[0:02]The City of Carson. You want to look at 10 years? Tomorrow I'll get you out, I promise. But that means I got to pick you up tonight. Reggie, there ain't no two ways about it. You're going to spend the night in jail. But I already told you I'm going to get you out tomorrow. Now, where are you? You're at your mother's, aren't you? Put your mother on. Miss Gilmore, Miss Gilmore. This is Max Cherry. This is uh Reggie's That's right, it's Bail Bondsman. Look, Reggie is in big trouble. Now I want to pick him up and I want you to be responsible for him before I sit down. Yeah, I'd like you to make sure that he's there when I get there. And look, this is second chance for him. They don't get. That's correct. All right, so I'm counting on you to help me help your son. Thank you very much. Put him back on the line please. All right, Reggie, we're clear on this. You got it? Good. Do yourself a really big favor and be there when I get there. How can I help you? Where can I put my ash?

[1:18]Use that cup there if you like. Hold on, I need me a bond for 10,000. You all right out there? Have some coffee? Go right ahead. Who's that big Mandingo looking nigga you got up there in that picture with you? That's Winston, he works here. Damn, he's a big one, ain't he? You all tight? Yeah. But you was boss though, right? Yeah. That was your idea to take that picture too, wasn't it? All right, you want a $10,000 bond. What do you got to put up for collateral? Gonna have to use cash. You have it with you? Got it right here in my wrapper bag. You have cash. What do you need me for? Come on man, you know how they do. Black man showed up with 10,000 cash. First thing they want to know is where I got it. Then they going to want to keep a big chunk of it, start talking that court call shit. Fuck that noise, Jack. I go through you. Cost you 1,000 for the bond. I can do that. Who's it for? Relative? Fella named Beaumont. They got him down in County. Started out drunk driving, but they wrote it up as possession of a concealed weapon. Dumb monkey ass had a pistol on him. $10,000 sounds high. Hey, run his name, got a hit. He been inside. Plus he from Kentucky and I think they kind of prejudiced against brothers from down South out here. If he runs and I have to go to Kentucky to bring him back, you pay the expenses. You think you can do that? Done it. What's his full name? Beaumont, that's all I know.

[3:00]Did you say that Bowman is his first or his last name? Uh, if I had to guess, I'd say Beaumont's his Christian name.

[3:09]Records office. Hello, this is Max Cherry, Cherry Bail Bonds. Who's this please? Yo Dell. I need you to look up. All right man, cool. We almost done here, right? Getting there. Yo, yo. You check out some music while you're sitting in the car. Take the key. Which one's for the car? Uh, this one right here. Use that little black thing there to turn off your alarm and unlock the door. What do I do? You ain't got to do nothing, man. Just point it at the car, push the button, you hear a little. That means the door's unlocked and the alarm's off. Get in. Play the volume loud as you want to, but don't touch my levels now. I got them set just like I like them.

[4:02]Beaumont Livingstone. Livingston, huh?

[4:07]On his prior he served nine months. He's working on four years probation. You don't say. You know what he's on probation for? I ain't got a clue. Possession of unregistered machine guns. Damn. Now they going to consider that a violation of his probation? They do consider this a violation of his probation. Your boy's looking at 10 years, plus the concealed weapon. He ain't going to like that. Beaumont ain't got no doing time kind of disposition.

[4:39]I need your name and address. Ordel Robbie, O R D E L L R O B B I E. 1436 Florence Boulevard, Compton, 90222.

[4:54]Is that a house or an apartment? That's a house.

[5:04]Uh-uh-uh. I didn't hear you wash your hands. Comfortable? Yeah, doors open, so I just come on in. I can see that. Why? Got some more business for you. Oh yeah. What do you do? She is an airline stewardess. Got caught coming back from Mexico with some blow. They set up bond this afternoon at $10,000. Now I'm figuring, you can take that $10,000 you owe me from Beaumont, move it over to the stewardess. The bond for possession is only a thousand. Yeah, man. They fucking with her.

[5:41]They call that shit possession with intent. A 44-year-old black woman caught with less than 2 ounces. They call that shit intent. The same thing happened to a movie star, they call it possession. Still sounds high. Well, um, she had on, I believe it was, um, 50 grand in cash. All right, before we start talking about stewardess, let's get Beaumont out of the way first. You know, I think somebody already did. What? You ain't hear? Hear what? Somebody with a garage blew Beaumont's brains out. Oh shit. That shit rhymes. Blew Beaumont's brains out. Police made contact with you? Oh, hell yeah. First motherfucking thing they did. You know, they see I pay a big money bond for my boy. They start thinking what the smoke that's logic. Roust of my ass out of bed at 10 o'clock in the morning. Scared the shit out of my woman, Sharanda. She thought they was going to take my ass away for show. This stewardess, you know her last name? Mhm. Brown. Jackie Brown. What does she do for you? Who said she do anything for me? She my friend. My friend's getting in trouble, I like to help them out. Beaumont worked for you. This you and me talking, you know, like lawyer client thing and you can't tell nothing I say to you. You're not my client till you get busted and I bind you out. Well, we ain't got no, uh, what you call that shit? Confidentiality. Why should I tell you anything? Cuz you want me to know what a slick guy you are. You got stewardesses bringing your 50 grand. And why would a stewardess be bringing me 50 grand? Now you want me to speculate on what you do. I'd say you're in the drug business, except the money's moving in the wrong direction. Whatever you're into, you seem to be getting away with it, so, uh, more power to you. All right. You want another bond? You want to move the 10,000 you got on Beaumont over to the stewardess. That means paperwork. I got to get a death certificate, present it to the court, make out a receipt for return of bond collateral, type up another application, another receipt. Hey, hey, man, Jackie ain't got time for all that shit. Look, I'm telling you what I have to do. What you have to do, in case you forgot, is come up with a premium of a thousand bucks. I can do that. You know I got the money. I just ain't got it with me. Come back when you do. I'll bind out the stewardess. You got to look at this one a little compassion, all right? Jackie ain't no criminal. She ain't used to this kind of treatment. Now, gangsters, they don't give a fuck. But you on your average citizen, a couple of nights in county get the fucking with their mind. Ordell, this isn't a bar. You don't have a tab. Listen to me, all right? You got a 44-year-old gainfully employed black woman falsely accused of falsely accused. She didn't come back from Mexico with cocaine on her. Falsely accused of intent. Now if she had that shit, and mind you, I'm saying if, that was her own personal shit to get high with. Is white guilt supposed to make me forget I'm running a business?

[8:46]Oh, it's like that, huh?

[8:52]All right. I got you a little thousand bucks.
