Original subtitles

What?

Yeah.

You fucked with the wrong guy, bro.

Give me my fucking money now. You ain't got nothing coming, man.

Fuck you, man. Get the fuck out of my face.

Damn, Chico, you're fucking crazy, man. He's trying to rip me off. You should

have stayed out of this, Morales.

Hey, miss.

Hey, gorgeous.

Let me talk to you for a second.

I need some directions.

is the quickest way to your heart.

So where you headed? Design class.

So when are you going to let me look at some of your stuff?

My stuff's not ready to show yet.

Well, your stuff's looking fine to me.

You just never stop being BP.

Hey, I'm just trying to be friendly.

Well, I'll tell Rick you said hello.

All right.

You do that.

You do that.

Tell us who shanked you or what.

I cut myself on a paper towel machine.

Yeah, yeah. Happens all the time. Well, why don't you take Mr. Integrity out of

here?

This thing is bad now. It works. Come on. Come on.

Anybody see what happened?

Maybe someone will report something later.

In private.

You know this crap is not going to stop until somebody comes forward.

If it happened to him, it could happen to you.

Right.

All right.

It's over. Let's go back to class.

I said back to class!

Gotcha!

What's the matter with you?

Nothing. I'm just a little edgy, honey. I'm sorry.

Will you walk with me? Sure. Did you bring your lease?

What's wrong?

It's nothing, hon. It's just a little cut.

Were you in on the knifing?

Yes.

Yes and no.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means yes, I was there and no, I wasn't in on it.

Rick.

Honey, look.

Tried to break up a fight and I got cut in the middle of it. That's all.

Right?

Did you quit worrying so much?

Anyways, you know I quit the pochos for us.

And you know we're gonna get out of this damn place.

You ever gonna get this thing running again?

Yeah, man.

I'll get your bike running.

I don't know if you're gonna be alive by then.

Rick, those guys at school that you got sliced for, they're a couple of

assholes.

Hey, it's always stupid, okay?

Hey, I'm late for work.

Can you help me with my homework? Can you finish it for me?

Yeah, yeah, I'll do it.

Thanks.

I'll put you back with one of those sci -fi books, alright?

Alright, sci -fi city? Yeah, you got it.

Short time, 20 bucks.

What the fuck?

Hey,

Rick, give me some of that money, man.

Don't work that way, bro.

All right, then how about a couple of burps?

Man, the manager's cracking down. Said no more freebies.

But I told him you were looking for a job.

Oh, yeah?

So what's up?

Say, keep you in mind.

Man, that don't mean shit.

Man, I got to pull together something now, man. I'm sick of being dry.

I'm better off hanging with my cousin down at the rock house.

Nah, man. There's better things to do than dish and crack.

You'll find a job. Where, man?

Where?

Hey, hold up, man.

Here.

Have a burger.

Oh, hey.

Thanks, man.

I'll be right back.

See some stars.

Hey,

Negrito. Things don't change, huh?

Let me ask you something.

Why don't you just smoke that shit like everybody else, eh?

So what, homie?

You had as many needles sticking out of you as you stick in you.

You look like a porcupine, man.

Why don't you stop mainlining and space -basing, Holmes?

You're turning into a freak.

Hey, let me tell you one more thing.

That meeting I set up with these negros, the grays, when we get there tonight, I

want you to do me a favor.

I want you to shut up and let me do all the talking, okay?

The way you look when you get like that, you're going to fucking ruin the whole

deal. What do you need those negros for, man?

What do you need, jammer?

Go straight to Stedman. Man, Stedman's black, and their grades are black, and

don't want to have any problems on the street.

You listen to me.

I made a promise to them. No guns.

No fucking guns. Do you hear me?

I'm telling you.

And you, come here.

I want you to look at your friend here with this bullshit.

If you fucking get stronger like that, it's not right to be a vantoloco.

Man, I wonder what motherfucking time it is in Mexico.

Fucking five to get you ten, man. These motherfuckers is men in each other's

wounds from the YY because they got you sneaking into the motherfucking country.

So,

man,

I hope you motherfuckers came clean.

No guns, no knives, and most of all, you brought your motherfucking green card.

This is what I want you to do.

Go get the rest of them nasty motherfucking wet bats and y 'all bring

in here.

Do it now.

No guns.

Nada.

This is Hammer.

I can see.

You've gotten older, huh?

Hey, this is good living. I see your motherfucking belly button is touching

backbone. That's okay. We can call each other names all night.

And I can kill you right here.

Kill me?

But I want to talk some business. Hey, look, G's don't die. G's multiply.

G weigh all day. G for life.

G sucks my dick.

You're gonna fuck around. Fuck you, man.

Listen. No, no, no.

Stop now.

I'm telling you once, man. What you should have did is come here by yourself

without all these other...

Be polite, motherfucker!

Come on, let's get the fuck out of here!

I'll call

them

later. I gotta get ready.

Rick again?

Mom, what is it with you? You're always picking on Rick.

I was just hoping that you'd start seeing someone else. That's all.

I told you he quit the gang. What is he up to? do to make you like him?

I like him.

You're just too young to be so serious.

I'll be 18 tomorrow. You were 17 when you had me.

I don't want you making the same mistakes that I did.

Mom, you just don't know how wonderful he is. Oh, how romantic.

You have to start thinking about more practical things, Melissa.

Jobs, for instance.

Rick has a job and he's going to join the Air Force.

And where did that leave you?

Chasing after him at air bases all over the place.

You need something more stable, Melissa.

God will work it out, okay?

What now?

What?

Look at this place.

It's great.

This place is beautiful.

Look around you.

Oh, you mean the stuff that my mom has in here?

Yeah.

Check this out.

How's that?

Better? Better.

Good. Much better.

I have a present for you.

Go on.

Oh, Rick, it's beautiful.

Would you take this like an engagement ring?

Are you asking me to marry you?

It's what an engagement ring is for, isn't it?

Where'd your mother get all this stuff?

I don't know. There's like a damn church in here.

Tomorrow night for your birthday, we're going to go out in style.

I'm going to borrow Jesus's Nova.

Hey,

look at you, man. You've grown, eh? I know that, man. Hey, guy.

Hey, I appreciate this, man.

It's your car. Don't worry about it.

Hey, he shouldn't be here, homie. You're not at Pocho Holmes.

He jumped out.

Nobody's jumped him out. He's still at Pocho.

You're nasty, Morales. You know,

when I slit your arm, I should have slit your nuts. Chico, I was saving your

fucking ass, man.

Open your eyes, Chico.

He's kept you from slicing your own dick off. You think about that.

Hey, Jesus, man, forget about it.

Fuck you.

You know, if he wasn't your cousin, homie...

Thanks,

man. Time is gonna come when you come back to help Pascal de Barrio, mano.

Or forget it.

Hey, every time a new chick gets laid in the backseat of my car, just adds to my

ride's karma, que no?

Hey, I want you to guard my ride, your life.

You got him, man.

For Jesus Christ.

Let's go waste these fuckers, man.

Alright, let's do it.

Take the back, let's see.

Remember,

jabbers for me, eh?

You're gonna be all right.

Run that way, man, when you can, okay?

Get over here. Lay down.

They found this in the closet.

I hope this is not who I think it is.

Oh, Jesus, Morales, I thought you were smart enough.

Miss Grace killed my cousin. What do you expect?

Obviously too damn much.

Hey, come on, Morales. You've got a visitor.

I want to talk to you.

Are you all right?

I blew it. I just went crazy when I saw what they did to Jesus.

I'm sorry about Jesus, if there's anything I can do.

You can just forget about me, Melissa.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about they got me on attempted murder.

I thought it was a deadly weapon, drug charges. The DA's talking 10 to 20 years

for me.

Craig.

Yeah, well, it's not fair for me to keep you hanging on.

None of this is fair.

You have to try and forget about me. That's all.

I can't keep you hanging on anymore, hon.

Rick.

Rick, I need you.

Hey, Melissa, baby.

Would you hop in? Let me give you a ride.

No, thanks.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your old man and all.

Hey, Melissa, look.

I don't see no reason why we can't be friends.

Is there anything wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong, VT. I just want to be alone right now, okay?

What's the

hurry?

Boy, aren't you?

Please, Tigo, just leave me alone.

Now, are you to be my Ruka?

I'll give up baseball.

Stetman. Yeah, she's in the plan.

What fucking plan?

Hey, they got new plans, homie.

Check it out.

Your grave's being a slammer, dig?

And that means a whole new turf is open.

Stetman's gonna cut a whole new hand on cards, man, and you?

You can grab a whole lot of new turf, man.

A ton of bullshit.

It's your choice.

Easy, baby.

Fuck! Hey, man, Stetman's gonna do what he want, bro.

And you and me gonna change that shit.

But if you go mess with this new bitch here like this, he'll give you something

to ease your pain.

A couple of hits of this shit, man, and I guarantee you, not only will your dick

be busted.

Let's relax.

Take a deep breath, huh?

Hey, I'm your friend, remember?

Here you go.

Let's go over here, huh?

Stop here for a second.

I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come along.

Hey, no problem, huh?

Those dirty bastards.

Hey, go ahead and cry, huh?

You're safe now.

You just need to smooth out some.

Come on, listen up.

If you need a lift or something, don't be too shy to ask, huh?

Ain't no biggie, you know?

Hey, wait.

Help warm me up.

Sit back and relax.

I'll be home soon.

I don't feel like going home.

Not ready to face my mother yet.

It's just the way it is.

But when I'm feeling low, I take me a little blow.

Something to ease the pain.

I don't want to do that, P .T.

I

really

don't think I should.

Go on.

Treat yourself.

I don't feel any different.

It's because you didn't get enough.

You got to take a blast.

Suck it in real fast and deep.

I really feel like most bands don't

have the right look, you know.

His clothes aren't put together in a way that makes him stand out.

Yeah.

Do what you're saying, baby.

I mean, when I get out of school, I'm going to design the best clothes and

everybody's going to want my work.

That is, if my work's good enough.

Hey, I've seen your clothes, baby. You got buku talent.

You sure do.

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

Ain't no problem, baby.

Just need to chill out some.

What time is it?

About 8 or 9 o 'clock.

Shit, my mom's going to be worried. I've got to go.

talk to you.

Oh, Morales, Morales.

You know something? You were the one kid I thought had quit this gangbanging

bullshit.

Tell me, what is the fascination?

Is it the shirts?

They killed my cousin.

Who did?

Come on, Ricardo.

Help us gather information so we can put these guys behind bars.

I mean, where's your family loyalty?

It doesn't work that way, man.

I see.

You guys are always bragging about...

All I see is a bunch of punks hyped up on drugs.

By the way, how's your brother?

He's okay.

He's okay.

He's in a wheelchair because of a stray drive -by bus.

He's okay.

We've got enough shit on you to keep you in here a long time.

Now you can refuse to cooperate, fine.

You can piss your life away, fine.

The states supply you with a knife.

Hello? What's up?

You hanging out now?

I couldn't have a class today, so I left early.

Hey, I just got word that there's a jammin' ass party downtown.

I don't feel like a party right now. Hey, I know you're feeling down, but

is gonna be a real spine mover.

The word is the high -top rappers are gonna be there.

Really? They're really good.

Those outfits they wear, they look like dog shit.

You should talk to them about designing them.

I'm not ready to talk to anybody.

Hey.

I've never talked to anybody about a design job before.

Hey, don't worry. You're good. All you have to do is make a good first

impression.

Hey, big time.

Hey, babe.

Where have you been?

I've been everywhere.

You just haven't been looking.

Oh, um, Annie, this is Melissa.

I see why I haven't seen you.

Great party.

Yeah?

of your own attention.

I'm good.

It's only coke.

Just a little concentrate and that's all.

Kind of like, uh, frozen OJ.

Hey, travel boy, huh?

No, no, no. I mean, no.

You can do better than that.

What you think this is, a damn bathroom?

Tramping around.

Who do you think you are anyway, coming in at three in the morning?

So what's the matter with that asshole attorney of yours?

Should have had you out a month ago.

He's assigned to everybody that got busted that night.

He hasn't even had time to review my case yet.

Shit. If we had money, we could have had you out like that.

I know.

It's time to go, Morales.

I gotta go.

Right.

You take good care of my mom, okay?

Have you heard anything about Melissa?

No.

She hasn't been around in a long time.

It's over now.

It's better that way.

Come in, Melissa.

Stop.

Melissa, I'm very disappointed in you.

Your grade, your attendance, even your appearance.

I feel it's only fair to warn you if you continue on this course, you might not

graduate.

Well, I'm kind of having a rough time right now.

I'm worried about you.

Look, I know your social life is none of my business,

but I've always thought of you as a special student.

My main concern is that you get back on track. Do you think you can do that?

Now if you need anything from me, please don't be afraid to ask.

This is why all the change is in you. You have no right snooping around in my

room. This is dangerous, Melissa. Mind your own business, mother.

Look at you.

You're a mess.

A drug addict.

Let's talk about who's a drug addict around here.

You're in your stinking den every night.

You're the goddamn drug addict. Don't you talk to me like that. I'm your

And I won't stand for the shit of my house. You don't have to.

Oh, where do you think you're going?

I'm not leaving.

Try and stop me!

Melissa!

Chico! Right there! Damn, man! You move, you die!

Pull over.

Yeah, don't fuck up with that guard, man, because I ain't done shit now.

Check the van.

I know he's got crack in there. Andale, vamonos.

Right here.

Hey, man,

I'm just making the calls, man.

We got a problem, bro.

I've been to see Denman, man.

He isn't cutting us any news.

I like being bullshitted.

Hey, man, I ain't bullshitting, man.

I haven't been seen Stedman. Have you, bro?

I don't fucking kill you myself.

You know what?

I think I'll let Stedman do it.

Probably do a better job.

Kill him.

Hey,

Steven.

It's BT again, man.

Hey, listen up.

Hey, come on, man. You know I'm good for it, man.

Hey, man, don't I always pay you back?

Shit! And no matter how many times you do that, you ain't gonna find no crack

there! Shut up, bitch!

You almost got my motherfucking face blown off! What are we gonna do?

Okay.

Okay, I'll make another call.

See if I can check out another source.

Okay.

Stuff's inside, but you gotta go in there and get it.

Why not you? Hey!

If they see a black man in this neighborhood, they'd like to call a

national guard.

I don't think I should. Hey!

You want to get high or what?

Hello? Is anybody here?

It's so dark in here.

Hello, Melissa.

Nice to see you.

What's going on?

I got an emergency phone call.

It seems you need this.

You know, this is very bad for you, Melissa.

Why don't you just give me your bag, huh?

Not so fast.

B .T.'s getting this on credit.

That means there'll be some interest to be paid.

In advance.

Take off your clothes, Melissa.

I don't believe this.

This is no business for a special girl like you.

But you'll learn.

Let me go!

Can't we just smoke some?

Just a little? No.

The first rule is business first, then drugs.

Take off your clothes.

It's your choice.

Hey, I was just getting ready to call you, man.

Hey, you saved me a trip.

Oh!

Hey, Mr. Thurman.

Hey, man.

I know what you're thinking, man.

But that was a straight -up, straight -up rip -off, man.

Man, I got jacked for that shit.

Man, they put a pistol to my head, man. I almost came up short.

They ain't got nothing going on with the Pachos, man.

They jacked me good.

Hey, Mr. Thurman, you can look around for yourself, man. You see, I ain't

the shit, man.

I ain't got no crack. I ain't got no dope. I ain't got shit, man. You can

for yourself.

You insult me by making me come here.

You're not crazy enough to hold out on me, are you, BT?

You been losing your grip?

No, Mr. Cash.

Been smoking too much and moving too little, huh?

You lost a whole shipment.

Leaving me with a financial burden.

Now how do you propose to make up for that?

Senator, I'll take care of it, okay?

Don't worry, I'll pay you back in full. Just give me some time.

Push your bitch, PT.

Yeah, that's my old lady.

Used to be.

Bitch,

don't you do nothing I don't tell you to do.

Don't you even breathe.

You understand me?

Don't you worry.

You and I, we're going to go down real fine.

Let's buy you some time, BT.

But you're going to make up for that lost shipment in full.

Understand?

Yes, sir.

Youngblood. Tripper, my man. Hey, boss man, what's happening? How you doing?

Hey,

Mr. Stedman. Take care of the shit.

Good to see you.

Hey, Tripper, this is my bitch.

I want you fucking around with her.

You understand that? Yes, boss.

I think you and I are going to get along real well.

$20?

All right, hang on.

You want two dimes?

Yeah.

Here you go, man.

Real sweet.

That's my baby this morning.

Are you all right?

Well, you know, there's a few simple rules around here. Number one, always do

exactly what I tell you to do.

The second one, don't ever attempt to leave this house.

And thirdly, you're here until BT repays me.

But if you're a nice little girl, I'll get you all the drugs you need.

Please, I hurt. I need something bad.

Then I'll get you something bad.

Trevor, get in here.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

Get your feet, Bob.

Got it, Bob.

Put some lipstick on.

Hey, Chico.

Danny. What's up, homie?

What you got to drink for this time, homie? Oh, man, I nailed the gavacho,

brother. And the liquor's for us.

Big time, homie.

It's cold out there, man. It's on my locos.

It's chilly, bro.

Yeah, well, whatever you say.

Hey,

man.

What's the name of that chick of yours?

Or a white chicken.

What is it you had to speak to me so badly about?

Stedman.

What about Mr. Stedman? I think I can help you bust him.

Really?

And how do you propose to do that?

I think I can get inside.

Bullshit, Morales.

That's a black run house.

They're not going to let no whipped Dick Chicano go waltzing in there.

I know a dude who's inside.

That's not important.

You want Stedman or not?

Thanks.

Why this sudden interest in Mr. Stedman?

Listen, somehow he's got my girl in his house.

Just bust the bastard so I can get her away from him.

So how do we know she's there against the will?

You've got her all messed up on drugs.

Maybe we can cut a deal.

Hey, yes, sir.

I got out, man.

No, everything's cool.

Hey, you remember that guy, BT?

You know where he lives?

And I just kind of owe him something.

Yeah.

All right.

All right, man. Thanks a lot.

Later.

Ugh!

Are Deadman and Tripper ever gone at the same time?

Annie, listen to me.

We're going to find a way out of here.

What are we supposed to do?

Lie through the sky like two little birds?

We're going to get out of here, Annie.

Stay out of here.

With that... You'll

find out.

Here, strap this on your ankle.

And what's this?

That, my friend, is your phone home.

Okay. When Stedman makes the exchange with his supplier, you let us know and

move in.

That's tripped out, bitch.

Tripper, come here.

Bitch, come on.

I'm finished with her.

You can do what you want to do with her.

Come on.

Shh.

It's going to be all right.

It's going to be all right.

Thank you.

Means that much to you?

Yes, she does.

She does.

Rick, I'll tell you something.

Sometimes when you get that heavily involved in drugs, there's no coming

She can make it. I know she can.

Rick,

what the fuck you doing here, man?

Same thing everybody else is doing, man. I want to score some decent shit.

Yo, wait. Check the door, man. I got it, home.

Hey.

Yeah?

Like what?

I need a couple of these.

It's going to cost you, man.

That's what I got this for.

You sure?

Of course I'm sure. It was just the start, man. I'm taking over B .T.'s

You jumped him out?

That's right. Whoa, whoa.

You asking for trouble, S .A.? The Stedman don't want nobody but brothers

them streets, man. Look, it's not good to fuck with him.

Look, want to keep things smooth?

I got a master plan, but let me talk to the man.

I can't do that, man. The Stedman's busy right now. Come back tomorrow night.

Let me talk to the man now. Look, it don't work that way, okay?

Come back tomorrow night.

All right, I want two.

I want two.

I just got to get myself out of his motherfucking place, man. Crazy -ass

motherfuckers down here.

Shit, man, I was in a motorbike accident, but that's all right, you

check it out.

I'm going to Hawaii, man.

I got some bad -ass women in Hawaii. They all wait for me on the beach, you

know. See, I've never been there, but I know how it is, you know.

You know what I'm saying?

Fuck this place, man.

Going by Vegas first to win me a couple thousand dollars?

Yeah, buddy.

They got me some fine women waiting for me there.

So, Chello, what time?

Now, where's Stedman? Hey, you talk to me.

I talk to Stedman.

I talk to Stedman only.

Take a fucking walk with me.

All right, Holmes.

I'll take my business somewhere else.

Yeah, you do that.

You got it, blood.

Hey, motherfucker.

Fucking feet down.

I heard you jumped B .T. out.

You heard right.

Why?

I got connections.

B .T. don't got connections.

Cool.

B .T. don't got connections.

Yeah, I got people that pay me up front. I tell you what.

We start you off with a quarter of a bird.

You move that shit, we talk contract.

We don't talk nothing until I talk to Stedman. Listen here, motherfucker.

Rick, Rick, Rick.

My offer is the best you're going to get.

The way we do business.

Take it or not.

I'm going to go make a beer run.

This is making me very, very nervous.

You gotta get close enough to Stedman to finger his secondary source.

Hey, I'm doing everything I can.

I've been there three times in the last five days. Look, man, I can't keep an

entire attack force on alert much longer. I'm getting too much pressure.

It's tough for us to justify these drug buys.

What, you got a better idea?

We're going to have a good time tonight, baby.

I'm going to look up here. You know what it's like.

Don't you?

Come here.

Come here, baby.

Shit, bitch, you stink.

When was the last time you had a bath?

I don't know.

You're just like all the rest of them. You come in looking halfway decent, and

the next thing you know, you're turning into a goddamn coke freak.

Get your ass up. Come on.

Shit.

Smell it.

Get in here.

Get your hands down.

Get in there. Get in there, bitch.

When Stedman finds out that his drugs are not hitting the street, he's going

know you're not moving his shit.

I'll teach you to keep your ass clean.

Get back here.

I'll make it work. I'll make it work

Clean as a whistle.

You must be Morales, huh?

Yeah, you must be Steadman.

Yeah.

You like that beer?

I thought you'd probably like one of them tortillas and beans.

One of them Coronas.

This is fine.

That's good.

It could be your last one.

Now cut the shit, Morales. Where's all the stuff you've been buying from us?

It sure as hell hasn't hit the streets.

Man, you've been talking to the wrong people.

Man, don't give me that people bullshit.

Now, either you're storing it up for your own house or you're working with

bad boys.

Either way, I'm not induced.

Youngblood, bring me that torch.

Here you go.

Smell burnt flesh.

Foul odor.

Yo, boss, the man's coming up the path.

He's got the bag.

Okay, hit it. Get him in, get him out.

He's headed for the back door.

I'll find out what you know later.

bad kid.

Let's hope we haven't sent him to an early grave.

Quick Deadman weigh it and give me my money. Look just relax. We're better in

three minutes. Come on

This

is the last time I come here Steadman you
