Where's my James Brown tape?

The sh*t ain't in here.

Nobody keeps me

and James in prison.

- We didn't finish our conversation.

- Get me my f***ing money.

You're not getting your money

unless you help me.

l trusted you with my money

and my car, and you f***ed me.

l've been chasing a drug dealer

called the lceman for four years.

Last week l found out

that he wants you dead.

l got this off some guy being paid to

make a hit on you. Recognise him?

ln four years,

you're the best lead l ever had.

Yeah? l ain't helping you

while you got my money.

You let me rot in prison for five years

and then show up wanting help?

- That's dumb, man!

- This time it's gonna be different.

l'm going to lose my badge.

They're gonna put me in jail.

You're in trouble with the law?. Good!

As bad as l feel about losing

my money, that makes me feel better.

Wait a minute. l don't beg!

What are you gonna do, shoot me?

l'm the best lead you ever had.

l'll come and visit you

in about five or six years.

- Let's go.

- We got a schedule.

- l'm not on the State's time no more.

- Write a letter.

The big f***er in the blue Caddy,

that's the pig who wasted my brother.

This is great, man. l get them both.

HAMMOND:
You don't know

what you do to me

Let me down

in misery

Oh, yes, sir! Well!

Oh, yes, sir!

Heeeeeey!

Hit me! All right

Aooooooh!

Heh! Heh! Heh! Aoooooh!

Wanna kiss myself!

Good God! Well!

And l got to feel it!

Heeeey!

Well! Oh!

Baby, baby, baby!

Baby, baby, baby!

Baby, baby, baby!

Baby, baby, whooooo!

Want to get on the...

on the good foot! Oh, good God!

Hey! Aaaooow! Just sometimes l...

When l go to church...

Yeeeaaaah!

Baby, baby, baby!

Baby, baby, baby! Baby, baby...

Get down!

l'm going west on Highway 50.

Get some help here, right now!

l need help now!

Let's go.

(POLlCE SlRENS)

Come on.

Come on!

You've fractured your left clavicle.

Blood trauma broke the skin.

- You always wear a bullet-proof vest?

- Only when l see my friends.

l want you to change the bandage

on your chest every hour.

l have to immobilise this arm.

Wear this sling.

- Where are you going?

- l've got police business.

l was minding my own business,

and those bikers started shooting.

- The x-rays are fine.

- But my head is still hurting.

You had a bus roll over on you.

You might have a slight concussion.

But you're one lucky man.

- We're going to hold you overnight.

- You ain't holding me overnight.

l'm going home. l ain't spending

my first day out in no hospital.

You'll be here to answer questions.

You never saw those bikers before?

All you rednecks look the same to me.

- Keep on him, Art.

- Great, Art the goddamn redneck.

l was coming out of the kitchen

with this guy's breakfast.

He looked funny. Not just hungry,

but like he's mad at something.

The next thing there's gunshots

and the window's breaking...

- Hammond, when can l see him?

- l've got to keep him overnight.

That's one lucky guy. l'd like to

follow him around a racetrack.

You know what he was in jail for?.

That son of a b*tch is a child molester.

He's involved in kiddie porn. l've got

to get him to San Francisco tonight.

He'll identify the kingpin. lf l don't get

him there tonight, the kingpin walks.

You want a ride in a Cadillac?

l've been having a f***ed-up day.

The last thing l want to see is you.

l'm just trying to help you out.

You could always catch a bus.

You had a lot of luck on the last one.

Do me a favour. Stay away from me.

l'm sorry, Reg.

They released you in my custody.

- Have you seen those bikers before?

- Where's my money?.

You tell me why the lceman wants

you dead, you'll get your money.

- Ask the guy you got my picture off.

- He can't talk. l killed him.

- Do they pay you by the pound?

- He shot at me first.

- Only we can't find his gun.

- Are you looking for sympathy?.

l'm supposed to be in Florida running

my uncle's used-car business.

lnstead l'm broke, l was shot at, l was

in a bus that flipped over 20 times,

l broke my walkman and l was hit

by a big truck. So leave me alone.

Life's tough. l ran into your friends.

They shot me in the chest six times.

- You don't look bad for a dead man.

- l was wearing one of these.

- Why?.

- l knew l was going to see you.

l wouldn't want to get killed by

a stray bullet that was meant for you.

You think l should get one?

They're about $750. That's more than

they gave you when they let you out.

- l hope you got my Porsche.

- l said l'd take real good care of it.

That don't mean nothing. You said

we had a deal and you f***ed me.

You f***ed yourself.

You stole the prison payroll.

- l checked into it.

- l was framed.

Yeah, some convict got a guard

to put the money in your cell.

- Sure you got framed.

- What about you?

They never found that guy's gun

out at the racetrack.

- l'm a cop. You're a crook.

- So everything l say is a goddam lie?

Just take me to my car.

l'm through with you.

What's wrong, does your arm hurt?

Does it hurt bad? Good.

We've got a problem here, slick.

l didn't hire these hillbillies,

so don't come complaining to me.

Yes, plan B.

We've got an ex-Marine on the case.

The only problem is,

he's a hillbilly, too.

Right, later.

- How much money did you spend?

- About 25 grand.

- You said l could buy a new car.

- Where is it?

- This is a new car.

- This is the same old piece of sh*t.

l bought the same model, year, colour.

That's the way l like it.

You got the same car, same clothes.

- You got the same girl, too?

- Elaine?

- Hell, l don't want to talk about this.

- Keep it all balled up like a knot.

She married me about

five years ago in City Hall.

She figured she'd settle me down.

This was where we lived

till we split up.

l want to sell it. Twelve grand

of yours went for the down payment.

How could you leave my car outside?

What if somebody stole it?

l had a lock put on it.

Just push this blue button.

You have no appreciation

whatsoever of what's hype.

You know how much p*ssy

l got because of that car?.

They blew up my car!

- They blew up my car!

- That's a damn shame.

- That's all you've got to say?.

- You're having a bad day.

l'm through with you.

l'm calling some of my homies.

l'm getting a loan. l'm stepping off!

Buster, what's up? Reggie Hammond.

Yes, my brother!

l'm out. l'm on the street again.

Yeah, cool. Listen...

Yeah, l know. l'm gonna do that.

That's why l'm calling. l need a loan.

l know l owe you some sh*t,

but l just got out of jail.

Listen... l don't have collateral.

l just got out of jail.

l don't need collateral,

this is Reggie Hammond. Hey...

Hey, Buster?. Buster..?

- We heard your house blew up.

- Not my house. A car.

- Your car blew up?

- No, some guy who parked out front.

- Anything come in on those bikers?

- No, l'll check again.

You've got to see Wilson. lf you don't,

he'll send someone to get you.

Jack, are you okay?.

You giving him a ticket?
