heading east on foot!

Request backup immediately!

Ready! Aim! Fire!

Ready! Aim! Fire!

Ready! Aim! Fire!

Jackie.

Never should have came home.

Never should have came.

l miss him too.

We won't be able to bring him back,

but we're gonna send him

some company.

You can't go to war with Victor Sweet.

Not straight up.

He'll just hire more and more

goons until we are all dead.

l don't know.

l don't know what to do anymore.

l already lost one brother.

You guys are all l got.

- l got an idea.

- What?

We'll take the rest of the money

from Mom's insurance,

pay Sweet to call off the dogs.

- He'll deal. He's a businessman.

- lt doesn't count as a plan

if it takes you longer to say it

than it does to think it up.

Yeah, Jerry.

Sweet will meet up with you,

take your money.

Won't be able to find your body

till the river thaws.

lf you can get that far.

Jesus, Jeremiah,

what you doing here?

l'm here to do a little

collective bargaining.

What, with Sweet?

Did you not get the message?

He wants blood.

- That's not negotiable.

- Look, they told us

we'd never get $30 an hour on the job

either, right? But what we get?

So don't tell me this is not possible.

Come on, man.

So, what you bringing to the table?

Four hundred thousand dollars.

Yo.

- Evan called Sweet. He's going for it.

- So when's the meet?

- Four o'clock.

- Today?

- Yeah.

- That's in three hours.

Well, we ain't got no choice!

Sweet's supposed to roll up on us

any minute now.

What? What else?

Well, Evan, we cool.

And he let me in on a little something.

lf Fowler's there, he don't

think he's gonna go for it.

- So there's no plan!

- Yes, there is, Bobby.

We need to take Fowler out

before the meet.

We can't kill a cop

even if he is dirty.

He handed Ma to Sweet, okay?

He ain't walking away from this.

Make sure the hole's cut

when we get there.

Hey, come here.

- All right. l love you.

- Now, don't get shot.

- Don't shoot anyone either.

- Relax.

Unless you have to.

Come on, now.

You know l love you, don't you?

Y'all be good now.

And take care of Mommy, all right?

Be careful.

l will.

Bobby.

Look, l know l don't

know you that well,

but don't you let him get hurt.

You bring him back to me.

l will, Camille.

lt's gonna be okay.

Hey, kid!

What you doing,

playing out here in the snow?

l'm just working on my swing

for the spring.

Hey, man, l need a big favor.

l'll give you $20

and this whole box of Baby Ruths.

You see that house over there?

Not till we hear from Angel.

- What do you want?

- l'm selling candy to raise money

for my baseball team. We wanna

buy new uniforms and equip--

Thanks. Now get the hell out of here.

Thanks. Now get the hell out of here.

This is a big problem.

A big problem for you.

Even a completely calm person

will suffocate

in four minutes without oxygen.

And you're not exactly calm,

are you?

- Jerry!

- F***!

We ain't going nowhere

without the call,

- so just calm down.

- What the f*** you--?

- Jerry!

- Just keep stalling him.

Hold-- l'm grabbing my scarf, man.

l'll be there in a minute! Hold on.

- Angel?

- Hey, I got him.

- ls he out of the way?

- What, you wanna ask him?

- Let me hear his voice.

- Hold on, let me put him on. Hold on.

Hey, man, say hi to my brother.

- We got you now, b*tch.

- l'm coming.

Go.

Jerry, what the hell? You in there?

- That's our money?

- Yeah.

- Hey, man, hey!

- Relax, relax.

- Hey, what is this, man? What is this?

- Relax, relax. Just relax.

We just gotta check it out, make

sure you ain't strapped. Relax, relax.

- He's good.

- Okay.

Let's take a ride, Jerry.

Yeah, yeah, l got it.

Well, he's onboard, boss.

Yeah, all right.

What did he say?

He say, ''Hurry the f*** up.''

Then he hung up.

You'll never get the belt. Trust me.

People never think to go for the bag.

lt's always the belt first

for some reason.

The bag has to be clear, though.

Black doesn't work.

Get up.

Get over there right now.

- He's gonna end up dead.

- Ma'am, ma'am, slow it down a gear.

And this isn't even his fight.

lt's his stupid brother's fault!

l understand. l can help you.

But you're gonna have to let

me know who it is we're talking about

- and what's about to happen.

- My boyfriend.

He was talking about killing a cop.

You hear that?

You know what that is?

That's a damn beautiful sound.

Those are my boys coming.

So, what do we do now?

We get out.

Jesus Christ! What is that?

Wha--? What's that?

lt's ice fishing.

Tommy there is part Eskimo.

No.

lt's not looking good

for you, homeboy.

We'll see if they're still your boys

after they find out

you killed your partner Green,

homeboy.

That's your angle, huh?

You gonna walk out there

and tell them l killed Green.

That's your story?

- lt has the advantage of being true.

- So what?

l killed my partner.

l could kill the whole

damn police department

if you were the only witness.

They'd probably just

promote me to chief.

You're one of

the Mercer brothers, brother.

No cop in the world's gonna

believe your word over mine. Sorry.

You know what?

You're probably right.

Other than the ones

l got outside right now in the van

listening to every bit

of our conversation...

...brother.

You're lying.

Afraid not.

Take a look.

l want eyes on the house!

Okay, lieutenant, l'm bringing

him out now.

Come on, man. lt's all over.

l'm gonna pop your head

like a champagne cork.

You hear me?

l'm taking your clown down with me!

Fool showed up.

And they say there's no such thing

as a free lunch.

All right.

Let's sink this dumb-ass

and get out of here.

l got a candlelit date lined up with

a hot piece of Puerto Rican p*ssy.

Jeremiah Mercer. Businessman.

Give me that.

Goddamn it, l like the way

you do business!

You're a reasonable man.

You should have let me in

on your project.

We could have been partners.

Could have been a sweet deal

for both of us.

Now it just a sweet deal for me.

Come on, man.

We gonna do business, or what?

Right.

Right. Right.

Down to business.

What were the...?

What were the terms again?

You give me 400 grand,

and l pardon you and your brothers,

is that right? Forgive and forget, right?

That's right.

My brothers said l was naive.

That you would shoot me

and just take the money. Yeah.

- Damn, man, you hurt my feelings.

- Good.

Because you don't know sh*t

about hurt feelings.

l just buried my mama

and my brother.

And l think that's

payment enough, Vic.

You been doing a lot

of thinking, boy.

Yeah, my mama raised me

to be a thinking man.

So me and my brothers, we came up

with a whole new proposal.

- A whole new proposal. ls that right?

- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

You gonna like it too. Because it is a--

A sweet deal.

Check it out. lnstead of giving you

the 400 grand, we decided

we'd give it to these mistreated

workers you got standing behind you.

Pistol.

- Evan, l said pistol!

- No, b*tch.

The one thing you forgot
