are you thinking?

Are you f***ing stupid?!

You went the f*** alone?

Just take me to Punchy's.

I put down the sheets

that you gave me.

If you're gonna

tell him about this,

you know what we have to do.

Nostalgia isn't

what it used to be.

Yeah, but it's all we got.

Okay. Okay.

Jerry, sorry.

It's covered?

7-11. Perfect.

No, I'm not even the one

who's paying you on this.

How much of your money

did he get?

Cadillac.

You didn't think I knew about

the Cadillac, did you?

You didn't think Punchy knew.

Well,

of course Punchy found out.

He made Jake go get the money,

and for a little extra torture,

he had him count it out,

right there in front of him.

Jake knew the rules.

No one is going to steer any

work your way, ever again.

You make a move behind

Punchy's back,

you're gonna pay

the a**hole tax.

Nobody gets a pass.

Motherf***er...

The one guy who's supposed to

have my back doesn't show!

This is no time to get angry.

This is your f***-up,

your f***ing problem.

Okay, look, you should go,

okay, please.

You f***ing fix it!

Yeah, plan that out, Jake.

Plan that out!

Take it easy.

You leave me hanging so you can

chase some f***ing chump change

and now you got nothing.

You're not getting a f***ing

penny from me, Jake.

Aah, watch the f***ing road!

I told Easton he's gonna do some time.

And what you're facing, well,

they haven't even

created the word yet

to describe the heat you're

going to have to face.

Those SIS cops are gonna be

so far up your ass,

they're gonna be shifting

your sh*t out of the way.

LA SIS... that's a special

investigative section

of the police department...

they're gonna bug your

apartment, your car,

they're gonna follow you.

Yeah, he knows what

SIS cops are like.

Well,

it happened the way Punchy said it would.

I couldn't make a move

without a tail,

and I had to constantly

check for bugs.

Just like the last time

Easton f***ed up.

Worst of all, I had

to get a regular job.

That's like kryptonite

to guys like us.

So...

But there was a positive side

to it all.

Why isn't this awkward?

My life got back in order.

She knew how to eat a pizza.

And there was a long-term

relationship in that.

It is good.

Zip. Zap.

Zop.

Zip. Zop.

Yeah, I thought this whole

acting thing was silly,

but I didn't care.

The 13 months that Easton

spent behind bars

went by way too fast.

You don't know how to

play Bones or Dominos, man.

Come on, f*** you.

When you come out the joint,

they send you to

a halfway house.

It's the system's way of

rotating you back into society.

Fresh meat!

You put a bunch of criminals

in a house,

what do you think we'll do?

That's right.

White boys in the back.

That's how we run things

around here.

Take the little

rooms in the back.

No fears, no phone

till you kick down.

You think I'm kidding, ese?

Hey, I'm talking to you,

motherf***er.

Melville.

How you doing, brother?

I'm good.

Good to see you, man.

What are you, running

this place or something?

Guilty as pedro.

Hey, Q.

What?

Send my boy in the back?

We want that grilled

cheese in the jack.

Got it, Mel.

Thought you had

three years to go, man.

No, man. I'm here for

a month, then I'm out.

A month?

A month and then I'm out.

That's it.

When I grow up,

gonna be just like you.

Here you go.

What's that number?

Hello?

Wow, really?

My gosh!

Yes!

I know, it's a little loud.

I know, it kinda still

sounds like prison.

You know?

I... I don't know, nothing much.

I changed my hair a little.

I miss you too.

Miss you more.

All right. Bye!

I can't believe that he's...

that he's out.

He asked me to pick him up

at a halfway house

that he's staying at.

This is why I said it's best

if he just stays inside,

or if he...

You know?

I know.

So, what about all

that money he stole?

Punchy's got it.

Nobody knows where he is.

So what are we gonna do?

I'll take care of it.

I know you're gonna

take care of it,

but I need to know

what we're gonna do,

because I've got to talk to him,

I've got to pick him up,

I need to know what to say.

Okay, don't do anything until...

until I find out

where the bonds are.

Saw that guy eat a piece

of pizza without folding it.

You can't trust

a guy who does that.

I'll let you know when, okay?

Should've seen... My god.

Jesus. This is not funny!

Yes, it is! It's hilarious.

Come here.

Come on, he's right there.

All right, come on.

Not in front of Jake.

Come on! Let's...

This is not porn.

It's gross.

Five million.

But Easton is such

a reckless degenerate,

if we do things his way,

he's gonna get me pinched,

or killed.

And I'm not gonna let him

f*** this up for me.

Not this time.

Finesse.

Finesse?

Is that a club in the valley,

'cause I think we better not.

- Finesse.

- Finesse.

What are you guys talking about?

What are you stealing?

We're not stealing anything.

We're getting something back.

This is like that time

when we were at that

jewellery store, right,

where we were playing

a prank on Easton.

That's what we're doing, right?

You're gonna step out of the

elevator, Donny, and kill him.

Are we really gonna do that?

We're gonna kill him.

He has no manners. I'm Donny, by

the way. It's nice to meet you.

Daneel.

Daneel.

What's that?

Duh-neel.

Why's she f***ing with me?

What's her name?

Enough with the chitchat.

You see that house over there?

Donny.

How do I get into the elevator?

Just worry about

getting out, all right?

There's gonna be bodies,

there's gonna be shooting.

It may not be as easy to go down

after this is all done.

That's not what

my girlfriend says.

I'm joking! I'm joking.

It's not a f***ing joke!

How we gonna pull this off

without getting caught, man?

I got it. This is how

we do it. It's simple.

I know you're worried about

the cops figuring all this sh*t

out afterwards, right?

Like, how could your partner

be there, but not you, right?

So this is how we do it.

We... we get there

before we even get there.

Like, we were there already.

We get invited to, um... like the

bad version is a wine tasting,

or something like that...

'cause rich people do that

all the time,

they have wine tastings, I mean,

that's why you have money,

so you can, like,

invite a friend...

...like a boxing match or

something,

and so then when we get there,

we leave a hat

or something like that,

and then a few days later,

the day of, we come back

for the hat...

My god! Look at all these

dead bodies,

and then we call it in,

and we get to look like

the good Samaritans.

F***!

F***! F***!

How the f*** do we do this?

What? What? What's wrong?

There's supposed to be no

judgment in brainstorming.

That's all I'm saying.

Bad ideas birth good ones.

What's wrong?

Hey.

What?

Yeah, E, your parole officer's

on Holt.

Trust me.

Holt. With a T.

Yeah, you'll see it on the

left-hand side.

It's a KFC-Taco Bell.

I'm a recovering fat girl.

I should know this.

All right, it's hidden.
