(Movie Projector)
(people chattering)
(buzzer buzzing)
(chains clanging)
(mellow music)
Look at you, there she go!
(Shelly screams)
You look good, girl.
What's up?
(Flame speaks indistinctly)
You too.
-Damn sexy girl, come on.
-Let's get up outta here.
Come on. Let's go.
(Flame speaks indistinctly)
(tractor engine rumbling)
(mellow music)
(car doors thud)
(upbeat music)
Goddamn. You did not tell
me you was pushing like this.
(Shelly laughs)
Man.
(calm music)
I can think real good in this.
I'm proud of you, girl.
You like it?
I love it. Damn.
You still got my gun?
I sure do.
I took real good care of her for you.
Never left home without it.
(mellow music)
Yeah, that's right. I'm back. (chuckles)
So look, baby,
I'm gonna give these
motherfucking streets hell.
A nigga been gone way too long.
It's time for all these niggas to pay.
You're damn right.
So, what's the plan?
The plan is simple,
pick up where I left off.
I want you to get some work
and put it out there in the streets.
You still got my money stashed?
Of course, I do.
You know only a real bitch
can flip 40Gs into a 100K.
You see that's why I love your ass
'cause you always do what I tell you.
(Shelly speaks indistinctly)
All you gotta do now
is tell all them niggas you was talking to
to stop calling you.
Daddy home now, baby.
Whatever, crazy man.
I wasn't talking to no niggas.
What are you talking about?
Tell that shit to another nigga.
I was gone 15 years, baby. I ain't stupid.
(Shelly sighs)
Anyway, a nigga starving.
Hook us up with some food.
Oh, I got something
for you to eat, smokey.
Oh, is that right?
I hear you talking. I hear you.
I don't wanna hear no
excuses later either.
No tapping out.
(indistinct) I'm ready. (laughs)
Lemme go ahead and fix myself a drink.
You do that. Mm-hmm.
Mm-mm.
We are back, honey.
I'm glad you got me up
outta that place, man.
I'm ready to get the hell
up out these clothes too.
You see your outfit
I got in there for you?
What?
Laid out on the bed?
Ain't it fly?
Damn. Look at you.
Baby, you always got my back. (chuckles)
But look, I'm gonna go clean myself up
then I need you to take
me up to the 1st Ward
so I can holler at that nigga Dino.
Okay, baby.
It's whatever, whenever, wherever.
(people chattering)
(phone buzzing)
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. What
do I owe you the pleasure?
[Jimmy] Me. Are you surprised?
(chuckles) Maybe. But I know you.
You've always got
something up your sleeve,
so what do I owe the phone call?
And don't say my beauty.
[Jimmy] This gift
will bring in new votes
to keep you in office.
What is that may I ask?
[Jimmy] Football.
(scoffs) Football?
Football is gonna help me get new votes
and football is gonna
help keep me in office?
[Jimmy] Yes, football.
Into this beautiful city, no
more just college football
but professional football.
Professional football.
[Jimmy] Yes, and a stadium.
One of my billionaire associates
just gave me the green light.
The league has agreed with it.
New money, jobs, thriving new citizens.
We can change the whole outlook
and infrastructure of this city.
Taking this up to the
governor should not be hard
once you're onboard.
Only thing I ask for is a prime location.
You're serious. Prime locations?
Jimmy, I know you.
[Jimmy] Have you ever
heard the phrase red line?
I know it quite well.
A slew of my voters are
totally against that.
This city bleeds blue.
The perfect location for this
stadium is on Fifth Street,
right where downtown ends
and starts to invade into the 1st Ward,
which is the historical downtown
neighborhood of Oakcrest.
The location will be
where Boulevard Home sits.
We need Boulevard Homes and
Oak Dwellings demolished,
basically revamping the whole 1st Ward.
That's what this is about, 1st Ward.
Jimmy, you're asking some tough questions
and we're gonna get some
major pushback for this.
[Jimmy] I'm sure we will.
But if we can make it happen,
we both can be very wealthy
out off this, Tasha.
You can help bring in a
plethora of new voters
and taxpayers that will
swing in your favor.
Okay. So what's the time frame of this?
You do know that elections
are right around the corner.
[Jimmy] In three to five years,
everything should be completed
so we need to move fast.
We need to build new
houses, stores, night clubs,
and turn Oakcrest into a
lovely shopping district.
Change the name to City View Heights.
It sounds good, but-
[Jimmy] The neighborhood
will be completely different
with a different vision.
I need you to come up with
an answer in two weeks.
-So what about the people?
-What about the people, Jimmy?
They're going to have questions
that I'm gonna have to have answers to.
This will displace thousands of families.
We are creating better
and new improved housing for the people
plus more than half of the
neighborhood is vacant.
What if a new group of
20,000 tax paying citizens
move into Oakcrest neighborhood,
revamping Sun City?
Do you know how much money
that'll bring into the city?
You will be a hero. Look
what I did to Uptown.
Now it's The Nod with
tax paying residents.
Oakcrest is in a better location,
being so much closer to Downtown,
unlike The Nod which is more north.
I have to think about it.
I have to make sure that this
doesn't backfire on me too.
It can cause me to lose the election.
[Jimmy] Think about it,
Tasha and get back to me.
Two weeks.
Yeah, I'll call you
and if I decide to do
this, you owe me big time.
(phone beeping)
(calm music)
Uh-huh.
Okay, that sounds good.
(knuckles tapping)
(calm music)
All right. (indistinct)
(chuckles) Thank you.
(phone thuds)
Woo, I'm a beast.
[Vanessa] What?
You know your little sister
just closing that contract, right?
You closed them?
Yes.
Oh my god. Congrats.
(both speak indistinctly)
Yes.
Okay.
We have to get matching
Louie bags on me.
(Vanessa laughs)
[Vanessa] But you know ain't
nothing like a free Louie.
Can we get the shoes to match?
Right. Now I see how
my husband used to feel.
All these years of hard
work is finally paying off.
I'm so happy for you.
I know you miss him.
I do.
It's been a minute but
six years, (indistinct)
You know what you need to do, right?
What?
You need to start dating.
(laughs) First of all, the
dating pool has pee in it.
Second of all, girl,
all these young niggas
want is lay and play.
I don't got time for that.
Besides when you've had a
standup dude like Martin,
you're just not about to
settle for anything out here.
So you know you're not
getting any younger, right?
And your stuff is about to dry up.
Whatever.
You know I'm picky, unlike you.
Don't do me, okay?
My man is the pick of the litter.
Carlos is a great man.
He's just a little rough around the edges.
Yep, even though that's
why daddy didn't like him.
He still can't stand his ass to this day.
You know what?
He really liked that Detective Danny guy.
Oh, don't get me started on that.
(Alice laughs)
Oh my God. No.
Whatever.
Okay listen, we need to look
at these Oakcrest projections.
Speaking of which, the girl over there,
she is not working out.
Between her coming late and
then always leaving early
to go and get her kids.
Girl, we might have to just
close the location down.
Close?
No, I think I'll just
give it another month
and start looking for a new manager.
(calm music)
Girl, besides that,
you know it has been
robbed a couple of times.
So, the Oaks is just too ghetto.
Besides, Carlos knows a guy
that's interested in making you an offer.
No, that's not gonna work for me.
We'll just give her another
month, I'll find a new manager.
It'll be fine.
Okay. Don't say I didn't tell you so.
I got you.
Okay.
What you doing tonight?
Netflix and chill by myself. (laughs)
No.
So why don't you come to my house
for my nephew's, Muckmud
coming home party.
We start at 6:00. (indistinct)
Really? You have (indistinct)
Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay.
6:00?
[Vanessa] Yes, 6:00.
-[Alice] It's a date.
-It's a date.
Yes girl, I need to let my hair down,
celebrate, you know?
Yes. Okay, I'll see you at 6:00, babe.
I'll see you at 6:00. Give me a hug.
[Vanessa] Bye, sis.
I need to get out and celebrate myself.
[Vanessa] Yes, congratulations, baby.
Thank you. See you later.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chatters indistinctly)
(footsteps thumping)
Who the hell is (indistinct)
-Family.
-What's up, niggas?
Hey, when did you get out, nigga?
What's up, man?
(Carlos laughing)
I ain't getting no welcome
party man. What's up?
Hell, if I knew you was getting out
I would have got you something.
So Carlos, she ain't tell me
that Muckmud was getting out today.
And you didn't tell me
Flame was getting out either.
Well, surprise, surprise.
Surprise is right.
Surprise, surprise.
Hey, me and Shelly just
christened my new room
in my new house. (chuckles)
Your new room? Your house?
Maybe I'm confused but
honestly I don't understand
what the hell you talking about.
(scoffs) What the hell
you don't understand, man?
This is my house just as much as yours.
Our father left it to both
of us or did you forget?
So since he is my father,
technically it's my house too.
You know what, come on brother,
we having a celebration here, right?
Man, welcome home.
You're right, you're right.
Welcome home, nephew,
the bastard child, I
mean the special child.
[Muckmud] Thank you.
[Flame] Oh, man.
Yeah, welcome home, Muckmud.
And damn, Carlos, that's messed up.
You trying to keep a man, my
baby outta his birthright?
You know what, baby?
Anyways,
baby, your uncle has
been so excited all week
about you coming home.
Now, I'm just sad that
you had to go through
what you went through.
You didn't deserve any of that, okay?
All you did was try to save a man's life.
They did you wrong, nephew.
Thank God you home now, right?
Right.
All right.
Hold on.
Damn. Slow down, tiger.
Ain't nobody gonna take your food.
You think I'm worried about
somebody taking my food, nigga?
No, I'm just joking, brother.
Calm down. Little hostile, ain't you?
Well, nigga stop joking
all the goddamn time.
You know what? Where are my manners, man.
It's just this food so damn good, man.
You know it's been 15 years
since I've had a home cooked meal.
You right, man. I could have
been little more sensitive.
Sensitive? Sensitive?
What you trying to say hoe ass nigga?
Dang unc, we trying to
have a nice family dinner.
Show some respect.
My bad, y'all, I'm just
little institutionalized.
That's all.
You know, words sometimes trigger me.
I'm so used to niggas saying slick shit
that got multiple meanings like
let's say if I call
Muckmud a bitch ass nigga
and told him if he ever
talked to me like that again,
I'll stick my foot up his ass.
Mm.
That right there can be
taken as multiple meanings.
You dig what I'm saying?
Last time I checked we was...
I mean, yeah, your father was my father.
Speaking of family, some
things we need to discuss
like where's my money dad left for me?
And he left his house to both of us.
So since I'm back,
technically, we need to
talk about some things.
This is your first fucking night back
and you're starting already.
What that mean?
Hell yeah, I'm starting already.
Nigga, I did 15 years for your selfish ass
and you going to sit up here
and act like I ain't got no rights
over this motherfucking house, nigga.
You ain't do 15 years for me.
You did 15 years 'cause you got locked up.
Oh, niggas always seem to forget.
Oh yeah. You know what?
Nigga, you murdered that man, huh?
And you goddamn got 10 years.
And the only reason you got
that little bit of a time
'cause I paid for a lawyer
for your ungrateful
motherfucking ass, nigga.
And then you got another body
while you was in fucking
prison and got five more years.
And I (indistinct) clean
up your fucking mess.
Clean up your mess?
Damn, Carlos, why
you gotta be like that?
Y'all, brothers-
No, no, no, no. It's cool, Shelly.
Let the little nigga talk.
Little nigga, huh?
You know what, Uncle Jose?
Okay, little nigga.
I'm glad you home. You
look strong, you clean.
(chuckles) Thanks
little nigga. (indistinct)
I hope you didn't let
niggas take your cornbread
while you was in prison like that.
I know you concerned about me, unc
but trust me, I handled myself in there.
Good, handle yourself out here too.
All right, let's all...
Let's make a toast.
To my mother, my sister,
my brother and my sister-in-law
had a beautiful boy.
If your granddaddy could see you, boy,
he would be so proud of you
and your mother and father,
you would light they eyes all the way up.
I'm telling you. We proud of you.
We're glad you home, all right?
Last but not least,
I wanna make a toast to
you too, knucklehead.
You know I love you boy.
My brother Flame's finally free, hmm?
15 years.
See, now we can get back
to the business, right?
The real business, the family business.
The Bailey business.
[All] The Bailey business.
(glasses clinging)
I'm so glad to be home.
I'm glad that you're home too.
Speaking of being home,
got you a little something, something.
(Carlos speaks indistinctly)
Thanks.
Big flex, hey.
Go get you something to wear.
Maybe you can take Alice with you.
So Muckmud, I hope this
isn't too personal question
but what was prison like?
[Flame] Yo C, where the
hell you find this woman?
What type of question is that?
How the hell you think it was in there?
Excuse me, I wasn't talking to you.
I was talking to your nephew, Muckmud.
Please don't insert yourself
in this conversation again.
I guess she told you.
Oh, no, no, hell to the no.
You didn't tell nobody nothing
because this is my man.
[Speaker] Vanessa.
So let's chill on that.
This is my man. Y'all not
gonna talk to him crazy.
Well, let me just say this.
I had a lot of time to
think and ponder on life.
Reflection, it was everything.
I mean especially with me being innocent,
I was trying to figure out
what lesson was God trying to
teach me with this experience.
That's an interesting perspective.
[Carlos] Definitely.
I should take notes.
See, I told you he was smart
and a well mannered young man.
Yes, you did say that.
Mm-hmm.
So Carlos.
[Carlos] Mm-hmm.
What's this Bailey business?
Oh, you know, some real estate,
dibling down in the
neighborhoods here and there.
Little odd end jobs but
majorly real estate.
Well, speaking of real estate,
(indistinct) you need a job.
Yeah, yeah. As a matter of fact I do.
All right, we gonna get you something.
Oh and Vanessa, did you tell
Alice about my man trying to
buy a piece of property on MLK?
Yes, baby I did.
MLK? You got a property on MLK?
-Yeah.
-[Carlos] She does. Nice one.
A block up on 13th
and Martin Luther King.
But Carlos, I'm not trying
to sell my business.
I just need to find the right manager
and keep that Black business thriving
plus I think the boutique
has real potential.
Potential? (laughs)
Look, that's a waste of
your time, all right?
Plus my dude is willing
to pay pretty penny
for that piece of property.
You need to go and sell that.
Is this dude white?
No, he's not white but
what does that matter?
No, he's not white, he's Italian.
But he got money and
he's willing to spend it,
so what does that even matter?
Yeah, a white man ain't
willing to spend money
in the ghetto for no reason
unless it's worth something.
And besides I don't
think you should sell it.
If you hiring, put me
in a manager position.
Do you have any experience?
Absolutely.
Me and my mom and pop used to
run a very successful store
when I was younger.
It's in my blood.
Oh, I see there you go, Muckmud
stepping on a man's business
and you ain't got no damn
business being no manager
'cause you ain't got no experience.
And Alice, you need to just
sell that property to him.
Man, I'm just trying to
eat like everybody else.
I'm trying to make something of my life.
I gave a lot of time I can't get back.
Can't take this old fake
ass real estate shit no more.
Jose, what you talking about?
Oh, you don't know, huh?
So you not gonna tell
'em we don't sell houses,
we sell dope?
Jose?
Sitting here lying to
them with this fake image.
Nigga, tell the truth. We dope boys.
[Shelly] Mm.
What the fuck is wrong with you, hmm?
Talking about we sell dope not houses
in front of my motherfucking company.
Nigga, get the fuck outta my house.
Your house?
It's what the fuck I said.
Rise the fuck up and get
outta my motherfucking house.
[Shelly] You know what?
-It is okay, baby. Come on.
-Yeah, okay.
Mi casa is su casa. (indistinct)
I got shit to handle, any damn way.
[Carlos] Yeah, nigga, rise the fuck up.
Good, fuck. We are gone.
(Vanessa speak indistinctly)
Look, whatever you heard
ain't what you heard, right?
Enjoy this (indistinct)
Yes, babe.
Where is Champ?
I didn't know my sister
could burn like that.
Now all I need is something sweet.
[Muckmud] Oh.
I feel like I'm craving some ice cream.
Ice cream sounds really nice.
You mind if tag along?
No, I don't mind. I could
use the company anyway.
I'm supposed to be celebrating a big deal
that I closed on earlier today
but all that excitement
at the dinner table
made me forget all about it for a moment.
Well, congratulations.
And since you say that, let me treat you
and we can celebrate your
accomplishments together.
Okay.
(water gurgling)
Bro, where the fuck you
at with that bread, man?
Come on, man.
I ain't got time to be sitting
here waiting all goddamn day.
(calm music)
It's getting a little cold out here.
(calm music)
So this spot must be new
because I have never had this.
Yeah, they just opened
up a couple years ago.
(calm music)
So what's your story?
Because I don't remember
seeing you go around
when I was younger.
Well you know, me and
Vanessa have the same father
but different mothers
so we didn't really get to
spend a lot of time together
growing up.
Oh okay.
(calm music)
So why are you single?
Why am I single?
That's a rather personal
question, don't you think?
I'm sorry.
I'm an inquisitive guy
and I don't really mean
to come off too forward.
That's cool. I'm a widow.
Have been for the last six years.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
It's all right.
Me and my husband got
married fresh outta college
and he had an accounting
firm, a DME medical business
and he started his own real
estate company at the age of 32.
He was real successful, you know,
and when he died, he left
all those companies to me.
That's crazy.
If you don't mind me asking, how'd he die?
He was murdered. Police
still haven't found his killer.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
It's cool.
You know, he lived a really good life
and he died happy but
justice will prevail.
But enough about me, what about you?
A young handsome man like yourself?
I'm pretty sure you're
the pick of the litter.
Never.
Well, actually I haven't
found that special person yet.
You know, back when I was younger
I was so wrapped up in the school work,
then I got locked up.
So you're not one of those
brothers that come home
and screw everything walking, are you?
No. I'm not really, not
focused on that right now.
No, I'm focused on getting back to life
and everything that's good.
I'm already on (indistinct)
I'm supposed to be on my way to you.
Come pick up that little paper man.
(Alice speaks indistinctly)
No way.
Yes. (laughs)
We ain't gonna keep
going through this shit.
[Flame] What's up, fat nigga?
I'm gonna need that hundred
piece back and them bricks.
Is that use of the cat (indistinct)
It's meow. (laughs)
-Flame?
-(indistinct) nigga.
Two birds, one stone.
[Chopz] Come on, man.
More like four birds, one gun.
[Chopz] Hold on, hold on.
Rest in peace, fat ass nigga.
(gun fires)
-Hey, get down. Get down.
-(gun fires)
(door thuds)
(tires screech)
(car engine rumbling)
[Speaker] Now that was real right there.
(indistinct) That's ours.
I still want many more
(Polo speaks indistinctly)
I'ma feed that shit.
Watch me, poop. (laughs)
Gimme that.
Yeah that's my book.
How you cutting hearts too?
'Cause I don't love
these hoes right now.
Yeah 'cause you niggas is bogus.
Damn, sis, that's how
you feel? I'm bogus too?
Yeah, nigga, you know you ain't shit.
The whole hood know that.
(all laugh)
Niggas ain't shit but hoes and tricks.
(Quanda laughs)
Damn, Meeka, that's how you feel?
Yeah, until you prove otherwise.
I'll still play cards with you though.
Boy, you gotta stop.
You know how I get off
this Sutter Home, baby.
Shit, what you saying? Fuck this game.
Let's go upstairs right
now to the room, mama.
No, the fuck y'all aint.
Not while I'm here
and damn sure not while my
nieces and nephews are asleep.
Nigga, I'm grown.
[Polo] Hit me, motherfucker.
Poo (laughs)
That one's for you, hot damn.
(Tameka speaks indistinctly)
(indistinct) us again.
(both laugh)
Ma, I got school tomorrow.
Can you keep it down? We
are trying to sleep here.
Well, girl if you don't
get your back in that bed
and stop getting smart.
You are not too old to get whooped.
But ma, we got school tomorrow
and y'all down here really loud.
Hey, what the hell?
Hey, you hear your mama?
Get your little crunchy Black
ass back up them stairs.
Ain't nobody trying to hear shit
from your little spoiled ass.
[Polo] Nigga, who the fuck you is
talking to my niece like that?
I just met your goofy ass tonight.
Don't get your head blown
off this motherfucker.
Matter of fact, nigga...
(gun clicks)
Hey man, hey.
[Polo] You about to
apologize, bitch ass nigga.
Hey.
[Polo] Titi, get back out here.
-Polo, what the hell?
-[Polo] This ho ass nigga
got something to say.
[Tameka] What are you doing?
[Polo] Shut the fuck up.
[Tameka] You're always tripping.
[Quanda] You are tripping big time.
[Polo] I ain't trying
to hear none of that shit.
Titi, get back out here.
Oh, hey, you tripping.
[Polo] What you was saying, nigga?
What you was saying, nigga?
Just, I apologize, my wrong.
You forgive me?
Uncle Polo, it's okay. It's okay.
Yeah, you're forgiven.
I'm going to sleep now.
[Polo] All right, go on back to bed.
(footsteps thumping)
(indistinct) pick your shoes up
Don't include that
old John (indistinct)
I ain't messing with any hoes
Who playing?
Even though I got plenty hoes
I still want many more,
'cause I want the vibes
I'm staring at them guys
(phone buzzing)
Yo.
Hold on. Slow down, slow
down, nigga, slow down.
Nigga, what?
I'm on the way.
Okay, I'm on the way. All right, bet.
Shit. That was your brother, G.
They just killed Chopz.
I'm out.
(shoes clacking)
(door latch clicks)
Damn. They killed Chopz?
Be safe, Lo.
Man, they killed Chopz. Crazy.
Rest in peace.
Hey, come on.
(chair thuds)
Quit acting like that.
(footsteps thumping)
Let me call my man.
Where them hoes and them pretty girls
I ain't messing with any hoes
Even though I got plenty hoes
I still want many more
I wanna see where the vibes
I'm staring at your thighs
I'm looking in your eyes
to see if you a vibe
We're posted in the section
And you're looking kind of slanty
You wanna have my seed from
all this G that I planted.
You say I'm a star and
you wanna be a planet
I sense the fire
(calm music)
[Muckmud] Hey, auntie.
Good morning, nephew. How did you sleep?
Good. Well, great.
Actually, I had a dream about your sister.
-It was weird.
-My sister?
[Muckmud] Yeah.
Okay, that's really weird.
I'm not sure what that's
about but what kind of dream?
Well, it was not too crazy.
Just it was at the altar.
I was in a really nice tux,
she was in a wedding dress.
The altar? A wedding dress?
Now you know my sister
is 41 years old, right?
She's a whole widow in these streets.
Okay, and I'm 26.
Besides, I wasn't lusting
after her or anything.
It was just a dream, okay?
Probably nothing, just a dream.
I hope it didn't mean anything
because you know she's
like your aunt, right?
No, she's not like my aunt.
[Vanessa] Okay.
But she will be my boss.
-Your boss?
-[Muckmud] Mm-hmm.
What are you talking about?
Well, she's gonna hire
me to work at the store
and we had a really good
conversation last night.
And I'm gonna ask her again
and I know for a fact she's gonna say yes.
Okay. I'm sorry I don't think she will.
But you know what?
If she does, it's nice for Alice
to be able to give you a job.
Yes, I think it would be
because I don't want no
gentrifier taking over our hood.
We can't do that.
Yeah, maybe.
Don't worry, auntie.
It's only justice and
justice will prevail.
There were three murders
there downtown last night.
You know, your uncle called me and told me
that you told him that
Porkchop got killed.
He had to call that boy's mother.
You know, what's strange
is you guys just saw him.
(dramatic music)
(gun fires)
So that's weird.
I don't get it. I don't understand.
Yeah, that's pretty sad.
(heartbeat thumping)
Auntie, (heartbeat thumping)
I think I saw who murdered him.
Who? We need to report this.
Flame.
(suspenseful music)
Are you sure?
Wait, are you 100% sure
that you saw your uncle Jose?
He was masked up and everything
so I'm not really sure
but it looked like uncle Jose.
Okay.
Baby, your uncle Flame is dangerous.
I don't wanna hear that
come out of your mouth
like that again, okay?
I need you to be safe, okay? Promise me.
Yes, of course.
We live and we die by the street code.
But you don't have to worry
about me, auntie, okay?
I'm gonna be fine
[Vanessa] Okay.
But I gotta get a move on, all right?
Love you, auntie.
Hey, wait.
Look, I saw how you looked
at my sister the other day
and now you're talking about
you having dreams about her,
so I need you to be honest with me.
Do you like my sister?
Look, your sister is beautiful.
You don't have to worry
about anything, okay?
It was just a dream, all right.
-Okay.
-[Muckmud] Just a dream.
I'm just saying she's my sister.
You are like my son.
That would be weird, but you can go.
[Muckmud] Okay.
All right, now you go
have a good day. Mm-hmm.
[Muckmud] I love you, auntie.
I love you.
(Muckmud speaks indistinctly)
You play too much, boy.

He was the one eating up all
the food, drinking, cussing,
playing spades all night

Your mama had a man over here?
Yes.
Tameka, stop having
niggas coming over here
to eat my niece and nephew food up, bro.
Hey, I promise the next

Oh look, can you get your

Stop playing through it.
Move aside. (indistinct)
You win mercy, mercy, mercy. Dang.
Working on my nerve.
Tameka, listen.

If uncle don't come through today
I gotta find somebody
to get some work from.
I was going through Chopz,
that shit really gonna hurt my pocket.
So that's why I need
you to get it together.
All that partying you were
doing, messing up money
and niggas running in
and out of the house.
You gotta chill, son.
(Tameka speaks indistinctly)
I still can't believe
they killed my nigga, man.
You know I got it together.
You forgot I used to wash your stank butt
when you was younger?
When mama was out getting high.
Don't worry, shit will all be good, bro.
If it ain't, I got a couple of niggas
that would love to do a favor
for me, used to deal with,
you know?
So I never forget.
Tameka, I never forget.
I love you for that
and I don't really show up but
Tameka I love you for real.

You are right. That was my baby daddy.
Damn that shit fucked me up.
Fucked me up big time, man.
They killed that nigga

In front of our son, bro.
So I'm sorry, a bitch can't

But shit, we can do

Y'all think the Migo's
was trying to touch bricks
when they were trying to rap?
No, nigga, they weren't
touching bricks or violence.
But y'all come from a
line of street niggas.
Y'all are street not rappers.
Rappers are not street niggas.
You gotta stay focused.
Titi.
I'm about to slide off now, man.
Man, I'm gone too. Hola at you.

What's up, nigga?
(speaker speaks indistinctly)
Shit, man. You know how I do, man.
Back up on my bullshit.
Of course you back

and we back on our shit.
We got that motherfucking
Italian connection, nigga
and it's on.
[Flame] Mm-hmm.
Hey, I know that's not the fucking gun
you used to kill Chopz with.
You know the fucking law.
You do what you gotta do
and you get rid of that motherfucker.
Hell man, my rule is to put
three on it, then ditch it.
Anyway nigga, we need
to take over the Oaks,
Magnolia Homes and Boulevard.
We can run that whole East
side and then Sun City.
No, I hear you bro but
what you did the Chopz,
nigga, that's some crazy shit.
He was a loved nigga in the hood.
We did what we had to do,
but I just don't want that
shit coming back to us.
You feel me?
You move smart, I moved dangerous.
I kill that little nigga right now
before he even know what happened, bro.
Yeah, I got you, bro.
But you know his cousin Lil G, man.
Them niggas gonna want revenge soon.
So we gotta chill out,
you know what I'm saying?
Keep it low, move strategic.
How the you get kicked
outta Carlos's house?
Nigga, I didn't get kicked out, I left.
Besides that ain't that nigga house.
That's my pop's house which
makes it mine too's house.
So why you leave, nigga?
Because that nigga
soft as hell. That's why.
And speaking of soft,
my little punk ass nephew
Muck saw me hit up Chopz.
I was masked up and shit
but that nigga looked right in my eye
ain't even look away, bro.
I hear you, but as long
as you was masked up,
like you said, that's cool.
But your ass need to be
a little bit more nice
to Muckmud and Carlos
because I mean, come on, bro,
they the reason why we
got this fucking connect.
You feel me?
Yeah, whatever, bro.
It's still fuck them
niggas though, bro. Shit.
(laughs) You the craziest
motherfucker in the clique.
You know that shit?
(indistinct) All right, bro.
All right, I'm holler at you my nigga.
But tonight I'm gonna
show up like (indistinct)
(car door thuds)
(calm music)
Hey, I'm here to speak
with Mrs. Alice McDonald.
My name is Jimmy Esposito.
That would be me.
Hey Mrs. Alice.
It's Miss Alice.
How can I help you Mr Esposito?
Well, I know you're a busy lady.
I was over in Oakcrest on MLK
and I saw a piece of property.
I talked to my friend Carlos.
He said I could find you here.
Yes, MLK, that's my boutique
and Carlos is my brother-in-law.
Yes, I understand that's the
only property you own here.
Yes, it is.
Is there a reason for your
interest Mr. Esposito?
Yes, it's not getting you any action,
at least not in a consistent basis.
Your hours of operation
change from week to week.
Your workers change more often
than I change my underwear.
Hope you'll pardon the expression,
but I think you know
where I'm going with this.
It seems like you had your interest
in this little piece of property of mine
for some time now.
[Jimmy] I like to do my research
before I make any decisions.
So what are you planning to offer me
for this unstable business of mine?
(calm suspenseful music)
Well, that's generous.
And that's cash.
Cash?
That's what I'm
willing to pay right now.
Transferred from my bank account
to your bank account today.
Hmm.
So let me get this straight.
You're willing to pay me $200,000
for this unstable piece
of property of mine?
If you would so kindly accept my offer.
(clears throat) I don't know.
I don't know you and this is kind of
coming out of left field.
Look, I know you don't
have a for sale sign
in front of your business today,
so I'm willing to go to a
quarter million, that's $250,000
and you can stay in the property
for two years rent free.
Wow. Now that's really generous.
Do you mind if I think on
it for a bit, Mr. Esposito?
Of course. Yeah, how about this?
I'll give my card to your manager up front
and then you just gimme a call
when you've made your decision, okay?
Sounds good.
All right, perfect.
I'll give you a call. Thank you.
[Jimmy] I'll be
waiting to hear from you.
Talk to you later.
(cheerful music)
Bro, and it had to be them niggas
from the Magnolia Homes, bro
and we gonna catch up with
them bitch ass niggas soon.
I know that shit gonna hurt them niggas
when we catch up with Dino.
Man, fuck Dino. Dino next.
But the thing that's fucked up
is that they killed cuz, bro.
But say that we catch up with Dino,
take him out and it ain't even him.
Shit don't make no sense. I
don't even think it's him.
All right. Who then?
Fucking anybody.
East Side niggas, Oakcrest niggas.
100 racks a lot of money (indistinct)
Get the fuck outta here, man.
What nigga in the hood, bro?
A nigga from Magnolia
Home told me Chopz was hot.
That's how he even heard
about the hundred racks on his head.
But niggas just be fucking talking, bro.
Everybody hitting the same bitch.
But to answers your
question, I think it's Wise.
Wise? Man, you tripping.
Hot about what?
Niggas just be fucking talking.
All I know is cuz dropped me off,
say he going to pick up
a bitch named Shelly.
Ever since then, shit just been crazy.
Wow, wow, wow, Shelly?
Yeah, Shelly.
Y'all got all the niggas out today.
You just saying 'cause
you like that nigga O.
Who wouldn't like him? He is fine.
Ough.
Girl, that's my brother.
You doing too much.
-Okay.
-Thirsty.
And your brother is fine. That's it.
No need to get all up
in your feelings, sis.
Get in my feelings? (laughs)
Girl, this is my hood.
You know what you can do?
You can take your ass back to
where the fuck you came from.
Wait a minute. Where you from again?
Staton.
You talking 39-year-old fine Shelly?
Shiesty set a nigga up Shelly?
Man, she a ward legend when
it come to hood broads.
What the you trying to tell me, bro?
You think this bitch set
cuz up over some money?
Nigga, you young, 24 and shit.
I was outside in '06, '07, '08.
That bitch was around
setting niggas up back then.
That's Jose bitch.
Exactly. The dirty ass south side.
Dirty? I'm clean,
but I don't think I can say
the same thing about you.
Y'all two, chill.
Excuse me.
What's up with this girl mouth.
You need me to smack the shit outta her?
Smack who? First of all, you
ain't gotta ask her about me.
You could ask me about me, hoe.
-(laughs) We from the Oaks.
-We cut bitches over here.
Mm-hmm.
Let's say she did set 'cuz
up for some goddamn money.
What sense do that make if Flame not home?
Nigga, what?
Flame came home yesterday.
Where you been at?
Nigga, what? Flame home?
Man, fuck all that shit.
I just seen that dirty ass
broad yesterday around here
with the nigga Flame.
Bro, you seen that bitch
yesterday with Flame?
Nigga, she was just with cuz yesterday.
Hell yeah, I seen her, nigga.
That sound like some Flame shit.
Come home and get right back
to that grimy street shit.
That nigga ain't changed.
Look, if he was cool with Dino
then you know he doesn't
mind get his hands dirty
for some money, bro.
Bro, I just called that hoe today
and she ain't pick up the phone.
Babe, don't let this body fool you.
Miss Shelly. Y'all, chill.
I don't play with little girls
and I'm not about to play with you.
[Asia] Shelly, please stop.
[Shelly] No, she need to stop.
Where you going?
-Don't be scared now.
-Raise the fuck up.
Raise the fuck up.
That's what you need to do.
(Tameka speaks indistinctly)
Huh? I can't hear you.
-Bye.
-Exactly. Bye-bye.
Asia, I'm out. This is too much.
I'm sorry, girl. (indistinct)
Bye-bye because I'm with it today.
This shit starting to make sense, bro.
Look, if Flame made
a move then Wise knew.
If Wise knew, best believe O know.
And you said he said he
was going to pick her up
when he dropped you off, right?
I'm telling you, man,
she's a shiesty broad.
She lined that nigga up
and I'm pretty sure
Flame did that nigga in.
Your friend telling the truth, bro.
Bro, O and Lo was with me last night.
We spent the block looking
for them niggas, man.
Man, them at the
court balling right now.
I just seen that nigga Flame.
Flame is at Sun City gym right now?
Let's go check they two (indistinct)
Man, I finna gonna kill
that nigga right now.
Let's go, bro.
(bell rings)
Boo.
Ooh, excuse me. Why am I
getting the stink face?
You know your husband sent
that man Jimmy over there
to the office today to
try to buy my property.
250,000, Nessa.
Girl, 250,000 for this raggedy ass store
that you only bought for 40 grand?
Girl, you better go ahead and cash out.
First of all, I need
you and your husband
to stay outta my business.
Out of my business, okay?
I'm sorry.
Look, I'm just trying to
look out for you, all right?
Carlos told me about that
guy and he is loaded.
I'm trying to help you cash out.
250,000 is a lot for
this property, Nessa.
Tell me about it.
I wonder why he gonna offer so much.
Girl, who cares?
Look, go ahead and cash
out, take that money
and you can flip that five times.
Besides you don't have
anyone to even run the store.
Look, what are you doing?
Actually, I just hired somebody.
Okay, who?
Muckmud.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
He has no experience in running a store.
Well, he seems pretty
confident that he can run it
and turn the profits up so
I'm gonna give him a chance.
At this point, I don't
got nothing to lose.
Okay.
You know Muckmud might
have ulterior motives.
He thinks (indistinct)
What?
Mm-hmm.
Why would he think that?
I don't know. I'm just saying.
Sis, I'm just looking out for
you and so is Carlos, okay?
We love you and I think you need to settle
but it's your decision, okay?
I gotta think about it, Nessa.
I'm gonna give it three months.
Three months and we'll see.
And then maybe, maybe, just maybe,
I may consider selling.
-Okay.
-Maybe.
-All right.
-Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go out with my husband.
Yeah, you do that.
Tell him to stay outta my damn business.
(both laugh)
I love you.
I love you too. Bye.
(bell rings)
Shelly, what are you doing?
Go on now, Muck, okay?
I told these little girls to
stop running their damn mouth.
Please put the gun away.
What?
Please.
Oh okay, okay, okay. I'll do it.
Y'all better be glad
that Muckmud came to
save y'all silly asses.
(speaker speaks indistinctly)
You know what?
I see you, you're all free
and shit. Welcome home, nigga.
Thank you, sis.
It's good to be home?
Yeah?
Man, but how have you been? Look at you.
You know, same old shit.
You know niggas ain't
shit, You know the vibes.
Ain't shit changed.
You know I got rapping and writing, huh.
But when you gonna slow down?
How many kids you got now?
Six and never, nigga,
until I get a meal ticket.
You know what's up.
Ever since your ass was a
snorty nose (indistinct) boy.
A bitch was gonna make some shit happen.
You know that right? (laughs)
But what you doing
these days? What you on?
Well you know how I operate.
But since you asking, I got a job.
Yeah, I'm gonna be starting
up at that boutique
on 13th at MLK.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
(indistinct) Yo that's-
But I was actually heading
my way up there right now.
-I see you working man.
-I'm proud of you, handsome.
Go do your thing.
All right.
Good seeing you.
(dramatic music)
Yeah.
Tameka, is that Guy?
(suspenseful music)
(guns firing)
(speaker speaks indistinctly)
(sirens blaring)
(indistinct) Lay down on the ground now.
Now that seem a little
intense. What's this all about?
It's just a basketball game.
Sounds more serious
than a basketball game.
(sirens wailing)
[Detective Daniels] Gunshots to me.
See, we got a call
and from the looks of things...
Get up, on your feet, it
sounds like a shooting.
[Beez Around] Be careful with him.
(slap thuds)
I don't know what's going on.
You know something.
And Beez Around what
you doing back around?
Last time I saw you I
was arresting Muckmud
and sending him up to prison.
(Beez Around laughs)
Whatever, whatever, whatever Beez Around.
Look, I don't have time for this
so I'm gonna cut to the chase
and I'm only gonna tell you this once,
which is like the rest of
the men in your family.
You ain't innocent. You're
a criminal and a hooligan.
Now there's been three
shootings this week. Three.
And you mean to tell me that
you don't know anything?
I mean this is war between
the Oaks and the Magnolias
or the Oaks versus the Oaks.
Either way I will find out.
Look, but then just do your job.
All right, that's all I gotta say.
We don't know what the hell
is going on, all right?
We were watching them play basketball
and two men and they
came through shooting.
Look, help me out here.
Everyone in this community works for me.
I don't know anything.
You know something.
I guess I couldn't keep
you locked up forever.
I was innocent. Still innocent.
The mayor made her career
off that false case.
I wasn't guilty.
I beg to differ.
You a Bailey. All of y'all are guilty.
Come on, man.
Just help us out and
tell us who was shooting.
I don't know anything else.
I'll lock you up, Muckmud
and this time, it's gonna be for life.
Do what you gotta do and
I'm gonna do what I got.
Make sure you get a job by the way.
You know we'd hate to
see you violate parole
and go back to prison for not having one.
I got that covered.
You get a job too.
Whatever, man. Let's go, Little.
(calm music)
Hey, Lo, what the hell was that, Lo?
Nigga, how the fuck
am I supposed to know?
The better question is
what's up with that nigga G?
You seen how that nigga Flame duck
before he started shooting?
It's like he knew something.
Yeah, nigga must've had
some real good intuition
or some shit.
Look bro, I talked to
my uncle this morning.
I asked him about that Chopz situation.
Shit, he ain't act like he was mad
or wanted no smoke with
the nigga Dino or nothing.
Bro, I know my uncle.
If a nigga killed his partner,
he either gonna get him himself
or put some money in somebody
else pocket to handle it.
Hold on, hold on. What
the the fuck you saying, O?
Man, that nigga G ain't
just come outta thin air
hitting at them folks.
And Flame, he move like he knew,
he knew he was guilty of something
that would make Guy snap.
Shit ain't making no sense.
Nigga, G tried to smoke Flame and Wise?
I'm saying.
So you think Flame smoked Chopz?
He had to, bro.
You know what? It
don't even matter, bro.
One of them bullets coulda hit me.
Them niggas shot at me.
So when I see them
niggas again, it's over.
I don't give a fuck-
Hey, hey, hey, who the hell
they with Asia right there?
Goddamn bro, she fine as hell.
Oh shit. Ey, nigga, that's Diamond.
Her ass work at the strip club.
Hey, Asia! Man, come here, son.
Introduce me to your girlfriend.
(indistinct) what the fuck.
[Polo] How you doing? What's up?
(Asia speaks indistinctly)
(upbeat music)
[Omari] You know I'm
coming over tonight, right.
You know what you gonna do with it?
Don't play with it.
You know I'm gonna eat that
ass out till you pass out.
That's what kinda time you on?
All right.
Hey, hey man come on. (indistinct)
So do you do diligence? Come on.
I ain't never met her, who is this?
Oh this my friend
Diamond. She from Staton.

(Diamond chuckles)
What's up, Diamond, O.
Man, you look real fine.

Well, thank you.
You know you real handsome yourself Omari?
Yeah. She can call a nigga all day.
Look it cool.

Ooh. Thanks Omari Price.
Asia, come on.
Don't do that, bro.
(indistinct) government name.
Everybody know you know me, bro.
-Asia, you doing too much.
-But no for real, thank you.
I don't think your sister
never want you to be ordering for me.
They tried to jump me today at the court
when you was hooping all
because I said you was cute.
Hold on, hold on.
They hating on you because
you said I was fine.
Uh-huh
Yep. Shelly did too much.
She pulled out a gun and all.
-Shelly pulled a gun out?
-Hell, I gotta tell her old ass
she can't be scaring the legs away.
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
She ain't scaring nothing away.
And matter of fact they acting
broke with all that hate.
Y'all need to get your people.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Broken and Oaks ain't even go together.
We having real paper.
Asia, you better tell your
friend what's going on.
We having real money for real now.
They get money, Asia?
Yeah, they touching some paper.
Y'all should probably exchange numbers.
(Diamond chuckles)
Think about it.
So you from the Oaks I see huh?
Why these niggas crazy around here?
Y'all got niggas shooting
at y'all and stuff.
(laughs) Shooting at
who? Man, you crazy.
Ain't no niggas shooting at me.
If niggas was shooting at
me, them niggas be dead.
Oh so you the Don dada
around this joint. (laughs)
(Omari speaks indistinctly)
Oh that's what he is?
They are some real project babies.
Real thing, baby. You know.
So Diamond, you be down at the club?
-I mean yeah, I'm a dancer.
-How you know my business?
Baby, I am the streets.
It's my business to know your business,
especially with somebody as fine as you.
(calm music)
(both laugh)
Bruh be a little Casanova.
Hey, sit your ass (indistinct)
Right? Well let me get your phone.
I'll put my number in.
I'm gonna be at Asia's tonight.
Maybe you and Polo could come
over and keep us company.
(Omari speaks indistinctly)
Hey Lo, whatever you
got going on tonight.
(indistinct) we gonna see
her. I'm not trying...
We gonna see her.
Nigga, I was going anyway.
Okay, say we on the same page.
We on the same page.
This your new sister now. (indistinct)
I don't know about that (indistinct)
(calm music)
Hey, Muck.
Everything okay? You
wanted me to stop by.
Yeah, sure, come in.
Yes, everything is perfect.
I wanted to thank you personally.
Do you know that you have
taken the storage revenue
from 1500 a month to 10,000 a month?
Not to mention, you went
on that trip with me
(indistinct) and we made 21,000.
I'm just, I'm so grateful.
I mean you bought the
inventory, made the clothes,
you bought all the real estate.
I just sold items.
(indistinct) I appreciate that.
I'm really grateful for you.
I want you to know that.
It's me who can't
express enough gratitude.
I mean even giving me a shot.
So I was thinking about upping the ante
on the store with you
a little bit, you know,
maybe becoming partners.
You serious?
Yes. Look, I never told you this,
but the day after you came home,
Jimmy stopped by the office
and made an offer on the boutique.
Offer written and I was
attempting to take it.
And I thank you but you trusted me.
Yes. But look, then Jimmy came by again.
Now he wants to buy the
boutique for 300,000.
Then he offered to lease me the building
for two years for free.
Something about this, it reads snake.
-Exactly what I thought.
-But don't worry about it.
I'm not gonna sell. I'm gonna
keep the business black owned.
But Carlos keeps persisting
on me selling the business.
Something is just strange.
It's not adding up.
I don't trust him or my uncle
Carlos with this purchase.
Write $300,000 for a property
that we can make more than that in a year
if you give me the store.
There's definitely way more
to this deal, I'm telling you.
Mm-hmm.
You know, ever since the first
day I met you, (indistinct)
Are you seeing anyone?
Believe it or not, I'm a virgin.
(coughs) You said virgin.
[Muckmud] You okay?
I just swallowed on the
wrong pipe. (indistinct)
Yeah, but ain't no shame
on my game over here.
Why? I mean how?
By choice, of course.
I mean I was already planning
on waiting for marriage anyway.
But going to prison for eight years
kind of got in the way
of me finding a wife.
What about you?
Me? Well, I was married
at 24, so I'm no virgin.
But it has been six years and you know,
I've been on dates here and
there, but nothing serious.
But you're waiting for Mrs. Right,
that's coming. (chuckles)
Yeah. I feel like
everybody should do that.
Wow. You should be on like bullhorn
across nation or something. (laughs)
Marry me.
You have a really bad habit of doing that.
[Alice] What?
I'm serious about you marrying me.
When?
[Muckmud] Tonight.
Tonight?
[Muckmud] Why not.
Oh my God. Wait, wait.
Tonight?
Yeah.
Seriously?
Okay, tonight. Tonight. (laughs)
(calm music)
(Alice screams)
Yes, I'll be your wife.
(Muckmud speaks indistinctly)
(Alice chuckles)
(upbeat music)
[Amir] Good morning. I'm Amir Achman.
Reporting from the city First Ward.
The police are still
looking for the person
or persons responsible
for the double homicide
that unfortunately claimed the life
of 17-year-old Jonathan Lee
and 13-year-old Tiana Banks.
Both youth were residents
of the Oaks Dwellings
project in the 1st Ward.
As of yesterday, Terrance Banks,
who also goes by Little T,
was arrested and taken in for
questioning in connection to-
Eat the bread, Muckmud.
-[Muckmud] No, no, no.
-Eat the bread, Muckmud.
No, I can't eat it.
You can, eat the bread, Muckmud.
I can't eat it.
Come on, (indistinct) don't
fight it. Don't fight it.
(Muckmud screaming)
It's okay, it's okay.
-I can't. I can't eat it.
-Babe.
I can't. I can't eat it.
-I can't. No.
-Babe, babe.
Babe, babe.
Breath, just breath.
I'm right here.
(news reader speaking indistinctly)
Shoelace.
Shoelace was coming closer
and said to eat the bread.
There's a book to be read.
Do you understand it?
He said it three times.
Three times. And then he
shoved the book down my throat.
My vision, my vision became clear.
It was like I was
training these four birds
and then I cut them up to pieces
and I put them at the top the mountain.
Then when I called them to me
they came flying back to life.
Baby, are you okay?
I've never had dreams my entire life
and all of a sudden I'm
having these crazy dreams.
But...
Am I crazy?
No.
Hey, you're the same man
that everybody in the
neighborhood respects
and says great things about.
You are the person that people
bring their belongings to
when they need somebody to protect them.
Righteous, trustworthy.
Look, you are my man and I love you.
(scoffs) if you're crazy
then I'm crazy. (chuckles)
Look, I just need some
fresh air okay, baby?
Mm.
(news reader speaking indistinctly)
Love you.
(news reader speaking indistinctly)
(door thuds)
Our father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven.
Give us our daily bread and
forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
What do you want from me?
Muck, when the help and
the victory of God comes
and you see people returning
to their original nature
and multitude, praise thy Father,
thank thy Father for he is the true one
who can bring you deliverance
and accept your repentance.
I had a vision of you in my sleep.
You were there.
Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't.
Maybe it was real, Muckmud or
maybe it was fake. (laughs)
We don't know what's real
or what's fake, do we?
I don't know anything.
But what I do know is, hey,
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm gonna start my life all over again
But do you think you pray to the highest,
the highest power of all the
world and you not get answered?
What are you trying to say to me?
Your father made a prayer to
save this community, Muckmud.
And I believe you may be
the answer to that prayer.
I have a nice book.
What's that book you're holding?
A book to read.
You should try it, it's
a really good book.
Eat the bread. Eat the bread.
I don't wanna eat it, Shoelace.
Eat the bread, Muckmud.
No, I don't know how to eat this bread.
You have to eat it.
I don't got no taste for this bread.
Take this bread and feed the people.
Remember, enough food for
one is enough for two.
(somber music)
Are your senses different, Muckmud?
Can you smell the world around you?
Listen to the birds, Muck.
Do you feel the creations around you?
Read the signs of nature, Muckmud.
(calm music)
1975 Muckmud. 1975 Muckmud.
Shoelace.
I never knew your real name.
(chuckles) That's
'cause I don't have one.
Just call me the travel man.
I know you are because...
'Cause I finally know what it means.
The vision is clear, it's
all clear, it's all...
It's all so very clear now.
Titi dying. The neighborhood suffering.
I know what these many dreams mean now.
(door thuds)
Babe, what is it? What did Shoelace say?
(calm music)
Do you trust me?
I trust you.
(calm music)
I know what my purpose is.
I finally know what those
four birds represent.
What? What does it mean?
Business, education,
culture and government.
What does that have to do with Oakcrest?
Bread, it's what I'm
supposed to feed my people.
It's what I'm supposed to
bring back to this community,
but not just Oakcrest,
this is about our people.
Oakcrest will be the blueprint
to save our people in America.
Babe, I never met anybody like you.
And all of this sounds so
strange, but I'm with you.
I'm with you until I die.
Your mission is my mission.
That's all I need to
know. That's my mission.
That's God's mission.
Now Alice,
I'm gonna need you to call all
your college friends, sorrors
business owners from
the city and the state,
because I wanna put together
the first annual Human
Excellence Expo in this city.
Got you. We got this.
We gonna make it happen for sure.
(birds chirping)
(footsteps thumping)
(door latch clicks)
(window whirring)
(door thuds)
Now this is just great.
Between Pork Chop getting
murdered and Flame going home.
The mayor tells the lieutenant
to back us off the 12th
and Oak's drugs all while
this beef is going on
between 10th and Oaks.
And to shift our concerns
to Magnolia Homes
and Boulevard Home and all that beef.
He only talks about East
Oak, East Lake, East Hill
and East Ridge neighborhoods.
They don't put any concern in Oakcrest.
I mean six murders in two weeks.
And you don't think that that's strange
and you don't wanna
investigate this crew at all?
They said what?
Yeah, man. Exactly.
That's what I thought.
He only wants us to investigate East Hill
and East Ridge Crips.
Yeah, that doesn't make
any sense at all. Right?
No, it doesn't. Doesn't
make any sense, man.
That's what I was saying.
Hey, you know, maybe
he's just saying that,
you know, 'cause the feds
are getting involved.
Come clean up the Oaks
and drop a conspiracy on the
whole neighborhood. Right?
You know what, I
didn't think about that.
That makes sense.
They're finally bringing
down the Bailey drug crew.
Carlos, Wise and Flame.
Especially since you know that this beef
is over drugs and turf.
Right. But why are you
so hung up on Carlos?
That guy got outta here a long time ago.
He is not in the game.
Man. Look, this family
has been a thorn in the Oakcrest community
since I was a little kid.
They're finally bringing them down.
They're all rotten apples
all the way up to their nephew, Muckmud.
Sure.
[Detective Daniels] I'm telling you.
Just saying it sounds
like you're obsessed
with Vanessa and Carlos if you ask me.
Obsessed? What do you mean?
I'm not obsessed.
It's just the fact I
don't see what she sees
in these type of people.
I don't understand it.
I'm just saying it sounds like it.
So do me a favor just this
once and then back off
and let the lieutenant
work his magic, okay?
Look man, I'm not obsessed with Vanessa.
All I'm concerned with
is catching the bad guys.
I know. Look I get it, I do.
I got a dick too,
but you're just coming
off a little desperate.
You gotta let it go, man. Really.
Let it go.
What? Man, whatever man.
Hey, come on. Let's go
catch some criminals.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
(car engine cranking)
(car window whirring)
(suspenseful music)
(gun clicks)
You going now try to take this car.
Nigga, you know I'm from the oaks.
Oh this fucking car nigga.
Turn your pussy ass around.
O man. Don't even do me like that, man.
You know that wasn't me
who killed your niece man,
that was Guy.
I ain't even pull a trigger
man. That wasn't me man.
Nigga, fuck that. Stand
on what you did (indistinct)
Don't cut deuces now nigga. (indistinct)
Nah nigga you was on that
hit regardless nigga.
Nah, come on. Don't do me like that man.
(gun fires)
(suspenseful music)
(gun firing)
(birds chirping)
(tires screeching)
Baby girl, your uncle miss you, baby.
Been thinking about you and I know it
but I got both them niggas.
Love you baby girl.
(birds chirping)
(footsteps thumping)
I'm glad to see you, sis. I'm
just here paying my respect.
It looks like I wasn't invited.
Nigga I told you at
the funeral not to come.
All this shit is your fucking fault.
-It ain't my fault.
-This shit not my fault.
Everything happened with
Titi it has to do with me,
but I took care of that business.
Them niggas feel your pain.
Ma, what is this bitch doing here?
Hoe I told you you was
skating on thin ice.
Who are you calling a bitch?
Bitch, you your little (indistinct)
Quanda, what's up, bro.
Stop doing that. Not at
my niece (indistinct) bro.
What the fuck wrong with you?
We don't know this
bitch, she just badged
to my sister's graveyard.
Got one more time to call me
a bitch and that's your ass.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
You ain't gonna do shit
to my daughter, hoe.
Oh, why did you come and
bring this bum ass bitch
in the first place?
-It's my niece, man.
-What's wrong with you, bro?
You bitch, you what's wrong with me?
I lost my fucking daughter, nigga.
And now my son is in jail.
All this shit is your fucking
fault. I hate you, nigga.
I fucking hate you.
That was my niece. My niece.
That's how you feel?
Yeah, that's how I fucking feel.
I'm your younger brother.
Nigga, you know what I had to just do?
I had to put (indistinct)
in the dirt like a dog.
Why I do anything in my power-
That's what you don't get, nigga.
You can't make it right, nigga,
unless you kill yourself.
Okay, that's enough.
Neither one of y'all get it.
Both of y'all had no problem
with the street culture
when it benefited each and one of y'all.
Tameka, you took gifts,
cars and money from Lil and O that came straight from drug money
and you never scolded them.
You as well Quanda.
You never seem to care about the streets
with all the victims
that Lil T and O harmed.
I heard the stories.
I know that they true.
O, I went to jail for something you did.
Now Lil T is sitting in the jail cell
for a choice that he made.
Man, what the f-
Nigga, if you don't shut up and listen.
Now y'all sitting fighting,
calling each other's names at a graveyard
when both of y'all are
guilty of y'all crimes.
Both of y'all are guilty of Tiana's death.
But now is the time that you
can turn to God and repent.
You can change what's in your hearts.
You can purify the specs of blackness
that's on your heart before
your whole heart gets corrupted.
Muckmud, fuck you.
I'm out. Come on, Diamond.
Yeah Diamond go before I whoop your ass.
Little girl, I keep
trying to give you grace
and not put my paws on your silly ass.
But you keep pushing me.
[Tameka] Again, you ain't gonna do shit.
You sure about that?
[Omari] Diamond, I said let's go.
Go on then, your boss is waiting.
Lucky ass. (indistinct)
Tameka, you have
every right (indistinct)
But if you feel like that
towards your brother,
you have to feel like that
towards yourself and Wise.
Wise was the one that
introduced O to the game
and you that lifestyle, it's
not fair to just blame O.
- But he-
- But nothing.
Now I'm gonna give y'all time to grieve
and y'all know where to find me
when y'all are ready to heal,
but forgiveness is a must.
But you have to accept what
you did and forgive yourself.
(somber music)
If y'all need anything,
don't hesitate to call. Okay?
(calm music)
I called all y'all
to meet together today.
There gotta be some type of cease fire,
you know what I'm saying?
We done lost on both fucking sides
because niggas didn't even think
that their cousin was a fucking rat.
Now, Khalid, he was facing life in prison
for a double homicide, am I lying, Polo?
And the nigga (indistinct)
That he was snitching Chopz.
We already handled that shit.
We got the paperwork on and we handled it.
Now Khalid done beat his fucking trial,
nigga coming home in
about two or three months.
You know what I'm saying?
Because remember I told y'all
he was in there fighting jail and shit.
Yeah, (indistinct)
Look, we handled that
snake in the grass,
now let's get back to the money.
You feel me?
Facts man, that G
knew that Chopz was hot
and got mad because we did what we did.
That nigga got the whole hood
beefing over some dumb shit.
This shit crazy.
Motherfuckers be my partner in crime.
Yeah.
But you see he went against
the law of the street.
So a nigga did what he had to do.
I want the hood to come back as one.
No need to buss through another
because a nigga was a
rat lover. (indistinct)
[Omari] Why Titi? Why
(indistinct) bullshit.
Nah, I feel you bro.
Now here's the thing though,
me, I can supply the hood,
I can make sure niggas eat for life
but this petty ass beef
shit, it gotta stop now.
(birds chirping)
Now cease fire and whoever
break that cease fire
gonna have to deal with me.
[Speaker] Hell yeah.
I'm about to get this
motherfucking money niggas.
(indistinct) business.
[Speaker] Me too.
(speaker speaks indistinctly)
Why the fuck you ain't talking, nigga.
What's up?
[Speaker] O?
Man look, I hear everything y'all saying
but what the fuck this
shit gonna do for my niece?
She still dead.
Yeah, but that nigga has been killed.
He dead too. (indistinct)
I guess. I don't know.
Shit I'm with whatever, I'm with it.
Nephew.
Take your head out of
the fucking game, nigga.
We got this.
We about to do business, you feel me?
Hey, Muck, man. Hey, nigga.
What the fuck is you out here doing
passing on flyers, nigga?
I felt it was important
that I give our people
a fair shot of a good life.
A good life? Nigga you
see where the fuck we at?
We in a projects bro.
This little economy, this shit
been bringing in millions.
Now you want me to give
you a little bit of money,
or a change and shit
for your little bitty bookstore and shit?
I could do that bro.
That's how you give back.
You already know.
It's not about money.
It's about bringing truth to our people.
Look, Wise, nobody's gonna save us
so we gotta save ourselves,
we gotta save our soul.
So look, how about you and the family,
y'all come to the first annual
Human Excellence Banquet.
It's gonna be a great day.
Nigga fuck that banquet, nigga.
Like I told you before,
you see where we at?
We in the projects,
this shit is in us bro.
It's in you, it's in me, from
our fathers, uncles, cousins,
all of that shit.
Been feeding the hood forever.
I think you don't realize that
you is a fucking gangster.
No, I was born to be a human being.
[Wise] Oh really?
To use my mind. That's what a man does.
Oh, so you (indistinct) down there?
Who the fuck gonna save you?
God got me.
Oh God got you, huh?
Hope you (indistinct) your
ass off the hood nigga.
(Omari speaks indistinctly)
You good?
Yes, baby.
Well and it's been a
rough six weeks on Tameka.
And shit really been rough for me.
I feel guilty I turned
Lil T onto this lifestyle
and his sister, Titi got
caught in the cross fire.
Babe, can I ask you something?
What's up?
It's a personal question.
Okay.
When you was younger
did you always wanna be
a dancer or a scammer?
Of course not.
I wanted to be a teacher
or a pediatrician.
Like I wanted to go to college
and life just started happening.
I ended up in the strip
clubs and I became a dancer.
That's when I started taking pills
and scamming niggas like
I was robbing 'em too.
I just, I lost my whole identity.
Diamond, listen, bruh, I
know exactly what you mean.
When I picked that gun
up. I got on them street.
I started taking niggas out
left and right. (indistinct)
But babe, when I was
young I wanted to be a cop
or a lawyer, not a street nigga.
Listen, those street niggas
and club people. We the same.
It's like we all are selling something
we really don't wanna sell.
And we all out hustling and taking risks.
I ain't...
I haven't never thought
about it like that.
We are all hustlers. Man.
Babe, I just want the way out.
Of the game?
Yes babe. The game.
I want a way out of the game.
See the bag over there? Pass me that.
(Omari speaks indistinctly)
O? O? What are doing? Are you crazy?
I'm getting rid of my work. I quit.
I'm free.
(upbeat music)
I can't, I can't (indistinct)
Babe, don't you owe
them niggas some money?
Hey yes but later for niggas.
Look, you're beautiful. You gorgeous.
(indistinct) down at the club.
You're extremely smart, babe.
Why do you have to scam?
You can sit with me. Be with me, baby.
Let's be free together, me and you.
Free?
Yes, baby, free.
We used to do whatever
the fuck we wanted to do.
For starters we can go back to college.
We still got that half a ticket
we took from (indistinct)
And I still got some pay from hustling.
A fresh start.
Leave the club and be a teacher?
Man, fuck that club baby. Yes.
Say it with me, I'm free.
I'm free.
No, say it like...
Look, say it like you mean it, I'm free.
I'm free.
(indistinct) say I'm free.
I'm free. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
What does this mean?
We can do whatever, we can go wherever.
That means you're not a slave to the club.
I'm no a slave to the street no more.
I got you. God got us.
(indistinct) We got each other.
You got me and I got you.
I love you.
I love you too.
(upbeat music)
I'm free.
Yeah.
[Diamond] Yes, I'm free.
(calm music)
(birds chirping)
Bro, who the fuck that (indistinct)

Youngeen, you tight?
Always, they move funny.
I'm about to spark this whole shit up.

Man, please, fell off?
Probably fall back but fell off?

Yo. I'm gonna handle that shit, bro.
Don't even worry about it.
Niggas move funny, they dead.
-All right Youngeen.
-I ain't moving on that.
We ain't moving on that. I

Matter of fact, I need you

Get in contact with these people?
Make this shit right.
Getting in contact with
these people. Pay 'em back.
O, what the are you talking about, bro?

All those years Muck

Shit ain't cool.
Yeah, well I'm sure he forgive you.
He's not the type of
person to hold grudges.
Nah, Alice, listen I'm

Me and Muck was best friends.
What the hell happened?
Well, knowing him, if
y'all was best friends.
You more like a brother to him.
So brothers and sisters fight.

But that don't change the love, you know?
I feel you. But look,

I flushed four birds
down the fucking toilet.
I turned my back on the hood.
Look, I'm not promoting violence
or rapping the 12th other Oaks

You married a good nigga, man.
Oh, I know.

He held the bag for me. Right.
So I went and did my time.
What he didn't know was a
hundred thousand in that bag.
I did my time.
I came back, and just a hundred
thousand in a bag still.
Not a dime missing. That's when I knew.
That was a different type nigga, boy.
-Oh yeah, absolutely.
-That's him all day. (laughs)
That's my man.
I gotta keep real with you though.
I was snick a little jealous
'cause of my mindset.
I'm like how can any one man
have this much discipline?
Anybody have discipline,
We just gotta make a choice.

community narrative, huh?
Oh my god. We about to take over.

(calm music)
(bell rings)
(latch clicks)
(shoes clacking)
Seriously, Danny, why
is my family on this wall?
I didn't even know you was coming.
Okay, look.
Your family just so happens to be
at the top of my investigation.
So I'm doing my job.
You really need to
let this go. Seriously.
Muckmud did his time. He is done.
Just let my nephew be. Let my family be.
Did your nephew tell you
that I paid him a visit
down at the court the other day?
Look, I tried to handle this
the best way that I can.
Now it's outta my hands.
It's been elevated to the next level
and he is the next person in line.
Okay, so this is about us
because what else would it be?
Of course, I still
have feelings for you.
Very strong.
But I gotta do my job
regardless of what history
you and I have.
Your family, they're going down.
I came to give you a
warning. Leave my family alone.
That's your last warning, Danny.
(shoes clacking)
[Detective Daniels] Vanessa.
What the hell is going on?
What is this?
You know why you're here?
No. Why?
I was just locked up.
Well, let's just say that
I work for a very important man
and you and I could help each other out.
Man, what is this about?
Take me back to jail. We
got waffles in the morning.
Terrance. Look, you
were caught red handed.
Okay, I'll go do my time.
Okay, see right here.
This is the gun that you used
in retaliation for your sister Tiana.
And there were on ballistics
on this, you're cooked.
But let's just say that
magically another weapon
finds its way into the evidence locker.
They run ballistics on that, no match.
And pretty sure you're free to go.
Plus the only other witness
miraculously died of a drug overdose.
So no one to even testify against you.
Why would you do that though?
One word. Muckmud.
You take him out before this
banquet and you are a free man.
If you don't, you'll rot in prison
for probably the rest of your life.
Not to mention something
happening to Miss Price,
your sweet mother. Your baby mama, Quanda.
Now what do they have to do with this?
How about this, 30
seconds you make a choice,
yes or no in or out or
I blow your head off.
What is it? What's it gonna be?
All right. All right, I'm in.
Switch the guns out and get me outta jail
and I kill that nigga Muckmud tonight.
Good. I knew you'd
make the right choice.
I knew it. We're gonna keep
this as insurance though
in case you change your mind.
Y'all got my word.
I don't give a fuck about
that nigga, Muckmud.
I'm gonna handle that shit.
Just make sure you stay
away from our family.
Yeah.
And one more thing.
I need a plug on that dope.
Baby.
(door thuds)
Diamond.
We gotta get moving, come on.
(dramatic music)
