What are you thinking, dijah?
5
00:00:06,407 --> 00:00:07,356
I'm thinking about my daughter.
6
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:09,158
I had a long talk
with paul davis today.
7
00:00:09,243 --> 00:00:10,492
He wants to bring us in
8
00:00:10,578 --> 00:00:12,578
on two commercial towers
on wilshire.
9
00:00:12,697 --> 00:00:14,329
Did you ever think
you'd be in the position
10
00:00:14,415 --> 00:00:16,331
to give away
a quarter million dollars?
11
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:18,283
You protect my family.
12
00:00:18,369 --> 00:00:19,518
I promise.
13
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:21,553
This is only
about exposing the cia.
14
00:00:21,655 --> 00:00:23,572
New munitions, new suppliers.
15
00:00:23,674 --> 00:00:25,507
We are as committed as ever
to winning this war.
16
00:00:25,593 --> 00:00:26,625
You keep telling me
what you need,
17
00:00:26,711 --> 00:00:28,243
I'm gonna keep
getting it for you.

Colonel:
Theodore, this is your father.
19
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,181
I'm calling to tell you
your brother's dead.
20
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:33,348
This is your fault.
21
00:00:33,434 --> 00:00:35,434
Contra forces in the south
have been pushed back.
22
00:00:35,553 --> 00:00:37,336
Any word on that missing
shipment of weapons?
23
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,254
Teddy:
I think I have to go
down there. Panama.
24
00:00:39,356 --> 00:00:41,190
Maybe nicaragua.
You take care of things
25
00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:42,424

Let me tell you what's real.
83
00:04:12,603 --> 00:04:15,270
When the state gave you

So, when I tell you that
I'm gonna kill leon and franklin
87
00:04:24,281 --> 00:04:26,331

88

00:04:57,398 --> 00:04:58,397
I want you to apologize.
101
00:04:58,482 --> 00:05:00,148

Franklin:
Look, everybody just
calm down, all right?
111
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:21,536
The cia need this shit squashed
as bad as we do.
112
00:05:21,638 --> 00:05:23,538
We ain't got
to worry about this shit.
113
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,141
How the fuck we gonna
believe you now? Huh, nephew?
114
00:05:26,226 --> 00:05:29,311
Franklin:
Who's identified
in this article?
115
00:05:29,396 --> 00:05:30,479
Whose father they quoting?
116
00:05:34,318 --> 00:05:37,218
I'm the one in trouble here,
117
00:05:37,321 --> 00:05:39,321
not you.
118
00:05:39,406 --> 00:05:44,359
And not you.
But what do I get?
119
00:05:44,445 --> 00:05:46,328
Concern?
120
00:05:47,531 --> 00:05:50,198
An ounce of fucking compassion?
121
00:05:50,284 --> 00:05:52,200
Nah.
122
00:05:52,286 --> 00:05:53,568
I get,
123
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:57,255
"franklin,
what's gonna happen to me?"
124
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:02,094
well, I'm gonna tell you what's
gonna happen to you: Nothing.
125
00:06:02,212 --> 00:06:04,379
And why is that?
126
00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:08,416
'cause I'm gonna step
in front of the bullet,
127
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,219
like I did with that judas
motherfucker kevin,
128
00:06:11,305 --> 00:06:13,221
like I did
with that bitch-ass andre,
129
00:06:13,307 --> 00:06:16,391
and like I always have
to keep y'all safe.
130
00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:20,145
Now, if you got
some constructive ideas
131
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:21,396
to help me get
through this shit,
132
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:23,315
then I promise you,
I'm listening, I promise.
133
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,535
But if not, if not, then please
keep your heads down,
134
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:29,154
keep your mouths shut
and let me get us out of this,
135
00:06:29,239 --> 00:06:32,207

other motherfucking thing else!
136
00:06:35,496 --> 00:06:37,462

(jerome sighs)
139
00:06:54,431 --> 00:06:56,314
so, I feel like this section,
140
00:06:56,433 --> 00:06:58,400
you can get rid
of these last two sentences
141
00:06:58,485 --> 00:07:00,185
and move this paragraph up.
142
00:07:00,270 --> 00:07:02,354
That's my transition
from money to guns.
143
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:05,107
Well, you'll have to smooth
it out, but it's repetitive,
144
00:07:05,192 --> 00:07:07,275
and the quicker we get
to the arms dealer,
145
00:07:07,361 --> 00:07:10,112
the better, you know?
146
00:07:10,197 --> 00:07:12,114
Sorry to interrupt.
147
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:13,481
I've got the guardian
on line two.
148
00:07:13,584 --> 00:07:15,316
And also...?
149
00:07:15,419 --> 00:07:17,369

150
00:07:17,454 --> 00:07:20,255

158
00:07:36,473 --> 00:07:38,273

00:07:44,448 --> 00:07:47,282
Remember the first big story
you were part of? Hmm?
162
00:07:47,367 --> 00:07:49,317
How exciting that was?
163
00:07:49,403 --> 00:07:52,237
I'll be excited when cia
officers are shitting themselves
164
00:07:52,322 --> 00:07:53,521

165
00:07:53,624 --> 00:07:55,190
Well, I'm serious.
166
00:07:55,292 --> 00:07:56,541
Hearings may never come.
167
00:07:56,660 --> 00:08:00,378
For a while, this is as good
as it's gonna get.
168
00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:04,466
Wh-why are you saying this?
169
00:08:04,551 --> 00:08:08,553
Well, it's-it's not just
papers and networks calling.
170
00:08:08,672 --> 00:08:11,306
The white house and the pentagon
have both reached out.
171
00:08:11,391 --> 00:08:15,260
This... Look, this is real.
172
00:08:15,345 --> 00:08:18,597
And they are gonna come at us
with everything they have.
173
00:08:20,317 --> 00:08:23,384
Good. Means we're doing our job.
174
00:08:23,487 --> 00:08:26,188
(clears throat)
175
00:08:26,273 --> 00:08:28,156

00:21:04,197 --> 00:21:07,031
they the only ones
I can trust right now.
351
00:21:07,116 --> 00:21:10,668
And you want
to sit this one out.
352
00:21:10,787 --> 00:21:14,038
Stay holed up
in your little ivory tower.
353
00:21:14,123 --> 00:21:16,123
Sound about right.
354
00:21:23,016 --> 00:21:24,799
(exclaims)
355
00:21:58,084 --> 00:21:59,667
no.
356
00:23:18,131 --> 00:23:19,797
(knock on door)
357
00:23:21,050 --> 00:23:23,050
(door opens)
358
00:23:24,921 --> 00:23:25,920
hey.
359
00:23:28,007 --> 00:23:30,724
How can I help?
360
00:23:30,810 --> 00:23:34,762
(sighs) hmm.
You being here is help enough.
361
00:23:35,932 --> 00:23:38,099
Look...
362
00:23:38,184 --> 00:23:40,818
I know this means
you might have eyes on you.
363
00:23:40,937 --> 00:23:42,853
Have trouble moving around.
364
00:23:42,939 --> 00:23:45,106
So, if you need anything--
and I mean anything--
365
00:23:45,191 --> 00:23:46,907
taken care of
while you got heat,
366
00:23:46,993 --> 00:23:48,826
I got you.
367
00:23:48,945 --> 00:23:51,028
(chuckles)
368
00:23:51,114 --> 00:23:52,997
yeah.
369
00:23:53,116 --> 00:23:56,784
I appreciate the offer
and your concern,
370
00:23:56,869 --> 00:24:00,121
but it ain't
your problem to solve.
371
00:24:11,134 --> 00:24:14,935
You don't have
to do this alone, you know.
372
00:24:24,113 --> 00:24:26,063
(insects chirping)
373
00:24:37,493 --> 00:24:39,276
(exhales)
374
00:24:50,423 --> 00:24:52,389
(birds cawing)
375
00:25:17,366 --> 00:25:19,333
(birds chirping)
376
00:25:25,208 --> 00:25:27,208
(knocking on door)
377
00:25:36,185 --> 00:25:38,018
-hell-- oh.
-Mrs. Saint.
378
00:25:38,104 --> 00:25:39,970
My apologies
for showing up unannounced.
379
00:25:40,056 --> 00:25:42,056
(laughs): I was just
on my way to meet paul.
380
00:25:42,141 --> 00:25:43,257
Well, I'm glad I caught you.
381
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,359
Unfortunately,
mr. Davis is unavailable
382
00:25:45,444 --> 00:25:47,978
to meet this morning,
383
00:25:48,064 --> 00:25:50,064
but he wanted me
to give you this.
384
00:25:52,235 --> 00:25:54,201
(laughs softly)
385
00:26:00,243 --> 00:26:02,126
this money was a gift.
386
00:26:02,245 --> 00:26:04,078
A token of our faith.
387
00:26:04,163 --> 00:26:08,132
Yes. Unfortunately,
circumstances have changed.
388
00:26:10,503 --> 00:26:13,137
-Why am I not surprised?
-Reynolds: Look, irene,
389
00:26:13,256 --> 00:26:15,055
I've been supportive
of everything
390
00:26:15,141 --> 00:26:16,290
you've wanted
to print up until now.
391
00:26:16,392 --> 00:26:18,342
But this paper
cannot be responsible
392
00:26:18,427 --> 00:26:22,146
for outing the identity
of an active cia officer.
393
00:26:22,265 --> 00:26:25,149
-What about his alias?
-Arguably even worse.
394
00:26:25,268 --> 00:26:28,435
It'll blow his cover to every
one of his assets and contacts.
395
00:26:28,521 --> 00:26:31,238
You mean drug and arms dealers?
396
00:26:31,324 --> 00:26:33,240
Think you're feeling
government pressure now?
397
00:26:33,326 --> 00:26:35,359
Get a cia officer killed,
see what happens.
398
00:26:37,163 --> 00:26:39,446
He's bringing cocaine
into the united states
399
00:26:39,532 --> 00:26:42,166
to fight an illegal war, and
we're supposed to protect him?
400
00:26:42,285 --> 00:26:45,152
(door opens)
401
00:26:45,254 --> 00:26:48,155
(sighs)
402
00:26:48,257 --> 00:26:52,042
-charlie: Walter.
-Charlie, uh, this is
ben lundberg, our lead counsel.
403
00:26:52,128 --> 00:26:54,094
And these gentlemen
are from the pentagon.
404
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:57,097
We've got the conference room
upstairs booked.
405
00:26:57,183 --> 00:26:59,300
We need a few minutes.
406
00:27:13,149 --> 00:27:15,115
(indistinct chatter)
407
00:27:23,492 --> 00:27:25,492
(engine stops)
408
00:27:48,351 --> 00:27:52,052
want to thank y'all
for coming out for the homie.
409
00:27:52,154 --> 00:27:53,320
Appreciate it.
410
00:27:57,026 --> 00:27:58,392
There he go.
411
00:27:58,494 --> 00:28:00,194
That motherfucker right there.
412
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:02,329
Black diamond:
Good. This heat
is sweating out my curls.
413
00:28:02,415 --> 00:28:04,331
Bitch, you know
you like the heat.
414
00:28:04,417 --> 00:28:07,251
Y'all want to shut the fuck up
and move? Please.
415
00:28:09,338 --> 00:28:11,004
Hey, jerome.
416
00:28:13,259 --> 00:28:15,376
I'm-a catch up to y'all.
417
00:28:19,048 --> 00:28:21,348
(chuckles)
appreciate you coming.
418
00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:24,084
Louie:
Mm-hmm.
419
00:28:24,186 --> 00:28:27,137
If you got to be here,
I'm here, too.
420
00:28:27,223 --> 00:28:28,188
-(tires screeching)
-(gunshots)
421
00:28:28,274 --> 00:28:30,023
(crowd screaming)
422
00:28:37,066 --> 00:28:38,399
-franklin: Are you okay?
-(leon grunts)
423
00:28:38,484 --> 00:28:41,235
-lee!
-Leon: I'm good.
424
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,438
-Jerome: Louie! Louie!
-Oh-- lou, lou, lou...
425
00:28:44,540 --> 00:28:46,957
(louie screaming, crying)
426
00:28:49,995 --> 00:28:52,079
I have to hold it!
427
00:28:52,164 --> 00:28:55,048
Oh. No, hold on, baby.
428
00:28:57,086 --> 00:28:59,970
(stammers)
get an ambulance, man!
429
00:29:00,089 --> 00:29:01,305
Get a fucking ambulance!
430
00:29:01,424 --> 00:29:03,307
Oh, shit, hold on. Hold on.
431
00:29:03,426 --> 00:29:05,392
-(muttering)
-(crying)
432
00:29:12,101 --> 00:29:13,183
jerome:
Stay with me, please.
433
00:29:13,269 --> 00:29:15,319
I fucking love you.
434
00:29:15,438 --> 00:29:18,155
I love you. I love you, baby.
435
00:29:18,274 --> 00:29:21,442
Don't leave me. Oh, shit.
436
00:29:26,148 --> 00:29:28,148
(indistinct announcement
over p.A.)
437
00:29:30,236 --> 00:29:33,237
she's in surgery. No word yet.
438
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:39,126
-Cissy: Baby. I'm here.
-Lee.
439
00:29:50,222 --> 00:29:53,140
Listen, man, we got
to keep an eye on jerome.
440
00:29:53,225 --> 00:29:55,309
As soon as louie
gets out of surgery,
441
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:57,311
first thing he's gonna do,
he's gonna charge up
442
00:29:57,396 --> 00:29:59,880
to that barbershop,
and they'll be waiting.
443
00:29:59,982 --> 00:30:02,983
You saw who it was, right?
444
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:04,985
Not manboy or skully.
445
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:07,020
It was that little girl's mama.
446
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:11,358
Tanosse:
Khadijah.
447
00:30:13,078 --> 00:30:14,328
Yeah. Her and these two bitches.
448
00:30:14,413 --> 00:30:17,030
Might've been them
that killed fatback.
449
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:23,036
I can find out who they were.
450
00:30:25,341 --> 00:30:27,240
All right. Yeah.
451
00:30:27,343 --> 00:30:29,176
Yeah. Thanks, t.
452
00:30:29,261 --> 00:30:31,211
-I'll page you.
-Mm-hmm.
453
00:30:40,139 --> 00:30:42,923
Sorry to ask this,
but I don't know how long
454
00:30:43,025 --> 00:30:45,225
I have to stay off the grid,
and I'd be more comfortable
455
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:47,144
if you hold onto them.
456
00:30:47,229 --> 00:30:50,263
Off the grid?
Are you listening to yourself?
457
00:30:50,366 --> 00:30:53,233
-I-I don't need this
from you right now, okay?
-I-I think you do.
458
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,986
If the paper won't fight
this fight, why should you?
459
00:30:56,071 --> 00:30:58,038
Because I refuse
to wake up every day
460
00:30:58,123 --> 00:31:00,073
for the rest of my life
knowing that I had the truth
461
00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:02,376
and-and they scared me off it.
462
00:31:05,331 --> 00:31:07,247
-Stubborn woman.
-Yeah, well,
463
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:09,967
-you married me.
-(chuckles)
464
00:31:13,088 --> 00:31:18,141
well, I can't just
let you go off alone.
465
00:31:20,930 --> 00:31:22,346
You can stay with me.
466
00:31:24,016 --> 00:31:25,315
No.
467
00:31:25,434 --> 00:31:27,150
I said I wouldn't let this
touch you or jane,
468
00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:28,268
and-and I meant it.
469
00:31:28,354 --> 00:31:31,137
(sighs)
470
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,139
where will you go?
471
00:31:33,242 --> 00:31:36,276
I'm exhausted. I... Just
want one more night in my house.
472
00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:39,145
I'll figure it out tomorrow.
473
00:31:39,248 --> 00:31:41,365
Call me when you get settled?
474
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,085
Okay.
475
00:31:47,122 --> 00:31:50,173
You'd think,
after all these years...
476
00:31:52,177 --> 00:31:54,261
...I'd have more things
I really cared about.
477
00:32:06,308 --> 00:32:08,058
Everybody else...
478
00:32:10,112 --> 00:32:12,279
...Got their head in the sand...
479
00:32:16,402 --> 00:32:22,372
...And you stand up
straight and tall.
480
00:32:29,081 --> 00:32:31,248
You got so much more than most.
481
00:32:37,256 --> 00:32:40,007
I am so proud of you, baby.
482
00:32:44,229 --> 00:32:46,179
Thank you.
483
00:32:59,028 --> 00:33:00,944
(door opens)
484
00:33:02,998 --> 00:33:04,281
-manboy: Hold up. She did what?
-Tanosse (over phone): Shot up
485
00:33:04,366 --> 00:33:07,167
a fucking funeral, drew,
while I was there.
486
00:33:07,252 --> 00:33:10,003
-She hit anybody?
-She could've got me.
487
00:33:10,089 --> 00:33:12,873
-So she did?
-They got louie.
488
00:33:12,958 --> 00:33:15,175
She alive,
but it don't look good.
489
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:18,178
(sighs) jerome about
to be on the warpath.
490
00:33:18,263 --> 00:33:20,847
If you want me
to get you their connect,
491
00:33:20,933 --> 00:33:23,183
you got to get your sister
to stand the fuck down.
492
00:33:23,268 --> 00:33:25,251
You don't think I tried that?
493
00:33:25,354 --> 00:33:28,922
(sighs)
shit.
494
00:33:29,024 --> 00:33:31,108
All right, look.
495
00:33:31,226 --> 00:33:33,060
Uh, might be a way
I can get this done.
496
00:33:33,145 --> 00:33:36,146
So do it then. What the fuck
is you still talking to me for?
497
00:33:39,034 --> 00:33:42,285
Call loc and twin. Tell them
bring their uzis and rounds.
498
00:33:42,404 --> 00:33:44,905
We gonna have
some company tonight.
499
00:33:47,076 --> 00:33:49,042
(door closes)
500
00:33:55,134 --> 00:33:56,833
havemeyer:
We need to talk.
501
00:33:56,919 --> 00:33:58,284
Yeah, we do.
502
00:33:58,387 --> 00:34:01,088
Things in nicaragua
are a lot worse than we thought.
503
00:34:01,173 --> 00:34:05,058
Later. We got a bigger problem.
504
00:34:08,097 --> 00:34:10,063
(indistinct announcement
over p.A.)
505
00:34:12,317 --> 00:34:14,935
hey, where you going?
506
00:34:15,020 --> 00:34:16,269
Jerome:
Get some air.
507
00:34:16,355 --> 00:34:18,105
You want me to roll with you?
508
00:34:25,197 --> 00:34:26,363
(franklin clears throat)
509
00:34:32,287 --> 00:34:34,287
(grunts)
510
00:34:43,298 --> 00:34:47,934
I can't believe we're back
in this hospital.
511
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:51,138
Another one of ours
fighting to survive.
512
00:34:54,276 --> 00:34:56,860
Well, we got through that.
513
00:34:56,979 --> 00:34:59,012
Hmm?
514
00:34:59,114 --> 00:35:01,064
And we'll get through this.
515
00:35:06,955 --> 00:35:10,190
Willy childress came to see me.
516
00:35:10,292 --> 00:35:12,192
He returned our money.
517
00:35:12,294 --> 00:35:14,961
Paul davis is out. It's over.
518
00:35:18,333 --> 00:35:21,051
God. Those motherfuckers, man.
519
00:35:21,170 --> 00:35:23,086
They just scared.
520
00:35:23,172 --> 00:35:24,971
-I just... (stammers)
-so am I, franklin.
521
00:35:25,057 --> 00:35:27,140
Yeah, but this is all gonna
blow over, you know,
522
00:35:27,226 --> 00:35:29,142
and then they gonna come
crawling back.
523
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:31,311
And if they don't, then there's
other investors, right?
524
00:35:31,396 --> 00:35:34,264
No reputable businessperson
is gonna get into bed with us.
525
00:35:34,349 --> 00:35:37,901
Not after all of this.
The article?
526
00:35:39,938 --> 00:35:42,823
We're never gonna be legitimate.
527
00:35:42,908 --> 00:35:44,858
(sighs)
528
00:35:46,945 --> 00:35:48,328
(pager beeping)
529
00:35:49,364 --> 00:35:51,064
(whispers):
Finally.
530
00:35:51,166 --> 00:35:54,067
Look, uh, I got to,
um... I-I got to go.
531
00:35:54,169 --> 00:35:57,037
Look, um...
We'll talk another time.
532
00:35:57,122 --> 00:35:59,906
-Love you.
-I'm moving out of the house.
533
00:36:00,008 --> 00:36:00,957
What?
534
00:36:03,011 --> 00:36:05,045
You moving out the house?
535
00:36:06,381 --> 00:36:10,083
(chuckles)
and going where?
536
00:36:10,185 --> 00:36:11,268
I don't know yet.
537
00:36:12,387 --> 00:36:15,272
-Away from south central.
-Not with alton?
538
00:36:18,193 --> 00:36:20,894
No, not with alton.
539
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:26,099
I'm done getting caught
between the two of you.
540
00:36:26,201 --> 00:36:30,036
No longer a mother
and wife first.
541
00:36:30,122 --> 00:36:32,906
Start taking care of myself.
542
00:36:40,165 --> 00:36:42,132
Look, at least...
543
00:36:44,303 --> 00:36:47,003
Give me a few hours, okay?
544
00:36:47,089 --> 00:36:49,089
I'll be back in a little while,
545
00:36:49,174 --> 00:36:52,058
and-and we'll take care
of all of this.
546
00:36:52,144 --> 00:36:54,094
Promise. Okay?
547
00:36:55,931 --> 00:36:58,064
Huh?
548
00:36:58,150 --> 00:37:00,100
(indistinct announcement
over p.A.)
549
00:37:05,107 --> 00:37:07,274
(grunts)
550
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:09,809
(franklin sighs)
551
00:37:09,912 --> 00:37:11,861
watch over jerome.
552
00:37:20,956 --> 00:37:22,956
-(franklin grunting)
-(distant sirens wailing)
553
00:37:26,929 --> 00:37:28,845
franklin:
Where the fuck you been?
554
00:37:28,964 --> 00:37:30,096
Drunk in a ditch somewhere?
555
00:37:30,182 --> 00:37:31,097
Teddy:
Doesn't matter where I've been.
556
00:37:31,183 --> 00:37:33,350
How the fuck
did you let that happen?
557
00:37:35,304 --> 00:37:37,137
How do you think it happened?
558
00:37:37,222 --> 00:37:39,856
-My pops figured it out.
-Yeah!
559
00:37:39,975 --> 00:37:41,191
And then he told some
fucking reporter about it?
560
00:37:41,310 --> 00:37:43,193
-And you had no idea
that this was coming?
-Wh-what?
561
00:37:43,312 --> 00:37:45,011
He's my fucking father, man.
562
00:37:45,113 --> 00:37:46,896
I thought I could trust him.
563
00:37:48,984 --> 00:37:50,817
What is that, blood?
564
00:37:53,322 --> 00:37:57,240
Yeah.
565
00:37:57,326 --> 00:37:59,859
Louie got hit.
566
00:37:59,962 --> 00:38:01,911
What? Wait, what?
567
00:38:05,133 --> 00:38:07,000
Is she all right?
568
00:38:07,085 --> 00:38:08,918
She's in surgery.
569
00:38:10,055 --> 00:38:13,923
Doctors say it's... A coin flip.
570
00:38:14,009 --> 00:38:16,009
I'm sorry.
571
00:38:17,312 --> 00:38:20,880
But if we don't stop this,
there is no tomorrow.
572
00:38:20,983 --> 00:38:22,182
That's the reality.
573
00:38:22,267 --> 00:38:24,150
Now, I got my people
working on stopping
574
00:38:24,236 --> 00:38:27,821
the second part from being
published, but we have to get
575
00:38:27,906 --> 00:38:29,222
-this reporter under control.
-Already tried.
576
00:38:29,324 --> 00:38:32,058
-What does that mean?
-It means I met up with her.
577
00:38:33,195 --> 00:38:34,995
Tried to get her to understand
that she's fucking around
578
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,064
with the wrong people.
Look, you was gone.
579
00:38:38,166 --> 00:38:40,233
Okay? You was gone. I had to try
something. I had no choice.
580
00:38:40,335 --> 00:38:42,902
All right, all right.
All right, all right, all right.
581
00:38:43,005 --> 00:38:44,921
How did she take it?
582
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,907
Well, she ain't soft.
583
00:38:48,010 --> 00:38:51,878
I don't think empty threats
gonna get the job done.
584
00:38:51,963 --> 00:38:54,881
All right. I'll take care
of her from here on out.
585
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:56,800
What I need from you
586
00:38:56,885 --> 00:38:58,968
is to put a muzzle
on your father.
587
00:38:59,054 --> 00:39:01,921
Is that something
that you can do?
588
00:39:02,024 --> 00:39:04,858
Uh-huh.
589
00:39:07,979 --> 00:39:09,946
I thought for sure
this was over.
590
00:39:11,066 --> 00:39:13,066
That you'd cut me loose.
(chuckles)
591
00:39:13,151 --> 00:39:15,118
never hear from you again.
592
00:39:17,956 --> 00:39:20,106
Well, I told you
I'd be there with you.
593
00:39:20,208 --> 00:39:21,958
You remember?
594
00:39:22,077 --> 00:39:23,993
I will.
595
00:39:31,169 --> 00:39:32,836
But listen to me.
596
00:39:32,921 --> 00:39:34,254
From here on,
597
00:39:34,339 --> 00:39:37,223
you just can't trust anyone.
598
00:39:37,309 --> 00:39:39,959
Because
when push comes to shove,
599
00:39:40,062 --> 00:39:42,929
all anybody cares about
is saving themselves.
600
00:39:47,152 --> 00:39:49,102
You know that.
601
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,139
(car door opens, closes)
602
00:39:53,241 --> 00:39:54,324
(engine starts)
603
00:39:58,663 --> 00:40:00,630
(siren wailing)
604
00:40:09,474 --> 00:40:11,424
(indistinct chatter)
605
00:40:12,594 --> 00:40:15,428
franklin:
Louie.
606
00:40:15,514 --> 00:40:16,479
Out of surgery.
607
00:40:16,598 --> 00:40:18,581
They say they got her stable.
608
00:40:18,683 --> 00:40:20,650
Thank god.
609
00:40:22,437 --> 00:40:23,770
Mom inside?
610
00:40:23,855 --> 00:40:26,639
She left as soon as she
found out louie was cool, so...
611
00:40:26,741 --> 00:40:28,691
-Nurse: Jerome?
-Yeah.
612
00:40:28,777 --> 00:40:30,810
Nurse:
You want to come on back?
613
00:40:30,912 --> 00:40:33,696
Y'all get ready. The minute
I finish sitting with her,
614
00:40:33,782 --> 00:40:35,782
we gonna get
these motherfuckers.
615
00:40:38,453 --> 00:40:39,536
(sighs)
616
00:40:39,621 --> 00:40:41,421
I've been paging you.
617
00:40:42,591 --> 00:40:45,291
My bad, I was... Busy.
618
00:40:45,377 --> 00:40:47,343
What do you have?
619
00:40:48,380 --> 00:40:50,513
Black diamond and dallas.
620
00:40:50,632 --> 00:40:52,599
That's who khadijah was with.
621
00:40:54,386 --> 00:40:56,519
Never heard of 'em.
622
00:40:56,621 --> 00:40:59,355
Used to be dancers,
if you can believe that shit.
623
00:40:59,474 --> 00:41:01,524
Now they straight hustlers.
624
00:41:01,643 --> 00:41:03,393
In it for the cash.
625
00:41:03,478 --> 00:41:05,344
But they're dangerous.
626
00:41:05,447 --> 00:41:07,480
(franklin sighs)
627
00:41:07,566 --> 00:41:10,516
and something else I heard
while I was asking around.
628
00:41:10,619 --> 00:41:11,784
Uh-huh?
629
00:41:11,870 --> 00:41:14,520
You know manboy been
after your plug?
630
00:41:14,623 --> 00:41:16,706
Everybody want the hookup.
It ain't no secret.
631
00:41:16,825 --> 00:41:20,693
Yeah, but apparently drew been
leaning into it heavy.
632
00:41:20,795 --> 00:41:22,745
Boy borderline obsessed.
633
00:41:25,584 --> 00:41:27,584
Drew has, huh?
634
00:41:27,669 --> 00:41:29,469
Yeah.
635
00:41:29,554 --> 00:41:31,537
Where you going with this?
636
00:41:32,757 --> 00:41:36,426
I thought if you wanted to avoid
a war, there might be a way.
637
00:41:38,597 --> 00:41:40,546
Make a deal with manboy.
638
00:41:40,649 --> 00:41:42,599
Agree to offer him the plug.
639
00:41:42,684 --> 00:41:45,318
In exchange,
he talks khadijah down.
640
00:41:45,403 --> 00:41:47,386
Brokers peace.
641
00:41:47,489 --> 00:41:49,689
Leon:
Tianna was his niece.
642
00:41:49,774 --> 00:41:53,359
You think he gonna let
that shit go for a plug?
643
00:41:53,445 --> 00:41:54,744
Y'all know drew.
644
00:41:54,863 --> 00:41:56,696
He a businessman.
645
00:41:56,781 --> 00:41:59,666
Ain't nothing more important
to him than his money.
646
00:41:59,751 --> 00:42:02,452
And he's the only person
on this earth
647
00:42:02,537 --> 00:42:05,371
who might be able
to talk khadijah down.
648
00:42:08,510 --> 00:42:10,376
Let me think on it, hmm?
649
00:42:10,462 --> 00:42:11,427
Mm-hmm.
650
00:42:11,546 --> 00:42:13,513
(franklin clears throat)
651
00:42:17,636 --> 00:42:19,686
even if that motherfucker agree,
652
00:42:19,771 --> 00:42:21,420
if he get the plug,
653
00:42:21,523 --> 00:42:23,356
we can't trust
he gonna keep his word.
654
00:42:23,441 --> 00:42:25,391
No, we can't.
655
00:42:26,645 --> 00:42:28,611
Can't trust any of it.
656
00:42:30,532 --> 00:42:32,431
(chuckles)
657
00:42:32,534 --> 00:42:34,484
-fuck.
-What?
658
00:42:36,738 --> 00:42:39,572
Whatever happens,
keep jerome here.
659
00:42:39,658 --> 00:42:41,624
All right? I'll be back.
660
00:42:41,743 --> 00:42:43,710
Okay.
661
00:42:50,802 --> 00:42:52,752
Peaches!
662
00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:58,808
Go get the car.
663
00:43:18,530 --> 00:43:21,531
(grunts, sighs)
664
00:43:22,701 --> 00:43:25,501
all right.
665
00:43:25,620 --> 00:43:28,421
Head home and make the call.
666
00:43:28,506 --> 00:43:31,674
Tell drew I'll make the deal.
667
00:43:31,793 --> 00:43:34,493
All right?
668
00:43:34,596 --> 00:43:36,596
Got some shit I got to do.
669
00:43:36,681 --> 00:43:38,798
But page me once it's done.
670
00:43:38,883 --> 00:43:41,301

She all fucked up, man.
686
00:45:49,481 --> 00:45:52,631
She got tubes,
fucking wires coming out of her.
687

She barely look
like herself, man.

Fuck you mean,

I want to roll down

691
00:46:03,828 --> 00:46:06,645
Get the straps.
692
00:46:06,748 --> 00:46:08,698
Get the head-hunting niggas.
693
00:46:10,452 --> 00:46:13,619
Kill every motherfucker in
