Even though
I had nothin' to do

it still happened.
I appreciate that.
But I'm sure you didn't come
all the way down here to
shower me with apologies.
No, I didn't.

of a community,
is it churches? Barbershops?
It's funeral homes.
Cash business there, Jack.
That's a market
that ain't goin' nowhere,

Great space
for a smart businessman
to diversify.
And besides, those caskets,

exactly want being detected.
Oh, like conk-head niggas
with bullets in their heads?

Oh, thank you.
The, uh,
proprietor of this
funeral home enterprise,
- is he local?
- Mmm-hmm.
Entrenched in the community?
Better than that.
He was grandfathered in
last decade's zoning laws,
which means
any property that he buys,
he don't have to
tell the state.
Get the fuck outta here.
I got my fingers
in all kinds of pies.
You know, I heard
that exact same line
from some little hustler
around here.
No. See,
what you heard was talk.
I got the fuckin' recipe.
Hmm.
So, you the pig
that threatened my ex?
No, you the threat
to Charmaine
and that little girl.
You leave my
fuckin' family out of this.
Hey, easy!
But they ain't yours
to protect no more.
Charmaine remarried,
got that good job.
But she can't seem to get
the stink of you off of her.
But you help us out
with this thing,
and I'll make sure
none of this touches them.
You done already
dug yourself a deep hole.
Ain't no sense
in makin' it any deeper.
How you feelin', killer?
[SIGHS] Great!

So you are.
Where's your man?
He's outside,
seein' the girls off.
Look it's too late for me,
but Ray, he just a kid.
All he needs
is a second chance.
You let him go,
I'll give you what you want.
No, ain't no way
I'm letting him go.
He can't just
walk away from that.
You can take your chances
with them killers
that's comin' in.
Listen, listen,
the boy is a minor, right?
- That's right.
- I'mma do everything
in my power
to make sure that
he's tried as a juvenile.
He'll get out when he's 18.
He can still make
something of his life.
Look, I give you
my word on it.
Yeah, I can dig it.
[GUN COCKING]
All right.
So, come clean. Who hired ya?
Emerson Dorsey.
Emerson? The man
from the photo?
That's who I took
the party from.
But he just the middle man.

You can ask him yourself.
He on his way.

would we trust him?
'Cause we in

Ray and Black,
I can see it now, man.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
[SNIFFLES AND SIGHS]
Which one of them you like?
Honey.
- Honey.
- [GIRLS LAUGHING]
You think she sweet on me?
You want her to be?
Mmm.
[CHUCKLES] Watch this.
HONEY: Stop.
WILLIE: [WHISPERING]
Listen, Honey baby. I want you
to take care of him, okay?
Show him a good time.
Be gentle now.
How 'bout we go get us a room?
Come on. [CHUCKLES]
WILLIE: Don't be scared
of it now, Ray.
Ain't nothin' but
a little bit of water.
[LAUGHING]
I'mma come back for you, baby.
I'mma come back for you.
Yeah, all right.
[SNIFFLES]
This ain't smart, Black.
Emerson said he's on his way.
[CHUCKLES]
We got time, man,
we got time.
- The hell you think you doin'?
- [SIGHS]
We all got bags to hold on.
Little man left his,
I'm gon' take it to him.
[CHUCKLES]
Loosen up, Mac.
Go get you some of that ass
on your lap, nigga.
Say, girl.
Let me show you somethin'.
You ever seen
heaven before, mama, hmm?
As long as you can
make these legs open
like heaven's gates.
WILLIE: Oh,
they gon' open, baby.
And you gon' sing for me.
[WOMEN LAUGHING]
Thirsty?
Were you drafted or volunteer?
How'd you know
I was in the military?
[CHUCKLES]
It ain't hard to tell.
[SIGHS]
You ever save a life?
You know, most folks just ask
if I ever took one.
I ain't most folks.
I see.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Yeah, I saved
a brother's life before.
Pulled that man
out the line of fire.
Did you get some kinda medal?
[CHUCKLES]
This is America, darlin'.
There ain't no medals
for savin' niggas.
I could tell you was a hero
the minute I saw you.
Yeah, well, I ain't no hero.
Yes, you is.
You look out for people.
So, why don't you let me
look out for you, huh?
[SIGHS]
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[GASPS]
[CHUCKLES]
[MOANING]
- [TABLE POUNDING]
- [KIKI MOANING]
KIKI: Take me to heaven.
[MOANING CONTINUES]
Ooh! Yes!
So was I any good?
- Yeah.
- [KIKI MOANING LOUDLY]
Is this supposed
to be like them?
[SMACKS LIPS]
You were sweet.
Sexy.
Uh, have you
ever been up north?
Oh, I ain't never been.
Movin' out that way.
Gots this job lined up
with Willie.
Been doin'
some big things together.
You know, if you ever
find yourself out that way,
I could take you around.
You wanna take me on a date?
[CHUCKLES] I don't know.
Yeah.
Do you have, like,
a telephone number
I could hold onto?
That's cute.
[LAUGHING]
[CHUCKLES]
[ENGINE STARTS]
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
HUDSON: McKinley Rogers.
Me and you need to have
a little confab.
[SOUL MUSIC PLAYING
OVER STEREO]
VIVIAN: All those lights, hmm.
All those people.
And all that potential.
But I'm sure you know that.
I'm sorry, I hope
I'm not interruptin'.
Uh, no worries.
- Hmm.
- I could use the company.
Join me.
Sure.
[CHUCKLES]
Ma'am, can I get you
a cocktail?
You know, I usually go
for somethin' sweet,
but after the day I had,
I think I'mma
switch my groove up,
you dig? [CHUCKLES]
Cognac? Cognac,
please. Thanks.
So, what kinda day
did you have?
Uh, runnin' around
cleanin' up messes
I didn't make.
Some I did.
[CHUCKLES]
I wanna thank you
for what you did for me
back at the salon.
I don't have
many men lookin' out for me.
And I also wanna
apologize to you
for what happened
at the party.
Even though
I had nothin' to do
with that shit,
it still happened.
I appreciate that.
But I'm sure you didn't come
all the way down here to
shower me with apologies.
No, I didn't.
The cornerstone
of a community,
is it churches? Barbershops?
It's funeral homes.
Cash business there, Jack.
That's a market
that ain't goin' nowhere,
- cause niggas gon' die.
- Hmm.
Great space
for a smart businessman
to diversify.
And besides, those caskets,
you know,
you can move some things
that you don't
exactly want being detected.
Oh, like conk-head niggas
with bullets in their heads?
[ULULATING]
[BOTH LAUGH]
Oh, thank you.
The, uh,
proprietor of this
funeral home enterprise,
- is he local?
- Mmm-hmm.
Entrenched in the community?
Better than that.
He was grandfathered in
last decade's zoning laws,
which means
any property that he buys,
he don't have to
tell the state.
Get the fuck outta here.
I got my fingers
in all kinds of pies.
You know, I heard
that exact same line
from some little hustler
around here.
No. See,
what you heard was talk.
I got the fuckin' recipe.
Hmm.
So, you the pig
that threatened my ex?
No, you the threat
to Charmaine
and that little girl.
You leave my
fuckin' family out of this.
Hey, easy!
But they ain't yours
to protect no more.
Charmaine remarried,
got that good job.
But she can't seem to get
the stink of you off of her.
But you help us out
with this thing,
and I'll make sure
none of this touches them.
You done already
dug yourself a deep hole.
Ain't no sense
in makin' it any deeper.
How you feelin', killer?
[SIGHS] Great!
[LAUGHS]
So you are.
Where's your man?
He's outside,
seein' the girls off.
Look it's too late for me,
but Ray, he just a kid.
All he needs
is a second chance.
You let him go,
I'll give you what you want.
No, ain't no way
I'm letting him go.
He can't just
walk away from that.
You can take your chances
with them killers
that's comin' in.
Listen, listen,
the boy is a minor, right?
- That's right.
- I'mma do everything
in my power
to make sure that
he's tried as a juvenile.
He'll get out when he's 18.
He can still make
something of his life.
Look, I give you
my word on it.
Yeah, I can dig it.
[GUN COCKING]
All right.
So, come clean. Who hired ya?
Emerson Dorsey.
Emerson? The man
from the photo?
That's who I took
the party from.
But he just the middle man.
- A middle man for who?
- I don't know.
You can ask him yourself.
He on his way.
Uh, look, you're gonna need
my help with Emerson.
'Cause he mean with a pistol.
And the third man
Willie Black,
that motherfucker's
a walkin' virus.
All right.
You get that boy on our side,
we'll apprehend Willie Black.
Then we wait
and get Emerson, too.
Now, why in hell
would we trust him?
'Cause we in
the shit, Chicken.
We ain't got no other choice.
Ain't that right, soldier?
- That's right.
- [VEHICLE APPROACHING]
Shit, he's here.
[HORN HONKS]
WILLIE: Why don't you
go over there
and get a fire goin'?
Get some warmth
up in here, hmm?
- Get in my van.
- Shit!
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
[HORN HONKING]
EMERSON: Get rid of the kid.
[SNIFFLES]
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
Aw, shit!
Where you goin', kid?
I left my bag
of loot upstairs.
Come on, man, you gotta
keep that shit with you
at all times. Go get it.
Payday, soldier.
Passed a car full of broads
on my way in.
How's your man, Willie Black?
McKINLEY: You got
a problem with it,
you can take it up with him.
Oh, that motherfucker would.
Oh, shit!
You know a lot about
that motherfucker, don't you?
All of you ain't been
tellin' me shit.
Still keepin' me in the dark.
Soon as I robbed them killers,
I was a dead man.
Mac, they don't even
know about you, brother.
Bullshit!
All of my people is dead.
You think we should
make our move now?
McKINLEY: Frank Moten
ain't gonna just
let me get away.
Well, see that's the thing.
You ain't got to worry
about Frank.
- That's being handled,
you dig?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- By who?
The same motherfucker
you been takin' orders from?
Come on, man [SCOFFS]
You still gonna
keep me in the dark?
[SCOFFS]
I asked you
a question, soldier.
Name is Cadillac Richie.
- [MOUTHING] Cadillac?
- EMERSON: He movin' on Frank.
It's been a long time comin'.
Listen, I saved you, man.
Pulled you out that jungle.
Kept you from getting your
fuckin' head blown off, man.
This is how you repay me?
Hey, brother, I know
you don't expect me
to apologize
for putting 20 large
in your pocket.
Fuck that shit, man!
Mmm, come on, man,
this is me tryin' to
square things with you.
Make it right.
We're cursed, man.
We cursed for what we done.
[SIGHS] Any trouble
come our way, we earned it.
Fence will be here soon.
You got my money, soldier?
I asked you a question.
Yeah. Yeah, I got your money.
Let's all bring it out here
and count it,
put it in your trunk.
Brother, I'm tired of
takin' care of your shit.
Well, all right then,
lead the way.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[SNIFFLES]
Heard you had a good time.
Don't nothing pass the time
like some ass
and a little bit of sugar.
[SUCKS TEETH]
Goddamn!
[BLOWS]
Well, that's
quite the haul, soldier.
I see why y'all
wanted more bread.
Yeah, it's not nearly enough
for what we lost.
Yeah. Well, you know
how it go, Mac.
Times, a few soldiers
gotta get sacrificed
for the greater victory.
What'd you say?
Fuck wrong with you?
Take care of them loose ends?
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Yeah, about that
Shit went left.
Fuck you mean?
Uh, loose ends?
Fuck y'all talkin' about
with these loose ends?
Nothin' for you to
worry about, Mac.
Is Baby Ray a loose end?
Am I a loose end?
What the hell you
talkin' about, Mac?
Whoa, whoa!
What the fuck, Mac?
Y'all motherfuckers
been thick as thieves
this whole goddamn time.
- Mac
- Shut the fuck up, nigga!
Hey, Mac,
listen to me, all right.
Yeah, we took
a couple of casualties,
but there's a whole
shitload of cash for us
to split over there.
So, why don't we all
just calm the fuck down!
All right, McKinley,
stand down.
I knew you was a snake
from the first time I laid
my eyes on you.
Says the baby killer
with the medals to prove it.
Fuck you, man.
Prison ain't
good enough for you.
Prison? Ain't nobody
going to fuckin' prison, man.
Both of y'all,
put them guns down.
[GUN FIRES]
Ray
EMERSON: Mac!
Goddamn it!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
- [GASPING]
- Fuck. Mac.
[GASPING]
Mac.
I thought he was
gonna shoot you.
Mac?
[EMERSON MUTTERS]
What's that sayin' about
honor amongst thieves?
How the fuck should I know?
Exactly.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SPITS]
Atlanta PD. Drop the weapon.
Do it.
Fuck!
Oh, shit!
[GROANING]
Anything happens
to me, call it in.
Where you goin? Hudson.
Goddamn it! Shit!
[GROANS AND PANTS]
Fuck! [GRUNTS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[GRUNTING]
Fuck it! Fuck it!
Fuck it! Fuck it!
[YELLS]
[WILLIE GASPS]
[PANTING]
You wanna keep
doin' this shit?
You're the one shot.
It's not even your money.
It ain't yours either.
Give it up.
Fuck that.
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING AND GRUNTING]
[GROANING]
[GRUNTING]
Stop! Stop!
- [GUN CLICKS]
- Oh, fuck!
[YELLING]
Argh!
[PANTS] Man,

We the police, nigga!
Ain't no Bitch,
show me your fuckin' badge!
Oh! Shit!
- [GRUNTS]
- [SCREAMS]
- All right,
all right, all right.
- That's for Vivian.
Who the fuck is Vivian?
So, what do we do now?
We stick to the plan.
Cadillac.
CADILLAC RICHIE:
You know how much
I love Nonna's baked ziti.
Tell her to save me a plate
and I'll see y'all
when I'm done with this
Harlem problem.
Bye.
Hey, Goose, you got
somethin' for me?
Yes, sir, boss.
LEOLA: I hear my beautiful boy
is headed South again.
CADILLAC RICHIE: A day down
in that godforsaken,
country-ass, backward town
is an eternity, Mama.
Hey, Ruck.
Let my mama see
what you got there.
You see anything you like?
The white one.
El blanco, por favor.
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
Don't nobody touch my mama.
[CHUCKLES]
This is beautiful. Mmm!
When I get back
from the South,
I'm gonna bring you
a nice, big, four-carat
diamond necklace.
You just do
what needs to be done
and get your ass
back to civilization.
Oh, it's gettin' done.
I got Frank in a whirlpool
of craziness right now,
and by the time I'm done,
he ain't gonna know
that I had a hand in it.
[KISSES]
Humiliation ain't enough.
Your daddy, Big Richie,
used to stay awake nights,
plottin', plannin',
dreamin' of givin' Frank
what he had comin'.
That day never came.
So, I had to
stand by and watch
that stripe-headed snake
undermine your father,
bring him down
from a king to a middleman,
just like
what he doing to you.
Your daddy
wasn't strong enough
to make the right decision,
but you, my boy,
this is your time.
I want that.
I want all of that,
for you, for us,
for Big Richie.
At the appropriate time,
I shall crush that snake.
That's my boy!
[KISSES]
You honor
your father's legacy.
And put that two-faced,
licorice-chewin' motherfucker
where he belong.
Yes, ma'am.
