01:01 You?
01:02 - Don't you ever get tired of looking over your shoulder
01:04 for the cops,
01:04 cops trying to kill you?
01:06 - Yeah, you ain't nothing but a fucking sellout.
01:08 (gunshot)
01:10 - I know this is part of the business,
01:12 but I can't keep moving my daughter around
01:14 at the drop of a dime.
01:15 - Look, you know what you signed up for.
01:18 You want the big bucks?
01:20 This is what you have to do.
01:21 - So something's come up with my job,
01:24 and we're gonna have to move away for a little while.
01:26 - Again?
01:27 I'm afraid so.
01:28 - Can I stay with my dad?
01:33 - Your dad doesn't have a stable place to live right now,
01:36 and you know it'll be a major adjustment to stay with him.
01:39 - I know I haven't always been the best dad,
01:45 but I promise, from now on, I'm gonna put you first.
01:48 I'm man enough to admit it hasn't always been that way.
01:51 Daddy can be very selfish.
01:53 - I know, you don't need to tell me.
01:55 Daddy's working on it, okay?
01:57 - You just gotta keep reaching for the stars, Dre.
02:00 And I'll be right there by your side.
