- Your daddy's so stupid,
he put a piece of paper on top of his TV
and called all his friends
talking about how he got pay-per-view.
- [Group] Ooh.
- Ooh, your mama's so stupid,
she couldn't figure out how 50 Cent's new song
cost 99 cents.
- [Group] Ooh.
- Ria, Ria, you wanna hear something funny?
Are you listening?
Your daddy's so stupid,
he took a ruler to bed to see how long he slept.
- [Group] Ooh.
- [Boy] Ooh, ooh, your mama's so stupid,
she made a dentist appointment to get Bluetooth.
- [Group] Ooh.
- Ooh, I got an even better one.
Your daddy is so-
- My daddy's dead.
- Oh, well that's too bad.
Sounds like that loser got what he deserved.
(group chattering)
Aw, did I hurt your feelings?
(group laughing)
(head bangs) (group gasping)
My nose, she broke my nose.
(scoffs) It was just a joke.
(Principal Taylor sighs)
(nails tapping)
(Ria sighs)
(door clicks)
- You Principal Taylor?
- Yes. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I just got the call.
I was at work.
Ria's mom couldn't make it.
So this is quite unexpected.
I'm sorry.
- [Principal Taylor] Did Ria's mom fill you
in on what happened?
- Yes ma'am, she did.
- So I shouldn't have to tell you that this
is not acceptable.
Not in the least.
- I understand.
And if Ria doesn't already understand,
I'm sure she'll understand once we talk.
- Well, we need to decide-
- Ma'am, I don't mean to interrupt you.
I'm really sorry,
but I gotta a really full work schedule
and this wasn't part of it.
Now, I don't mean to be rude,
but the young man or the boy that's involved is, is he okay?
Is he in the hospital?
Is he alive?
- Yes, last I checked he'll be fine,
but that's not the point.
- Well, I just came here to pick up my granddaughter.
I'm gonna take her home
and her mom and I are going to talk about all this.
That's really the only reason I'm here.
- Okay.
- I'm sorry to take up your time.
Thank you.
The boy is he, is he okay?
- He'll be fine.
- Okay.
Ria, let's go.
Ria, I said let's go.
(door clicks)
(Principal Taylor sighs)
(birds chirping)
You are saying that this boy said,
your dad deserved to be dead.
Is that what you're saying?
- Yes.
- Yeah, well, he shouldn't have said that to you.
No matter what he said,
you can't just go up to a boy at lunchtime
and slam his head on the table, Ria.
You can get in a lot of trouble for that.
- Yes, I know, Pa.
I'm sorry.
- Sorry's not good enough, Ria.
Get in a lot of trouble, even go to the reform school.
So don't you ever do anything like that again, you hear me?
- Yes, yes.
- Ria, listen, if that ever happens again,
catch that boy outside.
Make sure nobody's around, no witnesses
and you beat his ass.
You understand?
Don't you let anybody disrespect the memory of your father?
You understand?
Good.
(brooding music)
All right, let's go home.
- Baby, what's wrong?
(ominous music)
(fast tempo brooding music)
(Ria panting)
(gloves thudding)
- And keep your wrist straight, okay?
(Ria exhaling)
(gloves thudding)
(Ria exhaling)
(rope tapping)
(man vocalizing)
(gloves thudding) (Ria grunts)
(Ria exhaling)
Step and pivot.
(Ria exhaling)

(water splashing)
(bell rings) (group chattering)

(group cheering)
(Ria exhaling) (gloves thudding)

- Let's see, let's see, holler.
- Ah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(phone dings)
- Girl, will it ever stop blowing up?
- I know, right?
Oh, but this is my mom.
- [Mimi] How's Miss Lori been?
- You know, she's good.
We haven't really talked a lot lately.
We both try at different times, but you know us,
we can't get it together.
- Yeah, but hey, 30 in a row, girl,
that's a hell of a streak.
- 30.
I'm only worried about winning one in a row, baby,
you know that.
- See, there you go sounding like a doggone trainer.
- Well, my current trainer, be tripping.
- Right?
Well, have you talked to your old trainer?
- Old trainer?
Tuga?
You know, I haven't.
- Why not?
- You know why?
It's too much baggage
between him, his cousin, my grandfather.
It's too much.
- Yeah, it's all so hard to believe.
Do you know when his cousin goes on trial?
- It's been almost three years and still nothing.
- [Mimi] Still blame him?
- For what Von did?
No.
I used to, but not anymore.
I mean, his biggest mistake was believing a lie.
- Yeah.
Well if you ever wanna catch up with him,
you know where to find him.
I heard his mechanic shop was doing really well.
- Oh yeah.
- [Mimi] Maybe you can go there
to get a lube job or something.
- [Ria] I just got my car serviced probably like last
week,
I'm good.
- Ria, I'm not talking about your car.
- Mimi, that's nasty.
Oh my gosh, that is nasty.
- Hey, a tuneup something, girl.
- No, I would never.
- [Mimi] Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, he, he moved away about a year ago.
- [Ria] Moved away?
- Yeah, to Dallas.
Wanted to be close to his daughter.
- Mia. - Yeah.
- Wow.
Okay.
- Um, I can take your name down.
Um, give him a call, let know you stop by.
- My name is Ria, but no need to do that.
- [El] You sure?
- Positive.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm, I'm El by the way.
- Oh.
- [El] Sorry.
(El grunts)
- That's better.
Nice to meet you.
Take care.
- Nice to meet you.
(gentle upbeat music)
(group chattering)
- Hey, Mom.
That's Ria the boxer.
- Oh, damn, what's up?
- Whoa, what are the odds?
You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say-
- But you do.
You do or at least you should.
This is a super small town, so-
- Right.
- Not too many places you can get a good meal.
So about those odds, they're pretty high.
Did you order anything yet?
- Not yet.
The service here is a little slow.
- So that means I can join you.
It'll be my treat.
- Nah, I think I'm good as is.
- Ah, come on, how can I stalk you
if I can't buy you at least one meal?
- I'm okay.
Well damn.
- So you really can't go wrong.
Everything's pretty much good.
- We shall see.
Shall we?
- [El] Take time.
- Let's see.
Hold on now, this place is like the Walmart restaurant.
They sell everything here.
- [El] We are good here.
- [Ria] So you said your name was.
- You forgot it that fast.
That's crazy.
It El.
- Right, right, El.
And what is that short for?
- What you mean?
- Like what is your full name?
- That's it.
Just El.
- Stop lying.
- Why gotta be lying?
- Because you know El is usually short for like Elmo.
Come here, let me see if you ticklish.
- Ticklish?
- [Ria] You get it?
Tickle Me Elmo.
Boy, nevermind, it is okay.
- No, it's, it's just El.
Why the hell you trying to play me right now?
- That was corny. - Yeah.
- Hey, guys.
My name is Terry, I'll be your server tonight.
Can I get y'all something to drink?
- I'll take a water with lemon.
- I will have a sweet tea please.
- [Terry] All right.
Do you already know what you wanna eat?
- I think so.
Ladies first.
- Oh, okay.
All right.
- [El] I'm sorry, you not ready?
- No, I am.
You said you're treating right?
- I did.
- Perfect, you got your notepad, your pen.
Lets go.
Can I get your crab leg shrimp and chicken combo
with mashed potatoes?
Ooh, your, they got lobster tail.
Let me get that too.
I mean, you can't have the crab legs, the shrimp,
the chicken combo without the lobster tail, right?
Come on. - Right.
- Mash in there.
Ooh. - Right, right.
What's a meal without having every single sea creature
know to man.
Right?
Yeah, we might as well throw Ariel's ass on there.
You kind of look like her.
- (laughs) You playing.
- You, you do know this is not a buffet, right?
Don't, don't even worry about it.
I'm just gonna eat off her plate
'cause she's clearly ordered enough for the both of us.
- Well, I'm just playing.
I'll just have a chicken penne pasta.
- Okay.
And I'm gonna have these spicy teriyaki T-bone please.
Medium-well.
Thank you.
- So how do you know Tuga?
- Oh, we go way back.
Yeah, when he decided to move, he sold the shop to me.
- Wow.
That's quite the come up.
- It was definitely a blessing.
I think I was in the right place right time, you know?
- I still can't believe he sold the shop.
Like that place meant everything to him.
- I said the same thing.
I even asked him, I was like, you sure?
He was like, yeah.
Something about starting fresh, leaving the past behind him.
I mean, I get it.
Gotta start over, but a whole shop.
Cool.
- Did you two talk often?
- Mm, not really.
I mean, once the deal was final,
he moved and I ain't seen him since.
- Mm-hmm.
So you two weren't close?
Like, you know, like homies?
(El chuckles)
- Nah, we weren't homies.
Nothing like that.
Was kind of knew of him and vice versa, you know?
But to directly answer your question,
the bro code does not apply here.
We were never that close.
- Bro code?
Oh, you thought that because I said,
no, boy, it was not like that.
Uh-uh. - Mm-hmm.
Okay.
- You cocky.
(Ria laughs)
- So you got family that live around here?
- All right, your food's being fired up as we speak.
Appreciate y'all for coming.
Is this your first time here?
- It's mine.
- But it won't be the last.
Date number two on the way.
- You treating too?
- [El] Let me think about it.

(gentle brooding music)
(brooding music)
(El panting)
(El exhaling)
El, I didn't mean to scare you.
- I'm sorry I didn't, I get a little jumpy sometimes.
Sorry.
- You must've been in real deep thought.
Did you forget I was here?
- No, no, I just, just get a little distracted sometimes,
that's all.
- [Ria] So you wanna talk about it?
- Talk about?
- What got you so far gone.
- Oh, no, no.
I'm, I'm good.
Yeah, it is nothing you need to be concerned with.
- I don't wanna have to wake up
and you on top of me reciting Bible verses
backwards and stuff.
(El chuckles)
- The Bible verses backwards.
No, you ain't gotta worry about that. (chuckles)
No, I'm good, okay?
I promise.
All right, let's just go back to sleep.
- Okay.
(lips smack)
(phone vibrating)
(El sighs)
- Oh, shoot.
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
- Hey, hey, what, what you doing?
- I'm late.
- For?
- I gotta get a session in.
Big match in a couple of days.
- A match?
- Yeah, like a boxing match.
Oh my God.
- I didn't know you was a boxer fan.
Who's fighting?
- Me.
- Sorry, what?
- Oh yeah, I should have told you by now, huh?
- Ain't no way you a boxer.
- Seeing is believing.
Come to the Blackout Gym at like 11:00 PM you'll see.
- She lying.
(upbeat music)
(group chattering)
- Keep your guard up and stay outside.
(group cheering)
(bell rings)
(Ria grunts)
(Ria grunting) (glove thudding)
- Come on, come on.
(glove thuds)
- One, to your corner.
Two, three, four,
five, six,
seven, 10.
She's done, she's out.
She's out.
Winner two.
(bell dings)
(gloves thudding)
- Yo, she really about to do this?
- Hell yeah.
(bell dings)
(gloves thudding)
(Ria grunts) (glove whooshes)
Keep your guard up, girl.
(gloves thudding)
- One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10.
It's over, it's over.
(phone chimes)
(phone whooshes)
(phone ringing)
- Hey, I haven't heard from you all day.
What's that about?
- [El] You'll see.
I'm about to text you an address, head there now.
- But I'm just leaving the gym.
What's going on?
- [El] Stop, stop, you're gonna ruin the surprise.
Just, just meet me.
- But I have to go to the-
- [El] Just meet me.
- Okay, okay, just text me the address.
- [El] All right.
Hey.
- What's going on?
What is this?
- [El] I rented it out for the weekend.
- Yeah. - I know our schedules
wouldn't allow us for our first romantic getaway,
so I figured this would be the next best thing.
- I look a mess.
- First of all, you look beautiful.
But no worries, I got you a brand new dress,
jewelry, handbag, and some shoes all in the master closet.
- Is it a walk-in?
- You know it.
- Okay, I'm gonna go get my stuff.
- All right, oh, one second, one second.
(gentle romantic music)
- Oh my gosh.
- I want you to wear this forever.
Always remember my heart is close to yours.
I think I'm really falling for you, Ria.
(birds chirping)
All right, movie night, right?
- Yep, sounds good.
- Hell yeah, all right.
- See.
Ooh, I like that movie.
- Oh, ooh, "50/50" on, you down?
- Is that a sports movie?
Because you know good and well-
- I don't know nothing.
All right, this coming from a girl
who literally plays the sport for a living.
- It's not the same.
- It is.
Okay, it's just about a dude who's diagnosed with cancer
and he is got a 50/50 chance of living.
I mean, I heard it's funny, once you get past the,
you know, the cancer stuff, but it's gonna be good.
- Nah, I'd rather not.
- It'll be good, I promise.
- No.
Just, babe, just give it a chance.
It'll be good.
- I said no, El, damn.
- All right.
Damn, what's gotten into you?
- Nothing.
I'd just rather not watch that movie.
- Must really hate Seth Rogan.
- Who?
- Don't even worry about it, here, take it.
It ain't worth the fight.
- Oh, damn, some subjects that come up
may blur and unfocus me
and I'm gonna need you to know that.
- Forgive me for not being a mind reader.
- And what's that supposed to mean?
- It means the only way I can get to know who you are, Ria,
is if I was a mind reader, which I'm not.
It's been months and I'm still scratching and clawing
trying to figure out who the hell you are.
I don't know nothing about you,
friends, family, parents, nothing.
Hello.
Exactly, dead ass silence.
I mean, what else am I supposed to expect?
(sighs) Exactly.
- The very reason why you're complaining
is one of the main reasons why we get along so good.
- Makes no sense.
- Okay.
All right.
El, neither one of us talk about our past.
You don't think that I noticed that?
You don't think I noticed
that you never talk about your childhood
or shoot your family,
or hell, how you could barely sleep at night.
How are we so different?
All I'm saying is I pretty much figured out
there's a reason why you don't talk about your past.
And I'm cool with that.
You need to get like me and embrace it.
- So what I'm saying makes no sense.
- No.
What makes sense is when you start
digging all into people past, you get your hands dirty.
- And at some point, Ria, we have to get our hands dirty.
- Well, it won't be today.
You could have your Oprah moment today,
but it don't mean that it has to be mine.
- Oprah moment.
Really?
- Yeah, really.
- Ria, all I'm asking is for you to open up.
I'm just trying- - It doesn't matter.
Just let it go. - I can't.
How am I supposed to get to know my girl when she won't-
- Let it go, El.
- I'm not.
We supposed to build.
- Just let it go.
(brooding music)
Damn.
- All right.
All right, listen, your life your business.
- Mm-hmm.
It's about time that shit registered.
I was waiting for it.
- So I guess there's really nothing I can do for you, right?
Right, ain't nothing I can do?
- Wait, hold on.
Weren't you leaving?
Why are you still talking to me?
I don't need a life lesson from you.
- And see, that's where you wrong.
Somebody need to teach you something.
It should have been your parents,
but I guess they dropped the ball on that one.
(book thuds)
- You don't know our story.
Don't you dare stand there and act like you know us
when you don't know a damn thing about us.
- And where'd you just go?
- It's my life.
It's, it's my pain.
It's, it's not his.
It's my life.
It's my pain.
- Hey.
Is that your?
- My grandfather Pa.
- Ria, can you just open up to me?
That's all I'm asking.
- Do you really wanna know about Pa?
- Yes.
- He's from your town.
He lived on that huge farm on Route 3.
- Okay.
- He had terminal cancer.
- That movie, see, I didn't know.
- But before the cancer ended it all,
he was killed by a total stranger
for what they thought he had.
It's been over two years since I lost him.
Actually, it'll be three years next Tuesday.
- Well, I know where I'll be Tuesday.
So did they find out whoever did it?
- Yeah.
He's still in jail waiting on trial.
- Two years and still no trial.
- Every month that goes by, I lose more and more hope.
Hey, I, I'm sorry I didn't,
I should have eased you into this.
- No, no.
You, you good.
I just, I just wanted to make sure you okay?
- I'm okay.
Promise.
Oh, it's 2:00 AM, don't you gotta go to work in the morning?
- Yeah, yeah, I guess I should.
- Do, do you wanna spend a night here?
You know, I don't have nothing going on.
- I wish I could, but I mean,
I don't even have anything to wear
and trying to go to work from here around that time,
I, I don't even want think of it.
- Well, you better get going.
At least you can have a little sleep then.
- Yeah.
You sure?
- Yeah.
I'm fine.
- I just don't want you to feel like you're alone.
If you're not okay, I'm not okay.
I need you to know that, okay?
- Okay.
I'll call you first thing on my lunch, okay?
All right.
(slow tempo brooding music)
(car door clicks)
(car door bangs)
(El panting) (dog barking)
(El exhales)
(El inhales)
(El exhales)
- Ria, Ria, is that you?
- [El] Huh?
Wait, you're not supposed to be here.
- Listen, just take whatever you want and just leave.
(gun clicks)
(gun bangs)
(El panting)
- [Von] You saw what I did, huh?
Didn't you?
So tell me what happened.
I shot him because you didn't do your job.
All you have to do is tell me that you saw him coming.
Did you, did you, did you?
- No. - Right.
So this is now at your feet not mine.
Let me see your face.
Let, let see your face.
Look me in my eyes and tell me we good.
Tell me.
- Good, man.
- [Von] Day one, right?
- Day one. - Right.
Then fucking act like it.
(El panting)
(ominous music)
(heart pounding)
(birds chirping)
(knuckles tapping)
(door clicks)
- [Lisa] Hi, can I help you?
- (clears throat) Lisa?
Right?
- El, oh my god.
El, come please.
Oh, good to see you.
(door creaking)
- [El] So how you been?
- I'm good.
We're good.
It's been so long since I've seen you.
I hardly even recognize you.
So are you hungry or thirsty?
Do you want anything to eat?
- Uh. - Look at me acting
like you're 15.
Oh my gosh.
I'm so sorry.
- Uh, no.
So, I mean, I actually wanted,
actually don't know what I wanted. (laughs)
But I'm here so.
- Well, I'll leave you two to talk.
So good to see you.
- [El] Likewise.
- I'm just so glad he's home.
God truly does answer prayers.
- Good to see you, Lisa.
How the hell are you out?
- Man, if I told you you wouldn't even believe it.
- Try me.
- Okay.
Well it's this thing called prosecutorial misconduct.
Hell, I can't even pronounce it,
let alone know what it means.
Well, it turns out that the prosecutor
didn't give my lawyer some evidence that he was supposed
to.
He just held on to it, hid it away.
So when it all came out,
they had no choice but to let me go.
- That's a cool story, bro.
- Really?
You gonna gimme sarcasm after everything I did for you?
- I'm sorry after you what?
- Nigga, you heard me?
I could've easily told him that I wasn't alone.
Anything for a lighter sentence, but I kept the code.
I went inside so that you could live, bro.
- There's no way you standing in my face right now
talking about some freedom.
And after that night, you and I both know
ain't no way you was going to ever let me be free,
even from behind a jail cell.
- And yet here we are, man,
both standing above ground and outside of jail.
And I ain't asking for nothing in return.
- Okay, so what you want?
Matter of fact, I know you how much you want?
- Are you kidding me?
You really think I'm gonna squeeze you for some money?
It ain't about that.
- [El] What is it about, Von?
- It's about us being brothers.
Just like it was with Tuga.
Same love, same loyalty, same honesty.
- Honesty?
Is that the same honesty you used with Tuga?
When you told him we weren't gonna hit Mr. Witt?
Yeah.
So you lied then and you fucking lying now.
- You know I could have broke you in half
when you lost your shit at that old man's house.
You still here because I let you be here.
I make the choices, not you.
- You still that same dude, man.
I see it.
- Nah.
Not at all.
You see, I've been given a second chance.
I've changed.
- You didn't have to do what you did.
- That's in a past, El.
Come on now, leave it there.
- Nigga, I can't!
Don't you think I tried?
Look, you don't understand.
I need you to make this right.
- How do I do that, huh?
Tell me, El.
How you want me to do that, huh?
That old man is gone.
He ain't coming back.
No matter how much we regret what we did.
- Don't you fucking say we.
- That wasn't teamwork?
- We did not shoot him.
- Don't fucking test me.
- You're not the only one that's changed, Von.
- You're right.
You're right.
Remember what I said, El.
You dictate how this plays out.
(door bangs)
(knuckles tapping)
(door clicks) (birds chirping)
- Oh, wow.
Um, I'm sorry and I'm later than I expected.
I got food.
- I was starting to think you wasn't gonna show.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
How you feeling?
- I'm better now that you're here.
(sighs) It's like every year on this day,
I feel like the walls are closing in.
- Well, it's a good thing I'm here.
I know you miss him, Ria, but,
but everything you've told me about him,
I'm sure he was an amazing man.
- Yes, he was.
It's just so unfortunate.
His life, his life was so priceless.
Nothing they took from that house was worth it.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
And over an empty safe at that.
Like, but he's in a better place.
Got yourself a guardian angel
to protect you all them jabs and them uppercuts.
It's gonna be all right.
Let's dig in, come on.
What's wrong?
Don't tell me they got your food wrong again.
I done told them.
- I never, I never told you a safe was stolen
from my grandfather's house.
- Yes you did.
- No, I didn't.
I know what I told you and I, I didn't tell you that.
- Ria, yes you did.
How else would I know that?
- How do you know about the safe, El?
- [El] I just told you, you told me.
- [Ria] How do you know about the fucking safe?
- Ria, I just told you, you told me like a week ago.
- No, I, I know what I told you.
I, I told you I had a fight that night.
I told you I walked in and I saw him lying on the floor.
But a safe, I, I never told you about a safe.
- Ria, listen, I, okay, I understand
this is a rough day for you.
- No, you're lying.
- Okay, clearly I can't even reason with you right now
because you're just spinning outta control.
It's just like last time and every time,
I came to be here for you, comfort you in your time of
need.
Is this how you gonna act?
- Really?
- Yes really.
Enjoy the food.
- El.
(brooding music)
(door clicks)
(woman vocalizing)
(birds chirping)
(gear clicking)
(screen beeps)
- You know a woman as beautiful as you
shouldn't have to pump her own gas.
Oh, did I scare you?
I'm sorry.
It's a bit awkward, huh?
Look, I know we got our differences,
but let me at least extend an olive branch.
Let take care of your gas for you.
It's the least that I can do.
We got a lot of water on our bridge.
It's a shame really, you, Tuga, Mr.
Witt.
Oops.
I should go, huh?
Look like I might've said the wrong thing.
I don't wanna overstay my welcome.
I will let you finish up here.
Oh, tell your boy El to remember what I said.
He dictates how this shit plays out.
(car door bangs)
(Ria panting)
(ominous music)
- Hey.
Okay.
Yeah, I know who Von Roland is.
He's the guy we arrested for killing that old man.
Wait, hold on.
What?
Prosecutorial misconduct.
Just like that.
(scoffs) You've gotta be shitting me.
Yeah, and why am I just now hearing about this?
Yeah, well, I thought I had a half a day,
but now I gotta go to the DA's office.
Yeah.
Yeah, let me call you back.
Yeah.
(key clicking)
(brooding music)
- El.
- Hey, Ria, what?
Did you do this?
Ria, did you do this?
I'm talking to you.
Answer me.
Look I can explain this.
- Just shut up.
Did you know who I was this whole time?
El, I'm talking about like two years,
did you know this whole time?
- This is not what it seems like, Ria.
- That's the best you can say.
It's not what it seems like.
It sure seems you knew everything about my grandfather.
You never put two and two together?
At my dad and my grandfather's grave site.
El, be for real, you visited their grave site.
- [El] Ria, please, listen.
- Don't fucking touch me!
Don't touch me.
- [El] I need you to listen to me please.
Let me explain.
- Were you there?
El, were you there?
Tell me.
- Weren't you the one who told me
not to go digging up in the past?
- El, tell me now or I'll leave here
and I promise you the next time you see me
will be on a witness stand.
- You would do that to me?
Okay, look, we, we were there to rob him and that's it.
That's, that's it.
Okay, I was supposed to be the lookout
just in case we saw him coming,
we could get away if he got too close.
We dropped something and he woke up.
And I froze.
I froze, Ria.
I let him get too close.
Then it happened.
Von said he had to do it, but he didn't.
He didn't.
And look, I'm a good person.
Ria, please listen to me.
- Don't. - Ria, please,
you have to believe me.
- Did you know he was out?
- Yes.
I didn't know how to tell you.
- You'll have chains on the next time I see you.
- Ria.
(slow temp R&B music) (group chattering)
(Velcro scratching)
(group chattering)
(bell rings)
- Oh, Ria, what are you doing?
- I want you.
- This is my fight.
You can't just come in here- - Listen,
I said what I said.
Win or lose, you can keep the money.
(group cheering)
(gloves thud) (bell rings)
(gloves whooshing) (gloves thud)
- One. - On the ground-
- Two. - Where you belong.
- Three.
(gloves whooshing)
- Ha.
(gloves thudding)
- Oh.
Hey, hey, came to the red.
I got no stake.
(gloves whooshing) (gloves thud)
(gloves whooshing)
(gloves thud)
One, two, three, four,
six, seven, eight.
- Come on! - Nine.
(group booing)
(door bangs) (group chattering)
- [Ria] Hi, I'm here to see Detective James.
- Okay, I can get her for you.
Just wanna sign in for me real quick?
- Detective Reid.
Excuse me, who'd you say?
Oh, oh, no, no, no.
No, that's not a problem.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll, I'll be right out.
(group chattering)
Ms. Scandrick, hi.
- Hi.
- [Reid] What a pleasant surprise.
How can I help you?
- I need to speak to you about a murder.
- A murder?
Would you like to step into my office?
- Yes, that's fine.
- Please have a seat.
Can I get you something, something to drink?
Water?
- You don't have tequila, do you?
- Unfortunately not, but we have some pretty strong coffee.
- No, I'm okay.
- [Reid] So what's up?
You've got information on a murder.
- You would do that to me?
- Remember you came to see me.
Now I'm here to help, but only if you allow me to.
- About three years ago, my grandfather was killed.
Witt Scandrick, you can look him up.
His killer was just released on some bullshit technicality.
- Excuse me for a second.
I need to go to the file room and pull this file.
This is still an open case.
- [Ria] Right.
- And you have information.
- What kind of proof do you need?
- [Reid] Physical evidence, a confession, witness.
Do you have any of that?
- A witness.
- You have a witness that places Mr. Roland at the scene?
- Yes, somebody told me that they witnessed the robbery.
- Who is he or she?
If you have a witness, I need a name.
- Look, can't you just like question Von
and tell him you have a witness?
Maybe he'll confess.
- If you know anything about Von Roland,
he does not go down that easy.
Now I'll need to speak to the witness first
to gather background and color.
- Otherwise what?
You can't do anything or you won't do anything?
- [Reid] Both actually.
- Are you serious?
You're kidding me, right?
- Ria, you need to calm down
and you need to understand the DA
has taken a really messy hit.
They have failed royally.
And they will not touch this case again
if they are not a hundred percent sure
that they have an airtight case.
So I need something tangible, a name,
and we can do the rest.
- I can't give you that right now.
- [Reid] Who are you protecting?
- So you won't question him.
Von.
- I'm sorry.
Okay, but if you want me to do something,
I'm gonna at least need to speak with your witness first.
And if not, then how are you helping things
helping your grandfather?
- [Ria] Don't.
- If you're not a part of the solution,
then you're part of the problem.
And I can't help you solve a problem,
I don't have the solution to.
- But I can.
- What do you mean by that?
- Exactly what I said.
- [Reid] Ria, don't do anything stupid.
- I already did that by stepping foot in your office.
(Reid sighs)
El Carter.
He was the witness.
He witnessed the robbery.
- [Reid] Who pulled the trigger?
- Von.
- [Reid] Is there anything else you can tell me?
- There will be.
(car beeping)
(car door bangs)
(gun clicks)
(ominous music)
- El, is that you?
- I wanna know why.
- Ria.
Look, if this is about the gas station, I-
- [Ria] Why'd you kill my grandfather?
- Let me explain.
Never ever pull out a gun just for show.
You pull it out, you better make sure you empty it out.
Move, move.
Yeah, that's right.
Get on the ground.
Get on the ground!
- [Ria] Please.
Please stop.
- Shut up.
Now you want to act like a victim.
A few seconds ago you was acting like a fucking executioner.
What happened, huh?
That's right, I happened.
Now what's next?
Huh?
We both in something deep now.
What's next, huh?
- Von, let her go.
- Dammit, El, fall back.
You have no idea what's going on.
- Von, let her go.
Please.
- El.
- I got you, I got you.
Von, take the gun from her fucking head!
Can't you see she's terrified?
(suspenseful music)
- Damn, dude, I've been wondering,
Tuga know you're trying to save his girl?
- It ain't gotta go like this, Von.
- Put the gun down
or I swear I'll put a bullet in her.
Do it.
- We've hurt her enough.
This ain't the way.
This ain't no negotiation, El.
You do what I say not the other way around.
Just like it has been since day one.
Kick the gun over here.
- No.
- [Von] Do it!
- Okay.
Okay.
(gun sliding)
Look, Von, we can't fix what we did to her grandfather.
We got a chance to make the right move here, man.
- No way.
You told her that you were there.
You told her that I was there.
You and Tuga, man.
You just couldn't leave well enough alone, huh?
You just couldn't leave those bones buried.
- I know, I know.
I shouldn't have said anything, okay,
about me, about you.
But that's what it's about, man.
It's about me and you.
Just let her go.
Please.
(Von grunts)
We gonna walk out the front door, okay?
We leaving.
We're leaving, it's over.
All right.
- I'm sorry man.
I can't let you do that.
- Please, Von.
- No. - I can't.
- No!
- Police, drop the gun!
(guns banging)
(Reid grunts)
(Reid panting)
(Ria crying)
Yeah, I need an ambulance at 2411 Willow Street.
The suspect is leaving.
He's in a gray Infinity SUV.
I'm in pursuit.
(car door clicks)
(car door bangs)
(car engine roaring)
- El, please.
Please.
(car engine roaring)
- Come on move.
- Please, please.
Please.
(birds chirping)
(car door clicks) (Reid panting)
(gun banging)
(ominous music)
(Von panting)
(Von groaning)
(gun thuds)
- El and I actually used to go to this school years ago.
- And then you shot him.
- I did.
You know I only got outta prison a week ago.
- We need to get you to a hospital.
- You want to save my life?
That's funny.
(Von groans)
(traffic humming) (air blowing)
(siren wailing)
- Ria, what are you doing here?
We, we already got your statement
and you could have left hours ago, babe.
Why are you still here?
- I'm not alone here.
- [Reid] Well, there's nothing left to do here.
You should go home.
- What happens with the case?
My grandfather's case.
- It's over now.
We searched El Carter's apartment and we found a box.
And in that box we found news clippings, pictures,
notes of and about you.
- I know.
- You knew that already?
- [Ria] I found it just before he died.
- Well, the evidence in El's box led us
to a safe in Von's basement.
And in that safe, we found a 9mm pistol.
The bullet that killed your grandfather
was a match for that gun.
Honestly case closed.
And the sooner the DA
can wrap this case up the better.
So you take care of yourself, okay?
- You saved my life.
I don't know how to repay you or, or thank you.
- There's something else I want you to know.
When your father died,
I was the first officer on that scene 20 years ago.
And it really impacted my life
and showed me how quickly you can lose something in a blink.
And I always wondered what happened
to that beautiful baby in the backseat
and now I know.
And both your grandfather and your father
would be so proud of the woman you've become.
And just know that they both impacted so many lives
and even in their death, they impacted mine.
And I'm probably gonna lose my job for this,
but what the hell?
Before he died, EL recorded this video for you
and I wanna honor his wishes.
Now, I can't give it to you because it states evidence,
but I'll let you see it if you want.
- Yeah.
(brooding music)
(key clicks)
- Okay.
(clears throat) Um, Ria, I don't,
I don't have a lot of time.
If you're watching this,
it means I finally showed you
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.
I want you to know that no matter what happens,
I'm going to always be a part of you.
I don't care what anybody says.
Don't ever doubt how much I loved you,
how much I'm still in love with you.
Death or prison won't change that.
I'm sorry for everything I've done
and everything that's happened.
I just wanted to be the one thing right in your life
instead of a constant reminder of what's wrong.
Ria, I lived for you.
If I risk life or prison for you, that's okay.
That's okay.
Someone once said that, as you go through life,
you may find two kinds of people,
someone you're willing to live for,
someone you're willing to die for,
if you find both in the same person
it's a blessing from God.
Those are the people that give your life
both a purpose and a design.
They're the reason why you run your race
and they're the reason why winning is the only option.
You've been both to me and I wouldn't have it any other way.
One more thing I want you to take with you
throughout the rest of your life, Ria,
whether in person or in spirit,
I too will be your guardian angel
and I'm going to relentlessly love you always.
Bye.
