(mellow upbeat music continues)
[Billy] Mr. Myers, really?
[Cathy] Yes, Mr. Myers.
I think he's a pretty good
teacher and I do like biology.
[Billy] Don't you
think he talks too much?
He just goes on and on and
like, kinda makes me dizzy.
[Cathy] I don't mind watching
him talking and talking.
[Billy] Oh, what now?
You think he's good looking?
[Cathy] I never thought of that before,
but you know, yeah, I also
think he's good looking.
[Billy] What? Oh, come on.
You know, the other day
he was talking about
beluga whales migrating
and I think I was just thinking
he kind of looks like a beluga whale.
Mr. Myers looks like a beluga whale?
Yeah, with like, his big forehead.
- Are you jealous?
- What? No. No.
No, I, not in a million years.
Speaking of a million years,
um, have you decided where
you're going to college yet?
Is engineering still your thing?
Yeah. No, I mean, I
love math and numbers.
I mean, you know this.
I just, I know that you don't like math.
It's not that I don't like math.
I, I'm just not that into numbers.
What's wrong with numbers?
Nothing. Math is just predictable.
Words are different. They
can change the world.
- Really?
- Yes.
Martin Luther King, Gandhi,
they all changed the world
with their speeches and ideas.
It's, that's convincing.
I can see why you wanna be a lawyer.
Thank you very much.
But hey, you know, like
math can change the world.
- Really?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, E equals MC squared.
Touche, but that
equation does have letters.
Always advocating.
I mean, you know, I'm pretty sure
you're gonna convince these
Columbia University folks
to just give you a scholarship
like that. (Fingers snap)
You think so?
Yeah. Get ready to go to New York.
(chuckles) What about you?
Well, my top picks are
Cornell and, uh, Columbia.
- What? New York, too?
- Yeah.
[Cathy] I love it.
Look at us, both of us going to New York.
That's right. (Chuckles)
What a great coincidence.
Both of us ending up in the same college.
(sentimental music)
I mean, it's not really a coincidence.
I chose New York because-
Because?
[Billy] Because, uh,
you know, we've been friends
since like, forever and
- Since kindergarten.
- Yeah.
And, and, and look the and the truth is,
The truth is?
(sentimental music)
I always liked you.
I always liked you too, Billy.
No, I, I don't mean as a friend. Okay?
- Me neither.
- What?
(sentimental music)
(water gurgling)
Oh. Okay, look, I
- I?
- I mean,
what I mean is
Keep going. You're doing great.
Look, I, what I mean
is I always liked you.
And, okay, look, I, I was
thinking about something
and it's just something.
No feeling, I was feeling something
and I feel like if I
just don't tell you now,
I, maybe I'll never get another chance.
Go on, you're doing good.
(sentimental music)
(sighs) I always liked you
and what I mean is I always
wanted you to be my girl.
Like, like for real. There it is, okay.
And yes, I was jealous of Mr. Myers.
Ha! I knew it.
I, by the way, I don't
think he's attractive.
I was just teasing you to
see if you would get jealous.
And he does look like a beluga whale.
(chuckles) Yeah. So?
So, I've always been
in love with you, Billy,
since kindergarten.
Can you imagine?
Can you count the math
of how long that is?
(sentimental music)
Will you use your words to convince me?
There are moments that don't need words.
(sentimental music)
- Shall we kiss then?
- I guess. (Chuckles)
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
How are we gonna do this?
Like, we've been friends forever.
I, what if it's weird? And what if
Just close your eyes.
(sentimental music)
How was that?
No words? Okay.
(sentimental music)
(both chuckling)
(sentimental music continues)
Taekwondo, man.
You've seen them legs
flying, like razor blades.
Ain't nothing you can do about it.
In the blink of an eye,
they'll blow your head up
with just one roundhouse kick.
Okay, yeah, but you've seen
a Taekwondo fighter throwing punches.
It's not nearly as
powerful as boxing, okay.
Look, look, let's be real.
Boxing is the all time
most famous martial art.
If you put someone like, like Muhammad Ali
against like one of your,
your famous Taekwondo masters,
they're not gonna stand a chance.
Look, I don't even think they'd
last more than two rounds
with someone like Mike Tyson.
You guys forgetting something here?
Talking about combining all of it.
Taekwondo's quick leg moves
and boxing's strong
punches, that's Kung Fu.
Not to mention the Legend
of Legends, Bruce Lee.
All right, you guys, first off,
you all know I'm a big fan of Bruce Lee.
Yeah, he the goat.
Yeah, true that.
But today I'd like to see anybody
face the most efficient martial
art, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
It's not about strength,
it's about leverage.
If a guy who does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
throws you on the ground, you're done.
In seconds, he'll have your arm in a lock
ready to snap it like a
twig if you don't tap out.
If you disagree with me, of course,
I'd be happy to demonstrate it here.
Right here, right now.
- Hmm, I might be up for it.
[Gang Member] Wait, don't
you have a date tonight, Brady?
Yeah. So?
Are you sure you wanna get your face
all bruised up before that?
(Brady scoffs)
So what?
It'll be just one more train wreck,
just like all of his other dates.
Man, it wasn't my
fault the food was bad.
- The food was bad?
- Yeah.
So the lunatic here takes this girl out
on a first date to Joanne's.
Halfway through dinner, I
start sweating like a pig.
I's got food poisoning.
My stomach starts rolling,
I knows I'm gonna be sick.
I looks around trying
to find the restroom,
but it was all so fast
I couldn't even get up.
Threw up right there on the
table in front of everybody.
(others snickering)
It gets better.
My date gets so embarrassed,
she stands up and leaves.
And as she's about to get out the door,
I's like, "Wait, aren't
we gonna split the bill?"
(other laughing)
(apprehensive music)
Hey, talking about bad dates,
isn't that Billy from school?
Yeah, I've known him for a little while.
He's a bit of a nerd, though.
His dad and my dad used to
work together back in the day.
They ruled the goddamn street in Compton.
But then his dad found a girlfriend,
got married, fell in love and then quit.
He said he wanted to do
things right from then on.
He's a bit of a loser, though.
(scoffs) Just like his son.
A dork like him dating a girl like her?
Makes no sense to me.
Why don't we introduce
him to the Wildfire Gang?
Yeah, let's go see what they're up to.
(apprehensive music)
(both chatting faintly)
You'd really like Gordon, my friend.
(gentle tense music)
Hey, Knuckles.
What's up, Billy? Been a while.
Yeah, it has been.
(foreboding music)
Why are you in such a hurry?
Don't you wanna party with us over here?
Nah, it's, it's okay. We got,
we got plans tonight, guys.
If he wants to go, maybe
you can stay with us.
Leave me alone.
Hey man, we don't
want any trouble, okay.
Or what? What are you gonna do, huh?
[Cathy] Get a life! Hey, let go!
(punch thuds)
(dramatic foreboding music)
No. (Whimpers) Billy!
(punch thuds)
(dramatic foreboding music)
Grab him. Get the girl.
[Cathy] No, please! (Whimpering)
- Beat him up!
- Let him go!
- Beat him up.
- Five against one, cowards!
- Punch him!
- Cowards!
(glasses cracking)
- Break his face.
- No!
(others laughing)
- Break his face!
- No, please!
[Gang Member] Punch him in the face.
(punches thudding)
- [Billy] Let go of her!
[Cathy] No!
- Beat him more!
- Don't. Please, stop!
- Kick him.
- Yeah!
- Woo!
- Don't ever
mess with us again.
(gang members chattering)
Wildfire.
(gravel skittering)
(member spits)
[Cathy] You're disgusting.
- Badass-
- Get away from him!
Billy, it's gonna be okay.
Take you home.
(Billy moaning)
We're gonna get to New York.
(dramatic foreboding music)
(dramatic foreboding music swells)
There you are.
(water splashing)
(sighs) Careful, okay.
- Cathy?
[Cathy] Careful. Let me just close it.
[Martha] Bilio! Billy.
Let's go to the couch, okay.
Bilio. (Speaking in foreign language).
Bilio.
- Okay go.
[Martha] What happened?
Oh, it's nothing really, Mom.
I was, I was texting and
going down the school stairs
and I tripped and fell.
- You tripped and fell?
- Yeah.
You know I get distracted with texting
and you know, you call me
out on, on that all the time.
Bilio, it looks like you
got hit by a, by a truck.
What, what kind of stairs
did that to your face?
(speaking in foreign language)
I don't know, Mom.
I just, I think I fell, I
guess I fell face first.
- Face first?
- Yeah.
[Martha] I think you lying
to me. That's what I think.
I'm gonna get some paper.
What? No, no, Mom.
(footsteps plodding)
Mom!
- Okay, listen,
this I fell because I was
texting sounds more fake
than I'm gonna play video
games for 15 minutes.
Tell me what happened.
[Billy] Mom, let it go.
Let it go? You think
that this is a kid's movie?
This is a serious matter
and I wanna get to the bottom of it.
Spit it out, both of you.
We gotta tell her the truth, Billy.
I'm waiting.
(gentle troubling music)
It was Knuckles and his Wildfire Gang.
They ganged up on us and Billy
had to do something about it.
I knew it. Knuckles, huh?
The fruit never fells far from the tree.
Come on, Mom. It was nothing.
Nothing? Bilio, they
could have killed you.
A little bit more beating,
God knows if you'd be
standing in this kitchen.
Someone needs to stop these bullies.
I'm gonna talk to your father about it.
No, please. Don't bother dad with this.
He's busy at work.
Sorry, honey.
He needs to know what his
friend's son is doing.
They're not even friends anymore.
Then, all the more reason.
(upbeat lively music)
(both speaking in foreign language)
Chef, (speaking in foreign language).
(Marcus speaking in foreign language)
(owner speaking in foreign language)
(Marcus speaking in foreign language)
(owner speaking in foreign language)
(Marcus speaking in foreign language)
(both speaking in foreign language)
(lively upbeat music)
- How are you, Ricky?
- Morning, man.
Here you are.
Excellent.
Brazilian barbecue is very simple, okay.
I brought you here two cuts.
So rib eye, very soft, it's
gonna melt in your mouth.
It's also a very popular meat.
This one here, though, is the picanha.
It's the most traditional cut in Brazil.
So I want to, the
simplicity is the key here.
So we're just gonna do
a little sea rock salt.
All right.
Okay, to bring out the flavor.
So now please have a try.
(upbeat lively music)
It's wonderful.
- I knew it.
- God sent.
[Marcus] It's a very
special dish. Very simple.
(phone vibrating)
Second here.
Sir, can I get this call here?
- Yeah, um-hm.
- Second.
(gentle tense music)
Hey, honey. What's the matter?
(tense music)
Um-hm. Um-hm.
All right. Yeah, I'm on my way home, okay.
I'll be there in 10 minutes.
Ah, I'm sorry. We have to
move this meeting, okay.
I have a little bit of
an emergency here. Okay?
- It's okay.
- I need to handle that.
Go, go, go help your family, man.
Whatever it takes.
- All right, sir.
- Okay, don't worry.
[Marcus] We'll talk soon, okay?
Hope things improve, okay?
- All right. Thank you.
- Sounds good.
[Marcus] Talk to you tomorrow.
(gentle foreboding music)
(Martha sobbing)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
(Martha sobbing)
(apprehensive music)
I'm here, okay.
(gentle apprehensive music)
Why? Why they, they did this to him?
Billy is such a nice person.
He would, he would never hurt anybody.
Cowards! Bullies!
Bastards! (Speaking in foreign language)
They, (sniffling) they
beat him up for no reason.
I don't know what else can
happen. I'm so nervous.
Drink this, here,
Take, take this, drink this. Go on.
Listen. For now, take him to the hospital
and you have him checked for bruises
and make sure he doesn't
have a concussion, okay.
And don't worry, I'll handle this.
Not to rest until we have it settled.
It's all right.
What happened today won't
be unnoticed, all right?
Billy must know it, it wasn't right
and these boys must be
held accountable for it.
I owe it to Bill and
I owe it to you, okay.
- Okay.
- So now where is Bill?
(tense suspenseful music)
He's (sniffles) laying on the couch.
Yeah, okay. All right,
I wanna go see him, okay.
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic tense music swells)
Hey, Billy.
- Hey, Dad.
[Marcus] How you doing?
Fine, Dad. It's all good?
Yeah. Yeah.
It's gonna be all good
once we take care of this.
How many were them? How
bad did they get you?
Seriously, Dad? Don't
wanna worry you about this.
I, I'm sorry it happened. Okay?
I'm just, fine.
Well, if you're as fine
as you're saying you are,
can you take this ice bag
so I have a look at you?
Uh, I'd rather not.
Billy, take the ice bag off.
I want to see you.
But, Dad, I
Do it, vamoosh.
All right.
(suspenseful music)
That son of a bitch.
Dad, I don't wanna bother you with this.
Don't worry, son. I'll
take care of this, all right.
You get some rest for now.
Love you. (Hand patting)
(suspenseful music)
(faint chattering on TV)
[Billy] Love you, too.
I love this bike.
When's it gonna be ready?
Couple weeks.
You said that before.
It's a lot of work.
I trust you.
You think it'll make it cross country?
- For sure.
- Uh-huh. All right.
Don't paint it again.
Black's my favorite color.
Sounds good.
(phone tone beeps)
(door squeaks)
Look, I get your point,
but here's the deal.
You join forces with us now,
but there might not be
another opportunity.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, call me back when
you change your mind.
Never been used, 500.
You can find this on
the street for $300.
It's okay.
How's your life going, Jerry?
You still got that problem?
No, no. I've been doing okay, Boss.
Clean for about two months now.
- Yeah.
- I'm just focusing
on my family now.
We just had a baby girl.
Give him the 500.
I truly appreciate it, Boss.
Take good care of your daughter now.
Yeah, I will. I will.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music swells)
(motorcycle engine revving)
Okay, listen up. I know.
I know I can find the
gun cheaper elsewhere.
That's not the point.
That man needs help to
get back up on his feet.
I know what he's going through.
'cause I've been there.
You see before I had this business,
I was just like somebody helped me out.
Sometimes all you need is a little push.
I can relate to that.
And anything I can do to help somebody,
it makes me feel good.
So why not give him a hand, huh?
You're right, Boss. Sorry,
I couldn't see the way.
All good, all good.
(hand slaps) Let's get back to work.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Hi, baby.
- Oh hi, baby.
- How are you?
- I'm better seeing you.
- Aw.
- Mm, I miss you.
- I miss you.
- How you doing, babe?
- I'm good.
- Yeah?
[Wife] Estelle and I
are gonna go shopping.
- Okay?
- Can I take one of the cars?
[Borba] Sure, honey. No problem.
Anything you want. What else?
[Wife] Do you have any extra cash?
I do. Here you go.
All for you.
- Thank you, baby.
- You're welcome.
[Both] Muah.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
[Borba] What's for dinner tonight?
What do you want?
Pizza'd be great.
- You got it.
- All right, I love you.
- I love you too.
- Have fun. Okay, bye.
Hey, baby. What about us, baby?
Don't call me baby.
Why not gonna call you baby?
Then, what am I gonna call you, baby?
I'm not your baby, okay?
Aw, come on baby. I'll
do anything you want.
I'll buy anything you
want; A car, a house.
All you have to do,
give me a chance, baby.
Look, just leave me alone.
Aw, come on, baby.
Some of these days
you're gonna come around
and I'm gonna give you
everything you want.
You're gonna be my baby. Right, baby?
(gentle tense music)
(heels clicking)
Wow, I've never seen someone
say baby so many times.
Boss, your son's here to see you.
Whoa, what the hell happened there?
You should see the other guy.
I'm listening. The story better be good.
(gentle foreboding music)
(water dripping)
(gentle foreboding music)
Well, I ran into this
guy and his girlfriend,
so I asked them to hang out with us.
They were such losers.
They turned us down.
So then my friend goes
and tries to talk to
his girl, gets punched.
So knowing me, I go in
and try to break up the
fight, I get punched.
Things escalate a little bit
and then my guys were all over him.
They beat him up and then we left.
- Okay?
- And there's one more
small thing.
- What?
[Knuckles] That guy,
that guy's name is Billy.
What? Billy?
As in Marcus's son?
Yeah. Yeah.
Why'd you do this, boy?
You know his dad was my partner?
You guys were friends
when you were little.
He's a good kid. What the?
Sorry, Dad, things got
a little outta control.
At one point, we were just talking
and then next thing I
know, Billy's on the floor
and my guys are kicking and punching him.
There was nothing I could do.
Yeah, I know exactly how
they are, a bunch of scumbags.
A house plant has a higher
IQ than them combined.
I don't get why you
still hang out with them.
(water dripping)
They're my, they're my gang, you know?
I'm nothing without them.
Yeah, I for one think
you could do better.
(water dripping)
Pick some friends that
won't give me a headache.
Now I'm gonna have to deal with this!
I know his dad well.
You think because he quit the business
that he's gotten soft.
The man was brutal, unstoppable, ruthless.
I'm sure he still is.
I always felt sorry for
anyone that crossed his way
and now you just made me one of them.
On the other hand, he
also knows my reputation.
So come as it may, I'm ready for whatever.
Maybe, maybe he's changed.
Maybe he'll just shake things off
and move on.
(phone ringing)
(dramatic foreboding music)
Really? Marcus, long
time no speak, my friend.
What's up with you?
Wait, don't tell me. You wanna
come back to the business.
I knew it, man. I told you
one day you'd wanna come back.
Cut the crap, Borba. You
know why I'm calling you.
What? That little
misunderstanding between our sons?
You call that a misunderstanding?
Let me tell you what
a misunderstanding is.
If I invite you for dinner
and you show up six hours earlier
thinking I invited you for
lunch, that's a misunderstanding.
If you go to a coffee shop,
you order a cappuccino
and they give an iced tea,
that's a misunderstanding
and a pretty bad one.
But if your son approach my
son, harass his girlfriend
and gangs up on him
with his scumbag friends
and turn his face into a punching bag,
that's not a misunderstanding.
That's a screw up, Borba.
Okay, I hear you. It was a screw up.
But hey, it's water under
the bridge now, it's over.
It was just a fight, okay,
I'll tell you what,
I'll pay for any hospital
bills you guys got on this.
How about that?
It's not about money. They
did much more than beat him up.
They broke his spirit.
That's the worst thing you
can do to a kid his age.
And I won't let this happen to my son.
I want you to fix this
and you know how to do it.
Come on, man. You're
taking this too far.
We all screw up sometimes.
You know, you and I have
done way worse than that.
And that's exactly
why I left the business.
I wanted my son to grow
up with different values.
I don't want him to grow up to be like
any of you douche bags.
Okay, Marcus, I wanted
play nice with you.
Let's be real. You know who I am.
I'm a gangster. I've
always been a gangster.
That's just how we roll. Same with my son.
He's kind of got that mentality, you know.
We're tough and we play rough.
I'm sorry your kid's not into it,
but that's the way the real world is, man.
(dramatic foreboding music)
(water dripping)
Your kid saw mine with his guys.
He punched him in the face.
He knew the consequences.
He did it anyway.
It was inevitable. What do you
want me to do about it, huh?
You know we can settle
this the right way.
I'm sorry, man.
If you can't get over it,
you can't get over it.
So these are your final words?
No, these are. Kiss my ass!
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(dramatic music fades)
Marcus, my man.
Good to see you, Doug.
Good to see you.
It's been a while. Please sit.
You met my daughter Vida, right? Hmm?
Vida? Whoa, you've grown a lot.
Last time you saw her, she was this big.
You could hold her in one hand.
She just graduated.
She's helping me with some
responsibilities round.
Way to go, Vida.
But listen, if he gets too tough on you,
just let me know, okay?
(Vida laughs)
You kidding me?
She's tougher than some
of the fighters I manage.
Don't listen to him.
He gets easily impressed
with my jiu-jitsu skills.
- So you're a fighter too?
- Yep.
I also hear you're a good one, Marcus.
I'm glad to take you on the dojo anytime.
(chuckles) Well, I'll
leave you both to it.
- Thank you, Vida.
- Thank you.
(footsteps plodding)
(upbeat music)
Wanna see some of my toys?
Let's go.
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
That's impressive.
Over 600 horsepower.
This goes faster than a
roadrunner with a jet pack.
I bet it does, man.
A big difference for
my old Impala, isn't it?
I remember that one.
We would have to jump start
it every morning, remember?
And we would get zapped every single time.
Yeah. (Laughs)
Did you remember when we had
to push it to the mechanic
and the wheel fell off?
Oh my god, yeah. Yes.
Oh, man, but look at you now, man.
You've come a long way, Doug.
Yeah, I have because of you.
Nobody's self-made.
I wanted to show you all of this stuff,
because you helped me realize my dream.
We stand on the shoulders
of the people who helped us.
I'm standing on your shoulders.
(gentle uplifting music)
Thank you.
All this is fun stuff,
But family's more important.
Let's go talk some business.
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(dramatic music swells)
Marcus, I understand
you need my help, man.
You tell me you wanna
get back into business.
- On the contrary.
- Tell me.
[Marcus] It's Borba.
What did he do now?
Borbas's son, Knuckles,
him and his friends ganged up on my son.
They hurt him pretty badly. Those cowards.
That's not right.
You're damn right it's not right.
So I called Borba
and I asked him to settle
in the correct way.
What'd he say?
He refused.
So I'm going to correct it in my way.
As you should.
(birds chirping)
(water gurgling)
It may sound like I'm
being over emotional,
but I have to stand up for my son now.
You're family.
You had my back. I've got yours.
All the fighters that I
represent, you introduced me to
and now they've got your back too.
Sometimes we fight in the ring.
Sometimes the fight meets
us outside of the ring.
It's all about how we handle it.
Let me make a couple
phone calls, all right?
We'll take care of your son. I got you.
All right?
- All right.
Hey, by the way, can I take the Ferrari?
Don't push your luck.
