00:00Right now, I think we gotta pump the brakes.
00:02I mean, we're just kicking it anyway, right?
00:04It's a cafe.
00:04Cafe boo.
00:05I need you to put that on the airwaves.
00:07Get it bubbling in these streets.
00:09I'm here to move weight.
00:10So what I do is who I am.
00:12So what the fuck am I doing here?
00:13You're throwing them back fast.
00:14It's a ball, right?
00:15Throwing them back is what you do in a ball.
00:17Think of the good times, too.
00:19Please.
00:20Right.
00:20Kel Thomas, Special Agent Preston Tanner.
00:23I'd like you to come in for a conversation.
00:25I'm gonna have to call my lawyer.
00:26I'm the big dog, nigga.
00:27Running your fucking mouth to Pinesse ain't no big dog shit.
00:31That's bitch shit!
00:38I heard about our friend, Yannick.
00:40I'm sorry.
00:41I'm gonna step into what he started with you.
00:43Take it over.
00:43Let's give it the old college try.
00:45Yannick's gone, and he ain't coming back.
00:47Now we do business.
00:48If we do this, it's you and me.
00:50The cousin isn't involved, and no one else can know.
00:53Time to go to work.
00:54This right here is about knowing that I win every fucking day.
00:57Your mom's is fucking with our investment.
01:00She need to be handled.
01:05I told you not to ever fuck with my family.
01:07You don't tell me shit, little boy.
01:11I know Ronnie had a...
01:12The math is real easy on this.
01:15It's either Marvin, or it's you, me, and Kanan.
01:17You added shit up all wrong.
01:19The feds on you, not me.
01:20Ronnie, it's Kanan.
01:22I want my son back safe.
01:23What does Ronnie want for the boy?
01:25Five.
01:26That cruddy-ass nigga want $500,000?
01:29I got your money.
01:30Now give me my son.
01:31Ain't nobody kidnap me, ma.
01:33Y'all been sad.
01:34You and Ronnie in on this together?
01:36Throw that over here.
01:39It's just all you, ma.
01:41I'm a hustler, baby.
01:46I'm a hustler, baby.
01:48I know heartbreaks, setbacks.
01:51Bitch, if I crap out and show I'ma get back.
01:53I've been through the ups and downs.
01:55You know I get around.
01:56So to me, it's all a part of the game.
01:58If I ain't the cold man or the dope man,
02:01I'm almost for sure, man.
02:02I gotta take it.
02:03I don't need to say shit.
02:04I'm gonna take it.
02:06Barbary's turned homicid.
02:07There's nothing to play with.
02:09Make money, make, make, make money.
02:11When shit hit, the fan will take money.
02:13South side.
02:14Be with the best of them done.
02:16Shout at the rest of them.
02:17Yeah.
02:17Checks I'm collecting.
02:18Them check, boy, I'm finessing.
02:19I beg some bread.
02:20Boy, you fuck around.
02:21Put a big bag on your head for the one to break your head.
02:24Let's get to it.
02:25They don't do it like we do it.
02:27Cop it, whip it, bag it, flip it.
02:30We up, we up.
02:31Beat up, what up?
02:32Running around this bitch, still not giving a fuck.
02:35When it come to that paper,
02:36there'll be no complications.
02:39Ha ha, that's right.
02:40Put a hole in the nigga right in front of you.
02:42Your heartbeat pacing.
02:43And it's so right.
02:45That's how we do it on this side.
02:47Niggas get to it on this side.
02:49I know heartbreaks, setbacks.
02:52Bitch, if I cramp out, I'm sure I'm gonna get back.
02:54I've been through the ups and downs.
02:56You know I get around.
02:57So to me, it's all a part of the game.
02:59If I ain't the cold man or the dope man,
03:02I'm almost a show man.
03:03I gotta take it.
03:04Don't need to say shit.
03:05I'm gonna take it.
03:07Probably just time to homicide.
03:08There's nothing to play with.
03:09Hey, hey.
03:10Hey, hey, hey.
03:19Before you can figure out where you've gone,
03:22you gotta look back at where you've been.
03:25And you gotta look real close.
03:28Because you miss shit.
03:30Forget details.
03:31There's things that happened that seem like they didn't mean nothing at the time.
03:38But then you realize they mean everything.
03:40That's why you gotta look back.
03:43Because now that you see where you at,
03:45you gotta understand how the fuck you got there.
03:47look at that thing.
03:48I don't think so.
03:49I don't think so.
03:49Look at that's why we go.
03:51Yeah.
03:51Look at everybody.
03:52Look at the thousands.
03:52There.
03:53They see.
03:53Up to indo by at the end,
03:55some night.
03:59There is nothing.
04:12I don't think so.
04:13I don't know.
04:43I need a fucking doctor, man.
04:53I'm all fucked up.
04:56You're early.
04:58I need some coke.
05:13I'm all fucked up.
05:43You don't even know how you still alive, boy.
05:52You've been worked the fuck over.
05:55Been worked over three motherfucking times.
05:58Damn.
05:59Come on, fam.
06:18There he is.
06:19Come on.
06:20Stay.
06:21Stay.
06:22Stay.
06:23Be careful.
06:26Be careful.
06:27You give.
06:35Everything you've seen here happen already.
06:43But we didn't peep it the way we needed to
06:47Because we wasn't looking
06:48Let me get a water
07:02Yo, Drew
07:05Let me get at you
07:08I'm sorry that I missed your audition

07:24I'm trying to figure my shit out
07:27I like your spot

08:07Nicole, aye

10:08Body
10:09I got to see what they got.
10:11Can't have you bringing me back
10:12no nasty-ass mounds bar or some shit.
10:15I'll wait for you outside.
10:22Who's this?
10:26You sure he want to talk to me
10:28and not my sister instead?
10:34All right.
10:37I'll come through then.
10:39I'll come through then.
11:09I'll come through then.
11:25He's seriously injured, aren't we?
11:27I can't x-ray him here,
11:29but I'm betting he has multiple skull fractures.
11:31I ain't his daddy.
11:32I don't fucking care about all that.
11:34All I need to know is whether he gonna live long enough
11:36to pay for services provided.
11:37He'll survive, but recovery from head trauma like this
11:39is long and difficult.
11:41I mean, he's gonna need constant care and monitoring.
11:43Someone in his condition should be in a rehabilitation facility
11:48where he can recover while under the care of a full medical staff.
11:52That shit ain't gonna happen.
11:53We often see significant personality changes
11:57in people with these kinds of brain injuries.
11:58Can you speak normal, nigga?
12:00Because I don't get all that doctor needs you spitting.
12:02When he wakes up,
12:04he could be different than who he was before.
12:06It's not unusual for people with this kind of injury
12:09to experience significant bouts of anxiety, even rage.
12:13Like I said, doc,
12:14I need to know the fool gonna give me my money.
12:17Because I came straight out of pocket
12:18for your fucking time tonight,
12:20and it sound like my work ain't done.
12:22Jetting you your money
12:23is gonna be the least of your friends' problems.
12:36Look, while you seem to be out of their crosshairs,
12:39I can't say the same for everybody else in your circle.
12:42The FBI doesn't like to leave a party empty-handed.
12:45Frankly, there's no depths to which
12:47they won't stoop to get an indictment.
12:49You and your family need to keep your side of the streets
12:52squeaky clean for the foreseeable future.
12:55Let's also acknowledge tonight for the wind that it is.
12:58Right now, at this moment,
12:59they have nothing at all on you
13:01or anyone else in your circle,
13:03which is inarguably and undeniably good news.
13:07I'll be in touch.
13:09Have a good night.
13:10You too.
13:15My blocks.
13:33All of them.
13:37I didn't step the fuck off.
13:39I won't be in touch.
13:49Tell them.
13:51I won't go best to romanticize the end of its duty.
13:53I won't be in touch with you but I'll never have to.
13:55I won't be in touch with you.
13:55I won't live as one can be in touch with you.
13:57I won't do my whole life anymore.
13:59I'm sure you were surprised to hear from me.
14:17Never met you face-to-face like this before.
14:23Heard good things from my sister, though.
14:25Well, I was really impressed with your work with our pal from Jersey.
14:29I wanted to put a name to her face.
14:31Hey, by the way, that job executed flawlessly.
14:36Felt like I could have tightened it up in a couple spots, but I appreciate the kind words.
14:41Hey, you're wondering why I reached out to you.
14:44And the answer is twofold, my friend.
14:49First off, as discussed, you are a true professional.
14:55I mean, in a business that is sorely lacking in that particular area.
15:00And secondly, as was the case with our late comrade in Newark, I have a job that demands a little bit of distance and some cover for me.
15:11You need me to do more work for you.
15:14My daughter, Paulette, her new husband, Tommaso, he's embarrassing her and me.
15:21And that's unacceptable.
15:23Problem is, Tommaso's a main guy, so I can't have one of my own guys go over there and knock some much-needed sense into him.
15:30That's against the rules.
15:31You mafia guys seem to find a whole lot of ways around the rules, though.
15:35Well, yeah.
15:36It's not so much the letter of the law as it is the spirit, if you know what I'm saying.
15:42Anyway, this piece of shit, Tommaso, you know, he's running around with my daughter, which, in and of itself, it's nothing into the world.
15:52It happens to the best of us.
15:53But the issue is, Tommaso's doing it in such a public way that it's insulting to my family.
16:01And that's where I come in.
16:03Now, look, this is gonna have to be between the two of us.
16:06That's why I didn't contact your sister.
16:09I don't like mixing my businesses.
16:11It confuses the conversations.
16:14Rock, ain't the king of me.
16:16I got my own life and my own interests.
16:21I do what I do.
16:23A man after my own heart, huh?
16:26All right.
16:27So we're agreed.
16:28Now, you'll set my son-in-law straight for me, and we'll keep this to ourselves.
16:36You give me that information.
16:38I'm gonna roll up on that sucker and see what he's talking about.
16:40Marvin, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
16:46I know I say this to you every time that we meet, but I just cannot help but remember
16:55when you were in the 10th grade, and I encouraged you to take the test to go to Stuyvesant.
17:01That seems like another lifetime ago.
17:05Things tonight are supposed to, Dr. West.
17:09Our lives are what we make of them, Kanan.
17:12And your grades are what you make of them.
17:14Which is why you're here.
17:20Ms. Torell tells me that if you don't turn on your research paper on one of your grandparents
17:24before the end of the semester, you'll fail her class.
17:27Which will put you in violation of the terms set forth by the social worker
17:30who's managing your court case.
17:32I told Ms. Torell I'd do a paper.
17:35I just wanted to do it on something else.
17:37I ain't really got no grandparents to write about.
17:39I spoke to your mother, who says that both your grandmother and your late grandfather
17:45have wonderful histories you could explore.
17:49You don't get to decide what work you're assigned, Kanan.
17:53This paper has to get done.
17:56Immediately.
17:57Understood?
18:00Understood.
18:01This is for the pain, but he really should be in a hospital early.
18:22He ain't going nowhere.
18:23I don't know who did this to him, and I don't know if they still out there waiting to finish
18:27the damn job.
18:28Just last week, we had a German Shepherd who got hit by a car and had similar head
18:33trauma.
18:34When the dog finally regained consciousness, he turned vicious.
18:38Gave one of my nurses stitches.
18:39We had to put him down.
18:41Last time I checked, this fucked up nigga ain't a German Shepherd.
18:45He paying me for safety and security, and that's what he getting.
18:48You may be keeping him secure, but I can't say that this is safe.
18:54Hell no.
19:09You can't write about my family.
19:11You don't even know them.
19:12That's why I'm trying to learn, man.
19:15I mean, they my grandparents too, right?
19:17Could be good for me to know who they are.
19:19Why don't you just write about your mother's parents, bud?
19:21Nah, then I gotta talk to her.
19:23And I'm really not about that right now.
19:27You can't write about my peoples.
19:32What if somebody put two and two together?
19:35Start asking questions.
19:37Realize you ain't Def Con's son.
19:39You want people to know you a cop's kid?
19:44Look, I haven't given up on you and me.
19:47I'm still thinking maybe we can connect, be something to each other.
19:54I mean, we ain't there yet.
19:57Maybe we can get there.
19:59I'm hoping we can get there.
20:02But you writing some history paper about my family?
20:05I just ain't smart, chum.
20:12I gotta get back to work.
20:15Hey, yo, for future reference,
20:17showing up to my place of business
20:18is probably not the brightest idea you ever had.
20:20Aisha never stops raving about you, Jukebox.
20:35Which is a nickname I absolutely love.
20:38And I need to know the origin of it.
20:40Thank you for having me.
20:42And Jukebox is what my family called me
20:44because I was always singing when I was young.
20:48What do your parents do, Jukebox?
20:52Actually, my mom's passed kind of recently.
20:55Aisha told us, and we're sorry about that.
21:02And my dad, he does a whole lot of different things.
21:06Juke's dad is so cool.
21:08He's been to a few of our rehearsals
21:09and says the funniest stuff.
21:12My dad always talking.
21:14So, what are your plans for next year, Jukebox?
21:18Where are you thinking about going to college?
21:20Can Juke just enjoy her dinner
21:24without being interrogated by you guys?
21:28Right now, I'm kind of just focused on butter, I guess.
21:32Seeing where that goes.
21:35Well, this singing group
21:37is a wonderful extracurricular activity for you girls,
21:39but it's a diversion.
21:41It's a lark.
21:42Wow.
21:43Thanks for stomping on our hopes and dreams, mom and dad.
21:47We are not stomping on anything.
21:49Okay.
21:50Last time I checked,
21:51you've been dreaming of going to Spelman
21:53since you were eight years old.
21:55I'm just saying,
21:56not everybody has to have the same dreams.
22:00I'm quite certain Jukebox wants a bright future for herself.
22:05Right?
22:06Wait.
22:06I want to do it in the car again.
22:23I don't know.
22:44Oh, ho!
22:45This nigga don't give a fuck at all.
23:03Does the father know?
23:05No.
23:07Are you planning on telling him?
23:10He's dead.
23:11Sorry.
23:13Is that why you're terminating the pregnancy?
23:15I ain't got no room for another kid in my life right now.
23:18Just so you're aware, you are going to need to meet with one of the clinic's social workers when you return for your follow-up.
23:25We are just as concerned about your emotional well-being as we are about your physical health.
23:30Let's get the schedule.
23:39Yo, early.
23:41Give me the keys to one of them rides, man.
23:44Just where the fuck you think you're going?
23:48I gotta let Vanessa and Jerome know I'm alive.
23:52Doc says you in the danger zone.
23:54Need to stay your ass in bed.
23:56I'm paying you to do what the fuck I tell you to do, nigga.
24:00You ain't paying me shit, boy.
24:02I'm still waiting on my fucking money.
24:04Give me the keys.
24:06This fool won't get behind the wheel.
24:22Can't even walk across my damn bitch.
24:24Clown-ass motherfuckers, man.
24:39Special occasion over here.
24:41From the President of the United States.
24:44It's not often my grandson comes calling.
24:51So, to what do I owe this pleasure?
24:55Because you know I love seeing you any chance I get.
24:58Yeah, I'm sorry I haven't come over more often.
25:00I just, I've been caught up with the school stuff and...
25:02Uh-uh, you don't ever need to apologize to me, baby.
25:08I'm not your mother.
25:09I don't put expectations and demands on you.
25:15Look, I got this assignment.
25:18Got to write a research paper on one of my grandparents.
25:22I was thinking I'd write it on Grandpa Elijah.
25:26Like, I done heard so many stories about him,
25:28but I don't know the other story,
25:31if you know what I'm saying.
25:33I know exactly what you're saying.
25:35And I think it's a great idea.
25:37You should know more about your grandfather.
25:40Because he would have loved you, Canaan.
25:44You have that same spirit he had.
25:48That same belief in yourself.
25:51Look, your grandfather did what he did
25:53because he didn't like his life
25:55and the world around him.
25:57He didn't like me much, neither.
26:01But for most of his life,
26:03he believed he could do anything
26:05he set his mind to.
26:07That's why he had so many jobs
26:08and interests and passions.
26:10Elijah was capable and skilled
26:13and brilliant.
26:18Just like you.
26:20I appreciate that.
26:22You have to thank me, baby.
26:24I'm your grandma.
26:25I'm supposed to pile praise on you.
26:27I'm going to tell you my point of view
26:32of your grandfather.
26:33And your mother and your uncles,
26:35they're going to tell you something different.
26:36So I'm not saying I'm right about all this.
26:38I'm just saying
26:39this is how I remember him.
26:43Got your pencil and paper?
26:44Elijah Thomas was born in 1925
26:59in Clinch County, Georgia.
27:02His daddy, Charles,
27:06worked on the railroads.
27:08His mama, Ruth,
27:10did laundry for white folks.
27:12Yo, Tomas.
27:38You lost?
27:42My bad.
27:43Um, this fall green?
27:46Not even close.
27:47You got off on the wrong exit, boy.
27:50Maybe so.
27:51I've never been good with directions.
27:54Hmm.
27:55All right, well,
27:56here's something you should follow.
27:58Get the fuck back in your car right now,
28:00and we won't make you eat the fucking curb.
28:03Okay?
28:05My bad.
28:06I was expecting you to say
28:07that I should make a left at the light
28:09and then my second ride or some shit.
28:10But y'all,
28:15y'all crackers got different maps out here, I see.
28:19Y'all have a good night.
28:30It's fucking cool.
28:31I mean, does this look like Fort Greene?
28:33I don't see no monkeys swinging
28:35from the fucking trees, do you?
28:37Come here.
28:37What are you doing?
28:39No, you like that?
28:40No, you like that.
28:47The doctor will walk you through
28:49the actual step-by-step process, but...
28:51Ain't my first time.
28:53Oh.
28:54I didn't see that in your chart.
28:56It was an off-the-books type thing
28:57when I was a lot younger.
29:00I'll let the doctor know,
29:02and I'll see you in the recovery room.
29:10Does it hurt?
29:25I've been waiting on me...
29:26She's uncomfortable as all.
29:29I've been waiting on me...
29:31Those needs.
29:40You wanna drop your jaw or yell or some shit?
29:42Do what you gotta do.
29:43Because I know shit's gotta be a shock.
29:46I mean, it's...
29:47It's a surprise.
29:50It's a surprise that I was carrying the baby
29:52of the nigga I was trying to kill for years.
29:54Come on, Juke.
29:54You gotta give me something better than that.
29:57Okay.
29:59It's a shock.
29:59I can't even believe it.
30:06Like, I don't even know what to say.
30:10Not someone like it.
30:13Of course, you gotta keep this shit to yourself.
30:18To the grave, Juke.
30:20No doubt.
30:24Truth is, I can't even believe this shit myself.
30:29I can't believe none of you.
30:37Did you love him?
30:40I think I could of him.
30:59This elephant-man-looking motherfucker
31:13eating solid food.
31:18Just give me a couple more days.
31:20I'm gonna be ready to circle back on my brother.
31:24Settle this fucking school.
31:26You don't wanna do all that right now.
31:31Like, I keep saying,
31:33I don't give a fuck
31:35about what you think I should
31:37or I shouldn't do, Early.
31:40Just hear me out, nigga.
31:43You got a damn superpower at the moment, man.
31:46You're invisible.
31:48Everybody think you're dead and gone.
31:49Why you wanna go and fuck all that up?
31:52Let the dust settle.
31:54They back in the cut.
31:55See who comes to fill that hole you left behind.
31:57Because whoever stepped in behind
31:59had a hand in taking you out in the first place.
32:02I don't need to let nothing settle.
32:05Because I already know who did it.
32:08It was my own fucking brother, man.
32:11But maybe he had somebody behind him.
32:14It's a big move for a nigga to make dolo.
32:17Look, point is,
32:19element of surprise
32:21is the biggest advantage there is.
32:23And you got that shit in spades right now.
32:29All I'm saying,
32:30you ain't pay me shit.
32:32So I gotta protect my investment.
32:34My investment is you, nigga.
32:36You get took out,
32:38I want my money done in with you.
32:39Well, I'm gonna need you
32:42to do some recon for me now.
32:46See what niggas is talking about out there.
32:50I need to understand
32:51the lay of the fucking land.
32:55Trust me when I say this.
32:58Just because I'm invisible right now
33:00don't mean you ain't gonna see
33:03your fucking money early.
33:09Every debt I owe is gonna get paid.
33:14Every fucking one.
33:16You just gave up, man.
33:28Your grandfather threw up his damn hands
33:30and checked the fuck out.
33:33Didn't think about nobody else
33:34when he did it, neither.
33:34Cause him being gone
33:36meant me
33:36having to step up
33:38and be daddy to your moms
33:39and uncle.
33:41Couldn't be no kid no more.
33:43Cause I had to raise Rock and Lou.
33:45Had to help out any way I could.
33:52What your grandfather did
33:53was selfish, man.
33:57And weak.
33:58To him, it felt like
34:00it answered all his problems.
34:02But all he did
34:03was leave them problems behind.
34:06And some new ones, too,
34:07for the rest of us to figure out.
34:10So you don't have
34:11no good memories of him then?
34:16Of course I do.
34:19I love that nigga, man.
34:21He was my father.
34:25That's why it hurt so bad.
34:28That's why I stay hurt.
34:36Man,
34:37I remember when he was
34:39prize fighting.
34:41That's when your mom was still young
34:42and Lou was a baby.
34:44He'd take me to his fights
34:45and I'd see him put fools
34:47on their backs.
34:50You know what that's like
34:51for a little nigga?
34:53Seeing his pops
34:54do that to another man?
34:55I remember it felt like
34:59his muscles
35:01was my muscles.
35:02Like nobody
35:03could fuck with me.
35:08See,
35:09I love them most
35:12out of everybody.
35:14which is why
35:19I can't
35:22never forgive them.
35:23three weeks of picking.
35:37Wait till I get my hands
35:38on that company now.
35:40Oh, man.
35:41Wow, this is really good.
35:43Well, here I am.
35:43It's all rock out there.
35:46She picked up all the work, man.
35:51And she moving out of
35:52that old Chinese spot
35:53that she was fucking with, too.
35:56Yeah, I can't say for sure,
35:58but it's also sounding like
36:00she getting her supply
36:01from your old connect.
36:03This bitch tell me
36:03she done
36:04and now she got my work.
36:11She let me get shit up
36:12and running
36:12just so she could take it from me.
36:14And your brother
36:18fucking with Rock's kid, too.
36:20Ronnie and that boy
36:21working together.
36:33So you was right then, huh?
36:36Rock had Ronnie's back.
36:38They're conspiring
36:39against me and shit.
36:44Canaan had Ronnie
36:46take me out for his mom's
36:48so she could check my work.
36:51I mean,
36:52you jumping to
36:53a lot of conclusions, Dad,
36:54but some of it
36:55sound like it could be real.
36:57It's her fucking son, nigga.
36:59That motherfucker
37:00don't wipe his nose
37:01without her say-so.
37:03They all working together
37:04against me, man.
37:06Rock do this
37:07for every nigga
37:08she's ever been with.
37:09From DEFCON
37:10to high posts.
37:14She plays them
37:15and she takes
37:15what they got.
37:17That's how she do.
37:18You ain't been a man
37:20like that.
37:25Yo,
37:26you got a gat.
37:28What's what
37:29you gonna do with it?
37:30Hold it, nigga.
37:31Hold it, nigga.
38:01this bitch
38:12think I'm dead.
38:16I ain't never
38:17been motherfucking alive.
38:27What'd your mom
38:27say about your grandpa?
38:28I ain't really
38:30talked, huh?
38:33Ain't you back home
38:34because of the school shit?
38:36That don't mean
38:36me and her talking.
38:39But look,
38:40I'm still learning shit
38:41about your grandfather
38:41that I didn't know.
38:43But here's something
38:44your moms and grandmom
38:45don't understand
38:46about your grandpa.
38:48Nigga was a creator.
38:52He'd take nothing,
38:53turn it into something.
38:54He was real good
38:56with his hands.
38:58We used to make
38:58a lot of the furniture
38:59we had up in the crib.
39:01And I know you know
39:02he was a hell of a horn
39:03player.
39:05Yeah.
39:05Oh.
39:06Make a blow, boy.
39:07I mean,
39:09he'd get lost
39:09in this shit.
39:12He closed his eyes,
39:14he'd blow that horn,
39:16and he was
39:16a million miles away.
39:19Somebody better
39:20than here.
39:21He always worked
39:22for himself.
39:23He was his own
39:24fucking man.
39:25Never licked
39:25no nigga boots,
39:26never took no shit
39:27from nobody.
39:29Wish I could say
39:30the fucking same
39:30about myself.
39:31You know,
39:35I used to be
39:35real angry at him
39:36for leaving us
39:36like he did.
39:38To die up
39:39in my bed at night,
39:41screaming to my pillows
39:42so no one can hear me.
39:45Raging at that motherfucker.
39:48When I'm older, though,
39:52I understand him better.
39:56I understand why
39:57he did what he did
39:57better, too.
39:58Death gotta be easy, kid.
40:03Because life
40:04is fucking hard.
40:17Yo, Mikey.
40:18Sorry about that check.
40:19I thought you saw me coming.
40:21No, you didn't.
40:22You're right, I didn't.
40:24Fuck you, Tomasso.
40:25Oh, don't get your
40:26panties in a bunch.
40:27You're fine.
40:28Who the dumb
40:37old-fay motherfucker
40:38staying out
40:39in some brick-ass coal,
40:41peeped the fucking
40:42sheet of ice
40:42and thought, yo,
40:43let's slide around
40:45on that shit.
40:46Fucking sticks
40:47in our hands.
40:49I got off
40:49on the right exit
40:50this time, my boy.
40:52Who the fuck are you?
40:53You've been disrespecting
40:57your wife with that
40:58other bitch.
40:59I'm here to tell you
41:00to knock that shit off.
41:01You following my
41:02directions, nigga?
41:04Say it out loud,
41:05motherfucker!
41:06All right, I hear you.
41:11Yeah.
41:13You're dead.
41:14You're dead.
41:14What are you doing?
41:23What are you doing?
41:39Working on this paper
41:40on Grandpa Elisha.
41:42Yeah, school called me on that.
41:44I meant to talk to you about it,
41:45but I got caught up
41:46in other things.
41:50So you got no questions
41:51for me about your grandfather?
41:53I mean, you know
41:54I was his favorite.
41:55I talked to Grandma,
41:56Uncle Marvin,
41:57and Uncle Lou.
41:58They gave me what I needed.
42:07You know, it don't matter
42:08to me what you think of me,
42:09Kenan.
42:11It don't matter to me
42:11at all.
42:12I don't need you to love me
42:15for me to love you back.
42:22You understand what I'm saying?
42:25I love you
42:26so much.
42:31Don't matter if you hate me.
42:42I don't need you to love me.
42:44I don't need you to love me.
42:45I don't need you to love me.
42:45I don't need you to love me.
42:46I don't need you to love me.
42:47I don't need you to love me.
42:47I don't need you to love me.
42:48I don't need you to love me.
42:49I don't need you to love me.
42:49I don't need you to love me.
42:50I don't need you to love me.
42:51I don't need you to love me.
42:52I don't need you to love me.
42:53I don't need you to love me.
42:54I don't need you to love me.
42:55I don't need you to love me.
42:56I don't need you to love me.
42:57I don't need you to love me.
42:58I don't need you to love me.
42:59I don't need you to love me.
43:00I'm so happy to hear from you, Laverne.
43:27I just wanted to say thank you for telling me about that audition.
43:29I decided to try out after all, and I got picked for the group.
43:35Oh, my gosh!
43:39That is such wonderful news.
43:43Oh, I am so happy for you.
43:48Nicole would be so happy for you.
43:52Wow, but I thought you said you were tired of singing,
43:54that you didn't want to do it anymore.
43:56Yeah.
43:58I thought I'd give it a shot.
44:00I owe it to myself, I guess.
44:01Well, what you did, and you do,
44:04I'm so proud for you.
44:08Thanks.
44:09Here you go, honey.
44:11There was something I wanted to ask you.
44:13Please.
44:14I remember Nicole saying to me one time that you were in the Army back in the day?
44:18Hmm.
44:19I was just wondering what that was like and how you felt about it and all that.
44:23Are you thinking about enlisting in the military?
44:27It's something I'm considering.
44:30Hmm.
44:30Well, I was on an ROTC scholarship in college, which requires four years of service after graduation.
44:37I served in the intelligence branch.
44:38And, you know, for me, the service helped.
44:42It taught me discipline, commitment, kind of given me some direction that I lacked.
44:47But, you know, the Army's not for everyone.
44:49Well, ROTC's a very conservative institution, especially when it comes to certain societal issues.
45:01But look, you're going to be a huge pop star.
45:05So you're not going to have time for anything else.
45:08Tell me about the group.
45:09It's called Butter with an A.
45:13Ooh, Butter with an A.
45:15I love it.
45:16I'm going to buy 20 copies of the record just because of the name alone.
45:22Butter.
45:22Yeah.
45:24Wow.
45:25Wow.
45:25I'm so proud of you.
45:35You ain't open yet.
45:37Not here for a drink, Lou.
45:41Oh, shit.
45:43It's Jess.
45:45It's me.
45:49Fame told me you was working here a while ago.
45:51I like it.
45:54No, you don't.
45:55It ain't high post enough for you.
45:57I'm still a Southside Jamaica girl, Lou.
45:59I won't ever change.
46:01That Cali life look good on you, though.
46:03It never rains over there.
46:05It feels like you're always on vacation.
46:07So I can use a vacation.
46:09You can do big things in L.A.
46:11And what?
46:12Leave all this behind.
46:20I heard about Crown.
46:22Crown, yeah.
46:23That niggas dirt finally caught up to him.
46:25And they still don't know who did it.
46:27Crown was the only crazy loot to a lot of people.
46:29Anyway, I'm in town for a minute, just doing some label meetings.
46:37Family doesn't even know I'm here, but I wanted to stop by and see you.
46:41Now you've seen me.
46:42You know, I tell the people I work with about you all the time.
46:53I'm always talking about how talented and smart you are.
46:58How one day we all going to be working for Lou Thomas.
47:00Anyway, I've got to get going.
47:09But I'll be back in New York soon, so I'll come through and see you.
47:15What, though?
47:17It'll be okay, too.
47:17You know, one day you're going to have to forgive yourself for all this shit
47:23that wasn't even your fault in the first place.
47:38I miss you.
47:47Man, you got us out here all day and night delivering shit.
47:54You got to make it worth our while.
47:56We need more money.
47:57So to all the niggas, since you went here,
48:00to negotiate with me for they fucking races.
48:03They know I'm about business.
48:05I'm paying y'all way more than Paul was hitting you off for his courier shit.
48:09But Paul was only working us nine to five, Monday to Friday.
48:12You got us out here 24-7.
48:14You making 24-7 money?
48:17Ain't enough.
48:17All right, I'll run some numbers.
48:22I'll get back to y'all and I'll see what's going on.
48:25Word.
48:26I'll let the crew know.
48:31Anybody always wants some.
48:34Shit never had.
48:35You can't ever control the money coming in.
48:38You can only control what's going on.
48:42What the fuck you know about it, Chris?
48:44My father owned a health food store.
48:46And before he bounced on us, he was always telling me this stuff.
48:51What else you'll follow if I have to say?
48:53If everyone else go in one way, you go the other.
48:56Because that's where the opportunity is.
49:01Where did you get that shit?
49:02A cereal box or something?
49:08Hello?
49:10Grandma, where are you?
49:11I'm on the way.
49:18This is my grandmother.
49:20She at the hospital.
49:21I gotta go.
49:21I'll get at you later.
49:22Well, you want me to come with you?
49:23Come on, mama.
49:30Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit here.
49:32Write this down for size, huh?
49:34Yeah, let me light it for you.
49:38Yeah, there you go.
49:39There you go.
49:40Hey, so, Tommaso, you just booked a cruise to the Bahamas for him and Paulette.
49:48So, whatever you said did the trick.
49:51I just told him a good woman's hard to find.
49:55Hey, so's a dismembered body.
49:59Hey, Marvin, I owe you one.
50:01And believe me, that's great news for you.
50:03You must be the grandson.
50:22Yeah?
50:22I'll let you two talk.
50:30Grandma, what happened?
50:32I fainted.
50:33It's no big deal.
50:36Happens at my age.
50:38They're going to discharge me in about an hour or so, which is why I called you.
50:42I could use a little help getting home.
50:45Hey, of course.
50:51Why did you faint, though?
50:54This boy always asks the right questions.
50:59Your grandmother has kidney cancer.
51:01The treatment makes me weak sometimes, which is what happened today.
51:07But I'm okay.
51:09Like I said, they're letting me go home.
51:11You're the only one in the family who knows.
51:23You're the only one in the family who knows.
51:26And I'd like to keep it that way.
51:28I don't want everyone coming around, making this about themselves and all their problems with their mother.
51:37I'm asking you to keep this to yourself.
51:52I got you.
51:53I know.
51:59Lewis.
52:17You can't drive like this.
52:23You give me those keys and let me drive this shit to a fucking street.
52:33I'm not letting you do that.
52:37Over here.
52:40All right.
52:42In we go.
52:44All right.
52:44Get a step.
52:46There we go.
52:48All right.
52:49Now we've got to step here.
52:51That's it.
52:53That's it.
52:55That's it.
52:56So, how are you feeling?
52:58Your feelings, that is.
53:01How are your feelings feeling?
53:03They fine.
53:04I'm fine.
53:13Your chart says that the father is recently deceased.
53:17I'm sure that makes for some complicated emotions.
53:21Well, the only thing that makes it complicated is conversations like this.
53:24That kind of a loss, coupled with a terminated pregnancy, is a lot to grapple with.
53:30Everybody losing something every day.
53:32Time, money, people.
53:33It all comes and goes.
53:35And you can fight that shit all you want.
53:36Cry about how it ain't fair, but ain't gonna change shit.
53:40You expecting me to kick and scream about what I gave up here and what I lost before, but I don't do that.
53:47That ain't me.
53:48It ain't never gonna be me.
53:50Spend time crying about what you lost.
53:52You never get shit.
53:54And I'm gonna get mine.
53:57You could be goddamn sure of that.
54:01My feelings is good.
54:04Nobody need to worry about them, and nobody need to worry about me.
54:11I appreciate you, Tom.

54:31Let's go.
55:02Now here we are, back where the fuck we started.
55:08See, you thought you knew everything, but turns out you didn't.
55:14Because nobody know everything, and it's better that way.
55:18Because if you knew everything, you'd know too much.
55:24You know how many times you've been lied to, how many times you done lied to yourself.
55:31You know how many times you came close to dying, and how many times you almost made somebody die.
55:39And knowing about them lies and dying, that ain't no fucking way to live.
55:44I'm trying to tease the poor.
