remains
six months in arrears.
MCR 2.116, C9 demands
that this property be foreclosed
on.
In addition, Your Honor,
my client has just learned
that the insurance
coverage has been cancelled
due to Mr. Martini's
involvement with an arson
at his prior residence.
- [Defense attorney] That's
absolutely false, Your Honor.
This man lost his wife, lost his
house,
lost everything.
And not even single charge
was brought against him.

supported
by a two-year investigation.
- Okay, let's calm down, both of
you.
- [Defense attorney] Your Honor,
we asking for a little
more time so Mr. Martini
can get his life in order.

and is just biding time
at the bank's expense.

Mr. Martini.
Mr. Martini.
- Yes.
- What's your intention?
- I just need a little
time to pay what I owe.
I've never not paid anyone.
- Mr. Martini,
I'll give you four weeks.
If you could pay half of what
you owe,
then I'll consider giving you
more time.
- Your Honor, this man's
unemployed.
- You've said that, Counsellor.
Mr. Martini, do you have a job?
- Yes, I'm a landlord.
- Well, I suggest you get to
work, honey.

working the system.
Three months, didn't pay me.

- She's good.
- Oh, I love Lena, she's such a

We're gonna talk about some

The Latin lovely ladies here.
I got the Turkish girls there,
the Lebanese girls there.
I got it all going on, man.
Oh, I got something for you too,
hold on,
I forgot to give it to you.
This is my new shit.
This is my new shit, you're
gonna love this. Woo!
Check it out.
You gonna smoke with me?
- Stop fucking with me, bro.
And how much power you
got coming down here, man?
- Just a little bit.
I increased it a little bit.
Let's go smoke, you're asking
too many questions now.
- Yeah, we should go smoke.
- [Kush] You're gonna love this
new shit,
I'm telling you, man.
You're the first person I'm
giving it to.
Wait 'til you try it, man,
you're gonna love it, love it,
love it.
- Kush, you can keep the weed,
man,
but we gotta come up with a
better number moving forward,
to keep this shit going right,
because I'm not fucking
with trading no more.
I mean, it's not worth it to
trade.
- You don't gotta deal
with this stuff, man.
I gotta deal with this fucking
shit.
- Bro, I gotta raise your rent,
and I want a small percentage of
the crop.
C'mon, man, I got a
million things to do, bro.
- I ain't big time like that,
man.
You can't do that, you can't
go back, I cleaned all this.
A deal's a fucking deal, man,
and now you're changing the
fucking...
- Bro, it's not worth it, man.
Everything's in my
name, I could, you know,
lose the fucking building,
bro, it's a liability, man.
- Why are you doing this?
- Kush, you got the whole
basement,
and a nice unit upstairs for
600, that ain't shit, bro.
- [Kush] You know what?
- [Elvis] Hey man.
- [Kush] Give me my fucking
shit, man.
One, two, three, four, five,
six.
Yeah, okay, no more of this.
That's fine.
- You got my rent or what, man?
- That ain't even cool, yeah,
I got your fucking rent.
I showed you my fucking porn,
I taught you what 80s music was.
- [Elvis] Just give me the
fucking rent, man, come on.
- I hope this fucking building
burns down with me in it.
What are you thinking about
going forward?
- [Elvis] I got to think about
it, man, I'll let you know.
And take this fucking picture
down, man.
I'm not gonna tell you any more.
- Yeah, well, you're not good at
your job,
it's fucking time for a
reelection.
I'm voting for the fucking
underdog, man.
Got no fucking friends
any more, but it's okay.
I got you, girl.
(moaning)
- Fuck...
Fuck. Oh, I'm gonna come.
(grunting)
- You want me to make you some
coffee?
- No, I gotta go.
- Oh, come on.
- Because Agroni's here.
- Hey baby, was this good? Was
it good?
- It was good.
You can do me a favor,
tell Leka to stop buying guns,
and start paying his rent.
I'll see you, sweetie.
- There you go, Elvis.
Sorry about the delay,
and, um, is it okay if I get a
receipt?
- [Elvis] Sure, Chad.
It's no problem, man. The
place looks great, bro.
Swear to God I've never seen it
this nice.
It is the best I've ever seen
it.
Could use two more guys
like him, eh, Agroni?
- Oh, thanks Elvis.
Hi, I'm Chad.
- Hi.
- See, Agroni, these are good
for the economy, man, you see?
They plant flowers and shit.
- Thanks. You guys want
something to drink?
- No, we're good, Chad, I swear
to God,
we got a million things to do
today,
man, I'm moving this
chick out down the hall.
So Chad, yo, let me ask you,
man,
like, why you guys moving
down here and shit?
- Homosexuals?
- No, man.
I mean, just like from the
suburbs.
- Well, the rent down here is
cheap.
The neighborhood's cute, you
know,
and it's different to what I'm
used to.
So, you move in, you invest in
the area,
you help it out and you build
something.
Actually...
All right, here you go,
you know, you guys should stop
by.
You should come by sometime, you
know,
um, you straight people are
allowed
to have fun too, you know.
- Is this your thing?
- Yep, that's my Saturday night
staple.
- Yeah, we can go on
Saturday, right, Agroni?
You got nothing going on.
- All right, cool, I'll
be there every Saturday.
- No, no understand, no.
- All right, man.
Well, thanks, Chad, again, bro.
- Thank you.
- Place looks great, just keep
doing what you're doing, man.
- Have a good day.
- What the fuck you
telling that faggot, man,
we're going to dicks club, huh?
- Okay, Agroni, it was a joke,
bro, relax.
- No, no, Visie, Visie, I
don't joke like that, okay?
- Okay, it's this one.
Open it up, change the lock,
and I'll go check out Lena.
- I don't like the dick, okay?
- Why not, man? You should try
it, bro, everyone's doing it.
- What?
(Agroni speaks in Albanian)
- It's in style man, we'll
find you a nice guy, bro.
What's up, Len?
- Are we gonna go to Opal later?
- Yes, yes, Len, just play,
okay.
If I finish, we will.
- Oh man.
- You've got more white paint,
right?
I'll take fucking this,
these fucking DVDs.
- Well it's too bad, man, tough
shit.
(toilet flushes)
- [Agroni] Hey!
- Hello?
Hello?
Oh, Ed, what's up, buddy?
Where's your mom?
- She working.
- She's working? Who are you
with?
- Just me.
Is that a real gun?
- Yeah, guns are bad
though. They're real bad.
- He won't let me play over
here.
- I bet he does, come on.
- Why ain't the water work?
- The water ain't working
because you're mom's money ain't
working.
Are you thirsty or hungry?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, okay, we're gonna
get you something to eat.
My cousin over here.
Hey.
- [Agroni] Yeah?
- [Elvis] Yeah, my
place, yeah, go feed him.
- Mr. Landlord?
- Yeah?
- Can your friend please
not take all the movies?
- When your mother calls,
you're gonna get it back,
but just go with my cousin,
he's a nice man, okay?
We'll get you something to eat.
(talks in Albanian)
- I better get paid for this,
man.
(Agroni mutters in Albanian)
Oh shit.
Oh shit.
20, 40, 60, 80, that's one.
Thanks man, here.
- Visie?
- Eh?
- What are you talking about,
bro?
I was just playing with the fag
shit,
why you take everything so
seriously?
Get back in the old country.
- What are you talking
about, man? They're renters.
I'm just helping them.
Mind your fucking business, man.
- [Elvis] Well it can't
be cold than here, right?
- Good, turn left.
Did you see that?
Later I could show you
everyone's apartment,
on dad's other TV.
- This motherfucker!
(knocking)
Elvis!
Elvis, open up the motherfucking
door.
Elvis!
Come on, nigga, quit playing,
I'll stab you, motherfucker!
- Slow down.
Here's your boy, he's
fed, thanks to my cousin.
- You went in my place
and changed my lock?
- I swear to God, if you
don't stop screaming,
I'm gonna call 5-0 and I'm gonna
report you for trespassing.
So get the fuck out of here,
and then we're through.
- I need to get in my place!
- No, no, no, no.
No, it's my place. Here's
all your stuff, okay?
- Motherfucker, you ain't served
me!
- Listen, I've never had to,
what do you think, you're going
to play the squatting game?
Sit around here for free just to
get by?
Until the court system evicts
you?
It doesn't work like that...
- I'm gonna call the police.
- Call them!
And what are you gonna do,
you're gonna tell them about
your call girl business?
And how you leave your
boy alone all the time?
Fucking call them!
- Fuck you, motherfucker.
- Listen, there's three months,
three months, 1,800, no pay.
So get the fuck out of here...
- Okay!
Okay, we'll see, nigga.
- I'm sorry, but grownups fight.
- All right, all right,
nigga, come on, baby.
You can keep this shit
in your dump-ass place.
- I will keep it, and I'm gonna
apply it
to your balance, okay?
Get the fuck out of here.
- You done fucked with the wrong
bitch,
that's what you just did.
Motherfucker, come on. Piece of

- Elvis, is everything okay?
- I just evicted her, man,
sorry about the noise.
Just enjoy your day.

Yeah, I'm making a late mortgage

(distorted music)
- Hey, Lek?

- She didn't say anything, man.
- No, no, no, what did

Ohh!
(distorted music)
- [Voiceover] Hey, baby,
I got off work early.
Lena's still at my mom's so
maybe we could go out tonight?
I'm gonna take a nap now.
Wake me when you get home, okay?
I love you, bye.
(bells ring)
- Ciao.
- And a whoopa!
- Dimitri, thanks, man.
- Be careful, it's very hot.
- I can see that.
- Enjoy.
- Eat, eat. Eat, Len.
Watch your hands, watch your
hands,
here, I'll cut it for you, I'll
cut it for you, don't worry.
So, that's kind of how it went,
like, we'd have to blow in
the games to get 'em to work.
Or stick him in the freezer.
- Daddy?
- Yeah, babe?
- Nothing, never mind.
- What? Speak.
You know I hate it when you do
that.
- Do you believe in Jesus,
daddy?
- Len, why are you asking
a bunch of questions
that have nothing to do
with what we're doing?
You're always bugging me to
bring you here
and now that I do, just never
mind, eat.
- Because Father Gjonni said you
didn't.
- Father Gjonni?
Why do you think you
haven't been at school?
Father Gjonni...
(phone buzzes)
What the fuck is this now,
again?
Hello?

tree, dog.
- Who's this?

So if you do come by tonight,

Because my landlord's a fucking
asshole.
- Yeah.

If you help me, I could

Here's your money.
All right, man, tell this

- So you're the king, huh?
- Get the fuck off me, bro.
- Like Elvis Presley.
I'm Dino.
- Yeah, man, I'm Albanian. You?
I tell you what I am, a purist.
- Where the fuck is my girl,
man?
- Sit down, come.
- All right, man.
Yo, man, tell your man to
fucking calm down, huh?
- You hear that? That's pure,
that sound.
They're better than us, you
know?
They're cleaner, and they're
smarter, they're more loyal.
Just depends who raised them.
Discipline.
Teach them.
- Dino, please, man,
let's just finish this.
Where's my girl, bro?
- Thing is, I never have
children
because I know I am improperly
bred to raise them correct.
Like your tenant Rolexa, huh?
The one you shit on all the
time?
She's terrible mother.
- I never shit on her, okay?
I took care of her son a couple
of times.
It was your girl or something?
- She was not mine, she
belonged to streets.
She sucked dick for a living.
(dogs bark)
She steals from me, you know.
She had somebody steal from me.
I kill her.
- Dino, I did what you asked
for, man.
- You good father, King? Huh?
My father, he's not very nice.
It's healthy to suffer
sometimes, you know?
To suffering is to cleansing.
My children, they gotta suffer.
They value when I feed
them that much more.
- Dino, I understand,
man. I fucked up, okay?
I'm sorry. What are we gonna do
here?
I'm gonna watch you eat or what?
- Jag, clean up the ring.
- It's what we agreed to, man.
- Yeah, okay.
(laughing)
(he whistles)
I bet you work hard for this,
huh?
- I did what I had to do.
- I don't see that because
this not 25 Gs, man.
That's what we talk
about on the phone, huh?
- Let me see her face, let
me see she's okay, okay?
You got half there, you
follow me, you get the rest.
Okay? And we're done.
- Yeah? Ah.
Dog,
what do you think, huh?
You think I'm one of
these dumb fucking tenants
you fuck with all day?
- No, man.
Let's just finish this,
that's all I wanna do.
(Dino laughs)
- Your little girl, she's
something else, you know?
She louder, scratched harder
than a lot of little bitches
I see before.
You train her well, huh?
- Lena!
(grunting)
Don't! look at me!
- No! Daddy no!
No!
No! Daddy, no!
- The money's in the trunk.
The money's in the fucking
trunk!
Dino, the money's in the trunk,
man,
don't hurt my fucking daughter.
- Check the trunk, bring
me the loot, go, go!
- I didn't do this for no
fucking reason!
(dogs bark)
- No, no! Don't hurt him!
- Oh you motherfuckers!
You sick motherfuckers!
- What do you think, G?
Maybe we're gonna feed this
motherfucker's girl to Lucifer,
make him watch.
What do you think, Lucy, huh?
It's been a long time since
you have some human meat,
I'm sure, huh?
- Len, turn around! I'm okay,
baby.
She don't need to see this,
man, get her outta here, man,
it's just between you
and me, you motherfucker.
- Listen to you.
I bet you act like you're
Christ and shit to people, huh?
Remember all that slick shit
you was talking to me on
the phone, Shqiptar, huh?
(he speaks in Albanian)
To my dogs, I am their savior.
I bet you wish you had
one right about now.
(he speaks in Albanian)
G, let's go.
- Daddy!
- Everything's gonna be okay!
Turn around!
Dino, please! Oh fuck!
She doesn't need to see this
shit.
Fuck you, man.
Agh fuck! It's between me and
you, man.
No, no, stop, stop.
No, no, no, no, no.
Dino, enough! Dino, enough!
Agh. Dino, stop it!
No, no, no, no.
- Daddy!
(screaming)
- Oh you motherfuckers!
Agh shit!
- Okay, very good, G.
Go outside, check on them, okay?
I'm gonna have some fun with
this.
- [Elvis] Lena, turn around.
- Yeah, turn around.
- [Elvis] You motherfucker,
Dino.
- I'm here, baby, I'm here.
- [Elvis] She doesn't need to
see this!
- What do you want? What do you
want?
What do you want? You want this?
- [Elvis] No!
- How about this?
- [Elvis] Dino, please, man,
fucking take it and get out of
here!
Okay, okay, okay.
Dino, enough, okay, Dino.
- Daddy!
- Very good, very good.
Just like the sheep back home,
we slice them, eat them well
done.
You got a lot of good meat,
baby.
- [Elvis] Agh you sick
fuck! You sick fuck!
- Yeah.
- [Elvis] I'm gonna fucking
kill you, you motherfucker.
- You're not gonna do nothing,
man,
you're gonna do nothing.
- Lena.
- Dad!
- Don't make me kill you in
front of her
and then fuck your bloody
corpse, okay?
- [Pete] Get on the ground,
motherfucker!
- Get off, you sick
motherfucker!
- You gonna like this shit?
You like this huh?
- No! Don't hurt him!
- Watch your daddy, watch your
daddy.
Argh! You sick motherfucker!
(shouting)
(Dino gags)
- Get me out of here, daddy.
Daddy...
Daddy. Daddy.
- I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, okay.
(phone rings)
Hey, baby, come on, come on.
- [Phone] Leave a message after
the beep
and I'll get back to you.
- Hey, it's me.
I kind of forgot what you
sounded like.
I quit smoking.
So, Lena says she wants
to make video games
when she grows up.
I know, that's crazy, right?
She's getting so big, and
she's just like you, smart.
And she just loves, and loves,
and loves.
And I don't deserve it
the way I never deserved you.
I'm so sorry,
I don't know what's coming after
this
but I'm ready for it, you know?
I'm trying.
I'm trying so hard.
I miss you more and more every
day.
