Dog Eat Dog (2016) - full transcript

Carved from a lifetime of experience that runs the gamut from incarceration to liberation, Dog Eat Dog is the story of three men who are all out of prison and now have the task of adapting themselves to civilian life. The California three strikes law looms over them, but what the hell, they're going to do it, and they're going to do it their way. Troy, an aloof mastermind, seeks an uncomplicated, clean life but cannot get away from his hatred for the system. Diesel is on the mob's payroll and his interest in his suburban home and his nagging wife is waning. The loose cannon of the trio, Mad Dog, is possessed by true demons within, which lead him from one situation to the next. One more hit, one more jackpot, and they'll all be satisfied. Troy constructs the perfect crime and they pull it off, but in the aftermath, they keep finding the law surrounding them wherever they go.

You think that your five-foot-four

kindergarten teacher is gonna...

who is, uh, I don't know, 62,

is gonna pull out her ak-47?

Well, not every single person

has to be armed and use a gun,

but the more people

that have them

makes the world a safer place.

So that's a heck

of a long barrel.

Let me ask you somethin', okay?

Just in the world and life,

what do you need

a barrel that long for?

Man: Great question.

How 'bout it's two o'clock

in the morning

and some methed-out lunatic is

trying to break into your house

to rape and murder your kids?

What do you do then?

Presenter: You ever read

the second amendment?

What does it say, really?

In a well-regulated militia.

You in a militia?

Hey, Vladimir putin may

come here, take off his shirt,

and they have to do something.

Hannah:

Hey, Melissa, what's going on?

I thought we were

doing homework together.

I've got some serious issues

with this cupcake experiment...

Presenter: This gun is more powerful.

What if he's 50 yards down the pike?

Hit you in the back?

Or a half a mile or a mile

with a para...

Man on TV: The reason why

police officers have guns...

Is he gonna come in the house

with this gun?

Is he gonna come in the house

with this gun?

Is he gonna come in the house

with this gun?

Is he gonna come in the house

with this gun?

Is he gonna come in the house

with this gun?

Is he gonna come in the house

with this gun?

Fuck! Fuck!

Hello?

Man: Yes, may I speak to

John aloysius mccain

of 550 maple Avenue, please?

I'm sorry, sir, but I'm on disability

and i can't give you any money.

Man: Oh, that's okay, sir.

We're not looking for any donations.

I just wanna

get to know you somewhat.

F or instance...

...what do you do for a living,

Mr. mccain?

I... I gut fish.

Hannah:

These cupcakes are killing me.

I am totally not able to get

the cupcake experiment on.

I work in a cannery and I got

a special knife to gut fish.

Man: Well, that is interesting.

Hannah: It's like bird

cupcake factory time.

Listen, can I call you back

in a minute?

Man on phone: No, sir, we can't do that.

I just am surprised is all.

Wait, what?

Man: I just didn't know people still

had that job of guttin' fish anymore.

I didn't know they still had the

job of callin' people at dinner

and buggin' the shit out

of 'em, motherfucker!

I...

Presenter: People at the job,

they go off the deep end.

And then what happens?

Whether they're ten years old

or 50 years old,

they reach for that...

take these.

- Oh, thanks for the help.

Oh, shit!

You scared me.

Why, am I scary?

Sheila: I told you,

you cannot stay here.

Listen, my car's at the chevron,

the alternator's fucked,

it's gonna take 'em

overnight to fix it.

I gotta crash here tonight.

No.

- Mad dog: Oh, come on, Sheila.

I got nowhere else to go.

I just gotta sleep here,

and in the morning pick it up,

and that's it,

and then I'm outta here.

With my fuckin' chevron card?

No, uh-uh, give it back.

Oh, come on, Sheila.

I'll make some

fuckin' short ribs.

Come on, baby.

We'll have a nice night.

One last night.

It's not gonna kill ya.

Hey, love birds,

did my friend, Hannah, call here

asking about the homework

assignment with the cupcakes?

Mad dog: I have no idea.

She did, and you heard her,

didn't you?

And you just erased it.

I didn't hear nothin'

about no cupcakes!

Just go upstairs

and call Hannah, honey.

So obnoxious!

Mad dog:

We'll have a nice night.

We're gonna eat them short ribs.

And then I'm gonna

eat your Booty, baby.

Don't be nasty.

Go get cleaned up, I'll cook dinner,

but this is it, okay?

Tonight is the end.

Okay, scout's honor.

Get the fuck in here!

Get the fuck in here!

Get the fuck in here now!

What the fuck

do I use my computer for?

Huh?

I do three things.

Do my spreadsheets for church.

I do my taxes.

And I answer emails.

You know what I don't

use my computer for?

This.

Uh-huh, you're gettin'

the fuck out now!

I got nowhere to go.

- Sheila: That's not my problem.

I got a suitcase full of guns.

What am I gonna fuckin' do?

Carjack some old guy like

some nigger from the projects?

Not my problem!

Give me my chevron card back.

Give me my chevron

card back now!

I can't do that, Sheila.

Get the fuck out,

you fuckin' loser!

Pervert!

You drug addict fuckin' pervert!

I've got a daughter

in the house!

You're a fuckin' loser!

Get the fuck out!

- Hey, Sheila.

You feel like you got problems?

Your problems

are over now, Sheila.

What? No!

No, please, get away! Stop!

No, no, no!

No, no, please, don't hurt me!

Stop, don't hurt me!

Don't hurt me!

Stop!

Hannah: Okay,

as far as I'm concerned,

we are never going

to collaborate

on making a really cool, really

original cupcakes ever again.

Troy: There was me, Troy.

There was mad dog.

And there was diesel.

See, people pretty much can't

stand mad dog,

and I get it, I do.

But what you gotta

understand is,

I know this guy

in a very particular way.

Well?

I barely knew mad dog,

but he knew my parole was coming

up and he took this fall for me.

He just did it, like that.

And so, somebody like that?

You owe a lifetime.

Mad dog: Oh, mama.

No, seriously, the smoke.

And you know what?

It worked.

Felt like these huge arms,

felt like your mom

givin' you the biggest hug ever.

Oh, man, the way

i slept that night.

I got news for ya, dog.

Havin' somebody blow

smoke in your mouth is like...

Troy:

Diesel is just a guy, you know.

I learned a lot from him.

I didn't go outta my way

to fuck with people,

which is more than

I can say for diesel.

Look, I'm just sayin',

this guy's a problem.

Been a long-time problem.

Troy: For a guy who comes out

with felony strikes,

a loan collection group

is not a bad job.

Not a great job,

but diesel dug it.

Man: Help.

Troy: You have to understand,

diesel is a big lug nut looking dude,

but he's very bright.

In another universe,

this guy could've been

a lawyer from Stanford

or something.

Unfortunately,

we're not in that universe.

There's always something

they use.

Your parole officer,

your counseling.

Photographer: Say cheese.

Troy: This asshole cop I knew

planted 28 grams of coke on me.

An ounce, not a lot,

but it was packaged for sale,

which is the part

that fucks you.

Bail is denied.

Troy: Mom's had a double mastectomy

and was on her way out when...

... That was that.

... We all had our stints.

Once you were in, stayin' out

is all but impossible.

And so, with the drug

beef piled up

on top of the attempted

violent escape,

it was a five to 15 year hit.

We all did our piece

at different times,

and I was the last to come out,

so these chaps decided to throw

me a welcome home party.

You know what's funny in there?

What you know that's out here

and what you don't know,

like Facebook, come on.

We were fuckin' Facebook friends

before there was a Facebook.

But the red fucking jeans

that hug the element's leg,

I had no clue.

Get the fuck outta my business.

Should I take care

of this guy for you?

Diesel: Where are you goin'?

I'm gonna kill

this fucker right now!

... I'm gonna fuckin' kill him!

Stop that!

We're in this together.

We go through that door

together, we come out together,

and anything other than that,

you're a piece of shit.

You just fuckin' got out, man.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

It's all cool, brother.

Didn't mean anything.

- Mad dog: Tight, tight, tight.

I'm so lost.

Just move with the music, man.

I... I knew all them

little rappers,

you know, them little

teen rappers and chicas.

The niggers in there would

go off about 'em, right?

Little Romeo

and little this and that, right?

But I didn't know

who Taylor swift was.

Who the fuck is she?

I never heard

of that bitch ever.

\the fuck do you know, man?

You didn't even know

we invaded Egypt.

Iraq.

- Same fuckin' thing.

Goddamn right I didn't.

I didn't even fuckin' know

where it was.

Still don't.

I gotta tell ya, man.

I appreciate the threads.

Diesel: Well, shit,

I'm not gonna have you comin' out here

lookin' like Johnny Joe.

What time are we meetin' Joey?

- Not for, like, two hours.

And we're close.

Yo, Madeline.

That French whore

i was tellin' ya about,

just got off the chain.

Hey, I'm Madeline.

You mind if I grab a red

bull bloody before we go up?

Oh, god, that's sounds horrible.

No, seriously,

that just sounds disgusting.

Why don't you just

get a regular bloody

and you can fall asleep on me.

I can take it.

Not be the first time.

- No, it would not.

Have 'em send it upstairs.

Let's go.

What's that say?

It's time to grate it

in the grinder.

Madeleine: So, you been

out of town for a long time?

Pretty long.

That's nice.

You're actually really

fuckin' hot, you know?

Well, you're a pretty

cute kid yourself.

It's gonna be 1.500.

Oh, yeah, they

took care of that.

No, they didn't.

I'm very sure they did.

Dude, go down,

go ask the manager.

I promise you, they didn't.

Troy: Once you've had money,

you're never 100 percent sure

who your friends are.

When I was away, there was

always money on the outside

for mad dog and diesel if,

you know,

his mom needed an eye operation,

shit like that.

They always knew it was there,

and god bless their

little hearts, right?

But it colors shit a bit.

It was my job to take care

of the crew.

I had the connections

to get everybody paid,

so I rejoined reality by going to

meet an old buddy from Marion.

El grecco, the Greek.

Never understood why

people called him that,

but this guy had the contacts

and the inside info

to make dreams come true.

Grecco the Greek:

Good to see ya again.

Here, count it.

Come on, man, I don't need to.

What is it?

- It's $5.000.

You can pay me back later.

You don't even have to thank me.

Just don't go wastin' it

on those other fools.

So what's the gig?

- The gig?

Uh, it's a friend of mine.

Armenian dude.

Former friend, actually.

Used to be a deputy da

prosecuting drug cases.

So he got sick of

watching himself go poor

while his clients went rich,

so he switched sides,

buys himself a big ole house

in brantlow,

got a little puss on the side.

He's a squirrely guy,

but now he has a problem.

He needs some money

the wife don't know about.

So, get this, he's setting up

his former clients for rip-offs.

You'd like him,

he's your kind of guy, Troy.

Who is the client?

Grecco the Greek:

That'd be a monkey out of east Cleveland,

calls himself moon man.

They used to call him balloon

head till he got so much money

that now they

just call him guard.

He likes to play the fool.

He says to my friend, the Armenian,

he says, "hey, Mr. cracker."

He talks like that,

says, "Mr. cracker,

if you're so smart

and I'm so dumb,

why I got $5.000.000

and you workin' for me?"

He buys himself a house

up in rocky river.

Big ole gaudy thing,

and it needs renovatin'.

You know that part of Cleveland?

Troy: Dude, I know all of c-town,

better than anybody.

He's got a 300-pound fool

he calls a bouncer.

He likes to drive

a beamer seven.

But not in the hood.

So he's got four, five

little junker cars.

You know, switch 'em one place,

one or the other,

you know how they do that.

- Troy: Oh, yeah.

But, this is where you come in,

he don't keep anything worth shit

up at the rocky river house,

so you gotta find

where he keeps his stash.

Get us some cop uniforms?

Grecco:

I can help with that, yeah.

Gonna need three.

- So who you got?

You got diesel...

- Yeah, and I've got...

No, no!

Not... not... not mad dog.

No, no, really? Shit!

Bro, he loves me.

Like the old fudge puncher said,

a man kills the thing he loves.

You keep him away from me.

Those paranoid types

make me scared.

Troy: These hood rats, man.

I think they've been

watchin' too much

black entertainment television

or somethin'.

'Cause they all have these

little things they do.

Like they saw in a gangster

rap video or some shit.

Like fuck you, who gives a shit?

So I guess we just stake

out his house, right?

You know,

just park nearby and...

Just sweat it out, right?

That's all ya can do,

'cause what are ya gonna do?

That's him.

Diesel: Are you serious?

- Troy: That's the guy.

Mad dog:

There goes the suspension.

Chris don't do shit

but lay around all day,

eatin' fuckin' fingers,

watchin' that housewives shit.

Man, when we first started out

she had a gorgeous body.

You remember that?

- Mm-hmm.

Man, it was thick but

it was like Beyonc? thick,

where there's a shape to it.

Now she just got this

big ol' fat ass.

She always bustin' my balls

whenever I'm out with the bitch.

I mean, 90 percent of the time,

the shit be about business.

This is the type of business

where you're gonna

meet a bitch like that.

Bitch can never be

proud of me either.

Hey, man, I could

win a goddamn grammy,

and she would act like

it ain't shit, man.

What the fuck is...

same shit, man.

Couple of pigs wanna

roust a nigga.

We clean, though, right?

- 'Cept for the piece.

All right, cool, cool.

Just turn right here.

Make sure you keep

your hands up, all right?

Now they be scared,

but they be dangerous.

You never wanna give a cop

the opportunity

to shoot a nigga, all right?

They got a license to

kill brothers nowadays.

Driver's license.

Sir, do you have some ID?

Me? Nah, I ain't got no ID.

Supreme court say I don't

need to carry none around.

Sir, can I see your ID?

Moon man: You're not listening.

Said I ain't got that.

I ain't... I don't really

supposed to have one, but...

Here.

I ain't sweatin' it,

don't even sweat it, man.

This is bullshit. Yeah.

Run these through r and I.

Yeah, man, see about Evie.

Get off her fat ass for a minute.

We gotta figure this shit out,

though.

Damn sure.

Step out of the car, please.

- Moon man: What?

Diesel:

Please, step outta the car.

Woman:

Why don't you leave them alone?

What for?

Step outta the car,

face the car,

put your hands

behind your head.

What's all this for, man?

Face the car,

put your hands behind your head.

I ain't even did nothin', man.

Well, computer says you have some

outstanding traffic warrants.

Oh, that's bullshit!

Hey, hey, call Evie, man, tell her to

come bail me out this motherfucker.

Hey, old rich nigga. You done

shoulda paid your tickets!

Shut your old ass up.

All right, shut the fuck up

and get in the car.

Evie can't do nothin'

for you now, man.

Show's over.

Moon man: Hey, man.

What the fuck is this, man?

This ain't the way

to the substation.

Hey, man, where the fuck we at?

... Fuck!

What the fuck are you doin'?

Listen to all the bitch

comin' out of him at once.

Troy: We're goin' to that

stash of yours.

You ain't even gotta

snitch nobody out.

We're gonna walk

you up to the door,

and you're gonna tell the dude

to open up.

If he opens up, cool.

If not, I'm gonna blow your

backbone outta your belly, period.

You copy?

Look, man, I don't know what...

oh, fuck!

Motherfucker, you got blood

on my versace!

Troy: Oh, yeah, I feel you.

- Goddamn it!

Both: Versace.

Let me... let me clean you up.

Now listen!

You can always get more coke

and more money,

but you've only got one life,

so don't think you can

fake me out on this

because I will kill you.

Let's get this done.

Diesel:

Get the fuck outta the car.

Get the fuck out.

Moon man: Hey,

this ain't my trap house, man.

Troy: Lower your voice,

you know it is. Keep walkin'.

Moon man:

Y'all see this shit, right?

Troy: Shut up.

Tell him to open up.

- Woman on street: Hey!

Moon man: Hey, dude, it's me.

Open the door.

Troy: Tell him we won't bust him

if he opens up.

He ain't gonna

believe that shit.

Troy: Just humor me,

tell him anyway.

Moon man: He said he wasn't gonna

bust you if you open the door.

Deuce: What the fuck did you bring

them by here for then, nigga?

Motherfucker,

i didn't bring 'em here,

they already knew

where we was at.

Hey, deuce.

- Deuce: What?

We're gonna let you go if you don't

make us blow a hole in this door.

Don't go doin' that now.

- Woman: He's talkin' shit, man.

Let the brother go!

Better get him to open up.

Come on, deuce, man,

open the fuckin' door!

Fuck!

All right, man, but y'all better

not be on no bullshit.

In you go, good to go.

- Troy: Come on, dis, door!

Do you want my badge?

Get behind this shit.

Fuck, man!

Man 1: Hey, bro, look at this.

Man 1: This ain't no cop car.

- Man 2: Fuck, no, it ain't.

Fuck.

Dog!

- Diesel: Fuck is so funny?

Dog.

- Huh?

Don't kill anybody

unless you have to.

Right.

- Diesel: What the fuck

are you laughin' at?

- Oh, y'all in trouble, man.

Oh, yeah?

Freeze on that.

Diesel: You're dead, motherf...

Get movin'!

- Get up, bro!

What did I say?

- Where is it?

It's upstairs!

I said it was upstairs!

Let me waste a couple.

- Don't!

You tryin' to fake me out?

- No, I promise!

I'm not fuckin' you around.

So you're not lying?

- I'm not fuckin' lying.

You're not lying?

- No!

Troy: What I'd say?

- No.

Troy: Tryin' to

fake me out on this?

Moon man: No!

- Dis, dis, dis! Check it out.

Check it out.

Mad dog: That it?

- The fuck?

Where's the fuckin' money?

I see the blow,

where's the money?

Moon man: Ain't no money.

Troy: I said, where's the money?

Look,

you'll have to kill this nigga

'cause there ain't no motherfuckin'

money here, and that's that, fuck!

Let's kill this lyin'

cocksucker!

Moon man: Motherfucker!

Some asshole's

got a gun out there.

Get down on the floor,

face down, face down.

Turn out the light.

Moon man: Motherfucker.

- Troy: You ready?

Go!

- Mad dog: Go.

Fuck you!

Get the fuck outta here,

that's right!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

So I asked for $10.000.

we settled at nine.

I spent $300 to get us broads,

and I got you...

i got you a little extra...

Yeah!

Ha!

All: Moon man!

Troy: All right, guys,

let's meet tomorrow afternoon,

two o'clock, kosar's.

Try to show up,

even if you're fucked up,

so I know you're not dead.

Blackjack.

Diesel: Hey.

Woman: Hey.

Diesel:

This fuckin' dude's a cock.

Which dude?

- Diesel: Over there.

I really like my scotch neat,

and this fuckin' bozo insists

that I take it on the rocks.

Why is that?

Because the management

has determined

that when people drink

drinks without ice,

they become drunk too quickly.

So I kind of laugh at this.

And he poisons my drink with his

two fat fucking ice cubes.

Well, that's interesting.

Diesel: Check it out.

That's the spa menu.

You can have the body

rejuvenation for 180 bucks.

"Rhythmic hydrobath

plus neck massage."

"Creamy body scrub with

hand-dredged organic sea salts."

Man: Thank you.

- There he is again.

Push those ice cubes

in his face.

Yeah?

Yeah, show that fucker

you mean business.

Yeah?

That wouldn't be a good choice.

For me.

You're a big dude, ain't ya?

Go ahead.

Damn, dude.

You're fuckin' made of rock.

Wanna bounce?

Yeah.

Diesel: Let's do this.

Have you ever been to nice?

No, what's that?

- Troy: It's in France.

It's a beach town.

I guess you could call it like...

like a resort spot.

Let's get some jams up in here.

Yeah, my mom and dad took me

there when i was a little kid.

Woman: Oh, shit.

Yeah, I didn't go anywhere

when I was a kid.

Actually, my mom and dad took me

to Niagara Falls once.

It's the most incredible thing

because when you're flying in,

it's like this blue sky,

and then the water's so blue.

Bluer than your eyes blue.

And the two reflect each other and

bounce off the white of the plane.

I wanna go back there.

I'll be, uh, makin' some money

in the next couple of months.

Did you wanna go there with me?

Mm, maybe.

We'll stay in a bed and breakfast,

get up, have coffee and a cigarette.

You know,

you're a real cutie-patootie.

Thanks.

Just a cutie-patootie.

You were sayin'. You got that

classic movie star look

like Marlene Dietrich.

I could be your bogart,

you can be my Dietrich.

You like those classic

movie stars from the '30s,

like cagney, bogart, Edward g?

I like those guys.

- Woman: Uh-huh, me, too.

Okay, so if you want me

to go downtown,

it's an extra 300 bucks.

But I'll make it

worth your while,

'cause I know how

to do it right.

Can I just ask you one thing?

- Woman: Sure.

Would you be interested

in going to nice with me,

maybe get away from all this

for a little while?

Yeah, where is nice again?

In fucking France.

Yeah, I don't know, uh,

I still gotta get

my head shots taken,

and then there's this guy,

Robert.

Oh, the gay guy I was

telling you about,

he's my roommate,

and when he gets back,

he's gonna help me

edit my album.

So, sorry, baby, but...

How about some extra tlc

for $300?

Have you ever heard of a gemstone

called black tourmaline?

No.

- Troy: It's very beautiful.

It's a pitch-black gemstone and

it casts negative energy away.

Why you have to make

such problem of it, huh?

Just relax, let it come.

Mad dog: I know that.

I know how to make myself cum.

Woman: Just go easy.

- I know.

This take forever.

I know.

The fuck?

Get the fuck outta here, go on!

Get the fuck outta here!

Go on, get the fuck out before

i paint the wall with ya!

Get out!

You like this guy?

Diesel: I don't know him.

I'm gonna get some cashews

outta the meat locker in here.

Diesel: Hey, go right ahead.

Throw me one of the snickers

bars while you're down there.

Empty calories.

Diesel: Yeah.

It's been a while.

- Mm, almonds.

Diesel: You know it takes 1.1

gallons of water to grown an almond?

Fuckin' crazy.

So you don't know Elliott Smith?

Diesel: No.

He had a bunch of knife wounds

to the heart.

They said it was self-inflicted,

but I never believed it.

Yeah, that don't add up.

Why do you say?

Well, it's not impossible.

It's just if you wanna die,

you're gonna sit there and

hack away at your chest?

No, you're gonna take a gun.

If you're afraid of that,

you eat a bunch of pills

or do a fat shot of heroin.

Yeah, exactly.

Plus his girlfriend was a bitch

and she envied him

'cause he was, like,

the only acoustic guy who

penetrated the Seattle scene.

And this was the time with nirvana

and Alice in chains and whatnot.

So what kind of music you like?

I don't.

Don't like any?

No.

I was around a lot of rap music

for a while.

I think it made me

hate all music, period.

Hmm.

So, like...

Where do you like to go?

Diesel: What do you mean?

I mean, I'm just saying,

you said you don't really like Cleveland,

so, like, where do you

like to go hang out

where you, like, have fun?

I don't hang out to have fun.

All right, I mean, like...

What are your friends like?

Yeah, I don't have fuckin' friends.

I mean, what the fuck is this?

What?

The 20 fuckin' questions.

I mean, you know what's up.

- Excuse me?

You know, I mean...

You knew I was in prison.

Uh, no, you didn't tell me that.

Yeah, but you fuckin' knew

from when we were in the bar.

And I said it'd be a bad move for

me to hit the fuckin' bartender.

I said, "it would be

a bad choice for me."

And you had this

fuckin' look in your eye like,

"yeah, I know what the fuck

you're talkin' about, dude."

No, I didn't, i don't know what

the fuck you're talking about.

The motherfuck you don't!

Fuck!

Hey, hey, wait a minute,

hold up, hold up.

Jill.

- I gotta go.

Jill, Jill.

- I gotta go.

Look, look, look,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Please take your hand off of me.

All right, hey.

Look, I'm just upset.

I'm on edge,

I've been gone for long.

People always ask me,

"do you know this, do you know that?"

The truth of the fuckin'

matter is I don't know fuckin' anything.

I been locked up in a fuckin'

garbage can for years.

No, i... I understand that,

i get that.

Look, look, look,

i don't wanna seem crazy.

No, I didn't say you were crazy.

Listen, please.

I'm not a violent person.

No, I understand that, I know.

I just...

I don't feel safe right now.

And I don't feel safe

and I have to leave now.

Diesel:

Let's do this again real soon.

Well, hey, I enjoyed the shit

out of certain things.

I wanna just honestly express

my gratitude to you, Troy,

for hookin' this little

adventure up.

Oh, boy, the butterin'

up's underway

to hit you up to loan him some

money to buy somethin', Troy.

Mad dog:

I'm just sayin' I'm thankful.

I bought that girl a

black tourmaline bracelet,

and now that shit's on ebay.

Mad dog:

I told ya not to fall in love.

A fucking plus.

I'm gonna get us some

real work, gents.

We need a big job,

a grown-up job.

Diesel: Let's do that.

- All right.

You know what I fuckin' love?

Check it out.

You cats not freakin'

out about this?

I been out longer than you guys and

I'm still freakin' out about it.

Troy: What? What is it?

- Mad dog: Carpeting.

You know how much bare feet,

if you had that privilege

in your cell,

and they didn't notice you wasn't

wearing your shower flip-flops

in your downtime,

all you felt was that cold concrete

with boogers and jizz on it.

This is like...

Dig it, man. Come on, man.

This is sweet. This is like...

Like... soft, shaved pussy.

You have been

locked up a long time.

You know what I mean.

Nah, I'll get us

a real good gig.

I'll get us such a good gig,

take your tits off!

So lemme ask you something.

Do you think I look like

Humphrey bogart?

Chepe: No.

Well, you see, that's interesting,

because I'm a big film buff.

Bogart was the best, the king.

When I was in the joint,

there was a movie producer

who was in there with me,

and i... I says to him,

I says, "do you think

i look like Humphrey bogart?"

And he says, "well, yeah, ya do,

but a stretched-out version of him."

That's a fantastic story.

So where are your boys?

I don't bring 'em

to stuff like this.

No?

- Nah,

they just know

what they need to know.

Okay.

Shall we order a bottle of wine?

Grecco: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That sounds good.

Troy: So, grecco tells me

you're a heavy guy.

I'm not referring

to your weight.

I mean that, apparently,

you are a gentleman

of some power and influence.

Yeah, well, I try my best. It

is a shitty economy out there,

so we all gotta work overtime

all the time.

I heard that.

Right.

What's good?

Oh, they have...

- Troy: Get the rare steak

with the cottage fries,

that's the only thing.

You do the honors?

- Grecco: Yeah.

So this guy, Mike Brennan,

this creep,

this deadbeat

that owes me a lot of money,

the way I see it,

he is so fucked up,

he ain't never gonna be able

to get it back on his own.

So he needs some incentivizing

to go out, to get up.

Grecco: A real scumbag.

Yeah, he's one of those

fuck-you-come-and-get-it guys.

Probably all hopped up on blow,

the way he's actin'.

So the bottom line is,

chepe has been patient.

Yes, I have.

Time's up.

I need to get four mil from him.

Okay.

- Chepe: Good.

He's got a one-year-old

out in the heights.

I need you to snatch him.

Troy: Kidnapping.

I don't dig the sound of this.

Plus, there hasn't been an

unsolved kidnapping-for-ransom

in the United States

in a long time.

I mean, granted,

this was different,

'cause ain't nobody

gonna report this one.

Okay, so how would this work?

T'll work because I guarantee

you a half a million,

plus half of whatever

Brennan pays, if he pays at all.

I don't know, man, nabbin' a kid

is a dangerous business.

People don't look

too kindly on it.

All right, take it easy.

I ain't into abusin' children,

you dig?

Kid's still a baby,

he ain't ever gonna know.

If he was four or somethin',

I'd never be doin' that.

He wouldn't do that.

Chepe:

Ain't nobody gonna be home.

Just the girlfriend,

the nanny, and the baby.

Grecco:

It'll go quick, Troy.

Look, what if I give you 500.000

plus a $250.000 bump?

Hey, man, you keep throwin'

around numbers like 500.000 here,

250.000 there,

pretty soon, we'll be

talkin' about real money.

Real money.

- Real money.

You a wine connoisseur,

Mr. chepe?

Oh, yes, of course.

Let's try a burgundy, man,

it brings out...

Troy: Dog!

You know I'm down for whatever.

Dog!

Come on, let's grab him.

Dog, dog.

Not to be rude, but can you

give the old man a break?

It's important.

Mad dog: I'll be back.

You can do a couple of those.

I'll be back.

Diesel: Fall in love?

- Mad dog: Sure enough.

Mad dog: She really gets

me going, I tell ya.

She's somethin',

but I can't really figure out what she is.

I mean...

- diesel: She looks puerto rican.

Mad dog: Well, she doesn't taste

puerto rican, I'll tell ya,

she's somethin' else, man.

I don't know, she said somethin'

like she's an Indian,

or somethin' like that,

you know.

All right,

this is the game plan.

The way I see it,

we can keep doin' this nickel and dime shit,

maybe get away with a bit of it,

then eventually get

caught or clipped.

I don't see that your number

don't come up forever.

Or grecco has a big job for us,

as in $750.000.

Ooh.

- Shit!

It's a fucking baby-napping.

- That don't sound too good.

It's not,

and I'm not sayin' it is.

But my feeling is,

where we stand right now,

the small job thing

isn't gonna cut it.

I'm talking $500.000

with a $250.000 kicker,

so that's $250.000

for each of us.

Now we can do this,

and my vote is that

we should do this

because this is no kind of life.

Fuck no, 100 percent not.

I mean, if it came down to it,

i would literally eat a gun

before the cops

would pinch me again.

I'm tellin' ya, I can't do it.

I got two strikes.

Troy:

Well, we all have two strikes

so I think we are agreed

that that cannot happen.

Diesel: Absolutely.

- I think we all understand

that there's no way

we're gonna get a foot

in the straight world

without some serious dough

with which to start

businesses with,

and we aren't gonna get that

by being some $10-an-hour monkey

in a job we got from

our probation officer

or an outreach program

or what have you.

- Aw, shit,

you can't live off that shit.

So this seems to be the play.

But I just wanna say this,

and I'm not tryin'

to be melodramatic.

I am looking out for you.

I want us all to agree,

with this particular gig,

there are only two options.

Option one is total victory,

and that is what

i am planning on.

But, failing that...

We are gonna go down.

We are not going to get clipped,

and one guy gives up the other...

no.

It's gotta be samurai style.

Jackie chan.

No, what he's sayin' is,

if we get in a spot where

we're gonna get pinched,

we go down together.

Yo.

Troy: What?

What?

Fuckin' thing that

you always hear about.

Where there's a gig, and there's

a lot of money at the end,

you run away to Hawaii.

That shit never, ever works out.

Does it?

I think it does sometimes.

You just don't know about it

'cause they run off to Hawaii

and you don't ever

hear from 'em again.

Why is that funny?

Diesel, I understand

what you're saying,

but we've painted

ourselves into a corner,

and now, we have to

paint ourselves out.

It's death or victory,

and it pretty goddamn well

better be victory.

A lot of people

are gonna be really pissed.

It's gonna be a victory.

Diesel:

That's a fuckin' house there.

How much you think that's worth?

Mad dog: Oh, five, ten million?

Nah.

Diesel: You should know,

you come from money, huh, Troy?

Troy: That was a long time ago.

It's me, doll, I'm back.

No, Mike Brennan.

No, no, I'm goin'

back to my house.

No, meet up there,

it's much more boring.

Yeah, it's my baby mama,

I'm gonna surprise her.

Yeah, she's been bringin'

her boyfriend over to the house.

How 'bout I just send you

a cellphone video

of me beatin' his fuckin' ass?

Okay, mamita, you like that?

Okay, I love you, sweetheart.

Diesel: You know, none of these

wall street motherfuckers

have been to prison.

But I know a guy,

my wife's cousin...

oh, that guy with the fucking

donut tire thing?

Diesel: A fuckin' joke.

- This is so fucked up. Listen.

Dude stole this spare donut tire

off the back of some dude's Jeep...

Got...

- life.

Life without the possibility

of parole.

Mad dog: That's fucked up, man.

How's the gas?

Why?

- Mad dog: We good?

Ya ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

I'm always ready.

You guys are so fucked.

Troy: Bad dog!

No!

- Shut the fuck up.

Stay still, think about it all.

Can you shut this baby up?

No, you know how.

Where's the thing you put

in the fucking baby's mouth?

What's it called?

- Uh, dick?

Troy:

No. Here it is. Here we go.

All right, you know what?

You know what?

You just take him, take him.

Take the baby,

take the fucking baby.

Okay, who was that guy?

- I don't know.

Was he a cop?

- I don't know.

Get his wallet,

get his fuckin' wallet.

You get his fuckin' wallet.

- What's the matter with you?

I don't like this motherfucker

tellin' me what to do.

Dude, get his wallet.

Let's find out who he is.

Take the baby downstairs,

he annoys me.

Dog, would you please

just keep an eye on her.

Just... just step over it.

Step over...

What the fuck?

Jose vasquez?

Jose vasquez.

Who the fuck is Jose vasquez?

I have no fuckin' idea.

All I know is this fuckin' chick

can identify all of us.

We've gotta waste her.

- Let me think about it.

We're gonna need

somethin' to wrap him in.

The baby?

- No, the body.

Come on.

You got his keys?

- Yeah, I got 'em.

Yo, Troy.

You guys take off,

I'll wait for the mom.

There is no baby seat.

Never mind about that,

just get in.

You all right?

- Nanny: Yes.

Baby seat. Just keep the baby

down real low.

We should've thought about that.

Yeah, I know. All right, guys, get goin'.

Call me when you get there.

Carmen, I was gonna

get you the face cream...

it's all right, your baby's fine.

He's perfectly safe.

Carmen?

We've got your kid, now calm down.

He's all right.

He's just a little baby.

- I know.

He didn't, doesn't...

- i know that.

Now listen to me.

Hey, hey!

- Woman: Carmen!

Troy: Hey!

You don't wanna go up there.

- Woman: Why?

Because your husband had one of his

thugs watchin' you, and he got shot.

There's a dead guy in our house?

No, but there's some

very messy shit up there.

It's gonna be my ass...

- shut up!

Shut the fuck up, man!

What don't you understand?

Now, do you know how to get in

touch with Mike, the father?

I have a number

for him in canton.

Okay, good.

Canton is good, that's a start.

Now I need ya to call him,

tell him his kid's collateral

on money he owes

an old friend from prison,

and as soon as he pays it,

he gets the kid back, okay?

Carmen!

Troy: Lady!

I don't have time for this shit.

All right, did you get

your phone charged?

Carmen: Yes.

- Troy: Okay, good,

'cause we're gonna call you in a little bit,

so keep it charged.

If you need to, you can plug in

that charger over there.

Now we're gonna call you.

We're gonna give you

the combination to that lock,

and then you can

let yourself out.

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Yes.

Here's a pen so you can

write down the combination.

And if we don't call right away,

don't panic,

don't do anything,

don't call anybody,

'cause we got people outside,

ya see?

And they're gonna get very upset

if they see anything weird

or they hear anything weird.

Do you understand

what I'm saying?

Yep.

- Yes.

Oh, you like that, huh?

All right.

This will all be over

with very soon.

Come here, gimme a big bear hug,

come here.

Come on, come on, there you go.

- No!

All right, you'll be fine, baby.

All right, gentlemen, let's go.

I gotta call grecco, I gotta buy

a disposable phone and call him.

What?

- Troy: I know,

that's how he wants me

to do this.

I'm tellin' ya, man, all these

people coverin' themselves.

And they fuck up

the most basic shit.

Dog, you got a place

to put the body, right?

Yeah, I got a good place

on the way towards Toledo.

That's pretty fuckin' far, man.

Mad dog: No, no, it's like two hours,

two and a half tops.

All right, I'll go call grecco.

Find out where and when he

wants us to pick up the dough.

It's me.

- Grecco: Yeah.

All right, we've got the kid,

we've got the nanny,

it's all good.

Now the wife didn't show up,

so if you can get me

a contact on Brennan,

I'll arrange for

the ransom myself.

Grecco: I don't think so.

What do you mean?

Grecco: Did you guys happen to

encounter a problem at that house?

We did in fact, yes.

- Grecco: Uh-huh.

I thought maybe you did,

'cause that Brennan guy

hasn't shown up for anything.

Nobody's heard from him,

he's disappeared.

No, we didn't deal with Brennan.

There was a soldier in there,

some Mexican guy.

That was Brennan.

- I don't follow.

He has, like, a Mexican mom,

an Irish dad,

and he's a totally

Latin-lookin' dude,

so that was Brennan.

You shot Brennan.

No, because on his ID,

it said Joe vasquez.

Look, grecco, I'm not...

I'm not sure about this, okay?

Well, I'm sure about it.

I'm 100 percent

fucking sure about it.

You shot the guy

what was the guy

that was supposed to pay

the ransom money.

So... so what's what? I mean,

what are we gonna do here?

Grecco: I don't know.

I mean, chepe's not gonna be happy

about Brennan gettin' whacked.

But, on the other hand,

you didn't try to cheat him

so he'll get over it, I hope.

I hope.

I mean, he has to understand that

there's a certain likelihood that...

he don't have to

understand shit.

He doesn't understand shit.

He's a stubborn fucking

pig-headed beaner.

But I will try to

cool him off, Troy.

All right, I mean, look,

we're almost outta gas here.

- What's that supposed to mean?

It means we're out of money.

We were counting on this to...

to work out.

Everyone's down to their

last nickel right now, so...

grecco: All right, uh,

meet me in the morning.

- Nine, uh, make it ten...

...at, uh, at captain taco's.

By the bagel place.

- Grecco: Yeah, exactly.

I'll get ya some dough and we'll see

what we're gonna do about chepe.

I mean, he should

cool off eventually...

I hope.

All right, I'll see ya tomorrow

at ten.

By the bagel place.

- Grecco: Okay, peace.

Mad dog: Man, would you stop bustin'

my balls about this shit?

We run in, run out, we'll be

outta there in two minutes.

Why don't you just

fuckin' humor me?

Are you fuckin' kidding me

with this shit?

This fuckin' joke

was already startin' to stink.

I do not have time

for this shit.

Dude everyone's got their own

form of preparation, all right?

Everyone has their

own fucked-upness.

Everybody self-medicates.

Everybody has their own damage

and malfunction and whatnot.

And mine ain't any worse

than yours is,

and I ain't in any less

in control

than you are so...

- okay.

Just get the fuck out

of the fucking car!

All right, okay, okay!

Fuck!

- Fuck!

Diesel: You better not be

dickin' with me.

Oh, fuck.

Gimme five minutes,

just five minutes

to get my groove on,

and then we're outta here.

Yup.

- Ps,

you know that place we're goin',

it's like totally close,

so it won't be a problem.

Diesel:

You said it was towards Toledo.

It's real close.

Listen,

i wanna tell ya somethin'.

And it's like a real cone

of silence.

Just between you and me, right?

Diesel: Dog.

- Mad dog: It goes no further.

Diesel: I got no one to tell.

Yeah, well, i...

i want you to promise me

that you won't get mad at me

before I say it.

I'm not shittin', man,

this is serious.

It's personal,

it's personal to me.

It's not business.

Okay, shoot.

I know you don't like me.

- Ah, Jesus, man.

No, it's okay,

i know you don't like me,

and a lot of times

i don't like me either.

But what I wanted to tell ya is,

I see the relationship

you have with Troy,

and how you handle things,

and I just want ya to know

that I really admire it.

Just try to be

businesslike, man.

No, fuck that, I see you got

a good thing goin'.

You... you just got, like...

You got esp.

You just get in that zone,

and I admire it.

And,

i guess what I'm sayin' is...

I always wanted

to be your friend.

Come on, dog, you're my friend.

- No, no, no, like a true friend.

Like you are with Troy,

a real friend,

where there's mutual respect.

Oh, man.

You know you gotta earn that.

I understand. No, I get that.

I respect that, absolute, but,

you know, it's just there's

this thing that I wanna tell ya.

I'm dyin' to tell ya, but...

It's, like,

the worst thing in the world.

The worst thing in the world.

All right, all right, all right.

Just finish this, man.

Right, okay. No problem.

Okay.

We're goin'.

Diesel: What is it, dog?

What?

What is it, dog?

I mean,

with what we've been through,

how fuckin' bad could it be,

seriously?

Whatever it is, let's get it

on the fuckin' table right now.

I appreciate that, man.

I mean, you know, I try to be

better than I've been.

You know,

I've tried to pray on it...

I know that I'm responsible

for myself and stuff,

but, you know, that...

it's fuckin' Sheila, man.

I mean, she's just one of

those people that knows.

You know, she just...

You know, people that know how

to push your buttons and shit,

and then there's special people

that just know,

they just fuckin' know

how to take ya to that place

where you're fuckin'

way over the line,

and she just does that, man,

and it's like she...

She wants the

worst thing to happen.

Well, she took it to that place,

and that was it.

What about the kid?

And the kid, the kid too,

the fucking kid.

That kid, I can't stand it.

Jesus Christ, are you kiddin' me,

with a mother like that?

You're not gonna judge me?

Dis!

I mean, i...

i looked to you to be a friend.

I mean, to be a friend, you know,

what accepts ya, 'cause...

See, that's all I ever wanted,

was unconditional love...

oh, god, I fucked this shit up!

Look, look, look,

man, I understand.

Can I just ask you one thing,

a logistical thing?

Is this really far out

fuckin' place that we're goin',

is this where you dumped

Sheila and the kid?

I wanted to put

that Mexican dude here

so I could put a period

on that part of my life, man.

You know what I mean?

I wanna make a strong action

and fuckin' change some things

so I could be the person

that I know I could be.

Okay.

You'll help me do it, yeah?

- Diesel: Yeah.

You'll fuckin' help me

untangle my life

and make myself a person

that doesn't make me

fuckin' wanna throw up

every time I pass a mirror?

Listen, dog, you are a

fuckin' pain in the ass.

You don't know when to shut up.

You don't know when to listen.

And you have absolutely no idea how

to fuckin' control your emotions.

That said, never lied.

- No.

You never fucked me over.

- No.

In fact, I don't think you've

ever really fucked up on a job.

So if you reach out to me and you

say that you genuinely want my help,

that you're ready to glue

your fuckin' life back together,

there's absolutely no way

i can fuckin' say no to that.

... Deal?

Yeah, fuck yeah, deal.

Mad dog:

I was 16 when I signed up.

Semper paratus, always ready.

Didn't work out.

Somethin' about me not keepin'

my foot locker locked.

Diesel: So you know this place?

Mad dog: Yeah, it was shut down

since I was maybe 25.

Just go to the left.

Diesel: Over there?

- Mad dog: Yeah.

I got a key.

Tomorrow, clean slate.

End of all of this shit.

So can I just ask you,

and I want you to be frank

'cause I really do respect you.

I mean, do you think

people can change?

I mean, like,

if your behavior's one way,

that you can, like, alter it?

Diesel: You got a spot?

- Mad dog: Yeah.

Diesel: Like a hole?

- Mad dog: It's not a hole.

You'll see.

Set him down.

Where you put Sheila?

Yeah, and the kid.

Fuck me!

Let's just fuckin'

dump him, man.

No, no, trust me,

we gotta go up there

and place him in.

You said absolutely nobody

fucking comes here, man.

You're right, but in a billion

in a chance that one does,

we want that person

to be invisible,

like, stuck under,

like, six or seven things.

In a couple of days,

they're gonna be rottin' anyway,

and then it's too late,

but don't do 'em any favors.

Mad dog: Use your head.

- Diesel: In here?

Yeah.

- Dude, seriously,

you're gonna get fuckin'

aids in here, man.

Mad dog: Aw, shit, bro,

haven't you ever done sanitation?

It's a fuckin' fact

in forensic science

that things begin to rot,

they're at their least toxic for you

because they are structurally bent

on their own self-destruction

because, well,

it's like an organism.

Diesel: You know,

when you do a bunch of yakkin',

you watch Dr. Sanjay gupta

on CNN and shit.

Mad dog: Oh, you just make fun

of him because he's a hindu,

but he's got a lot

of good ideas.

They may not be

mainstream ideas but...

Fuckin' stepped in some shit.

Oh, dis,

don't be such a fuckin' pussy.

It's just water, shake it off.

Set this fucker down.

Voil?.

Now when we get outta here,

and we meet up with Troy

and we split up our shit,

before we split, I wanna have

a sit-down with you, okay?

Okay?

Okay?

- Diesel: Okay.

Okay, help me put him in here.

So, I just wanna...

I wanna, you know,

sit down, and I want you

to give me five things,

five character flaws

that I can do a reboot on.

You know, a do-over on...

...amend my character flaws,

as it were.

Like, you know, I mean,

just sit down

and really go with candor,

whether it's my fuckin' mother's

fault or my father's fault,

it doesn't really matter.

Fuck!

... Oh, god.

Oh shit, fuck.

Oh, you know, it doesn't

really make any difference

because I'm willin'

to alter those things

because I believe in redemption,

right?

And I'm willin' to do that.

Diesel: I warned you, dog.

It's tough?

Yeah, it's tough and it takes

a lot of baby steps

and goin' back and forward,

and do over, yeah, absolute.

No more.

- Mad dog: Aw, dis.

What you doing?

Oh, please.

- Diesel: Shut the fuck up.

Oh, god, dis.

Dis. No.

Troy: Hello?

Diesel: Hey, it's me.

Somethin' happened.

- Troy: What?

Diesel: I'm comin' back alone.

Troy: So dog is gone?

Diesel: Yep.

Troy: We were family.

Diesel: Yep.

Troy:

Can't say as I'm surprised.

Well, there's something

you need to know.

The dude that got clipped

in the nursery was Brennan.

You're fucking kidding me, man.

- Not a bit.

Dog killed a

million dollar goose?

Dead as a door nail.

- The guy I just dumped?

Very same.

Fuckin' dog, Jesus Christ.

Well, grecco still thinks

he might be able to get us

a couple of bucks out of this,

but chepe's gonna be pissed.

And I'm the one

that brought the dog into this.

And I'm the one

that vouched for him.

I get it.

So what are we gonna do?

You wanna try to meet

with the Greek

or you think he's gonna try

some shit?

I don't know.

Look, we need money,

and I said as much to him,

and really can't picture

chepe and grecco

whackin' everybody in sight,

but you never know.

I gotta get some stuff, man.

Stop at the store, man.

Shop clerk: Here you go, hon.

- Diesel: Thanks.

Shop manager: Hey, guys.

Uh, a guy inside

is carrying concealed.

Girls up front say he showed up

in that red jag over there.

He doin' anything?

- Well, not yet.

So?

- He's givin' off a bad vibe.

His jacket's all messed up.

Should we call it in?

- I'll take a look inside.

Run the plates.

I'll check it out.

Officer: ID, please.

What's the problem, officer?

Officer: Did you know your

registration was a month out of date?

I was told once that there was

like a four-week grace period.

Or, actually,

maybe even six weeks.

Technically, it isn't any.

Is this your car?

- Yes, I just got it.

Can I see your driver's license,

please?

Sure, have it right here.

That makes it easy.

Okie-doke, Mr. klein.

Will you step out

of the vehicle, please?

Why, am I under arrest?

We've had some

shoplifting complaints.

Do you mind if I take a look

inside your car?

What are you looking for?

Officer: Well, do you have

any stolen merchandise?

No.

Officer: Do you have any

narcotics or a weapon?

No, I do not.

Officer:

Well, what have you got to hide?

Not a thing.

So?

Well, I'm a little cold.

Do you mind if I just get my jacket?

Yeah, that... that wind

really, really kicks up

off of lake erie.

Fuck!

There's the other one!

Officer down, officer down!

Diesel: Fuck.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Stop!

- Diesel: Surprise.

Woo!

Relax!

Troy: Gotta be samurais,

gotta be samurais.

Gotta be samurais, gotta be samurais,

gotta be samurais.

Gotta be samurais,

gotta be samurais,

gotta be samurais,

gotta be samurais.

Jack: How we doin' back there,

Dorothy?

Can I get ya somethin'?

Chocolate milk,

a cock to suck on?

Officer: You know what, Jack?

That's enough.

But he does have a good point.

Not much of a tough guy now,

are ya?

You like fuckin' shootin' cops?

Oh, you're a cute little animal.

Fuck it.

Get this asshole out.

Jack: Smoke this bitch, reg.

- Reggie: Boom!

Jack: Lemme get one.

Go to work, reg.

Reggie: Boom!

Jack: Let me get one, reg.

Jack: Woo!

I got one more in me, reg!

- Reggie: Do it!

I got one more now!

- Do it!

Woo!

Hey, pussy, you had enough?

Yeah.

Jack: Reg,

you think he's had enough?

Let's give him a ride.

I love it when

you talk like that.

Up we go.

Strap his ass up.

There we go.

I am rock hard right now,

sweetheart.

Reggie: Take the wheel, Jack.

Reggie wants to ride.

Woo! Woo!

Woo!

News reporter: In the aftermath

of a bloody shootout

outside apple supermarket,

a police representative

now confirms the deaths

of Troy Cameron and dieson

Carson after an armed pursuit...

Woman: Pretty good, huh?

- Man: Yeah, it was.

Now, get home.

Cute little place, too.

Charles, what is it?

- Get in the car.

Troy: You look like the sort of gent

who might have a big giant pistol

in the trunk or

under the front seat.

It's under the front seat.

All right,

I'll take that pistol.

And we'll head down the road.

Mind if I smoke?

Charlene: Please,

just take our money.

Leave us by the side

of the road.

You can take the car.

I can't do that.

Why not? We won't say anything.

He knows we're gonna call the

police the minute he gets away.

No, we are not.

Charlene, don't tell no lies.

The man know

that's what we're gonna do.

So, what are you folk's name?

I'm Charles Wilson,

this is charlene Wilson.

The reverend Charles Wilson.

- Uh-huh. Reverend, huh?

Where you folks goin' to?

Charles:

It's where we're comin' from.

Charlene: We've been

visitin' in Cincinnati.

Went to visit my daughter's baby

for the first time.

It was you.

Me?

Charles:

On the TV, the shootout.

Yes, but it wasn't

like they say.

Well, how was it?

You ever been inside, reverend?

In the joint?

Charles: Yes, sir.

- Well, then you know.

Guy who has a past,

guy whose made mistakes.

They say they forgive you,

but they never do.

They're always lookin' at ya,

tryin' to catch ya at something.

All we want... heck,

all anybody wants, is justice.

I was explaining to the officer

and she...

She panicked,

she thought I was resisting.

Yeah, that's right, resisting,

and my friend was just

tryin' to save me.

Hey, wait a minute.

I know you know what's what.

Yeah, you understand

how this goes.

And I can tell

you're a good person, too.

You care about your wife.

Yeah, you're a good man.

Well, all right, here's what.

We're real close.

I need to get dropped off.

But I just wanna say one thing,

one thing to put your mind

at ease when we go, all right?

You're gonna make it outta this.

Your wife's gonna be safe,

and you're gonna be fine.

And I promise you,

the only person who's gonna go

down outta this is gonna be me.

Just as long as you do as I say,

which doesn't seem

to be a problem.

Charles: It's no problem at all.

I figured not, so ease up.

You'll be home

before ya know it.

I give ya my word.

My hand.

Charles: All right then.

- Troy.

Charles: Huh?

- Troy, that's my name.

Charles: I'm sorry, I can't...

i can't do this anymore.

Troy: Hang on, I'll take the wheel,

you folks sit in back.

You're not gonna try anything,

are ya?

Charles: No, no, no, sir.

You know who you look like?

You sound like him, too.

Troy: Got any music?

Church music, spirituals.

Troy: I like spirituals.

Charles:

Cassette's in the console.

Troy: Stay where you are.

Officer: Don't move, mister!

Troy:

Is there a problem, officer?

Officer: Freeze!

Troy: I'm kinda lost with

the reverend and the missus.

Officer: That's him!

Don't point that thing at us.

Troy: Justice.

That was what I wanted.

Then I started thinking.

I didn't want justice.

I just wanted what I wanted,

just like everyone,

and the rest of it was verbiage.
