- Trying to help you.

Cuffs off me.

I'm sorry, Emily.

You should
be nicer to that one.

I know, I know.

She's
just doing her job.

What happened to you?

It was freedom at first.

We didn't give a shit,

and we couldn't remember
why we ever did.

We were rebels, outlaws even.

You see, the
point of the mosh pit

was to get to the

I always got to the front.

That's where you find the
fuck ups, the dropouts,

the sinners, the cowboys,

the people still on the
good side of a bad night.

♪ Doctor singing trees ♪

♪ Turn out the light ♪

I'm talking like real
fucking rock and roll man.

We can do it, we totally could,

let's fucking do it, you know.

We need something
new, something fresh,

with a lot of fucking
noise, you know.

Again, if you know
anybody with a bass

it's gonna be so fucking huge,

like I could play the
fuck out of the bass,

but I just don't have
the scratch right now.

Oh, and drums, we're gonna
need a huge fucking set.

Lots of toms, lots of
symbols, big fucking sound,

it's gonna be fucking
beautiful man.

Slim was absolutely
insane, you know,

a complete nihilistic
and anarchist,

what ever you wanna call it,

at times he was downright evil.

But I loved his energy,
he had a screw loose,

I mean his brain was
fucked just like mine.

We were the same.

We even started a band but
only ever played one gig.

One, two, one, two, three, four.

♪ I don't give a fuck yeah ♪

♪ I just wanna fuck ♪

♪ I don't give a fuck you ♪

♪ I just wanna fuck ♪

Who wants to come
up here and fuck me?

Get the fuck off my stage.

Fucking fuck.

You'll never get another
gig in this fucking city.

Society will
strangle you if you let it.

I've been suffocating
for too long

and finally I could breathe.

No alarm to wake up to,

nothing scheduled,
no small talk,

no ties to anything and
nothing to care for.

Free to explore, to do
whatever the fuck I wanted.

Raleigh was our plug.

He could get you anything
you could ever need.

Speed, DMT, coke,
molly, zanies, atties,

ketamine, codeine,
LSD, guns, girls, guys,

body organs, you name it.

I do have some fucking weed
too if you wanna come down

and just sorta relax
and mellow the fuck out.

You wouldn't know
it by looking at him,

but Raleigh came from
some serious money.

His parents live in one
of those swanky suburbs

on the edge of the city

and that's where he
whipped up his supply,

right under their noses.

I'm telling you, this
is all the best shit

you can get around here.

Mommy and daddy thought
their honor student

would be a chemist one day,

or maybe a lawyer.

Drugs and deaths were what
really got him off though.

He wanted to be a mortician.

I guess that's why he spent
all the time in the graveyard.

We kept him around
because he cut us a deal

and made us laugh, but he
never had to worry about

his next meal or a
dry place to sleep.

He wasn't one of us.

Thanks man, yeah, fuck.

Come on you dumb fuckers.

Hello.

Fuck yeah man, thanks.

No, in your fucking
little bicycle car.

What about you,
you got any change?

You're on your
fucking headphones

you god damn fucking
cocksucker, fuck you.

Nice jeep, fucker.

Fuck.

It's amazing how quickly
my appearance went to shit.

I almost didn't
recognize myself.

I mostly saw hatred.

I hated what I'd become.

Fuck you.

It wasn't long before I was
sick of the dumpster diving,

the begging for
change, stealing shit.

I needed to get a job,

something that would give me
enough change in my pocket

to get a fucking hamburger
and a few cold beers.

So you have a car?

You got a phone number
I can reach you at?

Is this your first taxi gig?

You know ah, ah, um.

The fuck does that mean?

Either you do or you don't.

How 'bout a home address?

But it's...

Are your license up to date?

Not exactly.

I don't know it off
the top of my head,

I just moved into this new place

and I think they're
doing some rezoning

or something like that.

I suspect an acquaintance
of mine to have stolen it,

but I can't prove
that and obviously

he's not going to admit
it if he did steal it,

so I can't help you there.

I'm crashing with
a friend of mine.

I don't actually have a
functioning license at this time.

I'm in all sorts of shit.

Punk, metal, doom
metal, stoner metal.

Is it suspended?

Indi rock, new rock, new
wave, no wave, chill wave,

I mean you name it,
I'm into it man.

How the fuck are you
gonna deliver pizzas

if you don't have a car?

How the hell are
you gonna drive

a cab around here
without a license?

Fuck it, can you start now?

What the hell is this,
what are you doing here?

There's a line.

Yeah man, I was just
doing some product testing,

a little bit of market research.

Ah, what?

When do I get a break?

You know what, this
isn't gonna work out,

get the fuck out of here.

What the fuck
are you looking at?

Woo.

It's like a fucking
race around here,

it looks so fucking crazy man.

Oh yo, hey, hey man, can
I get a butt from you?

Do you have an extra cigarette?

I just need one.

Craig said he was
gonna come down.

- Yeah sure.
- But I don't think

he's gonna make it anymore man.

I just think it's just gonna me

just rolling around
with this fucking ah,

yeah man, just trying
to do shit man.

Hey dude, do you have
any change on you

or anything like that?

- No, sorry bud.
- No, no change,

no change at all,

- no dollar bills or something?
- No.

- Not at all?
- No sorry.

No, no, no, there's
no cops around here man.

No man.

- There's not.
- Sorry.

- Have a good night.
- You fucking

piece of shit.

Thanks for the smoke ass whole.

Fucking thanks for
the smoke, I got it.

I got what I needed.

I was tryna talk
about my consciousness

and stuff like
that 'cause I think

if we can just put
it all together.

So she's like the virgin
and she takes out a room

and that becomes the
savior of mankind.

♪ The wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪

And I just couldn't...

You can do it, you can do it.

I'd never been so low.

After all that job shit,

it was time to put an end to
the misery and embarrassment.

I was ready to go
out, I really was.

Wasn't the first time I
had tampered with the idea

of taking death
into my own hands.

Depression chews you
up and spits you out,

it gives you tunnel vision,

and all you see is the
bullshit you can't control,

things that pin you down.

Moms face when she
hears the news.

They said my brain was fucked,

they saw the scars on my wrist.

This wasn't that.

Lose time, something final,

time to rest, to quiet my mind,

to end the battle.

Okay, okay.

Give me 10.

10, aren't you good
with usually three?

What gives Bug?

Just do your job.

Listen, if I hear you've
been flippin' this shit,

like those K pins I sold you.

I'm not flippin' shit,
they're for me, all right?

Only a coward takes
10 in a single dive Bug.

You trying to off yourself?

Holy shit you are.

Do you have the
fucking pills or not?

Fucking chill out dude.

So, what are your
plans post-mortem?

What the fuck does that mean?

Are you an organ donor?

- Jesus Christ.
- I'm just saying,

that shit gets real expensive,

I can take care of your
cadaver for you if you want.

My cadaver.

Yeah, you know, your corpse.

So long as your cool
with me cutting you up

and poking around some shit.

You can make a pretty
penny selling organs

on the black market these days.

Yeah, can ya?

You are a sick bastard,
you know that don't you?

Is that a yes?

It's sort
of like the ocean,

or out of space,

or hell, it's sort of like hell.

I had seen all the stone
and brick and cement,

all the garbage and glass
and endless piles of shit,

all the scum no one
will look in the eyes.

It's all one thing now.

It's like one of those dreams

where the faster you try
to run the slower you go.

Quicksand.

The louder you try and yell

the more stifled your cries are.

The depths of the ocean,

the farthest parts of space.

Hell is so much closer
than I could of imagined.

Ah.

Joe, that's what...

No it wasn't, Joe okay, I know,

it's just, it's fine.

Raleigh, I knew I'd
find you here.

- Oh, you little piece of shit.
- It was a sham Bug.

I got hosed, it wasn't
one of my batches,

my shit has been moving so fast

I had to pick up
from the Koreans.

The shit was watered down.

They sold fucking sugar pills.

Everyone's out for blood.

How do you think I feel?

How do I think you feel?

How do I think you feel Raleigh?

I don't give a fuck how
you feel you stupid.

Fuck off.

I just tried to
kill and I failed,

you know how
embarrassing that is?

I feel like garbage.

- I've never been this hungover.
- Hey.

Look at it this way man,

you've got a second chance
at life here, you know?

This is like some divine
intervention shit.

Fucking God touched you Bug.

Fuck God.

I just wanna die.

Okay.

Hey, hey, it takes a
real kind of fuck up

to botch pulling the trigger,

and don't get me wrong,
you're a fuck up,

so I'm gonna make this
really clear here.

Get up.

Just squeeze.

Boo.

So Raleigh tells me
you're tryna off yourself.

Raleigh's bent, the
supplies counterfeit too,

don't go to him.

Just hold for a
night would you?

There's this show down
at the Doll House,

this band Nice Guys is playin',

and the last time
they were there

the lead singer jumped
from the rafters

into the pit, broke his shoulder

and nearly paralyzed himself,

which is pretty punk
if you ask me.

And I also got some killer
crank and some ecstasy.

I didn't take you
for the religious type.

I'm not really.

I went to church a lot as a kid,

I lived in this group
home with Jesus freaks.

The whole bible thumping,
cross facing the toilet kind.

Nothing bad ever
happened on Sunday

so I guess it just
kinda stuck with me.

What about you, hm?

What do you believe?

Nothing really.

I mean, we weren't
religious growing up,

my mom was but that's about it.

Kid that lived next
door to me though,

him and his family went
to church every Sunday

and he ended up getting
molested by his priest

- or something.
- Geez.

He didn't tell
anyone for years.

It was a big deal
for a week or two

and then nothing, most people,

they didn't wanna believe
it or they didn't care.

I saw it eat him up.

Fucking destroyed him, but,

they say that
happens all the time,

priest screwing around
with kids and stuff.

I don't know, that and a
whole bunch of other things

made me pretty convince
that religion is a scam.

Well, this crash
is gonna suck.

I wish I had a joint
to come down with.

Maybe I can help
out with that.

I feel pretty good now though.

What about you?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

That night I had it all.

Jenny was cool, she was like me.

There was this
tightness in my chest,

some vacancy had been filled.

I know that people don't change,

but maybe parts of them do.

Something changed in me.

The highs were
always really high,

and the lows always really low,

but this high felt different.

- Nothing?
- Oh shit.

- You got it.
- I did get it.

You hear that one before?

No.

I was just more evil than the
devil and greater than God

or contradictory terms.

- Yes.
- Woo.

Yes.

Yeah.

What a lovely time.

I'm so proud.

How many we got left?

I don't know.

I gave you one.

Yeah, thank you
very much for that.

Bug?

What?

Come here.

It's Tina's brother.

What, the hooker?

Oh shit, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, I know this kid,

he's a fag.

Must've been the HIV
caught up to him.

Shut the fuck up Slim.

Well it could've been.

It wasn't.

Fucking gross.

Just, must've took a
hit too strong I guess.

Could've been anyone.

No, no, no, no, no,
this kid was a junkie.

You didn't fucking know him.

Neither did you.

His sister hooks and he
liked the needle in the cock.

Shut the hell up Slim.

Could've been anybody.

Don't be a baby.

Maybe it was a hot dose
or something, I don't know.

Raleigh said that there

was some synthetic
shit moving around.

No, no, no, that
kid was a junkie,

he would've died from
the needle eventually.

If he was a junkie
then what are we, huh?

I'm not a junkie,
you're a junkie.

I'll never be a
slave to a substance.

I like to think of myself
as a recreational user.

My ass, you're a speed freak.

So are you.

Well I'm not hooked,
I'm just skimming.

Besides, those pills you
guys get off of Raleigh

are way stronger than anything

that kid would've
been able to shoot up.

Yeah, look at that.

- Bad ass.
- It's pretty good, right?

Yeah, not bad.

We roasted in the putrid
bubble of brick buildings

and side walks.

The pavement charred my edges.

Summer wasn't all bad though,

that's when the
city came to life.

I like to start early to
avoid the midday heat.

The days blended together,

and this one started
out just like the rest.

Fletcher, what
are you doing man?

This is glass, you got
plastic here, all right?

This is glass, plastics
go down there, okay?

See?

Oh, right at the
deli, for Christ sakes.

Would you look at that.

This place stinks.

It reminds me of one time
I was working for the CIA.

They had me in a basement,
no windows, one desk,

tapping the phone conversations

of the families upstairs.

They weren't feeding their kids.

It was abuse, you know?

It'd been months,
listening to phone calls.

It's patient work,
let me tell ya.

And my wife, my wife,

she was gonna be in the films.

Those kids, they were so
skinny before the feds came,

nearly burnt the house down.

My wife, she never
wanted any kids.

She smells like daisies.

Just a few more of these bottles

and I'll be punching
my ticket home.

She's in the films you know?

Yep, yep, you said that.

Well looks like you're
all set Mr. Fletcher.

Two 25, you wouldn't
be ripping me off

now would you Bug?

For real man, that's
all you had, all right?

Plastics go down there,

so take the rest
of these plastics

and go down there.

And you might wanna
try hitting your spots

a little bit earlier

all right, there's
the Korean dudes

I've been seeing
around recently,

I think they're beating you
to the punch, all right?

You're a good kid Bug.

See you tomorrow.

Fathers
day at Paul park,

early with a couple of home
runs in the second inning.

Maybe it's
going up here in the sixth

and now we're all tied up.

Is that date right?

What, do you
live under a rock?

Holy shit.

It's my fucking birthday today.

Congratulations.

All right.

Can I get one of
those whiskey bottles?

Nah, the small one.

Thanks man.

So I look up at the sign and
can't fucking believe it,

June 18th, today's
my 21st birthday.

- Hey.
- Yes.

Happy birthday Bug.

- Thanks.
- Holy shit dude,

you're only 21?

Yeah, funny thing is I've
been buying booze of that dude

for three years.

But I blew the last
of my cash on this,

so I think lunch is gonna
have to be on Eddie.

Oh man, just
think about it dude,

21 years ago on this exact date

you are spit out
of your mums twat.

That's fucking great.

- Yeah.
- I'm just telling it

like it is man.

Everybody thinks
childbirth is some kind

of fucking miracle, you
ever fucking see one?

It's a brutal,
painful, bloody mess.

It's worst than a
fucking snuff film,

all for the sake of having
some little bastard around,

24/7, shittin' and crying
and chewing on your nipples.

That's why I'll
never have one.

Yeah, people think
babies are so pure too.

Yeah, like they
come from above.

When most of the time,

they're the result of
something absolutely

completely fucking meaningless.

I mean, my parents,
they're not in love,

and they probably weren't
when they made me.

We're the same as every
other little scurrying rodent

on this skid, and we're here
for the same reason, to die.

Yeah, and then?

And then, and
then, and then what?

There is no and then,
there is no after that,

we're born, we fuck, we
live, we die, that's it.

No, what, do you
think plants and fish

and bugs and rats and
dogs have an afterlife?

I mean, they don't.

Look, we aren't special,

and if we aren't special,
animals are fucked,

just frankly fucked.

The difference
between the species

is that we're smarter,
we are so much smarter,

so much smarter
that at some point

we realized the
best way to survive

is to convince ourselves
that each and every one of us

is the most important
breathing bastard

on a planet filled with
unspeakable numbers of breathing...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

watch where you're fucking

- going ass whole.
- Take a shower shit bag.

Hey, come say that

- to my face.
- Oh, you wanna make something

out of this, guy, get the
fuck out of the car your swid.

- Pussy.
- What the fuck?

Fucking people these days
man, Jesus fucking Christ.

I mean, look at
Tina's brother, right?

Someones kid, someones
brother obviously,

where is he now?

Rotting away under
a fucking bridge.

I mean face it, people don't
care if one us lives or dies.

Well that is very grim Bug,

and spoken like a guy
who's tryna off himself.

Are you tryna off yourself?

No.

Well, yeah, kinda, I
mean, I was I guess.

Come on mother fucker.

What?

Hey Eddie, you got what
I'm lookin' for today?

I thought you were gonna quit.

These things will
kill you you know,

I don't want that to happen.

Oh, you're so sweet Eddie.

You know, one of these
days someone's gonna come

walking right through that door.

I hope she's as cute as you.

But I hope she doesn't smoke,

those things will
kill you you know.

I loved to take you on
a date sometime Jenny,

you could come over my house,

my mom makes really
good beef stew.

That sounds so nice Eddie,

but you know I'm kinda
with Bug now, right?

He could come too,
not Slim though,

'cause he's a piece of shit.

Hey Eddie, how's it going man?

Fine thanks, what are
you guys get in to today?

It's Bug's birthday today.

Oh, happy birthday Bug.

You know, you share the same
birthday as my cousin Mark,

he's a real piece
of shit though.

Anyway, I got a little
something for you.

You know, being your
birthday and all.

One in four million odds to
win the jackpot on that thing.

If it's a winner, don't
forget who gave you this.

Okay Bug?

Who gave what to me Eddie?

I'm just kidding with you man,

and thanks, this is great.

Hey Eddie, how
'bout one for me?

Go to hell Slim.

I'm all ready there my dude.

You know, if you
died, I'd care.

If you were cold and alone
something, I'd go to sleep.

Hi.

Fucking dopey
fucking, you stupid.

Get the fuck back here.

Fuck you.

God damn it, I'm
gonna fucking kill you.

Gonna hit you so fucking hard
your hair's gonna grow back.

Picking out a
tombstone for yourself?

Very funny.

Thought you would've offed
yourself by now, coward.

Where's my gun?

I hid it.

Where?

Somewhere safe.

It's in a safe place.

Well what happened, jam
up on you or something?

No, it's just,

unforeseen circumstances.

Jenny?

Yeah, you know her?

Everyone knows her.

Listen man, I'm gonna
save you some heartache

here all right, she's
just well known.

Fuck off.

She's in for the dope man.

Just be careful,
that's all I'm saying.

Speaking of dope.

Yes?

Well, do you have any or not?

Real shit or the Korean Tic
Tac's you sold me last time?

You'll feel like you
died and went to heaven.

This is brand new shit,

straight pharmaceuticals, uncut,

it's called Dilaudid,
even stronger than Oxies.

Got ya.

Hey Raleigh.

Hey Jen.

It's Bug's birthday today.

No shit, happy birthday
you son of a bitch.

Let's celebrate.

Oh, fuck yes.

We are broke though.

Course you are.

Although in light
of a special someones

very special day, maybe
you could hook us up.

Pretty please?

Only if I get to pop
off with you dweebs.

Of course.

Yes, thank you very much.

To Bug's birthday.

To Bug's birthday.

Make a wish
and blow out the candle.

Yay.

Steven, what d'ya think?

It's awesome.

What were they like?

Who?

Your parents.

You said they were in love.

How did you know?

One time I ditched school,

came home early.

I didn't expect my
dad to be there,

his car wasn't in the driveway,

but when I got in the house
I could hear his voice

coming from the bedroom.

Then a woman laughing.

It wasn't my mom.

Did you confront him?

Well, did you tell your mom?

Probably should of.

Instead I just started fucking
everything up, you know?

Mm-hmm.

At least you know your parents.

I never met mine.

One time in a foster
home I broke this vase,

turned out it was
like 200 years old.

Worth more than my life.

And my foster dad,
he screamed at me,

and he said, you're just like
your no good whore mother

who couldn't even
afford an abortion.

So it's, it's something.

I think about my mom a lot.

She always saw the best in me.

Wish I'd been better for her.

When's the
last time you saw her?

Three years ago today.

That's when I left.

What do you
wanna do today Bug?

It's your special day.

I wanna go home.

So we're doing this again?

He's not coming back,

the sooner you accept that
the better off we'll both be.

It's been three
years god damn it.

What makes you think
he's comin' back now?

Oh Christ Jo, for all we
all know he might even be...

I'm just saying, this
isn't helping anything.

We're you goin'?

I'm going to find my son.

Fine, but I'm drivin',

and we're not gonna stay out
all night like last year.

Did that stuff
help with the pain?

Yeah, but I need more.

Well, I'm gonna
have wait another two hours

before I can give
you another does.

I need it now.

What would you
say your pain level is?

Eight or nine.

Okay, but you're
gonna have take this one

with some food.

Fine.

So, chicken
sandwich or salad?

Whatever works.

Salad it is then.

Should've
gone with the chicken.

Have you ever
had hospital food?

No.

Trust me, it doesn't matter.

What does matter, I
got the extra dose.

There you go.

Thank you Emily.

You're up.

- I've never been.
- Where?

Europe, never been,
but I've heard it's nice.

It's beautiful.

You've been there?

Yeah, I did the last semester
of my clinical in London.

That's cool.

Sorry for freaking out earlier.

No worries, I've seen worst.

The ER on a Friday night
can be a pretty scary place.

Do you remember anything
about the accident?

Yeah.

There's a chunk missing.

The driver,
was he a friend?

No.

I'd like for you to
be honest with me here.

It's important, we're tryna
get in touch with his family.

Good luck with that.

Where is he, is he all right?

He passed an hour ago.

He's dead?

Yes.

He suffered severe
trauma to the head

and it caused hemorrhaging
to the brain, I'm sorry.

Any family we could contact?

Do you know where he lives?

I know where he slept.

Where's that?

You know Ringer Park?

Mm-hmm.

That's where he slept.

I see.

Is that where you sleep?

Yep.

How are you feeling?

Any pain?

This will help.

What is it?

This is a pain
medication called Dilaudid.

It's lunch hour, you hungry?

Should try and eat something.

Chicken sandwich or salad?

It doesn't matter.

How far is your
parents house from here?

It's at least 20 miles,
I mean, we can't walk.

We could hitch.

Yeah, we could try to hitch,

we could end up just
gettin' flipped off

on the side of the
freeway all night.

No, I think train
is the best bet.

Hey, hey man,

- just a little bit?
- Nah, I'm sorry.

- Nothin'?
- Yeah, well all right,

at this rate we're not
gonna make it to Central.

Dude, we'll be fine all right?

It's like 15 stops.

It'll be fine, we
don't make it to Central

we don't get fucking
out of the city.

- It's 10 bucks...
- Steve?

Steven Bugsby.

Do I know you?

Kyle.

We went to high school.

We got suspended together

- that time...
- For setting up

Mr. Lafton's computer
on top of the school.

- Holy shit.
- Holy shit.

That was funny as hell.

Dude, I remember that.

My brother, you remember Cory?

He's a senior now
and he was telling me

people are still
talking about that shit.

How's the family?

They're good.

Smartest guy I
know right here.

I would've failed English
if it wasn't for him.

Hey Kyle, our van
kind of broke down

a couple of blocks over, it's
one of those old clunkers,

you know the type, you
think you could spare

a couple of extra bucks for gas?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Can any of you guys break a 20?

Fuck it.

Kyle fucking
Windsor, holy shit,

who would've thought
man, oh my god,

thank you, this is huge.

Don't mention it.

Well, I gotta get going,

but good luck with your car.

For sure.

Thanks Kyle.

Thanks Kyle.

There's your ticket home.

And then some,
let's get loaded.

If you're gonna hang out here,

you gotta buy something.

Just give me a loosey
and I'll be on my way.

I told you a million times,

I can't do that anymore,
you can purchase a full pack

or none at all.

I wouldn't advise it though,

those things will
kill you though.

I know that Eddie,
that's why I only want one,

if I get a whole pack I'll
smoke it all in an hour.

Oh, I got a birthday
present for Bug,

he's out there with you right?

It's pulled beef stew my
mum brought me to eat,

still hot, can you send him in.

We're a little
busy right now Eddie,

but I'll let him know.

- Oh.
- Oh hey Raleigh,

just the man we wanted to see,

you got any speed?

Yeah, but no more
freebies for you tweekers.

You guys couldn't
even afford one pill

with the change in that cup.

Where the fuck you get that?

Bug's got friends
in high places.

Apparently.

All right, what can
we get for 10 of these?

One for each of you.

Trust me, one is all
you guys'll need.

This shit is heavy.

Here you go, hey.

And I'll even through
in a little bit of weed

for the birthday boy.

You guys are gonna need it to
keep your heads on straight.

Weed and speed, it's a
match made in heaven Raleigh.

That's right,
good night fuckers.

Good night.

All right.

What the fuck's the plan here,

where are we going?

I all ready told you
man, it's 20 stops maybe,

15, I don't know, it's
been a fucking long time

and I don't even know
where we are bro.

Okay, cool, great,
so we're hop on drugs.

Yeah, but we
just gotta keep moving

'cause we're taking way
too much freaking time.

We're
fucking moving dude,

there's gotta be more trains
than just the one train.

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

Oh, fuck.

Hold it right there.

Evening.

That doesn't smell
like tobacco smoke to me.

Oh, that's a good one man.

Hey, don't
get flip with me.

Smoking marijuana in public
is a criminal offense.

I could run the
through you right now.

- Sorry man.
- What, you fucking kidding.

It's
illegal, I told ya.

- Yeah, all right.
- Against the car over there,

all three of ya's, come on.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- We're just tryna get

- to the train.
- Are you kidding me?

Up
against the car now.

I said move.

Put your hands on
the back of our head.

- All three of you.
- Come on dude.

Put your hands on
the back of your head.

- Smoking one fucking...
- You too, on the left,

- Yeah.

Officer look, it

You got ID on ya?

No.

No surprises there.

Put your hands in back.

- You're fucking kidding me.
- Drop your hands.

Seriously, it was just...

Just keep

Keep your mouth shut.

Look officer, all we're
tryna do is get home, okay?

We've been walking all

Hey, hey, hey,

- I need that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Look, I need that
to get home, okay,

you can't just fucking rob me.

Just shut up.

You got an ID on ya?

I all ready said no.

Yeah, that's terrific,

it's like you don't even exist.

You're an absolute
non-person without an ID.

You're just transients and
vagrants and bums, that's all.

No goods.

You can't just
fucking rob us dude.

Ah, just keep your mouth shut.

You needing a little
help back there?

Fuck you.

Look man, I didn't even
have any of that joint,

I don't even like weed,
it gives me the heebs.

You weren't
smoking when I came up to you?

No sir, I was not.

So if I gave you a drug
test right now, you'd pass.

Yes sir, and I have my ID.

Let's see your ID.

Here it is, can
you see, that's my face.

Fuck, god fuck.

You fucking rot.

Let's fucking roll.

You junkie bitch.

Oh shit.

Okay, here?

Yes,
Mrs. O'Connell said

this is where she saw him.

She said she was
sure it was Steven.

It was a few months ago though.

Excuse me.

Sir.

Yeah, yeah, could
you come here please,

I promise you we won't take
up too much of your time.

You wouldn't happen to be
with the CIA now would ya?

What, no, no.

The Feds didn't send you?

- No.
- Good.

'Cause I've told 'em a
thousand times I'm retired,

got my own life now you know.

Bunch of bastard narcos,
they didn't send you?

No.

We're looking for a young man,
his name is Steven Bugsby,

he's a little shorter than you,

he's got long brown
hair, he's 21.

He's our son.

Yeah you see, that
could be a problem,

I haven't eaten
anything all day.

It reminds me of the
time I spent in Taiwan.

Three weeks with nothing
to eat but rice cakes.

When I get that hungry

I have a tough time
remembering my own name

let alone your sons.

Can't swing a meal,

plus I'm saving my money.

Flying out west
going to see my wife.

She's in the films you know.

Yeah, here.

I suddenly feel my
memories flooding back.

What'd you say
your sons name was?

Hey.

Steve, hey, excuse me.

I'll suck your
dick for 20 bucks.

Steven.

Steven?

Steven Bugsby.

Never heard of him.

We do girls too.

Please.

Geez, just get me out of here.

Okay, all right, all right.

It'll be the
night of your life.

I can't be here
again, no, no, not here,

no, no, not here.

Will you chill out,
just sit the fuck down.

What the fuck is
the matter with you?

He took all the speed pills
back at the subway station.

All of 'em?

All of them.

I wanna go
home, I wanna go home,

I wanna go home,
I wanna go home,

I wanna go home.

All right, okay,
here's what we do.

We hot wire a car, all right.

I saw a guy do it once,
seems pretty easy,

you just gotta make sure
you don't set off the alarm

when you get in the fucking car.

You don't know what the
fuck you're talking about.

All right, well I
don't see you coming up

with any brilliant ideas.

Look, why don't you
go seduce some John.

Do the innocent

- school girl thing...
- Hey Slim

- how bout you shut up.
- Like you did with

the fucking, I'm just saying.

- Shut the your fucking mouth.
- It's an easy way

to make a quick buck and
you might even like it.

Shut your fucking mouth.

Shut up.

It's shut, it's fucking shut.

Where are you going?

Bug?

Pissed he took your pill?

Yes I'm pissed.

What the hell dude?

- What the fuck?
- Shit.

Yeah, oh fuck.

I'm not gonna
use it, obviously,

we're just gonna scare Eddie.

- No.
- We're gonna get him

to give us some cash so
we can get out of here.

No you're not, no.

I'm not gonna touch
him, Jenny, I promise,

- I'm not gonna touch him.
- No.

We'll be in and out.

- This is a bad idea.
- We get the money

and we disappear.

Okay, but he needs
to see you there.

Okay, you gotta
be in there, okay,

he needs to see your
face, okay Jenny?

Look, you gotta do
this for me, okay?

It's gotta be the
three of us, all right?

I need this, please?

I love you, okay.

Well say something.

I don't, please, we,

I don't think that you should...

Fuck, fuck it,
we gotta go, let's go.

Go, what, no.

Bug.

I've got something for you,

I've got something
for you too Eddie.

Open up the fucking register.

Don't just stand there
looking at me Eddie,

open it, now, now.

The safe, open the safe.

You got the cash, let's go.

Open the fucking safe Eddie

or I'm gonna open up
your fucking skull.

Come on.

I can't.

He doesn't have the key.

I swear to god
Eddie, god damn it,

god damn you.

- Where's your keys?
- What'd you do?

Where's your keys,
where's you're keys Eddie?

Wake up.

Oh, fuck it, come on
man, do it, finish him,

he's a god damn retard.

- What?
- Finish him man,

do it, pull the fucking trigger.

Bug stop.

Come on man,
just forget her, huh?

Come on man, no,
no, no, come on.

Jenny, babe, come
on, we gotta go.

Fuck you.

You're a liar, you said
you weren't gonna hurt him,

I hate you.

I didn't mean to.

Dude, give me your fucking keys.

What the fuck?

- Here, it's yours.
- Give me your fucking keys,

get the fuck out of here,
get the fuck out of here.

Slim.

Jenny, come on, get in the car.

This isn't you.

Jenny, we gotta go,
get in the fucking car.

I never wanna see you again.

No, no, no, no, no,
come on man, come on,

Come on, come on,

Fuck.

Come on man, there he

Seems excessive

How much of last
night do you remember?

It was my birthday.

Things get a little
out of control?

You could say that.

Why don't we give the
escape plan a rest Steven?

Try and get some sleep.

Dr. Flores
dial 118 please,

Dr. Flores please dial 118.

That's my son, Steven Bugsby.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

How old?

21.

Hospital room
on your 21st huh?

Yeah, it was not
suppose to happen this way.

Life doesn't always
go the way we expect.

Mrs. Bugsby?

Yes.

I'm your husbands nurse.

How's he doing.

He's fine, he's
in stable condition

and we expect him to be
released today or tomorrow.

Oh, thank god.

How are you doing?

I'm just fine.

They ran a few
precautionary tests

and I'm cleared to go.

When can I see my Roger?

Is there anyone you can call,

let 'em know you're all right?

Friends?

Last two friends
I had are gone.

Parents?

I don't really
think they'd care.

Parents always care
about their children.

You got kids?

A son.

What's he like?

Decent,
just doesn't know it.

Mrs. Bugsby, you should
know that your husband

is sharing a room
with the young man

who was in the car that
collided with yours.

Well I'm sure it
was just an accident.

There's something else.

Investigating
an armed robbery,

not a case of shoplifting
like they initially thought.

Oh, you fucking pussy.

- Stop, cut it out.
- What?

- Stop.
- Okay.

Just
under an hour ago

with the neighborhood
market on Franklin street.

Been told the store clerk has
been taken to the hospital

with serious injuries.

Three suspects ran...

Oh.

Come on, get in.

Get in.

Shortly after
taking cash from the register,

according to police,
two of the suspects

then stole a parked car outside.

One suspect is armed
and possibly dangerous.

Yes, I want to
report a break in.

Look at this huh.

Oh, wouldn't wanna get a smack
off of that, would you, huh?

I gotta piss, man,
where's the bathroom?

Down the hall to the left.

All right.

Three hours.

Three hours.

Hey dad.

That's how long your
mother waited up for ya.

Sat right over there
watching the clock.

So sure that any
minute you'd be home.

I'm not doing this right now.

Not doing it.

Where were you?

Out with some friends.

I was your age once,
believe it or not.

Where were you?

Went to the movies.

You're a liar.

I can smell the booze
on you from here.

It's one thing to miss
your birthday dinner,

but suspended from school,

and now your on probation, you
haven't slept here for days.

I learn from
the best.

What is this shit
you're doing to yourself?

What the hell's wrong with you?

Fuck you.

We know you're not
taking your meds.

Go fuck yourself.

You talk
like that to your father?

No, 'cause I'm
gonna go to bed.

Oh, you're not going anywhere.

What is going on?

Stop it, both of you stop.

Get off me.

What the
hell's the matter with you.

Get the fuck off me.

I know all about your
girlfriend you piece of shit.

What

He's wasted, he's not
making any god damn sense.

Get off him, stop.

Stop it, get away from him.

Get out of my house.

What?

Get the fuck out of my house,

you're not welcome here.

Fine.

No, Steven.

No.

You're
not welcome here.

Don't move.

What, this is my house.

Take it easy kid.

I'm just visiting my
parents, they weren't home

so I came in, this is where
I grew up though, okay?

Let me see your hands?

This is my house.

Let me
see your hands?

This is my house,
this is my house, okay,

this is parents, my
parents live here okay.

Let me
see your hands.

Okay, okay, okay,
okay, look at them,

This is me, that's me.

All right, here's
what we're gonna do.

Woo, ho, ho.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Oh, that's a nice
squeal you fucking pig.

- Oh my god.
- You fucked us.

What, what are
you fucking talking about?

Oh my god.

We gotta, we gotta get...

Steven?

Hi Mrs. O'Connell.

- No, no.
- All right, come on,

come on man, give me the
keys, we gotta get outta here.

Give me the keys, I'm driving.

You're fucking
loaded, you can't drive.

No, no, no, no,
no, I'm fine man,

come on man, give me the keys.

Do you have any idea
how much shit we're in

because of you?

This can't be happening.

- This isn't real.
- Come on, come on,

come on.

Give me the keys, I am driving.

Come on, you fucking
here you that?

You fucking hear that?

They're coming, they're coming,

now give me the keys.

Fuck you.

You give me the
fucking keys man,

I will fucking waste you.

You fucking ass whole.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

Why, why?

You fucking ruined everything.

God damn, can you hear
yourself right now man?

Who the fuck are you anyway?

Me?

Oh I know who I am,
I am a piece of shit,

you, you're some whiny
little bitch crawling back

to mommy and daddy.

Yeah, well where are
you gonna be in a year, huh?

What about five years?

You wanna pick food out of
dumpsters your whole life?

You wanna be a fuck
up all over again?

You wanna die under
a fucking bridge?

Says the guy who's tryna
fucking kill himself.

No, no, no, no I wanna live.

I wanna live.

I wanna live.

Roger wake up.

Roger.

911,
what's your emergency?

We've been in a car accident.

You can come in now.

Do you need a moment?

No, no I'm okay.

It's okay.

Mum?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

So did you
get the book I sent you.

Mm-hmm.

How you liking it?

Um, hard to say, I
just started it, so.

So you're keeping busy then?

I'm trying to, I mean,
some days get really long.

How do you like your job?

Not bad,
they got me working

in the laundry room now.

Good, that's good.

It's important to stay
busy, stay out of your head.

You taking your medication?

- Yeah.
- Every day?

Every day.

So,
do you feel safe?

Is anyone giving
you a hard time?

No, mom,
it's not like that.

So what
about your new cell mate,

what's he like?

I don't know, we
don't really talk that much.

Well you should,
make friends.

Wrap it up.

Well you know you
can call us anytime,

day or night, just call.

Yeah, the guards
might object to that,

but I'll tell 'em
you said it's okay.

Oh, well thank you very
much, appreciate that.

Happy birthday Steven.

Thanks.

You know we love
you very much?

Love you guys too.

Steven, we'll
be back next week.

Eddie, I
hope you don't think

I'm tryna justify what happened.

I'm not.

Things got so out
of control so fast.

That night, that wasn't me,
I didn't recognize myself,

like watching everything
unfold before my eyes,

from a distance, from
somewhere else, helpless.

In here I have so
much time to think,

it's all I do.

So many uncertainties,
so much unknown.

I don't know anything
about you Eddie.

Not really.

And I fucking hate that.

I hate that I hurt you.

Some days I hate myself,
completely, to my core.

You have every right to
share that sentiment.

You should.

Writing to you has helped
me get through this.

This isn't an apology.

I don't deserve to
ask you to forgive me,

you got caught in the
crossfire of something

that has simmering beneath
my skin my entire life.

I guess I just want
you to understand.

Thank you for this.

Love you buddy.
