Blood Out Page #4

They're soldiers.

They know nothing

but thugging, fighting and f***ing.

It takes a man like you...

..to become a general.

We get paid handsomely...

..the world needs us...

..and we need the paper.

I'll be watching you tonight.

Just to see how good you really are.

- Kelvin Martin.

- Yeah, I know who he is.

I knew him.

You guys are tied in with the cops?

Wouldn't exactly call Hardwick a cop.

We want Martin.

Anything else, my friend...

..is a bonus.

Let's go catch us a tribe.

I'm in.

(TURNS ENGINE OFF)

Look, first thing we gotta do,

make sure they don't have eyes.

You two, go check the corners.

Get back quick.

We get in there, we move fast.

Don't give 'em any chances, OK?

You got it?

Let's do it.

- What's up, mother-f***er?!

- Yeah, don't f***ing move!

Yeah, sit your f***ing ass right there!

I wish you would, huh? Yeah.

- Get your hands where I can see them!

- RUN!

Arggh!

Don't even f***ing think about it.

Keep those f***ing hands

where I can see them. Stay there.

Anthony, we got a rabbit.

(BOTH GRUNT WITH EXERTION)

No!

Come back here!

(C*CKS PISTOL)

(MEN PUNCH AND GRUNT)

F*** you up, man!

Hey, Squat. I got it.

You Kelvin?

You wanna come check my ID, huh?

Come check my ID.

It's in my back pocket.

('U AIN'T HARD' BY D MAC)

Ugh!

Ugh!

Oh!

Hey, Kelvin, just so you know, from now

on, you belong to the Assassins, OK?

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)

You made it.

What, you had doubts?

Hmm, maybe.

I'm warrior blood. You risk death.

Sh*t, then I guess I'm dead, huh?

(LAUGHS)

I'm only slightly dramatic.

No, you're not.

But you are elusive.

Yes, I am.

I am elusive because I do not put

expectations on other people.

That way I do not get let down.

(LAUGHS) You learn a few things

when you've been screwed over

as much as I have.

Things change, right?

From now on, I'm around.

Oh, really?

And who are you?

And, more importantly, why are you here?

Why?

You waltz in here like you're

king of the f***ing world.

I mean, Elias is trying to

figure out a way to adopt you.

- And on top of that, you...

- Hey, hey, hang on.

Maybe, uh...

Maybe it's not that complicated.

Maybe, you know, you and l...

..you and I are just here

because we're here.

What do you think?

(MOANS SOFTLY)

('OCEANS' BY ANDRA)

Oh! Oh.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Hey, Billy.

Mike. Man, how are you?

- Where are you?

- You don't wanna know.

What d'you find?

Well, when I searched

the national database for RSA

and I cross-referenced Elias,

it's pretty obvious

the Feds are all over this gang.

It's on the FBI's national task

force list as well.

Mike? Mike, are you there?

Yeah, yeah, I'm here. F***ing Feds.

Damn.

I guess, you know, sometimes, a man's

gotta do what a man's gotta do, right?

Look, man, this sh*t is bigger than you.

I know what you're trying to do

and I really understand it.

But if I were you, I'd just let it go.

I mean, look at David.

You knew the life he lived.

And if you're thinking about

doing some vigilante-type sh*t,

you might not get away with it.

Don't have a choice, Billy.

I gotta take care of this.

Michael, make no mistake about it.

With a badge, it's justice served.

Without a badge, it's murder.

It's like this, man.

Why don't you just tell me

where you are,

so if you need any help,

I can be johnny-on-the-spot?

Thanks for caring, man.

Gotta keep you clean.

You're in deep enough.

Take care, Billy.

Sh*t.

F***ing Feds. I can't believe it.

Hey, Gloria, wait.

For God's sake, listen to me,

I need to help you!

I wanna help you.

You one of Anthony's homies?

- What you got? Some blow for me?

- No.

Nothing like that.

My name's Michael.

Michael, David's brother.

David who?

David Savion.

What the f***?! Why am I

supposed to f***ing believe you?

Come in here with

these crank-ass whores!

Listen to me.

I'm trying to get you out of here.

This is why I'm here.

Gotta get you out of here, you have

a baby. Your baby, David's baby, OK?

Let me help you.

How am I supposed to believe you?

- That's f***ing sh*t!

- Listen...listen to me. Come here.

Can't f***ing tell the whole

neighbourhood. Come here, please.

It's our mother's ring you're wearing.

How am I supposed to believe you?

Listen to me,

I just wanna get you out of here.

Take care of yourself,

take care of the baby, take care...

- Just let me help you, please.

- No, no.

You guys murdered

the only f***ing thing I ever loved.

- I loved him.

- How am I supposed to...

I loved him, too, Gloria.

F*** you!

Get that f***ing sh*t away from me.

F***.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hey, man.

Gonna shoot me through the door?

What, with this?

What's up?

Elias wants to see you.

Yeah, what about?

He wouldn't say.

And I asked.

- What, right now?

- Right f***ing now.

OK.

Give me a second.

(TENSE MUSIC)

ELIAS:
Michael.

MICHAEL:
What's going on?

- Sit down. Come on.

- OK.

I need to talk to you.

Sit, please.

Do you remember I spoke to you

about the war?

- Yeah. Every...every word.

- Good.

The world you and I travel in

is run by very few powerful men.

Now, these men are not politicians.

Nor are they military experts.

The battles we've fought

over petty turf is now behind us.

We've grown to become leaders.

International leaders.

We no longer divide and conquer.

We conquer and divide.

This weekend is a summit of our network.

I know that.

Arturo is representing South America...

..Zed and I North America.

Who's covering Europe?

- I like your thinking.

- Business, right?

Right.

But first things first.

We can unite North and South America.

That puts Zed at the top

and me over North America.

Sounds like a bloodbath to me.

Yes and no. Then again,

perhaps it's down to you.

Me? Why?

We decided to keep it fun...

entertaining...civilised.

Arturo brings his general,

and I bring mine.

You.

How can I help?

A blood match. Winner takes all.

Now...

..the question is, Mr General...

..are you willing to represent

our organisation?

What do you think?

You lose...

..we work for Arturo

till the end of our days.

You win...

Look at me.

..riches...beyond your

wildest imagination...

..will be ours.

Who would I be fighting?

Hector Gonzales.

Arturo's greatest general.

Really? So how great is he?

You're greater. You're faster.

You're more powerful, more intelligent.

You can win.

No, no, no, no. Not you can win.

You will win.

So I guess, um...your wish...

..my honour, right?

I thought you'd say that.

OK, let's celebrate.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Yep?

Yo, it's A-Train. Gloria's here.

- Really?

- She told me about yesterday.

- And?

- She wants your help.

Cool. That's a good thing, right?

Where are you?

Fifth and Broussard.

OK. OK, I'll be right there. (HANGS UP)

(TENSE MUSIC)

We cool?

We're cool.

You're doing the right thing,

you know that.

I know.

Thank you.

Course.

She wants help?

I hope so.

Why don't you go ask her?

Hey, Gloria, you OK?

I just wanna get out.

That's why I'm here.

Anything you need,
