How can I help you?
Give me a double shot

[apprehensive music plays]
[grunts]
Well, this might
have some blowback.
Any of that gonna fall on you?
[Gloria] Not a drop.
[Rojas] We let 'em get
real comfortable outside.
Then we make
the motherfuckin' call.
[person] We'll get 'em, Rojas.
- [Jenard] Big bro!
- Baby bro.
[Jenard] Oh, my God, look
at this free man right here.
This is where Chicago Brothers
Incorporated came from.
We were the last to hold out,
thanks to you.
Which is why I'm so confused
to why you're dealing
with the yardies.
Come on, bro,
why we back on this bullshit?
[person] A'ight, this crazy
white boy
came through with Vic Flynn,
and straight Bin Ladened
- the whole shit, bro.
- [gunshots]
Who the fuck are you?
I'm the motherfucker that
just saved both of your lives.
He's fucking dead.
Getting caught up
in some low-rent shit
while the feds
are sniffing around
is not a good look for us.
- I get that.
- [Claudia] Do you?
Because making shit deals
is not the way to move forward.
Vic's not cut out
for this kind of work, Da.
What Victor does
is not women's work.
Victor runs the streets.
You keep us legit
and you look after me.
[Claudia]
I've had enough of men
telling me what to do
for one lifetime.
You know who I am?
Do you have more?
Look, I got a plan.
It's about you and me.
Just tell me I'm not too late.
I can't tell you that, Vic.
I can't.
Walter Flynn.
You have made quite the impact
on my family and my city.
But your time here in Chicago
has come to an end.
You gotta get the fuck
outta my city, son.
I don't work
for nobody no more.
Think I'm gonna stay here,
build my own shit.
I'm my own boss now.
