Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) Movie Script

1
(siren blaring)
("Bad Boys" by Sean Paul
and Trueno): Rapapam
Los wachos fumando
como un rastaman
Las wachas posando
pa las cmaras
Yo dejo el bajo sonando
Uh, yo tengo
una vaina distinta, mai
S como hacerlo,
como nadie te va a tratar
Deja que toda esta vibra
te pase en el cuerpo
As baila desacata
Bad shorty, good body...
(Marcus screaming)
(gasping)
Hey, slow down, Mike.
Okay? You're making me sick.
I would slow down if you hadn't
already made us late.
(engine revving)
Estn llegando en mvil
Toda argentina
con Sean Paul...
W-We're not late, okay?
You're just anxious.
No, I'm anxious
'cause you made us late.
And I'm not doing this with you
in the next phase of our lives.
You're gonna respect my time.
(tires squealing)
(Marcus groaning)
My stomach. My stomach.
Hey, Mike, look.
Pull over at that store
right there.
I need a ginger ale.
Look, we don't have no time
to get no ginger ale, man.
Come on, Mike, I'm sick.
You're freaking me out, okay?
I feel like I'm gonna throw...
(gags) throw up.
-I dare you, Marcus.
-(suppressed retching)
(engine revving)
-(Marcus yells)
-(song ends)
You got 90 seconds, all right?
Ginger ale and nothing else.
I am a grown-ass man.
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay? Just be nice.
Oh, okay. 85 seconds.
(entry bell jingles)
(watch ticking)
Ooh-ooh!
(sizzling)
Are those dogs fresh?
I put 'em on yesterday.
Well, give me one
and, uh, put some relish
and some mustard
on that motherfucker.
Hook it up. Come on, hurry up.
Yeah, no, that one right there.
Yeah. Yeah, that right there.
Hurry up.
Got to go, got to go.
Don't be taking your time.
Yeah, my man. Oh.
MAN:
Hey, open the register.
-No, no, no.
-Now!
Sir, today is not the day.
-(gun cocks)
-Shut the fuck up!
Look, if I'm not in that car
-in 15 seconds...
-(watch ticking)
there's a very surly man
that's coming in here,
and we both are fucked.
-Marcus.
-Hey, don't fucking move!
Get the fuck over there!
Hey, Mike,
I told this guy I had to go.
Mm-mm. Is that Skittles
on the counter, Marcus?
Well, he was taking a long time
w-with the ginger ale.
That is incorrect.
He grabbed that ginger ale
the second he came in here.
A hot dog, Marcus?
You're not supposed to be
eating that shit.
-This is not mine, Mike.
-Yes, it is.
Mind your business
with your tattletaling ass.
Everybody, shut the fuck up!
Sir, I'm gonna need you
to lower your weapon.
Come take my weapon, then,
motherfucker.
Don't antagonize him.
Marcus, get in the car.
Mike, he has a gun to my head.
Want to deal with him
or you want to deal with me?
Sorry, sir, but I got to go.
-(gun fires)
-(screaming)
(slow, distorted ticking)
You didn't
have to shoot him, Mike.
Get in the car.
Call 911.
CLERK:
Aren't you the police?
Other people look at you
and see the tailored suits,
the cars, the watches.
I met you without any of that--
stripped, basically naked--
which is 90% of why
I'm marrying you.
(both laughing)
I met you at your lowest.
You'd been shot.
But there was a fire in you
that was extraordinary.
And I vow to spend the rest
of my life fanning that flame.
I now pronounce you
husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
-Yes. (chuckles)
-(guests cheering)
("Coma Droga Poderosa" by Hanny
playing)
KELLY: You know,
it kind of makes sense
that he married his therapist
after he got shot.
-I love that for him.
-Mm-hmm.
Mental health
is super important.
Well, it was
his physical therapist.
Congratulations, Michael.
Rita. Thank you, thank you.
Mr. Mayor.
Oh, not yet. Don't jinx it.
I'm still just a lowly
U.S. Attorney.
(laughs) Uh, I've been watching
what you're doing.
-You got my vote.
-Aw, thank you.
Congratulations to you.
-Well...
-I mean,
the definition of
a power couple right there.
(laughter)
-I'll, uh, grab you a drink.
-Okay.
Can I get you anything?
No, I'm good. Thank you.
And all this time, I thought
you were a terminal bachelor.
(chuckles) I-I, uh...
I even surprised myself
with this one.
Yeah, I guess you just hadn't
met the right one.
I had some growing up to do.
-You were 50.
-(laughs)
-(song ends)
-MARCUS: Uh...
-(cheering and applause)
-Whew.
Okay, uh...
I'm gonna pre-apologize
for whatever he says.
(sniffling)
-MIKE: Uh-uh.
-Mike.
-Uh-uh-uh. Don't sta...
-No.
-Marcus.
-You know how it is.
-Marcus. Come...
-Let me get it out.
Come on, man.
-Everything you done
been through, man. -Okay.
The witch, the Bruja.
The prostitute.
My sister.
Remember? You could've told me
about my sister, Mike.
You could've told me that.
I would've embraced you
if that's who she was feeling.
-I love you, Mike.
-MIKE: No doubt.
You know, Cap would've loved
to been here to see this.
But you know what,
we got his daughter Judy
and his granddaughter Callie.
She wants to say something.
Um, my granddad loved you guys,
and if he were here,
he would've told you
not to eff this up.
(laughter)
That's what he would've said.
Yeah, he would've said,
"Don't fuck it up." Oh!
(laughing):
Exactly.
Oh, excuse... excuse me.
Hey.
Mike, you been my partner
a long time.
Yes, sir.
Now he's gonna be
your partner, Christine.
(exhales sharply)
To Mike and Christine Lowrey...
-for life!
-ALL: For life!
("Wobble" by V.I.C. playing)
Get in there
Yeah, yeah, get in there
Yeah, yeah
Get in there
Yeah, yeah, get in there
Yeah, yeah
Hey, big girl,
make 'em back it up
-Yeah
-Make 'em back it up
-GUESTS (chanting): Go, Marcus!
-Wait a minute now
-(chanting continues)
-Wait a minute now
Wait a minute now
-Wait a minute now
-Wobble, baby
Wobble, baby,
wobble, baby, wobble
Wobble, baby, wobble, baby,
wobble, baby, wobble
-Get in there, yeah, yeah
-(chanting continues)
Get in there
-(music distorting)
-Yeah, yeah, get in there
-Yeah, yeah, get in there
-(chanting fades)
-Yeah
-Make 'em back it up...
(song fades)
-What happened? What happened?
-(clamoring)
Marcus. Marcus!
-Sir, what's the address?
-Let me in. Let me in.
-Let me in. Let me in. Back up!
-What's the address?
RITA:
This is Captain Rita Secada.
I have an officer
in cardiac arrest.
(heartbeat thumping)
(muffled, distorted chatter)
-MIKE: Come on, man.
-(beeping, clacking)
-(clacking)
-(thunder crashes, rumbles)

(whooshing)
(giggling)
(thunder crashes)
(squawks)
It's not your time.
(indistinct whispering)
(medical monitor beeping)
(whooshing)
(beeping continues)

This guy.
(song ends)
(horns honking)
Hey, buddy.
What you doing?
I spent my whole life
being scared, Mike.
I wasted so much time.
Wh-Why don't you, uh...
why don't you just, uh,
step back from the edge
a little bit, please.
What year is it?
It's Tuesday.
Same year your ass
was wobbling in.
Oh, wow.
Felt like it was five years.
I was in the basement
of the ocean.
All my bullshit was gone.
Just freedom.
And full-body love, Mike.
-Full-body love.
-All right. Okay.
Wh-Why-Why don't you, uh,
love your full body back
from the-the ledge, please?
MARCUS:
Nothing to be scared of.
It's not my time, baby.
It's not my time.
-(door opens)
-NURSE: Mr. Burnett!
MIKE:
Uh, uh, hey, uh, I got him.
He-he-he's just, um...
(sighs)
I don't know
what the fuck he's doing.
Uh, but I got it.
I-I got him.
We're good. We are good.
-We are great!
-Hey.
-MARCUS: Miami!
-MIKE: Whoa.
MARCUS:
305 for life!
Kakow!
-All right, just... (stammers)
-Kakow!
You gonna put somebody's
eye out with that thing, man.
I'm bringing the thunder, Mike.
-I get it.
-Bringing the thunder.
-Yeah, all right. There you go.
-(Marcus hollers, laughs)
Oh, man.
Bring it in.
Thought I lost you, brother.
Couldn't lose me if you tried.
You know your ass is out,
right?
Everybody's ass is out, Mike.
Hey.
There's a storm coming.
(wind whistling)
No, not that kind of storm.
You're gonna be tested.
Things are gonna get bad,
and you're gonna have to make
a really hard choice.
Just know you're good.

(thunder crashes)
This is my private time,
Mr. McGrath.
How may I help you?
I need you to move some money.
-Your money?
-Your boss's, actually.
I need it to be cartel cash.
Just under 20 million.
Backdated series of transfers--
beginning 2004,
ending January 2020--
into that account
in the name of the late
Captain Conrad Howard.
I have people
who can handle logistics.
I really just need
your log-in credentials.
And why would I give you those?
Oh, my God! (whimpers)
Shh.
(quiet whimpering)
McGRATH:
Come here, darling.
-Come on.
-(whimpering)
Come here.
You can't transfer funds
from a phone.
Hey, honey. What's going on?
Do... do...
do they know each other?
(whimpering)
Honey, who's there with you?
-All right, all right.
-Honey...
-(typing)
-Here we go.
They'll kill you for this.
They're not even gonna know
this happened.
Your girlfriend heard you
on the phone with your wife
and realized you were never
gonna divorce her.
And in a fit of passion,
she shot you.
(girlfriend whimpers)
Your bodyguard tried
to step in,
but he was too late.
(quiet whimpering)
And realizing the horror
of her actions...
-...she took her own life.
-No!
(gunshot)
("Flores Pa Ti" by Becky G,
Lusa Sonza, Papatinho playing)
Si me ven mandando...
THERESA (over phone):
Honey, what are you doing?
-You had a heart attack
two weeks ago. -Exactly.
They call it a widow-maker
for a reason.
You need to be
in the hospital, baby.
Hey, I tried to...
Told his ass, T.
He... Yeah, uh,
apparently, he's an adult.
He was allowed
to sign hisself out.
(groans) Hey, babe, look.
Come on. I couldn't take
one more second away from you.
All these stents in me
got my blood flowing.
I'm on "D" way.
-All right, now.
-(growling playfully)
Oh, hey, hey.
-Come on, man. That's my phone.
-(chuckling)
-I love you, Marcus.
-MIKE: We'll be there in ten.
All right, babe.
All right. Love you.
(engine revving)
Hey, Mike, I wasn't even
gonna tell you this,
but this ain't
the first time we done this.
We ride together all the time.
What you mean?
No, I'm talking about
our souls.
You know,
we've ridden together,
but I saw it all, Mike.
We're bound, and we have been
for lifetimes.
We haven't always been
Mike and Marcus,
but we've always been us.
Um...
What you talking about?
(whispers):
We're soulmates.
(laughs)
-Yep.
-Yeah.
Nah.
Yeah, I kind of...
I-I saw my soulmate looking
a little different than that.
See, see, see, Mike,
you stuck in the physical.
Souls don't have dicks.
I'm pretty sure my soul
has a dick, Marcus.
See?
That's that shit right there.
That's why we're stuck.
You know, I wasn't gonna
tell you this shit, either...
-Mm-hmm.
-...but, uh, my soul is
more advanced than your soul.
Mm. Mm-hmm.
It's not that your soul
is stupid.
-Mm-hmm.
-You know?
It's just that
you're more like a...
-a baby soul, you know?
-Mm-hmm.
And I'm more like
a mother soul.
-Mm-hmm.
-And I just got to suckle you.
(chuckling):
You know?
-Put you on that titty, okay?
-Oh, yeah.
(laughing):
You know?
Hey, how long you think
your brain went without oxygen?
(sighs) Daddy's home.
-(laughs) Where my family?
-Honey, you're back.
-My family.
-Oh, baby.
-MARCUS: Hey, baby.
-MIKE: Hey.
(grunting, laughing)
-Look. Granddaddy.
-Oh! Little Marcus!
Say hi to Pop-Pop.
-Hi.
-Say hi to Granddad.
-Yes.
-Aw. I missed you so...
-MARCUS: Look at you, woman.
-Look at...
-No, come on. Look at me, baby.
-Mm, mm.
(both moaning softly)
("Dagombas en Tamale" by
Residente playing in Spanish)
We're gonna
have to hose them down.
All right.
All right, we get it.
-We get it.
-(laughter)
Put some ice in your drawers
or something.
-Aw, that's funny.
-(laughter)
Are you feeling good, Marcus?
I never felt better in my life.
Oh, Marcus.
I missed you so much, honey,
but you need to get some rest.
-Oh, no, baby. I need you.
-(chuckles)
Just let me get
some electrolytes.
-Okay, baby. Give me a kiss.
-All right. (grunts)
So, what's going on
with my dad?
Um, well, he-he was
on the roof, uh, naked.
(faintly in other room):
And, uh, he said he had been
at the basement of the ocean.
"Amazing Chickpeas"?
Uh, oh, and he said, uh,
I have a stupid baby soul
-with no penis.
-Hmm. Mm.
(stammers)
Hey, Reggie!
-Yes, sir.
-Did you eat my snacks?
No... no, sir.
I was looking forward
to my snacks, Reggie.
-THERESA: Honey.
-Ah...
(gunfire, screaming
on video game)
You know what?
You need to get a job.
I'm a U.S. Marine, sir.
Well, then you need to deploy.
We just got back from Yemen.
Thank you for your service.
-You thought I was dead,
didn't you? -Dead?
One thing you don't know,
Reggie:
I got a camera up in here.
Yeah.
Theresa!
It's the doctor's orders,
Marcus.
You're on a strict diet:
no salt, no sugar, no fats.
No stress, no loud noises,
no physical exertion.
Just sit your ass down
somewhere, man.
Tell him, Mike.
And, honey,
I'm doing it with you.
We're now vegetarians.
Vegetarians? Look at me.
Look at all this man, baby.
I'm brand-new.
I need animal sugars
to survive.
Well, baby,
I have a salad for you.
-A salad?
-MIKE: Hey.
Uh, T, looks like
you got this under control.
Uh, my tour of duty is done.
Bye, Christine. Bye, Mike.
-(chuckles) Bye, guys.
-MARCUS: H-Hey, Mike.
Wait up. Wait up, wait up.
-Yeah, yeah.
-What you about to do?
Can you run a quick-quick
for me?
What... Yeah, what you need?
Um, I'll give you a thousand
dollars for some Skittles.
Marcus, I am not buying
your ass no candy, man.
Okay. 2,000, Mike,
for some Ding Dongs.
And that's my final offer.
I think you're gonna be
Ding Dong-less.
Like my soul.

(thunder crashes, rumbles)
MIKE (voice-over):
You always take whoever I love.
-(bullet whizzes)
-(grunts)
MIKE (voice-over):
This is Detective Mike Lowrey.
Captain is down.
He's my son.
MARCUS (voice-over): You got
a fucked-up family, Mike.
(distorted grunt)

(cell phone vibrating)
Department of Justice
has been investigating
the corruption
in the Miami Police Department,
and we now have
credible intelligence
that Captain Conrad Howard
was directing these elements
in coordination
with the cartels.
(reporters clamoring on video)
GRICE: No, I'm not interested
in approximately what time.
I need to know
exactly what time.
Do you understand?
You knew about this?
I found out two weeks ago.
A press conference? Really?
I'm sorry about the way
you had to find out,
but given your closeness...
Our closeness?
Neither one of y'all
would have a job
if it wasn't for
Captain Howard.
Rita, you know
this is not true.
Honestly, I don't.
The investigation
has turned up new evidence.
GRICE:
Miami law enforcement's been
a leaky ship for years now.
Witnesses turn up dead.
Informants disappear.
Events appear random
until you aggregate them
over a period of years.
Then a pattern emerges.
Who is this?
Bud Grice, FBI, heading up
the JTF on this show.
That's who I am.
Now, we knew someone was
providing intelligence
to a cartel moving product
into South Florida.
We just didn't know who.
LOCKWOOD:
A cartel banker turned up dead
two weeks ago,
shot by his girlfriend.
They found a phone
with Howard's contact on it.
Years of communication
with the cartel,
account references offshore.
Millions in Howard's name.
Final piece we needed to nail
that dirty motherfucker.
-LOCKWOOD: Grice.
-Oh, whoa.
Hey, hey. Let me holla at you.
Um, you know I was with him
when he went down, right?
Call him dirty one more time.
I dare you.
We know he had others
who were with him.
We're gonna find them, too.
I was with him.
Put the cuffs on me right now.
-I was with him.
-Mike.
No, these motherfuckers think
that just 'cause he's dead
and can't defend hisself,
they gonna dump all this shit
on him, burn his legacy.
Not on my watch.
This is Judy Howard,
U.S. Marshals.
I realize I have
no jurisdiction here,
but as a professional courtesy,
I'd like to request visibility
into the sources of the
allegations against my father.
Judy.
We're gonna figure
this shit out, all right?
How's Callie?
How do you think, Mike?
We're on the same team here,
Judy.
Like hell we are, Mike.
My dad would still be alive
if it weren't for
-your bastard son.
-Judy.
If I ever catch him
out on the street,
I swear on my father
I will put him down.
MARCUS:
Come on. Come on, man. Come on.
So, what's our next move?
They said he was working
with the cartel.
Let's ask the cartel.
How you doing?
It's prison.
MIKE:
Yeah.
Look, we need your help.
They're saying that
Captain Howard was dirty.
Do you know anything
about that?
How much time I get off
for this one?
MIKE:
I'm still working on that.
This is me telling you
that I need you.
Mm.
I need to know
if Captain Howard
was working with the cartels.
No.
He was onto the ones that were.
So he got green-lit.
Wait, no.
No, Captain Howard was killed
because he was on
your mother's hit list.
He was added to it.
Your people wanted it
to look like us.
Your people wanted him dead.
What you mean "our people"?
You should be careful.
You're playing a game when
you don't even know the rules.
There's dirty players
on your side.
-That's bullshit.
-Wait, who?
I saw him one time.
-Can you I.D. him?
-S.
Give me a name.
I don't know his name.
My mother.
(voice-over): She's the one
who dealt with him.
(scoffs) I knew we should've
kept that damn witch alive.
Marcus.
May she rest in peace.
Dude.

(quiet chatter)
LINTZ: Hey, boss.
Our man on the inside
got all of Howard's records
in the JTF file.
Computers, phones,
files, all of it.
Well, we know Howard
was onto our operation.
We just don't know
how much he had.
We need to make sure
we got every trace.
That's beautiful.
Hey, boss.
It's all the paper files.
They're clean so far.
NICOLE:
Two phones had nothing.
His office computer was empty.
-He was careful.
-But?
NICOLE:
But his old personal laptop
had weak encryption.
-Here... we go.
-(computer trilling)
Shit.
We tripped a fail-safe.
The fuck you mean, "we"?
Something was sent.
To who?
NICOLE:
Tracing the phone now.
(cell phones vibrate and chime)
What the hell?
He's texting us
from the other side.
No, he's not, Marcus.
If you're seeing this,
I'm probably dead.
Fuck. Fuck me.
Before I begin,
I want to say one thing:
I'm putting you
in mortal danger.
Boys, we got rats in our walls.
But I-I got to make sure
you're my bad boys.
The Coke bottle giant
is the key.
What?
Don't trust anybody.
What's that?
What does that mean?
"The Coke bottle giant."
(snapping fingers)
Fletcher.
Oh, shit.
NICOLE:
These are the guys.
We should put a bullet
in these motherfuckers.
Be done with it
once and for all.
Lintz, I love you.
I'd like nothing more
than to let you loose on them,
but extra dead cops
doesn't do us any favors here.
(voice-over): Keep them
under constant surveillance
and see if they make a move.
Fletcher's warehouse
is right down that alley.
Mike, I wasn't even gonna
tell you this...
Ugh. Then don't tell me.
No, you got to hear this.
This is big.
I can't die.
What?
I cannot die.
Motherfucker, you did
a pretty good job of dying
at my wedding
a couple weeks ago.
But I didn't.
Watch.
Hey, Marcus.
("Look at Me Now" by King Flexx
playing)
-Hey!
-(horns honking)
Yeah, I was born
to be the greatest
Hey!
Yeah, I was born
to be your favorite...
Hey! Marcus! Marcus!
Hey, stop, stop. Hey. Hey!
Marcus!
DRIVER: What are you,
some kind of moron?
MIKE:
Stop, stop.
(engines revving,
tires squealing)
Please stop!
(tires screech)
-Hey!
-Bro!
Slow down!
Crosswalk!
-(tires squeal)
-Ah... (laughs)
-You cannot stop me
-(song ends)
Talk to me.
-You got to trust, Mike.
-Mm-hmm.
Trust yourself.
Trust the universe.
Stop that shit, Marcus.
It's not my time, Mike.
Oh, okay, so you're saying
that if I shoot you
in your face,
you're saying
that you won't die?
Fate dictates that you won't
shoot me in the face.
I'm saying...
I'm-I'm saying that you saying
that if I shoot you
in your face,
are you saying you won't die?
Fate doesn't deal
in hypotheticals, Mike.
Oye! Qu ests haciendo?
I'm going to call the police!
They're already here, ma'am.
Mind your business.
Just go to the beach.
Stop that shit, Marcus.
(Marcus chuckles)
See? You're putting
your gun away. (chuckles)
He's putting his gun away.
(chuckling)
-(mellow music playing)
-(quiet chatter)
Ooh. Mike.
Focus, man.
Yeah, I call this place,
you know,
Creative Space for
Black Imagination, you know.
-That's...
-MIKE: Fletcher.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
What the hell is this place?
This is my studio gallery.
I'm an artiste now.
Please, you ain't
no damn artist.
(inhales sharply, clicks tongue)
-What do you guys want?
-Captain Howard.
Yeah, I was sorry to hear
what happened to him.
He helped turn my life around.
He told us to talk to you.
Okay. Talk to me.
I just talked to you.
Then say what
you're supposed to say.
-I said what I'm supposed
to say. -You didn't.
Then tell me what
I'm supposed to say.
I've said all I can say.
You fucking with us, beanstalk.
Marcus!
Come on.
Captain Howard saved my life.
I'm not messing this up.
I can't say
what I supposed to say
until you say
what you supposed to say.
Fletcher, just tell us
what you supposed to tell us.
Dumbasses. Look.
Captain Howard
was onto something big.
He didn't trust that you
dumb fucks would figure it out,
so he contacted me.
Because you're stupid
and I'm a genius.
So I protected the information
in something.
In something beautiful.
(sighs)
Flex your face one more time.
Flex it again!
I will blow
your fucking head off.
Would you stop? Come on.
In something
that will live forever.
(silenced gunshot)
-Did you shoot him?
-(people screaming)
(sniffs) I don't think so.
(panicked chatter)

Freeze!
Marcus. Marcus!
("Can't Get Enough of Your
Love, Babe" by Barry White)
I've heard people say that
Too much of anything
is not good for you, baby
Ah, no, no
But I don't know about that
-(spits)
-(song slows and distorts)
-(yells)
-(song stops)
You hit?
Nah. Black jelly bean.
Nobody likes that shit.
-Whoa.
-(song resumes)
My darling, I
Can't get enough
of your love, babe
Hey! Stop that stupid shit!
Girl, I don't know,
I don't know why
I can't get enough
of your love, babe
I'm not fucking with you! Stop!
(bullets ricocheting)
(song fades)
(distorted roaring)
No! No, no!
-No! No!
-(yells)
I don't give a fuck!
Marcus, stop! No!
(gunfire continues)
(breathing heavily)
-What are you doing?!
-I got this!
But you don't, though!
No. No!
Marcus!
(grunts)
Let's go! Let's move!
(grunts) Marcus!
Burnett and Lowrey
are moving north on 11th.
(engine starts)
(panting, grunting)
(horns honking)
(grunts, yells)
Miami PD! Go!
(tires squeal)
What are you doing?!
I'm fighting crime, baby.
Freeze!
(gasps)
(distorted yelling)
(groaning)
(breathing heavily)
-Mike!
-(engine revving)
(tires squeal)

Have you ever had
a panic attack before?
What?
Ain't nobody have
no damn panic attack.
You're at 165 over 90.
Sweaty, nauseous.
Look, there's no shame
in getting counseling.
-All right. Thank you.
-Mike.
Appreciate you, brother.
Mike, let the man do his job.
-What...
-MIKE: Okay.
Good... good job, man.
Hey, Mike.
What the hell
you panicking about?
I'm not speaking to you.
What'd I do?
(indistinct radio chatter)
You two all right?
Mike had a panic attack.
He didn't. Mike is fine.
What happened?
Rita, you ain't gonna
believe this shit,
-but we got a text from...
-A tip.
We got a tip that Fletcher
had violated his parole,
so we came down here, and...
obviously, he was into some
shit he ain't have no business.
Is that true, Marcus?
Uh, um...
(laughing)
You know, well, you know, I...
I was with Mike.
How could you, of all people,
think Captain Howard was dirty?
I don't want this to be true,
but it would benefit all of us
to do our jobs
and follow the evidence.
And you think
he was stupid enough
to put accounts
in his own name?
-He's being framed.
-By who?
That's what we're trying
to find out.
Rita, come on,
you're smarter than this.
Michael, please do not forget
you're talking to your boss.
I'm trying to protect you here.
I got no footage
for a two-block radius.
What?
They must have killed all CCTV,
all security cams.
I got nothing.
(laughing): At least they ain't
film your panic attack.
(Mike laughs mockingly)
Hey, guys.
-You had a panic attack?
-MIKE: No.
If you want, I can recommend
a good counselor.
I'm good, Dorn. Thanks.
Look, I shot this,
went frame by frame.
Check it out.
All right, not here.
-Dorn, shut it down.
-Yeah.
Hey. Let's go.
So, what is this?
MARCUS:
We're not exactly sure.
(typing)
-Whoa.
-MIKE: Wow.
There you go. There you go.
All right, you fucks.
Now that I know it's you,
here it is.
I don't know how high up
it goes,
but there's corrupt officials
on our side,
and they're working
with the cartel.
This all started smelling funny
about nine years ago.
That shipment of coke we were
about to raid went missing.
You know, I-I kept getting
shut down from above.
So I... I pulled Sanchez
and Ruiz out of retirement.
I had 'em working
on the outside, you know?
They were killed in a car crash
a week later.
That shook me up.
And it's why I never
brought you two in.
Well, shame on me for worrying
about your asses
when you could've saved mine.
But now it's up to you.
Remember the bust back in 2003?
314 pounds of ecstasy?
Well, I held on to the
storage unit, off the books.
That's where
the real files are.
Everything you need
to exterminate
these rat fucks, it's in there.
You're gonna have to finish
what I couldn't.
Please.
Please, boys.
You're my last hope.
(Dorn sighs)
2003, um...
that was the-the Haitian,
Zoe Pound.
Where was their storage locker?
I have no idea. All right.
We need you guys to go down
to the station
and pull
our original case files.
That'll tell us
where the locker is.
Do it quietly and be careful.
We don't know who we can trust.
DORN:
Shit, this is heavy, man.
Um... (clears throat)
I just got something
important to say.
I'm just gonna come out
with it, clear the air.
Uh, the rat is not me, so...
Thanks for that, Dorn.
(sighs) I feel safer.
(quiet chatter)
(grunts)

(exhales sharply)
(gate closes)
(grunts)
(exhales slowly)
(speaking Spanish)
(grunting and groaning)
(excited chatter)
(groans)
(alarm blaring)
(frantic chatter)
(groaning)
MIKE (voice-over):
They just tried to kill my son
because Armando can prove that
Captain Howard was innocent.
Cap was onto
these dirty players.
Armando told you that?
Yes. It's the reason they
wanted Captain Howard dead.
Armando can I.D. the guy
that ordered the hit on Cap.
He have a name?
No.
But a face.
Listen, I know y'all
can do this, all right?
Just transfer Armando.
Get him to Miami.
Get him to a secure location.
We'll-we'll debrief him.
We'll get his testimony.
We'll get some pictures
in front of him.
But please do it now.
These guys are trying
to cover their asses,
and they are not gonna stop.
Do it for Captain Howard.
(sighs) Look, the evidence
against Captain Howard
is overwhelming.
If I'm doing this,
I'm doing it for you.
All right.
Let's transfer Aretas.
You'll accompany him,
get him to igloo here in Miami,
do a debrief.
But I'm sticking my neck out
and I'm trusting you.
If he turns out to be bullshit,
then it's gonna be my ass.
So... don't screw me, Mike.
(cell phone vibrating)
MIKE:
All right.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah?
DORN (over phone): We found
Zoe Pound's storage unit.
We'll go get the files,
then take them
to my houseboat
for safekeeping.
All right. Stay on it.
Let me know when you got it.
(siren wails)
Please surrender your firearms.
They will be returned to you
upon touchdown.
You good?
Never been better.
It's about 45 minutes.
Mike, I wasn't even
gonna tell you this,
but in one of our previous
lifetimes together...
Mm-hmm?
...you were a donkey,
and I owned you.
(chuckles)
You were a stubborn ass, Mike.
-Mm-hmm.
-You used to bite and spit.
-You were nasty.
-Mm-hmm.
But I-I was a terrible owner,
you know,
-because I used to beat you.
-Mm-hmm.
Because you wouldn't
listen for shit.
And maybe I beat some kind
of shame into you, Mike.
And now I realize
I was scarring your soul.
You miss your nap?
(sighs)
Mike, I'm trying
to apologize to you.
We don't have your blankie,
but you could just
rest your eyes.
That's exactly how you was
as a donkey.
-Okay. I get it.
-That's that shit there.
You need some help
with your seat belt?
No, donkey.
McGRATH:
Hey.
Bryant, this is Bronson.
The other guys
are on turnaround.
BRYANT:
Take a seat.
(engines powering up)
-(thunder crashes)
-(rattling)
MIKE:
What's up?
(thunder crashes)
-(beeps)
-McGRATH: Read the lines.
(voice shaking):
"U.S. Marshal flight 724.
"We have an emergency.
"Our prisoner
has escaped custody
"with the aid of Miami PD--
Lowrey and Burnett.
"There are officers down.
"Mayday. Mayday. They are
coming for the cockpit.
-(tool whirring)
-"I repeat,
"they are hijacking the CH-47.
All ground units,
please respond."
(gasping)

-McGRATH: Give me Lowrey's gun.
-LINTZ: Copy.
(grunts)
LINTZ:
Go, go! Get Lowrey.
(beeping)
-Let's go!

I'm a drug dealer, man.
To the right!

(metallic creaking)

(groaning, breathing heavily)
He was using my gun.
How the hell did they get
on a federal transport?
We need to split up.
We're gonna stay together.
Says who?
I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.
We're staying together.
-Fuck out of my way.
-Hey. Where...
-MARCUS: Hey! Hey!
-Get the fuck off me.
-Hey! Hey!
-Listen!
Look, you are the only person
who can identify
whoever is doing this.
The only way that
any of us stays alive
is if we get them
before they get us.
There's no us. There is no us!
Damn.
That Lowrey DNA is a bitch.
Y'all some
strong motherfuckers.
Okay. Now, look,
everybody unflex on three.
One. Two.
There you go.
Captain Howard left us files
that's gonna tell us
who's doing this.
Dorn has them.
We just have to get back
to Miami.
You better not slow me down.
Lose your phones.
You keep up with me,
or I leave you in the dirt.
You're in my world now.

Hey, Mike.
Look, we got to think
about this.
I know you want to move
with him,
you know,
because he's your "son."
Whoa. Whoa.
Don't air-quote that.
No, I-I didn't. I'm just saying
I know why you trying
to protect him--
'cause he "family."
Hey.
Moving the air quotes
down to your hips
doesn't un-air-quote them.
Just-just say he's my son.
-He's your son.
-No, no.
Palms up is like
you trying to say,
oh, he's not really my son.
Oh.
Well, your son's getting away.
MIKE:
Shit.

HIRSHBERG: If your men
are on some kind of op,
you might want to pull us in.
Otherwise, it doesn't
look good for them.
Yeah.
-Judy.
-You I.D. the bodies?
Roger.
We got three unaccounted for:
Lowrey, Burnett and Aretas.
Motherfuckers.
-Fucking... Shit.
-(siren wailing)
All right. Listen up!
We have three suspects,
armed and dangerous, out there.
And I want them back.
-Let's go.
-(busy chatter)
RITA:
Hold on. Judy.
Three suspects?
What do you think
is happening here?
Wh-What do you think?
Play the audio.
BRYANT (recorded):
U.S. Marshal flight 724.
We have an emergency.
Our prisoner
has escaped custody
with the aid of Miami PD--
Lowrey and Burnett.
There are officers down.
Mayday. Mayday.
Come on, you can't
possibly believe
Mike and Marcus would do this.
Nah, you said it.
Lowrey was obsessed with
getting his son out of prison.
Slow down, Judy.
This isn't Miami, Secada.
These are my fugitives,
and right now the whole world
is my jurisdiction.
You've known them
your whole life.
How can you even suggest...
Do I think that
Mike and Marcus planned this?
Probably not.
But people do things
they wouldn't normally do
when family's involved.
In my experience,
innocent men don't run.
Can we stop and think before...
Are you capable
of doing your job?
'Cause I need to move on.
They survived.
The fuck you mean,
they survived?
No bodies on site.
U.S. Marshals are treating it
as a manhunt.
These guys just refuse to die.
They're wanted men.
(voice-over): Law enforcement
and media are our friends now.
REPORTER:
A manhunt for three fugitives
is sending shock waves
across South Florida.
REPORTER 2: Ballistic reports
have matched the bullets
recovered from
the bodies at the...
Are you planning
on dropping out
of the mayor's race
in light of the recent events?
GRICE (on TV): The manhunt
is currently underway.
The FBI is assisting
U.S. Marshals
in bringing these men in.
Lowrey, Burnett and Aretas
should be considered
armed and dangerous.
These are individuals
who have killed
fellow law enforcement
professionals.
If you see something,
say something.
Put a bounty on the streets.
(voice-over): Get it
to every gang in the city
-and let them fight for it.
-(cell phones chiming)
Five mil.
(sucks teeth)
(voice-over): Let's go get
these motherfuckers.

MARCUS: The universe
is crazy, ain't it?
Look at us.
I bet none of us thought
when we woke up today
this is where we'd be.
You out of jail.
We going to jail. (chuckles)
This shit is special.
Mike, is there anything you
would like to say to Armando?
Fuck you talking to me
like that? No.
Mike, this is a moment.
Express with your son.
I'm sorry.
That's what I'm talk...
That's what I'm talking...
For what?
MIKE:
For everything, man.
Seems like bad shit happens
to anybody I love, so...
starting to think
maybe I'm cursed.
I just feel like...
maybe I cursed you.
You ain't fucking curse me.
Bad shit happens to everybody.
Ain't always about you.
MARCUS:
Hey, Armando.
I don't know
if I told you this,
but I died
a couple of weeks ago.
-Sorry to hear about that.
-MARCUS: Oh, no.
(chuckling): Best thing
that ever happened to me.
Shit's wild.
But y'all...
y'all the reason I came back.
Hey.
Everybody, bring it in.
Come on, bring it in.
Come on.
-Dude.
-MARCUS: Bring...
-(sighs)
-MARCUS: There you go, Armando.
There you go. There you...
Y'all are some terrible
fucking fugitives.
So, what-what are you,
fucking Marcus Winfrey?
-What?
-What you... See?
-I'm just trying...
-You making us look soft,
like we don't know
how to be on the run.

(dog barking in distance)
We got to get you out of this.
Hey.
That boy hardheaded.
Chip off the old block.

Well, what we got here?
Hey, Cain, come take
a look at this!
-(gun cocks)
-What are you boys doing?
"Boys"?
Are y'all stealing our clothes?
(chuckling):
Looks like it.
Fucking racism.
Y'all think
just because we Black
we stealing your shit?
Now, these are
my own Black clothes
that I put on today
from my own Black closet.
-Marcus.
-What?
Look at your shirt.
Hey, man. (chuckles)
How'd this get
in my Black closet?
Why don't you boys sing us
a little Reba song?
(men chuckling)
-MARCUS: Uh, Reba?
-MIKE: Reba?
Oh, yeah.
-Oh, please. (sputters)
-Uh... which...
That's, um, 'cause he put...
he put me on to...
Whi-Which one?
Which y'all... Which one?
Sing your favorite.
Oh, she got plenty
of them, um...
-'Cause she got hits.
-Yeah, she got hits.
-Was it the up-tempo song?
-Yeah, yeah, remember the one?
You know, where she...
or the...
-or-or the slow jam?
-Uh...
-It was the slow one, man.
-Oh, okay, uh...
-You hurt me in the morning
-You hurt me...
Yes, 'cause she was hurt.
She was, yeah, uh...
-You hurt me at night
-You hurt me at Yes, yes.
-MARCUS: But I've changed
-MIKE: Changed
-And I'm strong
-I'm a...
-I'm a woman.
-I'm a woman.
-I'm a strong Black wo...
-A strong...
-I'm a strong woman
-Woman, yeah, 'cause
-she not Black, but...
-Yeah, she... But...
BOTH:
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(chuckling):
Yeah. And, um, um...
Whatcha gonna do?
-Whatcha gonna do...
-Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
That ain't no Reba song.
It's from her mixtape.
("Bad Boys" country version):
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
-Whatcha gonna do...
-(horn honking)
(gasping, shouting)
Bad boys, bad boys...
MAN:
Goddamn it!
Whatcha gonna do
when they come for you?
We're sorry!
We'll bring it back!
We're not stealing your shit
because we Black!
Whatcha gonna do
when they come for you?
Bad boys
Ah, whatcha gonna do?
Did you ever love her?
What?
My mother. You ever love her?
(whispers):
He's expressing.
I definitely loved her.
And then you sold her out.
I made some mistakes.
Like me.
Now, you know that is not
what I was trying...
Now, wait a damn minute,
Armando.
He's trying to make up for it.
He don't owe you a damn thing.
All right, ho-hold on.
Hold on, Marcus.
You're-you're just...
you're being aggressive.
I've been a dad a long time.
He needs to hear this, Mike.
He needs some tough-ass love.
Armando, maybe he does
owe you something, okay?
Your mom being deceived by him,
you being born in prison,
in a web of lies
that turned your ass into
a stone-cold fucking killer.
Yeah. You're a killer.
(scoffs)
But this man, through it all,
has been nothing but solid.
That's some father-of-the-year
shit right there.
-Is it?
-Yeah.
(engine sputtering)
(steam hissing)
Your wack-ass parenting
broke the truck.
My bad.
(engine whining)
Yeah, nah, that's dead.
We're not far from Tabitha's.
Nah, Mike.
You know that woman's crazy.
Yeah, but she likes me.
I don't think she likes you
as much as you think.
The Pony's about
two miles from here.
What's The Pony?
Because tonight,
tonight, tonight
-(lively chatter)
-Oh-oh
(whooping)
I'm gonna make it right,
tonight, tonight...
TABITHA: I need my Instagram.
I need my Friendster.
I need more sex.
I need more men in this club.
You all look beautiful.
Now, get back to work.
(clicks tongue)
Mike Lowrey. Damn.
What up, Tabitha?
So y'all in trouble, huh?
Yeah, uh, we need some help.
Um...
-Well, we need some clothes.
-No shit.
-A ride and some phones.
-MIKE: Mm. Yeah.
Yeah. Guns, too.
Uh, that's my son.
That's Armando.
You got you
a little Spanish son?
Yeah. (sighs)
Yeah, it's a long story.
Um, can you hook us up?
I mean, I got all that,
but what you gonna do for me?
What you mean?
We good for that.
You were.
But you guys
are men on the run now, so...
Well, what you need?
-What I need?
-Mm-hmm.
I need you to eat this pussy.
-(gasps)
-(Mike chuckles)
I'm not doing that, all right?
Whoa. Hold on, Mike.
Hold on. Think about this.
Now, you say
guns and phones, right?
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay, well, look,
-you know Mike's a married man.
-So?
So he's gonna need
some plausible deniability.
So I'm-a have you lay down
and, uh, stick out your tongue,
and you gonna
have to do the rest.
I can fuck with that.
-Oh, yeah. Go on and lay down.
-No, Marcus.
All you got to do
is close your eyes, Mike.
-No. -Ooh, I'm-a need
pictures, okay?
-You know how to take pictures,
right? -Tabitha, hey.
-What?
-We don't have a lot of time.
I need you to stop
fucking around.
Oh, I'm not fucking around.
All right. Hey, let's go.
W-Wait. Hold up.
Sit your
motherfucking ass down.
Hey, Tabitha,
what is you doing?
What is you doing?
Sit your married ass down!
You get y'all asses down, too!
-Shit.
-Everybody, sit down!
Hey, I got the bad boys
right here.
Let's get that money.
-Hey, Tab.
-Shut the fuck up.
MARCUS:
H-Hold up. I'm confused.
You didn't want him
to licky-licky?
There's a $5 million bounty
on your head.
I need that money.
I was just stalling.
That's-that's cold.
He almost did that shit.
He did not, Marcus.
-I told you she didn't
like you. -(guns cocking)
Get the fuck up.
(Marcus sighs)
The bounty is dead or alive.
Don't be stupid.
Hey, Armando.
If you live,
I'll let you... (moans)
What?
I said, if you live,
motherfucker, holla at me!
He was kind of cute.
-Nah.
-(laughter)
(phone chimes)
JUDY:
We got a tip.
Positive I.D. on our fugitives.
-Let's do this.
-(siren blaring)
Ooh. Mike, I'm about
to make my move.
Oh, no, the fuck you're not.
You 'bout to go wherever
these men are taking us.
Oh, I'm not going.
Now, I'll take
the three in the front.
You take the six in the back.
Marcus, we do not have
any weapons.
-In five, four, three...
-Marcus.
-(heavy gunfire)
-(men yelling)

(tires squeal)
-(bullet ricochets)
-(gasps)
(muffled hip-hop music playing)
Ah, shit. This motherfucker.
Fuckboy, fuckboy,
whatcha gonna do?
Hey, yo, Mike.
Ain't no fun when the rabbit
got the gun, huh?
Wait, you know this guy?
Yeah, I hit him with a hammer
a couple years ago.
You think I forgot about
that fucking ho shit
you pulled off
at Manny's Prime Rib?
How the fuck did I let
you two catch me?
MANNY:
Mike, I want my five million.
MIKE:
Marcus!
You see I got the fam with me--
the streets!
We can do this nice and easy
or we can go to war.
'Cause I'm fucking war-ready!
MIKE:
What are you doing?
-(engine revs, tires squeal)
-MIKE: No!
(groaning)
(grunts)
-Go, go, go, go!
-(Marcus groaning)
-(screaming)
-Back up! Back up! Back up!
(tires squealing)
MIKE:
No! No!
Windshield wiper fluid
is flammable!
How the hell am I supposed
to know that?
I ain't no damn scientist.
(frantic yelling)
Everybody, relax.
The fire's on the outside.
(gasps)
MARCUS:
Oh, shit.
Now it's on the inside.
(gasping, whimpering)
Shit! Okay.
(gasps) Okay.
(sirens blaring)
(panting)
-(bullet ricochets)
-(tires squealing)
-Shit!
-(horn honking)
Everybody, out! Everybody, out!
(grunting)
(heavy gunfire continues)
(indistinct radio chatter)
(groaning)
Shit.
(panting)

(banging)
MARCUS:
Open the damn door!
MIKE: We can feel you right
there, boy. Open the door.
DORN (sighs):
Shit.
(laughs):
Hey.
-Open up, Muscle Milk.
-Come on, man.
-What the fuck is you doing?
-Nothing.
It's just not a great time
for me right now, guys.
It's not a great time
for us, either.
Okay, let's reconvene
in like an hour or so.
Babe, we're out of body wash.
-MIKE and MARCUS: Whoa...
-Whoa! What the hell?
(chuckles) We found you guys.
(muffled laughter)
We're in a relationship, okay?
-Oh, okay.
-All right, yeah, that's...
Sneaking around
has been destroying me.
It started
about a couple months ago.
It will not affect
our professional lives.
Except for that one time
in that van.
-I am not sorry.
-Nothing to be sorry about.
Yeah, you know,
I-I mean, people do that shit.
Are you guys okay?
MIKE: Yeah, we're good.
(stammers) Oh.
KELLY:
What the fuck?
MIKE:
Okay. Whoa, whoa.
Hey, Kelly, Kelly. (stammers)
I asked you to wait outside
for a second.
All right. Kelly, he's with us.
He can't be here.
This is my son Armando.
I know who he is, and
that's why he can't be here.
I trust you with my life, Mike,
but I sure as shit
don't trust him.
I trust him.
Then take him to your house.
(clears throat) Hey, Mike.
Uh, can I have a second
with her?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Please.
-Okay. Hey, sweetie.
Relax. Relax.
DORN: Come here for a sec.
Come over here for a sec.
MIKE:
I asked you to wait outside.
("Only You (1twofeel Reprise)"
by Jay Glavany playing)
KELLY:
We could both end up in jail.
Burning in my soul...
DORN: Why don't we
give them a chance?
KELLY: Yeah, give them a chance
to kill us all? Hmm?
This is
some dysfunctional shit.
-DORN: She's fine.
-MIKE: All right.
-MARCUS: She don't look fine.
-I'm fine.
Yes, you are.
-Hey. All right.
-The fuck you say?
-All right. All right.
-It's the language barrier.
It was English.
-Uh...
-It was definitely English.
Thanks for the drip.
Yeah.
Okay, we're aggregating
all the data.
There's over a hundred hours
of video, 200 units of audio.
We're indexing all audio, video
and geo-located IP network data
to create a sight picture
and develop a target package.
Basically, you-you sifting
through all this shit to find
-the guilty motherfucker.
-Bingo.
Hey, Dorn.
-Yeah. -Can you safely get me
into my Ring app?
-Yeah.
-I want to see my family.
Yeah, we got
our own VPN and router.
-Uh, what's your username?
-Marcus37.
And password?
Snickers89.
Almost home, baby.
Hey, let's get to work.
We got a lot
to get through here.
So, what exactly
are we looking for?
MIKE (voice-over):
We're looking for the guy
who ordered the hit on Cap.
Armando can I.D. him.

HOWARD (voice-over):
This fucking bastard
has been my white whale.
For the last nine years,
I've been trying
to harpoon the son of a bitch.
But now it's up to you.

DORN:
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Do I walk into your house and
show you how to make cocaine?
Blow it up.

It's him.
You sure?
ARMANDO: That's the guy
that ordered the hit.
Bam. Got a name.
James McGrath.
Army Ranger School,
counterintelligence.
(voice-over):
Deployed in Mexico until 2005.
Worked with the DEA,
Defense Attach's Office.
Oh, shit.
He was taken hostage by...
your friends, the cartel.
Gave up his entire squad
"under duress."
It's called torture, man.
DORN:
He was the only survivor.
MIKE (voice-over):
Cap had him the whole time.
-DORN: Yeah.
-He just didn't know it.
Hey.
(cell phone ringing)
Hello.
Hey. It's me.
Damn it, Michael.
Where are you?
Rita, we're coming in.
We got proof that
Captain Howard is innocent.
What proof?
We got the guy
that had Captain Howard killed.
Armando I.D.'d him.
Same dude that attacked us
on the chopper:
James McGrath.
Rita, we got ten years'
worth of files.
Cap was investigating
these dudes.
We got 'em all.
It's a whole network.
We'll surrender to you
tomorrow.
Hey, look, we got to go.
Michael, what... (sighs)
You okay?
Uh... (sighs)
they're coming in.
What?
Michael says they have proof
that exonerates Howard,
explains everything.
-(sighs)
-Do you still love him?
What?
No.
-But I believe him.
-(sighs)
Just be careful, babe.
-Still going to dinner?
-Yeah.
(sighs)
McGRATH (voice-over):
They have the files.
We need to make this look like
cartel business-- Spanish only.
(busy chatter)
(man in Spanish)
Shit, shit, shit!
We need some sleep.
Hey, guys, we got a problem.
DORN:
Miami Central, Miami Central.
29 in progress

MARCUS:
Oh, shit. That's my house.
MIKE:

DORN:
Please advise, MOS residence.
Respond forthwith.
Fuck. Fuck.
Come on, Christine.
(vibrating)
Oh, shit.
Get a unit over to my house.
-Come on, Reggie. Pick up!

Get the family

-What?
-Now!
Yes, sir.
-Come on!
-Hey, what's happening?
Is anybody...
-REGGIE: There's people
coming in the house.
-Okay.
-(frantic chatter)
-I got to keep y'all safe.
Come here.
(beeping)
-Please be careful.
-Okay, Reggie, what's happening?
-Trust me. I love you.
-Okay, honey.
Fuck. Fuck.

(grunting and groaning)
Behi... Behind you, Reg!
-Oh! Sh...
-Oh, damn!

Who the fuck is this guy?
That's my boy! That's my boy.
Ooh.
Damn. (exhales sharply)
Come on, come on, come on.

Ooh.
No, no, no.
-Whoa!
-Oh, shit.

Come on, come on.

-MARCUS: Whoo!
-DORN: Holy shit.
(shuddering breaths)
-(both screaming)

MARCUS (voice-over):
Oh!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,
motherfuckers!
Me snacks is your snacks,
Reggie!
-REGGIE: All right, come on.
-(panicked gasping)
(gasps)
Mike, did you see that shit?
MIKE:
Pick up the phone.
Whoa, Mike. Mike! Mike!
-(cell phone vibrating)
-(knocking on glass)
CHRISTINE:
One second.
-Callie.
-I saw it on TV.
My mom is after Uncle Mike.
There is no way that he did
everything that they're saying.
Sweetheart.
Everything is going to be okay.
-Okay.
-Okay?
Okay?
(cell phone vibrating)
Hello?
It's me. Get out of the house.
I've got Callie with me.
Take her and go. Get out now!
(whistling)
CHRISTINE:
Callie, get behind me.
Mike.
(heavy, shuddering breaths)
(Callie yelps)
Christine!
(groaning)
Mr. Lowrey.
Who am I speaking to?
I think you know
who you're speaking to.
I need your boy.
And whatever evidence
your beloved captain
had squirreled away.
And for that,
you can have your wife.
I'll call you back
with instructions.
-(phone beeps)
-Ah, shit.
(groans)
Goddamn it.
-(Mike groaning)
-I'll go.
Let my life be worth something.
Never.
Never.
(ragged breathing)
(heavy, ragged breathing)
MARCUS:
Mike.
He knew.
What do you mean?
He knew we were coming in.
He knew we had
Captain Howard's files.
He knew we had I.D.'d him.
How?
Only person you spoke to
was Rita.
It's not Rita.
Damn, she got bad taste in men.
-(ringing)
-TV REPORTER: ...Justice
has been
investigating the corruption of
the Miami Police Department
with reports suggesting
the late
Captain Conrad Howard...
-Hello?
-...directed these elements
in coordination
with the cartels.
Allegations against Howard,
which look to include
Lowrey and Burnett
in the operation,
range from helping cartels
move product
into the state of Florida
as well as giving up
key witnesses,
destruction of evidence
and even the murder
of fellow officer...
-What's going on?
-I don't know.
There's been a breakthrough
in the case.
I need to get down
to the station.
I'm gonna head down there.
I'm coming with you.
(elevator bell dings)
(Rita sighs)
(Lockwood takes deep breath)
Who are you texting?
Ah, just, um, just...
just got to get in touch
with the office, JTF.
Got to let everybody know.
Hey. Honey. Come on.
(laughing): Honey,
what are you doing? Stop that.
What are you doing? Stop it.
-Let go of me.
-Come on. What are you doing?
Give it back to me.
Give it back!
(both breathing heavily)
(grunting and groaning)
(both straining)
-(muffled thump)
-(Rita yelps)
(gasping)

(Lockwood grunting)
(elevator bell dings)
KELLY:
Fuck.
-(Lockwood groans)
-DORN: Hey, hey, hey, come on.
-Come on. Come on.
-(Kelly grunting)
You okay?
RITA:
Look at the phone.
(Rita coughing)

You know you done
fucked up, right?
You all right?
(Rita sighs)
I'm sorry.
Ain't got nothing
to be sorry for.
(indistinct chatter)
We'll find her, boss.
I don't trust anybody
that's not standing right here
right now.
Every extra person
that we involve
increases the likelihood
that they know we're coming,
which increases the likelihood
that Christine and Callie
don't make it out of there.
That means no SWAT,
no Marshals, no backup.
It's just us.
(sighs)
I never meant for it
to go this way.
How did you mean it to go?
After 9/11, nobody cared about
drugs coming into this country.
So, to secure the borders,
we started to work
with the cartels.
And they kept us informed about
any terrorist activity
coming our way.
And it worked.
We haven't had an attack since.
We were protecting
this country.
You were killing cops
and getting rich
putting drugs
into this country.
(chuckling):
Rita.
That's why you killed Howard.
He was onto you.
You wanted to cover
your tracks.
No. That was McGrath.
He's out of control.
Rita, just take a second.
I never meant for any of this
to go this way.
I guess I just need to know
if it was ever real.
It was always real.
I panicked.
I lost control.
Did you love me?
Yes.
I swear.
Well, that means...
MIKE:
We're good. We got it.
99% voice match.
...absolutely nothing to me,
you piece of shit.
-(tape tearing)
-(muffled grunting)

(busy chatter)
LOCKWOOD (over phone):
Hey. It's me.
McGRATH:
What the hell's going on?
You screwed up
is what's going on.
MIKE and LOCKWOOD'S VOICE:
We've been compromised.
I'll explain when I get there.
LOCKWOOD'S VOICE:
We're moving the hostages.
Cuba, long-term hold...
MIKE and LOCKWOOD'S VOICE:
...to keep Lowrey, Burnett
and Aretas quiet
while we sort this out.
I'm bringing a seaplane.
I'll be there at first light.
All right, pack this place up.
All equipment and personnel,
prepare to move.
We're moving the hostages
out of the country.
(busy chatter)
What happened to your hand?
They call that
a Colombian manicure.
(yelling in pain)
McGRATH:
What's so great about it
is it's the maximum amount
of pain, but you don't die.
(shuddering, breathing heavily)
So now you've decided to be
the one holding the pliers.
Everybody breaks.
Everyone.
Your husband is gonna
kneel down in front of me
and beg for your lives.
And then you're gonna
watch me kill him.
You don't know my husband.
Well, not officially, but...
I look forward
to seeing him again.

MARCUS:
Bad boys, bad boys
("Bad Boys" by Inner Circle):
Bad boys...
Mm-mm.
Come on, Mike.
-Bad boys, bad boys
-Bad boys...
Whatcha gonna do?
Yeah.
BOTH: Whatcha gonna do
when they come for you?
(scatting)
That-that's enough, dawg.
That's enough.
Okay, well, we'll circle back
on that one.
Bad boys, bad boys,
whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do
when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys,
whatcha gonna do...
All right, the plane is ready.
We roll in 20.
(voice-over): It's an
abandoned amusement park.
There should be no civilians.
Plane is gonna land
from the south
on the one side.
Marcus and I will be
on the plane.
Armando's gonna make his way
in the water-- the two side.
Kelly, Rita, this road is
one way in, one way out.
You're holding that road.
Dorn, you're gonna
control the air.
DORN (voice-over):
Drones in the air.
Jamming is active.
Comms are secure.
As far as they know, Lockwood
is on his way with the plane
to move the hostages to Cuba.
The second they get close
to the plane with the hostages,
it's quick kills.
Neutralize all threats.
These motherfuckers killed
a lot of good cops.
They have my wife.
They have Callie.
They attacked our families.
We're not losing today.
Bad boys
MIKE:
Hey.
We get on the ground,
you even flinch,
you'll be dead in .24 seconds.
I concur.
PILOT: I got one lookout
on the platform outside.
I got one sniper
on the roof of building two.
Tee those up.
Everybody, keep moving.
-What are those?
-Gators.
I thought it was
an abandoned gator park.
Abandoned by humans.
DORN: It's actually
an old amusement park.
It sat on ten acres.
Abandoned in 2017
after Hurricane Irma.
DORN (over radio):
Their main attraction was
an albino alligator named Duke,
who was 16 feet long,
900 pounds.
"And legend has it
he's still there"?
Fuck that.
Armando's at his QTH.

DORN:
Hostages are coming out now.
McGrath plus three.
Everybody, stay calm.
MIKE (sighs):
All right.
(Mike breathing heavily)
-Mike.
-(heavy breathing continues)
Mike, do you have the shot?
MIKE:
Negative. I do not have a shot.
I do not have a shot.
(continues breathing heavily)
-Mike, he's right there.
-I don't have it.
I don't have it.
(breathing sharply)
They stopped. Why'd they stop?
(growling)
(wood creaking)
(growling)
Shit.
Let's go.
(growling)
Armando,
they're closing in on you.
-Do they see him?
-I don't know.
Mike, now. Your chance is now.
(over radio): They can see him.
They know we're here.
(Mike breathing sharply)
MIKE: I don't have it.
Negative. Negative. Negative.
You got to take
the fucking shot.

that doesn't mean you're bad.

That's what I'm talking about.
That shit right there.
That's that shit right there.

I dropped my gun in the water.
-It's by your foot.

Begone, gator.

I rebuke you.

That's how you command
the universe.

Nevertheless, this is
the end of the road.
One of them is about to die.

-You choose.
What you don't know,
Mr. McGrath,
is one of 'em can't die.
Who you talking 'bout?
A wise man told me I was gonna

She's with Little Marcus

Hey. I'm about
to hook y'all up.
-I'm about to hook you up.
-Please. We're starving.
Watch this.
Partner.
What's all this?
What...
Why you got on an apron?
Work on my grill skills.
No, Mike,
you got to earn the grill.
This takes seasonings
and temperatures.
You can't just be cooking
on my grill.
Your grill?
Joker, this is a public park.
You don't own
every grill you see.
You know what, Mike?
Why don't you go make some
potato salad and set the table.
Oh, you talking dirty.
Now, look, I-I don't know
what you got going on
with your barbecue dictatorship
in your mind,
but I ain't the one.
I'm cooking on this grill
whether you like it or not.
-Hey, Mike...
-Excuse me, sirs.
You're not...
Why you...
What you doing, Reggie?
Request permission
to cook my chicken.
(Mike and Marcus laughing)
Permission denied, Reggie.
Go ahead somewhere, man.
Take your smock off
and go play with the kids.
Listen, this is the...
this is the man area
of the-the barbecue.

All due respect, we appreciate
that you did save people
that we love.
-We appreciate that, right?
-Yeah, we appreciate that.
-We appreciate that
from here, Reggie. -Yeah.
-Now, back the fuck up.
-Yeah.
All right, look, I'm-I'm
willing to compromise with you.
You can work that half
of the grill-- it's small--
and I'll work this half, but...
Is he still standing there?
Yes, he is.
Huh. That's weird.
Yeah.
He think he hard now.
You need to let
that motherfucker know
he ain't cooking no chicken
out here today.
Mike, he killed 15 people
at the house.
So you not gonna handle
this shit?
Yeah, I'm gonna let that
motherfucker cook the chicken.
Yeah, there's something weird
in his eyes.
Uh, so I'm-a make
the potato salad.
-I'm-a set the table.
-Yeah.
Permission granted, Reggie.
There you go.
But you would've been madder
if I changed up

("Lights Out" by Bia and JID):
When the lights out
Still can see me shining,
I'm a lighthouse
Lights out, are you ready?
Are you ready,
are you ready?
When it's dark out
I'll show you the way
'cause I'm a lighthouse
Lights out, are you ready?
Are you ready,
are you ready?
Uh, I'm as ready
as I'll ever be
Doing things that better me
How you supposed to make it
out the block
If you don't never leave?
How you supposed to make it
out the job
If you don't never see big?
Picture all those wolves
out here made of sheepskin
French tips to my toes
down to the cuticle
Life's hard,
but it's beautiful
I've been letting go
of people
I done made excuses for
I'm just human, though
I think I need
more light than usual
When the lights out
Still can see me shining,
I'm a lighthouse
Lights out, are you ready?
Are you ready,
are you ready?
Lights out

-Lights out
-(song ends)




(audio slows to a stop)
(audio playing in reverse)
(birds chirping)
(donkey braying)
Come on.
Bring your ass on.
It's too hot out here
for this shit.
Wish I had a horse.
At least I could ride
that motherfucker.
All this free air out here,
and I still smell
your stinking ass.
I curse you, donkey.
I curse you for all lifetimes.
-(braying loudly)
-Oh!
You mother--
MIKE'S VOICE:
Fuck you, Marcus.
