It doesn't really

look like a full moon.

Trust me, Lewis.

Full moon.

It's definitely

not a full moon.

Roy:
Enjoy the weather, boy.

Don't fight the island.

Hey, mom.

to say that i love you and that...

We can't.

Full moon tonight.

Mmm-hmm.

Thank you, baby.

Yeah.

Radio announcer:
Off the Bahamas,

at least 30 people were killed

when a sailboat packed

with immigrants from Haiti

struck a reef and...

More than 100 were rescued.

The search for victims

continues through the rough seas.

F***!

No, Roy will figure it out.

Hey. Hey,

Nurse:

Myron, how you doin', boy?

Myron.

Captain Roy!

You think you can handle all of

these problems all by yourself, Roy?

It don't look good for you

or for me

having to report all this

nonsense back to Nassau.

They expect me to handle it

and get to the bottom of it.

We've been calling these south

islands the "wild, wild west"

with all the things

been going on around here.

Yes, and I call this home.

You're getting old, boy.

You're slipping away.

You know they've been

smuggling around these parts

trafficking everything

from coke, pot, live cargo.

You see, captain Roy.

You all are just the same.

You work with the things

of the old time.

Of the land and the ocean.

The damn boat that was stolen

is the boat that capsized.

How do you figure

how that be, huh?

How do you explain?

And how am i gonna look

talking to the tourism minister

when they're watching

the fox and the CNN

with a flood of Haitian bodies

floating in our waters,

from rich, white peoples'

stolen boats?

This island

is my responsibility.

I take care of it,

you understand?

Then do it.

Remember that morning

we named him?

I wanna feel like that again.

And I do too.

I miss you.

Hey, hey.

Jean-Pierre, Jean-Pierre,

oh sh*t!

Jean-Pierre, hey, hey, hey.

Jean-Pierre, Jean-Pierre.

F***, can we get some help?

- Somebody come help, man.

- Help!

- Help!

- Oh, sh*t.

- Help!

- Help!

Come on.

Just bring it...

He's dead.

She said we have to take

the baby.

What?

She said, "take the baby. "

No, no.

- Listen...

- I can't do this.

- I can't do this.

- Listen to me.

He's got nobody, all right?

I'm here now.

Roy:
What's the matter,

Where doughboy?

He here?

Huh?

Even he ain't real.

Where is he?

Where's doughboy, tell me?

He went to go find myron.

Hey, my friend.

We're fine, okay?

I love you.

Want a beer, boy?

Open!

I'm not gonna say nothing.

I'm gonna tell nobody

about the boat.

You play

your numbers yesterday?

I lost.

But sometimes you win.

Sometimes you lose.

Ain't nothing I can do

about that, huh boy?

If you're gonna do it, do it!

Take your time, boy.

It only happens once.

Sometimes you get

your number called.

Number.

Numbers, numbers.

What are you waiting for?

Yeah, boy.

I like you.

Friendship ain't got

nothing to do with this.

Yeah, you see!

This is how it is.

Men gotta do things

they don't want to do.

I come with the goods,

the merchandise.

I've got great things...

I've got...

Drink! Drink up boy.

Yeah!

People are dead.

People are always dead.

Always.

All right.

Myron:
F***.
