Tonya?
Yep.
What's, what's this?
Oh, sorry, just put it behind my seat. Thanks.
Yeah, sure.
No problemo.
So.
How's your night going?
Good.
You?
[laughs]
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
You, you, you married?
We'll just keep that my little secret.
[laughs]
I like that. Secret lady.
Very funny.
It's not too far from here.
You could've just walked.
Why walk?
When I can ride in style.
With you.
Your destination is on the right.
So, you wanna take a
break and maybe have a drink?
No thanks, I'm good.
Oh, not good enough for you, huh?
I see.
Secret pretty lady.
You have a good night too, huh?
[]
[laughs]
Back for more?
[laughs]
You loved it.
Jeez.
That I did to you.
Look what you did to me, you bitch!
[vomit]
Cocksucker.
Bitch!
[phone ringing]
Unbelivable.
You booty calling me Marty?
Baby, would I ever-
Driver available.
No passenger requests.
[phone ringing]
Damn it.
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Calling back. I knew you would.
The usual? Your place?
That's right.
Hey, you sound-
[]
Come on.
[phone ringing]
So are you on the way?
Yeah, Marty, why?
Why? Because you hung up on me.
That's why.
How long?
I'll be there when I get there.
You'll be there when you're there.
What is that even-
[]
Go!
Are you coming in?
Tonya?
What are you doing?
I'm thinking.
Thinking.
About what?
Everything.
Are we really doing that again?
Yeah, Marty, we're doing that again.
Right.
Come in when you're ready, dear.
[]
[phone ringing]
Tonya, why did you leave?
You know why.
How much money did you
take out of my wallet?
Yeah, I'll pay you back.
How much?
I don't know, a hundred bucks.
You sure about that?
Are you?
Look, I don't care about the money.
Just tell me why you leave.
Am I so bad?
No, Marty, you're not that bad.
Passenger waiting.
Shit, I gotta go.
You're still smoking.
I could smell it on you.
I thought we weren't
gonna do that anymore.
Gotta go, Marty.
Bye.
[phone ringing]
Yep.
You owe me an answer, Tonya.
I told you already, a hundred bucks.
No.
I'm talking about the apartment.
Well?
I don't know. I'm thinking about it.
Baby, listen to me.
I'll get you a new car.
I'll get you out of that drug mobile.
I'll let you keep the driving gig.
Just take the apartment.
Move into the apartment.
It'll be so good. We'll be happy there.
It'll be good for us.
Yeah, you'll let me.
You know what I mean. Come on.
I can take care of myself, Marty.
Remember I was in the military.
Fifteen years ago, kiddo.
Yeah.
Your destination is on the right.
Come on. stop being so difficult.
Bye, Marty.
Tonya?
Yep.
Drive.
I don't carry cash.
Just drive.
Okay. Where?
Just. Drive.
Okay.
[]
Give me your phone.
I'm not gonna ask again.
Give me your phone.
Hey, that's a thousand bucks.
Give me out of town. I'll
give you three of those.
How about I drop you
off and we call it a night?
How about I shoot you and take your car?
Understand?
-Yeah.
-Yeah, what?
Yes. I understand.
How far will that much gas take us?
I don't know.
Ninety, a hundred miles.
You're good. Keep heading east.
Drive carefully. Do
anything to get us pulled over.
[phone ringing]
I'll kill you.
Fountains.
You've got some balls calling me "Fountains".
You despica-
Take a right into this alleyway up here.
Okay.
Here? Yeah.
Stop.
Hand me your keyes.
I'm offering you this
financial incentive for your help.
And without it, I feel I'd be less
inclined to trust your efforts.
So tonight, you work for me.
I don't want any part of this.
That's thirty grand.
Yeah, keep it.
What's your name?
Kelly.
You're no Kelly, what's your name?
Like I said, it's Kelly.
Kellies tend to be pleasers. You
don't strike me as a pleaser. Your name?
Name?
Tonya. It's Tonya, okay?
Okay.
Tonya, this is how this plays out.
This is your money. You can
do whatever you want with it.
I need to make one stop, and I need you
to get me out of town.
After that, I'll double this, and you'll
never see me again. That's sixty K.
Not bad for a night's work.
And not to be rude, but you
look like you could use it.
Yeah, says the grown man in a hoodie.
Put one of your hands
through the steering wheel.
What?
Put your hands
through the steering wheel.
I could use one of those.
[]
Hey.
Hey.
Hey. Hey!
Hey, mister! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Come here!
Hey!
Hey! Yeah!
Could you help me? Come on!
Yeah! Please!
What are you doing?
Could you help me?
Could you hurry? Come on!
Yeah!
Why are you tied up like this?
Could you please help me?
He's got a gun and he's going to be back.
Please.
You're a pretty lady.
Yeah ok. Could you help untie me please?
What's in it for me?
I've got cash.
Look! Look!
Take it!
It's yours.
Yeah? Okay!
So can you untie me now?
Hey!
Could you untie me? Please?
Come on!
You're on your own, lady.
No! No! No! No! No!
Come back!
[muffled] Motherfucker!
Come on!
Oh God.
[gun shot]
Do not do that again.
Drive.
Where are you now?
The beginning.
He will head east.
I want him alive.
It's really up to him, boss.
[clicker sound]
If he's not alive,
neither are you.
Am I clear?
Crystal.
[clicks clicker]
You heard the boss.
He wants him alive.
Yeah.
Poor little piggy.
Poor little piggy's right.
Yep. Fuck COVID.
[phone beeps]
Fly, little Butterfly.
Fly.
Why do you waste your time
with that moth of a woman?
[sighs]
Like you, my dear.
She serves a purpose.
Touching me and talking about her.
Pick which apple you bite.
I...
will bite...
whatever apple I want.
Oh.
[laughs]
Is there a problem?
Just drive.
You brought me into this.
Into what? You don't even
know what this is. Drive!
My life's on the line, too.
Yeah, well...
Well, what?
Well, I'm low on
ammunition. Do you have any?
No. Is that gonna be a problem?
Only if you want to live.
Turn left here at the light.
Go through the tunnel.
We're gonna make another stop.
[]
[phone ringing]
You lived.
Return the cash.
Make it easier on everyone.
Everyone being you?
We're gonna get to you.
Fuentes wants his money. We want our cut.
The only thing that's stopping that from
happening is you, pal.
T, you'll never see a dime.
No. He's not cooperating.
Yeah, yeah. Poor little piggy.
Hey. Hey, where you going so early?
Looking so pretty and everything.
The night's young it's-
[grunting]
[vomiting]
Well played.
Thanks.
Turn left.
Stop.
[phone ringing]
Rally calling.
Rally, are you set?
Yeah. I'm on my way to the hotel.
Any problems?
Nothing I can't handle.
You got it right?
Yeah. I got it.
You don't sound right.
Xavier.
I had a messy out.
I had to comandeer a car.
What? What the hell were you thinking?
Where are you?
I was thinking about her.
I was thinking I need to help her.
We need to help her. Okay?
I'm just--I'm making one
stop and then I'm coming to you.
Okay.
Hey.
I love you.
Yeah, I know. I love you too.
And Rally, don't be late.
Whatever. I swear.
[sighs]
Give me your keys.
Get out.
Slide across.
Put your hands together.
Look at me.
My word counts.
If I say you're gonna
make it through the night,
you're make it through the night.
I just--I can't have you doing something
stupid a second time, so you're in...
Time out.
Yeah, basically.

[gun shots]
[gun shots]
[in-audible yelling]
[gun shots]
[in-audible yelling]
[ricochets]
[glass breaks]
[phone ringing]
[phone beeps]
New voicemail.
Return my money within an hour,
or it will not end well for you
or others. There will
be a lot of screaming.
[clicks clicker]
What have you gotten me into?
I told you all you need to worry about is
getting me out of town.
Yeah, I get you out of
town, and then what--
what happens when this
Fountain person figures out
that I'm the one that helped you, huh?
Am I supposed to get out of town and then
spend the rest of my life
looking over my shoulder?
He doesn't know who you
are, and he never will.
You don't know that.
What if he figures it out, we're already
on dozens of traffic cameras,
or at least I am because I'm the one that
did most of the driving.
Okay, I'll give you an extra 20K.
You're negotiating?
I can see the money right here. It's at
least a quarter million bucks.
How about plan B, I
shoot you and take your car?
Yeah, you would have done it already.
What makes you think I still won't?
Because you gave me your word.
40K, no more negotiating.
Besides the money, we get jammed up,
don't expect my help.
Trust me, I won't.
So who was the "others" that he was talking
about? Sounds personal.
It's just talk.
If it was just talk, then why say it?
He doesn't have anything or anyone...
What? What?
He knows my sister, Rally.
Yeah, well, that would be it.
Hey.
Hey, where are you?
Listen, are you in the room?
Yeah.
Okay, listen to me very carefully. I need
you to lock your door and stay in your
room and wait for me.
Do you understand?
Rally.
Rally!
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I thought I heard
something. What did you say?
Stay...the room...for me.
Ra-
Xavier.
Rally? Rally?
[phone beeps]
Shit.
Are you there?
Xavier.
Fuck.
What you're saying is that
Xavier robbed them of ammo.
Pachino said yes.
Right.
Just clean it up.
Chino.
Yeah, man, what's up?
You want to tell me what happened again?
Bro, look, I'm sorry, bro. Like it's X, bro
he just came in and then he was gone with
the ammo and shit, bro.
I didn't mean anything about it, it was
just a bad day, bro.
No, and I'm sorry too.
I'll let you take the next one, okay?
Are you serious? There's
no reason for name calling.
So that's what we're doing now.
You happy?
[phone finish charging]
This is Rally. Leave one.
Rally, it's me. What hotel are you in?
Call me back.
[sighs]
[phone beeps]
[laughs]
[]
[phone beeps]
[phone beeps]
[phone beeps]
[phone beeps]
Well, it's time to get a drink.
This is Rally. Leave one.
Rally, I need to
know what hotel you're in.
Call me back.
Finally.
Thanks.
So this car of yours?
Yeah. What about it?
It's plated, isn't it?
Yep.
I got it at a Fed auction,
and lucky for you,
the windows are bulletproof too.
And you've just been driving people
around L.A. in this thing?
Yeah.
It's different.
So, um...
Why?
Why what?
Why'd you take all that money?
So, asshole.
I'd like to know that my
potential death has some value.
So why?
My mother.
Your mother?
Yeah, my mother got taken by some boiler
room Wall Street scam.
Bastards emptied
out her savings account.
She's a...
70-year-old
schoolteacher living on fixed income,
If she doesn't come up with
the money for a mortgage.
She's gonna be on the
street, so, that's my reason.
Your mother?
Yeah, even guys like me have mothers.
I didn't mean it like that.
And how'd you mean it?
I'm just surprised.
Surprised that I have a mother?
No, I just thought it was like...
Bitches, beaches, fast
cars, that kind of thing.
Oh, there'll be a
little left over for that.
It's not all alturistic.
[phone ringing]
Family problems, X?
You're like a bad penny.
Saw your handiwork at the warehouse.
Messy, messy.
Very, very not like you.
Well, good to know you're
still cleaning up after me.
Once a janitor, always a janitor, right?
Per usual, I took care of it.
You're losing your touch, son.
Well, I'll have a lot of time to reflect
about that on a warm beach.
What do you want?
I'm gonna offer you a solid.
You're gonna do me a solid?
You meet me down at the
4th Street Watch in thirty.
Bring the money.
We'll tell Fuentes we shot you when you
were trying to escape.
Fell into the river.
We'll even let you keep
100k for your troubles.
Wow, you'd do all that for me.
Sure, buddy.
Old time's sake.
How much is he paying
you to hunt me down?
It's a one-time offer.
How much is he paying you?
Your cut.
So my cut plus yours, you really are a
double-dipping janitor, aren't you?
Take the deal or watch your six.
Because I'm coming for you anyway.
[]
We gotta go.
Xavier, where are you?
[sliding door open]
[footsteps]
Little sister.
[yelling]
Butterfly.
So you weren't able to find them?
I received a text from Bobby O saying X
was here. He's since gone.
Yeah, I guess you
could say I'm disappointed.
Bobby O is still here. Thoughts?
Send him to the devil.
[clicks clicker]
If you don't mind me saying so, why not
just give back the money?
Have you not been paying attention to
anything that's happening?
Yeah, actually I have. And from here it
looks like you don't know how
to get me or you out of this.
Look, Tonya, you drive
professionally, I'd do this.
Shit.
Pull over.
It's okay. Just be calm, answer his
questions, but try not to say too much.
Okay.
[police radio chatter]
Evening. I'm Detective Pearson. How are
you both doing tonight?
Good, Detective. Anything wrong?
I stopped you because your tail light's
broken. Are you aware of this?
No.
Were you in an accident or...
How you doing back there, sir?
I'm doing good, Officer.
Can't really see your face.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I have photophobia. Your
lights, they bother my eyes.
Yeah, they're bright. Where
are you both headed this hour?
I'm a ride share driver and I'm taking my
passenger to his destination.
I see. And you, sir, are
you visiting from out of town?
Yes, Officer.
Business, pleasure?
That's L.A., a little bit of both.
Okay.
I'll just need to see your license and
registration for now.
Is it common for detectives
to do routine traffic stops?
Not generally.
[phone beeps]
Now what? More drama with
your little soldiers?
No.
This, my dear, is a resolution.
It seemed that our...
Pet Officer, Mr. Pearson,
has Xavier.
And for the right amount?
[laughs]
Oh, it's so good to know that there's not
a clean cop in my little town.
[laughs]
Ah, yes.
Done.
Well, where were we?
[laughs]
[phone beeps]
[]
Fuentes, bent cops and X.
What a lovely night.
[]
Do me a favor.
Exit the vehicle, I'd like to show you the
damage to your tail light.
Is that an issue?
Where'd you stay you're staying, sir?
You know what? It's fine.
Ma'am?
It's fine. Yeah, I'm good.
All right, you stay put, sir.
Looks like someone
kicked in your tail light.
Most likely kids.
How long you have the car?
I don't know, um, four or five years.
How long have you been
driving professionally?
Three years.
Sir, I'm gonna need you
to step out of the vehicle.
[knocks on window]
Yes, officer.
Why not send your men in to collect your
money, Fountains?
[laughs]
I have a much better idea.
I think I'll have Xavier put down in the
alley like the rat shit that he is.
Such a waste of time.
You must focus on collecting your money
and acorns, my cucked little boy.
Do not call me that.
No one.
No one.
Ow! Stop!
Owns my acorns, but me!
Do you understand that?
Yes.
-Do you?
-Yes, understood.
Got it.
Well, you can do a favor
for me, can't you? Come here.
Where is X?
I don't know.
Where is X?
I told you. I don't know.
Bye-bye.
[gun shot]
[gun shot]
[typing message]
[send message]
Are you still talking about that kid?
[phone beeps]
Well?
Get the money, kill them all.
[laughs]
Keep it together, buddy.
Why?
Why what?
Why'd you have to kill them?
They were two human beings! You son of a
bitch! You fucking animal!
Stop it! Hey, hey!
They were two human beings!
What's wrong with you? Why?
Stop! Stop! Tonya, stop!
Stop.
I'm gonna let go of you now, and you're
not going to hit me. Do you understand?
[car turned off]
I didn't want that to happen.
Then why?
The fact that you asked the question
tells me you'd never understand.
It's not an answer.
[]
This money...
was stolen from dirty detectives who
robbed it from drug dealers.
The the only people looking for this
money, or the type of people that would
kill you just to get it.
My former employer is one of them.
Those detectives, they were
part of the crew we robbed.
How do I know you're not lying?
Grab my phone.
We photographed them
before we robbed them.
I don't know. For personal reasons, I
guess, Fuentes told the crew to kill me.
I guess...
less people, more money to go around.
I was able to get away, and
I took the money. All of it.
They would have killed us.
Yeah.
Hey, you're bleeding.
I just need to rest.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey. Hey, don't die on me.
[phone rings]
I need your help.
I thought we agreed to stop smoking these
damn things. They will kill you.
Yeah, so will life.
Yeah. So we should help it along?
I asked you here for your help,
not your judgments, Marty.
I'll do what I can.
But then we're gonna
talk about our future.
Okay.
[phone ringing]
Yes?
X has definitely been here.
And what happened to the shields?
Cut.
[clicks clicker]
Wash it down.
I don't know what the hell that is, and I
really don't want to.
But you've got to
steer clear of this, baby.
Leave with me.
Now.
Please.
I made him a deal.
He's a criminal.
So my word means nothing now.
Your word, no word. You
gotta worry about yourself, baby.
Thanks, Marty. Once again, you've shown
me the difference between
being selfish and selfless.
Guess which one you are.
I'll ask you one last time.
Come with me now.
Move it to the apartment.
We'll be happy.
Good-bye Marty.
He belongs in a hospital.
I'll give you some painkillers.
It's the best I can do.
It was grand, kiddo.
Take care of yourself.
[]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[car pulling away]
Where are you, Butterfly?
Right where I need to be.
Some mother's kids.
No, no, no. Be nice.
Come on.
[phone ringing]
Rally calling.
Rally!
Xavier.
[laughs]
Well, I understand
that you had some
problems with the police.
Not ideal, not ideal.
Where's my sister?
Bring me my money, and you will be
reunited with your sister, and all this
will be finished tonight.
Your money?
Your pride.
It always was your biggest
weakness, and yes,
Xavier.
My. Money.
I'm not bringing you shit
till I know my sister's alright.
[clicks clicker]
Where?
Where this all began.
Where you became Judas.
Don't you put your
hands on her, you motherf--
[clicks clicker]
You need the hospital.
I'm taking you to the hospital.
Just give me some more pills.
I'm not doing this anymore.
You're going to the hospital. I don't care.
No.
This is just crazy.
I'm taking you to the goddamn hospital.
No. No.
Jesus.
Fuck.
You're not going to die on me tonight.
Stop. Please stop.
[grunts]
Why not just give him back the money and
end this right now for your sister?
The second I give him the money
he's going to
kill me, my sister, and you.
No, he said bring me my money.
He said bring me my money and this ends
tonight. He didn't say
anything about keeping us alive.
Look I know him. I know how he thinks.
I need your help.
I'm not looking over my
shoulder the rest of my life.
We give him the money.
Get my sister back.
Kill 'em all.
[]
You know how to use this?
[trunk slams]
[phone buzzes]
Where are you now?
Idaho.
Right.
Go to where this all began.
Where he became...
Judas!
[clicks clicker]
That's what I'm talking about.
I want cigarettes.
[clicks clicker]
You need to stop playing these
games with Xavier.
Just put an end to this.
[clicks clicker]
I will put an end to this when I want to.
Do you understand?
What I understand is you're about to lose
all of your men.
They can smell your weakness.
Always remember, little one,
if I lose my crown, you go down with me.
Move out.
[clicks clicker]
[]
I'm supposed to be at my niece's
birthday party today.
How old is she?
Ten.
She's gonna be ten.
It's a cool age.
Before boys and that whole mess.
Yeah.
Thanks for not killing me.
Night's not over yet.
I'm Xavier, by the way.
Xavier's are pleasers.
You don't strike me as a pleaser.
[]
Yo, big bro.
Wow, looks like somebody
had a real heavy night.
Where is my money?
Where's my sister?
[clicks clicker]
What?
No smart retort?
Oh, I'm disappointed.
You know, you got balls, Xavier.
No brain, but you got balls.
Anyone with half a
brain would have just ran,
taken the money and gone.
Oh, of course.
Your little sister.
Ooh, you got a woman
and she got a big toy.
That is so cool.
Do I intimidate you?
Oh...
Where is my money?
If I don't get my money,
you'll be able to ask
that question again,
face down on the pavement,
taking your last blood-filled breath.
Now, where is my money?
Oh, come on, that
doesn't scare me, bitch.
Huh.
[clicks clicker]
You know,
you seem to be the only
one that has balls here.
So I figured, what the hell?
Why don't I keep you alive
and then I can have you as a plaything,
you know, like a kind of toy, huh?
You the guy that put
your hands on my sister?
Yep.
I had a lot of fun with
her tight little body too.
[]
Somebody kill a son of a bitch!
God damn it.
[gun shots]
You...
You Judas.
You Judas you've killed me!
[coughs]
When you go to hell.
The devil will be
sitting there waiting for you.
And I'll be sitting next to him.
[gun shot]
[groans]
[coughs]
[coughs]
Kill me!
Do it you son of a bitch!
Do it!
Come on, you Judas, kill me!
[coughs]
[sighs]
[click clicker]
[]
Hey.
You got this, ok?
Xavier?
Hey, hey, hey.
Come on, come on.
You got this, okay?
Come on, all right?
You're good, keep breathing, you're good.
Xavier?
Xavier?
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, come on.
Come on, buddy.
Hey, come on.
You got this.
You did it.
You did it.
We did it.
[]
Tonya?
Yep.
What's, what's this?
Oh, sorry, just put it behind my seat. Thanks.
Yeah, sure.
No problemo.
So.
How's your night going?
Good.
You?
[laughs]
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
You, you, you married?
We'll just keep that my little secret.
[laughs]
I like that. Secret lady.
Very funny.
It's not too far from here.
You could've just walked.
Why walk?
When I can ride in style.
With you.
Your destination is on the right.
So, you wanna take a
break and maybe have a drink?
No thanks, I'm good.
Oh, not good enough for you, huh?
I see.
Secret pretty lady.
You have a good night too, huh?
[]
[laughs]
Back for more?
[laughs]
You loved it.
Jeez.
That I did to you.
Look what you did to me, you bitch!
[vomit]
Cocksucker.
Bitch!
[phone ringing]
Unbelivable.
You booty calling me Marty?
Baby, would I ever-
Driver available.
No passenger requests.
[phone ringing]
Damn it.
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Calling back. I knew you would.
The usual? Your place?
That's right.
Hey, you sound-
[]
Come on.
[phone ringing]
So are you on the way?
Yeah, Marty, why?
Why? Because you hung up on me.
That's why.
How long?
I'll be there when I get there.
You'll be there when you're there.
What is that even-
[]
Go!
Are you coming in?
Tonya?
What are you doing?
I'm thinking.
Thinking.
About what?
Everything.
Are we really doing that again?
Yeah, Marty, we're doing that again.
Right.
Come in when you're ready, dear.
[]
[phone ringing]
Tonya, why did you leave?
You know why.
How much money did you
take out of my wallet?
Yeah, I'll pay you back.
How much?
I don't know, a hundred bucks.
You sure about that?
Are you?
Look, I don't care about the money.
Just tell me why you leave.
Am I so bad?
No, Marty, you're not that bad.
Passenger waiting.
Shit, I gotta go.
You're still smoking.
I could smell it on you.
I thought we weren't
gonna do that anymore.
Gotta go, Marty.
Bye.
[phone ringing]
Yep.
You owe me an answer, Tonya.
I told you already, a hundred bucks.
No.
I'm talking about the apartment.
Well?
I don't know. I'm thinking about it.
Baby, listen to me.
I'll get you a new car.
I'll get you out of that drug mobile.
I'll let you keep the driving gig.
Just take the apartment.
Move into the apartment.
It'll be so good. We'll be happy there.
It'll be good for us.
Yeah, you'll let me.
You know what I mean. Come on.
I can take care of myself, Marty.
Remember I was in the military.
Fifteen years ago, kiddo.
Yeah.
Your destination is on the right.
Come on. stop being so difficult.
Bye, Marty.
Tonya?
Yep.
Drive.
I don't carry cash.
Just drive.
Okay. Where?
Just. Drive.
Okay.
[]
Give me your phone.
I'm not gonna ask again.
Give me your phone.
Hey, that's a thousand bucks.
Give me out of town. I'll
give you three of those.
How about I drop you
off and we call it a night?
How about I shoot you and take your car?
Understand?
-Yeah.
-Yeah, what?
Yes. I understand.
How far will that much gas take us?
I don't know.
Ninety, a hundred miles.
You're good. Keep heading east.
Drive carefully. Do
anything to get us pulled over.
[phone ringing]
I'll kill you.
Fountains.
You've got some balls calling me "Fountains".
You despica-
Take a right into this alleyway up here.
Okay.
Here? Yeah.
Stop.
Hand me your keyes.
I'm offering you this
financial incentive for your help.
And without it, I feel I'd be less
inclined to trust your efforts.
So tonight, you work for me.
I don't want any part of this.
That's thirty grand.
Yeah, keep it.
What's your name?
Kelly.
You're no Kelly, what's your name?
Like I said, it's Kelly.
Kellies tend to be pleasers. You
don't strike me as a pleaser. Your name?
Name?
Tonya. It's Tonya, okay?
Okay.
Tonya, this is how this plays out.
This is your money. You can
do whatever you want with it.
I need to make one stop, and I need you
to get me out of town.
After that, I'll double this, and you'll
never see me again. That's sixty K.
Not bad for a night's work.
And not to be rude, but you
look like you could use it.
Yeah, says the grown man in a hoodie.
Put one of your hands
through the steering wheel.
What?
Put your hands
through the steering wheel.
I could use one of those.
[]
Hey.
Hey.
Hey. Hey!
Hey, mister! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Come here!
Hey!
Hey! Yeah!
Could you help me? Come on!
Yeah! Please!
What are you doing?
Could you help me?
Could you hurry? Come on!
Yeah!
Why are you tied up like this?
Could you please help me?
He's got a gun and he's going to be back.
Please.
You're a pretty lady.
Yeah ok. Could you help untie me please?
What's in it for me?
I've got cash.
Look! Look!
Take it!
It's yours.
Yeah? Okay!
So can you untie me now?
Hey!
Could you untie me? Please?
Come on!
You're on your own, lady.
No! No! No! No! No!
Come back!
[muffled] Motherfucker!
Come on!
Oh God.
[gun shot]
Do not do that again.
Drive.
Where are you now?
The beginning.
He will head east.
I want him alive.
It's really up to him, boss.
[clicker sound]
If he's not alive,
neither are you.
Am I clear?
Crystal.
[clicks clicker]
You heard the boss.
He wants him alive.
Yeah.
Poor little piggy.
Poor little piggy's right.
Yep. Fuck COVID.
[phone beeps]
Fly, little Butterfly.
Fly.
Why do you waste your time
with that moth of a woman?
[sighs]
Like you, my dear.
She serves a purpose.
Touching me and talking about her.
Pick which apple you bite.
I...
will bite...
whatever apple I want.
Oh.
[laughs]
Is there a problem?
Just drive.
You brought me into this.
Into what? You don't even
know what this is. Drive!
My life's on the line, too.
Yeah, well...
Well, what?
Well, I'm low on
ammunition. Do you have any?
No. Is that gonna be a problem?
Only if you want to live.
Turn left here at the light.
Go through the tunnel.
We're gonna make another stop.
[]
[phone ringing]
You lived.
Return the cash.
Make it easier on everyone.
Everyone being you?
We're gonna get to you.
Fuentes wants his money. We want our cut.
The only thing that's stopping that from
happening is you, pal.
T, you'll never see a dime.
No. He's not cooperating.
Yeah, yeah. Poor little piggy.
Hey. Hey, where you going so early?
Looking so pretty and everything.
The night's young it's-
[grunting]
[vomiting]
Well played.
Thanks.
Turn left.
Stop.
[phone ringing]
Rally calling.
Rally, are you set?
Yeah. I'm on my way to the hotel.
Any problems?
Nothing I can't handle.
You got it right?
Yeah. I got it.
You don't sound right.
Xavier.
I had a messy out.
I had to comandeer a car.
What? What the hell were you thinking?
Where are you?
I was thinking about her.
I was thinking I need to help her.
We need to help her. Okay?
I'm just--I'm making one
stop and then I'm coming to you.
Okay.
Hey.
I love you.
Yeah, I know. I love you too.
And Rally, don't be late.
Whatever. I swear.
[sighs]
Give me your keys.
Get out.
Slide across.
Put your hands together.
Look at me.
My word counts.
If I say you're gonna
make it through the night,
you're make it through the night.
I just--I can't have you doing something
stupid a second time, so you're in...
Time out.
Yeah, basically.

New voicemail.
Return my money within an hour,
or it will not end well for you
or others. There will
be a lot of screaming.
[clicks clicker]
What have you gotten me into?
I told you all you need to worry about is
getting me out of town.
Yeah, I get you out of
town, and then what--
what happens when this
Fountain person figures out
that I'm the one that helped you, huh?
Am I supposed to get out of town and then
spend the rest of my life
looking over my shoulder?
He doesn't know who you
are, and he never will.
You don't know that.
What if he figures it out, we're already
on dozens of traffic cameras,
or at least I am because I'm the one that
did most of the driving.
Okay, I'll give you an extra 20K.
You're negotiating?
I can see the money right here. It's at
least a quarter million bucks.
How about plan B, I
shoot you and take your car?
Yeah, you would have done it already.
What makes you think I still won't?
Because you gave me your word.
40K, no more negotiating.
Besides the money, we get jammed up,
don't expect my help.
Trust me, I won't.
So who was the "others" that he was talking
about? Sounds personal.
It's just talk.
If it was just talk, then why say it?
He doesn't have anything or anyone...
What? What?
He knows my sister, Rally.
Yeah, well, that would be it.
Hey.
Hey, where are you?
Listen, are you in the room?
Yeah.
Okay, listen to me very carefully. I need
you to lock your door and stay in your
room and wait for me.
Do you understand?
Rally.
Rally!
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I thought I heard
something. What did you say?
Stay...the room...for me.
Ra-
Xavier.
Rally? Rally?
[phone beeps]
Shit.
Are you there?
Xavier.
Fuck.
What you're saying is that
Xavier robbed them of ammo.
Pachino said yes.
Right.
Just clean it up.
Chino.
Yeah, man, what's up?
You want to tell me what happened again?
Bro, look, I'm sorry, bro. Like it's X, bro
he just came in and then he was gone with
the ammo and shit, bro.
I didn't mean anything about it, it was
just a bad day, bro.
No, and I'm sorry too.
I'll let you take the next one, okay?
Are you serious? There's
no reason for name calling.
So that's what we're doing now.
You happy?
[phone finish charging]
This is Rally. Leave one.
Rally, it's me. What hotel are you in?
Call me back.
[sighs]
[phone beeps]

[phone beeps]
[phone beeps]
Well, it's time to get a drink.
This is Rally. Leave one.
Rally, I need to
know what hotel you're in.
Call me back.
Finally.
Thanks.
So this car of yours?
Yeah. What about it?
It's plated, isn't it?
Yep.
I got it at a Fed auction,
and lucky for you,
the windows are bulletproof too.
And you've just been driving people
around L.A. in this thing?
Yeah.
It's different.
So, um...
Why?
Why what?
Why'd you take all that money?
So, asshole.
I'd like to know that my
potential death has some value.
So why?
My mother.
Your mother?
Yeah, my mother got taken by some boiler
room Wall Street scam.
Bastards emptied
out her savings account.
She's a...
70-year-old
schoolteacher living on fixed income,
If she doesn't come up with
the money for a mortgage.
She's gonna be on the
street, so, that's my reason.
Your mother?
Yeah, even guys like me have mothers.
I didn't mean it like that.
And how'd you mean it?
I'm just surprised.
Surprised that I have a mother?
No, I just thought it was like...
Bitches, beaches, fast
cars, that kind of thing.
Oh, there'll be a
little left over for that.
It's not all alturistic.
[phone ringing]
Family problems, X?
You're like a bad penny.
Saw your handiwork at the warehouse.
Messy, messy.
Very, very not like you.
Well, good to know you're
still cleaning up after me.
Once a janitor, always a janitor, right?
Per usual, I took care of it.
You're losing your touch, son.
Well, I'll have a lot of time to reflect
about that on a warm beach.
What do you want?
I'm gonna offer you a solid.
You're gonna do me a solid?
You meet me down at the
4th Street Watch in thirty.
Bring the money.
We'll tell Fuentes we shot you when you
were trying to escape.
Fell into the river.
We'll even let you keep
100k for your troubles.
Wow, you'd do all that for me.
Sure, buddy.
Old time's sake.
How much is he paying
you to hunt me down?
It's a one-time offer.
How much is he paying you?
Your cut.
So my cut plus yours, you really are a
double-dipping janitor, aren't you?
Take the deal or watch your six.
Because I'm coming for you anyway.
[]
We gotta go.
Xavier, where are you?
[sliding door open]
[footsteps]
Little sister.
[yelling]
Butterfly.
So you weren't able to find them?
I received a text from Bobby O saying X
was here. He's since gone.
Yeah, I guess you
could say I'm disappointed.
Bobby O is still here. Thoughts?
Send him to the devil.
[clicks clicker]
If you don't mind me saying so, why not
just give back the money?
Have you not been paying attention to
anything that's happening?
Yeah, actually I have. And from here it
looks like you don't know how
to get me or you out of this.
Look, Tonya, you drive
professionally, I'd do this.
Shit.
Pull over.
It's okay. Just be calm, answer his
questions, but try not to say too much.
Okay.
[police radio chatter]
Evening. I'm Detective Pearson. How are
you both doing tonight?
Good, Detective. Anything wrong?
I stopped you because your tail light's
broken. Are you aware of this?
No.
Were you in an accident or...
How you doing back there, sir?
I'm doing good, Officer.
Can't really see your face.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I have photophobia. Your
lights, they bother my eyes.
Yeah, they're bright. Where
are you both headed this hour?
I'm a ride share driver and I'm taking my
passenger to his destination.
I see. And you, sir, are
you visiting from out of town?
Yes, Officer.
Business, pleasure?
That's L.A., a little bit of both.
Okay.
I'll just need to see your license and
registration for now.
Is it common for detectives
to do routine traffic stops?
Not generally.
[phone beeps]
Now what? More drama with
your little soldiers?
No.
This, my dear, is a resolution.
It seemed that our...
Pet Officer, Mr. Pearson,
has Xavier.
And for the right amount?
[laughs]
Oh, it's so good to know that there's not
a clean cop in my little town.
[laughs]
Ah, yes.
Done.
Well, where were we?
[laughs]
[phone beeps]
[]
Fuentes, bent cops and X.
What a lovely night.
[]
Do me a favor.
Exit the vehicle, I'd like to show you the
damage to your tail light.
Is that an issue?
Where'd you stay you're staying, sir?
You know what? It's fine.
Ma'am?
It's fine. Yeah, I'm good.
All right, you stay put, sir.
Looks like someone
kicked in your tail light.
Most likely kids.
How long you have the car?
I don't know, um, four or five years.
How long have you been
driving professionally?
Three years.
Sir, I'm gonna need you
to step out of the vehicle.
[knocks on window]
Yes, officer.
Why not send your men in to collect your
money, Fountains?
[laughs]
I have a much better idea.
I think I'll have Xavier put down in the
alley like the rat shit that he is.
Such a waste of time.
You must focus on collecting your money
and acorns, my cucked little boy.
Do not call me that.
No one.
No one.
Ow! Stop!
Owns my acorns, but me!
Do you understand that?
Yes.
-Do you?
-Yes, understood.
Got it.
Well, you can do a favor
for me, can't you? Come here.
Where is X?
I don't know.
Where is X?
I told you. I don't know.
Bye-bye.
[gun shot]
[gun shot]
[typing message]
[send message]
Are you still talking about that kid?
[phone beeps]
Well?
Get the money, kill them all.
[laughs]
Keep it together, buddy.
Why?
Why what?
Why'd you have to kill them?
They were two human beings! You son of a
bitch! You fucking animal!
Stop it! Hey, hey!
They were two human beings!
What's wrong with you? Why?
Stop! Stop! Tonya, stop!
Stop.
I'm gonna let go of you now, and you're
not going to hit me. Do you understand?
[car turned off]
I didn't want that to happen.
Then why?
The fact that you asked the question
tells me you'd never understand.
It's not an answer.
[]
This money...
was stolen from dirty detectives who
robbed it from drug dealers.
The the only people looking for this
money, or the type of people that would
kill you just to get it.
My former employer is one of them.
Those detectives, they were
part of the crew we robbed.
How do I know you're not lying?
Grab my phone.
We photographed them
before we robbed them.
I don't know. For personal reasons, I
guess, Fuentes told the crew to kill me.
I guess...
less people, more money to go around.
I was able to get away, and
I took the money. All of it.
They would have killed us.
Yeah.
Hey, you're bleeding.
I just need to rest.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey. Hey, don't die on me.
[phone rings]
I need your help.
I thought we agreed to stop smoking these
damn things. They will kill you.
Yeah, so will life.
Yeah. So we should help it along?
I asked you here for your help,
not your judgments, Marty.
I'll do what I can.
But then we're gonna
talk about our future.
Okay.
[phone ringing]
Yes?
X has definitely been here.
And what happened to the shields?
Cut.
[clicks clicker]
Wash it down.
I don't know what the hell that is, and I
really don't want to.
But you've got to
steer clear of this, baby.
Leave with me.
Now.
Please.
I made him a deal.
He's a criminal.
So my word means nothing now.
Your word, no word. You
gotta worry about yourself, baby.
Thanks, Marty. Once again, you've shown
me the difference between
being selfish and selfless.
Guess which one you are.
I'll ask you one last time.
Come with me now.
Move it to the apartment.
We'll be happy.
Good-bye Marty.
He belongs in a hospital.
I'll give you some painkillers.
It's the best I can do.
It was grand, kiddo.
Take care of yourself.

[door opens]

Where are you, Butterfly?
Right where I need to be.
Some mother's kids.
No, no, no. Be nice.
Come on.

Rally calling.
Rally!
Xavier.
[laughs]
Well, I understand
that you had some
problems with the police.
Not ideal, not ideal.
Where's my sister?
Bring me my money, and you will be
reunited with your sister, and all this
will be finished tonight.
Your money?
Your pride.
It always was your biggest
weakness, and yes,
Xavier.
My. Money.
I'm not bringing you shit
till I know my sister's alright.
[clicks clicker]
Where?
Where this all began.
Where you became Judas.
Don't you put your
hands on her, you motherf--
[clicks clicker]
You need the hospital.
I'm taking you to the hospital.
Just give me some more pills.
I'm not doing this anymore.
You're going to the hospital. I don't care.
No.
This is just crazy.
I'm taking you to the goddamn hospital.
No. No.
Jesus.
Fuck.
You're not going to die on me tonight.
Stop. Please stop.
[grunts]
Why not just give him back the money and
end this right now for your sister?
The second I give him the money
he's going to
kill me, my sister, and you.
No, he said bring me my money.
He said bring me my money and this ends
tonight. He didn't say
anything about keeping us alive.
Look I know him. I know how he thinks.
I need your help.
I'm not looking over my
shoulder the rest of my life.
We give him the money.
Get my sister back.
Kill 'em all.
[]
You know how to use this?
[trunk slams]
[phone buzzes]
Where are you now?
Idaho.
Right.
Go to where this all began.
Where he became...
Judas!

I want cigarettes.
[clicks clicker]
You need to stop playing these
games with Xavier.
Just put an end to this.
[clicks clicker]
I will put an end to this when I want to.
Do you understand?
What I understand is you're about to lose
all of your men.
They can smell your weakness.
Always remember, little one,
if I lose my crown, you go down with me.
Move out.

I'm supposed to be at my niece's
birthday party today.
How old is she?
Ten.
She's gonna be ten.
It's a cool age.

Yeah.
Thanks for not killing me.
Night's not over yet.
I'm Xavier, by the way.
Xavier's are pleasers.
You don't strike me as a pleaser.

Yo, big bro.
Wow, looks like somebody
had a real heavy night.
Where is my money?
Where's my sister?
[clicks clicker]
What?
No smart retort?
Oh, I'm disappointed.
You know, you got balls, Xavier.
No brain, but you got balls.
Anyone with half a
brain would have just ran,
taken the money and gone.
Oh, of course.
Your little sister.
Ooh, you got a woman
and she got a big toy.
That is so cool.
Do I intimidate you?
Oh...
Where is my money?
If I don't get my money,
you'll be able to ask
that question again,
face down on the pavement,
taking your last blood-filled breath.
Now, where is my money?
Oh, come on, that
doesn't scare me, bitch.
Huh.
[clicks clicker]
You know,
you seem to be the only
one that has balls here.
So I figured, what the hell?
Why don't I keep you alive
and then I can have you as a plaything,
you know, like a kind of toy, huh?
You the guy that put
your hands on my sister?
Yep.
I had a lot of fun with
her tight little body too.

Somebody kill a son of a bitch!
God damn it.

You...
You Judas.
You Judas you've killed me!

When you go to hell.
The devil will be
sitting there waiting for you.
And I'll be sitting next to him.
