[Fontaine] Yo, Biddy.
[Biddy] Hey, Fontaine.
["Nite and Day" by Al B Sure playing

Where's Slick Charles at?
Well, he must owe you some money

So this clean-cut white nigga, right?
He pulls up in a G-Wagon,
and mySpidey senses,
oh they tingling and shit 'cause I'm like,
this nigga, he gotta be12,
or he on some Hannibal shit.
But, you know,
I get my Black ass in the car anyway.
Then the nigga had the nerve to pull out
a razor blade and cut his dick with it.
And then gonna look at me
like Im supposed to touch the nasty shit.
The fuck I look like?
You look like what you is.
- [woman] Hmm?
- Youse a ho.
[R&B music playing]
You know what?
I ain't got to deal
with none of this shit.
I ain't got to deal
with none of this shit.
You ain't nothing
but a habitual line-stepping,
Jedi-mind-tricking motherfucker,
and I ain't got to deal with it!
- You're gonna deal with it.
- [woman] You know why? Do you know why?
Blockchain. That's right, motherfucker.
Blockchain.
You remember, uh, Thursday Tony,
that trick I used to see on Tuesdays,
who lost his house investing
in some bootleg Bitcoin?
Well, that nigga,
his plight got me researching this shit.
Cryptocurrency's a bubble,
everybody knows that.
But blockchain? Oh, that shit the future.
[Charles chuckling]
[woman] You can laugh
if you want to, nigga.
Yo, yo, yo, catch your breath
before you pass the fuck out, hmm?
So you're from the blockchain, huh?
That's what you investing in?
When you gonna do that?
Is that before or after you take off
and backpack
through the mountains of Baconia?
- Patagonia.
- Whatever the fuck.
[funky music playing]
[car engine revving]
[indistinct chatter]
[music ends]
[woman] No! I don't need
no damn valet, you bastard.
Shit! Ow!
[woman exclaiming]
[woman] Hello. Room 107.
Motherfucker.
[banging on door]
[Charles] You know what?
That's why I named your ass Yo-Yo,
'cause you always come right back.
Shit. Shit.
[R&B music playing]
[Charles sighing heavily]
[banging on door]
Fontaine. Man,
where the hell you been at, huh?
I've been looking for your Black ass
all over the universe.
You know,you late.
You know we got shit we gotta settle.
Come on, OG. Where the money at?
Where the money at? [chuckling]
Nigga, where the drugs at?
'Cause that powdered sugar you sold me
ain't hitting on shit.
What we should be talking about
is a a a layaway plan,
or a a motherfucking,
uh, uh, carryover or something,
'cause you
you fucking with the wrong nigga here.
You can always give it back.
But... [sighing]
- Listen.
- [Fontaine] Move, bitch.
This is what I was thinking.
How about we just wipe the slate clean,
Fontaine? Know what I'm sayin'?
And we both just grow, my nigga. Huh?
Hey, hey. Listen, listen.
Fontaine, why don't you take a ho on me?
You look stressed.
I don't really appreciate
how you coming in here, you know,
attacking my castle like that,
you know, in front of my flowers.
You know what I'm saying, Fontaine?
Fontaine! Fontaine! Fontaine, goddamn it!
I was a 1995 International Players Ball
"Pimp of the Year."
Show me some motherfucking respect!
Childhood-ass nigga!
Fontaine. Listen, we ain't liquid
like we used to be, okay?
Look, they dehydrated.
These chickens ain't clucking
like they used to.
It's a cold front.
That's all my contingency right there.
Okay?
Fontaine, why don't you
just give me some more days, huh?
You is a grinch!
- We can settle up another way if you want.
- You think I'm scared of you, nigga?
[exhales]
Why does it always gotta be
Black-on-Black crime? Hmm?
Black men are supposed
to support they niggas!
Take your shit. Dramatic ass.
You're lucky Im a lover, not a fighter.
Bitch-ass nigga.
Hmm? What'd you say?
That's what I thought. Get out of here.
Wasting my motherfucking air.
Y'all ain't shit.

Don't no friend on the job make you
all smiley face in no text message.
So, you know, I waited,
and while this fool went to the bathroom,
he left his phone.
Wanted to see it, so, okay,
I picked it up and went through it.
Let me tell you something, Your Honor,
it wasn't no Reggie from the job.

There's gotta be a logical explanation
to this. Am I seeing shit?
[Fontaine] Man, three,
I'mma bust your shit open.
Man, open the damn door!
[banging on door]
You know why I'm here?
[Charles shuddering]
I think we got more pressing issues
to talk about.
- And what's that?
- They shot your ass.
Nigga, where the money at?
Do you not remember
getting lit the fuck up?
You should be breathing
through some tubes right now.
- Look. I don't have time...
- You took it. Fontaine, you took it.
You came in here,
you went through my haberdasheries.
You passed up on my beige bitch,
and you went outside and pulled a 50 Cent.
[Charles panting]
- I told your ass if you wanna settle...
- We can settle it another way.
Ain't no way. Shit.
You Ghost of Christmas Past-ass nigga.
What the fuck kind of shit
you playing on, huh?
You done sold your soul to the devil.
I know what you did. I know what you did.
If there ain't no juice in this
motherfucker, throw the damn bottle away!
[whispering] Fontaine.
I seen them niggas
shoot your ass six times.
Mm-hmm.
[Charles panting]
You think I'm lying, nigga?
You ask Yo-Yo. She took off on me
just before your ass got in here.
Ask that trifling ass bitch
which one of us is crazy.
[funky music playing]
- Uh-uh.
- [man] Come on, baby.
You aint getting no motherfucking
David Carradine for 50 bucks.
Most I can do for you is a Susan Sarandon.
- Let me get that.
- [Yo-Yo] Maybe a Shalamar.
Nigga, you better get this good deal.
My bad, Yo-Yo.
Need to steal you for a minute.
[man] Don't you see we busy here?
Don't you see
we'll split your wig down the middle
and you'll be a half a nigga?
Get your beige ass the fuck out of here.
You fake Obama-looking motherfucker.
That ain't Michelle, nigga.
Y'all owe me 50 dollars.
I am retired.
I just need some more dough
before I can get to Memphis.
[Charles] There it is again,
that slippery slope of recidivism.
- I hate to see it.
- When I'm there, I'mma find me a real man.
Yeah, I'll find you a real man,
'cause I'm a real motherfucker.
[Yo-Yo] Not some McDonalds-dollar-menu
has-been-ass nigga in a Goodwill suit.
Keep talking goddamnit,
and I'mma slip out of this Goodwill suit
- and slap that fake-ass wig off
- What the fuck did you...?
with nothing but my Gucci boxers on
and be back in this coat
before it wrinkles.
You know I can do it.
[Yo-Yo] Oh, here you go
with this ninja pimp shit.
Hey!
I just need to clear something up
with you real quick.
And you can be right back
on your merry hoeing way.
Uh
Okay.
You seen me last night?
[Yo-Yo] Not like that.
No. Like, literally.
You seen me?
Are you Kevin Bacon?
Wait. What?
Hollow Man. [chuckling]
- That was a good one. You liked it.
- Good movie. Good movie. Yeah.
And I picked that one. You mm-hmm. Okay.
Yes, nigga. I saw you.
You heard them shots after?
I mean, I got ears, dont I?
Somebody was letting them bitches loose.
To be honest, I thought it was you
doing me a favor.
Yo-Yo.
So, what you tryin' to say?
You ain't seen nothin'?
I mean,
I didn't say all of that. [scoffing]
You know your girl gotta know
whats going on in these streets.
So, yeah.
I doubled back after a cool little minute.
I think I saw the perpetrators leaving.
- [Charles] I told you.
- [Yo-Yo grunting]
Well, and?
[Yo-Yo scoffing]
Yeah. I recognize the whip,
'cause I do house calls over on Second.
Hold on. I ain't sanctioned that shit.
Sometimes, I see the car parked
a few driveways down.
So, yeah. It looked mad familiar.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- [car engine starting]
[scoffing] I'm done. You said I could go
on my merry hoeing way.
[DJ] It's your boy, DJ Strangelove.
I know it's been a long day.
I know you need that tall glass of wine.
I got that new Ruckus,
"So Tired."
Damn, I hate this motherfucking song.
["So Tired" by Twelve'len playing]
Fontaine, can you change
this depressing-ass shit?
Every time this song come on, I get
[yawning] sleepy as hell.
[all yawning]
Mm. The house coming up on the left
over here. Oh, that's the car right there.
What the hell you looking at?
That aint the car.
- That is the car.
- Yo-Yo, that ain't the car.
- I know what I saw. Don't tell me...
- Wait a minute.
[Fontaine] I know that car.
[Charles] What you talking about?
[Fontaine] I saw it earlier the other day
at the liquor store.
[Charles] So? Every rapper
and ball player, they all drive that shit.
- [car engine turns off]
- [keys jangling]
[Charles] Oh, goddamn it.
You know what, Fontaine? You got this,
uh, Rambo-esque look about you.
So I'mma let you go and do your thing,
and I'mma just sit right here in the car.
Fresh air might be good
for a nigga, though.
[funky music playing]
[Yo-Yo] Man,
I ain't with this X-Files shit.
[Charles] Fontaine, this ain't no pimpin'.
There ain't nothing pimp about this.
Fuck! I dropped my ring.
[door slams]
- This nigga is crazy.
- [Yo-Yo] Fuck!
You doin' too much.
[Charles] Get over here.
- [Yo-Yo] Damn.
- [Charles] Fontaine.
[Charles sighing]
[Yo-Yo] Wow. This nigga gonna go inside.
Right. Oh damn.
[floorboards creaking]
[Yo-Yo] It's kind of nice.

[tense music playing]
[Yo-Yo] Damn.
Oh shit.

- [Yo-Yo] Come here.
[Yo-Yo shushing]
There might be somebody in here.

[Yo-Yo] What the fuck is this?
Anybody else getting
a spooky feeling around here?
This nigga's got a break room?
Yeah. Break from what?
Trapping?

I'm going back. Fuck that.
Okay, look.

- [Charles] Come on, come on. Shit!
- Shit! Go! Go!
- [Charles] Go, go, go, go, go!
- [Yo-Yo screaming]
- [Charles] Oh shit!
- Okay. Come on! Come on!
- [Yo-Yo] Go, go, go!
Whoo! We got this bitch!
[car engine backfiring]
[Charles] Fontaine, what you doing?
[all clamoring]
[music swelling]
Fontaine!
[Yo-Yo] This nigga got
the raggediest fucking car!
- What the fuck?
- [Charles] What the fuck?
[music fades]
- Shit!
- [Fontaine] You got five seconds!
[crowd stops]
[all breathing heavily]
[crickets chirping]
[hip-hop music playing in distance]
[Yo-Yo exhaling]
Shit.
[Fontaine] Something made them stop.
Get out the goddamn car.
[car approaching]
[car door closing]
[hip-hop music playing loudly over stereo]
[car door beeping]
[ominous funky music playing]
[car door opening]
[music fades]
[man] A pimp, a ho,
and a drug dealer walk into a bar.
[man chuckling]
So you the nigga in charge?
No. Everybody's got a boss.
Mine's a real hard ass.
You two would really hit it off.
You see, I'm just the guy that guy calls
when there's a mess
that needs to be cleaned up.
You should think of me
more like mall security,
except for a really, really big mall.
Mall security?
Y'all torturing people down there.
We're not torturing anybody.
We're researching,
experimenting, doing science.
And for the greater good, I might add.
Oh, so you Kevin Bacon?
Hollow Man, motherfucker.
Telling lies in America.
America was an experiment.
A half-baked idea cooked up
by aristocratic idealogues
living in mansions built by slaves.
And when they checked out,
they left us with the bill.
A country constantly at war with itself.
No common ground, no dialogue, no peace.
If we're all on the same page,
then we're not ripping
each other's heads off,
and all of this has a chance to work.
And that's what we strive for.
Keeping the United States united.
By cloning pimps and drug dealers?
[man] Everybody's got a part to play.
In order for us
to continue our work down here,
this place has to have a certain flavor,
quality of life,je ne sais quoi.
What the fuck is you talking about, man?
We in a trap.
And you use us to keep it that way.
If we were to pull y'all off the street,
there'd be three Starbucks here
by Tuesday,
and there goes our control setting.
So, yeah. We use you
to keep the place, well, undisturbed.
Lets us experiment
on the good people here in peace.
So the only reason I exist
is to keep the place fucked up?
Oh, Fontaine.
Don't go glass half-empty on me, now.
You're a goddamn patriot.
As far as I'm concerned,
you're Captain America.
So, what now?
Is that a trick question?
No, ma'am. We've got a choice to make.
And the way I see it,
you've only got two options.
Option one, Chester here kills you.
Option two, you do nothing.
You go back to your regular lives.
Do what you do best. Look the other way.
I gotta say
option two sounds pretty fantastic.
What do you think, Chester?
Chester agrees.
A real Sophie's Choice moment.
Yeah, I've seen that one.
So,
what's it gonna be?
- Option three, mother...
- Olympia Black.
[ominous music playing]
[man chuckling]
- [man] Olympia Black.
- 'Taine?
[man] I say those words
and you do what I tell you.
I know it's unpleasant having no control.
- [Yo-Yo] Slick? Slick, Slick, Slick.
- [man] Feeling powerless.
We all take autonomy for granted.
But I really need you
to understand your position here.
We own you.
That gold chain around your neck,
that sweet, fine grill,
that .45 in your hand.
He ain't the only one
with a gun, motherfucker.
[tense music swelling]
Unfreeze him, or I put a bullet
through your fucking teeth.
Fontaine.
[Yo-Yo yelling] Fuck! [yelping]
Fontaine, point that gun at Yo-Yo.
- [Yo-Yo] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [Fontaine straining]
[train horn blaring]
'Taine, no. No.
[suspenseful music playing]
You know what my friend Chester, Fontaine,
and Slick Charles all have in common?
They're expensive.
You? A dime a dozen.
Just a regular ol' ho.
Don't let him do this shit to you.
Doesn't seem like it's getting through.
Fontaine, put that gun in your mouth!
[Yo-Yo] No, no, no, no.
Fucking stop this shit!
Fontaine, pull the hammer back!
[Yo-Yo yelling]
[Yo-Yo] Shit. Don't you hurt him!
Fontaine, say your prayers!
Is it starting to sink in yet?
Are you getting it?
You got no cards to play!
The only reason you are not dead
is because
I'm not the one calling the shots.
[Yo-Yo whimpering, groaning]
[Yo-Yo] Fontaine!
Relax.
[Fontaine and Charles grunting]
[train horn blaring]
- Good talk.
- [Fontaine] What the fuck?
In the end,
I knew you'd make the right decision.
Chester, let's get out of here.
Grab a cheeseburger. I'm starving.
[Fontaine panting]
[Yo-Yo] Oh fuck.
[Fontaine] Come on. Come on.
- [car engine starting]
- [hip-hop music playing]
You good?
Fontaine?
[all breathing heavily]

[Fontaine] What you doing?
[Yo-Yo] So I went by the church
this morning. Key card ain't work.
They must have flagged it.
Don't know about them other places,
I'm guessing there's...
[Fontaine] Yo-Yo.
- We have to find another way in.
- [Fontaine] Yo-Yo!
What? What's up? What's up?
I'm done.
Done? What?
[Yo-Yo] No. Yo, they can hear...
I said
I'm done. All right?
What the fuck is you talking about,
"done"?
We need to leave that shit alone.
Yo, this shit is bigger than you.
It's bigger than me.
- It's your fucking home.
- Who gives a fuck?
This ain't no fucking community.
This place a bunch of broke-ass niggas
with nowhere else to go.
Okay. Now, that's that's a lot.
- There are some good people.
- Who?
The jays?
What, the gangbangers?
Niggas that pay you to suck they dick?
Ain't no good here.
[Yo-Yo] Hmm.
It's 'cause of me.
I'm a dope boy, 'member?
It's who I am.
So I'mma go right back to doing me.
- That's your fucking excuse?
- Excuse?
I was made in a tube.
I ain't even real.
I ain't have no say in this shit.
What about you? What's your excuse, huh?
I seen the trophies in your room.
What you trying to do? Be a doctor?
- A detective? A fucking scientist?
- Okay.
Or was this your plan
the whole entire time?
What the fuck you want me to say?
Yeah. I wanted to be in New York
chasing down leads for the fucking Times
or fucking in the Caribbean, scuba diving,
looking for lost treasure and shit,
but I'm here.
Yep. Right up the street
from the house I grew up in.
Right up the street from all the same shit
I have always wanted to get away from.
Stuck in the same fucking trap as you.
Nigga, I'm scared too. I am.
But we gotta do something.
I ain't scared.
I'm cool with it.
Maybe the next Fontaine
won't be such a fucking pussy.
Yeah. Maybe he won't.
You know where the door is.
[somber funky music playing]
Felonies
Might have committed felonies
- [man] Lightweight!
- Who's to know, 'cause my memories
Ain't too sharp like my enemies
They've told me
Sleepy eyes
I heard that we got intertwined
- Mainly see I have no ID
- [indistinct chatter]
Maybe I did, but then again
Can't 'member shit past 11:30
What I don't know won't hurt me
A pack of Rillos and a scratch-off.
If I did something real bad, I'm sorry
Life of the fucking party
Have a good one.

Man, what what you crying for?
Get on somewhere, Junebug.
[Junebug sighing]
You still owe me15 dollars.
You know, one time,
SpongeBob and Patrick got so sad,
they started crying all over each other,
and they fell to the floor,
water sprayed out of their eyes like
[Junebug chuckling]
It was funny.
They're all like "Wah! Wah!"
[hip-hop music playing over stereo]

All right, girl.
Do your thing. Do your thing.
Baby, hold on.
Baby, here I come.
[Charles] If you looking for the bitches,

They had a, um, some kind of Pilates class
or something they doing, you know.
[exhales sharply] I let 'em

[Fontaine sighing]
Anyway
Pimping ain't like it used to be, nohow.
[Charles slurping, sighing]
[Charles scoffing]
But you should've seen the furs.
[whispering] Should've seen the furs.
I was a whole motherfucking polar bear.
Down to the claws, nigga.
And underneath, merlot leather.
Them hos was dying of thirst.
[Charles smacking lips]
I never won the Players Ball, did I?
- [Charles inhales]

- Oh, fuck you, Slick Charles.
- [Charles] Fuck you!
- Uh, nigga.
No. I didn't mean that. Reflex.
- Let me talk to you for a second.
- Hell, no.
Your ass went AWOL on me for about a week.
[Charles] What the fuck you talking
about, AWOL? You bring your ass here.
Baby, listen. I was dealing
with some existential circumstances now.
- What the fuck is that?
- You know you my Lady Godiva.
Don't make me shoot you out here.
If you make me sweat in this coat,
I swear I'll...
[Biddy] Nigga, what you want?
Listen. Look. We're just trying
to find out where Yo-Yo is. That's all.
- [Biddy] Nigga.
- Biddy, Biddy, Biddy. Listen, listen.
We work in a spirit of cooperation. Okay?
Uh, we're on a quest.
You give us the information we need,
and we'll electric slide.
Come on, Biddy. Please.
I mean, the bitch been scarce.
I figured she was
waiting out the clap or some shit.
But maybe I seen't her. Maybe I ain't.
You know where my money at.
[indistinct chatter in background]
She was here a few hours ago.
Brown trench coat and some shades.
Oh, she was looking like
some freaky roleplay shit,
and it was working for her too.
Then she dipped off
with one of them johns.
Maybe a rapper or a ballplayer, Isurmise.
Wait. Why you say that?
[tense music playing]
[man] "They come and go through
strategically placed egress points
hidden in various neighborhood loci."
Yo-Yo, this is really good.
I mean, "loci"?
Way to use your Latin. [chuckling]
You got diagrams, reference articles
[pages flipping]
[man] Shit. There's even a map.
Pulitzer Prize-winning stuff.
And I completely understand
why you wanted to go to the Post.
But you have got to tell me,
do you really think
that you figured it all out?
You don't even know
about the grand finale.
Except you won't be around to see it.
Fuck you.
[man] Been tinkering
with one of our existing products.
Just a little more potent now,
but a little touch-and-go still.
So, you might experience
some side effects.
So try not to lose your mind, okay?
[Charles] Fontaine, hold on.
Fontaine, you can't do this.
Fontaine! Come on, man. Mm-mm, mm-mm.
- They got Yo-Yo, man. They got Yo-Yo.

I know.
But what you gonna do, huh?
You gonna fee-fi-fo-fum it, and and

What we gonna do, man?
What we gonna do?
- We gonna do what Yo-Yo would do.
- Nigga...
Come on. Come on.
We gonna put our motherfucking heads
together. That's what we gonna do.
- What you got in mind?
- That's what we gonna do.
We can't just go down there
and ring the doorbell
'cause they got an army down there.
Got an army, huh?
What you thinking, nigga?
You ain't gonna like it.
- [hip-hop music playing]
- [dog barking]
[Isaac scoffing]
So you're trying to tell me
there's a bunch of Bill Nye
the Science Guy looking motherfuckers
underneath me right now?
Experimenting on Black folk,
cloning niggas that look like you
so they can control our mind?
Pretty much.
And you need my help to stop 'em?
[Isaac scoffing]
Well, obviously the answer is no.
[Fontaine] But it's our home, man.
Mamas, grandmamas, kids,
they gotta live here too.
And we make things bad for 'em.
But right now, we're all they got.
What kind of stupid-ass shit...?
[Isaac chuckling]
What the fuck

[men laughing]
You fucked up coming here, my nigga.
[gun firing]
[man] Damn, nigga.
[indistinct chatter]
[Isaac] Fuck this nigga up.
[funky ominous music playing]
- [man] So, no salt, no pepper, nothing?
- [man 2] Nope.
Just the natural flavors of the chicken.
Boiling it really brings it out.
Huh.
I just got a Crock-Pot.
I'll try that when I get home.
Right on, brother.
Anyhoo, here we are.
[funky music playing]
[computer beeping]
[computer] Decanting A-0-0-1.
[Fontaine gasping]
[man] Don't worry, big guy.
You'll feel like your old self in no time.

[Fontaine panicking, breathing heavily]
[indistinct chatter]
[funky music playing]
[knocking]
Mama, you hungry?
[Frog muttering indistinctly]
[grunting, sniffing]
Got that new-car smell, youngblood.
[Fontaine] There you go.
[Biddy] Fontaine.

- What do you mean what I want?
- What you want?
- Nothing.
Well, now, hold on, hot chocolate.
We just negotiating.

- This is the art of the deal.
You can have it your way, baby...
- Doze off! Doze off!
- [Fontaine grunting]
Doze off! Doze off!
There you go.
[tape ripping]
[Biddy] Shit!
He's gonna wake up, he gonna kill us.
Ooh, ooh. He's waking up.
[Fontaine grunting, struggling]
I I I'm so sorry, Fontaine.
Personally, I would never,
but, you know, a girl needs
a little coin in her purse.
- And with the recent cold...
- Listen, player. Just sit tight, okay?
This is time for reflection
and silent self-discovery.
[Fontaine grunting, yelling]
- [Charles] Get the blinds.
- [Biddy] Oh.
[funky music playing]
[grunting]
[Fontaine groaning, breathing heavily]
[Fontaine grunting, panting]
What you thinking, nigga?
You ain't gonna like it.
You ever play dead?
These bitch-ass niggas think
they got it all figured out,
but they forgot
I'm a stone-cold pimp goddammit.
I pull tricks for a living.
We gonna beat 'em at they own game.
But first things first,
we need somebody to shoot your Black ass.
Tell Isaac we need to talk, aight?
Make it happen.
And fuck you!
- [Isaac] Hold the fuck up.
- [man] Shit, man.
Fontaine come up on you,
hit you in your shit,
give you $1,000
saying he wanna talk to me?
Man, that's what the nigga said, bruh.
[Fontaine] They got eyes everywhere,
though.
And you know they gonna be watching us.
[Charles] Let them. [chuckling]
Ain't no easier mark than a sucka who sees
exactly what he expects to see.
Ten racks.
Ten racks.
- And all I got to do is shoot him again?
- That's what he said.
Thirty racks.
Biddy said he said he wants thirty racks.
Thirty?
The nigga shot me for free the last time.
He said fine.
He said "fuck you" but fine.
He told me to tell you one more thing.
You better not miss.
[Charles] Now we got ourselves
an Academy-Award-winning cast.
Bunch of Bill Nye the Science Guy-lookin'
motherfuckers underneath me right now?
You could do better, bro.
So you're trying to tell me
there's a bunch of Bill Nye
the Science Guy-lookin' motherfuckers
underneath me right now?
- That's it. That's it, Denzel.
- That's it?
Training Day or Book of Eli?
- Book of Eli.
- Fuck. Run it again.
[Charles] So it's time to put on a show.
Bill Nye the Science Guy-lookin'
motherfuckers underneath me right now?
[Fontaine] A show?
Nigga, you want me to get shot.
- [Charles] It's only in the shoulder.
- [Fontaine] Man, get the fuck
[Charles] Don't forget now.
They gots to think you dead.
[Fontaine] All right. I got it, I got it.
I'll be dead, okay? I'm dead.
[Charles] After that,
hitch a ride underground,
get comfortable,
and wait till the coast is clear.
Then use that stunning personality
of yours to find a volunteer
I'mma need some directions.
[Charles] and get your new best friend
to escort you to the control room.
[Fontaine] All right.
Piece of cake, right.
So while I'm doing all this,
what the fuck you gonna be doing?
[Charles] Me? [scoffing]
I'm bringing the motherfucking cavalry.
I'll be good
[car engines revving loudly]
I'm good, don't you wanna be good?
You know I tell you I'll be good
So good
Don't you wanna be good to me, baby?
You know I love you
[Charles] Shawty,

[Charles] Excuse me, kind sir.
But if you could point me to the elevator

[Yo-Yo groaning]
[Yo-Yo] Fry in hell. No.

Come on. Hey, hey.
Get your ass up out of here.
There you go.
Put a little pep in your step.
- [gun firing]
- Oh shit!
[tense music playing]
- [whispering] Fuck.
- [man] You know what?
This is my fault.
I should've killed you the first time.
[gun firing]
[man] Hell, I should've killed you
the second time.
[Fontaine groaning]
[man] Yeah, no.
The east wing is compromised,
but our department
has taken minimal losses, sir.
Yes, sir.
Of course.
[receiver clicks]
After all these years
still so strange.
Good to see you, Fontaine.
- Flank around.
- [man] My wife says I'm getting soft.
[mouthing] Come to you?
[man] Hell [chuckling]
[whispering] No, nigga.
Go the fuck around.
[man] A few too many mea culpas
these days.
Me, I try to find
the brighter side of things.
Learning from our mistakes,
well, that's how we grow.
[screaming] Shit.
[man] Maybe when this is over,
I'll have the boys come down
and scrape up some of your cells,
grow me a secretary.
[Yo-Yo] Well, you know what?
I might have
a few complaints to file with HR
about the working conditions
in this bitch.
[man] Speaking of Human Resources,
where are your friends?
Fucking up your shit as we speak.
Well, one problem at a time.
[ominous music playing]
You're
me.
No.
You're me.
One of the many
I've had to create over the years.
So, what, you you working for them?
Let's just call it
a marriage of convenience.
I'm the lead geneticist of this operation.
But but why?
Ronnie.
Ronnie,
is he...
No, no.
He died
just the way you remember.
It's the one thing
I wanted you all to have.
But yes, he is the reason
I made a deal with the devil.
[gun firing]
[man] A lot of paperwork, Yo-Yo.
You know I hate paperwork.
- [Yo-Yo] Fuck paperwork!
- [whispering] Patience.
- [Yo-Yo] I hope you get buried in it!
- Pimp hand raised.
- [man chuckling] Well, that's funny.
- Ready.
[gun clicking]
What the fuck?
[gun firing]
Shit.
[man] You know,
we got operations everywhere.
- Los Angeles, Chicago.
- Fuck.
- [Charles grunting]
- [gun firing]
[man] But I picked the Glen
because it was supposed to be quiet.
Well, here you are causing a racket.
You see, Fontaine,
the the powers that be,
the invisible people above me
who pull the strings,
weren't getting the results they wanted.
Years of experimentation.
Billions of dollars spent,
yet no true peace in America.
Hair products,
songs on the radio, fried chicken.
Clones maintaining the charade.
Short-sighted, waste of resources.
All because they couldn't see
what's so obvious to you and me.
It's not enough to think the same,
we have to be the same.
Nah. You tripping, man.
My work in the Cloning Initiative
helped me track down 378 unique genes
that separate you and your ghettos
from your counterparts
in the suburbs, the barrios
Chinatown.
Once I sequenced them all,
I approached my superiors
with an addendum,
and I'm sure you're aware
of our first test subjects.
In the lab,
the tech,
the manager.
Not complete successes, but they pass.
It's the hair.
It's stubborn.
But we have since perfected the process.
I think niggas might notice
if they wake up one morning
with blond hair and blue eyes.
This won't happen overnight, Fontaine.
It'll happen over generations.
And now we are at the precipice
of our true national rollout.
[ominous music playing]
[eerie vocalizing]
Assimilation is better than annihilation.
[Yo-Yo] Shit.
[man] Come on, Yo-Yo.
How about we wrap this up?
[man grunting]
Shit.
[man] Krav Maga, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
How're you feeling, Slick Charles?
- [Charles groans]
- Hey, motherfucker!
[Fontaine breathing heavily]
You think Ronnie would want this?
[Old Fontaine scoffing]
Don't presume because I gave you
a few memories you know my brother.
You weren't really there that day
when he died.
[man] Come on out, now. Don't be shy.
[gun cocking]
[man] Come on, now.
You see, Fontaine, he was shot.
Violently.
Right here.
[Fontaine groaning]
[Old Fontaine]
Between interior ribs five and six.
Missed the heart.
Pierced the lungs.
That didn't have to be fatal.
They left him there
alone, scared,
laid out on the cold concrete.
Took him 15 minutes to die.
[man] Why don't you toss
that peashooter over to me?
Now!
[gun clatters]
Cute.
You know, when I arrived at the morgue
I just stood over him
for a long time.
I I knew it was him. I just...
They couldn't be bothered
to clean all the blood.
And by that time, it had dried up
crusted black.
So I
found a rag
and I cleaned it myself.
I washed his skin.
I spared you from that memory.
I'mma go back to my fucking track.
You don't gotta worry about me.
We'll get out of your hair.
I never could understand
what you saw in him.
I mean,
I don't want to kick a man when he's down,
but he's an idiot.
Well, I guess you could say
he's got a flair for the dramatic.
He's Slick.
I I know you think
you did something important here today,
but what happened to Ronnie
can never happen again.
So my work will continue all the same.
It must.
We all have a part to play.
I have mine. You had yours.
Wish we could do this forever,
but it's been a really long day.
- You take care...
- And he got style.
[stuttering] Nigga got style.
Slick, I know
I talk a lot of motherfucking shit,
but that's just a manifestation
of my frustration.
I mean, look at this motherfucker.
I can't let you do this.
[Old Fontaine]
Oh, I wish I didn't have to.
[ominous music swelling]
Chester.
Olympia Black.
[Yo-Yo] He look good, don't he?
From the alligators to the furs,
the leather to the gold chains.
And the motherfucking rings.
Olympia Black.
[Fontaine straining] Olympia Black.
I am not a clone.
No.
He is.
- Shoot him.
- [Old Fontaine] Wait...
[Old Fontaine coughing]
Ooh, you was taking
your precious-ass time. Damn.
That Goodwill suit
ain't so bad now, is it?
I was acting, motherfucker.
[funky music playing]
[Fontaine groaning]
[news theme music playing]
Donna Kelley here reporting live
from an absolutely outrageous scene.
I'm here at the Check Cashing Place
where dozens of confused,
mostly naked people have emerged.
911 operators have been inundated
with hundreds...
[reporter 2] What's amazing is how quickly
residents of the Glen have rallied help.
We've got folks out here giving out water,
food, clothes off their own backs.
In fact,
I have some fellows who claim
to have been the center of all the action.
Sir, could you tell us
what the heck is going on?
-[man] A whole lot of gang shit.
- Shit.
You know, boys had to click up,
storm the castle.
-Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
- [men grunting]
To be honest, I really didn't even
used to fwith him like that.
-But now
- He with it now, though.
when we see double, we know it's trouble.
You dig?
We somebig-steppers with weapons.
You know what I'm saying?
Lil baby mama, I love you, girl.
Yeah, that's right.
We had to Deep Throat that s.
Watergate.
Calm down, I got the receipts right here.
They cloning motherfuckers as we speak
in secret laboratories
in Chicago, Illinois,
uh, uh, Detroit, Michigan,
Los Angeles, Califor...
All day, every day, we're on the scene,
trying to figure out what has happened.
I mean, this shit is fucked up!
They're out here cloning niggas.
What the fuck going on in this bitch?
That's right.
That is the prevailing theory.
A large contingent
allegedly disrupted services this morning
at the Greatest Mt. Zion Church
of the Holy Ghost right here behind me.
As you can see
-There he go. 'Taine!
- 'Taine!
- My nigga!
- What up, baby?
- Motherfucker.
- Oh.
Oh shit.
[both grunting]
[Yo-Yo] Ooh, sorry, sorry.
- This the real Fontaine?
- Yeah, man.
They're gonna have a hard time
trying to cover this shit up.
[Yo-Yo] Mm.
Oh, oh. And now's a good a time
as any to tell y'all. I am retired.
Yo-Yo, I think I'm gonna hang
these gator boots up myself.
I can't go back to the Royal
because there's another Fontaine
tied up,
ready to whoop my motherfucking ass.
You know what I was thinking, Fontaine?
I might follow Yo-Yo's lead
and head on down to Memphis, you know?
Maybe they could use a couple of folk
with our specialty skill set.
'Cause you know they ain't stop
with the Glen.
[chuckling] All the more reason.
[Yo-Yo] Mm-hmm.
How about you?
I don't know.
Just a few days old.
I'll probably see the world.
Memphis don't sound bad.
If y'all
- [Yo-Yo] Aww. Y'all wanna come with me!
- [Charles] Come on, Fontaine.
Y'all cool with it?
[funky music playing]
- [man panicking]
- [helicopter whirring]
[DJ] Hello, Los Angeles.
It is your partner Big Boy.
- [DJ 2] Big Boy!
- [Big Boy] Big Boy's neighborhood. Listen.
I know that you feel
a little shady right now, right?
So go ahead, man,
and shyste someone that you love.
Shyste a neighbor.
Shyste somebody that you work with.
We gonna hit you guys off right now
with that brand new Ruckus, "Shysty,"
right here in the neighborhood.
[knocking on door]
Mama, you want something from the store?
[hip-hop song playing]
[woman] No. I'm good.
I'm probably gonna hit
the Voodoo market later.
Hands up, play it down
Where the mind at?
Rob a nigga for the ransom money
Rob a nigga for the ransom money
She is scared, my baby
She got scared of my money
She a stripper, baby
She got dancing money
[trainers shouting]
[song continues]
[man grunting, straining]
Shysty, shysty, shysty, shy
Do what I say
You are enslaved to do what I say
Shysty, shysty, shysty, shy
Do what I say
You are enslaved to do what I say
Shysty
[helicopter blades whirring]
Shysty
[indistinct shouting]
Well, get up
Hey, man, let me get some of that.
Thank you.
[song continues indistinctly]
[reporter on TV] We are hearing
it's an absolute madhouse out there.
Okay, feed's up.
We're gonna go live to the scene
with our eyes and ears on the block,
Billy Flowers. Billy.
That's right. I'm outside of
J-Bo's Pawn Shop here in the city
[man coughing]
[reporter] on the corner
of Jonesboro and Claire
with what can only be described as clones.
Hold on. Ma'am, please, a word.
[woman] Uh
[reporter] You, sir.
Where did you come from?
[scoffing]
[reporter] We're gonna keep moving.
Let's go this way. Um, sir!
Sir.
[clone grunting]
Sir.
What's your name?
I have never seen
anything like this before.
Hold up.
[reporter] Once again, clones,
here outside of J-Bo's Pawn Shop.
Ain't that you, Tyrone?
["Who Cloned Tyrone"
by Erykah Badu playing]
[Erykah] Sisters, how y'all feel?
[women cheering]
Brothers, y'all all right?
[men cheering]
All right.
I'm getting tired of your shit
You don't never buy me nothing
[crowd cheering]
And every time you come around
You got to clone Jim
James, Paul, and Tyrone
[crowd cheering]
See, why can't we
Just be ourselves sometime?
See, you've been tampering
With my mind for a long time
I just want it to be cool and free
Like it used to be, baby
But you don't know how to act
So matter of fact
Them motherfuckers cloned Tyrone
Cloned him
So tell him come on
Help him get your shit
Somebody cloned Tyrone
Cloned him
Tell him I said come on
Now every time we try
To make a little cash
They say no, to turn right around
And flash it for some ass
Oh, whoa
Say hold up, listen, partner
I ain't no cheap thrill
[crowd cheering]
'Cause miss Badu's
Always coming for real
You know the deal, nigga
Every time we go somewhere
They gotta search down in my purse
And scan your waves
And your homeboy waves
And sometimes your cousin's waves
They don't never have to pay
We buy the cars
Hang around in bars
Trying to hang around with stars
Like Badu, I'mma tell you the truth
Got the proof, it's on the news
The motherfuckers cloned Tyrone
[chuckles]
Cloned him
Hell going on
- I don't need this shit
- Come on, come on, come on
Somebody cloned Tyrone
Cloned him
And they tapping our phones
[crowd cheering]
[song ends]
[crowd cheering loudly]
What's happening with you?
It's your boy DJ Cerebral using music
To infiltrate the minds of the people
Coming to you live and direct
From W250 HZ
The bass frequency
We have a very special program prepared
For you all this evening
As we will
Be giving you an exclusive
Listening experience to the what?
Y'all ask us to bring the what?
We brought the what? The ruckus
But before we get started
I wanna make one thing clear
What you're about to hear
Isn't exactly for everybody
Who's it for?
Know this has been specifically chosen
And curated for my niggas, my bitches
And those who are too pure to realize
They have that potential
See, this is for my hos, my hustlers
My schemers, my scammers
The lowlife motherfuckers
Selling work to your gram
This is for my folks
Who searching, but rarely looking
Hypocritical, woke niggas
Who leverage knowledge for pussy
This here is for the rookies
And the vets
In a game, the hall of fame
All the niggas
Who could've been had they learned this
If you listen closely
Encoded under melodic tunes
And tick-tick-tick sonic booms
- You'll realize it's just another
- [music distorts]
Whoa, see I don't know
What the fuck is going on
But somebody needs to fix that
That sounds like
Some technical difficulty
'Cause if I heard right
That sounds like the motherfucking truth
And we all know
That they ain't sponsoring this show
So anyhoo, without further ado
For your entertainment and distraction
To keep you complacent
And counteract the madness
And only seeing value and satisfaction
This is shallow with your bass
Once again, this your man, DJ Cerebral
Coming at you from W-250 HZ
Now you know, there wouldn't be misery
If we ain't love company
Feel free to call us
While you experience this ruckus
And tell us
How I fucked up your perspective
[song fades]
[funky music playing]
[music stops]
