Dealer (2021) s01e05 Episode Script

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[captain] Get him out.
- He had a gun on him, boss.
- Get him out now!
Don't argue.
Come on. Get out. Out!
- [Tony] Stop acting crazy, dude.
- Come on!
- Fucking loser!
- You stop acting fucking crazy.
- [Tony] Come talk to your fucking boy.
- [officer] Shut up, man!
- Shut the fuck up!
- [Tony] Talk to him.
- Stop yelling!
- Get it together, man!
Get the fuck outta here.
Leave me alone with him. Scram!
You need to cool it.
Do you have to yell all the time?
Do you want that kind of spotlight?
They said there's cameras.
What's this bullshit?
- This for some TV show?
- They're not for you.
For who then?
They're just making
a music video for me, don't trip.
Oh, yeah.
That's right, you're a rapper now.
Right.
Been out two weeks,
and I catch you carrying a gun.
You do this on purpose?
Think I have a choice?
Things are crazy here.
You always have a choice.
Okay? I'll give you one right now.
Give me Steve.
[scoffs]
- What are you trying to say, huh?
- Give me Steve.
How long you know me?
I ever ratted on anyone?
- Have I been a rat?
- [shushes] Let me explain.
- Nah, forget it, man.
- That man's evil.
Look at me when I'm talking.
That man is evil.
You know how this is gonna end?
You take him down or he takes you down.
You want 20 years?
You wanna go back in jail?
What do you want? Tell me.
There are two options.
It ends badly, or you give him to me.
- I ain't no snitch.
- It doesn't matter!
Shut up and listen to me.
Make sure it gets in your thick skull.
Okay?
All I want is peace.
I don't want any trouble.
No more shootings, no more gang wars.
With you the neighborhood's quiet,
so we let you work.
That other guy's crazy,
I don't want him here.
- You give me Steve and we're good.
- I don't need you.
I'll handle this on my own.
Since when do I work with cops?
- What are you doing?
- What am I doing?
I'm letting you go.
Keep the peace, or you'll go back in.
Just think about it.
Okay, let's see
what you've got in your bag.
Whoa.
[chuckles]
You're planning quite the party.
And what is that? Oh…
- What are you doing?
- Who, me? Nothing.
You see me do anything?
That's for the cars you guys wrecked.
Here. Take your shitty drugs.
Think it over!
[Tony] I won't.
All right, we're out.
[car engine starts]
[theme music playing]
You're losing, 5-0.
You just got lucky.
I'm about to whoop you.
- Do some footwork.
- Watch the goal. I'm about to beat you.
[cheering on TV]
Speed up, dribble it,
pass it back to him. Oh!
Yeah.
Ah! That was so close.
- Fuck!
- [whistle blows on TV]
Let's go again.
- Franck.
- Hmm?
You play.
[Franck] I'm not very good.
[Tony] Jess.
- Jess.
- [Jess] Yeah?
[Tony] Can we talk?
[mouthing]
I was really scared for Kylian.
I'm serious.
I would have
gone back to prison to save him.
Yeah. He told me, but…
So what?
What's that change?
Nothing.
[clicks tongue]
[Tony] So what do you mean?
[Jess] Tony…
Let's be honest. If the police showed up,
it's because you're selling drugs.
Kylian tells me you saved him.
But saved him from what?
I'm trying my best here.
The record deal will change everything.
I'm gonna focus on rap now.
It'll change, you'll see.
Listen, Tony.
You're out of prison,
I thought that you'd…
that you'd change.
That things would be different.
But it's not.
You're in the same place,
doing the same things.
Listen, I'm glad the label spotted you.
You've got talent.
- I listened to what you've done
- You listened to my music?
Yeah, Kylian showed it to me.
[Tony] Did you like it?
- Yes!
- [Jess] You have talent.
I think it's a shame you're wasting it.
But the way I see it,
you have to make a choice.
What choice? Why?
You can't run your network
and be a famous rapper.
Hey, Yacine!
Hey, come here for a sec.
Hey, Yass.
We're short 3,000. I'll handle it.
Put everyone back to work.
Get 30 kilos of weed
and two kilos of coke.
Don't ask questions.
Do as I say and you'll see.
Leave it to me. I'll let them know.
Zim, back to work.
- [Franck] What's that? A menu?
- [Tony] Oh, yeah. Like a restaurant.
Appetizers, entrees, dessert,
wine and beer, a little drink…
Whoa, your desserts are…
- They round it off nicely.
- Tasty.
[both laugh]
Come on, let's go.
Aren't you worried about being followed?
By the cops?
They don't give a fuck. You saw.
Speaking of cops,
did you know this was on? The camera.
- Seriously?
- Yeah. When they stopped you earlier.
It's all on film.
You could take them down with it.
What are you talking about?
I've got enough problems around here.
You really think
you'll make it big with your music?
- What do you mean?
- I guess I just mean, do you…
Do you think you'll stand out
from the crowd, the competition?
I hope so. But…
I'm not stupid.
I know how it goes in this business.
How many rappers have gone under?
They're on top
and suddenly they're on welfare.
- Yeah. [laughs]
- Huh?
- You know what I mean?
- Yeah.
- You know that.
- Sure.
I've done plenty of videos
for guys who release one track
and that ends up being it.
That's right. But you saw,
I'm taking a real risk doing all this.
I know the deal round here.
This place here is my hood.
I have a network.
We have the cars and the cash.
But out in the rap world…
I'm nothing, man.
[Moussa] Shut up.
You can shut the fuck up.
[Tony] Come with me.
[man] Sorry, man.
- [Moussa] Shut up. Don't say a word.
- I didn't do it. I swear.
- Do this again and I'll do you in. Got it?
- Hey, Mouss!
- Mouss, what's going on, man?
- This fucker wants to screw our clients.
Now you work for free for me today.
Get me?
No coffee, no sandwich, nothing, okay?
You hear me?
- Go on, beat it!
- [Tony] Come, I wanna show you something.
[Moussa] Go on, get lost!
So you're taking a bigger risk
making music than running the hood?
The rap game can't be more dangerous
then everything going on here.
But I know all those risks.
- Come on.
- [button beeps]
- Wait for me.
- [Franck] Take the stairs, Tom.
It's a long way up.
Hey, it's on the tenth floor!
- He's used to it.
- He's gonna sweat.
[both chuckle]
Sometimes I wish
I had a life like yours.
I doubt that.
- Oh, yeah?
- It's rough. I'm struggling.
- It must be cool.
- [Franck laughs]
Shoot all day, go home, sleep easy…
I don't sleep easy. Not always.
- You're rolling in money though.
- No, no. You're dreaming. No way.
I'm struggling. It's tough.
Come on. You're struggling?
Well, they barely pay me
to make music videos, so…
- Really?
- Plus, I wanna do other things.
To make films, to make feature films.
To film things that are interesting.
Stories that I find interesting,
real things.
- Dang. I didn't know it was like that.
- Ah…
- I thought you had it pretty easy.
- Nope.
- Pretty sweet, huh?
- No, it's great. Thanks a lot.
You can get some sick shots from here.
You can see the whole hood.
Are those your guys? What are they doing?
Wait a minute.
Pain in the ass.
- Hello, Zim, Zim, Zim.
- Yeah, Tony.
Talk to the fucking lookout,
tell him to get off his phone.
This has to stop.
- Nobody's looking at their phone.
- I see him from here!
Don't give me that bullshit!
This shit has to stop or we all get caught
and you'll be working for free.
I don't care. You feel me?
Okay, Tony, don't worry.
I'll deal with it.
Don't worry.
[Franck] And so, what is all this?
This is the drive-through.
They're all working.
Customers go through there, pull up,
and don't have to get out of the car.
[Franck] Okay. Just like
like McDonalds, right?
[Tony laughs] Right.
You hear them shout out 5-0 this morning?
That was the lookouts.
They warn the dealers if the cops show up.
Then you have the dealers,
the dealers are sellers.
He's the re-up.
He's the one who supplies the weed.
Then the dealer goes back to the client.
I set up everything around here, man.
We track the streets,
block the entry points
so the cops can't get in.
- And the seller has time to dip.
- Right.
[Tony] With all the merchandise,
so at least we don't lose as much.
[Franck] It's really well organized.
Anyway, that's all.
I wanna do something else now. That's it.
I'm tired, man.
I don't want to do it anymore.
I've had enough.
But you know how all that goes.
Once you're this deep in the game,
it's hard.
[exhales]
We just can't get out.
It's not easy.
I never thought I could work with a label.
But now that I know it's possible,
I could…
I could still rap,
I don't want to miss that chance, man.
And when you get 20 years in jail…
well, there just ain't no rap.
So basically what you're telling me
is that before, you never imagined…
that you had a chance to do anything else?
I never even thought about it,
didn't even know how to get it out there.
No one had ever…
I'm not sure it was in my reality…
I hadn't even thought about it.
I was busy, I was here running this place.
You know?
Then, uh, there's my boy, Moussa.
I need to talk to him.
I'm worried he might think
this is all there is to life.
It's like he believes the world ends here.
He's gotta understand that I…
I've got the chance to move on and…
I gotta take it and live my life now.
[Franck]
If you wanted to do something else…
If he's your brother, if he's been
your friend since you've been kids,
why wouldn't he want that for you?
That's what I don't get.
They won't care, they need me here.
They won't understand.
But if it wasn't for rap,
I'd already have blown Steve's head off.
Hey, what I'm telling you
stays between you and me, okay?
Don't worry, I won't quit like a coward
and leave the hood at war
and just walk out. No.
I'll talk to Steve,
I'll make peace with him.
That way nobody dies.
That way things will be good.
Earlier you heard
what my sister was saying,
and she's right.
I'm gonna quit and stop all this.
