---

you killed Dembo

so you could take the diamonds.

Sh*t, since your people blasted

it all over the f***ing news,

I bet they do think

I killed Dembo.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, well, I can't blame them.

If you didn't shoot him,

who did?

Who else was there?

Who?

Buckmire?

Look, I saw it.

A ten-year veteran

with commendations is

gonna kill a suspect

for no reason?

Yeah, you're

so f***ing naive...

Why??

Because it's his job.

It's gang sh*t.

Oh, now Buckmire's in a gang?

You're in a gang!

I told you before

- Cops, crews,

it's the same f***in' thing.

Yeah, I think that's

a slight exaggeration.

No, it is not an exaggeration.

That is real talk.

And you're gonna be

pretty f***ing useless

as a cop until you

figure that out.

How long you been doing

this job? Huh?

A year? Two years?

Let me ask you a question:

Buckmire work basketball games?

Does he work nights?

If Buckmire shot Dembo

he must have had

I guess you're gonna have

to ask Buckmire then.

Here...

You have one minute.

F***...

Oh, yeah...

Slowly!

Bingo.

Great...

Now, how does that help us?

I'll show you.

Be careful, Babylon.

You want this back

with the fingers, yes?

Give it to me.

Now.

You give me the man,

and I give you the hand.

F*** you.

Tase this c*nt.

I want my hand first.

What?!

The f*** are you doing?

Hey! You can't

just hand me over.

I'm under arrest.

Oh, you want to go

by the book now??

I'm getting you out of here.

Toss me the hand.

Look, if I throw this to you

I got nuttin'.

Now, you send

that boy there first.

You're smarter than you look.

Ya damn right.

Go...

F***in' hell...

You watch yourself, Grimes,

this one hates "Jammies."

Don't you, Constable?

She's gonna taser your ass

first chance she gets...

Ugh!

No, no, no!!!

- Fuuuuck!

- Stay there...

Put it down.

So you can catch.

Yeah, and so I won't shoot you.

Right.

You got it all

figured out, don't you?

I ain't got it all

figured out, Babylon.

I stay calm,

and I'm not stupid.

Throw it to me.

Ugh!

Ahhhhh!

Sh*t...

Get up!

My f***in' hand!

Cry me a river!

Handcuff him

to the chair...

Ugh...

I'm going to leave

you alone again.

And you'll be here

when I get back.

So, this is what we need

to get through...

Give me

your knife...

No.

What's your first name?

Frances.

Okay, Frances, you stupid f***,

if I stab you,

I'm killing myself.

Now, we got two good

hands between us

and we need both of those hands

to open this padlock.

We're partners.

Get it?

Tell me what to do, I'll do it.

Which will take ten minutes

when I can do it in one.

Come on, Frances,

the whistle's blown.

We're off the clock.

Let's get out of here

and grab a beer, huh?

Alright, turn it on its side.

Alright,

stand it up...

Lay it flat.

Good, just hold it there.

Sorry I called you

a stupid f***.

Just keep working.

Beautiful.

Great...

Give me the knife.

Relax.

Now, hold the padlock.

Okay...

I feel like a thief.

Yeah, see we're

not so different.

How long you been married?

Um...

Three years.

Must be happy

to have your ring back.

Yeah.

Sure.

Oh, yeah, you sound ecstatic.

Well, I have other things

on my mind right now!

Yeah...

Where'd you go

on your last vacation?

Um...

We went to, um...

Gotcha.

What?!

Squares, man,

they're always talkin'

about my husband this,

my husband that.

You haven't

brought him up once.

I used to be married.

So, who was that on the phone?

Your mother?

I thought so.

You're good, though,

you had me going for a while.

I don't even like diamonds.

Ah... They're just

a rock with a name.

Yep.

So why do you bother

with the ring then?

Guys at work leave me alone.

I knew it, you don't

even like cops.

No you don't.

You don't like cops,

you don't agree with the laws.

Who the hell are you

doing this for?

And you call me a liar.

Pull...

One more.

No, I'm sorry!

No! No!

Please, please!

Please, please

don't hurt me, please!

Shhhh...

Calm down.

What happened?

I found him.

Cordero.

I almost had him...

He was just about

to tell me where

the diamonds are,

then that cop came.

I barely got away...

From the half-dead

lady cop with one hand?

She had a taser!

So you decide

to hide in the closet?

I just want

to go home...

Please?

I don't want my

share anymore, ok?

You can keep it.

We're almost done here.

Grimes probably has him by now.

We'll be out of here

in fifteen minutes.

Okay?

Just hang in there.

No, no, I just...

I just want to go home.

You'll never hear

from me again.

Fine.

But not until we're done here.

I did everything

that you asked me to.

Alright.

You go watch the doctor.

I'll be there

in fifteen minutes

and we can get out of here.

Okay...

Thank you.

Where are they now?

I don't know.

I, I saw them...

I saw them...

He was trying

to open some elevators.

Near a bunch of gurneys.

Okay.

Good.

Let's go.

- Keyes...

- Yeah?

This happened to Cordero

because he turned on us.

I wasn't gonna

hurt you, you know.

With the toilet paper tube.

Right.

Unless you had to.

I was just after

the torsion springs,

so I could pick the lock

on the handcuffs.

The tube was just

a distraction.

Yeah, well it worked.

I'm really not that bad a guy.

So what happens?

You get it open and then what?

We climb down

to the next floor?

Yeah, you can open

the door from the inside.

How do you know that?

I saw it on TV.

How are you gonna climb down?

How am I gonna climb down?

Very carefully.

You go first.

I'll follow.

The first phone or security

guard we see, this ends.

Or, I have an idea.

You go first, I'll follow you.

And once we're out,

you just don't look back.

I can't.

We had a deal, Frances.

Look, I am sorry...

F***!

Come on, let's go!

You knew that

I couldn't do that!

I'm the only thing

standing between you

and getting killed right now.

And you're still playin'

this f***ing cop bullshit!

Get that lock open.

Now.

Why, so I can go back

to jail sooner?

It is Holland or jail.

You pick.

Yeah?

What about you? Huh?

What are you gonna do?

Be a desk clerk?

You can't be a real cop

with one hand, Frances!

Look, you know

I didn't kill anybody.

You don't give a f***

about diamonds.

I'm the only one trying

to help you!

Trying to get you outta here!

We have more in

common than you do

with the cops you

work with, so f*** them!

What about me?

Open the door!

Fine.

Ow...

F***!

Pull...

Now what?

You first.

I hope you die of cancer.

No...!

No, no, no, no, no!

F***!

You get that upset about a cop?

Imagine I killed a human being.

Like Danny.

You were upset when

he got killed, right?

Yeah, Louis,

of course I was...

No. You only care

about one person.

I'll tell you where

the diamonds are...

I don't care where they are.

Well, that's not true.

But first, I want to hear

what happened to Danny.

It was the cop.

The one who busted us...

He shot Danny.

Danny didn't get a shot off?

No, Danny gave up his gun.

He surrendered.
