>> Previously on

"The Family Business"...

>> I already spread these around

with the club dealers last

Friday.

My phone's been blowing up.

>> $500,000 wholesale or retail?

>> Think of this as a gift from

the Duncans.

>> Caliente, a dope fiend's

dream.

>> There is no gift that can

replace my son.

Now, is there?

>> Daddy?

>> Lou.

>> * Yo

>> * We got a mansion in Dubai

>> * It's the family business

>> * Oh, nah, nah

>> * Family business

>> * If one win

>> * Family business

>>

Look, man, we live in a world

where bad people do bad things,

and they would've done that

whether you were there or not.

And I'm glad you weren't there.

But I promise you, we're gonna

find them, and when we do, we're

gonna let them know they messed

with the wrong family.

>> Yeah.

>> Now, you a soldier.

Straighten up, man. All right?

>> Yeah.

>> You a soldier, right?

>> Yeah.

>> All right. Let's go.

>>

>>

>> * I think I'll stand...

>> Fuck!

>> * Slavin' away

>>

>> * I know it is selfish, but

>> * Time

>> * And I can't afford to give

>> I want to thank you all for

coming out.

You know, my brother Lou, he,

uh...believed in God, but he

wasn't a big churchgoing guy.

And he made me promise that I

wouldn't give him a church

sendoff, nah, but that I would

throw him a party, a party with

lots of cigars, good food, good

drinks.

>> * And you are the one...

>> See, Lou...

he wanted his friends, family to

hold on to the good times.

>> * Wishin' I had more of you

>> Anybody who knew Lou, they

knew he loved to have a good

time.

He loved this place, so it seems

only fitting if we spread his

ashes here.

So...

>> * Time

>> * You're eternal

>> * Time

>> * You're not God, but you

>> * Time

>> "Chip."

There you go.

>> * Slippin' away

>> Carl. Carlos.

I swear the only people I saw

last night was johns.

And they was all regulars.

Look, if you want some

information, then why don't you

go to talk to Ronnie?

>> Oh, Ronnie with the buses?

>> Yeah, Ronnie with the buses.

>> Man, do us all a favor,

Ronnie!

Tell us!

Now, who killed Lou?

>> Man, I don't know.

>> Oh, you know.

>> All I know is I heard the

bartender at Benny's talking

like it was an inside job.

>> What? You getting tired?

Man, I could do this shit all

day.

Talk!

>> Okay!

Look, I don't know his name, but

he messes with a waitress

named -- uh, named Sheryl.

>> Now, Sheryl...

who's more important, your

husband here or your side dude?

>> Huh?

>>

>> So, what's up, then?

You not gonna eat?

>> I don't have much of an

appetite.

>> Hey, Pop. You good?

>> Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Junior, I want you to change,

get with Paris, meet up with the

twins.

>> Everything okay?

>> They might have a lead as to

who's behind this.

>>

>> Come on. Let's go.

>> Hey, what's up?

>> What's up, man?

>>

So, what do you go for me?

>> Reggie Williams.

>> Reggie?

>> You know him?

>> That's the man.

>> He used to work on our

security detail from time to

time.

>> Talking 'bout that big

motherfucker, that wannabe

boxer, think he a badass

"Fight Club" fanatic?

>> Yeah, that's him.

Always talking shit.

>> Was he on Uncle Lou's detail

that night?

>> I don't know, but I'm gonna

find out.

>> Man, y'all need to get at

this dude.

>> For real.

>> Something like this is way

out of Reggie's league.

He's a wannabe at best, more

muscle than brains.

No way a guy like that is gonna

leave behind that much dough.

He'd be set for life.

>> I don't care whether he did

it or not.

Get at him anyway.

Trust me.

>> Why do you say that?

>> Yo, dudes be talking to a

whole lot of shit to a whole lot

of people.

Man, we have put the fear of the

Duncans name out on the streets.

That's what we did.

But bottom line, we ain't the

Duncans.

>> No way he be talking that

shit if we were.

With Vegas locked up and Lou

dead, [Scoffs] y'all lost y'all

street cred.

>> And, yo, sure, your old man

still is the mystical name on

our streets.

>> Mystical?

>> Yeah, I mean, but, yo, these

young dudes out there that don't

know him and the ones that do

think he's old and y'all

pussies.

>> Y'all can have the streets

thinking y'all pussies.

>> Yo, whoa, whoa!

>> No disrespect.

>> We ain't calling you pussy.

We're not doing that.

But out there, the streets don't

know that.

>> Hell yeah.

>> Perception is reality.

>> Just saying.

>> I know y'all doing y'all big

things with the H.E.A.T. shit.

That's cool. That's what's up.

But y'all need to handle home

first.

>> No doubt, man. Come on, now.

>> You know what?

I think they right.

>> I think it's time for the

world to find out that Vegas

isn't the only badass in the

family.

You guys know where this

Reggie Williams hangs out?

>> Yeah, I know where he be at

on Friday night, and I'll text

you the info.

>> Make it happen.

We're gonna pay him a little

visit.

>> I shouldn't be leaving at

this time.

Your uncle is not gonna change

his mind.

>> He'll listen to you, just

like he listened to L.C.'s

Manny and I will handle things

in your absence.

>> I wish I had your confidence.

This drug the Duncans have

invented is all that people are

talking about.

Their influence could make them

unstoppable if nobody slows them

down.

>> Just go.

Go talk to my uncle and the rest

of the members of the cartel.

Make them understand that you're

more valuable than L.C. Duncan

and his H.E.A.T., okay?

>> Bless you.

>> Hi, sweetie.

What is you doing here?

I just saw your friends Shawn

and Jeffrey in town with their

bikes.

>> I'll catch up with them

later.

I have to finish this PowerPoint

on H.E.A.T. before

Uncle Orlando leaves.

>> H.E.A.T.? What's that?

>> It's this new drug

Uncle Orlando invented.

It's better than crack, heroin,

and methamphetamine combined,

and everyone's saying it's gonna

make us billions.

Cool, right?

>> I'm sure you

think so.

What does your, um, grandfather

say about all this?

>> He says it's the opportunity

of a lifetime, and he wishes

Uncle Lou was here to see it.

>> Hmm.

Okay.

Okay.

>> This is going even better

than planned.

Rio's people have sold over a

million dollars wholesale down

in Miami.

>> Good.

'Cause I want to start

distribution outside the

Northeast, away from my normal

base of operation.

Any objection?

>> It depends.

Are we talking about H.E.A.T.?

Because if we are, I have an

objection about that -- a big

objection about that.

>> But why, Ma?

>> Because it's dangerous,

honey.

I'm sorry.

I know this is important to you,

but I can't get behind this.

Something like this changes the

whole equation.

I mean, do you really think that

the cops are just gonna...

>> Now, let me worry about the

cops.

>> I'm talking to my son.

And anything you say to me,

L.C., is not gonna change my

mind.

Greed and your selfishness

almost got Rio killed, and I'm

not gonna put another one of my

children in that same position.

>> Look, Ma, we're doing the

same things, except now we don't

have to kiss everybody's ass for

the product.

>> Honey, are you that naive?

We have operated below the radar

for the last 30 years.

And your "opportunity" just

opens us up for more exposure --

and not just from the cops.

You think the Italians,

Russians, Jews, other black

families, for that matter, is

gonna kiss that fine black ass

of yours?

No, what they're gonna do --

they're gonna plot, they're

gonna scheme, and they're gonna

take what you made!

>> Who's that supermodel making

her beauty-pageant acceptance

speech?

>> Trent.

>> Blinded by your beauty.

>> Oh, my God, Trent Duncan.

Is that you, honey?

>> Aunt Chippy, how are you?

>> I'm good, baby.

>> What is in your diet?

You know, if Uncle L.C. wasn't

married to you, you know I'd

take you all for myself.

>> Oh, gosh, boy.

Come on, now.

>> Gentlemen.

>> What's up?

>> So, what brings you this way?

A woman, no doubt.

>> How -- Why does it always got

to be about a woman?

>>

>> Uncle didn't tell you?

I'm working with the family

business now.

>> Oh.

There's a lot of things your

uncle hasn't told me lately.

>> We better get going.

We'll be back in a couple of

days.

>> And where you going?

>> Just heading out west for a

couple of days.

We'll be back.

I love you.

>> I love you.

Bye, Trent.

>> Good to see you.

>> You going, uh...

>> See you in a couple days.

>> O-Okay.

And where you going?

>> See ya.

>>

So, my son just kissed me on the

cheek with a suitcase in his

hand, and I have no idea where

he's going.

>> He's president of the

company.

What makes you think I sent him

anywhere?

>> Oh, don't play games with me,

Lavernius.

Anything that boy does, he talks

to you first.

And since when does Trent work

for us?!

>> He just came on the other day

as Orlando's body man.

>> Trent? A body man?

The boy's a con man.

He's not a body man.

And why does my son need a body

man anyway?

Does it have anything to do with

Lou?

>> No.

It's business.

>> You are going to get my son

killed over a drug.

What's happened to you, L.C.?

>>

I am the same man I've always

been, Charlotte.

Let's not forget it was you who

brought me into this drug

business in the first place.

>> We don't need a new drug.

We have enough money, honey.

When is enough gonna be enough?

>> When my children and

grandchildren are in the

White House.

I got the same ambition as

Joe Kennedy.

You know that.

>> Well, I am no

Ethel Kennedy, [Sighs] and this

company has rules.

And this board can vote no.

>> Well, as president, Orlando

has the power to move forward

without a vote until the next

meeting this fall.

And good luck with an emergency

session, since only the

president and chairman, yours

truly, can call for one.

>> Well, understand this.

That emergency board meeting

you're talking about isn't all

that won't be happening anytime

soon.

Your things will be in the guest

room.

>> Damn.

>> Has everything been set up

for the meeting with the

Duncans?

>> Sí.

They arrive later this

afternoon.

Has my uncle left yet?

>> Yes, he had reservations, but

he's finally gone.

I never thought he would leave.

>> Neither did I.

>> * Ay

>> * All my life, I've been

>> * Falling

>> * Think that I'm above the

>> * Oh

>> * Ay

>> * Oh

>> * Exotic cars and the

>> Are sure this the place?

I don't know.

This don't look like much to me.

>> Says it's the place.

>> All right. Let's go.

>> * We won't stop

>> How are things with your

nurse friend?

>> Her name is Sonya, and

everything is good.

We're supposed to go out

tonight.

>> You hit it yet?

>> And that is absolutely none

of your business.

>> I'm j-- You seem a little

stressed.

I figured you was a little

backed up.

>> You are out of your mind.

We got work to do. Let's go.

>> Come on, man!

Get in there!

>> Ohh!

>> Recognize.

>> Ohh!

>> Damn.

>> Get some!

>> Thank you.

>> I got a handful of money

right now say I can whup every

man in here.

I want to know something.

Who's next?! Who's got game?!

Junior Duncan.

What you doing here?

What, am I late for work?

I mean, I know it ain't to

fight, 'cause everybody know

that the Duncans are soft.

>>

So, you got jokes, huh?

Well, I didn't come here to

joke.

I came here for answers.

>> This ain't no game show.

If you want answers, you need to

go to a fortune teller.

>> You're gonna have to do

better than that, Reggie.

>> I ain't got to do shit.

>> Together: Ooh!

>> 'Cause I do my business with

these.

Ain't that right?

>> Yes.

>> Ohh!

>> And I my talkin' with these,

too.

>> Don't nobody move!

You want to try me?

>> I wouldn't do that.

>> Yeah.

We should be hearing something

by tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll call you then.

That was my boss, gentlemen.

Hope I wasn't giving him false

information.

You guys will be able to get rid

of our mutual problem, right?

In here, you're gonna find all

the information you need -- plus

a little gift from Mr. Duncan

for your troubles.

>> You will be hearing from us

real soon.

>> Good day, gentlemen.

>>

>> Ow!

>> It's time to talk, Reggie.

It's time for you to tell me the

truth about why you weren't at

work the night my Uncle Lou got

killed.

>> M-My head is killing me.

>> Come on.

>> Man, let me clear my

thoughts, okay.

>> Wake up.

>> Look, look, look.

What did you hit me

with, a brick?

>> Spit that shit out!

>> Or I can shoot you in your

head and end all your damn pain.

>> You mean it, don't you?

>> I do.

>> I didn't know that they were

gonna do that to Lou.

I liked Lou.

Everybody liked Lou.

They said they just wanted to

borrow some of the cars.

>> Who's they?

>> You know, the -- the white

dude, Michael Diamond -- real

loud, sound like he on the

"6:00 News."

For a white dude, he is real

informed about what's going on

in these streets.

>> You better not be lying.

>> Look, I'm not. I swear.

>> You got relatives out of

state, right?

>> Yeah.

>> I suggest you get

reacquainted with them.

Because in this city...

you're done.

If I ever see you again, you're

a dead man.

>> You understand him?

Do you understand him?

>> Aah!

>> Ooh!

>> Speak up.

I said, "Do you understand him?"

>> Yes, yes, I understand.

Look, look, look.

I'm gone. I'm gone.

You'll never see me again.

I swear. I swear.

I'm out.

>> I think he understands.

>> Yeah, she gonna shoot you in

the pee-pee.

>> Oh, and the bullet is just to

remind you we ain't soft.

Get your shit fixed.

You can't be walking around with

one leg.

You're too big.

>>

>> Bye, Reggie.

>>

>> Harris, I want to come home

now.

I don't need to be here.

I'm not crazy.

>> Baby, listen to me.

No one's saying you're crazy.

You're experiencing what they

call postpartum depression,

honey.

>> Oh, shut up, Harris.

I don't have postpartum

depression.

>> Then what do you call it

London, huh?

You locked yourself up in your

bedroom for two weeks.

You're not eating, you're losing

weight.

Come on, that's something.

>> Yeah, I might've been a

little out of it, Harris,

because I just had a damn baby,

and I didn't even get to go to

my uncle's funeral.

>> I know, baby, and I'm

sorry, but you got to sit tight.

The doctors said you need time

for the medication to get into

your system.

You're gonna be home soon, I

promise.

>> Harris, I want to come home

now.

>> I'm sorry, babe, but you

can't.

>> Not easy being married to a

Duncan, is it?

>> The hell are you doing here,

Donna?

>> Oh, I'm here to get a copy of

my husband's will.

I mean, I know if he had one,

you drew it up.

>> I thought I was cold, but you

know what?

You're an icicle.

You didn't even show up at the

man's funeral, but now you'll

waltz up in here trying to

capitalize on his death?

I mean, who does that but you?

>> Look, Harris, I don't have

time to go back and forth with

you.

I've already cashed in on his

life-insurance policies, and I'm

entitled to whatever I have

coming to me.

Now...how about that will?

>> Well, L.C. is executor of his

estate, so you're gonna have to

talk to him about that, but I'm

sure he'll make sure you get

whatever's coming to you.

>> Mm.

Well, I guess I'll have to pay

Mr. L.C. Duncan a visit, hmm?

>>

>> Mm.

Yeah.

>> * Let's keep it one, honey

>> * Oh

>> * Yeah

>> * Oh

>> * Aw, keep it one, honey

>>

>> * Aw, let's keep it one,

>> I heard you wanted to see me,

Sebastian?

>>

I hear you've been getting into

my side of the business.

>> And what side is that?

I've been working the club

business for the past three

years.

>> Yes, and I let that go

because my people work in your

club.

But, as of late, my people have

been coming up short, and, all

of a sudden, my people in every

club citywide are coming up

short.

So I sent Baby and Doll to

figure out what the problem was.

>> And I take it they found the

problem.

>> They did.

>> And you think that I had

something to do with that.

>> I do.

>> Let me be pretty transparent

and clear.

I didn't have something to do

with it.

I had everything to do with it.

>>

You platinum-headed...

prick!

Do you know who I am?

>> I know exactly who

you are, Sebastian.

You're the biggest club dealer

in South Florida.

Oh, and your mama lives on

15th Street in Hialeah, and your

sister and nephew live on the

other side of the projects on

North Boulevard, and your

grandma, God bless her soul,

still lives in the same house

that you were raised in on

Juliette.

Now, let me tell you who I am.

My name is Rio Duncan, and my

family's the sole distributor of

H.E.A.T., the new drug that's

gonna put you out of business.

We've got the Italians, the

Cubans, the Mexicans, the

Russians -- pretty much every

ethnic group kissing our black

asses for this shit.

Now, you can kill me if you

want.

By the end of the week, all your

clubs will be burned down and

these two will be looking for

your body in the Everglades.

>> * Let's keep it real now

>> * Keep it one, honey

>> * Yeah

>> You think so?

>> Oh, I know so.

>>

Whew! You got some balls on you.

>>

Unfortunately, I don't mix

business with pleasure, so

you'll never know.

>> Aw, that's a shame, pretty

boy like yourself.

>> Hmm.

Maybe, however, we can do a

win-win scenario here.

>> Yeah? What's that?

>> You're gonna be the sole

distributor of H.E.A.T. in

South Florida.

Hell, all of Florida.

>> * Rowr

>> * Let's keep it real now

>> * Keep it one, honey

>> * I shouldn't have to say,

>> * Yeah

>> * Let's keep it real now

>> * I know what you want

>> I like the way you do

business, Rio.

It's a shame you don't mix

business with pleasure.

We could've

had a lot of fun.

>> That's too bad for you.

>> Baby.

>> Keith, will you please

explain to my grandson the

importance of keeping his shoes

shined?

I tell him you can have the best

clothes, the best jewelry, but

if your shoes are funky, you

might as well be naked.

>> Believe me, Grandpa, I've

been waiting for this day for

years.

>>

Well, you're at the best place

to get it done.

>> How'd it go?

>> We've been looking all over

for this Michael Diamond guy,

but it seems as if he just up

and disappeared.

>> Mm.

Put $25,000 on his head.

He'll pop up.

And when he does, we'll be

ready.

>> Okay.

>> All right.

>> Hey, I got to take this call.

You go ahead.

>> Come on, man.

We don't have time for this.

We got to get in there.

All right.

Hola. ¿Qué tal?

>> Manny.

>> You're Manny. Okay.

Come on.

>> Ruby.

>> I just want you to know I'm

getting married soon.

>> Baby, please don't do this.

>> Hola, señora. ¿Qué tal?

Mucho gusto.

>> So, are you the infamous

Orlando Duncan that my husband

has spoken of so much?

>> Sí, I'm Orlando.

>> I'm in charge now.

Things are gonna be different.

You guys are gonna be able to

make some money -- some actual

money.

You're gonna get paid, and not

just Randy getting pay...

>> You plan on being in charge,

Vinny?

Because last time I checked, I

thought Randy was in charge.

You know Randy, the guy that's

protecting you from the Italians

and the Duncans, them?

No.

My brother gone to Philly for a

few days to check on things and

is sitting here planning demise?

You know what?

>> Make

and come back.

>> Ok-- Guys, let me just talk

to my fiancée for a second.

Sweetheart, you're taking this

all out of context, okay?

You think I'm gonna lie to you.

I'm talking about the future,

the what-ifs in life.

Look, Randy's a wanted man in

this country -- for murder.

He's gonna have to go

underground for a little bit,

right?

I got to take over.

Someone's got to take over.

>> Maybe.

But let's not talk like it's

tomorrow.

O-- I'm trying to blow off some

steam right now, okay?

I got a lot of stuff going on.

It's just a few more days, okay?

It's just a few more days, and

we're gonna get married.

I can't wait to make love to

you.

>> I hope you're not just

marrying me for sex.

>> What, as opposed to you

marrying me for a good business

decision?

>> You know what, Vinny?

Believe it or not, I actually do

have feelings for you.

>> I wish I could believe that.

>>

>> ¿Dónde está tu marido?

Where's your husband?

>> He's stuck in México.

He's asked me and my nephew to

conduct this meeting for him.

>> Oh, okay. Vale.

No problem.

Listen, señora, las mujeres son

más razonables.

>> Who is this?

>> This is Trent, our top

chemist at H.E.A.T.

>> Very nice of Orlando, but

where is your father,

L.C. Duncan?

I expected him in this meeting.

>> Uh, mi padre...

My father is semi-retired.

He no longer runs the day-to-day

operations -- I do.

>> I'm pretty sure he's so proud

of you.

>> I hope so.

I try to make him proud every

day.

>> I, too, had a son...

a son that was very proud of his

father and his mother.

>> With all due respect, señora,

we come here not only to resolve

our family differences but also

offer you a gift and a wonderful

business opportunity.

>> I used to have a lot of

respect for the Duncan family.

Your brother Vegas saved my life

from a rebel cartel in 2004.

We were stuck in the desert for

about six months.

He was a good man.

That's the reason why I pushed

my husband so much to work with

your family and let my son go to

New York last year.

We were once a very close

family, and that's what I wanted

to try to do again.

I never dreamed in my life...

that my son would be coming home

in a body bag.

>> I'm very sorry for your loss.

>> So am I.

However, I have my nephew here,

Manny, to take over, to carry

on.

He's my husband's sister's son.

My husband Alejandro loves him

like a son, too.

And he will carry on just as

much as you are probably

carrying on for your father.

>> Right, of course. Yes.

Well, I'm sure you can both

agree that our -- our business

opportunities...

>> Before that, I need him to do

something.

He must teach L.C. the same

thing the Duncans have taught

me...

the pain of losing my son.

Shoot him.

>> No! Don't --

>>

>> What about him?

>> We don't need any witnesses.

Shoot him, too.

>> Alejandro.

You were given a directive.

You were told to make peace with

the Duncans, yet you show up

arguing why you should not.

>> Orlando Duncan sits in my

compound as we speak.

However, I'm here to talk some

sense into you.

The Duncans are not what you

think.

>> It doesn't matter what I

think.

You see, the Duncans, they have

something that we want.

This new drug, it's providing to

be more lucrative and desirable

than anyone anticipated -- you,

me, the Cubans, the Africans,

the Italians -- worldwide.

You let me down a little bit,

I smell fragrances of weakness

on you, which I have never done

before.

No disrespect.

You have been a very valuable

part of what we do for many

years.

It would hurt me personally for

me to -- to end that

relationship.

>> What, do you expect me to

work with a man who I suspect

killed my son?

>>

>>

>>

>>

Why am I hearing this, this

news?

We're going to war now, right?

I'm hearing that your people

murdered, killed Orlando Duncan.

Why am I hearing that?

>> I didn't order a death on

anyone.

>> If you haven't authorized it,

then someone else did.

Promised that no harm would come

to him.

They made us look like pendejos

and enemies of the Duncans.

>> No.

I'm gonna return to my home

right now, and I'm gonna clear

this up.

>> Siéntete.

You break my heart.

You break my heart.

You will not be going anywhere.

Home?

Nah.

In fact, you've tasted your last

plate of ceviche.

Get him out of my face.

>>

So, is this where you live?

>> Well, actually, it's my

family's summer home, but, yeah,

this is my house, too.

>> Look, [Laughs] you know, I-I

like you.

I like you a lot, but I'm just a

girl from the projects.

I'm not used to being around a

whole bunch of high-society

folks.

>>

We're not high society, trust

me.

>> Oh, yeah, well, I could tell

that by the, uh, Ferrari,

Porsche, Bentley I saw parked

out front.

Look, I just don't want to

embarrass you all myself.

>> Listen to me.

Don't let the fancy cars fool

you.

My family is as dysfunctional as

they come.

Now, come on.

I can already smell my dad's

barbecue.

>> Okay.

You have, uh...

Can't let Mama see that.

>> Right.

>> Okay.

>> Aw.

What the...

Hola.

Sí.

Hmm.

Bueno.

My people made the call.

Alejandro is

as good as dead.

>> So now we wait.

It will not be long until they

ask you to run his operations.

>>

Did you have this planned all

along?

>> No.

I didn't plan anything until I

realized my husband was not

gonna avenge Miguel.

That's when I seduced you.

>>

Lucky me.

>> So...

>>

>> No. No, get your own.

>> I know. Yeah, I know!

He gonna be so pretty.

>> Grandpa, someone's hear for

you.

>> Juan.

What are you doing here?

>> Oh, my God.

>> Juan?

>> He's dead, isn't he?

Orlando's dead?

>> No.

>> Yes, he is.

You have my deepest condolences.

>> Oh. Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, my God!
