Nothing to eat,
nothing to steal...
He took a hollow point forty-four
right straight to the chest.
And that... that doesn't
exactly sound like a...
case of mistaken identity.
Paul, can I talk to
you for a second?
Look, if you...
you need to give me something.
If you want me to help you,
we, we can't play this
little game of riddles,
okay? Um,
what was he making
with the Borax?
Borax?
Money!
He was trying to
make money to eat.
Okay, well that, good!
I can understand that.
He was trying to turn a profit.
So, I'm gonna
need to know, uh,
the source, and I'll need to
know the buyers...
When the old factory shut down
I was able to borrow a truck.
And I loaded it with
many boxes of Borax.
Remind you,
I did not have permission...
Go on!
And Hassan, uh,
...he, uh, he found a company in
Los Angeles to, to keep it.
And, and he would
try to sell it
and, and, uh...
to other businesses and the
company would get some free boxes.
Free boxes to do what?
Oh, um, to clean their carpets.
They, uh, they imported these,
uh, carpets.
So, uh...
how was he...
what, what was he, uh,
to get... uh... expecting...
from... the other companies...
that he sold to?
I don't know.
Whoever would give him
a few goddamn dollars.
It's easier than selling cans.
What is that?
Oh, it's just a photo,
of Hassan.
Excuse me, please!
Hassan!
Will you please tell me
what's happening?
I don't know.
I, I'm just...
I, I'm not, uh...
I can't follow
the right leads...
Uh, uh...
You're okay?
I, I can't...
control it all, anymore.
My things,
these things that...
You don't have to.
Yeah.
Go ahead?
Go ahead.
It's not what we thought.
Did you copy?
Yeah, I heard you.
It was kids,
I just confirmed it.
Completely non-related.
What do you mean, kids?
Zucker said they got
a legit confession.
Some random act...
Affirmative.
Where did, where'd they
get the Hummer?
Parents.
Uh, they also got a
match on the gun
and Zucker said they tested
positive for Crystal Meth.
And one of them for Crack.
Just bad kids, on drugs...
What should I do now?
Listen. I got to, uh...
I, I'm... working on something.
I, I'll contact you later.
Yeah. Okay.
Good work, Jimmy.
Thanks, Paul. Uh, Serge.
Okay!
Oh, I can't believe
the situation... here...
Paul?
Oh my God, Uncle Paul!
- Uhuh.
- Come here! Are you okay?
Just, uh, minor injuries.
I'll take a butterfly...
stitch.
I'm getting you a wash cloth.
Leave the quack...
in the tent.
He couldn't stitch a baseball.
Oh, sh*t! Yeah.
That is... it's probably the...
worst day...
Sh*t! Oh, sh*t.
We're hot!
We're, we got hit on the left!
- Left side! Left side!
- Uncle Paul!
Pull it up, pull it up,
Little John! Pull it!
Ah! Pull it up, Little John!
Pull it up! We're gonna f***ing dive!
You wanna mess with me, you...
Okay, let's go! Let's go,
you f***ing, you f***ing gooks!
Let's go! Come on,
you f***ing little gooks!
Come on! Oh, no, my God,
we got flamed!
We got flamed in the bird.
What?
Sh*t! We're in deep sh*t!
In deep sh*t! Rip the belt! No!
Oh God! Don't!
No, don't. We're jumping.
Please, don't, don't, don't!
Help us, God, help us!
Help us in our helplessness.
Help my uncle in
II his pain and suffering.
Grant him peace!
Dear Paul.
If for nothing else, I hope you
can forgive me for this letter.
I have found myself
in an African hospital,
away from my home,
and all attempts to reach
you have been unsuccessful.
The doctors here tell me that
I am dying and I believe they are right.
We each have our last
day on this earth
and I have always been okay with that,
but of course I wish
I had more time.
Enough, at least,
to come find you.
Since that doesn't seem possible,
I am giving this letter to Lana.
She has grown into
and reminds me of Mom more
and more each day.
best parts from all of us and
hopefully none of the bad.
Aside from her father, you will
soon be her only living relative,
so when she brings you this,
there is one thing I ask of you...
You had a horrible
dream last night.
I'm sorry.
You said that you were falling...
Do you remember?
That was the Huey I went down in.
We all fell...
Only two soldiers walked away.
I was one of 'em.
It's a gift.
A gift?
I'm not so sure about that...
It is to me.
That dream went away
for a long time.
And then, when that
plane hit the tower...
and then a second one,
but they were still there...
I was watching that shot of
the New York Skyline with
those beautiful towers.
They were burning inside,
but they just kept holding on.
Right there.
I, I knew it was bad.
Over two thousand
gallons of fuel,
two seven-sixty-sevens,
but I thought they
could handle it.
They took the blow and
they were standing strong,
and I thought:
They're refusing to fall!
They're too proud!
But then,
that dream just started
coming back.
I was so far away that
it was night time,
when the towers fell.
And at first, I didn't,
I didn't know what was going on...
I just heard people...
cheering.
Cheering?
There was a crowd
gathered out in the street.
Close to where we lived.
Terrorists!
No.
No, I think that that's the
part that hurts the most.
They weren't, they were just...
just ordinary people.
Well, why in the hell
were they cheering?
Because they hate us.
And because they hate America.
And it came from such
an honest place
and from so many people that...
I just, I knew that something
had gone wrong, and,
and that's, that's
become my... nightmare.
Over three thousand civilians
were killed on that day...
They were innocent people!
Yeah. And... and it's their
voices that I need to hear.
Because I really don't think
that they would want
any more people killed
in their name.
Aside from her father, you will
soon be her only living relative,
so when she brings you this,
there is one thing I ask of you.
Something I fear her father will
not be able to provide.
She is as courageous as a woman
her age can be,
but you and I both know life
has a way of changing that.
You, more than anyone,
know how everything can turn
upside down in a single moment.
times we live in,
and the world Lana will face
when she'll be our age.
One day I know she will
need real courage,
the kind of courage and strength
that only you may be able to teach her.
I'm so sorry I let our petty
differences come between us.
Only now do I realize how
absurd I've been.
I love you and I've always
loved you, Paul.
And when the day comes
that I see you again,
I will beg for
your forgiveness.
Until then, please watch
over your niece.
I'll be watching
over both of you.
My deepest love,
your sister Virginia.
You seem disappointed...
I thought it'd be different.
Like what?
Something more!
I don't know.
Not just a construction site.
