You'll hear it when we come back.

Two days, same time same station, yes?

Ok, you got it baby.

Don't make me look for you Terrence.

They're gone.

You're taking him to my father's house.

Frankie.

They're gone.

I can't take care of them.

I just need a place where she could stay

for a couple of days.

Why can't you put her in your place.

I can't take a chance this guy found out

where I live, dad. Come on.

Christ!

I get me ajob for bringing the cookies to the

meeting. It takes me half a day to get it done.

You want me to babysit a prost?

You dont have to babysit her.

She's very self sufficient.

I'm not in any kind of shape to take on

something like this.

I get home from one meeting, I lie on a

couch and I wait.

TiI it's time for the next meeting.

That's all I can do right now.

Let your wife deal with her.

They'll get along like sisters.

Get away from me, you fag.

My husband's trying to quit drinking and

you bring this sh*t into our house?

Give that back, lady or I swear to God,

I will stab you in the heart.

- What's this?

- What kind of trash you bring in here, Terrence?

She's going through my bag.

My personal sh*t.

Everybody calm down.

- Give it to me.

- He got to put up with narcotics under his nose.

Oh God, Come on, it can't be any worse than

you're being shitface on beer all the time.

You told her I'm shitface all the time?

No

It's pretty f***ing obvious, lady.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

Well, f***ing whore. Watch this.

Come f***ing get it.

I can't deal with this sh*t.

Terrence.

We come in or you come out?

Alright. Come on let's go

Francesca Donnenfeld. You know her?

Just cut the bullshit, and tell me what

you're here for.

I'm Yasco. Here's the thing tough guy.

You just keep f***ing with the wrong people.

First, the old lady.

Now, your prostitute friend customer.

The old lady, you might have written

out. She didn't remember so good.

The colored nurse, She's covering for

the grandson, whatever.

But when I get a call from a chief of

D's office. That you're shaken down

your prost friend's customer.

Whose father is hung all the way from

here to f***ing city hall.

You're done, Lieutenant.

What do you want?

Your gun for starters.

Huh.

Until the outcome of the hearing,

you're on modified duty.

Better call your delegate.

You have a good day, Lieutenant.

I didn't have a gun.

I know, look you cut the best deal you can

and you get to handle the police department.

Because if you stay in,

it's gonna get worse.

Terrence, can I talk to you for a second.

I can't stay here.

I didn't take the sh*t from my own mother.

And I'm not gonna take it from her.

Hey, Dad. Can I get a minute alone

with my girlfriend?

She's gonna calm down. I promise.

I'm so happy you're here.

I got something else I wanna show you.

I wanna show you this place.

I spent a lot of time here...

When I was a boy.

I was here alone a lot.

This was my special place...

...as a child.

My castle.

And I would imagine things here.

Pirates, buried treasures.

My dad didn't like that so much,

But my mom, she got it.

Before she died.

She bought me a metal detector.

I wanna show you something.

Look at that. Right out there.

I thought that pirates came up the

Mississippi,

And that they bury treasure right there

by that tree...

Next to the house.

I took the metal detector my mom gave me.

And I went out there and it started

beeping like 'Beep'... 'Beep'... 'Beep'.

I started digging, and I I dug and I

dug and I dug...

And I found a sterling silver spoon.

And I was so happy I started screaming,

and jumping and laughing.

And I went

"Hey Man... this is treasure".

"This is Pirate's treasure."

And I came back here with it.

And I hid it somewhere. I just

Sterling silver spoon.

I still can't find it.

It could be anywhere.

I know it's here.

I don't know what to tell you,

Terrence.

Not a lot I can do in this

circumstances.

I tell you guys all the time, you can

not get away with that cowboy sh*t

anymore.

You don't listen,

and now this is what we had.

My best f***ing detective, and I gotta

put him in the property room.

Terrence, come on.

I don't wanna get you in full of orders.

You do all this Fonz sh*t, and I'm

here, they're gonna think I'm doing it

too.

So who go to the storage house when

you're not here?

While you're there, get my. 45 Magnum

and bring it to me.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- You work here?

- Looks that way.

Why do you got there?

You see that scale over there?

It's broken.

Useless.

I sent for a new one, as soon it gets here.

I'll weigh the drugs, and I'll get you

your voucher, okay?

Alright, bye bye...

How may I help you, Sir?

May I help you, Sir?

- Can I talk to you a minute?

- Excuse me.

You mind stepping outside?

I'd like to talk to you.

You interrupted my meal.

I'm gonna pretend to be polite, suit

you like a big man in front of your

friends.

But you give me hard times...

...I put the cuffs on you, just like

any other sh*t bird.

I'll be back.

- You alright?

- What the f*** you wanna talk to me?

You ain't gonna shoot me,

are you motherf***er?

Why would I do that?

I got something for you and I think

you're gonna like it.

Let's take a walk.

You're crazy for coming down here.

I'm gonna give you a chance

to make some money the old fashion way.

With a cop protecting you.

- What I need protection for?

- Other cops.

A cop gonna protect me from cops.

You'll know when a supply is under

surveillance,

You'll know when it's safe to make a

pickup, when it's not.

What do I gotta give you?

$ 15,000 - shipment.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Am I being unfair?

How do I know you ain't looking to set me up?

Tomorrow I'll bring you some information.

Small sh*t.

You decide if you wanna go to the next step.

What about the murders?

You won't give a f*** about them no more?

Look at me.

Now look at you. I never did.

I got the weight on that dope, finally.

Thanks.

That's all there was?

I'll double check it if you want.

Don't matter,

when that's enough for felony.

Hey where do you guys get going on today?

Buy and bust on 4th and Ferret.

On Andre's outfit.

Happy hunting.

Undercover just bustin' on Andre.

- What do you know?

- Man of your word.

Are you running me back to my car?

Yeah, I need to make a stop first.

Is that alright?

Yes.

- This is prime real estate.

- Doesn't look prime.

See that's the point.

Now is the time to get in.

All of this will be river front condos.

Marble floors, health spas...

By that time, another motherf***er

made all the money.

Don't be going legit on me now, Big.

Money is money

Tell you what. You'll be the frontman,

I'll be the power behind the throne.

Just like we work your 4th grader good.

Yeah you're right.

This is a good spot to build condominiums.

See, I know I like you, man.

Come on.

May I ask you to step out of the vehicle
