Chase (2019) - full transcript

A hitman must prove his loyalty to his mentor and best friend, while his girlfriend wants to leave the business behind them.

Hey, Chase,

let me tell you something, man.

When I got out

of the shower tonight,

I used a product

I have never used before

called Gold's Dawn

Medicated Body Rub.

It feels like my entire

ass crack is smoking a Newport!

I think

I hear it cracking right now!

Man, my dick

and nuts are starring,

and it's on your

Peppermint Patty commercial.

- Oh, Jesus Christ!

- Nah, I tell you, kid,

whoo-ah,

I don't get no respect at all.

My dick's so small,

I can piss on my balls.

Whoa!

Turn the subways, Kevin!

Whoo-ah.

Whoo-ah. Now we're back

to Al Pacino again.

We're back

to Al Pacino, baby.

Of course,

Denzel Washington,

Al Pacino, whatever it is.

Jesus Christ!

Listen, I get in

a three-finger stance,

and blitz a fat bitch

and fuck the hell

outta her, man.

You ever fucked a fat broad?

Jesus Christ!

- It smelled like...

- As fat as you, or?

- Shit, fatter.

- Fatter?

- Fatter!

- Fatter than you?

I love pussy that smell

like day-old deli, nigga.

How did you

get them upstairs?

Easy! I lured them

with chicken nuggets.

Yo, you remember

that time we went to Cabo, man,

for the weekend,

and we got fucking annihilated?

We ended up fucking

that entire village.

Dude, that was fucking awesome.

Yeah, because you guys

were in trouble, that's why.

- Yeah, you know...

- As always, right?

You know

how we roll, man.

Dude, have some more drink,

baby!

I'm trying to drink,

but you're like

continuously talking

- about black lives, blue lives,

- Hey, listen...

white lives, Chinese lives...

You supply these

great fucking cigars, man.

I'm on a natural

fucking high, man.

Of all the years

I've been knowing you,

I've always wanted to ask,

you've ever been

with a Black woman?

I plead

the fifth, my friend,

I plead the fifth!

Hey, listen, man,

I can't tell you how many times

I've snuck into your house

and watched you sleep.

Aw, it's so cute

when you wear the pillow

- between your legs.

- What?

Jesus!

How many times

I wanted to spoon you

in the middle of the night.

- Oh, god!

- I think, here,

- this is dawg, and then...

- That's... I think, I think...

You should have some more.

Friendship.

"A state of mutual trust

and support between two people."

According to the dictionary.

You're not listening

to me, brother.

I told you a thousand times.

You gotta take 'em

to a public place.

If she doesn't look good,

you're just gonna walk around

a little bit.

Don't go in anywhere,

'cause you gonna have to end up

spending a lot of money.

I don't know!

Give it 30 or 40 minutes.

Come up with an excuse.

Something like, I don't know,

you have to work in the morning,

your dog is sick

or something like that.

If you're stupid horny,

obviously,

you start at your place,

bag it and fuck.

I mean,

it's kinda simple, really.

if you think about it.

You're not listening.

I told you

a thousand times, man.

You gotta keep looking

at those pictures

a little longer.

Don't swipe so goddamn fast.

Hey, listen, uh...

Let me call you back

in a bit, okay?

Hey.

- C?

- Yeah.

I thought you'd be taller.

Is that a problem?

No, I just figured

you'd be a little more...

seasoned, that's all.

Well, I figured

you being something other

than a Payless fucking suit

two sizes too small.

Are we gonna have

this conversation like this,

or you're gonna invite me in?

Oh, no, sorry.

Please. Please come in.

Sparkle, quiet!

Uh, sorry about the, the mess.

Why don't you...

Yeah. Yeah, have a seat.

You're not allergic to dogs,

are you?

I'm fine.

Your dog's name is Sparkle?

Yeah.

She's a real sweetheart.

Hey.

Shut up, you bitch.

Uh, so, can I get you something?

Coffee, water...

I'm good.

Okay.

Uh, I'm a little nervous.

Hey, hey, hey, just relax, okay?

Take a deep breath.

Yeah? All right?

Let's get this done

quickly here, okay?

A little tip for the road.

Take out the trash,

clean up the plates,

and get some fucking

air freshener.

'Cause it smells like

four-day-old horseshit in here.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I had to take out

a couple of extra...

Hey!

I don't care, okay?

Get the money,

show it to me in full,

or I'm walking.

Let's keep this professional,

shall we?

Look, I, I got it.

All of it.

Well, it shouldn't be a problem

showing it to me, then.

I just thought it'd be half

at first.

All right, listen.

You listening?

You listening to me?

- Yeah.

- You're looking at me, right?

Yeah? Okay, good.

I don't fucking care

what you think.

I want you to show me

the money in full

in about 11 seconds.

Or I'm gonna spray a masterpiece

of your fucking brains

on this wall over there.

- You got that?

- Yeah.

- Capisce?

- Yeah, okay, okay.

No problem,

just give me a minute then.

I got it all.

Fucking bullshit.

Hm.

I, I got it, all of it.

Take it out,

skim through it.

Hey, uh...

Aren't you gonna count it?

It's about right

for the amount.

Put it on the table.

- All right.

- And sit down.

Right.

Uh, say, can I ask you

a question

without you getting upset?

Sure.

Why do you get all of it

right away...

when you haven't even

done it yet?

Because I'm not coming

fucking back here, am I?

I take it, get it done,

and that's that.

How do I know

you're not gonna just,

take it and not do it?

Remind me.

You and Slider

are linked to this, correct?

- Yeah. Slider.

- Yeah.

You know how he got his name?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

So why on earth

would I fucking blow you over?

- Good point.

- Yeah, it's a good point.

Yeah.

Hey.

Told you over the phone,

I have very few rules.

Set my base price.

Double for women,

triple for kids.

But I get it done.

Meet in person one time,

and that's it.

I collect up front,

and you never contact me again.

I don't do repeat customers,

so you choose wisely.

Might do your dog in

for free, though.

Oh, how I do know

when you got it done?

Just watch the fucking news.

You'll see.

Yeah, oh...

It's okay, Sparkle.

You're taught

your whole life to be passionate

about what you love to do.

That if you give it your all,

or believe in it,

you'll be the best.

Well, I say,

stick that up your ass.

What you need to do

is find something

you're naturally good at,

then don't care about it.

I'm talking literally,

not give a fuck.

Think of it this way.

If you're too in your head

while fucking somebody,

you don't perform

as well, right?

Well same thing to your craft.

You worry so much

about performing,

that of course, you fuck it up.

It needs to be effortless.

Seamless.

You can't think about

who they are.

Do they have kids?

Maybe they're a good person.

None of that bullshit.

Get paid...

...get it done, and move on.

There are only

two people I really care about.

I guess you can call that

the chink in my armor.

They're also the two people

that ever made me feel anything.

So I kept them around.

Oh, my god.

Don't scare me like that.

Blair is a lot like me

in all the worst ways.

Oh, oh, I see.

Just a slightly better version.

Micah is nothing like me...

...and I want

to keep it that way.

Where's Mommy?

I told myself

after that,

my only rule

was never to orphan a kid.

I'm open

to anything else, but...

that look Micah gave me

and the first time I saw him,

will always haunt me.

Now, before you think

I'm a total piece of shit,

I actually provide for them

pretty well.

I take the little of what I need

and give them the rest.

I never thought of myself

as a family man,

much less a father, but...

I guess the chips fell

where they did.

They're my only liability.

The only thing I like more

than my work.

I could go

to any meeting

and feel in control.

But there's only one person

that tried to upstage me

every time.

The only other person

you could say

I care anything about...

is Miles.

Shit! Come on C, Come on, C.

I met Miles

in foster care

and he helped me leave

with him at 15.

Unlike me...

Miles always knew

what he wanted to do.

And it was nothing legal.

We were

always competitive

with everything that we did.

We knew each other's strengths,

weaknesses,

and how to exploit them.

Miles got pleasure out of

cerebrally mind-fucking anybody.

He reinvented both of us,

and we never looked back.

He was precise about it all.

Even to this day, I...

I don't even know

what his real name is.

He gave me the name Chase

when we were kids.

Then he wanted to be Miles.

Always running, both of us.

Miles was an ace

at everything he did,

except for women.

He's either really bad with them

or just doesn't care.

That's why I try

to give him advice,

and then when I can,

but, with him...

...he tries to give me advice

on everything else.

If you think I didn't give

a shit about anything,

Miles really doesn't give

a fuck.

When I'm not getting referrals

on my own,

Miles finds me work on hits.

We're a well-worked machine.

There's only one thing

that torches his balls about me,

and he brings it up

every time we meet.

Oh, look at this shit.

- 'Sup?

- Brother's on time,

but the white boy late.

Welcome to the party, son.

You know, during

the Obama administration,

tardiness was a big no-no.

This Trump shit

got you fucked up, man.

Hey, look, word to the wise,

in the future,

if you want me to sit

and wait around for you forever,

man, don't pick a spot

in the fucking Valley, man.

Look around.

I'm the only nigga in here.

Jesus, fucking crybaby, man.

Stop sending me

to fucking Chink town, then.

How about that, huh?

Every time I go down

to that fucking shit hole

it's like, they're still

recovering from Nagasaki.

You racist-ass white boy.

Shit, you got paid, though,

didn't you?

What difference does it make

where the place is from?

At the end of the day,

paper is paper, right?

Paper is paper.

Look, have I ever

steered you wrong

with one of my leads, man?

I can think

of a couple of times.

Oh, you gonna bring

that shit up?

Yeah.

Well, you were gonna

bring it up anyway, right?

Thought I beat you to it.

Look, man, the only reason

why it was a problem

is because you made it

your business.

Come on, man,

don't get mad at me

'cause you caught feelings,

nigga.

Ah. Fuck, man.

Let's not fucking talk

about this shit, okay?

No, no.

We gonna talk about this.

Because up to this point,

you've been ice-cold

about everything but this.

So, what that says to me

is that, obviously,

there's another chink

in your armor.

Besides the fact that you let

two motherfuckers in

that you're not even supposed

to give a fuck about.

Well, they shouldn't

concern you.

- It's never affected my work.

- Well, what if it does?

I don't want you

going soft on me, man.

I don't ever want you

to go soft on me.

Ever!

I don't give a fuck

if it's from two years ago,

you go soft on me,

I'm gonna make sure, Chase,

and I'd do everything

in my power...

What?

You're gonna doing fucking what?

Are you guys ready to order

or do you need a minute?

Two minutes.

Two minutes.

That's a bad bitch right there.

Look, Chase,

you're my man, 50 grand and all.

Official tissue, baby.

I ain't managed nobody better.

But don't go thinking

for one fucking second,

that nothing is irreplaceable.

You heard me?

What are you trying

to say, Miles?

There it is.

See? There it is.

That coal in your eyes,

that ice in your veins.

Keep that shit.

Don't ever let

that go, man!

What makes you think I am?

Look, just let me finish.

Remember what I told you?

You know how motherfuckers

end up done in this business?

They get emotional.

Whether it was pride, or just,

straight out giving a fuck.

It's what deads 'em.

Do you wanna go to prison? Huh?

You wanna end up

some fuck buddy?

You wanna die, Chase?

Look, I suggest you remove

that fucking conscience.

Whatever else you got going on

in your head,

put it to bed.

And if you do that shit,

well, you know...

zero slippage, man.

One more fucking minute, please!

Great.

How about this?

You stop telling me

how to do my fucking job,

and I stop giving you advice

on how to avoid porkers

and chicks with dicks.

How does that sound? Huh?

Aah, motherfucker!

Got me feeling like Denzel

in Training Day.

Hey. Hey, Chase.

Miles always brought up

that vulnerable shit to me.

But I think this time,

something stuck with him.

Through the laughter

and joking,

something had laden me, as well.

I might not

have known it, but...

from that point on,

Miles didn't trust me.

I'll give you the finger!

So, we're just gonna have to,

have you sign a few pages here.

After Blair's dad

passed away

a couple of years back,

she inherited

a good amount of money.

At least enough to get her by.

Now, I know

you're asking yourself,

why the fuck would I keep doing

what I'm doing

if Blair is already set?

The point is,

it's my passion.

You can't quit that shit easily

if you enjoy doing it.

Care or not care,

I'm good at what I do.

And when you're good

at something,

you keep doing it.

For validation, for respect.

Blair's passion was painting.

Anything artistic, she owned it.

When she's not taking care

of Micah,

or me, for that matter,

she's in her studio.

For me,

I couldn't tell a fucking

Van Gogh from a Van Damme.

But she's recently

been teaching Micah

a thing or two about it.

Which I dig.

- Hey, champ.

- Hey.

To be honest,

it's getting harder and harder

to come home for them

after a day's work.

And maybe Miles was right.

He saw something in me changing.

See...

...Blair knows a little

of what I do, but,

not everything.

She's actually cool with it.

'Cause she thinks, first,

everybody I do are bad,

and second, that I'm distancing

myself from Miles.

Let's just say the contempt

between them is pretty mutual.

They only met

a handful of times

since I've been

with Blair, but...

that was enough,

and they both have their reasons

for hating each other.

- Whatcha got there?

- Mmm.

Oh, my god, it's done.

- Oh, my god, I love that.

- What do you think?

- Yeah?

- I mean, you truly captured

my true form here, huh?

The next time

I need an ego boost, I...

I won't look in the mirror,

I'll look straight at this.

I think you're better in person.

You think so?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, you're definitely

the winner.

- Oh.

- Mm-hm.

I'm glad you liked it.

- Where are you going?

- Hey.

Hmm? Ow!

- That's cheating!

- Hey, it works.

Mmm, you make noises like that,

you tempt me into a good time.

Oh, babe,

you can't say that while I'm...

What are you doing?

You know I wanna distract you,

don't you?

Thought you were ice-cold?

See, nothing can phase you.

Nothing!

- Who is that?

- Just let it ring.

Just ignore it.

You know, for someone so clever,

you really don't think

I know who M is?

See, this is why

I don't like you down here

when I'm working out.

What does that have to do

with anything?

Why is that dickbag calling you?

I thought you said

you were cutting ties with him

and doing your own thing?

It's not my fault

he's calling me.

Well, I thought you said

you were meeting up with him

to tell him off?

What happened to that?

Look, it's not easy cutting ties

with somebody you've known

since you were 15, okay?

I know Miles can be tough,

but the guy has looked out

for me since day one.

And never fucked me over,

not once.

Whatever my issues

with him are, I...

You guys were tight

for a long time.

Wait, but you said it yourself.

The past few years,

you have felt chained

to a set of rules

and circumstances.

See, regardless

of even meeting me,

and bringing Micah along,

what's the end goal here?

We don't need him, Chase.

You are too good at what you do

to be pegged in or limited.

I know he sees me as a divider,

but what I'm trying to do,

is release you.

It's not all like that, though.

I mean, his tough set of rules

have kept me alive this long.

I think you're just tricking

yourself into thinking that.

Well, how would you know?

You don't know

the sacrifices he made

to get me through this shit.

Okay, you're right,

I don't know it all.

So why don't you let me in

a little bit?

This whole thing

has been brewing for a while,

and I feel like I'm stuck

in the fucking middle.

You know, if it was just me,

and you drove me to the edge,

I could just leave.

But we got a kid involved,

Chase.

That's our priority.

Yeah, I'll tell you that much.

I mean,

the last time I met with him...

...something was off.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I mean, it was nothing obvious.

It's just we talked about

the same shit

we always talk about, but...

I just felt something like...

he looked at me differently.

How?

Well...

you know how I always tell you

Miles has the best poker face

I've ever seen?

I think he picked up on me,

either being late,

or bringing you

and Micah up first.

But...

Why would you do that?

I mean,

he always brings you guys up,

one way or another.

I mean, he always usually

jokes about it, but...

it's the seriousness about it.

Like he's trying to...

peel back my eyes

and get into my head,

make sure to leave you guys.

So, why bring it up first?

And why be late?

You're never late?

I know.

That's what's fucking

with me right now.

I guess that's what they mean

by leaving breadcrumbs.

What do you mean?

Well, maybe I want him

to know something.

That things are changing.

You need to let him go.

He's a sociopath,

and a master manipulator.

He can't do what you do,

so he uses you like a pawn.

Like, why do you have it out

for him so much?

Have I ever asked you to stop

with what you're doing?

- Have I?

- No.

Do I ever ask you

any specific questions?

- No.

- Okay, so trust me,

like I trust you.

Miles is no good to you.

He may have helped you

in the past,

but now, he is dragging you.

I know how you feel,

because you bring him home

from work with you every night.

He prefer you stay

the cold machine you were

when I first met you.

Easier for him to control.

You know why he doesn't like me?

Because I've helped thaw you

the fuck out.

Bet if it was up to him,

he'd have me doing kids,

the elderly saints, anybody,

without any remorse.

Hey.

You get rid of the bad, baby.

And I know a lot of women

would think I'm nuts

for rationalizing it that way,

but I see the good in it.

Hey, you're a cleaner.

Let's talk about this

some other time, okay?

I mean

I'm not deflecting,

I promise we'll talk about it,

but let's just sleep over it.

Let's get you

cleaned up, anyway.

I could use it, huh?

Yeah, I think

it's shower time for both of us.

Well, let's do it.

Oh, I love you, baby.

I love you, too.

Fuck!

I told you, Miles!

Didn't I tell you?

I fucking knew it.

We gotta respond.

You heard them.

I swear to god.

If we had put bugs

in any other room in that house,

we would have found this out

months ago.

They never gave a fuck

about your interest at all,

neither of them.

Look.

Just let me do him.

Let me do both of them.

Fuck, I'll even add the kid.

Stop, Miles!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You know you didn't have

to fucking do that.

Hey, Burke,

Control your bitch, nigga.

Bitch nigga!

I think now that I got

y'all's fucking attention...

Can I have the floor?

You really didn't need

to do that.

Hey, stop, okay?

Hey.

Man the fuck up!

Oh, fuck.

See, I'm an equal opportunity

employer.

See, the same beautiful gesture

I just gave your man Burke here,

I can give to you, Lola.

I don't give a fuck if you are

a part of the pussy species.

Yeah, noted.

Look...

I know how bad

both of y'all wanna handle it.

But I'm gonna tell y'all

how I wanna handle it.

Chase is not to be touched.

At all!

But, Miles, why would...

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You look like

you still got one good hand

that's begging

to be fucked with.

What you want is smoke.

Good.

Look, I've been knowing Chase

since forever.

Longer than I've known you two.

I know what I heard,

I know what we heard.

But I'm telling you,

that's not Chase.

What do you mean that's not him?

Yeah, we all fucking heard him,

we know what he sounds like.

Lola, check your man

before he checks himself out!

Burke, just shut

the fuck up, all right?

Just shut up.

Look, I've been fucking

with Chase since forever,

I validate the man.

Shit. I've always respected him

and I've never had to stop him.

Yeah, we break

each other's balls sometimes,

but shit, that's par

for the course.

As far as the game go...

...that motherfucker

is a maverick.

Miles, I mean this

with total respect.

I get it, C has been down.

But I'm the only female here,

I have to say it,

the bitch is fucking

with his head.

- You see that, right?

- Yeah, I know.

First time he told me about her,

I knew it.

That bitch put life in his eyes.

She makes him happy.

Fuck that.

Look.

Before I can't get treated

or I pass out,

I'd just like to know,

what are we gonna do about it?

Yeah, since we can't touch him,

what's the plan?

Since you have it all

figured out.

Huh, Miles?

I never could sleep

really well.

Blair's advice to falling asleep

wasn't any of that

counting sheep bullshit.

She said to close your eyes,

and imagine Micah

on your shoulders,

and you carrying him.

She said to get a rhythm going.

Imagine Micah putting his hands

over your eyes

and you beginning

to walk backwards,

completely blind,

and trusting Micah

with each step.

A slow pacing of each step,

backwards and focusing on that,

while my son shades me

from the world

was the way it would work.

I always loved the image,

but to this day, it hasn't.

Yo, what's up?

You ready

for the big one, C?

Miles never gave me

a hit like this last minute.

So I already knew

something was up.

What do I care, though?

He'd always pull through for me

and the money was good.

It would be a rush

like none other

every time he would give me

an assignment.

I can't explain it.

But my body goes

into another mode.

Always ready.

Just keep looking, man,

just keep looking.

Uh, you go high,

I'll go low.

Probably not gonna find it

up here.

Let's just get

the fuck out of here.

Dude, get the fuck

outta here, come on.

I need a fucking drink.

When are they gonna be home?

Dude, no one's been

home for a week, let's go.

What, you a fucking troll?

What the fuck?

No!

C'mon babe, pick up! Pick up!

Pick up! Pick up!

Pick up! C'mon!

Blair!

Babe, listen,

call me back as soon as you

get this message, all right?

I'm on my way back home

right now,

I'll explain everything

when I get there.

Just, call me

as soon as you can, all right?

Fuck!

Blair?

Baby?

Blair?

- Fuck!

- Chase.

Baby?

Okay, come here, come here.

Sit up slowly, slow, slow, slow.

Take it easy.

Easy, easy, easy. Take it easy.

Let me have a look.

Let me have a look.

Oh, fuck. I gotta get you

to a hospital, baby.

- What happened? What happened?

- They...

- They...

- What? Huh?

Micah...

They took Micah.

I never did hospitals

too well.

Not that I didn't have

the right ID's and papers

to keep my nose clean.

I just never had a reason

to be here.

Professionally,

I never left anybody injured.

If anything happened

to me personally, I...

this would be

the last place I'd go.

You can come back

and see her now.

I guess Blair was that

one exception for me being here.

The sympathy card

came through for me.

I'd rather be hunting

all of them down right now,

than playing husband.

But in this case,

I needed answers, and fast.

You look worse than I do.

Babe, you know

I'm gonna ask you, right?

And we don't have much time.

And it's only gonna help get me

to Micah faster, all right?

You're gonna have

to tell me everything.

There were two of them.

It all happened so fast.

Did you see

what they looked like?

I was half asleep

when they came in.

I was totally disoriented.

They, they rushed me, and they,

they pointed my head down

and they told me

that they'd kill me

if I looked up at them.

Did you recognize their voices?

I mean, anything?

Did it sound like Miles?

You really think he would do

something like this?

I wouldn't have thought so

before, but...

all options

are on the table now.

Did either of them

sound like him?

No, it was a man

and a woman, I think.

That's what

it sounded like.

The guy pinned me down,

and he pushed my face

to the side

so I couldn't

look straight up at him.

I clocked the fucker

in the face once,

but he only

pinned me down harder.

Gave me a couple

of cracks to knock me out.

All I remember is the other one

just kept laughing

the whole time while he did it.

And then they stormed out

and I heard a door open.

And I heard murmured screams...

from Micah getting dragged out.

I tried my hardest,

I tried to crawl out there,

and I tried to do something,

but I was too weak,

and then you came.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

You don't have to go on, okay?

I got everything I need.

No one's gonna hurt you anymore.

No one, you got that?

I'm gonna take care of this.

I need you to do

two things for me.

What?

First, I need you to find Micah.

And then I need you

to kill them.

All of them.

Done.

I'm gonna be back

in a little bit

to check on you, all right?

Just don't tell the cops

anything. Nothing, all right?

Make up something

about the bruises, all right?

- Yeah?

- Okay.

I'm on it.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

It'll be over

before you know it.

I guess more of me

rubbed off on Blair

than I thought.

She wanted all of them killed.

No long drawn out justice,

just did in.

Now most people would just want

to cut the head off,

'cause that's where

the source is,

and it would end.

But I'm going

for all of the limbs,

every last one.

And I know exactly

where to start.

You ready for this?

- Ready?

- Yeah!

Get the fuck outta here!

Hey, you won!

This is funny...

- Hey! Hey! Hey!

- What?

Don't touch

my fucking chips, man.

You see that guy?

He's a cheap ass

fucking guy.

Hey, man, I need,

I need some chips.

- Que la verga, ey!

- I won, I won anyway.

Fucking two pair.

What's up? What's up, bitches!

Two pair? No, no, no.

- You lose!

- Ah!

Do you see these cards?

- You be cheating, Hector.

- Get outta here.

I got something better, Hector.

Whatcha got?

Whatcha got?

- Where is it?

- Well, watch this.

- Flush, what's up?

- That's not bad.

- That's not bad.

- Whatcha got, Burke?

It's all right.

Hey, you ready for this?

- Are you ready for this?

- What's up, Burke?

Full House, bitches.

You're all fucking cheating.

Hey, Franco,

can you go get some beers?

Hey, hey, hey. Franco, Franco,

before you go, man.

- What's up?

- Be fucking honest with me.

Does Burke

look like a girl to you?

Of course, he does.

Look at him.

Oh, yeah, shopping at Baby Gap.

- Get the fuck outta here!

- Good one, Franco.

Oh! It's party time.

Hey, Burke! Hey, Burke!

Your little sister called,

she wants her shirt.

What's wrong with my shirt?

It looks like my shirt,

you're fucking stealing my shit!

I was about to say that, Jess.

It doesn't fit you,

so it's clearly mine.

Oh, fuck you, guys.

Besides, it doesn't matter.

Because look

at this excessive injury.

Who stabbed you, Burke?

Who stabbed you, man?

You know what, Burke,

use your other hand

and start jerking off

like you always do.

- Yeah!

- Fuck you, guys.

Who needs it anyways?

Lola got me.

- Sure!

- Oh, sure!

- Right!

- Yeah.

You know what,

every time we see you,

you're more fucked up.

- What is this?

- Hey. Hey, hey.

- What is this shit?

- Watch it, watch it,

it's liability, it's the job.

What... why,

when Lola comes around

and she don't look like that,

you do?

- Right.

- She's kicking your ass!

Yeah, you know what, Burke?

your girl got her shit together

more than you.

Hey, you know what?

Fuck all, y'all, like,

these are battle wounds,

bitches,

- where's yours at?

- Battles?

Ah, we know how to do our job.

- That's right.

- No one else got 'em.

No battle wounds on us,

except this battle wound.

Hey, you know what,

I gotta use the shitter.

Fuck!

We're in the middle of a hand.

What? I gotta take a shit,

man, sorry.

No wonder you smell

like shit, bro.

Que la chingada,

cabron!

Watch that man, jigsaw.

Don't make

a fucking mess in there.

- Fuck you!

- The only one

with a mess, is you.

Look at this shit.

Oh, fuck!

Damn it!

No, No, No. Burke, Jessie,

fuck the bullshit.

I'm going in, you know what?

'Cause I gotta fucking piss.

And Hector's taking too much

of a long shit.

Brilliant play, you know.

And did you even see

what that guy ate?

- Who? Shithead?

- Yeah.

No.

I feel sorry

for that toilet, though.

- Bruh!

- I'll have you clean it, cabron.

Cabrón. Cabrón.

Fucking white boy.

What's the difference?

Oh, my god.

"What's the difference?"

Yo, Hector, what are you doing

to my shitter, man?

- Well, go help him.

- You go check it out.

Dude,

what the fuck, man?

What, why me, puto?

'Cause you're the first one

who brought it up.

- Well get up, puto!

- Fuck you, Burke.

That sucks, man.

You better arm your shit.

Get up!

I'm gonna call him.

- Hey, Hector?

- I took your money.

Hector, what's up man?

Don't even

think about it.

C'mon, honey.

I know you won't clip me.

Not after all

we've been through.

Huh?

Did you, uh...

You ever tell Blair about us?

You know, that...

one little slip you had?

You know...

we could, um...

we could have another.

You can decide.

I wouldn't tell.

Neither will I.

You fucking cocksucker!

Really?

Burkey, Burkey, Burkey.

I always knew

you were a dumbass motherfucker,

but really?

Huh? Going after my own?

'Cause Miles put you up to it?

Who says Miles

put me up to anything?

Ah, c'mon, man!

Everyone knows

you're too fucking stupid

to pull anything off

like that yourself.

Huh?

And how about this, huh?

What's this? A fucking pimple?

Lola during foreplay?

Everyone knows Lola

has bigger balls than you.

Hey, fuck you!

Why don't you just

get it over with, you bitch?

Oh, it's gonna happen.

Don't worry.

I mean, the question is,

if it's gonna be fast

and painless

or slow and agonizing?

It's really all up to you, yeah?

How about we do

a little Q and A session?

How about that, yeah?

If it goes nice and easy...

...I'm fine.

If it doesn't,

we're gonna have

my little version of fun.

I got all the time

in the world.

I wouldn't say that,

with Micah gone and all.

Ah! Fuck!

See, I didn't like that.

Did I, huh? Huh?

Ah, shit!

But let me make something clear.

If I don't like something,

I'm gonna make damn sure

you don't like something either.

And we can go back and forth,

back and forth,

but I promise you,

I'm winning the fucking game.

What do you want to know?

Three things.

Where's Micah, where's Miles...

and where's Lola?

If we have time.

Don't you fucking touch Lola,

you dickweed!

Swing and miss with that one!

- Ah!

- Huh?

I'd be more concerned

about what's gonna happen

to you, bitch.

You wanna try answering

the other two?

You know what?

You can go fuck yourself, Chase!

Yeah, that's right.

I'm sick of being pushed around

- by you, by Miles.

- Oh.

You can go

fuck yourself, asshole!

Do your worst!

I ain't telling you shit!

What are you doing, man?

What the hell

are you doing in there?

Fuck, what the hell

are you doing, man?

Don't make me shit my pants.

That's too much, man.

I won't.

But let me explain how

I'm gonna use this little thing.

See, if you take this,

and you put it

just underneath the fingernail,

just like that,

and you tap it at the end

with a little bit of force,

like a hammer.

You'd be surprised

how easily it slips off.

Almost seamless.

Quite painful for you, though.

I mean, mind you,

it's nothing compared

to the pain index

of the toenails.

It'll have you begging

to all things holy,

and wanting to do

just about anything else,

but that.

Well, let's have a go then,

shall we?

Get the fuck off me!

Get the fuck off me!

Burke held up

better than I thought,

but I got most of the info

I needed from him.

I mean, not all, of course,

'cause Miles

is smarter than that

and wouldn't tell that asshat

just anything.

I mean, the only thing

fucking with me right now,

was that Miles knew me so well.

He would anticipate my moves.

Luckily for me, though,

I knew how he operated, too.

So how did I know you

was gonna go after Burke first?

Why are you doing this?

Actually,

I should be thanking you, Chase.

You did me a solid.

I don't even like

that motherfucker.

So, who's next? Lola?

Gibson?

Me?

Nah, that ain't your style.

You like to work

your way up from the bottom.

Besides it don't make much sense

to eat the dessert

if you ain't tackled

the main meal yet, right?

Why now? Hmm?

After all the shit

we've been through, huh?

Why try to take me down now?

Take you down?

Shit. To the contrary, baby.

Correct you, maybe.

But take you down?

Oh, no, no, no.

See, Chase, you're one

of the best to ever do it.

Besides, if I wanted

to take you down,

I'd have put a hit on your ass

that night after the job.

Well, what the fuck

does that mean?

To show you,

you don't need them.

Who?

The girl

and the kid, nigga.

I'll fucking kill you, Miles,

you fucking asshole!

See, man,

that's that emotional bullshit

I'm talking about, man.

C'mon with that whiny shit.

Look, I need you to go back

to being a cold,

careless motherfucker

that I know you to be.

It's not me anymore.

Oh, but you will be.

What the fuck

do you mean by that?

Yeah, Micah is turning

into a real Picasso right now.

I think he gets it

from his mother.

Actually you know what,

scratch that,

the way he plays it safely

in the lines...

I know he gets it

from his daddy.

He's with you right now?

Oh, yeah.

We're actually having a little

bit of a ball right now.

Micah is coloring his ass off.

He's starting to feel like

a fucking son to me.

I'm gonna fucking

kill you, Miles.

I'm telling you that right now.

That's a negative, Chase.

See, the only thing Micah wants

is for his parents

to come home from vacation.

Now, how long

you stay on that vacation,

that's entirely up to you,

brother.

What the fuck

do you want from me?

What do I want from you?

What do I want from you?

What do I want from you?

I want you to leave them.

I want you

to leave them both.

Look, Micah and Blair

can reunite

and move wherever the fuck

they wanna move.

But I want my Chase

where I can see him.

I want the real Chase,

no distractions.

What the fuck

is your deal, Miles? Huh?

I mean, what the fuck

is your problem?

I mean, do you have a fucking

hard-on for me or something?

Is that what it is?

It's never affected

my fucking work, not once.

They're fucking separate.

I mean you're the one who turned

this fucking shit upside down.

Look, Chase, I like

to keep my investment in check.

I told you, the people

that make it in this business

are the ones epithetic to know

what's going on around them.

That's the job.

Chase, look, man, you want

to get your dick wet? Hm?

You want to fuck hoes

every other night?

You have at it.

But I know

this catching emotion shit

and trying to keep it moving,

that's what's fucking with you.

When you stop to think about it,

I'm actually doing you a solid.

One day.

Pardon me?

Give me one day,

and I'll think about

all of this.

In the meantime,

you don't fucking touch Micah.

And I mean not at all.

If I fucking sense any

of your fucking dogs hunting him

or Blair or me for that matter,

I'm gonna fucking come to you,

and I'm gonna fucking

fuck you up

like you've never been

fucked up before, you got that?

Cool.

But know this,

you break off any more branches

on my operation,

I'm gonna make sure Micah

turns into an orphan.

Real fucking quick.

I'm not afraid to die, Chase.

Are you?

I thought you could use

another one.

Thanks.

Burke

didn't make it back, did he?

Died en route.

Apparently, Chase, uh,

really did a number on him.

Well, shit, man. You know Chase.

Hell, I wouldn't expect

anything less.

You know, Lola and Burke

actually sent some meth heads

over there

for Chase to take out.

Cheers, Burke.

Stupid motherfucker.

Ah. And cheers to the living.

Nostrovia.

Do you really think

he's going to give it all up,

and do what you want?

Nah, not at all.

Then, what are we going to do?

Nothing.

This next move right here,

is Chase's move.

I can think of a few things

to help expedite the choices.

Does Lola know?

Hey, Serg, do me a favor.

Next time,

bring me a White Russian.

Speaking of which,

how's this Gomez shit going?

I've been working on him

all day.

He finally talked.

Want me to let him go?

After all them hours?

Man, fuck that.

Bring his ass in here.

Here's what's left of him.

Goddamn, Serg!

Shit. You put the paws

on that nigga.

You told me to tune him up.

What the fuck

you waiting on, then?

Put that

Soviet power to good use.

Make that motherfucker

meet God.

Oh, I bet you they wished

they'd built that wall now.

Where's my boy, Chase?

Our boy is coming home soon.

I'm on it.

I don't like that answer.

Well, what am I supposed to say?

I want you to answer me

honestly, okay?

Were you doing a hit for Miles

the night I was attacked?

You're never gonna change,

are you?

Not for me, not for Micah.

It's never gonna end, is it?

I don't know.

If there's one thing

that's harder

than sleeping in general for me,

it's sleeping

on a flimsy ass couch.

I guess Blair was in her right

to banish me downstairs anyway.

The only reason

why I'm not out there

fucking up Miles'

whole operation right now,

is 'cause I'm trying

to keep my word for a change.

And see if he keeps his.

Maybe he was right after all,

this life isn't for a family.

Maybe in a weird way,

he was trying

to help me all along.

And Blair and Micah

would be better off without me.

Sometimes I have so much

insomnia,

I can't tell whether

I'm actually sleeping or awake.

Blair?

Blair?

Ah! Fuck!

Shit!

You see here,

this is where I knew

I was fucked.

Shit!

Ah, fuck me!

That was just

to get your attention.

Not a bad throw for doing that

while I hold your bitch, huh?

Miles sent you, huh?

He didn't need to.

All he did was tell me

what you did to Burke,

and I volunteered.

Careful, bitch.

You don't want me to slip.

Come on, Lola, please.

Just let her go.

I'm telling you.

Miles is playing all of us.

And his goal is for all

of us to kill each other

so he can clean house.

You know

he's calculated like that.

You knew these chain of events

would play out like this.

So, what? You kill Burke

and I'm just supposed to eat it?

No.

Look, how about

we swinger this shit? Huh?

You do my man,

I do your woman.

Careful Chase, I'm serious,

don't take another fucking step.

You're smarter than this.

I know Burke

put you up to all of this.

He always just thought

with his little trigger finger.

That's why I went for him

and not you.

Come on, man, Miles has my kid.

That's all I want right now.

I don't want to end

this shit in a firefight.

It's already gone too far.

Here.

You see the knife?

There you go, okay?

You let her go,

you walk out of here,

we call it quits.

I go over to Miles,

I square everything up with him.

Nobody else has to die.

No.

How's that feel, big boy?

You're not fucking

with Burke anymore, are you?

But don't worry,

I'll take care of Micah.

I'll take of Micah real good.

Hell of a shot, baby.

- Can you just...

- Yeah.

...prop the leg up?

Ah, man, Fuck.

Watch out, watch out.

- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Is that better?

- Okay, yeah. Yeah.

Come on, now.

Okay.

We need to get you

to the hospital.

- No.

- Okay, trust me.

Trust me, no questions asked.

We need get you some real help.

We don't have time for that.

We gotta get this settled now.

By the time...

I get to the hospital,

Micah will be dead.

And Miles is gonna find out

sooner or later.

- How?

- I don't know!

He's always been ahead of me

my whole life,

but he's gonna find out.

I'm gonna have to end this now.

- Let me go with you.

- No.

There's too much at stake.

Chase.

Bring our son back in one piece.

That's the only way.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Look, I want you

to keep an eye out for tonight,

do you hear me?

This shit can get real messy.

Real soon.

Will do, boss.

Oh, see I thought

you were supposed to be

in bed, young man.

See, we had a deal.

You told me if I let you

do one more drawing,

it was night-night for you.

Are you a deal breaker? Hm?

- You a deal breaker?

- Aw.

But I wanna draw

another one in this.

Okay. Well, hold on, let me see

what you're working with.

Oh, look at that.

That's beautiful.

- Hey, can I have that?

- No.

It's for Mommy and Daddy.

Well, how about

the ones over there?

No. They're all

for Mommy and Daddy.

Oh, well, I gotta strong feeling

you're gonna see Mommy

and Daddy real soon.

Really? When?

Most likely tonight.

Yeah? Both of them?

Yeah, both of them.

Well, look, I'm gonna need you

to do me a favor,

no matter what happens,

I want you

to remember something.

I don't ever want you

to be like me and your dad.

Don't you ever be like us.

You're a special kid, Micah.

I can see why your dad

loves you so much.

Hell, you deserve

better than this.

This life

ain't for the normal people.

Can I finish this one, still?

Please? Please?

Yeah, but I'm gonna need you

to do me a favor.

You gotta promise me

that you will keep

these headphones on,

and listen to your music.

Okay?

And no matter what,

don't you come out this room.

Now your mom and dad

will be here shortly,

and they'll see

your beautiful artwork.

But in the meantime,

you just enjoy that music, okay?

Okay.

I'll come check on you

from time to time, you got me?

- Yep.

- All right.

Are you pumped?

This is not a relaxation party.

Huh?

Be ready.

He's coming any minute now.

This guy is dangerous!

Sergey!

Are we pumped or what?

Chase won't even make it inside.

They are lit.

I want everybody to leave.

What?

Leave the weapons

and the ammunition.

Have them exit my house.

I don't understand, Miles.

- I thought that you wanted...

- Hey!

Get it done.

Okay, Miles.

All right, guys,

let's pack it up.

Pack it up.

- Davai! Davai!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's going on?

- What do you mean pack it up?

- Just leave, Caleb.

It's not happening.

I drove a hundred miles, Miles.

Stop it, Caleb.

I drove a hundred

fucking miles, Miles!

All right, that's enough

of this gay shit.

Hey! Jayla, Nathan!

Come break this shit up, man.

Hey! Get the fuck off!

You heard Miles!

Get the fuck up!

All right, that's it.

Party time is over,

ladies and gentlemen.

Sergey, come get

your almost lost ass over here.

Everybody else,

get the fuck outta my house.

Get the fuck out! Move!

You know, that big nigga

almost beat you.

I had him.

Shit.

Oh, fuck!

Ha!

Chase!

What's up, baby?

My man.

Hey, I missed you, boy.

Look, you remember Sergey,

right?

Of course.

How's the knee?

Put a little oil and elbow

grease in it once a week,

and we're in business.

Hey, Chase,

you don't mind if he, uh...

I mean, you know,

it's kind of a precaution.

Knock yourself out.

We're good.

You trained him well, huh?

How's the rolling over

and barking coming along?

Oh, come on, Chase,

that's not fair.

You're hitting below

the belt, baby.

Sergey here,

is what you call a...

- stand-up guy.

- Mmm.

Sergey, do me a favor.

Give me and my man

a couple of beats.

We gotta rap.

Yeah?

Woo! Woo!

Hey, don't mind him.

He's fucking harmless.

I bet you when you walked

your ass through that door,

you thought you had a shitload

of SWAT waiting on you, huh?

Not really.

I kept my end of the bargain,

and stayed put.

Didn't you?

Well, uh, bet you put up

a pretty good fight

better than Burke though, right?

You know, I didn't want it

to end this way.

Ah, come on. Shit.

Sure you did, Chase.

It's your killer instinct.

Well, you can deny it

all you want,

we both know it's in there.

What's so funny?

It wasn't me who did Lola in.

- Blair?

- Mm.

She kinda saved my life.

Huh.

So, you had the bitch trained

better than I thought, huh?

Oh, more than you know.

Let me ask you

a question, Chase.

Did you give

any serious consideration

of what we talked about

yesterday?

I did.

Come on, man, you got me waiting

with bated breath, nigga!

What's your fucking answer?

I'm taking Micah,

and I'm leaving.

No words, no fights, it's over.

I'm choosing my side,

Miles.

I really didn't want it

to end this way.

You know,

there was a moment when I...

despite everything,

I was actually gonna choose you.

But Lola

coming over, and...

violating Blair again?

Nah, you just did me wrong.

Enough is enough.

So, are you out then?

Okay. You're out.

You're fucking out.

Just like that, huh?

Just like that.

Well, fuck it.

Guess you're gonna take them

both home then, right?

Both?

Sergey!

Bring 'em on out!

Get off me! Chase!

- You motherfucker!

- Man, fuck that!

That's two times, motherfucker!

That's twice

you let your bitch be handled.

You fucking piece of shit!

Nah, nah,

if she was all that to you,

you wouldn't let it happen.

Again.

We know the deal, Chase.

Deep down inside,

you're a selfish motherfucker.

Nigga, you're just like me!

You can't see that shit?

Let's fucking drop this, okay?

Drop all of this. Okay?

Nah, this thing ain't be

on me, playboy,

this one's on you.

But I'll tell you what, though,

since I'm a good dude,

I actually like your boy.

I'm gonna let him

and mom deuce bounce.

But you ain't

never gonna see

the motherfuckers again.

Well, what am I supposed

to fucking do?

Well, go get your ass back

on that block,

like one of my hoes,

and get paid

for what you're good at.

Killing people.

Oh, wait a minute.

We know you don't just kill

the bad guys, do you?

Don't you fucking dare.

Yeah, why don't you

let everybody know

who else you've killed.

What the hell

is he talking about?

He doesn't know

what he's fucking talking about!

He's a fucking moron!

Why don't you let Ms. Blair know

what happened to her daddy?

He's a fucking liar,

like you always said!

You know what,

Chase has never been

a particularly good storyteller.

So I think I'll take over.

Hell, I'll even throw in

some of Micah stories.

Now, is this the part

where you tell us

who killed Micah's real parents?

Didn't you have

something to do with that?

Huh, Chase?

Oh, Chase?

Hmm?

I did.

Ah!

Blair.

See, doesn't that

feel better?

To get that burden

off your chest?

Yeah, but there's

no going back now, is there?

I mean even if she

was fucking stupid enough

to take you back.

Can you imagine

how that would look?

Her having to look

in the eyes of the man

that killed her daddy.

And Micah's real parents.

Bring it down!

Wait a minute, Blair.

Don't, don't even talk.

I don't even

wanna hear you right now.

Who are you?

Who are you anymore?

Maybe you should just

get it over and done with, huh?

Get Micah, and...

let me bleed out.

It's not gonna change

the past, but...

it's definitely gonna...

stop things from happening

in the future.

Mommy!

Baby, don't look.

Don't look, okay?

Just focus on me,

focus on me, okay?

Look what I got for you

and Daddy.

Yeah, I love these.

They're so great.

Are you ready to go home?

- Yeah.

- Okay, let's go home.

Just don't look, okay?

Okay, just go to the door,

come on.

- Okay, good boy.

- Mm.

Oh, god.

Oh. Daddy got a boo-boo.

Hey, champ.

Daddy is just resting.

Mommy is gonna take you

home now.

- Okay?

- Okay.

No.

Mommy is gonna take Daddy

to the hospital

and make sure he's okay.

Is that okay, Micah?

Yeah,

I want Daddy to get better.

Yeah, he needs to get better.

It's a funny thing,

how memories and dreams

can capture a person

in a better light.

Slight changes.

Micah, looking calm.

Blair, looking a bit better

and at ease.

The intricacies of people.

I love to give me

a better peace of mind.

Even thinking about Miles now.

Of course, I think about

all of his jokes.

His humor, his friendship.

Miles was right

about a lot of things,

as cynical as they were.

Nobody could escape the life.

Nobody.

It was more than an a addiction.

It was an uncontrollable desire

to continue

and put anybody's life at risk,

including your own.

It was never gonna end pretty

for either one of us.

I think I chose my fate

the minute

Miles had me enter

this world at 15.

The moment

I really started living,

was also the moment

I started dying.

I always remembered the quote,

"Death is not

the opposite of life,

but a part of it."

The next level.

In all the years

I've been doing my job,

I had the unique pleasure

of choosing that moment

for so many people.

Like I said,

I never worried

if they were good or bad

or anything about them.

Just that I control the outcome.

But now...

I might not be able

to control my own.

Fuck!

I don't know why...

but when I close my eyes,

all I could picture

is the advice Blair gave me

to fall asleep.

I imagine Micah on my shoulders

and covering my eyes

and, me moving forward.

One step.

One step.

It was getting easier

and easier for me to doze off.

Micah was gonna do just fine.

I can only hope I shielded him

enough from what I did

to keep him

completely unscathed.

I influenced Blair enough

to see a switch in her,

but the core of who you are...

always stays intact.

That's at least

what I hope for Micah.

He deserves

better than this life.

I think I can sleep now.
