- Because I know the kid.

For God's sake, he's only 13.

We've got 13-year-olds with shoe boxes

filled with more cash than I make in a year.

I know a 14-year-old with two Mercedes.

And he can't even drive.

Take some advice.

Go home and stay where it's safe.

Do some social work.

You saw it foryourself. This crack gang,

they're not nice. They're killers.

If they've got him, there's no way

you're gonna get him out.

What would you do? If it were your son,

what would you do?

My son wouldn't be out there.

Then you're a very lucky man.

Thanks forthe help.

sorry I said what I did about you.

That's OK. I don't like gardening anyway.

What?

- What are you gonna do?

- stay away from this operation.

The kid's probably dead and I don't want

that prick Barnes anywhere near.

Lieutenant, is something going down?

I said it wasrt any of your business.

Am I going crazy here

or didn't I say stay the f*** away?

All right, everybody,

wake your little asses up. Move!

Hey. I'm talking to you. Wake the f*** up.

You boys are here to learn a lesson.

some of you were up and you f***ed up.

Nobody quits.

stay out of trouble,

you get back on the streets.

F*** up and you go to the Madison House

and I'll throw your ass in the pit.

(Door slams)

Get me another beer.

Martha, that's not gonna help.

Who in the hell are you

to tell me what's gonna help?

Tommy's gone and you're having dinner?

What are you gonna do about it?

He's in trouble. You don't even care.

How can you say that?

Tommy's like my own kid.

- Well, then God help us.

- Mom.

I gotta go.

How dare you tell me that?

How can you say that I don't care

when you accepted his expensive gifts

and his money?

And pretended you didn't know

what was going on? And you, too.

And then you blame it on me. How dare you?

Tom! Tom!

- Hey, Tommy!

- I ain't Tommy. Get your hands off me, man!

- Get off!

- Go.

Let's get out of here.

(Thunder)

(Crash)

sucker!

- How you doing, Justin?

- still standing, James.

Do that.

Good evening, sir.

- Yes, sir. Thank you.

- (# Light jazz)

- What can I get you, sir?

- Club soda, please.

Thank you.

Can I get you something?

she'll have an Absolut Vodka on the rocks.

Very good.

What is a beautiful woman like you

doing all alone in a bar like this?

I'm not alone, I'm with you.

You used to be.

That's right. How could I forget?

You were always drunk.

- Would you like another Club soda?

- No, thank you.

- Now you're not?

- Fouryears.

- I'm so proud of you.

- Me, too.

How the hell are you? It's good to see you.

Excuse me.

Just back off, James.

Just tell Carlos I'll be right there, OK?

Look, I gotta go. It was great seeing you...
