[TERRY] f*ck' federales!

[MEECH] God damn it, Tee!

This what we get for you
letting that f*ck' kid go!

Would you stop blaming
me for f*ck' everything?

Loco's boss wants us
to meet him in Cali.

Remember, n*gga, it's me and
you that started this business.

Loco trusts me more than you do,
and he got my back, unlike you.

Manuel. Meech and Tee.

Loco has spoken very highly of you.

Now, we always rise to the occasion.

Loco can vouch for us.

Unfortunately, Loco is dead.

my baby shower gift from Terry, did you?

Terry said he gave me

My little Demetrius.

[SOBBING] Help me.

[BRYANT] That skinny
m*therf*cker is B-Mickie.

He's a BMF sh**ter from Detroit.

And him being here ain't
no f*ck' coincidence.

[MEECH] Hey, Pops just said

that B-Mick came to
the house in Atlanta.

A'ight, look.

A little while back,
yes, I let B-Mick back in.

Now, tell me why the f*ck
would you do that sh*t.

Yeah, because his daughter
was sick and he needed money.

Besides, he proved his f*cking loyalty

when he capped Lamar
and he ain't have to.

Now, B-Mickie, see, me and him,

we had a deal to ambush Meech and Terry,

but your boy ambushed me.

Listen, I'ma ask you

And we need to find out fast,
because the new plug in Cali

is holding the work until

Cali? What the f*ck happened with Loco?

It don't matter. We got a new plug.

Now, Tina and Foley got new
drivers and stash houses.

We can't move sh*t
till we know it's safe.

Look, I need you to hit B-Mickie

it seems like he trust me.

I can set it up how y'all want.

[HARDY] Nothing at airports,
