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

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

A factory town
that somehow became
a gang town.

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

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

Then just 20 years later,
without warning,

Us steel shut down
70% of the mill.

At first
the workers thought
it was temporary.

But it wasn't.

Their savings went,
unemployment ran out

And slowly
the former steel workers

Lost the last two things
they had left,

Their pride
and their hope.

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

This was the
palace movie theater.

The last movie
that played here
was star wars.

That's the bakery.

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

That's where
hanes restaurant
once stood.

They had the best
barbecued ribs.

This is the
memorial auditorium,

Home of two state
basketball championships.

More than 350,000
back then.

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

This abandoned steel mill
is now headquarters to

A gang called
the diablos.

And the old train depot
is a hangout

For their rivals,
the rebels.

(people chattering)

Hey, punk!

Fuck you, man!

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

You're so goddamn weak!

I should knock
your ass outside!

Huh? Huh? Huh?
Shoot! Shoot!

(all exclaiming)

Shit!

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

(shouting)

Rebs!

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

Get the fuck
out of my face!

What's up, man?
How you doing?

You did good
out there.

Thanks, man.
Appreciate it.

Where'd you learn
to play like that?

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

You gonna
come back again?

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

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

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

Uh-huh.

Kayo, give the man his due.

Thanks, man.

Up to me,
you wouldn't
get shit.

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

You gonna take care
of that punk hustler,
right?

Spy: Yeah,
you know i am.

Now if you're
through bullshitting,

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

All that money?
For basketball?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whatever.
All that money.

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

(exclaims)

Did you stick
your tongue out?

No, i didn't stick
my tongue out,

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

(exclaims) man!

(laughs)

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

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

Well, it's genetics,
marcus.

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

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

Back to you, brad.

I know where
they came from.

Do you know
where they came from?

The store closes
about 7:00.

So meet me there
and don't be late.

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

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

No, man.
I need my privacy

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

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

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

You lookin'
mighty well,
mrs. Dawson.

Hey, mr. Bookman.

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

How you doin',
mrs. Dawson?

Did you bring
your coupons
with you?

(stutters)
but don't worry
about that.

After the dance,
(tires screeching)

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

(gun firing)

(screaming)

Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!

I told you
the bookman market!

I just sent
for the police.

(screaming) kenny!

Oh, my god!

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

Don't you die
on me, man!

Please, will someone
call an ambulance!

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

(police radio chattering)

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

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

Do you know if
he was in a gang?

Oh, not
kenny thompson!

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

I don't know.

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

Why do you
say that?

Nobody ever
sees anything
around here.

They bury their dead
and nobody ever sees
anything.

Is that so?

Marvin.

I'm talkin'
to this detective.

So talk to me.

Anything you say
is between us.

Nobody else
has to know.

Suppose i didn't
see the gunmen,

But i did get
the license number
of the car.

Blue coupe.
Broken right
tail light.

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

These are good people.

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

She runs
the beauty parlor
across the street there.

(men arguing)

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

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

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

Finally,
it's got to be me.

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

(yells)

Now, son,
don't go tryin' to

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

Yeah, we'll see.

Well, aren't you
going after him?

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

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

This is
detective waits,
on the 28-29.

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

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

We're still checking.

(word man playing)

(people chattering)

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

It's cool, doc.

You better
recognize, boy.

I know you, don't i?

Yeah, i'm the
word man, man.

I know what's happenin'
on the streets.

(chuckles)
the word man, huh?
Yeah.

So what's the word
on the streets?

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

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

Not mr. Bookman.

Thought you'd
wanna know.

That was my favorite
fuckin' store.

Why'd he do
that shit, man?

'cause he's
fucked up like that.

What's your angle?

I live on
the streets,
you know.

And sometimes
i get messed with.

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

Ain't nobody
ever gonna mess
with you again.

You're one of us now.

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

Burn the cougar.

No problem,
i got that.

I want you
to go check out
that bookman store.

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

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

(chuckles)

I believe in
the honor system.

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

Take his ass out.

Yeah.

Is this the car
you're lookin' for?

Slatten: Yes, it is.

If they know
we made the car,

They know where
we got the information.

(door opens)

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

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

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

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

You done talk to
the police about us?

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

He's lying.
He gave us up.

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

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

We left your ass alone!

We paid for
everything we took!

You see
what i'm saying?

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

Not much here, old man.

Every other store
around here get hit
but you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Say you fuckin'
sorry, man.

Fuckin' customer's
always right.

(exclaims)

Ah, shit, man!

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

Big pain, huh?

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

Fuck this
old motherfucker!

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

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

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

Come on
over here, man!

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

Hey, look at his ass.

You wanna get
your stripes for
a rebel or what?

Fuck it, man.

Kill that motherfucker
by and by.

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

You gonna
die soon anyway.

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

I'm god!
You're nothin'!

It's time to
cross the line, baby.

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

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

You hear me?

I said pop his ass!

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

Marvin bookman,
you're a damn fool.

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

Hello, moms.
How is he?

He was shot
in the shoulder,

But the doctor
said he'd live.

And how you
holding up?

I'm doin' fine now.

Sis.

Come here, john.

How you doin', pops?

Well, not goin'
into the store today.

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

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

Pops, this place
is just not...

This place
was a good place.

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

Yeah, i remember.
The day the war ended

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

Married your mother,
bought the store.

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

But i'd be
out of work by now.

Maybe living on the street
like some of my friends.

People work
all their lives
and wind up

Sleepin' in
a cardboard box
in a doorway.

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

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

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

You should come back more.
Your mother misses you.

Yeah. Get some rest, okay?

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

What're you
talking about?

You and pops can't
stay here anymore.

Well, you're
just like them.

Always trying to
tell us what to do.

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

My johnny
wouldn't talk
like that.

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

All right.

Good. Let me
borrow your car.

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

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

You knew what those
animals could do.

Mistakes were made.
We got there too late.

Marvin made the mistake.
Trusting you people.

I know you won't
believe this,

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

Oh, you're just
a waste of time.

¶ there's some people up there
hoggin' everything

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

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

What the fuck?

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

You better get out of here
before you get hurt!

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

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

I'm only gonna
say it once!

(grunting)

Get out of here!

Take a look at that.

Drop your gun!
Get back!
Drop your gun!

(shouting)

(screaming)

Oh, shit!

Get back!
Get back! Get back!

What the fuck
you doin', man?

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

You're dead, man.

Fuck you!
Be cool, man.

(screaming)

Come on, one leg!
Get your ass out!

Move your ass!

(screaming)

(grunting)
laurie!

You killed kenny,
you son of a bitch!

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

Laurie: Nice to
have you back home.

John: Thanks. Sorry
to hear about your son.

Well, well,
look at that.
Somebody famous.

Can i have
your autograph,
mr. Bookman?

(gangsters laughing)

Please? This market is
confiscated property.

It's ours now.

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

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

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

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

I protected him.

And how does he show
his appreciation?

This is a very sad day,
john bookman.

Well, i just canceled
your charge account.

You don't want to
be like your poppa.

Starting something
you can't finish.

That ain't never been
my style, brother.

(police siren wailing)

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

We'll see you
later, star.

That's the problem.

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

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

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

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

There's no place
for them to go.

There's nothin'
out there for them.

They are more scared
of living than dyin'.

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

They just
kill each other.

But that's the destiny
of young people here.

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

So what's happening
to our city, huh?

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

(rap music playing)

(people chattering)

All right,
fuck that, kayo.

Talkin' all that
goofy shit, man.

Let me see
what you got.

(grunts)

Hey, step on out, man.

All right, base.

What's up,
delivery boy?

What the fuck
you doin' here?

Did somebody place
an order around this
motherfucker? Huh?

Hell no! Give me this
motherfuckin' ball!

See you later, sucka!

What the fuck
you want, man?

What the fuck
you want?

I was just watching.

Take your ass on
over there and watch.

Hey. Hey, johnny.

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

(laughs)

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

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

Yeah, it's me.
Still here.

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

You better
suck that gut in.

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

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

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

Whoa, i'm sorry.

Didn't your folks
write you about it?

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

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

Oh, i see.

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

No, no,
i've been back.

Well, quickly to
see your parents,

You know, fly in
in the morning

And then leave
right back out
at night?

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

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

Yeah, you're here.

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

I mean, you and us rebels
running around drinking,

Screwing all
around the place.

You thought it was
gonna be like that, huh?

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, man!

You goin' back again
tomorrow and, frankly,

I don't give a fuck
what you think.

Fuck you, motherfucker.

Our guest today
is johnny bookman.

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

Hey, john,
thanks for being
with us today.

Thanks for
allowing me
the time.

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

Be cool, babe.

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

About the assault and
robbery on your father.

First of all,
let me set the
record straight.

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

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

The police failed
to give him
proper protection.

The reports were
that he was robbed.

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

They came in the store
just to kill him.

But they underestimated
his spirit.

"underestimated
his spirit."

I thought
john bookman's
father was dead.

Bobby was supposed to
kill this motherfucker.

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

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

Now that's snitching
right there.

Whole family's gone.

They deserve
that shit, man.

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

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

Wicked ass mouth.

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

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

We gonna get that ass,
john bookman.

Interviewer: Thanks
for coming down today.

Thanks for being
on the show, john.

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

No shit.
What took him so long?

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

(sighs)

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

A founding member
of the rebs.

Yeah, that's true.

But we didn't
kill people.

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

Because you let it!

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

You are pissed off
because you've become
a victim

Of something
you started yourself!

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

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

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

My own father worked
in the steel mills

And he got himself
killed on the job.

And the company
settlement put me
through law school.

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

Let's not talk
about me.

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

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

That crime is just
going to dry up.

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

Calm down.
All right. All right.

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

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

At the christian chapel.

What's reverend
dorsey gonna do?

The reverend serves
as an intermediary
between the gangs.

(scoffs) what are you
trying to tell me?

You're going to negotiate
with these punks?

That can be arranged.

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

Michael,
it's a hell of an idea.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you.

Yeah.

Right. Okay, set it up.

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

I started the rebels,
i can terminate them.

I want to thank
all of you for coming.

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

I just had
a long talk
with the mayor.

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

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

(choir singing)

The choir can take
a 10 minute break.

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

You all just
get some air.

(clears throat)

You requested
our presence?

Yes, the mayor
called me today.

And how is
our friend,
the mayor?

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

Oh, yeah. I heard
somethin' about that.

I heard the old man
had a chattery side.

Now marvin bookman
is an old man.

You know that
sometimes old men
make mistakes.

Old men better learn,
reverend.

Well, sometimes
we have to reach
deep within ourselves

To find forgiveness.

Perhaps i should
also mention that

Johnny bookman
is a very high
profile person?

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

The media, brothers.

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

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

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

Is that your sermon
of the day?

Look...

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

As always, you make
good sense, reverend.

The rebs will
talk to the family.

What else do you
get out of this?

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

Perhaps a gesture
of brotherly love

Certainly wouldn't
hurt my efforts, huh?

So we'll call a truce.

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

Sure.
Brotherly love,
reverend.

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

(humming)

Brotherly love, huh?
I heard that, brother.

You have a nice day,
rev, okay?

Johnny bookman!
We saw you on the tv!

Mrs. Jones,
how are you?

Still goin' strong.

(indistinct chattering)

I move like this.
I fly better than jordan.

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

Maybe you should try out
for the toilets.

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

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

I got a message for you.

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

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

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

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

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

Get out of my face, man.

(laughs)

What the fuck you
laughing at, old man?

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

(shouting)

(grunting)

(mumbling)

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

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

(grunts)

Johnny, johnny.

That's always been
your problem, partner.

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

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

Let me give you a hand.

(grunts)

How you been, man?
Oh, man.

Problem here?

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

No, i don't see
no problem.

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

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

¶ make me wanna holler
the way they do my life

¶ this ain't livin'
this ain't livin'

¶ you know the bible says

¶ we gotta be more giving

¶ what they're talking?

Something i forgot
to tell you, man.

I was at home
watching tv one night

And i was watching
pay-per-view.

Saw your boy fight.
This guy went bong!

Oh, man,
don't go there.

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

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

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

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

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

I got 20 years
on most of
these suckers

And i can still
kick their butts.

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

Look, i know where
you coming from, man,

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

To help me out
in some street fight.

No, man,
i came back
to bury kenny.

Laurie's son?

Our son.

A son.

Damn! I'm sorry, jake.

I never knew him, johnny.

Heard he was
a great athlete, man.

So what happened
between you and laurie?

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

You know laurie, man.
Strong black woman.

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

So did this kid know
that you were the father?

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

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

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

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

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

Like to leave
in the past, right?

John. John bookman.
Hey, red.

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

The fellas tell me you gave
them hell on television.

¶ and throw up
both my hands

¶ yeah, make me wanna holler

¶ and throw up
both my hands ¶

Jake trevor,
what's going on, champ?

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

You mean, since
you left the rebels?

Damn right,
it's been a long while.

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

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

Lot of shit's changed
in this town.

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

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

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

A protection gang,
you remember that?

Yeah.

Well, those days are gone.

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

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

Yeah, i can understand
all that, my man.

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

I don't shoot
rumors, man.

Hey, slick.

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

All right,
you wanna know?
Yeah.

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

Your boy saw what?

You wanted to know.
I just told you.

What did he
get 'em for?

300 bucks.

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

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

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

They didn't kill him
over the money.

They killed him
because he was
hustlin' them.

It ain't about
breaking fingers anymore.

Who's running
the show, man?

Just like the old days
it was you and john,

Only now it's spyro
and damien.

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

(exhales deeply)

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

Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.

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

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

But i'm willing to
bet my last dollar

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

I just want to be
a part of it.

¶ lord took his soul

¶ and he set

How'd you find out?

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

I read it somewhere.

You know
you should have
called me.

I just didn't want
any more killing.

What you think
i'm gonna do,

Just forget about
what they did to kenny?

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

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

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

Even if it means
making everything worse!

Give me that!

What's up, jake?

Oh, man.

I found out why
they killed kenny, man.

The rebels have
a b-ball racket going.

Kenny made
a slick move on 'em.

Does laurie
know about this?

No, she don't know
about it yet.

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

You ready to make
this hit with me, man?

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

With the rebels
at the church
on 35th street.

You got a meeting
with the rebels?
What for?

Set up a truce.
Start some kind
of dialogue.

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

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

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

It ain't gonna
come down that way!

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

You got to have power
to make a truce!

And where's your
power, johnny?

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

You're damn right
i want revenge!

What i want here
is a little respect!

You take this out
to the street.

Have you heard?

Our good friend johnny
wants to make a truce

With the people
that killed our son!

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

It's not gonna
happen that fast.

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

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

Well, i wanna be there.

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

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

Well, you can
count me out.

Let me tell both
of you something.

I know
what i have to do.

Oh, jake, man,
come on! Jake!

Jake, man,
come back! Jake!

(exclaims in
frustration)

(crowd clamoring)

(people chattering)

Where's spyro, my man?

Right there.

You want somethin',
brother?

Your name spyro?

Yeah. Why?

I just wanted to see
what you look like.

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

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

Yeah, your old man
was right.

I heard of you.

Heard you were
back in town.
What for?

Kenny thompson.

Never heard of him.

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

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

And where does that
leave you, spyro?

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

Fuck you, old man.

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

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

(rap song playing)

On behalf
of the mayor
and myself,

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

To this
house of worship

To try and settle
matters regarding

This serious and
tragic situation.

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

Who will mediate
all sides.

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

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

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

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

Spy, damien, see,
i know your folks.

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

Your aunts,
your brothers
and sisters.

So i'm standing
in the middle here.

I am the mediator.
So let's talk.

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

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

Short, sweet
and simple.

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

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

Who shot my father?

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

Now, damage was done
on both sides.

Marvin bookman
did the wrong thing,

But retaliation was
the wrong thing, too.

Just a minute.

My husband didn't do
anything wrong.

These animals killed
her son in front of
our store.

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

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

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

Johnny, please.

Now, reverend,
this wasn't our deal,

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

Our boy,
he missed his shot.

And we don't miss many.

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

Then maybe, just maybe

You'll be able to
survive on our streets.

Burn in hell!
Who do you think
you are?

You're nothing more
than the dog shit

We wash up
from our sidewalks
in the morning!

Gracie, please.

Oh, quit this,
reverend.

What kind of a deal
is this?

We spend our lifetime
working and striving
for goodness.

And you sell us out
to him?

And here's our deal.

(scoffs)

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

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

And maybe, just maybe,

We'll let you survive.

I'm out of here.

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

I think world war iii
was declared.

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

I been around.
You know me.

I'm always taking
care of business.

Bobby, explain
something to me.

How in the fuck
can you miss

Hitting a man
in the head

At point blank range?

I thought i hit him!

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

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

Kayo, you get
a message over
to reverend dorsey.

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

That's my word.

What about all
the other suckers
in the community?

Only the bookmans.

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

We take away
our problems!

We wait, we'll lose.

Hey, chill,
my brother.

Word on the street
that the diablos
and the rangers

Say we can't
control our hood!

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

Hey, what's up
with the gun?

What's up with
the gun, man?

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

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

Fuck, yeah!

Punk-ass nigger.

(indistinct yelling)

(hip-hop music playing
on jukebox)

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

The name's kayo
with a yayo.

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

And we are now
officially closed.

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

I said we're
officially closed!

Whoop their ass!
Get them the fuck
outta here!

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

Woman: Hey!
Wait a minute! Stop!

Turn that punk ass
shit off!

Weak ass shit!

Thelma: Why are you
doing this?

Why? Why i'm doing this?

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

Why i'm doing
this shit?

The bookmans?
Yeah, the bookmans!

You know what
i'm saying?

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

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

What you niggers
talkin' about?
Both: Whoa!

Oh, those bookmans!

(exclaiming)
what?

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

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

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

They don't even accept
food stamps, damn!

They don't
accept what?

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

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

Hey, hey, hey.

Both:
Fuck the bookmans, man!

Get up
outta here, nigger.

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

Marvin: That's him.

Mmm.

He said he was god.

But he couldn't
bring himself to kill me.

And the gun checks out.

Looks like you win
this one, coach.

No, no, not yet.

You got what
you negotiated for.

They gave you
this kid bobby.

Law of the jungle,
life for a life.

Suppose i want more.

Suppose i want
all of them.

Damien and spyro
included.

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

They made the gesture.

I'd say accept it
and walk away.

The kid was murdered.
Executed.

Doesn't that
bother you?

We couldn't do
better than that.

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

What is your problem?

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

You want to get out?

(all chattering)

Hold it!

We're still in
the house of god!

I want you to
remember that.

Now, i talked to
johnny and gracie.

You know them.

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

They brought it
on themselves.

No. No, don't say that.

They didn't bring it
on themselves.

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

Dorsey: Annie!

How can you of anybody
in this room say that?

You lost two sons
to drive-bys.

John.

My family regrets
the problems that
you're having.

But the big question is,
to survive...

Is that all you want?

You want everything
to be all right.

Well, everything
is not going to be
all right.

Because once
the gangs find out

That they can
run us out

Your life is going
to be a living hell.

You sure can talk
the talk, johnny.

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

Well, mrs. Jones,

I'm probably a very
lucky person.

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

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

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

Whether or not
your neighborhood
is worth fighting for.

Man: Well, how we
gonna do that?

Woman: Yeah,
tell us something.

Look...

Their power lies
in their unity.

A gang works together
as a team.

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

We have to work together
like a team.

If they fight
one of us,

They've gotta fight
all of us.

(all agreeing)

Every now and then
god tests us.

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

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

Now i think
mr. Bookman is right.

So i'm willing
to follow him,

And i pray that
you will, too.

For a fuckin'

Is that good
for business?

Look, the media coverage
is scaring
our major suppliers.

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

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

The bottom line is
that your actions

Are scaring people
on my streets.

We got people
with families there.
Uh-huh.

We're not behind you
on this.

You cross over
onto broadway
with this shit

And your ass will pay.

Ain't nobody paying

We know what's

And only through peace

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

The red is
the el diablos,

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

What's to stop them
from joining forces?

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

But what if the rebs
think they are?

We gotta figure out
a way to pit

All three gangs
against each other.

Break the truce,

Then they'll knock
each other off for us.

Dorsey: What if
they catch on?

Are we going to fight
all three gangs
together alone?

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

That's a good idea.

What we gotta do
is get somebody
on the inside

That can set them up.

That'll work.

And, reverend,

We need somebody
that the gangs trust.

(creaking)

Who is it?

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

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

Where do you think
you're going, punk?

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

Now, sit down.

What're we gonna do
with this little punk?

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

Maybe we ought to
just kill him.

You know,
i was thinking about
shooting him myself.

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

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

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

Oh, man,
you ain't no reb.

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

We know,
because we started it.

(scoffs) yeah, when there
were still dinosaurs.

You got a big mouth.

You don't know
nothing, man!

You know everything,
right?

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

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

Now you just
take it easy.

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

I ain't got
no love for anyone.

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

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

I might be interested
for a price.

Okay, then.
How about some guns,

Ammunition, explosives,
that kind of thing?

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

And i know where
to get you the best.

Man, you can't trust him.

Yes, you can.
Sure you can.

He's gonna sell you out.

Wait. Now just hear me out.

I gotta tell you
something.

I did something
i wish i hadn't have.

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

I was the one who
ratted him out to spyro.

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

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

All right. Chill.

Still gonna
cost you though.

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

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

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

Cash. All in hundreds.

10% of that
sticks to me.

My commission.

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

Dink: It's as good as done.

Yeah.

Hey, wait a minute!

I hope you know
what you're doing.

He's gonna go
straight to spyro.

No, no,
at 10% commission

I don't think so.

All right?

(sighs)

(grunting)

See where i hit
the chest area?

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

I want you to hit
something that breaks.

Like the face
or the ribs
or the kneecaps.

This is just
like a gun.

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

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

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

All the way through,
all right?

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

Woman: Come on, kim.

Where'd you learn
all this, honey?

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

Now, come on.

That-a girl!
All right, kim.

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

All right.

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

Mrs. Hayworth,
now the reverend
told me

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

Yes.
Well, all right then.

I'm gonna prepare you,
right?

All right, come on,
let me prepare you.

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

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

Show me some more.
(women cheering)

Yeah! You got it!

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

I did not know
what spyro wanted,

So i brought a taste
of everything.

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

Spyro and damien,
they gonna love
this shit.

(chuckles)

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

But because it
is for the rebs,

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

Only $18,000.

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

Get it.

Fifteen thousand's
what we got.

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

You can keep
the bag, too.

It's all there.

So, are the rebs having
a war or something?

Classified information, ese.

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

All right.

We paid for it,
you load it up.

That was some pretty good
negotiating we just did.

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

Yeah, yeah,
right, right.

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

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

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

Yeah? You think
they bought that?

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

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

You're too good of
a businessman for that.

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

Yeah?
Where you going?

Seattle. That's where
raymond wanted to go.

He said it was
nice up there.

Who's raymond?
He was my brother.

He was a banger.
He got killed.

I meant what i said
about your father.

He always
treated me decent.

Yeah. Well,
i'm treating you better.

Here's your 10% commission.
Fifteen hundred.

Thanks. I'm outta here.
All right.

See you, brother.

(starting scooter)

Stay up, my brother.

Stay cool, little man.
(word man playing)

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

(chuckling)

All right, clyde,
come up here.

You'd be surprised
what you can do

When you're up-close
to somebody.

You can step
on the foot.
Oh!

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

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

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

Or go for the testicles
and squeeze!
Ooh.

Oh, clyde, i'm sorry.

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

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

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

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

Everybody just
go home, relax...

See you later, okay?

Woman: Okay.
All right.

(applauding)

Hello, laurie.

(sighs) jake.

You know,
you looked pretty
good over there.

Thanks. It's everything
you taught me.

Yeah. Got a little time
for some conversation?

(sighs) yeah.
It's long overdue.

Come on.

(clears throat)

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

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

(chuckles)

(sighs) yeah.

Well, you missed a lot
not knowing kenny.

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

Full of his own
ways about things.

Basketball was his life.

He was gonna be
a big star.

He had a plan,
just like you.

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

Oh, and i knew
you could do it.

Did you?

No doubt in my mind.

You never let me know.

That's why
i had to let you go.

Let me go, laurie?

You let me go?

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

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

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

And it would've killed
whatever we had.

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

Jake, i read
all about that
in the papers.

It wasn't your fault.

Those things
happen to boxers.

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

(sighs)

You know, it was never
the same after that.

I thought about a comeback,
but comeback from what?

I was a failure,
all-around failure.

I failed myself,
i failed you.

I couldn't even
face up to you.

Especially

After how
you sent me away.

(exhales)

Kenny knew
all about you.

Oh, he had an album
of all your fights,

And he knew
you hadn't forgotten us

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

And he loved you.

He loved you.

I made sure of that.

But i never heard
from him.

He... He wanted to

Wait until
he was all grown-up.

He wanted you
to know him

As a man

And as a friend.

I don't know
what to say, baby.

You don't have
to say anything.

You don't have
to say anything.

Come here.

(sobbing)
come here.

Come here.

Look at that.

The kid came through.

(whistles)
i checked them out.
They work.

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

What do you mean
"this time"?

And i carried these up
all by myself

While you guys were
out there holding hands.

(hip-hop music playing)

I like my party!

(laughing)

(r&b music playing)

(man grunting)

Woman: Ow!

Man: (grunting)
open up. Open up!

Woman: Ow!

Hurry. (screams)
(man grunting)

Ah, yeah. Uh-huh.
Okay.

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

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

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

Get out!
Come on, come on.

It's my
grandmother's car, man!

In my grandmother's car
with that shit!

Get out of my
motherfucking car.

(engine starting)

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

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

In the old days, huh?

Oh, you gotta
get rid of that.

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

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

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

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

Yeah, now that i done
stashed the shit,

I gotta go load
the weapons,

I gotta drive the car,

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

What you gonna do, boss?

I'm the executive
in charge, brother.

Now you're
an executive brother.

Yeah.

I don't know
about you, man.

(laughs)

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

All right?

I ain't bullshittin'
with you, boy.

Okay, blood.

Give me
the money, boy.

John: The rebels
don't know it,

But they're declaring war
on the diablos tonight.

Jake: Yeah, right.

(car approaching)

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

(all screaming)

(tires screeching)

You want one more?

(chuckles)
why the hell not?

Blood: What the hell
is this, man?

That was
damien's car!

I know that was damien's
motherfuckin' car!

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

And, spyro,
you high yellow bitch!

Come over here fuckin'
with me and my people!

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

What the fuck is
your problem?

Yeah, this means war,
motherfucker!

(pop song playing)

Looks like
a damn good party.

Sure enough.

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

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

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

Caught in a cross fire,
you understand?

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

You are going
to be here.

I'm going to be in
a mayors' convention

In new orleans for
the next five days.

(all screaming)

Raymond.
(laughs)

Rafael.

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

Hey.

What can i do
for you today?

We need some of
that hardware, man.

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

In four to five days.

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

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

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

There is no more.
Spy: Who?

Some old man
and this kid.

He usually rides
on a scooter.

Damien:
Dressed clean square?
With a mustache?

That's him.
That's your man.

It's that fuckin'
john bookman, man.

That ex-football player.

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

Hey, guys,
that's john bookman!

Fuck, man.

Fuck!
Motherfuckers.

Damien: Stop! Stop it!

Huh? Huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yeah.

Now, i know who
hit the diablos!

What the fuck good
does that do us, man?

Blood ain't gonna
believe this shit!

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

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

Fuck no!
I'm going crazy, though!

You're goin'
fuckin' nuts!

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

Oh, man!

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

Have got those
weapons, man!

We gotta go in there
and take them out.

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

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

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

Man, that money
don't mean shit,

I can always
get cream!

I'm a businessman, man!

For real, damien.

I got information,
anything you want to know.

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

Anybody, man.

We can work
as a team, for real.

We can get money, man.

That's what
i'm talkin' about.

This is very
disappointing.

We've shown you nothing
but love, dink.

And respect,
'cause we care about you.

We've always cared
about you.

Say, man,
what is this
coming to though?

This is what
this is comin' to.

Sleep well.

Little word man.

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

He was wrong.

John bookman
tried to cross us
with the diablos!

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

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

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

Burn it all.

(tires screeching)

(screaming)

Help me, somebody!
Help me!

Help me! Help me!

(people panicking)

Jesus, dink.

(coughing)

(sirens wailing)

This is a real tragedy
here, reverend.

All these people
losing their homes.

I sure hope
they got insurance.

Why would you do this?

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

And this is just
the beginning.

All right, what do you
want me to do?

Yeah, i'll tell you.

Bookman bought a bunch
of automatic weapons,

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

What we need to know is
where these weapons are.

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

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

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

Listen, they just torched
grant street.

They killed
the kid dink.

(both exclaim)

He was only
14-years-old!

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

(hip-hop music playing
in car stereo)

Hey, come on, man!
Keep up!

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

Here they come!
Here they come!

Let's go!

(indistinct yelling)

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

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

Look at the
cheaters run.

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

Oh, thanks for
the tip, rev.

We won't never
forget this here.

You got all
their hardware.

They're not a threat
to you anymore.

Why don't you just
let them go?

No, no,
i'll tell you what.

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

All right, all right.
And you did good.

Okay?
All right now.

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

Right.

Well, i guess we
better do ours. Hey.

You take care
of yourself, huh?

Baby, you're
coming back.

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

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

Who's doin'
this shit? Me!

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

All niggers must
be goin' crazy!

Hey, where the guns at?

I don't want
this shit!

Man, give me
this motherfuckin'
chopper, man.

Smooth as shit!

They ought to have
them loaded by now.

Laurie: They're in
for a big surprise.

Give them a target.

(all exclaiming)

Jake: All right,
drop 'em!

Kayo: Shoot him!

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

(laughing)

(groaning)

A little somethin'
for you, marcus.

Hope you liked it.

(indistinct chattering)

(people shouting)

Damn!

(tires screeching)

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

Bubba: Don't try it!

I am holding a .12
gauge semi-automatic
shotgun

Loaded with
double ought.

And it makes
an awful big mess!

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

Put 'em down!

Now back off!

You better
listen to him!

Take a look
up that alley
at your friends.

They're lyin' there
dead!

I said look,
god damn it!

And who do you think
put 'em there?

Spyro and damien
put 'em there!

But where are they now?

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

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

Man, don't nobody
wanna hurt you all.

But you gonna get hurt.
You will get hurt!

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

Y'all get the fuck
outta here.

Everybody except
that guy in red. Move!

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

Hurry up! Move!

Get them last two!

Come here!
God damn it!

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

Where'd you learn
to woof like that?

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

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

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

Bullet went
straight through.

You ought to get
it taken care of.

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

I thought i'd feel better
about going after them

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

They're the same age
as he is.

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

You got that right.

(groaning)

Damn.

These little brothers
tried to burn down
my hardware store.

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

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

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

You just resigned
from the gang,
you got that?

We can't be
out here alone.

Who gonna protect us?

We will.

You heard the man.
Us, the original rebels.

(scoffs) rebels,
it's all good.

Look here, boy.

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

Then get in it!

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

Get up!

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

(john chuckling)

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

Damn, it's about time.

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

Never felt better.
All right.

It sure feels good
all us rebels
back together again,

But, damn,
who's gonna go first?

We all are.

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

I'll be back!

I promise you!
I'm not done yet!

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

(tires screeching)

You know the fact
that john bookman

Used all those
heavy weapons on us!

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

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

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

Nobody had room
for me in the car.

Where the hell are
spyro and damien?

I don't know.

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

Hey, john, you know
a shortcut, man?

Yeah, man, i should.

I worked at
that goddamn place
for five years!

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

(tires screeching)

I guess we better
mop up.

You're gonna be
all right, laurie?

Yeah, i'm gonna
go find marcus.

You got it. Let's go.

I've known blood
all of his life.

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

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

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

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

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

No, no, no,
you done forgotten.

Oh, man!

(laurie gasps)

Marcus, marcus.

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

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

(muttering)

Don't move.

Just stay there.
Just stay there, all right?

(screams)

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

Get the fuck up.

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

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

Now i gotta do
your bitch-ass, too?

You did it?

(grunting)

(screaming)

What the fuck
you gonna do
with that now?

Get up!

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

(gun cocks)

Well, let's find out!

Woman's intuition.

(grunts)

Shit! You're dead now!

(screaming)

Get your fuckin'
ass up, punk!

Let's see what you got,
motherfucker!

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

Son of a bitch!

You killed your son, man.

You killed my son,
motherfucker!

You care about
him now, huh?

You didn't even
know him, man!

I know about you.

You remind me
of my old man, huh.

I didn't know him, but...

You see, i'm your son!

See, you made me
what i am, huh?

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

(both grunting)

(exclaiming softly)

You motherfuckin'...

(yelling)

You son of a bitch!
This is it!

(gun firing)

(exclaiming)

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

Chill.

Mr. Bookman. Mr. Trevor.

It's time we neighbors met.

Let me explain
something to you,
my brother.

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

I won't be
that far away.

Jake: I'm back home, blood.

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

Well, there goes
the neighborhood.

(police sirens wailing)

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

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