Linewatch Page #3

Synopsis: Michael Dixon is a seasoned agent working linewatch on the US/Mexico Border. Well respected by his peers at US Border Patrol, and well loved by his family (wife Angela and 5 year old daughter Emily), Michael's world is suddenly threatened by secrets from his past. Michael was not always the respectable family man he now has become - he was a vicious Los Angeles gang member who turned his back on the gang and his own brutal ways. But no one can quit the gang, so when a chance encounter leads the gang to Michael in New Mexico, Michael is forced to find a way to protect his family, even if it means helping the psychotic gang leader Drake smuggle a truckload of drugs across the border.

Hey, little pretty mama.

God made all this stuff and it'll bite you

- right in the ass.

- I caught you lookin'. What you lookin' at?

Yes, you are.

I saw you lookin' at me, weren't you?

I don't blame you.

I'm pretty good lookin', aren't I?

No.

I'm gonna let Little stay here wit' you,

keep you company.

- Oh, you know we hold it down.

- You know that.

- Yeah. All right.

Let's go.

Anybody f*** with my family, it's on you.

Hear me?

Mike, we all family.

You know, same old Kimo.

I figured you'd be

running things by now, Cook.

Who says I'm not? I just don't

like to deal with all the stress,

kind of interfere

with my get high, you know?

You the person that should be

running this outfit.

Who says I'm not, n*gger?

I thought we got rid of that word.

Hey, Mike.

- How you doin', Frank?

- Not bad.

- Hey, you hear anything about Luis?

- Nope.

You guys need to stay out of trouble.

He'll be all right.

He's a tough son of a b*tch, huh?

- Yeah, he's gonna be back in no time.

- He's got a six-year-old kid. Poor guy.

- What's up, Mike?

- Just checkin' the routes.

C'mon, I want to talk to you outside.

You know, I wasn't kiddin'

about you takin' some time off.

I can't do that, Warren.

Yeah, well, it's not really up to you, Mike.

You know, ballistics aren't addin' up

on the DeSanto thing, either.

We got four different shells.

That's four shooters.

I'm takin' you off line watch,

just till we clear this thing up.

I'm gonna find that coyote.

You know, DeSanto might not ever see

his little boy again.

You do what you want on your free time,

but don't forget about the important stuff.

Got it.

Kimo, V-Ray and Mad Dog,

they used to run High Noon Gang.

- Thank you.

- Well, your dad was friends with them?

My dad was V-Ray. Virgil Brooks.

I'm Lonnie Brooks,

so they call me Little Boy, you know.

What happened to him? Your dad?

He got shot by a guard durin' a truck heist.

Actually, tryin' to save Mad Dog.

Took two for him.

- Well, which one is Mad Dog?

- Are you f***in' serious?

- Watch your mouth in this house.

- My bad. I just thought you knew.

I mean, Mad Dog's Uncle Mike.

Your man, Michael.

- I can play this sh*t now.

- You think Little look like V-Ray, man?

I ain't seen V-Ray in over 10 years, man.

I don't know.

I don't even know what V-Ray

look like no more.

Kind of look like Mad Dog, don't he?

- He look like Prince, if you ask me.

- Nigga, I'm serious, man.

- Mad Dog was hittin' that sh*t, wasn't he?

- Come on now. That's Donna,

- who wasn't hittin' that? Come on.

- Yeah, you right. Donna.

And what about your mom?

My mom O.D.'d, she was a junkie,

when I was about...

You know, it don't mean nothin'.

I got family, you know, Kimo and all them.

They... They be takin' care of me.

Real good care. Just what the world needs,

another gangbanger.

HNG ain't just no gangbangers.

We are professionals.

We? You ain't HNG until we say you HNG.

Now we say you go outside

and play with little mama.

Can I go, Mommy?

Yeah, go ahead.

So who's this? These your people?

Give me that.

What? I'm just looking at it. Wait a minute.

Come here. That's what you get.

- You.

Negro.

You been reading

all them damn newspapers,

that's how you know all this stuff?

Trying to get it, baby.

- What was Elvis Presley's middle name?

- Aaron, with a "A."

- Damn.

- I read everything man, you need to try it.

- Hey, what is this?

- Checkpoints. Could be anywhere, anytime.

That's why we're taking the long way.

Come give me a hand with this.

Angela told me about your mother.

Oh, junkies die, man.

Ain't no reason to cry about that sh*t.

Hey, man.

Don't talk about your mother like that.

I don't even know

why we talking about my mom.

My dad was the hero.

Anybody who treated your mother

the way V-Ray did

isn't considered a hero. You hear me?

Man, what's your deal, man?

My dad saved your life.

My dad died for you. I don't even know

how you even talking about him like that.

There are stories, and

then there's the truth.

Oh yeah, that was Cook, man, he didn't,

I mean, nothing really happened,

they just got into...

Hold up, man, but wait, wait,

wait one second, dude. He...

They must be bored out they damn mind

living out here.

They just got card games and sh*t.

Mike, hold up.

Aw, damn.

- Hey, man, hold on. Hold up, playboy.

- What are you doing, fool?

- Kick back, Cook, man.

- I'll kill you.

Calm your nerves, homie.

Nobody touched your lady.

Ain't nothing happened to her, man. Relax.

Kick back, man.

Just like old times.

We got a big day tomorrow, Mad Dog.

You and the missus better get some sleep.

You was shook like that old fool

at the Repot Depot.

Shut up.

I want you to take Emily

to Las Cruces after we leave tomorrow.

Get a motel room

and stay there till you hear from me.

God, I'm scared, Michael.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

No, I'm scared that I don't know you.

Mad Dog.

All right, Stokes, you'll follow me.

- Only taking one.

- Why?

You, me, Stokes, Cook, Little.

Two stay here.

That wasn't the plan.

Sure, it was the plan. I just never told you.

Do you think we gonna leave

those two beautiful women alone?

They need protection. Roll out.

- Stokes, I'll drive.

- It's your world.

So, you want to tell me

why we're headed east?

Yeah, man.

We gonna take the long way around,

so we can avoid that mobile checkpoint

in the west.

How do you know?

- Did you get confirmation on the time?

- 4:
30, just like you said.

Patrol's gonna be in at 5:00.

We gotta get in and out fast.
