The Streetz

- [Detective Brown Voiceover] A cop.

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be a cop.

My grandfather was a cop.

My dad was a cop.

And as a man of color,

justice is the right thing to do.

- I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America

and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation, under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all.

- I take my job seriously,

morning, noon, and night,

but I just don't know what today's gonna bring.

But being a cop, it's never a break.

Look at this kid, Danny Rivera,

like Freddy, chasing the American dream,

aspiring rapper.

Unfortunately, he's dating an addict.

Will she get help?

I don't know.

Now her father,

Congressman Russo,

that's a different story.

Something's up with him.

I don't trust him.

But time to go to work.

Time to do what my wife divorced me for,

a job.

A job that my grandad

and my dad

would be proud of today.

It's time to go get them,

because it's not about the paycheck.

It's about the love for the job.

Whatever he says is not true.

Music doesn't pay the bills.

This does.

Those two guys,

they're full of shit.

I'm in charge here.

It's my world.

They just live in it.

These guys are delusional.

Believe what you want to believe.

These are my streets.

I'm in charge.

I did my part.

Now you're gonna do yours.

I'll take care of it.

- Gentlemen, time to get going.

Copy that.

Yeah!

Yes, yes!

Now let me ask something.

How long we know each other?

Forever.

Excuse me.

I ever fuck you over?

Absolutely not.

But things are not the same anymore.

Got wise guys whacking bosses left and right

without permission from the families.

That's true.

That's true.

Respect and loyalty, they don't exist anymore.

You know the Chinese.

They're all fucking demons.

It's the reason why Tony always sets up these meetings,

so he doesn't get whacked.

You know what?

Anybody who tries to fuck this family over,

including the Chinese,

are fucking done.

You know, Tony,

I think Johnny, Tommy, and I

should all go pay a visit to Kawasaki

over at the restaurant.

That's a good idea.

Hmm.

So Tony, where are we going with this?

You know that rat bastard Sammi?

- Of course. - He's back out

in the fucking streets.

Bigmouth Sammi.

All he had to do was suck it up,

serve his time, and shut his big fucking mouth.

Yeah.

And five years later, now who are we stuck with?

The fucking Chinese.

- I trust everybody at this table's got good intensions.

And remember one thing.

Blood's thicker than water.

Do me a favor, tell Tommy

to get Tracy a job at the casino.

I promised her a job over there.

- You got it, Tony. - Thank you.

How about this?

I meet you guys later at the club.

I'll stop to pick up Sal

and then I'll meet you there.

- All right. - Okay.

- All right? - All right, buddy.

- Talk to you later. - All right.

- Take care, guys. - Chill out.

Hey, Wong.

I have good news.

Seems like everything is going as planned.

I just overheard Tony saying that

he's getting Tracy a job at the casino.

So what's next?

Okay.

So I'm going to meet those two guys tonight in the club,

and I'll tell them your decision.

Wow, I like your outfit!

- Hey, did you happen to see that girl go up the stairs?

Yeah, why?

- That puttana was on the phone with Wong.

- Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it.

Okay, thanks.

- Hey. - Oh, what are you doing?

What's going on?

- Hey sweetie, you got everything ready for your trip?

Are you excited?

You just do me a favor.

Just do to the club and tell that girl Tracy

about the job at the casino.

Yeah, no problem, you got it.

- All right, I'll talk to you later.

All right.

- Yeah, we had a good time the last time.

This is a nice place.

The view's killer.

The food is great.

Hey Tony.

I talked to Tommy about that thing.

He's taking care of it.

Good, thank you.

See that blonde over there?

Bella said she caught her talking to Wong.

What do you want to do?

I'll take care of it.

I can't wait to be on my own.

Watch out, Miami, here I come.

I'm gonna miss you, sis,

but thanks, now I'm the target.

I'm gonna miss you too, cuz.

You girls are so damn spoiled.

- And that's a problem?

I can't take this.

- I'm going to the restroom.

Pissed off both of your aunts.

And?

And?

Sweetheart, can you make sure they get the check?

And you can pay the damn check.

How about that?

Girls, you really have to

have more respect for your family, especially your father,

after all he does

to make sure you have the lifestyle you live.

What's the matter with you, huh?!

Hey, Tone.

Hey, baby.

- Bella told me about that puttana with Wong.

What do you want me to do with that?

You want me to take care of that for you?

Do me a favor.

Take care of that.

- Gotcha, babe. - Thank you.

- Yeah, me too. - Okay.

- Hey. - There's my beautiful woman.

- Hey. - How you doing?

- You can't take what they say to heart.

We did a great job.

We did.

That's why I love you.

I love you.

You okay?

Yeah, I'll be good.

Get back to work.

Hi mom.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

The baby shower ran a little bit longer than I expected.

Is everything still going on?

Yes.

Let's go.

- Hell, how can he be a lieutenant?

He's seeing all this stuff going on,

he's not even paying attention to it.

Something's up with this guy.

I'm here like one week

and I can see all this stuff going on like this,

which,

I don't know.

Where is he anyway?

He gotta get over to Freddy Auto Body.

I wonder what's going on in there.

Gotta go!

Pff.
