I would say okay,

but now you're scaring me.

That's one thing I don't need you

to do, is worry about me.

I'll be okay.

You may not see me for a little while,

but you can always

pick up the phone and call.

Wait, what. Jason, I don't understand

what you're saying.

It's just something I have to do.

Something for me.

I'll explain it to you another time.

- I don't...

- No, just trust me on this.

It will all make sense

in the end, I promise.

Okay?

Okay.

[Janet sighs]

[Janet] God, please,

I already lost one brother.

[cell phone chimes, buzzes]

[r&b song playing]

Happy birthday!

[indistinct chatter]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[doorbell rings]

- [Deuces] Hey, you.

- [Janet] Hey.

[Deuces] Come on in.

[Janet] Sorry, I'm not interrupting

anything, am I?

'Course not. Mi casa es Su casa.

- Come on in.

- I was in the neighborhood,

so I got you some breakfast.

Figured you'd be hungry.

Your intuition is spot on.

I'm gonna teach you how to cook.

Good luck with that.

You know what, why don't you

grab some plates and we, uh...

can get our grub on right in here.

You know, J, I wanted to tell you that...

you make me see life from

a different point of view.

And, uh, I really appreciate

our friendship.

[Janet] Oh. Me too.

Yeah, you know, I never thought I could

actually be friends with just,

you know, a friend that you actually like.

But I guess it's important to, uh,

have friends that don't

expect anything out of you.

Well, I'm glad you weren't

expecting anything from me.

- Hi.

- Hi.

[r&b song playing]

Okay.

All right.

What have we got in here?

Nice of you to join us, Miss Foster.

Don't be clocking me.

- I got this.

- Oh! Clocking you, huh?

Yeah, clocking me.

You need to get it together, girl.

Stop bitchin', I got this.

I'm almost done with

the scout reports, so just

let me get back to it, boss.

That was due this morning,

seriously though.

Oh, my God. Are you serious?

Hmm. Oh, my God is right.

Now I can't even find it.

That's why I finished it for you.

[sighs]

- What would I do without you, Tanya?

- Mm-hmm.

[Tanya chuckles]

[Tanya exclaims]

Yeah, Mr. GQ got your mind boggled.

[r&b song playing]

[Papers] Nigga's making me money.

Nigga... crazy.

It was so easy too, I just...

So, I get up on my seat,

you know, to see what the f***'s going on.

- You know this nigga was mad.

- Stop lying.

- I was Gucci.

- [women laughing]

Face, was he mad or not?

- He was chilling, bro.

- Oh, you a sucka.

- He was chilling, bro.

- You would take his side.

Listen, anyway, doesn't matter.

So, you know, I'm excited,

you know what I'm saying.

- I'm finally in the game...

- Tell the truth. You were selling candy.

Real candy.

- Skittles, Almond Joys.

- [Papers] Yeah.

Yeah, it was making me money.

F*** you, all right, anyway, right?

So, you know, I walk over

like, "Yo, is y'all niggas cool?"

'Cause you know me, it's nothing to worry,

both big bongs come out,

and I handle mine, right?

I look at Deuces.

Deuces looks at me.

Next thing you know, I see the nigga

winching. What?

So, then I lay the nigga the f*** out,

you know what I'm sayin',

before he got to his piece.

And then, you know, next thing you know

I'm macking this b*tch. I'm not bragging.

This is not bragging.

Listen, I'm not with her no more, okay?

Hey, Guns.

Holla at you, homie. Cool?

Yeah. He's good.

Hey, you hear anything

on that situation with Bee?

Bee?

No.

[man] Your homie said that the last time

they'd seen him, he was comin' for you.

He ain't get with us.

Well, f*** that. I'm ready to work.

You said when a position opened up,

that you would look out for me, what's up?

What else I say?

You said the homies would

get at me when the time was right.

Guess that settles that.

I'm busy, brah.

Got it.

Hey, you good?

What the f*** he want, man?

What do you think?

I mean, he's saying things like, crazy,

talking about that sh*t?

We good.

All right.

Go back and have drink

with your people, man.

All right, all right, b*tches.

[Papers] So let me get this straight,

y'all are roommates?

[indistinct chatter]

[bluesy song playing]

Hey.

I'll tell you that's my sh*t.

Glad somebody finally played it.

Yeah, I like them old joints better.

Dream as if you'll live forever.

Live as if you'll die tomorrow.

True. True.

But I intend to keep living.

Chase that dream.

They played this song

in a movie. Uh, Shaft.

Jackie Brown.

Oh yeah, you're right.

[Jason] City of God.

When Z killed Benny in the club.

Checkmate.

[Jason chuckles]

Y'all stay up.

Hey.

What's up with dude?

Who, Reese? Hustling.

Trying to get it like everybody else.

Doesn't never really stay.

And he good. Got people to check him up.

Stays about in slums, something like that.

Find out for sure.

Say no more.

[indistinct chatter]

[Papers] Hey.

I just copped us some good seats

for that Mayweather fight.

While I was on the strip,

I just had to get those.

- Good man, yeah.

- Yeah.

Girl for a nice little vaca?

Hey, man, the PJ is ready when you are.

Man, a G5, spit the fuel, we can do it.

- I know I got it.

- You got it?

- We good. Don't worry about that.

- All right.

Yeah.

Let me ask you something, brah.

Yeah?

Where do you see yourself

in the next five years?

Really?

I just told you we're going to the fight.

We're going to Vegas.

Are you giving me a survey?

No, man, for real.

I mean, you think...

honestly think we're gonna

do this for rest of our lives?

Can't really think about not doing

something I've been doing my whole life.

Look, man, I'm on some other sh*t.

I'm about to buy me a building.

You already got a building,

what are you talking about?

Buying a restaurant is cool,

but I'm talking about some

big boy stuff, you know, like,

building downtown. Commercial.

Yeah, I don't know much about that, but...

what I do know is that, uh...

I ran into Santiago yesterday

and he was asking about you.

You ran into Santiago?

He didn't find you?

I ran into him while I was in Vegas

at the back of Red Tape.

So what?

I'm settled up with him,

I don't owe him sh*t.

No, he was just saying that, you know,

he had this thing coming up,

it was big.

And he was looking for a partner.

[camera clicks]

[beeps]

[engine revving]

[Papers clears throat]

So that's me, I'm the partner?

Pape, I kinda like

the way things are, man.

- I'm my own boss.

- He has an opportunity

to score huge load coming

across the border.

That could bring in

at least 20 million dollars.

Bro, that's a 100 percent markup

than what we've been doing right now.

So, what's this play?

All right, he needs five million in cash

to make it real.

Now, he has 2.5, but he's looking

for a partner to bring in the other half.

Now, I got 500 stacks

I can put in myself, OG, all right?

Sh*t, this is the type of score

that we've been waiting on our whole life.

Right?

I mean, he's inviting us to the table.
