Both Sides of the Fence
1
[LUCILLE] You gone
follow in your in your
brother's footsteps and
become a drug dealer?
I tried y'all way already. I tried it.
That's not for me.
[SINA] Hey, you and
me, we are friends, hey?
- Partner.
- Partner. Partnership.
Get this Colombian
cocksucker out my face.
K-9 owes his Colombian connect 20 mil
and refuses to pay.
- Now get the fuck off me!
- Uhh
[LAMAR] Look what you made me do, huh?
I'ma call you Blackie,
'cause you're black and beautiful.
Told yo' ass Lamar was back.
[CHARLES] Can't do this no more
'cause I wanna make my marriage work.
[MABEL] You can't even
look at me and say goodbye?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
I don't want our family
to be apart ever again.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
[BRYANT] Somebody's hungry.
[MARKISHA] Tee, I'm
grateful for your help,
but you're in no
position to provide for us
when you have obligations of your own.
What the fuck You got a hat
on, nigga? You don't wear no hats.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
♪
They're gone. And they took the drugs.
Fuck!
[OLDER TERRY] Judas played
both sides for some coin.
- [MAN GROANS]
- That was his weakness,
and he regretted what he did.
[MOODY R PLAYS]
♪
Ah ahh!
The fuck Where the fuck am I at?
- Breakfast, motherfucker.
- Where the fuck am I at, man?
Now, have you figured out
where my missing bricks went?
I told you I don't have 'em.
Ha. Say
just so you know,
I'm moving your mama back to
that shitty-ass Herman Kiefer.
I'm also gonna draw
you up on murder charges
for Kato, Jay-Mo, and
bouncing baby B-Mickie.
Fuck you, nigga. You
know I'll fucking kill your ass.
Stop fucking playing with me, man
Okay. Hmm.
[MUFFLED] No, what
[OLDER TERRY] I'm saying
ain't no cop all good
- and no gangster all bad
- [B-MICKIE POUNDING ON TRUNK]
even if that's what they
fucking want you to believe.
[ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS]
♪
[HOOP] Where the fuck is B-Mickie?
How the hell are we
supposed to be a family
if you don't bother to
show up for your own, man?
It don't matter, Hoop.
Look at the turnout, man.
All these people came out
to show love to Sockie, man.
Think about that.
[BLUESY ORGAN AND SINGER IN BACKGROUND]
So I guess B-Missing rides again, huh?
Last time I seen him,
he was wired like a
motherfucking time bomb.
I called him, I went by his house,
and I even sent Sterl
to keep an eye on him.
Meech, you know I could never stand
your little second grade buddy, right?
- Tee, I'm pissed too, a'ight?
- Are you?
Yeah, nigga.
But at the end of the day,
at least he came clean.
Brother Meech, Brother Terry.
[TERRY] What's up, Pastor Swift?
That was a great eulogy today.
Thank you, brother, uh
kinda distraught right now.
Yeah, I know, Pastor.
We've all been saddened
- by Sockie's death trust me.
- Are you?
Because neither one of
you changed your ways.
[MEECH] I hope you didn't forget about
the hefty contribution
that me and my brother
put in to rent out the church.
Brother Meech, I'm speaking to salvation
and redemption for
this community, brother.
Faith with no work is dead.
You know, sooner or later
the both of you gon' have to repent,
or we all shall perish,
so sayeth the Lord.
Man, fuck what he talking about.
Meech, chill.
We been family, Tee, since day one,
and he always been loyal
to us, so you know that.
And don't forget, he handled
that Kato shit with no problem.
And that's what makes him
even more dangerous, Meech.
A lovesick rat who know where
all the bodies are buried.
[MEECH] Man, we have bigger fish to fry.
We need to be worried about putting
Lamar's ass out of
commission for good this time.
And also, we need to
make sure that Rayzin
sets up that meeting
with the Colombians.
Going behind K-9's back
with the help of his
cousin is not a good move.
I'm not waiting for
K-9 to find a new plug
or overpaying once his supply arrives.
We got an opportunity here,
and we need to take
full advantage of it.
[JIN] We are up to
our necks in dog shit.
A'ight, where the fuck is your source?
B-Mickie's in the wind,
along with the two bricks.
Hey, can I talk to you in private.
She's in it too.
They're about to do
inventory in evidence.
If I don't get those drugs
back, it's all of our asses.
Well, we ain't run the
sting operation yet,
but as soon as we do,
we'll get 'em back to you.
What's the last day we can turn 'em in?
I can stall till tomorrow,
but that's about it.
That's fine. That's all we need.
[HEAVY MUSIC PLAYS]
♪
What the fuck are we gonna do?
Pay our respects.
Sockie was all business
and his business was family.
He was ours, and we was his.
I'm lucky to have shared
this earth with him
even for this short amount of time,
and I'll be even luckier when we
get to heaven to see him again.
- Here's to Sockie.
- [VOICES] To Sockie.

- You got something of mine.
- What, your damn dignity?
- Boy, don't play with me.
- Why don't you ask your bitch?
- And I ain't talking about her.
- Brothers, brothers, brothers.
Today is supposed to be about
fellowship and forgiveness.
Can we put our differences to the side
and celebrate our
fallen brother over here,
- especially at this beautiful repast?
- You protecting them?
Actually, brother, I'm
here to bless us all
so that nobody makes a mistake
that they can't take back.
Well, it's a little late for that.

Only way to survive is to see

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]
[BRYANT] Sorry I got you into this.
I made my own decision,
so it's our problem now.
So you better think of something,
'cause I ain't going out like this.
The only other thing
I can think of is
replacing the cocaine
with something else.
Like what? Flour?
A synthetic that doubles as coke.
Maybe a prescription drug
like Benzos or somethin'.
Nobody'll know the difference.
How are we gonna get enough scrips
to cover that spread?
- We need like 2 kilos' worth.
- I know a guy knows a guy.
But it ain't gonna be cheap.
So we gonna have to scratch our pockets.
[WHISPERING] Fuck.
Deeper down the rabbit hole I go.
Just so you know,
I'm only doing this because
I don't wanna lose my job.
So we'll get the synthetic,
hand it to Smitty
Case closed.

[MONIQUE] Stop movin'.
Damn.
Nigga, you coulda knocked or something.
This for you. This for the kids.

And you look a little too young for it.
It's Tina.
And for your information, I'm 16.
