I was 26 years old

and not even four months out the joint

and I was back to throwing bricks at the chain gang

as the old folks used to say.

Meaning I was hustling with little regard for the law.

As I lied bed in a fleabag hotel room

with a broken air conditioner

and no immediate plans for the future,

I dreamed as all hustlers do.

If I could just hit that one lick, damn,

I would get out the game.

You woke?

I am now.

What you thinking 'bout?

Just trying to come up with a game plan.

Gotta get on my feet.

Well, you wanna go another round?

Shit, hell yeah.

That's what I was selling.

Oh.

When'd you get out, bro?

Yo.

We seen Calvin's car downstairs

and the receptionist said that he would be here.

Nah, Cal out of town.

I'm using his car.

Yo, my cousin Tony from California.

This L, man.

Fuck.

What's up?

Just you know handling business, man.

That's it.

Crack?

Yeah, crack.

Yo, where my shit?

Man, what shit you talking 'bout?

Nigga, before I got locked up I gave you some work.

You owe me 10 stacks, nigga.

Look, L.

Look what?

I stopped past your stepmother's house.

Nobody answered the door.

What the fuck that got to do with my money?

What you got on you?

I don't really got.

Empty them pockets, nigga.

Come on, nigga, run the pockets.

Where the rest?

I swear to god--

- Swear to God what? - That's all I got, man.

That's all I got.

Okay.

Get on the ground, nigga.

What the fuck?

Get your ass on the ground. You too, big man.

Come on, man.

Get your ass on the ground.

Come on, man.

Come on.

Fake ass Biggie Smalls looking ass nigga.

Peel.

Yeah nigga, peel.

L, come on, man.

Shut the fuck up, nigga, or I'll blow your head off.

Give me that shit in your pocket too, nigga.

Give me the money.

He owe me money, nigga you owe me money, too.

What the fuck is that on your boot? You strapped?

- What? - Throw the gun over there.

Hurry up.

After a high speed chase

and the police heavy on my ass,

I knew I needed to dodge the car.

So I pulled up into the mall.

That would be my escape route

How you doing?

Good, how are you?

Okay, all right.

Just.

Keep the change.

You never saw me.

Thanks.

Next, my real plan was to change clothes.

I need to change my identity.

I know the cops are on my heels.

I could feel them like skin on my bones.

I need to get away.

I had no intentions of going back to the chain gang.

Soon as I stepped out the clothing room, there she was.

My heart skipped a beat.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

There was Hope, my childhood sweetheart.

I needed her to rescue me.

She would be my escapism.

She could possibly get me out of my jam.

Hey, hey, Hope, hey.

Please. - Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

You gotta help me.

Just stand there please, please.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, did an armed black man run in here?

Okay, that's enough, no.

Not again.

Ma'am, are you slow or something?

Excuse me.

Black man. Have you seen a black man?

I said no.

He's in here.

Stop following me, Life.

Hope, you gotta help me.

Stop follow.

Go, I've helped you enough.

Just this time, I promise.

Shit.

Thank you, Hope.

Don't thank me.

Just tell me where the hell I can drop you off at.

Man, I'm sorry for what happened back there,

but I promise you that shit wasn't my fault.

I just gotta get the hell up out of town.

No, you just gotta tell me where to drop you off at

or I could drop you on the side of this road.

Damn, we ain't seen each other in 10 years

and this the best you can do?

I thought you'd at least be happy to see me.

Happy to see you?

If I never laid eyes on you again, it would be a blessing.

You're never gonna change, Life.

Ever.

Were you sure have changed since high school.

Still beautiful though.

This is none of your concern.

Aight.

Where can I put these?

Out the window, Life.

I gotta protect myself.

God, just put them in there.

Shit is crazy.

So where you headed?

Atlanta.

I got two more semesters before I finish law school.

Law school?

Damn, girl.

You doing it big I see.

Yeah.

But you always said you was gonna be a lawyer,

so I'm not even surprised.

Why were all those police back there following you?

Did you kill somebody?

Didn't you just get out of prison?

How you know I was in prison?

You been keeping tabs on me?

Please.

Just tell me what kind of trouble you're in this time.

These two guys came to my hotel room

to score some drugs from Cal.

One of the dudes owed me money.

The other nigga, I don't even know who he was,

but I figured if the nigga owe me money,

I'm just taking what's mine.

I ain't think that shit was a crime.

No, it's a bad decision.

Shit, who you telling?

Come to find out the big dude was an undercover cop.

You robbed an undercover cop?

And the setup wasn't even for me.

They were looking for Calvin.

Being an idiot is no excuse to break the law.

Now tell me where do you wanna get out at.

Atlanta.

Atlanta?

Man, you can just drop me off

at any little motel or whatever once we get there,

but I gotta get the fuck up out of here.

What I did back there was wrong.

I should've never helped you.

You got issues I can't even begin to get involved with.

Now for the last time please just tell me

where to drop you off at.

I'm not going back to prison, Hope.

And don't say Atlanta.

I can't believe I got myself into this shit.

At least let me pay for the gas.

That's the least I can do.

And I'll get us some food while you rest.

You look tired.

Authorities are still searching

for a convicted murderer fleeing arrest.

Your radiator has a hole in it and your motor is cracked.

You ain't know all this before?

I was told as long as I keep antifreeze in my car,

it would hold up.

You got over 250,000 miles on your car, man.

You see this red light right here?

- Yeah. - How long has that been on?

It's been on since I got the car.

It's about to be a long, difficult ass ride to Atlanta

in this raggedy ass car.

Raggedy?

I've made this trip so many times.

Don't even try to call my car raggedy.

Yeah, I find that hard to believe.

Well believe it, mister.

Stupid ass.

What?

What happened to you?

What you mean what happened to me?

Your dad, the ministry, his people, the church.

What happened to you? - My dad is a piece of shit

like the rest of them fake ass preachers.

I got a gang of illegitimate bastard brothers

and sisters running round here

from him baptizing his dick in half the congregation.

He's still your father.

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Okay.

You know.

You the only girlfriend that I ever had

that genuinely enjoyed volunteering at soup kitchens

and helping the homeless and shit like that.

Yes, I did.

You really like that kind of stuff, huh?

Mm hm.

You all about helping.

Help except I don't let people smoke in my car.

Nasty.

Well shit.

Your car smokes.

Your engine smokes.

Your radiator smokes. Why the hell I can't smoke?

Stop talking 'bout my car, man.

She's a hell of lot more reliable than you are.

Yeah, I said it.

Give me a chip.

Do you have a flashlight anywhere in here?

I think there's one in the trunk.

'Cause your engine is probably about to blow.

The check engine light has been on for the last 45 minutes.

Hopefully if we give it some rest, it'll start back up.

Great, that's what I need

just to be stranded here with you, right.

If you want, you can walk.

I saw a gas station a few miles back.

The car stopped again

and this time I'm having second thoughts, but then again,

I need to go and find out what destiny awaits for me.

You just never know.

Leaving one city and breaking in another one.

But not just that.

You never know what Hope might have in store for me.

Maybe we can rekindle some things that were in the past.

Yeah, your engine's definitely running hot.

It's freezing in here.

My feet are frozen.

Let me see your feet.

What?

Give me your feet.

No.

Girl, get me them big country ass feet.

Come on, I got you.

Okay.

I'm warning you.

Are you sure?

I'm sure but I'm having reservations.

You been kicking bags of--

All right, you wanted to do it.

Okay.

Where'd you learn how to do that?

Prison?

The prison joke stops.

Where? But where did you learn how to do that?

Let's just say--

Not in prison right?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay sorry.

Okay, okay, okay.

Hands where I can see 'em.

Open the window.

What you doing out here in the middle of the night, boy?

Nothing sir, we had car problems and the car broke down.

You sure is pretty.

Stop.

I been away a long time.

Hope, get the gun.

What'd you say, boy?

Nothing, sir.

I said put your hands where I can see them.

Okay, all right.

We need to teach the both of you a lesson.

She's got those nice lips.

You got nice eyes, too.

We should tie 'em both up.

Have a little bit of F-U-N.

Elmo, you been locked away too long,

but you got a good idea.

Go back to the truck.

Get the knife and crowbar.

No, no, no, sir, sir, please look.

I got some money on me, all right. I got a lot of money.

You can take it all.

Just please don't hurt the girl.

You got money, huh?

Yeah, we got.

Life.

Get the fuck off him.

Now get off of him.

Life.

No.

Now, missy.

Get back.

Back the fuck up.

Get on the ground.

Please.

Get up please.

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

Don't do this.

No, no, baby please don't.

No, no.

Fuck.

You.

Ever since I laid eyes on you,

everything that could go wrong has.

Me?

No, no, no. Don't blame this shit on me.

No, no, no, no, you hold up.

I didn't want you in my car in the first place.

I don't wanna be stranded with you.

I want to go home.

Hold on, some cops spotted us.

Pretend to be happy.

How you doing, officer?

Shit.

Shit.

Your ass need a new car, man.

I need, no.

I don't need anything.

None of this happened until you brought me into this mess.

Your mess, Life.

I'm tired.

I need a bath.

I wanna go home.

I wanna be left alone.

Hope, look man.

We five hours outside of Atlanta.

We can sleep at the hotel we passed a few blocks back

and you can get some rest while we get the car repaired.

I'll call a tow truck.

I'm not sleeping in the same room as your sorry ass.

Don't flatter yourself, sweetheart.

You not even my type no more.

I like bad bitches.

Ha ha.

So wack.

You always just creep into dudes' rooms?

You know they got a name for that right?

I couldn't sleep.

I just kept thinking about those white guys and.

Well you probably should go back to bed.

Got a long day ahead of us tomorrow.

I'm gonna go back to bed now.

So I'll see you in the morning if that's cool.

Hey.

I just wanted to let you know

that I really appreciate everything you did for me today.

And I am trying to change but it's hard.

It's not harder than what you make it.

I wish I could go back and change things.

I wish I never hurt you.

I wish I wasn't suck a jinxy man.

Sorry.

Yeah, you got me.

On that note, I'm gonna go.

It's a little much.

No stop, stop, no.

Hello.

Hey baby, I fixed the car. You ready to bounce?

Yeah, just give me like a minute.

I gotta a shower.

Hey Hope look, I got a surprise for you.

That's you.

That's your new whip.

Have you lost?

Where's my car?

This is your car.

Let me get.

I had a 2012 gray Ford Focus.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Not no more.

Took that shit to the junkyard

and got $500 and bought you this.

You deserve it for what you did yesterday.

I know damn well you did not sell my car.

You went in my purse and took my ID

and bought this shit in my name, Life?

You just gon' have to take this back, Life.

I'm not playing with you.

Hope, come on, man.

You shouldn't have did this.

It's a lot of things I shouldn't have done but I did.

You shouldn't have bought me this car.

How am I 'bout to pay you back for this?

You already paid me for what you did for me yesterday.

Feel like I'm falling in love with you all over again.

No.

I never meant for things to go that far.

Yes, you did.

You did, Hope.

You telling me you didn't feel what I felt like last night?

When we made love?

Life.

I have a man and I love him.

Things just got out of hand.

I'm sorry.

You think?

You're hurting my arm.

Fuck it.

Probably some bitch ass nigga anyway.

Move.

Oh my.

You bought all this stuff?

Look, I shouldn't have did what I did last night.

It got out of hand, Life.

Out of hand?

My penis just happened to fall in your vagina.

You say shit got out of hand.

That's an understatement.

Okay, I made a bad judgment.

A horrible judgment twice, okay.

Listen to me. I don't want you to think I'm trying

to take advantage of you.

I'll pay you back for the car.

$50 a week.

I'll figure it out.

Can we just be friends?

Friends?

Oh you wanna be friends?

Well check this out.

All my friends chase cat and bark at the moon.

So fuck no we can't be friends.

Shit is stupid, man.

So you think staying in a hotel

is the best way to budget your money, right?

Yeah, this cool.

This cool.

This will do.

So you said you were gonna get a job and save money.

How is living in a hotel

and spending your money helping you?

I don't understand.

So now you a counselor, too?

Can you just go get the damn hotel?

Always got shit to say.

Fucking come again.

Here.

Shit.

Why did she have to show up?

Hey, girl.

Well, well, well.

Say it ain't so.

My one and only alpha kappa alpha sister Hope

is on the down low with this fine ass.

Trina is a college sorority sister.

Mine and this is Life.

He's a very old childhood friend of mine.

If she made you any older, you would be dead, Life.

I know right.

We are actually on our way to an appointment.

Life has a job interview.

Right, L?

We gotta roll.

At four in the afternoon?

Exactly.

What kind of line of work are you in, Life?

Shit, you know.

Imports, exports.

Shit like that.

I like that.

Yeah.

What room are you staying in?

Maybe I'll come by later

and take you on a tour of the Hotlanta.

I like that.

I mean, 204.

I'll be seeing you.

Tell Marcus I said hey.

You are still seeing Marcus, aren't you?

As a matter of fact I am.

I'm actually gonna go see him

when I'm done dropping off Life.

Let's go.

Bye, Life.

Bye, y'all.

Bitch.

Yo, you better stay away from Trina.

Her family's heavy into drugs.

Her last boyfriend's doing time in federal prison.

And why you telling me all this?

Because I don't want you to get any more trouble.

Is that okay?

You still got feelings for me, don't you?

Admit it.

Yes, I do.

You were my first boyfriend.

My first love.

The first one to break my heart.

I remember the day that you showed up

on my family's doorstep and you got arrested.

I mean, why did you have to embarrass me

in front of my family like that?

And my dad was really starting to like you.

You really fucked it up.

I didn't do that on purpose, all right.

It was an accident.

I was on my way to your house to see you

and this couple was arguing.

Lady had an envelope full of $100 bills

and it fell out her purse.

I bent down to pick that shit up and hand to her

and once she saw me, she started screaming.

I just panicked and started running.

I just happened to be by your house.

I'm sorry.

Life.

Get it together.

You're gonna end up dead.

You're gonna end up in prison.

Just go to school, read a book.

Just do something positive with your life.

Well help me.

If you help me get my shit together, I promise you I will.

Get me some books.

Some self help books or Martin Luther King Jr.

Malcolm X, something.

I'll read it.

You help me and I'll get my life back right.

I promise.

I can't keep this.

I'll arrange to make payments.

Don't worry 'bout this car.

Just focus your energy on bringing me them books

when you come back tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Get out my car.

I'm not coming back tomorrow.

Yes, you will.

No, I'm not.

Get out of my car.

Aight.

Lord, this man.

Yeah, your ass will be back when you see that gun

and that money I left under your seat.

The thing about

being a hustler in a new city,

you just never know what you can encounter.

So myself I was walking on blind faith.

I didn't know anyone or anybody,

but I knew that I wanted to take over this city.

So the first thing I did was check out the territory

and the traps and that would lead me to my gold mine

when I intended to take full advantage of.

One thing was for sure.

Whenever you make an excursion into someone else's hood,

they know that you not from there

and that's where the problem starts.

It's almost like walking into a lion's den.

You just never know what you can encounter.

Prey end up being preyed upon

or the killers end up being killed.

And I wasn't trying to make any of those decisive decisions.

The one thing I knew, I was gonna take over this city.

I just needed to find out how.

Hey.

Y'all, leave him alone.

Leave him the fuck.

Get the fuck off him.

Leave, go 'head.

Go 'head.

Move.

Fuck.

Go, go.

You good?

They stole my money.

I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you.

Just don't come back around here.

I won't be able to save your white ass.

Just go, go, go.

My first introduction to the city.

There it was.

Nina Brown.

She was feisty as shit but I knew she would come in handy.

Hey what up, Nina?

Who the fuck is you?

Just a nigga looking for some smoke.

How you know my name?

So you got some or what?

Aight.

Big man, you got smoke?

- Tell them they on break. - But they.

Go 'head with your fat ass.

I ain't never seen you around here before.

You look like a dope boy.

I say nope to dope. That shit bad for your health.

Look around.

I been around here long enough

to know a dope boy when I see one.

Now either you a dope boy or the popo.

Well I damn sure ain't no popo.

Get your ass against the wall.

Spread your legs.

Got any drugs on you?

Got anything sharp?

No weapons?

Hey, get your ass back.

Get him.

Give me all your dope.

Give me all your money, I got you.

I'ma hold it all for you.

Uh uh.

What the fuck?

Get on the ground.

Get your ass back here. Get against that wall.

Get against the fucking wall.

Aight, aight.

- Hey, hands up. - Okay, aight.

You a drug dealer?

Hell nah.

Hands behind your back.

Spread your legs.

You got anything sharp?

Any weapons?

Anything that's gonna cut me? - Relax, relax.

Relax?

Leonard Green.

Computer says your clean.

Good thing I'm looking for real drugs.

I see your ass out here again,

I'm taking you to fucking jail.

You understand me?

Yes sir.

Fuck outta here.

Nigga, you owe me big time. I knew you was a drug dealer.

You don't know shit.

What you carrying a gun for?

I ain't stupid.

All right, talk to me, talk to me.

Where you from?

I'm from Miami.

Dade County.

Aye, how I get back to Decatur Street?

You from Miami?

There's a drought.

Ain't nobody got nothing nowhere.

I just saw you sell that white boy dope.

What I sold him was a piece of soap for $10.

Anyways, Stevy D and his dude's gonna be coming back

from Miami in a few days.

As fate would have it,

I entered a city and there was a drought,

and as Nina Brown gave me the game,

I found out that the kingpin was Stevy D.

Stevy D had the city in a yoke,

but I had intentions of taking it for him.

All I needed was just my one opportunity.

10 grand?

And sure as shit there it came.

Yo Nina.

Hey what's good?

Stevy D show back up yet?

Yeah.

Ayo, what's up, my nigga?

You looking for some work?

I'm Stevy D people.

What's good?

Whatever you looking for, I got you.

Yeah, yeah, whatever y'all need, he got you.

Yeah, that's right.

Aye man, what they call you, man?

Tone?

Yeah.

What you charge for a house? - A G.

But shit I could do 12 for 10 stacks.

Nigga, hell yeah.

Drop 28 in the water, get 27 back.

You sure this Stevy D's dope now?

My nigga, I already told you what it is.

Look man, the block is hot and I ain't got all day.

Got 12 O's left.

You trying to get this work or what?

Hell yeah, man.

Aight.

Meet me back right here in an hour.

Aight?

Hey little mama, let me holla at you for a second.

I got something for you.

Aight, look.

No, no, you got an ounce for me.

You told me to get out the car.

You had something for me.

Man, look.

I'ma be back here in one hour.

If them niggas get here, before I get back,

tell they ass to wait.

What if Stevy D and his boys return?

Man, shut up.

Make sure I don't get shot.

Keep your mouth closed.

Stop it.

Mind your business.

All those stories we'll get

to today in the news, but we're gonna start in Miami

where authorities are still on the lookout

for a man who assaulted a police officer

and stole a black Mustang and got away.

Police have no suspects in custody

and there were no eyewitnesses to the crime.

Damn.

Dre didn't snitch on me.

May I come in?

I'm harmless.

Do you wanna frisk me?

Enter at your own risk.

You all right?

Yeah, thought you was Hope.

I think I can be of service to you.

Service?

I think you need my services.

Trust me.

Square ass Hope has no idea what you been doing.

And besides, she's got a man of her own now.

You come here running from something.

I know your kind.

I've seen it before.

You wanna make money, lots of it?

I can help you.

You know those things are bad for your health?

So is coming to this town selling fake dope

and shooting up people.

How you know about that?

Nina Brown used to work for my last boyfriend Big Mike.

I got him his connection.

Showed him how to make millions.

I can do it for you, too.

And why would you do that for me?

Hm?

What's in it for you?

Simple.

I wanna be rich.

And.

I kinda like your swag.

Your handsome.

A legitimate hustler.

My last boyfriend wouldn't listen.

Now he's doing time in prison.

Don't you think you're moving a little too fast?

Either that or you're moving too slow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow down, baby.

Tell you what.

You sexy as fuck.

So how 'bout you just put a price on that kitty

and then it'll be included.

No.

Why would you hit it and quit it

when you can stay and play?

Shit.

Dre was looking for Cal.

Fuck, come on.

Come on.

Fuck.

What's wrong?

Damn phone dead.

Get my purse. I got a phone in there.

It's on the sofa.

Give me my damn purse.

They was looking for Cal.

Yo, where the fuck you at, nigga?

You have no idea.

Yo, I knew something not right.

You introduced me to Dre .

Remember we finally live it up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow down with all that shit, man.

And if you think I'm lying, you got me fucked up right now.

And don't you ever threaten me.

Where you at?

I'm in Atlanta on the east side.

Why?

I'ma pay them a visit.

Anyway, I come up there to visit you

Okay.

Let's get married.

I love you.

I love you, too, but we've had this conversation before.

You know I feel like we're rushing things.

You agreed to move in with me if I found a job.

If I'm good enough to shack with,

I think I'm good enough to marry.

No, I never agreed to move in.

I said I would consider moving in if the timing was right

and we were on the same page.

Now that I found a job, I can take care of you.

Let's get married.

I'm tired of this women liberation crap.

Okay Marcus if you haven't realized it's the 21st century.

Okay women are independent.

Self sufficient.

What?

What are you gonna say?

It's a man's world.

It's not.

We're not barefooted cave women.

It is a man's world though.

You sound--

Hope, Hope, Hope.

Why are we even having this conversation again?

Why are you here?

Why am I here?

I'm not putting my life on hold for you

and this women's liberation bullshit.

Okay.

You sound really stupid right now, Marcus.

So I'ma tell you what.

Until you figure it all out I'm gonna step out

and you give me a call when you grow up, okay.

Don't hold your breath.

Congrats on the new job.

Came at you bloodclaat boy.

Open the door.

Yo, just cool.

It's personal right now.

Hold on.

With a ransom on my head,

I'm in the streets looking for Nina.

I know she did tell me there was a little swank bar

that she used to hang out with.

I had to go there and she could probably lead me to Trina,

the chick that stole my money.

What I didn't know once I got there, the plot thickened.

A little scumbag was gon' set me up.

Fat girl saw me before I saw her.

I had actually walked into an ambush

and didn't even know it.

Man, you out of your fucking mind.

If Stevy D and his dudes see you, they gon' kill you.

Stevy D and his dudes don't know

what the fuck I look like.

They in here.

Why you shot ole dude and robbed him?

You almost killed him.

That wasn't my fault.

Nigga tried to pop me.

But look, I gotta get the fuck up outta here.

Why?

So you can rob and kill her, too?

You better go.

I just saw him.

Low and behold, there were two pink toes.

The benefit of being a preacher's son, I could speak proper.

Run game on these hoes.

Get my pimp swag on full effect.

Plus I was wearing my good luck shirt.

I intend to wear this bitch damn near everyday

Hey, hey.

It's a pleasure to meet you ladies.

Do you like to party?

Do you like to drink?

Oh no, I don't.

I don't do those things.

I don't drink.

Well we think you're really cute.

So cute.

We have a little proposition for you.

Don't start without me.

Hey.

Evelyn and I actually met the last time I was in prison.

Oh really?

As we were saying, we have a proposition for you.

And we're paying 500 bucks.

For what?

Sex?

I'm sure you ladies can get that anywhere for free.

We were thinking more along the lines

of a little jewelry caper.

All you gotta do is walk in the store and walk out.

A caper?

I thought you ladies had something else in mind.

I bet you did you naughty boy.

Let's go.

Is there anything I can show you here today?

Yes.

Can I see this one?

Sure.

It's a really nice piece.

Yeah, it's beautiful.

It's a custom made cross with nails in it.

Wow.

Wow, that is beautiful.

So, if I'm in a fight, I would just be like.

Is there anything else that interests you?

Yes.

This one.

Let's look at that one.

This is one of the nicest bracelets.

It's $15,000 but today it's on special for $8000

because it's the end of the month.

Oh wow.

Tomorrow it's gonna be $12,000.

Sir, could you stop that?

You're disturbing all the customers please.

Thanks.

I'm not interested.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that.

All right. Well I hope you come back soon.

Have a good day.

It was nice seeing you.

You think you could fucking get away with this?

Turn around.

Uh uh uh.

Easy.

Hand me the bracelet.

Let the nice girl go.

Stand against the wall.

If you move, I'll blow your fucking brains out.

Well that was all fucked up.

I didn't know you carried a gun.

Well there's a lot you don't know about me.

How 'bout you give me my bracelet

and I'll pay you as promised?

How 'bout you call up Bianca?

We go back to the hotel and get our freak on.

Bianca got locked up.

She's gone for a couple days.

And freak on?

Damn you tricked us.

Nah, you tricked yourself. Do I look like a lame?

Don't let this collared shirt fool you.

So what's up?

You got another homegirl?

Is she locked up?

I have another girl I could bring.

Hey.

What the fuck?

Bitch, you stole from me.

I didn't fucking steal from you.

I borrowed from you 'cause I knew you wouldn't trust me.

You didn't have to fucking hit me.

You think I can back all your money plus more.

Fucking stupid.

Yeah well, I don't play that shit. Get your ass.

Let me fucking.

Let me fucking go.

Fucking fuck you.

Fuck you.

Let me fucking go.

Don't fucking walk away from me.

Now walk your ass in this goddamn room.

I don't wear ass of nobody else.

I suggest you keep your hands off me

or drop back now all right.

Damn.

Come, let me show you something.

What the fuck is this?

The man we hitch a ride from. We had to hop out.

Nigga, you thought it was a good idea to kidnap

and hijack this dude?

Nah man, y'all gotta get the fuck up

What you want for that?

We don't have no place to go.

What you want me to do?

I'll be back.

All right.

You got ID and money to rent a place?

Yeah.

Why?

Now give me the bracelet.

Come with me.

Yo, give me your cash.

And whatever you do, don't let them see it.

These dudes will slit your throat and take that shit

Well, except Blazack.

That motherfucker kind of throw in the head.

What's up with you?

From the first time a woman lays eyes on a man,

she knows if she wants to be with him.

It's a man who doesn't.

When I first laid eyes on you, I chose you.

You got a problem with that?

Hell nah.

I like an aggressive woman.

You got good taste.

My father was a kingpin in Brooklyn.

Taught me a lot.

He was murdered by a rival cartel.

My uncles, his brothers, took care of me.

Paid for me to go to college and all that shit.

Sorry to hear about your father.

Don't be.

He violated his golden rule.

Stayed in the game too long.

Now it makes sense what you told me earlier.

Then he forced me to do drugs with him.

Prostitute.

Then I got pregnant.

And where is he now?

In prison for drugs.

So where you gon' live?

I don't trust Trina and them two white girls, you know.

Oh, you better careful.

Very careful with voicing your ideas, you know.

Trust me.

Blazack one of the most

dangerous niggas I'd ever known.

It was like he had been born in the wrong era.

He was a cold blooded murderer

who went at life like he was on a mission to die.

He was one of the only cats I know

that had beat out three murder raps

and was still counting bodies.

So we finally meet face to face.

In my 20 year career, I've never seen one man

make so much money or wreak so much havoc in this city.

I don't know what the fuck you talking 'bout.

Don't fucking lie to me.

You robbed and shot that kid

because he wouldn't buy your fake dope.

Through murder and mayhem you and your homeboys

have completely taken over the drug trade in this town.

That's some bullshit.

Well this is your lucky day.

I'm not gonna take you in.

But I'm gonna help myself to some of your money here.

What the fuck you doing?

You pull that shit again on one more time,

I'm gonna blow your fucking brains in.

Sit down.

Relax.

I'm here for a good reason.

What?

So you can fucking rob me?

No, asshole.

To help you make some money.

As long as you're selling drugs

in the black neighborhood, I got no problem with that,

but you think like a white man

and keep the drugs out of the white neighborhoods.

You gon' bring your ass in here

preaching that righteous bullshit

while you fucking steal my money?

This is my first cut.

From here on, smooth sailing.

You pay me five grand a week

and I'll make sure you and your boys are protected.

Sell all the fucking dope you want.

Aight, cop.

You got yourself a deal but don't get this shit twisted.

You work for me.

And that money you just stole,

consider that your first month's pay.

Deal.

Just remember.

Keep the drugs out of the white neighborhoods.

Fuck you and them white neighborhoods.

Answer the fucking door.

Go on.

You gotta leave here.

I know a place.

Aight.

Look.

Go start packing and tell the rest of the girls we leaving.
