Original subtitles

At the beginning there were only a few who did not feel slaves.

They had enough of what they had.

-Come see baby Ardino! -Hey, wait for me!

Developed in the belief that that you should strive

to fight for freedom from domination.

Fear, hate and possession, It led to merciless persecution.

To avoid them, We have become nomads.

We have gained freedom. We had everything except one:

Seeds of life growing in us, Of which the child spills out.

And so we had to go there, Where could we be fertilized?

To ensure community safety, Our faith remained pure.

-Boy. -No! No!

Ardina should be next.

Preferably tomorrow. -Exactly.

Among women the most valued were those They were good at defending the community.

-The best of them was named ... -Hundra!

Beast!

Come on, coward! We have a hunt don't look for trouble.

You don't like being ordered. Like every man.

Hundro, you won't be here for long - That's enough to get meat for a week.

Instead of hunting, you should like Ardina, Get a new life in the village.

Ardina tried Already about five new lives in the village.

You are the oldest of a family that has no children.

Probably your sister will do it sooner.

Certainly, several times.

The goiter between the legs. It gives me greater pleasure.

We were very safe With people like Hundra.

We often laughed and and we lived in peace.

But when I live in peace Forget about the world

About the things before You should defend yourself.

Everyone died.

Wherever she looked everything was ruined.

Sixteen men chased her through the mountains.

All day and night until morning.

For one purpose: Kill the last of the line.

Finally a chance has arrived.

Beast!

Beast!

Tired and completely alone, Hundra went to

Hermits Ask the worst for advice.

She was angry, confused When she came to me.

Wait.

You're Chrysula.

And you are the only one Which survivor?

Hundr.

I can not believe,

even if I can see it with my own eyes.

With more knowledge, strength and possibilities,

instead of looking for men to give birth, we should strengthen ourselves.

And what next? Your people are gone.

- Yes, words of wisdom. - Without offspring ...

There is nothing to strengthen.

Our relationships with men They make us stronger.

No man has ever violated my body Neither by the sword nor personally.

Sword not but You have to think it over, otherwise ...

- It's coming to an end. -No!

Yes!

In the ashes There is still a spark.

Her fate ...

He became your fate.

You Hundro You are that spark.

Your destiny is move her to another place.

You are young and strong.

Thanks to you the spark will turn into flame.

How do I know, That I chose wise?

The choice of a man is not important.

I gave birth to ten and each one from another father.

Others were born more.

Where can I find the best one?

Most of these strong can ...

Find in the south under the sign of the bull.

But men with this sign they destroyed my people!

So they make that it will be reborn again!

I'll take care of that never will die out completely.

I will teach him how to survive.

He will be as strong as me.

Strong and good weapon ...

It doesn't provide you with survival.

Put down the Hundro sword.

Find out, When you really need to use it.

And learn it well And when you find out ...

Then you will fully believe in yourself.

Soon my time will come.

I'll wait.

Will you come back again? with child.

I anoint them.

Go now

Fill your fate.

She didn't know yet How to behave.

Hundra did not want to Just do their will.

I want to run over.

I have nothing for you, man.

The farther south the more men, But she was still looking ...

Bull Sign.

Pig, pig!

And who is crawling now?

You are free. Go ye!

Go ye!

Although she expected something more. She did not receive anything that she did not get from other men.

{y: i} She felt that in the city ... He will have more choice.

-No! Please! No! - Come on, we're going to the temple.

Please do not!

- He's too young. Please! She is too young! -Let me go!

-Leave me! Please! -There are many others.

Get off, man if you want to live today.

-Leave me! Leave me alone! -Get out!

- Get out! - Get off the horse!

-Come! Are you going with us!

Thank you for wanting help my granddaughter.

- I'm Landrazza. And you... -Hundra.

-You are strangers here. -Yes.

Come in if you want to eat something. We now have one empty space.

Make a poor choice Great Nepakin?

It's hard to judge.

Without a doubt, This is the best.

Daughters of the fisherman. Wash well with lemon water.

They are of low quality. You have to do something about it.

If I leave here alone, I will find a lot better.

Wash them well.

Maybe we should look among other tribes.

To improve quality and maintain good reputation with customers ...

- Enough, please! Leave me alone! Please! -Do not touch me!

What are you standing there, idiots? -Please!

- Get out! - Take me to others!

-I lead her out.

-Why so late -We had problems with the woman.

What duren has problems with some woman?

Yes. Women are primitive by nature. And pretty silly.

It was different. She rode a big horse.

She had light hair, she was tall and dressed like no other.

Bring her to the temple. We'll see what this one is.

Take more people with you, If you need ... protection.

Think about how great Your fame will increase.

-I can already feel these emotions! Prepare everything to celebrate.

All these preparations They are so annoying.

Their inability to maintain their proper appearance, It hurts my senses.

- They're so rough -Rothare, it doesn't stop you.

Yes sir.

What will happen to your granddaughter?

She was taken to the temple,

teaches her those habits,

And she will be given to the leader.

It will become a symbol of beauty for those Who knows nothing about beauty.

- He'll serve them there. -Some women have reason to serve,

But of my own will.

You? Woman! You'll go with us!

I said, You are coming with us!

-Why? - Because the high priest Nepakin commanded.

- No man will order me. - Brat me!

Stop her! Keep these women!

Stop her! Don't let her escape!

Beast.

To the east gate!

Out of the way!

Brac is alive! You two, up! And you, to the east wall!

What an amazing entrance. Through the roof?

All right?

Do not worry. I am a healer.

I want to check if I have something you didn't break.

Can you speak

You will give me a child.

I see you hit your head hard. The rest is rather fine.

-Who you are? -Hundra.

-Tarkome! You feel better? -I feel much better, thank you.

- My son is well? - He just ate bad fruit.

But all is well.

You're busy.

Yes, I need to fix the roof.

I will take him home and return to the temple, Before she sees me away.

See you soon. And thank you.

-Tarkome, what is being said? -Thank you.

-And now. -It's your child?

-No. - Good, because I need a girl.

I think you should go now.

-I chose you. But I didn't choose you.

- A man can't be forced to love. - Men are forcing women.

Yes, but there is a difference between us.

And I'm not going to show you anything ...

It won't help at all.

And how do I hide my knives?

And from that woman, Would you?

She doesn't belong to me.

- Is he from the temple? -Yes.

So i go there I will be like her.

Wait a minute. It's dangerous in the temple.

I can not help it. This is my destiny.

Now you will go with us to the temple.

Dinner lasts too long for my taste.

Come here!

-Bull! -Byk

Praise-Bull!

Praise-Bull!

Praise-Bull!

Welcome, powerful leaders. We're together again

On the night of purification. But first, choose the ones that ...

They will accompany you In this celebration.

I think this one is perfect. You can see that it was made for riding.

Great shapes, perfect for Sanctification.

This one is not tame!

No!

This one is wild! Isn't that great?

There is a lot of fear in her.

It may tear your throat out During fun.

You know a lot about fear. This is the strongest emotion.

I see you are hard.

What can not be said about you.

Maybe I could teach her a little humbleness?

It may not be that easy.

I give her 1000 gold coins for her.

- This is not impossible. -1000 coins, and I want on my knees!

It still won't make you have me.

- Another 1000!

-Dziewieciu.

Enough! Let's start the ceremony.

Great leaders! Here are the virgins Waiting for two months ...

For this celebration. His grace and beauty This is an amazing night.

Cut your eyes so that they do not miss Nothing beautiful about you.

Untouched and ready For such great warriors.

But this night He will lose his innocence in honor of the great bull.

Ready to fill everyone Commands.

Bow to the bull.

Come.

I never swear.

I thought I would be clean.

It will soften and cover your scars.

Scars are a sign of misery.

Men should fight for you And not against you.

I don't believe I have to do this.

You must take all measures. Thanks to this, he appreciates your beauty.

You have to do something with this hair.

Better cut off!

It looks much better. But what about her character?

It is much milder The high priest.

You want to say, Tracimo, That you managed to remove this rebellion?

-Yes. - So where is this angry face?

Because it wasn't my choice.

Your choice was made when you came here. You are a bitch

And your only task is to serve the guests.

- I don't care. -Silence!

You will pay for it! You too, if you don't teach her.

He's supposed to accept the truth.

I accept only the truth. I speak.

I said silence!

There is no need to float.

Please, remember, How does the female mind work ...

You need to think to achieve your goal In a perverse way.

With the consent of. Occasionally there are rumors.

That one of the women He hides his son in the city.

If you are only telling the truth, say Have you heard anything about this?

I did not hear.

Detriment. I finally wanted to explain it.

The chief will demand from you Male offspring.

Do you understand? Truth? Tracimo.

-Yes. -You know they are threatened by barbarians.

-Truth? - Yes, I know Rothare.

Well. Now go! Go back to your work!

He knows. He knows.

Thank you for saying nothing. But it doesn't make sense.

Do not Cry.

-Walcz! -I don't want to fight, I want to survive!

So I'm doing everything I can. No matter how silly it looks.

Now I am to teach you. That men are your masters.

You're wrong! Men are not our masters. And to survive, you must fight!

- I must protect my son. -Protect him!

Listen, I will pretend That I learned everything from you.

But in return you will take lessons from me.

Come on, both of us will become beautiful. And I will teach you how to become master of your masters.

No! Look into my eyes not on hand.

She'll tell you what I'm going to do. Lets try again.

Am I feminine enough?

Well. I have to leave tonight.

-Why? - I have to be fertilized.

-Why are you laughing? -You have to learn a lot about men and women.

-One night with Pateray won't give you a baby.- - There will be more of them.

-Nepakin can't find out. Do not worry.

I will stay here. Beware ... Let's praise the bull.

-Are you from the temple? -Yes.

If nothing hurts you. You didn't have to come back so late.

I am Hundra.

You are so beautiful.

Tracima taught me.

You're a woman.

Hi! What have we got here

It is from the temple.

Body from the temple.

Now we will see What are the leaders trying so often?

What will happen when he says about it In the temple?

She won't say anything! Truth?

And you won't do anything about it? Woman?

Or maybe they used you so often Did you like it?

You have a choice. You can stay with them or with me.

Tracimo.

- They did ... -Did you like it?

Oh yes!

What about Pateray?

I do not know Am i pregnant

I think I should try again.

And again and again ... And once more.

- What are you up to? -No

Only something bothers me. -What?

I have a child in me.

Will you leave now

When I'm with Pateray.

- He's not my enemy. Will you leave him?

I can't stay with him. This is not my destiny.

Maybe your fate has changed And you should stay.

I'll stay.

Until he decides when to leave.

Why aren't they? as open as we are?

Months passed And the child was growing in the womb of Hundra,

Roslo also indecision, How long to stay

Tracima was hiding her condition, A Hundra ...

She had the most difficult task. He was struggling with his own destiny.

I will try again.

-Where have you been? -This is not the only child born today.

It's so close. But I don't want to turn around.

Scream! Scream! Do not be afraid! I will scream for you.

All women screaming. Scream!

Further.

Scream! Scream!

Bring my daughter.

The next son will be. - We're leaving, Pateray,

When he gets better. We must leave.

Hundro.

You needed me tonight as a doctor.

People in this city They need me all the time.

I can't leave them. This is my destiny. We will stay here together.

You do not have to worry.

-You have to go so fast? -I have no choice.

There is a ceremony in the temple today.

Full of noise and perversion. I will leave, only silence and death will remain.

I knew it was your destiny. Child.

But I had hope That we will spend more time together.

We will always be together.

Daughter will know.

Help you with something?

Yes.

Try to understand.

And always trust your destiny.

I think we found something yours.

-Where is my child? Wait!

That's how it is today, or your child It will become food for sepia.

-Where is my child? - He's in the mine. Guarded.

-Tracimo! - Please, do what he says.

You still serve them

And you never stopped It's all fear.

Don't say anything ... - A woman.

Bow to your masters.

You had to cut her tongue

- It's silence, Nepakine. - It's for your pleasure, Gordozo,

Silence. Worship for the bull.

It belongs to you.

Bow to the bull!

Nepakin wants a child in the temple.

I see a teacher She also learned something.

-I want this baby. -You have to come closer.

A little too late depends.

But you regret it.

- Will you come back sometime? - Maybe, but now someone is waiting for us.

Beast?

Beast!

Hundra's life It was marked by a fight.

Like others who have been alone for centuries Forged their fate.

Let it be remembered that it is Hundra ...

The first planted the seed of peace, For all women.

Look, I found it!

15 years ago, -

a giant gorilla was seen in small town at the Himalayas.

The villagers lived in peace for years.

Except the earthquake during that year.

If we'll find the gorilla -

and sent it to Hong Kong -

we will be rich and famous.

The animal is long and very strong. It's not easy to catch.

But it's still animal.

With our intelligence -

we can win it.

And even if we don't catch it alive, we can use it for experiments.

And we'll get lots of money. - That's right.

I know scientist named Chen Zhengfeng.

Also he want's to find the gorilla.

He's been down after he broke up with his girlfriend.

Zhengfeng...

Have you already decided after our conversation, -

will you lead our expedition?

Have you thought about it? - All right.

I'll come with you.

Let's go to look.

Let's go.

Zhengfeng.

Come here.

I'll introduce them.

Good day.

These are Mr. Chen and Mr. Lin.

Expedition team has 6 members.

Welcome.

And we hope that you find that gorilla soon.

Keep in touch.

Look.

What's going on?

Let's help at pushing!

Hurry up.

Let's continue.

We haven't seen anyone -

during last days.

We have long journey still ahead.

Strange!

Why the village is abandoned?

Is anyone here?!

Elefants are coming this way!

Elefants.

Hurry, run!

They have gone already.

Get up.

Let's move on.

Let's go.

Zhengfeng, you have been quiet -

since you came here.

Are you all right?

We are at the same boat.

And we are close friends.

What's wrong with you?

Tell us. And we'll see if we can help.

It's not a big deal.

Is it about your girlfriend?

I know you broke up.

I have 2 intimate friends in Hong Kong.

One is my ex-girlfriend.

She loves singing, and other one is my brother.

He's TV-producer.

He's a real businessman.

He wants to be famous some day.

We had everything fine, -

but one day when I came home -

I catched my brother and her together.

Zhengfeng.

You two.

Why? Why he?

I didn't anticipated.

I didn't know that you two...

I really didn't know.

Please believe me, I really didn't know.

Zhengfeng.

After that -

you decided to lead the expedition, right?

Forget the whole thing.

There are lots of nice girls.

After we have catched the gorilla, -

you'll be world famous.

You'll have many women.

Let's got to sleep, tomorrow is a long day.

It's quicksand!

Don't shoot!

Why not?

Are you okay?

Get the medikit.

Hurry.

Hurry up.

Was that necessary?

Why did you kill him?

Let go of me.

There wasn't reason to save him. We don't have enough medicine.

I don't wat to waste anything. - You...

That's enough, I have had enough already.

Let's go back to Hong Kong.

There is no giant gorilla. We got screwed!

Calm down.

I'm convinced, that we'll find that gorilla.

We have come so far already.

We can't afford to return, right?

No.

Let's go.

Straight forward.

This track looks fresh!

I believe it's not far from here.

My wife is a gorilla.

What? Who is a gorilla ?

Ah Wang.

Ah Wang, stop!

Don't do it.

Greetings.

Mister.

I know about the giant gorilla.

I will try to lure it to Wanchai construction site.

It is less populated area.

I'll come quickly to there.

I'm there.

Attention, all units, we need to lure the gorilla -

to Wanchai construction site.

Send an armored vehicle unit and wait for my order.

Make checkpoints to largest intersections. Try to stop it.

Shoot the gorilla.

Yes.

Everybody on it.

Okay.

I have a way to control it.

What way?

Girl named Ah Wei.

Gorilla raised her.

If only we can find her, we can control the gorilla.

Where is this Ah Wei now? - She has escaped.

He is from jungle and dressed in animal skin.

She is easy to find. - On animal skin!

You were cooperative. We'll find her together.

Attention, all units.

We are looking for a girl who is wearing an animal skin.

Her name is Ah Wei.

There she is!

Take her down.

They didn't control the gorilla.

We need helicopters.

Focus your all units, I need all the help.

Blow the gorilla.

Follow it and make sure -

you won't hurt citizens.

Everyone to their places.

Fire.

It must be obtained.

Attention, everyone.

It climbs to Connaught Centre.

Bullets don't stop it.

Fill in the roof water tanks with gasoline -

and lay bombs. We will blow it.

The building will be destroyed too.

Doesn't matter. It is the only option.

Fill the tanks. - Yes, sir.

N�.

Don't.

Ah Wei.

Ah Wang.

What now?

Come.

Don't shoot!

Gorilla is crazy.

If we don't kill it, it will destroy Hong Kong.

This is Ah Wei.

Gorilla raised her. She gets it to calm down.

Really?

I pray for you, do not harm it.

One condition.

Promise me you won't kill it.

I promise.

Are you sure?

I'll keep my word.

Stop shooting.

Stop the shooting now.

Ah Wang.

Ah Wang, lower your hands.

Ah Wang.

Let's go back to the jungle.

Ah Wang.

Attention, all units, gorilla has calmed down.

Now is your change.

It must be killed.

We have to.

Yes, sir.

Stop it.

Well done.

It must be killed.

No!

Hurry up!

Explosives unit is ready.

Place the bombs. And wait for my order.

Yes, sir.

You are setting bombs. Commander promised me -

you wouldn't hurt the gorilla, when it is under control.

We do only our work. Speak to Commander.

Do not move!

It is useless to defuse.

Tanks are filled with gasoline -

and there are bombs everywhere.

It'll explode soon and the gorilla dies.

Shoot it, kill it.

Ah Wei.

Ah Wei.

Let's go, the whole place will explode soon.

Ah Wang.

Ah Wang.

Go away.

Ah Wang.

Ah Wei.

Ah Wang...

Ah Wei, go.

Go down, soon.

Ah Wei.

Hey.

I don't know about you guys, but me,

I've had it up to here.

There are some 40-odd homicides a day on our streets.

There are over two million illegal guns in this city.

Man, that's enough guns to invade a whole damn country with.

They shoot a cop in our city without even thinking twice about it.

Now, come on.

I mean, you guys ride the subway.

How much more of this grief we gonna stand for?

How many more locks we got to put on our goddamn doors?

Now, we ain't got the police,

the prosecutors,

the courts or the prisons.

I mean, it's over.

The books don't balance.

We are a statistic.

Now, I'm tellin' you,

you can't go to the corner and buy a pack of cigarettes after dark,

because you know the punks and the scum own the street when the sun goes down,

and our own government can't protect its own people.

Then I say this, pal,

you got a moral obligation,

the right of self-preservation.

Now, you can run, you can hide, or you can start to live like human beings again.

This is our Waterloo, baby!

If you want your city back, you gotta take it.

Dig it? Take it!

How we doin'?

Make another sound, and I'll cut ya.

No! No! Help!

Please! Stop it! No!

No!

No! Shh! Be quiet.

No! No!

No! Get off-

No! Shh.

No! Help! Help! Stop! No!

Help! Stop!

Be quiet.

Shh.

I won't forget your face.

Stop it!

How come we never get a case on the ground floor? Hiya, pal.

Ken, what do you have for your favorite detective?

Oh, miss, you mind staying a little longer?

So far, nobody's heard anything. Nobody's seen anything.

The usual. If you come up with anything, I'll be working upstairs.

Alex, we're workin' on the roof.

Let me explain somethin' to you.

They started trial proceedings without me, right?

They never notified me. Chips?

Yeah. They knew where I was, right?

They got no proof that they never notified me of the papers.

So my lawyer's gonna throw mistrial at 'em, right?

- The little guy with the cap? - That's him.

I got this case beat, I'm tellin' ya.

The next time I go to trial, I'll be old enough to collect social security.

You understand me? I'll be old enough to collect social security.

And I got this thing beat, I'm tellin' ya.

A shame all this crime. Thank you, Mrs. Vogel.

- You ain't got no more stories, Rubin? - Come on, you guys.

What are you breaking my balls for? Hey, who are these three guys?

Slime! Rubin, man!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone! Come on!

Leave me alone!

There it is. Yep, there it is.

Just keep watching. Here we go.

Okay, now. Oh, no.

They must be scared.

Wow. That thing's going around. Yeah.

Pretty good. Nice and easy. We're gonna bring it around.

- Pretty good. - It's going out far.

Now, watch how I control it. And bring it down like that.

Bring it up like that.

Wow! Coming again. Coming again.

Bring it around. Not too close to the trees.

There we go. Here we come in for a landing.

And it's down. Okay, go get it.

Okay, Daddy, I'll go get it.

Ooh, I'm freezing.

Be real careful out there, Scott.

Oh, Eddie, it�s just-

It's so important that we spend more time together, all of us.

Whee! Listen.

Business is taking up a lot of my time right now.

But I had a good idea the other day.

As soon we got a little bit more dough coming in,

what we'll do is we'll pack up the van and we'll take a little bit of a trip to Florida maybe.

Good idea?

Oh, that'll be wonderful.

Here you go, big man. I'm hungry, Daddy.

Nice. Hi, baby.

Are you cold? I'm freezing.

You guys ought to put in air conditioning.

Hey, Eddie, how you doing? All right.

You just in time for the football pool. You want in?

Who have I got? Blind pick.

Only cost a buck. Blind pick, huh?

Here's my lunch money. Who's gonna pay me off?

Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. How about you, Ramon? You wanna get in on it?

Hell, no, man. Every time I bet with you, I lose.

Where's the machine? Right there.

Burke, you want in? Yeah.

Ramon. Eddie. ? C�mo est�?

Not bad. How you doin'? You look terrific, man.

Younger as the years go by. Yeah, I'm losing my hair.

Come on. Burke.

This is the motor I pulled out. Yeah.

And that's the motor I put in, and it still don't work.

Okay, let me at it. It's all yours.

Salsa]

Fill it fast, pendejo.

How long do you think it's gonna be? Oh, about another 15 minutes.

It's $10.

How much, man? What are you, deaf? Ten dollars.

We ain't got it. You punks make me sick.

You look like some kind of animals. We don't want you in this neighborhood.

Now, you get out of my station. Get out of my-

- Mommy! - Stop him!

- Hey, lady. - Get out of my station.

What the hell are you doing? Hey, stop it!

Get off of me! You stop that!

Stop it! You leave Mr. Nulty alone!

Get out of-

I'm gonna call the police on you. Call the police.

Fuck you. Bastard!

Yo! Rico!

! Vamos!

Hey, guys. I got a good story for you. I just heard it this morning. You guys wanna hear a story?

No stories today, Jake, huh? Just a nice, cold beer.

You bring me some cash today? Payday's tomorrow.

Put it on the tab.

The beer's warm. Pour it yourself, huh?

You got coffee? You get that from Tracy.

Hey, look who's on the tube.

Listen, there are certain politicians in this city...

who don't wanna see a successful Italian businessman.

I own a leasing company. I rent equipment.

It�s just racist propaganda.

Just because I dress well and I live well,

does that mean that I'm involved with sex or narcotics?

Looks like the feds caught up to Stokes.

As far as the indictment, my lawyers are gonna handle it. l-

Nah.

Dudes like Stokes don't get caught, man.

Everybody knows that with his connections,

the most he'll ever do is weekends at the federal country club.

Come on out.

Scott, I want you to go upstairs and I want you to put yourself to bed, okay?

I don't wanna put myself to bed.

Scott, just do it. Okay?

Please?

Mommy will be right up.

Take your jacket.

Berry Craftsman, Incorporated. Eddie Marino, please.

I'm sorry. He's not in right now, ma'am.

How long ago did he leave? Fifteen minutes ago.

Never mind. I'll call back.

Country Western]

Hey, Jake. Gibby, how are you?

Okay. How are you? Good to see you.

My lunch ready? Yeah. A couple of minutes. Relax a while.

Okay. Thank you. Overtime for me. I don't care.

I'll work till 8:00 tonight. I'll see you guys in the morning.

You pick up the check. Right, right.

We got more coffee? Where's that girl?

The law is here.

Last night we found a kid on a lot over on Jackson Avenue.

His friend said somebody pulled him off the street.

Broke every bone in his body.

Then left him in the lot like a sack of dirty laundry.

Now, I know we only got two cars out on nights when we need 10.

But I'm in that seat eight to 10 hours a day, in the heat, in the rain.

I don't wanna hear about no goon squads or lynch mobs.

You guys start something like that,

and sometimes it don't quit on its own.

After work, stay home like other people.

Which people, Officer Gibbons?

The ones who are afraid to come out of their houses after dark?

Enjoy it, Gibby. Thanks, Jake.

Is Eddie Marino back yet?

No, he isn't, ma'am.

Would you have him call his wife as soon as he gets back?

Sure. Thank you.

Police operator 729.

Yes. This is Mrs. Marino at 8772122th Street.

I just had an incident with a man at a gas station and he threatened me.

Now I�ve just seen him in the front of my house.

Could you please send a patrol car right away?

We can't do anything about a verbal assault, ma'am.

But I am alone here with my baby.

Please.

Calm down, lady. Calm down. Relax.

We'll send over the next available patrol car.

This is gonna be easy.

Hey, you're really too smart.

- The name's Rico. - Ooh.

Lady, you don't know who the fuck you messin' with, man. Are you crazy?

You're crazy, lady. You got some nice family, lady.

Are you gonna come over and slap me in the face and kickin' my people around?

Yo, mami, where you hide your bread?

- Yo, mami, where you hidin' your money? - In the kitchen.

- The kitchen. - Yo.

- Scott! - Mommy!

Hide!

No!

You leave him alone!

Leave him alone!

Let go! Let me go!

Let go! Let me-

Mommy.

Let me go!

Scott! No!

Somebody!

Somebody help me!

Help me! Somebody help!

Help me! Help me!

Someone!

Help me! Someone!

My baby!

No!

Burke, I gotta pick up a part tomorrow morning.

I'll be out of your way by 10:00. You'll get your machine back.

Thanks for the tools. Great.

Let me ask you a question.

That thing with the cop this afternoon- what was that all about?

You ever a victim, Eddie? What do you mean?

I used to be a cop.

That's all I ever wanted to be,

ever since I was a little kid, you know.

The day I got my shield, I felt like I was John Wayne.

I was gonna fight crime. I was gonna be a hero, you know?

My partner, he thought I was crazy.

He had a year and a half to go till his pension,

and he wouldn't bust a shoplifter because he felt it was a waste of time.

He got his pension and I got laid off.

Look, I know where Gibbons the cop was coming from.

There are better ways to handle these situations.

Hmm.

You part of this thing too? God said he'd help those who help themselves.

That's all we're trying to do.

It�s just about people trying to help each other.

Oh-

Come on! Stand aside!

Let us through! Look out. Look out.

Vickie! Hey! You! Come back here!

What happened? Mr. Marino.

Where's my wife? What happened to my family? Listen to me, Mr. Marino.

Don't torture yourself by being here.

We know who's responsible for this.

If you wanna make this thing come out even, go see this district attorney.

Good evening. Astoria General Hospital.

I'm sorry, sir. We're not allowed to give out that kind of information.

Uh, Mr. Marino?

I'm Dr. Fallon. How's my wife?

Well, she received severe lacerations of her lower abdomen.

You want a swig?

Uh, several of her vital organs were punctured.

Her neck and spinal cord were badly damaged.

She's- She's lucky to be alive.

I wanna see her.

Look, there's nothing you can do.

Why don't you go home for a while.

We're, uh- We're taking really good care of her.

Uh, I didn't tell her about the boy.

I'll try to keep that from her as long as I can.

Come on, Eddie. I'll give you a ride home.

No, thanks.

Mr. Marino, District Attorney Fletcher's expecting you.

Her office is the first door on the right. Thank you.

Come in.

- I'm Eddie Marino. - Please be seated.

Thank you.

I'm Mary Fletcher, Mr. Marino. I'm sorry about your loss.

Look, I've never been through anything like this before,

so you'll just have to tell me what to do.

Well, the police have a Frederico Melendez in custody.

He's the leader of the Headhunter gang.

A gas station owner has signed a statement...

that he saw Melendez assault your wife.

I want you to sign that.

It's an assault complaint.

I'm gonna seek indictment for murder and assault,

because we have a witness to the assault.

I could have gone after the whole degenerate gang.

But have you ever seen a dozen gang members sitting in a courtroom?

They scare the hell out of a jury.

Are you trying to tell me that this guy's done something like this before?

Melendez has had 22 arrests.

Of the half a million felonies in this city,

only 4,000 of the defendants have actually been tried, convicted and sent to prison.

Eighty-five percent of all serious crime gets disposed of...

through misdemeanors, dismissed or not even prosecuted...

because witnesses are afraid to testify.

A mugger is usually back out on the street before the victim gets out of the hospital.

I want this guy to pay for what he did to my family.

Okay.

You sign that.

The city still catches your eye from here, you know?

It's 'cause you can't see all the trash from here.

You can't see the 10-year-old kids pushing dope on the streets...

or giving their asses away in the parking lots.

When I was a kid, I could sleep with the windows open.

I wonder what happened to that.

We let it get away from us, Eddie.

And now that we want it back, we can't even pay for it.

This thing's turning my guts.

Hey, man, come on, huh?

Let it out. Take care of this situation by yourself. Make you feel better.

We got a system of laws. We got courts. What the hell you talking' about?

System?

System, my ass.

What goddamn system?

Who are they protecting, the scum on the streets or us?

One day some juveniles come to my old man's house.

They beat him till he couldn't hardly take a walk or a piss by himself anymore.

You know where those punks are now?

Still on the street.

So I ask myself,

what happens if one day some punks come to my house?

What's my life worth?

That's why I carry that, Eddie.

You figure that's the answer, huh?

That's my judge and my jury.

And what happens if you do something to me I don't like?

Or I don't like the way some guy's got his hair parted?

Pretty soon you got assholes all over the street...

Looking to blow each other's brains out.

And if I do that, what makes me different than the scum?

Hey, that's something you got to figure out all by yourself, man.

Yeah. What if somebody needs me to testify?

Yo, Prago. Yo.

- Diablo. - How goes it, brother?

The bro's say-

Hi, sugar.

Mr. Marino.

We're the first case on the calendar.

You're a little light, ain't ya, kid?

You'll get the rest when he get off.

Oh, yeah? Well, listen to me, pal.

You screw around with me, and your ass will be with legal aid...

and that spic friend of yours will be raw meat in jail.

Now you can count, bad man.

See you in court, homes.

I hope you have a strong constitution, because you're gonna need it.

Why? Judge Sinclair.

All rise.

The man is an irresponsible asshole. Remove your hats. Find seats, please.

Put away those newspapers. There'll be no smoking in this courtroom.

Be seated.

The State of New York and Edward Marino versus Frederico Melendez.

- Both sides ready? - The People are ready, Your Honor.

Who's representing Melendez?

Anybody here for Melendez?

Excuse me, Your Honor. Counsel is present for the defense.

- This is an assault charge and a felony murder. - Yes, Your Honor.

- Are your papers in order? - Yes, Your Honor.

- How does the defendant plead? - Not guilty, Your Honor.

Your Honor, we have a signed affidavit...

from an eyewitness to the felony who is willing to testify at a trial.

Is this eyewitness present?

Mrs. Marino is presently incapacitated at Queens General Hospital.

Excuse me, Your Honor. May the counsel please approach the bench?

- Counsel may approach the bench. - Thank you.

Your Honor, my client is willing to plead guilty to the assault...

if the felony charge against him is dropped.

Your Honor, we are talking about homicide.

The state wishes maximum penalty.

I expect the state to wish as much.

The state is willing to drop the felony charge.

Fine.

In lieu of the defendant's previous record of no prior convictions-

He has had 22 arrests.

I've tried the defendant myself.

This is an arraignment, Counselor.

This is a felony assault request, Your Honor.

The state wishes to seek an indictment...

on the defendant's 22 arrests,

not on his previous no convictions.

A defendant's past history has no bearing on present allegations.

Mary, why don't you relax? This case doesn't have to come to trial.

He has a rap sheet a mile long.

The state and my client demand the right to prosecute.

There will be no demanding in my courtroom.

I would advise you to take your snide behavior and obvious frustrations elsewhere.

Now, does the state have a proposal?

- Fifteen years. - Fifth- Are you kidding?

We're plea bargaining here. Show a little compromise.

- I quite agree. Can you take five? - No, Your Honor.

This would be the defendant's first conviction.

Now, we propose two years suspended sentence,

if possible. No.

No way. Two years it is.

- Wait a minute. - Back to your seats, Counselor.

- This is crazy. - Miss Fletcher, you're out of order.

Damn it!

- It's in the bag. - The court will dispose of this case in the following manner.

I'll accept a plea of guilty to assault...

and drop the felony charge.

- Are you ready for sentencing? - Yes, we are, Your Honor.

- The court sentences you to two years. - It isn't enough.

Sentence to be suspended.

- The defendant is remanded... - He can't do that.

- Yes, he can. - Thank you, Your Honor.

- Bailiff, next case. - Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

- Order! Order! - You're letting him get away with it!

- I said, order! - You can't let him get away with that.

- You are in contempt! - This guy killed my kid!

- You're crazy! - Did you hear me? I said, order!

- Restrain that man! - You-

- Restrain that man! - You're nuts!

Restrain him. You are in contempt! Thirty days. Get him out of here.

Here you go, sweetheart.

Right here.

You're home, sweetheart.

Oh, look.

Hold up here.

You wanna open 19,Joe?

Come on. Right over here.

Have a nice day.

You wanna close 19?

You think we got enough money?

You got it? Yeah.

Tell your friends I got some good shit later on.

All right, fuck off.

See you later. Why don't we split it up?

You're in my way, bro.

No shit.

Fucker! What the fuck is your problem, man?

You all right? Yeah, man. I'm cool.

Like this. Come on, man.

Fucking bitch. Go get him. You sure you're all right?

I'm all right.

What's your problem?

What the fuck is wrong with you? You ain't shit.

What the fuck is wrong with you, you big fuckin' dope?

You better go back to that guy in the wheelchair.

You couldn't catch my sister, you big fuckin' dummy.

Save some for me, Burke.

Right over there.

What the fuck do you want? You.

Why don't you guys leave him alone?

What's the matter with you?

All we're trying to do is make him feel at home.

Come on.

See you later, pal.

You know, if I were you, I'd watch myself.

I didn't ask you nothing.

You're pretty hostile to be a white ass.

I got a right to be anything I want.

Man, you're on the rock. You ain't got no rights.

You�re just another nigger.

And just one more word.

Take that pitiful look off your face...

or you won't make it through the day.

I'm tired of watching you dealing dope in our neighborhood.

Maybe the man can't do nothing about it, but we sure as hell can.

Who supplies you? I ain't telling you shit.

All right, you don't want to talk to me, talk to them.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

Come on, cool it. Cool it.

All right, you ready to talk to me now?

Go fuck yourself. Still want to play, huh?

All right, fuck, play Superman.

No! No!

Ohh! Ahh!

Talk, punk! Give me a name! A name!

- I want a name! Talk, punk! - It's Horace. It's Horace. Horace the pimp.

He drives a silver Caddy.

He hangs out at the Plaza.

You should have said all that at first.

They's all window shopping tonight, baby.

They're all fags.

Tell that to Horace, gal.

We ain't made a dime tonight.

Here's that good-for-nothing- You better get back over there.

How much money you got?

I got it for you.

Don't get funky with me, bitch.

There ain't no action out there tonight, Horace.

- It's spooky out there. Something's wrong. - I don't give a shit. Bring me some money.

But, Horace- Get out there and get me some money.

Now get the fuck out and get me some goddamn money. But-

Take that shit.

Damn recession.

How the fuck do they- they expect a working man to make a goddamn living?

Damn it. Son of a bitch.

Sucker. Just bring it, sucker.

Get me out of here! Get me out of here!

Have a party.

On your knees, sucker.

Did you hear what he said? Aah!

You bastard!

Hey, man, I'm bleeding.

What the hell is going on here, man?

What the fuck did you do my car like that for, man?

Who are you dealing for, Horace?

What's wrong with you guys? Crazy?

I'm dealing for myself, man. Now fuck off. Who put you up to this?

Sly Jones? You workin' for him?

Look, I got a roll, Jack.

It's all yours, man.

Who's your supplier? You ain't smart enough to deal for yourself.

Your mama ain't smart enough to deal by herself.

Punk, we'll break you into so many pieces, they won't be able to put you back together.

Now give us a name!

Man, I can't. I can't do no shit like that, man.

Please, man.

Please, man. Don't make- Don't make me do no shit like this, man.

You guys are going to get me killed, man.

Okay, man.

I'm dealing for my main man, Mr. T.

Mr. T? Who the hell is Mr. T? Spell it out, punk!

Man, I can't- Please don't make me do this, man.

You guys talking suicide, man.

Thomas.

Thomas Stokes, man.

Just because I dress well and I live well, does that mean that I'm involved with sex or narcotics?

Dudes like Stokes don't get caught, man.

Just a spoke. It's the wheel I want. Come on.

Yeah, all right, fine. Good.

All right, let's go.

Hey, what is it? Hey.

What is it? Who are you?

What do you want? Hey, whoa, brother. Whoa.

Whoa, brother. Is this what you want? Here, take it.

What is it, man? Hey.

Don't you know who I am?

Yeah, I know who you are.

Eddie, don't come back here.

And whatever you have to do outside, don't get caught,

because you don't want your ass back in here.

Come on, Marino! Move it!

I want him.

Rosie.

Hey, Rosie. Rosie!

What the hell is taking so long? Cono man.

I'm coming, papi.

And have I got a surprise for you.

Look what I have.

I have this...

and this.

Will you get over here? Come here.

Eddie, can you handle that?

Get over here.

Yes.

Who's that? I don't know.

Negra, abre la puerta.

I don't know who it is. Negra?

Who the fuck is that? Abre la puerta.

Negra.

I'm gonna give you some Negra right in the lip, mother fucker. I'm gonna light you up.

Hey, man! Hey, come on. Take it easy.

Girl, girl. Come on.

- Hey, hey, what are you guys crazy? What are you doing, man?

Come on.

Hey, come- Hey.

Hey, man. Hey, what are you guys doing, man? Take it-

Hey, what the hell is- No, man. No.

- You killed my son. - No! No!

Prago did it, man. It wasn't me. You got the wrong guy, I swear.

Man, I didn't shoot your kid.

You got the wrong guy. No, man, wait, wait. Mister, please.

Let's go.

Oh, brother, what a mess.

I want all these reports directly to me.

How do we release this?

Exactly like I told you inside. Another junkie hit.

You know it's not.

You want to give me a minute?

I'll be standing by the door. Okay.

You trying to tell me how to do my job?

You know what happened in there.

I damn well know what happened in there. So, what are we doing about it?

We're keeping it quiet. Do you want to go to the newspapers? Fine.

Then they'll make heroes out of these guys.

Then you can have one of these every week. Is that what you want?

Yes? Can I help you? Yeah.

I'd like a room pass to 67.

That's, uh, Vickie Marino.

I'm sorry. You'll have to speak to Dr. Fallon. Wait a minute.

This is my wife. And I was here before and they wouldn't let me see her.

I-I'm not sure why, but they-

Doctor, what the hell's goin' on around here? I want to see my wife.

I'm sorry, Mr. Marino, but, uh, you can't see your wife.

Why not?

Because, uh, she doesn't want to see you.

Well, excuse me, young man.

It's clearing up very well.

We're waiting for the results of the-

Miss Yvonne Conway.

Miss Yvonne Conway, extension-

Vickie. No. No.

Vickie. Don't touch me, please.

Don't say that, honey. Look, it's gonna be all right.

We can do something about it now. It's gonna be all right?

Look at me. Just look at me.

Don't. Don't. Look at me.

See me. Look at me.

I know it was horrible, honey, but-

Nobody helped us. We were alone.

And you blame me?

Vickie, look it- Where are you going?

I am not going back there. Never. Okay.

I don't feel anything...

for us...

anymore. Please, Vick.

Honey.

It was the husband. I saw the entire bunch.

Rico? Rico gone?

Bastards.

We can't let them walk over us. Get the brothers together. Ah, shit!

How does it look? Nobody's around.

Check the roofs? Yes, sir.

Let's check over there.

Sure we're in the right place? Positive.

What was the complaint? Prowlers.

It's pretty quiet.

Yeah. Bet it was some prank call.

Oh, shit!

God-

Hey, buddy.

How ya doing?

Wonder what happened to you. How's it going?

Vickie's not coming back, that's how it's going.

I see.

You blame yourself, huh? Is that why you�re running?

I'm getting out of here as fast as I can. That's it.

Look at this. Ten years of my fuckin' life. What is it? Plastic shit.

There's got to be someplace. I don't know where, Nick,

but someplace where they can't come along and kick your ass anytime they feel like it.

- I don't know anymore. - Yeah, man, I know how you feel.

No, you don't.

My neighbors, they all saw what happened. They didn't do shit.

Forget it, Eddie. They're victims, man. They gave up a long time ago.

Everybody's a victim. So what?

You're still walking around in the dark, man.

You want to run?

Go ahead.

After you, then Burke,

Ramon, maybe me.

But I'll tell you this.

Sooner or later, man, we're gonna run out of places to hide.

What do we do then, huh?

Climb on some high mountain where it's nice and safe?

Wrong.

After they finish turning this neighborhood into a cesspool,

what makes you think they're not gonna look up at that high mountain of ours and want that too.

The word is out on the street, man,

the bottom is about to fall out.

They want us bad. But they're coming after you first.

These are our homes.

We give them up, we got nothing.

Fight for it, Eddie. Fight for it!

Hey, man, what's wrong with you? You crazy?

Stay out of the street!

You got a problem, chump?

Fuck.

Damn.

Come on, man.

What the fuck are you doing?

You're fucking up my car.

This your car, huh? Yeah.

Give me the keys. Give me the fuckin' keys, man!

What are you doing? I'll move it. I'll move it!

That guy just stole my fuckin' car! He stole my car! What are you, a cop?

He stole my car!

Whoo!

All right. Come on, sucker. You want to do it?

Whoo! Ha. Get and go!

WBLS, New York.

R & B] All right, chump, you wanna play? Come on, let's go.

Go get 'em, baby! Go get 'em!

Son of a bitch!

Shit.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. I'll kill ya!

You killed my son. Fuck him.

Go ahead, man. Go ahead. This don't mean shit to me.

It does to me.

Good night, Your Honor.

The court sentences you to two years.

Sentence to be suspended.
