(static buzzing)

(ominous music)

[Malik] I'm tripping off this shit, right,

because like how you see "Boyz n the Hood"

and not "Menace II Society?"

Like how does that kinda shit even happen?

[Alexis] I mean she is only 15.

Shit, I'm surprised she even seen that one.

[Malik] I'm not, and you know what?

We need to watch it as soon as she get home.

All as a family.

(light music)

I mean if you watched one, definitely watch the other one.

No, what do we really remember about "Boys n the Hood?"

Let's recollect, shall we?

"Ricky!"

That's what you remember.

Him getting shot in the back

because he ran in the straight line.

Everybody know you supposed to zigzag.

You got to bob and weave, Ricky.

There are plenty of quotable lines.

Alright, well quote me one. (clears throat)

-You ready? -Yep.

"Any fool with a dick could make a baby,

but only a real man could raise his children."

Womp.

That sounded like a deep ass Instagram video.

That's the sermon.

See, that shit got way too deep.

I'm talking about like the one-liners, like the zingers.

The nobody ever gonna forget this.

-Okay then, Mr. Zinger. -Mm-hm.

Gimme that quota with "Menace II Society."

Oh, I thought you'd never asked.

(clearing throat) (Malik laughing)

No, what do you say though?

What the fuck you mean

you ain't got my mother fucking money?

(Alexis exhaling)

"You need to be coming up on my cash or else."

Right?

Or, "I feel sorry for your mother."

"What you say about my mama?" (Malik laughing)

Remember when he hit the hood and was like,

"I got the tape."

That shit was crazy.

No, no, no, no, no.

This the one though.

The big one-liner.

"You know you fucked up, right?

[Both] You know you up."

Exactly.

You gotta work on the one-liners, babe.

You gotta work on them shits.

See if we do that in public, you know.

-If I do that in New Orleans. -The hood, time out.

Time out.

You don't say New Orleans.

No, no, I got you, I got you.

It's New Orleans.

It got the ah, ah, ah, New Orleans.

-New Orleans. -It's New Orleans.

-Orleans. -Orleans.

I got an appointment at eight o'clock.

Okay, I need time to clean up, shower after, you know.

Um, sorry, no.

Look, just check the ledger.

Okay, tell me which room's free, okay?

The ledger.

Oh, the ledger.

Yeah, he told me all about that,

but he told me not to touch anything until he gets back.

Listen, I come here twice a week.

I don't think the boss wants to lose my business

'cause some broad don't wanna off her pimp,

even if she does look good.

Now go check the ledger.

Come on.

Let him in, let him in.

You know what?

How 'bout you come look over that ledger yourself.

All right.

(door slamming) (intense music)

Look, I'm not looking for trouble.

I just... You just came to fuck.

I know.

But let me ask you something.

Before you pull your fucking dick out, do you ever step back

to ask yourself if this young girl who you loving on

might have a mom and a dad

who like might come looking for her?

Or is she just fucking doped up and outta her mind?

Or are you just trying to see how quick you can get a nut?

Don't start fucking crying.

Sorry.

Maybe you could think better without this.

(man whimpering)

This nigga pissin' on hisself?

Man, watch out, man.

Sit the fuck down.

You gonna kill me?

You can't kill me, I got kids, a wife, they need me.

Mother fucker, if you tell me one of your kids is a girl,

I'm gonna bust a cap in your ass.

Do you need me to clean

the fucking wax outta of your ears?

Okay, okay, okay, look, I have a little daughter, nine.

I've been married for 15 years.

Okay, my wife stopped having sex with me

and I work 60 hours a week.

And the kids, they have things to do four days a week.

I love them.

I'm there.

I show up for everything.

I provide.

I'm present.

And when I found this place, it was just no questions.

I mean, I just show up, they put me on the ledger

and I go to a room and it's done.

And... Stop, stop.

Go back.

To what part?

The part about the ledger.

And they look at the ledger

and they see who's available, they write my name down

and based on how much I pay, I get a gold,

silver, or a bronze card.

I take the card up to the room, give it to the girl

and then have fun. -Fun?

I, you know, I complete the transaction and that's it.

I think they give the card and that's how they get paid.

So, what's this ledger look like?

It's an account ledger.

It's over there.

So where's the line?

(dramatic music)

I got the numbers and the initials,

but I don't see a TC anywhere.

Come on, man, they wouldn't use real names.

(dramatic music)

Can I see?

Oh, yours is for today.

The times are the logs of the visits.

Shit, a couple girls are busy right now.

They got these girls turning tricks every two hours.

Better hope your dick don't fall off, buddy.

Malik, we need you.

We can't do this without you.

We in this together. (intense music)

Come on, sit down. (dramatic music)

(velcro ripping)

My name's Aretha.

Everybody calls me Rere.

(Malik gasping)

Malik.

That's Alexis.

That's Tiana.

Mm-hm, I seen her around.

So you knew?

Your little girl?

Just keep this on it.

[Man] Where'd they go?

All right. I've done my good deed for the day.

Soon as she wakes up, y'all can find your way up outta here.

Thank you.

Go on now with all that,

just can't stand to see nobody hurt.

Always been my problem.

Oh, see?

Sleeping Beauty's ready to go.

King?

No, Tiana, it's daddy, you safe.

No, no, no, no, no.

Sh.

Baby we got you.

Where's King?

He's gonna kill me?

No wait, nobody's gonna do anything to you baby.

Daddy got you. -I didn't ask

you to come here. -Tiana, we're not

gonna wait for you to start drowning to dive in.

Okay?

[Tiana] Why would you do this to me?

Do what, Tiana, we are here to help you.

We just wanna bring you home, baby girl.

Help?

Home?

I didn't ask for your help.

I hate that you had me.

I wish you all were dead.

Tiana, you don't mean that, okay?

I do.

I mean every word.

I'm leaving.

You not going nowhere.

Sit yo ass down.

Get the fuck away from me, bitch.

-Sit the fuck down. -Hey!

Hey ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, please.

I don't see what she been through.

You don't disrespect your parents in my house.

First of all, this little shitty place is not a house.

I'd be careful throwing the parent word out.

That's enough, Tiana, with your little spoiled

-Shut. -Ungrate

Ooh?

Sit the fuck down!

Sit the fuck down.

Lex, calm down.

We risk our lives trying to save her

and she act like we did her wrong?

What about that pimp that fucked you?

Forced you to fuck for money,

gave your body to, your essence to?

Grown ass men who don't fucking deserve it.

And you in our face like we fucked up?

Fuck you and your fake righteousness.

Fuck you! (hand slapping)

-I hate you. -And I hate you too.

You little tramp.

Both of y'all shut the fuck up.

Enough of this.

Okay, stop hitting her.

And you, you are a child.

Why are you acting like your life is just so terrible?

Like we don't love you.

But would you love me knowing it all?

Tiana, what are you talking about?

Knowing all of what, love?

Stop being stupid, Tiana.

What if I've been lying?

Every time I called you daddy?

What is she talking about, Lex?

What is she talking about?

Little tramp, huh?

Maybe the apple never left the tree.

Listen, listen to me.

You can be mad.

You can be mad at us.

You can be mad at me.

But you don't have to say things

to intentionally try to hurt me.

Okay?

You're taking it too far.

If it's true, it's true.

She didn't deny it, did she?

(dramatic music)

So, you not gonna deny it?

(dramatic music)

Oh shit.

This ain't the fucking time to be quiet, Alexis.

Say something.

What the fuck is happening?

(dramatic music)

You want me to come?

Tell the truth?

Alexis!

You're the only fucking father she knows!

(dramatic music)

When you were getting locked up,

I went out, I got drunk before the weekend of your trial.

And, and... And what?

And I met some guy and I met some guy.

And he offered to help and he took me home.

You fucked him?

And you knew this whole time?

He took advantage of me!

And then you took advantage of me!

What the, man?

How did she know before I did?

He found us.

He told her.

.It's not her fault.

I made her swear not to tell you.

She didn't even accept him.

You're the only father she knows and loves.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Malik, please.

We can talk about this.

Please Malik, let's talk about it.

Don't do this, please.

Let's just go home. (dramatic music)

Can you keep 'em here till the morning?

(dramatic music)

Just 'til the sun comes up, please.

Go ahead. (dramatic music)

Then why'd he leave me?

I was four, I had nobody.

You had me.

I had me.

Only me, you were never there.

Tiana, you wanted to eat, I had to provide the food.

You wanted lights, I had to pay the utilities.

You wanted Jordans on your feet.

Shit, I had to be like Mike and I had to work.

I did everything I could do for you.

And when I was pregnant I didn't work.

But when your father... Malik.

He's not my dad.

When your father, Malik, got arrested.

.And that judge told me that he was gonna do 10 years,

I panicked in that courtroom.

I fell to the ground and Malik tried to help me,

but they dragged him away screaming.

Mom, you were never there.

Ever.

I didn't know how to be a mom alone.

Told me he was gone for work

and then vacation and then work.

I was four, not stupid.

And all I felt was that he hated me.

That he didn't love me, that I wasn't good enough.

You know what, I didn't have the love

a girl should have him her dad, but I don't need that now.

King has my heart and he's taking care of it.

[Aretha] Is that the love you're talking

about dripping down your arm?

Thousand to one you ain't do that yourself.

Man, we gotta get you outta here young blood.

What the fuck happened to your face?

Man, don't worry about my face.

We gotta get you outta here.

Fuck that.

I'm working on whoever did this shit.

No man, you should be up in Julliard somewhere.

And I told you this place is bad for business,

but you don't listen.

Let me get you up outta this shit.

Get you straight.

(King scoffing) -Get me straight.

Nigga, I'm my daddy's son.

He was a god and I'm a king.

Youngster... Nigga, you listen to me.

Don't forget who put you down in this game.

Now your pops has been going a long time

and it has been me.

So, don't be talking stupid.

Talking stupid.

Wanna know what's stupid?

Old ass mother fuckers like you,

thinking they still run shit.

Yo time been gone uh.

Baby booming ass nigga, this my day, my way.

.And my way is making sure all them mother fuckers

get put in the dirt so nobody fuck with me again.

And if you got a problem with that,

I put you in the dirt with 'em.

You know how your pop's my life.

So, I put my word on God that I would look after you.

But I swear if he saw your bitch ass right now,

he'd have no problem pulling your wig.

(fist punching)

Say it again.

I said, your dad

Hold it.

You have mistook me giving you room to grow

with me being obsolete.

I've been in the game longer than you've been outta diapers.

So, raise your hand like that to me again

and this old man's gonna snap that mother fucker.

I raised it.

Now let me go.

So that's how you wanna play this, huh?

Ball game, nigga?

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

You strapped?

Always.

(gun cocking) Let's end this shit.

(gun beating) (Malik grunting)

(man coughing)

Jesus, please forgive me.

Think about all the little girls you fucked up

when you asking God to forgive you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, choke on it.

Choke on it. (man choking)

You should move so I can leave.

You will not be going anywhere till the morning

like your father said.

That's fine.

I'll go home tomorrow, I'll be back.

Back where?

To what?

Huh?

A man that chokes you?

Huh?

What happened to you that makes you think

that you're worth so little?

Nothing about me is little.

I'm the bottom bitch, so there.

Tiana, you're not a bitch.

You're a queen.

You're strong, you're beautiful, you smart.

You were top in your class T.

(dramatic music)

You don't know what you're talking about.

-I know, I know very well. -Bullshit.

(dramatic music)

Your grandpa was a mean drunk.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

He loves me.

He raped you, Tiana.

I wanted anything we did.

You were 15.

It wasn't about that at all.

It was... He made you feel seen.

He took you to get your hair done, your nails done,

told you you were special.

When you first met him,

you told him all about the life you want,

the house you wanted, the wedding you want.

Told him that your parents

never told you they were proud of you.

And he told you he loved you so much.

He heard you.

He listened.

He lured you.

Then you start to feel like you can't survive without him.

He started giving you everything you ever wanted.

Like this is the best your life has ever been.

And no one's gonna love you like he has.

Too good to be true.

-Yes. -And then he starts

to give you the life you want.

Poof, gone.

Dreams, poof, gone.

Now you confused.

You don't know what you did wrong.

Afraid to piss him off.

Afraid not to get that love

because he's done so much for you, right?

Yes.

And then he asked you to do things.

Sex with him and a friend.

Then he takes you to get your hair done.

Then two friends.

Then he takes you to get your nails done.

Then sex with a girl.

Then he gives you cash and tells you how good you are.

Told you your family didn't love you,

kept you away from him..

She didn't even text me.

I did.

Did he have the code of your phone?

Child, he went in there and he erased those messages.

Made you think that nobody cared about you except him.

He was conditioning you, child.

And then after that, I bet you he told you

he has this crazy idea.

You know that life you want, that house, that wedding,

you can have all that, big bread stacks.

That's what y'all call it, right?

Just one thing.

You have to give your body to men for those stacks.

Just do it for a few months

and no matter what, he'll love you.

Right?

And then after you were with someone for him,

he told you?

He was proud of me.

And then he took it away,

made you eager to do it again

so that he was proud of you again.

He was manipulating you.

And you know what, it's not her fault.

He took everything she told him in the beginning

and used it against her

and she ain't even see it coming.

How do you even know all of this?

Because I was her.

She.

.Is me.

(dramatic music)

For a long time I used to watch my dad beat my mom.

Not me or my sisters, but my mom.

So, I left. (light music)

And my stranger found me living in an alley.

He picked me up.

.Took me in.

.Got me high.

And ever since then I've been under the fog of crack

and a pimp that I thought I loved.

One day he placed the gun in my mouth.

.Asked me if I wanted to die.

I just shrugged.

I thought finally this pain,

this life would be over.

But he was chicken shit and didn't do it.

So, I left and I never went back.

I've been sober five years, 255 days.

And every day is a struggle.

But when I think about the children I've lost.

.The years I gave away, I call my sponsor

(dramatic music)

Because I refuse to go back.

I'm never going back.

So, when I saw y'all running down the hall,

I knew I had to help.

(dramatic music)

You are somebody.

You are the best that God has created.

And no matter what you do,

He will love you. (Tiana crying)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(intense music)

I told you how this was gonna end.

Tried to give you an out.

Oh, you must be that nigga.

You say nigga, it's just like saying I'm

some ordinary cat there on the street.

I'm a king.

I'm a God.

One of my sheep went astray.

I think you know where she is.

Her name is Tiana.

And she don't belong to you.

Nah, her name Crimson and I bought

and paid you for that bitch cash.

I need you to tell me where the fuck my property is.

See, I'm gonna just assume

that you ain't got no fucking kids

because if you did, you would know the best way

to test your little mortality

is to fuck with a man's baby girl

because something happens to a man

when a baby comes into this world,

when you look into they eyes for the first time

and in that moment, in the microseconds, you realize

that you the one, you the protector

and you supposed to protect them at all costs

at all times of the day.

No matter if they one, 10, or 50 years old

until I take my last breath

and you, you violated my baby girl.

So, I guess it's time to see if you a king or if you a god

or you just a bitch ass nigga with a nice coat.

(King laughing)

Funny.

She told me all about her mama and what they did to you.

She ain't even yours nigga.

Well you know, any fool with a dick can make a baby.

.But it take a real man to raise his kids.

(King laughing)

This nigga just quote "Boyz n the Hood."

Nigga, this ain't 1992.

You don't get no second take.

If I kill you, you don't get no do over.

I need you to think real carefully about

what you wanna do right now.

What good you gonna do if you dead?

Who gonna kill me?

The skinny ass nigga with the drum major coat on?

Who ain't never put in no work?

And you, you a OG.

You got this man running around here like he a king,

bowing down to him and shit.

He wouldn't last a minute in New Orleans.

You come down there, we'll eat you.

So, if this is where I'm supposed to be scared of,

this is the part where I'm supposed to be afraid?

I'm not.

You talk some big shit

with your homemade S.W.A.T uniform on there.

You fittin' to be putting a pine box, you know that?

You know, I admire you.

It's been a real long day for you.

You know, King, you want me to shoot this mother fucker?

Nah, he tough.

I'm gonna show him what tough is.

You know what I think y'all failing to realize

is I done walked through y'all whole little fucking crew

and I'm still standing.

I'm still here.

So, if you want this smoke.

(velcro ripping)

No man.

Take your mother fucking hands off me, nigga.

(dramatic music)

(intense music)

Gimme a gun.

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

This how you gonna play it?

All that woofing over something that ain't even yours.

Something to die for?

Gonna make her taste your blood when I fuck her tonight.

(King spitting)

I've got you wishin' you would've just gave me Tiana.

(dramatic music)

Come in here judging me, thinking you know me and shit.

I know you fuck up little girls.

And for what?

Some money?

(King laughing)

(dramatic music)

When you learn to love how you were loved, my nigga.

(dramatic music)

Let's go.

I got shit to do.

(dramatic music)

(intense music)

(Malik yelling) (punch smacking)

(dramatic music)

-No, please. -No, no, no.

(dramatic music)

Kill this mother fucker.

(dramatic music)

(intense music)

You are the son of a God.

You wanna be king?

(intense music)

If you want the crown, you have to kill for it yourself.

(dramatic music)

Okay.

(intense music)

Listen, I came for one thing and one thing only.

.And she's standing right there.

(dramatic music)

And I'm sorry for whatever happened to you

that made you the way that you are.

But I'm just trying to protect my little girl.

She ain't even fucking yours, nigga.

(dramatic music)

Yes she is.

No matter what.

No matter what some test say, right?
