'cause they're always right.

Hey, uh... go find Face and holla at me.

Now...

You know, I'm thinking

we should get out of here.

Y'all hungry?

- Pancakes?

- Pancakes.

- Y'all doing breakfast already? Okay.

- Yes.

- After you.

- Yes.

Have some pancakes.

- And me.

- Okay.

[grunting]

[gunshot]

[groaning]

[gunshot]

[Jason panting]

[Deuces] Clean this up.

Reese, let's go.

[man] Hey.

What's good?

What the f***?

[gunshot]

I knew I saw that fat f***er in there.

And I know that b*tch

has something to do with this sh*t.

Damn, this is bullshit!

- [Deuces] Where the f*** you been?

- [Face] I was taking care of that thing.

- What about the surveillance tapes?

- Gone.

We're not f***ing around

with that club no more.

It's way too hot, a'ight?

Another thing, nobody gonna be working

at the bar no more.

[Papers] What? What's going on?

There's too much heat over there,

until I say otherwise.

What happened?

He had to knock down Grip.

For what? Why?

For him.

You murt Grip for this motherf***er?

Why? Really?

Motherf***er...

You been acting real strange lately.

All some shady sh*t. What's up, man?

I ain't the one with the secret meetings.

I'm doing something

that's gonna elevate us, move us...

- Oh, wait, for us?

- Yes.

For us? You doing this sh*t for us?

What the f*** are you doing for us?

This sh*t is all for you. Who you fooling?

Bro, let's get something straight.

I ain't never been a sucker

for somebody to tell me something,

so I'll just take it.

That ain't me.

I've been the one that has been there,

the nigga that's been watching your back

since day one...

- Where the f*** was you at tonight?

- Hey, calm down. Relax.

Nah. You questioning me?

Me, nigga?

I get it.

You know, you got

your real estate business ventures,

and your new little partner.

'Cause it ain't like you was gonna

give me the keys to all this sh*t.

Right?

You're f***ing up, bro.

Are you done?

All I know is this sh*t better not f*** up

the deal with Santiago.

That's all I gotta say.

Come on, Pape.

[engine starts]

- Janet, wait.

- No.

You never answered any of my calls.

I was worried about you.

- Get off me.

- Wait...

- You left me at the club.

- Let me say what I gotta say.

There's nothing to talk about, Stephen.

I don't believe that.

We can't talk now?

Babe, I'm the same person from day one.

And that's what's really scary.

Listen, I know the other night...

I made a lot of things unclear to you.

But the one thing

that's always been consistent is,

I love you.

And I...

I can't lose you.

Did you hurt somebody

the other night at the club?

Are there others?

- Oh, my God.

- Look,

I never go out looking for trouble.

I just handle what comes my way.

Stephen, be real with yourself, like...

- I just...

- I didn't ask for this.

I didn't ask for this.

Come here.

I gotta go.

[r&b song playing]

[Deuces] Hmm.

Brooks.

Uh...

Hey, give me a minute.

I need to talk in private,

but look over those numbers again,

and make sure that

the profit shares are accurate.

[man] Okay.

[man sighs]

[Jason] How're you feeling?

There's too much going on, man.

Make you wanna lose your mind.

Yeah, man. Sh*t's crazy.

Let me ask you something.

If a person just one day upped and walked

away from everything that they had

to start something new,

could you be mad at him?

- What you mean?

- Simple question.

Nah.

I mean, how could somebody be mad

at someone for improving their life?

You'd be surprised

at how people switch up on you

when you evolve

and try to better yourself.

Look... [clears throat]

this is it.

This big situation that's coming up,

after that, I'm out.

Walking away for good.

Yeah, but why not right now?

Why not this second?

I can't bail on a commitment like this.

No, I don't work that way.

Besides, the money I'm getting

is part of my retirement package.

I'm flying.

Listen... [clears throat]

You can't mess up something like this.

It's too important.

And I gotta bring in somebody

that is responsible, focused,

and I can trust 100 percent.

And that's you.

- What about your crew?

- What about 'em?

Everybody's gonna eat.

I'm gonna break bread with everybody.

They're gonna be okay.

Look, man, Pape is just

feeling a certain type of way

because of what we've got.

Deep down...

he's a good dude.

He's gonna get his bread.

Right now, it's me and you, partner.

Yeah.

My guy.

[cell phone ringing]

Uh...

Face, what it do?

What?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

Just slow down.

Where?

How?

F***!

Sh*t!

F***!

Damn, man.

You try to do something good

for people out here, man.

You do the right thing, you know,

try to bring people up, and this happens.

Yo, yo, yo, what happened?

They knocked down Diggs, man.

F***ing killed her, man. Sh*t.

Sh*t.

These niggas wanna f*** with me

and my crew?

These motherfuckers wanna see me?

A'ight. I'ma find these niggas,

and I'ma handle this myself.

- Now, I'ma get 'em to business.

- No.

No, I'm knocking everybody the f*** down!

- That's what you're not gonna do.

- No, f*** that sh*t!

- I'm burning niggas down!

- No...

Your hands need to stay clean.

My nigga, I owe you. Let me handle this.

I'll find the motherfuckers.

Keep your hands clean.

I got you.

She was just a little girl.

[Henderson] Which version was this?

Was this the Jason story

or the Reese version?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Which version was it?

The f***ing truthful version.

We were in the club, the shots went off

away from the party.

I saw nothing. I heard the gunshots.

Yeah, where was Brooks?

Like I said, I don't know.

With his girl, I guess.

How am I supposed to keep tabs on him

with everything going on?

I'm sorry, I thought that was your job.

Or did you just sign up

to be in a music video?

I'm doing the job I signed up for.

Nobody's ever gotten this close,

have they?

Like I said,

last time I talked to him

was before everything went down,

and he said he was waiting on his girl.

Okay.

We got some pictures of a girl

he's been seeing more frequently.

You need to dig deeper into this.

What does knowing his girl

gotta do with anything?

Hey, listen.

Many girlfriends have testified

on their men in the past, okay?

This could be good for us. Look into it.

- Can I get back to work now?

- I don't know. Can you?

Did you know they found a body

by the 8th Street train yard?

What about it?

Well, the Vic frequented the same area

you've been investigating.

It's a dangerous area.

Yeah? It's the same guy

you had the run-in with.

Uh-huh. You didn't think I knew

about that, did you?

Let me ask you something,

are we still on the same team?

Yeah.

"Yeah"?

Yes, Lieutenant.

By the way, there's a huge transaction

coming up.

It might be what you been waiting for.

Oh, really? When were you gonna

inform me about this?

You got me out here defending my loyalty.
