Hey man, I don't want any trouble.

Marcus Blades.

Pleased to see you, Mr. Blades. I'm Miss Nekkur...

Sophia Nekkur...

What brings you here today?

Do you know why you’re here today?

May I call you Marcus?

So, let’s start at the beginning...

Tell me, what happened to your wife?

One for each of you. Thank you so much

The only way to eat a good meal.

Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

He’s the one that deals drugs.

The suit... corporate.

He calls the shots.

On our anniversary, I want you to know that I love you.

Marcus. I love you, too.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

Make a wish.

It's already come true.

Can I open?

Marcus? Are these...

the ones I saw in the store?

Baby...

That would mean so much. They're beautiful. Thank you.

Okay, I'm going to have to go touch my makeup.

Maybe we don't even need to count this.

Maybe we should.

Maybe we do.

It’s going down now!

No! No! FREEZE!

Don't even move or I'll blow your fucking head off.

Stay still. You might hit me.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

And you became a transporter?

I'd like to call it a courier.

Brother. My brother. Hey, man. You already know what this is.

I need that wallet, that watch, and whatever's in that bag.

I don't want any trouble. Kill that.

You got invitation to the party. Now run the party goods.

Oh shit! We was just playing, brother.

We brothers! Just playing.

Oh shit! God damnit!

You shot me in my foot, man!

Oh shit!

Godamn.

Do you know how much these shoes cost?

You gentlemen have a nice day.

You know,

you thought I couldn't make it without you

but the truth is

I'm doing better.

Why do I keep on giving when you're giving nothing in return?

Why do I keep on playing with this fire when I keep on getting burned?

Why do I keep on loving you when it's obvious that you don't love me back?

Why do I keep on riding on this train? When it's off track. When it's off track

cause I don't need nobody else.

I can do bad by myself.

I can do better. I'm going to do better.

Better.

Better than you. I can do better. I can do much better.

Better than you. I can do better.

They say you never miss a good thing until it's already gone.

I guess you wasn't one of those good things because I'm better off alone.

Better off alone.

I tried to give you everything that I had to give, but you don't appreciate it.

That sounded good, Neva.

Are we finished yet?

I've been here all day. I'm starving. Can we get something to eat, please?

Okay, we will. Let's Let's lay this down one more time, Okay?

What are you guys doing here? This is a private session. You got to pay your time.

Hey, I'm crime, baby.

And crime don't pay.

Well, you going to have to pay to get up in this...

Try it.

I wouldn't mess with this guy.

Hey, I just want to speak to Neva.

Hi Neva.

Hi Neva. This is Cupcake. She's a big fan of yours.

Say hi to her.

Hi Neva.

I'm a big fan.

Neva,

let me tell you a story.

There was a singer that was popular all around the world.

You know what he told me?

He told me to go fuck myself,

but a week later

he died in his sleep.

So tragic.

Get out!

Okay. I'm late for lunch anyway.

Oh, by the way, make sure you call. You got 24 hours.

You're late.

Phone.

I know you got your hands on gun.

You have to use this

Payment for your work.

It’s there.

I keep in touch.

From Marcus

Cute

Today is for you the most extraordinary day to come. It is what you make of it.

And hopefully you make the most of it.

You have been given the most unique opportunity to go forth

into the day and being gifted with this

to help others to increase opportunity of improving their health

and with your expert guidance

that stems from your celebrated years of being

a collegiate and professional athlete and not only

the local not just regional not just

national but international world class level.

You are now able to pass on your wealth of experience to the next

few generations of hopeful amateur and prolevel athlete

at reaching their championship goal.

Wow.

- And a check included. - Hello.

Oh wow... damn! Voicemails. I hate them!

Listen, I knew you weren’t going to answer the damn phone.

Listen, irregardless, thank you for the gift.

Umm...

what can I say? My sister chose the right guy.

The right man.

Um, yeah.

You don't know what you've done for this whole community with this gift.

Such an abundant amount.

I appreciate it, all right.

If you need anything ever,

just make a phone call.

I'll be right there.

All right. Love you, brother. Take care.

God bless you, sir.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Good afternoon, Mr. Nelson. Good afternoon.

So, does everybody want a coffee?

Sure, I have a cup of coffee. Yeah, coffee sounds real.

Jody, bring me a cup of coffee, will you?

Well, let's get started. Tell me about uh

how we're doing with our Germany operations.

Well, we continue to generate 60% on all exports. Despite the drop in the euro

I expect that we're going to continue the same.

Get that up to 75%. Okay?

How we doing in Macau?

Well, we still run 23 of the 33 casinos there,

but uh revenue was slightly down last quarter by about four percent

Four percent?

Well, we can make that up by acquiring five of the ten remaining casinos.

I don't think they'll have a problem with that.

I'll leave in tonight to take care of it.

How's our fighter doing?

He just made his 20th defense of his title.

Live gate... pay per view, broke records.

Twenty defenses... he’s good!

He's the best in the world right now, pound-for-pound.

Well, he's going to lose his next fight to a 25th ranked underdog,

and then he's going to lose a rematch.

I just love underdogs.

Yes, Mr. Nelson.

Ozzie

Fucking hate when he calls me Ozzie.

How we doing with the entertainment business?

We've had a few glitches.

There's this one keyboard player who wants out of his contract,

but I think he'll be coming around though,

especially after he realizes that he's going to have

a hard time taking that keyboard out of his ass.

That's funny.

Yeah. And then there's Neva.

Neva. Neva, she is so beautiful.

Amazing voice. She's a real talent.

She still refuses to sign the management contract.

Really? Well, if she doesn't call you back today,

we'll just have to find another way to make her sign

and agree to our services.

Well, what if she doesn't sign? Have you considered that?

What are you going to do? Kill her?

Owwww! Geez! What the fuck is wrong with you?

You know, money makes the world go around,

but money isn't everything.

But it’s a hell of a lot better than not having money.

Good day,

Daryl. I don't know how much longer I'm going to do this.

What do you mean? Eat?

No silly, I mean singing.

It's just a lot of pressure. Stop talking nonsense.

I can't go shopping. I can't eat in peace.

I can't do anything without drawing a crowd.

I'm not in a zoo on display.

That's just the price you pay for fame, Neva.

Neva, can I have your autograph, please!

Sure.

Thank you!

And then there's that Osborne guy.

He's really pressuring me to sign his management contract.

Look,

I'm your manager, okay? Nothing's going to happen to you.

You wanted this, I made sure you got it, all right?

Mom and dad will be proud of you.

Plus, alls we have is each other.

Don't worry, I'll increase security, whatever it takes, okay?

You affect a lot of people. You affect their

lives. They love your music. You have fans.

Think about that. You just can't stop.

There's a lot riding on this.

What?

Will there be anything else? Yeah. Well, maybe a to go box.

Anything for you love?

Ok. I’ll bring it now with your check.

You're going to be fine. Trust me.

I guess you’re right. Of course I’m right. I’m always right.

You just can't stop singing, you would die on the inside.

You have a gift. You really know how to talk to a woman.

If you weren't my brother, I'd marry you.

And if you weren't my sister, I would’nt have to pay for his meal

Welcome aboard, Mr. Nelson. We're on time for New York.

Vanessa, could you get me that portfolio?

Wow. It looks like my stock's been taking a pounding lately.

The days young still, Max.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I really don't need to do this right now.

I could use my phone, though. Could you hand me the phone?

You're not supposed to be using this up here.

I know, but you know, I own the airplane.

I own the airport. I can even fly this plane if I want.

You don't even have a pilot's license.

When has a legality ever kept me from doing anything I wanted to do?

How true.

Fuck! Who is this?

Ozzie, its Mr. Mr. Nelson, how's your day going so far?

Things are doing really great for me, Mr. Nelson.

Better than some people.

Tell me, have you heard from our beautiful Neva lately?

No sir, I haven't.

Ozzie, just have her picked up.

Yes, sir.

But this time, have somebody else do it. We can't

afford to be connected with this in any way.

Yes, sir.

And Ozzie, when it's all done, take care of any loose ends.

I understand, Mr. Nelson.

Fucking hate when he calls me Ozzie.

I swear, some days, this guy makes me tremble with disgust.

What about him?

Man, fuck him!

I thought you was giving him till next week.

Man, fuck next week. Fuck next week! Fuck next week! Fuck next week!

Fuck next week...

Hello? I told you never call me this line!

I have the man for the job.

You know, time is a funny thing. Love comes together

and sometimes love grows apart. Right? Right.

It's always funny how love has a way of making

you remember the best of a terrible situation.

Check it. Not another sleepless night. Toss and turn till the morning.

Holding my pillow real tight. Ain't no love insight. Yes,

AC bumpin just right, lottery numbers ain’t right

yet another song to write. I know she’s gone and life moves on, but...

all of these memories, my heart wasn’t prepared for...

all of the love we shared, I did my best to be there for...

just as my heart had begun to love and trust again...

my heart makes memories of tender ones...

I have job for you.

And so you became a mercenary?

Not in that sense of the word.

She's some kind of celebrity, isn't she?

Just pick her up and deliver to address.

Simple $100,000 job.

You will only have two guards.

Remember, you don't get to kill anyone this time.

This sounds great. I told you this song was going to be the bomb!

I'm so excited. I want to sing it at the concert tonight.

You know this song's waiting for your next album.

Yeah, but um, maybe I could sing it at the end of the last set.

Hold on. Hold on.

Yeah, hello?

Yeah, she's going to need the extra security outside of her dressing room.

Yeah. Two man detail.

Two man detail.

Just a little too close to me. Boy, you need to back up so I can breathe.

It's getting hot. So hot. So hot in here. It's getting hot. So, hot,

Neva, Neva, Neva!

You're going to have a great performance tonight. One of your best!

You think so?

Oh, I know so. And the crowd is going to love you!

You all right? You good? Yeah.

Hey, little sister, you know what? You're going to make millions!

Proud of you, little sister.

Thank you, Darryl, for everything.

You really took care of us after mom and dad died.

I know you sacrificed your whole career for mine.

And you know what? I'd do it again.

But enough about that. Where is the after party?

Hotel.

Cool. Tell you what,

I'm going to send a driver for you right after the show

And I’ll see you there, okay? Okay... see you there.

I'm a star.

All right, everybody. Are you ready to get up out of your seats tonight?

Yeah. All right. Put your hands together

for a band coming all the way from Sacramento, California.

Ostrich Theory!!!

Neva babe, it’s showtime.

Your love is dangerous

So dangerous,

adventurous, so marvelous.

I know I should settle down with a good guy.

I know I should stay away from the hood guy,

but I'm gone. I'm so gone.

How could it feel so right?

When I know it's wrong

Your love is dangerous. So dangerous.

Yes. I'm attracted to them bad boys

cuz deep down I'm a bad girl. Yeah. Yeah.

I know I should have settled down with them square guys.

Not the ones in the streets, I don't really care, guys.

I'm so gone. I'm so wrong.

How could it feel so right?

When I know it’s wrong.

We can make love all night. All night.

But we can make our home. Our home...

At the tone, please record your message.

Hey, Neva, it's Darryl.

Hey, uh, I'm headed down to the party.

You going to be there, right?

All right. I'll see you there.

Seattle’s gonna kick butt all year... Seattle’s...

Where you going, mate?

Just want an autograph.

No one gets in.

Hit the elevator.

I don't want any trouble.

Leave.

Hi. You’re my limo driver, right? Did you kill anyone?

We’re going to the after party, right?

Did you kill anyone?

Where are we going? Right over there.

He’s here.

Kill him right after we have her.

And let me know when it's done.

Got it.

You know her? Don't let her take me.

Hand her over.

Let's go.

Look out.

How's that working for you, fella?

Not too good.

Out of bullets?

How much you want to bet that I'm not?

I don't want any trouble. Drop it.

Kick it.

Just in case.

Bitch, I’m Cupcake.

You know these people?

Yeah. She was with that Osborne guy

a couple of weeks ago at the studio.

Osborne?

Yeah.

Thought I told you to call me back.

Still bleeding. Are you okay?

Am I okay? Look at my suit.

Just lost a grand.

Damn! That was fourty grand!

Come.

Yo! What's your fucking problem, man?

Need to borrow your car. You got a problem with it?

Get in.

Other side!

Put it on my tab.

Take me to my hotel.

No

For your safety, you’re coming with me on my boat.

- My safety? - Yeah, your safety.

Damn, I’m getting old.

I need to call my manager. I know he's really worried about me.

Can't let you leave yet.

Why?

They haven't paid me for my job. And in this business, I always get paid.

Oh, really? Kidnapping me was a job?

I don't even know your name. It's because I didn't give it to you.

I have money. I'll pay you to let me go.

Whoever wanted you kidnapped still wants you kidnapped.

And whoever wants me dead, still wants me dead.

And I'm going to find... You're just going to use me?

Whatever it takes to get my money.

Damn.

You know, it's a lot of ballers, a lot of players out there.

Get up.

Do it, you know.

What

106 times. Do you know what that number means?

That's the number of times you've missed the morning briefings.

I am sick and tired of your disregard for policy and procedure, Jericho.

I should suspend your ass!

Then suspend me. That way I can take my ass

back to bed. Otherwise, tell me what's going on.

Everybody's down by the warehouse on Second Street. Some big car explosion.

So... Here’s the file you wanted Chief.

Thanks.

So, what else? That's it? Anything else?

Yeah.

Get the fuck out of my office.

I ask you never come here!

Hey, relax, old man. I'm just here for some information. What?

You know that guy you sent out last night?

Where does he live? I got something for him.

You can give to me.

Really? Yeah.

Go give it to him, Tiger.

So, who is he and where is he?

Wait a minute.

I don't have a minute.

Hey, Ozzie. What is this? The hire got away with Neva

and I can't find him. Uh, you never let me down before,

so I'm not losing faith in you, but I need you to take care of this.

I swear one day I think I'm going to have to

shove this driver right up that young man's ass.

Hate that motherfucker.

Hey, I need you to pay someone a visit.

Better, better than you...

Boy you can't complete...

You know the drill.

Jericho. Jericho, that's enough.

You do this every week.

Do what every week?

You come into my bar, you get drunk, you get

into a fight, and then you fuck my shit up.

Look, Jericho, I think it's time for you to go home and get some sleep.

That punk ass bitch cop that tried to throw me in jail for no apparent reason.

Him?

Oh... shit

I guess if he threw you in jail for no reason, he must have had a reason.

Think you scare me, punk ass cop?

Bet you're not so tough with your gun and your badge on.

I'm going to fuck you up.

Aha

When I get done, I’m gonna buy y'all around. Just hold on.

Thank you. Can I use your phone? The phone is over there.

Right over there. See it? There you go.

Neva?

Darryl

I'm I'm in San Francisco off of Delauncey somewhere.

Okay, stay right there. I'll send a limo to you right now.

Okay. Bye.

Did Darryl send you? Yes, he did.

Yes, I have the song bird.

Marcus, what happened?

Trying to find some cat named Osborne.

Osborne. I know Osborne.

I heard of Osborne.

I know where he be, know where he hang out at and how we can find him.

Well, you know he blowed up a few things

before and uh he's a pretty tough character.

You know where he's at?

Max Nelson

Nelson Towers. He's got killers on every floor!

Marcus,

you really miss your wife. Yes?

If you had the chance, would you be with her?

I'll miss you.

Marcus, what are you willing to sacrifice?

I don't know.

I went to see my mentor, but he already knew what I was going to do.

I knew you'd be coming,

Have a seat.

I hear things. I know what you do for a living.

You think I'm a stranger to what you're doing right now?

Your wife being killed,

I understand. Don't you know I've been there before?

It's disappointing to me. And if you continue on this path,

you will lose your soul.

I love you, Marcus.

Stay still... you might hit me.

Here’s the file you wanted.

Seen Jherico?

Mm mmm

Send him to my office.

Look, Neva, my boss there will take care of you.

Just sign on the dotted line.

No.

No.

Send in our guest.

Darryl, what are you doing here?

I will sign this contract if I were you.

Darryl, I'm not signing it.

How could you?

We had to get money to keep you out front.

Not without getting a gratuitous cut for myself.

It’d be in your best fucking interest to sign this contract.

Fuck you Darryl!

You said she was gonna sign it!

I’m fucking tired of this bullshit!

Oh Darryl! Darryl!

Well, what was I supposed to do?

You know Ozzie, that wasn’t very nice.

I hate when you call me Ozzie!

I can’t begin to apologize for the death of

your brother because of this imbecile. Imbecile?

Who are you calling an imbecile?

You know Ozzie,

got to tell you, there was a time when I was in the military,

and I learned, that there’s a lot more that you need,

in fact,

Give you an example,

this doesn’t work without this... I need to teach you about respect.

You can't do anything without me.

Send in the beast.

Ozzie, I want you to meet my number one draft pick.

Tiger, you want a job?

Yeah, what’s up?

I need a favor.

I'm going to need an army.

You need an army? You know I was in the Marines. What's happening now?

I can't tell you.

Damn. It’s always something. Listen,

I got a guy named Babu. He'll be sitting in the silver car. All right?

Let me know if you need anything else. You know I got you. One love.

Nice suit.

My friend,

I'm dressed to kill.

Hello. May I help you? Yes. I was wondering if

you can direct me to Mr. Nelson's office, please.

Do you have an appointment?

Yes, I do.

And your name, sir? Marcus Blades.

I'm sorry, sir. I don't see your name. What time was your appointment?

Now.

. Yes?

You have a visitor to see you. He says it's of an urgent matter.

Well, who is it?

He says his name is Marcus Blades.

Blades? Huh.

Okay. Um, I'll just send someone down to meet him.

Mr. Nelson said he will send someone down to escort you.

Can I get off early?

Nice suit.

Drop it.

I just bought that tie.

Come on, bitch!

Fight me like a man.

Ughh

You kick like a bitch!

You didn't think it would be that easy, did you?

Looks like you're going to break my glasses.

Bitch!

You for real?

Marcus Blades.

Stop. Stop. Beast. That's enough. That's enough.

Oh, did that hurt, Mr. Blades?

You have any last words?

The time for talking

is over.

You really don't know why you are here.

Think about it, Marcus.

You did what you did out of love.

Just walk through the door.

Marcus...

It's okay. It's okay. Come home baby
