Snowfall

He's bringing cocaine into the United States

to fight an illegal war, and we're supposed to protect him?

We have to get this reporter under control.

If we don't stop this, there is no tomorrow.

If your story is true--

a government agency waging an illegal war,

dealing drugs--

well, then you of all people should know that there's nothing

they won't do to kill that story.

Need to be begging for forgiveness,

all the shit you done put us through.

I'm gonna step in front of the bullet,

like I always have,

to keep y'all safe.

Now let me get us out of this,

like I got us out of every other motherfucking thing else!

When I tell you that I'm-a kill Leon

and Franklin for what they did to your baby,

I mean that.

How's your brother doing?

Uh, what made you think of him?

I just know he was transferred from CYA to Chino, right?

Wonder how he's getting along.

-You saw who it was, right? -

It was that little girl's mama.

The minute I finish sitting with her,

we're gonna get these motherfuckers.

They got Louie.

And just so you know,

Jerome and his folks

talking a lot of shit.

Gonna come at you tonight.

Let 'em come.

They funeral.

Hey, T. -

How long you been playing me?

Me and my girls

was out at the Red Onion for my birthday.

Was having a good time,

doing our thing, when Drew comes in.

I didn't remember him at first, but...

But he remembered you.

That you and me had our thing back in the day.

Said y'all was cool now.

Partners.

Few weeks later, he shows up at the shop.

Figured he was trying to get some, you know.

Turns out he had an offer for me.

Pay you to find my plug.

A hundred grand.

He showed me the money.

Life-changing shit.

And all you had to do was

slither up to me...

play me for a fucking fool,

like I never meant shit to you.

That was a long time ago.

But since you went there,

I remember I was real important to you

until you got what you wanted,

and then you was off to the next best thing.

I was a fucking kid, T.

And now you ain't.

And neither am I.

So I told Drew I'd do it.

I went to your auntie's for New Year's and I saw you.

And we talked.

And I remembered why I fell for you in the first place.

I went home, called Drew, told him I was out.

That's a cute story.

But I don't see how it gets us to where we are right now.

Why you think?

Because Drew wasn't having it.

Turned that carrot to a stick.

Said he'd kill me and Julius.

When I refused...

...he had a grip of Compton niggas

jump my baby brother, beat him half to death-- he almost died

-in the penitentiary -

all alone-- fuck was I supposed to do?

You were supposed to come to me!

You were supposed to tell me the truth.

And if I had?

I'm supposed to believe you would've forgave me?

From what I hear, you ain't big on mercy these days.

Well, I guess we'll never know.

Sup?

Fuck, all right. Uh, keep him there.

All right?

Fuck. Uh, k-keys.

What's going on?

Stay with her.

I'll be back.

The fuck is you doing here?!

I paged him.

Paged him?

Man up, nigga.

Man up.

Man up, nephew, come on.

I want the motherfuckers who shot Louie as bad as you do.

Okay? I do, but we got to be smart.

God invented Uzis so niggas ain't got to be smart.

Manboy knows what happened.

Knows you.

He gonna be waiting for you.

Go down there now, they gonna be ready.

They gonna

kill you and everybody

who's dumb enough to go with you.

We good.

You been wrong at every turn.

I'm done following.

We good.

Tanosse's been working with Manboy.

Playing me...

all of us, for months.

How the fuck does that feel?

Ain't so fun when the rabbit got the gun, huh?

-But we got it now, Unc. -Yeah.

We can use Tanosse-- feed Manboy bad intel,

get the drop on his ass, set his ass up.

You'll get your revenge, but our way, not his.

I'm tired of you fucking plotting.

This ain't easy, but it ain't got to be complicated.

Yeah, well...

Come on, let's ride.

Ah. Can't let you do this.

You got two seconds to get out my way, man.

This what you want?

So be it. Come on.

Hey, y'all ain't got to do this shit.

No, you stay right where you at.

Yeah? Come on, boy.

Come on. Come on!

Come on. What's up?

You want some more?!

You stay the fuck down!

Yeah.

When your sister...

huh, and your wife...

ask me what I did to stop you...

...I'm-a tell 'em I did everything I could.

Come on!

Hmm?!

Come on!

You a stubborn motherfucker.

I'm sorry about Louie.

But you should know, everything that went down

happened because of Khadijah, not Manboy.

-I already told 'em, T. -I swear,

I never gave him any information that would put y'all at risk...

Make the fucking phone call.

- -

Five Crips in a Cutlass times two, you buster.

Man, you be cheatin'.

Nigga, my money long as Rosecrans.

The fuck I'm-a cheat your broke ass for?

-Yeah, yeah. -Yeah, count 'em up and wash them dishes, nigga.

: Pencil-lookin' motherfucker.

All right.

Better have some good news for me.

Franklin's agreed to take you to the plug.

Yeah, you already said that.

Yeah, I know...

I meant he's ready to actually take you.

In person.

You never did tell me how you finally

managed to get this shit done.

You told me to, so I did.

Yeah, I've been telling you that for a while.

What changed?

Well, if you really want to know the truth...

I do.

It was... Louie getting shot.

Franklin was over here talking about

how he could either go to war and people would just

keep dying or y'all could just work together.

I mean, come on, you know Franklin.

He gonna always do what's best for business.

How Jerome feel about that?

They got into it.

But eventually Jerome realized

he ain't trying to go to war either.

Where he want to meet at?

Under a bridge by some arches.

Said you'd know it.

I know the place.

Tell him me and mine'll be there.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.
