Nora tells Ford if the deal is exposed, she'll let it be known Ford, the mayor and other city officials are all (unknowingly) stock holders that could embarrass everyone. Ford learns Pinks is an FBI undercover, Nora tried to get Jeffrey out of jail (he's Isaac's cousin Jeffrey ends up shot).
Ford begins to put it all together, realizes Nora is isn't black, but a white woman in disguised, and is a business partner with the drug lord, and she's the beneficiary if he dies, with monies in the Cayman Islands.
They learn Nora set up Isaac to be killed, but he and Nora end up killing the assassins, and end up at Nora's for the hot lovin' (when she killed Isaac). Nora points out Isaac at Ford's campaign dinner, saying he's Rupert, and Isaac pretends to be Rupert and accepts a $10,000 cash payment for an unspecified job at 5am. Ford asks Pinks what's going on at 5am, but he doesn't know. Isaac's phone records show his last call was to Ford's office, and he had voicemail there, but Ford lies and claims he had no messages. Two cops check out Isaac's, and they arrive as someone has torched it the cops shoot the fleeing Omen gang-member arsonists. The police chief wants to investigate the shooting, but Ford asks him to wait for the morning. Ford and Pinks talk, and Pinks offers to provide details of Nora and Isaac's meetings. (Ford is upset, as he's also having an affair with Nora.) Ford asks Nora for the truth, and she tells him a story of bribing Isaac to learn more about drug dealings (she prosecutes such cases). Snitch Pinks wants to talk, but only to Ford they chat, and Pinks says Nora has known Isaac for several months and are having an affair, and Pinks was at Nora's to see Isaac. Ford gets the story from Nina of Isaac following her and forcing himself on her.

Later, when he relates how mixed-blood assistant DA Nora Timmer (Jolene Blalock) walked into a room stinking of tangerine-“ripe and ready to be peeled.” It gets worse: At some bourgie party where Isaac is confused for someone else, Nora (whose daddy was the cocoa and whose mama brought the milk) fills the room with her scent of mashed-potato, which doesn’t stop any of the men from wanting to be her-wait for it-gravy! The lengths Wayne Beach’s story goes to in order to cop a feel from The Usual Suspects is as embarrassing as his Showtime aesthetic, but LL Cool J’s ambition to make it sound as if he’s “doin’ it” with every syllable that comes out of his mouth works to campily put the fire out on the film’s offensive pretense to race consciousness.Frank's Spoiled Movie Endings | Slow Burn (2005)ĭA and mayor-candidate Ford is giving reporter Ty an interview when Ford as they sit in traffic (congestion due to a gas leak in the projects, owned by the local drug kingpin), and Ford gets a call that Nina, an Assistant DA, just shot and killed a guy (Isaac) purportedly as he tried to rape her. This is meant to explain why he is prone to saying such lovelies as, “First night she walked in, I still remember it. Luther claims to have some “short in his brain” that messes with the way he processes smell. The wackest film of 2007 stars James Todd Smith-LL Cool J if you’re nasty-as Luther, a record store employee who walks into a police station to defend the honor of his dead homie, Isaac (Mekhi Phifer).
