Trouble Man (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[phone ringing]

What?

[on phone]

Yo Jax.

Get the f*ck up.

I'm about to help you

get paid bro.

[giggles]

Well, you remember Ms. Jordan?

Well, she asked me

to talk to you.

Remember that daughter Lisa?

Well she wound up marrying

a doctor.

Some cat named Myers.

Well, the doctor's been

knocking her around man.

And Ms. Jordan promised

she'd holler at you

about checkin' his

'lil a*s.

I know you don't like f*cking

with domestic drama

and all that bro,

but I know how you don't much

like bullies either.

You get his little a*s

pregnant,

that's worth about

Two G's right there.

Ms. Jordan just has $500.

But yeah, I'm gonna kick in

another $1500.

Doc's supposed to be some little

bitty mother f*ck.

Just scare his 'lil punk a*s,

man.

That should do the trick.

Little bitty mother f*ck...

Question mark.

Question mark.

Question mark.

I'm gonna f*ck you up Ree Ree.

Exclamation point.

Got you, man.

I got you, brother.

Another one. Come on.

Push that sh*t.

Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

All you, all you, brother.

There it is.

Thanks for the spot.

Bob Myers, I ain't ever seen

you right before.

You a new trainer?

Tell me something.

At your size, was it hard

to become a surgeon?

Cuz I'd imagine the instruments

wouldn't fit in your

hand properly.

You're not here to work out,

are you?

I come to you this morning

in reference

to a personal matter that

has not become

a matter of business to me.

This matter is of an

instance of

spousal abuse

committed by you, doctor.

upon one Lisa Myers,

your wife.

Now, I assure you Mrs. Myers

knows nothing of this meeting

and has had no part in hiring

my services.

I'm working on behalf

of concerned individuals

whose sole purpose is to bring a

cease to this matter.

In other words,

that hitting your wife sh*t's

gotta stop.

What are you, a cop?

Private detective?

Lawyer?

I'm Jaxen, and my message is

simple, never hit her again.

And who the hell do you think

you are, n*gg*r?

What do you want me to say?

I'm sorry,

I'll never hit her again.

You will before you leave

this room.

Call me that word again and

you won't be able to.

I can't believe

this sh*t.

First of all, you don't even

know what she did.

You don't come into my gym and

chastise me about my wife.

You better get the f*ck out of

here while you still can.

You're gonna be sorry you ever

stuck your nose in my business.

[thud]

Sit your a*s down.

I don't know who raised you,

but I don't care what she said.

Or what she did.

There's no reason to put your

hands on a woman.

But a m*therf*cker as

big as you?

That's some real

punk a*s sh*t.

I bet you probably were a big

deal wherever you grew up.

Huh?

You just missed out on

some essential

character building

a*s-whoopings,

that's all.

Now I give you my word, I'm not

gonna tell anybody about this.

Violence was not my aim,

nor was it to humiliate you.

Man, we got to be better

than this, man.

I mean, this black on black

violence has to stop.

I'm not talking about me.

Here's a suggestion.

Here's what you do.

You make a grip,

so buy her some

jewelry, a nice dress,

a dozen roses,

but promise to get therapy,

and take her on a nice vacation.

If she asks you why you

look so f*cked up,

just tell her that you

took an MMA class

at the gym, and the other

guy looks worse.

Aight?

What are you supposed to say?

I'm sorry.

I'll never do it again.

My man.

Today's the day

Yeah

Trouble, trouble,

trouble, trouble

Trouble, trouble,

trouble, trouble

I'm trouble

Another day,

another struggle

You monkeys

in the middle

won't make it out

of the jungle

Try knock my hustle

I knock you out

on the tussle

Got five knuckle shuffle

bust your mouth

in a scuffle

Money, power and muscle

Like hot-potato we juggled

Before I hit you

with the draco

I hot-potato

the muzzle

Don't take my kindness

for humble

or take my silence

for subtle

When money talking

be quiet

The balance is

probably butter

When that's

trouble

Enemies bleed

in the puddle

With somebody's

missing teeth

Like a missing

piece of the puzzle

If I don't snuff you,

my team is plotting to

stuff you in this box

I'm fittin' to shove you

You get the plot

and the shovel

I'm a O.G. but double

is the bag like a double

I'm the plug

that can plug you

but different

if I don't trust you

Now judge who?

When the judge and jury

corrupt too.

Cause in the system

ain't no justice

It's just you

I don't know you.

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Why you gotta

do me like that?

I guess don't know you.

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Why you gotta do me like that?

You know I'm trouble baby

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music]

Love is inviting,

you got me exciting

I love the way

you bring me joy

[Jahari sighs]

[Unc]

Okay, cut.

All right, it ain't gonna get

no better than that.

That's all I got.

Take five.

Yo, baby.

What?

Baby girl, baby girl.

That was all right.

But you singing that sh*t,

but you damn sure not feeling

that sh*t.

I'm tired.

You know what I'm saying?

You too damn young to be

that damn lazy.

You nobody lazy, Unc.

We've been in here since

6 o'clock last night.

It's 7 o'clock in the morning,

and I am through.

If you can't find nothing out of

all that sh*t that we cut,

then why don't you go

sing it then?

I'm not trying to stress you.

You know what I'm saying?

But if you keep singing that old

a*s sound and weak a*s sh*t,

and it flops, you're gonna look

at me crazier than a

m*therf*cker,

and you know it.

Unc, I know you mean well, but

when I'm in there singing

my a*s off,

and you telling me that I'm

singing with no feeling,

you think that's gonna make

me sing better?

No.

I'm trying to put

my foot in your behind

and get you where

you need to be.

Unc, I love you.

I'm going to bed.

I love you.

I love you too.

Take your little a*s home,

get some rest,

but you better be back

here on time tomorrow

to do what you

need to do.

[Jahari sighs]

[door opens]

Hey, babe.

I know you're probably

still asleep.

I'm about to knock out.

I hit you around two.

Love you.

Goodnight.

Damn, Eddie, you've really

fallen off.

You usually open a car door

for me when I come in.

You must be more tired

than I am.

Sorry, Ms. Jahari.

Eddie's out sick.

I'm Roger.

You're in good hands.

[club music]

[crowd chatter]

[crowd chatter continues]

We need two more up front.

We've got Crossy coming

with five VIPs.

Yeah, yeah.

[pop music]

Hello, Big Will.

How you feeling?

I'm fine, good.

All right, all right, Captain.

Boom.

Boom, get your a*s out of here.

Now, I warned you about that

drug sh*t, okay?

Now you're banned.

Don't come back to the club.

Look, if you wasn't

Pookie's brother,

I'd have you arrested.

Now get out.

You too, big man.

I ain't going anywhere,

m*therf*cker.

[sigh]

Bro.

Relax.

And leave.

n*gga, you got to put me out.

Gage.

Yes, boss.

I need you to come to

the men's room

and take Boom and his boy

from off the floor

and get their asses out.

Copy.

Gage.

Now don't hurt nobody.

Just take them out gently.

You copy?

Copy.

Damn.

Hey, man, you look like

new money.

Come on in office,

let me tighten you up.

I ought to tighten you up.

[laughs]

You could have told me

the doctor was a big,

The Rock-looking

m*therf*cker.

That sh*t was funny though,

wasn't it?

Yeah, hilarious.

You know, Big Stevie's

mom passed.

Ah, send my condolences.

Yeah.

And give this back to

Ms. Jordan.

You should be ashamed

of yourself

taking that woman's money.

I'm not ashamed, but when am

I going to get my money back?

What?

What?

What?

[romantic music playing]

[romantic music continues]

Okay, now.

I'm seriously regretting

my life decisions.

How could I have let

you get away,

and how could you be

more beautiful?

Jax, it's so good to see you.

What have you been up

to these days?

Well, this is it.

I'm heading security here.

I started doing it after

I left the PD.

Sit down.

I'm surprised to see

you were here.

I didn't think clubs were

your thing.

Oh, they're not.

But times change.

I'm actually here checking

out this band

for a potential gig

I might want to book them for.

I'm doing event planning now.

By yourself?

Sometimes.

But you do know

I know how to handle myself.

[laughs]

What?

I'm sitting here trying

to figure out

how and why

did we lose touch.

Funny.

I was thinking the same thing.

A hell of a jump.

Going from the morgue

to throwing parties.

Yeah, too much death,

not enough life.

But I'm so glad I left because

I'm really enjoying it.

I'm making good money,

meeting interesting people.

It's a lot of good opportunity

for me.

How does your man feel

about you

being out all hours

of the night?

Well, while I am an independent

sister, if I had a man,

I wouldn't be out with you at

one in the morning.

If he was confident about

what he has,

then he wouldn't

sweat it.

[Gina laughs]

Okay, so you're saying you'd

have absolutely no problem

if I was out with

a handsome brother

such as yourself

if you were my man?

If I was your man, you wouldn't

want for anything, so yeah.

But it probably

wouldn't happen.

So where's your office?

I'm in the Calico Arts building.

Huh? Know it well.

It's right around the corner

from my place.

You live over there?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I didn't know security jobs

pay like that.

[laughs]

They don't.

I do odd jobs for people,

and one cat

chose to pay me with the crib

instead of cash.

And what kind of odd

jobs do you do

that pay you in real estate?

Well, it's not like I'm a

hit man or anything.

I just...

I just help people out of

tight situations.

And I guess some situations are

tighter than others.

Mm-hmm.

I thought you'd be a

lawyer by now.

Yeah, me too.

But turns out I didn't want

to live like that.

I could probably be doing

a little bit better

than I am now,

but I do get to sleep at night.

And I know a lot of cops and

lawyers who don't.

But enough about me.

We still haven't figured out why

we didn't make us happen.

That's easy.

Me, starting my own business.

You, a cop in law school.

Not exactly the best

setting for

something to jump off

romantically.

What about this?

This is romantic.

It's late.

The lights are low.

Look, I ain't gonna lie

to you, Jax.

I've always liked you.

And it is really, really

good to see you.

But you know I won't do

one night stands.

So look, you have my number.

Why don't you give me a call

when you have some free time?

[phone buzzing]

And maybe we can hang.

[phone buzzing]

How about now?

[laughs]

This is my place.

And this is nice.

I love your artwork.

Wish I could take credit for it,

but it came with a place.

I guess this is what odd

jobs get you, huh?

Yeah.

[laughs]

No way.

[dramatic music]

What?

Wait, wait.

I never taught you

up to that level.

Well, you weren't the only

Wing Chun teacher in Atlanta.

And I definitely wasn't one of

those silly girls

who was trying to get with

the hot instructor.

When we moved on,

I kept training.

Oh it's like that.

Okay, all right.

Challenge accepted.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music

continues]

[dramatic music]

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

[bell rings]

Thank you.

Oh no, I'll be right back.

[dramatic music]

Uh-oh.

[g*n c*ck]

You need to get dressed.

You're coming with us.

Come with you where?

Holland needs to talk to you,

right now.

He forgot how to use

a f*cking phone?

Listen, that last thing you

pulled with him,

he prefer to do business

like this.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Ain't no hey, hey,

I gotta g*n.

Listen, listen,

put the f*cking g*n down.

-I'm not putting this g*n down.

-Hey, look, could you--

I'm not looking at,

get your sh*t on, let's go.

I don't like g*ns, okay?

Don't get shot by one then.

Could you please put the

f*cking g*n down?

No, I wanna sh**t you.

You need to calm your a*s down

and shut the f*ck up.

Man, first, I don't like g*ns.

I don't give a f*ck

what you like.

Second, what sense

does it make?

We gonna go

all the way downtown

with a big a*s g*n in my face.

Man, shut your f*cking mouth.

It's broad daylight.

Shut your f*cking mouth,

come on.

Are you that stupid?

-I got the f*cking g*n.

-Yes, you do.

-I'm doing the talking.

-I see you have your g*n.

-Yes.

-But do you have brains?

I'm gonna sh**t your a*s.

What f*cking sense does it make

to go all the way downtown with

a f*cking g*n in my face?

You gonna find out.

-You gotta put it down sometime.

Never.

Right, you gotta drive the

f*cking car, right?

You gotta put it down to

drive the car,

put the g*n away.

-I'm not stupid.

-Man, you are stupid.

You make me sh**t your a*s.

You can't sh**t me.

I wanted to sh**t you in 1985.

Make me sh**t your a*s.

What we gonna do,

go all the way downtown?

Bro, you ain't gonna tell me

what you do.

With a big a*s g*n in

my f*cking face.

You gotta put the m*therf*cker

down at some point.

No, no, I really don't.

You want me to get dressed,

right?

Get dressed,

let's go.

Okay, how do I get dressed?

Are you gonna go with me

to the bedroom

with a big a*s f*cking

g*n in my face?

You eventually have to put the

g*n down anyway, right?

Why don't you just put it down

now and let me get dressed?

Am I making sense, right?

You're stupid, m*therf*cker.

I don't need this sh*t.

[crash]

sh*t.

[dramatic, upbeat music]

[dramatic, upbeat music]

[thud]

Willis, I'm sending

two guys down

who tripped over themselves.

[on PA] You mean them two,

big n*gg*s?

You know how I feel about

that word, Willis.

And yes, them.

Sorry about that.

Well, when those two fools

get downstairs,

make sure they don't

come back up.

You ain't got to worry

about that.

You know I keep my

Roscoe on me.

What you talking about, Wil-?

What are you saying, Willis?

My military issued,

45 Colt.

There's no need for all

of that, Willis.

Just make sure that you

escort them out.

Just want to let you know

I got your back.

Thank you.

[doorbell rings]

Do you have an appointment,

sir?

Yeah, your as*h*le boss made

it this morning.

Sir, you can't go in there.

You brothers gonna have to

reschedule your meeting.

I'm sorry Mr. Holland,

I tried to stop him.

That's all right, Loni.

Please escort Loco out.

Loni will take care of you

while I deal with

Action Jaxen here.

I'll catch up with you

guys later

and we can close this deal.

Don't worry, Loni,

just close the door behind you

and hold all my calls.

Will do.

What up, black man?

Yeah, f*ck all that fake

black man sh*t.

Two of your clowns came

to see me

and my property got destroyed.

Why'd you send them two dumb

m*therf*ckers to see me?

You know what, f*ck all that.

Just replace my sh*t

so I can get the f*ck on.

I sent them dumb m*therf*ckers.

Cause I wanna hire you.

Well, you gotta f*cked up way of

hiring a brother.

Replace my sh*t,

let's call it two grand.

Loni, go down to accounting

and get $2,000.

Cash.

Tell the accountant

to charge it

to the Loco's recording budget.

Already stealing from

these guys

and you ain't even signed

them yet.

Stay in your lane.

Gonna take her a minute to

get the cash, so.

You may as well hear me out.

Two minutes?

In a nutshell, I need you

to find Jahari.

To find her?

Was she lost?

Well, you know she is our

biggest selling act

and also my biggest source

of aggravation.

She has a new album

ready to drop

and [pop]

she just disappeared.

Call the cops.

I can't do that.

I'm about to take the

company public

and if people find out

I can't handle

my main instrument

of cash flow,

your offer will be dead before

it gets off the ground.

Thank you.

I don't understand it.

There's a whole lot

of other cats

you could hide for less money

and less headache.

And besides, I don't like

your a*s no way.

Didn't you?

used to be her bodyguard?

What's with the air quotes,

m*therf*cker?

Yeah, I was her bodyguard

and nothing else.

Then who was the song

about, huh?

Who?

Who?

Some other kung fu bodyguard

she in love with.

Who?

Well, evidently.

And she don't wanna deal with

your dumb a*s no more.

But sh*t, I'm proud that you-

Oh, I know you don't

wanna do this.

[sighs]

I had hoped I wouldn't have

to tell you this

to get you to take the job.

She's using heroin again.

g*dd*mn it.

Man, that sh*t almost k*lled

her the last time.

Last time she vanished,

we managed to keep it

from the press.

She could be on a gutter,

a holdup somewhere

getting high.

But I need her back here,

clean,

and ready to promote

this album.

That's all you care

about, right?

The f*cking album.

Drugs and singers

are a way of life.

Jimi Hendrix,

Billie Holiday,

and the list goes on and on.

I didn't get her hooked

on drugs,

but I have to deal with

it on my own.

sh*t is f*cked up

and I can't have that.

So name your price.

I need her back here.

$50 grand.

$25 now.

$25 on delivery.

If you had all that

in your safe,

why didn't you reimburse

my property from there?

If I had reimbursed you

from there,

you wouldn't have stayed

to hear my offer.

$50 grand, kinda steep.

Glad to see you got a price,

just like everybody else.

I'm not gonna promise you

a damn thing.

I'ma see what turns up.

Hey, Loni, is it?

Yes.

Loni, I'm so sorry I barged

past you like that.

And if he gives you any

flag for it,

just give me a call.

Please.

I was hired as a secretary.

I ain't security.

I'm wondering if you could

do me a favor.

Look, I'm trying to find Jahari

for a*s-bucket in there

and I'm not certain

he's telling me everything.

Oh, Mr. Jones, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no, it's not

Mr. Jones, it's Jaxen.

And I'm not gonna ask you

to do anything

that might get you

into trouble.

Just if you hear or see anything

that might help,

give me a call.

All right,

I think I can do that.

Now make sure your name

stays out of it, okay?

Okay.

All right, and?

I want you to take this and

have a nice dinner with me.

Oh, I definitely can do that.

All right, talk to you soon.

Mm-hmm.

[phone ringing]

Holland here.

[on phone]

Am I on speaker?

No, I don't have you

on speaker.

Yeah, listen,

I understand your concern

and the circumstances

created the outcome

that we are dealing with.

So let's move forward.

We know the offer

is going public in this.

[beeping]

Hello?

Hello?

f*ck!

You two fine to be working

and I can make that happen.

Okay.

Yeah, I can make that happen.

Hey, excuse us.

Oh, excuse me,

hey man, this is my club.

Hey baby, I'll be right back.

What's going on?

Man, if God made anything else,

He kept it for Himself.

Man, that girl was

fine as hell.

You was c*ck-blocking, man.

I'm sitting there rapping

with her.

I almost had her.

And here you come,

outta nowhere.

Yeah, so Ree,

I'm gonna need to take

some time off

T can hold things down

while I'm gone.

Why, what's up?

Holland hired me to

find your Jahari.

Man, why you keep f*cking

with this dude?

You know he ain't sh*t.

Yeah, yeah, I know,

but the bag is good.

And look, he told me she's

on that sh*t again.

Now, if she's out there a while

and I wanna make sure

I get to her

before something else does.

Hey man, why you keep trying

to be this girl's savior?

I'm not.

I just wanna make sure

she's okay, that's all.

I hope that's all,

because I just signed papers

promoting you

as Admiral, Save-A-Hoe.

Don't make me send

that sh*t in.

We've been out of touch

for years,

so I don't have any leads on

where she might be now.

Well, you know what,

last I knew

she was hanging with some

cat named Money.

He's supposed to be some

big baller or whatever,

but I don't know what

his game is.

You know where I might

find him?

They say he owns an after-hour

called Moneymakers.

It's on Euclid,

that's what I know.

Say on Euclid?

sh*t.

I'll catch you later.

We had what I thought was a

beautiful night together.

I sent you a very meaningful

gift, I call you,

and you have the audacity

to hang up on me.

I know we haven't seen each

other in a long a*s time,

but if this is how you operate,

I'm good.

Fine, keep the flowers.

Oh, so that's how you get down,

just walk away?

Yes, I am mad, Jax,

but it doesn't mean

we can't talk about it.

I thought you were better

than this.

I guess this really was

a one night stand.

Oh, hell no,

look, and you're right,

I am better than this.

It's just that some crazy sh*t

jumped off after you left,

and when you called,

I was in the middle

of dealing with it.

Look, this new job came up,

we're gonna have to chill

for a minute.

I don't understand, what does a

new job have to do with us?

I've been hired to find

somebody,

and if it gets crazy, I don't

want you anywhere near it.

Who the hell you gotta find?

It's not important.

If it's not important,

then why can't you tell me?

Damn, is this how

it's gonna be with you?

Well, Jax, don't give me

that bullshit.

If you can't talk to me,

then we are wasting our time.

Barnes Holland hired me

to find this singer, Jahari.

Oh, the singer?

Jax, I didn't forget that you

used to mess around with her.

No, I was just her bodyguard.

Come on, Jax,

just be straight up with me.

Clearly that song she wrote

was about you.

Gina, please, let's not make

this something it's not.

My life isn't usually

this f*cked up.

Just let me get this job done,

and we can pick up

where we left off, okay?

Fine.

Do what you gotta do,

and I'll do the same.

But whether you realize

it or not,

this dude right here

is not the same man

I was with last night.

[dramatic music]

Excuse me, brothers.

Sorry to push up on you

brothers like this,

but I need to have a word

with Money.

How do you know me?

I didn't,

until I said your name

and your guys looked

right at you.

Look, you don't know me,

but I know something

that went down

that you might be interested in.

So spill it.

Believe me, you don't want this

said out in the open.

[on TV] You sweep back at you,

take him.

He's our future, bro.

Take him.

You know why I dig these

flicks, man?

m*therf*ckers took no sh*t

from nobody.

The white man, brothers,

b*tches, nobody.

I respect that ideology.

They'd go down in flames for

what they believed

if it came to that.

I live by that sh*t.

So what's up?

What you want my old lady, bro?

Not me.

It's her record company.

They hired me to find her,

well...

they feel like she's missing.

[laughs]

Cigar?

No thank you.

Damn.

Can't offer a brother nothing,

huh?

Whatever.

Look, she told me a couple

of weeks ago

that she was going on a DL,

said she sick of all that

record company sh*t,

so you can go back to Holland's

punk a*s

and tell him she good.

When's the last time

you seen her?

Couple of days ago.

Call her.

See if she answers.

All right.

If that'll close this up.

[phone ringing]

My boy said you was a cop.

Sent him up for a two year bid.

Used to be.

Now I'm sort of a fixer.

And I head security

at Club Bank.

You that cat?

Yeah, I heard about you.

Kung fu and sh*t, right?

Why you f*cking with a buster

like Holland?

[phone ringing]

Long story.

What's your game anyway?

Nobody seems to have you

figured out.

That's the way I like it.

No drugs, no hoes,

other than that.

Anything goes.

What's this for?

We going to her crib.

It never take her this

long to answer.

No thanks.

I don't like 'em.

You a strange m*therf*cker

Jaxen.

[door closes]

sh*t, I furnished this

m*therf*cker.

Who could have done this sh*t?

Jahari!

Jahari!

Baby?

Jahari!

Baby?

Baby!

Jahari!

Baby, where you at?

Baby?

Jahari!

m*therf*cker has

got me f*cked up.

That m*therf*ckers think they

could just take my woman

and I ain't gonna do nothing.

Brother, de-escalate man.

You don't even know who

took her yet.

Okay, what are you gonna do?

Start beating up people randomly

till somebody talks?

Yeah, that's exactly what

I'm gonna do.

What you expect me to do?

I'm supposed to just sit

here like a b*tch,

waiting for her to show up?

Hey look,

hey remember Superfly?

Ron O'Neal was trying to get

out of the drug game.

This ain't no f*cking

movie n*gga.

You look, I ain't with

that n*gga sh*t.

Call me m*therf*cker

if you must.

This ain't a movie

m*therf*cker.

Thank you.

Point is, Superfly

didn't just break out.

He had a plan.

We have to have a plan, Money.

All right, Blackbelt Jones,

what's the plan?

Give me till the weekend,

all right?

Without you blowing sh*t up.

If I don't find her,

do what you gotta do.

The weekend?

That's a long a*s f*cking

time for me

to just sit on my hands

for a m*therf*cker

I don't even know.

Yeah, but you didn't even

know she was gone

till I told you, right?

Look, trust me.

It's what I do.

[crowd chattering]

There's a reality

Dropped another life

at your feet

Now that you

face another day

Jaxen.

Hey, hey, surprise.

Didn't realize you owned a tux.

Hey, is that Sebastian Cruz?

No, what are the odds,

there'd be two brothers

wearing worsted wool

from Italy.

How does it handle bloodstains?

What are you doing here?

You supposed to be looking

for Jahari.

I am.

Went to her apartment and

it was trashed.

Saw this invite

and figured something might

show itself here.

Especially since I didn't get

an invite myself.

That's simple.

I didn't want you here.

Hey, quit your bullshit.

This is about more than her

being pissed about her career.

She probably tore her place up

in a heroin induced tantrum.

That don't mean-

Oh, sh*t!

Just do your job.

Hey.

Hey.

Damn, Loni, you are looking

fine tonight.

Oh, well, thank you, Mr. Jones.

No, no, no, please.

Just call me Jax.

Okay, Jax.

I do not understand how in

the hell your boss

could get a

man of the year award.

Jax, just try to enjoy

yourself.

I am, I am.

Like who's that lady that

Holland's talking to

in the red dress?

Oh, that's Yuen Song.

She's spearheaded Mr. Holland

getting this award.

Huh, why would she do that?

Well, she invested in the

record company early

and had a lot to do with

Mr. Holland

taking the company public.

She got deep pockets.

Hi, I am so pleased with

the turnout.

Your attention to detail.

Matter of fact,

I'm ready to discuss you

setting up my next

three functions.

Oh, thank you.

I'm just so surprised that

you would take

such a personal interest in

something this small,

especially with everything you

have on your plate.

It's all a matter of

perspective, Gina.

This is a pleasant distraction

from my day-to-day chaos

of my business.

Well, here comes

my distraction.

Not a bad one?

How you doing?

Fine.

Yuen Song,

this is Mr. Jones.

Damn, Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones,

pleased to meet you.

Me as well.

You here to celebrate with

the guest of honor?

Not hardly.

The guest of honor hired me to

do some work for him,

and that's why I'm here.

What kind of work would

that be?

Well, Mr. Holland is having

a little grief

with one of his artists,

and he'd like me to help

straighten things out with her.

May I have heard of

this artist?

Well, since you are an investor,

her name is Jahari.

Excuse me, I'm gonna go

check on catering.

Jahari, I've met her once,

but that was it.

And how will you straighten

things out

between she and Holland?

Well, that depends on

the circumstances.

If you'll excuse me,

I have a few guests

I have to attend to.

Good luck, Mr. Jones.

I have no doubt you'll get even

more than you're looking for.

Well, it usually turns

out that way.

Oh, excuse me, Ms.-

Song.

Uh, sorry fellas,

I only dance with ladies.

My apologies, Mr. Jones.

Fang and Lung are

my longtime bodyguards,

and they can be a bit

overprotective.

What was it that you wanted?

I know you were instrumental in

Holland getting this award.

I guess I was just wondering,

why?

Holland's a good

creative executive,

and it's a nice enough business.

It allows me to stretch my

different muscles.

It's a pleasure speaking

with you.

Perhaps I'll see you again.

I look forward to that.

Boys.

[sniffles]

No worries, fellas.

Maybe we'll get together

and kick it sometime.

Fang, Lung, now.

What was that about?

What was what about?

You know all that

"I'm the man sh*t."

You know,

it's good to see you.

Well, I was quite surprised.

Well, this is what I do,

and this is by far the biggest

event I've had yet.

Congratulations.

Look, I don't wanna interrupt

your flow,

so I'm gonna go, okay?

Jax, hold up.

Let's talk for a minute.

I'm very disappointed

in you two.

Any attention I draw to myself

is because I orchestrate it.

Your behavior with Mr. Jones

was embarrassing.

Now compose yourselves,

no more warnings.

Look, I've been in like five

fights in the last two days.

Now that's what my life looks

like right now,

and I can't have you

up in that mix.

Wow.

Thank you.

I can't even begin to tell you

how much I appreciate

you protecting me from all

this adversity.

Because relationships only

happen if sh*t is perfect,

right?

You see, you think I'm some

weak little chick

who you gotta protect.

We could save that Tarzan sh*t

for someone else,

and when you learn how

to communicate,

give a sister a call.

Wow.

I think I figured it out.

Figured what out?

Why?

We never happened.

I don't know if we were on some

good behavior sh*t,

but I never saw this

side of you.

You were clearly not just

that fine girl

from Berkeley

with a pretty smile.

You are as ride-or-die as any

man would ever wish for.

And if I had just invested

the time back then,

maybe I would have found out.

Now that's on me.

Now I lost you one time,

and I'll be damned

if I lose you again.

[slow music]

[birds chirping]

Hey Jaxen,

tell me this your sister?

No Willis,

this is my lady, Gina.

-Hi Willis.

-How you doing?

-Nice to meet you.

-Same here.

Now Willis use to-

Get down!

[g*nshots]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[thud]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[g*n clicks]

[motorcycle engine revving]

What happened?

I think the b*llet went

in and out.

Ambulance is on the way.

You okay?

I just got shot, Jaxen.

How the f*ck would I be okay?

Sorry, your g*n

wasn't much help Willis.

Damn, that g*n is from

World w*r II.

So were the b*ll*ts.

You ever clean this thing

Willis?

Not really.

Come on man, why would the

Dragons be coming after you?

Damon, like I've been telling

you for the last 20 minutes,

I don't know who they are

or why they were sh**ting

at us, okay?

Once I find out,

I'll let you know.

Now let me go check on it,

all right?

Hey.

[footsteps]

I tried, man.

It doesn't look good.

Hang in there, okay?

Take care.

How you doing?

I don't know, Jax.

I just don't know.

[bell rings]

[phone rings]

[on phone]

Yo.

Yo yourself, n*gga.

I told you about that sh*t,

Money.

Well, it doesn't mean the

same thing nowadays.

You can dress that sh*t up

however you want.

You know where it came from.

What'd you find out?

[on phone]

I'm working on it.

But I was throwing a curve

this morning

that makes the picture

a little clearer.

I'm getting closer though.

[on phone]

Closer?

Nah, see, you got to do better

than closer, bruh.

Cause it's hard as hell sitting

up here doing nothing

when my woman

is just out there.

I mean, I know I gave

you the weekend,

[on phone] but this sh*t just

ain't in my nature, Jaxen.

Hey, just chill.

I'm sure she's safe

if what I'm thinking's right.

But in the meantime,

[on phone] I need you to

do me a big favor.

[on PA system]

Dr. Meadow, 2-9-4-5.

Dr. Meadow, 2-9-4-5.

[slow music]

[slow music continues]

[crowd chattering]

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for the owner

of this helmet.

Now this person's shot a woman

I care for very much.

And before I leave here, I'm

going to find out who did this.

Are you a cop?

No.

[laughing]

Listen, this man shot an

innocent woman.

If there's a real man

among you,

you won't condone that

kind of sh*t.

Whose helmet is this?

Charlie Chan's m*therf*cker.

Now get the f*ck out of here.

You come to tell me whose

helmet this is?

My friend, you're right.

It disgraces me,

he hurt a woman.

Forgive my insult.

[knife unsheathing]

[sharp thrust]

[heavy blows]

[speaking Mandarin]

[screaming]

[loud thuds]

[grunting]

[loud thuds]

[loud thud]

[g*nsh*t]

I got your attention now?

Okay, let's try this again.

Whose helmet is this?

You, two seconds.

Uh, uh, uh.

[g*nsh*t]

Wrong answer.

All right, who's next?

Let's say you.

The helmet belongs to

Jen Sun Lo.

He an independent hitman

from Gwinnett Park.

He was admitted to

Grady Hospital.

Taken by his partner.

I don't remember his name.

All right, his partner's name?

You!

Bruce Lee.

[g*nshots]

All right,

what's his partner's name?

That's really his name.

I know like six guys named

Bruce Lee.

It's common, like Will Smith

or James Brown.

My bad.

Bruce and Jen Sun

were renegades.

They were hired by some record

company owner.

Holland?

Yes, Barnes Holland.

He wanted to make it look

professional,

but those two are

not too bright, you know?

Well, thank you for cooperating.

You've been a big help.

Man, you ain't dying.

[g*nsh*t]

Pellets, like paintball.

Only a hell of a lot bigger.

Hurts like a m*therf*cker,

don't it?

Yo, when are we gonna see

our money.

[door closes]

So what's this about?

Right now it's about having

a g*n to your head

and not knowing if I'm gonna

pull the trigger.

You better tell me everything

you know about Song,

Jahari, and everything you

don't think I know

and hold the bullshit.

[ominous music]

Swerve was in

a financial tailspin.

I was leveraged out,

essentially screwed.

Song gave me

a high interest rate loan.

I thought I could make an above

the board deal to buy.

She tightened the screws.

She kidnapped Jahari.

Gave me five days to

take the offering public

and get her our cash

or she would have Jahari k*lled.

And what good would that do?

It would be crazy demand for

her music if she died.

You ever heard of

Pop Smoke or Nipsey Hussle

before they died?

Then she would force me to give

her Swerve to ease my debt.

Turn around and sell it

for more money

than it has ever been worth.

I hired you,

because that way it wouldn't

look like

I knew what her plan was.

She heard you were involved.

She wanted you out of the way.

She said she knew you

were trouble.

She made me hire the hitman.

And I told her if they missed,

things would get ugly.

And here we are.

Jahari probably isn't even

strung out, is she?

No.

I knew that would lock you in

to finding her.

I can't believe you would

let Jahari die.

Just to get up from under Song.

You probably don't even

want her found.

You f*ck around and let Gina get

hurt behind your bullshit.

I realize this is hard for you

to understand, Jaxen.

But I'm a businessman.

This was business.

This ain't business.

This is very personal.

You either talk,

or limp for the rest

of your life.

Okay.

All right, what you

got this time?

You sure you wanna know?

Oh no, that look.

You know what it is.

Damn Money,

you beat me every single time.

Well I tried to tell you,

never gamble with a n*gga

named Money,

but you ain't listenin'.

Come on, listen.

Hey.

Bruh.

Much appreciated.

I owed you already.

Sup.

Keep the change, shorty.

How you doin'?

Well, the doctor said

it's only a flesh wound,

so I can go home in

the morning.

I'll be fine,

but I see what you mean now

about your lifestyle.

I am so sorry you got caught

up in this,

but I'm about to close the

books on this sh*t.

So you get some rest

and I'll see you

when this is over, okay?

Yeah,

I'm not sure that's

a good idea.

I mean, I got shot, Jax,

shot.

I think you might be

wrong about me.

I might've been

down to ride with you,

but I'm definitely not

down to die.

Now I just don't know.

I guess I can understand that.

Hey.

You take care.

I stopped by your crib, picked

up all that stuff you wanted.

Cool.

It's in the truck.

I didn't know they still made

DVD players though.

You know they got

streaming now, right?

Yeah, electronic leashes.

I don't do that social media

sh*t neither.

But hey man, thanks for Gina.

Well, don't f*ck it up, okay?

Now what's up with my woman?

Well, here's the deal.

I know where she is.

Well, if you know where she is,

why are we still standing here?

I have a plan that goes

down tonight.

Get your car, I'll tell you

the rest on the way.

[car alarm chirps]

Man, how many vehicles you got?

Not counting boats

and motorcycles?

What?

[loud thud]

[coughing]

No, look.

I only reached out to Jaxen

in case there was an

investigation.

I didn't think he would

get close

but when he showed up

at the banquet,

I knew I had to get rid of him.

So you hired Chinese hit men

to make it look like the

hit came from me.

No, no, no, no,

I didn't hire miss-men.

I hired hit men.

How did I know he was

gonna get away?

Oh, but he did.

And when were you gonna tell me

of Jaxen's visit with

you today?

Look at me, I'm talking to you.

Huh?

I want you to tell me everything

you told him

about my operation.

I didn't tell him anything.

[loud thud]

[coughing]

Did that hurt?

And do you think

I believe you?

Either way, I'll find out.

You are circling the drain,

Holland.

You have 48 hours to settle

what you owe me.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

To the warehouse.

[dramatic music]

Money, I think I found her.

And there's only one man

guarding Jahari now.

Looks like Heckle and Jekyll

are back.

sh*t, I got two b*ll*ts

for each one of them b*tches

right here.

Nah, now at ease that sh*t.

We gonna bring them out to us.

Just get your guys ready.

So we gonna zip line onto

the rooftop from here?

f*ck I look like,

Tom Cruise, nah.

We gonna walk down the stairs,

cross the street and go up

the fire escape.

See, that's gonna take forever.

You got a 550 para-cord, right?

Yeah.

Check this out.

I got a hook, carabiners, and a

modified Bravo company,

BCG-AXTS Raptor from a f*cking

300 blackout AR.

We're looking at a four

foot pitch,

at roughly 40 meters.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Mm-hmm.

[g*nsh*t]

What the hell did you do

before you did

whatever the hell you do now?

I was in a boy band.

[grunting]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[grunting]

Oh, you good?

Yeah, nice rigging job, bro.

My fault?

Yeah.

Gas is dropped.

[men speaking Mandarin]

[banging]

[banging]

Yes, there's a reported gas

leak in this area

the building next door,

reported three Barkays

per square foot.

I'm gonna need you to evacuate

this building.

I'm gonna need to get in here.

We're not going anywhere.

You guys can investigate,

but only one.

One? it's gonna take two hours

to oppose the 10 minutes.

Now if the confunction

of the Barkays

reached mass production,

you may not live long.

[sighs]

My man.

[dramatic music]

How many times do I have

to tell you?

I have to go to the bathroom.

[dramatic music]

I'm telling you I'm gonna be in

here for a long time.

Get off me.

[door creaking]

What's with all the firepower?

Mind your business.

Scan the place, fellas.

You know what to do.

[scanners beeping]

[scanner beeping]

Look, there's a total

Bar-Kay concert

going on up there right now.

I need to get in there

and investigate.

Forget it.

This is about public health.

If I can't run a check, then

the new power generation

will shut you down immediately.

[on radio]

Let me get Colonel Abrams.

Just give us five minutes,

okay?

Just five minutes.

Give him five minutes.

[speaking Mandarin]

[speaking Mandarin]

[loud thud]

Oh sh*t.

[door creaking]

Looks like she got his a*s.

And must have run downstairs.

Let's go, let's go.

You take this elevator down,

I'll stay and secure

this floor.

Hey man, I don't know

what's going on,

but look, this is Pendergrass.

He was upstairs cutting

the gas off.

Look, it's less

Barkays already, look.

[beeping]

Check it out.

All right, fellas, I guess I'ma

open up this wall

so we can get the main source

to the valve.

[loud bang]

[gas hissing]

All I know is if you don't get

that m*therf*cking

g*n out of my fa--

Now that was fast.

That was fast as f*ck

right there, yeah.

You on point.

That was nice.

[suspenseful music]

Lady J?

I knew you would come.

I knew you would come.

[gas hissing]

[gas hissing]

Now!

All right, where's Jahari?

Huh?

You got nothing to say?

Well I'm gonna start sh**ting

m*therf*ckers in

5, 4, 3, 2...

[gas hissing]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Look it's a gas leak.

If you sh**t that g*n,

we'll all go up.

That's bullshit.

You sure?

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

I'm gonna come back for you.

Just stay right here, okay?

Okay.

All right, just be tight.

Okay.

[grunting]

[gas hissing]

[screams]

[suspenseful music]

[flame burning]

[flame burning]

[thud]

[grunting]

[flame burning]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[loud thud]

[speaking Mandarin]

[suspenseful music]

-No, no, no, no.

-No, no, no, no.

f*ck that!

Jahari!

Jahari!

Jahari!

Jahari!

No!

[agonized scream]

f*ck!

[whoosh of flames]

I've been waiting a long

time for this.

I ain't got no time

for this sh*t.

I'm a Raiders of the Lost Ark,

you a*s.

f*ck around and find out.

[grunting]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

You are such a disgrace.

It's really a shame the art has

been wasted on your kind.

So I think it's fitting

that you die

by your own dishonorable weapon,

don't you think?

[g*n shot]

g*dd*mn that sh*t hurt.

f*ck.

It's f*cking broken.

Mother f-

I'm damn sure she's safe.

Jax got her out, bro.

Come on, come on.

[coughing]

[glass shattering]

A private detective shot to

death on my property.

A Grammy award-winning artist

bound and burned to death.

How could you be so stupid?

There is a way out.

Yeah, yeah, that's good news.

Baby?

I knew you'd come.

Oh my God,

I miss you so much.

I missed you too.

Let me look at you, you good?

Myron, what happened

to your arm?

Myron?

Damn, what is it, payback man?

Look, it's probably a

waste of time,

but I gotta tell you anyways,

you really need to relax.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you right.

It's a waste of time.

Hey, listen Doc,

are we straight?

Yeah, we're good.

All right.

Money, how's your boy

Frankie doing?

Oh, man, he's straight.

He's straight, he had

the Kevlar on,

just some bruise ribs,

that's all.

Where's Ree Ree?

Oh, he back at the club.

Said he was meeting some

piece there.

How you though?

I've been better,

but I'm all right.

That's good, because when

I run into Holland,

-I'm gonna put a whole-

-f*ck Holland.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,

there's no need.

Holland's done.

And once Song

gets a hold of him.

Oh, so now she's gonna

own me too.

Jahari, nobody owns you.

Holland got a paper that

says otherwise.

Well, can't you get your

lawyers to

draw up a release or something?

You don't think they tried?

Got a whole paper drawn up,

signed it,

but he won't sign it.

He keeps it in his safe

and pulls it out

to remind me that I belong

to him.

Hey, I gotta stitch this up.

-You gotta come with me.

-Be careful.

He's gotta come on, come on,

come on, let's go.

You know, I'm pretty certain

I can get into that safe

and get that release signed.

Consider it my present to you.

You saved my life once.

You trying to do it again?

Well, the first time

it was a job.

Yeah, and I took it too far.

I was young,

but my therapist hit me to that.

It's called transference,

where the victim falls in love

with their rescuer.

So I think it was that.

But he also told me about

something else,

the savior complex,

which you might need to know

a little bit about.

You know I could text you

his info.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

text me that.

Your man, Money, at first I

didn't know how to take him.

But let me tell you, you got

yourself a really good cat.

Yeah.

He was about to tear up the

whole city over you.

He risked his life tonight

just to save you.

And it wasn't for a job.

Yeah, he's a good one.

What's up with you,

Action Jaxen?

You got a boo?

You finally gonna settle down?

Well, I got myself a prospect.

Okay.

Matter of fact,

I'm gonna check on her now.

All right, well don't forget

what my therapist said.

You know.

Oh, ahh...

-Savior complex.

-Savior complex.

Okay, okay.

All right.

Where's Gina Bowen?

The woman that was in this

room, where'd she go?

She checked herself out

about a half hour ago.

What, she was shot?

How could you let her leave?

What the f*ck?

So what would it make her leave

the hospital like that?

Don't make no damn sense.

Excuse me, about a half

an hour ago,

a woman in 515 was discharged.

Do you know where she went?

Yes, Ms. Bowen.

She had me call a car for her

going to Hanum Park.

Jesus Christ.

Swerve City Records.

Swerve City Records.

[loud thud]

Fang.

When he eventually breaks,

get rid of him.

Same goes for Jaxen's woman

when she gets here.

No loose ends.

This makes no sense.

Why would she be going to Swerve

Records at this time of night?

She had no idea what she's

getting herself into.

[car chirps]

Really?

You're a car dealer?

No.

This is kinda nice.

Call Swerve City Records.

Swerve City Records?

Loni.

Don't say my name.

Who's there?

Oh my God.

Song came in with some

rough looking Asian guys

and they went into

Barnes office.

I think they're beating him.

Hey Loni, I'm on my

way right now.

Now just make sure--

[on phone]

Someone's coming.

Hi, Gina Bowen,

here for Ms. Song.

Oh sure, Ms. Bowen,

Go right on in.

[on phone]

Loni, pick up the phone!

[on phone]

Loni, stop Gina.

She can't go in there.

Ms. Bowen, you have a call

from your office?

It's an emergency, something

about an NAACP event.

[on the phone]

Loni, no matter what you do,

get out of there as soon

as you can.

Yes sir, be sure to.

Here she is.

Hello?

[on the phone]

Gina, don't say my name.

I'm a coworker, okay?

Now this is a matter of

life and death.

Get out of there right now.

I'm not sure what you

mean, sir.

[on phone]

Gina?

Those are the people

who shot you.

[Gina laughs]

That's silly.

I mean, that price is silly.

Gina, Gina, Gina.

[on the phone]

Think about it.

Song called you at the

hospital, right?

How did she know you

were there?

Mm-hmm.

[suspenseful music]

Uh, yeah, yeah.

That's fine.

Mm?

Yeah, close the deal.

Okay, thank you.

-Thank you.

-Mm-hmm.

Where's the ladies' room?

It's just around the corner,

first door on the left.

Okay.

Come on in when you

finish, Gina.

Will do.

[suspenseful music]

How many extra clips you got?

I thought you didn't like g*ns?

I don't like condoms either,

but I ain't stupid.

Remember when Superfly

didn't just break out?

He had a plan.

We have to have a plan, Money.

f*ck you, Myron.

Wow, that's what we doing?

I see how it is now.

Uh-huh, when it's your woman,

it's a different story, right?

[grunting]

[coughing]

[grunting]

Yin.

Grab that b*tch out of

the restroom.

Don't forget the secretary.

She's gone.

[engine revving]

[loud bang]

You take the stairs,

I'll take the elevator.

How'd that work out for

you the last time?

Funny guy.

The only difference is,

I brought

Tommy with me this time.

Who the hell is Tommy?

Oh sh*t.

[g*nshots]

What the f*ck are you doing?

[g*nshots]

[g*nshots in background]

[g*nshots]

[g*nshots in background]

[g*nshots]

[dramatic music]

[men speaking Mandarin]

[g*nshots]

Somebody tell me what the f*ck

is going on out there?

[dramatic music]

[elevator dings]

[g*nshots]

[dramatic music]

[laughing]

Oh boy.

Hmm.

Earlier you said,

the martial art was wasted

on my kind.

Little history lesson

for you fellas.

The first complete martial arts

was discovered in Africa,

2500 BC.

In 527 A.D. Bodhi Dharma,

aka Da Mo, aka the Black Monk,

introduced the 18 hands of the

Lo Han to the Shaolin Temple.

Thus introducing martial

arts to China.

Now I know you've seen

the depictions

of Da Mo all over China.

Let me ask you something.

Does he look like you?

Or does he look like me?

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[thud]

[grunting, absorbing impacts]

[grunting, absorbing impacts]

[grunting]

[kick connecting]

[impacts connecting, grunts]

[dramatic music]

[kick connecting]

[thud]

Impressive.

Where's Gina?

You expect me to just hand

her over to you?

[chuckles]

What kind of fool

do you take me for?

I don't want you.

My beef was with Holland and

Heckle and Jekyll over there.

And I'm supposed to trust that

you won't come after me.

b*tch, you could go.

You tell me where Gina is

and I will drop you off

at international departures.

Yeah, not that simple.

It is that simple.

Look, Jahari is alive, right?

The police will just label

everything g*ng related.

You can go back to your

crazy rich Asian sh*t

and I can go back to

my damn life.

I guess I'm just not the

trusting type.

It's a pity.

I do find you quite intriguing

and sexy

under other circumstances,

well.

It is a shame it has to

end this way.

You know I was thinking

the same thing.

[crying]

[screaming]

[crying]

[dramatic music]

[impact]

[swords clashing]

[swords clashing

continues]

[dramatic music]

[screaming]

[crying]

What a waste.

[powerful spray of water]

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

[heavy thud]

[crying]

Gotcha Loni, got you.

Were you trying to flirt

with that b*tch?

What b*tch?

That b*tch.

She said, "I find you

intriguing, even sexy."

And you said you were thinking

the same thing.

So were you trying to

get with her?

I think you sure took take care

of that part.

No, I was talking about the

trying to k*ll each other part.

Let's go.

Come on.

Gina's gonna help you

get your stuff

and then you're gonna leave,

okay?

Everything's gonna

be all right.

You take her.

I'll be right back.

Your bag.

Okay.

Money, is Holland dead?

Depends on what you

mean by dead.

As in,

if he's dead,

he can't very well sign

Jahari's release.

Okay, funny you should say that

because this was his official

final act

as head of Swerve City Records.

That and signing the company

over to me.

I always wanted my own

record label.

f*ck around, get OutKast

back together.

Oh sh*t, we gotta go.

Why?

Trust me, just take my

words for it.

We gotta go.

Loni.

-Hey.

-Hey.

You good?

I'm good.

Well alright.

Jax, come here.

[expl*si*n]

Holland's in

the securities office.

Cover our tracks.

I was thinking about

remodeling anyway.

You know, give Loni

her own office.

She more than earned it.

That's what's up.

Yeah.

Oh...

You want me to drive?

Get them home.

Cause you and Gina

making babies tonight.

You laughing, but girl talk.

[sighs]

That's you right there,

big Homie.

Yeah, you might be right.

Let's go.

Nah.

Mm-mm.

Feel like walking the night,

interacting with nature,

you dig?

Keep the whip.

Small price for getting me

my lady back.

Plus,

I don't think Holland's

gonna make good

on the rest of your payment.

[laughing]

It's all good.

I think I got something better.

Yeah.

Oh.

If you ever get into any other

fly sh*t like this,

call the nig--

Call a brother.

[upbeat music]

You know you can't do sh*t

without Money.

Come on, man.

Make the world go round.

Let's go.

[laughing]

You ready to take this ride?

Absolutely.

Mm.

Let's go.

[upbeat music]

This is a man's world
