- What?

- Tell me about your kids.

[chuckles] My kids?

What do you wanna know?

What are they like?

They're loud. They're wild.

They're annoying. They're loud.

[chuckles]

Yeah.

What about you, huh?

What about your kid?

- He's quiet.

- Yeah.

- And sloppy.

- [chuckles] Yeah.

He's a good kid.

Anthony.

[speaking Spanish]

Hey, let me ask you a question.

What'd you really

think about Joey?

He was there for me

when my wife died.

Yeah. OK.

Elisa...

[speaking Spanish]

Isabel.

Isa...

[sobbing]

You OK, Mami?

[speaking Spanish]

OK...

[speaking Spanish]

No.

No.

[indistinct chatter]

[speaking Spanish]

[retching]

[speaking Spanish]

[crickets chirping]

[Scotty] Janine.

[Janine]

Keep your eyes closed!

OK.

[Janine] Are they closed?

Yeah.

OK.

Happy Birthday.

[chuckles]

You remembered.

Of course I remembered.

Now you gotta make a wish.

Come on.

It's good.

- Janine...

- You gotta relax.

The kids won't be

back till tomorrow.

You swore at me

'cause I was mean to you.

- But I lied.

- Yeah.

When I said that you didn't

have no f***ing friends.

I'm your friend.

And I care about you.

Hmm?

- We can't.

- We can't what?

I can't.

What?

Janine...

Janine...

Janine, what?

Shh...

It's OK.

It's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

Janine...

If you want to leave,

you can leave.

But it ain't

no good being alone.

[Isabel] Hey...

[speaking Spanish]

We need some good news.

[speaking Spanish]

[all talking over each other]

Gloria...

Gloria...

[Gloria] She needs to leave

this house right now.

Let her parents

take care of her.

- I don't want her here!

- [Eva] I'll tell her to leave.

Manuel...

[speaking Spanish]

You think I don't feel guilty?

I don't know.

Of course I do.

But you should feel way worse!

[both laughing]

Come on.

Don't be a little p*ssy.

We didn't do nothing wrong.

Your wife is dead,

my husband's dead.

We're just human.

I know.

Besides,

Joey wasn't no choir boy.

Yeah, I know.

I know he took money from

dealers. Everybody knew that.

Yeah.

He did more than that.

Remember that... A few years

ago, that Dominican kid?

Yeah, of course.

What about it?

He did do it, Scotty.

One day he just broke down,

and he told me everything.

But the kid was a real

troublemaker, you know?

He was dealing drugs and sh*t.

Joey said he was just trying

to mess with him, you know?

But I don't want my Joey's name

tarnished with this sh*t, OK?

I mean, we got kids!

I mean, you owe him that much.

[dialing on phone]

[ringing]

[Anthony] Hello?

Hey, buddy, it's me.

How's it going?

Hi, Dad, I'm sleeping.

I know. I know, OK.

Go back to sleep.

Dad, did you get my card?

I did.

It's the best card ever.

You really liked it?

I loved it.

Uh...

I'm coming down to visit soon.

When?

Soon.

I just gotta finish a case here,

and then I'm coming down.

- Anthony?

- [yawns]

Anthony, OK, go back to sleep.

- Oh, Dad...

- Yeah.

Did you have a nice birthday?

Yeah, it was good.

The, uh...

The guys, um... they had

a little cake, you know,

and a little something for me

down at the station.

It was...

It was real nice.

OK, um... go back to sleep, huh.

- I love you.

- Good night, Dad.

- I love you, too.

- OK, good night.

Good night, pal.

[yells]

[yells]

[horn honking]

Olga, Olga...

[speaking Spanish]

Mm-hmm.

Olga...

Amen.

Amen.

Playboy, how much

they pay you up in here?

[Jos] Why, you need a job?

Nah, man,

I'm just curious, man.

Ah, let me see.

How about some... pig butt?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Pork butt.

Yeah.

Let me get the biggest piece

you got, man.

Yeah.

And trim

all that fat off, homie.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know I like my butt

to be firm, feel me?

You know, for some reason

I just feel like

you one of them brothers

that's been violated before,

you know?

Like I don't know what it is,

but I just get

that vibe, you know.

That type of energy

from you, man.

Have you ever been sodomized

or anything like that before?

Now I'm just saying, no, no, no,

hear me out, hear me out,

because if you have...

...it wasn't your fault.

Because you see,

if you decided to kill the

nigga that did it to you.

I don't think anybody would

hold that against you, homie.

So you obviously know more

about me than I know about you.

- I tell you what.

- What's up?

- This is what I need you to do.

- What you need me to do?

I need you to go to the police

and tell them

what happened between you

and that little f*ggot cop,

Cullen.

Because you see right now

they thinking that I'm

the one that killed him.

And you and me both know

that that ain't what happened.

If you came here to kill me,

right?

You better make sure

you do a good job, homie.

And that's the only thing

I'ma tell you.

You know,

under different circumstances

you could've been

one of my top employees.

Thank you, come again.

[speaking Spanish]

Mm...

[up-beat music plays]

[speaking Spanish]

[music fades]

[distorted voice] Isabel, I need

to talk to Manuel De La Cruz.

Do you know

where I can find him?

[man] Half-a-pound of that now?

She's crazy out here.

Nah, we got to get at her.

[speaking Spanish]

Isabella Rossellini.

A little vacation,

you know, to clear his head.

[speaking Spanish]

- Dibronski.

- [Ramirez] He's downtown.

Oh, perfect.

Hey, talk to me.

Well, let's see...

He's dead.

He's dead.

She's dead.

Mr. De La Cruz

is nowhere to be found.

And she saw something.

She was there.

But what am I gonna do?

Bring her in?

She'll be dead in a week.

No one's saying a thing.

And suddenly nobody

speaks English either.

Well, your Spanish is

half-way decent, isn't it?

My Spanish f***ing sucks,

but that's not the problem.

It's just nobody's talking.

Nobody's saying a f***ing thing.

And I don't f***ing blame them.

But somebody knows something.

She knows what happened.

But what am I gonna do?

Haul her in? Get her killed?

Sh*t!

[siren blaring]

Are you a known felon?

[chuckles]

Because Mr. Jonathan Jones here

cannot associate

with any known felons.

So this is their new plan?

To just sit there

and harass me to death?

What can you do?

They think you killed a cop.

[children playing]

[man straining]

OK.

Oh...

[man] I know you.

I remember you!

I remember you!

Elisa!

[horn honking]

[speaking Spanish]

Huh?

Huh?

[children playing]

[laughing]

[speaking Spanish]

[gasps]

[water running]

[speaking Spanish]

[Janine]

We're going to show Uncle Scotty

how pretty your hair can be.

Her.

Who is this?

[Scott] A girl.

I can see that.

Joey had some photos of her

on his camera.

She's related to the

Dominican kid that he had that--

Shh.

Hey, sweetheart,

you want to go upstairs?

You can go watch some cartoons,

OK?

They love TV.

Was Joey messing round

with this b*tch?

I don't know.

Yeah, so what's your point?

I mean, what's this

got to do with anything?

I don't know, I just wanted to

know if he mentioned anything,

or if you ever saw her
