Kneel on the ground now!

Okay.

- Show me your palms, both of you!

But she cut my face!

Who do I talk to about that?

Doug, shut up.

- Put the weapon down!

Put your hands in the air!

- Just put the gun down.

Do it now!

- Okay, put the gun down.

We're okay, we're okay.

Put the f***ing gun down, man.

Put the gun down!

Obviously f***in--

Oh, you're so original, Doug.

So f***ing original.

Shut up!

- Aaahhhhh!!!

Look at me, bro, look at me!

Don't do that! Don't do that!

Don't do that!

Hey, please, just relax! Doug.

Aaahhh!

- She's not f***in' worth it.

F***ing do it, Doug, do it!

Keep her back! Please! Doug!

Doug, look at me. Look at me.

Don't f***in' do that, please.

Don't do that, buddy, don't do that.

Put the gun down.

Bro.

Put the gun down.

Take him!

- Hey, hey!

Relax, relax, relax!

F***, my feet!

Get down, get down, get down!

Why the hell you do this, man?

- You think I'm enjoying this, huh?!

I know you're enjoying this!

... comes up in my face

with a gun.

You're always gettin' me

into something!

Let me be.

- Let you be?

That's what I shoulda did.

Yeah, I shoulda let your ass be,

so you'd be up for murder!

Think I'm enjoying this now?!

You are enjoying this sh*t!

You enjoy f***ing your life up,

and mine! Sh*t!

Mine's just a bonus!

Shut up!

Shut up, man!

This sh*t is not funny, man.

... I don't care.

I just want him off my property...

So...

You're the one that tried

to contain the situation?

Who, me?

Not you, convict.

You.

Kowalski, help me with this guy.

Hey...

you're not gonna make

a racial complaint, are you?

What?

Can you just get these off me,

please?

Come over here;

I still need your statement.

It's been real, Doug.

- Later!

Have a seat.

- Much!

From the beginning.

Where did you come in on this?

Yo, Rosh...

Roshanna, come on!

What?

Come on, man, come visit me.

Co... Wh...?

Did you look at my feet?

Did you see what you did?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Wanna go take a look

at the f***in' door too, Doug?

Come visit me, I'm sorry.

Come on, Roshanna.

- Let it go!

Come on!

- Let it go, Doug.

I love you.

I love you.

Hello?

No.

Well, I just called the police.

I am the neighbourhood-watch

lieutenant, you know.

Yeah, I just thought that,

you know, it's strange -

I mean, you don't usually see...

you know,

window washers after 6 p.m.

Mm...

Where's my Rocky Road?

Hmm?

Sh*t.

- Aw...

I'm sorry, baby.

- Oh, come on.

I'll go get it.

- Hurry up.

... An Amber Alert

was issued around 1 0 a.m.

Police describe the boy

as less than 1 0 years old.

He does not speak English

and was last seen

wearing a dark suit...

Who wants to play?

I'll give you the first move.

I'll give you the first three moves.

I'll give you five, six moves!

I'll move three moves for you!

What do you say? Huh?

You're not sure? Come on.

Let's make a deal.

Let's an appointment.

Call me on your blueberry.

Or, better yet, you can email me

Hey, little man.

Lookin' sharp.

What you got there?

Mm...

Oooh, Canada.

Cool.

So what do you say?

I don't usually play

with little men in suits,

but it's a slow night so...

you want a game?

Henry.

Ah, no. Ah, no, no, no.

Now no game, no. No.

Come on, Henry,

you know the rules.

Time to clear out.

There's no--

... playing chess in the station.

I know, I know.

I know,

'cause what would happen

if everybody played chess

at the station?

You'd have people sitting around--

Hey!

Don't do that.

Okay.

Okay.

Can you, um--

Y eah.

- Can you do that, please?

Sure.

... Police are quite concerned,

because he's been

without food or water

for some time

and is likely confused and lost.

Oh.

Okay, good.

Good, you're right here.

I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?

I have to take you someplace safe.

Okay? 'Cause it's not safe here.

So you have to come with me,

okay?

You have to come with me.

Okay? All right, so...

Okay...

Ugh!

Oh, what are you doing?

What are you...?

Give me that piece.

Give it to me.

Give me the piece. Give it.

Gimme... What... what are you...?

Don't put it in your pocket,

gimme the piece!

I am gonna get somebody...

Uh... not him.

I'm gonna get somebody to help us.

Okay, so you stay there,

and I'll be back, okay?

You trippin', Henry?

No. No, I'm not. I saw him.

He was here, Charlie.

- There's no one here.

I know that. I know that.

We have to find him.

No, Henry. I don't think

you know the difference

between what's real

and what isn't.

I do. I do.

- You do? Okay, look.

You have to get out of here,

or I'm gonna have to throw you out.

You understand that?

- Okay.

It's him.

I did see him.

Anybody see

a little... Iittle kid, uh...

uh, a sharp-dressed little boy?

Come on, did anybody see a...

... boy.

Hey, get back here!

Argh!

Ahhh!

Ahhhh!

Okay, Henry, that's it.

- No!

I warned you. Come on!

- No! No!!!

Come on, this way.

- No!!!

Come on, calm down.

- No!!!

Henry, come on.

Don't make me hurt you.

Henry!

Don't try coming back in here,

all right?! You've been warned!

Ahhh!

Oh, you shouldn't have done that!

Don't you know people can drown

in two inches of water?!

Don't you know that?

Don't you know that?

Yeah, Henry...

... he's fine.

You all right?

Just gotta get some food into ya.

... chicken soup.

Remember that guy?

We always see him

at the bus stations

and the train stations?

Nah, I don't know

who you're talking about.

The guy from the train station?

Uh... J...

Oh, uh... Jake... Johnny!

Johnny!

- Johnny.

Yes, that's it, right.

Well, apparently,

Johnny's the guy

who's got that kid's pictures up

all over the city.

No way...

- Where the f*** is he?!

Where the f*** is he?

Tell me where the f*** he is!

- I don't know!

Tell me where he is!

- I dunno, man!

He doesn't know anything!

- Get the f*** off me!

Is there a problem here?

No. No problem.

Right, Eddie?

Right?!

No, man, there's no problem.

Henry, I'm surprised at you,

you're usually the gentle...

Henry!

- Huh...

Waiting for the world

to come home

Everybody's gone

I'm here all alone

Waiting for the world

To come home

Waiting for the world

To come knockin' on my door

Just like it did before

Waiting for the world

To be born

Free from this shadow

I want

To be lost no more

I'm waiting for the world

To...

Be born

Henry.

I need...

I need money.

Okay.

That's...

that's all that I have right now.

No. No, no, no, no.

I... I need more.

I need more, Beth.

It's important.

Why?

Please!

It's important!

Please.

Okay. Give me a second.

Oh, no...

Oh...

Ahhhh!

Daddy!

No, no, no! No!

- What?

Oh, sh*t!

Shhh. It's okay.

Listen. Listen.

Listen to me, it's on a timer.

I have to go.

- Okay?

And I never swim in it, Henry.

- I have to go.

You need to stay here
