>> 30 years old and no driver's

license.

Fucking ridiculous.

I could have stayed and hired

another cameraman.

>> Have some jerk with a shitty

camera and no eye shoot it?

Forget it.

Look, we'll bail him out, drive

him to the rehab, and drive

right back up.

We'll just be a little late.

>> I don't understand.

The lawyer got a deal that he

got six months in rehab or three

years in prison, and he --

>> and the judge gave him 10

days to enter the rehab, and on

the 7th day, he got arrested

again.

>> Genius.

>> What am I supposed to do?

He's my brother.

>> I didn't even know you had a

brother, Milo.

>> I got an idea.

We could interview him about his

experiences.

>> No, that's not the film I'm

making.

I'm not interested in some

privileged white kid who got

himself into trouble.

>> Just because he's white

doesn't make him privileged.

Stop pigeonholing people.

>> I'm not pigeonholing him.

>> He's a victim of the very

system we're trying to expose

with our movie.

>> He's a victim of his own

stupidity.

>> If he doesn't get to the

rehab by 8:00 P.M. tomorrow,

he's going to prison.

You hear that clinking sound?

>> Yeah, my car's been doing

that.

I don't know what it is.

>> Have you checked the oil?

When was the last time you

checked the oil?

>> I put veggie oil in it

yesterday.

>> Not veggie oil.

Engine oil.

>> What about your mom?

Can't she help him?

>> Our mom lives in a cave in

Greece, our father's dead, our

grandmother has Alzheimer's, and

don't even ask me about his

friends.

>> God, I hate L.A.

It's so barren.

>> Just wait till you meet him,

okay?

He's such a character.

>> Milo.

>> Sam?

>> Is that a camera?

>> Yeah.

>> Ah.

>> It's okay?

>> Oh, yeah.

>> How you doing?

>> Hi.

Uh, cash or credit?

>> Uh, credit.

>> Okay.

This...

>> So, do you mind if I ask you

how you became a bail bondsman?

>> It's a family business.

Sign here, print here, initial.

>> So, uh, why do you pack

that gun?

>> This?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, this is...

>> Oh, you don't have to pull it

out.

>> Insurance policy.

>> What do you mean?

>> A lot of people think bail

bondsmen carry the money.

We don't.

It's all paper.

If a brother doesn't show up to

court, I could go after him.

If I no find him, I go after

you.

>> Oh, okay.

>> Like Rambo.

>> Oh, okay, okay.

>> All right, take care.

>> All right, then, Leo.

>> What's up, Leo?

>> Each day better than the

next.

>>

we're in the Volvo right here.

Come meet my girlfriend.

Her name's Bella.

Drove all the way down here from

San Francisco.

Bella.

This is Leo.

Hi, Leo.

>>

>> glad he's so appreciative.

>> Sugar?

>> No, thanks.

Just finish this, and we should

go.

>> Fuck you!

"Fac eu" means "I'll do it" in

Romanian.

>> Thank you.

>> So, uh, why were you arrested

this time?

>> It's 'cause I'm black.

>> And what happened to your

shoes?

>> I don't know.

>> You were in a cell barefoot?

>> They gave me shoes, but they

were awful, so I just prefer to

go barefoot, you know?

I was running from the cops,

right?

I fell over a wall -- boom.

Fucked up my ankle, the pigs

caught up to me, and my slippers

were gone.

They were my favorite slippers,

too -- blue and a little gold.

>> What happened to your shirt?

>> It's fuckin' hot as balls in

here.

>> I'm cold.

My shirt?

Fucking cigarettes.

I fell asleep with a lit

cigarette in my hand.

I wake up, and my favorite

fucking pajamas are ruined.

I feel sick.

Hey, do you have any laxatives?

>> No.

>> "No" no or what no?

>> Should we get the check?

>> Milo, we need to go to the

market.

I need to get laxatives,

cigarettes, and shoes.

>> Okay, but can you do that

fast?

'Cause we got to go.

>> I saw a market next door.

>> Okay, let's go.

Let's go right now.

>> Okay, I'll pay the check.

Just go fast.

>> All right. You want anything?

>> Nope.

>> You all right, babe?

>> Yep.

>> Okay, we'll be right back.

>> Okay.

>> It hurts to see you again

like this, Leo.

>> Still addicted to the camera,

I see.

Thought about seeking help?

Admitting you have a problem is

the first step.

You're not gonna help me?

You're just gonna film me?

Okay.

Do you have any laxatives?

>> $28.50.

>> Milo, do you have any money?

>> Did I go the right way?

Is

>> you're heading the right way.

Okay, pull in right there.

>> This is it?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, perfect.

All right, cool.

>> I got to get my car out of

the impound.

Take a left right here.

>> Impound?

>> Yes.

>> Oh, this is the impound.

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, you have a car?

>> Yes.

>> All right, perfect.

You can drive yourself to the

rehab, because we got to get

back to San Francisco.

>> No, no, no, no.

He's not driving himself.

He doesn't have a license,

insurance.

Look at him.

Leo, we're not getting your car

out of the impound.

>> What do you want me to do?

You want me to drive both cars?

>> I have a 1960 black impala.

It's beautiful.

>> Not gonna make it.

This car's a great car.

>> It's a $20,000 car.

You can have it to go up north.

I just need you to pay the

impound fee.

It's only $800.

>> I can't leave my car here,

Leo.

What do you want me to do?

It's $800 even?

Um, baby, are you sure this is a

good idea?

>> Are you kidding?

Did you see that car?

>> Yeah.

I just -- it seems kind of crazy

to leave my car here.

I don't even know where we are.

>> Baby, your car was falling

apart.

>> All right.

>> I'm gonna go check on the

impala.

>> No, I'm coming.

Don't leave me.

I'm coming.

>> Fuck.

>> Do you have a card I could --

it's okay.

>> Leo, that car is so cool.

What's wrong?

>> Get in.

>> Leo, you can't drive.

>> Get in the car.

>> You don't have a driver's

license or insurance.

>> I don't have Patience for

you.

Get in the car.

I'm gonna show you how to drive

it.

[ Ima robot's

"paint the town red" plays ]

>> * walking on train tracks,

thinking of the girl you

killed *

* she was the 18th...

>> Where are we going, brother?

>> Shut the fucking camera off,

Milo.

>> Don't fucking tell me what to

do.

Tell us where we're going.

>> Could you slow down just a

little bit, please?

Are we gonna go back?

'Cause I left all my shit in my

car 'cause I didn't know you

were gonna fucking kidnap us.

>> * motherfucker, I'm coming

through your town *

* I'm gonna give it to you,

watch you die *

* I could not care less about

life *

* oh, I want you to know

I gave it to you *

>> hey, yo, what's up, man?

>> How you doing?

>> Hermes wants to wash that

jail off him and shit 'cause

he's not feeling too good.

You guys are making a film about

him?

>> Who?

>> Your brother.

>> What did you call him?

>> Aw, fuck, my bad.

I called him hermes, man.

He got that name 'cause he's

always wearing that fancy scarf

of his and shit.

Crazy-ass white boy, man.

He keeps a stash of them in my

closet.

>> No, I'm not making a movie

about my brother.

This camera is just a bad habit.

>> Tell me about it.

We are creatures of habit,

aren't we?

Hello there.

They call me black aries.

>> Hi.

I'm Bella.

Do you mind if I, um, take a

walk?

>> Oh, go and do your thing.

>> Thank you.

>> Where are you going?

>> I just need to cool off a

little.

>> You mind if I ask you how you

know my brother?

>> Aw, shit.

I know your brother from back in

the day.

We used to do graffiti together.

You can still see big-ass

giant-size hermes and

black aries pieces everywhere,

man.

It was a beautiful thing.

Lovely.

>> You mind if I ask how you got

injured?

>> Yeah, sure, man.

I was a contractor in

Afghanistan.

After being a soldier in the

first Gulf war, I realized I'd

make a lot more money working

for them damn devils in the

state department as a mercenary,

you know what I mean?

I was in helmand province.

You know, that's the real rowdy

side and shit, you know.

I was over there doing this

thing -- what they call "crop

substitution."

Man, I'm telling you, just out

of nowhere -- boom.

Drug lords just hit us real

hard, or some kind of fucking

lords, man.

They definitely were running the

place.

>> You must have been in a lot

of pain.

>> They got some real good

painkillers down there.

Real good.

>> We ready?

>> Yeah, we're just waiting on

Leo.

>> Shocking.

Need some help?

>> Oh, man, please.

Thank you so much.

I've been meaning to get this

place asphalted and shit.

It's gonna happen one day.

Thank you so much.

>> You're good?

>> Oh, yeah, I'm good.

Thank you, Bella.

>> What's up?

>> Milo...

>> Yes?

>> What are we doing?

>> We're, uh, waiting on my

brother.

I told you.

>> You know what?

Put the camera down.

I want to talk to you.

Put it down.

>> It's down, it's down, it's

down.

>> Your brother has some serious

fucking problems, Milo.

>> I know.

That's why we're here.

>> Yeah, I get that.

I get that, but I really thought

I was gonna fucking die in the

car back there.

Jesus Christ.

I mean, you didn't tell me that

he was like -- like...

>> Like the very same people

we're trying to help with our

movie?

>> Oh, please, Milo.

I know you're smart enough to

know that there's a difference

between trying to expose a

systemic problem that affects

hundreds of thousands of people

and risking our lives for one

lone maniac.

>> That makes sense, coming from

someone who doesn't speak to her

own parents for political

reasons.

Look, baby, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay?

Look, my brother's just part of

the package for a few more

hours.

Please, just bear with me.

>> Fine.

>> Please?

>> Fine.

Where is he?

>> Leo, let's move it, man!

Come on!

>> I'm gonna wait in the car.

>> Come on, man.

>> I got to get my ass to rehab.

Let's go.

Aries.

Whee!

>> Oh, come on, man.

There you go.

Hey, keep looking out, man.

>> I'm gonna hit the Hollywood

sign.

>> Ooh, you better do that shit,

man.

Like old times, man.

Put me up, too.

Don't forget the black aries,

baby.

>> Hey, each day's better than

the next.

>> It's gonna get better, man.

>> Or worse.

You drive.

I don't have a license or

insurance.

>> Ha.

>> Ma'am...

Come on, Milo.

You wanted to go so badly.

Andale, andale.

Which ones?

>> I don't care what shoes you

wear.

Okay, how do I -- how do I get

to the rehab?

>> Come on, which ones you like?

>>

are we going the right way?

Is this the way to the rehab?

>> I don't know.

I have to ask my lawyer.

>> What

>> it's on the way.

It's only gonna take a second.

You're like a sister to me.

Which ones do you like better?

>> I'm not your sister.

If I had to choose, I'd pick the

shoes.

The boots are fucking hideous.

>> Are you crazy?

These are endangered stingray.

>> You asked for my opinion.

I'm telling you.

>> They may even be extinct

after this pair was made.

>> Oh, fantastic.

>> Look at the eye.

The eye is watching you.

>> That's not the eye.

That's their fake eye for

predators.

Sorry.

>> What were you doing up in the

city of brotherly love, Milo?

>> Prepping a documentary on the

American prison system,

something you're gonna get to

know real well if we don't get

you to rehab in time.

>> So, put the camera on me.

I'll tell you how I got busted.

>> Oh, pray tell.

>> You know that park that we

just passed?

That park right the fuck there.

The one we just passed.

>> Yeah, yeah.

>> I fell asleep underneath a

picnic table there.

>> Shit, I can't reach the...

>> And I was awakened to

laughter by a gaggle of giggling

girls.

The next thing I know, they

invite me to a pajama party.

>> How old are these girls?

>> They were, you know...

I go to their house...

>> Where?

>> That one right there.

I put on my pajamas.

And it's on the second story.

>> I'm just trying to get used

to my new wheels here.

>> 10:00, 2:00, Bella.

It's like a gun -- just aim and

shoot.

>> I can handle it fine.

>> We're getting our swivel on,

and suddenly, the chick's

boyfriend comes home and, um,

he's not happy.

I'm jumping out the fucking

window, I Blaze off in the

impala.

I'm going a buck twenty down

Burbank.

I hit Chandler, colfax.

The cops are on my ass.

So I ditch the car.

I'm running down topanga in my

fucking pajamas.

And I, uh...

Where do I go after that?

Slam.

I fall over a wall that's

connected to an alleyway.

10 seconds later, I had one of

those Nazis' boots on my head.

And the rest, as they say, is a

mystery.

>> Wow, but we picked you up

like 30 miles away from here all

the way in a place called

calabasas.

>> I don't...

Well, maybe it wasn't here.

I don't know.

L.A. looks all the same to me.

>> No shit.

>> This is for you, Bella.

>> What the fuck is that?

>> You look like you need a

friend.

Bill, Bella.

Bella, bill.

>> Vivian.

>> Hey.

>> Hey.

>> Hi.

>> Hi.

>> That's my brother, Milo.

>> How are you?

>> Hello.

>> He's making a movie, and he

wants you to star in it.

>>

I'm sure he does.

Harry is waiting on you, and,

boy, he is not happy.

Where have you been?

>> You know, the usual --

swimming in the Los Angeles

sticks.

Has he been treating you well?

>> No, but what else is new,

right?

>> You just give me the order,

and, uh...I'll make him dead.

>> Really?

>> Forget about it.

What do you want?

>> Let's talk later.

>> All right.

You smell nice.

>> Thank you, Leo.

>> Hey, I got you a little gift.

>> What did you get me?

>> From my travels.

It's a...

I found it, uh, in Nigeria.

And, uh, it will bring you luck.

>> Thank you.

>> Africa ain't just a country

that gave us Bob Marley.

>> All right.

Follow me.

>> You don't get it?

It's funny.

* Vivian, Vivian, mi amor

* Vivian

give me a twirl, Vivian.

Just one.

Come on.

>> All right.

Have a seat.

Harry's gonna be with you in a

minute.

You're gonna want to put that

away.

>> Milo, she's not fucking

around.

Put that away.

Five minutes, in and out.

Wait a minute, get a shot of the

bear, quick, first.

Where's Bella?

>> She's waiting in the car.

>> What?

>> She's waiting in the car.

>> Harry...

>> Hello, Leo.

Oh, thank you.

>> You have my file?

>> Got your file right here,

Leo.

That camera's not on, is it?

>> No, no.

>> Milo...

How is your day?

>> Excellent, Leo.

So, Leo...

>> Yes.

>> I got to ask you something,

okay?

>> Shoot.

>> Who the fuck do you think you

are?

>> What do you mean?

>> Well, you know, you're

fucking me like a thai hooker on

payday, right?

>> Are you serious?

>> Yeah, a little bit.

Well, you know, do you think

that that judge agreed to send

you to rehab because he thinks

you can get rehabilitated?

>> Are you asking me?

>> Yeah.

>> No.

>> "No"?

How about "fuck no"?

How about he agreed to send you

to rehab because of me?!

Because of Larry k. Rothstein!

Because he knows me!

And with that hanging on the

line and with me making it

abundantly clear to you that my

reputation hangs in the balance,

you, in your infinite fucking

wisdom, disappear for three

fucking days!

Then I find out that you get

arrested in calabasas?!

So, you tell me, you shit for

fucking brains, don't you think

that I got better things to do

than work for you, you stupid

fucking junkie cunt?!

>> Harry, Harry.

Milo, you want to go in the

lobby with that?

>> Yes.

>> Now?

>> I get a little worked up

sometimes because I really

believe in my work.

>> I know.

>> Now, I want you to be...

Clear...

Absolutely clear that you're

there by 8:00 P.M.

And do not forget the $5,000 in

cash, or they will not even

admit you.

>> You got it, h.R.

Will do.

Thank you.

>> All right, get out of here.

>> Scared the shit out of my

brother is what you did.

>> He's all right.

>>

>> Leo, where the fuck are you

gonna get $5,000 in cash?

>> I got it covered.

Just head down to Mulholland.

You guys want a tan?

>> What?

What are you doing?

>>

it's gonna get way darker, and

no skin cancer.

It's fucking cool as fuck.

>> That shit's gonna make

you orange.

Wait, is this Mulholland up

here?

>> No, keep going straight.

We're gonna hit it.

Do I look orange?

No, I look tan.

Listen.

It contains a gentle tanning

agent that blends with your

natural skin tone so your color

change is subtle.

See?

Subtle, not chalky.

>> Well, why do you want to be

tan?

>> He wants to be black.

>> I am black.

I'm supposed to be in Hawaii

right now, so I got to look the

part for the homies in rehab.

>> Wait, you know the people in

rehab?

>> Yes.

It's always the same people at

these places.

Actually, it's where we first

tried heroin.

>> She's a little friendly.

Hello.

>> Leo.

Hey, it's so nice to see you.

Hi.

What are you doing with the

camera?

Are you making a movie?

Oh, I love cameras.

Get in here.

Hi. I have the most beautiful,

bitchin' house.

These are the bad girls.

Oh, okay, sorry.

Sure, no problem.

You, um, are extremely gorgeous.

>> Would you like some carrot

juice?

>> Yes.

>> Carrot juice is good.

Why don't you go get some,

sweetie?

God, you smell so young.

>> Really?

>> Bella, why don't you come

here and help me with the

carrots?

>> Okay.

>> Here you go.

>> Thanks.

>> Here comes director Daphne.

Come on, don't tickle me.

I'm trying to, like, film here.

Oh, wow.

Too bad we can't hear what

they're saying, huh?

So, what's going on with you,

bud?

>> I'm going to rehab.

>>

>> don't laugh at me.

I'm serious.

>> Really?

>> Yeah. really.

>> Well, then, why don't we go

have one last going

cut.

>> Ha!

I told you guys not to worry.

>> Yes!

Thank you, Daphne.

>> $5,000.

Bella.

>> What?

>> The check's made out to you.

>> Let me see.

>> It's made out to you.

>> Why the fuck does it have my

name on it?

>> Well, actually, it's from

Daphne's husband, Ernie.

Daphne doesn't have a checking

account, or at least that's what

she told me.

>> * mondrian

* this way to the mondrian

* might look easy, but it's hard

to do *

* an ounce of blow in the

afternoon *

>> Ernie's a producer and an

arms dealer on the side.

Shh!

Daphne let me borrow his car,

and he's pissed.

>> * baby, I'm addicted to

friction *

* grab your hips, switch the

position *

* why your man

in the bathroom sniffin'? *

>> so he knows my last name,

thusly Milo's, so on and so on

and so forth.

>> Can you please stop filming?

>> * which way to the

mondrian? *

* this way to the mondrian

>> Bella-la-la-la.

You got your check?

Thank you.

>> What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Leo, be careful with that.

>> Nice girl.

She's a breeder.

What's wrong, man?

>> Nothing.

It's just, like, nothing has

changed.

Nothing.

It's like you expect me to be

your -- your -- your nurse, your

caretaker, your banker, whatever

else the fuck I can come up

with.

>> No, I don't.

>> I'm not always gonna be there

to bail you out, you know?

>> Yeah, you will.

>> No, I won't.

It's like you have no idea how

your choices affect people --

me or mom or Bella now.

Can you stop?

Please?

>> Oh...

What, is this -- is this

annoying?

>> Stop.

Stop.

Put it away, please.

It's not a toy.

Please?

Come on.

>> Now you know what it's like.

>> Fuck you, man.

>>

>> it means "go fuck yourself"

in english.

>> We good?

>> No.

>> What do you mean, "no"?

>> Maybe you should call Ernie.

The thing is useless.

I felt like such a fucking idiot

in there.

>> Hey, have you ever thought

about just fucking giving up and

just doing your time?

>> Kill myself before I go back

to jail.

I almost got stomped to death

for speaking with a fellow black

man.

The white dudes didn't realize I

was Italian.

>> Where am I going?

>> Head up to kings road.

It's in Hollywood.

>> * falling into the habit

again *

* of dying at least three times

each day *

>> we stick to burglary?

>>

Max!

Open up!

Open up, bitch!

>> * what you're missing will

never be there *

>> Leo.

>> It's open.

>> I was still sleeping, you

fucking cunt.

>> How's it going, Max?

It's

>> hello.

>> Max is gonna save a brother

from incarceration, aren't you,

Max?

>> What?

Switch that shit off, Troy.

>> What, did I wake you?

>> Yeah, you woke me.

>> Well, wakey, wakey, eggs and

bakey.

Max, Bella, Milo.

>> Hi.

>> Sit down.

>> It's okay, sit.

It's okay.

We're friends-ish.

>>

>> aren't you gonna introduce us

to your friend?

>> That's Troy.

Troy, this is Leo, Stephanie.

>> Bella.

>> Got a light?

>> No, there's...

>> So, uh...

My brother says you're gonna

help him.

>> With what?

Help you with what?

What the fuck you got

what do you want from me, man?

>> You know what I want, Max.

>> Oh, come on, man.

You know...

You hear, it's not about the

fucking $3,000 that I

"apparently" owe you?

>> $3,000?

For what?

>> Aw, Jesus.

It was a fucking drunken night

of backgammon, okay?

I was pissed off my fucking tits

and...

It was stupid, okay?

I'm...

I don't own him $3,000.

What are you doing, man?

Come on.

>> Giving you an opportunity,

Max.

>> I don't have a fucking

housecleaner.

>> One more round, 11 points,

double or nothing.

You win, we're even.

I win, six grand -- five for

rehab and one for my brother and

his wife.

>> I'm not his wife, just his

partner.

>> Most people think it's a game

of luck.

Actually, it's largely a matter

of nerve.

Where's your nerve, Max?

>> Leo, Leo, Leo.

Just listen to me, man.

Leo, just listen to me, okay,

buddy?

We're not playing backgammon,

okay?

I've got no fucking money.

I've got zero money.

There's nothing, okay?

Leo, are you listening to me?

I mean, I haven't had a fucking

audition in like a year.

Ask Troy.

I haven't had a fucking phone

call in a month from my agent.

He's probably fucking dead.

>> You're a fucking actor, Max?

>> Fuck you.

What, you want to see my fucking

show reel?

I'll put it on.

>> No, no, that's okay, Max.

I don't want to see your show

reel.

>> Listen, listen.

I've got a solution here, okay?

I'm gonna get you guys an

Espresso, and we will calm down

and fucking talk this out.

Do you want an Espresso,

Stephanie?

Steph?

>> Bella.

Yes, please.

>> All you guys are fucking...

Just relax.

>> An Espresso machine?

>> No, just an Espresso.

This is a graduation present

from my mother, and I'm not

gonna give you -- this is my

baby, okay?

>> Looks like your baby is

taking a trip, Max.

Give me the cup.

>> Leo.

Leo, Leo.

Leo, for fuck's sake, man.

You fucking cunt.

>> I'm a cunt with a new

cappuccino machine.

>> It's an Espresso machine,

you fucking moron.

>> What the fuck are we doing?

This is insane.

>> I don't know about you guys,

but I'm collecting on a debt.

That baby's worth at least

$1,000.

>> You stole it, Leo.

We're accomplices to this

fucking bullshit.

>> I know. Did you see the look

on his face?

>> You're fucking heartless.

It was the only thing he had in

his entire apartment.

It was a present from his mum.

Oh, my god.

>> Look, why don't we just find

somebody to buy this car

legally?

That would make a lot more

sense, I think, than fucking

stealing Espresso machines.

>> That might be tough.

>> What do you mean?

>> I mean, uh, it's complicated.

>> Let me guess.

The car's not really ours.

>> It belongs to someone who

doesn't exactly exist.

>> What?

>> What do you mean?

>> Well, what are we gonna do?

>> We're gonna sell the car.

I got a place.

I got to drive it in.

They know me.

I got to drive it in.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Hey, what's this shit?

>> That's my brother.

Don't worry about it.

>> What's it for?

He's -- he's like Mr. arty.

It's his personal diary.

No one sees it.

>> How you doing?

>> Plus, I got a little

surprise.

Careful.

Bella, I'll be right back.

>> Okay.

>> Mikey, will you grab the cups

and the thing?

It's the cardboard thing, to the

left.

There's cups and saucers.

Yeah, that's it.

Wait till you taste this shit.

>> What's, uh...

What's going on in there?

>> Uh...

I think they're selling my

stolen car.

Milo?

Can you turn the camera off?

Will you please turn it off?

Turn it off, please, please.

>> What's up?

What's your name?

It's all right if I film?

>> Yeah, don't trip.

It's cool.

>> You sure?

>> Since you're hermes' brother

and all, it's cool.

Cool with you and your heina

over here.

Fools around here call me Diego.

>> How do you know my brother?

>> Hermes?

Everybody knows hermes.

So, you guys Jack cars, too, and

shit, you know, like some

Bonnie

>> no, no, no, no.

That's -- that's...That's

herme-- I mean, Leo -- hermes'

car.

>> Yeah, yeah.

Whatever.

You want to hear some crazy shit

about your brother?

>> Yeah, for sure.

>> Check this out.

Like 10 days ago, right, he

bring me a 2004 maybach, cherry.

He was up in the hills with some

producer's wife or some shit,

you know, doing his thing, his

hermes thing.

So, he's about to jet, and he

sees the keys.

Space meets opportunity, right?

I'm telling you, this

motherfucker's a beast.

So, he snatches up the car.

Now, this is a $350,000 car

we're talking about here, and

he's high as a kite -- I mean,

loaded.

Balls of steel, man.

So, you guys here to double your

money, too, and shit or...?

>> Double what money?

>> Hey, check this out, dawg.

Be careful with that footage

there, 'cause ain't nobody got

me or my operation on tape.

You know, it's gonna be worth a

million bucks someday.

>> All right.

>> Hey, "d," Bella.

From the homeland.

>> Wow.

Thank you.

>> Be careful.

It's hot.

>> What the...?

>> It's your new machine.

>> Decaf?

>> You found the way to my

heart.

>> Vince -- Vince and I talked

it all out.

Let me just grab something from

the car real quick.

>> What is that?

>> Hey.

$4,500 in cash, plus this

beautiful car.

Better than the impala.

>> I don't -- I don't know.

I think I liked the impala

better.

>> Are you crazy?

This is a classic waiting to

happen.

Get in.

>> All our shit's in the impala.

>> It's in the trunk.

Get in.

>> Feel that?

>> It's ugly.

>> It's like you're on your

favorite sofa, you know?

You're gonna fall asleep in

seconds.

You'll enjoy it.

Milo, stop filming me and get in

the fucking car.

>> Hey, hermes.

I think we're even, bro.

>> You think you've got up on

me, "d," don't you?

>> See you next week.

>> Just a minor malfunction.

She hums like a kitten.

Get in, Milo.

>> I think Bella's got to drive,

though.

>> Why's that?

>> Isn't this her car?

Borrow?

You didn't borrow shit, Leo.

You stole Daphne's husband's car

and took it to a chop shop.

>> It's not a chop shop.

It's a parts place.

Who do you work for, the FBI,

the CIA, the IRS?

>> How do you expect to stay

out of prison if you're going

around stealing Israeli arms

dealers' cars and selling them

at fucking chop shops?

What did you do with the money

from the maybach?

>> I spent it.

>> I can't believe you only got

$3,500 and this car for my

impala, which you said was worth

$20,000.

>> You're not gonna get

blue book prices at a parts

place.

And this is a beautiful car,

Bella.

La-la-la.

>> Leo, where are we gonna get

the rest of the money?

>> First, let me pay my debt to

Bella.

I owe her, uh...$800?

Hold on.

$20, $40, $60, $80...

That's $100 for my debt to

Bella.

>> Just stop.

Just keep your money.

Consider it my donation to the

"keep Leo out of prison" fund.

>> Are you sure?

>> Yeah.

I don't want to waste the next

couple hours trying to make that

$800 back.

>> You married a Saint.

>> We're not married.

I keep telling you that.

>> Whatever you guys are, she's

a Saint.

Are you guys hungry?

>> No.

>> Yes.

I'm starving.

That's what you can do.

You can buy me lunch.

>> This place has the best

octopus dumplings on earth.

Better than in China, I swear.

>> China.

This is a vietnamese restaurant.

>> It's both.

It's a hybrid.

Could you bring us some

arctic-surf clams with

sesame-chili oil, crispy,

deep-fried pork intestines,

deep-fried duck tongue with

spicy salt, half a dozen

hundred-year-old eggs...

Pan-fried sea cucumber with

supreme gravy, one order of

chicken feet.

I always like to do, like, an

experiment.

Su gong in hot pot with rice

noodles.

You guys want anything?

>> Leo, we don't have time --

>> hold that thought.

I got to hit the head.

>> Leo, we don't have time.

>> Bella, you hang on.

>> Can I just get some noodles

or something?

>> Oh, I think we're good.

Thanks.

>> I can't believe he ordered

all this food.

>> Do you think he's okay?

He's been in there a while,

like 20 minutes.

>> As soon as he gets back,

we're gonna drop him off, we're

gonna go to the airport, we're

gonna fly to San Francisco, and

we'll be there in time to do our

interviews this afternoon.

>> I cancelled the interviews.

>> You did what?

>> I cancelled the interviews.

Hours ago.

>> Why would you do that?

>> Because we were never gonna

make it, and I should have known

that this morning at 5:00 A.M.

When I agreed to do this.

And you should have known it

because you know what your

brother's like.

You knew we were never gonna

make this happen.

You knew we were never gonna be

able to come down here, swoop

him into rehab, and drive back

up there in time.

This is our mission now, okay?

We're gonna --

>> Leo, what is your plan?

What do you want to do?

>> Milo, come on.

You've been pretty chill all

day.

Why the sudden bout of anxiety?

>> Bella, you have to try the

hundred-year-old egg.

Yeah.

It's fermented in straw and

horse urine for like six months.

It is wonderfully, wonderfully

perverse.

>> A little too perverse for me.

No, thanks.

>> Come on, live a little.

Bella?

>> It smells like ass.

>> I dare you, Bella.

>> Bella, what are you doing?

You're vegan.

>> She's living life.

>>

>> I can't believe you're eating

that.

>> Oh, my god.

>> It's good, right?

>> Not as bad as you would

think.

>> A world without 100-year-old

eggs is not worth living in.

That and truffles found by dogs

and imported from Italy.

>> I think pigs find truffles.

>> The best are found by dogs.

>> I want to try something else.

>> All right.

How about the chicken feet?

If I could, I'd weigh 600

pounds.

I used to weigh 220, until I

started using again.

>> What?

>> Yeah.

>> You?

I don't believe it.

>> I lost 60 pounds in 3 months.

>> What's your secret?

>> I could put you on the diet,

but I don't think you'd be

happy.

>> Not likely.

>> Yeah, you don't want the diet

that he's on.

>> Pay the check.

Meet me around back.

I may have solved our money

problems.

>> What the fuck?

I knew there was something up

with this place.

That's disgusting.

>> Our worries are over.

>> You stole a dog now?

>> I bought him, 100% legal.

Rescued him from an uncertain

fate as a lo-mein side dish.

>>

>> you did what?

>> It's just $500.

Relax.

Taco's a champion english

bulldog.

He was trained in Germany.

He's a police dog.

We'll get $2,000 for him, easy.

Watch.

Taco, platz.

Platz.

Taco, platz.

No, he doesn't feel like

platzing.

>> Okay, come on, taco.

Inside, inside.

Come on, taco.

>> Here we go.

>> Inside.

>> Here we go.

>> Come on.

>> I can't believe you bought

a fucking dog.

>> I think he's cute.

>> Oh, my god.

He just slobbered all over my

camera.

>> Oh, no.

>> Oh, fuck.

>> He sneezed.

>> Bella, take a left.

What time is it?

>> It's like 12 something.

>> Perfect.

>> What do you mean, "perfect"?

>> Just take a right right here,

Bella.

>> What's going on?

>> These are my boys.

>> Jesus Christ.

>> One of them will buy the dog

for sure.

Just pull into the gas station.

>> Jesus Christ.

What the fuck?

>> What's up, brother?

>> You guys, pull in over there.

>> ¿Qué hubo?

¿Qué pasa, loco?

>> Nada, homes.

>> Oh, what's up with the

camera, man?

New reality TV show?

>> Don't mind him.

Don't mind him.

I have this dog.

His name is Ducati.

He's born in Italy like me,

trained in Germany.

He's like a $6,000 police dog.

>> Police dog?

>> Yeah.

You better watch out.

Listen.

I'm in a little bit of a

situation, so I'm willing to let

him go for like two.

>> $200?

>> 2 stack.

>> Damn.

I'll give you two bills right

now, ese.

>> Can't do it, big homey.

Hey, where's dizzy at?

>> Dizzy?

He's over there.

>> Hold taco a sec.

>> Taco?

>> Ducati.

His nickname's taco.

Just watch him, all right?

>> Sure.

>> Who's that crazy guy?

Does he really think someone's

gonna want to buy that dog for

$2,000?

>> Poor dog's gonna die of heat

exhaustion.

>> Can you give me the money?

We're not gonna have anything

left at the rate you're spending

it.

>> What, you don't trust me?

>> It's not that.

It's just that we both saw you

give that guy dizzy money.

>> I owed him.

It's just $20.

Relax.

>> And then you went into the

bathroom...

>> To shit.

You don't know what it's like

trying to come off drugs.

I had the runs, you know?

Damn.

>> Oh.

>> You're such a pushover.

>> Who, me?

>> Yeah.

"Oh...oh, okay."

>> Take a left right up here.

>> What about bill?

Does he still live in venice?

>> You read my mind.

>> Who's bill?

Does he want to buy a dog?

>> Bill is a very rich, very

eccentric family friend.

>> * love a million more

* time is the only cure

>> Leo, are you gonna ask him?

>> No, you ask him.

I'm not gonna ask him.

>> All right.

Where the fuck is he?

Oh, there you are, bill.

>> Oh, hey, Milo.

>> How are you?

Hope you don't mind the camera.

>> No, I'm used to it.

I-i wouldn't know you without

it.

>> So, um, what are you working

on?

>> I'm looking at these little

mini-handcuffs here, and I was

wondering if I could make some

thumb-cuff kind of jewelry, you

know?

Just not sure how to -- you

know, you can't really put them

like that 'cause you can't do

stuff.

>> I don't know if you've seen

much of Leo lately, but he's

developed a bit of a drug

problem.

>> Well, you know, life's been a

little easier for you and a

little harder on Leo.

I feel an affinity with Leo, and

i-i also understand, you know,

what it is to deal with a --

with a drug problem.

I've got a lot of friends that,

you know, just ain't here

anymore.

A little miscalculation here, a

little error there.

It's not like doing some big,

noble deed to help someone, but

you know that if you don't,

then, you know, he could be

dead.

>> Leo got himself into a little

trouble, so we've come to ask

you for a little loan.

>> Sure, no problem.

$5, $10

>> we got to get him into rehab,

and we need $2,500.

>> Well, fuck him.

>> hey, Carmen!

Just tie him up.

>> Aah!

Baby, come here.

Oh.

Oh. oh, my god.

Oh, Frederico said you got

arrested, that it was serious.

>> Serious is what's gonna

happen to Frederico if he keeps

telling people my business.

>> Leo, I'm not other people.

When did you get out?

>> I escaped.

Don't tell anyone.

>>

>> oh, this is my brother, Milo.

>> Camera crew following you.

>> Hi.

Hi, hi. I'm Milo.

>> This is his wife, Bella.

>> Hi. partner, actually.

>> Hi. Carmen.

>> Nice to meet you.

>> Partner, actually.

>> Come in.

>> God, these paintings are

amazing.

>> Thanks.

>> You did all these?

Wow!

>> I'm about to have my first

one-woman show.

>> Oh, that's so cool.

>> So, Brad's not gonna be home

for a couple of hours, so make

yourselves at home.

>> So, who's Brad?

>> Brad's her boyfriend.

I've never met him.

And I'm not jealous.

I've been trying to get her to

run away with me to

inner Mongolia.

I'd wear, like, a black suit

with red trim.

She'd wear a red veil.

There'd be little ponies

everywhere.

I'm totally "twitter-pated,"

can't you tell?

>> "twitter

>> ain't you ever seen "bambi"?

>>

bye.

>> Hello?

Yes, this is she.

Can you hear me?

Yeah, I don't -- hold on one

second, please.

Hi.

Yeah, hold on.

>> What's up, guys?

>> Milo, how about a little bit

of privacy?

Jesus.

>> I'm sorry. Sorry.

There you are.

Leo, get dressed.

We got to go.

Let's go. Come on.

>> Oh, okay.

Well, Carmen, it was so nice to

meet you.

Thank you for everything.

>> Listen, Leo told me about the

little money problem you guys

are having.

>> Yeah.

>> I think I can help.

>> Really?

>>

>> I need a shave.

>> We're not gonna smoke it.

We sell it.

We break it up into four

quarters and sell it for about

$1,250 a pop.

>> Yeah, that adds up to $5,000

and it turns us into total drug

traffickers.

>> It sounds worse than it is,

but it's how I paid my way

through art school.

>> Really?

>> It's only pot.

It's practically legal in

California, anyway.

>> Wait.

Let's just figure out if this

is our only option.

>> No, it's not legal.

It's not legal.

I mean, even if we had a

doctor's note, it wouldn't cover

us for transporting a pound of

marijuana.

This is insane.

>> We do a drug deal, get me

into rehab, and then the student

becomes a teacher.

>> Listen, I have this lawyer

friend up north who got this guy

off for having 150 plants, and,

to top it off, at the end, the

government gave him his plants

back.

>> Can I have his number?

>> It's a she.

See, men get into trouble, women

get them out.

Sound a little familiar?

>> Can I have her number?

I think I might need a new

lawyer.

Listen, you guys, we can do

this.

It's only a phone call away.

I even know people who want to

buy it.

>> Let's just focus on selling

taco.

This is becoming a pain in the

ass.

>> No.

No one's gonna want to buy that

stupid dog, Leo.

Jesus.

>> It's not a stupid dog.

If I had feelings, I'd be hurt.

>> You guys, look. Listen.

I'll carry the stuff in my

purse.

If we get busted, I'll take the

responsibility.

You guys just play dumb.

>> Are you sure?

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Whatever.

You know what I think.

>> All right, I'll call him and

see what he says.

>> Are you seriously okay with

this?

>> Milo, I mean, we do our best,

and we hope for the best.

>> If we get busted, we're

completely fucked.

>> Milo.

I can't believe you're saying

this now.

At this point today, we have

driven a stolen car, sold the

stolen car, sold the stolen

Espresso machine, and let a

convicted felon buy and use

drugs.

Either we commit a crime, or we

watch Leo go to prison.

>> He's busy now, but he'll call

us back in an hour with the spot

to meet him.

>> All right.

>> We're gonna get you into

rehab.

>> Let's go swimming.

>> Swimming actually sounds like

a good idea.

>> Bella, what has gotten into

you?

>> That's why we came down here,

right, to go swimming?

>> I don't even recognize you

right now.

>> Milo, come on.

There's nothing more we can do

about our shoot today, okay?

It's fucked.

And at this point, we just have

to wait for Carmen's friend to

call, and it's hot and I have

not showered and I'm exhausted,

and, yeah, swimming actually

sounds like a good idea.

>> Leo?

>> What?

>> Let me ask you something.

Do you feel at all guilty for

getting us into this mess?

>>

let me ask you something.

When are you gonna stop living

your life like one giant fucking

documentary, huh?

>> Come on, answer me.

>> Answer you?

You're looking through a lens.

For fuck's sake, who am I

talking to, you?

>> You're talking to all of us.

You're talking to her, to her,

you're talking to the camera,

you're talking to me.

Come on, for the record. Speak.

>> I appreciate you guys came

down here -- fuck!

I do, but I didn't make you.

>> Excuse me?

>> I didn't make you guys come

down here.

>> I got to hear this.

>> It was your choice.

Face it -- the only reason why

you came down here in the first

place is you don't want to feel

guilty about not helping out

your brother, plus the fact...

>> That's the most warped

reasoning I've ever heard in my

whole life.

>> ...you still feel bad about

the time you sent me to jail.

>> I didn't send you to jail.

>> That's really why you're

here, isn't it?

>> No.

>> All right, that's the biggest

fucking piece of horse shit I've

ever heard.

I care, he cares, we're here.

God damn it, you are the most

ungrateful person I've ever met

in my entire life.

I can't believe you.

>> Ungrateful?

>> Yeah. ungrateful.

>> He doesn't really care.

>> What the fuck are you talking

about?

How can he not care?

>> Listen, he'll call my

girlfriend and say, "I'm worried

my little brother's dead," and

she'll say, "come over for

dinner.

Talk to him."

And he'll say, "ah, that's okay.

I'll call in a couple weeks."

>> I'm out of town.

>> A couple of weeks.

>> I'm out of town!

>> You're always out of town,

man.

>> What does he mean, "sent me

to jail"?

>> I didn't send him to jail.

>> The worst idea ever.

Next time...

I'll kill you.

>> What?

>> I got arrested at this motel,

and cops said, "you live over on

Laurel canyon?

Your brother sent us three days

ago."

>> It was your friend who called

saying, "your brother's gonna

die.

He's been doing speedballs for

10 days, and he's gonna die, and

if you want to live with

yourself, and you know you could

have done something to stop it,

that's up to you."

>> And what happens when I get

stabbed in jail because you

called the fucking cops?

>> Does he cop up to that, to

that phone call he made saying,

"your brother's gonna die if you

don't call the police"?

>> Why didn't he call, then?

>> He said, "I'm not his

brother -- you are."

>> Wow.

So, riddle me this, Sherlock --

what happens when I find a dirty

needle in jail and get some kind

of weird disease?

>> People don't shoot up in

jail, do they?

>> What?

>> People shoot up in jail?

>> Yeah. the whole dorm.

We all share one needle.

>> I didn't know that.

>>

what you don't know could fill

up the staples center.

>> This it?

>> This is it.

>> Come on, taco.

>> This is one of his new spots.

>> What is this?

>> It's his not-so-legal

operation.

He used to have one in

diamond bar, but there was just

way too much heat on the

operation.

>> Cops?

>> Feds.

>> Do you think he'd let me come

in there and film?

>> Um, I doubt it, but I'll ask.

>> She's so cool.

>> She's nice, huh?

>> What the hell does she see in

you?

>> I don't know.

That's a good question.

>> He said yes.

>> He did?

>> Yeah.

I can't believe your luck.

>> Carmen,

my sweet.

>> Ivan.

>> This the man with movie

camera, obviously.

I used to go to film school in

Ukraine.

Lots of fun those days.

>> Frederico probably told you

about Leo's little scrape with

the law.

>> Yeah.

>> So his lawyer --

>> rothstein.

I hooked him up with that guy.

>> Really?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

He got him into rehab.

Problem is, we're a little light

in the admission-fee area.

>> How light?

>> $2,500.

So, you see...

We were hoping you would break

us off $2,500 in pretty pussy

product...

So we can go door-to-door.

Just to raise the funds for Leo.

>> You want me to front you

$2,500 of pretty pussy?

>> No. not front.

We want the wholesale rate.

>>

>> like what you sell it to

petco for.

>> What do you guys make here?

>> Cat toys. For cats.

Toys that cats like.

Take.

>> That's a big business, huh?

>> Big business, cat toys. Take.

>> I would never ask, but you

know how I feel about Leo.

>>

give tour.

>> So, what happens in here?

>> We grow.

We clip.

And here, they finished.

>> Do you like to smoke it?

>> What do you think?

>> You like green. You match.

>> It is the color of money.

>> Got it.

>> Holy shit.

>>

>> oh, my god.

>> There's this design studio

downtown, full of ex-gang

members, graffiti artists,

editors -- great friends of

mine.

They'll want some.

>> All right, let's go.

>> * lipstick

* muscle car

* dipstick, stick shift

* cowboy bar

* eight ball

* climbing tree

* you call, I fall

* on my knees

* hot lights

>> what did you say?

>> Who feels like smoking a

fatty?

>> I do.

>>

>> aren't we risking enough,

like, carrying it?

Do we have to actually smoke it

in the car?

It's bad enough that we're

holding all this.

>> Come on, Milo.

Such a naysayer.

>> * hot night

* be careful what you ask for

* a dime's worth of wishes

>>

>> * will I ever see 'em?

>> Look at this.

>> "I believe today is gonna be

a wonderful day.

Each day better than the next.

I am always in the right place

at the right time."

I can't argue with that.

"My mind has unlimited

potential."

Very true.

>> He's down the hall.

It looks good.

>> I mean, what's with the

paparazzi and shit?

>> Oh, it's just my brother.

He's got issues.

Don't worry.

>> How are you?

>> It's like his own personal

diary.

>> All right.

>> Don't worry. Don't worry.

No one's gonna see it.

I am very impressed.

Very cool.

>> Yeah.

I'm a computer designer now.

>> Well, I'm trying to get into

rehab myself...

>> Well, this ain't it.

This isn't rehab.

You're lost.

>>

and, and, um...

I'm selling some weed to raise

funds to get into rehab.

So, you want some?

>>

I don't do drugs anymore.

>> Come on.

>> I'm three months, five days,

and two hours sober.

You're gonna love him.

Was it at the coach and hound?

Qué calor.

A ver...

You didn't sell any?!

>> No.

Dealing's a tough gig, man.

I'm not made for this shit.

>> Copping's a tough gig, lady.

>> Nobody wants to buy weed.

>> They want the harder shit.

Right, Leo?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh...

Hey, is this the, uh...

Is this the south central farm?

>> Oh, yeah.

Yeah, what's left of it.

>> I read about this.

That's it now?

>> Do you know the story?

Some developer bought the land

15 years ago, then the city took

it under eminent domain to build

a garbage-incinerator site.

The community protested and then

built the largest urban farm in

the United States.

Then the developer sued the city

to get his land back, won, and

then refused to sell it back to

the community even though they

raised $16 million to get it

back.

>>

>> people are so deceptive and

greedy.

The only thing you can do is get

as intoxicated as possible until

it's all just fucking over.

>> That's such bullshit.

You can actually do something

about it.

>> Like what?

Make movies?

>> For example, yes.

>> * seven men in a dustbin

congress, standing in a row for

a final harvest *

* there's a swinging motion to

their shadows as if the sun

above... *

>> can we drive around and shoot

this?

>> No. we're in a hurry.

>> Look at that.

They're pulling out the last

>> *...in the whirlwinds

arriving, playing games with

floating dead flowers revolving

revolving *

>> people go to the movies to be

entertained, that's it.

Nobody wants to be whipped.

People were protesting that farm

for months.

The bitch didn't eat for, like,

28 days.

>> Please don't call her

"bitch."

>> Did that make a difference?

We should have killed the

developer.

>> Violence just begets

violence.

It'll just perpetuate the cycle

of oppression and inequality.

What does that get you?

>> Yeah, that's one to grow on.

>> * but don't come to me and

cry *

* "may day"

* 'cause it doesn't work that

way *

>> what?

So, Leo, you're saying he should

have been motivated by fear?

>> Fear may be the one thing

stronger than greed.

>> * don't come to me and cry

* "may day"

* 'cause it doesn't work that

way *

>> are you all right, Leo?

>> Yeah, I'm just cold.

>> You're cold?

You're all sweaty.

>> It's freezing.

>> It's as hot as balls in here.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm melting.

>> Just hold on a little longer.

>> They got good meds in rehab.

You'll do all right.

I'm serious.

>> You're serious.

20 g's, man -- boom.

>> You always see a bunch of

guys getting all euphoric after

they fix.

Bunch of dramatic movie

bullshit.

>> What does it feel like?

>> Used to feel fucking amazing.

Imagine floating on a billion

tiny satin pillows.

And then imagine, when you

weren't that high, what used to

just feel normal now feels lower

than you've ever felt before.

It used to give me this sense of

meaning and oneness about

everything, but now I just fix

not to get sick.

I don't even get high anymore.

A little high.

>> Whoa, are you shooting your

foot?

Dude, it's all infected.

What are you doing?

Well, I can't watch.

That makes me nauseous.

You get nauseous when you see a

paper cut.

We can still -- we'll figure

something out.

We'll get you to rehab.

It's a last-ditch effort.

We got to get rid of this weed.

Just follow my lead, okay?

>> Carmen gave you the weed?

* for the road is long ahead

* I'll be with you even though

we're apart *

* but your road is yours to

tread *

* and so it goes

* and so it goes

* and so it goes

* slows your mind, mind, mind

* so it goes

* and so it goes

*and so it goes

* slows your mind, mind, mind,

mind, mind *
