No, man, l'll teach her better things

She's too much woman

You're gonna have

Oh, l'm calm.

- No, Bobby, no!

- Angel's gonna ask some questions.

And, brother, l sh*t you not,

We know you're lying

about your business.

And we know you got mixed up

with some gangsters.

- Hold on--

- Stay down!

Y'all think l had something to do

with Mom getting killed?

You got a check for 400,000 that you

just so happened to forget to mention

- from Mom's life insurance.

- She took out the policy for the girls.

Man, l ain't have nothing

to do with that. Come on.

- You made the payments!

- Good timing, Jerry.

Just when it seems like

all is lost for you,

Mom gets shot by some gangsters

and now you hit the f***ing lottery!

So y'all--? Y'all tripping

because l made insurance payments?

What? l paid all her bills!

Where the f*** were y'all?

How many years did l have

to take care of her my goddamn self?

Y'all were around doing nothing!

Bullshitting!

And you gonna tell me l killed her?

Come on, man!

So why would you pay off

a killer like Sweet?

And what the f***

did he do for you, Jerry?

What did he do for me?

He killed my f***ing life!

l put everything in that project!

l bet it all trying to make

something of myself!

Trying to make the sh*t work!

Then Vic's goons gonna

come try to take a piece.

You paid him, Jerry.

You got in bed with him.

No, no, l didn't pay them! That's

how they f***ing shut me down!

l thought the city cut you off.

Douglas? Come on, man.

This is Detroit!

Sweet owns Douglas! He ain't nothing

but a gangster in a suit!

l don't pay him,

and now he shuts my loans off!

- End of story, end of project.

- So, what about the 20 grand?

l just told you. You wanna cross

the bridge, you gotta pay the toll.

l took the money. l was gonna pay

the bribe until y'all f***ed it up.

l took the money. l was gonna pay

the bribe until y'all f***ed it up.

Your mother was a whore!

- Who sent you? Victor Sweet?

- Yeah. Yeah, it was Sweet.

Thank God.

Thank God?

He killed my mother and my little

brother, you motherf***er!

Thank Victor Sweet.

Photograph them.

Hey, let me talk to them, okay?

Look, l'm real sorry, man.

l really am.

But what happened here?

Victor Sweet did this.

How do you figure that?

Because his friend in the bag

over there told me.

Okay, l'll make sure l get

a statement from him then.

Why did Sweet do us like this, man?

And why did it have

to be our moms?

Because Evelyn was going after him.

She knew her son, man.

She never thought for a second

that you were corrupt.

But l never told her

about my business.

Jerry, were you ever able

to keep a secret from her?

She knew all about

your trouble, man.

The moment they shut you down,

she went down there,

- raising hell with the councilman.

- You gonna bury Sweet, or are we?

Well, l got me...

- ...a dirty uniform l gotta deal with first.

- What?

You see, Evelyn filed a report that

got passed on to Victor Sweet.

- By who?

- Look, l just got something l--

Don't bullshit me, Green.

Who are you protecting?

- Your boy Fowler?

- Look, Fowler's my problem!

l'll deal with him.

And then we get Sweet.

Green.

So how we gonna deal

with all this?

Self-defense.

Wasn't it?

Hey.

What's happening, partner?

What's cooking, boss?

lsn't this one

of Victor Sweet's spots?

Yeah, l heard that.

So what?

So why ain't you tell me

that you had talked to Evelyn Mercer

a week before she got killed?

l mean, don't you think that that's

relevant to a murder investigation?

l didn't tell you

because it wasn't relevant at all.

- Really?

- Yeah, l talked to the old lady...

...for all of about five minutes.

She came in with her usual medley.

Kids tagging up her block,

that kind of sh*t.

You know, l figured

it was something like that.

But you still should have

said something to me, man.

Sorry.

Did she file a police report?

No. l sent it over

to the Parks Department.

They clean that sh*t up.

- Five minutes, huh?

- Yeah.

Couldn't have been

much more than that.

You wanna take a shot?

You're gonna need some practice.

l'd love to.

lt's been a long time

since l played a game like this one.

- ls that so?

- Yeah.

Partner, l think your stick is crooked.

l think it's all right.

And the weight is off.

Worked pretty good for me.

You sure?

Yeah.

You is a dirty cop!

Give me your badge.

See, l hate dirty cops.

Green, wait.

Green, wait!

There is something l forgot.

What? What the f***

you wanna say to me?

l forgot they installed those

surveillance cameras in the station.

Motherf***er!

Officer down! Officer down!

Green's been shot!

l'm in the alleyway behind

John R and Seven Mile!

Suspects are two young black males
