or you gonna be reunited

with your moms real quick,

you got that?

I got it.

Hey, Mommy,

you want another baby daddy?

Jerk.

You got two days to pay

or I'll kill you.

So long.

Yo, fatty had a party,

what you lookin' at, man?

I ain't no box of Twinkies, yo.

Take the stairs.

Hello?

Jesus!

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I thought you left.

What?

Why are you back?

Oh, um, I forgot something.

Oh, yeah, what'd you forgot?

You forgot to hit me again?

No.

Yeah, well I'm taking

my sh*t and I'm leaving.

Okay.

Do you know where my

watches are by any chance?

I didn't touch your

stupid watches.

I was just asking

where they were.

I have no idea, but if I did

I'd take them and

I'd sell them shits.

You took my money,

Leon, and you know it.

I worked my ass off

and you just took it!

Let me get that for you.

Don't touch my stuff!

I was just trying to help.

Leon, one day you're

gonna get yours.

You're gonna get yours.

Go to hell.

Man, this guy is a jerk.

Come on.

Come on.

Where?

Where, where?

What the crap?

What the crap?

Oh, my God.

What is that?

Ahhh!

What the...

Hey.

Ahhh!

I don't know who you are,

but you're dead.

Hi.

It's no use. I tied

you down pretty good.

Just tell me where you hide

your watches and I'll split.

You finished?

Look, I don't wanna hurt you.

I'm not a bad person.

I just gotta take

care of some things

and do right by my mother.

Okay?

I don't know who put

you up to this, fat boy,

but I'm gonna cut a slab

of bacon off your back.

That's rude.

And I'm not fat,

I'm big-boned.

Oh, well, suit yourself.

But you'll be sorry.

I heard somebody's

not cooperating.

You done?

I'm gonna make this easy.

The watches?

You gotta know

you can't hide looking

the way you do.

I'll take my chances.

The watches.

There's a fake wall behind

the bathroom mirror.

So here's

how we're gonna do this.

I'm gonna take your

watches, tase you,

and you're gonna wake up in

your bed like it's a bad dream.

Wow.

That was a great hiding spot.

Okay, you ready?

Be careful with that, man,

that's not a regular Taser.

That's weapons-grade sh*t!

I'm sorry, man.

I have to do this, it's the only way.

Yo, boss!

Yo!

Oh, crap.

You scream and I will tase you

and throw you out the back window.

You got that?

Now, who is that?

That's my boys.

We've got business.

And when they see you,

they're gonna just about

break you in half.

What kind of business?

Gotta pick up my money, b*tch.

How much money?

What the hell is it to you?

Fifty large.

$50,000?

Hey, boss.

Hey.

New coat?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Gotta make a quick stop, boss.

Got a little surprise for you.

I just wanna pick up my money.

It's on the way.

You're gonna like this.

Hey, boss,

remember our old friend Patrick?

Patrick the Ratprick.

I didn't know it was you, Leon.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

We found Ratprick

down in Philly.

B*tch tried to run.

No more.

No more, please. Please.

No more? Okay.

Okay.

Bye-bye, Ratprick.

No, don't! Hold on!

Stop, stop, stop!

Okay, boss,

what do you want to do?

I don't know.

I gotta think about this.

Is there a bathroom around here?

What?

I gotta pee.

Oh man, oh man, oh man.

Oh man, oh man.

You should not be here.

You should not be here.

You should not be here.

You can do this.

You sorry for what

you did, Ratprick?

Yeah.

And you're never

gonna do it again?

No.

Okay, I believe you.

You believe me?

He believes me.

Let him go.

Let him go?

That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

Maybe take him to the hospital,

he's in bad shape.

Boss, he stole from us.

I know!

The guy apologized.

Just do what I said.

I'm the boss, right?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Leon, follow me.

You stay here.

Good evening,

Mr. Ludlow.

I am making duck ragu.

First time,

very tricky business.

Do you like duck, Leon?

I don't know.

Yeah, me neither.

I'm a Jew from Queens.

What do I know from duck?

Are you okay, Leon?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Good. I am ready to move forward

on the Grand Street deal.

I will need the trash

taken out before Friday.

You get the rest

when the job is done.

Okay.

There is no margin

for error on this one.

None. None. You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

Maybe you'll stop by for some

duck ragu when you're through.

Holy crap.

Okay, Ludlow, it's time.

Welcome home, Mommy.

Turn around.

So where are your friends at, huh?

What?

The fat kid,

the guy that looks like me.

No, it's just me.

Damn, you ugly.

And what have we here, hmm?

Thought you were gonna

steal my watches, huh?

Don't shoot me, please.

Oh, don't worry.

I ain't gonna

shoot you, she-man.

I am gonna choke you to death.

Shoeman!

Hey.

No.

No.

Oh, my God.

What the crap?

What the crap?

Thank you.

Hey.

Yeah, what do you need?

I'd like to report a crime.

What kind of crime?

Murder.

I killed a man, but by accident.

Why don't you have a seat?

You unlawfully entered the

alleged victim's house?

Yes. His girlfriend

let me in.

His ex-girlfriend.

They broke up.

I think he was hitting her.

So, why did she let you in?

Because I looked just like him.

But you don't look like him now.

No, not at all.

He is black.

And you said that you

killed him with a...

Stiletto heel.

Yes, that's right.

Six-inch platform, molded plastic,

but with metal tube reinforcement.

Not great quality,

but it did the trick,

unfortunately.

Right.

Right.

The body is just

right in the living room.

You might wanna

stay out here. It's...

It's pretty ugly in there.

What the hell?

The body was right here.

There was blood everywhere.

He was dead. I swear.

Where are my shoes?

There was a blue bag here

with my shoes in it

and $50,000 cash

and a gun

and my Taser.

Where's my Taser?

It's all gone.

In fact, there was

a whole cache of guns.

What the hell?

Something screwy's going on.

We need to get some

leads or something.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm telling you,

he was dead. I...

I killed him.

Guys, I mean, should

we question the super?

Maybe he knows.

Sir, let go of the door.

Like...

I'm telling you the truth!

You gotta be kidding me.

What the crap is going on?

Gotta stop this.

Max.

Hey, Jimmy.

You leaving?

You just got here.

Yeah. I gotta go

take care of somethin'.

It's peak hours.

What's so important?

Don't worry about it.

What are you doing?

I'm worried, okay. What's going on?

One second. What?

You've been running around half-cocked

since your mother passed away.

Will you just be

straight with me?

All right, look, I took some

money that doesn't belong to me,

and I gotta go give it

back. All right?

No.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Whoa, whoa!

Damn it, Jimmy.

Why did you do that?

'Cause I'm trying to stop you

from screwing up your life.

Your shop's closed half the time.

You're acting all crazy.

I'm not blind, Max. I know where

this is going. I've seen it before.

You have not seen

this before. Trust me.

Oh, yes, I have.

You know with who? Your father.
