BENJI RE-CAP 10.22.24 – BENJI – LEADER OF HADES

• **“YA BOI BACK” **- Benji wakes up at his apartment (B1108) and runs down the stairs.
• INCOMING CALL – Lance. Lance tells Benji that “we getting raided” causing Benji to choke. He’s chuckling while saying it and Benji/Lysium wonders how someone can wake him up like that. He tells Lance to pick him up from the apartment… and then proceeds to run down the street towards Hades’ Vespucci HQ.
• Benji runs into Louis driving down the street. Louis tells Benji that Marlo is getting raided because the boys had a shootout after a Fent run… and two guys (Ray and TicTac --- and Aleks on a previous occasion) had Marlo’s medical supplies on them when arrested. The guys cleared Marlo’s and Ray’s houses just in case there was additional police action.
**Benji: “NO WAY that it wasn’t me that got him in trouble! Benji this. Benji that. Benji is careless.” **
Louis also tells Benji that Jay Hobbs threw his hands up when things got heated. Benji says that Jay has PTSD and there’s no surprise that he folded.
• **OUTGOING CALL: Lance. **Benji asks Lance where he’s at because they just got to Ray’s cleaning house. Lance is busy moving stuff up to Paletto.
• Benji sees someone walking on Fudge Lane and… name checks Z, former Company, former Black Lotus, former “NO NAME” gang, now SOB.
Benji: “I see you go through four gangs on this block!”
• **INCOMING CALL: Rico. **Ray got sentenced and is in prison. Benji is worried that Rico sounds depressed… and then asks if it’s another shitty Rico performance.
• Benji and Louis pull into The Abyss parking lot and see a bunch of peeps, including Aleks and Gene. Gene tells Benji that The Project guys just finished an ammo crate where the Manor tried to counter… badly.
• OUTGOING CALL: Jon Joyce. He wants to harass him a bit because of the shambolic counter.
• INCOMING CALL: TicTac. TicTac tells Benji that the Fent run was crazy, and he was ready to shoot… but Ray didn’t make the call.

PRISON VISIT W/RAY
Crew: Benji, TicTac, Louis, Aleks, Rico, Lance, Kit

• Benji, Louis, Rico, and Aleks run into visitation to find Kit speaking with Ray through the glass.
**Ray: “Rico, get the fuck outta here. I swear to God.” **
Ray tells Benji that Rico is doing the dumb shit they’ve spoken about earlier.
**Ray: “He has the audacity to say, ‘Are you good, Ray?’ I promise you he was GSR negative.” **
Benji asks Aleks if he left Ray too… and Aleks says no, he told Rico that he should have shot.
Louis tells Ray that Jay suffered from severe PTSD and held up his hands. Ray says that he explained multiple times to Jay that there would be shooting… and he had a load-out.
**Ray: “BTW – I want Jay dead. Find him and put a knife in his gut.” **
Aleks says that he picked him up off the ground… and then left him at the hospital! Ray explains that Louis was picking him up and he warned him about spikes… which Louis drove straight over! Results of this Fent run: 2 people arrested (Ray and TicTac), 2 people shot down (Aleks and Louis), and 2 people who ran away (Rico and Jay). << If you wanna check out this cluster of a Fent run, you can watch Ray__c (Ray), slimeoz (TicTac), BiboSkills (Louis), Breakyx (Aleks – not 100% sure he was streaming), arro2k (Rico – probably not streaming… but maybe). >>
• Benji tells Ray that they must do the Fent runs together because Lemon Squads are not working.
• Benji tells Ray that Marlo’s house got raided because of splints and tourniquets… and TicTac says that he still has the medical supplies on him, the cops did not confiscate them!

• Benji tells Ray that Marlo’s house got raided because of splints and tourniquets… and TicTac says that he still has the medical supplies on him, the cops did not confiscate them!
• Ray tells him that he’s not sure what to do about Rico because he’s not learning. Benji says that the problem is they are doing these important jobs with people who should be on the bench… and not their best squads. Ray says that he OG orders all Hades people to find Jay and stab him. Benji said that he’ll find him and have a chat… but he’s going to use a small knife because “he’s Filipino”.
• Marlo walks in and asks why people are using his supplies for things other than the cargo ship. Benji points out that it wasn’t him who got Marlo in trouble.
Marlo: “You made me lose my job the first time! You tell them every time that I prescribed you oxy!”
Benji pretends to call 9-1-1 to report on Marlo’s whereabouts.
• Ray tells Benji that there was a cargo ship. He immediately called Marlo and once the captain heard Marlo was on his way… they left!
Benji: “They remembered your name from GSF! They thought Dexx was coming too and they said, ‘Bail out! I ain’t gonna listen to this guy yap.’”
• << Hades Games V.2 is postponed to Wednesday, dependent on Marlo’s “head” issues. >>
• Benji says that they should do another run right now… but the guys tell him that the Fent was lost to the water.
• Ray wants to chat with Rico about this issue and Benji reminds him that he’s ex-Marbunta (“they act hard but are all pussies”) and is still learning.
• Benji: “GSR positive boys with me!”

BACK TO HQ - DEBRIEF

• **INCOMING CALL: Louis. **Louis tells him that the normal gun stash at HQ, the bottom contains Ray’s stuff from his houses.
• Benji asks Rico what’s wrong with him. Rico sounds really sad… and Benji tells him that he needs to harden him up. Rico agrees and tells Benji that he did two of the hacks.
**Benji: “Let’s talk about how to be gangster again. Rico, your aura is dogshit. You show up and they say ‘Eh. He’s not gonna do shit.’” **
• They drop off the money from one Fent drop ($100k).
• Benji asks Rico to explain his side of the story. Rico says that he drove and got pitted into a wall. Ray decided to get out and shoot, so Rico jumped out… but they ran two different ways. Because they were in Forum, Rico thought it would be best to jump on a roof top because cops don’t know how to get up there. Benji clarifies that Ray wanted to shoot immediately, but Rico wanted to get position. Ray didn’t start shooting until he was starting to get on a roof, so he had to decide if he runs back and gets shot… or climb a roof. Benji asks if Rico understands why Ray is upset. Rico thinks it has to do with his delay in shooting. Benji emphasizes that isn’t Ray’s issue… it’s that he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his life for Ray. Rico responds that he would 100% have done it if Ray was still up, but he was already down. Reggie joins the group and is told that Rico left Ray to die during a Fent run. Reggie tells Rico to get on his knees and pulls his gun. Lance stops him because they’re standing right in front of HQ… and both Ray and Benji praise him for thinking straight and learning.
Benji: “Lance-tenant!”
• Marlo walks up and tells them that they need to rob the hospital again because he anticipates that he’ll be fired again. Lance and Benji counter-argue that if the cops found no medical supplies in his house, he shouldn’t get in trouble. Marlo asks where Ray and TicTac (and Aleks on a previous occasion) would’ve gotten the supplies from because he didn’t report them stolen and they all have the same gang tax. Kit tries to put her lawyer hat on… but Marlo isn’t really buying it. Lance tries to back Kit trying to formulate a defense involving Bobby Charles and incompetence.

**Kit: “Just say you got robbed and reported it to a cadet.” **
**Marlo: “I got robbed by the Bondi Boys and they sold it.” **
Benji: “Dundee would agree to that 100%”
Marlo calls Dundee to ask if he’ll admit to robbing him of medical supplies, but Dundee is afraid that it’ll get him raided.
•** INCOMING CALL: Z. CARGO HORNS TOWARDS THE AIRPORT!!!**

CARGO EVENT
Crew: Benji, TicTac, Lance, Reggie, Marlo, Rico

• **OUTGOING CALL: Dundee. **Benji tells Dundee that there’s a cargo ship and he wants him to join the Hades 6.
Dundee: “Cargo ship! I’m shooting you on the boat.” *<< Dundee hangs up on Benji >>*
**Benji: “I got an enemy instead, goddammit!” **
Benji calls Dundee back and is informed that BBMC will be sending a squad to the cargo ship as well.
Benji: “We’ll kill your ass, bitch!”
Dundee: “I won’t rob you!”
• Benji starts dolling out armor, guns, and mags… because he’s the only one around with access to the stashes. << This is the problem with the lockdown on guns, bullets, and armor. Insert mass chaos because Benji does not have the patience to babysit people and make sure that they’re geared up. >>
• Lance marks the spot of the boat, and the boys are off to the pier! Lance calls out that the Manor is already there but TicTac radios that he’s already got a boat. Z pulls up with a boat and Benji apologizes for not being able to take him.
Benji: “Join Hades, man!”
Zee: “Say the word, bro.”
Benji: “I’ll say the word in two days… or tomorrow.”
• Benji, Lance, Marlo, and Reggie take off to try and find the boat. Marlo reports that earlier, there was a cargo ship up in Paletto. Benji keeps driving way too far out and south… near the end of the world.
**Lance: “We’re all going to die. We’re going way too far south.” **
Reggie: “Who let bro drive? At this point, I’m just praying for the kraken.”
•** INCOMING CALL: Dundee. **
Dundee: “Did you say crate or cargo ship?”
**Benji: “I don’t know, man. I think I got jabaited.” **
Dundee tells him that he went straight to the airport to get a plane, but they can’t find it. Benji tells him that he’ll call if they find the boat.
• TicTac calls and tells them that the cargo ship is north by the Hookies bridge. **NOTE: **Benji is about to pass out with no food. Someone is already moving a cargo container, so Rico is instructed to follow the helicopter. Benji tells Rico to track the crate and TicTac needs to get back to the boat cuz they need to fight. Reggie points out that if the crew doesn’t return the helicopter to the ship, they’re in trouble.
• As they pull up to the ship, they see another non-Hades boat. As they circle the cargo ship, they see that it’s BBMC onboard fighting guards… and holding down the ladder. Benji decides to fight whoever is on the boat – SHOTS FIRED. *<< Insert a lot of wasted ammo here. >> *
• OUTGOING CALL: Dundee. Benji is irritated because he is the one that notified Dundee, and they took the cargo ship from them. He does not answer.
• The heli returns and grabs another crate. The boat follows the helicopter with the crate but loses sight.
• **INCOMING CALL: Dundee. **
**Benji: “I want to bring you to a ship, and you bring your crew instead. You’re dead to me, Dundee.” **
Dundee: “I’m willing to talk about the second crate that I’m currently carrying right now.”
Dundee is willing to split the second crate with Hades because Benji notified them. Benji tells Dundee to drop the crate where they are right now and sends a ping. Dundee wants Hades to open the crate, he’s going to take some, and then will let Hades have the rest. Benji tells him to drop the crate and go grab another container from the cargo ship… and Dundee is shocked there’s more crates to grab!
• Benji instructs the guys to open the crate NOW! He wants to get the goods out of it and then to rush the Billabong immediately.

• Rico successfully opens the crate… and its car parts! << LOL >> Hades grabs all the car parts and then races to the Billy.
• **OUTGOING CALL: Dundee. **
Benji: “You give me a car crate?!?! You insult me!”
• **INCOMING CALL: Vic (BBMC Prospect). **He’s calling on behalf of Dundee asking for spare thermite. Benji asks where he would like it and is told that he’ll come grab it. Benji tells the guys that BBMC doesn’t have thermite… and he wants to rush the Billy with the Hades thermite. He tells TicTac that the goal is to take the stuff without violence… but if they have to, they will shoot whoever they need to.

INTO THE BILLABONG… AND ONTO THE ISLAND
Crew: Benji, TicTac, Lance, Reggie, Marlo, Rico

• Both Hades boats pull up to the Vespucci beach, dropping engine heads and car parts along the beach to lighten up their loads as they run towards the Billy.
•** INCOMING CALL: Dundee. **He wants to know what was in the crate that Hades opened. Benji tells him that it was “dumb fuck car parts” and reiterates that he’s insulted. Benji tells Dundee AGAIN that there are more crates on the ship but is told that the helicopter is in the ocean, and they only saw two red crates. Dundee asks if Hades has thermite for sale and Benji says that they do… for 50% of the loot. Dundee is shocked because he just gave Hades one of the crates. Benji tells him that he will give half of this “dogshit” crate in exchange. Dundee tells him that he is going to find thermite from someone else then… and asks if Benji would have handled this situation the same way and given BBMC one of the crates.
**Benji” Motherfucker, I wanted to bring you on the goddamn job! You flipped on me in one second! I’ll see you later, man.” **
• Lance, Rico, TicTac, and Benji start snaking cars out of the BBMC garage to search for the already dropped crate.
• INCOMING CALL: Vic. He’s in the city and asking for Benji to give him the promised thermite. Benji plays a bit dumb and says that he thought Hades was going to deliver the thermite, but they never got a ping. Vic says that he sent Benji his ping and was going to come pick it up. Benji says that he’s waiting for his boy to wake up and bring him the thermite… and then he’ll ping. Benji gets off the phone and radios that the guy who is trying to thermite the other crate just called and mentioned that he had to drive into the city… so they need to look on the outskirts for the dropped crate.
• Hades races around the city, looking for the crate while Marlo switches to the BBMC radio (62). Benji depos some goods at Fudge 4 and is told that two cars are tracking Hades. He presses one of the cars and finds out that it is the Manor… including Jon. Marlo tells Benji that the BBMC radio is breaking up so that means they’re far. Hades heads north and on the other side of the island, maybe on an island or Humane Labs.
• **BENJI SPOTS THE BRIGHT RED CRATE! **It’s on an island ((good call, Marlo)) to the East of the Quarry. Benji pings TicTac and starts swimming out to the crate. Marlo and Benji sweep the island and find nobody present. Benji starts to get really irritated because the guys with the thermite (Rico and TicTac) are talking… but not getting their asses to the island so they can steal the crate! TicTac says that they’re swimming to the crate right now.
**Benji: “Somebody stay on the main island. We pick up this shit and bounce! Watch the fucking mountains and not the crate!” **
• Two cars pull up on the mountain and Hades prepares to fight. Rico opens the crate… and it’s CAR PARTS AGAIN!
• Rico, TicTac, Louis and Reggie report that BBMC is pushing. Benji says that he’s going to call BBMC because there’s no reason to shoot over stupid car parts.
• **OUTGOING CALL: Dundee. **
**Dundee: “We’re in a shootout… gotta go!” **
• Benji: “They’re trying to shoot us right now. Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em all!”

• SHOTS FIRED! Benji, Rico, Reggie, and Marlo hold the island. TicTac calls out the Manor on the mainland.
Benji: “That’s Jon Joyce! Be careful!”
BENJI OUTGOING TWAT: “JON HOLD FIRE CALL ME”
At least two BBMC down.
**Benji: “Just dominate here.” **
One more down.
**Benji: “Eliminate the Jon Joyce people.” **
Who’s left? Dundee. He pops up on the edge of the island and Benji opens fire… and hits multiple shots.
**Benji: “I’ll finish him off. DUNDEEEEEE…” **Dundee has gone into the water and Benji tells people to keep an eye on him.
Marlo: “Over fucking car parts. This is stupid as shit.”
• Manor makes it to the island… and more shooting. Lance is out of bullets. Benji tells him to swim and jumps in the water!
• Benji, Rico, and Lance make it to the main island. Benji and Lance have most of the loot on them and they want to wait on the main island to fight… but Benji is STARVING! Benji and Rico jump in his car. Benji needs to get food ASAP and then he can head back. Lance robs a downed person and Benji asks if she has food! Lance doesn’t respond… but radios that she has a gun and he’s taking that but is going to bleed out. Rico says that he’s going to stay with Lance while Benji races to get food. Benji depos his gun and the parts in a bush and races for food… popping Oxy while he drives.
INCOMING TEXT: Rico. “Lance is down.”
OUTGOING TEXT: “rob his shit and bounce”
• Benji makes it to the food court and begs people for food. He gets food and drink (thank goodness!).
Benji: “Imagine… I was in the middle of a gun shoot out and I ran out of fucking food.”
• INCOMING CALL: Rico. He reports that Lance is down and asks what Benji wants to do. Benji tells him to go back and smoke the three remaining. Rico says he’s going to stash Lance’s gun and the sport tires and then head back. Benji tells him that he’s going to stop at the hospital and will be back. It takes two visits to Doctor Skip for the bleeding to stop.

**HOSPITAL PITSTOP **
Crew: Benji, Rusty (aka Dusty)

• **Benji: “Fancy seeing you here.” **
**Rusty: “Fuck off.” **

• **OUTGOING CALL: Rico. **No answer.
• Benji races back to the shootout location… but can’t get in touch with Rico.
**BENJI TWAT: “MANOR CALL ME LMAO” **
•** INCOMING CALL: SHLOMI**
Benji: “Where the fuck is Jon, bro?!”
Benji tells Shlomi to have Jon call him.
•** INCOMING CALL: Jon. **Jon tells Benji that he has Reggie and is taking him to the hospital. Benji says that he cannot believe he didn’t call him, so they didn’t have to fight. Jon says that he didn’t know they were fighting Hades because they fought BBMC when they pulled up.
**Benji: “Every dumb thing you do is just going to make your prospect phase harder when you finally join me again. Just remember that. You’re making your life harder, dumbfuck.” **
**Jon: “I wanna say a few things. One - I saved Reggie. I’ve got him in my car and taking him to the hospital. I made sure he took priority because it’s Reggie. I might have took TicTac’s guided lockpick and lost it in the water.” **
Benji tells him that this is embarrassing, and he wanted to tell Jon that it was car parts… but Jon didn’t call.
Benji: “Now have fun with the 1911s that you looted off bodies, you dumbfuck.” << Hangs up while Jon begins to speak. >>
• **INCOMING TEXT: Jon. **“all this for 4 sports tyres?”
• OUTGOING CALL: Jon. Benji asks if they ocean dumped all his boys. Jon tells Benji that they dropped everyone by the cars except for one guy (Rico) up on the mountain top.
• Benji somersaults around the hills but can’t find any bodies.
• **INCOMING CALL: Reggie. **Reggie tells Benji that he tried to call Jon when they started pushing. Benji tells him that the Manor was more interested in getting guns off bodies than the loot.
Benji: “Reggie, remember, if I didn’t go down… we didn’t lose.”

Benji finds TicTac and yells at him for pushing too much. While driving around, they hear someone moaning… and find Lance! He tells Benji that Rico took his stuff (gun and $25k) and dipped.
Benji: “Rico did you dirty!”
Lance says that Rico probably put it in a bush and Benji “accidently” forgets to mention that he instructed Rico to rob Lance to protect his stuff. Benji repairs his car and puts Lance in the trunk (after a lot of effort!). They cannot find Rico, Reggie and Marlo are at the hospital, so Benji heads back to grab the stuff from his hiding spot and back to the city they go.
• **INCOMING CALL: Dundee. **Dundee just woke up from the hospital and asks Benji if he had anything to do with a cargo ship. Benji tells him that he has no idea what he’s talking about. When asked if he woke up at the hospital, Benji tells him that no, he didn’t and asks what happened to Dundee. Dundee admits that he didn’t wake up at the hospital (Benji laughs and asks if he woke up in the water).
Dundee: “So, what happened?”
Benji: “Unfortunate luck.”
Benji asks if Dundee knows what happened today or if he’s clueless. Dundee again asks him what happened. Benji tells Dundee that he “tried to fuck (him) over” and then Benji retaliated… but then the Manor got the both of them. Dundee doesn’t understand how he tried to “fuck you over” and Benji responds that he gave him car parts. Dundee says that he doesn’t remember anything and woke up in the hospital. Benji tells Dundee that he’s taking two of his boys to the hospital and that he’ll call back to go over from the beginning. *<< Insert a lot of “fuck you over” back and forth here. >>*
• Benji gets TicTac and Lance medical and they head to the Vespucci HQ. Reggie calls to tell him the loot he currently has possession of and while the tires are not worth much (and can be bought at the Tuner Shop), Benji is excited that he can build the Bugatti engine… if he can get the shell from Fifi. As they’re driving, Lance goes down in the car (again!) to hunger. << These guys… >>
•** INCOMING CALL: Dundee. **Dundee requests a meeting with Benji at the Billabong.
• Benji depos at the Vespucci HQ telling Perez to save a set of race tires for both he and Ray.

AFTER THE CRATE ((2:27:25))
Crew: Benji, TicTac, Reggie, Lance, Aleks, Perez

• Benji dresses in his “lucky” fit (blacked out with mask and red bandanna in the back pocket). Benji decides that it would be cool to walk to the Billy. As the crew is running… the run into BBMC’s 6 running their way.
Dundee: “Fancy meeting you here.”
**Benji: “Fancy meeting you. We were about to run to the Billabong.” **
• Benji wants to move to a more cinematic location for the talk and Dundee responds that he’s fine right where they are. Benji disagrees… and so they relocate down the street next to the shops. << Insert comedic relief when a local car absolutely runs over Dundee… and then backs up over Reggie and Perez! Paid actor, for sure! >>
• Hades lines up on one side. Benji in the middle, Lance, and Reggie to his left and right, Perez at his back, TicTac and Aleks on roofs to the sides.
• Dundee asks Benji to explain what happened. Benji asks if any of the BBMC remember what happened and Dundee responds, “some of us do.” Benji says that he called Dundee straight-away when he found out about the cargo ship. He extended an invite to Dundee to be a part of the Hades 6.
Benji: “The first thing you tell me on the fucking phone is ‘I’m going to shoot you on the ship.’”
Benji continues to say that they approached the cargo ship to find BBMC. After they stored the first crate, Benji received a call from Dundee offering the second crate.
**Benji: “We open it at Zankudo and all we see is fucking car parts. It’s like a spit in my fucking face.” **

Benji continues that BBMC called to buy thermite, and he tried to negotiate for more goods… and that fell through, so Hades started looking for the crate. When Benji found the crate and opened it, they found more car parts, and he immediately called Dundee to say that they shouldn’t be shooting over car parts. But Dundee hung up on Benji and then rushed the island… “and got clapped.”
**Benji: “Twice by the way, you wanted it… not me.” **
Dundee stands on that he can’t remember and Benji tells him that is “convenient.” Benji asks what BBMC remembers.
Rusty: “Our intel, as it is, is that we pressed the boat and successfully got it. This was after a tip-off from you guys saying that there was a boat here and you guys were doing possibly a different crate.”
He continues to say that they got two crates off the cargo ship before the helicopter went “away.” Rusty says that Dundee negotiated and gave “you guys” the location for one of the crates and BBMC started towards the other crate. They got into a gun fight in the hills (Manor). When Rusty woke up in the hospital, he saw Benji and Marlo, “(s)o we reckon you guys pressed the crate we had.” Benji responds that the Manor is actually who pressed them, and they got the stuff in the end. Benji admits that Hades was on the island, and he opened the crate.
Dundee: “So, I gave you a crate and you came to take mine?”
Benji: “Yes.”
Dundee asks what happened when he countered Hades at an ammo crate. Benji told him that he lied and said he wasn’t coming and then shot him. Dundee asked what happened afterwards.
Benji: “You took me to hospital, I think. You specifically wanted me to stay there and wake up because you wanted to loot my body. That’s what I remember.”
Dundee brings up that he then returned all the stuff he got from Hades, which was two pistols, mags, ammo, and an armor plate. Benji asks what he’s saying and if he wants something from Hades? Dundee responds that he doesn’t want anything, but when he contested Hades, he apologized and gave the stuff back. Dundee is baffled that Benji is upset the crate he generously gave him wasn’t “good enough” to which Benji responds, “Yes.” Dundee asks if there’s a way to tell what’s in the crates and Benji tells him that he doesn’t know but he assumes there’s a sign telling them what’s in it.* << META WARNING! There’s a manifest located in the wheelhouse of the cargo ship. >>* Rusty pipes up that if that’s the case, BBMC just decided to keep the second car parts crate to pull a “prank” on Benji. Benji starts to speak and both Rusty and Bobby speak over him.
**Bobby: “Yeah, we made sure we took off the placard that read car parts before we delivered it to you.” **
Dundee tries to be the voice of reason and say that it looks like nobody knew what would be in the crates and Benji responds that he believed they did the cargo ship with every intention of shooting **“me and my people.” **
**Benji: “So excuse me for being aggressive in the way we fucking act too, man.” **
Dundee says that it sounds like he tried to settle it.
Benji: “Sounds like you tried to start shit and then decided to back track and settle it, man.”
**Dundee: “I don’t want to start anything.” **He acknowledges the tension between Hades and BBMC… AGAIN. Benji tells him that he and Hades are chill.
Benji: “When I invite you to do something and you decide to go against me on it, why question how I’m going to go about the fucking day? You were invited to be a part of what I’m doing to get shit if we succeed. You decided to go against that, bring your people… and now you’re confused why I’m playing on your kindness, man.”
Benji continues by seeing that he even tried to retract everything when Hades found out how bad the loot was, and Dundee decided to go gung-ho. Benji says that this would’ve been a more heated argument if there were guns in the crate.

Rusty: “Conversation would be a lot different if you weren’t countering the crate that we had…“
Benji: “Shut the fuck up, Dusty!”
Rusty: “Fuck you!”
Benji: “Shut the fuck up!”
Rusty: “You shut the fuck up!”
**Benji: “Shut the fuck up, pussy! Do something about it, pussy.” **
<< This round of back-and-forth repeats a few times. >>
Dundee: “Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Please don’t say that Benji. Don’t say that Benji.”
Benji: “This fucking pussy talking over you. Who the fuck’s talking to him?”
**Rusty: “Fuck you! You’re the fucking pussy. I’m talking over you, bitch.” **
Dundee: “BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! BOTH OF YOU!”
Benji: “Yeah, that’s right. Listen to your boss, pussy.”
Dundee: “I don’t want this, B.”
Benji responds that he doesn’t want it either and Dundee responds that he’s challenging Rusty to “do something.” Benji again calls Rusty a “pussy” and says that he needs to shut up so the Leaders can continue talking. Dundee approaches Benji.
**Dundee: “Benji, I’m begging you to not escalate this further.” **
**Benji: “Alright. For you – sure. Are we done here?” **
Dundee responds that he tells BBMC “time and time again” that Benji and Ray look after him… which they do. But he doesn’t know what happened today and he doesn’t know what happened on that island. He will never know because he doesn’t remember. But Dundee knows that the back-and-forth between Benji and Rusty will never result in a positive relationship between the two groups.
**Dundee: “What I do know is that his name is Rusty. And I already fucking told you what his name was.” **
**Benji: “Listen. OK. When I call you to invite you to do something and give you information, and you decide to go back to the OG Dundee that says whatever the fuck he wants and does whatever the fuck he wants, that’s fine. I accept it. But don’t start getting confused when I play on you too, motherfucker. Cuz, you know I can do just that.” **
Dundee says that he hasn’t even figured out the truth and Benji rebuts that he WON’T figure out the truth because this is a repeated occurrence.
Benji: “I’ve done this dance with you every single fucking time. I’ve done this dance with you when no matter what group I’m in, you’re gonna have a VP and the same fucking people are gonna say ‘Oh Dundee, Benji don’t give a fuck about you. We can take ‘em.’ And then you guys make the mistake of challenging me and my people again… and then the relationship’s gone. It’s always the same fucking shit, man. Which part do you not fucking get? YOU STARTED THIS!”
Dundee responds that he is just trying to figure out what happened! He was going to talk to his people, but he presses again about calling his VP “Dusty” and challenges him to “do something.” Dundee can’t defend that.
Dundee: “Do you see me coming around saying ‘fuck Ray’ or ‘fuck Perez’? NO! I don’t! I may disagree with how they think sometimes, but I don’t come around but I don’t come around saying ‘fuck Raymond Romanov.’”
Benji: “Who from my side talked over me or you?”
Dundee responds that he doesn’t know.
Benji: “That’s right, Dundee. Nobody talks over me, or you because my people have been told to respect you.”
Dundee says that he tells his “friends” to do the same thing, but Benji makes it hard when he yells. Benji replies that Dundee asked him to stop and he did.
**Benji: “Are we done? What else do we need here?” **
**Dundee: “I don’t know, B.” **
Dundee says that Benji’s disrespect of Rusty (by calling him Dusty) makes him angrier than **“anything that could’ve happened at that crate.” **
Benji: “OK. What are you going to do now? Pretend that you’re going to be mad, pull out a gun and shoot me?”
<< CRICKETS --- LIKE, LITERAL CRICKETS ARE CHIRPING, Y’ALL! >>
**Dundee: “You did not just say that.” **
Benji wants to know why he brought up the point to re-argue then. Dundee screams that he’s asking Benji to call him by his “damn name” and Benji screams that he already agreed.

Benji: “Listen! If he’s going to talk shit, I’m going to talk shit. It’s simple! No?!”
Dundee rebuts that Rusty wasn’t talking shit… he got a few words out and then Benji told “Dusty” to shut up.
Benji: “We are done talking about Rusty. What else do you want to do?”
Dundee says that he will never know what happened and what he said. Because he doesn’t know the truth… and it’s going to be different on both sides of the story.
**Dundee: “But I believe you. If I did do that then I’m sorry.” **
Benji: “Why don’t you turn around and ask them if they want the smoke. Maybe that’s what they need to let it all go. You know what I mean? A little fight so they feel better. You know what I’m saying?”
**Dundee: “Why are you bring that up? Nobody here wants the smoke.” **
**Benji: “Are you sure about that?!?!? Sometimes the energy I’m getting from these people is that they got this unnerving hatred towards us, man.” **
**Dundee: “Tensions are there. I’m not going to hide that. I’m not going to lie. Just like how it is with your group.” **
Dundee reiterates that he’s been telling his gang to be good just like Benji… but there is definitely tension. Benji says again that he’s good.
Benji: “I gotta a lot of sports tires. I’m just gonna go racing and shit. Man, I’m chill.” Dundee: “OK. Then we chill.”
• Dundee turns and walks away followed by BBMC. Benji, Perez, and Lance start chuckling.
**Benji: “How did he not pull the gun, bro?!? What the fuck?!?” **
**TicTac: “Go racing and shit is CRAZY!” **
Reggie: “I would like to say that I think all of us had our hands on our fucking waists when you said, ‘do something about it!’”
**Benji: “I’m sorry, guys, that Dundee actually changed. Listen, I ain’t got a problem with these guys. Dundee started some shit again, his memory is fucking fuzzy, and here we go again.” **
• Hades walks back to the Vespucci HQ. TicTac brings up a horn that keeps going off. Lance thinks it’s because BBMC only took two crates and not the third. Benji wants to head back out there… but the helicopter is in the water. They decide to go up and check it out really quickly.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Crew: Benji, TicTac, Reggie, Lance, Aleks, Perez

• The six heads back up north to see if the horns blaring is a new boat. Lance asks if they can even do anything if it’s the old boat. Benji responds that because he technically didn’t go down… he will do the old boat “solo, baby!”
• Benji tells that car that Dundee doesn’t understand and is “confused as shit” when he matches Dundee’s energy. Perez radios that Hades shouldn’t be surprised if BBMC approaches the rest of the West Coast Alliance (WCA) – aka Tripas and the Guerrilaz – and then try and do something about this heated exchange so he wants everyone to be prepared.
**Benji: “You think they want to do something now? They ain’t going to do SHIT! I will wipe the WCA if they decide to even fucking look at us the wrong, man!” **
• Benji, Lance, and TicTac find jet skis and a boat… but no cargo ship. Benji gets thrown from the speed boat… and INCAPACITATED. << Insert funny chatter: “BBMC did it!” LOL >> << LYSIUM RESTARTS BECAUSE OF SCUFF >>
• Benji wakes back up on the beach and they head back to the Vespucci HQ. Benji wants to meet with Perez about a “Nut Recovery System.”
Benji: “Guys, we gotta start nutting.”
• Benji mentions that he wants to go down to the Billy, spit on Rusty and call him Dusty. Aleks says, “You won’t” Benji responds that he already did, and Lance asks who Aleks thinks he’s talking to. Benji tells him to say it on the radio and so Lance starts pressing Aleks a bit. Reggie calls and Benji tells him that they might need to promote Lance to Lieutenant because of his “vibes.”
**Reggie: “Fuck off.” **
Benji says that maybe with responsibility, he’d mature. Reggie is not buying it at all. Benji says that he’s serious.

• Benji pulls Perez to the roof for a discussion with Aleks, Lance, Rico, Reggie, Dragon, Zee, and Kiwi (standing off to the side). Lance brings up that Rico took his gun, money, and four tires off his body up north. Benji asks Rico if he put them in a bush or if the Manor took the stuff… but Rico can’t remember* << FYI: He had to use Local EMS >> *
• **NUT REPORT: **Benji wants a complete “nut report” tomorrow because Hades has not been performing well and things are going missing. Perez says that Hades now has under 15 extended mags. Benji asks why Hades has not done an Ammunation recently and is told that they have been scuffed. Benji responds that the Project did a crate today and there wasn’t any scuff. Benji asks if the Project or High Stakes has any extended mags that they can sell to Hades. Both are a no. Perez tells Benji that he thinks Hades had 150 guns and 30 or so have been lost the last week.
**Benji: “Absolutely moronic! I’ve lost ONE!” **
He then asks who has lost more than one gun this week and points at Rico. Rico tells him that yes, he has lost guns… but he also stole 4 guns from a crate today… so he’s only really lost 1. Benji wants to spend $1m right now on guns and mags. Perez said that he has a call into Benz (Hydra) because they need money after their Police Raid.
**Aleks: “Does Dundee sell that?” **
Rico brings up that Hades also needs to work on Oxy because Louis gave 50 to Hydra for their fight. When Benji gets upset, Reggie asks everyone except Perez to step off the roof so the bosses can talk. He explains that Louis has been spoken to and told him that he has to take action to replace the Oxy when he does something like that… so this is TCO. Benji calls everyone back to the roof and asks why nobody is doing the things that the gang NEEDS – like Oxy and pushing weed. Rico responds that he does Oxy every day and both Aleks and Z say that the push weed daily too.
Benji: “Y’all not doing the shit that needs to be done on the daily. Y’all not helping the gang. Do I need to start doing Oxy, so people stop being lazy and shit?”
Benji then asks the Underbosses if they do Oxy. Perez responds that he packs mags, and Reggie says he “puts the Fent in the bag.”
**Benji: “We need to get back to the basics of working here, OK?” **
**Reggie: “Kiwi, I will pay you $1k for every Oxy you bring us.” **
**Rico: “Do I get that?!?!?!” **
**Benji: “You let people down two or three times today.” **
• Benji, Aleks, Lance, Reggie, and Zee jump in the car and head north to see if they can find what Rico stashed in a bush. Reggie says that when they get back, he needs to speak to Benji alone about weed. Benji is convinced that Reggie is going to tell him that everyone are bums and they haven’t been pushing << which is true >>. He goes on to say that he thinks Hades has too many people in the gang and that’s a problem. It makes it harder to track each member’s productivity. Reggie says that it would be great if someone would actually step up and prove that they deserve the role of Lieutenant. Lance(tenant – as Benji refers to him) says that he can’t count how many bank trucks he’s been a part of. Reggie asks him what exactly that does to help Hades if there is a war and Lance responds that it brings money into the coffers.
Reggie: “Hades’ problem isn’t money right now. Hades’ problem is stock.”
• Aleks tells Zee that he’s now being put on getting Oxy. Zee agrees.
• The car pulls up to where Lance went down and Benji asks him to point out where Rico was “bussin” so they could try and find the stash.
Benji: “So in the mind of the idiot Rico, which bush? Go into the mind of Rico!”
All of the guys start running through bushes.

• INCOMING CALL: Fifi. Fifi tells Benji that she just had an incident with a BBMC blacked out, convoy where Rusty calls her a “motherfucker.” When she responded that she isn’t a motherfucker, Dundee said,** “Not now.” **
**Fifi: “So they’re pissed off and, in a convoy, whatever that means.” **
**Benji: “Let the be pissed off and fist clench while they do a fake-ass convoy. Let them do something. I’ll tell them to do something about it.” **
Fifi says that she doesn’t think it has anything to do with Hades because they didn’t shoot her, and Benji responds that things got really tense an hour ago and if they do anything to Fifi… Hades will respond.
• **INCOMING CALL: Marlo. **He wants to clarify which type of tires they got from the crates – race or sport. Benji says that they are race, or orange. Marlo says that he’ll head up there to help with the search.
• After running around the hillside for a while, Benji found a thermite charge in a bush by the road… but no luck with Lance’s other items.
• Benji and Marlo head back to Fudge 4 to grab the depo’d stuff and then to the Vespucci HQ. Benji asks Marlo to negotiate with Fifi for the engine he wants. Benji and Marlo discuss how to approach Fi to improve Benji’s chances of getting the engine shell from her. While they’re driving by the ADMC block, Marlo tells Benji that BBMC killed cops there a little bit earlier. He asks Benji if he pissed them off. *<< LOL >> *
**Benji: “Fuck the BBMC. What they gonna do, man?” **
Marlo mentions that he wiped BBMC yesterday and woke up wet with Claire. Benji applauds him and says that “somebody’s gotta do it.” He then says that he’s celibate and asks if he likes anyone right now. Marlo asks what happened to Lane and Benji says that “ship” died two months ago because she was sleeping with a doctor.
• When they pull into the parking lot, Benji approaches Fifi who is on the phone with someone arguing about a street race. Benji asks what happened and if this is going to escalate. Fifi says that she doesn’t care and then tells Benji that BBMC are currently shooting cops on the ADMC block. She has no idea but finds it funny that they got pissed at Hades for taking a chase to the Billy… and now they’re doing it to ADMC.
**Benji: “Yeah, I’m gonna call Dundee and say that he shouldn’t be doing it there… on behalf of ADMC.” **
Benji asks Fifi about the W16 engine shell, and she agrees to make it and sell it to Benji. She wants to build it first and then come up with a price because of how the parts are rusting (and because he’s “Benji”), agreeing to no more than $100k.
• Reggie wants Benji’s attention to discuss weed. He wants to “shit can” the weed op because there is over 15k bags going bad… and nobody wants to push. Reggie doesn’t think it’s worth pushing people to do something that they don’t want to do when they’d rather just be having fun. Reggie wants to pull up the beds and maintain the seeds… and then stop being their “clean” person because he’s done it for 11 months.
Benji: “Can you pick up 7 pistons?” << Yep, he’s totally listening! >>
Benji doesn’t see a way to force anyone to do boring jobs, like weed. He wants to ask if anyone is interested in maintaining these projects, like weed, and asks if Reggie would be ok if someone else used his house for it.
**Reggie: “No. They’d have to find somewhere else to do it.” **
Reggie says that the point isn’t growing and having the product ready… it’s that people don’t want to push. Benji says that the problem is that they need to have pushers doing it and not being bums. Benji asks about the deal with the Vagos because he’s worried about Hades losing the influx of money. Reggie tells him that he’s pretty sure Lex hasn’t picked up an order “in weeks.”

Benji wants him to speak to Lex about that before cutting it off completely, but he doesn’t want to stop weed completely because Hades can make money from it. Reggie says that he’ll speak to Mona about the Vagos but he’s ready to start doing crime.
Benji: “Let’s get this shit going and see if you can be a good criminal.”
• Benji, Marlo, Fifi, and Reggie arrive at the Tuner Shop with the engine parts. Aleks must run a couple of Mosley’s jobs to get back to Master Mechanic so he can build the engine.
• **INCOMING TEXT: Rico. **“WE NEED TO GO FOR SMOKE.”
• **OUTGOING CALL: Rico. **Benji asks WTF he’s texting. Rico says that he got some spicy tea. Benji tells him to bring the tea to the Tuner Shop.
• When Aleks gets to the Tuner Shop, he tells Benji that he needs $10k in cash to build the engine. Benji radios that he needs $10k cash and Marlo tells him that he’s rich… so go to the bank.
• **INCOMING CALL: Fenyx. **Benji tells him to never call him again.

<< POWER OUTAGE CUTS STREAM >>

• Benji wakes back up on the side of the road.
• OUTGOING CALL: Aleks. No answer.
• **OUTGOING CALL: Marlo. **Benji asks if everything is ok because he had a “narcolepsy” situation. Marlo updates Benji on the BBMC situation… including the Guerrilaz clapping cops at Strawberry gas… which leads him to believe that WCA is at war with the PD.
Benji: “You wanna know why they going to war with the PD, right? Cuz they can’t go to war with fucking us! That’s what’s up!”
• **OUTGOING CALL: Rico. **Benji tells Rico to meet him between the trains behind the Tuner Shop. He sends him a ping so they can be extra dramatic.
• Rico tells him that there is spice about… Gene! Rico called Gene to tell him that they needed to run Oxy for Hades, but Gene said he was busy. When Rico pulled up to the Oxy spot, he finds Gene running Oxy… with a girl! *<< FYI - It’s Tallie from ADMC. >> *
**Rico: “Lost in the sauce.” **
Rico tells Benji that’s all the spice from that situation… but that a couple days ago there was a situation involving shoe stealing and Hydra. The disagreement led to TicTac being wrenched (by Hydra) and Aleks standing by not reacting. TicTac then called Aleks an “op” and Aleks got really mad for 20 minutes or so. Benji tells Rico that he knows he’s supposed to be a “fly on the wall” but he wants him to “fix shit when you can fix shit.” If he can’t fix it, Benji wants Rico to report back to him ASAP. Rico says that Lance told him Hades’ members are too sensitive, so the jokes need to be cut back on. Benji responds that Lance is “sensitive as shit too!” Rico mentions that TicTac said Louis was sensitive… and he finds that funny because he’s sensitive! << LOL >>
Benji: “We’re all fucking sensitive, man! Have you seen me and fucking Ray?!?! We’re the most sensitive!”
**Rico: “No. You guys are perfect.” **
Benji: “Good. That was a test.”
Benji is happy with his spy’s update and leaves first so nobody sees him with Rico.
• Benji makes it back to the Tuner Shop (finally) and nobody is there.
• OUTGOING CALL: Reggie. He tells him that everything is good to go and asks if there’s anything else they need to talk about. Reggie says that he’s with Perez. They just bought some ammo and gave him the Nut Report. Reggie says that he and Perez will come to pick him up so they can give the full report accurately.
• **NUT REPORT: 68 Glocks, 17 Glockatrons, 41 M1911s, 17 Makeshift, 31 armor, 9 PD armor, 42 Glock 12 round mags, 18 extended mags (including Ray’s). **With 143 guns, Benji declares Hades is “down horrendous” and says that it’s “embarrassing”. Perez says that he’ll call Benz in the next storm and Benji says that he’ll call Dundee. Reggie says that with this number, Hades only has 23 fights with a full wipe before their armory is depleted. Benji says that according to old Seaside calculations, they need to have at least 25 fights worth off full wipe.

**Benji: “We’re actually fucked.” **
**Reggie: “That’s it. We go to war and get more.” **
**Benji: “We only use makeshift now.” **
• **OUTGOING CALL: Dundee. **No answer.
• OUTGOING CALL: Dora. No answer.
• **OUTGOING CALL: Edbert (ADMC). **Benji wants an update on the BBMC situation. Edbert full on laughs and calls him a **“tea goblin.” **
**Benji: “I need to know the updates, man. I ain’t capping here. I gotta know. I gotta make sure everything’s copacetic. I wanna know if we’re going to go to war with BBMC.” **
When Edbert shockingly asks why Hades would go to war with BBMC, Benji responds that they “triggered me today” and he **“called Dusty a pussy.” **
Edbert: “Who the fuck is Dusty?”
**Benji: “Dusty! Their VP, bro!” **
Benji and Edbert go back-and-forth about what to call Rusty… until Benji says he doesn’t know because he’s gonna kill him after he kills his “fucking wife.” Edbert asks which one and Benji says it doesn’t matter cuz he’ll kill them all. Edbert tells them that as one of the ADMC high commands, he’s just deciding if he’s gonna grab his boys and roll out. Benji pretends to be shocked so Edbert will tell him that ADMC does NOT like that BBMC brought the fight to their block. While Benji is talking on the phone, he is also running solo through the streets of Vespucci towards the Billabong.
Benji: “As we know, MCs are very particular about their fucking location. Right! You gotta show them that they can’t just be running around and bringing fights at your block! What is this? It’s ridiculous, isn’t it! When you shoot Dusty you should say, ‘Why don’t you practice what you preach, motherfucker?! Respect my block, bitch!”
**Edbert: “SSSHHHIIITTT… You get the MC lifestyle, Unc.” **
Benji: “Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! I’m at the BBMC block right now. I’m gonna tell you how many of them are here. There’s nobody in the main Billabong, man. There’s about 4 cars in the middle. I think there might be some BBMC at the end. If you go in, go to the bicycle rental.”
Benji tells Edbert that he’ll call him back if he finds anyone else. Benji notices a guy on the phone.
Edbert: “There’s one guy on the phone?! Fuck! Oh shit! He’s probably calling the cops, knowing BBMC.”
Benji runs up to the person on the street and asks if they’re BBMC. The deny it and Benji pushes back saying they are a weed pusher, and they need to watch out “around here.” Edbert thanks Benji and Benji tells him that he’ll keep the updates coming.
Benji: “Hold it down, man! I can’t believe they disrespected your block like that, man. Anybody can just go to your block now? My God. What the fuck?!”
**Edbert: “Benji, don’t even fucking start.” **
Benji and Edbert say goodbye and end the call.
<< Lysium keep talking to chat that if it were him, that would be a bad sign of disrespect and he’d be offended. If it was another gang, he’d be mad… but with it being another MC… WHEW! Edbert viewer POV: Ed thought Benji was stirring and being a tea goblin… even though Benji validated how upset Edbert was with Kelly. But Benji was actually serious that BBMC needs to practice what they preach. BBMC doesn’t like people just rolling up on their block… it’s up to the other gangs and MCs to hold them to the same standard! >>
• Benji runs all the way back to the Vespucci HQ and sees Marlo in the parking lot. Marlo, Reggie, and Perez jump in the car with Benji to “stir a little bit.” The car drives back down to the Billy and finds BBMC by the beach. Wolfie approaches the car and asks, “Who this?” Benji asks what he means, and Marlo says that they’re going to get changed at the Lighthouse. Claire approaches the car and starts to “rob” a “crackhead.” Rusty and another BBMC member (maybe Bobby) stand in the background robbing someone else, but don’t approach the car.

• **OUTGOING CALL: Edbert. **
**Benji: “Bro! Bro! Bro! Bro! Bro! There’s four of them right now! Rusty’s right here, man! Go clap his ass, man!” **
Edbert: “Am I going to get a call later today from you, and you’re going to try and sell me guns?”
Benji: Hell no! This motherfucker! Just hearing him makes me want to kill his ass. He’s lucky Dundee asked me not to!”
Edbert: “What did he say?”
**Benji: “Nothing. I just want him dead.” **
Edbert asks if Dundee is there and Benji says no, that it’s just Rusty and some others. This makes the situation perfect because his best friend doesn’t die but “this fuckhead” gets killed.
Edbert hangs up the phone and Benji tells the car that he doesn’t think ADMC is going to do anything. Marlo thinks that ADMC doesn’t want to do it because with the WCA… ADMC might not want to get involved. ***((ADMC META: That doesn’t factor into their reasoning AT ALL)) ***Perez counters Marlo and says that back in the day, when Benji would call to stir, they wouldn’t do anything because they always knew Benji was up to something and had an ulterior motive. Perez asks Benji who he called, and he replies that he spoke with Edbert. Perez says that Edbert isn’t going to do anything because he’s too level-headed… he needs to call Shang because he's a hot head. ((ADMC META: This isn’t why Edbert doesn’t want to react… he actually wanted to. But another Command Member, Kelly, had accepted Dundee’s apology earlier so ADMC didn’t want to escalate until they could speak to Dundee.))
• **OUTGOING CALL: Shang. **No answer.
