(heavy beat music continues)
You make sure you bag
this shit up right
this time, all right?
Yeah, it's all good.
Yeah, that's the same
shit you said last time.
The measurement
was all fucked up.
[Chris] Yeah, that's
why I made sure
I did it right this time.
You can't be fucking
shit up like that.
It's bad for business.
People gonna think we running
some bullshit ass
operation over here.
Malik, I got you.
All right, it's not
gonna happen again.
[Malik] I hope the fuck not.
Man, chill, bro.
Fuck you mean chill?
If you gon' be half-ass
doing shit like this,
this ain't gonna work.
Malik, it was one slip up.
God damn, what do you want
me to do about it, man?
You sure she gonna have all
the money for this shit?
[Chris] Yeah, she
been buying from me
for over a month now.
Yeah, well this is more
than what she usually buys
and I just need to make sure
she gonna be good for it.
I just need to make sure
she ain't on some bullshit
when it comes to
having the money.
Nah, bro.
She's good for it, all right.
She always got the money.
[Malik] Well, you
made sure she is
who she say she is, right?
Yeah, I asked around and Tyreke
said she's just hustling,
you know, till she get
a new job so she can get
some extra money.
Man, how the fuck does
Tyreke know this bitch?
I don't know.
He just said she good
for the money, all right?
[Malik] Yeah, but does Tyreke
really know her like that?
Malik, I don't fucking know.
What do you want me to do, a
background check on this bitch?
Like bro, I asked around,
and that's the only
person who knew her
and I just wanted to make
sure somebody knew her
before I started selling to her.
Come on, Chris.
I wouldn't believe shit that
comes outta Tyreke's mouth.
He ain't nothing but
a fucking crackhead.
He's the only
one who knew her.
Yeah, but I would've
at least checked
more than just Tyreke.
Look bro, she's good for
the money, all right.
That's all that matters.
All right, well as
long as you know
that you gonna be
the one that makes up
for any money that
she's short on.
Fine.
That's fine.
All right, well she's
not gonna be short,
so it don't matter anyway.
Yeah, well we gonna find out.
Where we meeting her at?
[Chris] I always meet up
with her over on 49th Street.
All right, well, we're
gonna do this deal
and we need to head
over to Zav's crib
to drop a shipment off.
We gonna be moving around the
city with that much weight?
Are you sure that's a good idea?
Yeah, I'm not trying to come
all the way back over here.
Zav's crib is right
down the street.
We don't need to go that far.
All right, bro.
You got this?
Yeah, I'm good.
Hey, make sure you come back
with all the money
for this shit.
I already told you, bro,
there ain't gonna be
no problem, all right.
Hurry up too, man.
We got other shit to do.
You must gonna miss me.
I'll be right back.
What's up Chris?
What's up?
Hey, you got all the money
for this shit, right?
Yeah, it's all good.
I just need to see the product.
For what?
You act like you ain't
bought from me before
and was there ever a problem?
No, but I've never bought
this much from you before.
Still, you know
I'm always on point
so that shit's gonna be right.
Yeah, I've been
hearing that you
and your boy been short
changing motherfuckers.
Oh my gosh, bro.
Like, no, it's not even
like that, all right.
We handle business
and we do it right?
Yeah, all right.
Show me the product then.
(dramatic music)
Don't fucking move.
Hey yo, the money's
fucking short.
Police.
Put your motherfucking hands up.
Nah, this gotta
be a joke, right?
This ain't no joke.
Put your motherfucking hands up
and I'm not gonna
tell you again.
(dramatic music)
This is Detective Sanders.
I'm Detective Thomas.
All right, look before
y'all get started,
I just want y'all to know
I ain't telling y'all shit.
Malik, do yourself a favor
and just listen to what
he's about to tell you.
For what?
I ain't got shit to say.
This may be your only
chance to get yourself out
of the shit that
you put yourself in.
Man, this some bullshit.
Malik, hear me out.
We also found the drugs you
were hiding in the trunk.
I didn't give y'all permission
to search my locked trunk.
Y'all better have a
warrant for that shit.
We do have a warrant for that.
And we also have a
warrant for your house.
Get the fuck outta here.
You're not about
to search my house.
It's too late for that.
What we gonna find
in the house, Malik?
Come on, bro.
Stolen guns, maybe
some more drugs.
And you better hope none
of those guns in that house
get traced back to any
unsolved murder investigations.
So what now y'all trying
to pin a body on me?
One of those guns connected
to a murder, Malik?
Okay, what the
fuck do y'all want?
Like Detective Sanders said,
this is your golden
opportunity to help yourself.
What kind of bullshit
y'all want me to do?
We need you to help us get
to the next level
in this drug game.
I ain't no fucking snitch.
I need you to think about
this very carefully, Malik.
You know Malik,
with your record,
you're facing some
serious prison time.
It's not that hard, Malik.
We just need you to help
us get to the next level.
Oh yeah, it's not that hard?
Do you know what kind
of target I would have
on my back for the rest of
my fucking life if I snitch?
We can help with that.
Like Detective Sanders
says, we can help with that,
but you gotta help
us with what we need.
Man, fuck y'all.
Take me back to my cell.
Chris, I gotta be
completely honest with you,
it's not looking good.
What does that mean?
It means you and Malik
are going to prison
for a long time.
How much time can
they even give us?
It's not like we
pulled up with 10 kilos
in the trunk or
something like that.
Yeah, but you
have to remember,
you've sold to me on
several occasions.
That shit adds up.
And that ain't including
what we're gonna find
in the house.
What?
Why are you even
searching the house?
Why are you worried about
what's in the house?
Something in there you
don't want us to find?
Chris, is there
something in the house
that you know about,
possibly more drugs?
Maybe a gun connected
to a dead body?
What the fuck, bro?
I don't know
nothing about no gun
with no body on it or
anything like that.
Yeah, you better hope the
judge sees it that way
or you're going to be
going away for a long time.
Come on, bro.
Don't tell me y'all
found a fucking gun
with a body on it in that house.
Chris, this is the time
to start thinking about
trying to help yourself.
[Thomas] You need to think
about what's
happening here, Chris.
Look, even if y'all found
a gun in that house,
that ain't got
shit to do with me.
Even if we don't
find anything,
we still got you on
narcotics trafficking.
Okay, I think I wanna speak
to a lawyer or something.
You sure you wanna
go that route?
What the fuck does that mean?
What Detective Thomas
is trying to say is
if you request a lawyer, we
have to stop talking to you.
Yeah, so?
And if we stop talking to you,
we can't offer you this
deal to get you out of this.
What deal?
You asking for a lawyer
or you interested in
hearing this deal?
All right, I wanna
hear about the deal.
We need you to help
us catch bigger fish
than you and Malik.
So you want me to be on
some snitch ass shit?
You can help us get somebody
you don't work with.
It doesn't necessarily
have to be your supplier.
Chris, this is your
ticket to freedom.
You don't wanna fuck that up.
If you help us with this,
it won't matter what
we find in the house.
We can all make it go away.
You're offering
Malik the same deal?
Same deal.
What's he saying?
He's still on the fence.
He didn't say yes, but
he didn't say no either.
This is a group deal.
Both you and Malik
need to be on board.
So if Malik says no, I can't
take the deal for myself?
No, it doesn't work that way.
You and Malik work together
to run your little
drug operation,
so both of you need
to work together
to get these charges dropped.
I think you better
go back to your cell
and have a little
talk with Malik.
You need to convince Malik
that this is the best option
for both you and him.
(people chattering
in background)
I don't know, bro.
I think this might be the
right thing for us to do.
You think they just gonna let
us go if we work with them?
Yeah, if we get that
shit in writing.
So you really ready to
be a fucking snitch?
Malik, bro, they got a
warrant to search the house.
Yeah, I know.
They already told me.
If we do this,
that means everything
they find disappears.
And then what the fuck are
we gonna do if we help them?
We can't just go
back to normal life.
Everybody's gonna know we
worked with the fucking police.
I think we can find a
way around that bro.
And how do we do that?
Look, all we gotta do is
help the police find somebody
that moves more weight than us.
But then we tell 'em we
won't testify in court.
Nah, nah, I don't think
it's gonna be that easy.
It don't work like that.
You know these
motherfuckers want more.
Bro, it don't hurt to ask.
Let's just see what they say.
Man, if we do this,
I'm not wearing a wire.
We gonna do it plain
and simple, all right?
Yeah, I'm with you bro.
I don't wanna do
that shit either.
I just need to think about
this for a minute, man.
Man, don't take too long, bro.
We gotta make a decision
fast, all right,
or it's not gonna be
on the table anymore.
Did you already tell
him you would do this?
Man, they wouldn't
even give me the chance
to say yes or no.
They said I gotta
talk to you, bro.
It's either we both do it
or it's not gonna happen.
Come on, man.
You know it's not that simple.
They're not gonna let
us get off that easy.
Bro, that's why we get
all this shit on paper.
All right, we get
everything in writing
that they're gonna do for us
and that we're
gonna do for them.
So who the fuck are we
gonna give 'em, man?
I mean, it doesn't
really matter.
Just give 'em somebody we
don't fuck with like that.
Like we just need
to give 'em somebody
who moves more weight than us.
Okay, so what's the first
name that comes to mind?
What about that
motherfucker Deion
who be trapping on Oak Street?
Yeah, he does move
more weight than we do.
Yeah.
But how we gonna get
him to sell to us?
Bro, like I think he will.
I mean, as long as
we have the money,
why the fuck would he care?
Why the fuck not?
Okay, so what the fuck are
we gonna say when he asks
why we're not buying
from our normal supplier?
Malik, bro, we just
make some shit up.
Tell him, oh, we can't get
in contact with our plug.
I need to think
about this shit, bro.
I'm not trying to
make this problem
worse than it is already.
You feel me?
- I feel you?
- All right.
Hey Alicia, what's going on?
Malik, are you gonna
be able to bail out?
Look, I don't
know all that yet.
Is Chris in there with you?
Yeah, we're in the same cell.
Okay, so what's
going on with Chris?
Did he get a bail amount yet?
Nah, he didn't get
that info yet either.
Okay, so like what should
I be doing right now?
Should I be getting money
together in case you get a bail?
No, just wait on all that.
I'm trying to figure out what
my next move is gonna be.
Malik, I'm worried about you.
I just wanna get you out of
there as soon as possible.
Everything's gonna
be all right.
I got some things
moving in our favor.
What do you mean by that?
I can't really talk
about all that yet.
I just need to make some moves
to get me and Chris outta here.
Wait, they said
they might let you
and Chris outta there today?
It's a possibility.
Okay, well how soon
are you gonna know
if they're gonna let
you and Chris out?
Alicia, you gotta chill.
I just need you to
trust me on this, okay?
All right, well is there
anything that I can do
to help speed this process up?
No.
I just, I don't need you
to do anything right now.
Just go home and I'll call you
to come pick us up
if they let us go.
Can you just make
sure that you call me
as soon as you
find something out?
Yes, I'll call you
if they let us know whether
they'll let us go today or not.
Okay.
Well, just do whatever
you need to do
to get you and
Chris out of there.
Girl, you need to chill.
Just relax.
I got this figured out.
I just need some time to put
the pieces together, okay?
Okay, I trust you.
All right.
All right, look, me and
Chris talked this over.
And what'd you come up with?
We're gonna give you
somebody who moves
more weight than we do.
[Thomas] Are you on board
with this too, Chris?
Yeah, I'm cool with it,
as long as we get this
little agreement in writing.
You didn't even tell us who
you're gonna help us catch.
His name's Deion.
- Deion who?
- Deion Johnson.
That name rings a bell.
I just can't put a
face to the name.
Are y'all talking
about Deion Johnson,
that's always over
there on Oak Street?
[Malik] Yeah, that's him.
Oh yeah, Deion
Johnson on Oak Street.
Yeah, now I know who
you're talking about.
Yeah, but before we move
forward with anything,
we're gonna need
everything in writing.
Yeah, 'cause y'all cops
be on some funny shit
and I'll be damned
if I put my name
or my reputation
on some bullshit.
And you said everything you
find in the house gets tossed.
I want that in this
little contract that we're
about to agree on.
And we leaving here today.
I don't wanna hear
about something
that's gonna take a couple
days to get us outta here
or some shit like that.
Fuck that, we walking out
of here free men tonight.
Okay, we could put
whatever you guys feel is
necessary in writing.
However, before we
agree on anything,
we need to do a
deconfliction report.
Now what the fuck is that?
It's a report that we send out
to other law enforcement
agencies letting them know
that we're conducting an
undercover investigation.
In the report, we name the
target of the investigation
to make sure no one is
working with that person.
If no other agencies are
working a case with Deion,
then we're good to go.
But if someone is already
working a case with Deion,
we're gonna need you two to
give us a different name.
Sound like a plan to you guys?
- All right, cool.
- Let's do it.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
So I think I'm gonna go
meet with Deion first,
and then when he's
comfortable, I'll bring you in.
Yeah, that's a good idea, bro.
If we both pull up on Deion
at the same time looking
for work, he gonna
think something's up.
Yeah, we cannot fuck
any of this shit up.
Bro, I think we can do what
we gotta do for the cops
and still get out of it
to where nobody knows
we even did it.
We can't let anybody know
we buying from Deion.
Yeah, when we set
these deals up,
you gotta have 'em go
down to where nobody's
around to see us when they do.
I'm gonna go to Oak Street
where Deion usually is
and see if I can
talk to him there.
Okay, you gonna make
it look like you
just bumped into him?
Yeah, that's what
I was thinking.
Make it look like
I was in the area
and we just crossed paths.
Okay.
You gonna try to buy
anything the first time?
No, not this time.
After the first meeting,
I'll set something up
for the first buy.
Sounds good, bro.
I'm also gonna need
you to stay here.
I don't want him to see us
together yet, all right?
- I got you.
- (hands slapping)
- Yo D, what's up?
- What's up, Malik?
Yo, lemme holler at
you for a minute.
What's up?
Look, my plug having a problem
with his supplier right now.
I was just headed over
to my cousin's house
to see if he could help me out
but it looks like I
ran into you first.
Thought you and Chris
had shit locked down
on the west end.
We do, but like I said,
we're having some
problems right now.
So what you need from me?
I'm just saying, maybe you
could break me something off
until shit gets
right with my plug.
That's all I'm saying.
Yo bro, I'm don't be doing
big orders like that.
Come on, man.
Why you fronting?
I know you got it.
Break us off.
Yo, how about you go
holler at your cousin,
see what he working with,
and then come back to me?
Nah man.
Come on man, he be on some
bullshit and you right here.
Come on.
I mean, how much you talking?
'Cause if we gonna be,
if I'm like fronting you
till you get your money up.
Nah, nah, it's
nothing like that man.
Look, we got the money,
we just need the supplier.
Oh, you got a prayer
for the weight?
Come on, man.
You know me and Chris is
kicking the fuck up over there.
All right, that's what's up.
- That's what's up.
- Yeah, yeah.
So what's up man?
You gonna help us or not?
All right.
How soon we talking?
How soon can you get it?
Oh you need the shit now.
Come on, man, the
sooner the better.
Yo, you sure your
boy ain't get picked
up by the feds or some shit?
Nah man, like I told you,
he's having problems
with his supply chain.
It's gonna be back
up and running soon.
It just feels like he fucked
up your whole operation,
no heads up whatsoever.
Bro, you know these
people don't give a fuck
about no plug having a
drought or nothing like that.
These motherfuckers
care about they drugs.
Come on, man, you
know I'm good for it.
I got you.
I don't know, bro.
Come on, man, break us off.
All right, you
still got me on IG?
Yeah, I think so.
Hit me up on IG
in a few hours.
I'll see what I can give you.
All right, hell yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
- (hands slapping)
- I'm a holler at you.
[Thomas] Did you make
contact with Deion yet?
Yeah, he told me to
give him a call later
to see if he can
get some weight.
Wait, what's that
supposed to mean?
I thought you said you could get
more weight than he could get.
Yeah, well he's not sure if
he can give me that much yet.
Look, if Deion can't come
up with some more weight,
you guys have a serious problem.
Well, if he can't
then I'll just
find somebody else who can.
All right, I also
talked to my supervisor.
He says he needs at least
three different people
to buy from Deion.
Now why the fuck would
he need three people?
The DA says they need at
least three different people
to buy from Deion in order to
make this a rock solid case.
Yo Thomas, that's not the
fucking deal we agreed to.
I know, I explained that to
him, but my hands are tied.
They want three people,
they get three people.
So what, now I'm supposed
to drag somebody else
- into this shit?
- Yeah, I guess so.
You see that's that snake shit
that you motherfuckers be
pulling on people, man.
It's not that big of a deal.
Just get one of your
friends to buy from Deion.
So you're asking
me to get somebody
to be a fucking snitch.
Somebody who ain't got shit to
do with me and Chris's case.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Listen, can you make
this work or not?
Well, I guess the fuck so,
'cause if I don't, y'all
motherfuckers will just lock me
and Chris up back in that cell.
[Thomas] Is it a
yes or is it a no?
Yeah, I'll make it work.
[Thomas] Perfect, I'll
tell my supervisor.
How long do I have?
I'll tell him you got
somebody lined up,
I just won't give him a name.
But you're gonna have
to give me a name soon.
I'll need at least a week.
You can get two days.
I'm not giving you a week.
All right, I'll make it work.
Okay.
(door creaking)
- Hey ma.
- Hey son.
What's this?
Oh, I got you some food
from that restaurant
on South Street
you like so much.
Oh, I love that place.
Thank you, son.
I wanted to come by and
check how you're doing.
I know it's been a minute
since I've been around.
Um-hmm, got so
grown and too busy
to check up on your mama, huh?
No, it's not like that.
It's just, you know.
Yeah, I know you're too busy.
No, I be meaning to come by
and then just things
come up and it's-
Right, but you
know what they say.
People make time for
what's important to them.
No, I'll just be in
the middle of things
and by the time I'm done with
everything, it's too late.
Wait, what type of things?
Just things.
Wait, you're not
running the streets?
Are you getting to
those types of things?
I like to stay busy, you
know, what can I say?
I want you to say that
you're staying out of trouble.
Mom, you have nothing to
worry about, all right.
Don't worry about me.
I'm gonna be okay, all right?
How's Imoni?
- Are y'all two still together?
- Yes and she's doing great.
Okay, good.
- How are you?
- I've been good.
As a matter of fact, I talked
to your father the other day.
- Oh, how's, how's pops?
- Um-hmm.
You know what?
Maybe you should
talk to him too.
I know it's been a long time
since y'all seen each other.
Yeah, well last time we
didn't really see eye to eye
at all.
Deion, your father loves you.
He just wants
what's best for you.
He likes things seen through
his way and only his so.
Oh really?
Sounds like somebody
I know (chuckling).
You really want
me to go see him?
Can you please, for me?
Fine.
I'll go see him
to make you happy.
Good.
- Stay outta trouble.
- I will try.
What have you
been up to today?
Nothing much, you
know, just the usual.
Seems like something's
weighing on your mind.
Did something happen today?
No, I just went to see my mom.
What's happening
with your mom?
Nothing, she's good.
She wants me to see my pops.
When's the last time
you talked to your dad?
I don't even know.
It's been a while.
So what are you gonna do?
I mean, I promised
her I'd go see him
so I have to go see him.
Did you want me
to go with you?
No, I'm good.
I can go on my own.
It's just last time it
didn't end on the best note,
so I don't know exactly
how it's gonna go.
It'll be fine.
He's your dad.
He loves you.
And plus, you two are
way too much alike.
That's probably why
y'all don't get along.
You really think
we're that much alike?
Absolutely.
I don't know how
you don't see it.
Yeah, that's what my mom said.
We're both hardheaded, so.
I agree with your mom.
All right, guess I'll
go see my pops today.
(door knocking)
Hey, come on in.
Well, look who it is, my
son who sometimes seems
to forget he still has a father.
Come on, dad.
You know the last time we
was here it didn't end well.
And for good reason.
Look, I didn't, I didn't
come here to argue.
Okay, so then I guess you
came here to apologize
for the things you said
the last time we spoke.
Um-um, mom sent me.
Okay, I see what's
going on here.
So you're just doing a
favor for your mother?
Look, why has it
gotta be like that?
Like what?
Like me being a good
father by giving my son
some wise advice?
You call talking down
on me giving me advice?
I wasn't talking
down to you son,
but I was raising
my voice a bit.
And that's because sometimes
that's the only way
you seem to hear me.
I think it's
crazy how you talk
about being this great father.
All you do is tell me
what I shouldn't be doing.
Like really, what am I doing?
Oh, cut the bullshit, Deion.
You don't think I know
what you're doing out here
in the streets?
I'm just following
your footsteps, dad.
Okay, so we're gonna
play that card?
It is what it is.
Look, I made mistakes years
ago in the streets, okay?
And you should be
looking at my bad choices
as a blueprint for
what not to do.
Now you wanna play victim?
Oh, ain't nobody playing no
damn victim around here, okay.
God, look, I had to
watch mom cry herself
to sleep every
night on that couch.
And I would have
to go in my room
and cry in the dark
so she wouldn't have
to see the tears fall down
my fucking face, so don't.
Look, I'm sorry, okay.
But how many goddamn times
do I need to say I'm sorry?
Because you left us, man.
You left us and I had to grow
up and be the man of the house
and I was a little kid
and I just, I just.
Look, I was selling dope
to make ends meet, okay,
and I was wrong for doing that.
Exactly.
So really think about that
next time you wanna come around
for your little do
the right thing speech
'cause I'm not hearing it.
Deion, look, okay, I just
don't want the same thing
to happen to you.
I'm leaving.
Nah, fuck this, I'm leaving.
Okay, yeah.
You know what?
Fine, whatever.
What's up Malik?
Yeah, I gotta grab something
from the crib real quick,
but I can meet you
at the same spot.
All right, word?
All right, I'll see you.
- What's up Deion?
- What's up, Malik?
- You got that?
- I got it.
Hey man, I really
appreciate you
for coming through for me, man.
You know, it's all good.
You think you could
hook Chris up too?
Why can't you break off Chris
some of what I just gave you?
This is enough for me.
He's gonna need something too.
I can get Chris some work,
but it's not gonna be as much.
I mean, shit, I still got
my own operation to run.
That's cool, man.
He just needs something to get
himself up and running again.
All right, all right.
- Just hit me up later.
- All right, I'm there.
Do you think Malik's gonna
go all the way
through with this?
He seems eager enough
to wanna make this work.
Yep, I think he's gonna get us
what we need to get to Deion.
Well, I hope he realizes
he's under a time constraint.
He can't just drag
this case along.
If he tries to make
the case go slower,
I'll be sure to remind
him that we need this case
to speed up.
So what do I need to do now?
Did you find a third person
to buy from Deion yet?
I'm still working on that?
Well, you need to work fast.
The DA needs this
case to move faster.
Look, I'll go ask
my girl Alicia.
She can be the third buyer.
Did you talk to
her about this yet
or is this some random
thought you're having?
I'm about to go see
her now so I'll see.
Malik, if she doesn't
wanna get involved in this,
do you have another person?
I'm more than positive
that she'll say yes.
I just gotta go ask her.
Almost positive
ain't gonna cut it.
We need to be sure she's
gonna be the third buyer.
All right, I'll make it work.
So, what did you wanna
talk to me about?
Alicia, I need you
to do me a big favor.
What kind of favor?
Look, the other day when
me and Chris got locked up,
the only reason
they let us out is
because we agreed to
cooperating with the police.
You agreed to work
with the cops?
Are you serious?
Alicia, I had no other choice.
They had a search
warrant for the house
and they said that
if we help 'em
they would pretty much get
rid of all the charges.
And what did they want
you to do for them?
They want us to help
set somebody up.
And you agreed to doing that?
What else was I
supposed to do?
Okay, well who did they
want you to set up?
Deion from Oak Street.
Why are you just telling
me about this now?
Well, I didn't wanna
tell you at all,
but I need your help with this.
What kind of help?
I need you to buy some
weight from Deion.
They said they need one more
person to buy from Deion.
And they said after that
we should be good to go.
Malik, are you asking me what
I think you're
asking me right now?
[Malik] I just need you to
buy from Deion one time.
Why would you try to
drag me into this shit?
Alicia, I really need
your help with this.
Did you already tell the
cops that I was gonna help?
No, but I did tell them that
I would talk to you about it.
And you can't find anyone else
to help you out with this?
No, Alicia, who else
am I supposed to ask?
Why can't you and Chris
just buy from Deion?
I don't know why, but this
is what they need me to do.
Okay, well could
you come with me
to buy from Deion or
do I have to go alone?
Look, I already
thought this through.
Me, you and Chris
will all go together
and buy some weight from Deion.
Well, isn't that
gonna look suspicious
if all three of us go?
No, it's not.
I already bought
some shit from him
and I just told him that
Chris will buy something.
[Alicia] All right, well
what are you gonna say
about me being there?
I'll just tell him
that you're my girl
and that you're trying to
get some pills or something.
You think he's
gonna believe that?
[Malik] Hell yeah, he's
gonna believe that.
Okay, well I'm not gonna
have to wear a fucking wire
or anything like that, right?
[Malik] No, no, no.
It's nothing like that.
Right, so I'm just gonna go
and buy some pills from
Deion and that's it?
We'll just go buy
some shit from Deion
and we let the cops know
what we got from him.
Okay, I'm just gonna
do this this one time.
All right.
- What's up, Malik?
- What's up, D?
- What's up, bro?
- What's up, Chris?
- Who this?
- This my girl Alicia.
Hey.
What's up with you
bringing all these people
to my operation, dog?
Y'all motherfuckers finna
set me up on some shit?
Nah man, it's not
even like that.
I just brought Chris
'cause I was the one
who set this up and my girl
Alicia needs some pills.
[Deion] Some pills?
Tell 'em what you need.
Do you have any ecstasy?
[Malik] I can't find anybody
who got them shits, bro.
You think you can
hook my girl up?
All right, all right.
So Chris, you still buying
what you need, right?
And what you need ecstasy now?
Yeah, bro.
I just need a few things
to get my blocks up
and running again.
You feel me?
Come on, man.
You the only person I
know who can get it.
Will you help us out?
Yeah, yeah.
We just gotta slide
back to my crib for it.
Okay, that's fine, right?
Yeah, we'll just follow you.
- Chris, you got your bread?
- Yeah bro.
I got you right here.
(hands slapping)
Chris, you good?
You straight?
Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, I appreciate you dog.
I owe you for this
one, all right?
- All right.
- Hey, yo, Malik,
I'm gonna catch you.
- All right, bro.
- All right, Alicia.
All right, let's go, you two.
Follow me back to my crib.
I'll be honest
with you, Malik,
I wasn't too sure you were
gonna be able to do this.
But we got everything we need
to get an arrest
warrant for Deion.
And all we need from
the three of you now is
to confirm that this is
the person who sold you
the illegal narcotics, the
evidence that you gave us.
I just wanted to make
sure that we don't have
to testify in court
or anything like that.
No, this will be the last
thing you need to do.
And are y'all 100% sure
that nobody will find out
that it was us that
gave y'all to Deion?
No one will ever know
any of you had anything
to do with this,
with Deion's arrest.
Okay, but when you
guys arrest him
and he starts asking questions
like how you got to him
or who led you to
him, you can lie
and say it was
somebody else, right?
His lawyer will be given
a discovery packet.
In the discovery packet
will be our police reports.
None of these reports are
gonna mention your names
And what will be
in the reports?
You three will
be listed as CI,
numbers one, two, and three.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, CI,
what does that mean?
Confidential informant.
So if you guys agree
that this is the person
you purchased the
narcotics from,
all I need is your signature
next to Deion's picture.
(ominous music)
Deion, you're under arrest.
Get your hands in the air.
Put your hands up.
(ominous music)
- (door banging)
- Come in.
Imoni, what's wrong?
They just arrested Deion and
they have him at the jail.
What?
What happened?
I don't know.
I just found this
out from my cousin.
Oh my God.
I just don't know
what I should do.
What else did your cousin say?
She said that she was
riding down Oak Street
and she seen two police put
him in the back of a cop car.
What was he arrested for?
She didn't say.
She tried to ask them and
they wouldn't tell her.
Wait, was your
cousin able to talk
to Deion before
he got in the car?
No, but she asked
one of the cops
where they was taking him and
they said they were taking him
to the county jail.
Wait, was he by himself or
were other people arrested?
No one else was
arrested, just Deion.
All right, Imoni, I
need you to relax.
I'm just, I'm gonna
figure this all out.
I just don't know
what I should do.
I need you to go home.
I'm gonna go to the jail,
find out whatever
information I can,
then I'll give you a call.
Okay.
Did you want me to go with you?
No, just go home, all right.
I'll call you as soon as
I get this sorted out.
Just let me know
if there's anything
that I can do to help.
Let me know if he can bail out.
I will, I promise.
And again, I'm sorry for just
coming over here like this,
but I just couldn't call.
No, it's fine.
You did the right thing,
(people talking in background)
Deion, what the
hell is going on?
I don't know.
I was walking home,
two cops pulled up,
and they arrested me.
What did you get arrested for?
Something about
narcotic distribution.
They said they got evidence
of me dealing to a
whole bunch of people.
Wait, they didn't ask you
any questions yet, did they?
Nah, they just cuffed my
ass and threw me in here.
All right, look,
do not say a word.
And if they ask, say that you
wanna speak to your lawyer.
Ma, I don't have a lawyer.
I'm working on that.
If they ask, say that your
lawyer will be speaking
to them real soon.
All right.
All right, I'll tell 'em that.
Listen, it's gonna
be all right.
We will figure this out.
How did you even know
I was up in here?
I didn't get a phone
call or anything.
Imoni came by.
Her cousin saw you
getting arrested.
No, what the fuck, bro?
Nobody's telling
me what bail is.
Nobody's talking to me.
I don't even know why I'm
in this motherfucker, bro.
Calm down, calm down.
I don't know what's going on.
Listen, calm down, calm down.
We will figure this out.
All right, all
right, all right.
I'm sorry.
(door knocking)
Jay, Deion got arrested.
When the fuck did that happen?
- Earlier today.
- Come on in.
So I really don't have
a lot of information.
I just came back from
visiting him at the jail.
Okay, so what's Deion
saying happened?
He's saying he was
walking down the street
and then two cops came
by and arrested him.
Okay, so what did
they charge him with?
Narcotics distribution.
Goddammit, I told
that fucking kid
that something bad was
gonna happen to him.
Can you put all of that aside
so we can figure this shit out?
Keya, what do you
want me to do?
I told this damn kid if he
kept running the streets,
something bad was gonna happen
to him and look now, now,
you see what the
fuck happened now?
Now is not the time
to get pissed off
because he didn't follow
your fatherly advice.
We have to get Deion outta jail.
And how are we gonna
do that, Keya, huh?
You have bail money?
As a matter of fact, do we
even know if he has a bail?
No, they didn't say
anything about bail.
Okay, well if they haven't
said anything about bail yet,
that means they probably
have him in there
on a no bail warrant.
And if that's the case,
there ain't a goddamn thing
we can do to help this kid.
Jay, I didn't come here to
start an argument with you.
I came here so you can
help me figure this out.
Okay, figure what
out, Keya, all right?
If they really have him in
there on a no bail warrant,
they must have some pretty
solid evidence against him.
I mean, what the
fuck did this kid do,
sell to an undercover cop
or some shit like that?
He didn't say
anything like that.
Look, I know you're concerned.
You're his mother,
okay, I get that.
But you gotta stop
babying this kid, okay?
He needs to learn the hard way.
Jay, what the fuck
are you talking about?
He's your son, you
should be more concerned.
Look, have they said
anything to him?
Have they questioned him
about any of this shit yet?
No, they haven't
questioned him.
All right, look, the next
time you go talk to him,
you need to tell
him not to say shit
until he's able to speak
to a public defender.
A public defender?
Are you fucking crazy?
He needs a good lawyer.
A good lawyer?
Keya, you got good lawyer money?
'Cause I sure as hell don't.
You know what?
I need to get outta here
because it's clear that
you don't give a fuck
about your son.
Keya, don't say stupid
like that, okay.
I absolutely care
about our son, okay.
But he put himself in
this situation, okay.
He's in this situation because
of bad choices he made.
Jay, get up off your
fucking high horse.
You're acting like
you've never been
in this situation before.
He probably learned
from your ass.
Okay, so you're
gonna turn this on me
like this is my fault.
I told that kid specifically
don't do what I did.
Jay, go fuck yourself.
You know what, Keya, get
the fuck outta my house.
I don't got time
for this bullshit.
Fucking bitch.
Girl, what the hell
is wrong with Jay
and why is he acting like that?
I don't know what the
fuck his problem is.
I mean, and like you said,
he's been in a similar
situation before,
so I don't understand
why he's so upset.
Exactly.
But you know how Jay is.
He's fucking stubborn.
Okay, so what's your plan now?
All right, I'm gonna ask
you a really big favor.
So I know that you're a
paralegal at a law firm
and I wanted to know if you
can talk to some of the lawyers
and see if they can work
on the case for Deion.
Oh yeah, I can
definitely talk to one
of them about helping Deion.
Okay, I really,
really appreciate that
because he needs a good lawyer
and not a public defender.
Okay, hmm.
I think I know someone who
might be perfect for that.
Oh really?
What's his name?
Ron Berkeley.
He actually helps a lot
of people with drug cases
like this one.
Perfect.
I don't have a lot
of money right now
so do you think they'll
be willing to give me
a payment plan?
Oh yeah, girl,
he'll hook you up.
I mean, matter of fact,
he'll give you a discount.
I know about all the
women he's been sleeping
with behind his wife's back.
Good because I need
all the help I can get.
I mean, I definitely
keep my mouth shut
about everything that
goes in the office,
but he's definitely
gonna owe me a favor.
Good.
All right, bro.
Man, what we gonna do now?
I think we go
back to hustling.
What?
Bro, you don't think
that's a bad idea?
You don't think we should wait
till this Deion stuff
is done and over with?
Why the fuck would we do that?
The cops said we'll be good.
Yeah, but it's gonna look
a certain type of way, bro.
And what the fuck is
that supposed to mean?
Bro, people are gonna
start thinking something
if me and you start
moving big weight
after Deion gets locked up.
Man, nobody about to
start thinking nothing.
All those motherfuckers
care about is getting high.
They don't give a fuck
about no Deion's case.
Bro, what about the cops?
You don't think they're
gonna be looking
and watching over us still?
Bro, you're acting like
a real bitch right now.
What the fuck are
you so scared of?
Man, I ain't trying to be
in the same situation
again, man, that's it.
You feel me?
Motherfucker, I'm broke.
I need money.
I'm going back to this trapping
shit all day and all night.
That's way too risky, man.
We need to wait till this
Deion shit dies down.
Nah, fuck that.
I'm getting back to this money.
Look bro, I need
my bread too, man.
But not at the risk of me
getting locked up again.
Look, you do whatever
the fuck you wanna do.
If you're too scared,
just let me know.
It's not about being scared,
bro, it's about being smart.
Call it whatever
the fuck you want.
Just let me know if you
serious about getting out
so I can take over
all your blocks.
Hey Imoni?
Alicia?
Hey, I just wanted to
say I'm really sorry
about what happened with Deion.
Oh, you know about that?
Yeah, I heard he got
set up or something.
Wait, what are
you talking about?
You know, just people
are saying things.
Alicia, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
All I know is that
Deion got locked up.
Yeah and I just wanted to say
that I was sorry about
what happened to him.
What else have you heard?
Oh, nothing really, just
people are talking about it.
Okay, so what are
people saying, Alicia?
I'm probably saying too much.
No, Alicia, if you know
something you need to tell me.
Look, I don't know anything.
All I know is that I'm sorry
about what happened with Deion.
Why would you be sorry?
You have nothing to do with
Deion getting locked up.
Well, I saw you walking by
and I know you're his girlfriend
and I've never had a
problem with Deion.
And I just wanted
to say that it was
a really big shame
what happened to him.
Alicia, I haven't talked to
you in I don't know how long.
All of a sudden,
Deion gets locked up
and you wanna stop
and speak to me.
I shouldn't have
said anything.
Look, I'm sorry again about
what happened with Deion.
Wait, Alicia, what the
fuck are you talking about?
Do you know that
someone set up Deion?
I have to go.
You need to tell me
if you know something.
Did somebody set
Deion up on purpose?
Look, I don't know anything
about what happened with Deion.
I'm sorry.
I really think that
Alicia knows something
about Deion getting arrested.
Yeah, why would she say sorry
and then not say anything else?
I don't know.
Something isn't right.
I haven't seen
her in a long time
and today she said
something to me.
Why did she say
something to me today?
Does she know,
like how does she know
anything about Deion's case?
I mean, does she have
any family members
that are cops or
something like that?
I don't think so.
[Keya] This doesn't
make any sense.
She has a boyfriend
that's in the streets.
But I've never
seen her boyfriend
have anything to do with Deion.
- Who's her boyfriend?
- I think his name is Malik.
So wait, when you say
that he's in the streets,
he's out there selling
dope or something?
I mean, he's into all
kind of shit like that.
I think Alicia knows something
and I bet it's
connected to Malik.
You think Malik
snitched on Deion
or set him up or
something like that?
I don't know but do you know
if he got arrested recently?
I don't know.
Hmm, you know, I wonder if
Malik and Alicia got arrested
and they snitched on Deion
to get out of the charges.
I never heard of Deion
dealing with Malik like that.
Why would he know anything
about what Deion is doing?
Girl, everybody knows what
everybody does in the streets.
I can ask around and see
if Malik got arrested
for something lately.
Good.
Get as much
information as you can
and see if he got
arrested recently.
Okay, I'll let you know as
soon as I find something out.
Okay.
Well listen, I'm in the
process of getting a lawyer
for Deion.
Okay, but is getting
a good lawyer
gonna get him outta jail.
I hope so but I still need
to look at the evidence.
I need to see if there's
anything in the evidence
about Malik and Alicia.
How soon can you get evidence?
I don't know.
But if I get this lawyer
that's working with my friend,
hopefully, that'll
speed things up.
Look, Keya, I'm sorry
about snapping on you
the other day, okay?
I'm just really upset
and just fucking frustrated
about all this bullshit
that Deion has going on.
Listen, none of that
is important right now
'cause it looks like
the problem that we have
with Deion is a little bit
different than what we thought.
Wait a minute, did
something happen?
Yes, Imoni said that
she bumped into somebody
and this girl said
that Deion was set up.
So wait, set up by who?
So this girl Alicia, she
has a boyfriend named Malik
and she said that she's sorry
for what happened to Deion.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
So you think that
this girl, Alicia,
is somehow connected
to Deion's case?
Maybe Alicia, maybe Malik.
All right, wait a minute.
Does Imoni know who Malik is?
She knows he sells dope.
Motherfucker.
So wait a minute, did this
motherfucker Malik get arrested
for selling drugs and
then flip on Deion?
I'm not saying
anything like that,
but it sure as
hell looks like it.
All right, hold on, hold on.
Now this changes things
a little bit, okay?
Now I'm not saying Deion
should be out in the streets
out here trapping and whatever
other bullshit he's doing.
But we can't have some
snitch ass motherfucker
setting our son up,
nah, fuck that shit.
- That ain't gonna happen.
- Right.
So I told Imoni to
listen out on the streets
and see if Malik got
arrested recently.
Okay, did Deion get
his discovery packet?
Because in that packet
it should have evidence
that'll explain how
they set him up,
if that's what they did.
I'm still working on that.
Okay.
Hmm, yeah, these fucking
prosecutors and district attorneys,
they can be sneaky
as fuck when it comes
- to that discovery packet.
- Um-hmm.
They like to conveniently
leave out evidence
that'll help your case.
And believe me, I speak
firsthand on that bullshit.
That's why I'm working on
getting Deion a good lawyer.
How are you gonna do that?
Well, I have a friend,
she works at a law firm.
She's gonna talk to some lawyers
and see if she can find one
that can work on the case.
Yeah, so what lawyer
are you trying to get?
- His name is Ron Berkeley.
- Oh, Ron Berkeley.
Yeah, I see his commercials
on TV all the time.
I hear he's pretty good.
Yeah, I mean, he
said he might be
able to give us a discount.
Well, I'll tell you what,
you're gonna need that discount
because lawyers like that,
they don't come cheap.
Well, do you think you could
help me out a little bit?
Look here, I'm kind of
between jobs right now.
I mean, I'll be able to
help out a little bit,
but it might not be much, okay?
- Okay.
- I mean, I'll be able
- to do something, okay?
- Okay.
Destiny, I can't thank you
enough for helping me on this
and bringing the
discover packet so soon.
Oh yeah, girl, it's
really no problem.
I'm just really
glad I could help.
Oh, good.
And guess what?
I was able to talk to
Ron before you got here,
and so he's gonna have the
secretary get in contact with me.
They're gonna give
me a payment plan
that's gonna fit my budget.
Okay, great.
Well, he actually
wanted me to talk to you
about something he
found in the report.
- Okay.
- Okay, so here it is.
So it says that there
were three people
- who bought drugs off of Deion.
- Oh shit.
Imoni was right, they
did set up Deion.
I remember you
telling me about it
possibly being a set up.
But now that we have
this information,
we know that Deion
wasn't arrested randomly.
Why would they set him up?
Wait, does it say in there
who the three people are?
No, it just says CI
one, two, and three.
I gotta find out who
those three people are.
You really wanna
be careful Keya.
If they find out that you talked
to anyone who helped the cops,
they're definitely gonna charge
you with witness tampering.
No, I'll make
sure I'm careful.
No, you really wanna
be careful, Keya.
If the DA finds out
that you did anything
with this case and you
fucked up their case,
they're definitely
gonna come after you.
Listen, I just need to
figure this shit out.
But I'm 100% positive
they got Alicia and Malik
to set Deion up.
Hmm, so who do you think
the third person could be?
Do you think it's someone
that Deion had beef with?
No, I think it's
connected to Malik.
Hmm, so how are
you gonna find out
who the third person is?
Better yet, like
what is your plan?
You know what?
It's actually best
I don't even know.
Listen, I have to help
out my son, Destiny.
I understand that, but
you really wanna do
this the right way, Keya.
Best believe, anything I
do is done the right way.
Okay, please be careful.
You don't wanna make this
any worse than it already is.
So I got the discover
packet for Deion's case
and it said that three people
bought drugs from Deion.
- Three people?
- Um-hmm.
Shit, now what
are we gonna do?
Well, I'm gonna find Alicia.
But until then I need you
to get information from her.
You think she was one
of the three people?
Yes, I do.
I don't think she's
gonna admit to that.
Listen, get as much
information as you can.
I don't know.
The last time I seen her,
she was quick to leave.
She ain't gonna talk to me.
Just put a little
bit of pressure.
(chuckling and
clapping) I got you.
Listen, I'm not saying
do anything to her,
just press her a little bit.
All right, I got you.
But she gonna know I'm
not fucking around.
Good, good, 'cause we
need to find as many holes
in this case as we can.
Okay.
Did you get Deion a lawyer?
Yes, he was the one that
gave me the discover packet.
So his name is Ron Berkeley,
he works with my friend,
and he's gonna be the lawyer
that's gonna be on the case.
Who's this Berkeley guy?
And is he gonna get
Deion to beat the case?
I don't know.
He hasn't had time to
look over the case,
but everybody is saying
that he's a good lawyer.
Okay, I'm gonna go
and find Miss Alicia.
And as soon as I talk to
her, I'm gonna talk to you.
- Good, thanks Imoni.
- No problem.
Anything I can do to
help Deion, I'm with it.
Hey, Alicia?
What do you want
with me, Imoni?
I just told you I
don't know anything.
I just wanna ask you
a couple questions.
I just said I don't
know anything.
You're a fucking liar.
You didn't stop me that day
because you don't know shit.
You know more than
you're telling me.
I can't help you.
Yes you can and you will.
You gonna tell me what you
and Malik did to Deion?
You know what?
You need to talk
to Malik about this
because I didn't want shit to do
with what happened with Deion.
See, bitch, I knew you had
something to do with that shit.
Look, this isn't my fault.
Why the fuck did y'all
set him up like that?
You know what, Imoni, you
can get in a lot of trouble
by just talking to me
about Deion's case.
What does that mean?
It means you need to stay
the fuck away from me.
You were one of the
three people that worked
with the cops to
put Deion in jail.
How the fuck did you know
there were three of us?
You didn't think we was
gonna find out, bitch?
You know what?
Just get the fuck away from me.
Why you still working
with the cops?
If you come near me again,
I'll tell the detective
working on Deion's case
that you were harassing
and threatening me.
I guess once a snitch,
always a snitch.
If you come near me again,
you're going to regret it.
I just spoke with Alicia
and she was one of the
people that set Deion up.
So did you find out who
the third person was?
No, but Malik was involved
and apparently he put
all of this together.
That motherfucker.
Yeah, and Alicia said if
I come near her again,
she gonna call the detectives
that's working on Deion's case.
Oh, she said that?
Yeah, that fucking
snitch ass bitch.
I should have punched
her in fucking her face.
Okay, look, I need you to stay
away from Malik and Alicia.
I'm gonna take care of
things from this point.
Okay.
And listen, if you find
out any more information,
I need you to call
me right away.
I will.
Okay, Alicia, I got
something for your ass.
(people talking in background)
Deion, who were the last three
people you were in contact
with before you got arrested?
Chris, Malik, I
think this girl,
what was her name?
Alicia.
Yeah, some white
girl named Alicia.
Interesting, 'cause I
got your discover packet.
It says three people set you up.
Three people, what?
Um-hmm, yeah.
And it looks like it's Malik,
Chris, and Alicia who done it.
What the fuck, bro?
Why would they do this?
Do you have beef with Malik?
Nah, nah, I don't know.
Malik, he came up saying him
and Chris' plug was
having a drought
and they needed me for a hookup,
but we ain't got no beef.
There has to be a reason.
Have you heard anything
in jail about Malik
or Chris getting arrested and
then working with the cops?
I ain't heard shit.
If that's the case, the cops
are doing a damn good job
keeping this shit locked up.
That's some bullshit.
Hey Jay, I need a favor.
I just talked to Deion
and he gave me the names of
the last three people he was
in contact with before
he got arrested.
[Jay] You remember how to
use one of these things?
I remember you taught
me when we were younger,
but I think I do remember.
Yeah, that was
a long time ago.
Yeah, back when
things were better.
Look, this probably
goes without saying,
but if you get
caught with this gun,
you didn't get it from me.
Just tell 'em you
bought it at a gun show
or some shit like that.
Don't worry, I'll make sure
that nothing's traced back
to you in any way.
Keya, look, you know I
would help you with this,
but I got two
felonies on my record.
Just having this gun alone can
get me five years in prison.
I understand.
Just do whatever
you feel is right.
Are you gonna be able
to do this by yourself?
I have no choice.
Our son needs our help.
Keya don't get caught.
What you're about
to do is a lot worse
than what they have
Deion in jail for.
They could put you away
for the rest of your life.
For our son's freedom,
it's worth the risk.
All right, look, as soon
as you're done doing
what you gotta
do, call me, okay?
I will.
Hey, are you Alicia?
Who the fuck are you?
I know that you set Deion up.
What the fuck did he do to you?
Look, I don't know
who the fuck you are,
but you need to
say the fuck away
from me before I
call the police.
I'm Deion's mom, bitch.
And I know you're the
one that put him in jail.
Look, I was just trying
to help out Malik.
I didn't want anything
to do with this.
Then why the fuck did you?
Because Malik was in trouble
and he needed my help.
Well, you could've
said no when he asked.
That's it, I'm
calling the police.
(gun firing)
- Bitch.
- (ominous music)
Motherfucking Malik, dog, man.
(ominous music)
(gun firing)
(gun firing) (Chris grunting)
I know who the fuck you are.
Why the fuck you
snitch on Deion?
Bitch, fuck you and your son.
(gun firing)
(urine splashing)
(door unlatching)
(ominous music)
(fist thudding)
(Keya grunting)
(knee thudding)
(slap spanking)
(Keya grunting)
I hope you know you about
to die for your son, bitch.
I hope it was all worth it.
(ominous music)
(gun firing)
- You all right?
- Yeah.
I thought you weren't
gonna help me with this.
Well, sometimes you gotta
do what needs to be done.
Everything is worth it
for my son, motherfucker.
(gun firing)
All right, give me the guns.
All right, I'm gonna
get rid of these.
You need to get the
fuck outta here.
(ominous music)
There's a special
place in hell
for snitches like
you, motherfucker.
(lighter clicking)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
- Hey Ma.
- Hey Deion.
I'm so happy that
you're out of there.
I was worried about you.
Yeah, my lawyer said all
the charges were dropped.
Yeah, I spoke to him.
He told me to pick you
up around this time.
He said all of the people that
turned me in, they're dead.
I heard about that.
I guess the DA had
to drop them charges
'cause those snitch ass
motherfuckers are dead and gone.
Should I not ask too
much about all this?
I told you I was gonna
help you with this.
All that matters is that
you're free and clear.
Does dad know like
any, any of this?
Let's just say he was
at the right place
at the right time.
Oh, so he, he was
in on this too?
Your dad might not
show it all the time,
but he loves you very much.
Pops turning into
his old self.
I never would've thought that.
Sometimes parents have
to do difficult things
to protect their children.
I guess so.
You'll understand one day
when you have children
of your own.
Well, I'm, I'm not,
I'm not gonna ask
too much about any of this,
but I really appreciate
everything you guys do for me.
You're welcome and thank
you for saying that.
But you need to thank
your father too.
Yeah, for sure.
I wanted to go see him today.
All right, cool.
- Ready to get outta here?
- Yes, please.
(upbeat music)
(dramatic tone)
(heavy beat music)
(heavy beat music continues)
(heavy beat music continues)
You make sure you bag
this shit up right
this time, all right?
Yeah, it's all good.
Yeah, that's the same
shit you said last time.
The measurement
was all fucked up.
[Chris] Yeah, that's
why I made sure
I did it right this time.
You can't be fucking
shit up like that.
It's bad for business.
People gonna think we running
some bullshit ass
operation over here.
Malik, I got you.
All right, it's not
gonna happen again.
[Malik] I hope the fuck not.
Man, chill, bro.
Fuck you mean chill?
If you gon' be half-ass
doing shit like this,
this ain't gonna work.
Malik, it was one slip up.
God damn, what do you want
me to do about it, man?
You sure she gonna have all
the money for this shit?
[Chris] Yeah, she
been buying from me
for over a month now.
Yeah, well this is more
than what she usually buys
and I just need to make sure
she gonna be good for it.
I just need to make sure
she ain't on some bullshit
when it comes to
having the money.
Nah, bro.
She's good for it, all right.
She always got the money.
[Malik] Well, you
made sure she is
who she say she is, right?
Yeah, I asked around and Tyreke
said she's just hustling,
you know, till she get
a new job so she can get
some extra money.
Man, how the fuck does
Tyreke know this bitch?
I don't know.
He just said she good
for the money, all right?
[Malik] Yeah, but does Tyreke
really know her like that?
Malik, I don't fucking know.
What do you want me to do, a
background check on this bitch?
Like bro, I asked around,
and that's the only
person who knew her
and I just wanted to make
sure somebody knew her
before I started selling to her.
Come on, Chris.
I wouldn't believe shit that
comes outta Tyreke's mouth.
He ain't nothing but
a fucking crackhead.
He's the only
one who knew her.
Yeah, but I would've
at least checked
more than just Tyreke.
Look bro, she's good for
the money, all right.
That's all that matters.
All right, well as
long as you know
that you gonna be
the one that makes up
for any money that
she's short on.
Fine.
That's fine.
All right, well she's
not gonna be short,
so it don't matter anyway.
Yeah, well we gonna find out.
Where we meeting her at?
[Chris] I always meet up
with her over on 49th Street.
All right, well, we're
gonna do this deal
and we need to head
over to Zav's crib
to drop a shipment off.
We gonna be moving around the
city with that much weight?
Are you sure that's a good idea?
Yeah, I'm not trying to come
all the way back over here.
Zav's crib is right
down the street.
We don't need to go that far.
All right, bro.
You got this?
Yeah, I'm good.
Hey, make sure you come back
with all the money
for this shit.
I already told you, bro,
there ain't gonna be
no problem, all right.
Hurry up too, man.
We got other shit to do.
You must gonna miss me.
I'll be right back.
What's up Chris?
What's up?
Hey, you got all the money
for this shit, right?
Yeah, it's all good.
I just need to see the product.
For what?
You act like you ain't
bought from me before
and was there ever a problem?
No, but I've never bought
this much from you before.
Still, you know
I'm always on point
so that shit's gonna be right.
Yeah, I've been
hearing that you
and your boy been short
changing motherfuckers.
Oh my gosh, bro.
Like, no, it's not even
like that, all right.
We handle business
and we do it right?
Yeah, all right.
Show me the product then.
(dramatic music)
Don't fucking move.
Hey yo, the money's
fucking short.
Police.
Put your motherfucking hands up.
Nah, this gotta
be a joke, right?
This ain't no joke.
Put your motherfucking hands up
and I'm not gonna
tell you again.
(dramatic music)
This is Detective Sanders.
I'm Detective Thomas.
All right, look before
y'all get started,
I just want y'all to know
I ain't telling y'all shit.
Malik, do yourself a favor
and just listen to what
he's about to tell you.
For what?
I ain't got shit to say.
This may be your only
chance to get yourself out
of the shit that
you put yourself in.
Man, this some bullshit.
Malik, hear me out.
We also found the drugs you
were hiding in the trunk.
I didn't give y'all permission
to search my locked trunk.
Y'all better have a
warrant for that shit.
We do have a warrant for that.
And we also have a
warrant for your house.
Get the fuck outta here.
You're not about
to search my house.
It's too late for that.
What we gonna find
in the house, Malik?
Come on, bro.
Stolen guns, maybe
some more drugs.
And you better hope none
of those guns in that house
get traced back to any
unsolved murder investigations.
So what now y'all trying
to pin a body on me?
One of those guns connected
to a murder, Malik?
Okay, what the
fuck do y'all want?
Like Detective Sanders said,
this is your golden
opportunity to help yourself.
What kind of bullshit
y'all want me to do?
We need you to help us get
to the next level
in this drug game.
I ain't no fucking snitch.
I need you to think about
this very carefully, Malik.
You know Malik,
with your record,
you're facing some
serious prison time.
It's not that hard, Malik.
We just need you to help
us get to the next level.
Oh yeah, it's not that hard?
Do you know what kind
of target I would have
on my back for the rest of
my fucking life if I snitch?
We can help with that.
Like Detective Sanders
says, we can help with that,
but you gotta help
us with what we need.
Man, fuck y'all.
Take me back to my cell.
Chris, I gotta be
completely honest with you,
it's not looking good.
What does that mean?
It means you and Malik
are going to prison
for a long time.
How much time can
they even give us?
It's not like we
pulled up with 10 kilos
in the trunk or
something like that.
Yeah, but you
have to remember,
you've sold to me on
several occasions.
That shit adds up.
And that ain't including
what we're gonna find
in the house.
What?
Why are you even
searching the house?
Why are you worried about
what's in the house?
Something in there you
don't want us to find?
Chris, is there
something in the house
that you know about,
possibly more drugs?
Maybe a gun connected
to a dead body?
What the fuck, bro?
I don't know
nothing about no gun
with no body on it or
anything like that.
Yeah, you better hope the
judge sees it that way
or you're going to be
going away for a long time.
Come on, bro.
Don't tell me y'all
found a fucking gun
with a body on it in that house.
Chris, this is the time
to start thinking about
trying to help yourself.
[Thomas] You need to think
about what's
happening here, Chris.
Look, even if y'all found
a gun in that house,
that ain't got
shit to do with me.
Even if we don't
find anything,
we still got you on
narcotics trafficking.
Okay, I think I wanna speak
to a lawyer or something.
You sure you wanna
go that route?
What the fuck does that mean?
What Detective Thomas
is trying to say is
if you request a lawyer, we
have to stop talking to you.
Yeah, so?
And if we stop talking to you,
we can't offer you this
deal to get you out of this.
What deal?
You asking for a lawyer
or you interested in
hearing this deal?
All right, I wanna
hear about the deal.
We need you to help
us catch bigger fish
than you and Malik.
So you want me to be on
some snitch ass shit?
You can help us get somebody
you don't work with.
It doesn't necessarily
have to be your supplier.
Chris, this is your
ticket to freedom.
You don't wanna fuck that up.
If you help us with this,
it won't matter what
we find in the house.
We can all make it go away.
You're offering
Malik the same deal?
Same deal.
What's he saying?
He's still on the fence.
He didn't say yes, but
he didn't say no either.
This is a group deal.
Both you and Malik
need to be on board.
So if Malik says no, I can't
take the deal for myself?
No, it doesn't work that way.
You and Malik work together
to run your little
drug operation,
so both of you need
to work together
to get these charges dropped.
I think you better
go back to your cell
and have a little
talk with Malik.
You need to convince Malik
that this is the best option
for both you and him.
(people chattering
in background)
I don't know, bro.
I think this might be the
right thing for us to do.
You think they just gonna let
us go if we work with them?
Yeah, if we get that
shit in writing.
So you really ready to
be a fucking snitch?
Malik, bro, they got a
warrant to search the house.
Yeah, I know.
They already told me.
If we do this,
that means everything
they find disappears.
And then what the fuck are
we gonna do if we help them?
We can't just go
back to normal life.
Everybody's gonna know we
worked with the fucking police.
I think we can find a
way around that bro.
And how do we do that?
Look, all we gotta do is
help the police find somebody
that moves more weight than us.
But then we tell 'em we
won't testify in court.
Nah, nah, I don't think
it's gonna be that easy.
It don't work like that.
You know these
motherfuckers want more.
Bro, it don't hurt to ask.
Let's just see what they say.
Man, if we do this,
I'm not wearing a wire.
We gonna do it plain
and simple, all right?
Yeah, I'm with you bro.
I don't wanna do
that shit either.
I just need to think about
this for a minute, man.
Man, don't take too long, bro.
We gotta make a decision
fast, all right,
or it's not gonna be
on the table anymore.
Did you already tell
him you would do this?
Man, they wouldn't
even give me the chance
to say yes or no.
They said I gotta
talk to you, bro.
It's either we both do it
or it's not gonna happen.
Come on, man.
You know it's not that simple.
They're not gonna let
us get off that easy.
Bro, that's why we get
all this shit on paper.
All right, we get
everything in writing
that they're gonna do for us
and that we're
gonna do for them.
So who the fuck are we
gonna give 'em, man?
I mean, it doesn't
really matter.
Just give 'em somebody we
don't fuck with like that.
Like we just need
to give 'em somebody
who moves more weight than us.
Okay, so what's the first
name that comes to mind?
What about that
motherfucker Deion
who be trapping on Oak Street?
Yeah, he does move
more weight than we do.
Yeah.
But how we gonna get
him to sell to us?
Bro, like I think he will.
I mean, as long as
we have the money,
why the fuck would he care?
Why the fuck not?
Okay, so what the fuck are
we gonna say when he asks
why we're not buying
from our normal supplier?
Malik, bro, we just
make some shit up.
Tell him, oh, we can't get
in contact with our plug.
I need to think
about this shit, bro.
I'm not trying to
make this problem
worse than it is already.
You feel me?
- I feel you?
- All right.
Hey Alicia, what's going on?
Malik, are you gonna
be able to bail out?
Look, I don't
know all that yet.
Is Chris in there with you?
Yeah, we're in the same cell.
Okay, so what's
going on with Chris?
Did he get a bail amount yet?
Nah, he didn't get
that info yet either.
Okay, so like what should
I be doing right now?
Should I be getting money
together in case you get a bail?
No, just wait on all that.
I'm trying to figure out what
my next move is gonna be.
Malik, I'm worried about you.
I just wanna get you out of
there as soon as possible.
Everything's gonna
be all right.
I got some things
moving in our favor.
What do you mean by that?
I can't really talk
about all that yet.
I just need to make some moves
to get me and Chris outta here.
Wait, they said
they might let you
and Chris outta there today?
It's a possibility.
Okay, well how soon
are you gonna know
if they're gonna let
you and Chris out?
Alicia, you gotta chill.
I just need you to
trust me on this, okay?
All right, well is there
anything that I can do
to help speed this process up?
No.
I just, I don't need you
to do anything right now.
Just go home and I'll call you
to come pick us up
if they let us go.
Can you just make
sure that you call me
as soon as you
find something out?
Yes, I'll call you
if they let us know whether
they'll let us go today or not.
Okay.
Well, just do whatever
you need to do
to get you and
Chris out of there.
Girl, you need to chill.
Just relax.
I got this figured out.
I just need some time to put
the pieces together, okay?
Okay, I trust you.
All right.
All right, look, me and
Chris talked this over.
And what'd you come up with?
We're gonna give you
somebody who moves
more weight than we do.
[Thomas] Are you on board
with this too, Chris?
Yeah, I'm cool with it,
as long as we get this
little agreement in writing.
You didn't even tell us who
you're gonna help us catch.
His name's Deion.
- Deion who?
- Deion Johnson.
That name rings a bell.
I just can't put a
face to the name.
Are y'all talking
about Deion Johnson,
that's always over
there on Oak Street?
[Malik] Yeah, that's him.
Oh yeah, Deion
Johnson on Oak Street.
Yeah, now I know who
you're talking about.
Yeah, but before we move
forward with anything,
we're gonna need
everything in writing.
Yeah, 'cause y'all cops
be on some funny shit
and I'll be damned
if I put my name
or my reputation
on some bullshit.
And you said everything you
find in the house gets tossed.
I want that in this
little contract that we're
about to agree on.
And we leaving here today.
I don't wanna hear
about something
that's gonna take a couple
days to get us outta here
or some shit like that.
Fuck that, we walking out
of here free men tonight.
Okay, we could put
whatever you guys feel is
necessary in writing.
However, before we
agree on anything,
we need to do a
deconfliction report.
Now what the fuck is that?
It's a report that we send out
to other law enforcement
agencies letting them know
that we're conducting an
undercover investigation.
In the report, we name the
target of the investigation
to make sure no one is
working with that person.
If no other agencies are
working a case with Deion,
then we're good to go.
But if someone is already
working a case with Deion,
we're gonna need you two to
give us a different name.
Sound like a plan to you guys?
- All right, cool.
- Let's do it.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
So I think I'm gonna go
meet with Deion first,
and then when he's
comfortable, I'll bring you in.
Yeah, that's a good idea, bro.
If we both pull up on Deion
at the same time looking
for work, he gonna
think something's up.
Yeah, we cannot fuck
any of this shit up.
Bro, I think we can do what
we gotta do for the cops
and still get out of it
to where nobody knows
we even did it.
We can't let anybody know
we buying from Deion.
Yeah, when we set
these deals up,
you gotta have 'em go
down to where nobody's
around to see us when they do.
I'm gonna go to Oak Street
where Deion usually is
and see if I can
talk to him there.
Okay, you gonna make
it look like you
just bumped into him?
Yeah, that's what
I was thinking.
Make it look like
I was in the area
and we just crossed paths.
Okay.
You gonna try to buy
anything the first time?
No, not this time.
After the first meeting,
I'll set something up
for the first buy.
Sounds good, bro.
I'm also gonna need
you to stay here.
I don't want him to see us
together yet, all right?
- I got you.
- (hands slapping)
- Yo D, what's up?
- What's up, Malik?
Yo, lemme holler at
you for a minute.
What's up?
Look, my plug having a problem
with his supplier right now.
I was just headed over
to my cousin's house
to see if he could help me out
but it looks like I
ran into you first.
Thought you and Chris
had shit locked down
on the west end.
We do, but like I said,
we're having some
problems right now.
So what you need from me?
I'm just saying, maybe you
could break me something off
until shit gets
right with my plug.
That's all I'm saying.
Yo bro, I'm don't be doing
big orders like that.
Come on, man.
Why you fronting?
I know you got it.
Break us off.
Yo, how about you go
holler at your cousin,
see what he working with,
and then come back to me?
Nah man.
Come on man, he be on some
bullshit and you right here.
Come on.
I mean, how much you talking?
'Cause if we gonna be,
if I'm like fronting you
till you get your money up.
Nah, nah, it's
nothing like that man.
Look, we got the money,
we just need the supplier.
Oh, you got a prayer
for the weight?
Come on, man.
You know me and Chris is
kicking the fuck up over there.
All right, that's what's up.
- That's what's up.
- Yeah, yeah.
So what's up man?
You gonna help us or not?
All right.
How soon we talking?
How soon can you get it?
Oh you need the shit now.
Come on, man, the
sooner the better.
Yo, you sure your
boy ain't get picked
up by the feds or some shit?
Nah man, like I told you,
he's having problems
with his supply chain.
It's gonna be back
up and running soon.
It just feels like he fucked
up your whole operation,
no heads up whatsoever.
Bro, you know these
people don't give a fuck
about no plug having a
drought or nothing like that.
These motherfuckers
care about they drugs.
Come on, man, you
know I'm good for it.
I got you.
I don't know, bro.
Come on, man, break us off.
All right, you
still got me on IG?
Yeah, I think so.
Hit me up on IG
in a few hours.
I'll see what I can give you.
All right, hell yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
- (hands slapping)
- I'm a holler at you.
[Thomas] Did you make
contact with Deion yet?
Yeah, he told me to
give him a call later
to see if he can
get some weight.
Wait, what's that
supposed to mean?
I thought you said you could get
more weight than he could get.
Yeah, well he's not sure if
he can give me that much yet.
Look, if Deion can't come
up with some more weight,
you guys have a serious problem.
Well, if he can't
then I'll just
find somebody else who can.
All right, I also
talked to my supervisor.
He says he needs at least
three different people
to buy from Deion.
Now why the fuck would
he need three people?
The DA says they need at
least three different people
to buy from Deion in order to
make this a rock solid case.
Yo Thomas, that's not the
fucking deal we agreed to.
I know, I explained that to
him, but my hands are tied.
They want three people,
they get three people.
So what, now I'm supposed
to drag somebody else
- into this shit?
- Yeah, I guess so.
You see that's that snake shit
that you motherfuckers be
pulling on people, man.
It's not that big of a deal.
Just get one of your
friends to buy from Deion.
So you're asking
me to get somebody
to be a fucking snitch.
Somebody who ain't got shit to
do with me and Chris's case.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Listen, can you make
this work or not?
Well, I guess the fuck so,
'cause if I don't, y'all
motherfuckers will just lock me
and Chris up back in that cell.
[Thomas] Is it a
yes or is it a no?
Yeah, I'll make it work.
[Thomas] Perfect, I'll
tell my supervisor.
How long do I have?
I'll tell him you got
somebody lined up,
I just won't give him a name.
But you're gonna have
to give me a name soon.
I'll need at least a week.
You can get two days.
I'm not giving you a week.
All right, I'll make it work.
Okay.
(door creaking)
- Hey ma.
- Hey son.
What's this?
Oh, I got you some food
from that restaurant
on South Street
you like so much.
Oh, I love that place.
Thank you, son.
I wanted to come by and
check how you're doing.
I know it's been a minute
since I've been around.
Um-hmm, got so
grown and too busy
to check up on your mama, huh?
No, it's not like that.
It's just, you know.
Yeah, I know you're too busy.
No, I be meaning to come by
and then just things
come up and it's-
Right, but you
know what they say.
People make time for
what's important to them.
No, I'll just be in
the middle of things
and by the time I'm done with
everything, it's too late.
Wait, what type of things?
Just things.
Wait, you're not
running the streets?
Are you getting to
those types of things?
I like to stay busy, you
know, what can I say?
I want you to say that
you're staying out of trouble.
Mom, you have nothing to
worry about, all right.
Don't worry about me.
I'm gonna be okay, all right?
How's Imoni?
- Are y'all two still together?
- Yes and she's doing great.
Okay, good.
- How are you?
- I've been good.
As a matter of fact, I talked
to your father the other day.
- Oh, how's, how's pops?
- Um-hmm.
You know what?
Maybe you should
talk to him too.
I know it's been a long time
since y'all seen each other.
Yeah, well last time we
didn't really see eye to eye
at all.
Deion, your father loves you.
He just wants
what's best for you.
He likes things seen through
his way and only his so.
Oh really?
Sounds like somebody
I know (chuckling).
You really want
me to go see him?
Can you please, for me?
Fine.
I'll go see him
to make you happy.
Good.
- Stay outta trouble.
- I will try.
What have you
been up to today?
Nothing much, you
know, just the usual.
Seems like something's
weighing on your mind.
Did something happen today?
No, I just went to see my mom.
What's happening
with your mom?
Nothing, she's good.
She wants me to see my pops.
When's the last time
you talked to your dad?
I don't even know.
It's been a while.
So what are you gonna do?
I mean, I promised
her I'd go see him
so I have to go see him.
Did you want me
to go with you?
No, I'm good.
I can go on my own.
It's just last time it
didn't end on the best note,
so I don't know exactly
how it's gonna go.
It'll be fine.
He's your dad.
He loves you.
And plus, you two are
way too much alike.
That's probably why
y'all don't get along.
You really think
we're that much alike?
Absolutely.
I don't know how
you don't see it.
Yeah, that's what my mom said.
We're both hardheaded, so.
I agree with your mom.
All right, guess I'll
go see my pops today.
(door knocking)
Hey, come on in.
Well, look who it is, my
son who sometimes seems
to forget he still has a father.
Come on, dad.
You know the last time we
was here it didn't end well.
And for good reason.
Look, I didn't, I didn't
come here to argue.
Okay, so then I guess you
came here to apologize
for the things you said
the last time we spoke.
Um-um, mom sent me.
Okay, I see what's
going on here.
So you're just doing a
favor for your mother?
Look, why has it
gotta be like that?
Like what?
Like me being a good
father by giving my son
some wise advice?
You call talking down
on me giving me advice?
I wasn't talking
down to you son,
but I was raising
my voice a bit.
And that's because sometimes
that's the only way
you seem to hear me.
I think it's
crazy how you talk
about being this great father.
All you do is tell me
what I shouldn't be doing.
Like really, what am I doing?
Oh, cut the bullshit, Deion.
You don't think I know
what you're doing out here
in the streets?
I'm just following
your footsteps, dad.
Okay, so we're gonna
play that card?
It is what it is.
Look, I made mistakes years
ago in the streets, okay?
And you should be
looking at my bad choices
as a blueprint for
what not to do.
Now you wanna play victim?
Oh, ain't nobody playing no
damn victim around here, okay.
God, look, I had to
watch mom cry herself
to sleep every
night on that couch.
And I would have
to go in my room
and cry in the dark
so she wouldn't have
to see the tears fall down
my fucking face, so don't.
Look, I'm sorry, okay.
But how many goddamn times
do I need to say I'm sorry?
Because you left us, man.
You left us and I had to grow
up and be the man of the house
and I was a little kid
and I just, I just.
Look, I was selling dope
to make ends meet, okay,
and I was wrong for doing that.
Exactly.
So really think about that
next time you wanna come around
for your little do
the right thing speech
'cause I'm not hearing it.
Deion, look, okay, I just
don't want the same thing
to happen to you.
I'm leaving.
Nah, fuck this, I'm leaving.
Okay, yeah.
You know what?
Fine, whatever.
What's up Malik?
Yeah, I gotta grab something
from the crib real quick,
but I can meet you
at the same spot.
All right, word?
All right, I'll see you.
- What's up Deion?
- What's up, Malik?
- You got that?
- I got it.
Hey man, I really
appreciate you
for coming through for me, man.
You know, it's all good.
You think you could
hook Chris up too?
Why can't you break off Chris
some of what I just gave you?
This is enough for me.
He's gonna need something too.
I can get Chris some work,
but it's not gonna be as much.
I mean, shit, I still got
my own operation to run.
That's cool, man.
He just needs something to get
himself up and running again.
All right, all right.
- Just hit me up later.
- All right, I'm there.
Do you think Malik's gonna
go all the way
through with this?
He seems eager enough
to wanna make this work.
Yep, I think he's gonna get us
what we need to get to Deion.
Well, I hope he realizes
he's under a time constraint.
He can't just drag
this case along.
If he tries to make
the case go slower,
I'll be sure to remind
him that we need this case
to speed up.
So what do I need to do now?
Did you find a third person
to buy from Deion yet?
I'm still working on that?
Well, you need to work fast.
The DA needs this
case to move faster.
Look, I'll go ask
my girl Alicia.
She can be the third buyer.
Did you talk to
her about this yet
or is this some random
thought you're having?
I'm about to go see
her now so I'll see.
Malik, if she doesn't
wanna get involved in this,
do you have another person?
I'm more than positive
that she'll say yes.
I just gotta go ask her.
Almost positive
ain't gonna cut it.
We need to be sure she's
gonna be the third buyer.
All right, I'll make it work.
So, what did you wanna
talk to me about?
Alicia, I need you
to do me a big favor.
What kind of favor?
Look, the other day when
me and Chris got locked up,
the only reason
they let us out is
because we agreed to
cooperating with the police.
You agreed to work
with the cops?
Are you serious?
Alicia, I had no other choice.
They had a search
warrant for the house
and they said that
if we help 'em
they would pretty much get
rid of all the charges.
And what did they want
you to do for them?
They want us to help
set somebody up.
And you agreed to doing that?
What else was I
supposed to do?
Okay, well who did they
want you to set up?
Deion from Oak Street.
Why are you just telling
me about this now?
Well, I didn't wanna
tell you at all,
but I need your help with this.
What kind of help?
I need you to buy some
weight from Deion.
They said they need one more
person to buy from Deion.
And they said after that
we should be good to go.
Malik, are you asking me what
I think you're
asking me right now?
[Malik] I just need you to
buy from Deion one time.
Why would you try to
drag me into this shit?
Alicia, I really need
your help with this.
Did you already tell the
cops that I was gonna help?
No, but I did tell them that
I would talk to you about it.
And you can't find anyone else
to help you out with this?
No, Alicia, who else
am I supposed to ask?
Why can't you and Chris
just buy from Deion?
I don't know why, but this
is what they need me to do.
Okay, well could
you come with me
to buy from Deion or
do I have to go alone?
Look, I already
thought this through.
Me, you and Chris
will all go together
and buy some weight from Deion.
Well, isn't that
gonna look suspicious
if all three of us go?
No, it's not.
I already bought
some shit from him
and I just told him that
Chris will buy something.
[Alicia] All right, well
what are you gonna say
about me being there?
I'll just tell him
that you're my girl
and that you're trying to
get some pills or something.
You think he's
gonna believe that?
[Malik] Hell yeah, he's
gonna believe that.
Okay, well I'm not gonna
have to wear a fucking wire
or anything like that, right?
[Malik] No, no, no.
It's nothing like that.
Right, so I'm just gonna go
and buy some pills from
Deion and that's it?
We'll just go buy
some shit from Deion
and we let the cops know
what we got from him.
Okay, I'm just gonna
do this this one time.
All right.
- What's up, Malik?
- What's up, D?
- What's up, bro?
- What's up, Chris?
- Who this?
- This my girl Alicia.
Hey.
What's up with you
bringing all these people
to my operation, dog?
Y'all motherfuckers finna
set me up on some shit?
Nah man, it's not
even like that.
I just brought Chris
'cause I was the one
who set this up and my girl
Alicia needs some pills.
[Deion] Some pills?
Tell 'em what you need.
Do you have any ecstasy?
[Malik] I can't find anybody
who got them shits, bro.
You think you can
hook my girl up?
All right, all right.
So Chris, you still buying
what you need, right?
And what you need ecstasy now?
Yeah, bro.
I just need a few things
to get my blocks up
and running again.
You feel me?
Come on, man.
You the only person I
know who can get it.
Will you help us out?
Yeah, yeah.
We just gotta slide
back to my crib for it.
Okay, that's fine, right?
Yeah, we'll just follow you.
- Chris, you got your bread?
- Yeah bro.
I got you right here.
(hands slapping)
Chris, you good?
You straight?
Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, I appreciate you dog.
I owe you for this
one, all right?
- All right.
- Hey, yo, Malik,
I'm gonna catch you.
- All right, bro.
- All right, Alicia.
All right, let's go, you two.
Follow me back to my crib.
I'll be honest
with you, Malik,
I wasn't too sure you were
gonna be able to do this.
But we got everything we need
to get an arrest
warrant for Deion.
And all we need from
the three of you now is
to confirm that this is
the person who sold you
the illegal narcotics, the
evidence that you gave us.
I just wanted to make
sure that we don't have
to testify in court
or anything like that.
No, this will be the last
thing you need to do.
And are y'all 100% sure
that nobody will find out
that it was us that
gave y'all to Deion?
No one will ever know
any of you had anything
to do with this,
with Deion's arrest.
Okay, but when you
guys arrest him
and he starts asking questions
like how you got to him
or who led you to
him, you can lie
and say it was
somebody else, right?
His lawyer will be given
a discovery packet.
In the discovery packet
will be our police reports.
None of these reports are
gonna mention your names
And what will be
in the reports?
You three will
be listed as CI,
numbers one, two, and three.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, CI,
what does that mean?
Confidential informant.
So if you guys agree
that this is the person
you purchased the
narcotics from,
all I need is your signature
next to Deion's picture.
(ominous music)
Deion, you're under arrest.
Get your hands in the air.
Put your hands up.
(ominous music)
- (door banging)
- Come in.
Imoni, what's wrong?
They just arrested Deion and
they have him at the jail.
What?
What happened?
I don't know.
I just found this
out from my cousin.
Oh my God.
I just don't know
what I should do.
What else did your cousin say?
She said that she was
riding down Oak Street
and she seen two police put
him in the back of a cop car.
What was he arrested for?
She didn't say.
She tried to ask them and
they wouldn't tell her.
Wait, was your
cousin able to talk
to Deion before
he got in the car?
No, but she asked
one of the cops
where they was taking him and
they said they were taking him
to the county jail.
Wait, was he by himself or
were other people arrested?
No one else was
arrested, just Deion.
All right, Imoni, I
need you to relax.
I'm just, I'm gonna
figure this all out.
I just don't know
what I should do.
I need you to go home.
I'm gonna go to the jail,
find out whatever
information I can,
then I'll give you a call.
Okay.
Did you want me to go with you?
No, just go home, all right.
I'll call you as soon as
I get this sorted out.
Just let me know
if there's anything
that I can do to help.
Let me know if he can bail out.
I will, I promise.
And again, I'm sorry for just
coming over here like this,
but I just couldn't call.
No, it's fine.
You did the right thing,
(people talking in background)
Deion, what the
hell is going on?
I don't know.
I was walking home,
two cops pulled up,
and they arrested me.
What did you get arrested for?
Something about
narcotic distribution.
They said they got evidence
of me dealing to a
whole bunch of people.
Wait, they didn't ask you
any questions yet, did they?
Nah, they just cuffed my
ass and threw me in here.
All right, look,
do not say a word.
And if they ask, say that you
wanna speak to your lawyer.
Ma, I don't have a lawyer.
I'm working on that.
If they ask, say that your
lawyer will be speaking
to them real soon.
All right.
All right, I'll tell 'em that.
Listen, it's gonna
be all right.
We will figure this out.
How did you even know
I was up in here?
I didn't get a phone
call or anything.
Imoni came by.
Her cousin saw you
getting arrested.
No, what the fuck, bro?
Nobody's telling
me what bail is.
Nobody's talking to me.
I don't even know why I'm
in this motherfucker, bro.
Calm down, calm down.
I don't know what's going on.
Listen, calm down, calm down.
We will figure this out.
All right, all
right, all right.
I'm sorry.
(door knocking)
Jay, Deion got arrested.
When the fuck did that happen?
- Earlier today.
- Come on in.
So I really don't have
a lot of information.
I just came back from
visiting him at the jail.
Okay, so what's Deion
saying happened?
He's saying he was
walking down the street
and then two cops came
by and arrested him.
Okay, so what did
they charge him with?
Narcotics distribution.
Goddammit, I told
that fucking kid
that something bad was
gonna happen to him.
Can you put all of that aside
so we can figure this shit out?
Keya, what do you
want me to do?
I told this damn kid if he
kept running the streets,
something bad was gonna happen
to him and look now, now,
you see what the
fuck happened now?
Now is not the time
to get pissed off
because he didn't follow
your fatherly advice.
We have to get Deion outta jail.
And how are we gonna
do that, Keya, huh?
You have bail money?
As a matter of fact, do we
even know if he has a bail?
No, they didn't say
anything about bail.
Okay, well if they haven't
said anything about bail yet,
that means they probably
have him in there
on a no bail warrant.
And if that's the case,
there ain't a goddamn thing
we can do to help this kid.
Jay, I didn't come here to
start an argument with you.
I came here so you can
help me figure this out.
Okay, figure what
out, Keya, all right?
If they really have him in
there on a no bail warrant,
they must have some pretty
solid evidence against him.
I mean, what the
fuck did this kid do,
sell to an undercover cop
or some shit like that?
He didn't say
anything like that.
Look, I know you're concerned.
You're his mother,
okay, I get that.
But you gotta stop
babying this kid, okay?
He needs to learn the hard way.
Jay, what the fuck
are you talking about?
He's your son, you
should be more concerned.
Look, have they said
anything to him?
Have they questioned him
about any of this shit yet?
No, they haven't
questioned him.
All right, look, the next
time you go talk to him,
you need to tell
him not to say shit
until he's able to speak
to a public defender.
A public defender?
Are you fucking crazy?
He needs a good lawyer.
A good lawyer?
Keya, you got good lawyer money?
'Cause I sure as hell don't.
You know what?
I need to get outta here
because it's clear that
you don't give a fuck
about your son.
Keya, don't say stupid
like that, okay.
I absolutely care
about our son, okay.
But he put himself in
this situation, okay.
He's in this situation because
of bad choices he made.
Jay, get up off your
fucking high horse.
You're acting like
you've never been
in this situation before.
He probably learned
from your ass.
Okay, so you're
gonna turn this on me
like this is my fault.
I told that kid specifically
don't do what I did.
Jay, go fuck yourself.
You know what, Keya, get
the fuck outta my house.
I don't got time
for this bullshit.
Fucking bitch.
Girl, what the hell
is wrong with Jay
and why is he acting like that?
I don't know what the
fuck his problem is.
I mean, and like you said,
he's been in a similar
situation before,
so I don't understand
why he's so upset.
Exactly.
But you know how Jay is.
He's fucking stubborn.
Okay, so what's your plan now?
All right, I'm gonna ask
you a really big favor.
So I know that you're a
paralegal at a law firm
and I wanted to know if you
can talk to some of the lawyers
and see if they can work
on the case for Deion.
Oh yeah, I can
definitely talk to one
of them about helping Deion.
Okay, I really,
really appreciate that
because he needs a good lawyer
and not a public defender.
Okay, hmm.
I think I know someone who
might be perfect for that.
Oh really?
What's his name?
Ron Berkeley.
He actually helps a lot
of people with drug cases
like this one.
Perfect.
I don't have a lot
of money right now
so do you think they'll
be willing to give me
a payment plan?
Oh yeah, girl,
he'll hook you up.
I mean, matter of fact,
he'll give you a discount.
I know about all the
women he's been sleeping
with behind his wife's back.
Good because I need
all the help I can get.
I mean, I definitely
keep my mouth shut
about everything that
goes in the office,
but he's definitely
gonna owe me a favor.
Good.
All right, bro.
Man, what we gonna do now?
I think we go
back to hustling.
What?
Bro, you don't think
that's a bad idea?
You don't think we should wait
till this Deion stuff
is done and over with?
Why the fuck would we do that?
The cops said we'll be good.
Yeah, but it's gonna look
a certain type of way, bro.
And what the fuck is
that supposed to mean?
Bro, people are gonna
start thinking something
if me and you start
moving big weight
after Deion gets locked up.
Man, nobody about to
start thinking nothing.
All those motherfuckers
care about is getting high.
They don't give a fuck
about no Deion's case.
Bro, what about the cops?
You don't think they're
gonna be looking
and watching over us still?
Bro, you're acting like
a real bitch right now.
What the fuck are
you so scared of?
Man, I ain't trying to be
in the same situation
again, man, that's it.
You feel me?
Motherfucker, I'm broke.
I need money.
I'm going back to this trapping
shit all day and all night.
That's way too risky, man.
We need to wait till this
Deion shit dies down.
Nah, fuck that.
I'm getting back to this money.
Look bro, I need
my bread too, man.
But not at the risk of me
getting locked up again.
Look, you do whatever
the fuck you wanna do.
If you're too scared,
just let me know.
It's not about being scared,
bro, it's about being smart.
Call it whatever
the fuck you want.
Just let me know if you
serious about getting out
so I can take over
all your blocks.
Hey Imoni?
Alicia?
Hey, I just wanted to
say I'm really sorry
about what happened with Deion.
Oh, you know about that?
Yeah, I heard he got
set up or something.
Wait, what are
you talking about?
You know, just people
are saying things.
Alicia, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
All I know is that
Deion got locked up.
Yeah and I just wanted to say
that I was sorry about
what happened to him.
What else have you heard?
Oh, nothing really, just
people are talking about it.
Okay, so what are
people saying, Alicia?
I'm probably saying too much.
No, Alicia, if you know
something you need to tell me.
Look, I don't know anything.
All I know is that I'm sorry
about what happened with Deion.
Why would you be sorry?
You have nothing to do with
Deion getting locked up.
Well, I saw you walking by
and I know you're his girlfriend
and I've never had a
problem with Deion.
And I just wanted
to say that it was
a really big shame
what happened to him.
Alicia, I haven't talked to
you in I don't know how long.
All of a sudden,
Deion gets locked up
and you wanna stop
and speak to me.
I shouldn't have
said anything.
Look, I'm sorry again about
what happened with Deion.
Wait, Alicia, what the
fuck are you talking about?
Do you know that
someone set up Deion?
I have to go.
You need to tell me
if you know something.
Did somebody set
Deion up on purpose?
Look, I don't know anything
about what happened with Deion.
I'm sorry.
I really think that
Alicia knows something
about Deion getting arrested.
Yeah, why would she say sorry
and then not say anything else?
I don't know.
Something isn't right.
I haven't seen
her in a long time
and today she said
something to me.
Why did she say
something to me today?
Does she know,
like how does she know
anything about Deion's case?
I mean, does she have
any family members
that are cops or
something like that?
I don't think so.
[Keya] This doesn't
make any sense.
She has a boyfriend
that's in the streets.
But I've never
seen her boyfriend
have anything to do with Deion.
- Who's her boyfriend?
- I think his name is Malik.
So wait, when you say
that he's in the streets,
he's out there selling
dope or something?
I mean, he's into all
kind of shit like that.
I think Alicia knows something
and I bet it's
connected to Malik.
You think Malik
snitched on Deion
or set him up or
something like that?
I don't know but do you know
if he got arrested recently?
I don't know.
Hmm, you know, I wonder if
Malik and Alicia got arrested
and they snitched on Deion
to get out of the charges.
I never heard of Deion
dealing with Malik like that.
Why would he know anything
about what Deion is doing?
Girl, everybody knows what
everybody does in the streets.
I can ask around and see
if Malik got arrested
for something lately.
Good.
Get as much
information as you can
and see if he got
arrested recently.
Okay, I'll let you know as
soon as I find something out.
Okay.
Well listen, I'm in the
process of getting a lawyer
for Deion.
Okay, but is getting
a good lawyer
gonna get him outta jail.
I hope so but I still need
to look at the evidence.
I need to see if there's
anything in the evidence
about Malik and Alicia.
How soon can you get evidence?
I don't know.
But if I get this lawyer
that's working with my friend,
hopefully, that'll
speed things up.
Look, Keya, I'm sorry
about snapping on you
the other day, okay?
I'm just really upset
and just fucking frustrated
about all this bullshit
that Deion has going on.
Listen, none of that
is important right now
'cause it looks like
the problem that we have
with Deion is a little bit
different than what we thought.
Wait a minute, did
something happen?
Yes, Imoni said that
she bumped into somebody
and this girl said
that Deion was set up.
So wait, set up by who?
So this girl Alicia, she
has a boyfriend named Malik
and she said that she's sorry
for what happened to Deion.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
So you think that
this girl, Alicia,
is somehow connected
to Deion's case?
Maybe Alicia, maybe Malik.
All right, wait a minute.
Does Imoni know who Malik is?
She knows he sells dope.
Motherfucker.
So wait a minute, did this
motherfucker Malik get arrested
for selling drugs and
then flip on Deion?
I'm not saying
anything like that,
but it sure as
hell looks like it.
All right, hold on, hold on.
Now this changes things
a little bit, okay?
Now I'm not saying Deion
should be out in the streets
out here trapping and whatever
other bullshit he's doing.
But we can't have some
snitch ass motherfucker
setting our son up,
nah, fuck that shit.
- That ain't gonna happen.
- Right.
So I told Imoni to
listen out on the streets
and see if Malik got
arrested recently.
Okay, did Deion get
his discovery packet?
Because in that packet
it should have evidence
that'll explain how
they set him up,
if that's what they did.
I'm still working on that.
Okay.
Hmm, yeah, these fucking
prosecutors and district attorneys,
they can be sneaky
as fuck when it comes
- to that discovery packet.
- Um-hmm.
They like to conveniently
leave out evidence
that'll help your case.
And believe me, I speak
firsthand on that bullshit.
That's why I'm working on
getting Deion a good lawyer.
How are you gonna do that?
Well, I have a friend,
she works at a law firm.
She's gonna talk to some lawyers
and see if she can find one
that can work on the case.
Yeah, so what lawyer
are you trying to get?
- His name is Ron Berkeley.
- Oh, Ron Berkeley.
Yeah, I see his commercials
on TV all the time.
I hear he's pretty good.
Yeah, I mean, he
said he might be
able to give us a discount.
Well, I'll tell you what,
you're gonna need that discount
because lawyers like that,
they don't come cheap.
Well, do you think you could
help me out a little bit?
Look here, I'm kind of
between jobs right now.
I mean, I'll be able to
help out a little bit,
but it might not be much, okay?
- Okay.
- I mean, I'll be able
- to do something, okay?
- Okay.
Destiny, I can't thank you
enough for helping me on this
and bringing the
discover packet so soon.
Oh yeah, girl, it's
really no problem.
I'm just really
glad I could help.
Oh, good.
And guess what?
I was able to talk to
Ron before you got here,
and so he's gonna have the
secretary get in contact with me.
They're gonna give
me a payment plan
that's gonna fit my budget.
Okay, great.
Well, he actually
wanted me to talk to you
about something he
found in the report.
- Okay.
- Okay, so here it is.
So it says that there
were three people
- who bought drugs off of Deion.
- Oh shit.
Imoni was right, they
did set up Deion.
I remember you
telling me about it
possibly being a set up.
But now that we have
this information,
we know that Deion
wasn't arrested randomly.
Why would they set him up?
Wait, does it say in there
who the three people are?
No, it just says CI
one, two, and three.
I gotta find out who
those three people are.
You really wanna
be careful Keya.
If they find out that you talked
to anyone who helped the cops,
they're definitely gonna charge
you with witness tampering.
No, I'll make
sure I'm careful.
No, you really wanna
be careful, Keya.
If the DA finds out
that you did anything
with this case and you
fucked up their case,
they're definitely
gonna come after you.
Listen, I just need to
figure this shit out.
But I'm 100% positive
they got Alicia and Malik
to set Deion up.
Hmm, so who do you think
the third person could be?
Do you think it's someone
that Deion had beef with?
No, I think it's
connected to Malik.
Hmm, so how are
you gonna find out
who the third person is?
Better yet, like
what is your plan?
You know what?
It's actually best
I don't even know.
Listen, I have to help
out my son, Destiny.
I understand that, but
you really wanna do
this the right way, Keya.
Best believe, anything I
do is done the right way.
Okay, please be careful.
You don't wanna make this
any worse than it already is.
So I got the discover
packet for Deion's case
and it said that three people
bought drugs from Deion.
- Three people?
- Um-hmm.
Shit, now what
are we gonna do?
Well, I'm gonna find Alicia.
But until then I need you
to get information from her.
You think she was one
of the three people?
Yes, I do.
I don't think she's
gonna admit to that.
Listen, get as much
information as you can.
I don't know.
The last time I seen her,
she was quick to leave.
She ain't gonna talk to me.
Just put a little
bit of pressure.
(chuckling and
clapping) I got you.
Listen, I'm not saying
do anything to her,
just press her a little bit.
All right, I got you.
But she gonna know I'm
not fucking around.
Good, good, 'cause we
need to find as many holes
in this case as we can.
Okay.
Did you get Deion a lawyer?
Yes, he was the one that
gave me the discover packet.
So his name is Ron Berkeley,
he works with my friend,
and he's gonna be the lawyer
that's gonna be on the case.
Who's this Berkeley guy?
And is he gonna get
Deion to beat the case?
I don't know.
He hasn't had time to
look over the case,
but everybody is saying
that he's a good lawyer.
Okay, I'm gonna go
and find Miss Alicia.
And as soon as I talk to
her, I'm gonna talk to you.
- Good, thanks Imoni.
- No problem.
Anything I can do to
help Deion, I'm with it.
Hey, Alicia?
What do you want
with me, Imoni?
I just told you I
don't know anything.
I just wanna ask you
a couple questions.
I just said I don't
know anything.
You're a fucking liar.
You didn't stop me that day
because you don't know shit.
You know more than
you're telling me.
I can't help you.
Yes you can and you will.
You gonna tell me what you
and Malik did to Deion?
You know what?
You need to talk
to Malik about this
because I didn't want shit to do
with what happened with Deion.
See, bitch, I knew you had
something to do with that shit.
Look, this isn't my fault.
Why the fuck did y'all
set him up like that?
You know what, Imoni, you
can get in a lot of trouble
by just talking to me
about Deion's case.
What does that mean?
It means you need to stay
the fuck away from me.
You were one of the
three people that worked
with the cops to
put Deion in jail.
How the fuck did you know
there were three of us?
You didn't think we was
gonna find out, bitch?
You know what?
Just get the fuck away from me.
Why you still working
with the cops?
If you come near me again,
I'll tell the detective
working on Deion's case
that you were harassing
and threatening me.
I guess once a snitch,
always a snitch.
If you come near me again,
you're going to regret it.
I just spoke with Alicia
and she was one of the
people that set Deion up.
So did you find out who
the third person was?
No, but Malik was involved
and apparently he put
all of this together.
That motherfucker.
Yeah, and Alicia said if
I come near her again,
she gonna call the detectives
that's working on Deion's case.
Oh, she said that?
Yeah, that fucking
snitch ass bitch.
I should have punched
her in fucking her face.
Okay, look, I need you to stay
away from Malik and Alicia.
I'm gonna take care of
things from this point.
Okay.
And listen, if you find
out any more information,
I need you to call
me right away.
I will.
Okay, Alicia, I got
something for your ass.
(people talking in background)
Deion, who were the last three
people you were in contact
with before you got arrested?
Chris, Malik, I
think this girl,
what was her name?
Alicia.
Yeah, some white
girl named Alicia.
Interesting, 'cause I
got your discover packet.
It says three people set you up.
Three people, what?
Um-hmm, yeah.
And it looks like it's Malik,
Chris, and Alicia who done it.
What the fuck, bro?
Why would they do this?
Do you have beef with Malik?
Nah, nah, I don't know.
Malik, he came up saying him
and Chris' plug was
having a drought
and they needed me for a hookup,
but we ain't got no beef.
There has to be a reason.
Have you heard anything
in jail about Malik
or Chris getting arrested and
then working with the cops?
I ain't heard shit.
If that's the case, the cops
are doing a damn good job
keeping this shit locked up.
That's some bullshit.
Hey Jay, I need a favor.
I just talked to Deion
and he gave me the names of
the last three people he was
in contact with before
he got arrested.
[Jay] You remember how to
use one of these things?
I remember you taught
me when we were younger,
but I think I do remember.
Yeah, that was
a long time ago.
Yeah, back when
things were better.
Look, this probably
goes without saying,
but if you get
caught with this gun,
you didn't get it from me.
Just tell 'em you
bought it at a gun show
or some shit like that.
Don't worry, I'll make sure
that nothing's traced back
to you in any way.
Keya, look, you know I
would help you with this,
but I got two
felonies on my record.
Just having this gun alone can
get me five years in prison.
I understand.
Just do whatever
you feel is right.
Are you gonna be able
to do this by yourself?
I have no choice.
Our son needs our help.
Keya don't get caught.
What you're about
to do is a lot worse
than what they have
Deion in jail for.
They could put you away
for the rest of your life.
For our son's freedom,
it's worth the risk.
All right, look, as soon
as you're done doing
what you gotta
do, call me, okay?
I will.
Hey, are you Alicia?
Who the fuck are you?
I know that you set Deion up.
What the fuck did he do to you?
Look, I don't know
who the fuck you are,
but you need to
say the fuck away
from me before I
call the police.
I'm Deion's mom, bitch.
And I know you're the
one that put him in jail.
Look, I was just trying
to help out Malik.
I didn't want anything
to do with this.
Then why the fuck did you?
Because Malik was in trouble
and he needed my help.
Well, you could've
said no when he asked.
That's it, I'm
calling the police.
(gun firing)
- Bitch.
- (ominous music)
Motherfucking Malik, dog, man.
(ominous music)
(gun firing)
(gun firing) (Chris grunting)
I know who the fuck you are.
Why the fuck you
snitch on Deion?
Bitch, fuck you and your son.
(gun firing)
(urine splashing)
(door unlatching)
(ominous music)
(fist thudding)
(Keya grunting)
(knee thudding)
(slap spanking)
(Keya grunting)
I hope you know you about
to die for your son, bitch.
I hope it was all worth it.
(ominous music)
(gun firing)
- You all right?
- Yeah.
I thought you weren't
gonna help me with this.
Well, sometimes you gotta
do what needs to be done.
Everything is worth it
for my son, motherfucker.
(gun firing)
All right, give me the guns.
All right, I'm gonna
get rid of these.
You need to get the
fuck outta here.
(ominous music)
There's a special
place in hell
for snitches like
you, motherfucker.
(lighter clicking)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
- Hey Ma.
- Hey Deion.
I'm so happy that
you're out of there.
I was worried about you.
Yeah, my lawyer said all
the charges were dropped.
Yeah, I spoke to him.
He told me to pick you
up around this time.
He said all of the people that
turned me in, they're dead.
I heard about that.
I guess the DA had
to drop them charges
'cause those snitch ass
motherfuckers are dead and gone.
Should I not ask too
much about all this?
I told you I was gonna
help you with this.
All that matters is that
you're free and clear.
Does dad know like
any, any of this?
Let's just say he was
at the right place
at the right time.
Oh, so he, he was
in on this too?
Your dad might not
show it all the time,
but he loves you very much.
Pops turning into
his old self.
I never would've thought that.
Sometimes parents have
to do difficult things
to protect their children.
I guess so.
You'll understand one day
when you have children
of your own.
Well, I'm, I'm not,
I'm not gonna ask
too much about any of this,
but I really appreciate
everything you guys do for me.
You're welcome and thank
you for saying that.
But you need to thank
your father too.
Yeah, for sure.
I wanted to go see him today.
All right, cool.
- Ready to get outta here?
- Yes, please.
(upbeat music)
