Original subtitles

- Yo. - That's a kid?

Come here.

What are you doing? He's just a scared kid.

- ! - No me lastimes!

Ticket sales are moving to the Lou.

Yeah, but I think that broker out there need to be replaced.

I think we should talk about doing some business-

without Demetri.

And that Northside squad seemed real strange, Tee.

Your boy Pusha got caught offsides.

Next flag thrown, both teams gon' blitz.

Yeah, yeah. We call her the Slugger.

Keeya like that little sister that live next door.

Why would you fuck around

with someone so close to home? Does Terry know?

Stop!

When was your last period?

How the hell am I supposed to tell Breeze?

Are you sure Breeze is the father?

- Aisha, will you marry me? - Yes.

- Yes? - Yes.

You ain't happy to see me?

I just didn't know you was out.

Got some good news. Got a call from Chuck Campbell.

Tour's back on.

- Aah! - Oh, shit! Shit.

I think it's broken.

Even able to put money on commissary for my old man.

Take care of yourself and your pops.

Get off of me!

My boy Duffy got pinched.

It's gonna be bad for him.

Me and Meech, we real proud to be launchin' this label.

I signed with them.

Y'all really don't know who y'all fuckin' with, do you?

It's Purdy. She got hit.

Amigo.

Everything is gonna be alright, okay?

I know, man. I...

But you just got to stay put right now.

Look. I'm sorry about your father.

You know, I-I miss mi familia, too.

You know?

Like you, man.

Ooh. That shit was better than Duck Hunt.

We got grub, Tee. Where you at?

Hey, boy.

Boy. ¿Dónde está el niño?

Uh, he- he's in the room.

You catch some rabbits, man?

You supposed to be watchin' him.

No boy!

Where the fuck is the boy at, Tee? He could be the Federales.

Meech, I'm not falling for Loco's fairy tales anymore.

That kid needed to get home to his family, just like we do.

- Mentiroso de mierda. - Shit.

Come on, man. Chill, man!

You fucked us!

- Fuck you! - Break this shit up!

Tee, stop, man.

Come on, man!

That's enough.

Tee and I would always be womb to the tomb.

But Mexico was opening my eyes

to how much of a liability he was.

Losing faith in my brother

felt like I was losing a part of myself.

Damn. You a bottomless pit, Tee.

Not more than Stomping Ground.

After buying Purdy out of her contract,

we damn near broke the bank.

We rebrand her and launched her,

only for her to be laid up in a fucking hospital bed.

At least she above ground.

- Man, fuck that. - Yo, derty.

Where this country-ass nigga come from?

Shawn, this is Hoop, my right hand.

Hoop, Shawn's gonna help us with our little Pusha problem.

He keep fuckin' around in the Moors' yards,

which ain't gonna end well for anybody.

War's brewing in the Lou.

With your intel, I already put a plan in play.

Soon as you get home,

Pusha is gonna be out and you gonna be in.

Square biz.

Pusha flipped on every partner he ever had.

You know, he made a play for your plug

after you left the Lou.

So I figure only a matter of time

before he done scalp my head.

Here's the time and address.

Nah. Not if we get to the blade first.

I appreciate you coming through.

How the fuck did that parasite find out about Loco?

You have to make that call, Tee.

No. Fuck that. No, no, no.

I'm not talking to Meech. I'm not dealing with him.

I'm tired of talking to a brick wall, alright?

I'm calling the shots now.

Pops? You okay?

My, um, my hand still hurts.

Don't forget you got to pick up your suit

for Brian's wedding tomorrow.

Maybe a shower will help you feel bet-

I'm gonna sleep for a little longer before I go.

Hurry up! We're gonna be late!

What do you mean, missed?

If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'.

You got that fuckin' right.

You the shooter. How you miss?

Tee, I followed your orders.

Okay, but just as I was taking the shot,

a siren went off and just threw me off course.

Were you spotted?

Did some ear hustlin'.

Pusha blamin' that prison convert, Money Mook.

I mean, I was in and out like a ghost.

And that's exactly what you are to me now.

Are you fucking for real right now?

My wedding's right around the corner.

Yet I hopped on a flight to the Lou for yo' ass.

A'ight. A'ight.

Then look, I-I hope to see you at the wedding.

Hope you still come.

Vee's alive because of you,

so we always gonna be fam because of that.

Shawn said war was brewing.

Then B-Mickie lit that bitch on fire.

If the Moors want Pusha dead,

this might actually work in our favor.

Who the hell are you?

What'd you do, change all the locks in my house?

It sits on ancestral grounds.

It's our birthright,

and everything built on top of it belongs to us.

You know what? I'm gonna call the damn police.

The Great Seal Moors recognize no human authority.

Now remove yourself from my porch

or be buried underneath it.

Purdy.

I wanted to stop by

before I go handle this business in the Lou.

How you feelin'?

I feel like a bullet just tore through my body.

I got guards watching you right now, making sure

the only thing that you focusing on is feeling better.

You'll be performing again before you know it.

I don't think I can get back out there.

Listen to me.

I remember when I was in the same spot,

laid up after I got shot.

I ain't know what way to go.

But you got to have faith that you'll rise above

any circumstance.

I need you to believe in yourself

the way I believe in you.

- Aah. Damn. - Oh, I'm sorry, little sis.

I see you, Laz.

- Shit. Bosses got to eat, too. - You right.

Our operation's really been on cruise control in the A

ever since you stepped up.

Shit. Not anymore.

I mean, the Lou been so hot our drivers had to turn tail.

- That ain't on you. - So what should I do?

- Call Tee? - Man, hell naw, don't call Tee.

So he can go pretending like he teaching me something

with his all-seeing eye?

Plus, Pusha ain't the only king in the Lou.

Seems to me like we could kill two birds with one brick.

Man, I ain't lettin' you go to a war zone alone, man.

Fuck that.

I got Sterl and the PAs from the Lou with me.

I'm good.

I got a surprise for Brian and his bride

that's gon' knock their socks off!

Look, I might crash the wedding for the bouquet toss.

You better tell them heifers to wear some crash pads,

'cause I'ma be knocking 'em...

I got it, cuz.

No, no! Estelle, wait. No. Stop.

- Why? - Stop.

It's the bill collectors.

These vultures have been calling my house all damn day and night.

Lucille Flenory.

You maxed out Nicole's credit card.

Divorce is not cheap.

I mean, Charles has been trying to get us back,

but we are too far behind.

And- and now he's gotten himself hurt.

Can't he at least file for workers' comp?

It's gonna take some time to do that.

I mean, I can't even claim him as a dependent

because of the divorce.

The Lord says that if you give generously,

- you will reap the rewards. - Mm-hmm.

And I feel like I have been waiting my entire life!

Maybe it's time for you to file for welfare.

- Be a taker for a change. - I can't do that, Stel.

With a man living in the house, you can't do it.

All I'm saying is try.

God helps those who help themselves, right?

Remember who you talkin' to.

Yeah. I'll take care of it.

Hey, Tee,

those St. Lou silver arches are bleedin' red,

making it hard to pick up the work.

Shit. We got to whip what we got left.

But that high don't last long. It fucks with our brand.

Yeah, I know, but better that than fuckin' with our bread.

God... You think Meech having the same problem down in ATL?

Yeah.

He probably gon' hear that shit went sideways.

I'ma call him.

I got to check on Purdy and Duffy anyway.

They just got got.

Hey, hold on.

- What up, doe? - Hey. Uh, where you at?

Home.

- How's things at the office? - Shit's fine on my end.

- Why you askin'? - I don't know.

'Cause I built this shit with you?

Um, how about our girl Purdy? She's good?

She's straight, dawg.

Now, any other questions, Johnnie Cochran?

You get any postcards from your boy that went away on vacation?

I ain't expecting any.

He probably got a one-way ticket.

Shit. I hope he don't, um,

file any complaints to our travel agent, right?

Why the fuck would he do that? That nigga a loyal customer.

♪ We get down 'round here, we get down 'round here ♪

Fuckin' asshole.

♪ We get down, down ♪

Why do I need a goddamn babysitter

while being extradited back to this motherfucker?

Told your ass.

I ain't got nothin' for you on Meech.

Well, maybe there's something that'll change your mind.

- Son. - Pops?

So look here.

Your old man's circling the drain.

It's the last time you two will see each other.

So... say what you got to say.

Pops, you alright?

You alright, Pops?

Doctors say I ain't- I ain't got long, man.

Listen, I don't- I don't want to waste our time

sittin' here talkin' about me.

Detective say you goin' to trial for killin' a innocent man.

Is that right?

Pops, I ain't never cop to none of that shit, alright?

It don't matter.

Damn guards gonna make your life a livin' hell

for the rest of your days.

And it will be for the rest of your days.

- Pops, I'm not stupid, okay? - Oh, man.

- No. I know- - You don't know shit!

God damn it, man. Listen to me.

If there's anything that you can do to lessen your charges here,

you do that shit, you understand?

Is that ashy, Milk Dud motherfucker

making you say this shit to me, Pops?

- No, no, no, no, no. - Huh?

You listen to me. They sent me away for life

for not even carrying a-a key of coke, man!

What in the hell you think they gon' sentence you?

That was fucking bullshit, Pops! You know it!

Yeah, I know it was bullshit,

because I'm living it, God damn it!

And that's why I want more for my son!

Come on, man! You got to-

You got to cooperate with these motherfuckers, man.

You do, you get out, and you'll have enough years

to find yourself a good woman like your mama.

Build yourself a life, man! You'll be free!

You telling me that this Meech that you're protecting,

he'll give up his life for you?

Son, please.

I need to leave this world knowing that my seed-

my son- got a chance!

I love you, man.

Take your daddy's advice, boy.

Seeing you in a tux brings back memories.

Me and Aisha just want to be happy, you know?

How'd you do it?

Can't say that I did.

If I'm lucky enough just to be half the man you are,

I know we'll be alright.

Time and age will rob you of this moment.

Protecting the joy you feel right now...

...it'll be the fight of your life.

You mind helping me out with this collar?

I'll try- Let me help you with my good hand.

Let's see.

You'll be good as new before you know it.

Brian? It's time.

- Need that. - Proud of you.

I'll see you out there, alright?

Good luck.

What's up, stranger?

Slugger, what up, doe?

Boss Slugger now.

Oh, you ain't Lil' Slugger no more?

- No. - Okay.

Jimmy put me on.

I got my own crew over there in McRee Town.

Damn. Baby girl done came up in the world.

Okay. That's what's up.

But shit's tough. I ain't gonna lie.

The fiends and the regular folks scared to be out on the block.

See, that's why I came to town.

I'm tryin' to set up peace talks with everybody.

Jimmy ain't gon' like that.

Know you and Pusha family and all,

I ain't trying to have y'all get into it.

But I need to know everybody that he beefin' with.

Look.

Listen. You was my secret weapon when we saved Carter.

I just need that special touch again from you.

That's it.

I bet you do.

Alright, Meech. I'll holla at you.

Mm.

So if everybody can gather around for a minute

for the first dance here, I have a special surprise.

And I'm gonna dedicate something to this happy couple.

Don't make a scene. Don't make a scene.

I'm trying not to, but...

Holy shit.

You gon'...

And spend an eternity in hell?

No, you know we don't believe in that.

A baby changes everything, Nikki.

It doesn't have to.

I'm not giving up my scholarship.

And you shouldn't stop going to school either.

Okay. You're right.

And we'll figure this out.

Okay.

What up, doe?

What's up, homeboy?

Just tryin' to get back on track after them Moors done hit at us.

Yeah, but ain't this war bad for business, dawg?

Like your pockets ain't feelin' a little light yet?

What you want me to do?

Hey, I need you to talk some sense into Pusha

and get him to stand on business instead of bloodshed.

Whatever you say, Meech.

Look, I'm ten toes down with BMF for sure.

And that's what I told Tee earlier.

Tee? When you talk to Tee?

He ain't tell you?

Motherfucker, tell me what?

He said after we take Pusha out, I'll run shit over here.

But his hitter missed, and now shit's a mess.

Fuck you talkin' about, nigga?

Fuck Tee. I run BMF.

Now, you better put me on game with everything you know

before I take your sorry ass up out of it, dawg.

You killed it, Ma. This was a really sweet wedding.

Well, it's too bad that you can't wear white to yours.

So when were you gonna tell us

that you got yourself knocked up?

What? How did- How did you know?

I have eyes, Nicole.

I saw Breeze put his hand on your stomach.

Nicole, you're pregnant? Baby girl...

- No. - Y-Yo. Wait. H-Holy shit.

- Terry. Terry, shut up. - I'm so sorry. Wait. Is Werm-

You havin' Werm's baby?

What or who is a Werm?

- Shut up. - Lord Jesus.

- I done raised a loose goose. - Breeze is the father, not Werm.

- Is he? - Yeah!

And why are you acting like I'm any different

than LaWanda or Lori?

You not any different, Nicole.

Only they know who their babies' daddies are.

- So do I! - Do you, Nicole?

It's been a Breeze. It's been a Werm.

And God knows who else.

Now you need to take an AIDS test.

- Lucille. - Charles, don't even.

Where you think she got it from?

This is not about us.

Nicole- her plans, her dreams, it's all about to change.

Yeah, so are ours,

and I cannot afford another mouth to feed.

Don't bother, because I'm raising my baby

- in college in Atlanta. - Oh! Okay!

And who's gonna pay for room and board, huh?

Huh?! Not me!

You know, you letting me see my old man

really put a lot of shit into perspective for me.

He went away 'cause of that 650-lifer law.

White people created that shit

just to break up Black households.

You see, after Pops went away... our whole family fell apart.

But I found a new family with Meech.

He showed me loyalty, brotherhood, respect-

shit your ass don't know nothin' about.

But why would you?

House niggas always get they fresh linens.

Yeah, that's right.

'Cause Duffy ain't no fuckin' rat.

And I ain't never gonna snitch on my brother!

You hear me?! Never.

Well...

I'm glad you got to say goodbye to your pops.

'Cause you the end of the bloodline.

Yeah. Well, I ain't the only one, motherfucker.

This BMF for life around here! You hear me?!

BMF for life!

Now listen up. We hit a bit of a roadblock with the work.

- So here's what we gonna do. - What's happenin' out here?

Tee tellin' the crew to whip the work.

With the Lou out, he figure people gonna need it.

I should be out there. Ain't that why Tee brought me back?

Hey, hey, hey. Slow down, Spermy Gonzalez.

He'll get you when you ready.

Yeah. There you go.

I drew you deez nuts.

You childish as fuck, yo.

Oh, I know. I know.

Tee, we- we good?

No, Werm. We not.

Yo! Hey! Chill! No. Wait.

That little monster my sister's having

turns out to be yours, you gon' do right by her.

You understand me? I'm talking marriage.

Picket fence, big house, nigga. The whole nine.

- You hear me?! - Wait. Wait. Nikki's pregnant?

How you know it's mine?

Aah! Shit! Aah! Okay! I'ma handle it!

You chump. You a dumb-ass nigga.

"How you know it's mine?" Get the fuck out of here.

- What up, doe? - I thought we were square.

We are.

Shit, your bro here didn't know shit about me takin' over.

Wait. Meech is in the Lou?

Yeah. And he tryin' to initiate peace talks and shit.

Peace? Aw, hell.

This motherfucker went from thinking he's God

- to Gandhi now. - What you want me to do?

I mean, he talkin' like he ain't trying to fuck with me.

Handle the Pusha problem yourself, a'ight?

Just put an end to this shit.

Meech was right. You ain't shit.

You lucky my sister married one of these assholes.

She wants peace, too.

That's cool and all, but where the fuck is we at?

Askin' too many questions. Come this way.

Hm.

My cuz want to be down with y'all movement.

Sister Jamila El said bring him by.

Happy?

Queen just had to put her crown on.

Mm-hmm. Let's go.

When we found you, half your population was dying

and riddled with disease.

- We cleaned you up... - Islam!

- ...gave you sewer systems... - Preach!

...algebra, damn near built the backbone of your society.

And now... now you have the gall

- to demand we follow your laws. - Go 'head, brother.

See, as a man thinketh, he becomes.

Islam!

Choose to remain ensnared by society's chains,

conform to Daddy America's rules,

and all you'll end up is both broke and broken.

Man, this shit ain't makin' no sense.

...are derived from Allah...

So you tellin' me the crew Pusha droppin' bodies over

- is the Moorish Science Temple? - Not exactly.

That group is all about peace, truth, and justice.

This group... is on some whole other shit.

Many of the people involved in the drug ring

claim to be members of a religious sect

known as the Moorish Science Temple.

The Great Seal Moors

gave the OG Moorish Science Temple a bad rap.

They had their followers tell Uncle Sam to fuck off

by declaring themselves sovereign nationals.

At one point,

the St. Louis chapter racked up a dozen bodies

and ran half the Lou's drug market.

Just another hustle in Hustle City.

The temple was a front to do dirt

and the Sheikh nothing more than a gangster with a pulpit.

Mm-mm-mm!

My goodness!

You are making $4.25 an hour at Wendy's?

- Yes, ma'am. - Grossing $10,000,

maybe $11,000 with overtime.

Yes, but- but I'm a pastor now.

Okay. Okay. So we doin' a little bit better there now.

Barely, especially as a female pastor, you know?

Um, the men make all the money.

I know. It's not right at all, Pastor.

Listen. Let me see here. You are just at the cutoff.

Let me make this slight adjustment here

and see if we can't go ahead and get you those benefits, okay?

Thank you.

No. It's been a real struggle.

- Thank you so much. - Definitely.

Let's see if we-

Now, hold up.

You marked down here that you live with your husband.

He's my ex-husband.

That's not how this works, okay?

Not at all. It changes everything.

Now, we have to factor his income into the equation,

and that puts you right into denied territory.

But he's injured. He cannot contribute anything.

- My hands are tied. - Please.

Can you make an exception? Please. I really need the help.

Listen. I'm sorry. I don't make the rules,

I just follow 'em, okay?

Who do you people think you are...

...that you just get to decide who lives and who dies?

You know, I could have lied, you know?

But you didn't.

Let that be a lesson to you, okay?

Next!

You know I didn't mind comin' to your house, right?

I had errands to run.

What is it that you wanted to talk through?

Alright. So, um... I've been hiding a lot of shit from Meech.

And when he finds out what I did, he's...

What you did was keep the business going

while he was out there doing God knows what.

Fuck Meech.

Yeah, but I was just thinkin'

that maybe I should just confess to him.

You know, it's better that he hears it from my mouth first.

And what's that gonna accomplish?

I keep telling you, you can do this shit by yourself.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

You know I'mma always keep it real with you, baby.

And while we're being more honest with each other,

there's something I got to tell you.

Okay.

Boom is out of jail and staying at our house.

- What the fuck? - I know.

I know it sounds crazy, but I got a plan.

Just listen to me.

He's gonna give me all the contacts,

and we can expand like you wanted.

He sleepin' on the bed that I bought you?

- Fuck. - Tee.

Tee, I just need a little bit more time!

Islam. Brother Demetrius.

Thank you for waiting.

Let's just cut that holier-than-thou shit, Mook.

Even Allah gave vermin breath.

- Let Big Mouth speak. - It's Big Meech.

- Oh. - But you'll learn.

You see, you ain't the only ones whose hands reach heaven.

I'm trying to build a nation within a nation.

And I'm offering you the golden ticket.

And in this nation,

you appointed yourself Jesus, Lord, and savior?

Brother, I got weight so pure,

that you'll have to open up the second chapter.

You know, the Bible tells you to be careful

of the company you keep, right?

It's not your product that's the problem.

It's your prophet.

Man, Pusha's followers are already foldin' like tents.

Now, once I bless you with his work- on trial-

he ain't gon' have no choice but to fall back.

- It's not good enough. - It's gon' have to be.

Unnecessary bloodshed in my nation?

That's blasphemy, brother.

Nation-building requires sacrifice.

That Judas nigga's head on a spike?

That's yours.

Islam, brother.

Lucille.

- It's fine. I'll be okay. - Hey. No, no. Hey.

Whoa. Take a breath. What's wrong?

I can't do this anymore.

I mean, I got to pay the credit card bill.

I got to pay for Nicole's room and board,

and now she's having a baby?

I done raised my kids.

I don't want to do it anymore. I'm tired!

Okay.

We'll manage, like we always do.

"We"?

I'm sorry, Charles, but you are the problem.

I mean, I cannot so much as get a dime with you being here.

And ever since you got hurt, you don't do shit

except mope around,

complaining about missing your stupid fucking tour!

I'll figure somethin' out.

It's too late, Charles.

It is 25 years too late.

If you really want to help...

...just go.

Terry fuckin' Flenory.

Your voice finally crack, Pee-wee?

I'ma crack your skull if you don't get the fuck out my house.

This your shit?

Talkin' about the one I been rubbin' my nut sack on all week?

Yeah, bitch.

Matter of fact, this what a real nigga smell like, ho.

Huh, lil' nigga? What's up?

What's up, nigga?

Tee! Tee, stop!

What the hell are you doing?! What are you doing?!

You stupid nigga.

She's fuckin' playin' you... like she played me.

This nigga don't even get it.

Look.

You done already lost, nigga.

She gon' always be mine, bitch.

Get the fuck outta here.

What?

- I told you I would handle it. - Man, fuck all that.

You really thought I was gonna let this shit slide?

Tee, he is still the father of one of my kids and my husband.

Here we go with this shit.

Kisha, be straight up with me.

You'd really rather this OJ Simpson-lookin' motherfucker?

Of course not. But...

"But."

See, I was right to give LaWanda my money to hold.

She's the realest bitch I know.

Unlike your ass.

Frenchie gone.

Damn!

Look, line Delmar Ave up like it's the fuckin' Alamo.

One of them bellhop niggas make it through,

send they ass to the crossroads.

Hey, calm y'all happy asses down.

Look who it is. Mr. Music Man.

Been gone so long, you done forgot how the game work.

Real niggas don't run when there's heat.

They become the inferno, Meech.

Wipin' out them Moors,

we could bring the north and the south under our banner.

You see, we was workin' together, that would've worked.

But I'm droppin' y'all niggas.

Now I had real love for you, dawg. But you fucked that up.

Now I'ma just head back to the warehouse to go close shop.

And your scandalous ass, homey,

y'all better not come around me and my family ever again.

Mama said some pretty nasty things to me,

but it made me realize that I don't need her.

Me and Breeze got this.

Look, I get you think y'all can do it yourselves,

but trust me, it takes a village.

What you mean?

I mean having a kid means no sleep, no free time.

You ain't gonna be a student first.

You gon' be a mama first. Always, alright.

Look, I-I'm not sayin' it can't be done.

I'm just lettin' you know now, it ain't easy.

- What's up, Wanda? - Hey.

Can you tell Nikki that I'm her ride home tonight?

- Come on. - Seriously?

You givin' me the silent treatment?

- Man, grow up. - Oh. I'm sorry.

Not the one that slept with the homey

and then got knocked up is telling me how to act.

And how many babies you and Meech got out of wedlock again?

Shut up. You lucky I'm letting

your little fast ass work at this restaurant.

Oh, screw you and your wack ass,

no-customer-havin' freakin' front.

Man, I'm ridin' with Wanda.

Hold on. No, you ain't, girl.

I got two kids to get back to. I'm sorry.

Okay. Well, I'd rather walk than ride with you.

Well, honestly, I could care less.

You better...

Alright!

Investigation hit a snag?

More like a brick wall.

You know, after our trusted leaders down at City Hall

tore down Techwood with only a bus ticket for our troubles...

...I grew so angry.

But God granted me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change

and courage to help change the things I can.

You mean like my investigation?

Even after you couldn't recognize anybody

from the pictures?

Which is why...

I took my own.

I used to see that guy at Techwood.

Think he's some kind of shot caller now.

Come on, man. Bein' shady ain't a crime.

Well, I'll be damned.

You did good, Abe.

You did you real good.

Charles?

Charles?

Hey.

Did you ever really love me,

or was this just a marriage of convenience?

Charles... what are you talking about?

Everything's gone.

Our marriage.

Music.

I can't work.

I can't provide.

I failed my family.

I failed myself.

- Listen to me. - Hey. What...

Charles...

Charles, listen to me.

God loves you.

I just don't want to be a burden.

Listen.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I...

I didn't mean to be so hard on you.

I'm useless.

Charles, please.

I-I'm- I'm not worth savin'.

Don't... Don't talk like that, Pops.

I love you and need you.

Pops, my baby is gonna need you.

We all need you, Daddy.

I don't want to live no more.

Charles, don't say- Please.

- Charles... - Hey, hey, look.

- Hey. - Mom, please.

Uh, can you and Nikki just go upstairs, please?

J-just go upstairs.

Hey. Hey, Pops.

Do you still have that gun

that you took from me and Meech's bedroom?

Please just tell me where you put the gun.

What up, doe?

Like, I know y'all niggas ain't known me for long,

but there's three things that I don't play about.

It's profit, peace, and pussy.

Now, profit always gonna bring the pussy.

But without peace, we lose everything.

Pusha's puss ass.

He overstepped.

That's why I'ma show you love on the price.

- But what about Pusha? - He already handled.

Pusha get at the warehouse with my guys.

But they ain't gon' let him take my product.

Remember, Meech said to only pull triggers if we have to.

And I sure as hell hope we have to.

Now, if that ain't divine intervention,

hey, I don't know what is.

Think you could bullshit a bullshitter, Meech?

Oh, fuck!

- This is my fuckin' city! - Yeah!

Get him!

That's what they get for tryin' to take you out.

Yeah.

You should've been there that day

instead of leakin' my fuckin' plans.

You gonna have one hell of a funeral.

Rest in piss, nigga.

I know you sent that hit in the Lou.

What hit?

Tee, don't play this fuckin' stupid game with me.

Who the fuck did you send?

Alright.

The hit was from a local in the Lou.

But you can get the fuck off your high horse.

Don't act like you ain't lie to me about going to the Lou

so you can make moves behind my fuckin' back.

Nigga, I don't got to answer to nobody.

Especially not your ho ass.

Oh, so you a army of one, then, right?

I might as well be.

Nigga, I been runnin' my ass ragged 'round this bitch

tryin' to keep our family together,

just for your selfish ass to stay here and get your dick wet?

Selfish? You a delusional-ass nigga.

What family, Meech? Nikki is pregnant!

Pops is talkin' 'bout not wantin' to live no more!

Where the fuck was you at? Huh?

Pops said what?

All you ever gave a fuck about was drugs, Meech.

Nigga, I only got into this fuckin' game

to keep our family together.

Well, this family was better off without you, nigga.

- What? - Get the fuck out.

You ain't hear me, nigga? Get the fuck out!

Nigga, your Steve Urkel ass only got into this game

'cause you followed me to Pat's car.

You ain't shit without me.

Remember that.

Our brotherhood used to be a religion

we both believed in.

But now that faith was at an all-time low.

Secrets, lies, and distrust had left us vulnerable.

- You good? - Mm-hmm.

We are so blessed.

Everything's falling into place,

just like I said it would.

I didn't think you'd actually convince

that crazy man in that sober house.

Lamar, you have another visitor.

He didn't need 12 steps

to convince him of anything.

Just had to mention ambushin' Meech and Tee,

and Lamar was all in.

We went to bed every night

praying for Vee to see another sunrise.

And they were answered.

More sunrises to come.

Lamar is gone. Tee done took the bait.

Got enough money for Vee's surgery

- and new life that we wanted. - Yes.

All that's left is the brothers.

Look. I...

I know we said we'd take this to the end.

But God's blessed us with everything.

I'll square up with God when I meet Him.

For now, I'ma make sure

Meech and Tee never fuck anyone else over again.
