Garen!

You want me?

Huh?

Come get me then, motherf***er.

Detective Soleno.

How are you doing, sir?

Tevi, look at you,

lookin' all grown up.

You look good.

How you been?

Uh, I'm well.

You taking a break from college?

No, sir. I, um...

Finished college.

I'm done.

You graduated?

All right.

You working for your old man?

No?

Oh, okay.

Okay.

So why am I here, Tevi?

Hmm?

What am I doin' here?

I don't know.

Well, you gotta know something.

Something's happening

in here, right?

Spencer, just...

Who else is in there?

Nobody. Okay?

"Nobody"?

I don't know, nobody...

Don't bullshit me, Tevi.

Why don't you go back

to your car, sit down.

I've been in my car all day

watching this f***in' warehouse.

All I wanna know is why.

Spencer, I can't.

What the f***

you mean you can't?

Your old man called me down here

to stake out this warehouse.

You know what he told me?

"Stay here till

everybody else leaves.

Keep an eye open."

You gotta tell me somethin'.

What am I lookin' for, Tevi?

It's better you just

don't know some things.

Is this family business?

All right.

All right.

I'll be over here

if you need me.

Okay, good.

Thank you, detective.

Don't be a dick.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, get down!

What the f*** are you doing? Get down!

Come on, come on, come on.

Hey, what the f*** was that?

A f***in' gunshot.

How many inside?

Four.

- How many would shoot?

- Three.

Okay.

Stay low, stay right

behind me, all right?

Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey.

Sh*t!

F***!

F***! F***! F***!

I'm dead, Tevi.

You need to get out of here.

Come on.

I think he's in the sideline.

Hey, stay there.

He's bleeding.

Tevi, that way!

To the right! To the right!

Where'd he go?

Not far.

Put that away.

Over there. Come on.

This guy got a name?

- Patrick.

- Patrick, Patrick.

- What...

- Hey.

- What are you doing?

- Trust me, okay?

I want you to circle the block,

you see anything, just yell.

- Got it?

- Yes.

Keep that in your pocket.

Patrick!

This is detective Soleno

with he NOPD.

I'm here to help you.

Patrick, you don't have to

be afraid no more, all right?

All you have to do is

come out with your hands up.

I'll have an ambulance

here in two minutes.

Spencer.

Spencer!

- Dude.

- -What happened to you?

There.

Come on, come on!

- Tevi, who is this guy?

- I don't know.

- Have you seen him before?

- No.

Is he one of Garvan's men?

It's something different.

What do you mean,

something different?

There! I see him.

- You missed him.

- -Sh*t!

I'll get him on the way back.

There, look.

We got him.

I think we got him.

Not yet.

He's going in the canal!

What?

How do you feel, buttercup?

I don't know you guys.

No.

Not yet.

But you will.

Sh*t!

Yeah, it hurts, huh?

This is only the beginning.

That's right.

This is the best

you're gonna feel all day.

You guys are all the same.

F***...

I'm sorry! Sorry!

Sorry!

Okay?

You know what?

I don't believe you.

Okay!

Okay, man! Listen, listen.

Please, I'll give you the money.

Money?

Yeah.

We don't want your money.

What?

Where's Vic?

Vic?

Who's Vic?

Do you know a Vic?

Never heard of him.

I guess you're all alone.

Now you belong to us.

Okay, look, I...

I told Vic I didn't have

the money, but I do.

I'll give it to you

instead, all of it.

Please, I can give you... i can

give you a hundred grand.

Give me 24 hours.

You like cars?

I have a hook-up. What

do you like, Mercedes?

Corvette? I...

Whatever you want.

Just tell me.

Let's work out a deal.

Garen, listen to me.

Listen very carefully.

We don't want your money.

There's nothing that you have

that we want.

Come on, come on, everybody

wants something, right?

What is it?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Painful, isn't it?

There's nothing quite like

the pain of a broken nose.

Your head fills with fluid, and little

bits of bone are smashed into your brain.

What do you want from me?

What do you want?

What do we want?

We wanna see you suffer

for killing Jacob.

We wanna see you suffer the way

his wife and two girls suffered.

We're gonna make you suffer

in ways you can't even imagine.

Then, when we think

you've had enough,

we're gonna put a bullet

right between your eyes.

I didn't kill anybody.

I've never killed anything.

I don't... whatever...

Whatever you think I did,

it's not me.

Garen, do you really

wanna piss us off?

You keep saying that name. I'm not Garen.

I don't know who that is!

My name is Patrick fox.

I work for Lamarque Ford.

I have...

I have a wife and a little boy.

Please, please...

Check my wallet.

Check my wallet.

I have an ID.

I have proof.

Check my wallet, please!

This is gonna be fun,

you know that?

Okay!

See, I thought you would at least

be man enough to accept your fate.

You denying what you did is only

gonna make us hurt you more.

I'll give you some time

to think about it.

Get your story straight.

I'm not the guy.

I'm not the g...

I'm not the guy you want!

I'm not the guy you want.

Now see, I really don't care.

F***.

It's too dark out here, man.

Can't see sh*t.

Spencer.

This is stupid, man. We're never

gonna find him like this.

You got a better plan?

I wanna know every detail

of everything that went down.

I'm calling my father.

I wanna know where this guy came from

and what business you have with him.

- I'm calling my dad.

- Give me the f***ing phone!
