- That's Chicken Man! - Freeze!

My client was apprehended along with three other white men.

Yet, Mr. Williams was the only one charged!

They shot at my goddamn back.

What if my family was out there? My kids?

-Where are they now? - Faye left me last night.

- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - Jenkins took my badge.

You just gonna have to trust me on this one.

The police came to my job. And he was tryin' to help you.

We gon' follow McKinley.

Wait till we can get the drop.

I could use a sharp motherfucker like you up in the city.

I don't like you getting chummy with Willie.

Well, at least he stand up for hisself.

Yeah, it's Emerson.

I need y'all to meet me in Jekyll Island.

The Dolphin Club.

-So what now? - Now we follow 'em.

They all lookin' to up their stake.

I need them to be retired permanently.

You know, when I planned the robbery...

Come on, Sweets. She'd lick you like candy.

...and the Firm would finally see that

Frank wasn't that all powerful.

They can do what your daddy would've done,

and that's do what the fuck I say!

You know, there's been some utterance.

People questioning your leadership qualities right now.

Funky bi...

Nah, I don't remember.

Come on, man. You don't remember Rib Shack?

You used to beg me to take you there all the time.

We'd get you the super-size ribs with the chocolate shake.

- You could barely finish it. - Oh, yeah, the Shack.

You used to love that place, man.

You know, it closed after you left.

You think they about to leave?

Hmm. Maybe.

My hunch, they're finna take this loot

to whoever's crazy enough to try to move it.

We're gonna know in a minute.

They're havin' a goddamn picnic.

I don't know why we can't just go over there and take 'em now?

'Cause we ain't got nothin'.

We gotta follow 'em. Let this whole thing play out till the end.

Well, we should've moved on there and got some ribs with 'em.

- Hungry as a billy goat. - Yeah.

Man, come on, man.

So, what is it? Freckles?

Nah, negro. Jekyll. Jekyll Island, man.

Jekyll. Man, The fuck is Jekyll?

I don't know. I didn't name this shit.

Hey! Hey, I saw that.

Who you talkin' to, Jack?

Empty your damn pockets. Right now.

Or you can meet my friends, Smith & Wesson.

You understand me, boy?

Oh, no.

I don't see no boys up in here.

What about you, Ray?

- All's I see is a cracker with a death wish. - Mmm-hmm.

Your funeral.

Uh, uh, uh, uh.

Ray, grab his gun.

Oh, shit!

Get up. Get up!

You know what, Ray?

I think it's time that we pop your cherry. What you think?

What you talking 'bout, Black. I ain't no virgin.

Nah, but you is with that gun now, ain't you?

Get your ass down.

When you rocking with me, you gotta be ready to get down at any time.

Go on, put that bitch to use.

- Mmm-hmm. - Just take... Just take what you want.

Oh, your tone done changed now, huh?

What the hell is goin' on?

Ray, put the gun down.

Hey, man. What's goin' on?

Ray, put the gun down.

After we teach Billy Bob a lesson.

Please. You can keep the candy.

- Just go. - What, I ain't "boy," now?

I ain't mean nothin' by it.

Shit. They got their guns out, man.

Ray, put the gun down, all right?

No, he ain't putting shit down until this white devil here apologize.

- Sorry. I'm sorry. - Huh?

- Say it again. Huh? - I'm sorry.

- Apologize, white devil! Apologize! - I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

He apologized! He apologized, all right?

Now put the fucking gun down!

Wait... Wait, now. Hold on, hold on. Let it play out.

No, no, look, you can't go in there playing hero right now,

you just gonna blow the whole thing up!

- Just stay in the car. - Just hold on!

Ray, put the gun down.

Put the fucking gun down, man.

Come on, now.

Mmm.

I can't see the cashier.

Just wait. Hold on. Hey, hey, you said it yourself,

we gotta play the whole thing through, right?

Chicken, the man could be hurt in there.

Hey, look, and they leavin'.

So, we gotta follow them or else we're gonna lose 'em.

Hello?

Oh, oh, no, no, no, no. I'm a cop. I'm a cop.

I'm a cop. It's all right.

Here, let me help.

- You hurt? - No.

I thought they were gonna kill me,

then that last one came in and stopped them.

Oh, God! He came back!

- Wh... No, no, no. He's with me. - What? He said they're back.

- It's all right. Come on. - What you mean, "It's all right"?

'Cause you in a good goddamn mood now, huh?

'Cause you get to save whitey,

while our only hope for justice for me

- just rolled off, and went to God knows where. - Will you calm down, Chicken?

"Calm down." That's all you've been sayin' to me

all goddamn day is "Calm down."

You better pay for those!

You wanna kiss my ass, toilet-faced cracker?

Oh, well, my condolences, but, baby, we closed right now.

This can't wait.

- Really? - Mmm-mmm.

I got his goon in the back seat under a tarp.

This ain't really my thing.

Come on, I wouldn't be here if there was any other way.

Any detail that you could remember...

Goddamn, you know, I have had enough of you people for today.

I want you out of my store, off my property!

- You say that again, you... - Chicken, hold on. Wait a minute...

No, no, no, no! I'mma deal with this hick.

I want you to listen. I want you to listen good, okay?

I smell somethin'.

You know what that smell is? It's rotten apples.

Funny thing is I don't see a lick a' fruit in here, do you?

No, you don't, do you?

But I see a bunch of sugar,

and I swear the Lord knows sugar is for yeast.

See, I know how these dry counties work.

And I know that you got a still in the back.

So, what I wanna do is let my detective friend here

take a little walk around then come out here

and bust your ass for moonshine.

How does that sound, you fuckin' hayseed?

Huh?

Hmm. How'd that sound, you fucking hayseed?

When they were walkin' in, they was yappin' about taking a trip.

Hmm. A trip? Where?

Jekyll Island.

Jekyll Island.

Detective Sambo. Hmm?

Savin' white lives all over the place.

Kissin' all types of white ass.

Come on!

I saw Sledge play right here on that stage.

Took Charmaine here for our honeymoon.

She must have had your balls in a bind for real, my brother.

You wouldn't understand.

You damn right.

Bitch be lucky to get water from me.

Nobody wants shit from you.

Aw, now you'd be surprised.

You'd be surprised.

Hey, Mac. What happened here?

Integration.

Why go to the Black spot

when you can have uppity white folks starin' at you

while you eatin'?

Ain't that sound fun?

Not to me.

Hello?

Mac. It's me. I've been trying you for over an hour.

Yeah, we just got here.

Aight, yeah, listen. I'm, uh... I'm on my way,

all right. I'll be there in a few hours.

All right, well, we'll be here.

I'll tell you somethin',

it's been way too long since I had me a good piece of trim.

How 'bout you, youngsta?

Uh... Way too long.

You funny, negro.

How 'bout we call up a titty bar and get us some gals?

Have us a time.

How that sound?

Yeah.

Sounds good.

It's just you and Willie?

Me, Willie, and the kid, it's the three of us.

Alright.

Hey, put Willie on.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, look, I'm... I'm comin' down with a fence

willing to pay top dollar.

All right, we gon' take care of you, soldier.

Willie, phone for you.

What's the word?

Willie, I got orders.

Get rid of the kid. Understand?

That really necessary?

Kill the kid.

I'll handle Mac.

Let's get this party started.

♪ Down these city streets I walk tall... ♪

One day, we was pinned down,

gettin' fired at from all sides.

I remember thinking, "I'm tired.

"Tired on waitin' for death to find me."

So, I hopped up out that hole,

saw all them Viet Congs starin' at me.

Next thing I know,

Mac's next to me.

Yellin'.

Pullin' me back down in that hole.

He... He saved me that day.

I owe him.

Hey.

Hey!

You ain't welcome here.

Oh, shit, Emerson, you done done it again.

Oh, Emerson tellin' war stories.

Apologize, gentlemen.

Finish my drink, I'll be on my way.

Mmm.

My man.

Sorry, you know with all of them bombs over there,

I don't hear so good.

You wanna repeat that, asshole?

Not in here, soldier.

Hey, I tell you what, good thing we gassed up, huh?

'Cause we ain't got a clue where we goin' right now.

Wouldn't even be in this goddamn position

if you weren't so keen on kissin' massa's ass back there.

You know it don't rub off, right? It's gon' stick.

Oh, that's funny to you, that make Hudson laugh?

No words, you ain't got nothin' to say?

What'd you used to call me? You used to call me a hoodlum.

Tell you what, when I made my bread,

I put it right back into my community.

- Mmm. - Gave my people hope.

- Yeah. - Give 'em reason to live.

I'd rather be a hoodlum than a house nigga any day.

That house part, maybe we, uh, find a pay phone, call your wife,

see what she gotta say about it.

Oh, wait a minute, you ain't got one of them.

A house or a wife.

Pull over.

All right, look, that was too far.

- Hudson, pull over right now. - All right, now, look...

- Pull the goddamn car over right now. - I'm apologizing.

Pull the car over right now!

C'mon, Chicken...

Don' ''Chicken" me...

Get your ass out this car and get this ass whoopin'.

Man, we ain't got time for this bullshit, man.

- Come on! Ain't no Chicken. - Chicken, this is crazy.

Man, we're supposed to be followin'...

Knock it off!

Knock this shit off, man!

- That's it. No. We ain't done. - Quit. Come on, man.

Hey, my man. Stop, stop. Stop it.

Hey, knock it off! Stop. Stop fighting.

All right!

Knock it off! We good?

We good.

I told you.

A nut punch?

I can't breathe. I can't br...

Shit.

No, no. Come on.

You got me, didn't ya?

Damn it.

Uh...

You know, my first date with Faye was a walk in a park.

She thought I was romantic, but, uh, I was just broke-ass.

I told her, "Don't worry, 'cause it's only up from here, baby."

Look, I'm sorry about what I said in the car, okay?

That was uncalled for, I didn't mean it.

Oh, yeah, you did.

And it's okay, it ain't like I didn't deserve it, so...

Look, Chicken.

Back when I arrested you,

I had to let them other boys go.

That stuck in my craw, man.

To this day.

I mean, you broke the law,

and I was in my rights arrestin' you, but...

If I had to do it all over again, I don't know.

I don't know.

You wanna know what the biggest con I ever pulled was?

Biggest con I ever pulled was convincin' myself

that all this shit that I'm doin'

is for my damn family.

It's for me.

Tryin' to be somebody I'm not.

Excuse me, sugar. We a bit lost.

Y'all know how to get to the Shark Club?

To the Shark Club?

I ain't never heard of it.

Hmm, see, we got this gig down at this, uh, Shark Club on Jekyll Island.

Oh, wait, you talkin' about The... The Dolphin Club?

Yeah.

Sounds about right.

Okay, well, The Dolphin Club's 'bout a mile up that way.

Just keep goin' straight.

Thank you, baby!

Right on.

Dolphin Club's been closed for a while now.

Hey, three girls in the car.

One girl for each robber.

Come on.

You first, mama.

I got two nostrils.

C'mon I'm sorry for being stingy baby, I'm sorry.

-Mmm, thank you, baby. -Mmm-hmm.

Ray!

Don't worry about him.

Damn, boy, you can't be wastin' all that candy like that.

Man, you got a little bit of...

No, but, Black, for real, man, I'm really excited to be goin' up north with you, man.

It's gon' be you and me runnin' things out there, man.

Ray and Black, I can see it now, man.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Which one of them you like?

Honey.

Honey.

You think she sweet on me?

You want her to be?

Mmm.

Watch this.

Stop.

Listen, Honey baby. I want you to take care of him, okay?

Show him a good time. Be gentle now.

How 'bout we go get us a room?

Come on.

Don't be scared of it now, Ray.

Ain't nothin' but a little bit of water.

I'mma come back for you, baby. I'mma come back for you.

Yeah, all right.

This ain't smart, Black. Emerson said he's on his way.

We got time, man, we got time.

The hell you think you doin'?

We all got bags to hold on.

Little man left his, I'm gon' take it to him.

Loosen up, Mac.

Go get you some of that ass on your lap, nigga.

Say, girl. Let me show you somethin'.

You ever seen heaven before, mama, hmm?

As long as you can make these legs open like heaven's gates.

Oh, they gon' open, baby. And you gon' sing for me.

Thirsty?

Were you drafted or volunteer?

How'd you know I was in the military?

It ain't hard to tell.

You ever save a life?

You know, most folks just ask

if I ever took one.

I ain't most folks.

I see.

Yeah, I saved a brother's life before.

Pulled that man out the line of fire.

Did you get some kinda medal?

This is America, darlin'.

There ain't no medals for savin' niggas.

I could tell you was a hero the minute I saw you.

Yeah, well, I ain't no hero.

Yes, you is.

You look out for people.

So, why don't you let me look out for you, huh?

Take me to heaven.

Ooh! Yes!

So was I any good?

Yeah.

Is this supposed to be like them?

You were sweet.

Sexy.

Uh, have you ever been up north?

Oh, I ain't never been.

Movin' out that way.

Gots this job lined up with Willie.

Been doin' some big things together.

You know, if you ever find yourself out that way,

I could take you around.

You wanna take me on a date?

I don't know.

Yeah.

Do you have, like, a telephone number I could hold onto?

That's cute.

McKinley Rogers.

Me and you need to have a little confab.

All those lights, hmm.

All those people.

And all that potential.

But I'm sure you know that.

I'm sorry, I hope I'm not interruptin'.

Uh, no worries.

- Hmm. - I could use the company.

Join me.

Sure.

Ma'am, can I get you a cocktail?

You know, I usually go for somethin' sweet,

but after the day I had,

I think I'mma switch my groove up,

you dig?

Cognac? Cognac, please. Thanks.

So, what kinda day did you have?

Uh, runnin' around cleanin' up messes I didn't make.

Some I did.

I wanna thank you for what you did for me back at the salon.

I don't have many men lookin' out for me.

And I also wanna apologize to you

for what happened at the party.

Even though I had nothin' to do with that shit,

it still happened.

I appreciate that.

But I'm sure you didn't come all the way down here to

shower me with apologies.

No, I didn't.

The cornerstone of a community,

is it churches? Barbershops?

It's funeral homes.

Cash business there, Jack.

That's a market that ain't goin' nowhere,

- cause niggas gon' die. - Hmm.

Great space for a smart businessman to diversify.

And besides, those caskets,

you know, you can move some things that you don't

exactly want being detected.

Oh, like conk-head niggas with bullets in their heads?

Oh, thank you.

The, uh,

proprietor of this funeral home enterprise,

- is he local? - Mmm-hmm.

Entrenched in the community?

Better than that.

He was grandfathered in last decade's zoning laws,

which means any property that he buys,

he don't have to tell the state.

Get the fuck outta here.

I got my fingers in all kinds of pies.

You know, I heard that exact same line

from some little hustler around here.

No. See, what you heard was talk.

I got the fuckin' recipe.

Hmm.

So, you the pig that threatened my ex?

No, you the threat to Charmaine and that little girl.

You leave my fuckin' family out of this.

Hey, easy!

But they ain't yours to protect no more.

Charmaine remarried, got that good job.

But she can't seem to get the stink of you off of her.

But you help us out with this thing,

and I'll make sure none of this touches them.

You done already dug yourself a deep hole.

Ain't no sense in makin' it any deeper.

How you feelin', killer?

Great!

So you are.

Where's your man?

He's outside, seein' the girls off.

Look it's too late for me,

but Ray, he just a kid.

All he needs is a second chance.

You let him go,

I'll give you what you want.

No, ain't no way I'm letting him go.

He can't just walk away from that.

You can take your chances with them killers that's comin' in.

Listen, listen, the boy is a minor, right?

- That's right. - I'mma do everything in my power

to make sure that he's tried as a juvenile.

He'll get out when he's 18. He can still make something of his life.

Look, I give you my word on it.

Yeah, I can dig it.

All right.

So, come clean. Who hired ya?

Emerson Dorsey.

Emerson? The man from the photo?

That's who I took the party from.

But he just the middle man.

- A middle man for who? - I don't know.

You can ask him yourself. He on his way.

Uh, look, you're gonna need my help with Emerson.

'Cause he mean with a pistol.

And the third man Willie Black,

that motherfucker's a walkin' virus.

All right.

You get that boy on our side,

we'll apprehend Willie Black.

Then we wait and get Emerson, too.

Now, why in hell would we trust him?

'Cause we in the shit, Chicken.

We ain't got no other choice.

Ain't that right, soldier?

That's right.

Shit, he's here.

Why don't you go over there and get a fire goin'?

Get some warmth up in here, hmm?

- Get in my van. - Shit!

Get rid of the kid.

Aw, shit!

Where you goin', kid?

I left my bag of loot upstairs.

Come on, man, you gotta keep that shit with you at all times. Go get it.

Payday, soldier. Passed a car full of broads on my way in.

How's your man, Willie Black?

You got a problem with it, you can take it up with him.

Oh, that motherfucker would.

Oh, shit!

You know a lot about that motherfucker, don't you?

All of you ain't been tellin' me shit.

Still keepin' me in the dark.

Soon as I robbed them killers, I was a dead man.

Mac, they don't even know about you, brother.

Bullshit!

All of my people is dead.

You think we should make our move now?

Frank Moten ain't gonna just let me get away.

Well, see that's the thing. You ain't got to worry about Frank.

- That's being handled, you dig? - Yeah?

- Yeah. - By who?

The same motherfucker you been takin' orders from?

Come on, man...

You still gonna keep me in the dark?

I asked you a question, soldier.

Name is Cadillac Richie.

- Cadillac? -He movin' on Frank.

It's been a long time comin'.

Listen, I saved you, man.

Pulled you out that jungle.

Kept you from getting your fuckin' head blown off, man.

This is how you repay me?

Hey, brother, I know you don't expect me to apologize

for putting 20 large in your pocket.

Fuck that shit, man!

Mmm, come on, man, this is me tryin' to square things with you.

Make it right.

We're cursed, man.

We cursed for what we done.

Any trouble come our way, we earned it.

Fence will be here soon.

You got my money, soldier?

I asked you a question.

Yeah. Yeah, I got your money.

Let's all bring it out here and count it,

put it in your trunk.

Brother, I'm tired of takin' care of your shit.

Well, all right then,

lead the way.

Heard you had a good time.

Don't nothing pass the time

like some ass and a little bit of sugar.

Goddamn!

Well, that's quite the haul, soldier.

I see why y'all wanted more bread.

Yeah, it's not nearly enough for what we lost.

Yeah. Well, you know how it go, Mac.

Times, a few soldiers gotta get sacrificed for the greater victory.

What'd you say?

Fuck wrong with you?

Take care of them loose ends?

Yeah, about that...

Shit went left.

Fuck you mean?

Uh, loose ends?

Fuck y'all talkin' about with these loose ends?

Nothin' for you to worry about, Mac.

Is Baby Ray a loose end?

Am I a loose end?

What the hell you talkin' about, Mac?

Whoa, whoa! What the fuck, Mac?

Y'all motherfuckers been thick as thieves this whole goddamn time.

- Mac... - Shut the fuck up, nigga!

Hey, Mac, listen to me, all right.

Yeah, we took a couple of casualties,

but there's a whole shitload of cash for us to split over there.

So, why don't we all just calm the fuck down!

All right, McKinley, stand down.

I knew you was a snake from the first time I laid my eyes on you.

Says the baby killer with the medals to prove it.

Fuck you, man. Prison ain't good enough for you.

Prison? Ain't nobody going to fuckin' prison, man.

Both of y'all, put them guns down.

Ray...

Mac!

Goddamn it!

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

Fuck. Mac.

Mac.

I thought he was gonna shoot you.

Mac?

What's that sayin' about honor amongst thieves?

How the fuck should I know?

Exactly.

Atlanta PD. Drop the weapon.

Do it.

Fuck!

Oh, shit!

Anything happens to me, call it in.

Where you goin? Hudson.

Goddamn it! Shit!

Fuck!

Fuck it! Fuck it! Fuck it! Fuck it!

You wanna keep doin' this shit?

You're the one shot.

It's not even your money.

It ain't yours either. Give it up.

Fuck that.

Stop! Stop!

Oh, fuck!

Argh!

Man, who the fuck are y'all?

We the police, nigga!

Ain't no... Bitch, show me your fuckin' badge!

Oh! Shit!

- All right, all right, all right. - That's for Vivian.

Who the fuck is Vivian?

So, what do we do now?

We stick to the plan.

Cadillac.

You know how much I love Nonna's baked ziti.

Tell her to save me a plate

and I'll see y'all when I'm done with this Harlem problem.

Bye.

Hey, Goose, you got somethin' for me?

Yes, sir, boss.

I hear my beautiful boy is headed South again.

A day down in that godforsaken,

country-ass, backward town is an eternity, Mama.

Hey, Ruck.

Let my mama see what you got there.

You see anything you like?

The white one.

El blanco, por favor.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.

Don't nobody touch my mama.

This is beautiful. Mmm!

When I get back from the South, I'm gonna bring you

a nice, big, four-carat diamond necklace.

You just do what needs to be done

and get your ass back to civilization.

Oh, it's gettin' done.

I got Frank in a whirlpool of craziness right now,

and by the time I'm done,

he ain't gonna know that I had a hand in it.

Humiliation ain't enough.

Your daddy, Big Richie,

used to stay awake nights,

plottin', plannin', dreamin' of givin' Frank what he had comin'.

That day never came.

So, I had to stand by and watch

that stripe-headed snake undermine your father,

bring him down from a king to a middleman,

just like what he doing to you.

Your daddy wasn't strong enough to make the right decision,

but you, my boy,

this is your time.

I want that. I want all of that,

for you, for us,

for Big Richie.

At the appropriate time, I shall crush that snake.

That's my boy!

You honor your father's legacy.

And put that two-faced, licorice-chewin' motherfucker where he belong.

Yes, ma'am.
