Death Trap

1
[DUFFY] Man, she been on his dick
- since you left for the Lou.
- [MEECH] Man, she just hustling
to get her money like everybody else.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS]
[JIN] Just had drinks with Henri.
I'm doing my own undercover operation.
You said she likes pretty ladies.
I checked with the guard
at the juvie facility.
The visitors' log showed
that Tyson signed in
right before Kevin got his protection
and again right before he lost it.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
This talented brother right
here where have you been?
He's a really great songwriter too.
Get in touch with my manager.
We need a new mechanic ASAP.
We still need eyes on the
motherfuckers Glock and Remi.
I'm trying to propose
a sit-down with you
and some of the other ATL peeps.
[GRUNTING]
You just dug your own grave, nigga.
Nigga, you gonna see
Claude again before I will.
Nigga, they don't need you.
Meech, I came to warn you.
I ain't ask you to do that, Angel.
I'm gonna go check out
this new club in Miami.
[GUNSHOTS]
[GRUNTING]
[MEECH] I finally found
what I was looking for,
- but it's in Miami.
- [TERRY] Miami?
Tee, is you coming or you ain't, man?
I'll meet you there.

Not gonna stick your toe in?
[YOUNG TERRY] This
ain't even a real beach.
Sand's got oil in it.
Water's brown.
Even the bugs dropping like flies.
Yeah. I promise you, little bro,
we'll be in the beach in Miami
showing the fuck out like Tony Montana.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Hey.
[AS TONY MONTANA] I never
fucked anybody over in my life
that didn't have it coming.
- You got that?
- [CHUCKLES]
The world is yours.
How many times you think
we've watched Scarface?
Let's see. At least about 50.
Hey, go long, Tee. Come on.
[OLDER MEECH] In this country
Look up.
[OLDER MEECH] they
sell the American dream
by saying it's open to everybody.
But we knew that was a lie.
So like Tony Montana,
me and Tee created our own version
and made it our motherfucking bitch.

Okay, Meechie Montana, what up?
Tee! You made it.
Welcome to Miami, baby.
[TERRY] Man, I can't
believe we actually here.
Yeah, now you see why Tony
wanted to move here and set up shop.
This shit's paradise.
Hell yeah, I can't wait
to hit up South Beach.
Yo, first things first, though.
Wh-what's up with, um,
James Bond the car mechanic?
His name is Francois,
and he's a referral-only
- type of guy.
- [TERRY] Okay.
You see, Mack Attack Hollander,
he's gonna make the
intro tonight for us.
They wanna meet us
tonight at Club Foxxxy.
Mack? The boxer?
You trust him?
Tee, listen to me.
The Red Dogs shut down Atlanta,
the D, the Lou, and Ohio.
If we don't get this French
fuck to chop our cars,
we can't move our shit anywhere.
I'm telling you, man, once
we lock down the mechanic,
man, we become untouchable,
and Atlanta becomes our hub.
[TERRY] Damn.
Oh, my God, don't tell me
you brought this sac chaser
on a fucking work trip.
[TERRY] You just mad you gotta
crank your joystick all by yourself.
- Hey.
- [TERRY] Hey, baby.
Hi, Meech.
Tee, this hotel is so gorgeous.
I love it here.
[TERRY] And it's loving you too, baby.
Can you put some baby oil on me?
I wanna work on my tan lines.
[TERRY] Whatever you want, baby.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Tell me about Francois, Mack.
[SIGHS] He's secretive
as fuck, he trusts nobody,
and he picky with his clients
'cause he don't wanna get caught up,
so he gonna be interviewing you.
So he's on some ego trip.
I mean, how can you blame him?
Shit, he's a real innovator.
Besides, I work well
with all personalities.
We work well with all
yo, what the fuck is she doing here?
Meech, you knew about this?
Hell nah.
Mack told us to come to this club.
[CHUCKLES] Facts.
You can't come to Miami
without coming through Foxxxy.

Meech, what the fuck?
[MEECH] It's the MKs.
Hey, Mack, I think you need to hit them
with the ole one-two.
I got you.
[TERRY] Nah, fuck that. They strapped.
They plugged in with the club security.
Tell Francois we'll holla back.
You need to go right now too.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
Did you know she was
riding with the MKs?
Nigga, they called the Miami Killers
and we in fucking Miami.
I'm talking about Angel.
Going to that club was a death trap.
You set a meeting behind enemy lines
without warning me, like
you pulled in Atlanta.
Tee, our livelihood is at stake,
and you still breathing.
Nigga, we still got a shot.

[OLDER MEECH] The only way
to achieve the American dream
was to become like the
hustlers from the screen.
Except this was real life,
and we almost died a
dozen times along the way,
but we was determined to be
the heroes of our own story.

- [JIN] Bryant.
- [KNOCKING]
Bryant, it's Jin. Open up.

Well, you look like shit.
You smell like it too.
So I got your message the other night.
You said you, uh, had a situation.
[BRYANT GRUNTS]
What happened to your knuckles?
Kevin was on my mind.
I was drinking.
Is that when you called me?
No, I called you after I killed Tyson.
Wait, what the fuck
what the fuck, Bryant?
Look, Kevin is in the ground
so that low-life motherfucker
can walk above it?
Well, you can't just go
around doing whatever the fuck
- you feel like doing!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!
You wanted transparency.
So where's the body?
It's in a strategic spot.
Look, Henri gonna lose her shit
when she find out that
her precious cousin
is up outta here.
And when she does, we'll
catch her in the act.
What if we plant a bug on her
to see what leads she gives us?
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]

Damn, you look good as hell.
[MARKISHA] I'm ready to
go to the Tropicana Market.
- You ready?
- Oh, shit.
Uh, about that, so look,
it's not safe for us
to be here right now.
I'ma need you on resort grounds.
What do you mean it's not safe?
Me and my brother, we-we
pissed some people off,
and we had a close call last night.
Is everything okay?
Markisha, I love you.
I already almost lost you once.
So can you just please stay put?
I've been around this
shit before with Boom.
I know how to handle myself.
No, no, this crew makes Boom and them
look like a fucking
junior varsity squad.
Listen to me, Terry.
You are not gonna ruin my vacation.
If you don't wanna have fun with me,
I can have fun by myself.
Goodbye.
- [GROANS]
- [MEECH] Morning, Markisha.
[MEECH SCOFFS]
I got the address to Francois.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS]
It's go time, baby.

[MEECH] Man, this nigga
Mack had to skip town,
so we gotta hit up
Francois ourselves now.
Apparently, he's pissed we
didn't make it to that meet.
But the less he knows
about the MKs, the better.
Well, shit, I guess I
gotta do the talking, then.
Nigga, you must have forgot.
I'm the face of this
organization, not you.
[PHONE RINGING]
What up, doe?
[JAVIER] Your café ready. You pick up.
What you mean we pick up? Send avión?
[JAVIER] No, only one
piloto that Loco trust.
He's ocupado. You pick up café.
Miami Port. You bring home rápido.
Demitri El Mejor.
Wait, so ho-hold on.
So we gotta drive our shit
all the way back to Atlanta ourselves.
Now, of all times?
This is God's timing, Tee.
Everything'll be perfectly fine, dawg.
Now, Loco only has
one pilot he can trust,
but he's putting his faith in us.
This is another reason
why we have to control
our own shit from the port.
Well, shit, what we waiting
on? Let's trap these cars,
'cause these Red Dogs gon' get our ass.
Shit, what you waiting on, Tee Montana?

Ay.

With all them indictment,
MKs shouldn't be
a problem for us no more.
But that nigga Meech still out there.
According to Claude, he got
what we don't pure weight.
But he a outsider.
And I plan on keeping it like that.
This our home.
Hey, just put eyes and ears out
so ready for his next move.
Bet.

[LIVELY STEEL GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]

- Ooh.
- [BOTH CLAPPING]
Ooh! [LAUGHS]
Beautiful work, man, beautiful work.
How long were y'all standing out there?
[LAUGHS] Long enough.
I just, you know, came a
little early to practice.
That's all.
What?
[BOTH] We want you on tour with us.
A promoter friend booked us
on a six-week gospel circuit.
- Midwest, East Coast.
- Mm-hmm.
Talking churches,
clubs, even a festival.
You should ride with us, Charles.
Uh, listen, I don't know if I can afford
to take off work that long.
Brother, you're going to get paid
to play music and tour with us.
- Mm-hmm.
- Travel, food, accommodations.
And if all goes well,
a residency in Memphis.
How big are these shows?
Oh, it's not the
Chitlin' Circuit, Charles.
You gonna get paid.
And we gonna have some fun.
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYS]

This is like a art gallery.
[TERRY LAUGHING] What the fuck?
Are you sure Mack gave
us the right address?
[MEECH] This shit looks crazy.

Francois.
Hey, I'm Meech. This is Terry.
Mack referred us to you.
So you're the imbecile
who stood me up last night.
Listen, man, we seen the way
you tricked out Mack's Rolls-Royce.
Now we would like an
opportunity to work with you.
Just let us know a
price, and we'll meet it.
[SUCKS TEETH] I'm busy.
- So we'll wait.
- You can leave.
Yo, how much for the sculpture?
Do you know what it represents?
I know what I like.
And I know this creature
protects whoever owns it, so
so how much?
Two hundred.
[LAUGHS] Come on, Francois.
You're an artiste.
Have some pride in
your work. Two-fifty.
[CHUCKLES]
Money doesn't impress me.
Meeting your obligations,
arriving when you say you will,
that is the price of
entry to my business.
[TERRY] Here's a deposit.
We'll be back with the rest tomorrow.
We're trusting that you're
gonna be here, right?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

Supposed to be tricking out our car,
not decorating our house.
Yeah, but I just bought us some time.
I got a surprise that's
gonna win him over.

[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES] Spoke with the
Campbell brothers today.
They really liked my performance.
Well, they ought to, because you played
your heart out the other night.
And they want me to play more.
They invited me to go on tour with them.
- Six weeks.
- What?
- [CHARLES LAUGHS]
- That's amazing.
Oh, my gosh. I'm so proud of you.
Yeah, I earned it.
And, uh, I want you to come with me.
- [BOTH] On tour?
- [CHARLES] Yeah.
We could see parts of the
country we've never seen.
We could eat in fancy restaurants,
sleep in nice hotels.
It'll be like a honeymoon we never had.
Baby, we-we cannot leave Nicole at home
by herself for no six weeks.
Nicole is old enough to mind herself.
She can stay at LaWanda's.
- I'm fine with it.
- [LUCILLE] Girl!
And she's also old enough to
take a box cutter to school
and to get pregnant
without adult supervision.
I told you why I had that knife.
Nicole, go upstairs, please.
I just want us to spend
more time together.
You just wanna have me all to yourself
to the detriment of your family.
Detriment?
What, is-is this about Maurice?
Is that why you wanna stay behind?
I mean, because you could
have the getaway of a lifetime
with your husband.
Instead you wanna stay
with Dr. Spread 'n' Strip.
Listen, your talent is
finally shining through.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
This is your dream.
And if you want it, you should take it.
But don't pretend like it's about us.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Well, don't pretend like staying behind
is about us either.

Chaldeans cut me off.
[RUFUS] The streets are saying

[HENRIETTA] That motherfucker!
Gah!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
- Ooh. Hey, mama.
- Hi.
I got a dirty little secret.
I can't stop thinking about you.
Thinking about me how?
You like my dress?
I like what's underneath it even more.
Do you wanna get outta here?

[HENRIETTA] Let's start with you.
What you do for work, mama?
[R&B MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm a line cook.
I grew up in diners.
Oh, that's where the burning started.

Does the rest of your family cook?
We did when, uh
when we were all together.
Um, I-I need a drink.
Do you have something hard?
[SCOFFS] I got you.
I grew up eating at diners.
Went to Buddy's a lot.
The original one on,
uh on, uh, Conant.
But for my money, the best
in the D is Cadillac Square.
Still going strong
after all these years.
It's the crown jewel.
[HENRIETTA] I'll never
understand why some cities
decide to demolish their landmarks.
It's like a jaguar
cutting off its own tail.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Hope you like bourbon.
Made an old-fashioned.
Um
Sweetie, I ain't holding you back.
If you wanna leave, you can.

- [ANGEL] Meech.
- Yo, where the fuck you been at?
Look, Glock was following
me when I got your page.
It took me a while to get rid of him.
They tracking you to get to me?
I can't let 'em find me.
I can't go back.

I'll never let nobody
hurt you while you with me.
And you was right about
that shit in Atlanta too.
I was just returning the favor.
But that wasn't payback.
That was feelings.

But, you know, I gotta
Yo, what the fuck is she doing here?
Listen, the MKs were following
her, but she gave 'em the slip.
Markisha, you and Angel need to sit here
and don't go nowhere,
just for real this time.
- Yo.
- I don't take orders
from you, Meech.
Listen, if your ass
wanna make it back home
to your boy safely,
I suggest y'all stay
here and don't go nowhere.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
You know how to work this?

Got my head on a swivel.
So you got a strap for me?
'Cause I'm damn sure
not gonna rely on her
- to protect mines.
- [TERRY] All right. All right.
Look, just can you
listen for a second?
I know how to handle mines.
And I know the quicker
you guys get outta here,
the sooner we all can
get the fuck outta here.
All right.

[TERRY] Francois.
We got the rest of your cash.
I wasn't sure if you'd deliver.
[AS TONY MONTANA] There's
only two things in this world
I don't play about.
It's my balls and my word.
[AS TONY MONTANA] And I
don't break 'em for nobody.
[MEECH] That's right. That's right.
See, Scarface is our favorite.
And as you can see, we keep
our word, just like Tony.
Now, I wanted to ask
you something, Francois.
Where you going, man?
You got all this shit packed up.
I move when I get bored
or when riffraff like you appear.
[MEECH] I see. I see.
See, we respect the artist that you are.
We do.
But we want you to set up
shop in Atlanta with us,
and we're gonna pay for your art.
But gonna have the
dream of your lifetime
with a fleet of cars
like Benzes and Porsches
brought right here to you
with an unlimited budget.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Open your garage.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

Damn. What up, doe?
[TERRY] Hey, Hoop. This is Francois.
Francois, Hoop. That's my right hand.
Now, he drove down
something special for you.
Think of yourself like
Michelangelo, right?
And we're the benefactors, the Medicis,
and this is the Sistine Chapel.
Now, I know you said you don't
work on the same car twice.
But not many of these
coming off the assembly line.
The other one's on its way
to Saudi Arabia right now.
How did you get this?
Man, we from the car
capital of the world, homey.
Hey, if it got wheels, we can get it.
And the Porsche, that's our gift to you.
[SCOFFS]

[SPYDER] What up, Tee?
[WERM] What up, Tee?
[MEECH] See, this is
our family right here.
This is Tina, miss from another sis.
This is Duffy right here.
[TERRY] That's Werm, and
that's Spyder, my drivers.
[MEECH] Now, we got Chevy
G20s, shining brand-new.
Astro vans too.
But we need the same safe
like you put in Mack's car
but only bigger.
Now, Francois, your
fleet is gonna be tested
against some of the world best hunters.
I'm talking the Red Dogs.
- Atlanta's Red Dogs?
- [TERRY] Yeah.
And if that shit can
go undetected by them,
it'll go undetected by everyone.
Shit, you could use it
as your calling card.
Okay, look, I don't trap valuables.
I build safes to protect them,
and I don't make modifications.
Okay. We can work with that.
When it comes to your cargo,
I don't ask, you don't tell.
Long as it doesn't have a heartbeat.
Long as you can start now.
Listen, Francois,
everybody you see here,
you can trust with your life.
This is family.
- And we know how you work now.
- [TERRY] Yeah.
So, Hoop, yo, while I'm
down here with Francois,
just go back to the D. I'ma
need you to handle that.
Spyder, Werm, y'all can
chill till we call you.
- Cool.
- Word.
Merci.
Toi, help me break down these vehicles.
"Toi?" What the fuck is "toi"?
[MEECH] Hey, yo, Tee.
I wanted to let you know,
man, good job, for real.
I'ma stay here with
Duffy, unload the work.
But when the shit come,
we sleeping here with it,
and we not leaving

- All right. Love.
- Love.
[MAURICE] You know,

[LUCILLE] I don't feel like drinking.
[SOFT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]
Lucille,

Charles and I just, uh
I don't know, this-this-this
dance that we all doing,
it's just it just has me pulled
in a million different directions and
[MAURICE] Okay.
Tonight I want you to forget about him.
Just focus on us.
We're in one of the most
beautiful restaurants
in the Midwest.
Chef's a good friend.
Most importantly, you look so beautiful,
and we're together.
[LAUGHS] You right.
Um
I'm sorry.
[MAURICE] And I have
it on good authority
dessert will be special.
[LUCILLE LAUGHS]
So
why did you pick this
restaurant with a hotel?
You know, I've spent years wondering
what it would be like to
kiss every part of your body.
Make love to you.
[LUCILLE LAUGHS]

[MAURICE] This opens the
door to the rest of your life.
You wanna open it up with
me or argue about the menu?

I'll wait as long as I have to.
[TENDER MUSIC PLAYS]

It's been a beautiful night.

Wait. Is this okay?
Breeze, shut up.
- [CHARLES] Lucille!
- [DOOR CLICKS SHUT]
- Nicole!
- Oh, shoot. My dad's here.
You gotta go.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

Why didn't you answer me?
I was wrapped up in homework.
Your mom's not home?
No, she went with Dr. Montclair.
Get your coat. We're going out to eat.
Okay, I'ma meet you downstairs.
All right.
[LAUGHING] Now you really gotta go.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS]
[FRANCOIS GRUNTS]
So people think you can install a safe
into a car that's already built.
But a car is not a house.
You can't just renovate it.
You need to rebuild
the car around the safe.
And this will take me a couple of days.
First, foil to insulate from heat.
[TERRY] So how you gonna power this?
[FRANCOIS] I'll use a
separate motor for the wipers.
Dead silent.
And then I'll run a cable to the safe
so no one will hear it when it opens.
But what about the combo thing
that we saw, uh, in the Rolls?
Ah, good memory.
But yours must be unique to you
and impervious to others, huh?
[TIRES SQUEALING]

Tell Francois to take a break.
Help me unload the Colombian coffee.

[HENRIETTA] Any word on Tyson?
[RUFUS] His place is
clean. His car's parked.
We can't find him.
Whatever we get on this
wire won't be admissible
'cause we ain't cops anymore.
Sometimes you gotta meet the bad guys
at they own level.
I want my badge back, Bryant.
And there's nobody at PD we can trust.
I'm gonna ask Cobie's
dad, Councilman Amberson,
to help us take these fuckers down.
Shit, you gonna be running
the DRANO task force.
I'm sure GQ will love reporting to you.
[SCOFFS] Nah.
I got other plans.
I'm thinking of lateraling out.
Yeah, well, let's not put
the cart before the horse.
Remember, we doing this
for Kevin and Cobie.
So this shit gotta work.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Saw your grades went up.
Everything going on, that
couldn't have been easy.
Breeze helped me a-a lot.
You two have been, uh,
hanging for a minute.

Yeah, he's, uh
he's my boyfriend now.

Tell me about him.
He's really good at
calculus, like next level.
He can hoop.
And he has a couple
jobs to help his mom.
I used to do that for my pops.
I think that's one of the things
I like the most about him.

[CHARLES] You know, I
wasn't much older than you
when I met your mom.

You got a lot of time in front of you.
Don't rush anything.

Are you saying you regret
dating Mama and staying with her?
I'm saying
in life, something starts out sweet
can turn sour later.
Get to know yourself before
you know anybody else.

I already know
everything I need to know.
[CHUCKLES] Like what?
Like I'll never let Breeze treat me
the way you treated Mama.
I didn't mean it like that.

Yes, you did.
It's okay.

Let the rain fall down upon her ♪
[FRANCOIS] Okay, Monsieur Terry,
try the combination.
[TERRY] All right. Let's do it.
The safe only opens with a combo.
The car has to be in park.
Hit the brakes, light, washer, and radio
all at the exact same time.
There you have it.
You motherfucker.
[TERRY CHUCKLES]
Now, if you don't know
the combination or the timing,
the safe won't open.
- Yeah, what about finding it?
- [FRANCOIS] Pssh.
You would need a chain saw
sharp enough to cut metal,
strong enough to split
the vehicle in half.
I never met a Frenchman before,
but you're quickly becoming my favorite.
[CHUCKLES] Wild-ass French fuck.
Like Jordan at a dunk contest.
Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, not Jordan, now.
Ah, I like Dominique Wilkins.
The fuck is you talking about?
Hey, Tee, I'm hard on you
because I know what you capable of.
For real man. This shit is fire.
[TERRY] Every dog has his day, right?
No, I'm serious, man.
This is the blueprint for
the rest of our lives, man.
Like, you know that, right?
Once we control our distribution,
we control the whole board.
[SCOFFS]
Then we can name our price.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

[DOG BARKS]

Word on the street, Meech had a run-in
with the MKs in Miami.
Miami?
The fuck he risk going to
enemy territory like that for?
Probably picking up that
pure shit at the port
and driving it back.
Couple of my guys saw his
girl that work at the store
and his right-hand man
driving vans out of Atlanta.
Yeah?
We ain't finna let no more
outsiders in our city, goddamn.

Given our history, I
wanted to personally extend
my condolences.
How do you want us to
handle the investigation?
I'll handle it.
- I wanna see him.
- No, you do not.
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Tyson, Tyson.
Nah, cuz.
No, no, no, no, this can't be happening.
[RUFUS] Where'd you find him?
In a dumpster off Outer
Drive in Jefferson.
I'll leave you with your family.
[HENRIETTA SOBBING]
That's around the corner from
Terry Flenory's restaurant.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
I'ma fucking kill him.
Henrietta, you will not.
You will not.

[BLAZE] I warned you
to leave Terry alone,
and now he's retaliated
because of your petulance.
[HENRIETTA] Then get Major One-Time
to pull a trigger.
You already paying him.
I knew that piece of shit
Garr was in bed with Blaze.
I saw them at the gambling
spot the other night.
I told you this is way
bigger than any of us.
So what's the play, then?
I say we follow the path
that Henri leads us on,
let her and Terry shoot it out.
Self-cleaning oven.
And whoever's left standing, we get
GQ to make the arrests.
No, we can't trust
anybody at the department.
We go above all their
heads and reach out
to Councilman Amberson, like you said.
He was trying to reconnect
with Cobie before she died.
With his help, we might
be able to take down
a couple of Ecorse PD's finest too.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
And the good guys win.

Tee, where's Meech?
He's next door.
We sat here for two days
waiting on your asses.
We been guarding the weight
while the mechanic built the safes.
You haven't got any of my messages?
You couldn't tell me that in person?
I haven't had no damn time.
Our entire organization's
in fucking jeopardy,
including this fucking
lifestyle that I'm paying for.
What the fuck did you just say?
Look, you need to go
home now, all right?
I just booked you a flight.
Go home? We supposed to be on vacation.
We still got another week here.
Me and Meech gotta drive the weight
all the way to Atlanta.
You can't ride with us.
Bosses don't drive
their own weight, Tee.
Grunts do.
Look at you, still listening
to everything Meech tells you to do.
You know, I've been busting
my ass since we landed here,
sweating while making
sure you're comfortable.
I've been whipping up
extra work back home
just to provide for
everything you fucking need.
And you got the nerve to question me?
I'm not your fucking night nurse.
We supposed to be here as a couple.
I could have stayed home to be doing
whatever the fuck I wanted to do
instead of being on
this dumbass vacation.
Oh, like fucking that cop Vince?
Oh, so that's why you invited me here?
'Cause you thought I
was gonna fuck Vince?
I almost died 'cause
of this relationship.
And I still held it down
from a fucking hospital bed.
This is not the right
place or the right time
for this conversation.
So you need to pack your shit,
and we're gonna have this talk at home.
You know what? Fuck you, Terry.
Fuck you.
The only thing that's
gonna be waiting for you
when you get home is LaWanda
and her milk-stained bras.
Fuck you.
[LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
[MEECH] Man, where the fuck
is Tee's tender-dick ass?

'Bout time, nigga.
Where's Markisha?
- Fuck off, Meech.
- [CHUCKLES]
- What's up?
- Hey, Tee.
Rough time in paradise, huh?
Oh, shit. Come on, hurry up.
Monsieur.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

[TERRY] Shit.
- Did you fucking set us up?
- Fuck you, Terry.
His homies must have had eyes on us.
[TERRY] Shit.


Shit, Glock is right by the door.
[MEECH] My ride's right there.
Let's see if we can get to
it without him seeing us.
No, let's see if we can leave
from the other side of the bar.
There's an exit.

Fuck. Shit.
[TERRY] We can't go that way.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

[ANGEL] Shit. My purse.
[MEECH] Get her out. Get her out.
[GRUNTING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[GUNFIRE]

[GLOCK GROANS]

[GASPING]
[PEOPLE SPEAKING CREOLE]
[ENGINE REVVING]

Everybody get in they cars right now.
Fucking MKs right behind us.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
If you wanna live, get in the car
and follow my brother right now.
Duffy, Spyder, y'all take the Astros.
Tee, Werm, y'all take the Chevys.
Listen, Francois, I need you
to take Tina and Angel right now.
- What about you?
- There's a lookout at South Beach.
I'll meet you there, all right?
Let's go.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]

[DOOR CLICKS SHUT]
- Hey.
- Hey.
You know, I-I need to give
Phil and Chuck an answer.
Okay, so what you wanna do?
[CHUCKLES]
I-I wanna know what it
feels like to go on tour
and play with a professional band.
I don't know, it-it sounds like
you're asking for my permission.
But you know you know you don't
have to do that with me.
No, I'm asking again
for you to come with me
as my wife.
[LUCILLE] Listen, um
Charles, I-I mean,
the truth is that,
I don't know, I-I-I think
I'm in love with Maurice.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
So that's it.

You-you just giving up on us.

I just feel like
if I stay in the marriage that I'm
I'm giving up on myself.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
[TERRY] Fuck.
[DUFFY] Hey, man, Meech
still ain't answering.
Gimme the phone.
You not dialing right.
You know, if anybody else did that,
I'd punch in they numbers.

Fuck.
Shit.

[GROANS]
Your brother's resourceful, yes?
Yeah.
Is that what I think it is?
I saw them on my father.
He died when I was young.
I wanted to remember I had a family.
Damn, I'm sorry.
But-but ain't that, you
know, kind of disrespectful,
taking his pain and making it yours?
Nah.
We carry our family's trauma
whether we want to or not.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
My father used to say pain is forever
but life is for the living.
Huh?
So here we are.
Living.
- [DUFFY] Motherfucker.
- [TINA] Meech!
[MEECH] Goddamn, y'all
crying like Toni Braxton
got shot or some shit.
[TINA] Look, I'd trade in Toni and Anita
to make sure you alive.
Yeah, you fucking late.
So what now?
[MEECH] Gas up and get
the hell out of Miami.
Got you.
I'm glad you okay.
We'll see you at home.
[MEECH] See you.

Finally made it to South
Beach, like you always wanted.
The world is ours, Tee.
Hey, yo, real spit,
I was kind of angry
when you went to the Lou
instead of hanging back
there in the D with me,
you know, but that shit
forced me to make decisions.
I guess I was getting
a little too comfortable
being number two.
And now?
Since you been gone, shit,
I know what it's like being number one.
And that shit ain't comfortable.
Well, you right about that.
Now it's time to take over the world.

You's a fool, Joe.
[LAUGHS]
- [HENRIETTA] Hoop!
- [GUNSHOTS]

And tell Terry he's next!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[MEECH] Man, what the fuck?
We been out here for over an hour.
Ain't nobody tell us why
we got pulled over yet.
Anonymous tip.
And plus, we don't know you,
but we damn sure know your type.
Hey, yo, can y'all stop playing
and just give us back our car, please?
[HARDY LAUGHS] We ain't playing.
Man, these going to impound.
- What?
- You heard me, man.
- [GLASS SHATTERS]
- Whoo. Broken taillight.
Man, that's my motherfucking car.
[MOCKINGLY] That's my motherfucking car.
[LAUGHTER]
Good shit, Twolips.
And if you two niggas know like I know,
you'll turn around and walk away.

Let's go, dogs. [LAUGHS]
[MEECH] Bitch ass.
[HARDY] Out of my
motherfucking way, man. You too.
I wonder who gave them this fucking tip.
If they find out what's
in that fucking van, man
Yeah, they won't.
They're called safes for a reason.
Yeah, but that's everything we had,
everything we worked for, bro.
Clearly, somebody's helping them.
[OLDER MEECH] Me and Tee was watching
our American dream drive away.
There was no fucking way
I was gonna let our story end like this.
In my version, I'm the
savior and the champion.
I always win in the end.
