All right.

Listen.

She told me she appreciates

you coming to us about this.

I only do business

with you people, man.

She's always appreciated

a good businessman.

Yeah. Same.

Look, I got a little token of

appreciation for your sister.

No doubt.

She really appreciates everything,

you know.

What are you so impressed for?.

He ain't nobody.

'Cause if it wasn't for them,

we wouldn't be where we're at right now.

Man, stop sweatin' it.

You want his balls.

No, you sweat the small stuff.

You don't see the big picture.

That's your problem.

My brother would say, " Keep your homies

close and keep your beef even closer"

Bro, that's Godfather.

From The Godfather?.

That's not from The Godfather.

That's my brother's f***in' words.

I'm just telling you

that was from The Godfather.

It's Crack head Pete.

Let that nigga in, man.

You know that nigga's cool.

- That's how you do it!

- What took you so f***in' long, man?.

Where were you, motherf***er?.

That's right.

Where your late pass at?.

You my boys.

I know you can handle all that sh*t.

They gonna bury that fat motherf***er

in the ocean-

BMF.COM

No more jets to the Caymans.

I'm talking instant transfer of cash.

Hoc's right. It's a sleeping giant.

Every single bank wants-

I don't know what it's like

to lose a son...

There are no more sleeping giants.

but after what Jimmy did to Tito's kid,

I knew I was out.

Maybe investing with Jack

was gonna be the answer.

- So you're saying I'm wrong, Sasha?.

- Do you know him?.

- Hey, how's it going?.

- What's up, dawg?.

- It's good to see you.

- Good to see you, man.

I'll catch you guys

on the way out.

- Bye.

- I'll see you later.

That's a cute little booty.

Yeah.

- You got a drink?.

- Yeah, I'm good, man.

You want a cigar?.

Oh, hell, yeah, man.

So, you ready to do

some business?.

I was born ready, baby.

This is a prospectus.

It's gonna look like,

I don't know, hieroglyphics to you...

but I'll explain it later.

What's this "prospecticus" for?.

It's for a start-up company.

We call it a sleeping giant.

There aren't any more

sleeping giants left, you know.

They're most of them extinct.

What do you mean?.

- What?.

- I was trying to play you, man.

I just overheard you.

I came early.

Oh, no, no.

They didn't believe me anyway.

There are some good ones out there.

What type of deals?.

Biotechnology.

Human genome.

This is legit?.

What do you mean, is it legit?.

Of course it's legit.

Is it legit?.

- For real?.

- For real.

The question you gotta ask your self is,

how much are you willing to invest?.

All right.

So, how much do I need to invest

in this cloning stuff?.

If you just wanna get your feet wet,

we're talking a minimum of $1 million.

It's a six to eight month

investment period.

We're looking to make back several times

our initial investment within the year.

There's no such thing as a sure thing,

but this is as close as it gets.

Jack and I did our homework

on each other.

He's got what he's got,

and I want what he's got.

I keep my money in nine places.

An apartment that belongs to some old

woman that can't afford to live there...

bodegas, a blind man's place,

a principal's office, all over.

I pay their rent,

give them some grocery cash...

and in return

they keep a safe for me.

Yo, wake up.

Vic's here.

You want a brew, man?.

Yeah. Kick it over here.

So what's up, man?.

I got this investment opportunity...

and I could make enough money

to get out of this sh*t.

If you're interested,

I can bring you in.

Maybe make enough to get out.

What do you think?.

Get out of what, man?.

I'm happy doing what I'm doing.

I thought you was happy too.

You think I wanna go out

like my brother?.

Besides, I got a baby coming.

Congratulations, papa.

What about the crew?.

Well, you've been running this sh*t

with me since the very beginning anyhow.

All it is now is,

I'm out of the way.

You know La Colombiana

ain't just let you walk away like that.

Man, with the money you're making

right now, she could easy forget me.

I could just fade away easy

like that.

All I need from you

is help with the head start.

Come here, man.

- You got it.

- Thanks, man.

Freeze! Police! Hands up!

- Put 'em up!

- Keep your hands off me.

- Shut up!

- Get down!

Don't f*** around this time!

- Shut the f*** up, Vic.

- Don't worry. We'll take care of you.

You are f***ing done.

- You're sorry, all right.

- My arm! My arm!

So am I. Let's go.

- Could I just get my jacket, please?.

- No, smart ass, you can't.

What about my cell phone?.

You ever get picked up for anything,

there's one thing you never forget-

keep your mouth shut,

don't say a f***in' word.

You think cops are stupid? You think

you can talk your way out? You're wrong.

Almost every conviction they get

is some dumb motherf***er...

tripping him self up.

Keep your mouth shut.

Close off your mind.

Try to relax. Don't listen.

Everything they say is a lie.

They'll tell you they got witnesses,

that your boys turned on you.

All lies.

If they had that, they wouldn't be

bothering with all this sh*t.

Man, I called everybody.

I had no one else to turn to but Jack.

His sent this lawyer, an old white cat

named Bobby Gold, to get me...

and like that, I'm out.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Let's go. Get hi m out of there.

It's cold as sh*t, man.

- Thank you for coming.

- Everything is under control.

- It's all gonna be all right?.

- Yes.

You shouldn't have

any more trouble.

This is a bullshit case.

They know it.

Anybody asks you anything about this,

any cops come near you...

you call me immediately, all right?.

- I gotta run.

- Okay. Thanks so much.

You know I took a big chance working

with you in the first place, right?.

- I know, man.

- This can't happen.

- I took a chance on you too, you know.

- I know.

But if it happens again,

the deal's off. All right?.

All right. Yeah.

The girls are waiting for us.

You wanna go out?.

- All right, whatever.

- Come on.

We started out

As friends

And then the fun began

This place is so amazing.

You guys are gonna love it.

And you know what?.

A lot of " boriquas" come here.

- A lot of what?.

- " Boriquas"

Boriquas, Vic.

Leave her alone. You know what she said.

Look, there's Mike. Remember Mike?.

He was here last time.

- Yes, you do.

- She's hard-core, man.

The one who loves and leaves me

So why can't you drink?.

My baby's having a baby.

Really?.

- Hell, yeah. I know where to put it.

- That's really great.

Congratulations.

What did I miss?.

They're having a baby.

What?.

Yeah. Isn't that great?.

- Oh, my God. You're having a baby?.

- Isn't that beautiful?.

- They're having a baby.

- I heard it the first time.

- And Jack knew before me?.

- What is that drink?.

- It's Bacardi and wine. Taste it.

- That's so beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Can you feel it yet?.

You told me

that you'd always love me

So is it gonna be pretty small
