Power Book IV: Force (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Take Me Home - full transcript
Previously on Force...
You clockin' my city.
It gonna be a problem if I am?
Only one way to find out.
Let's find out then.
Think again, mano.
I need you and you need me.
So it's 50-50.
50-50.
You think you throw that big
of a shadow
that the Chicago Serbs
got you on they list?
Maybe my old partner
killed they boss.
If this nigga Tommy is on
some type of suicide mission,
nigga, then fuck him.
Now, I didn't run this shit
for 15 years
just to stand by
and watch you on the tank,
headed to motherfuckin' battle
with this dude.
Came here to tell you
that I wanna work together.
You're about
to become obsolete.
I've got something
that'll kick your teeth in
a thousand times over.
Just wanna make sure
I'm partnering
with the right Flynn.
You are.
How about I kill you,
and we're even?
And just like that, I'm up 6-0.
Storm's coming.
It's already here.
Your little sidekick
killed two of my men.
What if New York were to hear
that Tommy Egan is in Chicago?
You never should
have mentioned New York.
Rodovan Mirkovic.
They gotta call him.
Shit's all the way fucked.
I want
that pipeline in Chicago.
I want them gone.
You got the coke,
they got the inroads.
You got one swing
with that machete.
You better meditate or pray
or do whatever you can
to seek the answers on this.
'Cause once you start it...
it can't be undone.
I hear you got a storm coming.
If you drag my son Victor
down into your world of shite,
I'm gonna bring
the big shoulders of Chicago
down upon thy's head.
Why you laying down
tracks here, anyway?
Ghost is gone.
New York is over.
This my chance to get mines.
Creeping up on me twice,
it's a great way
to get yourself killed.
I'm not too worried.
You should be.
You got other eyes on me?
Just mine.
You're jumpy.
I'm prepared.
- For?
- Anything.
Not this.
No one's prepared for it.
You know why?
'Cause no one's ever seen
anything like this.
Yeah, that's a cool
party trick.
This drug
goes beyond chemistry.
It's fucking alchemy.
And you ain't got
no way to move it, do ya?
You got that big fucking
Flynn name, but no distro.
You see, in this game,
there's the suckers
that walk into the buzzsaw
and the motherfuckers
holding it.
Welcome to my buzzsaw.
Maybe I should sample it.
Get an insider's perspective.
No, I need
your science brain firing.
Just take my word for it.
Best high I ever had.
That's a big claim.
No cap, best.
No harsh crash,
no cotton mouth,
no aftershocks at all.
It had a trippy-ass vibe,
but not like MDMA.
Warmer, like mushrooms,
with the kick
of nice, clean coke.
You make me wanna
drive my face right into this.
No, no. Not yet.
You think you can
break this shit down?
- See what the fuck we got?
- Mm.
It's a granular texture.
It's finer than coke.
Yeah.
- How were the drips?
- I didn't snort it.
- Did it burn your lungs?
- I didn't smoke it.
Anything chemically
come through?
Chemically?
Chinga madre.
Does it have an aftertaste?
No. Kind hard to tell.
I mostly tasted lipstick.
You wanna tell me more
about that?
- No.
- Okay. Fuck it, then.
No, no, no, no, no! Okay.
I was kissed into it. For real.
Adorable. By whom?
Claudia Flynn.
Th-that's a great sales pitch.
It was a little over the top.
You liked it.
Will you please
just step on this shit?
Let's see what the fuck we got.
I would buy drugs, too,
if Claudia Flynn kissed me.
Just-just step on this shit.
Go get your bag.
All right. Let's start easy.
Hey, Sampson.
Get over here.
Get up against the car.
I said get up
against the fucking car.
- Come on.
- So what?
Jogging is a crime too now?
Lace 'em. Lace 'em!
Get the fuck in the car.
Get in the fucking car
right now.
You been
coming to me like
we know each other
or something.
Like we got
some kind of history.
Your bad batch in '06
killed five people.
I pulled that off the streets
as soon as I knew
it was cut toxic.
It wasn't soon enough.
You know the name Kiki Watkins?
I don't.
She's one of the people
whose lives
will never be the same
because of you.
I spent 15 years making amends.
You convicts.
You always talk about how
you found God or Jesus
or whatever the fuck.
And we're all supposed
to just go along
for the spiritual ride
with you, is that right?
Well, what about you?
What about me?
Are you gonna change?
Or are you just gonna continue
to take that white man's money
to look the other way?
How the fuck
do you know about that?
Don't matter how I know.
Only matters
that other cops don't.
See, there were a few
dirty cops inside with me.
Y'all don't do so well
in there.
Get the fuck out of my car.
We both got a past
that we can't do nothing about.
All we can do is move forward.
- Mm-hmm.
- Sure.
No way.
It's the burn.
That nigga Diamond
handed me the kingdom
when I ain't really know shit
about the game.
But I learned, right?
I evolved. Eclipsed, nigga.
For sure.
And now I'm watching
these moves he makin'
with that white boy,
and I can't lie, bro.
Shit hurt, E. That shit hurt.
I feel that.
Nigga, I ain't put in
all this motherfucking time
making us stronger to be
disrespected, disregarded.
Bro, it was supposed
to be us two
when that nigga came home
from jail, bro.
You feel me?
The real brothers of CBI.
Everything been fucked up
since that motherfucker Tommy
came around.
If you don't wanna fuck
with Diamond, nigga,
let's bounce,
start our own shit.
Nah, fuck that.
I ain't breaking this shit.
I put in 15 years,
I ain't moving away
from none of this shit, nigga.
CBI is just as much mine
as it is his.
Who fucking cares?
Tatiana was weak.
Damn.
We only have a few runs left.
Yeah, no, I know.
I can see that.
Look, if I can get you
more product,
could you keep digging
'til you get the cut right?
Yeah. Yeah.
I ain't giving up on this.
Cool. Fuck it.
I'ma get you more.
- Gracias.
- You're welcome.
The fuck is you smirking at?
We're, like,
basically partners now, huh?
Oh. Fuck no, we ain't partners.
You must have caught
a contact high.
Now that the Serbs know
where you at,
how I'm gonna keep you safe?
I don't need protection.
You need a new zip code.
Look, why don't you take...
why don't you just take all
the bricks that we got and go?
I could set you up
in a few spots.
Not looking to be set up.
You need to get
the fuck out of Chicago.
I'm staying.
Besides,
once I crack this drug,
no end to what you
and me can make.
You ain't listening.
There ain't no you and me.
We have history.
Once two people have that,
they have a you and a me.
Will you do exactly what I say?
- Yes.
- You don't go nowhere,
you don't do nothing
without telling me first.
Yes.
- You keep working.
- Yes!
Okay. Don't hit it.
Bring me back extra, then.
- I ain't playing.
- Okay, bye. Go.
You haven't moved Dahlia
like you promised.
I need to move
our distros methodically.
Why?
What the fuck
are you waiting for?
We have to be smart about this.
We don't want other dealers
knowing about this.
Fuck other dealers.
We need to get this moving now.
- I get that.
- Do you?
'Cause you're not
acting like it.
Mai.
If you can't give me
what I need,
I can take this somewhere else.
To someone else.
Everyone in the city's
gonna want it.
I heard you making some noise
by taking out part
of the Serbian machine.
Tatiana's high on the list.
Yeah, well, she had to go.
You go in there undermanned,
you really don't
stand a chance.
Look, I know the Serbs
is coming for me,
but say I go in there
with a bunch
of hard-hitting
South Side soldiers...
Then you stand
a real fighting chance.
Look at us back on
the same page and shit.
How much this fighting chance
gonna cost me?
You a smart motherfucker.
You don't make a single move
without knowing what
the next five are gonna be.
The man without the plan
is the dead man in the room.
So what you want?
A controlling stake
in the Serb pipeline
and at least 51%.
Ooh, that's a big percent.
You'll get
a big hammer behind you.
Yo, I wanna make this deal.
Problem is,
I don't control 50%.
He got a piece too.
You know the moves
he's asking for?
I do.
I already made two of them.
Yeah.
He bodied Tatiana's muscle.
Kid's a good shot.
- Five dead Serbs.
- And that's a good start.
And like I said, all we gotta
do now is chop the head off.
And you swing that axe with us,
and the money don't stop.
And we control the pipeline
to the entire West Side
of the city.
You see the Serbs
usually roll in packs of six?
- Hmm. They're smart.
- Yeah, very.
They get arrested, only a few
get locked up at a time.
They get jumped,
only a few go down.
The city's deep with 'em,
so we gotta hit 'em
in different spots.
Take 'em out piece by piece.
Look, I know we can make
the moves, so let's talk money.
33%,
that makes us
equal partners on this.
Technically, if we all at 33%,
that leaves one point out.
All right. I'll give it up.
Tommy?
That one point kissing
a lot of profit goodbye.
After a while, all them dollars
is gonna add up.
More money equals more power.
And zero percent
of nothing equals zero.
That's a whole lot of bullets
looking for one man.
I buy the ticket,
you take the ride?
All the way.
I bring
the motherfucking cavalry.
And we run all votes equal.
That's a huge play.
All trust.
What's it gonna be?
I'll take it.
Put Jenard back in the mix too.
We gonna need him.
Yeah, I don't know
about Jenard...
These motherfuckers
are just waiting for me
to pop my head up.
I don't need nobody
telling 'em where or when.
We gonna pull this shit off,
we gonna need everybody.
I'm gonna need everybody.
We got a moment here
to do something
that no Black or white set
has ever pulled off in Chicago.
Maybe that's 'cause
ain't nobody Black or white
dumb enough
to fuck with the Serbs.
They haven't done it
because they haven't had
the numbers.
We do. Us plus Vic Flynn.
Whoa, hold up, now, come on.
Fucking Abercrombie and Bitch
is in on this too?
Why you riding so hard
for these white boys?
- What's up, bro?
- It's about the numbers.
It's about locking in everyone
if we gonna pull this off.
This ain't about
no Tommy or no Vic.
It's about CBI going
where no Black men in Chicago
have ever gone before.
The Italians, the Irish,
the Jews,
we been nothing
but they corner boys.
If we want a seat
at that table...
at their table...
we gotta snatch it.
If we do roll
with team white boy,
what we get in return, D?
34%.
Now, you a numbers man.
Tell me what that is.
That's big.
I mean, shit, that one point'll
add up like a motherfucker.
Puts us at the top,
financially.
Exactly.
Every move we make, J,
we get stronger.
Baby bro,
I got more days behind me
than in front of me.
And I need you.
I need you with me.
To the days ahead, then.
All right. 34%.
We on our way
to running this city.
A'ight.
Did you crack it yet?
No. You caught more?
No.
Where you been, then?
Out. What's the verdict?
You can't bond it
to any other foreign substance.
It literally self-destructs.
- Could make some calls...
- No!
Don't nobody know
about this but us.
And I don't want nobody
to know about this but us.
What you doing with those?
This ain't gonna work out.
You gotta get the fuck
out of Chicago.
And go where?
New York is burned.
Can't go to Miami.
LA is fucking trash.
Ain't you got no family?
No.
And even if I did,
I ain't bringing no dirt
to their door.
- I got nothing.
- You got all of these keys!
- And then what?
- Unload them!
And start again?
You ain't gotta start shit
but a new life.
I don't know any other
fucking life but this.
Jesus Christ,
this is all I know.
You know any other life?
We chose it.
We gotta play by its rules.
Look, I know you could have
taken me out, right?
And I know you're doing this
for my protection...
but I am good.
I'm good because of you, Tommy.
I'm gonna get you and me
dialled all the way in on this.
Lay low, stay low.
I'll be back.
You thought this shit
all the way through?
Yes.
It's fuckin' CBI.
Who I'm good with.
This could be
a fucking bloodbath.
I mean, worth the upside?
Yeah, it's gonna be good,
Simon.
Trust me.
We're gonna make
so much fuckin' money.
Get to call our own game
after this.
Yeah.
I mean, don't have to rely
on anyone to bankroll moves.
That's right... don't gotta go
to the old man, hat in hand.
Set up our own crews.
Yeah. Yeah, it'll be good, Vic.
I hope it's worth it.
It's a mainline move, Sy.
I'm glad you're taking it
with me.
- Fuck it. Let's ride.
- My man.
I ain't got time for a drink.
Okay.
How much is you sitting on?
It's phenomenal, isn't it?
You got a good product.
"Good"?
Look, you called me.
What would a deal look like?
Uh, it would look like me
running point and taking 70%.
Fuck you. Get out.
Good luck.
60-40.
Fuck you.
This is my product, my play.
60-40.
Which way?
- Yours.
- Deal.
Done.
First, I need you to run
some interference for me.
Yo, how we looking?
Yo, we good.
You got everybody in place?
And then some.
Then we good to go.
Appreciate you
coming through on this.
Why we making
so much noise over one person?
I wish it was that simple.
It ain't never about
just one person.
- The fuck?
- Sit your ass down.
Please, I-I got kids.
Yeah, and if you chill,
you gonna see them tonight.
How much you make a hour?
30.
You just got a raise, Bobito.
Hey, you gonna say
anything to anyone?
Nope.
Yeah, you a smart man.
You handled yourself
like a pro today.
I could always use
smart people.
What's in these barrels anyway?
The goddamn future.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Come take a ride with me.
I was headed to the bar.
I'll have you back
in time to open, I promise.
What are you up to?
You'll see. Come on.
Let's go.
And we're here because...
What? You-you don't see it?
I see trees. I see grass.
It's pretty, isn't it?
Yes, Vic, it's beautiful.
What are we doing here?
It's our future.
I bought it.
I bought the land.
Victor.
Come here.
I'm gonna build that house
I drew on the napkin.
You know,
with the wraparound porch
and a swing
and the beautiful windows.
That's west, so we can
put the deck right there.
And then
we can watch the sunset.
Mm-hmm.
Watch the kids
play in the yard.
- Vic.
- Hmm?
- It's a beautiful dream.
- No.
It's better than that.
It's our reality.
The fuck?
Well, well, well.
We can try and control
everything with our kids.
But love's a fucking tornado,
Walter.
Are you seriously
gonna sit there
and try and wax poetic?
This is a fucking problem,
Paulie.
I'm just trying to tell you
there's only so much we can do,
and then it's outta our hands.
You have a chance
with your kids.
I don't with mine,
but you do.
You got two kids
looking to take the mantle
and only one spot.
As soon as one of 'em gets
knocked out of the running,
they ain't gonna think
about what's best for them.
Only what's best for you.
You're in a fucking jam,
Walter.
Yeah.
- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.
And these two barrels,
it's cute, but we need weight.
I got that all lined up.
Okay, that's it.
We're closing up shop here
for half an hour.
Let's go.
Come on.
You too. Come on. On your way.
Come on, folks.
You too. Come on, step to.
Let's go.
Two fingers, neat. Water back.
Ah.
I already paid Vic
for the month.
Do I look like
a fucking bag man?
I'm not here for the money.
I just came here for a drink
and to see a friendly face.
Didn't think
you ever thought of me
as a friendly face.
Oh.
Yours...
...is the face of an angel,
a goddess.
A gorgeous abyss
that no man can tire
of falling into.
But...
...this face is not the face
that my son's
going to wake up to
every morning
for the rest of his life.
That's not up to you, Walter.
And as beautiful
as this face is...
and Gloria...
your beauty is
truly fucking remarkable...
it will never be the face
that kisses my grandchildren
good night.
Not in any fucking lifetime.
Maybe you should
just sit down, Walter.
I'm fucking fine.
Just to clarify,
the money that I owe you,
it's got nothing to do
with Vic and me.
That's where
you're wrong, sweetheart.
Your relationship
started off as a debt.
Now, if you wanna
pay me back in full,
just walk away from Victor.
From... this.
You don't have
to answer me now...
...but...
...you will
have to answer me soon.
Yeah.
For the last three years,
Flynn's shipments
have been consistent.
Everything he's done has been
letter fucking perfect.
Got Claudia cooking the books.
Everything's been FDA compliant
with the dialysis centres.
It's been quiet
for a while now.
He's getting ready
to make a big move.
So we need to get inside.
And that's our way.
And then we can come back.
Yep.
Like last time, right?
The fuck?
Tommy?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Oh, easy
with the fucking tone, boy.
Everything okay?
Nowhere fucking near it.
Pop threatened Gloria.
There's no threat.
Went to see her,
we had a conversation.
I gave her some advice.
You haven't said a fucking word
to her in years,
and all of a sudden,
you're there to give advice?
Advice about what?
- Hey, let's all calm down.
- I defined reality for her.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Are you really trying
to force my hand, Pop?
Want me to choose
between her and you?
You really that
fucking confident?
You're a Flynn, and you will
die happy in bed
with a good Irish girl.
You got me?
Yeah, that worked out great
for you, didn't it?
He's not made like you.
You all stay ready
in case I gotta call y'all up.
You stay close.
On the other side of this,
you might just get invited
to the cookout.
This fucking guy, Vic.
Diamond told me you sweetened
our end of the deal.
I was just doing what's right.
Today changes everything,
y'all.
You made so much noise
for such a small creature.
I'm impressed.
Would you like to continue
making noise for me?
How about just a squeak?
Where's Tommy Egan?
Right here.
I'm getting to see
the whole family today.
My brother loves you
more than anything
in the world,
and I know you love him,
but at the end of the day,
that'll never be enough.
You don't know anything
about our relationship.
I know he bought the land.
It's worth 2 1/2 million
as it stands.
I can have it
transferred to your name.
You're kidding, right?
Sell it,
and you'll be a rich woman.
You'll have options.
Money like that
gives you a soft landing.
Ah, you piece of shit.
Please hear what I'm saying.
I'm here as your friend.
You can have the dream
and the happy ending
you deserve,
but it doesn't include
my brother.
So your father couldn't
get it done with his threats.
You think coming in here trying
to buy me off makes you better?
I'm not my father.
Nah.
You're worse.
See, he's sick, and he's still
stronger than you.
What are you talking about?
Bitch, get the fuck
out of my bar.
Where the fuck have you been?
Where's your fucking gun?
- Whew.
- That's one bite down.
Whoo! Shit made my dick hard.
I told you
it'd be fucking easy.
Sy? Sy!
Ah, fuck.
We gotta go.
Come on man. We gotta go.
What the fuck do you mean?
Well, where the fuck is it?
Fuck!
Is there a problem, babe?
Our drums of Dahlia
were stolen.
We have no product.
What?
How the fuck did that happen?
I thought you had
what's-his-name
transporting it.
I did.
Piece of shit Bobito.
I got people.
I got reach.
This is exactly
why you need me.
I knew you were a mistake.
Mistake? You're wrong.
The only thing
I was wrong about
was thinking you were the best
Flynn to get this done.
Don't you fucking leave.
You're worthless to me now.
Get the fuck off me.
We're done.
Yo, E! Let's go!
Motherfucker!
Motherfucker!
You're okay. Shit.
No, hold on, E.
Fuck!
Let's go!
We ain't got much time here.
This is a lot more
than a six pack.
J, come on! Fuck 'em.
Hey, motherfucker.
Where's Mirkovic?
Where the fuck is Mirkovic?
What the fuck are you doing?
He was about to talk.
Looked like he was
'bout to light your ass up.
Yeah.
Hello, Tommy.
Enough bodies have fallen.
You still standing.
Eye for an eye?
Nah.
Let me talk to her.
In time.
We gotta find Liliana.
Hey, we did
what we signed up for.
Our work here's done.
- She's gonna be...
- Our work here is done.
We made our move with you.
Wherever she is,
that's on you now.
Yo, man. Where she at?
You're quite fond of her.
That's a liability
in our world.
Oh, yeah?
'Cause in my world,
you stand up for your peoples.
Enough of this small talk.
Let me see her.
God damn.
Fact is, you've done a lot more
than she has to our side.
That right?
Then maybe you should
take me, not her.
Or I can kill you both,
which doesn't quite
make us even
after all the bodies
that have fallen,
but it's a decent start.
Fuck. Get down!
Who the fuck was that?
I don't know. Let's get inside.
Ah, shit. You're bleeding.
Shit, that ain't my... blood.
Fuck.
- Come here.
- Oh, oh, motherfucker.
- Okay.
- Ah, shit!
That fucking hurts!
All right, all right, all right.
Let me see, let me see.
It went straight through.
It's clean. God damn.
You're gonna be all right.
But here, look,
just grab my shoulder.
We gotta get inside.
Here we go.
There we go. Come on.
You're gonna be okay.
You clockin' my city.
It gonna be a problem if I am?
Only one way to find out.
Let's find out then.
Think again, mano.
I need you and you need me.
So it's 50-50.
50-50.
You think you throw that big
of a shadow
that the Chicago Serbs
got you on they list?
Maybe my old partner
killed they boss.
If this nigga Tommy is on
some type of suicide mission,
nigga, then fuck him.
Now, I didn't run this shit
for 15 years
just to stand by
and watch you on the tank,
headed to motherfuckin' battle
with this dude.
Came here to tell you
that I wanna work together.
You're about
to become obsolete.
I've got something
that'll kick your teeth in
a thousand times over.
Just wanna make sure
I'm partnering
with the right Flynn.
You are.
How about I kill you,
and we're even?
And just like that, I'm up 6-0.
Storm's coming.
It's already here.
Your little sidekick
killed two of my men.
What if New York were to hear
that Tommy Egan is in Chicago?
You never should
have mentioned New York.
Rodovan Mirkovic.
They gotta call him.
Shit's all the way fucked.
I want
that pipeline in Chicago.
I want them gone.
You got the coke,
they got the inroads.
You got one swing
with that machete.
You better meditate or pray
or do whatever you can
to seek the answers on this.
'Cause once you start it...
it can't be undone.
I hear you got a storm coming.
If you drag my son Victor
down into your world of shite,
I'm gonna bring
the big shoulders of Chicago
down upon thy's head.
Why you laying down
tracks here, anyway?
Ghost is gone.
New York is over.
This my chance to get mines.
Creeping up on me twice,
it's a great way
to get yourself killed.
I'm not too worried.
You should be.
You got other eyes on me?
Just mine.
You're jumpy.
I'm prepared.
- For?
- Anything.
Not this.
No one's prepared for it.
You know why?
'Cause no one's ever seen
anything like this.
Yeah, that's a cool
party trick.
This drug
goes beyond chemistry.
It's fucking alchemy.
And you ain't got
no way to move it, do ya?
You got that big fucking
Flynn name, but no distro.
You see, in this game,
there's the suckers
that walk into the buzzsaw
and the motherfuckers
holding it.
Welcome to my buzzsaw.
Maybe I should sample it.
Get an insider's perspective.
No, I need
your science brain firing.
Just take my word for it.
Best high I ever had.
That's a big claim.
No cap, best.
No harsh crash,
no cotton mouth,
no aftershocks at all.
It had a trippy-ass vibe,
but not like MDMA.
Warmer, like mushrooms,
with the kick
of nice, clean coke.
You make me wanna
drive my face right into this.
No, no. Not yet.
You think you can
break this shit down?
- See what the fuck we got?
- Mm.
It's a granular texture.
It's finer than coke.
Yeah.
- How were the drips?
- I didn't snort it.
- Did it burn your lungs?
- I didn't smoke it.
Anything chemically
come through?
Chemically?
Chinga madre.
Does it have an aftertaste?
No. Kind hard to tell.
I mostly tasted lipstick.
You wanna tell me more
about that?
- No.
- Okay. Fuck it, then.
No, no, no, no, no! Okay.
I was kissed into it. For real.
Adorable. By whom?
Claudia Flynn.
Th-that's a great sales pitch.
It was a little over the top.
You liked it.
Will you please
just step on this shit?
Let's see what the fuck we got.
I would buy drugs, too,
if Claudia Flynn kissed me.
Just-just step on this shit.
Go get your bag.
All right. Let's start easy.
Hey, Sampson.
Get over here.
Get up against the car.
I said get up
against the fucking car.
- Come on.
- So what?
Jogging is a crime too now?
Lace 'em. Lace 'em!
Get the fuck in the car.
Get in the fucking car
right now.
You been
coming to me like
we know each other
or something.
Like we got
some kind of history.
Your bad batch in '06
killed five people.
I pulled that off the streets
as soon as I knew
it was cut toxic.
It wasn't soon enough.
You know the name Kiki Watkins?
I don't.
She's one of the people
whose lives
will never be the same
because of you.
I spent 15 years making amends.
You convicts.
You always talk about how
you found God or Jesus
or whatever the fuck.
And we're all supposed
to just go along
for the spiritual ride
with you, is that right?
Well, what about you?
What about me?
Are you gonna change?
Or are you just gonna continue
to take that white man's money
to look the other way?
How the fuck
do you know about that?
Don't matter how I know.
Only matters
that other cops don't.
See, there were a few
dirty cops inside with me.
Y'all don't do so well
in there.
Get the fuck out of my car.
We both got a past
that we can't do nothing about.
All we can do is move forward.
- Mm-hmm.
- Sure.
No way.
It's the burn.
That nigga Diamond
handed me the kingdom
when I ain't really know shit
about the game.
But I learned, right?
I evolved. Eclipsed, nigga.
For sure.
And now I'm watching
these moves he makin'
with that white boy,
and I can't lie, bro.
Shit hurt, E. That shit hurt.
I feel that.
Nigga, I ain't put in
all this motherfucking time
making us stronger to be
disrespected, disregarded.
Bro, it was supposed
to be us two
when that nigga came home
from jail, bro.
You feel me?
The real brothers of CBI.
Everything been fucked up
since that motherfucker Tommy
came around.
If you don't wanna fuck
with Diamond, nigga,
let's bounce,
start our own shit.
Nah, fuck that.
I ain't breaking this shit.
I put in 15 years,
I ain't moving away
from none of this shit, nigga.
CBI is just as much mine
as it is his.
Who fucking cares?
Tatiana was weak.
Damn.
We only have a few runs left.
Yeah, no, I know.
I can see that.
Look, if I can get you
more product,
could you keep digging
'til you get the cut right?
Yeah. Yeah.
I ain't giving up on this.
Cool. Fuck it.
I'ma get you more.
- Gracias.
- You're welcome.
The fuck is you smirking at?
We're, like,
basically partners now, huh?
Oh. Fuck no, we ain't partners.
You must have caught
a contact high.
Now that the Serbs know
where you at,
how I'm gonna keep you safe?
I don't need protection.
You need a new zip code.
Look, why don't you take...
why don't you just take all
the bricks that we got and go?
I could set you up
in a few spots.
Not looking to be set up.
You need to get
the fuck out of Chicago.
I'm staying.
Besides,
once I crack this drug,
no end to what you
and me can make.
You ain't listening.
There ain't no you and me.
We have history.
Once two people have that,
they have a you and a me.
Will you do exactly what I say?
- Yes.
- You don't go nowhere,
you don't do nothing
without telling me first.
Yes.
- You keep working.
- Yes!
Okay. Don't hit it.
Bring me back extra, then.
- I ain't playing.
- Okay, bye. Go.
You haven't moved Dahlia
like you promised.
I need to move
our distros methodically.
Why?
What the fuck
are you waiting for?
We have to be smart about this.
We don't want other dealers
knowing about this.
Fuck other dealers.
We need to get this moving now.
- I get that.
- Do you?
'Cause you're not
acting like it.
Mai.
If you can't give me
what I need,
I can take this somewhere else.
To someone else.
Everyone in the city's
gonna want it.
I heard you making some noise
by taking out part
of the Serbian machine.
Tatiana's high on the list.
Yeah, well, she had to go.
You go in there undermanned,
you really don't
stand a chance.
Look, I know the Serbs
is coming for me,
but say I go in there
with a bunch
of hard-hitting
South Side soldiers...
Then you stand
a real fighting chance.
Look at us back on
the same page and shit.
How much this fighting chance
gonna cost me?
You a smart motherfucker.
You don't make a single move
without knowing what
the next five are gonna be.
The man without the plan
is the dead man in the room.
So what you want?
A controlling stake
in the Serb pipeline
and at least 51%.
Ooh, that's a big percent.
You'll get
a big hammer behind you.
Yo, I wanna make this deal.
Problem is,
I don't control 50%.
He got a piece too.
You know the moves
he's asking for?
I do.
I already made two of them.
Yeah.
He bodied Tatiana's muscle.
Kid's a good shot.
- Five dead Serbs.
- And that's a good start.
And like I said, all we gotta
do now is chop the head off.
And you swing that axe with us,
and the money don't stop.
And we control the pipeline
to the entire West Side
of the city.
You see the Serbs
usually roll in packs of six?
- Hmm. They're smart.
- Yeah, very.
They get arrested, only a few
get locked up at a time.
They get jumped,
only a few go down.
The city's deep with 'em,
so we gotta hit 'em
in different spots.
Take 'em out piece by piece.
Look, I know we can make
the moves, so let's talk money.
33%,
that makes us
equal partners on this.
Technically, if we all at 33%,
that leaves one point out.
All right. I'll give it up.
Tommy?
That one point kissing
a lot of profit goodbye.
After a while, all them dollars
is gonna add up.
More money equals more power.
And zero percent
of nothing equals zero.
That's a whole lot of bullets
looking for one man.
I buy the ticket,
you take the ride?
All the way.
I bring
the motherfucking cavalry.
And we run all votes equal.
That's a huge play.
All trust.
What's it gonna be?
I'll take it.
Put Jenard back in the mix too.
We gonna need him.
Yeah, I don't know
about Jenard...
These motherfuckers
are just waiting for me
to pop my head up.
I don't need nobody
telling 'em where or when.
We gonna pull this shit off,
we gonna need everybody.
I'm gonna need everybody.
We got a moment here
to do something
that no Black or white set
has ever pulled off in Chicago.
Maybe that's 'cause
ain't nobody Black or white
dumb enough
to fuck with the Serbs.
They haven't done it
because they haven't had
the numbers.
We do. Us plus Vic Flynn.
Whoa, hold up, now, come on.
Fucking Abercrombie and Bitch
is in on this too?
Why you riding so hard
for these white boys?
- What's up, bro?
- It's about the numbers.
It's about locking in everyone
if we gonna pull this off.
This ain't about
no Tommy or no Vic.
It's about CBI going
where no Black men in Chicago
have ever gone before.
The Italians, the Irish,
the Jews,
we been nothing
but they corner boys.
If we want a seat
at that table...
at their table...
we gotta snatch it.
If we do roll
with team white boy,
what we get in return, D?
34%.
Now, you a numbers man.
Tell me what that is.
That's big.
I mean, shit, that one point'll
add up like a motherfucker.
Puts us at the top,
financially.
Exactly.
Every move we make, J,
we get stronger.
Baby bro,
I got more days behind me
than in front of me.
And I need you.
I need you with me.
To the days ahead, then.
All right. 34%.
We on our way
to running this city.
A'ight.
Did you crack it yet?
No. You caught more?
No.
Where you been, then?
Out. What's the verdict?
You can't bond it
to any other foreign substance.
It literally self-destructs.
- Could make some calls...
- No!
Don't nobody know
about this but us.
And I don't want nobody
to know about this but us.
What you doing with those?
This ain't gonna work out.
You gotta get the fuck
out of Chicago.
And go where?
New York is burned.
Can't go to Miami.
LA is fucking trash.
Ain't you got no family?
No.
And even if I did,
I ain't bringing no dirt
to their door.
- I got nothing.
- You got all of these keys!
- And then what?
- Unload them!
And start again?
You ain't gotta start shit
but a new life.
I don't know any other
fucking life but this.
Jesus Christ,
this is all I know.
You know any other life?
We chose it.
We gotta play by its rules.
Look, I know you could have
taken me out, right?
And I know you're doing this
for my protection...
but I am good.
I'm good because of you, Tommy.
I'm gonna get you and me
dialled all the way in on this.
Lay low, stay low.
I'll be back.
You thought this shit
all the way through?
Yes.
It's fuckin' CBI.
Who I'm good with.
This could be
a fucking bloodbath.
I mean, worth the upside?
Yeah, it's gonna be good,
Simon.
Trust me.
We're gonna make
so much fuckin' money.
Get to call our own game
after this.
Yeah.
I mean, don't have to rely
on anyone to bankroll moves.
That's right... don't gotta go
to the old man, hat in hand.
Set up our own crews.
Yeah. Yeah, it'll be good, Vic.
I hope it's worth it.
It's a mainline move, Sy.
I'm glad you're taking it
with me.
- Fuck it. Let's ride.
- My man.
I ain't got time for a drink.
Okay.
How much is you sitting on?
It's phenomenal, isn't it?
You got a good product.
"Good"?
Look, you called me.
What would a deal look like?
Uh, it would look like me
running point and taking 70%.
Fuck you. Get out.
Good luck.
60-40.
Fuck you.
This is my product, my play.
60-40.
Which way?
- Yours.
- Deal.
Done.
First, I need you to run
some interference for me.
Yo, how we looking?
Yo, we good.
You got everybody in place?
And then some.
Then we good to go.
Appreciate you
coming through on this.
Why we making
so much noise over one person?
I wish it was that simple.
It ain't never about
just one person.
- The fuck?
- Sit your ass down.
Please, I-I got kids.
Yeah, and if you chill,
you gonna see them tonight.
How much you make a hour?
30.
You just got a raise, Bobito.
Hey, you gonna say
anything to anyone?
Nope.
Yeah, you a smart man.
You handled yourself
like a pro today.
I could always use
smart people.
What's in these barrels anyway?
The goddamn future.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Come take a ride with me.
I was headed to the bar.
I'll have you back
in time to open, I promise.
What are you up to?
You'll see. Come on.
Let's go.
And we're here because...
What? You-you don't see it?
I see trees. I see grass.
It's pretty, isn't it?
Yes, Vic, it's beautiful.
What are we doing here?
It's our future.
I bought it.
I bought the land.
Victor.
Come here.
I'm gonna build that house
I drew on the napkin.
You know,
with the wraparound porch
and a swing
and the beautiful windows.
That's west, so we can
put the deck right there.
And then
we can watch the sunset.
Mm-hmm.
Watch the kids
play in the yard.
- Vic.
- Hmm?
- It's a beautiful dream.
- No.
It's better than that.
It's our reality.
The fuck?
Well, well, well.
We can try and control
everything with our kids.
But love's a fucking tornado,
Walter.
Are you seriously
gonna sit there
and try and wax poetic?
This is a fucking problem,
Paulie.
I'm just trying to tell you
there's only so much we can do,
and then it's outta our hands.
You have a chance
with your kids.
I don't with mine,
but you do.
You got two kids
looking to take the mantle
and only one spot.
As soon as one of 'em gets
knocked out of the running,
they ain't gonna think
about what's best for them.
Only what's best for you.
You're in a fucking jam,
Walter.
Yeah.
- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.
And these two barrels,
it's cute, but we need weight.
I got that all lined up.
Okay, that's it.
We're closing up shop here
for half an hour.
Let's go.
Come on.
You too. Come on. On your way.
Come on, folks.
You too. Come on, step to.
Let's go.
Two fingers, neat. Water back.
Ah.
I already paid Vic
for the month.
Do I look like
a fucking bag man?
I'm not here for the money.
I just came here for a drink
and to see a friendly face.
Didn't think
you ever thought of me
as a friendly face.
Oh.
Yours...
...is the face of an angel,
a goddess.
A gorgeous abyss
that no man can tire
of falling into.
But...
...this face is not the face
that my son's
going to wake up to
every morning
for the rest of his life.
That's not up to you, Walter.
And as beautiful
as this face is...
and Gloria...
your beauty is
truly fucking remarkable...
it will never be the face
that kisses my grandchildren
good night.
Not in any fucking lifetime.
Maybe you should
just sit down, Walter.
I'm fucking fine.
Just to clarify,
the money that I owe you,
it's got nothing to do
with Vic and me.
That's where
you're wrong, sweetheart.
Your relationship
started off as a debt.
Now, if you wanna
pay me back in full,
just walk away from Victor.
From... this.
You don't have
to answer me now...
...but...
...you will
have to answer me soon.
Yeah.
For the last three years,
Flynn's shipments
have been consistent.
Everything he's done has been
letter fucking perfect.
Got Claudia cooking the books.
Everything's been FDA compliant
with the dialysis centres.
It's been quiet
for a while now.
He's getting ready
to make a big move.
So we need to get inside.
And that's our way.
And then we can come back.
Yep.
Like last time, right?
The fuck?
Tommy?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Oh, easy
with the fucking tone, boy.
Everything okay?
Nowhere fucking near it.
Pop threatened Gloria.
There's no threat.
Went to see her,
we had a conversation.
I gave her some advice.
You haven't said a fucking word
to her in years,
and all of a sudden,
you're there to give advice?
Advice about what?
- Hey, let's all calm down.
- I defined reality for her.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Are you really trying
to force my hand, Pop?
Want me to choose
between her and you?
You really that
fucking confident?
You're a Flynn, and you will
die happy in bed
with a good Irish girl.
You got me?
Yeah, that worked out great
for you, didn't it?
He's not made like you.
You all stay ready
in case I gotta call y'all up.
You stay close.
On the other side of this,
you might just get invited
to the cookout.
This fucking guy, Vic.
Diamond told me you sweetened
our end of the deal.
I was just doing what's right.
Today changes everything,
y'all.
You made so much noise
for such a small creature.
I'm impressed.
Would you like to continue
making noise for me?
How about just a squeak?
Where's Tommy Egan?
Right here.
I'm getting to see
the whole family today.
My brother loves you
more than anything
in the world,
and I know you love him,
but at the end of the day,
that'll never be enough.
You don't know anything
about our relationship.
I know he bought the land.
It's worth 2 1/2 million
as it stands.
I can have it
transferred to your name.
You're kidding, right?
Sell it,
and you'll be a rich woman.
You'll have options.
Money like that
gives you a soft landing.
Ah, you piece of shit.
Please hear what I'm saying.
I'm here as your friend.
You can have the dream
and the happy ending
you deserve,
but it doesn't include
my brother.
So your father couldn't
get it done with his threats.
You think coming in here trying
to buy me off makes you better?
I'm not my father.
Nah.
You're worse.
See, he's sick, and he's still
stronger than you.
What are you talking about?
Bitch, get the fuck
out of my bar.
Where the fuck have you been?
Where's your fucking gun?
- Whew.
- That's one bite down.
Whoo! Shit made my dick hard.
I told you
it'd be fucking easy.
Sy? Sy!
Ah, fuck.
We gotta go.
Come on man. We gotta go.
What the fuck do you mean?
Well, where the fuck is it?
Fuck!
Is there a problem, babe?
Our drums of Dahlia
were stolen.
We have no product.
What?
How the fuck did that happen?
I thought you had
what's-his-name
transporting it.
I did.
Piece of shit Bobito.
I got people.
I got reach.
This is exactly
why you need me.
I knew you were a mistake.
Mistake? You're wrong.
The only thing
I was wrong about
was thinking you were the best
Flynn to get this done.
Don't you fucking leave.
You're worthless to me now.
Get the fuck off me.
We're done.
Yo, E! Let's go!
Motherfucker!
Motherfucker!
You're okay. Shit.
No, hold on, E.
Fuck!
Let's go!
We ain't got much time here.
This is a lot more
than a six pack.
J, come on! Fuck 'em.
Hey, motherfucker.
Where's Mirkovic?
Where the fuck is Mirkovic?
What the fuck are you doing?
He was about to talk.
Looked like he was
'bout to light your ass up.
Yeah.
Hello, Tommy.
Enough bodies have fallen.
You still standing.
Eye for an eye?
Nah.
Let me talk to her.
In time.
We gotta find Liliana.
Hey, we did
what we signed up for.
Our work here's done.
- She's gonna be...
- Our work here is done.
We made our move with you.
Wherever she is,
that's on you now.
Yo, man. Where she at?
You're quite fond of her.
That's a liability
in our world.
Oh, yeah?
'Cause in my world,
you stand up for your peoples.
Enough of this small talk.
Let me see her.
God damn.
Fact is, you've done a lot more
than she has to our side.
That right?
Then maybe you should
take me, not her.
Or I can kill you both,
which doesn't quite
make us even
after all the bodies
that have fallen,
but it's a decent start.
Fuck. Get down!
Who the fuck was that?
I don't know. Let's get inside.
Ah, shit. You're bleeding.
Shit, that ain't my... blood.
Fuck.
- Come here.
- Oh, oh, motherfucker.
- Okay.
- Ah, shit!
That fucking hurts!
All right, all right, all right.
Let me see, let me see.
It went straight through.
It's clean. God damn.
You're gonna be all right.
But here, look,
just grab my shoulder.
We gotta get inside.
Here we go.
There we go. Come on.
You're gonna be okay.
