for too much? yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah all I want to see
is the rising sun the rising sun the rising sun all I want to see
is the rising sun oh, no, no the rising sun oh, no, no, no all I want to be
is the rising sun the rising sun,
the rising sun... Mike: Ok, ok. Ok, ok, ok.
You made it, Mikey. You made it. Ha ha!
Ha ha ha! Hey, we made it. All you got to do
is calm the f*** down. Think, baby. You just got to think. Yo, Billy, where the f***
are you? Hurry up. I'm coming. I'm coming. Keep your shirt on, Mike. It's f***ing dark up here. You almost there. You can make it, bro. I told you not to
call me that. You sure we're
going to be safe up here? Yeah, I'm sure. Torch: Huh? Oh, sh*t.
This is it? This is your
f***ing hideout? Yeah, yeah,
this is it. Go ahead. Make
yourself at home. You sure Manny won't
come looking for us here? Yeah, I'm sure. You positive? I'm telling you,
absolutely. Absolutely positive. Let me tell you something. It looks like
quite a few people found your little
f***ing hideaway here. Will you just go ahead
and sit down? Yeah, yeah.
I'll do that. Let me tell you
something else. I sure as sh*t ain't taking
my shoes off in this joint. God forbid, I get
f***ing aids. What are you so f***ing
worried about, huh? I don't know. What if Manny
and his boys find us? What about that, huh? Mierda, look it,
I told you. This place is like
f***ing fort knox. Nobody comes
in our out unless they know
the way. All right? Me
and my man Tony, we used to hide out
here all the time. What you keep saying.
Are you sure nobody saw us? Yeah. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Damn
place is a mess. No sh*t. I don't know
if I like this. I think we should blow. I think we should get
the f*** out of here. And do what? What,
you want to ride the f***ing subway
till somebody spots us? No. We take our chances
on the street. We're better off.
I'm telling you. No. Forget about it.
We got half the dealers in the city looking
for us probably, not to mention the cops. We got to do some
f***ing thing. At least get
out of New York. To Jersey, Philly,
maybe Miami. I hear the weather's nice. Miami? Miami? What are
you, f***ing crazy? Manny's got connections
up the ass on the east coast. We got to go
out west. California, Seattle,
maybe. Maybe this guy Tony,
the friend you called, maybe we could sell
the sh*t to him. No way. No way. Tony's out
of the life now. Let me tell you something. Once you got a taste
of the life, that's it. Once in the life,
always in the life, Mikey. Not my man Tony,
man. He's out. Lucky motherf***er. Oh, we used to come
up here all the time back in the day. Me, him,
f***ing Freddie. F***ing Freddie nine lives. A piece of work, he is. Catch that motherf***er,
throw him off a roof. Freddie: Aah!
I don't know nothing. I don't know nothing. I swear I don't know
anything. I swear to God, please! Come on, Freddie,
who was it? Come on. Freddie: I don't know
nothing, man. I swear to God. You don't tell me,
I'm going to throw you off this f***ing roof.
Tell me. Please, Manny, please.
I don't know anything. Oh, God, no! Hey, Buddha, don't cats
usually land on their feet? Yeah, but at this
height, I don't know. No, Manny, please.
Don't drop me, Manny. Don't kill me. Not like
this, Manny, please. Drop him. No! No! No! It was Mike! It was Mike,
20/20 Mike! Come on, Freddie,
stop f***ing around. Come on.
The other guy, huh? It was some crazy white boy
with long hair, a dope fiend. I swear that's all
I know, Manny. Oh, my God, don't... 20/20. Ain't that
Tony's boy? Yo, Manny. I ain't seen
this cat in, like, years, you know what
I'm saying? Freddie: I swear.
Don't drop me. I swear to God!
Please. It's ok, Tony. Really, it's ok. Freddie: Oh, my God,
don't kill me, Manny. Please, not like this! Ruffhouse, Buddha, why don't you take
Freddie downstairs and hang out, huh? Me and Tony
got to talk. I can't believe he f***ing
left us hanging, man. Cocksucker said the job
would be a cinch. Said it would be easy.
Now look at us sitting here
in a f***ing firetrap. It would have
been a cinch if you'd have chilled
the f*** out. Don't f***ing start
with me. I can't believe you
f***ing shot those guys. How many f***ing times
are you going to say it? You f***ing shot
two kids, man. I can't believe that. Forget about it,
will you? What's done is done. Yeah. You came to me
about a year ago. You asked
for your own franchise. I gave it to you,
and what happens? Is this how you show
your f***ing appreciation? Manny, you got to
believe-- shut the f*** up! Just keep on talking. Keep on talking. Freddie: Don't hit me--ohh! Now, I know
this motherf***er set me up. Now, I know he's
responsible for Hector. All I want to know is when, where, why,
what, who. Come on. I got to the hotel,
all right? [Cell phone ringing] Yeah. Yeah, baby. No. Look, Max, I'm kind of
tied up right now, ok? How's your hand, bro? Stop calling me
that. I ain't
your brother. So it's like that now? You bet your ass
it is. You're a sick man,
Mr. Williams. I told you
not to call me that. Yep. You're
a very sick man. I'm not sick. Just got a cold, and my f***ing
hand's killing me. Come on, Tony.
Where the f*** are you? I think I know where
they are, Manny. That's good, Tony. Now we're going to
talk about how you should handle it. Me? Yeah, you. I can't
do that, man. Why is that? I ain't never killed
nobody before, man. Well, guess what, Tony. There's a first time
for everything. What? It's your product
we're talking about here. It's your responsibility. You wanted to be
your own boss, right? Guess what. You got to pay the cost
if you want to be the boss. You take that with you. F*** this sitting around waiting for your friend
to show up. God forbid, Manny
and his boys find us. Forget it. They'll f***ing
have us for breakfast. Hold up. Hold up.
What the f*** is that? What? Listen. What the f***
is that? I don't know.
Maybe it's your friend. No. That's
something else. I know I've heard
that sound before. So what are you
asking me for? I don't know-- shh! Shh! Wait. Oh, sh*t! F***! That's a f***ing rat, man. Don't do
that sh*t, man! I'm telling you,
that's a f***ing rat, man. I hate rats. I can't stand
them shits. I remember I was
dating this girl. She lived down
by mill basin-- candy brown. B*tch was fine, bro. Told you not
to call me-- I mean, fine. This chick was so fine,
I spent all the bread I could get my hands on trying to get
into her panties. Took her to coney island,
the aquarium, the movies. Any place in Brooklyn
I thought she might give it up, that's where I
would take her, right? So after we had gone out
a few times-- I don't know to this date
how I knew, but I could tell
she had finally decided to give me some, right? So, we had gone
to the movies over on church Avenue, and when the flick was over,
she asked me to walk her home, so I go like a bat. So, we start walking,
talking, shooting the breeze,
