Damn, man! Come on, man!

I'm lucky you all know I got cash pool.

You got these cats disrespecting your crib.

It ain't no disrespect, it was an accident.

You know how I play the game.

I don't know about that thing

we discussed at the gym.

When you moved on this kid, what's up?

Did you take care of it

on your own or what?

-I hired somebody to do the sh*t.

-Hired who?

A brother member, a family member?

Not your brother or my brother.

That's a bad move.

You're playing dirty pool.

What are you talking about?

You can't send no child to do a man's job.

You have to handle it on your own.

As soon as he needs a fix or something,

you're burned.

You don't know nothing about him,

what his weakness is.

I'm just trying to save your ass.

You got somebody to do it--

Save my ass? Come on, man.

I was taking your advice.

But you wasn't man enough

to do it yourself.

You gotta be a man.

When you make moves--

You're assassinating my character.

Assassinating your character?

Your manhood?

-You got some kid you don't know, l--

-I know him!

-Hi. Is this District Attorney King?

-Yes, it is.

I'm Mark Clear.

I'm a detective with the NYPD, sir.

I have a bit of information

about your son Will...

...that I'd like to meet you about.

What information are we talking about?

It's very important.

I think I should meet you in person.

I'm free from 2:
00 to 2:30

tomorrow afternoon.

No, tomorrow isn't good.

I'd say in an hour would be best.

Right away would be really good.

You should drop everything

you're doing right now and meet me.

If you know what I mean.

So where's your friend Charlie?

She don't want none of this dick today?

She's angry at you.

What the f*** she angry about?

-Because of the other night.

-What happened the other night?

You disrespected her.

She got what her hand called for.

Anyway, you think

I can't satisfy you by myself?.

-I don't know.

-Why don't you let me show you?

You can show me. But I still think

of you and Charlie as a team.

Oh, sh*t.

Mr. King?

-Hi, I'm Mark Clear. How you doing?

-Can I see some...

...identification?

I'm a detective with the 15th Precinct.

I have some photographs to show you.

You heard about the murder

of that basketball player, Dean, from City?

Yes, I've heard of it. I'll be prosecuting

the case as soon as we catch the killer.

-Can I see the photographs?

-Yeah.

Those were taken about two minutes

after your son shot and killed the victim.

I don't want to arrest your son.

Does anyone else know

about these photographs?

Nobody.

-What do you want?

-Redemption.

-I'm a D.A., I'm not a priest.

-That's why you can help me.

A priest can't help me here.

Let me tell you something about myself.

My dad is a lawyer.

He's a very liberal lawyer.

My mom was involved in voter registration

in the South in the '60s.

She put her life on the line

for causes she believed in.

I went a different way

and became a gambler and a cheat...

...l stole, basically, did everything wrong.

I was rebelling against what they were.

I don't know whatever the hell it was.

I also was very creative as a kid.

I actually made guitars.

I made my own clothes.

I'm good with my hands.

I can talk my way in and out

of a lot of situations.

It's gotten me into trouble a lot in my life.

It's also done incredibly well for me.

Have you ever heard of...

...Saul of Tarsus?

Do you know who that was in the Bible?

He became St. Paul the Apostle.

He was an epileptic

who had this conversion.

He decided not to persecute Christians

but to become one.

The most zealous Christian ever.

Six years ago, I had a big change in my life.

I decided to become a cop.

I had this girlfriend who was just

not even a f***ing girlfriend.

She was more like the only woman

I ever loved.

She was just really f***ing with my head.

I think she got off on the fact

that I was a criminal.

And when I had a change in my life,

when I decided to do something...

...to persecute these f***ers....

When I became who I am now...

...she couldn't deal with it, she left.

She left and she--

-What do you want from me?

-I'm trying to explain what I want.

I'm leaving in one minute.

What do you want?

I want to explain to you.

Before I became a cop, I was a gambler...

...l got involved

in some very bad situations.

There's one situation

that I got involved with...

...that's coming back now,

it'll come across your desk.

This guy named Jimmy Fordo.

There's a basketball fix.

I know the case.

I think I understand

where you're leading this.

Do you? 'Cause there's a really

simple solution to this problem here.

I can help your son out, you can

help me out, we can help each other.

I don't know.

What you don't...

...know about my son and me is that...

...we're not close.

Will and l...

...we haven't seen each other

for two years.

I don't know if I wanna help Will...

...and I know I don't want to help you.

But I will have to speak with my son

and I'll need some time.

All right. Okay.

I don't wanna tell you

how you wanna live your life...

...but I think you should help your son.

I think I can help you help your son.

What do you want?

What's going on?

What's up with you?

Why you out here like this?

I don't want those hands on me right now.

I don't know where they've been.

What's up with you and white girls?

-Me and white girls?

-You said you'd never go there.

You're acting like it's my girl or something.

What're you talking about?

I just had to walk in and see a white girl,

with hair down to her ass, blue eyes...

...with granny underwear

on with f***ing flowers on them.

We ain't married or nothing.

I don't see no ring on your finger or mine.

I'm just trying to give you a reality check...

...on how you're living right now.

It's foul and disgusting.

Won't you come over here

and make my house a home?

I shouldn't have

to make your house a home.

-I told you how I felt a long time ago.

-You're used goods. I don't want you.

You know what you need? You need

to go inside and do some searching.

Figure out who the f*** you are

before it's too late.

Can you pop the trunk, please?

Thank you.

See you in a week. We're off to the South.

-Honey.

-What?

Come on. What's the matter?

-Please.

-I'm not sure.

I'm not sure that I'm going now.

-Don't do this again. Every time we fly....

-Just go solo.

Solo? What's the matter with you?

Get in the car!

-I'm not going.

-You are going. Stop it!

I am tired of living this lie. Every time

we got down there we pretend--

Stop it. Get in the car.

Just get in the car, okay?

I'm a come guzzler. Mike nailed it!

-Stop it! Okay?

-I don't wanna pretend anymore.

Richard, I'm gay!

-Richard does not care.

-Richard's known.

What do I do?

She's out of town with boys in here.

Am I a fag or what?

Stop it, please! So what? You're a fag.

Who the f*** cares?

Everyone knows but you.

You won't even admit it.

I do admit it. I admit everything.

I'm fine with it.
