- Hey, I don't need this!

All right, I'm down here trying to help.

Hey. Look, man,

he doesn't mean nothing by it, all right?

- Thanks for coming by, okay?

- Screw you.

Meds not working

or we just need to get you laid?

- What's the problem?

- Look at this.

It's a camera.

They knew the elevator was empty.

They knew the building.

They knew the whole system.

Yeah, must be a hundred hours here.

We don't know

what the hell we're looking for.

Not to piss on Grand Cayman,

but I think I can get you an additional

in the Dutch Antilles. I say why not?

Yeah, but the way the markets

keep jumping around, man,

another four, six weeks,

who knows what the rates'll be?

And have you seen

the latest Bloomberg report?

- Sh*t is bleak out there.

- "Bloomberg reports"? Are you kidding me?

Come on, college guys.

Let's not over-think it.

Yeah, come on.

Dutch Antilles wanna pay us more money.

- That's a no-brainer.

- I like the Dutch Antilles,

as long as the banks don't pack up

and take my money overnight.

Of course. 10% to the usual charities?

- Absolutely.

- Cool by me.

I chartered a jet.

It's taking off Van Nuys Airport tonight.

Anybody wants to come,

I got your private parking passes right here.

It'll be sweet.

Man, life's looking pretty good

from right here.

I'll let you know later.

Nice house. Cool view.

Great scotch.

You know, jacking that news chopper

had "A.J." written all over it.

How'd you get in my house?

Please.

They let you out early or what?

Good behavior. About a year early.

But I guess you guys kind of lost track, huh?

No contact. That's what we agreed upon.

So, what's up?

I think I'm gonna have another scotch.

It's good sh*t, John.

You gonna drink with me, right?

Sure you are.

You see, I came to you, John,

because you the one with that

higher consciousness and sh*t.

- All right, I'm listening.

- Well, you asked what's up.

I miss my homies. That's what's up.

That, and some unfinished business.

Your money from '04 is safe

and accruing interest.

Gordon's got the bank account numbers.

What about Lilli? Who's got her numbers?

She's with Jake now.

Well, good for them.

I got a deal we need to discuss.

- A job.

- You're kidding me, right?

You're coming at me with a job right now?

Think I'd come at you on some bullshit?

Once in a lifetime, John. You know me.

I do my homework.

All right, so what do you

want me to say here?

You ain't got to say sh*t.

Just remember I was the one left bleeding

on that fire escape in '04.

And they tried everything they could

to flip me.

I ain't budge, 'cause we had a deal.

I kept my end.

I kept this, too. You owe me, bro.

All of you.
