(knocking on door)
- What's up?
- Hey.
- Well damn.
- Hey.
- Why y'all walk in here like
somebody died or something?
- Yeah, my bank
account just died.
- Mm-hm.
- [Jada] Both of
y'all lost y'all jobs?
- Yes, girl.
I don't even know what
we gonna do, for real.
I mean, you know everybody
out here losing their jobs.
- Yeah, man. It's
fucked up out here.
I mean, ain't no work.
- Ain't no damn work.
- Nothing.
(Leah sighing)
- Y'all, we gotta move
the fuck outta this town.
- Leah, how the fuck
we gonna do that?
We barely can even pay our rent.
- Jada, chill the
fuck out, all right?
Look, all I'm saying is
we need to find options
or something. That's
all I'm saying.
- Mm-hm. Yes.
We need to find
options because y'all,
I'm scared to go home today.
I mean, y'all know
Marquis is gonna be mad
and I really don't want
to deal with him today.
- Shanice, listen.
First of all, Marquis, he
need to find a fucking job.
All right?
When's the last
time he had a job?
And how is he gonna get
mad at you for something
that is out of your
control? You got laid off.
- Yeah, girl, she's,
she got a point.
Look, this was
outta your control.
Don't be scared to
tell him what happened.
- Mm-hm.
And I'm also right
that he ain't shit
and he a bum ass nigga.
- She's right
about that one too.
- [Jada] Mm.
- But look, we've been telling
you that for years now,
like Marquis, he cannot just
be home, playing that game,
not doing nothing, just
chilling all damn day.
Especially not right now.
- Okay, y'all.
Y'all been a little
hard right now.
I mean, sometimes he be working.
Okay, I remember
like three years ago
he had that warehouse job.
I mean, it was a good job.
And he was working,
like, what, couple months
and then something
happened where he got...
- [Jada] Yeah, he got fired.
- [Shanice] For some
reason. I don't remember.
- Yeah, maybe because
he's not showing up.
Hmm? Maybe that?
- Yeah.
He can't never keep a job.
- He doesn't work.
Stop making excuses for him.
- All right, y'all, look,
let's just focus on
what we gonna do about
our job situations.
- I'm just saying.
Marquis better not say
because you know me.
I'll put his ass in his place.
- I know. I know.
- [Leah] You know she will.
- I know she will, but it
don't need to go that far.
Calm down.
- [Jada] I'm just saying
Marquis better not snap off
because you know
how I get. Okay?
- We do.
- [Jada] Done it before.
- Yeah, we know
you'll do it again.
- Yeah, but you
know they did say
that if business picks back
up, they will rehire us.
So maybe that'll
happen soon. Right?
And we can get back to
work and we'll be okay.
- Girl, we could be
waiting forever for that.
I mean, we need
something to happen now.
- Y'all, just hear me out.
I really think we need
to start looking outside
of this area.
Ain't nothing around here.
- Listen, hey.
How about we pour some drinks,
ease our mind,
play a old fashioned
card game or something.
What? Some spades
or something, huh?
- [Leah] Right now?
- Little blackjack.
I declared war.
What y'all want? Come on, I'm
gonna get y'all some drinks.
- Alright. Okay.
- All right.
- Leah, you really think we
could find work somewhere else?
- Yeah, we could find something.
We gonna find something.
- Girl, man, you know my
car is still broke down
and I'm gonna have
to catch that bus.
Oh, it stinks so bad.
- Well, look, you know, if we
get a job at the same place,
then I'ma just give
you a ride to work.
- Yeah, but I still
gotta, you know,
I gotta, I gotta fix
my car, you know?
Can't be relying on
you all the time.
- Oh, hold up.
Why don't you contact that
guy down the street, Rodney?
- Oh, yes.
And you know he like you, girl.
- First of all,
Rodney's not cute, okay?
- No, he's not.
- And he don't have money.
- But he know how
to fix cars though.
- That part. (laughing)
- Yeah, but you know what?
I just think I'm just gonna
find something closer to home,
and then once I
get my car fixed,
I'll probably look for
something out, out the way.
- Mm.
- Or out of the
way, should I say.
- Right.
(Jada chuckling)
- But hold up.
Jada, you've been outta
work for a couple weeks now.
I mean, have you gotten
an interview anywhere?
- Um, I mean, no,
but I'm pretty sure
something will come through.
I'll just have to be patient.
- Yeah, but y'all,
I don't have time to
be patient right now.
I mean, patience is not
gonna pay the bills.
- [Jada] That's right.
- Hold up. Shanice,
so you don't have
any money at all?
- I mean, not after I
paid this rent I won't.
- Come on, man. Are you serious?
Are you giving all
your money to Marquis?
What the fuck is he
doing with that money?
Buying weed, crack?
- [Shanice] No.
- Heroin? What is
he shooting up?
- [Shanice] Really?
- All right. All right.
Look, Shanice.
I have a little bit
in my savings account
so I can hook you up
with something, girl.
- Damn Shanice, you just
fucking up my buzz, man.
- [Leah] Jada, can
you stop, please?
- [Shanice] Nah, nah, nah, nah.
It's cool. It's cool.
Jadas right.
Marquis just gotta step up.
- [Jada] You damn right.
- All right, look ladies.
We need to stay positive.
Jada.
- It's a sign.
I was watching something
on TV yesterday
and it said, "The power
of positive thinking."
(all laughing)
- No, I like that. I like that.
- [Jada] Yeah?
- Yep. Stay positive.
Let's do that.
- See, there y'all go. Let's
speak it into existence.
- [Jada] Let's do it.
- But we are all
going to find jobs.
Trust me.
- [Jada] Better jobs.
Better jobs.
- Yes, netter jobs.
Oh Lord, please.
- [Jada] Oh, wow.
- Bless us all.
- Damn, Shanice.
I didn't know you hated
your job that much.
- I mean, yes.
It was all right. It
was all right, okay?
But I know we can
do better. Mm-hm.
- See,
that's where that positive
mindset is coming from.
I like it. You see that?
- All right. Y'all, to...
- Oh.
- making positive progress.
- All right, I'll drink to that.
Let's do it.
- Yes.
- Mm.
- This is good.
- Yes.
- Oh, yes it is.
- I put an extra
shot in there too,
(Leah laughing)
just to let y'all know.
- I know, but I
can't drink too much.
Y'all know Marquis. He
don't like when I drink.
- Girl, shut up.
(controller buttons clicking)
- What's up, man?
The fuck you look like that for?
Thought you was working
overtime or some shit.
- No, I, um.
I was just with Leah and Jada.
- How many times I told you,
you gotta stop hanging around
with them dumb ass bitches, man.
They put all these dumb
ass ideas in your head.
- Babe, don't call them that.
Those are my friends.
What's wrong with you?
- Yeah, they friends
you need to get rid of.
- Babe.
Not today, okay?
All right.
Look, we need to talk.
(Marquis slamming controller)
- I don't know what the
fuck that bitch told you,
but I never did shit with her.
I don't even know her name.
I never tried, I
never texted her.
She always text me.
I blocked her, I told her
to stop fucking texting me,
like, I got a girl.
Like, it's, it's too much.
- What are you talking
about right now?
- What you talking about?
- Clearly not what
you're talking about.
Whatever that was.
All I said was we have to talk.
- It's this, it's this.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Forget all that shit.
I just thought maybe
one of 'em bitches
said some dumb shit,
making up lies.
You know how they do, babe.
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about that.
I'm fucking drunk.
I thought, like, maybe your,
them drunk fucking
girl said some shit
that was a lie.
I, I mean, you know,
you know how you do
and, and, and I'm drunk.
You want some?
Like, forget about that.
- No, I don't want any.
- Forget about that, babe.
What's up? I'm sorry.
- Oh my God. I.
- Talk to me. What's up?
- We're not gonna
forget about that.
We're coming back to that, okay?
- I promise you it's
good. I promise you.
Don't worry about it. It's
just, it's a lot going on.
I'm drunk, you know?
And the heat of the moment.
That's all. What's up, baby?
- I wanna know who she is.
- There is nobody. It's nothing.
I told you I'm fucked up.
Like, don't worry
about that shit.
- Yeah, all right.
- Talk to me.
What's up with you?
What's going on, baby?
- No, it's whatever.
- Nah, tell me what's up.
- All right. Don't be mad, okay?
- I can't get mad
at you. All sexy.
- Thanks.
All right. I, I
got laid off today.
I, I know, it's crazy.
But I just need you to help out.
Just get a job.
It, it'll be
temporary, you know,
until I can find something else.
- Get the, what the fuck, man?
How the fuck did you get fired?
- I didn't get fired.
I got laid off.
It's two different things, babe.
Please.
- Do you go to work tomorrow?
Did, do you have a job?
No, you're fired. Fired!
- Okay, first of all,
you're saying it like
it's my fault or something.
- It is your fault.
- What the fuck you
mean it is my fault?
- I know how you be
fucking up at work.
I be hearing you on the
phone, you be calling out,
all that dumb shit, man.
Like, fuck. You messing
up my life right now, man.
The f...
- Okay, I don't be
messing up at work.
First of all, you
always calling me,
always texting me, then get
mad when I don't respond.
So those are the only times
I've ever been in trouble
at work.
But other than
that, first of all,
that's not even the point. Okay?
All right. Everybody's
losing their job right now.
Are you watching the news?
Do you see what's going on?
- How the fuck am I
gonna watch the news
when I'm watching, if
I'm playing the game.
Tell me how?
- Oh my God, fuck your game.
Look, okay.
I'm being serious right now.
I need you to go
get a job, okay?
- [Marquis] Babe.
- Please.
- I'm waiting. I told
you like 50 times.
I'm waiting on Berg
about that job thing.
This shit just don't
happen overnight.
- Okay, well, that's
not gonna work.
Okay? You need to
go find a job ASAP.
Whatever that is with Berg
is not happening clearly.
- The, the problem I, I tried,
I filled out other applications.
Everybody talking about I might
have to fucking
stop smoking weed
or, or, or work on
the weekends. I can't!
We be, me and Berg be
chilling on the weekends, man.
You fucking up my life, man.
- Whatever.
Okay, first of all,
you're just gonna have to
stop smoking weed, all right?
And you're just gonna
have to work weekends,
overnights, whatever it takes.
(Marquis laughing)
- You want me to
stop smoking weed?
- Yes.
- Yeah, you tripping.
- Oh my God.
Look, I am dead ass
serious right now,
and you're not listening.
I need you to get a job, babe.
Come on, please.
- All right. All right.
All right, I'ma do what
I can do, all right?
I'm a hit Berg up. See
what's up with that.
And, and that's all I can do.
I'm, I'm waiting on it.
That's all I can do. All right?
- Okay, well, I'm out here
looking for another job,
and I, I just, I know
something's gonna come through.
I feel it.
- For you it is.
- Okay.
Thank you, babe.
- I promise you. I got you.
- Yeah?
- All right?
- All right.
- Sexy ass.
(Shanice chuckling)
(TV laughter)
- [TV] So all I said
was, "What you gonna do?"
(Jada laughing)
(phone buzzing)
- Hey, Jada, what's up?
- I know we was talking about
being positive and all that,
but you really think
we gonna find jobs?
- Yeah, I do.
Look, we gonna
figure this thing out
just like we figure
out everything else.
- I don't know, man.
I can see the shit
people talking about,
but I don't, I don't
see it looking good.
- Girl, you gotta stop listening
to what everybody's
talking about. All right?
Look, we gonna make it
work one way or another.
- But do you really think we
gonna be able to find work?
- Yeah.
Look, if we stay focused and
we keep looking for jobs,
we're definitely
gonna find something.
- Yeah. That shit
makes me so nervous.
- Yeah, girl, me too.
But, look, we just gotta
stay focused. That's all.
- But girl, do you
really think Shanice
is gonna tell Marquis to
get a job? (chuckling)
- Girl, I hope so.
He really need to start
helping her. Like, it's crazy.
- I just really hate
the way he treats her.
She deserves so much
better than that, you know?
- Yeah, she does.
And I tell her
that all the time.
But I, I don't know
if she believes me
when I say it.
I don't, but
I don't know girl.
- You know, sometimes
the things that I say,
it sinks in, but other times
I really feel like it
goes right over her head.
She don't listen, for
real, like, I don't know.
- I mean, Marquis says
a lot to deal with,
but I don't think
she's over there
just letting him
run all over her
and not doing anything
about it. You know?
- You sure about that?
- I mean, it's really
none of our business.
And I think as long as she has
us, you know, she'll be fine.
- Yeah.
I, I just feel like you
putting too much faith in her.
I don't see that
happening at all, girl.
- Come on, Jada, girl.
She's stronger than
you think she is.
You gotta give her
a little credit.
Dang.
- Nope. I don't see it.
I just feel like it's gonna be
the same thing it always is.
(birds chirping)
- So what happened when you
told Marquis you got laid off?
- Girl, exactly what I
thought was gonna happen.
He got mad at me and made it
sound like it was my fault.
- So did you explain to him
that this was
outta your control?
- Mm, you know I did,
but I don't think he
believed me, for real.
- You want me to
call and talk to him?
I mean, he does know that
we all got laid off, right?
It's not just you.
- Girl, no, ain't no
talking to that man.
But you know what he said?
"You be fucking up at work,
so that's probably
why you gotta let go."
- He really said that?
- [Shanice] Yes,
girl. He said that.
- Ugh, girl,
I don't even know
how you got mixed up
with a dude like Marquis.
He's just so fucking ignorant.
- I know, I know.
But you know, he wasn't
always like that.
I mean, back in high
school, he was a sweetheart.
And you know, he made me
fall in love with him.
It was good in the beginning,
but I don't know what
happened. (sighing)
Girl, I'd never been
written up before. Never.
But you know what?
He be calling me all
the time at work,
and he get mad when I
don't pick up the phone.
That's the only time
I did get in trouble,
made a few mistakes.
Other than that, I've
never been suspended,
never been written up. Nothing.
- Shanice made a
mistake at work, right?
Girl, I don't even
never remember
you getting in trouble at work.
- Yeah, I know, right?
- So what the fuck
is he talking about?
I mean, he sound like
he's a part of the problem
if you did get fired.
- You know him, always
trying to find a way
to blame me for something.
- Did you tell him that he
gonna have to get a job?
Because I mean, what does he do?
- You know, I told him that.
And you know what he said?
"Oh, nah, see.
I'm waiting on his
phone call from Berg.
He's got me a job set up."
And he's been waiting
forever for this call.
- Girl, don't fall
for that bullshit.
Look, you need to let him know
that he needs to
start helping you out,
or he needs to get out.
It ain't your responsibility
to take care of
no grown ass man.
- Yeah, you're right.
- Does he understand that
you gonna be out here looking
for work too?
- He know that.
He knows I'm out here really
trying to find a job. Ugh.
- Shanice, girl,
you have got to put
your foot down with him.
Don't just be letting
him run all over you.
You better than that.
- No, no, no.
You're right, girl.
Like, I can't be
doing this anymore.
I'm gonna go home
and I'm gonna tell him, well,
I'm gonna pull the plug
out of this game first,
but I'm gonna go home
and I'm gonna tell him
this can't be going on no more.
Playing video games,
hanging out with Berg.
No, you need to go
find a job today.
- Exactly.
But anyways, girl, did you
file for unemployment yet?
- Yeah, girl. I sure did.
I applied the day we
got let go. Did you?
- Yeah, I did too.
- But you know what they said?
We gonna have to
wait a few weeks
before we even get those checks.
And then on top of that,
it's gonna be half of
what we was making.
Half. Ugh.
- Yeah.
Well, I'm taking Jada to a
job interview later today, so.
- Oh, snap.
She got a job interview already?
- Mm-hm.
Well, it was actually
one of the jobs that she,
she applied to this job before
we even got laid off, so.
- Oh, okay.
Well, good. I hope she gets it.
- Yeah, I think she will though.
She already had
a phone interview
and I guess it went
well, so she'll be good.
- Oh, okay.
Well, hey, maybe she can
get hired and put us on.
- Yeah.
- Yes, girl.
Oh my gosh.
Speaking of the devil.
Here go Marquis blowing
up my phone as always.
Let me get up outta here.
- All right, girl.
Well, let me know if you hear
back from any jobs, all right?
- I sure will.
- All right.
- I'll call you later.
- [Leah] Okay. See yah.
- All right.
- Oh, man, that was a good walk.
Hey, babe.
You look for job today?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm working on it.
- So it kind of looks like
you've been playing video
games all day, so I...
- You just got here.
How do you know
what it looks like?
I, I, I am. Just relax.
I got this. All right?
Did you look for work?
- Okay. Hey, come on.
Don't answer a question with
a question, you know that.
I mean, I was just
asking, I mean,
it seems like you
were here all day.
I mean, did you go out
and look for anything?
- I mean, I, I'm still
waiting on a call from Berg.
Didn't I tell you that already?
- Yeah, but
I just think you should go out
and apply for some jobs
while you wait for that call.
That's all, that's
all I'm saying.
- Look, I'm doing
all I can. All right?
I, I'm, I can't do anything
until I get the call.
That's just bottom line.
- Yeah, but babe, I really
need you to help out, for real.
Come on. I need help,
especially with these bills.
- Oh, shit.
- Like, I mean.
- you know what? I forgot.
We got an electric bill,
it came in the mail.
Yeah. Did you get that?
- No, I don't get that.
- Oh, they said that if we
don't pay it by the 26th,
they chopping that
shit. It's gonna be off.
- What? Hold on.
First of all, you
checked the mail,
you won't even let
me have the keys.
So you're asking
me did I get it?
No, you didn't get it to me.
And you said the
25th. Wait, the 25th.
- I put it on your nightstand.
I put it on your nightstand.
- On your side of the
bed, your nightstand?
I, okay. Whatever.
The 25th, babe, I cannot
pay that by the 25th.
Do you know how many
days away that is?
I don't have money
right now for that.
- Why can't you? Why can't you?
All you gotta do is just
use your unemployment check.
- Babe, those unemployment
checks haven't come in yet.
It takes weeks and I don't
even get my full amount of pay.
Oh my God.
- Okay. Okay.
All right. Just chill.
We gonna work this out.
Did you ask your mom?
- Babe, I cannot ask my mom.
First of of all, she
doesn't even like you.
She doesn't like that
we live together.
She told me to leave
you a long time ago.
I, no, she doesn't even
have money right now either.
You know, she's helping
my sister out, so.
Oh, how about you ask your mom?
You know, I think she like me.
- My mom?
- Yeah. Didn't, she
said I was nice.
- She don't like you,
but I can't, I can't.
I, I still owe her that
bread from the, from the,
from the child support payments.
- Wait, child support payments?
You got back on
those again? What?
- I, how did, what the fuck.
It don't disappear. I've
been on child support.
If you would've went to
court, you would've knew.
- Okay, why would I
go to court with you
to see the woman that
you cheated on me
with, got pregnant?
Are you serious right now?
Do I wanna put myself
in that situation?
No, I don't. I don't.
See, and this is why
you have to get a job,
because you have child
support payments.
I'm not gonna be funding
your child support
payments anymore. God.
- Okay, babe, listen.
- No, I just, I.
- I promise you that I am
going to do all that I can
as soon as I get that call.
Can't do shit until
I get the call.
All right?
- All right, babe.
You promise?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I promise.
Can I get back to this, please?
(phone buzzing)
Oh wait, wait. All right.
- All right, babe. I just.
- Yo, Berg.
What up?
(controller buttons clicking)
You up, you, we, we down,
we down this weekend, right?
- Oh my God.
- We in there. Pick me up.
Shanice might let me borrow
her car. I don't know.
(car door slamming)
- Hey, girl.
- Hey.
So? How'd it go?
Jada, what the
hell are you doing?
- What girl? I'm
trying to unwind.
- Gimme that.
What if you need to pass
a drug test for this job?
- Girl, I mean, it's not like
they gonna call me back
tomorrow or something.
It's gonna take some
time. Thank you.
- Why you acting all
stank? Did it not go well?
- I mean, it was, it
was cool, I guess.
But it is just like the same
thing. You know what I mean?
Like they say, "Thank
you for coming in,
but we'll let you know
when we make our decision."
Girl.
- Yeah, well still, you
still need to be prepared
in case you do get this job
and they need you
to pass a drug test.
- I mean, I guess you right,
but they do have pills for that.
You know what I mean?
Like clean out your
system and everything.
- Jada. Jada.
- All right, girl.
- Come on now.
You just said you was
gonna stay on point.
- Oh my God. You right.
- Let's put it away.
(Jada sighing)
- You gonna pay
me for this weed.
- Let's put the blunt
away. Thank you.
- So did you get any
updates by any jobs?
- No, I ain't get nothing yet.
- All right. So
what about Shanice?
- Girl, I don't know.
I texted her but she
ain't get back to me yet,
so I don't know.
- All right. So what's next?
- Well, we just keep filling
out these job applications
until we find a job.
- Girl, something's
got to happen ASAP
because I'm running outta
money. I'm getting broke.
I mean, unemployment don't come
in until, what, three weeks?
- Yeah.
- This is too much.
Telling you, it's just
hard out here, man.
- Mm-hm.
- You just never know.
- And you know what the
crazy thing is though?
Everybody is applying for the
same job. That's the problem.
- That is so true.
Like, if you don't know
somebody that knows somebody,
good luck with getting a job.
- Exactly.
- Mm.
- But look, like I keep saying,
we need to start looking
for jobs outside the area.
- Yeah, I said I
wasn't gonna do that,
but you know, I might,
I might have to.
(Leah sighing)
All right.
So if we stick together,
everything's gonna be all right.
- Yeah. Yeah, it will.
I know it will.
- And if we keep on grinding,
we gonna make something
happen, right?
- Yep. That's the plan.
- All right, man.
Just let me know if
you find anything out,
you know, have any calls back.
- All right, girl.
Oh, and I'ma hit Shanice
up too later tonight.
I'm gonna see if
she got anything.
- All right.
- All right, girl.
- Hit me up.
- All right, see you.
(trunk opening)
(bag unzipping)
(gun cocking)
- Where the fuck
is this dude at?
(phone buzzing)
Yo, what's up?
Wait, what?
Yo, where the fuck you at?
Right now?
(sighing)
All right, all right. Yeah.
Look, I'm waiting on somebody,
but they're running late.
Let me, let me stash
this shit real quick.
These fucking cops seem to
be riding around heavy today.
All right, yeah.
Okay.
Shit.
(Leah sighing)
(Leah sighing heavily)
- Fuck.
Oh my God.
(sighing)
(ominous music)
What the fuck?
(music continues)
(phone buzzing)
- Yo?
Yo, listen, I got your order.
Yeah, listen, I had
to stash that shit.
Listen, I gotta go meet
somebody real quick.
I'll be right back over there.
Wait, what?
Wait, why do we gotta
change the location?
Oh, bro, you're fucking
my system up. Yeah.
Listen, I gotta go back over
there and get that shit.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Send me that location and
I'll meet you over there.
All right.
This motherfucker.
(ominous music)
(music continues)
(music continues)
- What the fuck are
you doing with my guns?
- Look, I was...
- No, no, no, no. You
were just nothing.
Just put the gun
down and walk away.
- Look, I'm sorry.
I wasn't trying to steal these.
- That's no problem.
Just put the gun
down and walk away.
- Look, I didn't
see anything. Okay?
I wasn't here. I, I
didn't see anything.
- All right. Just
put the gun down.
We'll act like
this didn't happen.
- Hold up.
So how much you
selling these for?
- Why you in the
business of selling guns?
- Maybe?
- Yeah, right.
Look, just walk away and act
like you never saw this bag.
- Nah, gimme a price.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
You really wanna buy guns?
Do you even know what
kind of guns these are?
(Leah chuckling)
- It's the most popular
guns around here.
AK-47s.
Look, you do know that's why
they call this
Chopper City, right?
- Look, these guns
are already sold
and I'm running late
to meet somebody.
- Hold up, so what?
You're just going turn
down the new customer?
Why, 'cause I'm a female?
- You really wanna buy guns?
- For the right price? Yeah.
- So I'm guessing these are
not for your own personal use.
You gonna be able to
sell choppers around here
without getting caught?
- I mean, isn't
that what you do?
- So let's say I do
agree to sell to you.
Are you gonna have the money?
Because I don't do layaway.
- Like I said, I will
have the cash to pay.
If you gimme a good price.
- The minimum to buy is three.
- You still didn't
gimme a price.
- I don't get a good
feeling about this.
- Look, I can get you
big time customers.
Customers that you can't get to.
You could tap into
a whole new market.
- How do I know you
can sell these guns?
- It don't matter
if I can sell 'em.
That's my problem
anyway. Not yours.
And. like you said, no layaways.
I'll pay the cash up front.
- I guess sometimes in business
you gotta take a chance.
- All right then.
So what's the deal?
- 500 a piece.
- 400.
(Rickey clearing his throat)
- Okay. 400 a piece.
The minimum to buy is
three. That's 1200.
(Leah scoffing)
- I could do the math.
- Here, put your
number on my phone.
We'll meet up tomorrow.
- All right then.
- You bring the money.
I'll have your guns.
- All right. Cool.
Not a problem.
- What's your name?
- Leah.
- I'm Ricky.
Do me a favor, Leah.
Don't waste my time.
Don't show up tomorrow
with some bullshit story,
talking about you could only
come up with some of the money.
- Nah, that ain't gonna happen.
- I hope not.
- Girl, I hope that she is about
to tell us some good
news about a job.
- Okay, I hope so
'cause we need it.
- Yes we do.
And I'm not talking about like,
"Oh, I got an interview."
Nah, bitch.
I'm talking about some, "I'm in.
Y'all hoes in too. So let's go."
(Shanice laughing)
- Okay, yes.
Speaking of jobs though, did
that one place call you back?
- What place?
- Oh my god. What's
the name of that?
I don't know.
I think it was an agency
or something you went to
and they was supposed
to help you find a job.
- That place is a fucking joke,
okay?
- What?
- Yes.
I'd be lucky if they don't sell
my information online, girl.
It's a hot mess.
- Mm.
That's wow.
They be advertising like
it's a good place to work.
And you know my cousin
went to a place like that.
It didn't work out though
'cause he back in jail.
- It makes sense.
'Cause I'm telling you,
those people look like
they just got outta jail,
rehab, crack house.
I dunno. (laughing)
Ooh, well hello.
Look what the cat dragged in.
- What's up?
- [Jada] Okay.
- Y'all I found us something
better than the job.
- [Shanice] Hmm?
- Oh, so you won the lottery?
That's what you saying.
So we gonna split
that in three ways?
- [Shanice] Yeah, I mean
if you cool with that.
If you ready for that.
- Cool with that?
Girl, we your girls. (laughing)
- [Shanice] All right, Leah,
what is it? What is it?
Tell us.
- No.
- [Shanice] No, no? Okay.
Okay.
Look my bad, my bad.
Alright, tell us about it.
- I got us an investment
opportunity, y'all.
- Investment?
We don't have no money to
invest. What you talking about?
- What type of investment?
Hold on, I need to hear this.
- Don't tell me this
is some Ponzi scheme.
I ain't with that
shit. Come on now.
- Yeah, I'm not, I'm
not with that either.
- Look, I just happened to be
at the right place
at the right time.
And I ran into this
guy who sells guns.
- Hold on. Hold up.
A guy who sells guns?
- Well, not just any
guns. AK-47s to be exact.
- [Shanice] Oh. (chuckling)
- Hold up.
How the hell do you just
happen to bump into a guy
that sell AK-47s? This
shit don't make sense.
- I'm on my way home, right?
- [Jada] Mm-hm.
So, I, I pulled over on
the side of the road.
- [Shanice] Okay.
- I was, I was having
a stressful ass moment.
I might have been having
a mental breakdown.
I don't know, but we'll,
we'll talk about that later.
Anyway, I see this guy and
I see him stash this big bag
of something. I didn't even
know what it was at first.
- Okay.
So I'm pretty sure
that your nosey ass
went to see what,
what it was, right?
And you found a bag
full of choppers.
- Yeah. But wait, wait.
Then this guy Ricky comes
back and he sees me.
- [Shanice] What?
- Looking inside the bag, y'all.
- Oh my gosh. What did
he say when he saw you?
- He just told me to walk away
and just act like I
ain't never seen nothing.
- But you didn't walk away?
Of course you didn't. Okay.
- Aint no way I walk away.
Look, I struck up a
deal for them AKs.
- Why would you do
something like that?
- So what the fuck
we gonna do with AKs?
What we, we, we gonna set
it off or some shit. Huh?
Rob some banks, 7-Elevens?
- Uh-uh. No, no, no,
I'm not doing that.
I'm not robbing no banks.
I mean, I stole a
piece of gun one time
and my mom beat me.
- [Jada] Scared ass.
- No, y'all, ain't nobody
robbing no banks. All right?
We are going to sell the guns.
- Oh, so what, what we
some gun runners now?
- Yeah, Leah, this don't
sound like a good idea to me.
- All we need is to put up
$400 a piece. That's it.
- $400? Where are
we gonna get that?
- Yeah, that's a lot of money.
And I just told y'all I
don't really have money.
You supposed to let
me borrow money, girl.
- Come on y'all. This
is going to work.
Just trust me.
- This shits crazy.
Like this shit is
even crazy for me
and y'all know I'm crazy.
- You know she crazy.
- Y'all, what other
options do we have?
I mean, these unemployment
checks ain't coming.
We can't find no jobs around
here. What we gonna do?
- All right, so listen.
Who we gonna be
selling these guns to?
- Come on, girl.
This is Chopper City.
It's the guns that
everybody around here want.
- Okay, wait.
But what if we get caught?
Like, I don't wanna go to jail.
- Shanice, well, the plan
is to not get caught.
Right?
And look, we only gonna be
doing this for a little bit,
just until we get
back on our feet.
This is, it's just a quick
money grab until we get jobs.
- You sound like one of
these bitches working
at the strip club.
"I'm only doing this
to pay off my college,"
knowing damn well they
ain't getting naked
to pay off no fucking
college. Stop playing.
- It's not like that, Jada.
- You sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
- Okay. But do you think it's
really gonna be that easy?
- Of course it's not
gonna be that easy.
There's always hiccups
with shit like this, man.
- Look, y'all, I still think
we need to give this a try.
Let's just, let's just give
it a try and see where we go.
But we need money.
- Okay. Okay.
Hold on. Let me
think for a second.
Look,
if Jadas in, I'm in.
- All right. All right.
I'm in, I'm in, shit we broke.
Let's do it. Let's
sell some guns.
- [Leah] That's what
I'm talking about.
(Jada and Leah laughing)
- [Shanice] Okay.
- Scary ass. Come on, Shanice.
- [Shanice] Stop.
- Damn. Don't fuck it up.
- [Shanice] I'm not.
(mumbling)
(money rustling)
- Yo. What's up?
- Hey, baby.
- What you doing?
- Nothing.
You know, I was, I was looking
for those cute little shoes
that I, I, I used to wear
to all the interviews, you know?
Just, just in case I
get a call for one.
That's all. I just
can't find them.
- All right.
The fuck you was up
to today? Come here.
- Oh. (laughing nervously)
You know nothing much.
Just with the girls,
you know, Leah and Jada,
we was doing girl stuff.
- So what's up with
their job search?
- Nothing yet, but
I'm staying hopeful.
You know, I, I have a
good feeling something's
gonna come soon. Maybe
another week or two.
- Babe, babe, babe, babe.
- Yeah?
- Listen.
You ever think for a second
that if you stop hanging with
them dumb ass fucking bitches
(intense music)
then maybe you might even get
some luck with this job shit.
- No. I told you to stop
calling them that, okay?
Those are my friends.
You're not gonna
disrespect them.
(Marquis slapping Shanice)
- Listen,
I'll talk about your
dumb ass friends
however I fucking want to.
Call 'em bitches, sluts,
hoes, I don't give a fuck!
You hear me? Fuck outta here.
Fuck is wrong with you, yo?
- Marquis!
You said you would never hit me.
- Hey, baby.
(Shanice crying)
- Oh god.
- Baby, baby.
- No.
- I'm sorry.
My temper. I lost it, baby.
You know the stress, man,
the money, everything,
everything is so much on us.
I'll never do that shit
again. You hear me?
Come here, come here.
I'll never do it again, baby.
Stop, stop. Shh.
I'll never do it
again. I fucked up.
I fucked up, you hear me?
I love you.
I fucked up, I fucked up.
(Shanice sobbing)
- Hey. You got the 400?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
- [Leah] All right.
- What the fuck is
that on your face?
- What? Nothing.
What are you talking about?
- [Jada] No on your face.
What the fuck is that?
- Oh, girl. It's...
- [Jada] Shanice.
- What happened?
- Nothing. I'm fine.
Seriously, let's, let's just go.
- I know this motherfucker isn't
put his hands on you again.
- It was as
accident, Jada. Okay?
- You know what? I'm
about to text my cousin.
He's gonna come
and whip his ass.
- No, no, no.
Jada, please, please
don't call nobody.
It's not serious.
- [Leah] I thought he
stopped doing that.
- [Shanice] He did, but
it was just this one time.
He's stressed out. But
he said he's sorry.
- Sorry? Sorry?
Fuck that sorry.
Shit, you know what? I'm
about to whip his ass.
- No, no, no.
- No, no, no.
- Jada. Jada.
No, no, no.
- [Shanice] Please,
please, please.
- [Leah] Calm down.
- [Shanice] Please.
- Shanice.
- Yeah?
- [Leah] Are you really okay?
- Yeah, I'm perfectly fine.
(Leah sighing)
- [Leah] All right. All right.
Look, we not done
talking about this.
All right?
We gonna go handle this business
'cause we gotta do
what we gotta do.
But we gonna figure
this shit out later.
- Okay.
- All right?
Jada, you cool?
- [Jada] Yeah, for now.
- All right.
- Oh shit, got yourself
a little crew already?
- No, these are my
other investors.
- Investors? Oh, okay.
- All right. So let's
check out these choppers.
- Slow down. You got the
right amount of money?
- 1200 for three.
Just like you say it.
- Just need to double check
being that this is the
first deal we ever made.
Okay, it's all there.
- All right, we all good.
- Pleasure doing
business with you ladies.
Now be careful with those.
It can be dangerous.
- We can handle that.
- Oh my bad. I didn't
mean to offend.
- No, it's all good.
All right. Come on ladies.
Let's go.
- All right.
- God. Where the hell is he at?
I thought he'd be here by now.
- Come on, Shanice.
You already know Ray is always
late every time we meet him.
- Yeah, Shanice just
relax. All right?
He'll be here.
- I know, but I'm
just saying, like,
I don't want five
O rolling up on us.
And we got all these
guns in the car.
- Shanice, just relax.
He is coming.
You making me nervous.
- Leah?
You sure he's gonna
have all the money
for these guns, right?
All right.
- Shanice.
I talked to Ray.
He said he's going
to buy all three.
All right? It's
nothing to worry about.
Chill out.
- I just wish he would
hurry the hell up
so we can get up outta here.
I don't like this place.
- Oh, there go Ray right there.
All right, come on y'all.
(car rumbling)
(door slamming)
- What's going on ladies?
- You got the money?
- Come on now.
You know I don't bullshit
when it comes to business.
- You still buying all three?
- Yeah, I'll take all three.
- We good?
- Yeah, we good.
- These choppers look nice.
I know somebody else is
looking for some of these.
- Oh, well let 'em know
we open for business.
- All right. How fast
can you get me some more?
- [Leah] How soon you need them?
- Can you give me three
more by the end of the week?
- Oh yeah. Yeah, I got you.
- Oh, but don't think
you're getting some type
of discount or nothing. Like,
just 'cause you buying more.
That's not how it works, sir.
- No, it's all good.
Y'all ladies have a business
to run. I respect that.
- All right.
Just so we on the same page.
We ready?
- All right, yeah.
Let's go y'all.
- [Ray] All right then. Let me
know when you get some more.
- All right. I got you.
- See, I told y'all
this was going to work.
- Yeah, you right, man.
- Okay, so what's the plan now?
- All right, well,
I'ma hit up Ricky
and I'm gonna tell him
we need to buy more guns.
- You want us to go with you?
- No, no, no. I'm gonna
go alone this time.
- You sure?
- Yeah. It'll be fine.
- Hold on. So you telling
me you trust Ricky already?
- Yes, girl, look. He
ain't about no dumb shit.
He's cool.
- All right. I mean, exactly.
'Cause, first of all,
I wish a nigga would,
secondly, we about to bring
him a shit load of business.
- Yeah.
- I, I don't know.
I mean, Leah,
you don't think it's too
soon to be buying more guns?
I mean, we just finished
doing this transaction.
- Nah, nah, look,
we gonna be good.
And Ricky, he ain't gonna care.
As long as we bring him
the money, he'll be fine.
- Shanice, have you ever
made this much money
working at a job?
- Hell no.
- All right then, chill out.
Shit, we got this under control.
- I know, but I just don't
want us getting caught, y'all.
It's, it's risky.
- You the only one
I know that can look
at a stack of cash and
think bad thoughts.
What is wrong with you?
- No, look, I understand
what you mean Shanice.
But look, we got
this under control.
All right, look, we
only sold three guns.
- Exactly.
This ain't nothing compared
to what these dudes
doing out there.
- Look, the ATF thing
ain't gonna be looking
for us no time soon.
- Hell no. Shit,
this is small time.
All right? We just trying
to make a couple of dollars.
That's it.
- Yeah.
You know, I guess y'all right,
maybe I'm just
being real nervous
and paranoid about
the whole situation.
I just, I'll just be
worrying, y'all. I'm sorry.
- Yes, please relax 'cause
you fucking up my high.
- Hold up. You high?
- Hell yeah.
High off this motherfucking
money. (yelling)
(all laughing)
- Oh my God.
- By yourself today?
Where's the rest of the
chopper city Queens?
- Nah, it's just me today.
- Okay.
- So let me ask you a question.
Am I correct in thinking
that if I buy more guns
then the price goes down?
- How many are you
looking to buy?
- Look, I don't
have a number yet.
I was just, you know, trying
to see if I wanted to buy more,
you know, a larger shipment,
how much it would be.
- I mean, hypothetically, yeah,
if you need more, the
price would go down a bit.
- All right, cool.
- Listen, I'm grateful
for your business,
don't get me wrong,
but you wanna make sure you're
not getting too big too fast.
- Oh, so now you giving
me business advice?
- I just wanna make sure
everything runs smooth
for the both of us.
- So are you sure you're
not just saying that
because I'm a woman?
- Oh, no, no. Nothing like that.
Listen, I'm all
about women's rights,
girl power, all that stuff.
I'm just saying things
can go bad very fast.
- So, you think me and
my friends can't handle
this shit, huh?
- That's not what I'm saying.
- That's what it
sounds like to me.
- I've seen it happen before.
I'm just speaking
from experience.
- Look, I know when to
draw the line. Okay?
And never cross it again. Ever.
- All right.
- Well look, we don't
do that stupid shit
like selling guns to
people we don't know.
I mean, if that's what
you're talking about.
- I didn't mean to
offend, all right?
I wasn't saying you're
not a smart woman
and that you don't
know how to run
your business affairs properly.
- All right. So,
what is it then?
- Look, all I'm saying
is that if you get heat
from the cops,
that heat has a way
of finding its way back to me.
And I can't let that happen.
- Look, I won't let that happen.
- Nobody lets it happen.
But sometimes
things go sideways.
The streets get
word that you ladies
are moving big
shipments of choppers,
that word has a way of
getting back to the cops.
- I mean, I understand, but
you know, I play it safe.
- But all it takes
is one slip up.
- Look, you don't need
to worry about anything.
- Really?
So if you get caught
selling assault rifles,
you're gonna keep
your mouth shut
and you're gonna go
to prison for me?
- Look, I'm just saying I.
- Yeah, I'm just saying.
You barely know me.
You're not about
to do prison time
for somebody you barely know.
- Look, I ain't
no fucking snitch.
- I just wanna make
sure you're never
in a situation where
you might have to be.
- Look Ricky, this fully
under control. All right?
- All right, perfect.
Then we're all good. Gimme
a call when you need more.
- Y'all, we getting kind
of good at this shit.
- Yeah we are.
But just remember we ain't
gonna be doing this forever.
- Mm, right.
Speaking of that, I got a call
for a second
interview yesterday.
- Did you? That's what's up.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Let us know what happened.
- Mm, I will.
But the pay wasn't
all that great,
what they was talking about,
but hey, a job's a job, right?
- Shit, I ain't gonna stop
selling guns to go to work
for less pay. That
shit ain't happening.
- Hold up, Jada, did you
stop looking for work?
- Jada? Please tell me you did
not stop looking for a job.
- I mean, if the
right job comes up,
but I'm not saying I'm
looking hard for work.
- Come on, girl.
Now you promised you wOULD
not stop looking for work
just because we selling guns.
- Shanice, why you
gotta do that shit?
Why you always gotta
bring up the fact
that if I'm looking for a
fucking job or some shit.
- I ain't mean nothing by it.
I was just asking if
you had any leads, dang.
- Nah, fuck that shit.
You trying to be a smart
ass and you know it.
You do that shit all the time.
- Okay, I'm sorry Jada.
I didn't, I really didn't
mean anything by that.
God, can you just calm down?
- Nah, you always try to,
like, be a smart ass about it.
You sneaky as fuck.
- I'm not.
- You are.
That's, that's why
Marquis beat your ass.
That's exactly why...
- Jada!
- Are you ser-what the fuck?
I'm out, I'm out.
- Shanice!
- [Shanice] I'm out!
- Why the fuck (hitting table)
did you have to say that to her?
- No, I'm just saying
she always gotta say
some sneaky shit. Like why?
Why me?
That's the second time she
said some shit like that.
- Nah man, that was fucked
up and you know that.
- It's true.
- Man, you know the
stuff that she go through
with Marquis.
Why would you say that to her?
- Ain't my business.
Next time she going
know not to say nothing
out her fucking mouth.
- You know what?
I'm going home.
- Oh, what you mad now?
You pissed off too?
- Jada, Jada. You know
you wrong for that.
You know that. Why would
you say that to her?
Damn and she forgot
her goddamn money.
I'm have to call her
and give it to her.
- Aight. Make sure
you got your money.
- You know what?
I'll call you later.
- Hey Shanice, can you
meet me before you go home?
You forgot to take your money
and I'm gonna bring it to you.
All right.
Are you okay?
- [Shanice] Yeah, I'm good.
- Are you really?
- Yeah girl, I'm good, really.
I mean, it is what it is, right?
- Look, I'm sorry
about what Jada said.
She was wrong for that.
- Yeah, but
it's not about what she said.
It's the fact that she's right.
I mean, I do let Marquis
treat me like shit.
- No, she still
shouldn't have said that.
That was messed up.
- I don't even know how I got
in a relationship like this.
I mean, I used to clown girls
that used to be in those
toxic relationships.
And here I am, doing
the same thing.
- Yeah, but don't be so
hard on yourself, Shanice.
Look, the way Marquis
treats you, that is on him.
He has to answer for that.
That doesn't mean that you
deserve it. 'Cause you don't.
- Yeah, but if I let him
continue to treat me this way,
then girl, it is my fault.
- Well, look, we gotta stick
together through all of this.
We cannot be fighting
over no dumb shit.
- I know, but you know I just
think about you and Jada.
Y'all are so strong.
I wish I could be
strong like y'all.
- Look, you can be
and you will be.
You just, you just gotta
take it one day at a time.
You cannot fix all your
problems in one day.
- You know, as I was sitting
here waiting for you,
I was thinking,
how did I even get here
to this point in my life?
I mean, things
were going so well,
especially when Marquis
like, I fell in love
and he was everything
I wanted it.
I mean, yeah, he cheated that
one time, but I took him back.
It's just, things just never
been the same since then.
- But come on, girl.
You know, everything
is all sunshine
and rainbows in the beginning.
It's when the storms come,
that's when you can really
see what's going on, you know?
(Shanice sighing)
- Yeah, girl, you're right.
You know, I just,
I should have looked
at all those red flags
in the beginning, but,
I mean, everything else
was going so well and
he sweet talked me.
And I don't know, I
just, I just didn't,
I just didn't do
anything about it.
(Leah sighing)
- Well, look, that's all
in the past now. Okay?
All we can do is just
move forward, you know?
Just don't even, don't
even sweat the pest.
Just focus on the future.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Just move forward.
- Look, Jada, she's
just gonna be Jada.
She's not saying that
to be mean though.
You just, you got to take what
she say with a grain of salt.
- I know, but I didn't have
to say what I said though.
I mean, I pissed her off.
God, I'm always messing up.
- Look, we all gotta
stick together, all right?
Through all of this.
This is just something
that's temporary anyway,
once we get new jobs and
we get back on our feet,
we all gonna be good.
- Yeah. Hopefully
that'll be soon.
'Cause I don't know how much
more I can deal with this.
(sighing)
But I appreciate you
and thank you for
bringing me my money.
'Cause you know I need it.
- You're welcome.
(Shanice chuckling)
- Yeah, but I should
get going though.
- All right. Come on.
Let me give you a ride.
- No, no, no, no, no.
It's cool.
I'ma walk.
- You sure?
- Yeah, girl. Yeah.
I need to clear my head.
- All right, girl.
- All right.
You're the best.
- All right, see you.
- Yo. What the
fuck are you doing?
- Hey baby.
Nothing.
I was just putting some
money away that I had saved.
You know, I forgot
to put it in there.
- Oh, oh, oh.
I know.
It's the money that was missing
from our stash about
a week ago, right?
- Huh?
Oh, money missing.
No, baby. I just
forgot to tell you.
You know, my sister's
going through
a really hard time right now.
She's going through
that divorce.
She just needed a couple bucks.
I let her borrow some money.
- So now you think
it's cool for you
to just take money out this crib
without talking to me
about it first now?
That's what you think?
- No, baby.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not that at all.
I mean, it was
just this one time
and she gave it all back to me.
I put it back.
- No.
So you trying to tell me this is
the only time you took
money out this crib,
and you ain't say to me?
- Yes, baby.
I promise you it's
just this one time,
but it doesn't matter because
it's back. We're good.
- No, don't, don't tell
me it don't matter.
Like how the fuck you know I
wasn't gonna have a problem,
with you taking bread out
this crib and not telling me.
- Okay.
I knew you would get mad
just like you are right now.
I didn't wanna upset you, babe.
- Listen, that's not the point.
That's not the point.
The point is you was
being fucking sneaky
(intense music)
and I don't like that shit.
You know that.
- Okay, babe.
All right. All right.
I'm sorry.
God.
- Babe, don't gimme
that sorry shit.
I want you to just
tell the truth
and admit that you was
being a fucking sneaky ass.
That's it.
- I was not being sneaky. Okay?
I just told you that
my sister needed help,
and I give her a couple
bucks and I put back.
And first of all, it's
my money to begin with.
- Man, shut the fuck up.
Listen, I fucking told you
I'm waiting on my cousin
about the fucking job shit.
All right? But now you
trying to make me feel bad?
Talking about its your
fucking money now?
Man, fuck you Shanice.
- I didn't even mean
it like that. Damn!
- Yo, what's up Ray?
- Hey, can you meet with me?
- Is everything good?
- Yeah, it's all good.
I just wanted to talk to
you about some business.
- Okay? So what's up?
- Oh, I need a face to face.
You can't trust these phones.
- All right? Yeah, I feel you.
All right, just send
me your location.
I'll, I'll be over there.
- All right, cool.
- All right.
- So what's going on, Ray?
Everything good?
- Yeah. Everything's
going real good.
That's why I wanted
to meet with you.
Can I get a bigger
order of them AKs?
- Well, how big of a
order you talking about?
- I'm gonna need a dozen.
Can you gimme 12 of
them motherfuckers?
- 12? I don't know Ray.
That's a lot at one time.
- Hey, I don't know
who your supplier is,
but they get you some
good quality shit.
Them choppers is nice as fuck,
and these motherfuckers
are selling fast.
- Okay, that's what's up.
I mean, look, I, I
wanna get you that many,
but I don't know. That's
a lot at one time.
I gotta check with
my connect first.
- How soon will you know?
- Well, let check with him
and then I'm gonna
get back to you.
- Hey, if you can get
that many, that's cool.
But I'm gonna need to know
so I don't have to go somewhere
else and try to get 'em.
- Look, I appreciate
your business, right?
So just, just gimme
some time. All right?
Let me, let me talk
to him real quick
and I'll get back
to you for sure.
- I understand.
Well, if I don't hear
from you by Friday,
I'm gonna have to move
on to another supplier.
- Look, I'm a get,
I got you. Okay?
I'm gonna let you
know by Friday.
- And I need to make sure
it's the same kind
you've been getting me.
It can't be none of that
cheap shit, all right?
Has to be the same kind.
- Ray, I got you.
All right. It's gonna
be the same kind.
- [Ray] All right.
- All right.
- So like, how are we supposed
to get 12 guns all at once?
Are we even able
to get that many?
- So I'm gonna set up
a meeting with Ricky
and I'm gonna see what he say.
- Okay, and so even if he
says yes to getting the guns,
how are we gonna pay for it?
- Yeah, man, we don't,
we don't even have the
money for all that.
- Yeah, man.
And on top of that,
Marquis found out about
the $400 that I took out.
Y'all know how that went.
He's something else,
but I can't even take
any more money out
without him knowing, you know,
it's gonna cause
a bigger problems.
I don't got time for that.
- Yeah, but do you really think
that he's gonna loan us
12 choppers with no money?
- I mean, can't
he just let us pay
in three installments
or something?
You know, chop it up?
- Pay loan or something.
I don't know, man.
I, I just don't see
this man giving us that.
I'm sorry.
- Okay.
When are you supposed to
meet up with Ricky anyway?
- Well, I'm gonna call him today
and I'm gonna just tell
him I need to meet up
with him about a
business proposal.
- You know what, at
this point y'all,
what's the worst he
gonna say? Right?
No.
- True.
- [Jada] Right?
- Do you want us to go with you?
- No, no, no.
I'm gonna go alone this time.
- Okay.
- Man, maybe you
should've just told Ray
that we just can't get it.
Like, for real.
Like, how the fuck,
I don't see how the fuck
we gonna do this, man.
- I don't know.
Maybe Jadas right.
I mean, maybe you
should call Ray
and tell him if the
order can't be split,
then we just can't do it.
- I get what both of
y'all saying right now.
But look, we gotta take
this chance. All right?
I, I think we'll be good.
Let's just, let's give it a try.
(Shanice sighing)
- I don't know.
- All right.
Well if you, if you think
we're gonna be good,
I trust you.
I trust your feelings.
I trust everything
you got going on.
- Thank you.
- Let's do it.
- Wait,
Leah, do you really have
a good feeling about this?
I mean, honestly.
You could tell me.
- Yeah, I actually do.
All right. I think
this will work.
Look, if we just explain to
Ricky exactly why we need him
to front us these guns,
I think he'll do it.
- We better hope so. Shit.
- I'm gonna a pray for us.
(Ricky's footsteps approaching)
- All right.
So what's this business
proposal you wanna talk about?
- All right, look, so one
of the guys we sell to,
he needs a large order.
- Okay? As in like a truckload
of guns or something else?
- I need to get 'em 12.
- You sure this motherfucker
didn't get pinched by the feds
and now he's trying
to set you up?
- Nah, I did my research.
He's good to go.
- It just seems
like a bit of a jump
from three AKs to a dozen.
- Look, he said these
guns are on high demand,
so he needs somebody
12 at a time.
- Wait, you didn't get
caught with these guns
by some local cop
or something, right?
- No. Why do you say that?
- It just seems like a big order
for someone who just
started selling guns.
- Come on, Ricky.
So what you think
I'm wearing a wire?
Yo, (machine beeping)
what the hell are you doing?
- Okay, you all good.
You're not wearing a wire.
This thing comes in handy.
- All right, so you
think you could gimme 12?
- Yeah, I can get you 12.
(Leah sighing)
- All right, so here's
the second part to that.
- The second part of what?
- No, I'm gonna need
to get on the guns
before I can get the money.
- What the fuck?
You want me to give you 12
AK-47s up front with no money?
- Yes. That's exactly
what I'm saying.
- Whoever you're selling to,
they can't get you the money?
- Nah.
- Damn woman, you're
killing me over here.
That's a lot of merchandise
you're talking about.
- Look, Ricky, I got you.
All right? I'll be
good with the money.
- Yeah, you say that to me,
but what do I say to
the people I buy from?
- Look, me and my
friends, we lost our jobs,
so we need this money.
And that's the only reason why
we start doing this anyway.
- I still don't see
what that's got to do
with me giving you free guns
with the hope of you
getting the money back.
- Look man, I just need
this favor, all right?
Just one time.
- What the fuck, Leah.
- Come on, please Ricky.
Help me make this deal.
- What if your buyer doesn't
come through with the money?
- Nah, he's, he's good for it.
We did business with
this guy in the past.
- I need to talk to my guy.
- Okay, that's fine.
Look, just talk to your supplier
and let me know what he say.
- I can't promise you anything,
but I'll see what I can do.
- Yeah, I understand.
And I appreciate it.
- Look, I'll give you a call
when I find out if I can
get you the 12 AKs up front.
- All right then. Cool.
- All right, so let me guess.
He said hell fucking no, right?
- Yeah, something like that.
- Dang.
But did he say what
time he is gonna call?
- No, he just said after
he meet with his supplier.
- All right, so do we have
a backup plan or something?
- No.
Look, let's just wait to hear
from Ricky and then we'll see.
We'll go from there. We
don't need no backup plans.
- Nah, fuck that.
Usually you the one
with the backup plans
now you talking about
some waiting for Ricky
and all this other stuff? Nah.
(phone buzzing)
- Oh. Wait, wait, wait.
Y'all, this is him right here.
- What?
- Yeah, alright.
Everybody just calm down.
(all whispering)
Back up.
Hello?
All right and
what's did they say?
All right, cool.
Perfect, perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep.
Let's meet up tomorrow.
All right, cool.
All right. All right, bye.
Woo, man.
- I feel something
good coming on, right?
- Yeah. He said he can
meet with us tomorrow.
- That's...
- Tomorrow?
- That's what's up.
- Yes.
- Okay. Okay, so, so all
12 guns though, right?
- All 12 guns.
- Oh my God.
That's fucking great, man.
- I can't believe
he fucking said yes.
- I know.
- Okay.
- You gonna call Ray
and tell him what's up?
- Yeah, I'm gonna
give him a call
and let 'em know we
can make this order.
- Okay.
- That's gonna be a
great ass payday, boy.
- Yes.
- I can feel it.
Woo, all right.
- There is something
else I wanted
to talk to y'all about though.
- Something else?
- Don't tell me that it's
not gonna be that much money
that we getting from this deal,
or Ricky want a cut
off of something.
Nah, I, we don't have that.
We don't have money like that.
We need all of our money.
- Yes.
- No, no.
- So what is it?
- Ain't nothing like that.
- Okay.
- Look y'all, I decided we need
to make this our last deal.
- Really?
- Hold up, what?
- Yeah.
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
What the fuck you talking about?
- The sale of these 12 guns,
it's going to make us
enough money to last us
at least two to three months.
- Nah.
- If you can stretch it out.
- Fuck that shit.
We just getting started.
Fuck you mean you now
you wanna pull out?
No! We got money to make.
- Look, we get out now before
we get too deep in this shit.
- I still feel like we could
sell at least a couple more.
Fuck that shit. You tripping.
- No, no, no, no.
I, I get where
Leah's coming from.
I mean, we don't wanna get
too deep and things get crazy.
We get in trouble.
- What? Man, fuck that shit.
You said that we gonna
sell until we get job.
Who the fuck got a job?
I don't have a job.
You damn sure don't have a job
and your raggedy ass boyfriend.
You don't have a job.
- I just know that
eventually this luck
that we got going on...
- Mm-hm.
- it's going to run out.
- Okay, but Leah, when did you
decide that we should quit?
- Well, I mean, I figure
after we make this,
this last sale, you
know, it's 12 guns y'all.
That's a lot of money.
I mean, I figured
it'll be enough
to set us for a couple months.
- Yeah, I see exactly
what you're saying.
- You wanted to stop doing
this shit a couple weeks ago.
Shut the fuck up.
- Why you always got
something to say?
Like
just listen to
what Leah's saying.
- For once, listen.
- God.
I mean if we really
think about it,
we got what we came for.
So why we gonna keep pushing it?
I know I'm not trying
to end up in jail.
Are you?
- Yeah, beating your ass.
- Come on Jada.
Just, just think for a second.
All right?
Like we can't do
this shit forever.
This, this luck
is gonna run out.
- Oh, the Chopper City
Queens are all here.
And that's a good thing
'cause each one of you need
to hear this.
The people that
gave me these guns,
they're gonna want
their money back
in 48 hours no matter what.
- Okay. That, that
won't be a problem.
- I hope for all of us it's not.
- Just give us the fucking
guns so we can leave.
- Hold on now.
I need you to understand
the people that
gave me these guns,
they don't get that
money back in 48 hours
they're gonna make
us all disappear.
It'll be completely
outta my hands.
- Ricky. We'll have the
money no matter what.
- Okay.
I just wanna make sure
everybody's on the same page.
- All right, so all
12 right here, right?
- All 12, same kind as always.
- All right. Cool.
- Remember 48 hours
no matter what.
- Look, I got you. All right?
(car rumbling)
- We got a problem.
(intense music)
- Fuck you mean
we got a problem?
- My buyer needs to push
this deal until tomorrow.
- Ray, you said you could
make this happen today.
What happened?
- Well, he got a situation
he needs to handle.
He gotta push it till tomorrow.
- Do you know what the
fuck they'll do to us
if we don't make
that shit happen?
- Jada. Jada, chill the out.
- But Leah, what are we do?
- Shanice just relax.
- You know what Ray said.
He said if we don't...
- I know, I know what Ray said.
Okay? Just, just relax.
- Y'all ladies all right?
- Hell no we ain't
fucking alright.
Shit, we need that money today.
Fuck they will do to us when he,
if we come back with no money.
- Jada. Jada,
chill the fuck out.
Ray are you positive
that's your guy
is gonna come through
with this money tomorrow?
- He says it's gonna
happen tomorrow.
- Look, we got somebody
to front us these guns.
We gotta come back with
the money within 48 hours.
- Look, I don't know
what to tell y'all.
This just came through
at the last minute.
I just found out.
I would've called y'all,
but I just found out.
- Yo, we are fucked, man!
- Oh my God, oh my God, Leah.
- Look, would y'all go, could
y'all go back to the car?
Okay, just, just
go back to the car.
- Serious?
- Come on girl.
- I'm sorry, Leah.
Sometimes shit happens.
- Ray, we gotta make this
happen tomorrow. All right?
No matter what your
guys gotta come through.
- Leah, it don't work like that.
I take orders from him.
- Call me as soon as
your buyer gives you
the time to meet. All right?
- All right, I got you.
(car engine starting)
- Anything?
- All right.
- Man, I hope you have a
backup plan for this bullshit.
- Yeah, I'm getting scared.
I don't know if we can do this.
- Look, y'all two just
need to relax. Okay?
- Yeah. We going
relax all right.
We going relax our asses right
in that fucking cemetery.
- Ain't nobody
getting killed. Okay?
Ray said that he was going
come through tomorrow.
- Okay and what happens
if tomorrow comes
and Ray says he needs
to push it back,
then what are we gonna do?
- Look, Ray said he
is going to make sure
that this deal happens
tomorrow no matter what.
- Then he also said he's not
gonna tell the motherfucker
that he's working for
what to do. Come on, man.
- We don't have the money
to pay for all these guns.
If Ray doesn't come through,
what are we gonna do?
- I fucking told you this
was a bullshit ass deal.
- Yo.
You need to shut the fuck up.
- Bitch, fuck you.
- [Leah] Okay.
- Stupid ass bitch.
- No, stop, stop, stop!
What is wrong with y'all?
- Bitch.
(both yelling)
- Stop. Stop.
What's wrong with you Jada?
- Get your friend. Get
your stupid ass friend.
- [Shanice] Stop. Stop!
(all yelling)
- Leah, please, no.
- I don't care.
Watch your mouth!
- Stop it. Leah!
- Watch your fucking mouth.
- Come on!
We're friends!
(controller buttons clicking)
(knocking on door)
- [Marquis] Yo, who is it?
- Yo, it's Berg.
- [Marquis] Dude,

- Oh.
Yo, my bad man.
- [Marquis] What the fuck?
- Yeah. What's up Mark?
- Shit, what's up with you Berg?

Man, this a corny game.
You play this

- Shut the fuck up, man.
Wheres the controller.
- Man, I don't feel

- [Marquis] What's going on?
- Not much, man.
But somethings going

- The fuck you mean
what's up with my girl?
What's up with your girl?
- Man, you know I
ain't got no girl.
- Oh yeah, you right.
But what you mean, what's up?
- Nah, 'cause I was
at my boy's, Lee, crib
the other day, right?
And he was showing me
these nice ass AKs he got
and I was like, "Yo Lee,
like where you get those from?"
Because, you know, maybe I want
to get one of them
motherfuckers too.
(Marquis laughing)
What?
- You wanna get a gun.
Okay, all right.
All right, go ahead.
I know there's
more to the story.
- Oh, anyway.
He was saying he got
it from your girl.
That's what he was saying.
- Get the, you lying man.
Get the fuck outta here.
- No, for real.
He was dead serious
when he said that.
- He said, my girl, Shanice.
- Yes, your girl, Shanice.
He said your girl, Shanice,
and those two other
girls she be running with
are out there selling guns, bro.
They're out there moving guns.
- I told her to stop
hanging with them.
Yo, look, don't
believe that shit.
I'm gonna tell you why.
You know, you know them
bitches is too dumb
to be out here trying to do
some gangster shit like that.
- Mark.
Those dumb bitches are out there
doing gangsta shit like that.
They're out there
thinking they gun runners.
Why? Why would he lie like that?
- You're making me mad
dog, you making me mad.
Look, I'm about to call
this bitch right now.
- Call her.
- I am.
- Call her since you
don't believe me.
- No, I don't. I don't.
Put this bitch on speaker.
- You good girl?
- Yeah, I'm good.
(Jada scoffing)
- It was just wild how...
(phone buzzing)
Hold on. (sighing)
Hey babe.
- Yo, Shanice, where

- I'm out with my
girls, Leah and Jada.
What's up?
(both whispering)
- All right, look, I need you

- Nah babe. I can't right now.
We're in the middle
of doing something.
- Shanice, what

- Babe, I can't right now.
I'm, I'll be home later.
- All right, bitch.
I'm telling you, bring

Yo, what the fuck?

You ain't know that.
- No, I didn't.
- Track that bitch.
I'ma track that bitch.

behind this building.
All right?
Then we gonna come
back tomorrow morning,
pick the guns up and then
we'll wait for Ray to call us.
- But why we stashing the guns?
- 'Cause I don't like the fact
of these guns
being in our house.
- Yeah, but do you
think it's a good idea
to leave the guns
out there like this?
- Yeah. We out in the
middle of nowhere.
Ain't nobody coming out
here. They'll be fine.
- All right. Let's go.
(bags rustling)
(bag unzipping)
(ominous music)
- See right there. Found you.
- Wait, hold on.
Yo, what they doing
with those bags?
You see?
How much you wanna bet
there's a bunch of choppers
in those bags.
- There's only one
way to find out.
- Alright, so look, this
what we're gonna do, right?
We gonna wait right here.
We gonna find out
what's in those bags.
- Not waiting, I'm
pulling up on them.
All right. All right.
You right, I'm chill. I'm chill.
- Marquis?
You here, babe?
Oh my gosh.
(sighing)
I'ma just take a nap.
(phone buzzing)
- Oh shit. You looking for this?
- Oh shit.
- Nah, nah, nah.
(Shanice yelling)
- Damn.
- What's wrong?
- I can't get ahold of Shanice.
I texted her, I called
her. She's not picking up.
- I mean, what is she
overslept or something?
You know she's sleepy as hell.
- No. I think something's wrong.
- You know what, now
that you say it like that
and you mad worried,
I don't know.
I have a strong feeling
this might have something
to do with Marquis.
- Let's go over there,
see what's going on.
- Okay, let's go.
All right y'all. Let's see
what the fuck is going on.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, Jada, you stay here.
- Why?
- Because I don't want you to
make a bad situation worse.
- Come on, man. You know
ain't gonna do that shit.
- Nah, plus Marquis is
probably still mad at you
for snapping on him on
the phone the other day.
- Fuck that nigga. I don't
give a fuck about him.
- All right. Wait, wait, wait.
Look.
(Jada sighing)
Why don't I go up there first
and then if I don't come
back in five minutes
then you come see what's
going on. All right?
- All right. Five minutes.
- All right.
But listen, if you don't
come back in five minutes,

- All right.
(phone buzzing)
- Oh shit, this is Ray.
- Fuck. Oh my god.

All right?
- Yes.
- Alright.
Yo, Ray, what's good?

Berg stole the other guns.

But wait, wait, wait.

I heard him on the
phone with Berg.

- Yeah, it's all here.
- Good shit.
You're a woman of your

- See I told you I would get it.
- All right, cool.

- Really?
You ladies seem to be getting
good at moving these guns.
- Yeah, we just needed a little
bit of cash to, you know,
set us right, but we

- All right, cool.
But let me know if

I can always get you

- So what do we do now?
- Try to act normal and go
back to how things were.
- Man, I'm not

Yeah, what's up Ray?
Everything all right

- Yeah, everything's

That's why I'm calling.
I'm gonna need more, a lot more.
And this time I'm gonna
have all the money up front.
- Nah, I ain't gonna be
able to make that happen.
We ain't out the game.
- Damn.
That's too bad 'cause it
would've been a big payday.
- I hear you, but.
Hold on, you know what, let me,
lemme talk to my business
partners real quick.
Hold on.
Y'all, Ray said he
got another order
for us all the money up front.
So what y'all wanna do?
- Hey, you ain't

Yo, Ray.
Yeah, on second thought.
