Hey, landlord.

Landlady.

Little baby landlord.

Hey, Joey.

Where's my rent?

I see that phrase is
replaced, "hello," for you.

Yeah. I'm sorry,
Joey. You're right.

Hello. Where's my rent?

I'm waiting for my new checks
to come from the bank, roc.

What are you talking about? You
don't even have a bank account.

May be that's why
it's taking so long.

See, Eleanor. If he keeps
this up, his next address

is going to be 1973,
polyester pants wearin' Avenue.

Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson.

Ah, is it okay if I
have a friend over

to study this afternoon?

Well, yes. But you're
gonna have to be very quiet.

Because the baby's sleeping.

Alright, look. I
got a good idea.

Sheila, you and your friend
can study upstairs in your room.

- Just keep the door closed.
- Yeah. That'd be okay.

[Sheila] Come on in.

- This is Terence.
- Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson.

Oh, hello, Terence.

Uh, Sheila, Sheila.

On second thought

the light is much
better in the kitchen.

Eleanor, I don't care
how sweet he looks.

Sheila is too young
to have a boyfriend.

Oh, roc. He's not a boyfriend.

He's just a friend, who
happens to be a boy.

Hey, what's going on?

I'll tell you, pop.
Pop, in the kitchen

sits the beginning of
lots of trouble for all of us.

Uh, alright, son.

I'll admit it.

I threw away a bread heel.

Ohh, daddy, roc's just
being over protective

because Sheila
bought home a friend

who happens to be a boy.

Eleanor, I know how
12 year old boys think.

I used to be one, you know.

Yeah, he had a crush
on this girl, Teresa.

Every day, she'd
walk by the house

he lean out of the window
to try to catch her eye.

The one day he
leaned out so far, he fell.

He landed on the
sidewalk on his head.

He just jumped right back
up, ran back into the house

sat down at the dinner table
like nothing ever happened.

That was the day, we
started calling him roc.

- Oh..
- Alright, pop.

Yeah, well, those were
simpler times, pop. You know.

Today, these kids
grow up too fast.

I'll say, with everything
these kids are exposed to now

if you take a 12 year old
today, put him back in my time

he'd be 47.

Well, I'm just saying, pop,
you know, before we leave

Sheila alone with a boy, we
should get to know him first.

So, I'm gonna go
get to know him.

- Ohh, then I'm coming with you.
- Why?

To give him a ride home
when he beg to get out of here.

Fine..

[Sheila] And, um, Jupiter
has 14 moons, and..

Come on, you're not paying
attention. What is that?

[Clears throat]

Here you are, Sheila.

A nice cold bottle of juice.

There you go. Drink
up. It'll cool you off.

- Thanks, Mr. Emerson.
- Mm-hmm. Okay, Terence.

So, how did you and Sheila meet?

We met in class.
Health and hygiene.

I see, mm-hmm.

That boys and girls take
that together now, huh.

You see how they
spendin' our tax dollars?

Oh, roc.

I was on a report. Sheila
asked a lot of questions.

Ohh yeah? So, what
was this report on?

How teenagers should
be more responsible.

It was called, "the
safest sex is no sex."

Well, that's certainly
the safest choice for you.

Believe me.

So, Terence, what did you
say your last name was?

- Lambert.
- Lambert.

I knew a garbage man
named Terence lambert.

- Mm-hmm.
- He's my grandfather.

Ohh, will you look at
that. It's a small world.

Terence lambert
is your grandfather?

Whoa ho-ho. We used to
call him eagle eye lambert.

He could spot a
good perk miles away.

Just from the balls of the bag.

Perk. That's what
he calls them too.

Nothing in this house
is new, it's mad cool.

Ohh, man. You like perks?

Well, then I'll show you perks.

Let me tell you about this
table you kids are working on.

- Oh, here we go.
- Oh-hoo, yeah, yeah.

It was two years
ago, Valentine's day.

Snow up to my chest. I had
to dig it out of a snow bag.

It was touch and go for
a while. Five of the guys..

♪ Ooh ooh ohh

I swear, Mr. Emerson is
the cheapest man alive.

He makes me rinse
out paper towels.

[Chuckles]

Ah, here comes
Damon and his troop.

Looks like that jacket's
wearing you down.

I think I need to
take it off your head.

Step off, Damon, I'm
not giving you this jacket.

What are you guys
doing here anyways?

You don't even
go to this school.

Come on, punk. Just
give me what I came for.

Forget it, Damon.
You took my shoes

and you took my sweatshirt
the week before that.

This time you're
not gettin' anything.

I see, made your little
speech in front of your girl

but I still want that jacket.

Damon, stop. Come
on, Terence. Let's go.

I'll be waiting
here until I get it.

[Indistinct]

Yeah. Oh, no, no,
man. You gotta come.

No. Hey, hey. You know that
idea we had about the fundraiser.

Check this out.
Okay. Check this out.

I was thinkin' we could
start a music school.

Yeah. Keep the
kids off the street.

Ahh, you like that, huh. Yeah.

Well, yeah, yeah. So, come
by, we'll get some people together

and then we'll kick that deal,
now, huh? Yeah, wh-wait.

Wait a second.

Hey, look, I gotta go, man.
Yeah, the help just arrived.

Okay. Bye, later.

- Joey.
- What?

Where's my rent?

[Sighs]

Ahh... there you go.

Oh, so this is gonna
be the routine, huh?

After I ask for the
20th time before I get it.

Well, I can't give it to you
the first time you ask, roc.

I-I'd feel so cheap. I
wouldn't respect myself.

Yeah, that's very funny. You
just better make sure you know

you owing time with
the rent next month.

No. Excuse me. Next week.

[Telephone rings]

Look, if you're gonna
hang around here, roc

why don't you do something
useful, okay? Draw me a bear.

Hey.

Hey, Amy, how you doing?

Yeah, yeah. We're gonna get
some people together tonight

and talk about
that fundraiser idea.

- 9 o'clock. Great.
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

- Okay, okay, I'll see you..
- No, no, no, no, no.

You-you havin' people over
here? No, no. No parties.

Roc, this is not a party.

Joey, I know you. It's
gonna turn into a party.

And whenever you have a
party, somehow, someway

it ends up costing me money.

Roc, this is my place. Now,
you can't, you can't stop me

from bringing people over here.

Okay, okay, I can't stop
you, but if you're not going to

respect my wishes, then
do me just one favor, huh.

Don't invite me.

[Scoffs] I had no
intentions of inviting you.

The only people coming over
here tonight are musicians.

And banging on trash cans
does not make you one.

That's all I got
to say about this.

Hey, Joey, you like using
my, like, old TV here?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm..

You like having heat
up in this apartment?

- Mm-hmm..
- Mm-hmm..

Well, then, you better
start treating me nice.

I'd rather pay
twice as much rent.

Mm-hmm. Well, you just have.

Ohh, you..

Hey, hey, roc.
I'm calling police.

♪ Ooh ooh ooh

oh, they're still here. Let's
just go the other way, alright.

No, Sheila, I can't
keep runnin' away.

Let's make this
easy on everybody.

So, just give me
the damn jacket.

- Just leave me alone.
- I'm gonna bust you up!

[Sheila] Damon, stop!

Man, I'm warnin'
you, leave me alone.

What you gonna do?

Back off.

You all hear me? Back off.

Oh, so, you wanna
play that game?

Well, it's on now.

[Indistinct chatter]

- It worked.
- Are you out of your mind?

Put that thing back in your bag.

Sheila, I had to do somethin'.

But you don't pull a
gun on a guy like that.

He's not just gonna
take that from you.

Well, it's over now. Come
on, let's get out of here.

Oh, my god!

[Roc] 'Hey, Eleanor.
Look who's here.'

Sheila and my main man, Terence.

We don't have time
to hang, Mr. Emerson.

We're just going into the
kitchen to do our homework.

Oh, you got plenty
of time in fact.

Come on, have a
seat. Let's talk. In turns.

I'd tell you about the time
how I got that television.

Oh, man. You know, your
grandfather was with me...

Oh, hey, kids.

- How you guys doing, huh?
- Okay.

And how did you do
on that science test?

What's wrong?

Nothing. It was just
a really hard test.

Oh, you're both smart
kids. I'm sure you did fine.

What is wrong with you two?

What's in this,
what's in this bag?

Oh, my god!

What are you doing
with this? Whose is this?

- M-Mine.
- Where did you get it?

I bought it from this guy
who hangs out in the park.

Well, what do you need
a gun for? It's crazy.

A kid like you havin' a gun?

That's what I told.

There's this kid
in school, Damon.

Who's pressing up
on me all the time.

He took my shoes and
now he wants my jacket.

No way was I
gonna let him have it.

So, you bought a gun to
school to stop someone

from taking your jacket.

Does your parents
know about this?

No, and please don't tell 'em.

Oh, well, I'm sorry.
They're gonna have to know.

Sheila, you come with me.
I'm calling Terence's mom.

Terence, Terence.
What are you doin'?

I though you were a smart kid.

Solving a problem like
this with a gun is stupid.

You know what, there are
other ways to deal with it.

Mr. Emerson, it's not
like when you were a kid.

I can't just Duke it out with
this guy on the playground.

If you want to stand up for
yourself, you gotta be strapped.

Son... do you know what
you're getting yourself into here?

All I know was that Damon
is always picking on me.

When I flashed my piece, he
was afraid of me for the first time.

- It felt good.
- Well, it felt good, huh?

Well, let me tell you
something, Terence.

I'm gonna give you the straight
up truth about carryin' a gun.

Once you have
it, and you flash it

and you see the fear
in the other guy's eyes

I mean, that taste of
power, can seem very sweet

but it can't last because the
answer to a gun is a bigger gun.

And this guy, Damon is
going to be coming after you.

Does he run around with a gang?

- Sort of.
- Sort of?

Well, now, his gang
is your problem too.

What am I supposed to do?

Well, you gotta
give up the jacket.

It ain't worth dying for.

I mean, what's going on
with you kids is insane.

Terence, your father
wants to talk to you.

Wait a minute. Hold on here.

You know this kid, Damon's
last name and where he lives?

Yeah, evers. He live
on smallworth street.

Eleanor.

I'm gonna go by this kid,
Damon's house and talk

to his parents and also
gonna talk to the principal

of that school, and everybody's
gonna sit down together

and try to figure somethin' out.

You now, 'cause I promise you

these other kids have
guns too, you know.

And we better get
them out of their hands

before somebody gets shot.

Don't you worry, sweetheart.
We're gonna take care of this.

[Humming]

- Hey, sweetheart.
- Ohh, hey, baby.

So, how did it go over
there at that Damon's house?

Mmm, ohh, I talked to
his mother, you know.

I mean, that poor woman's
got her hands full, you know.

There's no father in
the house, you know.

And she's got four other
kids she's trying to feed

and keep straight, you know.

She hasn't seen
Damon in two days.

Oh, roc, that figures.

There's so many
single mothers out there

with this very same problem.

Eleanor, I don't
know how they do it.

I mean, it's hard enough living
in this world with two parents.

Mmm, mm, mmm. Ohh, by
the way Joey called down.

He said, "you can come up
and have a bite. You're welcome."

Mmm-mm, I cannot go up there
and have a good time, you know.

Knowing that somehow, his little
gathering is costing me money.

Oh, roc, you don't know that.

Whenever Joey has a
good time, it costs me money.

Think about it.
Whenever he's at a track,

he's happy, it costs me money.

Whenever he eats my food,
he's happy. It costs me money.

Even in his sleep,
he's costing me money.

'Cause he's dreamin' of a
way to spend my money.

Roc, you're right. Don't
go over to Joey's place.

You go see a doctor.

Well, I better go over there
and you know and tell him

to keep it down before things
get out of hand, you know.

'Cause, see, if he got a
whole lot of people together

and he start wrecking
things, I mean, that'll cost me

a whole lot of money.

Roc, please remember that
those people are Joey's guests.

Just don't embarrass him
and pass that hat around

like you tried to
do at our weddin'.

Ohh, okay.

[Indistinct chatter]

Hey, hey, hey. Hold it.
Hold it. Hold up, everybody.

Okay. Now look, we got,
we all got lot of good ideas

about how to raise money to
build this music school, right?

Well, we can't all
talk at the same time.

Come on, y'all, let's
focus on one thing.

[Knock on door]

Hey, Joey. Hey, Joey,
look. Ya'll gotta keep it down.

- It's too loud in here.
- Alright. Alright. Alright.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hold up, everybody, okay.

Now, please, let's
decide on some, alright.

I think the bet idea
we've had so far is

organizing this benefit concert.

Wait a minute, I know we all
want to build a music school

to get the kids off the street,
but I'm not sure a concert

is the best way to raise money.

He's right. Maybe
we should start with

something smaller
and easier to do.

Well, you see that, that's why
nothin' ever really gets done.

You know, I mean, I'm
all for your music school.

Anything that keeps
kids out of trouble is great.

But if you start off
talking about how hard it is

and all the reasons it
won't work, you're gonna talk

to yourselves out of
doing anything that's good.

Who invited him?

Oh, hey, listen, listen now.
Come on, now. You gotta admit.

My brother's got a good point.

Even though, he
expressed in his usual

pushy, butting in obnoxious way.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Now, listen y'all.

If we're gonna make
any kind of difference, y'all

we gotta aim high.

Well, if we wanna, if
we wanna stage a benefit

that's gonna raise
that kind of money

the only place
that's big enough is

well, the armory.

And regarding with the
armory, it isn't going to be cheap.

Well, then, so what?

You just go out there
and you raise the money

and you rent the armory.

You're right, but the
fund raising has to start

right here with the
people in this room.

We should give
till it hurts. Okay?

Joey, put me down for, uh,
say now, this is gonna hurt.

Uhh, a hundred bucks.

Hey! Alright, Jim..

[Indistinct]

Well, on second thought, I think
Paula should be the treasurer.

[Indistinct chatter]

Put me in for a hundred too.

[Indistinct chatter]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, roc, roc.

How much can we put you in for?

[Stammers]

I'm a little short right now.

How can you be short? I
just gave you rent money.

Ohh, ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, I forgot about
that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Put me down for seven dollars.

[Indistinct chatter]

Oh, I was only playin'.

Ha ha, I was only kiddin', ya'll
gonna give me a headache.

Um, uh, okay, okay,
I'll tell you what.

Put me down for, pu-put
me down for a $100.

[All cheering]

Well, Jack, you were
right, this party did end up

costin' you some money.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

No, it didn't.

Hey, hey, hey, lock
the door. Lock the door.

[Indistinct chatter]

Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson.

Terence is outside. There's
something he want to say to you.

May he come in?

- Well, of course he can.
- Yeah, why not?

Come on in.

- Hello, Terence.
- Hello.

I didn't know whether I was
welcome after what happened.

Well, you're always
welcome in this house, son.

What do you have to say?

I'm sorry about bringing
that gun in to your home.

It was real stupid.

Stupid? No, tracking dirt
into the house is stupid.

Bringing a gun is madness.

I don't know what you kids
today think you're doing.

Well, I'm not doing it anymore.

Thought about what you
said and you were right.

Oh, it's good that you
recognized that now, son.

Yeah, and thank god,
you got to the principal

and those other boy's
parents and got them involved.

Maybe now, we can
cool this situation out.

Enough to make that
school a little bit safer.

Well, I'm not messing
with guns anymore.

Well, that's the wisest choice.

Now, if it's okay with you,
we're gonna go into the kitchen

and do our history homework.

But first I was gonna
run down to the corner

and get us some ice cream.

Oh, that sounds like a good
idea, and to show you that

there's no hard feelings,
the ice cream on roc.

Here's a dollar.
Bring back my change.

Ohh, roc, the boy's gonna
need more than a dollar.

Ohh, well, you know,
not if you get one scoop

and you bring your own cone.

In fact, I think we got
some cones in the cupboard.

Roc, give that boy
more than a dollar.

Ohh, alright..

Here's another dollar.

Here..

Bring the change back..

Thanks. Don't worry,
I'll get you a good deal.

[Roc] Ha-ha-ha, okay.

Ahh, I guess he's
basically a good kid.

All those kids are good kids.
They need a little guidance.

[Gunshot]

[Screams]

- Terence! Terence is out.
- Get down, get down.

[Baby crying]

[Roc] 'Oh, pop. Pop!'

get an ambulance.
Get an ambulance.

Sheila, uh..

I'm sorry, but
he-he didn't make it.

He wasn't my friend.

I know. I know.

Roc.

What is happening in this city?

I don't know, baby.

I don't know.

How many kids have to kill
each other before we see?

There have already
been thousands.

Thousands of beautiful,
gifted kids, whose lives

are over.

There will be no future
for them. No tomorrow.

All their great potential
is wasted forever.

These are our own
kids, killing each other.

Our own kids are doing

what 300 years of
slavery couldn't do.

What the ku klux
klan couldn't do.

And what all the ugly racism
we've faced for generations

couldn't do.

They're threatening our spirit.

Breaking our hearts and
destroying us from within.

Now, Martin Luther
King didn't die for that.

Not to see our own children
threatening the survival

of our people. Malcom
x didn't die... For that.

I know how hard it is out there.

I know how hopeless it
feels, the epidemic of drugs

the lack of jobs

the deprivation and
killing our community.

And almost, it seems like almost
nothing is being done about it.

I know that.

But killing ourselves
is not the answer.

Now, parents, we
must take responsibility.

You know, we have to take our
children back and gain control.

It is our individual
responsibility to do this.

To get our children back.

We cannot let this
slaughter continue.

We got to go on together.

And we have to live.

To realize the promise

of our great
struggle, for all of us.

If you or someone you
love has been a victim

of a violent crime
and need information

you call the
national victim centre

at 1800-fyi-call.

And if you need help immediately

house nine line

Let's end the violence
in our community

and among our youths.
