or they gonna kill him or something.

That's what they said, man.

Sh*t. $500, 000. W-w--

I only got 120 thou on me right now, cash.

A., I need that connect, man.

I need to get these keys, man,

so I can get this money

for Sonny's ransom fee.

Slow down a second, man.

You know what I'm saying?

'Cause this ain't for him, A.

This ain't for him, man.

Right.

They jerked him, man.

They f***in' jerked him, man.

They sent me his finger

in an envelope, man.

All bloody and sh*t.

I don't know what to do, A.

I don't, man.

I feel naked out here, B.

I'm thinking about how they got Sonny

in some abandoned building

or some basement

just f***in' bleedin', man.

He's dyin', man.

They're killin' my little man, B.

I'm about to beat on

some real murder sh*t, A.

I'm telling you, man.

Any nigga that ever looked

at me wrong,

owes me money,

or ever said any jealous

bullshit about me is f***in' dead.

You understand what the f***

I'm saying, A.?

They're f***in' dead, man.

I don't give a f***

about nothing, man.

But I need my little man back, B.

I need him back, man.

I'm dead out here, man.

I can't function.

I can't, B.

There's 22 keys.

14 of them for Sonny.

8 of them I kept.

Sell those,

It's in the bag,

you know what I mean?

Yeah. A'ight.

F***in' hear anything, man.

You understand?

You got what you need'?

Yeah.

'Cause that's my motherfuckin'

little man, too, man.

It's gonna be a'ight.

It's gonna be a'ight, man.

Gonna get him back, man.

No doubt.

Keisha?

What's wrong?

No. Not Sonny.

They found Mitch.

He got-- He got shot in the head, baby.

He's dead.

What?

He's dead!

F***!

F***! F***! F***!

Oh.

What?

F***!

F***!

All I had left of Mitch

was his voice in my head

saying that he was gonna meet

up with Rico that night.

You good?

You know I got all my niggas

lookin' for the little nigga now, B.

Sonny like my little brother, too.

Anything you need let me know.

Good-lookin', baby,

'cause I need your help, Ric.

I need you to help me sell these 14 keys

so I can get this ransom money

for Sonny, man.

You got 14 bricks right there?

Yeah.

- Who'd you off-- A.?

- Yeah, man, but look, B.

Once we get my little

brother back, man,

we right the f*** back on, baby.

We right the f*** back on

once I get Sonny.

It's gonna be business-- ohh!

Hey, yo, A.

What up?

You a'ight, B.?

No, man.

F***ed up.

You know I'm f***ed up

over this sh*t, too, B.

I murdered them niggas

who did that sh*t to Mitch, B.

I'm trying to find out.

I haven't found

any of the damn keys

in that building with Mitch.

Keys?

Yeah, I gave Mitch a set of keys

to get Sonny back, man.

I know he had the f***in' keys

in there with him, man.

Now, you know, I got to get

the money or the keys, man,

To pay this connect back with.

Hey, yo, B., why you ain't

callin' me on that sh*t, B.?

You know I would have went

with that nigga Mitch

and made that sh*t

happen for you, ay.

I know, I know, man.

That's on me. I f***ed up.

You talk to Mitch yesterday?

I ain't talked to Mitch

or see that nigga

the whole goddamn day

yesterday, B.

What happened to your face, man?

What?

I said, "What happened to your face?"

This sh*t?

I was f***in' with this

wild-ass b*tch last night.

You know how I play, B.

That's wild, boy.

You a wild motherf***er, man.

- Yeah.

- You videotape that sh*t?

You think you know me and sh*t, man.

I ain't tape that sh*t last night, B.

I kept another set of keys,

understand?

To sell for when

the ransom was paid.

Now, look, the way

sh*t is now, man,

It's too hot out on the streets

for me to be caught with myself

trying to go out there

and conduct something.

I'm gonna need you to do me this.

I want you to sell

these keys for me.

Give me the money,

I can pay it to the connect.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Then I take you in there,

introduce you to the connect.

So you want me to sell all the keys?

Yeah. It's like this.

I been talking to these

kids from out of town

who say, you know,

they'd take these keys--

Buy them at a higher price

than what's goin'.

You understand what I'm sayin'?

So, you know, all you

got to do is sell them.

Then you take the extra cheese

off the top.

You understand what I'm sayin'?

Then I can walk away.

We all can walk away set.

And you're cool

with that?

I'm cool.

I'm cool with that.

I don't believe you, A.

I mean, you gonna give

up all this sh*t?

About how much?

Yeah, nigga.

I said I was going.

I wanted out.

Oh, no. I'm gonna need more

than that for sure.

I wasn't playin' when I said that.

You understand?

What's up, man?

A'ight?

- A'ight.

- Good.

Let's go up here.

After you.

You're crazy, B.

Nigga f***ing giving up.

I love you, B.

Put it down!

F***ing gonna give up

all this sh*t, man.

Freeze! Put your hands up!

- You a'ight?

- No. I'm f***ed up, man. You understand?

Drop the bag!

Drop the bag!

Anything you need let

me know, man.

Down!

You lookin' to play no ball, baby?

Yo, A., call me, B.

Call me, B.

A'ight?

Yeah, I called him.

And I gave him the number

of fake-ass dealers

who turned out to be the feds.

See, I knew Rico's

greed would destroy him

and set me free.

I'm sure that he would say

I went out like a punk.

But f*** it.

It's a price I could live with.

I don't like the motherf***er anyway.

I did it.

25 to life--

I did that.

Rico can't live with that.

I ain't snitchin' on nobody

from Harlem, man.

I'll give you a couple cats

down in D.C.

doing they thing out of town,

doing they thing,

but, um, I'm not snitchin'

on nobody in Harlem

'cause when I come home,

I'm still gonna be the King.

Meanwhile,

Janet sat by the phone,

but no more calls came.

Mitch had it right about Ice.

His uncle was the one

not looking out for family.

His bitterness

towards his nephew Mitch

was taken out on his other

nephew Sonny.

His own blood.

Tommy did Ice's dirty work.

When the ransom money didn't come,

he killed Sonny.

The game was over.

All right, you know what I'm sayin'?

Now there's a new game.

Us old players are gone.

But you can see our story

on music videos

with prop guns

and fake champagne.

I guess you don't have to be

somebody no more.

I guess you can just front like

you somebody you ain't.

I have a family.

Lulu's bag of diamonds made

a down payment on a new life.

As my man Mitch would say,

"Life is good."

Maybe I will be the George Jefferson

of the neighborhood.

I'll get back to you on that.

Like "what?"

looking down here like--

Look at the world like

down here like "what?

Money, money.

Action!

Battle physically.

Conquer mentally.

Battle physically.

Conquer mentally.

Battle physically.

Conquer mentally.
