- Hey, girl, my phone died.
You know what time it is?
- Let me see.
9:17
- Damn.
Bus is running late. I need to
get my child from my mother.
- Well, I'm about to go to Starbucks
to get something to drink.
You want something?
- Nah, I'm okay. Thank you. - Alright cool.
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo
- Time to wake up.
Rise and shine, Princess.
Come on, let's go.
Let's wake up. All right.
Come on, Sleeping Beauty.
Let's go, baby, let's go!
Come on, come on Wake up.
- Oh, shit, shit.
- Come here. Here.
Mm, mm, mm?
Rinse out.
Just rinse.
Come on.
- Cheers.
- Mm, keep your reflexes sharp.
Ow.
Let me get your back.
- Yep.
Turn around. - You get my back.
- You're good.
All right.
Move.
- All right, all right. See ya later.
- Hey, where you going, man?
We got a few minutes. Talk to me.
Tell me about this girl.
Come on.
- The girl? - Yeah the girl.
- Ah.
Um.
Her and I met in Philosophy Two.
And she sits right behind me and...
- She cute?
Okay, is she cute?
- Hey, man, come on.
You do got my genes.
- I don't know, man. I...
I just thought I'd never be able to
be on her radar, you know?
- Sure.
- And, I'm just, I don't know.
Caught me, caught me
by surprise for sure, but
her and I are supposed
to meet today at noon, so
if you can show up a
little later, pick me up?
- I show, okay. - Yeah?
- Yeah? - Okay.
- Yeah, man, I...
- So where you taking her?
- I don't know yet. Steak or burgers?
- Definitely steak.
First date, you gotta
lay the law of the land.
You got to do it...
- It's expensive Alex.
- You gotta do it right.
Don't spend it all at once. Here you go.
Yeah.
- Steak it is. - Yeah, yeah.
- Love you, brother.
- Eh. - Yeah.
- Eh, what's up, Junior?
- What's up, guys?
- What's up? - What's up, Johnny?
- What's up, Junior. - What up, Alex?
Good, man, good. How are you?
- Good, good.
What you doing here so early?
- Sh, man, I got a job
here as a security guard.
Can you believe it?
- No.
- Anyways, orientation
starts in like a hour but
my mom told me to come
early, so, you guys know how it is.
- Asians, we always gotta be early.
- That's right. - Yeah.
- How's your parents' barbecue shop doing?
- It's good.
We're expanding the shop now, so.
- That's dope.
- Yeah, how you guys doing?
- Good.
I got class soon, so I gotta dip out.
- Oh, oh, you do?
- Yeah. - All right, cool.
- Hey, good to see you, Junior.
- All right, brother. - Bye, Junior.
- All right, brother, I love
you. Get outta my car.
- Will do.
I'll let you know how the day goes.
- Sounds good. - All right.
- Jonathan.
- How you doing, Mr. Thatcher?
- I'm good. How are you?
- Good, good.
- You know, the school doesn't open
for quite some time now.
Are you familiar with
what time your classes are?
- Yeah, uh.
My brother works early mornings,
so it's easier for him
to drop me off early,
so I just work on assignments while I wait.
- Listen, mate, it's the end of the year.
It's against school policy,
but, let me give you this key.
All right, so you don't
have to wait outside.
Go inside.
- Thank you, Mr. T.
James, tell Alex to come here.
- And that's the difference
between action and thought.
One must apply action in order to achieve
anything of substance.
Thought are for scholars who teach theory.
Action is what moves
society forwards and upwards.
Now, class, I want you to
write a paper on the action
you wanna take in life and
where you want it to take you.
This should be a deep
dive, nothing surface level,
but there's no wrong answers here.
I really just wanna see
what you have learned
from the class, what has
sunken in, resonated with you,
and how you can apply it to the goals
you're trying to achieve.
Miss Wilks?
- Yes?
- Oh, sorry, class. Can I
borrow you for about 15 minutes?
- Yeah. I'll see you guys next Tuesday.
- What's up? - What's up?
- Acting like we don't have a date.
So, I'm hungry, and where we going?
- According to our text messages,
we'll be heading out to lunch at 12.
So, in three minutes.
- Three minutes?
- That's right. Two now.
- Well, I'm starving, so I
think that we should go now
so I can eat you out of your house.
- Um, well, there is no house.
So good luck with that.
Oh, what do you know. It's 12 o'clock.
- Finally.
- Would you care to join me?
- Of course.
- Look at Johnny trying to be like me,
with sauce and all that.
- Aint no one got sauce like you, baby.
- Sauce? He aint got no riz.
- Man, shut up Thomas with a D.
It's
not Thomas, it's Tomas.
- Exactly. Dumbass, with a D.
- Ahh what ever.
- Come on, baby, let's go.
Let's go get something to eat.
- I'm a tune up my Supra - Yeah I'm out.
- Sure.
- Yeah, I'm about to dust
your ass on the court, Thomas.
With that broke ass shot? I don't think so.
- Let me call you back.
- You called for me?
- Come inside and take a seat.
- I'd rather stand. What's up?
- You want a light? You like sports?
- Nah, I don't. I don't
have time to keep up.
- So I heard this story
recently about these
hedge fund guys and girls
giving theirselves bonuses
all while their companies went bankrupt.
- Mm-hm.
- And, of course, the
government bailed them out
with our tax dollars.
- Okay.
- But you know what
those assholes didn't do?
- What?
- They never gave back their bonuses.
See that?
I need you to deliver
that to an address for me.
- What's in the bag?
- Look, that's none of your concern.
From one vet to another, I respect you.
You the only one in this dump I trust
to deliver that bag safely.
- I'm glad you think so highly of me.
But, respectfully, I'm
gonna have to decline, sir.
Hold up. I
got something for you.
This is for you, after
you deliver that package.
- You got that light?
- There you go.
I knew you'd come around.
- You know?
I told my comrade that I would
spark one up for him when I was ready
to see him right before he died.
Right?
It made him smile.
This was his last cigarette.
- Get to the point.
- Today's not that day, Vince.
Thanks for the lighter.
- In that case, you're fired.
- I quit.
Today's the day.
It has to be today.
- When I tell you, that
turkey burger was so good.
I'm literally so stuffed.
- It did look tasty.
My brother and I go there every two weeks.
- Paycheck meals, huh?
My mom and dad used to do
that before they got divorced.
Now it's every man on their own.
- I remember those days.
My mom used to throw down in the kitchen.
My mom would make steak with chicken
and a thick layer of six different cheeses.
- Mm-hm.
- Then she would add fried rice.
Now I'm thinking about it,
she made fried rice every Wednesdays.
Until this day, it's one of the most
delicious things we've ever eaten.
- I really gotta try that.
It sounds really good.
But on a real note, since
we went on our first date,
when are you gonna
introduce me to your mom?
- This is our first date?
- Yeah, you took me out and paid.
If that wasn't the case,
we woulda split the bill
and already left.
Okay. Good to know we're compatible.
We're gonna have to take a
rain check on seeing my parents.
They uh...
They died.
- I'm so sorry. What happened?
- They died in a car crash.
My brother's wife and my
parents were on their way
to my brother's graduation and,
they got hit by a semi truck.
- No way.
- The truck driver barely
had a scratch on him.
Anyways, my brother's
gonna be here pretty soon.
Let's get going. All right?
- Absolutely.
- Hey?
Do you have any cash or food?
- Uh.
You know what?
I have a barely eaten sandwich in the van.
Let me get that for you, okay?
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Okay.
This should be pretty good.
Hm.
Hey, sorry I don't have more,
but I have a barely eaten sandwich,
Doritos and some water.
- Thanks.
I actually haven't eaten all
day, so I really appreciate it.
- Yeah, no worries.
What's your name?
- Elizabeth.
- Alex, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- What are you doing out here?
- Do you live in that van?
- I do for now.
What about you?
- Well, I lost my job as a hairstylist,
and rent was already past due.
The eviction process was already happening.
I left my boyfriend that I moved here for.
He was abusive and just generally a dick.
- Sorry to hear that.
- And yeah, things just
kept snowballing from there.
- I see.
Well...
- Look, I better go, though, because
shelter lines fill up pretty quick.
- Sure.
All right, well, Elizabeth,
nice to meet you.
- Same.
What was your name again?
- Alex.
Good luck with everything, all right?
- Thanks, you too.
Hey, thanks, Alex. Seriously.
- Take care of yourself, all right.
- I had a great time.
I appreciate you walking me back to my car.
- I really enjoyed your company.
- Me too.
- Let's do this again?
- Yeah, most definitely.
- Great, I'm looking forward to it.
- Johnny boy, Johnny boy.
Eh, we heard you and your brother live
in that shitty ass van.
- We got that work if you need it.
- Facts.
- Ricky, you gonna shut
your ass up? Bitch ass nigga.
- Shut the fuck up, ho.
Hey, fuck you.
- We all know you suck dick for change.
- Hey, don't talk to her like that.
- When is my turn bitch?
And why don't you step outta
your car since you're so tough.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Eh, we got a killer on our hands.
What, you a gangsta now?
- Whatever. - Can y'all just keep pushing?
Yo let's get the fuck outta here.
Y'all annoying.
- Look, man, we all know
you can fight, Johnny.
That's why we keep the strap around here.
As Jamal said, we got that
work for you if you need it.
We know you're broke
and struggling out here.
Plus, my brother Trey got
a soft spot for your brother.
You know they go back
since them desert camos.
Matter of fact, I got something for you.
This one's on the house.
Why don't you just leave us
alone? Stop being disrespectful.
- Stop trying to act tough in
front of some community pussy.
All right? Don't say I aint warn you.
- I don't need your money, Rick.
Why don't you just leave
us alone and get outta here.
I'm just trying to help.
Go help your grandma.
Aint she missing a leg, punk ass bitch?
Bitch ass fighting ass nigga.
They're assholes. I deal
with guys like that all the time.
Don't let them get to you.
Okay? Come here.
Muah.
- Oh, uh.
Okay, so, uh, so second date?
- I already scheduled it. See ya next week.
Bye.
Oh.
Hello.
- Sir, welcome. What brings you in today?
- Well my brother just got this letter,
and I have this feeling
that he'll get accepted
into the Stanford master's medical program.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
So I figured I'd come by and get him
a nice, custom-made suit to celebrate.
- Definitely an occasion worth celebrating.
So, if you have an idea of his measurements
and any kinda style he'd like, I can go
and prep for you as soon as tomorrow.
- Sure.
Navy blue. Classic, timeless.
- Look at this perfect
ass, man. You see that?
- Yo, what the fuck,
man? You fucking retarded.
- Bro.
- Why don't we get the
fuck outta here, man?
- Let's get outta here, man.
Fucking shit. Cut that attitude.
- Sorry fellas.
- Hey watch where the fuck you're going.
- Yeah, man, watch
where the fuck you going.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean any trouble.
- You should apologize.
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Fucking idiot. We got
bigger things to worry about.
- I shoulda killed his ass.
Hey, just in time.
Oh, man, I'm stomped.
- Hey, pass me the drink?
- Yeah.
So where we going?
- I'm gonna take you
to get your favorite food,
and somewhere special.
- Empanadas?
- Yeah, empanadas. - Wait. Wait. Wait.
Can we afford it?
- We could always afford it, Johnny.
- Eh, I don't know, man.
Lately, it's been canned
tunas, bananas, apples.
- And what's wrong with that?
- And crackers. And don't
even mention the beverages.
My veins are flowing with
Frescas right now, brother.
- First of all, potassium, sugar,
carbs, all good for the body.
And we know Frescas are
just downright good for the soul.
- Uh-huh.
I know what's coming. Spit it out.
- And always remember, input...
- I know. - Okay, let me hear it.
- Has to be always greater than the output,
and you'll always have a comfortable life.
- You know who told me that?
- Dad.
- That's right, Dad.
You guys are so similar it's uncanny.
- Yeah, I remember Christmas.
- Uh-huh.
- When Mom made the best turkey.
And, you know, Dad couldn't
even cut the damn turkey.
Right?
Yeah, he used to try and cut it
with a butter knife remember?
And he was just, ah!
He'd be like, oh Sheba, this won't cut.
- Couldn't get through it.
- And Mom used to
grab her big silver knife,
and she would just slice
through it like a samurai.
It was crazy.
- Yeah the one with the big handle.
You remember on Christmas Eve,
they used to hide the
presents on the top shelf.
And dad used to give us that wink
and pretend that
someone stole our presents.
- Yeah.
- You remember that. Crazy.
Every year.
- Every year, man. Every year.
- You know, I miss them.
- You know, I think that,
I think about them a lot.
- Yeah.
- I miss them too.
- Me too.
I got somewhere fun to take us, so
don't dwell too long.
- Here's a piece for you, baby.
Chicken for dad.
Hey, baby, you're right on time.
I was just finishing the plates.
- Looks good.
- Yes.
Mm, how was your day?
- Oh, it was great.
I might win an award for
most traffic stops of the month.
- Oh.
- I was on a roll.
- Dad, people don't like tickets.
It's already hard enough.
- You do have a point. - Smart kid.
- She's right, you know?
- Well, good thing is, Daddy
doesn't give a lotta tickets.
I only give tickets to people if
they're doing something to
cause harm to themselves,
like their brake light is out and...
- Mm-hm.
- Somebody could crash
into the back of them and
you know, you could kill somebody.
- Mm.
Well, Daddy is a good cop.
- That's right.
- He helps everyday people like us
and goes after the bad
guys when he needs to.
- Thanks, honey. - Mm-hm.
- How was your day?
- It was good.
What did you do?
- I just played with Legos,
and I watched television.
Sound like you had a great day.
- All day.
We actually had a scare today.
- What do you mean?
- Somebody brought a gun to school today,
and we had to lock everything down.
- Why didn't I hear about this?
- Well, it was fine.
Turns out it was just a broken BB gun.
You know, the kid, showing off to friends,
bragging about it, but I'm just glad
that that's all it was.
It's sad because we look
on the news every day
and then there's a new school shooting.
Mm, anyway.
How's your food?
- You know what?
I don't understand people
who can send their
kids to school with guns.
I just, I just never imagined guns
being at school when I was a kid.
- Mm-hm.
- What is this world coming to?
People who target kids,
they should just be...
They don't deserve to live, you know.
You see this.
This is not a toy.
You don't pick it up,
and you don't play with it.
This is used to protect your family,
and protect your family from bad guys.
And when you get old enough,
I'll teach you how to use it.
You understand me?
Yes, sir.
It's not a game. You know what I'm saying?
- Okay, babe, I think that's enough.
- Hm?
- You really need to eat
your food and calm down.
- You're right, babe, I'm sorry.
This shit just pisses me
off. I need to take a walk.
- Here we are.
- Ah.
Are they even open?
- Yeah, I had Jimmy block it out for us.
Come on.
- There we go.
- Oh.
Booo.
Oh!
Yes.
Whoa!
Don't be scared now.
- Oh.
- I know you're not staring
at the city in deep thought.
Beautiful view, huh?
- Yeah.
Last time we had these was, was Christmas.
- Yeah, Mom used to make them.
- Yeah.
That's a lot.
I mean, is there a celebration
that I don't know about?
- Just don't eat too much food, all right.
I got somewhere to take you.
Mm.
- Good time.
- And these taste just like
when Mom used to make them.
- Yeah.
- The only thing that's missing is kimchi.
- Fried rice.
- Fried rice, kimchi.
- Mom used to make fried
rice every Wednesdays.
- Yeah. Oh God.
You remember when...
When during the holidays,
Mom used to always kinda
play that game, right, Chuto.
Oh, yeah.
- And she would hide
money, like, under the couch,
and and and in the cabinets
and and everywhere, really.
And she would make us fight each other
to see who could find
the highest dollar bill.
And the winner
always got
Krispy Kreme doughnuts,
and the loser had to watch
the other one and eat the
Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
Do you, do you remember all that?
- I do.
- I guess I was just to
young to remember, I guess.
- But I did always win, so it makes sense.
- Okay.
- I wanna take you somewhere.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, come on.
- You know we haven't been
here since our parents used to
have us work in the kitchen.
- Just work? We were forced to work here.
- I used to love working here.
- Love?
- Yeah.
- You loved being forced to work here?
That's some child labor
shit, man. Come on now.
- You know, Dad used to always say,
it's better to be useful than
a bum.
- Yeah.
- And working in that
kitchen, I always felt useful.
You remember when I,
I used to help you with your
kuma worksheets right over there?
- Of course, my math homework.
Yeah, of course I remember.
- Right over there.
You used to get the
sixes and nines mixed up.
- Maybe I was thinking about 69.
69 at seven?
- Uh-huh, uh-uh. I was
hitting puberty at the time.
- I don't think you were
hitting puberty at seven.
- You sure?
- No, that doesn't happen til like 11, 12.
- Oh.
- You may have had a
little peach fuzz, but I don't...
- Maybe somehow I found
your porn stash. I don't know.
- Did you?
Because I was missing like a
November issue. Like from '96.
You definite, you definitely...
Wait, did you take it?
- Okay, I was kidding. I was only seven.
- It was still missing.
- Hey, you remember when Mom and Dad got a,
a flat tire over there?
- Yeah, and they had...
- She made us change it.
- Yeah, they had us change it.
We didn't know what we were doing.
- We got it done.
- You remember when uh,
what actually happened, though?
That's where I met my wife.
- That's right.
- Yeah, we didn't have a jack.
- And she stopped by, gave us the jack.
- She gave us the jack.
- You met here, and you just couldn't get
a solid sentence out.
- Oh my God, man. Wait.
I'm Alex, oh.
Come on, man.
- You know, I get goosebumps.
I remember like it was yesterday.
She had a, a yellow sundress.
With her beautiful brunette hair and
she had this, this...
This...
white pearl necklace,
and these red boots with
these like thick heels on them.
And the most infectious
smile I've ever seen.
You know, the first time I
looked at her I knew that,
I knew that I would marry her.
I knew that
I would have a family with her.
You know I love you, Johnny.
I love you a lot.
And I'm so proud of you and
the man that you've become.
- Okay, Mister Serious.
- Listen, man, I'm not gonna
always be here to protect you.
And, uh,
I just want you to trust your instincts.
And if there is ever a big decision
that you gotta make, sleep on it.
Don't be afraid to fail.
I'm proud of you.
I'm so proud of you, man.
- I love you.
- I'm supposed to be the one hugging you.
I love you, all right?
- I love you too.
- I, I got something for you.
- What did you spend money on this time?
- I got something for you.
- Oh, man.
- Hold on, it's good.
It's real good.
- Where do you get all this money from?
No way.
- Okay, attention Jonathan P. Walker.
- No.
No, no.
- Yes. - No.
- No.
No.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Dear Mr. Walker.
Congratulations!
Yeah! Yes!
It is with great pleasure
that we offer you admission
to the Stanford University masters program.
- Okay, keep going, keep going!
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- Your unique applications
and remarkable storytelling
has convinced us that you have...
- Get it out, get it out.
- The aptitude, intellectual frequency
and talent to forge at Stanford.
You were selected among
the 30,000 applications
to receive this year.
We look forward to your contribution
to the university and society.
- Yes!
You got in, you got in!
- I did, I did.
- I'm so proud. I'm so proud of you.
Oh, I'm so proud of you!
I'm so proud of you.
You know what?
We're not sleeping in the van tonight.
We're getting a hotel.
Come on, let's go. Close up, come on.
- Oh, hey, welcome to the Dahlonega Inn.
Hi, how are you?
- Not bad, not bad.
So you guys got a reservation?
No, we don't.
- Mm, okay, okay.
So you want a room for an hour, 30 minutes?
You know, some people
don't even take 30 minutes.
I've seen people in and out in like 10.
So if you slide me a quick 20,
I'll get you in 15 for 20.
- It's a room for my brother and I so
the night will be fine. - Oh.
Oh, my bad.
So sorry about that.
Let's just act like that never happened.
Please don't tell HR.
My mom's been kinda
PMSing and she will fire me
if I get in trouble again because
honestly, I haven't really been the best.
But I'll get you a good room.
I'll get you a good
room, don't worry about it.
I'll get you the best room we got.
Oh, oh shit.
I'll be right back. I don't
know where the key is.
What do you think you're
in, a Tarantino movie?
Since when did you start smoking?
- What? Oh, I uh...
I didn't even realize I was smoking.
I do look cool, though, right? - What?
Like a '90s flick?
- Yeah, I mean, but, I
mean who grabs a cigarette,
lights it and forgets that they're smoking?
Nobody.
- Say no to drugs.
I'm glad you got my bags. It's Room 109.
Come on.
Oh yeah, keep it up.
Oh, I'm gonna drop it.
Yeah, ah.
- This looks cozy.
- Yeah, at least we'll be
able to stretch a little bit.
Sh sh, sh sh.
I'm gonna come.
Oh, bloody hell. Oh.
- And they're done.
- Well hey, I'm gonna take a shower.
- Knock yourself out.
- Haven't seen you write
in that journal in a while.
What are you writing about?
- You know, just stuff.
Life beyond life. Observations.
Family.
- Yeah, that shower felt good.
- I bet. You took long enough.
You probably took all the hot water.
- Yeah, because the baby wipes don't work.
- I got to thinking.
Do you resent me for
making us live in that van?
You know, I can't shake
this thought that sometimes
good people make bad choices
but it doesn't mean they're a bad person.
- Why would I resent you?
You're my big brother.
I know you would always
do what's best for us and
plus, you want me to focus on school
and you don't want me working, so
I just thought us being in
the van was just a sacrifice.
You're like Hitachi like
that, always thinking ahead.
Plus,
we got a roof over our
head, food in our stomach.
I say we're doing okay.
And you always have money.
Not a lot, but money.
- Thank you, sasuke
Stop watching my pockets.
- Uh-huh.
All right, I'm gonna go
- enjoy this spa like shower.
- It did feel nice man.
Shower you're gloating about.
- Go enjoy yourself.
I'm gonna rest, man. I'm tired.
- Who is that love?
- I don't have time for that right now.
Nobody important.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He just one of my fuck boys from school.
I'm literally so out of his league.
But he's just fun for now, an experiment.
Well I've gotta get going, love.
That was lovely, by the way.
- Ditto.
So where's your wife at?
I haven't seen her at school.
- My wife is coming
home from Phoenix so.
- So sweet.
- Same time next week, right?
- That's right, same as always.
- I'm gonna leave you
a little, you know, extra.
- Extra is always nice.
It is, isn't it?
Here we go.
Right there.
- Thank you, Professor.
- Next week.
- Of course.
- Shit, shit, shit. - What a strumpet.
- Fuck this.
What are you doing? What's the matter?
- I just called Julie.
Her phone rang in the next door.
I heard another man's voice.
I think she's a prostitute,
a fucking hooker!
- Sh.
I love you.
You're not gonna like
what I'm about to tell you.
Sit down.
Sit down.
What I'm about to tell you is the truth,
and it'll do you well in life.
That girl doesn't owe you anything.
You guys went on one date.
No boundaries have been set.
You haven't claimed each other.
You guys are just
getting to know each other.
You know that feeling
you're feeling right now?
Learn to control it.
Because once you do, it's
a powerful, powerful weapon
if you can control that
anger you have right here.
- What am I supposed to do?
I like her.
I thought she was the one.
- You thought she was
the one after one date?
I mean, what you guys talk about?
Hot dogs and Cheetos and what
you're gonna name your kids?
- I don't really get a
chance like that, Alex.
We live in a van.
All I do is go to school,
eat, hang out with you
and that's it.
What else do I do?
She's been part of my life
the majority of my college days.
And now she's...
- You know,
Mom used to be a prostitute.
- Hm?
- Don't judge that girl.
Because you don't know
what she's going through
and you don't know what she's doing.
Mom used to do the same thing.
Would you think of Mom that way?
- No, of course not.
- Of course not. One day,
she's gonna be a mom.
Truth be told, we're all a
buncha hoes anyways.
The only difference is you know
when we do it, we're pimps.
But, that's just life. It's nature.
We're made to breed.
- Speak for yourself, old man.
I just got accepted to Stanford.
- I'm gonna be the best doctor there is!
See, we're not even worried about that.
You just got accepted to Stanford.
We just got accepted to Stanford.
I'm gonna go finish, you
know, getting ready for bed.
Get the bed ready and
go lay down, all right?
- Hey. - Huh?
- I couldn't have done that without you.
- Yeah, you could've.
- Night night, Daddy.
- Good night, Princess.
Get you some rest, okay?
- Okay.
- Come on to bed, love.
- Love you.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
- See ya later Jim.
Hi, Dave.
- Now, hair of the dog.
Shit.
- Time to wake up!
Come on, Princess, it's time
to wake up and get ready.
There's a beautiful
day ahead of us, let's go.
Get up.
- What time did you wake
up? Don't you have work today?
- Oh, I didn't tell, I forgot
to tell you. I got fired.
- What?
- Yeah, don't worry about
that. Let me handle that.
Get up, get ready, because I have a gift
that's waiting for you.
- Mind if I take a shower?
- Princess, the shower is waiting for you.
As you can tell, I'm already dressed.
- Okay. - Let's go.
- Hey, um, is it a good
idea for you to buy me a gift?
- I'm gonna be in the lobby.
They have fresh oatmeal.
No bananas, which kinda
sucks but they got Frescas.
- Great.
- You let me handle the finances.
- I haven't seen you
without your necklace before.
- You what? Oh.
I probably just forgot it
in my bag or something.
I'll get it later.
- All right.
- Now this gift I got you is special.
- Mr. Walker, welcome back. Right on time.
- How you doing?
- Well, good to see you.
- Is this the young man? - It is.
- How you doing, Ryan.
- Oh, Johnny.
- Pleasure to meet you, Johnny.
I've got something for you.
Thank you.
Is this the surprise
you were talking about?
- Let me know what you think of that.
- Ooh, this looks good.
Ooh, you like that red vest over there?
- What?
- Yeah, yeah, this looks good, uh?
- Yeah.
That's great, man.
The blue, are you sure?
- Try this on. - Yeah.
- Looking sharp. - Wow.
- Oh wow, that looks really good.
You did really good, Ryan.
- Feels good, Alex.
-Thank you. I'm a man of my craft.
- Okay.
- All right, take it off. How
much do we owe you?
- Well, typically I
don't do this, but just,
considering your accomplishments
here and what you've got
planned for your
future, I'd like to give you
all the house discount.
So, in total, that'll be $1,200.
- All right, we'll take it.
Excellent, I'll get that ready for you.
- $1,200?
- Yes, sometimes you have
to stop worrying about money.
- Can you even aff...
Where did you get...
- Thank you very much. - Appreciate it.
- This is yours. - Thank you.
- I'll get this sorted out.
Carry this.
Come on. Have a good day, Ryan.
- You as well. - Thank you.
You too.
- Hey, what was that?
Where'd you get all that money from?
- Don't worry about it.
Hey!
- What the fuck is this?
No, wait, stop! Help, let go of me!
Get your ass in the car.
Let go of me! Somebody help!
Shut the fuck up, bitch!

Goddammit, handle it! Handle that bitch!
Come on, man, I'm trying to drive!

Stupid ass bitch!
- So where do you think
they're gonna take us?
I just wanna go home.
- Honestly, girl, I know you're scared,
but we gotta get the fuck outta here.
- What are we gonna do?
- Listen, I think that we
should continue to act scared,
and when the time comes we run.
- I don't need to pretend.
I'm fucking scared.
- Girl, me too. Shit.
- We gotta do something.
God damn, man, you gotta stop
hitting them so hard.
- See that shit?
- Fucking up the product.
- See, they always
wanna put up a fight till you
smack they ass with a pipe.
- Hey, she's no good to us dead, man.
- Man, I know that.
I just gave her a love tap, that's all.
She'll be all good.
- Johnny, call the cops and tell them
the car make, model and color.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, on it, on it.
Nine one one,
what's your emergency?
- Yeah, hello.
I just witnessed a kidnapping.
Sir, what's your address?
- Tell them we're headed southbound on 275.
- Southbound on 275.

- Yeah yeah yeah, that plate, yeah.
It's a white Toyota Prius, Georgia plates.
Yeah yeah yeah, it was a
white guy and a black guy

Uh.

- Man, I'll kill you and me both
because I don't give a fuck.
- Johnny, give me the gun.
What?
- Give me the fucking gun!
- You have a gun?
- Give me the gun. It's
under the seat, Johnny.
Sir, I need you to give me
more details on what's going on.
Sorry, yes, ma'am.
Sir, are you
there? I need more information.
- I, I... - They're slowing down.
I have to go.
They're pulling over.
Let's chill and just get this deal done.
I gotta use the damn bathroom.
Man, you always gotta take a shit.
- Alex, what are you gonna do? Alex?
- Hey, yo, get me some
hot fries and a monster.
I'll get you glass of shut the hell up!
Stay in the car.
Don't get out.
- Okay.
- Always asking for stuff.
Never has any fucking money.

How much do I owe you for that?
- $5.25 even. - All right.

Thanks, baby, have a good day.
Alright you got this

Sucky, sucky.

Hey, yo.
You shut the fuck up man.
- What the fuck was that?
- What the hell was what?
- I told you to stay in the car.
- I wanted to back you up.

- We need to get these zip ties off.
- We need to find scissors.
Girl, come on, what are we gonna do?
- Fuck this.
Hey! Somebody help!
Let us out! We're in here!
I'll handle that. Just relax.
- I'm telling you, this Rico
cat, he'll fucking kill us.
- Man, don't worry about it.
Listen, I know a guy that smuggles.
We just gotta him the product, okay.
He'll pay top dollar, I'm telling you.
- Product? What product?
- Don't worry about
that. I'll handle that, man.
Just relax.
It's gonna be okay, man. Dumb motherfucker.
Just breathe.
- Help, help, please!
We're in here!
- Come on, help, please!
- Fuck. - Nobody's coming.
We're so fucked!
- We need more blow.
I'm running out.
- Yeah, man, we'll stop, we'll get some.
Whatever happened to
those two meth heads, man?
They had some bomb
pussy, you know what I mean?
- No.
Man, I wanna start a empire like Scarface.
We need to start selling drugs.
A lot of it, like some Escobar shit.
- Yeah, we'll be riding
Ferraris and floating on yachts.
Fucking model bitches.
Have them snort that
yayo off our wieners, bro.
- Fucking traveling first
class overseas on a yacht
and fucking real Spanish bitches?
Hell yeah.
- Yeah, man.
Once we make this deal, we'll
be in the free and clear, man.
- We can do whatever the fuck we want.
- Hell yeah.
How much longer till we got to the spot?
- Got about 30 minutes.
- 15?
Good.
I wanna test this bitch out.
- Oh shit. - What?
- We got a cop, man.
- Fuck alright.
- I aint going back to jail.
- Be cool, man, be cool.
- So, sir, do you want me to take this
or do you got it?
- 10-four, I'll take care of this.
You just take notes.
- Let them take care of
that shit. Let's go now.
- No no, no no, something
doesn't feel right.
- The whole thing doesn't feel right!
- Calm down, Johnny.
- Calm down? I am calm, Alex.
We're not cops.
Jesus Christ.
- Stay here. - Yes, sir.
- All right, you got 15...
- All right, be cool, be cool.
Hey, how you doing today, Officer?
- Do you know why I pulled you over?
- No, officer, what's up?
- Well you were not obeying
traffic laws back there.
You were moving kinda funny.
You got a license? You got
a license and registration?
- I forgot my wallet at home. Pardon me.
- Is she okay. - She's fine.
- Who? - Looks like she's out.
Oh yeah.
We just pulled an all-nighter
on a yacht in Florida.
We're just really tired.
- Exhausted.
So tired.
- You got a license and registration?
Fuck this shit
Go go go go go!
- All right!
- Sir, sir, are you okay?
Get up, get up.
Come on, sir, we gotta go.
Shit, should I call backup?
- Fuck backup. I'm just fine.
- Shit!
Alex, what are we gonna do?
They just shot the fucking officer.
Alex?
Alex?
Alex!
- What, Johnny?
I can see! I can see, okay!
The officer was just doing his damn job.
- Why, why do you care
about these girls so much?
- It's not about the girl, Johnny!
It's about doing the right
thing! Didn't I teach you that?
If we don't stop these
fucking monsters right now,
this girl would never be found!
She'll be sold off as a sex slave,
and her life would never be the same!
And if she somehow makes it out of this,
she'll be ruined forever, Johnny.
Do you want that?
Do you want that?
- No. No, of course not.
But what are we gonna do?
What are we supposed to do, Alex?
Huh?
What?
- We're gonna save that
girl, and I'm gonna kill them.
I'm gonna fucking kill them.
- Hurry up man.
Come on.
Get yo ass up, bitch.
- What the fuck was that, man?
- What was what?
- Shot that fucking cop, idiot.

Fucking idiot. - What?
- You fucking idiot. - Put me down!
- Shut the fuck up hoe! - Put me down!
Let go of me!
- Get your fucking ass
moving and get her inside man.
Help me!
- All right.
So what do we do now?
- We're gonna go in
there and save the girl.
Grab the gun. You remember
what I taught you, right?
- Yeah, how can I forget?
Safety off. Point to shoot.
Shoot to kill.
- That's right. Shoot to kill.
- Okay.
- Come on.

All right, I gotta take a shit!
Don't bother me for 15 minutes.

Just breathe.
Somebody help us!
Come on.
In and out, come on.
It's fine, it's fine, just breathe.
Come on, come on, come on, sit up.
Deep breaths, deep breaths.
Help us!
- On the ground! On the ground!
- Hey.
Come on, Johnny, hurry up.
You don't wanna be
late for your graduation.
- I'll be out.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Dear Johnny.
I love you, brother.
And I'm extremely proud
of you and the man that you've become.
I'm filled with gratitude,
love
and excitement
and sadness
that I won't be there for your future.
I have some things I need to tell you.
I have some explaining to do.
Promise not to be mad at me
or judge me in a way where
you hold resentment towards me.
I did everything I could for you
and some things selfishly for me.
Whatever you're doing right now,
I want you to go to Grandma's tree.
You know the one we used
to climb when we were kids.
Bring a shovel.
Facing east,
away from the pond.
Start at our hide-and-go-seek spot.
I want you to take 10
steps and start digging.
There about one foot deep,
you'll find a suitcase full of money.
And login information to
my investment accounts.
I actually invested all
my money into Tesla.
Should be worth about 20 million by now.
It will pay for your college
and allow you to live
the best life possible.
I know you're gonna make us proud.
I know you're wondering
why did we live in the van
and struggle for those
years if we didn't have to.
Let me explain.
I haven't been the same since
my wife and our parents died.
I couldn't get past it.
This man, Donald Harrison, was still alive.
And by the time you're
reading this, he won't be.
Every day that they weren't here,
hurt,
in a way that I can't describe.
So a few years ago I
decided, I was gonna kill him.
I figured if we lived off the
grid and I waited a few years,
I wouldn't be a suspect.
And neither would you.
I shot him last night.
He was intoxicated,
and he was about to drive.
Maybe I saved someone else.
Maybe I didn't.
But either way I can go
to sleep with no regret.
My only regret is that
I won't see you anymore.
When we found out about you
getting into Stanford's medical program.
I've never been happier in my life.
I'm so proud of you.
I know Mom and Dad are smiling.
I can't wait to see them.
I did some bad things in my life.
And I hope that my sins
will be forgiven with you.
I have a feeling my time is coming.
I just wanna leave you with
a few more bits of knowledge,
as I won't be able to
give it to you anymore.
Make decisions that will
leave your conscience clean,
because the weight eventually
takes over as you mature.
Love and continue to love.
Don't allow the hurt of
relationships and failure stop
you from enjoying life...
and loving those around you.
Life is about the seconds.
I knew what I was doing,
and what I was planning.
I'm sorry I kept you in the dark.
I knew selfishly that
having us live in the van
would allow me to spend as
much time with you as possible.
I knew that I was going
to end up dead, or in jail.
I don't regret those nights
of us talking and laughing
and just being brothers.
Those are my best memories,
and I hope they hold a
place in your heart as well.
Be present with the ones you love
and the places you see.
We're older a lot longer than we are young.
Enjoy your youth
and enjoy the experiences to come.
I love you, Johnny.
And remember, it's like Dad used to say.
Always smile.
Love, your big brother,
Alex Walker.
watching Hypatude Productions.
- Hey, girl, my phone died.
You know what time it is?
- Let me see.
9:17
- Damn.
Bus is running late. I need to
get my child from my mother.
- Well, I'm about to go to Starbucks
to get something to drink.
You want something?
- Nah, I'm okay. Thank you. - Alright cool.
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo
- Time to wake up.
Rise and shine, Princess.
Come on, let's go.
Let's wake up. All right.
Come on, Sleeping Beauty.
Let's go, baby, let's go!
Come on, come on Wake up.
- Oh, shit, shit.
- Come here. Here.
Mm, mm, mm?
Rinse out.
Just rinse.
Come on.
- Cheers.
- Mm, keep your reflexes sharp.
Ow.
Let me get your back.
- Yep.
Turn around. - You get my back.
- You're good.
All right.
Move.
- All right, all right. See ya later.
- Hey, where you going, man?
We got a few minutes. Talk to me.
Tell me about this girl.
Come on.
- The girl? - Yeah the girl.
- Ah.
Um.
Her and I met in Philosophy Two.
And she sits right behind me and...
- She cute?
Okay, is she cute?
- Hey, man, come on.
You do got my genes.
- I don't know, man. I...
I just thought I'd never be able to
be on her radar, you know?
- Sure.
- And, I'm just, I don't know.
Caught me, caught me
by surprise for sure, but
her and I are supposed
to meet today at noon, so
if you can show up a
little later, pick me up?
- I show, okay. - Yeah?
- Yeah? - Okay.
- Yeah, man, I...
- So where you taking her?
- I don't know yet. Steak or burgers?
- Definitely steak.
First date, you gotta
lay the law of the land.
You got to do it...
- It's expensive Alex.
- You gotta do it right.
Don't spend it all at once. Here you go.
Yeah.
- Steak it is. - Yeah, yeah.
- Love you, brother.
- Eh. - Yeah.
- Eh, what's up, Junior?
- What's up, guys?
- What's up? - What's up, Johnny?
- What's up, Junior. - What up, Alex?
Good, man, good. How are you?
- Good, good.
What you doing here so early?
- Sh, man, I got a job
here as a security guard.
Can you believe it?
- No.
- Anyways, orientation
starts in like a hour but
my mom told me to come
early, so, you guys know how it is.
- Asians, we always gotta be early.
- That's right. - Yeah.
- How's your parents' barbecue shop doing?
- It's good.
We're expanding the shop now, so.
- That's dope.
- Yeah, how you guys doing?
- Good.
I got class soon, so I gotta dip out.
- Oh, oh, you do?
- Yeah. - All right, cool.
- Hey, good to see you, Junior.
- All right, brother. - Bye, Junior.
- All right, brother, I love
you. Get outta my car.
- Will do.
I'll let you know how the day goes.
- Sounds good. - All right.
- Jonathan.
- How you doing, Mr. Thatcher?
- I'm good. How are you?
- Good, good.
- You know, the school doesn't open
for quite some time now.
Are you familiar with
what time your classes are?
- Yeah, uh.
My brother works early mornings,
so it's easier for him
to drop me off early,
so I just work on assignments while I wait.
- Listen, mate, it's the end of the year.
It's against school policy,
but, let me give you this key.
All right, so you don't
have to wait outside.
Go inside.
- Thank you, Mr. T.
James, tell Alex to come here.
- And that's the difference
between action and thought.
One must apply action in order to achieve
anything of substance.
Thought are for scholars who teach theory.
Action is what moves
society forwards and upwards.
Now, class, I want you to
write a paper on the action
you wanna take in life and
where you want it to take you.
This should be a deep
dive, nothing surface level,
but there's no wrong answers here.
I really just wanna see
what you have learned
from the class, what has
sunken in, resonated with you,
and how you can apply it to the goals
you're trying to achieve.
Miss Wilks?
- Yes?
- Oh, sorry, class. Can I
borrow you for about 15 minutes?
- Yeah. I'll see you guys next Tuesday.
- What's up? - What's up?
- Acting like we don't have a date.
So, I'm hungry, and where we going?
- According to our text messages,
we'll be heading out to lunch at 12.
So, in three minutes.
- Three minutes?
- That's right. Two now.
- Well, I'm starving, so I
think that we should go now
so I can eat you out of your house.
- Um, well, there is no house.
So good luck with that.
Oh, what do you know. It's 12 o'clock.
- Finally.
- Would you care to join me?
- Of course.
- Look at Johnny trying to be like me,
with sauce and all that.
- Aint no one got sauce like you, baby.
- Sauce? He aint got no riz.
- Man, shut up Thomas with a D.
It's
not Thomas, it's Tomas.
- Exactly. Dumbass, with a D.
- Ahh what ever.
- Come on, baby, let's go.
Let's go get something to eat.
- I'm a tune up my Supra - Yeah I'm out.
- Sure.
- Yeah, I'm about to dust
your ass on the court, Thomas.
With that broke ass shot? I don't think so.
- Let me call you back.
- You called for me?
- Come inside and take a seat.
- I'd rather stand. What's up?
- You want a light? You like sports?
- Nah, I don't. I don't
have time to keep up.
- So I heard this story
recently about these
hedge fund guys and girls
giving theirselves bonuses
all while their companies went bankrupt.
- Mm-hm.
- And, of course, the
government bailed them out
with our tax dollars.
- Okay.
- But you know what
those assholes didn't do?
- What?
- They never gave back their bonuses.
See that?
I need you to deliver
that to an address for me.
- What's in the bag?
- Look, that's none of your concern.
From one vet to another, I respect you.
You the only one in this dump I trust
to deliver that bag safely.
- I'm glad you think so highly of me.
But, respectfully, I'm
gonna have to decline, sir.
Hold up. I
got something for you.
This is for you, after
you deliver that package.
- You got that light?
- There you go.
I knew you'd come around.
- You know?
I told my comrade that I would
spark one up for him when I was ready
to see him right before he died.
Right?
It made him smile.
This was his last cigarette.
- Get to the point.
- Today's not that day, Vince.
Thanks for the lighter.
- In that case, you're fired.
- I quit.
Today's the day.
It has to be today.
- When I tell you, that
turkey burger was so good.
I'm literally so stuffed.
- It did look tasty.
My brother and I go there every two weeks.
- Paycheck meals, huh?
My mom and dad used to do
that before they got divorced.
Now it's every man on their own.
- I remember those days.
My mom used to throw down in the kitchen.
My mom would make steak with chicken
and a thick layer of six different cheeses.
- Mm-hm.
- Then she would add fried rice.
Now I'm thinking about it,
she made fried rice every Wednesdays.
Until this day, it's one of the most
delicious things we've ever eaten.
- I really gotta try that.
It sounds really good.
But on a real note, since
we went on our first date,
when are you gonna
introduce me to your mom?
- This is our first date?
- Yeah, you took me out and paid.
If that wasn't the case,
we woulda split the bill
and already left.
Okay. Good to know we're compatible.
We're gonna have to take a
rain check on seeing my parents.
They uh...
They died.
- I'm so sorry. What happened?
- They died in a car crash.
My brother's wife and my
parents were on their way
to my brother's graduation and,
they got hit by a semi truck.
- No way.
- The truck driver barely
had a scratch on him.
Anyways, my brother's
gonna be here pretty soon.
Let's get going. All right?
- Absolutely.
- Hey?
Do you have any cash or food?
- Uh.
You know what?
I have a barely eaten sandwich in the van.
Let me get that for you, okay?
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Okay.
This should be pretty good.
Hm.
Hey, sorry I don't have more,
but I have a barely eaten sandwich,
Doritos and some water.
- Thanks.
I actually haven't eaten all
day, so I really appreciate it.
- Yeah, no worries.
What's your name?
- Elizabeth.
- Alex, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- What are you doing out here?
- Do you live in that van?
- I do for now.
What about you?
- Well, I lost my job as a hairstylist,
and rent was already past due.
The eviction process was already happening.
I left my boyfriend that I moved here for.
He was abusive and just generally a dick.
- Sorry to hear that.
- And yeah, things just
kept snowballing from there.
- I see.
Well...
- Look, I better go, though, because
shelter lines fill up pretty quick.
- Sure.
All right, well, Elizabeth,
nice to meet you.
- Same.
What was your name again?
- Alex.
Good luck with everything, all right?
- Thanks, you too.
Hey, thanks, Alex. Seriously.
- Take care of yourself, all right.
- I had a great time.
I appreciate you walking me back to my car.
- I really enjoyed your company.
- Me too.
- Let's do this again?
- Yeah, most definitely.
- Great, I'm looking forward to it.
- Johnny boy, Johnny boy.
Eh, we heard you and your brother live
in that shitty ass van.
- We got that work if you need it.
- Facts.
- Ricky, you gonna shut
your ass up? Bitch ass nigga.
- Shut the fuck up, ho.
Hey, fuck you.
- We all know you suck dick for change.
- Hey, don't talk to her like that.
- When is my turn bitch?
And why don't you step outta
your car since you're so tough.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Eh, we got a killer on our hands.
What, you a gangsta now?
- Whatever. - Can y'all just keep pushing?
Yo let's get the fuck outta here.
Y'all annoying.
- Look, man, we all know
you can fight, Johnny.
That's why we keep the strap around here.
As Jamal said, we got that
work for you if you need it.
We know you're broke
and struggling out here.
Plus, my brother Trey got
a soft spot for your brother.
You know they go back
since them desert camos.
Matter of fact, I got something for you.
This one's on the house.
Why don't you just leave us
alone? Stop being disrespectful.
- Stop trying to act tough in
front of some community pussy.
All right? Don't say I aint warn you.
- I don't need your money, Rick.
Why don't you just leave
us alone and get outta here.
I'm just trying to help.
Go help your grandma.
Aint she missing a leg, punk ass bitch?
Bitch ass fighting ass nigga.
They're assholes. I deal
with guys like that all the time.
Don't let them get to you.
Okay? Come here.
Muah.
- Oh, uh.
Okay, so, uh, so second date?
- I already scheduled it. See ya next week.
Bye.
Oh.
Hello.
- Sir, welcome. What brings you in today?
- Well my brother just got this letter,
and I have this feeling
that he'll get accepted
into the Stanford master's medical program.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
So I figured I'd come by and get him
a nice, custom-made suit to celebrate.
- Definitely an occasion worth celebrating.
So, if you have an idea of his measurements
and any kinda style he'd like, I can go
and prep for you as soon as tomorrow.
- Sure.
Navy blue. Classic, timeless.
- Look at this perfect
ass, man. You see that?
- Yo, what the fuck,
man? You fucking retarded.
- Bro.
- Why don't we get the
fuck outta here, man?
- Let's get outta here, man.
Fucking shit. Cut that attitude.
- Sorry fellas.
- Hey watch where the fuck you're going.
- Yeah, man, watch
where the fuck you going.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean any trouble.
- You should apologize.
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Fucking idiot. We got
bigger things to worry about.
- I shoulda killed his ass.
Hey, just in time.
Oh, man, I'm stomped.
- Hey, pass me the drink?
- Yeah.
So where we going?
- I'm gonna take you
to get your favorite food,
and somewhere special.
- Empanadas?
- Yeah, empanadas. - Wait. Wait. Wait.
Can we afford it?
- We could always afford it, Johnny.
- Eh, I don't know, man.
Lately, it's been canned
tunas, bananas, apples.
- And what's wrong with that?
- And crackers. And don't
even mention the beverages.
My veins are flowing with
Frescas right now, brother.
- First of all, potassium, sugar,
carbs, all good for the body.
And we know Frescas are
just downright good for the soul.
- Uh-huh.
I know what's coming. Spit it out.
- And always remember, input...
- I know. - Okay, let me hear it.
- Has to be always greater than the output,
and you'll always have a comfortable life.
- You know who told me that?
- Dad.
- That's right, Dad.
You guys are so similar it's uncanny.
- Yeah, I remember Christmas.
- Uh-huh.
- When Mom made the best turkey.
And, you know, Dad couldn't
even cut the damn turkey.
Right?
Yeah, he used to try and cut it
with a butter knife remember?
And he was just, ah!
He'd be like, oh Sheba, this won't cut.
- Couldn't get through it.
- And Mom used to
grab her big silver knife,
and she would just slice
through it like a samurai.
It was crazy.
- Yeah the one with the big handle.
You remember on Christmas Eve,
they used to hide the
presents on the top shelf.
And dad used to give us that wink
and pretend that
someone stole our presents.
- Yeah.
- You remember that. Crazy.
Every year.
- Every year, man. Every year.
- You know, I miss them.
- You know, I think that,
I think about them a lot.
- Yeah.
- I miss them too.
- Me too.
I got somewhere fun to take us, so
don't dwell too long.
- Here's a piece for you, baby.
Chicken for dad.
Hey, baby, you're right on time.
I was just finishing the plates.
- Looks good.
- Yes.
Mm, how was your day?
- Oh, it was great.
I might win an award for
most traffic stops of the month.
- Oh.
- I was on a roll.
- Dad, people don't like tickets.
It's already hard enough.
- You do have a point. - Smart kid.
- She's right, you know?
- Well, good thing is, Daddy
doesn't give a lotta tickets.
I only give tickets to people if
they're doing something to
cause harm to themselves,
like their brake light is out and...
- Mm-hm.
- Somebody could crash
into the back of them and
you know, you could kill somebody.
- Mm.
Well, Daddy is a good cop.
- That's right.
- He helps everyday people like us
and goes after the bad
guys when he needs to.
- Thanks, honey. - Mm-hm.
- How was your day?
- It was good.
What did you do?
- I just played with Legos,
and I watched television.
Sound like you had a great day.
- All day.
We actually had a scare today.
- What do you mean?
- Somebody brought a gun to school today,
and we had to lock everything down.
- Why didn't I hear about this?
- Well, it was fine.
Turns out it was just a broken BB gun.
You know, the kid, showing off to friends,
bragging about it, but I'm just glad
that that's all it was.
It's sad because we look
on the news every day
and then there's a new school shooting.
Mm, anyway.
How's your food?
- You know what?
I don't understand people
who can send their
kids to school with guns.
I just, I just never imagined guns
being at school when I was a kid.
- Mm-hm.
- What is this world coming to?
People who target kids,
they should just be...
They don't deserve to live, you know.
You see this.
This is not a toy.
You don't pick it up,
and you don't play with it.
This is used to protect your family,
and protect your family from bad guys.
And when you get old enough,
I'll teach you how to use it.
You understand me?
Yes, sir.
It's not a game. You know what I'm saying?
- Okay, babe, I think that's enough.
- Hm?
- You really need to eat
your food and calm down.
- You're right, babe, I'm sorry.
This shit just pisses me
off. I need to take a walk.
- Here we are.
- Ah.
Are they even open?
- Yeah, I had Jimmy block it out for us.
Come on.
- There we go.
- Oh.
Booo.
Oh!
Yes.
Whoa!
Don't be scared now.
- Oh.
- I know you're not staring
at the city in deep thought.
Beautiful view, huh?
- Yeah.
Last time we had these was, was Christmas.
- Yeah, Mom used to make them.
- Yeah.
That's a lot.
I mean, is there a celebration
that I don't know about?
- Just don't eat too much food, all right.
I got somewhere to take you.
Mm.
- Good time.
- And these taste just like
when Mom used to make them.
- Yeah.
- The only thing that's missing is kimchi.
- Fried rice.
- Fried rice, kimchi.
- Mom used to make fried
rice every Wednesdays.
- Yeah. Oh God.
You remember when...
When during the holidays,
Mom used to always kinda
play that game, right, Chuto.
Oh, yeah.
- And she would hide
money, like, under the couch,
and and and in the cabinets
and and everywhere, really.
And she would make us fight each other
to see who could find
the highest dollar bill.
And the winner
always got
Krispy Kreme doughnuts,
and the loser had to watch
the other one and eat the
Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
Do you, do you remember all that?
- I do.
- I guess I was just to
young to remember, I guess.
- But I did always win, so it makes sense.
- Okay.
- I wanna take you somewhere.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, come on.
- You know we haven't been
here since our parents used to
have us work in the kitchen.
- Just work? We were forced to work here.
- I used to love working here.
- Love?
- Yeah.
- You loved being forced to work here?
That's some child labor
shit, man. Come on now.
- You know, Dad used to always say,
it's better to be useful than
a bum.
- Yeah.
- And working in that
kitchen, I always felt useful.
You remember when I,
I used to help you with your
kuma worksheets right over there?
- Of course, my math homework.
Yeah, of course I remember.
- Right over there.
You used to get the
sixes and nines mixed up.
- Maybe I was thinking about 69.
69 at seven?
- Uh-huh, uh-uh. I was
hitting puberty at the time.
- I don't think you were
hitting puberty at seven.
- You sure?
- No, that doesn't happen til like 11, 12.
- Oh.
- You may have had a
little peach fuzz, but I don't...
- Maybe somehow I found
your porn stash. I don't know.
- Did you?
Because I was missing like a
November issue. Like from '96.
You definite, you definitely...
Wait, did you take it?
- Okay, I was kidding. I was only seven.
- It was still missing.
- Hey, you remember when Mom and Dad got a,
a flat tire over there?
- Yeah, and they had...
- She made us change it.
- Yeah, they had us change it.
We didn't know what we were doing.
- We got it done.
- You remember when uh,
what actually happened, though?
That's where I met my wife.
- That's right.
- Yeah, we didn't have a jack.
- And she stopped by, gave us the jack.
- She gave us the jack.
- You met here, and you just couldn't get
a solid sentence out.
- Oh my God, man. Wait.
I'm Alex, oh.
Come on, man.
- You know, I get goosebumps.
I remember like it was yesterday.
She had a, a yellow sundress.
With her beautiful brunette hair and
she had this, this...
This...
white pearl necklace,
and these red boots with
these like thick heels on them.
And the most infectious
smile I've ever seen.
You know, the first time I
looked at her I knew that,
I knew that I would marry her.
I knew that
I would have a family with her.
You know I love you, Johnny.
I love you a lot.
And I'm so proud of you and
the man that you've become.
- Okay, Mister Serious.
- Listen, man, I'm not gonna
always be here to protect you.
And, uh,
I just want you to trust your instincts.
And if there is ever a big decision
that you gotta make, sleep on it.
Don't be afraid to fail.
I'm proud of you.
I'm so proud of you, man.
- I love you.
- I'm supposed to be the one hugging you.
I love you, all right?
- I love you too.
- I, I got something for you.
- What did you spend money on this time?
- I got something for you.
- Oh, man.
- Hold on, it's good.
It's real good.
- Where do you get all this money from?
No way.
- Okay, attention Jonathan P. Walker.
- No.
No, no.
- Yes. - No.
- No.
No.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Dear Mr. Walker.
Congratulations!
Yeah! Yes!
It is with great pleasure
that we offer you admission
to the Stanford University masters program.
- Okay, keep going, keep going!
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- Your unique applications
and remarkable storytelling
has convinced us that you have...
- Get it out, get it out.
- The aptitude, intellectual frequency
and talent to forge at Stanford.
You were selected among
the 30,000 applications
to receive this year.
We look forward to your contribution
to the university and society.
- Yes!
You got in, you got in!
- I did, I did.
- I'm so proud. I'm so proud of you.
Oh, I'm so proud of you!
I'm so proud of you.
You know what?
We're not sleeping in the van tonight.
We're getting a hotel.
Come on, let's go. Close up, come on.
- Oh, hey, welcome to the Dahlonega Inn.
Hi, how are you?
- Not bad, not bad.
So you guys got a reservation?
No, we don't.
- Mm, okay, okay.
So you want a room for an hour, 30 minutes?
You know, some people
don't even take 30 minutes.
I've seen people in and out in like 10.
So if you slide me a quick 20,
I'll get you in 15 for 20.
- It's a room for my brother and I so
the night will be fine. - Oh.
Oh, my bad.
So sorry about that.
Let's just act like that never happened.
Please don't tell HR.
My mom's been kinda
PMSing and she will fire me
if I get in trouble again because
honestly, I haven't really been the best.
But I'll get you a good room.
I'll get you a good
room, don't worry about it.
I'll get you the best room we got.
Oh, oh shit.
I'll be right back. I don't
know where the key is.
What do you think you're
in, a Tarantino movie?
Since when did you start smoking?
- What? Oh, I uh...
I didn't even realize I was smoking.
I do look cool, though, right? - What?
Like a '90s flick?
- Yeah, I mean, but, I
mean who grabs a cigarette,
lights it and forgets that they're smoking?
Nobody.
- Say no to drugs.
I'm glad you got my bags. It's Room 109.
Come on.
Oh yeah, keep it up.
Oh, I'm gonna drop it.
Yeah, ah.
- This looks cozy.
- Yeah, at least we'll be
able to stretch a little bit.
Sh sh, sh sh.
I'm gonna come.
Oh, bloody hell. Oh.
- And they're done.
- Well hey, I'm gonna take a shower.
- Knock yourself out.
- Haven't seen you write
in that journal in a while.
What are you writing about?
- You know, just stuff.
Life beyond life. Observations.
Family.
- Yeah, that shower felt good.
- I bet. You took long enough.
You probably took all the hot water.
- Yeah, because the baby wipes don't work.
- I got to thinking.
Do you resent me for
making us live in that van?
You know, I can't shake
this thought that sometimes
good people make bad choices
but it doesn't mean they're a bad person.
- Why would I resent you?
You're my big brother.
I know you would always
do what's best for us and
plus, you want me to focus on school
and you don't want me working, so
I just thought us being in
the van was just a sacrifice.
You're like Hitachi like
that, always thinking ahead.
Plus,
we got a roof over our
head, food in our stomach.
I say we're doing okay.
And you always have money.
Not a lot, but money.
- Thank you, sasuke
Stop watching my pockets.
- Uh-huh.
All right, I'm gonna go
- enjoy this spa like shower.
- It did feel nice man.
Shower you're gloating about.
- Go enjoy yourself.
I'm gonna rest, man. I'm tired.
- Who is that love?
- I don't have time for that right now.
Nobody important.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He just one of my fuck boys from school.
I'm literally so out of his league.
But he's just fun for now, an experiment.
Well I've gotta get going, love.
That was lovely, by the way.
- Ditto.
So where's your wife at?
I haven't seen her at school.
- My wife is coming
home from Phoenix so.
- So sweet.
- Same time next week, right?
- That's right, same as always.
- I'm gonna leave you
a little, you know, extra.
- Extra is always nice.
It is, isn't it?
Here we go.
Right there.
- Thank you, Professor.
- Next week.
- Of course.
- Shit, shit, shit. - What a strumpet.
- Fuck this.
What are you doing? What's the matter?
- I just called Julie.
Her phone rang in the next door.
I heard another man's voice.
I think she's a prostitute,
a fucking hooker!
- Sh.
I love you.
You're not gonna like
what I'm about to tell you.
Sit down.
Sit down.
What I'm about to tell you is the truth,
and it'll do you well in life.
That girl doesn't owe you anything.
You guys went on one date.
No boundaries have been set.
You haven't claimed each other.
You guys are just
getting to know each other.
You know that feeling
you're feeling right now?
Learn to control it.
Because once you do, it's
a powerful, powerful weapon
if you can control that
anger you have right here.
- What am I supposed to do?
I like her.
I thought she was the one.
- You thought she was
the one after one date?
I mean, what you guys talk about?
Hot dogs and Cheetos and what
you're gonna name your kids?
- I don't really get a
chance like that, Alex.
We live in a van.
All I do is go to school,
eat, hang out with you
and that's it.
What else do I do?
She's been part of my life
the majority of my college days.
And now she's...
- You know,
Mom used to be a prostitute.
- Hm?
- Don't judge that girl.
Because you don't know
what she's going through
and you don't know what she's doing.
Mom used to do the same thing.
Would you think of Mom that way?
- No, of course not.
- Of course not. One day,
she's gonna be a mom.
Truth be told, we're all a
buncha hoes anyways.
The only difference is you know
when we do it, we're pimps.
But, that's just life. It's nature.
We're made to breed.
- Speak for yourself, old man.
I just got accepted to Stanford.
- I'm gonna be the best doctor there is!
See, we're not even worried about that.
You just got accepted to Stanford.
We just got accepted to Stanford.
I'm gonna go finish, you
know, getting ready for bed.
Get the bed ready and
go lay down, all right?
- Hey. - Huh?
- I couldn't have done that without you.
- Yeah, you could've.
- Night night, Daddy.
- Good night, Princess.
Get you some rest, okay?
- Okay.
- Come on to bed, love.
- Love you.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
- See ya later Jim.
Hi, Dave.
- Now, hair of the dog.
Shit.
- Time to wake up!
Come on, Princess, it's time
to wake up and get ready.
There's a beautiful
day ahead of us, let's go.
Get up.
- What time did you wake
up? Don't you have work today?
- Oh, I didn't tell, I forgot
to tell you. I got fired.
- What?
- Yeah, don't worry about
that. Let me handle that.
Get up, get ready, because I have a gift
that's waiting for you.
- Mind if I take a shower?
- Princess, the shower is waiting for you.
As you can tell, I'm already dressed.
- Okay. - Let's go.
- Hey, um, is it a good
idea for you to buy me a gift?
- I'm gonna be in the lobby.
They have fresh oatmeal.
No bananas, which kinda
sucks but they got Frescas.
- Great.
- You let me handle the finances.
- I haven't seen you
without your necklace before.
- You what? Oh.
I probably just forgot it
in my bag or something.
I'll get it later.
- All right.
- Now this gift I got you is special.
- Mr. Walker, welcome back. Right on time.
- How you doing?
- Well, good to see you.
- Is this the young man? - It is.
- How you doing, Ryan.
- Oh, Johnny.
- Pleasure to meet you, Johnny.
I've got something for you.
Thank you.
Is this the surprise
you were talking about?
- Let me know what you think of that.
- Ooh, this looks good.
Ooh, you like that red vest over there?
- What?
- Yeah, yeah, this looks good, uh?
- Yeah.
That's great, man.
The blue, are you sure?
- Try this on. - Yeah.
- Looking sharp. - Wow.
- Oh wow, that looks really good.
You did really good, Ryan.
- Feels good, Alex.
-Thank you. I'm a man of my craft.
- Okay.
- All right, take it off. How
much do we owe you?
- Well, typically I
don't do this, but just,
considering your accomplishments
here and what you've got
planned for your
future, I'd like to give you
all the house discount.
So, in total, that'll be $1,200.
- All right, we'll take it.
Excellent, I'll get that ready for you.
- $1,200?
- Yes, sometimes you have
to stop worrying about money.
- Can you even aff...
Where did you get...
- Thank you very much. - Appreciate it.
- This is yours. - Thank you.
- I'll get this sorted out.
Carry this.
Come on. Have a good day, Ryan.
- You as well. - Thank you.
You too.
- Hey, what was that?
Where'd you get all that money from?
- Don't worry about it.
Hey!
- What the fuck is this?
No, wait, stop! Help, let go of me!
Get your ass in the car.
Let go of me! Somebody help!
Shut the fuck up, bitch!
Please help!
- Oh shit. Hurry up, get in the car.
- Alex, Alex!
- Johnny, hurry up.

Hey, how you doing today, Officer?

traffic laws back there.
You were moving kinda funny.
You got a license? You got
a license and registration?
- I forgot my wallet at home. Pardon me.
- Is she okay. - She's fine.
- Who? - Looks like she's out.
Oh yeah.

So tired.

I can see! I can see, okay!
The officer was just doing his damn job.
- Why, why do you care
about these girls so much?
- It's not about the girl, Johnny!
It's about doing the right
thing! Didn't I teach you that?
If we don't stop these
fucking monsters right now,
this girl would never be found!
She'll be sold off as a sex slave,
and her life would never be the same!
And if she somehow makes it out of this,
she'll be ruined forever, Johnny.
Do you want that?
Do you want that?
- No. No, of course not.
But what are we gonna do?
What are we supposed to do, Alex?
Huh?

Come on, come on, come on, sit up.
Deep breaths, deep breaths.
Help us!
- On the ground! On the ground!
- Hey.
Come on, Johnny, hurry up.
You don't wanna be
late for your graduation.
- I'll be out.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Dear Johnny.
I love you, brother.
And I'm extremely proud
of you and the man that you've become.
I'm filled with gratitude,
love
and excitement
and sadness
that I won't be there for your future.
I have some things I need to tell you.
I have some explaining to do.
Promise not to be mad at me
or judge me in a way where
you hold resentment towards me.
I did everything I could for you
and some things selfishly for me.
Whatever you're doing right now,
I want you to go to Grandma's tree.
You know the one we used
to climb when we were kids.
Bring a shovel.
Facing east,
away from the pond.
Start at our hide-and-go-seek spot.
I want you to take 10
steps and start digging.
There about one foot deep,
you'll find a suitcase full of money.
And login information to
my investment accounts.
I actually invested all
my money into Tesla.
Should be worth about 20 million by now.
It will pay for your college
and allow you to live
the best life possible.
I know you're gonna make us proud.
I know you're wondering
why did we live in the van
and struggle for those
years if we didn't have to.
Let me explain.
I haven't been the same since
my wife and our parents died.
I couldn't get past it.
This man, Donald Harrison, was still alive.
And by the time you're
reading this, he won't be.
Every day that they weren't here,
hurt,
in a way that I can't describe.
So a few years ago I
decided, I was gonna kill him.
I figured if we lived off the
grid and I waited a few years,
I wouldn't be a suspect.
And neither would you.
I shot him last night.
He was intoxicated,
and he was about to drive.
Maybe I saved someone else.
Maybe I didn't.
But either way I can go
to sleep with no regret.
My only regret is that
I won't see you anymore.
When we found out about you
getting into Stanford's medical program.
I've never been happier in my life.
I'm so proud of you.
I know Mom and Dad are smiling.
I can't wait to see them.
I did some bad things in my life.
And I hope that my sins
will be forgiven with you.
I have a feeling my time is coming.
I just wanna leave you with
a few more bits of knowledge,
as I won't be able to
give it to you anymore.
Make decisions that will
leave your conscience clean,
because the weight eventually
takes over as you mature.
Love and continue to love.
Don't allow the hurt of
relationships and failure stop
you from enjoying life...
and loving those around you.
Life is about the seconds.
I knew what I was doing,
and what I was planning.
I'm sorry I kept you in the dark.
I knew selfishly that
having us live in the van
would allow me to spend as
much time with you as possible.
I knew that I was going
to end up dead, or in jail.
I don't regret those nights
of us talking and laughing
and just being brothers.
Those are my best memories,
and I hope they hold a
place in your heart as well.
Be present with the ones you love
and the places you see.
We're older a lot longer than we are young.
Enjoy your youth
and enjoy the experiences to come.
I love you, Johnny.
And remember, it's like Dad used to say.
Always smile.
Love, your big brother,
Alex Walker.
