You're all messed up.
Could smell you from the damn boat.
Get down, get down, get down.
He sent his wife and his daughter away.
And what did I do, Stella?
Right in the middle of the problem.
That's where I put you! You shouldn't have been here.
We managed to undercut some of Guizer's user base, but...
I mean, they, they just got too much exposure.
SchoolYard.
They selling their user data to the highest bidder.
They need to reinvent themselves.
We would inherit all their users.
This is blackmail.
They're gonna migrate their users
to our network within the week.
Ohh...
Okay, okay. Do it again, Queen.
Drink.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, now go back to Guizer's numbers.
Those aren't very good.
I think maybe we should just drink
out of sheer schadenfreude.
That's not the game.
Shut up, bitch.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, now just keep switching back and forth.
- Go back to our numbers. - Okay.
Queen?
Did you see that?
Uh-huh.
Drink?
Drink.
Whoo!
_
I mean, Jesus Christ, look at you all.
Humble... little army of young dreamers.
I salute you because in four short months,
you managed to supplant a tech giant.
A corporate Goliath and knocked 'em right out of the market.
While I know that I am much better looking than Alex Bell...
Why is that funny?
Oh...
Why is that funny?!
Kidding.
And while our friends at Guizer were funded
by Axis and all of its partners,
suffice it to say...
we fuckin' smoked 'em.
Whoo!
And of course you all worked your god given asses off.
Sacrificed more than anybody will ever know.
So...
Here's to the ones who matter.
By the way, you will all be presented
with a small bill for tonight's meal.
And we do not take GenCoin.
All right, bring all your cups together.
Finna waterfall this right here.
Here we go! Here we go!
Just like old times.
All right, I wanna say something though.
Something to my niggas.
Let me holla at y'all. Bring it in, bring it in!
We had some differences, right?
But y'all was there.
Through thick and thin.
Y'all niggas lifted me up when a nigga was down.
Like on some R&B shit.
And I was real down!
Real talk.
I lost my son.
They say that's the cost of livin' in the hood.
I say I ain't finna pay that price no more.
You feel me?
We gonna change the streets for your kids, boy.
E! For your kids!
To Touie, boy!
Touie!
- Touie! - Touie.

Mm-hmm.
It looks good, doesn't it?
Hm...
Doesn't it?

Hey, hey, look at me.
Just this one night, can you just...

He don't pay back nobody!
He take that money and buy a pig.
And remember them alligator shoes?
Oh!
Oh my God, them shoes though.
Them now and later gators.
- Take that right there. - I didn't take...
Now and later gators!
Alligator! See you later!
Come here.
- You want some? - Nah.
Oh, so...
You can talk to me, ya know?
Talk to you? What you mean talk to you, girl?
I know you're hurting.
I do.
And you're hurting all alone.
No one...
No one should ever have to do that.
Hey.
Let me help you out.
Wait-wait-wait-wait-wait.
Wait-wait, wait! Wait, no, wait.
Wait-wait, slow down, slow down.
Stop-stop-stop-stop. Stop.
For real.
I can't do this. Just sit down for a second.
Um...
You fine as hell.
Any nigga'd be lucky to have you.
But I got a girl.
And she a good one.
No, it's... it's all right.
- I'm sorry. - No, no, it's a'ight.
Nice party.
Sure was.
Get some sleep, okay?
So, um...
... I'm gonna need, uh, you and Nick to stop seeing each other.
What are you so afraid of in there?
Just looking out for my company.
Are you sure?
Not because you're afraid you might lose me?
Mmm...
Hey, Tam?
Yeah, Ronnie, is everything okay?
Ronnie?
I'm strugglin'.
Ronnie, what's going on?
I need to come see y'all.
I love you, baby.
I love you, too.
Stay with me, baby.
Stay with me.
Hey.
- Hi. - Here, scooch.
- I wanna show you something. - Might break it, but...
- You good? - Yeah.
- I wanted to show you... - Oh, my foot.
Sorry.
- Check it out. - What's this?
Well, I figured if I'm gonna be staying in Miami, then maybe...
You know, we could do it together.
Yeah.
I mean, I know we have to wait for things to blow over,
but... lay low, but...
I mean, I think it's perfect.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
For sure.
- Maybe, right? - Yeah.
Maybe? For sure, yeah.
- Let me see, show me more. - Sure, look.

Wes.
No, I know who you are.
Sure, we can do that.
I know a quiet spot.
Daddy!
Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Oh, baby!
Ooh.
Miss you so much. Did you miss me?
Yeah.
Hey, Rose.
Daddy's back.
Least I got someone to drink with now.
I'm sorry, baby, that was a crappy joke.
Nah, you good.
We gonna get hold of it together.
I'll quit, too.
I'm so sorry, Tam.
All that shit that I said to you.
Put you in the situation...
I shouldn't have put you in that situation.
We all right.
Are we?
We...
Gotta stop blaming each other.
And we gotta stop blaming ourselves.
We lost him...
'Cause that's the life.
And it wouldn't have mattered if he listened to you
or didn't listen to you or listened to me...
Or no one.
And where we at...
Where we had to raise him...
And where we raisin' Els now, that's...
That's just the life.
And I don't think you can change that.
Not you, not no one, just...
It's just the life.
But I can change it... for us.
That right?
I got a way.

Wes?
- Vera? - Pleasure.
- Alcohol beverage? - Sure.
Call this... Chichaito.
It's a Puerto Rican thing, all right?
The fishermen love this stuff because it...
Well, it messes them up.
Cheers.
Mmm...
Good burn, right?
- Sure. - 'Nother?
Um...
Do they have a Pinot Noir?
Sir?
They have beer.
- Okay. - Hey, Carlito!
I'm taking one a these.
Thanks.
So, um...
This wasn't your idea, was it? This meeting.
You and your team have done an impressive job.
Smart kids.
Yeah.
And, um, we are willing to concede
that there is not enough room in the marketplace.
For both Guizer and ArakNet.
You're probably right, yeah.
Same goes for, um...
competitive currencies.
You want us to accept GenCoin.
What do we get out of it?
I assume it's hard to run an economy
when your most prevalent currency is worthless.
Oh, no, no, we're, we're good with BitCoin.
DarkCoin, BlueCoin, DickCoin.
Lot of coins in the sea.
Maybe right now, but GenCoin is obviously the leader.
Vera, why don't you just say what you came here to say?
Put GenCoin on the network.
And you... stop tryin' to kill my kids.
Isn't that what you came here to say?
Anyway, I'll... I'll ask 'em.
See what they think.
- No. Hell no. - No, I no, but Izzy...
Do you know who these people are?
It's not about who they are, it's...
What they did, what they took from me?
Yes, yes, but we should still talk about it.
And we're gonna help them?
We're gonna help them make money?
In exchange for not killing you.
- It's kind of a good deal. - Shut up!
How does a bitch your size have such a big ass mouth?!
Hey, Jesus Christ.
Listen, can the three of us sidebar for a minute?
No, there is no three of you anymore.
There's the five of us now.
Take it to a vote.
- Vote on it tomorrow? - Tonight.
We vote tonight, 2200 hours.
All right.
_
I can't believe this is even a discussion.
I mean, these are the people that ripped us off.
They killed my sister.
I know, I think that's why we should consider it.
They dragged me out to the glades, Nick.
Yes... Because you messed with them.
We warned you not to.
Okay, so now you're on their side?
Not at all, not at all.
So, what is this?
- Are you guys for real? - Look, look...
We talked about this months ago.
We agreed to try and become too big to fail.
And now we are, we won.
And this is how we stay alive now.
We partner with GenCoin.
We make them completely reliant on us,
and they cannot hurt us anymore.
Where you at with this Ronnie? You haven't said anything.
I just need this to end.
What?
It's the right thing to do, Izzy.
This wouldn't have happened if you'd just done what I asked.
Why? What you want me to do, Izzy?
- Go on, spit. - At Deli's funeral...
Okay, go on.
You asked me what I wanted and I told you.
And you couldn't do it and here we are now.
How'd you want me to do it?
Tell me what you had in mind
when you asked me to just casually kill 'em?
Want me to go to each a they houses, just...
Hello?!
Pop 'em in front of their kids?
Or maybe I'll wait in the car.
Wait for 'em to get in.
Pow.
Before they see it coming.
Put that rope around their neck... and squeeze
until just before they go all the way.
I can tell, Nick.
There's a small window between them nodding off
and before they heart stop.
That's the sweet spot.
'Cause they feel what it's like to die.
Just for a second.
And when they wake up...
There's this relief.
'Cause they looked death in the face
and they beat that shit.
They survived.
That's where the fun starts for me.
That's when I whip out my blade.
And it ain't long 'fore they wishin' they'd just cashed out
when they had the chance.
And after I clean off my blade,
and my boys get rid of the body,
I go home and I sit down to dinner with my family.
And I stare at the people I love with the same eyes
that just stared into homeboy's soul
as I dug into his belly.
And I serve little Els mashed potatoes
with the same hand that did the cuttin'.
Then I kiss my family good night,
lay down in bed and I think about his family.
I think about his parents.
Think about what it's like the day he was born
and every day after that.
His first kiss, his first job.
Travels he had, friends he made.
'Cause no matter where that nigga went wrong,
he's still a human being. That's a life.
And that's when I talk to God!
I lay down in my bed and I pray!
I beg Him to forgive me, I beg!
Even though it's too late.
It's been too late for too damn long, but I pray!
I pray till the sun come up, Izzy.
That shit sound like fun?
'Cause let me tell you something, little girl.
It don't feel no different when I order the hit.
Think about that.
She'll walk.
- Really? - Yeah, 100%.
After everything, after all this success,
you really think she's gonna...
You don't know her, you don't know her.
Okay, but, I mean...
With or without her,
we wouldn't have to work in hiding anymore.
We could go public and attract
some of the best programmers in the world.
I know.
Look, I know this is hard, okay?
I know she's your friend.
But what about you?
Forget about her for a second. What's best for you?
For Ronald, for me... For you and me?
The GenCoin partnership, obviously.
Right.
Listen...
Whatever you decide, I'm with you.
I'll follow your lead, okay?
_
I'm not big on ceremony so let's just get to it.
Favor of using GenCoin as currency on ArakNet.
Izzy, look, uh...
... I can't even begin to understand
the pain that these people have caused you.
But I think this is the best thing
to keep us all safe, and it's definitely best for the company.
There it is, four to one.
I'll let the people at Axis know.
Can I have a...
Look, I, I know you're...
You're soft, Nick.
You're soft and you so desperately want not to be.
It's sad.
- I'm just trying to help... - That's why your girl left you.
That's why your daddy left you.
That's why Wes will leave you, too.
Only a matter of time before he realizes you ain't shit.
Look, I get it.
The thought of helping these Axis people
makes you sick.
I get it.
But...
I mean, you're smarter than that.
This partnership could change everything.
We could just live our lives, but...
I think you're afraid to let yourself be happy.
And that's...
maybe the saddest thing that I can think of, so...
Got $100 on you?
Say no.
- Me? - $100.
$100, uh...
Yeah, okay, sure, I'll play.
$100, I make three blows on the break.
- You in? - There's no way.
- $100. - I'm in.
All right, good. Watch and learn.
- Oh! - Shit!
What?!
All right, double or nothing.
- I clean up all these puppies... - No!
Before she even gets a shot.
- No. - No.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hang on? No way.
Hey, Ronald.
Can I get you a cigar?
Nah, it's good, I'm about to get up out of here.
Oh.
Did you call Raul?
Yeah, yeah, he's, uh, he's down there waiting on me.
Listen, man, you and me, we never get a chance to bond.
I been right here, bruh.
Well, wanna do something about that.
You like to fish?
Nah, man.
You don't need to do all that, bruh.
I'm done here, y'all.
I'm gonna ask for a buy out.
- What? - What?
- We're just getting started. - Yes.
And we called that truce with Vera, so...
Y'all don't need me no more.
Hey, this is your company, too.
It's about to be very different.
Ay, it's all good.
You guys are a legit company now.
You don't need no Haitian thug.
- Uh, hey, don't say that. - Trust me.
There's something I gots to do.
A'ight?
And I'ma need that money soon, too.
So, get together.
Figure out what it's gonna cost to get rid of me.
And I'll see y'all later, a'ight?
Have a good night.
I don't know...
Look, I just... I know you deserve better
than what you've gotten here, I know that.
But... you have to admit.
It's a pretty unique situation here for a minute.
Look, I get it, bruh, I get it, a'ight?
But y'all don't need me.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
What?!
Are you okay?
Go to the bathroom! Go to the bathroom!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Nick, you hit!
No, no! Ronald's shot.
Nick!
Ronnie! Ronnie! Oh, God, Ronnie!
No! No! No! Ronnie, Ronnie?
No, Ronnie, stop, stop.
Stop! Stop! No!
No.
Stella! Call someone!
- Okay! - Stop, stop, no!
Ronnie, no.
Hello?
Ronnie, look at me.
My friend got shot!
