FX presents Snowfall.

Something's happening in my neighborhood.

There's more money on the streets...

... more shootings.

It's called "rock".

What are you doing?

Getting you packed up, taking you to school.

You think bringing our child

into the middle of this is safe?

I can keep you both clear of the more dangerous parts of it.

- Hi. - TONY: Who exactly is Teddy McDonald?

He also went under an alias:

"Reed Thompson".

What's happened?

You've been sick, ma'am.

Awful sick.

Have I?

Two, three days now, you...

you've been, uh...

Mel?

All right.

Don't stop.

Right there, Franklin.

Daddy, close the door.

It's all right, Mel.

He just looking for this.

Here.

Take it.

I am Edward, prince of tyranny...

... defender of innocent citizens

of all planets.

I gained my superpowers when I discovered the sacred...

God! Come on.

Come on!

Where's my fucking car?

- I'm gonna kill her. - Goddamn.

Little Melly-Mel, stealing cars now.

They grow up so fast.

Oh, her little ass thinks she's slick.

Thinks she's bulletproof 'cause she's going to college,

but she got another think coming.

Hey, slow down.

Here. Drink.

Come on, big guy.

Attaboy.

All right, so what do we know?

Karina said Eva came in around 2:00 a.m.,

so that mean Mel must have come in, took the keys,

then went out joyriding in my goddamn car.

How have things been at home?

You two been arguing a lot recently?

Hey, the last dipshit to raise a 17-year-old

without an argument was Helen Keller's old man, so...

Seeing as how you're not exactly

the most agreeable son of a bitch, maybe she ran away?

Why would she run away now?

I'm supposed to drive her

clear across the country this afternoon.

You can't get much farther away unless you had a goddamn boat!

Did she have a boyfriend?

No.

Well, we're already running the APB and running your plates.

Don't worry. We're gonna find her.

Hell yeah, we're gonna find her.

And then I'm-a kill her.

Yeah. Hello.

Oh, shit. Western and what?

Yeah.

Okay. Thanks.

Well, what do you want first,

the good news or the bad news?

Damn.

Yeah. What do you think?

- Pros did this. - Pros?

Mm-hmm.

Like hyenas tearing apart a carcass.

Jesus.

What the fuck is that?

It's Melody's nail.

Oh, shit.

♪ Love you more each day... ♪

You know y'all broke my granny front door

when y'all raided her apartment.

Jesus.

- I'm so sorry. - No, you not.

She 83. Damn near gave her a heart attack.

I promise you, that was an accident.

Accident?

Yeah. It's a lot of those around here, huh?

After y'all broke her door,

smokers ran up in there, stole her TV.

Now she can't even watch her stories.

Okay, look, I am truly sorry,

but I'm looking for my daughter.

And I'm looking for my granny TV.

I guess we all looking for shit, huh?

Yeah, I get it. Y'all don't like me.

But that ain't got nothing to do with my daughter.

Hey, cuz.

PKs... preachers' kids and pigs' kids.

Them the ones you got to watch out for.

- What's that supposed to mean? - I don't know what to tell you.

All I do know is, if you really knew her,

you damn sure wouldn't be looking for her around here.

That's it. That's it.

Come on.

- Well, it's been four hours. - I'm all right.

How you doing with that?

You know your brother.

Tough on the outside, but...

Even tougher on the inside.

Negro, please.

Well, seriously, how's it going?

They mess with my head.

Supposed to have these with food.

Somebody hurry up with the damn French toast.

- Ah. Yeah. - Come on, man.

They in here making me take pills.

You know how long it took da Vinci to paint the Mona Lisa?

I don't know what that

got to do with my breakfast.

Patience is a virtue.

- Don't burn me now. - I got you.

- Okay. - You know who said that?

Probably da Vinci, with his slow ass.

No. Close.

- Thank you, baby. - Mm-hmm.

- Got it. - Yeah.

- I like a lot of syrup. - He just got out

of the shower. He's on his own pace.

Cut me a piece. Come on! Give me a piece.

- Okay. - That one right there. Oh, wait.

- Come on, give me a piece. - Okay. Oh, this is good.

- It's good. - Mmm. What did you put up in here?

The secret's in the Texas toast. Soaks up the syrup.

- Mm-hmm. - Good.

Hey, everybody.

- Late start. - Oh, look at him. Come on in here.

- Mwah. - Get you some goodness there.

I finished that book I got from Mrs. Mosley.

The Spook Who Sat by the Door. Damn.

- Deep, huh? - Mm-hmm.

And the end, when Freeman killed Dawson...

See? What I tell you? Huh?

Black man's dream, white man's nightmare.

Nephew, why you messing with that nonsense?

- You want a real page turner? - Mm.

Read Pimp, Iceberg Slim.

Okay. Now, see,

- I thought you was about to say something. - Yeah!

Franklin, ignore your uncle.

I am. I am. I'm not listening.

- Why you gonna tell him something like th... - Yes. Please.

Sorry to bother y'all this Sunday morning,

- but I was looking for... - You're looking for one ass whupping.

- That's what you're looking for. - State your business, Andre.

Mel didn't come home last night.

Was hoping Franklin might know something.

If you could tell me anything, anything at all...

Hey.

Anything at all.

I know if I was leaving to go to college,

after I'd done everything that everybody had ever asked of me,

including holding down a job my senior year,

getting all "A" s,

I'd appreciate if my pops cut me a bit of slack.

She stole my car, and I found it stripped.

Looks like signs of a struggle.

You still want to talk about slack?

Look, I'm hoping that you got a better read

on where she could be than I do.

I know you all are close.

I'll ask around.

Sorry to bother y'all.

Franklin, find that girl.

I see Sunday starting off

That's just fine. The last thing I need

is Andre knocking on my mama front door.

Yeah, that'd be all bad.

Where you think she at?

Why everybody think I know where she is?

- 'Cause that's your girl. - Shit.

She ain't been my girl for a minute.

Hey, the first nigga through the door always got a key.

You in a glass house, homey. Put your stone down.

At least I got a spiritual practice.

Shut your ass up.

"Spiritual practice".

You're going to hell.

Eva would've stayed with Mel, we wouldn't be in this shit.

Nigga, don't be bitter she was with Maurice last night

and not your ass.

Hey, right here.

- Nigga, you ain't slick. - What you talking 'bout, Lee?

Stay your ass from my chair is what I'm talking about.

Fatback, open the door.

Ha-ha! What up, Saint?

- Mm! - What you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

- Maurice. Where he stay at again? - Mm. Oh.

You know Reece.

He stay knee-deep in some pussy.

Say he does. Where can I find him?

Hmm. Where he at?

There? Over there?

Nigga, don't act like you wasn't following him around

like a fat-ass puppy waiting for him to drop some pussy crumbs.

Damn.

You act like folks can't change, homey.

Mel ain't come home last night.

Heard she hooked up with Reece.

Ain't nobody seen her since.

Shit.

Uh...

All right, matter of fact,

I think he's been staying with his grandmama off Western.

- Thought you ain't know where he was. - No.

That ain't for sure, but...

What, you need me to roll up on him,

send him a message?

Nah, nothing, like that. Just put the word out.

Anybody find Mel, tell 'em to hold her,

page me or Lee.

- All right. - Hey, Saint?

Nigga, don't you see some grown folks talking?

Dang. Stall me out, Lee.

You got something to say, Eager Kid, say it.

- Hold on, why you calling me eager, man? - 'Cause you

fucking eager, nigga, speak.

I saw her this morning with Wanda.

Wanda who?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wanda Bell

- Don't Tell-Ass Wanda? - Yeah.

What were they doing?

I don't know, they just got in a car together.

- What time? - It was like,

- like 7:30. - You mean to tell me you saw Mel

get in a car with Wanda at 7:30

- in the fucking morning? - Yes.

Come on.

Stupid.

Damn.

If Mel with Wanda, that only mean one thing.

Rock.

- What's so funny? - Come on, man,

we talking about Mel.

Yeah, we also talking about rock.

Yeah, but M... Mel ain't Wanda.

What you saying?

Is Wanda going to Spelman?

- Shit, is Mel? - Look, let's just find her, all right?

- You think Mel too good to smoke rock? - You think Eva's

- too good to smoke rock? - Eva's ass ain't with Wanda.

- Eva went to church this morning. - That's what I'm saying.

Eva and Mel are strong, and that's why they're friends.

Wanda, she's always been fucking weak.

I called Wanda everything but a child of God,

but one thing she ain't is weak.

Man, what you think, we making all this money

'cause this shit ain't addictive?

Once the rock get ahold of they ass,

the person you knew, they gone.

- Slave to the pipe now. - Look,

I know you've been through it with Wanda.

I know that she's real to you.

What you mean, real to me?

I know that shit hurt you, but you got to get over it.

- 'Cause Wanda's gone. - Yeah, and if Mel is with her ass,

then she gone, too.

Well, maybe you're right.

Maybe I ain't over her.

But you're lucky I'm not,

'cause maybe I know where to find Wanda.

Look, nigga, I already know

you've been fucking her, so that means you know

exactly where the fuck she at.

Nigga, ain't nobody fucking no smokers.

Shit, and even if I was,

I ain't telling your punk ass shit!

Goddamn.

You Westside niggas sure got a problem

with keeping y'all bitches in line.

This ain't about no bitch.

Mel's pops is LAPD.

Find her before he does and having a cop owe us a favor,

that's just good business.

Hey, Bootsy, tell these niggas

how you be getting ahold of Wanda.

How many times I got to tell y'all?

Ain't nobody still fucking with no Wanda.

Nigga, you lying.

Everybody know Wanda be humming the alphabet

when she sucking dick.

And I'll be damned if your ass ain't been strolling

in this motherfucker, humming on the regular.

Sound like one of them niggas from Sesame Street.

Nah.

Shit, the alphabet was last month.

She be humming "Happy Birthday" now.

- She be humming, nigga? - Don't make me ask you again

where the fuck she at!

I don't know exactly where she be at, a'ight?

But I do know where she cop her rock from.

Bo and Lamont.

Who they?

Lee, that's your neighborhood, ain't it?

Hey, look, don't worry about it.

I make it a point to know all the hustlers, big and small.

I can take you straight to 'em.

Good.

Like, trust me, if I would've known how bad

you had it for Wanda, I would've never let Bootsy

put his hands on her.

Fuck you talking 'bout?

I'm just saying, bro.

I think a man should never put his hands on a woman.

Nigga like me...

I'm just saying.

I just follow orders.

Franklin say get rid of her, that's what I'm-a do.

How I'm supposed to know Bootsy gonna take it that far?

Shit, one thing about Wanda is she tough.

She know how to take a punch.

You ever get tired of hearing yourself talk?

Not really.

Checking in with our morning traffic report.

including the 405 and 10 freeways.

It seems that Mayor Bradley's plan to increase public transit

and the fact that many people have simply stayed off the road

has paid off in a big way.

- Hey, Mel! - Shit.

- What you doing here? - What?

Looking for $20 worth of rock.

Shit! $20?

- Shit. - What you doing?

That's all?

Wanda, no.

Ooh.

Hello? What do you want, Wanda?

Oh, um... these niggas, they-they stingy with the rock.

- I know somewhere we can get more for our money. - We?

Yeah, if you want some rock,

- you ain't got no damn money. - Nah, nah, see,

we gonna have $40 soon as you take me to go get it.

- Come on. - Shit.

No, Wanda, I got shit to do.

Okay, so, then I'm gonna take your $20,

then run in my cousin's house and get my $20,

then we gonna have $40, and then we can run to this spot

Are you mad?

You mad at me now.

I'm in trouble.

Uh...

You're a fucking asshole, Franklin.

Muévese.

_

Run away with me.

With the duffel bags or without?

You're serious?

Do you remember our first date?

What?

Don't do that.

- Don't do this. - You take me horseback riding

in...

except you don't want to horseback-ride.

The horse was crazy. It wouldn't listen to anyone.

- In English or in Persian. - And so you decide

to follow behind on foot.

In my defense,

no one told me that horses kick backwards.

Who doesn't know horses kick backwards?

Goddamn thing could've killed me.

And despite having a bruised sternum...

when you realized I'd been thrown off...

you were overwrought.

Overwrought?

That's-that's not my way.

Oh...

For weeks I couldn't figure out if it was, um, sexist or...

if you were the nicest guy I'd ever met.

And after...

a few months, uh...

I didn't care.

Because I was in love.

After everything we've been through,

I didn't think I could feel like that again.

I was wrong.

You said you want it all.

Well, I'm offering you the chance to have it all.

Me, Paul... us.

And the job, of course.

Just not here.

Yeah, but I can't leave here, Jules, you know that.

I think you can, Teddy.

Money for the Contras is pouring in.

The arms sale in Taiwan.

Cash from the Middle East.

The Saudis alone are contributing

a million dollars a month.

You've done enough here.

You've risked enough.

Shit, Teddy.

There are other ways to serve.

Like where?

You know Spelman is named after a white woman?

Rockefeller's wife.

Thanks for the ride.

So... I guess this is it, hmm?

At least until Christmas break.

What happened to your necklace?

I must have lost it at the party.

Hey, you gonna miss me?

Jesus Christ.

Hey, Mel, hey.

Hey. Oh, my God, Jesus Christ.

Oh, you had me worried sick.

- Are you okay? - I'm okay. I'm just...

Can we talk about this later?

Hell no, we can't talk about it later.

Daddy, I'm tired. I have a headache

and I just need some rest.

The fuck?

Where did you find her?

If I was you...

I wouldn't let that girl out of my sight.

What the fuck just happened?

Hold on.

Hey! What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means I don't want to talk about it.

Don't want to talk about it?

Mel. Melody.

What happened?

Is she okay?

No.

She on the rock now.

Melody Nicole Wright.

You'd better answer me when I'm talking to you.

Daddy, where's my fucking money?!
