Jerome.

Ms. Ali?

Is she okay? DALLAS:

Her skull was fractured, SURGEON:
and the blunt trauma had caused

intracranial
hemorrhaging. extensive

We tried to stop the bleeding
and relieve the pressure,

but I'm sorry.

- Get the fuck off me.
- I'm sorry.

Fuck.

(birds

Hey, Mama.

Hey.

What, no watchdogs to frisk me?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Late night.

If you're not ready to
do Franklin, look, this,

- Let's... -It's fine. Let's go.
- Then let's just pause.

Wait, wait a second.

What's going on?

Where's your head?

Want some?

We should bring a dog next time.
At least it'd smell better.

Woof.

Morning.

Amanda you know.

This is Oscar.

- They need to come with us?
- Yes.

- Why?
- Why?

Because maybe last night
you're lying in bed,

start second-guessing
your deal with the DEA.

Call some of your buddies,

an agent down to the tunnel,
tell 'em you're gonna bring

and I get dragged off
into the Mexican desert

never to be heard from again.

Now come on.

Morning.

How you feeling?

Like I have the worst
hangover in history.

Did you make me a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich?

You don't have a
lot of food here.

Got you these, too.

I have something
stronger Well, I think

in the medicine cabinet.

Gonna need you a little
more alert than that.

Something we should do right
now, if you're feeling up to it.

Okay.

Hey.

Leave it all out
there. You understand?

Mm-hmm.

Here it is. GIRL:

Franklin.

Franklin.

Pleasure to finally meet you.

- Cissy.
- Hi.

Franklin a nd I are
gonna go for a walk.

You mind watching my case?

Sure.

My moms used to bring me
here FRANKLIN: all the time

when I was a kid.

Incredibly brave through all
Your mother has been of this.

Mm-hmm.

For everything, you
know. She blames the CIA

Would do anything
to get back at them.

What would you do, Franklin?

How long have you
lived in this country?

A number of years now.

Can't be easy, right?

Living in a place that you hate.

Who you can trust. Not knowing

I don't hate this
country, Franklin.

But I do think it's criminal,

the hypocrisy of proclaiming
devotion to freedom

while oppressing and
murdering your own citizens.

And you want to expose
that to the world.

Mm, I was under the impression
you wanted that as well.

I want Teddy McDonald.

I want him alive.

I can deliver that to you.

But not until I have proof

importing and selling
cocaine that the CIA has been

in the United States.

Is this something
you can provide?

For pictures or him on
tape, Look, if you're asking

then no, I don't.

What exactly do you need?

Ideally?

Your law enforcement
arrests Some branch of

in possession of
cocaine CIA officers

and large amounts of cash.

Where Teddy keeps his
product. No, no, I don't know

But you two are still
conducting deals, yes?

As of two days ago,

I'm no longer buying
cocaine from Teddy.

But I do know who's taken my
place as his main distributor.

My auntie and uncle.

Okay.

Everything you can
tell me I need to know

about Teddy and his operation.

Your interactions, How you met,

things you saw,
what you learned.

Of your relationship.
The full scope

Your son is as you described.

And serious young
man. An impressive

Uh-huh.

We're good.

Hey.

Oh.

Will not come
easily, I know trust

but I'm hoping we can get there.

First time I met Teddy McDonald,

from one of our rock
houses. I was driving home

He T-boned my car,

tased me,

chained in a basement.
And I woke up

did you two talk
about? So, what else

Everything he wanted to hear,

which also happens
to be the truth.

What do you want, Franklin?

How do you want this to end?

I want my money back.

Want to have this baby.
I want to marry V,

I was so close to
having I want the life

until that motherfucker
Teddy I could taste it

that's what I want.
Ripped it away,

fighting with Jerome
and Louie And you think

is gonna help you
get any of that?

Anybody coming after
me is in my way.

And I can't have that.

Ever occur to you

that this is exactly
what Teddy wants?

For us to wipe each other
out so he doesn't have to?

Just like they used to do

and the field negroes,
with the house

and the dark-skinned?
And the light

We destroy ourselves for them.

Look, even if I wanted to,

I don't think I can stop it now.

If I can help open up a door,

would you be willing
to walk through it?

You and I are the only ones who
have access to the accounts?

Drawing on them at any
time. Yes, and you can start

Good.

How's Dallas holding up?

I'm not sure.

Said I'd stop by
later to check on her.

She's probably not good.

Black Diamond had a kid, right?

- So, what happens now?
- Mm-hmm.

You hit them,

until everybody's
dead? Then we go round

to sit down with Jerome.
My mother wants me

Talk it out.

Your mother's not wrong.

Yeah, it's me.

All right.

I'll be there in 30.

Kane's awake.

Wants to talk.

Sitting down with Jerome
ain't gonna mean much

if you tell Kane
how to kill him.

Listen, um...

for taking care of
this, V. Thank you

I love you.

You love me?

You want to stay t hank you
for what I just did for us?

Swallow your pride.

But you don't fucking know!

I do know. TONY:

too, And I'll tell you this,

because this isn't gonna
get any easier, Gustavo.

The paranoia, the

He doesn't.

You didn't have to

whatever you need, I got you.

Money, time, it's all good.

I'm out, Franklin.

Yeah, like I just said,
take all the time you need.

No, I'm out.

For good.

We had a pact.

If something happened to one - of us, the other had to leave.

No questions asked, no revenge,

Soon, baby. DALLAS:

You hungry?

Want some Fatburger?

- Okay.

Come on in.

It's just us.

Last time I saw these...

was after that
fight about the car.

Mama cooked enough
to feed a whole army.

what we pass on to
our kids. It's amazing

I know she was furious
about him not telling her

he bought it.

But I swear...

like he was ten feet
tall Daddy looked

when he stepped
out that Cadillac.

That's how you remember it?

What you want from me, Cissy?

The last two men standing.
You and Franklin are

Last of the tribe.

Cissy, the boy stole from me.

Pulled a gun on my wife.

Dropped four bodies
outside my club.

He turned you into
a drug dealer.

But you don't want
to desert him.

Cissy, when you ever had my
back the way you have his?

You're right, maybe I haven't.

Why we're here.

And it might not be fair...

but it is all on you.

You are my family,
and I need you.

What are you gonna do?

Wait, you
did what? We need help.

Yeah, but after everything
you said about her,

I didn't think helping
was something she did.

That money we just laundered,

it was her ex who pointed
us in the right direction.

She made that happen.

She made that happen, huh?

She also took 200 grand off
the mark that put me there.

Look, unless something else has
changed in the past 24 hours

I don't know about, we don't
have a lot of options here.

But you can trust her?

I can trust her to be her.

Just sit with her.

Listen to what she has to say.

And if you think she
can help, that's great.

We 'll send her on her
way. If not,

Hmm?

I don't know.

He could've altered
his appearance.

I have no idea.
Never seen him.

Okay.

If you think of anything else.
Keep this copy. Let me know

Okay.

You understand that
whoever this is,

they are out there,

and they're trying to bring

this whole operation
crashing down.

Sí, señor.

Julius.

Oh... Ah.

Oh, this looks so
good. Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

Hi, um, can I have
a beer, please?

- Sounds good.
- Thank you.

You Cassandra?

Franklin.

Please.

If there's one thing
you can't get in Paris,

it is a slab of ribs.

Help yourself.

I'll pass. Thanks.

Do you want a beer?
You seem tense.

I don't drink.

V filled you in, on all of it?

She did.

Oh, thank you.

You brought my daughter into.
Quite an impressive mess

that's what she said
about It's funny, you.

Mm.

To force her back to
me. And yet, you managed

V seems to think you can help.

But you're unconvinced.

Man we're up against is no joke.

Smart, manipulative.
He's trained,

And when the chips
are down, a killer.

So I've been told.

So, let's get one thing
straight from the jump.

This works, my fee is 20%.

20...

You'd rather have
100% of nothing?

Yeah, I knew this
was a bad idea.

Wait.

This man you're up
against may be trained,

a killer,

but the person who helped
him steal your money

most likely isn't.

What makes you
think he had help?

He definitely had
help. Oh, honey,

And he wouldn't have
used someone in-house,

because the CIA would have
to account for the money.

Got your attention, huh?

Mmm. You got to be kidding.

Are you sure you don't
want This is so good. any?

No. How would somebody
have helped him?

Well, lifting that much
from overseas banks,

you need to set
up dummy accounts,

forge documents,
impersonate you.

Impersonate me?

Th ere is a very
short list of people

a job of this scale.
Who can pull off

Just need to know where to look.

And you do?

Typical finder's fee is
five percent. All right?

but there is nothing
typical Yes, Franklin,

about any of this.

Give me a week.

I'm gonna need to borrow
your soon-to-be wife

a couple of tickets to
Panama. For a few days and

If I find the person Teddy
used, we settle on ten percent.

Daughter and grandchild in my
And a chance to have my life.

How does that sound?

Chingada madre.

- I
- didn't know he was CIA at first,

just thought he was the plug.

Could get shit done.

Until he got me out
of jail But it wasn't

put it all together.
That I really

I realized what it was
I'd become a part of.

- How soon are you meeting
- again?

- Two days.
- Good.

Approval to begin surveillance
In the meantime, we have

on the Mexican, Gustavo Zapata.

To Teddy's warehouse.
He should lead us

The Center also responded about

the material we took
from Avi Drexler.

One last weapons shipment
It appears there is

en route to Costa Rica.

It's on a cargo ship right
now crossing the Atlantic

in about three weeks'
time. And should arrive

The Center wants us to use
our Sandinista contacts

to intercept the shipment.

Teddy and his people
know Avi's missing.

So either they already
rerouted the shipment,

or they'll be waiting for us.

Either way, we lose.

They're not asking.

Yeah!

Been a while since I've been
FRANKLIN: to one of these.

Or just feel safe here?
Feeling nostalgic,

I know what Teddy did to you,

and I'm sorry I-I
couldn't help you, moreno.

You're sorry?

Listen to me, Oso,

if you called me all the way
down here just to apologize,

then you're wasting
everybody's time.

Where'd you find this? Teddy?

You know who he is?

What if I do?

What's it worth to you?

Listen to me very
carefully, Oso.

That picture is radioactive.
You know what that means?

I can tell you who he is.

The only way that happens is
if you get me Teddy first.

You do that, and in return,

after I get back what's
mine, I'll make you rich.

How rich?

$10 million rich.

Okay.

First, you tell me who he is,

and you tell me
why he's after us.

How this is gonna happen.
No, no, that's not

You want to know,
I get Teddy first.

And how do I know yo u're
telling me the truth, cabrón?

Jerome and Louie's wedding.

Right?

Until then,

it poisons everyone
who gets too close.

- Taste this shit!
- Shit.

You want something?

I'm a'ight.

Ain't got to worry.

Cissy wanted me to
come here and talk.

Let's talk.

All right.

The way I see it, you
know, shit's pretty simple.

Yeah. I hit you. You hit me.

Let's just call it square.

Stay out of each other's way,

everybody lives.

Call it square?

Uh-huh.

When I first came to L.
A.? I ever tell you about

I don't know.

Couldn't get my mind
right back in Texas.

Place wouldn't have fit no more.

Cissy was moving
to the West Coast,

landed in the Bay.

I knew that peace, love,
hippie shit wasn't for me.

L.A. sounded a'ight.

I realized the mistake.
Minute I got here,

I ain't had no people here.

No way to fit in.

But I wasn't gonna run
back home, stuck it out.

Got a job at the Chrysler plant.

Went out every night.

Pussy ain't help.

Liquor and drink did a little.

No matter what I threw at it,

the big hole inside me
just kept getting bigger.

Then Alton fell off.

Panthers shit.

Drinking.

Cissy trying to save his ass
while trying to raise yours.

She was drowning.

So I told her to come out here.

Told her I'd set her up.

Be whatever she needed me to be.

She came.

Suddenly you was here.

Instantly I had
love, I had purpose.

The man that raised
you. I was gonna be

For the longest time, I thought
that by lifting you up...

watching the young man
that you were gonna become,

that that may be
the greatest thing

to ever happen in my life.

And now I look at you...

and I wonder how the...
How did I fuck up so bad?

Is it my fault

a scandalous, cutthroat,
that you've become

that you are right
now? Bitch-made nigga

That's how you see it?

That's what the fuck it is, man.

Well, uh, you kn ow, I guess
another way of seeing it is

everything you have
is because of me.

Right?

What I got? Hmm?

What I got, nephew?

Blood money?

Bodies on me?

Cops and CIA on my ass?

Your mama losing
her goddamn mind?

You was going nowhere,
doing nothing,

selling dime bags on the porch,

waiting for your bitch to
come down from that sherm.

I'll crack your
motherfucking jaw.

I tried to give you a legacy,

something more than
asubwoofer and a weight bench.

And if you hadn't let
yourself get played

by that trick you married,
you might've had it!

Fuck you think
you're talking to?

Y-You ever lay...

Nigga, you ain't gonna
do - shit!

I ain't gonna fucking do shit?!

Do it.

Pull it, nigga.

Kill me.

End this shit right now.

Do it!
