Get your hands up!

Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!

I don't have any weapons on me, sir.

Move front! Move front!

Put your f***ing hands up!

Put your hands up! Get up, get up,

get up! Get your hands up!

Spread your f***ing legs!

Spread your legs and don't move!

Is anybody else in here?

Nah, son.

You don't got to be like this.

Oh, God!

I got too much to do.

Not like this. You got plans for me, God.

Mom said you got plans for me.

Mom said you got...

Mom said you got plans for me.

-James, wake up!

-Baby, what?

-Do you smell that?

-What, baby?

Smells like there's a fire

on the other side of the building, baby.

Baby, come on. Come to bed, all right?

We've been up all night.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Come on, just come to bed.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No, please.

Ma'am, it's the police. You all right?

Okay. Everybody needs to go back

to their buildings

and make sure their neighbors

and everybody is all right.

Please! Everybody go check if your

family and your neighbors are okay.

You two, come with me.

Is everybody all right in there?

Is everybody all right in there?

You all right?

Is everybody all right in there?

I'm stopping by

to see if everybody is okay!

Ms. Germaine! It's...

Ms. Germaine?

It's Fatima.

I'm just stopping by

to see if everybody is okay!

Ms. Germaine? Are you in here?

Ms. Germaine!

Ms. Germaine! Ms. Germaine!

Oh, my God!

Ms. Germaine!

Ms. Germaine! Are you okay?

Help! Ms. Germaine... Help!

I need help in here!

-What's up?

-They got CJ, dawg.

Wait.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Sh*t!

What happened?

-They stabbed CJ last night.

-What?

-ls he okay?

-Nah. He died, yo.

-Oh, God! I just saw him yesterday!

-Oh, sh*t!

I told him... I told him to go back inside

because it was going to get dangerous.

This is bullshit, son.

My God.

Man, son didn't even deserve

to go out like that, man!

He was going to school.

He was doing his thing.

Sh*t is f***ed up, yo.

I bet you this was somebody from

outside the neighborhood.

Ain't nobody that we know did this.

Why would somebody want to hurt him?

I don't f***ing understand this!

This doesn't make any sense!

Damn, son, lights go out

one motherfucking time,

niggas don't know how to act.

-One time!

-What the f*** are you all doing!

Why! Please tell me why

y'all are killing your f***ing own!

He was going to make something out

of his life! He represented you!

He was one of our finest products

and you shattered everything!

I need backup right now!

Why don't you go find out

who killed my man?

Stop harassing us!

Why don't you do your job, man?

Hitting the street isn't going

to do us any good, Claudine,

but make us hot and more pissed!

-Okay...

-Baby.

Look, why don't you just lie down

and take a nap.

And I'm sure, by the time you wake up,

the power will be back on

and everything will be all right.

What if it's not?

You know?

What if it doesn't come back on?

Like, what the f***

are we going to do, James?

How are we gonna eat?

There's no food in that fridge that's

gonna be good one more night.

This doesn't make any sense.

-Baby, where are you going?

-I'm going to go lay down.

Ms. Germaine! Ms. Germaine!

-Ms. Germaine! You all right?

-You all right?

-You all right?

-Ms. Germaine, you all right?

God, have mercy!

About time y'all got here.

I called y'all damn near 40 minutes ago!

What, y'all guys forgot

about us down here in the hood?

I'm going with her. I want to go with her.

Hey, yo,

what happened to Ms. Germaine?

She went the whole night without any

food or any insulin for her diabetes

-and passed out.

-What?

-She going to be all right?

-Yes, she's going to be all right, brother.

She's going to be just fine.

You know what I am saying?

Ain't nothing new under the sun.

They've done this to us before.

It all comes back around 360 degrees,

you know what I'm saying.

Now it's our turn

for our generation to sustain!

-Yo, Tech.

-Yes?

I need you to get the word out

in the neighborhood.

Sorry, Fa.

-No.

-Listen, I'm not the one for this.

I need people to know they got to take

pictures of all the food that went bad

in their home last night.

-The City is liable, yo!

-Fa, I'm out.

That sh*t is politics as usual.

That's what the f*** it is, man!

-That's some bullshit!

-You just figuring that out?

There ain't no money down here,

nobody got no money,

nobody making no money,

so why the f*** they gonna rush

down here to turn the lights back on?

-So it's about money?

-What the f*** do you think it is?

Could be some corporate tricks,

you know.

I wouldn't put nothing past them

Enron motherfuckers.

Wait, don't N-Ron live down the street?

-Cam, come on.

-Quit looking at me like that.

There's a dude named N-Ron

who lives up the block.

-He don't spell it the same.

-You're embarrassing me right now.

Come on, Rick,

take a walk with me, man.

I'm rolling with y'all.

Yo, this sh*t is

survival of the fittest, dawg.

-That's what I'm saying.

-It's crazy out here.

Keep going like they're going

down in Washington,

-this sh*t'll be like this every day.

-Sh*t looks like a war zone.

Hey, yo, man, word up.

I'm gonna go get some water

or something, man.

It's hotter than Tahiti

out in this motherf***er.

Damn!

Word up, I don't know about y'all,

but I'm starting to get real vexed.

They better turn this motherf***er on,

so I can have some access to my

f***ing money. I'm hungry as hell, yo!

This sh*t ain't even funny no more, man.

It never was.

-Any updates?

-Nope.

Just the same old broken promises.

You're having cereal with that milk?

What if it's spoiled, James?

It tastes fine to me.

It's a little warm,

but it's all right, I guess.

Nel, man,

I'm saying we need to hop in your whip

and get out this neighborhood

or something.

-Hell, no. You haven't been listening?

-Listening to what?

-All the gas stations closed.

-What?

Yeah. Let this sh*t last for two,

three more days

and all these cats you see out here

flossing on the strip

is gonna be assed out.

This some old Mad Max Beyond

Thunderdome in Brooklyn-style bullshit.

-I'm preserving my gas, man.

-It's not going to get that crazy, Nel.

We'll see.

Yeah, okay.

How old is this fool,

trying to call us out like this?

He ain't talking about nothing.

See, that's why I don't stay

on no corner, man.

They give me the wrong juice.

Let me come inside.

I'm sorry, sweetheart, I can't do that.

-All right.

-Let's do it. We do what we got to do.

Hey, yo, what's up?

Hey, yo, relax. Relax with that sh*t.

Calm the f*** down.

Relax with the sh*t, man,

I got it under control, baby. Relax.

Yo, yo, what's up? What's up, man?

What's up?

A salami and bacon, Osama.

What's the deal, man?

You still selling water by the gallons?

-No.

-No?

-Only small ones, a dollar.

-Small ones?

But you gonna have to wait

like everybody else.

-No, I ain't waiting, dawg, man.

-I understand.

I don't take orders

from motherfucking sand n*ggers,
