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?
00:35I 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.

05:22I think she's the fucking king of Harlem.
05:27Oh, he's definitely moving junk for somebody.
05:30The question is who?
05:33Mr. J.
05:38You sounded aces up there.
05:41I apologize for me coming in and stepped on your speech.
05:44It's all right.
05:45Yeah.
05:46I mean, I gotta say this place real nice.
05:50You done good.
05:51I think you done good, too.

05:54Yeah, you see, I'm a fighter.
05:56I'm gonna fight for what's mine.
05:58You know what I'm saying?
05:59I can guess.
06:00No douche in the club, all right?
06:02No, I ain't here for that, man.
06:04I ain't here to sell nothing.
06:05I'm just here to celebrate you.
06:06That's it.

06:08Yeah.
06:09Yeah, chinchilla.
06:10You like that?
06:11Know what chinchilla is?
06:12Some kind of fox.
06:13Chinchilla is a rodent.
06:16Ooh, Frankie.
06:17I think I'm gonna keep you.
06:18I'm gonna keep you.
06:19I'm gonna keep you.
06:20Oh, you are?
06:21I'm gonna hold you real tight.
06:22Oh, okay.

06:49Don't keep me waiting now.
06:51Get you on home.
06:52And then what?
06:55Hey, man, Lucas.

07:01Ain't nobody tell you it's summertime, man.
07:03You out here swinging pelt.
07:05Yeah, man.
07:06Go ahead with your bad self.
07:07Somebody got to do it.
07:08But I got to take off, man.
07:10You be safe.
07:10You know how these streets do.
07:11Come on, you ain't got no time for your boys.
07:14You see what's in that car.
07:15Come on, now.
07:16Man, I guess I ain't as pretty as her, man.
07:19Monique!
07:42Open up my window again.
07:45Open up my window again.
07:47I can end up calling my name.
07:50I can end up calling again.
07:53I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
07:55I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
07:58I keep a revolver with your name.
08:01I keep a revolver with your name.
08:03Just in case.
08:05Lay on my back watching the ceiling fan.
08:08I had a dream to touch a kilogram.
08:11Still at odds with the Irish mob.
08:13Rose race down Malcolm X Boulevard.
08:15Lord, these d***s really out here praying on me.
08:18Got the 40 on me and the stand on me.
08:21Snow white mink like them Dutch shorts.
08:23Run the books and let me show you how the numbers look.
08:26You can't be lucky like you Luciano.
08:29The kilos coming like they do pianos.
08:32The fat boy got the big body.
08:35Coast to coast, I could shoot product.
08:36Open up my window again.
08:40Open up my window again.
08:43I can end up calling my name.
08:45I can end up calling again.
08:48I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
08:51I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
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.
09:05Now 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.
09:11Bullshit.
09:12I think you're lying to me.
09:14It'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 than you ever had in your fucking life.
09:24That's right, but the other families, they 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 like a fuzzy fucking peacock.
09:35This is your fault.
09:37Fuck you.
09:37Fuck you.
09:38Now cut your fucking...
09:38All right, calm the fuck down, the both of you.
09:43This is what's gonna happen.
09:46Frank, until we know who's behind this, we're gonna have to cut you off.
09:52Fuck you, man, cut me off.
09:54It means you're on your own.
09:56The Genevieve's family want nothing more to do with you.
09:59Until we find out what's going on with the other families.
10:03I'm sorry, Frank.
10:05I'm really sorry about your girl.
10:07Don't tell an explosion.
10:11I thought that explosion would keep folks away from the club.
10:39You know what they say. There's no such thing as bad publicity.
10:44Who's winning?
10:46I am.
10:48Who's losing?
10:50That'd be me, too.
10:52You got it going both ways, huh?
10:55At the end, we all lose.
10:59Thinking about your mortality?
11:01Having had a heart attack makes a man think about a lot of things.
11:06What comes before, what comes after.
11:09You're the king of Harlem, Bumpy. The crown lies heavy on your head.
11:15Who the fuck is it?
11:29Landlord.
11:31What you want?
11:33You got a pipe leaking in the bathroom.
11:47What are you talking about, Bumpy?
11:49Huh?
11:50Oh, oh.
11:51Oh.
11:52Oh.
11:53Oh, oh.
11:54Oh, oh.
11:56What's to do?
11:57Oh.
11:58Ah!
11:59Ah!
12:00Uh.
12:01Oh.
12:02Oh.
12:03Oh.
12:04Oh.
12:05Oh!
12:06Oh.
12:07Ah!
12:08Oh!
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. I've never seen him before. I swear. Please. I swear. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
12:52Sorry.
12:56It's rent money.
12:59Either you know how to get rid of a dead body, or you should go ahead and get the fuck out of here now.
13:04Go 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?
13:30There he is.
13:31Mr. Colombo, you have numerous code violations here.
13:34You won't see my paperwork. I got permits, approvals, whatever you want.
13:38Oh, yes.
13:39You seem to have found this in your office, actually. This, uh, certificate to operate.
13:44Yeah, it's legitimate.
13:45Yeah, it looks legitimate.
13:47What the fuck?
13:50Look, you have unsafe working conditions.
13:52Bullshit!
13:53It's illegal dumping a scrap metal.
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, so I'll continue to be on your ass until I can solve the murders of Mickey Campanella, Earl Brantley and others.
14:10You're gonna hear from my lawyer.
14:16Lock it up, boys.
14:17All right, let's go, boys.
14:18All right, close it up.
14:19Come on.
14:20All right, we'll be back.
14:23We'll be back.
14:44Mom, you okay?
14:45Just taking it in.
14:50I want to make something like that one day.
14:53And that is why I want to join the Fine Arts Board.
14:56To help showcase Harlem artists, which someday could be you.
15:00What's wrong with keeping the work here?
15:03Art that's for us, by us.
15:07When did you grow up, Henri?
15:11Come on.
15:15Oh, you can feel her pain.
15:22Her voice silenced.
15:25These artists, which someday could be you, they 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.
15:53Yes, but he's got partnerships, bills, obligations.
15:57The early days of a business are, you know, 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?
16:05No.
16:07No.
16:11No, I guess it doesn't.
16:15Darling, when you get older, whatever it is you want to do, you 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.
16:40How'd they make me out like?
16:45They look a 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.
17:05They chose yours.
17:07Yeah.
17:09There'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've got to make a stop.
17:16They're harassing you because they don't have anything else.
17:20I have seen this time and time again.
17:21The law has it in for Italians.
17:28So what do we do about it?
17:31Well, not much can be done legally, but regarding the ADA, Mr. Pike, perhaps you have other methods of pushing back?
17:49You're gonna charge me for this advice?
17:54Thanks for seeing me.
17:55I'm always interested in how a cacklecky boy is making it into big city.
18:02I'm still breathing.
18:03For now.
18:04But that can change.
18:06No. The man just lost someone.
18:08That said, the next time I hope they'll try to kill you somewhere else.
18:13Yeah.
18:15Them Italians.
18:18You know just like how I know.
18:20They ain't good for black folk.
18:22You finally realize that?
18:23Look.
18:28I know I done made a lot of mistakes.
18:33Made a lot of...
18:35Wrong choices.
18:38But I'm gonna learn from them.
18:40Can't learn shit if you're dead.
18:42Or just a damn fool.
18:43Pettigrew.
18:44Pettigrew.
18:45Chance.
18:46Let's hit a boy out.
18:48So I figure.
18:50Since I done got sculled by the Italians.
18:54Hell, by you.
18:57Maybe I done learned enough to come work under you.
19:00You wanna work for me?
19:03Look, 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.
19:21You 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.
19:36Maybe, uh...
19:43Give me one more chance.
19:45Yeah.
19:47Think I can change your mind?
19:50I don't think you can.
19:52Good luck, Frank.
19:54You're gonna fuckin' need it.
19:56This man has humbled himself.
19:58That's one thing I can respect.
20:01Goodbye, Frank.
20:05Best of luck.
20:09Best of luck.
20:33Listen up, everyone!
20:36All right now, come on.
20:41I read in the paper that your old man's club had a hell of an opening.
20:45You go?
20:47I'm not for all that bougie shit.
20:50Right on.
20:53Where's the date?
20:54Meeting's about to start.
21:06Hmm.
21:07Your son?
21:09I feel like I don't even hardly know him.
21:13Right on his mom, she used to keep me away from him.
21:16She ain't like my influence.
21:19I'm too political.
21:21Hmm.
21:23How often did you get to see him?
21:24Shootin' me and Rod.
21:25We'd see each other on the sly.
21:29And taught him how to fix cars.
21:31That's what he doing in, um...
21:33Vehicle Maintenance.
21:35You must be so proud.
21:37Roddy?
21:38Hell yeah.
21:42But my boy...
21:44He like us.
21:46He'd rather be fighting for black folk here at home.
21:49He ain't got no quarrel with no vehicle.
21:51So 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.
22:16We should go.
22:22You know how if any gifts would be late.
22:26Mrs. Johnson,
22:28we 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 cosigner.
22:37We'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.
22:56It's a bank.
22:57Bumpy's up to his neck in debt.
22:59He could default any day now.
23:01We're very sorry, Mrs. Johnson.
23:02The answer's no.
23:05You've gotten millions of dollars from the government to revitalize Harlem.
23:10Have you not?
23:11Yes, that's true.
23:12What of it?
23:13Well, I am trying to revitalize artistic culture for the people in this community.
23:19A community that includes you.
23:22Think about that.
23:24We don't have to think about that.
23:26The answer's no.
23:36This is quite the collection, Mrs. Johnson.
23:38I reckon there's a story behind every stone.
23:42How much?
23:46This jewelry here your husband gave you?
23:48Yes, life ain't all, but it's in Glamour at the new club.
23:51Just tell me what it's worth.
23:53Respectfully, I can't take any of this.
23:55Well, this is Michelle Panez.
23:59Especially the Panez.
24:01I can't afford to pay you what any of this is worth.
24:04My customers show can't neither.
24:07Well, what do you recommend?
24:09Go on down to 44th Street.
24:11Rights, diamonds, and gems.
24:14They buy tons of this stuff.
24:16Rich white folk eat it up.
24:17Okay, then.
24:18All right.
24:21Anywhere yet?
24:22I'm trying to do me in.
24:23No.
24:25But where down the street is, there's 10 grand on your head.
24:26They came into my fucking home.
24:27What am I supposed to do?
24:30I think you should leave town.
24:32And go where?
24:33I don't know, but just don't stay here in Holland.
24:37They're telling me you can't do nothing for me.
24:39Look, I'll keep my ears.
24:41You're kidding me.
24:42You're telling me you can't do nothing for me?
24:44Look, I'll keep my ears, and I'll keep my ears.
24:47I didn't know, but say you're like the only one decision that's worth.
24:49I know.
24:51You're telling me you can't do nothing for me?
24:53I've been telling you for the last two years?
24:54You can't do nothing for me.
24:55Look, I'll keep my ear to the ground,
24:56but 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.
25:04Yeah, well, that 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,
25:10it almost doubled our profits.
25:12You're good at this, but when you decided to show off,
25:14you put a target on your back, and mine.
25:20Damn.
25:21It is what it is.
25:24My pops always says that when a man's showing off,
25:27he's masking his insecurity.
25:29Maybe you should think on that.
25:31Insecurity?
25:33I've been looking over my shoulder my whole life.
25:38You see, we've been two different worlds.
25:40I don't expect you to understand that.
25:42And when you come from nothing, sometimes you just want to know
25:45what it feels like to have something.
25:48Still, you need to get out of New York City.
25:53I don't do too much running or hiding.
25:56I know, but you're smart.
26:00Good luck, Frank.
26:02Well, I see it, a man in charge of his own luck.
26:06Good luck with that, too.
26:08I see it, a man in charge of his own luck.
26:11Good luck with that, too.
26:14Metz!
26:15Oh, thank the Lord.
26:16I found her wandering around over by the gas station.
26:18It's not a safe place for a kid all along.
26:19I was so worried when she didn't get off the bus.
26:21Thank you so much.
26:22Oh, don't thank me, ma'am.
26:23Thank Joe Colombo.
26:24Oh.
26:25Here's the strangest thing.
26:26This man came by.
26:27He said he found Elizabeth wandering over by the gas station.
26:30The gas station?
26:31I'm just so relieved she's safe.
26:32Apparently, we're to thank Joe Colombo.
26:34Apparently, we're to thank Joe Colombo.
26:36I'm so relieved she's safe.
26:38Apparently, we're to thank Joe Colombo.
26:39We're to thank Joe Colombo.
26:41I'm so worried when she didn't get off the bus.
26:44I'm so worried when she didn't get off the bus.
26:46Thank you so much.
26:47Oh, don't thank me, ma'am.
26:49I'm 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.
27:19Put your arm into it, honey.
27:25Hey, baby.
27:27Long day, huh?
27:29You could say that and...
27:37Margaret.
27:39Something you want to share?
27:40No, darling, everything's fine.
27:42Margaret, why don't you keep on mashing those potatoes for me?
27:44Mama needs a ton of money to join the art board.
27:46Margaret!
27:47How come you didn't just ask me?
27:49You have enough on your plate, Ellsworth.
27:51How much we talking?
27:55A hundred grand.
27:56That's more than our mortgage.
27:58I could damn near buy Lennox Terrace for that.
28:00So what'd it cost, Daddy?
28:02Keep mashing.
28:03Those white so-and-so should be begging to have you on that board.
28:08They're trying to extort you out of my hard-earned money.
28:11All charitable boards require a financial commitment.
28:15That's why I didn't bother you with it.
28:17You or your hard-earned money.
28:20Mama, I think the chicken...
28:21I didn't mean it like that.
28:22So how did you mean it?
28:23Those ladies are a bunch of pretentious downtown socialites
28:27with vapid causes.
28:28You have spent months courting white downtown swells.
28:32And me joining an arts board to promote black art is vapid.
28:37I support what you're doing.
28:39Mama, I think that...
28:40Why do you want to spend a fortune buying a seat at a table
28:42that 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.
28:51Mama, I...
28:52My money's all tied up in knots right now.
28:54I just need a minute.
28:56I am well aware of your obligations, Ellsworth,
28:58which is why, again, I didn't bother you with this.
29:00Mama, the chicken is burning.
29:01Oh!
29:02Oh, God.
29:07Oh, God.
29:12Just...
29:13Forget about it.
29:18I'm gonna go talk to your mother.
29:20Some of you.
29:21I'll go talk to your mother.
29:22You want to be the other person?
29:23You want to be the other person?
29:24What?
29:26I'll go we'll talk to your mother...
29:28Yeah.
29:29Well, I'll talk to your mother.
29:30You could...
29:31I've been here to the other person.
29:32I'll talk to your mother.
29:33I'll talk to your mother.
29:34I wasn't really there for him when he was coming up, so.
29:39Sadiq, your son is across the world fighting a war.
29:43And you're fighting a war here at home.
29:46If this letter is the only thing you get to say, what do you want to say?
29:53Son.
29:57I'm so damn proud of you.
30:02What else?
30:02Look, then say something like, damn, I don't know.
30:10I ain't never been good at, like, expressing stuff.
30:17Do you want to say, I wish we could have spent more time together?
30:21Yeah.
30:22Yeah.
30:22Can you say that?
30:25I wish we could have spent more time.
30:29Okay.
30:42So, what's next?
30:44Maybe something like, I never told you all the things I should have when you were little about how I feel.
30:56Yeah.
31:01You all right, though?
31:02Mm-hmm.
31:07And when you come home, I'll tell you.
31:12It's beautiful, Elise.
31:26That's exactly what I want to say.
31:28I don't know if you know much about these, but, uh, this here real nice.
31:52It's worth at least $1,000.
31:55Hmm.
31:57We, it is a beauty.
32:01More now than I told you.
32:03It's real nice.
32:04Uh, still, I can't give you much for it.
32:07You know, I mean, ain't no buyers for shit like this around here.
32:11All right, well, look, I don't need much.
32:16I just need enough to get a bus ticket on home, getting the hell out of here.
32:19Oh, yeah?
32:21You hightailing it?
32:23Why?
32:24That ain't too much your business, is it?
32:25Yeah.
32:26Not much for the damn coat, no?
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, you won't believe this, but Bumpet Johnson's wife, Mamie, was in my shop today, trying to pawn her valuable jewelry.
32:46I'd have sent her way downtown.
32:49Huh.
32:50Why are you telling me this?
32:54You say downtown?
32:56Mm-hmm.
32:57Where?
32:59Nah, I can't tell you that.
33:01Why not?
33:02That's privileged information.
33:03I mean, my transactions are held in strict confidence.
33:08How much for the damn address?
33:11Yeah, oh.
33:13My wife, she tells me I'm a terrible businessman, and she's right, you see.
33:18Now, look.
33:19Yeah.
33:21Either we can come to an agreement about this here address, or I can go about getting it a whole different way.
33:27I'm going to leave that up to you.
33:30Yeah, you know.
33:31This code would do nicely.
33:43Anyway, after we drop the kid off, we get a civics lesson on the radio.
33:47It's the blacks on some program talking 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, and then we're punished every time we find a workaround.
33:59What the hell is that?
34:01The fucking cops?
34:02Hey, hey, listen.
34:03Don't react.
34:05You hear me?
34:06Stay calm.
34:07Oh!
34:07Oh!
34:20What the fuck?
34:23Good morning, gentlemen.
34:25How you doing?
34:27What seems to be the problem, officer?
34:29You got a broken taillight.
34:31A broken taillight?
34:34Really?
34:37Yeah, all right.
34:37Thanks for the heads up.
34:45You got a headlight out, too.
34:48Just step out of the car.
34:49So, what's the matter?
35:03You boys short on fucking money for lunch or something?
35:07That's a message from Pike.
35:09Stay the fuck away from his family.
35:11Yeah, all right.
35:11Hey, I got a message for you to take back to the ADA.
35:15Tell Jonathan Pike to suck my fat fucking...
35:18All right, that's enough.
35:35You have a nice day.
35:36The next order of business, approvals for new members.
35:56Mimi, we've had some...
35:59Developments?
36:01Yes.
36:02In the processing of your application.
36:05Which may complicate moving forward with you on our board.
36:10Oh, 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.
36:23Oh, 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.
36:44I 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.
37:04My 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?
37:19Aren't we women with our own reputations and ambitions?
37:23That we are.
37:24Which is why there's an easy way around this.
37:29Mamie, we'll list you in our role as Miss Mamie Hatcher.
37:34But 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.
37:53Joe, Minnie, two McAllens.
38:06I don't get it.
38:21You know, you got gambling, you got girls, who knows what else.
38:25And cops, they give you a pass.
38:26So I get pinched.
38:28And you sit here untouched?
38:30I'll pay for my piece.
38:33And some of that goes to you.
38:34I mean, look, good for you.
38:38As a black man, your success...
38:41Me, I'm over here, I gotta sweat fucking parking tickets.
38:44What do your problems have to do with my success?
38:47I'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.
38:55Yeah.
38:55You think my people get everything that they want?
38:58Why? All right.
38:59Maybe not every little thing, but a lot of things.
39:01How 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.
39:08A lot.
39:10You want to complain?
39:12Come march the fuck on Washington.
39:16Come on, Ben.
39:20Hey, you know what?
39:23You got a point, Johnson.
39:24I'll give you that.
39:25You're fucking idiots.
39:29I guess you can take the day off, huh?
39:56Yeah.
39:57I'll give you that.
40:27We got a call about your alarm system.
40:29Some kind of problem, but sure would like to check it out.
40:34Okay.
40:35Yeah, follow me.
40:43Well, this is it over here, but I'm surprised
40:46because we really haven't had any issues with...
40:49Open it up.
40:51Go on now, you're deaf.
40:52I told you I'd 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
41:06and put it in that bag.
41:09Hey, don't be no hero.
41:22Put your fucking hands down.
41:28Okay, okay.
41:28Act natural.
41:31This being is a use.
41:38Stop, Steve!
41:39That bag.
41:56I 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
42:06to help the doctor.
42:07What do you need me to do?
42:09Pressure right here.
42:11Right here?
42:11Yeah.
42:12Oh.
42:21He's lost a lot of blood, but he'll be all right.
42:25Pressure here.
42:25You still want my protection?
42:39Hell, I could so use it.
42:55Why'd you do it?
42:58Steal my wife's jewelry back.
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 that 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.
43:56Babe.
43:58What's wrong?
43:59I've done a terrible thing.
44:09What?
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'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.
45:13Even if you don't like how I'm fighting,
45:15can 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?
45:38I'll tell you, their courage...
45:40What the fuck is he doing?
45:42Their determination has inspired us.
45:45Good.
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
46:31as of his family.
46:32I miss you, Daddy.
46:38And I hope one day
46:39we can fight together.
46:42And now, as Italian-Americans,
46:56we too
46:57must fight
46:58for our rights
47:00and our dignity.
47:01Yes, sir.
47:02There 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.
47:27Well, 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.
47:38Let's go, Carl.
48:03Nana was in the living room.

48:09They ended up in the prison.
