I asked him about it. he said

Karma would take care of it

He is just happy to have a second chance in life.

i am out of all favours for you son.

I think you had all the second chances you need.

Look, just come back tommorow morning?

Let me sleep on it.

Hey.

Hey.

Your car keys.

How you doing?

How do you care so much?

How do you love me so much?

I guess some stupid women

Have the ability to see beyond.

See the good

I am sorry!

For what?

I can never be the man you deserve.

every night,

I wish that Isaihs father would come see him...

write to him or something.

But he gets nothing.

Instead the closest thing he has to a father

Is a convict who...rarely sees him

But when he does...

This mother appreciate every second.

I just...

I want the best for my son, you know?

what about you?

You deserve better.

What if I were to tell you that

i might be going away again?

I'll tell you that i'll be

waiting for you again.

why?

Because you deserve better.

Say it Jenny. Say "I deserve better".

I cant!

I need to hear you say it, Jenny.

Say "I deserve better".

I deserve better.

Thank you for everything that

you've ever done to me.

I know that one day you'll

get everything you deserve.

Sup stranger?

We need to talk homie.

"Pee Wee", let him in man.

I spoke to halloween the other day.

He said you hit him in the back

of the head with a baseball bat.

Man I know about you temper,

but that was something stupid.

he was gonna kill the guy.

yeah?

And you said we were just gonna rough him up.

No homeboy you had it all mixed up!

I said you were gonna rough him up.

I was doing you a favour,

that motherf***er jumped your cousin!

Nah man, he owed you money,

and that's it.

he was a junkie. he didnt want to pay.

what am I supposed to do?

You give me back what you owe me,

or i'll take it.

He had a daughter.

So do you.

all right.

So how you wanna handle it?

A man of your talent,

i could definitely use.

but trust me Tony, everybody

pays me back one way or another

I am done doing sh*t for you.

I say when you're done.

Let me ask you, Tony.

do you know what you're doing?

Idon't want this lifestyle anymore.

Im looking out for the best interest

of my daughter, and that's it.

I understand.

- Maza, Pull over ese!

- You got it, homie.

we're even right?

we're done, no?

Yeah we're done.

Can I help you, partner?

Do I know you?

Oh yeah! Parole office.

Hey, do you have some change

for a bite ?

I am not supporting your drinking,

old man.

How can somebody get like that!

Lost in their own paradise!

The devils cleverest trade,

is to make you believe he don't exist.

your P.O is Jesse Southern?

yeah, why?

just that thing you said, he told me that.

Yeah?

yeah that fool is crazy.

He used to be my brothers P.O too.

That crazy guy used the same

tricks on all his parolees.

Like what?

Acts like he hates you,

even tough he wants to help.

Slam your face on the desk,

handcuff you?

Yeah.

Tells you that you're gonna

go back to prison or some sh*t.

But the big one, is that mentor sh*t.

what about it?

that sh*t aint true!

that crazy fool has never been locked up!

yeah, how you know?

internet, homie.

what about his son dying on the streets?

Never heard that one before.

- all right, homie.

- Take care of yourself.

Hey Steven, is Nina home?

Is ruby there?

May I speak to her?

Hey...

I know you're a good dad...

I tried to be a good dad once

but wasnt very much good at that.

I couldnt even keep my wife happy.

But it seems that you do both things well.

I just want to speak with

my daughter for a second, Steven.

Please!

How you doing sunshine?

Well, Daddy might be going away for a while.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Sometimes life isnt fair.

But you gotta promise me.

you gotta promise me that

you aint gonna hate nobody.

Promise me,? Say it.

And don't forget...

whenever you miss me,

all you gotta do is look at the sky.

and you can see the marsupials

and the gorillas together.

I love you, Ruby!

all i've ever known in my life is

the pain and violence that I went through

and put people through

Dad!

dad!

i know there is one true love

the love of a daughter that is ready

to give you a second chance

The type of relationship

you need to cherish

some people don't always get

what they want, some don't deserve it

I tried

I just wish I could have made better choices

you see there is so much more

being a father than loving your kid

At least I left her with that love

I am going to a better place now

just for me, is a place of peace and certainty.

i understand now

see 25 to life is not just a sentence

It is a time of arrival.

And I finally arrived
