21 Grams Page #4

So young.

You want me to stay

with you tonight?

I'm okay. Thanks.

I just wanna be alone.

[ Sniffles ]

Cris,

the police called.

They said you need to

go and press charges.

I'll go with you

if you want.

I'm not going to do anything.

Y-- This guy was--

was some ex-con.

Are you really gonna let him

just walk the streets?

What do you want me to do?

Well, he ran over

Michael and your daughters.

Nothing I can do

is going to bring them back.

Do you get that?

Hey, how you doin'?

You found it okay?

Yeah, I did.

The donor's name

was Michael Peck.

He was 37 years old.

An architect

and married.

This is the authorization

for transplant signed by

his wife, Cristina Williams Peck.

I have a copy

of the medical report

if you care to see it.

And I also have the widow's

phone number and address

just in case you're interested.

How did Michael Peck die?

You might have seen it

in the newspaper.

This guy named JackJordan

ran over Mr. Peck

and his two little girls...

October 10

at 6:
50 p.m.

This JackJordan's a piece of work.

He's been in and out of jail

since he was 16.

Car thief,

small-time crook, drugs,

bad checks, alcoholism.

Last time he was in jail

has only been a few years ago.

[ Coughing ]

You feeling okay, Mr. Rivers?

This is what you wanted,

isn't it?

Okay, I just, um--

You want some water?

He was, uh, an architect.

What's the point

in getting involved?

Mary, I wanna know

who I am now.

I don't think

that's the way to do it.

What is then?

Look for it with me.

Let's look ahead together,

not behind.

Damn it,Jack, it's your birthday

and you didn't even have

one drink with me.

Why don't you come over to my place?

I'm having a party.

Yeah, I bet they're all

as boring as you are.

[ Laughs ]

You'd be surprised.

No, man, I'll pass.

Listen, I'll call you later

about that job, okay?

All right, man.

All right.

Thank you.

[ Horn Honks ]

Hey, Brown, you should.

I will.

[ Wheezing ]

Okay, now, we can schedule

the surgery, um,

I could get you in

as early as Monday.

Yeah.

What's the percentage chance

that Mary will get pregnant?

Well, I can't offer you

a real number on that.

Um, you know,

there's the damage

from the abortion...

that wasn't handled properly--

the blockage--

[ Paul ]

What abortion?

What abortion, Mary?

I can explain.

Explain what?

There is an explanation.

Uh-huh.

All that drama

about artificial insemination.

Kids' names.

You got pictures

of our friends' babies

all over the place.

Why?

So you can flush it

down the f***in' toilet?

We've been a fraud

for a long time, Mary.

Oh, yeah?

Why didn't you tell me that

when you were sick, huh?

Or did you expect

one of your girlfriends

to come and take care of you?

You came back

because you wanted to.

Don't blame me for that.

I came back to take care of you

because I love you.

Or because

you were feeling lonely.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I can't keep going like this.

The insemination,

the child.

It's like we're trying to

put a Band-Aid on something

that's just been bled dry.

It's finished.

But it-- it isn't finished

if we give it a chance

and have this baby.

When we could have,

you didn't want to.

We were separated, goddamn it!

It's different now!

Yes, it's different.

We gonna go?

You only know how

to think about yourself.

[ Guard ]

Close six!

Well, thanks

for finally seeing me.

They tell me

you don't want to eat.

I'm not hungry.

Jack,Jesus didn't come

to free us from pain.

He came to give us

the strength to bear it.

Maybe He wanted

this pain for me.

No, He had nothing

to do with this.

It was an accident.

No, it wasn't an accident.

Jesus chose me for this.

Jack,

ask for the mercy

ofJesus Christ.

If it was an accident,

why do I have to ask

for His mercy?

"I will have mercy

on whom I will have mercy.

"I will have compassion

on whom I will have compassion.

- Don't be so prideful. That's a sin.

- "And the fearful and unbelieving.

"And the abominable,

the murderers, the warmongers,

Jack, listen to me.

"the sorcerers and the idolaters

and all liars...

Jesus came to save us,

not to damn us.

"shall have their part...

in the lake which burneth

with fire and brimstone."

Revelation 21:
8.

Jesus, loves you.

But He also knows how to punish

arrogant sinners like you.

"As many as I love,

I rebuke and chaste."

Revelation 3:
19.

-Jesus betrayed me.

- Stop this sh*t, or you're

going straight to hell!

Hell?

This is hell.

Right here!

You're damning your soul!

You shut up now...

and ask Christ

to forgive you!

Hey! Forgive me?

I did everything

He asked me to do!

I changed!

I gave Him my life,

and He betrayed me.

He put that f***ing truck in my hand

so I could carry out His will.

Made me kill that man

and those girls.

But hey, He didn't

give me the strength

to stay and save them.

Don't blaspheme, you bastard!

Christ had nothing to do with this!

God even knows

when a single hair

moves on your head.

And you taught me that.

We're gonna pray

for you,Jack.

[ Chattering ]

[ Car Engine Starts ]

Good evening, sir.

[ Rock ]

Excuse me.

[ Rock Continues, Indistinct ]

Using discrepancy, lyric weaponry

lessens your chances of testing me

Stop and freeze M.C. 's

I block atrocities

Philosophies from the lips

ofblack Socrates

The pocket-penciler

in your peninsula

Killing Dracula M.C. 's

who bit from my vernacular

I can back it

The ill scene we occupy

No lullaby, got you high

when I rock a fly

Verse, for my people

let me breathe slow

Give a heave-ho

and stimulate your cerebral

System, cut chemist grip the fader

Tuna the group debater

[ Continues, Indistinct ]

Hey,just like

old times, huh?

How the hell

have you been?

Did you end up marrying

that hunk you brought

around here last time?

Yep.

Yeah?

Is he a good lay?

How they make us suffer, huh?

It's all right.

I got some great candy for you.

I got Special "K, "angel dust.

I got your all-time favorite.

And I got the newest

of the new-- R-2.

This sh*t is all the rage.

You take two of these,

-you go straight to heaven.

- I'm not into chemicals.

Cristi, you're not

a cuddly little kitty now, are you?

Look, if you don't like 'em,

you don't pay for 'em.

That's my girl.

It's busy.

[ Knocking ]

Hey, go easy on the booze

tonight, right?

- [ Neck Bones Cracking ]

- [ Gasping ]

[ Yells ]

What the f***?

[ Yelling ]

What the f***

are you doing?

[Jack Sobbing ]

[ Chattering ]

Would you get

my car keys?

Sure.

- What do you care, a**hole?

- I can get you a cab.

- I don't need a f***in' taxi.

-Just give me the glass, ma'am.

Here's your f***in' glass.

- [ Crash ]

- [ Man ] You okay?

Stupid f***ing a**hole, move your car!

I'm fine. Get away from my car!

There's no damage.

I'm fine.

Get away from my car.

There's no damage.

Excuse me, I know her.

I can drive her home.

Is this any of your business?

I'm your friend Paul

from the sports club.

Yeah, well--
