A Brief History of Seven Killings

Weeper is in Bushwick. A woman is yelling at him, saying that a nearby “crack ho” offered to give her 12-year-old son a blowjob in exchange for his pocket money. Weeper never has any problems with the East Village, but is always having to deal with issues in Bushwick. He speaks to one of the spotters, a young boy called Romeo who tells him that the runners and guards have mostly disappeared to find other work. He adds: “Your dealers ain’t dealing.” Weeper panics over the fact that Josey is going to be there in a few hours. Meanwhile the mother is still following Weeper around, complaining.   

Weeper tells one of his men to check out what’s happening inside the house. Eventually Weeper slaps the mother who won’t stop talking at him. He chokes her and tells her to get lost. Weeper goes inside the house and finds one of his dealers lying on the ground, smoking crack. He tells the dealer to get up, and he replies that he won’t take orders from a “faggot” with a hickey on his neck. Weeper shoots him in the head. The woman who tried to give the little boy a blowjob enters and tries to take the dead dealer’s pipe, but he points his gun at her and she flees. Weeper puts the crack rocks and pipe in his pocket and tells his man to find the other dealer, as well as Romeo.
