diplomatic immunity he does have

diplomatic immunity and you are I'm

sorry Arthur Lawton State Department but

commission guests of our government let

me get this straight

to here with the white hair in the

earring works for a Romanian trade

commission as what minister in charge of

terrorizing the boardwalk we understand

that your people are just doing their

jobs but since no major crime was

committed the United States government

would appreciate it if you'd release mr.

Reddy's son as soon as possible he has

diplomatic immunity yes he has there's

no way we can hold him no matter what

he's done

not really it's a careless read either

week kind of sad that really brings back

a lot of old memories being your father

used to scream at each other like that

country you leave my son to me or the

deal is off

[Music]

my son is not a criminal lieutenant but

being in this city this culture where

all people think about this money car is

closed it's infected him made him crazy

no offense sir but your son's craziness

has nothing to do with our culture he

gets off on breaking the law in this

country we call it a sociopath gentlemen

please the only relevant point is you

have no authority to hold this man's son

maybe not but we can initiate procedures

have him declared persona non grata the

next step is deportation why don't you

go check on Demetri you you are not

gonna have that boy deportee lieutenant

I'm certainly not how I'm loose on the

streets again what's at stake here is a

lot more important than some punk kid

running wild at the beach more important

to home let's just say that the United

States government would appreciate it if

you'd walk away from this if that proves

too difficult for you feel free to hop

on your bike and pedal over to this

discuss it with you

now you're gonna tell me what's going on

let's go take a walk

Esther rather has been a major player in

the international arms trade since the

Vietnam War Cambodia Afghanistan the

Middle East Bosnia wherever people need

weapons he delivers our government's

kind of guy we want to get involved when

he came to us wanting out of the game

let's Uncle Sam Karen most of the

ordinance rat who sells our stolen from

us basis he agreed to turn over as big a

supplier

well guess soldiers at Fort Sill

Oklahoma over the last 14 months alone

some 22 m90 tanks have disappeared from

bases around the Midwest hold on you're

saying tanks and Humvees rocket

launchers and other material and

ordnance you wouldn't believe those

weapons are turning up on my strength

undoubtedly that's we're up against here

lieutenant al rather identified as

supply sergeant named Dreyer it was a

branch of the whole operation he's the

one that got away so you want Radu to

make the blind so you can catch this

traitor red-handed in exchange for what

US citizenship assistance and relocating

to this country let me get this straight

Randy who spreads death around the globe

for 30 years in exchange for a few names

all is forgiven and used my tax dollars

to set up in Palm Springs like some kind

of ex-president him and Dmitri you know

if you don't like it you know write your

Congressman right now I'm just trying to

salvage this operation

I'm afraid that's pariah suspects Roddy

was setting him up and he try to nab as

kid as leverage and my people end up in

a gun battle in the middle of a

boardwalk

look aloft and do me a favor do what you

have to just do it somewhere else okay

Webster but there's only one problem

you can't find a mate for you

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Thanks I'll have the file sent over as

soon as possible okay for what look no

you're probably jacked outta see

everything that's been going on but

before you make up your mind about me I

want you to know what I'm all about you

got a pretty good picture let me tell

you something that's not in there Jimmy

Dixon could barely read three years I

had to get a roommate to read me my ink

in the sports pages ever since I was 12

basketball was my ticket no one cared

about my mind my character all they

wanted to see was a kid they could play

above the rim put bodies in the seats

look I hear what you're saying that's no

excuse

getting bounced was actually the best

thing that ever happened to me it showed

me that if I wanted to make it I had to

do it on my own

by becoming someone else but it wasn't

just about changing my name I taught

myself to read I want to go back to

college lieutenant but this time you

want to do it right by looking to get

another free ride under a new name why

so you can prove you still have it

you're there shot the pros to get an

education four years from now I'll be 27

with needs of someone your age by then

who knows where my game will be who

cares to get an education that's

something I can use for the rest of my

life T I had a plan who knew it would

all unravel because I met some cop at a

pickup game at the beach demetria's

girlfriend

[Applause]

you okay yeah jerks

yeah boardwalks full of them listen

we're looking for Dmitri do you know

where he might be

no and I'm starting to freak is he in

trouble more than I think he realizes

listen you have no idea where he might

be maybe an apartment or place he hangs

out no we always went to my place I

never knew he hung up

okay well if you see in where you can

think of anything that might help us

find him give us a call okay we really

want to help yeah yeah and Vicky take

care all right

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

lieutenant Palermo mr. Wrather

surprise laughs and let you out of a

sight

oh you doesn't know yet I'm gone nobody

knows I've learned a few tricks over the

years a big risk being out here on your

own I don't want to about myself I worry

about my son yes sir the only family I

have his mother was killed when the

michi was young you know he's still very

young yes you're right he is and young

people they see the world in black and

white as a man gets older starts making

his way he learns the world presents

itself in shades of grey sometimes other

times the choices are very clear and you

disapprove of my choices so be it I've

done what I have for one reason to

provide for my son give him everything

he needs

he hates me for it maybe he needs

something else from you that is why I'm

here to start a new life with my son but

I need your help

[Music]

to meet you

so you're talking to the police they

said you were a danger it is my father

visitation I hate the things he has done

but still he is

I have always dreamed one day he would

look at me as the son he wanted

[Music]

tomorrow will be that day you gonna do

stand by my family

like a man

reach your weight

[Music]

so you're telling me that if you blow

the whistle on Jamal that's it for his

dreams of college probably we can't

afford to go have a scholarship he only

changed its name NC double-a regulations

are not part of our jurisdiction I'll

try and do the right thing I just don't

know what it is let me ask you something

how many times you had a guy you know

was scum but you cut him a deal you

trade it up yet let him walk for some

higher purpose more times I like to

think about how can we never do that

[Music]

nobody break cover

nobody discharged your weapon but

Jeannette this is McNamara did you court

Corey

lieutenant we have reliable information

that Dimitri is armed and possibly on

his way to your location great just what

we need

hold your positions yeah just as you

asked

I bring you what's the phrase earnest

money to reassure you I'm serious

let's see come on

[Music]

to meet you

[Music]

US citizenship in exchange for his role

in the breakup of an illegal arms ring

involving u.s. army personnel yada yada
