00:00I left you breathing
00:28so that you could keep me one step ahead.
00:30How come we got to hear about this all secondhand?
00:32That's just going to get you a shallow grave
00:33on the Eastern Park play, you hear me?
00:36I don't know, Frank.
00:37You and Biz with all these Italians,
00:38you playing with fire.
00:41Ah! Shit!
00:43That's a good piece of work.
00:44You almost got me killed.
00:46It's a risky business.
00:47You think I'd dime you?
00:50Over fucking ledges?
00:51But I can't leave room for no error.
00:55Joe Columbo,
00:56but there's no active investigation against him.
01:00Care to explain?
01:01The New York Fine Arts Board
01:02is a very influential group of people.
01:05I imagine that's why you're trying so hard to get on it.
01:07I am trying to get on it
01:09to help black artists get the recognition they deserve.
01:12If you're going to keep hanging out with these militants,
01:15you're not going to be welcome at the house.
01:16So you agree with the Panthers' mission,
01:18but you don't want me to be a part of it
01:19because I might get hurt.
01:19I can't have this around Margaret.
01:21Think there's room for me to crash here?
01:22I don't see why not.
01:25You got a son.
01:28Rodney.
01:29Chewed him up in basic training,
01:31spit him out into the big muddy.
01:33Fuck!
01:33Bumpy, you all right?
01:34Oh, oh!
01:35Hey, hey, talk to me, Bumpy.
01:37Mr. Johnson,
01:38you've had a minor heart attack.
01:39I figured Clumbo would send your sorry ass.
01:45The real enemy is not our fellow black man
01:47or the system that pits us against each other.
01:52Get out.
01:53Thank you all for coming to the groundbreaking

03:31I'll be back when I can.
03:34I'll say, Mamie, this is all quite impressive.
03:45I sourced everything from artists based right here in Ireland.
03:49So, eclectic.
03:52Mamie, your extensive knowledge of art is one reason why we'd like you to join our board.
04:02Oh.
04:03Oh.
04:08I am honored.
04:10Well, I'll put you in touch with my girl Friday to arrange the paperwork.
04:14And the payment of dues.
04:16Dues?

04:20A hundred...
04:22One hundred thousand, sweetheart.

07:58I keep a revolver with your name
08:00I keep a revolver with your name
08:03Just in case
08:04Lay on my back watching the ceiling fan
08:07I had a dream to touch a kilogram
08:10Still at odds with the Irish mob
08:12Roast race down Malcolm X Boulevard
08:15Lord, these d***s really out here praying on me
08:18Got the 40 on me and they stand on me
08:20Snow white mink like them Dutch shorts

08:53I keep a revolver with your name
08:56I keep a revolver with your name
08:58Just in case
09:00Whoever done this shit gonna fucking pay
09:04Now fuck that
09:06You know who did it, huh?
09:08Who did it?
09:09Who was it?
09:09Look, we don't know who it was
09:10Bullshit!
09:12I think you're lying to me
09:13It's the entire head's gonna roll for this shit
09:15You're gonna feel my pain
09:16Somehow they found out that you were selling our dope out of state
09:19I wonder how that fucking happened
09:21Yeah, I was making more money selling those kilos
09:23Than you ever had in your fucking life
09:24That's right, but the other families
09:26They wanted that dope for themselves
09:28We've been shorting them
09:29And they come after me for it
09:31Maybe because they seen you strut around town
09:33Like a fuzzy fucking peacock
09:35This is your fault
09:36Fuck you
09:37Fuck you
09:38All right
09:39Calm the fuck down
09:40The both of you
09:41This is what's gonna happen
09:44Frank
09:46Until we know who's behind this
09:49We're gonna have to cut you off
09:50How the fuck you mean cut me off
09:54Means you're on your own
09:56The Genevieve's family want nothing more to do with you
09:58Until we find out what's going on
10:01With the other families
10:02We're sorry, Frank
10:04I'm really sorry about your girl
10:07Don't tell an explosion
10:36Would keep folks away from the club
10:39You know what they say
10:40There's no such thing as bad publicity
10:42Who's winning?
10:46I am
10:47Who's losing?
10:50That'd be me too
10:51You gotta go in both ways, huh?
10:55At the end
10:55You're all loose
10:58Thinking about your mortality?
11:01Having had a heart attack
11:03Makes me think about a lot of things
11:05What comes before
11:07What comes after
11:08You're the king of Harlem, Bumpy
11:11The crown lies heavy on your head
11:14Who the fuck is it?
11:29Landlord
11:29What you want?
11:32Got a pipe leaking in the bathroom
11:34What are you talking about, Bumpy?
11:48Yes?
11:49Oh?
11:51Yeah
11:52Ah, ah
11:53Ah
11:53Ah
11:54Ah
11:55Ah
11:55Ah
11:57Ah
11:57Ah
11:58Ah
11:59Ah
11:59Ah
12:01Woah
12:01Ah
12:03Ah
12:03Ah
12:03Oh
12:04Ah
12:05Ah
12:06Ah
12:06Ah
12:06Ah
12:09Who sent you?
12:25Who the fuck sent you?
12:31Fuck!
12:39Why the fuck you let him in here?
12:44He was gonna kill me. Please. Please.
12:46I've never seen him before. I swear. Please.
12:48I swear. I'm sorry.
12:50I'm sorry.
12:52Sorry.
12:56It's rent money.
12:58Either you know how to get rid of a dead body,
13:01or you should go ahead and get the fuck out of here now.
13:03Go on! Get it!
13:09I don't understand. How does Frank Lucas survive a car bomb and a hitman?
13:17No one's got a clue.
13:19Yeah?
13:20Yep. Streets are silent.
13:22Interesting.
13:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:25Hey, hey, what the fuck?
13:27Oh, what are you doing?
13:29You got a warrant for what?
13:31Mr. Colombo, you have numerous code violations here.
13:34You won't see my paperwork.
13:36I got permits, approvals, whatever you want.
13:38Oh, yes.
13:39You seem to have found this in your office, actually.
13:41This, uh, certificate to operate.
13:44Yeah, it's legitimate.
13:45Yeah, it looks legitimate.
13:50What the fuck?
13:51Look, you have unsafe working conditions.
13:52Bullshit!
13:53It's illegal dumping a scrap metal on you.
13:54Bullshit!
13:55You're selling stolen car parts.
13:56Bullshit! You guys have been on my ass for months for this, for that, for nothing.
13:59And you've been on a kill-crazy spree since you got out of jail,
14:02so I'll continue to be on your ass until I can solve the murders of Mickey Campanella,
14:06Earl Brantley, and others.
14:10You're gonna hear from my lawyer.
14:16Lock it up, boys.
14:17All right.
14:18Let's go, boys.
14:19All right, close it up.
14:20Come on.
14:21All right.
14:22We'll be back.
14:44Mom, you okay?
14:45Just taking it in.
14:46I want to make something like that one day.
14:51And that is why I want to join the Fine Arts Board.
14:55To help showcase Harlem artists, which someday could be you.
14:59What's wrong with keeping the work here?
15:02Art that's for us, by us.
15:06When did you grow up on me?
15:09Come on.
15:16Oh, you can feel her pain.
15:22Her voice silenced.
15:25These artists, which someday could be you,
15:29they deserve to be seen by the entire world.
15:32Not just by us.
15:35So what's stopping you?
15:37From joining the board?
15:40Money.
15:42How much?
15:43The Queen's ransom.
15:46Can't you just go to Daddy?
15:48Your father's business is barely off the ground.
15:51Well, it seems like it's going well.
15:52Yes, but he's got partnerships, bills, obligations.
15:57The early days of a business are, you know,
15:59they're a sensitive time.
16:01I don't want to tap his dream before it finds its rhythm.
16:04So your dream has to stay on hold?
16:08No.
16:10No, I guess it doesn't.
16:15Darling, when you get older,
16:17whatever it is you want to do,
16:20you make sure you don't need a man to make it happen.
16:24You hear me, sweetheart?
16:25You hear me, sweetheart?
16:38Look at this.
16:41How they made me out like.
16:45They look bumpy and the other prick.
16:48Like fucking kings of England.
16:51Isn't this kind of publicity frowned upon by your associates?
16:55Fuck them.
16:57Point is, I look like a criminal.
16:59Maybe that's why the FBI is singling you out.
17:03They can lay charges on any junkyard in New York City.
17:06They chose yours.
17:07Yeah.
17:08There's fucking ADAs all over my ass like I'm some sort of phenol.
17:12I'd have to break into my own office.
17:14You gotta make a stop.
17:16They're harassing you because they don't have anything else.
17:19I have seen this time and time again.
17:21The law has it in for Italians.
17:23So what do we do about it?
17:29Well, not much can be done legally.
17:35But regarding the ADA, Mr. Pike,
17:39perhaps you have other methods of pushing back?
17:49You gonna charge me for this advice?
17:51Thanks for seeing me.
17:55I'm always interested how a cacklecky boy is making it in the big city.
18:01I'm still breathing.
18:03For now.
18:04But that can change.
18:06No. The man just lost someone.
18:08That said,
18:10next time I hope they'll try to kill you somewhere else.
18:13Yeah.
18:15Them Italians.
18:17You know, just like how I know.
18:20They ain't good for black folk.
18:22You finally realize that?
18:26Look.
18:28I know I done made a lot of mistakes.
18:33Made a lot of...
18:35wrong choices.
18:37But I'm gonna learn from them.
18:38Can't learn shit if you're dead.
18:41Or just a damn fool.
18:43Pettigrew.
18:44Chance.
18:45Let you the boy out.
18:47So I figure...
18:50Since I done got scold by the Italians.
18:53Hell, by you.
18:55Maybe I done learned enough to come work under you.
19:01You wanna work for me?
19:04Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.
19:10I don't really got nowhere else to go.
19:13So...
19:15Yeah.
19:17I'm asking you.
19:19You don't wanna work for me.
19:22You want me to protect you.
19:24I come along with working with you, don't I?
19:27What's wrong with that?
19:29There's one problem.
19:31I don't trust you.
19:33And nothing you've done so far has impressed me.
19:39Maybe, uh...
19:43Give me one more chance.
19:45Yeah.
19:47I think I can change your mind.
19:50I don't think you can.
19:52Good luck, Frank.
19:54You gonna fuckin' need it.
19:56This man has humbled himself.
19:58That's one thing I can respect.
20:01Goodbye, Frank.
20:09Best of luck.
20:14That's right.
20:15That's a great idea.
20:19Right, that's a great idea.
20:21Are we still focusing on that one?
20:24Are we still focusing on that one?
20:28Right now, we're gonna come and get it on our seats.
20:30Oh, yeah.
20:32Listen up, everyone.
20:34All right, now.
20:37Come on.
20:39I read in the paper that your old man's club had a hell of an opening.
20:44You go?
20:46I'm not for all that bougie shit.
20:49Right on.
20:51Where's the date?
20:53Meeting's about to start.
20:54Meeting's about to start.
21:07Your son?
21:09I feel like I don't even hardly know him.
21:13Rodney's mom used to keep me away from him.
21:16She ain't like my influence.
21:19I'm too political.
21:21How often did you get to see him?
21:24Me and Rod, we'd see each other on the sly.
21:27And I taught him how to fix cars.
21:31That's what he doing in, um, vehicle maintenance.
21:34You must be so proud.
21:37Rodney? Hell yeah.
21:41But my boy, he like us.
21:44He'd rather be fighting for black folk here at all.
21:49He ain't got no cord with no vehicle.
21:53So what have you been saying to Rod in your letters?
21:59There ain't never been much for words.
22:02Well, it's a good thing I am.
22:05What, you gonna help me ride him?
22:07Sure.
22:10But not now.
22:11We have a meeting.
22:13All right.
22:15Thanks.
22:20We should go.
22:22You know how if any gifts would be late.
22:26Mrs. Johnson, we can't possibly fulfill your request for a loan of $100,000.
22:32Look, I'm well aware that women typically need their father or husband to act as co-signer.
22:36We've never made a loan to any woman.
22:39Well, I can offer collateral that more than covers the amount.
22:42The jewelry my husband has given me over the years is worth more than that amount.
22:48And once Ellsworth's Club starts raking it in, and all indications are very promising...
22:53Mrs. Johnson, this isn't a pawn shop. It's a bank.
22:57Bumpy's up to his neck in debt. He could default any day now.
23:00We're very sorry, Mrs. Johnson.
23:01The answer's no.
23:05You've gotten millions of dollars from the government to revitalize Harlem. Have you not?
23:11Yes, that's true. What of it?
23:13Well, I am trying to revitalize artistic culture for the people in this community.
23:18A community that includes you.
23:21Think about that.
23:22We don't have to think about that. The answer's no.
23:35This is quite the collection, Mrs. Johnson.
23:39I reckon there's a story behind every stone.
23:42How much?
23:44This jewelry here your husband gave you?
23:49Yes, life ain't all, but it's in glamour at the new club.
23:52Just tell me what it's worth.
23:54Respectfully, I can't take any of this.
23:56Well, this is Michelle Pinesse.
23:59Especially the Pinesse.
24:01I can't afford to pay you what any of this is worth.
24:05My customers show can't neither.
24:07Well, what do you recommend?
24:08Go on down to 44th Street.
24:11Wrights, diamonds, and gems.
24:14They buy tons of this stuff.
24:16Rich white folk, eat it up.
24:21Okay, then.
24:22All right.
24:34Any word yet on who trying to do me in?
24:36No.
24:38But where down the street is, there's 10 grand on your head.
24:41They came into my fucking home.
24:44What am I supposed to do?
24:46I think you should leave town.
24:47And go where?
24:49I don't know, but just don't stay here in Harlem.
24:53So you're telling me you can't do nothing for me?
24:55Look, I'll keep my ear to the ground, but the other families, they ain't exactly open with me.
24:59They've been jealous of our success.
25:01And they don't like that a woman's running things.
25:03Yeah, but they don't too much help me.
25:06Look, Frank, you've been a great earner.
25:08The idea to branch out and sell in Philly, it almost doubled our profits.
25:12You're good at this.
25:13But when you decided to show off, you put a target on your back.
25:16And mine.
25:20Damn.
25:23It is what it is.
25:24My pops always says that when a man's showing off, he's masking his insecurity.
25:30Maybe you should think on that.
25:33Insecurity.
25:35I've been looking over my shoulder my whole life.
25:40You see, we've been two different worlds. I don't expect you to understand that.
25:44And when you come from nothing, sometimes you just want to know what it feel like to have something.
25:49Still, you need to get out of New York City.
25:57I don't do too much running or hiding.
26:01I know.
26:02But you're smart.
26:06Good luck, Frank.
26:07Where I see it, a man in charge of his own luck.
26:14Good luck with that, Sue.
26:24Betts!
26:26Oh, thank the Lord.
26:27I found her wandering around over by the gas station.
26:29It's not a safe place for a kid all along.
26:31I was so worried when she didn't get off the bus.
26:33Thank you so much.
26:34Oh, don't thank me, ma'am.
26:35Thank Joe Colombo.
26:41Here's the strangest thing.
26:42This man came by.
26:43He said he found Elizabeth wandering over by the gas station.
26:47The gas station?
26:49I'm just so relieved she's safe.
26:51Apparently we're to thank Joe Colombo.
26:56Honey, lock all the doors.
26:58Don't leave the house.
26:59I'm gonna send some men over, all right?
27:01Okay.
27:05Put your arm into it, honey.
27:06Hey, baby.
27:07Long day, huh?
27:08You could say that and...
27:11Margaret, something you want to share?
27:12Yeah.
27:13Yeah.
27:14You could say that and...
27:17Margaret, something you want to share?
27:18No, darling.
27:19Everything's fine.
27:20Margaret, why don't you keep on mashing those potatoes?
27:21Margaret, why don't you keep on mashing those potatoes for me?
27:22Mama needs a ton of money to join the art board.
27:23Margaret!
27:24How come you didn't just ask me?
27:25Margaret, how come you didn't just ask me?
27:26You have enough on your plate, Ellsworth.
27:27How much we talking?
27:28Oh, yeah.
27:29Oh, yeah.
27:30Okay.
27:31Oh, yeah.
27:32I'm right.
27:33Come on.
27:34Ooh, man.
27:35Hey, baby.
27:36Long day, huh?
27:37You could say that and...
27:39Margaret, something you want to share?
27:40No, darling.
27:41Everything's fine.
27:42Margaret, why don't you keep on mashing those potatoes for me?
27:45Mama needs a ton of money to join the art board.
27:47Margaret!
27:48How come you didn't just ask me?
27:50You have enough on your plate, Ellsworth.
27:52How much we talking?
27:56100 grand.
27:57That's more than a mortgage.
27:59I could damn near buy Lennox Terrace for that.
28:01So what'd it cost, Daddy?
28:02Keep mashing.
28:05Those white so-and-so should be begging
28:07to have you on that board.
28:09They're trying to extort you out of my hard-earned money.
28:12All charitable boards require a financial commitment.
28:16That's why I didn't bother you with it.
28:18You owe your hard-earned money.
28:20Mama, I think the chicken-
28:22I didn't mean it like that.
28:23So how did you mean it?
28:25Those ladies are a bunch of pretentious downtown socialites
28:28with vapid causes.
28:29You have spent months courting white downtown swells
28:33and me joining an arts board.
28:35To promote black art is vapid?
28:38I support what you're doing.
28:39Mama, I think that-
28:40Why do you want to spend a fortune
28:41buying a seat at a table that they didn't set for you?
28:44Mama, what are you doing?
28:46Cow-towing to Italians.
28:48I have always supported you.
28:50I'd like you to do the same for me.
28:52Mama, I-
28:53My money's all tied up in knots right now.
28:55I just need a minute.
28:56I am well aware of your obligations, Ellsworth,
28:59which is why, again, I didn't bother you with this.
29:01Mama, the chicken is burning.
29:02Oh!
29:03Oh!
29:05Oh, God!
29:09I'm gonna go talk to your mother.
29:23Dear Rodney, I'm so proud of you.
29:27Oh, hold up.
29:29Don't write that.
29:30Why?
29:31Because he ain't gonna believe it.
29:34I-
29:35I wasn't really there for him when he was coming up, so...
29:39Sidi, your son is across the world fighting a war.
29:44And you're fighting a war here at home.
29:47If this letter's the only thing you get to say,
29:48what do you want to say?
29:51Hmm.
29:53Son, I'm so damn proud of you.
29:58What else?
30:02Look, then say...
30:04Say something like...
30:07Damn, I don't know.
30:09I-I-I ain't never been good at, like,
30:12expressing stuff.
30:15Do you want to say,
30:18I wish we could have spent more time together?
30:20Yeah.
30:22Yeah.
30:23Can you say that?
30:25I wish we could have spent more time.
30:40Okay.
30:42So, what's next?
30:44Maybe something like...
30:51I never told you all the things I should've
30:54when you were little about how I feel.
30:57Yeah.
31:01You're right there.
31:02Hmm.
31:07And when you come home...
31:10I'll tell you.
31:21It's beautiful, Elise.
31:26That's exactly what I want to say.
31:28Hmm.
31:30Hmm.
31:31Hmm.
31:32Hmm.
31:33Hmm.
31:34Hmm.
31:35Hmm.
31:36Hmm.
31:37Hmm.
31:38Hmm.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Hmm.
31:48I don't know if you know much about these,
31:50but, uh, this here real nice.
31:52It's worth at least a thousand dollars.
31:55Hmm.
31:57We...
31:59It is a beauty.
32:00More now than I told you.
32:02It's real nice.
32:04Still, I can't give you much for it.
32:06You know, I mean...
32:08Ain't no buyers for shit like this around here.
32:11All right, well, look, I don't need much.
32:14I just need enough to get a bus ticket on home,
32:17getting the hell out of here.
32:19Oh, yeah?
32:20You hightailing it?
32:22Why?
32:23That ain't too much your business, is it?
32:25Yeah.
32:26Yeah.
32:26Not much for the damn coat now.
32:28Hmm.
32:29Yeah, a bunch of big ticket items coming through here today.
32:32You know, I guess folks are going through some hard times, see?
32:35Yeah.
32:37You won't believe this, but...
32:39Bumper Johnson's wife, Mamie, was in my shop today,
32:42trying to pawn her valuable jewelry.
32:46I'd have sent her way downtown.
32:48Huh.
32:49Why you telling me this?
32:55You say downtown?
32:56Mm-hmm.
32:57Where?
32:58Nah, I can't tell you that.
33:00Why not?
33:01That's privileged information.
33:04I mean, my transactions are held in strict confidence.
33:07How much for the damn address?
33:09Yeah, oh.
33:11My wife, she tells me I'm a terrible businessman,
33:16and she's right, you see?
33:18Now, look.
33:21Either we can come to an agreement about this here address,
33:25or I can go about getting it a whole different way.
33:27I'm gonna leave that up to you.
33:30Yeah, you know.
33:33This coat would do nicely.
33:42Anyway, after we drop the kit off,
33:44we get a civics lesson on the radio.
33:47It's the blacks on some program
33:48talking about their rights and shit.
33:50Some real enlightening stuff.
33:52Yeah, we're a minority group, too, you know?
33:54I mean, we're cut out of legit society,
33:56and then we're punished every time we find a workaround.
33:59What the hell is that?
34:01The fucking cops?
34:02Hey, hey, listen.
34:04Don't react.
34:05Do you hear me?
34:06Stay calm.
34:07No!
34:19Oh!
34:20What the fuck?
34:23Good morning, gentlemen.
34:25What are you doing?
34:27What seems to be the problem, officer?
34:29You got a broken tail light.
34:31A broken tail light?
34:34Really?
34:37Yeah, all right.
34:37Thanks for the heads up.
34:45You got a headlight out, too.
34:48Just step out of car.
34:49So what's the matter?
35:02You boys short on fucking money for lunch or something?
35:07That's a message from Pike.
35:08Stay the fuck away from his family.
35:10Yeah, all right.
35:11Hey, I got a message for you to take back to the ADA.
35:14Tell Jonathan Pike to suck my fat fucking-
35:17All right, that's enough.
35:27All right, that's enough.
35:35You have a nice day.
35:36The next order of business, approvals for new members.
35:55Mimi, we've had some-
35:58Developments?
35:59Yes.
36:03In the processing of your application.
36:05Which may complicate moving forward with you on our board.
36:09Oh, complicate how?
36:11Well, you see, my husband-
36:13Of course.
36:14All this is irrelevant if the more pressing matter of dues isn't satisfied.
36:19And, unfortunately, the deadline is-
36:22I have the money.
36:27Oh, cash.
36:30Very nice.
36:32Well, in that case,
36:35Mamie, we'd like to officially extend a position on the board of the New York Fine Arts Museum.
36:42That's-
36:45I am thrilled, Alice.
36:47Alice?
36:49Shouldn't we discuss-
36:51Mamie, the concern Ginny is referring to is the issue of your husband.
36:57And his past.
36:59Certainly that doesn't reflect well on the museum's reputation.
37:03My husband is a well-respected businessman in Harlem.
37:08He's quite a bit more than that, wouldn't you say?
37:13Why should my husband's past have any bearing on my future?
37:18Aren't we women with our own reputations and ambitions?
37:22That we are.
37:24Which is why there's an easy way around this.
37:27Mamie, we'll list you in our role as Miss Mamie Hatcher.
37:36But Hatcher is my maiden name.
37:39I put my marriage on the line to be here.
37:43Miss Hatcher, we'd be delighted to have you on the board with us.
37:50But, of course, it's your decision.
37:53Jill, Minnie, two McAllens.
38:19Don't get it.
38:20You know, you got gambling, you got girls, who knows what else.
38:25And cops, they give you a pass.
38:27So I get pinched.
38:28And you sit here untouched?
38:30I'll pay for my piece.
38:33It's something that goes to you.
38:36I mean, look.
38:37Good for you.
38:38As a black man, your success...
38:42Me, I'm over here, I gotta sweat fucking parking tickets.
38:44What do your problems have to do with my success?
38:46Well, I'm just saying, the blacks, they get everything they want.
38:50Hand it to them, no offense.
38:51You know, me, I get squeezed like a fucking great.
38:53That's an injustice.
38:54Yeah.
38:55You think my people get everything that they want?
38:58Why?
38:58All right.
38:59Maybe not every little thing, but a lot of things.
39:02How many of your civilians are being murdered by cops?
39:04Look, I'm just saying, you can't say that I don't experience prejudice, too.
39:07A lot.
39:10You want to complain?
39:12Go march the fuck on Washington.
39:14Come on, Vin.
39:20Hey, you know what?
39:23You got a point, Johnson.
39:24I'll give you that.
39:28You fucking idiots.
39:44Guess you can take the day off, huh?
39:55Yeah.
39:56Hmph.
39:57We're gonna have to work.
39:57Let's go.
40:27I got a call about your alarm system.
40:29Some kind of problem with it.
40:31Sure would like to check it out.
40:34Okay.
40:35Yeah, follow me.
40:43Well, this is it over here, but I'm surprised because we really haven't had any issues with...
40:49Open it up.
40:51Go on now, you're deaf.
40:55Guys, you ought to go a whole lot faster.
40:57I'm trying.
41:02There it is.
41:04Don't scoop out all that jewelry you hauled in this week and put it in that bag.
41:09Hey.
41:10Don't be no hero.
41:11Put your fucking hands down.
41:28Okay.
41:28Act natural.
41:31Just being is a use.
41:38Stop, thief!
41:39I got your wife's jewelry in that bag.
41:54I got your wife's jewelry in that bag.
41:59You took a bullet getting this from me?
42:00Bump, he probably got a whole squad on his tail, too.
42:03Yeah, this motherfucker's trouble.
42:04He came all the way up here with a bullet in his gut to help the doctor.
42:07What do you need me to do?
42:09Pressure right here.
42:11Right here?
42:11Yeah.
42:11Yeah.
42:12Okay.
42:12There's lost a lot of blood, but it'll be all right.
42:25Pressure here.
42:25Pressure here.
42:25You still want my protection?
42:51Hell, I could so use it.
42:56Why'd you do it?
42:58Steal my wife's jewelry bag.
43:02I don't know.
43:04Feel like I need to prove something to you.
43:06I don't want to run no more.
43:11My daddy done ran his whole life.
43:15Boy, you a damn mess.
43:16You know that?
43:17But you got something.
43:26And if you can learn better to fight your enemies,
43:29you quit fighting yourself.
43:36Goodbye.
43:36Babe, what's wrong?
43:59Babe, what's wrong?
43:59I've done a terrible thing.
44:08What?
44:10Selling your jewelry to get on the board with those white ladies?
44:13I did.
44:14Everything's all right.
44:16It's okay.
44:17I got it back.
44:19I'm Frank Lucas, no less.
44:21I got it back.
44:31I'm sorry.
44:34I'm so sorry.
44:37It's okay.
44:40Dear daddy,
44:42it's hard for me to feel this distance between us again.
44:45It feels like every time we get a little closer,
44:50an ocean opens up between us,
44:52and we're back where we started.
44:54You and I are trying to do the same thing.
44:57Honor Malcolm's memory by helping black folks
45:00out of the oppression they suffer in their own community.
45:04Pawns.
45:05They go first.
45:08They're the weak ones.
45:09They're the smallest.
45:11Yeah.
45:11Even if you don't like how I'm fighting,
45:16can you just be proud of me for trying?
45:18Ladies and gentlemen,
45:20today marks a huge step forward.
45:23A new beginning.
45:24That's right.
45:25Today the Italian-American community stands proud.
45:29That's right.
45:29And determined to fight injustices.
45:32We have watched the Negro community fight valiantly
45:35for their civil rights.
45:37Is this a fucking joke?
45:39I tell you, their courage.
45:40What the fuck is he doing?
45:42And their determination has inspired us.
45:46Good.
45:48That was smart.
45:50This game is like the streets.
45:53Gotta think.
45:54Three, four moves ahead.
45:57New York City and federal law enforcement
45:59have unfairly targeted,
46:01marginalized,
46:02and persecuted
46:03the Italian-American community.
46:05Chief among them,
46:06Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Pike.
46:09They have falsely labeled us
46:11as criminals
46:12and gangsters.
46:14Labels that don't just affect
46:15one of us all.
46:15Deputy Director of Online 1.
46:17Our families,
46:18our children.
46:23Checkmate.
46:25The phone goes first,
46:27but the most important thing
46:28to remember about the game
46:30is to play every piece
46:31into his family.
46:32I miss you, Daddy.
46:38And I hope one day
46:39we can fight together.
46:54And now as Italian-Americans,
46:56we too must fight
46:58for our rights
47:00and our dignity.
47:01There is no such thing
47:03as the Mafia.
47:04We are not criminals.
47:06We ask only to be defined
47:08by our actions,
47:10our integrity,
47:11and our unity.
47:14Yeah.
47:21Stay off, Joe Colombo.
47:22He's making us look bad.
47:24Understood.
47:24Well, we'll just, uh,
47:29we'll find some other way
47:31to take him down.
47:32Come on, let's do another one.
47:34Set it up.
47:34Who runs streets
