:22:00
My baby never sold nothing to nobody.
Never took nothing from nobody.

:22:05
She's a straight kid.
She's going to college.

:22:10
Whoever grabbed her, got her to get at me.
:22:14
They have a beef with me,
they should come to me.

:22:18
So you got a rule
that somebody else don't.

:22:26
Is that all you know?
:22:28
There's a piece of Harlem I can't get at.
The one them militants got their arm on.

:22:33
They could have my baby.
She's been into some of that stuff.

:22:37
Bunch calls themselves the "La Mumba's."
:22:40
Ben Buford's thing.
:22:43
I could send my people to ask them.
:22:46
Shit.
:22:48
It'd come to a shootout and when
it's all over, a bunch of dead cats.

:22:54
And maybe they'd kill Marcy.
:22:58
Yeah, you're Papa pimp to them.
:23:01
They want to see you burn
as bad as they want to see the police burn.

:23:05
But kidnapping sisters,
that ain't their thing.

:23:08
The only reason anybody grabs
anybody for is money.

:23:11
What other bunch in Harlem needs money
bad enough to grab my baby?

:23:15
If you believe that, what's all this
about me having a foot in whitey's trough?

:23:19
I said I think they had her.
I didn't say they had her in Harlem.

:23:22
They ain't dumb enough
to take her someplace uptown.

:23:26
It don't lay right.
:23:27
What the hell you think I need you for
if I knew who had her?

:23:33
I'm guessing.
:23:35
If they don't have her, all right.
:23:38
Maybe they know something.
:23:40
I got nothing.
:23:43
That's the job, Shaft.
:23:47
Will you take it, or no?
:23:52
I get $50 an hour.
:23:55
Plus expenses.
:23:58
And no questions asked
about how I spend it.
