1
00:00:05,979 --> 00:00:08,580
MANBOY: First, you out
here gutting niggas like you crazy,

2
00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:10,740
now you looking
to get any old body killed.

3
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:13,076
- What are you thinking, Dijah?
- I'm thinking about my daughter.

4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,019
I had a long talk
with Paul Davis today.

5
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:18,260
He wants to bring us in
on two commercial towers on Wilshire.

6
00:00:18,339 --> 00:00:19,876
Did you ever think
you'd be in the position

7
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:21,619
to give away
a quarter million dollars?

8
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:24,900
- You protect my family.
- I promise.

9
00:00:24,979 --> 00:00:26,860
This is only about exposing the CIA.

10
00:00:26,939 --> 00:00:28,779
New munitions, new suppliers.

11
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:30,595
We are as committed as ever
to winning this war.

12
00:00:30,619 --> 00:00:32,835
You keep telling me what you need,
I'm gonna keep getting it for you.

13
00:00:32,859 --> 00:00:34,579
COLONEL:
Theodore, this is your father.

14
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:37,940
I'm calling to tell you your
brother's dead. This is your fault.

15
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:40,020
Contra forces in the south
have been pushed back.

16
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,555
Any word on that missing
shipment of weapons?

17
00:00:41,579 --> 00:00:43,459
TEDDY: I think I have to
go down there. Panama.

18
00:00:43,539 --> 00:00:46,660
Maybe Nicaragua. You take care of things
for me here until I get back.

19
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:48,420
ALTON:
Too many people know, Franklin.

20
00:00:48,499 --> 00:00:51,179
I'm not moving to fucking Cuba,
looking over my damn shoulder.

21
00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:54,420
- This is my fucking home!
- You are killing us all.

22
00:00:54,499 --> 00:00:56,859
Don't you see that?!

23
00:00:56,940 --> 00:00:59,660
- He's busy.
- Too busy to see my fucking 911s?

24
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:03,980
Gustavo, call him. Tell him
this is extremely important.

25
00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:45,220
MAN: Shit. I mean, call him "Mr. X"
all you want.

26
00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:47,339
Y'all know that's Franklin Saint
they writing about.

27
00:02:47,380 --> 00:02:49,859
Once you start talking
gangsters and the CIA,

28
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:52,100
that's Jim Jones
territory right there.

29
00:02:52,180 --> 00:02:55,859
Jim Jones? What that crazy fool
got to do with drugs in L.A.?

30
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:59,180
Do you think one white man
killed 100 poor Black niggas

31
00:02:59,259 --> 00:03:02,340
down there by hisself?
That's the CIA, sure as shit.

32
00:03:02,419 --> 00:03:03,979
- That's right.
- That ain't no lie.

33
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:08,819
They cut us down in Jonestown
and up here, too. CIA, FBI, LAPD.

34
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:12,100
And they got some clubs so secret,
they ain't even got names for 'em.

35
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:14,579
- Cut 'em down like wheat.
- You damn right. Hey, in 'Nam,

36
00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:17,139
they was feeding them Black
soldiers LSD like it was candy.

37
00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:19,900
Talking about Franklin Saint's
the problem, when it's Uncle Sam.

38
00:03:19,979 --> 00:03:22,260
And you know Uncle ain't gonna
be happy with the Saint boy

39
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:24,900
or that Chinee lady
who done the writing.

40
00:03:24,979 --> 00:03:26,460
MANBOY:
You thinking about it wrong.

41
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:28,139
KHADIJAH:
Nah. They say the CIA the plug.

42
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:29,660
It's only one way to think about it.

43
00:03:29,739 --> 00:03:34,100
How you think Franklin keeps
slipping out of trouble? Huh?

44
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:36,739
'Cause he dealing
with the devil himself.

45
00:03:36,819 --> 00:03:38,940
Well, on top of cheap cocaine,

46
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:40,979
the plug
a Get Out of Jail Free card.

47
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:43,340
That's some walk-on-water stuff
right there.

48
00:03:43,419 --> 00:03:46,500
Yeah, for Saint, nigga.
They'll drown your dumb ass.

49
00:03:46,579 --> 00:03:50,460
Who you think Alton Williams is?
The nigga they quoting in this article.

50
00:03:50,539 --> 00:03:52,380
It's Franklin pops.

51
00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:55,780
Franklin days as the
CIA golden boy... that's over.

52
00:03:55,859 --> 00:03:58,940
We gonna take his place.

53
00:03:59,019 --> 00:04:02,579
Man, you's a jive-ass,
scheming motherfucker.

54
00:04:03,739 --> 00:04:06,579
- That's some real shit right there.
- That's real?

55
00:04:06,660 --> 00:04:08,259
Let me tell you what's real.

56
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:10,739
When the state gave you
to that foster family,

57
00:04:10,819 --> 00:04:12,620
and the father did
what he did to you,

58
00:04:12,699 --> 00:04:17,020
who made sure that motherfucker
got what was coming to him? Me!

59
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:19,275
So, when I tell you that
I'm gonna kill Leon and Franklin

60
00:04:19,299 --> 00:04:21,379
for what they did to your baby,

61
00:04:21,460 --> 00:04:24,700
and then take they plug
and set us up for life,

62
00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:29,260
I mean that.
And that's some real shit.

63
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:31,140
Come on, man.
Let's go.

64
00:04:35,419 --> 00:04:38,499
You really ain't know
there was a reporter sniffing around?

65
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,299
- No.
- Your daddy sure as shit did.

66
00:04:41,379 --> 00:04:45,179
- Snitching-ass motherfucker.
- I'll deal with Alton.

67
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:48,780
Not if the CIA deal with him
first, right along with our ass.

68
00:04:48,859 --> 00:04:51,100
FRANKLIN: What you want me to do,
apologize again?

69
00:04:51,179 --> 00:04:53,715
Yeah, nigga, I want you to apologize.
I want you to get on your fucking knees.

70
00:04:53,739 --> 00:04:58,580
Need to be begging for forgiveness,
all the shit you done put us through.

71
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:01,100
What's Reed saying?

72
00:05:01,179 --> 00:05:04,419
- Franklin, where Reed at?
- I don't know. I ain't heard from him.

73
00:05:04,499 --> 00:05:06,539
- Tried him, but I ain't heard back.
- Yeah.

74
00:05:06,619 --> 00:05:08,660
Oh, he gonna hang us out to dry.

75
00:05:08,739 --> 00:05:10,595
JEROME: Yeah, we gonna all
go to the goddamn clink.

76
00:05:10,619 --> 00:05:12,739
FRANKLIN: Look, everybody
just calm down, all right?

77
00:05:12,820 --> 00:05:14,859
The CIA need this shit squashed
as bad as we do.

78
00:05:14,939 --> 00:05:16,419
We ain't got
to worry about this shit.

79
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:18,700
How the fuck we gonna
believe you now? Huh, nephew?

80
00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:21,780
FRANKLIN:
Who's identified in this article?

81
00:05:21,859 --> 00:05:24,100
Whose father they quoting?

82
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:31,220
I'm the one in trouble here,
not you.

83
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:36,260
And not you.
But what do I get?

84
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:37,979
Concern?

85
00:05:39,299 --> 00:05:42,020
An ounce of fucking compassion?

86
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:48,340
Nah. I get, "Franklin,
what's gonna happen to me?"

87
00:05:50,140 --> 00:05:53,059
Well, I'm gonna tell you what's
gonna happen to you: nothing.

88
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:55,059
And why is that?

89
00:05:55,140 --> 00:05:59,379
'Cause I'm gonna step
in front of the bullet,

90
00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:01,580
like I did with that Judas
motherfucker Kevin,

91
00:06:01,660 --> 00:06:03,780
like I did
with that bitch-ass Andre,

92
00:06:03,859 --> 00:06:06,979
and like I always have
to keep y'all safe.

93
00:06:07,059 --> 00:06:10,299
Now, if you got
some constructive ideas

94
00:06:10,379 --> 00:06:11,900
to help me get through this shit,

95
00:06:11,979 --> 00:06:13,739
then I promise you,
I'm listening, I promise.

96
00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:16,780
But if not, if not, then please
keep your heads down,

97
00:06:16,859 --> 00:06:19,179
keep your mouths shut
and let me get us out of this,

98
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:22,859
like I got us out of every
other motherfucking thing else!

99
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:32,739
Peaches... let's roll.

100
00:06:43,379 --> 00:06:45,340
So, I feel like this section,

101
00:06:45,419 --> 00:06:48,820
you can get rid of these last two
sentences and move this paragraph up.

102
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:50,939
That's my transition
from money to guns.

103
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:53,499
Well, you'll have to smooth
it out, but it's repetitive,

104
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:55,859
and the quicker we get
to the arms dealer,

105
00:06:55,939 --> 00:06:58,379
the better, you know?

106
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:02,499
Sorry to interrupt.
On line two.

107
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:05,700
-And also...
sent this over.

108
00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:08,419
- It's, uh, champagne.
- It's Korbel.

109
00:07:08,499 --> 00:07:12,020
- Should I get us some glasses?
- Uh, you should get us some coffee.

110
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,660
- Uh, what about the...
- I'll call back.

111
00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:19,100
That's five major papers
and all three networks,

112
00:07:19,179 --> 00:07:21,299
and it's not even noon.

113
00:07:21,379 --> 00:07:24,340
Coffee.
Coffee.

114
00:07:24,419 --> 00:07:25,900
Okay.

115
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:31,140
Fucking smiley Jimmy Olsen.

116
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:34,059
Remember the first big story
you were part of? Hmm?

117
00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:35,900
How exciting that was?

118
00:07:35,979 --> 00:07:39,059
I'll be excited when CIA
officers are shitting themselves

119
00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:40,700
on live television.

120
00:07:40,780 --> 00:07:43,299
Well, I'm serious.
Hearings may never come.

121
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:47,820
For a while, this is as good
as it's gonna get.

122
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:50,660
Why are you saying this?

123
00:07:50,739 --> 00:07:54,820
Well, it's-it's not just
papers and networks calling.

124
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:57,460
The White House and the Pentagon
have both reached out.

125
00:07:57,539 --> 00:08:00,700
This...
Look, this is real.

126
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:05,739
And they are gonna come at us
with everything they have.

127
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:09,260
Good.
Means we're doing our job.

128
00:08:11,780 --> 00:08:15,260
- Uh, I don't see coffee.
- Got another call.

129
00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:17,379
Says he's Mr. X.

130
00:08:19,340 --> 00:08:20,900
Line four.

131
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:36,820
Irene Abe.

132
00:08:36,899 --> 00:08:39,580
FRANKLIN:
Miss Abe, how you doing?

133
00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:41,379
This is Franklin Saint.

134
00:08:41,460 --> 00:08:46,180
I enjoyed your article.
Shame you only told half the story.

135
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:50,580
- Interested in getting the rest?
- Yes. I am.

136
00:08:50,659 --> 00:08:53,619
I've done everything I can,
ever since you first came to me,

137
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,420
but now I want your word
my brother gonna be safe.

138
00:08:56,499 --> 00:09:00,300
I want my money, and I want
to get the fuck out of here.

139
00:09:00,379 --> 00:09:02,316
You ain't got nothing to drink
in this motherfucker?

140
00:09:02,340 --> 00:09:04,220
- Some sweet tea or something?
- You hear me?

141
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:05,940
Look, saying you done what I asked.

142
00:09:06,019 --> 00:09:08,739
But if that was true, I'd have
the plug, which I don't.

143
00:09:08,820 --> 00:09:10,635
I told you when Franklin was
going to meet him.

144
00:09:10,659 --> 00:09:12,659
That y'all couldn't follow him
ain't my fault.

145
00:09:12,739 --> 00:09:15,420
- So you saying it's mine?
- I'm saying Franklin ain't stupid.

146
00:09:15,499 --> 00:09:18,659
He gonna figure this out, and
when he does, I'm a dead woman.

147
00:09:18,739 --> 00:09:21,100
So you think Franklin the nigga
you need to worry about?

148
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:23,019
Okay.

149
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:25,739
You ain't never thought about
doing no redecorating up in here?

150
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:27,300
It feels tired.

151
00:09:27,379 --> 00:09:30,139
Maybe move them busted-ass
paintings out the way.

152
00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:31,979
Oh, fuck, Drew!

153
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:34,700
Hey, look, I understand
you're tired.

154
00:09:34,779 --> 00:09:37,100
I feel that, 'cause I am, too.

155
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:39,420
But I'm done waiting.

156
00:09:39,499 --> 00:09:42,739
So if I ain't got the plug
by end of the week,

157
00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:44,940
you and your brother dead.

158
00:09:57,379 --> 00:09:59,580
God.

159
00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:43,220
Sandinistas?

160
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:45,460
Uh...

161
00:11:02,259 --> 00:11:05,379
Okay, okay, okay.
Mira, mira.

162
00:12:29,139 --> 00:12:31,779
So, any word from our boy?

163
00:12:35,979 --> 00:12:41,259
There are some things
I'm gonna grab from the office. Okay?

164
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:04,540
It's locked.

165
00:13:05,940 --> 00:13:08,220
You don't have a key?

166
00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:15,340
Then someone doesn't want you
in there, amigo.

167
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:20,139
- Teddy works for me, Gustavo.
- He does. I don't.

168
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:31,899
Listen to me, hombre.

169
00:13:31,979 --> 00:13:35,619
Your boss is in trouble.
I'm here to save his ass.

170
00:14:07,859 --> 00:14:10,859
IRENE:
Hmm.

171
00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:14,499
I wasn't sure you'd actually come.

172
00:14:14,580 --> 00:14:16,700
I wanted to meet
the woman who's trying to

173
00:14:16,779 --> 00:14:19,739
destroy people
she doesn't even know.

174
00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:24,019
If I wanted to destroy you,
I would've printed your name.

175
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:27,580
- I want your CIA masters.
- Ah.

176
00:14:27,659 --> 00:14:31,540
Haven't you heard of
the great liberation, Miss Abe?

177
00:14:31,619 --> 00:14:34,259
- They freed the slaves.
- Hmm.

178
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:38,300
The lies they teach in school.
Call me Irene.

179
00:14:38,379 --> 00:14:42,300
- WAITRESS: What can I get you?
- Uh, Jameson, neat. Double.

180
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:50,420
You wanted to tell your side.
Here's your chance.

181
00:14:50,499 --> 00:14:54,580
Well, I hate to break it to you,
but I'm in real estate.

182
00:14:54,659 --> 00:14:56,820
Uh, cheap denials are
a waste of my time.

183
00:14:56,899 --> 00:14:59,580
Right.
'Cause you got grand plans.

184
00:14:59,659 --> 00:15:02,379
Shake the very ground.
That's the idea?

185
00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:04,659
Our institutions already
have cracks.

186
00:15:04,739 --> 00:15:07,180
I want to see what falls.

187
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:22,379
I see why you
and my father get along.

188
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:27,019
- I respect him.
- Yeah, I did, too.

189
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:28,940
For a long time.

190
00:15:29,019 --> 00:15:32,460
Then I watched
the struggle ruin him.

191
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:34,139
You see...

192
00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:36,940
I realized
you either join the system

193
00:15:37,019 --> 00:15:38,820
and become what you hate,

194
00:15:38,899 --> 00:15:41,979
or fight it and let it destroy you.

195
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:45,180
- So, what's it gonna be?
- Well, that's just it.

196
00:15:45,259 --> 00:15:47,180
Now I don't have to choose.

197
00:15:47,259 --> 00:15:52,899
I've found the best of both worlds:
their system, my way.

198
00:15:52,979 --> 00:15:56,420
My God, Franklin,
you-you think you're protected?

199
00:15:56,499 --> 00:15:59,859
They give a shit about you?
They'll never let you out.

200
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:04,499
Yeah, well, that's my problem,
but we're not here to talk about me.

201
00:16:05,580 --> 00:16:08,979
Now, if your story is true...

202
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:12,379
A government agency
waging an illegal war,

203
00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:15,420
dealing drugs, getting criminals
absolved of murder...

204
00:16:15,499 --> 00:16:17,516
Well, then you of all people
should know that there's

205
00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:20,379
nothing they won't do
to kill that story.

206
00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:23,619
See, you going after them
is like a...

207
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:26,899
zebra thinks she's stalking a lion.

208
00:16:26,979 --> 00:16:31,859
And shit, maybe you are ready
to be a martyr.

209
00:16:31,940 --> 00:16:35,019
But in the end,
it won't just be you.

210
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:38,019
It's gonna be Henry,
and it's gonna be Jane.

211
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:40,820
You leave my family
the fuck out of this.

212
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:44,379
Irene...

213
00:16:44,460 --> 00:16:48,180
you say that like I'm the one
that's gonna hurt 'em.

214
00:16:58,899 --> 00:17:01,019
Good luck, Irene.

215
00:17:11,179 --> 00:17:13,379
FRANKLIN:
Ah, who's winning?

216
00:17:17,459 --> 00:17:21,540
Just confirming, it should be
under the name Cissy Saint.

217
00:17:21,619 --> 00:17:24,139
Great. Thanks. See you then.

218
00:17:24,219 --> 00:17:27,740
Okay, Franklin, I...

219
00:17:27,820 --> 00:17:30,459
Examiner?

220
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:32,699
- You shouldn't be here.
- Well, we need to talk.

221
00:17:32,780 --> 00:17:35,419
You had your chance to talk to me.
You chose a reporter instead.

222
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:37,236
Well, I might've gone
about it the wrong way,

223
00:17:37,260 --> 00:17:40,219
but you know I did the right thing.

224
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:42,300
You see what's going on down here?

225
00:17:42,379 --> 00:17:45,379
The same war we were fighting
in the Panthers, only worse.

226
00:17:45,459 --> 00:17:47,195
- You didn't give me a choice.
- You're right.

227
00:17:47,219 --> 00:17:50,300
I thought I was making the best
decision for all of us.

228
00:17:50,379 --> 00:17:52,899
And I still do.

229
00:17:52,980 --> 00:17:56,300
I got Top Notch
getting us fake passports.

230
00:17:56,379 --> 00:17:59,540
We got money, each other,
two flights.

231
00:17:59,619 --> 00:18:03,219
We leave predawn,
we're in Havana by dinner.

232
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:07,540
Franklin'll never leave
with you now.

233
00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:09,859
He's got to make his
own choices now.

234
00:18:11,020 --> 00:18:14,260
This is about
me and you, our future,

235
00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:18,060
the second half of our lives, Cissy.

236
00:18:18,139 --> 00:18:23,020
No more drugs, no more violence,
just us.

237
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,020
You can leave me a
message at the shelter.

238
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:27,060
It'll get to me.

239
00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:31,740
I love you.

240
00:19:33,659 --> 00:19:36,740
Jesus, he even got the safe.

241
00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:38,419
But you can't be serious.

242
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:41,179
Got to show respect
for Fatback and his family.

243
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:43,699
Do the right thing by them boys
down in the projects.

244
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:47,379
While we got a bounty on our heads?
Skully gonna expect us to be there.

245
00:19:47,459 --> 00:19:50,036
- It'd be the perfect time to try us.
- Then let 'em fucking try us.

246
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:51,835
I ain't scared of the
goddamn niggas, all right?

247
00:19:51,859 --> 00:19:54,100
Jerome, baby, I know you mad,

248
00:19:54,179 --> 00:19:56,699
and you got a every right
to be... I lied to you.

249
00:19:56,780 --> 00:19:59,939
And Franklin lied to you.
But going to this funeral

250
00:20:00,020 --> 00:20:04,740
and fucking around in the projects,
you-you looking for trouble.

251
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:08,300
I got to look for it
When it's all around us, Louie?

252
00:20:08,379 --> 00:20:10,980
'Cause you the one that put us
here, you and Franklin.

253
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:13,740
You the one out here setting fires.

254
00:20:13,820 --> 00:20:16,619
And then you gonna blame me
when the shit get hot.

255
00:20:16,699 --> 00:20:20,459
No, fuck all of that. I'm putting
all you bitches on notice right now.

256
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:23,659
Yeah, and that starts with me going
to Fatback's funeral.

257
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:25,780
'Cause them boys in the projects...

258
00:20:25,859 --> 00:20:28,500
They the only ones
I can trust right now.

259
00:20:28,580 --> 00:20:31,419
And you want to sit this one out.

260
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:35,219
Stay holed up
in your little ivory tower.

261
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:36,899
Sound about right.

262
00:21:17,899 --> 00:21:19,340
No.

263
00:22:40,379 --> 00:22:42,340
Hey.

264
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:45,540
How can I help?

265
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:49,619
Hmm.
You being here is help enough.

266
00:22:51,459 --> 00:22:53,179
Look...

267
00:22:53,260 --> 00:22:55,780
I know this means
you might have eyes on you.

268
00:22:55,859 --> 00:22:57,419
Have trouble moving around.

269
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,100
So, if you need anything...
And I mean anything...

270
00:23:00,179 --> 00:23:03,340
Taken care of while you got heat,
I got you.

271
00:23:06,139 --> 00:23:07,580
Yeah.

272
00:23:07,659 --> 00:23:10,859
I appreciate the offer
and your concern,

273
00:23:12,060 --> 00:23:14,419
but it ain't your problem to solve.

274
00:23:25,419 --> 00:23:28,260
You don't have
to do this alone, you know.

275
00:24:48,939 --> 00:24:50,580
- Hell... Oh.
- Mrs. Saint.

276
00:24:50,659 --> 00:24:52,300
My apologies
for showing up unannounced.

277
00:24:52,379 --> 00:24:54,699
I was just
on my way to meet Paul.

278
00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:58,340
Well, I'm glad I caught you.
Unfortunately, Mr. Davis is unavailable

279
00:24:58,419 --> 00:25:02,980
to meet this morning,
but he wanted me to give you this.

280
00:25:12,379 --> 00:25:15,340
This money was a gift.
A token of our faith.

281
00:25:15,419 --> 00:25:19,419
Yes. Unfortunately,
circumstances have changed.

282
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:24,459
- Why am I not surprised?
- REYNOLDS: Look, Irene,

283
00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:27,580
I've been supportive of everything
you've wanted to print up until now.

284
00:25:27,659 --> 00:25:29,580
But this paper cannot be responsible

285
00:25:29,659 --> 00:25:32,859
for outing the identity
of an active CIA officer.

286
00:25:32,939 --> 00:25:35,820
- What about his alias?
- Arguably even worse.

287
00:25:35,899 --> 00:25:39,419
It'll blow his cover to every
one of his assets and contacts.

288
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:41,859
You mean drug and arms dealers?

289
00:25:41,939 --> 00:25:43,780
Think you're feeling
government pressure now?

290
00:25:43,859 --> 00:25:46,939
Get a CIA officer killed,
see what happens.

291
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:50,020
He's bringing cocaine
into the United States

292
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,459
to fight an illegal war, and
we're supposed to protect him?

293
00:25:57,379 --> 00:25:59,379
- CHARLIE: Walter.
- Charlie...

294
00:25:59,459 --> 00:26:01,580
This is Ben Lundberg, our lead counsel.

295
00:26:01,659 --> 00:26:03,939
And these gentlemen
are from the Pentagon.

296
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:06,980
We've got the conference room
upstairs booked.

297
00:26:07,060 --> 00:26:09,740
We need a few minutes.

298
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:59,219
Want to thank y'all
for coming out for the homie.

299
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:01,020
Appreciate it.

300
00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:07,179
There he go.
That motherfucker right there.

301
00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:09,395
BLACK DIAMOND: Good. This heat
is sweating out my curls.

302
00:27:09,419 --> 00:27:11,419
Bitch, you know you like the heat.

303
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:14,859
Y'all want to shut the fuck up
and move? Please.

304
00:27:15,939 --> 00:27:18,100
Hey, Jerome.

305
00:27:19,659 --> 00:27:22,820
I'm-a catch up to y'all.

306
00:27:25,859 --> 00:27:27,859
Appreciate you coming.

307
00:27:27,939 --> 00:27:29,859
LOUIE:
Mm-hmm.

308
00:27:29,939 --> 00:27:32,780
If you got to be here,
I'm here, too.

309
00:27:42,139 --> 00:27:44,219
FRANKLIN: Are you okay?

310
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,300
- Lee!
- LEON: I'm good.

311
00:27:46,379 --> 00:27:50,060
- JEROME: Louie! Louie!
- Oh... Lou, Lou, Lou...

312
00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:57,219
I have to hold it!

313
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:00,419
Oh. No, hold on, baby.

314
00:28:02,379 --> 00:28:06,100
Get an ambulance, man!
Get a fucking ambulance!

315
00:28:06,179 --> 00:28:07,899
Oh, shit, hold on. Hold on.

316
00:28:15,899 --> 00:28:17,580
JEROME:
Stay with me, please.

317
00:28:17,659 --> 00:28:19,540
I fucking love you.

318
00:28:19,619 --> 00:28:22,100
I love you.
I love you, baby.

319
00:28:22,179 --> 00:28:25,060
Don't leave me.
Oh, shit.

320
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:39,459
She's in surgery.
No word yet.

321
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:44,939
- CISSY: Baby. I'm here.
- Lee.

322
00:28:54,619 --> 00:28:57,580
Listen, man, we got
to keep an eye on Jerome.

323
00:28:57,659 --> 00:28:59,659
As soon as Louie
gets out of surgery,

324
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:01,659
first thing he's gonna do,
he's gonna charge up

325
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:04,419
to that barbershop,
and they'll be waiting.

326
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:07,179
You saw who it was, right?

327
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:10,540
Not Manboy or Skully.
It was that little girl's mama.

328
00:29:13,619 --> 00:29:16,300
TANOSSE:
Khadijah.

329
00:29:16,379 --> 00:29:18,659
Yeah.
Her and these two bitches.

330
00:29:18,740 --> 00:29:21,100
Might've been them
that killed Fatback.

331
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:26,020
I can find out who they were.

332
00:29:28,619 --> 00:29:30,540
All right.
Yeah.

333
00:29:30,619 --> 00:29:32,340
Yeah.
Thanks, T.

334
00:29:32,419 --> 00:29:34,060
- I'll page you.
- Mm-hmm.

335
00:29:42,340 --> 00:29:44,780
Sorry to ask this,
but I don't know how long

336
00:29:44,859 --> 00:29:47,580
I have to stay off the grid,
and I'd be more comfortable

337
00:29:47,659 --> 00:29:49,260
if you hold onto them.

338
00:29:49,340 --> 00:29:52,500
Off the grid?
Are you listening to yourself?

339
00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:54,300
I don't need this from you
right now, okay?

340
00:29:54,379 --> 00:29:58,100
I think you do. If the paper won't fight
this fight, why should you?

341
00:29:58,179 --> 00:29:59,659
Because I refuse
to wake up every day

342
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:01,939
for the rest of my life
knowing that I had the truth

343
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:04,899
and they scared me off it.

344
00:30:06,980 --> 00:30:10,859
- Stubborn woman.
- Yeah, well, you married me.

345
00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:19,899
Well, I can't just
let you go off alone.

346
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:23,100
You can stay with me.

347
00:30:24,340 --> 00:30:25,939
No.

348
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:29,340
I said I wouldn't let this
touch you or Jane, and I meant it.

349
00:30:31,859 --> 00:30:33,540
Where will you go?

350
00:30:33,619 --> 00:30:36,699
I'm exhausted. I... just
want one more night in my house.

351
00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:39,780
I'll figure it out tomorrow.

352
00:30:39,859 --> 00:30:42,340
Call me when you get settled?

353
00:30:43,619 --> 00:30:45,699
Okay.

354
00:30:46,859 --> 00:30:49,580
You'd think,
after all these years...

355
00:30:51,699 --> 00:30:54,740
I'd have more things
I really cared about.

356
00:31:05,659 --> 00:31:07,699
Everybody else...

357
00:31:08,939 --> 00:31:12,020
got their head in the sand...

358
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:21,659
and you stand up
straight and tall.

359
00:31:27,020 --> 00:31:30,139
You got so much more than most.

360
00:31:35,139 --> 00:31:38,260
I am so proud of you, baby.

361
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:44,300
Thank you.

362
00:31:59,379 --> 00:32:00,780
MANBOY: Hold up. She did what?

363
00:32:00,859 --> 00:32:03,619
TANOSSE: Shot up a fucking
funeral, Drew, while I was there.

364
00:32:03,699 --> 00:32:06,419
- She hit anybody?
- She could have got me.

365
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:08,859
- So she did?
- They got Louie.

366
00:32:08,939 --> 00:32:11,179
She alive, but it don't look good.

367
00:32:12,419 --> 00:32:14,060
Jerome about
to be on the warpath.

368
00:32:14,139 --> 00:32:16,459
If you want me
to get you their connect,

369
00:32:16,540 --> 00:32:19,020
you got to get your sister
to stand the fuck down.

370
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:21,100
You don't think I tried that?

371
00:32:21,179 --> 00:32:22,740
Shit.

372
00:32:24,139 --> 00:32:28,379
All right, look.
Uh, might be a way I can get this done.

373
00:32:28,459 --> 00:32:32,379
So do it then. What the fuck
is you still talking to me for?

374
00:32:33,939 --> 00:32:37,500
Call Loc and Twin. Tell them
bring their Uzis and rounds.

375
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:40,500
We gonna have some company tonight.

376
00:32:49,899 --> 00:32:52,699
- HAVEMEYER: We need to talk.
- Yeah, we do.

377
00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:55,619
Things in Nicaragua
are a lot worse than we thought.

378
00:32:55,699 --> 00:32:59,740
Later.
We got a bigger problem.

379
00:33:07,179 --> 00:33:08,699
Hey, where you going?

380
00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:12,540
- JEROME: Get some air.
- You want me to roll with you?

381
00:33:35,859 --> 00:33:40,060
I can't believe we're back
in this hospital.

382
00:33:40,139 --> 00:33:44,340
Another one of ours
fighting to survive.

383
00:33:46,540 --> 00:33:48,740
Well, we got through that.

384
00:33:48,820 --> 00:33:50,699
Hmm?

385
00:33:50,780 --> 00:33:53,740
And we'll get through this.

386
00:33:58,379 --> 00:34:01,939
Willy Childress came to see me.

387
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:03,780
He returned our money.

388
00:34:03,859 --> 00:34:05,699
Paul Davis is out.
It's over.

389
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:13,900
God. Those motherfuckers, man.
They just scared.

390
00:34:13,980 --> 00:34:15,380
- I just...
- So am I, Franklin.

391
00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:18,060
Yeah, but this is all gonna
blow over, you know,

392
00:34:18,139 --> 00:34:19,860
and then they gonna come
crawling back.

393
00:34:19,940 --> 00:34:21,795
And if they don't, then there's
other investors, right?

394
00:34:21,819 --> 00:34:24,900
No reputable businessperson
is gonna get into bed with us.

395
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:28,739
Not after all of this.
The article?

396
00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:32,060
We're never gonna be legitimate.

397
00:34:40,819 --> 00:34:43,900
Look, uh, I got to,
um... I got to go.

398
00:34:43,980 --> 00:34:46,420
Look, um...
we'll talk another time.

399
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:49,259
- Love you.
- I'm moving out of the house.

400
00:34:49,339 --> 00:34:51,139
What?

401
00:34:52,420 --> 00:34:55,580
You moving out the house?

402
00:34:55,659 --> 00:34:59,179
And going where?

403
00:34:59,259 --> 00:35:01,339
I don't know yet.

404
00:35:01,420 --> 00:35:05,100
- Away from South Central.
- Not with Alton?

405
00:35:07,139 --> 00:35:10,020
No, not with Alton.

406
00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:14,460
I'm done getting caught
between the two of you.

407
00:35:14,540 --> 00:35:18,460
No longer a mother and wife first.

408
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:21,540
Start taking care of myself.

409
00:35:28,219 --> 00:35:30,739
Look, at least...

410
00:35:32,259 --> 00:35:34,699
Give me a few hours, okay?

411
00:35:34,779 --> 00:35:36,460
I'll be back in a little while,

412
00:35:36,540 --> 00:35:39,779
and we'll take care of all of this.

413
00:35:39,860 --> 00:35:42,699
Promise.
Okay?

414
00:35:42,779 --> 00:35:45,219
Huh?

415
00:35:55,860 --> 00:35:57,739
Watch over Jerome.

416
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:15,699
FRANKLIN: Where the fuck you been?
Drunk in a ditch somewhere?

417
00:36:15,779 --> 00:36:17,235
TEDDY:
Doesn't matter where I've been.

418
00:36:17,259 --> 00:36:19,580
How the fuck
did you let that happen?

419
00:36:20,980 --> 00:36:22,619
How do you think it happened?

420
00:36:22,699 --> 00:36:24,819
- My pops figured it out.
- Yeah!

421
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:26,755
And then he told some
fucking reporter about it?

422
00:36:26,779 --> 00:36:28,460
And you had no idea that
this was coming?

423
00:36:28,540 --> 00:36:32,619
What? He's my fucking father, man.
I thought I could trust him.

424
00:36:34,139 --> 00:36:36,299
What is that, blood?

425
00:36:38,299 --> 00:36:40,460
Yeah.

426
00:36:40,540 --> 00:36:42,540
There was a shooting.

427
00:36:42,619 --> 00:36:46,980
- Louie got hit.
- What? Wait, what?

428
00:36:49,739 --> 00:36:52,699
- Is she all right?
- She's in surgery.

429
00:36:54,219 --> 00:36:58,380
Doctors say it's a... coin flip.

430
00:36:58,460 --> 00:37:00,900
I'm sorry.

431
00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:04,259
But if we don't stop this,
there is no tomorrow.

432
00:37:04,339 --> 00:37:05,739
That's the reality.

433
00:37:05,819 --> 00:37:07,659
Now, I got my people
working on stopping

434
00:37:07,739 --> 00:37:09,739
the second part from being published,

435
00:37:09,819 --> 00:37:11,860
but we have to get
this reporter under control.

436
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:13,860
- Already tried.
- What does that mean?

437
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:15,739
It means I met up with her.

438
00:37:15,819 --> 00:37:17,996
Tried to get her to understand
that she's fucking around

439
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:20,659
with the wrong people.
Look, you was gone.

440
00:37:20,739 --> 00:37:23,460
Okay? You was gone. I had to try
something. I had no choice.

441
00:37:23,540 --> 00:37:26,020
All right, all right.
All right, all right, all right.

442
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:27,940
How did she take it?

443
00:37:28,020 --> 00:37:29,860
Well, she ain't soft.

444
00:37:31,060 --> 00:37:33,940
I don't think empty threats
gonna get the job done.

445
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:37,060
All right. I'll take care
of her from here on out.

446
00:37:37,139 --> 00:37:41,179
What I need from you
is to put a muzzle on your father.

447
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:43,940
Is that something that you can do?

448
00:37:44,020 --> 00:37:45,339
Uh-huh.

449
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:52,619
I thought for sure this was over.

450
00:37:52,699 --> 00:37:54,619
That you'd cut me loose.

451
00:37:54,699 --> 00:37:56,619
Never hear from you again.

452
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:01,739
Well, I told you
I'd be there with you.

453
00:38:01,819 --> 00:38:03,580
You remember?

454
00:38:03,659 --> 00:38:05,699
I will.

455
00:38:11,619 --> 00:38:13,860
But listen to me.

456
00:38:13,940 --> 00:38:17,819
From here on,
you just can't trust anyone.

457
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:20,219
Because when push comes to shove,

458
00:38:20,299 --> 00:38:23,219
all anybody cares about
is saving themselves.

459
00:38:27,179 --> 00:38:29,060
You know that.

460
00:38:54,420 --> 00:38:57,060
FRANKLIN:
Louie.

461
00:38:57,139 --> 00:39:00,299
Out of surgery.
They say they got her stable.

462
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:02,980
Thank God.

463
00:39:03,060 --> 00:39:04,540
Mom inside?

464
00:39:04,619 --> 00:39:07,860
She left as soon as she
found out Louie was cool, so...

465
00:39:07,940 --> 00:39:09,779
- NURSE: Jerome?
- Yeah.

466
00:39:09,860 --> 00:39:11,420
NURSE:
You want to come on back?

467
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:14,540
Y'all get ready. The minute
I finish sitting with her,

468
00:39:14,619 --> 00:39:16,659
we gonna get these motherfuckers.

469
00:39:19,819 --> 00:39:21,420
I've been paging you.

470
00:39:23,139 --> 00:39:25,699
My bad, I was... busy.

471
00:39:25,779 --> 00:39:27,860
What do you have?

472
00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:30,339
Black Diamond and Dallas.

473
00:39:30,420 --> 00:39:32,460
That's who Khadijah was with.

474
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:35,900
Never heard of 'em.

475
00:39:35,980 --> 00:39:38,980
Used to be dancers,
if you can believe that shit.

476
00:39:39,060 --> 00:39:42,580
Now they straight hustlers.
In it for the cash.

477
00:39:42,659 --> 00:39:44,940
But they're dangerous.

478
00:39:46,259 --> 00:39:49,420
And something else I heard
while I was asking around.

479
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:50,940
Uh-huh?

480
00:39:51,020 --> 00:39:53,139
You know Manboy been
after your plug?

481
00:39:53,219 --> 00:39:55,460
Everybody want the hookup.
It ain't no secret.

482
00:39:55,540 --> 00:39:59,819
Yeah, but apparently Drew been
leaning into it heavy.

483
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:02,420
Boy borderline obsessed.

484
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:07,980
- Drew has, huh?
- Yeah.

485
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:10,420
Where you going with this?

486
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:15,060
I thought if you wanted to avoid
a war, there might be a way.

487
00:40:16,460 --> 00:40:20,580
Make a deal with Manboy.
Agree to offer him the plug.

488
00:40:20,659 --> 00:40:23,339
In exchange, he talks Khadijah down.

489
00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:24,980
Brokers peace.

490
00:40:25,060 --> 00:40:27,380
LEON:
Tianna was his niece.

491
00:40:27,460 --> 00:40:30,619
You think he gonna let
that shit go for a plug?

492
00:40:30,699 --> 00:40:33,739
Y'all know Drew.
He a businessman.

493
00:40:33,819 --> 00:40:37,020
Ain't nothing more important
to him than his money.

494
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,299
And he's the only person
on this earth

495
00:40:39,380 --> 00:40:42,139
who might be able
to talk Khadijah down.

496
00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:48,779
- Let me think on it, hmm?
- Mm-hmm.

497
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:56,339
Even if that motherfucker agree,

498
00:40:56,420 --> 00:40:59,739
if he get the plug, we can't trust
he gonna keep his word.

499
00:40:59,819 --> 00:41:02,420
No, we can't.

500
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,619
Can't trust any of it.

501
00:41:08,420 --> 00:41:10,819
- Fuck.
- What?

502
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:17,779
Whatever happens, keep Jerome here.
All right? I'll be back.

503
00:41:17,860 --> 00:41:20,100
Okay.

504
00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:28,779
Peaches!

505
00:41:32,139 --> 00:41:34,540
Go get the car.

506
00:41:56,819 --> 00:41:59,299
All right.

507
00:41:59,380 --> 00:42:01,980
Head home and make the call.

508
00:42:02,060 --> 00:42:05,659
Tell Drew I'll make the deal.

509
00:42:05,739 --> 00:42:07,940
All right?

510
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:11,980
Got some shit I got to do.
But page me once it's done.

511
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:14,500
I'll see you later.

512
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:22,179
I love you, Louie.

513
00:43:30,699 --> 00:43:32,699
Quiet, quiet, quiet.

514
00:43:32,779 --> 00:43:36,860
I know that you think
you're doing the right thing.

515
00:43:36,940 --> 00:43:38,500
You're not.

516
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:43,460
Tomorrow you'll wake up.

517
00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:45,500
Next time you won't.

518
00:44:11,420 --> 00:44:14,619
LEON:
How is she?

519
00:44:14,699 --> 00:44:16,619
She all fucked up, man.

520
00:44:16,699 --> 00:44:20,100
She got tubes,
fucking wires coming out of her.

521
00:44:20,179 --> 00:44:23,860
She barely look like herself, man.

522
00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:26,179
- Come on.
- Hold on, what you want to do?

523
00:44:26,259 --> 00:44:28,980
Fuck you mean, what I want to do?

524
00:44:29,060 --> 00:44:31,179
I want to roll down
to the goddamn projects.

525
00:44:31,259 --> 00:44:33,619
Get the straps.

526
00:44:33,699 --> 00:44:37,060
Get the head-hunting niggas.

527
00:44:37,139 --> 00:44:39,860
Kill every motherfucker in
that goddamn barbershop, nigga.

528
00:44:39,940 --> 00:44:43,299
- Every goddamn nigga that we see.
- All right, Jerome. I hear you.

529
00:44:43,380 --> 00:44:45,940
But Franklin want us to wait here.

530
00:44:48,139 --> 00:44:51,659
Fuck Franklin, nigga.

531
00:44:51,739 --> 00:44:54,460
They shot my baby up, man.

532
00:44:55,659 --> 00:44:58,900
Now come on.
Come on, man.

533
00:45:20,619 --> 00:45:23,500
- Yeah?
- TANOSSE: Okay. He'll give you the plug.

534
00:45:23,580 --> 00:45:26,779
You just got to convince him you're
gonna get your sister to back down,

535
00:45:26,860 --> 00:45:30,900
then just stall Khadijah long enough
to make it seem real.

536
00:45:30,980 --> 00:45:32,619
MANBOY:
How soon?

537
00:45:32,699 --> 00:45:36,060
First I want the rest of my money

538
00:45:36,139 --> 00:45:38,819

my brother gonna be okay.

539
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:41,259
- I promise.
- And just so you know,

540
00:45:41,339 --> 00:45:43,580
Jerome and his folks
talking a lot of shit.

541
00:45:43,659 --> 00:45:46,860
- Gonna come at you tonight.
- Let 'em come.

542
00:45:46,940 --> 00:45:48,259
They funeral.

543
00:46:25,819 --> 00:46:27,659
FRANKLIN: Hey, T.

544
00:46:38,299 --> 00:46:41,219
How long you been playing me?

545
00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:45,460
