Yeah. He didn't know what number

he was gonna have, so-

He's told me so much about you.

I hope while I'm down here

I get a chance to meet you.

That's sweet. Let me get

that number for you, honey.

You know Jack's staying in South Beach?

He has a new condo. The number is-

Don't worry.

I don't need the telephone number.

Just give me the address.

I'm 20 minutes late.

I was supposed to meet him

20 minutes ago.

At this point, I didn't know what was

more important to me-

Getting my money back

or getting even.

- You know what I'm here for?.

- Yeah, man.

You know I'm retired.

Why you got to come to me with that?.

You know if I had a choice,

I'd never get you involved.

Take the gum

out your mouth.

Take the gum

out your mouth.

Put it under the table.

All right, man.

- You okay?.

- Yeah, definitely. Here.

Start the game, man.

Yeah. Yeah!

Well, sure.

All righty. Listen,

I gotta get going.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

I'll talk to you soon.

All righty. Bye.

It's such a shame we have to leave

like this. I love it here.

You better be taking me

someplace warm.

- Oh, yeah.

- You know how much I love the sun.

Check this out.

- Put that away. You know I hate guns.

- Watch, watch.

Put it away.

Very good-

Don't point that!

- I'm putting it right here.

- Thank you.

- I'm done!

- Finally.

- I'm gonna call the limo.

- Okay.

Oh, f***!

Oh, f***.

F***!

What's the matter, Jack?.

- You got nothing to say now?.

- I don't know what to say.

- You're so quick, man.

- I don't know what to f***ing say!

You're not happy to see me, baby?.

Trish, move away from the bed.

- Just put the gun down.

- Move away from the f***in' bed.

- Put your hands up and don't move.

- Put the gun down!

Shut up!

Shut up for one second!

Move away from the bed

and put your hands up.

Just put the gun down.

I know your type, man. I grew up with

you motherfucking get-over artists.

You're a f***ing liar, man.

You been lying your whole f***ing life.

You know what you are?. You're f***ing

scum. You think that's your girlfriend?.

That gap, that gash?.

She's a f***ing cavity, motherf***er.

You ain't got nobody. I had friends.

I had a f***in' woman, man.

You got no kind of life.

You know what your mistake is, baby?.

You think you're too smart.

- Just put the gun down.

- Shut the f*** up!

You could've walked away

with $1 million...

but you f***ed up,

'cause you pushed me too far.

- I know I f***ed up.

- You put me in the hole.

I got nothing to f***ing lose,

understand?.

Think about Carmen-

Never f***in' say Carmen's name,

you f***ing whore!

Just listen to me.

It's gonna be worked out, you know?.

- Put the f***ing gun down!

- Shut the f*** up!

- Trish, where's the money?.

- In that f***ing bag right there.

F***!

- Thank you, Trish.

- Idiot.

- How much is in there?.

- Listen to me.

$120,000. You need me!

You know you need me!

Jack, if thats your name-

What is your name?.

- I'm not telling you my name.

- Why shouldn't I kill you then?.

You want the money?.

The $4 million?. You need me!

I don't need you, you f***.

You pushed me into the hole.

Be calm for one second.

You know you need me

to get that $4 million.

If you want to be smart, you don't want

to be some f***ing stupid spick-

Don't ever call me a spick,

you piece of white f***ing trash!

Goddamn you!

Where's the money, Jack?.

Jack, come on.

Where's the money?.

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Tell me where the money is.

I don't want to have to kill you.

Ghetto piece of sh*t!

I took Carmen and her mother

back to Puerto Rico...

and with the money we opened

a small bar in the south of the island.

It's quiet most

of the time, but we get by.

How's everything going?.

Good?. Enjoying yourself?.

You have any complaints,

let me know. All right?.

It's time. Yeah.

We're at the hospital.

Okay. All right.

Tell Carmen to hold on.

I'll be right there.

Yeah, yeah. How is she?.

She's doing all right?.

Damn. Damn! It's coming.

My boy's coming, man.

Drinks on the house,

and close early!

It's kind of funny

when you think about it.

I mean, I did

some pretty bad things in my life.

Broke all the rules,

hurt a lot of people. But here I was.

My kid's life was about to begin,

and I had another chance.

Damn! Like I said before,

had I known what I know now.

I guess it was naive of me to think

I could actually get away with it.

Escape my past.

Yeah, but that's not

how it works...

'cause you know a man's actions

always have their consequences.

And deep down, I knew that.

Maybe what it's all about...

is thinking about someone else

instead of your self all the time.

Maybe that's what I was always missing.

If I can leave something for my son,

maybe my life was worthwhile.

He's so beautiful.

I think I'm in love again.

He looks just like Victor.
