IT'S ALL LOVE
Transcript
00:30Previously on Raising Kanan.
00:34What happened?
00:35We gotta get the fuck out of here.
00:37When he wakes up, he could be different than who he was before.
00:40It's not unusual for people with this kind of injury to experience significant bouts of anxiety, even rage.
00:46This bitch tell me she done.
00:48Now she got my work?
00:50Your chart says that the father is recently deceased.
00:54That kind of a loss, coupled with a terminated pregnancy, is a lot to grapple with.
00:59Everybody loses something every day.
01:00Death gotta be easy, Kanan.
01:02Because life is fucking hard.
01:04Your grandmother has kidney cancer.
01:06You're the only one in the family who knows.
01:08My period's late, Kanan.
01:10I could give a fuck about your partner.
01:13What I need to understand is why you neglected to tell me that you had a connection to Marvin Thomas.
01:18I don't even know if I could save myself entirely, but Marvin gotta take the fall.
01:22First they had that CI on me, and now they track me, pressing up on me.
01:26I could shake the trees a little bit over at the bureau.
01:29Shake they fucking trees.
01:31Let these motherfuckers know they walking up the wrong one.
01:33Again, if you've ever seen your father interact with Detective Malcolm Howard.
01:38You fucked up my whole life tonight.
01:41You really think I'm gonna answer your questions?
01:43This is Lowell Gelfand. He owns a few independent labels.
01:47It means that our victim, Frederick Williams, had a lengthy criminal record.
01:51It wouldn't surprise anyone if self-defense was involved here.
01:55This is gonna have to be between the two of us.
01:57I don't like mixing my businesses. It confuses the conversations.
02:01Army? For real? That's what you want?
02:04I don't know. I thought it was.
02:07The Army's not for everyone.
02:09Laverne's a very conservative institution, especially when it comes to certain societal issues.
02:18Stories I could tell.
02:20There's places they could take you.
02:25I'm a hustler, baby.
02:27I'm a hustler, baby.
02:29I know heartbreaks, setbacks.
02:31Bitch, if I crap out, I'm sure I'ma get back.
02:34I've been through the ups and downs. You know I get around.
02:37So to me, it's all a part of the game.
02:39If I ain't the cold man or the dope man, I'm almost the show man.
02:43I gotta take it. No need to say shit. I'm gonna take it.
02:46Burglaries, terror, homicide, it's nothing to play with.
02:49Make money, make, make, make money.
02:52When shit hit, the fam will take money.
02:54Southside.
02:55Be with the best of them. Don't shout at the rest of them.
02:57Checks, I'm collecting them. Check, boy, I'm finessing them.
03:00Big bags of bread.
03:01Boy, you fuck around, put a big bag on your head for the weather break today.
03:05Let's get to it, then we'll do it like we do it now.
03:07Cop it, whip it, bag it, flip it.
03:10We up, we up, G-Dub, what up?
03:13Running around this bitch, still not giving a fuck.
03:15When it come to that paper, there'll be no complications.
03:19That's right.
03:20Put a hole in a nigga right in front of you, your heartbeat pacing.
03:24And it's alright.
03:26That's how we do it on this side.
03:28Niggas get to it on this side.
03:30I know heartbreaks, setbacks.
03:32Bitch, if I crap out, I'm sure I'ma get back.
03:35I've been through the ups and downs, you know I get around.
03:38So to me, it's all a part of the game.
03:40If I ain't the gold man or the dog man, I'm almost a show man.
03:44I gotta take it. No need to say shit. I'm gonna take it.
03:47All of these time homicides, nothing to play with.
03:561, 2, 3.
03:5815.
03:591, 2, 3.

04:011, 2, 3.
04:0217.
04:031, 2, 3.
04:0418.
04:05Conditioning is the only way you weak-ass queers will ever obtain combat readiness.
04:11Combat readiness will allow you sorry cop suckers to survive the field of combat.
04:17A.K.A.
04:201, 2, 3.
04:2219.
04:231, 2, 3.
04:2420.
04:251, 2, 3.
04:2621.
04:271, 2, 3.
04:2822.

04:311, 2, 3.
04:3224.
04:331, 2, 3.
04:3425.
04:351, 2, 3.
04:3626.
04:371, 2, 3.
04:40In the hood we talk about soldiers.
04:42Niggas who ain't never scared.
04:44Always down to die for the cause.
04:46Fight for their flag.
04:48But the truth is, them motherfuckers ain't no real soldiers.
04:51Real soldiers understand the fucking chain of command.
04:56Got discipline.
04:58Strategy.
05:07Ready.
05:15Mark.
05:25Commence with combat training exercise.
05:38Real soldiers been trained to kill.
05:41So no matter how hard you think you and your crew is,
05:44you ain't no real soldier.
05:46You just niggas playing some fake fucking war.
05:48It only ends when everyone lose.
05:58After an exhaustive investigation,
06:01the NYPD has determined that Detective Malcom
06:04The NYPD has determined that Detective Malcom Howard
06:07was involved in a narcotics operation with Ronald Mathis,
06:11a known drug distributor.
06:13The department had initiated an investigation into him
06:16and his connection to the drug trading queens.
06:19It is our belief, and a preponderance of the evidence suggests,
06:23that these murders were carried out by foreign nationals.
06:26While we continue to try to identify, locate, and arrest said individuals,
06:32for now, the local investigatory component of this case is concluded.
06:36Commissioner! Commissioner!
06:38What about Howard's partner, Detective Shannon Burke?
06:41Do you still believe she committed suicide?
06:43We absolutely do.
06:44How is it still possible for this precinct to maintain public trust?
06:48The NYPD is comprised of the best and most professional men and women in the world.
06:53The actions of one detective are an anomaly, not a trend.
06:58Any trust that's been lost or compromised will be earned back.
07:02In conjunction with the Chief of Detective's Office,
07:05we're rolling out a host of robust systemic changes that include, but aren't...
07:11And that's that.
07:13The Howard investigation is done.
07:15They can always restart it, but for now, it's on ice.
07:19Well, what these fads talking about?
07:21That, I don't know. But I'll find out.
07:23They off me, though.
07:25As far as we can tell.
07:27Now, how about you don't get cozy with no snitch-ass white motherfuckers from here on out, though?
07:31I ain't a nigga that get cozy.
07:33Again, the word that's been passed on to me is that the task force has been disbanded,
07:37and the investigation into Marvin is dead and buried.
07:39We need to hear about the fads before we start dancing in the fucking end zone.
07:42I'll gather some additional intel.

10:07We just clearing less.
10:09Cost gone up.
10:11What you talking about, man?
10:12Ain't shit we can do about how much we make.
10:14Market is what it is.
10:16We can fuck with how much we spend.
10:18We gonna drop the starting hourly for the new guys.
10:21Got it.
10:23Inventory, it's getting real tight.
10:25I'm gonna get in rocks, see where our product is.
10:32I'll suck it back with you later.
10:34Word.
10:38How you, uh...
10:40How you feeling, Crystal?
10:42I'm good. I'm seeing what about you?
10:44Still fucking with that allergy season.
10:47It sure never ends for me.
10:49My sinuses are all to a runner.
10:52I hope that gets better.
10:54It won't.
10:57O.C.'s a strange kid.
11:01Look, niggas go with numbers, not people.
11:04The business is about relationships, Kanan.
11:07And nobody but you want a relationship with that nervous fuck.
11:10O.C. all right.
11:12O.C. all right.
11:14Crystal always got her eyes on this, what?
11:20My eyes are on you, baby.
11:24And you know I like what I see.
11:42You can stop smelling the flowers
11:44in Southside Jamaica, nigga.
11:48Ain't no flowers in Southside Jamaica, big brother.
11:58Somebody who knows my body
12:01Better than me
12:04Oh, baby, take me to a place
12:07Make me feel ecstasy
12:11Go get a Jimmy hat.
12:22I could pull out.
12:24Like you did before?
12:26Nah, baby, we handled that.
12:30I handled that.
12:32Yeah, but I paid for it.
12:41Paying is the easiest shit you could do, Kanan.
12:45I wanted that baby,
12:47but I did what I did because you asked me to do it.
12:50Well, because it was the right call.
12:52It was the right call for you.
12:57I want to be a mother.
12:59I want to love a child and have a child love me back.
13:02Crystal, it don't always work out that way.
13:04Just because you and your mother
13:06have some kind of fucked-up relationship
13:08doesn't mean it'd be the same for me.
13:16I know you're talking to other girls, Kanan.
13:19I'm not stupid.
13:24Tell me you're not.
13:26I'm not.
13:28And you're lying.
13:30Because I'm not.
13:32And you're lying.
13:34Because I saw you outside talking to Mikayla the other day.
13:36Mikayla?
13:38She's just a hoover. I don't even mean nothing. Stop it.
13:42You know what?
13:44Fuck this.
13:48Crystal.
13:50Yo, what?
14:02You want to see me?
14:04Shut the door, Garcia.
14:10I'm assuming you saw that press conference.
14:14And I'm assuming you heard the Commissioner's comments
14:17for the barrel of bullshit that they were.
14:20You mean all that crap about the foreign nationals hitting Howard?
14:23I mean everything.
14:25The task force has been disbanded,
14:27but this case is not closed.
14:29Not by a long shot.
14:31The Bureau only cares about organized crime.
14:33And they don't think Howard gets them
14:35anywhere in that regards right now.
14:37But for you and me,
14:39there's no world where the murder of a cop,
14:42even a dirty one, goes unanswered.
14:46I'm probably six months
14:48from them making me take early retirement.
14:50But until then, I still got work to do.
14:53When I walk out of here for the last time,
14:55I want this case closed.
14:57I don't want it hanging over me for the rest of my life.
14:59So this one's a passion project for you and me.
15:02You're gonna be a one-man band.
15:04But it needs to be only QT,
15:06not a goddamn whisper.
15:08Press up your informants,
15:10lean on your locals,
15:12squeeze hard on anyone you can.
15:14Whoever put Howard down is still out there.
15:20My guess is the shooter's the same one
15:22who wet him up by Basley way back when.
15:25Somebody's got to pay Garcia.
15:27And this bill is way past due.
15:34How are Favre's soldiers doing?
15:36She hit me a few weeks ago.
15:38Told me it's a lot of suckers
15:39screaming in her face and shit.
15:41Don't she used to that?
15:43She Marvin Thomas' daughter.
15:45Now that somebody all cleaned up and dried out,
15:48they got jokes.
15:50I don't know.
15:52If you're a poor thing,
15:54you need to keep yourself busy.
15:56Find some shit you care about.
15:58When niggas don't care, they get careless.
16:00That's not what you need to be on right now.
16:03Got a meeting.
16:05This kid that Shirley linked me with.
16:07Guy who put out a fame single?
16:09That little Puerto Rican nigga
16:11getting love on the radio for that song y'all did.
16:13But I heard the police took a warrant out on him.
16:16Word around is that, uh,
16:18he's got a gun.
16:20Word around is that, uh,
16:22he's been talking.
16:24Then got scared and said too much
16:26and got to running.
16:28Fame ain't no snitch.
16:30When niggas looking at a long bed,
16:32they get real chatty.
16:36I just want to say thank you, Marvin.
16:41Pac told me you kicking in on that V.I.P. bill.
16:45You always there for me.
16:47I'm thick and fucking thin.
16:49I just need you to know
16:53that don't go unnoticed.
16:55Or unappreciated.
16:57I heard that.
17:00You wasn't lying though, brother.
17:02That V.I.P. thing is
17:04some other other shit.
17:08It's all right.
17:10It's all right.
17:12What happened to Mr. fucking breathing and talking
17:14and feeling?
17:16Got straight shit on by some crack-ass
17:18motherfucker he was trying to help.
17:20And I did right by that fool.
17:22He still did me wrong.
17:24That ain't how it's supposed to work.
17:27Fuck jail, man.
17:29Fuck everybody.
17:31You did right by me?
17:33I ain't gonna do you wrong.
17:36I ain't counting those chickens yet.
17:48You ain't wanting to do it with me,
17:50but you can't get enough of my washing dryer.
17:54I need that real.
18:04Going through this work, I'm giving you fast.
18:06Making less on it, though.
18:08Maybe you and I can sit down,
18:10go through your books, and see what's what.
18:12Trim out some fat.
18:14My books ain't shit.
18:16Trim out some fat.
18:18My books all right.
18:20Police moving on.
18:22All of that mess in the rearview for now.
18:24Ain't nothing but open road up ahead for us.
18:27Hey.
18:29There you stance in the fucking traffic again.
18:34Just let me know when we get in that inventory.
18:36Quan wants me to come through for a conversation
18:38before he hits us off again.
18:40I'll keep you posted?
18:46Come on.
19:16Come on.
19:46I keep telling you,
19:48I don't know we're famous.
19:50Yeah, I keep telling you that you're full of shit.
19:53Two months now since anyone's seen your homie,
19:55and you expect and believe that you don't know anything?
19:57I don't expect you to do shit, Farvo.
19:59I'm just telling you,
20:01no matter how many times you roll up on me,
20:03it don't change shit.
20:05I don't know we're famous.
20:07Fuck!

20:15You hear anything about what happened there?
20:17That was your dirt, man.
20:20I just heard
20:22that cop was playing with niggas that don't play.
20:26That could make your life
20:28real tough out here, Kanan.
20:30Real complicated.
20:32I ain't worried.
20:34You should be.
20:37Fuck you, Garcia.

24:50Fuck out of here, corn.

24:58Have a good day.
25:28Let's go.
25:42You're gonna love this.
25:44You're gonna be thrilled.
25:46My Paulette and her husband Tommaso,
25:49they're expecting.
25:51Ah, hey, Grandpa Stefano.
25:53Hey, congratulations.
25:57After.
25:59After that cocksucker
26:01caught your straight right hand to the jaw,
26:03that is.
26:05Love hurts sometimes.
26:07Hey, listen.
26:09I know it's been a while
26:11since our last adventure together.
26:13But I got something
26:15that I think could use your soft touch.
26:17I got this bookie in Corona.
26:19He's skimming off the top.
26:21And I warned him already.
26:23But he's not a good listener.
26:25He doesn't respond well
26:27to constructive criticism.
26:29So you want me
26:31to try, um,
26:33destructive criticism?
26:35You killed me, man.
26:37I don't want it
26:39to be too acrimonious.
26:41I know the guy's a decent earner.
26:43Man, just ring his bell.
26:45See who's home.
26:47Ding dong.
26:49That's my man.
26:51That's it.
26:55How are you so fine?
26:57How are you so fine?
26:59How are you so fine?
27:01How are you so fine?
27:03Lou Thomas.
27:05Ha ha.
27:07Feels like I've been waiting for you my whole life.
27:09Come on in.
27:11How are you so fine?
27:13How are you so fine?
27:15How are you so fine?
27:17How are you so fine?
27:19Numbers keep getting stronger
27:21for yours and famous's song.
27:23Wind in our sails?
27:25We might be hanging some new hardware on these walls.
27:27Anyone heard from him, by the way?
27:29Not that I know of.
27:31Kid's got a hot record
27:33and isn't even around to enjoy the wind.
27:35It's a real shame.
27:37He'll circle back. Fame just got to clear his head.
27:39Hey, I know that you've been
27:41waiting for me to get out to have this conversation,
27:43and I really appreciate the patience.
27:45What, you think you're the first guy to ever go to rehab, Lou?
27:47I've been three times myself, cocaine,
27:49liquor, and pussy, in that order.
27:51Although between us, the sex addiction nonsense
27:53was just me trying to convince my wife
27:55at the time that I didn't have any control
27:57over myself when I fucked her sister.
27:59Point is,
28:01no one is beyond redemption, my friend.
28:03Everyone can be saved.
28:21Jill.
28:25For real, it's you.
28:31I can't believe it's you.
28:35Can't believe it?
28:47I'm sorry.
28:51Cheers.
29:05I'm a big gut guy, Lou.
29:09And my gut is screaming at me here.
29:13Lou's the one. Lou is the one.
29:17And what exactly am I the one for again?
29:19It's not that different, my friend.
29:21It's not that different than your bulletproof records,
29:23only with a few less corpses
29:25and a couple more million in financing.
29:27I want you to run it.
29:29The biggest success we've had so far
29:31is this little single that you and Famous
29:33threw together in the back at Cafe Vu,
29:35which tells me
29:37you know how to do something I don't.
29:41I'm just a schmuck from Great Neck
29:43who's still sleeping off a bad trip from Woodstock.
29:45But I do know enough to know
29:47that rap is the future
29:49and that you see it
29:51in a way I can't.
29:55I, uh...
29:57I listen to the acts you guys sound
29:59like you asked me to.
30:01Mm-hmm.
30:03Talk to me.
30:06Hip-hop is honest.
30:08Whether you're on a corner or you're in a club,
30:10something about the music gets you.
30:12Something about the music gets you.
30:14Could just be the beat.
30:16Could be the rhymes.
30:18Whatever it is,
30:20it should reach you.
30:22You only got one artist that got that realness.
30:24B-Rilla.
30:26B-Rilla's real, all right?
30:28Real pain in my ass, and he's currently
30:30really residing in Manhattan Correctional.
30:32I was just talking to my attorney
30:34about voiding our deal with him.
30:36His first album didn't even chart.
30:38Not his fault. Flow was hot.
30:40So...
30:42if I hold on
30:44to the problem child
30:46that is B-Rilla,
30:48you'll come on board
30:50and we can build
30:52this imprint together.
30:54That's not what I was... That's not what I was saying,
30:56Mr. Gelfand. I was...
30:58No, Lowell.
31:00Lowell...
31:02I just got out of rehab
31:04with nothing...
31:06but questions about myself
31:08and where I'm headed.
31:10And the only answer that I got
31:12that makes sense at all is...
31:14I gotta leave my options open.
31:16My next decision
31:18is the most important decision
31:20that I will make.
31:22Win is...
31:24I don't think I'm ready to decide anything right now.
31:31Why don't we do this?
31:35Go meet with B-Rilla.
31:37Because...
31:39if you love him, I love him.
31:41So talk to him.
31:43Just see what you think. If he still intrigues you,
31:45and if you decide something I said
31:47to you today sparks your interest,
31:49let's keep talking.
31:51Like I said, Lou,
31:53I've been to rehab, too.
31:55And remember how they don't let you close your door
31:57when you're in there? So...
31:59let's not close this door here either.
32:01Not yet, at least.
32:03You're a good man.
32:05Not yet.
32:07But I'm aiming for it.
32:21He's just fucking with me because he can.
32:23Because he know that I can't go nowhere else.
32:25Hey, look,
32:27I don't have much sway with Quan.
32:29You know what we do?
32:31We put down stakes with the other families
32:33to secure the territories where it's sold.
32:35Everything else is between you and him.
32:37Yeah, well, you told me that I had to fuck with him.
32:39That he was the only game in town.
32:41Because we got an existing arrangement with him.
32:43Jesus.
32:45What if I wanted to be Quan?
32:49Step up the ladder and be the supplier.
32:53Well...
32:55there's a lot of rungs you'd have to go through
32:57if you wanted to be Quan.
32:59There's a lot of rungs you'd have to climb.
33:01And then you'd have to have a friend
33:03with a whole lot of poppy fields.
33:05And those friends are hard to find
33:07and even harder to trust.
33:09But what if I found one?
33:14Hey, look,
33:16you make me an offer.
33:18A better offer than our Vietnamese associate.
33:20I think that would be something worth discussing.
33:29Ugh.
33:41Damn, Juke.
33:47Helps when you got one of your own.
33:49It really does.
33:51Okay.
33:59When I saw you earlier today,
34:01I thought maybe you weren't happy to see me.
34:03Mm-mm. I was just surprised.
34:05I wasn't expecting you.
34:08But I'm glad you're here.
34:15So...
34:17how long they let you out for?
34:21I let myself out.
34:25You quit?
34:28Ain't you gonna get in trouble for that?
34:30Maybe.
34:32Probably.
34:34Shit.
34:36Who the fuck am I kidding?
34:38Definitely.
34:40Fuck the Army.
34:42I couldn't be myself in there.
34:44And I'm not lying about who I am.
34:46Not for nobody.
34:48So...
34:50going home now, or...?
34:56I was thinking...
34:58maybe...
35:00I could stay and kick it here with you.
35:03Just for a minute.
35:05See what this college life is really like.
35:08For a little bit.
35:10If that's okay.
35:14Or not.
35:16I mean, like, I could go.
35:18I should have called you first.
35:20I shouldn't have bounced like that.
35:22That was really stupid.
35:24You didn't do anything wrong.
35:26Not at all.
35:28I'm happy to see you.
35:36But...
35:38yeah.
35:40A lot has happened since we last saw each other.
35:44I mean, I'm in college now.
35:46I'm learning all kinds of things.
35:48But mostly, what I'm learning about is me.
35:51And what I'm realizing is...
35:53I don't know me.
35:58I haven't made myself sick since I've been here.
36:01That's great.
36:05Just like you, Jude.
36:07Just trying to...
36:09figure myself out.
36:12And figure out where you belong.
36:16And as much as I care about you...
36:21I think I gotta do that on my own.
36:24For a little while.
36:46We're closed.
36:48Come back tomorrow.
36:51I ain't here for eight-ball, brother.
36:57Your friend in Queens...
36:59I want you to stop scheming off them bets you're taking.
37:04I'm here to make sure you hear him.
37:08Make sure you know what time it is.
37:10And that's what I'm here for.
37:12You hear him.
37:14Make sure you know what time it is.
37:20You try to pull a gat on me?
37:22Are you out your fucking mind?
37:24Just came here for conversation.
37:26You want to get into a fucking gunfight?
37:30Yeah, bitch-ass nigga.
37:32White man got you sweeping up after him like a fucking janitor.
37:38I make Stevano too much money for you to do shit to me anyhow.
37:42See...
37:43I call shots...
37:45While your step-adventured ass run errant, motherfucker.
37:53Didn't call those shots, did you...
37:55Black man?
38:12It's the last one you fronted Ronnie in Canaan.
38:14Y'all leaving now.
38:16We ain't even on what we invested.
38:19We ain't even on...
38:21Our return.
38:22Think we put up that money just to get the same shit back?
38:25We give money to make money.
38:28We own a piece of the business.
38:30Y'all ain't say nothing to me about owning a piece of nothing...
38:33When I told y'all I was putting Ronnie down.
38:35Y'all just said his debt was gonna be mine.
38:38Clearly.
38:39Y'all just said his debt was gonna be mine.
38:42Clearly you are not aware of one of investing's foundational pillars...
38:45The return.
38:47Take money to make money.
38:49You took from us, now you making for us.
38:52Any deal you made with Ronnie went in the ground with him.
38:54With all due respect, this conversation doesn't involve you, Rock.
38:57We finance Canaan and Ronnie's enterprise, not yours.
39:01Hold on.
39:03I had my shit up and running way before I even met y'all.
39:06And before I even met Ronnie.
39:08You want to hold on to the profits from your reefer business?
39:10Have at it, young buck.
39:12But all the money from that horse you moving?
39:14That gets divvied up between us.
39:19Well, like you said, I wasn't part of any deal you and Ronnie made.
39:22Y'all did that on your own.
39:24This is some bullshit! What the...
39:26I'm starting to think you got a real problem with loyalty, baby.
39:30And I'm gonna agree with my better half.
39:32You put a bullet in the back of your business partner's head.
39:35And while I hesitate on weighing in on family matters,
39:38it's clear that your devotion to your mother is suspect at best.
39:42And this all speaks to a certain dearth of fidelity on your part
39:45when it comes to your family and friends.
39:47You don't know shit about me.
39:49We learning, though.
39:51Let's go, Canaan.
39:52I'm not done talking.
39:58You listen to your mother, son.
40:01We'll continue this conversation when you've settled down.
40:05Okay?
40:10Go home.
40:13We out, Canaan.
40:30You gotta be real careful with Snaps and Pop, Canaan.
40:33I can't get to where they are without dropping a whole lot of bodies behind me.
40:36Oh, like how you got to where you are?
40:38I can say the same to you.
40:41You decided to do Ronnie on your own.
40:44And you decided to do what you did.
40:46I saw an opportunity to solve a problem in the moment and I took it.
40:49That's all I did.
40:50That problem was my father.
40:52It was the right thing to do.
40:56You even know the difference between right and wrong?
40:58I know the difference between life and death.
41:00And I know the only reason you're still breathing right now is because of the calls that I've made.
41:04You alive because of me.
41:07Now, you may not like my decisions, but you love the results.
41:11Look, I ain't forcing you to work for me.
41:13You want out, just give me the word and you can go.
41:18Exactly.
41:19You ain't saying shit because there ain't shit to say.
41:21You're making more with me than you ever did because I'm getting you more work at a better price.
41:26Our business is good, Canaan.
41:28And it can get even better.
41:31I mean, this is what we always talked about, you and me.
41:37It's one thing not to be able to trust my son.
41:39I mean, I can almost live with that.
41:41But I have to be able to trust my business partners.
41:58I'm sorry.
42:28Ah, you know what I want.
42:31I know.
42:34Smack the shit out of you.
42:35Play on me, nigga.
42:41What the fuck do you want?
42:45I'm Lieutenant.
42:46I know who you are, my nigga.
42:50You got out that record with Rico Suave.
42:56Shit whack as hell.
42:57Streets seem to disagree.
42:59Fuck the streets.
43:00They don't know no better.
43:02They only play that shit y'all give them.
43:05What you here for?
43:07I've been talking to Lil' Gelfand.
43:09About that hip-hop thing he's doing.
43:10Listen to who he got.
43:11You're the only artist worth something over there.
43:13I wanted to see where your head was at.
43:14What you thinking?
43:15I'm thinking, fuck that Drew motherfucker.
43:17Fuck Gelfand.
43:19Fuck his label.
43:20Fuck this industry.
43:22I've been signing that nigga for two years.
43:24I'm still on fucking welfare.
43:26So fuck all y'all.
43:28That's what I'm thinking.
43:31What you in here for, man?
43:32Some shit I ain't do.
43:33What didn't you do then?
43:35Well, I didn't rob nobody.
43:39Look.
43:40The opportunity to work with you is real interesting to me.
43:43I respect you and your talent.
43:45And I think we might see this music shit the same.
43:50I just want to know if you down.
43:53In case you ain't notice.
43:55I'm in jail, nigga.
43:57I can't do shit from here.
43:59Tell me you're ready to work.
44:00I'll get you out of here by the end of the day.
44:04You get me out of here by the end of the day,
44:06I'll tell you whatever the fuck you want.
44:14This type of carcinoma
44:18is a menace.
44:21Despite everything we've tried,
44:22your scans appear to indicate
44:24that the cancer has grown
44:26in both your kidneys
44:28and spread to your lungs as well.
44:30Appear to indicate?
44:32Sound like you're not sure.
44:40I'm dying, baby.
44:45We could increase
44:47and intensify the chemotherapy
44:48but I'm concerned
44:50that that would be a harder road
44:52to travel
44:54to a destination
44:56which isn't going to change appreciably.
45:00That motherfucker
45:02wasn't never going to listen to reason.
45:04And he disrespected
45:06the hell out of me and you.
45:08He's replaceable, man.
45:10There's a sucker on every corner
45:12of Southside Jamaica
45:13that can do the job.
45:14What's that?
45:15With their eyes closed.
45:16What the fuck?
45:18Um, my daughter
45:19who was supposed to be
45:20in basic training
45:21just walked in my damn door.
45:23Yo, um,
45:24I got to go, Stephon.
45:25I'll hit you later.
45:28I didn't even know
45:29you were coming home.
45:30Me neither.
45:35Duke's back.
45:37My baby's back.
45:38Duke's back.
45:40My baby's back.
45:48I got you.
45:56Get your chair.
46:02Thank you, baby.
46:05I'll, uh, make you that tea?
46:08Yeah.
46:15I know we're all about
46:16holding secrets
46:17from each other in this family
46:18but this feels like
46:19one secret you can't
46:20hold like that.
46:25I don't know what's worse.
46:28Facing death
46:31or facing my kids.
46:32The FBI is no longer
46:33interested in pursuing
46:34an investigation
46:35into you and your family.
46:37However, they do
46:38remain focused
46:39on organized crime.
46:41Specifically,
46:42one Stefano Marchetti.
46:44My mole inside the Bureau
46:45informs me that both
46:46you and Marvin
46:47were observed
46:48separately meeting
46:49with Mr. Marchetti
46:50earlier this week.
46:51My Marvin?
46:52Marvin Thomas?
46:54Assumed you knew.
46:55Yeah, yeah.
46:56That's right.
46:57That's right.
46:58I'm Marvin Thomas.
46:59Marvin Thomas.
47:00Yeah, yeah.
47:01That's right.
47:02I knew that.
47:03They was talking about
47:04fishing tanks and shit.
47:06Well, the FBI
47:07is willing to offer you
47:09what amounts to be a
47:10get-out-of-jail-free card
47:12for you to use at any time
47:14in exchange for information
47:15that could be used
47:16to prosecute Mr. Marchetti.
47:19Feds want me to snitch?
47:20They want your help
47:22and are willing to
47:23compensate you
47:24substantially for it.
47:26My source made it sound
47:27like a standing offer
47:28so it might be a conversation
47:29you could return to later
47:30if necessary.
47:32Good to know.
47:34Yeah.
47:38Fresh out the cell
47:39I'm well ready to risk it
47:40Trigger happy
47:41See the sparks

49:34One day at a fucking time.
49:37I like the new guy.
49:40He's got some potential.
49:42So do you.
49:46Someone's looking for you.
49:56Big round of niggas.
50:03By the way, Louis had me get a friend of his out of Manhattan Correctional earlier today.
50:08As it falls outside the scope of our retainer, I'll be forwarding you an invoice for that.
50:12Well, a loose label guy gonna pay for that.
50:14But you can send me the bill.
50:16You know, one of these days you're gonna tell me who all your connects are, Andre.
50:20We got peoples in the FBI, the NYPD.
50:23You know what they doing before they do.
50:25Well, if I share all my trade secrets, I become superfluous.
50:28And that's the last thing any attorney wants to be.
50:31And if they no need, then a nigga's unnecessary.
50:33Precisely.
50:35Well, don't worry. I still need you, Andre.
50:38Yes, you do.
50:42I'll be in touch.
50:50I'll be in touch.
51:15He's got presence and charisma. I'll give him that.
51:18You got a lot to say. You just gotta see if you know how to say it.
51:26So you wanna make some money, Lou?
51:31I wanna make some music.
51:33I have my lawyers draw up an employment contract for you.
51:39No doubt.
51:41Yo, one water, two whiskey.
51:49Yeah, nigga, it's a robbery.
51:53When I'm in kill mode, it's like a demon live inside of me.
51:55Catch a rapper slipping, feel like I hit the lottery.
51:58Hit your whole crew, so none of y'all can follow me.
52:00I said it's New York's finest, I shoot cops, I move rocks.
52:03Hustle on two blocks, stash in a shoebox.
52:06Feel like a giveaway, should've picked a different day.
52:09House party getaway, if you think I'm kidding, play.
52:11Back to the corner, so I can kick my feet up.
52:14Yo, hold on, hold on, hold on, cut that shit.
52:17True story, nigga got out of jail today.
52:20I'm up on stage tonight, all this can change on a dime.
52:23Play that shit.
52:27Yeah, nigga, it's a robbery.
52:29There's a difference between a performer and an artist.
52:32Just like there's a difference between a soldier and a killer.
52:35None of y'all can follow me.
52:37I told you, tuck your chain in, nigga.
52:42Put your hands up.
52:44Soldiers are trained, prepared, just like a performer.
52:48Just like a performer, they're taught that shit.
52:51Schooled in the game.
52:54But an artist is a natural.
52:56That talent is God-given.
52:58Can't be taught.
53:00Can't be learned.
53:02So you fuckin' me?
53:08Because if you fuckin' me...
53:13You can be damn sure she fuckin' you, nigga.
53:16Hey, wait, wait, wait a second.
53:22And it's the same for a killer.
53:24That shit is just in them.
53:26It's just part of who they are.
53:29See, it's real simple.
53:31Soldiers are made.
53:34Killers are born.
53:47That's a part of man.
53:49Stack cheese with ease.
53:51That's the master plan.
53:53That's a part of man.
53:55Keep files by the pile.
53:57So we stackin' grams.
53:59That's a part of man.
54:01Stack cheese with ease.
54:03That's the master plan.
54:05That's a part of man.
54:07Keep files by the pile.
54:09So we stackin' grams.
54:11That's a part of man.
54:13Stack cheese with ease.
54:15That's a part of man.
54:17Keep files by the pile.
54:18So we stackin' grams.
54:20Who left it open and let them poison?
54:22That new shit on your block, now pick your poison.
54:25Black or red tops, Jamaican or Port-a-Rox.
54:28You cut that shit proper, it's poppin' at every spot.
54:31That green come clean, I'm keepin' every cent.
54:33Fuck Uncle Sam, nigga, I'm tax exempt.
54:36I keep that heat close in case a boy want to test that.
54:39The last fool that tries at Cyprus takin' a dirt nap.
54:42Push a product hand-to-hand.
54:44No defense, no zone, I'm man-to-man.
54:46Got the top-notch tops, fuck what they say.
55:14So you gonna mess with this music thing again?
55:16Nah.
55:17Music always been your dream.
55:18Only dream when I'm asleep.
55:21Playing with fire, nigga.
55:23I am fire.
55:25And I'ma burn down everything.
