We're past that. We're doing OK.

What you have to do, Steve,

is take one day at a time.

I know, I know, I know.

- You want to take a sick day?

- No.

- You sure?

- I'd rather be on the street with you.

We alive, baby? Talk to me.

- Let's go find out.

- Kiss me. Give me a kiss.

Get off of me!

What's the matter with you?

- Move this out of here.

- I gotta stop wearing suits.

- What for?

- It doesn't look good.

Why don't you believe it

when I say you look good?

- It's a nice suit.

- I know.

Felix, you working now?

- That's a large miscreant you got there.

- Thanks for your concern.

... you, your children,

relatives and neighbours.

The innocent victims

of this nation's drug war. Miami.

This is the third time this month

I've been robbed. What are you gonna do?

- I know.

- Third time?

- That's actually not too bad.

- That's not.

The important thing is,

where are we gonna have lunch today?

You're thinking about lunch already.

- I'm hungry.

- Don't get comfortable, Lewis.

Come on. The both of you.

- Speaking of fun guys.

- Yeah.

- Good coffee today.

- Yeah? I made it.

- Before you.

- No, darling, please...

Yeah, come on. Come on.

You know a guy named Mickey Garrett?

- Yeah.

- Neighbourhood lowlife. Crack junkie.

He was holding people up

outside cash machines.

- Garrett says you set him up.

- Come on.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Are you setting me up for something?

- This guy has a bad beef with you.

- What for? We helped him.

He just took his wife and kids hostage.

Stay behind the barricades.

Come on, Mickey! Come on!

Who's the tough guy? Wanna get some?

Yeah, man, do it up!

Your main man's got himself a jackpot.

Don't worry. He'll boogie

right past all you motherfuckers.

Look at this, Stevie.

Drop the video camera!

Lewis, this whole party's for you, my son!

- I see you, motherf***er...

- Shut the f*** up!

- I see you. Come on.

- Mickey!

- Second right!

- I see him.

Let's go.

- Let's go, Danny.

- I'm coming.

- This is strictly voluntary.

- Yeah, I know.

Hi, Cheryl. What's happening?

He's got a cigarette jones from

all that dope. Maybe this'll work you in.

Come on, Lewis, let's go.

All right?

This is Lieutenant Farrell

from hostage negotiation.

They told you this was voluntary?

- Yeah.

- He's been smoking ice.

He's in a psychotic state.

That's his wife. He's been pulling her

around, sticking that cannon in her face.

She's scared to death.

The wife always gets the worst of it.

He's got two kids too. Where are they?

- We haven't seen them.

- Let's go.

Let's do it. All right. Let's go.

Watch yourself when you're in there.

Mickey?

Mickey Garrett!

Come on in! The door's open!
