Power (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Ghost Is Dead - full transcript
Bodies from Ghost's organization drop left and right, each death inching closer to Ghost and Tommy.
Previously on power...
Mrs. Stern,
i have good reason
to believe that simon's
Been skimming
from the clubs,
hiding assets.
There's proof,
i can destroy him
in this divorce.
You said you had
documentation?
I will.
I'm gonna leave town
with the kids.
I want you
to come with us.
Lobos's dispute
with the jimenez cartel
In mexico
has turned deadly.
New york
is not safe anymore.
I can put nomar's killer
in jail if you help me.
Ghost:
So you arrested tommy?
Angela:
He was standing in a hotel
room with felipe lobos.
You got lobos, too?
Judge lefevre:
It is your belief that
the completed sketch
Was withheld in order
to deceive the court?
We request you dismiss
with prejudice.
I agree.
Mr. Egan,
you're free to go.
You stole that sketch
from my apartment.
We've both been
playing dirty, angie.
Angela:
He played me
just like you said.
Tell me everything you've got
on james st. Patrick.
We're gonna take him down.
Ghost being dead
is something we all want.
With all y'all behind me,
we'll put ghost and tommy
out the game forever.
Ghost:
What kanan's asking
you to do, shawn,
No real father should ever
ask of their son.
I knew you couldn't kill
ghost 'cause you're weak.
Dad!
You don't deserve
to be my son.

Mike, wait.
I don't have time
for the apology, angela.
You'll have a formal
hearing about the egan
sketch in a few days.
Maybe you should think
about the private sector.
It's about the egan case.
There is something
i should have said
weeks ago.
I think i'd better
tell you now.
Cashier's check?
[ chuckles ]
It's a nice touch,
But i think you should
put me on retainer.
Tommy's out
free and clear,
Till they catch him
reoffending.
But the feds,
they still want
to nail lobos,
Which means you're still
vulnerable to charges.
And your girlfriend,
the prosecutor--
Angela.
Whoo.
We blew her up in court.
I doubt she's gonna have
that job much longer.
And if i were her,
I'd want to nail you
on my way out the door.
Name you
as a witness
at least,
But probably
as a defendant.
Angela
wouldn't do that.
I've considered
all the angles.
I'm going legit.
Trust me, i'm good.
You're right.
You are good.
But you don't have
eyes in the back
of your head.
You want out?
You want to walk away?
Clean? You've got
to cut ties with everybody
who knows who you are.
Including you?
If i need you,
i'll call you.
But don't wait up.
I've got everything
under control.
[ sizzling ]
[ r&b music playing ]
Oh, what?
Tommy! Damn!
I'm gonna have to get
the kids out here before
there's nothing left.
Look, i had enough
of the government's
Fucking nutrition loaf
to last me a lifetime.
I thought i was never
gonna get one of these again.
You know, ghost said
he had a plan,
But for a minute
i wasn't so sure.
Yeah, me either.
I mean, i get arrested
and he don't?
It's hard not to think
that that's fucked up.
But you should have seen
the look on angela's face
When my lawyer
pulled out that sketch.
Oh, yeah, ghost played
her like checkers.
She never saw it coming.
[ chuckles ]
Ghost put
our family first, t.
He and angela are over.
Maybe things can
go back to the way
they were, you know?
Before all this shit.
Um, tommy, can you go
get the kids up?
Tell them
we're gonna be late.
Sure.
All right, thank you.
But i'm gonna need
some more bacon.
You know what?
Get outta here.
[ chuckles ]
Tommy:
'riq, raina.
Where you at?
[ knocking ]
'riq?
[ sighs ]
Shawn, where are you?
It's almost 8:00.
The kids have to be
in the car for school
in a few minutes.
If you're not gonna
make it, let me know.
[ phone buzzing ]
Hey, girl.
Jarita:
Hey, shawn didn't
come home last night.
He's not answering
his phone, so i thought
i'd call you.
I told you
to look out for him.
I heard from him
last night.
Said he had some
business driving ghost.
Look, you talk to shawn again,
you tell him to call me, okay?
I got you.
I'll tell shawn to call his
mom soon as he hits me up.
That's some cold shit, k.
What you think she gonna
do when she find out you
the one that clipped him?
She ain't gonna
find out shit, right?
If you did your job
right, right?
I did what you
wanted me to do.
Nobody's gonna
find him, man.
Good.
You heard
from anybody?
[ siren wailing
in distance ]
Ruiz called
and i didn't answer.
Ghost ain't dead,
so what's there
to talk about?
Good, don't take
none of their calls
till we got our next move.
Now that shawn done
fucked this shit up,
Ghost know we'll be
coming for him.
And he'll be ready,
so we need to be ready.
Get the crew
in here strapped.
Did i stutter,
motherfucker?
[ scoffs ]
[ kissing ]
[ dog whines ]
Oh, you missed daddy
while i was gone,
didn't you?
You know what?
If i'm lobos,
I might be suspicious
of you sitting here
Making out with your dog
while i'm on the inside.
Got to keep our head
on a swivel, tommy.
No, what we gotta do
is make it crystal clear
That i ain't said
shit against him.
Me getting out
was a fed fuck-up.
All right.
I'll call him,
let him know right away.
Make sure he's still down
with us moving his weight.
Then i need to call
the primeras, let them know
we're back in business.
So i'll hit ruiz,
you get serb and drifty.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Cheers.
But we got a bigger
problem, tommy.
Shawn put a gun
to my head and tried
to kill me last night.
Kanan's orders.
Oh, bullshit.
He's the one that hired
the hitter, got cruz killed,
and shot holly.
That was rolla.
The hitter told me with
her dying breath it wasn't.
[ grunts ]
i suspected kanan.
Wasn't until last night
i was sure.
He thinks i'm the reason
he went inside.
Needed his time
to be someone's fault,
so he made it mine.
If that was true,
why didn't he just
cap us when he got out?
'cause he wanted
the business back.
He needed to learn
how it worked.
What you taught him.
All he needed was
an introduction to lobos.
Oh, shit.
He asked to come
to the lobos meet.
He wanted me
to take him.
Of course he did.
With lobos on the inside,
Kanan's got to find
another connect
and take us out.
It's his only play.
Unless he still
trusts you.
[ knocks ]
Knox, come on in.
Sorry i'm late, sir.
I was looking for angela.
We were supposed to meet
with you together to discuss
james st. Patrick.
Actually, greg,
i already spoke to angela.
She came in early.
I wonder if you can back
her up on some of the details.
Come on, have a seat.
When did angela first have
contact with st. Patrick
about the egan case?
[ knocks ]
uh...
Hey, jerry.
What are you doing here?
Ausa sandoval
asked me to join.
Please, continue,
agent knox.
The night we interrogated
holly weaver,
I saw them talking
at angela's apartment.
Why were you
at her apartment?
She seemed upset
after the weaver thing
went south, sir,
And i went there to...
See if she was okay.
He may have seen
the sketch at her place
that night and stolen it then.
After egan was released,
she was very upset.
She went
to st. Patrick's club
right from the office--
How do you know angela
went to truth straight
from here?
Did you follow her?
Mike, i know what it--
i know what it looks like,
But i was trying
to protect her.
If you thought she was
in danger, you could've
assigned her a detail
Through proper channels.
You had
a sexual relationship.
She broke things off,
you couldn't take no
for an answer.
[ chuckles ]
If that's what she told you,
then there's only one reason
that she would lie.
She must be working
with st. Patrick.
She's discrediting me
to cover for him
Because i told her
that we need to pursue
him as a suspect
Because i think
that james st. Patrick
is the real ghost.
If valdes is working
with egan and st. Patrick,
Then why the hell
would she have led us
to lobos?
I had the wrong address.
She had the right one.
She got us a collar.
Yes.
Is there hard evidence
against st. Patrick,
Or just your suspicions?
There's no-- no,
there's no evidence yet,
But we're making
some headway.
He was in her apartment.
No wonder you want
to put the cuffs on him.
St. Patrick took
advantage of angela.
She made mistakes,
but she wasn't aiding
and abetting.
I don't know
what you were doing.
She's filed a formal
harassment complaint, greg.
You're suspended,
effective immediately.
I'm gonna need
your gun and your badge.
Fuck.
Looks like they knew
where the cameras were.
No fucking faces.
Stern:
Faces wouldn't help.
Cops never catch
these kinds of people anyway.
And they got
all the cash on hand.
We were doing
such good business
That we didn't have time
to make a bank run.
'course, and insurance
doesn't cover cash.
Anything else missing?
Ghost:
Ledgers, paperwork.
But the numbers
will be in the system,
right, kantos?
Actually, i, uh,
didn't get a chance
to upload
The latest figures
from the ledgers
into the system.
What a shame.
Without those ledgers,
How will i know
if you reach the 20%
Necessary for you
to buy back truth?
We both know
i hit the mark.
Without that paperwork,
we don't know anything.
Let's look
on the bright side, james.
We get to keep
working together.
Isn't that a treat?
[ siren wailing
in distance ]
Yo!
I'm freezin'
my balls off out here!
Let's go!
[ gun hammers click ]
Yo, yo, yo.
What the fuck's up, dre?
What's up, k?
I miss something?
Can't trust any nigga
who gets sprung that fast.
I ain't no snitch,
motherfucker.
Why you here?
I'm here because
fuckin' ghost set me up.
I'm in a hotel room
with fuckin' lobos
and a bag full of dough.
Next minute, i'm doin'
a fuckin' perp walk,
no ghost in sight.
I'm at my pretrial shit,
my lawyer's like,
"blah blah blah, evidence
is wrong."
Judge says
they gotta let me go,
so i come straight here
Because i know
it's fuckin' ghost
that dimed me out.
Ghost did that
same shit to me.
Set me up.
Put me in 10 years
so he could run the hustle
his way.
Yeah, but ghost wasn't there
the night you got popped.
Ghost took the bulb
out the taillight
So i get pulled over
with the weight.
The anonymous tip
came from a woman-- tasha.
Tasha?
Really?
Why didn't you
tell me, man?
I thought you
might've been in on it.
I know you ain't now.
Lobos is still in lockup,
but that ain't gonna stop him
from movin' weight.
Now, i can't run with
that motherfucker by myself.
I need you, k.
No doubt.
And now that i know how
ghost treats his friends,
I'm thinkin' it might
be better to be his enemy
While he's still
walkin' around.
You know what i mean?
Yeah, motherfucker
fallen off, man.
I should've known.
Couldn't even take care
of that bitch in miami.
I mean, a bitch.
He didn't kill
that girl in miami?
Seems like this motherfucker
been lyin' to you
for a long time.
I wonder what else
you don't know.
Come on,
let's head to the back,
Talk about how
we gonna step to lobos.
Hey, ghost still think
you trust him.
Yep.
I think i just figured out
how we gonna lay this
motherfucker down.
Tommy came over
for breakfast this morning.
You got him out...
Just like
you said you would.
That's the ghost
i used to know.
Now you know why
i needed angela alive.
You were right, t,
to tell me to stay with
her until i had a plan.
Tommy told me
what you did to her
to get him out.
Said she could
lose her job.
So is it over...
Between you two?
Is it over
between you and shawn?
Yeah, i knew.
He told me himself
When he came last night
to kill me.
What?
Kanan put the gun in his hand,
but you know the real reason
He wanted me
out of the way, right?
[ sighs ]
I used angela
to protect our family.
You fuckin' that kid
could've destroyed it.
What would you
and the kids do
If shawn had pulled
that trigger?
What did you do
to him, ghost?
I told him
to leave new york
and never come back.
So you just let him
walk away, just like that?
I don't blame him!
I blame you.
You and kanan.
Oh, and, t.
I'm sure you'll
hear from shawn
soon as he's set up.
But you know then
you got an important
decision to make.
I mean, you can stay here
with the kids
Or you can go live off
the salary of a high school
basketball coach.
Fuck you, ghost.
You need to look around.
There's no winners here.
Just me and you, baby.
Both of us.
Alone.
[ speaking serbian ]
[ gunshot ]
oh!
Saxe:
The doj would love
to spare the taxpayers
The expense of a trial.
If you're willing
to take a deal,
We can make certain...
Considerations.
Protective custody,
for example.
[ speaks spanish ]
your client doesn't
speak english now?
He went to wharton
business school.
Mm, qué?
[ speaking spanish ]
Wendrif menkins...
Vladimir jankovic...
[ sighs ]
Can i go back
to my cell now?
Told kanan i was
down to kill you.
He definitely thinks
you set him up.
He said tasha
was in on it, too.
He's out of his
goddamn mind.
You know, prison
does that to you.
Friends turn
into enemies.
No doubt.
Funny thing is,
He said you didn't kill
that bitch down in miami.
Someone else did.
It's true.
I got to her a second
after she was stabbed.
I talked to her,
but, no, i didn't
get the kill.
So you lied to my face.
Tommy, i wanted to tell you,
but you were so deep
under kanan's sway.
I ain't never given you
a reason not to trust me,
ghost.
Except that one time.
You know, the one where
you forgot to mention
That holly talked
to the feds?
You had your reasons,
tommy, for not telling me.
Don't make it
any less true, right?
Right?
Well, now you know
everything.
Do i?
Is there anything else
that i need to know?
Tommy, i burned angela
to get you out of jail.
What else i gotta do
to prove my loyalty to you?
You know what
she meant to me.
It's you and me, tommy,
just like it's always been.
I'll get kanan
to the spot.
After our last conversation,
my client generously agreed
To raise our settlement
offer half a percent.
You're joking.
I recommended a quarter percent,
but mr. Stern insisted.
Baby, i just
want you to be happy.
Happy? Without
the park avenue apartment
Or the house in long island
or the house in florida?
Have you thought
about hoboken?
Oh, i've thought
about a lot of things,
Mainly how you would look
in a prison uniform.
Prison?
Lawyer: Embezzlement.
It's only club fed,
but they still make you
wear the jumpsuit.
I'm sure you know
that my husband has
hidden assets offshore.
I'm sure you
helped him do it.
But you know where
those assets came from?
Embezzling money
from his own clubs.
Two sets of books,
two sets of cost reports,
two sets of everything.
We found ravenna holdings,
mr. Stern.
Simon, don't admit
to anything--
If she wanted me
in jail, she'd have gone
to the feds already.
What do you want,
madeline?
Bravo, james.
The robbery was a ruse
Just so you could get
your hands on the books.
Kantos told you,
i take it?
He didn't have to.
I can add.
I brought the club
to 20% profit, simon.
But the numbers didn't show it
because you were hiding
something.
All i had to do
was find proof.
And give it to madeline
so she could ruin me.
You won't enjoy
working for her, james.
She's a tremendous bitch.
So are you, darling.
You have the papers
for me to sign, james?
Oh, let me guess.
You bought truth
back from her.
And verbatim and syrup.
See, i think it's time
for me to expand.
Take care
of yourself, james.
You, too.
It was a pleasure
doing business
with you both.
This isn't over, james.
Yes, simon, it is.
But you were right
about one thing.
Because of you,
I'm now exactly the man
i always wanted to be.
[ chattering ]
Ghost: Angie!
[ sighs ]
angela. Angie.
Go away.
I don't want
to talk to you.
Look, look.
Stop, stop, angie.
I made a deal
with madeline stern
to beat simon,
Get truth back
plus two more clubs.
Fully legit.
So you're totally clean?
I will be.
[ scoffs ]
god.
What i'm saying is
everything that i said
Would happen
is gonna come true.
Everything you ever
told me was a lie.
The problem is
it was a really good lie.
[ elevator dings ]
I could've burned you
yesterday.
But i thought about you
losing your kids.
I thought about you,
so i didn't do it.
I hurt someone else
instead.
He deserved better from me,
i deserve better from you.
[ keys jingling ]
You still
love me, angie.
My career is over
because of you!
Just like you worked
to get those clubs,
I worked to get
where i am.
Where i was.
I know this
never occurred to you,
but it's not just me.
It's my father in the home.
It's my nephew in college.
It's my sister.
My family depends on me.
And when isabel ruiz
gives her statement at my
bar hearing tomorrow,
Everything i worked for
goes down the drain.
But congratulations
to you, jamie.
Looks like you got
everything you wanted.
Now go away
and leave me alone.
Can you do
that one thing for me?
Can you leave me
the fuck alone?
Thank you.
[ elevator dings ]
Goodbye, ghost.
Okay, we all good.
I talked to lobos
and he wants to deal.
Nah, ghost don't suspect
a fuckin' thing.
Hey, i'll talk to you later.
I gotta go.
[ barking ]
Bell!
Hi.
[ dog whining ]
Tommy.
I'll give you
a head start.
'cause when i catch you,
it ain't gonna be good.
Ghost sent me away.
I didn't want to leave you.
He made me go.
You better step
your lying,
Gold-digging,
snitching ass off
Or i will choke you out
in front of god and everybody.
Look in the bag.
I can prove i'm telling
the truth about ghost.
Ask him about
monica moore.
I love you, tommy.
[ whimpers ]
bell, let's go.
[ chatter ]
[ speaks spanish ]
[ music thumping ]
[ chatter ]
[ camera shutters
clicking ]
Wait here.
[ hammer clicks ]
Welcome to truth.
Your boy already
wanded me, man.
I ain't packin'.
Are you just gonna
shoot me right here, man?
I'm not here
to kill you, man.
That was you in miami,
wasn't it?
In the alleyway?
Got to the girl
before i did.
I killed her
because kanan told me to.
But i'm not taking orders
from him no more, man.
He's fucked up in the head.
Tell me something
i don't know.
Shawn came to see you
the other night.
And after you sent him away,
he came to the shack.
Kanan shot him.
He told me to dump the body
so nobody could find it.
Fuck.
That was it for me, man.
Ghost, you know
i'm a father, man.
If he could do that
to his own son, what you
think he's gonna do to me?
It's exactly the same thing
i should do to you for
workin' with him.
[ breathing heavily ]
You wanna work
with me, huh?
What more
i gotta prove, man?
[ horns honk
in distance ]
He bought it.
Ghost thinks i'm
on his side now.
What about tommy?
[ scoffs ]
Motherfucker don't
suspect a thing, man.
Ghost think he got
that white boy in pocket
like he always does.
Good.
Tommy'll bring him
to the spot.
We'll take him out
just like they did breeze
back in the day.
You'll get rid of the body.
We'll have
the whole crew meet,
Tell 'em how everything
gonna roll with lobos.
So i ain't comin'
to the meeting?
Sure, we'll still be there
when you get back.
[ scoffs ]
I need you to reach out
to the serb, ruiz, and drifty,
And explain to 'em
tommy on our side now.
Ghost did him
just like he did me.
Greedy motherfucker
don't know how to treat
a friend.
[ lighter clicks ]
This shit is good.
[ speaking spanish ]
[ keys jingling ]
Ghost: Víbora.
Vibora: Ghost?
You heard tommy
got knocked?
I heard he got out.
But lobos
is still inside.
Since tommy
didn't spill,
The feds will need
a witness against him.
So, i've done the math.
Lobos' best play
is to eliminate anyone
who can talk.
Ruiz, the others
have only heard his name,
But you and i,
we've seen his face.
[ speaks spanish ]
You want me
to leave new york?
Not just us,
our families, too.
Lobos goes
scorched earth.
I'm telling you,
i need you to go
into hiding
So that nobody,
especially lobos,
will ever find you.
[ classical music playing ]
[ pounds on door ]
Guard:
Food's here.
[ groaning ]
The defendant,
angela valdes,
Is charged with the violation
of new york state unified
court system's
Rule of professional
conduct 4.4a,
Obtaining evidence
that violates the rights
of a third party,
In this case a minor,
isabel ruiz.
The new york state bar
is also seeking grounds
for disbarment.
At minimum, a censure
against ms. Valdes on
her permanent record.
I have reviewed
all the exhibits
submitted into evidence
And i'm inclined to hear
the testimony of the witness,
Miss isabel ruiz,
before hearing any other
arguments from counsel.
Ahem.
There has been a, um--
a change in the availability
Of the witnesses,
your honor.
Miss ruiz did not
appear this morning
And calls to her home
have not been returned.
Automated voice:
You've reached...
Isabel's voice: Isabel.
Automated voice:
I'm sorry, the inbox you are
trying to reach is full.
Ah, isabel ruiz
didn't show up, did she?
How do you know that?
[ scoffs ]
you got off scot-free.
What's going on?
Oh, right, yeah,
you were suspended.
So temporarily.
Lobos was stabbed
in his cell this morning.
Most of his network's
been eliminated in
the past 36 hours.
Ruiz and his whole family
boarded a plane to california.
We lost track of them
after they landed.
They could be
anywhere by now.
Any other bodies?
Egan?
No, just drifty,
vladimir, and lobos,
Each with a spider
loteria card left nearby.
The jimenez.
Looks like they finally
caught up to lobos.
Looks like it.
He's in surgery right now.
Is he gonna make it?
It's anybody's guess.
[ line ringing ]
Pick up.
Come on, pick up.
Automated voice:
You've reached 347-555-0156.
Please leave a message.
[ beeps ]
jamie, call me back.
Yo, tommy.
Tommy?
[ door rattling ]
Can't get out
that way, kanan.
I said it myself--
tight like a pair of balls.
[ hammer clicks ]
Where tommy?
He got a gun, too?
He ain't here.
That wasn't part
of the plan, was it?
Why he ain't show?
This how it's gonna go?
You just gonna
shoot me unarmed
like a little bitch?
Unarmed, huh?
What the fuck is this?
This the gun you used
to kill your own son?
He wasn't
my son no more.
He was your son.
[ groans ]
[ grunting ]
[ shouting ]
[ grunts ]
[ electricity buzzing ]
Put the fuckin'
wrench down.
[ wrench clangs ]
[ clicks ]
I'll do you just like
you did rolla.
Only you deserve it.
[ grunting ]
[ gasping ]
10 years locked up,
i thought about killing you
a hundred different ways.
Put a gun in your mouth
and watch your brains hit
the walls in your club.
I made you
watch me fuck tasha.
I pushed you off the roof
of your bougie-ass crib.
I seen you dead
so many times,
I was worried i wouldn't
enjoy it when i finally
got my chance.
Boy, was i wrong.
Whoa, this is even better
than i thought.
[ grunts ]
[ gasps, panting ]
[ wheezing, coughing ]
You always talked
too fuckin' much.
[ lighter clicks ]
[ door opens, closes ]
[ liquid pours ]
[ groans ]
Kanan's dead, huh?
Yeah, i figured
it'd shake out that way.
I gave you the drop.
Where the fuck were you?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I could've been killed.
I was hangin' out
with her.
You can't trust her.
No, i can't trust you.
You paid her to leave.
She's trouble, man.
Just like kanan
was trouble back
in the day?
Like i was trouble
when i wouldn't help you
kill lobos?
You think i'm fuckin'
stupid, don't you?
Just like kanan did.
I don't think
you're fuckin' stupid.
You know what?
Maybe i am fuckin' stupid.
Because i thought
this was some sort of
midlife crisis shit--
Fuck your bitch
from high school,
Play "what if,"
and move on.
And i thought when you
got me out of jail
and burned angela
That you were still
the same old ghost
Underneath all
the bullshit,
my brother.
But my brother's gone.
So i'm gonna do
your lyin' ass a favor
and take over.
I'ma distribute
for lobos from now on
With ruiz, the serb,
and drift,
And leave you to your
precious party planning,
all right, motherfucker?
Tommy, come--
no, i'm gonna
buy you out.
Just do me one favor
and stay the fuck
outta my business.
There is
no more business.
[ laughs ]
The fuck
does that mean?
They all knew
our names, tommy.
They knew our faces.
Keeping them alive
was too risky.
The only way out
was to cut all ties.
Ain't nobody left.
So when i was
hittin' them up
And they was writin' back,
That was you trickin' me?
So you could kill them
without telling me first?
Whoo.
They were disloyal
to us, tommy.
All of 'em.
They all
deserved to die.
They was trouble, huh?
[ hammer clicks ]
So, what, ghost,
am i next?
Tommy, don't do this.
You got everything
you wanted.
What about what i want?
We got a business.
We got a legitimate
fuckin' business.
One more time
with that fucking shit.
That's your business.
This is my business.
It's the only thing
i was ever good at.
Fuck that.
You're great at it.
But i got more to offer.
You motherfucker.
No matter how much
your suits cost
Or how many clubs
you ever own,
You just
a ghetto-ass corner boy
from around the way
With a drunk for a daddy
and no mama.
Motherfucker.
You ain't
changed at all.
So do it, motherfucker.
Go on, do it.
Prove to me that you
ain't nothin' but a thug.
Go on, do it!
[ hammer clicks ]
Put the gun down.
You already
got yourself a new bitch?
Now.
You think
you traded up, kid?
Word of advice--
watch your back.
Have a nice life,
motherfucker.
[ door opens, closes ]
[ knock on door ]
[ sighs ]
[ sighs ]
What the hell
happened to you?
It was
a long night, angela.
How was your hearing?
Isabel ruiz
didn't show up.
But i think
you know that.
I came to tell you lobos'
whole new york syndicate
is dead or missing,
But i think you might
know that, too.
I heard.
How did you
survive this, jamie?
Why are you
the only one left?
If i accept what you are
and i love you anyway,
What does that make me?
If i care about
all of the things
you've done to get here,
I should walk out of here
right now and never come back.
You know what
you should do?
You should call
the bar committee
and accept the censure, too.
I should call my boss,
make a full confession,
put you in cuffs.
But when i thought
you were dead, i--
I didn't-- i couldn't care
about any of that.
I can't get over you,
But i can't be
with you, either.
I can't be with ghost.
Angela, there is
no more ghost.
Ghost is dead.
Forever?
After tonight,
ghost is gone for good.
But james st. Patrick is real,
standing right in front of you.
And very much
in love with you.
[ inhales sharply ]
[ distant sirens wailing ]
I'm right here.
I have my kids,
i have the clubs,
And everything
we ever wanted
can happen now.
[ sighs ]
And if i walk away now,
i'm just gonna be
standing back here
A week from now,
a month, a year.
[ soft laugh ]
If, from this
point forward,
You can be everything
you said you would be...
I can't promise i can
forget everything, jamie,
But i can try.
Girl, i still can't believe
that shawn didn't say goodbye.
It's just not like him.
I mean,
if he was in trouble,
he could've just come to me.
That's what we always
promised each other.
Maybe he decided
he wasn't ready to be
a daddy to three kids.
I kinda understand
why he wouldn't say goodbye.
You don't know
that's the reason.
[ phone buzzing ]
This could be him now.
Hello?
Yes?
This is
tasha st. Patrick.
[ r&b music playing ]

¶ early this morning ¶

You don't know

you'll get arrested.
You'll be fired.
You don't have
a signal down here.
I just-- i just wanted
to tell you in person
What an amazing lawyer
i think you are, really.
After all this time,
i'm just--
I gotta say,
i'm impressed.
Even i couldn't defend
the case you laid out
against me.
And i lived it.
Everything you told them
was a lie.
If you're not stalking me,
what are you doing here?
[ thuds ]
You burned me
to protect st. Patrick.
You fucking sold me out!
Because, you know,
you're boyfriend's dirty.
You know he's ghost,
right?
He's going down, angela,
and i swear to god...
You're going down with him.
[ door opens, closes ]
This is my fault,
'keisha.
No, it's not.
You didn't pull
the trigger.
But i know who did.
Verbatim is not
a total overhaul,
But i would like
a new lighting rig.

Go get it!
Looks like she needs
a little help.
I'm gonna make sure
she finds it.
Yeah, she's a little
retarded.
You're fucking with
the wrong motherfucker, man.
You have
an important call.
Who the fuck is this?
Thomas?
How is the girl, hmm?
A-and the dog?
Look, jefe,
I didn't say shit about you
to any-fucking-body.
I believe that you
were not aware
Of ghost's plan
to compromise us.
You would never
sign up for that.
But you sent
this motherfucker here
to kill me anyway.
No.
I want us
to work together.
Music to my ears.
But first i need you
to do something for me.
Kill ghost.
I know this will be
difficult for you,
So i'm going to make it
a very simple choice.
Kill fantasma and become
my sole distributor
Or i will kill
the both of you
And the girl.
And the dog.

Structure

These sprinklers
are still working?
Been vacant at least
three years, but plumbing's
still up to code.
Come take a look
at the south door.
Why would somebody break
in here to start a fire?
[ sighs ]
The tool mark's
on the wrong side
of the door.
Nobody broke in here.
Somebody broke out.

Mrs. Stern,
i have good reason
to believe that simon's
Been skimming
from the clubs,
hiding assets.
There's proof,
i can destroy him
in this divorce.
You said you had
documentation?
I will.
I'm gonna leave town
with the kids.
I want you
to come with us.
Lobos's dispute
with the jimenez cartel
In mexico
has turned deadly.
New york
is not safe anymore.
I can put nomar's killer
in jail if you help me.
Ghost:
So you arrested tommy?
Angela:
He was standing in a hotel
room with felipe lobos.
You got lobos, too?
Judge lefevre:
It is your belief that
the completed sketch
Was withheld in order
to deceive the court?
We request you dismiss
with prejudice.
I agree.
Mr. Egan,
you're free to go.
You stole that sketch
from my apartment.
We've both been
playing dirty, angie.
Angela:
He played me
just like you said.
Tell me everything you've got
on james st. Patrick.
We're gonna take him down.
Ghost being dead
is something we all want.
With all y'all behind me,
we'll put ghost and tommy
out the game forever.
Ghost:
What kanan's asking
you to do, shawn,
No real father should ever
ask of their son.
I knew you couldn't kill
ghost 'cause you're weak.
Dad!
You don't deserve
to be my son.

Mike, wait.
I don't have time
for the apology, angela.
You'll have a formal
hearing about the egan
sketch in a few days.
Maybe you should think
about the private sector.
It's about the egan case.
There is something
i should have said
weeks ago.
I think i'd better
tell you now.
Cashier's check?
[ chuckles ]
It's a nice touch,
But i think you should
put me on retainer.
Tommy's out
free and clear,
Till they catch him
reoffending.
But the feds,
they still want
to nail lobos,
Which means you're still
vulnerable to charges.
And your girlfriend,
the prosecutor--
Angela.
Whoo.
We blew her up in court.
I doubt she's gonna have
that job much longer.
And if i were her,
I'd want to nail you
on my way out the door.
Name you
as a witness
at least,
But probably
as a defendant.
Angela
wouldn't do that.
I've considered
all the angles.
I'm going legit.
Trust me, i'm good.
You're right.
You are good.
But you don't have
eyes in the back
of your head.
You want out?
You want to walk away?
Clean? You've got
to cut ties with everybody
who knows who you are.
Including you?
If i need you,
i'll call you.
But don't wait up.
I've got everything
under control.
[ sizzling ]
[ r&b music playing ]
Oh, what?
Tommy! Damn!
I'm gonna have to get
the kids out here before
there's nothing left.
Look, i had enough
of the government's
Fucking nutrition loaf
to last me a lifetime.
I thought i was never
gonna get one of these again.
You know, ghost said
he had a plan,
But for a minute
i wasn't so sure.
Yeah, me either.
I mean, i get arrested
and he don't?
It's hard not to think
that that's fucked up.
But you should have seen
the look on angela's face
When my lawyer
pulled out that sketch.
Oh, yeah, ghost played
her like checkers.
She never saw it coming.
[ chuckles ]
Ghost put
our family first, t.
He and angela are over.
Maybe things can
go back to the way
they were, you know?
Before all this shit.
Um, tommy, can you go
get the kids up?
Tell them
we're gonna be late.
Sure.
All right, thank you.
But i'm gonna need
some more bacon.
You know what?
Get outta here.
[ chuckles ]
Tommy:
'riq, raina.
Where you at?
[ knocking ]
'riq?
[ sighs ]
Shawn, where are you?
It's almost 8:00.
The kids have to be
in the car for school
in a few minutes.
If you're not gonna
make it, let me know.
[ phone buzzing ]
Hey, girl.
Jarita:
Hey, shawn didn't
come home last night.
He's not answering
his phone, so i thought
i'd call you.
I told you
to look out for him.
I heard from him
last night.
Said he had some
business driving ghost.
Look, you talk to shawn again,
you tell him to call me, okay?
I got you.
I'll tell shawn to call his
mom soon as he hits me up.
That's some cold shit, k.
What you think she gonna
do when she find out you
the one that clipped him?
She ain't gonna
find out shit, right?
If you did your job
right, right?
I did what you
wanted me to do.
Nobody's gonna
find him, man.
Good.
You heard
from anybody?
[ siren wailing
in distance ]
Ruiz called
and i didn't answer.
Ghost ain't dead,
so what's there
to talk about?
Good, don't take
none of their calls
till we got our next move.
Now that shawn done
fucked this shit up,
Ghost know we'll be
coming for him.
And he'll be ready,
so we need to be ready.
Get the crew
in here strapped.
Did i stutter,
motherfucker?
[ scoffs ]
[ kissing ]
[ dog whines ]
Oh, you missed daddy
while i was gone,
didn't you?
You know what?
If i'm lobos,
I might be suspicious
of you sitting here
Making out with your dog
while i'm on the inside.
Got to keep our head
on a swivel, tommy.
No, what we gotta do
is make it crystal clear
That i ain't said
shit against him.
Me getting out
was a fed fuck-up.
All right.
I'll call him,
let him know right away.
Make sure he's still down
with us moving his weight.
Then i need to call
the primeras, let them know
we're back in business.
So i'll hit ruiz,
you get serb and drifty.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Cheers.
But we got a bigger
problem, tommy.
Shawn put a gun
to my head and tried
to kill me last night.
Kanan's orders.
Oh, bullshit.
He's the one that hired
the hitter, got cruz killed,
and shot holly.
That was rolla.
The hitter told me with
her dying breath it wasn't.
[ grunts ]
i suspected kanan.
Wasn't until last night
i was sure.
He thinks i'm the reason
he went inside.
Needed his time
to be someone's fault,
so he made it mine.
If that was true,
why didn't he just
cap us when he got out?
'cause he wanted
the business back.
He needed to learn
how it worked.
What you taught him.
All he needed was
an introduction to lobos.
Oh, shit.
He asked to come
to the lobos meet.
He wanted me
to take him.
Of course he did.
With lobos on the inside,
Kanan's got to find
another connect
and take us out.
It's his only play.
Unless he still
trusts you.
[ knocks ]
Knox, come on in.
Sorry i'm late, sir.
I was looking for angela.
We were supposed to meet
with you together to discuss
james st. Patrick.
Actually, greg,
i already spoke to angela.
She came in early.
I wonder if you can back
her up on some of the details.
Come on, have a seat.
When did angela first have
contact with st. Patrick
about the egan case?
[ knocks ]
uh...
Hey, jerry.
What are you doing here?
Ausa sandoval
asked me to join.
Please, continue,
agent knox.
The night we interrogated
holly weaver,
I saw them talking
at angela's apartment.
Why were you
at her apartment?
She seemed upset
after the weaver thing
went south, sir,
And i went there to...
See if she was okay.
He may have seen
the sketch at her place
that night and stolen it then.
After egan was released,
she was very upset.
She went
to st. Patrick's club
right from the office--
How do you know angela
went to truth straight
from here?
Did you follow her?
Mike, i know what it--
i know what it looks like,
But i was trying
to protect her.
If you thought she was
in danger, you could've
assigned her a detail
Through proper channels.
You had
a sexual relationship.
She broke things off,
you couldn't take no
for an answer.
[ chuckles ]
If that's what she told you,
then there's only one reason
that she would lie.
She must be working
with st. Patrick.
She's discrediting me
to cover for him
Because i told her
that we need to pursue
him as a suspect
Because i think
that james st. Patrick
is the real ghost.
If valdes is working
with egan and st. Patrick,
Then why the hell
would she have led us
to lobos?
I had the wrong address.
She had the right one.
She got us a collar.
Yes.
Is there hard evidence
against st. Patrick,
Or just your suspicions?
There's no-- no,
there's no evidence yet,
But we're making
some headway.
He was in her apartment.
No wonder you want
to put the cuffs on him.
St. Patrick took
advantage of angela.
She made mistakes,
but she wasn't aiding
and abetting.
I don't know
what you were doing.
She's filed a formal
harassment complaint, greg.
You're suspended,
effective immediately.
I'm gonna need
your gun and your badge.
Fuck.
Looks like they knew
where the cameras were.
No fucking faces.
Stern:
Faces wouldn't help.
Cops never catch
these kinds of people anyway.
And they got
all the cash on hand.
We were doing
such good business
That we didn't have time
to make a bank run.
'course, and insurance
doesn't cover cash.
Anything else missing?
Ghost:
Ledgers, paperwork.
But the numbers
will be in the system,
right, kantos?
Actually, i, uh,
didn't get a chance
to upload
The latest figures
from the ledgers
into the system.
What a shame.
Without those ledgers,
How will i know
if you reach the 20%
Necessary for you
to buy back truth?
We both know
i hit the mark.
Without that paperwork,
we don't know anything.
Let's look
on the bright side, james.
We get to keep
working together.
Isn't that a treat?
[ siren wailing
in distance ]
Yo!
I'm freezin'
my balls off out here!
Let's go!
[ gun hammers click ]
Yo, yo, yo.
What the fuck's up, dre?
What's up, k?
I miss something?
Can't trust any nigga
who gets sprung that fast.
I ain't no snitch,
motherfucker.
Why you here?
I'm here because
fuckin' ghost set me up.
I'm in a hotel room
with fuckin' lobos
and a bag full of dough.
Next minute, i'm doin'
a fuckin' perp walk,
no ghost in sight.
I'm at my pretrial shit,
my lawyer's like,
"blah blah blah, evidence
is wrong."
Judge says
they gotta let me go,
so i come straight here
Because i know
it's fuckin' ghost
that dimed me out.
Ghost did that
same shit to me.
Set me up.
Put me in 10 years
so he could run the hustle
his way.
Yeah, but ghost wasn't there
the night you got popped.
Ghost took the bulb
out the taillight
So i get pulled over
with the weight.
The anonymous tip
came from a woman-- tasha.
Tasha?
Really?
Why didn't you
tell me, man?
I thought you
might've been in on it.
I know you ain't now.
Lobos is still in lockup,
but that ain't gonna stop him
from movin' weight.
Now, i can't run with
that motherfucker by myself.
I need you, k.
No doubt.
And now that i know how
ghost treats his friends,
I'm thinkin' it might
be better to be his enemy
While he's still
walkin' around.
You know what i mean?
Yeah, motherfucker
fallen off, man.
I should've known.
Couldn't even take care
of that bitch in miami.
I mean, a bitch.
He didn't kill
that girl in miami?
Seems like this motherfucker
been lyin' to you
for a long time.
I wonder what else
you don't know.
Come on,
let's head to the back,
Talk about how
we gonna step to lobos.
Hey, ghost still think
you trust him.
Yep.
I think i just figured out
how we gonna lay this
motherfucker down.
Tommy came over
for breakfast this morning.
You got him out...
Just like
you said you would.
That's the ghost
i used to know.
Now you know why
i needed angela alive.
You were right, t,
to tell me to stay with
her until i had a plan.
Tommy told me
what you did to her
to get him out.
Said she could
lose her job.
So is it over...
Between you two?
Is it over
between you and shawn?
Yeah, i knew.
He told me himself
When he came last night
to kill me.
What?
Kanan put the gun in his hand,
but you know the real reason
He wanted me
out of the way, right?
[ sighs ]
I used angela
to protect our family.
You fuckin' that kid
could've destroyed it.
What would you
and the kids do
If shawn had pulled
that trigger?
What did you do
to him, ghost?
I told him
to leave new york
and never come back.
So you just let him
walk away, just like that?
I don't blame him!
I blame you.
You and kanan.
Oh, and, t.
I'm sure you'll
hear from shawn
soon as he's set up.
But you know then
you got an important
decision to make.
I mean, you can stay here
with the kids
Or you can go live off
the salary of a high school
basketball coach.
Fuck you, ghost.
You need to look around.
There's no winners here.
Just me and you, baby.
Both of us.
Alone.
[ speaking serbian ]
[ gunshot ]
oh!
Saxe:
The doj would love
to spare the taxpayers
The expense of a trial.
If you're willing
to take a deal,
We can make certain...
Considerations.
Protective custody,
for example.
[ speaks spanish ]
your client doesn't
speak english now?
He went to wharton
business school.
Mm, qué?
[ speaking spanish ]
Wendrif menkins...
Vladimir jankovic...
[ sighs ]
Can i go back
to my cell now?
Told kanan i was
down to kill you.
He definitely thinks
you set him up.
He said tasha
was in on it, too.
He's out of his
goddamn mind.
You know, prison
does that to you.
Friends turn
into enemies.
No doubt.
Funny thing is,
He said you didn't kill
that bitch down in miami.
Someone else did.
It's true.
I got to her a second
after she was stabbed.
I talked to her,
but, no, i didn't
get the kill.
So you lied to my face.
Tommy, i wanted to tell you,
but you were so deep
under kanan's sway.
I ain't never given you
a reason not to trust me,
ghost.
Except that one time.
You know, the one where
you forgot to mention
That holly talked
to the feds?
You had your reasons,
tommy, for not telling me.
Don't make it
any less true, right?
Right?
Well, now you know
everything.
Do i?
Is there anything else
that i need to know?
Tommy, i burned angela
to get you out of jail.
What else i gotta do
to prove my loyalty to you?
You know what
she meant to me.
It's you and me, tommy,
just like it's always been.
I'll get kanan
to the spot.
After our last conversation,
my client generously agreed
To raise our settlement
offer half a percent.
You're joking.
I recommended a quarter percent,
but mr. Stern insisted.
Baby, i just
want you to be happy.
Happy? Without
the park avenue apartment
Or the house in long island
or the house in florida?
Have you thought
about hoboken?
Oh, i've thought
about a lot of things,
Mainly how you would look
in a prison uniform.
Prison?
Lawyer: Embezzlement.
It's only club fed,
but they still make you
wear the jumpsuit.
I'm sure you know
that my husband has
hidden assets offshore.
I'm sure you
helped him do it.
But you know where
those assets came from?
Embezzling money
from his own clubs.
Two sets of books,
two sets of cost reports,
two sets of everything.
We found ravenna holdings,
mr. Stern.
Simon, don't admit
to anything--
If she wanted me
in jail, she'd have gone
to the feds already.
What do you want,
madeline?
Bravo, james.
The robbery was a ruse
Just so you could get
your hands on the books.
Kantos told you,
i take it?
He didn't have to.
I can add.
I brought the club
to 20% profit, simon.
But the numbers didn't show it
because you were hiding
something.
All i had to do
was find proof.
And give it to madeline
so she could ruin me.
You won't enjoy
working for her, james.
She's a tremendous bitch.
So are you, darling.
You have the papers
for me to sign, james?
Oh, let me guess.
You bought truth
back from her.
And verbatim and syrup.
See, i think it's time
for me to expand.
Take care
of yourself, james.
You, too.
It was a pleasure
doing business
with you both.
This isn't over, james.
Yes, simon, it is.
But you were right
about one thing.
Because of you,
I'm now exactly the man
i always wanted to be.
[ chattering ]
Ghost: Angie!
[ sighs ]
angela. Angie.
Go away.
I don't want
to talk to you.
Look, look.
Stop, stop, angie.
I made a deal
with madeline stern
to beat simon,
Get truth back
plus two more clubs.
Fully legit.
So you're totally clean?
I will be.
[ scoffs ]
god.
What i'm saying is
everything that i said
Would happen
is gonna come true.
Everything you ever
told me was a lie.
The problem is
it was a really good lie.
[ elevator dings ]
I could've burned you
yesterday.
But i thought about you
losing your kids.
I thought about you,
so i didn't do it.
I hurt someone else
instead.
He deserved better from me,
i deserve better from you.
[ keys jingling ]
You still
love me, angie.
My career is over
because of you!
Just like you worked
to get those clubs,
I worked to get
where i am.
Where i was.
I know this
never occurred to you,
but it's not just me.
It's my father in the home.
It's my nephew in college.
It's my sister.
My family depends on me.
And when isabel ruiz
gives her statement at my
bar hearing tomorrow,
Everything i worked for
goes down the drain.
But congratulations
to you, jamie.
Looks like you got
everything you wanted.
Now go away
and leave me alone.
Can you do
that one thing for me?
Can you leave me
the fuck alone?
Thank you.
[ elevator dings ]
Goodbye, ghost.
Okay, we all good.
I talked to lobos
and he wants to deal.
Nah, ghost don't suspect
a fuckin' thing.
Hey, i'll talk to you later.
I gotta go.
[ barking ]
Bell!
Hi.
[ dog whining ]
Tommy.
I'll give you
a head start.
'cause when i catch you,
it ain't gonna be good.
Ghost sent me away.
I didn't want to leave you.
He made me go.
You better step
your lying,
Gold-digging,
snitching ass off
Or i will choke you out
in front of god and everybody.
Look in the bag.
I can prove i'm telling
the truth about ghost.
Ask him about
monica moore.
I love you, tommy.
[ whimpers ]
bell, let's go.
[ chatter ]
[ speaks spanish ]
[ music thumping ]
[ chatter ]
[ camera shutters
clicking ]
Wait here.
[ hammer clicks ]
Welcome to truth.
Your boy already
wanded me, man.
I ain't packin'.
Are you just gonna
shoot me right here, man?
I'm not here
to kill you, man.
That was you in miami,
wasn't it?
In the alleyway?
Got to the girl
before i did.
I killed her
because kanan told me to.
But i'm not taking orders
from him no more, man.
He's fucked up in the head.
Tell me something
i don't know.
Shawn came to see you
the other night.
And after you sent him away,
he came to the shack.
Kanan shot him.
He told me to dump the body
so nobody could find it.
Fuck.
That was it for me, man.
Ghost, you know
i'm a father, man.
If he could do that
to his own son, what you
think he's gonna do to me?
It's exactly the same thing
i should do to you for
workin' with him.
[ breathing heavily ]
You wanna work
with me, huh?
What more
i gotta prove, man?
[ horns honk
in distance ]
He bought it.
Ghost thinks i'm
on his side now.
What about tommy?
[ scoffs ]
Motherfucker don't
suspect a thing, man.
Ghost think he got
that white boy in pocket
like he always does.
Good.
Tommy'll bring him
to the spot.
We'll take him out
just like they did breeze
back in the day.
You'll get rid of the body.
We'll have
the whole crew meet,
Tell 'em how everything
gonna roll with lobos.
So i ain't comin'
to the meeting?
Sure, we'll still be there
when you get back.
[ scoffs ]
I need you to reach out
to the serb, ruiz, and drifty,
And explain to 'em
tommy on our side now.
Ghost did him
just like he did me.
Greedy motherfucker
don't know how to treat
a friend.
[ lighter clicks ]
This shit is good.
[ speaking spanish ]
[ keys jingling ]
Ghost: Víbora.
Vibora: Ghost?
You heard tommy
got knocked?
I heard he got out.
But lobos
is still inside.
Since tommy
didn't spill,
The feds will need
a witness against him.
So, i've done the math.
Lobos' best play
is to eliminate anyone
who can talk.
Ruiz, the others
have only heard his name,
But you and i,
we've seen his face.
[ speaks spanish ]
You want me
to leave new york?
Not just us,
our families, too.
Lobos goes
scorched earth.
I'm telling you,
i need you to go
into hiding
So that nobody,
especially lobos,
will ever find you.
[ classical music playing ]
[ pounds on door ]
Guard:
Food's here.
[ groaning ]
The defendant,
angela valdes,
Is charged with the violation
of new york state unified
court system's
Rule of professional
conduct 4.4a,
Obtaining evidence
that violates the rights
of a third party,
In this case a minor,
isabel ruiz.
The new york state bar
is also seeking grounds
for disbarment.
At minimum, a censure
against ms. Valdes on
her permanent record.
I have reviewed
all the exhibits
submitted into evidence
And i'm inclined to hear
the testimony of the witness,
Miss isabel ruiz,
before hearing any other
arguments from counsel.
Ahem.
There has been a, um--
a change in the availability
Of the witnesses,
your honor.
Miss ruiz did not
appear this morning
And calls to her home
have not been returned.
Automated voice:
You've reached...
Isabel's voice: Isabel.
Automated voice:
I'm sorry, the inbox you are
trying to reach is full.
Ah, isabel ruiz
didn't show up, did she?
How do you know that?
[ scoffs ]
you got off scot-free.
What's going on?
Oh, right, yeah,
you were suspended.
So temporarily.
Lobos was stabbed
in his cell this morning.
Most of his network's
been eliminated in
the past 36 hours.
Ruiz and his whole family
boarded a plane to california.
We lost track of them
after they landed.
They could be
anywhere by now.
Any other bodies?
Egan?
No, just drifty,
vladimir, and lobos,
Each with a spider
loteria card left nearby.
The jimenez.
Looks like they finally
caught up to lobos.
Looks like it.
He's in surgery right now.
Is he gonna make it?
It's anybody's guess.
[ line ringing ]
Pick up.
Come on, pick up.
Automated voice:
You've reached 347-555-0156.
Please leave a message.
[ beeps ]
jamie, call me back.
Yo, tommy.
Tommy?
[ door rattling ]
Can't get out
that way, kanan.
I said it myself--
tight like a pair of balls.
[ hammer clicks ]
Where tommy?
He got a gun, too?
He ain't here.
That wasn't part
of the plan, was it?
Why he ain't show?
This how it's gonna go?
You just gonna
shoot me unarmed
like a little bitch?
Unarmed, huh?
What the fuck is this?
This the gun you used
to kill your own son?
He wasn't
my son no more.
He was your son.
[ groans ]
[ grunting ]
[ shouting ]
[ grunts ]
[ electricity buzzing ]
Put the fuckin'
wrench down.
[ wrench clangs ]
[ clicks ]
I'll do you just like
you did rolla.
Only you deserve it.
[ grunting ]
[ gasping ]
10 years locked up,
i thought about killing you
a hundred different ways.
Put a gun in your mouth
and watch your brains hit
the walls in your club.
I made you
watch me fuck tasha.
I pushed you off the roof
of your bougie-ass crib.
I seen you dead
so many times,
I was worried i wouldn't
enjoy it when i finally
got my chance.
Boy, was i wrong.
Whoa, this is even better
than i thought.
[ grunts ]
[ gasps, panting ]
[ wheezing, coughing ]
You always talked
too fuckin' much.
[ lighter clicks ]
[ door opens, closes ]
[ liquid pours ]
[ groans ]
Kanan's dead, huh?
Yeah, i figured
it'd shake out that way.
I gave you the drop.
Where the fuck were you?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I could've been killed.
I was hangin' out
with her.
You can't trust her.
No, i can't trust you.
You paid her to leave.
She's trouble, man.
Just like kanan
was trouble back
in the day?
Like i was trouble
when i wouldn't help you
kill lobos?
You think i'm fuckin'
stupid, don't you?
Just like kanan did.
I don't think
you're fuckin' stupid.
You know what?
Maybe i am fuckin' stupid.
Because i thought
this was some sort of
midlife crisis shit--
Fuck your bitch
from high school,
Play "what if,"
and move on.
And i thought when you
got me out of jail
and burned angela
That you were still
the same old ghost
Underneath all
the bullshit,
my brother.
But my brother's gone.
So i'm gonna do
your lyin' ass a favor
and take over.
I'ma distribute
for lobos from now on
With ruiz, the serb,
and drift,
And leave you to your
precious party planning,
all right, motherfucker?
Tommy, come--
no, i'm gonna
buy you out.
Just do me one favor
and stay the fuck
outta my business.
There is
no more business.
[ laughs ]
The fuck
does that mean?
They all knew
our names, tommy.
They knew our faces.
Keeping them alive
was too risky.
The only way out
was to cut all ties.
Ain't nobody left.
So when i was
hittin' them up
And they was writin' back,
That was you trickin' me?
So you could kill them
without telling me first?
Whoo.
They were disloyal
to us, tommy.
All of 'em.
They all
deserved to die.
They was trouble, huh?
[ hammer clicks ]
So, what, ghost,
am i next?
Tommy, don't do this.
You got everything
you wanted.
What about what i want?
We got a business.
We got a legitimate
fuckin' business.
One more time
with that fucking shit.
That's your business.
This is my business.
It's the only thing
i was ever good at.
Fuck that.
You're great at it.
But i got more to offer.
You motherfucker.
No matter how much
your suits cost
Or how many clubs
you ever own,
You just
a ghetto-ass corner boy
from around the way
With a drunk for a daddy
and no mama.
Motherfucker.
You ain't
changed at all.
So do it, motherfucker.
Go on, do it.
Prove to me that you
ain't nothin' but a thug.
Go on, do it!
[ hammer clicks ]
Put the gun down.
You already
got yourself a new bitch?
Now.
You think
you traded up, kid?
Word of advice--
watch your back.
Have a nice life,
motherfucker.
[ door opens, closes ]
[ knock on door ]
[ sighs ]
[ sighs ]
What the hell
happened to you?
It was
a long night, angela.
How was your hearing?
Isabel ruiz
didn't show up.
But i think
you know that.
I came to tell you lobos'
whole new york syndicate
is dead or missing,
But i think you might
know that, too.
I heard.
How did you
survive this, jamie?
Why are you
the only one left?
If i accept what you are
and i love you anyway,
What does that make me?
If i care about
all of the things
you've done to get here,
I should walk out of here
right now and never come back.
You know what
you should do?
You should call
the bar committee
and accept the censure, too.
I should call my boss,
make a full confession,
put you in cuffs.
But when i thought
you were dead, i--
I didn't-- i couldn't care
about any of that.
I can't get over you,
But i can't be
with you, either.
I can't be with ghost.
Angela, there is
no more ghost.
Ghost is dead.
Forever?
After tonight,
ghost is gone for good.
But james st. Patrick is real,
standing right in front of you.
And very much
in love with you.
[ inhales sharply ]
[ distant sirens wailing ]
I'm right here.
I have my kids,
i have the clubs,
And everything
we ever wanted
can happen now.
[ sighs ]
And if i walk away now,
i'm just gonna be
standing back here
A week from now,
a month, a year.
[ soft laugh ]
If, from this
point forward,
You can be everything
you said you would be...
I can't promise i can
forget everything, jamie,
But i can try.
Girl, i still can't believe
that shawn didn't say goodbye.
It's just not like him.
I mean,
if he was in trouble,
he could've just come to me.
That's what we always
promised each other.
Maybe he decided
he wasn't ready to be
a daddy to three kids.
I kinda understand
why he wouldn't say goodbye.
You don't know
that's the reason.
[ phone buzzing ]
This could be him now.
Hello?
Yes?
This is
tasha st. Patrick.
[ r&b music playing ]

¶ early this morning ¶
¶ when you knocked

You sure i can't

You don't know

And it's pretty dark

If i call 9-1-1 right now,
you'll get arrested.
You'll be fired.
You don't have
a signal down here.
I just-- i just wanted
to tell you in person
What an amazing lawyer
i think you are, really.
After all this time,
i'm just--
I gotta say,
i'm impressed.
Even i couldn't defend
the case you laid out
against me.
And i lived it.
Everything you told them
was a lie.
If you're not stalking me,
what are you doing here?
[ thuds ]
You burned me
to protect st. Patrick.
You fucking sold me out!
Because, you know,
you're boyfriend's dirty.
You know he's ghost,
right?
He's going down, angela,
and i swear to god...
You're going down with him.
[ door opens, closes ]
This is my fault,
'keisha.
No, it's not.
You didn't pull
the trigger.
But i know who did.
Verbatim is not

But i would like

You ready, girl?
Go get it!
Looks like she needs
a little help.
I'm gonna make sure
she finds it.
Yeah, she's a little
retarded.
You're fucking with
the wrong motherfucker, man.
You have
an important call.
Who the fuck is this?
Thomas?
How is the girl, hmm?
A-and the dog?
Look, jefe,
I didn't say shit about you
to any-fucking-body.
I believe that you
were not aware
Of ghost's plan
to compromise us.
You would never
sign up for that.
But you sent
this motherfucker here
to kill me anyway.
No.
I want us
to work together.
Music to my ears.
But first i need you
to do something for me.
Kill ghost.
I know this will be
difficult for you,
So i'm going to make it
a very simple choice.
Kill fantasma and become
my sole distributor
Or i will kill
the both of you
And the girl.
And the dog.

three years, but plumbing's
still up to code.
Come take a look
at the south door.
Why would somebody break
in here to start a fire?
[ sighs ]
The tool mark's
on the wrong side
of the door.
Nobody broke in here.
Somebody broke out.

i ain't do no wrong ¶
¶ she said,
"you mommy little man?"
i said, "yep, uh-huh" ¶
