Four Birds (2026)

[bunniefuu]

(Movie Projector)

(people chattering)

(buzzer buzzing)

(chains clanging)

(mellow music)

Look at you, there she go!

(Shelly screams)

You look good, girl.

What's up?

(Flame speaks indistinctly)

You too.

-Damn sexy girl, come on.

-Let's get up outta here.

Come on. Let's go.

(Flame speaks indistinctly)

(tractor engine rumbling)

(mellow music)

(car doors thud)

(upbeat music)

g*dd*mn. You did not tell

me you was pushing like this.

(Shelly laughs)

Man.

(calm music)

I can think real good in this.

I'm proud of you, girl.

You like it?

I love it. Damn.

You still got my g*n?

I sure do.

I took real good care of her for you.

Never left home without it.

(mellow music)

Yeah, that's right. I'm back. (chuckles)

So look, baby,

I'm gonna give these

m*therf*cking streets hell.

A n*gga been gone way too long.

It's time for all these n*gg*s to pay.

You're damn right.

So, what's the plan?

The plan is simple,

pick up where I left off.

I want you to get some work

and put it out there in the streets.

You still got my money stashed?

Of course, I do.

You know only a real b*tch

can flip 40Gs into a 100K.

You see that's why I love your a*s

'cause you always do what I tell you.

(Shelly speaks indistinctly)

All you gotta do now

is tell all them n*gg*s you was talking to

to stop calling you.

Daddy home now, baby.

Whatever, crazy man.

I wasn't talking to no n*gg*s.

What are you talking about?

Tell that sh*t to another n*gga.

I was gone 15 years, baby. I ain't stupid.

(Shelly sighs)

Anyway, a n*gga starving.

Hook us up with some food.

Oh, I got something

for you to eat, smokey.

Oh, is that right?

I hear you talking. I hear you.

I don't wanna hear no

excuses later either.

No tapping out.

(indistinct) I'm ready. (laughs)

Lemme go ahead and fix myself a drink.

You do that. Mm-hmm.

Mm-mm.

We are back, honey.

I'm glad you got me up

outta that place, man.

I'm ready to get the hell

up out these clothes too.

You see your outfit

I got in there for you?

What?

Laid out on the bed?

Ain't it fly?

Damn. Look at you.

Baby, you always got my back. (chuckles)

But look, I'm gonna go clean myself up

then I need you to take

me up to the 1st Ward

so I can holler at that n*gga Dino.

Okay, baby.

It's whatever, whenever, wherever.

(people chattering)

(phone buzzing)

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. What

do I owe you the pleasure?

[Jimmy] Me. Are you surprised?

(chuckles) Maybe. But I know you.

You've always got

something up your sleeve,

so what do I owe the phone call?

And don't say my beauty.

[Jimmy] This gift

will bring in new votes

to keep you in office.

What is that may I ask?

[Jimmy] Football.

(scoffs) Football?

Football is gonna help me get new votes

and football is gonna

help keep me in office?

[Jimmy] Yes, football.

Into this beautiful city, no

more just college football

but professional football.

Professional football.

[Jimmy] Yes, and a stadium.

One of my billionaire associates

just gave me the green light.

The league has agreed with it.

New money, jobs, thriving new citizens.

We can change the whole outlook

and infrastructure of this city.

Taking this up to the

governor should not be hard

once you're onboard.

Only thing I ask for is a prime location.

You're serious. Prime locations?

Jimmy, I know you.

[Jimmy] Have you ever

heard the phrase red line?

I know it quite well.

A slew of my voters are

totally against that.

This city bleeds blue.

The perfect location for this

stadium is on Fifth Street,

right where downtown ends

and starts to invade into the 1st Ward,

which is the historical downtown

neighborhood of Oakcrest.

The location will be

where Boulevard Home sits.

We need Boulevard Homes and

Oak Dwellings demolished,

basically revamping the whole 1st Ward.

That's what this is about, 1st Ward.

Jimmy, you're asking some tough questions

and we're gonna get some

major pushback for this.

[Jimmy] I'm sure we will.

But if we can make it happen,

we both can be very wealthy

out off this, Tasha.

You can help bring in a

plethora of new voters

and taxpayers that will

swing in your favor.

Okay. So what's the time frame of this?

You do know that elections

are right around the corner.

[Jimmy] In three to five years,

everything should be completed

so we need to move fast.

We need to build new

houses, stores, night clubs,

and turn Oakcrest into a

lovely shopping district.

Change the name to City View Heights.

It sounds good, but-

[Jimmy] The neighborhood

will be completely different

with a different vision.

I need you to come up with

an answer in two weeks.

-So what about the people?

-What about the people, Jimmy?

They're going to have questions

that I'm gonna have to have answers to.

This will displace thousands of families.

We are creating better

and new improved housing for the people

plus more than half of the

neighborhood is vacant.

What if a new group of

20,000 tax paying citizens

move into Oakcrest neighborhood,

revamping Sun City?

Do you know how much money

that'll bring into the city?

You will be a hero. Look

what I did to Uptown.

Now it's The Nod with

tax paying residents.

Oakcrest is in a better location,

being so much closer to Downtown,

unlike The Nod which is more north.

I have to think about it.

I have to make sure that this

doesn't backfire on me too.

It can cause me to lose the election.

[Jimmy] Think about it,

Tasha and get back to me.

Two weeks.

Yeah, I'll call you

and if I decide to do

this, you owe me big time.

(phone beeping)

(calm music)

Uh-huh.

Okay, that sounds good.

(knuckles tapping)

(calm music)

All right. (indistinct)

(chuckles) Thank you.

(phone thuds)

Woo, I'm a beast.

[Vanessa] What?

You know your little sister

just closing that contract, right?

You closed them?

Yes.

Oh my god. Congrats.

(both speak indistinctly)

Yes.

Okay.

We have to get matching

Louie bags on me.

(Vanessa laughs)

[Vanessa] But you know ain't

nothing like a free Louie.

Can we get the shoes to match?

Right. Now I see how

my husband used to feel.

All these years of hard

work is finally paying off.

I'm so happy for you.

I know you miss him.

I do.

It's been a minute but

six years, (indistinct)

You know what you need to do, right?

What?

You need to start dating.

(laughs) First of all, the

dating pool has pee in it.

Second of all, girl,

all these young n*gg*s

want is lay and play.

I don't got time for that.

Besides when you've had a

standup dude like Martin,

you're just not about to

settle for anything out here.

So you know you're not

getting any younger, right?

And your stuff is about to dry up.

Whatever.

You know I'm picky, unlike you.

Don't do me, okay?

My man is the pick of the litter.

Carlos is a great man.

He's just a little rough around the edges.

Yep, even though that's

why daddy didn't like him.

He still can't stand his a*s to this day.

You know what?

He really liked that Detective Danny guy.

Oh, don't get me started on that.

(Alice laughs)

Oh my God. No.

Whatever.

Okay listen, we need to look

at these Oakcrest projections.

Speaking of which, the girl over there,

she is not working out.

Between her coming late and

then always leaving early

to go and get her kids.

Girl, we might have to just

close the location down.

Close?

No, I think I'll just

give it another month

and start looking for a new manager.

(calm music)

Girl, besides that,

you know it has been

robbed a couple of times.

So, the Oaks is just too ghetto.

Besides, Carlos knows a guy

that's interested in making you an offer.

No, that's not gonna work for me.

We'll just give her another

month, I'll find a new manager.

It'll be fine.

Okay. Don't say I didn't tell you so.

I got you.

Okay.

What you doing tonight?

Netflix and chill by myself. (laughs)

No.

So why don't you come to my house

for my nephew's, Muckmud

coming home party.

We start at 6:00. (indistinct)

Really? You have (indistinct)

Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay.

6:00?

[Vanessa] Yes, 6:00.

-[Alice] It's a date.

-It's a date.

Yes girl, I need to let my hair down,

celebrate, you know?

Yes. Okay, I'll see you at 6:00, babe.

I'll see you at 6:00. Give me a hug.

[Vanessa] Bye, sis.

I need to get out and celebrate myself.

[Vanessa] Yes, congratulations, baby.

Thank you. See you later.

(upbeat music)

(crowd chatters indistinctly)

(footsteps thumping)

Who the hell is (indistinct)

-Family.

-What's up, n*gg*s?

Hey, when did you get out, n*gga?

What's up, man?

(Carlos laughing)

I ain't getting no welcome

party man. What's up?

Hell, if I knew you was getting out

I would have got you something.

So Carlos, she ain't tell me

that Muckmud was getting out today.

And you didn't tell me

Flame was getting out either.

Well, surprise, surprise.

Surprise is right.

Surprise, surprise.

Hey, me and Shelly just

christened my new room

in my new house. (chuckles)

Your new room? Your house?

Maybe I'm confused but

honestly I don't understand

what the hell you talking about.

(scoffs) What the hell

you don't understand, man?

This is my house just as much as yours.

Our father left it to both

of us or did you forget?

So since he is my father,

technically it's my house too.

You know what, come on brother,

we having a celebration here, right?

Man, welcome home.

You're right, you're right.

Welcome home, nephew,

the b*stard child, I

mean the special child.

[Muckmud] Thank you.

[Flame] Oh, man.

Yeah, welcome home, Muckmud.

And damn, Carlos, that's messed up.

You trying to keep a man, my

baby outta his birthright?

You know what, baby?

Anyways,

baby, your uncle has

been so excited all week

about you coming home.

Now, I'm just sad that

you had to go through

what you went through.

You didn't deserve any of that, okay?

All you did was try to save a man's life.

They did you wrong, nephew.

Thank God you home now, right?

Right.

All right.

Hold on.

Damn. Slow down, tiger.

Ain't nobody gonna take your food.

You think I'm worried about

somebody taking my food, n*gga?

No, I'm just joking, brother.

Calm down. Little hostile, ain't you?

Well, n*gga stop joking

all the g*dd*mn time.

You know what? Where are my manners, man.

It's just this food so damn good, man.

You know it's been 15 years

since I've had a home cooked meal.

You right, man. I could have

been little more sensitive.

Sensitive? Sensitive?

What you trying to say hoe a*s n*gga?

Dang unc, we trying to

have a nice family dinner.

Show some respect.

My bad, y'all, I'm just

little institutionalized.

That's all.

You know, words sometimes trigger me.

I'm so used to n*gg*s saying slick sh*t

that got multiple meanings like

let's say if I call

Muckmud a b*tch a*s n*gga

and told him if he ever

talked to me like that again,

I'll stick my foot up his a*s.

Mm.

That right there can be

taken as multiple meanings.

You dig what I'm saying?

Last time I checked we was...

I mean, yeah, your father was my father.

Speaking of family, some

things we need to discuss

like where's my money dad left for me?

And he left his house to both of us.

So since I'm back,

technically, we need to

talk about some things.

This is your first f*cking night back

and you're starting already.

What that mean?

Hell yeah, I'm starting already.

n*gga, I did 15 years for your selfish a*s

and you going to sit up here

and act like I ain't got no rights

over this m*therf*cking house, n*gga.

You ain't do 15 years for me.

You did 15 years 'cause you got locked up.

Oh, n*gg*s always seem to forget.

Oh yeah. You know what?

n*gga, you m*rder*d that man, huh?

And you g*dd*mn got 10 years.

And the only reason you got

that little bit of a time

'cause I paid for a lawyer

for your ungrateful

m*therf*cking a*s, n*gga.

And then you got another body

while you was in f*cking

prison and got five more years.

And I (indistinct) clean

up your f*cking mess.

Clean up your mess?

Damn, Carlos, why

you gotta be like that?

Y'all, brothers-

No, no, no, no. It's cool, Shelly.

Let the little n*gga talk.

Little n*gga, huh?

You know what, Uncle Jose?

Okay, little n*gga.

I'm glad you home. You

look strong, you clean.

(chuckles) Thanks

little n*gga. (indistinct)

I hope you didn't let

n*gg*s take your cornbread

while you was in prison like that.

I know you concerned about me, unc

but trust me, I handled myself in there.

Good, handle yourself out here too.

All right, let's all...

Let's make a toast.

To my mother, my sister,

my brother and my sister-in-law

had a beautiful boy.

If your granddaddy could see you, boy,

he would be so proud of you

and your mother and father,

you would light they eyes all the way up.

I'm telling you. We proud of you.

We're glad you home, all right?

Last but not least,

I wanna make a toast to

you too, knucklehead.

You know I love you boy.

My brother Flame's finally free, hmm?

15 years.

See, now we can get back

to the business, right?

The real business, the family business.

The Bailey business.

[All] The Bailey business.

(glasses clinging)

I'm so glad to be home.

I'm glad that you're home too.

Speaking of being home,

got you a little something, something.

(Carlos speaks indistinctly)

Thanks.

Big flex, hey.

Go get you something to wear.

Maybe you can take Alice with you.

So Muckmud, I hope this

isn't too personal question

but what was prison like?

[Flame] Yo C, where the

hell you find this woman?

What type of question is that?

How the hell you think it was in there?

Excuse me, I wasn't talking to you.

I was talking to your nephew, Muckmud.

Please don't insert yourself

in this conversation again.

I guess she told you.

Oh, no, no, hell to the no.

You didn't tell nobody nothing

because this is my man.

[Speaker] Vanessa.

So let's chill on that.

This is my man. Y'all not

gonna talk to him crazy.

Well, let me just say this.

I had a lot of time to

think and ponder on life.

Reflection, it was everything.

I mean especially with me being innocent,

I was trying to figure out

what lesson was God trying to

teach me with this experience.

That's an interesting perspective.

[Carlos] Definitely.

I should take notes.

See, I told you he was smart

and a well mannered young man.

Yes, you did say that.

Mm-hmm.

So Carlos.

[Carlos] Mm-hmm.

What's this Bailey business?

Oh, you know, some real estate,

dibling down in the

neighborhoods here and there.

Little odd end jobs but

majorly real estate.

Well, speaking of real estate,

(indistinct) you need a job.

Yeah, yeah. As a matter of fact I do.

All right, we gonna get you something.

Oh and Vanessa, did you tell

Alice about my man trying to

buy a piece of property on MLK?

Yes, baby I did.

MLK? You got a property on MLK?

-Yeah.

-[Carlos] She does. Nice one.

A block up on 13th

and Martin Luther King.

But Carlos, I'm not trying

to sell my business.

I just need to find the right manager

and keep that Black business thriving

plus I think the boutique

has real potential.

Potential? (laughs)

Look, that's a waste of

your time, all right?

Plus my dude is willing

to pay pretty penny

for that piece of property.

You need to go and sell that.

Is this dude white?

No, he's not white but

what does that matter?

No, he's not white, he's Italian.

But he got money and

he's willing to spend it,

so what does that even matter?

Yeah, a white man ain't

willing to spend money

in the ghetto for no reason

unless it's worth something.

And besides I don't

think you should sell it.

If you hiring, put me

in a manager position.

Do you have any experience?

Absolutely.

Me and my mom and pop used to

run a very successful store

when I was younger.

It's in my blood.

Oh, I see there you go, Muckmud

stepping on a man's business

and you ain't got no damn

business being no manager

'cause you ain't got no experience.

And Alice, you need to just

sell that property to him.

Man, I'm just trying to

eat like everybody else.

I'm trying to make something of my life.

I gave a lot of time I can't get back.

Can't take this old fake

a*s real estate sh*t no more.

Jose, what you talking about?

Oh, you don't know, huh?

So you not gonna tell

'em we don't sell houses,

we sell dope?

Jose?

Sitting here lying to

them with this fake image.

n*gga, tell the truth. We dope boys.

[Shelly] Mm.

What the f*ck is wrong with you, hmm?

Talking about we sell dope not houses

in front of my m*therf*cking company.

n*gga, get the f*ck outta my house.

Your house?

It's what the f*ck I said.

Rise the f*ck up and get

outta my m*therf*cking house.

[Shelly] You know what?

-It is okay, baby. Come on.

-Yeah, okay.

Mi casa is su casa. (indistinct)

I got sh*t to handle, any damn way.

[Carlos] Yeah, n*gga, rise the f*ck up.

Good, f*ck. We are gone.

(Vanessa speak indistinctly)

Look, whatever you heard

ain't what you heard, right?

Enjoy this (indistinct)

Yes, babe.

Where is Champ?

I didn't know my sister

could burn like that.

Now all I need is something sweet.

[Muckmud] Oh.

I feel like I'm craving some ice cream.

Ice cream sounds really nice.

You mind if tag along?

No, I don't mind. I could

use the company anyway.

I'm supposed to be celebrating a big deal

that I closed on earlier today

but all that excitement

at the dinner table

made me forget all about it for a moment.

Well, congratulations.

And since you say that, let me treat you

and we can celebrate your

accomplishments together.

Okay.

(water gurgling)

Bro, where the f*ck you

at with that bread, man?

Come on, man.

I ain't got time to be sitting

here waiting all g*dd*mn day.

(calm music)

It's getting a little cold out here.

(calm music)

So this spot must be new

because I have never had this.

Yeah, they just opened

up a couple years ago.

(calm music)

So what's your story?

Because I don't remember

seeing you go around

when I was younger.

Well you know, me and

Vanessa have the same father

but different mothers

so we didn't really get to

spend a lot of time together

growing up.

Oh okay.

(calm music)

So why are you single?

Why am I single?

That's a rather personal

question, don't you think?

I'm sorry.

I'm an inquisitive guy

and I don't really mean

to come off too forward.

That's cool. I'm a widow.

Have been for the last six years.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

It's all right.

Me and my husband got

married fresh outta college

and he had an accounting

firm, a DME medical business

and he started his own real

estate company at the age of 32.

He was real successful, you know,

and when he died, he left

all those companies to me.

That's crazy.

If you don't mind me asking, how'd he die?

He was m*rder*d. Police

still haven't found his k*ller.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

It's cool.

You know, he lived a really good life

and he died happy but

justice will prevail.

But enough about me, what about you?

A young handsome man like yourself?

I'm pretty sure you're

the pick of the litter.

Never.

Well, actually I haven't

found that special person yet.

You know, back when I was younger

I was so wrapped up in the school work,

then I got locked up.

So you're not one of those

brothers that come home

and screw everything walking, are you?

No. I'm not really, not

focused on that right now.

No, I'm focused on getting back to life

and everything that's good.

I'm already on (indistinct)

I'm supposed to be on my way to you.

Come pick up that little paper man.

(Alice speaks indistinctly)

No way.

Yes. (laughs)

We ain't gonna keep

going through this sh*t.

[Flame] What's up, fat n*gga?

I'm gonna need that hundred

piece back and them bricks.

Is that use of the cat (indistinct)

It's meow. (laughs)

-Flame?

-(indistinct) n*gga.

Two birds, one stone.

[Chopz] Come on, man.

More like four birds, one g*n.

[Chopz] Hold on, hold on.

Rest in peace, fat a*s n*gga.

(g*n fires)

-Hey, get down. Get down.

-(g*n fires)

(door thuds)

(tires screech)

(car engine rumbling)

[Speaker] Now that was real right there.

(indistinct) That's ours.

I still want many more

(Polo speaks indistinctly)

I'ma feed that sh*t.

Watch me, poop. (laughs)

Gimme that.

Yeah that's my book.

How you cutting hearts too?

'Cause I don't love

these hoes right now.

Yeah 'cause you n*gg*s is bogus.

Damn, sis, that's how

you feel? I'm bogus too?

Yeah, n*gga, you know you ain't sh*t.

The whole hood know that.

(all laugh)

n*gg*s ain't sh*t but hoes and tricks.

(Quanda laughs)

Damn, Meeka, that's how you feel?

Yeah, until you prove otherwise.

I'll still play cards with you though.

Boy, you gotta stop.

You know how I get off

this Sutter Home, baby.

sh*t, what you saying? f*ck this game.

Let's go upstairs right

now to the room, mama.

No, the f*ck y'all aint.

Not while I'm here

and damn sure not while my

nieces and nephews are asleep.

n*gga, I'm grown.

[Polo] Hit me, m*therf*cker.

Poo (laughs)

That one's for you, hot damn.

(Tameka speaks indistinctly)

(indistinct) us again.

(both laugh)

Ma, I got school tomorrow.

Can you keep it down? We

are trying to sleep here.

Well, girl if you don't

get your back in that bed

and stop getting smart.

You are not too old to get whooped.

But ma, we got school tomorrow

and y'all down here really loud.

Hey, what the hell?

Hey, you hear your mama?

Get your little crunchy Black

a*s back up them stairs.

Ain't nobody trying to hear sh*t

from your little spoiled a*s.

[Polo] n*gga, who the f*ck you is

talking to my niece like that?

I just met your goofy a*s tonight.

Don't get your head blown

off this m*therf*cker.

Matter of fact, n*gga...

(g*n clicks)

Hey man, hey.

[Polo] You about to

apologize, b*tch a*s n*gga.

Hey.

[Polo] Titi, get back out here.

-Polo, what the hell?

-[Polo] This h* a*s n*gga

got something to say.

[Tameka] What are you doing?

[Polo] Shut the f*ck up.

[Tameka] You're always tripping.

[Quanda] You are tripping big time.

[Polo] I ain't trying

to hear none of that sh*t.

Titi, get back out here.

Oh, hey, you tripping.

[Polo] What you was saying, n*gga?

What you was saying, n*gga?

Just, I apologize, my wrong.

You forgive me?

Uncle Polo, it's okay. It's okay.

Yeah, you're forgiven.

I'm going to sleep now.

[Polo] All right, go on back to bed.

(footsteps thumping)

(indistinct) pick your shoes up

Don't include that

old John (indistinct)

I ain't messing with any hoes

Who playing?

Even though I got plenty hoes

I still want many more,

'cause I want the vibes

I'm staring at them guys

(phone buzzing)

Yo.

Hold on. Slow down, slow

down, n*gga, slow down.

n*gga, what?

I'm on the way.

Okay, I'm on the way. All right, bet.

sh*t. That was your brother, G.

They just k*lled Chopz.

I'm out.

(shoes clacking)

(door latch clicks)

Damn. They k*lled Chopz?

Be safe, Lo.

Man, they k*lled Chopz. Crazy.

Rest in peace.

Hey, come on.

(chair thuds)

Quit acting like that.

(footsteps thumping)

Let me call my man.

Where them hoes and them pretty girls

I ain't messing with any hoes

Even though I got plenty hoes

I still want many more

I wanna see where the vibes

I'm staring at your thighs

I'm looking in your eyes

to see if you a vibe

We're posted in the section

And you're looking kind of slanty

You wanna have my seed from

all this G that I planted.

You say I'm a star and

you wanna be a planet

I sense the fire

(calm music)

[Muckmud] Hey, auntie.

Good morning, nephew. How did you sleep?

Good. Well, great.

Actually, I had a dream about your sister.

-It was weird.

-My sister?

[Muckmud] Yeah.

Okay, that's really weird.

I'm not sure what that's

about but what kind of dream?

Well, it was not too crazy.

Just it was at the altar.

I was in a really nice tux,

she was in a wedding dress.

The altar? A wedding dress?

Now you know my sister

is 41 years old, right?

She's a whole widow in these streets.

Okay, and I'm 26.

Besides, I wasn't lusting

after her or anything.

It was just a dream, okay?

Probably nothing, just a dream.

I hope it didn't mean anything

because you know she's

like your aunt, right?

No, she's not like my aunt.

[Vanessa] Okay.

But she will be my boss.

-Your boss?

-[Muckmud] Mm-hmm.

What are you talking about?

Well, she's gonna hire

me to work at the store

and we had a really good

conversation last night.

And I'm gonna ask her again

and I know for a fact she's gonna say yes.

Okay. I'm sorry I don't think she will.

But you know what?

If she does, it's nice for Alice

to be able to give you a job.

Yes, I think it would be

because I don't want no

gentrifier taking over our hood.

We can't do that.

Yeah, maybe.

Don't worry, auntie.

It's only justice and

justice will prevail.

There were three murders

there downtown last night.

You know, your uncle called me and told me

that you told him that

Porkchop got k*lled.

He had to call that boy's mother.

You know, what's strange

is you guys just saw him.

(dramatic music)

(g*n fires)

So that's weird.

I don't get it. I don't understand.

Yeah, that's pretty sad.

(heartbeat thumping)

Auntie, (heartbeat thumping)

I think I saw who m*rder*d him.

Who? We need to report this.

Flame.

(suspenseful music)

Are you sure?

Wait, are you 100% sure

that you saw your uncle Jose?

He was masked up and everything

so I'm not really sure

but it looked like uncle Jose.

Okay.

Baby, your uncle Flame is dangerous.

I don't wanna hear that

come out of your mouth

like that again, okay?

I need you to be safe, okay? Promise me.

Yes, of course.

We live and we die by the street code.

But you don't have to worry

about me, auntie, okay?

I'm gonna be fine

[Vanessa] Okay.

But I gotta get a move on, all right?

Love you, auntie.

Hey, wait.

Look, I saw how you looked

at my sister the other day

and now you're talking about

you having dreams about her,

so I need you to be honest with me.

Do you like my sister?

Look, your sister is beautiful.

You don't have to worry

about anything, okay?

It was just a dream, all right.

-Okay.

-[Muckmud] Just a dream.

I'm just saying she's my sister.

You are like my son.

That would be weird, but you can go.

[Muckmud] Okay.

All right, now you go

have a good day. Mm-hmm.

[Muckmud] I love you, auntie.

I love you.

(Muckmud speaks indistinctly)

You play too much, boy.

(object thuds on door)

[Tameka] Bro, bro, get up, get up.

Wake up, wake up.

Okay. Bro what?

[Tameka] Yeah.

Why ain't no food in this refrigerator?

Mama had a man over last night.

He was the one eating up all

the food, drinking, cussing,

playing spades all night

long and some other stuff.

Your mama had a man over here?

Yes.

Tameka, stop having

n*gg*s coming over here

to eat my niece and nephew food up, bro.

Hey, I promise the next

n*gga you have over...

I promise, stop playing with me Tameka.

You must think I'm your

daughter or some n*gga.

No, you're not my daughter

because my daughter would

have this house cleaned.

Yeah, I heard.

I got you, uncle.

Thank you, baby.

Oh look, can you get your

uncle some Uber Eats?

You know I don't really how to work that.

Stop playing through it.

Move aside. (indistinct)

You win mercy, mercy, mercy. Dang.

Working on my nerve.

Tameka, listen.

If uncle don't come through today

I gotta find somebody

to get some work from.

I was going through Chopz,

that sh*t really gonna hurt my pocket.

So that's why I need

you to get it together.

All that partying you were

doing, messing up money

and n*gg*s running in

and out of the house.

You gotta chill, son.

(Tameka speaks indistinctly)

I still can't believe

they k*lled my n*gga, man.

You know I got it together.

You forgot I used to wash your stank butt

when you was younger?

When mama was out getting high.

Don't worry, sh*t will all be good, bro.

If it ain't, I got a couple of n*gg*s

that would love to do a favor

for me, used to deal with,

you know?

So I never forget.

Tameka, I never forget.

I love you for that

Tameka I love you for real.

Ever since Shaq got k*lled (indistinct)

You've been going down

You are right. That was my baby daddy.

Damn that sh*t f*cked me up.

They k*lled that n*gga

In front of our son, bro.

So I'm sorry, a b*tch can't

Look, we say I'm on the block like tambo

[Speaker] Stupid.

You talking about rap, go rap

Damn O, that's love right there, homie.

But sh*t, we can do

Y'all think the Migo's

was trying to touch bricks

when they were trying to rap?

No, n*gga, they weren't

touching bricks or violence.

But y'all come from a

line of street n*gg*s.

Y'all are street not rappers.

Rappers are not street n*gg*s.

You gotta stay focused.

Titi.

I'm about to slide off now, man.

Man, I'm gone too. Hola at you.

Back up on my bullshit.

Of course you back

on your bullshit, n*gga

and we back on our sh*t.

We got that m*therf*cking

Italian connection, n*gga

and it's on.

[Flame] Mm-hmm.

Hey, I know that's not the f*cking g*n

you used to k*ll Chopz with.

You know the f*cking law.

You do what you gotta do

and you get rid of that m*therf*cker.

Hell man, my rule is to put

three on it, then ditch it.

Anyway n*gga, we need

to take over the Oaks,

Magnolia Homes and Boulevard.

We can run that whole East

side and then Sun City.

No, I hear you bro but

what you did the Chopz,

n*gga, that's some crazy sh*t.

He was a loved n*gga in the hood.

We did what we had to do,

but I just don't want that

sh*t coming back to us.

You feel me?

You move smart, I moved dangerous.

I k*ll that little n*gga right now

before he even know what happened, bro.

Yeah, I got you, bro.

But you know his cousin Lil G, man.

Them n*gg*s gonna want revenge soon.

So we gotta chill out,

you know what I'm saying?

Keep it low, move strategic.

How the you get kicked

outta Carlos's house?

n*gga, I didn't get kicked out, I left.

Besides that ain't that n*gga house.

That's my pop's house which

makes it mine too's house.

So why you leave, n*gga?

Because that n*gga

soft as hell. That's why.

And speaking of soft,

my little punk a*s nephew

Muck saw me hit up Chopz.

I was masked up and sh*t

but that n*gga looked right in my eye

ain't even look away, bro.

I hear you, but as long

as you was masked up,

like you said, that's cool.

But your a*s need to be

a little bit more nice

to Muckmud and Carlos

because I mean, come on, bro,

they the reason why we

got this f*cking connect.

You feel me?

Yeah, whatever, bro.

It's still f*ck them

n*gg*s though, bro. sh*t.

(laughs) You the craziest

m*therf*cker in the clique.

You know that sh*t?

(indistinct) All right, bro.

All right, I'm holler at you my n*gga.

But tonight I'm gonna

show up like (indistinct)

(car door thuds)

(calm music)

Hey, I'm here to speak

with Mrs. Alice McDonald.

My name is Jimmy Esposito.

That would be me.

Hey Mrs. Alice.

It's Miss Alice.

How can I help you Mr Esposito?

Well, I know you're a busy lady.

I was over in Oakcrest on MLK

and I saw a piece of property.

I talked to my friend Carlos.

He said I could find you here.

Yes, MLK, that's my boutique

and Carlos is my brother-in-law.

Yes, I understand that's the

only property you own here.

Yes, it is.

Is there a reason for your

interest Mr. Esposito?

Yes, it's not getting you any action,

at least not in a consistent basis.

Your hours of operation

change from week to week.

Your workers change more often

than I change my underwear.

Hope you'll pardon the expression,

but I think you know

where I'm going with this.

It seems like you had your interest

in this little piece of property of mine

for some time now.

[Jimmy] I like to do my research

before I make any decisions.

So what are you planning to offer me

for this unstable business of mine?

(calm suspenseful music)

Well, that's generous.

And that's cash.

Cash?

That's what I'm

willing to pay right now.

Transferred from my bank account

to your bank account today.

Hmm.

So let me get this straight.

You're willing to pay me $200,000

for this unstable piece

of property of mine?

If you would so kindly accept my offer.

(clears throat) I don't know.

I don't know you and this is kind of

coming out of left field.

Look, I know you don't

have a for sale sign

in front of your business today,

so I'm willing to go to a

quarter million, that's $250,000

and you can stay in the property

for two years rent free.

Wow. Now that's really generous.

Do you mind if I think on

it for a bit, Mr. Esposito?

Of course. Yeah, how about this?

I'll give my card to your manager up front

and then you just gimme a call

when you've made your decision, okay?

Sounds good.

All right, perfect.

I'll give you a call. Thank you.

[Jimmy] I'll be

waiting to hear from you.

Talk to you later.

(cheerful music)

Bro, and it had to be them n*gg*s

from the Magnolia Homes, bro

and we gonna catch up with

them b*tch a*s n*gg*s soon.

I know that sh*t gonna hurt them n*gg*s

when we catch up with Dino.

Man, f*ck Dino. Dino next.

But the thing that's f*cked up

is that they k*lled cuz, bro.

But say that we catch up with Dino,

take him out and it ain't even him.

sh*t don't make no sense. I

don't even think it's him.

All right. Who then?

f*cking anybody.

East Side n*gg*s, Oakcrest n*gg*s.

100 racks a lot of money (indistinct)

Get the f*ck outta here, man.

What n*gga in the hood, bro?

A n*gga from Magnolia

Home told me Chopz was hot.

That's how he even heard

about the hundred racks on his head.

But n*gg*s just be f*cking talking, bro.

Everybody hitting the same b*tch.

But to answers your

question, I think it's Wise.

Wise? Man, you tripping.

Hot about what?

n*gg*s just be f*cking talking.

All I know is cuz dropped me off,

say he going to pick up

a b*tch named Shelly.

Ever since then, sh*t just been crazy.

Wow, wow, wow, Shelly?

Yeah, Shelly.

Y'all got all the n*gg*s out today.

You just saying 'cause

you like that n*gga O.

Who wouldn't like him? He is fine.

Ough.

Girl, that's my brother.

You doing too much.

-Okay.

-Thirsty.

And your brother is fine. That's it.

No need to get all up

in your feelings, sis.

Get in my feelings? (laughs)

Girl, this is my hood.

You know what you can do?

You can take your a*s back to

where the f*ck you came from.

Wait a minute. Where you from again?

Staton.

You talking 39-year-old fine Shelly?

Shiesty set a n*gga up Shelly?

Man, she a ward legend when

it come to hood broads.

What the you trying to tell me, bro?

You think this b*tch set

cuz up over some money?

n*gga, you young, 24 and sh*t.

I was outside in '06, '07, '08.

That b*tch was around

setting n*gg*s up back then.

That's Jose b*tch.

Exactly. The dirty a*s south side.

Dirty? I'm clean,

but I don't think I can say

the same thing about you.

Y'all two, chill.

Excuse me.

What's up with this girl mouth.

You need me to smack the sh*t outta her?

Smack who? First of all, you

ain't gotta ask her about me.

You could ask me about me, hoe.

-(laughs) We from the Oaks.

-We cut b*tches over here.

Mm-hmm.

Let's say she did set 'cuz

up for some g*dd*mn money.

What sense do that make if Flame not home?

n*gga, what?

Flame came home yesterday.

Where you been at?

n*gga, what? Flame home?

Man, f*ck all that sh*t.

I just seen that dirty a*s

broad yesterday around here

with the n*gga Flame.

Bro, you seen that b*tch

yesterday with Flame?

n*gga, she was just with cuz yesterday.

Hell yeah, I seen her, n*gga.

That sound like some Flame sh*t.

Come home and get right back

to that grimy street sh*t.

That n*gga ain't changed.

Look, if he was cool with Dino

then you know he doesn't

mind get his hands dirty

for some money, bro.

Bro, I just called that hoe today

and she ain't pick up the phone.

Babe, don't let this body fool you.

Miss Shelly. Y'all, chill.

I don't play with little girls

and I'm not about to play with you.

[Asia] Shelly, please stop.

[Shelly] No, she need to stop.

Where you going?

-Don't be scared now.

-Raise the f*ck up.

Raise the f*ck up.

That's what you need to do.

(Tameka speaks indistinctly)

Huh? I can't hear you.

-Bye.

-Exactly. Bye-bye.

Asia, I'm out. This is too much.

I'm sorry, girl. (indistinct)

Bye-bye because I'm with it today.

This sh*t starting to make sense, bro.

Look, if Flame made

a move then Wise knew.

If Wise knew, best believe O know.

And you said he said he

was going to pick her up

when he dropped you off, right?

I'm telling you, man,

she's a shiesty broad.

She lined that n*gga up

and I'm pretty sure

Flame did that n*gga in.

Your friend telling the truth, bro.

Bro, O and Lo was with me last night.

We spent the block looking

for them n*gg*s, man.

Man, them at the

court balling right now.

I just seen that n*gga Flame.

Flame is at Sun City gym right now?

Let's go check they two (indistinct)

Man, I finna gonna k*ll

that n*gga right now.

Let's go, bro.

(bell rings)

Boo.

Ooh, excuse me. Why am I

getting the stink face?

You know your husband sent

that man Jimmy over there

to the office today to

try to buy my property.

250,000, Nessa.

Girl, 250,000 for this raggedy a*s store

that you only bought for 40 grand?

Girl, you better go ahead and cash out.

First of all, I need

you and your husband

to stay outta my business.

Out of my business, okay?

I'm sorry.

Look, I'm just trying to

look out for you, all right?

Carlos told me about that

guy and he is loaded.

I'm trying to help you cash out.

250,000 is a lot for

this property, Nessa.

Tell me about it.

I wonder why he gonna offer so much.

Girl, who cares?

Look, go ahead and cash

out, take that money

and you can flip that five times.

Besides you don't have

anyone to even run the store.

Look, what are you doing?

Actually, I just hired somebody.

Okay, who?

Muckmud.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

He has no experience in running a store.

Well, he seems pretty

confident that he can run it

and turn the profits up so

I'm gonna give him a chance.

At this point, I don't

got nothing to lose.

Okay.

You know Muckmud might

have ulterior motives.

He thinks (indistinct)

What?

Mm-hmm.

Why would he think that?

I don't know. I'm just saying.

Sis, I'm just looking out for

you and so is Carlos, okay?

We love you and I think you need to settle

but it's your decision, okay?

I gotta think about it, Nessa.

I'm gonna give it three months.

Three months and we'll see.

And then maybe, maybe, just maybe,

I may consider selling.

-Okay.

-Maybe.

-All right.

-Okay.

Well, I'm gonna go out with my husband.

Yeah, you do that.

Tell him to stay outta my damn business.

(both laugh)

I love you.

I love you too. Bye.

(bell rings)

Shelly, what are you doing?

Go on now, Muck, okay?

I told these little girls to

stop running their damn mouth.

Please put the g*n away.

What?

Please.

Oh okay, okay, okay. I'll do it.

Y'all better be glad

that Muckmud came to

save y'all silly asses.

(speaker speaks indistinctly)

You know what?

I see you, you're all free

and sh*t. Welcome home, n*gga.

Thank you, sis.

It's good to be home?

Yeah?

Man, but how have you been? Look at you.

You know, same old sh*t.

You know n*gg*s ain't

sh*t, You know the vibes.

Ain't sh*t changed.

You know I got rapping and writing, huh.

But when you gonna slow down?

How many kids you got now?

Six and never, n*gga,

until I get a meal ticket.

You know what's up.

Ever since your a*s was a

snorty nose (indistinct) boy.

A b*tch was gonna make some sh*t happen.

You know that right? (laughs)

But what you doing

these days? What you on?

Well you know how I operate.

But since you asking, I got a job.

Yeah, I'm gonna be starting

up at that boutique

on 13th at MLK.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

(indistinct) Yo that's-

But I was actually heading

my way up there right now.

-I see you working man.

-I'm proud of you, handsome.

Go do your thing.

All right.

Good seeing you.

(dramatic music)

Yeah.

Tameka, is that Guy?

(suspenseful music)

(g*ns firing)

(speaker speaks indistinctly)

(sirens blaring)

(indistinct) Lay down on the ground now.

Now that seem a little

intense. What's this all about?

It's just a basketball game.

Sounds more serious

than a basketball game.

(sirens wailing)

[Detective Daniels] g*nshots to me.

See, we got a call

and from the looks of things...

Get up, on your feet, it

sounds like a sh**ting.

[Beez Around] Be careful with him.

(slap thuds)

I don't know what's going on.

You know something.

And Beez Around what

you doing back around?

Last time I saw you I

was arresting Muckmud

and sending him up to prison.

(Beez Around laughs)

Whatever, whatever, whatever Beez Around.

Look, I don't have time for this

so I'm gonna cut to the chase

and I'm only gonna tell you this once,

which is like the rest of

the men in your family.

You ain't innocent. You're

a criminal and a hooligan.

Now there's been three

shootings this week. Three.

And you mean to tell me that

you don't know anything?

I mean this is w*r between

the Oaks and the Magnolias

or the Oaks versus the Oaks.

Either way I will find out.

Look, but then just do your job.

All right, that's all I gotta say.

We don't know what the hell

is going on, all right?

We were watching them play basketball

and two men and they

came through sh**ting.

Look, help me out here.

Everyone in this community works for me.

I don't know anything.

You know something.

I guess I couldn't keep

you locked up forever.

I was innocent. Still innocent.

The mayor made her career

off that false case.

I wasn't guilty.

I beg to differ.

You a Bailey. All of y'all are guilty.

Come on, man.

Just help us out and

tell us who was sh**ting.

I don't know anything else.

I'll lock you up, Muckmud

and this time, it's gonna be for life.

Do what you gotta do and

I'm gonna do what I got.

Make sure you get a job by the way.

You know we'd hate to

see you violate parole

and go back to prison for not having one.

I got that covered.

You get a job too.

Whatever, man. Let's go, Little.

(calm music)

Hey, Lo, what the hell was that, Lo?

n*gga, how the f*ck

am I supposed to know?

The better question is

what's up with that n*gga G?

You seen how that n*gga Flame duck

before he started sh**ting?

It's like he knew something.

Yeah, n*gga must've had

some real good intuition

or some sh*t.

Look bro, I talked to

my uncle this morning.

I asked him about that Chopz situation.

sh*t, he ain't act like he was mad

or wanted no smoke with

the n*gga Dino or nothing.

Bro, I know my uncle.

If a n*gga k*lled his partner,

he either gonna get him himself

or put some money in somebody

else pocket to handle it.

Hold on, hold on. What

the the f*ck you saying, O?

Man, that n*gga G ain't

just come outta thin air

hitting at them folks.

And Flame, he move like he knew,

he knew he was guilty of something

that would make Guy snap.

sh*t ain't making no sense.

n*gga, G tried to smoke Flame and Wise?

I'm saying.

So you think Flame smoked Chopz?

Everybody know you know me, bro.

-Asia, you doing too much.

-But no for real, thank you.

They tried to jump me today at the court

because I said you was cute.

Hold on, hold on.

They hating on you because

you said I was fine.

Uh-huh

Yep. Shelly did too much.

She pulled out a g*n and all.

-Shelly pulled a g*n out?

-Hell, I gotta tell her old a*s

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

She ain't scaring nothing away.

And matter of fact they acting

Y'all need to get your people.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Broken and Oaks ain't even go together.

We having real paper.

Asia, you better tell your

friend what's going on.

We having real money for real now.

Yeah, they touching some paper.

Y'all should probably exchange numbers.

(Diamond chuckles)

Think about it.

So you from the Oaks I see huh?

Why these n*gg*s crazy around here?

Y'all got n*gg*s sh**ting

(laughs) sh**ting at

Oh so you the Don dada

(Omari speaks indistinctly)

Oh that's what he is?

They are some real project babies.

Real thing, baby. You know.

So Diamond, you be down at the club?

-I mean yeah, I'm a dancer.

-How you know my business?

Baby, I am the streets.

It's my business to know your business,

especially with somebody as fine as you.

(calm music)

(both laugh)

Bruh be a little Casanova.

Hey, sit your a*s (indistinct)

Right? Well let me get your phone.

I'll put my number in.

I'm gonna be at Asia's tonight.

Maybe you and Polo could come

over and keep us company.

(Omari speaks indistinctly)

Hey Lo, whatever you

got going on tonight.

(indistinct) we gonna see

her. I'm not trying...

We gonna see her.

n*gga, I was going anyway.

Okay, say we on the same page.

We on the same page.

This your new sister now. (indistinct)

I don't know about that (indistinct)

(calm music)

Hey, Muck.

Everything okay? You

wanted me to stop by.

Yeah, sure, come in.

Yes, everything is perfect.

I wanted to thank you personally.

Do you know that you have

taken the storage revenue

from 1500 a month to 10,000 a month?

Not to mention, you went

on that trip with me

(indistinct) and we made 21,000.

I'm just, I'm so grateful.

I mean you bought the

inventory, made the clothes,

you bought all the real estate.

I just sold items.

(indistinct) I appreciate that.

I'm really grateful for you.

I want you to know that.

It's me who can't

express enough gratitude.

I mean even giving me a shot.

So I was thinking about upping the ante

on the store with you

a little bit, you know,

maybe becoming partners.

You serious?

Yes. Look, I never told you this,

but the day after you came home,

Jimmy stopped by the office

and made an offer on the boutique.

Offer written and I was

attempting to take it.

And I thank you but you trusted me.

Yes. But look, then Jimmy came by again.

Now he wants to buy the

boutique for 300,000.

Then he offered to lease me the building

for two years for free.

Something about this, it reads snake.

-Exactly what I thought.

-But don't worry about it.

I'm not gonna sell. I'm gonna

keep the business black owned.

But Carlos keeps persisting

on me selling the business.

Something is just strange.

It's not adding up.

I don't trust him or my uncle

Carlos with this purchase.

Write $300,000 for a property

that we can make more than that in a year

if you give me the store.

There's definitely way more

to this deal, I'm telling you.

Mm-hmm.

You know, ever since the first

day I met you, (indistinct)

Are you seeing anyone?

Believe it or not, I'm a virgin.

(coughs) You said virgin.

[Muckmud] You okay?

I just swallowed on the

wrong pipe. (indistinct)

Yeah, but ain't no shame

on my game over here.

Why? I mean how?

By choice, of course.

I mean I was already planning

on waiting for marriage anyway.

But going to prison for eight years

kind of got in the way

of me finding a wife.

What about you?

Me? Well, I was married

at 24, so I'm no virgin.

But it has been six years and you know,

I've been on dates here and

there, but nothing serious.

But you're waiting for Mrs. Right,

that's coming. (chuckles)

Yeah. I feel like

everybody should do that.

Wow. You should be on like bullhorn

across nation or something. (laughs)

Marry me.

You have a really bad habit of doing that.

[Alice] What?

I'm serious about you marrying me.

When?

[Muckmud] Tonight.

Tonight?

[Muckmud] Why not.

Oh my God. Wait, wait.

Tonight?

Yeah.

Seriously?

Okay, tonight. Tonight. (laughs)

(calm music)

(Alice screams)

Yes, I'll be your wife.

(Muckmud speaks indistinctly)

(Alice chuckles)

(upbeat music)

[Amir] Good morning. I'm Amir Achman.

Reporting from the city First Ward.

The police are still

looking for the person

or persons responsible

for the double homicide

that unfortunately claimed the life

of 17-year-old Jonathan Lee

and 13-year-old Tiana Banks.

Both youth were residents

of the Oaks Dwellings

project in the 1st Ward.

As of yesterday, Terrance Banks,

who also goes by Little T,

was arrested and taken in for

questioning in connection to-

Eat the bread, Muckmud.

-[Muckmud] No, no, no.

-Eat the bread, Muckmud.

No, I can't eat it.

You can, eat the bread, Muckmud.

I can't eat it.

Come on, (indistinct) don't

fight it. Don't fight it.

(Muckmud screaming)

It's okay, it's okay.

-I can't. I can't eat it.

-Babe.

I can't. I can't eat it.

-I can't. No.

-Babe, babe.

Babe, babe.

Breath, just breath.

I'm right here.

(news reader speaking indistinctly)

Shoelace.

Shoelace was coming closer

and said to eat the bread.

There's a book to be read.

Do you understand it?

He said it three times.

Three times. And then he

shoved the book down my throat.

My vision, my vision became clear.

It was like I was

training these four birds

and then I cut them up to pieces

and I put them at the top the mountain.

Then when I called them to me

they came flying back to life.

Baby, are you okay?

I've never had dreams my entire life

and all of a sudden I'm

having these crazy dreams.

But...

Am I crazy?

No.

Hey, you're the same man

that everybody in the

neighborhood respects

and says great things about.

You are the person that people

bring their belongings to

when they need somebody to protect them.

Righteous, trustworthy.

Look, you are my man and I love you.

(scoffs) if you're crazy

then I'm crazy. (chuckles)

Look, I just need some

fresh air okay, baby?

Mm.

(news reader speaking indistinctly)

Love you.

(news reader speaking indistinctly)

(door thuds)

Our father who art in

heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on

earth as it is in heaven.

Give us our daily bread and

forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who

trespass against us.

What do you want from me?

Muck, when the help and

the victory of God comes

and you see people returning

to their original nature

and multitude, praise thy Father,

thank thy Father for he is the true one

who can bring you deliverance

and accept your repentance.

I had a vision of you in my sleep.

You were there.

Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't.

Maybe it was real, Muckmud or

maybe it was fake. (laughs)

We don't know what's real

or what's fake, do we?

I don't know anything.

But what I do know is, hey,

I'm going away, I'm leaving today

I'm gonna start my life all over again

But do you think you pray to the highest,

the highest power of all the

world and you not get answered?

What are you trying to say to me?

Your father made a prayer to

save this community, Muckmud.

And I believe you may be

the answer to that prayer.

I have a nice book.

What's that book you're holding?

A book to read.

You should try it, it's

a really good book.

Eat the bread. Eat the bread.

I don't wanna eat it, Shoelace.

Eat the bread, Muckmud.

No, I don't know how to eat this bread.

You have to eat it.

I don't got no taste for this bread.

Take this bread and feed the people.

Remember, enough food for

one is enough for two.

(somber music)

Are your senses different, Muckmud?

Can you smell the world around you?

Listen to the birds, Muck.

Do you feel the creations around you?

Read the signs of nature, Muckmud.

(calm music)

1975 Muckmud. 1975 Muckmud.

Shoelace.

I never knew your real name.

(chuckles) That's

'cause I don't have one.

Just call me the travel man.

I know you are because...

'Cause I finally know what it means.

The vision is clear, it's

all clear, it's all...

It's all so very clear now.

Titi dying. The neighborhood suffering.

I know what these many dreams mean now.

(door thuds)

Babe, what is it? What did Shoelace say?

(calm music)

Do you trust me?

I trust you.

(calm music)

I know what my purpose is.

I finally know what those

four birds represent.

What? What does it mean?

Business, education,

culture and government.

What does that have to do with Oakcrest?

Bread, it's what I'm

supposed to feed my people.

It's what I'm supposed to

bring back to this community,

but not just Oakcrest,

this is about our people.

Oakcrest will be the blueprint

to save our people in America.

Babe, I never met anybody like you.

And all of this sounds so

strange, but I'm with you.

I'm with you until I die.

Your mission is my mission.

That's all I need to

know. That's my mission.

That's God's mission.

Now Alice,

I'm gonna need you to call all

your college friends, sorrors

business owners from

the city and the state,

because I wanna put together

the first annual Human

Excellence Expo in this city.

Got you. We got this.

We gonna make it happen for sure.

(birds chirping)

(footsteps thumping)

(door latch clicks)

(window whirring)

(door thuds)

Now this is just great.

Between Pork Chop getting

m*rder*d and Flame going home.

The mayor tells the lieutenant

to back us off the 12th

and Oak's drugs all while

this beef is going on

between 10th and Oaks.

And to shift our concerns

to Magnolia Homes

and Boulevard Home and all that beef.

He only talks about East

Oak, East Lake, East Hill

and East Ridge neighborhoods.

They don't put any concern in Oakcrest.

I mean six murders in two weeks.

And you don't think that that's strange

and you don't wanna

investigate this crew at all?

They said what?

Yeah, man. Exactly.

That's what I thought.

He only wants us to investigate East Hill

and East Ridge Crips.

Yeah, that doesn't make

any sense at all. Right?

No, it doesn't. Doesn't

make any sense, man.

That's what I was saying.

Hey, you know, maybe

he's just saying that,

you know, 'cause the feds

are getting involved.

Come clean up the Oaks

and drop a conspiracy on the

whole neighborhood. Right?

You know what, I

didn't think about that.

That makes sense.

They're finally bringing

down the Bailey drug crew.

Carlos, Wise and Flame.

Especially since you know that this beef

is over drugs and turf.

Right. But why are you

so hung up on Carlos?

That guy got outta here a long time ago.

He is not in the game.

Man. Look, this family

has been a thorn in the Oakcrest community

since I was a little kid.

They're finally bringing them down.

They're all rotten apples

all the way up to their nephew, Muckmud.

Sure.

[Detective Daniels] I'm telling you.

Just saying it sounds

like you're obsessed

with Vanessa and Carlos if you ask me.

Obsessed? What do you mean?

I'm not obsessed.

It's just the fact I

don't see what she sees

in these type of people.

I don't understand it.

I'm just saying it sounds like it.

So do me a favor just this

once and then back off

and let the lieutenant

work his magic, okay?

Look man, I'm not obsessed with Vanessa.

All I'm concerned with

is catching the bad guys.

I know. Look I get it, I do.

I got a d*ck too,

but you're just coming

off a little desperate.

You gotta let it go, man. Really.

Let it go.

What? Man, whatever man.

Hey, come on. Let's go

catch some criminals.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

(car engine cranking)

(car window whirring)

(suspenseful music)

(g*n clicks)

You going now try to take this car.

n*gga, you know I'm from the oaks.

Oh this f*cking car n*gga.

Turn your p*ssy a*s around.

O man. Don't even do me like that, man.

You know that wasn't me

who k*lled your niece man,

that was Guy.

I ain't even pull a trigger

man. That wasn't me man.

n*gga, f*ck that. Stand

on what you did (indistinct)

Don't cut deuces now n*gga. (indistinct)

Nah n*gga you was on that

hit regardless n*gga.

Nah, come on. Don't do me like that man.

(g*n fires)

(suspenseful music)

(g*n firing)

(birds chirping)

(tires screeching)

Baby girl, your uncle miss you, baby.

Been thinking about you and I know it

but I got both them n*gg*s.

Love you baby girl.

(birds chirping)

(footsteps thumping)

I'm glad to see you, sis. I'm

just here paying my respect.

It looks like I wasn't invited.

n*gga I told you at

the funeral not to come.

All this sh*t is your f*cking fault.

-It ain't my fault.

-This sh*t not my fault.

Everything happened with

Titi it has to do with me,

but I took care of that business.

Them n*gg*s feel your pain.

Ma, what is this b*tch doing here?

Hoe I told you you was

skating on thin ice.

Who are you calling a b*tch?

b*tch, you your little (indistinct)

Quanda, what's up, bro.

Stop doing that. Not at

my niece (indistinct) bro.

What the f*ck wrong with you?

We don't know this

b*tch, she just badged

to my sister's graveyard.

Got one more time to call me

a b*tch and that's your a*s.

b*tch, b*tch, b*tch.

You ain't gonna do sh*t

to my daughter, hoe.

Oh, why did you come and

bring this bum a*s b*tch

in the first place?

-It's my niece, man.

-What's wrong with you, bro?

You b*tch, you what's wrong with me?

I lost my f*cking daughter, n*gga.

And now my son is in jail.

All this sh*t is your f*cking

fault. I hate you, n*gga.

I f*cking hate you.

That was my niece. My niece.

That's how you feel?

Yeah, that's how I f*cking feel.

I'm your younger brother.

n*gga, you know what I had to just do?

I had to put (indistinct)

in the dirt like a dog.

Why I do anything in my power-

That's what you don't get, n*gga.

You can't make it right, n*gga,

unless you k*ll yourself.

Okay, that's enough.

Neither one of y'all get it.

Both of y'all had no problem

with the street culture

when it benefited each and one of y'all.

Tameka, you took gifts,

cars and money from Lil and O that came straight from drug money

and you never scolded them.

You as well Quanda.

You never seem to care about the streets

with all the victims

that Lil T and O harmed.

I heard the stories.

I know that they true.

O, I went to jail for something you did.

Now Lil T is sitting in the jail cell

for a choice that he made.

Man, what the f-

n*gga, if you don't shut up and listen.

Now y'all sitting fighting,

calling each other's names at a graveyard

when both of y'all are

guilty of y'all crimes.

Both of y'all are guilty of Tiana's death.

But now is the time that you

can turn to God and repent.

You can change what's in your hearts.

You can purify the specs of blackness

that's on your heart before

your whole heart gets corrupted.

Muckmud, f*ck you.

I'm out. Come on, Diamond.

Yeah Diamond go before I whoop your a*s.

Little girl, I keep

trying to give you grace

and not put my paws on your silly a*s.

But you keep pushing me.

[Tameka] Again, you ain't gonna do sh*t.

You sure about that?

[Omari] Diamond, I said let's go.

Go on then, your boss is waiting.

Lucky a*s. (indistinct)

Tameka, you have

every right (indistinct)

But if you feel like that

towards your brother,

you have to feel like that

towards yourself and Wise.

Wise was the one that

introduced O to the game

and you that lifestyle, it's

not fair to just blame O.

- But he-

- But nothing.

Now I'm gonna give y'all time to grieve

and y'all know where to find me

when y'all are ready to heal,

but forgiveness is a must.

But you have to accept what

you did and forgive yourself.

(somber music)

If y'all need anything,

don't hesitate to call. Okay?

(calm music)

I called all y'all

to meet together today.

There gotta be some type of cease fire,

you know what I'm saying?

We done lost on both f*cking sides

because n*gg*s didn't even think

that their cousin was a f*cking rat.

Now, Khalid, he was facing life in prison

for a double homicide, am I lying, Polo?

And the n*gga (indistinct)

That he was snitching Chopz.

We already handled that sh*t.

We got the paperwork on and we handled it.

Now Khalid done beat his f*cking trial,

n*gga coming home in

about two or three months.

You know what I'm saying?

Because remember I told y'all

he was in there fighting jail and sh*t.

Yeah, (indistinct)

Look, we handled that

snake in the grass,

now let's get back to the money.

You feel me?

Facts man, that G

knew that Chopz was hot

and got mad because we did what we did.

That n*gga got the whole hood

beefing over some dumb sh*t.

This sh*t crazy.

m*therf*ckers be my partner in crime.

Yeah.

But you see he went against

the law of the street.

So a n*gga did what he had to do.

I want the hood to come back as one.

No need to buss through another

because a n*gga was a

rat lover. (indistinct)

[Omari] Why Titi? Why

(indistinct) bullshit.

Nah, I feel you bro.

Now here's the thing though,

me, I can supply the hood,

I can make sure n*gg*s eat for life

but this petty a*s beef

sh*t, it gotta stop now.

(birds chirping)

Now cease fire and whoever

break that cease fire

gonna have to deal with me.

[Speaker] Hell yeah.

I'm about to get this

m*therf*cking money n*gg*s.

(indistinct) business.

[Speaker] Me too.

(speaker speaks indistinctly)

Why the f*ck you ain't talking, n*gga.

What's up?

[Speaker] O?

Man look, I hear everything y'all saying

but what the f*ck this

sh*t gonna do for my niece?

She still dead.

Yeah, but that n*gga has been k*lled.

He dead too. (indistinct)

I guess. I don't know.

sh*t I'm with whatever, I'm with it.

Nephew.

Take your head out of

the f*cking game, n*gga.

We got this.

We about to do business, you feel me?

Hey, Muck, man. Hey, n*gga.

What the f*ck is you out here doing

passing on flyers, n*gga?

I felt it was important

that I give our people

a fair shot of a good life.

A good life? n*gga you

see where the f*ck we at?

We in a projects bro.

This little economy, this sh*t

been bringing in millions.

Now you want me to give

you a little bit of money,

or a change and sh*t

for your little bitty bookstore and sh*t?

I could do that bro.

That's how you give back.

You already know.

It's not about money.

It's about bringing truth to our people.

Look, Wise, nobody's gonna save us

so we gotta save ourselves,

we gotta save our soul.

So look, how about you and the family,

y'all come to the first annual

Human Excellence Banquet.

It's gonna be a great day.

n*gga f*ck that banquet, n*gga.

Like I told you before,

you see where we at?

We in the projects,

this sh*t is in us bro.

It's in you, it's in me, from

our fathers, uncles, cousins,

all of that sh*t.

Been feeding the hood forever.

I think you don't realize that

you is a f*cking gangster.

No, I was born to be a human being.

[Wise] Oh really?

To use my mind. That's what a man does.

Oh, so you (indistinct) down there?

Who the f*ck gonna save you?

God got me.

Oh God got you, huh?

Hope you (indistinct) your

a*s off the hood n*gga.

(Omari speaks indistinctly)

You good?

Yes, baby.

Well and it's been a

rough six weeks on Tameka.

And sh*t really been rough for me.

I feel guilty I turned

Lil T onto this lifestyle

and his sister, Titi got

caught in the cross fire.

Babe, can I ask you something?

What's up?

It's a personal question.

Okay.

When you was younger

did you always wanna be

a dancer or a scammer?

Of course not.

I wanted to be a teacher

or a pediatrician.

Like I wanted to go to college

and life just started happening.

I ended up in the strip

clubs and I became a dancer.

That's when I started taking pills

and scamming n*gg*s like

I was robbing 'em too.

I just, I lost my whole identity.

Diamond, listen, bruh, I

know exactly what you mean.

When I picked that g*n

up. I got on them street.

I started taking n*gg*s out

left and right. (indistinct)

But babe, when I was

young I wanted to be a cop

or a lawyer, not a street n*gga.

Listen, those street n*gg*s

and club people. We the same.

It's like we all are selling something

we really don't wanna sell.

And we all out hustling and taking risks.

I ain't...

I haven't never thought

about it like that.

We are all hustlers. Man.

Babe, I just want the way out.

Of the game?

Yes babe. The game.

I want a way out of the game.

See the bag over there? Pass me that.

(Omari speaks indistinctly)

O? O? What are doing? Are you crazy?

I'm getting rid of my work. I quit.

I'm free.

(upbeat music)

I can't, I can't (indistinct)

Babe, don't you owe

them n*gg*s some money?

Hey yes but later for n*gg*s.

Look, you're beautiful. You gorgeous.

(indistinct) down at the club.

You're extremely smart, babe.

Why do you have to scam?

You can sit with me. Be with me, baby.

Let's be free together, me and you.

Free?

Yes, baby, free.

We used to do whatever

the f*ck we wanted to do.

For starters we can go back to college.

We still got that half a ticket

we took from (indistinct)

And I still got some pay from hustling.

A fresh start.

Leave the club and be a teacher?

Man, f*ck that club baby. Yes.

Say it with me, I'm free.

I'm free.

No, say it like...

Look, say it like you mean it, I'm free.

I'm free.

(indistinct) say I'm free.

I'm free. (laughs)

(upbeat music)

What does this mean?

We can do whatever, we can go wherever.

That means you're not a sl*ve to the club.

I'm no a sl*ve to the street no more.

I got you. God got us.

(indistinct) We got each other.

You got me and I got you.

I love you.

I love you too.

(upbeat music)

I'm free.

Yeah.

[Diamond] Yes, I'm free.

(calm music)

(birds chirping)

Bro, who the f*ck that (indistinct)

thousand in a bag still.

Not a dime missing. That's when I knew.

That was a different type n*gga, boy.

-Oh yeah, absolutely.

-That's him all day. (laughs)

That's my man.

I gotta keep real with you though.

I was snick a little jealous

(calm music)

(bell rings)

(latch clicks)

(shoes clacking)

Seriously, Danny, why

I didn't even know you was coming.

Okay, look.

Your family just so happens to be

at the top of my investigation.

So I'm doing my job.

You really need to

let this go. Seriously.

Muckmud did his time. He is done.

Just let my nephew be. Let my family be.

Did your nephew tell you

that I paid him a visit

down at the court the other day?

Look, I tried to handle this

the best way that I can.

Now it's outta my hands.

It's been elevated to the next level

and he is the next person in line.

Okay, so this is about us

because what else would it be?

Of course, I still

have feelings for you.

Very strong.

But I gotta do my job

regardless of what history

you and I have.

Your family, they're going down.

I came to give you a

warning. Leave my family alone.

That's your last warning, Danny.

(shoes clacking)

[Detective Daniels] Vanessa.

What the hell is going on?

What is this?

You know why you're here?

No. Why?

I was just locked up.

Well, let's just say that

I work for a very important man

and you and I could help each other out.

Man, what is this about?

Take me back to jail. We

got waffles in the morning.

Terrance. Look, you

were caught red handed.

Okay, I'll go do my time.

Okay, see right here.

This is the g*n that you used

in retaliation for your sister Tiana.

And there were on ballistics

on this, you're cooked.

But let's just say that

magically another weapon

finds its way into the evidence locker.

They run ballistics on that, no match.

And pretty sure you're free to go.

Plus the only other witness

miraculously died of a drug overdose.

So no one to even testify against you.

Why would you do that though?

One word. Muckmud.

You take him out before this

banquet and you are a free man.

If you don't, you'll rot in prison

for probably the rest of your life.

Not to mention something

happening to Miss Price,

your sweet mother. Your baby mama, Quanda.

Now what do they have to do with this?

How about this, 30

seconds you make a choice,

yes or no in or out or

I blow your head off.

What is it? What's it gonna be?

All right. All right, I'm in.

Switch the g*ns out and get me outta jail

and I k*ll that n*gga Muckmud tonight.

Good. I knew you'd

make the right choice.

I knew it. We're gonna keep

this as insurance though

in case you change your mind.

Y'all got my word.

I don't give a f*ck about

that n*gga, Muckmud.

I'm gonna handle that sh*t.

Just make sure you stay

away from our family.

Yeah.

And one more thing.

I need a plug on that dope.

Baby.
