Original subtitles

- Someone hired Niles to assassinate our father.

- I love you. - Love you, too.

- Did one of his targets kill him?

I killed him.

- I miss bounty hunting. - You looking for work?

I'm running from a ghost, and I'm getting a little scared.

- How much is it going to cost to keep you here?

- $40,000. - 40,000?

Ooh!

Thanks for having my back, man.

Man, that was nothing.

I'm at the Harris County morgue.

Jonah told Spike Wallace that y'all were meeting.

- Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.

- What about Orlando Duncan? - He's back in New York.

I have to put a bullet in Orlando Duncan's head tonight.

Can I watch?

* Yeah *

* Y'all ready? *

* *

* Let's get this money, money *

* We got a mansion in Dubai *

* And our wardrobe keep us fly *

* We know you like it, ay *

* We know you like it, yeah *

* We always winning, and that's no lie *

* You really wish you had our life *

* We know you like it, ay *

* We know you like it *

* It's the family business *

* Ah, na, na, na *

* Family business *

* If one win, we all win *

* Oh, no, ah *

* Family business *

* *

I told you,

I am not getting in that car.

But if you can't hear me, I'll turn it up for you.

If you're gonna kill me, you better do it right here.

You think I won't?

I came here for answers.

And I don't mind coming up with my own conclusions

and blowing your fucking ass away.

If anybody is going to blow anyone away,

it'll be you.

* *

Antonio,

tell your men to put the guns away.

I don't think so.

The six of us with our guns drawn--

I like these odds.

Yeah, well, I guess that kind of sucks for everybody,

doesn't it?

The fuck he's talking about?

What the fuck?

These are two M67 hand grenades,

the most powerful hand grenades in the world.

And as you can see, the pins are on the ground.

So if you shoot me or my brother, everybody dies.

Bullshit. He's bluffing.

Am I?

Shoot me and find out.

He clearly doesn't know who I am.

But you do, don't you, Antonio?

Put your gun down.

Everybody, put your guns down.

Now,

what's going on here?

What's going on here

is my little cousin Vinnie who's been missing

after he went to California to see his wife and his kid.

We're just here to get some answers.

You got a dangerous way of asking.

He's got a point.

We're all members of the Table.

You could have called and set up a meeting.

I could have, but I didn't want to hear

anything rehearsed.

I wanted to hear what's the truth,

regardless of what it is.

O?

I don't know anything about where Vinnie is.

The last time I saw him, he was in LA with Ruby

talking about taking my son to Disneyland.

So I left, I came back home.

You see, I'm standing here with you in New York City.

You know, that's really odd to me

because the last from what I understand,

Vincent was terribly ill.

I got my son his treatment, and his condition got better.

Now, I don't know why you can't find your cousin.

Last time I saw him, he was in LA.

End of discussion.

Yeah. For now.

But this ain't over.

Vegas, do me a favor.

Please tell your old man that I want to have absolutely nothing

to do with the Duncans

or the "Table of Friendship"

until we find my cousin alive.

I'll let him know.

Good to see you.

Ciao, assholes. Andiamo.

* *

Absolutely.

Can I get you two ladies anything else right now?

Maybe another bottle of wine for the table?

Mm, actually, I think I'd like something a little stronger.

Let me get an old fashioned.

Oh, wait a minute.

Can you get me a margarita?

Sugar, no salt.

Coming right up.

Thank you.

So, first, the plan is to have

an initial schedule of the meeting

and then we're going to speak with--

Just give me a sec.

I need to take this.

Hello, darling.

Yes, how did things go?

Hmm, I see.

How unfortunate.

Well, you need to calm down.

Well, it's a good thing that we already had

other plans in place, yes?

OK.

I'll keep you updated later.

Ciao.

Well, it looks like I need that stronger drink now.

Is everything OK?

You seem a little unnerved.

Yeah, everything's going to be fine.

I just need to know that you are serious about

joining our alliance, Donna.

Oh.

If everything you told me is true, I'm very serious.

What about your son?

Have you had a chance to discuss

what we talked about with him?

No. No, not yet.

But I will.

OK.

And are you absolutely sure that he's on board?

I mean, especially after you share our plans with him.

I'm positive.

It's one thing about him. He's always been loyal.

And right now, his loyalty is to me.

Good.

Good, because things just got very complicated.

And we're going to need to move our plan in motion

a lot sooner than anticipated.

The sooner we start, the sooner the money

starts rolling in, as far as I'm concerned.

Ah.

* *

Well, they're gone.

Now, I don't know what the hell is going on.

But Antonio Dash ain't bluffing when he says this ain't over.

Yeah, I know.

And Pops is going to lose his fucking mind

when he finds out that Antonio and the Italians

are leaving the Table.

Yeah. And that's a fact.

But let me ask you one question, Duncan to Duncan.

Go ahead. Ask.

Is Vinnie Dash missing, or...

Come on, big bro. You already know.

Yeah.

He's dead.

That's what I thought.

Motherfuckers come up here.

- * And you know it's our kings versus queens *

* *

- Checkmate. - Wait.

You won.

It appears so.

But how?

I--I've never seen you play like that.

A lot of things changed about me, son.

- Another game? - No.

I got to figure out how you beat me first.

Well, suit yourself. Have you seen your grandmother?

Yeah, she's out back in her garden.

What's up with you two anyways?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

It's like you two are happy in a weird kind of way.

I wish everyone else around here

could feel half as good as that.

Is there someone specific you have in mind?

What's going on?

I don't know.

It's like everyone's just down or something.

Uncle Junior, Aunt Paris,

Uncle Rio, Aunt London.

I'm really worried about Mariah.

I mean, the fight at school, running away?

Oh.

There's something really wrong with her.

I know she's been acting out lately.

I just figured it was typical teen stuff,

you know, growing pains,

and London was on top of it.

Grandpa, this is more than growing pains.

And why do you say that?

Mariah thinks Aunt London killed her dad.

Are you serious?

That's what she told me.

I need to have a chat with your Aunt London.

This is serious.

* *

Mama said I gotta get fly, so let's get fly.

Hmm.

I like the black.

Babe?

Hello?

Junior?

Babe, I know you're there.

I can hear you breathing.

Will you say something please?

Hello? Hello?

Say--Junior, please, can we just talk?

Baby, I miss you.

This--this is getting ridiculous.

Like, come on.

Talk to me.

There's nothing for us to talk about, Judas.

Now leave me alone.

Baby, it's just--

I know he didn't.

Some people just don't get the message.

Ooh, Junior Duncan.

Ooh, your daddy is starting to piss me off.

Let me get this right.

The two of you did it in the car?

Yes, in the car, in the middle of goddamn nowhere.

Girl, the two of you have lost your mind.

Yes, we have.

And we too old to have car sex.

Uh, speak for yourself, honey.

Child, I'm going to do that again

because that shit was fun!

Ooh, child!

Honey, Sonya, what's wrong, baby?

I didn't do anything!

What?

I don't even know what's going on!

He won't even talk to me.

To me!

I don't even know how all this happened.

OK, sit down. Come on.

Sit down and tell us what's happening.

Everything is going to be OK. What is going on?

- Is it going to be OK? - Yes!

Look, my whole marriage is falling apart.

For what?

I have nothing to do with Ms. Donna and Pops

cheating on you.

Chippy, I think it's time.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

Ooh, I guess it's time you start to learn the story

behind all this, because to my knowledge,

LC never cheated on me.

God, I don't even know where to start.

How about at the beginning?

Whew, OK, um, many years ago,

many years ago,

when we all grew up in Waycross,

I was a working girl at a place called "Big Sams."

OK, I see you, girl.

Ow!

* *

From the moment I saw him,

I knew LC Duncan was special.

There was something about him.

Ooh, he was tall, dark, and handsome.

Mm!

There was also an air about him that distinguished him

from every man in the room.

- Yo, Sam. - Y'all do that thing for me?

Good to see you.

We sure did. Hey.

- No, we did. - Talking about.

Of course you did! Of course you did.

That's good work. That is good work.

You know what I'm saying?

Hey.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- What y'all know about that? - I like this.

Here.

You keep paying, we'll keep doing it.

Mm-hmm.

Work's over.

Let's get some drinks.

Martha!

Get some drinks over here for my fellas, my gentlemen.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's what we talking about.

Yeah, go ahead and get that.

Like this.

I'm sorry, Sam.

What?

LC, where are you going?

You're not going to have a drink with us?

Can't tonight, brother.

Me and Donna got plans.

Oh, come on!

All right, bro. Take care.

Leave him be, Lou. Can't do nothing with LC.

His ass is pussy whipped.

Hey.

Are you leaving already?

You're not even going to buy a girl a drink?

Sorry, I can't tonight.

I got plans.

Oh.

OK.

What are you reading?

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by--

Maya Angelou?

I know it well. It's a good book.

But have you read "The Autobiography of Malcolm X"

by Alex Haley?

No, but it's on my list.

I just got done reading it.

Amazing read. Very inspirational.

You should read it.

I will.

Then maybe we can talk about it.

I like the sound of that, Miss...

My real name is Charlotte,

but you can call me Chippy

because that's what they all call me.

All right, then, Ms. Chippy.

You have a good night.

You, too.

* *

Uh-uh.

Girl, don't do it.

That one don't ever spend no money,

and he's engaged to a doctor's daughter.

Hm.

Well, Big Shirley, I don't know what

you're talking about because I was just making conversation.

Well, he is fine.

He is fine.

I couldn't help it. You saw that?

I did.

Uh--

LC, I don't know why you have to go into that place.

It is beneath you.

Donna, you know why.

OK? My brothers work for Big Sam from time to time.

But you don't have to.

Come on.

LC, you are a college man,

not a thug.

I'm a Duncan.

All right?

OK, wait a minute.

So you're trying to tell me that you were a prostitute?

Um...

And Pops was with Ms. Donna first?

Yeah.

- OK. - That sums it up.

OK.

OK, so he--he cheated on her with you,

and not the other way around?

What the hell? How did--how did we get here?

There's just a lot more to this story, honey.

Oh, my lord.

What?

Mm, mm, mm.

Wow.

I just never realized you look so much like your grandfather.

My grandfather?

Yeah, my father.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Please tell me about him.

Well, he was a doctor.

Tall and handsome.

And he didn't take anyone's shit.

He took the best care of our family.

And just like your father and you,

ooh, that man could wear a suit!

Mm, mm, mm.

I think that's one of the reasons

why I fell in love with LC.

Because he looked good in a suit?

No--well, maybe a little bit.

But mainly because he was...

very much like my father,

in a lot of ways.

He was a real man.

We made a great team in the beginning.

You really did love Papa.

Yeah.

I did.

* *

Donna,

are you sure your dad doesn't want me wearing his tie?

I don't want to piss him off. I'm trying to impress him.

My daddy has so many of these ties,

he won't even realize this one is missing.

And he's already impressed by you.

He said I could marry you, didn't he?

Yeah, but that was your mom and him

trying to just make you happy.

That man scares the shit out of me.

LC, there is nothing to be scared of.

He likes you, OK?

You are smart, dependable,

well-mannered, and most of all,

you have a bright future ahead of you.

You are going to do big things, sir.

And I'm going to be right there with you.

I hope so.

It's going to be tough living up to his standards.

Don't worry about that right now, OK?

What you need to be focused on

is this job interview you're going to, OK?

This is the first step to our amazing future together.

You are going to get this job.

Then we're going to get a big, nice house,

have plenty of children,

starting with LC Duncan, Jr.

LC Duncan, Jr.?

- Mm-hmm. - Oh, I like the sound of that.

You should, as much as I love you.

- Well, I love you, too, babe. - Aww.

Well?

Hmm.

I love the look of this.

- I do look good, don't I? - Mm-hmm.

You look powerful because that's what you are, LC Duncan.

You are a powerful man, just like my daddy.

- Mm-hmm. - Thank you, babe.

Now, go get that job!

* Baby, we can work it out *

Yeah.

Well, you.

Oh, you--

You look great.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

So you see, your grandfather did not play.

- No, he didn't. - No, nuh-uh-uh.

He had to be a strong man to have Pops shook like that.

Which is why you need to understand that,

yes, you are a Duncan.

But you also have another bloodline in you, too, Junior.

I think it's time you show LC, Chippy,

and the rest of them you really are a boss.

How exactly do I do that?

Me. I'm going to show you.

I want you to meet some friends of mine.

Hmm?

All right.

So let me get dressed because you, you look magnificent.

You must get it from your mom.

Thanks, Mom.

* *

* Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo *

* Doo, doo, doo *

Hey, excuse me!

Can I help you?

I'm looking for the owner of that car.

Oh. That would be me.

Are you sure?

The person that told me to check out the car was a man.

Oh, well, that would be my son,

but he's not here right now.

I'm in charge of selling the car.

Shit.

He said he was going to give me a good deal.

Do you know where I could find him?

I'm trying to talk to him today.

Uh, well, you'd have to call him because he's not here.

Why?

Well, I sent him down south to Georgia.

What for?

To handle some business.

You got a lot of questions for somebody trying to buy a car.

Thanks for your help today.

Hey, hey, hey! What about the car?

Well, what about it?

So you two have pretty much, um,

hated each other from day one?

Day one.

The two of them have had more fights than

Mayweather and Bobby the Beast combined.

Mm.

Yeah.

* *

* *

* *

Uh, your little friend here.

* There's no escaping *

* It's in my blood *

* It's in my face *

* *

OK.

- Thank you. - There you go.

OK. OK.

- What's going on, Sam? - What's up, Sam?

- How are you doing, man? - How are y'all doing?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, LC.

Hey, Chippy.

Just wanted to say thank you for the book.

Oh. No worries at all.

- I'm glad you're enjoying it. - Yeah.

- Come over here. - You were right.

Really good.

Tell me about it.

Let's meet up and talk more about it, you know?

Maybe have some wine or something.

Ahem. Are you ready, LC?

We're going to be late for the movies.

Uh, no, we won't. I'll be right there.

Just hold up.

Um, yeah, so--

Mm.

Uh, LC?

Let's go.

- Let's go, LC. - I'll see you.

Donna, I'm coming, OK?

Yeah, Donna. He coming.

Just let the man finish the conversation

he's having with the young lady first.

Uh, she is far from a lady, first of all.

And secondly, uh,

what would he have to be talking to her about?

None of your business. That's what, Ms. Insecure.

Ooh. Donna, this is Chippy.

We were just talking about a book.

- That's all. - A book?

Really? A book?

I did not know that whores could read.

Ooh!

Donna. Come on.

Come on.

Girl, you're funny!

But you call me a whore again,

and I'm gonna knock your ass into--

Oh, I'm gonna call you a little whore.

I swear I will knock your ass into last week, bitch.

Yeah, because you're up here selling ass for cash, girl.

- Let me tell you! - That's all you can do.

You don't even know what a fucking school looks like.

And for the record, this makes anything

that you talk to him about my motherfucking business.

- Donna, please go to the car. - Come on, Donna.

Go to the car.

- Do what he said. - Get off of me.

Do what he said, Donna.

- Bye! - Ooh, she say something--

Bye!

Look, I'm sorry.

That was uncalled for and unnecessary.

- Are you all right? - I'm OK.

I owe you an apology, too, because I am better than that.

So--

I'm just gonna come up out of that bad space.

But you know like Brother Malcolm said?

If you don't have any critics,

you likely will have no success, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Look, so maybe tomorrow we can get together

and talk about this book.

All right?

Uh, how about your fiancée?

Uh, don't worry about her.

- I'm a grown man. - Good.

- I can handle that. - Because she is not invited.

All right, then, Charlotte. See you soon.

- Have a good night. - All right, we'll see.

Have fun at the movies, y'all.

We'll further talk about that.

A hell of a woman there, man.

She sure is.

* *

Hello?

- Hey, LC. It's me.

How are you, Larry?

I wasn't expecting to hear from you.

Yeah, I know.

You probably hate me now, huh, bro?

Hate's a strong word, Larry.

You're my brother.

I'll always love you, but what you did to me and my family,

it'll take a while to get over that.

Words cannot express how sorry I am

that I caused so much chaos and confusion.

At Fresh Meadows, I just wasn't myself.

It's all right, Larry.

I know you weren't in the right mental state.

- Yeah, well, the good news is, I've been taking my meds,

and I've managed to stay out of trouble.

- Well, I hope you continue to stay out of it, too.

Yeah. Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

How's my family, LC?

I know Nee Nee is probably done with me by now.

Your family's fine, Larry.

I don't think Nee Nee will ever be done with you.

I'll tell her you're OK.

Yeah.

Well--

How about you, huh?

How are you and Chippy doing and the kids?

I'm recovering.

They're good, for the most part.

For the most part?

What, is somebody fucking with you?

Just give me a name. I don't need a reason.

What's going on?

Well, it's a little situation with Junior.

- He's upset with everybody. - With Junior?

What the hell is Junior upset about?

He's the most jovial person in the whole family.

He was, but things have changed

since he found out the truth about his Aunt Donna

being his mother.

Oh, hell no.

I thought you were going to take that to the grave.

I thought so, too.

I guess you tell a lie so long,

you start to believe it's the truth.

But to answer your question, it was Donna.

Donna?

What--

Well, you got to look at good news where you can find it.

At least you didn't marry her ass.

Yeah.

I guess I came kind of close, didn't I?

There's that.

You damn sure dodged a bullet then, bro.

LC, I miss you, bro.

Damn, I miss you.

* *

* *

Where have you been?

The wedding rehearsal ended 15 minutes ago.

My mama is losing her mind, and my daddy doesn't think

you're going to show up tomorrow.

Let's go.

Donna, I'm sorry.

You can apologize later.

We need to get to this rehearsal dinner

before everybody thinks the wedding is off.

Donna, the wedding is off.

LC, why are you acting like this?

You're not funny.

I'm not trying to be funny, Donna.

I can't marry you.

The fuck you can't!

Donna, we're in a church, OK?

Stop cussing.

I don't give a shit!

Do you think that my parents shelled out all of this money

so that I could have the wedding of my dreams

for you to have cold feet?

No.

You are marrying me, LC Duncan.

Sorry, but I can't.

But why can't you?

Don't you know how much I love you?

I do.

I'm just not ready.

But what?

Don't you love me?

Donna, I do love you,

but I'm in love with somebody else.

What did you just say?

I'm in love with Chippy.

The whore?

Fuck you, LC!

I deserve that.

But it doesn't change the fact that I can't marry you.

No.

I'm sorry.

No, wait.

Please, please, please.

We can talk about this, LC.

* *

You know what?

Yeah, go be with your whore!

Yeah.

You'll regret this, LC Duncan.

And I'm going to make sure of it

if it is the last thing that I do.

- * The things that I wanna do *

* The person I wanna be *

* When I'm wide awake *

* All my troubles seem to fade away *

* And I'm ready, yes, I'm ready *

* To take on a brand new day *

* *

* Fly, fly, fly away *

* Fly, fly, fly away, ooh *

* Fly, fly, fly away *

* Fly, fly, fly away *

I let you switch yours three times--

Hey, you busy?

Not anymore.

GG, see you tomorrow.

What's up?

Remember that license plate that you pulled up

on the church computer?

I need more information on the owner.

I'm going to have to start charging for this, man.

Your payment is me not telling mom

that you're helping me do something

that she told me not to do.

Oh, you'd stoop that low?

Lower if I could.

Look, I need to know, does she have any kids?

That's all?

I can do that in my sleep, man.

There we go.

She's got one child, a son, Brandon Wilson.

Pull him up.

Here he is.

That's him.

That's the dude that he was with.

- Damn it! - What?

I thought you'd be happy I found him.

I would be if I could find him.

I spoke to his mother today. She sent him away to Georgia.

You spoke to his mother?

That's not important. What's important, Nevada,

is that I got to figure out how I'm going to find him

all the way in Georgia.

I mean, if you want to find someone in Georgia,

we both know the perfect person.

Who?

Curtis.

Curtis.

* *

Hmm.

OK, this is interesting.

What is?

It's your blood work--

and specifically your testosterone levels.

What about it?

It's through the roof.

The same as a 30-year-old.

Is that a bad thing?

Oh, no, really.

Um, did you try those supplements we spoke about?

Yeah.

My diet hasn't changed recently,

and I didn't even try those supplements.

But my work routine has been a little more

exciting these days.

- Oh. - Yeah.

And my wife and I, we've been having sex a lot more often.

Oh. Well, good.

I'm glad things are improving for you, Mr. Duncan.

Everyone's been sleeping on Junior Duncan way too long.

Time is now.

No more playing second fiddle to Vegas or Orlando.

You're gonna put some respect on my name.

The real boss man is here.

You're early.

* *

Oh, God.

This shit is getting real annoying.

Yeah, I agree.

Believe me, I'm not exactly thrilled

being here myself, Junior.

Yet, here I am.

I would offer you a seat, but you won't be staying long,

especially since I've told everyone multiple times

that I have nothing to say to anyone.

Yeah, I'm aware that you're still holding

your grudge, Junior.

And honestly, I'm over the little silent treatment

you're giving everybody.

Then why the hell are you here?

And matter of fact, you can leave.

I'm going to leave when I'm ready to leave.

And the reason that I'm here

has got nothing to do with Mom, Dad, or Aunt Donna.

The woman who gave birth to me, which makes her my mother.

So put some respect on her name.

Oh, whatever, whoever, however, Junior.

I'm not here for that shit.

I get it. You quit the family.

You don't want to have shit to do with us.

Fine.

That's your decision, no matter how asinine it is.

My question is,

did you quit your job, too, Junior?

My job?

The garage at the dealership is--

I'm not--not--

I am not talking about the garage, Junior.

I am talking about the position that you asked Pop for,

watching the Italians.

Because truth be told, shit has been going sideways

since you've been gone.

- Damn. - Damn is right.

So I want to know-- no, we want to know--

are you still loyal to the business, Junior?

I hear what you're saying.

Before I answer your question, Vegas,

let me ask you one.

What?

Did you know?

Did I know what, Junior?

All the time that Donna was my biological mother?

Yes, I did.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to hurt you, man.

That's bullshit.

And to answer your question,

fuck that job, for the both of them.

When it comes to you Duncans,

I'm as loyal to y'all as you were to me.

Well, I guess I got my answer.

Now, I'm ready to leave.

Drive safe.

- Yeah, Curtis. - What's up, Vegas?

I got some information for you that's quite interesting.

Word?

That'll be music to my ears right about now.

You good?

You sound kind of stressed, man.

What's going on?

I was just trying to talk some sense into Junior.

Wound up backfiring.

The dude is so hell bent on being unreasonable,

determined to put Donna's ass on some kind of pedestal

and treat everybody else like trash.

Yeah, he is.

Look, man, I know you ain't asked for my opinion

about what's going on, but if someone ain't honest with him

real soon, man, this whole shit is going to implode.

And see, that's the point, Curtis.

I was honest with him.

He asked me if I knew the truth.

I told him I did, and that's when he lost it.

But, Vegas, did you tell him everything that you knew?

Did you tell him exactly how all this shit went down?

Shit, if it wasn't for Aunt Chippy saving his life,

he might be dead right now.

Yeah, I see your point.

Good.

So if I was you, I'd go back over there and tell him.

He deserves to know, man.

Yeah, thanks, cuz.

I'll see you back at the house.

- All right. I'll see you when you get here.
