When I get downstairs,

and walk in that back room,
and see that bike...

it's just, like,
"You my girlfriend."

Like, I'm
talking to her, like...

"Yeah, we're gonna tear
the streets up today."

This your boy, Stro,
right here with it,

you feel me?

You know what's up
with me, yo.

That's that bike life, yo.

M.N.C. fucking with it.

I start that bike up,
it's like a nervous feeling.

My legs start to shake.

Maybe police chasin',
maybe get hurt.

I think about everything.

But once I pull off,

all that feeling just goes out
the window.

And it's just me, the world,
the bike and the streets.

You already know anybody
want it, we can bet it.

Like I said, nobody fuckin'
with my young nigga, Stro.

M.N.C. boys, you already
know we in the building.

Midnight, it's your boy, Blax.
Let's get it.

Yo, Mouse, what's goin'
on, Mouse?

Come on, hop on.

You got it. You got it.

Ain't you supposed
to be home...

-taking care of Mama?
-That's my brother!

-What you doin', Mouse?
Oh, okay.
-That's my brother!

You wanna be
with the big boys?

I wanna be just like you
when I grow up.

What you mean you wanna
be like me, Mouse?

You're gonna
be better than me, Mouse.

You're gonna be better.

If I see that sun,
I know...

it's gonna be a good day.

Hey, yo,

we pass Winston already?

Ah! Shit.

That Baltimore Buddy Program's
a little more responsibility

than he thought.

Glad I didn't
do that shit.

Thanks for callin',

Said you're his mentor,
so I took a flyer.

So, what happened here?

Caught him on his quad.

Public street.
Detained him.

Last thing I need
is this headache

right before a shift change.

You wanna take him
off our hands?

God bless.

Just drop me 'round
this corner.

Why?

Mama can't see me gettin' outta

Gotta stash it.

You know you can sit up front.

I don't know.

Stuff you can't take
to your mama.

Things you might want a man
to hear you out on.

I'm pretty good at advice.

Shit like that.

Like a big brother?

Hey, your brother's
death was tragic.

It breaks my heart
that he never got
a second chance.

I just want you to know
that I'm here for you

and that I got your back.

Just not for police stuff.

Can we listen
to something else?

-Oh, what?
You don't like this?
-No.

I can't hear you, man.
You've got to speak up.

-What'd you say?
-I don't like this.

-Huh?
-I said I don't like it.

Oh, you said you wanna hear
what I got.

No, that ain't
what I said, bro.

Why you always leaving me?

Don't touch me again, fat boy.

Don't touch me again.
You fat as hell.

Nigga, you know
I can't go as fast as you.

All right, relax.
Don't try to eat my ass.

You're supposed

Gonna be right back.

I'm just gonna call Mom

and let her know that
I'm home alone.

But it's okay,
since you'll be right back.

Damn.

No peeking.

I already know

Okay.

This ain't enough.

You better not tell

We just wanted

What's your name?

Nicki.

You can call me Mouse.

I'm Lamont.

I stay, maybe,
just right down there.

And I'm Sweartagawd.

I'm an organ donor.

It just means
I can give you my heart.

- Oh, okay, anyway.
- Nigga, shut the fuck up.

You can hop on
if you want to.

I'm down to show you around
if you want.

Not allowed to leave
the porch.

- What?
- Wait.

Mouse, Sweartagawd.

What kinda names

You know, that's just what
the streets gave us.

You know. You know.

So, are you guys, like,

Or, like, the world's saddest
little bike gang?

Wow.

We just got called
a sad bike gang.

You got dope jokes,
huh?

Here. Stand together.
Right here.

Relax.

when it hit midnight.

Twelve o'clock.

You new to Baltimore.

You gotta go to the Ride.

There's bikes as far
as you can see.

You know, it's loud,
but it's like, um...

I don't know, it's calm, too.

It's like the ocean.

-Did you just say ocean?
-Crazier it gets,

-the more calm it be.
-You gay!

Bro, the ocean?

Bro, you sound like
you in a Febreze commercial.

-Shut up.
-The ocean?

A'ight.

You were right.
I mean, this is crazy.

I already got some good shots.

That's dope.
You got me on it,

I don't know.
Maybe if I had a screen.

Yeah.

That's right.
You ain't got no screen
on that bougie-ass camera.

-Shut up.
-Look at you
with your little camera.

Who's that?

That's Jamal
and his right hand, Queen,

The old Midnight Clique
legends.

You see all these people
out here on these dirt bikes?

Those are just everyday riders.
But Midnight Clique...

they mad different.

They got the best bikes,
the best tricks,
the best riders.

They just the best.

So, that's who you wanna
be down with, then?
The Midnight Clique?

I didn't say that.

You don't have
to say it out loud.

You say it with your eyes.

That's Blax.

I thought
he was locked up, though.

Who's Blax?

You know
Michael Jordan?

Duh.

Well, in West Baltimore,
Blax is that nigga.

What's up, y'all?

-Welcome back, nigga.
-What's up?

Come on. Come with me.

Come on, come on.

Aw, shit.

Hey. Hey, come on.

Move!

Yo, what up? You good?

Man, fuck that chopper.
This my favorite part.

Queen!

Move, move, move, move.
Now, now, now.

Stand down, Officer.
I repeat, stand down.

He smashed a brick
through my goddamn window!

This is not your call, Officer.
Now, stand the fuck down!

That is a direct fucking order!
Stand down!

Fuck!
Fuck! Goddamn it!

You don't mean that
you're thinkin' of testifyin'

against some people
that we might know?

I don't know, Charley.
There's more to this
than I thought...

Yo, Ray-Ray, G,
all of them got down
with the Clique

by just going up
and confronting it.

They did it.
We can do it, too.

You trippin', Mouse.

Why I gotta be trippin', 'Mont?

'Cause you know damn well

Eighth.
We finna be in eighth

What kids you know our age

-Stro wasn't that much older
when he got down.
-Oh, come on.

I'm serious.

That nigga always watching
the same old-ass movie.

He won't move
one inch till it's over.

Y'all know, if y'all fixed
these damn cameras,

y'all will have a better time
spyin' on us, right?

Did she just call us niggas?

Hey, would y'all stay focused

You know I'm down.
But what's the plan?

Hey, we can just go

So, we pull up, Mouse,

Well, how about this?

Y'all go get some real bikes,

-Yo, I fuckin' said dip!

Well, fuck y'all, then.

What the fuck

Yo, Queen, chill.

Y'all know this a girl?

Nah, we couldn't tell.

Let me see you twerk

Come on, Mouse.

-Come on, Mouse.
-Come on, you got that shit.
You got that.

Dumbass little kids.

Yo.

Don't be right here

It's good.
It's good. You good.

All you gotta do,

When you pull it back,

Shut up.

-So, you need a ride?
-Nah, I'm good.

-I got room, nigga.
Come on...
-Hey, yo!

Sure.
All right, nigga.

Shit. Don't gotta be
no bitch about it.

I'll hit you up later, Mouse.

Come on, nigga.

Work!

Shit.

It needs a spark plug.

And you should change
your valves, too.

You work here?

Yeah, you surprised?

Nah, it's just you...

You're M.N.C. Blax. I just...

Even M.N.C. Blax get a job
when your P.O. on your ass.

'Cause I ain't goin' back

So, a nigga

Let's see what you

Well, this shit done.

Ain't even worth my time.

Mouse, right?

-Stro little brother?
-Yeah.

Stro was a real nigga, man.

He always used
to talk about you,
telling that you future M.N.C.

Not after today, I'm not.

You see that look right there?

Don't ever let a man
see you like that,

'cause you give 'em
the power over you.

If you gotta take a "L,"
you take it with your head up,

chest out.

Like a man.

Come on. Show you somethin'.

Come on.

See, nobody in the Clique
ain't gonna respect you

till you pull up
on something like that.

Aw. Goddamn.
You got a CRF 250 up
in here?

- Yeah, a little something.
-Ah.

KX 450F.

Yeah, I'd say anybody'd take me
pretty serious

if I pull it up on that shit.

I see somebody know they bikes.

Yeah. I know enough to know
I ain't got no eight stacks

for a 450.

Well,
if you know all that,

then you know you don't need
no new bike, right?

Oh.

Shit. What's this? 125?

Yeah. You can get this
if you want it.

You just gonna let me have it?

I ain't gonna let you have it,

but, shit, you could rebuild it
if you wanna earn it.

For real?

Yeah, for real.
We ain't giving away shit
for free.

This ain't a charity,

but you know
if you work hard for it,

you could leave
with somethin'.

-What about my friends, though?
-What about 'em?

I mean, I'm supposed
to just get a new 125

and not put 'em
on to the deal?

That shit don't seem right.

What deal? We never made
a deal with your friends.

I don't think you understand.

This shit on me
and your brother relationship.

Don't got nothin' to do
with your boys.

A'ight, so, why that mean
they can't get in on it, too?

You a loyal motherfucker, man.

There's probably
enough junk over there

for your friends to build
their little bikes, man.

Just make sure you be here
at 6:30. Don't be late.

Ay! What the fuck
were y'all doin', bro?
You almost made us late.

Oh, my God, nigga,
we here. Damn.

Swear to God, I ain't never
been up this early in my life.

Ay, look.
Y'all can't mess this up.

It's a big opportunity.
For all of us.

Okay, Mom. Damn.
We get it.

Come on.

What the fuck?

Ay, look,
I'mma tell y'all one time.

The first step is make sure
y'all keep every part clean
on your bike.

Nicki.

Nicki!

Hey. I got something for you.

Hi!

Be gentle with him now.

There you go.

You like him?

Does this usually work for you?

What?

Bringing newborn animals
around to impress girls.

-So, you impressed?
-I didn't say that.

They are hella cute, though.

Is he cute enough for me
to get that number?

You could get my number...
if I had a phone.

You ain't got no phone?

Girl, what year is this, bro?

My grandma took it
when I came out here.

Damn. She that strict, huh?

She's just worried
I'm gonna turn into my mom.

Which, definitely not.

Your mom, is she why
you moved out here?

I didn't technically
move out here. Um...

Visiting, if you could
even call it that.

A'ight, well, we just gonna
have to make the most

of your time
while you here then, huh?

Uh, and since you ain't got
no phone and shit,

we just gonna have
to keep it old school.

A'ight, well, like,
when I'm coming down the block,
right, I'mma hit this joint.

A'ight, now listen again.

That mean Mouse comin'.

What's your real name?

Myron.

Then why they call you "Mouse"?

-That's a long story, bro.
-Just tell me.

-Come on, just tell me.
-It's corny.

A'ight.

Uh, when I was about
four or five or somethin',

you know, we had got a mouse
in our kitchen.

Uh, and, you know,
my mom was going crazy

tryin' to find that thing.
She would set traps and shit.

You know, goin' crazy, and...

What she didn't know was
that I had caught it,

put it in a shoebox,
and put it in my closet.

I've been Mouse ever since.

What?

I don't know. What?

Shoot.
My grandma's comin'.

Ronique?

-Hey.
-What?

See you, Myron.

Okay.

See ya.

Oh, this shit, Sophie.

I finna to be flexin'
when I pull up on this shit.

All the bitches
gonna be jockin'.

Watch.
I'm tellin' you.

I'm tellin' you.

You ain't gonna be
flexin' shit,

you don't be paying attention
while you doin' this.

-What?
-I've been seeing niggas

flex their way
right in the hospital.

For not paying attention while
they tighten their bike up.

That shit ain't
happenin' on my watch.

This shit ain't
all about flexin'

and doin' it for the look.

What you little niggas
think it's about.

What, then?

It's about freedom.

When I couldn't
get out the hood

and I was stuck on a corner
and caught up in the mix,

shit saved me right here.

Make sure
you respect that, a'ight?

Yo!

What's up?

About to go
to the spot. You goin'?

Give me a second,
Mouse.

What's up?

I know you're in here
runnin' your after-school
program and shit...

but it's a bag out here to get.

Let's get it.

I'm good, man.

Come on, bro.

We want you to get
some payment.

Shit waitin' for you.

I'm telling you,
I'm straight. Been good.

Come on, bro.

Stop acting like
you don't need no money.

It's your cut.

Take it.

That's my motherfuckin'
jam right there!

Yeah,
as good as new.

That's my motherfuckin' jam.

Ugh.

Nobody wanna hear
that old shit. God.

Y'all are bitches, look.

Y'all need to get
a motherfucking life.

Shit, I'm feelin' that one.

- Don't know why this shit.
- Coco!

-I'm tryin' to study, bitch.
-Hey, Teri.

Ladies.

Hey, Mr. Handsome!

I was looking for Mouse.

Somebody dropped off some
Ravens gear at the station.

I thought he might want
a hat or somethin'.

He ain't here.

You know where I might be
able to find him, then?

Um...
He down at the vet.

He pickin' up all kind of
extra hours down there.

Hm.

I don't know why
I didn't think of that.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe I'll run over there
and see if I can catch him.

- A'ight.
- A'ight, y'all be cool.

Hey, hey, hey!
Hold it!

You came up here
and you killed my vibe.

Could you let me get
my vibe back, please, baby?

-A'ight. Yeah, yeah, okay.
-Dance with me. Ooh.

There we go!

Don't hurt him, girl,
don't hurt him!

Watch the spin.
Watch the spin.

- Yes.
- Okay. Watch it.

Okay. yeah, yeah.

-A'ight, y'all be cool.
-All right, all right.

- A'ight. I'll see you.
- Okay, see you, baby!

See you later, boo.

-Sit your ass down.
-What?

You all up on
that man like this.

Y'all need to start having some
motherfuckin' fun, yo.

I'm tryin' to get some dick.
That's what I'm tryin' to get.

What's this?

It's for hip dysplasia.

Hip-what?

Hip dysplasia.

This little limp in her step?

-Yeah
-Happens to a lot of old dugs.

Bones get all outta whack.

Should be a'ight
if you treat it.

And how you know that?

I work at the animal hospital
sometimes.

Picked up a few things.

I guess we gotta do
my baby right, huh?

See, Mouse...

if there's one thing I learned
while I was locked up...

if you down bad, you really
find out who in your corner.

See, everybody talk
that loyal shit.

When it's time to be loyal,

everybody disappear.

You see
niggas like that?

You need to be more wise about
who you're making friends.

Somethin' your brother
should've been
a whole lot better at.

What are you doin'?

Yo, I'm a samurai.

Nigga, you a sumo wrestler.

Shut up. You ruinin'
my Zen, dude.

Ay!

Don't start this bullshit.

Ay!

What's going on, yo?

What the fuck it look like,
nigga? We chillin'.

So I guess y'all ain't comin'
to the shop no more, huh?

Y'all niggas some whores, yo!

For real. How y'all gonna
leave me hangin'?

Nigga, look!

I'm not working for free
in no hot-ass auto shop!

Swear to God,
that shit be hot as fuck.

It ain't for free.

You gonna get a bike
at the end of it.

Nigga, it's the summer!
We supposed to be havin' fun!

Swear to God, that nigga Blax
like a mean-ass principal.

Real mean.

Like a crooked-ass
soccer coach.

You letting him
Mr. Miyagi you, my nigga.

Oh, really?

Wash that.
Paint this.

Fuck all that shit!

Mr. Miyagi?

Mr. Miyagi? Daniel-san,
Karate Kid?

-Do you not know anything?
-I don't know!

It's a old movie about
this Chinese dude

that made this white boy
his slave.

That ain't what it's about!

He was training him to win.

He did. We could win, too!
Come on!

While he was doing
all that fuckboy shit, too?

Nigga, not me.

I'm tryin' to be like
them Cobra Kai niggas.

They were swipin'
nigga legs off, RIP!

Yeah, I like the Cobra Kai.

Y'all missin'
the whole point.

We ain't gonna get another
chance like this to get a bike!

No, no, no.
You missin' the point.

That ain't even
how you go about gettin'

your own bike
in Baltimore City, yo.

How you do it, then? Huh?

Like that.

Here come
Mr. Miyagi number two.

Damn.

Just that easy.

Yeah.
Came over here yelling.
For real.

- Yo, poor Mouse, yo.
- Damn it!

He real-life confused.

He don't know
how he like his eggs.

He don't know
what sock to put on first.

Smartest people
ruin your life.

Nigga thinks
he's so fine.

Man, fuck the police.

Yeah, fuck the police.

Mouse,
come sit up front.

I told you,
I ain't no snitch.

I'm not asking,
I'm telling you.

Come sit up front.

You know Tupac grew up
in Baltimore, right?

How can I not know that?

That's all you old folks
ever talk about.

"Tupac from Baltimore."
Who cares?

Nigga died, like,
a million years ago.

I saw you at the Ride.

I thought we talked about
keeping that quad

-off the main streets.
-No.

-You talked about that.
-Where you been at today, yo?

Minding my business.

Well, your mama think
you at the animal hospital.

And the animal hospital think
you out sick.

And I find you with the homies
lookin' pretty damn healthy.

Can't jerk around
your job, yo.

Job.

Pretty sure a job gotta pay.

Oh, they pay you.

When I hooked you up
over there,

I made sure of that.

Uh, barely.

Not even minimum wage.

That's because they can't.

You're not old enough yet.

They give you what they can,
when they can, off the books.

What you want me
to do with that?

You know exactly
what to do with that.

Go to work.

Keep your nose clean
and don't let me see

you on them damn bikes again.

I'm not playin', Mouse.

Do not get me twisted.

I will lock
your little ass up.

Hi. What's this?

This?

This is what happens
when you listen to Blax.

Hey, what's with
Stro's helmet?

None of your business.

Hey, I, uh...
I'll hit y'all up.

Yo!

What the fuck.

Bro, did you see
the shocks on that shit?

It was all right.

Like I was sayin'

I'm not playin'...

New bike?

It's a loaner.

Looks fast.

Whatever you think,

Trust me.

Work.

Get on.

-You got it?
-Yeah.

Hm.

It's a special helmet.

-Tell you about it later.
-Okay.

-You ready?
-Yeah.

Hold on tight.

Is this
your brother's helmet?

Yeah.

When Stro died,

my mom just throwed out
a bunch of his stuff.

Got rid of it. I told her
to let me keep the helmet...

because I know he would've
wanted me to have it.

What was he like?

Stro was
such a good dude.

Real good dude.

I mean, everybody loved him.

Everybody.

He was my mama's firstborn
and she loved Stro.

I mean, she loved-loved him.

I know she loved him
more than she loved me.

Don't say that.

I miss him.

You know, he used
to always talk about

how he was gonna
take me to the ocean.

Always used to be goin' on,
and on, and on

about how much I'd love it.

You never been?

To the ocean.

No.

What about
"The Ride's like the ocean"?

Stop trippin', bro.
That's what he used
to always say.

You're talking about a dude

that ain't ever been outside
West Baltimore before.

I know I haven't either.

And I know he probably
wanted the best for me,

but it's like...

Hey, Mouse.

Ah, man,
what you do that for?

Candid. No posing.

-The real you.
-Aw, man, bump all of that.

How do you even
work this joint?

A'ight, let me show you.
Let me show you.

Focus.

Crank. Okay, you did that...

and then take the picture.

Focus.

Crank it.

Take the picture.

You got it.

We'll go one day.

Where?

The ocean.

When are you leaving?

About a month from now.

Will you wait for me?

Mm-hmm.

Not yet.

Yo, Mouse.

You Mouse, right?

-Yeah.
-I'm D.

I used to hang
with your brother, Stro.

Yeah, Derrick, right?
I remember you.

What's up, bro?

Yeah, man, let me get
a ride on that thing.

Ah, nah, man,
it's not even mine.

-I'm just holdin' it.
-Come on, man.

Just let me get a ride, man.
I'm not goin' nowhere.

I'm just gonna be right here.
To the corner and back.

Uh...

What, you scared?
Don't be scared, bro.

I'm not goin' nowhere.

They're waitin'.
I ain't even say I was scared.
I'm just...

Well, let me get
a ride on the bike.

No.

You just goin' up the block
and comin' right back?

To the corner
and right back, bro.

A'ight.

-To the corner and right back.
-To the corner and back.

Got no space back here, man.

I'm takin' it
around the block.

Shit!

What the actual fuck
were you thinking?

Why would you even let
somebody ride that bike?

Swear to God,
I wouldn't let no one touch
Blax's shit.

I know. I fucked up.
I know. A'ight.

I wanna know why Blax
lettin' you just walk around
like shit cool.

You ain't tell him.

You ain't tell...
What are you waiting for?

I mean, it ain't like you
any less dead

when that nigga find out.

I know the nigga who took it.

What's his name, yo?

Derrick.

-Damn.
-Derrick, Derrick?

-Live around the way, Derrick?
-Yeah, that Derrick.

Yo, that boy stay
choppin' up bikes, Mouse.

That shit's gone.
Forever.

Man, I don't even know
why I be talkin' to y'all,
see...

Okay, okay,
okay, look.

What you wanna do, then?

I mean,
'cause I could find out
where that nigga stay at.

Stomp his ass into
a pavement right quick.

How's that gonna help? Huh?

Who knows? Maybe it won't.

I mean, but if you got
a Derrick pancake

stuck on the bottom
of your shoe...

At least Blax'll know
you ain't no punk.

I'd be still thinking
he a little punk.

You did let his bike get took.

Nigga, I'd rather be
half a punk who
got his ass beat

than a whole punk
who didn't do nothin'.

We with you.

What you wanna do?

Let's go.

So, you got
Blax's bike stolen,
and you ain't get a kiss?

So, what now?
You gonna call her?

Yeah, and look thirsty?
Nah, bro.

So you dud her.

Can we talk about
somethin' else, please?

I'm gonna keep it
G-real with you.

I don't like
the light in here.

It like a fuckin'
horror story, yeah?

Yeah, this it.

Shit look like
a old meat locker.

Probably 'cause it is.

I bet you
that nigga in there.

Okay, so we can go in there
and be, like, "Excuse me, sir,

"do you mind stepping out
your humble abode

so we could beat
the ever-lovin' shit out you?"

-Hey, yo, Derrick!
-Ay!

- Yo, Derrick!
- Shut up.

Stop.

-God damn it. Fuck.
-Fuck you doin' here, Mouse?

Bike's gone.

Wasn't mine.

It was M.N.C. Blax's bike.

You don't know
no fuckin' M.N.C. Blax.

Why the fuck would you
do me like that, huh?

This shit happen all the time.
You know this.

Nah, it's different.
We go way back, bro.

It's messed up.

Yeah, well, you live
and you learn.

We all gotta eat.

Go home, Mouse.

Let's just go.

Fuck that.

-Let's just go.
-Fuck that.

Y'all ain't hear
what the fuck I just said?

Get the fuck out of here
before I fuck y'all up.

Who you think
you're fuckin' up, yo?

All of y'all, don't push me!

Nigga, I'm pushing.
What's up?

-Ay, Lamont. Let's just go.
-Yo, yo, fucking chill, Lamont.

You ain't gonna do shit.

-You heard
what the fuck I said!
-Whoa! Whoa!

Yo! Yo!
Fuckin' chill, yo.

-Get the fuck away from him.
-Put that gun down.

-Lamont, ay!
-Talk that tough shit now!

Lamont! Let's go!

That's what
the fuck I thought.
Didn't I say dip?

Roll out!

- Let's go!
- Let's go!

Derrick, right?

We already know.

Don't too many people
get away with stealin'

no bikes
and we don't know about it.

I see you got
your little strap.

I used to play with them, too.
Until I got on parole.

I ain't got it,
but y'all got it?

Is a fat baby heavy?

Shit. Don't get done up
by no girl, nigga.

You know who I am, right?

-M.N.C. Blax.
-Shut the fuck up, nigga.

That was
a rhetorical question.

Man, I can start
to pay you now, man.

-We can figure somethin' out.
-It's already figured out.

-Hey, look,
I'mma tell you one time.
-Fuck wrong with you?

We catch you touchin'
one of our fuckin' bikes

and I'm gonna blow
your fuckin' brains out, nigga.

You understand me?

Yo. Yo.

That's what you do
to a nigga that took
your bike? Talk?

It got out he took our shit
without repercussions,

that's on us.

-You M.N.C. Blax.
-It's already over with, man.

This nigga need the shit

I said we out.

Yo, we out, yo.

Thanks, man.

Oh, shit.

Lamont.

Oh, shit.

Now who talkin'

- Come on, boy, nigga...
-Yo, chill!

Lamont! Yo, get off of him.
Lamont, get off of him.

He needed that.
He needed that.

Yo. Yo! Yo! Chill.

Young boy, young boy, chill.
Chill, chill.

Don't need you catching
no body just yet.

Learned your lesson, right?

Bitch-ass nigga.

Talk.

I-I stopped by the park
real quick.

And then this dude
just fuckin' jacked me.

So he put a gun to you?

So, how he jack you?

Well, he, uh, I let him ride it
for, like, two seconds,

and he just, he took off
and he just left and I was...

What did I tell you
about that, man?

Didn't I tell you don't never
let another man

make you feel like this?

Not even if it's me.

You come in here stuttering,
with your head down.

Men don't act like that.

You sure you even ready
for this shit?

I ain't got time to keep
twisting your arm around.

I got shit to do.

-You hear me?
-Yeah.

Yeah.

You on clean-up duty
from now on, man.

If you don't get
this shit right,

we ain't gettin' back
to what we're supposed to.

You do what you gotta do,
then maybe we could

get back to what we was doin'.

Maybe.

-Cheap ass.
-What you doin' after this?

Me? Finna get
two girls this year.

One in seventh,
one in eighth.

Play it right, they won't even

Fuck you talkin' about?

You already got two.
Leftquisha and Rightina.

Shut your ass up, yo.
You always gangin' up on me.

I only use my right.

Yo.

Not your fat ass.

-What's up?
-What they call you?

Lamont.

You went hard
on that bitch-ass nigga
that took your bike.

Yeah, that shit had me
trippin', for real.

Yeah? I thought
you was gonna kill him.

You stopped me.

Bluffin'-ass li'l nigga.

You trying
to get some money?

What are you
lookin' back for?

That's what I'm trying
to figure out.

Yeah.

I don't really be fucking

but I'mma holler at you.

Ma.

-Ma.
-Uh-huh.

-You all right?
-Mm-hmm.

-Don't you got class?
-Uh...

I'm gonna take
a little break from school.

Pick up some extra hours.

Dr. Parish called.

Said she ain't seen you
in a month of Sundays.

You quit on her?

That's what she think.

You love animals, baby.

You been saying
how you was gonna be a vet

since your little ass
could talk.

What's going on?

Um...

A'ight.

I ain't gonna nag you
about it now.

If you wanna quit a job, quit.
Lord knows how many I have.

But don't give up
on your dreams, Mouse.

'Cause they don't get
no easier to hold on to.

You hear me?

Promise me.

I promise.

I gotta get ready
to go to work.

I'll see you tonight.

What's up, Mouse? You ready
to get back to your bike?

I see you been workin' hard.

Feel like you learned
your lesson by now.

What?

What's the matter?
I thought you wanted this.

I do.

I need more than a bike, man.

I quit my job to work here,
and that's money I don't have.

It's money
my family could use.

I don't know what
you talkin' about.
I got bikes for you, Mouse.

Put me on.

Put you on what?

You see me workin' here?
It look like they hirin'?

But Jamal is.

Don't act like
you ain't gettin' money
with him. I seen it.

Put me on, man, I'm asking
for your help.

Fuck, no.

No?

No.

Then what the fuck
am I doin' here?

What am I doin' here? Huh?

You better watch
who the fuck you talkin' to.

You forgot
who you talkin' to, man?

I know exactly
who I'm talkin' to.

I know exactly
who I'm talkin' to.

I'm talkin' to
an ex-con mechanic

who think he still run shit.

Man, fuck this place!

I mean,
fuck this half-built bike

and fuck you, too, Blax!

Nah, I'm not.

You not going

-No, I'm not.
-Well, that's good.

Well, don't leave me

Where you goin'?

Why you think that's any

-Mouse.
-Nah. Nah, for real.

Why you think you can

and just ask me
all these questions?

And I gotta tell you everything

Hmm?

I mean, you came
into my school

Hmm?

That wasn't supposed to be
no lifelong commitment.
Move on.

-Oh, it's like that?
-It's been like that.

-It's like that, Mouse?
-It's been like that.

You just can't take a hint.
That's your problem.

Hey. Mouse.

Hey, look, you ain't

I'm gonna keep
being here for you

and one day you gonna look back
and you gonna think about me

and you gonna be glad that
somebody had...

-What is it with you, bro?
-What you mean?

Is you gay?

You like touching
on little kids or somethin'?

Or is it that
you feelin' guilty

about all the little niggas
you done locked up

and put in a cage?

Whatever your fucking
problem is,

I ain't the solution.

I promise you I'm not.

And for your information,

I don't need you.
I don't need anybody, but me.

Step!

You don't need me?

Okay, big man.

Shit, you might fuck around

This light work

Y'all little niggas can't ride

You ain't shit

Man, it take more
than that to be M.N.C.

Until I say otherwise,
anything I give you,

I could take the fuck back.

Mouse.

Don't mention shit
to nobody.

What?

Ain't you forgettin'
somethin'?

Can't fuckin' do that

You get hemmed up,

Got any questions, ask now

'cause I ain't sayin'

Speak the fuck up.

Um...

Hey, I could put you

Bro, I picked my shit first,

Ay! Ay, Nicki.

Hey, guys.

-'Sup, Nicki?
-What's up?

Nice camera.

Had to visit a cousin in D.C.
or somethin'.

We could go catch a movie.

Shit. But you know, actually,

like I was sayin',

So, it's...

You're busy?

Yeah, busy.

Who are these people?

These are my friends
from school.

And they live here
year-round.

You know what? I was actually
finna get going anyway.

Mouse.

You'll wait for me,
though, right?

Let's go, Mouse.

Look, I know
that was messed up,

but if you wanna go
to the movies,

-I can take you.
-Shut up.

Where you get
all of this?

What is this?

Why are you going
through my stuff?

I ain't gonna ask you again.

It's money.

Little boy,
don't play with me.

Where you get all of this?

Huh?

Vet don't pay that much,

and hell, you ain't been
going there no way.

I earned it.

-How?
-Working.

Workin' for who?

Some dudes.

What fuckin' dudes, Myron?

Some dudes I been
ridin' bikes with.

I done lost one of my sons
to these fuckin' streets

and if you think
I'm finna lose another one

it ain't gonna be while you up
under this fuckin' roof!

You know what?

Get the fuck out.
Get the fuck out my house.

Get the fuck out, Myron.

Where the fuck
you want me to go?

Where the fuck
you think you gonna go?

You a grown-ass man now, right?

You a grown-ass
fuckin' man now, right?

What the fuck
I look like takin' care

of a grown-ass fuckin' man?

You gettin' money,

and figure it out!

Figure this shit out, Myron!

I ain't fuckin'
playin' with you!

Myron!

All the shit
I've done for you, boy.

This the shit you gonna do.

All the fuckin' shit
I have done for you.

You know what it took me to...
Fuckin' shit!

Shit!

Yo, Sophie.

M.N.C. Blax.

Detective Rivers.

I just came through
to check you out.

It's not a official visit.
Your P.O. didn't send me.

It don't matter,
'cause I ain't dirty anyway.

That's good, brother,
that's good.

Finally gettin'
yourself together
after all this time, huh?

And after all of this time,
you still runnin' around here

acting like you better
than niggas, huh?

Shit don't change, huh?

We closed, so what's up?

You know, they used
to have this program
called BPD Buddies.

It got cut a few years back.
Budget constraints.

But what it was,
it allowed cops

to go inside of schools
and be a mentor.

Mine was Mouse.

I mean,
this little boy, man.

This little boy blew me away.

I mean, anything that you
wanted to know about an animal,

whether it was
the life expectancy of a frog

or the diet of an arctic fox,

I mean,
he could just recall it

from his memory just like that.

I probably learned more
from him than he learned
from me.

The more we got
to know each other,

the more I got to know
what he's been through.

How his brother died in that
police raid and all that.

That's tragic stuff, brother.

So, I started digging.

And guess
whose name came up?

You.

Bryan Tarver.

And I said to myself, I said,
"Man, I know this guy.

Bryan, Bryan. Yeah!
Bryan from the West Side.

Grew up on
the same block. Yeah.

Little big-head-ass Bryan,

used to follow
behind us and shit.

Yeah, I know him.

Turned out to be
one cold-hearted brother,

but yeah, I know him."

Man, nigga, you don't
fuckin' know me.

Maybe you right.

I thought I did.

But I had no idea how cold

-M.N.C. Blax really was.
-Nigga, you don't know shit.

I know when we found Stro,
he had, like, what?

800, 900 on him.

And what kid you know
from West Baltimore

got that kinda cash on him
unless he trappin'?

Stro don't trap.

I was lookin' out
for Stro.

Well, you did
a hell of a job.

No matter how
you cut it, Bryan...

this on you, ain't it?

Ain't none
of your fucking business.

Now what else you want?

I wanna make sure
that the same thing
doesn't happen to Mouse.

I wanna make sure that
the same thing doesn't happen

to any of these
other young Black boys

followin' your ass
down the same road.

I know you ain't just said
what I think you said.

Black boys?
What about Black boys?

You don't give a fuck
about Black boys.

Matter of fact, you ain't even
Black no more, nigga. You blue.

Bitch-ass nigga.

That's why Mouse
don't wanna be
around you now.

Fuckin' joke.

He know I'm the only nigga

around here
that care about him.

Only nigga around here
that ain't on a payroll

to act like
he care about him.

Ah. Okay.

You and I both know...

that the best thing
that could ever happen to Mouse

is for a nigga like you
to be out of his life forever.

Let me ask you somethin', Blax.

Bryan.

Does Mouse know
what really happened to Stro?

Figures.

Oh, Mouse, if you
gonna be stayin' at my house,

don't be using
my toothbrush, a'ight?

That shit's nasty, yo.

Yeah, whatever, yo.

I'm tellin' you, nigga,
these are O.G.

Nigga, these are better
than those, though.

-Here we go.
-I'm tellin' you, yo.

-This is the best shit ever.
-They're not even
made the same, yo.

Yes, they are.

-What're you talkin' about, yo?
-No, they not.

They way different textures.

No, they're not.
They're both gummy.

-They're literally both gummy.
-Those are Sour Patch Kids.

-These are gummy bears.
-But they're both gummies.

-Hey, yo. Jamal
was right about us.
-They're sour.

-Fuck you talkin' about?
-Here we go.

He was right about us, a'ight?

We doin' the same shit
we always used to do.

We just sittin' on
some borrowed bikes.

Hey, nigga.
I love my borrowed bike.

Oh, yeah? What happens
if you wreck it?

What you think Jamal gonna say?
What you think Jamal gonna do?

Forgive and forget?

Take a couple
thousand dollar loss
and just move on?

I mean, seriously,
did y'all even think about

the deal we took
when we got these bikes?

-Nigga, did you?
-Yes. And I am now.

So what would you like us
to do, then, Mouse?

Make our own money.
Get our own bike.

That's the kinda shit
we need to be on, yo.

Ay, look,
it's like this.

As long as we keep
holdin' our hands out,

we always gonna be seen
as some little kids.

And I don't know about y'all,
but I'm sick and tired

of grown folks
runnin' my life.

Boys wait for other people.
Men go out and get it.

I'm tryin' to go get it.

How the fuck
we supposed to do that, Mouse?

Huh?

We can just rob
that motherfucker right there.

-Is you high?
-Nah, think about it.

We'll get the props we need

for actually doin' something.
Something real.

And we can get the cash
to get all our bikes.

It's a win-win.

Yeah.

Yeah, it'd be easy.

Old man Kim ain't gonna
put up no fight.

We get in, we get out,

we get the cash,
we get our own bikes.

And we prove to Jamal
we down for whatever.

And we get to fuck
with them racist ass.

Yeah.

Y'all do know this,
that's a real crime, right?

Jail time. Doin' our nickel.
Don't drop the soap, like...

The fuck you think
we've been doin' for Jamal?

Delivering pizzas?

Let's go get it.

I don't know.

Y'all know
y'all still babies, right?

-We know we ready, Queen.
-What we tryin' to tell you

is we ain't
no fuckin' babies, bro.

Yo, Jamal.

J! Come here, right fast.

Hold up, yo.

Yeah?

J, they tryin' to tool up.

Say what?

Say they need a strap.

Give 'em one.

One, though.

Yo, Queen.

Give it to that little nigga.

You bet.

Man, come on.

Whoo... Pay up.

Yeah. Pay.

Yo!

Hey, yo.

Let me holler at you, yo.

Yo, what's up?

You makin' it hot out here.
What you doin'?

I see you
holdin' court out here.

Yeah, it's the shit
you taught me.

Keep the money
and the work separate.

What's the problem?
Nigga, I'm on parole.

You know if the cops
come up in here, I'm done.

All right. We gonna chill.

I'll let niggas know
we can't be ridin' here.

Cool? What else?

-Fall back off Mouse.
-No.

That little nigga a trapper.

Gotta keep him around,
he good.

Just like Stro.

Fall back off Mouse, nigga.

Yeah, whatever.

Tell that little nigga
to bring my shit back

and go ahead
about his business.

Oh, yeah,
and if you still tryin'
to save the youth and shit...

he came asking for a piece.

And you fuckin' gave it to him.

Pretty sure
I was around the same age

when you gave me
my first strap, nigga.

-I didn't contribute that.
-Yeah.

Oh, my bad.

- Well, what's up?
- -Well, that was messed up.

Don't even do that.

Hey, yo, I gotta go.

Ay, you hear me talkin'
to you?

I gotta go. Blax texted me.

-A'ight.
-All right.

Yo, text me when you get back.

Yo.

I need to holler at you.

I'm here.

You know I know
what you been up to, right?

So?

- "So"? What the fuck
you mean, "so"?

You not even built like that.
I don't even know why...

Mouse!

Ay.

Ay, what's wrong with Sophie?

I don't know
what's wrong with Sophie.

-What the fuck is wrong
with you?
-Ay.

Listen to me,
something's wrong with her.
You got your car here?

What you mean,
there's something wrong
with Sophie?

-Right here.
-Well, come on, man.

Have you noticed any change
in behavior recently?

She been, like,

moving a little slow

and like not eating
as much as she usually eat

but she get like that
sometimes.

You think it might be bloat?

What's that?
What's bloat?

It's, uh, actually
called gastric dilatation...

Vol...

-Volvulus.
-Volvulus.

It's a gas build-up.

Blockage, it makes
the stomach twist up
on itself.

And that's
supposed to be serious?

So, what we supposed to do?

Well, surgery
is certainly an option.

But with a dog of this age...

Well, what you trying to say?
We gotta, like, put her down?

Well, that's 100% up to you.

We can operate
as early as tomorrow morning

if that's the route
you wanna go.

But, honestly...

that's a lot
for this little girl to take.

Mouse gonna do it.

Um...

I got you.

Okay.

I'm gonna
walk you through it,
all right?

All right, keep your hand
really steady, okay?

We're gonna find
the major artery
in the back of this front leg.

Just go ahead
and feel around for it.

Right there, do you feel that?

Just put the needle
directly into it, okay?

I'll leave you guys to it.

You remember I told you

your brother was,
like, no good at choosin'

who he hung around?

Yeah.

I was talkin'
about niggas like me.

He should've
avoided niggas like me.

Wait, what you talkin' about?

He called me...

and he kept tellin' me
how he needed money

and how the lights went out

for the second time.

So I sent him to do a run.

He ain't never make it back
from that run.

It's my fault
your brother died.

I put him on.

And I only took you
under the wing
'cause I felt like...

this would be the only thing
I could do

to feel like I'm doin' right.

Mouse.

Yo, Mouse.

Got it?

What if
he fixed the cameras, ay?

You think he just so happened
to fix 'em
the night we rob him?

Besides,
all these engines, nigga,

you ain't gonna hear
no shootin'.

Nigga, there ain't gonna be
no shootin'.

I'm just sayin'
if shit go left.

No. We get in, we get out.

We get the money, we leave.

No shooting.

Lamont, I'm serious.

Nigga, I'm serious.

Stop being so damn scary.

Fuck.

Man, nigga, you know what?

-Fuck that shit.
-Fuck are you doin'? 'Mont.

'Mont!

Let them have their fun.
Everyone sit tight.

Ready?

I wanna know
who killed my brother!

Hey, hey, hey...

Give me your money.

Get the money
right now. Right now!

Yo, I swear
to God, yo, I'mma
shoot your ass.

Give me
the money right now.

I'm calling the police.

Ay! Yo, yo, yo.
What is you doin'?

What are you doing?

No, no, no.
Let's go back. Come on.

Hey, yo. It's bad, bro.
We gotta go.

- Give me the money.
- Lamont, leave him.
Let's go.

We gotta go!

Let me go!

What the fuck?
I said no shooting!

Shit, gun!

What the fuck?

We gotta go.
We gotta go.

- Come on, we gotta go.
- Sweartagawd.

- We gotta go.
- Sweartagawd!

- Come on, we gotta go.
- Sweartagawd, get up!

Shots fired.

There's a store robbery
in progress.

Multiple suspects fleeing
from Clinton and Calhoun.

All right,
I'm on it.

We gotta split up.

Lamont, no.
We should stay together.

Nah, too risky.

I'mma go find Jamal.

He'll know what to do.

Lamont!

Wait, 'Mont, come back.

Please. Lamont!

Miguel. You can take
a break, Miguel.

You don't fuckin' hear me?
Take a break!

And lock the door
when you leavin'.

What happened to you?

Tell me what happened, Mouse.

He's dead.

Who dead?

Sweartagawd got shot

-and now he's dead.
-Oh, God.

How'd he get shot? By who?

Mr. Kim's wife.

We didn't know she had a gun.

The fuck? Was y'all tryin'
to rob the store, Mouse?

We had a plan.

Oh, my fucking God.

No shooting.

But then they shot,
and we shot.

Shut up
and let me think, man.

I need you to listen
to me, Mouse.

You wanna know
what a second chance

feel like for people
like me and you?

Niggas like us don't get
no second chances, Mouse.

What are you talkin' about?

Just promise me
you gonna do right, Mouse.

Promise.

I promise.

Then take this hoodie off,
and then go put that shirt on.

And wash your hands.

Diesel, shut up.

I'm fucked.

Blax.

Blax, what's next?

I'm not strapped.
I'm here to turn myself in.

Blax, what's goin' on?

Turn yourself in for what?

For that robbery that killed
that little boy earlier.

No, no, no, Blax.

Shut the fuck up.

-No, no, no. But you can't.
-Shut the fuck up.

He ain't got
shit to do with this.

He been here
fixin' his bike the whole time.

This is all me.

You know he a good kid,
right, Rivers?

The best thing you could do
is take me.

And keep me out
of his life forever.

Blax.

Don't do this. Don't.

Blax.

-Primary suspect in custody.
-Blax. Listen to me.

Listen to what I'm sayin',
Blax, please.

No sign of his accomplice.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say
can be held against you
in a court of law.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,
one will be provided for you.

Blax.

No, no, don't do that.

Blax!

Take him,
take him, take him.

Oh, Blax!

Don't fuckin' touch me.

Let's go.

-Come on, Mouse.
-No.

Let's go, come on.

Come on. Let's go.

I got you. I got you.
I got you.

Mouse.

I'mma take care
of the police stuff.

But don't let this
go to waste.

Store owner,
Sung-Min Kim thwarted
an attempted robbery...

killing one suspect
in the process.

Authorities have yet
to release the name

of the deceased
would-be robber.

And we're told
that the assailant
was just 13 years old.

After a standoff
at a local auto garage,
authorities are claiming,

to have the prime suspect
in custody

and are calling
this case closed.

Well,
it's a sure sign that summer
is almost over...

Hey, baby.

Ma.

Yes, baby, I'm here.

I love you.

Excuse.

Yo.

Hey.

What's goin' on, 'Mont?

You just gettin' off work?

Yeah.

It's cool.

You know, I see Miss T and Shay
the other day.

That's cool.

You still ride?

Yeah, it's, uh...

It's just not the same.

Yeah.

Yeah, I miss him, too.

All right,
well, I gotta roll.

A'ight.

You be safe out there, man.

Yeah. You, too, Mouse.

Look
at my little veterinarian.

-Hey, baby.
-What's goin' on, Ma?

Nothin'.

Got somethin' for you.

-You got somethin' for me?
-I got somethin' for you.

-What you got?
-Here you go.

What you got me?

That's all you.

- What's goin' on here?
- -You bought groceries and shit, too?

Y'all hungry?

I am.

Well, get your ass
in here. Let's go.

All right.

- Shay, come on!
- One minute.

That way.

Yo. Baltimore's got
the hardest riders.
