01:31You want to talk about it?
01:32I'm fine.
01:33No, you're not.
01:34I don't know you, and you don't know me or what I'm going through.
01:37Yes, I do.

02:17God's work is at hand.
02:20She's conceived with the Holy Spirit.
02:24She's going to have a son, and he's going to go on to do great things.

03:17Sacrifice your morals or die by the code?
03:19We live in a world where anything goes.
03:21We are the chosen ones.
03:23We are the chosen ones.

03:39I woke up this morning, I'm blessed.
03:41Said they were looking for the real.
03:43They cut out the bronze.
03:44I'm all that was left.

04:12But you're the best I've had in a while.
04:14And I mean that.
04:16Well, let's do this again sometime, alright?
04:18I'll give you my number, but only hit me up on Instagram.
04:20Okay, dope.
04:32Okay.
04:50God, please help me.
04:56I can't do this anymore.

05:54There's no need to be afraid.
05:58You can make it.
06:01Anything is possible.
06:05If you believe.
06:09I don't know what to do.
06:11I don't know what to do.
06:13You're already doing it.
06:16Just keep going.
06:31Everyone's coming, right?
06:35Street. Money.
06:37Everyone.
06:47So what you thinking?
06:49What's this about?
06:51Don't know.
06:53Thinking maybe it's a set up.
06:55Maybe it's a set up.
06:57Don't know.
06:59Thinking maybe it's a set up.
07:01If it is,
07:03I'm going out banking.
07:15Players everywhere.
07:28How you doing, player?
07:33Okay.
07:35Alright.
07:39We're in five minutes.
07:41Well, this shows up.
07:43Hey.
07:45I know you.
07:47No, you don't.
07:49You're Will, right?
07:51Will.
07:53Will.
07:58Will, you get out of my face.
08:01Better watch that mouth.
08:05I'm a nice guy, but you might get hurt.
08:09Grace, let's move this along.
08:13Just be patient.
08:15What am I doing here?
08:17Trouble, right?
08:19Depends if you're looking for it or not.
08:22Is that your nickname or are you really trouble?
08:26This turns out to be a waste of my time.
08:28We're going to have to work that out.
08:30If somebody hears due reimbursement, it's me.
08:32The petty thief.
08:34Thought you was locked up.
08:36Nathaniel.
08:38Where's my money?
08:40I don't know what this is.
08:42I know you didn't think I was going to give it to you, right?
08:48Nathaniel.
08:50Nathaniel.
08:52Nathaniel.
08:54Nathaniel.
08:56Thanks.
08:58No thanks.
09:00I wouldn't do that if I were you, preacher.
09:02Exactly what would you do?
09:06Grace.
09:07Oh my God, is that a pimp?
09:09What are you calling a pimp, Mr. Miyagi?
09:11Oh, that's real original, Rick James.
09:17Get out of my face.
09:21If something doesn't happen in the next five minutes, I'm out of here.
09:23Singing in the rain.
09:25Just singing in the rain.
09:28What a glorious feeling.
09:35Happy.
09:37Now?
09:44Hey, my friend.
09:46Money is the king of the world.
09:49Isn't that right?
09:51The one and only.
09:53I have a business proposition to talk to you about.
09:57You see, that's not what I do.
09:59I facilitate.
10:01He understands, sir.
10:03Next time, don't touch me.
10:05Gentlemen.
10:09Will.
10:12Street.
10:16Money.
10:18Thank you all for coming.
10:21I guess you want to know why you've all been gathered here.
10:26You're the chosen ones.
10:27Chosen to do what?
10:29Chosen to do something that could change the world as we know it.
10:32Uh, what choice?
10:34Did it mean something?
10:36Shut up, friend. You let the man finish talking.
10:39Shut up, Money. Nobody here works for you.
10:41What?
10:42Oh, you don't like that, huh?
10:43No, I don't.
10:44Why don't you pay somebody to do something about it?
10:45Why don't you just...
10:46You know, if you have a problem, I'd love to hear about it, Will.
10:48Seems like you two got problems.
10:50I'm good.
10:52I ain't.
10:53Gentlemen, there's no need to fight.
10:56At least for free, there's not.
10:57Everybody calm down.
11:00Everything will be explained in just a moment.
11:02But...
11:03Now, please.
11:05Y'all be patient.
11:20Holla at a pimp.
11:22When you see one.
11:24Peace.
11:25Nice seeing you, gentlemen.
11:26Hope to never see you again.
11:28I'm sorry.
11:29Good.
11:30Get out.
11:31Peace.
11:32Peace.
11:33Peace.
11:34Peace.
11:35Peace.
11:36Peace.
11:37Peace.
11:38Peace.
11:39Peace.
11:40Peace.
11:41Peace.
11:42Peace.
11:43Peace.
11:44Peace.
11:45Peace.
11:46Peace.
11:48Peace.
11:49Get out.
12:07Money?
12:11Fish?
12:17Is that him?
12:20Beyond, beyond, beyond.
12:22If it ain't God himself.
12:24Thanks for keeping us waiting.
12:26I never said I was God.
12:27No, just his son.
12:29Exactly.
12:33Come on.
12:38You can't possibly be who they say you are.
12:40Who do they say I am?
12:42You look a little light to me.
12:44The street's right.
12:45You don't look so different.
12:47The street's right.
12:48You don't look so different.
12:55I never said I was different.
12:58You did.
13:01It's a waste of my time.
13:04Better start talking.
13:05You're losing your audience.
13:08Will.
13:12You're a good man, Will.
13:13It's just a shame I'm not one another.
13:18You do know I'm in trouble, right?
13:21Professional thief.
13:23Best in the biz, right?
13:25I mean, this guy could take the ring off a woman's hand
13:27while she was holding a cup of coffee.
13:29A Picasso out the Louvre.
13:30A gold brick out of Fort Knox.
13:33What y'all don't know about him is
13:36he takes from the haves to give to the have-nots.
13:40I just can't seem to figure out why he keeps ticking.
13:43This gentleman right here is the most dangerous guy in this room.
13:46Mac.
13:48Got a mouth on him, too.
13:50Don't take him lightly.
13:53He could hurt you.
13:58Was it the Lopez family?
14:00The Diaz boys broke in.
14:02I think it was Christmas.
14:03Stole all their stuff.
14:04You hunted them down like dogs.
14:05You killed them.
14:06You killed them.
14:07You killed them.
14:08You killed them.
14:09You killed them.
14:10You killed them.
14:11You killed them.
14:12You hunted them down like dogs.
14:14Took everything they had
14:15and some extras, if I remember correctly.
14:19What are you talking about?
14:21There was Joneses, Clarkses, Henrys.
14:26You help a lot of people.
14:31Don't you, Mac?
14:33How do you know that?
14:37You hurt a lot, too.
14:43Fish.
14:46Song and dance.
14:47I mean, this guy.
14:49Here for you.
14:50This man.
14:51You are the most corrupt person in this room.
14:55I mean, he has a supermarket chain.
15:00He takes 50% of the profits
15:04and feeds the homeless.
15:07With 1,000% markup, I give up.
15:10I give up.
15:12I guess that's okay.
15:14That's what it is.
15:18It's something, all right.
15:25Look, dude.
15:27You are freaking me out.
15:29I don't know who you are
15:31or what this is all about,
15:33but I want out.
15:34I know who you are.
15:38You're the richest man in the world.
15:40Right?
15:42Trillionaire or something.
15:44This guy.
15:45He can buy all of us.
15:48If we were for sale.
15:55You could take 10% of the money you make
15:57and end hunger, but you won't.
16:00Why is that?
16:02How many houses and boats and cars can you buy
16:06that should hang you?
16:13Still a player, huh?
16:25The good news, gentlemen,
16:26is that there's better.
16:29Isn't that right, Grace?
16:32Isn't that you?
16:37There's better.
16:39There's better.
16:43You just gotta want it.
16:44Okay, okay, fine.
16:47It's obvious.
16:49At least it is to me.
16:50No matter what the question is,
16:52you seem to have all the answers.
16:56My question for you is,
17:01what could you possibly want from us?
17:06What do you want?
17:09Everything.
17:13What do we get in return?
17:18Everything.
17:20What, are you supposed to be the Riddler?
17:25So let me get this straight.
17:28In order for us to have everything,
17:31we must give up everything
17:33and follow you, right?
17:35That's right, right?
17:36That's right, right?
17:43Yes, that's right.
17:49Everyone here has a purpose.
17:52Imagine if yours was to save the world.
17:56Kayla, I see you.
17:57Go home.
17:59No, you said you would play with me.
18:02Bishop.
18:04What's up?
18:05What's up?
18:06What's good?
18:07Oh, nothing much, you know,
18:08just moving that stuff you gave us,
18:10doing my job.
18:12I'm sending Venom to come by and pick it up.
18:14Ooh, today,
18:17today's not really a good day.
18:19See, my parents are home,
18:20and it's just, it's not,

18:23I need my money, Flex.
18:26I've given you 12 hours,
18:28not a second more.
18:3112 hours?
18:33Bishop, we have,
18:34we haven't sold anything.
18:35It's been slow.
18:36I need more time.
18:37I need at least a week.
18:39Bishop?
18:49Okay.
18:51Y'all holding?
18:53Let me see what you got.
18:59I'm sorry.
19:02Jacob.
19:05I know you got something.
19:08You serious?
19:10It was slow.
19:11Slow?
19:13That's all you got from me, slow?
19:17Yeah.
19:21Tell me you sold something.
19:26Tell me.
19:27One of y'all sold something.
19:29Something.
19:33Tell me.
19:34Flex.
19:36What?
19:3712 o'clock.
19:45Is he with you?
19:53What can I do you for?
19:59Tell me he's with you.
20:01Tell me he's with you.
20:03Come on, come on, somebody.
20:08I mean, are you gonna speak up?
20:09Are you deaf?
20:10What?
20:13Okay, okay.
20:15You got five seconds
20:17to get out of my face.
20:20Can I help you?
20:25No?
20:27I can help you, though.
20:31How can you help me?
20:36How can you help me?
20:56How can you help me?
21:19Jacob?
21:22Ashley?
21:24Keyon?
21:27Hey.
21:29Let's go.
21:35I need the dope.
21:56I need the dope.
22:20Hey!
22:21Are you him?
22:24The King of Kings?
22:27The Holy One?
22:31Son of God?
22:34Well, are you?
22:35Why do you ask?
22:36Because you're gonna need to be.
22:41I was sent to deliver a message.
22:44The brother of Mary and Martha is deathly ill.
22:46Brother of Mary?
22:51She seems to think that you can do something about it.
22:54He's probably dead already.
22:56This is a waste of time.
22:57Forget I even came here.
22:58Eat.
22:59What?
23:02Eat?
23:03Did you hear anything I said?
23:04I heard everything you said.
23:10Okay.
23:14Sit with me.
23:17Eat.
23:23Eat.
23:29Look.
23:31We gotta get going.
23:32There isn't much time.
23:33We've got plenty of time.
23:36Plenty.
23:41His sickness will not lead to death.
23:45It's an opportunity.
23:47And when they bear witness, they will know.
23:54Know what?
24:00Eat.
24:23Eat.
24:40Where have you been?
24:41What took you so long?
24:44He's been dead for days.
24:45It's too late.
24:49He's gone.
24:50Gone?
25:20Gone.
25:46That's it?
25:48That's it?
25:52Oh, my God.
25:54Oh, my God.
25:55Oh, my God.
25:57It's okay.
25:58It's okay.
26:01It's okay.
26:09Hi.
26:17Hi.
26:41The question is, what the hell are you going to do with this?
26:47I don't know.
26:59So the question is, what are you going to do about it?
27:07About what?
27:08Protecting our block.
27:10He's messing with our business, the way we do things.
27:13She's right.
27:15The street's stalking.
27:17The street's stalking.
27:26He's just a clown with his circus tricks.
27:31He's cost us enough strife.
27:34And he has to be stopped.
27:36How?
27:38They all say he has no wants.
27:47My point exactly.
27:49He's getting stronger.
27:50So something has yet to get done.
27:53So you're telling me,
27:56the Chosen One
27:58chosen to hang out with a bunch of outlaws.
28:05So it seems.
28:07About twelve of them.
28:08Twelve of them.
28:15What are you going to do about it?
28:19It's going to take everyone we got.
28:23If you don't do something, I'll do it myself.
28:30I'm already on it.
28:35Hey.
28:37Get the boys together.
28:40We're going to have us a little party.
29:07Hi.
29:08Hi.
29:10I just wanted to say thank you.
29:19I cannot remember
29:23the last time I felt like this.
29:33I'm thankful for you.
29:41I'm sorry, my lord.
29:44But we need to talk.
29:47Privately.
29:50I'll see you around.
29:56Okay, I'm sorry.
29:57Start talking, Grace.
29:59I've spoken to the Chosen Ones.
30:01And?
30:02They still don't believe.
30:04Look, they want to believe.
30:05I mean, it's just...
30:07They've never seen anything like this before.
30:11Like you before.
30:16Fish is talking to Preacher,
30:17so they may be on board.
30:20Then there's Philip,
30:21Street and Money,
30:23and several others who know of you
30:26and want to believe, but...
30:29But what?
30:31But what?
30:33But they need to see more.
30:37They always need to see more.
30:40Well, maybe.
30:43We can just get everybody together.
30:44We did that.
30:45What?
30:47We can do something cool like...
30:48Like walk on water?
30:53You're right.
30:54That's right.
30:55Walk on water.
30:57So they can see it for themselves.
30:59Right.
31:00Like I did. Like he did.
31:03Like I did.
31:09No matter what I seem to do,
31:10it can never be enough.
31:13It never seems to be enough.
31:14My Lord.
31:19I'll do anything for you, My Lord.
31:23Just tell me what you need.
31:29The time is now.
31:31Reach out to the Chosen Ones.
31:34Either with me or they're not.
31:37All of them?
31:39All of them.
31:41Let's see who shows up.
32:04Woof, woof, woof, woof.
32:18Argh.
32:23Aye.
32:29Woof, woof.
32:34There you are.
32:36You know I've been looking for you all day.
32:40Get in this truck.
32:42I have a few questions for you.
32:45Get in the truck!
32:48You too, old man. Get in the truck.
32:52Let's go, man.
32:53It's all right.
33:04It's real tight back here.
33:06I hear he's the real deal.
33:08Think he is when he ain't?
33:10Healing the sick.
33:11Raising the dead.
33:13Giving sight to the blind.
33:14Oh, man.
33:15White people.
33:33Hi.

36:21and try to ask for something.
36:22You don't know me, man.
36:23Yes, but you don't go put this in somebody's face
36:25and try to ask for something you don't deserve.
36:30Y'all see that?
36:33Yeah.
36:34Yeah.
36:37I don't know what that is,
36:39and I don't care.
36:40I can sit here and meditate all y'all want.
36:44All I know is,
36:46I'm winning.
36:54You need help?
36:56Somebody's going to come and help you.
36:59A stranger.
37:01Do yourself a favor and let him.
37:15You all right?
37:19You hungry?
37:21You hungry?
37:24Let go, man.
37:26Let's get you cleaned up.
37:28You said...
37:30You said you was going to call me.
37:32Yeah, you say a lot of things.
37:34Come on, man. Let's go.
37:35It didn't work, man.
37:37I tried to shoot.
37:50Oh, my God.
37:56Oh, my God.
38:13Hi, Mary.
38:16They said you need to speak to me.
38:18How can we help you?
38:19Let her speak.
38:20I know you're the chosen one,
38:23but there are some people out there who don't like that.
38:26They want to see you killed.
38:27We ain't afraid.
38:30God is with us.
38:32Who can be against us?
38:33Hallelujah.
38:34They come before us, let them come.
38:35You don't understand how dangerous they are.
38:38They'll kill you.
38:39Or get killed.
38:40Something needs to be done before anybody else gets hurt.
38:43If what she's saying is true,
38:45it's a matter of time before they find out where we are.
38:47We have time.
38:48Maybe we don't.
38:49Why do you say that?
38:50I'm just saying, maybe they followed her.
38:52They didn't.
38:53We're not hiding.
38:54Bang, bang, bang.
38:55Hold on a second.
38:57Don't worry about us, Mary.
38:58We can handle ourselves.
39:00Yeah, we can.
39:01I know you can.
39:06But look what they've done to him.
39:17Tell me what you see.
39:47What?
40:08So.
40:11You're going to start talking.
40:13You're going to get the same as him.
40:15Understood?
40:18Now, where is he?
40:20Who?
40:23I'm not known for my patience.
40:25I don't know who you're talking about.
40:27Really, I don't.
40:29Well, that's too bad.
40:32Maybe OG knows.
40:35It's alright.
40:37Let's start over again.
40:40Where is he?
40:48Kill him.
40:50Wait.
40:53I know who you're talking about.
40:55I just don't know where he is.
40:57Liar!
40:58You're lying!
41:00I know everything.
41:03I know you two were seen together.
41:06And what gives him the authority
41:08to walk around like a bullet can't touch him?
41:11Prancing around like he's the chosen one.
41:13Is that what he says?
41:16I'm not going to ask you again.
41:21God.
41:23No, it's Bishop.
41:30God is the one who gives him the authority.
41:33God is the one who gives him strength.
41:36God.
41:38God.
41:39God is the one who gives him strength.
41:41God.
41:43So, uh,
41:45you're telling me
41:47he must be the son of God then?
41:56She's not serious.
42:01You can't be serious.
42:06Wait.
42:10You're serious?
42:13And if I were you, I'd be careful.
42:17And as I told you, I have not seen him.
42:25What about you, old man?
42:29I suppose you don't know nothing either.
42:32You think I'm scared of you?
42:35I'm not.
42:37I better run.
42:39I've been around a long time.
42:42I've seen a lot of things.
42:44I've seen a man riddled with 28 bullets
42:47for a debt he didn't pay.
42:49A woman's face blown off
42:51from the shotgun of a jealous husband.
42:54I've seen the severed head
42:56of a man who raped a drug dealer's mother.
42:58I'm an OG.
43:02If you know anything about OGs,
43:04we don't snitch.
43:06You want to know where he is?
43:07Go find him yourself,
43:09because I don't know.
43:10Hey!
43:13Not another word.
43:18You ain't seen nothing, huh?
43:22Well, maybe this will help.
43:34I've seen many things.
43:38A lot of them beautiful.
43:44But now,
43:47nothing.
43:50Just a living hell.
43:56If you're truly the son of God,
44:01where's God in that?
44:03Where's God in that?
44:06If there is a God,
44:12why would he let this happen to me?
44:22You say you've seen beautiful things.
44:27And now,
44:30nothing.
44:33Nothing.
44:39Bishop has not taken your sight.
44:44You've hardened your heart
44:47and let your light dim.
44:54When the sun warms your face,
44:58is that not God?
45:00When that water quenches your thirst,
45:02is that not God?
45:06When that beautiful woman,
45:08whose endless love and unconditional caring
45:12flows like the river Nile,
45:16is that not proof that there is a God?
45:30You see,
45:33you've been blind your whole life.
45:42Those of us cannot see God because we do not seek him.
45:47You cannot find what you're not looking for.
45:54Open your eyes, man.
46:01Open your eyes.
46:13You say they're looking for me?
46:24Let's go see what they want.
46:31Oh, dear God.
46:34What is it?
47:00Power, everybody wanted.
47:02Respect, everybody wanted.
47:04Connects, everybody wanted.
47:06Wanted.
47:08How far are you willing to go?
47:10Sacrifice your morals or die by the code?
47:12We live in a world where anything goes.
47:14We're the chosen ones.
47:16We're the chosen ones.
47:18We're the chosen ones.
47:20We're the chosen ones.
47:22We're the chosen ones.
47:24We're the chosen ones.
47:26We're the chosen ones.
47:28We're the chosen, chosen, chosen.
