You need me

or why you call me here?

[Black] How's things with you?

Business is good, you know?

How you?

Well, they had me down at the

police station the other day.

Oh, yeah? Why?

Something about some cop

that got murdered.

Um... a DT named Cullen.

Oh, yeah...

yeah, I heard that there

was a cop that got killed over

there in the subway at 191st.

You know, they had some

snitch pictures, man,

of you and some other cat.

Me?

No, no, no.

Why? I don't know what

you're talking about.

I couldn't figure it out either,

I'm like, you know...

You know,

what type of connection

could you have to this,

you know?

Connection?

Black, I have no connection

with no cops, man.

You know, I'm just...

I'm just out here, you know,

I'm always hustling...

- Well...

- I don't...

It was pictures of you

and some Dominican nigga

in front of, um...

...Club Miami.

Oh, OK, OK.

[coughs]

That's my friend, Rocky.

[growling]

Yo, Rock, you should let

that nigga go, man!

I'm serious, man!

[speaks indistinct]

Look, my brother,

this is my bro's dog.

How am I gonna put the dog

in harm's way? Explain it to me.

Good boy!

His brother was

a tough ass dude,

that's why he got

a tough ass dog.

Munch, the nigga is a dog, B!

Sh*t, you don't understand!

Cut some of that fur off

and you'll get it!

So you're talking about Cullen.

Cullen, Cullen,

the Detective Cullen?

Oh, man, he's the devil.

He is dirty, man, he's dirty.

Do you know what he did?

He violated my nigga

with a stick, man.

He...

I don't even want to talk

about that because it's just...

It's just crazy that he did that

to Rocky, who just got out.

He did three years,

he never snitched on me before,

so I don't know

what he was doing,

maybe he was scouting him

or something because...

I don't know, but I have

nothing to do with that.

I don't know...

I don't know what you

want me to tell you, man.

Pay that man.

[speaking Spanish]

Shh...

You ever seen

one of those ant farms?

I got one for Chrissy

for his birthday last year.

He never looks at it,

but I find it fascinating.

It's amazing...

Leslie...

Anyway this Joey thing...

could get pretty ugly

if it's not handled properly.

He had a lot of enemies and...

I'm not just talking about

the drug dealers he robbed.

I know he was your partner

but Scotty,

he was a f***ing idiot.

You know, he was very dirty.

And, unfortunately,

his dirt caught up with him.

But at least his wife

will get his full pension.

Now, the more you dig

the more you risk

screwing up that pension

for his wife and kids.

And I don't think you want

that on your conscience.

Like Chrissy's ant farm,

sometimes the ants die.

The other day I'm looking

at a dead one,

and he's all the way down

at the bottom,

and all the other ants are...

...crawling all over him

like it's nothing, you know?

No big deal.

And Black, Mr. Jonathan Jones?

There's nothing there.

He has motive.

What's his motive?

It seems like Joey was

maybe blackmailing him.

Extorting him.

I don't know.

But he definitely has motive.

[scoffs]

Mr. Jones.

The Feds have been all over him

for a while now.

Years.

He knew that.

He's not killing a cop.

OK.

Who else you got?

Well, I'm waiting on MTA.

forensics...

There's this girl.

I don't know.

I think she might

know something.

This nigga's buggin'.

I'm lying?

Yeah, nigga on some other sh*t!

Hating is a weak emotion.

Y'all niggas gotta be

better than that, B.

How's it going, man?

All good?

[speaks indistinct]

Just out here.

What about you?

Just chillin', my nigga,

just got off of work.

[speaking Spanish]

...cutting meat.

I got a switch

my whole style up, you feel me?

Yeah, man.

I know, I know how it is.

I don't know if you heard,

but that detective

you had beef with,

somebody caught that nigga

in the subway. He's dead.

So what?

I don't care nothing

about that f*ggot ass cop.

Whether he's dead or alive, B.

[speaking Spanish]

Maybe you should lay low.

Yo, my nigga.

I already told you, that sh*t

ain't up for discussion.

[speaking Spanish]

Olga.

[indistinct dialogue echoing]

[bell ringing]

[horn honking]

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

[knocking]

[speaking Spanish]

[Marisol yelping]

Open, open, open!

Open!

[both screaming]

[speaking Spanish]

- OK, you ready partner?

- Yeah, OK.

Let's get this over with.

Well, our main concern

is for you.

So what are you saying exactly?

If things came out

and an investigation

were opened on Joey, you know.

We wouldn't want that

to jeopardize,

you know, Joey's pension.

Really?

So you come into my house,

my and my dead husband's house,

and you're telling me what?

That you're not going

to go after his killer?

I want you out of my house.

Scotty, make her get

out of my house!

I don't want her in here!

OK, partner,

I'll meet you outside.

You know what you are, Scotty?

Well, I'll tell you.

You're pathetic.

Look at me.

Nobody likes you.

Janine...

Don't Janine me.

You had one friend!

You had one f***ing person

in this world

who gave

a flying f*** about you!

Who took you kid every weekend

because you couldn't handle it!

Who watched your son!

You couldn't even take care

of your own f***ing son!

And this is how you treat him?

[giggling]

[speaking Spanish]

[indistinct chatter]

[Scotty] What about her?

[speaking Spanish]

I'm sorry, officer,

my English no good.

[speaking Spanish]

If I see him, I call you.

Lemme see, lemme see.

You see this guy?

He don't look Dominican,

he look Puerto Rican.

[grunts]

OK.

[speaking Spanish]

He's so young, too.

[speaking Spanish]

[grunting indistinct]

What, you're bigger than me now?

You're bigger than me now?

[whistling]

[barking]

Lucky!

[tires screeching]

[banging]

[speaking Spanish]

[sobbing]

[man] We regret to inform you

that your son,

Jos Alvarez de la Cruz,

was killed in action.

My nephew is no slouch either.

[man] Let me tell you

how good a cop he is.

He is, in my opinion, the best

doughnut guy we ever had!

And he was nice enough

to give a ticket

to an old girlfriend of mine.

A chick who, sad to say,

broke the D-man's heart.

How much was that ticket?

Oh, that's right,

$250 for blocking the bus!

I call him

the brains of the outfit.

[indistinct chatter]

[sobbing]

Hey, Rocky, I'm sorry to hear

about your brother, Jos, man.

[man] Just waiting until I clear

my head some more, you feel me?

I feel you, but look,

the police came

looking for you the other day.

- For real?

- Seriously.

Yo, that must be what

that nigga Naldo was talking

about, remember?

Come on, bra, pay attention.

That nigga Naldo is dead.

- That nigga's dead, B?

- Yeah, my dude, nigga's dead.

[siren blaring]

You just watch your back, man.

Word is Black is the one

that killed Naldo.

That's crazy, man.

Maybe you should just

lay low for a minute.

[Ramirez] What is it?

Come on,

what do you got, partner?

I don't know, probably nothing.

Isn't that the girl
