You can take your chances with them killers that's comin' in.
Listen, listen, the boy is a minor, right?

What'd you say?
Fuck wrong with you?
Take care of them loose ends?
(INHALES SHARPLY)
Yeah, about that...
Shit went left.
Fuck you mean?
Uh, loose ends?
Fuck y'all talkin' about with these loose ends?
Nothin' for you to worry about, Mac.
Is Baby Ray a loose end?
Am I a loose end?
What the hell you talkin' about, Mac?
Whoa, whoa! What the fuck, Mac?
Y'all motherfuckers been thick as thieves this whole goddamn time.
-Mac... -Shut the fuck up, nigga!
Hey, Mac, listen to me, all right.
Yeah, we took a couple of casualties,
but there's a whole shitload of cash for us to split over there.
So, why don't we all just calm the fuck down!
All right, McKinley, stand down.
I knew you was a snake from the first time I laid my eyes on you.
Says the baby killer with the medals to prove it.
Fuck you, man. Prison ain't good enough for you.
Prison? Ain't nobody going to fuckin' prison, man.
Both of y'all, put them guns down.
(GUN FIRES)
Ray...
EMERSON: Mac!
Goddamn it!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
-(GASPING) -Fuck. Mac.
(GASPING)
Mac.
I thought he was gonna shoot you.
Mac?
(EMERSON MUTTERS)
What's that sayin' about honor amongst thieves?
How the fuck should I know?
Exactly.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(SPITS)
Atlanta PD. Drop the weapon.
Do it.
Fuck!
Oh, shit!
(GROANING)
Anything happens to me, call it in.
Where you goin? Hudson.
Goddamn it! Shit!
(GROANS AND PANTS)
Fuck! (GRUNTS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GRUNTING)
Fuck it! Fuck it! Fuck it! Fuck it!
(YELLS)
(WILLIE GASPS)
(PANTING)
You wanna keep doin' this shit?
You're the one shot.
It's not even your money.
It ain't yours either. Give it up.
Fuck that.
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING AND GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
(GRUNTING)
Stop! Stop!
-(GUN CLICKS) -Oh, fuck!
(YELLING)
Argh!
(PANTS) Man, who the fuck are y'all?
We the police, nigga!
Ain't no... Bitch, show me your fuckin' badge!
Oh! Shit!
-(GRUNTS) -(SCREAMS)
-All right, all right, all right. -That's for Vivian.
Who the fuck is Vivian?
So, what do we do now?
We stick to the plan.
Cadillac.
CADILLAC RICHIE: You know how much I love Nonna's baked ziti.
Tell her to save me a plate
and I'll see y'all when I'm done with this Harlem problem.
Bye.
Hey, Goose, you got somethin' for me?
Yes, sir, boss.
LEOLA: I hear my beautiful boy is headed South again.
CADILLAC RICHIE: A day down in that godforsaken,
country-ass, backward town is an eternity, Mama.
Hey, Ruck.
Let my mama see what you got there.
You see anything you like?
The white one.
El blanco, por favor.
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
Don't nobody touch my mama.
(CHUCKLES)
This is beautiful. Mmm!
When I get back from the South, I'm gonna bring you
a nice, big, four-carat diamond necklace.
You just do what needs to be done
and get your ass back to civilization.
Oh, it's gettin' done.
I got Frank in a whirlpool of craziness right now,
and by the time I'm done,
he ain't gonna know that I had a hand in it.
(KISSES)
Humiliation ain't enough.
Your daddy, Big Richie,
used to stay awake nights,
plottin', plannin', dreamin' of givin' Frank what he had comin'.
That day never came.
So, I had to stand by and watch
that stripe-headed snake undermine your father,
bring him down from a king to a middleman,
just like what he doing to you.
Your daddy wasn't strong enough to make the right decision,
but you, my boy,
this is your time.
I want that. I want all of that,
for you, for us,
for Big Richie.
At the appropriate time, I shall crush that snake.
That's my boy!
(KISSES)
You honor your father's legacy.
And put that two-faced, licorice-chewin' motherfucker where he belong.
Yes, ma'am.
