Well, I hate to break it to you,
12
00:00:18,736 --> 00:00:20,803

to somebody. And me?
13

I answer to the man who may have

14
00:00:24,508 --> 00:00:26,775
I need something to give
to my bosses.

This is about self-preservation.
17

So, unless you want to go back
to not having my protection,
18
00:00:33,884 --> 00:00:36,585

to serve up.

'sup?
178
00:08:32,404 --> 00:08:34,304
I'll call you
on an outside line.
179
00:08:34,406 --> 00:08:35,906
Yeah, five minutes.
180
00:08:36,008 --> 00:08:37,541
(hangs up phone)
181
00:08:39,945 --> 00:08:41,078
franklin:
Uh...
182
00:08:41,180 --> 00:08:43,547
Projects got raided.
183
00:08:49,221 --> 00:08:51,088
What?
184
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:52,589
(sighs)
185
00:08:52,691 --> 00:08:55,792
let's go, then,
make sure everyone's all right.
186
00:08:56,895 --> 00:08:58,462
Yeah?
187
00:08:59,932 --> 00:09:01,632
Peaches:
Trying to. Damn.
188
00:09:01,734 --> 00:09:03,667
Dallas:
Come on.
189
00:09:03,769 --> 00:09:05,168
-(domino clatters)
-shit.
190
00:09:05,271 --> 00:09:07,838
-(laughter)
-he got nothing.
I'm going. Boom.
191
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:09,640
(door bangs open)
192
00:09:11,043 --> 00:09:13,110
♪ you will see
how lady luck somehow ♪
193
00:09:13,212 --> 00:09:14,778
♪ forgot to shine on me ♪
194
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,613
♪ but when the day was over,
all I could say... ♪
195
00:09:16,715 --> 00:09:18,815
dallas:
You playing or not?
196
00:09:18,917 --> 00:09:20,350
Nigga still gonna lose, though.
197
00:09:20,452 --> 00:09:22,152
-(laughter)
-fuck out of here.
198
00:09:22,254 --> 00:09:24,688
It was attack dogs like down
in birmingham back in the day.
199
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:26,890
Only thing missing
was the fucking fire hoses.
200
00:09:26,992 --> 00:09:28,458
-What happened?
-They hit us hard.
201
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:30,961
Busting heads, grabbing
corner boys and shit.
202
00:09:31,063 --> 00:09:32,296
It was that
motherfucking buckley.
203
00:09:32,398 --> 00:09:33,830
Franklin:
Buckley? How the fuck
that happen?
204
00:09:33,932 --> 00:09:35,565
Y'all got him
in your pocket, right?
205
00:09:35,668 --> 00:09:37,367
If the cops already had
the projects on their radar,
206
00:09:37,469 --> 00:09:39,169
he was probably doing
damage control.
207
00:09:39,271 --> 00:09:41,471
He didn't touch
leon or jerome...
208
00:09:41,573 --> 00:09:43,507
Touched einstein right into
the goddamn hospital,
209
00:09:43,609 --> 00:09:44,908
and he ain't the only one.
210
00:09:45,010 --> 00:09:46,176
Motherfucker came
right for us, lou.
211
00:09:46,278 --> 00:09:48,345
He need to be dealt with.
212
00:09:53,652 --> 00:09:56,687
Louie:
Okay. I hear you.
213
00:09:56,789 --> 00:09:59,022
Uh, he is my guy.
I will find out what happened.
214
00:09:59,124 --> 00:10:01,391
Franklin:
All right. What you need?
215
00:10:01,493 --> 00:10:03,327
Leon:
Me? I don't need nothing.
I don't need a damn thing.
216
00:10:03,429 --> 00:10:04,528
It's them cops
that's gonna be in need.
217
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:05,862
-Lee...
-They got to understand,
218
00:10:05,964 --> 00:10:07,831
if they come at us, we gonna
come right back at them.
219
00:10:07,933 --> 00:10:09,232
What you saying?
220
00:10:09,335 --> 00:10:10,701
Sherman's March to the sea.
221
00:10:10,803 --> 00:10:12,669
Who?
222
00:10:12,771 --> 00:10:14,471
William tecumseh sherman,
destroyed
223
00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:15,706
everything in his
motherfucking path.
224
00:10:15,808 --> 00:10:17,307
Louie:
We are drug dealers, leon.
225
00:10:17,409 --> 00:10:19,976
Cops is gonna come at us from
time to time. That's the game.
226
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:21,545
Siccing goddamn dogs on us
like we animals?
227
00:10:21,647 --> 00:10:22,679
Ain't no fucking game, louie.
228
00:10:22,781 --> 00:10:23,980
Lee, look, just calm down,
all right?
229
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:25,682
We gonna get through this shit.
230
00:10:25,784 --> 00:10:27,317
They've always wanted to wipe us
out-- white folk, police--
231
00:10:27,419 --> 00:10:28,752
ever since the emancipation,
232
00:10:28,854 --> 00:10:30,520
so I'm-a go back and get
my people armed and ready,
233
00:10:30,622 --> 00:10:31,922
'cause if they want
a fucking war,
234
00:10:32,024 --> 00:10:34,858
-I'm not gonna let them just...
-Franklin: Leon.
235
00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:40,931
-(cissy laughs)
-mama?
236
00:10:42,568 --> 00:10:44,368
-Mama.
-Oh, my baby.
237
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:47,371
-(cissy laughing)
-franklin: How are you?
238
00:10:49,007 --> 00:10:50,140
(cissy sniffles)
239
00:10:50,242 --> 00:10:52,376
cissy:
Oh, my god.
240
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:56,246
Hey, sweetie.
241
00:10:56,348 --> 00:10:57,981
Oh, jerome.
242
00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:59,649
Should've told us
you was coming.
243
00:11:01,553 --> 00:11:03,787
(cissy laughs)
244
00:11:03,889 --> 00:11:05,589
veronique:
Wow.
245
00:11:06,558 --> 00:11:09,025
Mrs. Saint.
246
00:11:09,128 --> 00:11:10,794
Veronique.
247
00:11:10,896 --> 00:11:13,897
I came as soon as I heard.
248
00:11:13,999 --> 00:11:15,332
You heard what?
249
00:11:17,002 --> 00:11:19,736
You haven't told them?
250
00:11:22,474 --> 00:11:23,640
I'm pregnant.
251
00:11:23,742 --> 00:11:25,909
(chuckles)
252
00:11:26,011 --> 00:11:27,944
-what?
-(laughter)
253
00:11:28,046 --> 00:11:29,079
jerome:
What?
254
00:11:29,181 --> 00:11:31,148
Yeah.
255
00:11:31,250 --> 00:11:33,150
-We gonna have a baby.
-Jerome: Hey.
256
00:11:33,252 --> 00:11:35,352
-Jerome: Congratulations.
-Veronique: Thank you.
257
00:11:35,454 --> 00:11:37,020
Gonna name him jerome.
258
00:11:37,122 --> 00:11:39,156
(laughter)
259
00:11:47,474 --> 00:11:49,507
(train horn blaring)
260
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:09,193
uh-oh.
261
00:12:09,295 --> 00:12:10,962
She don't look happy.
262
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:14,732
All right, let's have it.
263
00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:16,501
You don't think I got
a right to be pissed off?
264
00:12:16,603 --> 00:12:18,336
Think you should be glad
it wasn't worse.
265
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:21,639
Worse than siccing dogs
on your own people?
266
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:24,342
Since when the fuck
are they my people?
267
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:26,377
They the same motherfuckers
268
00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:28,312
been calling me redbone
my entire life.
269
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:30,415
All right, siccing them
on my people, then.
270
00:12:30,517 --> 00:12:33,217
What you think this is?
271
00:12:33,319 --> 00:12:35,086
What, you throw
a little cocaine my way,
272
00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:37,121
sit a girl in my lap,
bat your eyes,
273
00:12:37,223 --> 00:12:39,057
and I'm supposed to do
whatever the fuck you want?
274
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,092
I told you I was gonna
find somebody.
275
00:12:41,194 --> 00:12:42,894
And I bet I won't have to
ask twice next time.
276
00:12:42,996 --> 00:12:44,128
Now, are we done?
277
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:47,031
Hmm. I need to know that
there is trust here.
278
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:49,300
-(rustling nearby)
-that you not gonna just fuck me
279
00:12:49,402 --> 00:12:51,436
any time you feel like it.
280
00:12:51,538 --> 00:12:53,738
You do what I ask,
281
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,373
you'll be fine.
282
00:12:57,977 --> 00:12:59,744
Have a good night, lou.
283
00:12:59,846 --> 00:13:01,979
(car door opens)
284
00:13:09,022 --> 00:13:10,655
(car engine shuts off)
285
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:13,691
sorry, buddy.
286
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:16,227
They told me they fixed
the traffic while I was gone,
287
00:13:16,329 --> 00:13:17,729
but...
288
00:13:17,831 --> 00:13:19,030
Franklin:
Look,
289
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,699
projects got hit yesterday.
290
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:23,601
Leon and his folks.
291
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:26,304
(sighs):
Okay.
292
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:27,972
They've gotten worse, man,
293
00:13:28,074 --> 00:13:30,308
since you've been gone. Lapd.
294
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:31,809
Even in the last few months.
295
00:13:31,911 --> 00:13:34,112
And the crackdown on my people's
been pretty fucking brutal.
296
00:13:34,214 --> 00:13:35,980
Yeah, I mean,
297
00:13:36,082 --> 00:13:38,416
you're moving literal tons
of rock cocaine.
298
00:13:38,518 --> 00:13:39,817
What'd you expect?
299
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:41,352
Considering I'm moving
those tons of cocaine
300
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:43,488
on behalf of what I thought
was a grateful fucking nation,
301
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:45,089
I'm expecting
a little help, please.
302
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,492
Okay, so you asked me here
to help get the
303
00:13:47,594 --> 00:13:50,161
los angeles police department
to go easy on your people?
304
00:13:50,263 --> 00:13:52,663
Well, you had contacts
at the lapd before, right?
305
00:13:52,766 --> 00:13:54,298
Well, I don't anymore.
306
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,267
Why? Why not? What happened?
307
00:13:56,369 --> 00:13:57,969
Are you kidding me? Why not?
308
00:13:58,071 --> 00:14:00,738
Your fucking father
went to the press.
309
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:03,107
Remember?
310
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:05,343
So now my people are more wary
than ever about exposure.
311
00:14:05,445 --> 00:14:06,944
That's why they sent
a goddamn contractor
312
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:08,980
-in here after I left.
-Okay.
313
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:15,019
This is bullshit.
314
00:14:15,121 --> 00:14:17,288
They're not coming
after you, right? These cops?
315
00:14:17,390 --> 00:14:18,656
Just your people on the street?
316
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:20,758
Yeah, but...
317
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:23,594
So, my advice,
don't worry about it.
318
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:27,598
'cause, yeah,
crash is a scary name.
319
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,634
Sure, at the end of the day,
320
00:14:29,736 --> 00:14:32,103
these cops pose no threat
to you at all. You know why?
321
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:34,338
'cause in
the grand scheme of things,
322
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,308
nobody fucking cares
what happens in south central.
323
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:39,710
Yeah, if it was
a white neighborhood,
324
00:14:39,813 --> 00:14:41,245
you could be worried.
325
00:14:41,347 --> 00:14:44,482
They'd send the fucking
national guard in here, right?
326
00:14:44,584 --> 00:14:47,151
Just...
327
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:49,654
Keep yourself insular.
328
00:14:49,756 --> 00:14:52,557
Only deal with your family.
329
00:14:52,659 --> 00:14:54,158
They can never touch you.
330
00:15:02,302 --> 00:15:03,601
Avoid the 110 on your way out.
331
00:15:03,703 --> 00:15:05,269
Yeah.
332
00:15:05,371 --> 00:15:08,172
'cause it's a fucking
parking lot.
333
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:10,007
(car door closes)
334
00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:12,009
(car engine starts)
335
00:15:12,111 --> 00:15:15,079
-(knock on door)
-announcer (on radio):
Swing and a miss. Strike one.
336
00:15:15,181 --> 00:15:19,884
.318 batter, 39 homers
and 139 rbis...
337
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:23,654
Avi:
Mr. Simmons.
338
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,723
(chuckles)
339
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,027
welcome to chinatown.
340
00:15:30,129 --> 00:15:33,531
Funny place to start following
america's pastime.
341
00:15:33,633 --> 00:15:35,166
You like baseball?
342
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:37,902
America's got a lot of pastimes
I ain't too fond of.
343
00:15:39,239 --> 00:15:41,305
Okay.
344
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:44,075
Look, I need some
specialty items.
345
00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:46,611
Some rocket launchers,
armor-piercing rounds,
346
00:15:46,713 --> 00:15:48,112
anything to fuck some shit up.
347
00:15:48,214 --> 00:15:51,482
Might I inquire as to why
348
00:15:51,584 --> 00:15:54,886
you're in need of such
lethal devices?
349
00:15:54,988 --> 00:15:57,555
The other boys in blue.
350
00:15:57,657 --> 00:16:00,024
You plan to declare war
on the police?
351
00:16:03,563 --> 00:16:06,731
On oppression, on tyranny.
352
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:09,200
But I didn't think I had to come
and explain that to you.
353
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:11,469
It's true.
354
00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:14,906
I've witnessed a few uprising
in my lifetime,
355
00:16:15,008 --> 00:16:17,074
some more successful
than others.
356
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:20,411
So you'll believe me when I'll
tell you that the conditions
357
00:16:20,513 --> 00:16:23,781
do not exist--
in or out of the projects--
358
00:16:23,883 --> 00:16:25,750
to successfully lead
359
00:16:25,852 --> 00:16:29,086
that proletarian insurgency
that you're dreaming about.
360
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:30,955
Hmm. Well, I guess that depends
361
00:16:31,057 --> 00:16:32,857
on how you define
success, right?
362
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:36,627
(chuckling):
Seem... Seems like surviving
363
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:38,496
would be a good idea.
364
00:16:38,598 --> 00:16:41,165
If I get at least one
of them pigs before they get me,
365
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:42,633
I figure that's a win.
366
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:45,703
And what hell do you think
will visit upon your people
367
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:47,004
if you killed one of theirs?
368
00:16:47,106 --> 00:16:48,472
I mean, it can't be any worse
369
00:16:48,574 --> 00:16:49,707
than what they're doing
right now.
370
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:51,275
Oh, really?
371
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:55,012
Much worse, boychik.
372
00:16:55,114 --> 00:16:57,682
Look, I got money, you got guns.
373
00:16:57,784 --> 00:16:59,317
Now, you gonna
give me this shit,
374
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:01,252
or do I have to go
somewhere else?
375
00:17:02,555 --> 00:17:04,155
Just give me a few days.
376
00:17:04,257 --> 00:17:06,157
As you said,
377
00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:08,559
these are specialty items.
378
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,494
Call me when you got 'em.
379
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:12,196
Sure thing.
380
00:17:12,298 --> 00:17:14,665
(door opens)
381
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:17,868
mr. Owens in 4a,
382
00:17:17,971 --> 00:17:20,171
he said he wouldn't pay
until his toilet got fixed.
383
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,340
I thought he was just talking
shit, told him to show me,
384
00:17:22,442 --> 00:17:23,774
but he wasn't lying.
385
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:25,376
So I went down
to the hardware store,
386
00:17:25,478 --> 00:17:27,745
bought a $8 snake,
fixed it myself.
387
00:17:28,781 --> 00:17:31,115
Thing is,
I used some of the rent money
388
00:17:31,217 --> 00:17:33,451
I already collected
to buy the snake.

Has somebody said something
about marriage? Can we, please?
534
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:05,209
You know, we discussed it,
but she just moved in and...
535
00:24:05,311 --> 00:24:08,712
You know, we got this baby
to think about, so...

about cuba that surprised me...
629
00:29:40,621 --> 00:29:43,622

no matter their color or class,
can read and write.
632
00:29:48,195 --> 00:29:51,764
Go to decent schools,
get good medical care.
633
00:29:53,067 --> 00:29:56,201
They really do care
about their people.

-I mean, it all can't be good.
-Yeah, well, yeah.

we trying to do.
641
00:30:15,823 --> 00:30:17,256
Right.
642
00:30:17,358 --> 00:30:21,393
But there are other ways
to wage revolution.
643
00:30:21,495 --> 00:30:23,662
When we were with the panthers,
644
00:30:23,764 --> 00:30:26,231
lot of times, we made changes
without firing a shot.
645
00:30:26,333 --> 00:30:28,400
Well, maybe you should have.
646
00:30:28,502 --> 00:30:30,169
Maybe.
647
00:30:30,271 --> 00:30:33,772
But then violence becomes
the story, not justice.
648
00:30:33,874 --> 00:30:38,043
And you end up dead or in jail.
649
00:30:38,145 --> 00:30:40,145
And the worst part of it,
that's exactly
650
00:30:40,247 --> 00:30:42,381
what they want to happen.
651
00:30:43,684 --> 00:30:47,853
Not only do you lose,
but they win.
652
00:30:49,824 --> 00:30:51,523
So what you do, then?
653
00:30:54,328 --> 00:30:56,361
There are other ways to fight.

00:33:08,896 --> 00:33:10,929
You downplayed teddy.
701
00:33:13,634 --> 00:33:15,767
How dangerous is the man
that killed your father
702
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:17,903
and just showed up
a few days ago?
703
00:33:19,873 --> 00:33:22,007
My father went after him
and lost.
704
00:33:24,345 --> 00:33:29,247
Wasn't sure what happened to him
till I saw my mother.
705
00:33:29,350 --> 00:33:31,083
Teddy's different.
706
00:33:31,185 --> 00:33:33,285
Maybe paranoid.
707
00:33:33,387 --> 00:33:35,554
All business.
708
00:33:35,656 --> 00:33:40,092
As long as I keep
the money flowing, I'm safe.
709
00:33:40,194 --> 00:33:43,495
We're safe. For now.
710
00:33:43,597 --> 00:33:47,265
And that's the truth. All right?
711
00:33:47,368 --> 00:33:49,835
This a two-way street?
712
00:33:55,776 --> 00:33:57,743
How do you feel
after hearing from her?
713
00:33:57,845 --> 00:34:00,379
-Your mom?
-Mm-hmm.
714
00:34:01,615 --> 00:34:05,517
-That you are the mama's boy
I thought you were from jump.
-(chuckles)
715
00:34:05,619 --> 00:34:07,552
can't do no wrong in her eyes.
716
00:34:07,654 --> 00:34:09,221
Uh...
717
00:34:09,323 --> 00:34:12,057
And she seemed
kind of cool to me.
718
00:34:13,861 --> 00:34:15,594
Maybe I'm imagining it.
719
00:34:17,698 --> 00:34:20,732
And please don't shut her down
if she has something to say
720
00:34:20,834 --> 00:34:23,735
just 'cause you don't
want to hear it.
721
00:34:23,837 --> 00:34:26,104
Okay?
722
00:34:26,206 --> 00:34:27,639
Mm-hmm.
723
00:34:29,710 --> 00:34:32,611
When you asked me to move in,
I asked if it was safe.
724
00:34:32,713 --> 00:34:34,780
You said yes.
725
00:34:34,882 --> 00:34:36,815
But I was looking around
at your books, you know,
726
00:34:36,917 --> 00:34:39,384
I was being nosy,
and I found that.
727
00:34:45,125 --> 00:34:47,759
I bought this place
because of the security.
728
00:34:47,861 --> 00:34:49,861
And the location.
729
00:34:50,831 --> 00:34:53,298
This is just extra.
730
00:34:54,401 --> 00:34:56,902
I can get rid of it
if you don't want it around.
731
00:34:58,672 --> 00:35:00,305
(gun clicking)
732
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:06,411
I don't care about the gun.
733
00:35:06,513 --> 00:35:09,281
I told you
what I wanted from you.
734
00:35:09,383 --> 00:35:12,350
Maybe this place is safe,
but nowhere else is.
735
00:35:12,453 --> 00:35:15,987
And some strippers and a weirdly
quiet vet, they don't cut it.
736
00:35:16,090 --> 00:35:17,856
You need more.
737
00:35:17,958 --> 00:35:19,958
-We need more.
-I agree.
738
00:35:20,060 --> 00:35:22,127
I'll get on it tomorrow,
first thing.
739
00:35:23,630 --> 00:35:26,531
Where did you learn
how to do that?
740
00:35:26,633 --> 00:35:28,400
Told you how I grew up.
741
00:35:28,502 --> 00:35:30,469
You think my mom
pulled all that bullshit
742
00:35:30,571 --> 00:35:33,205
and didn't teach me how
to come save her if I needed to?
743
00:35:33,307 --> 00:35:36,174
Save her? What about you?
744
00:35:40,447 --> 00:35:42,481
(grunts softly)
come here.
745
00:35:48,956 --> 00:35:51,723
Think she'll ever come back?
746
00:35:51,825 --> 00:35:56,194
Walk into the office, say
she wants to be in our lives?
747
00:35:58,265 --> 00:36:01,399
If she does,
we're moving to africa.
748
00:36:01,502 --> 00:36:04,870
-(chuckles)
-same day, and not looking back.
749
00:36:04,972 --> 00:36:06,538
'cause once she's in...
750
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,907
(exhales)
...She's fucking in.
751
00:36:09,009 --> 00:36:11,042

Excuse me,

but have we met before?
760
00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:47,712
I'm not sure.
761
00:36:47,814 --> 00:36:50,882
I just returned
from mexico city.
762
00:36:50,984 --> 00:36:52,117
Ah.
763
00:36:52,219 --> 00:36:56,188
I have good friends there
as well.
764
00:36:56,290 --> 00:36:57,522
Thanks.
765
00:37:00,127 --> 00:37:03,228
It's so nice
to finally meet you.
766
00:37:03,330 --> 00:37:06,298
Ana told me so much.
767
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,201
My name is ruben. Ruben.
768
00:37:09,303 --> 00:37:11,736
I'm cissy.
It's nice to meet you, too.
769
00:37:11,838 --> 00:37:14,072
Nice to meet you, cissy.
770
00:37:14,174 --> 00:37:16,841
So, how was your trip?
771
00:37:20,847 --> 00:37:25,750
Cissy, I want you to know,
772
00:37:25,852 --> 00:37:29,354
I think it's an incredibly
brave thing you're doing.
773
00:37:29,456 --> 00:37:32,824
And I'm sorry for all
that you've been through.
774
00:37:32,926 --> 00:37:35,293
You know, it must have been
a very difficult time.
775
00:37:41,902 --> 00:37:43,835
So, how does all this work?
776
00:37:43,937 --> 00:37:45,804
Well, now that
we established contact,
777
00:37:45,906 --> 00:37:47,639
we'll set up regular meetings.
778
00:37:47,741 --> 00:37:50,508
Sometimes here,
sometimes elsewhere.
779
00:37:50,611 --> 00:37:52,344
As long as neither of us
are under surveillance,
780
00:37:52,446 --> 00:37:53,945
we can meet out in the open...
781
00:37:54,047 --> 00:37:57,349
No, what-what,
what I actually meant...
782
00:37:57,451 --> 00:38:00,085
I've made contact
with my family.
783
00:38:00,187 --> 00:38:03,288
My son has confirmed
that he's back,
784
00:38:03,390 --> 00:38:04,923
just like ana said he would.
785
00:38:05,025 --> 00:38:07,158
Teddy mcdonald.
786
00:38:08,195 --> 00:38:11,229
So what do you need from me
to do what you got to do?
787
00:38:14,234 --> 00:38:17,269
I know what you want, cissy.
788
00:38:17,371 --> 00:38:20,038
And I share your indignation
over what the cia has done
789
00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:22,674
to you and your family.
790
00:38:22,776 --> 00:38:26,945
Let me be clear:
I want answers first.
791
00:38:27,948 --> 00:38:30,482
What exactly happened to alton.
792
00:38:30,584 --> 00:38:33,318
And I want to make sure
my family is safe.
793
00:38:34,688 --> 00:38:37,889
And then you can kill
teddy mcdonald.
