The Prince Page #5

You see, I got a call from my man.

Omar.

Yeah, that's right.

He told me you'd show up.

Said to keep you here

on ice till he gets here.

And the girl.

Because he got something special

planned for your baby girl.

Close your eyes, baby.

There we go. Hold on.

Keep your eyes closed.

Don't open your eyes.

No, no, we didn't do anything!

I swear, I swear!

We told you to keep them on ice.

Where are they?

They're gone.

Look at that.

You got the 12-year.

Yeah.

A celebration here.

You ready?

Yeah, hold on.

You don't want to waste the

good stuff on a bad shot.

How long till you can

get us out of here?

I'm working on it.

How soon?

I'll handle it.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Is word out yet?

Everybody knows you're back.

I knew that'd happen.

Glad it worked out.

We've got him.

A man with a bullet wound showed

up this morning at the battle house.

He had a girl with him who

looked pretty strung out.

Makes sense they would go

to Sam's for sanctuary.

Let everybody know.

Do not cross my line.

Hey.

Hi.

You look pretty.

You look like sh*t.

How are you feeling?

She threw up again,

so she should be feeling better.

It's gonna get worse.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go get a soda.

- Do you want anything?

- No.

But I need you to get

her ready to travel.

We have to leave. Okay?

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Hey, you.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

I know you are.

Just gonna get you home, okay?

I... I don't think I can go.

Of course you can.

Everything's changed.

Not with me, it hasn't.

You're the only reason

I keep going, Beth.

I don't know what home is anymore.

We'll find it.

Switch them around. Just you with me.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

- Say good night.

I really wish you guys

were coming with me.

I can't protect you both.

I understand.

Well, will you call me

when you get home safely?

Yeah.

Don't be too hard on her.

I won't.

Come on, guys.

Wait on the corner for the tail.

That's high cotton, blood.

Jesus Christ.

My heart's pounding.

That Montecristo's

not helping, is it?

No.

It's the adrenaline.

Yeah.

It's the only thing I miss.

Nobody makes it through.

Copy that.

Remember that third street tavern?

Remember that f***in' clusterfuck?

You got your shoulder all shot up.

Jesus Christ, were we sh*t-faced.

I don't know how we stumbled

out of there and lived.

Do you think it was money, Sam?

Is that what it was all about?

That's what we thought, right?

Move in.

Copy.

Get her out of here, come on!

He's got a gun! He's got a gun!

Uhh!

"Nobody gets hurt."

You motherf***er.

Get in.

Just keep 'em off as long as you can.

Keep 'em off.

I got a daughter of my own.

Whatever you need...

It's yours.

All right.

Close the door on your way out.

Please, I just...

I just wanna go home.

Where's home?

Ponto... Pontotoc.

- What?

- Pontotoc.

What's Pontotoc?

Pontotoc, Mississippi.

I used to work with your father.

We knew each other.

What?

He took everything from me.

Your father did.

Everything.

But you and I can ask him why...

When he comes here... to see you.

And you and I are just gonna sit here

and wait for him till he gets here.

Why?

Baby... stop the scratching.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Please just let me go home.

Listen to me... when we get there,

it'll be 11 minutes before

a response team shows up.

So if we're not out that door

by then, you have to go.

You get in your car and you

drive and you don't look back.

- You don't come back.

- Okay.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Is that okay?

Yep.

He's here.

Hey. Hey.

Let's go, come on. Come on, get up.

We gotta go.

Paul!

Say, "Hi, Daddy.

I'm a little scared."

Daddy. Daddy.

- Louder.

- Daddy.

"Daddy"!

- Yeah.

- Daddy!

That's right! "Daddy"!

Is this what you want?

- No!

- Is this enough?!

Let her go and I'll

let you walk away.

You'll never see me again.

That's enough anymore!

You want me? You take me.

I want you to know

what it's like to lose

the only thing that you

ever loved in your life.

You ready?

You chose this life, we chose

this life, and that's the cost.

What about my wife and child?!

What did they have to do with it?

What?!

Please don't!

Collateral damage. It was a war.

And you...

Are gonna lose the only thing

that you ever loved in your life.

Say bye.

Tell him you love him.

- No, don't...

- Tell him!

- Please don't!

- Say it!

Say, "I love you, Daddy"!

I'm gonna give you one more chance.

No... please...

Having a good time. Good time.

Mm-hmm.

Shh, shh, shh. Quiet now.

See him? See him?

Come on, come on, come on.

All right, all right, all right.

Good girl. Good girl.

You're very brave. Very brave.

See him?

There he is. Daddy.

Hi, Daddy. Say hi.

One...

Two...

Shut up. Shut the f*** up.

Shoot now.

Shoot now.

Let's go home.
