00:00Davis motherfucking McClane.
00:01Zion. Long time.
00:03We got product now, we just gotta figure out how we gonna move it.
00:05We could throw parties all over the tri-state area.
00:07You have to keep this shit on the low.
00:09You can definitely not tell anyone else in the band.
00:11Right now I'm worried about making sure Noma doesn't find out what the fuck we have going on.
00:14I need to solidify one of my legitimate businesses.
00:17You don't wanna talk to Wiley Adams.
00:19His tentacles reach everywhere.
00:21I just wanna finish what I started.
00:23This is my task force, Detective Tate.
00:25And I'm gonna need you to fall in line.
00:27You're gonna talk to Tariq St. Patrick.
00:29You need to take that.
00:31And I'm gonna chat with Monet Tejada.
00:33Is there any place you can think of that Kane and Monet won't?
00:36I know a safe place you can go.
00:37You can't tell anybody where I went.
00:39I got you.
00:40Thank you, silly.
00:44Why?
00:44Man, fuck!
00:45Robbing a family's task force?
00:47What's making you so damn blind to your own children?
00:52Hey, wait.
00:53Don't do it.
00:54I'm not trying to kill her, I'm trying to save her.
00:56Tariq.
00:58You can't do this to me.
00:59Why the fuck can't I?
01:00Because she's pregnant.
01:01What the fuck that got to do with me?
01:03Because it's yours.
01:06Tariq St. Patrick, drinking and smoking.
01:08There's a lot going on, my boy.
01:09Yeah, I guess so.
01:13I'm Anya.
01:14Nice to meet you, Anya.
01:29This is where it goes down.
01:33I just happen to come apart.
01:37Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it.
01:39I never took a straight path nowhere.
01:41Life's full of twists and turns, bumps and bruises.
01:44I live, I learn.
01:45I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers.
01:48It's hard to get a start.
01:49Each part's without paper.
01:50Homie, I grew up in hell.
01:52A block away from heaven.
01:53That corner ain't 15 minutes, it move at seven.
01:56True snow.
01:57Hey, then why should go?
01:58Occupational options.
01:59Get some blow on some hoes.
02:01Shoot the ball or the strap.
02:02Learn the rap or the jack.
02:03Fuck it, man.
02:04In the meantime, go ahead and pump a pack.
02:06It's my regal royal flow.
02:07My James Bond bounce.
02:09That 007, that 62 on my count.
02:11I'm an undercover liar.
02:13I lie under the covers.
02:14Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her, baby, I love it.
02:16You're my inspiration.
02:18You're my motivation.
02:19You're the reason that I'm moving with no hesitation.
02:21They say this is a big, rich town.
02:24Yeah.
02:26I just come from the poorest part.
02:30Bright lights, city life.
02:31I gotta make it.
02:32This is where it goes down.
02:34Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:36I just hope I'm gonna come home.
02:40Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it.
02:56I'm on ya.
03:05What you drinking?
03:09We are doing shots.
03:12Somebody come for me.
03:15I know that this was love, mama.
03:17I hate it.
03:19I can watch another take.
03:21Now, this is my last chance.
03:23This is my chance.
03:25You should have closed the door before I knew who you were.
03:28Yeah, that's what we want to get out of here with.
03:30Yeah, sure.
03:31Couldn't have let my daughter stay if you'd been raised up.
03:35And now, I don't see me trying to make up.
03:38And now, I don't see me trying to make up.
03:42Believe me, it ain't easy trying to break love.
03:46Fucking right because I hate love.
03:48Wish it would go away, away, away, away, away.
03:56Yeah, you showed me all that fake love.
03:59Fucking right, and now I hate love.
04:01Wish it would go away, away, away, away.
04:09Is you leaving already?
04:11Mm-hmm.
04:12Can I at least get your number or something?
04:15Look, you're cute and all, but let's not make this thing
04:18anything more than what it was.
04:20I had fun, though.
04:22Sheesh.
04:24I mean, yeah, me too.
04:27Throw in another party if you want to bring your girls
04:28or anything.
04:29I'll send you to Addie.
04:32Maybe we could do this again.
04:34Maybe.
04:36All right, later.
04:49It's a little early for that, isn't it?
04:52Save your judgment.
04:53These are my meds.
04:55I have sickle cell.
04:56I had no idea.
04:58These just help reduce the risk of going into crisis.
05:02What's crisis?
05:04You never heard of that?
05:06I've never met anyone with sickle cell.
05:08Right.
05:09You grew up around zero black people.
05:12Crisis is when my body loses oxygen,
05:15so it feels like everything's about to shut down.
05:18My whole body feels like it's about to explode.
05:21I feel like I'm going to die.
05:24My whole body feels like it's on fire,
05:26and it's like imagine teeny tiny pieces
05:30of sharp glass running through your veins.
05:33It fucking hurts.
05:36Is that why you...
05:37I'm not an addict, Brayden.
05:40Sometimes I just need a little extra pick-me-up
05:42to manage the other symptoms.
05:44Depression, anxiety.
05:47I'm sorry.
05:49It's okay.
05:51I don't need your pity.
05:53And I sure as hell don't want to hear
05:55another person's opinion
05:57on what I should do with my body ever again.
06:02Don't tell anyone, okay?
06:05People start treating me like I'm made of glass
06:07when they know.
06:09I'm not going to tell anyone.
06:12Just so you know,
06:13you don't have to hide anything from me ever, okay?
06:17Okay.
06:19Hey, Salim.
06:21You haven't called me back.
06:23I was just calling to thank you
06:25for everything.
06:27Call me.
06:29Please.
06:37I can't believe you made all this.
06:40Well, a good meal is the one thing
06:42that always seemed to bring this family back together.
06:45That smells good.
06:49What the fuck are they doing here?
06:51Listen, I called all y'all here for a family meeting.
06:53We need to talk.
06:55I ain't got shit to say to them.
06:57Well, then you can be quiet,
06:59and I'll do all the talking.
07:01Everybody sit.
07:03Kane, come on.
07:05I let these motherfuckers live
07:07out of respect for you.
07:09So anything I do moving forward
07:11is going to be on my terms.
07:13On your own terms?
07:15Yeah, on my own terms.
07:17Nigga, how's your face?
07:19I'm not going to be sitting here
07:21eating French toast with motherfuckers
07:23who try to kill you, man.
07:25Look, a lot of shit has happened,
07:27but we can fix it.
07:29I know we can.
07:31We just need a reset, man.
07:33We family, y'all.
07:35And if I can forgive them,
07:37Kane, you can, too.
07:39I could, but I won't.
07:41I say it, nobody else will,
07:43but if you have this baby,
07:45it's going to be the worst decision
07:47you ever make in your life.
07:49I hope you hear me.
07:51I'm out here playing house
07:53with the one motherfucker
07:55who fucked up this family!
07:57Well, he is right about one thing.
07:59It's the outsiders who broke us.
08:01You got Tariq interfering
08:03in family business.
08:05You got this Noma bitch saying
08:07who's in and who's out.
08:09Drew, you real quiet over there.
08:11I hear you, Ma.
08:13I think I'm just going to do my own thing
08:15away from the family.
08:17Look, you can't just run away.
08:19We going to always be family.
08:21Maybe that's all we should be.
08:23So you got a problem with the business?
08:25Working together has always kept
08:27the roof over your head and clothes on your back.
08:29No, I'm not blaming the business, Ma.
08:31I'm blaming you. Drew, just stop.
08:33No, no, no. Yes, you.
08:35And if you're able to admit that,
08:37then so am I.
08:45Ma, maybe they're right.
08:47Telling us to go back to old times
08:49after trying to kill each other?
08:51That ain't going to work.
08:53Then what the hell will?
08:55I don't know.
08:57We might be too far gone for that.
08:59And Ma, what kind of mother would I be
09:01bringing a baby into this mess?
09:03Look, Diana, after last night
09:05I told myself I was going to let you make your own decisions.
09:07So I'm not going to tell you what to do.
09:09But this baby can be a fresh start.
09:11A chance for us to do family the right way.
09:15Listen, sweetie, I promise
09:17I'm going to do everything in my fucking power
09:19to get this family on the right track.
09:21For your baby.
09:23For my grandbaby.
09:25You hear me?
09:29I do.
09:31But Ma, I just don't know if you have that kind of power right now.
09:35Yes, sir.
09:47Yes, sir.
09:49Coming through.
09:51Oh, that's cold, bro.
09:53Bro!
09:55What are you doing?
09:57We should be celebrating that we got the business up and running.
09:59Not throwing controllers.
10:01My brand new expensive ass controller, by the way.
10:03I'm sorry about your brand new expensive controller, B.
10:05I just...
10:07It's a lot on my mind right now, bro.
10:09That's it.
10:11You want to talk about it?
10:13I mean, I did see you leave that party with that fire-ass girl last night.
10:15That was Anya.
10:17Anya, Noma's daughter, Anya?
10:19Yeah.
10:21Bro, I thought she looked familiar.
10:23What the fuck are you thinking?
10:25Listen, that's the least of our fucking problems, all right, B?
10:27Diana is pregnant, bro.
10:29Diana is pregnant.
10:31Diana's mine.
10:33What?
10:35Yeah.
10:37When were you fucking Diana?
10:39Last semester.
10:41All right, it was after F.A. It was one time, bro.
10:43I don't even fucking understand how this is possible.
10:45I don't know, bro.
10:47Like, all of this shit has happened to me at once,
10:49and I have no control over anything.
10:51I don't have control over one thing in my life right now.
10:53But I don't know what my next move is, man.
10:55Okay, well, your next move should probably be talking to Diana.
10:57And leave Anya the fuck alone.
10:59We killed it last night.
11:01We don't need Noma coming around here sniffing shit out.
11:03Who knows what the fuck will happen.
11:05All right, so speak to Diana.
11:07Focus on building the business.
11:09Yes.
11:11I got a second-choosing place with the Tejadas anyway,
11:13so I guess revenge can wait, right?
11:15Yeah, Anya can, too.
11:17Yeah, boy.
11:25Mom, what are you doing here?
11:27I was informed that you evaded security again last night.
11:29I don't think you understand
11:31how much danger you're putting yourself in.
11:33Okay, can we, like, cut the dramatics for once?
11:35Whoever wanted to hurt Dad is probably still in Italy.
11:37I'm fine.
11:39Listen to me, Anya.
11:43Shit.
11:45Where the hell did you get this?
11:47Mom, you sent me to prep school my entire life.
11:49You really think I've never done coke?
11:51Me for real.
11:53The hundreds of thousands I spend on your school
11:56is for your education, not so you can get high.
11:58This shit ruins people's lives.
12:00Oh, my God, relax.
12:02It's not like I'm on the verge of rehab.
12:04It's just for fun.
12:06Got it at some underground show last night at Stansfield.
12:08I didn't even use it.
12:14Staring won't make you go away.
12:16I mean, I can't...
12:18I can't help you, dear. I'm still in shock.
12:20You're not the only one.
12:22You tried...
12:24You tried to shoot me last night.
12:26You nearly got my mother killed.
12:28Look, that wasn't what I was trying to do.
12:30You gave her WITSEC location
12:32to a motherfucker that was hunting down.
12:34What the fuck did you think was gonna happen?
12:36I was blinded by everything with Monet, all right?
12:38I'm sorry, and I was selfish.
12:40Yeah, that sorry shit is not gonna cut it, all right?
12:42That's just not enough.
12:44Okay, well, you don't have to forgive me,
12:46and I don't have to forgive you either,
12:48but that don't change...
12:54That don't change the fact that I am pregnant.
12:56Let me ask you something, dear.
12:58What's making you so certain that that's my baby?
13:00You serious?
13:02I mean, you've been fucking Salim all last semester,
13:04so I'd be crazy to not ask that question.
13:06I always use condoms with Salim. Me and you didn't.
13:08Yeah, because condoms always work
13:10every fucking time, right?
13:12Okay, I don't know what you're trying to say,
13:14but I'm not trying to pin no baby on you, Tariq.
13:16You ain't my first choice. Trust me.
13:20So what you gonna do then, hmm?
13:22I don't know yet,
13:24but I already lost my father and Zeke to the game.
13:26So if I do keep this baby,
13:28the people in his or her life need to be clean.
13:30I can't have my baby anywhere
13:32near the life we had growing up.
13:36I'll let you know when I decide.
13:46It's pretty impressive that Monet Tahat
13:48has been able to fly underneath the radar for this long.
13:50No charges and zero arrests.
13:52I think she's calling the shots.
13:54Don't sleep on Tariq.
13:56I'm not sleeping on anyone.
13:58All these motherfuckers guilty of something.
14:00You get anything from your meeting with him?
14:02Yeah, when I told him there was a witness
14:04who could place him at Monet's shooting,
14:06he seemed less afraid that I knew
14:08and more worried about what she knew.
14:10He's afraid of her. She's the boss.
14:12When I told Monet, she acted like she already knew.
14:14She was clearly covering.
14:16She reached out to Tariq when we were together,
14:18and he was shook.
14:20So this is working, turning them against each other.
14:22We still need one of them to give up their supplier.
14:24Which one is more likely to?
14:26At the right pressure point,
14:28both.
14:30Not sure Tariq's ready yet,
14:32but I could take another crack at him.
14:34I'll handle it.
14:36No disrespect to you, but my shared history
14:38with the St. Patrick's gives me an edge.
14:40Or maybe that's the exact reason
14:42you can't get them to fold.
14:44Or maybe you're not really looking for them to fold at all.
14:46What the fuck are you implying?
14:48Did your fucking brother get you this job?
14:50So that's what your fucking problem with me is.
14:52Okay, calm down, everybody, please.
14:54Detective Tate, keep your eyes on Tariq.
14:56I'll keep mine on Monet.
14:58One of them will lead us to the plug
15:00and we'll snap the cuffs on all of them.
15:02We're done here.
15:06Why would you sell my daughter drugs?
15:08Your daughter?
15:10I wouldn't. I didn't.
15:12Anya told me that she went to some sort of concert
15:14at Stansfield last night.
15:16She came home with this.
15:20That's your territory, isn't it?
15:24Yeah, but this isn't mine.
15:26I didn't have people selling it at Stansfield concert last night.
15:28Then whose is it?
15:36I see.
15:38I'll handle this
15:40personally.
15:44This is the first time
15:46this has ever happened
15:48in the history of McLean & Associates.
15:50Look, all I'm asking is that you bear with me
15:52while we go through this rough patch.
15:54I love working here, Davis,
15:56but missing payroll?
15:58I've got a kid and too many bills.
16:00Look, I understand that totally.
16:02You know how.
16:04Not right now, fellas.
16:06Now's not the time.
16:08I mean, by the looks of it, we're right on time.
16:14Your cut, Mr. McLean?
16:16Fuckin' right.
16:18That's my cut.
16:20Your timing couldn't be better.
16:28I cried the first time I saw it.
16:32Yeah.
16:36I hope my work
16:38can make people feel like that someday.
16:40You're an artist?
16:42Aspiring?
16:44No. Either you are
16:46or you aren't.
16:48I'm trying to
16:50figure that out lately.
16:54You definitely have a good eye
16:56and an interesting point of view.
16:58I can tell
17:00you're having a bit of an identity crisis, though.
17:02Yeah.
17:04You have no idea.
17:08We showcase pieces from emerging
17:10and discovered artists twice a year.
17:12If you're an artist
17:14with solid, elevated pieces,
17:16I'll consider putting
17:18your work up.
17:24I didn't expect you back
17:26for a re-up so soon.
17:28Guess Ghost's son got more of his father
17:30than I thought.
17:32Listen, I didn't know Ghost.
17:34But I know Tariq.
17:36You can trust that we'll
17:38come through.
17:40Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust.
17:42You know, it's funny
17:44you mention trust.
17:46It's my number one
17:48priority with the people I fuck with.
17:50Okay.
17:52Ever since
17:54Dave's introduced you to him,
17:56I feel like motherfuckers been keeping shit from me.
18:00I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
18:02We're not hiding shit.
18:05I see everybody
18:07knew the Russians lost their product.
18:09Boy, it was everywhere.
18:11A vacuum
18:13I expected to fill.
18:15And yet,
18:17I ain't heard shit from them.
18:19But somehow they back in business.
18:23Who's supplying them?
18:27You know something.
18:29Yeah, I see it.
18:31I see it.
18:33Like I said before,
18:35I don't work with people I can't trust.
18:37And you need me
18:39to trust you
18:41to keep your life.
18:43Spit it out, motherfucker.
18:47You didn't hear the shit from me.
18:49Can I trust that?
18:51Of course.
18:53Shit go both ways.
18:55I heard their supplier's some British bitch,
18:57Noma.
18:59But we're not working with her.
19:01Okay, no shady shit,
19:03no backdoor deals.
19:17I believe you.
19:31See you soon, Tiny Tommy.
19:51Go.
20:01Go.
20:09Thought I wouldn't find out about your little ruse.
20:11Huh?
20:13You underestimated me
20:15as I overestimated you.
20:17See, I really thought you were a man
20:19of your word, Tariq.
20:21Disappointing, to say the least.
20:23It's just a party, that's it.
20:25You violated our agreement, Tariq.
20:27I told you, I want it to be as if you didn't exist.
20:29Now, what part of that didn't you understand?
20:31I didn't do shit. It's just a party, like I said.
20:33Yeah, I didn't do shit.
20:35Belongs to you, right?
20:37It ain't mine.
20:39No? Ain't yours.
20:41He's lying. I can always tell when this nigga's lying.
20:43It's a shame. We can't at least
20:45have a moment of honesty before I kill you.
20:49Come on.
20:51Go on.
20:53Do I have to drag your ass out?
20:55No.
20:57Mom?
20:59What the fuck are you doing here?
21:01My love, I was looking for you.
21:03How did you even know I would be here?
21:05Did you put a tracker in my phone again?
21:07Wait, Ania, this is your mom?
21:09Yes.
21:11Sorry, Tariq, I don't even know how she found out about this.
21:13No, no, no, I'm not tripping.
21:15I would love for you to stay and party with us,
21:17but, you know, I gotta put a cap on the HD.
21:19Shit gets weird.
21:21You know how it goes.
21:23I heard there's some alum parties that you can tap into around campus.
21:25Ania, let's go.
21:27No, tell me why you don't...
21:29I'll explain in the car. Let's go.
21:33I'll see you soon.
21:35She will.
21:43That little shit doesn't know when enough is enough.
21:45I can't wait to see his body turn cold.
21:47I'll handle it. Just say the word.
21:49My walls are a little too close right now, yeah?
21:51Ania can't know about my business.
21:53I have to choose my next move very carefully.
22:07Hey, yo, kid, where's Braden?
22:09What?
22:11Where's Braden at?
22:13He's backstage.
22:15Yo.
22:17Yo.
22:19B, are you fucking kidding me right now?
22:21Bro, is this hell out there?
22:23Kane and Noma just left.
22:25Wait, what?
22:27Yes, Kane and Noma was here.
22:29They know exactly what the fuck we got going on,
22:31and now Noma wants us dead.
22:33All right, well, let's go figure it out.
22:35I'm gonna figure this shit out like I always do.
22:37I should just fucking talk to you later, bro.
22:39No, don't stop for me. I already know everything.
22:41Who is yours?
22:43What the fuck is she talking about?
22:45Are you losing your mind, bro?
22:47This shit really got you bugging out.
22:49As soon as y'all break up, she's gonna run her fucking mouth.
22:51You think I'm a snitch?
22:53I think you're an addict, and I can't fucking trust you, honestly.
22:55Don't call her that.
22:57Look what the fuck she got you doing.
22:59Look at this shit.
23:01Bro, time and time again, you prove that you just not fucking built for it.
23:03I'm so fucking sick and tired of hearing that.
23:05Oh, you think I'm not sick and fucking tired of telling you?
23:07Do you think about anybody else but yourself for once in your fucking life?
23:09Okay, I was out of this shit, and I doubled back to save your ass,
23:11and I lost my fucking family over it.
23:13My life is falling apart,
23:15and I can't even talk about it,
23:17because it never trumps the latest Tariq crisis.
23:19Everything going on in your life is always more fucking important than mine.
23:21Maybe this, maybe this right here is my fucking outlet.
23:23This is your fucking outlet, nigga?
23:25Learn how to take this shit on your chin,
23:27like I do every day.
23:29I can't, because I'm not you.
23:31You ain't.
23:33You're not me.
23:35Tariq!
23:37Fuck!
23:40I got your text. What's up?
23:42I hear you looking for your own place.
23:44Yeah, so?
23:46You know you can still stay in the house, Drew.
23:48That room is going to forever be yours.
23:50Oh, I'm good.
23:52Drew, listen, listen.
23:54I just want to make things right between us.
23:56I meant what I said.
23:58Family first is my priority.
24:02You are a sick individual.
24:04You know that?
24:06Listen, you watch what comes out of your mouth next, boy.
24:08I'm still your mother.
24:10You had the audacity to use Papi's words
24:12like you didn't fucking kill him.
24:14It doesn't even phase you.
24:16Family first don't mean shit no more.
24:18It's just a phrase you use
24:20to control and manipulate us.
24:22Family's just business to you.
24:24Everything I've done with this business was for this family.
24:26What family, Monet?
24:30You gave Tariq
24:32and Kane the green light to kill me and Diana.
24:34You had a gun in your child's face
24:36yesterday.
24:38And it wasn't the first time.
24:40You destroyed our family.
24:42Don't...
24:44And your ass is still standing here breathing
24:46because of me.
24:48So you might want to listen.
24:50Yeah, I...
24:52Shit.
24:54You're right. You're right. You're right.
24:56You're right, Drew.
25:00I want to say that every choice I made was for you kids,
25:02but I put the business first.
25:04And I can admit that now.
25:07And I'm sorry.
25:19I never heard you say that shit before,
25:21so...
25:23finally.
25:25Maybe most mothers
25:27don't do things the way I do them.
25:29And most of them would never
25:31find themselves in my position.
25:33But the one thing in this world
25:35that means the most to me,
25:37it means everything to me,
25:39is you kids.
25:41I want to bring the family back together.
25:43But in order to do that,
25:45I'm gonna have to bring the business back.
25:47But this time,
25:49the business will serve the family, Drew.
25:51Not the other way around, I promise you.
25:57But we're gonna need some product.
26:03I know we can get some.
26:05Okay, so you're in.
26:07No. No, I am more than done.
26:09I'm gonna need a cut.
26:11Just so I can get myself set up.
26:13So I can work on my art.
26:15I don't want shit else
26:17to do with this business, Monet.
26:19But if you really meant what you said,
26:21I'm gonna do it.
26:23I'm gonna do it.
26:25I'm gonna do it.
26:27I'm gonna do it.
26:29I'm gonna do it.
26:31You said
26:33about being
26:35a real family.
26:39I'm in on that.
26:43Understood.
26:45So tell me how.
26:51We're gonna need soldiers.
26:55You're taking over.
26:57Taking over.
26:59Fucking Treagle.
27:01Answer any of my fucking calls.
27:03He'll come around.
27:09Look, I'm sorry about what he said.
27:11He was just pissed. He's not usually a dick.
27:13You don't have to apologize for him.
27:15I thought he was a dick way before today.
27:17And from what it sounded like,
27:19he really needs to take a look
27:21in the mirror.
27:23He has no room to judge me.
27:25For sure.
27:27I knew you'd agree.
27:31What's that supposed to mean?
27:33I gave him a little
27:35surprise.
27:37You know that outlet he said he didn't have?
27:39Man, I remember
27:41the epiphany I had when
27:43I did acid. God.
27:45It was like I was really seeing myself
27:47for the first time. Okay, what are you talking about?
27:49I put
27:51a couple drops of acid in Tariq's
27:53water bottle. Are you fucking kidding me?
27:55Tariq barely even smokes.
27:57This could really fuck him up. Yeah, maybe that's
27:59his problem. I don't know a single person who needs a J
28:01more than Tariq. When did you do this? Earlier at
28:03the candy store. It was acid,
28:05not fentanyl. No, it's not okay.
28:07Are you fucking kidding me?
28:13You okay, bro?
28:15Why are you okay?
28:19Tariq.
28:21Don't fucking touch me.
28:23Stay calm, bro. I got you.
28:29What's up? How was your day?
28:31You still up?
28:33Yes.
28:45You lied. You lied.
28:47You promised me.
28:49You promised me.
28:52You promised me.
28:54You promised me that you'd get out of here.
28:56You promised.
28:58You promised.
29:16What are you doing here, son?
29:18I'm in the way of your future,
29:20right? You do the shit
29:22you can never go back.
29:28You can't kill me.
29:32Nothing can.
29:34Not when you're at the top of the game.
29:38Who the fuck are you?
29:40I'm everything you could be once you
29:42stop doubting yourself.
29:46Stop pretending that people's rules and expectations
29:48apply to your life.
29:50And be the man that your father was always afraid to be.
30:00You know it always come to this.
30:04Yo.
30:06Yo, what the fuck?
30:08What the fuck happened?
30:10I don't know. I came in here
30:12and you were losing it.
30:14I think someone might have dosed you.
30:16Dosed me? What the fuck do you mean dosed me?
30:18I don't know. It's just been happening all over campus.
30:20Some fucked up prank.
30:46Who are you
30:48going to light a candle for?
30:54My father,
30:56my brother,
30:58and
31:00my friend.
31:02You?
31:04My husband.
31:06I come here every day.
31:08I think he sees the light
31:10and knows that even though
31:12he's moved on to the next level,
31:14even though he's moved on
31:16to the next life,
31:18he's still in my heart.
31:20Death is not
31:22the end of love, you know?
31:28My father taught me.
31:30He taught me
31:32that the soul lives on.
31:34It does.
31:40Cuando va a nacer tu hijo,
31:44I'm sorry, how do you
31:46know that I'm not showing?
31:48Do I show him?
31:50Yeah.
31:52You sure about this?
31:54Yeah.
31:56As long as we hit him right after the drop happens.
31:58We got a small window, so we need to be precise.
32:02Still, I'm not sure.
32:04I'm not sure.
32:06I'm not sure.
32:08I'm not sure.
32:10I'm not sure.
32:12I'm not sure.
32:14I'm not sure.
32:16I'm not sure.
32:18I'm not sure.
32:20It's still risky as shit.
32:22Look, that's Drew's route
32:24when he used to work for Noma.
32:26He knows what he's talking about.
32:28A shipment should have enough product for us to move,
32:30get paid,
32:32and then you can proposition a new connect for a bigger supply.
32:34And if we do this shit right, Noma would never know it was us.
32:36He better be right about this shit.
32:38I ain't got no time to waste.
32:40Look, you motherfuckers say you wanted to be down with the Tejadas.
32:42I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself.
32:44Now, you in or you out?
32:46I ain't asking again.
32:50Alright.
32:52I'm down too.
32:54Alright, tomorrow night.
32:56Don't be late.
32:58Everything
33:00has a cost, Mr. Adams.
33:02Everything.
33:04Yes, yeah.
33:06But this is the United States government we're talking about.
33:08My former statement
33:10still stands.
33:12Look, at this level, where the I's and T's
33:14have to, you know, appear to be crossed,
33:16it's just a risk that
33:18most people are not going to be willing to take,
33:20especially with someone whose
33:22citizenship is
33:24in limbo.
33:26It puts a magnifying glass on your bid.
33:28Like I said, it's in progress.
33:30Hi.
33:32A mistake has been made.
33:34This table's already reserved for the evening.
33:36Your hostess sat us here
33:38and I'm in the middle of a business dinner.
33:40I see that and I can't apologize
33:42enough for the inconvenience.
33:44I have an amazing table over by the window that I think you'll love.
33:46We're not going anywhere.
33:48Look, there are other available tables.
33:50The guest has an affinity for this table.
33:56Thank you so much.
33:58Thank you.
34:00I keep a
34:02standing reservation
34:04for this table.
34:06It's like I own it.
34:08So, basically, you're squatting on my property.
34:10The mistake is the restaurant.
34:12It's not ours, okay?
34:14It's just a table, love.
34:16There's a beautiful view of the city by the window.
34:18That's just it.
34:20I can close my eyes and picture
34:22every inch of this city.
34:24Every block.
34:26Every bodega.
34:28This is my home.
34:30So, when
34:32people like yourself
34:34you know, they come in
34:36and try to colonize territory that don't belong to them
34:38saying it's just
34:40a table,
34:43I feel the need to remind them of who was here first.
34:49Unfortunately
34:51for you, Norma,
34:53I didn't pee on every tree
34:55in my head.
34:57Anyone with a knob can do that.
34:59I'm sorry, do you know each other?
35:01No.
35:03No, we don't.
35:07I'm Zion.
35:13Why don't you go enjoy
35:15the view of my city
35:17while you can?
35:19You should be able to see the Queensborough Bridge
35:21from over there.
35:33Gotcha, Ted.
35:35You good?
35:37Who the fuck is Zion?
35:39Mid-level dealer from around the way.
35:41What's up?
35:43Who have you been talking to about me?
35:45I've done a damn good job of insulating myself.
35:47No bottom-of-the-barrel
35:49drug-dealing scum
35:51should be speaking my name in public.
35:53I ain't say shit.
35:55What's going on?
35:57Zion. Do you know him?
35:59I do. He's a client. Why?
36:01Ah, there it is.
36:03Well, he humiliated me in front of Wiley.
36:05Yeah.
36:07He put my business at stake.
36:09Well, he can't do that. I'll handle it.
36:11No, no. Let me handle this one, okay?
36:13All right? I have a way with words, and I know both players.
36:15Well, that sounds nice or whatever, but don't underestimate
36:17my family name in these streets, all right?
36:19Especially to somebody like Zion.
36:21Noted. But Zion's
36:23unpredictable and dangerous.
36:25So, so am I.
36:27Just trust me.
36:29No Davis, no security.
36:31Just me and you.
36:35Fine.
36:37Really? You heard her.
36:39Brilliant.
36:41I'll handle Wiley Adams.
36:43Make sure we're good on the legit front.
36:52This is where Zion used to fight when he was coming up.
36:54You know how he runs?
36:56Yeah. Are you sure it's safe for just the two of us?
36:58Yeah, this is
37:00agreed-upon neutral territory.
37:02Safer to put you here than anywhere else.
37:04Big Zoo.
37:06Hey, you ain't here to start no shit, right?
37:08Of course not.
37:10I know you ain't strapped.
37:12Nigga, I know the fucking rules.
37:22Fucking hell.
37:24You brought me in here without protection.
37:26No weapons. Even Zion ain't strapped.
37:28Yo.
37:30Long time no see.
37:32Thank you.
37:34My condolences about Lorenzo.
37:36Heard what happened down at the funeral.
37:38That's not the standoff an OG deserves at all.
37:40I appreciate that. I know you respected him.
37:42Him?
37:44Monet? Your whole family?
37:46You sure about that? He ain't even violating.
37:48Oh, you heard that
37:50from your new little friend?
37:52Nigga, I ain't no yo.
37:54Well, now you know. Alright? So questioning her credentials
37:56is questioning mine.
37:58She belongs wherever I do. Have a good one.
38:00Kane.
38:02I ain't know you got a new bitch.
38:04Watch your tongue,
38:06or I'll cut it out for you.
38:08See, I don't need a man to speak for me.
38:10You're one of them feminist bitches, huh?
38:12Like I told you before,
38:14you in my city, sweetheart.
38:16Show some motherfucking respect.
38:20Kane, now I heard the Tejadas was moving
38:22real desperate after Lorenzo,
38:24but damn, this shit just sad.
38:26Come on now, bro.
38:28Don't touch me.
38:30What you think you doing, little nigga?
38:32How about we take this in the ring?
38:34You got the balls for that?
38:36Yeah, big ones.
38:38Alright, alright.
38:40Hey, this shit gonna be fine, nigga.
38:48I thought you said he was a trained fighter.
38:50And what you think I am?
38:52I'm fucking natural.
38:58Go, go, go.
39:02Zion's Blessing.
39:06Oh, shit!
39:08Zion's Blessing in the ring
39:10for the first time in years!
39:14It's about to get really real
39:16in this motherfucker tonight.
39:18Kane, you're about to go up
39:20against a fourth circle OG.
39:24You might want to do a push-up
39:26or something.
39:28I don't need no warm-up.
39:30You hear that? Fuck a warm-up!
39:32It's a fucking jumping jack!
39:34Queens!
39:36We in here!
39:38Let's make it happen.
39:52Getting tired already, OG?
39:56It's a graveyard, niggas.
39:58I knocked down his ring.
40:00You ready to join?
40:20Manny, get this nigga a stretcher.
40:26Get this nigga a stretcher.
40:32Yo, yo, yo!
40:34Grass knuckles?
40:36Yeah, we don't do that shit in here.
40:38Flag on the fucking plate, man.
40:40For real.
40:42Fuck you.
40:44Yo, the winner, my brother,
40:46Kane Jahana!
40:56So...carnal.
40:58I'm impressed.
41:00Don't act so surprised.
41:02Yeah, well, we may have won tonight,
41:04but we hurt his pride.
41:06He isn't gonna let that go.
41:08I'm gonna have to be prepared
41:10for his retaliation.
41:12I hear you.
41:14But now he knows you can't be fucked with.
41:16Zion talks a lot of shit,
41:18but at the end of the day, this is my city.
41:20So you're good when you're with me.
41:22Like I told you,
41:24all you need is me.
41:30We gotta find a new way to move products
41:32since Noma blew up our shit.
41:34Fuck that shit, bro.
41:36We're gonna keep throwing parties like we've been doing.
41:38What you mean?
41:40Did you not just hear me, Noma?
41:42Fuck Noma, nigga!
41:44I had to tell Zion about her.
41:46You did what?
41:48He was gonna fucking kill me.
41:50I had no choice.
41:53Noma's shit to whatever the fuck happened earlier,
41:55I need to get back in the driver's seat.
41:57Bro, I'm about to be a father.
41:59I'm gonna be a father.
42:01I gotta do this shit right.
42:03I gotta control every fucking piece.
42:05That's the only way I can protect me and my family.
42:07You know, my dad did a lot of dumb shit
42:09that I never agreed with,
42:11but I got a lot of him in me.
42:13Never heard you say that shit before.
42:15Never wanted to fucking admit it.
42:17But, you know, I realized
42:19to give it the fuck I want,
42:21the good parts of him,
42:23the bad parts of him,
42:25and the good parts and the bad parts of me,
42:27I gotta put it all to use to get what I want.
42:29What do you want?
42:31Revenge?
42:33That and a lot more.
42:37I wanted blood, B.
42:39I wanted fucking blood.
42:41But in order to get that,
42:43I need to insulate myself, my family,
42:45and my kid from all the consequences.
42:47I gotta become the Apex Predator.
42:49I like the sound of that.
42:51But how do we do it?
42:53We start by getting leverage.
43:17These?
43:19I'm gonna put that lip balm on.
43:24There.
43:30Found it.
43:32Yeah.
43:38Found it.
43:48So, I, uh,
43:50shouldn't be home too late tonight.
43:56You wait up for me, yeah?
44:02Yeah.
44:16Sorry I'm late.
44:18Everything okay? You good?
44:20I've had some time to think.
44:22Some people told me
44:24this baby could be a fresh start
44:26and some straight up told me to get rid of it.
44:28But, honestly,
44:30the only thing that made sense
44:32was to listen to how I feel.
44:34To think about my life
44:36and how much this decision can change it.
44:38And?
44:40I'm keeping it.
44:44Look, it's my decision to make, Doreen.
44:46So, if you don't want to be involved,
44:48I get it. It's okay.
44:50That's not the case at all.
44:52You know, I actually
44:54had some time to think about this myself, too.
44:56I'm ready.
44:58I'm ready to do this, D.
45:04Well,
45:06I have my first ultrasound tomorrow.
45:08You want to come?
45:12Yeah.
45:18Davis.
45:20To what do I owe the pleasure?
45:22I came to update you.
45:24I smoothed everything over
45:26with Wiley Adams.
45:28But he couldn't be talked out of thinking
45:30you and Zion are connected.
45:32Good news.
45:34Your bid for the Jetparks contract
45:36isn't in jeopardy.
45:38He's just dirty enough,
45:40which is perfect for us.
45:42Thank you.
45:44I'm too close for any setbacks.
45:46Exactly.
45:48You know,
45:50you know, Davis,
45:52you just might be as good as they say you are.
45:54Trust me. I'm better.
45:56Would you like to join me for a glass?
45:58Love to.
46:10Here's to
46:14a good night.
46:16Good night.
46:18Possibilities.
46:22Foreseen and unforeseen.
46:26Unforeseen.
46:48Unforeseen.
47:12So cold.
47:14So cold.
47:18Here you go.
47:22Fuck this up.
47:28Fuck this up.
47:36Fuck this up!
47:38Fuck this up!
47:48Fuck this up!
47:54NYPD, surrender your weapons!
47:56You heard her! Put the fucking weapons down!
47:58Put them down now!
48:00Put your fucking weapons on the motherfucking ground!
48:02Let's go!
48:04Put your hands on the truck!
48:06Hands on the fucking van! Let's go!
48:08Hands on the fucking van!
48:10Get the fuck off me!
48:12We got phones?
48:14Turn around.
48:22Monet.
48:24How the fuck are you?
48:26You know him?
48:28Well, we're more than that, getting to know each other stage.
48:30Right, Red?
48:32Fuck all these mind games. Are you gonna take us to jail or not?
48:34No, I'm not gonna take you to jail.
48:36Because the moment you get out, you're just gonna go back
48:38to doing what it is you fucking do.
48:40So what the fuck do you want then?
48:43I want the opportunity to remain free.
48:47You follow the rules.
48:49So what, you want us to stop selling drugs?
48:53Ideally.
48:55This ain't a fucking ideal world, you feel me?
48:59Drug dealers are like fucking cockroaches.
49:01Impossible to eradicate.
49:03Believe me, I tried.
49:05Then I realized there's always gonna be a demand,
49:07so there's always gonna be supply.
49:09That's just simple economics.
49:11Exactly.
49:13So I got some simple rules.
49:15Listen carefully.
49:17Civilians should never be hurt in the process.
49:19You can kill all the criminals you want,
49:21but you spill
49:23one drop
49:25of innocent blood,
49:27and we kill you.
49:29You trying to control all the drug dealers in the city?
49:31Try.
49:33Nah, son, I'm winning.
49:35My task force decides
49:37who gets to operate in this city.
49:39You stay in line,
49:41keep innocents out of harm's way.
49:43You can continue.
49:45But you go rogue.
49:47You will go to prison,
49:49or we kill you.
49:55Why you looking at me, man?
49:57You take her,
49:59and she's the boss.
50:01You motherfucker, I knew you was a bitch.
50:03Oh, we got a real hero.
50:05Is that that motherfucker again?
50:09I put it together.
50:11I recognize you.
50:13You killed Darian James
50:15two years ago.
50:17He was 18 years old.
50:19That wasn't me.
50:21That's definitely him.
50:23Please, man. Please, let me go back to my family.
50:25Shot that kid on the subway.
50:29He was days away from going to Binghamton.
50:31His father broke down
50:33on that platform in my arms.
50:35We looked
50:37for you for months.
50:39Months!
50:41I never forget her
50:43fucking face.
50:45It was you.
50:51But he didn't get to go home to his family,
50:53so
50:55why should you?
51:01What the fuck?
51:03Come on, get over here.
51:05You touched my kid.
51:07I meant what I fucking said.
51:09You harm an innocent, and you're fucking done.
51:11So what the fuck, we work for you now?
51:13Look at it this way.
51:15I'm giving you the opportunity to work with me.
51:17You can keep the product
51:19you stole tonight.
51:21From what I know about you, you're quick, well-connected.
51:23So I'll be expecting my cut
51:25soon.
51:27Your cut? The fuck you mean?
51:29This New York City, I gotta pay my people.
51:31Reasonable 35%.
51:33Think of it as giving back to the community.
51:35And what's keeping
51:37us from reporting you?
51:39Oh, shit.
51:41You got a real smart one, boss.
51:43You're looking at New York City's
51:45favorite, most decorated
51:47officer.
51:49People tend to believe him over scum like you.
51:51Well, shut up, bitch.
51:53So now that we have an understanding,
51:55you're free to go.
51:57As far as NYPD is concerned,
51:59you was never here.
52:01Take your shit.
52:03Clear the fuck out.
52:07Monet, you feel that?
52:09Feel what?
52:11It's the start of something
52:13special.
52:15Get the fuck out of here.
52:25It's still very early.
52:27You see that little bean
52:29right there?
52:31That's your baby.
52:33I can snap a still of it
52:35and print it out for you, too.
52:37Here you go.
52:39And I will just go get it
52:41and give you two moments.
52:47It's still so small.
52:49I know.
52:51Crazy, because
52:53one day he'll be as big as you.
52:55Yeah.
52:57So you really think
52:59it's a boy, huh?
53:01Yeah, I do.
53:03And
53:05I think I want to name him
53:07Lorenzo.
53:11Look,
53:13Tariq,
53:15I've been trying to get in contact with Salim and I haven't
53:17heard back from him. Have you?
53:21Don't lie.
53:23Okay? Because I know something happened to him.
53:25He found me at his house a couple days ago
53:27then all of a sudden he goes missing. That don't make sense.
53:31All right, look, D,
53:33I pulled up on the nigga,
53:35passed him where you were, and he folded.
53:37Next thing you know, he's gone. I mean,
53:39anything could have fucking happened to the nigga.
53:41It ain't got nothing to do with me, though.
53:45Well, I'm not going to be like Monet.
53:47So that means I can't have this baby around the life,
53:49even if that means I'm raising it by myself.
53:52Look, D,
53:54my dad tried his hardest to keep me away from this shit.
53:56Now look how it turned out.
53:58I understand that he was trying to protect us
54:00by
54:02getting out of the game, but
54:04he wasn't really out of the game, D.
54:06He had one foot in,
54:08one foot out. His past,
54:10his enemies, everything was chasing
54:12right behind him his whole life.
54:14Okay? That was his way.
54:16But I ain't doing it like that.
54:18I don't need to be out of this shit to protect y'all.
54:20I need to be on top.
54:22Okay?
54:24That's how I protect you two.
54:28That don't work for me.
54:30Bye, Serena.
54:36I got a bad guy!
54:44Oh, I hope I'm out.
