I'm going to need more. I don't have more.

My car how much can you buy tomorrow?

Your stash is gone.

Yo, give me that. Give me that.

D 'Angelo, check it out.

The girl flushed your stash by mistake.

By mistake?

By mistake?

By mistake? Things happen.

So, um, I thought, you know, I'd make it up to you.

I'll give you nine grand.

Fifteen. Nine. I want fifteen, and I want it tonight.

I was thinking...

Nine. Tomorrow morning. Fifty. Nine.

It's all we got.

You're perturbed. I get that.

There's not much you can do.

Not much I can do, huh?

Really? Really? Yeah?

You're right.

You got two choices.

My life or nine grand.

Which one means more to you?

You have it by 10 .30.

Make it noon.

I ain't getting up early to meet with your ass.

Come on, yo.

When am I going to stop puking?

Don't know.

Oh, stop puking, Mike.

Yeah. And then you can get on with the cramps, the diarrhea, 10 ,000 ants under

your skin.

Enjoy the puking while you can.

Remember the time we played Laura Marion for the state championship?

In the hurricane?

Yeah.

Just pretend you're back there, heading a cold, wet, cement -heavy soccer ball.

I hated those guys.

Yeah, it's shame.

Remember Matucci?

He's a fat bastard.

You certainly couldn't get anything by him.

You're saying this is going to be like that?

Get my ass kicked and then...

Laugh about it later?

No, Teddy.

You're never going to laugh about this.

He took it already.

Took what? Who?

Teddy. While he lived with me.

He forged my name. Got a debit card on my account.

He cleaned it out.

$7 ,800 in three weeks.

I got nothing, Mike.

I need your help. No.

It's not some stranger.

It's Teddy Griffin.

And you obviously messed it up already.

Or you wouldn't be talking to a cop.

If we do this right, I'll be an easy caller for you.

Yeah, and we don't do jack.

I spend the day back at the district.

Maybe get a call from my wife, argue on the phone about how I listen but don't

hear, or some other crap.

What I don't do...

I'd risk my damn job to help you and some junkie you think you're all mighty

asking for.

You ain't his dad.

Hell, you ain't even his coach anymore.

So unless you're trying to get a paw on that sister of yours... Oh, give me a

break.

Fine.

I'd be glad to help.

We go down to the favor bank and you sign for a loan payable on demand.

Every day I keep my mouth shut is a day I do you a favor.

What?

You saying either I help you or you go to IAB and give me up?

You see, you misunderstand the nature of a favor.

A favor is something you do for someone else.

You keeping your mouth shut, as much as I appreciate it, you're doing that for

you.

Which means I would be a jerk to pay for it.

So you care about this thing that much?

Should be an easy call for you.

So what's she doing here? They're going to be coming for her, too.

I wasn't about to leave her alone. You couldn't just... Forget the girl.

the van?

There isn't one.

What? So who's doing surveillance?

We are.

You said the police were going to be here. The police are here.

And they're bearing gift.

You'll be lucky I got that.

They got me under a microscope.

What the hell is that?

It works. You might as well send me in with the boombox.

What if they frisk me? They won't. Well, how the hell do you know? Actually, I

don't.

Just stay where we can see you.

You stay in the open. We etch covered.

You'll be fine.

So you watch them kill me.

I mean, you won't hear nothing if the tape recorder. You won't hear nothing

until I'm already dead.

Hey, it's not for us. It's for the judge.

You just stay out in the open and make sure you get them to say it's their

before they kill you. Make sure they say it loud.

I can't do this. You have no choice.

Put me in jail. Better than screwing these guys.

You're not going to jail.

I'm not doing this.

Fine. Vanessa, nice seeing you again. Teddy.

Mike.

You can keep that.

Why don't you give him a damn break?

What the hell is this, Mike?

Huh? He's just scared.

Yeah, he is. So don't put this on me, man. I'm here.

So?

So give him one of the 20s. No way.

Mike, he's messed up. He's never going to be able to pull it off clean.

He's going to say something stupid.

He's going to run like a rabbit. He's already made it to the worst of it.

So he starts over tomorrow. No.

Let me talk to him. I'll get him through this.

I'll get him to go in, wired.

Let me talk to him.

I don't want to do this. Stop scratching.

I can't.

Just give me one fix.

Just one. The cop's not going to miss it. How many chances do you think you

in life, huh, buddy?

Your mama walked out. Your daddy died.

Your coach didn't love you.

Poor baby.

Didn't have a chance at all, huh?

Go to hell. Yeah, I'm already there.

And you were right. I don't give a damn about you.

Maybe I used to.

I don't know. But now, nothing.

Your sister, should she just go on the run?

Huh?

Go to job, sell her house, assuming you haven't sold it out. I didn't mean...

What, to get her killed? You selfish punk!

You got anything left in there at all? You got anything?

I don't care what the hell you have to do.

I don't care if you live the rest of your life looking over your shoulder.

You got her into this. You are sure as hell going to get her out.

Stop scratching.

Take a shirt.

Where is he?

If he ran, I'd lock you up.

Somebody's getting locked up. I don't care who.

There he is.

Hey, uh, I think this is Rose.

Uh, somebody.

Uh,

I got something for you.

It's all here.

Come on in.

Come on in.

I said, come in. All right.

The hell?

Where the hell are they?

I wasn't trying to boost it. I just thought the cops would get it.

Can I go?

I thought your cabbie friend said that the bitch flushed it.

No, man.

She's trying to clean me up, you know, so I switched it. You switched it, huh?

Let's see what we got here.

Yo, man, this ain't our packaging.

I told you, man, I had to repack, you know, because of my sister.

What the hell is her problem, man?

Me?

I really got to get going.

What's the hurry?

You have anything yet? Not yet. Most of the windows are boarded. You gotta go

get him. You gotta go in there.

Shut up.

You don't need me to stick around.

Yo, if you had all it is, right?

Why are you so strung out?

I ain't strung out. You ain't strung out. You sure look strung out to me.

Well, I told you, man. My sister, she's all over me. Is you strung out or is you

not strung out? I don't know.

I just see that stuff. I want some. Oh, you want some, huh?

Maybe you could spot me some.

You want me to spot him some?

Like this is a free clinic.

Come on.

No, why?

You got to do something.

I don't want to have to go in there naked.

Hold still. He can do this.

They're moving.

Who's moving?

Hey, I can walk, man.

Why are you in such a hurry to leave?

No, I'm not. Yeah, you're making me nervous. Get in, man.

I'll be sorry.

My drugs.

I'm going to need you down. What are you going to do? Get out!

I don't know where the hell you are, but we got guys doing their best Carl Lewis

imitation.

I got easy.

Get it off me, man! You shoot this thing!

Ow, man!

You know I can't shoot a puppy.

You know what's going on, man.

You never would have caught me if it wasn't for that dog.

So what did you do with the wire, you stupid piece of shit? He took it. He

me to give him the drug. What? What? It leaked through the back door in the same

car as these ones. Yeah, he said just get the hell out of there. Run. What?

blaming him?

Huh? You blaming him?

Stop. This is why I don't help people.

They'd rather screw you over than thank you.

You're under arrest for possession of narcotics. No. It was your drug. No

no proof.

Let him go. Instruction of justice.

He didn't know what he was doing. He was helping you. He was trying to rip me

off. Mike, please.

Don't let him do this.

I can't help you anymore, Teddy.

You

did

this.

You.

No one else.

If only he had listened to everybody.

Anybody.

Why couldn't he just trust you?

It was his first offense.

He'll be out in 18 months.

And who knows?

Well, maybe he was lucky that he went in without the wire.

He's going to jail.

My brother is going to jail.

You saw how he was.

You know, this might be his only chance of getting cleaned up.

How did it wind up like this?

How did we wind up alone?

Bad luck doesn't seem like a good enough answer, does it?

I need to get back to work.

Yeah.

I've taken up enough of your time.

Thanks for trying to help Teddy.

I'll call.

Make sure you're okay.
