Let's go!
Let me through! I'll do the bitch!
Clear!
Police! Get out! Come on!
- Nothing here! - Let's get out of here!
Come here. Hold on. Keep your head down.
Scotty!
Where the hell are you?
Touch him, it blows.
- Do this. - There's too many wires.
Pick one.
Come on!
Light! I can't see! Give me a light!
Hold it there.
Scotty, on 3...
...I want you to slowly, gently pull out the blue wire.
One.
One's the ground.
Which?
- I don't know! - 3 seconds left!
I knew it! You ain't nothing but a high-priced whore.
Put Nino on, bitch.
It's for you.
What's up?
I know you're having a good time, but we were infiltrated.
We shut down the Carter.
Get your ass out here right now!
Now!
Stop!
What happened?
Don't nobody know nothing?
Don't everybody speak at once.
How the motherfucker get in?
Out of all you motherfuckers, nobody knows jack shit?
The Duh Duh Man. Duh Duh, what happened?
I'll be a motherfucker.
Don't nobody know nothing?
What up with this?
Somebody got to know something was going on.
See what I'm saying?
Ain't that right, Gee Money?
I think Gee Money definitely knows something.
Gee Money knows something.
You fucked up. You fucked up bigtime.
You're incapable of running this shit.
Sit your five-dollar ass down before I make change.
Kareem brought him to my attention.
We got 300 employees.
I can't keep my eye on all of them.
If you was taking care of business...
What? If I was what? Say it again!
What?!
Nothing.
That's what I thought you said. Because that's what I got, nothing!
A million-dollar-a-week business reduced to rubbish!
It's your responsibility.
I never liked you anyway, pretty motherfucker.
What's the matter, Gee? What's up with you?
Why are you letting some shit like who I'm laying the pipe to fuck with you?
You're bigger than that.
Something like this can never happen again.
Now...
...leave me.
Get the fuck out.
What Gee Money has brought together...
...let no man put asunder.
I now pronounce us man...
...and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
Be not deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters...
...nor adulterers, nor abusers of themselves with mankind...
...shall inherit the kingdom of God.
May your soul rest in peace.
Goodbye, Pookie.
The Commissioner's been on my ass all night.
Washington is blaming us for losing thousands of dollars in man-hours.
Not to mention all the cops we got killed.
The operation was a failure.
We didn't arrest anyone. No one, man.
We didn't get any evidence. Nothing. No financial records, nothing.
We still could be out there fighting scum like Nino Brown...
...except for two things:
I gambled on you, and you gambled on a crackhead.
Fuck that!
That's enough, man!
I'm sorry you lost your budget. But I lost a friend.
Let it go.
Operation's over.
It's over.
It ain't over. Pookie didn't die for nothing.
Operation's gone...
...Nino's loose, Pookie is dead.
I got Pookie killed.
Cut out this self-pitying shit about you killing Pookie.
If anyone killed him it was me. I could see it.
How you going to tell me you killed Pookie?
Do you remember when you said I didn't care?
When what the hell was I doing at Pookie's funeral anyway? Remember?
I used to be Pookie.
How the hell you used to be Pookie?
I was a poor white-trash Pookie.
This whole drug shit, it's not a black thing, it's not a white thing.
It's a death thing. Death doesn't give a shit about color.
You don't have to like me.
I don't even know if I like you.
But we're in this together now, partner.
You know, a drug dealer is the worst kind of brother.
He won't sell it to his sister. He won't sell it to his mother.
But he'll sell it to his boys in the street.
I don't know about you...
...but I'm ready to kill Nino Brown.
Are you with me?
I'm ahead of you.
Behind door number 1, your head explodes like a melon.
Behind door 2, you hook us up with Gee Money and get the prize, Nino Brown.
Let's make a deal.
You and me always had an understanding. Besides, I needed a haircut, right?
My cugino and his friend are hungry.
And I got a feeling that they can cut you a sweeter deal...
...than any Peruvian.
Enough to maybe throw in a finder's fee for me.
If I swim with this offer...
You wanted to meet the main man, that's done. From now on you deal with me...
...and me only.
You will cut me a side deal.
20 percent.
And you will be obligated to report to me...
...and me only.
Give me your number.
Don Armeteo.
Nino is about to itch.
- What the fuck is up? - What's up? Play ball, that's what.
Check!
Can I help you?
I'm here to see Gee Money.
- What's up with these elbows? - Sucker!
I don't know you.
You know him?
Hold up. I know him. He's cool.
Ease back, playboy. Ease back.
How you feeling, Gee Money, my man?
What's up with your man?
Pat him down.
Pat him down!
It's like that?
What the fuck is this?
I don't know you, that's what.
I know you're my man's new contact...
...but I don't trust you.
So since you're interrupting my game, get the fuck out.
Mr. Money?
Please escort Mr. Washington off the court. Take him down the block.
And if this dreadlocked boomboorah even blinks wrong...
...you lullaby his ass.
Don't forget what we talked about before at Frankie's.
I'm definitely going to be the next king.
Yo, Keish, I seen that boy somewhere before.
That's right, I checked him out myself. He cooler than a fan.
And the product is 60% cheaper than what the brothers is paying now.
That will free up a whole lot of money...
... to do a lot of other things.
Like, maybe take over another city project?
All right, let's roll with it.
We build and get stronger.
Most definite. Most definite.
Money, I'll tell you something.
If he's not who he says he is...
...l'll kill him.
Then I'll kill you.
I don't trust Mr. Washington. So I want him to stick to me like flies to shit.
When I was young, I was a member of this gang called the L.A. Boys.
- Lennox Ave. - You know it.
The leader, Jughead, told me to prove my loyalty, I had to snuff somebody out.
It was like, "No problem."
I said, "An enemy?" He said, "No, that's too easy."
"It's got to be an ordinary mo."
So I rode down to 23rd.
Copped me a bag of that Red Devil angel dust.
I got so zooted.
I walked up on this lady. She must have been a schoolteacher or something.
I was so fucking crazy, man, I didn't even care.
I stepped to her.
I didn't even stay to see her body drop.
I just ran.
You must think I'm a demon.
I guess what you was doing...
...it was like business, right?
It wasn't personal.
My brother...
...it's always business.
Never personal.
- Tell your moms I want some bean pies. - Can I get some?
Come on in, little man.
Two for you.
- Hold up, pop. - Get your butt out of here, now.
I can take care of you too, old man.
You better take care of yourself, because you an ignorant bastard.
You committing genocide on your people...
...with these silk suits and fancy cars.
Step off, grandpa.
Idol worshiper.
You killing your own people with the white devils you put in that bottle.
You an idolater.
Reverend Oates, why are you with this scum?
Shut up!
Nino, let me smoke this old dude.
Look at you.
In 2 years, they'll be marking your gravesite.
Me? I'll be right here.
All you kids, get out of here!
These kids...
...all these people gather around you like you God Almighty.
Like you love them.
Devils ain't got no love.
You're killing your people.
What can you offer them?
Another "I have a dream" speech?
Some of that same shit you ripping off to me?
Look where we at. Not a pot to piss in, nor a window to throw it out of.
You's the fool, old man.
Don't try it, old man. Don't even think about.
You don't understand, do you?
Idolater, you reap what you sow!
This is some fly shit.
Some George Raft- some James Cagney-type shit.
You know what I'm saying?
- That's how you living, baby. - Living large, brother.
Good looking out this afternoon with that madness.
Gee Money should've seen it coming.
Old man really wanted to do me, didn't he?
Old bastard.
But here's something you might not find so funny.
Your boy Gee Money tried to cut a side deal with me.
You can't trust anybody these days.
You can trust me. I got your back.
Thank you.
Now Reverend Oates will say a few words to the happy couple.
You got to wait till somebody else gets some too, okay?
Before we eat up all this cake, we ought to give a toast...
...to my daughter, my new son-in-law and our gracious host...
...Mr. Nino Brown.
I got something for you.
That's my business card. Call me sometime.
Hey, what's up? You still mad at me?
Fuck you, then.
- Where is the Duh Duh Man? - Probably after that skeezer he was on.
What's up with Selina?
I don't know. Losing her mind, that's what's up.
You think I care? This is my world, my money...
...and that's my skeezer.
Hi, Daddy.
Thank you, mister.
Cover me!
Throw me a gun!
Get down!
Motherfuckers!
You're a murderer, Nino!
I've seen you kill too many people!
Cancel that bitch.
I'll buy another one.
I hate you!
I hate you, Nino!
Don Armeteo's on the phone for you.
We made you. We gave you everything.
Shagazzy's, the Spotlite, the street corners.
So you got cute. You had to get spanked.
Now you listen to me. I made this. Me.
I own this city, you slicked-back, greasy-haired...
... son of a bitch!
You're fucked!
This bulletin just in.
In a scene to rival the famed St. Valentine's Day Massacre...
... of 1920's Chicago...
... Don Armeteo, reputed crime lord, and 10 of his henchmen...
... were gunned down this afternoon...
I put you two together. And you guys go off on your own...
...and now you want to come back.
You're telling me the disk I took isn't important?
I'm telling you, I hope it is important.
This is Hawkins.
We go back to law school. She's the prosecuting attorney.
The son of a bitch used a little girl as a bulletproof vest.
Watch your language. Nino is going to fall.
- What about the Pookie video? - It helps, but it's not enough.
Nino isn't in any of the tapes at the Carter.
He's becoming Mr. Untouchable.
How many more got to get killed? I could have smoked this fool myself.
Can we catch him in a drug buy? Or get a witness who will testify...
...to connect all the dots?
Nino's got great connections. Can we nail any of them and tie them to Nino?
Check this out.
We got it set up so the CMB brothers will buy from us.
And I also got it so Nino Brown definitely doesn't trust Gee Money.
And we'll get it on videotape.
What's up, fellows?
Got the bucks?
So nice of you to make it. Know what I'm saying?
What can I say?
What's taking him so long?
Nino's not moving. Shit.
Let's do this.
Open the briefcase.
Easy.
Very easy.
I thought we was friends.
I told you, it's never personal, B.
Friends is friends. This is business.
Let's see the sample.
Whatever.
All here, baby.
I knew I knew Washington. He's 5-0.
Suck-ass motherfucker.
Punch it! Just do it!
You cut a side deal with that motherfucker.
Yes, you did. Yes, you did, Gee.
Fucking Cain.
My brother's keeper.
Was it this...
...glass dick you've been sucking on?
Was that it? Now I see how you let that motherfucker infiltrate.
He used you, Gee.
What ever happened to, "Am I my brother's keeper?"
You know what happened to it.
"The world is mine."
Remember that?
"Everything is mine. Everything!"
Even my woman.
Is that what this is about?
That fucking skeezer?
You think I give a fuck about her?
Fuck that ho bitch! I don't give a fuck about her!
It ain't about her.
It's about us.
I love you, man.
You embarrassed me, man!
In front of all them people, you treated me like I was soft.
You treated me like I was spineless!
We built this shit! You didn't do this shit by yourself!
You forgot about me, man, your brother.
What has this done to us?
Keisha...
...dead.
The Duh Duh Man...
...dead.
Let's just make it like it was.
Let's be a family. Let's make it like it was.
Fuck them cars and them bitches and all that shit.
Fuck that shit!
Let's do us, me and you. Let's be a family again.
I'm on the run.
It can never go back the way it was.
But I'll tell you how we can make it right.
CMB.
CMB!
We all we got.
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes, I am.
You know where Nino Brown lives?
You heard my man. I ain't telling you shit.
Last summer, me and my boys won this basketball tournament.
Bought the whole team brand-new red scooters. So you can kiss my ass.
Kiss my ass with that.
You know something, B? This dude is a cop. 5-0! B, out!
Come here, punk!
I know where Nino lives.
He beat this kid who scrambled for him with a bat.
Poured gas on him and set him on fire...
...after he shorted him $5.
I hope you kill his black, hardened ass.
He's in apartment 6C.
But watch out. He got bodyguards on the roof.
Say hello to my little friend.
Buckwheat.
Punk!
Kill him!
How the hell can you wear this and sell poison to our people? You ain't shit!
Toss him down to me.
That teacher you killed? That was my mother!
Kick his black ass!
These are the people you squash and kill with no retribution.
Get your ass up.
This ain't business, bitch. This is personal.
I want to shoot you so bad, my dick's hard.
Coming through, excuse me.
We'll do this the right way.
I'll testify.
Even if it means my life, I will testify.
Come on.
We can't go out like this.
Put the gun down.
Don't throw your life away on a piece of shit.
Give me the gun. I'll do it.
I'll be out in a week.
You're a dead man.
Was the defendant, Mr. Nino Brown, head of the CMB?
Remove the hat and the sunglasses.
Detective Appleton, when you infiltrated the CMB...
...did the defendant, Mr. Nino Brown...
...attempt to buy two and a half kilos of cocaine from you?
Did he? Can Michael Jordan slam-dunk?
Of course he did. He's a dope dealer.
That's what they do, buy and sell dope.
I'm not guilty.
You're the one who's guilty.
You lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian drug lords...
...all you who lobby against making drugs legal.
Just like you did with alcohol during Prohibition.
You're the one who's guilty.
Let's kick the ballistics here.
Ain't no Uzis made in Harlem.
Not one of us in here owns a poppy field.
This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. This is big business.
This is the American way.
I'm sure that the court was enlightened...
...by your geopolitical tirade.
Unfortunately, society at large is not on trial here.
You are, Mr. Brown.
Were you or were you not...
...head of the narcotics consortium, the murderously bloody...
...CMB?
I could not hear you. Would you please speak up?
Yes, I was a member.
But I was forced into this way of life.
I've been dealing drugs ever since I was 12 years old.
I didn't have the chances that you have, Miss Hawkins.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, Miss Hawkins.
I wanted to get out, but they threatened to kill my mother.
Who are you talking about, Mr. Brown? What "they"?
They.
Look at him. Kareem Akbar.
That's right, the educated brother from the bank. He's the head of the CMB.
The brains behind the whole thing.
This is bigger than Nino Brown, and I got a list to prove it.
If I'm going down, I'm taking a lot of people with me.
Order in the court!
Your Honor, may counsel approach the bench?
- What's going on? - I don't know.
What's the discussion?
The court is not pleased with this application.
You understand that by pleading guilty to a lesser charge...
...the court, under law, can impose a sentence of 3 years to life...
...with parole eligibility after 12 months. Do you understand?
Absolutely.
How could you let this happen?
We wanted some of the crack off the streets. I wanted Nino too.
He gave up his connections and Powell wanted to make the deal.
Let's go.
This court is now adjourned.
What? All he gets is a year?
This ain't happening.
I should have killed you myself, bitch.
That's the difference between you and me.
Don't get mad, Tito. It's the law.
Sucks, huh?
When this is over with, you can come and work for me.
Did you turn state's evidence?
Did you sell out CMB?
You pleased with the outcome?
Absolutely. The American justice system is the greatest in the world.
I'm proud to be an American.
- Hi, Mom. - Idolater!
Your soul is required in hell!
