이번
산불 사태에 대한

 

솔로몬 대위님
말씀을 들어보죠

 

현재
상황이 어떻습니까?

 

모두 최선을
다하고 있어요

 

450명의 대원이
현장에 투입됐고

 

불길이 사방으로
번지는 상황입니다

 

-일어났니?
-거의요

 

얼른 내려와

 

오늘 예상 최고
기온은 35도입니다

 

오늘 예상 최고
기온은 35도입니다

 

서핑하기
안성맞춤이죠

 

LA 시내 최고 기온
39도로 예상됩니다

 

최고 기온을
기록할 것으로..

 

일어나

 

아빠가 뭐랬어?

 

깨끗하잖아요

 

-그 녀석 옷 입지 마
-왜요?

 

아빠가 싫어해

 

-슛 성공률 49%인데
-"마커스", 딴 거 입어

 

아빠가
분명히 말했잖아

 

"샤킬 오닐"
응원하기로

 

말버릇하고는!

 

뭐가요?

 

규칙 잊었어?

 

좀 많아야죠

 

비꼬는 투로
말하지 마라

 

다시 설명하마
식탁에선 안 돼!

 

버릇없잖아!

 

스트라이크 3번이 면
아웃이랬지

 

-이모가 사준 건데
-이모한테 전해줄게

 

-성을 바꿀 거야
-왜?

 

이놈의 집구석
지긋지긋해

 

그렇군

 

나는?

 

맘대로 해

 

그럼 이모네
안 가?

 

가야지

 

거기 눌러 살까
생각 중이야

 

누구지?

 

수영장 쓰게
해줄까?

 

오클랜드는
시원하잖니

 

그만 하세요

 

-가자
-짐 옮길게

 

드디어
도착했어!

 

정말 멋지죠?

 

너무 성급하게
결정했어

 

제대로
살펴본 거냐?

 

물론이죠

 

내년쯤
타운하우스 짓는대요

 

그만 화 푸세요
부탁할게요

 

아빠가 도와주신
덕분예요

 

고마워요

 

맘에 쏙 들어요
사랑해요, 아빠

 

"죠니"
오랜만이야

 

-이사 왔어?
-그런가 봐

 

인사는?

 

짐 옮길 시간은
줘야지

 

짐꾼들
일하고 있잖아

 

집값 얼마래?

 

몰라
20년 전보단 비싸겠지

 

하루가 다르게
오르니까

 

두말하면
잔소리지

 

운전 조심해

 

시간은 충분해요

 

조종사 도착했대

 

모셔다 드려도
되는데

 

소형차도
타 보셔야죠

 

리무진 타고 가는 게
훨씬 편하다네

 

조심히 가세요

 

언제든 들르세요

 

집에 자주 전화하는 거
잊지 마

 

엄마가
목 빼고 기다린다

 

동네가 멀어서
어쩐데

 

-눈물이 핑 돌아
-퍽이나!

 

-눈물도 안 나잖아
-이사 오시는 거 아냐?

 

들어가자

 

저게 뭐야?

 

글쎄

 

그 옷은 안 돼
"프라다"란 말이야

 

뭐가?

 

그건 괜찮아

 

-야간 경비등을 켰어
-누가?

 

옆집 주인이겠지

 

뒤뜰에
경비등이 있네

 

이불로
창문 덮어야겠다

 

벽돌이 필요하겠어

 

자기야

 

나 어때?

 

날씨가 얼마나
더운데

 

그래도 첫 출근인데
예의는 갖춰야지

 

이 방 쓰려고?

 

방 구조가 맘에 들어
난 종일 집에 있잖아

 

알았어

 

2시쯤 전화할게

 

이삿짐 트럭
운전할 수 있지?

 

그러고 싶은데
열쇠가..

 

열쇠 있는 데
알려줄게

 

-간다
-조심히 다녀 와

 

우리 집이
생겼어!

 

자기야!
가방 가져가

 

-여깄어!
-딱지 끊었어

 

똑바로 세우지

 

주택가인데
어때서?

 

아무것도
안 적혀 있어

 

"환영합니다
주차 질서 엄수"

 

"A.T."

 

장난친 건가 봐
기분 풀어

 

한방 먹은
기분야

 

아무튼
경찰들이란!

 

수갑 빌릴까?

 

재밌겠다!

 

이따가
인사나 해야겠어

 

-너무 힘 빼지 마
-당근이지!

 

얘들아, 도망쳐!

 

빨리!
짭새 떴다

 

가자니까

 

"클라렌스 달링턴"!
괜히 힘 빼지 마!

 

아무 말
없었는데

 

이리 와
가까이 오라고

 

경찰 놀이
재미 붙였어요?

 

닥치고
차에 붙어

 

애들 앞에서
쪽 팔리게 왜 이래요?

 

-말도 안 돼
-고마운 줄 알아

 

경찰 끄나풀처럼
보이면 안 되잖아

 

정신 똑바로 차리고
일이나 잘해

 

형제끼리
말 가려서 해요

 

웃기고 있네

 

우린 피부색부터
달라

 

태생이 어디야?

 

유럽 멕시코
아시아 잡종인가?

 

그런 걸 알 리가 없지

 

-그만 해요
-더러운 잡종 같으니!

 

넌 벌레 같은 존재야

 

인디언 후손예요!

 

거기 온갖 피가
뒤섞였겠지

 

그런 걸
누가 따진다고 그래요?

 

뭐 알아낸 거
없어?

 

쓰레기 같은 정보 말고
확실한 거

 

살인 사건 범인을 찾았는데
"레온트로 윌슨"

 

볼드윈 갱단 소속예요

 

-주소 알아?
-네?

 

경찰 배지 들고
쳐들어가요

 

-가도 되죠?
-하나 더!

 

좋은 정보만 주면
편히 일할 수 있어

 

-알아요
-또 하나!

 

어린애 건들면
가만 안 둘 거야

 

젖비린내 나서
싫어요

 

끽소리 없이 당한다고
겁 없이 건들지 마

 

알아들어?

 

가봐!

 

미쳤군!

 

똑바로 해

 

지갑 내놔!
잽싸게 꺼내

 

빨리 내놔!

 

볼륨도 줄이고!

 

젠장할

 

한참 배워야겠군

 

뭐요?

 

함부로 창문을
내리면 위험해

 

집 앞이라고 방심 마
"크리스"

 

-간떨어질 뻔했잖아요
-한 수 배웠나?

 

-"에이블 터너"야
-"크리스"예요

 

"크리스 맷슨"

 

인사하려던
참인데

 

-할 일 많을 텐데
-정리하느라..

 

스트레스가
많지?

 

음악 들으며
한 모금 빨면 죽이지

 

그냥 담배예요
유기농이죠

 

아직까진
합법적이군

 

집에서 담배 피면
난리 나요

 

알 만하군

 

캘리포니아
출신인가?

 

시카고에서
왔어요

 

운동 특기생으로 버클리
입학해서 오래 살았죠

 

-하는 일은?
-좋은 데서 일해요

 

좋은 일이라
영웅 나셨군!

 

"굿" 슈퍼마켓
직원인데

 

회사를 확장해서
이쪽에 발령받았어요

 

-부인이랑?
-"리사"요

 

-시카고 출신인가?
-아뇨, 북부요

 

-"버클리"?
-"오클랜드"요

 

오클랜드 아가씨!

 

정 반대라
끌렸나?

 

아뇨, 우린
공통점이 많아요

 

가령?

 

랩 음악 같은 거?

 

와이프는
싫어해요

 

놀랄 노자군

 

이만 가야겠네

 

매일 순찰을 돌거든

 

멋지네요

 

-반가웠네
-저도 반가웠어요

 

한마디하지

 

고막이 터져라
흑인 음악 들어도

 

변하지 않는 게 있어
자네가 백인이라는 거!

 

여기 있었군

 

온도는?

 

딱 좋아

 

-오늘 어땠어?
-끝내줬지

 

옆집 사람
만났어

 

"A.T."
"에이블 터너"

 

뭐래?

 

유머 감각이
독특하더라

 

그런 것 같아

 

야간 경비등
얘기했어?

 

그럴 틈이
없었어

 

항상 해보고
싶었는데

 

"여보, 나 왔어"

 

-정말 닭살이야
-좋잖아

 

재미없어

 

키스를 받으면
나을 거야

 

-뭐 해?
-수영하게

 

물 속에서
해보자

 

-말도 안 돼!
-어때서?

 

우리 집인데

 

그러다 지옥 간다

 

-거짓말!
-진짜야

 

저런 거 훔쳐보면
지옥에 떨어져

 

누나가 보랬잖아

 

멍청하긴!

 

그만 해!

 

"마커스"?
"셀리아"?

 

입도 뻥긋 마

 

동생 챙기랬더니
뭐 하는 거야?

 

암말 안 했어요

 

"마커스"
그만!

 

말버릇이
그게 뭐냐?

 

아무 짓
안 했다고요

 

사이 좋게..

 

얼른 가서
씻고 와

 

가서 맛있는
아이스크림 먹자

 

궁금한 게 있어

 

우리 집에
방이 3개잖아

 

2개는
각자 쓰고

 

작업실이나

 

사무실로 쓰더라도

 

하나씩
써야 하잖아

 

그것도 좋지

 

항상 바느질 방
갖고 싶었는데

 

귀엽겠지?

 

얘기해
장난친 거야

 

아냐

 

잘 모르겠어

 

아기방 만들면..

 

-안 돼
-둘 다 동의하기 전까진

 

그럴 수 없어

 

"리사", 끝난 얘기잖아
아기는 나중에 갖자

 

지금은 이 동네에
적응하는 게 우선이야

 

아이를 가져야 할
좋은 이유가 생각났어

 

-보채지 마
-빨리 낳자

 

-안 돼..
-왜냐면

 

이제는 진정한
가족을 만들어야지

 

빨리 아이를
낳아야..

 

알았으니까
그만 해

 

덥지 않아?

 

아니
말 돌리는 거야?

 

아냐

 

이상해

 

고장 났어

 

어디 보자

 

열려 있었나 봐

 

나사도 빠졌고

 

내 집 가진 자의
행복이지

 

그게 뭐야?

 

금연 캠페인 할 때
제격이겠어

 

괜한 소리 마

 

내일 얘기할게

 

"터너" 씨

 

"에이블"로
불러

 

조깅 했나?

 

푹푹 쪄서

 

못 해먹겠어요

 

맞는 말이야

 

도와드려요?

 

나야 고맙지

 

배터리 쪽 나사 보이지?

 

잡아당겨

 

그렇지!

 

-그거야
-네

 

괜찮나?

 

-네..
-어디 봐

 

피는
별로 안 나네

 

진짜 사나이답군

 

아일랜드 피가
흐르나 봐

 

흑인 피도 섞였고

 

어제 수상한 사람
못 봤어요?

 

뭔 일 있나?

 

"리사"가
겁먹었어요

 

보안 시스템
설치했지?

 

그런데
뭔가 어설퍼요

 

얼른 고쳐야지

 

마누라 지켜야잖나

 

저기, 바보 같은
부탁 같지만

 

야간 경비등
말인데요..

 

그게 어때서?

 

위층 침실로
빛이 들어와요

 

안됐군

 

아직 커튼도
안 달았거든요

 

동네 뒤쪽에
시냇물 흐르지?

 

수상한 녀석들이
들끓어

 

불량 십대들이
기물 파손을 하고..

 

-도난 사고도 있었어
-그래요?

 

딸애가 몰래 나가면
큰일이잖나

 

-이해하지?
-그럼요

 

수영장이 대낮처럼
밝으면 싫을 텐데

 

그러게요

 

"셀리아", "마커스"

 

옆집에 이사 온
"크리스" 아저씨란다

 

-인사드려
-반갑다

 

-조심히 다녀와
-다녀올게요

 

이만 갈게요

 

-태클 걸지 마
-그만 해!

 

비켜!

 

멍청아!
담장 넘어갔잖아

 

주인한테 혼나겠다

 

누구니?

 

누나가 그랬어요

 

이리 와서
가져가

 

-아빠가 가지 말랬는데
-왜?

 

빈대 붙지 말래요

 

그건 맞는 말야

 

빈대가 뭔지도
모르면서

 

여기서 수영하면
좋겠다

 

언제든 놀러와

 

-엄마만 허락하시면!
-아빠겠죠

 

돌아가셨어요

 

안됐구나

 

아빠랑
셋이 사니?

 

두 사람 몫의
잔소리를 하죠

 

아빠들은 다 그래
크면 나아질 거야

 

우리 아빤
절대 아닐걸요

 

만날 규칙 타령하며
혼내기 바쁘죠

 

"아빠 말이 법이다"

 

헤어스타일이
멋져요

 

"리사"야

 

"셀리아"예요

 

-이쪽은?
-"마커스"요

 

반갑구나

 

-"셀리아", 부탁이 있는데
-말씀하세요

 

금요일에 집들이하는데

 

아빠 모시고
와주면 좋겠어

 

얘기도 하고

 

"마커스"는
빼야죠

 

나도 오랬어

 

그럼 금요일에
보자

 

만나서 반가웠어

 

늦었네?

 

L 사람들
알랑대느라고 바빠

 

경비등
또 켜졌어

 

꺼달라고
말했어?

 

옆집 주인이
알아서 하겠대

 

-내가 말할게
-아냐, 그냥 둬

 

-자기는..
-알아서 할게

 

얘기 잘해

 

-걱정 마
-기분 안 상하게..

 

옆집 주인..

 

왜?

 

같은 형제잖아

 

오빠가 있었어?
몰랐네

 

웬일인가?

 

경비등 말인데요

 

그게, 고친다는 게
깜빡 했어

 

끄면 안 돼요?

 

안 돼, 자동 타이머가

 

설정돼 있어서

 

설명서 보고
재설정해야 돼

 

변명 같네만

 

엄청 바빴어

 

그럴 수도 있죠

 

한잔할 텐가?

 

됐어요

 

그러니까..

 

가볼게요

 

"크리스"
잠깐만!

 

금방 나올 테니
기다려

 

같이 가지
동네 구경도 할 겸

 

이웃들이
좋아해요?

 

몰라, 맘에 안 드는
이웃도 있어

 

누구요?

 

이 집 주인은

 

와이프를 두들겨 팼지

 

무슨 일 생기면
오랬는데

 

아직도
맞고 살아

 

그래요?

 

인간 관계가
그래서 힘들어

 

함께 살면 안 되는

 

사람도 있는 법인데

 

이 집 주인은
마약상 같아

 

마리화나, 코카인, 히로뽕 같은
온갖 놈이 드나들지

 

재미있는 건

 

매주 다른 차를
몬다는 거야

 

자동차 딜 러겠죠

 

전주인이
땅 얘기 않던가?

 

뒤쪽 언덕요?

 

10년 전
산사태가 났었고

 

굴착 작업 마친 후
콘도를 짓는다던데

 

공사가 잘돼야
할 텐데

 

우린 이곳 주민예요

 

몇 년 동안
계획한 거죠

 

우리 집을
갖고 싶었어요

 

-아이도 낳고?
-물론이죠

 

서두르진 않겠다?

 

의논해봐야죠

 

와이프랑?

 

당연하죠

 

세상
정말 좋아졌어

 

왜요?

 

자네 부부 얘기가
아니라

 

경찰들은 목숨 내놔야 돼
평생 그렇게 살았지

 

-가령?
-그건 일할 때고

 

여긴 내 집이야

 

혼자서
아이 둘 키우면서

 

자신과 타인을
존중하라고 가르쳤네

 

애들 보는 데선

 

애정 행각 자제해

 

수영장 사건은
잊기 힘들겠지만!

 

나도 그렇고

 

고의는 아녔는데..

 

딴 동네라면
모를까

 

그게 싫다면
떠나게

 

우리를 봤대

 

-무슨?
-수영장에서

 

옆집 남자랑
애들까지..

 

망신살 뻗쳤네!

 

우리가 싫은가 봐

 

첫인상이
좋진 않았겠지

 

그게 아니라
우리가 부부란 게 싫은가 봐

 

그렇게 말했어?

 

직접적으로
말한 건 아냐

 

-그런데?
-느낌이 그래

 

아버님도
날 못마땅해하시잖아

 

그거랑 상관없어

 

분명히
그런 뉘앙스였어

 

-자기 부모님은 완벽하시지
-당신을 좋아하셔

 

물론 말로는
좋다고 하시지

 

말이 심하다

 

이런 얘기
않기로 했잖아

 

어떤 사람인지
모르면서

 

동네 순찰 돌면서

 

충분히 얘기했어

 

확실한 것도
아니잖아

 

어떤 사람인지
모르면서

 

-알았어
-그러든가

 

당신 말이 맞아

 

어떤 사람인지
모르니까

 

정말 모르겠어

 

-먼저 잘게
응

 

아직도
밖이 훤하네

 

화장실 어디야?

 

복도 끝
오른쪽이야

 

내가 나갈게

 

잘 왔어요
재킷 멋지네요

 

아끼는 옷이야

 

반가워요
전 "리사"예요

 

"에이블"이오

 

애들은요?

 

못 왔소

 

한잔해야겠소

 

어떤 걸로
드릴까요?

 

술이면 다 좋죠

 

종류별로 있어요

 

시원한 게
좋겠는데

 

-"크리스"
-왜?

 

대박이다

 

나도 흑인 애인
꾈까 봐

 

언젠가 그럴 날 올 거야
지금은 동양 여자 만나지만

 

행운을 빈다

 

산불 때문에
난리더라

 

-어디?
-"산타 클라리타"

 

-지구 온난화 때문야
-뭔가 이상해

 

"정확한 결과가 나올 때까지
속단은 금물입니다"

 

옳은 말이지

 

민주당이 대세예요

 

이상 고온
현상은요?

 

아직 눈 천지야

 

하긴 아프리카도
덥죠

 

왜?
맞는 말이잖아

 

지구 온난화가
문젠 건 확실해요

 

"버클리" 대학에서
배운 건가?

 

평소
관심이 많아요

 

전문가도
아니잖아?

 

슈퍼마켓에서

 

일한댔나?

 

환경 보호에
앞장서고 있죠

 

논쟁은 그만 하지
그쪽은 잘 몰라

 

-뭐 하는 분이죠?
-L 경찰이오

 

-경찰이세요?
-그래요

 

마리화나
잘 숨겨

 

그건 약과지

 

아내 몰래 꽁초를
아무 데나 버리거든

 

딱 걸렸네

 

진짜야?

 

어느 구역
담당이죠?

 

산 페르난도 쪽에서

 

파노라마 시 부근이오

 

아시오?

 

알 것 같은데

 

가봤소?

 

-아뇨
-한번 들러요

 

구경시켜 줄 테 니

 

밥맛이야

 

하고 싶은 말
있으신가?

 

아녜요

 

경찰을
싫어하나 본데

 

다른 얘기하죠

 

친구분
얘기부터 들어보지

 

특유의 느낌이
있어요

 

언제나
공격적이거든요

 

그 심정은
충분히 이해합니다

 

성함이?

 

"이든"

 

우연히 강도를
만났다고 칩시다

 

그런데 옆에 있는
남자분이..

 

방어할 힘이
없다면

 

용감한 경찰관이
당신을 구할 거요

 

목숨이
붙어 있다면!

 

-무슨 와인야?
-화이트 진판델

 

-맛이 깔끔해
-다행야

 

시간이 늦었군

 

초대해 줘서
고맙네

 

유익한 시간였어

 

좋은 시간
보내요

 

음주 운전은
마시고

 

몇 시야?

 

우리도 가자

 

그거 맛있어

 

잠깐만요

 

꽁초 사건은 미안해요
정식으로 사과하죠

 

그래도
너무하잖아요

 

그렇게까지
할 필욘 없는데

 

기분 나빴나?

 

당연하죠

 

우리 때문에
불편한 게 있다면

 

해결책을
찾아보기로 해요

 

목적이 뭔가?

 

-네?
-원하는 게 뭐야?

 

원하는 건..

 

사이 좋게
지내는 거죠

 

인종 문제를
해결하시겠다?

 

그런 뜻이
아니잖아요

 

저희 일에
신경 끄세요

 

신경 끄라고?

 

너무 심해요

 

싫다면?

 

우리가 떠나기를
바라는 것 같은데

 

우린 잘 적응하고
있어요

 

누가 그래?

 

당신만 문제죠

 

난 비흡연자야

 

아까 사과했잖아요
더는 상관 말아요

 

상관 말라?

 

잘 자게

 

옆집에
무슨 일 있나 봐

 

사람들은
우리가 싫은가 봐

 

차고에서
나는 소리 아니야?

 

아무것도 없어?

 

불켜봐

 

자기가
문 열어 놨어?

 

아니

 

타이어
펑크 났네

 

완전 찢겼어

 

-왜 그래?
-이리 와

 

"크리스"
어쩌려고 그래?

 

제기랄!

 

벌써
도망쳤을 거야

 

무슨 문제가
생겼나?

 

누가 들락거리는 것
같던데

 

얼굴 보셨어요?

 

아니

 

자네들만 보여

 

아무런
방법이 없다고요?

 

저희로서도
어쩔 수 없습니다

 

"에이블"이
인기척을 들었는데

 

누군가 몰래
들어온 것 같아요

 

그렇겠죠

 

뒤뜰 쪽으로
잠입한 것 같은데

 

동네 애들이
장난친 거겠죠

 

불량 청소년 얘긴
들었어요

 

자물쇠도
부실한 편이고

 

저희가 순찰을
돌아 보겠습니다

 

애들 짓이 아녜요

 

그럼 누구죠?

 

다른 문제 생기면
연락 주세요

 

이웃이 경찰이라서
다행였죠

 

감사합니다
수고 많으셨어요

 

-수고 많았네
-언제든 연락주세요

 

지문 감식이라도
할까 봐

 

앞으로 꽁초는
재떨이에 버려

 

아니라니까

 

-증거는 있나?
-아니요

 

우리가 이사 온 게
싫다고 하더군요

 

밤새 경비등을 켜고

 

저흴 괴롭힙니다

 

어젠 차고 앞을
감시하고 있었죠

 

얘야, 증거는
없는 거냐?

 

"크리스"가 대답했잖아요
확실한 물증은 없지만..

 

지금까지
말한 바로는

 

진짜 해코지한 게
아니라

 

단순한 추측일
뿐이잖니

 

흑백 부부의
결혼을 혐오한다고

 

경찰을 잡아넣을 순
없어

 

야간 경비등 문젠
소송이 가능해

 

한데 결과는
장담 못하지

 

승소할 거란
보장은 없어

 

그래도..

 

전문가로서 의견이네

 

왜 고집을
피우는 게냐?

 

집을 산 건
좋은 일이지만

 

다시 팔면 되잖아
손해야 보겠지

 

부족한 돈은
우리가 보태줄게

 

저도 대화에
끼워주시면 안 될까요?

 

아이는
낳을 건가?

 

네?

 

지금 그 얘길
하는 게 아니잖아요

 

대화하고 싶다잖니
그게 궁금했어

 

내 딸과 아이를
낳을 건가?

 

물론입니다

 

당연히
아이를 가져야죠

 

가족은 어떻게
지킬 텐가?

 

방법 말입니까?

 

먼저 총부터
사야죠

 

창고에 한 가득
총을 쌓아 놓는 겁니다

 

그럼 되겠죠?

 

잠시만요

 

이게 뭐야!

 

문제가
커진 것 같네

 

한마디 상의도
없었잖아

 

경비등?

 

총을 사러 갔더니
10일 기다려야 한대서

 

대신 경비등
사왔어

 

이런다고 문제가
해결될 것 같아?

 

해결하잔 게
아냐

 

즐기려는 거지

 

알았어
필요한 거 있으면 불러

 

피곤해 죽겠어요

 

-늦게 잤나?
-"코니" 때문에요

 

나도 그럴 때가
있었지

 

그게 아니라
이사 가자고 난리예요

 

그럴 만해

 

범죄자가 우글대는
동네잖아

 

선배 와이프도
그랬어요?

 

"조슬린"?

 

그럴 틈을 안 줬어
내가 알아서 했거든

 

8년 동안 2교대 근무하고
초과 근무도 도맡아 했지

 

사설 경비업체까지
안 해본 게 없어

 

그 동네는

 

애 키울 데가 못 돼

 

이사해
애들 금방 자라

 

완벽한 기회야

 

-그래서 시험 보려고요
-무슨 시험?

 

경찰관
임용 시험요

 

경사 관두고 경관으로 진급해서
15년 후 은퇴할래요

 

늙어서
이 짓하긴 싫어요

 

선배처럼
자부심도 없고

 

51호, 긴급 상황 발생
용의자 총기 소지

 

옥스포드 거리
137번지

 

사이렌 켜시죠
경관 나리

 

51호
출동한다

 

경찰이 왔어요!

 

무슨 일이죠?

 

애 엄마랑 아기를
죽인다고 난리예요

 

-총을 가졌나요?
-네

 

문 걸어 잠그고
절대 안 열어요

 

알겠습니다
몇 호죠?

 

7호
복도 끝 모퉁이요

 

-왼쪽요?
-네

 

-이름이?
-"데이먼 리처드"

 

위험하니까
물러서세요

 

들어가세요

 

내가 가난뱅이라

 

딴 놈 만났냐?

 

애가
무슨 죄야!

 

-멋대로 해!
-사람 잡겠어

 

갈 거면
애도 데려가!

 

둘 다 꺼져!
짐만 되니까

 

"리처드" 씨
경찰에서 나왔습니다

 

-꺼져!
-"에이블" 경관입니다

 

부인과 아이는
안전한가요?

 

남의 집 일에
상관 마!

 

"리처드" 씨
대화로 풀어야죠

 

웃기고 있네!

 

원하는 대로
해줄 테니

 

대답하세요

 

다친 사람은
없습니까?

 

피해요!

 

-아가!
-괜찮으세요?

 

-멈춰!
-진정해요

 

살려주세요

 

-거기 서!
-착한 사람인데

 

용의자가 도망쳤다

 

-지원 요청해!
-엎드리세요!

 

-안 돼요!
-가만히 계세요

 

-제발 봐주세요
-지원 바람

 

총을 가졌다!

 

포기하시지!
총 버려

 

꼼짝 마, "데이먼"
총 버리고 투항해

 

가까이 오지 마!
저리 가!

 

총 쏜다!

 

좋아
진정해

 

-오지 마!
-대화로 해결하세

 

-진정하고 총 버려
-죽을 거야!

 

대화로 해결하세
그렇지!

 

-왜 이래요?
-죽고 싶어?

 

죽고 싶으면
한번 쏴봐

 

얼른!
내가 도와줘?

 

-방아쇠 당겨!
-아녜요

 

총 내놔

 

당장 일어나!

 

날 똑바로 봐!

 

또 이런 짓할 거야?

 

-아니요!
-뭐라고?

 

하늘에 맹세할게요!

 

그딴 거 말고
나랑 약속해

 

절대
안 그럴게요

 

가장답게
책임감을 가져!

 

괜히 징징거리지 말고
아빠답게 행동해!

 

또 이러면

 

그땐 가만 안 둬

 

-"하비에르"
-네

 

수갑 채우게

 

-살살해
-알겠습니다

 

방금 들었지?
따라와

 

뭐 하니?

 

언제든
오라면서요

 

아빠 허락받고 오랬지
몰래 온 거잖아

 

-몇 살이니?
-15살요

 

대담하구나

 

다음엔
허락받고 와

 

그럴게요

 

저기, 궁금한 게
있는데요

 

말해봐

 

-뭔데?
-애인 사귈 때요

 

흑인 남자랑
백인 여자가 사귀면

 

부러워하는데

 

흑인 여자랑
백인 남자는 욕먹잖아요

 

-네 얘기니?
-한 명 있어요

 

좋아해?

 

얼마나 좋아해야
되죠?

 

남자 친구라면
많이 좋아해야지

 

백인 남자 만나면
골치 아픈 일 많아

 

그쯤은
알아서 하겠지?

 

-무슨 노래죠?
-"데스티니스 차일드"

 

-귀에 익어요
-그래?

 

괜찮은데요

 

춤이 빠지면
안 되죠

 

세상에!
춤 많이 변했다!

 

-같이 춰요
-안 돼!

 

리듬에 맞춰서!

 

아줌마도 할 수
있어요!

 

아냐
그냥 구경할래

 

얼른요!

 

춤 솜씨가 제법이네

 

-아줌마도 춰요
-싫어

 

진짜야
춤 못 춘다니까

 

-이건요?
-누구한테 배웠니?

 

엄마한테요

 

-많이 변했구나!
-얼른요

 

누가 여길
드나들랬어?

 

대답해

 

그게 아니라..

 

내 기억으론
허락한 적 없는데

 

아무하고나
어울리면 안 되니까

 

제가
놀러 오랬어요

 

내 허락 없이?

 

그게..

 

무슨 소린지
알겠군

 

내가 답답하고
고리타분한 늙은이라서

 

다른 사람 생각을
무시한다?

 

-그래요
-좋아, 그렇다면

 

제대로
한번 놀아볼까?

 

-뭐 하는 거죠?
-규칙 따윈 잊어

 

원하는 대로
살면 되잖아

 

그만 하세요

 

꼴리는 대로
살면 돼

 

-그만 해요
-그렇지?

 

-부탁해요!
-기분 죽이네!

 

-알았어요!
-신나게 놀아보자!

 

왜?

 

넌 홀랑 벗고 다니면서
어때서?

 

그거 아니?

 

그런 게
이중잣대란 거야

 

위선자로 살지 마

 

당신이 가르쳤나?

 

이런 걸
가르쳤냐고?

 

-아뇨
-아빠보다 훨씬 낫죠

 

뭐?

 

그만 하세요!

 

제 인생에
참견 마세요!

 

내 생각 따윈
관심도 없으면서!

 

경찰 배지가
그렇게 대단해요?

 

"에이블"
이건 아니잖아요

 

실수했어

 

요즘 컨디션이 별로야
잠도 못 자고

 

그래도
폭력은 안 돼요

 

양육 방법에 대해
토론이라도 할까?

 

나가주세요

 

싫다면?

 

경찰에 신고하게?

 

전화해
누가 올지 뻔하지만

 

괜찮아?
종일 굶었잖아

 

속이 안 좋아

 

감기 걸렸어?

 

긴장해서 그래

 

정신차렸나 봐
오늘은 불 껐네

 

바깥 공기 좋다

 

잘 꾸미면
멋진 집이 될 거야

 

다 꾸밀 때쯤
팔겠어

 

말 속에
가시가 있네

 

이 집 팔고 싶어?

 

당신은?

 

우리 문제니까
같이 정해야지

 

그 남자 때문에 팔긴 싫어
아버님도!

 

아빠랑 똑같이 취급 마

 

그건 억지잖아

 

무슨 소리야..

 

좋아, 감정적
전이라고 해두자

 

이런 얘기
그만 해

 

그렇게 생각해?

 

잡아떼긴!

 

생사람 잡지 마

 

항상 내가 백인인 게
문제였어

 

"항상"?

 

무슨 뜻이야?

 

어쨌든

 

인종이 다르다는 게
걸림돌이 되잖아

 

자긴 이해 못해

 

무슨 소리야?

 

올라가서
책이나 읽을래

 

마음에 들어?

 

옛날엔
그렇게 깔끔하더니

 

안 치우나 봐요

 

맘에 든다는
얘긴가?

 

전부 챙겼니?

 

네, 이번엔
말 타러 갈래요

 

-지금 부탁하는 거지?
-물론이죠

 

그렇다면
말 타러 가야지

 

-재밌게 놀다와
-네

 

그냥 가니?

 

갈게요

 

출발해요

 

왜 저래요?

 

15살 소녀 마음을
내가 어짜ㅣ 알겠어

 

여깄어

 

2주 동안

 

원 없이 들으라고 해

 

무슨 일예요?
예전엔 괜찮더니

 

딴사람이
된 것 같아요

 

걱정 마
잘 지내고 있으니까

 

재미있게 놀다와!

 

괜찮아?

 

나 임신했어

 

-진짜야?
응

 

테스트
3번 했어

 

연락드릴까?

 

피임약은?

 

깜빡 하고
몇 번 놓쳤나 봐

 

둘 중 하나겠지

 

진짜 깜빡 했어

 

거짓말 아니야

 

나중에
갖기로 했잖아

 

모든 일이
계획처럼 되진 않아

 

피임한댔잖아

 

당신 잘못이야

 

제대로
피임을 했어야지

 

-앞으로..
-우린 부부잖아

 

억지로라도
기쁜 척하면 안 돼?

 

-그런 게 아니야
-일부러 임신한 것도 아닌데

 

그래서 낳자고?

 

겨우 집 샀는데?

 

-아이 낳는 게 걱정돼?
-맙소사!

 

인생이
완전히 바뀌는 거잖아

 

어때서?
나랑 애 낳기 싫어?

 

그런 게 아니라..

 

가볼게
이러다 늦겠어

 

다녀와

 

무슨 일이죠?

 

"데이먼 리처드"
아시죠?

 

누구신지?

 

"브론슨" 씨
"모르가다" 씨야..

 

내사과에서
나왔군요

 

형식적인 절차야
"에이블" 경사

 

"리처드"를
어떻게 만났죠?

 

저와 파트너에게
총을 쏜 후 체포됐죠

 

경찰서를 상대로
고소를 했네

 

폭력 혐의, 시민권 위반

 

민원까지 접수됐어요

 

"과도한 폭력을 사용하고
협박했으며.."

 

나쁜 자식!
불쌍해서 봐줬는데

 

갈비뼈가
3개나 부러졌어요

 

총으로
위협했다던데

 

그게 아니라

 

인생 선배로
조언을 한 거죠

 

때리진
않았어요

 

경찰서에서 나간 후
어디서 맞았겠죠

 

당황스럽다는 거
알지만

 

지금은
문제 해결이 급선무야

 

이만 퇴근하게

 

당분간
정직 처리하지

 

갑시다

 

-언제까지요?
-연락이 갈 거예요

 

사실은
지난 몇 년 동안

 

민원이 빗발쳤는데

 

두고 본 겁니다

 

퇴직도
좋은 방법예요

 

28년간 일했는데
고작 이겁니까?

 

어떤 대접을
원하셨죠?

 

조용히 해

 

-눈치볼 필요 없네
-싫어하실까 봐

 

-나도 농담 잘해
-그게 아니라

 

"데이비스" 총각 파티
계획 짜ㅏ던 중예요

 

-나만 빼고?
-어차피 선배님은..

 

싫어하실 것
같아서요

 

우리 집에서
파티 할까?

 

경찰끼리
원 없이 놀아보세

 

자제분들은요?

 

방학이라 이모네
갔어

 

-완벽한 타이밍이지
-진심이세요?

 

꽉 막힌 늙은이지만
춤은 좋아해

 

-그렇게 하죠
-놀 일만 남았네

 

뭐 하는 거야?

 

-아무것도 아냐
-음악 소리 안 들려?

 

-별일이네
-몇 시야?

 

벌써
새벽 3시잖아

 

-어디 가?
-한마디해야겠어

 

안 돼!
"리사", 잠깐만!

 

기다려봐!

 

-이러지 마
-자긴 상관 마

 

내가 해결할게

 

꽁무니 빼더니
웬일야?

 

남자들이란!
잘해봐

 

그만 하자

 

-누구 왔나 봐, 문 열어!
-내가 나갈게

 

"에이블" 씨
불러 주실래요?

 

-무슨 일로?
-시끄러워서 잘 수가 없잖아요

 

한창 분위기 좋으니까
꺼지쇼

 

여기 있었네!

 

자네가
여긴 웬일인가?

 

새벽 3시에
뭐 하는 거죠?

 

잘 왔네, 기분 풀고

 

같이 한잔해

 

옆집에 사는
"크리스"를 소개하지

 

보시다시피
골수 민주당원야

 

편 가르자는 건
아니야

 

맘놓고 환경 보호
부르짖어

 

한잔해

 

동료가 결혼하는데

 

총각 파티 하는 거야
알지?

 

축하해요

 

소리 좀 낮추죠?

 

거슬리나?

 

창문 깨지겠어요

 

신음소리가
묻힐 정도야?

 

"크리스"는 흑인이랑
결혼했어

 

몸조심하게

 

밤에 힘 못 쓴다고
쫓겨나면 안 되잖나

 

잠시도
가만 안 둘 거야

 

"흑인 맛을 알면.."

 

-"절대 못 잊는다"
-맞아!

 

괜히 분위기 깨진
않겠지?

 

몸놀림 죽이는데!

 

아랬도리가
불끈대네요

 

"버클리"에서 놀던
가락 좀 보여줘

 

이럴 생각이
아녔겠지

 

아이러니 아닌가?

 

잘 모르겠네요

 

스탠퍼드 나왔으면
알 텐데

 

한번 놀아봐

 

새신랑이
한판 즐기고 나면

 

음악 끌 테니까
걱정 마

 

새 신랑 데려와!

 

새 신랑 왔다!

 

화끈하게
놀아 보라고!

 

얼굴도
애무해 줘야지

 

혼을
쏙 빼버려!

 

-전 됐어요
-잔말 말고 따라와요

 

-나쁜 짓했죠?
-눕혀라!

 

꽉 잡고 있어!

 

잘한다!

 

이러지 말아요!

 

온몸을 써야지
화끈한 걸 보여줘

 

그러다
와이프한테 혼날라

 

유부남 아닌 것
같은데

 

그 정도면 됐어
그만 해!

 

와이프 가슴보다
빵빵하지?

 

괜히 덤볐다간
후회해

 

-보내줘
-놔요!

 

남자답게 굴어

 

부인한테 안부 전해

 

스트리퍼
어딨나!

 

흔들어!

 

빵빵한 가슴
좀 보여줘!

 

그렇지!

 

왜 그래?

 

캠코더 어딨어?

 

왜?

 

나쁜 자식들
모조리 녹화할 거야

 

다신
경찰 짓 못하게!

 

연금도 못 받고

 

-짐싸서 도망가게 만들 거야
-무슨 일이야?

 

맙소사!
일부러 그랬지?

 

-뭐가?
-피임약 말야

 

뭐라고?

 

날 속일 셈이야?

 

당신이 원한 게
이런 거였어?

 

그런 게 아니라
깜빡 한 거야

 

실수였다고!

 

이제 당신 말
못 믿겠어

 

-내가 알던 여자가 아니야
-나, 자기 부인이야

 

딴사람 같아!

 

어디 둔 거야?

 

"사우스랜드"에
발생한 산불로

 

총 30만 평이
불에 타고

 

지금까지 185가구가
전소됐습니다

 

재해 대책 본부는

 

비상령을 선포했습니다

 

4만 명의 주민이
긴급 대피했습니다

 

화재 현장은
잿더미로 변했어요

 

오늘 저녁 진화팀이
추가로 투입됩니다

 

재해 대책 관리 본부
"그레그" 씨 모셨습니다

 

그러다
와이프한테 혼날라

 

유부남 아닌 것
같은데

 

그만 해!

 

담장 옆에
내려놓으세요

 

뭐 하는 거야?

 

공기 좋아지라고

 

산소를
뿜는다잖아

 

임산부 같지가
않아

 

그렇게 생각하면
편하겠지

 

왜 그래?

 

미안해

 

컨디션
최악이야

 

일도 하기 싫고
월급도 밀렸잖아

 

-그럼 관둬
-그 후엔?

 

이웃도 이상하고
가족도 그리워

 

각오했던 거잖아

 

이 정도일 줄
몰랐지만..

 

자기 말대로
하려고 했어

 

더 발전된 관계를
기대했으니까

 

잘되고 있잖아

 

예상과
너무 달라

 

-적응하려고 노력해야지
-이제 세 식구잖아

 

아기가 있단 거
잊지 마

 

자기만
행복하다면

 

무슨 짓이든
할 거야

 

이봐요!
이봐요! 무슨 짓이죠?

 

-안 들려!
-당장 꺼요!

 

-왜 이래요?
-그만둬요!

 

멋대로 나무를
심었잖아

 

담장을 넘어왔으니까

 

잘라내야지

 

그것 좀 끄라고요!

 

마누리 입 단속시키지?

 

당신은 참견 마!

 

한판 붙자는 건가?
덤벼!

 

한번 붙어보자

 

그것 좀 꺼요!

 

닥치랬지!

 

미쳤군요!

 

계집보다
못한 놈이군

 

-닥쳐!
-이리 와, 한판 붙자

 

이리 오라니까!
덤벼봐!

 

-겁먹을까 봐?
-덤벼봐

 

당장
톱 내려놔!

 

그만!
자기야, 이러지 마!

 

그만 하라고!

 

한판 붙어보자며?
저리 비켜!

 

-당신 미쳤어?
-비키라니까

 

-그만 해!
-말리지 마!

 

얼른 덤벼!

 

"크리스"
당신 미쳤어?

 

겁나?

 

톱 치우고
맨손으로 붙어

 

이리 와서
붙어 보자고

 

맛 좀 봐라!

 

겁만 많아 가지고
계집애 같긴!

 

-나쁜 자식!
-몰랐나?

 

멋대로 나무 심으면
전부 잘라낼 거야

 

불길이 빠른 속도로 번져

 

불길이 빠른 속도로 번져

 

피해가 속출했고

 

엄청난 화재 피해가
예상됩니다

 

무엇보다 복구 비용
마련이 시급합니다

 

무척 덥죠?

 

이 정도는
끄떡없어요

 

-다른 건요?
-괜찮습니다

 

이웃이 된 걸
환영해요

 

젠장!
어딜 가도 만나는군

 

괜찮아

 

여기서 싸웠다간
총 맞아

 

가려던 참예요

 

"리사"도 없잖아
서두르지 마

 

진정할 시간을
줘야지

 

"에이블"
제발 참견 말아요

 

당신 생각 따윈
듣기 싫어요

 

더 이상
상관 말라고요!

 

좋아
그거 아나?

 

나도 기분이 안 좋아
그럴 의도는 아녔네

 

만날 마시던 걸로

 

저쪽에도
한 잔 주고

 

저것 좀 보게!
우리 집까지 번지겠지?

 

오늘이
무슨 날인 줄 아나?

 

물론 모르겠지

 

아내가 죽은 지
3년째 되는 날

 

"마커스"가 학교에서 돌아오면
병간호를 하러 나갔어

 

대부분
노인였는데

 

알츠하이머 환자
뇌졸중 환자..

 

사명감을
가지고 일한단 게

 

한편으론
자랑스러웠어

 

나랑 정 반대의 일을
하는 셈이니까

 

왜죠?

 

경찰은 나쁜 놈만
상대하잖아

 

정확히 3년 전에

 

전화를 받았어

 

아내가 탄 차가
정면 충돌했다고

 

마약에 취한
또라이가

 

150킬로 속도로
아내를 들이받았어

 

급히 병원으로
옮겼지만

 

수술대 위에서
죽었네

 

경찰 가족이란 걸
말 안 해서

 

흑인이라고
늑장부린 거야

 

-그걸 어떻게?
-그런 게 세상이야

 

안됐네요

 

궁금한 건

 

아내가 죽은 지
3년이 지났는데

 

아직도
동승했던 남자랑

 

어떤 관계였는지
모르겠어

 

어디로
가려던 걸까?

 

백인 놈팡이랑
놀아났을까?

 

환자 기저귀
갈아줄 시간에

 

딴 놈이랑 신나게
고속 도로를 달렸어

 

아직도
그런 생각을 해요?

 

-자네라면?
-벌써 잊었겠죠

 

왜 이런 얘기를
하는 거죠?

 

이유 없어

 

흑백의 신혼 부부가..

 

재수 없게
내 눈에 걸린 걸세

 

"에이블"
어짜ㅣ됐건..

 

언제나
그런 식이지

 

남이야 어찌 됐건
자기만 중요하니까

 

무슨 뜻이죠?

Joining me now to talk more about that,

 

Lieutenant Solomon Goff from
the Esmeralda County Sheriff's Department.

 

Lieutenant Goff, at this hour,
what is going on up at the fire line?

 

Well, they're just doing
the best they can to put it out.

 

There's about 450 fire personnel up there

 

and the fire is going
in all different directions. We're...

 

-You alive in there?
-Almost.

 

All right. Shake a leg.

 

Thank you, Spencer.

 

Thank you, Spencer.

 

Well, the beach cities today
are gonna be in the mid-90s.

 

What a great day to hit the surf.

 

And downtown Los Angeles,
I'm forecasting a cool 102 degrees.

 

And hey, you folks out in the valleys,
get ready for a record-breaking May high...

 

Stand up.

 

What'd I tell you about that jersey?

 

It's clean.

 

-We're not advertising that guy, okay?
-Why not?

 

'Cause he don't approve of him.

 

-He's, like, 47% from the floor.
-Marcus. Another shirt, please.

 

Look, Son. We talked about this, right?

 

We decided to make the jump to Shaq.

 

Doesn't approve.

 

What?

 

What's the rule?

 

I don't know, you got so many.

 

Have. I have so many.

 

And let me remind you, not at the table.

 

It's disrespectful.

 

One, two, three strikes. It's out.

 

-But Aunt Dorrie gave me this.
-I'll give it back to her.

 

-I'm changing my name.
-How come?

 

'Cause I don't wanna be
from this family no more.

 

Anymore.

 

What about me?

 

You're on your own.

 

So you're not going to Aunt Dorrie's
this summer?

 

I'm going.

 

Am I coming back, is the question.

 

Who's this?

 

You think they'll let us swim in their pool?

 

Never this hot in Oakland.

 

Oh, stop complaining.

 

-Come on. Hurry up.
-I'll start unloading.

 

-Coming.
-Okay, yeah. That's great. We're here.

 

Well, I really like this...

 

All right.

 

I can't believe how imprudent you are.

 

Did an inspector take a look at that?

 

Yes. It's totally stable.

 

They're building townhouses
there next year.

 

Can you not be such a grump?
Can you not be such a grump?

 

You made this possible.

 

You helped a lot.

 

This is so great. I love you.

 

Johnny, my man. How you doing?

 

-New neighbors?
-Yeah, looks like it.

 

Did you meet them yet?

 

You wanna give people a chance
to settle in, you know?

 

I'll wait till the movers leave.

 

How much you think they paid?

 

I don't know, man.
Hell of a lot more than I did 20 years ago.

 

Still the best investment. Up, up, up.

 

When you're right, you're right.

 

Have a good one.

 

You'll make it, you have plenty of time.

 

Well, the pilot's already checked in.

 

And I don't mind driving you to the airport.

 

You might look good in a Prius.

 

That man won't mind driving me either,
and I'm willing to tip him.

 

-Okay.
-Bye.

 

-Chris.
-Harold.

 

-Always a pleasure.
-Yeah.

 

-You check in.
-Okay.

 

Let us know how things are going.

 

You know how your mother gets.

 

What a shame he lives 400 miles away.

 

-lt makes me sad.
-Yeah. Yeah.

 

-You gonna cry?
-Can he move in?

 

Come on. Come, come, come.

 

What the...

 

What is that?

 

I don't know.

 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's my only Prada.

 

What?

 

That's better.

 

-He's got security lights.
-Who does?

 

Whoever, next door.

 

He's got one on a pole in the back.

 

I told you we should've
put sheets on the windows.

 

Sheets? We need bricks.

 

-Hey, babe?
-Yeah?

 

I look okay?

 

It's gonna be a hundred
and something degrees.

 

I know, but I can't do this in just a shirt.
They'll think it's rude.

 

Oh, is that where you're gonna put the...

 

Yes, it is, because I like this space
and I'm the one that's here all day long.

 

-Okay?
-Perfect.

 

So I'll call you, like, 2:00-ish.

 

You're okay driving the truck back?

 

Oh, gosh, I don't know.

 

Maybe if you showed me
where the key goes in the little...

 

I'll show you where the key in the...

 

-I gotta go.
-Okay. Break legs.

 

-Hey.
-Yeah.

 

We're homeowners.

 

Sweetie, your bag.

 

Babe?

 

What the...

 

-Here you go.
-I got a ticket.

 

Yeah, well, you are hanging out a little bit.

 

Well... So what?
Are we living in Bel Air or something?

 

Sweetheart, it's not filled out. Look.

 

"Welcome to Lakeview, neighbor.
Observe all parking regulations."

 

"A.T."

 

Look at you, making nice-nice.

 

Oh, gosh. A little cop humor.

 

He's here to protect and serve us.

 

Maybe we can borrow his handcuffs.

 

I like that.

 

-Hey, we can go over tonight and say hello.
-Okay.

 

-Don't work too hard.
-Never.

 

Out of here. Yo, chief!

 

Let's roll, man. Five-O. Come on!

 

Let's get out of here, man.

 

Clarence Darlington, hold! Don't run.
Hey, hey! Don't make us chase you.

 

Nobody say nothing.

 

Shit!

 

Come here. Front and center, let's go.
Right here.

 

Some French Connection bullshit.

 

Watch your mouth. Come on, on the car.

 

Pulling this shit on me?
In front of my people?

 

-I would never do that to you, dawg.
-This is for your benefit, man.

 

Now it looks like you fought
the law and the law won.

 

You can go back and be the man,

 

instead of the crack-dealing
little snitch that you are.

 

Forget the circumstance.
Shit's disrespectful to a brother.

 

Brother? Clarence, we ain't brothers.

 

We didn't even crawl out of
the same evolutionary pool.

 

What are you, anyway?
You know, I always wondered about that.

 

You a Euro-Mexi-Japa-Chine-stani or what?

 

You don't even know, do you?
Ain't got a clue.

 

-Watch yourself.
-You're a weed, that's what you are.

 

A junkyard weed.

 

Spray your ass with some Roundup.

 

I'm 1/7th Cherokee, bitch!

 

Yeah, and the other 93% wigger.
Can you do the math on that, dumb ass?

 

You got problems, man. Seriously.
This shit aside, you don't see straight.

 

What you got for me, Clarence?

 

Give me something other than
this fake-ass Vanilla lce impression.

 

I know who popped that kid on Palm Grove.
Leontro Wilson.

 

He's running with a crew up
in the Baldwin Village.

 

-You got an address?
-What?

 

You're the sworn officer.
Go knock on some doors and shit.

 

-Are we done? I got quotas, too.
-Hold, hold, hold, hold.

 

One thing. One thing.

 

You get to stay in business
as long as you're useful, okay?

 

-All right, man, you told me.
-Oh, and one other thing.

 

No more little girls.
I don't wanna see that shit.

 

Baby ain't too little for me.

 

Just 'cause they don't scream when you
use them doesn't mean they're not little.

 

You understand me?

 

Now bounce.

 

Prick.

 

Watch your ass, big guy.

 

Give me your wallet.
Give up the wallet, man. Give it up!

 

-Oh, shit.
-Come on, hurry up! Give it up!

 

And turn that shit down!

 

God damn it.

 

Boy, you got a lot to learn.

 

What?

 

Never roll your window down
when somebody does that.

 

No matter where you are, Chris.

 

-You scared the hell out of me.
-Well, how else you gonna learn?

 

-Abel Turner.
-Hey. Yeah, Chris...

 

Mattson.

 

Yeah. I was meaning to come over.

 

-You got a lot on your hands.
-Yeah, well, you know, moving and...

 

-It's very stressful, you know?
-Yeah.

 

But you got your mad beats
and your blunt here to help you chill out.

 

Oh, it's just a cigarette. Organic.

 

Okay. Not against the law yet.

 

Well, it is in my house.

 

I hear you.

 

So are you a SoCal boy, Chris?

 

Chicago.

 

Went to Berkeley on a lacrosse scholarship.
Stayed there after college.

 

-Doing what?
-I work for Good.

 

Oh, the enemy of evil.
You a superhero there, Chris?

 

No, the supermarket chain. Yeah.

 

They're expanding down here,
so we talked it over...

 

-You and your wife?
-Yeah, Lisa.

 

-ls she from Chicago, too?
-No, she's from up there.

 

-Berkeley.
-Oakland.

 

Oak-town girl, all right!

 

Kind of, like, opposites attract.

 

Well, no, not exactly.
We actually have a lot in common.

 

Yeah? Like what?

 

Well...

 

Rap music.

 

Well, I like it, she doesn't.

 

Imagine that.

 

Yeah.

 

Yeah, well, I'm going to finish my rounds.

 

You know, I do a little neighborhood patrol
every night, you know?

 

Oh. Cool.

 

-Welcome. Good to have you.
-Thanks, yeah. Nice to meet you.

 

All right.

 

Say, you know,

 

you can listen to that noise all night long,

 

but when you wake up in the morning,
you'll still be white.

 

-There you are.
-Hi.

 

How's the water?

 

Amazing.

 

-How was your day?
-Awesome.

 

So I met our new neighbor.

 

A.T. Abel Turner.

 

And?

 

He has a very special brand of humor.

 

So he was joking.

 

-Yeah.
-Did you ask him about the lights?

 

Wasn't the best time.

 

-I always wanted to say this.
-What?

 

"Honey, I'm homeowner."

 

-No, that's really bad.
-No, it's good.

 

No, it's bad.

 

But I'm gonna kiss you and make it better.

 

-What are you doing?
-Move over.

 

Time to christen the pool.

 

-We can't.
-Come on.

 

It's our house.

 

Hurry up and get in the pool.

 

You're gonna go to hell.

 

-I am not.
-Yes, you are.

 

God's gonna send you down there
with a stiffy and everyone's gonna laugh.

 

Man, you told me to look.

 

You were dumb enough to do it.

 

Get off me!

 

Marcus? Celia?

 

Don't say anything.

 

What the hell is going on up here?
You're supposed to be looking out for him.

 

I wasn't doing nothing.

 

Marcus, hey, hey, hey.

 

I wasn't doing what?

 

Anything. I wasn't doing anything.

 

What the hell are you fighting...

 

Look, why don't you guys wash up?

 

Let's go downstairs and have some
big bowls of ice cream. Okay?

 

Babe?

 

Can I ask you a question?

 

This house has three bedrooms, right?

 

And there's two of us.

 

So, you know, like,

 

how many offices or dens,

 

whatever-type rooms,
does one need, really?

 

Well, we could...

 

I always wanted a sewing room for me.

 

Sewing.

 

Come on, we'll, you know...

 

No.

 

No, I don't know.

 

I mean, I know that we could turn one
of those rooms into a nursery...

 

-No.
-...if we wanted to.

 

Or not.

 

Lis, come on, we've talked about this.
We'll get around to it. It's just...

 

Right now, we don't know
how any of this is gonna play out.

 

Okay. I just think that there are
really good reasons to not wait.

 

-No, you're right.
-ln fact, to do this right now.

 

-No, l...
-You know?

 

Like, I'm not only thinking about us.
I'm thinking about our families.

 

I think that our families
would really benefit from...

 

I know, I know, I know, I know.

 

Are you hot?

 

No. Are you kidding?

 

No.

 

No.

 

It isn't working.

 

Here you go.

 

Why is it so loose?

 

Probably forgot to screw it back in.

 

The joys of home ownership.

 

What's that?

 

It's a good image for
an antismoking campaign.

 

You've gotta be kidding me.

 

I'll talk to him tomorrow.

 

Mr. Turner.

 

You can call me Abel.

 

Morning.

 

Getting your miles in?

 

Before it gets too hot.

 

Or before I talk myself out of it.

 

Yeah, I hear you on that.

 

Need a hand?

 

Matter of fact, I do.

 

Trying to reach this bolt down
here behind the battery.

 

I need you to hold it this way, just pull it.

 

There you go.

 

-Come on.
-I got it.

 

You all right?

 

-Yeah, just...
-Let's see.

 

Oh, yeah, you're not bleeding too bad.

 

-It's all right.
-You're a tough guy.

 

Must have some lrish in you.

 

Black lrish, probably.

 

Hey, you didn't see anyone around
the side of our house last night, did you?

 

Something happen?

 

Lisa's a little paranoid.

 

Got an alarm system, right?

 

Yeah, it's kind of wonky.

 

You might want to get that fixed.

 

You know, you got a woman
you wanna try and protect.

 

Well, you know, this is stupid,

 

but your outside lights over here...

 

What about them?

 

They're shining right into our upstairs.

 

I see how that could be annoying.

 

Just till we get some curtains up.

 

You know the arroyo back here
that runs along everybody's house?

 

There's some
unsavory characters down there.

 

You know, kids with nothing to do.
They tag stuff, vandalize.

 

-Been some break-ins.
-ls that right?

 

I got a teenage daughter who likes to
sneak out at night if I don't stay on top of it.

 

-You know what I mean?
-I hear you.

 

I bet you don't want them shining down
on your pool deck at night, either.

 

I guess not.

 

Celia, Marcus.

 

This is Mr. Mattson.
He's the man on the other side of the fence.

 

-Say hi.
-Hi.

 

-All right. See you, guys.
-Bye, Dad.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

-Okay, get out of the way. Move.
-No, don't kick the ball.

 

Move!

 

You're stupid! What'd you do that for?

 

Now the lady's coming.

 

Hello?

 

Hey.

 

She did it.

 

Come get it.

 

-Dad never let us over here.
-Why not?

 

He don't want us being freeloaders.

 

That's a good thing to not be.

 

You don't even know what a freeloader is.

 

Somebody that can swim in this pool.

 

Well, you guys can swim here
anytime you want.

 

-You just need to ask your parents.
-Parent.

 

Our mom died.

 

I'm sorry.

 

-So it's just you guys and your dad?
-Yeah.

 

But he has enough rules for two people.

 

Yeah, well, that's how dads are.
It'll get better as you get older.

 

No. He will never change his mind.

 

What he says is what goes,
and the more you argue, the more he's like,

 

"Excuse me? I am the law."

 

Anyways, I like your hair.

 

Thank you. I'm Lisa.

 

Celia.

 

-And you are?
-I'm Marcus.

 

Nice to meet you.

 

-So, Celia, can you do me a favor?
-Sure.

 

My husband and I are having
a housewarming party here on Friday

 

and I would love it if you and your dad
and Marcus all came over

 

so we could kind of get acquainted.

 

You don't have to invite Marcus.

 

She already did.

 

So I'll see you Friday.

 

-Okay.
-Yes.

 

Okay.

 

Nice to meet you guys.

 

-Bye.
-Bye.

 

Bye.

 

Okay, okay, okay.

 

-Hey.
-Hello there.

 

Late night?

 

Well, you know, big town.
A lot of people to suck up to.

 

So, honey, these are...

 

Did you talk to him about the lights?

 

Yeah. He's gonna take care of it.

 

-I'm gonna go talk to him.
-No, I'll do it. Here, let me.

 

-No, because you...
-Let me handle it. Please.

 

-Okay.
-All right.

 

Be nice.

 

-I am nice.
-And don't be all...

 

You know, 'cause he's...

 

What?

 

'Cause he's a brother.

 

He's your brother? I didn't know that.

 

Chris.

 

Jesus.

 

Chris, what's up?

 

Hey, Abel.

 

Your lights?

 

You know, I did not get to that today.

 

Can't you just turn them off?

 

No. You know, they're on a master timer

 

with the rest of the outdoor lights,
sprinklers.

 

I'd have to do that whole instruction
manual thing, you know?

 

-Right.
-There's no excuse, you know.

 

I just had a hell of a day.

 

No, I know what you mean.

 

Want a beer?

 

No. Thanks.

 

But...

 

You'll...

 

Thanks.

 

Chris, wait. Hold it.

 

Be right with you, wait a minute. All right?

 

Let me take you on patrol with me,
show you the neighborhood.

 

Okay.

 

Sure the neighbors appreciate this.

 

Well, not everybody up here's
somebody you wanna live next to.

 

Like who?

 

This guy here, for instance.

 

Sakorsky, Sakwasky, whatever.
Beats on his wife.

 

I told her to come straight to me, but...

 

You know, she didn't have to live that way.

 

Did she...

 

Well, other people's relationships.

 

You think somebody
shouldn't be with somebody,

 

but you can't say that to their face,
now can you?

 

Yup.

 

Over here, now, got some dealing going on,
I think, you know?

 

Pills, weed, maybe a little coke, meth.
A lot of coming and going.

 

Interesting thing is

 

guy's got a different car
in the driveway every week.

 

Maybe he's a car dealer.

 

So what'd they tell you about the hillside?

 

Behind the house?

 

Said there was a slide 10 years ago,

 

county reinforced it, and now they're
clearing it out for condos or whatever.

 

Yeah. Hope they knew what they were doing.

 

Look, Abel, we're here. Okay?

 

And we're counting
on being here a few years.

 

We really want this to be our home.

 

-Raise your family?
-Yeah, eventually.

 

Don't wanna rush it, though, right?

 

Whenever we decide, that's our choice.

 

You and your wife?

 

Who else's would it be?

 

It's a brave new world.

 

How's that?

 

You know, I got nothing against you. Or her.

 

LAPD. I work with all kinds.
I'd lay my life down for those guys.

 

-"All kinds?"
-But that's where I work.

 

This is where I live.

 

I'm trying to raise these kids by myself.

 

Teach them to respect themselves
and the people they come from.

 

So I don't need you or your lady

 

putting your bedroom scenes
out here for them to see.

 

I don't think they're ever going to forget that
little synchronized swimming exhibition.

 

Me, either.

 

Look, Abel, I'm sorry. I...

 

Maybe there's places where that's okay.

 

And maybe that's where you ought to live.

 

Hey.

 

They saw us. Last night.

 

-What do you mean?
-ln the pool.

 

Him, the kids...

 

Oh, my God. I'm mortified.

 

Well, I don't think he likes us anyway.

 

Well, honey,
it's not the best first impression.

 

No, I mean, I don't think he likes
the idea of us together as a couple.

 

Did he say that?

 

In so many words.

 

-Then why would you say that?
-Because I just know.

 

It's not like your dad's my biggest fan.

 

Okay. There's a leap.

 

No, l... Just something I picked up on.

 

-Because your parents are perfect.
-My parents love you.

 

Oh, yeah, they must, because they say it
to my face every time they see me.

 

That's a little harsh.

 

Come on, we said we wouldn't do this,
remember?

 

You are making assumptions about this guy.
You don't even know him.

 

I just walked around
the entire neighborhood with the guy.

 

I think I know him better than you do.

 

Chris, you don't know him.

 

-Oh, come on.
-You don't.

 

-You're right.
-Whatever.

 

No, look. You're right.

 

I don't know him.

 

Guess I never will.

 

-I'm off to bed.
-Okay.

 

He's still not gonna shut off the lights.

 

Lis, where's your bathroom?

 

Down the hall, to the right.

 

I'll get it.

 

-Abel.
-Chris, hey.

 

Welcome. Nice jacket.

 

Yeah, I like it.

 

Mr. Turner, I'm Lisa, Chris' wife.

 

Abel, please.

 

And where are your kids?

 

They could not come.

 

-I'll take a drink, though.
-Okay.

 

Right this way. What are you having?

 

Anything wet.

 

Well, we have a lot of that.

 

-Wet and cold.
-Okay.

 

-Hey, Chris.
-What?

 

You hit the total jackpot, man.

 

I so want to date a black girl.

 

I'm working my way up, though,
doing the Pacific Rim thing right now,

 

if you get what I mean.

 

Well, good luck with that.

 

You know, I heard something
on the news about fires.

 

-Where?
-Around Santa Clarita.

 

-It's global warming.
-Totally. This is not even normal.

 

Yeah. We gotta study the problem further.

 

Don't wanna jump to conclusions.
Wouldn't be right.

 

He's right. It wouldn't be right.

 

Code red. Blue state.

 

A hundred-something degrees?

 

It's snowing at the South Pole.

 

And it's hot in Africa.

 

What? I just mean that's normal, right?

 

Anyway, there is an awful lot of
evidence piling up, so...

 

That something you studied up
at Berkeley, Chris?

 

No, Abel, just something I'm interested in.

 

Oh, so you're not an expert?

 

I mean, you work for, like,
a grocery store chain

 

or something like that, right?

 

Yeah, with a pretty strong
environmental agenda.

 

Timeout. Debate over.
I don't even know what that means.

 

-Well, what do you do, Abel?
-I am a police officer.

 

-Oh, you are?
-Yes, sir.

 

Well, Chris, hide the pot.

 

Not the pot I'm worried about.

 

It's those cigarette butts he keeps
flicking over the fence so the wife won't see.

 

Dude, you're so busted.

 

Really?

 

Where do you patrol, Abel?

 

I'm assigned to
the Valley Bureau of the LAPD,

 

over near Panorama City.

 

You know where that is?

 

Yes. I think.

 

Been there?

 

-Never been.
-Come on down.

 

We'll show you some things.

 

Like how to be an asshole.

 

I'm sorry,
is there something you wanna say?

 

No.

 

But you seem to have an opinion about
law enforcement. I'd like to hear it.

 

-Oh, let's talk about something else.
-Oh, no, no, no.

 

We could talk about something else,

 

but I think your friends
wanna talk about this.

 

I just find that there's an attitude.

 

You know, a kind of aggressiveness
when you deal with them.

 

Which I can certainly understand.

 

I'm sorry, Miss...

 

-Eden.
-Eden.

 

Well, Eden, when you're getting
jacked outside your loft

 

and Dubya here doesn't have

 

the energy to stop it,

 

we'll see about sending
the nice police over to help you.

 

That's if it's not too late.

 

-Oh, what is this?
-White zinfandel.

 

-It's very refreshing.
-Oh, good.

 

Well, it's getting late.

 

Chris, Lisa, thanks for inviting me.

 

It's been enlightening.

 

Night, all.

 

Don't drink and drive.

 

What time is it?

 

Yeah, let's go.

 

That's fresh dill.

 

Abel, hold on.

 

Look, the cigarettes, I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking. I apologize.

 

But in front of my wife?

 

That's really not cool.

 

You didn't like that?

 

No, I didn't.

 

And whatever it is about me,
or us, that bothers you,

 

we gotta figure out a way to deal with this.
All right?

 

So, what do you propose?

 

-What?
-What's your agenda?

 

My agenda is...

 

Can't we all just get along?

 

Oh, not Rodney King.
You playing the race card?

 

Come on, man, this is getting a little
out of hand, I mean...

 

I need you to back off.

 

Back off?

 

Yeah, a little.

 

Or what?

 

See, you keep saying stuff like that.

 

Like we're not welcome here,
we should move.

 

But we're fitting in just fine.

 

Says who?

 

Maybe you're the one with the problem.

 

-I don't smoke.
-You know what?

 

I said I was sorry. Just stay out of my life.

 

Stay out of your life?

 

You have a good night, Chris.

 

Jesus...

 

What is it with this neighborhood?

 

It's like they hate us.

 

Oh, honey? Is that the Prius?

 

Honey, do you see anything?

 

No. Hit the lights.

 

Okay.

 

Hey, babe? Did you leave this door open?

 

No.

 

Oh, shit.

 

The tires are flat.

 

They're slashed.

 

Shit.

 

-What are you...
-Move, move.

 

Chris! Chris, what are you doing?

 

God damn it.

 

Well, whoever it is, they're gone.

 

Everything okay over there?

 

I thought I heard somebody moving
around over there.

 

Did you see anyone?

 

No.

 

I just see you.

 

So you're just not gonna
do anything about it?

 

I'm sorry, ma'am,
there's just not much we can do.

 

Abel, Officer Turner,
he said he heard some noises.

 

Sounded like somebody moving
along the side of your house.

 

I'm sure he did.

 

Well, you get some late-night traffic
from the arroyo back there.

 

Bunch of kids with nothing better to do
than make other people's lives miserable.

 

Yeah, I keep hearing about them.

 

That's not much
of a lock on that door there.

 

But we'll take a swing around,
you know, see what we see.

 

It wasn't kids in the arroyo.

 

Then what was it?

 

Well, if you hear any other noises, ma'am,
I'm sorry, just give us a call, okay?

 

You guys are lucky.
You have a cop living next door.

 

Thank you, Officer.
Thank you for all your help.

 

-Thanks, guys, for coming out.
-Hey, we can come on back.

 

Stay alert out there, all right?

 

I guess we could dust for prints.

 

Honey, next time, use an ashtray.

 

How do you even know it's mine?

 

-Do you have any proof?
-Not exactly.

 

But he told us we weren't welcome in
the neighborhood. That's what he told me.

 

He refused to turn off his floodlights,

 

he's made these implications
about Lisa and me,

 

and he was standing right there
after the whole car tire thing, just waiting.

 

Honey, do you have any proof?

 

Chris just answered that, Daddy.
No. No, not exactly, but...

 

The way it seems to me,

 

the man never made an actual threat
against your life or property.

 

So it's his word against yours.

 

And he has, let's say,
the color issue on his side.

 

And that color happens to be blue.

 

As for the lights, you could file a civil suit.

 

I wouldn't advise it.

 

These things have a knack
for turning out badly.

 

Yeah, but why do we
have to be the ones to...

 

That was my professional opinion.

 

What's the point of carrying on with this?

 

You bought this as a starter home.
Fine, you started.

 

Put it back on the market.
You take a loss, so what?

 

Then you can do what we wanted you to do,
which is let us help you.

 

Harold, do you think you
could just have the courtesy

 

of including me in the conversation?

 

Are you going to have children?

 

What?

 

Daddy, that's not what we came here
to talk to you about.

 

Chris wants me to address him.
This is what's on my mind.

 

You plan to have children
with my daughter?

 

Yes, I do.

 

We do. I do. Yes.

 

How do you intend to protect them?

 

How am I going to protect them?

 

Well, I'm gonna get a gun, Harold.

 

I'm going to amass an arsenal.
A lot of firepower.

 

How's that work for you?

 

Excuse me for a moment.

 

Wow, look at that.

 

-It's worse than this morning.
-Yeah, I know.

 

Are we gonna talk about this at all?

 

What?

 

Oh, well.
There's a 10-day grace period on firearms,

 

so I got lights.

 

And do we think that this is the right thing
to do to solve the problem?

 

Oh, I don't think it's gonna solve anything.

 

But I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of it.

 

Okay. Let me know if you need any help.

 

Okay.

 

Man, I am so totally burnt right now.

 

-Late night?
-Yeah, Connie kept me up.

 

Yeah, I seem to remember
something like that.

 

No, it's she wants out of Boyle Heights.

 

You know, she's right, man.

 

You can't be living around
the people you got to be arresting.

 

Wife ever bust your chops
about moving up?

 

-Jocelyn?
-Yeah.

 

Never gave her a chance, man.
I was busting my hump for her.

 

Eight years of double shifts,
all the overtime I could drag down,

 

extra security jobs, taking all the shit details
nobody else wanted.

 

I grew up in South Central.

 

There's no way
I was gonna raise my kids there.

 

Now's the time to get out, you know.
They'll be gone before you know it.

 

It's the perfect opportunity.

 

-That's why I'm taking the exam.
-What exam's that?

 

Detective exam.

 

Get off the street, bump up a pay grade.
About 15 years, and I'm out.

 

'Cause I don't really wanna be
doing this stuff when I'm...

 

I just don't love the job the way you do.

 

Unit 51, we have a 4-15 in progress.
Male suspect, possible shots fired.

 

137 South Oxford Street.

 

Pop the siren, detective sergeant.

 

Unit 51, 10-4.

 

About time.

 

Who called the cops?

 

He's got his wife and his little girl in there,
yelling about how he gonna kill them both.

 

-Have any weapons?
-Yeah, yeah, I think he's got a gun.

 

He didn't open the door
and I wasn't staying to find out.

 

Okay, what apartment number is it?

 

Apartment seven.
Straight back in the corner.

 

-Left?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

 

-What's his name?
-Damon Richards.

 

-Keep these people back.
-All right.

 

Get inside.

 

What? I'm poor, okay! What? Look at me!

 

Trying to say you're better than me now?

 

I'm not talking about my baby!

 

-You know what? Forget him and you!
-Please hurry.

 

You can take this damn baby away!
I don't need it!

 

Both of you!
You're just a strain on my finances.

 

LAPD, Mr. Richards.

 

-Man, get away from my door!
-Listen, my name is Abel.

 

I wanna know if your wife
and child are safe, okay?

 

Man, don't worry about them!
Get away from my door!

 

Listen, Damon, let's talk about this.

 

Man, we ain't gonna talk about nothing!

 

We can play this any way you want, okay?

 

Let's just keep talking, all right?

 

Make sure everything is cool inside,
all right?

 

Gun!

 

-Oh, my baby.
-You okay?

 

No!

 

-Damon! Stop!
-Everything's gonna be okay.

 

-Just stay there.
-Officer, wait! Please don't hurt him!

 

-Stop!
-He's a good guy!

 

Our guy's on the ground!
He's out the window!

 

-Call for backup!
-Hey! Stay back! Sit down!

 

-No! No!
-Stay back!

 

-Please! Please, just let him go, Officer.
-Unit 51 requesting assistance.

 

Man with a gun.

 

Give it up, Damon! Come on, give it up!

 

Stop, Damon! Stop right there!
Put the gun down! End of the line! Hold it!

 

Don't come closer! Don't come closer!

 

I swear to God I'll do it!

 

Okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay.

 

-Don't come closer!
-Let's talk about this, all right?

 

-Calm down, calm down, calm down.
-I'll do it!

 

-Take it easy. Take it easy, okay?
-I'll do it. I'll do it!

 

We can talk about this. All right?
There you go.

 

-What are you doing?
-Now stop bullshitting.

 

You wanna do this, do it.

 

Come on, stop playing. Stop bullshitting.
Go ahead, do it! Do it!

 

Come on! What, you need some help?

 

-Move your finger. Move your finger!
-No! No!

 

Give me the goddamn gun then!

 

Up! Get up!

 

Look in my eyes. Look in my eyes!

 

Is this gonna happen again?

 

-No!
-What?

 

No, sir! No! I swear to God, no!

 

God ain't here, you swear to me.

 

I swear. I swear to you, sir!

 

Now, you be a man, understand?
You take your responsibility.

 

I don't give a shit what your situation is!
You be a father to that baby, you got me?

 

Abel!

 

If I have to come back here,

 

I'm gonna be the one doing the shooting,
you understand?

 

Yes, sir.

 

-Detective Villareal.
-Yes, sir.

 

Put some restraints on this young man.

 

-But do it gently, please.
-Absolutely.

 

You heard him. Come on.
Let's go. Come on!

 

Hey.

 

What are you doing?

 

You said any time.

 

Yeah, if your dad said it was okay, Celia.
I have a feeling he didn't.

 

-How old are you?
-Fifteen.

 

You're a very brave girl.

 

Make sure you ask
your dad next time, okay?

 

Yeah. Right.

 

Hey, can I ask you a question?

 

Sure.

 

-You got me.
-So, in school there's a lot of hooking up.

 

Okay.

 

And if a black guy goes out
with a white girl,

 

his boys are like, "Dawg, you the shit."

 

Right.

 

But other way around and they're on you.
"Sister" this, "sister" that.

 

-ls that what's going on with you?
-There's this guy.

 

And you like him?

 

Well, it depends.
How much do I have to like him?

 

Well, if he's gonna be your boyfriend
you should probably really like him.

 

Especially if he's white,
because it may not be easy.

 

But you like who you like, right?

 

-Yeah.
-All right.

 

-Hey, what is this?
-Destiny's Child.

 

-Okay. I think I've heard this.
-You think?

 

It's nice. I like it.

 

No, I think I gotta move to this. Wait.

 

Oh, my gosh! I feel so old.

 

-Come on, take it.
-No!

 

You can shuffle around a little bit.

 

Sure.

 

Come on. You're not old.
You'll get it. Come on.

 

No. No, no, no.
You are doing fine for the both of us.

 

Come on!

 

Oh, my gosh, you're a great dancer.

 

-Come on, get down to it. Come on.
-No way!

 

No! No. Absolutely not. I'm not doing that.

 

-Remember this one?
-Who taught you that?

 

-What do you know about that?
-My mom did. My mom taught me that.

 

-Oh, my God. I feel so old.
-Come on!

 

Did I give you permission
to come over here?

 

Abel.

 

Answer me, young lady.

 

No, I'm just...

 

No, I did not give you, my daughter,
permission to come over here

 

because it matters to me
what you're learning

 

and who you're learning it from.

 

Okay, I told her she could come over

 

-and swim whenever she wanted to.
-Oh, so what I say doesn't matter.

 

That's not what I meant, Abel.

 

No, no, no, no, no.
I understand where you're coming from.

 

I need to be fresh and liberal

 

and open to what other people think and do,
is that right, Lisa?

 

-That's right.
-Okay. All right, then.

 

Well, let's all get crazy.
Let's just get down then, huh?

 

-What are you doing?
-Forget the rules, huh?

 

-There are no rules.
-Abel...

 

We make them up as we go along,
is that right, Lisa? I am right, aren't l?

 

You've made your point, Abel.

 

Whatever we wanna do,
that's all right, right?

 

-That's enough.
-How you say it, baby girl?

 

-Listen, you made your point.
-Let's get ill! This is sick!

 

-Okay, Dad! All right!
-This is dope! Let's keep it gangsta! Holla!

 

What?

 

It's okay for you to parade around
in your underwear, but not me, huh?

 

You know what that is?

 

That's hypocrisy. That's a double standard.

 

There's no room
in this world for that anymore.

 

Didn't you teach her that, Lisa?

 

I mean, you did teach her everything
you know, right?

 

-No.
-She knows a shitload more than you do.

 

-Okay, Celia...
-I beg your pardon?

 

Stop messing with my life!

 

Telling me what to do,
what to say, what to wear!

 

You don't know anything about me,
who I am or what I think.

 

You're just an old man with a badge on
and his pants off.

 

Okay, Abel, that is not okay.

 

I'm sorry.

 

I'm not myself these days.
You know, I'm not sleeping very well.

 

You have no right to hit her.

 

Oh, let's you and me have a long discussion
about my parental rights, why don't we?

 

Get off my property.

 

Or what?

 

You wanna call the cops?

 

Here. I'll tell you who's on duty.

 

You okay? You're not eating.

 

My stomach's been funny all day.

 

You getting the flu?

 

Just tension.

 

Maybe he finally got the message.
No lights tonight.

 

It's nice out here.

 

This place is gonna look really sweet
by the time we're done with it.

 

Just about when we're ready
to put it back on the market.

 

I'm sensing a theme here.

 

Be honest with me.
You wanna sell this place?

 

Do you?

 

Why, I certainly don't want
anyone else deciding that for us.

 

Not the guy next door. Not your father.

 

They're not the same person, Chris.

 

And you don't have to prove anything
to either one of them.

 

Come on, I know that. Why wouldn't l...

 

Okay, we'll just let that be your own
little transference deal.

 

-We won't actually talk about that, I guess.
-What?

 

That's what you think this is?

 

Oh, don't get all "l know..."

 

Come on, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. Don't do this.

 

I am constantly taking shit from
black guys about our relationship.

 

"Constantly."

 

Constantly?

 

Okay. Whatever. Lisa...

 

It just gets exhausting
being on the front lines all the time.

 

You have no idea.

 

What does that mean?

 

I'm just gonna go upstairs
and lie down and read my book, okay?

 

Everything meet with your approval?

 

You always did keep the place neat.

 

Just don't seem to enjoy it much anymore.

 

You just said something nice to me, right?
I mean, sort of?

 

Hey, baby. You got everything?

 

Yup. I'm gonna ride
the horse this year, Aunt Dorrie.

 

-Are you asking or telling?
-Asking.

 

Well, then I think we can manage that.

 

-Giddyup, partner. And have fun, okay?
-Okay.

 

Don't I get a goodbye?

 

See you.

 

Can we go?

 

So, what was all that about?

 

I don't know. She's 15 and female.
You tell me.

 

Here.

 

You can give this back to her

 

if you want her walking around
like a zombie child for the next two weeks.

 

What is going on with you, Abel?
I mean, you seemed like you were fine.

 

Now all of a sudden, I don't know,
you seem different.

 

I am fine, and I've always been different.
Never been better.

 

See you, guys. Have fun.

 

You okay in there?

 

I'm pregnant.

 

-You sure?
-Yeah.

 

I did three of them.

 

Should we call, or...

 

What about your pills?

 

I might have missed a few. Maybe.

 

Well, either you did or you didn't.

 

I did. Okay?

 

So... I did.

 

I thought we were gonna wait.

 

You don't always get
to choose this kind of thing, Chris.

 

Yeah, you do, that's sort of the point.

 

Come on, you choose to take birth control,

 

you can read the label and...

 

-Come on, we had a plan.
-Our plan was to start a family.

 

I can't believe you're not even
just a little bit happy about this.

 

-Oh, come on, that's not fair.
-Well, you know, I didn't...

 

This is not some sort of sneak attack.

 

Right now,
you want to start a family right now?

 

Right now? We just moved in!

 

-I'm sorry. Is it not convenient for you?
-Oh, God! No, come on!

 

It's not about convenience.
It's a whole different life, you know?

 

And what life is that, Chris?
The one where you're not married to me?

 

Come on, Lisa, that's not...

 

I gotta go to work. I'm late.

 

Bye.

 

What's going on, Captain?

 

Damon Richards. You know him?

 

And you are?

 

This is Bronson and Morgada. They're...

 

Internal Affairs.

 

Yeah. It's just a procedural thing, Abel.

 

So, what about Richards?

 

We arrested him last week.
He took two shots at me and my partner.

 

He's bringing a suit against the department.

 

Brutality charges, violation of civil rights,

 

as well as a personnel complaint
against you.

 

"Officer Turner used excessive force,
made threats against..."

 

I gave that asshole a pass, Cap.
He took two shots at us.

 

You were verbally abusive
and you left him with three broken ribs.

 

Not to mention shoving a gun in his face.

 

That is not accurate.

 

I talked to him.
I tried to educate the individual.

 

I never struck him.

 

If he was injured, that happened
when he was out of our custody.

 

Look, this is all bullshit, Abel.

 

But this is what
we have to deal with now, right?

 

So finish your tour today,

 

then take some time off
in lieu of disciplinary action.

 

All right?

 

-How much time?
-Until we tell you otherwise.

 

Because, you know, frankly,
over the last few years,

 

you have a number of question marks
on your record.

 

So I wouldn't push it.

 

You should be thinking retirement.
It's about that time.

 

28 years. 28 years and this is what I get?

 

What do you think you deserve?

 

Heads up, heads up.

 

-Don't stop on my account.
-You don't wanna hear it, Abel.

 

-I heard nigger jokes before.
-No, it's not that.

 

We're throwing a bachelor party
for Davis tonight.

 

-And I'm not invited?
-Yeah, sure you are.

 

We just thought that, you know, it wasn't...

 

We thought it's not your thing.

 

Tell you what,
why don't you bring it to my house, okay?

 

No civilians, you can cut loose all night.

 

What about the kids?

 

They're doing their two-week bit
with my sister-in-law out in Lancaster.

 

-Perfect timing.
-You really want to?

 

My reputation's on the line here.
Besides, I need a good lap dance.

 

-All right, let's do it.
-Now we got a place.

 

We got a place.

 

What's going on?

 

-Nothing.
-Babe, do you hear this?

 

-I don't believe this.
-What time is it?

 

It's, like, 3:00 in the morning.

 

-Where are you going?
-To tell them to shut up!

 

No, you're not... Lisa, wait. Wait!

 

No.

 

-Wait! Wait, wait.
-No.

 

-Look, please.
-Hey, let go of me.

 

I'll deal with it.

 

Oh, this you wanna deal with, right?

 

The macho bullshit. This you can handle.

 

Don't start.

 

-Open the front door, man. Open it!
-I got it.

 

Yeah?

 

Hey, can you ask Abel to come to the door?

 

-What's the problem?
-Well, we're trying to sleep.

 

We're trying to get hammered, asshole.

 

-Hey, man!
-What's up?

 

Hey, there you guys are, man.
What happened to you?

 

Hey! Who put you on the VlP list?

 

Abel, what are you doing?

 

It's 3:00 in the morning,
we're trying to sleep.

 

Come on, Chris. I'm glad you came over,
we can bury the hatchet.

 

Let's get you a drink.

 

Fellows!
This is my next door neighbor, Chris.

 

As you can see, he is a Democrat.

 

Hey, we're not biased here.

 

You can hug as many
and any tree you want. All right?

 

Here you go.

 

Fellow cop's getting hitched.

 

Condemned man's last meal,
you know the deal, right?

 

Oh, hey, congratulations.

 

Now can you just turn
the goddamn music down?

 

Is it disturbing you?

 

Come on, it's practically
breaking the fricking windows.

 

I bet you can't even
hear yourselves screw, huh?

 

Chris here got himself a little dark
meat over there, you know?

 

You know, you need to be careful, neighbor.

 

You might not be enough man for her.

 

Just busting your balls.

 

You know what they say,
"Once you go black..."

 

-"You never go back."
-There you go!

 

Besides, you don't wanna
piss these guys off, do you?

 

Look at that! That's something, isn't it?

 

I'm massively aroused.

 

Oh, see, there you go.
You're doing that Berkeley thing again.

 

You're saying one thing,
but you mean another.

 

That's irony, right?

 

I don't know. I don't know.

 

You don't know?
If you went to Stanford you'd know.

 

Oh, come on, man, lighten up.

 

Look, look.
As soon as we get through with the groom,

 

we'll turn the music down, you go home,
you get some sleep, all right?

 

Bring him in here, yeah!

 

Bring him in here, guys!

 

-Put it on him, put it on him, put it on him!
-Show these cops.

 

Come on, now!

 

Hit him in the face with them!
Beat him in the face with those things!

 

Come on, now!

 

Kim!

 

Come on, now, give it up!

 

-Thank you.
-Oh, shut up. Come with me.

 

-Are you bad?
-Take it down!

 

Now, look...

 

Don't let him get away! No, no!

 

Now we talking! Now we talking!

 

Get off me!

 

Grind it on him, baby. Put it on him!
Put it on him!

 

Be careful now, he's a married man!

 

He doesn't look so married to me.

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Let him up, let him up! Let him up!

 

Nice pair, huh, Chris?
Little bit better than Lisa's, though, right?

 

You do not wanna do that. Believe me.

 

-Get him out of here.
-Get off me.

 

It's a grown man's
playground over here, Chris.

 

Tell the wife good night!

 

Oh, shit! Bring those strippers back here.

 

Come on, don't let her stop!

 

No, now's the time. Put them titties out.
Break those titties out on him, baby!

 

Yeah, right there! Right there.

 

Hey.

 

Babe, what are you doing?

 

Where's my goddamn camcorder?

 

Why?

 

I've gotta record everything
that bastard does.

 

Chris.

 

I'm gonna take away his job...

 

Honey.

 

Pension...

 

-His house...
-Honey, what happened over there?

 

God. You didn't forget.

 

-What?
-You didn't forget!

 

-You stopped taking them!
-What are you talking about?

 

Your pills! What, you had to trick me?

 

That's the kind of marriage you want? Fine!

 

I didn't stop taking them,
I just missed a few days, and then l...

 

I didn't do it on purpose!

 

Oh, really?
'Cause I find that hard to believe!

 

-I don't even know who you are.
-I'm your wife.

 

Are you?
'Cause I don't even recognize you anymore!

 

Where is that damn thing?

 

A number of wildfires
are raging out of control

 

and have so far burned 2500 acres

 

and destroyed 185 homes
and businesses all around the Southland.

 

The governor has declared
a state of emergency

 

in six counties in Southern California.

 

Forty thousand people have been
evacuated in the declared areas.

 

Everything is just so hard.

 

I mean, no one want to lose any houses,
much less their own.

 

Right now two additional fire teams
are gearing up to hit the lines tonight.

 

We are joined right now
by Metro fire chief Greg Malio.

 

-Greg, thanks for being with us.
-You're welcome, Pamela.

 

Be careful now, he's a married man!

 

He doesn't look so married to me.

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Let him up, let him up! Let him up!

 

That's great, guys.
Just put them all along the wall.

 

Why are we doing this?

 

It's good for the environment.

 

Trees make oxygen.

 

Well, you certainly don't look pregnant.

 

That must make you happy.

 

What's going on, Lis?

 

I'm sorry.

 

I just can't stand this.

 

I hate my job. I'm not even getting paid.

 

-Then quit.
-And do what?

 

I hate this neighborhood. I miss my family.

 

Look, we knew it was gonna be hard.

 

Maybe not this hard.
But we agreed that we'd...

 

No, I agreed to do whatever you wanted

 

because I thought that we were
moving toward something.

 

We are.

 

It's your idea about what all this
is supposed to look like.

 

-We just need to get used to this.
-"We" are now all three of us.

 

I really need you to start thinking that way.

 

I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy.

 

That is all I have ever wanted.

 

Hey. Hey!

 

Hey!

 

Hey! What are you...
Hey! What the hell are you doing?

 

-What? I can't hear you!
-Turn that goddamn thing off!

 

-Abel, what's wrong with you?
-Turn it off and put it down!

 

Now, you didn't ask my permission
to plant these trees.

 

But they're hanging over on my property,

 

so I don't need your permission
to cut them down.

 

Oh, come on!

 

Turn that goddamn thing off!

 

You wanna shut
that mouthy bitch of yours up?

 

She can say whatever she wants, asshole.

 

Or what? You wanna come over here
and get busy, Chris? Come on!

 

Come on over. Let's do something.

 

Abel, come on, turn it off!

 

Shut it off, my ass.

 

What is wrong with you?

 

Come on over.
Oh, you want her to be the man now?

 

-Shut up!
-Come on. Bring it on over here. Come on.

 

Come on, player, come on! Come on!
Come on, then.

 

-That's what you want? Think you're bad?
-Yeah, yeah! Yeah, that's right, I'm bad!

 

Yeah, put your little saw down!
What do you got now, buddy?

 

Stop it. Honey. Honey! Honey! Hey! Stop it!

 

Stop it!

 

You like that, huh? Lisa, back up!

 

-Have you lost your mind, Chris?
-Lisa, get off.

 

-Stop it! Stop it!
-Get off of me!

 

Come on!

 

Chris, stop it! Have you lost your mind?

 

Real tough now, huh?

 

Oh, shut up. Put the saw down and let's see.
Let's go! Come on!

 

Come on over here. Come on!

 

There you go.

 

Run on in the house. Pussy. Sugar britches.

 

-Prick.
-That's right!

 

Plant something else over there,
see if I don't cut that down, too!

 

The flames are advancing quickly
in the hills surrounding

 

The flames are advancing quickly
in the hills surrounding

 

four counties in Southern California.

 

In a moment, we're gonna talk about

 

the drought conditions
across much of the country.

 

But first, we're gonna go
to where they're paying

 

a big price for tinderbox conditions.

 

Hot enough for you?

 

I could use another 50 degrees.

 

-Anything else?
-No, I'm good. Thanks.

 

-Well, welcome to the neighborhood.
-Thank you.

 

People here are describing
the harrowing scene

 

as they grabbed whatever they could

 

of their precious possessions
and fled for their lives.

 

As the fires roared out of control,

 

fanned by 65-mile-per-hour
Santa Ana winds...

 

Damn. I was trying to get away from you.

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey. It's okay.

 

She's got a big old 1 2-gauge back there.
Nothing's gonna jump off.

 

Nope. Had my drink.

 

There's no need in you rushing home.
Lisa's not back yet.

 

That kind of woman,
you gotta let her cool off for a while.

 

Abel, Abel. Abel.
I don't care what you have to say.

 

I don't care what you think.

 

Just save it, all right?
All your poisonous race crap.

 

Okay. You know what?

 

Wasn't a good day for me.
Shit got a little out of hand. My bad.

 

Sweetheart, bring me my regular

 

and give him another
whatever it was he was having on me.

 

Okay? All right?

 

-There you go, darling.
-Thank you, baby.

 

Here you go.

 

Look at that shit. Headed right for us, huh?

 

You know what today is?

 

No, how would you know?

 

Today's the third anniversary
of my wife's death.

 

When Marcus went back to school,
she became a home-care aide.

 

Mostly old people.

 

Alzheimer's patients, stroke victims.

 

I don't know how in the hell she did it,

 

but it made me kind of glad that
that's what she did, you know?

 

Sort of, you know, balanced things out,
you know?

 

How's that?

 

Well, you know,
because of what I do on my job.

 

Three years ago to the day,

 

I get a phone call.

 

My wife's been in a head-on collision.

 

Some guy high off his ass,

 

going 90 miles an hour
the wrong way on the 101 just...

 

They took her to Hollywood Memorial.

 

She died on a gurney in the hall

 

because somebody forgot to tell them
she was the wife of a police officer,

 

so they treated her by pigmentation.

 

-How do you know that?
-Because I know things.

 

Well, I'm sorry.

 

Thing is,

 

what I been trying to figure out
for three years to this day

 

is why she was with her employer,

 

who took a steering column
through the chest, by the way.

 

Where were they going
or coming from, Chris?

 

My wife and her white boss?

 

In the middle of the afternoon on the 101

 

when she should have been changing
some old Jew's Depends down on Fairfax.

 

That really what
you wanna think about today?

 

-Wouldn't you?
-No, I wouldn't.

 

And why you telling me this?
What does this have to do with me?

 

Nothing.

 

Except you and your little chocolate drop

 

picked the wrong time to move
and the wrong place.

 

Whatever, Abel.

 

See, there you go.
You white boys always say that. "Whatever."

 

And then you go ahead
and just do your shit anyway.

 

What's that supposed to mean?

 

That you think you can take
whatever you want.

 

And I hate that. I hate it!
That's what it means!

 

Hey, sorry, sweetheart.

 

We just having a heart-to-heart here.
Right, Chris?

 

You know what, Abel?

 

Fuck you.

 

Is that a "we are the world" fuck you?

 

No. It's a special one, just for you.

 

You've earned it.

 

We're not moving.

 

"Whatever."

 

They said it's under control.

 

Yeah, well, let's get this over with.

 

-Then what?
-I don't know.

 

We feel safe with Abel across the street

 

because there are very bad people out there.

 

People who steal and shoot you.

 

But we have a black policeman living here.

 

-Yes, it's very comforting.
-Annabelle, you leaving?

 

Hey, hey, hey. Abel's famous cornbread.

 

Where's Celia and Marcus?

 

It's their week to spend
with my sister-in-law.

 

Hi, Lisa. How are you?

 

They're probably out there sharing tales
about what a hard-ass their dad is.

 

They're gonna be grateful
for the rules one day.

 

Yeah, I keep telling them that,
but I don't think they believe me.

 

Fellows.

 

Hey, what's the word, Abel?
Are we gonna be okay down here?

 

Yeah. You know,
they'll stop it at the firebreak.

 

Never get through the pass.

 

Chris, how you doing?

 

Good.

 

Got his game face on. Who's winning?

 

Johnny and Chris right now.

 

All right, well, I got next.

 

Great.

 

Hope this is not Division.

 

-Turner here.
-It's Darlington.

 

-Yeah.
-I'm in the crib, homey.

 

Nice shot.

 

All right, do your thing.

 

Nice shot.

 

Ain't nobody bitch, you prick!

 

Babe, I'm just really... I think I should go.

 

You sure? You want me to go?

 

No, it's fine.

 

You accepted the invite, you should stay.

 

All right.

 

-I'll be home in a bit.
-All right.

 

Come on. Pick up.

 

-What's up?
-Get out of the house now.

 

The wife is on the way home.

 

You said they were away.

 

Bail your big ass out of there right now.

 

Shit.

 

Chris?

 

Be nice.

 

-Calm down.
-Jesus.

 

No! Stop!

 

What is that? Is that mine?

 

I'll check on it. Wait. Wait.

 

That is mine.

 

Calm down.

 

Just hold still!

 

No! No!

 

Will you just calm down?

 

-Chris. Wait!
-Shit!

 

-Chris!
-What?

 

-Stay there!
-It's my wife!

 

Lisa?

 

Lisa?

 

Yo, playa!

 

What's up, man?

 

What the hell, dude? Come on.

 

Hey, what are you...

 

Lisa?

 

Lisa?

 

God damn it.

 

Oh, shit. No, no, no, no. Baby.

 

Don't touch her.

 

This is Officer Abel Turner
with the Valley Bureau.

 

I need a black and white and an
ambulance at 1100 Lakeview Circle.

 

10-53, possible head trauma.

 

-Don't move her!
-Look, I'm trying to see if she's alive!

 

Just talk to her.
Keep her calm till the paramedics come.

 

Oh, Jesus.

 

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God, you're okay.

 

You're okay. You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.

 

Come on.
Shit, where's your goddamn phone?

 

-Abel.
-Jesus Christ!

 

Everything's under control.
The ambulance is on its way.

 

-You all right?
-Fine.

 

Dr. Cohen, 6931. Dr. Cohen, 6931.

 

Dr. Cohen, 6931. Dr. Cohen, 6931.

 

Mr. Mattson? The doctor will see you now.

 

Okay, thanks.

 

Hey.

 

How you doing?

 

About three degrees south of awful.

 

I don't even know what that means.

 

So they checked you out and you're okay.
Baby's okay.

 

Honey, that guy...

 

What happened? Did they catch him?

 

Abel took care of him.

 

Abel?

 

-Shot him.
-ln our house?

 

What was Abel doing in our house?

 

We heard the alarm. Ran over.

 

Right.

 

-Hey, you need to rest, okay?
-Yeah.

 

They're just gonna do a few more tests
and we'll get out of here soon.

 

Yeah, Turner here.

 

Hey, my man. How's it going?

 

Detective. How goes it with you?

 

Hey, man, I just wanted you to know,

 

I told them you never
laid a finger on that guy.

 

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

 

So when you coming back?

 

You know, it's hard to say. I don't know.

 

Baby.

 

Yeah, well, we still got
some fine times ahead of us, man.

 

I'm not taking that test for,
like, probably a year, or whatever.

 

That's great.

 

Anyway, I just thought I'd call
and check up on you, man.

 

I saw your neighborhood on the news

 

and you pour that whole reservoir
on it if you have to, okay?

 

You know I will. Thanks for calling.

 

All right.

 

Bye.

 

Hey.

 

Go on through. Right on through.
Keep going.

 

-He's right. They've been notified!
-It's closed off.

 

Hey. Can we go up?

 

Only fire crew and homeowners, sir.

 

We live on Lakeview Circle.

 

Hold on.

 

That's us. That's our address.

 

I strongly suggest you pack
what you can quickly and evacuate.

 

Nobody knows where
this thing's headed right now.

 

-Okay. Thanks.
-Thank you.

 

All right, clear a lane here!

 

No problem. Let them through.

 

Hey.

 

You better think about getting out of here.

 

I'll tough it out.

 

Yo, what's up? This is Clarence. Leave it.

 

Oh, God.

 

This is unbelievable.

 

Oh, my God.

 

Honey, we should start packing.

 

I know. I know, I know, I know.
Let's get going.

 

You know what?
Go on inside, I'm gonna go talk to Abel.

 

-Baby...
-No, I wanna thank him.

 

Right.

 

Abel.

 

Hey, how's your wife?

 

She's okay. Thanks to you.

 

Look, that guy who broke in,

 

he deserved what he got.

 

And I'll tell anyone that.

 

You know, you better get on this
or get on back down the hill.

 

Yeah, we're just gonna
grab some things and...

 

Just wanna say thanks.

 

Okay.

 

Babe, what can I get from downstairs?

 

Just the photo albums.

 

Okay. I'll be right back up.

 

Turner.

 

Lisa!

 

Chris?

 

You got this all wrong.

 

Yeah, that's the bad guy's phone.

 

He's been calling me, threatening me,
saying he's gonna hurt Celia.

 

Came to your place by mistake.

 

You said yourself I did the right thing.

 

And you were good with that, right?

 

Chris!

 

Oh, God!

 

Stay down! Stay down!
Don't move, you son of a bitch!

 

Lisa! Lisa, get out here!

 

Stay down!

 

Take the keys, take the car, take this phone,
go down the hill and get the police.

 

-What do you mean?
-He lied about everything!

 

He got the guy to break into the house!

 

Just go, honey, go! Go!

 

Okay, okay! Okay, okay.

 

You son of a bitch!

 

Please help me!

 

Chris.

 

-Chris, help!
-Come on!

 

Chris! Chris, please help!

 

You can't get away!

 

Neither one of you!

 

-Stay back!
-Give it up, Chris!

 

Get away from us!

 

-You made your stand!
-Chris!

 

-Get back!
-Come on!

 

Help me!

 

Please, no, no, no, no!

 

-Put down your weapon! Do it!
-Jesus Christ.

 

-Put down your weapon!
-He's trying to kill us!

 

I got it under control, fellows.
It's all right, okay?

 

He's my neighbor.

 

He's having a bad day, you know?
He's under a lot of stress.

 

He's lying!
Don't listen to him, he's got a gun!

 

-I do not have a weapon! Look!
-No, he's lying.

 

His wife was attacked today.
I took the guy down.

 

You can call in and check that out.
All right?

 

Do not move any further!

 

He's just a little demented.

 

He went off and attacked me,
but he's okay. All right?

 

He's got a gun, it's right behind his back!

 

Listen, I'm LAPD, guys!
I'm law enforcement like you!

 

I don't give a damn
if you're the Pope, asshole!

 

Do not move any further!

 

It's true, he's a cop!

 

See, Chris? I'm the police!

 

You have to do what I say, okay?
Put down the gun, all right?

 

Sir, put the weapon down!

 

No, I will not! Not till he puts his down!

 

-He's got a gun, God damn it!
-Chris, get down.

 

I do not have a gun.

 

Then turn around, Abel! Then turn around!

 

Sir, drop the weapon!

 

Please. Please get down.

 

Come on!

 

If you point that thing at me, Chris,
you better be willing to use it.

 

-Stay where you are!
-This is what you want, huh, Abel?

 

-Sir, drop it!
-This is what you want?

 

Chris, listen to me! Stop it!

 

Listen to your wife, asshole!

 

Chris, please stop!

 

Chris.

 

-Did you listen to your wife?
-What?

 

-Did you?
-Chris, stop!

 

Maybe you should've listened to your wife.
Did you see it coming?

 

-Shut up! You don't bring my wife into this!
-When she ran off on you?

 

-You leave my wife out of this!
-Did you see it coming?

 

-Don't let her name come out of your mouth!
-Did you see it coming, Abel?

 

-He's got a gun! He's got a gun!
-Just shut up!

 

Ma'am, can you come with me please?

 

Just take your time. Here we go.

 

Let's get you up in here to see someone.

 

Watch your step.

 

Hey.

 

We're gonna move him to the hospital now.
We've stopped the bleeding.

 

You should let me take a look at you, miss.

 

No, I'm fine.

 

-You sure?
-Yeah.

 

How are you?

 

Three degrees south of...

 

I love you.

 

I know.

 

I love you, too.

 

The rest isn't important.

 

We're gonna have a family.
