DMZ

Ok, she's showing you her broad side.

Heart's just behind the nearest shoulder.

That's the cleanest kill shot possible,

but you're aiming too far left.

Aim right.

That's it. A little bit farther. Steady.

A little more.

There.

Ok. Deep breath.

Brace for the recoil.

And...

Squeeze.

Damn good.

Look at us.

Three years ago, we started with 4 blocks,

and we'd shoot on sight to guard it.

Now we got opened up roads,

crew affiliations,

free trade.

That started with you.

Ha ha! Oh, my--

you trying to get me going here, huh?

Huh?

It's working.

¿Tú no te cansas?

Hmm?

I'm trying to tell you I'm proud of you, fool.

I'm gonna make breakfast.

Queen dope on radio: Today is the day, friends.

The dmz's first-ever debate: Parco and Wilson,

the two icons, the two egos, and the two men

who have been beating their chests to convince us

they deserve our vote.

And that's big, folks--

big for you, big for me,

and big for all the cozy-ass white boys chewing their nails

on the outside.

So show up to city hall tonight.

Listen and make your choice.

And now a little something to bounce to.

Pancakes? How?

Farm co-op gave me a sack of flour,

some butter and eggs,

early congratulations for today.

Careful. I might get used to this.

Bring that coffee, girl.

You got to sweeten that up just a little bit.

Yeah, but you added

a little bit too much sugar to it.

Come on, now.

Don't front like you ain't enjoying it.

I know you loving it.

What do you think of that?

Little nene?

Well, the kid with the bat needs to choke up on the grip,

and that pitcher needs to lose his sidearm.

Ha ha.

You know what I mean.

Come on, baby. Not now.

Why you got a stupid grin on your face?

I'm just enjoying the sun is all.

I'm just thinking about my pops.

- About what? - Nah, nothing.

Just how when he came here with a pocket full of coins,

set us up in a tiny, little shithole on 124th.

He'd say, "in all of the world,

the sun shines a little brighter here."

That's a nice thought.

It's bullshit.

That man had to climb just a little bit higher than most

to really see it.

He'd be proud of you.

Nah.

He'd be loaded.

Parco!

Oh, fuck.

After 8 years and a civil war, what do you want,

to borrow some sugar?

How did you find me?

How many times did I have to listen to you go on

about how you were gonna own this block?

Wasn't hard. You gonna let me in?

I'm making a scene out here.

Ain't gonna be much better in here.

Why?

'Cause I'm not gonna let you in, bitch.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Hi, Carmen.

Who the fuck do you think you are,

showing up to this home, to my home?

Look, I don't want to bother you.

Bitch, you are bothering me,

so turn your ass around and leave.

8 years and a civil war later,

and this one's still all bark.

Bitch, I am right here. Say it to my face.

You know, you always wanted to be like me.

Looks like you're still trying.

But this is impressive. Yeah. I like the decor.

Wow. After the shit you pulled,

you want to come here and insult me, too?

The grownups are talking.

Listen, I just need some information,

and I'm more than happy to leave.

- What do you want to know? - I don't want to interrupt

your daily routine-- oh.

Oh, shit.

Stop!

You think you could rat parco out and come back here?

You know, they arrested him right before evacuation day.

He could've starved in holding. Cops all ran--

and you didn't think to save him?

No! They arrested me, too, you dumb bitch.

Hey, yo, yo, yo. Hey. Hey, yo, yo. Hey, hey, hey. Ok.

- I'm gonna kill that rat. - Ok, I know you are.

Hey, I got this. I got this, all right?

What do you want, woman?

I need to see Christian.

Tell me where he is, and I'll leave.

For one, he don't go by that name no more.

And he likes his privacy.

Unlike you, I respect that.

Oona isn't coming through for you.

Long time, Cesar.

What do you mean, "oona isn't coming through"?

Same thing, man. Couldn't get in.

They wouldn't talk to me.

Bitch out front almost shot me this time.

No, we need oona.

We get her buy-in tonight at the debate, it's game over.

What, you think Wilson got to her?

No. She's an island.

And this one?

Nah, she was just leaving.

- Tell me where he is. - Bye.

Where is he? Fuck you.

1-6 that you won't make it.

All right.

- Your name? - Fuck you.

Bodhi kang. Spell it.

- B-o-d-h-i. - K-a-n-g?

- Yeah. - And your name?

- Richard ho. - Much easier.

We come into this world naked and alone, right?

And we leave it naked and alone.

You got to get you and yours squared up.

To hell with all y'all.

You see, in the end...

It's just you and god.

That's it.

It's just you and god.

That's it.

The preacher ain't wrong.

You're looking for home,

but home takes time.

Making peace with yourself.

That's the first step to finding your place,

and that takes real courage, odi.

Yo! Why you listening to that fucking idiot, man?

Dude's nuts.

Come on.

Come on. Got something to show you.

...it's just you and god.

I don't get it.

What does this have to do with my problem?

Tell me about the book.

A man is sent to Cuba to be a spy for the British.

He lies about everything to everyone

to get promoted, to make more money.

Everyone believes his lies anyway.

And real consequences play out. And?

And people start dying,

but he doubles down on his lies, and the way others react

make his lies come true.

What does that tell you about truth?

That it's irrelevant.

Now your gold is disappearing,

and only 3 people know where it's hidden,

and one of them is a rat.

How to know which one?

It doesn't matter.

I can just choose.

Either I'll be right or I'll be wrong,

in which case either the truth will be whatever I say it is,

or it'll emerge on its own.

Is that what you're telling me?

I left a new book on your desk,

another tale about a fantastic liar.

What would I do without you, susie?

And I take no credit. I simply share my books with you.

Ho.

Even a king kneels to the future.

Go.

We leave for city hall in 5 hours.

I want everyone there. We go as--

You stayed.

I did.

Come here.

They adore you.

Well, I work hard for it.
