1. In 1985, crime was
on the rise everywhere,
Copy !req
2. and when I say "everywhere,"
I mean everywhere.
Copy !req
3. There was white-collar crime.
Copy !req
4. swear before this committee
that you will...
Copy !req
5. There was blue-collar crime.
Copy !req
6. There was even collard
green crime.
Copy !req
7. Hey! Come back here
with my pot liquor!
Copy !req
8. In Bed-Stuy, one crime
was an epidemic—
Copy !req
9. chain snatching.
Copy !req
10. Everybody had a gold chain
Copy !req
11. and somebody was
waiting to snatch it.
Copy !req
12. Nobody was safe.
Copy !req
13. Not young people...
Copy !req
14. Hey!
Copy !req
15. Not old people...
Copy !req
16. Oh!
Copy !req
17. Not even dead people.
Copy !req
18. I never had a gold chain
because my parents
Copy !req
19. would never let me get one.
Copy !req
20. Gold chain?
Is a gold chain
gonna keep the house warm?
Copy !req
21. Is a gold chain gonna help
you graduate?
Is a gold chain
Copy !req
22. gonna get rid
of my gout?
Is a gold chain
Copy !req
23. gonna help clean
this place up?
Copy !req
24. The only thing you need
with a gold chain
Copy !req
25. is to lock up the gold gates
on your gold house.
Mmm.
Copy !req
26. Even though I didn't
have a gold chain,
Copy !req
27. my father was right.
Copy !req
28. Vanessa,
look out!
Copy !req
29. What did I do that for?
Copy !req
30. Boy, what's
wrong with you?
Copy !req
31. Sorry, I didn't know.
It was a reflex.
Copy !req
32. "Sorry" didn't do it.
You did it.
Copy !req
33. Now, guess what.
Copy !req
34. You owe Malvo
a gold chain.
Copy !req
35. Good thing I didn't
stop him from stealing
Copy !req
36. a gold house.

Copy !req
39. Tonya!
Copy !req
40. Tonya!
Copy !req
41. Come on, we gotta go!
Copy !req
42. While I was on the hook
for a gold chain,
Copy !req
43. Tonya was on the line
for the hookup!
Copy !req
44. What're you doing?
Copy !req
45. We gotta go to school.
Copy !req
46. Billy Ocean is coming
to Radio City Music Hall
Copy !req
47. and the 98th caller
wins tickets.
Copy !req
48. I faced the same odds
whenever I called
Copy !req
49. to ask out a girl.
Copy !req
50. So, what caller are you?
Copy !req
51. I don't know, I keep
getting a busy signal.
Copy !req
52. DJ:
Hey! You're caller 98!
Copy !req
53. That's right, baby,
Copy !req
54. you are going
to see Billy Ocean.
Copy !req
55. Well, come on. We're going
to be late— plus, you know
Copy !req
56. Mama don't like
you on her phone.
Copy !req
57. We're giving away
two tickets a day
Copy !req
58. all this week.
Just be caller 98.
Copy !req
59. If you want to hear
Billy Ocean sing live nowadays,
Copy !req
60. you can just call up
Billy Ocean.
Copy !req
61. Hey there,
Mrs. Rochelle.
Copy !req
62. Hey, Mr. Omar.
Copy !req
63. Uh, the mailman left this
letter for Mr. Julius
Copy !req
64. in my mailbox by mistake.
Copy !req
65. Oh, okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
66. By the way, I was
wondering if I could
Copy !req
67. ask you a favor.
Copy !req
68. Sure.
Copy !req
69. You wouldn't
happen to have
Copy !req
70. another pair of pantyhose
I could borrow?
Copy !req
71. Pantyhose?
Copy !req
72. Borrow?
Copy !req
73. I need a new stocking
cap for my hair.
Copy !req
74. Oh...
Copy !req
75. Okay, sure.
You can have these.
Copy !req
76. Were you about
to put these on,
Copy !req
77. or did you just
take them off?
Copy !req
78. They're new, Mr. Omar.
Copy !req
79. Oh.
Copy !req
80. Okay, then.
Copy !req
81. Thanks.
Copy !req
82. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
83. I think he's disappointed.
Copy !req
84. My mother usually wouldn't
open my father's mail...
Copy !req
85. unless she wanted
to know what was inside.
Copy !req
86. "Attached is your
new credit card.
Copy !req
87. Cardholder since 1970"?
Copy !req
88. Hey, baby.
Copy !req
89. Any mail?
Copy !req
90. Mmm. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
91. Here you go.
Copy !req
92. My mother told me there's
two things you don't hide
Copy !req
93. from your wife—
extra women and extra money.
Copy !req
94. I was so afraid of Malvo
I couldn't think straight.
Copy !req
95. What are you
still doing here?
Copy !req
96. Just trying to
figure something out.
Copy !req
97. You remember Malvo?
Copy !req
98. Malvo?
Copy !req
99. I thought he went to jail.
Copy !req
100. Well, he got out,
Copy !req
101. and this morning
he tried to snatch a chain.
Copy !req
102. I saw him coming
up on my friend,
Copy !req
103. but I didn't know it was him.
Copy !req
104. Don't tell me you warned her.
Copy !req
105. I warned her.
Oh, man.
Copy !req
106. Don't you know if
you see a crime
Copy !req
107. committed in New York City,
you keep your mouth shut?
Copy !req
108. I don't care if you
see Ronald Reagan
Copy !req
109. about to gun down the Pope,
you don't tell!
Copy !req
110. Greg was a big fan
of editorial cartoons.
Copy !req
111. It was a reflex.
So you're
sitting here?
Copy !req
112. Obviously he didn't kill you.
Copy !req
113. What'd he say?
Copy !req
114. What'd you do that for?
Copy !req
115. Then what?
Then I said...
Copy !req
116. I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to. It was a reflex.
Copy !req
117. And then he said,
Copy !req
118. "'Sorry' didn't do it.
You did."
Copy !req
119. And then he put a finger
in my chest and said,
Copy !req
120. "You're gonna get Malvo
Copy !req
121. a gold chain
by tomorrow night."
Copy !req
122. And if you don't?
Copy !req
123. He said, "when you
least expect it,
Copy !req
124. "I will be there.
Copy !req
125. "When you're in the shower...
Copy !req
126. Where's my chain?
Copy !req
127. "... when you're watching TV...
Copy !req
128. Where's my chain?
Copy !req
129. Even in your dreams."
Copy !req
130. Chris, I just want
to let you know,
Copy !req
131. I hate everybody else,
but I love you.
Copy !req
132. Will you get me a soda?
Copy !req
133. Yeah.
Copy !req
134. Where's my chain?
Copy !req
135. That's so weird.
Copy !req
136. Guys in my neighborhood
wear gold chains all the time,
Copy !req
137. You never hear about
one getting snatched.
Copy !req
138. That's because
it only happened once.
Copy !req
139. Black-on-black crime is nothing
Copy !req
140. compared to Italian-
on-Italian crime.
Copy !req
141. This may sound crazy,
but what if you
Copy !req
142. just buy one
and give it to him?
Copy !req
143. I mean, how much do gold
chains cost, anyway?
Copy !req
144. $300?
Copy !req
145. Got any more ideas?
Copy !req
146. A bus ticket out
of town only cost $35.
Copy !req
147. Since I couldn't afford
to buy a chain,
Copy !req
148. I avoided Malvo
to buy some time.
Copy !req
149. I took every train.
Copy !req
150. I took every bus.
Copy !req
151. No matter how hard I tried
to avoid Malvo,
Copy !req
152. he always seemed to be around.
Copy !req
153. If I could've, I would've taken
a underground railroad.
Copy !req
154. Is you running
to the north?
Copy !req
155. No, I'm running from Malvo.
Copy !req
156. Malvo? You'd a been
better off a slave.
Copy !req
157. Get on, now, and remember—
you ain't seen nothing.
Copy !req
158. To get the truth about
my father's credit card,
Copy !req
159. my mother went straight
to the source— her friends.
Copy !req
160. Credit card?
Yep.
Copy !req
161. And you didn't know
anything about it?
Copy !req
162. Nope.
Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
163. I know this one woman who caught
her man lying about his height.
Copy !req
164. His height?
His height?
Copy !req
165. His height.
Yeah. He had shoe lifts.
Copy !req
166. Turns out, he had
a whole other family.
Copy !req
167. That's all my mother
needed to hear.
Copy !req
168. So are you gonna
ask him about it?
Copy !req
169. What would she do that for?
Copy !req
170. Uh-uh.
Don't you ask him nothing.
Copy !req
171. Just wait. See
what he does.
Copy !req
172. You've got to be surreptitious
Copy !req
173. If he is waiting on
that credit card, give him
Copy !req
174. a couple of days.
Copy !req
175. He'll start looking for it.
Copy !req
176. Tonya, get off the phone
and come eat.
Copy !req
177. Back at home, my mother
wasn't the only one
Copy !req
178. doing undercover work.
Copy !req
179. Boy, what you think
this is, a stickup?
Copy !req
180. Take off that hat
and take off
Copy !req
181. those glasses and act like
you sitting at the table.
Copy !req
182. Who were you talking to?
Copy !req
183. I wasn't talking.
I was trying to see
Copy !req
184. if I could to win tickets
to see Billy Ocean.
Copy !req
185. I don't know why you keep
calling— you're not gonna win.
Copy !req
186. I hope you win,
Copy !req
187. 'cause I can't
afford to buy them.
Copy !req
188. No, who knows where
we would get the money from.
Copy !req
189. I know
that's right.
Too bad we
Copy !req
190. don't have a credit card...
Copy !req
191. I am not getting
a credit card
Copy !req
192. so we can buy
some concert tickets.
Copy !req
193. So you're saying you don't
want a credit card?
Copy !req
194. That's right.
Mmm.
Copy !req
195. I wish I could've told
Copy !req
196. my father what was going on.
Copy !req
197. Run, Daddy! Run!
Copy !req
198. She's being
surreptitious!
Copy !req
199. Oh, baby, well, I hope
you win those tickets
Copy !req
200. because we sure are not
Copy !req
201. gonna buy them
with a credit card.
Copy !req
202. Pass the syrup.
Copy !req
203. I was so good
at sneaking around,
Copy !req
204. I thought about
joining the CIA.
Copy !req
205. Hey!
Copy !req
206. Or maybe the D.O.A.
Copy !req
207. I got a question for
you boy. What is today?
Copy !req
208. Uh... Wednesday?
Copy !req
209. Nah. Today is two days after
the day before yesterday.
Copy !req
210. Malvo was an idiot savant—
Copy !req
211. 98% idiot,
two percent savant.
Copy !req
212. So the question is,
where's my chain?
Copy !req
213. I don't have the
money for a chain,
Copy !req
214. and I don't know
where to get one.
Copy !req
215. They're generally
found around necks.
Copy !req
216. Well, maybe I can get
you something else.
Copy !req
217. Nah. I want a chain.
Copy !req
218. You know why?
No.
Copy !req
219. Two reasons. A, since
my most recent parole,
Copy !req
220. I'm limiting myself
to Class A misdemeanors
Copy !req
221. and three, nobody
needs a chain.
Copy !req
222. So I'm actually
doing people a favor
Copy !req
223. by taking things
that they don't need.
Copy !req
224. You could argue with his math,
Copy !req
225. but not with his logic.
Copy !req
226. All right, I'll get you one.
Copy !req
227. Oh, I know you will,
Copy !req
228. or else I'm gonna
have to commit
Copy !req
229. a Class B misdemeanor on you,
and you don't want that.
Copy !req
230. He was right, considering
a class B misdemeanor
Copy !req
231. is cockfighting.
Copy !req
232. Look, I know you don't want to
do it, but you got no choice.
Copy !req
233. You're gonna have
to snatch a chain.
Copy !req
234. You know what my parents'd do
to me if they found out I was
Copy !req
235. a chain snatcher?
So what about Malvo?
Copy !req
236. You just going to go back
to him tomorrow and say,
Copy !req
237. "I don't know where you're
getting your chain from,
Copy !req
238. but you're not
getting it from me"?
Copy !req
239. I can't do this.
Copy !req
240. I don't know anything
about chain snatching.
Copy !req
241. What's there to know?
Copy !req
242. The directions are
on the title.
Copy !req
243. You see a chain,
you snatch it.
Copy !req
244. I couldn't help but think, if
I did actually snatch a chain,
Copy !req
245. something would go wrong.
Copy !req
246. Freeze! FBI!
Show me your hands!
Copy !req
247. Get on your knees now!
Copy !req
248. We got you now,
you little chain snatcher.
Copy !req
249. Frisk him!
Make sure he got
Copy !req
250. no chains on him.
Copy !req
251. You want to get away?
Don't try to move.
Copy !req
252. A jury of your peers has found
you guilty of chain snatching.
Copy !req
253. I sentence you to death
by electric chair.
Copy !req
254. Boy, I ought to beat
the legs off of you!
Copy !req
255. You better take him
to the chair!
Copy !req
256. Did the governor call, yet?
Copy !req
257. No, my man, but check this out.
Copy !req
258. I gotta pick
my brother up at 12:00,
Copy !req
259. so if you really don't mind,
Copy !req
260. why don't we just go ahead
and do this, all right?
Copy !req
261. Better him than me.
Copy !req
262. Feels good to be right
for a change.
Copy !req
263. When surreptition didn't work,
my mother tried confrontation.
Copy !req
264. Hello.
Copy !req
265. Hey, baby.
Copy !req
266. You must think I'm stupid.
Copy !req
267. Oh, yeah. Rochelle is just...
Copy !req
268. an idiot!
Copy !req
269. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
270. She don't know what
goes on in this house.
Copy !req
271. And I damn sure
Copy !req
272. ain't going
to tell her.
Copy !req
273. Is that what you tell your
little Puerto Rican mami?
Copy !req
274. Huh
Copy !req
275. Did you take them
on vacation and buy
Copy !req
276. 45 cent worth of this?
Copy !req
277. $1.49 worth of that?
Copy !req
278. With your credit card?
Copy !req
279. A credit card?
Copy !req
280. Your credit card.
Copy !req
281. Oh, yeah. Be a man
about it, Julius!
Copy !req
282. It's got your name on it.
Copy !req
283. Oh! Oh! And you know what
else it says, Julius?
Copy !req
284. It says "Cardholder
Copy !req
285. since 1970"!
Copy !req
286. That means that
for 15 years,
Copy !req
287. you've been hiding this from me!
Copy !req
288. So what do you have
Copy !req
289. to say for yourself, Julius?
Copy !req
290. Don't you say another word!
Copy !req
291. ¿Comprende, papi?
Copy !req
292. Oh, you been
hiding a credit card.
Copy !req
293. What else
are you hiding?
Copy !req
294. Oh. Is Julius really your name?
Copy !req
295. Oh, maybe you're
the Green River Killer?
Copy !req
296. Do you know where
Jimmy Hoffa is buried?
Copy !req
297. Who shot Kennedy?
Copy !req
298. For all I know,
Copy !req
299. you could be Batman!
Copy !req
300. I am not Batman.
Copy !req
301. I'm Batman.
Copy !req
302. Julius,
I need to know the truth.
Copy !req
303. You can't handle the truth!
Copy !req
304. Rochelle, I couldn't
tell you about it.
Copy !req
305. Why not? Do you know how many
times we could have used it?
Copy !req
306. That's why I couldn't
tell you about it.
Copy !req
307. I didn't want
another bill, baby.
Copy !req
308. Oh. Okay, Mr. Responsibility,
Mr. Fiscally Conservative,
Copy !req
309. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide
Copy !req
310. Things From His Wife,
Copy !req
311. answer this for me:
Copy !req
312. since you're
so against credit cards,
Copy !req
313. why do you have one?
Copy !req
314. Ask your friends
at the beauty shop.
Copy !req
315. Why do you keep calling
that station, Tonya?
Copy !req
316. You're not
going to win.
Copy !req
317. Why don't you
just quit?
Shut up.
Copy !req
318. Oh, it's ringing!
Copy !req
319. Tonya wasn't just waiting
for concert tickets.
Copy !req
320. She was waiting
for Billy Ocean tickets.
Copy !req
321. And she would wait
as long as it took.
Copy !req
322. Dang, girl, you still trying
to get Billy Ocean tickets?
Copy !req
323. Yeah. He's opening
for Usher at the Beacon.
Copy !req
324. Hello.
Copy !req
325. Hey. You're caller number 97.
Copy !req
326. Sorry, baby.
Copy !req
327. You're caller number 98!
Copy !req
328. Oh! Oh! You playing!
You playing!
Copy !req
329. Told you.
Copy !req
330. Are you playing me?
I'm going to see Billy Ocean!
Copy !req
331. Am I really going
to see Billy Ocean?
Copy !req
332. Come on, man. Don't be playing.
Copy !req
333. Dad, do you
have a minute?
Copy !req
334. Sure. What is it?
Copy !req
335. Well, you know
my friend Greg?
Copy !req
336. He has a problem.
I want to help him.
Copy !req
337. What kind of problem?
Copy !req
338. Well, there's this guy
who wants him to snatch
Copy !req
339. a chain for him.
Copy !req
340. Snatch a chain?
Copy !req
341. That's stealing.
Copy !req
342. People work hard
for what they have.
Copy !req
343. Thief, murderer—
Copy !req
344. it's all the same in my book.
Copy !req
345. Right. Which is why
he doesn't want to do it.
Copy !req
346. But, if he doesn't, the guy
is going to beat him up.
Copy !req
347. But, if he does,
he's going to go to jail.
Copy !req
348. He's going
to get beat up anyway.
Copy !req
349. So he can get beat up
for breaki the law,
Copy !req
350. or beat up
for not breaking the law.
Copy !req
351. But, at least,
if he doesn't break the law,
Copy !req
352. the other guy will go to jail,
and he'll get beat up instead.
Copy !req
353. Huh?
Copy !req
354. So should he snatch the chain
or not snatch the chain?
Copy !req
355. Not snatch the chain.
Copy !req
356. Why didn't you just say that?
Copy !req
357. Oh. Thanks.
Copy !req
358. I'll tell Greg
what you said.
Copy !req
359. Why didn't Greg
ask his own father for help?
Copy !req
360. 'Cause he didn't know
what he was going to do.
Copy !req
361. Well, tell him
don't do nothing stupid.
Copy !req
362. Okay.
Copy !req
363. Drew didn't know
what it felt like to lose,
Copy !req
364. but he hated the way
it looked on Tonya.
Copy !req
365. Give me the phone.
Copy !req
366. Hey. What's your name?
Copy !req
367. Tonya.
Copy !req
368. Tonya. Hey, I'm sorry
to tell you this, baby,
Copy !req
369. but you're caller number 98!
Copy !req
370. You're going to see Billy Ocean!
Copy !req
371. Drew was so lucky,
Copy !req
372. one time a horse tried to take
his shoe for good luck.
Copy !req
373. Meanwhile, when my mother
was upset with my father,
Copy !req
374. she would do everything mad,
like mad-folding...
Copy !req
375. Lying to me 15 years!
Copy !req
376. Hiding a credit card!
Copy !req
377. And mad-cooking...
Copy !req
378. Got some woman spending money
I'm supposed to be spending!
Copy !req
379. And mad-sleeping...
Copy !req
380. Buying somebody else
real leather...
Copy !req
381. Letting the storm subside
wasn't working,
Copy !req
382. so my father had to walk
into the eye of the hurricane.
Copy !req
383. Rochelle, I don't
want you be mad at me.
Copy !req
384. Hah! Should have thought
about that 15 years ago.
Copy !req
385. Why am I always
the last to know?
Copy !req
386. Here I am, worried about where
you are, what you're doing,
Copy !req
387. and who you're
doing it with.
Copy !req
388. You're supposed to be my man.
Copy !req
389. You turn out
being The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Copy !req
390. I can explain.
Copy !req
391. Look, 15 years ago, I was
flat broke and needed money.
Copy !req
392. That's no different
than 15 seconds ago.
Copy !req
393. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
394. The department store
was giving these things away.
Copy !req
395. Hah! Really? Did they give you
tips on where to hide it?
Copy !req
396. I bought one thing, and it took
seven years to pay off.
Copy !req
397. What about the other
eight years, Julius?
Copy !req
398. Every time I tried
to cancel the card,
Copy !req
399. they just sent me a new one
and raised the limit.

to find out about?

403. Your wedding ring.
Copy !req
404. For the first time in 15 years,
Copy !req
405. my father got my mother
to shut up.
Copy !req
406. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
407. I should have told you.
Copy !req
408. Here's what
he really wanted to say:
Copy !req
409. Hah! In your face!
Copy !req
410. You wrong, you wrong,
you wrong and I am right!
Copy !req
411. Uh!
Copy !req
412. Uh! Uh! Uh! Ah!
Copy !req
413. I'm right, I'm right,
I'm right, I'm right,
Copy !req
414. I'm right,

Copy !req
415. And, out on the street,
Copy !req
416. I had finally
gotten my nerve up.
Copy !req
417. You got my chain?
Copy !req
418. No.
Copy !req
419. I'm not getting you one either.
Copy !req
420. Boy, you think
I'm playing with you!
Copy !req
421. Let him go.
Copy !req
422. Who you supposed
to be?
Copy !req
423. Dad, it's okay.
Copy !req
424. Dad?
Copy !req
425. He wasn't surprised
that was my father.
Copy !req
426. That was just the first
father he had ever seen.
Copy !req
427. So I'm supposed to be afraid
'cause you brought
Copy !req
428. your daddy out here?
Copy !req
429. No, you're supposed
to be scared because,
Copy !req
430. if you ever put your hands
on my son again,
Copy !req
431. you ain't going to jail.
Copy !req
432. I'm going to jail.
Copy !req
433. What you going to do?
Copy !req
434. You'll find out what
I'm going to do.
Copy !req
435. You think I'm playing?
Copy !req
436. When you're in the shower,
I'm going to be there.
Copy !req
437. You think I'm playing?
Copy !req
438. When you're watching TV,
I'm going to be there.
Copy !req
439. Think I'm playing?
Copy !req
440. Even in your dreams,
I'm going to be there.
Copy !req
441. Mr. Malvo, you're free to go.
Copy !req
442. Case dismissed.
Copy !req
443. What I tell you, dude? Hey!
Copy !req
444. You think I'm playing?
Copy !req
445. Yeah. That's all right.
Copy !req
446. It's going
to be all right!
Copy !req
447. You lucky
I don't know my daddy.
Copy !req
448. That was the slogan
for the Bed-Stuy Boys' Club.
Copy !req
449. Dad, how did you know I was
talking about me and not Greg?
Copy !req
450. Chris, white kids
don't snatch chains.
Copy !req
451. Lucky for me, snatching chains
was fading out.
Copy !req
452. Unfortunately, it was
replaced by a new crime...
Copy !req
453. carjacking.
Copy !req
454. Vanessa, look out!
Copy !req
455. Man, you owe me a car!
