Crystal Prison (2026) Movie Script

(Phone ringing)
(Sinister music)
- [Operator] 911, what's your emergency?
- [Caller] Help, I need help.
Please, it's my boyfriend.
He's going crazy. I don't know what to do.
- [Operator] Okay, miss,
what's going on with your boyfriend?
Are you in a safe place?
What's he doing right now?
- [Caller] He's fucking
insane. I can't control him.
Please just get somebody here now.
You have to send somebody.
(Car dinging) (Dog barking)
(Door closes)
(Door closes)
- [Roy] This guy's got
a bunch of open cases.
Aggravated assault,
assault with a deadly
weapon, home invasion.
- [David] Yeah, he's got a lot
of outstanding warrants, too.
- [Roy] Oh, he's definitely coming with us.
This should be fun.
(Door knocking)
Try to have a little
bit of fun with this one.
- Fuck off.
- [Roy] You have no sense of humor.
- I don't need to have a sense of humor.
There's nothing funny.
- [Roy] Myers cracks jokes.
- [David] Then go patrol with Myers.
What the fuck are we even talking about?
It's hot.
(Door knocking)
(David sighs)
Hi, there.
(Tense music)
Is your name angel?
Are you angel?
- No.
- [David] Well, we're
here on an investigation.
We've got reports of a dv.
- What's a dv?
- Domestic violence.
- No, fool. We don't get
nothing like that here.
- [David] Look, we know this is the
residence of angel Gomez.
Is he here right now?
- I recommend y'all bounce.
You officers have a good day.
- Wait. Ah, ah, hey, we're not done here.
What the fuck?
- Keep your fucking hands
where I can see 'em.
- Hey, that shit ain't legal.
You can't do that shit, dog.
- Yes, I can. I've got
reasonable right to investigate.
- Yo, bro, this ain't your crib.
You can't just fucking bust in like that.
- [Roy] You tried to
slam the door in our face.
That's obstruction. That's probable cause.
Who else is here?
- Yo, you guys gotta go. You gotta bounce.
- [Roy] Answer the questions, man.
Do you have any weapons in the house?
- Nah, fuck you, dog. This is my problem.
Get the fuck out.
- [David] We need you to comply.
- And like I said, fool, you gotta go.
- [Roy] 2110 requesting backup.
- We just need your cooperation, man.
Keep your hands where I can see 'em.
- Hey, get lost, homes.
Well, what the fuck are y'all waiting for?
- [Roy] Answer the fucking
questions. Who else lives here?
- What the fuck did you just say to me?
- Hey, hey, hey, don't
come at my partner like that.
We got reports of loud
banging and screaming.
Now, one more time before
I gotta put you in handcuffs.
Who's been here in the last hour?
- Wait, so who called?
Someone's getting beat
up. That's what this is.
- [David] I didn't say that.
- Let me see what my
girl gotta say about this.
Yo, jas. Yo, Jasmine.
We're gonna get this sorted
out. Get to the bottom of this.
Have you officers on your way.
- [Roy] Are you Jasmine? Do you live here?
- Do you have any ID, ma'am?
To get you up to speed, we
had calls of a domestic dispute.
What I'm gonna need you to do is
stand over here for me.
- Tell the truth.
Nothing happened and we're good, right?
- Hey, don't interfere with her.
- We got it under control, right?
- Angel, don't fucking talk to her.
- It ain't like that, homes.
- [Roy] It's exactly like that, homes.
- She's my girl, bro.
What, you're trying to tell me what I can
and can't fucking say?
- [David] While we're
under an investigation, yeah.
- See? Can't even answer my question.
You can't even fucking listen.
(Radio beeps)
- [David] Have you guys
been fighting in the house?
- No.
- She said no. See that shit?
Case closed.
- Angel, just chill for a minute, man.
- And why is that? For what reason?
You in my home without permission,
accused me of putting hands on my girl.
- Because we're not done here, bro.
- Nah, y'all can leave. I'm good.
Actually, hold up. What
are your badge numbers?
I don't want no fucking apology,
I want your fucking
badge numbers right now.
- [David] Well, because there's a dv,
we're not done here yet.
I'm gonna have to separate both of you.
Badge number's 2110.
- Y'all got no evidence.
And even if I did put my hands on her,
first of all, that's my business.
Second, if it's my word against hers,
y'all can't prove shit.
- [Roy] Well, first
of all, that's not true.
But you seem to be implying that
you don't fucking
understand that to begin with.
Is your backup supposed to
arrive in an ice cream truck?
- [David] So you're both
legal residents of the address.
You both live here?
- Mm-hm.
- [David] Any kids?
- No kids, thank god.
- [David] Okay, well, my
partner and I both know
that a fight happened here at this address,
so if you're trying to protect him-
- it wasn't a fight. We
were having an argument.
- [David] What about that bruise?
- I can handle it,
officer. It's taken care of.
- [Roy] Angel, let me
give you one last chance
to cooperate here, man.
Did you or Mrs. Flores,
either one of y'all,
put each other's hands on each other?
What happened here an hour ago?
- [David] Listen, he's
gonna be arrested anyway.
He's got outstanding warrants.
Now, I know you're trying to protect him,
but we already know
that you made the 911 call.
We're responding to your call.
Now, if you wanna get a restraining order,
I know you guys live together,
I can't promise how
long he's gonna be in jail.
Is that something you
might be interested in?
- What are my options?
- [Angel] Y'all better have a good lawyer.
That's all I'm gonna say.
- All right, angel, put your
hands behind your back.
You're under arrest.
- Hey, come on, man.
- [David] Hey! Fuck,
damn it. 1080 on a 1043.
Fuck you!
- You're under arrest!
- [Angel] Fuck off!
Stop fucking resisting, man!
- Fuck you!
- [Roy] Taser!
(Taser buzzing) (Angel yelling)
- You're under arrest.
Your fucking friend's
under arrest for obstruction.
- Man, fuck you, dog.
I'm gonna fucking put a
curse on your bitch ass.
I fucking mean it.
- [Roy] Dude, you're in handcuffs.
- Look at me. Look at me.
Your fucking soul, it
belongs to me, all right?
I'm not fucking playing.
- He just got another
felony, threatening an officer.
- Why would I say that
shit if I didn't mean it?
- That's a good point, actually.
(Gates rattling)
(Electricity buzzing)
(Door slams)
- Why do you guys have to search the place?
- [David] He's a felon on probation
who just assaulted an officer.
- So you gotta turn my
whole house upside down?
- [David] Yeah, that's how this works.
- Officer, you don't understand.
I don't want a bunch of
guys going through my shit.
- [David] Then you should have chosen
your friends more wisely.
Look, between what he did
today and outstanding warrants,
we have to check and
see if he has any weapons.
- You can't do this without a warrant.
- [David] We have
reasonable suspicion to search.
And yes, it's legal.
And, oh, look, we just
got the search warrant.
Burner phones, phone chargers.
Oh, look, bullet casings.
No wonder you didn't
want us finding your drugs.
- [Jasmine] That's not mine.
- [David] We're not taking you to jail.
Not yet anyway.
(Chuckles) What is that?
(Metal clanging)
What about this? Does
this weapon belong to angel?
Can't even pick it up.
(Electricity buzzing) (David yelling)
(Tense music)
- Did you just touch that crystal?
- [David] What was that thing?
- You did, didn't you?
- [David] What the fuck was that thing?
- You shouldn't have done that.
- [David] Shouldn't have done what?
What are we talking about?
- Nevermind, it's nothing, actually.
Forget this ever happened.
- [David] What is the
deal with that crystal?
- Nothing. You can't
tell anyone about this.
In fact, you won't even
remember it. Just like that.
(Fingers snap) (Vehicle rumbling)
(Blinker clicking)
(Vehicle rumbling)
(Vehicle rumbling continues)
(Door closes)
- [David] 21:10, end of shift.
Hill, signing off.
- [Roy] Sure, not a problem.
What can I do for you?
- [David] Hey, you know that call
we did yesterday with angel Gomez?
- [Roy] Yeah, what's up?
- [David] I got something going on.
- [Roy] Cool. What's up?
- [David] Ever since we did that call, man,
something's been off.
- [Roy] What's off?
- [David] I think that guy
really put a curse on me.
- [Roy] Oh.
- [David] Does that, does that sound crazy?
(Tense music)
- [Roy] We were pretty rough with him.
- [David] And I really don't wanna
go back to that house either.
- [Roy] Well, hell, shit.
You think one of your
suspects did something,
take it down to services.
Take it to Jason.
- [David] I don't know. I don't know, man.
This is different.
I don't think I wanna
take it to tellerson just yet.
- [Roy] Then why are you asking my advice?
- [David] You were there.
- [Roy] Yeah, but why would
you talk to me about this shit
if you're not even gonna fucking listen?
- [David] Hey, I don't know.
I don't know. This is weird.
I don't really know
what to do about it, man.
- [Roy] Well, I'm busy
over in sanbrook now.
- [David] Well, I'm over here on patrol.
Hey, you're on patrol.
You're on call right now.
What are you doing over there?
- [Roy] None of your fucking business.
Hey, you've gotta man up with this shit
unless you wanna keep
putting me on speaker,
for all the advice you're not even
gonna take in the first place.
- [David] Hey, one more thing.
What if this guy really
did put a curse on me?
- [Roy] I don't know about that.
(David groaning) (Gentle music)
(David groaning continues)
- [David] God. Fuck. (Groans)
(Door knocking) (Gentle music)
- Officer?
- [David] You.
I need to talk to you. Something happened.
- What are you doing back
here? Why are you at my door?
- [David] You have to listen to me.
Something's going on. I
need to know what it is.
- Officer, I'm in the middle
of something. I'm busy.
- [David] Your boyfriend,
angel, he's still in jail.
- I know. I don't need you to tell me that.
- [David] No, I don't need to talk to him.
I need to talk to you.
- Officer, I have company
over. I can't help you.
I'm dealing with some other shit.
- [David] Let me in, please.
You gotta listen to me. I
don't know what's going on.
It's like I'm here, but I got
one foot somewhere else.
I can't explain it.
Please, you gotta help me.
- I have friends over.
I'm dealing with something
else. Have a good night.
- [David] Wait, something's not right.
- I don't care. Goodnight,
thank you for yesterday.
- [David] I'm cursed!
It was your boyfriend. He cursed me.
(Gentle music continues)
- You're cursed?
- [David] I know you have
something to do with this.
- Angel and me are done. We broke up.
- [David] Your boyfriend,
your-your ex-boyfriend,
he did something to me.
I need to know what it is.
- Angel put a curse on
you? How are you so sure?
- [David] It's probably when he said,
"I'm gonna put a curse on you, dog."
- Is that what he fuckin' said?
- [David] Yes.
- (Sighs) I told you not
to look through my stuff.
- [David] It's my job.
- You shouldn't have
gotten pulled into this.
You shouldn't have gone through my things.
- [David] So you do
know what's going on then.
- The thing with angel is
already turning into a mess.
What do we do?
- He's a fucking cop.
- What if he's telling the truth?
- He's wearing a body cam.
- Is that thing recording?
- [David] No, it's off.
- We can't talk to a cop about this.
- We can't let this blow up.
- Well, it's gonna blow up
if we don't handle it, like, right now.
- I knew something was wrong yesterday,
the way the crystal rejected you.
- [David] What crystal?
- Good point. This is an urgent situation.
We-we gotta move on this.
Don't say shit to anyone.
(Diana laughing)
- Yeah, Jasmine. We have the numbers.
Let's just do it ourselves.
- No, I don't wanna escalate this shit.
We're gonna stir shit up again.
- This shit is stupid. It
doesn't belong to them.
We gotta roll up on these bitches.
- I'm not gonna fucking
clean up after angel.
He's already making shit worse on purpose.
- He's gonna keep doing
that. We need to fuck him up.
- No. No.
He's not even safe to be around no more.
None of you get how low he's willing to go.
- You don't need to do it. I'll do it.
She'll fucking do it.
- Well, then, how are you planning on
getting your property back?
- [Jasmine] I don't fucking know.
This shit is getting complicated.
- It's not complicated. And
that shit don't matter to us.
- And we do need to get that book back.
- We can handle it ourselves.
We don't need the fucking cops for that.
(Upbeat music)
(Music player beeps)
- So you are cursed.
You have angel's curse.
- [David] Your ex-boyfriend?
Yes.
- The guy from last night?
- Correct.
- [David] And you're not joking?
You're not fucking kidding with me?
- No, angel put a curse on you.
- [David] How do you know that?
- He has your soul.
- [David] Oh, boy. Okay.
So, you.
What about you? What's your deal?
- I'm a witch.
- [David] Fuck.
- We're all witches. This is our coven.
(Upbeat music)
(Diana laughs)
- Look, we've been doing this a long time,
and this shit ain't nobody's business.
But now she's got her
boyfriend, ex boyfriend,
stealing shit that don't belong to him.
- He figured out and forced me
to teach him some of my magic.
This shit is literally
why we've been fighting.
- [David] Wait, so we need angel
to lift the curse he put on me?
- No, it's a book of spellcraft.
If we're gonna lift your curse,
it's this rare collection
of spells we need.
- Yeah, the book that'll
be required to lift your curse
was stolen by angel a week ago.
That's why we're all here tonight.
We're trying to solve this shit.
- [David] So if angel
stole the book, where is it?
- (Scoffs) He doesn't have it
anymore. He sold it for drugs.
- [David] So where's the drug dealer?
- That's what we're saying.
We can figure that shit out.
- Yeah, it makes sense.
If we get it back, then we
can help this random-ass guy.
- [David] Wait, angel's still in jail.
He's not gonna tell you
who he sold the book to,
not if he won't tell me.
- Angel didn't take his phone
with him when he got arrested.
- [David] That's true.
So you have his phone?
- Yeah, we looked at the
calls, and there's three dealers
who he may have sold it to.
- I know one of 'em. So does she.
Why don't we roll up on these fools?
- [David] So you need me
to ride along with you guys
so you can get back some
piece of stolen property?
- We can help you do
this, or you can help us.
- [David] I'm breaking protocol, okay?
I can't do this. I'm gonna
lose my fucking job.
- Uh, yeah, hi, I didn't want
you getting into my affairs.
How about I go search through your shit?
How does that make you feel?
- [David] Well, that makes me feel uneasy.
- Your soul was taken and
you're worried about your job?
Maybe tonight you don't call the shots.
- [David] What happens
if we can't fix this?
- Officer, I'll make you a deal.
If you can get my book
and bring it back to me,
the four of us will break
that curse on your head.
- [David] So we got three
dealers we're looking at.
And you guys think you
know where we're going?
- Yeah, rival gang territory.
It's like going to Disneyland, bro.
- Yeah, officer.
Tonight's gonna be a different kind of
ride along than you might be used to.
(Upbeat music)
- [Diana] It's that place right there.
No, don't park here. Go down the street.
- [David] So you're gonna
go in here and buy drugs,
and then you're gonna ask about the book?
- [Diana] No, I don't need
to buy drugs. I got drugs.
- Hey, hey, whoa!
- It's cool. He's with me.
- This cop's with you?
Don't bring him here.
- Don't worry about it. He's with us.
- That true? You with her?
- [David] Yeah.
- What's up with you? I
haven't seen you in ages.
- Yeah, I mean, I don't
go to the block no more.
I got my own turf now, you know?
- Hey, that's what's up! You on the ball!
And tell your mom that I
say hi. How's she been doing?
- Yeah, yeah, she's doing good, you know?
Getting older now though.
So, what do y'all need?
- I gotta talk to you.
- About what?
- Hey, I know it's been a minute,
but we're trying to look into something,
and your name came up.
- What do you mean? What's that mean?
- [David] Hey, Caesar, officer David hill.
It's nice to meet you.
We're conducting an investigation.
We think someone might
have sold you a stolen item.
- Oh, yeah? What-what makes you say that?
- [David] It's not about
you. You're not in trouble.
- (Laughs) Oh, I know I'm not in trouble,
but yo, dog, I got people trying to
trade me stuff for drugs all day.
So I probably do have
some stolen shit, you know?
You a real cop, man?
That your badge number?
- [David] Yeah.
- So what, you locking
up all the vatos now?
All the troublemakers and
heartbreakers? Is that it?
- [David] Something like that.
- (Laughs) Well, thank
you for your services, officer.
That's right, homie.
Shit, cleaning up the community and stuff.
Yeah.
- Hey,
I'm just here trying to sell drugs,
and there's people out
there trying to Rob me?
Get them off my front
porch, officer! Right?
(Speaking in foreign
language) Come on inside, huh?
Hey, oh, you hear about Casper?
- Oh, yeah, he passed away,
right? That was last week.
- Yeah, everybody's dying, you know?
Too many funerals and shit.
Oh, my girl, Jackie.
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi. Nice meeting you.
- Yo, bro. Where do we
know each other from?
- [David] We've never met.
- I swear, you remind me of somebody, eh?
- [David] Must be somebody else.
- Hey, we're looking
for an item. It's a book.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
- (Laughs) What? So you
think I stole something?
That's what this is about.
- [David] We're not saying
you did. You're not in trouble.
- We're trying to locate an item,
and we think that someone might have
sold you stolen property.
- Well, come over here, take a seat.
- [David] We'd rather stand.
- Take a seat, bro. You too, girl.
Come on, you're making
me all nervous and shit.
(Phone beeps)
(Upbeat music)
(Sighs) Dog, I love this track.
Mm.
Hey, yo.
All I wanna do is jam music, you know?
Shit. Check this out.
There's these young bucks, man.
Little kids dressed like
gangsters trying to take me out.
I can't even fucking
relax no more, you know?
- Made your bed, dog.
Now you gotta sleep in it.
- Yeah.
Well, I would,
only the fucking mattress
was on fire all the time.
I mean, these little teens,
they think they're scarface
or some shit, you know?
With all the guns and the bravado.
Shit. You probably
see that stuff a lot, huh?
- [David] Only every day.
- That's right. Ain't
no rest for the wicked.
Soon as you got something for yourself,
somebody's out there just
trying to take that shit away.
- [David] Sounds about right.
- Hey, yo, but these fucking,
these little homies, they-they trip me out.
I mean, if I'm gonna get shot,
I don't want it to be no
fucking 12-year-old kid.
- [David] That makes sense.
- Hell yeah, that shit makes sense.
(Sighs) I mean, it's almost like,
like I gotta have eyes
in the back of my head
or some shit nowadays.
Speaking of, dog,
you mind pulling that weapon out of yours?
- [David] I'm not doing that.
- Is there a reason why not?
- [David] Yeah, I'm a cop.
- Well, I'm asking. Please?
- [David] I'm sorry, man. I'm not doing it.
- What if I insist?
- Caesar.
- Shh. I'm talking to your friend, huh?
I don't like that gun of his.
- [David] The gun stays on the belt, man.
- Caesar, he's a cop.
- Hey, yo, you're in my
crib. You're my guest.
That shit's disrespectful.
What's up with that, huh?
(Laughs) I'm just fucking playing, man!
(Laughs) I don't give a fuck.
Dog, that shit's your weapon.
I-I could never ask something
like that from you, man.
- Yo, Caesar, we gotta
figure this out, okay?
We don't got that much time.
- [David] We need to
know if you've seen angel.
- Angel? Yeah, I've seen him around.
(Sighs) But, yo, you sure we've never met?
- [David] We've never met.
- You ever up in Pasadena?
You remind me of some bat over there, man.
- [David] Yeah, like who?
- That's what I'm trying to figure out.
- [David] Must be my twin brother.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
- Must be his twin brother.
You ain't got no twin, fool.
- [David] Hey, man, what's the problem?
- I ain't got no problem.
Just trying to place your face, man.
And just so you know,
that shit's the oldest
trick in the hood, right?
- [David] Yeah, what is?
- That shit, blaming
something on a twin brother.
That shit's an insult, man.
You trying to play me like that? Hm?
- Come on, bro. You gotta stop tripping.
- Where you from, man?
Yo, Caesar.
- Who you with?
- [Diana] He's a cop.
No one's flying colors up on you like that.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
Hey, it's not like that.
- No one's coming up
on you like that.
- Where you from?
- [Diana] Caesar.
- Ah.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
- [Diana] Bro, I'm not trying to put you
in your house like that, dog.
- Shit.
Fuck you, homebody, take me down!
- I'm not rolling with your
enemies like that, fool!
- Caesar, she said she was cool.
- Can take all you mother fuckers down.
- [David] Hey, sit down, man.
We're not doing all this shit.
- Bro, come on!
You know that no one's
running up on you like that, okay?
Come on. You know me.
You know my family. We're
not on the fucking menu, bro.
- Where's your face from, man?
How the fuck do I know you?
- [David] You wanna know
why you recognize me?
I was there the night you got busted.
- That's right.
- [David] I was a rookie,
man. You were a fucking kid.
- No shit. Speak of the devil.
- [David] I remember all your charges, too.
Attempted murder, assault
on a po. I can go on if you want.
- Yo, you put me away, man.
- [David] You put yourself away.
- I did five years for that shit.
- [David] We're not doing this, man.
And you should have done 10 years.
- You wanna know where it's at,
that thing you've been looking for?
- [David] Did she even tell you what
we were looking for?
- She didn't have to, ese.
She didn't have to,
man. It's right over there.
Inside the microwave, huh?
- [David] You put a
book inside a microwave?
- Go check for yourself, fool.
- [David] Hey, listen,
man, we're not doing-
- that's why you're here!
- [David] Hey, step back.
- That's what you wanted, homes.
- [David] Hey, we're not doing this.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
It's not like that.
- Take it back again.
- [David] Step back.
I'm not fucking asking!
- Yo. You wanna put me away?
Just arrest me, carnal.
Come on, homes.
Hey.
- Get those cuffs
on me right now.
- Hey, hey, hey.
You're not under arrest, man, okay?
You and me? We're good.
I didn't see shit.
- [Diana] Caesar, listen to him.
- Do it, ese. Do it.
Get those cuffs on me, homes.
- [Jackie] Caesar, come over here.
- [David] I'm stepping away, man.
I'm putting the gun away.
(Caesar sighs)
- Caesar, did angel sell
you an old, crusty book?
- Yeah, he fucking tried to.
I don't want that shit though.
- Dog! That took nine fucking years!
(Vehicle rumbling)
Oh, shit.
- What?
- [David] Angel's out of jail.
- [Jasmine] You don't
even know what this did.
Do you know what you did?
Your dumb ass doesn't even fucking care.
- No, no, hold up.
You're not the one to take off to jail
every time we start fighting.
- I didn't want you to go to jail.
Why do you think I kept this shit
from you in the first place, bitch?
- I ain't moving out. I'm
on the fucking lease, jas!
- I knew you would get into my business
and turn this into some
big, old fucking mess.
And now you got him involved.
- Oh.
(Tense music)
There he is.
You can't just leave this shit alone, huh?
- Angel, who did you sell it to?
We're gonna find my book tonight.
You can count on that shit.
- Can't stay out of
other people's business.
So it's like that.
- [David] It's not like
anything, man, okay?
I need to know what the fuck you did to me.
- You got me arrested. Get
between me and my lady.
Oh, you deserve everything you got coming.
- [David] Look, angel.
I like to work with people, man, okay?
I just need to know
what you do with my soul.
- Dog, I'm gonna fucking crush your soul.
- [David] Wait. Wait, man, please.
- You're not protected. Not from this, no.
- [Jasmine] Angel, if
you put a curse on him...
- This shit's getting serious.
- [David] You're goddamn
right it's getting serious.
Now are you gonna help me or not?
- You walked into the wrong house, bro.
No, I'm just getting started.
As for you, I know all
your fucking little secrets.
You should have been
more careful. Both of you.
(Tense music continues)
- He runs his mouth a lot,
but you'll wanna take that shit seriously.
- [David] So you're gonna help me figure
this shit out, right?
- Hold on, I gotta sort
some shit out real quick.
(Tense music)
Angel's not gonna stop.
He's gonna take this shit as far as he can.
He's fucking serious.
- We need to go after angel.
Who gives a fuck about the book?
- Well, it's gonna fall
into the wrong hands.
- It already has. It's too late.
He's blowing our cover.
Your fucking ex is ruining
what we've spent years keeping a secret.
- Our only business is
with that book! Fuck angel!
And we gotta clean up this shit real quick.
- It's true, it's too much magic.
It's too much high caliber power.
We gotta get my spells back.
- Well, we know Caesar doesn't have it,
so who's next on the list?
- We're down to the guys at
del Rosa and Sean Crawford.
He's the guy that pulls a
lot of weight over on the hills.
- Well, yeah, the ones in del Rosa,
my ex still deals with them.
They have a trailer up in the mines.
- Then let's go knock on their door.
- [David] Is there a reason
you're not telling me anything?
- [Jasmine] Yes.
- [David] Why do I not feel so good?
- Take a guess.
- [David] But I'm
gonna be all right, right?
Like, this is a normal
night out for you girls.
- [Both] No.
(Tense music continues)
(Door closes)
(Birds chirping)
- [David] So what are these guys like?
Do we know their names?
- I think it's Cole. I don't remember.
- [David] What are they like?
- Well, they don't fuck
around from what I know, so.
- [David] All right.
Here, you guys stay in the car.
Keep the doors locked. I'll go talk to 'em.
- Officer.
- [David] Hi, there. Is your name Cole?
- What are you doing out here
in the middle of nowhere, officer?
Is-is there some kind of problem?
- [David] Yeah, there
is. Maybe you can help.
I'm doing an investigation.
I'm looking for a book.
I need to know if you've
seen angel. Has he been here?
- Uh...
Uh, I don't know any angels, officer.
- [David] Oh, really?
Well, listen, man, we've got correspondence
of you two talking on the phone, so.
- What is this?
- [David] I just told you,
I'm doing an investigation.
- Uh, yeah, well, um,
what are you doing out here?
- [David] Listen, man, it's not about you.
You're not in trouble.
- I know I'm not in any trouble.
You don't need to tell
me that, officer David.
(Chuckles) Okay, what, is this angel guy
snitching or something?
- [David] I didn't say that.
But if he did, is there
something you're hiding?
- If I did, it wouldn't be
any of your damn business.
- [David] I don't disagree.
Listen, man, we're tracing
angel's footsteps, okay?
Knocking on doors. I just
need you to cooperate.
(Cole chuckles)
It didn't go anywhere.
- What did he say?
- [David] (Sighs) They're hiding something,
but I don't think it's the book.
They don't have it.
(Engine roaring)
- [Jasmine] Who is that?
- [Cole] Let's go, man, come on.
Get your fucking ass over here.
All right, get over here. Come on.
Put your hands out.
Come on, don't fucking talk.
You, stay put. Don't fucking move.
You two, come on.
Everything outta your pockets.
Put it on the floor.
- Hey, listen, buddy,
I'm not fucking lying to you.
- [Cole] Don't be shy.
Come on, weapon, keys, and wallets.
Come on, put 'em on the floor,
on the carpet right now.
- Hey, hey.
You don't need the girls,
man. Let the girls drive off.
- What are you, born in a fucking barn?
Shut the fuck up.
- Come on, man, what are we doing here?
- [Cole] Gotta figure
that out. You, come here.
(Atmospheric music)
- Officer, officer, officer.
Come on.
(David groaning)
Come on. Wake up.
Please, let's not do this right now.
You were knocked unconscious, okay?
Those guys threw us in here
and they beat you up pretty hard.
I just don't think we have a lot of time.
They think I'm helping you right now.
In the living room,
if she's not able to talk our
way out of this, I don't know.
Okay, this is bad.
They're saying something,
but I can't hear them.
They're not letting Jasmine talk.
They keep interrupting her. Fuck.
Okay, let's get you down here, okay?
You're really not doing well.
It's worse than I thought.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you
what's gonna happen, okay?
They're about to find you and torture you.
It's what they do, it's
what they're known for,
and they're never gonna let us go free.
And once Jasmine finds that out,
they're gonna come back here for us.
Okay, so you're really
fading away, aren't you?
Officer, I have to keep
you awake, all right?
Just please don't fucking pass out.
Like, you don't have to save us,
but I'm not gonna be
responsible for you either.
A few years after he
got released from state,
things got really hot one night.
My father was hosting a card game.
It was a crazy night of drinking,
him and all his buddies,
everyone was on drugs,
and then there was this guy from Tijuana,
some farm worker who pulls out a gun
and decides that he
wants to play the devil.
(Chuckles) Pulls out a gun and he
wants to play a game of Russian roulette,
you know, putting a gun to
his head, clicking the chamber.
And he keeps on doing
this, and everyone's jumping,
but also kind of laughing.
And then he accidentally
got the right chamber
and shot himself in the head.
I was seven years old when
that happened in my kitchen.
Spent the rest of the
night cleaning that shit up,
getting rid of the body.
But then things got messy.
Because on the road, on
the way to dump the body,
I get pulled over, some traffic violation,
and the cop wanted to see behind the trunk.
(Tense music)
You remember when I said everyone
has a line that they won't cross?
For my father, meant crossing
every other line imaginable
if that meant not going back,
including killing a cop,
which is what he did that night.
The lengths people take, officer,
to not get taken down by people like you,
the lengths people go to
take care of their own family
by taking care of their own skin,
there's no reason to believe
the guys in the living
room are any different.
I think I hear something.
- What's your business? What are you doing?
- [David] I already told you, man.
I'm not fucking lying to you.
- I don't care. What's your business?
- [David] I'm looking for a book.
- (Chuckles) You weren't
expecting this, were you?
(Tense music)
Look at you.
You ain't got nowhere to
go, all tied up in that chair.
What do you think about that back there?
- Yeah, he definitely ain't going anywhere.
(Cole chuckles)
- You might as well have
just handed me your gun.
You're just a bad cop.
- [David] Yeah, there's a
lot of things I'm not tonight.
I told you, man. I'm
not fucking lying to you.
- Okay. What's your business?
- [David] We're looking for a book.
Hey, look at me, man.
You kill those two girls,
nobody's gonna care.
Maybe you get five years.
You kill a cop, it's a
whole nother ballgame.
It's the worst thing you could possibly do.
- Do you think being a
cop saves you out here?
You think wearing a badge out here
in the middle of nowhere
is gonna make you safe?
You gonna call the cops?
No, no one calls the cops.
They call us. For that,
you have to deal with us.
Let's go.
You, you take her.
Hey.
- I want that one.
- [David] Hey, Cole, stop, man!
- Shut the fuck up!
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Body camera buzzing)
(Body camera buzzing continues)
- [Jasmine] What the fuck was that?
- [David] Are you good? Is everybody good?
- [Jasmine] Do we look good?
- [David] Do you need a hospital?
- [Both] No!
- [David] I need to go talk to angel.
I need to see your ex. Where is he?
- [Jasmine] He's not gonna listen to you.
- [David] Well, where's he gonna be at?
- [Jasmine] Staying with a friend?
I think they're over in Covina.
- [David] Well, let's go talk to him.
(Brakes screeching)
(Door slams)
(Upbeat music)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Door bangs)
- Yo, what the fuck?
- [David] Stay there. Don't fucking move.
- Bro, you're in my crib.
What the fuck is your problem?
- [David] This fucking guy. Get up.
Yeah, you mother fucker.
I know what you did.
You're gonna fix it tonight.
- Bro, you can't be here
like this. You gotta bounce.
- [David] Hey, I don't care.
- Hey, man, you gotta take
a backseat and slow your roll.
You sure you wanna do this?
- [David] Shut the fuck up.
- I ain't fucking scared of cops, bro!
You trying to fuck around and find out?
- [David] What does it look
like? You, get over there.
Me?
- Yeah, you.
You're gonna help me fix this tonight.
- I don't fucking care.
That shit's done. It's over, right?
You're too late.
No offense, bro, but it doesn't look like
you're having the best of days.
- [David] Yeah, why do you think that is?
- Well, then, you gotta ask yourself this.
How's that shit gonna matter anyway?
You're on the last call
you'll ever fucking make.
It's just the end of the days
for you, homes. Come on.
- [David] No. Fuck you, man, okay?
I already know that you did this.
You said it so yourself
out there in the front yard.
"I'm gonna put a curse
on you, dog," remember?
So you're gonna fix it.
You're gonna help me.
- Sorry, officer.
I wish I could help, dog, but
you got the wrong bandito.
- [David] No.
- I wouldn't know what
you're talking about.
- [David] It's bullshit, man, okay?
You're gonna fix this tonight. Help me.
- I can't do that. It's outta my control.
- [David] It's the one
thing in your control, man.
It's the one thing you can
do. Keep yourself outta prison.
- Oh, so it's like that?
- [David] It's not like anything.
The cop you committed a crime against,
he's gonna help you, keep you outta jail.
It's the one free lottery
ticket you're ever gonna get
in your fucking life, I promise you, man.
- Well, then, you're not gonna
like what I have to say next.
- [David] I don't care, man.
I just want the book, okay?
Caesar didn't have it.
The boys at del Rosa,
there's a lot of things
they don't have anymore.
Is it at the house of Sean Coleman?
- Bro, you're not listening, all right?
What I'm trying to fucking
tell you is it wasn't me.
I didn't put the curse on you, dog.
- [David] Oh, yeah?
Then why am I having the
worst fucking day I've ever had?
- Bro, it was Jasmine, all right?
Open your eyes, fool.
Jasmine put a curse on you. Not me, dog.
Shit, I was just running
my mouth the other day.
I swear. I don't fuck with that shit.
She's the one messing with your head.
Come on. What else did she say?
- [David] Why would she do that?
- I didn't steal the book, all right?
And nobody else did either.
- [David] You're lying
to my fucking face, man.
- They've been looking for
that shit for years, homes.
They're getting close.
What, let me guess, they've
been sending you out to find it?
- [David] No, they
wouldn't do that to a cop.
- Ah, come on, dog, you being a fucking cop
is the whole fucking reason they chose you.
You can do things they can't,
get to places they can't get to.
You're doing all the work.
- [David] Oh my god, man.
- The curse you got, they put on you.
You belong to them now.
- Y'all fucked up, dog.
- (Chuckles) Jasmine isn't
the lady you think she is.
She's like me. She's bad, dog.
She's a heina.
- [David] No, you're just
telling me this to turn on her.
- No. I want that book of spells.
- [David] Why do you want it?
- That ain't business,
dog. Worry about yourself.
- [David] Nah. What do
you get out of this deal?
- Look, this is what I got to offer, right?
You help me break into
this guy Sean's crib house,
and we can get that book.
If it's him, we know where the vault's at.
Let's go get it.
- [David] No, I'm not breaking
into some guy's house, man.
I'm not committing burglary.
- You already narrowed
it down to Sean's crib.
Let's just go for it. Help
me, we can break that curse.
- [David] No, it's too
far, man. I'm not doing it.
- Come on, how good does freedom sound?
- [David] I'm not doing it.
- Fuck you, then.
Go let my ex ruing
your fucking life, all right?
(Vehicle rumbling)
- [David] No, this is on you.
This is your fucking problem.
- We made it your problem.
Finding this book is crucial.
Do this one last thing and we let you walk.
- [David] No, I'm not
fucking helping you anymore.
It's over.
(Atmospheric music)
(Diana whispering)
- We had an agreement.
You need to roll with angel,
break into that house
and get us what we need.
- [David] I'm not rolling with angel
to some fucking house, okay, with his crew.
That's the line in the sand.
- Go with angel. Get the book.
Bring it to us.
- [David] No.
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
You ladies are on your own.
- We had a deal.
- [David] Well, I don't fucking care.
It's over. I don't need your
help to break the curse anyway.
- What hangs over you, what
are you gonna do about it?
- [David] I don't know.
I'll think of something.
- Then I guess you don't need us.
- [David] No, I don't. I'll
fucking figure it out myself.
- Are you working with angel?
- [David] No. It wouldn't matter if I was.
- So you are working with him.
- [David] No, I'm not conspiring
with angel against you.
The point is, I'm not gonna
fucking help any of you.
The point is, you fucking lied to me!
You didn't wanna break the curse.
You could have if you wanted
to. You didn't need the book.
You didn't need it the whole time.
You just had me fucking running around
on some scavenger hunt, stealing shit.
So no, I'm not gonna do whatever you want
or go wherever the fuck you want.
You're on your own.
This is your fucking problem.
You take responsibility.
- Officer, you're going to do this.
We had a deal, and you're not finished.
And I'm not fucking asking you.
- [David] Yeah, that's the
one fucking smart thing
you've done all night,
is not fucking ask me.
You ladies have a good night.
- Stop.
You don't understand.
We had a deal. You have to honor a deal.
A deal is...
(Energy pulses) Binding.
(David groans)
What do you think happens
to a cop without a soul?
We didn't mention the
clock you're trapped under.
You're running out of time, officer hill.
(David coughs)
You're going to help
angel break into that house,
you're gonna bring me my book,
and you're going to earn your freedom.
You work for us.
(Atmospheric music)
(Atmospheric music continues)
- So, if it's a private vault,
it's gonna be back here.
That's where they usually keep it,
in the back of their
big-ass walk-in closets.
- Yeah, well, we got time.
- Bro, we ain't gonna have that much time.
- Come on, dog. Lakers
are fucking playing tonight.
He's got courtside seats.
He ain't gonna be at his fucking crib.
- No, he's already gonna be back there.
- Match is in Vegas, all
right? Chill the fuck out.
He ain't gonna be in fucking
town. We got this shit on lock.
(Upbeat music)
- How about it? It's up to our boy.
You ready?
- You ready, parito?
This is your show with
the big boys tonight.
- [David] Wait a second.
You said the guy's rich.
He's gonna have cameras everywhere.
He's gonna see us break in.
- Don't worry. This is
why we got these, all right?
Look. He ain't gonna
notice nothing with these on.
You guys wanna switch, actually?
(Tense music)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
- Fuck, man, you think this is it?
- Look at it, bro. Of course it fucking is.
- I'm buzzing just looking at it, dog.
- We fucking killed that shit, right?
- That's a trip.
- I'm not fucking around.
- I don't even wanna touch it.
How much do you think it's worth, man?
- Fucking money ain't
got shit on this, dog.
This shit ain't for sale.
This is a fucking ak-47, dog.
(Vehicle rumbling)
(Door closes)
Hey. I'm going out of my way, all right?
You got yourself a deal.
- [David] Right when I get the book, man,
it's coming back to you.
- [Angel] Hey, one
night, all right? 24 hours.
You better get my fucking book.
- [David] I can't tell you how
much this means to me, angel.
Right after the ritual is over, man,
I promise, I'll bring it right back to you.
- [Angel] Hey, you tell her it ain't her
fucking book, all right?
It's mine. I want that shit, all right?
- [David] It's yours, dude. I promise.
- Turned out to be better
than I expected, honestly.
Just don't fuck with me again, all right?
I got you, man.
- Watch yourself.
Hey, good luck with
those witches, all right?
Hey, start the car. Good luck.
My book. Don't forget about it.
It's yours, man.
- Let's go.
(Vehicle rumbling)
(David sighs) (Wind blowing)
(Wind blowing continues)
- How'd it go?
- [David] We got it.
You got it?
- Yeah, this is it.
This is what you're looking for, right?
- Holy shit.
- [David] You guys were
right. It was at Sean's house.
- Oh my god.
- [David] Let's go show 'em.
(Door squeaks)
- What happened?
- Take a look.
We found it.
- Is that it?
- [David] This is it. This is the one.
- Show Jasmine.
(Ericka yelling in foreign language)
- We don't have any fucking time for this.
And does she think that we have
enough fucking time to do this?
Hey.
- What?
- He's back.
- And?
- Look at what he brought.
(Crickets chirping)
- Oh my god.
Oh my god. Jas.
(Crickets chirping continues)
- Well, look at that.
- The scrolls of the black moon.
We knew it was real.
- Yeah, it's really in your
hands. It was all true.
- How the fuck did we find it?
- Oh my god.
- What does this mean for us now?
- It means we have a ritual to perform.
You ready?
- [David] Yeah.
- Don't move. Don't talk.
Follow our direction down to the detail.
- [David] What if I have any questions?
Are you gonna tell me what to do?
- No, you're not gonna do anything.
It's really important you
don't talk when we do this.
You can't fuck this up.
- I can feel it.
Me too.
- It's the real deal.
- You gotta understand,
this is a really tricky
piece of craft to pull off.
It's really important you don't talk.
- [David] Hey, this is important to me too.
Why do you think I'm not listening?
- Just don't say nothing, all right?
Just don't say shit. It don't matter why.
Don't fucking talk.
We're gonna escort you, okay?
We're ready.
- Just follow direction.
(Footsteps padding)
- Hey.
They're ready.
(Atmospheric music)
(Atmospheric music continues)
- So we begin.
From the scrolls of the black
moon, we call the corners.
I summon the spirits of the
east, the living, and the dead.
- I summon the spirits of the south.
A spindle, a rock, a wood tabletop.
- I summon the spirits of the west.
A hex, the devil, a metal tea kettle.
- Ericka, it's your turn. Call the corner.
- No.
- No?
- No.
- Why not?
- I won't do it.
- What's the issue?
- I'm not gonna help him. We can't do this.
- [David] What's going
on? What is she doing?
- Please don't talk. What's the problem?
- I want him to know what it feels like.
I want him to suffer.
- [David] No. No, hold the phone.
- I told you not to talk.
Let me handle this.
Fucking really?
- Yeah. Really.
- [David] You can't do this.
- Do not talk.
- [David] No, you can't fucking red light,
green light this shit all night.
- Let me handle this.
- [David] Then fucking handle it.
You better watch it.
- Ericka.
You'll never have to
deal with this guy again.
Let's wrap this shit up.
- I'm not gonna do it.
- Why?
- I'm not gonna give him freedom.
He doesn't deserve it.
- Either way, it doesn't
matter what he deserves.
We made a fucking promise.
- I don't fucking care.
- [David] You can't do this.
- You are not a part of
this. Please do not talk.
This isn't necessary. What the fuck?
- [David] Jasmine. Do something.
- Why are you standing
in the way all of a sudden?
- Because they get away
with fucking everything.
I wanna deprive him. I'm
not gonna fucking help him.
- [David] Fuck you. Fuck all four of you.
- Do not leave. We're not finished.
- [David] No. Fuck you, I'm done.
It's over.
- Just let me figure this shit out.
- Ericka, we're not gonna
close the door on this
if you don't close the fucking circle.
- I don't fucking care!
I'm not gonna do it.
And any promises we break,
any deals we don't honor
is besides the fucking point.
You're gonna live and die in that prison.
- Ericka's right. We need
to keep him on the hook.
(Chuckles) We need to keep him on his toes.
- [David] No, wait.
- He belongs to us now.
Put a new spell on him.
Make him forget who his new owners are.
- [David] You can't do this.
- Stop talking.
- [David] You can't fucking do this.
- What do you think?
- It's true. He should do more for us.
- [David] No, fuck all this.
- Servitude in exchange for your soul.
- [David] No. Fuck you.
Fuck this.
- If you want your soul,
what are you gonna do for us?
- [David] No, you're not gonna
turn it around on me again, okay?
I fulfilled the terms of the fucking deal.
- No! We helped you get that fucking book!
Now you get to repay us.
What are you going to do for us?
- [David] Do you know
the kind of day I've had?
- Does it look like I give a fuck?
- [David] I did everything you asked!
- Yeah?
That's why you trained so well,
and we're gonna keep
you on a fucking leash.
- [David] You can't keep me on some fucking
hamster wheel all night, doing
whatever the fuck you want!
Says who?
- Says me.
You should have put a curse on angel.
- Who says we didn't?
- [David] The book
doesn't even belong to you.
It's not yours anyways.
- It is now.
- [David] Oh, yeah?
Well, I got a deal with angel,
and the book's going back to him.
- Neither of you is ever
gonna see that book again.
- [David] Who do you think
brought it to you in the first place?
Say what you want about
angel, but he keeps his word.
He and I don't break our fucking deals.
- And what do you think fucking happens
when you don't honor one of angel's deals?
- Your problem is that I will.
(Diana yells) (Energy buzzing)
- What if you don't, homes?
What's angel gonna do?
Don't start shit. I can do anything.
- [David] Jasmine, help me, please.
- Jasmine, he needs four
women to get what he wants.
We need four women to tie
him up and keep him down.
Don't do him any fucking favors.
- [David] Jasmine, please.
- Jasmine, there's nothing
that we don't stand together on.
Come on.
Let's take this cop for all he's worth.
- [David] Jasmine, don't.
- The deal has changed.
You'll need to make an offer.
A fair price for your freedom.
- [David] What about tonight?
- As we said, the deal's changed.
- [David] Everything I've done for you.
- Name the price for your soul.
- [David] I'm not gonna
let you get away with this.
- Officer, without us, your life's over.
And if you don't get
that book back to angel,
he's gonna kill you or die trying.
- And we won't protect you either.
Not if you don't surrender.
And now that your body's a prison,
who do you think has the key?
- Between us and angel,
whose side are you on?
Because from where you're standing,
it doesn't really look that good.
- [David] Sounds like the kind of thing
I'm gonna have to sleep on.
But you can bet I'll be
back for my fucking life.
- We'll see.
- [David] Well, until then,
have a good night, ladies.
- Good luck.
- [David] How is this
possible? What did I just do?
Did it all get recorded?
If the book becomes
evidence, I can get it back.
(Upbeat music)
I tell you, the stars of the la river
are seen from the bodies of
the dead floating downstream.
We'll be seeing if that's true.
(Upbeat music continues)

(Sinister music)
- [Operator] 911, what's your emergency?
- [Caller] Help, I need help.
Please, it's my boyfriend.
He's going crazy. I don't know what to do.
- [Operator] Okay, miss,
what's going on with your boyfriend?
Are you in a safe place?
What's he doing right now?
- [Caller] He's fucking
insane. I can't control him.
Please just get somebody here now.
You have to send somebody.
(Car dinging) (Dog barking)
(Door closes)
(Door closes)
- [Roy] This guy's got
a bunch of open cases.
Aggravated assault,
assault with a deadly
weapon, home invasion.
- [David] Yeah, he's got a lot
of outstanding warrants, too.
- [Roy] Oh, he's definitely coming with us.
This should be fun.
(Door knocking)
Try to have a little
bit of fun with this one.
- Fuck off.
- [Roy] You have no sense of humor.
- I don't need to have a sense of humor.
There's nothing funny.
- [Roy] Myers cracks jokes.
- [David] Then go patrol with Myers.
What the fuck are we even talking about?
It's hot.
(Door knocking)
(David sighs)
Hi, there.
(Tense music)
Is your name angel?
Are you angel?
- No.
- [David] Well, we're
here on an investigation.
We've got reports of a dv.
- What's a dv?
- Domestic violence.
- No, fool. We don't get
nothing like that here.
- [David] Look, we know this is the
residence of angel Gomez.
Is he here right now?
- I recommend y'all bounce.
You officers have a good day.
- Wait. Ah, ah, hey, we're not done here.
What the fuck?
- Keep your fucking hands
where I can see 'em.
- Hey, that shit ain't legal.
You can't do that shit, dog.
- Yes, I can. I've got
reasonable right to investigate.
- Yo, bro, this ain't your crib.
You can't just fucking bust in like that.
- [Roy] You tried to
slam the door in our face.
That's obstruction. That's probable cause.
Who else is here?
- Yo, you guys gotta go. You gotta bounce.
- [Roy] Answer the questions, man.
Do you have any weapons in the house?
- Nah, fuck you, dog. This is my problem.
Get the fuck out.
- [David] We need you to comply.
- And like I said, fool, you gotta go.
- [Roy] 2110 requesting backup.
- We just need your cooperation, man.
Keep your hands where I can see 'em.
- Hey, get lost, homes.
Well, what the fuck are y'all waiting for?
- [Roy] Answer the fucking
questions. Who else lives here?
- What the fuck did you just say to me?
- Hey, hey, hey, don't
come at my partner like that.
We got reports of loud
banging and screaming.
Now, one more time before
I gotta put you in handcuffs.
Who's been here in the last hour?
- Wait, so who called?
Someone's getting beat
up. That's what this is.
- [David] I didn't say that.
- Let me see what my
girl gotta say about this.
Yo, jas. Yo, Jasmine.
We're gonna get this sorted
out. Get to the bottom of this.
Have you officers on your way.
- [Roy] Are you Jasmine? Do you live here?
- Do you have any ID, ma'am?
To get you up to speed, we
had calls of a domestic dispute.
What I'm gonna need you to do is
stand over here for me.
- Tell the truth.
Nothing happened and we're good, right?
- Hey, don't interfere with her.
- We got it under control, right?
- Angel, don't fucking talk to her.
- It ain't like that, homes.
- [Roy] It's exactly like that, homes.
- She's my girl, bro.
What, you're trying to tell me what I can
and can't fucking say?
- [David] While we're
under an investigation, yeah.
- See? Can't even answer my question.
You can't even fucking listen.
(Radio beeps)
- [David] Have you guys
been fighting in the house?
- No.
- She said no. See that shit?
Case closed.
- Angel, just chill for a minute, man.
- And why is that? For what reason?
You in my home without permission,
accused me of putting hands on my girl.
- Because we're not done here, bro.
- Nah, y'all can leave. I'm good.
Actually, hold up. What
are your badge numbers?
I don't want no fucking apology,
I want your fucking
badge numbers right now.
- [David] Well, because there's a dv,
we're not done here yet.
I'm gonna have to separate both of you.
Badge number's 2110.
- Y'all got no evidence.
And even if I did put my hands on her,
first of all, that's my business.
Second, if it's my word against hers,
y'all can't prove shit.
- [Roy] Well, first
of all, that's not true.
But you seem to be implying that
you don't fucking
understand that to begin with.
Is your backup supposed to
arrive in an ice cream truck?
- [David] So you're both
legal residents of the address.
You both live here?
- Mm-hm.
- [David] Any kids?
- No kids, thank god.
- [David] Okay, well, my
partner and I both know
that a fight happened here at this address,
so if you're trying to protect him-
- it wasn't a fight. We
were having an argument.
- [David] What about that bruise?
- I can handle it,
officer. It's taken care of.
- [Roy] Angel, let me
give you one last chance
to cooperate here, man.
Did you or Mrs. Flores,
either one of y'all,
put each other's hands on each other?
What happened here an hour ago?
- [David] Listen, he's
gonna be arrested anyway.
He's got outstanding warrants.
Now, I know you're trying to protect him,
but we already know
that you made the 911 call.
We're responding to your call.
Now, if you wanna get a restraining order,
I know you guys live together,
I can't promise how
long he's gonna be in jail.
Is that something you
might be interested in?
- What are my options?
- [Angel] Y'all better have a good lawyer.
That's all I'm gonna say.
- All right, angel, put your
hands behind your back.
You're under arrest.
- Hey, come on, man.
- [David] Hey! Fuck,
damn it. 1080 on a 1043.
Fuck you!
- You're under arrest!
- [Angel] Fuck off!
Stop fucking resisting, man!
- Fuck you!
- [Roy] Taser!
(Taser buzzing) (Angel yelling)
- You're under arrest.
Your fucking friend's
under arrest for obstruction.
- Man, fuck you, dog.
I'm gonna fucking put a
curse on your bitch ass.
I fucking mean it.
- [Roy] Dude, you're in handcuffs.
- Look at me. Look at me.
Your fucking soul, it
belongs to me, all right?
I'm not fucking playing.
- He just got another
felony, threatening an officer.
- Why would I say that
shit if I didn't mean it?
- That's a good point, actually.
(Gates rattling)
(Electricity buzzing)
(Door slams)
- Why do you guys have to search the place?
- [David] He's a felon on probation
who just assaulted an officer.
- So you gotta turn my
whole house upside down?
- [David] Yeah, that's how this works.
- Officer, you don't understand.
I don't want a bunch of
guys going through my shit.
- [David] Then you should have chosen
your friends more wisely.
Look, between what he did
today and outstanding warrants,
we have to check and
see if he has any weapons.
- You can't do this without a warrant.
- [David] We have
reasonable suspicion to search.
And yes, it's legal.
And, oh, look, we just
got the search warrant.
Burner phones, phone chargers.
Oh, look, bullet casings.
No wonder you didn't
want us finding your drugs.
- [Jasmine] That's not mine.
- [David] We're not taking you to jail.
Not yet anyway.
(Chuckles) What is that?
(Metal clanging)
What about this? Does
this weapon belong to angel?
Can't even pick it up.
(Electricity buzzing) (David yelling)
(Tense music)
- Did you just touch that crystal?
- [David] What was that thing?
- You did, didn't you?
- [David] What the fuck was that thing?
- You shouldn't have done that.
- [David] Shouldn't have done what?
What are we talking about?
- Nevermind, it's nothing, actually.
Forget this ever happened.
- [David] What is the
deal with that crystal?
- Nothing. You can't
tell anyone about this.
In fact, you won't even
remember it. Just like that.
(Fingers snap) (Vehicle rumbling)
(Blinker clicking)
(Vehicle rumbling)
(Vehicle rumbling continues)
(Door closes)
- [David] 21:10, end of shift.
Hill, signing off.
- [Roy] Sure, not a problem.
What can I do for you?
- [David] Hey, you know that call
we did yesterday with angel Gomez?
- [Roy] Yeah, what's up?
- [David] I got something going on.
- [Roy] Cool. What's up?
- [David] Ever since we did that call, man,
something's been off.
- [Roy] What's off?
- [David] I think that guy
really put a curse on me.
- [Roy] Oh.
- [David] Does that, does that sound crazy?
(Tense music)
- [Roy] We were pretty rough with him.
- [David] And I really don't wanna
go back to that house either.
- [Roy] Well, hell, shit.
You think one of your
suspects did something,
take it down to services.
Take it to Jason.
- [David] I don't know. I don't know, man.
This is different.
I don't think I wanna
take it to tellerson just yet.
- [Roy] Then why are you asking my advice?
- [David] You were there.
- [Roy] Yeah, but why would
you talk to me about this shit
if you're not even gonna fucking listen?
- [David] Hey, I don't know.
I don't know. This is weird.
I don't really know
what to do about it, man.
- [Roy] Well, I'm busy
over in sanbrook now.
- [David] Well, I'm over here on patrol.
Hey, you're on patrol.
You're on call right now.
What are you doing over there?
- [Roy] None of your fucking business.
Hey, you've gotta man up with this shit
unless you wanna keep
putting me on speaker,
for all the advice you're not even
gonna take in the first place.
- [David] Hey, one more thing.
What if this guy really
did put a curse on me?
- [Roy] I don't know about that.
(David groaning) (Gentle music)
(David groaning continues)
- [David] God. Fuck. (Groans)
(Door knocking) (Gentle music)
- Officer?
- [David] You.
I need to talk to you. Something happened.
- What are you doing back
here? Why are you at my door?
- [David] You have to listen to me.
Something's going on. I
need to know what it is.
- Officer, I'm in the middle
of something. I'm busy.
- [David] Your boyfriend,
angel, he's still in jail.
- I know. I don't need you to tell me that.
- [David] No, I don't need to talk to him.
I need to talk to you.
- Officer, I have company
over. I can't help you.
I'm dealing with some other shit.
- [David] Let me in, please.
You gotta listen to me. I
don't know what's going on.
It's like I'm here, but I got
one foot somewhere else.
I can't explain it.
Please, you gotta help me.
- I have friends over.
I'm dealing with something
else. Have a good night.
- [David] Wait, something's not right.
- I don't care. Goodnight,
thank you for yesterday.
- [David] I'm cursed!
It was your boyfriend. He cursed me.
(Gentle music continues)
- You're cursed?
- [David] I know you have
something to do with this.
- Angel and me are done. We broke up.
- [David] Your boyfriend,
your-your ex-boyfriend,
he did something to me.
I need to know what it is.
- Angel put a curse on
you? How are you so sure?
- [David] It's probably when he said,
"I'm gonna put a curse on you, dog."
- Is that what he fuckin' said?
- [David] Yes.
- (Sighs) I told you not
to look through my stuff.
- [David] It's my job.
- You shouldn't have
gotten pulled into this.
You shouldn't have gone through my things.
- [David] So you do
know what's going on then.
- The thing with angel is
already turning into a mess.
What do we do?
- He's a fucking cop.
- What if he's telling the truth?
- He's wearing a body cam.
- Is that thing recording?
- [David] No, it's off.
- We can't talk to a cop about this.
- We can't let this blow up.
- Well, it's gonna blow up
if we don't handle it, like, right now.
- I knew something was wrong yesterday,
the way the crystal rejected you.
- [David] What crystal?
- Good point. This is an urgent situation.
We-we gotta move on this.
Don't say shit to anyone.
(Diana laughing)
- Yeah, Jasmine. We have the numbers.
Let's just do it ourselves.
- No, I don't wanna escalate this shit.
We're gonna stir shit up again.
- This shit is stupid. It
doesn't belong to them.
We gotta roll up on these bitches.
- I'm not gonna fucking
clean up after angel.
He's already making shit worse on purpose.
- He's gonna keep doing
that. We need to fuck him up.
- No. No.
He's not even safe to be around no more.
None of you get how low he's willing to go.
- You don't need to do it. I'll do it.
She'll fucking do it.
- Well, then, how are you planning on
getting your property back?
- [Jasmine] I don't fucking know.
This shit is getting complicated.
- It's not complicated. And
that shit don't matter to us.
- And we do need to get that book back.
- We can handle it ourselves.
We don't need the fucking cops for that.
(Upbeat music)
(Music player beeps)
- So you are cursed.
You have angel's curse.
- [David] Your ex-boyfriend?
Yes.
- The guy from last night?
- Correct.
- [David] And you're not joking?
You're not fucking kidding with me?
- No, angel put a curse on you.
- [David] How do you know that?
- He has your soul.
- [David] Oh, boy. Okay.
So, you.
What about you? What's your deal?
- I'm a witch.
- [David] Fuck.
- We're all witches. This is our coven.
(Upbeat music)
(Diana laughs)
- Look, we've been doing this a long time,
and this shit ain't nobody's business.
But now she's got her
boyfriend, ex boyfriend,
stealing shit that don't belong to him.
- He figured out and forced me
to teach him some of my magic.
This shit is literally
why we've been fighting.
- [David] Wait, so we need angel
to lift the curse he put on me?
- No, it's a book of spellcraft.
If we're gonna lift your curse,
it's this rare collection
of spells we need.
- Yeah, the book that'll
be required to lift your curse
was stolen by angel a week ago.
That's why we're all here tonight.
We're trying to solve this shit.
- [David] So if angel
stole the book, where is it?
- (Scoffs) He doesn't have it
anymore. He sold it for drugs.
- [David] So where's the drug dealer?
- That's what we're saying.
We can figure that shit out.
- Yeah, it makes sense.
If we get it back, then we
can help this random-ass guy.
- [David] Wait, angel's still in jail.
He's not gonna tell you
who he sold the book to,
not if he won't tell me.
- Angel didn't take his phone
with him when he got arrested.
- [David] That's true.
So you have his phone?
- Yeah, we looked at the
calls, and there's three dealers
who he may have sold it to.
- I know one of 'em. So does she.
Why don't we roll up on these fools?
- [David] So you need me
to ride along with you guys
so you can get back some
piece of stolen property?
- We can help you do
this, or you can help us.
- [David] I'm breaking protocol, okay?
I can't do this. I'm gonna
lose my fucking job.
- Uh, yeah, hi, I didn't want
you getting into my affairs.
How about I go search through your shit?
How does that make you feel?
- [David] Well, that makes me feel uneasy.
- Your soul was taken and
you're worried about your job?
Maybe tonight you don't call the shots.
- [David] What happens
if we can't fix this?
- Officer, I'll make you a deal.
If you can get my book
and bring it back to me,
the four of us will break
that curse on your head.
- [David] So we got three
dealers we're looking at.
And you guys think you
know where we're going?
- Yeah, rival gang territory.
It's like going to Disneyland, bro.
- Yeah, officer.
Tonight's gonna be a different kind of
ride along than you might be used to.
(Upbeat music)
- [Diana] It's that place right there.
No, don't park here. Go down the street.
- [David] So you're gonna
go in here and buy drugs,
and then you're gonna ask about the book?
- [Diana] No, I don't need
to buy drugs. I got drugs.
- Hey, hey, whoa!
- It's cool. He's with me.
- This cop's with you?
Don't bring him here.
- Don't worry about it. He's with us.
- That true? You with her?
- [David] Yeah.
- What's up with you? I
haven't seen you in ages.
- Yeah, I mean, I don't
go to the block no more.
I got my own turf now, you know?
- Hey, that's what's up! You on the ball!
And tell your mom that I
say hi. How's she been doing?
- Yeah, yeah, she's doing good, you know?
Getting older now though.
So, what do y'all need?
- I gotta talk to you.
- About what?
- Hey, I know it's been a minute,
but we're trying to look into something,
and your name came up.
- What do you mean? What's that mean?
- [David] Hey, Caesar, officer David hill.
It's nice to meet you.
We're conducting an investigation.
We think someone might
have sold you a stolen item.
- Oh, yeah? What-what makes you say that?
- [David] It's not about
you. You're not in trouble.
- (Laughs) Oh, I know I'm not in trouble,
but yo, dog, I got people trying to
trade me stuff for drugs all day.
So I probably do have
some stolen shit, you know?
You a real cop, man?
That your badge number?
- [David] Yeah.
- So what, you locking
up all the vatos now?
All the troublemakers and
heartbreakers? Is that it?
- [David] Something like that.
- (Laughs) Well, thank
you for your services, officer.
That's right, homie.
Shit, cleaning up the community and stuff.
Yeah.
- Hey,
I'm just here trying to sell drugs,
and there's people out
there trying to Rob me?
Get them off my front
porch, officer! Right?
(Speaking in foreign
language) Come on inside, huh?
Hey, oh, you hear about Casper?
- Oh, yeah, he passed away,
right? That was last week.
- Yeah, everybody's dying, you know?
Too many funerals and shit.
Oh, my girl, Jackie.
Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi. Nice meeting you.
- Yo, bro. Where do we
know each other from?
- [David] We've never met.
- I swear, you remind me of somebody, eh?
- [David] Must be somebody else.
- Hey, we're looking
for an item. It's a book.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
- (Laughs) What? So you
think I stole something?
That's what this is about.
- [David] We're not saying
you did. You're not in trouble.
- We're trying to locate an item,
and we think that someone might have
sold you stolen property.
- Well, come over here, take a seat.
- [David] We'd rather stand.
- Take a seat, bro. You too, girl.
Come on, you're making
me all nervous and shit.
(Phone beeps)
(Upbeat music)
(Sighs) Dog, I love this track.
Mm.
Hey, yo.
All I wanna do is jam music, you know?
Shit. Check this out.
There's these young bucks, man.
Little kids dressed like
gangsters trying to take me out.
I can't even fucking
relax no more, you know?
- Made your bed, dog.
Now you gotta sleep in it.
- Yeah.
Well, I would,
only the fucking mattress
was on fire all the time.
I mean, these little teens,
they think they're scarface
or some shit, you know?
With all the guns and the bravado.
Shit. You probably
see that stuff a lot, huh?
- [David] Only every day.
- That's right. Ain't
no rest for the wicked.
Soon as you got something for yourself,
somebody's out there just
trying to take that shit away.
- [David] Sounds about right.
- Hey, yo, but these fucking,
these little homies, they-they trip me out.
I mean, if I'm gonna get shot,
I don't want it to be no
fucking 12-year-old kid.
- [David] That makes sense.
- Hell yeah, that shit makes sense.
(Sighs) I mean, it's almost like,
like I gotta have eyes
in the back of my head
or some shit nowadays.
Speaking of, dog,
you mind pulling that weapon out of yours?
- [David] I'm not doing that.
- Is there a reason why not?
- [David] Yeah, I'm a cop.
- Well, I'm asking. Please?
- [David] I'm sorry, man. I'm not doing it.
- What if I insist?
- Caesar.
- Shh. I'm talking to your friend, huh?
I don't like that gun of his.
- [David] The gun stays on the belt, man.
- Caesar, he's a cop.
- Hey, yo, you're in my
crib. You're my guest.
That shit's disrespectful.
What's up with that, huh?
(Laughs) I'm just fucking playing, man!
(Laughs) I don't give a fuck.
Dog, that shit's your weapon.
I-I could never ask something
like that from you, man.
- Yo, Caesar, we gotta
figure this out, okay?
We don't got that much time.
- [David] We need to
know if you've seen angel.
- Angel? Yeah, I've seen him around.
(Sighs) But, yo, you sure we've never met?
- [David] We've never met.
- You ever up in Pasadena?
You remind me of some bat over there, man.
- [David] Yeah, like who?
- That's what I'm trying to figure out.
- [David] Must be my twin brother.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
- Must be his twin brother.
You ain't got no twin, fool.
- [David] Hey, man, what's the problem?
- I ain't got no problem.
Just trying to place your face, man.
And just so you know,
that shit's the oldest
trick in the hood, right?
- [David] Yeah, what is?
- That shit, blaming
something on a twin brother.
That shit's an insult, man.
You trying to play me like that? Hm?
- Come on, bro. You gotta stop tripping.
- Where you from, man?
Yo, Caesar.
- Who you with?
- [Diana] He's a cop.
No one's flying colors up on you like that.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
Hey, it's not like that.
- No one's coming up
on you like that.
- Where you from?
- [Diana] Caesar.
- Ah.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
- [Diana] Bro, I'm not trying to put you
in your house like that, dog.
- Shit.
Fuck you, homebody, take me down!
- I'm not rolling with your
enemies like that, fool!
- Caesar, she said she was cool.
- Can take all you mother fuckers down.
- [David] Hey, sit down, man.
We're not doing all this shit.
- Bro, come on!
You know that no one's
running up on you like that, okay?
Come on. You know me.
You know my family. We're
not on the fucking menu, bro.
- Where's your face from, man?
How the fuck do I know you?
- [David] You wanna know
why you recognize me?
I was there the night you got busted.
- That's right.
- [David] I was a rookie,
man. You were a fucking kid.
- No shit. Speak of the devil.
- [David] I remember all your charges, too.
Attempted murder, assault
on a po. I can go on if you want.
- Yo, you put me away, man.
- [David] You put yourself away.
- I did five years for that shit.
- [David] We're not doing this, man.
And you should have done 10 years.
- You wanna know where it's at,
that thing you've been looking for?
- [David] Did she even tell you what
we were looking for?
- She didn't have to, ese.
She didn't have to,
man. It's right over there.
Inside the microwave, huh?
- [David] You put a
book inside a microwave?
- Go check for yourself, fool.
- [David] Hey, listen,
man, we're not doing-
- that's why you're here!
- [David] Hey, step back.
- That's what you wanted, homes.
- [David] Hey, we're not doing this.
(Caesar speaking in foreign language)
It's not like that.
- Take it back again.
- [David] Step back.
I'm not fucking asking!
- Yo. You wanna put me away?
Just arrest me, carnal.
Come on, homes.
Hey.
- Get those cuffs
on me right now.
- Hey, hey, hey.
You're not under arrest, man, okay?
You and me? We're good.
I didn't see shit.
- [Diana] Caesar, listen to him.
- Do it, ese. Do it.
Get those cuffs on me, homes.
- [Jackie] Caesar, come over here.
- [David] I'm stepping away, man.
I'm putting the gun away.
(Caesar sighs)
- Caesar, did angel sell
you an old, crusty book?
- Yeah, he fucking tried to.
I don't want that shit though.
- Dog! That took nine fucking years!
(Vehicle rumbling)
Oh, shit.
- What?
- [David] Angel's out of jail.
- [Jasmine] You don't
even know what this did.
Do you know what you did?
Your dumb ass doesn't even fucking care.
- No, no, hold up.
You're not the one to take off to jail
every time we start fighting.
- I didn't want you to go to jail.
Why do you think I kept this shit
from you in the first place, bitch?
- I ain't moving out. I'm
on the fucking lease, jas!
- I knew you would get into my business
and turn this into some
big, old fucking mess.
And now you got him involved.
- Oh.
(Tense music)
There he is.
You can't just leave this shit alone, huh?
- Angel, who did you sell it to?
We're gonna find my book tonight.
You can count on that shit.
- Can't stay out of
other people's business.
So it's like that.
- [David] It's not like
anything, man, okay?
I need to know what the fuck you did to me.
- You got me arrested. Get
between me and my lady.
Oh, you deserve everything you got coming.
- [David] Look, angel.
I like to work with people, man, okay?
I just need to know
what you do with my soul.
- Dog, I'm gonna fucking crush your soul.
- [David] Wait. Wait, man, please.
- You're not protected. Not from this, no.
- [Jasmine] Angel, if
you put a curse on him...
- This shit's getting serious.
- [David] You're goddamn
right it's getting serious.
Now are you gonna help me or not?
- You walked into the wrong house, bro.
No, I'm just getting started.
As for you, I know all
your fucking little secrets.
You should have been
more careful. Both of you.
(Tense music continues)
- He runs his mouth a lot,
but you'll wanna take that shit seriously.
- [David] So you're gonna help me figure
this shit out, right?
- Hold on, I gotta sort
some shit out real quick.
(Tense music)
Angel's not gonna stop.
He's gonna take this shit as far as he can.
He's fucking serious.
- We need to go after angel.
Who gives a fuck about the book?
- Well, it's gonna fall
into the wrong hands.
- It already has. It's too late.
He's blowing our cover.
Your fucking ex is ruining
what we've spent years keeping a secret.
- Our only business is
with that book! Fuck angel!
And we gotta clean up this shit real quick.
- It's true, it's too much magic.
It's too much high caliber power.
We gotta get my spells back.
- Well, we know Caesar doesn't have it,
so who's next on the list?
- We're down to the guys at
del Rosa and Sean Crawford.
He's the guy that pulls a
lot of weight over on the hills.
- Well, yeah, the ones in del Rosa,
my ex still deals with them.
They have a trailer up in the mines.
- Then let's go knock on their door.
- [David] Is there a reason
you're not telling me anything?
- [Jasmine] Yes.
- [David] Why do I not feel so good?
- Take a guess.
- [David] But I'm
gonna be all right, right?
Like, this is a normal
night out for you girls.
- [Both] No.
(Tense music continues)
(Door closes)
(Birds chirping)
- [David] So what are these guys like?
Do we know their names?
- I think it's Cole. I don't remember.
- [David] What are they like?
- Well, they don't fuck
around from what I know, so.
- [David] All right.
Here, you guys stay in the car.
Keep the doors locked. I'll go talk to 'em.
- Officer.
- [David] Hi, there. Is your name Cole?
- What are you doing out here
in the middle of nowhere, officer?
Is-is there some kind of problem?
- [David] Yeah, there
is. Maybe you can help.
I'm doing an investigation.
I'm looking for a book.
I need to know if you've
seen angel. Has he been here?
- Uh...
Uh, I don't know any angels, officer.
- [David] Oh, really?
Well, listen, man, we've got correspondence
of you two talking on the phone, so.
- What is this?
- [David] I just told you,
I'm doing an investigation.
- Uh, yeah, well, um,
what are you doing out here?
- [David] Listen, man, it's not about you.
You're not in trouble.
- I know I'm not in any trouble.
You don't need to tell
me that, officer David.
(Chuckles) Okay, what, is this angel guy
snitching or something?
- [David] I didn't say that.
But if he did, is there
something you're hiding?
- If I did, it wouldn't be
any of your damn business.
- [David] I don't disagree.
Listen, man, we're tracing
angel's footsteps, okay?
Knocking on doors. I just
need you to cooperate.
(Cole chuckles)
It didn't go anywhere.
- What did he say?
- [David] (Sighs) They're hiding something,
but I don't think it's the book.
They don't have it.
(Engine roaring)
- [Jasmine] Who is that?
- [Cole] Let's go, man, come on.
Get your fucking ass over here.
All right, get over here. Come on.
Put your hands out.
Come on, don't fucking talk.
You, stay put. Don't fucking move.
You two, come on.
Everything outta your pockets.
Put it on the floor.
- Hey, listen, buddy,
I'm not fucking lying to you.
- [Cole] Don't be shy.
Come on, weapon, keys, and wallets.
Come on, put 'em on the floor,
on the carpet right now.
- Hey, hey.
You don't need the girls,
man. Let the girls drive off.
- What are you, born in a fucking barn?
Shut the fuck up.
- Come on, man, what are we doing here?
- [Cole] Gotta figure
that out. You, come here.
(Atmospheric music)
- Officer, officer, officer.
Come on.
(David groaning)
Come on. Wake up.
Please, let's not do this right now.
You were knocked unconscious, okay?
Those guys threw us in here
and they beat you up pretty hard.
I just don't think we have a lot of time.
They think I'm helping you right now.
In the living room,
if she's not able to talk our
way out of this, I don't know.
Okay, this is bad.
They're saying something,
but I can't hear them.
They're not letting Jasmine talk.
They keep interrupting her. Fuck.
Okay, let's get you down here, okay?
You're really not doing well.
It's worse than I thought.
Listen, I'm gonna tell you
what's gonna happen, okay?
They're about to find you and torture you.
It's what they do, it's
what they're known for,
and they're never gonna let us go free.
And once Jasmine finds that out,
they're gonna come back here for us.
Okay, so you're really
fading away, aren't you?
Officer, I have to keep
you awake, all right?
Just please don't fucking pass out.
Like, you don't have to save us,
but I'm not gonna be
responsible for you either.
A few years after he
got released from state,
things got really hot one night.
My father was hosting a card game.
It was a crazy night of drinking,
him and all his buddies,
everyone was on drugs,
and then there was this guy from Tijuana,
some farm worker who pulls out a gun
and decides that he
wants to play the devil.
(Chuckles) Pulls out a gun and he
wants to play a game of Russian roulette,
you know, putting a gun to
his head, clicking the chamber.
And he keeps on doing
this, and everyone's jumping,
but also kind of laughing.
And then he accidentally
got the right chamber
and shot himself in the head.
I was seven years old when
that happened in my kitchen.
Spent the rest of the
night cleaning that shit up,
getting rid of the body.
But then things got messy.
Because on the road, on
the way to dump the body,
I get pulled over, some traffic violation,
and the cop wanted to see behind the trunk.
(Tense music)
You remember when I said everyone
has a line that they won't cross?
For my father, meant crossing
every other line imaginable
if that meant not going back,
including killing a cop,
which is what he did that night.
The lengths people take, officer,
to not get taken down by people like you,
the lengths people go to
take care of their own family
by taking care of their own skin,
there's no reason to believe
the guys in the living
room are any different.
I think I hear something.
- What's your business? What are you doing?
- [David] I already told you, man.
I'm not fucking lying to you.
- I don't care. What's your business?
- [David] I'm looking for a book.
- (Chuckles) You weren't
expecting this, were you?
(Tense music)
Look at you.
You ain't got nowhere to
go, all tied up in that chair.
What do you think about that back there?
- Yeah, he definitely ain't going anywhere.
(Cole chuckles)
- You might as well have
just handed me your gun.
You're just a bad cop.
- [David] Yeah, there's a
lot of things I'm not tonight.
I told you, man. I'm
not fucking lying to you.
- Okay. What's your business?
- [David] We're looking for a book.
Hey, look at me, man.
You kill those two girls,
nobody's gonna care.
Maybe you get five years.
You kill a cop, it's a
whole nother ballgame.
It's the worst thing you could possibly do.
- Do you think being a
cop saves you out here?
You think wearing a badge out here
in the middle of nowhere
is gonna make you safe?
You gonna call the cops?
No, no one calls the cops.
They call us. For that,
you have to deal with us.
Let's go.
You, you take her.
Hey.
- I want that one.
- [David] Hey, Cole, stop, man!
- Shut the fuck up!
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Body camera buzzing)
(Body camera buzzing continues)
- [Jasmine] What the fuck was that?
- [David] Are you good? Is everybody good?
- [Jasmine] Do we look good?
- [David] Do you need a hospital?
- [Both] No!
- [David] I need to go talk to angel.
I need to see your ex. Where is he?
- [Jasmine] He's not gonna listen to you.
- [David] Well, where's he gonna be at?
- [Jasmine] Staying with a friend?
I think they're over in Covina.
- [David] Well, let's go talk to him.
(Brakes screeching)
(Door slams)
(Upbeat music)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Upbeat music continues)
(Door bangs)
- Yo, what the fuck?
- [David] Stay there. Don't fucking move.
- Bro, you're in my crib.
What the fuck is your problem?
- [David] This fucking guy. Get up.
Yeah, you mother fucker.
I know what you did.
You're gonna fix it tonight.
- Bro, you can't be here
like this. You gotta bounce.
- [David] Hey, I don't care.
- Hey, man, you gotta take
a backseat and slow your roll.
You sure you wanna do this?
- [David] Shut the fuck up.
- I ain't fucking scared of cops, bro!
You trying to fuck around and find out?
- [David] What does it look
like? You, get over there.
Me?
- Yeah, you.
You're gonna help me fix this tonight.
- I don't fucking care.
That shit's done. It's over, right?
You're too late.
No offense, bro, but it doesn't look like
you're having the best of days.
- [David] Yeah, why do you think that is?
- Well, then, you gotta ask yourself this.
How's that shit gonna matter anyway?
You're on the last call
you'll ever fucking make.
It's just the end of the days
for you, homes. Come on.
- [David] No. Fuck you, man, okay?
I already know that you did this.
You said it so yourself
out there in the front yard.
"I'm gonna put a curse
on you, dog," remember?
So you're gonna fix it.
You're gonna help me.
- Sorry, officer.
I wish I could help, dog, but
you got the wrong bandito.
- [David] No.
- I wouldn't know what
you're talking about.
- [David] It's bullshit, man, okay?
You're gonna fix this tonight. Help me.
- I can't do that. It's outta my control.
- [David] It's the one
thing in your control, man.
It's the one thing you can
do. Keep yourself outta prison.
- Oh, so it's like that?
- [David] It's not like anything.
The cop you committed a crime against,
he's gonna help you, keep you outta jail.
It's the one free lottery
ticket you're ever gonna get
in your fucking life, I promise you, man.
- Well, then, you're not gonna
like what I have to say next.
- [David] I don't care, man.
I just want the book, okay?
Caesar didn't have it.
The boys at del Rosa,
there's a lot of things
they don't have anymore.
Is it at the house of Sean Coleman?
- Bro, you're not listening, all right?
What I'm trying to fucking
tell you is it wasn't me.
I didn't put the curse on you, dog.
- [David] Oh, yeah?
Then why am I having the
worst fucking day I've ever had?
- Bro, it was Jasmine, all right?
Open your eyes, fool.
Jasmine put a curse on you. Not me, dog.
Shit, I was just running
my mouth the other day.
I swear. I don't fuck with that shit.
She's the one messing with your head.
Come on. What else did she say?
- [David] Why would she do that?
- I didn't steal the book, all right?
And nobody else did either.
- [David] You're lying
to my fucking face, man.
- They've been looking for
that shit for years, homes.
They're getting close.
What, let me guess, they've
been sending you out to find it?
- [David] No, they
wouldn't do that to a cop.
- Ah, come on, dog, you being a fucking cop
is the whole fucking reason they chose you.
You can do things they can't,
get to places they can't get to.
You're doing all the work.
- [David] Oh my god, man.
- The curse you got, they put on you.
You belong to them now.
- Y'all fucked up, dog.
- (Chuckles) Jasmine isn't
the lady you think she is.
She's like me. She's bad, dog.
She's a heina.
- [David] No, you're just
telling me this to turn on her.
- No. I want that book of spells.
- [David] Why do you want it?
- That ain't business,
dog. Worry about yourself.
- [David] Nah. What do
you get out of this deal?
- Look, this is what I got to offer, right?
You help me break into
this guy Sean's crib house,
and we can get that book.
If it's him, we know where the vault's at.
Let's go get it.
- [David] No, I'm not breaking
into some guy's house, man.
I'm not committing burglary.
- You already narrowed
it down to Sean's crib.
Let's just go for it. Help
me, we can break that curse.
- [David] No, it's too
far, man. I'm not doing it.
- Come on, how good does freedom sound?
- [David] I'm not doing it.
- Fuck you, then.
Go let my ex ruing
your fucking life, all right?
(Vehicle rumbling)
- [David] No, this is on you.
This is your fucking problem.
- We made it your problem.
Finding this book is crucial.
Do this one last thing and we let you walk.
- [David] No, I'm not
fucking helping you anymore.
It's over.
(Atmospheric music)
(Diana whispering)
- We had an agreement.
You need to roll with angel,
break into that house
and get us what we need.
- [David] I'm not rolling with angel
to some fucking house, okay, with his crew.
That's the line in the sand.
- Go with angel. Get the book.
Bring it to us.
- [David] No.
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
You ladies are on your own.
- We had a deal.
- [David] Well, I don't fucking care.
It's over. I don't need your
help to break the curse anyway.
- What hangs over you, what
are you gonna do about it?
- [David] I don't know.
I'll think of something.
- Then I guess you don't need us.
- [David] No, I don't. I'll
fucking figure it out myself.
- Are you working with angel?
- [David] No. It wouldn't matter if I was.
- So you are working with him.
- [David] No, I'm not conspiring
with angel against you.
The point is, I'm not gonna
fucking help any of you.
The point is, you fucking lied to me!
You didn't wanna break the curse.
You could have if you wanted
to. You didn't need the book.
You didn't need it the whole time.
You just had me fucking running around
on some scavenger hunt, stealing shit.
So no, I'm not gonna do whatever you want
or go wherever the fuck you want.
You're on your own.
This is your fucking problem.
You take responsibility.
- Officer, you're going to do this.
We had a deal, and you're not finished.
And I'm not fucking asking you.
- [David] Yeah, that's the
one fucking smart thing
you've done all night,
is not fucking ask me.
You ladies have a good night.
- Stop.
You don't understand.
We had a deal. You have to honor a deal.
A deal is...
(Energy pulses) Binding.
(David groans)
What do you think happens
to a cop without a soul?
We didn't mention the
clock you're trapped under.
You're running out of time, officer hill.
(David coughs)
You're going to help
angel break into that house,
you're gonna bring me my book,
and you're going to earn your freedom.
You work for us.
(Atmospheric music)
(Atmospheric music continues)
- So, if it's a private vault,
it's gonna be back here.
That's where they usually keep it,
in the back of their
big-ass walk-in closets.
- Yeah, well, we got time.
- Bro, we ain't gonna have that much time.
- Come on, dog. Lakers
are fucking playing tonight.
He's got courtside seats.
He ain't gonna be at his fucking crib.
- No, he's already gonna be back there.
- Match is in Vegas, all
right? Chill the fuck out.
He ain't gonna be in fucking
town. We got this shit on lock.
(Upbeat music)
- How about it? It's up to our boy.
You ready?
- You ready, parito?
This is your show with
the big boys tonight.
- [David] Wait a second.
You said the guy's rich.
He's gonna have cameras everywhere.
He's gonna see us break in.
- Don't worry. This is
why we got these, all right?
Look. He ain't gonna
notice nothing with these on.
You guys wanna switch, actually?
(Tense music)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)

(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
(Tense music continues)
- Fuck, man, you think this is it?
- Look at it, bro. Of course it fucking is.
- I'm buzzing just looking at it, dog.
- We fucking killed that shit, right?
- That's a trip.
- I'm not fucking around.
- I don't even wanna touch it.
How much do you think it's worth, man?
- Fucking money ain't
got shit on this, dog.
This shit ain't for sale.
This is a fucking ak-47, dog.
(Vehicle rumbling)
(Door closes)
Hey. I'm going out of my way, all right?
You got yourself a deal.
- [David] Right when I get the book, man,
it's coming back to you.
- [Angel] Hey, one
night, all right? 24 hours.
You better get my fucking book.
- [David] I can't tell you how
much this means to me, angel.
Right after the ritual is over, man,
I promise, I'll bring it right back to you.
- [Angel] Hey, you tell her it ain't her
fucking book, all right?
It's mine. I want that shit, all right?
- [David] It's yours, dude. I promise.
- Turned out to be better
than I expected, honestly.
Just don't fuck with me again, all right?
I got you, man.
- Watch yourself.
Hey, good luck with
those witches, all right?
Hey, start the car. Good luck.
My book. Don't forget about it.
It's yours, man.
- Let's go.
(Vehicle rumbling)
(David sighs) (Wind blowing)
(Wind blowing continues)
- How'd it go?
- [David] We got it.
You got it?
- Yeah, this is it.
This is what you're looking for, right?
- Holy shit.
- [David] You guys were
right. It was at Sean's house.
- Oh my god.
- [David] Let's go show 'em.
(Door squeaks)
- What happened?
- Take a look.
We found it.
- Is that it?
- [David] This is it. This is the one.
- Show Jasmine.
(Ericka yelling in foreign language)
- We don't have any fucking time for this.
And does she think that we have
enough fucking time to do this?
Hey.
- What?
- He's back.
- And?
- Look at what he brought.
(Crickets chirping)
- Oh my god.
Oh my god. Jas.
(Crickets chirping continues)
- Well, look at that.
- The scrolls of the black moon.
We knew it was real.
- Yeah, it's really in your
hands. It was all true.
- How the fuck did we find it?
- Oh my god.
- What does this mean for us now?
- It means we have a ritual to perform.
You ready?
- [David] Yeah.
- Don't move. Don't talk.
Follow our direction down to the detail.
- [David] What if I have any questions?
Are you gonna tell me what to do?
- No, you're not gonna do anything.
It's really important you
don't talk when we do this.
You can't fuck this up.
- I can feel it.
Me too.
- It's the real deal.
- You gotta understand,
this is a really tricky
piece of craft to pull off.
It's really important you don't talk.
- [David] Hey, this is important to me too.
Why do you think I'm not listening?
- Just don't say nothing, all right?
Just don't say shit. It don't matter why.
Don't fucking talk.
We're gonna escort you, okay?
We're ready.
- Just follow direction.
(Footsteps padding)
- Hey.
They're ready.
(Atmospheric music)
(Atmospheric music continues)
- So we begin.
From the scrolls of the black
moon, we call the corners.
I summon the spirits of the
east, the living, and the dead.
- I summon the spirits of the south.
A spindle, a rock, a wood tabletop.
- I summon the spirits of the west.
A hex, the devil, a metal tea kettle.
- Ericka, it's your turn. Call the corner.
- No.
- No?
- No.
- Why not?
- I won't do it.
- What's the issue?
- I'm not gonna help him. We can't do this.
- [David] What's going
on? What is she doing?
- Please don't talk. What's the problem?
- I want him to know what it feels like.
I want him to suffer.
- [David] No. No, hold the phone.
- I told you not to talk.
Let me handle this.
Fucking really?
- Yeah. Really.
- [David] You can't do this.
- Do not talk.
- [David] No, you can't fucking red light,
green light this shit all night.
- Let me handle this.
- [David] Then fucking handle it.
You better watch it.
- Ericka.
You'll never have to
deal with this guy again.
Let's wrap this shit up.
- I'm not gonna do it.
- Why?
- I'm not gonna give him freedom.
He doesn't deserve it.
- Either way, it doesn't
matter what he deserves.
We made a fucking promise.
- I don't fucking care.
- [David] You can't do this.
- You are not a part of
this. Please do not talk.
This isn't necessary. What the fuck?
- [David] Jasmine. Do something.
- Why are you standing
in the way all of a sudden?
- Because they get away
with fucking everything.
I wanna deprive him. I'm
not gonna fucking help him.
- [David] Fuck you. Fuck all four of you.
- Do not leave. We're not finished.
- [David] No. Fuck you, I'm done.
It's over.
- Just let me figure this shit out.
- Ericka, we're not gonna
close the door on this
if you don't close the fucking circle.
- I don't fucking care!
I'm not gonna do it.
And any promises we break,
any deals we don't honor
is besides the fucking point.
You're gonna live and die in that prison.
- Ericka's right. We need
to keep him on the hook.
(Chuckles) We need to keep him on his toes.
- [David] No, wait.
- He belongs to us now.
Put a new spell on him.
Make him forget who his new owners are.
- [David] You can't do this.
- Stop talking.
- [David] You can't fucking do this.
- What do you think?
- It's true. He should do more for us.
- [David] No, fuck all this.
- Servitude in exchange for your soul.
- [David] No. Fuck you.
Fuck this.
- If you want your soul,
what are you gonna do for us?
- [David] No, you're not gonna
turn it around on me again, okay?
I fulfilled the terms of the fucking deal.
- No! We helped you get that fucking book!
Now you get to repay us.
What are you going to do for us?
- [David] Do you know
the kind of day I've had?
- Does it look like I give a fuck?
- [David] I did everything you asked!
- Yeah?
That's why you trained so well,
and we're gonna keep
you on a fucking leash.
- [David] You can't keep me on some fucking
hamster wheel all night, doing
whatever the fuck you want!
Says who?
- Says me.
You should have put a curse on angel.
- Who says we didn't?
- [David] The book
doesn't even belong to you.
It's not yours anyways.
- It is now.
- [David] Oh, yeah?
Well, I got a deal with angel,
and the book's going back to him.
- Neither of you is ever
gonna see that book again.
- [David] Who do you think
brought it to you in the first place?
Say what you want about
angel, but he keeps his word.
He and I don't break our fucking deals.
- And what do you think fucking happens
when you don't honor one of angel's deals?
- Your problem is that I will.
(Diana yells) (Energy buzzing)
- What if you don't, homes?
What's angel gonna do?
Don't start shit. I can do anything.
- [David] Jasmine, help me, please.
- Jasmine, he needs four
women to get what he wants.
We need four women to tie
him up and keep him down.
Don't do him any fucking favors.
- [David] Jasmine, please.
- Jasmine, there's nothing
that we don't stand together on.
Come on.
Let's take this cop for all he's worth.
- [David] Jasmine, don't.
- The deal has changed.
You'll need to make an offer.
A fair price for your freedom.
- [David] What about tonight?
- As we said, the deal's changed.
- [David] Everything I've done for you.
- Name the price for your soul.
- [David] I'm not gonna
let you get away with this.
- Officer, without us, your life's over.
And if you don't get
that book back to angel,
he's gonna kill you or die trying.
- And we won't protect you either.
Not if you don't surrender.
And now that your body's a prison,
who do you think has the key?
- Between us and angel,
whose side are you on?
Because from where you're standing,
it doesn't really look that good.
- [David] Sounds like the kind of thing
I'm gonna have to sleep on.
But you can bet I'll be
back for my fucking life.
- We'll see.
- [David] Well, until then,
have a good night, ladies.
- Good luck.
- [David] How is this
possible? What did I just do?
Did it all get recorded?
If the book becomes
evidence, I can get it back.
(Upbeat music)
I tell you, the stars of the la river
are seen from the bodies of
the dead floating downstream.
We'll be seeing if that's true.
