00:00Kids, they want to keep me in shackles.
00:02To them, Harlem is a cotton field, and I'm the house nigga.
00:05How you doing? Joe Colombo.
00:07Hey, you can make up your debt to the families by working with me.
00:11Otherwise, families need to be paid in full by Friday.
00:16Omar, you betrayed me.
00:18You betrayed this woman.
00:20And you betrayed Islam.
00:22I lost the woman I love, the mosque I loved,
00:25and the brother I grew up with in this faith.
00:27I just want your forgiveness.
00:30Before I die.
00:31As much as I want to, I can't spill a black man's blood.
00:35Let our lives decide his fate.
00:38With Chin up in Lewisburg, everything's gone to shit.
00:40They fucking got him popping his own associate.
00:43You have helped throw the five families into total disarray.
00:47I hope they all kill each other.
00:49She fucking right.
00:50She put her own father away, Tommy.
00:52This is your husband Chin's fucking problem.
00:54Why isn't he taking care of it?
00:56You don't think that he knows she should go?
01:00The reverend was just telling me that he got government funding for Harlem.
01:07The Negro Bank is going to receive a huge influx of cash.
01:11It's greedy.
01:13Hands up!
01:17Here's the money.
01:19Harlem?
01:19It's mine.
01:20We don't feel that in 1964 that we should have to sit around and wait for some degree of civil rights.
01:33No, we want it now, or we don't think anybody should care.
01:36How goes it, kid?
01:49It's all good.
01:50Yeah?
01:50Yeah.
01:51All right.
01:53How my men don't behave it?
01:55Well, they scared the mailman a few times.
01:57The neighbors were upset until they realized they now live on the safest block in Queens.
02:06Good.
02:07Good.
02:08Yeah.
02:09My neighbors are almost as grateful as I am.
02:12You know, I won't be able to protect you if you go on this foolish trip to Africa, right?
02:18The only reason I'm going is because I know your men will be here to protect my family.
02:23They will.
02:24You got my word.
02:25And I'm going to want to take Elise with me.
02:28As my secretary.
02:29If she can join me after my trip to Mecca.
02:32Elise.
02:33Can't allow that.
02:34She needs to be here.
02:36Look after Margaret.
02:36I'm sure Mamie can handle things for a week or two.
02:38This is an incredible opportunity.
02:43She has so much potential, Bumpy.
02:46In many ways, she's just like you.
02:49That a compliment?
02:53My friend, the decision should be hers, don't you think?
03:00The reason for this trip is not foolish.
03:03It's to seek alliances with the African leaders.
03:05I need their help if we're going to win our fight for freedom here at home.
03:10It's a good idea.
03:13Maybe they can lend me a couple of men to fight off the Italians.
03:15What do you think?
03:18I've come to realize that you and I believe we can solve all our problems by ourselves.
03:27We can.
03:27Thanks for everything, Mrs. Allen.
03:39See you Sunday.
03:48Excuse me, Mrs. Johnson.
03:50My boss would be honored with just a few minutes of your time.
03:53And who are you?
03:55Who's your boss?
03:55Don't worry.
03:57I assure you are in no danger.
03:59Like a lamb doesn't keep well in the heat.
04:02It should really be going.
04:03We could give you a lift.
04:04We live right over at Lennox Terrace, right?
04:07It's no trouble at all.
04:16Mrs. Johnson.
04:18I'm Joe Colombo.
04:19It's my pleasure to meet you.
04:20Come on.
04:21Open up my window again.
04:47Open up my window again.
04:49I can't end up calling my name.
04:52I can't end up calling again.
04:55I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
04:58I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
05:00I keep a revolver with your name.
05:03I keep a revolver with your name.
05:05Just in case.
05:07Lay on my back watching the ceiling fan.
05:10I had a dream to touch a kilogram.
05:13Still at odds with the Irish mob.
05:15Rose race down Malcolm X Boulevard.
05:18Lord, these d*** really out here praying on me.
05:20Got the 40 on me and the stand on me.
05:23Snow white mink like them Dutch shorts.
05:25Run the books and let me show you how the numbers look.
05:28You can't be lucky like you Luciano.
05:31The kilos coming like they do pianos.
05:33The fat boy got the big body.
05:37Coast to coast, I can shoot product.
05:40Open up my window again.
05:42Open up my window again.
05:45I can end up calling my name.
05:48I can end up calling again.
05:50I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
05:53I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
05:56I keep a revolver with your name.
05:58I keep a revolver with your name.
06:00Just in case.
06:03Well, I'm a king, man.
06:06How's that butcher?
06:08I think I got the best out round in Harlem.
06:10Would you like a drink?
06:12My husband is going to have something to say about you picking me up in raw daylight.
06:16That's what I want to talk to you about.
06:18Your husband.
06:20Ain't a secret.
06:21He confides in you.
06:22I hear you're, uh, as we Sicilians say, his consigliere.
06:28Hardly.
06:30I figured you could help him see the value of the deal I'm offering.
06:35I don't have that kind of influence.
06:38My car parts business made $12 million last year.
06:41I offered your husband a piece.
06:44A real piece.
06:47In return for sharing the profits of Nargobanix in Harlem.
06:52I got judges.
06:54I got cops.
06:57I can keep your husband out of jail.
06:59I'll have that drink.
07:08Whiskey meat, okay?
07:17Just talk to him.
07:19Tell him I want friendship.
07:22I'm not any kind of violence.
07:24Salud.
07:29He's dead!
07:33Ellsworth.
07:34My nerves are shot enough as it is.
07:38The man is off the hinges, no question, but he didn't hurt me.
07:40I don't give a fuck if he invited you to tea.
07:43You are off limits.
07:46You're one to talk about limits.
07:49You hit a gun under Margaret's piano?
07:53It ain't loaded.
07:54But it will be.
07:55You know, maybe you and this Columbo are more similar than you think.
08:00A man bold enough to yank Bumpy Johnson's wife off the street isn't so different than
08:05one who's willing to rob his own people to pay off a debt to a white man.
08:11Yeah, I know what you did.
08:13Do you think I'm stupid?
08:15The bank won't miss a beat.
08:18It's the government's money to begin with.
08:20They'll pay it back.
08:22They owe us anyway.
08:24Just call it reparations.
08:25You robbed a federal institution, plain and simple.
08:29You are sliding down a rap sheet to hell.
08:33At least this Columbo guy said he'd eat enough pool to get you out of prison.
08:35And you believe that motherfucker?
08:37Of course he said that.
08:38He would say anything to put me in his pocket.
08:40I don't want you in anyone's pocket.
08:42Hell, if I could put you behind a desk, I would.
08:44It would certainly reflect better on me and my ambitions.
08:46What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
08:50Just think about it.
08:52That is all I'm asking you.
08:56You better cool down before you go anywhere.
08:58The muddled whisper of one's soul may finally be heard clearly in the Holy Land.
09:11And so I've been told.
09:14I'm sure Allah will speak wonders to you while on the high.
09:17What a privilege to be going.
09:20Does the idea of traveling interest you, sister?
09:24I could pick up three languages just riding the A train.
09:26I've never even been to Brooklyn.
09:27I would love for you to come with me to Africa after my trip to Mecca.
09:33I'll need an executive assistant to coordinate my affairs.
09:37Travel to Africa with you?
09:39Who better than you?
09:41We'll have to get you a passport.
09:43You, me, and Betty in Africa?
09:47Betty will be staying home.
09:49Is everything okay?
09:50Does she approve of this?
09:52It was actually her idea.
09:53Maybe she knows you'll keep a close eye on me.
10:01Margaret and I just started geography.
10:04She's doing really well.
10:06I've been homeschooling her.
10:07What better way of teaching Margaret than visiting the places you've been showing her on a map?
10:21That fucking what?
10:22You gotta be fucking kidding me.
10:24Is this what you motherfuckers are now?
10:26Snatching wires off the goddamn sidewalk?
10:27Bumpy, we don't get women and children involved with our fucking business.
10:31That's part of our...
10:32Get the fuck away.
10:33Everybody, get the fuck out of everybody.
10:34I'm showing the commission the respect to tell you in advance that I'm going to kill this motherfucker.
10:40Stop.
10:41Nobody's going to kill a fucking boss.
10:43Come on.
10:44Sit down.
10:45Do you really think we need a fucking war right now?
10:49We got this scumbag heeb fucking Morgenthau with all his little toy soldiers up our ass.
10:54Do we need this now?
10:55Till you get Columbo in line, I'm going to assume that the gloves are off when it comes to you guineas.
11:00Stop it.
11:01I'm on your side.
11:02What Columbo did with your wife is a fucking disgrace.
11:06But as wrong as it was, he never laid a hand on your wife, Bumpy.
11:12Tommy.
11:12Tommy, we've known each other for decades.
11:16Would you allow a man to take your wife on a ride against her will?
11:23Bumpy, I promise you, I will put the fucking hammer down on Columbo.
11:28That's not good enough.
11:31Hey, I'll tell you what.
11:32Seven o'clock, you be here Friday night.
11:35You, me, and the family heads right here.
11:38We'll straighten this whole Harlem thing out.
11:39That's better.
11:40But if he takes the gloves off, you've all taken the gloves off.
11:45And I will fight you bare knuckle like a motherfucker.
11:47Malcolm invited you to Africa?
12:04I'd be his assistant.
12:05Can't believe you trust me that much, like a confidant.
12:08Oh, it's an incredible opportunity.
12:10But was Betty okay with it?
12:13That was her idea, then I'd go with Malcolm.
12:14Pack your bags.
12:16You two and Margaret got to go to your mother's in South Carolina.
12:18What are you talking about?
12:19South Carolina.
12:20I got a feeling that me and the Italians, we're about to go to war.
12:23What happened to Columbo's offer?
12:25He's a loose cannon.
12:25God knows what he'll do next.
12:27It took weeks for Margaret to get over the ride.
12:28She just started sleeping through the night.
12:30We are not leaving, Ellsworth.
12:31There is too much on my plate.
12:33A man just yanked you up the goddamn street, and you're worried about playing Powell's secretary.
12:37Reverend Powell and this community are counting on me.
12:39I am staying put.
12:43Look, it's not a request, right?
12:47Last time we went down South, I barely slept.
12:50Margaret either.
12:51The nightmares we had.
12:55And now, now with a war, one you could easily avoid.
12:59Hey.
13:00Elise, why don't you take Margaret down South to Mamie's mother's, at least until things
13:05cool off a bit, okay?
13:06Malcolm has invited Elise to join him on his trip to Africa.
13:09Yeah, he told me.
13:11But that ain't gonna fly right now.
13:20How much manpower we got?
13:2155 of our own, if you're including the warehouse guys.
13:24Gangs?
13:24We got the Comanches and the East Side Boys in our pockets, plus the 12 of our best on
13:31Malcolm X's detail.
13:33That's where they're gonna stay.
13:34Ugh.
13:36Who about these other gangs?
13:37Since we couldn't deliver on the Dugee, they've been bucking us.
13:39We're getting blowback.
13:40From the Reapers, the Savage Skulls, and the Gulliemen.
13:43And Columbo's gonna promise them a direct line to the Dugee when it gets in from Marseille.
13:49If he gets to them, we're fucked.
13:53Get the leaders down here.
13:55Kingston, Bone, and Gerald from the Skulls.
13:58I want to meet with them.
13:59What are they gonna do?
14:00You say they're bucking us because of the Dugee, right?
14:02Yeah.
14:04I'm gonna give them what they want.
14:05Hey, I knew your father.
14:14Oh, yeah.
14:16The old man used to talk about how you two were friends.
14:19Friends?
14:20He was never my fucking friend.
14:21He was a piece of shit.
14:23He never followed fucking orders.
14:25He was loyal, and you know it.
14:28Didn't deserve to die the way he did.
14:30In a car?
14:30With his pants around his fucking ankles?
14:33His gumadi's head in his lap?
14:34Too good of a debt to ask me.
14:37Tell that to my mother, who grieves to this day.
14:39Your mother's gonna have something else to grieve for if you're not fucking careful.
14:43See, your father, he thought he knew more than the fucking bosses.
14:48I'm starting to see the apple don't fall far from the fucking tree.
14:51I'm a boss, not myself.
14:53Don't forget.
14:53What the fuck were you doing with Bumpy's wife?
14:56You trying to start a war with these niggas?
14:58I'm trying to prevent one.
15:00Stay the fuck away from Bumpy and his wife.
15:03Otherwise, you can end up like your father.
15:05Kabish?
15:05Here I am.
15:06Trying to bring you Harlem.
15:08All you do is criticize.
15:10Colombo, I speak for all the bosses.
15:13Okay?
15:16Just so you know, it was a friendly conversation between me and Mrs. Johnson.
15:21Did you not fucking hear me?
15:23Don't worry.
15:23I get the point.
15:27Enjoy your lunch, Tom.
15:28Just so you know, nothing like my father.
15:40Well, you got us down here, Bumpy.
15:42You'll see.
15:44Why are we here, man?
15:46Take a look.
15:47We had a deal with the Rizzuto family of Montreal for 300 keys.
15:50This should make up for the mishap with the Ducie.
15:55Bumpy, you came through.
15:56One more thing.
15:57Before I front you as much as you want.
16:03Kaysa, I heard we have a problem.
16:06Colombo promises a piece of his next shipment.
16:09Wholesale.
16:10That was before you came through.
16:13So we're good.
16:14Long as this shit's proper.
16:19Yeah.
16:21It's proper.
16:27This is your Ducie.
16:28Shit.
16:29What the fuck?
16:29Go back to your man.
16:47You're either with me,
16:49or you're dead.
16:50Go back to your man.
16:50You're either with me,
16:52or you're dead.
16:54Go back to your man.
16:58Oh, that looks good.
17:05Looks like he got some sleep.
17:07The fuck did you get this?
17:09Some hot shop painted down the village
17:11old Chin a couple of thousand,
17:12so he gave me this instead.
17:14You think it was worth it?
17:15No.
17:16He paid up after I broke his nose,
17:17but he took the picture anyway.
17:19Gentlemen, my time is limited.
17:20These Jew lawyers,
17:21they get paid by the hour, you know?
17:23All lawyers do.
17:25Yeah, all right.
17:26Give us a minute.
17:28Shut the door.
17:35Did you give Mr. Giganti my message?
17:40Yes.
17:41Chin understands your problem
17:42with the other bosses
17:43and your desire to secure Harlem.
17:46So he knows that my interests
17:49and his are the same?
17:50He indicated as such.
17:53But...
17:54But what?
17:56If he wants me to secure Harlem
17:58and Bumpy Johnson,
18:00I'm gonna need his influence
18:01over the other bosses.
18:02They know Harlem's a fucking goldmine.
18:04Mr. Colombo,
18:05my understanding is that Mr. Giganti
18:07would be willing to give you his support
18:09under one condition.
18:12What's that?
18:13That you protect his daughter.
18:19His daughter?
18:20Why the fuck would she need protection?
18:27We are aware
18:28that there is a threat to her life
18:30from one of the other families.
18:33Why?
18:34That's irrelevant.
18:35She's gone missing.
18:36You find her,
18:37keep her safe,
18:38Chin will do what you ask.
18:43Any idea where she is?
18:45That's your job, Mr. Colombo.
18:47But the last person who saw her
18:49was Chin's wife, Olympia.
18:51I thought it would take years
18:57to get used to living in Philly,
18:59but it ain't that much different than Harlem.
19:01How so?
19:02Riots.
19:03We got them.
19:04The cops beat up a woman
19:05not two blocks from here.
19:07Odessa Bradford.
19:09Folks started to protest,
19:10and before you know it,
19:11the city's on fire.
19:13That's terrible.
19:14And we got the Italian mob, too,
19:16but I'm sure you knew that.
19:18Yep.
19:20It's just like home.
19:21All the more reason
19:22why I need to get away
19:23as soon as possible.
19:25And go where?
19:26Paris.
19:27When I can scrounge up enough money.
19:29The city of light.
19:32But why so far away?
19:35Something horrible happened
19:36back in Harlem.
19:38I can never go home.
19:40I gathered that,
19:41but what is it?
19:44Please tell me, Stella,
19:45my imagination is gonna be
19:46a lot worse than whatever it is.
19:47What did you say?
19:50I killed a man.
19:53There was a hit out on me.
19:55It was self-defense.
19:57Your father did that?
20:00My stepmother.
20:03No shit.
20:05That's a nice family, huh?
20:07I thought Italians
20:08considered family sacred
20:10or some shit.
20:11Not mine.
20:13That's why I need to get
20:14as far away as possible.
20:15Stopped my life over.
20:18I understand.
20:19Although you know
20:20what they say.
20:22Wherever you go,
20:23you bring yourself
20:24and your past.
20:32Is Daddy in trouble again?
20:33Daddy's not going anywhere.
20:35He just wants to keep you safe
20:37while he takes care
20:37of some important business.
20:39Am I in trouble?
20:41Since when are you
20:42ever in trouble?
20:43Your Meemaw says
20:44you'll have your favorite
20:44biscuits and gravy
20:45waiting for us
20:46when we get there.
20:47And they're your favorite too.
20:48Right, Mom?
20:51I'm not going, sweetheart.
20:53Your Daddy really needs
20:55my help this time.
20:56But you'll have
20:56Elise with you.
20:58Yeah, and we'll keep
20:59studying the world's capitals.
21:00We'll work on Africa next.
21:01But I can help Daddy too.
21:02They're going to miss you
21:09terribly, Margaret.
21:11But we have to keep you safe.
21:12Who's going to keep you safe?
21:14I'll be fine.
21:18Please, Mom.
21:19Please come with us.
21:21Meemaw has an extra bedroom.
21:23God, our front said
21:40two Italian-looking motherfuckers
21:42just dumped them
21:43at the front gate.
21:44They fucking whacked
21:45Bone and Stokes.
21:46Make no mistake.
21:47We're on the edge of war.
21:50This, this is Columbo.
21:53Why?
21:54He's been talking to the gangs.
21:55Kingston said so himself.
21:57Probably found out
21:58what I did to Kingston,
21:58so he's making his own play
22:00to intimidate.
22:01Even if we could
22:02keep the gangs in line,
22:03we still wouldn't have a chance
22:04against all five families.
22:06We're losing our grip
22:07on Central Harlem.
22:11We gotta go outside.
22:18Set a meet
22:19with Jose Battle.
22:23Spanish Harlem?
22:24Jose Battle
22:25don't want nothing
22:25to do with us,
22:26especially after you
22:27had to knock off
22:28his boy Guapo.
22:29Besides,
22:29don't he work
22:30with the Guineas?
22:30We got a peace agreement.
22:32He probably pays
22:32the percentage
22:33to be left alone,
22:34but he's got men.
22:36He's got guns.
22:38He can help us
22:39change the balance of power.
22:41Boss,
22:42is it possible
22:42we'd be better off
22:43striking a deal
22:44with the Guineas?
22:45I mean,
22:46if Jose Battle did it,
22:47why can't we?
22:48Just set the fucking me.
22:53No.
22:55It cannot be true.
22:56I mean,
22:57who would want
22:58to hurt my Stella?
22:59You tell me.
23:00Your husband believes
23:01it was one
23:03of the other families.
23:04He doesn't know
23:05which one.
23:06For all we know,
23:07your life could be
23:08in danger too.
23:09Oh, my God.
23:10Are you sure?
23:11According to his lawyer.
23:13Oh, my God.
23:14I can't believe this.
23:17I mean,
23:17what is happening
23:18in this world
23:19when families
23:19are not even
23:20off-limits?
23:21No one respects
23:22the rules anymore.
23:23Oh, my God.
23:24But you do, right?
23:26Of course.
23:29No, that's good.
23:31Good.
23:32That's good.
23:33Good.
23:34I mean,
23:34this is why
23:35I turned the blind eye
23:36to my husband's business.
23:38You know,
23:38I never ask him
23:39any questions
23:40because I don't
23:41want to know
23:41for nothing.
23:44That's how it should be.
23:46Miss Giganti,
23:47do you have any idea
23:50where Stella could have went?
23:54Oh, my God.
23:55That is a good question.
23:56I mean,
23:57this kid,
23:58she has no friends.
24:01I love her to pieces,
24:03but she's like,
24:04she's so awkward
24:05around people,
24:06you know?
24:07Mm.
24:08Can I see a room?
24:14Can I see a room?
24:14Can I see a room?
24:16could I see a room?
24:16Oh, my God.
24:19I have to.
24:22I have a room.
24:22I have to.
24:28I have to.
24:33I have to.
24:35But I have to.
24:37We're going to live this morning.
24:37We'll be talking.
24:39We're going to meet.
24:40We're going to see a room.
24:41We're going to be talking to a room
24:43and just make some room
24:44and try to come.
24:44Who's Delia Green?
25:10You go ahead and take the point, alright?
25:14It's like I wasn't even in the room.
25:18Margaret's eyes made me steal her mother.
25:20I'm just a bonus.
25:22At what point does it switch over?
25:25Margaret's just trying to make sense of a world that keeps changing.
25:28You have to be patient.
25:30I wish I could forgive myself as freely as Allah forgave me.
25:34What would you do as a mother?
25:44When I sent the girls up to Boston, I cried the moment that bus rolled away.
25:52Then I went home and slept for hours.
25:56I finally had a moment of peace.
25:58Sometimes a little separation is necessary.
26:04I think you should go to Africa.
26:09Boston is four hours away.
26:12I came phone Margaret from Ghana.
26:15No.
26:16Ghana will be breathtaking.
26:18The lush green mountains.
26:21The flowing rivers.
26:24All the beautiful black faces and bright fabrics.
26:28I wish I was going.
26:32Why aren't you?
26:34I have enough to worry about here.
26:37And Malcolm needs to focus.
26:40You'll be a great blessing to us both.
26:44You'll be a great blessing to us both.
27:11No, man.
27:12It's hard.
27:13It's hard.
27:14It's hard.
27:15It's hard.
27:16Take care.
27:17It's hot.
27:18Jose.
27:19Thanks for giving me a meet.
27:24Long time.
27:27You remember my man, James Pettigrew?
27:31A gift.
27:36I've been told that it's a Cuban tradition to keep a horseshoe by the door.
27:41To ward off the devil.
27:42I see you got that covered already.
27:44I have many doors.
27:45And there are many devils.
27:46I can always use another one.
27:48Government issue M-16s.
27:49Looks like they come from the U.S. Army.
27:50It's hard to get.
27:51I'm impressed.
27:52You have a good eye.
27:53And I have friends in high places.
27:54Come.
27:55We go upstairs.
27:56We talk.
27:57Have coffee.
27:58You make good money.
27:59But the Italians get the better end of the deal.
28:00Why do you care so much about my business?
28:01I think we can help each other.
28:02The Italians got East Harlem.
28:03I got Central.
28:04You got Spanish Harlem.
28:05But they got their figures in everything.
28:06And all of our businesses that we built.
28:07I think we can help each other.
28:08The Italians got East Harlem.
28:09I got Central.
28:10You got Spanish Harlem.
28:11But they got their figures in everything in all of our businesses that we built.
28:30They leave me alone.
28:33That's worth a percentage.
28:35What if I offered you half my operations?
28:39operations you want to be partners with me equal partners that's something that
28:44the titans would never allow you ever wonder why because my skin is brown and
28:48yours is black and our blood is red just like this blood is gonna flow there's
28:54gonna be a war in all over narcotics but this is not my war maybe not now but
28:59trust me they're calling you for your men and your guns whether you like it or
29:04not the only war I'm interested in fighting is the one to take back my
29:07country Cuba I give my life to kill Castro I care nothing for heroin we're
29:12both fighting to take back our homelands mine is Harlem in Cuba we call somebody
29:19like you in our cell yeah the Cuban fighters would die kicking out the
29:23Spaniards right you're very knowledgeable and as those adults together we'll be
29:28so strong the Italians won't even dare start a war hopefully no blood will be
29:34spilt you'll be a hell of a loud richer it's a very tempting offer before I can
29:43accept I have to consult with my advisor
29:47Santeria is my religion in my faith it is customary to console the auditions
30:03before making any important decisions have a seat my friend she is asking the
30:12auditions for guidance regarding our union
30:18she's saying those three have landed with their mouths up representing Ogunda
30:35Ogunda we see as problems and resolving conflicts so this is positive I assume patience
30:42that's Ogunda Tertura we see that as negative police legal issues problems I've had plenty of those I need no reason to worry

33:40i want you to be safe for us because we have alamedics christian and how you are
33:59Stella Gigante, come with me.
34:04She ain't got to go nowhere with you.
34:07I'm afraid she does.
34:26Hey.
34:28I'm not turning down Malcolm's offer.
34:33I'm going with him to Africa.
34:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.
34:36You're not going anywhere but down south with Margaret.
34:38She's a big girl. She can take care of herself.
34:40Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I'm going.
34:43You and Malcolm have lost your damn minds.
34:46I can barely keep him alive in Queens.
34:48Now he wants to go speak to the kings of the world
34:50where anybody could be hiding in the bushes?
34:52I can't protect either of you in Africa.
34:54Africa, Harlem, Queens, South Carolina, anywhere I go,
34:58your shit could catch up to me.
35:00You have never kept me safe, Daddy.
35:04And you are not going to get in my way now pretending to.
35:07Hey, come back here.
35:19Do you know why I barely slept in Alcatraz?
35:24Because you were surrounded by men who were just like you?
35:26Because I didn't know what happened to you.
35:29I dreamt the worst.
35:32Raped.
35:33Beaten.
35:34Killed.
35:36Now I'm about to lose Harlem.
35:39And there's a war.
35:45I can't protect any of us.
35:48Don't you see?
35:50I see you, Daddy.
35:54All too clearly.
36:01It's okay if you hate me.
36:06As long as I keep you alive.
36:09It's just not fair.
36:10I know.
36:12I'm sorry.
36:15Please.
36:16I gotta do better for Margaret.
36:18She's both our second chance.
36:20I'm in a small town.
36:34Work gets around fast.
36:36You must know growing up in Cuba.
36:38Cuba's actually a very big island,
36:40but keeping secrets is difficult no matter where you live.
36:43Of course.
36:44No disrespect.
36:47I hear Bumpy Johnson paid you a visit.
36:50He did.
36:51No doubt to make you an offer.
36:53Am I wrong?
36:54A very generous one.
36:57What did you say?
37:00He seems to think of war as coming to Harlem over narcotics.
37:07Here's what you need to know.
37:09I gave Bumpy Johnson a square deal.
37:12He turned me down.
37:18He's right about something.
37:21There is gonna be a war if he doesn't make a deal.
37:23A war in Harlem is not good for business.
37:26It's one he can't win.
37:29Unless he tries to get someone like you
37:32and your guns
37:34and your men
37:35on his side.
37:41Relax.
37:43I told him no.
37:44No.
37:50It's gonna be a sit down.
37:53With Bumpy Johnson and the families tomorrow night.
37:56You should be there too.
37:58I'll talk to the families about cutting you a better deal.
38:02Huh?
38:04No.
38:07Fuck.
38:08You're Cubans.
38:10They make a great cigar.
38:15Pardon me.
38:25Madrina.
38:28I need a moment.
38:33Mamie said Meemaw's gets cold at night,
38:47so I washed all your warm socks and pajamas.
38:51You think it gets cold in Ghana?
38:54I imagine it's always sunny.
38:58Kings live there.
38:59In the capital, Accra.
39:04My friend Malcolm says that the great kings of Africa meet in Ghana to discuss how to unify their nations.
39:12You think if Harlem had a king, everybody get along?
39:15Well, that's what Malcolm wants to do.
39:17He wants to get the African kings advice so he can bring unity here.
39:21Malcolm sounds pretty smart.
39:23Smartest man I know.
39:26I can see why you'd want to go with him.
39:27I'd want to go too.
39:30I'd rather be with you than all the kings and queens of the world.
39:34We're going to have the best time at Meemaw's.
39:41Maps are cool.
39:43You can take them anywhere.
39:45But it's not the same as actually being there.
39:48When you're really there, the ground remembers your feet.
39:54So I want to walk on as many places as I can so that the whole world will know me.
39:59Ssh.
40:02Shhh.
40:33Stella Gigante, you haven't told me you were this beautiful.
40:41Joe Colombo, in front of your violets.
40:43What do you want from me?
40:44I want help.
40:46By kidnapping me?
40:48It's only kidnapping if you try to run away.
40:51Come on.
40:58So, until your father can assure you safety,
41:02you'll stay under my care.
41:05My father told you this?
41:07Through Feynman, his lawyer.
41:10What do you get out of it?
41:11Your father's goodwill.
41:13He's a very powerful man, your father.
41:14And you're happy to take advantage of his weakness while he's in jail?
41:17I want him to like me.
41:19And you too.
41:20Well, if you want that, you should let me go.
41:22I'd be a lot safer in Europe.
41:24Can't do that.
41:25Well, you need to stay in Harlem with me.
41:29Please, Joe.
41:32You don't understand my family.
41:34I think I do.
41:38We don't get to pick our parents, Stella.
41:40Well, my father was a violent man.
41:47A drunk.
41:49He never loved me.
41:52He even tried to rap me out to the cops for a crime he committed.
41:56Good guy.
41:58I'm still paying for his foolishness.
42:01But that's life.
42:02Why don't you tell my father you didn't find me?
42:07I can just leave the country.
42:09But I want him to know I found you.
42:12And that I'm keeping guards on you.
42:14Giving you a place to live.
42:15You mean keeping me prisoner.
42:17No.
42:19Keeping you safe.
42:21And treating you with respect.
42:26It's very important your father trusts me, Stella.
42:32So I'm going to need you to trust me, too.
42:47Somebody's favorite treat.
42:49With extra cherries and chocolate sauce.
42:52Is that a sundae or a fruit salad?
42:55I'd like to fit my suit in the morning.
42:57Thank you very much.
43:00Someone here wants ice cream soup.
43:02Need some help with that little one?
43:07You still full from lunch, Margaret?
43:11She's just making room for me, Mom's good cooking.
43:14We're all packed and ready for the bus.
43:16All that good southern food and green grass.
43:18You're hardly going to miss us.
43:19I am going to miss you.
43:21And Mamo.
43:24And Elise.
43:26I'm going with you, Margaret.
43:27She'll go to Africa with Malcolm.
43:28And go see all the African kings and queens.
43:33I told you, you are way more important to me than any of that.
43:35I'll be here when you get back.
43:37And you can tell me all their secrets.
43:39You'll be safe with Malcolm.
43:41I'll be safe with me, Mom.
43:42And Mom and Daddy won't have to worry about us.
43:45Don't worry less until you're safe in South Carolina.
43:48We Johnsons do best when we're together.
43:51But Johnsons are tough.
43:53Like you, Daddy.
43:55You said we're born with iron in our ankles and that nothing can knock us down.
43:58Yeah.
43:58I can take the bus by myself.
44:03Keep up with my schoolwork and make my own bed.
44:07And Elise can get on a plane and fly across the world.
44:17We're Johnsons.
44:19We can do anything.
44:22Yes, we can, sweetheart.
44:23We're pardoning me for getting in the way of Johnsons, doing Johnson things.
44:36Oh, no, there's three cherries in there.
44:39And, uh...
44:41Every time.
44:43I can't believe Margaret's leaving in the morning.
44:50She'll be a grown woman before we see her again.
44:53I hate it, too.
44:54But we gotta protect her.
44:56Shit's about to explode.
44:59And whose fault is that?
45:01What are you talking about?
45:03You could consider Columbo's offer.
45:06You could prevent an all-out war.
45:09A war that is set up for you to lose.
45:12My men are ready for what's to come.
45:16You are sending them on a suicide mission.
45:19Is that what you want?
45:21Are you ready to die, too?
45:22Of course not.
45:23The solution's been right in front of your face, and you keep on running from it.
45:26What solution is that?
45:28Partnership.
45:29You can't run Harlem alone, Ellsworth.
45:32You need an alliance.
45:35Someone else needs to be fighting these battles with you.
45:37I can't explain the way the fame could change as I float lane to lane.
45:56It ain't the same.
45:57Learn to embrace the pain or just remain the blame.
45:59Let's shock the world from countertops with dust.
46:01I still can smell the bus, ain't not as thorough.
46:03I can't explain the rush, but for this life, I lust.
46:06Damn.
46:07Niggas trying to stick me for my paper.
46:10Damn.
46:11Niggas trying to stick me for my paper.
46:13Damn.
46:14Crypt too big, I'll hardly see my neighbor.
46:16Damn.
46:17Niggas trying to stick me for my paper.
46:19Seashells tell you to be here.
46:37Well, well, well.
46:38He showed up.
46:39Of course he did.
46:39He isn't stupid.
46:42Bumpy, thank you for gracing us with your presence.
46:46Let's put all those unpleasantries behind us.
46:50Let's focus on our deal and the next shipment of narcotics from Marseille.
46:58Yeah.
46:59Hey, smart business, man, eh?
47:01This man tried to intimidate my wife.
47:04That can never happen again.
47:06Agreed, Joe?
47:09For that, you have my sincere apologies.
47:13Bumpy, let's talk terms.
47:15When the French dope comes in, myself and the rest of the families will charge Bumpy Johnson
47:2425% of his profits for the right to distribute in Harlem.
47:30Now, as a special favor for our friend Jose Battle, I would suggest the families kick him
47:36a percentage.
47:38Say 10%.
47:39Hold on, Colombo.
47:40Wait, wait just a second.
47:42Battle ain't in a dope.
47:43Times have changed, Carlo.
47:45We need to be more magnanimous.
47:48We need Jose Battle to keep the peace.
47:50We need Bumpy Johnson to sell our dope in Harlem.
47:53I think the terms are fair.
47:56Are we all in agreement?
47:59The Lucchese's agree.
48:01On behalf of the Bonanno family.
48:04Yes.
48:06Give me an OZS.
48:07I obviously speak for Chin while he's away, so yes.
48:14Bumpy, I think this is a very generous deal for all of us.
48:20What do you say?
48:21I appreciate you gentlemen sitting down toward me.
48:29I should say yes to this deal.
48:31It's fair.
48:34And if I say no, there'll be a war.
48:39They say a lion doesn't know that he's caged until he's let out.
48:42I got a taste of that on the last shipment when I was made an equal partner.
48:47I got a taste of freedom.
48:50Now I just can't go back into the cage.
48:53So to this deal,
48:55I respectfully say,
49:00go fuck yourselves.
49:02No.
49:04No.
49:32There was some speech in there.
49:38Your friends asked you to come out here and try to change my mind?
49:41I'd rather be friends within Alzado.
49:45What about the shells?
49:47Not always right. They told me to marry my two ex-wives.
49:54Alzado?
49:57Alzado.
50:02Lets go.
50:12..
50:17..
50:18You built Johnson tough, little one.
50:48You built Johnson tough, little one.
