Power (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - In My Best Interest - full transcript
Knox discovers the lethal truth about the mole, Tommy runs a dangerous game against Milan, and Ghost faces a brand new threat to his family.
Previously on POWER...
What did Ghost really take away
from you?
I know that Dre told you
not to hang out with me,
But Dre be talking out both
sides of his mouth.
I see potential in you,
my friend... you could replace me.
What's this?
- Belongs to Lobos's guy.
Whoever the leak is
at your office
was calling him
on that phone.
We can't be together,
Angie.
It's the right decision.
Greg?
I guess I'm used to people
disappearing in the middle
of the night.
I'm right here.
State-of-the-art
FBI button recorder.
It's gonna record anything
within a 20-foot radius.
Knox wants to make sure
you're mentioned on the tape.
I cannot be mentioned,
not once.
Neither Tommy nor I
can be incriminated
in any way,
or the deal is off.
Ghost just told me
he's gonna take out Milan.
He's using Ruiz to do it.
I know you had
a plan with Ruiz.
Ruiz told me about it,
right before I stabbed him.
Tommy, where's the body?
- It's under the fuckin' L.I.E.
where I left it.
If we're gonna do this,
kill Milan, I call the shots.

a big, rich town ♫

♫ I never took

Come on, Ruiz,
where the fuck are you?
Shit.
Greg Knox.
What?
Where?
Sorry, sir, this is
an active police crime scene.
I don't think you have
jurisdiction.
Move the fuck away from me.
Hey, it's all right,
it's all right,
let him through.
This asshole's the reason
we're out here freezing
our ball sacks off.
Ran Ruiz's file.
Said he turned
federal witness.
Who the hell was he
gonna snitch out?
Felipe Lobos cartel.
Jesus. Man, he should've
been in WITSEC...
shopping for Wranglers
in "Bumfuckistan," Nebraska,
somewhere.
Yeah, but we were all out
of tickets to "Bumfuckistan."
His deal got pulled.
I had to kick him.
WITSEC wasn't an option.
I did officially everything
I could do.
You mind?
Be my guest.
Tell you what, you better
officially pray
to whatever God you pissed
off this doesn't leak
or you'll never see
another CI again.
Hey, look,
you seen enough?
I gotta start cleaning up
your shit show.
Yeah, I think I got all I need.
Thanks.
Feds.
Fuckin' idiots.
What do you want, Jamie?
Is there an indictment coming
against me or Tommy
for the murder
of Felipe Lobos?
Are you serious?
Something about Ruiz
making up lies about me
to make a deal
with your people?
I haven't heard anything
about anything like that.
We had to burn Ruiz
because Lobos died.
He lost his deal.
I don't think anyone's
been in contact
with him since.
Why are you asking me
this now?
Because I don't trust
that you would tell me, Angela.
You don't trust me?
I'll protect you because
it's in my own best interest.
You can trust that.
I'll ask about Ruiz,
I'll let you know
what I find out.
Good-bye, Jamie.
♫
♫
I...
Habla Inglés?
Hi, uh, yeah,
this is FBI Special Agent
Gregory Knox.
I, uh, wanted... to speak
with the agent who gave
Miguel Sandoval a tip
of a Felipe Lobos
meeting in Manhattan
a little while back.
I just wanted
to get to the source
of the information.
Yeah, I think maybe a...
Agent Rivera.
No, I know.
There must be
a million Agent Riveras.
If you could just find out,
get back to me
as soon as possible,
that would be...
Yeah, yeah, great,
that's my number.
Okay.
♫
♫
♫
When were you gonna
tell me about Ruiz?
Jerry, I know
this looks bad.
- I'm in Davis's office
defending you,
and then I come to find out you
were already at the crime scene.
I checked my phone,
no call from you.
I went straight there
when I found out.
I... yes, I should've called you.
I, I see that now.
Davis thinks that
this is your fault,
and I don't disagree.
Okay, whether or not
that you had to kick Ruiz,
if his murder was a retaliation
to him turning witness,
then your career and mine is
fucked with ten dicks running.
If you've been running Ruiz
off the books,
you better have
something great.
May be the only thing
that saves us both.
Hey. Hey, man, um...
yeah, uh, can we meet up
at your place?
Yeah, uh, it's urgent.
So, you don't know
what's on the tape?
Well, I'm not sure, but unless
the recording time ran out,
Tommy killed Ruiz.
Ohh. Shit, man.
Now we got a conflict
of interest.
I'm still Tommy's lawyer.
Proctor, don't give me
that shit.
I pay you.
Yeah, but I'm
on the court record for him,
and that tape is evidence that
could help send him to jail,
evidence that you
helped fabricate.
The conversations on that tape,
Proctor,
could implicate me
in multiple felonies,
so Tommy's best interest is
in my best interest!
Are you even sure Knox
has the device?
I mean, I can't be sure
of anything,
and Angela claims...
because I asked her...
to not know
of any pending indictment.
You know how I feel about you
trusting AUSA Valdez.
She's your girlfriend,
I... but...
What she is is no longer
my girlfriend anymore, okay?
She's back with Agent Knox.
So you fucked that up too?
You know, maybe you could just
start a group text
to keep us all informed
of your fuck-ups,
you know?
Okay.
If that recording surfaces
I'll get it excluded,
since it's totally illegal,
but...
once it's played
in open court,
Tommy's eventually going to jail
for doing Ruiz.
The cops, they'll create
the evidence to convict him.
And if you're on there...
you're going down.
♫
You aren't actually gonna
eat that, are you?
Oh, trust me,
I've eaten worse.
Now that we're free of Lobos,
I gotta work
on everything else
that's been piling up
on my desk.
I got about... pffft...
ten witnesses to prep
before court tomorrow.
Speaking of witnesses,
what ever happened to Ruiz?
That was it.
No Lobos, no deal.
I guess none of that
matters now.
What? Why?
You didn't hear?
The great Vibora Ruiz slithered
to the other side overnight.
What?
Found him in a stolen car
in Long Island City.
No witnesses, no evidence,
nothin'.
Want a bite?
I'm good, thanks.
Just the tip?
You could say "I told you so"
about the Douchebag Twins.
Oh, can I?
Okay, well, I told you so.
I just can't believe
that they'd be selling drugs
in their own nightclub.
Aside from that, everything
should be as you remember it.
Mostly everything.
Thank you for your payment
in full, by the way.
Oh, my pleasure.
Sorry about the mix-up
before.
Daddy and I are excited
about your party.
- Yeah?
- If everything goes well,
we'll be hosting an event
tomorrow
- to celebrate our partnership.
- I like the sound of that.
And to you two seeing
the best of Truth.
To Truth going global.
Mm.
I'm glad we partnered up.
So am I.
Good-bye, Karen.
I don't need an escort.
Thanks.
I'm not your escort.
I'm your babysitter.
He's here.
I know.
You may leave us.
Go play with the other
little boys.
I have some bad news.
We cannot kill Ghost.
Why not? I thought you were
sharpening these for him.
We cannot kill Ghost yet.
We need him for the black tie
party at Truth to be a success,
and once it is and
the hotel expansion contract
with the Bassetts is signed,
then "Ghost" can indeed become
James St. Patrick's
rightful name.
If we kill Ghost,
won't the Bassett deal
be off the table?
I've observed Karen Bassett's
interactions with Andre.
She has quite a fondness
for him.
- Yeah, I-I can't
understand why.
I said the same of you once.
Sometimes men can
surprise you.
Look at you,
finding your true potential,
while Petar seems to be
losing sight of his.
His sulking
has become tiresome.
But regardless,
I have no doubt
the deal will still
remain in place,
and when the time comes
for Ghost to die,
I want you to pull the trigger,
Tommy.
♫
♫
I understand you have
an issue about the direction
I'm taking my organization.
More like a lack
of understanding of you
and this product that you're
trying to move on the streets.
All right,
that's Vibora Ruiz.
late head of Soldados.
Philosophy behind switching to
the southern coast... why?
Coke is trying
to do us straight.
The fiend is not discerning,
nor is he a loyal customer.
He will buy...
That has to be Milan.
That's Milan.
We're all in this
to make money, correct?
So, you put a wire on a CI
you were running
under the table?
No papers?
Something like that,
yeah.
I thought I taught you
better than that.
Come on.
You're telling me
you guys at Homeland
don't do this shit
all the time?
Oh, of course we do,
but when we do it it's to stop
a terrorist from blowing up
the Central Park Zoo.
I came to you
because I thought
you out of all people
would understand.
I understand
you're crazy.
Hey... this is good.
We all
one big happy family now?
All right, that's... that's...
that's Tommy Egan.
Who's that?
Business partner of the guy
I was trying to get
in the first place...
James St. Patrick.
♫
Greg, are you here?
How did it go with MJ?
I called you,
you didn't pick up.
♫
♫
You know what it's like
to be betrayed, Ruiz.
That's what doing Lobos
was about.
- It's been a long night.
- Hold on.
I say we leave it alone,
huh?
Did you hear that?
Me and Ghost
killed Lobos to start over,
but it was never about that.
He just admitted that he
and St. Patrick killed Lobos.
There's nothing that ties that
to St. Patrick.
No one identifies him
by name.
If he did it, she did it,
Angela Valdes.
Your ex-girlfriend,
the one with the sister?
Yeah.
She's the leak
from the department?
She and St. Patrick
were together.
If he and Egan knew
the route of the Lobos transfer,
it's because she told them.
You can't prove any of that.
She's not on this tape either.
Wait, shut up, shut up.
You're gonna regret this.
No, I won't,
'cause I ain't do this to you.
Ghost did.
- Egan killed him.
Fucking Christ on the cross,
he killed him.
Admitting to the Lobos kill,
Ruiz's murder?
That's it, baby,
that's everything.
I got everything!
You've got nothing.
This recording doesn't exist,
remember?
That is a dying declaration
from Ruiz.
Yeah, from Ruiz, a CI you were
running unofficially,
put in grave danger,
and got him killed.
Now... you can take
these recordings to court
and try and nail these fuckers,
but you'll get roasted on cross
and you'll end up sucking dick
in prison right next to them.
Unless, I can get
one of them to flip.
What did I teach you
in class?
Who has the most to lose...
and who do I want more?
I'll be pulling up
at Truth in five minutes.
I'll see you on the inside,
Dominique.
All right, boss.
Don't forget we have VIP...
- I gotta go.
- Okay, bye.
Agent Knox.
Good evening.
Would you step out of the car,
please?
I'm clean, man.
I said I'm clean!
Turn.
And forgive me for not taking
your word for it, I'm sorry.
It's just you left quite a few
holes in Felipe Lobos.
Forgive me for not knowing
what you're talking about.
Cut the shit.
I know Tommy Egan
killed Ruiz,
and I know the two of you
killed Lobos together.
Didn't do it alone though,
did you?
Angela was
your inside man.
Give her up,
I'll get you a deal.
If you had anything on me,
I'd be in the back
of your little car by now.
You can threaten me,
you can lie to me, rough me up.
I'm not giving you
a single reason to bring me in.
All right.
You've got the most to lose
in this situation.
You know that.
You got your family,
you got your club,
you got your reputation.
It's all still clean.
There's no real proof
that you're dirty.
There's no real proof
that you're Ghost.
Because I'm not.
- Right, right, right,
except Angela.
She knows what you want.
That's why she came back to me
to pick up the pieces.
That's why she let me in.
She loved you and you
went back to your wife.
If I give her
the opportunity,
I'm pretty damn sure she's gonna
burn your ass, like she did me.
If you think Angela is guilty
of murder, you're wrong.
I wonder if she's gonna say
the same thing about you.
Come on, man,
come on, come on.
Hey, Mike?
Hey, Mike, can you meet up
at my place right now?
Yeah, we need to talk.
It's about Lobos.
You're late.
Driving while black.
Black man driving
a Escalade.
Guy probably thought
you was an Uber.
Was you clean?
As a whistle.
They ain't see shit,
I ain't say shit.
So it ain't shit.
I just met up with Milan.
He's looking to kill you
right after your big-ass party.
He wants that signature
from that Karen,
your side bitch.
I told you, I ain't fuckin' her.
She's just business.
Yeah, whatever.
Once she signs that contract,
he gonna take you out.
Somethin' about
she likes Dre?
That's true, she does.
Well, that's crazy.
We gonna have to move
during that party
while his guard is down.
Yeah, but I don't know
how can manage that.
Karen's gonna be there,
her father, all, all the guests.
Well, you better
fuckin' figure it out,
'cause we ain't gonna get
a better shot.
Thanks.
What's going on? You sounded
pretty worked up on the phone.
Angela's the leak.
I know it,
but I can't prove it.
Start at the beginning.
Right, okay, um...
I got a piece of evidence.
It's not gonna be admissible,
though.
I-I drew a little bit outside
of the lines to...
It's not gonna be admissible,
then it doesn't count.
I know, yeah, just listen,
okay?
I can link her
to the Lobos murder plot.
I fuckin' knew it all along,
and no one fuckin' believed me,
and that's fine,
but if...
Shit, let me get rid of this.
One sec, okay? Sorry.
One... one sec.
- Hello?
- Is this
Agent Gregory Knox?
This is the Mexican Federal
Police returning your call.
Uh, listen, just s... forget
I called. It's not...
Well, actually,
we can't seem to find
any record of a tip being made
recently to Miguel Sandoval
in regard
to Felipe Lobos's whereabouts.
The Agent Rivera
in that department,
uh, died a year ago.
That's all the information
we have at this time.
Okay, thank you.
Appreciate your call.
Everything all right?
Yeah, of course.
Where was I?
Angela's the leak.
Right.
Yeah.
She's the leak.
Beer? You want a beer
or something? You good?
- Sure.
- Yeah? Okay.
According to the Federales,
Lobos plans to meet
with his distributor Tommy Egan
at a warehouse
on 11th Avenue.
The last thing
our department needs
is a wild, unformulated
accusation about a leak.
♫
I have to tell you,
I suspected Angela all along.
She has access
to everything.
That's what I been saying.
Here you are.
Thanks.
- Cheers.
- Mm.
Yeah, it's just...
mm, yeah.
It's just the GPS tracker
on Lobos...
She obviously told
the assailants where to find it.
You said you saw them
go right for it.
Well, they did,
except she wasn't
in your office
when we discussed it.
It was just...
Anglin, Donovan, me, and you.
Who was that on the phone,
Greg?
Oh, Federales.
You know that tip you got
about the meeting
where we arrested Lobos?
Never happened, Mike.
They've never heard of you.
They're disorganized.
I saw you
outside Hugo Sanchez's building.
I was trying to solve
this case.
You were covering your tracks,
weren't you?
Agents are dead.
I almost fucking died
because of you.
They threatened my family.
I had no choice.
We always have a choice.
Look, Greg...
Angela's dirty.
You know it and I know it.
St. Patrick, Egan,
the sketch,
what she did
to your career.
She should already be
in prison.
If we can offer her to MJ...
You mean frame her.
If we take her down
as the leak,
we could finally collar
St. Patrick and Egan
as Lobos's distributors.
It's what you said.
If Angela's the leak, it means
you were right about everything.
The allegations she made
against you,
everyone who doubted you
and said that you were crazy...
It all goes away.
You're a hero.
You said you have
a piece of evidence?
We can use it.
I'll get around
the admissibility problem,
whatever it is.
We can make this work.
You're right, she's dirty.
But on this one
she's clean.
I'm so sorry, Mike.
I gotta take you in.
Hey, Mike,
hey, hey, hey, take it easy.
It's fine.
Just put the gun down,
we'll talk about it.
- I can't do that, Greg.
I'm gonna help you,
all right?
We're gonna... you're gonna
get a deal.
You're a good guy.
I just need you
to put the gun down.
If you pull that trigger,
it means you're no better
than Lobos.
If you pull that trigger,
it means one day
your beautiful
little daughter,
she's gonna know
that her daddy's a murderer.
♫
♫
Saxe.
Oh, God,
they called you too.
Who called me?
What are you talking about?
Jerry, what's going on?
Bad day, Angela.
I'm sorry.
- You shouldn't go in there.
- Oh, my God.
What?
Watch your back.
I don't understand.
What happened to Greg?
I don't understand.
What happened?
I...
Wh...
It's like with girls.
No just mean "Not right now."
It's like, say you talk
to a girl and she tell you no.
Then later you come back around,
you talk to her again,
she remember that first time
she told you no.
So she say, "You been liking me
for all of this time."
Maybe now I give him
some booty.
Word?
That's the way it is.
What happened to your hand?
Oh.
That's a long story.
I-I should get to school.
Told my mom I was
with Calvin.
Nah, nah.
I need you to take this
to my man Ray Ray.
Give to him and bring back
what he gives you.
What is it?
Never mind.
I'll do it my fuckin' self, man.
I thought you knew better
than to ask some shit like that.
It's all right.
You just ain't ready.
No, no.
I'm gonna do it.
Where's Ray Ray At?
Why'd you come in so late
last night?
Went to see Angela?
Angela and I ain't talkin' much
these days.
But I did see Tommy.
He killed Ruiz for being
a traitor to Milan.
Uh, did Tommy say
how he figured that out?
Oh, he said Ruiz told him
right before he killed him.
He knew that was my only way out
and he shut it down!
Well, Tommy doesn't want you
to get out.
Trust me, I know it,
but I thought at a base level
we were back on point, I mean,
after I helped him with Holly.
You know, I mean, after
everything we been through.
Tommy is changing,
and I don't think
it's for the better.
Help him with Holly?
Like how?
I'm gonna go make sure that
Raina remembers her tap things.
Baby girl, you got
them loud shoes?
I can't find them.
You lose 'em every week,
Raina.
Said you wanted to talk.
I came unarmed.
Now, we both know
that's bullshit.
You think you can kill me
and get away with it?
Tommy, you are more stupid
than I thought.
If I wanted you dead,
we wouldn't be talking.
Let me ask you something.
How'd it feel the other day
when Milan cock-slapped you
in front of the entire
Belgrade social club?
How does it feel to know
that after everything
you've done for him,
he shows me love over you?
That's what I thought.
Look, I got a plan that'll
make us both rich and happy,
but it means that I gotta
trust you
and you gotta trust me.
Are you down?
We'd like to have a word
with you all
about the late
Agent Greg Knox.
We found a burner cell
in Knox's apartment,
not attached to any case
he was working.
It's the phone that called Lobos
the day he went missing.
It's the phone that belonged
to someone in this office
that leaked
Lobos's location.
Add that to his obsession
with the case,
luring Ruiz back,
even while under suspension.
Looks like Greg Knox
was your leak.
- No.
- No way.
That doesn't make
any sense.
I don't believe that.
It doesn't matter
what you believe.
There was a leak in your office
right under your nose.
You and Donovan over here
should both lose your job.
Knox's killer was probably
a Lobos associate
tying up loose ends,
and there was no forced entry,
so unless he left
the window open,
he knew his killer
and let him in.
Greg never
left his windows unlocked.
Well, you would know.
I can assure you that
no one in this office
suspected Knox
of any wrongdoing.
At least his murder saves us
the cost of his prosecution.
This case is closed.
Come on, Lance, we got
a Delta shuttle to catch.
Sorry for your loss,
AUSA Valdez.
That phone wasn't the only piece
of random evidence
at Knox's apartment.
There was a dress
and a bracelet, a bra.
You two were back together,
huh?
Briefly.
After everything you put him
through?
I guess he just couldn't
shake ya.
It's amazing what a man'll do
for ya if he really loves you.
Good luck, girl.
You're gonna need it.
♫
Tash, you okay?
What's this big emergency?
The big emergency is
you killed Ruiz.
Ghost came to me
this morning
wondering why you stopped
his plan to get out.
He cannot know that I told you,
Tommy.
He's not gonna know that you
said nothing. It's handled.
You know, he's not wrong
about getting away from Milan.
Listen, Tash,
I got a plan
to get us all
out from under Milan.
You sound just like Ghost now.
He's always got a plan.
It's always about trusting him.
Yeah?
Well, trust me.
We... all play our parts right,
everyone will get
what they want,
as long as Milan...
and Ghost...
stay in the dark.
I am trusting you, Tommy.
Ghost can be a lying,
sometime-y motherfucker,
but he is still
the father of my kids,
and I need to protect him,
even from himself.
I'm protecting him too.
I always do.
This morning Ghost said
something about helping you...
with Holly.
What does he mean, Tommy?
Holly?
Nothing.
Nothing happened, T.
Stick to the plan.
You've got to be kidding me.
Why do we have to meet here?
Well, Angie, I was
in the neighborhood, and...
you always liked
the fries.
What did you do last night,
Jamie?
I thought we weren't
supposed to ask each other
those kind of questions.
What did you do last night?
I went to work...
the club.
Did you have a nice night
with Agent Knox?
I didn't see him
last night.
Well, I did.
He pulled me over.
He didn't tell you?
He came out accusing me
of killing Lobos,
which I told you
he would do.
What did you tell him?
I told him he had no proof,
Angie,
that if he had proof,
he would've arrested me.
He tried to get me to say
that you were the leak.
I told him you were
innocent.
Oh, my God.
So does that mean that you
now believe me?
I don't know
what to believe.
Angie, I told you that I needed
to protect you from Greg.
I'd do anything
to protect you.
I agreed to meet with you
because the leak case
was closed.
They found that person,
so I'm in the clear.
And you and me,
we're done.
Angie, that's a lie.
You still love me
and I still love you.
Good-bye, Jamie.
Yo, you Ray Ray, right?
Here, I got this for you.
What the fuck you doing, man?
Not here, man.
Get yo' ass in there, nigga,
come on.
All right, nigga,
you got my shit?
Yeah.
That's nice.
All right,
hands against the wall.
- What?
- I said grab some wall!
You have the right
to remain silent.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A'ight.
Tariq St. Patrick.
Handed me these.
Hoo.
Where'd you get these?
These babies will put you
in juvenile detention
till your 18th birthday,
which I'm guessin'
is gonna take
several long years for you,
so you want to do yourself
a favor
and tell me who gave you
that shit?
You know rich, little mark-ass
bitches like you,
they fresh meat
up in Spofford.
You so fuckin' soft,
they gon' call you Ta-fleece.
You sure as shit
ain't no hustler, nigga.
Think about all the trouble
you're gonna get in...
the law, school,
your parents.
I know you don't want
all of that,
so I'm gonna give
you one last chance.
Tell me who gave you
these guns.
Speak, nigga!
Okay.
We're going in.
Your boy held tough.
He didn't say shit.
See, now, that's how you
handle shit, like a G.
- Yeah.
Little man.
A'ight.
♫
You okay, Valdes?
No.
In fact,
I don't know how...
I'm going to be okay.
You?
I thought I knew Greg,
you know?
He was such a...
true believer.
Hard to believe he was dirty.
And the fact that we'll
probably never catch
the guy who killed him
is pretty hard to take.
Yeah...
too hard to take.
Listen.
If you don't want to go home
alone tonight...
W...
Sometimes grief does
strange things to people.
Not that strange.
I'm here if you
change your mind.
♫
♫ But where I'm from
♫ It ain't hard
to pull the strap ♫
♫ 'Cause if a nigga want some
I got some ♫
♫ And I'ma serve the gas
till they done ♫
♫ So...
For real,
you shoulda seen your face.
"Hands on the wall!"
Ha! Yeah, whatever.
No whatever, nigga.
You turned white so fast,
Michael Jackson
would've been jealous.
Eh hee-hee!
You not from this neighborhood,
are you?
Nah, I'm from the city.
Not that it matters
anymore.
I don't never wanna go
back there.
My family just... they just
all fake, they're all liars.
I don't want shit from them
anymore, I can get my own stuff.
My dad can keep his money.
No doubt.
Not that it makes
a damn difference,
but, um,
if you had to guess...
how much money would you say
your pops is worth?
I don't know, a lot?
A lot?
What you got, Alfred answering
the front door or some shit?
No, we don't got a front door.
We got a elevator.
You got a elevator?
Juke, you got a minute?
I told you he was ready.
Yeah, he held up,
but why you lookin'
like you about to lift
that little nigga in the air
like The Lion King
or some shit?
Don't get attached.
Why you ain't tell me
Ghost is ballin' now?
Not just drug money,
nightclubs and shit.
That just slip your mind?
What difference does it make
anyway?
So... you got a rich man's kid
in your place.
You just ain't gonna do shit
with it?
I was gonna use him
to fuck with the parents
of his rich-ass friends,
break into their apartments
and shit.
I already turnt him out.
He gonna be down with us.
Yo, fuck that.
He is the hustle.
Ransom his ass.
You can get the money
and kill him anyway.
You are still plannin'
on killin' him, right?
The point was to break
his father.
This way you break him twice.
Once in the pocket,
once in the heart.
You get Ghost's money,
kill his kid,
you ride off
into the sunset.
Flawless fuckin' victory.
Right?
Right.
♫
- Ah.
- I have to hand it to you.
I'm quite confident,
by the end of the night, Karen,
I will earn our partnership.
No handouts here.
I hope you're right.
He's right, Daddy,
he's right.
Come on, let's take a walk.
Welcome to the party.
♫
♫
Okay, nigga, we here,
on time,
in these fuckin' monkey suits.
What's up?
All right, listen, we do it
like we talked about, a'ight?
- A'ight.
- It's just smooth as silk.
- No 'hood shit.
- Bet.
♫
Yo, nothin' pops off
in this club, y'all hear me?
- Got it.
- Got a lot of rich white people
here that ain't afraid
to call 911.
- Got it.
- So don't get jumpy.
I heard you, motherfucker,
we good.
- Let's get money.
- Let's get it.
♫
Man of the hour,
Mr. Rashad Jennings.
James, how you doing?
Good, man, everything
to your expectations, huh?
Oh, man, this is
above and beyond.
Let me let that add
to your night.
- Whoo.
- Only the best for the best.
Yeah!
Hey, man, you really
turned up the place tonight.
Let me tell the bartender
what to do for you.
You make sure you
take care of this man
and all his people,
all right?
When that's dead,
I got a whole crate upstairs.
Mr. St. Patrick.
Mr. Bassett.
We feel you are right.
You have earned it.
Sir.
♫
We'll get right to work.
I can't wait.
- To us.
- To us.
♫
Oh, Tasha.
Good to see you again.
What the fuck are you
doing here?
Oh, you know,
now it's our club too.
♫
Now that the paperwork is
signed, we have to talk.
I don't have a damn thing
to say to you.
♫ Yeah, we breakin'
♫ Breakin' necks
and we cashin' checks ♫
♫ So we breakin',
breakin' necks ♫
Oh, but we do.
♫ Like it's going
out of style ♫
You are completely deserted.
But, at least you picked
a nice suit
for your last night
on Earth.
I have you now.
No, I have you now.
Do exactly as I say.
Whatever your foolish plan is,
it won't work.
This time it was you
who failed to notice me.
Look around.
♫ I'm so so blessed
♫ Know nothin' 'bout no luck
♫ 'Bout to blow out
all the speakers ♫
♫ Everybody turn the fuck up
♫
Go ahead and try it, bitch.
You're alone.
Now, walk.
♫
♫ Breakin'
Breakin' necks ♫
♫ And we cash...
It's about damn time.
Tommy, after everything
I tried to teach you.
Get in the back, Chefe.
♫
Stop.
Right there.
So, this is it?
This is your revenge?
It's not personal, Milan.
Just business.
I underestimated you.
Nah, you underestimated us.
We could've killed you
in the club, Milan.
We wanted you to know that we
outsmarted you this time,
so you die here.
You learned.
Nighty night, Milan.
Rest easy.
I ain't gonna eat you.
♫
That worked, partner.
Yeah, just like
we thought it would.
If I'm gonna be the connect,
gotta get rid of the connect.
- Right?
- Right.
You were right, Ghost.
Gettin' rid of Milan gives us
both everything we want.
It's over.
It's over.
All right, then I'ma get back
to work, all right?
I got a club to run.
You watch your back.
You too, motherfuck.
Just spoke to Dre.
The men all played their parts.
Everyone's safe and sound
and drinking beers.
We should go.
We have to get the men started
on moving to new warehouse.
Yeah.
I'll give the order.
Did you tell Ghost
we're still going to sell drugs
in his clubs?
Nah, he'll know
soon enough.
Think he'll agree to that?
I won't give him a choice.
Hey, Mom.
Don't "Hey, Mom" me.
You should be in bed.
Where's Dad? I thought
he was coming home with you.
Yeah, well, he had to handle
some business,
but he'll be home later.
Come here.
Mmm. Mmm!
Okay.
Where's your brother?
He went to hang out
with that new friend of his,
Slim.
Slim?
Who's Slim?
He said he was a friend
of Dre's and Shawn.
He knew Dad and Uncle Tommy
when they were younger.
Let me try to call
your brother.
I tried that.
He didn't pick up.
Yeah, well, he better
pick up for me.
♫
Son.
Bustin' your ass... ah!
Yo, hold on.
You better pause the game,
nigga.
I think I should go home.
I don't want to but my mom
gonna be looking for me.
The last bottle of lean
was crazy.
I feel different.
Yeah, we mix it different
in D.C.
No time like the present,
motherfucker.
We doing this shit or not?
Send it.
What's his mom gon' think
when she see that?
She gon' think I'm back
from the dead, baby.
What's wrong?
Mom?
- Mom?
- Um, nothing.
Um, just... just go to your room.
I-I gotta call your father.
Hey, were you been?
I lost you for a second.
Oh, just busy keeping
the guests happy.
Well, I'm happy.
Karen and I were talking.
What do you think of Dubai?
Take my jet.
Does next week work?
Absolutely.
♫
Uh, excuse me.
I never meant to hurt you,
Angie, okay?
I had a reason for everything
I did.
That doesn't matter now.
Of course it matters.
Our love matters.
Now we can be together.
No, we can't.
Angie, what the hell?
James St. Patrick,
you are under arrest
for the murder
of Special Agent Gregory Knox.
Greg's dead?
I-I didn't kill Greg.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Angie, you gotta believe me.
Angie!
Anything you do or say
can and will be used
against you
in a court of law.
Angela, why are you
doing this?
Why did you do this?
I loved you.
All right, got it.
Yo, get your hands off...
who the fuck are you, man?
You have the right
to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney
one will be appointed to you.
Do you understand
these rights
as they've been explained
to you?
He's ready.
Come on.
♫
♫ I believe in what I sell
♫
♫ Why does everyone
hear me wrong? ♫
♫
♫ If I told you different
♫ Would it sound the same?
♫
♫ Would it make a difference
in any way? ♫
♫ Oh, oh ♫
♫ I know I've done wrong,
and I paid for it ♫
Angie, I can't believe
you're doing this to me.
Believe it, Jamie.
It's the right decision.

♫ Say that you don't need me

What did Ghost really take away
from you?
I know that Dre told you
not to hang out with me,
But Dre be talking out both
sides of his mouth.
I see potential in you,
my friend... you could replace me.
What's this?
- Belongs to Lobos's guy.
Whoever the leak is
at your office
was calling him
on that phone.
We can't be together,
Angie.
It's the right decision.

disappearing in the middle

I cannot be mentioned,
not once.
Neither Tommy nor I
can be incriminated
in any way,
or the deal is off.
Ghost just told me
he's gonna take out Milan.
He's using Ruiz to do it.
I know you had
a plan with Ruiz.
Ruiz told me about it,
right before I stabbed him.
Tommy, where's the body?
- It's under the fuckin' L.I.E.
where I left it.
If we're gonna do this,
kill Milan, I call the shots.

Come on, Ruiz,
where the fuck are you?
Shit.
Greg Knox.
What?
Where?
Sorry, sir, this is
an active police crime scene.
I don't think you have
jurisdiction.
Move the fuck away from me.
Hey, it's all right,
it's all right,
let him through.
This asshole's the reason
we're out here freezing
our ball sacks off.
Ran Ruiz's file.
Said he turned
federal witness.
Who the hell was he
gonna snitch out?
Felipe Lobos cartel.
Jesus. Man, he should've
been in WITSEC...
shopping for Wranglers
in "Bumfuckistan," Nebraska,
somewhere.
Yeah, but we were all out
of tickets to "Bumfuckistan."
His deal got pulled.
I had to kick him.
WITSEC wasn't an option.
I did officially everything
I could do.
You mind?
Be my guest.
Tell you what, you better
officially pray
to whatever God you pissed
off this doesn't leak
or you'll never see
another CI again.
Hey, look,
you seen enough?
I gotta start cleaning up
your shit show.
Yeah, I think I got all I need.
Thanks.
Feds.
Fuckin' idiots.
What do you want, Jamie?
Is there an indictment coming
against me or Tommy
for the murder
of Felipe Lobos?
Are you serious?
Something about Ruiz
making up lies about me
to make a deal
with your people?
I haven't heard anything
about anything like that.
We had to burn Ruiz
because Lobos died.
He lost his deal.
I don't think anyone's
been in contact
with him since.
Why are you asking me
this now?
Because I don't trust
that you would tell me, Angela.
You don't trust me?
I'll protect you because
it's in my own best interest.
You can trust that.
I'll ask about Ruiz,
I'll let you know
what I find out.
Good-bye, Jamie.
♫
♫
I...
Habla Inglés?
Hi, uh, yeah,
this is FBI Special Agent
Gregory Knox.
I, uh, wanted... to speak
with the agent who gave
Miguel Sandoval a tip
of a Felipe Lobos
meeting in Manhattan
a little while back.
I just wanted
to get to the source
of the information.
Yeah, I think maybe a...
Agent Rivera.
No, I know.
There must be
a million Agent Riveras.
If you could just find out,
get back to me
as soon as possible,
that would be...
Yeah, yeah, great,
that's my number.
Okay.
♫
♫
♫
When were you gonna
tell me about Ruiz?
Jerry, I know
this looks bad.
- I'm in Davis's office
defending you,
and then I come to find out you
were already at the crime scene.
I checked my phone,
no call from you.
I went straight there
when I found out.
I... yes, I should've called you.
I, I see that now.
Davis thinks that
this is your fault,
and I don't disagree.
Okay, whether or not
that you had to kick Ruiz,
if his murder was a retaliation
to him turning witness,
then your career and mine is
fucked with ten dicks running.
If you've been running Ruiz
off the books,
you better have
something great.
May be the only thing
that saves us both.
Hey. Hey, man, um...
yeah, uh, can we meet up
at your place?
Yeah, uh, it's urgent.
So, you don't know
what's on the tape?
Well, I'm not sure, but unless
the recording time ran out,
Tommy killed Ruiz.
Ohh. Shit, man.
Now we got a conflict
of interest.
I'm still Tommy's lawyer.
Proctor, don't give me
that shit.
I pay you.
Yeah, but I'm
on the court record for him,
and that tape is evidence that
could help send him to jail,
evidence that you
helped fabricate.
The conversations on that tape,
Proctor,
could implicate me
in multiple felonies,
so Tommy's best interest is
in my best interest!
Are you even sure Knox
has the device?
I mean, I can't be sure
of anything,
and Angela claims...
because I asked her...
to not know
of any pending indictment.
You know how I feel about you
trusting AUSA Valdez.
She's your girlfriend,
I... but...
What she is is no longer
my girlfriend anymore, okay?
She's back with Agent Knox.
So you fucked that up too?
You know, maybe you could just
start a group text
to keep us all informed
of your fuck-ups,
you know?
Okay.
If that recording surfaces
I'll get it excluded,
since it's totally illegal,
but...
once it's played
in open court,
Tommy's eventually going to jail
for doing Ruiz.
The cops, they'll create
the evidence to convict him.
And if you're on there...
you're going down.
♫
You aren't actually gonna
eat that, are you?
Oh, trust me,
I've eaten worse.
Now that we're free of Lobos,
I gotta work
on everything else
that's been piling up
on my desk.
I got about... pffft...
ten witnesses to prep
before court tomorrow.
Speaking of witnesses,
what ever happened to Ruiz?
That was it.
No Lobos, no deal.
I guess none of that
matters now.
What? Why?
You didn't hear?
The great Vibora Ruiz slithered
to the other side overnight.
What?
Found him in a stolen car
in Long Island City.
No witnesses, no evidence,
nothin'.
Want a bite?
I'm good, thanks.
Just the tip?
You could say "I told you so"
about the Douchebag Twins.
Oh, can I?
Okay, well, I told you so.
I just can't believe
that they'd be selling drugs
in their own nightclub.
Aside from that, everything
should be as you remember it.
Mostly everything.
Thank you for your payment
in full, by the way.
Oh, my pleasure.
Sorry about the mix-up
before.
Daddy and I are excited
about your party.
- Yeah?
- If everything goes well,
we'll be hosting an event
tomorrow
- to celebrate our partnership.
- I like the sound of that.
And to you two seeing
the best of Truth.
To Truth going global.
Mm.
I'm glad we partnered up.
So am I.
Good-bye, Karen.
I don't need an escort.
Thanks.
I'm not your escort.
I'm your babysitter.
He's here.
I know.
You may leave us.
Go play with the other
little boys.
I have some bad news.
We cannot kill Ghost.
Why not? I thought you were
sharpening these for him.
We cannot kill Ghost yet.
We need him for the black tie
party at Truth to be a success,
and once it is and
the hotel expansion contract
with the Bassetts is signed,
then "Ghost" can indeed become
James St. Patrick's
rightful name.
If we kill Ghost,
won't the Bassett deal
be off the table?
I've observed Karen Bassett's
interactions with Andre.
She has quite a fondness
for him.
- Yeah, I-I can't
understand why.
I said the same of you once.
Sometimes men can
surprise you.
Look at you,
finding your true potential,
while Petar seems to be
losing sight of his.
His sulking
has become tiresome.
But regardless,
I have no doubt
the deal will still
remain in place,
and when the time comes
for Ghost to die,
I want you to pull the trigger,
Tommy.
♫
♫
I understand you have
an issue about the direction
I'm taking my organization.
More like a lack
of understanding of you
and this product that you're
trying to move on the streets.
All right,
that's Vibora Ruiz.
late head of Soldados.
Philosophy behind switching to
the southern coast... why?
Coke is trying
to do us straight.
The fiend is not discerning,
nor is he a loyal customer.
He will buy...
That has to be Milan.
That's Milan.
We're all in this
to make money, correct?
So, you put a wire on a CI
you were running
under the table?
No papers?
Something like that,
yeah.
I thought I taught you
better than that.
Come on.
You're telling me
you guys at Homeland
don't do this shit
all the time?
Oh, of course we do,
but when we do it it's to stop
a terrorist from blowing up
the Central Park Zoo.
I came to you
because I thought
you out of all people
would understand.
I understand
you're crazy.
Hey... this is good.
We all
one big happy family now?
All right, that's... that's...
that's Tommy Egan.
Who's that?
Business partner of the guy
I was trying to get
in the first place...
James St. Patrick.
♫
Greg, are you here?
How did it go with MJ?
I called you,
you didn't pick up.
♫
♫
You know what it's like
to be betrayed, Ruiz.
That's what doing Lobos
was about.
- It's been a long night.
- Hold on.
I say we leave it alone,
huh?
Did you hear that?
Me and Ghost
killed Lobos to start over,
but it was never about that.
He just admitted that he
and St. Patrick killed Lobos.
There's nothing that ties that
to St. Patrick.
No one identifies him
by name.
If he did it, she did it,
Angela Valdes.
Your ex-girlfriend,
the one with the sister?
Yeah.
She's the leak
from the department?
She and St. Patrick
were together.
If he and Egan knew
the route of the Lobos transfer,
it's because she told them.
You can't prove any of that.
She's not on this tape either.
Wait, shut up, shut up.
You're gonna regret this.
No, I won't,
'cause I ain't do this to you.
Ghost did.
- Egan killed him.
Fucking Christ on the cross,
he killed him.
Admitting to the Lobos kill,
Ruiz's murder?
That's it, baby,
that's everything.
I got everything!
You've got nothing.
This recording doesn't exist,
remember?
That is a dying declaration
from Ruiz.
Yeah, from Ruiz, a CI you were
running unofficially,
put in grave danger,
and got him killed.
Now... you can take
these recordings to court
and try and nail these fuckers,
but you'll get roasted on cross
and you'll end up sucking dick
in prison right next to them.
Unless, I can get
one of them to flip.
What did I teach you
in class?
Who has the most to lose...
and who do I want more?
I'll be pulling up
at Truth in five minutes.
I'll see you on the inside,
Dominique.
All right, boss.
Don't forget we have VIP...
- I gotta go.
- Okay, bye.
Agent Knox.
Good evening.
Would you step out of the car,
please?
I'm clean, man.
I said I'm clean!
Turn.
And forgive me for not taking
your word for it, I'm sorry.
It's just you left quite a few
holes in Felipe Lobos.
Forgive me for not knowing
what you're talking about.
Cut the shit.
I know Tommy Egan
killed Ruiz,
and I know the two of you
killed Lobos together.
Didn't do it alone though,
did you?
Angela was
your inside man.
Give her up,
I'll get you a deal.
If you had anything on me,
I'd be in the back
of your little car by now.
You can threaten me,
you can lie to me, rough me up.
I'm not giving you
a single reason to bring me in.
All right.
You've got the most to lose
in this situation.
You know that.
You got your family,
you got your club,
you got your reputation.
It's all still clean.
There's no real proof
that you're dirty.
There's no real proof
that you're Ghost.
Because I'm not.
- Right, right, right,
except Angela.
She knows what you want.
That's why she came back to me
to pick up the pieces.
That's why she let me in.
She loved you and you
went back to your wife.
If I give her
the opportunity,
I'm pretty damn sure she's gonna
burn your ass, like she did me.
If you think Angela is guilty
of murder, you're wrong.
I wonder if she's gonna say
the same thing about you.
Come on, man,
come on, come on.
Hey, Mike?
Hey, Mike, can you meet up
at my place right now?
Yeah, we need to talk.
It's about Lobos.
You're late.
Driving while black.
Black man driving
a Escalade.
Guy probably thought
you was an Uber.
Was you clean?
As a whistle.
They ain't see shit,
I ain't say shit.
So it ain't shit.
I just met up with Milan.
He's looking to kill you
right after your big-ass party.
He wants that signature
from that Karen,
your side bitch.
I told you, I ain't fuckin' her.
She's just business.
Yeah, whatever.
Once she signs that contract,
he gonna take you out.
Somethin' about
she likes Dre?
That's true, she does.
Well, that's crazy.
We gonna have to move
during that party
while his guard is down.
Yeah, but I don't know
how can manage that.
Karen's gonna be there,
her father, all, all the guests.
Well, you better
fuckin' figure it out,
'cause we ain't gonna get
a better shot.
Thanks.
What's going on? You sounded
pretty worked up on the phone.
Angela's the leak.
I know it,
but I can't prove it.
Start at the beginning.
Right, okay, um...
I got a piece of evidence.
It's not gonna be admissible,
though.
I-I drew a little bit outside
of the lines to...
It's not gonna be admissible,
then it doesn't count.
I know, yeah, just listen,
okay?
I can link her
to the Lobos murder plot.
I fuckin' knew it all along,
and no one fuckin' believed me,
and that's fine,
but if...
Shit, let me get rid of this.
One sec, okay? Sorry.
One... one sec.
- Hello?
- Is this
Agent Gregory Knox?
This is the Mexican Federal
Police returning your call.
Uh, listen, just s... forget
I called. It's not...
Well, actually,
we can't seem to find
any record of a tip being made
recently to Miguel Sandoval
in regard
to Felipe Lobos's whereabouts.
The Agent Rivera
in that department,
uh, died a year ago.
That's all the information
we have at this time.
Okay, thank you.
Appreciate your call.
Everything all right?
Yeah, of course.
Where was I?
Angela's the leak.
Right.
Yeah.
She's the leak.
Beer? You want a beer
or something? You good?
- Sure.
- Yeah? Okay.
According to the Federales,
Lobos plans to meet
with his distributor Tommy Egan
at a warehouse
on 11th Avenue.
The last thing
our department needs
is a wild, unformulated
accusation about a leak.
♫
I have to tell you,
I suspected Angela all along.
She has access
to everything.
That's what I been saying.
Here you are.
Thanks.
- Cheers.
- Mm.
Yeah, it's just...
mm, yeah.
It's just the GPS tracker
on Lobos...
She obviously told
the assailants where to find it.
You said you saw them
go right for it.
Well, they did,
except she wasn't
in your office
when we discussed it.
It was just...
Anglin, Donovan, me, and you.
Who was that on the phone,
Greg?
Oh, Federales.
You know that tip you got
about the meeting
where we arrested Lobos?
Never happened, Mike.
They've never heard of you.
They're disorganized.
I saw you
outside Hugo Sanchez's building.
I was trying to solve
this case.
You were covering your tracks,
weren't you?
Agents are dead.
I almost fucking died
because of you.
They threatened my family.
I had no choice.
We always have a choice.
Look, Greg...
Angela's dirty.
You know it and I know it.
St. Patrick, Egan,
the sketch,
what she did
to your career.
She should already be
in prison.
If we can offer her to MJ...
You mean frame her.
If we take her down
as the leak,
we could finally collar
St. Patrick and Egan
as Lobos's distributors.
It's what you said.
If Angela's the leak, it means
you were right about everything.
The allegations she made
against you,
everyone who doubted you
and said that you were crazy...
It all goes away.
You're a hero.
You said you have
a piece of evidence?
We can use it.
I'll get around
the admissibility problem,
whatever it is.
We can make this work.
You're right, she's dirty.
But on this one
she's clean.
I'm so sorry, Mike.
I gotta take you in.
Hey, Mike,
hey, hey, hey, take it easy.
It's fine.
Just put the gun down,
we'll talk about it.
- I can't do that, Greg.
I'm gonna help you,
all right?
We're gonna... you're gonna
get a deal.
You're a good guy.
I just need you
to put the gun down.
If you pull that trigger,
it means you're no better
than Lobos.
If you pull that trigger,
it means one day
your beautiful
little daughter,
she's gonna know
that her daddy's a murderer.
♫
♫
Saxe.
Oh, God,
they called you too.
Who called me?
What are you talking about?
Jerry, what's going on?
Bad day, Angela.
I'm sorry.
- You shouldn't go in there.
- Oh, my God.
What?
Watch your back.
I don't understand.
What happened to Greg?
I don't understand.
What happened?
I...
Wh...
It's like with girls.
No just mean "Not right now."
It's like, say you talk
to a girl and she tell you no.
Then later you come back around,
you talk to her again,
she remember that first time
she told you no.
So she say, "You been liking me
for all of this time."
Maybe now I give him
some booty.
Word?
That's the way it is.
What happened to your hand?
Oh.
That's a long story.
I-I should get to school.
Told my mom I was
with Calvin.
Nah, nah.
I need you to take this
to my man Ray Ray.
Give to him and bring back
what he gives you.
What is it?
Never mind.
I'll do it my fuckin' self, man.
I thought you knew better
than to ask some shit like that.
It's all right.
You just ain't ready.
No, no.
I'm gonna do it.
Where's Ray Ray At?
Why'd you come in so late
last night?
Went to see Angela?
Angela and I ain't talkin' much
these days.
But I did see Tommy.
He killed Ruiz for being
a traitor to Milan.
Uh, did Tommy say
how he figured that out?
Oh, he said Ruiz told him
right before he killed him.
He knew that was my only way out
and he shut it down!
Well, Tommy doesn't want you
to get out.
Trust me, I know it,
but I thought at a base level
we were back on point, I mean,
after I helped him with Holly.
You know, I mean, after
everything we been through.
Tommy is changing,
and I don't think
it's for the better.
Help him with Holly?
Like how?
I'm gonna go make sure that
Raina remembers her tap things.
Baby girl, you got
them loud shoes?
I can't find them.
You lose 'em every week,
Raina.
Said you wanted to talk.
I came unarmed.
Now, we both know
that's bullshit.
You think you can kill me
and get away with it?
Tommy, you are more stupid
than I thought.
If I wanted you dead,
we wouldn't be talking.
Let me ask you something.
How'd it feel the other day
when Milan cock-slapped you
in front of the entire
Belgrade social club?
How does it feel to know
that after everything
you've done for him,
he shows me love over you?
That's what I thought.
Look, I got a plan that'll
make us both rich and happy,
but it means that I gotta
trust you
and you gotta trust me.
Are you down?
We'd like to have a word
with you all
about the late
Agent Greg Knox.
We found a burner cell
in Knox's apartment,
not attached to any case
he was working.
It's the phone that called Lobos
the day he went missing.
It's the phone that belonged
to someone in this office
that leaked
Lobos's location.
Add that to his obsession
with the case,
luring Ruiz back,
even while under suspension.
Looks like Greg Knox
was your leak.
- No.
- No way.
That doesn't make
any sense.
I don't believe that.
It doesn't matter
what you believe.
There was a leak in your office
right under your nose.
You and Donovan over here
should both lose your job.
Knox's killer was probably
a Lobos associate
tying up loose ends,
and there was no forced entry,
so unless he left
the window open,
he knew his killer
and let him in.
Greg never
left his windows unlocked.
Well, you would know.
I can assure you that
no one in this office
suspected Knox
of any wrongdoing.
At least his murder saves us
the cost of his prosecution.
This case is closed.
Come on, Lance, we got
a Delta shuttle to catch.
Sorry for your loss,
AUSA Valdez.
That phone wasn't the only piece
of random evidence
at Knox's apartment.
There was a dress
and a bracelet, a bra.
You two were back together,
huh?
Briefly.
After everything you put him
through?
I guess he just couldn't
shake ya.
It's amazing what a man'll do
for ya if he really loves you.
Good luck, girl.
You're gonna need it.
♫
Tash, you okay?
What's this big emergency?
The big emergency is
you killed Ruiz.
Ghost came to me
this morning
wondering why you stopped
his plan to get out.
He cannot know that I told you,
Tommy.
He's not gonna know that you
said nothing. It's handled.
You know, he's not wrong
about getting away from Milan.
Listen, Tash,
I got a plan
to get us all
out from under Milan.
You sound just like Ghost now.
He's always got a plan.
It's always about trusting him.
Yeah?
Well, trust me.
We... all play our parts right,
everyone will get
what they want,
as long as Milan...
and Ghost...
stay in the dark.
I am trusting you, Tommy.
Ghost can be a lying,
sometime-y motherfucker,
but he is still
the father of my kids,
and I need to protect him,
even from himself.
I'm protecting him too.
I always do.
This morning Ghost said
something about helping you...
with Holly.
What does he mean, Tommy?
Holly?
Nothing.
Nothing happened, T.
Stick to the plan.
You've got to be kidding me.
Why do we have to meet here?
Well, Angie, I was
in the neighborhood, and...
you always liked
the fries.
What did you do last night,
Jamie?
I thought we weren't
supposed to ask each other
those kind of questions.
What did you do last night?
I went to work...
the club.
Did you have a nice night
with Agent Knox?
I didn't see him
last night.
Well, I did.
He pulled me over.
He didn't tell you?
He came out accusing me
of killing Lobos,
which I told you
he would do.
What did you tell him?
I told him he had no proof,
Angie,
that if he had proof,
he would've arrested me.
He tried to get me to say
that you were the leak.
I told him you were
innocent.
Oh, my God.
So does that mean that you
now believe me?
I don't know
what to believe.
Angie, I told you that I needed
to protect you from Greg.
I'd do anything
to protect you.
I agreed to meet with you
because the leak case
was closed.
They found that person,
so I'm in the clear.
And you and me,
we're done.
Angie, that's a lie.
You still love me
and I still love you.
Good-bye, Jamie.
Yo, you Ray Ray, right?
Here, I got this for you.
What the fuck you doing, man?
Not here, man.
Get yo' ass in there, nigga,
come on.
All right, nigga,
you got my shit?
Yeah.
That's nice.
All right,
hands against the wall.
- What?
- I said grab some wall!
You have the right
to remain silent.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A'ight.
Tariq St. Patrick.
Handed me these.
Hoo.
Where'd you get these?
These babies will put you
in juvenile detention
till your 18th birthday,
which I'm guessin'
is gonna take
several long years for you,
so you want to do yourself
a favor
and tell me who gave you
that shit?
You know rich, little mark-ass
bitches like you,
they fresh meat
up in Spofford.
You so fuckin' soft,
they gon' call you Ta-fleece.
You sure as shit
ain't no hustler, nigga.
Think about all the trouble
you're gonna get in...
the law, school,
your parents.
I know you don't want
all of that,
so I'm gonna give
you one last chance.
Tell me who gave you
these guns.
Speak, nigga!
Okay.
We're going in.
Your boy held tough.
He didn't say shit.
See, now, that's how you
handle shit, like a G.
- Yeah.
Little man.
A'ight.
♫
You okay, Valdes?
No.
In fact,
I don't know how...
I'm going to be okay.
You?
I thought I knew Greg,
you know?
He was such a...
true believer.
Hard to believe he was dirty.
And the fact that we'll
probably never catch
the guy who killed him
is pretty hard to take.
Yeah...
too hard to take.
Listen.
If you don't want to go home
alone tonight...
W...
Sometimes grief does
strange things to people.
Not that strange.
I'm here if you
change your mind.
♫
♫ But where I'm from
♫ It ain't hard
to pull the strap ♫
♫ 'Cause if a nigga want some
I got some ♫
♫ And I'ma serve the gas
till they done ♫
♫ So...
For real,
you shoulda seen your face.
"Hands on the wall!"
Ha! Yeah, whatever.
No whatever, nigga.
You turned white so fast,
Michael Jackson
would've been jealous.
Eh hee-hee!
You not from this neighborhood,
are you?
Nah, I'm from the city.
Not that it matters
anymore.
I don't never wanna go
back there.
My family just... they just
all fake, they're all liars.
I don't want shit from them
anymore, I can get my own stuff.
My dad can keep his money.
No doubt.
Not that it makes
a damn difference,
but, um,
if you had to guess...
how much money would you say
your pops is worth?
I don't know, a lot?
A lot?
What you got, Alfred answering
the front door or some shit?
No, we don't got a front door.
We got a elevator.
You got a elevator?
Juke, you got a minute?
I told you he was ready.
Yeah, he held up,
but why you lookin'
like you about to lift
that little nigga in the air
like The Lion King
or some shit?
Don't get attached.
Why you ain't tell me
Ghost is ballin' now?
Not just drug money,
nightclubs and shit.
That just slip your mind?
What difference does it make
anyway?
So... you got a rich man's kid
in your place.
You just ain't gonna do shit
with it?
I was gonna use him
to fuck with the parents
of his rich-ass friends,
break into their apartments
and shit.
I already turnt him out.
He gonna be down with us.
Yo, fuck that.
He is the hustle.
Ransom his ass.
You can get the money
and kill him anyway.
You are still plannin'
on killin' him, right?
The point was to break
his father.
This way you break him twice.
Once in the pocket,
once in the heart.
You get Ghost's money,
kill his kid,
you ride off
into the sunset.
Flawless fuckin' victory.
Right?
Right.
♫
- Ah.
- I have to hand it to you.
I'm quite confident,
by the end of the night, Karen,
I will earn our partnership.
No handouts here.
I hope you're right.
He's right, Daddy,
he's right.
Come on, let's take a walk.
Welcome to the party.
♫
♫
Okay, nigga, we here,
on time,
in these fuckin' monkey suits.
What's up?
All right, listen, we do it
like we talked about, a'ight?
- A'ight.
- It's just smooth as silk.
- No 'hood shit.
- Bet.
♫
Yo, nothin' pops off
in this club, y'all hear me?
- Got it.
- Got a lot of rich white people
here that ain't afraid
to call 911.
- Got it.
- So don't get jumpy.
I heard you, motherfucker,
we good.
- Let's get money.
- Let's get it.
♫
Man of the hour,
Mr. Rashad Jennings.
James, how you doing?
Good, man, everything
to your expectations, huh?
Oh, man, this is
above and beyond.
Let me let that add
to your night.
- Whoo.
- Only the best for the best.
Yeah!
Hey, man, you really
turned up the place tonight.
Let me tell the bartender
what to do for you.
You make sure you
take care of this man
and all his people,
all right?
When that's dead,
I got a whole crate upstairs.
Mr. St. Patrick.
Mr. Bassett.
We feel you are right.
You have earned it.
Sir.
♫
We'll get right to work.
I can't wait.
- To us.
- To us.
♫
Oh, Tasha.
Good to see you again.
What the fuck are you
doing here?
Oh, you know,
now it's our club too.
♫
Now that the paperwork is
signed, we have to talk.
I don't have a damn thing
to say to you.
♫ Yeah, we breakin'
♫ Breakin' necks
and we cashin' checks ♫
♫ So we breakin',
breakin' necks ♫
Oh, but we do.
♫ Like it's going
out of style ♫
You are completely deserted.
But, at least you picked
a nice suit
for your last night
on Earth.
I have you now.
No, I have you now.
Do exactly as I say.
Whatever your foolish plan is,
it won't work.
This time it was you
who failed to notice me.
Look around.
♫ I'm so so blessed
♫ Know nothin' 'bout no luck
♫ 'Bout to blow out
all the speakers ♫
♫ Everybody turn the fuck up
♫
Go ahead and try it, bitch.
You're alone.
Now, walk.
♫
♫ Breakin'
Breakin' necks ♫
♫ And we cash...
It's about damn time.
Tommy, after everything
I tried to teach you.
Get in the back, Chefe.
♫
Stop.
Right there.
So, this is it?
This is your revenge?
It's not personal, Milan.
Just business.
I underestimated you.
Nah, you underestimated us.
We could've killed you
in the club, Milan.
We wanted you to know that we
outsmarted you this time,
so you die here.
You learned.
Nighty night, Milan.
Rest easy.
I ain't gonna eat you.
♫
That worked, partner.
Yeah, just like
we thought it would.
If I'm gonna be the connect,
gotta get rid of the connect.
- Right?
- Right.
You were right, Ghost.
Gettin' rid of Milan gives us
both everything we want.
It's over.
It's over.
All right, then I'ma get back
to work, all right?
I got a club to run.
You watch your back.
You too, motherfuck.
Just spoke to Dre.
The men all played their parts.
Everyone's safe and sound
and drinking beers.
We should go.
We have to get the men started
on moving to new warehouse.
Yeah.
I'll give the order.
Did you tell Ghost
we're still going to sell drugs
in his clubs?
Nah, he'll know
soon enough.
Think he'll agree to that?
I won't give him a choice.
Hey, Mom.
Don't "Hey, Mom" me.
You should be in bed.
Where's Dad? I thought
he was coming home with you.
Yeah, well, he had to handle
some business,
but he'll be home later.
Come here.
Mmm. Mmm!
Okay.
Where's your brother?
He went to hang out
with that new friend of his,
Slim.
Slim?
Who's Slim?
He said he was a friend
of Dre's and Shawn.
He knew Dad and Uncle Tommy
when they were younger.
Let me try to call
your brother.
I tried that.
He didn't pick up.
Yeah, well, he better
pick up for me.
♫
Son.
Bustin' your ass... ah!
Yo, hold on.
You better pause the game,
nigga.
I think I should go home.
I don't want to but my mom
gonna be looking for me.
The last bottle of lean
was crazy.
I feel different.
Yeah, we mix it different
in D.C.
No time like the present,
motherfucker.
We doing this shit or not?
Send it.
What's his mom gon' think
when she see that?
She gon' think I'm back
from the dead, baby.
What's wrong?
Mom?
- Mom?
- Um, nothing.
Um, just... just go to your room.
I-I gotta call your father.
Hey, were you been?
I lost you for a second.
Oh, just busy keeping
the guests happy.
Well, I'm happy.
Karen and I were talking.
What do you think of Dubai?
Take my jet.
Does next week work?
Absolutely.
♫
Uh, excuse me.
I never meant to hurt you,
Angie, okay?
I had a reason for everything
I did.
That doesn't matter now.
Of course it matters.
Our love matters.
Now we can be together.
No, we can't.
Angie, what the hell?
James St. Patrick,
you are under arrest
for the murder
of Special Agent Gregory Knox.
Greg's dead?
I-I didn't kill Greg.
You have the right
to remain silent.
Angie, you gotta believe me.
Angie!
Anything you do or say
can and will be used
against you
in a court of law.
Angela, why are you
doing this?
Why did you do this?
I loved you.
All right, got it.
Yo, get your hands off...
who the fuck are you, man?
You have the right
to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney
one will be appointed to you.
Do you understand
these rights
as they've been explained
to you?
He's ready.
Come on.
