cock with a bowtie on the tip

over up your ass,

'till you f***ing screamed, huh?

F*** you!

No, f*** you!

Freak!

Because of the brutality of the murders..

police are concerned that this is only

the opening act of what could be..

another violent drug war.

This is Connor Habib, reporting from...

Damn man, we're in a middle of a

motherfucking drug war, motherf***er.

- That's what he's saying..

- What motherfucking war..

Hey man shut the f*** up!

We ain't in no f***ing

drug war, alright?!

We good with Samy, right?!

Everybody.. We all good with Sammy.

And he takes care of us,

so we gonna be alright.

Yeah, but Brazil still needs some

medicine or somethin', look at his side.

Hey man, I'm gonna go talk to Lucky for you.

He knows.. He knows what's going on..

I don't want any of you opening

up any f***ing doors, ok?!

You too Stacy, don't be

f***ing touching the door!

Alright, I got it!

- The toilet?!

- Shut up.

He's trying for like six months.

That thing almost drowned.

Can I have your pickles?

If almost,

then when they moved..

they had a chain thing, so they had to

rig up this thing around his paw.

Hey Willy..

Come take a walk with me.

C'mon.

How's your face?

I'm real sorry about that, you know.

Sometimes I just take it just a little crazy.

Can you forgive me?

Look I, uh..

I got a favor to ask, if you uh..

Mommy and I are gonna go

away for a couple of days.

I need you to take care of your sister. You know,

just make sure she doesn't leave the room,

she behaves, doesn't talk to strangers,

that kind of thing. Can you handle that?

Just goin' to see some relatives,

take care of some business.

Be back in a couple of days, not a big deal.

So, uhm.. I'm counting on you, ok?!

I'll uh..

I'll get you something nice, alright?!

You're a good kid.

Mommy..

Where you going?

Out.

Come here, sit down.

- I want you behave while we're gone, ok?!

- Willy, come here.

It's $14, alright?! You need more, you grab

it from the street, just don't get caught.

Look uh.. Anybody ask

where we are, you tell 'em uh..

Alright, tell them we're

looking for work, ok?!

Be back 'fore you know it.

You're the man of the house now.

Take care of your sister.

Come on, let's go.

Okay, Willy..

I love you.

What are we gonna do?

I can't see you,

'cause you're invisible.

No.

I'm not anymore.

See how you like it.

Come on,

I'm not invisible anymore.

Is Brazil here?

Brazil?!

Where the f*** you at man?

Joy..

What's going on?

I'm so glad you called.

Momma's sick.

You gotta get home right away.

Is anybody looking for me?

Didn't you hear me?!

Momma's sick!

Just tell me where you are.

I'll come get you.

Ok..

I'll be there in a second.

Ok.

Hurry.

Hello old man.

Guess I ain't gonna

have to use this, huh?!

You listened.

You kept that chain

of that door, huh?!

Goddamn, you stink.

Benny Alvarez live here?

What happened?

Come on!

Jesus.. The whole neighborhood is

crawling with people looking for you.

What kind of people?

New people.

Anybody follow you?

No.

I went through the backyards,

like you said.

No one saw me.

What is that smell?

Come on.

It wasn't me.

It was natural causes.

Well what about the ex cop?

Was he arrested too?

No sir.

Uhm..

Ma'am.

Look your husband broke into another guy's

house, he thought his life was in danger..

My husband was unarmed.

This guy had a gun, right?!

So what about that?

The gun was registered. I mean,

how was he supposed to know if your..

husband was..

armed or not.

I might need a favor.

I'll.. I'll call you.

They found..

Stacy.

But nobody knew it was her,

because she was pregnant.

And then they checked

her more and found..

a human head inside of her belly.

It was Brazil.

What is so f***ing funny?

These Pepperton's men..

they don't f*** around, huh?!

Nobody's gonna stop

me from seeing him.

Take these things off of him.

Now look at him,

he's unconscious.

Sorry, he's under arrest.

He is the victim of a crime!

Ma'am..

He was wounded while in

process of committing a crime.

You take these

f***ing things of him!

Sorry, but I can't do that just yet.

What did you do?

Was it worth it?

Was it worth it Benny?

Hey..

Where is everybody?

You weren't here last night?!

Melody got stabbed.

Melody?

Yep, she got cut-up real good.

The guy tried to drive off.

Melody's mom got the

license plates numbers.

Cops got him. And they

arrested Melody's momma.

For promoting whores.

Sewed up Melody at the hospital.

Probably shipped her

off to Goshen by now.

That's where they send all the

young whores for rechanneling.

Next time you see her,

I bet she'll be a Moonie.

Where is this Goshen?

Country.

Three, four hours.

- How do I get there?

- I don't know, uh..

Get on a bus,

it'll cost you 'bout $20.

Ok, come on.

Let's go.

Hey!

When they were taking her away..

She kept calling out your name.

Wondering why you

weren't there for her.

- Really?

- Yeah, we all heard it.

Kept saying Willy..

Willy I need you.

Come on, let's go.

You see that Benz right there?!

That sh*t's there tonight,

that's ours.

It's probably Samy's too.

Make a f*** of a way

to leave, you know?!

Alright.

I'll be back in an hour.

Where the f*** are you going?

Look..

I'm not leaving 'till I say

goodbye to my mother.

Give her a f***ing call.

I'm not doing this on the phone.

Look, I gotta get clothes,

I gotta bring things.

Like what are we

gonna do for food?

Take care of yourself now, ok?!

Sh*t's f***ed up.

Sh*t.

We don't have enough.

Excuse me sir,

could you spare a dollar or so?

Excuse me ma'am, could you spare

a dollar, so me and my sister could eat?

This guy isn't going anywhere.

I'll swear to it.

Alright.

It's all I needed to hear.

Ramon right?! Yes, ok..

Alright, it's time for

you to go to bed.

'Cause daddy's gotta go to work.

Please God, we need you.

I never believed in you before..

I never had a reason..

to believe.

But, if you're out there..

We need you.

Please..

Please, I'll do anything..

I'll be good.. I'll.. I'll kick.

Just this once..

Oh.. Oh f***.

Okay..

I'm gonna leave you with $17.

It'll be enough 'till

mommy gets back.

I don't wanna stay here alone.

Willy, please..

Take me with you..

Look.. ok..

You'll be better off without me.

I'm no good.

That's why Chas hits me

and mommy hates me.

But if you ain't around to get hit..

then maybe Chas will start hitting me.

That won't be happening.

Chas gonna be really

pissed when you come home.

That won't be happening, either.

I'll draw pictures on your back!

No, ok..

Stay.

Please Willy..

Take me with you..

Gabrielle..

What happened to you?

Benny's been shot..

He is in the hospital, they're

not sure he's gonna make it.

What's going on with you?

My mother was here yesterday..

And we had a long talk and

reached an understanding.

If I agree to stop playing house..

and see a new shrink if..

I stop dressing up and

mutilating my body, if I..
