Power (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Best Laid Plans - full transcript

Previously on "Power"...

When we met,
what'd you think I was gonna be?

The biggest goddamn drug
dealer in New York City.

I don't know any old,
wrinkled drug dealers.

They're either dead or inside.

Since when do you lie to me?
Since when do you hide shit?

Ghost took back his loyalty,

so now it's time
for you to do the same.

I want to change my life for you.

I don't want
to break up your marriage.

You like having me around, huh?

- I do.
- I want your offer.

- $6 million to own it outright.
- Truth is not for sale.

The moment I detect disloyalty,
I cut it out.

You was right about Rolla.

- I'm sorry it turned out like this, G.
- It was Kanan, right?

You were still tight
after all these years.

I am your friend.

Rolla's dead.
You owe me money.

And you owe me bodies.

You make sure my son
ain't there when you do it, neither.

I want Ghost dead
before I get out.

I'm your friend.

I guess we should get to it.

I am your friend.

They say we supposed
to get 10 inches.

Ripped By mstoll

I'm your friend.

Glass was empty.

The coroner found whiskey
in Rolla's stomach.

So whoever killed him
gave him a last drink.

That's classy.

So I hear you turned down
the new border task force in Detroit.

- Guess you'll be sticking around?
- Rolla's murder is a new lead.

Sure, but we have
no money to follow it.

With Lobos
being prosecuted in California,

they've shut us down.

Now Rolla's death
is officially an NYPD case,

just like Anibal.

Might be the same hitter.

I don't think so.
He had a drink.

At the kill shot, he fell right out
of his chair onto the floor.

No defensive wounds,
no sign of struggle.

- You think it was someone he knew.
- And he didn't see it coming.

He trusted the person.

You think it was the distributor?

You think it was Ghost?

You could be right.

But it doesn't matter.

Cali will have Lobos indicted
by the end of the week.

It's time to let it go, cowgirl.

We'll get the next one.

I'm gonna get some water.

Mm, no!

Bed gets cold when you leave.

It always does.

I like it when you're like this.

You kind of scared me
the other night.

Ghost did that thing we talked about,
so I'm all good now.

Who's Ghost?

James.

Ghost is a...

nickname, like...

just between me and him.

Why "Ghost"?

We knew this guy "Breeze"
when we were kids.

He came up with Ghost.

He said the kid
had the ability to disappear.

Never saw him coming,
you never saw him leave.

Those expensive-ass shoes
he wears now changed all that,

clickety fucking clack.

I heard him the other night.

He was here, right?

I didn't know you were awake.

Holly, you shoulda said something.

Tommy, it's okay.

You can trust me.

I told you.

Ghost has Tasha in his corner.

She knows everything, right?

And she's got his back.

Yeah.

Maybe I can be like that.

Someone in your corner,
just for you.

- Jamie.
- Angie, how you doing?

I'll be better when I see you.

Yeah, I wish you were
here with me right now.

You know,

I'm free the night
of your Sutton Place party.

Uh, Tasha's known about it
for weeks now.

I told her she could come.

Yeah, of course.

Look, Angie, baby,
I promise, all right?

I'm gonna change my life.

It's gonna be my club,
my kids, and you.

Could I see you today?

I've got Raina's play.
She's Annie.

Be with your family.

- Angie.
- I got to go.

- Hello.
- Thanks again.

- Hi, Mrs. St. Patrick.
- Thank you so much.

- It was great.
- Mom, Mom!

Congratulations.

- Hey, how are you?
- Great, I appreciate it.

Oh, my goodness.

- How was I?
- You were amazing, baby girl.

- There she is.
- I'm so proud of you.

My superstar.

Oh, Daddy loves you.

You made me cry.

Hey, tell your sister
how good she did.

- You did great, Raina.
- Thanks, Riq.

I have a special surprise
for you, miss.

You can invite four girls to come home
with us and they can sleep over.

- I can?
- Mm-hmm.

- Whoever I want?
- Yes, baby.

You can stay up,
have a good time, watch a movie.

Go ask their moms if it's okay.

- Thank you.
- All right, you're welcome.

Really, Mom?

Tariq, I already
asked Owen's mom

- if it's okay, too, all right?
- You did?

You guys can be in your room
while the girls have the den.

- Thanks, Mom!
- Yes, you're welcome.

Now you better come home
and help me with this shit.

You don't have to go back
to the club right now.

Raina deserves her daddy
on her big day.

- Mr. and Mrs. St. Patrick.
- Hi.

Hello, hi.

Raina was excellent today.

She certainly worked hard enough.

- Yes, she was.
- Thank you.

No, thank you.

Your generous donation
will get that playground finished

in just a couple of months.

We're all very excited about it.
You both should be very proud.

Generous donation?

You see how great she was, right?

Wow, Tasha.

- What is wrong with you?
- What is wrong with me?

I got to get back to work
to make some of that money back.

- That's what's wrong with me.
- Babe.

Raina, tell Daddy good-bye.

See you, baby.
Mm, I'm so proud of you.

Babe.

Needs more rosemary.

And it's flat.

- James.
- Cynthia.

Just checking in
on a few final details.

Of course you are.

Now, that works.

- My clients are gonna love this.
- I know they will.

And I'm hoping
this is just the beginning

for our working relationship.

I've told you before,
and I'll say it again.

Your business
is just the springboard

for the kind of nightlife empire
I'm trying to build.

And I am sure you'll do it.

You seem like the kind
of guy that gets what he wants.

I want your word that
I'll get this party again next year.

As tempting as the idea
of spending more time with you is,

James, you know
I can't promise that.

Sure, you can.

We're thinking of having the party
at Art Basel weekend next year.

- In Miami?
- Mm.

Exactly, capitalizing
on the international crowd.

Stern's opening a club
on Ocean Drive.

- Probably do the party there.
- Of course.

We've done New York to death.

It gets so cold here.

I feel trapped after a while.

Miami, it'd be warm, sunny...

fresh start.

A fresh start.

Cynthia Sheridan signed
the final contracts for the party.

Any of the guests
puke on the banquettes again,

she'll pay for reupholstery herself.

Have it in print.

That's funny.

You okay, boss?

Absolutely.

Doesn't seem like it.

Speaking of Cynthia,
did she tell you

next year's party's
gonna be in Miami?

No shit.

One of Simon Stern's clubs.
That motherfucker's everywhere.

South Beach is hot.

I worked as a promoter
there a couple of winters.

You still know people down there?

Yeah, I do.
Why?

Get your food while it's hot.
Come on, girls, eat up.

There's plenty for everybody.

- Ladies first.
- Tariq, stop it.

Come on.

And make sure
you take a napkin, all right?

Be careful, don't spill
anything on the couch.

- Let me get two.
- Get that pillow.

I never did
anything like this for you.

I see you trying
to do better by these kids.

I am.

I'm just trying to be a good...

Where's James?

He's with another woman.

Told you that club was trouble.

Some model or something?

I wish it was like that.

Shawn told me
her name is Angela.

You were right.
You happy now?

- I couldn't keep him.
- Of course I'm not happy.

I remember how this felt.

Your father would come home,
take a shower,

and get in bed
next to me like it was nothing.

Then he stopped
taking that shower.

I talked to LaKeisha about it.

I'm just gonna get a lawyer,

and I'm sure
I'll get custody of the kids.

LaKeisha is as simple
as two plus two.

You are married
to a drug dealer, Tash.

Ghost would never hurt me.

There are all different
kinds of hurt, baby.

What would you do
if you had to leave tonight?

Do you have any money
of your own?

The legit accounts
are in both our names.

I can get half of that.

I done told you before,

you ain't got no legal claim
on his illegal money.

That's what you need to survive.

You've got to have a plan.

You got to look
before you leap, baby.

I have something for you, Angie.

Jamie,
no more gifts,

no more lingerie,
no more shoes.

Just you.

Okay, me.

We're going to Miami
for the weekend.

- What?
- Yeah.

I'm gonna open a Truth
down there like I said I would.

I thought everything
with Stern went sideways.

It did go sideways,
so I'm gonna do it on my own.

Kantos knows
some people down there.

He's gonna arrange
some meetings for me.

I'm gonna look at rental space
while I'm there.

I want your opinion.

I want you to be with me.

Think, the beach, the sun.

- Waking up together.
- A fresh start.

What will you tell Tasha
about where you're going?

A business trip.

But I don't want you
to think about all that, all right?

Just come with me.

Just come with me to Miami.

I would love to.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Bye, Ian.
- Talk later, bye.

I'll just meet you after class.

- Hi.
- Hi.

We have to be careful.

That's so cute.

- You like it?
- Yeah.

I saw it today and thought of you.

Here.

- I love this.

Yeah?

Need a car
to meet us at the airport.

We're staying
at the Fontainebleau.

Uh, sure, it's St. Patrick.

Yo, man, what's up?

Tommy?

Yeah?

Gentlemen,
I apologize for the theatrics,

but your government
has been observing my every move.

So I am gonna take
every precaution necessary

to conceal my location.

Besides...

now we all just get to relax.

I think we'd relax a lot better
if we weren't tied up, jefe.

Very well.

It seems like your plan
to solve your problem

required the killing
of everybody in your organization.

Took some time
to find the man responsible.

- He handled that personally.
- He was a friend of mine, jefe.

I owed him that much.

Bravo, Ghost, huh?

Eres old school, man.

Iguales.

- Do you have a plan to rebuild?
- Sure as shit.

We're already in touch
with the new leader of the RSKs,

the Taínos are back in the fold.

Everybody's getting in line.

- Is that true, Ghost?
- Sí.

That's good,
'cause from now on,

I need you to distribute
double the amount of product.

I was betrayed.
Mm-hmm.

My operation in California
has been irretrievably compromised.

And until that situation is resolved,

I have product in the pipeline
that needs distribution.

- We got that.
- We're not set up, jefe.

Oh, no, we got
more than enough contacts

to double our output.

But we have to work out
the logistics, which takes time.

We got-- we're ready.

Hmm?

Why are you so unsure?

I just don't want
to give you my word, jefe,

unless I can guarantee
your distribution.

Mm-hmm.

Saying no would be...

Oh, we're not saying no.

We're just saying that we need
some time to set up a plan.

To move your weight.

Allow you the opportunity
to approve personnel.

Fine.

I will wait to hear your plan.

Are we sure
that the threat to your-- hmm--

to our business is over?

Fantasma, did you get
the right guy?

Yes.

I have to say,
I'm so relieved...

that we were able to work this out.

I would have hated
to have to kill you today.

Me, too.

Fantasma, I'll be expecting
your call, hmm?

Hmm?

That was bananas, man!

Who would have thought
when we woke up this morning

that crazy motherfucker'd
do us like this?

I'll take it, though, for real.
I'll take it.

Twice our product?
This is huge.

What the fuck was that
back there?

"I don't know, jefe.
Give us time."

He could have killed us.

If we fuck it up,
we're only delaying the inevitable.

Don't matter what Lobos says.

Twice the product
means twice the personnel,

- twice the exposure.
- This is the moment we waited for.

Twice the fucking risk, Tommy.

We always wanted to expand.
Now we ain't got to beg for it.

Lobos needs us
to move this shit.

You always said,
"Opportunity is luck plus... "

Preparation, Tommy, but we never
moved weight this big before.

We got to be prepared, man.
We got to think first, all right?

Can't think too long.
Lobos won't wait.

Hold on, man.

Glad to see you finally
got your priorities in order.

This is gonna be
a good thing, Ghost.

I'm gonna go see Ruiz,
get it shored up.

I'll drop you off on the way.

- Double the product?
- It's double everything.

More territory, more enemies,
how are you gonna survive that?

How are we gonna survive that,
you mean.

Because if I'm moving more,

I'm gonna be leaning on you
to do the same.

Line both our
motherfucking pockets.

And I appreciate that,
but let's be honest,

you've been under attack
for months.

We handled that shit.
It's over.

But you need to protect
yourselves in order to rebuild.

And unless you're willing to do that,

then perhaps the Soldado Nation
would be better off

finding itself another connect.

That's fucked up, Ruiz.

Nobody's getting you
better shit than us for the price.

Tommy, I got stitches
holding my lungs together

because Rolla's bitch
missed my heart by a dog's hair.

If I'm gonna get into
something like this with you,

I need to feel secure.

You still get your guns
out of Florida?

I can get more guns,
but they need to be paid for.

We'll pay for it.

From now on, you import guns
for the entire organization.

You'll make more money
than every other primera under us,

and your security is guaranteed.

Sounds good,
but Ghost will never agree to that.

My word's not good enough?

What the fuck
you staring at, man?

Nothing, man.
Nothing.

Tell your mama I said hi.

Relax.

Hello?

Bruja, I need to see you.

Nomar, now's not
a good time for bullshit, okay?

I saw the distributor, mami.

Nah, and he wasn't
in that book you showed me.

Okay, I need to get you
with the sketch artist right away.

No, we got to talk first,
bruja, all right?

Witness protection.

If I I.D. this guy,
I'm a dead man.

I ain't telling you shit
unless I know I'll be safe.

Nomar called.
He saw the distributor last night.

Frankie, we could close this case.

They're shipping our files
off to LA with their thanks.

- Frankie.
- WITSEC? No.

I can't get you witness protection
for Nomar Arcielo.

Angela, it is over.

Move on.

Where's the guy
who's usually outside?

- What guy?
- The guy in the telephone truck.

- You made him?
- Yeah, weeks ago.

But he's not there now.

Look, so we're having
a funding issue.

Government's broke,
but no one knows you're here.

- You're safe.
- Fuck that.

I'm out. Good luck finding
your fucking blanquito.

- I'm leaving town.
- Nomar, I got you WITSEC.

Witness protection?

My boss approved it
this morning.

- Really?
- Yeah.

But you got to stay here
until I can get the marshals

to take you into custody.

Nah, I got to say
good-bye to some people.

I'll arrange a farewell
with the marshals for your family.

Until then,
don't talk to anyone, okay?

Give me 24 hours.

So Ruiz in?

- He wouldn't commit.
- Motherfucker.

He wants to bring in guns for us.

We put up the money this time,
he straps our whole crew,

but the real problem
is expansion.

I say we go to the Serb and Drift,
some of their friends.

We get North Jersey
and Staten Island on lock.

No, they got their own connect
bringing the product.

To lure them away,
we got to lower our fucking price.

- No wa...
- Or we kill that motherfucker

and make ourselves
the best option.

So let me get this straight.
You're saying that we run

the gun deal with Ruiz,

we hit a major connect,
possibly starting a war.

- That's the plan?
- You got a better idea?

You got to start
trusting me, Ghost.

I was right about Rolla, wasn't I?

I'm your friend.

The moment I detect disloyalty,

I cut it out like a cancer.

You're right, Tommy.

You're right.

I got distracted.

And then you stepped it up.

If you hadn't been about it
all this time,

we wouldn't be
in this position to rebuild.

I shoulda listened to you.

Damn straight,
you shoulda listened to me.

So now I'm listening.

You want to do
the gun deal with Ruiz?

We get street soldiers,
then we expand.

We get the RSKs, the Taínos,

I get Ruiz back in line,
the Haitians, the Serbs,

maybe even the Chinese.

- How fast can we make this happen?
- You say the word, I'll make the calls.

You don't need me
to say the word.

I think you should
take the lead on this,

be the authority on the streets.

What you mean?
We always done this together.

I ain't going anywhere.

But if we're making twice
the amount of money...

hell, maybe I
should open a second club

to clean that money, hmm?

Shit, maybe you should.

I want you to get the respect
you deserve on the streets,

Tommy, so people
don't ask me what I think.

They ask what you think.

We're two men, but we speak
with one voice.

Two men, one voice.

I like that.

So after we get all the commitments,
you make the calls.

Tell 'em we're good to go.

Get that extra cash
in our pocket as fast as we can.

Tommy, one more thing.

We can't expand
beyond this, all right?

Probably the most weight
we can handle.

We'll see.

Oh. It's on.

- Hello?
- Shawn.

Dad?

I need you
to do something for me.

Yeah, anything.

You can't tell your Uncle Ghost,
Tommy, nobody.

I need to know I can trust you.

I need to get Nomar
into WITSEC.

He saw the distributor
the other night.

He saw Ghost, but he won't
sit down with a sketch artist

until I give him
to the marshals.

Well, it usually
doesn't take that long.

Frankie said no.

The task force is done.

I've got him holed up
at the safe house,

but I got to get results
or he's gonna run.

I know you
have friends over there.

Mm.

You can make a call,

maybe shoehorn him in
into another investigation.

Gang violence,
gun possession, kiddie porn.

Anything that would support
Nomar's WITSEC application.

I've, uh, bent the rules for you
more times than I can possibly count.

Frankly, my incentive
to do so has disappeared, so...

He saw Ghost's face.

Greg.

I'll call over there,
see if they have anything current

where Nomar's information
might apply.

- If I get them to do it--
- Thank you.

If I get them to do it,
drinks are on you.

Deal.

Got something
to cheer you up.

She gave them
back to you, huh?

I got those for her.

Bought these for you.

You must really love that girl.

- These ain't cheap.
- I want us all to be a family.

You and Holly getting along,
Ghost back to normal.

Oh, he's back to normal.

Yeah, totally back on track.

He knows what matters now.

You think that's what happened?

Think he...

forgot what matters?

I think maybe for a minute.

But he's back in his senses now.

Everything's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be
like it always was, T.

The three of us
against the world.

Plus Holly now.

Sure.

Sure.

Papi! Give it back!

Do your homework,
then you get it back.

- I did it already.
- Show me.

Greg, call me
as soon as you hear anything.

I want Nomar in custody.

I'm supposed to get
on a plane tomorrow,

and if we can't get it done,
I should cancel my trip.

Let me know.

- Hey, mamita.
- Oh, hey, Paz.

- I forgot to tell you.
- You going somewhere?

Miami.

They're gonna be doing
some reassignments at work.

I'm looking
at the southern Florida office.

What? That's ridiculous.
There's got to be something closer.

You have a lady boss, right?

Did you tell her about papi?

I did, but--

A work trip, huh?

Okay.

I'm going with Jamie.

He wants to open up a club
in South Beach.

If he does, maybe I'll see
if there's a position at my level

open in the Miami office.

I don't know.

We're going for the weekend,
but we want to make it more permanent,

so maybe Miami's
how we do that.

Maybe that's what he's telling you

because he wants
to keep fucking you.

Jamie loves me.

He told me he's gonna
make things work.

I believe him.

This is changing you, Angela.

You just lied to my face.

I lied because I knew
you wouldn't support me,

because deep down,
I think you want me

to be as alone and unhappy
as you are.

I might be unhappy and alone,

but at least I'm not a chilla.

Can't you see he's making
you like him?

- A liar, a cheat.
- I told you, Jamie and I are in love.

I need you to be happy for me.

I'm not gonna stand by
and watch you ruin your life.

Then I need you
to give me the key to my place.

Jamie needs one now,
you don't.

So now we're running
drugs and guns?

Shit, as long as I've known Ghost,

he hasn't been cool with moving heat.

He agreed to that?

He did, but from now on,
I ain't got to ask Ghost.

He trusts me to make moves.

I run the streets,
he cleans the money.

It's all good.

Oh, should I come back?

No, Julio was just leaving.

Holly, Julio.
Julio, Holly.

- Nice to meet you.
- You, too.

It's all there.

Lobos is gonna deliver the powder,
same as always,

but we got to figure out how
to get the guns up from Elizabeth.

I'll get Victor and Darien
ready to make the runs.

Yeah.

Does he work for you?

Yeah.

Ooh, God,
you smell good.

That's nice.

Fuck.

You owe me.

Big.

Your friends
got Nomar into the program?

They are on their way
to get Nomar now for an interview

and a sketch artist, too.

Thank you, Greg.

Thank you so much.

This could be the break
we're looking for.

So you want
to get that drink to celebrate?

I can't.

I'm waiting for a call from a friend
in the southern Florida office.

What, new case?

A prosecutor at my level
is leaving for corporate.

You know how you said
to let Lobos go.

Although now that Nomar's
gonna be in custody,

maybe something can come of it.

Wait, what?

You're going to Miami?

Your father's here.
You said you--

There is a guy.

Was all along.

Is that...

ls that where you're going
with this trip, you're going with him?

It's not like that, Greg.

You know,
you could have just said it.

- Didn't have to lie to my face.
- It wasn't a lie at the time.

- I wasn't sure about him before.
- Are you sure now?

I got it. Yo, yo, yo,
I got it, I got it, I got it.

I got it, I got it, I got it.
I got it.

You look really hot in this thing.

That's the idea.

More ass equals more tips.

You got guys
all over you there every night.

It's a good job.
I make good money.

You're with me now.
You don't need money.

Tell Kantos you quit.

I've never had anybody
take care of me.

I wouldn't be good at it.

But I could work for you maybe.

We'd be in it together.

Ruiz, glad you called.

- That gun thing is a go.
- Fuck the guns.

We could be blood brothers for life
if you do this for me tonight.

I do a favor for you
and you're in?

Good,
what you need, man?

One of my soldiers,
name is Nomar.

Been fucking my little girl.

Sent her a picture
of his goddamn dick.

That's fucked up.

I'll call Julio, send him over.

Naw, can't send
no Latino after Nomar.

If he suspects
that I know about him and Isabel,

he'll be looking for PRs,
somebody that I would send,

but he won't be looking
for a white guy.

- Tomás.
- Got you.

Where can I find him?

- Going somewhere?
- Yeah, business trip.

Kantos
has some contacts in Miami.

I'm going tonight to look
at rental space for a second club.

- Second club in Miami?
- Yeah.

Kantos gonna
move down there and run it?

I'd get things started there.
He'll run things here.

Oh, 'cause he got
three kids to look after.

Tasha, if this happens,
I'll see the kids.

I'll fly back and forth
if I have to.

How long
you been planning to go?

- Well, it just came up today.
- I could go with you.

Big Mama can watch the kids.

It's club business, Tasha.

You don't want to hear about it,
remember?

Ever since you've opened that club,

you've been different, Ghost.

It's like I don't know who you are.

I've been trying to tell you, Tasha.

You ain't been listening.

When I get back from Miami,
we should talk.

What'd she say?

She didn't say much.
I think she knew.

We've been growing apart
for a long time, Angie.

You're not the only reason
this happened.

That doesn't make me feel better.

Does this?

Hmm?

I'm all yours now.

And soon I'll be totally free.

Told you I'd come through.

You did and you did.

Mm.

- I need to open a new account.
- Great.

Will we be pulling
from your and Mr. St. Patrick's

joint money market
or joint checking?

We won't be pulling from anywhere.

I see.

I need a checking account
with a debit card.

One debit card, my name only.

- May I borrow your pen, please?
- Of course.

Thank you.

I need all the bank statements sent
to this address in Long Island City,

care of LaKeisha Grant.

Is there anything else,
Mrs. St. Patrick?

Yes, just one thing.

My husband, Mr. St. Patrick,
can't know about this account, okay?

Promise me not to say anything?

I actually can't.

By law I'm not allowed to,
so your secret is safe with me.

Alex, you're so sweet.

Can you let me
into the safety deposit box now?

Yes.

Hey.

- I'm sorry.
- No worries.

Bruja, Ruiz knows
I'm working for you.

He's gonna try to kill me.
Send help.

Thank you.

I love you.

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

See you soon.

Real soon.

Uno más.

Bruja,
Ruiz knows I'm working for you.

He's gonna try to kill me.
Send help.

Greg,
Nomar's been compromised.

We have to get to Queens now.

Hey!

You like to fuck little girls, huh?

Fuck.

Ah!

Ruiz said to bring him your dick.

Ghost.

What did you say?

Nomar?

Nomar?

Nomar?

Shit!

This is AUSA Angela Valdes.

My C.I.'s been stabbed.
I need an ambulance and backup now.

The suspect
might still be in the area.

- Who did this?
- Ghost.

- Where did he go?
- Shit.

No, no, no, Nomar.

Nomar, stay with me.

Don't close your eyes.
Nuh-uh.

James, James.

This is great.
Everyone's having a wonderful time.

That's what I like to hear.

You know, if it weren't
for the whole Miami Art Basel thing,

I'm sure I could get
my clients to bring this party back

to Truth next year.

Well, you might
not have to choose to.

After you and I
had our conversation,

I did some research.

And what would you say,
Cynthia,

if I said I was
opening a Truth in Miami?

Okay, if you
can get it open in time--

God, I shouldn't be saying this--
it's a date.

All right.

Have fun.

Holly, I need you to stay downstairs
and serve the main bar.

I'd rather work upstairs.

All the good people are in VIP.

You do what I say when I say it, okay?

I don't care
if you're sleeping with Tommy.

You still work for me
until you fucking don't.

Well, actually,
tonight's my last night.

Tommy doesn't
want me working here anymore.

I'm gonna work with him
in your other business.

- You're gonna do what?
- That's right.

You and I are partners now, Ghost.

What'd you call me?

Oh. my God!
Oh. my God!

You ain't tell nobody I was
getting out tonight, now, did you?

- No.
- Good.

'Cause I want it to be a surprise.

Your loyalty's
to me first now, right?

Right.

All right.

Let's go.

Hey, this is Jim McClure,

the sketch artist you requested
to work with Nomar Arcielo.

Yeah, hi.

Listen, about that...

They didn't pay my hours.

Something about
the case being closed?

I don't understand.
You never met with Nomar.

- What hours?
- No, I got Mr. Arcielo's number

from Agent Greg Knox.
We spoke on the phone.

But I need to see him
in person to get more details.

I was only able to work
up a partial sketch.

Send it to me.

You have my email?

I'll pay for it out of my own pocket,
just send it to me now.

Jimmy, good to see you again.

- Officer Donato.
- I hate to tell you.

We're gonna have to close
Truth down until further notice.

- How long?
- Could be a month, could be a year.

These things
take time and money.

We'll be in touch.

Fantasma.
I was about to give up on you.

Lobos, we're in,

but not for double the weight.
I need all the product you can send.

All of it.

I'm glad to see
you overcame your hesitation.

I have a sudden need
for a larger influx of cash.

We have a deal.

If you come through,
the rewards will be massive.

- If not, well...
- I know the stakes, jefe.

It's quite a large commitment.

I know.

I'll be the biggest goddamn
drug dealer in New York City.
