Nobody's ever gonna find it.
You OK? Don't.
C'mon, fellas, We got to make tracks.

You know what? It's too late for all this, OK? Just get over it.
Just think about how you want to take your ass back to jail, OK? Let's get out of here.
Look, there's one other thing You think that girl saw us? She wanted to be cremated.
She did? Yeah, she mentioned it once.
She say anything to you? No, people her age don't, usually.
I don't want her to be cremated I want her to be buried.
I want there to be a marker I can go to.

But I'm her daughter.
And he's her husband, and she would want you both to be happy in this decision.
And there's my father, too.
My real father.
Who you haven't heard from yet.
Actually, I have.
He's on his way.
He should be here tomorrow.
I'll be going home with him.
He lives in Hawaii.
Why don't we try this? Why don't you, tammy, tell me how you would like to see the services go? What you want.
Well, that hasn't really meant a lot in this family.
You don't really mean that.
I'm sorry.
Did you change houses? Change schools? Our house is a hardship? The house was your mother's idea.
It's what she wanted for you.
Yeah, because you didn't want to live in another man's house.
OK, is Wanda what we're really talking about here? I don't know.
I don't even know what we're talking about.
I don't even know why I'm here.
Do whatever you want.
OK, OK.
Whatever she wants.
Hey, it matters.
Then maybe you should tell her.
Look, you handle your shit, father.
I'll handle mine.
Here's his share.
Nick wants us to split it up.
You know that asshole won the pool, too? Izzy called it.
She only gave birth to my baby boy this morning.
I just heard.
Really? Sure.
Congratulations.
Elmo Joseph Rahim Jones.
Little man, finally.
Goddamn Izzy.
Some people just can't help stepping in shit.
Are you going to take yours? I'm taking it.
How's it going? It's going.
Anything you need, brother.
Just say the word.
24/7, baby.
OK, thanks.
OK, what's so important? So, you know not everyone wanted to We seem to have a difference of opinion.
No, no, we don't.
We just want to be on the same page, that's all.
About what? The kid.
Which kid? What kid you think? She's going to live with her father in hawaii after the funeral.
End of story.
Anything else? See? I told you.
All right.
I got people waiting.
It's Wanda's car.
Just so we know, Hawaii ain't the other side of the planet.
What are you saying? We need to know if she saw us, dog.
Who says? Lieutenant Tupac? Oh chill with that, man.
Look, all I'm saying, If the child gets in trouble in Hawaii, Which ain't on the other side of the planet, ends up in a police department like she did the other day, then what? Says the wrong thing.
You tell me.
I talked to her.
She won't be telling anybody anything because she didn't see anything.
You know what I'm saying? And just so we're clear, if anybody messes with her, he messes with me.
I didn't know you were home.
Have a good day? Yeah, yeah.
I had lunch at the club.
Audrey sends her best.
When were you going to tell me about internal affairs? Your friend should mind her own business.
But you were going to tell me? There's nothing to tell.
It'll blow over.
Could they bring charges? Nope.
But someone brought a complaint, didn't they? I mean, that's how it works, isn't it? That's how it works.
I got it all under control.
Let's just leave it at that, all right? But they can take your pension, can't they? Everything that we have worked for.
They won't.
How did you know? Because I know, all right? First you stop with what's his name? You cut off a big part you know what? If I hadn't started with what's-his-name in the first place None of this shit woulda happened.
Let's not get too confused about that, all right? But you don't talk to me about any of it.
Well, I don't need this shit, honey.
- I risk my life - Do you have any idea how humiliating that is? Come on now! Bullshit.
Give me a break.
I'm not sure I can do this anymore, John.
Live like this.
I'm not confused about that.
What's going on? Officer Charles.
Officer Gains, sir.
What's this all about? A follow up on the break-in incident that your stepdaughter was involved with.
You're questioning her without a parent present? Is this the proper policy? We were waiting for you.
Well, she wasn't involved.
She didn't even go into the building, that was some other kids.
That may be true.
Her mother just passed away And here you are, grilling.
Go to your room.
What? Go.
Our apologies, sir.
It's just that some computers turned up missing.
And we thought she Well, your step-daughter might Her name is Tammy.
Well, we hoped Tammy might be able to give us a couple of names.
Point us in a direction.
No, you want to talk to Tammy, call my lawyer and make an appointment.
Anything else, officers? Sorry to bother you, sir.
I didn't say anything.
About what? Is there something you want to say to me, Tam? Or ask me? It's okay.
No.
It's your mom's sketchbooks.
Do you mind if I take them? No, go ahead.
I mean, take it all.
The oils, the pastels.
She'd want you to have them.
She always said you were more talented.
I just want a painting or two.
It's business.
I guess somebody wants you.
Yeah, what is it? God bless you.
It's for a friend.
Maybe this job isn't such a great idea right now, Nick.
Don't ignore your circumstances.
My circumstances are I have a crew I need to make whole Because our last job didn't pay like you said it would.
Those are my circumstances.
OK.
Then I say bullshit.
You want to spin the facts for your boys, go ahead, but don't play me.
One, you are in mourning.
Two, I know about your finances.
Katrina did in a lot of businesses, not just mine.
Come on.
You were having trouble before Katrina arrived.
Priorities change.
Methods change.
That happens, I start losing sleep.
Well, how I do my job will never change.
All I'm saying, Nick, is bury your wife.
Get your head straight.
I need a fence, Roz, not a shrink.
And I need a partner, Nick.
And I'm not sure I have one.
How many gigs have we done together, 11, 12? San francisco, the only hiccup.
All the rest DHL, the banks, Tulsa, you name it, done right, money all around, nobody gets hurt.
It's win-win.
We've been good.
Some might even say the best.
But where would you be If I hadn't been on your doorstep when Ben died? You forget, I'm the one who put you on the map.
That's how I was a friend.
I have one condition.
I reserve the right to pull the plug.
Take it or leave it.
It's my ass, too.
What are you, my chaperone? Your rules, your attention to detail, all that makes me feel safe.
Anything less messes with my peace of mind and I won't allow it, even with you.
I'm not going to jail for anyone.
The guy in New York? In due time, my friend.
OK.
Nick, I hope you understand I won't be at the funeral.
Yeah.
I'll be there in spirit.
Roz, relax.
It's me your talking to.
Nothing's changed.
A to Z, soup to nuts.
It's all under control.
OK, here it is.
We have nineteen days.
Nineteen? That's right.
Short prep.
All right, so what? What's the good news? Thirty to fourty million dollars.
Fourty? Four zero.
That's the number.
Damn, that's my kind of upside.
Shit, Numbers like that, Sharone will let me camp my ass down here for a year.
OK, pay attention.
Here it is.
Two times a year, the U.
S.
government moves a quantity of money from New York city to BogotÃÆá, Columbia, in order to help fund the war on drugs.
the war is official, the money is not.
This is black ops money.
Off the record, pay off the local farmers, support the cause, walking around money.
One minute it's there, the next it's not.
Now, the thing is, all this money, they send it on a commercial airliner.
Passengers above, cargo below, just like it's regular luggage.
And they don't worry about it because, well, it's insured.
Anyway, anything happens, the money goes missing, plane crashes, whatever, the airlines' insurance picks up the tab, pays Uncle Sam back.
We're going to do it on the plane in the air.
- The DHL thing again.
- Yeah, with a few wrinkles.
Alright, so we get to go to BogotÃÆá? No, we take it off here.
The flight makes a connection here, goes on the Mexico city and then on to Colombia.
They won't know that they've been hit until they get there.
If we do it right, get lucky, maybe not until the day after.
Either way, by then we'll be long gone.
The authorities will turn Colombia upside down thinking it happened down there.
I got assignments.
Mump, you're on tools, cash only.
Gabo, satcom units.
Phone line for a back up.
Elmo, you're on intel.
Grab your lunchpail, you're taking a job.
Fourty million dollars not enough? We're getting sissy in our old age.
Lots of big firsts.
Well, you wanted a score.
Here it is, biggest ever.
It's pretty short prep time.
Come on, we took what, four months doing the dhl job? San Francisco was three.
Well, we pulled DHL without a hitch.
And we're half prepped as far as I'm concerned.
We're good to go.
And we're hitting the U.
S.
government.
Long memories, lots of guns.
This is it.
This is what I have.
Ante up.
Sergeant, what a nice surprise? What are you doing here, counselor? Same as you, officer of the court attending to business.
Yeah, right.
I spoke with your wife.
She seems at her wit's end.
You should stay away from my wife.
Financial hardship can put a real strain on many marriages, John.
You heard what I said.
Now, stay away from her.
I can do that.
It's not a problem.
All we need is an address.
A simple matter of friends helping friends.
We're not friends.
Oh, but we are friends.
And you of all people should know, John, that real friends are not so easily discarded.
Get the address.
Make the call.
Wise up.
Maybe she won't leave you.
It's the blouse my mom wore Into that restaurant at Disney World.
Hey All right.
Stop.
Stop.
I didn't tell you that the cops came by the other day, asked me again about your little stunt.
If I could name any names.
You didn't say anything, did you? Jesus, Tam.
You scared the hell out of me.
Don't do that, OK? Can you imagine if the cops came to my house? My parents would be completely freaked out.
I'd never hear the end of it, you know? I'm really glad I could help you out.
I'm sorry, OK? I'm an idiot.
OK.
Look, I have to get dressed.
Look, I have something for you.
What do you think of that? What is this, a reward? No, it's not a reward It's just a, you know, everything you've been going through, maybe you can forget it.
It's OK.
But here, just in case.
Thanks.
Look, you should go.
OK.
Do you forgive me? Kind of? I'll see you later.
I'll see you at the funeral, OK? Hey, get a pen, tonto.
Here it is.
623 perrier.
623 what? Perrier.
P-E-R-R-I-E-R? Got it.
I've been living in the dream world.
Everybody steals.
Biggest thieves in the country got their names on fortune 500 companies, Enron, Worldcom.
There's no such thing as a straight life.
I don't know what I was thinking.
You was thinking about Wanda.
We all think about going straight one time or another.
Why should you be different? One dream dies and another's born.
Who said that? Anyway you slice it, man, We're a long way from OP.
Think about it.
Orchard Park, Roxbury? Huh? We survived.
Lots of people we came up with didn't.
That's no small thing.
We got the tits end, man.
Who lives like us, huh? Bro, we got our piece of the pie, and we did it all ourselves.
You and me, with our own two hands.
To hell with them fatcats from Enron.
They got nothing on us.
It'll get better, man.
Not better than Wanda.
Give it time, man.
But right now, you got to get up on that horse.
You know what I'm saying? You're right.
Play the hand you're dealt is what I say.
I know what I want.
What's that? I'm the brother wants his 40 million and a mule.
The thing about my job is whatever I'm told I keep in total confidence.
It's part of the job description.
Kind of like a lawyer.
A slightly higher standard, actually.
It's just that my mom was the one that I could talk to about everything, you know.
It's good to have someone like that.
Have you talked to your stepfather? Well, I'm a poor substitute but you can always talk to me.
You mean, like confession? Well, if you like.
Right here? I prefer small, dark places but this will do.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Who eats all this? I do.
You want me to fix you something hot? This is fine.
I'm not that hungry.
I tried to reach your father.
I got his machine.
We still haven't talked.
I'm trying to you know, figure out if he has any plans for you.
Those guys the other night.
What about them? They were business associates, you said? Car people.
They didn't look like car people.
Well, neither do I According to some.
I can't know everything about my customers or their cars.
Anything else? I found something.
Who's Mark Gueno? Your mother did this.
It's a gag.
It's fake? You know your mom, always a prank.
You didn't think it was real, did you? It doesn't look fake.
What do you think? I'm a spy? Double-o soul? Hi daddy.
I know, I miss you so much.
I can't wait to be there.
I'm almost packed.
Mm-hmm, It's about to go down, Nick.
Call you back later.
Hoy hombre.
There's no rest for the working man.
Are you okay? This is seriously jacked up, man.
It is what it is, man.
I can't get izzy out of my head.
I mean he's in my dreams now.
He's screaming and hollering and he just won't stop.
It's like one of them scenes in a horror movie.
Now, we got to worry about Nick's kid.
She saw us.
She saw us, man.
Your ride's here.
Shit.
It's easy to steal.
Mm-hmm, Well, what happened to the San Francisco money? That's $41,000.
Well, like you said, I have creditors, and you sent the cash back, right? I had my problems solved up to that point.
Now, I'm going to need to come out of pocket in a big way on this one, so I'm coming to you.
I need cash.
I can handle the outs, the tools, the communications, but I got construction costs this time and that's not going to come cheap.
OK.
As long as we're square.
Upfront money comes out of dollar one, as usual.
Deal.
I'll come by later.
No, Manny, Manny, listen to me.
The Thoriah, The Israeli version Yeah, I want single-hop link.
You got it? Good.
Yeah, satellite and GSM, right.
Uh-huh.
Thank you, call me back.
I didn't ask about oxygen.
You think we're going to need oxygen up there? All I know is I got the shit end of this stink again.
You know what, man? You bitch more than a chick.
Why I got to be the one to have a job? Because nick saved your life.
You know why I steal? What, 'cause your black? So I don't have to punch a damn time clock.
Work for no damn slave wages.
What do I like? Well, my tastes actually are pretty unsophisticated, I'm afraid to say.
The truth is, I'm just a tourist.
Don't apologize.
You're here.
Do you like modern art? Modern art? Not really.
Not after the '60s anyway; Pop art, warhol, grooms, rivers, that crop, mostly ruined the modern art movement.
Ruined? I might make an exception for johns and hockney, But that's just me.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
I'm probably embarrassing myself, aren't I? Not at all.
My name is Lala.
Gabriel.
My friends call me Gabo.
I'm married.
Of course you are.
I've seen felons look happier to see me.
Yeah, well, I wasn't expecting you.
I got a little surprise here for you.
Yeah, what's that? From what's-his-name.
Really? Really.
Hope it's not stock tips again.
Does he think we're the trumps? Oh my God.
Hey, baby, Don't close that door on me just yet, huh? I still got a few good moves left in me.
John.
I'm going to fix all this.
Get us back to normal.
It's just going to take a little time, that's all.
John.
Hey, everything's gonna be all right.
Right as rain, honey.
Right as rain.
No.
It won't.
It really won't.
And if you refuse to see it, there's not a thing I can do.
I gotta go.
He didn't you tell when he was arriving? He said he'll be here.
He'll be here.
Yeah, but no details, time, flight? Look, I can't tell you what I don't know.
It's unbelievable.
It's perfect.
On his way.
He make any plans for you? He didn't say.
Besides, we couldn't exactly talk while father Bill was here.
What? Father Bill came by last night.
I wanted to talk and we talked.
He listened.
You talked? Yeah.
I confessed.
You confessed? Yeah.
Here, in the middle of the night? It wasn't in the middle of the night.
Well, why? What was so important? I don't have to tell you.
Tammy, let me help you wrap your head around this.
No, I don't have to tell you.
I don't have to tell anyone anything.
That's the way it works.
Can we just go? Hey, Bill, I'm sorry.
I just need two minutes.
You you gave Tammy confession? No.
Well, she said you did, last night at the house.
Well, I don't remember that.
Why would she lie? I'm not saying she's lying.
No, she's not lying, you are.
Look at you, you're lying.
I'm her step-father.
And I'm her priest.
She's a child.
She's 14 years old.
And she deserves the same understandings and considerations that you would get, that you might one day need.
And what the hell does that mean? It means that my lack of memory serves everyone equally.
Oh, you call yourself a goddamn priest.
Not in those words.
She's a child, OK? You can't forget that.
- I don't.
- She just lost her mother.
I know, and you just lost your wife.
Nick, we have some time here.
Is there something that you would like to talk about? Look after Tammy's soul and we'll call ourselves even.
You came into our lives, we didn't come into yours.
You steal, you pay.
I gave the money back.
Now I need names.
This fuse? Thirty-four minutes to burn from end to end, the moment I light it.
That makes a hole.
Not enough to kill, so you bleed to death.
Everyone talks, everyone.
People think of death as a separation.
We here in the south, we have a gift for separation.
If there is a south, then there must be a north.
If and east, a west, a black, a white, we have insisted on separation.
The names.
I give you names, you'll kill me anyway.
The names.
And our separations have found their ways into our very souls.
To maintain these separations, we make ourselves strangers To our own hearts, our desires and our needs.
Only one separation we do not tolerate.
We have never separated ourselves from our dead.
We walk with them and they walk with us.
Give me the names.
Father Bill said I should speak from my heart.
I don't know if I can do that, my heart is breaking.
My mom always said that you should save your truth for the people that you love.
No one else deserves it.
No one else should get it.
You're here because you loved her, so I'll give you my truth.
The truth.
The truth is she was a better mother than I was a daughter.
We were arguing.
She wanted to wait until we got home and I didn't, and she didn't see the car.
And I keep thinking that maybe If Then she would be I was a part of it, I set it up, I financed it.
I never saw anyone, it was all just voices on a phone.
A man tries to protect what he loves.
The builds walls, he keeps the world out, so the people he loves stay safe, especially if the world he grew up in was never safe.
Your mother changed me.
She made me want to be things I never thought I could ever be.
Her courage made me brave and her hope gave me hope.
But walls don't hold.
I swear to you, I don't have any names.
I swear to you.
You didn't fail,Tam.
You are everything she ever hoped you would be.
You're more, and I'm the one who needs to do better, and I pray that I can.
OK.
OK.
I believe you.
Tam? Hang on a second.
Just that was my dad.
And? He never even left.
Things got complicated.
Son of a bitch.
What's wrong with this guy? Well, whoever he is, at least he doesn't shoot people.
Tam, hey.
Tam? Tam?
Benjamins, baby.
Izzy.
Izzy, you're out.
No, no.
I don't accept this.

Officer Gains, sir.
What's this all about? A follow up on the break-in incident that your stepdaughter was involved with.
You're questioning her without a parent present? Is this the proper policy? We were waiting for you.
Well, she wasn't involved.
She didn't even go into the building, that was some other kids.
That may be true.
Her mother just passed away And here you are, grilling.
Go to your room.
What? Go.
Our apologies, sir.
It's just that some computers turned up missing.
And we thought she Well, your step-daughter might Her name is Tammy.
Well, we hoped Tammy might be able to give us a couple of names.
Point us in a direction.
No, you want to talk to Tammy, call my lawyer and make an appointment.
Anything else, officers? Sorry to bother you, sir.
I didn't say anything.
About what? Is there something you want to say to me, Tam? Or ask me? It's okay.
No.
It's your mom's sketchbooks.
Do you mind if I take them? No, go ahead.
I mean, take it all.
The oils, the pastels.
She'd want you to have them.
She always said you were more talented.
I just want a painting or two.
It's business.
I guess somebody wants you.
Yeah, what is it? God bless you.
It's for a friend.
Maybe this job isn't such a great idea right now, Nick.
Don't ignore your circumstances.
My circumstances are I have a crew I need to make whole Because our last job didn't pay like you said it would.
Those are my circumstances.
OK.
Then I say bullshit.
You want to spin the facts for your boys, go ahead, but don't play me.
One, you are in mourning.
Two, I know about your finances.
Katrina did in a lot of businesses, not just mine.
Come on.
You were having trouble before Katrina arrived.
Priorities change.
Methods change.
That happens, I start losing sleep.
Well, how I do my job will never change.
All I'm saying, Nick, is bury your wife.
Get your head straight.
I need a fence, Roz, not a shrink.
And I need a partner, Nick.
And I'm not sure I have one.
How many gigs have we done together, 11, 12? San francisco, the only hiccup.
All the rest DHL, the banks, Tulsa, you name it, done right, money all around, nobody gets hurt.
It's win-win.
We've been good.
Some might even say the best.
But where would you be If I hadn't been on your doorstep when Ben died? You forget, I'm the one who put you on the map.
That's how I was a friend.
I have one condition.
I reserve the right to pull the plug.
Take it or leave it.
It's my ass, too.
What are you, my chaperone? Your rules, your attention to detail, all that makes me feel safe.
Anything less messes with my peace of mind and I won't allow it, even with you.
I'm not going to jail for anyone.
The guy in New York? In due time, my friend.
OK.
Nick, I hope you understand I won't be at the funeral.
Yeah.
I'll be there in spirit.
Roz, relax.
It's me your talking to.
Nothing's changed.
A to Z, soup to nuts.
It's all under control.
OK, here it is.
We have nineteen days.
Nineteen? That's right.
Short prep.
All right, so what? What's the good news? Thirty to fourty million dollars.
Fourty? Four zero.
That's the number.
Damn, that's my kind of upside.
Shit, Numbers like that, Sharone will let me camp my ass down here for a year.
OK, pay attention.
Here it is.
Two times a year, the U.
S.
government moves a quantity of money from New York city to BogotÃÆá, Columbia, in order to help fund the war on drugs.
the war is official, the money is not.
This is black ops money.
Off the record, pay off the local farmers, support the cause, walking around money.
One minute it's there, the next it's not.
Now, the thing is, all this money, they send it on a commercial airliner.
Passengers above, cargo below, just like it's regular luggage.
And they don't worry about it because, well, it's insured.
Anyway, anything happens, the money goes missing, plane crashes, whatever, the airlines' insurance picks up the tab, pays Uncle Sam back.
We're going to do it on the plane in the air.
- The DHL thing again.
- Yeah, with a few wrinkles.
Alright, so we get to go to BogotÃÆá? No, we take it off here.
The flight makes a connection here, goes on the Mexico city and then on to Colombia.
They won't know that they've been hit until they get there.
If we do it right, get lucky, maybe not until the day after.
Either way, by then we'll be long gone.
The authorities will turn Colombia upside down thinking it happened down there.
I got assignments.
Mump, you're on tools, cash only.
Gabo, satcom units.
Phone line for a back up.
Elmo, you're on intel.
Grab your lunchpail, you're taking a job.
Fourty million dollars not enough? We're getting sissy in our old age.
Lots of big firsts.
Well, you wanted a score.
Here it is, biggest ever.
It's pretty short prep time.
Come on, we took what, four months doing the dhl job? San Francisco was three.
Well, we pulled DHL without a hitch.
And we're half prepped as far as I'm concerned.
We're good to go.
And we're hitting the U.
S.
government.
Long memories, lots of guns.
This is it.
This is what I have.
Ante up.
Sergeant, what a nice surprise? What are you doing here, counselor? Same as you, officer of the court attending to business.
Yeah, right.
I spoke with your wife.
She seems at her wit's end.
You should stay away from my wife.
Financial hardship can put a real strain on many marriages, John.
You heard what I said.
Now, stay away from her.
I can do that.
It's not a problem.
All we need is an address.
A simple matter of friends helping friends.
We're not friends.
Oh, but we are friends.
And you of all people should know, John, that real friends are not so easily discarded.
Get the address.
Make the call.
Wise up.
Maybe she won't leave you.
It's the blouse my mom wore Into that restaurant at Disney World.
Hey All right.
Stop.
Stop.
I didn't tell you that the cops came by the other day, asked me again about your little stunt.
If I could name any names.
You didn't say anything, did you? Jesus, Tam.
You scared the hell out of me.
Don't do that, OK? Can you imagine if the cops came to my house? My parents would be completely freaked out.
I'd never hear the end of it, you know? I'm really glad I could help you out.
I'm sorry, OK? I'm an idiot.
OK.
Look, I have to get dressed.
Look, I have something for you.
What do you think of that? What is this, a reward? No, it's not a reward It's just a, you know, everything you've been going through, maybe you can forget it.
It's OK.
But here, just in case.
Thanks.
Look, you should go.
OK.
Do you forgive me? Kind of? I'll see you later.
I'll see you at the funeral, OK? Hey, get a pen, tonto.
Here it is.
623 perrier.
623 what? Perrier.
P-E-R-R-I-E-R? Got it.
I've been living in the dream world.
Everybody steals.
Biggest thieves in the country got their names on fortune 500 companies, Enron, Worldcom.
There's no such thing as a straight life.
I don't know what I was thinking.
You was thinking about Wanda.
We all think about going straight one time or another.
Why should you be different? One dream dies and another's born.
Who said that? Anyway you slice it, man, We're a long way from OP.
Think about it.
Orchard Park, Roxbury? Huh? We survived.
Lots of people we came up with didn't.
That's no small thing.
We got the tits end, man.
Who lives like us, huh? Bro, we got our piece of the pie, and we did it all ourselves.
You and me, with our own two hands.
To hell with them fatcats from Enron.
They got nothing on us.
It'll get better, man.
Not better than Wanda.
Give it time, man.
But right now, you got to get up on that horse.
You know what I'm saying? You're right.
Play the hand you're dealt is what I say.
I know what I want.
What's that? I'm the brother wants his 40 million and a mule.
The thing about my job is whatever I'm told I keep in total confidence.
It's part of the job description.
Kind of like a lawyer.
A slightly higher standard, actually.
It's just that my mom was the one that I could talk to about everything, you know.
It's good to have someone like that.
Have you talked to your stepfather? Well, I'm a poor substitute but you can always talk to me.
You mean, like confession? Well, if you like.
Right here? I prefer small, dark places but this will do.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Who eats all this? I do.
You want me to fix you something hot? This is fine.
I'm not that hungry.
I tried to reach your father.
I got his machine.
We still haven't talked.
I'm trying to you know, figure out if he has any plans for you.
Those guys the other night.
What about them? They were business associates, you said? Car people.
They didn't look like car people.
Well, neither do I According to some.
I can't know everything about my customers or their cars.
Anything else? I found something.
Who's Mark Gueno? Your mother did this.
It's a gag.
It's fake? You know your mom, always a prank.
You didn't think it was real, did you? It doesn't look fake.
What do you think? I'm a spy? Double-o soul? Hi daddy.
I know, I miss you so much.
I can't wait to be there.
I'm almost packed.
Mm-hmm, It's about to go down, Nick.
Call you back later.
Hoy hombre.
There's no rest for the working man.
Are you okay? This is seriously jacked up, man.
It is what it is, man.
I can't get izzy out of my head.
I mean he's in my dreams now.
He's screaming and hollering and he just won't stop.
It's like one of them scenes in a horror movie.
Now, we got to worry about Nick's kid.
She saw us.
She saw us, man.
Your ride's here.
Shit.
It's easy to steal.
Mm-hmm, Well, what happened to the San Francisco money? That's $41,000.
Well, like you said, I have creditors, and you sent the cash back, right? I had my problems solved up to that point.
Now, I'm going to need to come out of pocket in a big way on this one, so I'm coming to you.
I need cash.
I can handle the outs, the tools, the communications, but I got construction costs this time and that's not going to come cheap.
OK.
As long as we're square.
Upfront money comes out of dollar one, as usual.
Deal.
I'll come by later.
No, Manny, Manny, listen to me.
The Thoriah, The Israeli version Yeah, I want single-hop link.
You got it? Good.
Yeah, satellite and GSM, right.
Uh-huh.
Thank you, call me back.
I didn't ask about oxygen.
You think we're going to need oxygen up there? All I know is I got the shit end of this stink again.
You know what, man? You bitch more than a chick.
Why I got to be the one to have a job? Because nick saved your life.
You know why I steal? What, 'cause your black? So I don't have to punch a damn time clock.
Work for no damn slave wages.
What do I like? Well, my tastes actually are pretty unsophisticated, I'm afraid to say.
The truth is, I'm just a tourist.
Don't apologize.
You're here.
Do you like modern art? Modern art? Not really.
Not after the '60s anyway; Pop art, warhol, grooms, rivers, that crop, mostly ruined the modern art movement.
Ruined? I might make an exception for johns and hockney, But that's just me.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
I'm probably embarrassing myself, aren't I? Not at all.
My name is Lala.
Gabriel.
My friends call me Gabo.
I'm married.
Of course you are.
I've seen felons look happier to see me.
Yeah, well, I wasn't expecting you.
I got a little surprise here for you.
Yeah, what's that? From what's-his-name.
Really? Really.
Hope it's not stock tips again.
Does he think we're the trumps? Oh my God.
Hey, baby, Don't close that door on me just yet, huh? I still got a few good moves left in me.
John.
I'm going to fix all this.
Get us back to normal.
It's just going to take a little time, that's all.
John.
Hey, everything's gonna be all right.
Right as rain, honey.
Right as rain.
No.
It won't.
It really won't.
And if you refuse to see it, there's not a thing I can do.
I gotta go.
He didn't you tell when he was arriving? He said he'll be here.
He'll be here.
Yeah, but no details, time, flight? Look, I can't tell you what I don't know.
It's unbelievable.
It's perfect.
On his way.
He make any plans for you? He didn't say.
Besides, we couldn't exactly talk while father Bill was here.
What? Father Bill came by last night.
I wanted to talk and we talked.
He listened.
You talked? Yeah.
I confessed.
You confessed? Yeah.
Here, in the middle of the night? It wasn't in the middle of the night.
Well, why? What was so important? I don't have to tell you.
Tammy, let me help you wrap your head around this.
No, I don't have to tell you.
I don't have to tell anyone anything.
That's the way it works.
Can we just go? Hey, Bill, I'm sorry.
I just need two minutes.
You you gave Tammy confession? No.
Well, she said you did, last night at the house.
Well, I don't remember that.
Why would she lie? I'm not saying she's lying.
No, she's not lying, you are.
Look at you, you're lying.
I'm her step-father.
And I'm her priest.
She's a child.
She's 14 years old.
And she deserves the same understandings and considerations that you would get, that you might one day need.
And what the hell does that mean? It means that my lack of memory serves everyone equally.
Oh, you call yourself a goddamn priest.
Not in those words.
She's a child, OK? You can't forget that.
- I don't.
- She just lost her mother.
I know, and you just lost your wife.
Nick, we have some time here.
Is there something that you would like to talk about? Look after Tammy's soul and we'll call ourselves even.
You came into our lives, we didn't come into yours.
You steal, you pay.
I gave the money back.
Now I need names.
This fuse? Thirty-four minutes to burn from end to end, the moment I light it.
That makes a hole.
Not enough to kill, so you bleed to death.
Everyone talks, everyone.
People think of death as a separation.
We here in the south, we have a gift for separation.
If there is a south, then there must be a north.
If and east, a west, a black, a white, we have insisted on separation.
The names.
I give you names, you'll kill me anyway.
The names.
And our separations have found their ways into our very souls.
To maintain these separations, we make ourselves strangers To our own hearts, our desires and our needs.
Only one separation we do not tolerate.
We have never separated ourselves from our dead.
We walk with them and they walk with us.
Give me the names.
Father Bill said I should speak from my heart.
I don't know if I can do that, my heart is breaking.
My mom always said that you should save your truth for the people that you love.
No one else deserves it.
No one else should get it.
You're here because you loved her, so I'll give you my truth.
The truth.
The truth is she was a better mother than I was a daughter.
We were arguing.
She wanted to wait until we got home and I didn't, and she didn't see the car.
And I keep thinking that maybe If Then she would be I was a part of it, I set it up, I financed it.
I never saw anyone, it was all just voices on a phone.
A man tries to protect what he loves.
The builds walls, he keeps the world out, so the people he loves stay safe, especially if the world he grew up in was never safe.
Your mother changed me.
She made me want to be things I never thought I could ever be.
Her courage made me brave and her hope gave me hope.
But walls don't hold.
I swear to you, I don't have any names.
I swear to you.
You didn't fail,Tam.
You are everything she ever hoped you would be.
You're more, and I'm the one who needs to do better, and I pray that I can.
OK.
OK.
I believe you.
Tam? Hang on a second.
Just that was my dad.
And? He never even left.
Things got complicated.
Son of a bitch.
What's wrong with this guy? Well, whoever he is, at least he doesn't shoot people.
Tam, hey.
Tam? Tam?
