Original subtitles

My mother's mother named me Quinto.

The pain that I felt in this moment had to have been just as bad as the pain my

mother felt when she had me and died at my birth.

The guilt from killing her as an infant pains me to this day.

It was my first mistake.

In a way, I've been a murderer since my first day, which is exactly why I never

celebrate my birthday.

Committed homicide before my first breath I would take.

The kids joked.

Called me a natural born killer.

A title I could never escape.

Poverty is what the world gave to me.

So crime was something that I gave back to the world in return as a token of my

appreciation.

A cold gift always comes with a cold thank you in return.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I know they stopped me. I know they stopped me.

There's no way they didn't.

Yeah.

Yo, Quinto.

Scotty, what's up, man?

What happened to your face?

Nothing, bro.

My girlfriend's cat started scratching me when I was asleep.

Her cat?

Yeah, man. Her cat.

And that cat still breathing?

Come on, bro.

I'm not gonna kill my girl's cat, yo.

That'd have been me. That cat would have been Chinese chicken.

And they call you the natural born killer.

Only on the soccer field, nigga.

What's up, bro?

Why you call me?

You hear the news?

What news?

Come on, bro. I know you're not that much of a loser.

Apparently.

It's about Juki.

Juki? Yes, Juki.

Did you hear what happened to Juki?

Maybe.

Maybe. What do you mean, maybe?

Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't.

What did you hear?

Someone beat him up bad.

He didn't take his lick this morning.

That's what the money was, Hop.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? What do I mean? I mean this nigga stole stolen money.

Who did it belong to?

You know something about this?

Scotty, tell me who did the money belong to?

Whoa, man, don't be getting mad at me.

I'm just a messenger, my guy.

Scotty. What's up?

How do you know this?

Come on, what's up?

You know the word don't waste no time spreading these streaks.

Scotty, it's very important that you tell me who this money belonged to.

I might know something.

The gas patch you didn't answer?

Scotty, tell me who did the money belong to?

Who else?

Just Makoto's money. He was going to pay it to him because he owed him from the

debt.

And now Makoto's got everybody looking for him, robbed him, and beat up his

nephew.

Juki was supposed to deliver that to him today.

So all I know is Makoto got the call from Juki.

And somebody with a ski mask on came right through his door and gave him a

beating. And took the whole loop.

Does he know who it was?

All I know is he said he saw somebody pull up in a white T -shirt.

Hold on.

Don't you got a white T -shirt?

I gotta go.

Hey, baby.

So, tell me something good. And what took you so long for you to call me?

been waiting.

I haven't called you back because I've been watching my back.

Watching your back?

Yeah.

Why?

Uh, because my life is possibly in danger, for one. And for two, I... Do

have it?

Yeah, I got it.

You do? Really?

Yes, really.

Well, tell me, how much is it? I have no idea.

I haven't even had any time to look in it.

What do you mean you haven't looked in it?

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

That's not even what's on my mind right now.

I'm trying to survive.

I had to stop and make sure I wasn't being followed.

Quento, you're fine.

Get here now so we can count it.

Did you not hear anything I just said?

I'm on the run, Sandy.

Quento, get here, baby. I'm ready.

I'll see you soon.

So, where is it?

It's safe.

Safe where?

Do you not see the bad condition that I'm in?

You're asking about that before you even ask about me.

Um, I'm sorry, baby. I'm just worried.

I hate for you to go through all of this for nothing, and I just wanted to make

sure you have everything under control.

That's more like it.

Well?

Well, what?

Did you kill him?

Who? Yuki.

No. Well, why not? Are you stupid?

He'll come back and get you. I couldn't, Sandy.

We got into a fight, then I had to fly out of there.

Now look at me. I've been cut, sliced, my gut is hurting, my back, everything

hurts.

Quanto? Yeah.

The money, Quanto. Where is it?

I have it somewhere safe. Somewhere safe that doesn't tell me anything?

Where is it?

It's none of your concern.

I'm the one whose life is in danger here.

Nothing turned out the way you said it would. I hate that you put me up to

and I hate that I went through with it.

First of all, I am your sweet guardian angel here to protect you.

Nothing's gonna happen to you, baby.

Now tell me where it is and I'll make it all worth it.

It's in the cart.

Where's the key?

Why? Because I want to see it!

I mean, I want to bring it here so it's safe.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Oh my god, babe, it's so heavy.

Oh my god, I freaking love you, do you hear me?

Oh my god, I'm shaking, my heart is pounding.

I could seriously die right now. I've never seen this much money in my entire

life. Okay, that's enough.

Where are you gonna put it?

The only place I know is safe for sure.

My uncle's house.

We can't put in your uncle's house. Are you crazy?

He would never.

I won't even tell him where it is.

He hasn't checked his attic for as long as I've known him to have that house.

Baby! What?

I need you to look me in the eyes and focus right now.

Keep the money here.

Don't answer that. We're talking.

Yo, Quento.

Charlie, what's up, man?

Listen to me.

There's a lot of heat right now.

There's a green light on the noggin, dead or alive, for anyone that knows a

black kid with a white Tesla in town.

All fingers are pointing at you.

They know it was you, Quento.

The accusers are going around everywhere, asking about you, making

etc., etc.

The best thing for you to do is to return whatever you took back to its

owner.

Your head's on a guillotine right now. You better get it off before they cut it

off, execution style.

You hear me?

I don't know what convinced you to get yourself into this mess, but you better

come out of it alive, you hear me?

Who was that?

Doesn't matter. Put the money back in the bag.

Why? Because I said so, that's why.

What are you doing with our money?

It's not our money anymore, Sandy.

It was nice while it lasted, but now I gotta give it back.

Are you dumb?

No, I'm smart. My life is more valuable.

Whoever's looking for you will never find you here.

They already have.

Game over.

You're not giving the money back?

Oh yeah?

Who's gonna stop me?

Sandy.

Get out! Sandy, put the knife down.

No! Get out!

Sandy, I have to give back that money or my life is on the line. You ain't

giving back shit!

Now get out!

This isn't a game. You got five seconds to get out or I will cut you! Sandy!

One! I'm trying to pray! Two! They know where we are!

Three! We can both end up - Four!

So after you let her cut you... I did not let her do anything.

So after you let her cut you, you then proceeded to let her get away with all

that money that she likes to depend on without putting up a fight whatsoever?

You try getting up and chasing someone after being spliced in the gut with a

butcher knife.

That's something I'd like to see.

They said you was a natural born killer.

I have to admit, I'm disappointed.

Very disappointed in you, sir.

So are you going to help me find her or what? Because I didn't come here for the

chastisement.

Help you find her? Yeah.

Why would I do that?

Because you owed me 2 ,000 favors like yesterday. That's why.

I'll tell you what. Go to any bank because that's where you're going to

her. And when you do, she'll be cashing in.

Don't say nothing.

Hello?

Yeah.

Quenta? Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I'll tell him.

Alright.

Well, you're screwed.

What?

You have a mandatory meeting with the council tomorrow at 7 a .m. 7 a .m.?

Tomorrow. Mandatory?

Did I stutter? Why didn't you tell him that I - Look, killer.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Now you need to hurry inside and set your alarm.

You need to set two alarms.

I think Jay probably did that one.

One more minute.

One more minute, and this wouldn't have been a meeting anymore.

It would have been a death sentence thing.

I'm here now.

There's no need for any of that.

You see these empty seats?

You know why they're empty?

Because nobody wants to be around you.

You like to walk in dead.

Explain yourself.

Where do you want me to start?

If you think that we don't already know everything, you would be in

error.

But I'm a fair man.

And I believe that there are two sides to every story.

So, fire away.

Firstly, I would like to apologize to all of you.

We don't want to hear your apology.

That's what we don't want to hear.

I'll start from the beginning.

I was tipped off by a friend.

A friend?

My girlfriend.

Oh.

That there was a man on Rochester in possession of some jewelry from a

earlier this month.

How was she made aware of this?

I... Yes?

I didn't ask her, Sir McElroy.

Order, order, order, order.

Didn't thought it would cross your mind to ask her.

No, sir.

Not at all, huh?

No, sir.

You better start making sense real fast.

It was supposed to be a simple in -and -out job. How was I supposed to know who

he was and how much chaos this would cause?

And that's exactly why you don't do anything without permission.

You stole from the Yakuza.

You beat up a high -ranking member.

You thought you was going to get away with that, Skyfree?

I'm planning on giving it back.

You don't have to give it back.

Because they're going to take it.

What if I gift it all here to the council?

Will you try to help me then?

We don't want any part of the Pandora's box that you opened up.

We're fine with you keeping it all to yourself.

Quinto, for your information, with the stupid acts that you committed, even if

we gave you the protection of the Korean president, that still wouldn't be

enough.

So all of you are just okay with me being a dead man?

Okay.

Happy, satisfied.

We, the council, have called this meeting.

here today to let you know that we have washed our hands with you, Quinto.

Just like that?

Yeah.

Just like that.

So everything I've done for you all?

We thank you.

And we appreciate the sacrifices that you've made for the council.

We washed our hands of you.

We done.

It's over with.

Just like that?

Yeah.

Just like that.

Corduroy?

Chopper?

So everything I've done for you all, and for this city, and you all act as if

you've never made a mistake in your life, or did something you regret and

you could take it back?

A mistake is stepping on someone's shoes.

Hell, maybe even spilling some coffee on their shirt. But not beating up head

chief gang members in their own home and then robbing them.

Any of the requests that you have are completely useless because it's no

a question of if you'll be killed, it's when you'll be killed.

We had a vote before you even showed up.

All in favor?

Nine to zero.

So what are you all going to do?

Leave me out for dead?

All of you here have referred to me as your son at different points in time.

Tell me this.

What kind of fathers leave their sons out for dead?

To the wolves?

Without care?

Without concern?

Without giving a damn?

Or am I only your son when I'm winning championships for the city? You all know

what these people are capable of. They'll chop my head off and stick it on

pipe. Then throw it through my grandmother's window. Would they not?

I'm sorry, okay?

I apologize.

I was wrong.

Still in the wrong, but now I need your help.

Corduroy, when you needed that car back that was parked by the police station,

who did you go to?

Was it not I who took the risk with many police around and dogs and cameras to

retrieve what was taken from you?

And you, McElroy, when those young men assaulted your daughter on her way home,

who did you go to that ended up helping you seek revenge?

And you, Kenny, who was it that tipped you off about the explosives under your

brother's car?

and called you to tell him not to start it. It was me, that fool!

How dare you!

All of you!

Sit up in here and act like I ain't never did anything for any of you.

If I would have been able to take back the favors I've done for y 'all, then

some of you would be dead.

If I could take back the favors I've done for y 'all, then some of you

be alive today, here at this gathering.

I get myself into some trouble and this is what I get in return?

Zero to nine?

Zero to nine?

You mean to tell me...

Not even one of you could vote in my favor.

If I would have at least gotten one vote, I wouldn't be standing up here

yelling. If I could have at least gotten one, I wouldn't be filled with so much

anger and rage and hurt.

I feel betrayed by all of you.

Zero to nine?

What a way to stick the knife in and twist it in.

One by one.

My brothers.

Someone toss me one so I can cut myself to see if I'll bleed.

Because this can't be real.

This can't be reality. This must be a dream.

My nephew, Ranger.

He inherited a farm from his father.

I contact him, keep you hidden there.

That's the best I can do for you.

But Quinto, if anything happens to him because of you, I

swear to God I'll kill you myself.

And if you already did, I'll get my revenge in the afterlife.

The gun aimed at you?

was a metaphor.

It was symbolic to the fact that that's the only thing you're going to be facing

for the rest of your life.

So you can forget about going to the movies, your girlfriend, anything.

The barrel of this gun is going to be high. It's going to be for you from here

on out.

24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This gun you can add to your collector.

Because you're going to need all the protection you can get.

This meeting is adjourned.

Mi amor, apúrate, por favor.

Don't worry, baby, I'm almost done.

We're not gonna make it.

Hey, remember that time that I told you that I needed to talk to you about

something?

Yeah?

Well, why didn't you remind me?

You never said what it was, so...

I left it alone.

Now's the right time.

But first, I want to tell you that I am very happy with you, Quanto.

You've been doing so well for yourself, and you've been an awesome, awesome

provider.

Thank you.

Are you happy with me?

Very.

Well, I'm content.

But I want to be happy.

You're not happy?

Now, I repeat, I'm content, but I want to be happy.

Your happiness is on you, Sandy.

If I told you that there's one thing that you could do to make me happy,

you do it?

It depends on what it is.

Stay on the bed.

Why?

Just do it.

I just heard the most amazing news.

What news?

Remember that jewelry store that got robbed?

Yeah. It's safe too.

Of course.

I know where it's all at.

You do?

Mm -hmm. How?

Do you know the Japanese restaurant on Pfeiffer?

Yeah. Well, one of the chefs contacted my brother to buy his motorbike.

A chef?

Yes. A chef.

How did he know who he was? He didn't.

I did.

And you know what else?

What?

He doesn't work there anymore.

Really?

Go answer these two things.

Because I don't think it is.

I mean, what kind of cook has 14K in cash for a Kawasaki Ninja?

How did he know the cook?

We went to high school together.

He used to make our fake IDs so we could get into clubs and buy alcohol.

He was always a loser. A nobody.

I was in the passenger seat with my brother a few days ago when they made

transaction.

And I saw him, but he didn't see me.

And you know what else?

What?

I know where he lives.

You do?

He lives on the same street my friend sets a list.

I see him there all the time.

So what you're going to do, Quenzo...

First, keep this between you and me.

Because we don't want anyone interfering in our plans, now do we?

And second, I want you to go in there and take all he's got.

You're gonna take, take, take, until there's nothing left to take.

And you're sure about this?

One thousand percent sure. I mean...

Even if it's not him, if he has 14k in cash, then he for sure has value for us

in this house.

I don't know about defending.

I'm trying to take it easy.

It'll be the easiest thing you'll ever have to do.

And besides, I thought you wanted to make me happy.

I never asked you about this, but what was your mom going to name you if she

never passed?

I don't know.

I used to ask that same question all the time.

My grandma would never tell me.

She would say she felt that Quinto is the name I should be given.

And she would tell my mother that throughout her pregnancy.

But my mother refused.

Why?

Our mother wanted me to fit in this country with an American name, just like

she'd given to my sister.

So, if she never died, we'd have seen Todd and Curtis and Brian?

Not yet, I bet.

I love your name, Quento.

It's very unique.

And I don't want you to have any other name.

Thank you.

In a way, it's like...

Things were meant to be the way they turned out to be.

So you could have your name and be the man that you are today.

I don't know. If that were the case, I'd much prefer to have something

different. If that also meant her being here.

You're making her proud.

You're the champion.

The hero of the city.

And once you take care of business with Yuki, you will bring a big smile to her.

And to me.

The most important woman in your life.

Now I can be more satisfied than that.

I love everything about it.

You said I love everything about it.

How long you had it for?

A couple months.

Why you want to sell it?

I'm passing the torch.

To me?

Yeah, I've done everything I needed to.

You can never have too much fun on a bike like this.

You're sure you want to sell it?

Yeah, man.

Do you want it or not?

How much again?

14K. Got it?

Yeah, I got it.

Okay, do you have it on you?

See that car over there?

Yeah.

I got two in there watching us.

I'm just letting you know so you don't do anything stupid.

Got somebody in my car too.

You see her?

Not really.

But she's more cold -hearted than me.

And her aim's better than Katniss.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Well, looks like we have a mutual understanding.

I say so.

See that?

Yeah.

2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,

12, 13, 14, 15, 16,

17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36,

37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 52, 53, 52, 53,

52, 53, 52, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53,

53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53,

53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53,

53, 53, 53,

I know him.

You do?

Mm -hmm.

Oh.

We went to high school together, and he worked at the ramen shop.

That must be a friend or something for him to have money like this.

How much did he pay?

A million.

Stop playing.

$14 ,000.

Jeez.

Yeah, I know, right?

Not bad for a stolen bike.

How much are you going to give me?

I got you.

I ain't trying to hear them.

But as good as I've been treating you?

How much of that you got for me?

You keep taking care of me.

And I got you.

Take you to the mall.

Take you out.

Yeah, that's more like it.

I know where old boy lives.

If you want to hit him up.

You do?

Mm -hmm.

I got a better idea.

Why don't you have the other sorry nigga you would take care of?

Quinto or whatever his name is.

It's Quinto.

And yeah, I can do that.

Can we split?

Split?

Yeah, Trick, you heard me, split.

First of all... First of all, nothing. You wouldn't even know anything about

this if I didn't bring you along today.

So you can cut that out right now.

Fine, split it.

Homeboy had people all over watching us just now.

He did?

Yeah, and obviously he is somebody.

Yeah, he's from the Chung Sang family.

For real?

Uh -huh.

Yeah, I'm not messing with them.

Better make sure your boy don't get killed in the process.

Otherwise, you're not going to see nothing.

You think you can convince him to do it?

Of course.

I am very persuasive.

Well, just make sure you don't tell anyone where he is.

Why would I?

Just make sure.

Tickets to the crib.

I got this with the handle.

Alright.

I got something important.

She said his girlfriend can't fit it. Try it on for her.

Really? Yeah.

You are excited.

It looks good on you, girl. It does, doesn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, I love it. I love it. It's yours.

Oh shit, it's him.

It's Quinto.

And that's the last time you disrespect my man like that.

Alright, whatever.

Answer the phone.

Hi, baby.

Babe, where you at?

I'm with my family right now. We just left the mall.

The mall?

Yeah, the mall.

Check out my new jacket.

Do you like it?

It looks cute, right?

Oh, I love it. How much did it cost?

Why are you asking me that? Don't ask me that.

You said you loved it. You should have left it at that.

Yeah, it looks good. You better make sure not to wear it outside, though. It

raining real bad earlier.

It's real wet out there.

I know. It was so wet.

Quiet!

Ain't nobody worried about that nigga.

Shut up!

I'm sorry, baby. The phone just dropped out of my hand.

Well, hey. Come see me.

Where? Like it.

What time?

Right now.

Okay, I'll be there.

Alright, see you soon.

What's the matter with you? You dumb?

When you gonna dump that clown?

I am not.

You not?

No. Why?

Because I love him.

You love him?

Yes. You heard that. I am in love with him.

Well, you can forget about me then.

Because I'm not going to keep doing all this juggling.

Babe, we have an agreement, do we not?

Yeah, whatever.

I think he has shirts and memory loss or something. I swear to God.

Something like that.

I need you to drop me off to him real quick.

And I'll get the money for us.

Does that sound good?

Yeah, that sounds good.

That's all.

Take me to the ramen shop real quick.

What?

Just do it. I gotta see about something.

I'll be right

back. Maybe quick.

Excuse me? I said excuse me? I

have a message for Yuki, is he here?

Yuki? No, no, he doesn't work here anymore. Oh, he don't?

No, he left like two weeks ago.

Oh.

Oh.

Okay,

thank you.

What happened?

Nothing. You can drop me off to him now.

The fuck? I look like your Uber driver or something?

The fuck did you just say to me? You heard what the fuck I said, dude. I look

like your fucking Uber driver.

Relax, Buck.

This the last stop.

And after that, you won't have to worry about seeing me no more.

River.

with me so I can connect you to my homegirl before I meet with him.

What's her name again?

Keisha.

Keisha? Where's she at?

Follow him so I can take you to her.

Where we at?

This is the fastest way.

It's a short time.

See all the way back here?

Fuck. Help me! Help me! Help me!

Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!

Babe, you okay?

You good?

Oh my god, is he dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

Let's get out of here.

What's wrong?

Nothing. You faked my life.

Did you recognize him?

No, Quento. I swear to God, I've never seen him in my life.

It was not the night I was planning on having Sandy.

Well, me neither. I can't help that guys want me.

We're gonna go to Scotty's house and chill there for a minute.

Don't tell anybody what happened.

Natural born killer.

Shh. Before Twilight hears you, man.

Bro, even if she heard, she don't even say nothing.

Why risk it?

I'm not in the mood to gamble for street cred right now.

I thought you were trying to clean up your image.

I am.

I don't invite any of this.

It just comes my way.

So don't say nothing to no one.

I won't.

What'd you do with that gun?

What gun?

Good boy.

Anyway, I'm okay with y 'all staying for the night, but I don't think it's going

to be for the whole weekend.

Nah, man. Just for tonight.

Then tomorrow I'll figure something out.

We just need some peace right now.

Girl, thanks so much for the PJs.

No problem, girl. You know I got you.

Tonight's been crazy.

Yeah, I can't believe that happened.

A stranger trying to do that to you? That's wild.

Yeah, I can't either.

But don't tell Quinto I told you about it. Because, you know, he's been trying

to clean up his image.

And I've been really trying to help him out with that.

You know, he's the hometown hero after all.

So he just beat the guy up.

As far as I know, he was still breathing when we left.

I'm just glad he didn't kill him.

Because he ain't nothing like Scotty. Best believe a man put his hands on me,

Scotty would have killed him.

You think so?

Oh, I know so.

Okay.

Yeah.

You sure?

Um, absolutely fine.

Babe, what took you so long?

Can you two get a room?

Get a room?

Man, you forgot this is my house.

So nasty.

We are, ain't we?

You got that right.

Hey,

Scotty.

What's up, Penelope?

Yo, Quinto, your sister here. Come in.

Hey, sis.

Hey, bro. What are you doing here?

Just chilling here, me and Sandy.

Hey. So what's up? What's going on?

Paco got locked up, y 'all. We're going around trying to collect money for his

bail. Y 'all think I can help out?

How much is it?

Ten grand.

Ten grand?

For what?

He got caught selling some stuff. He was just trying to pay the bills. Y 'all

think I can help out?

Let me talk to her for a second.

Sis, I'm sorry, but this time I can't help you. I can't keep bailing him out

every time he gets himself into trouble.

It's not a felony this time though, Quinto.

Then what is it?

It's just a second degree misdemeanor. Just a second degree misdemeanor? Listen

to how you sound. You're minimizing.

You've become accustomed to his actions.

You're one to talk.

You know I'm trying to be better, okay?

I'm sorry, but this time I can't help you.

Quinto.

Come out here real quick.

Why? Because I have to talk to you about something.

I'll be right back, y 'all.

Where are you going?

Nowhere, just here.

Your girlfriend, Sandy?

Where'd she get that jacket?

Her jacket?

I'm not sure. Why do you ask?

Because if I'm not mistaken, which I don't think I am, that's the same exact

jacket Carlita used to wear all the time before her and her boyfriend got jacked

and killed for their motorbike.

Like the same exact one.

They were both found dead in their underwear, and the people on the news

that she was wearing that same jacket when she left the bar that night.

Okay, Penelope.

Obviously that's not Carlita's jacket. It's just a coincidence.

Did she kill Carlita? No.

Did you?

No, girl. If you don't look, you gotta stop looking at me that way.

I'm not like that anymore.

I'm trying my best. You hear me?

Yeah, Akilah, I hear you.

Penelope! Okay, I'm kidding. Can you let go of me now?

Here, just look real quick.

Almost got it. I'm pulling up the article.

See?

Let me zoom in if that's not good enough for you.

Same exact one.

Okay, that's enough.

Can you cut it out now?

All I'm saying is, I don't trust the broad. Never have, never will. Women

her give other women, especially women like me, bad vibes.

How many times do I have to keep telling you about her, Quinto?

Even ask Scotty's girl how she feels about her.

There's no point, Penelope.

Last time I checked, you're not a detective.

She probably got it at the thrift store or something.

Brother. Bro.

Little bro. My only sibling.

Listen to me. Look into it.

Because I need the 10K.

And I'm sure if I call the 1 -800 tip line, they're willing to give me half of

this info.

And I need the money.

Penelope.

What? I'm ready.

Look, you're not calling no tip line and you're not reporting nothing.

New subject.

If I'm able to get some money together for him, I got y 'all.

But this will be the last time.

Okay. Thanks, Kayla.

Stop it. Don't do that.

Okay. This the last time.

For today.

Hey, I have to ask you something.

What is it?

Where did you get that jacket?

What jacket?

The one you're wearing, Sandy.

Oh, this? I just got it yesterday. Remember when I called you?

When I FaceTimed you? Yeah, but that's not what I asked you.

I asked you where did you get it. I got it from the...

The market in Thanketh. Market on Thanketh? Yeah. Which one?

I don't remember. What's the big deal?

Why are you interrogating me about this?

Because you're wearing the jacket of a dead girl.

What?

Well, kind of.

Do you know of Carlita? The girl that was killed not too long ago?

No. Well, apparently that's the jacket everybody's reporting she was wearing

night she got killed.

Well, I don't know anything about that, but if that's the case, then I'll just

throw it away. I don't want that hit on me.

Yeah, just get rid of it.

Yeah.

Just get rid of it for me.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Hey Isabella, how are your friends?

Are you hanging in there?

Howdy, Quinto.

Howdy, Ranger.

Hey man, I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you letting me stay

Oh man, no bother.

Actually nice to have company around here besides these here horses.

Give me someone to talk to and a life into my nerves.

How are my babies treating you?

Oh, I love them.

They're so peaceful.

Yeah, they're always like that.

Too bad people aren't.

That's why I like spending so much time with them, you know?

Isn't that ironic?

How can something so peaceful at the same time be built for war?

Especially this one here, Isabella.

She's my favorite.

Yeah, she's all our favorite.

I've kind of been afraid to ask you this.

You can ask me anything, young man.

Realistically, how long are you and your wife okay with me staying here?

Quinto, as long as you like.

Really? Just find what you hear.

If it was a problem, I'll tell you. Thank you.

Pleasure's ours.

Does Vanessa, does she know why I'm really here? She never asked.

She just enjoys your company.

She doesn't care.

Just relax, man.

One thing you're gonna learn about building a farm... It's everything else

outside these fences don't matter no more.

It's too much to even worry about what's going on within these gates to even

think about what's happening outside of them.

Hi, boys.

Hey there, Sweet Pea. Hey, love.

How's Quinto treating my horses?

Really good, really good. He already made a best friend.

Oh, yeah?

Which one?

Bella.

Isabella. Isabella's my favorite.

Wow, she's one of our most friendliest horses.

Patient. She's very patient.

She'll just stand there and listen to all your troubles you got for hours.

Trust me, I know.

Isabella's her horse counselor.

I hate you so much.

Don't listen to him. He's crazy.

Yeah, what movie are you watching tonight?

Oh, it's a great one. Paul Newman as Fast Eddie and Jackie Gleason as

Fat. Piper Laurie and George C. Scott in 1961's The Hustler.

Quinto, you ever seen that one yet?

No, I haven't.

Well, get ready because you're in for a real treat.

Come on, y 'all.

Yo.

What's that on your head, man?

It's just a hat, bro.

Wow.

What?

Wow.

So you finally decided to answer your phone.

I've been calling you for a few weeks.

Not bad, bro. I'm just trying to stay low.

You don't know what this has been like.

That's crazy.

It's not personal at all, Scotty.

I thought you were dead already.

Not checked.

Is my name still floating around?

It's one thing I do know.

Old girl.

No one has heard from her or seen her.

Sandy?

Yeah, that girl.

She's been declared missing.

Really?

Yup, and I would have texted you that, but my text hasn't been going through.

Plus, that's not something you text to somebody.

Wait a second.

Did you? Did you block me?

Scotty, get out your feelings, bro.

I had to block everybody.

Even my sister, I blocked her too.

It's nothing against you.

Okay.

It's okay.

Just when you think you know it, nigga.

Give me a few weeks, you'll hear from me again.

Just hoping this all blows over.

So what do you think happened to her?

I have no idea.

Quanto!

I'm in here.

Hey, Scotty, I gotta go, man.

Don't block me again, okay?

Hey, Quinto, hey.

Hey, Quinto.

What you doing back here?

Checking on all the horses.

You're not getting yourself in any trouble back here, are you?

What trouble could I get into back here?

I'm just messing.

Ranger told me to check this way. He said he might be back here.

Yeah, I'm just here checking on all of them.

Making my rounds.

Hey, man.

You been okay?

Yeah, why do you ask?

Because you always look like you got so much on your mind.

For good reason.

What?

Nothing. I, uh, I do.

But I'm slowly learning here to let things go.

Don't go running to a peaceful place and remain there with your problems, man.

I mean, by all means, yeah, you come here with them.

But after that, you gotta release them, man. You gotta let them go.

You're right.

I honestly don't think too much of the outside world anymore.

Now, I'd be lying if I didn't say that the city crosses my mind every once in a

while. Because it does.

But besides that, nah.

I don't need it.

I like it too much here.

Your old friends.

What did they say when you told them you were leaving the city?

They said, Ew!

Girl, are you sure you want to move out there?

And I say, yeah, I do.

I've been there, and I've experienced there, and I love it there.

And to this day, nothing about that has changed.

So you've never looked back?

I haven't looked back, not once.

And I don't regret it.

I really love my life here, and my husband, and these here horses.

Well, hey, dinner's almost ready. You hightail yourself into that kitchen in

about 30 years, you hear?

I already have it in that direction.

Good. I'll see you then.

Man, no.

Not enough for me to put my money into.

You sure?

This could be great.

Yes, I'm sure.

All right.

I'll give him a call back. Let him know you're not interested, if that's how you

feel. Man, are you putting any of your money into this?

Nah, not this one.

Silly nigga.

How do you expect me to put my money in and you ain't putting no money in for

this at all?

How does that work?

Where's the Quanto?

Beat us?

We can't find him ourselves, can we, McElroy?

Now, I don't know why I don't know where the nigga at.

All of our calls, messages, ain't nothing going through.

I can show you my phone right now. Like, 20 calls straight to voicemails.

Stop!

Kubichoma Quanto's patience is running thin.

He is increasing the bounty on his head.

From 25 grams to 50 grams.

50 grams.

A lie.

If you have any information on his whereabouts, contact me as soon as

My boss is not happy.

When he's miserable,

Everyone's fucked.

Don't come here and make a threat.

It's not a threat.

It's prophecy.

Really? Really.

Ranger, come now.

What is it, babe? What's wrong?

I can't believe it.

I don't even know what pushed me to do it. I just... I just had a feeling.

Tell me what's going on.

Are you?

This is the third positive one.

I didn't want to tell you the past two days because... You knew.

Yes, I knew, Ranger. But I didn't want to tell you because I thought it was too

good to be true. And I thought this might just be a bad test because it was

cheap.

But then I took one yesterday and I was in disbelief. And then this one now.

And three tests can't be wrong. So that just means that this is... We're

pregnant.

Yes, this is it.

They're booking it.

I'm so scared.

I'm so scared.

Vanessa, Vanessa.

There's nothing to be afraid of. I got you, babe. I got you, okay?

I love you so much.

Me too.

Hey, you guys.

I'm here.

I'm ready.

You boys enjoying it?

Don't all speak at once.

You've been real quiet.

Can't tell a thing.

There's a reason for that.

That's a good thing, when people are quiet eating your food.

It's really good, Vanessa.

It's amazing.

You really outdid yourself this time.

Thank you.

I decided to try things a little differently this time.

Try new things.

Nothing wrong with a little experimentation.

Nothing wrong with that.

Right, Quinto? You agree?

I do.

It's always good to mix things up every now and then.

So, Quinto.

Yeah?

Me and Ranger have been talking, and we really like how you've been helping run

things around here.

Indeed.

With that being said, you've really built a trust with us that we usually

have with folk.

Ain't that right, Rene?

Big time.

So with that in mind, Ranger and I are planning on taking a little trip, and we

were wondering if maybe you could take care of everything around here while

we're gone.

Is that something you'd be up to?

Oh, absolutely.

I'm not asking too much of you?

No, not at all.

Yeah, see, I told you he'd say that. You did.

That's not too big of a task for you, is it? I feel like I have things pretty

down -packed.

So, you guys have fun.

When are you planning on going?

Well, we've been talking, and it's going to be about a week.

Before you came around, we really didn't have anybody that we could teach and

let alone trust.

And you, Quento, you really killed two birds with one stone.

I'm very humbled by that.

And you should be.

You should be.

I'm really glad you're helping us out. If you need anything, you have our

number.

That I do.

I'm so excited.

Me too, Leva.

So where are you two planning on going?

Tennessee.

See the hills.

Out there with all that fine nature.

We've been talking about it for years now, and...

Now is finally the perfect timing.

Well, whenever you leave, I'll do my best just like I've been doing. So that

when you come back, it'll be like you never left.

We thank you. We really do.

Life saver. That's your life saver.

Oh, one more thing.

Come on, honey, sing with me.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Quinto.

Happy birthday to you.

Now blow it out.

I really appreciate the gesture, but I told you to. I don't celebrate my

birthday.

Come on, come on, the wax is burning.

Oh my god, it whacked all over my fingers. Oh my god, it's gonna burn. Oh

god, oh my god, blow it out, blow it out, please.

Yes!

See, I told you you'd be a good sport. I told you you'd do it.

See, that wasn't so bad, huh?

No, it wasn't.

See, you've finally broken the curse over yourself.

You're a conqueror now.

You're free.

I love this song. Come on, you can dance with me.

Oh, nah, okay, my foot still ain't right.

And it ain't never gonna be. Now get up.

Oh, Quinto, help me out here, man.

Yeah, come on, Quinto, dance with me.

You want me to? Yeah, yeah, come on.

Help me with it.

A dream in my heart, yeah.

My suitcase is packed and I'm with you.

I'm on the move.

Out into the great wide open.

Best birthday ever, huh?

What the hell?

Stop it!

You got your negro sweat on me.

Did you hurt them?

If by hurt you mean dead, then yeah.

Who are you?

Hongxue, tell him who I am.

Makoto, head of the Yakuza in the Midwest district, chief general,

head king, the ultimate, 100 % pure in blood original, the

only... Enough!

That's enough of telling him who I am.

Now, I'm going to get straight to it.

Translate this for me.

I know the English language very well.

But I can only take so much of it in a day.

I prefer my own language.

My pure language.

You hurt

my

nephew -in -law.

You robbed him and left him for dead.

Yuki!

Go to the selection desk!

That's enough!

Do you think... ...that you can catch them?

Do you think so?

Would you say that you and him are even now?

That I've augmented so far?

It's a good morning, Mindy.

Lying in my presence will cost your life.

No.

So I need sips up.

Well said.

When I found out who you were, I told my man without

question. He and everyone else around him dies.

But then I remembered your name.

Kwanto.

The hometown hero.

The soccer champion.

The natural born killer.

So I said.

Spare him.

Now.

Your girlfriend.

She is a very.

Very.

Naughty girl.

Would you like to know where we found her?

Where?

In my jewelry store.

She was buying a $26 ,000 necklace

with the money bag that you stole from

my nephew -in -law.

Like a folded napkin.

She landed.

Right in my lap.

And my men.

Have had all their fun with her.

Especially home shit.

That's what they do to whores.

And now she's all black and blue and out of shape.

Not even a pig would fuck her.

She's useless to us now.

Now that I own you,

I'm going to spare your life.

On several conditions.

First, you quit your soccer team and

join my science team.

And you will try your best to help them to win it all.

Okay. Good.

Let's take a walk.

Like I said, she's useless to us now.

And also to you.

She's a faggot.

You blow your girlfriend's hair off.

You know, something occurred to me about you.

You don't have any brothers.

Lastly, your good friend, Kenny.

He told us where you were and how to find you.

Told us who I would be and how to get there.

He even drew us a map.

And I am down 50 grand because of it.

Now, 50 grand is pennies to me.

But one thing about my kind is that we don't take it

too well to nurses.

Even the small ones.

You kill him.

Then I get to keep my money.

And you get to keep your life.

Then you are home free.

And Dorothy, there is no place like home.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

my God.

How could you do that? Oh, my God. Those innocent people.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

How could you do that? How could you

do that?

Oh, my God.

How could you do that? How could you do that?

Thank you.

There he is.

Hey, Scotty.

How are you still alive?

It doesn't even feel like it.

Come on, stand up.

What? Stand up.

Come here.

What is this?

I appreciate you, bro.

Okay.

Thank you, Scotty.

Thank you.

How do you get off me now?

Where are you going now?

Hey, sis.

I thought you were dead.

I feel dead.

Thank you. Thank you for always being real with me.

That's what I came here to tell you.

I love you.

I love you too, bro. I love you too.

You gotta go.

I have to take care of something.

Quento, don't.

This one, I have to.

Quento.

Cuento! Cuento!

Cuento! Cuento!

You've had way too much tonight.

Babe, I'm just getting started.

What the hell?

What's wrong, Kenny?

Looks like you've seen a ghost.

Yo, what is going on? Like, how?

What's the matter, huh?

Expecting me to be dead?

Just like Ranger, your nephew, and his wife Vanessa?

Just kill all of us, huh, for a couple dollars?

How could you do that?

The city gives you and the council rights to protect me. Well, I win

for the city.

And this is how you do it?

Yeah, but you're getting your information from them. They're fucking

I don't know where you're getting the information from, but they're lying.

I got it from the horse's mouth, stupid.

Makoto told me everything.

Vanessa and Ranger are dead, and you're out here popping champagne bottles?

So stupid.

So Vanessa was pregnant.

Did you know that?

Did you know that she was going to have a baby?

She was pregnant. She was going to have a baby.

So fucking stupid.

How could you do that?

She fucking killed me, man.

kill me.

Just kill me.

Just do it.

Shoot me.

Just kill me.

Kill yourself.

Dear Mama, I thank you for life.

I thank you for Penelope, my dear sister you gave to me. She taught me things I

know if you were here, you would have taught me.

She taught me about true love. True love tells you the truth despite of your

feelings.

Because of her, I know how to identify the truth.

It's easy.

It's told to you when it's the last thing you want to hear, especially when

think you're in love.

or have love, the truth is the easiest thing to reject and the hardest thing to

accept.

The truth wants to be our friend, but we reject him for what makes us feel good.

The truth is the brightest light that exposes our selfishness.

Because of her, I learned that embracing the truth is what's needed to reach our

greatest potential.

I know now that you left a piece of yourself here in her for me.

You're still here.

I see that now.

Thank you.

And this is it. The goal that we decided on.

The 2024 Columbus Soccer Championship.

Last year, Quinto Ocongo did it for the Columbus Tigers.

Now, will he be able to do it again for the Tennessee Panthers?

Only time will tell.

Wendell!

Wendell! Wendell! Quinto!

Quinto! Quinto! Quinto! Quinto!

Quinto! Quinto! Quinto!

Quinto!
