MAN: Man in the full knowledge of himself

is a superb and supreme creature of creation.

When man becomes possessor of the knowledge of himself,

he becomes master of his environment,

the captain of his own ship,

the director of his own destiny,

the accomplisher of his own ends.

SECOND MAN: There is another America.

Millions of starved men search for jobs that don't exist.

THIRD MAN: ...who were working for the CIA's army

were responsible for bringing all that cocaine

into Los Angeles that sparked the crack epidemic.

WOMAN: The drug war was launched in

response to racial politics, not drug crime.

REPORTER: The economic jam we're in

has topped even the Great Depression in one respect.

Never have we had a recession

this deep with a recovery this flat.

REPORTER: Gentrification's detractors will tell you

that rising rents and increased property values force out

locals and small businesses from affected neighborhoods.

Proponents say the influx of new

residents and businesses is worth celebrating.

COMMENTATOR: What gentrification really is,

it is the increase in the price of land.

It is a shortage of neighborhoods and the thing

about Canada and the US is that we stole this land fair

and square and we got a lot of it, we don't have a shortage

of land, we have a shortage of walkable urban land.

REPORTER: Federal guidelines allow

Public Housing authorities to evict whole families

because of a family member's alleged criminal activity.

All right, I'll see you when you get here.

Go on.

Finally.

VOICEOVER: I'm a take over all three projects,

Lindsey, Elliot and Benton

and I won't have to use any force either.

It's just simple supply and demand.

I'm gonna supply it at a lower

price and flood the block hard.

They gonna be comin' to me.

Yes, under the non-profit.

Washington Street, yes, send Hussein for

the renovations and take out the bathroom first.

Now move, it's the third floor that's the problem.

Don't be too aggressive like that guy

The authorities have the DA looking

into every landlord-tenant complaint now.

Okay,

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I told you, man, we hit him.

We just didn't stay around 'cause they started to bust back.

Your ass just got dropped off in Haiti, is all.

Hey, I am not from fucking Haiti, okay?

I told you I am from the Dominican Republic.

That is Haiti. Damn, nigga. What you think?

The fuckin' white man couldn't beat the Haitians

so he divided the island in half and left one side Haiti.

Hm?

That's the original name from the Taino Indians

and the other side was Hispaniola,

which became the Dominican Republic.

[speaks Spanish]

...stupid ass?

You know what? Fuck you! [speaks Spanish]

What? You know it's true.

Man.

Damn, man.

Nigga, is you smoking?

Oh no, I'm starting an after school program for the kids.

I just need some startup funds.

Look, think about when we were young.

Things would've been different

if we had a little bit of direction.

I mean, you got people down here right now doing drugs,

turning into zombies and forgetting their

true nature of being kings and queens just like you.

All right, I'll see what I can do,

but I ain't got time for the speech right now.

- Hold on. - Nigga, I ain't on that shit.

You are addicted to the money.

Just look how you act when you gotta part

with just a little bit of it and on top of that,

you smokin' that weed to numb

yourself to shit you afraid to face.

Look man, I already told you I'll see what I can do.

Yo, what up, Grandma? Oh!

They look like white people.

[tense music]

No shit.

That looked like my cousin, Sandra, son.

Yo, stay right there, we comin' right now.

Come on, come on, son, these niggas, man.

MAN: Only coffee for me.

Well, gentlemen, most of the laws are in place.

Now it's just to get them enforced.

And Williamsburg is bursting at the seams,

all of the land and people are gone.

Therefore...

What?

Bed-Stuy is the next area to start on now.

That's where Prince comes in.

We need to escalate our efforts.

I don't want to know what or how you do what you do.

I just need you to hurry it up

and start to get them out one by one.

What about the new people coming in?

We are going to need people to

fill those units until we are ready.

I'm taking care of that.

Well, I can speed it up on a few fronts.

I've already started on one.

How much time do I have?

Two years, the new mayor will be in by then.

Hey, hey.

Oh, wait a minute, you finish your homework?

Who finished their homework?

So get in there and finish it.

My goodness, what's wrong with ya?

[gentle music]

Sandra.

Sandra.

Bobby, Bobby, where is Sandra?

- She went to the store. - For what?

I don't know.

Anyway,

when she gets back,

you tell her I want her to put Instagram on my phone.

My whole life.

My whole life...

I've been watching kids.

[somber music]

It is really simple.

Williamsburg is the only area in the whole

country that was not affected by the housing crash.

In fact,

during that time, it actually grew.

So, the area around it...

Bedstuy is next in line.

Soon all five boroughs will be gone.

We are sitting on ground zero.

My associate has a large share in Brooklyn

and is willing to team up with us for a price.

Ultimately gentlemen, what we get

is a huge slice of Brooklyn.

So, if we bring in 100 ki's a week,

we'll be able to destabilize the neighborhood.

What we do is we flood it hard, then we pull out.

After that we call the police with the help of our friend.

Now we have the cash and the property

is ready for us to take at a lower price.

MAN: I'm not worried about the niggas,

I'm worried about the Jews and if they

gonna do what they say they gonna do.

As long as the money is right, we are all right with them.

That's what it all boils down to anyway, right?

What you thinking about, baby?

I had a dream last night that...

my whole family was together for Thanksgiving.

We were all down South at one of

those big houses my grandmother grew up in.

Well, that was definitely that, a dream,

'cause you know your family all over the damn place.

You got this one here in rehab,

this one here on probation, this one here in jail.

I'm just playing, I'm just playing, make it happen.

You could start with buying a house.

Yeah, whatever.

So, am I gonna get to see you later?

I don't know, I gotta take my wife shopping later.

I need my weed money.

All right.

Yo, calm the fuck down.

Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm.

No come on, son, I ain't even seen this one yet.

At least let me record it.

No, I'm not playing with you.

Yo, stop playing, yo, I'm not playing with you.

Yo, Oscar just got shot.

- Say word? - Yeah.

Fuck.

He okay? - I don't even know.

Isis is coming over now to tell me everything.

- For what? - What you mean for what?

We don't need to get mixed up in that shit.

War is bad for business

and business doin' damn good right now.

We don't need this shit.

That nigga don't listen no ways,

ain't no telling what he got himself into.

[doorbell buzzing]

Look that's her. Listen to what she has to say, all right?

She's my best friend and you know that.

Listen to what she has to say.

The bullet miss everything. - That's great.

I thought he was dead the way you was tellin' it.

See, he cool. I'm glad he doin' good.

Y'all got a baby to take care of.

So maybe he should just go somewhere and chill for a while.

Him don't listen, him is too tough.

Look...

The reason I'm here is I need your help.

Y'all been together for a long time.

A few years after us and he comes home every night.

Yeah, whatever.

So what you need?

Y'all know...

me's a peaceful person.

Nah nah nah, come on, man.

I don't want those problems, I don't need those problems.

I'm a businessman and I got a family.

I ain't out there wiling like I was when I was younger.

I know, I know, and I'm really sorry

to ask you to get involved in all of this but...

me love him...

so much and I don't wanna see anything else happen to him.

I would kill...

everybody...

for that man.

Nah, why don't y'all just go somewhere, just disappear?

I know he got mad money stashed.

As soon as the baby born but

I can't leave and go anywhere right now.

Suppose I have some kind of medical issue.

The best hospitals are here, you know that.

You thirsty? Let me get you something to drink.

You know what, if him uncle kill him...

me, I'm gonna kill off all of them blood clots

and he who don't stand with me, stand against me.

Yo, you need to calm your ass down.

ISIS: Yo, come.

Did I act like that when I was pregnant?

She's bugging.

I can't fuckin' save the world.

I know sir, you always have the key.

[tense music]

Please, let me know when it's my nephew's funeral.

I would like to pay my respects.

[shrieking]

Oh thank you, I love my shirt.

I should've had on a better bra.

My favorite color. Oh don't forget, that's my fan.

That shirt'll look real good on you in New Orleans.

Why is everybody trying to get rid of me?

Ain't nobody trying to get rid of you.

You the one that said you wanted

to move down to New Orleans, right?

I'm just telling you that right about now is a good time.

Where the hell am I going to live?

I ain't got no money for rent,

much less to move.

Plus Peaches ain't finished that rehab yet

and the kids, they still in school.

Have you been practicing?

No, no you haven't been.

Hold on.

How about we sing something for your grandmamma.

- Go on, now. - Stop hypin' 'em up.

You know you ain't gonna be here to help

when I can't get them to do their homework.

Miss Gloria, listen to me,

one thing we will help with is that money.

You ain't gotta worry about that.

Between me and Profit, we got that covered, all right?

Y'all niggas must think I'm stupid.

Look,

the police don't play in the South

and I ain't got no time for y'all.

I'm gonna go see a lawyer

Grandma, what's up? I came as soon as I heard.

Oh, no, no, no, no, you can't be here

because I don't want no trouble.

What, I ain't even do nothing?

Still, I don't care.

These people just need a little hint, and then bam.

Are you serious?

You already got an eviction notice for what?

- I wanna know. - Exactly.

So why would I want to give them a reason, a real reason?

Porsha...

Come on, man, I need to talk to you--

Go on.

Gloria, I'm gonna talk to you later, all right?

Yeah she paying, hell, I give her the money every month.

Anyway, she need to get the fuck outta here, man.

Shit is gettin' hot right now, too.

You know they touched your boy Oscar.

Yeah, I know.

We gonna need to double up. I need some more cash.

Look, the labor about to jump off.

You think Jay gonna walk us into his boy?

Shit, I don't know.

Yo, what we gonna do about her, though?

Don't worry about her,

Now, I got a way to get it clean. We good.

How much we talking?

I can't help you with that right now either.

Look, son, I can do it later. I got you, alright?

Yo, I definitely can't afford to go

to war with that nigga Santiago now.

Nah, you do not need to go to war with Santiago.

Just let that shit ride.

There's gonna be news and the cops and...

I get our stuff from the same guys he gets his from.

I'm gonna talk to him and make sure he don't do nothing stupid.

Come on, look, I'm gonna take the steps.

I need to get uptown and check out my spot, all right?

Stay up.

[dramatic music]

First we move in and then we cut him off.

Why you waiting?

You gotta move quick.

[speaks Spanish]

Oscar's gone, you need to get all three projects

and if that fucker can deliver what he says, then do it.

Who do you think you're talking to, huh?

[speaking Spanish]

Papi,

I'm not telling you what to do.

I just hate to see people play you.

It's Shango who is saying this, not me.

Ah, shit.

What up boy, what I told you?

You gotta be nice with them hands.

Get them hands up, keep 'em up.

- All right, that's better. - What up, boss?

- What's good with you? - Hey, man, can't call it.

- How's business? - It's all right.

You know the Jakes out here lurking like always.

- Man, yo, that's fly man. - What, this old thing?

- Yeah. - Nah, it's nothing.

You can cop one too if you keep doing what you doing.

Yeah, but man, they ain't even let me step up.

You know I can do a lot more than this.

Nah, we see you.

Don't even worry about that.

I got something special in mind for you.

You's a hard worker and I fucks with that

but you gotta pay them dues first, son.

Yeah, I feel you.

So just, you know, slow it down a little bit.

Shit, I'm trying to be like you, man.

Gettin' that money, chains, watches,

Yo, I'm a get up outta here

I think I see one right now.

Nah, I seen him.

MAN ON PHONE: Listen, he won't find out.

Let's get this easy money, then clean house.

You think we are making as much money on this as he is?

Come on, we already talked about this, okay?

I'm going to finish up now.

I'm sorry I can't hold my liquor.

So, we have a deal right?

I'll start you off with 50.

You're making 1500 on each one

but I need you to keep your orders at 50 a week.

Once I've got Lindsey, I'll be able to do more than that.

I can help you with that one.

What?

Yo, chill out, little man, I just wanna talk business.

Nah, I'm good big man.

Hey, man, how about I get you a promotion?

Put some money in your pocket, get you up off this bench.

I'm not into scamming, big man.

Yo, how about I front you a brick? Hm?

Hey, I got an eye for identifying

some talent with some real promise, man.

I just want to grow as you grow, that's all.

You still here?

I told you I'm not into all that, man.

I'm good, I work with somebody.

Look man, there's a war going on out here.

You don't wanna get caught up on the wrong side.

Now look, I got a real sweet connect.

Now look, life's all about changes,

it's how you ride that wave.

Now, that's wisdom.

This shit could be yours, Lindsey could be yours.

Get your mama up outta there, get yourself some new gear.

Put some money in your pocket, get you an Xbox,

whatever you little niggas do.

Who the fuck are you, bro?

How I know you ain't the Feds or some shit like that?

I'm Big G...

and I'm a businessman.

I'm like a scout for like the NBA, you know?

I've got an eye for talent.

Now my team, we heavily invested in Santiago

and I know you heard about what happened, right?

Good.

Now look,

I'm gonna leave you with this last gem before I step off.

Any time a man is given a business opportunity,

it should only take him one minute to decide.

Now, my team is moving fast

and every day shit is changing around here.

So you don't wanna get caught up

out there in the cold, you feel me?

Don't take too long.

[dramatic music]

[strong Jamaican accent]

Yes.

Them chop him up...

into 12 pieces.

I had to wrap him up...

like a mummy.

What a evil man.

I can't--

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[tires screeching] [crash]

MAN: You sure you don't wanna wait before we hit Profit?

He might not even take her side.

SANTIAGO: I don't care.

It's nothing personal, okay?

I just have to send a message to the others.

I'm a professional, I take pride in what I do.

I'm gonna have to add on to the rate.

I'm a military style man,

this is some street shit which always ends messy, man.

Okay, okay, how much do you want?

You got it, all right?

But first we do it my way, all right?

I am the customer.

Rule number one, you gotta keep the customer happy, right?

Rule number one in my book is to protect my life.

I don't go in shit blind without a plan.

It never ends well.

Trust and believe man, I'm a handle mines.

If we do it your way and if it don't work,

we go back and do it my way and I gotta clean everybody's

[sirens blaring]

CRYSTAL: So what you think?

Yo, come on, man, I'm hungry.

Let me get some of that, you know what I'm saying?

- Yo, Bam, what up man? - Yo.

Or you know our buddy over there?

Yeah yeah yeah, we cool and shit.

Where Profit at, though?

Why?

Nah, he was talking about

bumpin' me up, something like that.

Wanted to talk a little more about it.

- Bumpin' you up? - Yeah.

Listen, man, yo, slow your roll little, nigga, all right?

Learn to motherfuckin' count first.

Shit ain't sweet out here,

Listen, consider it a privilege to work with us, all right?

See them niggas up the block?

Them niggas gettin' merc'd for stupid shit.

We out here gettin' money.

Just 'cause you see me on this fly shit, huh,

- You smell me? - Yeah, I hear you.

[heavy Jamaican accent]

Yo, Isis, please don't worry about all of that

because I'm gonna take care of my uncle.

No, let off of me now.

[dramatic music]

Oh, my God. Gloria, you really scared us.

I mean what the hell? You can't cross the street now?

I'm okay. Look like I broke my hip, but I'm okay, though.

Crystal, take my picture.

I want to put it on Instagram.

Grandma, what happened?

Damn dope fiend took my bag, he lucky I didn't cut him.

What he look like?

I don't know, I couldn't see him.

Sorry, we need to take her down for more x-rays.

You all can wait in the waiting area if you like.

Okay, I'm gonna go get some food and come back okay?

Come on.

Let me talk to Grandma real quick. Give me a second.

NURSE: Okay, I'll come back in five minutes.

- Thank you. - What's wrong?

I told you I didn't see him.

I just wanted to say thank you.

I thought I lost you on the ride over here.

It was the longest 20 minutes of my life.

I appreciate everything that you've done for me,

for us, the whole family.

I'm grateful.

So I just...

I just had to say thank you.

I know you do.

I want all y'all to make it in this world,

I don't judge you.

We always find a way to live.

You know I was thinking...

do you ever think about the fact

that your daddy died from drugs,

your mama died...

from drugs and the whole family is either...

on drugs or selling them?

My daddy was killed by the cops.

Because he was on drugs.

What do you think will happen if

you go around stealing

just like that boy with them ugly

orange sneakers who tried to rob me?

The police gonna catch up with him too.

I'm not trying to run your life

or tell you what to do with your life.

I stopped believing in God a long time ago

right after your grandaddy was killed by the police.

I came to New York...

to be someone...

to buy my mother a house.

But when I got up here...

and had kids...

life happened.

Come on Grandma,

you can't just sit up here and play the victim.

You got seven kids and you tellin' me life just happened?

You ever stop and think that at some point maybe

you had something to do with the fact that all

seven of your kids turned out the exact same way?

My mother was a sharecropper down South.

She wasn't educated...

I wasn't educated much...

and I ain't had no daddy.

By the time I learned about life...

I was a grandmother.

You damn right.

Don't let life happen to you.

Make life happen...

for you.

Yo I was fuckin' with these bitches last night.

Bitch talkin' about she wanted to

blow on a Tootsie-Roll and shit, man.

Who the fuck is these niggas, man?

- Come on. You don't fuck up. - What?

Oh, shit.

Tell Profit we're looking for him.

Yo, Herb, man, I gotta get outta here, man.

HERB: All right, I got you right now.

Hey Profit, I'm glad I ran into you.

Check this out,

I just printed out the proposal for the Center.

Damn Black, you serious about this, huh?

Yeah.

You gonna have a basketball team too?

Oh yeah, yes.

But more importantly,

we're gonna teach the little ones about us.

You know Marcus Garvey once said that God and nature

made us into who we are but then we in our own

creative genius made ourselves into who we gonna be.

That's deep.

Yo but I gotta go, though, my girl's in the car.

Before you leave,

I want you to check out the last page of this.

I mean I really want to know what you think.

All right man, I'll get you the money,

I'll go in with you.

But I gotta go, man, my girl's gonna kill me.

- I'll hit you tomorrow. - That's dope.

All right, all right, all right, okay, all right.

Come on, man.

So what you was talkin' to Black about?

He want me to help him start this after school program.

I think I'm a do it.

How you gonna start an after

school program if you can't even read?

I don't need to fuckin' read, I can count.

You know what, maybe that is a good idea.

You know, it's about time you put your money

behind something worthwhile instead of

putting it behind rappers and other BS.

You know what, and now maybe you can go

back to school and get your GED. That's dope.

Yo, I wanna talk to you a little bit more about

me gettin' bumped up, because I was talkin' to a man

about that shit and he was buggin' out on me.

Yo, but yo, you said you was gonna--

All right, all right, cool.

- What's good, niggas? - What's popping, what's up?

[indistinct] All money down's a bet.

$200 or better, come on, nigga.

- Shoot that shit. - What the fuck is you talking about?

Hold on, hold on, what's up [indistinct]?

Y'all trying to intimidate my bitch?

Hold up man, yo, I get money, nigga.

Y'all niggas shoot this, here baby.

I'm like the cool older brother, nigga.

I get money and I let that hammer go, nigga.

Yo, man ,what up, nigga, what you doin' over here?

Y'all niggas know what's up, feel me?

MAN: I don't know nothing.

Yo, what's up man?

I don't know, man. I just wanted to you a little bit, son.

Yo, son, just found a connect,

they're offering bricks, heavy shit.

So what you gonna do? You're takin' it, right?

It ain't that easy, fam, you know that.

Profit had me around since I was knee high.

Listen man, ain't no pitchin' in this shit, man,

only opportunity. Get the money, get the bricks.

Yo, what's good?

Y'all talkin' about some big money over here.

- Listen, listen, listen. - What's good, bro?

Listen man, get the bricks, get the money.

Wait wait wait wait,

Profit takin' good care of you on that bench, man.

You sure you ready for the big leagues?

What?

Look man, get the bricks, you got them hitters.

If it come to it with Profit, anybody, man,

I got you, I'm gonna hold you down, baby.

Shit, that's all I need to hear, bro, all right.

Bam. Be easy, man.

- What's up with you? - What you mean?

Why you ain't playing with everybody else?

I'm waiting on my dad,

he said he taking me fishing today.

It's too late to go fishing.

Y'all should've left by this morning.

Well I've been here since this morning

but maybe we're leaving tonight to sleep over

and start early in the morning.

Besides it is Bear Mountain, and it is a long ride.

You know me and your dad are like brothers, right?

Your grandmother and my mother are like sisters.

In fact, I'm the one that gave you that name, Profit.

You know why?

'Cause I ain't never seen a boy that can add like you.

I always did go to the store for everybody

and some people would tell me to keep the change.

So when you goin' for everybody, I had to know how much

change I could keep and how much change I could give back.

I guess so.

It's gettin' kinda late.

I don't think your dad is coming, son.

Besides, you ain't hungry?

It's dinnertime.

He said he was coming.

He promised.

He gave me his word, he swore to God.

Look, Profit, I'm gonna have to tell you something.

You may not understand this, but I hope

when you get older, you remember it.

Your father is no longer your father.

He done got hooked on them drugs

and all he knows is those drugs.

The man...

who was your father...

he died a long time ago.

Only God can bring him back.

So now I need you to be a man and take care of your family...

your grandmother, your sister, your cousins, they need you.

You do what you gotta do to take care of your family.

You choose to live and die by your terms.

They need you to lead them.

God needs you...

to keep your word.
