It's all over the news.
It's fucking crazy.
FRANKLIN: You still ain't heard from him? Well, he said he knew a place he could go.
You know.
That he'd be in touch, but I didn't want to know where he was, you know, in case the cops came asking me? Think it's time your friends went home.
(SIREN WHOOPING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (GARBLED RADIO TRANSMISSION) (LOUD, OVERLAPPING, INDISTINCT CHATTER) (DISTANT SIREN WAILING) Found this in the oldest boy's sock drawer, but that's it so far.

Remember the first time you came here? You got homesick, had to call your moms - to come pick you up? - (LAUGHS SOFTLY) It's 'cause your house smelled weird.
It's called food.
Your house smelled like ass.
(LAUGHS) Full of porn stars and shit.
(BOTH LAUGH) Come on, man.
Hey, the minute you hear from Thad, page me, all right? I got to ask.
How much does he know? You know, about who we really work for? No, he doesn't know anything about that.
Yeah, 'cause, you know, there's a lot at stake these days.
Can't risk somebody flipping on us and blowing this shit up.
You hear me? It's my problem.
Mm.
I won't let it hurt you or anybody else.
Get some sleep.
Talk later.
All right? Niggas die by the handful every day and nobody give a fuck, but one white boy gets shot in the valley and the whole city loses they mind? Look, as soon as Thad reaches out, then Rob will know where he's at, and then we'll go do what has to be done, all right? - Well, how Rob doing? - (FRANKLIN SIGHS) Not so good.
Rob's been using.
Cocaine, freebasing, too, from the looks.
Oh, this shit just get better and better.
Can't have no smokers running around here - with our names in his mouth, nephew.
- Look, I know.
And as soon as we deal with this shit with Thad, I'm gonna get Rob out the game.
- Get him cleaned up.
- You think Rob down with that? - He ain't got no choice.
- Well, Rob being out means less product being moved, less likely Grady is to cut that price, and I need the price cut, Franklin.
Inglewood is already threatening to go straight - to the Colombians.
- Look, I'm gonna straighten this shit out with Rob, then I'm gonna deal with that, and then we can talk about the motherfucking prices.
The fuck you looking at, nigga? WANDA: That's right, baby.
Don't be shy.
Tell mama what you want me to do with that big cock.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) You want me to slap it? Uh, okay, baby.
I'll slap the shit out of that dick.
You want me to stomp on your balls? For real? All right, bitch, I'll crack those motherfucking nuts if that's what you want.
Wait, hold on, baby.
Hold on make it last, baby.
Hell hello? I tried to keep him on the line, but these niggas - come on ready to blow.
- Course they do.
That's why they're calling.
It's your job to tease them out, keep them on the line.
You know, you got to hold the cream - To make the green.

So, uh, I know you can do it.

Somebody want to tell me what the fuck is going on? PEACHES: Franklin said he'd be back later.
So I need you to keep an eye on him for a few hours till he get back.
What do you mean, "keep an eye on him"? I got to stay up all night and make sure that fool don't try and run? It mean do whatever needs doing to keep him here.
I got to go.
(DOOR OPENS) You used to be that fool.
(ROB COUGHING, SNIFFLING) (KNOCKING ON DOORFRAME) You need anything? (COUGHS) How long've you been staying here? Maybe six months or so.
Don't nobody want to rent to a former basehead, so Leon asked Franklin if he would help me out.
I remember Being where you are.
I know it hurts, but you can get through it.
And then, once you're on the other side of this, you get to live.

You know what she said? "Fuck that guy"? (CHUCKLES) "He's too good-looking to be a cop.
" (MUMBLES): All right.
Like it's a party (SNORTS) Hey, where Big Rome at? He didn't want to come say hi? He can, if you want him to.

I asked around about your man in the valley.
Narc guys say they don't have anyone named Volpe - on their radar.
- Appreciate you doing that.
Yeah? - How much? - That a real question? (SNORTS) I raided a house today.
44th and normandie.
Ci said it was a rock house.
Turns out, some lady and her kids live there.
Whoops.
I mean, I go into the station these days, I got gray-haired dudes, veins popping out they necks, screaming about numbers.

Feels like we got something good going on here.
And I want it to continue.
You want that? Me looking out for you, gracing you and your girls with my, um, what'd she say, uh, "too good-looking to be a cop" visage? - That depends.
- On what? What it is you're getting ready to ask me for.
Celebrate each day I need something to give to my bosses.
Get them off my back, you know? Little red meat.
I ain't no snitch, beau.
Ain't nobody said shit about no snitching.
This is about self-preservation.
I can't help you unless you help me.
So unless you want to go back to not having my protection, I suggest you find somebody to serve up.
Watch me dance Watch me dance You can send Chelle over here now.
(CLEARS THROAT) Whoa, watch me dance I'm a disco child, born to dance (PANTING) (SNIFFS, SIGHS) FRANKLIN: Good morning.
Made you coffee.
I don't drink coffee.
(SCOFFS) Well, maybe you should start.
What were you gonna do? Just go wander in the streets? Looking for any random corner boy? I heard from Thad.
I know where he is.
I just needed something to Even me out before I go out there.
- Out where, Rob? - Palm springs.
Where some family friend of theirs has a place, it sits empty in the summer.
I said I'd take care of this and I will, you know? Just You just give me a car and a gun.
No, I'm not letting you go out there alone.
Peaches will go with you.
Thad's freaked out, man.
He's, like, paranoid.
If Peaches shows up with me, he'll know something's off.
And if he doesn't, I got to worry about you getting high and fucking it all up.
Now where does that leave us, huh? I mean, you could come with us.
You know, Thad knows you.
It'll relax him.
He'll think we're coming to help.
(EXHALES) Call Thad.
Tell him we're coming out there to get him.
I'll get Peaches to get you some cocaine, straighten you out, huh? We'll all go out there to the desert, make sure this shit don't come back to bite us.
Then after, we come back here, I'll fly you to some fancy fucking rehab place, and you promise me that you gonna get sober and stay that way, all right? Oh, yeah, that sounds fucking perfect, man.
Thanks.
(ROB CHUCKLES) I mean it, Rob.
Promise me.
Yeah.
Yeah, I promise.
(SNORTS) So I heard this story last week.
(SNORTS) The cops, one weekend on the freeway from L.
A.
To vegans, they put out a sign that says, "One mile ahead, all cars are being stopped and searched.
" so all these people, partying on the drive to vegans, they see this, get freaked out, start to panic.
Then they see there's an exit a half-mile ahead.
So the cars with drugs and stuff in them, they start getting off at the exit, you know? (CHUCKLES) To try and get around the search? Want to guess what happened? They all got away.
Bring it out, let's hit the dough Cops set up the real search at the bottom of the off-ramp.
Everybody who has something to hide came straight to them.
Yep.
And it wasn't cops, it was the fucking sea.
PEACHES: Goddamn.
Like a nigga ain't got enough to be worried about already.

- Take no more - Fired up - I'm tired of being poor - I'm fired up.
PEACHES: Yep.
You ever shot one before? My dad had one.
We used to take it and drive out to the antelope valley, shoot at cans.
The safety's on the side.
(SAFETY CLICKS) ROB: I wonder if we'll be able to see Halley's comet out here tonight.
PEACHES: What? Halley's comet? It circles earth once every, like, 75 years or something.
And right now, it's as close as it's gonna be until we're, like you know, 150 years old.
FRANKLIN: Come on, let's keep moving.

- I can't.
I can't.
- Come on.
(THAD PANTING) THAD: Oh, fuck.
Rob, don't.
No, no, no.
Rob.
Please, please.
Rob, no, no, no.
No.
Please, please, Rob.
Don't.
Please, don't.
Don't.
Rob, please.
No, please.
Please.
Rob, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Please, please, Rob.
Don't (DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE) (INSECTS TRILLING) PEACHES: Right here.
Hey.
You did good.
Shit couldn't have gone down any other way.
One last night, right? Got to make it count.
(ROB INHALING) (ROB COUGHING) (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) (SIGHS) Hey, beautiful.
It's almost 11:00.
(GRUNTS) Yeah, late night.
(EXHALES) do I want to know? No.
Probably not.
Well, now I need to.
(FRANKLIN GRUNTS) It's just a friend of mine I went to high school with, got into some trouble, needed a little help.
It's all good.
You okay? (SIGHS) What ring's that? VERONIQUE: It's my first stone.
Azurite.
I bought it when I decided I didn't want my mom's energy around anymore, but I didn't quite know how to tell her.
Why do I feel like you about to hit me with some bad news? Mm.
It's not bad.
Listen, I know you didn't bust your ass, make it all the way through law school, just to be some housewife.
Some things will change.
Everything will change if we have this baby, Franklin.
Yes, I know.
But you can still have the life that you want.
I believe you.
I do.
I love you, Franklin.
Even though having this child is nowhere in my five year plan.
(LAUGHS) I know this baby will be amazing.
That a higher power put this in our lives for a reason.
But I need you to hear me.
I will not accept a life that does not support this child in every way.
- And your other life - Is ending.
- Soon.
- (WHISPERS): Okay.
Come here.
90% of how I spend my time now is being in real estate with you.
Grady's on our side, in legit business with us.
He ain't gonna want anything bad to happen to us.
Hmm.
But until then, you can't control it.
Neither can I.
I have to accept that.
Make my peace with it.
And I have.
I need you to swear to me that until the day comes you can walk away, you will do everything you have to do to make sure our baby, this family, is safe and protected.
(ROB GRUNTING, PANTING) Wish we could find that comet.
It's got to be out here somewhere.
What it look like? I think it's, like, a bright spot - with a tail behind it.
- A tail? Think I read it was supposed to be in the southern sky.
That way.
Oh, wow.
I think I see it.
(LAUGHS) FRANKLIN: Yeah? Where? It's right there.
See? Just behind that FRANKLIN: I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
Promise.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) FRANKLIN: Spotted it during my flight on Saturday.
I want to build us a compound.
A place for us to start our legacy.
But I need to know I have your loyalty, V.
(SIGHS) Baby, of course.
I'm serious.
You know, people I loved told me they had my back and then stabbed me in it.
But you see, the thing is, all those people today, they're all gone.
What you had, that predates me.
What you need from me now, that's yours.
Some people think they jive me But I know they must be crazy Don't see they misfortune? Guess they just too lazy Je suis the grand zombie My yellow belt of choison ain't afraid of no tomcat Fill my brains with poison Walk through the fire Fly through the smoke See my enemy at the end of they rope Walk on pins and needles See what they can do Walk on gilded splinters with the king of the zulu Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters Kon
