"(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "Hey, man." "Gonna shoot me through the door?" "What, with this?" "What's up?" "Elias wants to see you." "Yeah, what about?" "He wouldn't say." "And I asked." " What, right now?" " Right fucking now." "OK." "Give me a second." "(TENSE MUSIC)" "ELIAS:" "Michael." "MICHAEL:" "What's going on?" " Sit down." "Come on." " OK." "I need to talk to you." "Sit, please." "Do you remember I spoke to you about the war?" " Yeah." "Every...every word." " Good." "The world you and I travel in is run by very few powerful men." "Now, these men are not politicians." "Nor are they military experts." "The battles we've fought over petty turf is now behind us." "We've grown to become leaders." "International leaders." "We no longer divide and conquer." "We conquer and divide." "This weekend is a summit of our network." "I know that." "Arturo is representing South America... ..Zed and I North America." "Who's covering Europe?" " I like your thinking." " Business, right?" "Right." "But first things first." "We can unite North and South America." "That puts Zed at the top and me over North America." "Sounds like a bloodbath to me." "Yes and no." "Then again, perhaps it's down to you." "Me?" "Why?" "We decided to keep it fun..." "entertaining...civilised." "Arturo brings his general, and I bring mine." "You." "How can I help?" "A blood match." "Winner takes all." "Now... ..the question is, Mr General... ..are you willing to represent our organisation?" "What do you think?" "You lose... ..we work for Arturo till the end of our days." "You win..." "Look at me." "..riches...beyond your wildest imagination... ..will be ours." "Who would I be fighting?" "Hector Gonzales." "Arturo's greatest general." "Really?" "So how great is he?" "You're greater." "You're faster." "You're more powerful, more intelligent." "You can win." "No, no, no, no." "Not you can win." "You will win." "So I guess, um...your wish... ..my honour, right?" "I thought you'd say that." "OK, let's celebrate." "(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)" "Yep?" "Yo, it's A-Train." "Gloria's here." " Really?" " She told me about yesterday." " And?" " She wants your help." "Cool." "That's a good thing, right?" "Where are you?" "Fifth and Broussard." "OK." "OK, I'll be right there. (HANGS UP)" "(TENSE MUSIC)" "We cool?" "We're cool." "You're doing the right thing, you know that." "I know." "Thank you." "Course." "She wants help?" "I hope so." "Why don't you go ask her?" "Hey, Gloria, you OK?" "I just wanna get out." "That's why I'm here." "Anything you need, we can arrange that, right?" "We'll help you." "Alright." "Let me ask you a question." "Truthfully." "Where do you really stand with Elias?" "Elias has a saying." ""We cut off the heads of those that will not bow."" "Yeah, sounds like him." " How's that working out?" " It's not." "Elias said... .."They've lost their way..." ""..and no man is bigger than the set."" "Time for a change, huh?" "(KNOCK AT DOOR)" "Just you?" "Come in." "I know you're a cop." "(LAUGHS) What the fuck are you talking about?" "I saw the way you cleared the lndigo's house." "If you weren't there, it would've been bang, bang, and whoever's left standing would've won." "Yeah, well, I'm still not a cop." "And I've had similar tactical training at Quantico." "I ran your DNA, Deputy Michael Savion." "What the fuck?" "You're a fucking Fed?" "Yes, I'm a fucking Fed." "I'm deep undercover." "Look, we've been in the field on this for a very long time." "I built a DNA database of the gang members which we're gonna use to convict them." "We've been hoping to get these guys all together in one place at the same time." "The summit is what we've been waiting for." "You cannot -- cannot -- screw this up, Michael." " It's important to me, too." " What do you mean?" "This guy Zed, what do you know about him?" "Zed -- he's one of our main targets." "British sonofabitch." "Their "guv'nor"." "Why?" "He killed my brother." "Yeah, he wanted to go straight, have a family, and they shot him in the back for that." "Wait, so this is not an operation?" "This is just you?" "Yeah." "Jesus Christ, Michael!" "You can't just come in like a vigilante." "We're gonna take Zed down." "This is bigger than you and your brother and Elias." "You can't do something to screw this up." "(MURMURING)" "(TENSE MUSIC)" "What have you given up, Zed... ..in your...haste for the world?" "Given up?" "We gain the world." "Oh, it's a little scratch of earth... ..maybe... ..only until it's swallowed up by the beast... ..with your remnants and skeletons of bones remaining." "Mother Earth's breath is weighted." "So, what do you know about this guy?" "Hector Gonzales?" "Well, he's never lost." "The guy's a beast." "Even for you." "We got shit to do, right?" "I'm not done yet." "I need a minute alone." "Win tonight." "Don't do anything stupid." "Wait for my signal." "This is bigger than you and your brother." "I know." "Guess it's worth winning, though." "Huh?" "ANTHONY:" "Hey, guys?" "They're here." "You see, I heard the whispers." " Whispers?" " Yes." "Yes, the voices that tell me you seek... ..perhaps... ..Michael's scratch of earth for your own, hm?" "Perhaps." "Perhaps." "Whispers, my friend, they told me you were looking for los campeones." "That is why I have come here." "What the fuck is this?" "That's for me?" "You fucking kidding me?" "Come on, I'm old-school, remember?" "I guess you should..." "You know where you found it?" "Just take it back." "What exactly do you want, Arturo?" "We both want the same thing." "Control." "A little scratch of earth." "At all costs." "This is my sacrifice." "I know you're taking the best soldiers from all sets." "You've never lost a summit." "That's true." "And neither have you." "That's it, Michael." "You stay focused." "I need to go find my sister." "She's missing." "Now, look, brother, at some point, man, if things go well, I'm gonna go ghost." "You're doing the right thing, man." "Look at them." "I want what you want -- spreading our reach throughout the world." "But unlike you... ..I don't forget who my family really is."
