- Yes?
- Jason, I need your help.
- I'm listening.
- [Man] This morning a courier
was attacked and killed
and a very valuable
art object was stolen.
Now we want that object back.
- Valuable enough
to warrant our fee?
- [Man] I'm no sentimentalist.
Hey, it's worth a lot of bread.
- What do we have to go on?
- [Man] Then you
accept the offer?
- Hey baby, we're on
the job right now.
I need all the
information I can get.
- [Man] I'm afraid we
don't have much information
as to who stole it.
What little
information we do have
will be in your
possession directly.
- And payment?
- [Man] Partial
payment is enclosed.
- And the rest?
- [Man] You'll also find a key.
After you deliver you'll
receive instructions
as to what to do with it.
- You're holding me
up, I got work to do.

- Hi Jason.
- Chen.
Billy, do a form for me.
Hey bro, let me see
you work those scythes.
(exciting music)
(grunting)
(shouts)
(shouting)
(mellow music)
That was bad, man.
I didn't know you were so shhh.
- Oh, think you're slick huh?
- Where you been
practicing that one?
(laughing)
- Wow.
- Big bad man.
- You really caught me sleeping.
Where'd that long leg come from?
Alright.
Got us a new job.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
- Oh wow.
- Witch doctor's
fetish, very old.
- Oh right.
- Already looks interesting.
- To me it looking
a little devil.
- This was used by some
village witch doctors
for some pretty heavy curses.
- I'm sure we haven't been
hired to discuss black art.
- Very simply an object was
stolen and we've been hired
to get it back.
- Stolen from a museum?
- No, from the streets.
And a courier was
killed in the process.
- Do we have any
information to work on?
- You're looking at it.
- There's got to
be more than this.
- That's it.
We got one big puzzle,
and the one positive
thing we know for sure
is that somebody
is willing to kill
for that little piece of art.
- Alright, what's
the first step?
- To the streets, find
out everything we can.
- The streets should
be jumping by now.
- I got some sources
I'd just love to tap.
- I bet you do.
- It's not gonna be easy.
- If it was easy they
wouldn't need us for the job.
Right?
- Right.
- Alright, let's go.
(upbeat music)
What do you mean you
don't know nothing?
- [Man] Listen, can
you help me out?
- [Billy] I wanna know
about the art object.
- [Man] I know you
know something.
- [Man] Hey man, I just handed
you another $20 last week
for some groceries and you're
gonna talk some garbage?
- [Billy] What's happening?
- [Man] Need some information.
- [Man] I know you
heard something man.
Look you out here every
day doing your thing.
- [Billy] Hey listen, I
know you know something.
I wanna know, I
don't wanna hurt you.
- [Man] Hey mami come
here, you're looking good.
Come here.
No, I don't want no piece,
I want some information.
(laughing)
- There it is!
- Up top.
(clamoring)
- Hey, Adam.
- Ain't seen you in the
schoolyard for a long time.
- Hey man you owe me one.
- That's right.
- Look I wouldn't
come for help man
if I didn't think
you would help me.
- Good shot, good shot.
- Hey you can't hold.
Yeah, that's nice, nice.
You know what I'm here for.
I mean the word is out,
I need some information.
- Lay up, get that
man over there!
- Right, yeah, you know
something don't you?
I'll take care of you later.
- There it is!
Come on, come on,
run it in, run it in.
- [Adam] Swish.
Listen, remember
that day we got nice?
Yeah, that's the one was said
some art stuff was stolen.
(speaking foreign language)
- Hey, what's happening?
- What's going on man?
- Oh hanging out,
trying to keep cool.
(overlapping voices)
- [Man] Did you hear
about that rip off?
- [Eric] You don't understand.
- [Man] We don't
know what's going on!
It's all around town!
- You gonna have
to pay, listen man.
Yo I want some information.
Do you know what's
happening in the streets?
- No I don't know what's--
- Just slow down and
give me some information.
Do you understand now?
You gonna wind up
like that watch, man.
- Hey what's wrong with you?
- I want some
information from you.
- Information about what?
I can't give you no information.
- About the artifact.
- I tell you I
don't know nothing!
- I want to hear it, the truth!
(shouting)
- [Billy] Couple of
answers, that's all.
- [Man] Sweetheart I'm
very happy to answer
anything I can answer for
you but I just don't know,
I don't know a thing
about that artifact.
- [Man] Hey Jason,

Hey hey, what do you say man?
Haven't seen you
in quite a while.
- [Billy] Need some info.
Where did your
information come from?
I'd like to know
where did you hear it?
- [Man] Oh it's just
around the street.
- [Billy] Just
around the street?
What else is around the street?
- [Man] Nothing
sweetheart, promise.
- [Billy] Come on, shed a
little bit more light on it.
What exactly did you hear?
- [Man] Well I just heard
that this courier fellow
was killed and some case
or something was taken.
- Where did you hear it?
- You're moving--
- Where were you
when you heard it?
I've never lost my
cool around you Bruce
but I'm losing it now.
I just wanna know
what's going on.
- [Man] If I knew--
(funky music)
(shouting and clamoring)
- Hey, haven't seen
you guys in a while.
What's going on?
Sidney, you know there's dice.
- You mean yesterday?
- [Woman] Oh, you owe me one
baby and I'm here to collect.
Okay fella what do you know
about the African art object.
- Okay, that's cool.
- The ripoff.
You know something

You gonna have poop and
piss all over your body.

- Hey lady, que pasa?
- Need some help?
Stolen artifact.
- I don't know.
- [Man] Hey man you owe me one.
- [Jason] I wouldn't
come to you for help man
if I didn't think
you could help me.
I know you can help me.
- [Man] No way.
Talk to somebody else.
- [Billy] Hear anything
about that dude got iced?
- [Man] You know just what's
happening out in the streets,
you spend night
and day out here.
- [Man] Lay off me man!
- [Man] A courier was killed.
Yeah around the corner, right.
- I just remembered, I got
an appointment, gotta split.
Bye bye, later.
(murmuring)
- Hey mami, look here.
What's going on?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your information
is very important.
We looking for this
stolen art, you know.
Yeah I can slide you $5
if you talk about it.
Hey my man.
I need some information.
This art, it was stolen.
- I'm gonna check this out.
- No way.
- You telling me what to do?
- You know it.
(shouting)
(snaps)
Here it is, Z.
It was easy.
- Piece of cake, just
the way you laid it out.
- Man he really went down fast.
- I don't wanna hear about it.
I just wanna see what's
inside this case.
- We didn't open it
just like you said.
- Get me a tool to work with.
- Let me do it Z.
- No I'll handle this myself.
- Oh.
- Oh wow.
- Hey.
- Oh man look at that.
- That's what we
wasted a guy for?
- Z knows what he's doing.
- Man, that's a
spooky looking thing.
- This spooky
looking piece of wood
is worth a lot of
bread to all of us.
Let's call it our
good luck charm.
- Bad news baby.
- I've got the good
news right here.
- You better hold tight baby,
you've got some
tough competition.
- Meaning?
- Meaning Adam was
on my corner asking
pretty heavy questions.
- He the only one?
- Nah, the street was
crawling with them.
Some people got leaned on.
- Are they asking
or are they working?
- Baby they are working.
Nobody looks that hard unless
there's something in it.
- There goes your piece of cake.
- They're after your good news.
- Z, how about we split
til things cool down?
- Way I see it
things don't get cool
when that outfit goes to work.
And you can't spend this.
I need a little time to convert
this to some real bread.
- You can't buy time
with those guys.
- They can be real
sweet and real mean.
- Nobody splits.
I want them out of my way.
- But Z--
- Were you listening, man?
- Waste them all
and waste them fast.
If they're roaming the streets
you can get them one at a time.
And I call that
pretty good odds.
(shouting)
(upbeat funky music)
- What are you doing down here?
I wanna rap to you
about something.
- What's up?
- Yesterday there was
a rip off, it's a simple
thing but I need a little
information, something to go on.
Maybe you saw something.
Or heard something
in the neighborhood.
- [Man] Oh yeah it's
all over the street man.
- [Jason] Did anybody
see who did it?
- He just disappeared.
- Yeah?
Nobody scoped nobody?
- Nobody.
- Okay man, thanks anyway.
- [Man] Enjoy the apple.
(shouting)
(funky music)
- Hello.
- How are you?
- [Billy] Did you hear
about this rip off?
- [Man] You don't understand.
You gonna have poop and
piss all over your body
if you don't give
me some information.
- [Man] You know I
really don't know.
- [Man] Hey baby que pasa?
- [Man] I'll be glad to
do anything in my power
to help you out.
- [Eric] By the way,
here's a donation.
(bells tolling)
(hitting and kicking)
(grunting and shouting)
(upbeat music)
- What is this, Jim?
I wanna know.
I'll beat the hell
out of you and baby
I'm the one to do it so
you better speak up now.
The rip off, the rip off man!
I wanna know about the rip off.
Or I'll slap your
head into this car.
I wanna know about it man.
- You working that
kick I showed you?
Yeah you always
tell me you work.
I'm gonna see, look,
come over here.
Come on, set up.
Alright let me see that kick.
Come on, throw the kick.
Alright, come on,
throw it again.
Alright this time
dig it right here.
Come on, put it in there.
Everything's cool man.
Here's a quarter, go down the
block, get yourself a soda.
I see you around.
(shouting)
Where's the merchandise?
Who copped that merchandise?
- I don't know!
- Who killed that courier
and took the package?
- I don't know!
- Tell me.
Who did it?
Who's in charge of this whole
set up, who's in charge?
Come on punk, give it up.
Give it up.
- I don't know, I don't know!
- Else you'll be like the
rest of those eight dudes
out there just laying with
your face in the gutter.
- I don't know!
- Ho.
- Take it easy.
- How'd you make out?
- Oh nothing happening.
People know
something's up though.
- Got the same feeling.
Got an unusual amount of hassle.
The streets are holding back.
- Sounds like some
mean dudes involved
'cause everybody's uptight.
- It's a strange rip off.
Not the typical street action.
Had some trouble baby?
- Oh not much.
I'm not even an even match.
There were only five of them.
- Oh, listen to the sister.
- They were so easy even
you coulda handled them.
- Tough mama.
- They came outta nowhere
like it was a set up.
- Sounds like the hounds
are after the fox.
- Yeah those dudes
were primed and ready,
it was no chance beating 'em.
- We got a lot of
hassle on the streets,
how'd you make out?
- Nobody said so, but
it sounds like the mob
and mob with a capital Z.
- You said it baby.
That's the man.
- Where you been, brother?
We been searching
all over for you.
- Oh I just hooked up with
some real rough dudes man.
- Billy just played
the same scene.
- Yeah I know.
- You know?
- One of those gentlemen,
he was unfortunate
to stay behind
for a little hand to hand.
With none other
than yours truly.
- What did you find out?
- Some very interesting items.
One, Z is the man.
Two, Z's got squads of muscle
looking for each one of us.
Three, the merchandise
is in his possession.
And it is presently
located at this address.
- I have the distinct feeling
that four very fine cats
are about to pay a visit
to 427 Verity Street.
- Whoa, slow down.
You just don't fly
in the spider's web
without knowing
where you're heading.
- What did the dude
do, draw you a map?
- Yeah.
- I cased the joint.
- Man, I never wanna mess
with a broad like that again.
- You mean she really put
you out of commission?
- Where's Skinny?
- Last I saw Jason had
him against the wall.
- What do you
mean, last you saw?
- We split.
That's called survival.
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
- [Billy] Come on
we gotta find it.
- It's gotta be here somewhere.
- [Billy] Not over here.
- Obviously it's not here.
It must be at Z's.
- Well, then to Z's we go.
- [Billy] Come on, let's go.
- [Jason] Alright she's always
ready, she's always ready.
- [Billy] You said it brother.
(groaning)
(exciting music)
- [Jason] Man we really
wrecked the joint.
- [Billy] Yeah.
- [Jason] Too bad we
couldn't have wrapped it up
right there.
- [Billy] I'll bet Z has a
lot of muscle as his place.
- [Eric] They better be more
together than those guys were.
- [Billy] It was like
picking off flies.
- [Adam] Come on Jason.
Can't you push it
a little faster?
I've got a heavy date.
- [Jason] I hope you're
willing to practice
a whole lot of patience, bro.
- [Adam] I'm not
worried, she'll wait.
- [Jason] Enough.
Let's cut through the woods
and give Z a little
surprise party.
- [Billy] That sounds like fun.
Let's get this thing moving.

(applauding)
- My, even the music
is impressive, Z.
But I didn't come for a party.
- Oh yes, we do have a
little business transaction
to discuss, don't we?
- Shall we leave the
festivities to your friends?
- Charming Miss
Morris, charming.
Would you accompany me
to the pool house please?
- Delighted.
(light funky music)
- Can I get you anything?
- Cut the crap, Z.
- Felecia you offend me.
Can't afford to be
too impatient, can we?
- Where's the merchandise?
- The merchandise is here.
Isn't it fascinating that
a witch doctor's fetish
can hold such a strong
resemblance to its buyer.
- Only in its power.
Well done.
- It's a little early to
be possessive, isn't it?
- The money's ready and waiting.
- I'm afraid it's not
going to be that simple.
- Hey we agreed on a firm price.
I'm not here to negotiate.
- In plain English, it's
getting pretty hot out there.
There are other
people interested in
this little antique.
- That doesn't concern me!
I paid you to take
care of something
and I expect you to keep
your end of the bargain.
- I intend to keep every
part of my bargain!
The price has gone up.
Inflation.
You understand.
- Bastard.
So what's the price now?
- A mere 100,000 more.
- I'll need til tonight
to get the rest of
the money together.
(laughs)
- Not even a hesitation.
Alright, delivery
tomorrow morning.
I've got no more time for games.
- Nor do I.
10 o'clock, my place.
- Excuse me.
- I think you better leave now,
there may be some trouble ahead.
- 10 o'clock sharp.
- Use the back door.
Get them before they get here.
- They've come in the back way.
I think we can trap
'em in the woods.
- No guns man.
I've got a lot of very
respectable people out there.
Send as many men as you need.
(murmuring)
- You hear that music?
They must be really
partying over there at Z's.
Fine scenery.
Z's gonna really be surprised.
You see what I see?
Let's just keep on truckin'
like we don't see 'em.
- Combat situation.
- You got it.
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
Alright.
(funky music)
- You're out of your minds,
you'll never get away with this.
- We're out of our minds?
We left your muscle
lying in the woods.
- Stop jiving man,
where's that artifact?
- Jason, do you mind if I use
a little bit of
feminine persuasion?
- [Jason] Oh by all means, baby.
(shouting)
- Alright, alright.
(coughing)
- Okay Billy.
- Alright, let me up.
- Okay Billy.
(coughing)
Move dude or I'll rip
you and your face apart.
- Let's be reasonable, will you?
This old witch doctor's toy
means an awful lot to me.
I have a buyer right now
who's getting the cash,
I can have delivery
tomorrow morning.
What do you say we
split it, 50/50?
- Big payoff!
Such a generous dude!
- Yeah Billy, that's right.
He's more than generous.
Now let me see.
He gets 50% and we get 50%.
Now there's one of
him and four of us.
Which means that
I get 25% of 50%.
With a total of 12.5%?
- Your math is faulty.
The way I see it, we now possess
this lovely piece of art.
That means we've got
100% and Z's got nothing.
Baby, my money just doubled
and you didn't even know it.
- No deals man,
let's get outta here.
Get Z!
(screaming)
(exciting music)
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
(funky music)
- Quite a day's work,
wouldn't you say?
- We got quite a day's
work in front of us man.
- You never stop, do you Jason?
- Hey man, I have too
much bread involved.
And what are you
complaining about?
Didn't we go to a
real swinging party?
- Really moving.
- I don't think we'll
ever be invited again.
- The way I figure it
Z's got three choices.
He can either go to that
crum pad on Verity Street
or double back to his joint
or go directly to his buyer.
- The buyer doesn't figure.
- Why not?
- Z said the buyer
was in the process
of putting the money together
for a morning pickup.
(snaps)
- Right.
That's leaves the
other alternatives.
- Let's bust up both places.
- I thought you weren't
feeling like Wonder Woman.
- Very funny.
- Let's not jump so fast.
If we play our cards right
we could hit the jackpot.
Eric, you and Adam go
on over to Verity Street
and Billy and I will
double back to Z's pad.
If he shows his
face, we'll nail him.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
No question, he's in there.
- You signal Adam and Eric.
I'm going to sneak up to Z's car
and plant this
handy little beeper.
- We don't want him to see us.
- Don't worry about that.
We're cool man.
Chillin'.
(suspenseful music)
(dog barking and growling)
(clatters)
Invisible assassin.
Freakin' out.
- Adam and Eric are
on their way Jason
so Z's going to pull the handle
and we'll come up
with the payoff.
(light music)
- Listen let's get out and
wait for Adam and Eric.
This way I can stretch my legs.
- Yeah I'd like to move
around a little bit myself.
- That little dog.
(mumbles)
You dig my ninja routine?
- [Billy] I saw
you flying brother.
- [Jason] Oh, our two brothers.
- [Billy] Yeah,
that's Eric's wheels.
- Hey brother what's happening?
- Oh nothing much,
what's going on?
Taking care of business?
- You take of business, you
know I take care of my business.
(mumbling)
- Nice, beautiful.
What's happening in the house?
Not too much, waiting
for that thing.
(birds chirping)
- Everything all set?
- [Felecia] Just
as I said, 10 A.M.
- No games, my dear.
Things got very rough
after you left last night.
I've gotta move and move fast.
- [Felecia] Everything is set.
Just bring the merchandise.
- I'm on my way.
After you drop me off at
Felecia's round up the boys
and meet me there.
- Good idea.
- Let's get going.
(upbeat music)
- [Billy] Wish we had
time for a cup of coffee.
- [Adam] Yeah, that's not
all I wish I had time for.
My woman's been waiting and
I spent the night in the car.
(beeping)
- [Eric] From the sound of it
we're getting a little close.
- [Billy] Yeah, pull back Jason.
We don't want him to see us.
- [Jason] Hey we're cool man.
Our tracker's doing its job.
I'm tailing him right
down to the line.

- This way sir.
Miss. Morris is expecting you.
(clock chiming)
- My compliments,
you're quite prompt.
- You got the money?
- As arranged.
- Good, let's make the exchange.
- The case please.
- Do you mind if I check
the contents of this case?
- It's no double-cross,
it's all there.
- It's a pleasure doing
business with you.
- My my Z, what's
happened to our repartee?
Where's your subtlety,
your finesse?
- I've got no time for that.
My uninvited guest took
care of that yesterday.
- [Man] Hey, look
out, here they come!
- Stop, stop!
- You.
- We meet again.
- Allow me to make
introductions.
We are the picker-uppers.
Z delivers, you deliver,
and we take them all.
(laughing)
- Jackpot!
(kisses and blows)
(funky music)
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
- The car.
- It's time to call our man.
- Right.
- You know, I've seen
a lot of African art
and the more I see this fetish
the less I understand
this whole setup.
- What do you mean?
- The streets were
jumping, right?
- [Jason] Right.
- Everybody put up a lot of
bread and a lot of muscle.
And this just isn't worth it.
- Hey I'm no art critic but
the same thing crossed my mind.
- Well if I read you right
there must be more to
this whole situation.
- This jackpot is growing
bigger and bigger.
- The book says a
witch doctor's fetish
is supposed to be hollow.
(taps)
So that they can fill it
with mean evil things, right?
- Come on man, where
is that hollow spot?
- Let me see inside.
- You really had us going.
No evil stuff, no
buried treasure.
Too bad.
- Guess we struck out.
- Yeah.
- Trust my vibes, something's
just not right here.
- Alright everybody,
slow down a minute.
Let's put the pieces
together logically.
We feel that this
artifact is not worth
all the effort we put
into recovering it.
But then there's a lot of
heavy people who think it is.
(snaps)
Wait a minute.
- Maybe we've been looking
at the wrong thing?
- [Jason] Eric I know
just what's in your mind.
- Can I make this a threesome?
- Hey!
- That's it alright.
- Jackpot!
(whistles)
Alright.
- Pure heroin.
(laughs)
- Hey, this ain't no
small time haul, is it?
- No.
- You know something?
Now the pieces fit together.
- I'll dump this junk and see
that it never
reaches the streets.
- That's cool man.
We dump the stuff and
deliver the fetish.
- And that leaves
Z holding the bag.
- Hey man, a triple ripoff!
Let's split.
- Alright, okay.

- Yes?
- Jason, I need your help.
- I'm listening.
- [Man] This morning a courier
was attacked and killed
and a very valuable
art object was stolen.
Now we want that object back.
- Valuable enough
to warrant our fee?
- [Man] I'm no sentimentalist.
Hey, it's worth a lot of bread.
- What do we have to go on?
- [Man] Then you
accept the offer?
- Hey baby, we're on
the job right now.
I need all the
information I can get.
- [Man] I'm afraid we
don't have much information
as to who stole it.
What little
information we do have
will be in your
possession directly.
- And payment?
- [Man] Partial
payment is enclosed.
- And the rest?
- [Man] You'll also find a key.
After you deliver you'll
receive instructions
as to what to do with it.
- You're holding me
up, I got work to do.

- Hi Jason.
- Chen.
Billy, do a form for me.
Hey bro, let me see
you work those scythes.
(exciting music)
(grunting)
(shouts)
(shouting)
(mellow music)
That was bad, man.
I didn't know you were so shhh.
- Oh, think you're slick huh?
- Where you been
practicing that one?
(laughing)
- Wow.
- Big bad man.
- You really caught me sleeping.
Where'd that long leg come from?
Alright.
Got us a new job.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
- Oh wow.
- Witch doctor's
fetish, very old.
- Oh right.
- Already looks interesting.
- To me it looking
a little devil.
- This was used by some
village witch doctors
for some pretty heavy curses.
- I'm sure we haven't been
hired to discuss black art.
- Very simply an object was
stolen and we've been hired
to get it back.
- Stolen from a museum?
- No, from the streets.
And a courier was
killed in the process.
- Do we have any
information to work on?
- You're looking at it.
- There's got to
be more than this.
- That's it.
We got one big puzzle,
and the one positive
thing we know for sure
is that somebody
is willing to kill
for that little piece of art.
- Alright, what's
the first step?
- To the streets, find
out everything we can.
- The streets should
be jumping by now.
- I got some sources
I'd just love to tap.
- I bet you do.
- It's not gonna be easy.
- If it was easy they
wouldn't need us for the job.
Right?
- Right.
- Alright, let's go.
(upbeat music)
What do you mean you
don't know nothing?
- [Man] Listen, can
you help me out?
- [Billy] I wanna know
about the art object.
- [Man] I know you
know something.
- [Man] Hey man, I just handed
you another $20 last week
for some groceries and you're
gonna talk some garbage?
- [Billy] What's happening?
- [Man] Need some information.
- [Man] I know you
heard something man.
Look you out here every
day doing your thing.
- [Billy] Hey listen, I
know you know something.
I wanna know, I
don't wanna hurt you.
- [Man] Hey mami come
here, you're looking good.
Come here.
No, I don't want no piece,
I want some information.
(laughing)
- There it is!
- Up top.
(clamoring)
- Hey, Adam.
- Ain't seen you in the
schoolyard for a long time.
- Hey man you owe me one.
- That's right.
- Look I wouldn't
come for help man
if I didn't think
you would help me.
- Good shot, good shot.
- Hey you can't hold.
Yeah, that's nice, nice.
You know what I'm here for.
I mean the word is out,
I need some information.
- Lay up, get that
man over there!
- Right, yeah, you know
something don't you?
I'll take care of you later.
- There it is!
Come on, come on,
run it in, run it in.
- [Adam] Swish.
Listen, remember
that day we got nice?
Yeah, that's the one was said
some art stuff was stolen.
(speaking foreign language)
- Hey, what's happening?
- What's going on man?
- Oh hanging out,
trying to keep cool.
(overlapping voices)
- [Man] Did you hear
about that rip off?
- [Eric] You don't understand.
- [Man] We don't
know what's going on!
It's all around town!
- You gonna have
to pay, listen man.
Yo I want some information.
Do you know what's
happening in the streets?
- No I don't know what's--
- Just slow down and
give me some information.
Do you understand now?
You gonna wind up
like that watch, man.
- Hey what's wrong with you?
- I want some
information from you.
- Information about what?
I can't give you no information.
- About the artifact.
- I tell you I
don't know nothing!
- I want to hear it, the truth!
(shouting)
- [Billy] Couple of
answers, that's all.
- [Man] Sweetheart I'm
very happy to answer
anything I can answer for
you but I just don't know,
I don't know a thing
about that artifact.
- [Man] Hey Jason,
what's happening baby?
Hey hey, what do you say man?
Haven't seen you
in quite a while.
- [Billy] Need some info.
Where did your
information come from?
I'd like to know
where did you hear it?
- [Man] Oh it's just
around the street.
- [Billy] Just
around the street?
What else is around the street?
- [Man] Nothing
sweetheart, promise.
- [Billy] Come on, shed a
little bit more light on it.
What exactly did you hear?
- [Man] Well I just heard
that this courier fellow
was killed and some case
or something was taken.
- Where did you hear it?
- You're moving--
- Where were you
when you heard it?
I've never lost my
cool around you Bruce
but I'm losing it now.
I just wanna know
what's going on.
- [Man] If I knew--
(funky music)
(shouting and clamoring)
- Hey, haven't seen
you guys in a while.
What's going on?
Sidney, you know there's dice.
- You mean yesterday?
- [Woman] Oh, you owe me one
baby and I'm here to collect.
Okay fella what do you know
about the African art object.
- Okay, that's cool.
- The ripoff.
You know something
about it, come on man.
I think you know something.

- [Billy] It's

You owe me one, baby.
I'm here to collect.
- Okay.
- Okay fella,

- You mean yesterday?
- You owe me one baby.
Not me baby, what's happening?
- [Jason] It was a little
statue, it had four arms,
two arms are facing up, two
arms are facing out and front.
- [Adam] The rip off,
you know something.
- [Billy] You hear
about that rip off?
- [Eric] You don't understand.
You gonna have poop and
piss all over your body.
- [Jason] Alright seven,

Later bro.
(speaking foreign language)
- [Man] You know I
really don't know.
- Hey lady, que pasa?
- Need some help?
Stolen artifact.
- I don't know.
- [Man] Hey man you owe me one.
- [Jason] I wouldn't
come to you for help man
if I didn't think
you could help me.
I know you can help me.
- [Man] No way.
Talk to somebody else.
- [Billy] Hear anything
about that dude got iced?
- [Man] You know just what's
happening out in the streets,
you spend night
and day out here.
- [Man] Lay off me man!
- [Man] A courier was killed.
Yeah around the corner, right.
- I just remembered, I got
an appointment, gotta split.
Bye bye, later.
(murmuring)
- Hey mami, look here.
What's going on?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your information
is very important.
We looking for this
stolen art, you know.
Yeah I can slide you $5
if you talk about it.
Hey my man.
I need some information.
This art, it was stolen.
- I'm gonna check this out.
- No way.
- You telling me what to do?
- You know it.
(shouting)
(snaps)
Here it is, Z.
It was easy.
- Piece of cake, just
the way you laid it out.
- Man he really went down fast.
- I don't wanna hear about it.
I just wanna see what's
inside this case.
- We didn't open it
just like you said.
- Get me a tool to work with.
- Let me do it Z.
- No I'll handle this myself.
- Oh.
- Oh wow.
- Hey.
- Oh man look at that.
- That's what we
wasted a guy for?
- Z knows what he's doing.
- Man, that's a
spooky looking thing.
- This spooky
looking piece of wood
is worth a lot of
bread to all of us.
Let's call it our
good luck charm.
- Bad news baby.
- I've got the good
news right here.
- You better hold tight baby,
you've got some
tough competition.
- Meaning?
- Meaning Adam was
on my corner asking
pretty heavy questions.
- He the only one?
- Nah, the street was
crawling with them.
Some people got leaned on.
- Are they asking
or are they working?
- Baby they are working.
Nobody looks that hard unless
there's something in it.
- There goes your piece of cake.
- They're after your good news.
- Z, how about we split
til things cool down?
- Way I see it
things don't get cool
when that outfit goes to work.
And you can't spend this.
I need a little time to convert
this to some real bread.
- You can't buy time
with those guys.
- They can be real
sweet and real mean.
- Nobody splits.
I want them out of my way.
- But Z--
- Were you listening, man?
- Waste them all
and waste them fast.
If they're roaming the streets
you can get them one at a time.
And I call that
pretty good odds.
(shouting)
(upbeat funky music)
- What are you doing down here?
I wanna rap to you
about something.
- What's up?
- Yesterday there was
a rip off, it's a simple
thing but I need a little
information, something to go on.
Maybe you saw something.
Or heard something
in the neighborhood.
- [Man] Oh yeah it's
all over the street man.
- [Jason] Did anybody
see who did it?
- He just disappeared.
- Yeah?
Nobody scoped nobody?
- Nobody.
- Okay man, thanks anyway.
- [Man] Enjoy the apple.
(shouting)
(funky music)
- Hello.
- How are you?
- [Billy] Did you hear
about this rip off?
- [Man] You don't understand.
You gonna have poop and
piss all over your body
if you don't give
me some information.
- [Man] You know I
really don't know.
- [Man] Hey baby que pasa?
- [Man] I'll be glad to
do anything in my power
to help you out.
- [Eric] By the way,
here's a donation.
(bells tolling)
(hitting and kicking)
(grunting and shouting)
(upbeat music)
- What is this, Jim?
I wanna know.
I'll beat the hell
out of you and baby
I'm the one to do it so
you better speak up now.
The rip off, the rip off man!
I wanna know about the rip off.
Or I'll slap your
head into this car.
I wanna know about it man.
- You working that
kick I showed you?
Yeah you always
tell me you work.
I'm gonna see, look,
come over here.
Come on, set up.
Alright let me see that kick.
Come on, throw the kick.
Alright, come on,
throw it again.
Alright this time
dig it right here.
Come on, put it in there.
Everything's cool man.
Here's a quarter, go down the
block, get yourself a soda.
I see you around.
(shouting)
Where's the merchandise?
Who copped that merchandise?
- I don't know!
- Who killed that courier
and took the package?
- I don't know!
- Tell me.
Who did it?
Who's in charge of this whole
set up, who's in charge?
Come on punk, give it up.
Give it up.
- I don't know, I don't know!
- Else you'll be like the
rest of those eight dudes
out there just laying with
your face in the gutter.
- I don't know!
- Ho.
- Take it easy.
- How'd you make out?
- Oh nothing happening.
People know
something's up though.
- Got the same feeling.
Got an unusual amount of hassle.
The streets are holding back.
- Sounds like some
mean dudes involved
'cause everybody's uptight.
- It's a strange rip off.
Not the typical street action.
Had some trouble baby?
- Oh not much.
I'm not even an even match.
There were only five of them.
- Oh, listen to the sister.
- They were so easy even
you coulda handled them.
- Tough mama.
- They came outta nowhere
like it was a set up.
- Sounds like the hounds
are after the fox.
- Yeah those dudes
were primed and ready,
it was no chance beating 'em.
- We got a lot of
hassle on the streets,
how'd you make out?
- Nobody said so, but
it sounds like the mob
and mob with a capital Z.
- You said it baby.
That's the man.
- Where you been, brother?
We been searching
all over for you.
- Oh I just hooked up with
some real rough dudes man.
- Billy just played
the same scene.
- Yeah I know.
- You know?
- One of those gentlemen,
he was unfortunate
to stay behind
for a little hand to hand.
With none other
than yours truly.
- What did you find out?
- Some very interesting items.
One, Z is the man.
Two, Z's got squads of muscle
looking for each one of us.
Three, the merchandise
is in his possession.
And it is presently
located at this address.
- I have the distinct feeling
that four very fine cats
are about to pay a visit
to 427 Verity Street.
- Whoa, slow down.
You just don't fly
in the spider's web
without knowing
where you're heading.
- What did the dude
do, draw you a map?
- Yeah.
- I cased the joint.
- Man, I never wanna mess
with a broad like that again.
- You mean she really put
you out of commission?
- Where's Skinny?
- Last I saw Jason had
him against the wall.
- What do you
mean, last you saw?
- We split.
That's called survival.
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
- [Billy] Come on
we gotta find it.
- It's gotta be here somewhere.
- [Billy] Not over here.
- Obviously it's not here.
It must be at Z's.
- Well, then to Z's we go.
- [Billy] Come on, let's go.
- [Jason] Alright she's always
ready, she's always ready.
- [Billy] You said it brother.
(groaning)
(exciting music)
- [Jason] Man we really
wrecked the joint.
- [Billy] Yeah.
- [Jason] Too bad we
couldn't have wrapped it up
right there.
- [Billy] I'll bet Z has a
lot of muscle as his place.
- [Eric] They better be more
together than those guys were.
- [Billy] It was like
picking off flies.
- [Adam] Come on Jason.
Can't you push it
a little faster?
I've got a heavy date.
- [Jason] I hope you're
willing to practice
a whole lot of patience, bro.
- [Adam] I'm not
worried, she'll wait.
- [Jason] Enough.
Let's cut through the woods
and give Z a little
surprise party.
- [Billy] That sounds like fun.
Let's get this thing moving.
- [Jason] Right.

(applauding)
- My, even the music
is impressive, Z.
But I didn't come for a party.
- Oh yes, we do have a
little business transaction
to discuss, don't we?
- Shall we leave the
festivities to your friends?
- Charming Miss
Morris, charming.
Would you accompany me
to the pool house please?
- Delighted.
(light funky music)
- Can I get you anything?
- Cut the crap, Z.
- Felecia you offend me.
Can't afford to be
too impatient, can we?
- Where's the merchandise?
- The merchandise is here.
Isn't it fascinating that
a witch doctor's fetish
can hold such a strong
resemblance to its buyer.
- Only in its power.
Well done.
- It's a little early to
be possessive, isn't it?
- The money's ready and waiting.
- I'm afraid it's not
going to be that simple.
- Hey we agreed on a firm price.
I'm not here to negotiate.
- In plain English, it's
getting pretty hot out there.
There are other
people interested in
this little antique.
- That doesn't concern me!
I paid you to take
care of something
and I expect you to keep
your end of the bargain.
- I intend to keep every
part of my bargain!
The price has gone up.
Inflation.
You understand.
- Bastard.
So what's the price now?
- A mere 100,000 more.
- I'll need til tonight
to get the rest of
the money together.
(laughs)
- Not even a hesitation.
Alright, delivery
tomorrow morning.
I've got no more time for games.
- Nor do I.
10 o'clock, my place.
- Excuse me.
- I think you better leave now,
there may be some trouble ahead.
- 10 o'clock sharp.
- Use the back door.
Get them before they get here.
- They've come in the back way.
I think we can trap
'em in the woods.
- No guns man.
I've got a lot of very
respectable people out there.
Send as many men as you need.
(murmuring)
- You hear that music?
They must be really
partying over there at Z's.
Fine scenery.
Z's gonna really be surprised.
You see what I see?
Let's just keep on truckin'
like we don't see 'em.
- Combat situation.
- You got it.
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
Alright.
(funky music)
- You're out of your minds,
you'll never get away with this.
- We're out of our minds?
We left your muscle
lying in the woods.
- Stop jiving man,
where's that artifact?
- Jason, do you mind if I use
a little bit of
feminine persuasion?
- [Jason] Oh by all means, baby.
(shouting)
- Alright, alright.
(coughing)
- Okay Billy.
- Alright, let me up.
- Okay Billy.
(coughing)
Move dude or I'll rip
you and your face apart.
- Let's be reasonable, will you?
This old witch doctor's toy
means an awful lot to me.
I have a buyer right now
who's getting the cash,
I can have delivery
tomorrow morning.
What do you say we
split it, 50/50?
- Big payoff!
Such a generous dude!
- Yeah Billy, that's right.
He's more than generous.
Now let me see.
He gets 50% and we get 50%.
Now there's one of
him and four of us.
Which means that
I get 25% of 50%.
With a total of 12.5%?
- Your math is faulty.
The way I see it, we now possess
this lovely piece of art.
That means we've got
100% and Z's got nothing.
Baby, my money just doubled
and you didn't even know it.
- No deals man,
let's get outta here.
Get Z!
(screaming)
(exciting music)
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
(funky music)
- Quite a day's work,
wouldn't you say?
- We got quite a day's
work in front of us man.
- You never stop, do you Jason?
- Hey man, I have too
much bread involved.
And what are you
complaining about?
Didn't we go to a
real swinging party?
- Really moving.
- I don't think we'll
ever be invited again.
- The way I figure it
Z's got three choices.
He can either go to that
crum pad on Verity Street
or double back to his joint
or go directly to his buyer.
- The buyer doesn't figure.
- Why not?
- Z said the buyer
was in the process
of putting the money together
for a morning pickup.
(snaps)
- Right.
That's leaves the
other alternatives.
- Let's bust up both places.
- I thought you weren't
feeling like Wonder Woman.
- Very funny.
- Let's not jump so fast.
If we play our cards right
we could hit the jackpot.
Eric, you and Adam go
on over to Verity Street
and Billy and I will
double back to Z's pad.
If he shows his
face, we'll nail him.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
No question, he's in there.
- You signal Adam and Eric.
I'm going to sneak up to Z's car
and plant this
handy little beeper.
- We don't want him to see us.
- Don't worry about that.
We're cool man.
Chillin'.
(suspenseful music)
(dog barking and growling)
(clatters)
Invisible assassin.
Freakin' out.
- Adam and Eric are
on their way Jason
so Z's going to pull the handle
and we'll come up
with the payoff.
(light music)
- Listen let's get out and
wait for Adam and Eric.
This way I can stretch my legs.
- Yeah I'd like to move
around a little bit myself.
- That little dog.
(mumbles)
You dig my ninja routine?
- [Billy] I saw
you flying brother.
- [Jason] Oh, our two brothers.
- [Billy] Yeah,
that's Eric's wheels.
- Hey brother what's happening?
- Oh nothing much,
what's going on?
Taking care of business?
- You take of business, you
know I take care of my business.
(mumbling)
- Nice, beautiful.
What's happening in the house?
Not too much, waiting
for that thing.
(birds chirping)
- Everything all set?
- [Felecia] Just
as I said, 10 A.M.
- No games, my dear.
Things got very rough
after you left last night.
I've gotta move and move fast.
- [Felecia] Everything is set.
Just bring the merchandise.
- I'm on my way.
After you drop me off at
Felecia's round up the boys
and meet me there.
- Good idea.
- Let's get going.
(upbeat music)
- [Billy] Wish we had
time for a cup of coffee.
- [Adam] Yeah, that's not
all I wish I had time for.
My woman's been waiting and
I spent the night in the car.
(beeping)
- [Eric] From the sound of it
we're getting a little close.
- [Billy] Yeah, pull back Jason.
We don't want him to see us.
- [Jason] Hey we're cool man.
Our tracker's doing its job.
I'm tailing him right
down to the line.

- This way sir.
Miss. Morris is expecting you.
(clock chiming)
- My compliments,
you're quite prompt.
- You got the money?
- As arranged.
- Good, let's make the exchange.
- The case please.
- Do you mind if I check
the contents of this case?
- It's no double-cross,
it's all there.
- It's a pleasure doing
business with you.
- My my Z, what's
happened to our repartee?
Where's your subtlety,
your finesse?
- I've got no time for that.
My uninvited guest took
care of that yesterday.
- [Man] Hey, look
out, here they come!
- Stop, stop!
- You.
- We meet again.
- Allow me to make
introductions.
We are the picker-uppers.
Z delivers, you deliver,
and we take them all.
(laughing)
- Jackpot!
(kisses and blows)
(funky music)
(shouting)
(hitting and kicking)
- The car.
- It's time to call our man.
- Right.
- You know, I've seen
a lot of African art
and the more I see this fetish
the less I understand
this whole setup.
- What do you mean?
- The streets were
jumping, right?
- [Jason] Right.
- Everybody put up a lot of
bread and a lot of muscle.
And this just isn't worth it.
- Hey I'm no art critic but
the same thing crossed my mind.
- Well if I read you right
there must be more to
this whole situation.
- This jackpot is growing
bigger and bigger.
- The book says a
witch doctor's fetish
is supposed to be hollow.
(taps)
So that they can fill it
with mean evil things, right?
- Come on man, where
is that hollow spot?
- Let me see inside.
- You really had us going.
No evil stuff, no
buried treasure.
Too bad.
- Guess we struck out.
- Yeah.
- Trust my vibes, something's
just not right here.
- Alright everybody,
slow down a minute.
Let's put the pieces
together logically.
We feel that this
artifact is not worth
all the effort we put
into recovering it.
But then there's a lot of
heavy people who think it is.
(snaps)
Wait a minute.
- Maybe we've been looking
at the wrong thing?
- [Jason] Eric I know
just what's in your mind.
- Can I make this a threesome?
- Hey!
- That's it alright.
- Jackpot!
(whistles)
Alright.
- Pure heroin.
(laughs)
- Hey, this ain't no
small time haul, is it?
- No.
- You know something?
Now the pieces fit together.
- I'll dump this junk and see
that it never
reaches the streets.
- That's cool man.
We dump the stuff and
deliver the fetish.
- And that leaves
Z holding the bag.
- Hey man, a triple ripoff!
Let's split.
- Alright, okay.
