00:00:18,285 --> 00:00:25,090
(chorus music)

3
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:51,250
- [VOICEOVER] Around the world LA
is viewed as the land of dreams.

Surf, sun,

00:01:11,605 --> 00:01:13,338
beautiful women.

8
00:01:16,077 --> 00:01:19,411
Hollywood, Rodeo Drive.

9
00:01:20,448 --> 00:01:24,616
Fame, glamour, and movie stars.

00:01:24,618 --> 00:01:31,757
(hip hop music)

11
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:35,360
I call LA the Big Facelift.

12
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:42,267
Before all the homes with
their fine trimmed lawns

13
00:01:42,269 --> 00:01:44,503
and their golf courses,

14
00:01:44,505 --> 00:01:46,638
and their high rises...

15
00:01:48,843 --> 00:01:50,742
this place was a desert.

16
00:01:53,147 --> 00:01:58,650
(hip hop music)
(waves crashing)

17
00:01:58,652 --> 00:02:00,786
What you see isn't all there is.

18
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:05,657
In LA, you don't
have to be cool.

19
00:02:05,659 --> 00:02:08,393
You just have to
act like you are.

20
00:02:09,363 --> 00:02:11,830
Don't take anything
at face value.

21
00:02:11,832 --> 00:02:14,900
Here, image is king.

22
00:02:14,902 --> 00:02:17,369
(hip hop music)

23
00:02:26,914 --> 00:02:29,214
The people who run the show,

24
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:31,884
that make the rules,

25
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:35,554
that have the education,

26
00:02:36,891 --> 00:02:38,857
are no more moral

27
00:02:38,859 --> 00:02:40,939
than the guy rummaging
through your trash

28
00:02:41,562 --> 00:02:43,795
looking for cans and bottles.

29
00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:49,735
(hip hop music)

30
00:02:49,737 --> 00:02:52,938
They just have a way of
making it sound like they are,

31
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:55,707
and then they end up
buying their own bullshit

32
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:59,645
and con themselves into
believing they are.

33
00:02:59,647 --> 00:03:02,948
The packaging is more
important than the product.

34
00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:05,350

(panting)

38
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:39,985
Consider the state's
three strike law.

39
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:45,424
One the outside it sounds
pretty fair, like baseball.

40
00:03:45,426 --> 00:03:47,659
Three chances and you're out.

41
00:03:48,329 --> 00:03:51,530
Of course, that
depends on what side

42
00:03:51,532 --> 00:03:53,398
of the street you were born.

00:04:23,631 --> 00:04:25,464
- Juanito?

46
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,466
- Juan?

47
00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:30,535

48
00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:32,804

49
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:39,778

50

51
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:43,615
- Juan!

52
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:45,317
What happened, Juanito?

53
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:46,685
Talk to me, Juan.

54
00:04:46,687 --> 00:04:47,819
(whimpering)

55
00:04:47,821 --> 00:04:49,521
Juan?

56
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:52,491
(screams)

57
00:04:52,493 --> 00:04:53,959
- Hands, hands!

58
00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:55,627
(dramatic music)
- What's going on?

59
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:58,463
- Talk to me Juan!
- [Officer] Hey, back away.

60
00:04:58,465 --> 00:05:00,599
Back away from the door!
Back away!

61
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:04,336
- [Angie] What's going on?

62
00:05:04,338 --> 00:05:05,504
- [Officer] Stay calm, stay calm.
- [Angie] He's my brother.

63
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:07,306
Juan?
Juanito?

64
00:05:07,308 --> 00:05:08,340
(dramatic music)

65
00:05:08,342 --> 00:05:11,043

66
00:05:30,964 --> 00:05:32,531
(police siren wails)

67
00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:36,601
- [Juan] It's the truth,
that's what happened.

68
00:05:36,603 --> 00:05:40,072
(sobbing)

69
00:05:55,823 --> 00:05:57,589
- Come on, bro, tell me,
tell me what happened.

70
00:05:57,591 --> 00:06:00,959
- It's the truth
that's what happened.

71
00:06:00,961 --> 00:06:03,362
- You put yourself on
my side of the table,

72
00:06:03,364 --> 00:06:06,732
and you listen,
listen to your story,

73
00:06:06,734 --> 00:06:08,633
and then you take into
consideration that the bank

74
00:06:08,635 --> 00:06:12,371
payroll and the second
suspect are still at large.

75
00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:13,739
- But you know me.

76
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:18,577
- I thought I knew
your uncle Manny, too.

77
00:06:18,579 --> 00:06:20,679
That was a long time ago.

78
00:06:20,681 --> 00:06:23,982
- Please, Jimmy,
I don't want to lie to you.

79
00:06:32,659 --> 00:06:33,892
- Well it wouldn't
be the first time

80
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:36,728
I was wrong about
somebody either.

81
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:40,665
- I'm sorry, but what can I say?

82
00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:43,101
It's the truth.
I swear to you.

83
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:51,042
- I understand...

84
00:06:52,613 --> 00:06:56,114
but I don't know
if anybody else will.

85
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:58,884
(speaking Spanish)

86
00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:01,119
(sobbing)

87
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:30,182
- Pop the trunk.

88
00:07:36,156 --> 00:07:38,123
Come on out.

89
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,701
Here, you hold this letter.

90
00:07:49,703 --> 00:07:51,236
- That's a pretty nice jacket.
- Shut up.

91
00:07:51,238 --> 00:07:53,705
Mail this letter over there.

92
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,788

93
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:11,490

94
00:08:11,492 --> 00:08:12,757

I'm a ghost.

- Shh.

111
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:37,909
I don't have time for that.

we're still a family.

- What does Diana think?

115
00:09:47,854 --> 00:09:49,354
- She misses you.

116
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:52,724
She's curious.

117
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:54,125
I'm just trying
to find an opportunity

118
00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:56,895
to tell her in the best way.

119
00:09:56,897 --> 00:09:58,897
Let's talk about you.

120
00:09:58,899 --> 00:10:01,600
- Fucking public lawyer said they
can blame me for Manny's death.

121
00:10:01,602 --> 00:10:02,867
- And?

122
00:10:02,869 --> 00:10:06,071
- They say I can
get a better deal.

123
00:10:06,073 --> 00:10:08,006
If I rat myself out.

124
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:11,910
- We need to find
someone who cares.

125
00:10:11,912 --> 00:10:14,646
- Why don't you get one of those
lawyers that work with you?

126
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:16,348
- They're contract lawyers.

127
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:17,315
It's complicated.

128
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:20,919
(buzzer buzzing)

129
00:10:20,921 --> 00:10:22,887
Look I don't have
time to explain.

130
00:10:22,889 --> 00:10:27,926
Did Manny ever mention a
lawyer named... Alan Hartford?

131
00:10:27,928 --> 00:10:29,928
- No I don't think so.

132
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:31,262
- I found his card
in Manny's wallet.

133
00:10:31,264 --> 00:10:33,281
You sure you don't know him.

134
00:10:33,282 --> 00:10:35,299
- I only know two things,
Manny's wallet and the lawyer.

135
00:10:35,302 --> 00:10:38,136
And you need to
get him for me now.

136
00:10:40,374 --> 00:10:43,274
(dramatic music)

137
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:44,843
- [Manny] You can't
understand what you fear

138
00:10:44,845 --> 00:10:49,114
by labeling it and
putting it in a box.

139
00:10:50,317 --> 00:10:52,851
Any fool who's been to the zoo,

140
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:54,319
can see an animal in the cage

141
00:10:54,321 --> 00:10:56,888
is less than half of what it is.

142
00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:59,724
(dramatic music)

143
00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:04,863
You'll never know a man's heart,

144
00:11:04,865 --> 00:11:07,432
when you first rob
him of his youth.

145
00:11:08,802 --> 00:11:11,236
- [Man] Otherwise driving
the get away car.

146
00:11:11,238 --> 00:11:14,305
He's related
to the registered owner,

147
00:11:14,307 --> 00:11:17,142
deceased Manny Garcia,

148
00:11:17,144 --> 00:11:21,179
so a car jack defense
is implausible.

149
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:23,682
Had some priors as well,

150
00:11:23,684 --> 00:11:25,817
mostly minors, but...

151
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:28,319
enough to destroy wrong time,
wrong place defense.

152
00:11:28,321 --> 00:11:30,855
- You have to understand,
he's just a kid.

153
00:11:30,857 --> 00:11:33,091
- The law regards
him as an adult.

154
00:11:33,093 --> 00:11:37,395
The county has a 78%
conviction rate for jury trials

155
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:40,265
plus 93% when you
factor in plea bargains.

156
00:11:40,267 --> 00:11:42,300
- Sounds like you
don't want the case.

157
00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:45,770
- This deck is stacked.
If you expected to win.

158
00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:47,906
No lawyer in their right
mind would want the case.

159
00:11:47,908 --> 00:11:49,808
- [Angie] How much do I
owe you for your time.

160
00:11:49,810 --> 00:11:51,309
- Angie, please sit down.

161
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:52,977
- Really, Mr. Hartford.

162
00:11:52,979 --> 00:11:54,412
- Please call me Alan.

163
00:11:54,413 --> 00:11:55,846
- Look, Alan, I don't
want to waste your time.

164
00:11:55,849 --> 00:11:59,184
- Angie, I'm just
trying to be honest.

165
00:11:59,186 --> 00:12:01,386
Ms. Garcia,

166
00:12:01,388 --> 00:12:07,392
could you please just
sit down for a moment.

167
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:09,294
Please.

168
00:12:10,297 --> 00:12:12,330
- Angie.

169
00:12:22,042 --> 00:12:24,375
- As I told you, your uncle
was a client of mine

170
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:26,444
and though I never
knew him a a friend,

171
00:12:26,446 --> 00:12:28,980
I did find him to be
a man of his word.

172
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:30,982
Frankly, the news
of his involvement

173
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:32,917
in this bank robbery shocks me.

174
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:35,220
- It's a simple case of relapse.

175
00:12:35,222 --> 00:12:37,088
- I don't think
it's that simple.

176
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:39,257
- Once a criminal
always a criminal.

177
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:43,495
You'd understand that if you
lived where I lived, Alan.

178
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:47,298
- Tell me you understand this.

179
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:53,505
It's a $10,000 retainer
from your Uncle Manny.

180
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:59,410
Postmarked on
the day of the robbery.

181
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:07,218
I believe your brother's story.

182
00:13:11,057 --> 00:13:13,391
- But I thought you said
no one in their right mind

183
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:15,093
would want this case.

184
00:13:15,095 --> 00:13:17,428
- When I went to bat
for your Uncle Manny,

185
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:20,965
he was facing his third strike,
a life behind bars.

186
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,501
Manny walked out of state
in less than 11 months.

187
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:26,337
(dramatic music)

188
00:14:21,628 --> 00:14:23,494
- Hi Juan.

189
00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:25,330
I'm Alan Hartford,

190
00:14:25,332 --> 00:14:27,999
your sister Angie has
retained me to represent you.

191
00:14:28,001 --> 00:14:29,234
- Yeah I know.

192
00:14:34,140 --> 00:14:36,174
- An unusual series
of events and circumstances

193
00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:38,409
has thrown us together,
and I'm believing,

194
00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:42,180
knowing your uncle,
for a good reason.

195
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:46,317
Now, you're preliminary
hearing is tomorrow.

196
00:14:46,319 --> 00:14:48,519
- Are they gonna ask
me any questions?

197
00:14:48,521 --> 00:14:50,221
- The prosecution
will call certain

198
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:53,258
witnesses to testify
in front of the judge.

199
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:56,060
Take it easy.

200
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:58,463
I won't be calling you or any
of our potential witnesses

201
00:14:58,465 --> 00:15:00,098
to testify at any of the prelim.

202
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:01,633
- These mother fuckers are
gonna ring me up like...

203
00:15:01,635 --> 00:15:04,602
- A prelim is only so
the judge can decide

204
00:15:04,604 --> 00:15:09,107
if there's enough evidence
to actually have a trial.

205
00:15:09,109 --> 00:15:12,043
Now, you don't have many priors.

206
00:15:12,045 --> 00:15:15,914
A couple of FI cards but,
no convictions.

207
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:17,181
- FI?

208
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:21,986
- You ever tell the
cops who you ran with?

209
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:24,105
- Yeah.

210
00:15:24,106 --> 00:15:26,223
- You see them filling out these
little green cards while you talked?

211
00:15:26,226 --> 00:15:29,494
- Yeah, but that
was a long time ago.

212
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:31,329
- How long?

213
00:15:31,331 --> 00:15:34,666
- Like four or five years ago.
Like when I was 12.

214
00:15:34,668 --> 00:15:38,202
Did I mess up?
- Not as bad as I have.

215
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:41,472
Look, Manny was a solid dude.

216
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,441
I respected him, we got to worry

217
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:45,677
about your ass right now, okay?

218
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:47,478
- I told them fools,
I don't know shit.

219
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,213
My Uncle Manny
said I could drive.

220
00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:53,451
(hip hop music)
(grunting loudly)

221
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:59,390
- You'll get 20
years for this punk.

222
00:16:06,533 --> 00:16:08,566
- Juan, is someone at the door?

223
00:16:08,568 --> 00:16:10,401
- It's just me.

224
00:16:10,403 --> 00:16:12,303
(keys jingling)

225
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:22,981
(car beeping)

226
00:16:24,050 --> 00:16:25,550
- You're the baddest actor ever.

227
00:16:25,552 --> 00:16:28,186
- Shut up man, that
was a piece of shit.

228
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:30,989
- No way, that's the
greatest flick I ever seen.

229
00:16:30,991 --> 00:16:32,623
- Shut up, come on let's go.

230
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:35,326
- I told you, dick,
I don't have my license yet.

231
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:37,996
- So what, come on let's go.

232
00:16:37,998 --> 00:16:39,330
(hip hop music)

233
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:40,264

239
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:51,409
- You said honor

240
00:16:51,411 --> 00:16:54,078
- Never mind what I said,
just listen to me now.

241
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,580
- When you get respect?

242
00:16:55,582 --> 00:16:58,750
- Respect and winning at life
are two different things.

243
00:16:58,752 --> 00:17:00,318
- Well, the homies they're in.

244
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,754
- Hey look, you go in,
you never get out.

245
00:17:02,756 --> 00:17:05,023
Make a right here.

246
00:17:06,292 --> 00:17:09,193
Angie, your mom, Diana,
that's your family.

247
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:12,563
Fifth Street Muertos
preach brotherhood,

248
00:17:12,565 --> 00:17:14,298
us against them.

249
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:16,534
That's all bullshit unless
you're in the joint.

250
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:19,270
And them guys preaching,
they're all lifers.

251
00:17:19,272 --> 00:17:21,672
So they ain't got nothing to do.

252
00:17:21,674 --> 00:17:23,207
The most important thing to them

253
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:25,109
is having a little
money on their books

254
00:17:25,111 --> 00:17:27,345
or some homegirl to write em.

255
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:29,614
They're just using us.

256
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:31,649
And I'm going back
there to be with them.

257
00:17:31,651 --> 00:17:33,151
- I don't understand.

258
00:17:33,153 --> 00:17:35,420
- I've been a criminal
all my life.

259
00:17:35,422 --> 00:17:37,121
And they're not
letting me forget it.

260
00:17:37,123 --> 00:17:39,057
- But you're an actor now.

261
00:17:39,059 --> 00:17:41,793
- I'm not an actor, I'm just
playing the thug that I am.

262
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:44,529
(hip hop music)

263
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,433
They say I gave up big
secrets to get that part

264
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:52,370
in "Gang of Five,"
and they wanted a piece of it.

265
00:17:52,372 --> 00:17:54,305
That's just their angle
to keep me in.

266
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:56,307
(hip hop music)

267
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:59,744
Smile boy,
your uncle's got a plan.

268
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:02,113
It's your big day
behind the wheel.

269
00:18:02,115 --> 00:18:03,381
(farting)

270
00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:06,250
That shit smells sweet.
(laughing)

271
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:10,221
Booyah.

272
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:13,658
- I know he's a good kid.

273
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:15,493
But he's got the FI cards,

274
00:18:15,495 --> 00:18:19,163
the field identification
cards from several years back.

275
00:18:19,165 --> 00:18:21,365
A long time ago, I know
he still isn't innocent.

276
00:18:21,367 --> 00:18:24,635
But it's almost a moot point.

277
00:18:24,637 --> 00:18:27,505
He claims allegiance
to the Muertos which,

278
00:18:27,507 --> 00:18:30,308
fortunately is consistent
with his only tattoo.

279
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:32,276
- [Angie] You have to
understand, he's just a kid.

280
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:34,178
- I understand, but
that little green card

281
00:18:34,180 --> 00:18:38,416
leads to a very big word, gang.

282
00:18:38,418 --> 00:18:40,551
(hip hop music)

283
00:18:44,491 --> 00:18:46,691
- [Uncle Manny]
Choices, choices.

284
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:50,461
Where I grew up,
the way I grew up,

285
00:18:50,463 --> 00:18:53,631
my future looked as bright
as the bottom of a well.

286
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:56,767
(hip hop music)

287
00:18:56,769 --> 00:19:00,204
A slave cutting
someone else's lawn.

288
00:19:00,206 --> 00:19:01,906
Cleaning someone else's toilet.

289
00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:05,243
Breaking my back to put food
on someone else's table.

290
00:19:05,245 --> 00:19:07,311
And in the end for what?

291
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:09,714
Someone else's table scraps.

292
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:13,851
Me, I made the only
logical choice.

293
00:19:14,821 --> 00:19:16,921
Live for today.

294
00:19:16,923 --> 00:19:18,856
(gun firing)

295
00:19:18,858 --> 00:19:21,459
(whooshing)

296
00:19:24,364 --> 00:19:26,497
All that matters is now.

297
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:29,433
(hip hop music)

298
00:19:36,309 --> 00:19:37,286
- [Juan] What's up man?

299
00:19:37,287 --> 00:19:38,264
- [Bouncer] Where you going man?

300
00:19:38,265 --> 00:19:39,242
- I'm going with Harvey, dawg.

301
00:19:39,245 --> 00:19:41,212
- I can't let you in, dawg.

302
00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:42,580
Sorry man, I can't let you in.

303
00:19:42,582 --> 00:19:43,748
- Fuck, homey.

304
00:19:48,621 --> 00:19:50,488
- Hey.

305
00:19:52,258 --> 00:19:54,425
You're cute.

306
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:56,394
(hip hop music)

307
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:59,597
(laughing and chatter)

308
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,533
(hip hop music)

309
00:20:25,425 --> 00:20:26,624
- Get out!

310
00:20:26,626 --> 00:20:28,326
- Get they fuck out
(speaking Spanish).

311
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:30,795
(hip hop music)

312
00:20:42,976 --> 00:20:44,508
- [Group] Yeah.

313
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:48,412
- Hey, foo', check it out,
I think the one in the pink,

314
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:49,680
I think she likes you.

315
00:20:49,681 --> 00:20:50,947
- Naw, Ace,
she just laughs at you.

316
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:53,251
- Dig, she was laughing at you.

317
00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:54,452
Go over there and talk to her

318
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:55,820
if you gonna be
a pussy about it.

319
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:58,389
- I will, foo',
the night is still young.

320
00:20:58,391 --> 00:21:00,958
Plus I got a lot
of catching up to do, homes.

321
00:21:03,496 --> 00:21:04,595
What the fuck?

322
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:06,731
(laughing)

323
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:07,832
(speaking Spanish)

324
00:21:07,834 --> 00:21:11,369
(unintelligible)

325
00:21:11,371 --> 00:21:12,603
- I don't know foo',
but that fool

326
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:13,904
got all the hoes
standing in line.

327
00:21:13,906 --> 00:21:16,307
- Javier?
- Yeah.

328
00:21:16,309 --> 00:21:17,475
He must have hit
the lottery or something.

329
00:21:17,477 --> 00:21:18,909
- No foo' that inking.

330
00:21:18,911 --> 00:21:20,811
That's what get
the bitches heated up dawg.

331
00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:22,313
(whistling)

332
00:21:22,315 --> 00:21:24,015
- Oh, Adolf is calling us.

333
00:21:25,585 --> 00:21:28,619
- What's the scene, Javi?
What's up.

334
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,621
- These are my boys.

335
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:32,056
You know Juan don't you?

336
00:21:32,058 --> 00:21:33,324
- No.

337
00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:34,591
- Sure you do,
you know Manny right?

338
00:21:34,594 --> 00:21:36,761
That's his little nephew.

339
00:21:36,763 --> 00:21:39,597
- You're Manny's nephew?

340
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:41,499
You don't look
like him, schoolboy.

341
00:21:41,501 --> 00:21:43,968
- Yeah he got a lot
of catching up to do.

342
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:46,537
Shit but you gone be losing
some sleep tonight baby.

343
00:21:46,539 --> 00:21:49,006
- Oh?

344
00:21:49,008 --> 00:21:52,810
I'm thirsty, let's go
get something to drink.

345
00:21:56,316 --> 00:21:57,481
- Yeah, boy.

346
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:02,820
- Man, I'm a get Marty
two tattoos, you down.

347
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:05,456
Before you get the stinky,
you got to get the inky first.

348
00:22:05,458 --> 00:22:07,558
(laughing)

349
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:18,903
- Damn, woman.

350
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:22,606
Those are some nice papusas.

351
00:22:23,409 --> 00:22:25,109
Damn.

352
00:22:25,111 --> 00:22:27,031
Baby don't do that
to me, come on.

353
00:22:28,981 --> 00:22:31,482
That's new.
Sukiyaki style, baby.

354
00:22:31,484 --> 00:22:36,754
(speaking Spanish).

355
00:22:36,756 --> 00:22:38,055
Damn.

356
00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:45,129
(car approaching)

357
00:22:50,636 --> 00:22:52,403
- Hey, Ama.

358
00:22:52,405 --> 00:22:54,138
(car door slams)

359
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:55,973
- [Mama] Hello, mijita.

360
00:22:55,975 --> 00:22:57,508
- [Diana] Hey, Grandma.

361
00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:59,510
- (groans) How was school?

362
00:22:59,512 --> 00:23:03,114
- [Girl] Fine. We claydoughed
and played cooking.

363
00:23:03,116 --> 00:23:04,915
- Is Juan home?

364
00:23:04,917 --> 00:23:07,952
- Yes, he got home
about half an hour ago.

365
00:23:07,954 --> 00:23:09,453
- [Angie] Juan!

366
00:23:11,557 --> 00:23:12,990
Juan!

367
00:23:15,661 --> 00:23:17,561
Tell Juan I need
to speak with him,

368
00:23:17,563 --> 00:23:19,697
not to go out anywhere tonight.

369
00:23:19,699 --> 00:23:21,182
- He's not home?

370
00:23:21,183 --> 00:23:22,666
- [Angie] No it seems
he disappeared again.

371
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:23,901
- [Mama] Is something wrong?

372
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:26,637
- I have to go into
class a little earlier,

373
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:27,972
so I'll see you guys
later, okay?

374
00:23:27,974 --> 00:23:29,106
Be good.

375
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:30,841
- [Girl] Okay, mommy.

376
00:23:30,842 --> 00:23:32,575
Can I have a cookie?
- Yes, you know where they are.

377
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:34,545
I'll be in in a minute.

378
00:23:53,099 --> 00:23:54,665
(screaming)

379
00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:56,867
- Do you have a three?

380
00:23:56,869 --> 00:23:59,003
Oh...
Yes.

381
00:23:59,005 --> 00:24:00,704
- I win, I win, I win.

382
00:24:00,706 --> 00:24:02,573
- Not fair, not fair, I had you.

383
00:24:02,575 --> 00:24:05,709
- I'm the bestest.
Right, Grandma?

384
00:24:05,711 --> 00:24:07,178
- Yes. My princess
are the bestest.

385
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:10,080
- (Groaning) Ma call a doctor.

386
00:24:10,082 --> 00:24:12,616
- You need medicine
big or small.

387
00:24:12,618 --> 00:24:14,051
- [Juan] Big.

388
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:16,654
- Andale, Doctor, Adele.
Looks like he's a goner.

389
00:24:16,656 --> 00:24:18,022
(laughing)

390
00:24:18,024 --> 00:24:19,890
You remind me so much
of your Uncle Manny.

391
00:24:19,892 --> 00:24:21,692
Yup.

392
00:24:21,694 --> 00:24:23,661
Do you see anyone else here?

393
00:24:23,663 --> 00:24:24,995
Call him.

394
00:24:24,997 --> 00:24:29,133
Maybe I should say
the way he used to be.

395
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:31,602
(groaning)

396
00:24:38,244 --> 00:24:40,044
You done it again, Doc.

397
00:24:40,046 --> 00:24:40,978
Thank you.

398
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:42,646
- See grandma I saved him.

399
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:45,549
- You'll be
the best doctor ever.

400
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:47,485
- [Girl] Can we play dolls now?

401
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:49,587
- Mm-hmm, go on and set
them up, I'll be right in.

402
00:24:49,589 --> 00:24:51,689
- On my bed?
- Mm-hmm.

403
00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:57,261
- Mama?
- Hmm?

404
00:24:57,263 --> 00:24:59,630
- What do you mean
he used to be?

405
00:24:59,632 --> 00:25:02,833
- Your Uncle Manny was
your Aunt Helen's guardian.

406
00:25:02,835 --> 00:25:05,002
Oh he loved taking care of her.

407
00:25:05,004 --> 00:25:08,172
He used to have little games,
just like you and Danita.

408
00:25:08,174 --> 00:25:09,907
Good thing too
huh, cause I wanted

409
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:12,843
nothing to do with your tia.

410
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:14,178
I was so boy crazy.

411
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:17,214
Pendeja.

412
00:25:17,216 --> 00:25:19,750
- Was that right
after your mom died?

413
00:25:19,752 --> 00:25:23,854
- Yes, thank goodness
for your Uncle Manny.

414
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:27,024
He was only 16 years old then,
your age,

415
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:30,528
but it was as if he knew
what your Tia Lynn needed.

416
00:25:30,530 --> 00:25:32,530
And he wasn't much into
fighting back them.

417
00:25:32,532 --> 00:25:35,833
- Now that's hard to believe.
- It's true.

418
00:25:35,835 --> 00:25:37,835
He was a really sensitive boy.

419
00:25:37,837 --> 00:25:39,837
He would even help
our mother cook

420
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,640
when he saw that she was
really tired after work.

421
00:25:42,642 --> 00:25:45,209
And he didn't even care that
our father would tease him.

422
00:25:45,211 --> 00:25:48,212
- Mama, Manny really?

423
00:25:48,214 --> 00:25:49,780
- Really.

424
00:25:50,917 --> 00:25:52,750
- So what happened?

425
00:25:54,554 --> 00:25:57,254
- This is a tough barrio,
mi hijo.

426
00:25:57,256 --> 00:25:58,923
You know that.

427
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:01,892
And your Uncle Manny
would get beat up.

428
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:04,895
He'd come home with
tears in his eyes.

429
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:07,598
And then your
grandfather would beat

430
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,200
him up again for crying.

431
00:26:10,202 --> 00:26:15,172
(speaking Spanish)

432
00:26:18,778 --> 00:26:20,878
- What's the matter?

433
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,714
- I just get mad at myself
for not doing anything.

434
00:26:23,716 --> 00:26:26,884
- He's drunk, he's still
(speaking Spanish).

435
00:26:26,886 --> 00:26:28,252
Forget about that.

436
00:26:30,323 --> 00:26:33,090
So what happened with Manny?

437
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:34,758
What changed him?

438
00:26:35,995 --> 00:26:39,930
- Your Uncle Manny,
mi hijo, was fast

439
00:26:39,932 --> 00:26:42,967
and he would always run away.

440
00:26:42,969 --> 00:26:46,870
One day your
grandfather caught him.

441
00:26:46,872 --> 00:26:50,074
Manny was crunched
down on the floor.

442
00:26:50,076 --> 00:26:54,144
And your abuelo punched
and punched and punched.

443
00:26:55,247 --> 00:26:57,781
Your tio curled himself
up into a little ball

444
00:26:57,783 --> 00:26:59,817
and covered himself
with his arms.

445
00:26:59,819 --> 00:27:02,820
He never fought
back, and he just

446
00:27:02,822 --> 00:27:05,756
punched and punched and punched.

447
00:27:08,060 --> 00:27:11,095
Manny's arms got so bruised,

448
00:27:11,097 --> 00:27:13,864
he couldn't
hold them up anymore.

449
00:27:15,201 --> 00:27:20,738
And when they fell to
his side, he didn't stop.

450
00:27:26,278 --> 00:27:30,981
His face, I'll never forget it.

451
00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:33,117
I couldn't recognize him.

452
00:27:34,220 --> 00:27:39,957
The stitches,
he looked like Frankenstein.

453
00:27:40,893 --> 00:27:43,694
(dramatic music)

454
00:27:47,166 --> 00:27:50,901
(speaking Spanish)

455
00:27:51,971 --> 00:27:53,103
(sobbing)

456
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:55,839
We're all going
to be alright, mi hijo.

457
00:27:55,841 --> 00:27:57,241
Shh.

458
00:28:02,848 --> 00:28:06,016
- [Manny] Life is a game,
but there are rules.

459
00:28:06,018 --> 00:28:09,219
(people playing)

460
00:28:09,221 --> 00:28:12,890
Rules are supposed
to make the game fair.

461
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:17,027
Second place don't mean shit.

462
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:20,931
So that winning becomes
the only thing that matters.

463
00:28:23,169 --> 00:28:26,937
Then life becomes about
bending and breaking the rules.

464
00:28:30,976 --> 00:28:33,811
(crowd cheering)

465
00:28:34,447 --> 00:28:35,979
- Yeah.

466
00:28:35,981 --> 00:28:38,482
(grunting)

467
00:28:38,484 --> 00:28:39,784
- Hey, hey, back up.

468
00:28:39,785 --> 00:28:41,085
- You lost the
battle, you keep this

469
00:28:41,086 --> 00:28:42,386
shit up you're gonna
lose the war too.

470
00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:43,987
- We can go right here right
now, puto.

471
00:28:43,989 --> 00:28:45,422
Right the fuck now.

472
00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:47,825
- Come on Smiley, what you got?

473
00:28:47,827 --> 00:28:49,259
Come on.

474
00:28:51,797 --> 00:28:53,263
- You only right 'cause
you got a badge, pussy.

475
00:28:53,265 --> 00:28:55,132
- Best get to getting.

476
00:28:55,134 --> 00:28:56,266
- Bye, Smiley.

477
00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:59,169
(people chatting)

478
00:29:04,143 --> 00:29:07,111
- Thugs like that are only
dangerous amongst the pack.

479
00:29:07,113 --> 00:29:08,946
All bark and no bite.

480
00:29:12,918 --> 00:29:15,419
You ever seen or smelled
that scumbag before?

481
00:29:15,421 --> 00:29:16,420
- Naw.

482
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:18,522
- Really?
- Yeah.

483
00:29:18,524 --> 00:29:20,124
- The way he was
riding you all game,

484
00:29:20,126 --> 00:29:21,492
I thought you guys
had some history.

485
00:29:21,494 --> 00:29:24,161
- He's gonna be history, dude.

486
00:29:27,133 --> 00:29:29,166
- Maybe he's just sweating
over our best player.

487
00:29:29,168 --> 00:29:32,803
- Thanks, bro, but you
still got game, old man.

488
00:29:32,805 --> 00:29:35,939
- Well, at least my
jimmy still works.

489
00:29:37,176 --> 00:29:39,376
But you, bro,
you were born to play point.

490
00:29:39,378 --> 00:29:43,380
- Not born, just taught
by a pretty cool coach.

491
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:46,850
- I'm telling you,
try out again.

492
00:29:46,852 --> 00:29:51,822
So you took a year off,
they could use you at point.

493
00:29:51,824 --> 00:29:53,924
- I'm not into
this shit anymore.

494
00:29:53,926 --> 00:29:56,226
You know, I'm tired of people
telling me what to do.

495
00:29:56,228 --> 00:29:59,129
All right?
- All right.

496
00:30:00,065 --> 00:30:02,232
All right.

497
00:30:02,234 --> 00:30:05,102
I'm sorry, you're right.
I'm gonna shut up.

498
00:30:05,971 --> 00:30:10,140
I just like having
you back out here, bro.

499
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,242
It's good to have you back.

500
00:30:12,244 --> 00:30:14,845
- Back home.
It feels good.

501
00:30:14,847 --> 00:30:17,481
- Being part
of a team always does.

502
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:18,982
- [Man] Hey, Sarge!

503
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:21,018
- That's why these
chumps will be playing

504
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:23,420
for second place all day long.

505
00:30:23,422 --> 00:30:25,222
- All right let's go, d-up,
d-up, you check him out.

506
00:30:25,224 --> 00:30:27,825
Let's go, let's go.

507
00:30:28,928 --> 00:30:31,295
- Hey school boy.
- Hey working girl.

508
00:30:31,297 --> 00:30:33,130
- That's cold.

509
00:30:33,132 --> 00:30:35,265
(speaking Spanish)

510
00:30:35,267 --> 00:30:37,868
- [Coach] Come on it's
tip off time playa.

511
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:42,339
- Just count me out coach.
- Better get going.

512
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:44,007
[Unintelligible]

513
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:46,210
- Never knew you
were such a stud.

514
00:30:46,212 --> 00:30:48,178
Nice moves out there.

515
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:50,480
- You ain't seen nothing.
I'm better one on one.

516
00:30:51,417 --> 00:30:53,383
- [Coach] Come on, Juan.

517
00:30:53,385 --> 00:30:55,619
- Are you gonna be
at the mall tonight?

518
00:30:55,621 --> 00:30:57,287
- Better make it quick.

519
00:30:57,289 --> 00:31:00,557
I have some other things
for a girl like me to do.

520
00:31:01,861 --> 00:31:03,093
- Come on, youngster.
Let's go man.

521
00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:07,097
Okay here we go.
Hold up! LAPD is in the house.

522
00:31:07,099 --> 00:31:10,601
(hip hop music)

523
00:31:10,603 --> 00:31:12,569
Hey, yo, give me the rock!

524
00:31:12,571 --> 00:31:15,005
Let's go!
Let's go!

525
00:31:39,231 --> 00:31:41,164
- Yo!

526
00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:43,100
Let's go!

527
00:31:44,136 --> 00:31:47,137
Hey!
Come on, Juan!

528
00:31:47,139 --> 00:31:48,572
Yo, what's up?

529
00:32:00,619 --> 00:32:03,387
(Clapping)

530
00:32:05,291 --> 00:32:07,257
Come on, James!

531
00:32:11,397 --> 00:32:13,563
- Time, time, time.

532
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:18,402
- 51-50, 51-50.
- Gotcha.

533
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:22,339
- Listen this is
the ball, not her ass.

534
00:32:22,341 --> 00:32:24,474
Can't you see she's
just playing you.

535
00:32:24,476 --> 00:32:26,009
Come on, pick at the top
of the key.

536
00:32:26,011 --> 00:32:29,079
You got that shot,
you take it. Come on.

537
00:32:29,081 --> 00:32:31,415
Alright, ball in. Ball in.
- Ball in.

538
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,553
(crowd cheering)

539
00:32:49,501 --> 00:32:51,268
(crowd cheering)

540
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,221
- Can I give you a lift?
- Naw I'm all right.

541
00:33:11,223 --> 00:33:12,723
- You kicked some ass, bro.

542
00:33:12,725 --> 00:33:16,159
You didn't need us out there,
you don't need her either.

543
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:19,363
- Hey you're in line
to be the man.

544
00:33:19,365 --> 00:33:21,198
- Young stud.

545
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,100
-Stay up, dawg.

546
00:33:23,102 --> 00:33:24,668
- Bring us some donuts.

547
00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:27,204
- I'll take a bran muffin.

548
00:33:27,206 --> 00:33:29,339
- You sure I can't
give you a lift?

549
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:31,575
- Naw I'm alright,
I'll catch up later.

550
00:33:45,657 --> 00:33:48,291
- Come on. Hurry up, puto. We
have a lot of catching up to do.

551
00:33:48,293 --> 00:33:51,194
- Yeah homes I heard Rosa's
throwing a party, we should go.

552
00:33:51,196 --> 00:33:53,196
- Man you and I both
know there's no way in hell

553
00:33:53,198 --> 00:33:54,698
we're getting into that party.

554
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:57,300
- Maybe you two can't get
in but I know I can get in.

555
00:33:57,302 --> 00:34:00,303
- This one wants to go all
the way to Rosa's house

556
00:34:00,305 --> 00:34:02,105
to a party that we
may not even get into.

557
00:34:02,107 --> 00:34:03,640
- You're a stupid ass fool.

558
00:34:03,642 --> 00:34:06,143
- We're already have beers.
We just kick it

559
00:34:06,145 --> 00:34:08,278
with the homies and
get a little 10 sack.

560
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,680
- (Knocking)
- Oh shit.

561
00:34:10,682 --> 00:34:13,450
- Don't get scared, fucker.
I'm not your mom, fool.

562
00:34:13,452 --> 00:34:16,353
- What's up foo'?

563
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:18,121

566
00:34:23,629 --> 00:34:25,429
- Oh you can read fucker.

567
00:34:25,431 --> 00:34:26,763
(laughing)

568
00:34:26,765 --> 00:34:29,132
(hip hop music)

569
00:34:40,612 --> 00:34:42,379
- You're be more on top of girls

570
00:34:42,381 --> 00:34:44,214
when you get your
fucking tattoo.

571
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:46,683
- [Juan] Hey you guys don't
want to smoke or what?

572
00:34:46,685 --> 00:34:49,619
- Hey that's all you,
don't even trip on it.

573
00:34:49,621 --> 00:34:51,121
Once you get to the strip club,

574
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:52,556
you'll see what
real bitches are.

575
00:34:52,558 --> 00:34:54,157
(hip hop music)

576
00:34:56,195 --> 00:34:58,762
(cat calling)

577
00:34:59,531 --> 00:35:02,299
(hip hop music)

578
00:35:43,175 --> 00:35:45,509
- You like that huh?
- Shit hell yeah.

579
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:50,814
Veritas, homies.

580
00:35:52,151 --> 00:35:54,885
(hip hop music)

581
00:36:09,868 --> 00:36:14,304
(tattoo needle whirring)
(pop music)

582
00:36:25,918 --> 00:36:29,419
- All right, I'm a take
a quick smoke break.

583
00:36:29,421 --> 00:36:31,821
I'll be back in a little
while to finish you guys up.

584
00:36:31,823 --> 00:36:34,391
- All right do your thing.

585
00:36:35,661 --> 00:36:37,761
Hold that mother fucker in,
you know that shit hurt.

586
00:36:37,763 --> 00:36:40,263
(laughing)
- You little bitch.

587
00:36:41,366 --> 00:36:45,202
- Let me check this out.
I like that shit.

588
00:36:45,204 --> 00:36:47,444
Don't cry, stupid asshole.
What's up right there?

589
00:36:51,210 --> 00:36:54,511
Ya, next stop, coochie town.

590
00:36:54,513 --> 00:36:57,447
- You know what foo, we're
gonna be the next generation.

591
00:36:57,449 --> 00:36:59,416
Walk tall or don't walk at all.

592
00:36:59,418 --> 00:37:02,485
- Last man standing, baby, show
what you got. Marco for life.

593
00:37:02,487 --> 00:37:04,821
Los tres amigos riding
proud and riding high.

594
00:37:12,764 --> 00:37:16,499
(speaking Spanish)

595
00:37:16,501 --> 00:37:17,834
Wait up.
Wait up.

596
00:37:17,836 --> 00:37:20,537
- What happened, who that?

597
00:37:20,539 --> 00:37:23,306
I don't know what happened.
What's up with this one?

598
00:37:23,308 --> 00:37:26,710
- Man, what the fuck.

599
00:37:26,712 --> 00:37:28,445
Not now, man.

600
00:37:28,447 --> 00:37:30,580
Know what I'm saying, dawg.

601
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:32,882
All right.
It's Manny, man. It's my bad.

602
00:37:32,884 --> 00:37:34,551
Homie, 911.

603
00:37:34,553 --> 00:37:38,488
Bounce homey, my bad,
catch you guys later man.

604
00:37:38,490 --> 00:37:39,789
- Glad you answered
your phone, dawg.

605
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:41,358
- [Juan] Yeah man.

606
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:46,162
- [Passenger] Look.

607
00:37:46,163 --> 00:37:48,530
- Ya what's up. That mother fucker
just flaked out on us, dawg.

608
00:37:48,533 --> 00:37:50,433
- [Passenger] Got him.

609
00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:54,704
- You know what to do dawg, get
back to me later, all right.

610
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:57,941
(helicopter whirring)

611
00:38:05,284 --> 00:38:08,018
(hip hop music)

612
00:38:45,924 --> 00:38:48,825
- Fucking pigs.
- Relax.

613
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:51,861
Think about it,
if we smoke this little punk,

614
00:38:51,863 --> 00:38:54,631
shit's gonna hit the fan homey.

615
00:38:54,633 --> 00:38:58,368
Better to keep Manny in the
pocket, you know what I'm saying?

616
00:39:03,775 --> 00:39:05,942
I got a plan, homey.

617
00:39:05,944 --> 00:39:07,911
I got a plan.

618
00:39:07,913 --> 00:39:09,746
Let's go.

619
00:39:17,856 --> 00:39:21,057
- Perfect form,
two dribbles, one point.

620
00:39:22,427 --> 00:39:24,894
I think I can take
credit for that.

621
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:26,663
- [Juan] What are
you doing here?

622
00:39:26,665 --> 00:39:27,964
- I'm working.

623
00:39:27,966 --> 00:39:29,632
What are you doing?

624
00:39:29,634 --> 00:39:31,835
- Nothing.

625
00:39:31,837 --> 00:39:33,937
- Reconsidering what I said
about joining the team?

626
00:39:33,939 --> 00:39:38,375
- Yeah.
- Such enthusiasm.

627
00:39:38,377 --> 00:39:41,077
- Naw really.

628
00:39:41,079 --> 00:39:42,746
- You know it's not
such a bad thing,

629
00:39:42,748 --> 00:39:44,447
not being able to lie well.

630
00:39:44,449 --> 00:39:46,383
- I wasn't trying to.
- I know.

631
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:50,019
Girl troubles.

632
00:39:50,021 --> 00:39:51,821
- Maybe.

633
00:39:51,823 --> 00:39:53,723
- You remember when
I asked you if you knew

634
00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:55,625
them bangers in the stands?

635
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:57,994
- Yeah.
- Well, they're Muertos.

636
00:39:57,996 --> 00:40:00,563
Not from here.
Higher up like your uncle.

637
00:40:00,565 --> 00:40:02,632
She's their property.

638
00:40:02,634 --> 00:40:04,968
- What is it with you and Manny?

639
00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:07,771
(dramatic music)

640
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:12,475
- There's some things in life
you can walk away from.

641
00:40:12,477 --> 00:40:13,943
Not them.

642
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:16,513
- I'm tired of people
telling me what to do.

643
00:40:16,515 --> 00:40:19,048
Advice, advice, advice, fuck it.

644
00:40:22,821 --> 00:40:24,487
- You're right.

645
00:40:24,489 --> 00:40:28,625
You're right, who am I
to tell you what to do?

646
00:40:28,627 --> 00:40:31,094
Whether you like it or not,
you're gonna be a man.

647
00:40:31,096 --> 00:40:34,764
And a man is responsible
for his choices.

648
00:40:36,501 --> 00:40:41,137
It's your choice boy,
be a man or a slave.

649
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:46,176
Choose well.

650
00:40:48,046 --> 00:40:50,914
- Whatevers man.

651
00:41:03,462 --> 00:41:06,062
Be a man or be a slave.

652
00:41:06,064 --> 00:41:07,764
Fuck.

653
00:41:07,766 --> 00:41:10,600
(dramatic music)

654
00:41:29,921 --> 00:41:32,522
- All right, don't even
trip, don't take it personal.

655
00:41:32,524 --> 00:41:34,157
(dramatic music)

656
00:42:55,874 --> 00:42:57,307
- What's this?

657
00:42:59,077 --> 00:43:01,778
Okay cut, cut.

658
00:43:04,182 --> 00:43:07,717
- Okay, let's take 10.

659
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,788
All right, and by 10
that means, you know, not 15.

660
00:43:15,894 --> 00:43:18,761
Ah, Mr. Garcia.
- Call me Manny.

661
00:43:18,763 --> 00:43:22,732
- Okay, Manny, listen you're
a bullshit guy, okay.

662
00:43:24,803 --> 00:43:27,721
And so am I.

663
00:43:27,722 --> 00:43:30,640
And so I feel like I would
be remiss if I didn't tell you

664
00:43:30,642 --> 00:43:33,042
that your character needs
just like way more rage.

665
00:43:33,044 --> 00:43:36,946
Because you're a fucking
street gang killer, right.

666
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:39,215
Right, okay, so the audience
needs to see his rage

667
00:43:39,217 --> 00:43:41,084
to feel the fear, right.

668
00:43:41,086 --> 00:43:44,087
Okay look, you're standing
toe to toe with your rival,

669
00:43:44,089 --> 00:43:47,290
and you want to intimidate him,
so I need

670
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:50,193
your arms just flailing wildly.

671
00:43:50,195 --> 00:43:53,262
Maybe some screaming,
maybe some finger poking,

672
00:43:53,264 --> 00:43:55,264
maybe some chest thumping
if you've got it because

673
00:43:55,266 --> 00:43:58,234
the audience can not
experience the fear of you if

674
00:43:58,236 --> 00:44:00,637
you're just standing there
in some silent stare down.

675
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:03,239
Now I take this time
with you, only because

676
00:44:03,241 --> 00:44:04,974
I think you've got
a lot of potential.

677
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:08,678
But trust me when I tell you
that if I'm not afraid of you,

678
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,415
the audience isn't gonna be.

679
00:44:12,417 --> 00:44:15,284
- Barking dog's
a dead give away.

680
00:44:15,286 --> 00:44:18,955
Why should I shove or
threaten some punk in my way?

681
00:44:18,957 --> 00:44:23,426
If he disrespects me,
I'm gonna turn him inside out

682
00:44:23,428 --> 00:44:26,162
by taking everything that's
important to him in his life.

683
00:44:26,164 --> 00:44:28,031
Then I'm going to come for him.

684
00:44:28,033 --> 00:44:29,766
And by that time,
he'll be begging me

685
00:44:29,768 --> 00:44:32,802
to put him out of his misery.

686
00:44:32,804 --> 00:44:37,040
Now that's real.
I'm not acting.

687
00:44:38,276 --> 00:44:44,714
Now, get your camera,
get it up close,

688
00:44:44,716 --> 00:44:47,750
and you let me do my stuff.

689
00:44:47,752 --> 00:44:51,154
- Yeah, you're right,
you're the real deal.

690
00:44:51,156 --> 00:44:54,323
That's why I hired you,
okay, okay.

691
00:44:54,325 --> 00:44:59,395
But just do me a favor,
go back to your trailer

692
00:44:59,397 --> 00:45:03,800
and think or rather rehearse
the scene as I said.

693
00:45:03,802 --> 00:45:06,035
Okay just a minute, just
a minute, just a minute.

694
00:45:06,037 --> 00:45:08,104
We're just doing a rehearsal
for the other guy

695
00:45:08,106 --> 00:45:09,872
while the cameras are still
set this way

696
00:45:09,874 --> 00:45:11,374
and I kinda wanna
see how he reacts.

697
00:45:11,376 --> 00:45:13,843
- It's gonna look fake.

698
00:45:13,845 --> 00:45:15,745
- No, no, no,
don't worry about that.

699
00:45:15,747 --> 00:45:17,780
We're gonna reset the cameras
and we're gonna do it

700
00:45:17,782 --> 00:45:20,083
exactly the way you
described it, okay.

701
00:45:20,085 --> 00:45:23,986
So why don't you go off and
come back in 10 minutes.

702
00:45:23,988 --> 00:45:25,388
And we'll shoot it.

703
00:45:25,390 --> 00:45:27,990
Probably about six minutes
now but whatever okay.

704
00:45:27,992 --> 00:45:30,632
Really mean, really
angry, really crazy.

705
00:45:31,329 --> 00:45:32,962
- I guess you straightened
that fool, uncle.

706
00:45:32,964 --> 00:45:36,365
- Yeah some days are
better than others.

707
00:45:39,237 --> 00:45:41,070
- I want you to
reload the whole mag

708
00:45:41,072 --> 00:45:45,274
and run the camera when I
say over the top rehearsal.

709
00:45:45,276 --> 00:45:47,043
That was scary though right.

710
00:45:47,045 --> 00:45:49,112
Too scary for TV, all right.

711
00:45:49,114 --> 00:45:51,814
Juice, I want juice.

712
00:45:53,451 --> 00:45:55,318
- Can't wait till you
straighten Angie out.

713
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,886
You got me off the shots, tio.

714
00:45:56,888 --> 00:45:59,355
- Well she's right sometimes.

715
00:45:59,357 --> 00:46:01,991
She's playing the odds, she's
right more than she's wrong.

716
00:46:01,993 --> 00:46:04,193
- She's always making
noises how me and the homies

717
00:46:04,195 --> 00:46:06,295
are taking a one way
trip to Loserville.

718
00:46:06,297 --> 00:46:07,930
That's bullshit.

719
00:46:07,932 --> 00:46:10,133
This bus, naw this limo
leads to Hollywood pussy.

720
00:46:10,135 --> 00:46:13,536
(laughing)
- Settle down homes.

721
00:46:13,538 --> 00:46:15,838
It's a dog eat dog
world out there.

722
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,474
And without an education you
just howling at the moon.

723
00:46:18,476 --> 00:46:21,010
And you know what happens
when the man gets tired

724
00:46:21,012 --> 00:46:23,312
of hearing you howling.

725
00:46:23,314 --> 00:46:25,448
He puts your ass to sleep.

726
00:46:32,457 --> 00:46:34,090
Nasty little girl.

727
00:46:34,092 --> 00:46:36,826
I'll be there,
don't get started without me.

728
00:46:36,828 --> 00:46:39,829
- What you say about
howling at the moon?

729
00:46:39,831 --> 00:46:41,230
You getting on that?
- Maybe.

730
00:46:41,232 --> 00:46:44,100
- Come on, ese,
you got to learn to share.

731
00:46:44,102 --> 00:46:46,369
- Just know, every woman
wants you to command them.

732
00:46:46,371 --> 00:46:49,038
Weakness never tolerated.

733
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:54,177
- I get it, confidence.
- And perpetual motion.

734
00:46:54,179 --> 00:46:59,215
Even a shark can't stop
swimming or it'll die.

735
00:46:59,217 --> 00:47:01,350
Now Hollywood and the barrio,
they're different worlds,

736
00:47:01,352 --> 00:47:03,486
but believe me,
they're both shark tanks.

737
00:47:03,488 --> 00:47:07,957
- Me, Norman, and Jose been
doing some swimming, homes.

738
00:47:07,959 --> 00:47:10,393
- What about your sister,
she dating anybody.

739
00:47:10,395 --> 00:47:12,528
She never tells me shit
about what she's doing.

740
00:47:12,530 --> 00:47:15,164
- She got some pretty high
standards, believe it or not.

741
00:47:15,166 --> 00:47:18,534
- That's good.
She's smart.

742
00:47:18,536 --> 00:47:20,436
And that scares dudes.

743
00:47:21,472 --> 00:47:23,105
But she gotta stop
getting down on herself

744
00:47:23,107 --> 00:47:26,509
about getting pregnant
with that white dude.

745
00:47:26,511 --> 00:47:28,110
She's gonna end up
a bitter old woman

746
00:47:28,112 --> 00:47:29,846
if she don't start
having some fun.

747
00:47:29,848 --> 00:47:33,482
(speaking Spanish)

748
00:47:33,484 --> 00:47:35,318
- Yeah but work is good.

749
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,553
- [Juan] I know but I
wanna have some fun too.

750
00:47:37,555 --> 00:47:39,288
- Fine ass coochie too.

751
00:47:39,290 --> 00:47:41,557
(dramatic music)

752
00:47:41,559 --> 00:47:43,526
- Manny.

753
00:47:43,528 --> 00:47:45,595
Like what you done to the place.

754
00:47:48,499 --> 00:47:50,199
- Wait outside.

755
00:47:50,201 --> 00:47:52,635
Ain't no need for that,
we all family.

756
00:47:52,637 --> 00:47:57,173
- Sure homes, it's about
time you got to know us.

757
00:48:00,879 --> 00:48:02,578
- Go get me a soda.

758
00:48:02,580 --> 00:48:04,547
And don't rush.

759
00:48:10,488 --> 00:48:11,954
- I been missing you.

760
00:48:11,956 --> 00:48:14,590
It ain't polite to leave
your family hanging.

761
00:48:14,592 --> 00:48:17,159
- Sure smells like home, homes.

762
00:48:17,161 --> 00:48:18,661
(laughing)

763
00:48:18,663 --> 00:48:21,664
- Always count on
Manny for a laugh.

764
00:48:21,666 --> 00:48:24,133
Even when the shit's
gone hit the fan.

765
00:48:24,135 --> 00:48:26,269
- Or standing downwind.

766
00:48:26,271 --> 00:48:28,938
(laughing)

767
00:48:28,940 --> 00:48:32,408
- You're right, he's the
right man for the job.

768
00:48:32,410 --> 00:48:34,143
- Yep.

769
00:48:45,056 --> 00:48:46,956
- I know you're up there.

770
00:48:52,330 --> 00:48:54,497
I know you're up there.

771
00:49:07,712 --> 00:49:09,946
Pretty smart when you wanna be.

772
00:49:09,948 --> 00:49:11,580
- Only half a point down.

773
00:49:11,582 --> 00:49:13,316
- Add it up
from last year, Juan,

774
00:49:13,318 --> 00:49:15,184
you've gone from
a B to a C student.

775
00:49:15,186 --> 00:49:17,153
What's the matter?
- Nothing.

776
00:49:17,155 --> 00:49:18,354
- If you don't talk to me,

777
00:49:18,356 --> 00:49:19,956
how am I supposed
to help you out.

778
00:49:19,958 --> 00:49:22,658
Can't you see you're
setting up your patterns.

779
00:49:22,660 --> 00:49:24,727
They'll shape everything you do.

780
00:49:24,729 --> 00:49:26,362
They'll shape your whole future.

781
00:49:26,364 --> 00:49:27,730
- The future, the
future, the future!

782
00:49:27,732 --> 00:49:29,615
Who cares!

783
00:49:29,616 --> 00:49:31,499
If you ain't living now,
you ain't ever gone live!

784
00:49:31,502 --> 00:49:34,737
- Sounds like something
your uncle would say.

785
00:49:34,739 --> 00:49:36,572
- So what, what if he's right!

786
00:49:36,574 --> 00:49:39,208
I ain't interesting in breaking
laws for the next 50 years,

787
00:49:39,210 --> 00:49:41,644
watching all
the hot bitches go by.

788
00:49:41,646 --> 00:49:43,379
Wondering where my life
went with a bunch of

789
00:49:43,381 --> 00:49:45,047
(speaking Spanish)

790
00:49:45,049 --> 00:49:47,750
- It's funny,
he shows up a year ago

791
00:49:47,752 --> 00:49:50,186
fresh out of prison,
your grades fall,

792
00:49:50,188 --> 00:49:51,654
you're nowhere to be found.

793
00:49:51,656 --> 00:49:53,589
What's he trying to
do, mentor his protege?

794
00:49:53,591 --> 00:49:56,058
- Bullshit!
You don't know nothing, girl.

795
00:49:56,060 --> 00:49:58,160
All he ever says is don't
do the mistake he did.

796
00:49:58,162 --> 00:50:00,229
He told me to listen to you.

797
00:50:00,231 --> 00:50:01,564
- I can see you're
really listening.

798
00:50:01,566 --> 00:50:02,999
- You're just like
everyone else.

799
00:50:03,001 --> 00:50:04,633
You only know what
you think you see.

800
00:50:04,635 --> 00:50:06,535
- You're young.

801
00:50:06,537 --> 00:50:08,571
I'm just trying to help you out.

802
00:50:08,573 --> 00:50:10,339
- Help me, you don't know me.

803
00:50:10,341 --> 00:50:12,108
You just want me to be like you.

804
00:50:12,110 --> 00:50:14,643
- You're a boy, about
to become a man.

805
00:50:14,645 --> 00:50:17,046
You see you're
uncle, he's a man.

806
00:50:17,048 --> 00:50:20,483
I know he's a type of role
model me and mama could never be

807
00:50:20,485 --> 00:50:22,184
and I know he means well.

808
00:50:22,186 --> 00:50:23,786
But he can't help who he is.

809
00:50:23,788 --> 00:50:27,757
I just don't want his lifestyle
to start rubbing off on you.

810
00:50:27,759 --> 00:50:30,292
And I know you think it
can't happen, but it can.

811
00:50:30,294 --> 00:50:32,561
I'm sorry but until
your grades shape up,

812
00:50:32,563 --> 00:50:34,530
you can't hang out with
Manny on the set anymore.

813
00:50:34,532 --> 00:50:35,765
- What!

814
00:50:35,767 --> 00:50:37,433
- You can chill with
Manny as long as

815
00:50:37,435 --> 00:50:39,068
it's in the right atmosphere.

816
00:50:39,070 --> 00:50:40,386
- Like here?
- Yes.

817
00:50:40,387 --> 00:50:41,703
- What's wrong with me
kicking it at work with him?

818
00:50:41,706 --> 00:50:44,273
- Hollywood is all about money.

819
00:50:44,275 --> 00:50:48,411
They glorify criminals,
violence, sex, and drugs.

820
00:50:48,413 --> 00:50:50,413
They totally misrepresent
our people to be some

821
00:50:50,415 --> 00:50:55,418
uneducated gang banging peasants,
mojados, so on and so on.

822
00:50:56,387 --> 00:50:59,622
Other than prison,
that's the last positive place

823
00:50:59,624 --> 00:51:01,457
to find a role model.

824
00:51:03,561 --> 00:51:05,227

Okay fellas, don't
forget to tip your girls.

835

Next up, we got Nightingale.

836

(hip hop music)

837
00:51:51,142 --> 00:51:52,608
- Record time, homes.

838
00:51:54,812 --> 00:51:56,879
You better not have any enemies

839
00:51:56,881 --> 00:51:58,841
because you're becoming
predictable.

840
00:52:00,351 --> 00:52:02,151
- I used to think
you were funny.

841
00:52:02,153 --> 00:52:04,286
But that was a long time ago.

842
00:52:04,288 --> 00:52:06,589
- Maybe you need a drink.

843
00:52:06,591 --> 00:52:08,724
- I still ain't laughing.

844
00:52:08,726 --> 00:52:10,826
- I'm not joking.

845
00:52:10,828 --> 00:52:12,728
I'll have another.

846
00:52:18,402 --> 00:52:22,805
Call it a condemned
man's last pop

847
00:52:22,807 --> 00:52:25,774
at the nostalgic place
where he become a man.

848
00:52:25,776 --> 00:52:27,610
Salud.

849
00:52:30,148 --> 00:52:31,881
- Where you took your first step

850
00:52:31,883 --> 00:52:35,818
and a 1000 more that could lead
you to only one destination.

851
00:52:36,721 --> 00:52:38,888
Where you arrived.

852
00:52:39,824 --> 00:52:42,558
- Judge not, lest he be judged.

853
00:52:45,596 --> 00:52:47,463
- We had an understanding.

854
00:52:49,867 --> 00:52:52,201
What the matter,
cat got your tongue?

855
00:52:53,171 --> 00:52:55,938
- Only a dreamer would
expect a blind hunting dog

856
00:52:55,940 --> 00:52:58,774
to stop barking or drooling.

857
00:52:59,744 --> 00:53:02,578
- I see everything, punk.

858
00:53:02,580 --> 00:53:07,550
And even a blind dog can smell
shit in his own backyard.

859
00:53:08,886 --> 00:53:13,489
It's just you and me, but you
still better think hard.

860
00:53:17,695 --> 00:53:19,862
What does the script say,
Hollywood?

861
00:53:19,864 --> 00:53:21,964
Or you can't recall?

862
00:53:23,334 --> 00:53:26,268
- You better pay attention
to your cop videos.

863
00:53:26,270 --> 00:53:29,738
Mr. Hollywood's got
his big closeup mañana.

864
00:53:29,740 --> 00:53:36,278
And I don't need no tear
tracks crying over hurting you.

865
00:53:37,515 --> 00:53:40,216
(speaking Spanish)

866
00:53:40,218 --> 00:53:42,952
(hip hop music)

867
00:54:10,348 --> 00:54:12,548
-Shhhh.

868
00:54:27,331 --> 00:54:29,365
- How long have
they been asleep?

869
00:54:29,367 --> 00:54:32,034
- I don't know they started
watching the movie around 8:00.

870
00:54:33,938 --> 00:54:36,505
Mijita it's just his pride.

871
00:54:38,542 --> 00:54:41,777
- Mr. Night owl goes to bed at
8:00, three nights in a row.

872
00:54:41,779 --> 00:54:44,580
It's more than that.

873
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:48,467
I just don't want
him to hate me.

874
00:54:48,468 --> 00:54:50,985
- He just wants to be a man.
- I want him to be a man too.

875
00:54:50,988 --> 00:54:53,889
I feel like I'm doing
the complete opposite.

876
00:54:53,891 --> 00:54:55,658
- Shh.

877
00:54:55,660 --> 00:54:58,060
- I'm just tired, Ama.

878
00:54:58,062 --> 00:55:02,398
- I know, I know mijita.

879
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,933
And I'm so proud of you.

880
00:55:08,439 --> 00:55:11,907
- Thanks, Ama.
With work and school.

881
00:55:11,909 --> 00:55:14,543
- You're a good
example for Juanito.

882
00:55:14,545 --> 00:55:17,313
- I hope so.

883
00:55:17,315 --> 00:55:19,915
- Why don't I put this away
and you go get some rest.

884
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:23,619
- No, I have to start
on the sauce tonight.

885
00:55:23,621 --> 00:55:26,689
Can you put Diana to bed.

886
00:55:38,602 --> 00:55:40,402
(dramatic music)

887
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:46,008
- [Manny] No one knows
what the future will bring.

888
00:55:46,010 --> 00:55:50,746
But we can all see our past.

889
00:55:50,748 --> 00:55:55,117
With all it's joys and
sorrows, triumphs and defeats.

890
00:55:56,420 --> 00:56:00,456
One thing shines bright, family.

891
00:56:01,559 --> 00:56:03,592
When you betray those you love,

892
00:56:03,594 --> 00:56:07,129
you go against the law of blood.

893
00:56:09,433 --> 00:56:11,600
(dishes clanking)

894
00:56:48,072 --> 00:56:50,005
- So how are your grades?

895
00:56:52,510 --> 00:56:54,109
- Dessert?
- Yeah!

896
00:56:54,111 --> 00:56:56,111
- Yes, mijita,
that would be nice.

897
00:56:56,113 --> 00:56:57,579
- Yeah sure.

898
00:56:59,784 --> 00:57:01,717
- So what did your
mama make for us?

899
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,719
- It's a surprise.

900
00:57:03,721 --> 00:57:06,422
- It's a surprise.
- Good I like surprises.

901
00:57:08,459 --> 00:57:09,958
Ohhhh!

902
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,126
- Wow.

903
00:57:11,128 --> 00:57:14,196
- [Mama] Ooh!
- (laughing)

904
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:18,967
- Oh I'm sorry.
- Thanks a lot.

905
00:57:18,969 --> 00:57:20,769
- You know I'm
sorry for laughing.

906
00:57:20,771 --> 00:57:22,604
- You ought to be ashamed
of yourself Manny.

907
00:57:22,606 --> 00:57:24,706
- It's a natural reaction.

908
00:57:24,708 --> 00:57:26,708
- She's been cooking
all day pobrecita..

909
00:57:26,710 --> 00:57:28,644
- I'm sorry she's upset
but you know what,

910
00:57:28,646 --> 00:57:30,512
I'm not ashamed.

911
00:57:30,514 --> 00:57:32,781
- You don't have
to defend me, Ama.

912
00:57:32,783 --> 00:57:34,116
- Since when was
I attacking you.

913
00:57:34,118 --> 00:57:36,652
- Was it that funny?

914
00:57:36,654 --> 00:57:39,188
- You know what, in case
you haven't noticed,

915
00:57:39,190 --> 00:57:41,223
the air is so thick in here
you can cut it with a knife.

916
00:57:41,225 --> 00:57:43,492
(speaking Spanish)

917
00:57:43,494 --> 00:57:45,594
Is it just me or are you
always this pissed off?

918
00:57:45,596 --> 00:57:47,229
- Just because I
don't smile or laugh

919
00:57:47,231 --> 00:57:48,997
doesn't mean I'm pissed off.

920
00:57:48,999 --> 00:57:50,599
- I didn't even come here to
eat.

921
00:57:50,601 --> 00:57:52,768
- Then why did you come?
- To hang with Juan.

922
00:57:54,672 --> 00:57:57,639
Your rules remember.

923
00:57:57,641 --> 00:57:59,208
Manny...

924
00:58:05,583 --> 00:58:07,783
- [Diana] Let's just
clean up, Grandma.

925
00:58:07,785 --> 00:58:10,752
- Let's clean up.
Come on, baby.

926
00:58:15,025 --> 00:58:17,059
- Can't you get over
yourself for one second

927
00:58:17,061 --> 00:58:18,560
and see what I'm trying to do.

928
00:58:18,562 --> 00:58:19,595
- You know what, go back inside.

929
00:58:19,597 --> 00:58:21,697
- No.
We need to talk.

930
00:58:23,100 --> 00:58:25,634
- Then you better
stop disrespecting me.

931
00:58:26,904 --> 00:58:30,038
- You can't solve the world's
problems with your fist.

932
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,107
- Can't you see I want
what's best for him.

933
00:58:32,109 --> 00:58:34,643
I can teach him things.

934
00:58:34,645 --> 00:58:37,079
- About what.
- About laughing, for one.

935
00:58:37,081 --> 00:58:38,981
- Life's a big joke, huh?

936
00:58:40,117 --> 00:58:43,685
The bottom line is Juan's
grades are suffering.

937
00:58:43,687 --> 00:58:45,854
- And that's my fault?
- Yes it is.

938
00:58:45,856 --> 00:58:47,623
Listen to me.

939
00:58:47,625 --> 00:58:50,659
- No, you think I want
him to be like me?

940
00:58:50,661 --> 00:58:53,929
I wouldn't wish
my life on anyone.

941
00:58:53,931 --> 00:58:56,131
But I didn't have a choice.
- Bullshit.

942
00:58:56,133 --> 00:58:58,534
We all have choices.

943
00:58:58,536 --> 00:59:00,068
- That's easy for you to say.

944
00:59:00,070 --> 00:59:02,037
You're smart, you're beautiful.

945
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:05,107
- You're smart too.
- Not in books.

946
00:59:05,109 --> 00:59:07,209
- You can't keep
making excuses, tio.

947
00:59:07,211 --> 00:59:10,012
- I'm not.
- Yes you are.

948
00:59:10,014 --> 00:59:13,582
You always are.
- You can't ask for respect.

949
00:59:13,584 --> 00:59:15,217
You have to earn it.

950
00:59:15,219 --> 00:59:17,986
In your world,
you can use your brains.

951
00:59:17,988 --> 00:59:20,989
Here you need your fists.

952
00:59:20,991 --> 00:59:23,325
- Is that the world
you want for Juan?

953
00:59:23,327 --> 00:59:25,093
- Look around, I
didn't ask for this.

954
00:59:25,095 --> 00:59:28,330
- Precisely my point, if we
don't change it then who will?

955
00:59:29,900 --> 00:59:32,301
- What do you want from me?

956
00:59:32,302 --> 00:59:34,703
- Juan needs to see that there's
other ways besides violence.

957
00:59:34,705 --> 00:59:36,138
- You know what, you're a woman.

958
00:59:36,140 --> 00:59:38,807
You don't understand what
it means to be a man.

959
00:59:38,809 --> 00:59:40,876
We're competitive, we compete.

960
00:59:40,878 --> 00:59:43,779
Whether it's with
money or fists.

961
00:59:43,781 --> 00:59:47,616
It's gonna be a long time
before we can compete

962
00:59:47,618 --> 00:59:49,151
in a white man's money world.

963
00:59:49,153 --> 00:59:51,820
- And so you cop out
for the quick route?

964
00:59:51,822 --> 00:59:54,690
Put your fist in the
white man's mouth

965
00:59:54,692 --> 00:59:56,158
for your precious respect.

966
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,161
Is that worth the price?
Jail.

967
00:59:59,163 --> 01:00:02,130
- A coward dies
a thousand deaths.

968
01:00:02,132 --> 01:00:05,834
Ask Veritas,
we had two ways out.

969
01:00:05,836 --> 01:00:08,971
You could either be
a cop or a criminal.

970
01:00:08,973 --> 01:00:12,741
And believe me, my way was hard.

971
01:00:16,380 --> 01:00:20,782
Don't worry Mijita, I'm gone.

972
01:00:20,784 --> 01:00:22,951
(dramatic music)

973
01:00:57,688 --> 01:01:01,023
- [Manny] On my street,
when you turn the other cheek

974
01:01:01,025 --> 01:01:05,927
all you got was
a matching black eye.

975
01:01:07,231 --> 01:01:10,666
Violence was everywhere
in my barrio.

976
01:01:10,668 --> 01:01:13,402
And when I got home
and turned on the TV,

977
01:01:13,404 --> 01:01:16,104
it was more of the same.

978
01:01:18,175 --> 01:01:20,409
Get your ass kicked enough,

979
01:01:20,411 --> 01:01:23,145
you do whatever you have to,
to make it stop.

980
01:01:26,850 --> 01:01:29,051
But it isn't until you join,

981
01:01:29,053 --> 01:01:32,954
you learn your choice affects
all those around you.

982
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,028
Losing those you love,
hurts a thousand times more

983
01:01:40,030 --> 01:01:42,030
than any ass whipping.

984
01:01:42,032 --> 01:01:45,200
And you'll sacrifice
anything to make it right.

985
01:01:48,372 --> 01:01:50,005
- Hey!

986
01:01:56,980 --> 01:01:59,347
Come on back, putos.

987
01:01:59,349 --> 01:02:01,450
(coughing)

988
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:07,055
- Hey, wasn't that
Norman and Jose?

989
01:02:07,057 --> 01:02:09,124
I thought they
were your partners.

990
01:02:10,994 --> 01:02:12,961
Hey, if this fight's
about coochie,

991
01:02:12,963 --> 01:02:15,764
there's plenty
to go around homes.

992
01:02:15,766 --> 01:02:18,834
Come on look at me
when I talk to you.

993
01:02:18,836 --> 01:02:20,736
- They say you a rat,

994
01:02:20,738 --> 01:02:23,238
they say you dropped a dime
on the homie.

995
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,240
No way right?

996
01:02:25,242 --> 01:02:27,442
- It all depends
on who you asking.

997
01:02:27,444 --> 01:02:30,212
From where I standing,
all I did was tell

998
01:02:30,214 --> 01:02:34,082
a couple of Hollywood producers,
about my life.

999
01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:37,119
And not so much for the coin,

1000
01:02:37,121 --> 01:02:39,020
but to let people know
how shit happens.

1001
01:02:39,022 --> 01:02:41,123
- The stuff in the movie true?

1002
01:02:42,059 --> 01:02:45,861
Shot callers in the joint,
they think I sold out.

1003
01:02:45,863 --> 01:02:48,764
They say I let the man
know about our operation.

1004
01:02:48,766 --> 01:02:51,900
I didn't mention no names,
give no details.

1005
01:02:51,902 --> 01:02:55,837
They think I broke the rules.

1006
01:02:55,839 --> 01:02:58,473
But see they make the rules
to suit themselves.

1007
01:02:58,475 --> 01:03:00,776
Just like it is out here.

1008
01:03:00,778 --> 01:03:03,779
Whoever's in charge,
makes the rules.

1009
01:03:03,781 --> 01:03:06,114
- What's gonna happen?

1010
01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:08,416
- To me shit, nothing.

1011
01:03:10,020 --> 01:03:13,922
Anything they throw
at your tio, I can handle.

1012
01:03:15,425 --> 01:03:17,492
You did this for me huh?

1013
01:03:19,463 --> 01:03:21,296
You know what I'm
proud of you today

1014
01:03:21,298 --> 01:03:23,498
but I still don't want
you to be like me.

1015
01:03:23,500 --> 01:03:26,535
You got to make a better
life for yourself.

1016
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:31,339
(laughing)

1017
01:03:31,341 --> 01:03:33,441
You know what,
I'm a' owe you a shirt.

1018
01:03:33,443 --> 01:03:37,112
Oh man, Juanillo.

1019
01:03:38,148 --> 01:03:40,816
Now they own
a piece of you, homes.

1020
01:03:43,487 --> 01:03:45,821
(dramatic music)

1021
01:03:53,030 --> 01:03:56,231
- [Manny] We are all hungry
for a life we can't afford.

1022
01:03:57,334 --> 01:03:59,434
It's a line from a song,

1023
01:04:01,104 --> 01:04:03,305
but it has nothing
to do with money

1024
01:04:03,307 --> 01:04:05,240
or whether you're rich or poor.

1025
01:04:09,546 --> 01:04:12,113
- [Alan] Yo, brother.
- 'Sup, man. How's it going?

1026
01:04:12,115 --> 01:04:14,082
- You're looking at a man
that's been in the desert

1027
01:04:14,084 --> 01:04:15,817
a long time looking
for a drink of water.

1028
01:04:15,818 --> 01:04:17,551
- Man I'm telling you,
it's good to see you again.

1029
01:04:17,554 --> 01:04:20,055
- Is this the bomb?
- It's even better.

1030
01:04:20,057 --> 01:04:22,157
- Cool man, I'm going
to be hitting you up often

1031
01:04:22,159 --> 01:04:24,426
so be ready, buddy.

1032
01:04:28,599 --> 01:04:32,434
- [Manny] Just watch TV,
life is so exciting.

1033
01:04:35,005 --> 01:04:37,372
Life is like Disneyland,

1034
01:04:37,374 --> 01:04:39,908
until you turn your TV off.

1035
01:04:40,878 --> 01:04:42,344
- Pop the trunk.

1036
01:04:46,984 --> 01:04:48,583
Get out of the car!

1037
01:04:55,259 --> 01:04:58,927
Here, mail this over there.
- That's a pretty nice jacket.

1038
01:04:58,929 --> 01:05:00,929
- Shut up! Mail this
over there.

1039
01:05:15,379 --> 01:05:18,146
(car beeping)

1040
01:05:18,148 --> 01:05:21,049
♪ The life chose me

1041
01:05:21,051 --> 01:05:22,284
♪ No cameras ♪

1042
01:05:22,286 --> 01:05:25,287

(alarm blaring)

1043
01:05:31,128 --> 01:05:33,461
- Let's go! Burn up!

1044
01:05:33,463 --> 01:05:35,130
Get the fuck out!
Come on!

1045
01:05:35,132 --> 01:05:37,165
(tires screeching)

1046
01:05:48,312 --> 01:05:51,413
- [Alan] If Manny could
testify, I could get him off.

1047
01:05:51,415 --> 01:05:53,348
- I don't understand,
Manny's dead.

1048
01:05:53,350 --> 01:05:56,685
- No prior knowledge,
means no conspiracy

1049
01:05:56,687 --> 01:05:58,586
in the commission
of the robbery.

1050
01:05:58,588 --> 01:06:01,323
- I don't get it.

1051
01:06:01,325 --> 01:06:03,224
- People versus Michelle Jordan.

1052
01:06:03,226 --> 01:06:05,093
Now Michelle,
she's driving her boyfriend

1053
01:06:05,095 --> 01:06:07,062
and a couple of
his friends around.

1054
01:06:07,064 --> 01:06:08,997
The boy friend tells
her that they're hungry.

1055
01:06:08,999 --> 01:06:10,598
Why don't you pull up
to this local restaurant,

1056
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,284
we're going to get
something to eat.

1057
01:06:12,285 --> 01:06:13,969
Keep the car running,
we're going to get it to go.

1058
01:06:13,971 --> 01:06:16,404
Well they go in,
they proceed to rob the place.

1059
01:06:16,406 --> 01:06:18,239
They come running out
and they dive in the car.

1060
01:06:18,241 --> 01:06:20,308
The boyfriend tells
her to punch it.

1061
01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:24,646
He's the person in authority,
physically dominant

1062
01:06:24,648 --> 01:06:27,215
so she listens.

1063
01:06:27,217 --> 01:06:29,551
- You think that was
a part of Manny's plan?

1064
01:06:31,455 --> 01:06:33,521
- I do know that
Manny's gang the Muertos

1065
01:06:33,523 --> 01:06:35,023
had it our for him.

1066
01:06:35,025 --> 01:06:36,658
Manny's just a decoy
and drawing the heat

1067
01:06:36,660 --> 01:06:39,094
so his partner can sneak
out the back with the cash.

1068
01:06:39,096 --> 01:06:41,629
- But why would he put
Juan in that situation?

1069
01:06:41,631 --> 01:06:44,232
- Manny was a loose cannon.

1070
01:06:44,234 --> 01:06:47,602
Didn't think he'd make it
to 30, let alone 40 or 50.

1071
01:06:47,604 --> 01:06:49,637
How do you control that?

1072
01:06:49,639 --> 01:06:52,574
You go after what he
loves more than himself.

1073
01:06:52,576 --> 01:06:54,376
It's no secret.

1074
01:06:54,378 --> 01:06:57,112
That's how the lifers in the
joint control the streets.

1075
01:06:57,114 --> 01:07:00,115
- Sergeant Veritas,
he knows all about the Muertos.

1076
01:07:00,117 --> 01:07:02,717
When he was just a kid, he lived

1077
01:07:02,719 --> 01:07:04,486
right across the street
from Manny.

1078
01:07:04,488 --> 01:07:07,322
I think Manny even dated
his mom or something.

1079
01:07:09,626 --> 01:07:12,327
(Sighs)
- I should have known.

1080
01:07:12,329 --> 01:07:15,563
They're from the
same neighborhood.

1081
01:07:15,565 --> 01:07:18,099
Look this could be good news.

1082
01:07:22,139 --> 01:07:23,772
I got to get going,

1083
01:07:23,774 --> 01:07:25,573
why don't I walk you
to your car?

1084
01:07:25,575 --> 01:07:27,742
- Thanks for coming
out here to meet me.

1085
01:07:27,744 --> 01:07:29,511
Like I said, not a problem.

1086
01:07:29,513 --> 01:07:32,380
I was in the neighborhood
to meet another client anyway.

1087
01:07:32,382 --> 01:07:35,083
(dramatic music)

1088
01:08:09,186 --> 01:08:11,453
(snorting loudly)

1089
01:08:45,622 --> 01:08:47,822
- Al, we're approaching
the gates of Heaven.

1090
01:08:47,824 --> 01:08:50,291
I need a yes or a no
because our offer

1091
01:08:50,293 --> 01:08:52,393
is withdrawn at the door.

1092
01:08:52,395 --> 01:08:54,429
- For my client, your offer is

1093
01:08:54,431 --> 01:08:56,364
a highway to hell,
devoid of compassion.

1094
01:08:56,366 --> 01:08:59,267
- Compassion, it would be
mercy for it's own sake

1095
01:08:59,269 --> 01:09:00,835
to reduce this offer
because the facts

1096
01:09:00,837 --> 01:09:02,737
are gonna wipe your boy out.

1097
01:09:02,739 --> 01:09:04,672
Al, you know
I don't want to do that.

1098
01:09:04,674 --> 01:09:07,442
- What's the difference
between five and 10 years.

1099
01:09:07,444 --> 01:09:09,711
In six months he'll
no longer be a boy

1100
01:09:09,713 --> 01:09:11,846
but the product of
society's ignorance.

1101
01:09:11,848 --> 01:09:14,215
- I've always admired
your idealism,

1102
01:09:14,217 --> 01:09:16,885
but your vision is myopic
or at least clouded

1103
01:09:16,887 --> 01:09:19,387
by your desire to help this kid.

1104
01:09:19,389 --> 01:09:20,922
Al, this case is solid as stone.

1105
01:09:20,924 --> 01:09:23,625
- You know as well as I do,
if we strike the motion

1106
01:09:23,627 --> 01:09:26,694
to compel gang evidence,
your solid-stone case

1107
01:09:26,696 --> 01:09:29,664
will sink into the
swamp it was built on.

1108
01:09:29,666 --> 01:09:32,567
- I know you hate when
I speak like a telegram reads,

1109
01:09:32,569 --> 01:09:35,403
but, A, your client was
at the wheel speeding

1110
01:09:35,405 --> 01:09:38,273
from the scene with his uncle
who is clearly identified

1111
01:09:38,275 --> 01:09:41,176
brandishing his AK in
the bank only moments prior.

1112
01:09:41,178 --> 01:09:44,746
B, dead uncle, co-conspirator,
the only person

1113
01:09:44,748 --> 01:09:47,282
who can corroborate your
client's story is long time

1114
01:09:47,284 --> 01:09:49,084
ortho shot caller.

1115
01:09:49,085 --> 01:09:50,885
C, clients claim of ignorance
lacks credibility

1116
01:09:50,887 --> 01:09:53,288
due to uncle's strapping
up with numerous fire arms

1117
01:09:53,290 --> 01:09:55,356
while still in
client's presence.

1118
01:09:55,358 --> 01:09:57,825
D, client's motive,
likely financial opportunity

1119
01:09:57,827 --> 01:10:00,295
at that crime scene is
a payroll depository

1120
01:10:00,297 --> 01:10:02,177
on that last day of every month.

1121
01:10:03,266 --> 01:10:07,669
- You got a future as
a computer generated

1122
01:10:07,671 --> 01:10:10,105
automated customer service recorder
if you decide to go that way.

1123
01:10:10,106 --> 01:10:12,540
A, the prelim generated
more questions than answers.

1124
01:10:12,542 --> 01:10:15,977
B, the second perp is still
at large with all the cash.

1125
01:10:15,979 --> 01:10:19,447
C, your IO is just
mailing this one in.

1126
01:10:19,449 --> 01:10:22,917
And D, you are scared
shitless I'll pull a rabbit

1127
01:10:22,919 --> 01:10:24,886
out of my house and put you
in the DA doghouse

1128
01:10:24,888 --> 01:10:27,522
when you choke on your
open and shut case.

1129
01:10:27,524 --> 01:10:29,624
(laughing)

1130
01:10:37,434 --> 01:10:39,634
- We could have a problem.

1131
01:10:39,636 --> 01:10:41,803
It would be helpful if
Veritas were present.

1132
01:10:41,805 --> 01:10:43,738
- Judge Morris is scheduled
to be back in court

1133
01:10:43,740 --> 01:10:45,306
in about 10 minutes.

1134
01:10:45,308 --> 01:10:47,388
- Do you really want
that post in Malibu?

1135
01:10:57,354 --> 01:10:59,520
- Good afternoon everyone.

1136
01:11:00,824 --> 01:11:03,725
Defense council I believe
now moves to suppress

1137
01:11:03,727 --> 01:11:06,594
evidence of the defendants
gang affiliation

1138
01:11:06,596 --> 01:11:08,596
from the people's case in chief.

1139
01:11:08,598 --> 01:11:12,433
My tentative is to allow the
jury to hear said evidence.

1140
01:11:12,435 --> 01:11:17,338
Code 402 requires this
court to articulate

1141
01:11:17,340 --> 01:11:19,607
the basis for it's ruling.

1142
01:11:19,609 --> 01:11:23,645
For the record,
Sergeant Veritas' unrebutted

1143
01:11:23,647 --> 01:11:27,649
testimony at the prelim
provides sufficient basis

1144
01:11:27,651 --> 01:11:29,884
to allow said
evidence to be heard.

1145
01:11:32,455 --> 01:11:34,439
People?

1146
01:11:34,440 --> 01:11:36,424
- Your Honor, the people wish
to reiterate the severity

1147
01:11:36,426 --> 01:11:40,328
of the felony charges
levied against Mr. Garcia,

1148
01:11:40,330 --> 01:11:43,931
in congruence to the $4 million
payroll still unrecovered.

1149
01:11:43,933 --> 01:11:46,434
We also wish the court
to take into consideration,

1150
01:11:46,436 --> 01:11:48,536
Mr. Garcia's reluctance

1151
01:11:48,538 --> 01:11:50,872
to facilitate
any information toward

1152
01:11:50,874 --> 01:11:54,342
the apprehension of the second
perpetrator in the robbery.

1153
01:11:54,344 --> 01:11:57,478
We cite Sergeant
Veritas' testimony

1154
01:11:57,480 --> 01:12:00,381
as to the code of silence
instituted in the gang

1155
01:12:00,383 --> 01:12:04,052
initiation rituals practiced
by the Fifth Street Muertos.

1156
01:12:04,054 --> 01:12:06,087
- Is there anything else?

1157
01:12:07,657 --> 01:12:10,458
- Where is Veritas?
- I don't know.

1158
01:12:10,460 --> 01:12:12,560
- I've asked you four times.

1159
01:12:12,562 --> 01:12:14,629
This is your job to deliver.

1160
01:12:15,598 --> 01:12:17,932
(police radio chatter)

1161
01:12:24,374 --> 01:12:26,507
- Submit, Your Honor.

1162
01:12:26,509 --> 01:12:30,111
- Mr. Hartford, I imagine
you'd like to be heard.

1163
01:12:30,113 --> 01:12:32,914
- I do Your Honor.

1164
01:12:32,916 --> 01:12:35,583
To start I'd like to complement
the voice of the people

1165
01:12:35,585 --> 01:12:38,820
for his eloquent reiteration
of said speculative evidence.

1166
01:12:38,822 --> 01:12:41,122
I know I can't, nor would
I dare speak for His Honor,

1167
01:12:41,124 --> 01:12:42,990
but I now feel newly refreshed.

1168
01:12:42,992 --> 01:12:45,059
And to dare again
feel justified of said

1169
01:12:45,061 --> 01:12:47,462
speculative evidence,
should ever,

1170
01:12:47,464 --> 01:12:49,430
if they were to begin with
be taking for granted.

1171
01:12:49,432 --> 01:12:50,898
- Proceed.

1172
01:12:50,900 --> 01:12:53,034
- Your Honor, I'll hang
my hat on the P test.

1173
01:12:53,036 --> 01:12:56,904
Will gang evidence be more
prejudicial than probative?

1174
01:12:56,906 --> 01:13:00,508
If the jury hears gang once,
it will echo throughout

1175
01:13:00,510 --> 01:13:03,111
this trial at the expense of
any other relevant evidence.

1176
01:13:03,113 --> 01:13:06,481
Very prejudicial,
yet not remotely probative

1177
01:13:06,483 --> 01:13:08,383
of his guilt or innocence.

1178
01:13:08,385 --> 01:13:11,486
They're hear gang,
they'll see Hispanic,

1179
01:13:11,488 --> 01:13:13,755
he'll be guilty until
proven innocent.

1180
01:13:13,757 --> 01:13:15,957
- Well counsel I imagine
your defense will be

1181
01:13:15,959 --> 01:13:18,626
wrong place, wrong time.

1182
01:13:19,662 --> 01:13:22,463
Your client was fleeing
the scene of a bank robbery

1183
01:13:22,465 --> 01:13:24,632
with a convicted
felon gang leader.

1184
01:13:24,634 --> 01:13:28,536
But that seems probative
of guilt or innocence to me.

1185
01:13:28,538 --> 01:13:33,641
- Your Honor, our neighborhoods,
our experiences, shape us.

1186
01:13:33,643 --> 01:13:35,777
Juan thought his Uncle
Manny had been caught

1187
01:13:35,779 --> 01:13:37,678
in the bank parking
lot by some rivals

1188
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,514
from the old days
and so he punched it.

1189
01:13:39,516 --> 01:13:42,517
- Counsel, the court's
rationality would be to concur

1190
01:13:42,519 --> 01:13:45,653
with the gang expert's
conclusion that the boy

1191
01:13:45,655 --> 01:13:48,756
grew up without a father
figure in his life

1192
01:13:48,758 --> 01:13:52,427
and looked up to his
uncle in blind faith.

1193
01:13:52,429 --> 01:13:55,863
- Your Honor, Sergeant
Veritas, can also opine

1194
01:13:55,865 --> 01:13:58,166
to great extent about
the fact that Manny

1195
01:13:58,168 --> 01:14:00,902
had actually distanced
himself from the Muertos

1196
01:14:00,904 --> 01:14:03,738
to pursue an acting career
since his release from Cochran.

1197
01:14:03,740 --> 01:14:06,707
He was a respected actor
in the Hollywood community.

1198
01:14:06,709 --> 01:14:08,976
Everybody in the neighborhood
knew it,

1199
01:14:08,978 --> 01:14:10,945
he was successful,
why would he steer his nephew

1200
01:14:10,947 --> 01:14:12,947
toward something he was
trying to get away from?

1201
01:14:12,949 --> 01:14:17,051
- (chuckling) Your client was steering
the get away car after a robbery.

1202
01:14:17,053 --> 01:14:21,022
Now if you have evidence
of this change of heart,

1203
01:14:21,024 --> 01:14:23,191
then you'll be able to bring it

1204
01:14:23,193 --> 01:14:25,626
to the attention of
the jury all you like.

1205
01:14:25,628 --> 01:14:28,029
- Your honor, that's
what I intend to do.

1206
01:14:28,031 --> 01:14:30,998
However, if the jury is
allowed to be pigeon holed

1207
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:32,934
into the narrow minded
perspective that our

1208
01:14:32,936 --> 01:14:34,969
media describes
of the gang life,

1209
01:14:34,971 --> 01:14:37,538
my client will be
seen as a gun slinging

1210
01:14:37,540 --> 01:14:39,640
character in a movie script,
rather than

1211
01:14:39,642 --> 01:14:41,709
the confused
teenager that he is.

1212
01:14:41,711 --> 01:14:45,246
- Counsel, your client
has a single tattoo

1213
01:14:45,248 --> 01:14:48,883
that aligns him with
the same gang that his uncle

1214
01:14:48,885 --> 01:14:51,018
was not only
participating in, but led.

1215
01:14:51,020 --> 01:14:53,488
- That tattoo was
only one-day old

1216
01:14:53,490 --> 01:14:54,755
when this robbery occurred.

1217
01:14:54,757 --> 01:14:56,624
Besides Juan only had
the base gravestone

1218
01:14:56,626 --> 01:14:59,026
of the tattoo without
the Muerto insignia.

1219
01:14:59,028 --> 01:15:01,729
And without the insignia,
a perspective initiate

1220
01:15:01,731 --> 01:15:04,632
cannot earn any stripes,
i.e., the rising ghosts.

1221
01:15:04,634 --> 01:15:08,169
- Sergeant Veritas testified
that wannabe gang members

1222
01:15:08,171 --> 01:15:12,006
commit serious crimes in
order to create gang status.

1223
01:15:12,008 --> 01:15:14,909
- Sergeant Veritas can
also testify to the fact

1224
01:15:14,911 --> 01:15:18,246
that without being jumped
in and without the insignia

1225
01:15:18,248 --> 01:15:21,182
one cannot participate
in any high-level crimes.

1226
01:15:21,184 --> 01:15:24,785
- We have FI cards that
state that your client

1227
01:15:24,787 --> 01:15:27,688
was affiliated
with the same gang.

1228
01:15:27,690 --> 01:15:29,790
- Your Honor what would
happen if say a pre-teen kid,

1229
01:15:29,792 --> 01:15:33,060
11 or 12 years old
were to deny allegiance

1230
01:15:33,062 --> 01:15:35,563
to the Muertos in
front of his friends

1231
01:15:35,565 --> 01:15:36,864
from the same neighborhood.

1232
01:15:36,866 --> 01:15:38,900
The code of this neighborhood
is not based upon

1233
01:15:38,902 --> 01:15:41,269
the honor of the intellect
but that of the bicep.

1234
01:15:41,271 --> 01:15:44,005
Your Honor in our world,
power is intellectual,

1235
01:15:44,007 --> 01:15:47,608
financial strength.
In theirs, it's physical.

1236
01:15:47,610 --> 01:15:50,678
- Your precepts are more
sociologic than legal.

1237
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:55,082
However, I disagree in regards
to your assumptions that

1238
01:15:55,084 --> 01:16:00,555
financial desire preclude
those of less financial means.

1239
01:16:00,557 --> 01:16:02,957
- A big distinction
between financial desires

1240
01:16:02,959 --> 01:16:05,119
and outright robbery of
a bank don't you think?

1241
01:16:07,263 --> 01:16:08,930
- Mr. Hartford,
let me reiterate,

1242
01:16:08,932 --> 01:16:12,733
Sergeant Veritas' testimony
with regard to bank robbery

1243
01:16:12,735 --> 01:16:16,270
being an off used method of
financing gang activities.

1244
01:16:16,272 --> 01:16:18,739
- If easy money is
exclusively a gang objective,

1245
01:16:18,741 --> 01:16:20,975
there's a pack of
optimistic gorgeous girls

1246
01:16:20,977 --> 01:16:22,810
wearing short skirts
and false smiles

1247
01:16:22,812 --> 01:16:25,146
over at the Polo Lounge
that Sergeant Veritas

1248
01:16:25,148 --> 01:16:28,115
and his anti-gang unit
could be rousting right now.

1249
01:16:29,352 --> 01:16:35,156
- Mr. Hartford, defense
motion to suppress is denied.

1250
01:16:39,295 --> 01:16:42,263
We are not here
for the philosophical debate

1251
01:16:42,265 --> 01:16:44,365
of the nature of
human perception.

1252
01:16:44,367 --> 01:16:47,234
- Sure we are.
Prejudice is a perception.

1253
01:16:47,236 --> 01:16:50,004
Put a blue bandana on
a black man in Compton

1254
01:16:50,006 --> 01:16:51,973
and he's a Crip.
Red a Blood.

1255
01:16:51,974 --> 01:16:53,941
- [Jude] Council.
- Put a turban on an Arab and he's a terrorist.

1256
01:16:53,943 --> 01:16:55,343
- Council.

1257
01:16:56,879 --> 01:16:59,380
The defensive motion
to suppress is denied.

1258
01:17:01,284 --> 01:17:03,284
I've made my ruling.

1259
01:17:04,220 --> 01:17:08,756
Now if the jury decides
that this young man

1260
01:17:08,758 --> 01:17:11,192
made his bed, it is only
fair that he be made

1261
01:17:14,030 --> 01:17:15,950
to lie in it
for a good long time.

1262
01:17:16,399 --> 01:17:18,366
If not, then he'll walk.

1263
01:17:20,303 --> 01:17:23,371
Now that's the system.

1264
01:17:35,752 --> 01:17:37,952
- They don't care
if I did it or not.

1265
01:17:37,954 --> 01:17:40,254
They can't find
the guy that did it.

1266
01:17:40,256 --> 01:17:42,690
They're gonna fry me.

1267
01:17:42,692 --> 01:17:44,992
- It's not that simple, Juan.
- It is that simple.

1268
01:17:44,994 --> 01:17:48,863
Manny was right, these gringos
make up the rules as they go.

1269
01:17:48,865 --> 01:17:51,165
- Gringos?
- Yeah Gringos.

1270
01:17:51,167 --> 01:17:53,200
They're afraid of us,
they gotta keep us down.

1271
01:17:53,202 --> 01:17:55,670
- The system drops a
hammer on us night and day

1272
01:17:55,672 --> 01:17:58,339
and everyone of you joked
up muscle head vatos

1273
01:17:58,341 --> 01:18:00,975
are preparing to endure
it rather than beat it.

1274
01:18:00,977 --> 01:18:05,413
Be a bad ass, for what,
to call the shots in the joint?

1275
01:18:05,415 --> 01:18:10,384
Man, if Manny developed his
mind along with his body,

1276
01:18:10,386 --> 01:18:13,020
maybe he could
have avoided jail.

1277
01:18:13,022 --> 01:18:14,822
Proved to us that it
could have been done.

1278
01:18:14,824 --> 01:18:18,159
- Oh yeah, then what your
college degree get you.

1279
01:18:18,161 --> 01:18:20,327
Working 24/7 for shit.

1280
01:18:20,329 --> 01:18:22,329
You're going to wait your
whole life waiting for

1281
01:18:22,331 --> 01:18:24,065
those Gringos to see you
as an equal.

1282
01:18:24,067 --> 01:18:26,033
The only way they want
to see you

1283
01:18:26,035 --> 01:18:27,902
is you bending over
the water cooler.

1284
01:18:27,904 --> 01:18:30,037
I don't understand
you, defending them

1285
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:31,972
especially that white dude,
that get you pregnant.

1286
01:18:31,974 --> 01:18:33,874
A real man huh?

1287
01:18:35,378 --> 01:18:37,411
- Are you through?

1288
01:18:37,413 --> 01:18:40,414
- You don't know the rules
of their skyscraper world.

1289
01:18:40,416 --> 01:18:43,017
So you gotta fake it, at least
I know the rules of mi barrio.

1290
01:18:43,019 --> 01:18:45,252
- Oh you know them all huh?

1291
01:18:45,254 --> 01:18:47,755
Say you get convicted
of this bullshit?

1292
01:18:47,757 --> 01:18:50,191
Certified badass right?

1293
01:18:50,193 --> 01:18:51,892
- Damn straight.

1294
01:18:53,830 --> 01:18:56,397
- First week out some punk
challenges your rep, what now?

1295
01:18:58,768 --> 01:19:01,435
- Easy fuck that nigga up
for everyone to see.

1296
01:19:01,437 --> 01:19:03,037
The rules of the street.

1297
01:19:03,039 --> 01:19:08,142
- They'll rat on you.
You know they will.

1298
01:19:08,144 --> 01:19:10,878
Aggravated assault, battery,

1299
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:14,115
second strike
for Mr. Badass.

1300
01:19:15,418 --> 01:19:19,820
Double the base sentence,
eight years, state prison.

1301
01:19:19,822 --> 01:19:20,955
Doubled equals 16, Juan.

1302
01:19:22,358 --> 01:19:24,792
You serve a mandatory 85%

1303
01:19:24,794 --> 01:19:26,927
even if you shine
the warden's shoes.

1304
01:19:28,831 --> 01:19:33,400
California penal code punishes
the rules of the street.

1305
01:19:35,004 --> 01:19:38,939
If you ever get out...
ever,

1306
01:19:38,941 --> 01:19:41,175
you best not spit
on the sidewalk

1307
01:19:41,177 --> 01:19:43,177
or pop a beer can on the corner.

1308
01:19:43,179 --> 01:19:46,280
Otherwise, strike three...

1309
01:19:46,282 --> 01:19:48,382
you're out.

1310
01:19:48,384 --> 01:19:50,351
Life.
(thud)

1311
01:19:52,088 --> 01:19:54,488
(dramatic music)

1312
01:20:00,163 --> 01:20:04,265
- [Manny] On the street,
man to man,

1313
01:20:04,267 --> 01:20:06,867
you can talk all you want.

1314
01:20:06,869 --> 01:20:09,270
It doesn't matter what you say,

1315
01:20:09,272 --> 01:20:12,206
it's what you do.

1316
01:20:13,576 --> 01:20:16,076
But in the skyscraper world,

1317
01:20:16,078 --> 01:20:17,511
you have to deal with structure,

1318
01:20:17,513 --> 01:20:21,248
organization, made up of ideas.

1319
01:20:21,250 --> 01:20:24,418
Ideas are built on words.

1320
01:20:24,420 --> 01:20:26,453
So what you say you did,

1321
01:20:26,455 --> 01:20:29,323
becomes as important
as what you did.

1322
01:20:40,970 --> 01:20:44,371
- Getting that check by
the middle of next week,

1323
01:20:44,373 --> 01:20:48,442
so I'll have Ducketts discover
the rest of the back rent.

1324
01:20:52,515 --> 01:20:54,381
- I'm gonna need
somebody competent

1325
01:20:54,383 --> 01:20:56,617
to make a few more appearances.

1326
01:20:59,622 --> 01:21:02,089
I can always call
the lackey but I'd rather send

1327
01:21:02,091 --> 01:21:04,251
someone that knows what
the hell they're doing.

1328
01:21:06,963 --> 01:21:09,964
You still working out
of the back of your car?

1329
01:21:09,966 --> 01:21:14,001
- For the record, business
materials occupy the front seat.

1330
01:21:14,003 --> 01:21:15,970
My pillow, blanket,
and girly mags are back.

1331
01:21:15,972 --> 01:21:17,605
(laughing)

1332
01:21:19,942 --> 01:21:23,210
Is that what you think?
- You know what I think.

1333
01:21:23,212 --> 01:21:25,546
I think you're
an underrated talent.

1334
01:21:33,122 --> 01:21:37,057
(liquid sloshing)

1335
01:22:02,018 --> 01:22:05,085
- To personal injury...

1336
01:22:05,087 --> 01:22:06,387
I mean civil rights.

1337
01:22:06,389 --> 01:22:08,222
(laughing)

1338
01:22:11,994 --> 01:22:15,162
- And to criminal law,
for which we both know

1339
01:22:15,164 --> 01:22:16,931
there's no money in

1340
01:22:16,933 --> 01:22:19,099
unless you represent
a successful criminal.

1341
01:22:19,101 --> 01:22:21,635
- If they're successful,
they don't need a lawyer.

1342
01:22:21,637 --> 01:22:23,170
- That's right.

1343
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:35,649
- You know,
for well over 20 years

1344
01:22:35,651 --> 01:22:38,252
I've been representing
primarily Latinos.

1345
01:22:38,254 --> 01:22:42,289
You'd think by know
I should know 'em.

1346
01:22:42,291 --> 01:22:44,525
They'd just as soon
cut off their arm,

1347
01:22:44,527 --> 01:22:46,427
than sacrifice their pride.

1348
01:22:48,331 --> 01:22:51,131
- Is this the gang expert
you were telling me about.

1349
01:22:51,133 --> 01:22:54,134
- Yeah, Veritas.

1350
01:22:55,071 --> 01:23:00,007
Sergeant Veritas is like
10, 11, 12 years old

1351
01:23:00,009 --> 01:23:04,478
when my client's Uncle Manny,
takes Sergeant Veritas' mom

1352
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:07,982
Eva Veritas to a
Fifth Street Muertos party.

1353
01:23:07,984 --> 01:23:11,051
Where she gets
whacked in a drive-by.

1354
01:23:13,356 --> 01:23:16,390
- Veritas, the truth.

1355
01:23:16,392 --> 01:23:18,292
- If only, his
truth was ours too.

1356
01:23:18,294 --> 01:23:19,460
I mean...

1357
01:23:24,367 --> 01:23:28,168
I respect him, I do,

1358
01:23:28,170 --> 01:23:32,406
but this kid's life
hangs in the balance

1359
01:23:32,408 --> 01:23:35,476
of just a few compassionate
words or omissions,

1360
01:23:35,478 --> 01:23:38,245
a few less expert conclusions,
anything.

1361
01:23:38,247 --> 01:23:41,348
- Al the prison are filled
with guys who are not guilty.

1362
01:23:44,387 --> 01:23:46,220
- You ever think about
all the borderline shit

1363
01:23:46,222 --> 01:23:48,555
we used to pull when
we where his age?

1364
01:23:48,557 --> 01:23:50,290
We'd be where he is
right now if we didn't

1365
01:23:50,292 --> 01:23:52,426
grow up in such a
forgiving neighborhood.

1366
01:23:52,427 --> 01:23:54,561
- It's not that easy, if it was
we could redline by zip code.

1367
01:23:54,563 --> 01:23:56,397
- In essence,
isn't that what we do?

1368
01:23:56,399 --> 01:23:58,332
I mean a loaded gun in
this neighborhood is simply

1369
01:23:58,334 --> 01:24:00,367
a mistake of youth,
but the same loaded gun

1370
01:24:00,369 --> 01:24:02,369
in this neighborhood
will get you 15 to life.

1371
01:24:02,371 --> 01:24:04,405
- Okay so the kid
gets out what happens?

1372
01:24:04,407 --> 01:24:06,440
He goes right back
to the same neighborhood.

1373
01:24:06,442 --> 01:24:09,043
Right back to the same shit.
And where are you?

1374
01:24:09,045 --> 01:24:12,112
Right back where you
started from. Wake up!

1375
01:24:25,528 --> 01:24:26,727
I'm sorry.

1376
01:24:26,729 --> 01:24:28,762
(laughing)

1377
01:24:31,834 --> 01:24:35,602
- You ever wonder why
the first thing

1378
01:24:35,604 --> 01:24:37,538
that they send you
after you pass the bar

1379
01:24:37,540 --> 01:24:41,275
is all those drug
and rehab pamphlets?

1380
01:24:41,277 --> 01:24:43,143
(laughing)

1381
01:24:53,422 --> 01:24:55,322
- Are you all right?

1382
01:24:57,526 --> 01:24:59,493
- I mean this kid.

1383
01:25:03,699 --> 01:25:05,432
(laughing and mumbling)

1384
01:25:05,434 --> 01:25:06,800
- You're not.

1385
01:25:13,175 --> 01:25:15,142
(dramatic music)

1386
01:25:22,151 --> 01:25:25,219
You're just hard on yourself.

1387
01:25:25,221 --> 01:25:27,554
You've always been.

1388
01:25:42,338 --> 01:25:44,371
Let me ask you something.

1389
01:25:45,608 --> 01:25:49,910
The pyramid, which is the
most important brick?

1390
01:25:53,282 --> 01:25:55,716
Just bear with me for a minute.

1391
01:25:55,718 --> 01:25:59,686
Which is the most important
brick on a pyramid?

1392
01:25:59,688 --> 01:26:02,523
The top or the bottom?

1393
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,360
Neither?

1394
01:26:08,197 --> 01:26:10,898
The top brick gets
all the glory,

1395
01:26:12,401 --> 01:26:14,768
but the bottom brick,
that's the structure...

1396
01:26:16,605 --> 01:26:18,839
the strength.

1397
01:26:21,310 --> 01:26:26,813
You take that away and
the pyramid collapses.

1398
01:26:30,819 --> 01:26:32,886
That's the law.

1399
01:26:45,534 --> 01:26:46,934
- [Diana] Mommy I missed you.

1400
01:26:46,936 --> 01:26:48,535
(speaking Spanish)

1401
01:26:48,537 --> 01:26:50,871
Juliana said you
would be home soon.

1402
01:26:50,873 --> 01:26:52,639
- She did gorgeous.

1403
01:26:52,641 --> 01:26:54,541
Silent Bunny wasn't so sure.

1404
01:26:54,543 --> 01:26:57,511
- Sounds like Silent Bunny
spent to much time in the Sun.

1405
01:26:59,548 --> 01:27:01,882
Let mommy change and
then we can play okay.

1406
01:27:01,884 --> 01:27:03,884
- When's Juan coming home?

1407
01:27:08,657 --> 01:27:11,725
- I want you to grow up slowly,

1408
01:27:11,727 --> 01:27:15,596
if you worry too much you'll miss
all the fun out of being a kid.

1409
01:27:15,598 --> 01:27:18,565
I only tell you grown up
things when it's necessary

1410
01:27:18,567 --> 01:27:21,368
because sometimes it's
not that much fun.

1411
01:27:21,370 --> 01:27:23,503
- Is Juan lost?

1412
01:27:24,340 --> 01:27:26,306
- No.

1413
01:27:26,308 --> 01:27:28,375
Some people who don't know
your uncle think

1414
01:27:28,377 --> 01:27:31,511
he did something wrong
but know he didn't.

1415
01:27:33,649 --> 01:27:36,416
They'll know pretty soon too.

1416
01:27:37,419 --> 01:27:40,554
- I can save him,
I can give him medicine.

1417
01:27:40,556 --> 01:27:44,358
- You could if he was sick
mijita but he's not sick.

1418
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,461
He's in trouble with
the law so we have a lawyer.

1419
01:27:47,463 --> 01:27:50,464
- Is that a law doctor?
- Yeah, you're so smart.

1420
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:55,502
- If I have the dream that
that law doctor saves him,

1421
01:27:55,504 --> 01:27:57,871
it always comes true.

1422
01:27:58,874 --> 01:28:02,342
- Let mommy change and
then I'll read you a story.

1423
01:28:02,344 --> 01:28:04,711
- I wanna go to bed now.

1424
01:28:04,713 --> 01:28:06,947
- It's only 7:30.
Are you as tired as I am?

1425
01:28:06,949 --> 01:28:09,049
- No, but I want to hurry up
and have my dream

1426
01:28:09,051 --> 01:28:10,817
so I could tell you.

1427
01:28:15,291 --> 01:28:16,690
(Speaking Spanish)

1428
01:28:22,731 --> 01:28:25,399
(sobbing)

1429
01:28:29,605 --> 01:28:32,005
(alarm blaring)

1430
01:28:32,007 --> 01:28:34,675
(tires screeching)

1431
01:28:37,379 --> 01:28:39,346
- Faster! Faster!

1432
01:28:39,348 --> 01:28:40,781
Go right.
Go right here!

1433
01:28:40,783 --> 01:28:43,083
- What happened?
What you do?

1434
01:28:43,085 --> 01:28:45,485
- Never mind just
a little further.

1435
01:28:45,487 --> 01:28:47,321
- Please, please, what happened?

1436
01:28:47,323 --> 01:28:48,922
- Trust me everything's
gonna be okay.

1437
01:28:48,924 --> 01:28:50,424
You don't know nothing.
All right?

1438
01:28:50,426 --> 01:28:51,591
Turn left.

1439
01:28:54,496 --> 01:28:56,496
- I don't know what?
I don't understand.

1440
01:28:56,498 --> 01:28:58,665
- That's the plan,
I'll do all the explaining,

1441
01:28:58,667 --> 01:29:00,400
you just tell the truth.

1442
01:29:00,402 --> 01:29:01,935
- Why, tell them what?
Why?

1443
01:29:01,937 --> 01:29:03,470
- I did it because I had to.

1444
01:29:03,472 --> 01:29:05,105
- For who?
- Just shut up.

1445
01:29:05,107 --> 01:29:06,406
I did this for you.

1446
01:29:06,408 --> 01:29:08,408
(Siren blares)

1447
01:29:09,345 --> 01:29:11,912
(hip hop music)

1448
01:29:50,452 --> 01:29:52,552
- What an interesting
young lady.

1449
01:29:53,589 --> 01:29:55,622
- You look like
you're right at home.

1450
01:29:55,624 --> 01:29:58,158
- I feel old enough
to be in a home.

1451
01:30:00,829 --> 01:30:03,096
- Speaking of arresting,
I'm guessing

1452
01:30:03,098 --> 01:30:05,899
you're not here for the show.

1453
01:30:07,770 --> 01:30:09,936
- Your neighborhood.

1454
01:30:09,938 --> 01:30:13,407
- Was, I'm trying
to keep it that way.

1455
01:30:15,644 --> 01:30:20,781
Quick to judge aren't we,
attorney Burney?

1456
01:30:20,783 --> 01:30:23,817
- Well it seems the "Ba-da-bing"
is to Tony Soprano

1457
01:30:23,819 --> 01:30:26,052
the "coochie coo"
is to Sergeant Veritas.

1458
01:30:28,123 --> 01:30:29,689
She should be proud.

1459
01:30:29,691 --> 01:30:31,725
- We're not here
to discuss my motivations.

1460
01:30:31,727 --> 01:30:37,731
Ain't I can't enlighten every
sarcastic Ivy League punk.

1461
01:30:39,501 --> 01:30:41,101
- I'm not being sarcastic.

1462
01:30:41,103 --> 01:30:44,704
'Cause I truly admire
the position you've carved out.

1463
01:30:45,874 --> 01:30:47,808
I could use some enlightenment

1464
01:30:47,810 --> 01:30:50,844
or at least
illumination from you,

1465
01:30:50,846 --> 01:30:54,648
as to what values
you employ in judging

1466
01:30:54,650 --> 01:30:57,651
what is the appropriate
behavior in your neighborhood.

1467
01:31:00,823 --> 01:31:03,056
- I like your style, counselor.

1468
01:31:03,058 --> 01:31:06,626
But you and I, we both
know that won't mean shit

1469
01:31:06,628 --> 01:31:07,828
when I up in the stand.

1470
01:31:07,830 --> 01:31:09,563
Now let's cut to the chase.

1471
01:31:09,565 --> 01:31:12,899
Fact, initiates need
to prove their salt

1472
01:31:12,901 --> 01:31:14,835
to move up in the ranks.

1473
01:31:14,837 --> 01:31:18,905
Fact, the Muertos
are the leading gang

1474
01:31:18,907 --> 01:31:20,974
when it comes to bank robberies.

1475
01:31:20,976 --> 01:31:24,945
- You know Juan, personally.

1476
01:31:27,916 --> 01:31:31,685
- I'm the gang expert,
not the character witness.

1477
01:31:31,687 --> 01:31:33,620
You wanna know
a person's character,

1478
01:31:33,622 --> 01:31:35,121
you look in their home.

1479
01:31:35,123 --> 01:31:37,858
- So one bad apple
spoils the whole bunch.

1480
01:31:37,860 --> 01:31:40,894
Angie, their mom,
they don't count?

1481
01:31:40,896 --> 01:31:42,929
- They're women.

1482
01:31:44,099 --> 01:31:45,599
- Yeah I know.

1483
01:31:47,703 --> 01:31:50,537
- Let me spell out
the facts when it comes to kids,

1484
01:31:50,539 --> 01:31:52,806
and you could talk all you want

1485
01:31:52,808 --> 01:31:56,543
but it's what they
see that counts.

1486
01:31:56,545 --> 01:31:58,044
Now they may not
know what it is,

1487
01:31:58,046 --> 01:32:00,146
but they can see
racial classism.

1488
01:32:02,718 --> 01:32:05,252
He's a boy, he wants the cars,

1489
01:32:05,254 --> 01:32:07,554
the money, the pussy.

1490
01:32:08,724 --> 01:32:10,123
- How did you make it?

1491
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:13,727
- Just lucky I guess.

1492
01:32:13,729 --> 01:32:15,595
- I disagree.

1493
01:32:15,597 --> 01:32:18,131
I'd say you're one
of the exceptional ones.

1494
01:32:18,133 --> 01:32:20,233
- I'm just your average Joe.

1495
01:32:20,235 --> 01:32:22,035
- My opinion,
in this neighborhood,

1496
01:32:22,037 --> 01:32:24,538
guys like you and Manny
are a cut above.

1497
01:32:24,540 --> 01:32:28,008
- Don't ever mention
my name and his

1498
01:32:28,010 --> 01:32:29,876
in the same sentence.

1499
01:32:31,313 --> 01:32:33,246
- You don't think you're
letting your grudge with Manny

1500
01:32:33,248 --> 01:32:35,282
cloud your vision?

1501
01:32:35,284 --> 01:32:38,204
You guys hung out, you're
from the same neighborhood.

1502
01:32:40,088 --> 01:32:42,188
Two nights before
Manny hits the bank,

1503
01:32:42,190 --> 01:32:45,191
he breaks an age-old truce and
trespasses here in your back yard.

1504
01:32:45,193 --> 01:32:47,327
You think that
was a coincidence?

1505
01:32:48,297 --> 01:32:50,664
- Fact,

1506
01:32:50,666 --> 01:32:53,600
it wasn't the first time
Manny was on the other side

1507
01:32:53,602 --> 01:32:55,569
of the teller's window
with all the money.

1508
01:32:55,571 --> 01:33:00,140
Fact, Manny has always
been about himself.

1509
01:33:00,142 --> 01:33:03,043
Fact, the Muertos
are the leading gang

1510
01:33:03,045 --> 01:33:05,145
when it comes to bank robberies.

1511
01:33:05,147 --> 01:33:06,947
Number one.

1512
01:33:07,916 --> 01:33:11,785
- Fact, you can't
just quit the Muertos.

1513
01:33:11,787 --> 01:33:14,321
Fact, Manny waits a full
two minutes in the bank

1514
01:33:14,323 --> 01:33:16,222
after the second perp
leaves with all the cash.

1515
01:33:16,224 --> 01:33:20,293
Fact, the supposed
wheel man Juan...

1516
01:33:20,295 --> 01:33:21,895
- [Manny] Come on!

1517
01:33:21,897 --> 01:33:23,129
(tires screeching)

1518
01:33:24,733 --> 01:33:26,933
- Doesn't even have
a driver's license.

1519
01:33:29,371 --> 01:33:32,839
I'm just asking you
to consider those aspects

1520
01:33:32,841 --> 01:33:35,075
of a boy's character
to make him a victim

1521
01:33:35,077 --> 01:33:36,876
of his neighborhood.

1522
01:33:36,878 --> 01:33:40,113
(hip hop music)

1523
01:33:40,115 --> 01:33:43,116
- My job is not to judge.

1524

(hip hop music)

1525
01:33:53,061 --> 01:33:55,061

01:35:29,291 --> 01:35:31,958

(horn blaring)

1554
01:35:48,777 --> 01:35:51,778

- Gate opening.

1562
01:36:50,939 --> 01:36:53,573
- [Manny] We're all equal
in the eyes of the law.

1563
01:36:56,378 --> 01:36:58,111
That's why the women who hold

1564
01:36:58,113 --> 01:37:01,047
the scales of justice
is blindfolded.

1565
01:37:04,085 --> 01:37:07,587
Not a convincing argument,
when you're talking

1566
01:37:07,589 --> 01:37:10,190
from one side
of the city to the other.

1567
01:37:12,093 --> 01:37:14,494
What would your
future look like,

1568
01:37:14,496 --> 01:37:16,429
if after your first strike,

1569
01:37:16,431 --> 01:37:20,200
they sent you to a graduate
school for criminals.

1570
01:37:20,202 --> 01:37:22,468
- All right, foo'.
- Okay.

1571
01:37:22,470 --> 01:37:25,004
(dramatic music)

1572
01:37:26,374 --> 01:37:29,576
(Speaking Spanish)

1573
01:37:32,113 --> 01:37:34,047
- (Speaking Spanish)

1574
01:37:37,586 --> 01:37:40,553
- [Manny] We assume
that the law is fair.

1575
01:37:40,555 --> 01:37:44,891
We assume that prisons
are for criminals.

1576
01:37:47,028 --> 01:37:50,363
We assume that bankers
agree, lawyers are sharks.

1577
01:37:50,365 --> 01:37:54,934
That the old guy
in the Maserati is rich,

1578
01:37:54,936 --> 01:37:57,070
or that the blond
bombshell sitting

1579
01:37:57,072 --> 01:38:00,273
next to him
is a bimbo gold digger.

1580
01:38:01,643 --> 01:38:04,244
We assume a lot of things.

1581
01:38:06,481 --> 01:38:09,215
What you see isn't all their is.

1582
01:38:10,285 --> 01:38:14,420
And what you assume,
hardly ever is.

1583
01:38:28,536 --> 01:38:32,972
In the end,
things become clearer.

1584
01:38:32,974 --> 01:38:36,309
In the end, things make sense.

1585
01:38:37,412 --> 01:38:40,680
