but I didn't really care,

'cause I felt like

I had been all over the world.

Just 'cause I ain't been to the Sunset Strip

don't mean I don't wanna travel.

So when you get your money,

where you gonna go?

There's this spot

I read about.

It's on the coast of Mexico.

It's called El Lindo.

And they say that there's magic

there in the ground.

Everything you do is blessed.

All your past is buried.

And all your pain

is forgotten.

That's where I wanna go.

I want you to have something.

What?

We don't need to let this one go.

Take this with you to Mexico.

How's it look on me?

It's beautiful.

Thanks.

I just think of so many more things

I could be doing to find my son.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

There is nothing else

you can do right now,

except for wait

for Lucky to call.

Junior's gonna be fine.

Listen to me.

Junior's gonna be fine. Okay?

All right.

Okay.

-I can't do this right now.

-Come here.

In an unusual story,

three banks were robbed today

by an unidentified

man and woman.

It has been impossible to determine

what the robbers have taken

because the items stolen

were taken from safe deposit boxes.

The police are

investigating leads

and are confident that

the perpetrators will be apprehended.

However, bank officials

have stated

the robberies appear

to have been well planned.

I want those motherfuckers.

Sh*t is all my fault.

O, don't do this to yourself.

You know all that money

that Big Meat is after?

I took it.

What?

Me and Meat did a job.

He tried to short me.

So I took what was mine.

He found out about it,

set me up.

I went to the pen.

He thought he knew where I stashed my take,

but I moved it.

He started looking for it.

He started getting closer.

So I knew I had to move it again.

And the only person I

can trust was my baby mama.

So she came down to see me.

I told her where it was at,

where to move it to.

She dropped Junior off at my

grandmother's house, took my money.

I ain't seen her since.

You know the first thing

my son said to me when I got out?

"Promise me you ain't gonna

ever leave me again."

I promised.

Everybody you can

think of came at me.

Money, credit cards. Just...

Just couldn't do it.

'Cause I made a promise.

Who is Miles?

My son.

You have a son?

I had a son.

What happened?

He died.

How did he die?

He was hit by a stray bullet.

I was in a building, on a run.

I told him to play outside.

"Be right back."

And I remember

hearing gunshots

and thinking,

"Just niggas killing

each other again."

When I came outside,

I heard this lady, she was...

She was screaming, "Where is his mother?

Where is his mother?"

Where was his mother?

Lucky.

Change of plans.

I can't come to you.

Meet me at Imperial

Highway Bridge right now.

Hurry up.

-We gotta go.

-Let's go.

What up, man?

-What's up, homey?

-Get in.

-F*** wrong with you?

-Nothing.

Just had a little run-in

with some niggas.

-There a problem?

-They weren't sh*t.

Come on, what you got, man?

How much you want for this?

I think it's worth like

I'll let it go for 90.

Think you can handle that?

I hear you got my money.

I got something worth a lot more

than what I owe you, Big Meat.

$200,000 right there.

But check it out.

All you gotta do, break me off $90,000,

and we good, man. We even.

-I can do that.

-Cool.

But where'd you get it?

Oh, you see, me and my boys, man,

-Beverly Hills, huh?

-Man, we took them G-style.

Straight up G-style.

What? I came

through the spot,

boom, I kicked in the motherfucking door.

I told motherfuckers,

"Get the f*** on the floor right now, nigga.

It's a jack move!"

I was running through that motherf***er,

smacking up b*tch-ass niggas

with no problem.

You know, I'm taking care of my sh*t.

I'm over there,

just snatching sh*t.

Snatching whatever I want,

'cause that's what I do.

I ought to take your sh*t,

nigga.

Now I bring this sh*t back to you,

man, so we can break bread.

-To me?

-To you.

So me and you,

we could be like partners.

Exactly. Business partners.

Y'all hear that? Partners.

We need to leave these buster-ass

niggas alone, f*** with your boy.

-Big Meat and Lucky.

-Big Meat, Lucky.

-Yeah.

-That's what's up.

Well, this some nice sh*t.

-Especially this watch.

-Yeah.

-Presidential.

-Only the best.

So let me ask you

-What?

-Yeah. Right here.
