You know what?
Let me tell y'all a bedtime story.
There once was a kid who went to juvie.
No gangs, no set.
Had to make friends fast.
And then, when he turned 18,
he had to ride that bus up to Graterford.
See y'all like y'all toys.
Your chains, your kicks,
your guns, your video games.
But on the inside, you're the toy.
People gonna trade your ass for a blanket.
On the inside, you the gold chain
dangling around somebody neck.
On the inside, you the shoes
on the bottom of somebody feet.
On the inside, you somebody video game.
Cool, cool, cool. Sh Shit.
Backup's outside.
[Ray] Yeah.
Hey, y'all think about what I said.
They gonna play your ass
until they break your ass.
Here you go. All right?
Stay down too.
- [Manny] I told you babies are dangerous.
- We made it out, man.
- Just keep going.
- You're getting too good at this, man.
You almost convinced me we're real DEA.
Yeah, well, real DEA
would have shot that kid, man.
Let's count that money.
[sniffs, sighs]
[Manny] You said there were only
three people in there.
Ray, we need another guy by the door
and I've been telling you this
So, what,
you want to split this with a third?
Yeah.
We need to take a break anyway, all right?
'Cause word could be getting around,
know what I'm saying?
Brother, if there's four G in there,
I'm good.
Not even close, bro.
But hey, I did love that
"who's the man of the house" shit.
What you mean? The command voice, right?
Yeah, the command voice.
- You got the gift, man.
- Ah, man. Man. Thank you, man.
But, uh, it's, uh, just
about the authority bias, man.
They just wanna
believe somebody in charge.
So you, uh, project certainty, you know?
And you don't give them no choice.
[tires screech]
- [pedestrian] Hey! Watch it!
- [Ray] Shit.
[Manny] Excuse me.
[pedestrian] Fuck you, junior.
[Manny] Lady. I respect you,

"No matter how you slice it
there's no topping you."
See, I see what that is.
[Theresa] You know,
your father ain't coming home.
How long, I don't know.
But if your aunt's fed up, stick with me.
We'll be okay, huh?
[sucks teeth] Aw, that
- Oh. [clicks tongue]
- Come on. Hey.
Happy birthday, you piece of shit.
- [chuckles]
- [inhales deeply]
[friend] I've never done any strong-arm,
but, you know,
like I said, I'm willing to learn.
I'm just trying to get back on my feet, convict.
So you found Manny?
Mm-hmm.
He didn't tell you what we do, did he?
Uh, no.
Just that youse needed muscle
for something.
Man, it's not about muscle, all right?
It's about being smart.
So, uh, you guys were close on the inside,
- right?
- [Ray, friend laugh]
I mean, not at first.
Nah, but, uh,
we came to a mutual respect, right?
[friend] So, you guys kind of like
Yeah, you getting it.
Yeah, we just take our cut
from the chaos, right?
It's like, uh [clicks tongue]
It's like when there's too many deer
in the woods, right?
You gotta call the hunters
to trim the population.
Otherwise, the deers,
they eat all the crop,
wander into the road.
So, you guys are kind of like wild deer?
[chuckles]
No, man. No, we, uh we the hunters, bro.
The city is overrun.
And we only take from the weak ones, man.
Just enough to pay our nut
for a couple of months.
And the main thing is,
these kind of people,
they they can't do anything about it.
But there's a right way to do this.
Just because
we're not real law enforcement
doesn't mean we not professional.
[whistles]
See, the key is preparation, right?
By the time we go in,
I already know the place.
And the trick is to control the situation,
all right?
They already know the drill.
DEA! DEA! Hands up! Don't even try it!
[clamoring]
[Ray] Chill out, man. Hey!
Everybody has to pay the karma tax.
See, it's not about muscle.
You see what I'm saying?
It's about attitude, real or fake.
The command voice, right?
'Cause people, they don't
they don't respect the badge
like they used to.
You know what I'm saying?
So, uh, you gotta prove
that we're the ones in charge.
Two scary motherfuckers.
[Ray chuckles] But disciplined, man.
Disciplined.
- [radio clicks]
- Take the decision out their hands.
Really about their safety, right?
Yeah. They expect to get pinched.
That's right. So the show
has got to be impeccable, man.
Fucker, don't fucking move!
Keep it fast. Don't think twice
until they're on that ground.
[Manny] Get the fuck down. Stay there!
If you're good,
they don't remember your face.
Just the badge. [chuckles]
Just the badge, man.
And if they push back,
I give them the old, you know,
"What are you doing
with your life" speech.
Or I go ballistic on them.
That part Here's the thing, Rick.
These guys
they deserve worse.
They're fucking poisoning the city.
- [cocks gun]
- [Ray] We get 'em all.
DEA!
All types.
- Don't play with me, man!
- [Ray] Get down on the ground, man.
From the corner crack dealer
to the zombies full of horse trank.
When you put them in them cuffs,
man, they all cry to Jesus, right?
They all got tattoos that say
"born to kill," "born to lose,"
- "born to die." Some shit.
- Realistic goals.
Realistic as fuck.
[lighter clicks]
[sighs deeply]
All right, don't get me wrong.
I admire the whole fucking production,
but, uh, here in the 215,
youse are gonna get your heads shot off
for two fucking G apiece.
But
drive a couple hours out to my turf,
more bang for your buck.
Off the top of my head, I could name you
three, four, five easy marks.
It's nothing but crank and bank, baby.
Huh? Hmm?
[Ray] This motherfucker, man.
You believe any of that shit?
I believe we've burned through
most of Philly, yeah.
Yeah, but you don't trust him.
If you gotta hit pause,
- I'm totally cool with that.
- No, man. Nah, nah.
Theresa, man. She need ten grand.
Yeah. I think she's sick or some shit.
- What are you talking about?
- You know, she wouldn't tell me.
You know how she is. I think it's, like,
some female shit, to be honest with you.
So
[Manny sighs]
Sherry is moving in with me.
She's gonna throw a housewarming party
or something like that.
Don't you already live there?

This dude is the patron saint
of the drug dealers.
[snorts, laughing]

but if you can't stay and face them,
wherever you're going, take me with you.
You don't have to be afraid
with me, Cully.
I wouldn't try and make you do

I wouldn't even know her.
Now, I'd rather be sick instead of her.
Yeah.
Maybe I am sick [chuckles]
maybe I am sick.
Uh, I sure as hell
miss self-medicating though.
I'm telling you, man. 'Cause sobriety

Ooh, sobriety.
Um, you know, I saw this tweaker, right?
This base head, strung out,
and I felt like [stammers] I knew her.
Like I knew exactly who she was.
It was like
Because I could feel, like, the cage
that she put herself in, you know?
My dad, he used to lock me up
just like that.
Yeah, he used to lock me
in the closet, uh,
'cause he didn't want me
catching him while he was getting high.
Didn't want me to see his ass.
And, um, I was like, "I like this."
[chuckles]
Right? I was like, "I like this. This is
I fuck with this. It's all right." Um
You know, 'cause sometimes you [sighs]
Hey, sometimes you just, like [sighs]

[voice on radio]
I was thinking maybe you left this behind
'cause you wanted to resolve
this situation.
[radio clicking]
So, you speak Morse code.
I got to tell you, buddy, this looked like
just another cooker's tragedy.
Old Randy self-immolated.
Bro, this piece of shit only
works for like half a mile.
They're right behind us.
You get it?
[voice on radio] Problem
with that scenario is this walkie-talkie,
which I can't figure.
Unless you was cops,
and this thing is not police issue.
So, I can conclude that you cocksuckers
took our money and dope.
Here's an alternative plan.
You tell me where you are,
drop the bags out the door
and this becomes a funny story
to tell your grandkids
about how you almost
got blowtorched to death,
instead of a sad story in the paper
about two bodies in the woods,
raped with shotguns.
[stammering] See
See, this guy the real deal, man.
That's the command voice, Manny.
That's the command voice
I've been telling you about, man.
You think you'd be tough to find?
In your Scooby Doo van?
See, man?
See the lame jokes, man, the threats?
- This motherfucker is the real deal, man.
- Ray, shut the fuck up.
[radio static]
Look Hey, hey, hey,
turn off up here, man. Up here.
Get off this shit, come on.
We gotta get out of here.
Fuck this shit.

Goddamn it.
[intercom chatter]
[knocks on door]
[machine beeping]
[nurse] You can't come in here.
We need to start prepping her for surgery.
We need this information now.
[breathing heavily]
[door closes]
You got a pad?
"If I die
don't fuck me.
Somebody else knew about our deal."
- What the hell were you doing?
- [paper rips]
What?
[paper rips]
[detective] All right, Mina,
you need to go in surgery.
"If I effing die
[breathing heavily]
"what an effing joke
you f-word need to know"
[monitor beeping rapidly]
"all the effing bullshit I saw."
[monitor beeping rapidly]
"Whoever they were"
Find out if any other agents
were watching that house.
[beeping slows]
You're a good agent.
You shouldn't have been out there
with no support.
[paper rips]
[detective]
Mina, you need to go into surgery.
[breathes heavily]
[detective] Mina.
Mina.
Mina. Mina. Mina. Okay.
[TV playing]
[Manny] Where are we now?
Right now, um,
I'm at, uh, 427,614
and that's not counting whatever the hell
this shit is in the sunburn gel,
and we still got all this shit.
I don't know. My fucking head hurts, man.
These guys are gonna come.
These guys are gonna come after us, man.
All they gotta do is
get their hands on somebody we know.
We weren't killers, Ray.
This isn't us.
We took candy from babies.
They wasn't from around here.
You know that, right?
You heard the voice, right?
The "Havlicek-stole-the-ball" shit.
They gotta be a group
from up north or something.
Ray, it doesn't m [stammers]
It could be someone who moved here
20 years ago and and kept his accent,
just like me.
Okay.
- Can I say something?
- Please.
- Your recon sucks, okay?
- Okay, man, we got that. All right.
Cool, man. Just fucking calm down, man.
Oh, yeah. We put those fucking badges on
and then suddenly we think
- that that shit is magic?
- [muttering]
We're not real cops, motherfucker.
We're not real dealers.
We're not shit.
Nothing
in our lives has ever been real, Ray.
Till now.
Until now.

- Let's bust this up.
- Whoa. Wait.
I'm not gonna bust these kids
just so you can know
- what kind of candy they have.
- Come on, man.
- That's part of the job, Manny.
- This is ridiculous.
You put this badge on,
it's time to play, bro.
- Okay, just listen. Ray.
- Man, what's up?
- Bro, these are babies, okay?
- Yeah, man.
They need to learn, man.
They either gonna die
or they gonna get better at this shit.
- I I I don't wanna take the risk.
- Risk? Manny, what risk?
- Fool, what you talkin' about?
- Babies are dangerous, motherfucker.
- [Manny] Stupid is dangerous.
- [Ray] Right.
Stupid is the most dangerous, Manny.
That's right.
So that's why we need to educate 'em.
Okay, let's go.

[teen] It may be Ronald.

That's a big mistake, man. It's terrible.
We can change this, man.
Let's write a children's story
that you can tell 'em
when you tuck 'em in at night.
It's called Ronald Makes
the Right Decision. All right?
So why don't you come down here,
put the gun down

Wipe them tears off your eyes first.
[wailing continues]
All right. [sighing]
All right.
Nap time for Ronald.
All right. Nap time.
Lay them little heads down.
You act right,
you may get a juice box after.
You know what?
Let me tell y'all a bedtime story.
There once was a kid who went to juvie.
No gangs, no set.
Had to make friends fast.
And then, when he turned 18,
he had to ride that bus up to Graterford.
See y'all like y'all toys.
Your chains, your kicks,
your guns, your video games.
But on the inside, you're the toy.
People gonna trade your ass for a blanket.
On the inside, you the gold chain
dangling around somebody neck.
On the inside, you the shoes
on the bottom of somebody feet.
On the inside, you somebody video game.
Cool, cool, cool. Sh Shit.
Backup's outside.
[Ray] Yeah.
Hey, y'all think about what I said.
They gonna play your ass
until they break your ass.
Here you go. All right?
Stay down too.
- [Manny] I told you babies are dangerous.
- We made it out, man.
- Just keep going.
- You're getting too good at this, man.
You almost convinced me we're real DEA.
Yeah, well, real DEA
would have shot that kid, man.
Let's count that money.
[sniffs, sighs]
[Manny] You said there were only
three people in there.
Ray, we need another guy by the door
and I've been telling you this
So, what,
you want to split this with a third?
Yeah.
We need to take a break anyway, all right?
'Cause word could be getting around,
know what I'm saying?
Brother, if there's four G in there,
I'm good.
Not even close, bro.
But hey, I did love that
"who's the man of the house" shit.
What you mean? The command voice, right?
Yeah, the command voice.
- You got the gift, man.
- Ah, man. Man. Thank you, man.
But, uh, it's, uh, just
about the authority bias, man.
They just wanna
believe somebody in charge.
So you, uh, project certainty, you know?
And you don't give them no choice.
[tires screech]
- [pedestrian] Hey! Watch it!
- [Ray] Shit.
[Manny] Excuse me.
[pedestrian] Fuck you, junior.
[Manny] Lady. I respect you,
but that's fucked up.
[horn honks]
They're just kids, brother.
Oh, which reminds me
Man, what's this, man?
Candy from babies.
[chuckles] Oh, Jolly Ranchers.
Man, you shouldn't have, man.

Raymond, do you want coffee?
Yeah. Am I making it or you?
- You know what? Never mind.

And Manny's coming to pick me up.
Degenerate.
Hey, seriously, uh

You sick?
You need money?
I can't pay anybody like that.
Hey, what I work so hard for?
You just say how much you need.
I need ten grand.
The hell you need ten grand for?
I don't expect you
to have that kind of money.
Nah, nah. It's, you know, this, uh
How are you painting
so many houses in this cold?
Interiors.
What?
[dog growls]
- Oh, forget it.
- Anything you wanna say to me today?
Yeah. Can you walk Shermie for me?
He's been cooped up all day.
Haven't you, Daddy? Yeah.
And don't forget to pick up his shit.
Shermie, you gonna take this shit or what?
- [music playing on stereo]
- [horn honks]
[Ray] Hey, what's up?
Hey, you. Come on.
[Manny] Look who's back in the game.
[breathes deeply]
What's up, Ray?
[clicks tongue]
When they let you out, convict?
Three weeks ago from Chester.
Graterford before that.
Well, say hey to Harlan for me then.
[chuckles] Uh. Nah, man. That's
That's, uh That's a whole jawn.
You know, Harlan tried to burn
some dude in segregation.
Damn. What?
[laughs, imitates explosion]
[chuckles]
[friend laughing] Yeah.
- Oh, sh
- [Ray] Hey.
Theresa. How are you?
Just peachy, shit-bird.
Bring Shermie in before he gets away.
Get What? Where he going? He a fossil.
You pick up the shit, Raymond?
Yeah, Raymond. Go pick up the shit.
All right, I'll pick up the shit.
All right. Give me a minute, man.
- [Theresa] Ray?
- Yeah?
- Come here. No, no.

- Come here, come here.
- [sighs] Man.
I want you to come in here and sit down.
Close your eyes. Close 'em.
What are you on, lady?
- [Theresa] Do as I say.
- [Ray] Okay.
Down.
[sighs] Eyes closed.
[Theresa] Open.
- [chuckles]
- You hopeless prick,
you thought I forgot. Here. [chuckling]
"No matter how you slice it
there's no topping you."
See, I see what that is.
[Theresa] You know,
your father ain't coming home.
How long, I don't know.
But if your aunt's fed up, stick with me.
We'll be okay, huh?
[sucks teeth] Aw, that
- Oh. [clicks tongue]
- Come on. Hey.
Happy birthday, you piece of shit.
- [chuckles]
- [inhales deeply]
[friend] I've never done any strong-arm,
but, you know,
like I said, I'm willing to learn.
I'm just trying to get back on my feet, convict.
So you found Manny?
Mm-hmm.
He didn't tell you what we do, did he?
Uh, no.
Just that youse needed muscle
for something.
Man, it's not about muscle, all right?
It's about being smart.
So, uh, you guys were close on the inside,
- right?
- [Ray, friend laugh]
I mean, not at first.
Nah, but, uh,
we came to a mutual respect, right?
[friend] So, you guys kind of like
Yeah, you getting it.
Yeah, we just take our cut
from the chaos, right?
It's like, uh [clicks tongue]
It's like when there's too many deer
in the woods, right?
You gotta call the hunters
to trim the population.
Otherwise, the deers,
they eat all the crop,
wander into the road.
So, you guys are kind of like wild deer?
[chuckles]
No, man. No, we, uh we the hunters, bro.
The city is overrun.
And we only take from the weak ones, man.
Just enough to pay our nut
for a couple of months.
And the main thing is,
these kind of people,
they they can't do anything about it.
But there's a right way to do this.
Just because
we're not real law enforcement
doesn't mean we not professional.
[whistles]
See, the key is preparation, right?
By the time we go in,
I already know the place.
And the trick is to control the situation,
all right?
They already know the drill.
DEA! DEA! Hands up! Don't even try it!
[clamoring]
[Ray] Chill out, man. Hey!
Everybody has to pay the karma tax.
See, it's not about muscle.
You see what I'm saying?
It's about attitude, real or fake.
The command voice, right?
'Cause people, they don't
they don't respect the badge
like they used to.
You know what I'm saying?
So, uh, you gotta prove
that we're the ones in charge.
Two scary motherfuckers.
[Ray chuckles] But disciplined, man.
Disciplined.
- [radio clicks]
- Take the decision out their hands.
Really about their safety, right?
Yeah. They expect to get pinched.
That's right. So the show
has got to be impeccable, man.
Fucker, don't fucking move!
Keep it fast. Don't think twice
until they're on that ground.
[Manny] Get the fuck down. Stay there!
If you're good,
they don't remember your face.
Just the badge. [chuckles]
Just the badge, man.
And if they push back,
I give them the old, you know,
"What are you doing
with your life" speech.
Or I go ballistic on them.
That part Here's the thing, Rick.
These guys
they deserve worse.
They're fucking poisoning the city.
- [cocks gun]
- [Ray] We get 'em all.
DEA!
All types.
- Don't play with me, man!
- [Ray] Get down on the ground, man.
From the corner crack dealer
to the zombies full of horse trank.
When you put them in them cuffs,
man, they all cry to Jesus, right?
They all got tattoos that say
"born to kill," "born to lose,"
- "born to die." Some shit.
- Realistic goals.
Realistic as fuck.
[lighter clicks]
[sighs deeply]
All right, don't get me wrong.
I admire the whole fucking production,
but, uh, here in the 215,
youse are gonna get your heads shot off
for two fucking G apiece.
But
drive a couple hours out to my turf,
more bang for your buck.
Off the top of my head, I could name you
three, four, five easy marks.
It's nothing but crank and bank, baby.
Huh? Hmm?
[Ray] This motherfucker, man.
You believe any of that shit?
I believe we've burned through
most of Philly, yeah.
Yeah, but you don't trust him.
If you gotta hit pause,
- I'm totally cool with that.
- No, man. Nah, nah.
Theresa, man. She need ten grand.
Yeah. I think she's sick or some shit.
- What are you talking about?
- You know, she wouldn't tell me.
You know how she is. I think it's, like,
some female shit, to be honest with you.
So
[Manny sighs]
Sherry is moving in with me.
She's gonna throw a housewarming party
or something like that.
Don't you already live there?
Ain't it already warm?
- Why are you like that, dude?
- I'm just asking, man.
- Look. Yo, yo. Hey, hey, Manny, Manny
- I just
- You know that I love Sherry, right?
- Yeah, you love her, but what?
But we need to figure this shit out, man.
- Get enough money in the bank.
- This is a side hustle, Ray.
This shit doesn't determine my life.
Yeah. Well, it's not a side hustle when
it's your only source of income, my guy.
See here.
She gave me this.
This dude is the patron saint
of the drug dealers.
[snorts, laughing]

Or, you know, you can become
the angel of the poor with Sherry

Okay, man. She wants me to fix this thing.

Hey.
[actor on TV] If I can borrow a horse,
I'll be leaving.
I don't know all the things
you've done, Cully,
but if you can't stay and face them,
wherever you're going, take me with you.
You don't have to be afraid
with me, Cully.
I wouldn't try and make you do
anything you didn't want to do.
[Cully] You're a woman, aren't you?
[gunshots on TV]
[Cully] Are you coming out?
Or do I come in and get you?
[gunshots on TV]
You shouldn't have left
that Apache pony outside.

- [chuckles] Thank you. Thank you.
Um.
[sucks teeth]
And I've been thinking about
when's a stranger not a stranger anymore.
The lady who raised me,
basically, uh,
she was, uh, my dad's old lady.
And, um, she took me in.
She took me in when he went down.
Did his bid.
And, uh
she's sick now, I think?
I think she's sick.
She won't She won't really say.
But I think she's sick.
And I, um
I can't stop thinking about that.
You know, like one different turn and I
I wouldn't even know her.
Now, I'd rather be sick instead of her.
Yeah.
Maybe I am sick [chuckles]
maybe I am sick.
Uh, I sure as hell
miss self-medicating though.
I'm telling you, man. 'Cause sobriety
Oh, my God [chuckles] sobriety.
Ooh, sobriety.
Um, you know, I saw this tweaker, right?
This base head, strung out,
and I felt like [stammers] I knew her.
Like I knew exactly who she was.
It was like
Because I could feel, like, the cage
that she put herself in, you know?
My dad, he used to lock me up
just like that.
Yeah, he used to lock me
in the closet, uh,
'cause he didn't want me
catching him while he was getting high.
Didn't want me to see his ass.
And, um, I was like, "I like this."
[chuckles]
Right? I was like, "I like this. This is
I fuck with this. It's all right." Um
You know, 'cause sometimes you [sighs]
Hey, sometimes you just, like [sighs]
You just You don't want to see.
You don't wanna see so much.
["I Started A Joke" playing]
[Ray] Sound like I was a dog
in a kennel, right? [chuckles]
[clears throat]
[music continues]
[whispering] Fuck.
[grunts]
[laughs]
[sniffs]
[sighs]
[Ray's friend] I hate this song.
It's so self-pitying. It's like, listen
to this guy make everything about him.
[Ray] You know, you analyze everything.
You're gonna be a lawyer someday.
[Ray's friend]
Mmm. That's what my dad says.
Shit.
[scoffs] Your dad's a cop.
[chuckles] Mmm.
[Ray inhales deeply, sniffs]
You know what cops do?
They always call you
by your full formal name.
Like, "Hey, how's it going over there,
Raymond?"
[both laugh]
"How's the homework coming along,
Marletta?"
[both chuckling]
My dad calls me Mars.
Ah, Mars.
God of war.
And a candy bar.
Mars. Mmm.
Candy.

[voice on radio]
I was thinking maybe you left this behind
'cause you wanted to resolve
this situation.
[radio clicking]
So, you speak Morse code.
I got to tell you, buddy, this looked like
just another cooker's tragedy.
Old Randy self-immolated.
Bro, this piece of shit only
works for like half a mile.
They're right behind us.
You get it?
[voice on radio] Problem
with that scenario is this walkie-talkie,
which I can't figure.
Unless you was cops,
and this thing is not police issue.
So, I can conclude that you cocksuckers
took our money and dope.
Here's an alternative plan.
You tell me where you are,
drop the bags out the door
and this becomes a funny story
to tell your grandkids
about how you almost
got blowtorched to death,
instead of a sad story in the paper
about two bodies in the woods,
raped with shotguns.
[stammering] See
See, this guy the real deal, man.
That's the command voice, Manny.
That's the command voice
I've been telling you about, man.
You think you'd be tough to find?
In your Scooby Doo van?
See, man?
See the lame jokes, man, the threats?
- This motherfucker is the real deal, man.
- Ray, shut the fuck up.
[radio static]
Look Hey, hey, hey,
turn off up here, man. Up here.
Get off this shit, come on.
We gotta get out of here.
Fuck this shit.
[radio chatter]
[firefighter] Rescue to Command,
we got one in here.
We have another one.
[radio chatter]
[gasps]
[radios screech]
[TV playing]
Fuck.
[grunting, wincing]
[breathing heavily]
[groans]
[Ray groaning]
Goddamn it.
[intercom chatter]
[knocks on door]
[machine beeping]
[nurse] You can't come in here.
We need to start prepping her for surgery.
We need this information now.
[breathing heavily]
[door closes]
You got a pad?
"If I die
don't fuck me.
Somebody else knew about our deal."
- What the hell were you doing?
- [paper rips]
What?
[paper rips]
[detective] All right, Mina,
you need to go in surgery.
"If I effing die
[breathing heavily]
"what an effing joke
you f-word need to know"
[monitor beeping rapidly]
"all the effing bullshit I saw."
[monitor beeping rapidly]
"Whoever they were"
Find out if any other agents
were watching that house.
[beeping slows]
You're a good agent.
You shouldn't have been out there
with no support.
[paper rips]
[detective]
Mina, you need to go into surgery.
[breathes heavily]
[detective] Mina.
Mina.
Mina. Mina. Mina. Okay.
[TV playing]
[Manny] Where are we now?
Right now, um,
I'm at, uh, 427,614
and that's not counting whatever the hell
this shit is in the sunburn gel,
and we still got all this shit.
I don't know. My fucking head hurts, man.
These guys are gonna come.
These guys are gonna come after us, man.
All they gotta do is
get their hands on somebody we know.
We weren't killers, Ray.
This isn't us.
We took candy from babies.
They wasn't from around here.
You know that, right?
You heard the voice, right?
The "Havlicek-stole-the-ball" shit.
They gotta be a group
from up north or something.
Ray, it doesn't m [stammers]
It could be someone who moved here
20 years ago and and kept his accent,
just like me.
Okay.
- Can I say something?
- Please.
- Your recon sucks, okay?
- Okay, man, we got that. All right.
Cool, man. Just fucking calm down, man.
Oh, yeah. We put those fucking badges on
and then suddenly we think
- that that shit is magic?
- [muttering]
We're not real cops, motherfucker.
We're not real dealers.
We're not shit.
Nothing
in our lives has ever been real, Ray.
Till now.
Until now.
