Just got word.

The cops picked up the kid.

Anything you still

want to tell us?

Tell you what?

There's nothing to tell.

Where you headed, Joe?

I was supposed to head to the store

and pick up some milk and eggs.

In all the excitement,

I forgot to do it, so...

Yugorsky's going to call us

when he talks to the kid.

Don't go too far.

Later, Joe.

Yeah, see you.

Hey, T...

looking f***ing good.

He keeps giving me

this bullshit story...

about finding the gun in some

abandoned locker in school.

What do you want me to do?

The little f***er shot me.

He ain't going to

spill dick to you.

You know, I don't think

I am being clear enough here.

You know what I mean?

Let me be crystal clear.

You get the boy

to give up Gazelle...

or I am closing shop

on your tweaker ass...

and I am taking you down

f***ing hard.

Understand me?

Hey, cowboy.

Want to go get some ice cream?

Yo, we got good sh*t, daddy.

Get the f*** away from my car.

Hey. Hey,

I am looking for Manny Perez.

He--he's not here. No!

Manny? Where the f*** is he?

- He's not here.

- Where is he?

Where is he?!

He's not here!

You better not

f***ing lie to me!

Where the f*** is he?

Where is he?

- OK, OK.

- Where is he?

He's at Armando's.

Armando's.

- He's at Armando's.

- Yes. He's at--

Get the hell out of the way.

You stay right there.

What's your name?

What's your name?

Conchita.

Now, you listen to me, Conchita.

You listen to me real good.

- I don't want to hurt Manny.

- OK.

All right?

I don't want to hurt him...

but he has something

that belongs to me--a gun.

Do you know anything

about a gun?

- No, no.

- No.

No. It's block 5, number 602.

That's where he is.

OK. Now, listen to me.

We are now on what we call

the honor system.

You comprende?

You understand what I am saying?

- S.

- OK.

- You don't call Manny.

- OK.

You don't tell Manny I am coming.

You don't warn him for anything...

because if you do,

I am going to come back here!

I can be an a**hole.

You have made your point.

You showed some balls.

I like that.

But now it's time to be smart.

You tell me

what I want to know...

and I am going to reward you--

Razors season tickets.

I am sorry.

It's OK.

I told you, we're cool.

Just tell me.

I am sorry I missed.

You little sh*t.

Tell me where

the f***ing gun is.

You tell me,

or I will f***ing kill you.

F***!

Oleg!

Oleg!

Oleg!

Where are you?

You little sh*t!

Oleg!

I will find you!

I am going to kill you, you...

You're only making it

worse on yourself!

Do you hear me?

Jeez, Edele,

I think we picked up a stray.

Indeed.

Hello there.

Hi.

And who might you be?

You know, I think we should get

another ice cream cone.

I think you're right, Papa Bear.

Hey.

Hey, are you Manny?

Manny? Nah. He's upstairs.

What you want with him?

Business.

If he owes you any money,

forget about it.

I just cleaned the cabron out.

Yeah? Who is it?

It's Conchita.

- Conchita.

- La Conchita.

Faces on the f***ing table!

Heads down and f***ing hands

behind your head!

You move,

and I will f*** you up!

I will f*** you up!

Don't you move, partner.

Don't you f***ing move.

I will f*** you up.

Which one of you is f***ing Manny?

Who's Manny?

Are you done?

- You mother--

- Pendejo!

You Manny? You motherf***er!

Don't call me pendejo,

you f***!

I want my f***ing gun!

I want my f***ing snub nose!

You lifted it from

the f***ing Arlington!

Now, where the f*** is it?

Where the f*** is it?

F*** you!

Where the f*** is my gun?

Stressed out,

but I am going to hold out

For the whole 9,

that's no doubt

Till I get what's mine

I am throwing no doubt...

F***!

F***! Motherf***er!

- Look at that.

- That's a good smile.

Look at those braces.

- There's a little dimple there.

- They are.

Yeah, that's super cute.

Isn't this cool?

Here, come on.

Look back in the camera.

Try it again.

And you push that.

Look in there and push--

My gosh. Yeah.

You can't see, right?

- Hey, Eric.

- That's very smart. Yeah.

- You want to hug your sister?

- Yeah. Come on.

Just a little bit.

Get a little closer.

Come on,

you guys love each other.

- You need a little hug.

- A little closer.

- Come on.

- Extend the arm.

Come on. Come on, Eric.

You can do it

a little better than that.

I mean,

that's your sister, right?

That's very good.

You love your sister, don't you?

What about you, Oleg?

You want to be in the film

as well, don't you?

My stomach hurts.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Sure.

I will just hold on to this.

You go outside,

you take a right...

and then a left.

Hurry up though.

You're missing out.

Who wants to play dress-up?

Good, dress-up.

We have the Burning Rocket

and the Volts.

There you are.

I thought you needed

to go to the bathroom.

I couldn't find it.

Silly boy.

I told you to take a right,

then a left.

Come.

I will show you.

Don't forget to wash your hands

when you're done.

Joe?

Mrs. Gazelle?

Who is this?

- Is this--

- Oleg.

I am sorry about taking the gun,

Mrs. Gazelle.

Oleg, where are you?

I think I am in trouble.

Sweetheart,

I know what happened, OK?

I need you to be

straight up with me.

Are the police listening

in on this call?

No, I am not with the police.

I am at Dez and Edele's apartment.

There's 2 other kids here.

What?

I--I think they are

going to hurt us.

Jesus.

Come on. No.

Is this some kind of a joke?

Oleg, you have caused

enough trouble today.

Where are you?

I don't know.

I was in the back of a van.

They brought us here.

They got this room

with all these toys in it.

They're making a video.

OK, OK. Oleg,

I need you to look around...

for an address for me, OK?

Is there any mail

laying around?

I am in the bathroom.

She's going to come back any minute.

Bathroom. Jesus,

I don't know, I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Just call 911.

No. I don't want to go

back to the police.

Why?

They want me to say

I got the gun from Mr. Gazelle.

Do you need

some help in there?

I am OK.

It's my stomach.

I am almost done.

You poor thing.

Well, I am right outside.

- Oleg.

- I am still here.

OK.

OK, so look

in the medicine cabinet.

Do you see any bottles?

Prescription bottles usually have

the address on the front label.

Do you see anything?

Is there anything in there?

Oleg, what--

what's happening?

Oleg, it's Dez.

You want to open up, please?

Oleg.

OK. Oleg?

- Come on.

- Oleg?

- Oleg.

- Oleg!

What is--

what's going on?

Oleg!

Just open the door.

Mrs. Gazelle, I got a bottle.

So, now read me the address.

Oleg! Let's go! Open the door!

- Oleg?

- Come on! Oleg!

Jesus!

Wake up, wake up.

We got to go get Oleg.

Come on, put your coat on.

I thought he was in jail.

Hey, homes.

I got a busted headlight.

Hey, Lester, my man.

Who got over on you, bro?

Some puta

who's forwarding address...

is going to be

in 10 different zip codes...

all of them dumpsters.

I got you covered

by tomorrow night.

Hey, check this out.
