Also...
173
00:09:37,451 --> 00:09:40,538
I'm collecting for Malik Hayes' service
next Friday.
174
00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:45,418
His mother could really use your help.
Okay?
175
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:47,336
Thank you.
176
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:50,715
Thank you.
177
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:53,509
Thank you.
178
00:09:58,598 --> 00:09:59,724
Quality speech.
179
00:10:00,725 --> 00:10:02,184
[chuckles] Uplifting.
180
00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:04,979
What?
181
00:10:06,897 --> 00:10:08,899
I'm gonna need you to
talk to these fools in payroll.
182
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:10,318
They won't give me my damn check.
183
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:11,235
[scoffs]
184
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:13,112
Listen to the announcements.
185
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:15,698
Nobody's getting paid this week.
186
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:18,242
Downtown messed up payroll again.
187
00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:21,871
I'm gonna need something to hold me over.
188
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:23,372
Like 300.
189
00:10:24,582 --> 00:10:26,292
When am I going to get my nine back?
190
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:29,378
Not the next time I get paid,
191
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,130
but the next time
192
00:10:31,213 --> 00:10:32,465
after the next.
193
00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:33,674
Mm.
194
00:10:33,924 --> 00:10:34,925
On my soul.
195
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:37,261
Or...
196
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:41,724
this is just part of your plan
to get me to move back in?
197

[sighs]
201
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:55,279
Today will be a chance to sign up for ROTC
and the Mathletes club...
202
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:56,197
Tell you what.
203
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,785
Bring me five kids from this list...
204
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:02,578
and I'll give you the three.
205
00:11:04,872 --> 00:11:09,460
So, you want me to go find fools now,
but I'm a security guard.
206
00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:11,837
I secure shit.
207
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:13,673
Then go secure your job.

There's a line over here.
214

-Y'all seen Tony?
-[man] Hey, fuck off, man.

-Young buck, you seen Tony?
-Tony dead.
217
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:53,879
Dead dead,
or not-around-here-no-more dead?
218
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:56,090
Dead dead, motherfucker.
Fucked around and got smoked.
219
00:11:56,841 --> 00:11:57,800
Damn.
220
00:11:57,883 --> 00:11:59,218
Yo, let me hit that.
221
00:12:01,595 --> 00:12:04,014
Man... you're not supposed to be smoking.
222
00:12:04,515 --> 00:12:06,100
Nigga, you ain't supposed to be smoking.
223
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:08,894
Fuck is wrong with this... Man.
224
00:12:08,978 --> 00:12:10,604

Deshawn, why you not in class, boy?
229
00:12:21,323 --> 00:12:22,199
Huh?
230

Hey, if you come back to class,
you could win a McDonald's gift card.

A'ight?

00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:32,084
They're giving away Big Macs.

Uh... Romelo Reese.
I work at the high school.

It says August hasn't been
in class since last October.
240
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:04,074
That can't be right. October?
241
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:05,951
Mm-hmm. That's right.
242
00:13:07,077 --> 00:13:08,037

Hm?
247
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:24,512
I take my son's work to school.
Y'all already know this.
248
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:27,264
Oh. Okay. That's cool.
249
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:33,437
Yeah, but it's a budget thing.
They actually need him in the classroom.

-A budget thing?
-Yeah.
251
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:38,108
So...
252
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:41,570
you gonna take a bullet for him?
253
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:42,655
Well... [chuckles]
254
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,908
That's actually not in my job description,
255
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:47,117
so, no.

Y'all want me to send my son
off to the slaughter.

How long it take you?

Huh? You just feel the bass
and you just build around that?

00:15:41,398 --> 00:15:42,232
Two minutes.

00:15:43,025 --> 00:15:44,944

-Out through the mouth.
-What's going on?

Yeah.

00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:43,544
Well, I was coming out of the bathroom,
I heard music,

00:16:43,627 --> 00:16:46,380
went to where the music was playing,
kid started screaming.
309
00:16:46,463 --> 00:16:47,297
That's what happened.
310
00:16:47,381 --> 00:16:50,634
You went into a student's room
without parental supervision?
311
00:16:50,718 --> 00:16:53,637
Hey, hey, hey, hold up.
You're making it sound inappropriate.
312
00:16:53,721 --> 00:16:54,847
It was.
313
00:16:55,597 --> 00:16:57,099
The kid is incredible.
314
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:59,226
All right, he's some type of...
315
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:01,812

316
00:17:01,895 --> 00:17:04,690
Don't call him that. He's... He's fragile.
317
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:06,984
He's a machine...

just like Tone.
319

You're gon' make me regret this.
321
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:15,242
You promised me
you were done with that music shit.

You told me you were down
for this job, remember?

Get away from my window

Just have an hour to talk music
before they get here.
332

-I ain't supposed to talk to you.
-Harriet Tubman wasn't supposed to run.

It was too fast, man.

Slow it down.

That's what all the great ones do.

They could really use your support.
353

[door buzzer buzzing]
354
00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:07,789
[Romelo] Damn.

What'd you do,
pour the whole box of cereal in that bowl?
356
00:20:11,084 --> 00:20:13,128
I wasn't expecting you
to know about Nomad.
357
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:17,299
Thought you was one of those
old head hip hop dudes.
358
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:19,843
No, man, I go hard on my Brazilian shit.
359
00:20:20,844 --> 00:20:21,845
What you know about 'em?
360
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:24,890
YouTube.
After J. Cole sampled Milton Nascimento,
361
00:20:24,973 --> 00:20:26,141
I went hard on Brazil.
362
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:28,310
Yeah, I got some underground shit
from Trinidad, but...
363
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:31,438
-couldn't fit it on the disc.
-Why you even use CDs?
364
00:20:31,521 --> 00:20:32,856
USB is better.
365
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:36,276
Old head, old habits.
Man, I used to make tapes.
366
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:40,280
You don't know nothing about
the pain of making the perfect mixtape.
367
00:20:40,364 --> 00:20:41,740
Look, August.
368
00:20:42,366 --> 00:20:43,951
I wanna help you with your music, man.
369
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:45,702
You wanna make a bag of money?
370
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:49,373
Why you shrugging?
Man, we gotta move on this, man.
371
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:51,875
I gotta get you with the right MC,
get you some studio time.
372
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:53,669
-We got label meetings--
-Can I do it online?
373
00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:54,670
Online?
374
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:57,089
Nigga, do you know who I am?
375
00:20:57,172 --> 00:20:58,757
-Security guard at my school.
-No.
376
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:02,427
Yeah, I am, but I'm also
a dope-ass manager, man.
377
00:21:02,803 --> 00:21:04,596
I'm the one that discovered Tony Bigs.
378
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,348
You know who Tony Bigs is, right?
379
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:07,266
Everybody do.
380
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:08,183
All right.
381
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:10,269
But I ain't never heard nobody
talking about you.
382
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:11,853
I created that nigga, man.
383
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:13,355
I got him studio hours.
384
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:16,066
I hounded GCI till they played his shit.
385
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:17,067
That was all me.
386
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:19,695
-Merch.
-On my mama's grave.
387

You can't stain me.
388
00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:22,572
Check the liner notes, young'un.
389
00:21:22,656 --> 00:21:24,116
I'm all over that shit.
390
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:30,497
I can make you the most famous
17-year-old in Roseland.
391
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,125
Nah, I'm good.

You're good?
393
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:35,961
Don't look like it.
394
00:21:36,044 --> 00:21:37,963
They up a pole on these music cats.
395
00:21:39,798 --> 00:21:41,883
They killed Tone

00:21:53,687 --> 00:21:55,897
Hell, no, man. He up in Beverly Hills.
402
00:21:56,356 --> 00:21:57,941
Actually, he's in Calabasas.
403

What's the difference? The nigga eatin'.
404

Hey.

00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:35,098
Where you going?
450
00:24:36,516 --> 00:24:37,893
I need my toothbrush.
451
00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:40,937
And my head scarf. I got to go home.
452
00:24:41,938 --> 00:24:42,981
Come on, babe.
453
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:45,233
Come on. Get back in bed.
454
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:47,819
Why?
455
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:50,864
Because you're my wife.
456
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:52,908
Estranged.
457
00:24:55,202 --> 00:24:56,578
I hate it when you say that.
458
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:01,166
Makes it seem like
we don't like each other.
459
00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:18,892
What's this?
460
00:25:24,272 --> 00:25:25,982
Come on, Vanessa, you're still on this?
461
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:28,610
I love you.
462
00:25:29,069 --> 00:25:32,739
Two people who file their taxes separately
can still love each other.
463
00:25:32,822 --> 00:25:34,741
We should be under one roof.
464
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:40,747
Look, babe.
465
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:47,212
I'm going to be the man
that you want me to be.
466
00:25:48,004 --> 00:25:49,339
I'm going to make you proud of me.

on a weekend that saw 54 Chicagoans
injured by gunfire.
470
00:26:04,729 --> 00:26:07,774
And still no answer
to the plague of violence
471
00:26:07,857 --> 00:26:10,569
that has become,
for so many, just another day...
472
00:26:10,652 --> 00:26:11,820
It's 2:30 a.m., Ma.
473
00:26:13,488 --> 00:26:14,948
Your ankle is gonna swell up.
474
00:26:16,783 --> 00:26:18,285
Come on, let's get you to bed.
475
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:19,953

Who is it?
481
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:52,736
It's me. Come on, man. Buzz me in.
482
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:54,112

[breathing heavily]
487
00:27:07,792 --> 00:27:09,794
Come on, man.
You already let me up. What's up?

[knocking at door]
489
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:17,260
You was right about the tempo.
490
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,805
But the people need to hear
what you got locked up, man.
491
00:27:20,889 --> 00:27:22,390
They deserve to hear your gift.
492
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:25,101
And if we can get your ass
some money, even better.
493
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:30,106
Man, it's just got to be me and you.
494
00:27:30,523 --> 00:27:33,151
Can't do no shows. No meetings.
495
00:27:34,027 --> 00:27:36,196
Everything we do got to be in this house.
496
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:39,366
Just need something to help my moms out.

Okay, so now you just flexin' on me.
501
00:28:03,890 --> 00:28:04,808
Nah.

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa.
Sound a little boomy right there.
505
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:20,907

How many more of those
you got stashed away?
515
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:45,724
You gotta go. My mom gets home
in 11 minutes and 11 seconds.

-You gotta go.
-Okay, man.

That means I got at least, what,
eight, nine minutes before she get here.

[Romelo] Way to rip that shit,
Queen Cabrini.

01:07:14,113 --> 01:07:17,158
Huh? How you feeling,
you like that up there? All right.
1268
01:07:17,783 --> 01:07:19,118
Go outside. Niyah.
1269
01:07:19,618 --> 01:07:20,911

Yeah, where else, nigga?
1275
01:07:36,677 --> 01:07:38,679
Look, man, you get ten percent
of what I get,
1276
01:07:38,763 --> 01:07:40,639
plus you get reimbursed
for the studio time.

01:07:42,475 --> 01:07:44,393
That's a hell of a deal
coming out the gate, man.
1279
01:07:44,477 --> 01:07:46,479
Imagine how big Cabrini's gonna be.
1280
01:07:46,562 --> 01:07:49,982
Man, you take that one hit song and
you turn that into a roster of artists.
1281
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:53,235
We own the label, man. I did it before.
1282
01:07:53,319 --> 01:07:54,612
I'mma do it right this time.
1283
01:07:55,821 --> 01:07:56,781

That show was so dope. I mean...
1296
01:08:42,368 --> 01:08:44,703
Who'd have thought?
Cabrini killed that joint, and...
1297
01:08:45,454 --> 01:08:47,706
I was very happy to hear my song.
1298
01:08:51,043 --> 01:08:53,796

Well, now that you got
all that Uber money, I mean, shit.
1371

I should've told you about August sooner,
but it all just happened so sudden.
1372
01:13:35,077 --> 01:13:37,413
You are a staff member that I hired.
1373
01:13:37,496 --> 01:13:39,873
He is a student.
How do you think that makes me look?
1374
01:13:40,999 --> 01:13:43,919
He wasn't smoking, he wasn't drinking,
he was just out having a good time.
1375
01:13:44,002 --> 01:13:45,379
His mother could sue the school.

-Come on.
-She just had you arrested.
1377
01:13:49,049 --> 01:13:51,677
You know what?
As a matter of fact, this is my fault,
1378
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:54,346
for believing that hustle
about you needing this damn job.
1379
01:13:54,430 --> 01:13:55,722
But I did need it.

01:14:04,940 --> 01:14:07,901
Vanessa, this kid is our way back in.
1384
01:14:08,318 --> 01:14:09,987
I'm really trying to help these kids,
1385
01:14:10,070 --> 01:14:12,114
and you out here
trying to get rich off of 'em.
1386
01:14:13,407 --> 01:14:15,701
-Hey, Vee, that is not--
-Don't fucking touch me.
1387
01:14:16,076 --> 01:14:18,912
I'm about a second away
from busting you in your damn mouth.
1388
01:14:19,955 --> 01:14:21,540
Just sign the damn papers.
1389
01:14:21,623 --> 01:14:23,959
-Vanessa, come on.
-Stop playing this house shit.
1390
01:14:25,752 --> 01:14:27,880
I just took the boy to a block party!
1391
01:14:29,131 --> 01:14:29,965
Really?
1392
01:14:31,592 --> 01:14:32,885
[car engine starting]
1393
01:14:32,968 --> 01:14:34,887
So, you're just gonna
leave me standing here, huh?
1394
01:14:59,995 --> 01:15:01,914
I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, Mom.
1395
01:15:02,915 --> 01:15:04,500
No one loves you more than me.
1396
01:15:07,586 --> 01:15:08,462
You know that, right?
1397
01:15:09,838 --> 01:15:11,507
And you know that I need you.
1398
01:15:13,050 --> 01:15:14,301
It's just you and me now.
1399
01:15:17,638 --> 01:15:19,223
-I just thought we was--
-[pounds table]
1400
01:15:19,306 --> 01:15:20,140
What?
1401
01:15:20,682 --> 01:15:22,434
You thought you'd be back
before I got home?
1402
01:15:22,851 --> 01:15:24,728
I got to be able to trust you
in this house.
1403
01:15:24,811 --> 01:15:27,105
Everybody liked the song
that me and Romelo made.
1404
01:15:28,232 --> 01:15:29,191
And...
1405
01:15:29,775 --> 01:15:30,734
Niyah was there.
1406
01:15:30,817 --> 01:15:31,818
Oh, Niyah?
1407
01:15:33,237 --> 01:15:35,155
Oh. So you got your nose open now.
1408
01:15:35,239 --> 01:15:36,865
Is that why you acting so crazy?
1409
01:15:36,949 --> 01:15:38,867
Oh, you think you're grown now, okay.
1410
01:15:40,244 --> 01:15:42,329
I mean, you're making decisions
that affect this house,
1411
01:15:42,412 --> 01:15:43,580
so you must think you grown.
1412
01:15:43,664 --> 01:15:44,915
All I did was go to a party.
1413
01:15:44,998 --> 01:15:47,626
And kids get killed at parties every day.
1414
01:15:48,460 --> 01:15:51,046
-I wasn't even thinking about that.
-Well, I know that's right.
1415
01:15:51,129 --> 01:15:53,006
If something had happened to you,
August...
1416
01:15:53,090 --> 01:15:55,217
Anything could've happened to you.
1417
01:15:55,300 --> 01:15:56,843
-But it didn't.
-And-- Don't.
1418
01:15:58,053 --> 01:16:00,556
Don't you make it seem like
I'm the crazy one.
1419
01:16:07,187 --> 01:16:08,438
I gotta go to work.
1420
01:16:21,076 --> 01:16:22,035
She's right.
1421
01:16:28,125 --> 01:16:29,251
[knocking at door]
1422
01:16:29,876 --> 01:16:31,169
[Romelo] Come on, man, open up.
1423
01:16:35,632 --> 01:16:36,550
I bought gyros.
1424
01:16:37,175 --> 01:16:38,010
I can't.
1425
01:16:38,093 --> 01:16:39,928
Come on, last night didn't end right.
All right?
1426
01:16:40,012 --> 01:16:42,556
But we got real momentum, August.
We got to keep moving on that.
1427
01:16:42,639 --> 01:16:43,599
Damn, man.
1428
01:16:44,474 --> 01:16:45,350
You just don't get it.
1429
01:16:45,434 --> 01:16:47,686
I should've never let you
talk me into all this stuff.
1430
01:16:49,938 --> 01:16:51,815
-My mom, she--
-Hey, look, hey, hey, August,
1431
01:16:51,898 --> 01:16:53,734
we got to keep moving on that, all right?
1432
01:16:53,817 --> 01:16:55,444
She'll get over it, man, trust me.
1433
01:16:55,527 --> 01:16:58,280
We can't stop the creative process, man,
look, because--
1434
01:16:59,531 --> 01:17:01,241
[door locking]
1435
01:17:04,578 --> 01:17:06,538
[Terrence]
You ever played billiards before?
1436
01:17:07,623 --> 01:17:10,584
She called it pool. I thought
maybe she was swinging. I wasn't sure.
1437
01:17:10,667 --> 01:17:12,628
-[Cabrini] Guys, kill the noise.
-[Terrence] Okay.
1438
01:17:12,711 --> 01:17:15,213
I'm saying we got to start
that cross-branding shit.
1439
01:17:15,297 --> 01:17:16,882
We got to brand you, get that drink,
1440
01:17:16,965 --> 01:17:19,343
the-- the Cabrini Martini,
you know what I'm saying?
1441
01:17:24,222 --> 01:17:25,474
What's going on in here?
1442
01:17:29,227 --> 01:17:30,228
[Romelo] Huh?
1443
01:17:32,606 --> 01:17:34,441
Sitting back thinking about
how you did Tone.
1444
01:17:34,858 --> 01:17:37,527
-That was grimy as shit, bro.
-You don't know nothing about that.
1445
01:17:39,237 --> 01:17:40,530
The karma not right.
1446
01:17:40,864 --> 01:17:42,240
You got to work on that redemption.
1447
01:17:43,033 --> 01:17:44,451
Mister, what did you do?
1448
01:17:45,118 --> 01:17:46,203
What'd I do?
1449
01:17:46,995 --> 01:17:47,913
Ten percent?
1450
01:17:48,497 --> 01:17:49,665
Of your ten percent?
1451
01:17:51,166 --> 01:17:52,334
That's the best I could get?
1452
01:17:52,417 --> 01:17:54,002
-Me?
-Yeah, nigga.
1453
01:17:54,086 --> 01:17:56,254
-[Mister scoffs]
-It ain't nothing personal, Ro.
1454
01:17:56,797 --> 01:17:57,923
You still my dog.
1455
01:17:58,382 --> 01:18:00,008
It's just business.
1456
01:18:00,092 --> 01:18:03,053
Terrence, come on, man. What the fuck
is going on? She is my artist.
1457
01:18:03,136 --> 01:18:05,514
It's what homegirl said.
It's nothing personal, man.
1458
01:18:05,597 --> 01:18:08,475
Come on, Mister. You know
I'm trying to get this shit right again.
1459
01:18:09,851 --> 01:18:12,521
Trying to get this shit--
Romelo, she's too big for you, dog.
1460
01:18:12,604 --> 01:18:13,522
What?
1461
01:18:14,022 --> 01:18:16,900
Dog, you had to come beg me
to let her open for free.
1462
01:18:16,983 --> 01:18:19,444
Hey. Terrence, fuck you, man!
Fuck you, man!
1463
01:18:19,528 --> 01:18:21,405
I came to you with
a motherfucking deal, man!
1464
01:18:21,488 --> 01:18:23,198
I put hard work into this shit, man!
1465
01:18:23,281 --> 01:18:24,866
You're not doing none of that. Back up.
1466
01:18:25,075 --> 01:18:27,160
Can't let you put your hands
on my partner like that.
1467
01:18:29,955 --> 01:18:31,873
-Your partner?
-Back up. My partner.
1468
01:18:33,208 --> 01:18:34,126
Oh.
1469
01:18:34,209 --> 01:18:36,461
We both know you would've
fucked this up, man.
1470
01:18:40,632 --> 01:18:41,633
Okay.
1471
01:18:44,094 --> 01:18:45,053
Fuck you.
1472
01:18:47,180 --> 01:18:50,809
Hey, man, it is what it is.
Cabrini's part of the Ill Note family now.
1473
01:18:52,644 --> 01:18:54,229
But you do recognize talent.
1474
01:18:55,021 --> 01:18:57,691
Yo, what about that, uh,
that producer kid, what's his name?
1475
01:18:58,942 --> 01:18:59,776
Austin?
1476

-What's up, man, how you been?
-Like you give a fuck.
1480
01:19:24,843 --> 01:19:25,969
So, what you say to her?

-What?
-Niyah.
1482
01:19:28,096 --> 01:19:30,474
She ain't talking to me.
I heard you and her been kicking it.
1483
01:19:30,557 --> 01:19:31,975
So I know you sneak dissin' on me.
1484

-I didn't say nothing about you.
-Bullshit.
1485
01:19:34,311 --> 01:19:36,313
I ain't step to her all last year
because of you,
1486
01:19:36,396 --> 01:19:38,565
and now we talking,
and you just wanna pop back up?

That's some bitch-ass shit.

Why she like your fat ass anyway?
1489

Unless you're fucking with me?
1490
01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:47,741

Man, why you got that here?
1494
01:20:07,469 --> 01:20:09,054
I wasn't gonna dead your ass.
I always got it.
1495
01:20:09,137 --> 01:20:10,096
But you don't need it.
1496
01:20:10,180 --> 01:20:11,932
How the fuck you gonna tell me
what I need?

You gonna have my back?
1501
01:20:24,569 --> 01:20:25,946
That's what the fuck I thought.
1502
01:20:27,531 --> 01:20:29,449
I better not catch your ass
on the block again,

Didn't I tell you
to stay away from my son?

I didn't come here for that.
I came to talk to you.

That's your apology?

01:24:39,741 --> 01:24:42,327
Hm. I'm not apologizing,
just explaining what happened.

He needs friends.

He needs a purpose.
1564

No, he needs to make it
to his 18th birthday.

Your son is very talented.
1566

Not too many people can do what he can.
1567
01:25:06,684 --> 01:25:09,854
He can do big things in this world,
but he's got to be in the world.

It's complicated, all right? Look, we can
get a deal someplace else, trust me.
1738
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:46,847
If you trust him,
you might end up like Tone.
1739

1744

that he had to steal checks
from Tone's moms just to dig hisself out.
