00:00Dear God, I'm sorry if what I'm about to do is not right, but I gotta do it for my neighborhood.
00:21The homies call me Casper.
00:24Westlowsby, where I'm from.
00:25What do you want for your birthday?
00:27Don't bite any weed.
00:30The neighborhood's been here way before my time.
00:33Back then it was the OG Boardwalk gangsters of my pops days.
00:36It was like the Wild West out there back then.
00:38Me and your pops was brothers.
00:40Everything he schooled me on, I'm gonna teach you.
00:42You only got one chance in life to prove yourself.
00:47And that's it.
00:51My boxer?
00:52He ratted on my homeboy, Thumper.
00:54Do I know you?
00:55Everybody's got a number.
00:56His number's up.
00:57Either you stay under my roof and do what I tell you, or go with your homeboys and they could be your new family.
01:03Do you want to get out of here?
01:05Huh?
01:06Do something, fuck.
01:07Back up.
01:10Strong make the rules.
01:11That's the game.
01:12So the cops came by your pad looking for you?
01:14When you're weak, you're guilty.
01:17The game's been over a long time now, son.
01:21Anyway.
01:21You should not help me.
01:22How's baby?
01:22Sorry.
01:26Oh my God.
01:26To me, I'm late.
01:29I'm not going to be hasta aquÃ.
01:31Oh my God.
01:31Oh my God.
01:33I'm not fucking sad.
01:36Oh my God.
01:39Oh my God.
01:41Oh my God.
01:41Oh my God.
01:46Oh my God.
01:48Oh my God.
01:48Oh my God.
01:49Oh my God.
01:50Oh my God.
