For him, it has always been about the money by any means necessary. Albamarle is going through a change personally. Now, he sees his ruthlessness and constant drug war as being destructive to his Brooklyn community and financially costly. This leads him to enter an agreement with his long time, but weaker rival, Billy Fungus. Billy jumps at the opportunity. He agrees to the deal to stop the senseless violence and conduct business like in the corporate world. The better-run business will prosper while the other will dissolve or stand vulnerable to a take over. Billy (the Jamaican gang leader) then decides to use a questionable strategy by seeking the help of a voodoo worker (Clarence) to assist in his drug dealing business venture and to overthrow the stronger Albamarle.
