The Prince Page #3

we'd be sitting in a bar,

and I could tell my nephew

to tell you whatever you wanna know.

I don't know where

she is, man, I swear.

We went out a few times.

She started getting into harder stuff...

heroin... but I don't do that sh*t.

It's not what I do.

Where is she?

Last I knew, she was

with The Pharmacy.

You left her at a pharmacy?

The Pharmacy is a scumbag drug

dealer named Tony Martinez.

Yeah, he works out of a

warehouse on the east side.

Where?

23rd and Atlantic.

I'd appreciate...

That you don't talk about

this conversation.

You have my word.

Oh... Stuart's...

I ran out of ammo.

Oh, that guy gives

me the creeps, man.

Beth's my friend, all right?

I'm not just gonna get in

the car and turn around.

What part didn't you

understand about?

Aren't you glad I'm here?

- I'm driving.

- What would you have done?

I'm driving.

Move over.

- Are you gonna take a taxi?

- Let's go.

Go, go.

Come on. Let's go.

Remind me again who this guy is.

Former boxer, been talking

behind your back.

Making himself appear like...

Somebody connected to you.

I heard local vice has taken

a vested interest in him.

Okay.

Donny Musical.

How could you forget that name?

Everybody says you're a real punk.

Now you've been making

problems for me...

My family.

My family and my friends,

you make promises you can't keep.

Borrow money you can't repay.

Down here... You can't

get away with that sh*t.

Don't say anything just yet.

You can do all this bullshit

posturing in L.A. and New York,

but you can't do it down here.

Not in my city.

You think that's gonna

impress anybody?

Donny... nothing is more important

than your name.

And you've been using mine.

You cheated me...

you went behind my back

and took something that

didn't belong to you, Donny.

I'm not gonna forgive you.

Only God forgives.

Bye-bye, Donny.

Uhh!

It's definitely him.

It's been 20 years since

he's been seen in the city.

How can you be so sure?

O'Reilly took special interest as

soon as he walked in the door.

You bring him to me.

Now, do you understand?

We're tailing him now.

Boss, I know you don't

want to hear this,

but you pay me a lot of money

to give you honest counsel.

Let this one go.

Let what go?

What are you talking about?

Think I can let it go?

You get some people... now.

The best people you can get.

If The Prince is here...

Bring him to me.

Get up as close to him as you can.

So, Beth's dad...

Where are we going?

I'm taking you home.

You're gonna go to

the train station...

- I don't...

- ...'Cause that's best for everybody.

I don't want to go.

I am not going.

Pull over!

Down!

You're okay.

Stay down.

Uhh!

Stay in the car.

Who you working for?

F*** you.

Who you working for?

Who f***in' sent you?

- Open up, open up!

- No. No.

There you go.

Who... sent you?

I'm gonna blow your f***in' eyes

out right now. Who sent you?

Omar.

Omar.

Well, you tell f***in' Omar

that I'm passing through,

and he better f***in'

let me pass through.

You remember that?

Wilson's dead.

Joe's in the hospital, but it doesn't

look like he's gonna make it.

I told you to put your

best people on it.

We can do that, but we

don't have much to go on.

The guys at the bar aren't talking.

He's here looking

for a girl, an addict.

That's all we know.

I don't care what it takes.

I feel like I would be remiss...

If I did not reiterate my position.

Your position?

People that have limbs

that are amputated

still feel the pain in that limb,

even though it's not there.

That's the pain that I feel.

Every time I look, I mean...

I see his face.

I feel that pain, and I see

him looking back at me.

We have a chance to get him.

Right now.

Let's go get him.

Just take a breath.

You're gonna be okay.

How the f*** am I

supposed to be okay?

I just...

Just watched you kill someone.

One second, I'm at a college party.

The next second, I'm in New

Orleans, getting shot at.

I need some answers!

Why are they after you? Why?

- What do you want?

- Who are they?

What do you have in here?

What do you want?

- What do you want?

- I don't want anything!

You want some pills?

You want some pot?

- Want some booze?

- No, I want the truth!

- Want some pot? What do you want?

- Look at me! Look at me!

You owe this to me!

- Will you be quiet?

- No, I want the truth.

Why are there a bunch of men after

a f***ing mechanic from Mississippi?

What do they want with you?

Who are you?

I'm not a mechanic from Mississippi.

I was born two blocks from here.

You can see the shitty little

smokestack and the tenement.

I wasn't a mechanic, I was just a

piece of sh*t running the streets.

And I got in a situation where I could

go to jail or I can go to the military,

so, obviously, I took the military.

After months, lots and

lots of enemies here.

And I was good.

Why are they after us now?

Because I went and I came back,

and you come back to what?

I come back to this.

And so I had one

opportunity, I thought,

that would get me out,

and of course I took it.

And, of course, I took

the next one after that,

and the next one and the next one,

and I was what I always was,

which is nothing and a liar.

What do they want with you?

I did something 20

years ago for these...

For what? What?

What?

He was, uh, trying to

take over the city,

and it didn't matter

who he eliminated.

And there were lots. Lots.

The violence got to a point where,

uh, he needed to be stopped.

At the end of the day,

you know who's gonna be here?

- He needed to be stopped.

- You, Daddy.

I love you. Are you okay?

Mm, yeah, kind of.

I miss you.

Come here.

Mm... daddy's girl.

Mmm...

Come here.

Go run over to mommy, yeah?

- Okay.

- Oh, hey!

Look what I have.

What do you have?

This is a present for you on the

first day of school, puppy.

- Thank you.

- Don't open it till you get to class.

Ohh.

Come on, silly,

we don't want to be late.

- Oh, she won't be late.

- Bye, Daddy.

Bye, baby.

Oh, I'm taking your car, okay?

All right. All right.

Rachel, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I wanna get a picture of you guys.

Cheese!

I love you.

I love you. Bye, honey.

Have fun at school.

Here you go.

And I tried to stop it,

but it was too late.

It was too late to...

it was too late for me.

It was too late for her.

And I'll never forget

the look in her eyes.

Not that I deserve pity for that.

'Cause I don't.

It's just a fact.

So it drove me out of here,

and I left everything.

And woke up somewhere.

I don't know where.

F***ing in a bottle.

And that's where Anna Marie

came in and lifted me up.

Stupidly loved me...

And 12-stepped me to the altar.

And Beth was an accident.

A happy accident.

A blessed accident.

But I can't have it.

What am I gonna do with a child?

I can nurture a child with my tools?

They're gonna kill Beth if

I don't get to her first.

What?

They're gonna try to kill me,

and they'll kill you.

So I need you to listen to me
