How long has Sonny
been with the gang?
Sonny was with no gang.
Mr. Stanton, how long has Sonny
worked for you?
Since he was a kid.
Seven or eight years.
And he never associated himself
with anyone outside the store?
Sonny wasn't with no gangs,
didn't do no drugs.
lf you want to look into things
like that,
maybe you should look into
your own police force, officer.
What the hell does that mean?
l'm sorry it took so long.
Here are his things.
They're a bit sticky.
They got something like pie,
or something, on them.
Can l see him?
Sure, just a few minutes,
and we'll have to move him.
Mr. Stanton,
we still need to talk to you.
l'm going to go in there
and look in on my son.
You two do whatever
you feel is best.
Mr. Stanton, sir.
[ Sighs ]
l don't quite know
what to do now, boy.
lt's always been me and you.
Seems foolish now --
All that talk about partners
when we were the partners.
in the morning
and closed it down.
We worked like a team.
Day in, day out.
l didn't do right by you, boy.
l know that now.
You see. . .
A long time ago,
l went the wrong way,
did the wrong things.
And it cost me.
lt cost me everything l had.
So l decided to become
an everyday black man,
and only focus on doing good. . .
. . .being better, things like that.
But, in the end, that cost me, too.
And l can't pay.
l can't pay that cost no more.
And you shouldn't have had to pay.
But l don't want you
to worry about nothing.
l'm going to fix things.
l'm going to fix everything.
No, no, no, you misunderstand.
l'm not-- l'm not--
l understand that, but l'm not asking
you to give me any information, l'm--
No, l'm not asking
about his condition.
l'm just asking if you can tell me
how long do you think he's--
Okay.
Okay, thank you very much.
We need to go to the hospital.
We got work to do, babe.
Look at the store.
Malik, l can't get any information
on the phone.
Could you take me to the hospital,
please?
l'm sorry, babe, we got-- we got
a bakery to run. Try them again.
l can't get any information
on the phone.
-Can you take me to the hospital?
-Woman, you kidding me?
Malik! Do you not understand
what's going on?
Mrs. Reed, from across the street,
said that Sonny was shot, okay?
He's in lCU!
You know what?
l say, good riddance.
That motherf***er
was strange anyway.
May Allah be with him.
That's it.
That's all we can do.
Pray for him.
lt'll be okay.
Where you going?
-The boxes--
-To the hospital, Malik.
l want to make sure Moses is okay.
Babe, put your apron back on.
We got work to do.
No!
Why you making this so difficult?
Malik, do you not understand,
Moses is like my family?
Okay? And Sonny
is a part of that family, too.
They've always been there for me,
so l need to be there for them.
And l'm here for you.
Why don't you return the favor
and be here for me?
We got work to do.
You see Brother Yusef slaving back
and forth. Just stay for a while.
l think you'll be fine.
Malik, l'm going to go, okay?
Malik, come on, let go of me.
Malik, really.
l'm not kidding, Malik.
Stop. Really. Bye.
Are you serious?
-Put your apron back on, please.
-No!
See, l asked, ''please''.
Politely.
Put your apron back on.
We got work to do.
Come on.
We got work to do.
[ Crying ]
l'll show you--
[ Crying ]
Who's in charge, right?
Brother Yusef, you mind
getting that apron for me?
l said, no.
You got me?
Put the apron back on you.
What is wrong with you, Malik?
What do you mean,
what's wrong with me?
Ow, ow!
We got work to do.
You not listening.
l said, put your apron back on, baby.
Everything will be all right.
You going to hit me?
You going to hit me?
Don't!
Okay.
That's a good girl.
That's a good girl.
Got to put your apron on now.
Can l tie it for you?
Oh!
You spit on me?
-Stop, stop!
-Hmm?
Get your ass up!
[ Mumbling ]
You spit on me.
You know who l am?
No!
-l'm your man.
-No!

[ Whispering ]
Be a good girl.
Get back to work.
-You ready?
-l'm ready.
Yeah, l'm ready.
Back to work.
DARC Y:
Well, well, well.Look what we got here!
Making house calls now, Darcy?
Yeah, l was told some things
-l-- l didn't say nothing, Malik.
-Shut up!
-What's going on, Malik?
-Look here, b*tch.
Me and Malik got to do a little
straightening some things out.
Maybe we should go in the back.
Maybe we can straighten them out
right here.
l don't give a sh*t
what you think, n*gger.
motherf***er!
Perhaps you should see
your way out.
Oh, don't mind me.
Just came to remove some trash!
[ Gunshots ]
[ Gunshot ]
Ray, shoot that n*gger.
[ Claire screams ]
[ Gunshots ]
Oh!
You can do better than that, dawg.
Ah!
[ Horn honking ]
l thought you were a killer.
Show me something, brother.
[ Gunshot ]
You lose your chump change, dawg?
-You can do better?
-Moses!
[ Gunshot ]
Please, stop!
Hit him again.
[ Gunshots ]
MOSES:
Okay.Malik, just me and you, man.
-Let her go.
-You f***ed up, old-timer.
You don't want her.
You want me.
You f***ed up, old-timer.
You got to care more about her
than that.
Moses!
Why don't you let her go, man?
Forget about her.
F*** you!
You know, back in my day,
men didn't cower behind women.
Go to extra lengths to use them
for things that they want.
A real man steps up out front
and gets his job done.
Come on, brother, go at it.
-Ain't no p*ssy here, n*gger.
-Ain't no man either, boy.
Oh, you got me f***ed up.
Must got me switched up
with your boy, Sonny.
He was the one screaming
like a little b*tch.
That's going to be you
when we're done here.
Sonny's dead, baby.
No!
What the f*** did you do to Sonny?
Let her go.
Go upstairs, old-timer. Okay?
Put the gun down,
go upstairs, so l can
clean up this mess.
Sooner we get back to business,
all right?
Huh?
You got me, you surprised me.
-You got me.
-You know l can't do that.
[ Speaking indistinctly ]
That woman
you're hiding behind now. . .
. . .that's my daughter.
We got a problem.
You know we do.
Let her go, Malik.
You want me,
come get me, man.
[ Panting ]
Oh!
Ooh!
Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
-Oh!
-Ah!
Ah!
[ Crack ]
Ah!
[ Coughing ]
l don't care who tells,
but tell somebody.
Everybody.
No more drugs!
No more drugs here anymore!
Not in my store.
l called an ambulance, okay?
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay.
Please. . . l always loved you.
l love you, Claire.
Shh!
l just always, always loved you.
Somebody, help me!
l just --
l wanted to tell you, but --
[ Crying ]

you would be better-- better off.
Don't leave me, Moses!
