Damn!
Had I known what I know now.

But today, cats are different

'cause we all know that
selling and competition,

that's what
this country's built on.

It's all about one thing.
Making money.

Money, baby. Simple as that.

Everything else
is just bullshit.

Money's why people come here
from every country in the world.

It's what the American
dream is all about.

You think people come here
from all over the world

to live in East New York,

in Harlem, the South Bronx
because of the beautiful views?

Because of the fucking
quality of life?

My name is Victor Rosa.

I'm young, Latin,
and good-looking.

And I call it like I see it, baby,
'cause one thing about me...

I'mma tell you what I think,
whether you want to hear it or not.

"Cause you're not gonna get
bullshit from me. Oh, nah-uh.

I'm a businessman,
an entrepreneur.

Like Rockefeller
and Carnegie.

And in my time, a geek
motherfucker like Bill Gates.

That's right,
they all did it themselves.

Fought the odds
and made a fortune.

So why can't I? Like them,
I got a product.

I sell it aggressively,
and I make money.

A lot of it.

Doesn't take advertising
to sell my product,

'cause it pretty much
sells itself.

It takes brains to make money
and survive in this business.

That may have been the same
for Rockefeller as it is for Gates.

But in what I do,
you fuck up,

and you don't just lose
one of your stock options.

So we run out of
my boy Jimmy's crib.

Me and Jimmy,
we got into this together

when we were just kids
out there.

And we worked
our way from lookouts.

It's my crew, but I honestly
couldn't do without Jimmy.

And Chedda.
Chedda's a monster, yo.

Not because of his size, but
because he's all heart, baby.

Blackest motherfucker I know.

Jay... Well,
Jay is a special case.

He's what you call simple,
an idiot savant.

Sometimes more idiot
than savant.

What we make here
is my product,

a heroin mix I call "Empire."

Okay, it works like this.

There are three other dealers
who work this area beside me.

You got Hector's "Exorcist.”

You got Tito,
who sells his "Severe.”

And then there's Negro. Now,
that motherfucker's a legend.

Damn good businessman
for a faggot.

Not that I got anything
against faggots.

But I gotta give it up
to him.

"Dancing Queen” is a
dope-ass name for his shit, too.

We all get our supply
from the same connect,

La Colombiana,
Joanna Menendez.

We all sell the same product,

just mix it differently,
put on our own labels on it.

I cut mine the least
'cause I believe in purity.

Tito, though, cuts his shit
as deep as he can

and gets more packets
per ounce that way.

But I get loyal buyers.

People know "Empire”
and they look for it,

but dumb-ass Tito can't even
begin to understand how that works.

That's why
he's always in some shit.

It's a funny thing, and it
might seem hazardous to you,

but we all hang out
in the same places.

No need to step
on each other's toes, right?

For those of you who've
never been in my neighborhood,

we're split up
into four separate areas.

The meat of it belongs to me.

"Exorcist” got
some decent spot.

And Negro's is below that,
around Bruckner Boulevard.

"Severe's” got spots
next to mine.

As you can see,
sometimes they tend

to slip and overlap
into my spot.

And when that happens,
you got trouble.

Oh... You're trying to fuck up my
shot, right? You're trying to fuck me up?

Vic! Vic!

Yo, what's up?
Beef right now, nigga.

Are you waiting
on that shit?

Man, fuck this
motherfucking game, man!

Yo, word is, man,
they got David

laying in the middle of the
street like a little bitch, son.

Tito's boys... They
beat the shit out of him, kid.

Yo, let's do this.

Do you remember when
I said Tito was always in some shit?

Well, he was trying to move in
on one of my spots again.

I mean,
we're talking maybe 20 feel,

but that 20 feet was worth
$30,000 a week, easy.

What's up?

I got it
from my brother, G.

"You got to go straight to the
leader and take him down hard.”

You do that and it's over.

Motherfucker!

Yeah, nigger, yeah!

You want to fuck me?
Fuck your damn self, fucker!

You getting
your ass kicked, nigger! Yeah!

You got fucked up, kid!

This spot's my nut,
all right?

Take my nut?

I'll fucking take your nuts,

motherfucker, hear me?

Oh, shit!

Huh? I can't
hear you, motherfucker.

What the fuck you doing?

Lucky I don't blow
your motherfucking head off.

- Motherfucker!
- Come on!

I'll kill you, motherfucker!

We got him, man. Come
on. Let him know defeat.

I love you.

You tell Tito
to call me, all right?

There's a strange
fairness at work here.

Everybody pushes
the boundaries every day.

I mean, you push and you see, then
push more and see how they react.

Yeah, it seems stupid. But
remember, every foot is a dollar.

And dollars is the only thing
that matters out here.

Yo, Jason.

Yo, Jason.

What?

What you mean, "What?", man?
Get over here, man.

Damn.

What's wrong with you, man?

Why are you staring at me?

Did I do something?

Why you got to do something
for me to stare at you, man?

You know I love you, man.

I know.

Well? You love your daddy?

You know I do.

You got to tell
your daddy sometimes, man.

Why we got to go do this?

We gotta go through it

'cause sometimes your daddy
wants to know you love him too.

I am always loving you,
playing with you.

Ain't all about you
all the time, man.

I love you, Dad.

See, that ain't hurt, right?

Yeah.

You're snotty, man.
You always...

Get out of here.
Go play your game, man.

Jose is here.
He's all fucked up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Yo, Jason, go to your room.

What the fuck happened?

Who the fuck
did this to you?

I think "Empire's"
trying to make a move.

You're saying
Vic did this to you?

I'll find out
about this shit.

Wait a minute, Tito.

He's not exactly moving in.

What the fuck
does "not exactly" mean?

Look, we was chilling, right?

And I saw David.

I don't like
that motherfucker,

so I slapped him around
a bit, right.

He ran away like a bitch.

Next thing I know,

Vic is moving in on us, man.

Get me a drink.

What the fuck, man?
What's the problem?

I'm fuckin' tired of you,
you piece of shit.

You gonna kill me, man?
Come on...

Shut the fuck up, man!
You better fuckin' tell Vic

I ain't have shit to do
with this. You hear me?

I'm fuckin' tired
of your shit, man.

Go home,
wash your fucking ass,

tell goodbye
to your mother

and your fucking kids.

Then come back here.

Then I'm gonna kill you,
you fucking piece of shit!

You hear me? We straight?
Yeah.

Is we straight?
Yeah!

Get the fuck
out of here.

I'm gonna go play PlayStation
with my son right now.

Nobody better
fucking interrupt me.

You hear me?

For everybody, everybody,
money is what life is all about.

Getting it, keeping it,
losing it, holding it,

needing it, living it,
and dying for it.

You have to look like you
got it, whether you do or not.

That's how you get respect.

You gotta put your money
on display the right way.

My brother, G, knew just how
to do it, and he taught me well.

I need him now.

I mean, not for nothing,
but just to look at him.

With his "G" chain,

the old alpaca sweater,

Grandmaster Flash
and the Furious Five.

And, of course, my first
pair of British Walkers.

Yep, he was the man.
And those were the days.

I miss him.

I ain't getting
in your mess, man.

Vic! Vic!
Yo, what's up, Vic?

Yo, what's up,
little midget? Yo.

How you doing?
Where's your moms, man?

Now, who's the little
player hater, huh?

Jason, from Prospect.

Yo, if I ask you something,
promise not to tell my mom?

Nah, man, I don't make no
promises. Just tell me what it is.

Come on. Cough it up.

My mom don't like me asking
anyone for anything.

Right. Right. But the
new PlayStation's out.

Cut to the chase, man.
How much is it?

It's like about $400. $4007?

No, it ain't.
It's like $395.

$395? What happened to water
pistols and fuckin' yo-yos, man?

Wait, wait... I've been saving
up mad money, you know?

My mom be taking it all.

Now I ain't got none, jack.

Your mother
taking your money?

No jack. Listen to
me. Listen to me.

Tomorrow you go to Boltron's,
and you ask for Weebs

and I'mma hook you up with a
PlayStation and three games, all right?

Thanks, Vic.
Come on.

Yo, yo. Hold up!
Hold up!

Come here.
Get over here.

What?
What you want?

Yo, I ain't
Santa Claus, man.

From now on,
you're gonna clean my car

for two months. All right?

Twice a week.
And I want you to make sure

that car's clean inside out,
or I'm gonna go off on you.

Damn.
What?

Done.

All right.
Can we go now?

Now get the hell out of here.

There's no tongue
allowed in here. All right?

Yo, yo, Vic,
what's up, man?

What's up?
You need me?

He'll let you know.

He just needs a minute
with your girl.

Me? What's up?

What did I do?

Your son's gonna come home
with a PlayStation tomorrow, all right?

I gave it to him.

I wanna make...
But I didn't...

If you don't shut the fuck up,
I swear to God, Cheena.

Just shut the fuck up!

Listen to me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He's bringing
a PlayStation tomorrow night.

Can you understand that?

I understand.
You got it for him. Thank you.

You don't understand,

'cause I'm gonna check up
on that PlayStation.

If I don't see it,
I swear to God...

I'mma assume you sold it.
You got me?

No, don't answer.
It doesn't need an answer.

And by the way, that money
your son saved up...

I want it. Friday.

Okay. Okay.

With the kind of money we
make out here, you can't go to a bank.

You make huge cash deposits
three times a week,

and you don't think they're
gonna get suspicious?

I got me a $40,000 truck

I park in one of the poorest
neighborhoods in the country.

But no one touches it. Why?
Because they know who I am.

Respect, remember?

There's
only so much you can do

with the money
without being stupid.

Jimmy likes to spend it all on
his crazy safari jungle furniture.

I dunno, man.
He loves that shit.

Chedda has the world's
biggest stereo system

in the world’s
puniest apartment.

Sometimes you just can't help
doing something special, though.

Was that $17,0007

Hey.

Hey.

Got you something.
Oh, yeah?

I was always alone.

Always had to prove myself.

Always had to be
better than everybody.

Yeah, but that's the way
you have to be down here.

That is, till I met Carmen.

She's been my girl
for a long time now.

Yeah, I don't mean to brag,

but she's the only girl
who was ever as smart as me.

She's going to college
for her BA.

We've been living together
now, for what, for about a year?

Which makes her moms crazy.

I know, who wants their daughter
to be a drug dealer's honey, right?

But Carmen's mom
hated me from the get-go.

Carmen knows what I do.
I mean, she don't like it

but she don't have any illusions
about a guy like me, either.

It's times like this
that make it all worthwhile.

Everything that happens,
all the shit.

It just disappears.

You're beautiful.

Wish I could've
told Carmen

that I could never
really stop or slow down

'cause I could never
stop or slow down.

Had to keep operating.
My life depended on it.

I was used to dealing.
It made me feel alive.

I had to show them.
I had to show everybody.

Did you get all that?

I couldn't understand what the
hell he was talking about by the end.

I think so.

Did you read
the chapters last night?

I tried.

It was just so damn boring.

Look, I want to show
you something. Mmm!

Look what Vic got me.
Isn't it beautiful?

Is it your birthday?

He just got it for me
out of the blue.

Oh, my God.

Carmen, these
diamonds, they're huge!

I don't even wanna tell
you where he bought it.

I mean, this must've cost
at least $15,000, $20,000.

Nah. No way. You
think so? Yes, yes!

What does this
boyfriend of yours do?

He's, um...

He's in business, you know?

Business?

Mmm-hmm?
Hmm.

What kind
of business is he in

that he can buy a $20,000
necklace for no reason?

Don't answer that.
Listen, I gotta get going.

But my boyfriend, he's having
a party tonight.

Why don't you and Vic
come by?

Yeah... You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I mean,
it's all his friends

and I'd love to have
someone to talk to.

It's a cocktail party,
kind of dressy.

Your necklace
will look fabulous.

I'll be there.

Make sure you bring
that boyfriend of yours.

I want to see who's taking
such good care of you.

Hey, you're not
gonna have lunch?

No, and I can't find
a match either.

Bye.

Under
the Giuliani dictatorship,

there's more than your usual
number of neighborhood sweeps.

That's right.
They target a few blocks,

try to shut things down,
and move on to the next.

You just gotta always
try to find a way to survive.

Undercover units
are always on the spot.

But they ain't fooling nobody.

There's always a constant
flow of money out here.

You can't let something like
this stop you or get at you.

So, if they're
gonna watch you,

then you got to
watch them back.

Oh, my God.

Where are you going
so beautiful?

To a party.

Mami, here's the plate back.

Thank you. Titi.

Tambache, you come
straight from the office?

Yeah, I got a promotion.

I'm not a street pharmacist
anymore. I'm a doctor.

Don't start, Mami. Come
on, we have to go. Kiss.

Have fun, honey.

Okay.
I'll call you later.

Bye.

National Geographic
should do a special on us.

Fuck Bosnia.
I mean, this city, man.

'Cause we got invisible but
well-known boundaries here.

Different ways of life,
different rules, but no mixing.

Drive just a couple of miles
over the bridge

and abracadabra. Bodegas
turn into fine boutiques.

Tenement buildings
turn into brownstones.

We gotta have
someplace to go.

Boring-ass
white people can't dance.

Will you stop?

Sometimes you catch
a white guy in my neighborhood,

but that's only when
they're buying from me.

But when I come down to
their little ritzy neighborhoods,

they get uncomfortable.

Is this it?

Yep, 9707.

Come on, baby.

Come over here.

Let's not go. Come on.

Come on, baby.

Let's go to the Copa.
Jimmy's there.

No, I don't want to...

This will be boring.

Yeah, well, Trish is my friend,
too. And I want you to meet her.

Please. Come on,
you have to take a hit.

That way you
change your mind. No.

What?
Baby.

If it's awful,
we'll leave.

Promise?
I promise.

Five minutes?

Five minutes is not enough.

Exactly. That's my point.

Come on.
All right.

Can I help you?

Yeah. We're looking
for a Jack Wimmer.

That would be the penthouse.

All right. Here,
you can finish it, man.

So, do you guys know
this new artist, Brian Ferrill?

I bought these
two paintings for Jack.

This place is disgusting.
Look at it.

You've got company.

Get me a beer
and get her a Cosmo...

Cosmopolitan?
Yes.

No, I'm gonna have
a diet soda, please.

He's cute.
What's his name?

He's not for you, Cleo.

Always got to have
your way, don't you?

That's right.

Hey!

So glad you made it.

That's quite
a view, huh?

Unbelievable, man.

No, that one.

Oh, yeah, that one, too.

That's nothing, man.
I got that shit at home.

Yeah? Where are you from?

From uptown.

Oh, yeah? Where about?

South Bronx.

Really? That's cool.
Mmm-hmm.

By the way,
I'm Jack, Jack Wimmer.

"Oh..." What?

So, you're
the lucky motherfucker.

Oh...

This your place, huh?

Yeah, it's embarrassing.

I'm not used to it.

So, what do you do?

I'm an investment banker.

That's what this is. This is
like a business party for me.

I represent, like,
half those people down there.

I wanna represent
the other half,

so I let them
kinda impress each other.

Right.
Do the work for you.

What do you do?

Obviously, whatever it is that
I do, I'm not doing enough of.

That's for damn sure.
You know? Yeah.

Basically,
I'm just self-employed.

That's cool.

I bet that
whatever it is that you do

is not half as bad as what some
of those people down there do.

That's an
interesting point of view.

Anyone who'd judge you
for what you do is a hypocrite,

because any
real businessman,

anyone who
makes any real money,

is gonna be cutthroat.

Any media company,
oil company, tobacco company.

I mean, those are some of the
most vicious people in the world.

And, you know, they got
stockholders, like, all over the world

who are basically
accessories in crime.

Still, at the end
of the day, man,

you go to sleep
feeling legit, right?

For me, man, I go
to sleep every night, like,

one eye like that, you
know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah.

But you could be a part
of this, too. You know?

It's the age of peace
and prosperity.

Yeah.

Why don't you put me down
for some of that?

Seriously. How do I
get in touch with you?

Talk to your girl.
Through Trish?

Trish knows my girl, Carmen.

Oh, your girlfriend's Carmen?
Yeah.

I've heard a lot about her.
That's cool.

So basically,
we both have girlfriends.

Well, you know.

You can look at the menu.

That's what I would say.
That's right, we're human. Right?

So, did you have fun?

Well, yeah. Yeah.

That's only because I thought
it was gonna suck. That's why.

That Jack's a herb man.

You think?

Totally. Here, have some.

You're not drinking at
all tonight. What's up?

I can't.

What do you mean,
you can't?

I mean, I can't.

Not while I'm pregnant.

Come on, you're kidding.
You're just saying that.

No, come on. You serious?

Get out...
When? I mean...

No. Are you serious?

Why didn't you tell me?

When did this happen?
When did you know?

Does it matter?

Oh, my God!

I can't believe
you're pregnant.

Holy shit!

I can't believe that.

Come over here.
Give me a kiss.

Hang on,
let me get you.

Careful. Come on.

You're gaining
weight already.

It's just an embryo.

I'm having a baby.

No,
we're having a baby.

That's what I said.

I can't believe it. I'll
go park the car. Okay.

Hey, yo.

G!

It's okay.

Hey. How you doing?

I missed you.

My arm.

I know, baby. I know.

How's the baby?

The baby?

Yeah.

The baby's fine.

How you doing?

My arm.

I know, baby. I know.

They didn't get me.
Mmm-mmm.

All right.

Where's...

I got it right here, honey.

Let's see.

It's right here, baby.

Right here.

I got it right here.

Yo, man. They got
my beating-off arm.

My dick don't like my left
hand, you know what I'm sayin'?

Yo, you lucky, man. That
shit just missed your heart.

What fucking side
you think his heart is on?

Who gives a fuck what the
fuck side his fucking heart is on?

We got important
shit to discuss.

Yo, Jimmy, you know
who the shooter was, Pa?

It was that piece of shit that we
almost nailed the other day on the corner.

Remember him? Yeah.
Jose.

I don't like none of them
motherfuckers anyway, son.

That's what I'm saying.
That's Tito's boy, man.

If anyone's gonna pay, it's gonna be
Tito. We'll hit that motherfucker tonight.

Nah, Jimmy. We can't do that,
man. Come on, use your head.

We just got beef with them.
If the cops see us,

they're gonna
fucking come for us, man.

I don't give a fuck
who fucking knows.

It's been two fucking days. If we
don't hit that motherfucker tonight,

the niggers are gonna
start pushing in on our spots.

You don't think I know
it's been two days, man?

I want to get
the fuck out of here.

Just hold up
and wait for me, all right?

Look at this shit, man.

Yeah, baby.

Motherfucker, man!

What's going on, man? You
want to talk to me now, man?

You got something to say?
Who's running this crew?

Yo, Chedda, make sure he
don't do anything stupid, all right?

Whatever you say, Papa.

Whatever you say.

You're right, Vic.
I'm gonna wait.

Call me later,
all right?

Fucking cops
know who shot me.

Nothing like this stays quiet
in the neighborhood.

They're just gonna wait
and see if I go after Tito.

They get Tito out of the way,
then they take me down.

Two birds and all that.

They're perfectly happy
to stand on the sidelines

and just let us
lake each other out.

I mean,
Carmen must be freaking out.

Yeah,
that's totally fucked up.

But it's just a bullet in the
shoulder. I think he's gonna be fine.

Jack, I really think
you need to think about this.

I mean, you've never worked
with someone like Vic before.

Do you have any idea how much
he's worth liquid? Just cash.

No.

$4-5 million.

Really?
Really.

Shit.

He's a businessman, Trish.
If he were born in the suburbs,

he'd be running
a Fortune 500 company.

He was born in the Bronx,
he does what he does.

I like him. He's as legit as
anyone else I've ever worked with.

I like him, too.

I mean,
he's cute, intelligent...

You think he's cute?

Yeah. You jealous?

No, I'm not jealous. He's
got a bullet in his shoulder.

You are SO mean.

Cleo. How you doing?

What's going on?

How are you? You
guys gonna take off?

Yeah. Bye.
Have fun.

Don't spend
too much of my money.

I'll spend every dime.

Here.
What's this?

Trish's boyfriend, Jack,

took a liking to you and he
wants to do business with you.

When did he call?
This morning?

Last week,
but that's not the point.

Why? You don't think
I can handle it?

No, that's not
what I'm saying.

I wouldn't be where I am today

if I didn't know
what I was doing.

I think you can handle
anything. I've always said that.

But it's
a different animal, papi.

All right.

I mean, we're talking about
a Wall Street guy.

If you're gonna do this,
go in knowing

that he's not
smarter than you.

You hear me?

Rafael Menendez,

younger brother of Joanna
Menendez, La Colombiana.

I've seen her maybe
three or four times

in the 10 years
I've been working for her.

She don't like people
to know who she is,

So she sends Rafael
to do all her business.

He's someone you definitely
don't want to fuck with.

So basically, bottom line,
what I'm asking you

is for approval, okay?

"Cause Tito's going to
go to war, man.

And if I don't respond hard,
man, if I don't jump in there,

the shit's gonna be mad out of
control. You know what I'm saying, right?

Tito's a stupid motherfucker.

I know that.

He's been a pain
in our asses for a long time.

Just make sure
this is over with quick.

Yeah, man. No doubt. I'm about
winning, man. I'm not about fighting.

Of course, I'm sure this has nothing to
do with you wanting a piece of his action.

But we're gonna give you
Tito's spots down to Prospect.

Hector and Negro will
split up what's left over.

All right.

Listen.

She told me she appreciates
you coming to us about this.

I only do business
with you people, man.

She's always appreciated
a good businessman.

Yeah, same.

Yo...

I got a little token of appreciation
for your sister, all right?

No doubt.

"She really appreciates
everything, you know?"

Why you so impressed by that
dude for, man? He's nobody.

'Cause if it wasn't for
those motherfuckers,

we wouldn't be where
we're at right now. That's why.

Stop sweating it, man.
You want his balls.

No, you know what it is?
You sweat the small stuff.

You don't see the big picture,
Papa. That's your problem.

You know what my brother used
to say? "Keep your homies close,

"and you keep
your beef even closer."

That's The Godfather.

From The Godfather?
That's not from The Godfather.

That's my brother's fuckin'
words. He made that shit up.

I'm just telling you,
that was from The Godfather.

It's Crackhead Pete.

Let that nigger in, man.
You know that nigger's cool.

Jose!

That's how you do it.

What the fuck! What the
fuck took you so fucking long, man?

Where were you, motherfucker?

That's right.

Where's your
late pass at, loco?

Yo, you my boys. I know
you can handle all that shit.

They're gonna bury that fat
motherfucker in the motherfucking ocean.

BMF.com.

No more jets to the Caymans.

I'm talking
instant transfer of cash.

Hoc's right.

It's a sleeping giant.
Every single bank...

I don't know
what it was like to lose a son.

There are
no more sleeping giants.

But after
what Jimmy did

to Tito's kid,
I knew I was out.

Maybe investing with Jack
was gonna be the answer.

Yo, Jack. JACK: So
you're saying I'm wrong, Sasha?

Do you know him?

Hey! How's it going?
What's up, Jack?

What's up, man?
It's good to see you.

Good to see you, man.

I'll catch you guys
on the way out.

- Bye.
- I'll see you later.

That's some
sweet little bootie.

Can I get you a drink?

I'm good, man.

Here, you want a cigar?

Hell, yeah, man.

So, you ready to do some
business? Mmm-hmm.

I was born ready, baby.

So, this is a prospectus.

It's gonna look
like hieroglyphics to you.

I'll explain it later.

What's this
"perspecticus" for?

Um, it's for a start-up company.
A sleeping giant, we call it.

You know that there aren't
any more sleeping giants left.

Most of them are extinct.

What do you mean?

What?

No, man.
I was trying to play you, man.

I overheard you over there.
I came early.

Oh. No, no.
They didn't believe me anyway.

I mean, there are some
good ones out there.

What type of deals?

Biotechnology.

Like human genome.

It's legit? It's like
happening now already?

What do you mean, is it legit?
Of course it's legit.

Is it legit?

For real?
For real.

So, the question you got to ask yourself
is how much are you willing to invest?

All right. So how much

do I need to invest in this,
the cloning stuff?

If you just want to get your feet wet,
we're talking about a minimum of $1 million.

It's a six to eight
month investment period.

We're looking to make back
several times our initial investment

within the year. There's no
such thing as a sure thing,

but this is
as close as it gets.

Jack and I did
our homework on each other.

He's got what he's got,
and I want what he's got.

I keep my money
in nine places.

An apartment that belongs to some
old woman that can't afford to live there,

bodegas,
a blind man's place,

a principal's office,
all over.

I pay their rent, give
them some grocery cash.

In return,
they keep a safe for me.

Yo,
wake up. Vic's here.

You want a brew, man?

Kick it
over here, man.

So, what's up?

I got this
investment opportunity.

I can make enough money
to get out of this shit now.

And if you're interested, man,

I can bring you in and maybe
make enough to get the hell out.

What do you think?

Get out of what, man? I'm
happy doing what I'm doing, man.

Fuck, I thought
you was happy, too.

You think I want to go out
like my brother?

Besides,
I got a baby coming.

Congratulations, Papa.

But what about the crew, man?

You been running this shit with
me since the very beginning, anyhow.

All it is now is just...
I'm out of the way.

You know La Colombiana. She ain't
just gonna let you walk away like that.

No.

With the money you're making
right now, she could easily forget me.

I could just
fade away easy, like that.

All I need from you is just to help
me with a head start. That's all.

Come here.
You got it.

Thanks a lot.

Freeze! Police! Hands up!

Get them up!

Keep them up!
On the floor, man! Get down!

Don't fuck
around this time!

Shut the fuck up, Vic!

Don't worry about it.
We'll take good care of you.

You are fucking done!

You're sorry.

So am I. Let's go.

Can I just
get my jacket, please?

No, smart ass. You can't.

Is my cell phone
out of the question, then?

You ever get picked
up for anything,

there's one thing
you never forget.

Keep your mouth shut.

Don't say a fucking word.
You think cops are stupid?

You think you can talk
your way out? You're wrong.

Almost every conviction they
get is some dumb motherfucker

tripping himself up.
Keep your mouth shut.

Close off your mind.
Try to relax. Don't listen.

Everything they say is a lie.

They'll be telling you
that they got witnesses.

That your boys
turned on you. All lies.

If they had that, they wouldn't
be bothering with all this shit.

Man, I called everybody.

I had no one else
to turn to but Jack.

He sent this lawyer,

an old white cat named
Bobby Gold, to get me.

And like that, I'm out.

Let's get the hell
out of here. Let's go.

Get him out of there.

Hey.

It's cold as shit, man.

Thank you so much
for coming down.

Everything is under control.

It's all going
to be all right?

Yes.

You shouldn't
have any more trouble.

This is a bullshit case.
They know it.

Now, anybody asks you
anything about this,

any cops come near you,

you call me immediately.

I gotta run.
Okay.

Thanks so much.

You know, I took a big chance
working with you in the first place, right?

I know.
Okay. This can't happen.

I took a chance
on you, too, you know.

I know.

If it happens again,
the deal's off, all right?

All right. Yeah.
All right?

The girls are waiting for us.
You want to go out?

All right. Whatever.
Come on.

This place is so amazing.
You guys are gonna love it.

And you know what?
A lot of boricuas come here.

A lot of what?
Boricuas.

- Boricuas, Vic.
- Chill out.

Leave her alone.
You know what she said.

Look, there's Mike. Do you remember
Mike? He went to our loft party.

Your chick's hardcore, man.

So, why can't you drink?

My baby's having a baby.

Really?
Hell, yeah.

I know where to put it.

That's really, really great.

Congratulations.
What did I miss?

They're having a baby.

What?

Isn't that great?

Oh, my God, you're having
a baby? Isn't that beautiful?

Jack, they're having a baby.

I heard it
the first time.

Jack knew before me?

What is that drink?

It's a Bacardi and water.
Taste it. That's so beautiful.

That's so beautiful.

Thank you.

Can you feel it yet?

So, it's gonna be pretty
small with the baby in there.

Um...

You've got to get
a bigger place, eventually.

Yeah, we're trying.

What about the loft?
What about the loft?

Nobody's
using it and it's huge.

It's true, you know. We
have this loft down in Soho

that I got as an investment
a couple years ago.

You got a place in Soho?

Yeah, it's beautiful.
No one lives there.

No one lives there.
It's empty.

If you wanted to live there,
you could live there free.

You should totally
live there. We could decorate.

Hear them out, baby.
People have.

You could totally live there.
People have totally lived there.

This here is Lifestyles
of the Rich and Famous.

This is it, baby.

Why bother making money
if you ain't living like this?

You should all live
like this just once.

This don't make no
fucking sense to me, man.

You got some pussy you
chasing there on the south side?

Man, Chedda, I'm
trying to concentrate here.

You ain't got no concentration.
That's the problem.

Ain't nobody fuckin' talking to
you. I'm over here with this, a'ight?

You'll be back. Everything
you are is in this neighborhood.

What the fuck is wrong with
you motherfuckers, man?

That's right.

You motherfuckers
should be happy, man.

This nigger is doing something
with his life and shit.

Watch your mouth, man. We came
up knee-high with this here, man.

This is family.
You see this here, man?

All this right here
is family, you understand?

We still family, man.

I love you motherfuckers.

He'll be back.

I'm not coming back, man.
This is it, though.

I gotta move on, man.
Made my decision.

Jimmy's gonna
take over the spots.

You're lucky
to have a leader like this.

Motherfucker.
You ain't never coming back?

Nah, dog, I'm coming back.

I'm coming back because I
got to smoke with my hoes.

Motherfucker's got to
smoke with his hoes.

It's only 20 minutes away.

I'll come and see you
every weekend, I promise.

But not every weekend.

I have my life,
you know that?

Ma!

Just kidding.

What you gonna get
here? - I don't know.

This thing with Jack.
I mean, I know I'm letting go

of the bird in the hand
for the one that's flying.

And I hope I'm right.

Come on!
Looks like doo-doo.

No, no, no.
This is the one.

Think it should be
more this way?

This is the way
we should be living.

My woman deserves it,
my kid deserves it,

and I deserve it.
Fuck everything else.

Looks like I'm going to court. I
look like a defendant and shit.

Looks good.

Jack.
What can I say?

We're just getting
to know each other better.

I think he's a white me
in a lot of ways.

You know, they say that good-looking
people look good even in garbage bags.

Yeah, but I'll take Armani,
just like Jack.

Let's get the suit
and the sweater.

Oh, no, no, no. It's mine.

Let me take care of my shit.
Listen to me.

It's not even my money.

It's a corporate card.
Seriously, it's fine.

How are you?

It's good to see you.

Look at you.

So, how are you?

I'm good.

I miss
the old neighborhood, though.

You know, my moms.

Vic really likes it.
He seems relaxed.

How's the pregnancy going?

Oh, good.

Look at you!

A little bout of morning
sickness every now and then,

but other than that,
it's all good.

I mean, is Vic taking
care of you and all that?

Yeah. You know,
regular stuff.

He doesn't let me do anything.
I can't even cook anymore.

That's great.
I hate to cook.

Yeah, well, I can't even get
him to eat Spanish food anymore.

How about that?

Yo, Vic!

It's fucking Vic!
What's the deal, yo?

Better have
your ghetto pass!

You see? That's a pretty
motherfucker, right there.

Loud-ass
Puerto Ricans!

What's the deal, yo?

What's up? Huh?
You looking good.

All sharp and spiffy.

How are you?
I'm good. I'm good.

Mama, you all right?

It's been
like a fuckin' year.

What up?
High-class jibaro.

Hey. What's up, Jimmy?

How's your dick hanging, baby?

Yo, listen! Yo!

How you doing?
Where you been?

Working, man,
doing my shit.

You know. This and that.
Yadda Yadda, you know.

It's her mom's birthday. We're gonna go
see her mom. You know how her mom is.

Come on, we got to go.

It's all right.

Come on, we ain't
seen you in forever.

Give me a holler, man.
You got my number.

Yo, we got to go.
Yo, Vic.

Where we gotta go? We ain't
got nothing to do. What's up?

Holler me, man.

I'mma holler.

I got to take her.

Yo, Vic, that's a nice
suit you got there, man.

Thanks, dog.

It's cool. Let's get
the fuck out of here.

All right, Vic.

All right, dog.

Honey, carve this for me.

Titi, look at the chain
that Vic bought me.

They're diamonds.

Crazy, right?

Check this.
Check this right here.

Jesus Christ, that's huge.

Hey, hey, hey.
Watch your tongue.

Pero, that's thicker
than Vic's chain.

Baby, show them
your "G" chain.

Come on, papi.

Oye, papo. Come on, bro,
show me. What's up?

I'm not wearing it.

What do you mean,
you're not wearing it?

I mean, I'm not wearing it.
I don't got it on.

But you always...
Well, I don't got it on. Okay?

I don't got it on. I don't got it
on. What do you want me to say?

You know, if I never come
back to this neighborhood,

I'mma fucking die happy.

Whatever that means.

I just got nothing to say to anybody
around here anymore, you know?

What the hell
is wrong with you?

You turn your back on the only
people who give a fuck about you.

You think Jack
gives a shit about you?

You think because we hang out
with Jack and Trish

every now and then,
they're our friends?

We ain't got
no friends, Victor.

All we have is some bougie
loft apartment you call home.

Yeah, well, wherever I'm at,
that's your home.

No. It will never
be home to me.

So that's the way it is, huh?

You know what? Why
don't you go the fuck back?

You know, maybe I should.

You know...

You know
everything I do for you?

I turn myself inside out.

I fucking bend myself over
backwards for you. Well, fuck that.

Just go back
to your fucking moms.

Oh, what?
What's that look now?

That look is I don't know
who the fuck you are.

You know who
the fuck I am?

I'm the person who'll tell you
to get the fuck out of my car.

Get out!

Don't give me that fuckin'
look. Get the fuck out of my car!

Open the fucking door!

There, how's that, huh?
You dumb bitch.

Don't fucking break my door!

Jack. Jack, what's
up, dog? How you doing, man?

I'm all right.

Oh, man, me and Carmen
just had a big-ass fight, man.

I told her to go home and just
go to her fucking mom's forever.

I don't care, man.
Fuck that, you know?

Sometimes you got to
talk to them like that.

You know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah.

Yeah, well, you know, I don't want to go
home, man. You got anything going on?

Oh, that's cool.
That's cool. I'll come by.

Jack?

I wanted to wait till the girls
were around to give this to you,

but I kinda got to
give it to you now.

Check it out.

Oh.

This is sweet, man.

Okay. I'll call you back.

Two million dollars!

I do you wrong?

Hell, no, man.

Dude, I can't even talk.

You're speechless.

It's not always
gonna be like this.

The market's really,
really hot right now.

So let's put it back in, man.

Well, you know,
we'll think about it.

All right.

So what's been bothering you?
What's going on?

Women, man.

You know, they ask you to
change, and when you change,

you become someone
else, they hate you,

'cause they wanted
the guy that they first met.

But you can't
be that anymore,

'cause they've
asked you to change.

Okay. I know where to take
you. Come on. It'll be all right.

Cheers.

So what's our next move, man?

Well, what I think is,

I want to sit you down with my
partners, I want to introduce you to them.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

And I think the next thing we
need to do after that is evaluate...

Evaluate your risk
tolerance, really diversify.

I got a serious
appetite for risk.

Yeah, I know you do.

But we need to have some safe
things for you also. Just for the future.

Okay.

We should schedule that meeting
for a couple weeks from now.

Right now, I'm working on this
other thing that's taking a lot of time.

Yeah? What is it?

If you can talk about it.

Sure.

What we had you in before
is like a $60 million fund.

This is a $600 million fund.

Can we get him
another girl?

- Wow, $600 million? It's so
much money, man. - Yeah.

It's similar to the deal
I was doing with you,

but it's a $4.5 million
minimum. I'm in for six.

This thing is unbelievable.

Wait a minute.

You're putting $6 million
of your own cash into this?

That's how much you
believe... I really believe in it.

This has a really solid
management team.

Twenty years' experience,
never fucked up.

Some really
smart money in it,

and a really sound idea.

Everyone's scrambling to
get in but the deal's closed.

There's no way you can
massage me into that, man?

Are you seriously interested?

What?

To show you how heavy
my commitment is,

I'll give it back to you.
Just put it right in.

No. You listen to me.
That way I can get in on it.

Listen to me.
Keep this.

This is clean money. We
didn't do this for nothing, okay?

You keep a hold of that.
If you are interested,

get some more money together,
then you call me.

All right?
How much time do you have?

I'd say about a week
or something.

A week. Oh, man.

It's a lot of pressure. I
really want you to think about it.

It scares me the way you just
jump into things like this. Okay?

All right.

It's my turn.

Once you start working
for Joanna Menendez, you're hers.

There's no such thing
as quitting.

No matter what you do,
she's gonna take a cut for life.

So there ain't a hell of
a whole lot I could do.

I could pack up
and I could run.

I could pay her 40%
of what I bring in.

I could tell her
to go fuck off,

but I wouldn't
make it back to the car.

Or I could talk to her
like a businessman.

Let me tell you what I did.

I thought what Donald Trump
and Ted Turner would have done.

They would have made a deal.

Talk the language
all businessmen understand.

Money.

Oh, my God. Look at you.

You look
so amazing for your age.

I'm telling you, if I was
only 10 years older...

Are you learning
how to flirt?

Just now?

I met you
when you were so green.

But everything
comes with a price.

Even that
gorgeous smile of yours.

What do you want?

We've been working together
how long now, 10 years?

Something like that?

I made you like, what? $5-6 million
a year? Maybe a little bit more?

In all that time I never fucked
you. I never held out on you.

I was always
the best you had.

But like every business
diversifies, I need to diversify.

"Cause there's only so far I
can go in this lifestyle, you know.

Lifestyle! Huh?
What's so bad about it?

What do you need, Vic, huh?

I don't see you walking around
with a MetroCard in your pocket.

Stop it. Stop it.

Talk to me, Victor.

Yeah, well, I got Jimmy
working my crew right now.

And he's making as much money
as I was making before,

so you're not gonna be
hurting with me gone.

Because I got a prospect for
you. I want to merge with you.

I want to make a partnership
where I can get you

three hundred percent return
on your investment.

How much
are you looking for?

$1.5 million.

That's a lot of money.

I know, but I can get you $4.5
in a six-month period.

That's the beauty of it.

Now, I'm talking about as
soon as I get your money back,

I want to be able to diversify some
more, you know what I'm sayin'?

But what kind
of a deal is it?

Offshore deposits.

Money laundering.

No, this guy's legitimate.

How solid is your contact?

This guy's unbelievable. I
met him through my girlfriend.

He's this white guy. The
hottest guy on Wall Street.

Everybody's investing
with this cat.

He's got
all the money he needs.

There's no such thing, baby.
We both know that.

Yeah, right. True. True.

But, you know, you're right.
You earned this one.

But I want 500% return.

$7.5 million.
That's my price.

I don't know
if I can do that.

All right, all right,
all right, you got it.

I just need the money
by the end of the week.

All right.

But you want
something from me,

I want something
from you. Jimmy.

He's in a war with Hector.
I can't have that.

Hector is a good guy.
He's not crazy like Tito,

cutting the shit
and all that.

This has to come to an end

before it turns violent
and they fuck up my business.

You talk to Jimmy.

All right.

Yeah.

You know,
it's just that...

Me and Jimmy... We just... I
haven't talked to him in a while.

But you're like brothers,
and he'll listen to you.

Okay, I'll talk to him.

Will you talk to him tonight?

Tonight.

Then you come back here
on Friday to get your money.

La Colombiana?

Yeah, come on.

What the fuck do you got to do
with La Colombiana?

La Colombiana asked me
just to intervene on her behalf

and just stop it before
it turns into something.

This is the same motherfucker

that came to me talking
about how

“I'm gonna have a kid,"

and "I want out of the game."

“I'm trying to do
what's right."

You come back now, you
telling me how to run my business.

I'm not telling you how to
run your business, man.

You are telling me
how to run it.

You fucking turn this into violence,
you're gonna get yourself fucked.

Who's gonna fuck me, huh?
That fucking bitch?

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go over there
tonight and settle this whole shit.

If you're gonna do that,
I'm going with you, man.

I'm gonna go with you and I'mma settle it.
I'm gonna Kill this... Give me your gun.

I'm gonna go with you and
I'm gonna take care of this.

Ain't no way
I'm giving you my gun.

Jimmy, come on.

I'm gonna go with you, I'mma
cure this. Just give me the gun, man.

Bro, that's like me
giving you my fucking shoes.

I ain't giving you my gun, V.

Give me your gun.
Give me your gun, man.

I got your back. You know I'll
never let shit happen to you.

What's up, Hector?
How you doing, dog?

Brought you some offerings.

Thanks, brother.

You lost some weight. You're
looking Diesel, and shit, you know?

Stress, you know.

Yeah, I hear that.

I heard about your abuelita.
She hurt her hip.

She's good, man.
How's your lady?

She's the love
of my life. She's so ill.

You know how she is,
overambitious. Hardly ever see her.

That's why it works,
you Know?

Chug.

Let's cut to the chase, Vic.

Because you know
what I'm about, right?

Word, man, I know.

Your boy here, you need to
keep him on a short leash, man.

That's kind of strong, man. That's Kina
strong words and whatnot. You know?

But I got to talk to Rafael, man, and
we just want to squash the beef, man.

Just optimize
the situation. You know?

I spoke to Rafael, too, man.

Jimmy's got a long tongue,
man. He talks too much shit

around the neighborhood,
like he's running shit.

Yo, come on. We were
like that once, man.

We were coming up, used to say a
lot of shit. Hot-headed and whatnot.

We all make mistakes.
Right, Jimmy?

You ain't
gonna do that no more.

So, what's up, Jimmy?
We cool or what?

You know what, Hec?

We cool, man.

Jimmy, no!

What were you thinking, huh?

You fucking promised me
you wouldn't do anything!

You said you wouldn't
fucking do a goddamn thing!

You're
fucking overreacting!

Calm the fuck down!
No!

Fuck you, motherfucker.
Fuck you.

You fucking reacted,
you stupid fucking idiot.

I gave you the crew to run, man, not to
fucking take them on a suicide mission.

Fuck you!

Fucking kill yourself, but don't
take Jay and Chedda with you.

You asshole!

You fucking trying to tell me
how to run my fucking business?

My fuckin' business?

It's beyond that, man. I gave
you your fucking business.

You were nothing before
I fucking came into this shit.

How the fuck do you know
what the fuck we doing?

You ain't been around
for fucking months.

Come skipping back
into the fucking neighborhood

and shit's supposed to be
the same. You know what?

The fucking shit is different. This
whole fucking thing is ours, man.

Jimmy, Jimmy...

You're not listening.
You're not listening, man.

La Colombiana doesn't fucking play,
man. She's gonna come after your ass.

La Colombiana... I'm not
giving her my fucking balls.

Chedda, Jay,
listen to me, man.

Listen to me, I'm telling
you. It's over for him.

They're going to fucking kill him,
you understand what's gonna happen?

Ain't nobody touching nothing over
here. Look. Let me tell you, Jimmy,

I'm not gonna give you
the little diaper-buddy,

knee-high little speech
over here. Y'all know this.

We all we got, understand?

We been doing this shit.
Them fuckers is dead.

There's nothing
gonna bring them back, a'ight?

They got toe tags. They
out of here. It's done.

Now, what needs to be
known right now,

are you on this side over here, or
are you with them motherfuckers?

It's not that simple.

It is that simple!
It is that fuckin' simple!

Remember when
you fixed my VCR?

You fixed it,
I fucked it up.

No matter how bad it got,
you fixed it. I fucked it up.

You fixed it,
I fucked it up.

Fix this.

You think
you fucked me, right?

You just like to prove
some shit,

that maybe you can't
be told what to do, right?

But you fucked
yourself worse, baby.

Yeah. You know what I think?

What do you think?

I think that's what
you're all about.

I think you don't give a fuck
about Jay, Chedda, me, nobody.

You know who you
always give a fuck about?

Who do I...
Victor fucking Rosa!

That's who
you fucking care about!

You don't give a fuck about us.
It's about fucking money with you.

You can go to the white
neighborhood all you fucking want.

But you'll always
be a fucking spic.

That's in your fucking
blood, motherfucker.

Can you guarantee that my
blood's gonna stay in my body, man?

Can you ever do that?

Jack.

Hey, man,
how's it going?

Hey, Jack, what's up, man? I'm so
glad you fucking called me back, man.

Yeah, of course.
What's going on?

You don't know
the half of it, dog. I don't know.

Oh, man,
this has got so fucked up.

What's so fucked up?
What's going on?

I don't know. I just...

Look, don't get me wrong, man,
but I just think...

I don't know,
maybe I'm a little...

Maybe this deal's
too much for me.

Maybe it's a little
over my head, you know?

That's ridiculous.

Everything's
going great, okay?

Things are
looking really good.

No, it's just...

You're gonna have
more than enough money.

They're really excited
about it out here.

They're all trashed
and asleep right now.

It's just that...

Fuck, I haven't seen Carmen in over
a week, man. I haven't talked to her.

She won't...

I'm in this fucking apartment all by
myself, man. I'm losing my fucking mind.

I'm flipping.
Listen to me.

Everything's gonna be fine
with Carmen, all right?

Things are
going crazy out here.

I'm working on your deal
as we speak.

When she finds out how much
fuckin' money you've got,

she will chill out.
Everything will be okay.

Yeah, yeah, no doubt it's
going to be fantastic, man.

It's going to be the shit, you
know? Are you still in Hell-A?

Yeah. I'm at this fucking crazy
place up in Malibu. It's unbelievable.

I'm out on the porch,
just soaking it up. You know?

You know it, man! We're
gonna have SO much money,

we're not gonna know
what the fuck to do, right?

Totally.

Yeah...

It's a bet, man. We'll fucking
tear this town up, right?

Man, we're going to party
our fucking brains out.

But call me for sure, man.

For sure.

All right. Later.

Hey, Trish, listen...

Honey, can I just
ask you a little thing?

Is it better really to sit here being
miserable than to be with him?

You know, honey,

the asshole is in his apartment,
as miserable as you are.

If he's so fucking miserable,
he can call me and apologize.

Okay, this is it.

Honey.

If you decide to have
this baby with that asshole,

go and have
the baby with him.

I'm behind you 100%.
I'm your mother, remember?

If you want to have this baby
by yourself, I'm here for you.

Let's do that. The only
thing that I cannot do

is watching you
watching television.

Watching novel as
and doing nothing.

Vic?

Hello?

Trish, what the hell
are you doing here?

Oh, God.

I have missed you.

It's okay.

The place looks cute.
Looks good.

Yeah, well...
How did you get in?

I have my own set.

Do you have some wine
or something?

I'll see what I got.

Thank you.

Vic, I was in
the neighborhood, shopping,

and I thought I'd come by
and see how you are.

This is all I got.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go
upstairs and change.

No, you're not.

I'm not?

You're not being a very
good host, leaving me here.

Yeah, I'm being a good host
by just going upstairs.

I'm going to change,
all right?

I don't give a fuck
if you're wearing a towel

if that's what
you're worried about.

I just want
to talk to you.

Yeah, but I give a shit that
I'm wearing a towel.

Since when
did you get uptight?

Are you uptight now?

Come here a second.

All right.

So what do you
want to talk about?

I want to talk about you.
I've never seen these before.

Wow.

Pretty ugly, huh?

I got a little reckless.

A little reckless?

Yeah, well...

Do they hurt?

When you
poke them like that.

Only when I poke them?

So, how are you?

I don't want to talk about it.
Has Jack called you?

Jack? No, he didn't call.
He's in Miami with his mom.

What do you mean
he's in Miami?

I thought
he said he was in LA.

You know what? I don't
want to talk about Jack.

Oh, no...

No, come on.

I just want to kiss you.
Come on.

I'm so lonely.
Jack's gone, too.

No, come on. You know you're
beautiful. Come on. Don't do this.

Just a kiss.

Come on, you promised.

So I broke my promise.

Yeah, well, that makes you
a liar, doesn't it?

Aren't we all liars?

Don't do this.
Come on.

Don't do this.
Come on.

No. Come on.

Oh, shit!

What?

Fucking turn around.

Oh, shit. Carmen, baby.

Carmen, I swear to God,
it's not what you think it is.

I just fucking came
out of the shower. Okay?

Carmen, I'm sorry, baby. Baby,
baby. It's not what you think it is.

I was taking a shower. She
came in... Carmen, just... Argh!

Was that necessary? Shit!

Come one, come on.
Get the fuck out of here.

Baby, I'm sorry. You gotta
listen to me. Just hear me out.

Please, baby. Look me in the
eye. Come on. I know how you feel.

If you listen to me. Just give me a
moment to explain myself, all right?

Come on, baby. I love you. You
think I'd do something like this?

Carmen, come on!

Baby, come on.

Good morning, Vic.
Nice fucking place.

Security's a little
light though.

Don't you ever
fucking sleep?

Vic, come on.
We had a nice deal going.

You can't just
run out on us.

I'm not running out, man.

Do I look like
I'm trying to fucking run out?

She wants to see you.

All right. All right.

Get dressed.

I did what I said
I was going to do.

There is the money.

I'm incredibly grateful
for that...

What happened last night?

You were supposed to make sure
there was no violence.

You know, I tried...

Tried?

What am I supposed to do
with "tried," Vic?

You said you could control
Jimmy. And what have I got?

One of my key dealers dead
because you tried?

This is how you want
to do business with me?

I am trusting you

with $1.5 million.

You're going to fix this.

Jimmy has to go.

You got your money.

Now you finish
your part of the deal.

This is obviously
all of it, yeah?

Yo, if you're short, just
give me a holler, all right?

I'm sure it's all of it.

Oh, my God, I didn't know you
were gonna bring it to me all in cash.

It's a cash business, man.

All right. God, I got to
get this to the bank.

This is crazy.

This better work.

Oh, it's a lock.
It's a total lock.

Man, we got to go out and
party tonight or something, right?

No, man, I got to
take care of something.

What do you got
to take care of?

Look, I did my part.

Now you do
your part, all right?

Sure thing.

All right, I'll meet you
there. All right, peace.

Don't come any fucking closer.

Take your hands out of your
pocket. Let me see your hands.

Here you go, Jimmy. I
just want to talk to you, man.

I just want to talk
to you. That's all.

So talk.

On my way over here
I was thinking about...

That time... Do you remember that
time when we were in about eighth grade,

and we were at that
bodega near St. Anne's?

We were gonna rob
that carton of cigarettes,

and you were supposed to pretend to
be in a seizure and we go in there, right,

and the guy...

You throw yourself on the
ground, flipping and foaming,

and the guy starts laughing. And
you start flipping out a little bit more,

going a little crazier,
and the guy laughs more.

You jump up, you grab him
and say, "Yo, motherfucker!

"Yo, if this shit was for real,
would you be laughing your ass off

"like that, motherfucker?"
And you went crazy.

You started goddamn
tearing the place apart, man.

Right then and there, I knew that you
could do anything you ever wanted, man.

Because you were
afraid of nothing.

And that shit
always stuck with me.

And then they sent you
to kill me?

Yeah.

You going to do it?

What do you think?

I think
you thought about it.

Jimmy...

Just run, man.

Just fucking
run the fuck out of here.

Just keep going, man.
Don't fuckin' turn around.

Where am I gonna go?

I don't know, man.

I don't want to die, man.

The number
you have reached is not in service.

Please check the number
and dial again.

The
cellular number you have called

is no longer in service.

There is
no further information.

Stevens,
Haus, and Gold.

Yeah, hello, I'd like to speak
to Bobby Gold, please?

May I have
that name again, sir?

Robert Gold, Bobby Gold,
attorney-at-law, please.

I don't have
a Bobby Gold listed here.

I'll connect you to Personnel.

Personnel.
How can I help you?

Hello?

Yeah...

Hello?

I'm looking for a...

Bobby Gold, a Robert Gold,
attorney-at-law.

Bobby Gold.

To my recollection, there's
nobody here named Bobby Gold.

Not working at this office.

Hello? Are you sure
you have the right...

Excuse me.
Can I help you?

Yeah.

I'm looking for Jack Wimmer.

Just a moment.

There's no one in this
building by that name, sir.

Excuse me, sir,
you can't go in there.

Shit! Fucker!

Son of a bitch.

Man,
I fucked myself.

You know, I've watched suckers
get taken for $50

playing three-card Monte,
and I always thought,

"You dumb fucks,
you deserve to be taken.”

Now I'd been taken like a
chump for more than $4 million.

Everything I got, plus $1.5
million of La Colombiana's.

And the only thing
I had to go on

was the number
Jack had called me from.

It was a Miami number.

Look, I've been in crazy
situations all my life.

But this was the first time
that I was all alone.

I had nowhere to turn
and no one to help me.

Fucking team ain't here no
more. Shit like that happens, man.

Speaking of
the fucking devil, man.

I'm out of here, man. Fuck.

Where you going?

This motherfucker
looking all sad and shit.

Four million? Shit! That was
pretty fucking stupid, man.

Man, would you shut the fuck
up already with this shit, man?

It's bad enough,
all right.

No doubt. But it was
pretty stupid, man.

Look, man, I'm trying to hide this
motherfucker's head in the middle of the project,

you're throwing darts
at it, feel me?

How we going to
get at this motherfucker?

I know where he's at, man.
He's in Miami.

All I gotta do is just track
his ass down. That's it.

Let's go get his ass.
No, no, no.

This is mine. I got to go
at this shit alone, all right?

Just need your help
to get me some cash

to get from here
to there, that's all.

You know
whatever I got, you got.

It's all there, son.

See what Jimmy's got.

Twenty-one.

He play better now.

Carmen?

So you're gonna
let Victor know?

I don't know.

Most people like surprises.

It was good to see you.

Thank you.

Carmen.

Baby, don't. Please.
Please, no, no, Carmen.

Not now, please don't.
I can't do this right now.

I know how you feel.

Just come and sit down
for a minute.

Can I talk to you,
for a minute, please?

Yeah. Come on.

Are you all right?

My God, you're so huge.
Look at that.

Oh, my God, I can feel it.

Baby, I'm so sorry. Look, I know
you're mad at me and everything.

I'm gonna fix everything.
I know how you feel.

I just got to go away
for a little while, all right?

And then I'll come back.
It's just...

It's your son.

It's a boy?

No kidding, it's a boy?
I don't believe that shit.

Oh, my God!

I can't believe it!

Baby, that's good.

I can't believe it.
I knew it was gonna be a boy.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

I'll have Jay come for you
and take care of you, all right?

If you need anything, you
just call me, all right? Okay.

I love you, baby.

I love you, too.

Hello.

Hello. Yes, hello.

I'm a friend of Jack's.
I just got into town.

I lost his number,
can you believe that?

Luckily he gave me
your number as a backup.

Who are you? You're a
friend of my son from New York?

Oh, yeah, we've been friends
for a long time.

Since college and whatnot. He just
asked me to come down for the weekend.

And he gave you
my number?

It's not like him
to give out my number.

Yeah, well, he didn't know what
number he was going to have.

He's told me
so much about you.

I hope while I'm down here I get
a chance to meet you, you Know?

That's sweet. All right.
Let me get that number for you, honey.

You know, Jack's staying in
South Beach. He has a new condo.

Uh, the number is...

Oh, no, no. Don't worry about it. I
don't need the telephone number.

Just give me the address.

Twenty minutes there. I was
supposed to meet him 20 minutes ago.

At this point,
I didn't know

what was more important to me,

getting my money back,
or getting even.

You know
what I'm here for, right?

Yeah, man.
A calentarme.

You know I'm retired, man. Why
you got to come to me with that?

Come on, man. You know if I had
a choice, I'd never get you involved.

Take the gum out your mouth.

Take the gum out your mouth.

Put it under the table.

All right, man.
You okay?

Yeah, definitely.
Here, start the game, man.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sure.

All righty. Well, listen,
I got to get going.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay. I'll talk to you
soon. All righty. Bye.

Oh...

It's such a shame
we have to leave like this.

I love it here. You better be
taking me someplace warm, Jack.

You know how much
I love the sun.

Check this out.

Put that away.
You know I hate guns.

Watch. Watch. Watch.
Put it away.

Very good.
Don't point that!

I'm putting it right here.
Thank you.

I'm done!

Finally.

- I'm gonna call the limo.
- Okay.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck.

Fuck!

What's the matter, Jack?

You got nothing
to say now, man?

I don't know what to say,
man. Come on. You're so quick.

Tell me a fuckin' story.
I don't know what to say.

I don't know
what to fuckin' say!

You're not happy
to see me, baby?

Vic.
Trish, move away from the bed.

Just put the gun down.

Move away
from the fucking bed,

and put your
hands up and don't move.

Just put the gun down!
Shut up!

Shut up for one second!

Move away from the bed
and put your hands up.

You hear me?
Just put the gun down.

I know your type, man.

I grew up with you
motherfuckin' get-over artists.

You're a fuckin' liar, man.

You've been lying for your whole
fuckin' life. You know what you are?

You're fucking scum, man. You
think that's your girlfriend over there?

That gap? She's a fucking
cavity. Hey! You shut up.

Motherfucker.
Shut up!

You got nobody, man. I had
friends. I had a fucking woman.

You ain't got
no kind of fucking life.

You know what
your mistake is, baby?

You think you're too smart.

Just put the gun...

Shut the fuck up! You could've
walked away with $1 million,

but you fucked up, man,
'cause you pushed me too far.

I know I fucked up.

You put me in the hole. So I got
nothing to fuckin' lose. You understand?

Vic, think about Carmen.

Never say Carmen's name,
you fucking whore!

Listen to me. It's going to
be worked out, you know?

Put the fucking gun down!

Shut the fuck up!

Trish, where's the money?

The money's in that
fucking bag right there.

Fuck!

Thank you, Trish.

How much is there?
Listen to me, $120,000.

You need me.
You know you need me!

Jack, if that's your name.
Jack. What is your name?

I'm not telling you my name.

Can't even tell me your name?
Why shouldn't I kill you then?

You want the money? If you
want the $4 million, you need me!

I don't need you, you fuck.
You pushed me to the hole, man.

Just be calm for one second.

You know you need me
to get that $4 million,

and if you want to be smart,

you don't want to be
some fucking stupid spic...

Don't ever call me a spic,
you piece of white fucking trash!

God damn you!

Where's the money, Jack?

Jack, come on,
where's the money?

Trish?

Oh, God!

Tell me where
the money is, Jack.

I don't wanna
have to fuckin' kill you, man.

Just tell me
where the money is.

Ghetto piece of shit!

Jack.

I took Carmen and
her mother back to Puerto Rico.

With the money, we opened a small
bar down in the south of the island.

It's quiet most of the time,
but we get by.

Hello?

How's everything going?
Good? Enjoying yourself?

You have any complaints,
let me know, all right?

It's time.

We're at the hospital.

Tell Carmen to hold on.
I'll be right there.

Yeah, yeah. How is she?
She doing all right?

Damn, it's coming.
My boy's coming, man.

Drinks on the house,
and close early!

It's kind of funny
when you think about it.

I mean, I did some pretty
bad things in my life.

Broke all the rules,
hurt a lot of people.

But here I was. My kid's
life was about to begin,

and I had another chance.

Damn.
Like I said before,

had I known
what I know now.

I guess it was naive of me to think
that I could actually get away with it.

Escape my past.

Yeah, but that's not
how it works.

Because you know
a man's actions

always have
their consequences.

And deep down I knew that.

Maybe what it's all about
is thinking about someone else

instead of yourself
all the time.

Maybe that's what
I was always missing.

If I can leave
something for my son,

then maybe my life was
worthwhile.

He's so beautiful.

I think I'm in love again.
He looks just like Victor.
