It's time for us to eat.

That, Pape, he's my plug.

Never considered being a partner with him.

What's the big deal?

Really, I mean, what is the big deal?

You over here talking about

skyscrapers and sh*t.

We do this deal right, you can buy

yourself the f***ing Staples Center.

I told you I got my money in real estate.

I'm going big with real estate.

Okay, all right, look.

All right. We can make it back quick.

I put these motherfuckers to work

we give him the paper,

we move this sh*t in a month.

Tops.

[exhales]

All right.

I'll put up with him but that's all.

- Set it up.

- You got it.

[r&b song playing]

[engine humming]

- [engine turns off]

- [song stops]

What's that? Caddie DeVille?

Six-speed chain transmission. Sh*t.

You already know.

Fastest bike on the street.

Yeah, I'm Reese, man.

Deuces.

Hey, you's a real estate?

Amongst other things, but yeah,

that's my go too.

Yeah.

I'm in the process of getting myself

some commercial property.

Been on that for a while.

Yeah, it's a good thing

you didn't couple of years ago.

The way the economy was crashing,

sh*t was all f***ed up.

Right.

What about now?

Now is a good time to go after it.

You know, the economy

is not as messed up plus

property value is so low,

niggas get to f*** with it.

But I got you. If you want me to, I can

put you on with some folks I f*** with.

Look, man, I ain't talking about

ain't no bullshit apartment.

I want the big boy stuff, you know.

Donald Trump sh*t, you feel me?

Deuces, let me holla at you

about that business?

I told you I'll get at you

when it's time, man.

When?

When the time is right. When I say so.

Right now ain't the f***ing time, man.

I'm not feeling that, homie.

As a matter of fact, what happened

with the li'l homie Bee, motherf***er?

Get the f*** out of here.

Get the f*** out of here.

Niggas don't listen.

Man, you didn't have to do all that, brah.

No, I'm trying to have

an intelligent conversation

and that motherf***er was begging for it.

"He was begging for it." Yeah, he was.

Hey look, uh, you got a minute to hang,

you know, chop it about that real estate?

- Yeah, man...

- Yeah.

Calm down, bro.

Cool. You cool?

I? No, you cool.

You see, you got some balls on you, boy.

Busted my f***ing knuckle.

I'm good, though.

All right.

Yeah, man, like I was saying,

I got no problem putting you on

with my people in real estate.

But you gotta put me on

to your situation.

I don't know what you're talking about.

[chuckles] Yeah, all right.

Where you from, man?

- Oakland.

- Oh.

Block would do 20 a week.

No, I'm good. I don't smoke.

Yeah, but them days are long gone.

I used to be able to cut class

and make five bands before lunch.

Mom tried to put me

in a Catholic school sh*t, but...

a simple life won't excite me.

You know what I don't get? [sighs]

I don't understand why

people want that street life.

Like somehow it's gonna

create opportunities.

I'm just like, "Wow."

Yeah, I mean, I'd have went crazy in

a professor's class,

man, at a desk for 30 years?

I mean, I'm sure you can relate.

Yeah, whatever that means.

- It teaches on, you know.

- Yeah.

Right now I'm just hustling my banker.

I'm sure we could find a way to work.

Any wire?

What the f*** you talking about?

You know who you're f***ing...

I ain't who you thinking you got me

f***ed up, it's not what you think.

How do you know what I'm thinking?

Hmm. You know what...

blow this motherf***er's head off.

Hey, come on, man. Think about this!

Bang.

I'm f***ing with you.

- [laughs]

- [Deuces chuckles]

You motherfuckers is crazy.

Oh, you have no idea.

[Face] This nigga was scared.

I had to know.

F***!

Come on, soldier.

Come on, man,

let's go get something to eat.

[cell phone chiming]

Yeah.

[man] Wake up, rookie.

Huh? Who this?

Two a.m. Umbrella factory.

Blue trash can.

[r&b song playing]

Hmm. Here we go.

Man, this is more serious than I thought.

I know we went on for a lot, but I went

from a ten second phone call

to having a bag full of dope.

Listen, the good news is you're in.

Yeah, but the guy's still hands off.

Now, I'm responsible for moving

a hundred grand in drugs.

You're in the mix now,

there's no faking it, okay?

You need to get him to trust you.

Respect your Hus,

get your credibility up out there.

I wouldn't even know where to start.

Oh, you'll figure it out.

Listen, there's no other way, okay?

Once you get him to deal with you

personally, it's done.

And you're out. Case closed.

Yeah, I'm going to need a buffer to give

me some fake commercial real estate lease.

I got a real in with this guy.

Done.

Yo.

Where are y'all going?

Can I ride with y'all?

Get the f*** outta here.

'Sup, clown?

Just talking to my man. That's all.

So, what's popping?

Why did you f***ing get out

of the car so fast for?

- What, you freaking up or something?

- Get the f*** out of here with that sh*t.

Just f***ing with you.

Hey, um, come on out for a minute.

- Leave your phone.

- All right.

So you may have a meeting

with Reese today, huh?

- Is that what we have to do?

- What do you mean?

We had to get sh*t ready

for Arizona and sh*t,

but he just told me to go ahead and do it.

This is what the f*** I am talking about.

So, is he doing direct business

with this guy?

No. He's just working, bro.

I don't think he's that deep, really.

You don't think so?

Even you question that sh*t.

I mean, what, first the secret meetings

and then he's running sh*t?

How do you know he was meeting with him?

Don't worry about that.

[Papers] Look, just keep

your eyes and ears open.

I ain't about to let this new guy

f*** this sh*t up for us.

[Face] Come on, do you think

Deuces is really going to let him in?

[Papers] Did he tell you about

taking a meeting with him?

If he takes a meeting, I take a meeting.

And what are they talking about, anyway?

Just keep your eyes and ears open.

I wanna keep my eye on this guy.

Say no more.

["I Need a Dollar" playing]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

Hey. Working late?

Not anymore.

Going to bed.

Something wrong?

The fact that you don't even know

what's wrong is what's crazy.

Okay. Let's talk.

You wanna talk?

I mean, you sure you got time?

Say what you gotta say.

- [scoffs]

- [cell phone ringing]

It's that sh*t right there.

- 'Cause my phone is ringing?

- Yes!

It's f***ing 4:
00 in the morning...

Is it somebody else? If it is...

- Pape.

- [Papers] What's going on?

Uh, no, just talking to the little lady.

Oh, okay. Tell Janet I say hey.

He says "hey."

- Look, man, let me holla at you tomorrow.

- All right, that work.

You don't even know, do you?

What?

It's only you.

[moaning]

I have a question for you.

I got an answer for you.

There's only two types of people

who are out the same hour as you are,

criminals and police. So...

When I was a kid,

I would come home every day

hoping for two things.

One, my mother was there,
