I love him, and I trust him.

Let's not jump to conclusions.

And as far as Vic Damone Jr...

You sure nobody followed you?

You sure?

Yes, n*gger, I'm sure!

- Look under the table.

- What?

Look at that.

You done gone and done it now.

'Cause this scares me.

What you talking about?

This gonna take care of us

for the rest of our life.

We won't have to do sh*t else.

What we gonna do?

Where we gonna go?

We can go wherever the hell

we wanna go with this sh*t.

I was thinking about

buying a small country.

This is wrong.

This is right!

It can't get no righter!

This is the only way

out of this sh*t I'm in.

Here's the number

for this policeman.

You want me to call the cops?

You want me to call them

so they can shoot me.

My baby ain't gonna be

no fugitive.

You don't wanna call the cops,

fine.

Maybe that reporter

can clear this whole thing up.

F*** him.

And don't give me that look

'cause it ain't gonna work.

Don't even give me that look.

I see you looking at me.

One more time.

Think.

Where are my diamonds?

Gimme a kiss.

Hey, James, that you?

I want the diamonds,

or your partner's dead.

Partner? I ain't got

no goddamn partner!

Who the f*** is this?

Listen to me.

I'm with some people

who've promised to kill me...

unless you give them

those diamonds...

the ones you forgot to mention!

What diamonds?

The f***ing diamonds,

you prick!

Medulla alagata.

What?

Tell them to shoot you

in the medulla alagata...

right behind the ear.

You won't feel sh*t.

This isn't a joke.

I'm in some deep sh*t here.

Listen to me.

Three A.M.

Hangar number seven.

Long Beach airport.

Keep the diamonds

in the plastic bag.

They will be weighed.

Kiss my ass!

We meet where I say we meet,

French motherf***er.

What happened?

He hung up.

We meet on his turf,

then your ass be all alone.

Meet on my turf,

at least we got a chance.

He'll call back.

What'd I tell you?

All right, motherf***er,

this is the deal.

Watch your language!

Mama, I ain't know it you!

I ain't killed no cops.

Call me back.

Stop watching the news.

Don't be believing

everything on the news.

Who is this?

I'm listening.

This is the deal.

Fifty yard line,

Coliseum, three A.M.

And if Jimmy boy ain't alive...

you can kiss

them diamonds good- bye.

Tonight,

I'm gonna pay your ass off...

in diamonds.

Where's a piece of sh*t

like you get diamonds?

Coliseum, three A.M.

Williams.

Hey, cop.

This is Franklin Hatchett.

Meet me at the Coliseum,

three A.M.

Be there.

We'll be there.

That was Hatchett.

He wants to turn himself in.

I'm gonna go tell the captain.

No way, buddy.

This is our collar.

You and me. Us.

Let's go.

Roland, it's me.

Wake your old ass up.

What do you want?

I need you down at the booth

tonight.

I'm gonna owe you for this one.

Yo, Aaron?

Pick up the phone!

You said call you

if I need you.

I need you

at the Coliseum tonight.

Don't let a brother down.
