Dope Page #5
I spaced on
my college interviews.
I only have 20 minutes to get down
there or my whole life is f***ed.
I'll take you.
What?
I'll take you.
- Whee!
- Lily! Lily, get up!
Oh, Lily! It's a stop sign!
Lily, stop. Stop!
Stop!
Oh, sh*t.
Lily.
Lily!
Lily! I gotta pee! I gotta pee!
Get out of my house!
Let me use the toilet!
Lily! Get back!
- Lily!
- I gotta pee! I gotta pee! I gotta pee!
What the f***?
Tell you what's going down.
We gon' order our food.
And then you can order your
lunch or whatever the f*** else.
A'ight? Then we gon' keep it pushin'.
Yeah?
Shut your f***in'-
Diggy, fries, fries, fries!
I want my motherfucking dope!
I want my f***ing dope!
Sh*t, where the f*** is Jaleel?
F***! That was our ride. What the f-
Run, run, run!
Freeze! Down on your knees!
Keep your hands up!
What the f***?
Mr. Jacoby's just wrapping up a
staff meeting. He'll be a few minutes.
Dom?
Is that- Is that Dom?
Oh, sh*t.
Austin Jacoby.
Nice to meet you,
Malcolm.
Take a seat.
Come on, relax.
So, uh...
Malcolm Adekanbi.
Did I pronounce that
right?
Yeah? Great.
You're Nigerian.
My dad, um-
He- He went back to Nigeria
before I was born.
Sorry to hear that.
I know what it's like
to grow up without a father.
That's why I spend a lot of time and
a lot of money with the Boys Club.
Those, um-
Those kids-
A- Are they your kids?
Yes, they are.
Not too much older
than you.
So you know Dominique?
Excuse me?
You- You probably
know him as Dom.
No. Sorry.
Why do you ask?
Dom gave me something...
to deliver to someone.
As crazy as it seems,
I- I think
that someone is you.
This Dom person-
what did he say
that, uh,
I should have to do
with this, uh, delivery?
I don't know.
I just know that he told me
to deliver it to A.J., so-
And why did you do it?
- I didn't have a choice.
- Oh, come on, Malcolm.
Come on.
You always have a choice.
You could have done a lot
of things with that package.
You're a smart kid. I'm sure
you thought about all of them.
But you chose to make the
delivery for this Dom person...
because you thought it was,
what, in your best interest?
So, you should
take responsibility...
for the choice
that you've made.
Now, you know I'm not
the person or persons...
for whom this delivery
was intended.
Something happened
along the way.
It's like, uh, Amazon.
If you order a Rick Ross
or Macklemore CD-
I would not order
a Macklemore CD.
That wouldn't happen.
All right. Who, then?
Casey Veggies.
Casey Veggies?
That's- That's an artist?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay. All right.
So, you order a Casey
Veggies CD from Amazon, right?
No, you don't order
You just go online
and you download it.
Yeah, okay. All right.
But you are aware that
Amazon does ship discs, right?
And if you order that disc and it
does not come in a timely fashion,
you're gonna call them
and say, "Where's my stuff?"
And Amazon has to
assume responsibility.
But it's just one CD.
But what if it's 100 orders
and 100 CDs don't show up?
Or a thousand?
Or 10,000?
It's a slippery slope.
Slippery slope.
So, Amazon has
got to assume...
the full cost
of the loss.
But most importantly,
they have to deal with the loss
of their reputation.
A reputation that has taken
a long time to build.
You understand
what I'm saying?
So let's do this.
Let's reschedule
this interview...
for a few weeks from now.
Give it a little time.
Go out there.
Make the delivery for which you
have claimed responsibility...
to the appropriate
consumers...
so that the suppliers
of this product...
can be whole.
Metaphorically speaking,
of course.
If you're able
to do this,
it shows me more
about you...
than any interview
ever could.
And I would then
make it my business...
to make you
a man of Harvard.
I want you to get out of
The Bottoms just like I did.
I know from growing up there
it's very, very dangerous...
and that your family or your friends
could get killed at any moment...
just by being in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
I'd hate for that
to happen to you...
or any
of your family members.
Getting on?
Looks like you and I
had the same kind of day.
How'd the interview go?
Okay.
Well, sit down.
My shift's almost over.
I'll take you home.
Thanks, Mom.
apparently the side effects of the
popular club drug MDMA, or "Molly. "
Tannehill James was a witness
to this bizarre scene.
So, I'm here at the Seven Bucks,
drinking my vanilla chai latte...
and eating me
some pound cake.
'Cause you know niggas
don't eat scones, right?
When all of a sudden this crazy
and she squatted down right in front
of me and she pissed right there.
I swear to God.
Pissed right there
for a long time.
So, now, you tell me how am I
supposed to eat my pound cake...
after witnessing
something like that?
Reporting live, Karen Myetta,
Channel 10 News.
Up next, a fight over lunch
turns deadly in Inglewood.
Did he actually say, "I'll kill you and
your friends if you don't sell these drugs"?
Or just you? What?
Don't act like you weren't
curious too. Not directly.
He was talking about Amazon and Rick
Ross CDs not getting to their customers.
Niggas don't even buy
CDs anymore, dawg.
Jib, that's not
the f***ing point!
Are you gonna go and sell on the corner?
'Cause we're a bunch of b*tches, man.
Speak for yourself, Jib.
Yes.
I am a b*tch-ass nigga. I don't
give a f***. I own that sh*t.
Who are you trying
to impress, Diggy?
Jib, not f***ing heroin.
All we gotta do
is find the white people.
- Go to Coachella, Lollapalooza.
- Yeah, yeah.
We can backpack and hitchhike and sing Mumford
and Sons songs and all that faux f***ing sh*t.
F*** you. Okay?
I'm just saying it could work.
Yeah, yeah. Why stop there, you
know? Why not hit Bonnaroo also?
Bitcoins.
That's how we do it.
Do what?
Oh, sh*t.
There's these sites where you can
- you can sell everything...
from fake credit cards
to illegal guns and drugs.
And they use Bitcoins
so they can't be traced.
We don't have to
stand on any corner.
Dark Web. Could work.
Way better than Coachella.
Guys, the FBI can track us. The police
- No, they can't.
- Not if you use a Tor browser.
- What the f*** is that?
- Onion routing.
- Layered encryptions.
It's like a game of Whac-A-Mole
with thousands of computers-
What the f***
is a Whac-A-Mole?
Look, these dark Web sites run
off these secret IP addresses.
Like LulzSec-level shady.
We need to find one somehow.
W-
William Ian Sherwood III.
Musician, scholar, rake,
entrepreneur, conspiracy theorist.
Malcolm, Jib and Diggy met William
at band camp three years ago.
Yo, if you niggas need some weed,
I got you. Good sh*t. Fair prices.
William assured them that
he used the word "nigga"...
