Their argument is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Scatter who reveals that the real head of the operation is Deputy Commissioner Reardon, who is trying to kill him for quitting. Soon after, the drugs are sold by Priest and Eddie's "family." Priest's white mistress, Cynthia is dismayed to learn that Priest does not return her love and is planning on quitting the business. Eddie is elated by the new situation, claiming that they are set for life, although Priest is still determined to quit after selling the thirty kilos. The lieutenant reveals that he is Scatter's supplier and that they can have as much "weight," as they want, and will be extended both credit and protection. That night, after picking up the kilo from Scatter, Priest and Eddie are apprehended by several policemen. Freddie attempts to escape and is killed when he runs in front of a car. The next day, Freddie is picked up for fighting, and when he is beaten by the police, he reveals when and where Priest and Eddie are to pick up the first kilo of cocaine from Scatter. Priest and Eddie are joined by Freddie, who turns over the money he stole. Priest defuses the situation and persuades Scatter to help them, although Scatter warns that it will be the last time. Eddie threatens Scatter, demanding that he reveal his source if he will not supply them, but Scatter holds him at gunpoint. Scatter initially refuses to help Priest.
Eddie argues that crime is the only option left to them by "The Man." That night, Eddie and Priest approach Scatter, a retired dealer who started Priest in the business. With such a big score, they can retire comfortably. Priest discusses his plan to buy thirty kilos of high-quality cocaine with the $300,000 he and his partner Eddie have, which they can sell for $1,000,000 within four months. Although the timid Freddie abhors violence, he agrees and accompanies another member of Priest's "family" of lower-level dealers to commit the robbery. One day, Priest confronts Fat Freddie, one of his dealers, about money that Freddie owes and threatens to force Freddie's wife into prostitution unless he robs a competitor.

The CastSUPER FLY TNT, directed by Ron O'Neal screen play by Alex Haley, from a story by Sig Shore and Mr. Sharing that patience requires real indulgence. O'Neal, who often looks bored to death, takes most of the picture. This is the excellent performance of Roscoe Lee Browne-strong, dignified and piercing-as an impassioned African revolutionary. O'Neal is yanked off a plane and sadistically beaten in a room that could be anywhere.One thing stands out like a small, personal lighthouse. Priest finally lets himself be persuaded to fly off to Africa on a gun-running mission for a small, oppressed country, and the picture ends just when it should be starting.The Africa of the climax is a feeble, low-budget simulation, with some brief, standard, travelogue footage, as Mr. Occasionally, the couple ride past Roman landmarks. It opened yesterday, with Ron O'Neal repeating the protagonist role and also directing.Most of the time Priest, the reformed, cocaine pusher from Harlem simply slouches around Rome, as a tired, cynical expatriate, trailed by the loving Sheila Frazier, from the first film. Long on talk and short on action, this juiceless bundle comes close to being super dull.
