Original subtitles

There is something about it

a sunset.

That burning ball of light.

A force of nature, like time itself.

When it starts to fade and darkness falls

It makes you feel insignificant.

I must own my demons.

And deep down, all I ask for is

forgiveness.

Wassup with it?

That's my dawg. Who gettin' dropped?

Who you got? You hear me?

I got five on the little kid, eh?

All right, let's see that money.

Good? Good?

Yeah, let's scrap!

Let's go, baby.

Yeah, get in there!

Kick him.

Whoo, look at him go!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, man.

Son! Oh!

Get your hands up, son!

Bitch, let's do this!

From below, man, from below!

Get in there! Man, that's easy money!

He don't want no more!

Ground him! Yeah!

Take him there! Right, take him!

All right, let's go, let's go! Break that motherfucker's ass!

You gonna take that, Stray? Let's go, baby.

Get up, motherfucker! Come on, man!

Get down!

Yeah! Gonna bust him!

Oh, shit! He's fucking broken!

Oh, yeah, motherfucker, drag him!

Oh, yeah! Get that motherfucker.

Choke his ass! Kill him!

Let's go, Stray. Let's go, Stray.

'Ima break you on somethin', Stray!

I got you, kid.

I got you.

I lost all my fucking money, man.

That's some bullshit!

Hey, Estelle, I think I found your guy.

Right, then at least, like, 20 though.

Hey.

I'm here to see Estelle.

Arm's up.

He's coming up.

Go make some noise!

We got that DJ goin' in with some heat!

Sit here.

Hey, sweetie.

Can I just get a beer? Yeah.

Here you go.

I want tequila por fa!

Hey. Hey.

I haven't seen you in here before.

It's not really my type of place.

Did you get kicked out of your regular spot?

I'm Lexus.

You wanna dance?

I'm sorry, I'm not really much of a dancer.

I mean, I could, uh,

probably bust out a worm or something,

but it doesn't really look like there's enough space,

you know?

What's your name?

I'm Stray.

Hey.

Let's go.

Sorry.

You got a cell?

You want to book me, you can go out the club.

Look, I don't really know what that means.

Can I just take you out?

Get something to eat?

Go somewhere with a bit more space?

Yo?

You didn't fucking hear me?

Yeah.

We've all heard what Freddie's doing in midtown.

Right.

Well, that's cute.

He has to understand that it's still my territory.

If they don't want to play by the rules,

they can't play the game.

Sorry about that.

You like games, Stray?

Nah.

No?

How about we play one?

Humor me.

Russian roulette?

No, I'm kidding.

We'll start with something easy

basic.

Truth or dare?

Truth or dare?

Truth.

Truth.

You've been making quite a name for yourself

in the yard fights.

Do you find knocking out bums for pocket change

a sustainable way to make a living?

Truthfully.

Mm.

Those eyes.

I used to be like you.

A fighter.

Although back then, I couldn't defend myself.

I can give you something worth fighting for.

Your ride is here.

Cuda, he's out front.

Hey, Stray.

You fight for me, I fight for you.

It's a simple offer.

I dare you to take it.

Hey.

You Cuda?

It's a nice car.

I mean, everybody knows about the Challenger,

but the Barracuda's slept on if you ask me.

That lady, she didn't mention anything about money.

At least 23 people were shot outside a nightclub.

Two of the victims have died.

Two others in critical condition.

Men wearing masks jumped out of an SUV, sprayed the crowd

You gonna fill me in?

Ronnie Fennech.

Gambling debts.

The South Beach Slugger. Mm-hmm.

And a huge motherfucker.

Why don't you go and introduce yourself?

Hey.

You got a light?

Sorry.

Hey!

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Young fucking punk!

You got me with a cheap shot!

Goddamn motherfucker.

Wait till I get my hands on you.

You goddamn motherfucker!

I got asthma! It's real fucking bad.

Hey. Hey!

Ha!

I'm gonna kill you, bitch. You hear me?

Motherfucker. You're a dead man!

You're a dead man, motherfucker!

You're a dead man. I'm a made man.

You know who you fucking with?

I'm Ronnie fucking Fennech, motherfucker.

Welterweight champion of the world, you understand?

Is that right? Cuda?

Ronnie, tonight you are nobody.

Cuda? When did you get out?

Man, I didn't do nothing, I swear.

I'm gonna get the money, all right, I'll pay her back.

I'll pay her back, I swear.

I did everything she asked while you were locked up.

Call Estelle. Call Estelle!

She knows me, man. She knows me.

You know me. I know I know you.

I know you.

You know, and everybody knows that normally,

you have been where I am right now.

Yeah.

And also, you know that where I am now

there is no space for mercy, Ronnie.

Cuda, please man.

Please! Fuck you!

He never did shut the fuck up.

You wanna pray or something?

Golf?

Golf.

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

Cuda.

Olivia.

Not like you to have company.

Hm?

So just 100 balls for you and that bad boy out back?

What time is it?

3:30.

No, Olivia.

What time is it?

Well, now that you asked me like that,

I think my watch is broken.

11:30.

That's right.

Sure thing, sweetheart.

You know I always got your balls, Cuda.

You want to tell me what we're doing here?

You know golf is about patience.

Timing.

Keeping your cool.

Obviously, you lack all of these qualities.

Shit's goofy. Yeah.

Awesome.

I want my money, not a fucking golf lesson.

If someone ask you where you were tonight

Psst, hey

Golf. That's right.

Now get the fuck out of here.

But changing topic, how was Warren?

Oh, nah. Really?

Totally, yeah, yeah, yeah. What did you do?

I don't want to talk about it.

Why not? No, no, no.

How was class?

Well, Donny was messing around like usual.

Oh, my God.

Dad?

That's your dad?

Wasn't he supposed to be in jail?

I'll catch up with you later, okay?

Can I ask you, um, what would you want for your birthday?

16 is the shit. Well, what does she like?

Well, whatever it is, just make sure that it comes

from your heart, you know?

Like something only you can give her.

Billie, um

these streets are not safe for a girl your age.

Is there anywhere I can take you?

A friend? No.

Okay.

Er wait for me here.

Hey, good evening.

Hey. Hello there!

Just a just a regular room. Mm-hmm.

And what's the duration of your stay?

Uh, just till the end of the week and

Let me see here

Maybe, maybe a little bit longer.

Oh. In cash.

Perfect.

Okay, this is for you.

Perfect.

Thank you. Thank you.

So, uh, you have a room

and uh

You know what?

Take it.

And the room has been paid for until the end of the week, so

Take care of yourself.

So how long have you been in Miami?

You got me.

There weren't too many noodle joints where I grew up.

Where's that?

Idaho.

Isn't that, like, potato country?

Yeah, blue collar.

Mountains and valleys.

Where I was from, we only had a population of about 1,000.

Kind of place that's got more churches than restaurants.

What about you?

North Carolina.

It's like, um, NASCAR country, yeah?

Yeah, but I don't really like fast cars.

Better sell my Lambo then.

So what's your name?

Stray?

That's not a real name. I'm sorry.

Lexus?

My name is Sloane.

I like it.

Come on, what is it?

Ricky.

Aw, Ricky.

That's cute.

I like it. It's goofy.

Is that a gun?

Mm-hmm.

I don't trust so many people in this city.

That makes two of us.

What do you do again?

I fight.

I wanna show you something.

What?

You bring all your dates here, huh?

Every single one of them, actually.

Nah, I just thought you needed some more space for that worm.

Nah, I can't.

Okay.

Though you did seem pretty confident last time we talked.

All right.

I haven't done this shit in years though.

Dance.

Hey.

I am so sick of this, Cuda. Enough.

Medina, please. What's up with?

Lola isn't a little girl anymore, Cuda.

She knows who her father is, who he really is.

Well, that doesn't mean that you can take her away from me,

you know? Of course it does.

Look. Oh.

It's bad enough you want to try

and buy her with some money.

What kind of money, Cuda? I I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're stained with the life that you live.

A criminal.

Well, you know, I came here because

I know.

Lola's birthday. That's right.

Her sweet 16.

And I would like to buy her something,

take her for dinner,

you know, just do normal things that a father

would do for his daughter.

I know you're hurting, but I'm not gonna let Lola

be your medicine. You got locked up.

You left us.

Remember that? Yeah, I remember.

I got locked up, yeah.

I got in jail, and when you get in jail,

that's what happen, you know?

Then you don't see anybody outside of jail.

Who is it?

Camaron Gaskelle.

A little known, somewhat hermetic artist.

Arguably could have rival led some of the greats.

Apparently never left his home.

Lived with a bunch of cats.

Hey.

You following with me, man? I saw your car.

Look, I'm sorry I wasn't professional.

Asshole!

Yeah, keep walking, pussy fuck! Look, man.

I'm down to play golf or tennis.

Whatever you want.

Hey, I really feel I can do this.

Yeah, good. Oh, Jesus.

Puta madre.

What? Turn it over.

Could be your ignition switch. Yeah.

It's your starter motor. No, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, listen.

I don't like you messing with my car.

Hey? I'll call a tow.

Patience.

Patience.

Try that. Yeah.

Whoa.

I really need this job.

Yeah, okay.

Just give me a chance.

Right, listen. I I have some work

coming up in the next couple of days,

you know, that you can help me with.

Maybe.

Hello?

Room service.

Billie?

No, no, no, I didn't get anything.

Fucking bitch!

No, no!

Shut the fuck up!

No!

No! Come here!

Bitch!

Please!

Please!

Hey.

Do you have any kids?

Yeah, a daughter.

Just your age.

What's her name?

Lola.

Her birthday's next week.

These streets are not safe for a girl your age.

Is there anywhere I can take you?

No.

Right there, right there.

See you later.

Didn't think you'd come.

See that?

You good?

You look like you didn't sleep last night.

I met a girl, and uh

Well, shit, you don't look too happy about it.

No, no, no. Not like that.

She's a child.

She was just shoplifting down there in Ocean Drive.

She's a runaway.

I gave her some money, put her in a hotel,

and uh, now she's, uh She's gone.

And I think that someone's taken her.

I mean, I don't know this girl.

Judging by what you're saying, I mean, she could be

ducking the cops, or a pimp.

Fuck, man.

Half the kids out here these days are base heads.

There is something about her.

She's very young.

She's someone's daughter, you know?

I hear you.

I just don't think there's anything you can do about it.

Cuda.

I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow.

It's the same time every week, Ling,

so don't bullshit me with that Chinese calendar stuff.

No problem, I just want to find some extra cash

for you, okay? Yeah.

One, two, three, four

Okay, no problem.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Where did you get that? What?

The money clip, where did you get it?

It's mine. It's my money clip.

No, no I gave it to a friend of mine, a little girl.

Where did you get it? Uh

He asked you a fucking question.

My friend, he gave this to me.

Who the fuck is your friend? Who is your friend?

I don't understand. Who gave it to you?

He owns a pawn shop in in South Miami.

58th Street.

It's an antique. It's a real gold

And it's mine, so don't fuck with me!

Cuda, it's Estelle.

Come to my place first thing in the morning and bring Stray.

It's important.

Yeah, I had a good time.

Yeah, no, I just

Said that, I gotta go, all right?

Yeah, okay, all right, bye.

Who's the girl?

Only just met.

She's one of Estelle's?

You have been around a while, huh?

You like her?

Think so.

Well, if you are serious about her,

you know, I'd find a different line of work.

You really think you're the one who

should be giving life advice?

Of course I am.

If you were just as

Just half as much as you think you are,

you you'd go and make a real life for yourself.

A real life? Yeah.

What do you want to make of yourself?

I don't know. No, what do you want?

Really. Think about it.

What do you want?

I want

A world where I don't have to fight for a place in it.

A life worth living?

That is good.

You know, you fixed this car pretty good.

You can try that for a living, right?

A grease monkey?

It's better than a stray dog, huh?

A fucking punk.

Come on.

We're just from South side. Excellent.

Yeah.

Look at this, the mentor and his protege.

How's he coming along, Cuda?

Uh

he's doing well, yeah.

He's doing well?

That's rare in a man these days.

And yet, you're just a boy, aren't you?

Can I get you something, darling?

No.

Thank you.

So polite.

Oh, I know, Cuda.

Why don't you dress him up in one of your suits?

They're not really my taste.

Some would say he's old fashioned,

a relic, even,

but we know our friend Cuda

Is a classic.

There's a new outfit out of midtown.

What are they running?

Everything's online now.

You've seen these kids.

Digital currencies, cyber fraud, deals on the dark web,

but they've got a good system.

Pulling in over 100 a day. So another lease?

These aren't duffel bag boys. They're independent.

It's a new world out there.

They just don't realize it's still mine.

You said midtown? Mm-hmm.

I know some people around that area.

Oh. Do you?

What do you think, Cuda?

Shall we let Stray take this one on his own?

Sure.

Suit yourself.

I have something to do, anyway.

Hey!

What the fuck, man?

What the fuck, what are you

Where is she?

I don't know what you're talking about, man!

Freddie! It was Freddie's guy!

Where do I find Freddie?

There's an old cookie factory in the industrial block!

Midtown.

Come on, please, I swear, I don't know anything!

I had nothing to do with it!

You have everything to do with it.

What are you doing here?

Estelle said I could handle this.

Well

She told me to keep an eye on you.

Freddie?

No, wait

Stay down, bitch!

On your fucking knees! No!

Take that shit, you nasty mother fuck!

You like what you see?

No, no, no more, stop.

Shit, look who it is.

'Sup, Pay-Check?

You lost, Stray?

This Estelle's people? Mm-hmm.

Take a seat.

Thank you.

You got to make this quick.

Who the fuck are you supposed to be?

This one of them scrappers from the boatyard fights.

Took a bite out of Big Philly last week.

He don't look like much to me.

Shit, but he fight like a dog, you hear me?

Your boss,

she got some crazy ideas in that head of hers.

Talking like she trying to take a cut of my shit.

Now, look.

Looks like you've been around the game a long time.

What you think about that?

You don't stay in the game this long

without playing by the rules.

Motherfucker, this is a trap house.

That's right.

It ain't no rules.

I wouldn't be sitting where I am today if I played by the

Rules.

You know, it

looks real nice,

you know, from over here.

It's beautiful.

We met before?

You do a bit in Santa Rosa?

I remember you.

Barracuda motherfucker.

Used to run with them Latin Kings

until they flipped on you.

Tried to get you knocked.

But you took out three of them in the shower

on some old ice pick shit.

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Let go of me!

You set me up!

You fucking piece of shit!

You fucking piece of shit!

Let me out!

What up, kill a?

You fucking You fucking piece of shit!

You see something you like?

You see, I got all type of girls.

Black girls, white girls

Please, please, please, stop.

Little girls.

Everybody got their poison, you hear me?

Me, I like it when they got a little bit of fight in them,

you hear me?

Stray, tell this, eh

silly fucking white boy

I hear him just fine.

Hey, man, shut the fuck up before I split that wig

of yours, motherfucker.

You done?

Andre.

Bring my bag.

All of it.

Dre.

If you motherfuckers knew how to use crypto,

I wouldn't ever have to see you two assholes again.

This cash shit?

Man, this shit fucking dead.

It's all there.

Good. Gentlemen, my lady.

Yo.

I'ma catch you later, Cuda.

Sure.

Yo, what the fuck was that all about?

You almost got us killed with that shit.

Yeah.

Cuda.

Those are some dangerous people.

They do fucked up shit, man.

That was the girl.

Who? Billie.

The runaway I dropped at the hotel?

No, could've been someone else

Yeah, she's 15 years old, you know that?

Fuck. I can't leave her there.

Man, I thought that shit only happened in, like, Russia.

Webcam factories, man.

It's like those girls we saw.

They're forced to stream on the internet

to creeps all over the world.

Doing what?

Dark, dark stuff.

People pay all types of money

for the most fucked up shit, huh?

Fuckers.

I'll see you upstairs.

Hey!

Let's not even talk about that.

What?

I don't know, like, I was just very determined in life.

I didn't want to break up with him

because he was so good to me.

Like, he even comforted me when I broke up with him,

which was, like, Oh, my God

Lexus.

Come to the red room right away.

Do you know how special you are to me?

How important?

No one cares about you

like I do.

Not even close.

I love you.

You belong with me.

He belongs to me.

Remember that.

Ricky.

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Just didn't get much sleep last night.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's okay.

I'm just thinking everything that's happened with Estelle.

What she's offering me.

Yeah, Estelle has that effect on people.

But she's dangerous.

Oh, shit. What time is it?

Um

We slept in. No.

You slept in.

I'm going to be late for work.

How much is in there?

Half a mil.

Frank moving in to the end zone.

Three yard touchdown run, and Miami scores!

Cuda, shouldn't you be on a beach somewhere

sipping a Piña colada with one of those

cute little umbrellas?

Are you aware of what's going on in midtown?

It's a money factory.

Oh, it's much more than that, Estelle.

You know

there's a level I thought even you wouldn't sink into.

A man who wears bloody, brain splattered mist as cologne

is going to tell me where I can and can't make my money?

They've got a little girl in there.

She's barely 15 years old.

Oh, I see.

Thinking of your sweet little Lola.

Keep my family out of your fucking mouth.

To be in my mouth

is a privilege.

No. Not anymore.

Isn't that your friend's car? Yeah.

Cuda.

Hey.

Can you just wait here for a minute?

Dancers, they can't really bring anyone in.

Yeah, all right.

It's nothing personal.

I know what kind of world it is out there, Cuda.

I've seen it, lived it.

Just like those girls.

And I survived.

That doesn't mean she will.

Do you know how deep and dark the ocean is, Cuda?

What?

All the pretty, colorful fish swim in the warm waters

near the surface, but down below

That's where the real business happens.

The creatures down below have a special type of blood

to keep them from freezing

so that they can withstand the harsh realities

of their existence

and survive.

Maybe you don't have the same blood we do, Cuda.

Maybe you never adapted to the darkness.

That's from Freddie's.

Excellent.

Doom.

I think it's time to present Cuda

with his retirement package.

Fight for me, I fight for you,

and I'll make your dreams a reality.

It's a simple offer.

Motherfucker!

Kill him.

Harder.

Fuck you.

Motherfucker!

Live like a dog

Die like a dog.

Grab the bags.

Get the van.

Get out of town, but wait for my call.

I'll meet you soon.

All right, dog, be cool out here, man.

All right, be good, man.

Hey, I'm looking for a young, Black, girl,

about 15 years old. Her name is Billie.

She had these These, uh, red braids.

You seen her?

They don't really let us out of here.

All right, okay, listen.

Key use them, okay?

Get the fuck out of here.

You're a fucking dead man, do you hear me?

You hear me?

Yeah, I hear you.

I hear you.

The fuck?

Pay-Check?

Dre?

Hey, come on, let's go.

Come on, killer.

Where is Freddie?

Knew I was gonna see your ass again.

Fucked my whole shit up!

Don't even think about it.

Look at your ass.

Cuda.

I've seen a lot of shit in my lifetime.

I ain't never seen a motherfucker bleed out though.

Wonder how much they'll pay for some shit like this?

Baby girl, listen, put the gun

What are you doing? You don't need

Fuck.

What the

I'll fucking kill you, little hoe!

What the fuck

I trusted you.

You sick fuck.

I came here to

To save you.

And the whole thing ended up with you saving me.

Swear to God, I'm gonna kill you.

No, no, no, no.

You know, you you were right.

I am the barracuda.

And tonight

is not a night to kill.

It's a night to die.

Come on. Come on.

Cuda, you all right?

Help me.

You're taking her with you.

Where?

Out of Florida, out of Miami.

Get her out now.

Cuda, slow down, you're hurt.

We got to get you to a hospital.

Listen to me.

Drive north.

Dump the van, buy a car.

You have to disappear.

Yeah.

She's got no one.

She needs you.

She needs both of you.

It's okay.

You have to find your

Your place in this world.

Isn't life worth living?

What are you going to do?

Happy birthday!

You excited for tonight?

Um, I don't really like birthdays, but

Come on!

It'll be fun. I guess.

Mom told me she can drop me off at yours around 7:00,

and then we can go to Cicciolina's.

How much do I owe you?

It's just a quick fix. Don't worry about it.

Oh, you're a good man.

I'll make sure she comes back for a full service.

Of course.

Just book in with the girls, would you?

Like, home or here?

Billie, turn that up.
