Original subtitles

Narrator: You're looking at gary, indiana, usa.

A city with the highest murder rate in america, maybe the world.

A factory town that somehow became a gang town.

Back in the '50s, the community was supported by the us steel mill.

It was damn hard work, but people raised their families well.

Then just 20 years later, without warning,

Us steel shut down 70% of the mill.

At first the workers thought it was temporary.

But it wasn't.

Their savings went, unemployment ran out

And slowly the former steel workers

Lost the last two things they had left,

Their pride and their hope.

And that has been the inheritance of the children of gary.

This was the palace movie theater.

The last movie that played here was star wars.

That's the bakery.

It used to make the best damn glazed and chocolate donuts in town.

That's where hanes restaurant once stood.

They had the best barbecued ribs.

This is the memorial auditorium,

Home of two state basketball championships.

More than 350,000 back then.

Now there's only 150,000 left that still call gary their home.

This abandoned steel mill is now headquarters to

A gang called the diablos.

And the old train depot is a hangout

For their rivals, the rebels.

(people chattering)

Hey, punk!

Fuck you, man!

What's up, punk? You ready to play ball? Shut up!

You're so goddamn weak!

I should knock your ass outside!

Huh? Huh? Huh? Shoot! Shoot!

(all exclaiming)

Shit!

I don't know where he's from, but that shit's not right.

(shouting)

Rebs!

Spy: Come here, man. Nice game, man.

Get the fuck out of my face!

What's up, man? How you doing?

You did good out there.

Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Where'd you learn to play like that?

Just a little something i picked up on the street. You know. That's all.

You gonna come back again?

Give us a chance to win some of that paper back?

Oh, yeah, man. I got a little trip to take out of town.

But when i come back, you know, i'll stop and holla at everybody.

Uh-huh.

Kayo, give the man his due.

Thanks, man.

Up to me, you wouldn't get shit.

I'm just here to play, man. That's all. Excuse me.

You gonna take care of that punk hustler, right?

Spy: Yeah, you know i am.

Now if you're through bullshitting,

We got a lot of real business to take care of.

All that money? For basketball?

This ain't bad for a little hustle, huh, marcus?

But you didn't tell 'em you got a basketball scholarship to ucla, did you?

Now what am i gonna tell 'em for? It's a one-time deal.

I'm off. Man, i don't get you. You're crazy.

Man, what don't you get? It's easy money.

Me and brenda want to chill in style. Y'know what i'm saying?

Whatever. All that money.

I bet you were dunkin' on 'em like jordan.

(exclaims)

Did you stick your tongue out?

No, i didn't stick my tongue out,

But i was breaking 'em off proper, y'know what i'm saying?

(exclaims) man!

(laughs)

But on the real deal. You know why i'm so good though?

No, kenny, tell us. Why are you so good?

Well, it's genetics, marcus.

And if you're not born with it, you don't get it.

Ladies and gentlemen, kenny doesn't know where he got his genes from.

Back to you, brad.

I know where they came from.

Do you know where they came from?

The store closes about 7:00.

So meet me there and don't be late.

Man, i'm just gonna make a phone call to my lady and i'll be right back.

Why don't you just use the phone in the store? Bookmans'll let you.

No, man. I need my privacy

In the phone booth, you know what i'm saying?

Oh, the love birds need their privacy. Oh, how cute!

Marcus, you just want to come, so you can take notes. Cool off.

You lookin' mighty well, mrs. Dawson.

Hey, mr. Bookman.

I got it, i got it. Take a break. Take a break.

How you doin', mrs. Dawson?

Did you bring your coupons with you?

(stutters) but don't worry about that.

After the dance, (tires screeching)

Check this, i got plans you won't believe.

(gun firing)

(screaming)

Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!

I told you the bookman market!

I just sent for the police.

(screaming) kenny!

Oh, my god!

Marcus: Kenny, get up! Get up, kenny. Get up!

Don't you die on me, man!

Please, will someone call an ambulance!

Kenny! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!

(police radio chattering)

It's unreal. We practically raised that boy's mother.

These are good people. It's a damn tragedy.

Do you know if he was in a gang?

Oh, not kenny thompson!

Marcus, was kenny in some kind of trouble with the gangs?

I don't know.

Guess it would be a waste of time to ask whether you saw anything?

Why do you say that?

Nobody ever sees anything around here.

They bury their dead and nobody ever sees anything.

Is that so?

Marvin.

I'm talkin' to this detective.

So talk to me.

Anything you say is between us.

Nobody else has to know.

Suppose i didn't see the gunmen,

But i did get the license number of the car.

Blue coupe. Broken right tail light.

Looks to me like you had in mind to give me this.

These are good people.

The boy's mother, she's never been in any trouble.

She runs the beauty parlor across the street there.

(men arguing)

Was that the smart thing to do, mr. Bookman?

Probably not, mrs. Bookman. You think i was wrong?

It's got to be you, doesn't it, marvin?

Finally, it's got to be me.

And you know something? I feel damn good about it.

(yells)

Now, son, don't go tryin' to

Get your own justice. It just ain't right.

Yeah, we'll see.

Well, aren't you going after him?

And do what, honey? Lock him up until he cools down?

He's a good kid, he'll come to his senses. He just needs a little time.

This is detective waits, on the 28-29.

The blue cougar with the broken right tail light. Anything new on that yet?

Woman over radio: This is dispatcher, negative on the blue cougar.

We're still checking.

(word man playing)

(people chattering)

Hey, spy, you want me to show this punk nigger to the door?

It's cool, doc.

You better recognize, boy.

I know you, don't i?

Yeah, i'm the word man, man.

I know what's happenin' on the streets.

(chuckles) the word man, huh? Yeah.

So what's the word on the streets?

Lose the cougar. They're lookin' for it.

The old man from the grocery store? He gave y'all up.

Not mr. Bookman.

Thought you'd wanna know.

That was my favorite fuckin' store.

Why'd he do that shit, man?

'cause he's fucked up like that.

What's your angle?

I live on the streets, you know.

And sometimes i get messed with.

Well, son, we don't want you to worry about that anymore.

Ain't nobody ever gonna mess with you again.

You're one of us now.

Boy, you better watch how you... Spy: Kayo!

Burn the cougar.

No problem, i got that.

I want you to go check out that bookman store.

If the old man says he didn't rat us out, you let him alone.

If he owns up to that shit, you take his ass out.

(chuckles)

I believe in the honor system.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That honor system. I like that.

Take his ass out.

Yeah.

Is this the car you're lookin' for?

Slatten: Yes, it is.

If they know we made the car,

They know where we got the information.

(door opens)

The money's still in the till, go on and get it.

Oh, see, it ain't about the money! Hell, no!

I can make more money in a day than you can make in a lifetime, old man.

By the way, what's this old punk shit i'm hearin'

You done talk to the police about us?

Just told 'em where that boy's mother lived.

He's lying. He gave us up.

Oh, why would you do some shit like that, old man?

We ain't never did nothin' to your store.

We left your ass alone!

We paid for everything we took!

You see what i'm saying?

You shouldn't even get involved in this type of shit here.

Not much here, old man.

Every other store around here get hit but you.

We respected you. And look what the fuck you do to us!

Did to you? Why is it always what somebody's doin' to you?

It don't matter no more, 'cause you fucked up!

You see, that's what america's missing today. Balls!

It takes a lot to shoot a boy down in a phone booth, doesn't it?

This man right here? He got big, humongous balls!

Say you fuckin' sorry, man.

Fuckin' customer's always right.

(exclaims)

Ah, shit, man!

How's your ass feel now? Feeling any pain?

Big pain, huh?

Take some aspirin. Some pain relievers. Feel the pain?

Fuck this old motherfucker!

Better yet. Bobby! Bring your motherfuckin' ass over here!

Man, it ain't even going on like that.

Man, you want to be a rebel or not, motherfucker?

Come on over here, man!

You gonna bust his caps up in his ass, you hear me?

Hey, look at his ass.

You wanna get your stripes for a rebel or what?

Fuck it, man.

Kill that motherfucker by and by.

It's initiation day. You are old, man.

You gonna die soon anyway.

Quit all that bullshit over there and you just pop his old ass!

I'm god! You're nothin'!

It's time to cross the line, baby.

What did i tell you? If you don't do that shit,

I'm gonna take that gun back and pop your motherfucking ass!

You hear me?

I said pop his ass!

Come on, bring your ass off so we get the fuck up out of here.

Marvin bookman, you're a damn fool.

You just lie still, pop, and don't pay any attention to her.

Hello, moms. How is he?

He was shot in the shoulder,

But the doctor said he'd live.

And how you holding up?

I'm doin' fine now.

Sis.

Come here, john.

How you doin', pops?

Well, not goin' into the store today.

I should have made you leave here a long time ago.

Made him? When's the last time anybody made him do anything?

Pops, this place is just not...

This place was a good place.

I come here with nothin', got a job us steel.

Yeah, i remember. The day the war ended

You quit the mill with $9,500 in the bank.

Married your mother, bought the store.

If i'd stayed in the mill i might've made foreman,

But i'd be out of work by now.

Maybe living on the street like some of my friends.

People work all their lives and wind up

Sleepin' in a cardboard box in a doorway.

Is it any wonder these kids today don't want to work?

They don't even want to live to grow old.

I'm gonna get you out of here, so this can never happen to you again.

You should come back more. Your mother misses you.

Yeah. Get some rest, okay?

I got a friend in l.A. She's lookin' for an apartment close to me.

What're you talking about?

You and pops can't stay here anymore.

Well, you're just like them.

Always trying to tell us what to do.

But there ain't nothing here, mom. You're living in the past.

My johnny wouldn't talk like that.

Come on, mom, let's talk about this over a cup of coffee, okay?

All right.

Good. Let me borrow your car.

Mrs. Bookman. Oh, stay the hell away from me.

My husband had to go and do the right thing. Where were you?

You knew what those animals could do.

Mistakes were made. We got there too late.

Marvin made the mistake. Trusting you people.

I know you won't believe this,

But i'm gonna find the one that did this to your husband.

Oh, you're just a waste of time.

¶ there's some people up there hoggin' everything

¶ tellin' lies, givin' alibis about the people's money and things

¶ and if they gonna throw it away, might as well give some to me

¶ yeah, they seen and heard it, but never had misery

¶ there are some people who are starvin' to death

¶ never knew but only heard 'em and they never had happiness

¶ for god's sake

¶ why dont you give more power to the people?

¶ for god's sake

¶ you got to give more power to the people ¶

What the fuck?

What's up, old man? Store closed. We run this motherfucker now.

You better get out of here before you get hurt!

Put it back! No, don't put shit back!

We've staked claim on this motherfuckin' place, man!

I'm only gonna say it once!

(grunting)

Get out of here!

Take a look at that.

Drop your gun! Get back! Drop your gun!

(shouting)

(screaming)

Oh, shit!

Get back! Get back! Get back!

What the fuck you doin', man?

Do it! Do it! Do it! Put your guns down!

You're dead, man.

Fuck you! Be cool, man.

(screaming)

Come on, one leg! Get your ass out!

Move your ass!

(screaming)

(grunting) laurie!

You killed kenny, you son of a bitch!

Run! Get up! Get up and run! Run!

Laurie: Nice to have you back home.

John: Thanks. Sorry to hear about your son.

Well, well, look at that. Somebody famous.

Can i have your autograph, mr. Bookman?

(gangsters laughing)

Please? This market is confiscated property.

It's ours now.

You know, this used to be my favorite grocery store.

And you know when i was a kid i would come in here

And your father would give me a fresh slice of baloney.

I really liked it there so i stayed off his ass.

I protected him.

And how does he show his appreciation?

This is a very sad day, john bookman.

Well, i just canceled your charge account.

You don't want to be like your poppa.

Starting something you can't finish.

That ain't never been my style, brother.

(police siren wailing)

Police coming, man. Let's get up out of here, man!

We'll see you later, star.

That's the problem.

They got the money, they got the power and they run these streets.

And that's not even what it's about.

Hell, i remember when it used to be about getting out.

Not this bunch. They don't want to get out.

There's no place for them to go.

There's nothin' out there for them.

They are more scared of living than dyin'.

They don't cry. They don't mourn.

They just kill each other.

But that's the destiny of young people here.

I just didn't think it would happen to kenny!

So what's happening to our city, huh?

John, it's been a long time since we owned the streets.

(rap music playing)

(people chattering)

All right, fuck that, kayo.

Talkin' all that goofy shit, man.

Let me see what you got.

(grunts)

Hey, step on out, man.

All right, base.

What's up, delivery boy?

What the fuck you doin' here?

Did somebody place an order around this motherfucker? Huh?

Hell no! Give me this motherfuckin' ball!

See you later, sucka!

What the fuck you want, man?

What the fuck you want?

I was just watching.

Take your ass on over there and watch.

Hey. Hey, johnny.

Hey, man, i don't want your damn autograph. It's me, man.

(laughs)

You come back here looking for a fresh mark to hustle or what?

Hey, bubba. Is that you, man? All right.

Yeah, it's me. Still here.

I've aged a little bit, but so have you.

You better suck that gut in.

No, no. Tell me somethin', man. How is uncle benny?

Oh, well, uncle benny, he closed his candy store down a while back

And then died a few weeks later. I guess of nothing to do.

Whoa, i'm sorry.

Didn't your folks write you about it?

I don't know, man, they could have.

I just don't remember, that's all.

Oh, i see.

I haven't seen you back here at all, man.

No, no, i've been back.

Well, quickly to see your parents,

You know, fly in in the morning

And then leave right back out at night?

That way you don't have to run into us, right?

Come on. Come on, man, what's the big deal? I mean, i'm here, all right?

Yeah, you're here.

Well, look, did you think it was gonna be like it was?

I mean, you and us rebels running around drinking,

Screwing all around the place.

You thought it was gonna be like that, huh?

Well, it ain't gonna be like it was, johnny, 'cause you all left.

We ain't got enough people left here to take care of this place. Not even.

You should've come back once in a while, johnny.

Come on, man. I don't get it. Huh? What's here for you?

I mean, if you had any sense you'd get out, too.

Oh, man!

You goin' back again tomorrow and, frankly,

I don't give a fuck what you think.

Fuck you, motherfucker.

Our guest today is johnny bookman.

Local star at northwestern, all-american and nfl star.

Hey, john, thanks for being with us today.

Thanks for allowing me the time.

Damien: Hey, spy, get the hell over here!

Be cool, babe.

Interviewer: John, everyone at the station was sorry to hear

About the assault and robbery on your father.

First of all, let me set the record straight.

There was a gang shooting in front of my father's store.

Damn, he ain't so bad lookin' for an old man.

The police failed to give him proper protection.

The reports were that he was robbed.

It was no robbery. Damien: We give a fuck.

They came in the store just to kill him.

But they underestimated his spirit.

"underestimated his spirit."

I thought john bookman's father was dead.

Bobby was supposed to kill this motherfucker.

Should've let me have him. I could've done a better job on him.

He reported what he saw. Isn't that what he's supposed to do?

Now that's snitching right there.

Whole family's gone.

They deserve that shit, man.

I'm pissed off at mayor ridder, who ran on the law and order ticket

And now he's turning his back on the very people...

Wicked ass mouth.

I want to say this to those punks who did this to my father.

You're gonna have to meet up with me real soon.

We gonna get that ass, john bookman.

Interviewer: Thanks for coming down today.

Thanks for being on the show, john.

There's a phone call for you. The mayor's office.

No shit. What took him so long?

So tell me, what are you gonna do about these gangs?

(sighs)

From what i understand you used to be a gang member yourself.

A founding member of the rebs.

Yeah, that's true.

But we didn't kill people.

Yes, but you started something and it's out of control now.

Because you let it!

Now look, don't lay this shit on me!

You are pissed off because you've become a victim

Of something you started yourself!

You see, mr. Bookman, i'm afraid that is your legacy to gary.

So don't be coming in here wavin' that little cigar around

And blaming us and telling us it's our fault.

My own father worked in the steel mills

And he got himself killed on the job.

And the company settlement put me through law school.

And i came back. Now where were you all these years?

Let's not talk about me.

Let's talk about the lousy job you've done.

All right, so you think if we go out and we focus on this area

That crime is just going to dry up.

The gangs are gonna come in and stop killing each other? Huh?

Calm down. All right. All right.

Now our main concern here is the safety of your family.

So, therefore, i suggest that we set up a meeting with reverend dorsey

At the christian chapel.

What's reverend dorsey gonna do?

The reverend serves as an intermediary between the gangs.

(scoffs) what are you trying to tell me?

You're going to negotiate with these punks?

That can be arranged.

Unless, of course, mr. Bookman, you have a better suggestion.

Michael, it's a hell of an idea.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

Yeah.

Right. Okay, set it up.

And if it doesn't work, like you said, mr. Mayor,

I started the rebels, i can terminate them.

I want to thank all of you for coming.

I know you're concerned about the violence in our city.

I just had a long talk with the mayor.

And what exactly... Discussions about what he has to do.

If he doesn't do them, we'll find a new mayor.

(choir singing)

The choir can take a 10 minute break.

Reverend, you gonna be all right? I'll be fine.

You all just get some air.

(clears throat)

You requested our presence?

Yes, the mayor called me today.

And how is our friend, the mayor?

He's very upset. Especially over this grocery store business.

Oh, yeah. I heard somethin' about that.

I heard the old man had a chattery side.

Now marvin bookman is an old man.

You know that sometimes old men make mistakes.

Old men better learn, reverend.

Well, sometimes we have to reach deep within ourselves

To find forgiveness.

Perhaps i should also mention that

Johnny bookman is a very high profile person?

I met the great man. I wasn't impressed.

The media, brothers.

Now it's going to be very hard to do business in a gold fish bowl.

And the mayor can't keep looking the other way forever.

So shine him on. And get bookman on a plane out of here!

Is that your sermon of the day?

Look...

I'm just trying to keep peace in the community.

As always, you make good sense, reverend.

The rebs will talk to the family.

What else do you get out of this?

Well, i am negotiating for an expansion of my homeless shelter.

Perhaps a gesture of brotherly love

Certainly wouldn't hurt my efforts, huh?

So we'll call a truce.

You don't have to worry about johnny bookman. He understands the streets.

Sure. Brotherly love, reverend.

Don't forget to put us up for that nobel prize.

(humming)

Brotherly love, huh? I heard that, brother.

You have a nice day, rev, okay?

Johnny bookman! We saw you on the tv!

Mrs. Jones, how are you?

Still goin' strong.

(indistinct chattering)

I move like this. I fly better than jordan.

Maybe i should play for the bulls, huh, mr. Bookman?

Maybe you should try out for the toilets.

We're not playin' no riddles here, man.

Y'know what i'm saying? As a matter of fact, check this out.

I got a message for you.

At 10:00 tomorrow morning at the christian's chapel

Spyro's got somethin' on at noon for you, baby. For sure!

Well, you tell him i got the message. Okay?

But i'm a little busy right now. Maybe around 2:00, 2:30.

You sound like you got a motherfuckin' attitude or somethin', bruh!

Get out of my face, man.

(laughs)

What the fuck you laughing at, old man?

Get this motherfucker up out of here! Take his ass up out of here!

(shouting)

(grunting)

(mumbling)

Look at your motherfuckin' self now! You done fucked up!

How would you like a nice motherfuckin' scar on your face?

(grunts)

Johnny, johnny.

That's always been your problem, partner.

You pick a fight with too many people, then you just fall apart.

Oh, jake, don't bring that shit now, man.

Let me give you a hand.

(grunts)

How you been, man? Oh, man.

Problem here?

I don't see no problem. You see a problem?

No, i don't see no problem.

You punks, get your ass out of here right now! Let's go!

Go! Get out of here. Go, go, go! Brew?

¶ make me wanna holler the way they do my life

¶ this ain't livin' this ain't livin'

¶ you know the bible says

¶ we gotta be more giving

¶ what they're talking?

Something i forgot to tell you, man.

I was at home watching tv one night

And i was watching pay-per-view.

Saw your boy fight. This guy went bong!

Oh, man, don't go there.

I gave the kid a shot, he got knocked down in two rounds. So what?

Hey, yeah, right. Tell me something, you still in cleveland?

Yeah, man, i'm trainin' some new talent.

You know, john, these kids are not like us, man.

They don't want to work, all they want is money.

I got 20 years on most of these suckers

And i can still kick their butts.

Oh, whoa! Chill out, brother! (laughs)

Look, i know where you coming from, man,

But i know you didn't come all the way to gary

To help me out in some street fight.

No, man, i came back to bury kenny.

Laurie's son?

Our son.

A son.

Damn! I'm sorry, jake.

I never knew him, johnny.

Heard he was a great athlete, man.

So what happened between you and laurie?

It was over between us when she found out she was pregnant.

You know laurie, man. Strong black woman.

She made it clear that she wanted the baby, but wanted no part of me.

So did this kid know that you were the father?

Yeah, she told him when he was nine-years-old.

Look, johnny, man, i sent money, i did everything.

She never cashed my checks. I did the best i could do.

But i guess she just wanted me to know that they didn't need me, man.

I guess there are a lot of things both of us would

Like to leave in the past, right?

John. John bookman. Hey, red.

Glad to see you in here. Thank you, partner.

The fellas tell me you gave them hell on television.

¶ and throw up both my hands

¶ yeah, make me wanna holler

¶ and throw up both my hands ¶

Jake trevor, what's going on, champ?

Hey, slick. It's been a while, my man.

You mean, since you left the rebels?

Damn right, it's been a long while.

Yeah, i see you're still here, huh?

Got a little hardware store over on grant, but i'm doin' okay.

Lot of shit's changed in this town.

Yeah. Shit changes, slick. But i want to know

What's happenin' out on the street, man.

Well, if you remember back in the days we were a gang,

A protection gang, you remember that?

Yeah.

Well, those days are gone.

Now it's all about drive-by shootings and all that kind of shit.

It isn't about rocks and bottles anymore, it's about automatic weapons.

Yeah, i can understand all that, my man.

But i want to know what you know about kenny's death.

I don't shoot rumors, man.

Hey, slick.

I said i want to know what you heard, man.

All right, you wanna know? Yeah.

My boy saw kenny hustling one of the rebels over a basketball game.

Your boy saw what?

You wanted to know. I just told you.

What did he get 'em for?

300 bucks.

You're tellin' me that my boy got killed for 300 bills, man?

Is that what you're tellin' me, man?

No, no, no. What i'm tryin' to tell you is

They didn't kill him over the money.

They killed him because he was hustlin' them.

It ain't about breaking fingers anymore.

Who's running the show, man?

Just like the old days it was you and john,

Only now it's spyro and damien.

Nothin' goes down in this town they don't know about.

(exhales deeply)

All right, then i'll take care of this.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute.

I'm glad to see you and john back in the hood.

I don't know what you guys are up to,

But i'm willing to bet my last dollar

There's going to be some changes in this town.

How'd you find out?

Johnny went on some tv shows and some newspapers picked up the story.

I read it somewhere.

You know you should have called me.

I just didn't want any more killing.

What you think i'm gonna do,

Just forget about what they did to kenny?

Whatever you do, it won't be for kenny,

It'll be for jake trevor, who's always looking for a fight.

Who's always got to hit somebody because that's his way.

Even if it means making everything worse!

Give me that!

What's up, jake?

Oh, man.

I found out why they killed kenny, man.

The rebels have a b-ball racket going.

Kenny made a slick move on 'em.

Does laurie know about this?

No, she don't know about it yet.

And that's the way i want to keep it, man.

You ready to make this hit with me, man?

Hey, man, slow down. I got a meeting tomorrow

With the rebels at the church on 35th street.

You got a meeting with the rebels? What for?

Set up a truce. Start some kind of dialogue.

Oh, man, you must be out of your mind!

Damn, johnny, i never thought you would sell out!

Come on, jake. This is me you're talkin' to, man!

It ain't gonna come down that way!

Hey, man, bullshit! You know as well as i know

You got to have power to make a truce!

And where's your power, johnny?

What is it with you, man? All you want is revenge?

You're damn right i want revenge!

What i want here is a little respect!

You take this out to the street.

Have you heard?

Our good friend johnny wants to make a truce

With the people that killed our son!

And let them off the hook? No, i want them arrested and put on trial, john.

It's not gonna happen that fast.

They got a lock on the politicians. We got to negotiate.

If we don't like what they say, we go another way, all right?

Well, i wanna be there.

And i was kind of hoping you'd both be with me there.

Yeah, you were hoping i'd be there, huh?

Well, you can count me out.

Let me tell both of you something.

I know what i have to do.

Oh, jake, man, come on! Jake!

Jake, man, come back! Jake!

(exclaims in frustration)

(crowd clamoring)

(people chattering)

Where's spyro, my man?

Right there.

You want somethin', brother?

Your name spyro?

Yeah. Why?

I just wanted to see what you look like.

Right now i'm just lookin' for names and faces.

You're jake trevor. My old man told me how great of a fighter you was.

Yeah, your old man was right.

I heard of you.

Heard you were back in town. What for?

Kenny thompson.

Never heard of him.

That kid who was at the basketball... Hey! Hey!

What's your interest? He's my son, man.

And where does that leave you, spyro?

You're a dead man. You're a dead man!

Fuck you, old man.

"you're a dead man." you see me, man?

I'm fuckin' twitchin' and shit. Fuck him.

(rap song playing)

On behalf of the mayor and myself,

I'd like to thank each and every one of you for comin' here

To this house of worship

To try and settle matters regarding

This serious and tragic situation.

Now, i will be leaving you in the privacy of the good reverend dorsey,

Who will mediate all sides.

And if i can be of any help, i'll be right outside.

Thank you, mr. Casey. You're welcome.

You know, i've known the bookmans for as long as i've been here.

I've known laurie thompson here since she was this high.

Spy, damien, see, i know your folks.

And the rest of you, i know all your cousins,

Your aunts, your brothers and sisters.

So i'm standing in the middle here.

I am the mediator. So let's talk.

Let's see if we can't stop this thing.

If the old man keeps his mouth shut, we'll call it done.

Short, sweet and simple.

Done is done, fact is fact and god's truth is the truth!

That's why we're here, reverend. I want to know the truth.

Who shot my father?

I thought we were being serious, reverend! I don't want no jokes!

Now, damage was done on both sides.

Marvin bookman did the wrong thing,

But retaliation was the wrong thing, too.

Just a minute.

My husband didn't do anything wrong.

These animals killed her son in front of our store.

Hold up. You don't know nothin' about that shit, bitch.

That's pretty tough talk coming from a faggot like you

Who don't even know what sex his mother is.

Johnny, please.

Now, reverend, this wasn't our deal,

But i'm gonna throw this in the pot, and that's gonna be it.

Our boy, he missed his shot.

And we don't miss many.

Now if that old man can keep his fuckin' mouth shut

Then maybe, just maybe

You'll be able to survive on our streets.

Burn in hell! Who do you think you are?

You're nothing more than the dog shit

We wash up from our sidewalks in the morning!

Gracie, please.

Oh, quit this, reverend.

What kind of a deal is this?

We spend our lifetime working and striving for goodness.

And you sell us out to him?

And here's our deal.

(scoffs)

I want everyone involved to turn themselves in to the police.

And i want the boy who shot my husband to confess.

And maybe, just maybe,

We'll let you survive.

I'm out of here.

You can't just walk out. What the hell happened here?

I think world war iii was declared.

Haven't seen you in a while, bobby. Where you been?

I been around. You know me.

I'm always taking care of business.

Bobby, explain something to me.

How in the fuck can you miss

Hitting a man in the head

At point blank range?

I thought i hit him!

I don't know what all this punk shit about anyway!

Since when do we change how the fuck we do things?

Kayo, you get a message over to reverend dorsey.

You let him know nothing's gonna happen to the bookman family.

That's my word.

What about all the other suckers in the community?

Only the bookmans.

I say we bust out the steel, we take out the whole motherfucking family,

We take away our problems!

We wait, we'll lose.

Hey, chill, my brother.

Word on the street that the diablos and the rangers

Say we can't control our hood!

What, you wanna be in the middle of a war with this punk shit?

Hey, what's up with the gun?

What's up with the gun, man?

I can't go out like that, man! No!

You don't need to do this, man! No!

Fuck, yeah!

Punk-ass nigger.

(indistinct yelling)

(hip-hop music playing on jukebox)

Well, hello, to you soon-to-be sick ass people.

The name's kayo with a yayo.

I'm here to tell y'all from the health department

And we are now officially closed.

What, y'all didn't hear me in here?

I said we're officially closed!

Whoop their ass! Get them the fuck outta here!

All right, all right. Get them the fuck outta here.

Woman: Hey! Wait a minute! Stop!

Turn that punk ass shit off!

Weak ass shit!

Thelma: Why are you doing this?

Why? Why i'm doing this?

Matter of fact, why don't you ask the bookmans

Why i'm doing this shit?

The bookmans? Yeah, the bookmans!

You know what i'm saying?

Nub: Hey, the bookmans nice folks, man. Them the peoples.

Yuck: Man, this nigger's trippin', man.

What you niggers talkin' about? Both: Whoa!

Oh, those bookmans!

(exclaiming) what?

You fuck with them? I don't fuck with them.

Hell, no, i don't fuck with them, man.

I wanna burn their shit down, man. It's all cool, man.

They don't even accept food stamps, damn!

They don't accept what?

Come on, man. Why we need all this, man?

Why we need all... It ain't cool like that, man.

Hey, hey, hey.

Both: Fuck the bookmans, man!

Get up outta here, nigger.

Slatten: Is this the man that shot you? We found him today.

Marvin: That's him.

Mmm.

He said he was god.

But he couldn't bring himself to kill me.

And the gun checks out.

Looks like you win this one, coach.

No, no, not yet.

You got what you negotiated for.

They gave you this kid bobby.

Law of the jungle, life for a life.

Suppose i want more.

Suppose i want all of them.

Damien and spyro included.

I'd walk away a winner if i were you, coach.

They made the gesture.

I'd say accept it and walk away.

The kid was murdered. Executed.

Doesn't that bother you?

We couldn't do better than that.

Bookman, you got a conviction, a sentence and an execution.

What is your problem?

My problem is you're in my father's room.

You want to get out?

(all chattering)

Hold it!

We're still in the house of god!

I want you to remember that.

Now, i talked to johnny and gracie.

You know them.

They're just as upset about this business as you are.

They brought it on themselves.

No. No, don't say that.

They didn't bring it on themselves.

They don't go, we gotta make them go, for our own sake!

Dorsey: Annie!

How can you of anybody in this room say that?

You lost two sons to drive-bys.

John.

My family regrets the problems that you're having.

But the big question is, to survive...

Is that all you want?

You want everything to be all right.

Well, everything is not going to be all right.

Because once the gangs find out

That they can run us out

Your life is going to be a living hell.

You sure can talk the talk, johnny.

Now, you mean you want us to shoot it out with the rebs?

Well, mrs. Jones,

I'm probably a very lucky person.

Because i can afford to take my family out of here.

And if that's what you want, that's what i'll do.

But for the rest of you it's up to you to decide

Whether or not your neighborhood is worth fighting for.

Man: Well, how we gonna do that?

Woman: Yeah, tell us something.

Look...

Their power lies in their unity.

A gang works together as a team.

So that's what we have to do. (all murmuring)

We have to work together like a team.

If they fight one of us,

They've gotta fight all of us.

(all agreeing)

Every now and then god tests us.

Not in our faith in him, but in our inner courage.

Whether we're willing to put our bodies on the line.

Now i think mr. Bookman is right.

So i'm willing to follow him,

And i pray that you will, too.

All right.

What's up, dawg? Man: What's up, b?

What's happening?

All right? Yeah.

How are you doing, brother?

Heard you got trouble.

Everything's cool. What's your problem?

Shooting a kid in a phone booth?

For a fuckin' $300 hustle?

Is that good for business?

Look, the media coverage is scaring our major suppliers.

They're cutting back on the high grade shit our customers want.

Yeah, well, you let them know everything is under control.

The bottom line is that your actions

Are scaring people on my streets.

We got people with families there. Uh-huh.

We're not behind you on this.

You cross over onto broadway with this shit

And your ass will pay.

Ain't nobody paying a damn thing.

We know what's going down.

Yeah, well, i hope you do, little brother.

Our organizations have enjoyed great prosperity

And only through peace can this continue.

You better watch yourself.

Jake: Okay, brother, lay it out for us.

The red is the el diablos,

The rebs are gray and the yellow is the rangers' territory.

What's to stop them from joining forces?

The rangers and the diablos teaming up? I don't think so.

But what if the rebs think they are?

We gotta figure out a way to pit

All three gangs against each other.

Break the truce,

Then they'll knock each other off for us.

Dorsey: What if they catch on?

Are we going to fight all three gangs together alone?

Come on, reverend, come on, just wait a minute.

That's a good idea.

What we gotta do is get somebody on the inside

That can set them up.

That'll work.

And, reverend,

We need somebody that the gangs trust.

(creaking)

Who is it?

I don't know, i didn't see.

But you better take the back way out. Yeah, i think i better.

Where do you think you're going, punk?

What the fuck you're doing, man? Get off me!

Now, sit down.

What're we gonna do with this little punk?

I don't know. Since he heard our plans,

Maybe we ought to just kill him.

You know, i was thinking about shooting him myself.

(scoffs) we can't shoot him in a community rec center.

Besides, we gotta make it look like it's an accident.

Y'all don't scare me. I'm a reb.

Oh, man, you ain't no reb.

They wouldn't let a squirt like you in the rebs!

We know, because we started it.

(scoffs) yeah, when there were still dinosaurs.

You got a big mouth.

You don't know nothing, man!

You know everything, right?

I know you're gonna die with that dumb-ass plan.

Hey, kid, don't you be talking about nobody dying!

Now you just take it easy.

So, a little war wouldn't bother you, huh?

I ain't got no love for anyone.

I'm a businessman, my brothers and sister. It's all fair.

Yeah, well, why don't you come help us be more fair?

I might be interested for a price.

Okay, then. How about some guns,

Ammunition, explosives, that kind of thing?

Coach, a man who earns what you do can afford the best.

And i know where to get you the best.

Man, you can't trust him.

Yes, you can. Sure you can.

He's gonna sell you out.

Wait. Now just hear me out.

I gotta tell you something.

I did something i wish i hadn't have.

I heard that cop saying he had a license number he got from your father.

I was the one who ratted him out to spyro.

About a minute after i opened my mouth, i wished i hadn't have.

I'm sorry, man. I wanna make it up.

All right. Chill.

Still gonna cost you though.

Yeah, well, like you said, i can afford it.

It's only gonna take me about a few hours to set up this buy.

But i'm talking 12, 15 g's now.

Cash. All in hundreds.

10% of that sticks to me.

My commission.

All right, you got a contract. An enforceable one.

Dink: It's as good as done.

Yeah.

Hey, wait a minute!

I hope you know what you're doing.

He's gonna go straight to spyro.

No, no, at 10% commission

I don't think so.

All right?

(sighs)

(grunting)

See where i hit the chest area?

I don't want you to hit the stomach area.

I want you to hit something that breaks.

Like the face or the ribs or the kneecaps.

This is just like a gun.

Don't pull it unless you're gonna use it.

All right? You got that? Woman: I got it.

We're not buntin', we're following through.

All the way through, all right?

All right, kim, come on up here and try something.

Woman: Come on, kim.

Where'd you learn all this, honey?

I used to be one of the original rebels, and i like baseball.

Now, come on.

That-a girl! All right, kim.

All right, mrs. Hayworth, come on over here now.

All right.

I thought you told me we wouldn't have to do anything!

Mrs. Hayworth, now the reverend told me

That god said it's okay to be prepared now, didn't he?

Yes. Well, all right then.

I'm gonna prepare you, right?

All right, come on, let me prepare you.

All right, hold it up. That-a girl.

All right! All right! All right! One more!

Show me some more. (women cheering)

Yeah! You got it!

All right, mrs. Hayworth! Give me five! All right!

I did not know what spyro wanted,

So i brought a taste of everything.

All right. Looks good to me. We'll take it all.

Spyro and damien, they gonna love this shit.

(chuckles)

Man 1: There's a lot of merchandise there.

But because it is for the rebs,

I will give it to you for a very special price.

Only $18,000.

Fuck that. Spyro said 15 for everything and that's it.

Get it.

Fifteen thousand's what we got.

Man 2: That's real cheap for top of the line merchandise like this.

You can keep the bag, too.

It's all there.

So, are the rebs having a war or something?

Classified information, ese.

Sounds like one hell of a fuckin' party, if you ask me.

All right.

We paid for it, you load it up.

That was some pretty good negotiating we just did.

Shit, we'd have got it cheaper if you'd let me do all the talkin'.

Yeah, yeah, right, right.

You've done good, little brother. You've done good.

Nobody's gonna know who's buyin' those guns.

Ain't nobody gonna know it's you kicking the ass.

Yeah? You think they bought that?

No doubt. You know, i'm glad i ain't snitch to the rebs.

Yeah, but i didn't figure you would, man.

You're too good of a businessman for that.

Yeah, but this is my last deal and i'm outta here forever.

Yeah? Where you going?

Seattle. That's where raymond wanted to go.

He said it was nice up there.

Who's raymond? He was my brother.

He was a banger. He got killed.

I meant what i said about your father.

He always treated me decent.

Yeah. Well, i'm treating you better.

Here's your 10% commission. Fifteen hundred.

Thanks. I'm outta here. All right.

See you, brother.

(starting scooter)

Stay up, my brother.

Stay cool, little man. (word man playing)

¶ what's the word, man what's the word, man ¶

(chuckling)

All right, clyde, come up here.

You'd be surprised what you can do

When you're up-close to somebody.

You can step on the foot. Oh!

I mean, step on it, just grind it, okay.

You can gouge an eye. Just go for it, you know?

Don't pull back, he's gonna hurt you.

Or go for the testicles and squeeze! Ooh.

Oh, clyde, i'm sorry.

Well, you know what i'm talkin' about.

Okay, clyde, sit down. I'm sorry, baby.

Thank you. I didn't mean to hurt you, clyde.

All right, we're gonna do this all over again tomorrow.

Everybody just go home, relax...

See you later, okay?

Woman: Okay. All right.

(applauding)

Hello, laurie.

(sighs) jake.

You know, you looked pretty good over there.

Thanks. It's everything you taught me.

Yeah. Got a little time for some conversation?

(sighs) yeah. It's long overdue.

Come on.

(clears throat)

You know, it's a little awkward for me.

I mean, coming back this way and all. Under these conditions.

(chuckles)

(sighs) yeah.

Well, you missed a lot not knowing kenny.

You know, he was a lot like you. Headstrong.

Full of his own ways about things.

Basketball was his life.

He was gonna be a big star.

He had a plan, just like you.

Yeah, i was gonna be heavyweight champ of the world.

Oh, and i knew you could do it.

Did you?

No doubt in my mind.

You never let me know.

That's why i had to let you go.

Let me go, laurie?

You let me go?

(laughing) come on, laurie. Let me go?

Jake, i didn't wanna get in the way of your dreams.

You would've never, never forgiven me for it.

And it would've killed whatever we had.

Yeah, it's just like me. Killing things, huh?

Jake, i read all about that in the papers.

It wasn't your fault.

Those things happen to boxers.

You took a chance. It could've been you.

(sighs)

You know, it was never the same after that.

I thought about a comeback, but comeback from what?

I was a failure, all-around failure.

I failed myself, i failed you.

I couldn't even face up to you.

Especially

After how you sent me away.

(exhales)

Kenny knew all about you.

Oh, he had an album of all your fights,

And he knew you hadn't forgotten us

And that, you know, you tried to send us some money.

And he loved you.

He loved you.

I made sure of that.

But i never heard from him.

He... He wanted to

Wait until he was all grown-up.

He wanted you to know him

As a man

And as a friend.

I don't know what to say, baby.

You don't have to say anything.

You don't have to say anything.

Come here.

(sobbing) come here.

Come here.

Look at that.

The kid came through.

(whistles) i checked them out. They work.

Well, looks like you were right this time, huh?

What do you mean "this time"?

And i carried these up all by myself

While you guys were out there holding hands.

(hip-hop music playing)

I like my party!

(laughing)

(r&b music playing)

(man grunting)

Woman: Ow!

Man: (grunting) open up. Open up!

Woman: Ow!

Hurry. (screams) (man grunting)

Ah, yeah. Uh-huh. Okay.

Uh-huh, yeah. What, huh? (woman moaning)

Who's in you, baby? Who's in you, huh?

Reb: Hey, motherfucker, i see what you're doin' in there!

Get out! Come on, come on.

It's my grandmother's car, man!

In my grandmother's car with that shit!

Get out of my motherfucking car.

(engine starting)

John: So, what's the deal, man?

In the old days, it never took you this long to hot-wire a car.

In the old days, huh?

Oh, you gotta get rid of that.

Man, if they smell that cheap-ass cigar smoke,

They're gonna know you've been in the car.

It ain't no cheap cigar. It cost me a dollar and a quarter.

Anyway, i do the smoking, you load the weapons, all right?

Yeah, now that i done stashed the shit,

I gotta go load the weapons,

I gotta drive the car,

And laurie, she's gotta come up with all the plans.

What you gonna do, boss?

I'm the executive in charge, brother.

Now you're an executive brother.

Yeah.

I don't know about you, man.

(laughs)

Here you go, man, don't lose this, motherfucker.

All right?

I ain't bullshittin' with you, boy.

Okay, blood.

Give me the money, boy.

John: The rebels don't know it,

But they're declaring war on the diablos tonight.

Jake: Yeah, right.

(car approaching)

Get the fuck up outta here! Go! Go! Go!

(all screaming)

(tires screeching)

You want one more?

(chuckles) why the hell not?

Blood: What the hell is this, man?

That was damien's car!

I know that was damien's motherfuckin' car!

Damien, that's your ass, mr. Big cueball head motherfucker!

And, spyro, you high yellow bitch!

Come over here fuckin' with me and my people!

What the fuck y'all standin' around for, huh?

What the fuck is your problem?

Yeah, this means war, motherfucker!

(pop song playing)

Looks like a damn good party.

Sure enough.

The rebs hit the diablos and they're getting ready to retaliate.

Right. We're lookin' at all-out war here.

Now, listen, i don't want any of our police officers

Caught in a cross fire, you understand?

No. No, mike. No, no, no, no, no.

You are going to be here.

I'm going to be in a mayors' convention

In new orleans for the next five days.

(all screaming)

Raymond. (laughs)

Rafael.

What's happenin', man? My favorite customers.

Hey.

What can i do for you today?

We need some of that hardware, man.

Oh, i can get you anything you want. Yeah.

In four to five days.

No, see, we gonna be hit. We need it now.

I'm not the fuckin' pentagon, man, okay?

The shipment i sold you the other day, that was it!

There is no more. Spy: Who?

Some old man and this kid.

He usually rides on a scooter.

Damien: Dressed clean square? With a mustache?

That's him. That's your man.

It's that fuckin' john bookman, man.

That ex-football player.

Oh, shit, that's where i know him from!

Hey, guys, that's john bookman!

Fuck, man.

Fuck! Motherfuckers.

Damien: Stop! Stop it!

Huh? Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yeah.

Now, i know who hit the diablos!

What the fuck good does that do us, man?

Blood ain't gonna believe this shit!

You just killed the only fuckin' witness that could tell him!

What's the matter with you, damien? You going soft?

Fuck no! I'm going crazy, though!

You're goin' fuckin' nuts!

No, i'm not, man. Look, we just got to prove to blood...

Oh, man!

...That the fuckin' grocery boy and his friends

Have got those weapons, man!

We gotta go in there and take them out.

Even if it means we gotta level the whole fuckin' hood!

Yo, damien, here's this kid you was looking for.

Yeah, and his ass had $1,500 on him.

Man, that money don't mean shit,

I can always get cream!

I'm a businessman, man!

For real, damien.

I got information, anything you want to know.

I tell you, man, about spyro, kayo, that bitch princess.

Anybody, man.

We can work as a team, for real.

We can get money, man.

That's what i'm talkin' about.

This is very disappointing.

We've shown you nothing but love, dink.

And respect, 'cause we care about you.

We've always cared about you.

Say, man, what is this coming to though?

This is what this is comin' to.

Sleep well.

Little word man.

Damien: John bookman thought that he could take this town back from us.

He was wrong.

John bookman tried to cross us with the diablos!

He was wrong again. Gangster 1: Yeah, he was!

Now, we will burn this whole fuckin' block to the ground.

Gangster 1: Burn it! Gangster 2: Hell, yeah!

Burn it all.

(tires screeching)

(screaming)

Help me, somebody! Help me!

Help me! Help me!

(people panicking)

Jesus, dink.

(coughing)

(sirens wailing)

This is a real tragedy here, reverend.

All these people losing their homes.

I sure hope they got insurance.

Why would you do this?

Fuck that! You and your bullshit friends, you brought this down.

And this is just the beginning.

All right, what do you want me to do?

Yeah, i'll tell you.

Bookman bought a bunch of automatic weapons,

Hit the diablos and made it look like it was us.

What we need to know is where these weapons are.

I don't know. They moved them around from place to place.

Well, next time they do, we gonna be there.

And you see to it, or more plagues will descend.

Listen, they just torched grant street.

They killed the kid dink.

(both exclaim)

He was only 14-years-old!

Well, that's their way of delivering a message to us.

(hip-hop music playing in car stereo)

Hey, come on, man! Keep up!

You know, i'm still tryin' to get to my guns, man!

Here they come! Here they come!

Let's go!

(indistinct yelling)

I do this shit daily, boy. The name's kayo, punk!

Oh, what we got here? Oh, we got all types of army-ware!

Look at the cheaters run.

All coward-asses. Yeah, that's right.

Oh, thanks for the tip, rev.

We won't never forget this here.

You got all their hardware.

They're not a threat to you anymore.

Why don't you just let them go?

No, no, i'll tell you what.

Why don't you just run home and pray for their asses!

All right, all right. And you did good.

Okay? All right now.

Well, it looks like the reverend did his job, huh?

Right.

Well, i guess we better do ours. Hey.

You take care of yourself, huh?

Baby, you're coming back.

You know i'm coming back. I'm home now.

Kayo: What the fuck you all think you're doin'?

Who's doin' this shit? Me!

Who the one supposed to get the first gun? Me!

All niggers must be goin' crazy!

Hey, where the guns at?

I don't want this shit!

Man, give me this motherfuckin' chopper, man.

Smooth as shit!

They ought to have them loaded by now.

Laurie: They're in for a big surprise.

Give them a target.

(all exclaiming)

Jake: All right, drop 'em!

Kayo: Shoot him!

Good job, jake. We're kickin' their ass!

(laughing)

(groaning)

A little somethin' for you, marcus.

Hope you liked it.

(indistinct chattering)

(people shouting)

Damn!

(tires screeching)

Look out! Look out! Get down! Get down!

Bubba: Don't try it!

I am holding a .12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun

Loaded with double ought.

And it makes an awful big mess!

So, y'all better drop 'em right now, fellas.

Put 'em down!

Now back off!

You better listen to him!

Take a look up that alley at your friends.

They're lyin' there dead!

I said look, god damn it!

And who do you think put 'em there?

Spyro and damien put 'em there!

But where are they now?

Where the fuck are they? They're supposed to be standin' strong.

You! You're through with the rebels tonight, ain't you?

Man, don't nobody wanna hurt you all.

But you gonna get hurt. You will get hurt!

If i don't hurt you, my friends will.

Y'all get the fuck outta here.

Everybody except that guy in red. Move!

Pick up all them guns and put them in the garbage can!

Hurry up! Move!

Get them last two!

Come here! God damn it!

Get your ass outta here! Get your ass outta here!

Where'd you learn to woof like that?

All that shotgun shit, man, you scared me, too.

I even scared myself to death, man. That hand looks bad.

No, no, it's all right, man. It's been better.

Bullet went straight through.

You ought to get it taken care of.

Man, i'm sure glad i didn't have to kill none of them kids.

I thought i'd feel better about going after them

For kenny's sake, but i don't.

They're the same age as he is.

Yeah, but they came here to kill us. And they would've, too.

You got that right.

(groaning)

Damn.

These little brothers tried to burn down my hardware store.

You're lucky your little ass ain't layin' out there with them.

Look, i was just doin' what i was told to do.

Well, look, you got a new set of rules.

You just resigned from the gang, you got that?

We can't be out here alone.

Who gonna protect us?

We will.

You heard the man. Us, the original rebels.

(scoffs) rebels, it's all good.

Look here, boy.

You got a home? Yeah, i got a home.

Then get in it!

Get your little fake-ass rebel ass home! Move!

Get up!

Damn shame it had to come to this, isn't it?

(john chuckling)

Sure your hand's gonna be okay? Yeah, it's cool.

Damn, it's about time.

Bubba, you're lookin' good, my man.

Never felt better. All right.

It sure feels good all us rebels back together again,

But, damn, who's gonna go first?

We all are.

(laughs) all right, let's go. All right.

I'll be back!

I promise you! I'm not done yet!

Get to the old steel mill as fast as you can.

(tires screeching)

You know the fact that john bookman

Used all those heavy weapons on us!

That's proof in itself that he was the one who raided the diablos!

Yeah, well, let's hope blood sees it that way.

Hey, kid, what are you doin' out here?

Nobody had room for me in the car.

Where the hell are spyro and damien?

I don't know.

I heard somebody goin' to the old steel mill before they took off.

Hey, john, you know a shortcut, man?

Yeah, man, i should.

I worked at that goddamn place for five years!

If the cops ever show up, have them meet us at the mill!

(tires screeching)

I guess we better mop up.

You're gonna be all right, laurie?

Yeah, i'm gonna go find marcus.

You got it. Let's go.

I've known blood all of his life.

There should've never been any trouble between him and us.

Things ain't never gonna be the way they were before.

Jake: Hey, we gotta get to blood first, man.

John: Well, get some speed on this rat-ass car!

Man, this is not the shortcut i was thinking about!

No, no, no, you done forgotten.

Oh, man!

(laurie gasps)

Marcus, marcus.

Oh, marcus! Don't move, baby. I'll get you some help.

Don't move. Don't move. I'll get you some help.

(muttering)

Don't move.

Just stay there. Just stay there, all right?

(screams)

Get your bitch-ass up. Get your bitch-ass up.

Get the fuck up.

You must not have talked to your family about me yet, huh?

I'm the one who offed your punk-ass son!

Now i gotta do your bitch-ass, too?

You did it?

(grunting)

(screaming)

What the fuck you gonna do with that now?

Get up!

How do you know that motherfucker ain't gonna blow up in your face?

(gun cocks)

Well, let's find out!

Woman's intuition.

(grunts)

Shit! You're dead now!

(screaming)

Get your fuckin' ass up, punk!

Let's see what you got, motherfucker!

What you got, man? You ain't shit!

Son of a bitch!

You killed your son, man.

You killed my son, motherfucker!

You care about him now, huh?

You didn't even know him, man!

I know about you.

You remind me of my old man, huh.

I didn't know him, but...

You see, i'm your son!

See, you made me what i am, huh?

You created me and now you wanna kill me? Huh?

(both grunting)

(exclaiming softly)

You motherfuckin'...

(yelling)

You son of a bitch! This is it!

(gun firing)

(exclaiming)

They set us up, man! You gotta believe me!

Chill.

Mr. Bookman. Mr. Trevor.

It's time we neighbors met.

Let me explain something to you, my brother.

Just because damien's dead doesn't mean you can move in.

I won't be that far away.

Jake: I'm back home, blood.

And i'm working with him. Just so you know.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

(police sirens wailing)

John: Well, well, here they are, late as usual.

Jake: Yep. (chuckles) i know what you mean.
