00:30Previously on Raising Kanan.
00:34What happened?
00:35We gotta get the fuck out of here.
00:37When he wakes up, he could be different than who he was before.
00:40It's not unusual for people with this kind of injury to experience significant bouts of anxiety, even rage.
00:46This bitch told me she done.
00:48Now she got my work?
00:50Your chart says that the father is recently deceased.
00:54That kind of a loss, coupled with a terminated pregnancy, is a lot to grapple with.
00:59Everybody losing something every day.
01:01Life gotta be easy, Kanan.
01:03Because life is fucking hard.
01:05Your grandmother has kidney cancer.
01:07You're the only one in the family who knows.
01:09My period's late, Kanan.
01:11I could give a fuck about your partner.
01:13What I need to understand is why you neglected to tell me that you had a connection to Marvin Thomas.
01:19I don't even know if I could save myself entirely.
01:21Marvin gotta take the fall.
01:23First they had that CI on me.
01:25And now they track me, prison up on me.
01:27Shake the trees a little bit over at the bureau.
01:29Shake they fucking trees.
01:31Let these motherfuckers know they walking up the wrong one.
01:33Again, if you've ever seen your father interact with Detective Malcolm Howard.
01:39You fucked up my whole life tonight.
01:41And you really think I'm gonna answer your questions?
01:43This is Lowell Gelfand.
01:45He owns a few independent labels.
01:47It means that our victim, Frederick Williams, had a lengthy criminal record.
01:51It wouldn't surprise anyone if self-defense was involved here.
01:55This is gonna have to be between the two of us.
01:57I don't like mixing my businesses.
01:59It confuses the conversations.
02:01Army? For real?
02:03That's what you want?
02:05I don't know. I thought it was.
02:07The army's not for everyone.
02:09Laverne's a very conservative institution.
02:13Especially when it comes to certain societal issues.
02:19Stories I could tell.
02:21There's places they could take you.
02:25I'm a hustler, baby.
02:27I'm a hustler, baby.
02:29I know heartbreaks, setbacks.
02:31Bitch, if I crap out, I'm sure I'ma get back.
02:33I've been through the ups and downs.
02:35You know I get around.
02:37So to me, it's all a part of the game.
02:39If I ain't the cold man or the dope man,
02:41I'm almost the show man.
02:43I gotta take it. No need to say shit.
02:45I'm gonna take it.
02:47Burglaries, terror, homicide, it's nothing to play with.
02:49Make money, make make, make money.
02:51When shit hit, the fam will take money.
02:53Southside, be with the best of them.
02:55Shout out to the rest of them.
02:57Checks, I'm collecting them.
02:59Check, boy, I'm finessing them.
03:01Boy, you fuck around, put a big bag on your head
03:03for the weather, break your head.
03:05Let's get to it, don't do it like we do it.
03:07Cop it, whip it, bag it, flip it.
03:09We up, we up, heat up, what up?
03:11Running around this bitch, still not giving a fuck.
03:15When it come to that paper, there'll be no complications.
03:19Put a hole in the nigga right in front of you,
03:21your heartbeat pacing.
03:23It's alright.
03:25That's how we do it on this side.
03:27Niggas get to it on this side.
03:29I know heartbreaks, setbacks.
03:31Bitch, if I crap out, I'm sure I'ma get back.
03:33I've been through the ups and downs,
03:35you know I get around.
03:37So to me, it's all a part of the game.
03:39If I ain't the gold man or the dog man,
03:41I'm almost the show man.
03:43I gotta take it. No need to say shit.
03:45I'm gonna take it.
03:47Burglaries, terror, homicide, it's nothing to play with.
03:49Nothing to play with.
03:57One, two, three.
03:59Fifteen.
04:01One, two, three.
04:03Sixteen.
04:05One, two, three.
04:07Seventeen.
04:09One, two, three.
04:11Eighteen.
04:13Conditioning is the only way you weak-ass queers
04:15will ever obtain combat readiness.
04:17We're back.
04:21One, two, three.
04:23Nineteen.
04:25Forty.
04:27Twenty-one.
04:29Forty-two.
04:31Forty-three.
04:33Forty-four.
04:35Forty-five.
04:37Forty-six.
04:41In the hood, we talk about soldiers.
04:43Niggas who ain't never scared.
04:45Never die for the cause.
04:47Fall for their flag.
04:49But the truth is, them motherfuckers ain't no real soldiers.
04:51Real soldiers
04:53understand the fucking chain of command.
04:55Got discipline.
04:57Strategy.
05:15Yes, yes, yo.
05:25Commence with combat training exercise.
05:41Real soldiers been trained to kill.
05:45No matter how hard you think you and your crew is,
05:47you ain't no real soldier.
05:49You just niggas playing some fake fucking war.
05:51It only ends
05:53when everyone lose.
06:01After an exhaustive investigation,
06:03the NYPD has determined
06:05that Detective Malcolm Howard
06:07was involved in a narcotics operation
06:09with Ronald Mathis,
06:11a known drug distributor.
06:13The department had initiated
06:15an investigation into him
06:17and his connection to the drug trading queens.
06:19It is our belief,
06:21and a preponderance of the evidence suggests,
06:23that these murders were carried out
06:25by foreign nationals.
06:27While we continue to try to
06:29identify, locate, and arrest
06:31said individuals,
06:33for now, the local investigatory
06:35component of this case is concluded.
06:37Commissioner!
06:39What about Howard's partner, Detective Shannon Burke?
06:41Do you still believe she committed suicide?
06:43We absolutely do.
06:45How is it still possible for this precinct
06:47to maintain public trust?
06:49The NYPD is comprised of the best
06:51and most professional men and women in the world.
06:53The actions of one detective
06:55are an anomaly,
06:57not a trend.
06:59Any trust that's been lost or compromised
07:01will be earned back.
07:03In conjunction with the chief of detective's office,
07:05we're rolling out a host of robust
07:07systemic changes
07:09that include, but aren't...
07:11And that's that.
07:13The Howard investigation is done.
07:15They can always restart it,
07:17but for now, it's on ice.
07:19Well, what these feds talking about?
07:21That, I don't know, but I'll find out.
07:23They off me, though.
07:25As far as we can tell.
07:27Now, how about you don't get cozy
07:29with no snitch-ass white motherfuckers from here on out, though?
07:31I ain't a nigga that get cozy.
07:33Again, the word that's been passed on to me
07:35is that the task force has been disbanded,
07:37and the investigation into Marvin is dead and buried.
07:39We need to hear about the feds before we start dancing
07:41in the fucking end zone.
07:43I'll gather some additional intel.

10:07We just clearing this.

10:11What I'm talking about, man.
10:12Ain't shit we can do about how much we make.
10:14Market is what it is.
10:16We can fuck with how much we spend.
10:18We're gonna drop the starting hourly for the new guys.
10:21Got it.
10:23Inventory, it's getting real tight.
10:25I'm gonna get in rocks, see what our product is.
10:32I'll circle back with you later.
10:34What?
10:38How you, uh...
10:40How you feeling, Crystal?
10:42I'm good. I'm a C. What about you?
10:45Still fucking with that allergy season.
10:49Shit never ends for me.
10:50My sinuses are all tore up.
10:54I hope that gets better.
10:55It won't.
10:59O.C.'s a strange kid.
11:03Look, niggas go with numbers, not people.
11:06But business is about relationships, Kanan.
11:09And nobody but you want a relationship
11:11with that nervous fuck.
11:12O.C. all right.
11:14Crystal always got her eyes on this, what?
11:18My eyes are on you, baby.
11:22And you know I like what I see.
11:24♪♪♪♪
11:32♪♪♪♪
11:37♪♪♪♪
11:40-♪♪♪♪
11:41-♪♪♪♪
11:42You can stop smelling the flowers
11:44in the South Side of Jamaica, nigga.
11:47Ain't no flowers in the South Side of Jamaica, big brother.
11:51♪♪♪♪
11:56-♪♪♪♪
11:58-♪ Somebody who knows my body better than me, yeah ♪
12:04-♪ Oh, baby, take me to a place, make me feel ecstasy ♪
12:12Go get a Jimmy hat.
12:14-♪♪♪♪
12:23I could pull out.
12:25Like you did before?
12:27Nah, baby, we handled that.
12:31I handled that.
12:33Yeah, but I paid for it.
12:36-♪♪♪♪
12:43Paying is the easiest shit you could do, Kanan.
12:47I wanted that baby, but I did what I did
12:49because you asked me to do it.
12:52Well, because it was the right call.
12:54It was the right call for you.
12:59I want to be a mother.
13:00I want to love a child and have a child love me back.
13:03Crystal, it don't always work out that way.
13:10Just because you and your mother
13:11have some kind of fucked-up relationship
13:12doesn't mean it'd be the same for me.
13:21I know you're talking to other girls, Kanan.
13:24I'm not stupid.
13:29Tell me you're not.
13:31I'm not.
13:33And you're lying, because I saw you outside
13:34talking to Mikaela the other day.
13:36Mikaela?
13:37She's just a hoover.
13:38I don't even mean nothing.
13:39Stop it.
13:42You know what?
13:44Fuck this.
13:48Crystal.
13:50Yo, what?
13:52What?
14:06You want to see me?
14:07Shut the door, Garcia.
14:13I'm assuming you saw that press conference.
14:17And I'm assuming you heard the commissioner's comments
14:20for the barrel of bullshit that they were.
14:22You mean all that crap about the foreign nationals
14:24hitting Howard?
14:25I mean everything.
14:27The task force has been disbanded,
14:29but this case is not closed, not by a long shot.
14:32The Bureau only cares about organized crime,
14:35and they don't think Howard gets them
14:37anywhere in that regards right now.
14:40But for you and me,
14:41there's no world where the murder of a cop,
14:44even a dirty one, goes unanswered.
14:48I'm probably six months
14:50from them making me take early retirement.
14:53But until then, I still got work to do.
14:55When I walk out of here for the last time,
14:57I want this case closed.
14:58I don't want it hanging over me
15:00for the rest of my fucking life.
15:02So this one's a passion project for you and me.
15:05You're gonna be a one-man band,
15:07but it needs to be on the QT,
15:09not a goddamn whisper.
15:11Press up your informants, lean on your locals,
15:14squeeze hard on anyone you can.
15:17Whoever put Howard down is still out there.
15:23My guess is the shooter's the same one
15:25who wet him up by Basley way back when.
15:29Somebody's got to pay Garcia,
15:31and this bill is way past due.
15:38How are our favorite soldiers doing?
15:40She hit me a few weeks ago.
15:42Told me it's a lot of suckers
15:43screaming in her face and shit.
15:45Don't she used to that?
15:46She Marvin Thomas' daughter.
15:49Now that somebody all cleaned up and dried out,
15:53they got jokes.
15:55The important thing, you need to keep yourself busy.
15:58Find some shit you care about.
16:00When niggas don't care, they get careless.
16:03That's not what you need to be on right now.
16:06Got a meeting.
16:08This kid that Shirley linked me with.
16:11The guy who put out Fame single?
16:13That little Puerto Rican nigga
16:14getting love on the radio for that song y'all did.
16:17But I heard the police took a warrant out on him.
16:20Word around is that he's been talking.
16:23Then got scared and said too much
16:25and got to running.
16:28Fame ain't no snitch.
16:30When niggas looking at a long bet,
16:32they get real chatty.
16:36Just want to say thank you, Marvin.
16:41Rock told me you kicking in on that B.I. bill.
16:45You always there for me.
16:47You thick and fucking thin.
16:49I just need you to know.
16:53It don't go unnoticed.
16:55More unappreciated.
16:58I heard that.
17:00He wasn't lying though, brother.
17:03That therapy thing is some other other shit.
17:08It's all right.
17:10It's all right.
17:12We're having to miss the fucking breathing
17:13and talking and feeling.
17:16Got straight shit on by some crack ass motherfucker
17:18he was trying to help.
17:20And I did right by that fool.
17:22He still did me wrong.
17:24That ain't how it's supposed to work.
17:27Fuck jail, man.
17:28Fuck everybody.
17:30You did right by me.
17:32I ain't going to do you wrong.
17:36I ain't caught no chickens yet.
17:54You ain't wanting to do with me,
17:55but you can't get it off my washing dryer.
17:59I need that real.
18:07Going through this work, I'm giving you fast.
18:10Making less on it though.
18:12Maybe you and I can sit down,
18:14go through your books,
18:15and see what's what.
18:16Trim out some fat.
18:17My book's all right.
18:19Police moving on?
18:21All of that mess in the rear view for now.
18:24Ain't nothing but open road up ahead for us.
18:27Hey.
18:29There you stance in the fucking traffic again.
18:34Just let me know when we get in that inventory.
18:36Quan wants me to come through for a conversation
18:38before he hits us off again.
18:40I'll keep you posted.
19:04Hey, Quan.
19:35I keep telling you, I don't know what fame is.
19:39Yeah, I keep telling you that you're full of shit.
19:43Two months now, has anyone seen your homie?
19:45And you expect and believe that you don't know anything?
19:47I don't expect you to do shit, Farvo.
19:49I'm just telling you,
19:50don't matter how many times I tell you,
19:52you don't know shit.
19:54You don't know shit.
19:56You don't know shit.
19:58You don't know shit.
20:00You don't know shit.
20:02I'm just telling you,
20:03don't matter how many times you roll up on me,
20:05it don't change shit.
20:07I don't know where fame is.
20:13What about Detective Howard?
20:16You hear anything about what happened there?
20:18That was your dirt, man.
20:21I just heard that cop
20:23was playing with niggas that don't play.
20:27That could make your life real tough out here, Kanan.
20:30Real complicated.
20:32I ain't worried.
20:34You should be.
20:37Fuck you, Garcia.
21:00Fuck.

23:05Yo, I saw that shit.
23:07Thieving-ass motherfucker.
23:10Did that shit right in front of my fucking face.
23:12You stealing product.
23:14I don't know what you're talking about.
23:15Bullshit. Empty your pockets.
23:21I didn't take anything.
23:23You put them in your drawers.
23:24Pull them pants down, nigga.
23:26That is my nephew.
23:27What did he do?
23:28Your nephew a motherfucking thief.
23:30Drop them drawers.
23:33He ain't gonna save you, egg-full young.
23:35Drop them drawers.
23:41Told you.
23:42This is a misunderstanding.
23:45What's your nephew misunderstand
23:46about my work being pressed up against his dick?
23:49Uncle Richard, I'm sorry.
23:51Get your ass out of here, nephew.
23:52Don't ever let me see your hair again.
23:54Because I'll fucking defry you, karate kid.
24:00His mother is very sick.
24:02How long you think you stay in business?
24:03You let every motherfucker out here
24:04with a sick mother stealing spring rolls.
24:07You be closed before breakfast, nigga.
24:09Nobody taxing our shit.
24:11Not on my watch.
24:15You put the extra fortune cookies in there?
24:23Oh, my gosh.
24:33Hey.
24:46I'm raising your prices 20%.
24:49Fuck out of here, Quan.
24:51You can't just drop an increase on me like that.
24:55I can.
24:56And I just can.
25:04Have a good day.
25:21Thanks.
25:42You're gonna love this.
25:44You're gonna be thrilled.
25:46My Paulette and her husband, Tommaso,
25:49they're expecting.
25:51Ah.
25:52Hey, Grandpa Stefano.
25:54Hey, congratulations.
25:56In the all of happily ever after.
25:58Yeah, yeah, after.
25:59After that cocksucker caught your straight right hand
26:02to the jaw, that is.
26:03Love hurts sometimes.
26:08Hey, listen.
26:09I know it's been a while since our last adventure together,
26:13but I got something that I think could use your soft touch.
26:18I got this bookie in Corona.
26:20He's skimming off the top.
26:22And I warned him already.
26:24But he's not a good listener.
26:26He doesn't respond well to constructive criticism.
26:31So you want me to try destructive criticism?
26:35You killed me, man.
26:39I don't want it to be too acrimonious.
26:41I know the guy's a decent earner.
26:44Just ring his bell.
26:45See who's home.
26:47Ding dong.
26:49That's my man, that's it.
27:04Lou Thomas.
27:08Feels like I've been waiting for you my whole life.
27:11Come on in.
27:18Numbers keep getting stronger for yours and Fame's song.
27:21Who knows?
27:22We get some more wind in our sails.
27:24We might be hanging some new hardware on these walls.
27:27Anyone heard from them, by the way?
27:29Not that I know of.
27:31Kid's got a hot record
27:32and isn't even around to enjoy the wind.
27:34It's a real shame.
27:36Oh, he'll circle back.
27:37Fame's just got to clear his head.
27:39Hey, I know that you've been waiting for me
27:41to get out to have this conversation,
27:43and I really appreciate the patience.
27:44What, you think you're the first guy
27:46to ever go to rehab, Lou?
27:47I've been three times myself.
27:48Cocaine, liquor, and pussy.
27:50In that order.
27:51Although between us,
27:52the sex addiction nonsense
27:53was just me trying to convince my wife at the time
27:56that I didn't have any control over myself
27:58when I fucked her sister.
27:59Point is, no one is beyond redemption, my friend.
28:03Everyone can be saved.
28:17That was long.
28:18I'm done, I'm done.
28:19I'm so scared.
28:28It's you.
28:32For real, it's you.
28:38I can't believe it's you.
28:42Can't believe it?
28:46Can't believe it?
29:04I'm a big gut guy, Lou.
29:08And my gut is screaming at me here.
29:12Lou's the one. Lou is the one.
29:15And what exactly am I the one for again?
29:18I got a hip-hop imprint.
29:19It's not that different than your bulletproof records,
29:22only with a few less corpses
29:24and a couple more million in financing.
29:27I want you to run it.
29:29The biggest success we've had so far
29:31is this little single that you and Famous threw together
29:33in the back at Cafe Vu,
29:34which tells me you know how to do something I don't.
29:40I'm just a schmuck from Great Neck
29:43who's still sleeping off a bad trip from Woodstock,
29:46but I do know enough to know
29:49that rap is the future
29:51and that you see it in a way I can't.
29:57I, uh...
29:59I listen to the acts you guys sign,
30:01like you asked me to.
30:03Mm-hmm.
30:04Talk to me.
30:07Hip-hop is honest,
30:09whether you on the corner or you in the club.
30:12Something about the music gets you.
30:14Could just be the beat.
30:16Could be the rhymes.
30:17Whatever it is,
30:19it should reach you.
30:21You only got one artist that got that realness.
30:24B-Rilla.
30:25B-Rilla's real, all right?
30:27Real pain in my ass,
30:28and he's currently really residing
30:30in Manhattan Correctional.
30:31I was just talking to my attorney
30:33about voiding our deal with him.
30:34His first album didn't even chart.
30:36Not his fault.
30:37Flow was hot. Production was weak.
30:40So...
30:42if I hold on to the problem child
30:45that is B-Rilla,
30:48you'll come on board,
30:51and we can build this imprint together.
30:53That's not what I was...
30:54That's not what I was saying, Mr. Gelfand.
30:56I was...
30:57No, Lowell.
30:59Lowell,
31:01I just got out of rehab
31:03with nothing...
31:05but questions about myself
31:07and where I'm headed.
31:09And the only answer that I got
31:11that makes sense at all is...
31:14I gotta leave my options open.
31:16My next decision
31:18is the most important decision
31:20that I will make...
31:22when it is...
31:24I don't think I'm ready to decide anything right now.
31:31Why don't we do this?
31:35Go meet with B-Rilla.
31:37Because...
31:39if you love him, I love him.
31:42So talk to him. Just see what you think.
31:44If he still intrigues you,
31:46and if you decide something I said to you today
31:48sparks your interest,
31:50let's keep talking.
31:52Like I said, Lou,
31:54I've been to rehab, too.
31:56And remember how they don't let you close your door
31:58when you're in there? So...
32:00let's not close this door here either.
32:02Not yet, at least.
32:05You're a good man.
32:07Not yet.
32:09But I'm aiming for it.
32:24He's just fucking with me because he can.
32:26Because he know that I can't go nowhere else.
32:28Hey, look,
32:30I don't have much sway with Quan.
32:32I mean, all we do is arrange
32:34for the transportation of the product.
32:36You know, put down stakes with the other families
32:38to secure the territories where it's sold.
32:40Everything else is between you and him.
32:42Yeah, well, you told me that I had to fuck with him.
32:44That he was the only game in town.
32:46Because we got an existing arrangement with him.
32:48Jesus.
32:50What if I wanted to be Quan?
32:54Step up the ladder and be the supplier?
32:58Well...
33:00there's a lot of rungs you'd have to climb.
33:02And then you'd have to have a friend
33:04with a whole lot of poppy fields.
33:06And those friends are hard to find
33:08and even harder to trust.
33:10But what if I found one?
33:14Look,
33:16you make me an offer.
33:18A better offer than our Vietnamese associate.
33:22I think that would be something worth discussing.
33:30Ugh.
33:42Damn, Juke.
33:48Helps when you got one of your own.
33:50It really does.
34:00I called you earlier today. I thought maybe you weren't happy to see me.
34:02Mm-mm.
34:04I'm just surprised.
34:06I wasn't expecting you.
34:08But I'm glad you're here.
34:16So,
34:18how long they let you out for?
34:24I let myself out.
34:26You quit?
34:30Ain't you gonna get in trouble for that?
34:32Maybe.
34:34Probably.
34:36Shit.
34:38Who the fuck am I kidding?
34:40Definitely.
34:42Fuck the army.
34:44I couldn't be myself in there.
34:46And I'm not lying about who I am.
34:48Not for nobody.
34:50So,
34:52going home now, or...
34:54Mm.
34:58I was thinking
35:00maybe
35:02I could stay and kick it here with you.
35:04Just for a minute.
35:08See what this college life is really like
35:10for a little bit.
35:12If that's okay.
35:16Or not.
35:18I mean, like, I could go.
35:20I should've called you first.
35:22I thought that was really stupid.
35:24You didn't do anything wrong.
35:26Not at all.
35:28I'm happy to see you.
35:36But...
35:38Yeah.
35:40A lot has happened
35:42since we last saw each other.
35:44I mean,
35:46I'm in college now.
35:48I'm learning all kinds of things,
35:50but what I'm learning about is me.
35:52And what I'm realizing is
35:54I don't know me.
36:00I haven't made myself sick since I've been here.
36:02That's great.
36:06Just like you, Jude.
36:08Just trying to
36:10figure myself out
36:12and figure out
36:14where you belong.
36:16And as much as I
36:18care about you,
36:22I think I gotta do that on my own.
36:24For a little while.
36:48We're closed.
36:50Come back tomorrow.
36:52I ain't here for eight-ball, brother.
36:58Your friend in Queens
37:00want your stuff skimmed off
37:02the bus you're taking.
37:04I'm here to make sure
37:06you hear him.
37:08Make sure you know
37:10what time it is.
37:12You try to pull a gat on me?
37:14Are you out your fucking mind?
37:16Just came here for a conversation.
37:18You want to get into a fucking gunfight?
37:22Yeah, bitch-ass nigga.
37:24White man got you sweeping up after him
37:26like a fucking janitor.
37:30I make Stevano too much money
37:32for you to do shit to me anyhow.
37:34I'm not gonna do it.
37:36I'm not gonna do it.
37:38I'm not gonna do it.
37:40I don't want none of you to do shit to me anyhow.
37:42See,
37:44I call the shots
37:46while your step-adventured ass
37:48run error, motherfucker.
37:54Didn't call those shots, did you,
37:56black man?
38:10It's the last one you fronted Ronnie
38:12in Canaan.
38:14Y'all leaving now.
38:16We even on what we invested.
38:18We ain't even on
38:20our return.
38:22Think we put up that money just to get
38:24the same shit back?
38:26We give money to make money.
38:28We own a piece of the business.
38:30Y'all ain't say nothing to me
38:32about owning a piece of nothing
38:34when I told y'all I was putting Ronnie down.
38:36Y'all just said,
38:38Clearly, you are not aware
38:40of one of investing's foundational pillars,
38:42the return.
38:44Take money to make money.
38:46You took from us.
38:48Now you making for us.
38:50Any deal you made with Ronnie went in the ground with him.
38:52With all due respect,
38:54this conversation doesn't involve you, Rock.
38:56We financed Canaan and Ronnie's enterprise,
38:58not yours.
39:00Hold on.
39:02I had my shit up and running
39:04way before I even met y'all
39:06and before I even met Ronnie.
39:08Okay, you want to hold on to the profits
39:10from your reefer business? Have at it, young buck.
39:12But all the money from that
39:14horse you moving, that gets divvied up
39:16between us.
39:18Dude.
39:20Well, like you said, I wasn't part of any deal you and Ronnie made.
39:22Y'all did that on your own.
39:24This is some bullshit.
39:26What the... Starting to think you got a real
39:28problem with loyalty, baby.
39:30And I'm gonna agree with my better half.
39:32You put a bullet in the back
39:34of your business partner's head.
39:36And while I hesitate on
39:38weighing in on family matters,
39:40it's clear that your devotion to your mother
39:42is suspect at best.
39:44And this all speaks to a certain dearth of fidelity
39:46on your part when it comes to your family and friends.
39:48You don't know shit about me.
39:50We learning, though.
39:52Let's go, Canaan.
39:54I'm not done talking.
40:00You listen to your mother, son.
40:02We'll continue this conversation
40:04when you've settled down.
40:10Go home.
40:12We out, Canaan.
40:14Go home.
40:30You gotta be real careful with Snaps and Pop, Canaan.
40:32They ain't get to where they are
40:34without dropping a whole lot of bodies behind them.
40:36Oh, like how you got to where you are?
40:38I can say the same to you.
40:40You decided to do Ronnie
40:42on your own.
40:44And you decided to do what you did.
40:46I saw an opportunity to solve a problem in the moment
40:48and I took it. That's all I did.
40:50That problem was my father.
40:52It was the right thing to do.
40:56You even know the difference between right and wrong?
40:58I know the difference between life and death.
41:00And I know the only reason you still breathing right now
41:02is because of the cause that I've made.
41:04You alive because of me.
41:06Now, you may not like my decisions,
41:08but you love the results.
41:10Look, I ain't forcing you to work for me.
41:12You want out, just give me the word and you can go.
41:18Exactly. You ain't saying shit
41:20because ain't shit to say.
41:22You making more with me than you ever did
41:24because I'm getting you more work at a better price.
41:26Our business is good, Canaan.
41:28And it can get even better.
41:32I mean, this is what we always talked about, you and me.
41:38It's one thing not to be able to trust my son.
41:40I mean, I can almost live with that.
41:42But I have to be able to trust my business partners.
42:08What's up?
42:10What's up?
42:32What's up?
42:34Smack the shit out of you.
42:42What the fuck do you want?
42:46I'm Lieutenant.
42:48I know who you are, my nigga.
42:52You got out that record with Rico Suave.
42:56Shit whack as hell.
42:58Streets seem to disagree.
43:00Fuck the streets.
43:02You know better.
43:04They only play that shit y'all give them.
43:06What you here for?
43:08I've been talking to Lil' Gelfand
43:10about the hip-hop thing he's doing.
43:12Listen to who he got. You're the only artist worth something over there.
43:14I wanted to see where your head was at.
43:16What you thinking?
43:18I'm thinking, fuck that Jew motherfucker.
43:20Fuck Gelfand. Fuck his label.
43:22Fuck this industry.
43:24I've been signing that nigga for two years.
43:26I'm still on fucking welfare.
43:28So fuck all y'all.
43:30What you in here for, man?
43:32Some shit I ain't do.
43:34What didn't you do, then?
43:36Well, I didn't rob nobody.
43:38Look.
43:40The opportunity to work with you
43:42is real interesting to me.
43:44I respect you and your talent.
43:46And I think we might see this music shit the same.
43:50I just want to know if you down.
43:54In case you ain't notice,
43:56I'm in jail, nigga.
43:58I can't do shit for man.
44:00Tell me you're ready to work. I'll get you out of here by the end of the day.
44:04You get me out of here by the end of the day,
44:06I'll tell you whatever the fuck you want.
44:16This type of carcinoma
44:18is a menace.
44:22Despite everything we've tried,
44:24your scans appear to indicate
44:26that the cancer has grown
44:28in both your kidneys
44:30and spread to your lungs as well.
44:32Appear to indicate?
44:34Sound like you not sure.
44:42I'm dying, baby.
44:48We could increase
44:50and intensify the chemotherapy,
44:52but I'm concerned that
44:54that would be a harder road to travel
44:56to a destination which
44:58isn't going to change appreciably.
45:04That motherfucker wasn't never going to listen to reason.
45:06And he disrespected the hell out of me
45:08and you.
45:10He's replaceable, man.
45:12There's a sucker on every corner
45:14of Southside Jamaica can do the job.
45:16With their eyes closed.
45:18What the fuck?
45:20My daughter was supposed to be
45:22on your basic train, just walked in my damn door.
45:24Yo, um,
45:26I gotta go, Stefano. I'll hit you later.
45:30I didn't even know you were coming home.
45:32Me neither.
45:38Duke's back!
45:40The baby's back!
45:46Uh-huh.
45:48Yeah, sure.
45:52Oh.
45:54Hold on to me.
45:56Get your chair.
45:58Ooh.
46:00Thank you, baby.
46:02Mm-hmm.
46:04I'll, uh,
46:06make you that tea?
46:14I know we all about
46:16holding secrets from each other in this family,
46:18but this feel like one secret you can't hold like that.
46:22I don't know
46:24what's worse.
46:26Facing death
46:28or
46:30facing my kids.
46:36The FBI is no longer
46:38interested in pursuing an investigation
46:40into you and your family.
46:42However, they do remain focused
46:44on organized crime,
46:46specifically one Stefano Marchetti.
46:48My mole inside the bureau
46:50informed me that both you and Marvin
46:52were observed separately meeting with
46:54Mr. Marchetti earlier this week.
46:56My Marvin? Marvin Thomas?
46:58Assumed you knew.
47:00Yeah, yeah. That's right.
47:02I knew that. They was talking about
47:04fishing tanks and shit.
47:06Well, the FBI
47:08is willing to offer you what amounts
47:10to be a get-out-of-jail-free card
47:12for you to use at any time
47:14in exchange for information that could
47:16be used to prosecute Mr. Marchetti.
47:18Feds want me to snitch?
47:20They want your help
47:22and are willing to compensate you
47:24substantially for it.
47:26My source made it sound like a standing offer,
47:28so it might be a conversation we could return to
47:30later, if necessary.
47:32Good to know.
47:34Right.
47:48Woo!
47:50Woo!
47:52Woo!
47:54Woo!
47:56Woo!
47:58Woo!
48:00Woo!
48:02Woo!
48:04Woo!
48:06Woo!
48:08Woo!
48:10Woo!
48:12Woo!
48:14Woo!
48:16Bam!
48:18It's a murder!
48:20How did you come through?
48:22Just so I could slap you in the stupid face.
48:26Take your best shot.
48:32You're too damn cute to smack.
48:34Be right back, suckers.
48:36You and Don.
48:38Yo, y'all like it when I go hard down, huh?
48:40You work hard.
48:42Yeah.
48:44Yo, wack ass rappers
48:48Y'all know how I give it up?
48:50I said, I just killed a nigga I love.
48:52It got me real sick, but a snitch, the snitch
48:54Ain't something I can deal with
48:56Hoodie in my Timbs on, body be still warm
48:58Paramedics, where too late?
49:00That nigga been gone, the hoes love it
49:02I'm so rugged cold-blooded
49:04I want it all up front nigga, no nuggets
49:06If you ain't on that time and then you won't cut it
49:08Fucking back to my trunk nigga, no luggage
49:10When I get in this mode, I'm really focused
49:12If you aren't a sight for sore eyes.
49:16Hey, Cheryl.
49:17You look good.
49:18I feel good.
49:22Any word on things?
49:26Sometimes success is harder to manage than failure.
49:31I'm just doing my best not to fuck up my own ass.
49:34One day at a fucking time.
49:38I like the new guy.
49:40You got some potential.
49:42So do you.
49:46Someone's looking for you.
50:02By the way,
50:03Lewis had me get a friend of his out of Manhattan Correctional earlier today.
50:07As it falls outside the scope of our retainer,
50:10I'll be forwarding you an invoice for that.
50:12Well, a loose-label guy gonna pay for that.
50:14But you can send me the bill.
50:16You know, one of these days you're gonna tell me who all your connects are, Andre.
50:20You got peoples in the FBI, the NYPD.
50:23You know what they're doing before they do.
50:25Well, if I share all my trade secrets, I become superfluous.
50:28And that's the last thing any attorney wants to be.
50:31And if they no need, then a nigga's unnecessary.
50:33Precisely.
50:34Well, don't worry.
50:36I still need you, Andre.
50:38Yes, you do.
50:42I'll be in touch.
51:01Look, I'm Rochester's finest.
51:03I'm up late, upstate.
51:04Mask and a duct tape.
51:05On it till the sun breaks.
51:07Broke trying to get dough.
51:08You can hear the wind blow.
51:09Creeping through your window.
51:11So I got a tip-toe.
51:12Now I'm in your basement.
51:13I saw a couple paintings.
51:14He's got presents in the prison.
51:16I'll give them now.
51:17You gotta let the see.
51:19You just gotta see if you know how to sing.
51:25So you wanna make some money, Lewis?
51:30I wanna make some music.
51:33I have my lawyers draw up an employment contract for you.
51:39Yo.
51:41Yo.
51:42One water.
51:43Two whiskey.
52:02I shoot cops.
52:03I move rocks.
52:04Hustle on two blocks.
52:05Stash in a shoebox.
52:06Feel like a giveaway.
52:07Should've picked a different day.
52:09House party getaway.
52:10If you think I'm kidding, play.
52:11Back to the corner so I can kick my feet up.
52:14Yo, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
52:16Cut that shit.
52:17True story.
52:18Nigga got out of jail today.
52:20I'm up on stage tonight.
52:22All this could change on a dime.
52:24Play that shit.
52:29Yeah, nigga.
52:30There's a difference between a performer and an artist.
52:33Just like there's a difference between a soldier and a killer.
52:45Soldiers are trained, prepared.
52:48Just like a performer.
52:49They're taught that shit.
52:51Schooled in the game.
52:54But an artist is a natural.
52:56That talent is God-given.
52:58Can't be taught.
53:00Can't be learned.
53:02So you fuckin' me?
53:08Cause if you fuckin' me...
53:12Alfred.
53:13You can be damn sure she fuckin' you, nigga.
53:16Hey, wait, wait, wait a second.
53:22And it's the same for a killer.
53:24That shit is just in them.
53:26It's just part of who they are.
53:29See, it's real simple.
53:31Soldiers are made.
53:34Killers are born.
53:39I forgot about me real fuckin' fast.
53:43There was some fucked up lookin' dude comin' out the building today.
53:46His face was all scarred and scary.
53:48Fire broke through.
53:50I'm turnin' up the heat to somethin' real uncomfortable.
53:52You're a problem.
53:54So you gonna mess with this music thing again?
53:56Nah.
53:57Music always been your dream.
53:58I only dream when I'm asleep.
54:01Playing with fire, you nigga.
54:03I am fire.
54:05And I'ma burn down everything.
