He's the only one

you can trust.

No, I'm not...

To the courthouse.

You stay with me.

Just stay... Just...

He's the only

one you can trust,

no one else.

No, I'm not trusting anybody.

You understand?

You're gonna stay

right here, okay?

You're gonna take it

to the judge.

You're gonna do this.

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna

be fine, okay?

You're gonna be fine.

I want you to say it,

just say it.

It rests on you.

No, this doesn't

rest on me.

This rests on you.

This rests on you.

Now, you say it. You say...

It's up to you now.

No, it's not on me.

You st...

You stay with me.

Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

This is yours.

This isn't on me.

This isn't on me!

God damn it!

I can't do this!

Hey, it's Angie.

You know what to do.

Give me your wallet.

I said

give me your wallet!

Get out of here.

Listen here,

give me your wallet

or I'll stick you, man.

Hey! Hey!

Are you deaf?

Get out of here.

This is your chance.

Now go.

We just picked up a call to 911

about a dead woman

in a parking garage.

Caller

sounded distressed.

You feeling

any better now?

So how much did our

friend, Rachel Shabangu,

tell you

before she died?

You killed her.

Hey, hey, hey,

easy there, big boy.

Look, Michael,

I'm not the one

just out of jail for hit and run, okay?

It was an accident,

and I paid my dues.

You don't know me.

You do seem to have

a bit of a knack

at being in the wrong

place at the wrong time,

don't you, Mr. Woods?

Anyway,

here's the situation.

You've broken

your parole conditions,

making you

a wanted felon.

You're alone in a city

you've never been to before,

whereas I,

on the other hand,

have access to the

entire police force here.

I know

the car you're in.

I know its color,

its plates.

I also have people

waiting for your ex-wife

to take one step

out of that embassy.

One step,

and she's mine.

So what

are you gonna do?

There is one more thing

I thought might help you

make the right choice here.

Why don't you

turn on your radio?

...and have released his picture

and name to the media.

American Michael Woods

is wanted for the murder

of National Prosecutor

Rachel Shabangu...

So let's say you make the

enlightened choice here

and just stay

out of my way, okay?

Cookie boy.

What?

That's what my father used

to always call me, Cookie boy.

Said I'd always crack

under pressure.

Said I'd always crumble

like a cookie.

He was a mean bastard.

Tough life, huh?

You know,

that chuckle of yours,

it reminds me of him,

'cause he had one

just like it,

a sadistic-ass chuckle.

And, you know,

even though he's dead,

every time I screw up,

I can still hear it.

Are you a mean bastard,

Detective Smith?

Be very, very careful here.

'Cause you know

what's more powerful

than a mean bastard

with too much power?

You're playing with fire.

A man with nothing to lose,

Detective Smith.

I will kill you.

So you asked me

to choose.

Okay.

I choose.

I choose f*** you.

...sex

trafficking ring...

The Chief of Police...

I tried to...

Judge James Mzuka.

James Mzuka.

Judge James...

Afrikom

Information, how may I help you?

Yeah, I need the phone number

for Judge James Mzuka.

Ah, here we go.

Would you like me

to connect you?

Yes.

Please hold.

Hi, this is

Judge James Mzuka.

Hey.

Please leave a message

after the tone.

My name is Michael Woods.

I have Rachel Shabangu's

recorded testimony.

They killed her,

and they tried to kill me.

I'm coming in.

I'm gonna bring it

to the courthouse.

Hey, it's Angie.

You know what to do.

Remember that night

when you had on

that yellow dress...

the new one,

and it was raining?

And I was running around,

trying to catch

all the raindrops

to keep you

from getting wet?

We were laughing so hard,

our stomachs hurt.

Yeah, you and me,

we used to have some...

some good times, Angie.

Uh, these people...

These people are gonna

tell you things.

I don't know exactly what

they're gonna tell you,

but I know

they're gonna tell you

that I killed somebody,

but it's not true.

And I'm gonna

prove that to you.

I'm gonna prove that

to everybody,

even if it kills me.

I'm just trying

to make up right now

for every wrong turn

I've ever made.

I'm just trying

to do the right thing,

and right now,

unfortunately,

my only chance

of getting back to you,

my only chance of ever

even seeing you again

is to clear my name.

This is the only way.

Yeah, it's the only way,

so just know

that I'm sorry.

I hope

you understand, and...

and I love you forever.

You lost something?

I need my car sprayed.

You've got this look,

doesn't quite fit

your pretty face, huh?

That's the look

of a man on fire.

Are you on fire,

Mr. A-merican in a minivan?

I don't have any money.

You're right

out there, huh?

Just burning up.

You see, when a man

is on fire like you,

usually everything

seems perfectly clear.

But you don't

have clarity, huh?

'Cause you seem to have

mistaken me for Mother Teresa.

You know how much

a can of spray costs?

This is knock-off, man.

You get this

in a cereal box.

That's all I got, man.

I don't need a pro job,

just change the color.

Ride on back.

All right,

I gotta get out of here.

Places to go, things to do.

I get you, man.

Now, boys, come on,

wrap it up, huh?

Man on a mission,

got to go!

Yeah, I got to go. Come on.

Come on, boys! Come on!

Hey, how do I get

to the courthouse?

Just off Diagonal,

third right,

you'll see the big steps.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hello. Am I speaking

with Michael Woods?

You called me?

Yeah, who is this?

My name is Judge Mzuka.

There was a message

about Rachel.

Yeah, yeah,

I have her, uh...

I have her testimony.

She recorded it

before she died.

Listen, what you have

in your possession

is the best chance we're ever

going to have of convicting him.

It's the only chance

we've got.

I need that...

Yeah.

and I need it now.

Yeah, I'm on my way to

the courthouse right now.

No, no,

no, no, no, no.

They'll kill you

on sight.

Well, they won't know,

though, 'cause I had my van...

I had the whole thing

sprayed,

and they won't

be able to tell I got...

You don't understand.

There's a shoot on sight

order out on you.

There are

police everywhere.

The courthouse is the worst

place you could possibly go.

That's exactly where

they're expecting you to go.

I have to.

That's suicide, Mr. Woods.

I promised her.

Look, I can come to you.

Just tell me where you are.

Talking on your cell phone

and operating a vehicle

is illegal.

You do realize that.

May I see your license,

please?

Can I see your license, sir?

Sir,

I need to see your license.

Step out of the car, sir.

Sir, step out of the car!

You, stay put!

What happened?

Aw, just...

It was a cop,

but he's gone now.

He left.

Michael, listen to me.

It's too dangerous.

Do not go anywhere now.

I'm going to send someone.

Just tell me

where you are.

Um...

Hello? Michael,
