Previously, on The Family Business.

Who is she and where did she come from?

Tie her up.

Sorry to say, Miss Duncan, he didn't make it.

It's a body bag.

Alejandro's alive.

I was told there were bodies everywhere.

Yeah, just not the Duncans.

Orlando thought he made it very clear that he was ready to go to war for his

family, and that is not something to be taken lightly.

I suppose you want to talk to Snow.

She's dead.

Just let it get one of me. Shut down all production of heat. I don't want a

joint to have a pill delivered until we have Sasha back. My name is Brother

Samuel. If Brother Elijah doesn't get what we need soon, you're going to have

deal with me.

Yeah.

It's all ready.

And our wardrobe keep us fly. We know you like.

Hey. We know you like it. Yeah.

We always winning and that's no lie.

You really wish you had our life. We know you like.

Hey. We know you like it. It's the best.

Ashes to ashes, duct to duct.

Be blessed, my brother.

Sorry to bury you like this, bro.

But if we would have given you the burial that you deserve, it would have

us sit in ducts for the people that did this to you.

I promise you, you're going to find them.

Payback is a motherfucker.

Everything.

Shut down and locked up.

Now.

I promise you we gonna find these motherfuckers.

And it's for you.

Ladies and gentlemen, this lab is officially closed.

You can't shut it down.

The only one who can shut it down is... Me.

Sorry for the inconvenience, folks, but we're shutting down this lab temporarily

for maintenance.

Hopefully we'll have it up and running in the next week and a half or so.

But until then, this gentleman on my left will provide you with enough cash

you and your families.

Until we can get you back to work.

Please, help yourselves.

So, oh, aren't you concerned that these people might try and duplicate the

product?

Nah.

We got six of these labs across the tri -state area. This is just the finishing

facility. We keep all the labs separated for a reason. You can't complete the

procedure to making heat without all the six chemical components.

It's the only pot, Harris, me, and now you know where those labs and holding

facilities are. So, welcome to the big league, little bro.

Brilliant.

That's talking things very well.

Father would be happy.

Our investment in tech is paying off.

Mr. Lee, Mr. Duncan told me to personally hand deliver this to you.

Is this some kind of joke?

Mr. Duncan doesn't joke.

No, he does not.

Tell him we will see him tomorrow.

Sorry about yesterday.

Windows was closed.

What is this?

Your wings.

You had them make them exactly like your ass with the coconut oil.

even though the owner of the place looked at me a little strange.

They always do that.

You know this is my favorite, right?

You're nice.

I'm not always nice.

And I'd really hate for you to have to see that other side of me.

But I'm getting a lot of pressure from Brother Xavier and Samuel.

to become more physical with you.

If you don't tell us what we want to know soon, things could get a little

Have a seat.

Not hungry?

You're going to love it.

You're going to love it.

It's good.

Yeah. Good.

Told you.

Maybe you want to slap your mom.

What's the story with you and Brother Xavier?

How long have you been following him?

When I was 17, I walked into a corner store.

I was getting a soda and some chips.

I was celebrating because I just found out that I received an academic

scholarship to FAMU down in Florida.

That's a good school.

Great school.

As I stepped out of the store...

The cops were conducting a drug raid on the block.

Should have seen it.

Everybody was running.

Everybody. Everybody except me.

I didn't think I had to run. I didn't do anything wrong.

I don't sell drugs.

I was just coming home from school.

Oh, my God.

They arrested you, didn't they?

Yeah. They arrested me and charged me with every bag that drug boys dropped.

Well, didn't you have a lawyer?

Yeah, yeah, I had a legal aide.

A guy that convinced my mama to convince me to take a plea and do a three

-year bid for a crime I did not commit.

It's because of that incident that I met Brother Xavier.

He saved my life.

Literally.

While I was in prison, he stopped five guys from trying to rape me.

Introduced me to the Brotherhood.

Taught me how to be a man.

Because of that, I will be eternally grateful and loyal to him.

I get it now.

What's this?

You tell your boss I warned him about this.

Papa.

DJ.

Senor Cruz.

Faithful, faithful DJ.

Must be important that Duncan send you all the way to Mexico.

What's going on?

Family business.

What is this?

I don't know.

I was told to hand deliver it to you.

Wait for your response.

Papa, what is it?

The Duncans have cut off all of our shipments.

They request my presence in New York City.

Who are they to demand anything from us?

Good morning.

Good morning. I thought that you might want

something different.

So I brought... Eggs

and turkey bacon.

My personal favorite.

Okay.

I also thought you might enjoy this.

You seem uneasy.

I have a lot on my mind.

Brother Samuel?

Why would you ask that?

He came by last night to introduce himself.

He said that if I didn't start talking to you, he would handle me himself.

Is it true?

Is he taking over my care?

It is being debated, yes.

And what does that mean for me?

Brother Samuel isn't pleased with the way I've been handling you.

He believes you should be punished until you tell us what we need to know.

What do you need to know?

Tell me your name, Sasha, and why you are here.

I told you my name, Elijah. My name is Sasha.

I'm a journalist. I'm doing a story on Brother X and his escape from prison.

I've told you, I don't believe you.

Neither do the brothers.

Now tell me your last name.

And what news outlet do you work for? I need to confirm what you're saying. I

work for various organizations.

Okay? And I can't tell you my last name. You know that that would put my family

in jeopardy. Why?

Why are you making this so difficult?

But what you're doing, you're making an article into a book.

And I have a name for it already. Inside the Brotherhood.

An expose.

You want to know what it would mean if Brother Samuel took over

your care?

I'll tell you.

Brother Xavier has placed his faith in me. But that faith is dwindling.

Fast. The longer it takes for me to get the information from you that we need,

the more he becomes of the same mindset as Brother Samuel.

And I promise you, it is not going to be good for you.

You sound scared of him.

No, I'm not. But you should be.

Brother Samuel is not like other Muslims. I am not talking about Brother

I'm talking about Brother Xavier.

You're afraid of them, aren't you?

I think we all should be.

How did you stop?

Now who the fuck might you be?

Not important

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Is it for real?

They can't fucking do this to me.

It's already done.

Get the big ass back here.

Shit.

Hey, Ma, Pop.

What's up, O?

We are shut down and locked down.

Heat is officially off the market.

Yeah, the natives are definitely getting restless, that's for sure.

I got folks from all over the country just blowing my phone up, trying to find

out when they can re -up their supply.

In fact, the only major player we haven't heard from at this point is

At all?

No, not a peep.

He's probably pissed about us canceling his order.

You want me to give him a call, maybe smooth things out?

No. He should be at the meeting this afternoon.

We'll take his temperature then.

Bernie will fall in the line. He needs the product as much as anyone, if not

more. Okay, guys, enough with this heat shit.

Have you heard anything about Sasha?

No.

I just hope she's still alive.

She's alive. I know it.

Have you heard back from Brother Minister?

I passed on the message just the way you asked.

He should be there along with everybody else at the meeting.

Good.

Now you gentlemen go stir the pot while...

Mama Chippy cooks the damn goose.

Right.

Welcome.

I want to thank you all for...

Coming, especially you, Senior Cruz. I know just how far you've traveled.

Hey, it's family business. I would have walked if I could have.

I see we're all here.

Everyone except Bernie.

Bernie's of no fucking concern to me.

All I want to know is when the fuck you going to let us read up?

I'm sorry, I can't answer that, Mr. Basham.

Right now, my family has a big problem.

And we have no plans to produce heat in the foreseeable future until that

problem has been eradicated. What the fuck do you mean, foreseeable future?

I keep telling y 'all I got a business to run. I need more heat. You better sit

your punk ass down before I sit you down.

It's okay, son.

We're all a little frustrated.

But as a fellow member of the table, Sebastian, I think you...

At least want to hear me out, know what our problem is.

I could give a shit.

Calm it.

If I roll over there and put my trademarks on your face.

This big problem you now have is now my big problem. We are family.

So, por favor, please, tell us.

What is this big problem that weighs heavy?

On your familia, I'll take care of myself.

But perhaps we can all help you.

We're at war.

With a group calling itself the Brotherhood.

Wait a minute.

Are you talking about the black Muslims run by Brother Minister?

The teacher? Is that who you're talking about?

No. It's a splinter group.

They're radical.

You may have heard of their leader, Brother X.

He was just in the news for escaping prison.

We know of him. We use his service.

His people are excellent killers.

But I don't understand.

Xavier and his men are very honorable.

Maybe in the past, but this is more personal than it is business.

You think we're stupid?

I'd say it's personal when a man fucks another man's wife.

Wouldn't you?

What are we missing here, Sebastian?

What they're not telling you is that his son, Junior, has been having an affair

with the wife of the leader of the Brotherhood.

By their interpretation of Islamic law, I believe that's punishable by death.

Listen up, everybody.

We tried to resolve this amicably.

But X and his followers made an attempt.

on my mother's and my father's lives while we were under the agreement of a

truce set by Brother Minister himself.

And on top of that, they have my cousin Sasha and are holding her for prisoner

now.

If you want to call that honorable, so be it.

But until the situation is rectified,

Not a drop, not a pill of heat is going to be produced by the Duncan family,

period. Let me go again.

Rolando has a point.

Nobody should be making an attempt on Mr.

and Mrs. Duncan's life on our watch.

Don, my drink, por favor.

A toast to family business.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Sebastian.

You're leaving so soon, you got a problem?

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

So you Neanderthals want to wipe each other out, so be it.

But I got options.

Y 'all don't.

Family business.

Family business.

I've shut this lab down. What are you doing here?

I'm leaving.

I'm just grabbing the last of my beans.

I guess that's it.

Listen, I know this was unexpected and inconvenient, but I promise you, it's

only temporary.

And you will be compensated above and beyond what you've already been given.

Orlando, it's not about the money.

I don't work here for the pay.

I graduated top ten in my class at John Hopkins.

You already know that.

I could make more money elsewhere.

I enjoy working here because I love working with someone who's just as

passionate about this shit as I am.

Creating something scientifically that makes people feel good.

There's something about taking the most basic ingredients and formulating them

together exactly the right way until you develop something.

Magical.

Chemistry.

Chemistry.

I agree with you.

But like I said before, my family and I frown upon fraternization between

and with employees.

Turns out I was just forlowed.

Remember?

Technically.

I'm no longer the Floyd.

Mr. Duncan.

You ever visit him?

Of course.

I've been expecting him.

You guys give us a second.

Yes, sir.

Well, I had a feeling you'd come see me when I heard you were in town. Don't

patronize me, Rio.

Your brother's an ass.

And so are you.

You knew they were shutting down Heat?

I just found out last night.

And you're not the only one.

We shut everyone down.

I am not everyone.

At least I thought I wasn't.

Why didn't you tell me?

I did. I called you. You didn't answer.

That motherfucking brother of yours is putting pressure on my whole operation.

Not to mention my contacts in Europe.

You talk to your daddy about me yet?

Because I'm going to need him to step in on this shit.

No, now is not the time to talk to him or Orlando about anything drug related.

Fucking killing me, Rio.

You know that? Fucking killing me.

I thought you said I didn't have anything to worry about.

I thought you said you got me.

I do got you.

Don't worry. Just trust me.

Holy shit.

This for me?

Yeah.

Told you, I got you.

But don't tell anybody about this.

Keep it from the low.

Because if my family finds out I'm doing this, they'll kill me.

Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with me.

Besides... I'm worth it, pretty

boy.

All right, my beauties. We have about an hour to get ready before the lunch

crowd. And you know it's Friday.

Going to be a lot of excited men walking through those doors. So let's get

ready. OK? Let's get dressed.

You are never going to guess who's come to visit.

Don't you tell me Michael Diamond.

Heavens no. Even I know not to let him in this early.

OK. It's a surprise.

All right.

Wait, who is this mystery guest?

You'll see.

Lola, will you do me a favor and help Nicole with the door today?

Okay.

Ruby.

Hey.

Hi.

Oh, it's so good to see you. How have you been?

I'm good. I've been back and forth between Jamaica and Europe the past

Oh, well, look at you, you little traveler. What brings you back here to

York? Actually, you, Kim.

Me? Mm -hmm.

I want to introduce you to someone, a colleague of mine who might change your

life the way she changed mine.

Can you go and get my friend from up front, please? Of course.

Wait a minute. What exactly have you been up to?

Well, I'm a newlywed. Oh, so I heard.

Oh, honey, so I heard. And I heard you had a baby.

I take it you've been talking to Orlando.

Well, yeah, he has asked about you more than once.

Now, you know he loves you, Ruby.

Orlando Duncan doesn't know how to love me, Skim.

Check me on that.

Hey, Kim.

Who? Ruby?

Where is she?

Keep her there. I'm on my way right now.

Well, where the hell did she go?

And why didn't you call me while she was still there?

The draft.

Yeah.

I gotta go to work.

Wait. You're leaving?

I just said I gotta go to work.

You gotta go to work or you gotta get to Ruthie?

What are you doing? Listening to my phone calls? No, you were talking loud

enough that I overheard everything that you said. Yeah, well, I got a lot going

on. I can tell.

Don't explain your way out of things, Paris.

I know, Mom. I just, I really need to talk to you.

Is this about Sasha?

Partly.

But it's also about me.

I've been thinking about moving to Europe.

Do you realize how crazy this sounds? I mean, with everything going on right

now, do you think this is the right time to be gallivanting overseas?

Mom.

Kennedy is dead.

Sasha is missing.

Do you realize how selfish you sound?

How am I selfish?

Huh? I mean, Junior is gone, and he's the reason why any of this is even

happening. But I'm selfish.

You're damn right.

And you are not blameless in this, Missy.

Orlando said that he told you and Sasha to leave Brother X's house.

And I know you well enough to know that it was probably you that decided not to

follow instructions.

Weren't you?

Yeah.

I was wrong.

And I know I was.

That is partly the reason why I want to get out of here after we save Sasha.

Mom, my mind is all over the place.

And I keep making the wrong decisions.

Well, it's nice to finally see you taking responsibility for change.

Something new.

Maybe a change of scenery is exactly what you need.

Does that mean I can go?

I'll talk to your father.

I don't like it.

But you are not leaving until your brother's back and Sasha's found.

We need you to stay here to help us deal with this as a family.

You hear me?

Of course.

Yes, ma 'am.

It's been a long time.

I heard you were dead.

Heard the same about you.

I guess we both heard wrong, huh?

It's good to see you, little sister.

Better to see you, big brother.

I was told that you refused to work with Consuelo when you were asked.

So does that mean you work for me still?

That's good to know.

I got an important job for you.

Who do I have to tell?

Nobody right now.

I want you to find my wife.

I want to know everything she does.

Well, she's on the East Coast.

That much I'm sure of.

Do you know her?

No, but there is something you should know.

Yeah, what's that?

Consuela has a 15 -year -old son.

You're not the father.

Good? It's amazing.

Carl Weber really knows how to keep me on the edge of my seat.

It must be good. I gave it to you this morning and you're already finished.

I like reading.

Up until the day my dad died, we exchanged books.

It was the one thing that we shared that my mom couldn't ruin.

That's good.

Fathers should be close to their daughters.

We were.

I mean, it wasn't all fun and games.

While other kids were playing with dolls and video games, he made me read Sun

Tzu's Art of War.

Ah, the Art of War.

I know it well.

Your father must have been an impressive man.

I think so.

You kind of remind me of him.

Me?

How?

You're street smart, but you're not from the streets.

You're a gentleman, but you're also fearless.

He was like that.

My daddy didn't take no shit.

He was so loyal.

Like you.

You're nothing like any woman I've ever met before.

You're not like most men.

I'm your captive.

You treat me with great respect.

You went out of your way to get this book.

And you bring me my favorite meal every day.

I'm not allowed.

Women should be cared for.

I look forward to finishing this conversation.

Miss Duncan, the man you were expecting has arrived.

Thank you, Ralph.

Charlotte, good to see you again.

I wish I could say the same, Brother Minister.

Have a seat.

I received word from Orlando that your husband wanted to speak to me.

No, Brother Minister, that was me who wanted to speak to you.

I don't understand. Why would you want to speak to me?

Here you apologize for Brother X breaking the truth.

And to find out how you plan on making things right.

Well, perhaps I should talk to your husband or your son about that.

Now you're talking to the right person.

You did come to apologize, didn't you?

Yes, but... But nothing.

You know what?

Fuck your apology.

The only thing I want from you right now is to tell me where the fuck is Brother

X.

I do not know his whereabouts, but I can assure you I have everyone within my

power searching for him. Well, search harder, damn it.

It means the least you can do, considering that your so -called truth

me and my husband killed. I did not mean for that to happen, Charlotte.

And I don't understand why.

Xavier would break his word like this.

He did.

And now he has my niece, and I want her back.

Xavier has your niece?

This is news to me. I didn't know that he had taken hostages.

And because of that, a whole lot of innocent black men are going to die.

I mean good men who remain loyal to a man who went back on his word to us.

dishonored you and his faith.

I mean, men who are teachers and fathers and brothers and mentors

are going to lose their lives because of a man that you support.

This is not the fault of these men nor I.

This is all Brother Xavier's doing.

You don't understand. No, you don't understand, Brother Minister.

Now, my husband and my son have sat down with their heads...

Of the Russians.

The Italians.

The Jews.

The Cubans. The Mexicans. And the Asians.

And a whole host of organizations.

To end the brotherhood.

Now.

Either you can do something about it.

Or you can step the fuck out of the way.

Because brother minister.

We are at goddamn war.

Turn up for the day.

Turn up for the day.
