Austin Butler & Regina King Emotional Confrontation Scene | Caught Stealing (2025)

How many did you see? Three all together, I think. Detective Roman, mind if I use your facilities? You're not allowed to crap at a crime scene. Okay. You have to hold the handle down or it clogs. I know, it'll flush the toilet. Police work at its most glamorous. Oh, hey. Look at that. Hey, kitty. He's a biter. I wouldn't... Oh! ------- man-eater. Yeah, I'm sorry. So, you think you saw three. Can you describe any of them? There were the two Ukrainians who beat me up the other day. And then there was another... How do you know they're Ukrainian? They had accents and little Ukrainians right around the corner. Yeah, no, they're not Ukrainian. Mafia took over that neighborhood years ago. They didn't sound Italian. Russian mafia. More violent than the Italians. Worse food. Oh, great. Hey, you a fan? Or you play? I played. College? Semi-pro? High school. Oh. Thought maybe you played real ball. I played real ball. Uh-huh. What do you know about Mr. Minor's criminal activities? Nothing. Russ? He's not a criminal. How long you been here, Mr. Thompson? Well, eleven years in New York and six, seven years in this place. Long enough to see all the changes. Increased policing, fancy restaurants, gentrification. Yeah. But even with all those changes, you don't get a detective from narcotics here on a bullshit assault and robbery. Narcotics? I'm here because Russ Minor, he's a person of interest in a non-bullshit narcotics investigation. He talk to you about that? No, he just said he had to go see his dad in London. You buy your drugs from Russ? I don't do drugs. You deal drugs with him? No, ma'am. When was the last time you talked to these guys? I don't know those guys. These guys right here, they're scary monsters. Whatever you're doing with them, you should tell me about it before they decide you look better with your eyes cut out. I'm not doing anything with them. Are you messing with me? Kind of ******* with you. Never know where to pop loose. I held it down, but I clogged anyway. I'm done across the hall. You couldn't tell me that before you ruined the citizens plumbing? I had to go. Get the **** out of here. All right, I'm going to ask you a direct question. Are you ******* with me? No, I don't know anything I've got nothing to **** with. What? What? I'm ******* with you again. Never know where to pop loose. But experience tells me you're not telling me something. You think it's something that doesn't matter. But it might. So one more time. Is there anything you want to tell me? I'm really scared. They don't care about you. They put me in a hospital. It's collateral damage. Nothing to worry about. Unless the scary monsters come around. You see them, you call me. All right? How'd your boys do today? They beat the pirates. One game back. My money's on the Mets. Good day, Mr. Thompson. What the ****, bud? What did you eat? You know what I say? Epic quacks. Exactly. That was my point. It's an honor. Hello? What are you doing? Double park. The man found something important. So just call me or I'll take it safe here. I'll call you back. Hey, man. Hey, Paul. Oh, Lennox Lewis is in the house, man. Here, have a drink. No, no, I can't drink. I need a favor. Oh, **** favors. **** it. Let's toast to the Giants, okay? Giants! Giants! Giants! Don't ditch your favorite team, man. What are you waiting for? I just won! Seriously. Ross, what the **** did you get me into, man? Scary monsters and super creeps. Hey! Hey, we taking shots? Hey, you call me back when you get this, man. Rick! Hey, Barkeep, another brew here. **** off. All right. Self-service, here we go. The Giants come to town. All right, come on, let's go. Get the **** out of here. You sure you don't want to get him another drink? We were just having some fun. What the **** up, Paul? One on third, he breaks for home. It's going to be close. All right, home base is this way, superstar. Superstar? Come on, baby, get out of the street. Let's get you home. You think that's funny? You want me to face my fears, but you think that's funny? What? What is it you're trying to say? I had so much. It was right here. And then... Okay. So you tell me, how do I face that? How do I face when I had so much, and now all I have is garbage? Garbage. Oh, baby. I didn't mean you. Yeah, I'm done babysitting tonight. Come on, baby. Harry, my boy. ****.
