Once Fallen Page #5

---

Yeah.

Sure.

Is everything else alright?

Fine, man. I'm fine.

I just need your help.

I can't--I can't

do this alone.

You're not alone.

I'm here.

We just gotta me smart.

We gotta make the right moves.

I know.

I know.

I am, after this

load, we're done.

I promise.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

[whistles]

My dad was pushing

a lid open with the Aryans

making a deal

with the Bloods.

I didn't know it then,

but my dad made the deal to protect me.

That sure pissed off

Sonny, who was next in line under my dad.

[no audible dialog]

How did it go?

You still got all

your fingers and toes?

For years I practiced what I would say to him.

I didn't say any of it.

You said it all

just by showing up.

He loves you.

Just like you love

August, only you don't know it, yet.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What am I gonna do?

I mean, I-I'm a dealer.

No. You were a dealer.

You dealt drugs.

That's in the past.

That's not who you are.

Yeah, but that's all know how to do.

It's what I'm good at.

When you were a kid,

what did you wanna be?

What was like your dream?

I don't know. I always thought that I would work

by the docks like my old man.

Oh, that's perfect.

That is so perfect.

There is lots of water

where we're going. Lots of boats. Yes!

Boats? You want me

to go to the South?

Yes, please!

I'm in.

As long as I'm with

you, I don't care where I'm at.

Oh, when?

When do you

wanna go?

Now. Yes.

We could enjoy it

sitting out here.

No, come on,

seriously.

There's a few things I gotta take care of,

but then I'm all yours.

I'm still in it.

Okay, I know you've been

involved with some shady sh*t in the past.

That's all

behind you, right?

You've got nothing

to worry about.

Okay.

Nothing to worry about.

Come on, motherf***er.

Go. Come on.

[shouts]

What the f***

do you guys want?

August, run ! Run !

(man) Nine-one-one. What

is your emergency?

(Rath) Why do you make me

keep doing this to you?

My money isn't in Chance's

apartment. Where is my f***ing money?

Where is it?

I don't f***ing

know, man. I don't know.

Tell me where it is.

[crying]

I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay. All right.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

All right. All right.

I just--I-I lose my

patience sometimes. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Tell where my

f***ing son is.

I'm not f***ing around.

I don't know where

your f***ing kid is.

Why in the f*** would

you think I know where your kid is?

'Cause of the money

we f***ing owe you.

It ain't that much

f***ing money, man.

I got a kid of my own.

You know that. I don't take kids.

Go ahead and shoot me, motherf***er. Runs in

the gene pool, don't it?

Christ.

I need your

help, Eddie.

What?

I need your

f***ing help.

While you are sitting

there thinking about this stuff,

I want you to run these

changes by Beat, hm?

See what he has

to say about this sh*t.

Give me the rest

of my money.

Here's the money

I owe you.

I'm done

fighting for good.

You piece of sh*t!

Come on. Come on !

You like that? Don't you?

[gunshot]

[groans]

(Eddie) I will tell you

about my kid.

It's just some girl I knew

from home and left me with a kid and disappeared.

I didn't think there was

much I could do for him so I put him in a home

for the retarded.

But there was hell

of a lot I could've done for him.

By the time I realized

that, he was gone.

Died at eight

years old. Alone.

I n some home.

When your flesh and blood

needs you, man, and you cut for the tall grass,

everything else just

seems like some farce.

So, if you don't wanna fight

more, Chance, okay, that's cool by me.

But if you cut and run,

if you cut for the tall grass,

take your boy

with you.

It's safe there.

That's all anybody wants.

To be safe.

Thanks, Eddie.

Funny how it goes.

Oh, no.

No.

[whispers]

Oh, God.

Hey.

[whispers]

Hey, buddy.

Hey, buddy.

I'm here.

Yeah.

Take my hand.

Okay.

[groans]

Rath took August.

He's a son

of a b*tch.

Let go.

You're okay now.

You're okay.

Where's my son?

I got him.

I got him.

I want my son.

Okay, I'll get him.

I'll get him.

Every body

settle down, okay?

It's all cool.

All I want is the money that you

and Beat skimmed from me.

That's it.

You give me my money,

I'll give you

back your son. Okay?

I'm not giving you sh*t.

You owe me. Five f***ing

years you owe me.

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm setting all this up. It's for you, it's for us.

It's what we've

always wanted.

That's what you f***ing

wanted. I just wanted something for myself.

I wanted you to have

things for yourself, man.

Not unless I

owed you for it.

That's not true.

Jesus Christ!

Okay.

Settle the f*** down.

We're okay.

We're okay.

Do you think

I care about this?

This life? I don't care

about any of this.

I just care

about you.

(thug) Boss, just let me

shoot this a**hole.

Don't look at him,

don't look at him. Look at me.

I don't care

about these guys.

You see?

I just want

what's best for us.

I just want my son.

Okay.

I'll get him.

Here we go August.

Come on, your dad's here.

Are you okay, buddy?

Of course he's okay.

I wouldn't

lie to you.

It's all right, man.

I can't do

this anymore.

You don't have to.

You don't have to.

I just wanna give

him a better life.

And I don't want this. I don't want the drugs,

I don't want the fighting.

Okay. Okay.

Listen, I'll set it up for

us. We can go anywhere we want now, okay?

Anywhere in the world.

Okay.

I got you now.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Okay?

Okay? Okay.

[yells]

Motherf***er. I'm

gonna f***ing kill you.

You f***ing killed Beat

so I'm gonna make you pay.

I didn't kill him.

[inaudible]

[shouts]

[cries]

[shouts]

Twice in 11 years.

Meet your

grandson. August.

Hey.

What the hell

happened to you?

Rath's men.

Kidnapped August,

almost killed Pearl.

I found out Beat

was running with Rath.

It was too late.

Beat's dead.

Hey, August, who is

our favorite superhero?

Aquaman.

Why f***ing Aquaman?

Did you hear me?

Yeah. Not in front

of the kid.

Hey, Keyes, take August

down to the other room.

See if you can find him

a Silver Surfer comic.

But I hate

Silver surfer.

Well, I hate

f***ing Aquaman.

Go outside, all right,

buddy? I'll be out there in a minute.

Oh, that's nice.

Did you kill him?

No.

Why the f*** not?

'Cause I wanted to make

the right f***ing decision for once in my life.

Sometimes your right

f***ing decision is the wrong decision.

Like you know

the f***ing difference?

What the f*** is

that supposed to mean?

I never should've

come here.

Sit your ass

right back there.

F*** you ! You're the one who told me

that I had a choice.

This time I made

the right f***ing choice.

I chose to end up here the rest of my life and

I chose my f***ing son.

Do you think I

wanted this? Huh?

You think I

wanted this sh*t?

I wanted to be with you.

It just didn't work out.

After all these f***ing years, it just didn't work

out? What the f*** is that?

I think about punching
