Original subtitles

In all tribal cultures, every village had a sentinel.

Now, a sentinel is chosen because of a genetic advantage.

A sensory awareness that can be developed beyond normal humans.

Your time spent in Peru has got to be connected with what's happening to you

now.

I've got hundreds of documented cases of one or two hyperactive senses, but not

one single subject was all fine.

You could be the real thing.

So you think he's going

to eat it? Of course you do.

It doesn't matter, does it?

You've seen this thing, what, 35 times? You could watch it another 35.

As soon as I put Lassie on, you are gone.

You're gone.

Why is that?

Even though they don't show R -rated

movies.

Hold that thought, all right?

Hello? Yeah, it's Allison.

Oh, great, man. I'll let you in.

I got your video camera. Oh, great, great.

Not so fast. You need to pay attention.

I got this camera from Carol. It's a partner. I borrowed it. Anything happens

it, my ass is out of the line.

All right. I'm good.

Larry. Larry, Jim. Jim, Larry.

I met a couple of these guys in the jungle.

Don't stare, man. They take that as a sign of aggression. Right, right.

All right.

Where's your subject matter?

Larry. I thought this was supposed to be some big research project. Oh, it is.

It is.

You see, I'm doing a paper on the short -term effects of concentrated television

violence on primates.

How many chimps do you know that watch TV?

This isn't a chimpanzee. It's a Barbary ape.

And the behavioral pattern of a Barbary ape is, like, remarkably similar to a

human being.

Maybe in your family tree.

What was that?

Was that a mousetrap? Oh, no, no, no.

Mice are, like, small and cute, but these are vicious.

Dave, how can you live like this? Where else am I going to get 10 ,000 square

feet for $850 a month?

So Ron and Jason, what are they doing here?

Better let them in.

You guys ain't walking tonight.

You cover the front.

Hey, buddy, how about a can of beer or something?

I'm sure they're in the fridge.

I'll take one.

That's great.

They're in the fridge.

Turn that down, quick.

What is it?

I thought I heard gunfire.

It's just the TV, man.

It looked like when the gasoline went up, the chemical precursor exploded,

That's what tore out the wall.

You know, with all the stuff they had around here, man, this was a major drug

lab. Good work, Taggart. There's one thing missing. What? The drugs.

Jim!

Down here.

I've asked the anti -gang unit to get involved with this. I think you know

Lieutenant Williams here, Detective Ellison, Captain Taggart. Taggart. Oh,

I think we worked that case last year together.

I thought you gave up smoking.

I did.

Problem is, smoking didn't give up on me.

He lives here with Earl Gaines, one of the best men in Williams' unit.

Gaines. Hey.

I remember that game winner you made against Storgen, 93.

It was a hell of a catch.

Yeah, I had a few lucky plays.

All right, what do you got, Jim?

Well, so far, we've only been able to ID two of the bodies.

Maurice Brown and an Eldridge Wardell.

They're both known gangbangers with extensive rap sheets, and the others

not sure of yet.

Byron Walker, Darnell Devane, and Vernon Sims.

Who's that?

Byron Walker, Darnell Devane, and Vernon Sims.

How do you know?

I had a look at the bodies as they were being loaded into the coroner's van.

They're all members of the 357s. So you really think this is a 357 lab?

No doubt. So we're not talking about some punk wannabe gang here. Wait a

The 357s are big time.

Who'd be crazy enough to hit them?

What about the deuces?

Not likely.

The deuces are their main rivals, I feel as if it makes more sense.

There's been a truce between the deuces and the 357s for over a year.

Yeah, well, truces break down, Earl. I think we would have heard about it

than this. I've known the deuces leader Antoine Hollins most of my life. He made

a promise to stop the killing. It's hard for me to believe he would just throw

that away.

Someone sure as hell did.

You mean to tell me that all the time you lived here, you never once expected

live next door to an ice lab? Oh, man, I swear that place was deserted.

I mean, last week I did start to hear some strange noises in the middle of the

night, but I could have sworn it was just like the plumbing. Hey, Larry.

you know, the rodents or something. I don't know. Is this all your stuff?

Yeah, it's most of it.

I'll have to try to come back tomorrow and put the rest in the storage.

It's just the worst. Where am I going to stay?

I don't know. Hotel?

Hostel? Something?

That's fine for me, but what about Larry?

Put him in a kennel. He'll figure it out. I can't do that to him.

I mean, my project's due next Friday.

Unless... No, no, no.

Don't forget it. Just forget it. Come on, Jim. Jim, please, please, please. My

back is up against the wall here, man. I got nowhere else to go.

I'm just not a big fan of animals and kids.

Larry! Larry, he's no problem, man. No trouble at all. I mean, he's been around

people his whole life. Heck, he's more human than most of my friends.

And that's supposed to reassure me? Jim, one week. One week. And I promise, I

promise we'll be out of your hair. Come on.

One week, man.

All right, look.

One week. You or the gorilla act up and you're out. All right?

He's not a gorilla.

Look, you already hurt his feelings.

You know, I'm already beginning to regret this.

So how are you and your roommates getting along?

Don't ask.

He makes all these weird noises.

He eats stuff I can't even look at. I mean, he smells funny. All he does is

watch TV all day.

And it drives me crazy.

Monkey's okay about it.

Oh, uh, your guest of honor just arrived.

Mr. Antoine Hollins himself.

Oh, uh, Jim.

Look, I've asked Earl Gaines to sit in on your interrogation of Antoine. Oh,

come on, Simon.

What, you got a problem with that?

Well, maybe Gaines wasn't a gangster himself, but the personal connection

of bothers me. I don't want him around in my way if I choose to hardball

Hollins. Come on, Tim, now I brought Earl into the department.

He may be young and green, but he's got a lot of potential.

Frankly, I think he could learn a lot from you.

All right, sure, call.

Excuse me.

Whose idea was it to bring Antoine Hollins in for questioning?

Actually, it was mine.

Figures. Look, I know Hollins. I could have talked to him in private outside

station.

Come on, you think he'd admit it to you if the deuces hit that drug lab?

Well, instead you figure some tin -flashing white man is going to make him

over. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.

Look, Earl, Jim and I talked this over, and I happen to agree with it. It's a

bad move.

Well, the decision's been made, so why don't you just live with it?

It's you.

Look, you're a good cop, Earl, but you need to learn when to give your attitude

and your mouth a rest.

Deuces had nothing to do with those dudes getting capped. They just

shot each other and blew the place up, huh?

After they accidentally flushed several million dollars worth of vice down the

toilet. If you want Q &A, you watch what you like, because I ain't got a damn

thing to say to you. I've got five bodies and solid motive.

Talk to me now, Hollins.

Because when the evidence backs me up, you are looking at life in lockdown, and

we're not cutting a deal.

You want to charge me? Go for it.

Get out of my face.

Okay.

If you're innocent, you just tell me who did it. You got the badge you figured

out. I already did, Antoine.

And you're going down.

Oh, you got me shaking down.

Get him out of here.

Move work, detective.

Move work.

Yo, Twan.

What's up with you?

Easy,

man. We're cool.

Thank you.

You ain't got no money. I'll be back.

He ain't gonna be back.

He's gonna take you out.

Oh, he's gonna take you out? Yeah.

How's Grandma, Mom?

She still cooks supper on Sunday.

You know, she keeps asking why you don't come by anymore.

Oh, man, the head of the deuces rolling up through her neighborhood in broad

daylight?

That ain't happening, brother.

Talk to me, Twine.

I know the deuces didn't do that laugh.

Tell that to the 357s.

How bad is it?

It's all falling apart, man.

You know how hard it worked to make that truth.

Who did the hit?

You ain't gonna believe me. Why not?

Because it was a cop.

Straight up, man. See, that's why I didn't tell you down at that station.

Who is it, Twine?

I'm working on it. Give me a couple days and I'll hang up for you.

All right.

It's going to get bad.

And it ain't like the hood.

You can watch it back in the water.

That's all.

Say hello to Grandma.

You tell her yourself.

Thunder. Five o 'clock.

Five o 'clock. Guys. Okay.

Yeah, let me, uh... You know, Deuce? Yeah,

you ain't so wild now, huh?

That's what he said.

No.

No, I just don't buy it. Neither do I.

Hollins give you a name?

No.

Look, we all know Antoine Hollins was a gangbanger, but he was my best friend.

Now, the truth was the most important thing in his life. There's no way he

ever betray it. Look, we all hear what you're saying, Earl, but I think your

judgment is a little crowded. A friend of yours was killed.

I think you're too personally involved.

That's why I've had to have you reassigned.

Reassigned?

You know, I expect to be screwed by white folks. Oh, come on, Earl. But I

think I'd get it from a couple of brothers. You are out of my game. Look,

is not about black or white. This is about you doing your damn job, brother.

I guess you hang with the suits long enough, you forget where you come from.

He's a little hot -headed.

I thought so.

Don't take it personally, Simon.

It's just blowing off steam.

Yeah, I know.

Just hit a little close to the hole.

All right, put your hands where I can see them. Jim, wait a minute. It's me.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot, man.

What the hell happened here? Larry and I, we were watching The Wild Bunch,

right? And he just, I opened the cage to give him some popcorn, and he just

freaked out. He, like, tried to bite me, and he took off, and I thought I had

him upstairs in the closet, but he gave me the lift.

He escaped?

Yeah.

Oh, man, that's great. What are you doing?

I'm calling animal control. Yeah, animal control, please. Oh, Jim, you can't do

that. It could be dangerous if he tried to bite you. No, he's not. He's not.

He's just a little, he's high strung. I mean, it's all the television violence

he's been watching. He just must have snapped.

If you turn him over to animal control, I'm not going to have enough time. Well,

you should have thought about it sooner. You better go find him and first warn

the neighbors. Come on, out.

Yeah, I'd like to report a lost Barbary ape.

No, he's not a gorilla. He's an ape.

Permit.

Come in, get it.

Eggs are almost done. Scrambled firm, just the way you like them, right?

Good morning.

Have a seat, man.

If you think this little courtship ritual here is going to change my mind

throwing your butt out... No, no, no, no.

If Larry can survive out there without a roof over his head, I'm sure that I

can, too.

I thought you were panicked about your project. What happened?

Well, I was.

Then I called the grants office in order to get an extension, and it turns out

that the department chairman has been called out of town for two weeks, so I

have ample time to procure myself a new subject.

I don't know.

You'd think it's something small, sweet.

Maybe a nice orangutan, something like that, huh?

What the hell happened to your old subject?

Who, Larry?

I don't know.

Animal control's still looking for him. And until they find him, well, I'm all

yours, little buddy.

Well, that's a very generous offer, but I think you'd be a little in over your

head.

You know, Jim,

A couple years ago, I did an extensive study on tribal warriors who share

remarkably similar behavioral patterns to American street gangs.

You know, these days, with a comment like that, people can lose their jobs.

Tim, this has nothing to do with race, man.

This is about dominance and submission of subgroups.

As a matter of fact, a colleague of mine predicted the outcome of a key U .S.

Senate vote last year based on the same model.

It's simple, really, once you think about it. In all male -dominated, power

-based subgroups, antagonistic action by one group is usually met with equal to

or greater antagonistic action by another.

Meaning what?

Meaning that now that the deuces think that the 357s killed Antoine, they're

going to have to retaliate. Their code of honors will demand it.

So escalation is inevitable.

Unless I can prove to one group that the other group is innocent.

That's exactly what you're going to have to do.

Oh, oh, okay, good, good, good.

Hey, now you guys remember what I told you. You watch me, not the QB.

All right?

I'll burn you every time.

No, no, no. You know the rules.

You want to play flag, you don't wear the rag.

I don't want to hear it.

Don't want to hear it.

Give me the sign. Take the sign off.

Hey, yo, guys.

No colors on the field, man.

How do I?

Go. Let's go. How do I?

Take them. You guys go ahead and run the play. I'll be right back.

Okay?

What are you doing here?

I'm not sure any of you know.

And neither is Simon Banks.

So maybe we could talk cop to cop.

I just need a few minutes with you.

Yeah, okay.

Yo, Corey.

Run up to the passenger until I get back.

You feel like walking?

Yeah.

Tell me about Antoine Holmes.

We grew up together.

He knew that playing ball was my ticket out.

So he thought to it, nobody mess with me.

Even make sure I hit the books.

As my knee blew out, came home, put school, hung out a couple weeks long

feeling sorry for myself.

By that time, Antoine was pretty straight, looking for a way to make

better.

When he saw what I was messing with, clean me up, throw me back to school.

He said, if I came home without a degree, he'll kill me.

Last couple of years, all he talked about was how America ain't going no

than these young black men can help carry it.

Either that or we all go down together.

Yeah.

You know, the other day when I brought Hollins in for questioning, you were

right. I'm sorry. I should have listened.

The argument's here.

But I was out alive.

You think Collins was telling the truth that cops involved in the hit on the

drug lab?

Twan was no thing, but he never lied to me.

All right.

Well, the deuces did not put the hit on the drug lab.

And the 357 didn't kill Antoine.

Now, we got to find out who did or we're going to have a major gang.

We?

I'm off the case, remember?

All I'm saying is that if you find out anything, If you hear anything, I'd

appreciate the information.

I'll keep that in mind.

Diehard.

You want to see me?

Yeah, come on in.

Get the door, will you?

Now, what you're about to hear has to stay in this room. I know you understand

that.

Forensics just finished the tests on those slugs taken from the two

killed in that drug lab. They matched two weapons that were supposed to be an

evidence lockup.

Both weapons disappeared the day before yesterday, sometime between 3 p .m. and

midnight. Now, there were only three officers who signed into the lockup case

during that time.

We checked on two of them, and they came up clean.

The third one was Earl Gaines.

Gaines!

Gaines!

Open up! We have a warrant!

Williams. Look, I know Gaines has always been a hard ass, but he's straight up.

We're wasting our time here.

Yeah, well, I hope you're right.

Break it down.

Get out of my way, man. I gotta call my grandma. She's sick.

Hey, look, man. Grandma's fine.

We just wanted to talk. About what? About your situation.

Antoine's history.

Pretty soon, the deuce is gonna be history, too.

Officer Gaines. That's me, man.

Turns you back on your own.

But now your cop friends think you do.

That's right, ain't nobody around to cover your ass no more.

You keep snooping around the hood and somebody gonna break down and blow your

ass over to the next block.

So my advice is... Disappear.

I ain't gonna know where I'm gonna go.

And anytime you and your gangster fool friends think you can make me do a

ghost...

Then come on down.

You want to do it now, huh?

You want to do it now?

Then go for it, G.

Dodge City, blood.

Your call.

We'll talk again, Leroy.

We'll talk again.

Count on it.

Did it smoke bother you?

I just have a pretty sensitive nose.

Captain, we found these in the bedroom.

Easy.

I always knew Gaines was involved in gang, but I thought he was clean.

I don't know, Simon. Doesn't it seem kind of dumb to you?

A stash of drugs and a murder weapon in your house?

Who would go to the trouble of framing him? I don't know.

Look, just because James was a cop, that doesn't mean I can treat him any

different. I have to treat him like any other suspect.

I understand that. It just seems to me... If he's innocent, he'll get his

court. If he's guilty, the sooner we get his ass off the streets, the better.

Yo, you want to talk, man, make it fast, all right?

Don't look good for the leader of the 357 to be chatting with no cop.

Now, your message said what? You have some important information about my crew

getting captured at the warehouse?

I lied. You lied.

Yeah, the truth is, I'm trying to find out who's responsible for the killings.

And I figured if I came right out with it, you'd tell me to go to hell. No

question, which is exactly what I'm telling you right now, man. Go to hell.

You know, that's some very fragrant weed you have in your trunk here.

It's Honduran red, right?

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

Come on, man. I smelled it from over there.

You bugging? No, you're bugging. You're getting worried, huh? Because I can

smell that, too.

Hold on a second.

This is Detective Ellison. Have the K -9 squad stand by. All right, hold up,

man.

What is it that you want?

I want to know who killed Antoine Holland.

I'm sure you do, but the .357 is clean on that. The .357 had the most reason.

The deuces hit your drug lab.

What drug lab?

This is Ellison again. All right, all right. Bring your dogs in. All right,

up, hold up.

Here it is.

Okay, straight up.

Day after the hit, right?

Antoine comes and he's like, him and the deuces ain't have nothing to do with

that.

And he asked me for a week so he could find out who really did it.

And you believed him?

I can't say if I did or if I didn't, man.

But I definitely gave him that week, though, you know what I'm saying?

Because a gang war don't do nothing but kill a whole lot of brothers and bring

down a whole lot of heat.

And I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe you didn't put the hit on Hollins, but maybe one of your crew went out and

did it on his own. You crazy, man?

None of my crew would ever make a move like that without my permission.

Look, Tyrell, I think Hollins was telling the truth.

Maybe somebody's trying to play the 357s and the deuces off against each other.

Do me a favor and give me the same week you gave Antoine.

Can't do that, man. If it is somebody else, you're going to let them play you

like a puppet, huh?

Make you and your crew look like a bunch of fools?

All right.

I'll hold off for 48 hours. That's if the deuces don't make a move. But check

it. If they do,

the street's going to run red, kid.

Allison. It's Earl.

Where the hell are you? Around.

Saw a little cop party at my place.

What'd they find?

Ice. And one of the guns used in the drug lab hit.

It was stolen from evidence lockup. It's a sit -up.

You got to know that.

Man, you got to come in.

Forget it.

Banks is a straight shooter. He's going to make sure you're protected.

I'll take my chances on the streets.

Come on, Earl. You've got to trust somebody.

I need a favor first.

Then we'll talk.

I need someone to look after my grandmother.

She's all alone and she's nearly blind.

Going somewhere?

Social services.

Hey, that's government property.

Never mind.

Whose welfare are you taking away?

Oh, no, no, on the contrary.

See, there's actually several residents in this building who have had their

social security checks underpaid.

And I just need to go in and fill out some paperwork in order to rectify the

situation.

So you're the rectifier, is that it?

Yeah, that's exactly it.

Go on.

It's nice.

Very nice.

Thanks. Excuse me.

Miss Lacroix.

I need to talk to you about your grandson, Earl Gaines.

Hi, I'm Blair Sandberg.

You the police?

No. No, I'm just a friend.

Thanks.

Look, we really need to get you out of here.

This is my home.

I ain't leaving it. I don't exactly know how to say this, but it may not be

safe. It ain't safe out there, neither.

Now, I ain't been out here in two years after visiting my neighbors or cleaning

up the hallway, and I ain't about to start now. Ma 'am, you are not listening

me. You're in danger.

Of what?

Those children with their loud music and their guns?

They don't worry me none.

That's great.

Um, you mind if I use your phone?

Help yourself.

Something that I don't understand though.

I know that you have family so so why do you live alone?

Especially in a neighborhood like this. It's because I live by my lonesome.

Don't mean I'm alone.

Folks in this building watch out for each other.

These, uh, these neighbors of yours, do you think that we could call a meeting?

You gotta be more careful, Jason.

It's used to getting a little dangerous these days.

Thought maybe you and I could have a little talk. You know, brother to

I want to talk about LeRoy and that little star here.

Turn around. Right there.

Now, I know LeRoy killed Antoine and your partner.

So I figured you were driving.

Who put you up to it? I don't know what you're talking about.

When are you going to tell me?

He's gone.

Hey, we got a problem.

Jason's in the hospital.

No, they just brought him out of surgery.

It was that chump Earl Gaines that shot him.

Man, I'm going to enjoy pumping that sucker full of bullets. Don't worry

him. Between the cops and the 357, he'll be dead by sunrise. Now, where is the

stuff? It's over here.

Man, what are we going to do about Jason?

We've got no choice.

He talked.

We're finished.

Yeah, well, I hate to cap a friend, but, uh...

Brother got to look out for his own first.

Exactly right, Leron.

Exactly right.

I'm looking for Jason Garvey's room. Who are you?

I'm Detective Ellison.

And there should have been a uniformed cop on duty at the door. Now, what

happened to him? He went down to the morgue with the body. What body? What

you talking about? Jason Garvey.

He came out of surgery. He was fine. Your cop friend went to get a copy from

machine. While he was gone, he stopped breathing.

Could you just stop that, please?

And give me a couple minutes to examine the room.

Okay. Suit yourself.

Allison. It's Earl.

Where are you, man? You were supposed to call me hours ago.

I got a little busy.

Busy?

Doing what?

Shooting Jason Garvey? I didn't shoot nobody.

I mean, we got to talk.

Right now.

For what? So you can turn me in?

You were running out of options, Mandela.

Where can we meet?

Hey, we're going to get by now, all right?

Yeah, what's up?

Any news on gang?

Nah, man. It's like you're crawling into a hole, man.

Yo, you know what? Forget this, man. Go pick up that old lady.

All right, go pick her up, but once we got her, he gonna come down.

Go ahead, man.

Yo,

Mr. LaCroix, I gotta talk to you. It's about your boy, Earl.

I'll get this.

You okay? If worse comes to worse, I'll be hearing my late husband sing the

blues again.

Let's hope not.

Yeah, you're going to have to come with us, ma 'am.

We're going to take you to him.

I know that voice.

That's Sylvia Hayes, boy.

Marker. Come on, we ain't got much time.

Just a minute.

I need to take my medicine.

I'm warning you. Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet the Roosevelt Garden Safety

Committee.

Out of my way, you fool.

You're going to shoot me?

You're going to shoot all of us?

Now, where are you going?

We're not scared of you, Marcus.

We ain't scared of your punk friends, neither.

Now, get!

Get!

I had to make sure you weren't being watched.

Hey, listen, I know you're taking a chance, and I'm grateful.

What did you want to meet about?

Tell me about Garvey.

We were fighting in this alley. My gun went fine.

Somebody picked it up and shot it.

Garvey went to the hospital.

He died after surgery.

Now, Garvey should have survived that wound.

I think he was murdered in the recovery room by Lieutenant Williams.

But why?

I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out.

Could Williams be tied to Antoine's death?

LaRon Maxwell and Jason Garvey killed Antoine.

They also planted the ice and the guns in my place.

But Tyrell Lang thwarted me to 357.

We're clean on the Hollins murder.

Maybe LaRon and Jason are working on a renegade move.

Antoine said there was a dirty cow working from 357. He must have met

Okay. So Williams talks LaRon and Jason into hitting their own drug lab, right?

So they steal the ice and they split the profits, and then they get the deuces

to take the fall.

Right, and once Antoine got onto the deal, Williams had Lorraine and Jason

him and makes it look like a 3 -5 -7 get -back. That's right.

And Williams knows that Antoine talked to you, so he's getting a little

He frames you to get you out of the way.

All right, it all lays out except for one thing. Why kill Jason Garvey? Fear

greed.

Jason might spill to the police.

And with Jason out of the way, there's more profit.

Jim, one thing I know all about for you. He's a methodical son of a bitch. That

means Leron Maxwell could be next. And he's the only gangster we can swear to

get the truth from.

Yes, Detective Ellison. I need no points on Leron Maxwell.

He's a member of the 357th Street Gang.

Where?

Got it.

There.

Leron's dead.

He's been shot.

They got the weapon changed, and they called in the serial number.

It's your gun.

Oh, Nick.

Come on, Jim. At least tell me what all these secrets he has about. I don't...

Earl?

What the hell is going on? Simon, please, come on. Have you lost your

You're harboring a fugitive. Would you have come here if I told you he was

Come on, Earl. You know the drill. Up against the wall.

Simon, I'm being framed.

I don't need to hear this. Simon, you know me. I'm not a murderer.

Would you just listen to what we have to say, please?

All right, talk fast.

Here's Lieutenant Williams' phone records for the last three months. The

highlighted in yellow for Leron Maxwell.

Orange is Jason Garvey.

Well, the only problem with all those guys is that even if I buy it, it's not

going to hold up in court. Now, we need hard evidence. I know. We think we got a

way to get it.

Williams stole a half a million dollars worth of ice, but none of it showed up

on the streets yet.

Which means he's been waiting to move it. Waiting for what?

Well, think about it.

Williams wouldn't want to sell stolen ice in Cascade. No.

He'd probably want to do it out of town.

Out of state.

Right. My friend tracked the out -of -state calls.

There were several to a San Francisco number.

They belonged to a John Magnuson.

I called a buddy with FFPD.

John Magnuson is a major West Coast drug dealer. So we did some nosing around.

Guess what?

Magnuson is due in at Cascade this afternoon. His flight arrives at 4 p .m.

think he's here to buy the ice?

This time of year, he ain't coming for the sunshine.

Airport security says Magnuson and his people rented a dark blue Lincoln Town

car. They left the rental out about five minutes ago.

That's him right there.

How can you see that far?

Good eyes.

Two, this is One. We're on the move.

Copy that, Number One.

Good.

I need all available units down at the container yard. Second American, now!

All right! On the drop!

Drop the drop! Now! Now!

How'd you make that shot from way back there?

Like I said, good eye.

Hey, Grandma.

What you been up to, boy?

You are all skin and bones.

Good work, Zandberg.

Oh, no. No, it wasn't me, Jim.

Jim, I want you to meet Miss Lila Lacroix. Ah, Miss Lacroix. I've heard so

about you.

Jim, your grandson's a good man.

I got your message.

Still gotta check it out, though.

Make sure you ain't trying to scare him, you know what I'm saying?

We gotta get the three -five -seven from the deuces back to the table tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning at this hall on 7th. All right?

Put the guns down.

For now.

Too soon for all that, brother.

Peace.

Yeah, peace.

It's all right, Mr. Jones.

I want you and your friends to stay for supper. Of course. Of course. I'd love

to. I'd love to. You don't show wacky with a skillet. Oh, I know. I know. I've

seen that skillet, man. I like you to stay, too, Simon. I'd love to. That's

I need.

All right. I'm on my way.

Thanks.

I hate to bust up the party. We'll be back in a little while. But some

has come up. Let's get out of here.

All right. All right.

Let's go.

They found Larry.

Where?

That mini -com of yours busted back into my apartment.

And he trashed it again.

Now, Animal Control's got the place around.

So I'm going to give you half an hour to back him. If he doesn't come out with

his hands up, well, then I call him to watch the night.

Did they say what he was doing?

Watching TV.

You're kidding me.

What program?
