[ gunshot echoes ]

Yo, B, you see her?

That's Cardi B., my nigga.

- Shorty is right. - She's hot, my nigga.

- In a little while she'll bag. - [ phone rings ]

- She could get the work. - Fuck.

Fuck! It's Miz, my nigga.

Yo. I'm all right. I'm out here grinding.

Nah, not yet.

I was trying to deal with the hard first.

It's moving decent.

It ain't flying, but it'll pick up.

All right, cool.

- Fuck, man! - What happened?

- That was this nigga Miz, man. - Okay.

My nigga, you forgot what happened?

That nigga asked me what happened with that bread.

Yo, why don't you just tell him what happened, bro?

My nigga, I can't tell him what happened.

Especially not now.

Me and this nigga Kane just fucked up on a jux.

We cost him and his man Rafe a lot of bread.

Now I'm supposed to tell him I fucked up even more?

Man, wait, you talking about the same jux you was counting on?

Yeah, man. That shit went totally left.

- So what are you gonna do? - I'm about to do what the fuck I gotta do, Joe.

- What you mean? - My nigga, I'm about to turn it up.

I gotta get this money. Miz about to holler at me in a few days.

I gotta get this bread, man.

- Yo, you gonna hold me down? - What you need me to do?

All I'm gonna need you to do is drive.

I'm gonna take care of everything else.

- Drive where? - My nigga, to get this paper.

Get this paper how, Shane?

Let me worry about that.

You just drive while I axe.

Sit in the car and wait till I get there, you got me?

Yeah, I got you, but I'm not fixin'

to jump out no window for you, B.

My nigga, you got me or not?

I got you, I got you.

My nigga, what happened?

Yo, shit got a little hectic in there, Black.

Yo, my man told me

y'all niggas threw that nigga out the window.

- What? - I knew y'all was gonna go in

for him to tell you where the bread was stashed at,

but that's a little extreme, man.

You really think we threw the nigga out the window, Black?

What the fuck would we get out of that?

I don't know.

But my man told me, thoughts came to my head--

he wasn't cooperating, y'all got frustrated, and y'all spazzed out.

Not at all, man.

My man fucked up and let the nigga go to the balcony, yo.

As soon as he got to that shit, the nigga just jumped.

He ain't even think twice about it, Black.

- Fuck you mean? - Nigga, you heard me.

- The nigga jumped. - What the fuck?!

Yo, that shit pissed me off, too, man.

The second he went off that balcony,

what could we do, Black? We had to bounce.

Y'all niggas were throwing him that dirty, my nigga,

that nigga had to jump, my nigga?

I don't think that's why he jumped, man.

I think he just didn't wanna give that paper up.

Don't get me wrong-- yeah, we pistol-whipped the nigga a couple of times.

I think the nigga's nose was broken,

but it wasn't as extreme as it would've got by morning, man.

Yo, I think that when we were searchin',

we was gettin' close to that bread, my nigga,

and that nigga just said, "Fuck it."

Damn, Rafe!

You know that lick is ruined now.

Niggas can't go back in there.

And even if we could, my nigga,

I know he done moved that bread up out that crib, man.

He probably moved that shit immediately.

Yeah, my man tight, man.

Nigga, I was tight that night, too.

But fuck it. What's done is done.

I feel you.

That would've been a nice piece of change

to break down at the table, man.

Trust me, I know, Black.

But sitting here talking about what could've been

ain't gonna do nothing for me or you.

- I dig it. - Yo, man,

you come across anything else, man, you just holler at me.

- Yeah, I'll think about it. - You'll think about it?

While you're at it, nigga, think about who else you could trust

to not skim bread off the top when you ain't even there

to know how much they caught. Yeah, good luck, nigga.

I guess I'll be calling you

if I come across anything else.

All right, say no more.

[ men speaking heavy Patois ]

What's going on, brethren? Everything criss?

All asleep last night?

Trying to sleep, but a noose surrounds me. Can't get comfy.

Brethren, I'm gonna end this now.

The enemy, them out there, brethren.

I'm gonna end this and good.

The enemy lives within the mind of every man, G.

The enemy don't live within what is.

The enemy lives within what can be, brethren.

Puttin' the faith in loyalty, brethren.

Loyalty and love.

Loyalty is earned while love is given.

Humph. Only a fool gives love to an enemy, brethren.

I'm not fooled about the enemy and all.

And I've no time for to hear the word, brethren.

But the boy, the Miz? Him we'll have to deal with.

We have to sort him out, brethren.

All you hungry and all

if they put them in a place where we can't eat?

Is the rest of them identified with yet?

Yeah, man. All the dogs them done reaching all the brethren.

I done shoot them down, the ones me and Fresh faced already.

We have to make a deal in the works

for us to try and gain back the element of surprise, you get me?

Yo, me not like for send a next man

- to fight my war, G. - Yo, easy, Fresh.

Strategy before pride, brethren.

I'm not in this to fight and lose.

We can use them like a chess piece, brethren.

Cool it, Fresh.

The battle are still your battle.

The victory are still your victory.

What day, I don't know.

So we just wanna play around with them a little bit.

At your lead, my general.

Yo, easy, brethren.

We have enough time to catch the whole heap.

But right now we have to make the dogs them eat food, brethren.

We use the dogs them till we have to deal with them, brethren,

and I'll sort that out.

♪ Pussyhole boy, dem disrespect me done in... ♪

Yo, you all right?

- Yeah, I'm good, Rafe. - I thought you was good the other night

until I woke up to you sitting next to my bed, man.

I know, man. It's just a lot to take in, yo.

Is it? Survivors starve.

It's not that hard a choice to be made, Kane.

But, yo, it's an extreme way to live.

Yo, when it comes to feeding your daughter,

is her starving even an option?

- Of course not. - Would you work 10 jobs if you had to

in order to make sure that she's good?

Of course. That's not even a question.

So what's the difference, Kane?

You'd work 10 jobs and I'd pull 10 jobs

just to make sure that mine's is good.

That's not the same thing, Rafe.

How's it not the same?

How's it not the same, Kane?

You look at me like I'm crazy for going to my extreme,

which is doing what I do.

And I'd look at you like you're crazy for going to your extreme,

which is working 10 jobs, man.

We're both trying to solve the exact same equation.

We're just using two different formulas to get the answer.

Nonetheless, both answers are right.

I don't judge you as weak, so don't judge me as wrong.

Man, I'm not saying you're wrong,

- I'm just saying. - Stop thinking so hard, man.

When you're hungry, you eat.

- Do you have to think about it? - Of course not.

All right, so you're out here starving.

- Do what comes naturally. - Okay, but this is the second time

we attempted to make something and we got nothing.

Shit happens, Kane.

I don't know what world you live in,

but you don't hit each time you strike in the one I live in.

Rafe, I know that,

but I need to make some paper soon.

I ended up spending that hundred you gave me.

Why didn't you just give it to Cindy?

Son, I had to break it. I had to get something to eat

and I don't even know where the rest went.

Yo, I don't got much on me right now, man,

but get up on me later and I'll give you a couple of dollars.

Nah, man. I'm good, Rafe.

Whatever, Kane. Yo, if you want that, I'm here, man.

- All right. - Yeah, man,

I just speak to him. He said to meet him over here, so...

I found Flatbush where the boy them from.

They said meet over there in the next hour.

Eh, yeah, man,

me no eat no food at all.

Jah know, some boy forget that we food eats...

- Yeah, man. - if we eat and all.

Definitely, me brother. I'm gonna come with you after we play our game.

Come to take our money and make our money.

Yeah, so we take a stroll through the nearby and look around.

Yeah, man. Me want to do it right. No anarchy.

- Yeah, come, we'll go. - All right.

[ speaking Patois ]

A long, long time to wait for the man, them.

Yeah, man.

Yo, all day we wait here for the man, still no come.

[ muttering in heavy Patois ]

- Bless, Fresh. - Bless, bless.

- How's staying out here, son? - Everything good here, man.

BR: Kinda dead out here without you, you know?

I wanna eat that food, man.

This is a time I waste right now, man.

I waste time. The police out, man, and I'm fierce.

I'm hungry. I want my food, Fresh.

All right, man. Let's take a walk.

Yeah, my nigga, that kite got back to me

as far as who got touched.

You've probably seen the dude, too, and all that.

He's from the hood, but he don't fuck with niggas like that,

- you know what I'm saying? - Did you speak to him yet?

Nah, my nigga. I was waiting till I got next to you.

I told him I was gonna shout at him.

Where he at? He still in the hospital?

Nah, not even. He good.

He only got hit once, my nigga.

I thought they said it was twice.

The hood like making up they own stories, my nigga.

- Come on. - Nigga, let's go see him.

I'm gonna hit him right now. Give me a few.

All right.

Yo.

Yeah, this is Maggz, from earlier.

Yeah, I just got next to my homie and all that, my nigga.

I wanna know if I can come chop it up with you.

Mm, where at?

Nah, nah, nah, we ain't too far, my nigga.

All right, cool, cool, cool.

We're on our way, my nigga. All right.

- Man: Fuck... see how fast. - [ man chuckles ]

[ birds chirping ]

[ beeping ]

[ door buzzes ]

[ doorbell chiming ]

One time is enough, nigga.

Pssh, they gotta hear that shit, my nigga.

'Sup, man?

Listen, man, I would let you in the crib, man,

but wife be trippin' right now.

She fuckin' buggin', man.

She talking about, "You'd rather talk to these niggas,

but you won't go tell the cops?"

It's all good, homie.

You got shot for something that got nothing to do with you, my nigga,

so of course she's gonna be heated, my nigga.

Word. What happened that night, though?

Yo, peep game, man. I was walking up 22nd

on my way from Beverly going towards Cortelyou

and I feel somebody behind me, man, know what I'm saying?

And I see, I turn around it's your man.

The man that got killed.

- Tes, Miz. - Okay.

But as I see him, I also seen a car rolling up.

- What color was the car? - I'm not sure.

It might've been navy blue or black.

My nigga, please tell me you remember what kind of car it was.

I'm not positive,

but I think it was an Infiniti.

But out of nowhere, the car pull up,

your man goes to see what I'm looking at,

and I turn around,

dude opened up the car doors, started hitting.

- Did Tes shoot back? - I don't know.

I don't know. Once I heard the shots, man, I hauled ass, man.

I don't know if it was meant for me

or of it was meant for your mans,

but I got up out of there, man.

Did you see what they look like?

Listen, I don't know, man.

It was dark in the car.

I couldn't see their faces,

but I think they both had dreads.

Dreads?

Yeah, facts, man.

Listen, one of them had a dread cap

and one of them had long dreadlocks.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.

'Cause when the car pulled up,

I remember thinking,

"Who the fuck is these dread niggas?"

All right. Yo, man, we appreciate you taking the time to kick it with us.

We're not gonna hold you up, though, Mason. Go rest your leg, my nigga.

Feel better, you know what I mean?

Whew.

Gucci joints, big man. Gucci joints for your wife.

How about some Gucci joints? Made for you. Made for you

- Yo, my man. - Yo, I ain't your man, shorty.

Oh, shit. My bad, O.G. I got something for you.

Check this shit out right here, man.

- Nah, I'm good. - These are Guccis. They're fly.

You need to cop something for your lady or something.

I ain't got no lady, bro.

Hey, hold up. These are women's,

but maybe you got a dude with big feet or something, man.

Check me out.

Yo, shorty, man. You talk too fast for me, man.

- I'm good. Stay young. - Come on, man, I got a good price, man.

- Rafe: Stay young, brother. - You sure?

- Leon, what up? - Tai, what up, family?

Same shit. You know I'm out here doing what I do.

- Man, I know you are. - Yeah, what's good, though?

[ chuckles ]

This is what's good, man.

Y'all know any chicks that get fly?

I got these two pair of Gucci boots that I swiped.

They $500 each, man.

I don't be buying these bitches no Gucci boots.

How much this shit cost in the store?

It costs 550 plus tax in the store.

It's like they saving $90 on each of them.

Yo, Leon, you family and all that shit,

but you be buggin' sometimes, my nigga.

It's, like, 550 before tax, Tai.

They save like, $90. You bugging.

Oh, but peep this shit. I seen your man Shane.

He's still on my ass about that zip of kush

that you had me take from him for you.

That's nigga's still stressing you over that little 450?

Yeah, man. This nigga's always in my face about that shit.

Damn, Leon. The way you chatting,

it's like you scared of that nigga or something.

I ain't scared of that nigga.

I ain't smoked nothing out of that zip.

I took it from him and gave it straight to you.

I hear what you saying, Leon.

But if a nigga was all in my face,

I wouldn't be looking for another nigga to handle it.

I ain't looking for another nigga to handle it.

Bust this. I sold that nigga two gift cards

with no bread on that shit.

- Do I look like I was scared of him? - I was about to say

'cause that nigga a pussy.

He be trying to play tough,

but niggas robbed that nigga the other night

on his own block.

I mean, you could get got anywhere,

but on your own block?

It's just certain things is unacceptable.

On your own block, my nigga got robbed?

Yo, they stripped that nigga of everything.

His money, his work.

I'm surprised them niggas let him keep his sneakers.

Wow, man, niggas robbing you on your own block.

He needs to stop running down on me and go get at them niggas, man.

That's the same shit I'm saying.

Fuck that nigga, though. Roll with me to the store real quick.

Nah, my nigga, I can't. See, I'm trying

to get the rest of this paper, man.

I hear you.

- Do your thing, man. - All right, man. Chill.

All right.

- You spoke to your boy? - Who?

Who else? That nigga you insisted on having

on our job with us and he ain't even built for it.

Okay, whatever, man. Have I spoken to him about what?

Yo, what happened on that lick

could be a lot for a boy's mind to register.

A lot for his eye to even witness.

I'm checking on you so you know that he keep his mouth shut.

I told you, he good. No worries.

I hear you, but his eyes says different.

Man, don't worry about all that. He and I spoke.

He was a little rattled, but he all right.

I don't know what you see in that boy.

But more than me having to tell you that I told you so,

I don't want this shit to end up ugly.

- It isn't, Miz. - Can't say that.

You can never know how somebody's gonna react when they under pressure.

- You know I know that. - I know that you know that.

That's why I don't understand what's going on right now.

Look, man, you do what you have to do

and let me worry about him.

- I'll keep him out your way. - Yo, I hear you, Rafe.

Just know if that time ever comes

and that decision needs to be made,

I'm gonna make it for both of us

because I don't know what you're thinking right now.

Yo, that's not going to happen.

But for argument's sake,

I'll just say we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Say no more.

- What up? - Ain't shit, man.

I'm just out here making it do what it do.

Still no words on your connect?

Hell, no, man.

I don't even know why you keep bringin' that shit up.

That shit is a dead issue.

You fucked that shit up for us, man.

So you ain't at least tried to go see the nigga?

To see if you can even change the nigga's mind?

Yo, fuck all that shit, man.

I'm mad at you, though, my nigga.

What now? I'm already going through too much bullshit.

- How you ain't put me on? - Put you on about what?

You let this nigga Leon cut you for another $200?

Who the fuck you hear that from?

Yo, that nigga was bragging about that shit.

- What? - Yeah, this nigga runnin' around

talking about how he hit you with two bogus-ass gifties.

So I'm tight 'cause you're my man and shit,

I'm ready to pop on the nigga,

but I'm like, "I can't be fighting this nigga Shane's battles."

Tai, when you ever fought my battles?

That's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is

I ain't really wanna run down on the nigga

'cause I'm thinking that maybe

you don't want no problems with the nigga.

What the fuck are you talking about, Tai?

That nigga was talking wild shit

about how he ain't scared of you

and you be trying to run down on him

and you acting like you're gonna do something,

you ain't really gonna do nothing.

That shit had me tight, word to my mother.

You can't let that nigga slide, man.

Nah, this nigga crazy. He really trying to violate?

Yo, he's shittin' all over your name in these streets, my nigga.

Who knows who else he telling that shit to?

He could be the reason why you got robbed the other night.

You know once you tagged lame, the game is "follow the leader."

I'ma hurt this nigga, man.

I see it's gonna be an on-site situation.

I'll make an example of this nigga, my nigga.

Yo, you already know what you gotta do, my nigga.

I already know how you give it up.

Handle yours.

[ car horn honks ]

Come on, Joe. Come on, Joe.

Yo, Joe. Call my phone back, Joe.

I need you on this one. Call me back.

Shit!

I'm trying again. Fuck that.

I'll just blow this nigga phone up.

Joe.

Joe, answer your phone, my nigga!

Yo, call me back, man. It's Shane.

Yo, get the fuck on the floor. Get the fuck on the floor!

Get on the floor. Don't fuckin' move.

Don't you move.

- Yo, Joe, what the fuck? - What?

Money, I called you, like, 10 times.

- Why didn't you answer your phone? - I didn't get any calls.

You're gonna tell me you didn't get not one missed call?

And I know you got it 'cause your shit rang out.

- I didn't go to voicemail. - I didn't get any missed calls, Shane.

- Tsk. So why you didn't call me back? - I don't know.

I asked you, was you gonna hold me down?

- You said yes, didn't you? - Yeah, I did.

- So what happened? - I couldn't.

My nigga, do you know I had to take a cab from a robbery today?

- So why'd you go do it? - You wanna know why?

'Cause my back's against the wall. I had no choice.

Look, man, I don't know about getting involved in this kind of stuff.

What you mean?

What I mean is I don't get involved in this kind of stuff.

You know that.

To be honest, I'd seen your missed calls,

but I didn't know what to tell you, so I didn't answer.

I'm not asking you to get involved.

- I'm only asking you to drive. - If police pull us over,

- I'm going to jail. - It's not gonna happen like that.

- You don't know that, Shane. - My nigga, if the cops pull you over,

I'm gonna take the blame for everything.

I don't know, Shane. You said you just did a robbery.

You don't need to do anymore.

I don't even know how much I got out of there, man.

Hold on.

- Fuck? - What?

- Damn! - What, Shane?

There's only fucking $208.

You risked your life for $208?

Maybe you just need a job.

That's not gonna even put a fucking dent in what I owe this nigga Miz.

Listen, man, don't turn a bad situation worse.

I'm not the one it's gonna get worse for.
