Chillin', chillin'. Why you sound like that?

A dude came over today, flippin'.

Flippin'? About what?

Turns out they got your boy on a screen

for the last couple moves he made.

Moms caught the evening news. Get the picture?

Crystal clear. You hot?

Hot? I'm on fire.

No worries, man. You know them "eyes" they got is blurry as shit.

You need to fall back for a couple of months, man.

- Let that thing blow over. - Yeah, I know.

Don't tell me you know, Dub.

You need to bring your ass back to NY.

- Come lay low out here with me. - You right.

[ scoffs ] Don't tell me I'm right, Dub.

Do it. Miami's always gonna be there.

You can always go back. You could stay with me. You good.

Cool. I'ma do that.

I just have a few things I need to do before I come.

- Just give me a few days. - All right.

I'ma give you a few days, but, yo,

book your ticket as soon as we get off this phone.

I can't book it because, like I said,

I got a few things I gotta do first.

But I got you. I'm on it, Rafe.

All right. Yo, be safe out there, man.

And, yo, make sure you hit my jack

as soon as you know when you gonna make that move.

I love you, my nigga.

[ chuckles ] Here you go with this shit.

Yo, whatever, man. Just be safe out there.

Got you.

[ silent ]

[ silent ]

[ phone buzzes ]

- Yo. - Man: Yo, Dub's dead.

What? What the fuck are you talking about?

- What Dub? - Your Dub.

Yo, don't be calling my phone with this bullshit, man.

[ buzzing ]

What?

Rafe, I'm dead serious.

Did the police kill him?

I don't know. I just got the call.

He said he didn't have your number, so I told him I'd call you.

He said that he died in Atlanta.

Atlanta?

Yo, thanks for the call, man. I gotta make a call.

[ sighs ]

[ line rings ]

[ phone buzzing ]

Damn.

What happened?

Yo, chill, Rafe.

I'm on my way back to NY right now.

I'm coming to see you as soon as I touch down to NY.

What happened?!

You know I can't kick it on the jack.

I'm coming straight to you, Rafe.

That's my word, B.

[ mutters ] Gotta see Black.

[ phone buzzes ]

- Yo? - Hey, Black,

things went left.

The fuck you mean that shit went left?

Look, man, I ain't fixin' to get into this shit over the phone, bro.

You remember where the crib at? Just come to the crib, bro.

I can't get into details over the horn, bro.

Just know that milk spoiled and it ain't good no more.

Don't tell me you fucked that package up, Choppa.

Look, man, just come to the crib, bro.

I'ma break it down to you once you get here.

[ scoffs ] Ts-ss.

[ sighs ]

[ sighs ] Fuck, Kane. Think, think, think.

What the fuck did you do?

Shit.

What the fuck did I do, yo?

They told you to stay off the streets

and you wouldn't listen.

They told you the streets wasn't for you.

You really didn't listen.

[ sighs ] Who can I call? Call Rafe.

[ line rings ]

- Pick up, Rafe. - Recording: After the tone...

Ah, fuck this voicemail. Let me try again.

[ line rings ]

- Recording: After the tone... - Fuck!

Tsk, where are you, Rafe?

Shit.

What the fuck did I do?

Rafe, where are you? I need you, yo.

Nah, he gotta answer the phone, yo.

Come on, Rafe. I need you, yo.

[ line rings ]

Recording: After the tone, please record a message.

Fuck!

What the fuck I got myself into, yo?

Who else can I call?

Who else can I call?

Shane.

Call Shane, Shane.

[ phone rings ]

- [ line rings ] - Come on.

Recording: After the tone,

- please record a message. - Fuck, yo.

- [ phone buzzes ] - Oh!

Oh, shit, come on.

- Hello? - Why you up so early, man?

Matter of fact, why are you even callin' my phone this early?

What time is it?

Shane, thank God, yo.

My bad, man. I didn't mean to wake you. It's 7:40.

But, yo, have you been outside yet?

Kane, I'm still in my bed. Why would I be outside?

[ sighs ] Yo, I need you

to come meet me right now ASAP, please.

Meet you for what?

Come on, Shane. It's an emergency. Please!

Yo, why you sound like that, man? Are you all right?

No-- I mean, yes. I mean, yo, I don't even know.

It's something I gotta talk to you in person, though,

'cause Rafe told me

do not ever speak about these things over the phone.

All right, so come meet me. Come to my crib.

You're gonna come?

What the fuck, Kane?

Why you can't come to the block?

Yo, I promise you when you get here,

I'ma explain everything to you.

- Just come. - [ sighs ]

All right, man.

This shit better be important

if you're dragging me out my goddamn bed this early, man.

Send me the address to where you're at. I'm on my way.

All right, yes, bet.

Yeah, I'ma send you the address right now.

All right. Thank you, yo.

Thank God.

Oh, shit.

[ exhales ]

Fucking Kane, man.

[ groans ]

[ knocking on door ]

Bro, you know what the fuck time it is, man?

Sittin' here knocking on the door like you motherfuckin' crazy.

What the fuck happened, Choppa?

- Man, keep your motherfucking-- - Don't tell me you fucked this up.

Bro, keep your motherfuckin' voice down, bro.

You sittin' here like you want the whole neighborhood

to know what the fuck we talkin' about.

Oh, okay. So what happened?

Did you get in the crib?

Did you get the bread, the coke, something?

Shit ain't work out like that, bro.

What do you mean?

So how the fuck it didn't work out?

You fucked it up, didn't you?

Look, bro, you said it yourself.

Homie move militant like a motherfucker.

You told me the tables could turn.

So what happened?

Bro, we positioned ourselves,

we waited, and when he came out,

he wasn't tryin' to hear it.

What you mean he wasn't tryin' to hear it?

I told you to play him close

because I definitely know he'd be havin' somethin' on him.

What, y'all got into a bang-out?

Nah, man.

As soon as I got in arm's reach,

the nigga went for the fire.

So we started fightin'-- all of us.

- So I popped his ass. - Did you get in the crib?

How the fuck I'ma get into the crib

after lettin' off a shot that late, Black?

We had to get the fuck up out of there.

This that bullshit.

I knew you wasn't gonna be able to handle that shit.

- I fuckin' knew it. - Fuck you mean you knew it?

You would throw away all the money in the world

because you pissed.

I done seen you fuck jobs up

and shoot motherfuckers you didn't even have to.

That's exactly why I stopped fuckin' with you.

You be in it more for shootin' motherfuckers

- than for the money. - Man, fuck that, Black!

I ain't fixin' to be fightin' and arguin' with a nigga

with a motherfuckin' gun in my hand.

The fuck the point of the fire, then?

Bro, ain't no motherfuckin' conversations

when I'm strapped up, bro.

I'm quick to let a motherfucker have it.

The fire mean, "Nigga, I talk, you listen."

- Period. - That's that bullshit I'm talkin' about.

That gun is supposed to mean you gonna get that paper.

Shootin' motherfuckers puts absolutely no money in my pocket!

[ scoffs ] I thought you mighta had smartened up by now.

You're still the same fuckin' knucklehead.

"Knucklehead"?

Who the fuck you talkin' to, Black?

After all the work I done put in for your ass,

after all the bread we done broke together

even after we got into it,

and then you just up and disappear?

[ chuckles ] And why did we get into it?

For the same damn reason-- you fucked up a lick

- for damn near half a mil. - Man, fuck that!

I'ma be me. I'ma do shit the way Ido shit.

And it's fucked up you left me out here for dead!

Left you for dead?

You fucked up three licks back-to-back!

That was it. I couldn't take that shit no more.

I knew at the time you was good.

You were sittin' on a nice chunk of change.

You didn't care whether if I was ran or not.

So you leave me for dead?

I bet you ain't even know niggas caught me slippin'

and robbed me after that, Black.

I was left out here naked.

And you ain't turn back for shit.

Niggas robbed you?

- Yeah, niggas robbed me. - Yeah?

My crib. My realcrib.

And them boys cleaned me out.

I'm talkin' about my whole stash.

- Everything. - You ain't get word

- on where that shit came from? - Nothin', man,

as if them motherfuckers never exist.

Oh, okay.

Anyway, look, Choppa.

I'm 'bout my business.

What's bad for business could never be good for me.

Tsk, and what's the story, though?

Is this guy Rafe a body or what?

Look, man, I don't know.

All I know, I hit that boy in the stomach

and he was bleedin'.

I can't tell you no more than that, bro.

Fuck! If that's the case,

you shoulda just killed the motherfucker, Choppa!

Man, listen, I did what the fuck I had to do.

Plus, you ain't tell me to rock that boy to sleep.

I gotta go. I gotta get back to Brooklyn

to find out what's word on the street.

And that nigga saw your face?

If he's not dead,

I wouldn't be too comfortable in that trap of yours.

Rafe knows that location.

[ scoffs ]

[ door closes ]

Fuck!

[ doorbell chimes ]

Oh, gosh.

I'm so sorry to have called you so early this mornin', Bella.

I'm, like-- I'm sorry.

I didn't know who else to call.

I didn't know where else to go.

Just come in. You're fine.

I'm just glad I was off work today.

Work?! Bella, please, can you charge my phone?

I need to call into work to let them know

I won't be comin' in today.

- Yeah, sure. - Where's my phone?

Wait, you're callin' out of work?

Okay, this is the second surprise of the day.

Second?

Well, I shouldn't have to tell you

I was surprised to see your name pop up

when my phone rang this mornin'.

I don't even remember the last time you and I spoke.

Bella, we speak almost every day at work.

Come on, Jessica. Let's be honest.

We're cordial at work.

But you and I, we don't speak.

Not the way we used to.

You got it. You're right.

But that's not on me.

You became distant, so I fell back.

[ sighs ] Well, I'm sure you know

why I got distant on you, Jessica.

No, I don't.

When that girl Shay started workin' at the job...

- Shay. - I told you I wasn't too fond of her.

I don't know. I don't like her energy

and it's just somethin' about that girl

that just rubs me the wrong way.

But you and her got close.

Closer than you and I.

And I'm not gonna sit in her face and be fake.

I'm not the one for drama either,

so I fell back.

Speaking of Shay...

What? What about Shay?

You remember my ex, Damon?

- Ex? - Yep.

- Ex. - You and Damon broke up?

You were head over heels for him.

Jess, what happened?

It's a long story.

But as of lately, from what I know,

they're involved.

What?!

- Involved how? - [ sighs ]

Oh, my God, I knew she couldn't be trusted.

- How do you know this? - [ sighs ]

She was over at my house last night

and she got up to use the bathroom

and her phone was on my bed.

It rang and when I looked down,

it was him texting her,

"Are you still comin' over tonight?"

The dumbass even had him saved in her phone

as "Call Me Choppa."

"Call Me Choppa"?

And what the hell does that mean?

Forget it. You won't understand.

Oh, Jessica,

please tell me that when she came out the bathroom,

you beat that ass.

Please tell me, Jessica.

Everything in me wanted to, Bella.

I-- I had to be sure.

I had to be sure.

So for the whole two minutes that she was in there,

I contemplated if I should say somethin',

if I-- but I need to know.

I need to know if this is somethin' that's been goin' on

the whole time we were together

or if it just started after we broke up.

I knew it, Jessica.

I knew I couldn't trust that connivin'-ass bitch.

I didn't like her ass for a reason.

Look, don't let this rattle you at this point, though, Jess.

Look at you.

Boy, you look really distressed.

You look like you haven't slept in days.

Last night was so crazy, Bella.

But that wasn't even the worst of it.

There's more?

[ chuckles ] Girl, I'm gonna have to

make me some breakfast to stomach all this stuff

- you've got goin' on. - Bella, seriously.

I'm sorry. Just-- go ahead.

You have my full, undivided attention.

I started seein' this guy named Rafe

and he got shot last night.

What? He got shot?

How?

I don't know, Bella. With a gun?

I mean, what the hell happened?

After Shay left last night...

I-- I was so angry.

I couldn't see what was goin' on

right in front of my face.

I didn't know what to do.

And Rafe, he's just so levelheaded.

I called him so he could help me

figure out what I should do.

What you should do?

I could've gave you some advice, Jess.

- Beat that ass. - Bella.

All right, go ahead. Just finish tellin' me.

[ sighs ] I called Rafe and he was out.

But I told him I really needed to talk,

so he promised he'd call me back.

He did, and on my way over there

as I was comin' out the elevator,

he was layin' on the floor covered in blood.

Oh, my God, Jessica.

I mean, is he all right?

Girl, are you all right?

I'm fine!

But I don't know about him.

When I left the hospital, he was still under.

Bella, I can't think.

I couldn't go home and be in the house by myself.

I couldn't go to work.

Oh, speakin' of work, let me get you that charger

because the last thing you need

is a "no call, no show" on top of all of this.

Yeah, I do not need any added stress.

You're right, you don't need to lose your job

on top of your long list of issues.

[ music playing ]

? Baby girl, let me make you my one... ?

Yeah, man.

This is where the man them tell me BR is restin' him head right now.

- Mm-hmm. - You see,

you cannot trust nobody out here.

How the fuck this boy Jabba

give this snake of a soldier refuge right now, my dog?

Only Jah know.

No. We don't know what BR tell the man first.

You can't say the man disloyal without reason.

Without reason?

The man BR turned him back on him own army.

Tell me, what type of explanation you could give me

for make them things cool now, dog?

If Jabba want for choose sides,

him are gonna rest right next to BR.

Me leave both of them in the same hole.

Member say you don't know if the talks we heard are true.

Enough men they chat things what they don't know.

Hm, well, I'ma keep my gun close.

Me, I gonna talk to Jabba

man-to-man, face-to-face,

and see if him eyes tell me what him mouth do.

We are gonna sit right here and wait for the man

and when him come out, me gonna talk to the pussy.

Tsk, what the fuck, yo?

What is so important

that you just had to meet me this early in the mornin', Damon?

- You know I gotta get to work! - Man, watch your mouth, girl.

- Man, come here. Let me talk to you, man. - What the fuck? Get off my arm!

- What's wrong with you, Damon? - The fuck is wrong with you?

You know my fuckin' name. Call me Choppa, Shay.

Whatever, Choppa. What happened?

Look, you know a dude

that live on your block named Rafe?

Rafe? Why?

Why does it matter?

Do you or don't you?

So you found out, huh?

I've been tryin' to tell you Jessica moved on, Damon.

I told you she was messin' with this other guy.

Man, what the fuck is you talkin' about, Shay?

Hold up, that'sthe nigga?

Look, man, I've been knew.

Matter of fact, I know so-- I--

one of the homies knows the homie.

And word got back to me.

I thought Jessica said she's done dealin' with street niggas.

And she turned around and deal with this dude?

What do you mean, Damon?

Ts-ss, call me Choppa, Shay.

What do you mean, Choppa?

Man, this nigga Rafe is as knee-deep in the streets as I am.

She did all that talkin'--

talkin' about how she's done with street niggas,

she don't wanna deal with a certain lifestyle.

Then all of a sudden, she turn around

and mess with this dude?

Wait, I don't understand

because that's not what she told me.

She told me he has a job.

[ scoffs ] A job?

Oh, so he a nigga that's workin'

and slangin' birds out at the same time?

Well, I guess he wouldn't be the first.

Slangin' what?

Look, never mind that, man.

What's the info on this dude, man?

Who, Rafe?

Oh, um, I really don't know.

Just regular hood stuff, you know what I'm sayin'?

Like, he's not the type to be talkin'

and he's always by hisself.

But at the end of the day,

why do you even care?

I told you Jessica moved on.

Now you hear it for yourself and you wanna be

out here buggin' lookin' all crazy and shit?

- What? - Got me out here all early-ass in the mornin'

about to be late to work 'cause you wanna talk about her bullshit

- and who she messin' with? - Man, look--

Come on, my nigga. Y'all trippin' right now.

Look. Watch your mouth.

Man, I ain't studyin' that nigga.

I just heard that he be into some shit.

So when I found out that he was messing with Jessica,

I just wanna make sure she's safe.

But what does it matter to you,though?!

Like, why do you even care?

Why do I care?

What does it matter to you?

Man, just find out the info on this Rafe dude, man.

Look, I already told you what I know,

so are we done?

Stop playin' with me, Shay.

You heard what I said, right?

Yes, I heard you.

Look, I gotta go to work.

I'm already late fuckin' with you, Damon.

- Call me Choppa, Shay. - Bye, Choppa.

[ sighs ]

[ Jabba singing ]

? ...That's what the youth say ?

? Them try every little thing, boy... ?

Yo, go back into the house, Jabba.

- What your deal, Fresh? - Go back in the house, Jabba.

What's up, Gunner? What are you always sittin' in the stairway for?

Isn't that why you got an apartment?

'Cause I don't smoke in my crib, Leon.

Okay, okay, makes sense,

but I need to talk to you, Gunner.

Talk to me about what?

- About last night. - What about it?

Yo, we's in the car on Shane's block,

I had butterflies in my stomach.

This murderin' shit is not for me.

I don't even have the right outfits for this.

Y'all dudes was hooded up.

I had a leopard print sweater on

with a patent leather vest.

I can't be around with dudes gettin' shot.

I heard a song with dudes talkin' about "blood on my sneakers."

I immediately thought about my Giuseppes.

- I almost fainted. - So what you sayin'?

You gotta be goin' shoppin' to put in work on Shane?

No, that's not what I'm sayin'.

I'm sayin' you don't need me.

You got your wolves, Gunner. This is not for me.

So what's gonna happen when you run into Shane again

and he tryin' to blow your head off?

You gonna run back over to me?

[ exhales ]

- Fuck. - What's the big deal, Leon?

You're actin' like I'm askin' you to pull a trigger.

You dragged me into this fuckin' beef.

Shane's lucky we didn't make it over there that night

'cause had my moms not called me and said she needed me,

it would've been a wrap for dude.

Me and my wolves is gonna do him filthy.

See, this is what I'm talkin' about.

You were upset that your moms called.

Me, I was happy. This has gone too far.

Gone too far?

Gone too far?

Maybe you don't know what it is you doin' out here.

You're basically runnin' around robbin' motherfuckers.

Just because it's not at gunpoint

don't make it no better.

You call yourself the "zo guard."

Homie had every right to try to take your head off.

But he knows you not built like that.

And that's why he's wrong for takin' it that far

and shootin' at a nigga knowin' that he ain't gonna shoot back.

There's no stripes earned from an easy kill.

So instead of sittin' back

watchin' the dude get closer and closer

until he smokes your ass,

I chose to jump in on the action and save you.

And now this is what you tell me? We've "gone too far"?

No, Leon. You've gone too far.

Hey, yo, I'm just out here tryin' to make a dollar.

This is business. It ain't personal.

Well, here's a lesson for you.

The streets don't play by those rules.

And on these streets, all business is personal.

And if you can't accept that, then maybe you need

to stick strictly to zoin' squares

because street niggas ain't havin' that bullshit.

Motherfucker, man.

Jabba: Yo, I hope you have good reason

why you disrespect my house like this, Fresh.

How you mean "disrespect," Jabba?

Supposed to be my brethren.

An ally to the thing.

I saw your move.

You see the man come and abandon with thing

and see the man come and try for gun at we head.

You give him refuge. What happened to you?

How can you say the word "brethren"

out of the same mouth connected to the hand

that holds that gun, Fresh?

I don't know whose words leadin' you right now,

but they look like those words mean you're here for war,

not for counsel. And at the end of the day,

me have to ask question if your brethrenship is true.

Yo, you know me loyal to the general's cause, though.

I could never fault a soldier for bein' true, you know?

But too much loyalty right now

can make a man blind, Fresh.

So you have identified yourself, Jabba,

because me havin' a real problem right now

identifyin' which side of the fence you are play right now.

Me don't know, it's like a snake, maybe, had come

and crawled into your ears

and told you some things and persuaded you to move to the other side.

If I could be persuaded

by somethin' simple as words, Fresh,

then I was no value as a ally.

Yo, stop it with the mindfuckery now, Jabba.

Where the fuck is BR?

Yo, whoever sent you,

ask them for answer the question, for you, hear?

Yo, me no come play no games with you, Jabba.

- Where's the boy? - Where?

You for go visit the island of Jamaica

and you'll find out where him there.

Him gone back a Jamaica.

Yo, let me tell you somethin' right now.

Consequence for them lies

are gonna fall right upon your bumbaclot head, trust me.

Lies?

Fresh, what me gonna gain outta that?

BR come here and him tell me everything what are goin' on,

and all I do is give him my advice.

And me, I tell the man, "Here what goin' on, dog.

You cannot fight the army by yourself

'cause that gonna be like suicide,

so you should just pack your bag them

and go back a Jamaica, brother,

because at the end of the day,

fightin' a war upon foreign grounds is not gonna work."

Mm, so you're tellin' me the fearless dog them

has gone back to Jamaica with him tail in between him legs?

- [ chuckles ] - No fear, Fresh.

It's a proud fool who doesn't retreat when necessary, dog.

So at the end of the day, him live to fight the next day.

Hmm, and when that day come, me are gonna wait for him.

But, Jabba, why you not tell me

where the boy stay all this time?

This a situation, Fresh, where you have to understand.

I have to stay neutral to both sides, you know?

Because at the end of the day, what gonna take place are gonna take place

and there's nothin' I can do 'bout it, you understand?

And I cannot contribute to that, you understand me I say, dog?

Sounds like somethin' the general would tell me.

Come like you have an energy with you, my dog.

Lucky still.

[ door opens, closes ]

Tsk...

- [ knocking ] - Who is it?

It's Shane.

The fuck? Yo, what you doin' in a hotel, man?

I know you got your bread up and all,

but I hope you're not splurgin' on these broads.

Females? Yo, that's the last thing that's on my mind right now.

- How'd the block look when you left? - Like the block. Why?

Yo, was any cops outside?

Nah, I took a cab here.

When I went outside, the cars was already in front.

Matter of fact, there was a paddy wagon and a patrol car

- on the corner when I spun off. - Ah, fuck.

- Shit. - What's up with you?

Man, I don't know if I should tell you this.

What are you talkin' about?

I mean, I wanna tell you this,

but Rafe always told me not to talk about these things when they happen.

Matter of fact, youeven told me

not to talk about these things when it happens.

The fuck are you talkin' about, Kane?

[ whispers ] I shot Mister.

- What? - I shot Mister.

I'm gonna sit down.

Aw, man.

- [ Kane sighs ] - All right, so tell me everything that happened

and tell me from the beginnin'.

From the beginnin'. okay.

Um, okay.

Last night, me and Rafe was supposed to go to the Buzz nightclub

and have some drinks.

But when we got there, the security guard

that usually lets him in with his gun wasn't there.

So, me, I ain't even wanna go in the first place.

So I'm like, "Yo, Rafe, give me your gun.

Go have some drinks and I'ma take the gun straight home."

But you know Rafe. "Yo, the life I live.

I gotta always keep that on me." Blah, blah, blah.

"How am I gonna protect my life?"

My nigga, I know Rafe. Just get to the point.

Okay, cool. So I finally convince him to give me the gun.

So I promise you, yo, I went straight home.

Straight to my buildin', no stop.

As soon as I get in my buildin',

who the fuck's standin' in my hallway?

Mister. He's like, "Yo, respect your jaw.

What you got for me today, Sugar Kane?"

So I'm like, "Fuck."

So then I remembered the time you pulled the gun out

and Mister took off runnin'.

So I grabbed my waist tryin' to scare him.

Then he's like, "Yo, you don't think I know

you backed me down with a cell phone last time?"

I'm like, "Shit." So then he rushes me.

We start fightin' and tusslin'.

I tried to reach the gun just to scare him.

Well, I guess when I pulled it out, I shot him.

And I swear to God, Shane, I shot Mister by accident, yo.

My nigga, fuck shootin' Mister.

- You could've hit yourself! - [ sighs ]

Mister had that shit comin' regardless.

Did anybody see you?

Nigga, I don't know!

As soon as that shit happened, I got the fuck out of there.

I went and sat at McDonald's

and I sat there till they closed.

And then I still was scared to go home,

so that's how I ended up here.

Yo, you think he's dead?

I don't know. Around what time was this?

That was, um, shit-- um,

it was, like, midnight.

Yo, you think I'ma get arrested for this?

- I don't know. It depends. - Oh, shit.

- Fuck my life. - It depends if anybody seened you.

Some bullshit, man.

It depends, if anybody seen you,

if they actually tell the police.

[ exhales ]

This could be a situation where nothin' happens.

But this also could be a situation where everything happens.

Where did you put the gun?

It's in the drawer, man.

All right, man. I'm about to go back to the block

to see if I can get any word on what happened.

- I'll be back. - Yo, you think you could

bring me some food when you come back?

You don't got no bread on you?

Yeah, I got money, but the cops lookin' for me.

My nigga, who the fuck you think you are,

- bin Laden? - Tsk, ah, whatever.

Police ain't lookin' for your ass!

Get your scary ass up and go get somethin' to eat!

- Whatever, man. - Crazy.

Lock that door, man.

[ exhales ]

What the fuck did I do, yo?

[ sighs ] I'm tired.

[ line rings ]

Recording: After the tone, please record a message.

Shit, let me text this nigga.

I'm surprised he's not up.

He's always up at the crack of dawn.

[ groans ]

[ phone buzzes ]

- What's up, Papi? - Capone: I didn't call you to play games, Miz.

Come to the shop today. We need to talk.

- All right, say no more. What time? - Doesn't matter.

- I'll be around. - All right, I'll be there. Cool.

Ah, fuck.

Okay, can you remember what, uh, happened last night?

Yeah, I remember.

Do you feel well enough to talk?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, fill us in on the details

how you ended up with a bullet

in your abdomen this morning.

I came home from grabbin' a couple of drinks.

Where did you go?

Um...

I was at the, uh-- the Buck Nightclub.

Where is that at?

That's on Empire Boulevard.

Empire Boulevard.

What's the cross streets?

Empire and Bedford, I believe.

I don't know, man. Google it.

- Who were you with? - I wasn't with anyone.

I was by myself.

So the young lady that was with you,

the one that placed the 911 call...

What young lady?

Miss...

her name is Jessica.

Does that name ring a bell?

Yeah, I remember.

She wasn't with me at the Buck's.

She called me and said that she needed to speak to me.

I told her that I'd call her back when I got home.

When I got to my block, I called her

and told her I'd be there in 10 minutes.

So she had knowledge since early that night

that you were out and about?

Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?

Look, we're just tryin' to look at every possible scenario

of as to why this might've taken place,

including someone settin' you up.

[ scoffs ] Look, there was no setup.

I came out of the elevator in my buildin'.

I bumped into this guy. He said something to me.

I said something back. He turned around and swung on me,

so of course I swung back. We started fightin'.

It spilled out the elevator into the hallway.

In the midst of the scuffle, I hear this loud bang.

The next thing I know, I'm on the floor shot.

No setup, no nothin'. Case closed, man.

How much money did you have on you?

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

I don't know, man, a little over $100.

Okay, the guy that you bumped into,

do you know his name?

Is he familiar to you?

No, I've never seen him before.

Do you know what apartment he came out of?

Didn't I just tell you that I bumped into him

when I came out of the elevator?

I really don't need this aggravation.

It sounds to me like this was random.

Listen, we're just-- we're just tryin'

to figure out who did this to you.

And the only way for us to do so

is by asking you questions.

Do you mind if we ask you a few more?

Yeah, you guys could have a few more minutes.

Are you a gang member?

I'm done. Do you hear this foolishness?

I came home, I got into it with somebody, and he shot me.

I'm not a gang member. I'm a grown-ass man

who just so happened to be at the wrong place

at the wrong time. What the fuck?

[ groans ]

Thank you for your patience and your time.

I-- I think we have everything that we need here.

Do you have a, uh, contact number where we can reach you

if we have any more questions or any new developments?

347-866-2405.

And if there's anything else

that you remember from that evening

or any questions that you have for us,

please don't hesitate to call.

We'll be in touch if necessary.

I don't know. I don't know what to say right now, you know?

That's crazy. Like, I didn't really know him like that,

- but, damn! - Mm-hmm.

it's crazy like that, ma'am.

But I hope he feels better, all right?

- Yeah, thank you, though. - Okay, have a good day.

- These guys are vakabon. - Shay: Right.

- Sak a, V. - Sak pase?

- What's up? - Ah, the family's worried, buddy.

Worried? Worried about what?

You don't hear what happened?

- No, what happened? - They shoot Rafe.

Who shot Rafe? When?

Last night, they shoot Rafe.

I don't know. I think it's the guys, you know,

they sell the crack and, you know, the marijuana.

You know, maybe them.

Maybe you because I know you sell the crack.

- I know that. - I don't know what you're talkin' about, V.

- Mm-hmm. - Is he good?

Is he good?

I tell you they shoot Rafe

and then you want to say, "Is he good?"

No, man! He's bad.

- Bad how? - I don't know.

I don't go to the hospital, you know,

because I tell Dorothy the story, she's goin' crazy right now.

Which hospital is he in, V?

Eh, K-- eh, King's City.

- Yeah. - All right, V.

- All right, man - See you later.

Take care of yourself, okay, boy?

Punk.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[ line ringing ]

[ mutters ] Jesus Christ Almighty.

[ phone buzzing ]

- What's up, shorty? - Hey, babe.

Look, you're not even gonna believe this,

but you remember the dude you asked me about, Rafe?

- He got shot last night. - He got shot?

Yeah, somebody from his buildin' was just puttin' me on.

Have you seen Jessica?

No. I haven't seen her at all.

They said she called out of work today

and that's not even like her,

so she's probably in the hospital with Rafe.

[ exhales ]

What-- what hospital would that be?

Most likely King's City. That's not too far from here.

Look, man,

keep me posted if you hear anything else.

I swear, you get on my nerves.

Like, why do you even care about her

and whoever she's fuckin', Damon?

Look, man, call me Choppa, Shay.

You know what? Whatever.

Bye, Choppa. Dummy.

What's wrong with this chick, man? [ scoffs ]

- [ line ringing ] - Come on, Miz.

Pick up, Miz.

- Pick up. - [ phone buzzing ]

Fuck.

What's up, my guy?

Capone's voice: "Your character has brought you to this point

and I don't ever want you to forget that.

The heart and mind exist totally independent of one another.

They are forever at war.

In business, your heart will always mislead you,

so always allow your mind to help you find your way.

Every man makes mistakes.

But a true man understands that being forthcoming

will free him,

whether that freedom is to forgiveness

or death.

This vast world is but a playground

to a giant.

Your limits are where we begin.

This is a chance to walk amongst gods."

Go now, Miz. We'll speak.

See you soon.

[ clicks ]

[ crackles ]

Hey, Miss.

You're up.

The doctor told me you woke earlier.

I was here all night last night,

so I decided to go home and bathe and change this morning.

- How you feelin'? - I'm good.

The doctor said the bullet went in and out.

He said the loss of blood

is the reason why I lost consciousness.

My God, Rafe. I was so afraid.

I came out the elevator

and you were just laying on the floor.

I didn't know what to do.

Well, you did what you had to do.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Do you remember what happened?

Yeah, I remember.

I was comin' out of the elevator

and I bumped into this guy.

And me and him started to scuffle and he shot me.

Did you know him?

No, I've never seen him before.

- Do you remember what he looked like? - Why?

Did you see anyone leavin' when you were entering the building?

No, not at all.

I'm just asking stupid questions.

I've never been through anything like this before,

so I'm still processing the whole thing.

Well, the worst part of it is all over.

You won't have to process from--

What the fuck are you doin' here?

Yo, I was just on your block.

I just heard what happened.

Yeah, me and you exchanged a few words the other night.

When I left your crib, I got to thinkin'

and I saw where you was comin' from.

Okay. And?

When I heard what happened, I was, like,

regardless of whatever words we might have exchanged,

I have to come through and make sure that you were good.

I'm good. You see it.

All right, man.

I didn't come here to cause no stress and no harm.

Maybe this isn't the best time for us to talk

and it's best that I leave.

I hope you feel better, Rafe.

- Black. - Yo.

Regardless of whatever,

I appreciate you comin' through to check me.

That's real.

How could I not?

A disagreement is a disagreement.

And this right here?

I'd be wrong if I didn't show face.

Say no more.

[ door closes ]

Pardon me, Jessica.

- Jessica. - Huh?

I said pardon me.

I didn't mean for you to see all of that.

This is a side of you that I've never seen before.

Your interactions with me are always so gentle.

Who was that?

People have different sides to their personalities

and those we interact with hardly get to see them all.

There's never been a reason

for me to really expose that side of me to you.

And I get it, but--

who was that again?

You ask a lot of questions.

Why do you wanna know?

Uh, I can sense the tension between you two.

I'm just curious.

That was somebody I used to work with.

We had a fallin' out a long time ago.

[ phone buzzing ]

- What's good, Black? - Yo.

I just saw Rafe at the hospital.

How he lookin'?

Man, he's lookin' like he hasn't even been touched.

But fuck all that. You won't even believe

who I seen sittin' in the room with him.

Huh, let me guess-- my ex, Jessica.

How the fuck you know that? But, yeah, Jessica.

She caught me off guard when I saw her sittin' there.

She say somethin' to you?

Nah, not at all, but I could tell by her face she recognized a nigga.

She didn't say a word for some reason.

She still at the hospital now?

Yeah, she's still there with Rafe.

Which hospital?

- King's City. - I'm on my way.

- On your way for what? - [ dial tone beeps ]

[ scoffs ]

[ knocking ]

- Who is it? - It's me, Shane.

All right,

I got good news and I got bad news.

Shit, what happened?

You want the good or the bad?

Hit me with the good.

All right, the good news is I didn't hear nothin' about you.

- Yes! - Matter of fact, I didn't even hear nothin' about Mister.

Oh, thank you, Lord. There is a God.

But there is bad news.

Huh, it can't be that bad if you ain't hear nothin' about me.

- I don't know. - What happened?

[ sighs ]

All right, Rafe got shot last night.

Tsk, get the fuck out of here, man.

Rafe always got that thing on... him. Oh, shit.

[ Kane sighs ]

Fuck, yo. What the fuck did I do?

Is he dead?

[ sighs ] Not from what I know, man.

- [ phone buzzing ] - All I know is that he got shot last night.

This is my fault, yo.

Yo, Miz, I've been hittin' your phone for a minute.

Nah, I was on the train.

I just got out the train station.

- Where are you at? - I just now got to Flatbush.

You been to the block?

Nah. Why? What's up?

Yo, Rafe got shot last night.

What?!

- Where at? - He got shot on the block.

What hospital he at?

They sent him to King's City Hospital.

I'm headed over there right now.

All right, listen, me and Kane is on our way there right now.

If you get there before us, wait for us outside.

We comin' right now.

All right, cool.

- [ lock clicks ] - Come on. Get your key.

- Come on. - God, there's no pocket.

Come on.

Oh, shit.

We need to talk, Jess.

I ain't come here for no bullshit, but we need to talk.

Damon. Damon, what did you do?

Look, man, you comin' with me

'cause we seriously need to talk.

Damon, I'm not goin' anywhere with you!

Jessica, look! I'm not tryin' to hurt you.

I need you to come in this car

and talk to me, okay?

After you talk to me,

you can be on your way, okay?
