[OLDER KANAN]
Previously on Raising Kanan
I need the cash, and I need it now.
You find someone to take
this shit off my hands,
and I'll make sure you get
a nice cut of the dough.
I may have a buyer from overseas,
- who'd be interested in it.
- [CAMERA CLICKING]
Who's supplying your horse?
You just want my heron connect?
Why the fuck didn't just ask?
Why we got to go through all this?
- [GUN CLICKS]
- [PANTING]
Now give me the fucking name,
or I'ma load this shit up.
My parents are saying
I can never see you again.
Your parents are right, Aisha,
you shouldn't be with me.
Those police
still trying to scare you?
They said another neighbor
saw a Black guy
coming out of the house.
What you do?
Guess I'ma need you to get
the cop to look into it.
Anything Baptiste touched
is potentially tainted.
I didn't know they were
gonna have him killed.
- Who made the call?
- Ishmael and Stephanie Henry.
- Snaps and Pop.
- They killed Fame?
With some help from the police.
And no side hustles
this time around, Breeze.
Your work is our work.
- Who are you?
- Y'all fucking with me now.
I kept my dad from
beatin' you to fuckin' death
because I thought-
I thought maybe there
was more to this.
You ain't about shit, Kanan.
I panicked, I didn't know what to do.
Nah, you ain't panic,
you protected Kanan.
I'm all fucked up out here, Lou-Lou.
I don't even know what I'm doin'.
Anybody fucks with my
tenants, they fuck with me.
We already cut Raq off at the knees.
I want her cut off
at the fucking neck.
We have found another partner.
You fuckin' with
Stefano and all of them?
He makin' you kick me to the curb.
You don't know shit
about where I'm from.
You about to find out.
How many more wars you
tryin' to have at the same time?
As many as it take to win.
- I don't have time for this.
- Ain't gonna take long.
[GUNSHOTS]
You gon' put down Raq?
It's about showin'
who the fuck we are.
- I appreciate the opportunity.
- Best of luck Jarita.
You, too.
You workin' with Raq?
I got beef with her.
And who the fuck are you, exactly?
Her son.

[RILEYY VOCALIZATION]
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
[OLDER KANAN] When you hustlin',
you ain't thinkin'
about nobody but you.
You tellin' yourself it's for
all your peoples, your family,
but fuck outta here with all that.
This about you, nigga.
Always been about you.
But when shit get ill,
that's when you start
thinkin' about your people.
You worry they gonna
pay for what you did.
That they gonna die
behind your bullshit.
So you don't sleep, don't eat,
damn near don't even breathe.
And you keep asking yourself
the same shit
over and over and over again.
What the fuck did I do?
What the fuck did I do?
She and her brother must die.
Well, look, first let
me express my condolences.
I mean, when you're
in our line of work, we-
We often lose sight
of the-the human cost.
And, frankly, that's-that's
the highest price we pay.
So I'm-I'm sorry for your loss,
and it's a fucking tragedy.
I am concerned
that killing her might offend
your colleague in Manhattan.
And I don't want that kind of trouble.
Without you and the Colombian,
Raq's business is done.
Fini. Kaput.
And if her business is dead,
she's of no use to Pino Bernardi.
[CHUCKLES]
If you ain't a paycheck for Pino,
you ain't worth his while.
Let me handle her, Hafiz.
I owe Raq and her brother
bullets to the head for quite a while.
Time to pay off that debt.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
John.
[RAQ] She tell you what it's about?
Just said we need to meet.
You hittin' that?
I keep tellin' you,
ain't nothin' like that been
goin' on between me and Flossie.
Ain't no judgment here, nigga.
Just tryin' to see if you got
a close enough connect to her
that could help us smooth out
any shit that might be rough.
We just talk, that's all.
Here she come. [CLEARS THROAT]
How can anyone live
anywhere but New York?
I don't get it.
So your son broke into
my apartment last night.
I don't know if he was there
to kill me or scare me,
and I don't care one way or the other.
Look, Kanan just a confused,
angry kid who
He told me he swapped out those drugs
that killed the judge.
And he also told me that you knew.
You lied to me.
Did you know?
We're done.
I've already let Pino Bernardi know.
I'm gonna miss talking to you, Marvin.
Our conversations meant a lot to me.
Me too.
This shit can be fixed.
Your brother is the only
reason you're not dead already.
So don't press your luck.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Your girl just fucked us.
Nah, we fucked ourselves.
I told you I was gonna scare her.
That's what I did.
But you didn't scare her, Kanan.
You pissed her off.
And Flossie Siegal ain't
someone you wanna piss off.
I wanted her to stop working with Raq,
and that's what she gon' do.
And she was real clear she
wasn't gon' do nothin' to you.
You good.
You said that you and me
are the same, but we not.
I'm not like you. I'm not like this.
The fuck did you think was gon' happen
when I walked in there
with my gat out?
I don't know. I don't know
why I started helping you
with this shit in the first place.
This whole thing with you
has fucked with my head.
You was all sweet and nice to me.
I didn't, I didn't,
I didn't believe it.
I didn't believe you.
But then once you told me
you was playin' me,
I started to trust you.
Treat me good and I don't trust you.
Lie to me and I do.
What the fuck does that say about me?
I mean, how much do I hate myself?
Obviously, I think
that I deserve to be lied to,
deserve to be played with,
treat me like shit
and I'll even help you set up my boss,
who kills people.
Like I said, Flossie ain't gonna
do shit to you, Jarita.
But I ain't got time to listen
to all this noise right now.
Fuck you, Kanan.
Fuck you too, bitch.
That shit between us
wasn't ever real anyway.
♪♪♪
We gonna hit that pawnshop.
Knock that shit to the fuckin' ground!
Fuck Stefano, fuck Snaps,
fuck Pop, fuck Breeze,
fuck all of 'em.
Fuck Kanan too, though.
We go in blastin' and he there,
he gonna get dropped.
See, you want to be at war
with all these niggas,
but you real choosy on who we killin'.
Kanan still a kid, Marvin.
He don't know what the fuck he doin'.
D-Wiz was a kid.
So was that bike nigga we put down.
And Scrap wasn't even much older
than Kanan.
Don't seem like you got a issue
killin' other people kids.
You wanna kill your nephew?
Is that what you want?
I don't want nothin'
to do with none of this shit.
But I'm in too deep now
to get the fuck out,
so, I'ma follow your lead,
until we get to wherever
the fuck we goin'.
Hit the pawn shop
and bring Kanan to me.
You'd do the same shit if it was Juke.
♪♪♪
[DOOR CLOSES]
This shit is a fuckin' mess.
Detective Garcia.
Come on in.
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
Just got word.
The Thomases are fair game.
Raq and her brother
ain't got no friends no more.
So it's open season.
Stefano wants us to handle it.
But you and Kanan gon' do the work.
It's Kanan's fam, though.
It's a lot to ask.
This will be a good
measuring stick for him.
Young Kanan is always
sayin' he's with us.
Time to put some walk
behind all that talk.
You gon' take out Raq.
Don't wanna take a chance
on Kanan freezin' up
when it comes to his mother.
But we gonna insist that
Kanan pull a trigger here.
We need to see how committed
and dedicated he really is.
Kanan's with us, man.
That don't necessarily mean
he gone be cool
with droppin' his own peoples.
We his peoples now.
He got a problem with it,
then he's the problem.
And Kanan knows
how we handle problems.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
A number of people say
that they saw you having
a heated conversation
with Captain Baptiste
at his retirement party.
In light of his suicide,
we're wondering what
the subject matter
of that conversation
was and whether it might
give us some sense of Captain
Baptiste's mental state.
Honestly, I don't even remember.
We were just talking shit.
Baptiste owed me some money off
some bet we made on the Jets,
and I was giving him
a hard time about it.
That's all.
Captain Baptiste gamble regularly?
No, no, it wasn't anything like that.
It was for dinner at
Peter Luger or some bullshit.
Captain Baptiste was under
investigation for corruption
by our office as well as the
F.B.I., Detective Garcia.
Any insight on him
that you might be able to
provide us would be invaluable.
Get the hell out of here.
Baptiste was about as
by the book as you get.
[CHUCKLES]
Depends on what book
you're talking about.
Look,
Captain Baptiste was good to me.
I don't have a bad word
to say about him.
Far as I'm concerned,
he was a great cop
and an even better man.

Thought you didn't want
to fuck with me no more.
I don't,
but I know who killed Fame.
Is was Snaps and Pop.
They was worried he was
talkin' to the police.
Where you hear that?
I got somebody who knows.
The shit's true.
You down to make this right
for Fame, or not?
♪♪♪
I just told you
that I know who killed
your best friend,
and you ain't got nothin' to say?
You told me before
I wasn't about shit,
now you lookin' for an assist.
I ain't lookin' for shit, nigga.
I'm just tryin' to give you the chance
to get payback for your boy.
- Fame always talked too much.
- The fuck that mean?
That mean, if you out here snitchin',
you gon' pay a price.
If Fame was talkin',
he got what he deserve.
He was your best fuckin' friend.
I ain't worryin'
about niggas who gone.
Niggas who gone
like Uncle Lou, you mean?

Being a friend of yours,
dangerous business.
Well, that should
only make me stronger.
Sharpen my focus.
You know,
if you could package
and sell that confidence,
you'd have 'em
lined up down the block.
They already lined up down
the block for what I'm sellin'.
Well, you don't
have much left to sell,
and you don't have a way to sell it.
I'm through with you.
Mr. Bernardi-
There's nothin' left to say.
She's leavin'.
Let's go.

Anybody who ever bet against me,
has lost.
You already lost.

We wanna get a look in the trunk.
You're gonna need a warrant for that.
Your brother's been
placed under arrest
for driving under the influence.
That allows us
full access to your vehicle.
Whoa.
Mr. Lawyer, you wanna
come here for a minute?
What's all this?
That shit ain't ours.
I don't know how it got there.
They know it was you.
The little girl didn't
identify you by name,
but she confirmed
that the perp was Black,
and they know you have a long
standing relationship with her.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Just cause I've been lookin'
after Amber,
don't mean I killed nobody.
Got me confused with the wrong nigga.
They have two neighbors
that got a good look at you
exiting the home.
They feel confident about their case.
Fuck their case.
As far as the three
of us are concerned,
this is it.
Like I told your daughter,
you stay outta my way,
I'll stay out of yours.
Juke lookin' all worried!
I'm good, I promise.
Those fools been chasin' me
since I could walk,
but I'm too fast, girl.
I'm Carl Moses out here.
[UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCOOTER ENGINES REVVING]
Heard from Snaps and Pop that
you pressed up on that pimp
who been helpin'
your mom's move that work.
Guess you forgot
to hip me to that shit.
I mean, Stefano and all them
happy you did it.
You took out what was
left of Raq business,
who the fuck am I to beef
with you about it?
Wasn't really somethin' I planned.
Kinda just showed itself to me,
so I made the move.
We got another move we
gon' need to make, nigga.
We gon' get a little messier
than runnin' up
in some white bitch apartment.
Especially for you.
Your name's come up
in another investigation,
Miss Thomas.
And while it doesn't fall under
Agent Tanner's purview,
you just might be able
to help him with his case,
which in turn could
help you with yours.
I don't need no help,
'cause y'all ain't got
no case against me.
Can you get specific
about this new and mysterious
investigation into my client?
Or are we just supposed
to take you at your word?
Miss Thomas recently sold
a piece of property
to an individual who's been
under investigation
for quite some time by the
Joint Terrorism Task Force.
We have reason to believe,
and a preponderance of evidence
that suggests, your client
was assisting said individual
in an elaborate money laundering
scheme.
You talkin' about that bullshit mall?
I never even met that motherfucker.
My broker set the whole shit up.
I just signed the papers.
Yeah, and you cashed the check.
We've been following you
for months, Miss Thomas.
We have surveillance
of you meeting with both
Stefano Marchetti and Pinot
Bernardi on multiple occasions.
Tell us the nature
of your relationships with them,
and there may be a discussion
to be had
about these money laundering charges.
As of this moment, there are no
money laundering charges.
You could expect them. I promise.
Fuck you and your promises.
I wouldn't be here offering you a deal
if we didn't have you
dead to rights Miss Thomas.
I wouldn't waste my time.
But you are wasting your time
and mine.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I told 'em that I'd take out Raq.
Ain't tryin' to put you
through all that.
Shit's a lot to ask.
I figured you and your mans
got beef already
after he knocked you
around like he did.
So you doin' him make more sense.
Don't make as much sense as you think.
So you wanna do Raq?
I'm just sayin'
I got more beef with her,
than I do with my uncle.
You gon' have to put down one of 'em.
Snaps and Pop sayin' that they
need to see
that you dedicated.
Fuck them old ass niggas.
How 'bout they killed my best friend
and I ain't takin' 'em
the fuck out for it?
That dedicated enough?
- How you hear that?
- Don't matter.
I know the shit's true,
but it don't matter.
And I don't give a fuck anyway.
You tell 'em I'll do this work,
but not cause I need
to prove shit to them
and nobody else.
I'm doin' it for me.
Fuck they talkin' about after I left?
There's a money trail.
First off, the buyer paid
roughly thirty percent more
than the fair market value
for the property.
He paid what he thought it was worth.
Fuck am I supposed to do?
Turn down the money?
You also paid your broker
a sizable amount of cash that
he gave back to the buyer,
to the F.B.I.
That looks to be an obvious kickback.
That was his fee for sellin' my shit.
Ain't my business what
he did with the money
after I gave it to him.
You paid your broker
significantly more
than what is considered
industry standard.
I told him if he sold it quick,
I hit him off for something extra.
Unfortunately, that's not
what he told the F.B.I.
He said that this was an agreed
upon scheme between him,
you and the buyer.
Feds just cookin' up
this shit to get me to flip.
Maybe so,
But that doesn't change
our circumstance.
We're in a bad place here.
[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING]
What's that all about?
Just countin' 'em up.
You countin' your gats.
Always good to know
what you got on hand.
What you want, Juke?
What you gonna do about
what Garcia was talkin' about?
I keep tellin' you,
I-I ain't worried about that.
All they got is the word of
some scared little white girl.
Well, scared little white girls
been killin' us forever.
Look, I appreciate you bein'
worried about me, but I'm good.
You're not.
And I don't know if it's
because you don't care
or you've given up
or you don't see it,
or maybe you don't want to see it,
but everything goin' bad.
And I don't-I don't want
nothin' to happen to you.
I can't have nothin' happen to you.
You always been here for me.
Just you.
Even through the bullshit,
we figured it out.
You figured it out.
And I'ma keep figurin' it out.
Always.

You don't like nothin' unsaid,
but you didn't say nothin' though,
'bout puttin' down Fame.
You said it was my moms who did it.
Somebody's feeding
you bad information, son.
We didn't have anything to do
with what happened to your friend.
Why the fuck would we care
about what some stick-up kid
in Southside sayin'?
You thought he was
talkin' to the police?
And you knew me and him was friends,
so you thought maybe
he was tellin' on y'all.
Who's sayin' this to you, Kanan?
Because whoever they are,
they have their own agenda.
They want to sow
dissension between us.
They tryin' to throw salt in the game.
Turn us against each other.
It's a lie, son.
Baseless, contemptible, shameful lies.
And frankly, it's disconcerting
that you believe 'em.
I mean, how we gon' be partners
if you don't trust us?
Maybe it wasn't y'all.
Shit, I don't even know.
[SNAPS] We know. It wasn't us.
But now, in light of
your accusations against us,
we're having a crisis of faith
when it comes to
you and your allegiance.
We need to know you with us, baby.
We need to know you on our side.

[RAQ EXHALES HEAVILY]
This nigga Breeze a problem.
But we got answers.
Ain't no different than all the
niggas that came before him.
DefCon, High Post, even 'Nique.
And where the fuck are they now?
They gone and we still here.
And Breeze just the same
as all of 'em.
And he gonna go out
just like them too.
Maybe he the same,
but we different.
I don't know if it's
'cause we aged out the game
or 'cause we lost our way.
But the streets ain't ours no more,
and we ain't gettin' 'em back.
Well, as long as we got work,
we got the streets, Marvin.
And we still got product
from Joaquin and Hafiz left.
We can be back up in a hour.
We marks out here.
Them Italians and Kafghans
comin' for us.
We gonna find our way.
We always do.
Can I ask you somethin'
without you gettin'
all mad at me and shit?
Depend on the question.
When we first started out,
it was all about money and rep.
It's about walkin' down the block
and havin' fools
get the fuck out of the way
'cause they knew you was that nigga.
'Cause they knew you were certified.
'Cause they knew you handled
your fuckin' business.
And that shit felt good.
And that was the most fuckin'
fun I ever had.
But even after we got all
that, it wasn't enough.
We wasn't satisfied like
we thought we would be.
And so we got more.
And more.
And even more after that.
But the more we got,
the more we seen,
it just was never gon' be enough.
It was like the harder
we chased the shit,
the more it got away from us.
The money and the work.
Ain't never gon' fix
what's wrong, Raq.
Ain't never gonna fill
the hole in our fuckin' hearts.
And the hole in your heart is Kanan.
Breeze,
Stefano, 'Nique
none of them niggas matter to you.
Truth is,
Me and Lou don't really mean
nothin' to you neither.
That's not true.
Somehow you got in your head
that you doin' all this shit,
is gonna get your son to love you.
Or at least get him to see you
how you want him to see you.
But it won't.
'Cause Kanan, just like the game:
The more you push,
the further away that shit gon' get.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
She got a gun. I saw it.
We all got guns,
and the shit was
probably Marvin's anyway.
I'm tellin' you, she's gon' do
somethin' crazy, Kanan.
You gotta go check on her.
Me and Juke ain't really
talkin' right now.
And if she is plannin'
somethin' crazy with that gat,
most likely she comin' for me,
so you should probably get
the fuck out of here.
Don't even joke like that.
I don't even know
if that shits a joke.
I got shit to do.
You gotta bounce, Iesha.
Thomases always kickin' me out.
Somehow you still not gettin'
the fuckin' message.
[POPS] What are you gonna say
to Breeze?
I'm gonna say to him exactly
what the fuck he needs to hear.
We would have done the same shit
