00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:30,143
And, uh... and, uh, I just want
to say sorry for the other day.
175
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:31,612
I was out of hand.
176
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,182
I'm afraid I have bad news.
177
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:37,885
The financial question
brought your scholarship
178
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:39,720
to the attention
of our committee,
179
00:08:39,753 --> 00:08:41,855
and they're putting
it up for review.
180
00:08:43,123 --> 00:08:45,058
Up for review?
181
00:08:45,092 --> 00:08:46,694
What does that mean, sir?
182
00:08:46,727 --> 00:08:48,562
The Reagan Administration
budget cuts
183
00:08:48,596 --> 00:08:52,532
have thrown a number of aid
situations into uncertainty.
184
00:08:54,935 --> 00:08:57,337
Including mine, all of a sudden.
185
00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:00,073
They'll review your aid
package as soon as they can,
186
00:09:00,107 --> 00:09:02,109
but unless you have
the $7,800 you owe,
187
00:09:02,142 --> 00:09:03,543
you'll need to move
out immediately.
188
00:09:03,577 --> 00:09:05,412
What? You're kicking
me out right now?
189
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:07,080
Well,
it wouldn't be fair to the kids
190
00:09:07,114 --> 00:09:08,448
who are actually
paying their way
191
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,517
if we let you stay for
nothing, would it?
192
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:11,919
Nah, fuck that!
193
00:09:11,952 --> 00:09:14,121
You got somebody
else I could talk to?
194
00:09:14,154 --> 00:09:16,123
You got a supervisor
or something?
195
00:09:16,156 --> 00:09:17,925
- No, afraid I don't.
- Huh?!
196
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:19,936
'Cause this motherfucker's
obviously not listening.
197
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,963
- They'll review your aid package as
soon as they can. - Huh? Fuck that.
198
00:09:22,996 --> 00:09:24,898
It's already too late
to drop these classes.
199
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:27,635
I don't finish them,
they'll be F's on my record.
200
00:09:27,668 --> 00:09:29,703
You know that.
You understand that, right?
201
00:09:29,737 --> 00:09:31,772
Yeah, that is a shame.
202
00:09:31,805 --> 00:09:34,274
A shame?
203
00:09:34,307 --> 00:09:38,145
This is my life, man.
204
00:09:38,178 --> 00:09:41,414
Don't you know how hard
I worked to get here?
205
00:09:41,448 --> 00:09:45,986
You pulled yourself up once,
I'm sure you can do it again.
206
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:47,721
But if I were you,
207
00:09:47,755 --> 00:09:51,358
I might reconsider my
attitude moving forward.
208
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:58,799
My attitude.
209
00:09:58,832 --> 00:10:01,101

- Have you lost your mind?
- Maybe I did in that moment, yeah.
235

been that angry before.

So, yeah.
238
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:55,715
Can't go back.
239
00:11:55,749 --> 00:11:58,151
Even if the scholarship
goes through.
240
00:12:03,924 --> 00:12:05,926
Hey. You'll be okay.

(chuckles) How about you hit
us with some of them equations?
249
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:34,387
Nah, nah, nah.
Hook up some of them stock tips.
250
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,056
- I'm trying to invest, boy.
- (laughter)
251

No problem.
252
00:12:37,624 --> 00:12:39,659
- My commission's 20%, though.
- (laughs)
253
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:42,395
- 20%? Wow. - 20%.
Go ahead, give it to him, man.
254
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:46,599

- 20% of 20%. How about that?

JEROME: Oh,
it sounds like a scam to me!

Pay $200 to find out what
type of kid you're gonna have.
257
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,407
Well, you're gonna find
out for free eventually,

- Hey, nephew!
- JEROME: College boy.
261
00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:04,184
- What up, nephew?
- FRANKLIN: Auntie, look at you, all big.
262
00:13:04,217 --> 00:13:06,653
I see they ain't teach
you how to talk to no lady
263
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:08,497
- up in that motherfucking school.
- No, they ain't teaching.
264
00:13:08,521 --> 00:13:10,690
Pregnant Hood Bitches 101.

farther along than I thought.
266

- Mm-hmm.

(chuckles) What you doing here?
268
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:20,000
You get that loan shit straight?
269
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:22,836

- Well, yeah.
270
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:24,838
So, what's up?
271
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:30,643
You know, we was gonna help
you out with that, but, uh,

It's fine, Unc. For real.

- I put a gun to the boy head?

It's okay, Unc. It's fine.

ain't at that school?

Thought for sure you
wasn't ever coming back.
407
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:25,958
(clicks tongue) I got fucked.
408
00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:31,030

409
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,032
I don't know.
410
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:35,768

there's a better way.

Hey, I'm Teddy McDonald.
418
00:21:15,141 --> 00:21:18,678
Y-You came to a presentation
I gave at Claremont.
419
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:25,585
You're the recruiter?
420
00:21:25,618 --> 00:21:26,986
Yeah. (chuckles)
421
00:21:27,019 --> 00:21:28,631
Sorry to just show up like this.
(clears throat)
422
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,957
I was wondering if maybe you
had a few minutes to talk.
423
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:42,402
Great.
424
00:21:44,871 --> 00:21:46,773
It's just you and your mom?
425
00:21:46,806 --> 00:21:49,376
Uh-huh.
426
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:53,446
- Your dad?
- Uh...
427
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,349
He'd been living on the
streets a long time.
428
00:21:56,383 --> 00:21:59,386
Cops gave him a beating a few years back.
He didn't make it.
429
00:22:04,691 --> 00:22:06,669
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- Look, I don't mean to be rude,
430
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:09,061
- but, uh, what...
- What the hell am I doing here?
431
00:22:09,095 --> 00:22:10,697
(chuckles): Yeah, yeah.
432
00:22:10,730 --> 00:22:12,665
(chuckles)
433
00:22:12,699 --> 00:22:14,300
I came to see if the CIA
434
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,268
might be the right
career path for you.
435
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:19,539
I'm sorry, what? (chuckles)
436
00:22:19,572 --> 00:22:23,042
The... the CIA?
437
00:22:24,276 --> 00:22:26,746
You came here to hire me?
438
00:22:26,779 --> 00:22:30,883
Well, um, I mean, you'd have to
finish school first, of course.
439
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:33,019
And then you would go
through our process.
440
00:22:33,052 --> 00:22:36,489
Exams, interviews, background
checks, there's a polygraph.
441
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:38,290
You know, it's not easy, but...
442
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:41,761
from what I hear,
you can handle it.
443
00:22:42,795 --> 00:22:44,864
And what did you hear?
444
00:22:44,897 --> 00:22:48,435
3.9 GPA, double major
445
00:22:48,468 --> 00:22:51,170
political science, economics.
446
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:52,739
1540 on your SATs.
447
00:22:52,772 --> 00:22:55,942
Your professors speak
glowingly about your work ethic
448
00:22:55,975 --> 00:22:58,277
and your critical thinking.
449
00:22:58,310 --> 00:23:01,581
And you've shown an acute
ability to move easily
450
00:23:01,614 --> 00:23:03,249
between worlds.
451
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:06,686
I should add that
diversity has become
452
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:08,755
increasingly important
to the Agency.
453
00:23:08,788 --> 00:23:11,858
You see,
to meet ever more complex goals
454
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:14,494
going forward,
we have to broaden our perspectives.
455
00:23:15,562 --> 00:23:17,296
You seem surprised.
456
00:23:17,329 --> 00:23:21,200
(chuckles) I just
never thought about
457
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:23,903
- working for the government.
- Really?
458
00:23:26,606 --> 00:23:30,276
D-Do you mind if I ask why?
459
00:23:30,309 --> 00:23:33,713
You know, the...
the government never cared about me.
460
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:37,183
So, why help them?
461
00:23:39,285 --> 00:23:41,488
This kind of work's
not for everyone.
462
00:23:45,157 --> 00:23:47,760
Why do you do it?
463
00:23:47,794 --> 00:23:49,428
- Tradition.
- Mm.
464
00:23:49,462 --> 00:23:52,131
Duty.
465
00:23:52,164 --> 00:23:56,736
And I believe in America.
Its mission.
466
00:23:56,769 --> 00:24:00,840
You know, they recruited me at
Yale, 'cause, uh,
467
00:24:00,873 --> 00:24:02,975
I was the best
and the brightest.
468
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:05,578
Like you.
469
00:24:05,612 --> 00:24:08,748
Well, you know,
e-even if I was interested,
470
00:24:08,781 --> 00:24:11,017
there's a problem...
471
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:13,986
with school.
472
00:24:14,020 --> 00:24:16,489
A problem like you assaulting
the financial aid officer?
473
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:21,360
Rumor has it that
Alexander Hamilton punched
474
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:24,631
- a bursar at Princeton.
- (chuckling): For real?
475
00:24:24,664 --> 00:24:26,365
Man. Wow.
476
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:28,735
You know, we're not looking
for spotless backgrounds.
477
00:24:29,802 --> 00:24:32,471
We're looking for
people with backbones.
478
00:24:32,505 --> 00:24:36,442
And if you're concerned about
getting back into school,
479
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:39,311
consider that taken care of.
480
00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:43,883
Anyway, uh, I'm gonna be in L.A.
for a few more weeks,
481
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:45,284
but then I'm gonna
be back in D.C.
482
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:47,787
After that, uh,
if you're interested,
483
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,698
give this number a call.
They'll put us in touch.
484
00:24:49,722 --> 00:24:51,691
Theodore McDonald. (chuckles)
485
00:25:01,868 --> 00:25:03,570
- Have a good one.
- Yeah.
486
00:25:03,603 --> 00:25:05,672
- You be safe out there.
- Sure thing.
487
00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:14,681

00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:18,517
Thank you.
489
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:26,492
Oh, my bad. Go right ahead.

491
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:30,229
Cute-ass couple.
492
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:35,602
- What's going on, little homey?
- What's up, man?
493
00:25:35,635 --> 00:25:36,936
Ain't nothing.
494
00:25:36,969 --> 00:25:40,873
Let me, uh,
get this box of Apple Smacks
495
00:25:40,907 --> 00:25:45,044
and, uh...
oh, shit, them yellow flip-flops.
496
00:25:45,077 --> 00:25:47,246
- Yeah, let me get a pair.
- All right, man.
497
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,548
- Hey, size 13.
- (exhales)
498
00:25:49,582 --> 00:25:51,250
We ain't got no 13s.
499
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:54,587
Damn, that's all good.
Hey, check this out, though.
500
00:25:54,621 --> 00:25:56,555
I guess I'll take all the
money in the register.
501
00:25:56,589 --> 00:25:59,191
Let's go, nigga.
This your first time being robbed?
502
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:01,728
- Move! Get that money.
- (cash register rings)
503
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:04,463
Let's go, man,
hurry your ass up!
504
00:26:04,496 --> 00:26:06,532
Nervous nigga
knocking shit down.
505
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:10,036
Man, hell nah, this ain't all you got.
Go back, man.
506
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:11,537
Take all the money out.
507
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:14,641
Hell wrong with you, man? Shit.
508
00:26:14,674 --> 00:26:18,444
Do with these coins, nigga?
I ain't riding the bus.
509
00:26:18,477 --> 00:26:20,713
Matter of fact,
run that money in your pocket, too.
510
00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:23,650
Shit. Let's go, nigga!
511
00:26:23,683 --> 00:26:24,951
Shit.
512
00:26:24,984 --> 00:26:27,486
Two dollars?
513
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:28,988
Shit. Broke-ass nigga, man.
514
00:26:29,021 --> 00:26:31,557
Man, just-just take it and go.
515
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,092
The fuck you say to me?
516
00:26:33,125 --> 00:26:36,395
- What, you trying to tell me what to do?
- No.
517
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:39,231
- Oh, you think you're my boss, huh?
- No.
518
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:41,734
- No.

519
00:26:41,768 --> 00:26:44,170
I'll take your fucking life
right now if I want to.
520
00:26:44,203 --> 00:26:46,605
Matter of fact.
521
00:26:46,639 --> 00:26:48,941
Hey, say you're my bitch.
522
00:26:48,975 --> 00:26:50,677
What?
523
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:51,954
Say it, nigga,
right fucking now!
524
00:26:51,978 --> 00:26:53,545
I'm-I'm your bitch.

(Franklin panting)
526
00:26:57,717 --> 00:27:00,653
Now say you're my fucking bitch.
527
00:27:00,687 --> 00:27:02,454
I'm your bitch, man.
528
00:27:02,488 --> 00:27:04,256
I'm your bitch.
529
00:27:04,290 --> 00:27:06,192
Trying to lose your
goddamn life tonight?
530
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:08,761
- Ass end up on the news, nigga.

00:28:22,902 --> 00:28:25,671
Saw the suspect with
the gun in his hand.
548

He fired a shot at me.
549
00:28:26,773 --> 00:28:29,708
I ducked, fired three shots...
550
00:28:43,722 --> 00:28:45,524
- Excuse us.
- CISSY: Franklin?
551
00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:47,293
- Ma'am.
- Sorry.
552
00:28:47,326 --> 00:28:48,694
- Ma-Ma'am.
- Franklin.
553
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,729
Oh, my God.
554
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:56,102
- Are you okay?
- Mm-hmm.
555
00:28:56,135 --> 00:28:59,105
God. Come on.
556
00:28:59,138 --> 00:29:01,140
Let's get you out of here.
557
00:29:03,342 --> 00:29:05,344
FRANKLIN: Thank you.
558
00:29:19,325 --> 00:29:21,060
CISSY: That's it.
559
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:22,995
You're going back
to school somewhere.
560
00:29:23,029 --> 00:29:25,031
I will find the money.
561
00:29:26,833 --> 00:29:30,002
FRANKLIN: I'm not going
back to that world.
562
00:29:31,037 --> 00:29:33,739
I don't belong there.
563
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:36,775
You don't belong here,
either, Franklin.
564
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:41,780
You're too big for this place.
565
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:46,953
FRANKLIN: I don't know what to
do, Mama.
566
00:29:55,962 --> 00:29:58,730
CISSY: You know,
I've had this conversation before.
567
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,968
With your father.
568
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:06,772
He felt the same way.
569
00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:10,943
Betrayed by the
Panthers, by his country.
570
00:30:10,977 --> 00:30:14,046
A man without a
place in this world.
571
00:30:18,350 --> 00:30:20,319
But he let them win.
572
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:24,123
He gave up.
573
00:30:24,156 --> 00:30:26,959
Mm-mm.
574
00:30:26,993 --> 00:30:29,195
You don't have to know how,
575
00:30:29,228 --> 00:30:31,163
but you have to keep going.
576
00:30:31,197 --> 00:30:32,798
You can do anything you want.
577
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:34,800
Reapply for a scholarship
578
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,802
to an all-black college
and finish school.
579
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,670
Or go back to that...
580
00:30:38,704 --> 00:30:39,705
You have to keep going...
581
00:30:39,738 --> 00:30:41,540
And refuse to leave
582
00:30:41,573 --> 00:30:42,641
until they give you a job.
583
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:43,886
You can do anything you want...
584
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:46,879
Use them to learn the
system, pass the exams...
585
00:30:46,913 --> 00:30:48,414
You have to keep going...
586
00:30:48,447 --> 00:30:49,724
and then come back
to South Central
587
00:30:49,748 --> 00:30:50,716
and open your own firm.
588
00:30:50,749 --> 00:30:52,351
You can do anything you want.
589
00:30:52,384 --> 00:30:54,987
Your ancestors suffered horrors
590
00:30:55,021 --> 00:30:57,756
beyond imagining to give
you this opportunity.
591
00:30:57,789 --> 00:30:59,091
You have to keep going...
592
00:30:59,125 --> 00:31:00,702
I've done all I can.
You can do anything you want.
593
00:31:00,726 --> 00:31:03,095
There is grace for
those who seek it.
594
00:31:03,129 --> 00:31:05,597
I believe it in my heart.
595
00:31:05,631 --> 00:31:08,534
You will be all right, Franklin.

00:31:08,567 --> 00:31:12,871

TOM BROKAW: There are
more than 400 youth gangs
632
00:35:05,804 --> 00:35:07,939
in Los Angeles,
and these days it doesn't take much
633
00:35:07,973 --> 00:35:09,275
to start a gang war.
634
00:35:09,308 --> 00:35:11,743
Just over the weekend,
seven people were killed
635
00:35:11,777 --> 00:35:13,445
in three separate attacks.
636
00:35:13,479 --> 00:35:15,257
Police say that extra
security during the Olympics
637
00:35:15,281 --> 00:35:16,815
kept the lid on at that time.
638
00:35:16,848 --> 00:35:18,250
Now they believe gang members
639
00:35:18,284 --> 00:35:19,618
may be settling
a lot of old s...
640
00:35:19,651 --> 00:35:21,653
You don't need to
be watching this.

Your, uh, dad and I are
gonna step out for a bit.

00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:37,669
Okay?
645
00:35:38,904 --> 00:35:42,541
- Need anything?
- Nah, I'm good.
646
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:46,011
All right.
647
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:06,932
Thank you for coming.
648
00:36:11,603 --> 00:36:13,405
We in trouble.
649
00:36:13,439 --> 00:36:17,142
Okay? Drifting. Profits is down.
650
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:19,144
Violence is rising.
The gangs at war.
651
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:23,048
This entire business is about
to spin out of control...
652
00:36:23,081 --> 00:36:26,051
No.
653
00:36:26,084 --> 00:36:28,587
- JEROME: Cissy...
- He is not ready.
654
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:30,689
LOUIE: You need to let
him make that choice.
655
00:36:30,722 --> 00:36:32,658
(scoffs) I most
certainly do not.
656
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,193
He started this shit.
657
00:36:37,529 --> 00:36:39,498
And it almost killed him.
658
00:36:39,531 --> 00:36:41,600
Three minutes he
was on that table.
659
00:36:41,633 --> 00:36:43,835
- His heart stopped.
- I was there. We all was there.
660
00:36:43,869 --> 00:36:46,872
Then how dare you ask
me to push him back in?
661
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:59,084
If he ever does come
back, it'll be when we...
662
00:36:59,117 --> 00:37:01,753
- Oh, get the fuck out of here.
- Decide that he's able.
663
00:37:01,787 --> 00:37:03,798
- Decide what? - And if y'all can't
manage this shit without him...
664
00:37:03,822 --> 00:37:05,357
Then what?
665
00:37:05,391 --> 00:37:07,759
Then you should have the
good sense to walk away
666
00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:10,862
before somebody else
dies up in this piece.
667
00:37:10,896 --> 00:37:13,808
- Woman, you know you're in the goddamn drug
game now, right? - LOUIE: You know that?
668
00:37:13,832 --> 00:37:16,411
- Do you know that? - Why don't you go
have a fucking kid before you got...
669
00:37:16,435 --> 00:37:18,813
Oh, shut the fuck up with the
goddamn kid shit! You don't make
670
00:37:18,837 --> 00:37:21,148
- no fucking decisions... - You don't
motherfucking get to make this decision!
671
00:37:21,172 --> 00:37:23,918
- You know you're a fucking drug dealer
now, right? - He's my motherfucking son!
672
00:37:23,942 --> 00:37:26,712
- This is my shit!
- I don't give a fuck what you say!
673
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:28,456
- CISSY: That's my goddamn son!
- ALTON: This is my wife, Jerome.
674
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,949
- You understand me?
- Franklin!
675
00:37:32,784 --> 00:37:35,854
Fucking hardheaded.
676
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:45,063
It's okay, Mama.
677
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:47,265
Huh?
678
00:37:49,134 --> 00:37:52,037
All right. I'm here.
679
00:37:54,306 --> 00:37:56,975
Talk to me.
680
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:59,811
CISSY: I still don't
understand why.
681
00:37:59,845 --> 00:38:03,615
We have the money, we can leave.
682
00:38:03,649 --> 00:38:05,250
All of us.
683
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,285
Start a life somewhere else.
684
00:38:09,321 --> 00:38:11,990
I didn't build all of this
just to make a bunch of money
685
00:38:12,023 --> 00:38:14,826
and leave, abandon our people.
686
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:17,262
You telling me this is
still about our people?
687
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,431
Have you taken a look about
what's going on out there?
688
00:38:19,465 --> 00:38:22,434
I have. And that's exactly
why I can't leave now.
689
00:38:22,468 --> 00:38:23,945
ALTON: You can't
control what happens,
690
00:38:23,969 --> 00:38:25,471
Franklin.
691
00:38:25,504 --> 00:38:28,173
- You can't stop what's coming.
- Maybe, maybe not.
692
00:38:28,206 --> 00:38:33,845
But what I know for sure
is, if we bail,
693
00:38:33,879 --> 00:38:36,815
there'll be chaos.
694
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:40,151
We'll leave a vacuum, for sure.
695
00:38:40,185 --> 00:38:44,856
Gangs battling over
control and territory.
696
00:38:44,890 --> 00:38:47,459
And an entire fucking
community in ruins.
697
00:38:47,493 --> 00:38:49,227
Is that what you want?
698
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:51,329
You still haven't fully healed.
699
00:38:51,363 --> 00:38:53,365
(exhales)
700
00:39:02,608 --> 00:39:05,076
(ragged exhale)
701
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:07,913
I've healed enough.
702
00:39:08,947 --> 00:39:12,684
And I have to stay and fight.
703
00:39:12,718 --> 00:39:14,720
I'm sorry.
704
00:39:21,927 --> 00:39:24,530
I got to...
705
00:39:24,563 --> 00:39:28,033
got to go take
care of something.
706
00:39:30,068 --> 00:39:32,070
I love you.
707
00:39:51,289 --> 00:39:53,291
(engine shuts off)
708
00:39:57,463 --> 00:39:59,431
Ah.
709
00:39:59,465 --> 00:40:02,133
You are a sight for sore eyes.
(chuckles)
710
00:40:02,167 --> 00:40:04,369
Ain't I glad to see you.
711
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:07,739
(train horn blows)
712
00:40:07,773 --> 00:40:10,375
- You look good.
- Ah.
713
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,744
Look like I'm
hurting, which I am.
714
00:40:16,181 --> 00:40:17,983
But I've subscribed
to the notion
715
00:40:18,016 --> 00:40:20,986
that whatever doesn't
kill us simply makes us...
716
00:40:22,287 --> 00:40:24,890
- Stronger.
- Sharper.
717
00:40:24,923 --> 00:40:26,492
Sharper.
718
00:40:28,293 --> 00:40:31,362
Did you know that L.A.
used to suffer from serious floods?
719
00:40:33,532 --> 00:40:36,267
TEDDY: Yeah,
I think I heard that at some point.
720
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:37,912
FRANKLIN: You know,
they tried building dams,
721
00:40:37,936 --> 00:40:39,938
but that didn't solve it.
722
00:40:39,971 --> 00:40:43,408
So after a couple disastrous
floods in the '30s,
723
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:46,478
L.A. reached out to
the federal government.
724
00:40:47,713 --> 00:40:49,848
And they brought in the
Army Corps of Engineers,
725
00:40:49,881 --> 00:40:53,685
and in 20 years they built
and designed the L.A. River,
726
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,156
a 50-mile waterway that
saved the City of Angels.
727
00:41:04,229 --> 00:41:07,633
I was right about this rock.
728
00:41:07,666 --> 00:41:11,637
We're making more money than
we ever could've dreamed of.
729
00:41:11,670 --> 00:41:15,641
What I was wrong
about was the cost.
730
00:41:16,675 --> 00:41:19,645
Lives are gonna be destroyed.
731
00:41:19,678 --> 00:41:23,782
Ain't a thing I can do about
that now except to keep going,
732
00:41:23,815 --> 00:41:27,218
keep things under control as best I
can, you know?
733
00:41:31,022 --> 00:41:33,424
Yeah, how do you do that?
734
00:41:36,194 --> 00:41:38,396
I bring in the
federal government.
735
00:41:40,265 --> 00:41:44,069
I'll identify anybody who
poses a threat to stability,
736
00:41:44,102 --> 00:41:46,972
and you'll help
me take 'em down.
737
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:50,208
That's how we keep
the violence at bay,
738
00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:53,211
stay out the papers so we
can make that paper. Huh?
739
00:41:53,244 --> 00:41:54,846
(chuckles)
740
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,583
Why would I help you do that?
741
00:41:57,616 --> 00:41:59,250
Well, because...
742
00:42:01,753 --> 00:42:05,456
the CIA wants me to keep
flowing money here, Reed.
743
00:42:08,694 --> 00:42:14,032
Or James Smith or Thomas Parker
or whatever your name is.
744
00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:19,170
You can destroy me any time you
want, I get it.
745
00:42:19,204 --> 00:42:24,442
But you see, the thing is,
I'm not afraid of dying anymore.
746
00:42:25,644 --> 00:42:28,413
Not even so much
afraid of prison.
747
00:42:28,446 --> 00:42:31,416
But what I will not be
748
00:42:31,449 --> 00:42:35,186
is a slave... to anyone.
749
00:42:35,220 --> 00:42:37,222
Even you.
750
00:42:41,092 --> 00:42:43,629
Remember McDonald's?
751
00:42:43,662 --> 00:42:45,463
Thousand keys a week?
752
00:42:45,496 --> 00:42:47,532
Oh, yeah.
753
00:42:47,565 --> 00:42:49,134
I'll make you so
much fucking money,
754
00:42:49,167 --> 00:42:51,536
you'll be able to fund
that war all by yourself.
755
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:55,040
They're gonna name a wing at the
CIA headquarters after your ass.
756
00:42:55,073 --> 00:42:57,643
Real American hero shit.
757
00:42:57,676 --> 00:43:01,246
And in return, you'll make sure
that me and mine are protected.
758
00:43:01,279 --> 00:43:03,414
And at the end of
this, the both of us
759
00:43:03,448 --> 00:43:06,317
are gonna ride off
into the sunset.
760

("Law of the Land" by
The Temptations playing)
761
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:14,259
You said you'd be here
with me until the end.
