MAN:
Previously on Power...
We got to kill Lobos.
What you gonna do
about an alibi?
GHOST:
I can use Karen.
I just wanted to know
if you were willing to move
our meeting tomorrow to
the Odette on the Hudson.
You must be
Mrs. St. Patrick.
Call me Tasha.
We transfer Lobos to DC
and this is
all behind us, right?
Once I have all
the info you can contact
your associates on the outside
to make arrangements.
[ gunshots ]
After I got popped,
they went straight
for Lobos's GPS tracker,
which means we've got
a big fucking leak.
[ cell phone vibrates ]
- Fuck, is that a phone?
Ghost, we said
no phones!
I need to end
this now, Tommy.
[ gunshot ]
You picked Ghost over me.
Trust me, I promise you, I'm
right where you want me to be.
DRE: You get a card like that,
it means you're in trouble.
GHOST: Uh, good evening, sir.
I'm here to visit a friend--
Tatiana Boriskaya.
Did you get my message?
- Milan.
- Nice to meet you.
Yo, he's been working
for you this whole time?
That motherfucker say we're
going back to work for him,
to pay him back.
Angela, she's a liability.
You can't even tell her that
the Serbians are after her.
We can't be
together, Angie.
It's the right decision.
[ sobbing ]
JOE: * They say this is
a big, rich town *
* I just come
from the poorest part *
* Bright lights, city life
* I gotta make it,
this is where it goes down *
* I just happen
to come up hard *
* Legal or illegal, baby,
I gotta make it *
50 CENT: * I never took
a straight path nowhere *
* Life's full of twists
and turns, bumps and bruises *
* I live, I learn
* I'm from that city full of
yellow cabs and skyscrapers *
* It's hard to get a start
in these parts without paper *
* Homey, I grew up in hell,
a block away from heaven *
* That corner every 15 minutes,
they moving seven *
* Pure snow, bag it,
then watch it go *
* Occupational options,
get some blow or some hos *
* Shoot the ball or the strap,
learn to rap or to jack *
* Fuck it, man,
in the meantime *
* Go head and pump a pack
* This my regal, royal flow,
my James Bond bounce *
* That 007,
that's 62 on my count *
* I'm an undercover liar,
I lie under the covers *
* Look a bitch in the eyes
and tell her, baby, I love ya *
* You're my inspiration,
you're my motivation *
* You're the reason that
I'm moving with no hesitation *
JOE: * They say this is

* Yeah, I just come
from the poorest part *
* Bright lights, city life
* I gotta make it,
this is where it goes down *
* Oh, yeah, yeah
* I just happen
to come up hard *
* Legal or illegal, baby,
I gotta make it *
*
[ MDWS's "Circles" plays ]
*
I love you.
I always loved you.
I know you do.
I didn't mean
to hurt you.
But I had to.
It was the only way.
I understand.
*
MAN:
* In another year
* I'll be waiting here
- I'll fix this.
- I know you will.
MAN:
* So you can figure it out
Don't go.
MAN: * In another life *
- Please?
MAN:
* You were satisfied
* Always running around
in circles *
[ cell phone vibrating ]
Everything I used to say,
he threw back in my face,
that this was all a fantasy,
that we were letting
our 15-year-old selves
dictate our future.
[ speaking Spanish ]
I want him!
No one else will
ever know me like that.
I'll never let them.
He was still married.
He showed me
his separation papers.
Were they signed?
- [ sighs ]
- Shh.
How could he
do this to me?
What happened?
What changed?
Why now?
[ knocking on door ]
Tim.
Come in.
What are you
doing here?
This is my sister, Paz.
- Hi, Tim.
- Hello.
Valdes, I need you
to come with me.
Why?
I can't say.
I really can't.
Get your laptop and your phone.
Let's go.
[ tense music ]
*
Who are they?
Did they find Lobos?
Tim, how many favors have
I done for you? You owe me.
Office of Professional
Responsibility.
Shit.
[ tense music ]
*
You'll have the total
amount for the buy-in
wired to you by the end
of the day today.
I'd be lying if I said that
your ability to scrape together
the cash so quickly
wasn't a factor
in my father's decision
to partner with you.
I've sacrificed
way too much, Karen,
to let some little money
get in the way.
Cheers.
And I got a feeling I'll
make it back in record time.
I bet you he won't be making
copies for much longer
once this deal goes through.
- You think so?
- Have you seen you?
We can't afford to
just have you
pushing papers in the back.
Well, thank you, Karen.
GHOST: That's definitely
my vision for Andre.
Kid's got a lot
of potential.
KAREN:
I got to run.
I'll see you later on for the
final walk-through with Dad?
Wouldn't miss it
for the world.
You have our full support
in your breach-of-duty
investigation
of my Lobos task force, MJ.
If someone leaked
details accidentally,
I guarantee
they're gonna cooperate.
We have no reason to
believe the Lobos escape
was a breach of duty.
This was a purposeful
leak of information.
We're here to investigate
criminal conspiracy.
Mr. Sandoval,
if you'll excuse us.
We'll be interviewing
you shortly.
I thought I'd be part of
the debrief of the task force.
Everybody on the task force
is on the suspect list.
MJ: Only way to get off
that list is to talk with us.
It's not personal.
Mike, go on ahead.
I'll take it from here.
Lobos escaped,
and he got himself killed
by a traitor
in his own ranks.
I admit someone
on our side had to be sloppy,
but it's a far cry
from intent.
It's breach of duty
at best.
No, actually, it's criminal
conspiracy to commit murder.
Lobos is dead,
and the cell phone
found on his person
links us to this office.
Lobos's burner cell received its
very first and very last call
just moments before
his estimated time of death
from a number ending
in 6453.
We pulled the records
for that phone.
Turns out that that number
made multiple calls
to only one other number
ending in 0148.
These are prepaid
burner cells,
but we're able to follow
the call pattern.
The 0148 number pinged
a cell tower near Teterboro.
Can you guess which tower
pinged the 6453 number?
The one right on top
of this building.
- Shit.
- My thoughts exactly.
Someone in this building was
involved with the Lobos escape,
and the only people
with relevant information
were on this task force.
One of your people
is dirty, David,
and I'm gonna find out
which one.
We get a new connect, and now
fucking Ghost is back in?
[ scoffs ]
What's that mean for me?
It means you still got a job.
Give me a fucking break, J.
It's been a minute, man.
Yeah, I wonder why.
Look, man, I was just
doing what I had to do.
All right, playboy.
[ chuckles ]
Julito.
I ain't working with that
Tony the Tiger-lookin'
motherfucker Dre.
No Dre, got it.
We can't talk here, Tommy.
Let's rap outside, all right?
Stay here, J.
We good.
- What's up, man?
- It's good.
Ghost get you off
the streets, huh?
- Shit, hell, yeah, man.
- You back in too?
It's not looking like it.
So you take care of it?
Huh?
You never came back
to the warehouse.
Oh.
Guess you didn't need
any help with Angela?
I handled it.
She still breathing?
Tommy, I ain't
under her roof,
which means I ain't
under her radar--it's over.
So you dumped
a female government agent.
Why don't you give me
a little warning
before I get arrested
this time?
Tommy, Angela's not
coming after us, man.
The Lobos task force is over.
Yeah, till
they find the body,
but we'll probably be chunks
in Milan's shit by then,
so it don't matter anyway.
Would you please check
your attitude, man?
I'm serious.
You're gonna get us both killed.
Tommy, Milan
should've killed us.
We don't even know what game
we're playing here.
We got to stick together,
until we know
how to play him
or until he slips up,
then we get him.
What if he don't slip up?
Everyone does eventually.
Hey, you need me to go along
for whatever's going down?
No, you good, Andre.
Just hang back, all right?
Fuck.
Inside.
Not him.
You good, T?
Just go back to the spot.
Check out the new product.
I'll meet you there,
after all this bullshit.
[ tense music ]
*
Tariq, come on!
Let's go.
Oh, my God.
All Dr. Hong wants to do
is talk about my feelings.
- It's so stupid.
- I know, baby.
But you only have
two more sessions to finish,
and you can go
back to school.
Don't you want to see
your father at Career Day?
No. And you hate him too,
so why do you even care?
Riq, come here.
I do not hate
your father.
Yes, you do. God, you're such
a fucking liar, just like him.
Boy, you better get
your black ass
to your room right now!
You lost your goddamn mind!
Ghost, I need you
to call me back
as soon as
you get this message.
You better come over here
and talk to your child
before I kill him
my damn self.
You've been interviewed
by the OPR before, haven't you?
When Lobos's California distro
was murdered in your custody,
along with two marshals?
I was investigated,
as a formality, and cleared.
But I was never a suspect.
There was no indication
I was involved.
I had none of the markers
of being compromised--
no sudden increase in wealth,
points of pressure,
or connections to criminals
or criminal activity.
So you know nothing
about the cell phone
found at the Lobos
murder scene?
No, I don't know
about the phone.
I don't know anything
about what happened to Lobos
after the caravan was hit.
Let's talk about that,
the logistics
of Lobos's transfer.
It says here that after Lobos
agreed to flip on the Jimenez,
you got the official
request from DC?
I got the request,
but Valdes filed
the paperwork.
Yes, Mike told me
about the transfer request
and asked me
to file the paperwork.
It's only your signature
on the documents.
Did you keep a copy
of the transfer order
for your own records,
take it home maybe?
I filed the paperwork and
left all copies here, ma'am.
We were under strict orders
that all documents
associated with the John Doe
prosecution of Lobos
were not to
leave the building.
But you're not a big fan
of the rules, right, Valdes?
I mean, using a minor
to identify
a dangerous
narcotics suspect?
Turning a sex offender
into a criminal informant?
You break the rules
all the time.
Where were you when you learned
that Lobos had escaped?
I was in the van
with Felipe Lobos
when we were ambushed.
You survived the shot
to the chest.
- Two, Agent Donovan.
LANCE: Your vest protected you,
but I've been thinking,
why didn't they shoot you
in the head?
MJ: You claimed
in your report
that the Lobos escape
was an inside job.
There's not a doubt
in my mind.
What makes you say that?
DONOVAN: Agent Knox
reported that Lobos
anticipated the hit
on the caravan
and that the men
that helped him to escape
knew where to find
the GPS tracker.
Agent Donovan, you weren't
originally assigned
to this task force.
Why were you brought
on the case?
Did you request
more involvement with Lobos?
No, Agent Donovan,
there was an incident
between Knox and
an AUSA on the task force.
Angela and Greg had
a romantic relationship.
They thought it was a secret,
but everybody knew.
It ended.
I don't know. I don't care.
I can't really speak
to their interpersonal problems.
Probably because
you're too distracted
with interpersonal
problems of your own.
I-I-I never bring my issues
to the office.
I'm not sure there's
enough space in here
for what you're into.
[ chuckles ]
W--You...
you guys--you keep
a file on that?
We keep a file on everything.
Tell us what happened
with Knox and Valdes, Mr. Saxe.
All I know is Greg
was suspended
because Angela accused him
of stalking her.
Then one day Greg's
waltzing in with Vibora Ruiz,
and he's back on the task force
like he never left.
Valdes had no objection to
Knox's return to the task force,
and Ruiz was a valuable asset
for the Lobos case.
He would only work
with Agent Knox.
I had no choice.
Did you ever speak
of the John Doe prosecution
of Felipe Lobos
outside of the task force?
- No.
- No.
- No.
- No.
Uh, I was in communication
with Agent Knox
while he was suspended,
but I never told him
about our John Doe prosecution.
I follow protocol.
I was being a nice guy.
Knox was a little fucked up,
over-focused on the case...
on Valdes, really,
but it was on the case.
MJ: Can you tell me why you were
so eager to obtain Mr. Ruiz,
even though
you were suspended?
- I wanted justice.
- For?
Myself. I had a theory,
and Ruiz could prove
that I was right and that
I didn't deserve my suspension.
So you weren't following
AUSA Valdes
during your suspension?
Oh, no, I was.
I was following her,
but only because I thought
she was involved
with our suspects.
I mean, how the hell else
did she have
the right address
for the Lobos meet?
An anonymous tip.
You initially reported
that you had an unofficial tail
placed on him.
An anonymous tip
would've seemed unreliable.
I needed to convince Mike
to move the team
in a short
amount of time.
- So you lied.
- I lied. We got our guy.
Back to your rules
problem again.
Shouldn't we be talking
about how to find Lobos?
If we could extradite him--
We know where Lobos is.
That's not the problem.
Felipe Lobos is dead.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck.
MIKE:
Lobos had many enemies.
I'm not at all surprised.
- He was killed.
- Murdered, yes.
- You seem upset.
- Of course I'm upset.
I had hopes
for the future...
that we would find Lobos
and try him,
but now that's
completely fucked.
[ breathes deeply ]
Can I have a break?
You sold drugs, saved your
money, started a family,
moved to Manhattan,
and made investments.
This is
the American dream, no?
Then you took from me,
and you killed the head
of my network,
and now you are here,
enslaved to me.
Yeah, Chefe.
Motherfucker Googled
the shit out of you.
Yo, This Is Your Life,
you gonna do me next?
Duse, you will distribute
to your high-end clientele
as well as oversee
your deputy's distribution
to Shin, Cristobal, and Poncho.
I look like
a deputy to you?
Yes, Chefe.
- Any questions?
TOMMY: I got one.
You really eat people?
You gonna answer
my question?
Vladimir said you were simple,
but he liked you anyway.
I cannot comprehend why.
[ exhales deeply ]
[ sighs ]
Used to having the bathroom
to yourself, huh?
I guess so.
Never thought about it.
I had my own bathroom
when I worked criminal
at Georgia Northern.
The ladies' was my refuge
from all the eye-fucking
and ass-grabbing.
It's not so bad here.
Believe it or not...
I kind of miss those days.
You still got that
certain set of skills
that makes them listen
to you when you talk.
Turn 40, they turn
into Helen Keller.
A word of advice--
take that ass to General Crimes
and make a case.
Get a bench before
you turn into a pumpkin.
I was thinking...
The Jimenez tried
to kill Lobos before
when he was in lockdown,
but failed.
Do you think they
finally finished the task?
Lobos's murder investigation
is not my problem.
And it's not yours either.
But you'll get your answer
soon enough.
Eastern District's
been assigned
to figure out
who pulled the trigger.
And when they do, it's gonna
lead them right back here.
So how the fuck
he know about this place?
I know about everything.
What the mother fuck is this?
There you will find
the product
for your primeras
as we discussed.
No more Father Callahan.
He runs guns for the...
[ speaking Serbian ]
Fuck the guns.
His kids move a shit-ton
of product,
undetected on account
of their uniforms.
Ah, getting rid of Callahan
is bad for business.
You're right, Tommy.
This is business.
Do not fire Callahan.
Kill him.
I ain't gonna kill
the motherfucker
just 'cause you say so.
We also have
your product, Duse.
I will require you to sell
it in your nightclubs.
Surely there's another
way to punish him.
[ whispering indistinctly
in Serbian ]
What I'm saying is I can push
just as much product
in the street,
with fewer consequences.
[ grunting and choking ]
[ neck snaps ]
He did not follow
my instructions.
I will require a cashier's check
made out to my security company
for the full cost
of the product...
by the end of the day.
Chefe, you got to let us pay
you double next delivery.
All of our clean money's
tied up.
[ American accent ]
Karen Bassett will
wait, right, James?
Get your men to work.
[ speaking Serbian ]
He knows everything
about our business.
He's forcing us to run it
instead of just taking it, man.
To what end?
So he don't have to do it.
You heard him.
We're his slaves.
Listen, Tommy,
all my clean money's tied up.
You got enough to float us?
Nah. But you can
have my share.
I ain't paying up front
for an untested product.
Milan will have to deal.
Tommy, a man like that
doesn't fucking deal.
You see what he just did
to his boy?
Once upon a time,
you were the one
warning me not to cross him.
Now all of a sudden,
you all about it?
What the fuck
is up with you?
What the fuck
is up with you--
rolling over
like a little bitch?
You really gonna deal
in your club?
All I'm saying is, for now,
we got to do what he says.
We wet Callahan,
we go to the bank,
we pay the motherfucker,
then we sit back,
and we wait to see what
our next move is gonna be.
Look, man, I can't get
out of this shit alone.
I don't care what the Serbian
Hannibal Lecter says, Ghost,
you ain't my
fucking boss.
I've been running things
since you left.
I'll handle this
my own way.
First the gun, now this.
He's just
getting worse, Ghost.
If he'll raise a hand to me,
the worst is yet to come.
Okay, Tasha, as soon as the boy
gets back from therapy,
I'll talk to him, all right?
I'll get him straight.
Yeah, well, good thing,
'cause you're the one
that got him crooked.
You know,
he's still torn up
over the Knicks game
you took away.
I told you--
something came up.
Something more important
than your son?
I know you ain't gonna
tell me what it was.
Do you even know
how to tell the truth anymore?
Okay, Tasha.
You want the truth?
Please.
Here it is.
I need your help.
I got
the Karen Bassett contract.
The problem is,
I'm short on money.
Did you not just brag to me
about having the cash
when we were at her hotel?
- What happened?
- Some unexpected bills.
[ scoffs ]
So, look, I just need
a short-term loan
from the IRA
and the kids' trust,
but I can't do it
until I get your permission
since you're
the co-signatory.
- Mm-mm, no.
- What?
I'm not doing it.
Look, Tasha, you know I will
have it back to you right away.
Tasha, I would not be standing
here in front of you pleading
if I had another option.
Seems to me you
got another option.
Shouldn't you be asking
that other woman for help?
All that lawyer money she got?
Um, I can't--
I can't ask Angela, okay?
We--we're no longer together.
I ended it.
I don't want to get
into it right now.
I'm asking you.
I need the money.
The tax penalties
will be ridiculous.
- No, 'cause we--
- The club shit is speculative.
And I know you, Ghost.
Things go south
with the clubs,
you're gonna put all
the Lobos cash right into them,
and the kids take a hit.
You'll forget all
about putting the money back.
Tasha, I would never
steal from the kids.
Those are our kids,
all right?
I'm sorry. I'm not betting
their future on yours.
Find another way.
Tariq will be back
this afternoon.
Oh, fuck, man!
- You lied to me.
- What the fuck
you talking about?
You said Ghost was out and not
fucking with Tommy no more.
What was that I saw
out front this morning, then?
Yo, I just found out
my own self, man.
I swear to God,
I'm not playing you.
You know this nigga--
he always keeps a secret.
I'm out in the cold
just like you.
Swear to God.
It's time for you
to get inside,
find out what it is
he's up to, fast.
I don't know how much longer
I can lay in the cut.
You need to get
the fuck out of here, man.
There's all kind of eyes
watching, all right?
I'll call you.
I'll call you.
KAREN:
What do you think, Daddy?
Oh, I think
the "Stern-vanquisher"
is going to make
a fantastic partner.
Thank you, sir.
Hopefully I can parlay
that high esteem into a favor.
What is it, James?
I had a misunderstanding
with another associate, Karen,
so, unfortunately, I'm gonna
need a few more weeks
to come up with the money,
but not a big deal.
I will then bring you
a wheelbarrow full of cash,
plus the penalty, sir.
What happened?
You had the money this morning.
- An unforeseeable reversal.
HORATIO: James...
my stockholders are expecting
to hear certain numbers
on my earnings report
at the end of the quarter,
and I can't deliver it
without your cash investment.
It's clear to me
you're in no financial shape
to join our group.
He's got till
the end of the day, Dad.
I know this means
a lot to you, James.
Get the money.
[ sighs ]
What is this for?
It's for, um--
I'll tell you later.
Thank you, T.
Tommy, why'd you
do that to Holly?
Ghost told me
what happened.
He did?
I thought you would've done
better than that.
I feel responsible.
I told her to tell you.
You knew?
I thought
you would've been cool,
but you flipped out, right?
Now she's out there, alone,
pregnant with your child.
Pregnant.
Probably already halfway
to Ohio by now.
Are you gonna at least
try to find her?
Listen, if you wait too long,
it'll probably be too late.
- I got to get out of here.
- You gonna go find her?
Yeah, maybe.
I got to deliver this.
Tommy, are you okay?
Call me, okay?
You've accused Valdes
of interfering
with the Lobos case
to help St. Patrick save
his friend Egan from prison.
But that argument
doesn't really apply
to Lobos's escape.
Egan's already in the clear.
Right, but she's fucking
James St. Patrick.
Maybe he wanted Lobos dead.
Why would St. Patrick
want that, Agent Knox?
We have no proof
that St. Patrick
is directly
involved with Lobos.
And there's no law
against AUSA Valdes having
a relationship with him.
So she's just gonna
get away with it.
Valdes didn't break the law,
Agent Knox.
She broke your heart.
Isn't that why you wanted
back on the task force,
to catch Valdes?
And then when you couldn't,
maybe you snapped.
Maybe you set up
Lobos's murder,
thinking you could pin
all this on her,
get back at her
for ruining your career,
for falling in love
with somebody else.
You keep saying
there's an inside man.
Maybe it's you.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah, maybe, uh...
[ sniffs ]
Maybe Mike shouldn't have
let me back on the team.
Maybe I was
a little too intense.
But that doesn't mean
I'm wrong.
Look into Angela.
You'll find the proof.
She's involved.
[ door closes ]
I want back in, Ghost.
I know you're back in,
so don't deny it.
I didn't want to bring
you into all of this.
I wanted more for you, Andre.
What about what
I want for me?
Let's take a walk.
[ dance music plays ]
*
Look, I lied to you about
the La Araña card, all right?
I thought it was Lobos,
but it was actually Dean.
The security dude?
Yeah, he's been posing
as security this whole time,
turns out to be
Vladimir's old connect, Milan.
Hold on, wait--hold on.
The nigga that eats people?
Yeah, look, we robbed him.
He's pissed.
He's forcing me and Tommy
to replace Vladimir.
We got to come up
with legit cash up front,
which is why
I can't pay Karen.
So that's why
you're back in.
But I'm not staying.
I need your help.
If you help me
get rid of Milan,
I'll give you half
the street business,
along with Tommy.
I can't do it alone.
You in, or you not?
Look, man, you know Tommy
not fucking with me, man.
Fuck all that.
You let me take
care of that.
Are you in?
What's our next move, man?
I need you to make
an anonymous tip
about a missing person--
Tatiana Boriskaya.
I'll get the cops
to handle the rest.
You're right. You're the only
one on your task force
who has none
of the markers of a mole.
So why am
I still sitting here?
All day I've been racking my
brain with that very question.
I think I've come up
with a reason.
You want to hear it?
Whoever helped escape Lobos
had a history with him.
Did you know that you have
worked the Lobos case
longer than
any AUSA or agent
in the entire
Department of Justice?
If I had a working
relationship with Lobos,
wouldn't that mean I'd want
to see him escaped and alive?
In my experience,
familiarity breeds contempt.
MJ, you're a lawyer.
I'm a lawyer.
We're trained to evaluate risk--
the worst-case scenario.
If I planned to have Lobos
killed and it went wrong,
how long would I survive?
How long would
my family survive?
Someone on this task force
took exactly that risk.
If not you, who?
You must have a thought,
an instinct.
I'm not going to throw
my people under the bus.
[ chuckles ]
You want to be
on this side of the table?
You want to get cleared?
Help us.
I'll see that Main Justice
hears about your cooperation.
Agent Knox thinks
Valdes is involved.
He's got an axe to grind
with her, but you don't.
Could he be right?
[ tense music ]
*
How much do you know
about Angela's relationship
with James St. Patrick?
[ distant rustling ]
Angela?
I just came to pick up
some things.
I was just packing
them for you.
You really fucked up.
You know that.
Paz, your sister will soon see
that I was just trying
to take care of her, all right?
- I was trying to protect her.
- Protect her?
Who teaches you men
that bullshit?
She loved you. She would
have done anything for you.
Yeah, I know.
You know she's always
been the smart one,
and now because of you,
she's doubting herself
about everything,
even work.
She's being questioned there
as we speak, over some fuck-up.
They practically
dragged her out of here
by her hair this morning.
Look, Paz, I ain't
a bad man, all right?
- I'm just--
- A man.
You got enough pussy.
You got bored. You moved on.
I get it.
Get out.
If I ever catch you
near my sister again,
I'll kill you
with my bare hands.
[ speaking Spanish ]
"I wish I were there too.
Love you, Jamie."
Agent Knox would kill
to read those texts.
You know he thinks you helped
St. Patrick to escape Lobos.
He also said the men
that attacked the transfer
knew about Lobo's GPS tracker.
I couldn't have told
anyone about that.
I didn't know about the tracker
until after they were hit.
Can you prove
you didn't know?
- No, but--
- Yeah, it's kind of hard
to prove a negative.
But it's all right.
I think Agent Knox
is dead wrong about you.
Thank you.
I think St. Patrick used you,
just like he did before.
I did not leak, lose,
or transmit any information
regarding Lobos's trial
or transfer.
He put your career at risk
to help Egan walk.
You forgave him,
took him back,
and now Lobos is dead.
You got duped again, sweetie.
Love will do that to you.
This has nothing
to do with love.
It has everything
to do with love.
[ chuckles ]
We are as strong
as they are--hell, stronger--
till we fall in love
and lose focus.
Then we fuck shit up,
and they know it.
When St. Patrick looked at you,
he didn't see a future judge,
future Attorney General.
He saw a typical woman--
a sucker.
He's the sucker, not me.
He didn't play me.
I played him.
I knew he was
in touch with Egan,
so I cloned his phone while
he slept in our hotel room.
That's a federal offense.
You're saying you slept
with St. Patrick to get Lobos?
Lobos would've slipped
right through our fingers again
if it weren't for me using
my special set of skills
to track Egan.
Agent Knox
couldn't find Lobos.
Mike was sure he had
the right location,
and Saxe was just
along for the ride.
They got it wrong.
I got it right.
Every action I've ever taken,
ethical or in the gray,
has been to mount Lobos's head
on a wall,
and I dare you to find
any evidence to the contrary.
I'll have to admit--
I'm impressed.
Thank you
for your cooperation, Angela.
You're free to go.
Wow.
We need to talk
to James St. Patrick.
Tommy? We didn't have a meeting
scheduled today, did we?
This about that thing
you were worried about before?
I found a way around it.
[ chuckles ]
See? Prayer works.
My life was good...
real good.
And then everything
got fucked up.
All I wanted was for everything
to go back to the way it was.
And I don't know
if I prayed, but I wished.
And it came true...
but not the way I wanted.
I want to take it all back.
I made a huge mistake,
and there's nothing
I can do to fix it.
We can't receive
God's forgiveness
unless we forgive ourselves.
Why would I ever want
to forgive myself?
[ safety clicks ]
My new connect
don't want you running guns
for the Albanians no more.
Those guns paid
for the soup kitchen.
Then have
a fucking bake sale.
He's a crazy motherfucker,
and he's gonna kill you
if you don't stop
running them guns.
- Tommy, I can't just stop--
- Let me save your life, Father.
Let me do
this one good thing.
Okay, no more guns.
Te voy a empacar
sus cosas, Angelita.
Gracias, Paz.
Good evening.
I'm calling on behalf
of Mr. St. Patrick.
You live uptown.
This ain't uptown.
I don't know why you think you
can keep showing up at my place.
Were you with Jamie at the
Odette Hotel night before last?
That's none of your business.
If you are covering
for him,
you could be charged
as an accomplice
in a conspiracy
to commit murder.
If you are found guilty,
you will lose your kids.
You will lose your home.
You will lose everything.
If you lie,
I can't protect you.
What's it gonna be?
[ sighs ]
No, you're right.
My husband
did murder something
when we were
at the Odette the other night.
Shoot, who am I telling?
You know how he is with it.
Nearly broke my damn back.
That's not true.
He wasn't there.
He was killing Felipe Lobos,
and don't pretend
you don't know who that is.
Ghost and I fucked, sweetie,
all night.
Matter of fact,
he's upstairs right now.
You want to call him
and ask him for yourself?
How could you
take him back?
I am his wife and the mother
of his children.
I never lost him.
So, whatever you think he did
the other night, he was with me.
You were
a midlife crisis, Angela.
Crisis over.
[ muttering indistinctly ]
You used to live in my apartment
when you was young?
A friend of mines did.
I was a block over.
Oh.
One second, sweetie.
Take all the time
you need.
[ cell phone vibrating ]
What you got?
Yo, G's crazy, dog.
Got me calling in
anonymous tips and shit.
Sounds familiar.
So you know Vladimir's
connect, Milan, right?
Yeah, the motherfucker
took over Ghost's business
right under his nose.
He needs my help
to get out from under.
I think he's scared, B.
Yo, I seen him scared before.
That ain't good for nobody.
Watch your back.
Here we go.
Hold on.
I sure do appreciate
you helping me.
[ grunts ]
What are you doing to me?
You no good piece of shit!
[ crying out ]
[ muffled cries ]
I'm back.
Yo, what's the plan, man?
KANAN:
It's already in motion.
I'm gonna give this nigga
a history lesson,
take him back in time.
[ ominous music ]
*
I wasn't even trying
to hit her, Dad.
I was just trying to
stop her from hitting me.
Sit up.
Listen to me.
You do not have the right
to put hands on your mother,
no matter what.
You owe her an apology
for your behavior.
Remember, we talked about it.
Real men apologize.
So you want me
to apologize to her
like I did
to your side bitch, right?
What the fuck did you just say
to me, little motherfucker?
Say it!
Riq.
Riq!
You made dinner plans
in my house without telling me?
[ American accent ]
Tasha, you've already
been introduced.
James, you remember
Tatiana.
She used to work at Truth.
Good to see
you again, Tatiana.
Yes.
It's nice to see you too.
Um, let me help
you with those.
Kids, dinner!
Just the adults, Tash.
No, I brought enough
for the children.
TASHA: Tatiana,
you can come with me.
Da.
- You have a beautiful home.
- Thank you.
Why are you here?
[ normal voice ]
You were looking
for Tatiana, were you not?
I considered it an invitation
to bring her to dinner.
It was very smart,
but I warned you.
[ American accent ]
You must be Raina.
I'm Dean.
I work for your father.
RAINA: Nice to meet you.
MILAN: Nice to meet you too.
Hey, Tariq.
How you doing?
Hi, Dean.
Come on, children,
let's have a meal.
MILAN: I told James
I wanted to meet the family
of my most important client.
Family's important to him,
and what's important to him
is important to me.
James. James.
Please, join us.
Come on.
And how you rolled ov--
And that shit with the cinnamon
was so bad that you made.
[ humming a tune ]
[ vehicle approaching ]
[ car doors open, close ]
What's up, big boy?
You want a piece of this?
[ Taser clicking,
Tommy grunting ]
[ ominous music ]
*
[ normal voice ]
You made the right choice,
paying me instead of Karen.
But I still need you
to find a way
to make the deal work.
Karen called it off.
Deal's over.
No, she likes you
and your three clubs.
Find a way.
I'm looking forward
to having you selling
my product in her hotels.
I'm not gonna sell drugs
in my clubs.
It's too risky.
I'm in your home,
with your family.
That is risk.
You have
too many attachments.
Attachments
make you vulnerable,
but you have made vulnerability
your strength.
[ exhales deeply ]
Think of them
the next time
you want to betray me.
[ speaking Serbian ]
He really thought
I was dead.
[ elevator bell dings ]
You have everything
to lose, Duse.
[ American accent ]
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you.
Take care.
MILAN:
Thank you.
What the fuck
is going on, Ghost?
What a fucking day.
I mean, first your bitch
comes by--
Whoa, whoa.
Angela came here?
Yes.
I alibied you.
- She knows about Lobos.
- Shit.
Is that why
you got us up here?
No, I got us up here
because fucking Milan
might be listening.
Milan?
Who the fuck is Milan?
Dean. Dean, who we just had
dinner with, Tasha.
He might be the
most dangerous man I ever met.
More dangerous than Kanan?
Kanan was a street thug.
Milan's a whole nother level.
[ grunts, breathing heavily ]
Off me, motherfuckers!
Come on!
Kill him.
[ ominous music ]
[ speaking Serbian ]
*
[ punches landing,
men grunting ]
Come on.
So you're telling me
that he hovered over you
this whole time
just 'cause you killed Vladimir?
Why didn't he just kill you?
What the fuck does he want?
He wants me to suffer.
What are we gonna do?
I think Milan made
a mistake today.
I'm gonna use it
to get us out.
[ punches landing,
Tommy grunting ]
[ wheezing ]
Callahan called off
the Albanians.
A tolerable compromise,
but not what I asked.
Vladimir was mistaken.
You are not simple...
but you are disobedient.
[ groans ]
Why do you want to die, Tommy?
Oh, this is about the girl.
[ quietly ]
Don't.
Just fucking do it.
I was wrong.
You have immense value.
You have nothing
to lose, Tommy.
This is the best time
to be alive.
[ knocking on door ]
Angela.
I can't stay long.
I might have been followed.
Yeah, Paz told me that they
brought you in for questioning.
You want to know
if I gave you up.
No, I want to know
if you're okay.
No, Jamie.
I'm not okay.
You killed Lobos,
and the DOJ thinks
I participated.
I need you to help me prove
that I'm innocent.
What are you talking about?
Someone gave you information
about Lobos' transfer
so that you could hit
the caravan and kill him.
I need to know who that was.
I need to know who told you
where he would be.
You used me.
As soon as you got rid of him
you got rid of me.
Admit it.
[ grunts ]
Get--
Don't--
Get the fuck off me!
I'm not wearing
a fucking wire.
And how am I supposed
to know that?
Because if you go down,
I go down.
I told you Lobos was alive.
That makes me technically part
of the criminal conspiracy
to commit this murder.
I didn't tell you
where he would be.
I didn't know.
That's why you have to help me
find who the real leak is.
Who was it?
I don't know what you're
talking about, Angela.
Eastern District
is investigating the murder.
If they figure out it was you,
it's gonna trace back to me.
[ distant siren wailing ]
You're gonna let me get
the death penalty
for something I didn't do.
Angie, don't say that.
[ inhales deeply ]
You told me
you didn't love me anymore,
but you lied.
You never loved me.
Angie, I do love you.
You know I love you.
Don't.
I'll fix this.
The only way to fix this
is to tell me who helped you.
Who helped you, Jamie?
Who told you
where Lobos would be?
If whoever murdered Lobos
had inside information,
I don't know
who he or she got it from.
Find out.
Angie, don't go.

Once I have all
the info you can contact
your associates on the outside
to make arrangements.

After I got popped,
they went straight
for Lobos's GPS tracker,
which means we've got
a big fucking leak.
[ cell phone vibrates ]
- Fuck, is that a phone?
Ghost, we said
no phones!
I need to end
this now, Tommy.

You picked Ghost over me.

- Nice to meet you.
Yo, he's been working

You'll have the total
amount for the buy-in
wired to you by the end
of the day today.
I'd be lying if I said that
your ability to scrape together
the cash so quickly
wasn't a factor
in my father's decision
to partner with you.
I've sacrificed
way too much, Karen,
to let some little money
get in the way.
Cheers.
And I got a feeling I'll
make it back in record time.
I bet you he won't be making
copies for much longer
once this deal goes through.
- You think so?
- Have you seen you?
We can't afford to
just have you
pushing papers in the back.
Well, thank you, Karen.
GHOST: That's definitely
my vision for Andre.
Kid's got a lot
of potential.
KAREN:
I got to run.
I'll see you later on for the
final walk-through with Dad?
Wouldn't miss it
for the world.
You have our full support
in your breach-of-duty
investigation
of my Lobos task force, MJ.
If someone leaked
details accidentally,
I guarantee
they're gonna cooperate.
We have no reason to
believe the Lobos escape
was a breach of duty.
This was a purposeful
leak of information.
We're here to investigate
criminal conspiracy.
Mr. Sandoval,
if you'll excuse us.
We'll be interviewing
you shortly.
I thought I'd be part of
the debrief of the task force.
Everybody on the task force
is on the suspect list.
MJ: Only way to get off
that list is to talk with us.
It's not personal.
Mike, go on ahead.
I'll take it from here.
Lobos escaped,
and he got himself killed
by a traitor
in his own ranks.
I admit someone
on our side had to be sloppy,
but it's a far cry
from intent.
It's breach of duty
at best.
No, actually, it's criminal
conspiracy to commit murder.
Lobos is dead,
and the cell phone
found on his person
links us to this office.
Lobos's burner cell received its
very first and very last call
just moments before
his estimated time of death
from a number ending
in 6453.
We pulled the records
for that phone.
Turns out that that number
made multiple calls
to only one other number
ending in 0148.
These are prepaid
burner cells,
but we're able to follow
the call pattern.
The 0148 number pinged
a cell tower near Teterboro.
Can you guess which tower
pinged the 6453 number?
The one right on top
of this building.
- Shit.
- My thoughts exactly.
Someone in this building was
involved with the Lobos escape,
and the only people
with relevant information
were on this task force.
One of your people
is dirty, David,
and I'm gonna find out
which one.
We get a new connect, and now
fucking Ghost is back in?
[ scoffs ]
What's that mean for me?
It means you still got a job.
Give me a fucking break, J.
It's been a minute, man.
Yeah, I wonder why.
Look, man, I was just
doing what I had to do.
All right, playboy.
[ chuckles ]
Julito.
I ain't working with that
Tony the Tiger-lookin'
motherfucker Dre.
No Dre, got it.
We can't talk here, Tommy.
Let's rap outside, all right?
Stay here, J.
We good.
- What's up, man?
- It's good.
Ghost get you off
the streets, huh?
- Shit, hell, yeah, man.
- You back in too?
It's not looking like it.
So you take care of it?
Huh?
You never came back
to the warehouse.
Oh.
Guess you didn't need
any help with Angela?
I handled it.
She still breathing?
Tommy, I ain't
under her roof,
which means I ain't
under her radar--it's over.
So you dumped
a female government agent.
Why don't you give me
a little warning
before I get arrested
this time?
Tommy, Angela's not
coming after us, man.
The Lobos task force is over.
Yeah, till
they find the body,
but we'll probably be chunks
in Milan's shit by then,
so it don't matter anyway.
Would you please check
your attitude, man?
I'm serious.
You're gonna get us both killed.
Tommy, Milan
should've killed us.
We don't even know what game
we're playing here.
We got to stick together,
until we know
how to play him
or until he slips up,
then we get him.
What if he don't slip up?
Everyone does eventually.
Hey, you need me to go along
for whatever's going down?
No, you good, Andre.
Just hang back, all right?
Fuck.
Inside.
Not him.
You good, T?
Just go back to the spot.
Check out the new product.
I'll meet you there,
after all this bullshit.

Tariq, come on!
Let's go.
Oh, my God.
All Dr. Hong wants to do
is talk about my feelings.
- It's so stupid.
- I know, baby.
But you only have
two more sessions to finish,
and you can go
back to school.
Don't you want to see
your father at Career Day?
No. And you hate him too,
so why do you even care?
Riq, come here.
I do not hate
your father.
Yes, you do. God, you're such
a fucking liar, just like him.
Boy, you better get
your black ass
to your room right now!
You lost your goddamn mind!
Ghost, I need you
to call me back
as soon as
you get this message.
You better come over here
and talk to your child
before I kill him
my damn self.
You've been interviewed
by the OPR before, haven't you?
When Lobos's California distro
was murdered in your custody,
along with two marshals?
I was investigated,
as a formality, and cleared.
But I was never a suspect.
There was no indication
I was involved.
I had none of the markers
of being compromised--
no sudden increase in wealth,
points of pressure,
or connections to criminals
or criminal activity.
So you know nothing
about the cell phone
found at the Lobos
murder scene?
No, I don't know
about the phone.
I don't know anything
about what happened to Lobos
after the caravan was hit.
Let's talk about that,
the logistics
of Lobos's transfer.
It says here that after Lobos
agreed to flip on the Jimenez,
you got the official
request from DC?
I got the request,
but Valdes filed
the paperwork.
Yes, Mike told me
about the transfer request
and asked me
to file the paperwork.
It's only your signature
on the documents.
Did you keep a copy
of the transfer order
for your own records,
take it home maybe?
I filed the paperwork and
left all copies here, ma'am.
We were under strict orders
that all documents
associated with the John Doe
prosecution of Lobos
were not to
leave the building.
But you're not a big fan
of the rules, right, Valdes?
I mean, using a minor
to identify
a dangerous
narcotics suspect?
Turning a sex offender
into a criminal informant?
You break the rules
all the time.
Where were you when you learned
that Lobos had escaped?
I was in the van
with Felipe Lobos
when we were ambushed.
You survived the shot
to the chest.
- Two, Agent Donovan.
LANCE: Your vest protected you,
but I've been thinking,
why didn't they shoot you
in the head?
MJ: You claimed
in your report
that the Lobos escape
was an inside job.
There's not a doubt
in my mind.
What makes you say that?
DONOVAN: Agent Knox
reported that Lobos
anticipated the hit
on the caravan
and that the men
that helped him to escape
knew where to find
the GPS tracker.
Agent Donovan, you weren't
originally assigned
to this task force.
Why were you brought
on the case?
Did you request
more involvement with Lobos?
No, Agent Donovan,
there was an incident
between Knox and
an AUSA on the task force.
Angela and Greg had
a romantic relationship.
They thought it was a secret,
but everybody knew.
It ended.
I don't know. I don't care.
I can't really speak
to their interpersonal problems.
Probably because
you're too distracted
with interpersonal
problems of your own.
I-I-I never bring my issues
to the office.
I'm not sure there's
enough space in here
for what you're into.
[ chuckles ]
W--You...
you guys--you keep
a file on that?
We keep a file on everything.
Tell us what happened
with Knox and Valdes, Mr. Saxe.
All I know is Greg
was suspended
because Angela accused him
of stalking her.
Then one day Greg's
waltzing in with Vibora Ruiz,
and he's back on the task force
like he never left.
Valdes had no objection to
Knox's return to the task force,
and Ruiz was a valuable asset
for the Lobos case.
He would only work
with Agent Knox.
I had no choice.
Did you ever speak
of the John Doe prosecution
of Felipe Lobos
outside of the task force?
- No.
- No.
- No.
- No.
Uh, I was in communication
with Agent Knox
while he was suspended,
but I never told him
about our John Doe prosecution.
I follow protocol.
I was being a nice guy.
Knox was a little fucked up,
over-focused on the case...
on Valdes, really,
but it was on the case.
MJ: Can you tell me why you were
so eager to obtain Mr. Ruiz,
even though
you were suspended?
- I wanted justice.
- For?
Myself. I had a theory,
and Ruiz could prove
that I was right and that
I didn't deserve my suspension.
So you weren't following
AUSA Valdes
during your suspension?
Oh, no, I was.
I was following her,
but only because I thought
she was involved
with our suspects.
I mean, how the hell else
did she have
the right address
for the Lobos meet?
An anonymous tip.
You initially reported
that you had an unofficial tail
placed on him.
An anonymous tip
would've seemed unreliable.
I needed to convince Mike
to move the team
in a short
amount of time.
- So you lied.
- I lied. We got our guy.
Back to your rules
problem again.
Shouldn't we be talking
about how to find Lobos?
If we could extradite him--
We know where Lobos is.
That's not the problem.
Felipe Lobos is dead.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck.
MIKE:
Lobos had many enemies.
I'm not at all surprised.
- He was killed.
- Murdered, yes.
- You seem upset.
- Of course I'm upset.
I had hopes
for the future...
that we would find Lobos
and try him,
but now that's
completely fucked.
[ breathes deeply ]
Can I have a break?
You sold drugs, saved your
money, started a family,
moved to Manhattan,
and made investments.
This is
the American dream, no?
Then you took from me,
and you killed the head
of my network,
and now you are here,
enslaved to me.
Yeah, Chefe.
Motherfucker Googled
the shit out of you.
Yo, This Is Your Life,
you gonna do me next?
Duse, you will distribute
to your high-end clientele
as well as oversee
your deputy's distribution
to Shin, Cristobal, and Poncho.
I look like
a deputy to you?
Yes, Chefe.
- Any questions?
TOMMY: I got one.
You really eat people?
You gonna answer
my question?
Vladimir said you were simple,
but he liked you anyway.
I cannot comprehend why.
[ exhales deeply ]
[ sighs ]
Used to having the bathroom
to yourself, huh?
I guess so.
Never thought about it.
I had my own bathroom
when I worked criminal
at Georgia Northern.
The ladies' was my refuge
from all the eye-fucking
and ass-grabbing.
It's not so bad here.
Believe it or not...
I kind of miss those days.
You still got that
certain set of skills
that makes them listen
to you when you talk.
Turn 40, they turn
into Helen Keller.
A word of advice--
take that ass to General Crimes
and make a case.
Get a bench before
you turn into a pumpkin.
I was thinking...
The Jimenez tried
to kill Lobos before
when he was in lockdown,
but failed.
Do you think they
finally finished the task?
Lobos's murder investigation
is not my problem.
And it's not yours either.
But you'll get your answer
soon enough.
Eastern District's
been assigned
to figure out
who pulled the trigger.
And when they do, it's gonna
lead them right back here.
So how the fuck
he know about this place?
I know about everything.
What the mother fuck is this?
There you will find
the product
for your primeras
as we discussed.
No more Father Callahan.
He runs guns for the...
[ speaking Serbian ]
Fuck the guns.
His kids move a shit-ton
of product,
undetected on account
of their uniforms.
Ah, getting rid of Callahan
is bad for business.
You're right, Tommy.
This is business.
Do not fire Callahan.
Kill him.
I ain't gonna kill
the motherfucker
just 'cause you say so.
We also have
your product, Duse.
I will require you to sell
it in your nightclubs.
Surely there's another
way to punish him.
[ whispering indistinctly
in Serbian ]
What I'm saying is I can push
just as much product
in the street,
with fewer consequences.
[ grunting and choking ]
[ neck snaps ]
He did not follow
my instructions.
I will require a cashier's check
made out to my security company
for the full cost
of the product...
by the end of the day.
Chefe, you got to let us pay
you double next delivery.
All of our clean money's
tied up.
[ American accent ]
Karen Bassett will
wait, right, James?
Get your men to work.
[ speaking Serbian ]
He knows everything
about our business.
He's forcing us to run it
instead of just taking it, man.
To what end?
So he don't have to do it.
You heard him.
We're his slaves.
Listen, Tommy,
all my clean money's tied up.
You got enough to float us?
Nah. But you can
have my share.
I ain't paying up front
for an untested product.
Milan will have to deal.
Tommy, a man like that
doesn't fucking deal.
You see what he just did
to his boy?
Once upon a time,
you were the one
warning me not to cross him.
Now all of a sudden,
you all about it?
What the fuck
is up with you?
What the fuck
is up with you--
rolling over
like a little bitch?
You really gonna deal
in your club?
All I'm saying is, for now,
we got to do what he says.
We wet Callahan,
we go to the bank,
we pay the motherfucker,
then we sit back,
and we wait to see what
our next move is gonna be.
Look, man, I can't get
out of this shit alone.
I don't care what the Serbian
Hannibal Lecter says, Ghost,
you ain't my
fucking boss.
I've been running things
since you left.
I'll handle this
my own way.
First the gun, now this.
He's just
getting worse, Ghost.
If he'll raise a hand to me,
the worst is yet to come.
Okay, Tasha, as soon as the boy
gets back from therapy,
I'll talk to him, all right?
I'll get him straight.
Yeah, well, good thing,
'cause you're the one
that got him crooked.
You know,
he's still torn up
over the Knicks game
you took away.
I told you--
something came up.
Something more important
than your son?
I know you ain't gonna
tell me what it was.
Do you even know
how to tell the truth anymore?
Okay, Tasha.
You want the truth?
Please.
Here it is.
I need your help.
I got
the Karen Bassett contract.
The problem is,
I'm short on money.
Did you not just brag to me
about having the cash
when we were at her hotel?
- What happened?
- Some unexpected bills.
[ scoffs ]
So, look, I just need
a short-term loan
from the IRA
and the kids' trust,
but I can't do it
until I get your permission
since you're
the co-signatory.
- Mm-mm, no.
- What?
I'm not doing it.
Look, Tasha, you know I will
have it back to you right away.
Tasha, I would not be standing
here in front of you pleading
if I had another option.
Seems to me you
got another option.
Shouldn't you be asking
that other woman for help?
All that lawyer money she got?
Um, I can't--
I can't ask Angela, okay?
We--we're no longer together.
I ended it.
I don't want to get
into it right now.
I'm asking you.
I need the money.
The tax penalties
will be ridiculous.
- No, 'cause we--
- The club shit is speculative.
And I know you, Ghost.
Things go south
with the clubs,
you're gonna put all
the Lobos cash right into them,
and the kids take a hit.
You'll forget all
about putting the money back.
Tasha, I would never
steal from the kids.
Those are our kids,
all right?
I'm sorry. I'm not betting
their future on yours.
Find another way.
Tariq will be back
this afternoon.
Oh, fuck, man!
- You lied to me.
- What the fuck
you talking about?
You said Ghost was out and not
fucking with Tommy no more.
What was that I saw
out front this morning, then?
Yo, I just found out
my own self, man.
I swear to God,
I'm not playing you.
You know this nigga--
he always keeps a secret.
I'm out in the cold
just like you.
Swear to God.
It's time for you
to get inside,
find out what it is
he's up to, fast.
I don't know how much longer
I can lay in the cut.
You need to get
the fuck out of here, man.
There's all kind of eyes
watching, all right?
I'll call you.
I'll call you.
KAREN:
What do you think, Daddy?
Oh, I think
the "Stern-vanquisher"
is going to make
a fantastic partner.
Thank you, sir.
Hopefully I can parlay
that high esteem into a favor.
What is it, James?
I had a misunderstanding
with another associate, Karen,
so, unfortunately, I'm gonna
need a few more weeks
to come up with the money,
but not a big deal.
I will then bring you
a wheelbarrow full of cash,
plus the penalty, sir.
What happened?
You had the money this morning.
- An unforeseeable reversal.
HORATIO: James...
my stockholders are expecting
to hear certain numbers
on my earnings report
at the end of the quarter,
and I can't deliver it
without your cash investment.
It's clear to me
you're in no financial shape
to join our group.
He's got till
the end of the day, Dad.
I know this means
a lot to you, James.
Get the money.
[ sighs ]
What is this for?
It's for, um--
I'll tell you later.
Thank you, T.
Tommy, why'd you
do that to Holly?
Ghost told me
what happened.
He did?
I thought you would've done
better than that.
I feel responsible.
I told her to tell you.
You knew?
I thought
you would've been cool,
but you flipped out, right?
Now she's out there, alone,
pregnant with your child.
Pregnant.
Probably already halfway
to Ohio by now.
Are you gonna at least
try to find her?
Listen, if you wait too long,
it'll probably be too late.
- I got to get out of here.
- You gonna go find her?
Yeah, maybe.
I got to deliver this.
Tommy, are you okay?
Call me, okay?
You've accused Valdes
of interfering
with the Lobos case
to help St. Patrick save
his friend Egan from prison.
But that argument
doesn't really apply
to Lobos's escape.
Egan's already in the clear.
Right, but she's fucking
James St. Patrick.
Maybe he wanted Lobos dead.
Why would St. Patrick
want that, Agent Knox?
We have no proof
that St. Patrick
is directly
involved with Lobos.
And there's no law
against AUSA Valdes having
a relationship with him.
So she's just gonna
get away with it.
Valdes didn't break the law,
Agent Knox.
She broke your heart.
Isn't that why you wanted
back on the task force,
to catch Valdes?
And then when you couldn't,
maybe you snapped.
Maybe you set up
Lobos's murder,
thinking you could pin
all this on her,
get back at her
for ruining your career,
for falling in love
with somebody else.
You keep saying
there's an inside man.
Maybe it's you.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah, maybe, uh...
[ sniffs ]
Maybe Mike shouldn't have
let me back on the team.
Maybe I was
a little too intense.
But that doesn't mean
I'm wrong.
Look into Angela.
You'll find the proof.
She's involved.
[ door closes ]
I want back in, Ghost.
I know you're back in,
so don't deny it.
I didn't want to bring
you into all of this.
I wanted more for you, Andre.
What about what
I want for me?
Let's take a walk.
[ dance music plays ]
*
Look, I lied to you about
the La Araña card, all right?
I thought it was Lobos,
but it was actually Dean.
The security dude?
Yeah, he's been posing
as security this whole time,
turns out to be
Vladimir's old connect, Milan.
Hold on, wait--hold on.
The nigga that eats people?
Yeah, look, we robbed him.
He's pissed.
He's forcing me and Tommy
to replace Vladimir.
We got to come up
with legit cash up front,
which is why
I can't pay Karen.
So that's why
you're back in.
But I'm not staying.
I need your help.
If you help me
get rid of Milan,
I'll give you half
the street business,
along with Tommy.
I can't do it alone.
You in, or you not?
Look, man, you know Tommy
not fucking with me, man.
Fuck all that.
You let me take
care of that.
Are you in?
What's our next move, man?
I need you to make
an anonymous tip
about a missing person--
Tatiana Boriskaya.
I'll get the cops
to handle the rest.
You're right. You're the only
one on your task force
who has none
of the markers of a mole.
So why am
I still sitting here?
All day I've been racking my
brain with that very question.
I think I've come up
with a reason.
You want to hear it?
Whoever helped escape Lobos
had a history with him.
Did you know that you have
worked the Lobos case
longer than
any AUSA or agent
in the entire
Department of Justice?
If I had a working
relationship with Lobos,
wouldn't that mean I'd want
to see him escaped and alive?
In my experience,
familiarity breeds contempt.
MJ, you're a lawyer.
I'm a lawyer.
We're trained to evaluate risk--
the worst-case scenario.
If I planned to have Lobos
killed and it went wrong,
how long would I survive?
How long would
my family survive?
Someone on this task force
took exactly that risk.
If not you, who?
You must have a thought,
an instinct.
I'm not going to throw
my people under the bus.
[ chuckles ]
You want to be
on this side of the table?
You want to get cleared?
Help us.
I'll see that Main Justice
hears about your cooperation.
Agent Knox thinks
Valdes is involved.
He's got an axe to grind
with her, but you don't.
Could he be right?
[ tense music ]
*
How much do you know
about Angela's relationship
with James St. Patrick?
[ distant rustling ]
Angela?
I just came to pick up
some things.
I was just packing
them for you.
You really fucked up.
You know that.
Paz, your sister will soon see
that I was just trying
to take care of her, all right?
- I was trying to protect her.
- Protect her?
Who teaches you men
that bullshit?
She loved you. She would
have done anything for you.
Yeah, I know.
You know she's always
been the smart one,
and now because of you,
she's doubting herself
about everything,
even work.
She's being questioned there
as we speak, over some fuck-up.
They practically
dragged her out of here
by her hair this morning.
Look, Paz, I ain't
a bad man, all right?
- I'm just--
- A man.
You got enough pussy.
You got bored. You moved on.
I get it.
Get out.
If I ever catch you
near my sister again,
I'll kill you
with my bare hands.
[ speaking Spanish ]
"I wish I were there too.
Love you, Jamie."
Agent Knox would kill
to read those texts.
You know he thinks you helped
St. Patrick to escape Lobos.
He also said the men
that attacked the transfer
knew about Lobo's GPS tracker.
I couldn't have told
anyone about that.
I didn't know about the tracker
until after they were hit.
Can you prove
you didn't know?
- No, but--
- Yeah, it's kind of hard
to prove a negative.
But it's all right.
I think Agent Knox
is dead wrong about you.
Thank you.
I think St. Patrick used you,
just like he did before.
I did not leak, lose,
or transmit any information
regarding Lobos's trial
or transfer.
He put your career at risk
to help Egan walk.
You forgave him,
took him back,
and now Lobos is dead.
You got duped again, sweetie.
Love will do that to you.
This has nothing
to do with love.
It has everything
to do with love.
[ chuckles ]
We are as strong
as they are--hell, stronger--
till we fall in love
and lose focus.
Then we fuck shit up,
and they know it.
When St. Patrick looked at you,
he didn't see a future judge,
future Attorney General.
He saw a typical woman--
a sucker.
He's the sucker, not me.
He didn't play me.
I played him.
I knew he was
in touch with Egan,
so I cloned his phone while
he slept in our hotel room.
That's a federal offense.
You're saying you slept
with St. Patrick to get Lobos?
Lobos would've slipped
right through our fingers again
if it weren't for me using
my special set of skills
to track Egan.
Agent Knox
couldn't find Lobos.
Mike was sure he had
the right location,
and Saxe was just
along for the ride.
They got it wrong.
I got it right.
Every action I've ever taken,
ethical or in the gray,
has been to mount Lobos's head
on a wall,
and I dare you to find
any evidence to the contrary.
I'll have to admit--
I'm impressed.
Thank you
for your cooperation, Angela.
You're free to go.
Wow.
We need to talk
to James St. Patrick.
Tommy? We didn't have a meeting
scheduled today, did we?
This about that thing
you were worried about before?
I found a way around it.
[ chuckles ]
See? Prayer works.
My life was good...
real good.
And then everything
got fucked up.
All I wanted was for everything
to go back to the way it was.
And I don't know
if I prayed, but I wished.
And it came true...
but not the way I wanted.
I want to take it all back.
I made a huge mistake,
and there's nothing
I can do to fix it.
We can't receive
God's forgiveness
unless we forgive ourselves.
Why would I ever want
to forgive myself?
[ safety clicks ]
My new connect
don't want you running guns
for the Albanians no more.
Those guns paid
for the soup kitchen.
Then have
a fucking bake sale.
He's a crazy motherfucker,
and he's gonna kill you
if you don't stop
running them guns.
- Tommy, I can't just stop--
- Let me save your life, Father.
Let me do
this one good thing.
Okay, no more guns.
Te voy a empacar
sus cosas, Angelita.
Gracias, Paz.
Good evening.
I'm calling on behalf
of Mr. St. Patrick.
You live uptown.
This ain't uptown.
I don't know why you think you
can keep showing up at my place.
Were you with Jamie at the
Odette Hotel night before last?
That's none of your business.
If you are covering
for him,
you could be charged
as an accomplice
in a conspiracy
to commit murder.
If you are found guilty,
you will lose your kids.
You will lose your home.
You will lose everything.
If you lie,
I can't protect you.
What's it gonna be?
[ sighs ]
No, you're right.
My husband
did murder something
when we were
at the Odette the other night.
Shoot, who am I telling?
You know how he is with it.
Nearly broke my damn back.
That's not true.
He wasn't there.
He was killing Felipe Lobos,
and don't pretend
you don't know who that is.
Ghost and I fucked, sweetie,
all night.
Matter of fact,
he's upstairs right now.
You want to call him
and ask him for yourself?
How could you
take him back?
I am his wife and the mother
of his children.
I never lost him.
So, whatever you think he did
the other night, he was with me.
You were
a midlife crisis, Angela.
Crisis over.
[ muttering indistinctly ]
You used to live in my apartment
when you was young?
A friend of mines did.
I was a block over.
Oh.
One second, sweetie.
Take all the time
you need.
[ cell phone vibrating ]
What you got?
Yo, G's crazy, dog.
Got me calling in
anonymous tips and shit.
Sounds familiar.
So you know Vladimir's
connect, Milan, right?
Yeah, the motherfucker
took over Ghost's business
right under his nose.
He needs my help
to get out from under.
I think he's scared, B.
Yo, I seen him scared before.
That ain't good for nobody.
Watch your back.
Here we go.
Hold on.
I sure do appreciate
you helping me.
[ grunts ]
What are you doing to me?
You no good piece of shit!
[ crying out ]
[ muffled cries ]
I'm back.
Yo, what's the plan, man?
KANAN:
It's already in motion.
I'm gonna give this nigga
a history lesson,
take him back in time.
[ ominous music ]
*
I wasn't even trying
to hit her, Dad.
I was just trying to
stop her from hitting me.
Sit up.
Listen to me.
You do not have the right
to put hands on your mother,
no matter what.
You owe her an apology
for your behavior.
Remember, we talked about it.
Real men apologize.
So you want me
to apologize to her
like I did
to your side bitch, right?
What the fuck did you just say
to me, little motherfucker?
Say it!
Riq.
Riq!
You made dinner plans
in my house without telling me?
[ American accent ]
Tasha, you've already
been introduced.
James, you remember
Tatiana.
She used to work at Truth.
Good to see
you again, Tatiana.
Yes.
It's nice to see you too.
Um, let me help
you with those.
Kids, dinner!
Just the adults, Tash.
No, I brought enough
for the children.
TASHA: Tatiana,
you can come with me.
Da.
- You have a beautiful home.
- Thank you.
Why are you here?
[ normal voice ]
You were looking
for Tatiana, were you not?
I considered it an invitation
to bring her to dinner.
It was very smart,
but I warned you.
[ American accent ]
You must be Raina.
I'm Dean.
I work for your father.
RAINA: Nice to meet you.
MILAN: Nice to meet you too.
Hey, Tariq.
How you doing?
Hi, Dean.
Come on, children,
let's have a meal.
MILAN: I told James
I wanted to meet the family
of my most important client.
Family's important to him,
and what's important to him
is important to me.
James. James.
Please, join us.
Come on.
And how you rolled ov--
And that shit with the cinnamon
was so bad that you made.
[ humming a tune ]
[ vehicle approaching ]
[ car doors open, close ]
What's up, big boy?
You want a piece of this?
[ Taser clicking,
Tommy grunting ]
[ ominous music ]
*
[ normal voice ]
You made the right choice,
paying me instead of Karen.
But I still need you
to find a way
to make the deal work.
Karen called it off.
Deal's over.
No, she likes you
and your three clubs.
Find a way.
I'm looking forward
to having you selling
my product in her hotels.
I'm not gonna sell drugs
in my clubs.
It's too risky.
I'm in your home,
with your family.
That is risk.
You have
too many attachments.
Attachments
make you vulnerable,
but you have made vulnerability
your strength.
[ exhales deeply ]
Think of them
the next time
you want to betray me.
[ speaking Serbian ]
He really thought
I was dead.
[ elevator bell dings ]
You have everything
to lose, Duse.
[ American accent ]
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you.
Take care.
MILAN:
Thank you.
What the fuck
is going on, Ghost?
What a fucking day.
I mean, first your bitch
comes by--
Whoa, whoa.
Angela came here?
Yes.
I alibied you.
- She knows about Lobos.
- Shit.
Is that why
you got us up here?
No, I got us up here
because fucking Milan
might be listening.
Milan?
Who the fuck is Milan?
Dean. Dean, who we just had
dinner with, Tasha.
He might be the
most dangerous man I ever met.
More dangerous than Kanan?
Kanan was a street thug.
Milan's a whole nother level.
[ grunts, breathing heavily ]
Off me, motherfuckers!
Come on!
Kill him.
[ ominous music ]
[ speaking Serbian ]
*
[ punches landing,
men grunting ]
Come on.
So you're telling me
that he hovered over you
this whole time
just 'cause you killed Vladimir?
Why didn't he just kill you?
What the fuck does he want?
He wants me to suffer.
What are we gonna do?
I think Milan made
a mistake today.
I'm gonna use it
to get us out.
[ punches landing,
Tommy grunting ]
[ wheezing ]
Callahan called off
the Albanians.
A tolerable compromise,
but not what I asked.
Vladimir was mistaken.
You are not simple...
but you are disobedient.
[ groans ]
Why do you want to die, Tommy?
Oh, this is about the girl.
[ quietly ]
Don't.
Just fucking do it.
I was wrong.
You have immense value.
You have nothing
to lose, Tommy.
This is the best time
to be alive.
[ knocking on door ]
Angela.
I can't stay long.
I might have been followed.
Yeah, Paz told me that they
brought you in for questioning.
You want to know
if I gave you up.
No, I want to know
if you're okay.
No, Jamie.
I'm not okay.
You killed Lobos,
and the DOJ thinks
I participated.
I need you to help me prove
that I'm innocent.
What are you talking about?
Someone gave you information
about Lobos' transfer
so that you could hit
the caravan and kill him.
I need to know who that was.
I need to know who told you
where he would be.
You used me.
As soon as you got rid of him
you got rid of me.
Admit it.
[ grunts ]
Get--
Don't--
Get the fuck off me!
I'm not wearing
a fucking wire.
And how am I supposed
to know that?
Because if you go down,
I go down.
I told you Lobos was alive.
That makes me technically part
of the criminal conspiracy
to commit this murder.
I didn't tell you
where he would be.
I didn't know.
That's why you have to help me
find who the real leak is.
Who was it?
I don't know what you're
talking about, Angela.
Eastern District
is investigating the murder.
If they figure out it was you,
it's gonna trace back to me.
[ distant siren wailing ]
You're gonna let me get
the death penalty
for something I didn't do.
Angie, don't say that.
[ inhales deeply ]
You told me
you didn't love me anymore,
but you lied.
You never loved me.
Angie, I do love you.
You know I love you.
Don't.
I'll fix this.
The only way to fix this
is to tell me who helped you.
Who helped you, Jamie?
Who told you
where Lobos would be?
If whoever murdered Lobos
had inside information,
I don't know
who he or she got it from.
Find out.
Angie, don't go.
[ door slams ]
