He's somewhere to be found.
But what you looking
for Melvin for?
Boy gotta go to court.
He goin' be late.
Trouble again, huh?
He ain't never gonna get his son
back acting like this, man.
He looks like he should stop
doing everything he been doing.
They ain't stoppin' sh*t.
- Let me go find his ass.
- Somebody gon' find him.
- A repeat. A repeat.
- Somebody gon' find him.
I'll catch y'all

You take care of yourself.

I told y'all.
You wanna make a
movie about Melvin?
You gon' to spend half of
your time trying to find
this mother fucker.
You seen Melvin?
No, I ain't seen

Damn!
Hey, if you see him tell

Alright, I got that.
Alright.
Y'all seen Melvin?
I ain't seen that

You ain't seen

Every mother f*cking
time something going on,
this mother fucker

Melvin!
There's the mother
fucker's bike.
And there's the
mother fucker's shoe.
There's the other shoe.
Attached to this
ig'nant mother fucker.
Melvin!
Get your ass up, man!
What the f*ck is
wrong with you?
Acting like your ass
is homeless and sh*t.
- Stole my shoe?
- I found your damn shoe.
Oh, yeah? What's it doing
in your hand then?
What the f*ck is it
doing off your foot?
It's sitting right over there.
You look like sh*t.
f*ck.
I remember the
party and then...
Man, you left about 4 A.M.
Just slipped off
into the darkness.
Did I dream it or
did I get with Caroline?
You better hope you didn't
get with that fat bitch.
She 200 and
She's kinda foxy though.
That fox don't need to eat
for another 3 years.
Now, come on, man.
That's better.
You know you gotta be
in court this morning.
What?
You gotta be in
court this morning.
Why didn't you
say that earlier?
What the f*ck you think I've
been trying to say to you, man?
- Come on, man.
- f*ck.
- sh*t.
- Damn it, Melvin.
Riding around town all god damn
morning looking for your ass.
We gotta go man.
I gotta change.
Yeah, no sh*t?
f*ck.
sh*t, shower, and shave.
sh*t, it smell like a pack
of horses coming at a
mother fucker ass first.
How the f*ck you
end up over here?
I mean, you my brother
and I love you,
but sometimes you do
some silly ass sh*t.
f*cking thing! Come on!
Man, ride.
Complaining about
you f*ckin' up.
The f*ck.
Stupid, Melvin.
f*cking stupid.
Yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. sh*t.
So you had to stay
out all night, huh?
One of these days.
One of these days.
Ha! 1, 2, 3!
Come on!
sh*t.
Man, I can do this
my god damn self.
I'm trying to help you, man.
Do it look like I need
your help, mother fucker?
Well, you are in a
wheelchair, you know?
I ain't no spastic.
I never said you were.
You want my help or not?
One of these days I'm
going to get my a new
chair that don't need no skinny
ass to push it up ramps.
Will you stop your moaning?
One of those carbon fiber mother
f*ckers that do tricks and sh*t.
Come on, buddy.
You know, you look so handsome
when you make the effort.
I don't understand why you
have to dress like a hobo.
Oh, come on, mom.
How do I look, Luc?
Judge will give you 5 years
for wearing that cheap suit.
- Jesus.
- Lucille, leave him alone.
He looks just like he did
on his first day of school.
I was just joking, Miss H.
The judge is going
to dig you, bro.
Alright, you wanna
hear my letter?
Sure.
Why not? Lay it on me.
Okay.
Dear sir, I know I haven't
exactly been the best
father to date, but I'm
here today to tell you
that I can't be a better
father if I'm in prison.
All I want to do is see
my boy again and I'll do
whatever you ask me just to
spend some time with time.
He loves his father
and he needs me.
And if you give me the
chance, I am capable of
being a stable and solid
influence in his life.
Now the charge of
kidnapping sounds very
extreme to me because it's
not in fact what happened.
We just wanted to go
on a holiday together,
me and Rex, is all.
Maybe I didn't
handle it right, sir.
I understand, but my ex is
a real pain in the ass...
Man, you cannot say that
stuff to the judge, man.
Yeah, you gotta let the
judge decide the rest.
Come on, man.
Okay, here are your sandwiches
in case it goes on a while.
Crust off for Lucille,
crust on for you.
Okay, great.
Hey, good luck, bro.
You look like a f*cking
hobo in that suit.
Hey, thanks, sis.
Love you.
Love you, more.
I can do it myself.
No, you can't.
Boy, what you think
about the ride?
Oh, it's dope, man.
Where'd you get it?
Oh, man, borrowed
it from my uncle.
Know you gotta make a good
impression on that judge, right?
A good impression?
What kind of
narcotic you on, son?
- Thanks for doing this, man.
- Anytime!
Hey, Miss H, how we looking?
Like the Village People.
Love you, Ma.
Get out of here
before you're late.
Thank you, Miss H!
Courthouse.
Be careful.
I'm running late.
Come on, let's move.
You got this, Melvin.
You got this.
Alright.
Hey, kick some ass, bro.
Good luck, man.
Hey, man. What happened?
f*cking prick gave me a
community service order.
He banned all contact with
Rex, pending assessment.
Well, at least you didn't
go to jail, right?
Yeah, I wanna see my kid, man.
Get it?
f*ck!
Aw, what other way
could it have gone?
This stupid bitch.
Don't do it, brother.
Thank you.
- No, no, no!
- Mel, Mel!
Feeling good about
yourself, Doreen?
So are you gonna tell Rex that
you banned me from seeing him?
Or are you gonna lie like you
normally do and blame it on me?
The judge banned you, not me.
Yeah, cause you f*cking
instructed him.
Melvin, do not
swear at me, okay?
I'm not intimidated by you.
Those days are past us.
Doreen, please.
Don't do this to me.
You're hurting Rex just as
much as you're hurting me.
I mean, why do you
have to be so cruel?
What did I ever do
to hurt you so bad?
You need reminding.
Please don't do this.
It's done, okay?
The judge has passed it down.
Yeah, well, when Rex is
older, he's gonna hate you
for using him to get at me.
I am not using him.
I just don't want him to
live amongst the wreckage
that is your life.
Look at you!
You have no manners
and no grace.
And I abhor what you've become.
Hey.
Yeah!
Wed!
That mother fucker George Bush,
sent us over to Iraq in '91.
Man, I remember that first push.
We're going through Boswa.
We was tripping.
I get hit by this sn*per.
Mother fucker tagged
me from behind.
Took out my lower spine.
Love you guys.
My wife, she was so
ashamed of having a
husband that the stank
bitch didn't even show up
to Fort Brag when they
sent my ass home.
But Melvin did.
Him and his momma.
Told me I could stay with them
til I got my sh*t together.
One of these days he's gonna
get his sh*t together.
You know what he said?
He said I could stay with him
til I get back on my feet.
What kinda sh*t is that?
Back on my feet.
Right.
Jump!
sh*t!
You alright, man?
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good!
I'm good.
Baby, I'm good.
Lucas is here.
What?
Lukey!
With his spectacles and all.
Yeah, Lukey!
The mother
f*cking science teacher.
Melvin is not like
other people.
Ever since we were kids,
we came to discover he had
um, abilities to move
objects using only the
power of his mind.
Okay, so um...
on first glance, if
you look at both heads,
you don't see
anything different.
Now, let's look at
Melvin's again.
Here, we start to notice
very small anomalies on
the outer sleeve of the brain.
That's about the only thing
that I see that's different.
And I've been...
I've studied this guy
for over a decade.
Everything else about
him reads normal.
I run tests on every other part
of his body and found nothing.
Now, Mel he comes in from time
to time and we check to,
you know, to see if his
blood clean, his brain is
flowing, simple stuff.
We don't publicize.
We don't talk about anything
outside of my laboratory.
Truth is, and he don't
mind me saying this,
and speaking as a professional,
he has so much to offer
the world of science
and there's so much
potential for him.
Wee-ha!
Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
- Hallelujah!
Nice, reverend!
Here on this beautiful
afternoon,
you're about to
experience magic.
Yes, I tell you,
beautiful, magic.
You are gonna watch this
wheelchair levitate in the air.
Oh, yeah!
Levitate!
But to make this trick
successful, I need a dollar.
Yes, I ain't say
I didn't say no
I need a dollar.
Going once.
And you, the
beautiful in the pink.
Thank you so very much.
Anyone else?
You got one more
dollar, brother.
Give me that last one.
This is the one.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Anybody else?
You're gonna watch some magic.
I promise you that.
Criss Angel ain't got
nothing on this trick.
Now, here we go!
Everyone, are you ready?
The best act out
of the West Bank.
My main man, a hundred grand.
Here he is y'all!
That's my boy!
That's my boy!
He's settling in.
It's a part of the meditation.
Let the magic man do
what the magic man do.
Pictures ain't free.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
it is about to go down.
Oh, yes!
What'd I tell you!
Do not try this at home.
I need a dollar.
I need a dollar.
Anybody else?
Come on, come on.
That's what I'm talking about.
Come on! You see,
that's magic.
Give it up for him y'all!
Melvin!
The kitchen furniture
moves you're doing,
please can you put it back?
Yeah, mom, I'm playing
the piano here.
Please put the table and
chairs back where they belong.
You know I don't love
you touching my stuff.
Coming.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
And the lamp.
What is up with you, love?
Hey, Melvin?
My curling iron, it's shorted.
So? Is that my problem?
Um, yeah, actually
it is your problem.
It's you're f*cking fault.
- You, language.
- What are you talking about?
Okay, do you see my hair?
Do you want me to go see
Ryan like this? Really?
No, Ryan or not, you do
not curse in this house.
Okay. Well, you know what?
Thanks a lot, Melvin.
You're a d*ck.
Can't wait to meet, Ryan.
- f*ck off.
- He sounds lovely.
Are you feeling okay?
Sure, mom.
Never better.
I've been living here
about 35 years.
I seen all kinda changes, but
nothing to compare to Katrina.
Mm-mmm.
She just came along and
blew everything away.
We gets all kinda hurricanes
around these parts.
But we ain't never seen
nothing like her before.
Mm-mmm.
Man, the Lord was angry.
People was floating
along the streets.
509 $.!
Families standing on rooftops
crying cause they ain't
gots no home no more.
My old man, he a booze hound,
he been on the ward for years.
And my boy, Deon,
he in the pen.
So me?
I gots no one to help me.
So I sank to my knees and
I asked the Lord to help me.
The Lord come.
Melvin.
Melvin, that's what!
He showed up when the
storm was raging and I was
cowering in my kitchen like a
kicked dog, roof clean gone.
And he led me out to safety.
Storm passed, sun came
out, wind d*ed down.
I come home, my roof is on.
How...
How you gonna explain
sh*t like that?
The brown current ran swiftly
out of the heart of darkness.
And Kurtz's life was
running swiftly, too.
And Kurtz's life was
running swiftly, too.
Genius.
As Conrad got older,
he wrote less.
He eventually
settled in England.
Didn't care much for public
scrutiny or adoration.
Guess he just wanted to be out
in the country by himself.
Like Conrad, mom was a
reclusive writer as well.
Listen to this.
The day broke gray and dull.
God!
I mean, I wish I could come
up with sh*t like that.
Instead, I look out the
window and I think, oh, f*ck!
It's raining.
Here, there's something
else I wanna read you.
f*ck off.
One day, I was like
I guess maybe uh,
it was right before Katrina.
Actually, it was a little
ways before Katrina.
This f*cking family shows up
in the neighborhood, right?
And it's f*cking Mel and
his mom and his f*cking
smoking hot sister.
And this black guy
in a wheelchair,
named f*cking Lucille.
And f*cking Mel, he does
this weird ass trick,
right, where he likes stacks
up these quarters, okay?
And it's like just sitting
there still and all of a
sudden he starts doing
this sh*t and the quarters
start lifting up, right?
And they start separating.
And I was like, looking
at Lyle, we're both like,
what the f*ck, man?
Now, we're just like
f*cking boys, I mean.
Lucille, Mel, Lucas, Lyle,
me, we're like family.
You know what I mean?
How much you got, Lyle?
sh*t, get as much
as you can get.
Think I got enough for that...
- Quarter.
- Quarter?
Alright, man.
See if they'll
roll one up for me.
I don't like rolling
mother fucker.
These n*gg*s ain't got
nothing better to do.
You don't know how to roll.
Yo, what's up, Nate?
You got some weed for me, bro?
You know it.
Hey, holla at my man,
Ramone, right there.
What's going on, bro?
If it ain't
Black-man and Robin.
What's happening?
Sup, cuz?
Cat got your tongue?
We ain't related, n*gga.
And don't be calling your cuz.
We might be related considering
I banged your momma.
Big baller, sh*t caller, huh?
Hey, man, come on. Get
that little crippled
mother fucker up out of
here talking that sh*t.
You got it, dude.
Well, get it the f*ck up
out of here then, dude.
Okay, man.
This C-block, cuz.
Nate, man, I
appreciate it brother.
No doubt.
I hate having to kiss that
mother fucker, Nathan's,
ass just for a couple joints.
Ah, damn, man.
Hey, who got sh*t?
Remember that kid who used
to be dribbling around
with that basketball.
Yeah.
Got wasted off a
cr*ck rock, Luc.
Dealed from that
mother fucker, Nathan.
sh*t, if I wasn't in this
mother f*cking chair,
I'd b*at all the black
off that mother fucker.
He'd be a Caucasian in
about 5 minutes.
I'll tell you that
right now, sh*t.
Feel that?
Yeah.
I can make you come
with my finger.
Imagine what I could
do with my tongue.
Hunny?
f*ck off.
What?
Jesus, you're a train wreck.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
You mind giving the man
in the chair a sh*t?
I am so sorry, honey,
but I have a man.
What rap they get you on, kid?
I'm talking to you.
What'd you do?
Why'd you get
community service?
I set my school on fire.
Smoke weed?
If life gets you down,
it's not a bad thing to try.
Always helped me.
Here.
Sunny, Florida.
Rex is still a baby there.
He won't even
remember that one.
First day at school.
Notice, how the mother
isn't featured.
My old man he split when
uh, when I was just a kid.
I'm not about to let
that happen to Rex.
f*ck you.
Care for a mint?
Give me that mother fucker.
You look a little peaky, Mel.
No, I'm just tired, dude.
Really?
Oh, here we go.
You're trying to
scare me now, huh?
I'm just saying is all.
You look like you
could use rest.
Right, but I'm charting
okay though, right?
It's not what they're saying,
it's what I'm saying.
You know, one day, it
won't hurt if you saw
professional help cause I
really don't have a clue
what I'm looking for.
No doctors, buddy.
You know that.
Yeah, they're people out there
that know a lot more than me.
I'm a science teacher
in a local college.
Doesn't make me any
great authority.
God handing out all the gifts.
I'm stuck in this damn chair.
Yeah, but you got me.
That ain't no damn
consolation prize.
So, we done here or what?
Yeah.
- Sweet.
- Lucas.
Let me get a couple of
those pills you gave me
last time for the pain.
No, Lu.
- Mel.
- Hey, hey.
Hey, you.
Lucas, you got two of
these. Can I have one?
Give a n*gga a lab coat
and he think he a doctor.
He's getting pissed.
- Alright.
- You ain't gonna get your...
Thank you, doc.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Yeah, I'm good, man.
Chill.
A in the middle.
Annihilation.
Mother fucker.
How you know that sh*t?
Oh, just a guess.
What's next?
Alright, 7 down when
the same A in the middle.
Anomaly.
- Anoma, what?
- Anomaly!
It's like a
one-off, like me.
Man, you ain't no one-off.
You a circus freak.
That's funny coming from you.
Yeah, I got put here.
Yeah, you think I chose?
Man, you ain't got
nothing but choices.
All you choose to do is
smoke weed and chase cat.
Whoa!
Jimmy!
What up, Jimmy?
Hey, what it look like?
You get a haircut?
Look at him. Cleaner than
the board of health.
Butch. Sundance.
We ain't doing that, Jimmy.
We just chilling.
Mm-hmm.
Come on, Melvin.
Put it out.
Show a little respect
for Christ's sakes.
It's a joint, man.
- I mean...
- I see that.
Here, man.
Thank you, Lucille.
Not a problem.
You know what kills me?
Smoking?
No.
What kills me is that
you're out here every day
doing the same thing.
Getting high, drinking
beers like there's no
tomorrow with Cool
Runnings over here.
That sh*t ain't funny.
That was funny.
That sh*t ain't funny.
When what you could
be doing is taking
responsibility amongst
your community.
I've seen the things
you can do, Melvin.
It's no secret around here.
You got a gift.
But you're wasting it.
You ever thought
about helping out?
You know?
Hell, maybe create a nicer
environment for your son
to grow up in.
There's something
to think about.
What is this?
Huh?
National pick on
Melvin day, Jimmy?
No, it's national get your
sh*t together day and I
say that because I care.
Tell that mother fucker
again cause son of a bitch
don't listen to me.
And don't be calling
me Cool Runnings.
I'm on it, Jimmy,
alright? I'm on it.
Yeah, on what?
Since Amelia?
I'm gonna work on it, okay?
You got my word. I...
Give me some time, alright?
I'll get my sh*t together.
Oxycodone.
Semi-synthetic, slow
release painkiller first
synthesized by eminent
pharmacologists,
Freund and Speyer,
in Germany in 1916.
I'm a fan.
Now, I'm gonna show you
some crimes scenes.
Third story up, I knew these
guys were robbing the place.
Their car was sitting
here, engine running.
These two knuckleheads jump
down, they jam into their car.
They spot me.
One guy comes at me, cr*ck!
I put him over the head.
Next guy, starts waving
some screwdriver at me.
Relieved him of that.
Put him down.
Done.
All units, we got a 211 in
progress on Atlantic Boulevard.
Get them, Lyle.
Come on, man.
Let's move!
The old Vicodin.
Heavy, opiate narcotic
to treat severe pain.
It's the most widely
prescribed prescription
medication in this country.
Over 140 million prescriptions
of this drug alone.
And I'm proud to say that
I'm not one of those people.
Why?
Because I steal mine.
Wed!
Come on, Lyle!
I chase down the guys the cops
don't have time to deal with.
Junkies, small time criminals.
You gotta be careful.
A desperate man can
be a dangerous man.
These guys?
f*cking amateurs.
f*cking robbed the store for
What is wrong
with these people?
Yeah, they're crooks,
but they have a bit of
initiative they're showing.
And I like that, because
they're not just sitting
around waiting for a
f*cking handout, you know?
That's the problem
with the country.
You gotta bunch of lazy
mother f*ckers sitting on
their fat asses with a
begging bowl in one hand
and McDonald's in the other.
Yeah, they're criminals,
but at least they're trying.
Woo-how.!
Yee-ha!
What?
I was ready to love the
whole f*cking world.
Rawr!
But no one understood me!
Nobody!
So I learned to hate.
You think I'm the one
to set things straight?
Look at me, man.
Wrong.
Ah, f*ck.
No, no, no.
Talented and astute, but lazy.
Likely to understand everything
and even accomplish something.
He had nonetheless been content
to enjoy life as a spectator.
Maupassant, I dig you, man.
I dig you!
Get off!
Oh my god!
Mom, look.
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
What happened?
You okay?
I was out, or what?
Yeah, you were out.
Let me go get somebody.
Hey, man.
Hey, mom.
How you doing?
You're gonna be okay.
What happened?
Ah, let me see.
Melvin was being Melvin.
Melvin can do anything.
Melvin think he can fly.
Melvin think he can drink
a whole liquor store.
Melvin jump off cliff.
Hurt when hit ground.
That's pretty much
what happened, man.
- Hi.
- How you doing?
Hi, how are you feeling?
You just woke up?
Yeah, what is this thing?
This just checks
your heart rate.
You went into cardiac
arrest so we're just
monitoring you right now.
You gonna be his nurse today?
Yes, sir.
Can you be my nurse tomorrow?
Sure.
Alright.
That's what I'm talking about.
I got a little pain down
below and you know,
he's been dead for a while.
I was wondering if you could
bring him back to life,
you know, a little
mouth to mouth
resuscitation would
help me right now.
Stop, don't listen to that.
We apologize for him.
That's okay.
We get that all the time.
I was just having
fun with you, girl.
Just being serious.
Sir, is your full
name Melvin Hesper?
That's me doc, but call me Mel.
We cannot seem to find any
medical records on you.
Any type of history?
I never go to the hospitals.
Never?
Never broke a bone,
a bad flu, anything?
What about medical insurance?
Are you covered?
Why would I be covered if
I don't go to a hospital?
These scars, they look
like g*nsh*t wounds.
What can you tell
me about them?
They're g*nsh*t wounds.
That's very funny.
How did you get them?
A g*n.
Tell me about this one.
Oh, this?
It's nothing.
Just some cap stuck
me a few years back.
You didn't get medical help?
I don't have insurance, doc.
Sir, you just suffered a
serious cardiac arrest.
Your heart stopped b*ating
for several minutes.
You were certified dead.
Look, we're gonna need to
keep you under observation
for at least
Our preliminary tests
produced some particularly
interesting results that
may be personal to you.
Lying there in the hospital,
I realized something.
I got it all wrong.
I've been a total assh*le.
You on some kind of
narcotic, n*gg*r?
No, I'm being serious.
I got a gift here, man.
I gotta start using it.
Use it for the good.
I'm gonna change.
I'm gonna start fighting
crime, not committing it.
I've been saying
that sh*t for years.
Yeah, I know. Well, I wasn't
ready to listen, okay?
But lying there with my
whole life flashing in
front of me, it came to me.
I'm gonna do whatever
it takes for Rex.
No more drinking.
No more weed, pills.
I'm even gonna stop cigarettes.
p*ssy, cheating,
hustling, stealing.
I'm even thinking about
stopping jerking off.
Yeah, I wouldn't go that far.
No...
Maybe that's a bit too much.
Yeah, that's too much. sh*t.
From this day forward, I'm
going straight, brother.
I am.
Well, alright.
I'll tell you what,
I'm with you, Melvin.
Melvin, this is your calling.
What you got is a gift.
It's from the heavens.
So is Rex, brother.
So is Rex.
f*ck.
It's okay.
He got the plan
inside his hand.
Understand that he's the man.
Each and every time
abide the sign.
Press the rewind
in your own mind.
Kick it one more time.
Hey, Mel. Can you bend
his mouth to shut up?
Uh!
See he got the master
plan inside his hand.
Understand that he's
the man, got the plan.
Surprise.
You gotta be kidding me.
Drink it.
It's robiatic.
It's what?
Healthy.
You mean macrobiotic.
Whatever, man.
Just drink the sh*t.
It's good for you.
I can't drink this sh*t man.
I'll start voting Green
Peace and dating guys.
Alright.
It's good.
You know, I read this
book about health.
I put some celery in there.
They said to clean out the
lungs, you know, reduces mucus.
And you'll spit all that
tarred-nicotine from them
cigarettes out.
And then I put some ginger
in there that'll clean out
the blood stream.
Help get all that alcohol
and whatever else you been
putting up your damn nose.
And uh, you gonna piss a lot.
- Just understand that.
- Mm-hmm.
But that's a good thing.
I taste the ginger.
Yeah, it got a
little heat on it.
I put some rhubarb
in there, too.
Rhubarb?
Rhubarb.
- Yeah.
- What the hell is rhubarb?
It clears the mind.
It's a root.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, yeah.
I ain't put no voodoo
or nothing on this.
It's just to clean you out.
Yeah!
One more, one more.
Come on, champ.
I care about you, brother.
I wanna see you get better.
I wanna see you do better.
Thanks, buddy.
We was 14?
We was 12 actually.
Yeah, just about
to turn 13.
We met in uh, California.
I hadn't seen my boy
for some years and
then I come back, and he's
able to do all this stuff
like, you know, make
spoons move across the
table and sh*t like that.
You know.
Black people don't
usually, you know, get
along with that kinda
stuff, you know.
That's why you don't see
a lot of black people at
magician shows, you know.
Cause they think it's like
voodoo and the devil.
Yeah, I remember I called you
and I was like, where's Lucille?
And I asked your mom, and
she said, Melvin, he's gone.
He's in the m*llitary.
I said, what?
What the f*ck?
Slap him.
Slap him.
Two peas and a biscuit.
Two peas and a biscuit.
Hit that mother fucker.
Drop the bitch.
I left dodging b*ll*ts and
ending up dodging more b*ll*ts.
And one of them got me.
You have no idea what's
in that box of yours
do you, mother fucker?
That's what I'm talking about.
Muscle memory.
Like riding a bike.
You don't know what your made
of til you test that heart.
Go on, put it to the test.
What he can do around
these neighborhoods,
around the world, around the
country with that gift,
could fix a whole lot of sh*t.
What the f*ck!
Sorry!
What the hell just happened?
Hey, pipe down.
We're training over
here, mother fucker.
f*ck.
I knew he was
paralyzed, you know.
I mean, he told me that.
And you know, I didn't
quite know how I was gonna
handle it, but my main
thing was I was gonna
treat him as I
always treated him.
As my equal, as my friend,
and as my brother.
f*ck.
Lucille, this is some
heavy sh*t, man.
- It's that green juice, man.
- Ah, it's something else.
That sh*t taste nasty,
but it's doing something.
It's something else, man.
It's something else.
It's running through my blood.
It's a new energy.
I don't know what it is.
It's scary, man.
Don't be scared of it.
Let it flow.
You doing this
sh*t again, ain't you?
See? He can do
anything, man.
Anything-
That's what I'm
talking about, Melvin.
You getting back to yourself.
Look like you did when you
was in your twenties, huh?
That's right.
Stop showing off,
mother fucker.
Are you sure this
is the block, or?
Yeah, man. She come
this way all the time.
Wait til you see her.
Mm!
What?
I'm just looking at you.
Is that a problem?
You looking at me like
you don't believe me.
Of course I believe you.
You said you see her every
day, she's obviously late.
Just give it a
little time, man.
Give it a little time.
Something that fine
need a little time.
It's like wine.
You know, we could just
come back another day, too.
It's no big deal.
Damn.
I really thought I had a
sh*t with this one, man.
You may, Luc.
Come on.
Maybe she's sick.
She's at home. She...
You'll find her.
Eh, man, f*ck it,
man. Come on.
- Let's go.
- Really?
- Yeah, man. f*ck it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Thank you.
Tell you what, Yolanda.
If I could impress you, would

You gonna impress me?
Knock yourself out.
Uh-huh.
How the hell you do that?
Walking is the only
thing I can't do, baby.
You feel me?
It's uh, 717...

Bye.
I just love watching you walk.
Stop.
You look good coming and going.
Thank you.
Mm!

I knew your ass was good for
something, mother fucker.
She is beautiful, Luc.
I wasn't bullshitting, was it?
Hell no.
She's fine.
Man, I'll tell you, I'll wait
out here 15 hours for that.
sh*t, she just looked back.
Don't look.
Don't look.
- Alright.
- Just be cool.
We should just
peel out of here.
Yeah, she's looking
all the way.
Don't look anxious, right?
No, no, no. We gonna
go the opposite way.
We can't be, you know...
Alright, I'm in

I thought we was

You're hanging.
What the f*ck you talking

I've been away 2 years.
You're gonna hang

Man, the brother is getting

No, sh*t.
Yeah, man.
You doing it for your boy?
I am.
Good on you then, brother.
I'm proud of you.
You're a good man, Mel.
Yeah.
I, however, am not
a f*cking good man.
And if I wake
up alive tomorrow,
I'm gonna consider this night
a mother f*cking waste.
Hey, hey, hey.
I probably won't remember

He never remembers sh*t.
Don't take too long, guys.

That's all.

It's f*cking good

You staying out of trouble?
Alright, man.
Stay out of trouble, man.
You know what this is?
I don't know.
You tell me.
It's sober hand.
Okay.
I'm sober.
When I was in the hospital,
I did a lot of thinking.
All the things you were saying.
Lucille's been
telling me for years.
And I'm ready.
I'm ready to do some
good in this community.
Is that why you show up to
crime scenes and relieve
the suspects of
their stolen goods?
Come on, man.
That was then, this is now.
I've been through something.
No f*cking around.
I wanna help you.
Really?
Ready to take on
that responsibility?
Yes.
Tell me what you want me to do.
I always knew you'd
be the one, Melvin.
Your natural abilities,
the sh*t you can do.
I've known you for years.
It's still amazing.
Hey, what's up, b*tches?
That's the sh*t I'm dealing
with every god damn day.
You know that mother
fucker peddles rock and
smack to kids not much
older than your son.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I'm here.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Thanks for believing
in me, buddy.
Be careful with Nathan.
He's a dangerous
mother fucker, man.
Alright.
- You ready?
- Yeah, I got this.
Melvin.
sh*t.
I'm sorry, man.
You are not as ready
as you think you are.
What the hell you doing here?
What you want?
Where's Nathan at?
Man, you know you don't
belong around here
so take your ass home.
Get Nathan down here now.
Say what, now?
So you giving me orders?
Man, get the f*ck out of
here before you get hurt.
I'm not moving.
Maybe this'll help you.
Oh yeah?
Go for it.
Make your move.
Make your f*cking move.
Ooo!
What you got?
You got a piece back there?
Bring it.
Man, how the f*ck you do that?
You tell Nathan
I wanna see him.
Anytime, anywhere.
Bunch of f*cking
pussies, hurting kids.
This is just a small
way of saying welcome
to our home, Ryan.
It's Melvin's favorite cake.
I'm really thrilled that
he has decided to make
certain positive changes.
Come on, mom. Please?
- Well, I am.
- Mom, that is embarrassing.
Stop.
Thank you so much for
welcoming me into your
lovely home, Miss Hesper.
Melvin, would you like
to personally greet Ry?
Oh, love to.
You hurt my sister, I'm gonna
break your f*cking jaw.
Melvin, language.
Oh my god!
Eh, I'm just
kidding you, buddy.
Sorry, Ryan, let me just
apologize for my mentally
handicapped brother
who's a total d*ck.
Ryan.
How hungry are you feeling?
It certainly looks delicious.
I'll take a healthy size piece.
Thank you very much.
Well, you do have
lovely manners.
I appreciate a young man
who knows how to say
please and thank you.
And where's your
delightful accent from?
I'm originally from
Oklahoma, Miss Hesper.
Well, please call me Eileen.
- I insist.
- Stop it.
No, me and the kids father,
we went up to Oklahoma once.
- It was...
- What the hell is going on?
- Seriously, can you stop?
- Melvin.
And we were in this
like yellow Cadillac.
And it was just so much fun.
What the f*ck!
Ryan, language please.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Melvin.
- Stop showing off.
- I have to go.
Wow, great.
Thank you.
Thanks, Melvin.
I swear to god, you
are such a penis!
What?
I thought that
went rather well.
I liked him.
She liked him.
I'm playing around, mom.
Jesus.
One evening where we could
just sit as a family and have
a nice little piece of cake.
Oh, come on.
I'm just...
f*ck.
Hey, man. Where the f*ck
are you going now?
It's Lucille.
What is he?
I don't know.
I have no way of explaining it.
- Where's 167?
- Right there.
Look, Mel, man,
you need to leave.
You can't be around us, man.
- How is he?
- How is he?
Nathan walked up and
stuck a b*llet in him
cause of something
you did, man.
Just walked up and sh*t
the cat outside my place.
I'm sorry, Luc.
I am so sorry, bro.
Hey, Mel, listen man.
If you're really sorry, the best
thing you can do is leave, bro.
Yeah, just get the f*ck it.
f*ck you, Lyle.
This is between me and Lucille.
Yeah, but it's not between
you and Lucille anymore, bro.
It's between all of us.
You're the one who brought
us into this thing.
You need to walk away.
He's right.
I mean, you started a
w*r we can't fight, bro.
Hey.
Hey!
Promise me.
Mel, look what you got us into.
Luc, talk to me.
Let me take of you, brother.
Get the f*ck out, Melvin.
Alright.
You gotta be
f*cking kidding me.
Melvin.
Hey, Jimmy-
I thought you were
giving up the drink.
Some things change, I guess.
You want a drink?
No.
Gotta get going.
Just wanted to say hello.
Alright, Jimmy.
Take her easy.
Lucille.
Lucille!
What the f*ck you want?
I'm sorry.
Man, keep your damn voice down.
I'm sorry.
You're drunk ain't
you, mother fucker?
God damn, Melvin.
I'm not talking to your
ass while you're drunk.
Just let me inside.
Man, get the hell away
from my house, man.
I'm tired of seeing
you like this, bro.
I love you, man.
Yo!
Hey.
What's up, Mel?
You look like sh*t.
What's going on?
Just wanna hang, man.
Who is it?
It's Melvin.
What does he want?
I don't want that mother fucker,
Nathan, showing up here.
Anybody follow you here?
Yeah, these babies.
How's he look, man?
He's wasted.
Really? Did he
bring any friends?
Brought a whole f*cking
bag full of 'em.
You wanna party, Mel?
Get your ass up here, man.
What a f*cking privilege.
f*cking A. We got our
old Melvin back.
Let's call someone.
Hey, man, we'll
call lots of people.
Oh, sh*t.
I'm happy to see you, man.
I'm happy to see
you, too, brother.
Did they f*ck
with you in there?
A little bit, man.
Sexually, no?
f*ck you, man.
I don't know...
If it wasn't for Lucille, maybe
you'd be one of my best friends.
f*ck being sober!
To being f*cking back.
When are the
b*tches showing up?
- f*ck all this bullshit.
- Danny, where you going?
I'm putting music on.
I gotta pee.
She was fat.
No way. She wasn't fat.
Just cause a chick got big
hips and a big ass doesn't
make her fat.
Now, if she got fat
hips and a fat ass...
No, did you see the size
of those f*cking tits?
Those are motor boating tits.
Those are good tits.
Good tits for you.
You should did her, man.
It's the reason why
we're running late now.
f*cking liquor store's probably
not even open thanks to you.
Yo, Mel.
Is that you, mother fucker?
Kiss my ass, Melvin.
f*ck you, man!
I ain't no bitch!
- Holy sh*t.
- Aye, yo! Let's go!
Are you hit, man?
- No.
- You alright?
Guys, we gotta get
the f*ck out of here?
Just take me to Lucas's.
Dude, what's wrong, bro?
It's my heart.
Just get me there.
f*ck.
Mel. Mel, this is...
This is crazy.
I don't have a clue
what I'm looking for.
You really need to
see a specialist.
I'll be alright.
I just need to rest.
But you're not alright.
The more you're using your
abilities, the more it's
hurting you.
Oh, yeah?
Thought you said you
weren't a specialist?
Mel, look, I...
I wanna help, but I'm not
comfortable with this.
Son of a bitch.
You son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
You are dumb playing
this game, mother fucker.
Yeah, man.
How's the arm?
I've had worse.
It's good to see you.
Likewise, man.
I worry about you.
Come here, ma.
Everything's gonna be alright.
Impressed?
So?
Brother, you the only
mother fucker I know
that'll turn a Porsche
into a Nissan and still
feel good about himself.
Hey, Jimmy-
Hey.
How's Lucille holding up?
He's good.
He's doing better.
That's good.
Listen, um...
Just wanted you to know
it's gonna get noisy at
C-block later.
You need me?
When you get the
call, ignore it.
I got this.
Thanks, Jim.
Chopin, Vagner,
Beethoven, Mozart.
You know what they
all have in common?
They're Europeans, man.
I mean, those oats had so
much history and culture
to draw from when they wrote.
That's why their concertos are
still amazing to this day.
I mean, listen to that.
The changes, the notes,
the way it prociendos.
It's perfect.
I f*cking love it.
We're here.
It's hot as a mother
fucker out here today.
Alright, man.
Let's go.
Oh, sh*t.
What the f*ck?
Man, what the f*ck, man?

sh*t's coming out.
Take it and put

Can't have the
feds see this, man.

I love seeing you run.
Here I come!
I heard something happened
to that mother fucker Nathan.
I think he got the message.
I got somewhere
I wanna take you.
Where is that?
You gotta know everything.
Man, I'm playing

A what?
A salad.
Getting tossed all
over the damn place.
Gotta do something
about these roads.
I gotta get me a new
set of legs that work.
Yeah, or a new
chair that works.
Ain't nobody gonna buy me
a new chair, my brother.
I'm stuck in this old b*at up
raggedy mother fucker for life.
You ready?

For me?
Yeah, it's for you.

Get that sh*t out of the way.
Yeah, let me get rid of this.
Give it a test drive.
Woo, baby!
Look at this thing!
Uh!
Oh, hell yeah!
You like those wheels?
I love these wheels, man.
We can go off-reading

You already know.

Coppin' those pills

Even though my
legs I can't feel.
Hi, Doreen.

Melvin.
You're breaking the law by
being within one hundred
yards of me.
I know.
I just need a...
just need a minute.
Melvin, you got

Call the cops.
I got nothing to lose anymore.
I'm lonely.
Hm, that's what happens when
you screw your marriage up.
I just wanna see Rex.
Wanna walk home from
school and see his face.
Smell him.
I just want him to know
that I'm here in case
something really
does happen to me.
How do you sit here and
pretend to care when you're
the one who stopped helping
with his child support?
I never stopped.
I put money in the bank.
Come on, Mel.
Please let's not
play me for the fool.
Doreen.
I got 4,000 dollars in Rex's name
right here and
there's more coming.
I just wanna see my boy.
