I need to get at you for a second, man.
Oh, you need to get at me?
That's cute. Yeah, that's what I said.
Well, anything you got to say to me,
you can say it in front of my folks.
You sure that's what you want?
Most definitely.
I want my money.
(LAUGHS)
Well, you got a real funny way of asking.
Wasn't no question.
What's that mean to you, on your chest?
(CHUCKLES) What's that mean to me?
That means God is great
'cause he continues to forgive me,
even though I'm the biggest sinner there is.
I don't believe that.
You still going to church every Sunday, ain't you?
You used to be over at New Birth,
but now you're at World Changers, huh?
And your Aunt Cici plays keys there.
Going on six years now, wow.
Hmm. I wonder what she'd think about you
having a four-five by your waist.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Also, word of advice. If you're wearing an ankle monitor,
you might not want to carry a gun
unless you want to do another 10 years.
That what you want?
Huh?
And I don't know what your fake-fur-coat-wearing ass
ain't doing at home.
Now, your girl's due any day now.
Side chick about to have a baby, too,

Suggestion. Maybe when you're at the hospital,
you can put 'em both in the same room.
Spare you the back-and-fucking-forth.
Look at me when I'm talking to you, Litty.
God is great.
God is powerful, yeah.
But even more so, God is all-knowing.
And that is what makes him scary as shit.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
So I'mma ask you one more time.
Where's my motherfucking money, Litty?
I ain't playing with you. Where's my money?
Look, Priest, you know I got you.
You ain't got shit. Literally.
You're three months behind on your mortgage payments,
and I don't care how many gangsters from Joyland
you got with you. Ain't nobody more gangster than a bank.
Come on, Litty, you're going broke.
You and I both know that, right?
I mean, the diamonds around your neck,
- they're not even real. - Come on, don't do that.
Look, let me work it off.
Look, you give me some bricks, I can move 'em.
You're being serious?
You ain't sold shit since you was trappin' at that car wash
on G-Road.
And you weren't even good at that.
You are a rapper. Stay rapping.
Go back out on the road, get them commas up,
bring me back that check.
In the meantime, I'mma take them keys.
- My keys? - My keys.
Come on, now.

Let's go.
Hey, cash my chips out, too.
EDDIE: I don't know how many times
I got to tell you this, man. Fuck the Sno Patrol!
Seriously, man. A bunch of grown-ass men
who dressing like they deserve to all be shot.
I'm not going to war with Sno Patrol.
But Juju don't get a fucking pass.
- So how you wanna do it? - We're not doing anything.
It doesn't matter how smart you are
in a world of stupid motherfuckers
that'll shoot at you over some petty shit.
EDDIE: What are you talking about?
PRIEST: Listen to what I'm saying.
We have been operating without the police knowing about us,
feds knowing about us, under the radar.
All of that shit's about to change.
A fucking girl was shot last night, Eddie.
It's a miracle she survived.
The city's gonna be all over it.
Sno Patrol's about to clap back at us.
Think about it, now.
Everybody who's been at the top of the game been got.
Right? They end up dead or in jail almost always
because of their ego, wanting more than they should want.
Everybody wants to be great, nigga.
Everybody wants to be superfly. They want to be us.
But it's fucking time, nigga.
You dance with the devil long enough...
(SIGHS) He's bound to step on your feet.
You sound like that fucking bullet hit you
in your fucking head.
All right, look, all our years,
we never had to body anyone, Eddie. Why is that?
Because when they think you gonna do it,
you don't have to. It's leverage.
No, it's 'cause bodies leave a stink on you.
Not talking about a stink that bring no police.
I'm talking about a stink that you can never shake.
A stink that will bring you down.
EDDIE: I get it, Priest. You don't have
to fucking preach to me, okay? It's not Sunday.
If you get it, then you hear what I'm saying.
I want out the cocaine business.
You just emotional.
I get it. You almost got got.
But the game has been good to us.
- Man, we ain't leaving nothing. - Not yet.
A'ight.
One last deal.
One last score so big that we will never have
to look over our shoulder again. Not for no cop,
not for no crook, not for nobody.
Man, how long you been thinking about this shit?
'Cause you don't just think about ideas.
Look, I've always had an exit plan, Eddie. Always.
We have got to do this shit
before I fucking kill somebody, Eddie,
or a motherfucker kills me.
I'mma talk to Scatter.
I'mma have him turn the faucet on blast.
And I'll ask him to up our supply.
- (CHUCKLES) - What?
You know, that sound like a fucking joke.
We got a better chance robbing a fucking bank.
He will do it for me. We got real history.
So, are you in?
Priest, you're my fucking brother.
Tell me that you're in.
I got you.
(GRUNTS)
Weight on the shoulder, hips down.
A'ight. That's it for today, class.
Scatter, school's getting bigger.
Lot of students.
It's a real legitimate business, wow.
It's not just a front anymore.
Just like that art gallery you bought your girl.
Not even a year later,
and you rubbing elbows with Atlanta's upper echelon,
hanging out with the penthouse crew.
(CHUCKLES)
That's a smart move for you.
Smart move for both of us. Come on, now.
It's not easy being a dope dealer
without looking like one.
Glove up.
Nah, I'm not trying to do all that. I came down here...
When do you come to my gym and not glove up?
I know you miss your favorite student. Just say it.
Yeah, I miss kicking your ass.
Now you about to get it.
- You sure? - Oh, yeah.
I want to talk to you about something.
So talk.
I want to up our supply.
- For what? - There's more to be had.
We good with what we got. So why?
I understand the way we've been doing things.
All right, I do, but we're missing
a lot of opportunity on the street.
You know what I'm saying?
We're just leaving money on the table.
What color belt am I in jiu-jitsu?
- Black. - That's right.
You ain't never see me wear no belt, do you?
And if it is, it's brown. You want to know why?
'Cause people respect me, but they leave me be.
They see black,
and motherfuckers start asking questions.
They might even be fool enough to test me.
We leave money on the table so we don't get caught.
But if you see an opportunity, you got to take it.
Sometimes the opportunity ain't what it looks like.
You ever hear that saying,
"If it's too good to be true, it probably is"?
Maybe we're just that good.
You ain't that good.
And the answer's no.
I'm not upping your supply.
(SIGHS)
JUJU: I don't get it, Q.
Q: You owe me $50,000.
I had to pay that girl you shot,
her and her friends, to keep they mouth shut.
You know if I would've knew that shit,
I would've paid them hos a visit.
A visit?
- Nah, the cash work every time. - Let me guess.
You want to pay this nigga Priest in gold, right?
Priest? You still on that shit?
- I told you to drop that. - What the fuck would you do
- if a nigga put his hands on you, Q? - The fuck you mean?
I would've whacked that bitch! But that's me, not you!
You need to let that shit go. You fucking up my money.

How 'bout that?

You think Scatter's gonna be okay with you
going around him to get to his connect?

Now, you see that guy there in the hat?
- That's the head of the cartel. - How you know?
- The song. - What are you talking about?
It's a narcocorrido.
Ballads that tell stories of real-life drug kingpins,
and this one in particular was about the Gonzalez brothers.
And that's Adalberto. He's one of 'em.
EDDIE: You would know some shit like that.
You say brothers. I see one,
but where's the other one?
What do you think they talking about?
Drugs, nigga.

You up now?

but I'm not going into Mexico.
Texas is where I draw the line. I am a domestic nigga.
- I need to stay on this side. - But we gotta go to the source.
All right? This is our chance.
No, that's Juarez on the other side.
I don't want to go nowhere where the J's is silent.

and then they're gonna bury us in the fucking desert.
No, they won't.

No, the song didn't tell me. I just know shit.

Your boss.

What the fuck is up with that?
If you know who I am, then you know,
in all my years, I've never once been arrested, not once.
The only record I have is a juvenile one, and it's sealed.
Now, I've made this risk
'cause although I'm careful, I'm very ambitious.
Scatter's trying to put a ceiling over my head,
but I can go much higher than that.
- And why do I care? - You care because your mother.
(GROANS)
(EXHALES) I meant no disrespect.
No, please elaborate.
PRIEST: They're playing well this year. Guanajuato.
So far. Are you a fan?
More like a student of the game.
Really?
And what a season El Blanco is having! Wow.
Yeah, he's the best.
The best scorer probably in the league,
but not the best player on the team.
No, that would be Rafa.
See, Rafa's the defender,
the backbone of the team,
but never scores any goals, so nobody ever talks about him.
Nobody appreciates him.
El Blanco may get all the glory,
but he's nothing without Rafa.
Your mother, queen of the Gonzalez cartel,
she favors your brother over you, doesn't she?
What's his name? Augustin?

What the fuck do you know about my family?
So you read Mexican tabloids, like a housewife?
Where did you get this one from?
Metro? La Prensa?
Leavenworth Times!
- What? - That's where I got it from.
I got people in prison, too.
I'm not your average dope boy, Mr. Gonzalez.
Don't let the pretty hair fool you.
I got eyes everywhere.
And?
Information is power.
And power is priceless. You know that.
What else do you know?
I know that your mother
sees the volume Augustin's bringing in,
and she thinks it's 'cause he's bold.
I think it's 'cause he's sloppy.
That's why he's in Leavenworth right now.
'Cause unlike you, he's messy. He talks too much.
How else you think I know all your family business?
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
ADALBERTO: So you're suggesting
that you can distribute a much higher volume for me
and maintain my relatively limited exposure?
I wouldn't gamble my life for no suggestion, now.
Mr. Gonzalez, allow me to be
your glory.
Thank you.
I'm gonna give you triple the supply
I was providing Scatter, to start with.
Sounds good.
But I'm not gonna front it to you. You'll pay me.
Not a problem.
(EDDIE SIGHS)
(LAUGHS) What the fuck did they do to your hair?
Oh, boy, I thought I wasn't gonna see you.
We got motherfucking work to do now.
You're driving.
PRIEST'S MOTHER: Where the hell you been?
PRIEST: Out with friends.
PRIEST'S MOTHER: What friends?
Friends like Scatter?
What did I tell you about him, boy?
You stay around him, and you'll wind up
in county or in a coffin.
PRIEST: It's because of Scatter that we pay our bills.
It's because of him that we can keep this house.
PRIEST'S MOTHER: If keeping this house means
you working for that man, I don't need this damn place!
Get your things and get out!
PRIEST: Mama, will you just listen, please?
PRIEST'S MOTHER: You told me you'd stop working for Scatter.
- You lied to me! - PRIEST: I'm doing all of this for you!
Why don't you get that?
PRIEST'S MOTHER: Don't give me that. You're doing it for yourself.
PRIEST: Mama, please, stop!

I'mma handle that nigga. Don't even worry about it.
What make you so sure Priest did this?
You ain't seen shit.
We ain't got no word from the streets yet...
Q, fuck the word on the street.
Me and him tussle. Now this shit? Who else you think did this shit?
That ain't Priest's style.
I don't give a fuck about his style, Q.
- He did it! I'm trying to tell you! - Hold on, man.
Take some of that motherfucking bass out your voice!
Fuck wrong with you?
Take care of Miss Mary! That's all you need to be worried about!

Hold on.
Let's hang up another victim.
I swear I'mma start naming these motherfuckers.
I need to ask you something, Eddie.
I did it.
I didn't pull the trigger, but I definitely pushed the button.
Fat Freddie got it done.
I thought I made myself clear, Eddie.
What the fuck do you mean, you made yourself clear?
- I said leave them alone. - I thought we were partners.
I get a say-so in this shit, too.
The fuck?
You're my brother, Priest.
Somebody come at my brother. They come at me.
If they come at me, they get got.
- You started a war. - No, I didn't.
They was gonna come for you regardless.
Fuck Sno Patrol! You said that shit yourself.
We gonna be long gone by the time
they're an issue for us anyway, trust me.
That's the problem, Eddie. That's the fucking problem.
We are supposed to trust each other. Are we not?
You don't always have to tell me the truth. That's not trust.
Me doing right by you,
you doing right by me. That's trust!
Haven't I always done right by you?
Whatever, nigga. Just don't fucking lie to me again.
- I'm serious. - A'ight.
I don't care what your definition of trust is, either.
Mmm. You want to hug it out?
Huh? I'm right here.
Hug this.
(APPLAUSE)
God, give me the strength to lead these people
to righteousness, to prosperity,
and to a better city.
God, give these good people

God bless you.
God bless ATL.
- Thank you. - (CROWD CHEERING)
Georgia, my goodness, look at this turnout.
Well, you have a ton of supporters, Your Honor.
That I may, but not normally amongst this crowd.
- (CHUCKLES) - Come work with me already.
I already work for you, sir.
You are single-handedly expanding my base.
In the words of Christ himself, "I have other sheep
"that are not of this pen.
"But I need these also."
And you, my dear, know all the cool sheep.
Yes, I do.
Wow. Powerful, isn't it?
It is beautiful.
You know he paints murals as well, this guy,
out on the streets?
He's known to use found materials.
GEORGIA: Well, some of my favorite artists use found materials.
I feel it brings a sense of reality to the work.
Yeah. Of course.
Turning trash into millions.
Mmm. Artists are hustlers.
And everyone loves a hustler, don't they, Mayor Atkins?
They just can't help it.
Why don't you show me another piece?
What's wrong with this piece?
Nothing.
Good.
Because you just bought it.
- Did I? - Yes.
How much did I spend?
(INAUDIBLE)
- I'll talk to you in a minute. - GEORGIA: Okay.
- WOMAN: Hi. - Hi.
- Thank you. You look so good. - WOMAN: You look good.
How you doing?
If you left me in a roach-infested trap house,
I wouldn't feel nearly as dirty as I do right now
next to His Honor.
Oh, my God, is that a bathing suit under there?
PRIEST: Baby, I'm sorry,
- but you've got to stay close to him. - Why?
- What's the play here? - There's no play right now.
That's something for a rainy day.
I got to make a call.
(PHONE RINGING)
PRIEST: Yo, are they there yet?
No, not yet.
We have an exhibition at the San Francisco MOMA
opening next week.
- Okay. - And I thought it'd be dope
- to do something here, too. - Are you kidding me?
I would love that. That would be absolutely amazing.
- Good seeing you. - ARTIST: Good to see you.
- Take care. Hey. - ARTIST: I will.
- 'Sup? - You got to go.
Let me call you back.
This look like a mixtape release party to you, nigga?
It ain't that kind of event.
- Bitch, go do your job. - "Bitch"?
PRIEST: Look, I got this, baby.
Let's chop it up downstairs real quick.
I got it, baby. Go on and mingle. Come on.
So what's going on, man?
$23,000 for this shit?
She got a better hustle than we do.
Yeah, she's got an eye for it.
Funny you should say that.
I lost an eye the other day.
Yeah, my condolences. I heard about that.
You sure that's all you did was hear about it?
PRIEST: (SIGHS) Come on, now, Q.
You ever known me to be petty about some shit like that?
Especially if it ain't got nothing to do with business.
I wasn't even in the A when your man got hit.
That don't mean shit. All it take is one phone call.
It does mean something.
If I was a petty-ass nigga and wanted to do something
'cause Juju tried to pull a gun out on me,
don't you think I'd do it myself? I don't need no damn help.
But I didn't. I didn't make no calls, and I was out of town.
Where the fuck your boy Eddie was, though?
With me.
Sure he was.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Just a little something.
You're too sweet.

being served in your own house.
GEORGIA: You earned it.
You, all of us, really,
are always exactly where we're meant to be.
- You believe that? - I do.
When I was in school, this girl Janelle
lived like this her whole life.
In college, her dad actually got arrested.
He was a big money guy,
something to do with the financial crisis.
He ripped off a bunch of old people.
It was a big deal. Made it to the news.
His case went from front page news
to back page write-up about some bullshit fine
- and a small settlement. - (CHUCKLES)
I learned then that the difference
between a businessman and a crook
is the type of lawyer you can afford.
Is that what you see me as? As a crook?
No.
I see a man, my man,
taking care of his business
and getting things right so that, when this is all done,
you can be free.
- (LOUD POP) - (SERVER GASPS)
I'm so sorry about that.
PRIEST: You're fine.

Hey, man, you still down to talk, right?
- Yeah. - Yo.
I really need you to hear me out, man.
Freddie, you got to take it easy, now.
I done told you, I got you. Relax.
Everybody, listen up!
I just want to start off by saying thank you.
Okay? I want to say thank you to my team.
I want to say thank you to every single one of y'all.
I know it's been hard on you, laying low,
staying off the grid and still being hard at work,
but y'all been doing that, and I'm proud of y'all.

- PRIEST: What's going on, baby? - What's happening? What's happening?
Look, I need you to fall back a little bit.
Word will get out about a price drop.
People being how people are, they'll start asking questions.
You know, asking how, asking why.
Now, Racks, they find out that we're flooding the market,
we're gonna have beef we don't need. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Priest, I respect that, and we don't need no beef.
But for me to move the amount of work you want me to move,
at the pace you want me to move,
we got to cut the numbers.
Then cut the numbers. I don't care.
I just need you to move it somewhere else.
I got people in Cashville.
They can move whatever the fuck we throw at 'em.
You got your lane, Freddie.
We don't need these motherfuckers, man.

No, but seriously, look.
The way shit is going right now,
like, the numbers we doing right now,
we should've been doing since day one.
Shit is moving smooth like butter.
Like, you a fucking genius, Priest. I can't even lie.
Who's to say we can't keep this shit up?
Hmm?
Who's to say we can't be bigger than the Sno Patrol
with they bitch ass?
Like, seriously, the way shit is running right now
is the reason we got in the game in the first place.
Is that a George Daniels on your wrist?
Oh, yeah.
I ain't show you this bitch yet, right?
(SNICKERS)
It's nice, but do you think it's smart
to be wearing that at this time?
Hmm?
At this party?
These dumb motherfuckers don't even know what they're looking at.
- Doesn't matter. - I'm not talking about them, Eddie.
I'm talking about the police.
One cop sees you wearing a $600,000 watch,
he's gonna wonder how that nigga got that.
That's all it takes. One thread, Eddie. One...
Yeah, to unravel the whole fucking sweater.
Priest, I get it. God damn!
This fucking preaching. You know what I'mma do?
I'mma take the watch home. I'm gonna put it inside a safe,
and put it in another safe,
and then forget I got the fucking watch.
That make you happy?

Now, see, when you say it like that,
it makes me feel like this is a shakedown.
- Franklin, is this a shakedown? - Definitely.
This is a place of business, right?
We're gonna be partners.
We don't just offer that to anybody.
Like Sno Patrol.
They got multiple investigations on them
at multiple agencies.
They could go down at any minute.
I've been waiting a long time
to find someone who operates with your kind of discretion.
How much?
Partners means partners.
Fifty-fifty.
- We'll earn our share, right? - That's right.
Heads-up on raids, patrols, et cetera, et cetera.
But in the meantime, I feel like
we need to have some kind of goodwill gesture.

You're the reason we're in this shit.
- What? - You're the reason that Freddie's dead.
Fuck you, Priest.
I'm wrong?
If you didn't give him that brick, he'd still be alive.
If you didn't want to expand,
I would've never gave him the fucking brick!
He wanted to get put on.
There's no coming back from that.
Now we in the bed with the fucking police forever.
Not forever. It's gonna take longer than I thought
'cause of your dumb ass, but we stick to the plan, Eddie.
What plan? You still talking about
this dumb-ass shit about us getting out the game
and finding somewhere safe to land?
We black men!
There ain't nowhere safe on this fucking planet!
So what you wanna do?
You want to stay here, right?
That's our best fucking option!
We rolling with the police now.
It's in their best interest to protect us and keep us out of jail.
Until it isn't!
Until they do to us what they did to Freddie
'cause they own you until they kill you.
Why are you such a goddamn fool, nigga?
Me? Who got us into this shit?
You did this shit, Priest! Not me!
Eddie, touch me again, nigga. I swear...
- What the fuck you gonna do, Priest? - Touch me...
What the fuck you gonna do, Priest?
Motherfucker!
Yeah!
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Fuck you doing, Priest?
You motherfucker!
(CHOKING)
Fuck!
(COUGHING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
GEORGIA: I've been in touch with the consulate
where we can be citizens of a country with no extradition treaty.
- The police can't touch us. - They're not police.
- They're murderers. - CYNTHIA: If they're murderers,
how else we gonna get rid of them?
We don't. We get rid of ourselves.
(CYNTHIA SPEAKS SPANISH)
These dirty-ass cops, Sno Patrol, they're violating us.
We shouldn't have to run from anyone.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
We should wipe them all out.
Now, who gonna do all that gangsta shit, you?
If I have to.
I've done this shit, remember?
Then what?
Hmm?
You're gonna end up on the run anyway,
or you're gonna end up in a cage, so stop it.
- We have enough to leave. - It's not enough.
GEORGIA: What's enough?
$2 million? 5? 25?
Or until you end up like Fat Freddie?
I don't give a damn about any of that shit.
I give a damn about you.
CYNTHIA: Think, Priest,
about everything that you've built.
Don't be so quick to throw it all away
just 'cause you're going through some shit.
I can't believe you right now.
- Yeah, 'cause you're fucking soft. - "Soft"?
I've had his back since day one,
and I had your back since day one,
so don't give me not shit about being soft...
- Stop. Stop! - Everything is warm and fuzzy to you.
Both of you shut the fuck up!
- (SPEAKING SPANISH) - I don't know who you think
you're talking to!
But I am on your side, okay? I'm trying to get us out of this!
Look. Look, you're right. You're right. You're right, okay?
We're gonna get our money. We're gonna get our passports,
and after Freddie's funeral, we will get away for good.
Do you understand?
(SIGHS)
(MEN SPEAKING CANTONESE)
Another option to gain a passport is to invest $1.5 million U.S.
into a government-approved real estate project,
and you can have your citizenship for only $500,000 each.
Do you take cash?
Well, of course.

(SIGHS)
What is he doing here?
Oh, I'm on mandatory leave.
It's standard procedure after an officer-involved shooting.
Figured I'd pay my respects to the money you owe us.
Jesus. Clearly, this was a bad idea.
Why don't you just give us what we came for.
We'll get out of your silky smooth hair.
Were you beaten as a child?
All the time.
Nice bag.
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
No offense.
Trust has to be earned, right?
It's good.
Think you got it bad?
I got to work with this guy every day.
(SIGHS)
My condolences.
You reaching for the burner in the center trap?
- I know how you think. - Scatter...
Shut the fuck up.
So you put a man on me, huh?
That's cool. I could put a man on you, too.
- Scatter, I have a plan. I've been... - Shh.
Come on, let's take a ride.
(ENGINE REVS)
Look, will you just take this L, Scatter, please?
Get out while you still can.
Take the L, huh? (CHUCKLES)
You know, there's a difference between getting out
and being pushed out.
I won't stand for that, Youngblood.
You literally could've taken
any kid off the corner and put him under your wing,
but you chose me.
- Why? - Them other young boys, back then,
they only wanted to hustle for the money and the flash.
Everybody want to be somebody.
Want to be a trap star. (LAUGHS)
Want to be superfly.
Not you.
You were different.
Cared less about that stuff.
Who the fuck is that?
It's Priest. My man I was telling you about.
- He got it all planned out. - SCATTER: So these fools think
they can come in my cut and set up a trap, huh?
Without even checking in?
Well, time to pay the tax.
Man, why don't we just spray 'em?
Nah, man, pulling that trigger ain't gonna make it no better.
In fact, it'll make it worse.
See, the trick is, you got to get past that guard out front.
Hey, he's about to be gone in a minute.
How the fuck you know that?
PRIEST: He thinks he's about to meet
an 18-year-old freshman from Georgia State.
I been catfishing him for about a month now, so...
SCATTER: A month, you say?
That's a pretty big commitment, youngblood.
Okay. Are you ready?
SCATTER: One of the main things I admired about you
was the fact that you thought big.
Look at your clothes, for example.
I taught you how to dress, but you took it way, way left.
With your Morris Day-looking hair.
Excuse me? Who the... Who the fuck is Morris Day?
(CHUCKLES)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Is it true, Priest?
You were gonna leave town?
Abandon our business?
(GUN COCKING)
No. Never.
Look, he's mad 'cause he got cut out.
I don't blame him for that, but he's lying.
Adalberto, how many years I been working for you and your family?
Have I ever lied to you?
As a matter fact, Scatter, you have.
- (GUN FIRES) - (GROANS)
ADALBERTO: This is an alkaline hydrolysis machine.
It's much friendlier on the environment than cremation.
You and I, Priest, we share similar values.
We both abhor unnecessary violence.
My brother Augustin on the other hand, he was out of control.
You obviously are aware of his reputation.
That's why I had to send him to prison.
That's right.
I sent my own brother to prison.
My own stereotypical, ruthless,
bloody kingpin, who was eventually gonna bring down
the whole family. No.
That's unacceptable.
I know you can understand that, Priest.
You, you're better than advertised.
You're better than Scatter ever was.
So good that I had to question myself.
Scatter had always been one of our best earners.
So how come your numbers were so much better?
Even after adjusting for the increase in volume.
Didn't make sense.
So I had to take a closer look at his business.
A much closer look.
He was stealing from me.
A little skim every other month.
Not much.
But he knew better than that.
And now that he's gone,
there's no way you're leaving the game.
Good night, Priest.
Drive safely.
(INAUDIBLE)
Yes, sir.
Go buy yourself some new fits.
Why, so we can buy some crazy-ass clothes like you?
Yeah, I know I must be looking real crazy to you right now,
but do you know why a tiger has stripes?
Why a lion has a mane?
It's to warn the other animals that they are not to be fucked with.
Stop by tomorrow. Got some more work for y'all.
Ain't too many shorties know how to work the long game.
Baby, you got to talk to me.
What's going on?
Scatter, he took me to the connect,
and they killed him.
They what?
They ain't never gonna let me out.
Never.
Priest, we have to leave.
I know.
Call Cynthia.
- GEORGIA: Cyn! - PRIEST: Cynthia?
- Cynthia, where are you? Cyn? - Cyn? Cynthia?
What's up?
Okay, why are you not dressed? What's going on?
Look, I understand that this is serious, but, like...
No, no, I don't think you understand...
I understand better than the both of y'all.
Okay? The shit that we're going through now,
that's what happens when you grow.
You either have the heart for it, or you don't.
We're gonna weather the storm.
"Weather the storm." Okay, we're just gonna leave your shit here.
All right? Come on.
Upstairs. Go.

PRIEST: Grab my gun. I'm gonna come around.
You shoot out the windshield so he can't see.
Now!
Q: What the fuck?
I pray to God I don't remember anything about this day.
I keep thinking about Cynthia's last moment before she...
She must have been so scared.
PRIEST: I'm sorry.
For all this.
What are we gonna do now?
I don't know.
(SIGHS WEARILY)
Scatter was right.
This is all on me.

Today's a rainy day.
It's time to use it.
If we do this, there's no going back.
There never was.

You switching up on your boy Priest so quick?
Priest ain't my boy, not no more.
Them days over.
Priest still in town?
Yeah.
And he trying to make a move.
But he gonna need some money to do it.
I know where the money is.
I mean, I could tell you, but, you know, I need some guarantees.
JUJU: All right, well, let's go get him.
Yo, Priest!

Good.
MAYOR ATKINS: Welcome, citizens of this great city.
Just like I told you all when you elected me mayor,
we would be creating these community centers,
and I'm proud to open another one.
Thank you. God bless Atlanta.
Don't forget to get out and vote.
Mr. Mayor, you mind if I get a selfie with you?
MAYOR ATKINS: Well, of course.
- Yes, sir. - MAYOR ATKINS: (ON VIDEO) Party time.

I want a few things. I want you to make some calls.
I want you to pull some strings, get me a file.
Do that, I won't just give you this video.
- I'll give you something else. - What's that?
The election.

Please don't call this fake news.
You've been spending too much time in America.
Mama... (SPEAKING SPANISH)
I did it for the sake of the family, mama!
I did it for us!
For the family? That's crap.
Augustin is a pain in the ass and occasionally stupid, very stupid.
But he never ratted on the family when he went to prison.
I would have respected you more if you killed him.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Mama, don't do this! Please! Please!
...I beg you! I'm your son!
No, you WERE my son.

You better be after what I just did for you.
Well, for us, actually.
I mean, we are partners, right?
You hear me?
Sno Patrol, done.
Took care of your little problem.
Nah. I take care of my own problems.

- OFFICER 2: Atlanta PD! - OFFICER 1: Don't move!
WOMAN: (ON RADIO) On Wednesday, a dramatic arrest
occurred downtown of a career detective
in the Atlanta Police Department.
With this and the recent takedown of the local drug ring Sno Patrol,
polling indicates that Mayor Atkins has a six-point lead
over all other candidates and is expected to run away with the election.
He made the following statement.
MAYOR ATKINS: When I was first elected,
I promised to weed out corruption in the Atlanta PD.
I'm a man of God and a man of my word, and I look forward to continue guiding
this fine city of Atlanta towards the light
of a bright and prosperous future.
Surprised you made it with all this heat.
Nothing gonna keep me from my money.
You're not nervous?
I made a few phone calls.
They ain't got shit on me.
I'm a hero.
Mayor himself said so.
See, he can't have me looking dirty,
especially when there's an election at stake.
Let's go.
What the fuck?
(GROANS)
Oh, shit. No, no, no. No, no, no.
All right, hold on, chill. Chill the fuck out.
Let's talk this through.
Oh, like how you talked to Freddie?
- Come on, man. - Motherfucker.
