I'm a family business.

Please sit. If you hadn't helped me back at Fresh Metals, I'd probably be dead.

And for that, Dr.

Wilson's practice is yours.

Junior, are you willing to accept our invitation to join the Alliance?

So who are the invitees?

The others are Duncan Nemesis, your enemy's enemy, or your friend.

Papa always used to say that. There's only one person who guided us.

Junior, if Donna agrees to handle Ruby, that would prove to us that she answered

it fake. You ready to make your bone?

Yeah.

It's all ready.

Let's just fight.

We got a mansion in Dubai.

And our wardrobe be for fly.

We know you like it.

We know you like it. Yeah.

We always win and then that's no lie.

You really wish you had our life. We know you like it. Hey.

We know you like it.

What do you say, Don?

You ready to make your bone?

You're not doing it.

I don't give a fuck what they say. You're not doing it. Who the hell do you

think you're talking to? And lower your voice before someone hears you. Sit

down.

You're not killing anyone, Mom.

Baby, they are testing me.

And I don't have a choice at this point. The hell you don't. You can say no.

You were not a killer until you pulled that trigger.

This is your jumping off point.

Fuck their tent.

But I'm testing myself.

Because if I'm going to be at your side, I must do this.

I get what you're saying, Ma.

But Ruby is not a test.

She's innocent.

Not only is she the love of Orlando's life.

She is the mother of my nephew.

They are purposely setting you up to be the poster child for Duncan H.

I know, I know.

And she is not innocent.

But now is not the time for us to be rationalizing through all of this shit.

Now, now is the moment for us to show them what we're made of.

I want you to understand that.

Yeah, but Ma, you're not a killer.

Not yet.

Let me ask you a question, son.

How many times did you try and talk Chippy out of picking up a gun and

somebody?

Hmm?

If Chippy can do it.

I can do it.

Hell, if I would have been a little more ride or die back in the day, that bitch

Chippy would not be living my life.

My life.

Okay,

before you start, I already handled it. I told Mariah that not only is she going

to lose every privilege that she can think of, But the door to her room is

coming off as soon as I can find somebody to handle it.

London, honey, we know you're doing your best with Mariah.

Your father and I have been talking, and we think we need to try something

different to help her work through all this.

Work through this? What does that mean?

Mariah has always been well -behaved.

So obviously, whatever this is, it's serious.

And that's why her punishment is serious, Daddy. We think you need to try

different approach to this.

London. What your father is saying.

Mariah needs to see a therapist.

A therapist?

Yes.

And as soon as possible.

Okay.

Respectfully, I appreciate your suggestion, but Mariah is going to be

Just like me and Vegas and Junior Orlando, Paris and Rio were when you

us. Yes, that is true.

Honey, but this is different.

Really? Yeah. How so?

Well, your parents didn't go through a turbulent divorce.

And your father didn't go missing without a trace.

Hmm. And whose fault is that?

Because it's certainly not mine, is it, Ma?

I mean, I don't know, Daddy, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not the one who

gave the Italians the weapon that killed Sal Dad. Okay, now, young lady, first

of all, watch your tone.

I'm still your mother.

Now, I did what I needed to do for this family.

Harris was a liability, a major one, yes.

And he put everyone in this family in jail. But you didn't have to give them

gun. I mean, you pretty much put the bullet in his head when you did that.

Mariah needs serious help, London, and she's going to get it.

Now, whatever this is, it goes way beyond missing her father.

She thinks you killed him.

What are you talking about, Daddy? Why would she think that?

Probably because you have said that you would wish him dead on many occasions.

Let us get her some help.

Don't you remember how you felt when you were hospitalized?

You don't want that for her, do you?

She's not that bad, Daddy.

Is she?

All right.

Fine.

Fine. You guys want me to...

Take Mariah to therapy, I'll take Mariah to therapy.

Thank you.

Do you really want her telling someone our deep, dark secrets?

I have someone she can talk to, and I'm sure she can be trusted.

Or easily eliminated.

If you say so.

Honey, we love you.

You didn't have to say that.

Well... How long is the flight?

It's about six hours. It's not long.

But I can have the pilot land the plane in Miami if you want to do a layover.

It's not a problem.

Nah, I gave him his message before we left the house. He'll be okay.

It would be nice to know where we're going, though.

I'm starting to get a little worried.

There's nothing to worry or be nervous about, Ruby. Really?

You just show up though as much as a phone call and tell me to pack our

and our stuff because it's not safe and I'm not supposed to be worried?

Listen, I just want to make sure that both of you are safe and protected,

all. In a few hours we'll be somewhere where no one would even think about

looking for you. We're at my house in Jamaica. It's the safest place for us.

Antonio used to run the island, remember?

Probably had eyes on you already.

What was that word you used to say?

Fuckery.

You and my little man are the most important thing to me in my life and I

do whatever it takes to make sure that both of you

are safe.

You.

And I love you too.

That's 10 grand, but I'm going to tell you what.

Let's do this. Let's run it back for 20, baby. No, dude. You got to be the

luckiest dude in the world. You think that's luck? Yeah, that's luck. That's

skill. That's all skill, man. I got good hand -eye coordination.

Hey, hold this, man. This is my wingman from the other night.

Roman, I'm glad you came through.

How's your mother?

She's not too good.

She'll be all right.

Appreciate you asking.

No doubt, man. Let me ask you, you ever hear from Shardy the other night, Laura?

No. You ever hear from her cousin?

Not yet, but she's going to call.

They always do.

I hear you, Chamber. Yo, y 'all seen Darnell?

I ain't seen Darnell. Yeah, he's back there by the pool. Yeah.

I appreciate that.

I'll catch y 'all later.

I like that.

I know.

What's up, little homie?

Who this?

My boy Brandon. He cool.

Okay. Y 'all bring y 'all through?

Because it's 3 a .m. and one of me. Sure, but I need to talk a little

with you first.

Okay.

In private. Okay.

Ladies,

can you give us a second, please?

Maybe make us a cocktail?

They leaving?

Nah.

Ain't not leaving.

What's good, man? I need another job like the last one we did.

Are you for real?

We just hit that lick a couple days ago, man.

It's time to lay low and relax for a little. I know, but I need more money.

My mom needs a kidney transplant.

That shit not cheap.

Yeah?

Well, look, man, I'm sorry about your moms, but shit, I'm good right now. I

my stacks.

Homie King told me to lay low over here for the summer.

Three hotties, a pool.

What more can I want right now, man? I hear you, but my mom's gonna be dead if

we don't get that transplant.

All right.

I might got something for you.

I ain't helping you out with it.

Awesome. Y 'all pull this through?

I'm gonna need 10%. I'm broke for you. We good?

Yeah, we good.

Cool.

Now do me a favor, man, so I'm good.

Grab these drinks.

Thank you.

Go inside.

I got some trunks for you.

Jump in the pool, man, and grab on some of the suns, bro.

Come on.

Wow.

This place is so gorgeous. And I thought Jamaica was as beautiful as it gets.

Come on, there's somebody I want you to meet, okay?

Who lives here, Orlando?

The only people I can trust.

Family. What's up, cuz?

Yeah. It's good to see you, cuz.

I'm happy you made it safe.

It's good to see you, too. I brought my family.

This is my lady, Ruby.

This is my son, O. You might hear her call him something else, but it's little

O.

But your family's my family.

Nice to meet you, Ruby.

Welcome to New Orleans.

Thank you.

Yeah, he's definitely a dunker.

He got the same head shape as Uncle Lou and Uncle Elsie.

Look, Marquis, I know you know why we're here by now.

Yeah. That's why I told you to go around the back of the front door.

So I hear you're in some trouble.

Look, bottom line is, I did what I needed to do to protect Orlando.

I owe that to our son.

You ain't got to explain any further.

Your deal will need to be done.

I don't blame you.

Protecting our family?

That's what all of us dunkers do. Facts. That's why Pop and I agreed this is the

safest place for them until we can figure out what's going on with the

Yeah, well, I don't always agree we don't go L .C., but this time I do.

Yo, son, he'll be safe here.

Me and Jimmy, we'll make sure of it.

Who the hell is Jimmy?

Jimmy?

Who's Jimmy?

He's right here.

That's Jimmy.

He made sure everything around here is just fine.

Duncan.

Come on.

Yo, you never heard of knocking, man? Chill out.

She ain't got nothing I ain't seen before.

Anyway, you trying to make that play? What?

Hell yeah.

Easy. Word on the street is?

Bonnie looking for the dudes who killed Duke. Bonnie? Yeah, Bonnie, man. Bonnie

for short.

Anyways, he the boss of they whole operation.

And trust me when I say that motherfucker ain't happy.

Did he know who did it?

Hell no.

We was seamless.

So seamless, we got this motherfucker stressing out, man.

Is that your friend or something? How the hell you know how he feeling?

Pillow talk.

Anyway, my homegirl Lala, she works at the Dragonfly.

Guess who's her number one customer?

Bonnie? Bingo.

So I definitely know we can set this motherfucker up.

And for the right price?

Lala be down to help us out.

It's only one thing, though.

So what's up?

Vonnie ain't no joke. So if we do this, we got to be as seamless as the last

operation. No fuck -ups, no hesitations.

You feel me?

Okay. Let's do it.

Easy. That's what I want to fucking hear from you, man.

Yes. All right. Get some rest.

I'll make them waffles or something in the morning. I'll get one of her friends

to do it, man.

I like to do it, man. I like to do it. Come on.

Brother Junior.

Yes.

A moment of your time, please.

Sure.

What's on your mind?

Well, I must admit, I never pictured you being the leader of your own

organization, and I am pleasantly surprised.

And in spite of the circumstances, I do believe that your father would be proud,

too.

I think he'd want to put a bullet in my head.

Maybe, but he would still be proud.

Just an old man's observation.

Well, Brother Minister, I'm sure many people never expected me to be in this

position of leadership.

But the beauty of the situation is it creates opportunities for everyone

involved, including myself.

Well, indeed.

The Brotherhood has placed a lot of eggs in your basket, and we just want to be

sure.

That you're certain of all this I'm as sure as you are

Are you having some doubts no no doubts

no Concerns Bringing my

resources and utilizing my men for this Alliance is one thing

But the decision to take the life of a black woman who also happens to be a

mother is another. I cannot sit for that.

And quite frankly, Junior, I'm surprised that you found no fault in it,

especially since she's your family.

Well, I don't use the word family that easily these days.

And as I recall, Brother Minister, the brotherhood is no stranger to taking

lives.

Matter of fact, isn't that what they're trained to do?

Right?

We are instructed to protect and serve at all costs. We do not take the lives

innocent women.

Especially over a trivial point.

That is a senseless act.

Senseless is subjective.

As I was reminded last night, Ruby is not as innocent as you think.

So I've heard.

Well, just some food for thought for our leader.

The decision is, of course, yours.

And the decision has been made.

And it is a wise one that will be good for business.

You'll see.

Well, then, I guess there's nothing left to talk about.

Brother Minnis, I appreciate you coming to me directly with your concerns.

But if you'll excuse me, I have to get back inside.

I must say,

Antonio, this game of manipulation you're playing is very interesting.

What exactly are you referring to?

Come on.

I've been in this business just as long, not longer than you.

It's not hard to see that Junior and his mother are just being sacrificial

lambs, being used to distract Alshia.

Now, despite this vote that we took,

He's not the leader of the United States.

You are.

Well, that's very observant of you.

But is it my fault if he's too naive to recognize that?

No.

See, as long as you don't think I'm stupid and take advantage of me and my

people.

Now, if I was able to pick up on this, I'm sure Alexander and Brother Minister

have so as well.

I have the utmost respect for you and your organization, but I will say that I

think that you give me too much credit.

You see, if Junior wants to head an organization to take down his family and

mother signs on to handle Ruby,

who am I to get in the way and stop him?

I've known this woman, Donna, from back in the day, and I'm still not sure that

she would do as you wish.

Am I right?

Have you spoken to her?

Yeah. Yeah. She still is very adamant that she has no problem doing

what we need her to do.

And I believe her.

She wants our approval.

She and I will be headed to the islands tomorrow.

You and me, babe?

You and me.

Yeah.

Excuse me, I'm telling you. Let's go.

You got some information for me?

Is Ruby in?

Jamaica. She was.

What do you mean she was?

They don't even disappear like ghosts.

Well, what the fuck are you doing there right now?

God damn it.

Go find them.

Okay?

Dispatch.

I'm on it. Okay, baby.

Say it back.

No, I would say just a little bump in the road.

And I would bet anything that Orlando Duncan has something to do with it.

But I got a backup plan.

You can run, but you cannot hide for long, my friend.

Not for long.

Salute.

Salute.

Here, we grow home for.

I could stay here forever.

Told you, you can stay here as long as you want.

But you leave soon, right?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Do you have to go?

I mean, I don't want you to go.

I don't want to leave either, but I got to get back before anybody realizes that

I'm gone.

But I will be back before you know it, I promise.

I know you will.

Because you're going to take Vincent back to New York with you.

Wait, hold on, what?

Look, I know you're comfortable with this place, but it don't change the fact

that I'm still running for my life.

Look, I'm not trying to take him from you.

Listen to me.

Vincent is feeling much better, but he still needs to be under medical care.

There's a hospital near here. That's why I had seen no drive -by, remember?

But they're not the same as the hospitals in L .A. or New York.

I'm not taking my son away from his mother. I'm not doing that. You can and

will.

If Antonio hears that Vincent is with you, then it will make him believe that

you really don't know where I am.

It all makes sense.

Don't you see?

The safest place for Vincent is with you and your family.

If he should get sick and has to go to the hospital, there will be medical

records for them to trace back to here.

There's a huge chance that they will find us.

We're not safe as long as we're together.

All right.

All right.

Well, there you go.

All right.

I got you.

I got you.

What are you saying?

What are you at?

I ain't gonna lie, Rome.

I'm scared.

This is, this is Fanny we're talking about.

And you can't underestimate him.

Shit.

I'm a little scared too, but I gotta do what I gotta do for my moms.

Are you sure you can trust this chick?

Look, if you don't want to do this, I understand.

But I ain't got no choice.

I gotta trust her.

I know, man.

Yo.

You've been there from the jump.

I appreciate that. You're the only one I can trust.

To do this shit with.

Thank you.

You ain't gotta worry about me.

I got you.

Yo, what the fuck up? Where the fuck is the money?

What money?

Damn, bro!

Yo, you done asked? Shit, my bad, bro. I mean, damn, let me just shut the fuck

up. Yeah, how about you do that shit?

Where the fuck is y 'all? Don't worry about who the fuck I am. Where the fuck

the money at? After all this, y 'all better fucking kill me. Oh, don't worry

about that, tough guy. We can arrange that.

Now, like I said, where the fuck is the money? What money?

You want to play games? Okay. Yeah, I do.

Yeah. Okay.

Jackpot. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Who leaves that kind of cat just lying around, huh? Man who most know not to

touch.

Dude, what the fuck, yo? Now you've got to smoke his ass.

He ain't got the fucking balls. Listen,

wait 20 minutes and then tell those boys what happened, all right?

All right?

Yo, make sure you finish that motherfucker off. I'm going to meet you

all right? All right.

All right.

The last one.

You must really love your mother.

Of course I love my mother.

Doesn't everyone?

Yeah, but... I don't think I'd ever had anyone bring $120 ,000 in cash into my

office to secure her a transplant.

It's the first time for everything, right?

Where I live, cash is king.

So what's the next step?

You will meet with Dr. Ford.

He'll bring you and your mother up to speed on the donor list and any

procedures.

Any other questions for me?

No. We're good.

Sounds like Dr. Ford is the man you need to see.

I'd have to agree with that.

I just sent him an email. He should be fully informed when you see him.

Thank you.

All right, so, I mean, what is it? What's going on over there?

It's this whole Harris thing she can't let go.

And I'm really, really worried.

Look, I get it.

This parenting thing, it ain't easy at all, especially when your kids are as

smart as ours.

And your daughter's last name may be Grant, but she is a Duncan through and

through.

So give her a break, but keep her close.

You give good advice, you know that? Oh, you know, I try.

I try. I try to do what I do.

Speaking of what you did, what were you doing last night that you couldn't take

a booty call?

Okay, now that was on my sister. All right, she had me on the phone half the

night trying to find my nephew before he linked up with his degenerate -ass

friend, Roman.

I thought he was down south.

Well, it turns out he's back in the city, and my whole family is stressed

fuck out, and they're stressing me out.

You know what they say the best stress reliever is?

Oh, you think that'll do it?

I know that it will.

Oh, okay.

Your place or mine?

Now you know we can't go to my house. I'm just saying. Okay. All right. All

right. So check it out.

My place it is.

But we get to pick up some Chinese first.

Okay. That we could do. All right. All right. All right.

You're going to need all your strength.

But I got plans for you.

Oh, I like that. You talking that talk.

You have to tell him.

This is serious, Margaret.

That boy is out there doing God knows what to get up the money to get you this

operation. And then I think he's thinking about giving you one of his

Don't you think I know that?

But it isn't the right time. It just isn't the right time, Coretta. Then when

will be?

Shit. You never planned on telling him, did you?

You were just going to take this shit to the grave?

Yes.

So are you. Like hell I am. You're not going to leave that burden on me.

No, if you don't tell him, I will.

And then you can explain.

You wouldn't.

Try me.

Go ahead, try me.

Okay.

Okay, I will tell him, but...

Not until we're back home. Tell me what? Oh, hey, nephew.

What's up, auntie?

Nothing.

Just that I'm thankful to have a son who can make things happen for me.

Is everything okay?

I was on my way to your room when I ran into your son.

I was going to let him tell you the news, but I wanted to see your face when

did it.

What?

What news?

The hospital's approved your surgery, mama.

You're on the transplant list, and we anticipate on having a donor very soon.

That was fast.

How?

I'm going to donate my kidney to you, Mama.

Doc says if I'm your son and we have the same blood type, that it's a match.

Not 100%, but a good chance.

Son, you don't have to do this.

For my mother?

The woman who brought me in this world, I'd do anything.

How soon can we start the procedure, Doc?

How about I arrange for you to have some blood drawn before we jump the gun,

huh?

Damn, Margaret.

Blood work?

Am I in trouble?

No, you're not in trouble.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm looking at your nails, because they weren't like that when you went in. So

I'm curious to know how things went.

Um, it went okay.

She's nice.

And she asked a lot of questions.

Well, I'm sure she did. That's a part of her job.

Well, I didn't tell anything.

And... Plus he painted my nails.

I'm sure you didn't tell her anything, but I brought you here so that you

Well, I don't understand.

Everyone tells me, like, not to tell our business, especially our personal

business.

You did good.

The only thing is it's different with Dr. Brandy because you actually can talk

to her about whatever it is you're feeling.

Is he family?

No, she's not family, but she's a family friend.

She helped us save your grandfather.

I didn't know that.

I know you didn't know that.

But it's a safe space.

She talks to your grandfather, too.

Really? Mm -hmm. He does.

And do you know why he talks to her?

Because he trusts her.

And that's the thing. Everyone needs somebody that they trust to talk to.

Thank you, Mommy.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, man, do that watch even fit you, bro?

It's perfect. What's up with you?

Yo, what they saying about your mom?

They got the money, and I'm going to give them my kidney.

Ain't nothing else to really say. I hear that.

Now, get in the car.

Because before they cut you open,

me and you about to have some fun. Oh, shit. What the hell are you trying to

into, man? Now, the question is, what are we trying to get into?

And the answer is them.

Look, I got the Italian trees on deck.

We about to go grab some tacos and tequila. You ready?

Let's roll.

And say, please, my baby, hang yourself up. Get your back.

That's a choice to make.

Oh, Sonia, really?

NeNe, come out.

What is it?

Take a look at this.

Is this what I think it is?

Yes, it is.

Oh, look at that. Look at the name on the top.

Oh, my goodness. This is so beautiful. Oh, my God.

Why are you not excited?

You know what this means?

I know exactly what it means.

It means that Donna's going to be a grandmother.

Oh, Chippy.

Oh, Chippy. She's not going to let me see that baby.

Yes, she is.

She's not.

I'm thirsty.

Me too.

Oh, shit.

How the fuck we go through all this already?

That's okay. We can get some more.

And this time, you can drink it all.

Okay.

Oh, wait.

Let's go check on Gigi. I'm sure she wants some tequila, too.

Yeah, we better see what's going on with Ro. Yeah.

Why are you being shy?

I'm just playing.

I like what I see.

Oh, yeah?

Wait till we get back.

Thank you.

Okay, close it.

Why don't you zip this up?

You're going the wrong way.

I don't know what

they're doing.

Hey, we're about to go grab some more tequila.

Tequila.

Tequila.

Hey,

we'll be back.

Now, why are you standing over there looking stressed?

When I'm laying here. looking like this today was just

today was a really big step i think i do deserve

a celebratory drink No, thanks. See you at the red lingerie.

Yeah.

Well, you know, when we get back, you're going to have to do that little thing

with the hip for me.

No, I have something else in store. Oh, yeah?

Let's get you out of this.

A lot of tricks up my sleeve.

Ooh, I love tricking and treating.

I bet you do.

You love me?

Oh, shit, Brandy.

Brian, you should have killed me, stupid motherfucker.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You ready to die? It sounds like they're shooting.

Fuck, that's Brandon.

Hey, stay put. I'll be right back. Stay put.

Stay put. I'll be right back, all right? You know me?

Come on.

Come

Come on. Come on.
