A Good Thing

Take that off. You look ridiculous.

Somebody took my money.

It's good to see you, too.

I had two of these in my apartment.

One with clothes, one with money.

I went back tonight and the money's gone.

I think Kevin took it.

Where you been?

What?

Where have you been?

I've been where you've been, right?

Wherever should have been for the last week.

Hiding.

Hiding?

Yeah, hiding.

Remember Dave?

The guard?

Yeah, Kev's plan did have some holes.

Some?

And that bastard stole my money.

What money are you talking about?

My “the police are looking for me, I need to get the fuck out of here” money.

Oh, you mean “the police are looking for us,

we got to get the fuck out of here money”, right?

Yeah, whatever.

We need to go to talk to him. Now.

So, let me get this straight.

Kevin gives us bad information on a job.

Dave... well, you know.

Your priority is to find Kevin and talk to him about your missing money?

We need to talk to him anyway, right?

We can't talk to him.

You don't know where he is?

You check with that girl he's always with?

What's her name...

We can't talk to him... because I already did.

Jesus.

When?

How?

Bill?

Like I said, we already talked.

You were careful right?

You got rid of the body?

Sure did.

No finger prints, I.D., no cameras.

We have to be careful.

We?

We weren't around, remember?

We were hiding.

This Wild Bill shit is gonna get us caught.

Me and you have a script.

You think it up, I make it happen.

When you don't do your part, I have to improvise.

You've been texting me all day to meet you here.

What is it?

The job did go to shit,

but we got what they needed.

They paid us?

Yeah, it's in the car.

Good. Let's go get it and split it up so I can get the hell out of here.

Get the hell out of here and go where?

I just need that money.

What?

You remember that lady who served food at Riverdale.

The one you were crazy about?

Ms. Jackie?

Ms. Jackie?

Yeah. Ms. Jackie. I saw her.

You did?

How was she doing?

Good I guess.

How did she look?

Like shit.

Riverdale House.

Man, I hated it that place.

Hey, man, you had some good things happen there.

You had some bad things happen there.

We met there remember?

Which category would that fall under?

Fuck you.

You came there after your mom died.

None of your family would take you in.

Yeah, so they shipped me off.

Right to the foster care home.

That wasn't a home, that was gladiator camp.

Hey, you remember Big Tony?

Do I remember Big Tony? Motherfucker, do you remember Big Tony?

He kicked your ass, daily.

You told me to fight him in the cafeteria.

You said you would help me. Yeah, and you didn't want to.

Hell no, he was huge.

But, you did it.

And that beating we gave him sent a message to everybody.

Yeah, it did.

Who would have ever imagine it would be us here?

What happened?

Pulling off the big jobs.

We are never going back to the bottom.

Where did you get that?

I grabbed this out of my apartment.

I don't know the last time I wore it. I found it in the pocket.

Whatever, man. Toss that shit.

You wanna know something?

You plan on killing me?

What?

You remember Mo from Crown Heights?

Yeah.

Well, whenever someone would say you wanna know something,

he would say the person hearing it probably wouldn't live long enough to repeat it.

You want to know something or not?

Alright, lemme hear it.

I can't remember what my mother looked like.

She's just a blur.

Yeah It's been a while, I guess.

I read this book that said your mind will do that sometimes,

you know, block stuff out.

Why would it block out your mother?

We used to go to this park.

I remember it had all these yellow flowers, and butterflies were everywhere.

One time, we saw this butterfly come out of its shell, or cocoon...

Yeah, whatever you call it.

She said, we were witnessing a miracle.

Sounds magical.

She said the caterpillar did a good thing becoming what it was supposed to be.

She said, God gave it wings as a reward.

That is total bullshit.

I only had one picture of me and my mom, but I lost it a while back.

Look, man, I don't want to sound.

What's the word?

Insensitive, but who gives a fuck?

What?

Who gives a fuck?

And fuck that. Fuck them, too.

Fuck who?

Fuck them. All of them.

Everybody in our past.

Anyone in the way of our future.

Fuck them.

We've been taking care of each other since we was twelve years old.

They left us. They're not here.

Who gives a fuck? Why are you even thinking about them?

My mom didn't leave me, she died.

What's the difference? She ain't here, right?

You need to get focused, man.

Focused?

Focused on what?

On this, motherfucker, this.

We are winning.

That's what this is?

This is winning?

Dave is dead, and you shot a security guard who just happened to be a cop.

How was I supposed to know that, he wasn't in uniform.

Oh yeah, let's not forget,

you didn't even have a motherfucking mask on when you did it.

We are winning.

You done?

I don't know about you, but I'm over all this winning that we're doing.

This is a speed bump. An ant hill.

Kevin's been handled...

Do you hear yourself? Loud and fucking clear.

Do you hear yourself?

Dave...

Here we fucking go, man. Dave knew the risks. We all did.

Dave died right in front of me.

And after all he did, what did he have?

No property, no kids, no nothing.

He didn't even have a girlfriend he could trust with his gym locker combination.

Dave had us.

Not going out like that, man.

What, you got another option I don't know about or something?

You got like a master's degree or high school diploma maybe?

Because as far as I know, this is it. This is what we do.

Been doing no one better.

I just need my money, Bill.

See, this has been your whole problem since we were friends, man.

You always thinking about yourself.

Who else am I supposed to look out for?

Go get your money, man.

You should get out of here, too.

I need to get. Not here to you.

I'll be around.

I'm just, you know, laying low.

I would lay low too, but I have a small problem to fix.

As long as it's not my problem.

Well...

A girl was in the office Saturday night.

Nobody was there but us.

She was hiding.

Did she see us?

Maybe, maybe not.

After the guard was shot...

After the cop was shot, she ran out one of the side exits.

What exit. Kevin said all the doors were locked.

She must have used something to break through the glass.

She ran down the street camera.

From what I hear the cops are already looking for her.

I had my mask on, right?

At some point you did.

At some point you didn't.

But hey, if she didn't go to the cops by now, she probably won't, right?
