- The grand opening of the new Duncan Motors headquarters.
[audience applauds]
[camera shutters clicking]
- I represent Alejandro Zuniga.
- [L.C.] 'scuse me?
- Young man, the Duncan family's not interested
in doing any business with Alejandro Zuniga.
[speaking foreign language]
- Somebody out there is buying a lot of influence
to push you out.
- You so much as look at her the way you looked
at her today, I'll pull your lungs out
through your nostrils.
- L.C., what's going on?
- We're at war, Chippy. We're at goddamn war.
- [Paris] What the hell?
- Don't even think about it!
- Do you know who the f-- I am?
- I know exactly who you are, Paris!
Get dressed!

[water splashing]
[panting]
- Who's there?
Come out the shadows.
You wanna á*áá*áá*áá* play games?
- Miguel.
The games have just begun.
[chuckles]
- [sighs] You know I can't find my cuff links.
- I don't think you need 'em baby.
- Yeah, I think you're right.
- I did want to ask you if we could
go to dinner tonight though.
- I wish I could babe.
But I tell you what, why don't we see if your mother
can watch Mariah one night this week, and we can
go to a show and dinner, and maybe we could stay in a hotel
in the city.
- Promise?
- I promise. Just you and me.
- Harris. Is this?
- What?
- Is this lipstick on your handkerchief, Harris?
- Honey, I mean, how do I know?
- Because it's not mine.
- Well it ain't mine either.
Okay? So I don't even need to hear this right now.
- You know what Harris?
- I can't believe you're starting this.
It could have been when I hugged somebody?
- Who is she?
- What do you mean is it?
Don't start right now.
- I wanna know who it
Harris, don't walk away from me, I'm--
- London, listen to me baby.
I don't have time for this right now, okay?
I don't have time for it.
- I said, Harris.
Do not walk away from me.
- Do not grab me like that again.
- Or what?
Or what, what are you gonna do, beat me?
Like you always do?
- Is that what you want?
- I am sick of you Harris.
Disrespecting me and this family.
- I need you to calm down, okay? Calm down!
- Mommy?
- [London] Yes?
- Are you okay?
- I am.
- Yeah, mama okay.
What's your problem son? Huh?
See this is what I'm ta--
- It's almost 8:00 Uncle Harris.
You don't wanna be late for work, do you?
- That's what I'm talkin' about right here.
All of y'all.
All y'all disrespect me, the whole damn family.
- Harris.
[grunting]
- It's okay, papi.
- á*áá*á you.
- [Junior] No, you're á*áá*áá*á.
- Do you know who you're á*áá*áing with?
- Miguel, Miguel, Miguel.
Do you have any idea the predicament you have put me in?
- I'm sorry.
It wasn't me.
I realize I á*áá*áed up, but it wasn't me,
she came onto me.
No,
no,
no!
- And when she got there, your á*áá*á just accidentally
slipped into her mouth, right?
Is that what happened?
Do you remember what I told you I'd do to you
if you touched my daughter?
- You said you'd kill me.
- Yes. I did say that, didn't I?
- I'm sorry.
- However,
what I can't get my head around
is I pay Alejandro all this goddamn money,
to fit my Roadster with dope,
ship it all the way across country,
just so it could disappear.
Without a trace, vanished. Gone.
You think you can help me with this?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Junior.
[grunting]
- You must not know who the hell I am.
I can have your á*áá* strung up for this.
Get your greasy hands off me.
Listen, don't get it twisted.
I don't need no babysitter.
I ain't no dumb á*áá*áá*.
I'm a á*áá*áá*áá*áá*áing Duncan.
That's right.
You better go, you á*áá*áing lackey.
Mom.
Mommy, mommy I didn't do anything!
Mom!
- Harris.
- How are you, Vinny?
Wow.
So this is how Sal's living, huh?
- Absolutely.
- Damn.
I think I need a new accountant.
I'd like to get me one like this some day.
For my family.
- Product of a lifetime, you know.
Guy like you.
You could cut that in half.
- Look I know you didn't call me over here all this time
just to chitchat.
What's on your mind?
- You.
I want you.
You work for me now.
- I don't know, Sal.
This job comes with a hell of a lot of perks.
- Oh, no, no, no,
I can't offer you the boss' daughter to á*áá*á, but,
I got advice.
L.C.
This guy's trouble. No secret.
- But L.C.'s also like a cat.
Not only does he have nine lives, but he always lands
on his feet.
- And the guy he's á*áá*áing with cuts off people's feet.
- Mm-hmm. What's your offer?
- Well, what do you need?
What do you want, you want a casino?
You want a G4?
I'm not trying to turn you into a gangster.
Oh, I know. You are a gangster.
You're a good lawyer, you know.
A good lawyer take a guy for more in one day
than a guy with a gun could in his whole life.
That's the guy I need you to be for me.
- I mean it sounds good, but I just,
I gotta give it some though, you know.
After all I am á*áá*áing the boss' daughter.
- Yeah.
Well you do that.
Just don't take too long.
Don't make me feel like those chumps in the NFL
waiting for the old football wazoos.
Give him a decision.
[camera shutter clicking]
- I want my goddamn money.
- I can't do that Lavernius.
- Well you're gonna do something.
Give me my money or arrange for another shipment.
Either way, Alejandro, you are gonna make me whole.
- When we met to position the transport,
our transaction was complete.
- I'm looking around everywhere, and I'm not seeing
any product.
- That's not my problem.
- Do you honestly think you can steal from me
and get away with it?
I'm starting to think you forgot how I handled
the Miami situation.
- Be careful, my friend.
That's not the approach you want to take with me
and my associates.
Remember who you're dealing with.
- I suggest you do the same.
- That's why we're still having this conversation.
My men, Miguel and Hector.
Is that the reason they haven't checked in?
- Your man Miguel is tied up at the moment,
he's helping us figure this all out.
Hector, I don't know no Hector.
- No doubt Miguel can spare a moment
to join our conversation?
- No can do, my friend. He's busy.
Collaborating with my team.
[chuckling]
- That's very diligent of him.
Let me make some inquiries, maybe I can be of help
after all.
- Good. I see you're starting to figure out
the seriousness of the situation.
Yes, we're on the same page.
Let's have a meeting tomorrow.
Maybe we can figure a way out of this.
- I hope so.
I'm sure Miguel is eager to get back to the west coast.
[chuckling]
Can you believe this?
- Oh boy.
Mommy's little helper today.
Thank you.
Okay.
Alright.
Jump on in there.
Put those over there for Mommy.
Alright, you good?
[sighs]
Here we go again.
Harris, where are you?
Every time I call you, you are MIA.
This á*áá*á is getting ridiculous.
- I can fix that tire for you.
- I'm good, thank you.
- No, no, I can help you,
for just a little change, you know what I'm saying?
- I don't need any help, thank you.
- For real. I could help! Just a little change!
- I don't have any change.
- Come on now, listen, I need a couple dollars.
- I said I'm good.
- Hey, come on!
- I said I'm good, get off of me!
- You ain't, come on!
What's wrong with you?
Why you hit me?
- Hey, hey, hey!
Get out of here man!
- Hey man! Hey!
- [London] Hey! Hey! It's okay!
- Get out of here, man.
- [London] It's okay!
- Why you hit me like that, man?
You crazy?
What's wrong with you?
- It's okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
- Just glad I was passing by.
- Yeah, and I'm just glad my daughter's safe.
Thank you.
- The question is, what are you doing here?
- Well, I've got a flat tire, so now I'm getting ready
to call AAA.
Well AAA takes forever. I'll get it.
What?
Hey. Are you kidding me?
Are you á*áá*áing kidding me?
A flat tire, London?
A flat tire is not an emergency.
See you don't respect what I do right there.
Do you know how important this business meeting is I'm in?
Huh?
Hey, hey, hey, I don't have time for that á*áá*á.
Can I ask you something, L.C.?
- You wanna know why I gave the top spot to Orlando
and not you.
- I'm just saying, with Vegas calling on me,
you could have given us both a shot.
- I have my reasons.
- You're all set to go, pretty lady.
- Thank you. Very much.
I really want you to ...
- No. I can't accept that.
But you can buy me a drink sometime.
I'm Tony, by the way.
- Hi, Tony. I'm London.
So how would one go about--
- Give me your phone.
[chuckles]
- Thank you.
Great.
See you soon.
- Where are we?
- Little place I keep for some of my more discrete business.
- I thought I knew all your holdings.
- You know what I want you to know.
Nobody knows everything about me.
Not even my wife.
Gentlemen.
- Mr. Duncan.
- Kennedy.
- Had to do a little reconstructive surgery.
Brooklyn style.
- Good.
- Hey, Pop.
- How's our guest?
- Scared.
Kennedy and the boys gave him one hell of an á*áá* whooping.
- And he's still not talking?
- No.
- Hmm.
[exhales]
- [Junior] We pinged his phone,
we found him in a ditch near the expressway.
- Okay, counselor.
They stole my dope, killed my nephew.
What would you do if you were me?
- I say we hit these á*áá*áá*áá*áá*áers hard.
Let 'em know we mean business.
- I agree.
- á*áá*áá*áá* right.
- Junior, give us a minute.
Speak English?
- Yeah.
- Good.
Because I'm only gonna ask you this once.
Where is my truck?
- I don't know.
- Put this worthless piece of á*áá*á out of his misery.
- I don't know.
- á*áá*á, what, me?
Oh hell no, I can't do this LC.
- Shoot him.
- L.C., I'm not a killer.
- He stole our dope, his people killed my nephew,
he's the reason for all of our troubles.
Shoot that son of a á*áá*áá*.
Go, kill him.
- I can't do it, LC.
I'm a officer of the court.
- Be quiet.
- You see your cousin out there?
- Yeah.
- This man had something to do with it.
Handle it.
[gunshot sounds]
- I put a 200K bounty on the truck.
- Good.
That's the reason you weren't chosen to run
the family business.
You can't ask a man to kill someone
if you're not willing to do it yourself.
[crickets chirping]
- Hey.
I'm sorry.
- [London] Are you?
- With every fiber of my being.
- Show me.
[camera shutters clicking]
- Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you. Bye bye.
Hi welcome to Duncan Motors, how can I help you?
- I'm here to see Lavernius Duncan.
- Is he expecting you?
- Tell him Alejandro Zuniga is here.
I'm sure he'll be happy to see me.
- Sure, just a second.
- Yes, L.C.?
I have Alejandro Zuniga.
Okay.
He'll be with you in just a second.
- [Alejandro] Thank you.
- Hello?
Hi, this is London.
And I know we talked about me buying you a drink,
but I'd like to know if you'd let me buy you lunch.
- Good to see you again, Alejandro.
- As I you.
- I wasn't expecting you.
- We did say we would talk this morning.
- That we did.
Let's chat in my office.
Your men can wait here.
- I trust these men with my life.
- Unfortunately, I don't trust them with mine.
One of them can come.
Lou.
- I am here for one reason. One reason only.
And that is to retrieve my son.
- Your son?
I wasn't aware you had a son.
- I didn't want you to know I had a son.
Now if you would kindly produce Miguel,
we'll be on our way.
- As I explained to you before, Miguel is not going anywhere
until you refund my money, or replace my product.
- As I explained to you, I know nothing
about your lost product.
- My nephew was killed, my product stolen.
Not to mention my precious Roadster.
- It's not about a car.
This is about my son.
He means as much to me as your children mean to you.
- Then your next move should be easy.
- We've known each other for a long time.
So I will grant you this one time refund.
But I need assurances.
- You have 24 hours to transfer the money.
Proof of life one hour before the transfer.
Alejandro.
You're doing the right thing.
And I assure you Miguel will be returned home safely to you.
- I will take your word.
- L.C. put a bounty on the truck?
- Yes.
- When?
- I don't know, Sal.
- Who in the west coast?
- Alejandro.
He killed my nephew.
It's gonna be a á*áá*áá*áá* war.
You know L.C., you know Lou, you know Orlando.
It's not gonna stop.
It's not gonna stop!
- Ain't gonna be no war.
You take cover.
- To tell you the truth, I waited a little bit
because I thought you were gonna knock
that homeless guy out.
[chuckling]
- I probably could've.
I probably could've.
But I have never been happier to see someone show up
on my behalf.
- I wish I could tell you something, but Orlando says
he's got--
[phone ringing]
Orlando.
This better be important.
- Well I certainly hope you consider
your daughter important.
- I don't know what you think you're doing,
but my daughter--
- Is sitting less than 20 feet away from me.
If I wanted to, I could end her life quickly.
That beautiful diamond necklace she's wearing,
That M stands for your granddaughter Mariah,
am I correct?
She attends a school in Great Neck.
My men tell me its a lovely school.
- Alejandro. [exhales sharply]
if you lay one hand on my daughter or granddaughter.
- [Alejandro] It's so powerful how we feel
about our children, isn't it?
- Your life won't be worth a nickel
if you touch either of them.
- My life is worth nothing without my son.
It's not my nature to bring our wives and children
into the ugliness of our business.
So I'm hoping we can find a compromise.
- What do you want?
- I want my son.
I want you to bring me back Miguel.
- You know I can't do that.
Not without my product.
- We are still at an impasse.
Until we find your product, I suggest we make a deal
or even trade.
You already have Miguel.
I want to hold one of your sons.
- And if I say no?
- I will snatch your daughter,
or perhaps your precious grandson,
and I will start shooting your family members.
- Son of a bitch, I'll kill you for this!
- Perhaps.
Or perhaps we can work as one.
Maybe we can find your product and your car together.
You know me Lavernius
you know the type of man that I am.
Despite our differences, I've always been a man of my word.
- Okay.
I'll let you hold one of my sons.
- [Alejandro] I thought you'd see it my way.
You have until tomorrow to bring one of your sons
to the Tetoboro Airport.
I'll see you then.
- What the á*áá*á is this?
We don't open until 10:00.
- I'm not a customer, son.
I'm the owner.
- Oh.
I'm sorry, Mr. Duncan.
Come right in.
- My. [chuckles]
- What are you doing here?
- You know, you really turned this place into something.
I mean between this one and the one in Miami
you were right.
You know your business.
- Thanks Pop.
So what's going on?
You're not just a drop-by type of dad.
At least not with me.
- We both know that I've had a hard time
dealing with your lifestyle choices.
But you're my son.
And I love you.
- I just want you to respect me the way you respect
my brothers.
- I need you to do something.
- Sure, anything.
- Once you find out what it is you might not feel that way.
- Since you never ask me for anything, it must be important.
- The family's in trouble, son.
And right now,
you're the only one who can save us.
- What do you need me to do, Pop?
[sighs]
Dad what's going on?
Whatever you need, I got you.
- Okay.
- Are you into ducks?
- Sal.
- The doctor says it keeps my blood pressure down.
It's good for you, wanna try it?
- I got a lot of á*áá*á going on right now, Sal.
I don't have time to be feeding the ducks.
You wanna talk, so let's talk.
- Come on, indulge me.
Feed the ducks.
- What's going on, Sal? Why the urgent need to meet?
- I need delivery.
Got guys on the street.
You owe me 20 keys.
I got no product.
I've been needing it.
- I can't give you an honest answer on that, Sal.
I can offer you a refund on your money, though.
- Rather have the dope.
- So would I.
Can't seem to catch a break as of late.
- They're all done.
- And how exactly did you come upon this information
if I may ask?
- I got approached by a guy on the street,
offered me 200 keys.
Grade A dope.
Fire sale prices.
- So why didn't you scoop it up if it was such a great deal?
- I'm not gonna dignify that.
I worked with you for 25 years.
If anything I'm loyal.
- And you didn't think to give me a call?
- I didn't say I was a snitch.
I said I'm loyal.
[chuckling]
- You didn't hit my shipment,
did you Sal?
- Do you know what I want for you?
I want you to get back what's yours
so I get back what's mine.
You'd be committing suicide
if you ever decide to rip me off, you know that right?
So my stealing from you is tantamount
to a á*áá*áing death wish.
So we're in the same church here.
It's what I said, you know, if I had product
my guys don't piss.
- So why exactly am I here?
- You put half a million dollar bounty on a hijacked truck
correct?
- Mm-hmm. [affirmative]
- Proposition.
I point you in the right direction,
you get back with your round
and I'm taking that bounty as a finder's fee.
You cool with that?
- Wouldn't that be snitching?
- Technically.
But you put the money on the street.
You get business.
- Give me an address.
- You didn't get it from me or my people.
- You have my word.
By the way,
you have duck á*áá*á on your shoes.
[phone ringing]
- Hello?
Hey, what's up?
Alright.
I'm on my way.
Thanks for the heads up.
No, no, no.
You don't have to leave. I want you to stay.
Okay?
I want you to take this,
go shopping, buy anything that you want or you need.
I don't know what time I'm gonna be able to get back,
but it sure would be nice if you were here when I do.
- Okay.
I'll try to get back as soon as I can.
- Okay.
[excited giggling]
- Excuse me Ms. Grant
with everything going on, I've been instructed
to drive you today.
- Oh, no James.
I'm fine. It's--
- Listen, London.
I've been told by your husband and your father.
Please.
Come with me.
- You, okay.
You know what?
- Be strong.
- Never forget.
You're a Duncan.
That means something.
- I know, Pop.
[phone ringing]
- Yeah.
- Hi, Daddy.
I'm not a child, it's not necessary for you to treat me
like I'm some
random--
- But your my child.
I'll decide what's necessary for your safety.
Go with James, he'll drive you.
Go wherever you want to go, go anywhere.
But James will drive you.
You understand?
- Yes. I understand.
- You know, L.C., growing up without a father
for the last eight years,
all I've ever wanted to be was one of your sons.
But today,
not so much.
- Your father has the advantage here in New York.
That's about to change.
- We good with everything?
- Yes.
- That's good.
- I'll keep you posted about everything.
- Alright, thank you.
- Orlando.
- How you doing?
- What's up, Nephew?
- What's up, Unc, where's everybody at?
What's going on?
- You tell your old man I told you this
so help me Nephew.
- Come on, man. Stop with the jokes.
It's me, Unc.
I swear.
I won't say anything.
Now, what's going on?
- So is there anything particular that you were
looking for today?
- Maybe something more dark?
- Okay.
- James,
does my family want you to help me pick out lingerie, too?
- No, ma'am.
- Okay.
Then I have it.
- Okay.
- [London] Lisa?
- Yes?
- Hi, I need help.
- [Lisa] No problem.
How can I help you?
- Okay, you see this guy that I walked in with?
- Okay.
- He's getting on my nerves.
Can you please occupy his time?
- Okay.
- And here's a little something for your trouble.
- Oh well,
in that case, I got you.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
Hi.
- Hey.
- I see you are looking at some of my robes.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Do you like what you see?
- Yeah, this is a good one here.
I think you'll look good in that.
- Actually I think so, too.
You are so cute.
[giggles]
- I try doing a little something.
- So where are you from actually?
- From the Bronx.
- Nice, nice.
- And you?
- I'm from Boston.
- Okay, Boston in the house.
I see you, Boston.
Let's see how that look on you though.
[laughs]
- I didn't know what to think when I got your message.
- I know, they put a security detail on me
after what happened last week.
- Smart.
I wouldn't want anything to happen to you either.
- Thank you.
Let's get out of here, please.
- Everything alright with my son?
- I see you've been training.
Yeah man, Nevada's good.
He's got straight A's on his report card.
- Okay.
Then why the hell are you here?
I told you I don't want visitors.
- I know, but you told me when something doesn't feel right
it's not.
And you taught me never to go against my nature.
- And I meant that.
- And well, Pop is out of control.
He's doing things that he would never allow me or you to do.
- How long you been a Duncan?
It's his company, Orlando.
It'll take time for him to let go.
- Letting go of a company is one thing,
sending our brother to the wolves is another.
- What are you talking about?
- He sent Rio to California as collateral
for us holding Alejandro's son, Miguel.
- You're right.
He has lost his á*áá*áing mind.
Does Mom know?
- I don't think so.
The only reason I know is because Uncle Lou told me.
- You know what?
Bro?
You're the head of the family.
Now you do whatever you got to do
to bring my brother back.
You understand me?
- But they want Miguel back.
It has to be a trade, and Pop ain't gonna go for that.
- I don't give a--
I don't care what Pop wants.
You do whatever you gotta do to bring my brother home.
- I get that.
But what about Pops?
- Pop's gonna have his own problems
once I talk to Mom.
[rifle being cocked]
- [Paris] Put that á*áá*á down.
- Paris, what the hell you doing here?
- I'm here to see the prisoner.
- I got him tied to the bed in the back.
- Oh you do?
- He was knocked out the last time I checked.
Dino said don't let nobody but the family in, so.
- Well I'm here.
- Okay.
Listen, if you wanna go in there, I gotta go with you
to have your back.
- Oh no baby, I got this.
When have I ever needed somebody to have my back?
- Yeah, you got a point.
- I do.
I'll see you when I get out.
- Alright.
- You look really bad, baby.
[panting]
- Paris.
Get me out of here.
- You look really bad.
- Please, Paris. Untie me.
[breathing heavily]
á*áá*á.
- Baby listen.
Listen.
I need to know.
Did you have anything to do with my dad's missing transport?
- No.
No.
- No?
- I've been trying to tell that to your father.
Get me out of here, baby, please.
- Miguel.
Miguel.
- No, it's not fair.
Oh á*áá*á.
- Shh.
- á*áá*á that feels good.
That feels good.
- Does it?
- Yeah.
It's not fair.
I'll do whatever you want.
- Listen. Life isn't fair.
And right now,
I have you at my mercy.
And I want
what I want.
- Whoa.
[moaning]
[gasping passionately]
- Wow.
You know I completely forgot how good sex can be.
[laughing]
What?
- You believe in love at first sight?
- No, no.
I never really thought about it.
- I think I fell in love with you.
The first moment I saw you.
- Show me.
Show me.
[moans]
- Hey, excuse me?
Can we get a picture with your car?
- You want to take a picture with my car?
- Yeah, it's nice.
[chuckles]
- Okay.
After you take your picture, make sure nobody
messes with it.
- Alright.
- Alright?
- Thank you.
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
- Hey, I'm getting ready to go into a meeting.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, look.
My business in LA should only last two days max.
Why don't you stay at the condo while I'm away?
When I get back, we could fly out to London.
[giggling]
- That was good.
I gotta pee.
[chuckling]
- Sup, K?
- What's up?
- Go get Miguel.
Me, you, and him are getting ready to go on a little trip.
- Alright.
Paris in there right now.
- Paris?
- Yeah.
- Round two when you're finished.
- Okay.
