Black Heat (2024) Movie Script
1
I'm tripping
off this shit, right,
because like how you
see "Boyzs n the Hood"
and not "Menace II Society?"
Like how does that
kinda shit even happen?
I mean she is only 15.
Shit, I'm surprised
she even seen that one.
I'm not,
and you know what?
We need to watch it as
soon as she get home.
All as a family.
I mean if you watched one,
definitely watch the other one.
No, what do we really remember
about "Boys n the Hood?"
Let's recollect, shall we?
"Ricky!"
That's what you remember.
Him getting shot in the back
because he ran in
the straight line.
Everybody know you
supposed to zigzag.
You got to bob and weave, Ricky.
There are plenty
of quotable lines.
Alright, well quote me one.
- You ready?
- Yep.
"Any fool with a dick
could make a baby,
but only a real man could
raise his children."
Womp.
That sounded like a
deep ass Instagram video.
That's the sermon.
See, that shit got way too deep.
I'm talking about like the
one-liners, like the zingers.
The nobody ever
gonna forget this.
- Okay then, Mr. Zinger.
- Mm-hm.
Gimme that quota with
"Menace II Society."
Oh, I thought you'd never asked.
No, what do you say though?
What the fuck you mean
you ain't got my
mother fucking money?
"You need to be coming
up on my cash or else."
Right?
Or, "I feel sorry
for your mother."
What you say about my mama?"
Remember when he hit
the hood and was like,
"I got the tape."
That shit was crazy.
No, no, no, no, no.
This the one though.
The big one-liner.
"You know you fucked up, right?
You know you up."
Exactly.
You gotta work on
the one-liners, babe.
You gotta work on them shits.
See if we do that
in public, you know.
- If I do that in New Orleans.
- The hood, time out.
Time out.
You don't say New Orleans.
No, no, I got you, I got you.
It's New Orleans.
It got the ah, ah,
ah, New Orleans.
- New Orleans.
- It's New Orleans.
- Orleans.
- Orleans.
You think she gonna
be excited to see us?
I hope so, but you
know them teenagers
be a little feisty
sometimes, so you never know.
I remember the first
time I seen her.
I was so scared.
I mean, when she came eight
weeks early, she was so small,
couldn't even open up her eyes.
I didn't think she
was gonna make it.
I kind of fought
myself for, you know,
feeling like I brung her
in this world too early.
Like she wasn't really ready.
Are you crazy?
No, you the reason that our baby
got a fighting
chance in this world.
You doing a great fucking job.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I hope so.
Wait, that's it?
It's the address she gave.
How you even know
that's the real address?
I mean it would wanna be.
It's gonna be bad
for him if it ain't.
It would wanna be
the right address.
Hey, set your ass up.
Come on, man, sit your ass up.
Mother fucker.
I ain't got shit to say.
You dead already.
I'm just fittin' to
watch you bleed out.
Look, you already told
us about this place.
You might as well keep talking.
I ain't got shit for
you but a coffin.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't, don't kill him.
Don't kill him yet.
What the
fuck is so funny?
Y'all, you stupid.
That's what I'm talking about.
"Boyz n the Hood,"
"Menace II Society,"
you should be talking
about "The Mack."
Give a better sense of what
you're going up against.
You need to shut the fuck up
before I let her
beat your ass again.
I'm saying that what is she, 19?
Fuck, she built like
a grown ass woman.
Watch your fucking mouth.
- Bitch, I'm trying to-
- Don't fucking talk
to my woman like
that, mother fucker.
Okay, don't listen to me.
Go ahead see what
that'll get you.
We trying to listen to you,
but you gotta have
some fucking respect.
I trying to do my one
good deed this year
and save your lives.
But the two of y'all are
caught up in your feelings.
Fuck you.
You think you can
fuck with the gang?
First off, soon as
he knows you're here,
he's giving her a hot shot.
What is the a shot?
Oh.
So maybe you're not such
a square after all, huh?
You was the game a bit?
What the fuck is a hot shot?
Ask him.
What is a hot shot?
It's heroin.
It's enough to kill her.
Second, assuming you
actually find her,
you ain't never gonna
get outta here alive.
We got people everywhere.
We got your ass didn't we?
We can get him too.
Did you?
Get me?
Or are you where I want you?
Man, fuck you.
You mother fuckers listen!
Her mind is gone.
She's in love.
She's working for him so
she can build a house,
get minks, diamonds,
be his queen.
Then if she's really
on that heroin,
shit, she's really gone.
But do what you do.
I'm gonna watch you
bleed out like I said.
Okay.
You gonna have to watch
with your mouth closed.
Fuck you.
Lay your fucking ass back down.
I got no problem fucking you up.
Let's do this.
Only use this if you need to.
Man who the fuck is
you and why in the hell
is you knocking on
my door this early
in the goddamn morning?
I'm looking for somebody.
You think you can help me?
Problem is everybody
looking for somebody.
This says security not 411.
Look, they got a man here
and I think he's running girls
and I think he has my daughter.
Can you help me out?
This like a whore house to you?
I got 220 units
and while I might not
know what everybody doing
up in these spots, it
sure ain't no pimping
going around here.
You can believe that.
So you don't know King David?
What'd you say that name for?
Man, get the fuck off my yard.
Nah, fuck that.
He got my baby girl.
Get y'all
simple asses in here.
The fuck you looking
so scared for?
Ah, 'cause y'all come
in here dressed like that,
point a gun at me,
talking about King David.
Shit, he ain't one to fuck with.
Well see, here's the thing.
He fighting for what
he think he want.
I'm fighting for what
I know I can't lose.
You understand that?
Look man, your kid ain't here.
The king ain't here.
Ain't nothing here but trouble
and you about to fuck
around and find out.
Now get the fuck outta here
before I call the folks.
What if he was
lying and she not even here?
- We back to luck.
- Something's off.
This mother fucker,
he ain't nothin' but a drunk.
No, something else.
Look, we could
either go back home,
we could just start over.
Or we could just start knocking
on some of these fucking doors.
Watch out bae.
- You fucked up?
- What's up nigga?
What the is wrong with you?
You want me to shoot
you in the fucking face?
Go ahead, shoot.
Because as soon as you do,
everybody gonna hear
you and we both dead.
Get your bitch ass then.
Let's do this mother fucker.
Want some more of that?
Babe, don't shoot him.
Fuck you mother fucker.
Fuck!
What's the plan?
He was all we fucking
need, we fucked.
No, we gonna figure this off.
Okay, I fucked that
dude up and I got us here,
but I just killed a man.
You remember what happened
last time I killed a man?
This is not the last time.
This was a mistake.
No, mistake was us
going to the police.
Mistake was us
going to the church.
Mistake was us not figuring out
what was going on with Tiana.
This was not no fucking mistake.
What are we supposed to do?
Huh?
Man, there's 220 doors, she
gotta be behind one of these.
The question is, which one?
Here for my three 3:30.
- Answer it.
- No!
If you don't answer it,
they're gonna think
that somethings wrong.
Here for my 3:30.
- It is wrong.
- You're a man.
So, you're a woman,
they gonna trust you.
You cuter than me.
Hello, Tyrone?
- Say something, say coming.
- Coming.
Tyrone.
Hey.
I'm here now.
Better take that ring off.
Hey there.
Tyrone had an emergency
so I'm just looking over
things until he gets back.
That's all right,
you are an upgrade.
Thank you, cool,
be back in an hour?
Oh no, no, I can't.
I got an appointment
at eight o'clock.
Okay, I need time to clean
up, shower after, you know.
Um, sorry, no.
Look, just check the ledger.
Okay, tell me which
room's free, okay?
The ledger.
Oh, the ledger.
Yeah, he told me all about that,
but he told me not to touch
anything until he gets back.
Listen, I come
here twice a week.
I don't think the boss
wants to lose my business
'cause some broad don't
wanna off her pimp,
even if she does look good.
Now go check the ledger.
Come on.
Let him in, let him in.
You know what?
How 'bout you come look
over that ledger yourself.
All right.
Look, I'm not
looking for trouble.
- I just-
- You just came to fuck.
I know.
But let me ask you something.
Before you pull your fucking
dick out, do you ever step back
to ask yourself if this
young girl who you loving on
might have a mom and a dad
who like might come
looking for her?
Or is she just fucking
doped up and outta her mind?
Or are you just trying to see
how quick you can get a nut?
Don't start fucking crying.
Sorry.
Maybe you could think
better without this.
This nigga pissin' on hisself?
Man, watch out, man.
Sit the fuck down.
You gonna kill me?
You can't kill me, I got
kids, a wife, they need me.
Mother fucker, if you tell
me one of your kids is a girl,
I'm gonna bust a
cap in your ass.
Do you need me to clean
the fucking wax
outta of your ears?
Okay, okay, okay, look, I
have a little daughter, nine.
I've been married for 15 years.
Okay, my wife stopped
having sex with me
and I work 60 hours a week.
And the kids, they have
things to do four days a week.
I love them.
I'm there.
I show up for everything.
I provide.
I'm present.
And when I found this place,
it was just no questions.
I mean, I just show up,
they put me on the ledger
and I go to a room
and it's done.
- And-
- Stop, stop.
Go back.
To what part?
The part about the ledger.
And they look at the ledger
and they see who's available,
they write my name down
and based on how much
I pay, I get a gold,
silver, or a bronze card.
I take the card up to the
room, give it to the girl
- and then have fun.
- Fun?
I, you know, I complete the
transaction and that's it.
I think they give the card
and that's how they get paid.
So, what's this
ledger look like?
It's an account ledger.
It's over there.
So where's the line?
I got the numbers
and the initials,
but I don't see a TC anywhere.
Come on, man, they
wouldn't use real names.
Can I see?
Oh, yours is for today.
The times are the
logs of the visits.
Shit, a couple girls
are busy right now.
They got these girls turning
tricks every two hours.
Better hope your dick
don't fall off, buddy.
Hey!
- What the fuck, man?
- Please, please,
don't kill me, man.
Okay?
Bro, if I wanna kill you, I
Fuck you.
Fuck.
Stupid, why would you do this?
You could've just went home.
You could've just went home.
Hey, hey, you gonna
be all right, okay?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Fuck!
Uh!
Fuck.
- Oh my God, fuck!
- It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I know you pushed us to do this,
but it's my job to make sure
you and Tiana get
outta here safe.
You understand?
So, y'all will leave
even if I'm not with you.
Malik, I'm not going
nowhere without you.
Um Lex, I'm not bullshitting.
You get out with baby,
you put her in that car, and
y'all get the fuck outta here.
You understand what
I'm saying to you?
I need to know that you hear me.
I hear you.
All right?
Okay?
We gotta move fast.
Gotta move fast.
How the hell we
supposed to find 310?
Yeah, 'cause this
shit don't even show.
They got ones on
the top, the bottom.
This shit's dumb.
Shit don't make no sense.
These are the hundreds.
Let's check over
there for the twos.
Yo, who is it?
It's Terry.
Tyrone sent me up.
Terry ain't
working till tomorrow.
I always get their
names mixed up, bro.
I don't know them.
They just put my
name on the list
and they told me to come up.
They gave me this gold card.
Come tell me to do my thing.
Hello?
You know, I'm just gonna
go ahead and go, man,
it's making me a
little nervous, man.
It's feeling like a setup.
I'm gonna go.
What kind of
card you say you got?
It's a gold card.
See, look at that.
It's all gold.
You ready for whatever
we about to see
on the other side of this door?
Nope.
That still ain't gonna stop us.
- Keep it cool.
- Who the fuck are you?
Just fucking keep it cool.
Get off a me!
Ah!
Oh fuck!
Fuck!

Lex.
Don't!
Don't touch it.

He stabbed me.
He stabbed me.
I gotta see where you hurt.
Oh fuck, fuck!
- Lemme see.

Make this bitch yell.
Hold on.
- I'm sorry.
- What was that?
I said I was sorry, King.
I was just.
Fucking up my inspiration?
- No.
- Hm?
You know how hard
it is to get there?
Where the breast disappears
and you become one
with the canvas?
You just fucked that
up.
You got one thing to do
and that's to be fucking still.
Is this about you
and these earrings?
I asked you to do one thing
and that's just to be still
for me and you can't do it.
I'm sorry.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let me clean you up.
All right?
Look at me.
Resume your pose.
Ready.
King gonna fuck y'all up.
Listen, we not here to judge you
or anything else.
To be honest, we ain't even mean
for none of this shit to happen.
But what we really need
is to find our daughter
and I feel like you
could really help us.
Don't you think if she wanted
to be found, you
wouldn't be asking me?
No, we think that you
don't know what to think
because you got that shit
running through your veins.
Fuck you!
If I scream right now,
y'all both fucked.
Oh yeah, so why didn't you?
Because you fucked up my night
and I'm gonna give you an
opportunity to make it right.
That sounds like a great idea.
How would you like
us to make it right?
I think you cost me about 1,500.
Go ahead and cashapp me that
and I'll let y'all leave
before I start screaming.
Malik.
How 'bout this idea?
How about...
How about you help
us find our daughter
and we help you leave
this place free?
We walk right out
this door, right now.
Go live your life.
Don't that sound
like a better idea?
I'm fine right here.
Wow.
Hold on.
How I know you even know her?
You don't.
But if she's here, I'll know.
Don't take many
pictures of her, huh?
Just be a little busy.
Mother of the fucking year.
Ah.
Gracias.
You.
- It's you.
- You know her?
No, I know you and I know
everything you did to her.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
You're sick.
I did nothing but love her.
Well then fuck your love.
I ain't telling you shit!
You open up your mouth for
all them little dicks you take,
but you ain't gonna
open up your mouth
to tell us where Tiana is?
She don't go by that no more.
And I can open my
mouth just fine, watch.
Gimme your piece now.

- No.
You need to go home.
Yo, King.
Security breach.
Handle it discretely.
Hey.
Oh, you know how to get
served but not protect.
You might wanna reconsider
where you're aiming that thing.
Back up.
Back up, I will shoot you

You should.
I'm just looking

But you won't.
Ah, babe, don't shoot him.
He's a cop, he's a cop.
He's a cop.
You gonna drop that

or we gonna skip to the part
where I make you regret pulling

Get that shit outta my face.

Sh.
Baby we got you.
Where's King?
He's gonna kill me?
No wait, nobody's gonna
do anything to you baby.
- Daddy got you.
- I didn't ask
- you to come here.
- Tiana, we're not
gonna wait for you to
start drowning to dive in.
Okay?
Why would
you do this to me?
Do what, Tiana, we
are here to help you.
We just wanna bring
you home, baby girl.
Help?
Home?
I didn't ask for your help.
I hate that you had me.
I wish you all were dead.
Tiana, you don't
mean that, okay?
I do.
I mean every word.
I'm leaving.
You not going nowhere.
Sit yo ass down.
Get the fuck away
from me, bitch.
- Sit the fuck down.
- Hey!
Hey ma'am, ma'am,
ma'am, ma'am, please.
I don't see what
she been through.
You don't disrespect
your parents in my house.
First of all, this little
shitty place is not a house.
I'd be careful throwing
the parent word out.
That's enough, Tiana,
with your little spoiled.
- Shut.
- Ungrate.
Ooh?
Sit the fuck down!
Sit the fuck down@.
Lex, calm down.
We risk our lives
trying to save her
and she act like
we did her wrong?
What about that pimp
that fucked you?
Forced you to fuck for money,
gave your body to,
your essence to?
Grown ass men who don't
fucking deserve it.
And you in our face
like we fucked up?
Fuck you and your
fake riteousness.
Fuck you!
- I hate you.
- And I hate you too.
You little tramp.
Both of y'all shut the fuck up.
Enough of this.
Okay, stop hitting her.
And you, you are a child.
Why are you acting like your
life is just so terrible?
Like we don't love you.
But would you love
me knowing it all?
Tiana, what are
you talking about?
Knowing all of what, love?
Stop being stupid, Tiana.
What if I've been lying?
Every time I called you daddy?
What is she talking about, Lex?
What is she talking about?
Little tramp, huh?
Maybe the apple
never left the tree.
Listen, listen to me.
You can be mad.
You can be mad at us.
You can be mad at me.
But you don't have to say things
to intentionally try to hurt me.
Okay?
You're taking it too far.
If it's true, it's true.
She didn't deny it, did she?
So, you not gonna deny it?
Oh shit.
This ain't the fucking
time to be quiet, Alexis.
Say something.
What the fuck is happening?
You want me to come?
Tell the truth?
Alexis!
You're the only
fucking father she knows!
When you were getting locked up,
I went out, I got drunk before
the weekend of your trial.
- And, and-
- And what?
And I met some guy
and I met some guy.
And he offered to help
and he took me home.
You fucked him?
And you knew this whole time?
He took advantage of me!
And then you took
advantage of me!
What the, man?
How did she know before I did?
He found us.
He told her
it's not her fault.
I made her swear
not to tell you.
She didn't even accept him.
You're the only father
she knows and loves.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Malik, please.
We can talk about this.
Please Malik, let's
talk about it.
Don't do this, please.
Let's just go home.
Can you keep 'em here
till the morning?
Just 'til the sun
comes up, please.
Go ahead.
Love you.
No Malik, not like this.
I remember the
first time I seen you.
But, would you
love me knowing it all?
What if I've been lying every
time I called you daddy?
You're the only
fucking father she knows!
Fuck!
You jerk!
Then why'd he leave me?
I was four, I had nobody.
You had me.
I had me.
Only me, yu were never there.
Tiana, you wanted to eat,
I had to provide the food.
You wanted lights, I had
to pay the utilities.
You wanted Jordans on your feet.
Shit, I had to be like
Mike and I had to work.
I did everything I
could do for you.
And when I was
pregnant I didn't work.
- But when your father-
- Malik.
He's not my dad.
When your father,
Malik, got arrested
and that judge told me that
he was gonna do 10 years,
I panicked in that courtroom.
I fell to the ground and
Malik tried to help me,
but they dragged
him away screaming.
Mom, you were never there.
Ever.
I didn't know how
to be a mom alone.
Told me he was gone for work
and then vacation and then work.
I was four, not stupid.
And all I felt was
that he hated me.
That he didn't love me,
that I wasn't good enough.
You know what, I
didn't have the love
a girl should have him her
dad, but I don't need that now.
King has my heart and
he's taking care of it.
Is that the
love you're talking
about dripping down your arm?
Thousand to one you
ain't do that yourself.
Man, we gotta get you
outta here young blood.
What the fuck
happened to your face?
Man, don't worry about my face.
We gotta get you outta here.
Fuck that.
I'm working on
whoever did this shit.
No man, you should be
up in Julliard somewhere.
And I told you this place
is bad for business,
but you don't listen.
Let me get you up
outta this shit.
Get you straight.
Get me straight.
Nigga, I'm my daddy's son.
He was a god and I'm a king.
- Youngster-
- Nigga, you listen to me.
Don't forget who put
you down in this game.
Now your pops has
been going a long time
and it has been me.
So, don't be talking stupid.
Talking stupid.
Wanna know what's stupid?
Old ass mother fuckers like you,
thinking they still run shit.
Yo time been gone uh.
Baby booming ass nigga,
this my day, my way
and my way is making sure
all them mother fuckers
get put in the dirt so
nobody fuck with me again.
And if you got a
problem with that,
I put you in the dirt with 'em.
You know how your pop's my life.
So, I put my word on God
that I would look after you.
But I swear if he saw
your bitch ass right now,
he'd have no problem
pulling your wig.
Say it again.
I said, your dad.
Hold it.
You have mistook me
giving you room to grow
with me being obsolete.
I've been in the game longer
than you've been outta diapers.
So, raise your hand
like that to me again
and this old man's gonna
snap that mother fucker.
I raised it.
Now let me go.
So that's how you
wanna play this, huh?
Ball game, nigga?
You strapped?
Always.
Let's
end this shit.
Oh sh
Fuck!
Ha!
Jesus, please forgive me.
Think about all the
little girls you fucked up
when you asking
God to forgive you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, choke on it.
Choke on it.
You should move so I can leave.
You will not be going
anywhere till the morning
like your father said.
That's fine.
I'll go home tomorrow,
I'll be back.
Back where?
To what?
Huh?
A man that chokes you?
Huh?
What happened to you
that makes you think
that you're worth so little?
Nothing about me is little.
I'm the bottom bitch, so there.
Tiana, you're not a bitch.
You're a queen.
You're strong, you're
beautiful, you smart.
You were top in your class T.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
- I know, I know very well.
- Bullshit.
Your grandpa was a mean drunk.
He loves me.
He raped you, Tiana.
I wanted anything we did.
You were 15.
It wasn't about that at all.
- It was-
- He made you feel seen.
He took you to get your
hair done, your nails done,
told you you were special.
When you first met him,
you told him all about
the life you want,
the house you wanted,
the wedding you want.
Told him that your parents
never told you they
were proud of you.
And he told you he
loved you so much.
He heard you.
He listened.
He lured you.
Then you start to feel like
you can't survive without him.
He started giving you
everything you ever wanted.
Like this is the best
your life has ever been.
And no one's gonna
love you like he has.
Too good to be true.
- Yes.
- And then he starts
to give you the life you want.
Poof, gone.
Dreams, poof, gone.
Now you confused.
You don't know
what you did wrong.
Afraid to piss him off.
Afraid not to get that love
because he's done so
much for you, right?
Yes.
And then he asked
you to do things.
Sex with him and a friend.
Then he takes you to
get your hair done.
Then two friends.
Then he takes you to
get your nails done.
Then sex with a girl.
Then he gives you cash and
tells you how good you are.
Told you your family
didn't love you,
kept you away from tm.
She didn't even text me.
I did.
Did he have the
code of your phone?
Child, he went in there and
he erased those messages.
Made you think that nobody
cared about you except him.
He was conditioning you, child.
And then after that,
I bet you he told you
he has this crazy idea.
You know that life you want,
that house, that wedding,
you can have all that,
big bread stacks.
That's what y'all
call it, right?
Just one thing.
You have to give your body
to men for those stacks.
Just do it for a few months
and no matter what,
he'll love you.
Right?
And then after you were
with someone for him,
he told you?
He was proud of me.
And then he took it away,
made you eager to do it again
so that he was
proud of you again.
He was manipulating you.
And you know what,
it's not her fault.
He took everything she
told him in the beginning
and used it against her
and she ain't even
see it coming.
How do you even
know all of this?
Because I was her.
She,
is me.
For a long time I used to
watch my dad beat my mom.
Not me or my
sisters, but my mom.
So, I left.
And my stranger found
me living in an alley.
He picked me up,
took me in,
got me high.
And ever since then I've
been under the fog of crack
and a pimp that I
thought I loved.
One day he placed
the gun in my mouth,
asked me if I wanted to die.
I just shrugged.
I thought finally this pain,
this life would be over.
But he was chicken
shit and didn't do it.
So, I left and I
never went back.
I've been sober five
years, 255 days.
And every day is a struggle.
But when I think about
the children I've lost,
the years I gave away,
I call my sponsor
because I refuse to go back.
I'm never going back.
So, when I saw y'all
running down the hall,
I knew I had to help.
You are somebody.
You are the best
that God has created.
And no matter what you do,
He will love you.
I told you how
this was gonna end.
Tried to give you an out.
Oh, you must be that nigga.
You say nigga, it's
just like saying I'm
some ordinary cat
there on the street.
I'm a king.
I'm a God.
One of my sheeps went astray.
I think you know where she is.
Her name is Tiana.
And she don't belong to you.
Nah, her name
Crimson and I bought
and paid you for
that bitch cash.
I need you to tell me where
the fuck my property is.
See, I'm gonna just assume
that you ain't got
no fucking kids
because if you did, you
would know the best way
to test your little mortality
is to fuck with
a man's baby girl
because something
happens to a man
when a baby comes
into this world,
when you look into they
eyes for the first time
and in that moment, in the
microseconds, you realize
that you the one,
you the protector
and you supposed to
protect them at all costs
at all times of the day.
No matter if they one,
10, or 50 years old
until I take my last breath
and you, you violated
my baby girl.
So, I guess it's time to see
if you a king or if you a god
or you just a bitch ass
nigga with a nice coat.
Funny.
She told me all about her
mama and what they did to you.
She ain't even yours nigga.
Well you know, any fool
with a dick can make a baby,
but it take a real
man to raise his kids.
This nigga just quote
"Boyz n the Hood."
Nigga, this ain't 1992.
You don't get no second take.
If I kill you, you
don't get no do over.
I need you to think
real carefully about
what you wanna do right now.
What good you gonna
do if you dead?
Who gonna kill me?
The skinny ass nigga with
the drum major coat on?
Who ain't never put in no work?
And you, you a OG.
You got this man running
around here like he a king,
bowing down to him and shit.
He wouldn't last a
minute in New Orleans.
You come down there,
we'll eat you.
So, if this is where I'm
supposed to be scared of,
this is the part where
I'm supposed to be afraid?
I'm not.
You talk some big shit
with your homemade
S.W.A.T uniform on there.
You fittin' to be putting
a pine box, you know that?
You know, I admire you.
It's been a real
long day for you.
You know, King, you want me
to shoot this mother fucker?
Nah, he tough.
I'm gonna show
him what tough is.
You know what I think
y'all failing to realize
is I done walked through y'all
whole little fucking crew
and I'm still standing.
I'm still here.
So, if you want this smoke.
No man.
Take your mother fucking
hands off me, nigga.
Gimme a gun.
This how you gonna play it?
All that woofing over something
that ain't even yours.
Something to die for?
Gonna make her taste your
blood when I fuck her tonight.
Get yo ass up.
Uh-oh.
Uh-huh.
Come on.
What if she's wrong about him?
No baby, she's not.
I'm sorry, mama.
Sorry.
Girl, what are you
doing?
Wishin' you would a
just walked away, huh?
I've got you wishin' you
would've just gave me Tiana.
Come in here judging me,
thinking you know me and shit.
I know you fuck up little girls.
And for what?
Some money?
When you learn to love how
you were loved, my nigga.
Let's go.
I got shit to do.
Yeah, let's do it.
Right here.
Fuck, stop!
Baby, I'm here.
I'm here, baby.
- I'm here.
- Uh-uh, uh-uh.
I'm here, please.
- Please, please.
- Shut the fuck up!
Relax bitch, I'm almost done.
- No, please.
- No, no, no.
Kill this mother fucker.
You are the son of a God.
You wanna be king?
If you want the crown, you
have to kill for it yourself.
Okay.
Listen, I came for one
thing and one thing only
and she's standing right there.
And I'm sorry for
whatever happened to you
that made you the
way that you are.
But I'm just trying to
protect my little girl.
She ain't even
fucking yours, nigga.
Yes she is.
No matter what.
No matter what some
test say, right?
Daddy, daddy.
Daddy!
Daddy, no!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Fucking coward.
Lex, Lex, Lex, Lex, Lex.
Thank God I let you
feel all that pain
before you stop breathin'.
Yeah.
You mother fuckers.
Oh man, I told you
mother fuckers, man.
My crown.
My house.
Yeah.
My mother fucking world, man.
Long live king fucking David.
Crimson.
Bitch, bring yo ass here.
Tiara, don't go.
He loves me.
No he doesn't.
I ain't gonna tell
you no fucking mo.
He really loves
me.
- I'm sorry daddy.
- It's okay.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
We did it.
We did it, right?
We did it.
Yes, we did it.
Yes, we did it.
I told you.
I told you I'd die
before I'd let her go.
No, no, no, no,
you're not dying.
You're okay.
I'm scared, I'm scared Lex.
Not actually leaking, no.
Oh, oh I'm scared.
Carry him!
You heard me, this is my daddy.
He won't die here
like this, carry him!
Carry him.
I'm sorry daddy.
Your old man fought
for love like that.
It's God kills with respect or
I'm tripping
off this shit, right,
because like how you
see "Boyzs n the Hood"
and not "Menace II Society?"
Like how does that
kinda shit even happen?
I mean she is only 15.
Shit, I'm surprised
she even seen that one.
I'm not,
and you know what?
We need to watch it as
soon as she get home.
All as a family.
I mean if you watched one,
definitely watch the other one.
No, what do we really remember
about "Boys n the Hood?"
Let's recollect, shall we?
"Ricky!"
That's what you remember.
Him getting shot in the back
because he ran in
the straight line.
Everybody know you
supposed to zigzag.
You got to bob and weave, Ricky.
There are plenty
of quotable lines.
Alright, well quote me one.
- You ready?
- Yep.
"Any fool with a dick
could make a baby,
but only a real man could
raise his children."
Womp.
That sounded like a
deep ass Instagram video.
That's the sermon.
See, that shit got way too deep.
I'm talking about like the
one-liners, like the zingers.
The nobody ever
gonna forget this.
- Okay then, Mr. Zinger.
- Mm-hm.
Gimme that quota with
"Menace II Society."
Oh, I thought you'd never asked.
No, what do you say though?
What the fuck you mean
you ain't got my
mother fucking money?
"You need to be coming
up on my cash or else."
Right?
Or, "I feel sorry
for your mother."
What you say about my mama?"
Remember when he hit
the hood and was like,
"I got the tape."
That shit was crazy.
No, no, no, no, no.
This the one though.
The big one-liner.
"You know you fucked up, right?
You know you up."
Exactly.
You gotta work on
the one-liners, babe.
You gotta work on them shits.
See if we do that
in public, you know.
- If I do that in New Orleans.
- The hood, time out.
Time out.
You don't say New Orleans.
No, no, I got you, I got you.
It's New Orleans.
It got the ah, ah,
ah, New Orleans.
- New Orleans.
- It's New Orleans.
- Orleans.
- Orleans.
You think she gonna
be excited to see us?
I hope so, but you
know them teenagers
be a little feisty
sometimes, so you never know.
I remember the first
time I seen her.
I was so scared.
I mean, when she came eight
weeks early, she was so small,
couldn't even open up her eyes.
I didn't think she
was gonna make it.
I kind of fought
myself for, you know,
feeling like I brung her
in this world too early.
Like she wasn't really ready.
Are you crazy?
No, you the reason that our baby
got a fighting
chance in this world.
You doing a great fucking job.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I hope so.
Wait, that's it?
It's the address she gave.
How you even know
that's the real address?
I mean it would wanna be.
It's gonna be bad
for him if it ain't.
It would wanna be
the right address.
Hey, set your ass up.
Come on, man, sit your ass up.
Mother fucker.
I ain't got shit to say.
You dead already.
I'm just fittin' to
watch you bleed out.
Look, you already told
us about this place.
You might as well keep talking.
I ain't got shit for
you but a coffin.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't, don't kill him.
Don't kill him yet.
What the
fuck is so funny?
Y'all, you stupid.
That's what I'm talking about.
"Boyz n the Hood,"
"Menace II Society,"
you should be talking
about "The Mack."
Give a better sense of what
you're going up against.
You need to shut the fuck up
before I let her
beat your ass again.
I'm saying that what is she, 19?
Fuck, she built like
a grown ass woman.
Watch your fucking mouth.
- Bitch, I'm trying to-
- Don't fucking talk
to my woman like
that, mother fucker.
Okay, don't listen to me.
Go ahead see what
that'll get you.
We trying to listen to you,
but you gotta have
some fucking respect.
I trying to do my one
good deed this year
and save your lives.
But the two of y'all are
caught up in your feelings.
Fuck you.
You think you can
fuck with the gang?
First off, soon as
he knows you're here,
he's giving her a hot shot.
What is the a shot?
Oh.
So maybe you're not such
a square after all, huh?
You was the game a bit?
What the fuck is a hot shot?
Ask him.
What is a hot shot?
It's heroin.
It's enough to kill her.
Second, assuming you
actually find her,
you ain't never gonna
get outta here alive.
We got people everywhere.
We got your ass didn't we?
We can get him too.
Did you?
Get me?
Or are you where I want you?
Man, fuck you.
You mother fuckers listen!
Her mind is gone.
She's in love.
She's working for him so
she can build a house,
get minks, diamonds,
be his queen.
Then if she's really
on that heroin,
shit, she's really gone.
But do what you do.
I'm gonna watch you
bleed out like I said.
Okay.
You gonna have to watch
with your mouth closed.
Fuck you.
Lay your fucking ass back down.
I got no problem fucking you up.
Let's do this.
Only use this if you need to.
Man who the fuck is
you and why in the hell
is you knocking on
my door this early
in the goddamn morning?
I'm looking for somebody.
You think you can help me?
Problem is everybody
looking for somebody.
This says security not 411.
Look, they got a man here
and I think he's running girls
and I think he has my daughter.
Can you help me out?
This like a whore house to you?
I got 220 units
and while I might not
know what everybody doing
up in these spots, it
sure ain't no pimping
going around here.
You can believe that.
So you don't know King David?
What'd you say that name for?
Man, get the fuck off my yard.
Nah, fuck that.
He got my baby girl.
Get y'all
simple asses in here.
The fuck you looking
so scared for?
Ah, 'cause y'all come
in here dressed like that,
point a gun at me,
talking about King David.
Shit, he ain't one to fuck with.
Well see, here's the thing.
He fighting for what
he think he want.
I'm fighting for what
I know I can't lose.
You understand that?
Look man, your kid ain't here.
The king ain't here.
Ain't nothing here but trouble
and you about to fuck
around and find out.
Now get the fuck outta here
before I call the folks.
What if he was
lying and she not even here?
- We back to luck.
- Something's off.
This mother fucker,
he ain't nothin' but a drunk.
No, something else.
Look, we could
either go back home,
we could just start over.
Or we could just start knocking
on some of these fucking doors.
Watch out bae.
- You fucked up?
- What's up nigga?
What the is wrong with you?
You want me to shoot
you in the fucking face?
Go ahead, shoot.
Because as soon as you do,
everybody gonna hear
you and we both dead.
Get your bitch ass then.
Let's do this mother fucker.
Want some more of that?
Babe, don't shoot him.
Fuck you mother fucker.
Fuck!
What's the plan?
He was all we fucking
need, we fucked.
No, we gonna figure this off.
Okay, I fucked that
dude up and I got us here,
but I just killed a man.
You remember what happened
last time I killed a man?
This is not the last time.
This was a mistake.
No, mistake was us
going to the police.
Mistake was us
going to the church.
Mistake was us not figuring out
what was going on with Tiana.
This was not no fucking mistake.
What are we supposed to do?
Huh?
Man, there's 220 doors, she
gotta be behind one of these.
The question is, which one?
Here for my three 3:30.
- Answer it.
- No!
If you don't answer it,
they're gonna think
that somethings wrong.
Here for my 3:30.
- It is wrong.
- You're a man.
So, you're a woman,
they gonna trust you.
You cuter than me.
Hello, Tyrone?
- Say something, say coming.
- Coming.
Tyrone.
Hey.
I'm here now.
Better take that ring off.
Hey there.
Tyrone had an emergency
so I'm just looking over
things until he gets back.
That's all right,
you are an upgrade.
Thank you, cool,
be back in an hour?
Oh no, no, I can't.
I got an appointment
at eight o'clock.
Okay, I need time to clean
up, shower after, you know.
Um, sorry, no.
Look, just check the ledger.
Okay, tell me which
room's free, okay?
The ledger.
Oh, the ledger.
Yeah, he told me all about that,
but he told me not to touch
anything until he gets back.
Listen, I come
here twice a week.
I don't think the boss
wants to lose my business
'cause some broad don't
wanna off her pimp,
even if she does look good.
Now go check the ledger.
Come on.
Let him in, let him in.
You know what?
How 'bout you come look
over that ledger yourself.
All right.
Look, I'm not
looking for trouble.
- I just-
- You just came to fuck.
I know.
But let me ask you something.
Before you pull your fucking
dick out, do you ever step back
to ask yourself if this
young girl who you loving on
might have a mom and a dad
who like might come
looking for her?
Or is she just fucking
doped up and outta her mind?
Or are you just trying to see
how quick you can get a nut?
Don't start fucking crying.
Sorry.
Maybe you could think
better without this.
This nigga pissin' on hisself?
Man, watch out, man.
Sit the fuck down.
You gonna kill me?
You can't kill me, I got
kids, a wife, they need me.
Mother fucker, if you tell
me one of your kids is a girl,
I'm gonna bust a
cap in your ass.
Do you need me to clean
the fucking wax
outta of your ears?
Okay, okay, okay, look, I
have a little daughter, nine.
I've been married for 15 years.
Okay, my wife stopped
having sex with me
and I work 60 hours a week.
And the kids, they have
things to do four days a week.
I love them.
I'm there.
I show up for everything.
I provide.
I'm present.
And when I found this place,
it was just no questions.
I mean, I just show up,
they put me on the ledger
and I go to a room
and it's done.
- And-
- Stop, stop.
Go back.
To what part?
The part about the ledger.
And they look at the ledger
and they see who's available,
they write my name down
and based on how much
I pay, I get a gold,
silver, or a bronze card.
I take the card up to the
room, give it to the girl
- and then have fun.
- Fun?
I, you know, I complete the
transaction and that's it.
I think they give the card
and that's how they get paid.
So, what's this
ledger look like?
It's an account ledger.
It's over there.
So where's the line?
I got the numbers
and the initials,
but I don't see a TC anywhere.
Come on, man, they
wouldn't use real names.
Can I see?
Oh, yours is for today.
The times are the
logs of the visits.
Shit, a couple girls
are busy right now.
They got these girls turning
tricks every two hours.
Better hope your dick
don't fall off, buddy.
Hey!
- What the fuck, man?
- Please, please,
don't kill me, man.
Okay?
Bro, if I wanna kill you, I
Fuck you.
Fuck.
Stupid, why would you do this?
You could've just went home.
You could've just went home.
Hey, hey, you gonna
be all right, okay?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Fuck!
Uh!
Fuck.
- Oh my God, fuck!
- It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I know you pushed us to do this,
but it's my job to make sure
you and Tiana get
outta here safe.
You understand?
So, y'all will leave
even if I'm not with you.
Malik, I'm not going
nowhere without you.
Um Lex, I'm not bullshitting.
You get out with baby,
you put her in that car, and
y'all get the fuck outta here.
You understand what
I'm saying to you?
I need to know that you hear me.
I hear you.
All right?
Okay?
We gotta move fast.
Gotta move fast.
How the hell we
supposed to find 310?
Yeah, 'cause this
shit don't even show.
They got ones on
the top, the bottom.
This shit's dumb.
Shit don't make no sense.
These are the hundreds.
Let's check over
there for the twos.
Yo, who is it?
It's Terry.
Tyrone sent me up.
Terry ain't
working till tomorrow.
I always get their
names mixed up, bro.
I don't know them.
They just put my
name on the list
and they told me to come up.
They gave me this gold card.
Come tell me to do my thing.
Hello?
You know, I'm just gonna
go ahead and go, man,
it's making me a
little nervous, man.
It's feeling like a setup.
I'm gonna go.
What kind of
card you say you got?
It's a gold card.
See, look at that.
It's all gold.
You ready for whatever
we about to see
on the other side of this door?
Nope.
That still ain't gonna stop us.
- Keep it cool.
- Who the fuck are you?
Just fucking keep it cool.
Get off a me!
Ah!
Oh fuck!
Fuck!
Lex!
Lex.
Don't!
Don't touch it.
What, lemme check where it's at.
Lemme check where
the blood's at.
He stabbed me.
He stabbed me.
I gotta see where you hurt.
Oh fuck, fuck!
- Lemme see.
- Ah!

- Oh fuck, oh fuck.
Oh my fucking God.

Wait, wait, what you doing?
Just put this in your mouth.
One, two.
Oh fuck!
Fuck!
Hey, hurry up!
- What the fuck?
- Okay, you're gonna be fine.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- What?
Make this bitch yell.
Hold on.
- I'm sorry.
- What was that?
I said I was sorry, King.
I was just.
Fucking up my inspiration?
- No.
- Hm?
You know how hard
it is to get there?
Where the breast disappears
and you become one
with the canvas?
You just fucked that
up.
You got one thing to do
and that's to be fucking still.
Is this about you
and these earrings?
I asked you to do one thing
and that's just to be still
for me and you can't do it.
I'm sorry.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let me clean you up.
All right?
Look at me.
Resume your pose.
Ready.
King gonna fuck y'all up.
Listen, we not here to judge you
or anything else.
To be honest, we ain't even mean
for none of this shit to happen.
But what we really need
is to find our daughter
and I feel like you
could really help us.
Don't you think if she wanted
to be found, you
wouldn't be asking me?
No, we think that you
don't know what to think
because you got that shit
running through your veins.
Fuck you!
If I scream right now,
y'all both fucked.
Oh yeah, so why didn't you?
Because you fucked up my night
and I'm gonna give you an
opportunity to make it right.
That sounds like a great idea.
How would you like
us to make it right?
I think you cost me about 1,500.
Go ahead and cashapp me that
and I'll let y'all leave
before I start screaming.
Malik.
How 'bout this idea?
How about...
How about you help
us find our daughter
and we help you leave
this place free?
We walk right out
this door, right now.
Go live your life.
Don't that sound
like a better idea?
I'm fine right here.
Wow.
Hold on.
How I know you even know her?
You don't.
But if she's here, I'll know.
Don't take many
pictures of her, huh?
Just be a little busy.
Mother of the fucking year.
Ah.
Gracias.
You.
- It's you.
- You know her?
No, I know you and I know
everything you did to her.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
You're sick.
I did nothing but love her.
Well then fuck your love.
I ain't telling you shit!
You open up your mouth for
all them little dicks you take,
but you ain't gonna
open up your mouth
to tell us where Tiana is?
She don't go by that no more.
And I can open my
mouth just fine, watch.
Gimme your piece now.
Ah, ah.

- No.
You need to go home.
Yo, King.
Security breach.
Handle it discretely.
Hey.
Oh, you know how to get
served but not protect.
You might wanna reconsider
where you're aiming that thing.
Back up.
Back up, I will shoot you
in your fucking chest.
You should.
I'm just looking

But you won't.
Ah, babe, don't shoot him.
He's a cop, he's a cop.
He's a cop.
You gonna drop that
thing, little girl,
or we gonna skip to the part
where I make you regret pulling

Get that shit outta my face.

but as soon as they quiet down,
you can find your way out.
Tiana.
Tiana can you hear me?
Tiana?
- Baby, look at me.
- Can you hear me?
Tiana, hey.
Look at her neck.
- Hey, hey!
- Move!
Tiana, wake up.

He didn't do what?
He didn't do what, Malik?
Y'all need to hush.

He gave her the hot shot.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on, I know

Okay, okay, she gonna be fine.
Her airway's clear.

We got T, we could

Nah, fuck that.
Malik, we need you.
We can't do this without you.
We in this together.
Come on, sit down.
My name's Aretha.
Everybody calls me Rere.
Malik.
That's Alexis.
That's Tiana.
Mm-hm, I seen her around.
So you knew?
Your little girl?
Just keep this on it.
Where'd they go?
All right. I've done
my good deed for the day.
Soon as she wakes up, y'all can
find your way up outta here.
Thank you.
Go on now with all that,
just can't stand
to see nobody hurt.
Always been my problem.
Oh, see?
Sleeping Beauty's ready to go.
King?
No, Tiana, it's daddy, you safe.
No, no, no, no, no.
Sh.
Baby we got you.
Where's King?
He's gonna kill me?
No wait, nobody's gonna
do anything to you baby.
- Daddy got you.
- I didn't ask
- you to come here.
- Tiana, we're not
gonna wait for you to
start drowning to dive in.
Okay?
Why would
you do this to me?
Do what, Tiana, we
are here to help you.
We just wanna bring
you home, baby girl.
Help?
Home?
I didn't ask for your help.
I hate that you had me.
I wish you all were dead.
Tiana, you don't
mean that, okay?
I do.
I mean every word.
I'm leaving.
You not going nowhere.
Sit yo ass down.
Get the fuck away
from me, bitch.
- Sit the fuck down.
- Hey!
Hey ma'am, ma'am,
ma'am, ma'am, please.
I don't see what
she been through.
You don't disrespect
your parents in my house.
First of all, this little
shitty place is not a house.
I'd be careful throwing
the parent word out.
That's enough, Tiana,
with your little spoiled.
- Shut.
- Ungrate.
Ooh?
Sit the fuck down!
Sit the fuck down@.
Lex, calm down.
We risk our lives
trying to save her
and she act like
we did her wrong?
What about that pimp
that fucked you?
Forced you to fuck for money,
gave your body to,
your essence to?
Grown ass men who don't
fucking deserve it.
And you in our face
like we fucked up?
Fuck you and your
fake riteousness.
Fuck you!
- I hate you.
- And I hate you too.
You little tramp.
Both of y'all shut the fuck up.
Enough of this.
Okay, stop hitting her.
And you, you are a child.
Why are you acting like your
life is just so terrible?
Like we don't love you.
But would you love
me knowing it all?
Tiana, what are
you talking about?
Knowing all of what, love?
Stop being stupid, Tiana.
What if I've been lying?
Every time I called you daddy?
What is she talking about, Lex?
What is she talking about?
Little tramp, huh?
Maybe the apple
never left the tree.
Listen, listen to me.
You can be mad.
You can be mad at us.
You can be mad at me.
But you don't have to say things
to intentionally try to hurt me.
Okay?
You're taking it too far.
If it's true, it's true.
She didn't deny it, did she?
So, you not gonna deny it?
Oh shit.
This ain't the fucking
time to be quiet, Alexis.
Say something.
What the fuck is happening?
You want me to come?
Tell the truth?
Alexis!
You're the only
fucking father she knows!
When you were getting locked up,
I went out, I got drunk before
the weekend of your trial.
- And, and-
- And what?
And I met some guy
and I met some guy.
And he offered to help
and he took me home.
You fucked him?
And you knew this whole time?
He took advantage of me!
And then you took
advantage of me!
What the, man?
How did she know before I did?
He found us.
He told her
it's not her fault.
I made her swear
not to tell you.
She didn't even accept him.
You're the only father
she knows and loves.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Malik, please.
We can talk about this.
Please Malik, let's
talk about it.
Don't do this, please.
Let's just go home.
Can you keep 'em here
till the morning?
Just 'til the sun
comes up, please.
Go ahead.
Love you.
No Malik, not like this.
I remember the
first time I seen you.
But, would you
love me knowing it all?
What if I've been lying every
time I called you daddy?
You're the only
fucking father she knows!
Fuck!
You jerk!
Then why'd he leave me?
I was four, I had nobody.
You had me.
I had me.
Only me, yu were never there.
Tiana, you wanted to eat,
I had to provide the food.
You wanted lights, I had
to pay the utilities.
You wanted Jordans on your feet.
Shit, I had to be like
Mike and I had to work.
I did everything I
could do for you.
And when I was
pregnant I didn't work.
- But when your father-
- Malik.
He's not my dad.
When your father,
Malik, got arrested
and that judge told me that
he was gonna do 10 years,
I panicked in that courtroom.
I fell to the ground and
Malik tried to help me,
but they dragged
him away screaming.
Mom, you were never there.
Ever.
I didn't know how
to be a mom alone.
Told me he was gone for work
and then vacation and then work.
I was four, not stupid.
And all I felt was
that he hated me.
That he didn't love me,
that I wasn't good enough.
You know what, I
didn't have the love
a girl should have him her
dad, but I don't need that now.
King has my heart and
he's taking care of it.
Is that the
love you're talking
about dripping down your arm?
Thousand to one you
ain't do that yourself.
Man, we gotta get you
outta here young blood.
What the fuck
happened to your face?
Man, don't worry about my face.
We gotta get you outta here.
Fuck that.
I'm working on
whoever did this shit.
No man, you should be
up in Julliard somewhere.
And I told you this place
is bad for business,
but you don't listen.
Let me get you up
outta this shit.
Get you straight.
Get me straight.
Nigga, I'm my daddy's son.
He was a god and I'm a king.
- Youngster-
- Nigga, you listen to me.
Don't forget who put
you down in this game.
Now your pops has
been going a long time
and it has been me.
So, don't be talking stupid.
Talking stupid.
Wanna know what's stupid?
Old ass mother fuckers like you,
thinking they still run shit.
Yo time been gone uh.
Baby booming ass nigga,
this my day, my way
and my way is making sure
all them mother fuckers
get put in the dirt so
nobody fuck with me again.
And if you got a
problem with that,
I put you in the dirt with 'em.
You know how your pop's my life.
So, I put my word on God
that I would look after you.
But I swear if he saw
your bitch ass right now,
he'd have no problem
pulling your wig.
Say it again.
I said, your dad.
Hold it.
You have mistook me
giving you room to grow
with me being obsolete.
I've been in the game longer
than you've been outta diapers.
So, raise your hand
like that to me again
and this old man's gonna
snap that mother fucker.
I raised it.
Now let me go.
So that's how you
wanna play this, huh?
Ball game, nigga?
You strapped?
Always.
Let's
end this shit.
Oh sh
Fuck!
Ha!
Jesus, please forgive me.
Think about all the
little girls you fucked up
when you asking
God to forgive you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, choke on it.
Choke on it.
You should move so I can leave.
You will not be going
anywhere till the morning
like your father said.
That's fine.
I'll go home tomorrow,
I'll be back.
Back where?
To what?
Huh?
A man that chokes you?
Huh?
What happened to you
that makes you think
that you're worth so little?
Nothing about me is little.
I'm the bottom bitch, so there.
Tiana, you're not a bitch.
You're a queen.
You're strong, you're
beautiful, you smart.
You were top in your class T.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
- I know, I know very well.
- Bullshit.
Your grandpa was a mean drunk.
He loves me.
He raped you, Tiana.
I wanted anything we did.
You were 15.
It wasn't about that at all.
- It was-
- He made you feel seen.
He took you to get your
hair done, your nails done,
told you you were special.
When you first met him,
you told him all about
the life you want,
the house you wanted,
the wedding you want.
Told him that your parents
never told you they
were proud of you.
And he told you he
loved you so much.
He heard you.
He listened.
He lured you.
Then you start to feel like
you can't survive without him.
He started giving you
everything you ever wanted.
Like this is the best
your life has ever been.
And no one's gonna
love you like he has.
Too good to be true.
- Yes.
- And then he starts
to give you the life you want.
Poof, gone.
Dreams, poof, gone.
Now you confused.
You don't know
what you did wrong.
Afraid to piss him off.
Afraid not to get that love
because he's done so
much for you, right?
Yes.
And then he asked
you to do things.
Sex with him and a friend.
Then he takes you to
get your hair done.
Then two friends.
Then he takes you to
get your nails done.
Then sex with a girl.
Then he gives you cash and
tells you how good you are.
Told you your family
didn't love you,
kept you away from tm.
She didn't even text me.
I did.
Did he have the
code of your phone?
Child, he went in there and
he erased those messages.
Made you think that nobody
cared about you except him.
He was conditioning you, child.
And then after that,
I bet you he told you
he has this crazy idea.
You know that life you want,
that house, that wedding,
you can have all that,
big bread stacks.
That's what y'all
call it, right?
Just one thing.
You have to give your body
to men for those stacks.
Just do it for a few months
and no matter what,
he'll love you.
Right?
And then after you were
with someone for him,
he told you?
He was proud of me.
And then he took it away,
made you eager to do it again
so that he was
proud of you again.
He was manipulating you.
And you know what,
it's not her fault.
He took everything she
told him in the beginning
and used it against her
and she ain't even
see it coming.
How do you even
know all of this?
Because I was her.
She,
is me.
For a long time I used to
watch my dad beat my mom.
Not me or my
sisters, but my mom.
So, I left.
And my stranger found
me living in an alley.
He picked me up,
took me in,
got me high.
And ever since then I've
been under the fog of crack
and a pimp that I
thought I loved.
One day he placed
the gun in my mouth,
asked me if I wanted to die.
I just shrugged.
I thought finally this pain,
this life would be over.
But he was chicken
shit and didn't do it.
So, I left and I
never went back.
I've been sober five
years, 255 days.
And every day is a struggle.
But when I think about
the children I've lost,
the years I gave away,
I call my sponsor
because I refuse to go back.
I'm never going back.
So, when I saw y'all
running down the hall,
I knew I had to help.
You are somebody.
You are the best
that God has created.
And no matter what you do,
He will love you.
I told you how
this was gonna end.
Tried to give you an out.
Oh, you must be that nigga.
You say nigga, it's
just like saying I'm
some ordinary cat
there on the street.
I'm a king.
I'm a God.
One of my sheeps went astray.
I think you know where she is.
Her name is Tiana.
And she don't belong to you.
Nah, her name
Crimson and I bought
and paid you for
that bitch cash.
I need you to tell me where
the fuck my property is.
See, I'm gonna just assume
that you ain't got
no fucking kids
because if you did, you
would know the best way
to test your little mortality
is to fuck with
a man's baby girl
because something
happens to a man
when a baby comes
into this world,
when you look into they
eyes for the first time
and in that moment, in the
microseconds, you realize
that you the one,
you the protector
and you supposed to
protect them at all costs
at all times of the day.
No matter if they one,
10, or 50 years old
until I take my last breath
and you, you violated
my baby girl.
So, I guess it's time to see
if you a king or if you a god
or you just a bitch ass
nigga with a nice coat.
Funny.
She told me all about her
mama and what they did to you.
She ain't even yours nigga.
Well you know, any fool
with a dick can make a baby,
but it take a real
man to raise his kids.
This nigga just quote
"Boyz n the Hood."
Nigga, this ain't 1992.
You don't get no second take.
If I kill you, you
don't get no do over.
I need you to think
real carefully about
what you wanna do right now.
What good you gonna
do if you dead?
Who gonna kill me?
The skinny ass nigga with
the drum major coat on?
Who ain't never put in no work?
And you, you a OG.
You got this man running
around here like he a king,
bowing down to him and shit.
He wouldn't last a
minute in New Orleans.
You come down there,
we'll eat you.
So, if this is where I'm
supposed to be scared of,
this is the part where
I'm supposed to be afraid?
I'm not.
You talk some big shit
with your homemade
S.W.A.T uniform on there.
You fittin' to be putting
a pine box, you know that?
You know, I admire you.
It's been a real
long day for you.
You know, King, you want me
to shoot this mother fucker?
Nah, he tough.
I'm gonna show
him what tough is.
You know what I think
y'all failing to realize
is I done walked through y'all
whole little fucking crew
and I'm still standing.
I'm still here.
So, if you want this smoke.
No man.
Take your mother fucking
hands off me, nigga.
Gimme a gun.
This how you gonna play it?
All that woofing over something
that ain't even yours.
Something to die for?
Gonna make her taste your
blood when I fuck her tonight.
Get yo ass up.
Uh-oh.
Uh-huh.
Come on.
What if she's wrong about him?
No baby, she's not.
I'm sorry, mama.
Sorry.
Girl, what are you
doing?
Wishin' you would a
just walked away, huh?
I've got you wishin' you
would've just gave me Tiana.
Come in here judging me,
thinking you know me and shit.
I know you fuck up little girls.
And for what?
Some money?
When you learn to love how
you were loved, my nigga.
Let's go.
I got shit to do.
Yeah, let's do it.
Right here.
Fuck, stop!
Baby, I'm here.
I'm here, baby.
- I'm here.
- Uh-uh, uh-uh.
I'm here, please.
- Please, please.
- Shut the fuck up!
Relax bitch, I'm almost done.
- No, please.
- No, no, no.
Kill this mother fucker.
You are the son of a God.
You wanna be king?
If you want the crown, you
have to kill for it yourself.
Okay.
Listen, I came for one
thing and one thing only
and she's standing right there.
And I'm sorry for
whatever happened to you
that made you the
way that you are.
But I'm just trying to
protect my little girl.
She ain't even
fucking yours, nigga.
Yes she is.
No matter what.
No matter what some
test say, right?
Daddy, daddy.
Daddy!
Daddy, no!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Fucking coward.
Lex, Lex, Lex, Lex, Lex.
Thank God I let you
feel all that pain
before you stop breathin'.
Yeah.
You mother fuckers.
Oh man, I told you
mother fuckers, man.
My crown.
My house.
Yeah.
My mother fucking world, man.
Long live king fucking David.
Crimson.
Bitch, bring yo ass here.
Tiara, don't go.
He loves me.
No he doesn't.
I ain't gonna tell
you no fucking mo.
He really loves
me.
- I'm sorry daddy.
- It's okay.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
We did it.
We did it, right?
We did it.
Yes, we did it.
Yes, we did it.
I told you.
I told you I'd die
before I'd let her go.
No, no, no, no,
you're not dying.
You're okay.
I'm scared, I'm scared Lex.
Not actually leaking, no.
Oh, oh I'm scared.
Carry him!
You heard me, this is my daddy.
He won't die here
like this, carry him!
