But I thought you were getting out in September.

Did you do it yourself?
Why don't you stick some more of that chewy shit in your mouth
and shut the fuck up already?
Tattoos are stupid, man.

PACO: Where are you going?
To skate around with Ashley.
She's leaving tomorrow for the summer.
No, it's too late. You're staying in. You can see her tomorrow.
But she's leaving.
I don't wantto hear about it.
Since when do 13-year-oldgirls go roller skating
around New York cityat night?I'm 14, daddy.
Same difference. You are not going out.
You treat me like I'm a little kid.
That's becauseyou are a little kid.
When you grow up enoughto make your own decisions,
when you pay your own way.
Till then I make the decisions. I make the rules.
Here comes another present.
That's from grandma.
I hope you like it.
It's very special.
I was cleaning some stuff out,
and I found that in storage.
It was your grandpa's. They used to hang it here in the bar.
Thank you, grandma.
[Thunder]
So, where'd you learn all those songs?
Ripped 'em off the highway.
I used to be a truck driver.Drive coast to coast,border to border.
18 wheelers.
That's cool. Ever been around New Mexico?
Shit, yes.
Tell you a story. One night I got kicked out of a corvette
by a really hot rich girl.
Middle of nowhere.
Wander into the desert,
onto a reservation. I went up to a trading post.
I go, "where the fuck am I?"
And they go, "that's where you are."
This place is called "where the fuck am I?"
Took care of me.
They did.
When you get out there,
you listen.

Do you know what you wanna be?
Like, are you gonna be like a farmer or something?
Naw.
I just want to goto New Mexico.
I guess I could be a farmer, but I don't know.
I used to want to be a cop,

It's all brown and clear.
And the air...
It don't smell like this shit.
How do you know?
I was born there.
When did you move here?
When I was 5.Ha.
Yeah.
You remember what it smelt like from when you were 5?
No, but...
I've seen pictures.
You can't smell pictures, Marcus.
I know, but...
It don't smell like this shit.
[Uses Inhaler]
In New Mexico, I won't be needing this.
Gonna go there, see where I was born,
check out the scene, see where my parents lived.
My parents?
Naw.
Going by myself.
Wow. You must have really cool parents.
My mom's in prison and my dad's dead.
But they were good people.
They used their ranch to
Help mexicans into the country and shit.
You know, they'd give them shelter,
give them clothing, feed them.
My dad died in a car accident when I was 5.
He just...
Fell asleep at the wheel one night.
And my mom, she got caught smuggling people into the country,
so she got 10 years.
Jeez.
When my mom gets out,
we'll be goingfor good.
You should come along.
My dad would kill me first.
I could never get up enough money to buy a ticket anyway.
We'll find a way.
I mean...
You gotta get outof the city sometime.
I like the city sometimes.
Yeah, I do, too, sometimes.
Just...
Not enough to live heremy whole life.
My mom used to say
that if you lived in the city for 7 years straight,
you're technically insane.
Yeah. You see?
I'm totally nuts!
Me, too.
Hey...
If I make this rock in that can, can I kiss you?
What, you don'tthink I can do it?
Ok.

Justin and Shane bet him a bag of weed he wouldn't do it.
Shut up, Chubs. Damn.
You do that yourself?
Yeah, he did.
Yo, you should go and get that checked out, man.
It doesn't look too proper.
It's fucking awesome, man, awesome.
Yo, and I scored a bag of the kind shit.
Yo, let's bounce.All right, man. Peace.
Peace, kid.
Uhh!
Where are they going?

[Foghorn Sounds]
Looks like we're losing juice.
Louis, kid, what's up with that new battery?
Oh, word, yo, I was thinkingabout that, but, um...
But what?
I think we should lift more than just the battery.
MARCUS: What are yougetting at, man?
He means he wants to lift the whole fucking car.
All right, get this, yo.
My uncle is, like,house-sitting for this guy
who lives in our building, right?
So he has to move the car for street sweepers and stuff every day.
I have total access to the keys, man.
Shut the fuck up, man.
We ain't stealing no car.
What are we gonna do with it?
I think I gotta go home.
Go piss in the bushes, Chubs.
I'll try,but it never works.
LOUIS: Do you know how much money we can get for a car, man?
MARCUS: You knowhow much trouble we canget in if we get caught?
Oh. Oh.

Then go steal a car yourselves.
Don't bring her back here, though.
Oh, come on, Marcus.We don't know how to drive.
And you're the only one who knows how to drive.
Yeah, and I ain't stealin'no fuckin' car.

Why, 'cause I don't want to get arrested?
What, you don't want to go live with your mama again?
Funny, Chip, funny.

Thanks, man.All right.
You were afraid tosteal that in front of me,weren't you?
I was not.
That's what it looked like.
What are you talking about?
Wasn't going to steal anything.
Then I dare you to buy it.
You're daring me to buy the jacket?
Yeah.
I'm daring you to actually pay for that jacket.
Word?Yeah.
Ha ha ha.
So, what's up? You wanna grab a slice?
When I was little,I wanted to be an astronaut,
but I don't really want to be that now.
Uh...
I still dream about what it would be like on the moon, though.
Ever think about that. Like...
What it would be like on the moon?
Pretty cold.
Yeah, but...
The earth must look real cool, you know?
Like, you don't see any of the bad stuff. You just see...
The clouds and the sky...
The land and the water and shit.
What about you? A thief?
No.
That ain't me, man.
I don't know.
I just want to have some space, man.
I don't know what I want to do with it.
I guess grow something or make something.
All I know is I just want space.
Yeah...
Space is cool.
All right.
Space is cool.
I couldn't find no fat laces, though.
Oh, it's all right.

Marcus Frederick.
Come on, Marcus. Have a seat.
Sit up straight. I told you. Come on.
Officer Kramer here tells me you've been pushing hot merchandise
at the elementary schools.
This true?
Yeah. I might have solda thing or two.
Not like killing people or selling drugs.
Oh. It's okay, then.
I feel really good about that.
Let's see here.
"Black converse low top, size 8...
"With fat laces...
Am/fm wrist radio."
"Hootie and the blowfish?"
Marcus, this notebook has your ass
in a lot more trouble than you think.
It proves intent to steal before entering.
You understand that?
Commercial burglary, Marcus.
It's a felony.
Check this out.
I got your file right here.
It says last year, you're pushing candy,
and all of a sudden, you got walkmans,
you got headphones, you got shoes,
and what's next, man?
You got cars? You got guns for me?
You got drugs? Is that it?
No, nothing.
I'm getting out of here.
Yeah? I tell you, running away won't solve anything.
You understand?
We don't want you to end up like your mother.
Come on, Hank, man.
My mom was doing a good thing.
She don't even belong in prison.
Since when is murder a good thing?
What's he talking about, murder?
My mom's no murderer.
She was caught smugglingimmigrants into the country.
He doesn't know.
Know what?
Who told you this?
She did. She...
Well, what are you talking about?
Your mother was convicted of murder, Marcus.
No, this can't be right. What is this?
That's the truth.
We thought you knew.
Look, Marcus, I'm gonna call your grandmother.
What are you gonna--
No, she's just gonna pick you up.
LUCY: So...
What do you have to say for yourself?
You haven't said a word.
Did my mom kill somebody?
Ha. She did.
Who told you that?
It's true, isn't it?
Marcus, she was gonna tell you. She was...
But she didn't know how.
She wanted to be honest with you,
but she was afraid you'd hate her,
but I swear to you, Marcus...
She was gonna tell you.
Who'd she kill?
Hey.
You all right?
You don't look so hot. What's up?
I met a girl.
You did?What's her name?
Her name's Melena.
Melena.
That's a nice name.
Yeah, she's nice.
We were thinking about going on a trip together.
Where you gonna go?
New Mexico.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you can come meet us when you get out, right?
It's only one more year, right, mom?
What are you talking about?
I know why you're in here.
Cops told me all about it.
I was gonna tell you.
When? When were you gonna tell me, mom?
When I was, like, 20?
25? 30? 60? I mean...
How long can you let me keep such a great story in my head?
I was gonna tell you, Marcus.
So tell me now, mom.
I want to hear it from you.
He hurt me, Marcus.He hurt me...
So bad.
But nobody believed me.
I--I tried very hard to make it work,
but he beat me, Marcus,
and he beat you beforeyou could even walk.
I wanted you to grow up
with a good father in your heart.
I just didn't knowwhat good it would do
for youto know the truth.
I don't wanna live in a lie, mom.
I know you don't,honey.
So when are you getting out?
You're not getting out next year, are you?
No. I'm not up for parole for another 4 years.
But then, Marcus,I promise you,we're gonna go to New Mexico.
Ok? I promise.
Oh, shit, Mack.You scared me.
Hey, Marcus.
What happened?
I didn't do nothing.
These guys over in Jersey was trying to hurt Lucy,
there was a gun...
Maybe it was my gun.
Maybe it was...
Bullshit!
Why didn't you just tell them?
Marcus, this is the United States of America.
Everybody's born with a gun.
Your job is to learn how to shoot it...
Who to shoot it at...
When not to shoot it.
There's 187 ways out of this city.
Don't worry about it.
Here.

This is your dream.
Your dream.
The ranch ain'twhat I thought it was.

Go to your reservationand visit your friends.
That way, you couldstay low and be safe.
[Coughing]
[Inhales]

You don't smoke.
Yeah, I do now.
Come on, chill.
What's going on with you?

I thought we were gonna go get your suitcase.
Yeah, well, there'sno need for that now.
Why? What happened?

You know, my dad didn'treally die in a car crash.
What do you mean?
I mean my mom killed him.
She shot him.
But he was an asshole.He beat her up.
Yeah, that's why my mom left my dad.
Your dad hit your mom?
Yeah. He drove her crazy.
