DMZ (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Advent - full transcript
OK, SHE'S SHOWING
YOU HER BROAD SIDE.
HEART'S JUST BEHIND
THE NEAREST SHOULDER.
THAT'S THE CLEANEST
KILL SHOT POSSIBLE,
BUT YOU'RE AIMING TOO FAR LEFT.
AIM RIGHT.
THAT'S IT. A LITTLE
BIT FARTHER. STEADY.
A LITTLE MORE.
THERE.
OK. DEEP BREATH.
BRACE FOR THE RECOIL.
AND...
SQUEEZE.
DAMN GOOD.
LOOK AT US.
THREE YEARS AGO, WE
STARTED WITH 4 BLOCKS,
AND WE'D SHOOT ON
SIGHT TO GUARD IT.
NOW WE GOT OPENED UP ROADS,
CREW AFFILIATIONS,
FREE TRADE.
THAT STARTED WITH YOU.
HA HA! OH, MY...
YOU TRYING TO GET
ME GOING HERE, HUH?
HUH?
IT'S WORKING.
¿TÚ NO TE CANSAS?
HMM?
I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU
I'M PROUD OF YOU, FOOL.
I'M GONNA MAKE BREAKFAST.
QUEEN DOPE ON RADIO:
TODAY IS THE DAY, FRIENDS.
THE DMZ'S FIRST-EVER
DEBATE: PARCO AND WILSON,
THE TWO ICONS, THE TWO
EGOS, AND THE TWO MEN
WHO HAVE BEEN BEATING
THEIR CHESTS TO CONVINCE US
THEY DESERVE OUR VOTE.
AND THAT'S BIG, FOLKS...
BIG FOR YOU, BIG FOR ME,
AND BIG FOR ALL THE COZY-ASS
WHITE BOYS CHEWING THEIR NAILS
ON THE OUTSIDE.
SO SHOW UP TO CITY HALL TONIGHT.
LISTEN AND MAKE YOUR CHOICE.
AND NOW A LITTLE
SOMETHING TO BOUNCE TO.
PANCAKES? HOW?
FARM CO-OP GAVE ME
A SACK OF FLOUR,
SOME BUTTER AND EGGS,
EARLY CONGRATULATIONS FOR TODAY.
CAREFUL. I MIGHT
GET USED TO THIS.
BRING THAT COFFEE, GIRL.
YOU GOT TO SWEETEN THAT
UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
YEAH, BUT YOU ADDED
A LITTLE BIT TOO
MUCH SUGAR TO IT.
COME ON, NOW.
DON'T FRONT LIKE YOU
AIN'T ENJOYING IT.
I KNOW YOU LOVING IT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
LITTLE NENE?
WELL, THE KID WITH THE BAT
NEEDS TO CHOKE UP ON THE GRIP,
AND THAT PITCHER NEEDS
TO LOSE HIS SIDEARM.
HA HA.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
COME ON, BABY. NOT NOW.
WHY YOU GOT A STUPID
GRIN ON YOUR FACE?
I'M JUST ENJOYING
THE SUN IS ALL.
I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT MY POPS.
- ABOUT WHAT?
- NAH, NOTHING.
JUST HOW WHEN HE CAME HERE
WITH A POCKET FULL OF COINS,
SET US UP IN A TINY,
LITTLE SHITHOLE ON 124th.
HE'D SAY, "IN ALL OF THE WORLD,
THE SUN SHINES A
LITTLE BRIGHTER HERE."
THAT'S A NICE THOUGHT.
IT'S BULLSHIT.
THAT MAN HAD TO CLIMB JUST A
LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN MOST
TO REALLY SEE IT.
HE'D BE PROUD OF YOU.
NAH.
HE'D BE LOADED.
PARCO!
OH, FUCK.
AFTER 8 YEARS AND A CIVIL
WAR, WHAT DO YOU WANT,
TO BORROW SOME SUGAR?
HOW DID YOU FIND ME?
HOW MANY TIMES DID I HAVE
TO LISTEN TO YOU GO ON
ABOUT HOW YOU WERE
GONNA OWN THIS BLOCK?
WASN'T HARD. YOU
GONNA LET ME IN?
I'M MAKING A SCENE OUT HERE.
AIN'T GONNA BE MUCH
BETTER IN HERE.
WHY?
'CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA
LET YOU IN, BITCH.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
HI, CARMEN.
WHO THE FUCK DO
YOU THINK YOU ARE,
SHOWING UP TO THIS
HOME, TO MY HOME?
LOOK, I DON'T WANT
TO BOTHER YOU.
BITCH, YOU ARE BOTHERING ME,
SO TURN YOUR ASS
AROUND AND LEAVE.
8 YEARS AND A CIVIL WAR LATER,
AND THIS ONE'S STILL ALL BARK.
BITCH, I AM RIGHT HERE.
SAY IT TO MY FACE.
YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE LIKE ME.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE STILL TRYING.
BUT THIS IS IMPRESSIVE.
YEAH. I LIKE THE DECOR.
WOW. AFTER THE SHIT YOU PULLED,
YOU WANT TO COME HERE
AND INSULT ME, TOO?
THE GROWNUPS ARE TALKING.
LISTEN, I JUST NEED
SOME INFORMATION,
AND I'M MORE THAN
HAPPY TO LEAVE.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
- I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT
YOUR DAILY ROUTINE... OH.
OH, SHIT.
STOP!
YOU THINK YOU COULD RAT
PARCO OUT AND COME BACK HERE?
YOU KNOW, THEY ARRESTED HIM
RIGHT BEFORE EVACUATION DAY.
HE COULD'VE STARVED IN
HOLDING. COPS ALL RAN...
AND YOU DIDN'T
THINK TO SAVE HIM?
NO! THEY ARRESTED ME,
TOO, YOU DUMB BITCH.
HEY, YO, YO, YO. HEY. HEY,
YO, YO. HEY, HEY, HEY. OK.
- I'M GONNA KILL THAT RAT.
- OK, I KNOW YOU ARE.
HEY, I GOT THIS. I
GOT THIS, ALL RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT, WOMAN?
I NEED TO SEE CHRISTIAN.
TELL ME WHERE HE
IS, AND I'll LEAVE.
FOR ONE, HE DON'T GO
BY THAT NAME NO MORE.
AND HE LIKES HIS PRIVACY.
UNLIKE YOU, I RESPECT THAT.
OONA ISN'T COMING
THROUGH FOR YOU.
LONG TIME, CESAR.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "OONA
ISN'T COMING THROUGH"?
SAME THING, MAN.
COULDN'T GET IN.
THEY WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.
BITCH OUT FRONT ALMOST
SHOT ME THIS TIME.
NO, WE NEED OONA.
WE GET HER BUY-IN TONIGHT AT
THE DEBATE, IT'S GAME OVER.
WHAT, YOU THINK
WILSON GOT TO HER?
NO. SHE'S AN ISLAND.
AND THIS ONE?
NAH, SHE WAS JUST LEAVING.
- TELL ME WHERE HE IS.
- BYE.
WHERE IS HE? FUCK YOU.
1-6 THAT YOU WON'T MAKE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
- YOUR NAME?
- FUCK YOU.
BODHI KANG. SPELL IT.
- B-O-D-H-I.
- K-A-N-G?
- YEAH.
- AND YOUR NAME?
- RICHARD HO.
- MUCH EASIER.
WE COME INTO THIS WORLD
NAKED AND ALONE, RIGHT?
AND WE LEAVE IT NAKED AND ALONE.
YOU GOT TO GET YOU
AND YOURS SQUARED UP.
TO HELL WITH ALL Y'ALL.
YOU SEE, IN THE END...
IT'S JUST YOU AND GOD.
THAT'S IT.
IT'S JUST YOU AND GOD.
THAT'S IT.
THE PREACHER AIN'T WRONG.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HOME,
BUT HOME TAKES TIME.
MAKING PEACE WITH YOURSELF.
THAT'S THE FIRST STEP
TO FINDING YOUR PLACE,
AND THAT TAKES
REAL COURAGE, ODI.
YO! WHY YOU LISTENING TO
THAT FUCKING IDIOT, MAN?
DUDE'S NUTS.
COME ON.
COME ON. GOT
SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
IT'S JUST YOU AND GOD.
I DON'T GET IT.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE
TO DO WITH MY PROBLEM?
TELL ME ABOUT THE BOOK.
A MAN IS SENT TO CUBA TO
BE A SPY FOR THE BRITISH.
HE LIES ABOUT
EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE
TO GET PROMOTED,
TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
EVERYONE BELIEVES
HIS LIES ANYWAY.
AND REAL CONSEQUENCES
PLAY OUT. AND?
AND PEOPLE START DYING,
BUT HE DOUBLES DOWN ON HIS
LIES, AND THE WAY OTHERS REACT
MAKE HIS LIES COME TRUE.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL
YOU ABOUT TRUTH?
THAT IT'S IRRELEVANT.
NOW YOUR GOLD IS DISAPPEARING,
AND ONLY 3 PEOPLE KNOW
WHERE IT'S HIDDEN,
AND ONE OF THEM IS A RAT.
HOW TO KNOW WHICH ONE?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I CAN JUST CHOOSE.
EITHER I'll BE RIGHT
OR I'll BE WRONG,
IN WHICH CASE EITHER THE TRUTH
WILL BE WHATEVER I SAY IT IS,
OR IT'LL EMERGE ON ITS OWN.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?
I LEFT A NEW BOOK ON YOUR DESK,
ANOTHER TALE ABOUT
A FANTASTIC LIAR.
WHAT WOULD I DO
WITHOUT YOU, SUSIE?
AND I TAKE NO CREDIT. I SIMPLY
SHARE MY BOOKS WITH YOU.
HO.
EVEN A KING KNEELS
TO THE FUTURE.
GO.
WE LEAVE FOR CITY
HALL IN 5 HOURS.
I WANT EVERYONE
THERE. WE GO AS...
YOU STAYED.
I DID.
COME HERE.
THEY ADORE YOU.
WELL, I WORK HARD FOR IT.
I'M SO SORRY.
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING
QUICK I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE
ME FOR A MOMENT?
- OH, OF COURSE.
- I'll BE BACK.
WAIT WITH HER IN MY
OFFICE. IT WON'T TAKE LONG.
GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.
HOW'S YOUR MOTHER? SHE'S GOOD.
GOOD, GOOD. HEH.
STRIP.
YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO
KNOW WHERE MY GOLD IS HIDDEN.
I ENTRUSTED YOU...
TO SECURE THOSE CACHES.
AND NOW ANOTHER
ONE'S GONE MISSING.
ONE OF YOU IS MY RAT.
I'll RETURN TOMORROW WITH
BOTH OF YOUR MOTHERS.
IF I DON'T GET A FULL
CONFESSION FROM THIS GROUP,
I'll KILL THEM IN FRONT OF YOU.
I'M SO SORRY.
I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK.
YOU KNOW, YOUR
TIMING IS PERFECT.
I'VE GOT THIS DEBATE TODAY.
RIGHT. PARCO.
WOULD YOU EVER HAVE
THOUGHT THAT I'D BE THE ONE
FIGHTING FOR A NEW REPUBLIC HERE
WITH TOTAL POLITICAL FREEDOM?
ACTUALLY, YEAH.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
PEDDLING, POLITICAL FREEDOM?
PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
BE TOLD WHAT TO DO.
THE ECOSYSTEM OF CREWS
HERE, IT'S DEVELOPED
OUT OF TRULY FREE CHOICE.
MY PEOPLE DON'T WANT WHAT
THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE WANTS,
AND THOSE FOLKS DON'T
WANT THE SAME THING
AS THE KINGS UPTOWN.
WHAT WE ALL WANT IS THE
FREEDOM TO SELF-DETERMINE.
AND I JUST WANT TO GUARANTEE IT.
SO WHY DID YOU STAY?
I ASKED YOU ABOUT
MY SON CHRISTIAN.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL
YOU THAT PARCO IS HIS FATHER.
NOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?
I KNOW A LOT ABOUT SKEL.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE HE LIVES?
YOU ARE STEPPING INTO
STRATOSPHERES OF CONSEQUENCE
THAT CAN REALLY HURT YOU, ALMA.
YOU NEED TO STOP AND ASK
YOURSELF IF THIS IS WORTH IT.
SKEL'S THE CROWN PRINCE.
IF I TOUCH HIM, THE DMZ
WILL HAVE ITS OWN CIVIL WAR.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE LIVES?
NOT TODAY, HMM?
I'M SORRY.
OK.
I'M GONNA TRY OONA, THEN.
- OONA?
- YEAH. MAYBE SHE KNOWS.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OONA?
CLEARLY, A LOT MORE
THAN YOU THINK.
I KNOW SHE'S HOLDING
OUT ON PARCO.
YEAH, NO SHIT. SHE'S
HOLDING OUT ON ME, TOO.
THAT'S THE ONE THING YOUR BABY
DADDY AND I HAVE IN COMMON.
WELL, HE'S PLAYING FOR HER HARD,
AND SHE'S GOT HIM SWEATING.
BECAUSE HE'S TRYING
TO WIN HER WITH DEALS,
LIKE HE DOES TO EVERYBODY.
SEE, HE'S TOO ARROGANT TO
SEE YOU DON'T WIN OONA.
SHE'S HOLED UP IN THE CLOISTERS
WITH ALL THE SWAY IN THE DMZ.
AND THAT SCARES YOU.
A WOMAN LIKE OONA REQUIRES
NUANCE AND PATIENCE,
TWO IDEAS PARCO
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT.
MAYBE.
YOU DISAGREE.
I THINK YOU ENGAGE A WOMAN
LIKE OONA WITH HUMANITY,
BY GOING BEYOND
YOURSELF TO HELP OTHERS.
IN TIME...
YOU'LL HELP THE RIGHT PEOPLE...
SHE'LL SEE YOU.
GO ALONG THE HUDSON.
THE FSA WON'T FIRE AT YOU
FOR BEING NEAR THE WATER
LIKE THE U.S.
THANK YOU.
AND, ALMA...
GOOD LUCK.
CHRISTIAN?
CHRISTIAN?
I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU DIDN'T GET ANY MORE TATTOOS.
WHY DID YOU COME BACK?
FOR YOU.
I CAME BACK FOR YOU.
YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE.
DON'T SAY A WORD ABOUT MY ART.
YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
CHRISTIAN, I...
STOP SAYING THAT NAME.
FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS,
11 MONTHS, 25 DAYS,
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ONLY ABOUT THAT NAME...
ABOUT YOU.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU...
DREAMING ABOUT THIS MOMENT.
I LOST YOU...
AND I'M SORRY.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND I SWEAR,
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN.
YOU DIDN'T LOSE ME.
I RAN.
OK. FOLLOW ME, OK? FOLLOW ME.
WHAT?
PLEASE. PLEASE.
JUST ME AND MY SON.
CHRISTIAN?
CHRISTIAN!
YOU SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE
LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH ME.
WHATEVER.
THE PAST DOESN'T MATTER.
I CAN HEAR YOUR FATHER.
YEAH? WELL, HE SEES
IT ALL CLEARLY.
HE'S NOT LIVING IN SOME FANTASY.
RIGHT.
AND HE GAVE ME THE ONE THING
YOU ALWAYS TOOK FROM ME:
POWER.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS NOW.
I'M NOT YOUR SON ANYMORE,
AND I DON'T FEEL ANGER OR
HATE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
I FEEL NOTHING.
SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOME.
GO CRY FOR ME SOMEWHERE ELSE,
AND DON'T YOU EVER
COME BACK HERE AGAIN.
GO!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE.
AAH!
GO!
YO, YOU ALL RIGHT?
TONIGHT, MAKE SURE
THAT OUR FRIENDS ARE
SPREAD THROUGHOUT.
I DON'T WANT ANY ROOM
FOR A SPLIT IN THE CROWD.
SPEAKING OF, HOW'S THAT LOOKING?
THE CO-OP AND THE KOLLECTIV,
THEY ACCEPTED OUR GOLD.
CONFIRMED THEY'LL BE
READY TO ENDORSE YOU.
NOW, THE OTHER USUAL
SUSPECTS DID THE SAME.
UNION SQUARE, MERCER.
I EVEN STOPPED BY TO SEE JORDAN.
TWO-FOUR'S IN LINE.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT
ABOUT THE ARTISTS?
- LEANING WILSON.
- OONA?
CAN'T HOLD OUR BREATH.
LOOK, WORST CASE,
SHE'S ON THE LINE.
YOU READY FOR THIS?
YEAH, TÚ SABES.
I'M GONNA WHIP THIS
CROWD INTO A FINE LATHER.
NO, MAN. I MEAN GOVERNOR.
NEITHER ARMY WANTS TO SEE
THE DMZ GETTING STRONG.
I KNOW WE GOT OUR PLAN, BUT
THERE AIN'T NO GOING BACK.
LISTEN, BRO, 10,
15 YEARS FROM NOW,
THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT THE
KIDS ARE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT
IN HISTORY CLASS, OK,
IN OUR SCHOOLS, RIGHT
HERE IN MANHATTAN.
HELL, YEAH, I'M READY. SHIT.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
I'M AT YOUR SIX,
BROTHER, ALL DAY.
ALL RIGHT.
PSSH. YO, LOOK WHO
DECIDED TO SHOW UP.
YOU KNOW, WE ALL BEEN
MISSING YOU ENOUGH
TO START WONDERING.
GIVE ME AND THE
OLD MAN SOME AIR.
RELAX, BRO. GO GET
YOURSELF A PALETA.
COME ON. LET'S TAKE A WALK.
SHE CAME, JUST LIKE YOU WARNED.
ALREADY? DAMN.
FIGURED IT WOULD'VE TAKEN
MORE THAN JUST A FEW HOURS
TO FIND YOU.
WELL, I MADE MYSELF CLEAR
WHEN I TOLD HER TO LEAVE.
MAYBE I GOT CARRIED
AWAY, BUT SHE HEARD ME.
HEY, REMEMBER THAT TIME
WE WENT TO THE
GRAFFITI HALL OF FAME
ABOUT A WEEK AFTER
EVACUATION DAY,
WE HAD THAT PLACE
ALL TO OURSELVES?
YOU'RE TRYING TO COOL ME OFF.
I MEAN, THE WAR WAS
GOING ON ALL AROUND US,
BOMBS GOING OFF, GUNFIRE.
BUT YOU, IT WAS LIKE
YOU GOT SWEPT AWAY
INTO THIS WHOLE OTHER WORLD.
THE WAY I REMEMBER
YOU FEELING, MAN,
THAT'S HOW I'M FEELING TODAY.
PROUD OF YOU, POP.
AND THAT WOMAN THAT
DROPPED IN ON US,
ESA BRUJA MADRE TUYA,
AIN'T GONNA STEP
ON NONE OF THAT.
SHE CHANGES NOTHING.
I MEAN, SO WHAT, SHE SNUCK
IN HERE. AFTER 8 YEARS?
I GIVE HER TWO DAYS BEFORE
THE DMZ EATS HER ALIVE.
YO, LISTEN TO ME,
5 DAYS FROM NOW AFTER THE
VOTE IS ALL SAID AND DONE,
WE'RE GONNA BE FIXING UP
OUR OFFICES IN CITY HALL,
ANNOUNCING MANHATTAN
AS OUR OWN STATE.
AND I WANT YOU TO
LEAD SPANISH HARLEM.
- YEAH, OK.
- "YEAH, OK"? THAT'S IT?
THAT'S ALL YOU GOT FOR ME?
BETTER BRING IT IN
HERE, MAN. LISTEN,
NONE OF THIS SHIT WOULD HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU, MAN.
THAT'S THE TRUTH.
HEY, I'M PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
WE'RE SO CLOSE NOW, YOU KNOW?
YES, SIR.
MY BROTHER SAYS THAT
CANNIBALS HIDE GOLD IN THERE.
YOU GONNA WUSS OUT ABOUT IT? NO.
FUCK IT. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
WAIT. COME HERE. HOLD MY LEGS.
COME ON.
GO.
WAIT. JUST A LITTLE MORE.
ODI, WE GOT TO GO.
OK.
RUN! COME ON. IN HERE.
HOLY SHIT.
- WAS THAT THEM?
- I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
BUT THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME...
EVEN IF IT WAS FOR
THAT DUMB SHIT.
JUST YOU AND ME, GOD, RIGHT?
- I THINK IT'S AMAZING.
- YEAH.
SHH, SHH, SHH.
HEY, YO, WHAT THE FUCK, LADY?
YOU WANT TO GET US KILLED?
- ODI.
- HI, ZEE.
NICO'S RIGHT. WE
ALL GOT TO BOUNCE.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- WE WERE JUST LEAVING.
I'M GOING TO THE CLOISTERS.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
- GET DOWN.
- WHAT?
YOU CANNOT GO TO
THE CITY OF DIS.
THE WHOLE AREA IS
RUN BY CANNIBALS.
THEY'RE FANATICS.
THEY'LL HAVE YOU ON A SPIKE
BEFORE YOU'RE EVEN DEAD.
IS THERE A WAY AROUND 'EM?
ALONG THE RIVER OR
THROUGH THE PARK.
IF YOU LIKE, I CAN SHOW YOU.
NO FUCKING WAY I'M GOING.
I'll SEE YOU AT CITY HALL.
COME ON.
THAT KIND OF DAY, HUH?
PUT IT ON YOUR TAB?
I'll SETTLE UP.
HEY, I DID A FULL SONG.
I GET A FULL POUR.
- I GOT YOU.
- ALL RIGHT.
MM-HMM.
BARTENDER: JUST
FINISH UP, ALL RIGHT?
WE'RE CLOSING EARLY
FOR THE DEBATE.
SO HE DOES SPEAK.
I'VE SEEN YOU IN HERE 5 TIMES.
NEVER ONCE SAW YOU
TALK TO ANYBODY.
WHO'S BEEN COUNTING?
I NOTICE MY AUDIENCE.
I WANTED TO CHARGE YOU EXTRA FOR
THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME, THOUGH.
I'M GOOD FOR IT.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
CHRISTIAN.
TENNY.
THEY ONLY LET GIRLS
IN TO SEE OONA.
I'll WAIT FOR YOU HERE.
THANKS.
- YOU LOST?
- I NEED TO SPEAK WITH OONA.
COME ANY FURTHER,
JUST KNOW YOU GOT
AT LEAST 3 RIFLES AIMED AT YOU.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS, I
OWE OONA EXACTLY ONE FAVOR.
SHE CALLED, AND I CAME.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE.
IT'S ALL GOOD IF YOU
WANT TO SEND ME AWAY,
BUT I'M NOT COMING BACK.
YOU CAN TELL OONA SHE CAN
FIND A DOCTOR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
STAY HERE.
HI.
HEY. OW! UH!
A LIAR WHO COMES UNARMED.
SNAKE IN THE GRASS
IF I EVER SAW ONE.
IF YOU'RE HERE ABOUT
WATER, YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK.
I DON'T CHANGE THE WATER FLOW
IN THIS CITY FOR ANYBODY.
I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR WATER.
THEN WHAT DO YOU
WANT, FOOD, SHELTER?
I NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
PARCO SENT YOU UP
HERE TO BUY ME OFF?
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK
ABOUT HIS GOLD.
I'M NOT HERE TO SHILL FOR
PARCO. I'M HERE TO DESTROY HIM.
AND I'M NOT FROM THE DMZ.
I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE TWO DAYS.
LOOK, FOR THE PAST 8
YEARS, I'VE BEEN ALL OVER
THE FREE STATES AND
THE UNITED STATES,
AND THAT SHOULD MATTER TO YOU
BECAUSE WHILE YOU'VE BUILT
YOUR WALLED GARDEN HERE,
I KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE
IN CHARGE OUT THERE ARE
JUST BIDING THEIR
TIME TO COME BACK HERE
AND TAKE THIS ALL AWAY FROM YOU.
BUT WE CAN CHANGE
THAT IF WE ACT NOW.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
ZEE.
THE LIGHTS WILL
COME BACK IN A BIT.
HERE. LET ME GET YOUR COAT.
YOU DID ALL THESE?
YEAH.
WHAT'S THAT ONE?
THAT IS THE CITY DURING A STORM.
YOU KNOW, IF THE LIGHTS WERE ON,
YOU COULD SEE THE BLUE
GLOW ACROSS THE BOTTOM.
THAT'S THE STEAM COMING
UP OFF THE PAVEMENT.
AND THE DRIPS...
IS THAT THE RAIN?
THAT'S THE MOMENT RIGHT
BEFORE LIGHTNING STRIKES.
SOFTLY.
WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS HIT,
I WAS DOWN IN THE
MAIN VALVE CHAMBER,
200 FEET BELOW CENTRAL PARK.
ELEVATOR GOT KNOCKED OUT.
I WAS STUCK DOWN
THERE FOR A WEEK.
WHEN I FINALLY CAME UP,
THE FIRST THING I SAW WAS
A TEENAGE GIRL
BEATING UP AN OLD MAN.
IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD
JUST ROBBED A BODEGA.
BUT SHE DIDN'T TAKE HIS FOOD.
SHE TOOK HIS GUN.
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED
WE WERE ALL IN A RACE
TO STOCK UP ON CURRENCY.
MOST PEOPLE WERE
CHASING GUNS AND GOLD,
BUT THEY FORGOT ABOUT WATER,
THE ONE THING EVERYONE
NEEDS TO SURVIVE.
SO I TOOK IT.
- TO LEVERAGE IT?
- TO KEEP IT EQUAL...
AND OUT OF THE HANDS
OF WARLORDS LIKE PARCO.
THAT'S WHY I WANT
TO TAKE HIM DOWN.
HOW?
THROW YOUR WEIGHT BEHIND
WILSON AT THE DEBATE TONIGHT.
LOOK, I HAVE TO DO THIS.
MY SON...
I LOST HIM IN THE EVACUATION.
I GOT KNOCKED OUT, AND
I WOKE UP IN THE U.S.,
BUT MY BOY WAS TRAPPED HERE,
AND THEN HE FOUND HIS FATHER...
PARCO.
YOUR SON IS SKEL?
SKEL IS THE IDEA THAT
PARCO HAS TURNED HIM INTO.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO
BREAK THAT SPELL IS
TO BREAK PARCO HIMSELF.
AND YOU THINK THAT'S
THROUGH WILSON?
I THINK THAT'S THROUGH YOU.
YOU HAVE A VOICE HERE.
THIS IS YOUR HOME.
I'M NOT GONNA BE
STICKING AROUND.
PARCO WILL RULE THIS PLACE THE
ONLY WAY THAT HE KNOWS HOW...
BY FEAR.
IT'S WHAT HE COMES FROM. HE'S
DRIVEN BY IT, BUT I'M NOT.
PARCO, WILSON. IT'S ALL
KABUKI THEATER, SWEETHEART.
HEY. WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
YOU KNOW, YOU SAY
YOU'RE ABOUT EQUALITY,
BUT YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH WATER
FOR THIS KIND OF IRRIGATION.
PEOPLE COME TO THE CLINIC
FOR A SIP OF WATER,
AND YOU'RE JUST WASHING
YOUR HANDS ON DEMAND.
WE'RE ALL LOOKING
OUT FOR OUR OWN.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE
GET TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES.
COME TO THE TABLE.
THERE IS NO TABLE IN THE DMZ.
THEN SOMEONE SHOULD BUILD ONE.
THAT WASN'T THE FIRST
TIME I SAW YOU PLAY.
THE FIRST TIME WAS
ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
OH, YEAH? WHAT'D I PLAY?
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
I JUST REMEMBER
THE WAY YOU FELT...
THE WAY YOU MADE ME
FEEL WHEN YOU SANG.
AND HOW WAS THAT?
WEIGHTLESS.
I IMAGINED THAT THE WORLD
OUTSIDE WAS NORMAL AGAIN
AND THAT AFTER...
I'D TALK TO YOU...
MAYBE ASK YOU OUT.
I USED TO DO THAT.
LIKE, PRETEND AND...
LIVE IN DAYDREAMS.
THEN AFTER A WHILE, IT
STARTED TO, UH, HURT
MORE THAN IT HELPED.
WHEN I SAW YOU TODAY...
JUST FOR A SECOND, I FELT
MYSELF LOOKING FORWARD.
I'M PRETTY SURE I'M
LOOKING FORWARD RIGHT NOW.
CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
OF COURSE.
DO YOU LIVE AT THE CLINIC?
HEY! THIS IS MY DINNER.
OK. COME ON.
I FOUND THIS. I THOUGHT OF YOU.
JUST YOU AND ME, GOD, RIGHT?
GOD BLESS YOU, KID.
THAT WAS REALLY NICE OF YOU.
ARE YOU OK?
MY GRANDPA ALWAYS TOLD ME,
THE BEST WAY TO GO ON
HERE IS TO KEEP MOVING,
BUT... I'M TIRED.
HEY, IT'S NOT THAT I'M
AFRAID OF THE DARK.
JUST THE NIGHT.
I KNOW ROSE DIED.
DO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO STAY?
I WAS GONNA ASK ROSE.
DO YOU WANT TO STAY
WITH ME AT THE CLINIC?
WE'LL BOTH STAY THERE.
GOT IT, BOSS.
THE CROWD'S MOSTLY OURS.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
LET ME HEAR YOU, DMZ!
YOU ALL READY TO
THROW THIS SHIT DOWN?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE ALREADY
GOT ONE FIGHTER TO THE RING.
WE ALL KNOW HIM AS
THE MAVEN OF MULBERRY,
THE KILLER BELOW CANAL
THAT IS WILSON LIN HOLDING
IT DOWN FOR CHINATOWN, BABY!
GIVE IT UP! GIVE IT UP!
THANK YOU FOR COMING. YOUR
FATHER WOULD BE PROUD.
IT'S HAIL TO THE
MOTHERFUCKIN' CHIEF
OF UPTOWN, PARCO DELGADO!
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
LISTEN UP, LISTEN UP.
EACH FIGHTER GETS ONE
MINUTE FOR OPENING MOVES.
THEN WE HIT THE QUESTIONS.
LET'S GET IT.
DAMN. YOU ALL CLEAN UP NICE.
HOW'S EVERYBODY FEELING TONIGHT?
NOW, LOOK, I'M GONNA TRY
TO KEEP THIS REAL BRIEF.
IT'S TOO NICE A NIGHT TO WASTE
ON SOME MOTHERFUCKERS
TALKING POLITICS. AM I RIGHT?
NOW, YOU ALL KNOW
ME, RIGHT? YEAH!
WHO THE FUCK AM I?
PARCO! PARCO...
WHEN YOU SEE ME ON
THE STREET, YOU SAY,
"THAT'S MY O.G." PARCO!
YOU KNOW ME 'CAUSE I
COME FROM RIGHT HERE,
BORN AND RAISED.
YOU KNOW ME BECAUSE YOU
ARE ME, AND I AM YOU.
HOLD UP. LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME MAD.
OUR NAME, DMZ. THAT'S THE
NAME THAT THEY GAVE US.
IT AIN'T OURS.
BUT I'll TELL YOU WHAT
IS, THIS LAND IS OURS.
YEAH!
AND FIRST THINGS FIRST,
WE'RE GONNA MARCH OVER
TO THE LINCOLN TUNNEL,
WHERE THE FSA'S
GOT THEIR SOLDIERS
AND WE'RE GONNA KICK THEM
THE FUCK OFF OUR ISLAND.
YEAH!
WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT
ALL BACK TOGETHER...
UPTOWN, DOWNTOWN, DO IT
AS ONE UNIFIED STATE.
BUT TO DO THAT, WE GOT TO
DO IT SPEAKING IN ONE VOICE.
YOU MEAN YOUR VOICE, RIGHT?
LEADERS LEAD. CALL
IT WHAT YOU WANT.
HE PUTS ON A GOOD SHOW.
I'll GIVE HIM THAT.
BUT LET'S, LET'S GET REAL, HMM?
PARCO'S TALKING ABOUT SOME
GRAND UNIFIED, UNITED STATE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
YOUR FREEDOM...
WHICH IS THE FIRST THING THIS
GUY'S GONNA TAKE FROM YOU.
THE PAST 8 YEARS HAVE
BEEN HARD, NO DOUBT.
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
YOU HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FREE
WITH THE POWER TO
CALL YOUR OWN SHOTS...
MAKE YOUR OWN LIFE.
BEFORE THE WAR, WE NEVER
KNEW FREEDOM LIKE THIS.
WE WERE MARGINALIZED,
UNSEEN, UNDERVALUED, SHUT OUT!
WELL, GUESS WHAT.
PARCO WANTS TO GO BACK
TO THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS.
BUT IF YOU WANTED A DADDY
TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO,
TO SELL YOU EMPTY PROMISES
OF SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
YOU COULD'VE LEFT WHEN
THE SOLDIERS TOLD YOU TO.
AM I RIGHT?
YOU COULD BE OUT THERE RIGHT
NOW PLEDGING YOUR ALLEGIANCE
TO EITHER OF THESE TWO
AMERICAS, BUT YOU'RE NOT.
YOU CHOSE HERE,
WHERE YOU'RE FREE TO
BUILD YOUR OWN FUTURE.
AND TONIGHT,
IN THIS ELECTION, WE
CAN SECURE THAT LIBERTY,
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M
GONNA DO, FRIENDS.
I'M GONNA PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM.
I'M GONNA DEFEND IT!
YOU DON'T NEED
THIS CLOWN'S VOICE
DROWNING OUT YOUR OWN.
YOU JUST NEED SOMEONE LIKE ME
TO KEEP HIM AND HIS
CRONIES OFF YOUR BACK.
YO, YO, HOLD UP. HOLD UP.
WHO YOU CALLING A CLOWN, MAN?
JUST BECAUSE YOUR
BALD-HEADED, HUMPTY DUMPTY ASS
PUTS ON A SUIT DOESN'T
MAKE YOU GOVERNOR.
COME ON, MAN. THE U.S., THE
FSA, THEY WANT US DIVIDED.
WE WANT TO STAND
UP, WE GOT TO UNITE.
THE ARMIES OUTSIDE AIN'T
GONNA LEAVE US ALONE, FOOL.
CALL THE ROLL, LEN.
WHAT ABOUT QUESTIONS?
WE'RE GONNA SKIP
RIGHT TO THE ANSWERS.
YOU ALL WANT TO SEE WHO WE ARE?
- YEAH!
- THEN LET'S GO.
OK. ROLL CALL FOR THIS
WEEK'S ELECTION. HERE WE GO.
SPANISH HARLEM KINGS,
WHO YOU ENDORSE?
WE PLEDGE TO PARCO.
STUYTOWN, WHERE YOU AT?
STUYTOWN STANDS WITH WILSON!
EL CAMINO MUERTO, SPEAK UP.
CAMINO MUERTO STANDS WITH PARCO.
TWO-FOUR CREW, WHAT IT DO?
PARCO.
BOWERY PROTECTORATE?
THE BOWERY BACKS PARCO DELGADO.
LET'S TAKE BACK OUR CITY.
THAT, TO ME, SOUNDS
LIKE A LANDSLIDE.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HOLD UP.
WE ALSO GOT THE
WESTSIDE KOLLECTIV,
THE CO-OP, MERCER STREET,
UNION SQUARE EAST AND WEST,
THE POWER GRID FOLKS
ON EAST 14th STREET.
SHALL I GO ON?
- IS THAT OONA?
- OONA?
QUIET, MAN. OONA'S HERE...
PARCO STANDS UP HERE
OFFERING YOU PROTECTION?
WELL, I'M HEARING HIM
THREATENING TO TAKE IT AWAY.
THIS ISN'T A POWERFUL
MAN OFFERING POWER.
THIS IS A FEARFUL
MAN STOKING FEAR.
I DON'T LIKE THIS.
I STAY AWAY FROM ALL OF IT,
AND I CAN BECAUSE I HAVE POWER
THESE MEN COULDN'T
EVEN DREAM OF.
I COULD RUN THIS CITY DRY,
AND I COULD STAND HERE AND
DEMAND YOUR LOYALTY IN EXCHANGE.
THAT'S WHAT PARCO WILL
DO, BUT THAT'S NOT ME.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO ENDORSE
EITHER ONE OF THESE MEN.
THERE IS ONE PERSON
THAT I'M INSPIRED BY...
SOMEONE WHO RECOGNIZES
WHAT IS BROKEN
AND CHALLENGES US TO FIX IT.
I CAME HERE TO THROW
MY SUPPORT BEHIND ZEE.
WHERE SHE GOES, I GO.
AND I URGE ALL OF
YOU TO DO THE SAME.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BUT
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME
BECAUSE I'VE GOT 5,000 GALLONS
OF PURIFIED WATER FOR YOU
UNDERNEATH MY FEET,
AND BECAUSE I CAME
FROM THE OUTSIDE
WITH A MESSAGE FOR YOU ALL.
OUT THERE, THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR
WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HERE...
A CHANCE TO START
OVER, GET IT RIGHT.
THE FUTURE ISN'T ABOUT KINGS.
IT'S ABOUT PARTNERS.
SO I CAME HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU
THAT I AM A PARTNER TO WILSON.
A VOTE FOR WILSON
IS A VOTE FOR YOU...
SO WE CAN USE ALL OUR VOICES
TO BUILD A NEW KIND OF POWER.
SO RAISE YOUR GLASS AND GET
YOUR FILL OF PURIFIED WATER.
THIS WILL BE RUNNING
FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS.
YOU HER BROAD SIDE.
HEART'S JUST BEHIND
THE NEAREST SHOULDER.
THAT'S THE CLEANEST
KILL SHOT POSSIBLE,
BUT YOU'RE AIMING TOO FAR LEFT.
AIM RIGHT.
THAT'S IT. A LITTLE
BIT FARTHER. STEADY.
A LITTLE MORE.
THERE.
OK. DEEP BREATH.
BRACE FOR THE RECOIL.
AND...
SQUEEZE.
DAMN GOOD.
LOOK AT US.
THREE YEARS AGO, WE
STARTED WITH 4 BLOCKS,
AND WE'D SHOOT ON
SIGHT TO GUARD IT.
NOW WE GOT OPENED UP ROADS,
CREW AFFILIATIONS,
FREE TRADE.
THAT STARTED WITH YOU.
HA HA! OH, MY...
YOU TRYING TO GET
ME GOING HERE, HUH?
HUH?
IT'S WORKING.
¿TÚ NO TE CANSAS?
HMM?
I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU
I'M PROUD OF YOU, FOOL.
I'M GONNA MAKE BREAKFAST.
QUEEN DOPE ON RADIO:
TODAY IS THE DAY, FRIENDS.
THE DMZ'S FIRST-EVER
DEBATE: PARCO AND WILSON,
THE TWO ICONS, THE TWO
EGOS, AND THE TWO MEN
WHO HAVE BEEN BEATING
THEIR CHESTS TO CONVINCE US
THEY DESERVE OUR VOTE.
AND THAT'S BIG, FOLKS...
BIG FOR YOU, BIG FOR ME,
AND BIG FOR ALL THE COZY-ASS
WHITE BOYS CHEWING THEIR NAILS
ON THE OUTSIDE.
SO SHOW UP TO CITY HALL TONIGHT.
LISTEN AND MAKE YOUR CHOICE.
AND NOW A LITTLE
SOMETHING TO BOUNCE TO.
PANCAKES? HOW?
FARM CO-OP GAVE ME
A SACK OF FLOUR,
SOME BUTTER AND EGGS,
EARLY CONGRATULATIONS FOR TODAY.
CAREFUL. I MIGHT
GET USED TO THIS.
BRING THAT COFFEE, GIRL.
YOU GOT TO SWEETEN THAT
UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.
YEAH, BUT YOU ADDED
A LITTLE BIT TOO
MUCH SUGAR TO IT.
COME ON, NOW.
DON'T FRONT LIKE YOU
AIN'T ENJOYING IT.
I KNOW YOU LOVING IT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
LITTLE NENE?
WELL, THE KID WITH THE BAT
NEEDS TO CHOKE UP ON THE GRIP,
AND THAT PITCHER NEEDS
TO LOSE HIS SIDEARM.
HA HA.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
COME ON, BABY. NOT NOW.
WHY YOU GOT A STUPID
GRIN ON YOUR FACE?
I'M JUST ENJOYING
THE SUN IS ALL.
I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT MY POPS.
- ABOUT WHAT?
- NAH, NOTHING.
JUST HOW WHEN HE CAME HERE
WITH A POCKET FULL OF COINS,
SET US UP IN A TINY,
LITTLE SHITHOLE ON 124th.
HE'D SAY, "IN ALL OF THE WORLD,
THE SUN SHINES A
LITTLE BRIGHTER HERE."
THAT'S A NICE THOUGHT.
IT'S BULLSHIT.
THAT MAN HAD TO CLIMB JUST A
LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN MOST
TO REALLY SEE IT.
HE'D BE PROUD OF YOU.
NAH.
HE'D BE LOADED.
PARCO!
OH, FUCK.
AFTER 8 YEARS AND A CIVIL
WAR, WHAT DO YOU WANT,
TO BORROW SOME SUGAR?
HOW DID YOU FIND ME?
HOW MANY TIMES DID I HAVE
TO LISTEN TO YOU GO ON
ABOUT HOW YOU WERE
GONNA OWN THIS BLOCK?
WASN'T HARD. YOU
GONNA LET ME IN?
I'M MAKING A SCENE OUT HERE.
AIN'T GONNA BE MUCH
BETTER IN HERE.
WHY?
'CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA
LET YOU IN, BITCH.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
HI, CARMEN.
WHO THE FUCK DO
YOU THINK YOU ARE,
SHOWING UP TO THIS
HOME, TO MY HOME?
LOOK, I DON'T WANT
TO BOTHER YOU.
BITCH, YOU ARE BOTHERING ME,
SO TURN YOUR ASS
AROUND AND LEAVE.
8 YEARS AND A CIVIL WAR LATER,
AND THIS ONE'S STILL ALL BARK.
BITCH, I AM RIGHT HERE.
SAY IT TO MY FACE.
YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS
WANTED TO BE LIKE ME.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE STILL TRYING.
BUT THIS IS IMPRESSIVE.
YEAH. I LIKE THE DECOR.
WOW. AFTER THE SHIT YOU PULLED,
YOU WANT TO COME HERE
AND INSULT ME, TOO?
THE GROWNUPS ARE TALKING.
LISTEN, I JUST NEED
SOME INFORMATION,
AND I'M MORE THAN
HAPPY TO LEAVE.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
- I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT
YOUR DAILY ROUTINE... OH.
OH, SHIT.
STOP!
YOU THINK YOU COULD RAT
PARCO OUT AND COME BACK HERE?
YOU KNOW, THEY ARRESTED HIM
RIGHT BEFORE EVACUATION DAY.
HE COULD'VE STARVED IN
HOLDING. COPS ALL RAN...
AND YOU DIDN'T
THINK TO SAVE HIM?
NO! THEY ARRESTED ME,
TOO, YOU DUMB BITCH.
HEY, YO, YO, YO. HEY. HEY,
YO, YO. HEY, HEY, HEY. OK.
- I'M GONNA KILL THAT RAT.
- OK, I KNOW YOU ARE.
HEY, I GOT THIS. I
GOT THIS, ALL RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT, WOMAN?
I NEED TO SEE CHRISTIAN.
TELL ME WHERE HE
IS, AND I'll LEAVE.
FOR ONE, HE DON'T GO
BY THAT NAME NO MORE.
AND HE LIKES HIS PRIVACY.
UNLIKE YOU, I RESPECT THAT.
OONA ISN'T COMING
THROUGH FOR YOU.
LONG TIME, CESAR.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "OONA
ISN'T COMING THROUGH"?
SAME THING, MAN.
COULDN'T GET IN.
THEY WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.
BITCH OUT FRONT ALMOST
SHOT ME THIS TIME.
NO, WE NEED OONA.
WE GET HER BUY-IN TONIGHT AT
THE DEBATE, IT'S GAME OVER.
WHAT, YOU THINK
WILSON GOT TO HER?
NO. SHE'S AN ISLAND.
AND THIS ONE?
NAH, SHE WAS JUST LEAVING.
- TELL ME WHERE HE IS.
- BYE.
WHERE IS HE? FUCK YOU.
1-6 THAT YOU WON'T MAKE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
- YOUR NAME?
- FUCK YOU.
BODHI KANG. SPELL IT.
- B-O-D-H-I.
- K-A-N-G?
- YEAH.
- AND YOUR NAME?
- RICHARD HO.
- MUCH EASIER.
WE COME INTO THIS WORLD
NAKED AND ALONE, RIGHT?
AND WE LEAVE IT NAKED AND ALONE.
YOU GOT TO GET YOU
AND YOURS SQUARED UP.
TO HELL WITH ALL Y'ALL.
YOU SEE, IN THE END...
IT'S JUST YOU AND GOD.
THAT'S IT.
IT'S JUST YOU AND GOD.
THAT'S IT.
THE PREACHER AIN'T WRONG.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HOME,
BUT HOME TAKES TIME.
MAKING PEACE WITH YOURSELF.
THAT'S THE FIRST STEP
TO FINDING YOUR PLACE,
AND THAT TAKES
REAL COURAGE, ODI.
YO! WHY YOU LISTENING TO
THAT FUCKING IDIOT, MAN?
DUDE'S NUTS.
COME ON.
COME ON. GOT
SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
IT'S JUST YOU AND GOD.
I DON'T GET IT.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE
TO DO WITH MY PROBLEM?
TELL ME ABOUT THE BOOK.
A MAN IS SENT TO CUBA TO
BE A SPY FOR THE BRITISH.
HE LIES ABOUT
EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE
TO GET PROMOTED,
TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
EVERYONE BELIEVES
HIS LIES ANYWAY.
AND REAL CONSEQUENCES
PLAY OUT. AND?
AND PEOPLE START DYING,
BUT HE DOUBLES DOWN ON HIS
LIES, AND THE WAY OTHERS REACT
MAKE HIS LIES COME TRUE.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL
YOU ABOUT TRUTH?
THAT IT'S IRRELEVANT.
NOW YOUR GOLD IS DISAPPEARING,
AND ONLY 3 PEOPLE KNOW
WHERE IT'S HIDDEN,
AND ONE OF THEM IS A RAT.
HOW TO KNOW WHICH ONE?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I CAN JUST CHOOSE.
EITHER I'll BE RIGHT
OR I'll BE WRONG,
IN WHICH CASE EITHER THE TRUTH
WILL BE WHATEVER I SAY IT IS,
OR IT'LL EMERGE ON ITS OWN.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?
I LEFT A NEW BOOK ON YOUR DESK,
ANOTHER TALE ABOUT
A FANTASTIC LIAR.
WHAT WOULD I DO
WITHOUT YOU, SUSIE?
AND I TAKE NO CREDIT. I SIMPLY
SHARE MY BOOKS WITH YOU.
HO.
EVEN A KING KNEELS
TO THE FUTURE.
GO.
WE LEAVE FOR CITY
HALL IN 5 HOURS.
I WANT EVERYONE
THERE. WE GO AS...
YOU STAYED.
I DID.
COME HERE.
THEY ADORE YOU.
WELL, I WORK HARD FOR IT.
I'M SO SORRY.
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING
QUICK I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE
ME FOR A MOMENT?
- OH, OF COURSE.
- I'll BE BACK.
WAIT WITH HER IN MY
OFFICE. IT WON'T TAKE LONG.
GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.
HOW'S YOUR MOTHER? SHE'S GOOD.
GOOD, GOOD. HEH.
STRIP.
YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO
KNOW WHERE MY GOLD IS HIDDEN.
I ENTRUSTED YOU...
TO SECURE THOSE CACHES.
AND NOW ANOTHER
ONE'S GONE MISSING.
ONE OF YOU IS MY RAT.
I'll RETURN TOMORROW WITH
BOTH OF YOUR MOTHERS.
IF I DON'T GET A FULL
CONFESSION FROM THIS GROUP,
I'll KILL THEM IN FRONT OF YOU.
I'M SO SORRY.
I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK.
YOU KNOW, YOUR
TIMING IS PERFECT.
I'VE GOT THIS DEBATE TODAY.
RIGHT. PARCO.
WOULD YOU EVER HAVE
THOUGHT THAT I'D BE THE ONE
FIGHTING FOR A NEW REPUBLIC HERE
WITH TOTAL POLITICAL FREEDOM?
ACTUALLY, YEAH.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
PEDDLING, POLITICAL FREEDOM?
PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
BE TOLD WHAT TO DO.
THE ECOSYSTEM OF CREWS
HERE, IT'S DEVELOPED
OUT OF TRULY FREE CHOICE.
MY PEOPLE DON'T WANT WHAT
THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE WANTS,
AND THOSE FOLKS DON'T
WANT THE SAME THING
AS THE KINGS UPTOWN.
WHAT WE ALL WANT IS THE
FREEDOM TO SELF-DETERMINE.
AND I JUST WANT TO GUARANTEE IT.
SO WHY DID YOU STAY?
I ASKED YOU ABOUT
MY SON CHRISTIAN.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL
YOU THAT PARCO IS HIS FATHER.
NOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?
I KNOW A LOT ABOUT SKEL.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE HE LIVES?
YOU ARE STEPPING INTO
STRATOSPHERES OF CONSEQUENCE
THAT CAN REALLY HURT YOU, ALMA.
YOU NEED TO STOP AND ASK
YOURSELF IF THIS IS WORTH IT.
SKEL'S THE CROWN PRINCE.
IF I TOUCH HIM, THE DMZ
WILL HAVE ITS OWN CIVIL WAR.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE LIVES?
NOT TODAY, HMM?
I'M SORRY.
OK.
I'M GONNA TRY OONA, THEN.
- OONA?
- YEAH. MAYBE SHE KNOWS.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OONA?
CLEARLY, A LOT MORE
THAN YOU THINK.
I KNOW SHE'S HOLDING
OUT ON PARCO.
YEAH, NO SHIT. SHE'S
HOLDING OUT ON ME, TOO.
THAT'S THE ONE THING YOUR BABY
DADDY AND I HAVE IN COMMON.
WELL, HE'S PLAYING FOR HER HARD,
AND SHE'S GOT HIM SWEATING.
BECAUSE HE'S TRYING
TO WIN HER WITH DEALS,
LIKE HE DOES TO EVERYBODY.
SEE, HE'S TOO ARROGANT TO
SEE YOU DON'T WIN OONA.
SHE'S HOLED UP IN THE CLOISTERS
WITH ALL THE SWAY IN THE DMZ.
AND THAT SCARES YOU.
A WOMAN LIKE OONA REQUIRES
NUANCE AND PATIENCE,
TWO IDEAS PARCO
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT.
MAYBE.
YOU DISAGREE.
I THINK YOU ENGAGE A WOMAN
LIKE OONA WITH HUMANITY,
BY GOING BEYOND
YOURSELF TO HELP OTHERS.
IN TIME...
YOU'LL HELP THE RIGHT PEOPLE...
SHE'LL SEE YOU.
GO ALONG THE HUDSON.
THE FSA WON'T FIRE AT YOU
FOR BEING NEAR THE WATER
LIKE THE U.S.
THANK YOU.
AND, ALMA...
GOOD LUCK.
CHRISTIAN?
CHRISTIAN?
I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU DIDN'T GET ANY MORE TATTOOS.
WHY DID YOU COME BACK?
FOR YOU.
I CAME BACK FOR YOU.
YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE.
DON'T SAY A WORD ABOUT MY ART.
YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
CHRISTIAN, I...
STOP SAYING THAT NAME.
FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS,
11 MONTHS, 25 DAYS,
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ONLY ABOUT THAT NAME...
ABOUT YOU.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU...
DREAMING ABOUT THIS MOMENT.
I LOST YOU...
AND I'M SORRY.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND I SWEAR,
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AGAIN.
YOU DIDN'T LOSE ME.
I RAN.
OK. FOLLOW ME, OK? FOLLOW ME.
WHAT?
PLEASE. PLEASE.
JUST ME AND MY SON.
CHRISTIAN?
CHRISTIAN!
YOU SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE
LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH ME.
WHATEVER.
THE PAST DOESN'T MATTER.
I CAN HEAR YOUR FATHER.
YEAH? WELL, HE SEES
IT ALL CLEARLY.
HE'S NOT LIVING IN SOME FANTASY.
RIGHT.
AND HE GAVE ME THE ONE THING
YOU ALWAYS TOOK FROM ME:
POWER.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS NOW.
I'M NOT YOUR SON ANYMORE,
AND I DON'T FEEL ANGER OR
HATE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
I FEEL NOTHING.
SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOME.
GO CRY FOR ME SOMEWHERE ELSE,
AND DON'T YOU EVER
COME BACK HERE AGAIN.
GO!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE.
AAH!
GO!
YO, YOU ALL RIGHT?
TONIGHT, MAKE SURE
THAT OUR FRIENDS ARE
SPREAD THROUGHOUT.
I DON'T WANT ANY ROOM
FOR A SPLIT IN THE CROWD.
SPEAKING OF, HOW'S THAT LOOKING?
THE CO-OP AND THE KOLLECTIV,
THEY ACCEPTED OUR GOLD.
CONFIRMED THEY'LL BE
READY TO ENDORSE YOU.
NOW, THE OTHER USUAL
SUSPECTS DID THE SAME.
UNION SQUARE, MERCER.
I EVEN STOPPED BY TO SEE JORDAN.
TWO-FOUR'S IN LINE.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT
ABOUT THE ARTISTS?
- LEANING WILSON.
- OONA?
CAN'T HOLD OUR BREATH.
LOOK, WORST CASE,
SHE'S ON THE LINE.
YOU READY FOR THIS?
YEAH, TÚ SABES.
I'M GONNA WHIP THIS
CROWD INTO A FINE LATHER.
NO, MAN. I MEAN GOVERNOR.
NEITHER ARMY WANTS TO SEE
THE DMZ GETTING STRONG.
I KNOW WE GOT OUR PLAN, BUT
THERE AIN'T NO GOING BACK.
LISTEN, BRO, 10,
15 YEARS FROM NOW,
THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT THE
KIDS ARE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT
IN HISTORY CLASS, OK,
IN OUR SCHOOLS, RIGHT
HERE IN MANHATTAN.
HELL, YEAH, I'M READY. SHIT.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
I'M AT YOUR SIX,
BROTHER, ALL DAY.
ALL RIGHT.
PSSH. YO, LOOK WHO
DECIDED TO SHOW UP.
YOU KNOW, WE ALL BEEN
MISSING YOU ENOUGH
TO START WONDERING.
GIVE ME AND THE
OLD MAN SOME AIR.
RELAX, BRO. GO GET
YOURSELF A PALETA.
COME ON. LET'S TAKE A WALK.
SHE CAME, JUST LIKE YOU WARNED.
ALREADY? DAMN.
FIGURED IT WOULD'VE TAKEN
MORE THAN JUST A FEW HOURS
TO FIND YOU.
WELL, I MADE MYSELF CLEAR
WHEN I TOLD HER TO LEAVE.
MAYBE I GOT CARRIED
AWAY, BUT SHE HEARD ME.
HEY, REMEMBER THAT TIME
WE WENT TO THE
GRAFFITI HALL OF FAME
ABOUT A WEEK AFTER
EVACUATION DAY,
WE HAD THAT PLACE
ALL TO OURSELVES?
YOU'RE TRYING TO COOL ME OFF.
I MEAN, THE WAR WAS
GOING ON ALL AROUND US,
BOMBS GOING OFF, GUNFIRE.
BUT YOU, IT WAS LIKE
YOU GOT SWEPT AWAY
INTO THIS WHOLE OTHER WORLD.
THE WAY I REMEMBER
YOU FEELING, MAN,
THAT'S HOW I'M FEELING TODAY.
PROUD OF YOU, POP.
AND THAT WOMAN THAT
DROPPED IN ON US,
ESA BRUJA MADRE TUYA,
AIN'T GONNA STEP
ON NONE OF THAT.
SHE CHANGES NOTHING.
I MEAN, SO WHAT, SHE SNUCK
IN HERE. AFTER 8 YEARS?
I GIVE HER TWO DAYS BEFORE
THE DMZ EATS HER ALIVE.
YO, LISTEN TO ME,
5 DAYS FROM NOW AFTER THE
VOTE IS ALL SAID AND DONE,
WE'RE GONNA BE FIXING UP
OUR OFFICES IN CITY HALL,
ANNOUNCING MANHATTAN
AS OUR OWN STATE.
AND I WANT YOU TO
LEAD SPANISH HARLEM.
- YEAH, OK.
- "YEAH, OK"? THAT'S IT?
THAT'S ALL YOU GOT FOR ME?
BETTER BRING IT IN
HERE, MAN. LISTEN,
NONE OF THIS SHIT WOULD HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU, MAN.
THAT'S THE TRUTH.
HEY, I'M PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
WE'RE SO CLOSE NOW, YOU KNOW?
YES, SIR.
MY BROTHER SAYS THAT
CANNIBALS HIDE GOLD IN THERE.
YOU GONNA WUSS OUT ABOUT IT? NO.
FUCK IT. LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
WAIT. COME HERE. HOLD MY LEGS.
COME ON.
GO.
WAIT. JUST A LITTLE MORE.
ODI, WE GOT TO GO.
OK.
RUN! COME ON. IN HERE.
HOLY SHIT.
- WAS THAT THEM?
- I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
BUT THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME...
EVEN IF IT WAS FOR
THAT DUMB SHIT.
JUST YOU AND ME, GOD, RIGHT?
- I THINK IT'S AMAZING.
- YEAH.
SHH, SHH, SHH.
HEY, YO, WHAT THE FUCK, LADY?
YOU WANT TO GET US KILLED?
- ODI.
- HI, ZEE.
NICO'S RIGHT. WE
ALL GOT TO BOUNCE.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- WE WERE JUST LEAVING.
I'M GOING TO THE CLOISTERS.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
- GET DOWN.
- WHAT?
YOU CANNOT GO TO
THE CITY OF DIS.
THE WHOLE AREA IS
RUN BY CANNIBALS.
THEY'RE FANATICS.
THEY'LL HAVE YOU ON A SPIKE
BEFORE YOU'RE EVEN DEAD.
IS THERE A WAY AROUND 'EM?
ALONG THE RIVER OR
THROUGH THE PARK.
IF YOU LIKE, I CAN SHOW YOU.
NO FUCKING WAY I'M GOING.
I'll SEE YOU AT CITY HALL.
COME ON.
THAT KIND OF DAY, HUH?
PUT IT ON YOUR TAB?
I'll SETTLE UP.
HEY, I DID A FULL SONG.
I GET A FULL POUR.
- I GOT YOU.
- ALL RIGHT.
MM-HMM.
BARTENDER: JUST
FINISH UP, ALL RIGHT?
WE'RE CLOSING EARLY
FOR THE DEBATE.
SO HE DOES SPEAK.
I'VE SEEN YOU IN HERE 5 TIMES.
NEVER ONCE SAW YOU
TALK TO ANYBODY.
WHO'S BEEN COUNTING?
I NOTICE MY AUDIENCE.
I WANTED TO CHARGE YOU EXTRA FOR
THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME, THOUGH.
I'M GOOD FOR IT.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
CHRISTIAN.
TENNY.
THEY ONLY LET GIRLS
IN TO SEE OONA.
I'll WAIT FOR YOU HERE.
THANKS.
- YOU LOST?
- I NEED TO SPEAK WITH OONA.
COME ANY FURTHER,
JUST KNOW YOU GOT
AT LEAST 3 RIFLES AIMED AT YOU.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS, I
OWE OONA EXACTLY ONE FAVOR.
SHE CALLED, AND I CAME.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE.
IT'S ALL GOOD IF YOU
WANT TO SEND ME AWAY,
BUT I'M NOT COMING BACK.
YOU CAN TELL OONA SHE CAN
FIND A DOCTOR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
STAY HERE.
HI.
HEY. OW! UH!
A LIAR WHO COMES UNARMED.
SNAKE IN THE GRASS
IF I EVER SAW ONE.
IF YOU'RE HERE ABOUT
WATER, YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK.
I DON'T CHANGE THE WATER FLOW
IN THIS CITY FOR ANYBODY.
I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR WATER.
THEN WHAT DO YOU
WANT, FOOD, SHELTER?
I NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
PARCO SENT YOU UP
HERE TO BUY ME OFF?
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK
ABOUT HIS GOLD.
I'M NOT HERE TO SHILL FOR
PARCO. I'M HERE TO DESTROY HIM.
AND I'M NOT FROM THE DMZ.
I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE TWO DAYS.
LOOK, FOR THE PAST 8
YEARS, I'VE BEEN ALL OVER
THE FREE STATES AND
THE UNITED STATES,
AND THAT SHOULD MATTER TO YOU
BECAUSE WHILE YOU'VE BUILT
YOUR WALLED GARDEN HERE,
I KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE
IN CHARGE OUT THERE ARE
JUST BIDING THEIR
TIME TO COME BACK HERE
AND TAKE THIS ALL AWAY FROM YOU.
BUT WE CAN CHANGE
THAT IF WE ACT NOW.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
ZEE.
THE LIGHTS WILL
COME BACK IN A BIT.
HERE. LET ME GET YOUR COAT.
YOU DID ALL THESE?
YEAH.
WHAT'S THAT ONE?
THAT IS THE CITY DURING A STORM.
YOU KNOW, IF THE LIGHTS WERE ON,
YOU COULD SEE THE BLUE
GLOW ACROSS THE BOTTOM.
THAT'S THE STEAM COMING
UP OFF THE PAVEMENT.
AND THE DRIPS...
IS THAT THE RAIN?
THAT'S THE MOMENT RIGHT
BEFORE LIGHTNING STRIKES.
SOFTLY.
WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS HIT,
I WAS DOWN IN THE
MAIN VALVE CHAMBER,
200 FEET BELOW CENTRAL PARK.
ELEVATOR GOT KNOCKED OUT.
I WAS STUCK DOWN
THERE FOR A WEEK.
WHEN I FINALLY CAME UP,
THE FIRST THING I SAW WAS
A TEENAGE GIRL
BEATING UP AN OLD MAN.
IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD
JUST ROBBED A BODEGA.
BUT SHE DIDN'T TAKE HIS FOOD.
SHE TOOK HIS GUN.
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED
WE WERE ALL IN A RACE
TO STOCK UP ON CURRENCY.
MOST PEOPLE WERE
CHASING GUNS AND GOLD,
BUT THEY FORGOT ABOUT WATER,
THE ONE THING EVERYONE
NEEDS TO SURVIVE.
SO I TOOK IT.
- TO LEVERAGE IT?
- TO KEEP IT EQUAL...
AND OUT OF THE HANDS
OF WARLORDS LIKE PARCO.
THAT'S WHY I WANT
TO TAKE HIM DOWN.
HOW?
THROW YOUR WEIGHT BEHIND
WILSON AT THE DEBATE TONIGHT.
LOOK, I HAVE TO DO THIS.
MY SON...
I LOST HIM IN THE EVACUATION.
I GOT KNOCKED OUT, AND
I WOKE UP IN THE U.S.,
BUT MY BOY WAS TRAPPED HERE,
AND THEN HE FOUND HIS FATHER...
PARCO.
YOUR SON IS SKEL?
SKEL IS THE IDEA THAT
PARCO HAS TURNED HIM INTO.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO
BREAK THAT SPELL IS
TO BREAK PARCO HIMSELF.
AND YOU THINK THAT'S
THROUGH WILSON?
I THINK THAT'S THROUGH YOU.
YOU HAVE A VOICE HERE.
THIS IS YOUR HOME.
I'M NOT GONNA BE
STICKING AROUND.
PARCO WILL RULE THIS PLACE THE
ONLY WAY THAT HE KNOWS HOW...
BY FEAR.
IT'S WHAT HE COMES FROM. HE'S
DRIVEN BY IT, BUT I'M NOT.
PARCO, WILSON. IT'S ALL
KABUKI THEATER, SWEETHEART.
HEY. WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
YOU KNOW, YOU SAY
YOU'RE ABOUT EQUALITY,
BUT YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH WATER
FOR THIS KIND OF IRRIGATION.
PEOPLE COME TO THE CLINIC
FOR A SIP OF WATER,
AND YOU'RE JUST WASHING
YOUR HANDS ON DEMAND.
WE'RE ALL LOOKING
OUT FOR OUR OWN.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE
GET TO SIT ON THE SIDELINES.
COME TO THE TABLE.
THERE IS NO TABLE IN THE DMZ.
THEN SOMEONE SHOULD BUILD ONE.
THAT WASN'T THE FIRST
TIME I SAW YOU PLAY.
THE FIRST TIME WAS
ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
OH, YEAH? WHAT'D I PLAY?
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
I JUST REMEMBER
THE WAY YOU FELT...
THE WAY YOU MADE ME
FEEL WHEN YOU SANG.
AND HOW WAS THAT?
WEIGHTLESS.
I IMAGINED THAT THE WORLD
OUTSIDE WAS NORMAL AGAIN
AND THAT AFTER...
I'D TALK TO YOU...
MAYBE ASK YOU OUT.
I USED TO DO THAT.
LIKE, PRETEND AND...
LIVE IN DAYDREAMS.
THEN AFTER A WHILE, IT
STARTED TO, UH, HURT
MORE THAN IT HELPED.
WHEN I SAW YOU TODAY...
JUST FOR A SECOND, I FELT
MYSELF LOOKING FORWARD.
I'M PRETTY SURE I'M
LOOKING FORWARD RIGHT NOW.
CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
OF COURSE.
DO YOU LIVE AT THE CLINIC?
HEY! THIS IS MY DINNER.
OK. COME ON.
I FOUND THIS. I THOUGHT OF YOU.
JUST YOU AND ME, GOD, RIGHT?
GOD BLESS YOU, KID.
THAT WAS REALLY NICE OF YOU.
ARE YOU OK?
MY GRANDPA ALWAYS TOLD ME,
THE BEST WAY TO GO ON
HERE IS TO KEEP MOVING,
BUT... I'M TIRED.
HEY, IT'S NOT THAT I'M
AFRAID OF THE DARK.
JUST THE NIGHT.
I KNOW ROSE DIED.
DO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO STAY?
I WAS GONNA ASK ROSE.
DO YOU WANT TO STAY
WITH ME AT THE CLINIC?
WE'LL BOTH STAY THERE.
GOT IT, BOSS.
THE CROWD'S MOSTLY OURS.
YOU LOOK GOOD.
LET ME HEAR YOU, DMZ!
YOU ALL READY TO
THROW THIS SHIT DOWN?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE ALREADY
GOT ONE FIGHTER TO THE RING.
WE ALL KNOW HIM AS
THE MAVEN OF MULBERRY,
THE KILLER BELOW CANAL
THAT IS WILSON LIN HOLDING
IT DOWN FOR CHINATOWN, BABY!
GIVE IT UP! GIVE IT UP!
THANK YOU FOR COMING. YOUR
FATHER WOULD BE PROUD.
IT'S HAIL TO THE
MOTHERFUCKIN' CHIEF
OF UPTOWN, PARCO DELGADO!
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
LISTEN UP, LISTEN UP.
EACH FIGHTER GETS ONE
MINUTE FOR OPENING MOVES.
THEN WE HIT THE QUESTIONS.
LET'S GET IT.
DAMN. YOU ALL CLEAN UP NICE.
HOW'S EVERYBODY FEELING TONIGHT?
NOW, LOOK, I'M GONNA TRY
TO KEEP THIS REAL BRIEF.
IT'S TOO NICE A NIGHT TO WASTE
ON SOME MOTHERFUCKERS
TALKING POLITICS. AM I RIGHT?
NOW, YOU ALL KNOW
ME, RIGHT? YEAH!
WHO THE FUCK AM I?
PARCO! PARCO...
WHEN YOU SEE ME ON
THE STREET, YOU SAY,
"THAT'S MY O.G." PARCO!
YOU KNOW ME 'CAUSE I
COME FROM RIGHT HERE,
BORN AND RAISED.
YOU KNOW ME BECAUSE YOU
ARE ME, AND I AM YOU.
HOLD UP. LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME MAD.
OUR NAME, DMZ. THAT'S THE
NAME THAT THEY GAVE US.
IT AIN'T OURS.
BUT I'll TELL YOU WHAT
IS, THIS LAND IS OURS.
YEAH!
AND FIRST THINGS FIRST,
WE'RE GONNA MARCH OVER
TO THE LINCOLN TUNNEL,
WHERE THE FSA'S
GOT THEIR SOLDIERS
AND WE'RE GONNA KICK THEM
THE FUCK OFF OUR ISLAND.
YEAH!
WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT
ALL BACK TOGETHER...
UPTOWN, DOWNTOWN, DO IT
AS ONE UNIFIED STATE.
BUT TO DO THAT, WE GOT TO
DO IT SPEAKING IN ONE VOICE.
YOU MEAN YOUR VOICE, RIGHT?
LEADERS LEAD. CALL
IT WHAT YOU WANT.
HE PUTS ON A GOOD SHOW.
I'll GIVE HIM THAT.
BUT LET'S, LET'S GET REAL, HMM?
PARCO'S TALKING ABOUT SOME
GRAND UNIFIED, UNITED STATE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
YOUR FREEDOM...
WHICH IS THE FIRST THING THIS
GUY'S GONNA TAKE FROM YOU.
THE PAST 8 YEARS HAVE
BEEN HARD, NO DOUBT.
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,
YOU HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FREE
WITH THE POWER TO
CALL YOUR OWN SHOTS...
MAKE YOUR OWN LIFE.
BEFORE THE WAR, WE NEVER
KNEW FREEDOM LIKE THIS.
WE WERE MARGINALIZED,
UNSEEN, UNDERVALUED, SHUT OUT!
WELL, GUESS WHAT.
PARCO WANTS TO GO BACK
TO THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS.
BUT IF YOU WANTED A DADDY
TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO,
TO SELL YOU EMPTY PROMISES
OF SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
YOU COULD'VE LEFT WHEN
THE SOLDIERS TOLD YOU TO.
AM I RIGHT?
YOU COULD BE OUT THERE RIGHT
NOW PLEDGING YOUR ALLEGIANCE
TO EITHER OF THESE TWO
AMERICAS, BUT YOU'RE NOT.
YOU CHOSE HERE,
WHERE YOU'RE FREE TO
BUILD YOUR OWN FUTURE.
AND TONIGHT,
IN THIS ELECTION, WE
CAN SECURE THAT LIBERTY,
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M
GONNA DO, FRIENDS.
I'M GONNA PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM.
I'M GONNA DEFEND IT!
YOU DON'T NEED
THIS CLOWN'S VOICE
DROWNING OUT YOUR OWN.
YOU JUST NEED SOMEONE LIKE ME
TO KEEP HIM AND HIS
CRONIES OFF YOUR BACK.
YO, YO, HOLD UP. HOLD UP.
WHO YOU CALLING A CLOWN, MAN?
JUST BECAUSE YOUR
BALD-HEADED, HUMPTY DUMPTY ASS
PUTS ON A SUIT DOESN'T
MAKE YOU GOVERNOR.
COME ON, MAN. THE U.S., THE
FSA, THEY WANT US DIVIDED.
WE WANT TO STAND
UP, WE GOT TO UNITE.
THE ARMIES OUTSIDE AIN'T
GONNA LEAVE US ALONE, FOOL.
CALL THE ROLL, LEN.
WHAT ABOUT QUESTIONS?
WE'RE GONNA SKIP
RIGHT TO THE ANSWERS.
YOU ALL WANT TO SEE WHO WE ARE?
- YEAH!
- THEN LET'S GO.
OK. ROLL CALL FOR THIS
WEEK'S ELECTION. HERE WE GO.
SPANISH HARLEM KINGS,
WHO YOU ENDORSE?
WE PLEDGE TO PARCO.
STUYTOWN, WHERE YOU AT?
STUYTOWN STANDS WITH WILSON!
EL CAMINO MUERTO, SPEAK UP.
CAMINO MUERTO STANDS WITH PARCO.
TWO-FOUR CREW, WHAT IT DO?
PARCO.
BOWERY PROTECTORATE?
THE BOWERY BACKS PARCO DELGADO.
LET'S TAKE BACK OUR CITY.
THAT, TO ME, SOUNDS
LIKE A LANDSLIDE.
HEY, HEY, HEY, HOLD UP.
WE ALSO GOT THE
WESTSIDE KOLLECTIV,
THE CO-OP, MERCER STREET,
UNION SQUARE EAST AND WEST,
THE POWER GRID FOLKS
ON EAST 14th STREET.
SHALL I GO ON?
- IS THAT OONA?
- OONA?
QUIET, MAN. OONA'S HERE...
PARCO STANDS UP HERE
OFFERING YOU PROTECTION?
WELL, I'M HEARING HIM
THREATENING TO TAKE IT AWAY.
THIS ISN'T A POWERFUL
MAN OFFERING POWER.
THIS IS A FEARFUL
MAN STOKING FEAR.
I DON'T LIKE THIS.
I STAY AWAY FROM ALL OF IT,
AND I CAN BECAUSE I HAVE POWER
THESE MEN COULDN'T
EVEN DREAM OF.
I COULD RUN THIS CITY DRY,
AND I COULD STAND HERE AND
DEMAND YOUR LOYALTY IN EXCHANGE.
THAT'S WHAT PARCO WILL
DO, BUT THAT'S NOT ME.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO ENDORSE
EITHER ONE OF THESE MEN.
THERE IS ONE PERSON
THAT I'M INSPIRED BY...
SOMEONE WHO RECOGNIZES
WHAT IS BROKEN
AND CHALLENGES US TO FIX IT.
I CAME HERE TO THROW
MY SUPPORT BEHIND ZEE.
WHERE SHE GOES, I GO.
AND I URGE ALL OF
YOU TO DO THE SAME.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BUT
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME
BECAUSE I'VE GOT 5,000 GALLONS
OF PURIFIED WATER FOR YOU
UNDERNEATH MY FEET,
AND BECAUSE I CAME
FROM THE OUTSIDE
WITH A MESSAGE FOR YOU ALL.
OUT THERE, THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR
WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE HERE...
A CHANCE TO START
OVER, GET IT RIGHT.
THE FUTURE ISN'T ABOUT KINGS.
IT'S ABOUT PARTNERS.
SO I CAME HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU
THAT I AM A PARTNER TO WILSON.
A VOTE FOR WILSON
IS A VOTE FOR YOU...
SO WE CAN USE ALL OUR VOICES
TO BUILD A NEW KIND OF POWER.
SO RAISE YOUR GLASS AND GET
YOUR FILL OF PURIFIED WATER.
THIS WILL BE RUNNING
FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS.
