since you dropped out

and moved out of our building.

You got a maid now.

So...

Look in that

duffel bag over there.

It's yours if you want it.

Where'd you get all this?

You got to go.

Take the bag.

I might not be able to take this

stuff on the plane to Beverly Hills.

Maybe you can sell it.

Tell your mom thank you

for the donuts and milk, please.

I live by myself, Pete.

Your parents let you

live by yourself?

Come on.

Oh, have fun at Riverview.

Word got out.

Curtis sung like a jay bird.

Anybody and everybody that works

for Kris, boom, they're out of here.

Everybody know your mom

ho for that cat.

She going to jail.

Where you think

you're going, huh?

It's inevitable.

Inevitable, baby!

Hey!

What is it now?

Come on, Pete!

Go, go.

Shh!

Open up!

Who is it?

Open up!

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, I'm coming.

Hurry up!

We have a warrant

to search the premises.

I'm gonna need you to sit down.

Yeah, I got the living room. Let me check.

Hands on your lap, please.

Oh! Oh, yeah.

We got something.

Hey, Sarge.

Found this in the living room.

Syringe, spoon,

lighter's still warm.

Check the bedroom.

All right.

Sh*t.

Anybody in here?

Aye, Sarge.

Uh, I checked the other bedroom.

It's empty.

Seems to be

clear in here as well.

I bet you we just missed him.

The mother's pretty messed up.

Leave him this.

He'll be wondering

where his momma is.

Take her down.

Let's go.

And when you see the kid,

make sure you grab him.

Bring the bag.

All right. I got it.

You should change.

Can I have some

privacy, please?

It's going to be a heat advisory

from noon until 8:00 p. m. on Thursday.

So here's some

quick tips for you.

Wear light colored clothing.

It will reflect the sun rays...

Today in New York,

we're already in the 80's,

and we're going for

once again 100 degrees.

This pirate game

was your idea, Timmy.

Besides, it's my

favorite color.

Argh!

Okay. I'll give it a shot.

Not so fast, Greenbeard!

En garde!

It's time for you to go home.

I could just stay with you.

She's not home.

Hi, Peter.

Is there something

I can help you with?

How do you know Pete?

I used to babysit for him once in a while.

Right, Peter?

Well can you watch him

until his mom gets here?

I'd be happy to.

Come on, Peter. Come on.

Yeah?

He's filthy.

He needs a bath.

Let's go, Pete.

Oh, I'm gonna call the police.

She ever do stuff

to you before?

She makes me sit in the bathtub

with my clothes off.

She ever touch you?

Why didn't you

tell me anything?

You said don't snitch.

Come on.

So, I can stay with you?

Moms will be out

in a few days.

I'll just pawn some stuff

from around the house

so we can eat
