Omar wants to work
for Malcolm.

And even if he's sincere,
my feelings get in the way.

I believe in what Malcolm
is doing with all my heart.

But I'm not gonna lie to you,
Elise. I still love you.

The U.S. government trying
to intimidate me, even overseas.

It means I'm getting
under their skin.

Here, let me
share something with you.

- Oh, qu es eso?
- Coca na.

This shit ain't like duji,
man.

And if this Colombo motherfucker
landed the duji,

then we need to find
something else to sell.

Only rich white folks
buy that shit.

Just run the idea by Bumpy.

You won't be participating
in the next shipment.

The Corsicans have agreed
to make me their sole buyer.

If you want to sell any dope,
you're gonna have to buy from me

You're not talking

No, I'm not.

I am proud of you.

Getting out of the duji
business was the right move.

Both practically
and morally.

Without the duji, my other
businesses have suffered.

My relationship
with Jose Battle, it's suffered.

There are other growth
opportunities all around

if you really take a look.

What about
Palmetto Chemical?

That is a legitimate business
that can grow.

Mayme, it does well,
but it's a small concern.

Not if you get
a federal contract.

I have heard through Powell's
office that after the riots,

they're giving them out
to more black businesses.

They'll never give me
one of those.

We can try.

I got a criminal record.

Those kind of contracts
go out to white businesses

with political contacts.

I have contacts, too,
you know.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

- Got contacts?
- Yeah, I do, I do.

And a federal contract
could mean millions of dollars.

You're so sexy when
you say "millions." Hm.

Maybe I'll surprise you.

You surprise me
all the time.

[Colombo]
Bumpy fucking Johnson.

His pride, it gets in the way
of his business sense.

You ain't got
that blind spot.

That's why you're here?

Look, I got
the French connection.

I mean, if Bumpy Johnson doesn't
want to deal with me, fine.

But what's to stop you?

You could flood the Barrio with
this stuff and make millions.

Bumpy's my partner.

I don't stab my partner
in the back.

I respect that.

Loyalty is everything
in our world.

But, Jose, so is survival.

My father used to say,

"Un hombre no es un pl tano."

"A man is not a banana."

You don't just eat the fruit

Here's my offer.

Last year, I made $12 million
on my car operation alone.

Come in with me.

Bring your own hombres.

50-50 on whatever
you bring in.

Plus the heroin.

Very generous.

And a 300K cash bonus
just for the opportunity

to earn your friendship.

I appreciate the offer.

But I must say no.

Who can afford cocaine
in the Barrio?

It's getting doled out

Exactly.
It's impossible to get in bulk.

Right, Junie?

The Latins smuggle it in
by the ounce.

Ain't no real money
in that.

But if we can get it in bulk,
I think we can move it, Bump.

Plus, cocaine don't turn folks

No, it's a pick-up.

This dude

No one mentioned

I am very grateful

Eh.

Where'd you hear that?

Yeah, I heard it from one
of Battle's men

over at Casa Havana.

Said it was some kinda
hush-hush operation.

Del, get me Carlo Gambino
on the phone.

I wanna set a meeting.

Yeah.

So you've owned
Palmetto Chemical for 10 years,

and you employ 50 people?

Yes.

I expanded the number of workers
so that the government

would deem us capable
of a large contract.

Yes. I see.

Mr. Marshall?

My specialty is evaluating
procurement contracts,

and a sudden rise
in the workforce

could be flagged,
Congressman.

Oh. How many people
really work there?

Oh, I don't know.

It's probably closer to 20.

Well, then let's put down 30,
uh, to be safe.

I mean, they know
when awarding these contracts

to small businesses
that they are allowed

to expand their workforce.

More jobs for Harlem.

- That's wonderful.
- Wonderful.

I'm not sure creating facts
is a good idea.

Guess who gets
these extermination contracts

from the government.

The mob. The white mob.

The Luccheses,
the Gambinos.

Why not let a Black mobster
get it for once?

So now you're advocating equal
opportunity to Black mobsters?

I am advocating jobs for
unemployed Harlem workers

by any goddamn means necessary!

As a lawyer, I have to recommend
you wash your hands of this.

Is Palmetto Chemical

a legitimate business,
or is it not?

It is very legitimate.

It's done legitimate work
in Harlem for years.

And according to rumor,
laundered money as a drug front.

Can you prove that?

No.

Submit the application.

And, Mayme, good luck.

[Lombardi] Stella, that's not
how things work in our world.

You're given an order,
you follow it.

What, you're telling me
like I haven't lived

my entire life
in this world?

Eh, you know where the guys
who don't follow orders are?

The bottom
of the Gowanus Canal.

No, guys botch jobs
all the time.

That's not me.
I'm sorry.

When your father says,
"Take care of Colombo,"

I take care of Colombo.

Nothin' I can do
about it.

I can't be responsible
for another person's death.

[sighs]

Hey.

I know you've been
through a lot.

What happened to Ernie
was awful.

But for what it's worth,
it was very painful for me, too.

- It was?
- Yeah.

You guys just got married.

Plus, I liked Ernie.

I didn't want to off him.

But I had to do it
'cause I had an order.

Your father, after he gave me
the order, changed his mind,

tried to get to me,
but it was too late.

I thought my father
killed Ernie.

No.

Your father
tried to stop it.

Breaks my heart.

Breaks
your father's heart, too.

Truth is, Stell, this Colombo,
he could never be trusted.

I advised your father
against it.

I think Colombo's gonna make
a play for Harlem,

all the while
playing nice with Chin.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Now, don't you want
to protect your dad,

after all you put him through?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay, here's the plan.

Now, it's just you and him
in the office, right?

He's got guys outside,
but yeah, it's just me and him.

Okay.

I'm gonna tell Colombo
I'll be by about 7:00 p.m.

with instructions
from Chin.

When I walk in,
you walk out.

Say, uh -- I don't know.

Say you have to go to the
ladies' room or something.

Before you know it, it's over.
Boom.

The men outside won't even
hear the shot

over the fucking car crushers
you got in the junkyard.

[Bumpy] We've known each other
for a long time, Gambino.

It hasn't
always been peaceful.

True.

A lot of ups and downs,
huh? [laughs]

We haven't talk just
the two of us for years.

The pleasure of that being
that you and I,

we don't, uh,
bullshit each other.

Want some walnuts?

No, thanks.

That's right.

We don't bullshit
each other.

We never have.

Which brings me to this --

Wh-- What the fuck
do you want?

I mean,
Colombo tells me that

you're no longer interested
in narcotics.

Ask me, that's your --
uh, your lifeblood.

I got a different agenda
right now.

My, uh, partner,

Jose Battle --
he's got a plan to --

to kill Castro.

What's that gotta do
with me?

I hear that the CIA went to you
back in '63

to try to take Castro out.

Battle wants your help.

I mean, it comes
with a huge payday,

and if everything works out
as planned,

you get Havana and all
of your casinos back.

Why are you all of a sudden
brokering political hits?

'Cause I just cut a deal
with the CIA.

They're in with Battle,
so I'm in with them.

Why fight the government
when you can partner with them?

Who's your point man
at the CIA?

"Wild Bill" Harvey.

Bill Harvey?
For real?

What, you know him?

Know him?

I mean, he was the guy.

He was
the -- the puppet master.

He tried to kill Castro
with poisoned wetsuits.

He'd do anything
to whack that guy.

He called it
Operation Mongoose. [laughs]

Harvey told me that you were
the guy to go to

to get details on
what fucked up the last time,

and how to try to
avoid it on the next.

[sighs]

Alright.

You got a few hours,
I'll lay it on you.

Mm.

But what a goat-fuck.

I got

Uh, pardon my intrusion,

Is, uh, Bumpy here?

No, he stepped out.

Please.
Can I offer you a drink?

No. Uh, thank you.

I wanted to come by personally
to let you know

that your application

Oh.

Did they say why?

Falsifying records.

It seems that they caught on

Well, what does this mean

A-Are we in trouble?
Am I?

Mayme,
I'm always in trouble.

Oh, God, you do so much good

I can't bring you down

I will never do anything
criminal again,

I swear it,
as God as my witness.

I just -- I pray to Jesus,
"Forgive me."

- Mayme --
- Will you forgive me?

Mayme, I don't think
you understand.

Riverside Refuse
got the contact.

They are run
by the Luccheses.

When they found out that
your bid was going to win,

they used
their corrupt connections

to sabotage
your application.

So it's not because I lied
on the documents?

No.

Some other liars
won this round.

The point is
to keep on fighting.

Yes, Congressman.

I don't like playing dirty
any more than you do,

but the Good Lord knows
what we're up against,

and the Good Lord, and myself,
expect to see you in the office

bright and early

Yes. We do.

Evening, gentlemen.

Bumpy.

On time, to the minute, I see.

Warm in here.

Let's get straight to it.

Were you able to acquire
the information

I requested about
Malcolm's visit to Africa?

About Malcolm X?

Yeah.

Well, I was happy to see

you and he and your daughter
met for lunch.

Yeah, I saw the photograph.

You guys have some real
long-range lenses there.

[laughs]
Well, yeah.

Welcome to working
with the CIA.

We got all the best shit.
Right, Jose?

Yeah, man.
Top notch.

What'd you get?

The question isn't
whether or not

I got information
from Malcolm.

The question is where you
got the audacity to think

that I would fuck over
my friend for cocaine.

You got a real
live wire here, Jose.

He surprises me
all the time.

Yeah, I get it.
I did the research.

You and Malcolm,
you're longtime friends.

The two of you
go way, way back.

We do.

Here's the situation.

I'm gonna get
that Africa information,

one way or, you know,
another way.

Is that so?

I just thought
it would be more pleasant

for Malcolm
and your daughter

to have you be the one
that extracted it.

That's very kind
of you, Bill,

but, uh, I've done
some research, too.

Is that so?

Yeah, about your failed
assassination attempts

against Castro.

Poisoned ice cream,
poisoned wetsuits,

the, uh, exploding cigar.

[laughs]

Think you called it, uh,

Operation Mongoose.

It's a real long game,
Johnson.

If I was you,
I'd be very careful.

You even got the Italian mob
to help you,

which would
make headline news

if I were suddenly
to disappear.

See, I got connections
with the press

through my friend
Congressman Adam Clayton Powell.

Let's just say it's

So keep the fuck away
from Malcolm,

we'll sell the cocaine,

you'll get 25%,

Malcolm X is as much of
