Illegal Tender Page #5

Right?

What do you need from us?

I don't need

anything from you.

She has something

that belongs to me.

For 20 years?

Yes.

What is it?

What is it?

What do you think it is?

Money.

Money.

My mother doesn't

have any money.

Oh, she has money.

My money.

Didn't I say that?

Maybe you could

work something out.

You think you can work out

two million dollars?

Two million dollars?

She doesn't have

two million dollars.

Trust me.

You sound just

like your father.

You're intelligent.

I can hear it in your voice.

Stupid people, they can quote

Socrates anytime they want.

It wouldn't matter.

They still sound stupid.

Listen to me.

I came here

man to man

so me and you can work

this thing out together.

I want you to leave

my mother out of this.

You wanna negotiate with me.

Not a good idea.

I want you to go back

and speak with your mother.

Better yet.

Let her do the talking.

One look at you,

she'll know

where you've been.

WILSON. Hello?

Hey.

It's me.

Why haven't you called?

I've called you like,

Don't talk so fast.

What's wrong?

I'm all right, I...

What happened, Wilson?

I don't know how

I got back to my hotel

last night,

but I'm all right.

What do you mean?

What happened, babe?

When are you coming home?

Hmm, that's a good one.

Looks like it hurts.

All right, let's see

if you can handle this.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

It hurts, right? Okay.

So what did I tell you

about riding your bike

without a helmet?

Odds go up 50% of

me getting hurt?

That's right.

No more bike riding for you.

Never again

in my life? Ever?

Just relax.

Just until you heal up 100%.

Can I have a sandwich?

What kind?

Peanut butter and jelly.

No, we're out of

peanut butter and jelly.

What about a mud, lettuce

and tomato sandwich?

Just joking.

You're a bad Mom.

I know.

Come on.

Go upstairs, clean up

and I'll make

you that sandwich.

Gotcha, Mom.

''Thank you, Mom! ''

You're welcome!

Wil!

Yeah!

What's up, man?

What's up?

Look at your face.

It looks just like mine.

Yeah, what happened to yours?

My bike fell.

And you were on it, right?

Mmm-hmm.

What happened to yours?

I fell on somebody's fist.

Must have been a big fist.

Yeah, it was.

Me and Mommy gotta talk.

Okay.

So you go upstairs,

you lock the door,

I'll be up there soon.

Gotcha.

All right, come on.

MILLIE:
Hey, look who's back.

Glad you're back.

You know, Ana called

like three times

and you know something,

she sounded really...

What happened to you?

Nothing, I got into a fight.

Where?

Doesn't matter, Ma.

Please sit down so...

No, no, I don't wanna sit.

Just tell me what happened.

Let me take

a look at that.

Ma, stop.

Looks bad.

Stop, stop.

I just wanna talk.

Okay.

We'll talk.

I'll listen and

I'll make a sandwich

for Randy, okay?

How you been putting me

through college, Mom?

You're getting

yourself through

college, Son.

You're really bright.

Mom, please,

it's important.

All right,

so what are you saying?

How did I pay

for your education?

Does it matter to you?

Yeah, it does.

Why?

Because maybe that's

the reason why this is

all happening.

You know, I never questioned

why we lived so well.

Because it's all I knew.

Buy another house.

No problems,

no questions asked.

You know, come to

think of it, Mom,

I can't recall the last time

you even had a job.

Or at least one that

didn't keep you away

from me and Randy too long.

How'd you do it?

I wanna show you something.

Have a seat.

You'll learn something.

Ay, nene, your becoming

a man is getting real tiring.

Okay, so...

Okay, this is it.

What?

What is this?

It's the investments

we own and,

yeah, some stocks

I bought in the '80s,

all of which put us

in a position

never to have to

worry about money.

Is this Microsoft stock?

Yes, I was so stupid.

I should have bought more.

Wow.

You had some

serious investments.

Yeah, I made

some smart choices.

Okay, so, I did my part.

How'd you get your bruises?

I went to Puerto Rico

and I met with

Javier Cordero.

What did you do?

He told me you took

two million dollars.

What did you do?

Mom.

What?

Mom, what's wrong?

Mom. Mom, what's wrong?

I'm gonna kick your butt.

Randy! Put on your jacket

and meet me downstairs.

I mean it. Hurry up!

Mom. What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You got your gun?

No.

All right, take this.

Why you giving me this?

Because it's not

about the f***ing two

million dollars!

What are you

talking about?

Why do you think

they let you live?

He's in PR, Mom.

I'm ready.

He said something

about a message.

Sweet Jesus.

Randy!

Wilson!

Go on.

Mommy.

It's gonna be

all right, baby.

Stay in here!

They're gonna hurt Wil.

No, I won't let that happen.

Just keep your head down.

RANDY:
Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy, where's Wil?

Randy, stay in there!

Mom! Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Randy?

Oh God!

Oh no! Oh, please!

Oh God! No! No!

Mommy.

RANDY:
Mommy,

where you going?

Stay right here.

Oh f***.

Okay, okay.

Mom!

Get in the house!

You want me, motherfuckers?

Come on!

Come on!

Mom, you're wide open.

Come on, let's go,

come on!

Come on, Mom!

MILLIE:

Go get Randy, go get Randy

and go down to the basement!

WILSON:
Mom...

Do what I tell you!

Just do what I tell you.

Just back away

from the door.

Are you hurt?

No.

Okay.

I want this to end.

Wilson, I want this to end.

Oh, God,

I want this to end, Wilson!

Mom.

Oh, God, are you hurt?

No, I'm okay.

Mom. Mom, I'm okay.

I'm just, I'm just so tired.

I just...

You're my heart.

Baby, come here.

Randy!

Oh, baby. Are you okay?

I'm okay, Mommy.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I should have

known you were right.

You understand,

do you understand

that I would do

anything for you?

I would do anything for you!

I would do...

I would do

anything for you, Son.

Mommy.

It's okay.

You're all right, okay?

It's gonna be okay.

You're my heart.

My sons. Oh, God.

My sons.

Okay, Miss DeLeon,

tell me from the top.

From the beginning.

There was two men.

They came into the house.

Miss DeLeon?

If it's not about the money,

then why?

Because it's never about why

with those kinds of people.

It's about what's theirs.

And about what's yours

that's theirs.

I don't understand, Mom.

I said that it wasn't

about the two million

because it isn't.

At least, not money

that belongs to him.

So the money does exist.

My husband.

Your father never

skimmed money or stole

from Javier Cordero.

Ever dime

that he worked for

he earned.

Work, Mom?

Okay, what's that

all about, Son?

He was a drug dealer.

He was a criminal.

He was a good person

who made bad choices.

But if judging

your Dad is something

you need to do

right now, Son,

I'm gonna let you do it.

But you still have so much

to learn about life.

Understand this.

You wouldn't have

had the good life

that you've had up until now,

if it wasn't for him.
