what they want.

Is it wont dying for?

It always was.

Ramon Gomez.

Whatever you were gonna

give to me, give to him.

If you're gonna

run a company...

trust your instincts.

You got what it takes.

Be careful with those things.

They can be dangerous...

if you can get 'em to work.

Paige! What happened?

Paige! Answer me!

I don't know how you work on that

junk, that antiquated typewriter.

You gotta change to a computer.

I can hook it up for you. No, no!

I think the idea

of this is right.

Yeah?

Not your computer.

Not the computer?

Oh, no, no, no.

Umm...

well, an old man...

is an old man.

I have nothing to...

to lose except that...

as long as you

remain with me.

Stop sliding around with your

gun like some paranoid drug lord.

If somebody wanted to get you, they'd

probably just blow up your little house.

Cat?

I'm the one asking

the questions here.

What are you

doing here?

Depends.

On what?

Define that thing

you said.

Define it.

I can't believe you're here.

Don't change the subject.

Define it.

Mmm!

Be more specific.

# I was wounded #

KCRW, a community service

of Santa Monica college...

and national public radio.

# She tucks me in

and then she screams #

# one day you will

have to choose #

what a city.

Nothing like it.

If we could see it.

Are you Doc?

Yeah.

So, you, uh...

uuh!

Oh!

Come here!

Don't move, don't move. My

god, they could shoot anybody.

Come on, kids, come on.

Mommy.

I'll spare you

the speech.

3,500 murders

last year.

Anything that helps you

see the truth is good.

Ray is the traitor.

Ray dug his own grave. You don't

change your mind on the battlefield.

At least I knew

you wouldn't.

They said, get us someone

who'll risk her life.

I said, I'll get you

somebody who owes us her life,

who owes us

for her salvation,

a woman whose husband was killed

in front of her eyes.

I don't know why I'm trying

to cheer you up.

I'm the one who had to shut down

this whole operation.

We were trying to do

something good.

Ray was trying

to do something good.

Ray was doing

something stupid.

You're good, Mathilda.

People with good intentions

aren't enough.

Changing things takes guts.

Changing yourself...

that takes guts.

Listen to us.

A couple of killers...

trying to change the world.

I'm finished.

I've paid you back.

We are even now.

I'm gonna

take my daughter...

and start my life over.

And if you think

that you still own me...

then you can shoot me

in the back.

Mathilda!

Habla espanol?

Poco.

- How poco?

- Very poco.

Why don't you

teach me some?

Uhh...

madre.

Mm-hmm.

- Los Angeles.

- Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.

- Sky.

- Cielo.

I thought cielo

meant heaven.

Cielo means

both heaven and sky.

They're watching us.

Mommy!

Don't get too close

to the edge.

Funny. Just when you think

you've got it all figured,

in a heartbeat

it changes again.

Thing is,

all those years while I was

waiting for that sudden attack,

I became the enemy.

And when the enemy I'd expected

finally came,

they set me free.

It's strange, hmm?

Now, when I look over

the ocean...

I don't expect nuclear submarines

or alien attackers anymore.

I can see china now,

and I hope they can see us.

# It's a beautiful day today #

# everything is going my way #

# even the words

doing what I say #

# oh, babe

got to get away #

# to be impossible #

# isn't that difficult #

# in the city you're invisible #

# when you come from

a small town #

# everything is all right #

# I'm not your baby #

# please #

# tourist in a traffic jam #

# baby sham and handy cam #

# I'm not your mother

you're not my man #

# I'm not your baby #

# don't treat me

like I'm a trick #

# I won't treat you

like you're a prick #

# don't need no doctor

I'm not ill #

# I'm not your baby #

# everything is all right #

# I'm not your baby #

# please #

# cut out the poetry #

# let's hit the main artery #

# no time for a "tourniquey" #

# the colors all run out on me #

# you brought me

all kinds of goods #

# now my heart is so full up

it hurts #

# it's heavy as a shopping bag #

# it's full of things

I should give back #

# everything is all right #

# I'm not your baby #

# please #

# I'm not your baby #

# I'm not your baby #

# don't want you to cover me #

# smother me or mother me #

# I like to feel

this incomplete #

# I'm not your baby #

# everything is all right #

# I'm not your baby #

# please #

# feel not dizzy, just busy #

# didn't drink nothing fizzy #

# no pills to feel easy #

# don't know what got into me #

# daylight's a kind of robbery #

# the night is your geography #

# so you're not white

you're pink and rosy #

# could be right

but you're way above me #

# me, I'm in recovery #

# a star of pornography #

# I'm a tourist

there's a lot to see #

# you don't like

the photographs of me #

# so you've got a lot to say #

# you don't sleep around

but sometimes you stray #

# you don't believe

often times you pray #

# for something

what is it, babe #
