that building up there.

Let's go get some help.

Come on.

[Panting]

Come on!

Come on, Ray!

[Ripping]

[Ray]

Damn, I tore my jacket!

Come on!

I'd be worryin' about my ass,

not my jacket!

Yeah, well, my ass

doesn't cost 450 bucks!

##[Rap, Indistinct]

##[Continues]

If anything happens, don't

think, just run. Okay?

Gotta find someone who'll

let us use their phone.

You really think one of

these freaks is gonna

let us use their phone?

"These freaks"

are our neighbors, Ray.

They're not

my neighbors, man.

Oh, yeah?

I bet we haven't been more

than ten miles from your

front door this whole night.

[Creaking]

What's up with that noise?

[Creaking Continues]

- I should go talk to him.

- No, no, no.

I got a better idea.

Mike!

[Rattling Door]

There's a way in

over there.

Hi, sir.

I need to use your phone.

No! No, no!

No way!

Just one phone call!

Thanks a lot!

[Man Yelling, Indistinct]

Mike, take it easy, man.

You too, buddy!

Hello, anybody home?

[Man] Who the f***

does he think he is?

What's wrong

with these people?

They're just like you.

How is that?

They're scared.

They won't even

talk to us.

[Knocking]

Hi.

May we use your phone?

Hey, hey!

Get behind the door!

Nobody's gonna help us.

Nobody.

Welcome to

the real world, Ray.

This is it!

If you say that to me again,

I'm gonna kill you, I swear I will.

##[Rap, Indistinct]

[Knocking]

Hello. Hello?

Anybody in there?

Please open the door

if you're there. Hello.

[Knocking]

Come on, please!

Wait, wait, wait.

Don't wanna scare her off.

Excuse me.

[Woman]

Yeah? What do you want?

I need to use a phone.

Just hold it right there.

Now keep back.

Keep back!

Please, just listen...

'Cause I'll bust all

your goddamned heads,

and don't think I won't!

Clarissa, you all right?

Get out of here, Rita!

Just give us a chance...

The only chance

you're gonna get...

is to get your

motherfuckin' asses in gear

before I start swingin'!

- I told you these people

didn't want to help us.

- Look!

We saw a boy murdered tonight.

The men that shot him did it in

cold blood, and if they catch us...

- they're gonna kill us too.

- So they're following you?

- No, no, we lost them.

- [Mike] You gotta believe us.

We're telling the truth.

We just

wanna use your phone

to call the police.

That's it. We're not

gonna cause you any trouble.

Please.

Sykes, this is bullshit.

We lost 'em, man!

We're just wastin' our time.

You know something?

You are really beginning

to piss me off!

Where he goes, we go.

Now shut the f*** up!

[Kid] Yo!

##[Rap, Indistinct]

Yo! Hey, what's up?

Yo, man, these the punks

you saw, man?

No, they ain't the ones.

You punks crazy

or somethin', man?

Chill out, man.

- Were just lookin' for some citizens.

- He lookin' for some citizens.

You ain't gonna find nobody

down here like that, man.

This is our block.

If you got any brains...

you'll break now

and don't look back.

- We got business, that's all.

- Oh, you got some business, man?

Yeah.

What kind

of business you got?

Wait a minute, right?

I've had about enough

of this bullshit.

I'm gonna ventilate

your little cranium.

What about that, huh?

[Sykes] Now back off!

[Boy] Hey, man, you'd

better get your boy, Jack!

- [Fallon] All right.

- I got some too, man.

Just, uh, a little bit

too much meat today.

That's all, man.

Come on, man. If you don't like what

I have to say, f*** me. Come on.

##[Rap Continues]

What you smilin' at?

I understand, man.

I respect ya.

You're taking care

of your block. That's great.

But these motherfuckers ripped me off.

That can't happen.

Know what I mean?

You know.

I don't know.

If I f*** with you now, you look

like sh*t in front of your boys.

How much is this gonna cost?

Man, if I want your money,

I'll take it.

No, you can't take my money...

but you can... take my money.

- Go ahead.

- Money got blood on it, man.

You ever seen any

that didn't?

Now, go ask Webster

over there...

- which building those people

went into, okay?

- All right.

I don't believe this.

Ray, you're wearin' a hole

in the carpet, bro.

Cops should've

been here by now,:

It's been 17 minutes.

Down here people die of old age

waiting for the cops.

No goddamn way.

This is bullshit.

Watch this.

I'll get their asses over here

in one goddamn second.

What's wrong, Ray?

The phone's dead.

What do you mean,

it's dead?

Give me.

It must be them.

They're here!

Maybe you didn't

pay your phone bill.

- Oh, yeah, right!

- Hey, shut up, Ray!

"Francis...

"Howard...

Wyatt."

Used to have a girlfriend

named Frances.

She had blue eyes

just like you.

- How does he know my name?

- Frank, beautiful baby!

Wow! Lucky for you she looks

just like your wife, huh?

What's your wife, Italian?

I always wanted to f***

an Italian girl, Frank.

I tell you what, Frankie... Francis.

Since you won't meet me man-to-man...

I'm gonna take my case

to the people, all right?

The people

of the housing projects!

I got a headline for ya.

This just in:

Get the f*** outta my house.

I hate this f***in' place.

I wanna go home.

Go on.

[Baby]

Mommy!

I wanna drink, smoke...

and play my loud music.

Honey, come here.

- So this misguided individual...

- Get the hell out of my house!

Is starting to piss me off!

Here's the deal:

[Baby Crying]

Give him up now

and this will not be

the worst night of your life!

There's nothin'

on three floors.

We got two more to go.

We gotta take a break.

I told you

you should've quit smoking.

It's okay. Everything's

gonna be all right.

[Crying Continues]

- We can't stay here.

- If we go out there,

they're gonna kill us.

- [Crashing]

- These people put their lives

on the line for us!

- [Mike] Frank's right.

- Yeah, go!

[Sykes]

Open the f***ing door!

Let's do it.

[Woman Screaming]

No way!

I'm not going out there!

- Don't open it! Okay.

- Oh, my God!

- Jesus, Ray.

- I'm not goin' anywhere.

- [Frank] You son-of-a-b*tch.

- You had that thing the whole time?

- Why the hell didn't you

use it when we needed it?

- Shh! I'm using it now!

On us.

Yeah.

- Whichever one thinks you're

gonna get me through that door.

- What are you doing?

You're scarin' the kid.

The cops'll be here

any second.

Let's wait

till they get here.

Open it up!

- The cops are not coming!

- Yes, they are.

Stay right back, okay?

I am not gonna die down here.

- [Gunshot, Yelling]

- These people weren't involved,

and they helped us.

If those bastards find us here,

they're gonna kill everybody.

Is that what you want?

[Knocking]

You gotta trust me, man.

You don't want this deal.

[Clarissa Crying]

Come on, Razor.

Give me the gun!

- [Gasping]

- [Crying]

[Mike]

Okay, let's get outta here.

Go to the roof; the kids

have a way of getting across

to the next building.

It's the only chance

you have.

Thanks a lot.

[Door Knob Turning,

Hinges Creaking]

[Sykes] Hey!

[Woman] I have a baby!

Please leave us alone!
