05x08 - Unconditional Love

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Raising Kanan...

It's my understanding
that Lump Maxwell

has been backing
your current operation.

Been with Lumps
since he was runnin' numbers

in Saint Albany's.

-What's all of this?
-That sh*t ain't ours.

'Cause them white boys,
they dimed you to f*ck out.

Your services are
no longer required.

I ain't the kind of n*gga
you could just replace.

This whole thing with you,
has f*cked with my head.

I ain't got time to listen
to all this noise right now.

f*ck you Kanan.

f*ck you too, b*tch.

Your best and only chance
at winning this thing,

is your daughter.

Bet the f*cking house on her.

You k*lled famous.

Without you and the Columbian,
Raq's business is done.

And if her business is dead,

she's of no use
to Pino Bernardi.

There's nothin' left to say.

She's leavin'.

We have surveillance
of you meeting with both

Stefano Marchetti and Pino
Bernardi on multiple occasions.

We're in a bad place here.

So your son broke into
my apartment last night.

He told me he swapped out those
drugs that k*lled the judge.

And he also told me
that you knew.

We're done.

Your brother is the only reason
you're not dead already.

If somethin' happens to me,

just make sure that case
get to my daughter.

This gon' stay with you
for a while, boy.

You gon' see me
in your nightmares.

Even when you
ain't got sh*t left,

tell yourself it ain't over.

That you can take what got took.

That you can get back
what got lost.

You might even be able
to grab some corner or block,

maybe even pullin' some soldiers
to f*ck with you for a minute.

But the sh*t that matters most,

your heart,

your soul,

they gone n*gga.

And they gone for good.

I'm not asking you for anything,

'cause I don't need
anything from you.

I just wanted you to know.

And I want you to know
that I'm keeping it.

How you know it's mine?

-This boy.
-I'm just sayin'.

The sh*t's not crazy to ask.

Meanwhile, you' been makin'
your money.

I know for sure I ain't the
only n*gga you been with.

I use protection with
all my dates, Kanan.

It's not like
I'm trying to get you back

to some pathetic sh*t like that.

And I don't even know
if this means anything to you,

but you're gonna be a father.

And I thought you should know,
that's all.

It means something to me,
Jarita.

If you want to be involved, cool.

If not, that's cool too.

I gotta go.

I guess I'll either hear
from you or I won't.

Whatever.

You think that sh*t's true
about Richard Gere?

Who the f*ck is Richard Gere?

He was in that
Pretty Woman bullshit.

Don't you remember
how everybody was saying

he had to go to the hospital,

'cause he had a gerbil
up his a*s?

Right, right. That guy.

Yeah.

That sh*t's true, no doubt.

Gotta be I mean,
everyone's heard about it.

It's my favorite white boys.

Breeze.

What the f*ck?

Man, I thought you people
live better than this.

Y'all living like
n*gg*s out here.

How'd you even find our address?

Police you talkin' to, told me.

Yo, we wasn't talkin'
to the police.

Appreciate you
agreeing to sit with me.

Well,
I heard about your brother.

Least I can do.

My, uh, condolences, by the way.

Thank you.

Look, I know you think
I'm out of business,

but I've been in worse spots
than this Mr. Bernardi,

and I always found my way back.

You been in worse spots,

than your son
k*lling your brother?

I'd hate to be at your house
for Thanksgiving.

Don't tell me.

You didn't know?

Where you hear
that about my son?

It's current scuttlebutt.

I assumed you knew.

I'm not here to talk to
you about all that.

Well, if I were you, that's
all I'd be talking about.

I need you to look out
for me, Mr. Bernardi.

Get my back with Stefano
for a little bit

until I'm back up and running,
that's all.

He wants you dead.

Don't know what
the hell it is with him.

Maybe it's cause he
wanted to mess with me,

and I didn't want to mess
with him in the same way.

Stefano wanted to f*ck you,
and you didn't want to f*ck him.

Without you,
I'm vulnerable out here.

You know,
Stefano and I grew up together,

Yeah, right off fourth Avenue.

I was 187. He was 188.

He was an athlete.

Baseball, football, basketball-
anything with a f*ck' ball.

One of those guys looked like
he always had a f*ck' tan.

c*cksucker...

Got all the girls.

Me?

I was a f*cking asthmatic.

Couldn't even leave the house
till I was seventeen.

And even then,
I was so f*ck' pale.

My skin was translucent.

I- I-you could see right
through the f*ck' veins.

Girls wouldn't even
spit in my direction.

And then-

Lo and behold,
along comes Doris DeFazio.

She lived next door.

I don't know
if she was taking pity on me

or she was just lonely,

like I was.

We started going matinees
together every Saturday.

It was Captains Courageous
at the Savoy.

We were sitting up in the
balcony and out of nowhere,

Doris leans over and kisses me.

Greatest moment
of my f*ck' life.

I been married twice.
I had three kids.

But that day with Doris,
I had a-what do you call it?

An-an out-of-body experience.

First and best kiss I ever got.

Been chasing it ever since.

One week later,

Doris was goin' steady
with Stefano Marchetti.

He had to have all the girls.

I always wanted to do to
him what he did to me.

Don't know what this got to do
with our business relationship,

Mr. Bernardi.

We don't have
a business relationship.

So there's no compelling
business reason

for me to offer
you my protection.

But...

If we had a different kind
of relationship,

well, that might change
the way I see you.

The way I see us.

Are you trying to get the
girl that Stefano couldn't get?

You never get over
your first heartbreak.

I'm not tryin' to fix
your hurt f*ck' feelings

from way back when.

I'm tryin' to make you
some money.

Your money makin' days are over.

The last n*gga who tried
to press up on me like this

is buried in the Catskills.

I prefer the Hamptons.

Enjoy what time you got left.

'Cause it ain't much.

She's a real piece of a*s.

And that attitude.

I get why Stefano had
such a hard on for her.

Your father loved you a lot.

He said in that letter

that you're one of
the only people I can trust.

I'm surprised by that.

I'm flattered,
but I'm surprised.

He didn't have many people
in his life that he counted one.

Me neither.

Maybe that's why he and I
got along so well.

And honestly, it seemed
like I talked at him a lot,

but, it did feel like we saw
the world in the same way.

You know who k*lled him?

Oh.

Jesus Christ, Laverne.

I need to know.

Take it from me,

sometimes not knowing,
is better than knowing.

Let me make that call
for myself.

What makes you think I know?

Figure he got put down
'cause of the business.

And I know you all
was workin' together.

Oh, f*ck.

My father would want me to know.

I'm not so sure about that.

Did you know that your cousin
paid me an unexpected visit?

Kanan?

The f*ck you want with you?

He said he was there to talk.

But I've never been part
of a productive or polite

conversation that started with
someone pointing a g*n at me.

He showed up with a gat?

Hold up. Are-are you saying
Kanan put down my father?

I don't have any
firsthand knowledge.

Kanan.

That's what I heard.

But again,
I don't know if it's true.

It's true. I know it's true.

Families are complicated.

Not my family.

We simple.

We always been simple.

♪ Make the people say,
ooh, aah ♪

♪ Think I won't curse ♪

Put the sh*t on my desk.

About to do this count.

By the way,

my white boys been retired.

They collectin' they pensions
or insurance

or whatever the f*ck you get
when you gone.

What about Bonnie and Clyde?

Nobody talkin' about
who took them out.

sh*t's a f*ck' mystery.

It's a hell of a move to make.

Didn't see that sh*t
comin' at all.

Day seem like any other day.

Till it's not.

That how it happened
for your uncle?

You don't think
he saw that sh*t comin'?

I don't know what that n*gga saw
or didn't see.

I ain't tryin' to think
about all that.

Just 'cause Snaps and Pops gone,

don't mean your moms
is off the hook.

sh*t came from on high,

Stefano and them.

I'ma still have to
put in that work.

Do what the f*ck you gotta do, n*gga.

Last time we sat together,

you mentioned there might be
a proffer available

to my client should she agree
to assist you

in your investigation

into various individuals
connected to organized crime.

We're curious to hear
what that might look like.

Standard "Queen for a Day"
agreement.

If Miss Thomas provides us
with information

leading to the successful
convictions

of various organized crime
targets,

we'd be willing to offer her

a plea deal and leniency
in the case against her.

I want full immunity
and witness protection.

Anything less than that, and
there ain't sh*t to talk about.

As Mr. Gordon here knows,

we don't get into
the specifics of the agreement

until we can evaluate

the veracity and quality
of the information.

I'm not talkin' without knowin'

what's at the other end
of the deal.

Having entered into
countless similar agreements

with individuals
like yourself before,

I can tell you
that what you're requesting

is probably within reason.

But like Special Agent Hickson
said,

we can't agree to anything

until we hear what
you have to say.

I don't want immunity and
witness protection just for me.

I want it for my son, too.

Tough break about your father.

I'm sure it's sad for you
and your family.

I said I'd leave you alone as
long as you stayed off my radar.

But I have to ask...

I don't know who shot my father.

That's hard for me to believe.

I don't give a f*ck
what you believe.

What about
Ishmael and Stephanie Henry?

I don't know who that is.

Snaps and Pop.

They got put down?

They did.

And as you know all too well,

they also were involved in
what happened to your friend.

Guess they got
what they had comin' then.

Don't do anything you're
gonna regret, Laverne.

Too late.

We didn't realize
that your son was involved in

activities that might
require immunity.

I need to know we're protected.

I got enough
on Stefano Marchetti

and Pino Bernardi for you,

to burn that whole Italian sh*t
down to the f*ck' ground.

But you gotta make
it worth my while.

I ain't trying to have me
and my son

get cooked up
in one of Stefano's ovens.

Is that what Mr. Marchetti does?

Burns up bodies
at his smelting factories.

I said what I said.

We'll run this up the flagpole
to the A.U.S.A.

It's real easy.

You get me what I want,

I'll get you what you want.

That's all.

My gut tells me they're
going to agree to your terms,

but you're going to
have to deliver.

Their expectations
are exceedingly high.

I don't make promises
I can't keep.

But you better make sure
these Feds come correct.

'Cause once I start talkin',
everything I ever been

and everything I ever thought
I was gonna be's gone.

Snaps and Pop
didn't need each other.

But they wanted each other.

There's a big difference
between needin' and wantin'.

If you need someone,

that means they're givin' you
somethin'

that you can't get nowhere else.

Providing you
some sort of sustenance

that you can't do without.

But that's not love.

I don't want my woman to need me

like some medicine
she gotta take.

I want her to want me.

-Yeah.
-I want her to choose me.

Snaps and Pop,

they wanted each other.

And the one thing
we know about them:

They always got
what they wanted.

To Snaps and Pop.

To Snaps and Pop.

That's right.

Well said Lump.

I'm not great with words,
but I make do.

Yeah, well, in my experience,

it's fellas like you,
always selling themselves short,

that are playing the longest
game of all.

-Touché.
-Yeah.

Hey, you were, uh,

working with a young associate
of mine for a little while.

Yeah, who's that?

Early Tyler.

Mm. Yeah.

I knew him since
before he could walk.

Yeah, Early.
Kid had a lot of promise

Tragic ending to that story.

If it makes you feel any better,

I'm pretty certain the guy
who took out Early

just got taken out himself.

It don't.

Make me feel better, that is.

I wonder if I'm the only one
who knows

how vicious you really are,
Stefano.

How underneath all that
fake inner grace,

there's a f*ck' demon who
thinks he's gonna live forever.

I don't want to live forever,
Lump.

I just wanna die last.

Take care of yourself, pal.

-She's all yours, Stefano.
-Pino.

I-I missed that.
What'd you say?

Raq.

All yours.

Do what you need to do.
I got no further use for her.

Yeah, when I heard
she lost Flossie,

-I knew you'd cut bait.
-Oh.

She didn't just f*ck up
everything with Flossie.

Turns out
she also passed bad drugs

to that dead judge
who was on my payroll.

And word is, this Colombian
I was working with

bought the farm because of her.

She's done to my business

what pantyhose did
to finger f*ck'.

The wheels are already
in motion on her.

Oh, yeah?

That's good.

Uh.

You, uh, take care of that.

I, uh,

I like my waiter
to clear the table

as soon as I'm done eating.

Cryin' shame, though.

p*ssy that good,

gonna come to a bad end.

But as the French say,
c'est la vie.

Get the f*ck out of here,
huh, Pino?

She wouldn't give you
the time of f*ck' day.

You got me, my friend.

I gave it the old college try,

but somehow she was able

to resist my impish charms
and boyish good looks.

Hmm.

Look, put her out of our misery.

You have my permission.

Prego.

I don't believe that sh*t.

And even if it's true,

why the f*ck are you
here tellin' me about it?

Your mother demanded
that any immunity

and witness protection deal that
we afforded her, extend to you.

f*ck outta here.

She inspired me
to do some digging on you.

I couldn't really find anything.
Just ticky-tack bullshit.

And then, all of a sudden,
your name popped up

in a pill ring investigation
out in Hempstead.

I ain't got sh*t to do
with Long Island.

Of course you don't.

And I'm sure you also don't have
anything to do with the m*rder

of the two suspects
who are cooperating with police

in that investigation.

-Glen and Shane Bellotti?
-Don't know 'em.

They were shot to death
in their backyard yesterday.

I don't f*ck with white boys.

Who said they were white?

Ain't no n*gg*s I know
called Bellotti.

Look, if my mom's
is f*ck' with y'all,

that's on her, not me.

I ain't do nothin',

and I ain't got sh*t to say.

So you need to get
the f*ck out my crib.

She's trying to protect you,
Kanan.

And I assume that's because
she knows something about you

that I don't know yet.

But I'm gonna find out,

and then we'll have a very
different conversation.

Your mother loves you.

That's why she's doing this.

And if you care about her,

you'll encourage her
to take this deal.

Whether you're a part
of it or not.

She's got a target on her back,
Kanan.

If she doesn't take this deal,
she'll be dead in a week.

Flossie.

I know you not tryin'
to talk to me right now.

Not now or later.

No good reason
for you to help me,

but I know you got connects
to Stefano Marchetti,

and I'm wonderin'
if you can pass word

I'm tryin' to sit down with him.

You lied to me.

Your brother is dead
because of you.

You don't deserve my help
or my time.

White b*tches always like Marvin

'cause he a punchline to them.

Some goofy-a*s n*gga
they think they can laugh at.

Then they bump up against me,
and they ain't laughin' no more.

'Cause I ain't out here
to make white b*tches laugh

I'm out here to make this money,

and ain't sh*t funny about that.

You're not funny.

You're f*cking tragic.

And I've already had
enough tragedy in my life.

Good luck.

-sh*t heavy.
-Block workin'.

What you know about that sh*t
with my moms?

Doin' the math.

Gettin' ready
to solve the problem.

What if we didn't do that, though?

I'm just sayin',
what if we put her out on some

go away and never come back
type sh*t?

Let her run.

Let her walk.

And tell her don't never step
into New York again.

Thought you was okay
with what's gotta be done?

If the sh*t has to happen,
it has to happen.

Maybe it's another way to do it.

It ain't my call, brother.

Like I said, word came down
from that parmesan-a*s n*gga.

It don't feel like he gonna
be convinced otherwise.

Stefano got no love
for your moms.

Not at all.

He want her gone.

They've agreed to
everything you've asked for,

and now they want an answer.

So my son part of the deal.

Apparently,

Adrian Tanner paid Kanan a visit
and made the offer,

but it didn't go well.

Your son wasn't receptive.

In fact, he kicked agent Tanner
out of his apartment.

That's 'cause Kanan
wasn't raised to be no snitch.

How the f*ck am I gonna
bring up my kid one way,

and then do the opposite
of that?

You and your son are
in very different situations.

You either a snitch or you not.

This deal is a lifeline for you.

Your only one.

Kanan right.

f*ck the Feds.

Tell the F.B.I. kiss my a*s.

I ain't going out like that.

Yo Kanan.

Young boys wanna get down.

We got to work for 'em?

What they call y'all?

-Jamie.
-Tommy.

You live in Southside?

♪ I'm the best in the biz ♪

Nah.

You n*gg*s is too young.

Come back when y'all ain't
f*ck' with Happy Meals

no more.

♪ I'm the best in the biz ♪

The mortician did
a really nice job.

I'll give you some time alone.

I asked you many times

whether you'd have
mixed emotions

if there was ever
an issue with your mother.

I know.

And you said you wouldn't.

That's what I said.

So what's changed?

Started to think

that maybe I don't want
this sh*t on my head.

I got a lot on it already,

and I don't know
that I need any more right now.

You mean Marvin.

Him and everyone else, man.

I'm not scared
of puttin' n*gg*s down.

I'm not.

Not at all.

Almost took out my moms myself
a while back.

The sh*t got ill,

went another direction.

Point is, I was ready to do
that work myself back then.

Yeah, but now you, uh,
you have reservations.

Your mother insulted me, Kanan.

And while it may
not seem like it to you,

her insult has business
implications for me.

I can't afford to let
insults go unanswered.

She just partnered up
with another n*gga.

The sh*t happens all the time.

No, no, not to me it doesn't.

Look, somethin' in me-

somethin' I didn't even know
was there no more-

is tellin' me
that I don't want this.

And maybe it's cause of
what happened to my uncle,

but maybe not.

Maybe it's just that it
don't sit right with me.

I'm just startin' to feel like
for all the sh*t my mom's done,

this ain't how it should go.

I give everything I got

for five more minutes
with my mother, kid.

And not a day goes by

when I-I don't feel
that hole in my heart

that she left behind
when she passed.

Now listen,

I'd consider letting her live,

but she'd have to do somethin'
for me first.

Don't trust me enough
to meet at the crib.

Hell, no.

I need witnesses.

Can't blame you for that.

I'm sorry about Uncle Marvin.

For what you did,
or him bein' gone?

Both.

Heard you told them Feds you
don't want no part of that deal.

That ain't me.

Me neither.

Got shook for a minute
and lost my head,

but then I remembered who I am.

I'ma fall for this flag
before I f*ck with these feds.

Anyone who want it
can come get it.

And that includes you too.

I don't want that, though.

That's why I reached out.

I spoke to Stefano.

He said he'd let you go.

But you gotta do something
for him.

What the f*ck he want me to do?

I don't know.

But whatever it is,
it's gotta be better

-than you bein'...
-Dead.

Stefano want me dead.

sh*t.

Up until right now,
I thought you did, too.

Remember when I used
to put you to bed at night

with that warm milk?

How you'd say you
never wanted me to die.

How you always wanted
me to be there for you.

Psh.

Now look at this sh*t.

Still don't want you to die.

That's the nicest sh*t
you said to me in years.

Talk to Stefano.

Hear him out.

I blame myself
for what's happened, Kanan.

For what you did.

For what I did.

For what I didn't do.

And that don't mean
I forgive you for everything.

I don't.

I can't.

You took my brothers from me.

But also know that sh*t
don't happen without me.

Because I raised you.

I made you.

You're mine.

All mine.

The good and the bad.

And I put you in this sh*t,
so it's all on me.

It's always gonna be on me.

And I know it
don't feel like it for you-

And I get why it don't-

But I loved you
in a way that I could.

Didn't always come out right.

And it wasn't always enough.

But it's what I could give you,

and how I could give it.

You care about me
like you sayin' you do,

you wanna talk to Stefano.

You love me, Kanan?

You-you my mother.

That don't mean nothin'.

No matter how f*cked up
you been,

some part of me still keep
believin' you gonna be better.

You gonna be who I want.
Who I need.

I've been waitin' for you
to be that to me,

but you keep lettin' me down.

It's f*cked up when the person
that tried to take your pride

is the same one you
want to make proud.

See, you don't never stop
wantin' your mother

to care about you,

even when they ain't done
sh*t to show that they can.

But it's too late for all that.

Look what I done.
Look what you done.

We can't fix
all that wrong sh*t.

But maybe we could do
this one thing right.

Ain't gotta end
like this for you.

I'm sorry.

Talk to Stefano.

Ah, I felt more comfortable,
when Snaps and Pop were around.

Felt like there was
an adult in the room.

I'm hesitant to turn over
the whole business to you

and the rest of them
f*cking teenyboppers over there.

You ain't gonna have no
problems with me or my people.

We a well oiled machine
in Southside.

Well just make sure your
well oiled machine

ain't a g*dd*mn wood chipper
grinding on my f*cking ba*ls.

Now look who's here.

Ah!

Hey, give us a minute.
But, uh, don't venture too far.

How are you, ma'am?

f*ck you, n*gga.

A kind word for
everyone from you, huh?

Come on sit, sit.

You do this for me,

and then you go,
within twenty four hours.

You stay a minute longer,

and the deal is off
and you're as good as dead.

Why would I do this work for you

if I can't ever go back
to my life here in New York?

Because if you don't do it,

you won't even make it back
to your car tonight.

Do this for me,

and then you leave
New York the next day

and you don't ever come back.

Don't matter to me where you go,

just as long
as it's far from here.

Don't seem like I got much
of a choice.

Well, look at it this way,

if you were ugly,
you already be dead.

Juke! It's me!

What's the word?

Counts good.

Drove by 150.

Them n*gg*s is runnin' through
they work fast.

Just sent over to re-up.

Heard your moms might
get this pass after all.

Respect, n*gga,
you lookin' out for the fam.

I get it,
I'd do the same for mines.

And make sure the tails
are off the shrimp.

I'm paying you $10 a piece,

and you want me to do
all the f*ck' work.

He got an offer
from Florida State...

Florida, well... they got
mosquitoes down there.

Well looks like I'm
gonna get the girl after all.

I guess so.

What are you talking about?

Coach, she's my fiancée.

I was surprised
to hear from you.

But, I guess I'm hard to resist.

Not like you think.

f*ck' Stefano.

Juke.

What's going on?

I'm sorry Aunt Raq.

For what?

I don't understand.

And if I tried to make you
understand, you still wouldn't.

But it's somethin' I gotta do.

This about Marvin?

That wasn't me.

I didn't do it.

I know.

Talk to me, juke.

Why you doin' this?

Kanan.

What Kanan gotta do with me?

Bullshit.

You gonna know
it's real soon enough.

Why wouldn't you
just come after me?

That was the plan.

And then I saw
you and her together,

and I realized droppin' you
wasn't gonna hurt enough.

You wouldn't feel the pain

for as long
as I want you to feel it.

I want you to have nothin'
n*gga.

Just like me.

I want you to go through
your life alone,

with nobody to give a f*ck
whether you live or die.

You gonna be alive.

But everyone around
you who cared...

Gone.

And that sh*t way worse
than bein' dead.

You just as alone as me Juke.

World just as cold for you.

Knowin' I did this to you,

gon' keep me warm
for a long while.

And that's enough for me.

I could just k*ll you myself.

Have at it, n*gga.

I don't give a f*ck.

She never loved you anyway.

Right at the end,

she begged me to do you
instead of her.

All this sh*t
don't explain everything,

'cause nothin' explains
everything.

You n*gg*s want to know
why this sh*t happen

and why this sh*t didn't.

This was never gon' be all that,
couldn't be.

'Cause my story didn't end here.

sh*t, in a lot of ways this was
just the beginning of me.

What I turned into,
who I ended up bein'.

See, this isn't just my story,
this is our story.

And now it's your story.

But like I said all along,
more than anything,

this is a Southside
Jamaica Queens story.
