I don't even know
what I'm doin'
in this car.

You shot Rafe,
Damon?!

How did you know
I was seein' him?

How do you even know
where he lives?!

Look, Jessica,
I'm not gonna sit here
and lie to you,

but this situation
ain't as simple
as you might think.

Not as simple
as I think?

He told me
what happened, Damon.

He was coming out
of the elevator,

bumped into you,

you guys exchanged
a few words,

got into a scuffle,
and you shothim!

I saw you run out
of the building.
Did you forget?

I thought
you was tired
of this life.

You sell me
all this bullshit

about me leavin'
the streets alone,

but then you
turn around and go
fuck with this dude?

What does me
not wanting to
have to worry

about the man
that I'm with
every night

have to do
with me seeing Rafe?

Why did you
have to do this, Damon?

Do you hate
to see me happy
that much?

But, Jessica,
this had nothin'
to do with you.

Nothing to do
with me.

I saw your boy Black
come to see Rafe today.

He told you
I was here?

The world is small,
Jessica.

But the streets
are even smaller.

I didn't
send Black in there.
He went there on his own.

But your boy Rafe,

he's selling you
a bunch of bullshit,
though.

A bunch of bullshit
about what, Damon?

First of all,

me and him
ain't get into
no scuffle

about words
being exchanged.

That motherfucker
knee-deep in the streets.

How do you know that?
You don't even know him!

I met that boy
a while ago.

He came to the trap
to sell me work.

Rafe does
construction, Damon.

He has a job.

If that motherfucker
got a job,

then he in the streets
on the side.

Black done told me
about that boy.

Black?

You expect me
to believe this
comin' from Black?

I've always told you
I've nevertrusted him.

Never trusted him
in our home,

never trusted him
with anything.

I've always felt
like he was a snake.

Jessica,
listen.

I'm only here
because I love you.

Always have,
always will.

You "love" me?

- I can't do this.
- Can't do what, Jessica?

Six years
with a nigga

and that shit
don't mean nothin' to you?

Well, I guess it must
mean somethin'

because you ain't tell
your little boyfriend Rafe

that it was me
that shot him.

How?

How do I tell him

that the man
that shot him

is my
ex-boyfriend?

How do I tell him
I'm bringing

that type of drama
into his life, Damon?

So it's fuck me,
then?!

I can't do this.
I'm not gonna sit here

and listen to any more
of your lies.

Stay away from us,
Damon!

Jessica.

Jessica!

Jessica!

Jessica!

- Where the money at?
- Sorry, Bunky, I ain't got it.

What you mean
you ain't got it, man?
You got-- you got high,

you got your hit.
Where the fuck's
my dough at?

Next time I see you,

I'm gonna kill you,
motherfucker,

if you don't got
that money.

[ speaking Haitian Creole ]

Yo.

Appreciate
the change of clothes.

You really didn't have to
come get me, Kane.

I could've just
called a cab.

Where'd you get
the car from?

Yo, it's a rental
from Z Motors.

A rental?

Sure doesn't look
like one.

[ sighs ]

Yeah, man,
I knew I had to
come pick you up,

so I decided
to go pick up a rental.

I hope you're out here
doing what you gotta do

- and not blowing
this money, Kane.
- [ chuckles ]

Ain't that what
money's for, Rafe,
to be spent?

You'll learn.
We all had to.

Man, I guess.

But, yo, can I
be honest with you?

Of course.
What's up?

[ sighs ]

Yo, no matter
how many times you tell me
that this isn't my fault,

I can't help to think
that it is.

I'm the one
that convinced you
to give me your gun.

First and foremost,

you did not
convince me
to do anything.

I'm a grown-ass man, Kane,
and I made a choice.

It just so happens
that it wasn't
the best choice

to make
at that moment, man.

But I had a lot
on my mind.

Bottom line
is I don't blame you,

so don't go
beatin' yourself up, man.

I'm fine.
That's all that matters.

I guess, man.
It's just crazy
how life works, yo.

Everything happens
for a reason.

God makes
no mistakes.

Who knows,
not havin' my hammer

might've saved
my life.

Speakin' of my hammer,
where is it?

There's something
I need to talk to you about.

[ sighs ]

I wanted
to tell you yesterday,

but Shane told me
not to mention it.

Okay, talk.

[ sighs ]
Something happened
the night you left me, Rafe.

Something like what?

Oh, man.

When I got
to my building,
Mister was there

and he tried
to press me.

Don't tell me
you let Mister
take my hammer, Kane.

Are you
fuckin' serious?

- He didn't take it, Rafe.
- So what happened?

[ exhales ]
I ended up shooting him.
It wasn't my fault.

I tried
to take the gun out
just to back him off me

and the gun went off.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah, man.

- Is he dead?
- I don't know.

- I got out of there so fast.
- Did anyone see you?

No. And the crazy thing is
I haven't heard anything
about that since.

The block's only buzzin'
about yougettin' shot.

Okay, so what happened
to my hammer?

Man, I was so scared,
I didn't wanna
keep it on me,

you know, if the cops
jumped out on me
or somethin'.

So I tossed it.

Makes sense.

At least
you were thinkin'.

[ chuckles ]
This is a lot

for my first day
out the hospital.

But I'd be lyin'
if I didn't say

that Mister
had it comin'.

This is not
necessarily
what I meant

when I told you
to stand up
for yourself,

but at least
you tried.

So, you're not mad
about your gun?

Look,
better you toss it

than I come out
the hospital

hearin' that
you got locked up.

I got other
hammers, man.

It's not
a big deal.

But look,

let's get me home.
Come on.

I got you, man.

[ engine starts ]

This is
the address.

Yeah, that's
the address.

You think
one of these guys
is this asshole?

I don't know.
I can't tell.

All right,
let's check 'em out.

Say, one of you fellas
got the key

- to the front door here?
- Nah, I ain't got the key.

Hey!

I wonder who
they're looking for.

I don't know,
but whoever it is,

good luck to them.

They're probably
investigating
who popped Rafe.

I don't know.

That looked like
Homicide to me, bro.

Whether it's
Homicide or not,

it's not
my business.

Hey, yo,
Shane!

What's good,
little man?

Archie?
Yo, what up, man?

Man.
I been gone
that long?

You was gone
for a minute.

What you did,
like, 10 years?

Yeah, I did a dime.
I was with your brother, too.

So when
you got home?

Been home
a couple months
now, Shane.

But I just told you
I was up top with
your brother Barz.

He said you ain't write him
his whole entire bid.

What's up
with that?

I'm just not
into writin', man.

And when
he call the crib,
I'm not there.

I'm out here
chasin' this paper
on these streets.

Ain't nothin' wrong
with that.

Ain't nothin' wrong
with gettin' your paper,

but your brother's
your brother, Shane.

I remember
when your little ass

used to follow him
everywhere that he went.

It's all love,
Archie.

But honestly,
I'm not a kid anymore.

Barz is doin'
that bid, not me.

He didn't think
about his so-called
"little-ass brother"

when he got his ass
sent away forever.

Look, Shane,
nobody intends
to do a bid.

This ain't
the military.

Nobody signs up
to do time.

They're forced.

You know what?
Luckily for him,

he ain't got much longer
to do on that bid, though.

He wrote me
a couple of months back

and let me know
that his appeal
went through,

so he should be home
any day now.

That's great news.

Yo, Shane, I know
you don't know shit

about bein'
behind that wall.

But take it from me,
ain't nothin' sweet
about it.

Nothin' sweet
at all.

I hear you, man.
But, yo, how you
holdin' up out here?

I know everything
look different now.

Hell, yeah.
Flatbush don't even
look the same.

But you know what?
I'm keepin' my head
above water.

I finally got a job,
so my parole officer's
off my back.

But that curfew shit
is annoyin' as hell.

But what I need to be
out here the late hours
of the night for?

Ain't nothin' out here
those hours of the night
but trouble.

I feel you, man.
So where you
workin' at now?

My man
just plugged me
into this spot

where he work at
doin' maintenance.

For a while,
I was applyin'
everywhere,

but nobody would hire me
'cause I got this "F"
on my chest.

"F on your chest"?
What you mean?

I'm talking
about a felony, Shane.

It's damn near
impossible to find work

if you don't got
a direct plug
or an inside connect.

Why, you lookin'
for a gig?

Nah, I ain't lookin'
for a gig.

I'm out here gettin' it
how I live it--

day by day
on these streets.

Gettin' it
how you live it, huh?
Don't be speedin', Shane.

You don't wanna
end up where I been
for the last 10 years.

I ain't worried, man.
I move correct.

I ain't trippin'.
No worries.

You movin' correct?

Everybody
always thinks so.

Remember what I said--
nobody intends on gettin'
locked up.

Very few see it comin'.
But all right, Shane.

Damn, I really
been gone that long?

Yeah, man,
you've been gone
for a minute, man.

Told you, I grew up.

I hear you, Shane.

Be good.

Definitely,
my dude.

Can I have a word
with you guys?

A word? A word?
Words for what?

What's all
the hostility
about, buddy?

I don't wanna talk.
I have the right to
speak to who I want.

Right?

Let's see some ID.

ID?
IDs for what?

Would you rather
have this conversation
down at the station?

- Let me see your IDs.
- Yo, chill. Just give him
your ID, bro.

Yeah, listen
to your friend.

Seems to be
the one with the sense
between the two of you.

[ sighs ]

So neither of you
live in this building?

You know,
if I wanted
to be an asshole,

I could
arrest both of you
for loitering.

Arrest us
for what?

Didn't you hear
what I said the first time?

You got wax buildup
in your ears?

For loitering,
wise guy.

You're lucky that I have
better things to do today.

Do you know
this guy?

I don't know him.

You sure
you don't know him?
He doesn't look familiar?

No.

We don't know
who that is.

Can we get
our IDs back now
so we can leave, Officer?

It's Detective,
asshole.

Can we please
have our IDs back,
Detective Asshole?

Just give them
their IDs back.

Yeah, I think we'll
sit around for a while.

See if this guy Shane
comes home.

Get out of here.

Let's go, bro.

Nah, that wasn't him.

They probably
know him, though.

Are they looking?
I need to call Shane.

[ phone buzzing ]

Yo.

Yo, Shane,
where you at?

I'm on Parkside.
What's good?

Two detectives
just approached me and Ray
in front of your building.

They got your picture, bro.
They lookin' for you.

What you mean
they lookin' for me?
Lookin' for me for what?

Don't come
to the block,
my nigga.

That was
Homicide, bro.

Homicide?
The fuck they
lookin' for me for?

Yeah, my nigga.
I mean, I ain't really
look at the pic,

but I heard them say
that they were gonna
stay around

just in case
you came home.

So, you know,
stay low.

All right,
say no more, man.

Good looking on the heads up.
Let me speak to Joe real quick.

All right.

- Yo.
- Yo, Joe.

Could you
meet me at--

at Mickey D's
on Parkside?

All right, I'm about
to pull up just now.

All right.
Good looking.

All right.

Shit is crazy, dawg.

What up, though?
You fucking with us tonight?

- What's going on tonight?
- You remember my homie
from last night,

my man, Papes.

Oh, dude
ith the gold Rolex?

Yeah, yeah, that nigga.
Fuckin' it's his birthday
this weekend.

He tryin' to turn it up
every day of the week, bro.

He said tonight
he's doing it up crazy.

I don't know.
I gotta work
in the morning.

Tsk, I don't know, Joe.

I don't know if you wanna
miss this one, bro.

Do you know
how many broads
are gonna be in the spot?

Shit is gonna
be crazy, dawg.

I mean, did you--
you seen how we did it
last night.

Damn, I know.
Last time was crazy.

You know that.

On top, just let me know
if you wanna roll.

I'm swiping
15 bottles tonight.

I just copped
some new work.

As soon as I meet my man,
he's gonna press up
the pieces for me.

On top of that, I'm fuckin'
a bartender in the spot

and she's lettin' me
swipe all of my pieces,
dawg.

You're really
tempting me, Ray.

You could get your little,
regular night of sleep

and go to work
tomorrow

or you could
turn up tonight,

be a little tired
at work,

and you gonna have
a night to remember, bro.

But that's
a easy choice for me.

Let me know
if you down.

I got you, bro.

All right,
say no more.

Ah.
[ exhales ]

Yo, you good?

Yeah, I'm good, man.

It'd take more than that
to stop me.

Yo, I really
couldn't ask you

what I wanted
to at the hospital,

but what the fuck happened,
my nigga?

Yo, same thing you heard
at the hospital, man.

I was coming out
the elevator,

I bumped into homie.

We got into a scuffle
and he popped me.

You knew the nigga?
He looks familiar?

You seen him
around the way?
Who is that?

And how you let him
get that close to you
to get a drop on you?

- I know who he is.
- You know who he is?

What's up?
I'm tryin'
to go see him.

Chill, Miz.

- I got this.
- You got this?

My nigga,
you sittin' here
with a hole in you.

That shit ain't
sittin' well with me.
You ain't shoot back?

What the fuck, Rafe?
This shit ain't makin'
no sense.

Tsk, yo, I went
to the club with Kane.

I wanted to get
a couple of drinks.

My dude that usually
let me in with the joint
wasn't there,

so I slid Kane
my hammer so I
could get in.

The club?

That doesn't even
sound like you, Rafe.

Ain't no drink
worth your life.

That coulda been
your life.

This nigga Kane
is rubbin' off on you.

That sunny motherfucker's
got you out here slippin'.

You better than to be
runnin' around here
with no strap.

Yeah, I do,
but don't blame him, man.
That was all me.

I got caught slippin'.
It is what it is.

That coulda been
your life, my nigga.

That woulda been
a real hard lesson
to swallow.

Yeah, I know.

I don't know why
you don't wanna tell me
who homie is,

but I just hope you know
what you're doin'.

'Cause whoever
that nigga is,
he knows where you live.

I was contemplatin' a move
way before this happened.

I got this
under control.
That's my word, Miz.

You got this
under control?

Not goin'
to the club with Kane

runnin' around here
with no strap, you don't.

That's why I stay away
from dude.

Yo, take it easy
on him, man.

He goin' through
a lot right now.

What can that boy
possibly be goin' through?

Mister took
his lunch money again?

Not even, man.
The same night
I got hit,

I told you
I gave him
my hammer.

Mister tried
to press him
and he popped him.

So his scary ass
finally manned up?
About time.

- Maybe there's hope
for him after all.
- Man, whatever.

That boy don't need
none of that shit
in his life, man.

But, yo, just
take it easy on him.

It's the second incident
that he has to process

in the past couple
of weeks.

Say no more.
I'll let him live.

Maybe I was wrong.
Maybe you are finally
startin' to rub off on him.

But on another note,
though,

we got a few other things
we need to chop it up about.

What's up?

Yo, you remember
Madison, right?

I introduced you
to shorty a minute ago.

Light-skinned shorty,
yeah, I remember.

Yeah, well,
she hit me up
the other day

and told me
to meet her for lunch
and she needs to speak to me

and she couldn't
speak to me about it
over the phone.

Okay.

Well, basically,
when I got up with her,

she told me that she saw
you and me on the news.

- On the news?
- On the news, my nigga.

Robbery spree.

"Two suspects tied
to over 60 robberies

over a few years."

- You sure it was us?
- It was us, my nigga.

She said they even mentioned
a pharmacy in the Bronx

and a few other jobs
that I know you and I did.

Did she know
that it was us
before y'all spoke?

- What do you mean by that?
- Yo, I'm sayin'

she's the closest thing
to a girlfriend to you

and I know dudes
be pillow talking.

Yo, my nigga,
that gunshot

must've really did
somethin' to your brain.

You know I don't speak
on what we do.

You know that.

Did she know
it was us?

I don't know,
my nigga.

I acted like I didn't know
what the hell she was
talking about,

but you can't expect
a woman to hold water.

No man should ever
put a woman

in a position
where she have to.

They just not built
for that shit.

Damn, my nigga.

This is not good.

Nah, I know,
but the good thing is

they stopped
runnin' the story already.

Yo, even if they stop
runnin' the story,

that doesn't mean
the investigation ends.

It's ongoing.

It's on the news,

so that means that
they're short on leads,

but they
definitely fishin'.

Yeah, you know
they are.

[ sighs ]

You know
what that means, man.

We're gonna have to
fall back on these juxes.

Fall back? My nigga,
you just told me they
short on leads.

We ain't trying to ride
until the wheels fall off.

Ride until
the wheels fall off?

Yo, you just said
we hot, Miz.

By what you're tellin' me,
we're on fire.

If we get caught
for even one,

we're gonna get hit
with all of those
robberies--

an asshole
full of charges.

Multiply 60
by three or four.

That's how many charges
we talking.

Sal's a great attorney,
but this right here?

Yo, I don't know, man.

Miz, this be
the downfall

of every street nigga
since forever--

my nigga know
he hot.

He knows
the boys is on him,

but he refuse
to fall back.

Yo, they put us
on the news, Miz.

That means if
more robberies pop up
and they see it's us,

you know how hard
they're gonna come at us?

I'm not even tryin'
to entertain this.

This is a game that
I'm nottryin' to play

because we
will not win.

Man, fuck that.
I say we still do us.

I don't fear
these motherfuckers.

Yo, it ain't about
fearin' anybody, Miz.

It's about knowin'
when you can't win.

Yo, we can do us,
but legal establishments

have to be
off-limits.

Yo, we could
still get dudes

for birds
and pounds of bud,

but anybody
that pays taxes

we can't fuck with.

I hear you, Rafe,
and I can't front.

Since you put it like that,
you do make a lot of sense.

Trust me.

Falling back
is the best thing
for the both of us.

So how you gonna eat?

I know you're sittin'
on some paper,

but you and I both know
sittin' on your stash,

before you know it,
you'll be sittin'
on your ass.

I don't know.

But, yo, I'ma have to
figure something out.

Ain't shit
to figure out,
my nigga.

Everything happens
for a reason, right?

Now you can
come fuck with me
with this white.

Tsk, yo, you know
that ain't my thing, Miz.

I don't fuck
with that coke.

I stay in my lane.

Man, fuck that, Rafe.
You told me yourself--

you will rob
until you couldn't
rob no more.

You told me
we gotta fall back
and I'm cool with that.

But why not
fall back comfortably?

And I'm telling you
I need you.

This nigga, Capone,
he about to hit me off.

I don't know how much
he hittin' me off with,

but we could take it
straight to the top.

It's time to switch
lanes, my nigga.

This is something
to be grateful for.

"Everything happens
for a reason."

[ scoffs ]
Shit, the way
shit is lookin',

I don't even really
have a choice right now.

- Fuck it, I'm in.
- Exactly.

And trust me, my nigga,
you're not gonna regret this.

- What's up?
- Yo, nothing much.

Not much.
Yo, let's talk
downstairs.

[ door closes ]

You could
take a seat, man.

I didn't mention this
over the phone,

but I got robbed
not too long ago.

What?
Why you didn't
say nothing?

Man, I didn't
tell anyone.

I was givin' myself time
to let it process

and observin' the actions
of all those around me.

Make sure nobody
was acting a little off.

So you was observing me
as well, Ronaldo?

You can't believe
and think I set you up, bro.

The thief
commits one sin.

But the one
trying to figure out
who stole from him

commits many
each and every time

he mentally
points the finger
at the wrong person.

- Now, don't take
that shit personal, man.
- Per-- whatever, Ronaldo.

Now I know
where we stand at, nigga.

So what conclusion
have you come to?

- Who you suspect?
- Tai.

What, the young kid?

- Yeah, him.
- What got you
thinkin' it's him?

Man, a couple days
after the robbery,

I call this kid.

He's talkin'
about he ain't gonna
be around for a while.

Mind you,
that's the same kid

that literally beggedme
to fuck with him.

It was basically
a favor I did for him.

The little work
I was throwin' him
didn't mean much at all.

Now he talkin' about
he "falling back."

- That do sound
a little funny, though.
- A little funny?

I'm not stupid enough
to believe that it was
a coincidence, Chase.

No way, no how.

This little motherfucker
lined me up.

Yo, relax.
Just tell me
how it went down.

Man, these two dudes
walk up in here

acting like they're ready
to do laundry.

One of them
I've never seen before,

but the other one,
he's been here
a couple times,

usually on the late night--
do his laundry, leave.

We had
a small talk before.

No real
conversation, though.

[ sighs ]
So whoever it is

must have been watchin' you
for quite some time now.

That's what
it seems like.

Yo, so what did
they get?

[ sighs ]

Four birds
and 150 grand.

- What?
- I just wrapped
that money up to put it away.

You would've thought
I knew they was coming

and wrapped it up
for them.

Yo, you don't
usually keep

that much work and bread
in here, do you?

Hell, no!
That shit was here

briefly in transition
to go somewhere else.

Yo, did Tai know
you had that in here?

How the hell
would he know that, Chase?

You know
my conversations
with people

are on
a need-to-know basis

and most shit
they don't
need to know.

So you sayin'
it's pure luck
on their part

that they came
the same day that all
that shit was in here?

Yo, I don't know.

My mind is pullin' me
in a million different
directions.

I'm just tryin'
to make sense of it all.

So, listen,
let's double back.

You saying
you think it's Tai
'cause you spoke to him

and he told you he was gonna
fall back for a while.

Yo, has Tai
been settin' you up
all this time?

And I'm pretty sure
he would've stopped
fuckin' with you

way before
that happened.

I don't think so.
And if I remember
correctly,

dude came
and did his laundry

one of the days
that Tai came to check me.

Yo, why you tryin'
to change my mind?

Yo, listen, I never said
I'm tryin' to change
your mind,

'cause I could give a fuck
about the kid neither way.

But you and I both know
how the story ends
if it's true,

so I'm telling you,
Ronaldo, be sure.

You know what?
I'ma give this kid a call.
Tell him to come see me.

I'ma look him
dead in the eye
and feel the vibes.

He could hide the truth
within his words,

but the eyes
tell all secrets.

Man, you do
what you gotta do.

Just let me know
when your mind
is fully made up

so we could do
what we gotta do.

All right.

- Hey, let's get this done.
- All right, let's go.

Where the fuck
is Joe at, man?

This nigga's
taking too damn long.

Yo, what the fuck
took you so long?

Nah, I stayed
a little while longer

to see if "the Ds"
were leaving.

- And?
- They didn't.

They just parked
in front of your building.

They're just
sittin' there.

Now, what the fuck
are they be lookin'
for me for?

What they want from me?
And I know that's not
the warrant squad

'cause the warrants
come banging at your door
6:00 in the morning.

I don't know.
Ray said it was
Homicide.

Homicide?
What the fuck would
Homicide want with me?

I don't know,
Shane.

[ sighs ]
Yo, Joe,

yo, could I come
to your crib, man?

I gotta get off
these streets to think.

Yeah, no problem.
I'm headed there now.

All right.
Hey, yo, what are you doin'
with this dude Ray, man?

You know that nigga's
in a lot of shit?

That's not a good person
to be around, my nigga.

Nah, he cool.

I bumped into him last night
on my way home from work

and he
invited me out.

I wasn't doing nothin'
and I was off today,

so I said fuck it,
why not?

Yo, you
should've seen

how much bottles
there was last night.

It was so much,
I couldn't even count!

We had all the broads
on us in the club.

Yo, you know
they didn't pay
for none of that, right?

You know everything
was swiped.

How he get his money
is not my business.

I'm just
enjoying the fun.

You should've seen
how all the females
was actin'

when we pulled up
four cars deep.

Benz, Beemers.

Shit, Ray homie had
a Porsche Panamera.

Yo, don't get caught up
in the hype, man.

A lot of them dudes
are scumbags

and they can't
be trusted.

I mean, they're
really cool, bro.

Ray caught me
a bottle

and his homeboy
I just met last night
caught me one.

All right, Joe.
Yo, you just
be safe, man.

All right,
I got you, bro.

Yo, but let's
get out of here.

Let me get off
these streets.
Gotta go think.

[ music playing ]

Woman:
What's wrong, China?

Is everything
all right?

A lot, Samone.
There's been
so much going on,

it's getting so heavy
on my mind.

If you wanna talk,
you know I'm always here.

I appreciate it,

but you know
there's certain things
I can't speak on.

Is it Cash?
Did he do somethin'?

No, it's not him.

He's done nothing wrong.

He's done
nothing wrong at all.

He's really good to me.

You say that like
if it's a bad thing.

Good men
are hard to find.

You're lucky
to have found him.

Yeah, I am.
He's a real good dude.

I've never
encountered that before.

Isn't that
a good thing, though?

You're speaking as if
there's something wrong
with him being a good guy.

I'm usually
so emotionally detached
from these situations.

You know, from men.

After being so in love
with my daughter's father

and him
just abandoning us,

picking up
like me and the baby
meant nothing to him,

men became
like a game to me.

I took none of them
seriously.

I know that their goal
was to get in my pants

and mine was to get
whatever I could get
out of them

before they realized
that was never gonna happen.

But being so aware
of this

makes it so easy for me
not to get my emotions
involved.

But, Samone, what happens
when I meet a guy

whose goal
is to get to know me

and appears to have
no motive whatsoever

and I start
to believe him?

What happens
is you thank God
for bringing him your way.

I know what happened
between you and your
daughter's father.

And I get it,

but not everyone's
the same, China.

- Rafe wouldn't feel
that way.
- Rafe?

I thought you told me

the two of you are like
brother and sister.

I knew there was
something more to it
than that.

[ scoffs ]
No, girl.

But after Rafe
getting shot,

it has me thinking
a lot about life,

about my daughter,
and just the things
that I'm into.

What are you
into, girl?

As of
what you told me,

your friend
was a victim

of an asshole
with a short temper
and a gun.

What does that
have to do with you?

It has nothing
to do with me.

It's just
a reminder that...

no matter
how careful you are,

no matter
how much you may plan,

things can always
go wrong.

Welcome to
this thing called life.

And most importantly,
have you and Cash

slept together yet,
girl?

You know man cannot live
on food and water alone.

Every man needs
some love in his life

so that
he can be happy.

That's the crazy thing,
Samone.

He doesn't even try.

He doesn't even
pressure me.

And because of that,
I find myself wanting
to give myself to him.

So wait-- you have
a handsome man

who's financially
straight,

treats you well,
seems to have
great intentions,

and, exactly as you put it,
is a good person,

and you're wondering
whether you should
give him some?

Am I missing
something here, China?

You just don't
understand.

[ chuckles ]
I do understand.

I understand you're
sounding crazy right now.

You must be
losing your mind.

[ sighs ]

Cash is my chance

to leave
a lot of things
in my life alone.

He's the type of man

that will take care of me
for the rest of my life.

All those other dudes
in the past,

they had bread,
but they only wanted
a piece of ass.

Cash wants
to bewith me.

Once again,
am I missing
something here?

Sounds like
you afraid.

Are you afraid
to feel something, China?

I like to be
in control

and right now,
I feel like I'm
at the tipping point

where me losing control
is a possibility.

What's wrong
with that?

Love is an exchange
of power.

That's what it
requires.

You give
the other person
power over you.

It requires
you losing control.

Let me find out
Miss China's
fallen in love.

It's not that deep,
Samone.

I'm just thinking
out loud.

Fight it if you want,
but it sounds to me

like Cash is thawin'
that icebox in your chest.

[ sighs ]
He doesn't deserve--

I'm not right
for him, Samone.

What do you mean
you're not right
for him, China?

You're one
of the sweetest
people I know.

You come off
cold at first,

but once you
warm up to someone,
you're a sweetheart.

I think you just
overthinkin' this.

Maybe you're right.

I probably just need
to let things play out

the way they were
supposed to.

Exactly.

You knew why
you began talking to him

and you know where
your intentions were

when you began
getting to know him.

So let things play out
as they're meant to.

You're right.

I'm bugging.
Everything will be fine.

[ music playing
on radio ]

Man, this girl needs
to hurry up.

Chill, homie.
Anything worth it
takes time.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just tryin'
to get to the money.

But aren't we all?

Speeding around
will get you nowhere.

When you're
in the lead like you,
they don't.

Me? I got
catchin' up to do.

I'm trippin' runners,
I'm breakin' legs,

I'm doing
whatever it takes
to get ahead.

To each his own.
Whatever works for you.

Yo, what you doin'
tonight?

My man throwin'
somethin at this rooftop
in the city.

It's supposed to be
crazy.

You know I don't be tryin'
to be in the mix like that.

But I'm supposed to get up
with China later.

You remember the shorty
I introduced you to?

Damn, Cash.

I haven't seen you
like this before.

You usually
don't let broads
get this close to you.

That ass
must be crazy.

Yo, what's even crazier
is I haven't get to
that point yet.

What you mean?

What I mean is
I didn't even
get in her pants.

What type of second-grade
peanut-butter-and-jelly
shit is this?

So y'all play tag
at recess, too?

Funny, Leon.

But on a serious note,
she's different.

Different how, Cash?
Last I saw her,

she had two legs,
two arms, and one head

like any other female.

That's not
what I mean, man.

She's not even
like that.

At first,
I thought she was.

I thought she was
just another chick
fascinated by the paper.

But she's not even
like that.

She's not concerned
with none of that
at all.

Yo, why would she
be concerned?

You're a dude
who got it.
You're her rich.

They say money
can't buy love,

but I say it can cover
the down payment.

Buy a chick
a few designer purses,

a couple
designer shoes,

and that's
love in the making.

It sounds like
this girl's got you going.

I trust these broads
as much as people
should trust me.

She zoed
your heart, Cash.

Trust me, I know.

And that's how
I viewed things at first.

So she's a virgin
or something?

'Cause I wouldn't
wait until Christmas
to open up a gift

that's been
opened already.

You don't
understand, Leon.

It's a grown man
thing.

And you?
You got maturing to do.

Igot
maturing to do?

Cash, you've been messing
with this girl for months.

Does she feel
how you feel about this?

'Cause if so, she would've
gave it up already.

I don't think about it.

But you act as if
I see this girl every day.

I don't have that type
of time on my hands.

I'm always out here
chasing this paper.

Yeah, man, whatever.

Best of luck to you.

Whatever works for you.

Just know
that couldn't be me.

Well, it ain't you,
so you don't have to
worry about it.

[ scoffs ]
Yeah, whatever, man.

[ knocking ]

[ lock clicks ]

[ door opens ]

She has been
driving me crazy
about wanting to see you,

but I told her
that you didn't want me
bringing her to the hospital.

- Are you all right?
- I told you over the phone,
I'm fine, Janie.

Are you sure, Rafey?

Because I know you
like the back of
my hand, okay?

and that is always
your response--
"I am fine"--

while you were carrying
the weight of the world
on your back.

I'm fine, seriously.

Do you need me
to do anything for you?

Do you need me to go
and get you anything
before I leave?

I was shot.
I'm not handicapped.

Don't be funny, Rafe.

Not because you and I
are no longer together

doesn't mean
I don't still worry
about you,

doesn't mean
I don't still care.

I'm fine, woman.
No worries.

Well, you're gonna have to
still explain to me

what is going on

when Little Miss Nosey here
isn't around.

It was random.

I got into it with this guy.
We got into a scuffle

and he shot me.
Nothing crazy.

Are you sure?
Because I know you

and you would
tell me anything
for me not to worry.

I'm fine,Janie.

No worries.

Rafey, please,
please be safe out there.

- Stormy still needs
her daddy.
- Yes, I do.

Look, I'm fine.

There's nothing
for either of you
to worry about.

I'm good out here.

All right,
I'll take your word for it.

But you and me,
we're gonna still
need to talk.

Stormy, baby,
I'll be back
in a few hours

to come and
pick you up, okay?

In the meantime,
please take care
of your daddy.

- Okay, Mommy.
- Okay, baby.

- See you later.
- Okay.

- Bye, Rafe.
- Bye, Janie.

[ door opens ]

[ door closes ]

[ lock clicks ]

It's a beautiful day,
Capone.

God is just
as good on US soil
as He is in Mexico.

Simón. Sounds like
a shipment has come in.

Free and clear
with all of our
precious cargo.

You got everything
in order?

Just as I always do.

I got new blood coming
with this shipment.

Obviously,
you trust this
new blood.

What level
you startin' him at?

- How big is he?
- Without trust,
there's no business.

Business built
on fear alone

has a very weak
foundation, Victor.

The squares always say
it's business,
not personal,

but there is
nothing more personal
than our business.

My new brother's
street level,
nothing major.

He could be groomed
to do so much more.

He's got heart.

He's a gringo,
a mayate,
or is he one of us?

He's a mayate--
with a heart like us.

Finding
a trustworthy mayate
is no easy task, Capone.

I understand
your concern, Victor.

But I think
he's worth the risk.

Obviously.

He must've
proven himself.

In more ways
than one.

I have offered him
this opportunity

a number of times
and he turns me down.

That's impressive.

Most mayates
stick their hand out
to receive

before even knowing
how they will repay
they debt.

So what caused him
to change his mind?

I'm not sure
about his situation
that has changed.

But now I think
that he's ready.

Does he know
the consequences
of bad business?

Victor, the whole world
knows the consequences.

Our reputation
precedes us.

Yes, it does.
But as yousaid,

good business
is notbuilt
on fear alone.

- I don't see
fear in his eyes.
- That can be a problem.

There's no love
in this business,
Capone,

and I am yet to see
an obedient dog

that does not
fear its master.

Loyalty is key
and he has proved
himself.

Capone, you keep
your pets loyal

and I'll continue
to beat mine

and instill fear
in them.

I was not too fond
of the last time
I was bitten.

Teeth marks have never
touched my flesh, Victor.

[ chuckles ]

Must I remind you
of Mr. Marcus James

or, as he told you
to call him, Block?

And where's
that dog now, Victor?

- Buried.
- As he should be.

But dead dogs
don't pay debts

and they are not
an acceptable form
of payment

for cocaine, Capone.

As you wish, though.

I can't tell you
what to do, Capone,

but keep your new dog
on a short leash.

I wouldn't recommend you
to give him too much lead.

He might
jump out the window
and hang himself.

New blood
means new money, esé.

Potentially.
Let's just hope

we don't have to
bury any more pets.

[ phone buzzing ]

Ronaldo, what's up?

What's going on, Tai?
How have you been?

I'm all right.
I've just been out the loop.

Okay. Is everything
all right with you?

Well, things have been
a little crazy,

but I'm still out here
doing what I gotta do.

Oh, okay.
But check it,

- I need you to come see me.
- Come see you?

- Why, what's up?
- Nothing much.

You know my conversations
are for face time, not
over the phone.

Oh, I hear you.
I'll stop by one day
this week.

When?

Uh, tomorrow?

What time?

You sure
you're all right?

You usually just tell me
to stop by.

Yo, I'm gonna be
in and out tomorrow,

so I just wanna make sure
that I'm around when
you get here.

Oh, I get it.
I'll stop by around 8:00.

All right.
8:00 in the morning
sounds good.

- See you then.
- All right, cool.

Why didn't you want me
to come to the hospital,
Daddy?

Didn't you wanna see me?

Of course I wanted
to see you, baby.

But I knew that I wasn't
gonna be there long

and I really
didn't want you

to see me laying
in that hospital bed.

Truthfully, I contemplated
not even telling you
what happened.

Not tell me?
Why?

Because I didn't
want you to worry.

As you can see,
I'm fine.

When Mommy
told me what happened,
I started crying.

I know you did.
That's why I called

after you came home
from school.

I wanted you
to hear my voice

so you could know
that I'm okay.

But why would someone
shoot you?

That's, like,
the meanest thing
you could ever do to someone.

I know, baby.

This world is filled
with all different
types of people.

Some of them
are mean.

Are you mean?

Do you think
that I am?

You can't ask me
that question.

You're always
gonna be nice to me.
I'm your daughter.

Well, unless I get
in trouble.

I have different sides
to me, baby,

all depending on who--
agh-- I'm dealing with.

Was Goddaddy Dub mean?

What makes you
ask that?

Storm,
you can ask me
anything.

Was Goddaddy Dub mean?

I'm surprised you're even
asking about him.

You were so young
when he died.

What is it that you
really wanna know?

How could I forget him?

I used to kiss your tattoo
and say good night to him

after I said good night to you
when we used to live together.

I remember.
That was my way

of making sure
that you never
forgot him.

I didn't,
but was he mean?
I don't remember.

Storm, what is it
that you really
wanna know?

Be honest.

It's about the way
that he died.

- You heard how he died?
- I overheard Mommy
on the phone

when she was
talking about him
to someone.

- So you know
how he died?
- Yes.

He was killed
while robbing a bank.

[ exhales ]

I didn't really want you
to know about that

until you got
much older.

But, yes,
that's how he died.

Well, can I ask you
a question, Dad?

Of course.
You can ask me anything.

Being that you two
were very close

and people
who are very close
often have

a lot of things
in common,

do you do stuff
like that?

- Do stuff like what?
- Stuff like that.

Rob banks.

Storm, you know
that I would never
lie to you.

And I always tell you
the truth.

Yes, Daddy,
I know you always do.

- Do you trust me?
- Of course I do.
You're my dad.

Okay, so I'm
not gonna say no,

but I'm also not gonna
say yes to that question.

I'm gonna ask
that you trust
and believe me

when I tell you that
this is a conversation

that's better had
when you get older.

- Okay?
- All right, Dad.
I'll be waiting.

[ chuckles ]
I swear sometimes you're
too smart for your own good.

I just don't want anything bad
to happen to you, Daddy.

Nothing bad's
gonna happen
to me, baby.

I'm not going
anywhere.

- Mister: Yo,
respect your jaw!
- [ gunshot cracks ]

This motherfucker
done shot me!

It's Kane.

- Hey, Kane.
- What's up, Cindy?

My bad I didn't
get to call you
before I came here, yo.

Just a lot of things
on my mind.

It's okay.
It's actually a pleasant
surprise seeing you.

I'm just glad
we were home.

All right, cool.
Is the baby here?

Of course she's here.
Where else would she be,
silly?

Come on.

[ sighs ]

So, uh,
how you been?

I'm alive.
Can't complain.

Well, I heard you say
that you were having
a hard time

and you had a lot
of stuff on your mind.

And I hope that you know
that if you wanna talk
about anything,

I'm here.

Okay...

Tsk, don't be like that.
Look, regardless
of everything,

you are the father
of my child

and I hope
that you really know
that if you need me,

I'm here.

Okay, Cindy,
I appreciate that.

So what is it?
A female got you
stressin'?

- What?
- I'm asking you.

What, are you
datin' somebody?
They actin' up?

- Got you stressed out?
- Nah, Cindy.

Seriously,
I ain't even here
to talk about all that.

- Why you acting like that?
- Acting like what?

Like you're too good
to talk to me
or something.

This is why
we can never get along.

I try to be your friend,
I try to talk to you,

- and you ain't never
trying to hear me.
- Are you fucking serious?

Yes, I'm serious!
Look at you.

You're already
acting hostile.

The hell
is your problem, Kane?

Yo, I don't even want
no issues with you, man.

And I just came here
to see my daughter.

- Can I please
see my daughter?
- She's asleep.

- But if you'd like,
I will wake her up.
- Nah, it's cool, man.

I was just dropping off
these sneakers to her.

- Make sure
she get it, all right?
- All right.

I'ma holler
at you.

Kane, wait.

What, Cindy?

I mean,
how may I help you?

You know what?
Never mind.

- Forget it, Kane.
- [ sighs ]

Whatever.

Shit.

[ baby crying ]

[ phone buzzing ]

Shane,
what up, bro?

Yo, Kane.
Hey, you good?

Yeah, I'm good, man.
Just a little confused.

Confused about what?

Tell me why I just seen
this nigga Mister

and he look like
nothing happened to him.

Son, he's not walking
with a limp or anything.

- How is that
even possible?
- Did he see you?

Hell, no,
he ain't see me.

I got under
a car quick, man.
I would not let him see me.

You think I could
have this conversation
if he saw me?

You think
he's gonna kill me?

Yeah, he really is
for trying to shoot him.

But, yo, you still
on the block?

Yeah, I'm still here, man.
What's up, man?

All right, I need you
to do me a serious favor.

Yeah, I got you.
Just ask for it.
You know I got you.

[ sighs ]
I need you to walk up
and down that block

and let me know
if you see any Ds, Kane.

"Ds"?
You mean the cops?

No, Ds
as in "deez nuts."
Yes, Ds, cops.

Is everything
okay, Shane?

Yeah, everything
is cool, man,

but please
check that out for me.

I need you to look
thoroughly, Kane.

I need you to look
inside of every window

and let me know
if you see anything
suspicious

hanging around there.

And when you're done,
hit me back.

All right, yeah,
I'll look on the block.

- I got you.
- Good looking, man.

All right.

[ sighs ]

[ sighs ]

What's up, Joe?

We gonna catch
this motherfucker tonight.

I can't wait to see his face
when I hop out on his ass.

How you wanna do this?
Do you want us to handle it

or do you want us to fall back
and hold you down if need be?

Just hold me down.

I owe him
what he has coming.

I'ma run up
on his ass.

- Where his building at?
- It's right there.

That's where
he was standing

the last time
me and Leon
ran up on him.

Yo, what the fuck
am I doing here, Gunner?

All your niggas got guns
except me.

What if that dude Shane
starts shooting at me?

What am I gonna do?
I should not be here.

Do the same thing
you did before-- run.

- At least you got us here
to shoot back.
- Shoot back?

Tai told me
that you couldn't hit water
if you fell out of a boat.

You know how safe
that makes me feel?

- Not even a little bit!
- Oh, yeah?

Let Shane
show his face tonight

and I'ma show you
what I can hit.

[ phone buzzing ]

Oh, shit.

- Yo.
- Yo, Shane.

- Yeah, the coast
is clear, bro.
- Are you sure?

Yeah, I walked up
and down the block
and looked in every car.

Everycar?

Yes, every
single car, Shane.

So nobody
is hangin' around
looking suspicious?

Nah, ain't nobody
out here, man.

All right, man.
Thank you, man.

Thanks for the solid.
I really appreciate it.

- You okay, though?
- Nah, everything is cool.

- Nothing to worry about.
- All right.

All right. Later.

[ sighs ]

So the coast is clear?

That's what he said,
but I don't trust it.

You're probably
just paranoid, bro.

I ain't paranoid, Joe.
I'm just playing it safe.

I just don't
understand.

It can't be
the warrant squad.

Warrant squad don't come
in the afternoon.

- They come
banging on your door--
- At 6:00 in the morning.

Bro, this is, like,
the hundredth time you're
telling me this, Shane.

If it's not the warrant squad,
then what you got
to worry about?

I don't even know, Joe.

But, yo,
can I stay tonight,
here tonight?

Because I'd rather
be somewhere

where I know they're
not banging on the door
early in the morning.

I just need time
to figure this out.

Yeah, one night
won't hurt, bro.

You could stay
till tomorrow.

Good looking, man.
I appreciate it.

Yeah, got you.

Ronaldo,
what's up?

Nothing much.
Yo, let's talk
downstairs.

[ silent ]

- Everything all right?
- Everything's good.
