Are you...

are you the one that's been filming me?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I've been watching you a good long while.

But then you went and robbed me of my windows, so...

What do you want from me?

I want you to answer the door, Phil.

I'm Malcolm Barnes, I'm 15 years old

and I'm SCK.

And what is that? What is SCK?

Stone cold killer.

Are you a killer, Malcom?

C'mon now.

I'm just asking the obvious question.

Pfft. And I'm just giving you an obvious answer,

even if I did kill somebody.

I haven't.

Yet.

Yet?

Even if I did kill somebody,

you think I'm dumb enough to say it on tape?

You don't seem to have a problem

publicly confessing a gang affiliation.

It's not a gang, it's a brotherhood.

Can't get convicted of being in a brotherhood.

Plus, this gonna put SCK on the map!

You'll make me famous, right?

- -

It's not a gang, it's a brotherhood.

Can't get convicted of being in a brotherhood.

Plus, this gonna put SCK on the map!

You'll make me famous, right?

Yeah, I'm gonna try.

-I'm gonna try. -

But back to the original question.

Are you capable of killing?

- - Hello?

Hello?

Jesus, again with this?

You getting off over there?

Huh?

Maybe I should start charging for this.

Get a 900 number.

Huh?

Hello?

- -

Here you are!

Have you been in here all night?

I couldn't sleep.

Um, okay.

So, making the thing and watching it 306 times

in a year and a half wasn't enough?

This isn't about that fucking blog, is it?

-It's one blog. -

By a man who hates that he doesn't have your career.

It's not the first time

that I have been accused of exploitation.

And it won't be the last.

What the fuck does it matter?

The Academy doesn't think you're exploitative.

Sundance doesn't think you're exploitative.

You do good work, Phil.

You're a good man.

Don't let anybody else convince you otherwise.

Now stop this...

and get to work.

You don't wanna be late for your first day on set.

Speaking of late, I better get moving myself.

How can you be late? You own the joint.

Alright.

Just remember,

the guy's an asshole who has shitty grammar.

I mean, fuck, even I know a comma

comes before a conjunction,

and English is my second language.

Yeah, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.

But back to the original question.

Are you capable of killing?

Guess we'll find out.

Is this the year of protests around the globe?

France to Chile to Algeria to Ecuador...

more than 40,000 protestors...

At least two people in Asia that have been killed in the clashes.

Hong Kong doesn't currently have extradition agreements

with either territory.

Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement

can be traced to the 1980s

when more than 1,000 protestors demanded direct elections...

But by 1991,

they had secured 18 directly elected seats

in the legislature. That was only the beginning.

Now, they take to the streets again,

fighting for their rights.

- What I say? - Kwame, please calm down.

Bitch, don't tell me to calm down!

I calm down when you tell me what the fuck I said!

What the fuck did I say?

What the fuck did I say?

Don't think 'cause there's cameras around that

you got some kind of authority!

-What's going on? -The only thing these cameras is good for...

-You already know. - ...is the ass whooping you're about to get.

You really think Peter-fucking-con was gonna let a little humanity

get between him and a narrative gold mine?

I'll let you run up here and flip the fucking script!

- Kwame... - I run this show!

Huh? Me!

You hear me? I'm running the show here!

Me! All right?

I set the rules. You don't come up here

and try to break the biggest fucking one! Are you fucking kidding me

-right now? -Getting this?

-You know it. -What's wrong with you? Go ahead! Tell me what I said!

-Day one. - The fuck I told you?

Speak up, nigga! Don't tell me to calm the fuck--

- Hey! -Oh! Shit!

You lucky it was you, because I was about to lay your ass out.

What's the problem?

Your boy over here got memory problems.

I was about to bust him in his head!

Go ahead, help him with that.

What did he forget?

I told y'all from the jump

y'all can't be fucking with my mom's.

Period!

I was real clear about that shit, Phil.

Yes, you were. Yeah, you were.

And I'm sure it'll stick this time.

Won't it, Pete?

Why don't you go check out the sites for a minute?

Fuck!

I'm sorry, dude.

This is a real fucked up way to start this whole thing out.

Yeah. True talk.

But Kwame, this is our job.

Right now, our lives are dedicated

to telling your story.

And that,

what's happening to her right now,

it's happening to you too, man.

It's an important part of your story.

Maybe the most important part.

So, really, can't blame the guy for just, you know...

just trying to do his job the best way he knows how.

He meant no disrespect.

Get what I'm saying?

Yeah. I get you.

Y'all still ain't coming near my mom's, though.

If I gotta tell your boy one more time,

I'm a fuck him all the way up.

All right, let's go.

So! This right here,

this the den of iniquity right here.

Know what I'm saying? Uh...

Anyway, you know,

this where me and my boys would be chilling,

watching the game, entertaining the ladies.

This monster right here,

I got this for my mom's 45th birthday.

But, you know,

she actually doesn't come out here that much anymore, so...

Oh, well.

Gonna have to get her one to put in her room for her 50th.

Or Christmas, actually.

Um...

Y'all wanna meet my boys? You wanna do that?

Can we meet my boys? They're right outside.

We could do that. They been dying to meet y'all.

-Yeah. Yeah, yeah. - Can we do...?

-Cool! Let's do that. -Yeah.

Yo! So these niggas right here,

closest thing I got to fucking brothers right here.

You know what I'm saying? We fight like brothers too, man.

Hold up buddy, hold up! I didn't stretch this morning.

Why you acting brawly 'cause the camera's on, bro?

Why you acting brawly 'cause the camera's on?

Nah, I love these niggas, man, know what I'm saying?

But they can't see me on the court...

Yo! Yo, yo, yo! Yo, Malcolm, nigga!

This ain't right, brother.

You just gonna let them try and beat me down like this, man?

- - Hey, yo, get off me.

We can go to the court right now.

You wanna see us ball?

Phil?

Phil? You wanna see us ball?

Depends. We betting on who's winning?

I mean, if we're betting on me.

Damn, nice car, brother.

Yo, that's some meme parking right there, brother.

-You like that? - Yeah!
