Mr. Anderson, Wayne is
on the phone for you.
Wayne, what's happening?
How is everything?
What happened now, Wayne?
Your boys getting
out of control?
Laing is an officer
of the law.
And if your boys won't listen,
there is very little I can do.
All Chinese business people
knew that Blacka
and Mad Max were behind
-their colleague's murder.
-They never have to kill him.
When things get like that,
it's out of my hands.
Wayne,
you need to come to my office
and see me.
Yo...
[GUN MAN TUNE PLAYING]
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Anderson.
Wayne.
How you doing, friend?
Uh, have a seat,
gentlemen.
Mm.
So,
what can I do
to cool things ?
I don't want you and Officer
Laing going at it, you know.
Come on.
Listen to yourself.
I'm really sorry
about your brother,
but he was like a mad dog
running wild.
Wayne, election is coming up,
and I cannot afford to have
any unnecessary wrongs
in my constituency.
You're going to have
to work with me, Wayne.
As you know,
I have a very good
connection at the embassy.
I will get you
and your friends the visa.
And you leave the island
and go cool out for a while.
Because I can't take the heat
that is about
to come on me.
I have a whole community
depending on me.
Wayne,
there is nothing else
on the table.
Wayne, Wayne,
don't put me in a spot.
Wayne.
Wayne.
Wayne.
ANDY: Detective Laing,
this is Patrick Anderson, MP.
Not good.
Detective,
we both have a common problem.
His name is Wayne.
You're familiar with him,
you killed his brother.
And now it's his turn.
You can find him
at Waterhouse,
anytime after dark.
And, detective,
just make sure
that this problem
is permanently eradicated.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Understand?
-[LINE RINGING]
-Yeah.
-Mr. Anderson's office.
-Hello, good afternoon.
May I speak to Mr. Anderson,
please.
May I ask who's calling,

Tell him it's Detective Laing.

a big misunderstanding.
We can talk, you know, friend.
What about that visa thing
I told you about? Hm?
That deal still stands,

I will personally
take care of it myself.

[BRITISH ACCENT]
"Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
"Whoever could swim past
this swimming pool
"I'll give my daughter
to you."
There was one goddamn problem.
Motherfucker had 20 sharks
in his swimming pool, right?
But you know the Chinaman.
The Chinaman not fear
no fucking thing.
[YELLING]
Shark looked at that
Chinese motherfucker
and just ate him up, man.
So then the white boy
jumped in next.
You know white people,
they always trying to reason.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Yeah, hello.
Forget about the white boy,
all right?
So the black man was in front
of the swimming pool.
Next thing you know: Woo!
And now the black man's
on the other side like this...
[PANTING]
So the king come over
and the king's like
"What is it that you want,
my son?
"I'll give you anything."
The black man look
at the king and he said,
[PANTING]
I want that motherfucker
that threw me
in the motherfucking pool!
[LAUGHS]

White is black
Black is white

Still they fight
I tried to imagine
Night is day
Day is night
Day is night
Sometimes I forget
My whole life
And so I wish
It would rain
[GUNSHOT]
Then maybe
It would wash away my pain
I'm feeling in my soul
I pray my sorrows
Would be long gone
Long, long gone
Before the sunrise
In the morn
Think I'm dying
Children crying
And they have nowhere
To run
In the city
It's a...
Shaman ditty
We can't seem
To have any fun
But, Lord, I am hoping
You know I am praying
To be in the valley
Of the sun
Where the sun shines
So bright
But I heard
A mother's scream
And I saw
A young man fail
There goes another victim
To the gun
And so I wish
It would rain
I wish it would rain
[WHISTLES]
Then maybe
It would wash away my pain
I'm feeling in my soul
I pray my sorrows
Will be long gone
Long, long gone
Before the sunrise
In the morn
Rise in the morning
Rise in the morning
Rise in the morn
Rise in the morn
Rise in the morning

SECRETARY ON PHONE:
Mr. Anderson, Wayne is
on the phone for you.
Wayne, what's happening?
How is everything?
What happened now, Wayne?
Your boys getting
out of control?
Laing is an officer
of the law.
And if your boys won't listen,
there is very little I can do.
All Chinese business people
knew that Blacka
and Mad Max were behind
-their colleague's murder.
-They never have to kill him.
When things get like that,
it's out of my hands.
Wayne,
you need to come to my office
and see me.
Yo...
[GUN MAN TUNE PLAYING]
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Anderson.
Wayne.
How you doing, friend?
Uh, have a seat,
gentlemen.
Mm.
So,
what can I do
to cool things ?
I don't want you and Officer
Laing going at it, you know.
Come on.
Listen to yourself.
I'm really sorry
about your brother,
but he was like a mad dog
running wild.
Wayne, election is coming up,
and I cannot afford to have
any unnecessary wrongs
in my constituency.
You're going to have
to work with me, Wayne.
As you know,
I have a very good
connection at the embassy.
I will get you
and your friends the visa.
And you leave the island
and go cool out for a while.
Because I can't take the heat
that is about
to come on me.
I have a whole community
depending on me.
Wayne,
there is nothing else
on the table.
Wayne, Wayne,
don't put me in a spot.
Wayne.
Wayne.
Wayne.
ANDY: Detective Laing,
this is Patrick Anderson, MP.
Not good.
Detective,
we both have a common problem.
His name is Wayne.
You're familiar with him,
you killed his brother.
And now it's his turn.
You can find him
at Waterhouse,
anytime after dark.
And, detective,
just make sure
that this problem
is permanently eradicated.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Understand?

I will personally
take care of it myself.

[BRITISH ACCENT]
"Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
"Whoever could swim past
this swimming pool
"I'll give my daughter
to you."
There was one goddamn problem.
Motherfucker had 20 sharks
in his swimming pool, right?
But you know the Chinaman.
The Chinaman not fear

Shark looked at that
Chinese motherfucker
and just ate him up, man.

jumped in next.
You know white people,
they always trying to reason.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]

So the black man was in front
of the swimming pool.
Next thing you know: Woo!
And now the black man's
on the other side like this...
[PANTING]
So the king come over
and the king's like
"What is it that you want,
my son?
"I'll give you anything."
The black man look
at the king and he said,
[PANTING]
I want that motherfucker
that threw me
in the motherfucking pool!

It would wash away my pain
I'm feeling in my soul
I pray my sorrows
Would be long gone
Long, long gone
Before the sunrise
In the morn
Think I'm dying
Children crying
And they have nowhere
To run
In the city
It's a...
Shaman ditty
We can't seem
To have any fun
But, Lord, I am hoping
You know I am praying
To be in the valley
Of the sun
Where the sun shines
So bright
But I heard
A mother's scream
And I saw
A young man fail
There goes another victim
To the gun
And so I wish
It would rain
I wish it would rain
[WHISTLES]
Then maybe
It would wash away my pain
I'm feeling in my soul
I pray my sorrows
Will be long gone
Long, long gone
Before the sunrise
In the morn
Rise in the morning
Rise in the morning
Rise in the morn
Rise in the morn
Rise in the morning

Down in the ghetto
It's the bloodshed...
