Lalin's doin' thirty years in Attica, man.

Thirty years!

Walberto! Check it out. Mira who's here.

- Mira, eso. Oye.

- Hey, Wally.

- Heavy-duty.

- Good to see you.

I've been looking all over for you.

Should have figured

I'd find you walking around up here...

...doing a little "memory lane."

- While I still got one.

- Mira, Rolando wants to talk to you.

- Carlito, I gotta get back to the game.

You need anything, bodyguard,

anything, call me, okay?

- You call me. Take care.

- Pachanga. Good to see you.

- Rolando?

- S. He's around the corner.

Guajiro, wait here for me.

- In about five minutes, I'll be back.

- Sure, Carlito.

Who is that? New back-up man?

He's my little cousin.

I gotta visit my aunt later.

Carlito, mi socio.

Qu chvere!

I said a prayer for you

while you were inside...

...that harm will come

to him who harmed you.

- Thank you.

- Sintate. Sit down.

- You are well?

- Well enough.

You look like you're doing good

for yourself.

Why not? Business is good.

- Smack.

- The coca business.

That's all there is. Heroin is dead.

- But you know all of this, right?

- No, I didn't know that.

Let's speak the truth between us.

You did five years

and never once mentioned my name.

I know that you could have given me up...

...and made things easier for yourself,

but you didn't.

Muy bien hecho. Good for you.

But you see I got rich

while you were inside.

Maybe you think I owe you?

I don't want anything from you.

- Who are you working with?

- I ain't working with nobody.

- Nobody?

- I'm retired.

- Retired?

- That's right.

Retired?

You're serious?

I'm serious. That's right. I'm out. I quit.

So, Carlito Brigante got religion, right?

That's right. I'm studying to be a priest.

So what are you doing these days?

Nothing much. I'm still in school.

I got a job though.

No kidding. Doing what?

Just a little legwork

for Seor Pablo Cabrales.

- Cabrales.

- Yeah.

What do you want to do that sh*t for?

That's not good.

Come on, Carlito.

I'm not making a career out of it.

I'm a delivery boy, that's all.

Check this out.

That's $30,000.

Can I ask you for a favor?

What's that?

I gotta go down the block for this pickup.

Can you come with me?

Come on. Don't get me involved

with that stuff.

Come on. I know these guys.

They're friends.

I just wanna walk in with you.

They see my back-up

and they'll sh*t in their pants.

- They ain't gonna know me.

- You?

You're a f***in' legend.

Come on.

All right. 10 minutes. I promised

your mother we'd be there for dinner.

That's no problem.

These guys, they're real pros.

Boom, boom, in and out.

So the kid's walkin' in there with $30,000.
