00:30Previously on Ghost.
00:31The dirty cop beat up Diana.
00:32She lost our baby.
00:33Well, I'm supposed to just snort a few lines and get the fuck over it like you always do,
00:34right?
00:35Do you think L's still mad?
00:36What are you doing?
00:37Yeah, I'll two niggas fire.
00:38Wow, is this a help?
00:39It was a group decision.
00:40War bureaucrats don't exactly advertise.
00:41It's going to take me some time to find a new one.
00:42Time I don't have.
00:43You need citizenship to make you legit, so marry me.
00:44I don't know what you're talking about.
00:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47I don't know what you're talking about.
00:48I don't know what you're talking about.
00:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51Please don't act like you care about me.
00:52You know I fucking care about you.
00:53How are we killing this bitch?
00:54Killing a cop ain't the way out.
00:55Let me handle my people my way.
00:56I know what you're dealing with, but she can't kill a cop.
00:57You're right.
00:58That bitch is mine.
00:59Let's just calm down and talk about it.
01:00No, no, no!
01:01No, no, no!
01:02No, no, no!
01:03No, no, no!
01:04No, no, no!
01:05No, no, no!
01:06No, no, no!
01:07No, no, no!
01:08No, no, no!
01:09No, no, no!
01:10No, no, no!
01:11No, no, no!
01:12No, no, no!
01:13No, no, no!
01:14No, no, no!
01:15Let's just calm down and talk about it.
01:18Do you like bedtime stories?
01:24Yeah.
01:25This is so fucked up.
01:26You've got to get the fuck out of here, now.
01:29Hands up.
01:30You give me the leverage I need to go against Noma,
01:34and maybe I change this murder to a fucking accident.
01:37Welcome to the fucking team, Tariq.
01:45I never took a straight path nowhere.
02:07Life's full of twists and turns, bumps and bruises.
02:09I live, I learn.
02:10I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers.
02:13It's hard to get a start in these parts without paper.
02:15Homie, I grew up in hell.
02:17A block away from heaven.
02:18That corner ain't 15 minutes.
02:20It move at seven.
02:21Pure snow.
02:22Bag it, then watch it go.
02:23Occupational options.
02:24Get some blow on some hoes.
02:26Shoot the ball or the strap.
02:27Learn the rap or the jack.
02:28Fuck it, man.
02:29In the meantime, go ahead and pump a pack.
02:31This my regal royal flow.
02:32My James Bond bounce.
02:34That 007, that 62 on my count.
02:36I'm an undercover liar.
02:38I lie under the covers.
02:39Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her, baby, I love it.
02:42You're my inspiration.
02:43You're my motivation.
02:44You're the reason that I move it with no hesitation.
02:46They say this is a big, rich town.
02:49Yeah.
02:51I just come from the poorest part.
02:55Bright lights, city life.
02:56I gotta make it.
02:57This is where it goes down.
02:59Oh, yeah.
03:01I just something to come up hard.
03:05Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it.
03:12I gotta make it.
03:23Detective Felicia Marie Lewis.
03:25She was tough.
03:27She was fearless.
03:29But most of all, she was one of our own.
03:32Felicia was family.
03:35Her tragic death will undoubtedly leave a hole in our hearts.
03:40We're never prepared for a fatal car crash.
03:44Paramedics on the scene said she died on impact.
03:47Maybe she didn't feel any pain.
03:50At least that's what I hope.
03:53Let's use this as a reminder to stick together.
03:59And never take for granted the time we have left on this earth.
04:04The union is setting up a fund for her little boy, Cole.
04:09I know you all want to contribute.
04:14To Felicia.
04:16To Felicia.
04:17Felicia.
04:18To Felicia.
04:29Yo.
04:33An accident.
04:35I know.
04:37What the fuck really happened?
04:42Nico, man, I know with what we do, it's natural to second guess everything.
04:49But this appears to be exactly what it says on the report.
04:54A fucking car accident, man.
05:01I know you two were close.
05:05So I'm here if you want to talk, all right?
05:23Speak to Detective Carter?
05:25Nah, he's probably looking for some more shit for us to do.
05:28We need to get rid of this motherfucker.
05:30I mean, wipe his ass off the face of the fucking earth.
05:33Any nigga put a gun to my head don't deserve to live.
05:35Shit, you think I don't know?
05:36I could face life in a fucking prison if this motherfucker decides to make me an accessory to this fucking cop's murder.
05:41Yeah, man.
05:43I still can't believe this shit, man.
05:45You know, baby girl ain't baby girl no more.
05:47This fucking shit is stressing her out.
05:48It's fucking with her head, you know?
05:49She gotta move past regret.
05:50It's for civilians.
05:51Well, fuck all that.
05:52What we doing?
05:53We need to get on this nigga's ass ASAP.
05:54I mean, look.
05:55We gotta give the nigga what the fuck he wants.
05:57NOMA.
05:58On the platter.
05:59Nah, man, that's gonna make us weak.
06:00If we give him leverage on NOMA, what's gonna stop that bitch from wanting to kill us?
06:03Wait, what about Drew?
06:04Hell no.
06:05He'll work with us, no?
06:06Drew called Carter to Felicia's house.
06:07Shh.
06:08He was up this motherfucker's ass like a fucking lapdog, working his own agenda.
06:11Okay, so here's what we do.
06:13We tell Carter that we're working on a leverage piece with NOMA.
06:16Meanwhile, we weaponize NOMA, make it seem like everything's gonna be blown up on her end, and make her take out Carter.
06:21Oh, this bitch again.
06:22We gotta go back and beg fucking NOMA for help.
06:24No, listen.
06:25We gotta kiss some ass and get this nigga off of our ass.
06:27All right?
06:29I mean, they're opposites.
06:30Who the fuck else is better than when you're going against the craziest, most psychotic, corrupt cop in the fucking city?
06:35Yeah, you're fucking right.
06:36You're right, guys.
06:37Shit.
06:41What is this place?
06:42This is Fourth Circle.
06:44Used to be Zion's spot.
06:47Dealers played around, no cops welcome.
06:49That's why we can't use the main entrance.
06:52You're gonna be overseeing the venue and the revenue like Zion did.
06:56But first, we got some people that want to welcome you to the organization.
07:11Gentlemen, this here is Drew Tejada.
07:15You got any questions before you come to me or Nico?
07:18This who you talk to.
07:20What's up?
07:27What happened to the whole Apex TED talk?
07:30Vertical control reigning supreme.
07:32You know, that shit's gonna be hard now that this motherfucker that thinks he's Denzel from Training Day is in the way.
07:36Carter is a cop, Rick.
07:38The head of a drug task force.
07:40Okay?
07:41There's a thousand ways this can go left, leaving us royally fucked.
07:43Sounds like you don't got my back, nigga.
07:45No, I just don't want a preemptive strike.
07:47Or to start a war with motherfuckers that we can't win against.
07:50You know what a task force stands for.
07:53Gang. Thugs with badges.
07:55Remember that whole Tyree-Nickel shit?
07:57They'll let those motherfuckers get away with a hundred murders before they stop them.
08:00Yeah, and eventually they're gonna kill our fucking asses.
08:02So that means we gotta take them out before they kill us. Simple as that.
08:04Yeah, no, no. Simple as that.
08:06No, Rick.
08:08Be clear the fuck up, bro.
08:09This motherfucker has hella shit on me.
08:11I have nothing on him.
08:13And now that he thinks I work for him, backing down is not an option.
08:17Where you going anyway? You packing up?
08:19I'm moving out. Finally.
08:20Okay.
08:21I'm gonna see if Ellen wants to move in with me.
08:23Wait, why?
08:24What do you mean why?
08:25Because she's my girl and I love her. That's why.
08:29What the fuck is so funny?
08:30You're really fucking losing it, huh?
08:32Do you hear yourself?
08:33Yeah.
08:34You love her?
08:35You don't even know this girl.
08:36And didn't the band just fucking walk out on us?
08:38In fact, I do know her.
08:40And I'll get the band back.
08:41In the meantime, I got all the Ivys and the knockoff band.
08:45What the fuck are you doing?
08:46Kyle, how did you do that?
08:48For once, I would just love for you to say thank you, Brayden.
08:51You're killing it, Brayden. Good job, Brayden.
08:53You do a lot of things without thinking it through.
08:55All right?
08:56And you've been doing it a lot lately, so I'm just wondering.
08:58Yeah, that's fine.
08:59Well, I'm moving fast and smart, and shit's working.
09:02I know what the fuck I'm doing, Rick, okay?
09:05Detective Carter knows who you are, and he's after you.
09:08Basically, how this motherfucker operates,
09:10he doesn't like people doing business without being under his thumb.
09:12So that's an issue for you.
09:14I can solve it. I can get rid of him.
09:16I've got a plan.
09:17You got a plan?
09:18I got a plan.
09:19Do you want me to get to the bottom of this?
09:21No, that's not what I'm saying.
09:24I just want you to get over it.
09:25No, I don't want to get into this shit.
09:26I got a plan.
09:27I got a plan.
09:28I got a plan.
09:29I got a plan.
09:30I got a plan.
09:31You got a plan?
09:32It's an issue for you. I can solve it. I can get rid of him.
09:34What's in it for you?
09:35To read the scam, Patrick?
09:37Your ass always got an angle.
09:38You're always asking the wrong shit, King.
09:39There's something in it for all of us, eh?
09:41I mean, which one of us in this room
09:42really need this NYPD-ass nigga disrupting our shit?
09:45What hard evidence does this cop have on me?
09:48Does he have a witness? Surveillance? What?
09:50Yeah, playboy.
09:51And how exactly are we supposed to do this?
09:53Because killing the cop ain't easy.
09:54I mean, I don't think we have a choice.
09:56Bro, the nigga's corrupt, right?
09:57He can create fake evidence against us.
09:59He can create cases on us.
10:00He can do whatever the fuck he wants, basically.
10:03I mean, is that a chance he don't want to take?
10:05Well, you didn't answer my question.
10:07What does he know about my organizations? Be specific.
10:10Look, fuck all this back-and-forth bullshit.
10:12Now, we're giving you top-shelf information.
10:15We can map out a plan now and get back to the details later.
10:18Now, you in or not?
10:20Yeah, basically, what we're saying is that
10:22it's only a matter of time before this nigga
10:23starts lowering the hammer on you.
10:25I'm not interested in going to war with the NYPD-fucking-D.
10:29Fuck it, I'm out of here.
10:30I told you this was gonna be some bullshit.
10:32And your ass is so fucking pussy,
10:33were you just gonna let this bitch get you killed?
10:35Ah, now that's not language I'd expect from my mum.
10:40Mum?
10:41Bitch, what the fuck you say?
10:42What, didn't Cain tell you?
10:44Oh, we're gonna be family now.
10:46Cain's my business partner and...
10:48Beyonce.
10:52Yeah, mum, you're hearing right.
10:54Norma and I are getting married.
10:56Wedding, pastor, the whole works.
10:58Your invitation's in the mail, though.
11:00Cain, this fucking bitch has got you going crazy.
11:02The fuck is this?
11:04Love, of course.
11:05Bullshit.
11:06Word.
11:07Good luck with your fucking stupid-ass love.
11:09Ta-da.
11:11Well, you two now are on Detective Carter's radar.
11:15This little love bullshit you got going on
11:17just doubles your profit.
11:20Listen, we got leverage.
11:23We both know Detective Carter's dirty.
11:25Nah, that's not close enough.
11:27Find out what Carter really knows about me
11:29and how the fuck he got my name.
11:39There's something wrong with Elle.
11:41What? What's wrong with her?
11:42I don't know.
11:43I don't know.
11:44I don't know.
11:45I don't know.
11:46I don't know.
11:47I don't know.
11:48You know, something's wrong with Elle.
11:49What? What the fuck happened?
11:50She was doing Coke,
11:51and then she said she wasn't feeling so hot.
11:52And the next thing you know,
11:53she just fucking passed out.
11:54Look, there are drugs all over this fucking room.
11:55Who gave her the Coke?
11:56Shut the fuck up!
11:57I don't know.
11:58She has sickles down.
11:59Call 911.
12:00I didn't want to do that.
12:01Fucking call.
12:06All right, FYI.
12:08I'm charging extra for this house call.
12:12I have all the documents you requested.
12:15Living will and bank statements, tax filings,
12:18prenup agreement.
12:19So, are you going on the run or getting married?
12:24Ha ha ha, the second one.
12:27I was talking to the lady, my guy.
12:28Yeah, it's true.
12:30Kane and I are getting married,
12:31and everything needs to be airtight
12:33so it holds up against government scrutiny,
12:36ICE and the like.
12:37Wow, marrying a drug dealer.
12:39Sounds like something you might have wanted to run by
12:41your extremely smart lawyer first.
12:44Given Wiley Adams' untimely demise,
12:47this had to be done.
12:48There was no need to consult me.
12:50Yeah, so, it seems like your work here is done.
12:53Fake-ass, shiny cocksucking.
12:55I got your text. What's up?
12:57Hey, whatever freak shit y'all got going on,
12:59I'm not into that.
13:01I second that emotion.
13:02Sit.
13:06We need your computer expertise.
13:08I'm marrying Kane.
13:11He did a decent job, didn't he?
13:13Yeah, this ring weighs an absolute ton.
13:15She's fucking with you.
13:17It's marriage for hire, strictly business.
13:19Well, it's more like business with benefits, right, love?
13:22Anyway, our nuptials need to appear rock-solid,
13:25so any dalliance between you two is now over.
13:28Oh, yeah, you got it. That's done.
13:32Can I go now?
13:33No, sweetie.
13:35Kane's a caveman.
13:36He has no social media.
13:39I need you to create one for him
13:40so he looks legitimate as my husband.
13:42I'm thinking a LinkedIn page,
13:45an employee profile at my company,
13:48maybe a college profile, actually,
13:50and some happy couple photos on IG,
13:54you know, that sort of thing.
13:55Kane with a college profile.
13:57Make sure that shit is community college.
14:00Fuck you. Fuck you back.
14:02This needs to look real.
14:04You can do this, yes?
14:05I can do my best to make it look real.
14:08I can do my best, but I'm not a wizard.
14:10If somebody looks hard enough,
14:11they can find what they're looking for.
14:12Well, that sounds like a personal problem.
14:15You're on payroll, so it'll be your job
14:17to cover your tracks, then.
14:18Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
14:25Look, F...
14:26It's business. I got it.
14:27There's nothing to talk about.
14:29Come on, honey.
14:30What's the point of pillow talk
14:32if you're not going to talk?
14:34Well, he came up with a solution.
14:36Yeah.
14:37I, uh...
14:38I make him the American face of my subsidiary
14:42so that I can get the U.S. contracts pronto,
14:44and then the marriage and the prenup
14:46protect my assets till I become a citizen.
14:49I mean, that's the plan.
14:52Well, you probably would have come up with it yourself
14:54if you weren't in the midst of your own divorce.
14:56Oh, well, thank you for reminding me, okay?
14:58I thought that, uh, we had an understanding
15:01as growing business partners.
15:03Partners?
15:04Yes.
15:05I understand your practice is underwater
15:08and you see me as a meal ticket,
15:10but don't be silly, Davis.
15:11Like my tongue game?
15:13I wouldn't underestimate my comeback game.
15:15Despite your tongue game,
15:17our relationship has limitations, love.
15:20Besides, you know I'm more of a one-woman show.
15:24Why the fuck they trying to hurry up and get married?
15:26This shit is stupid, man.
15:27Yeah, I'm just as shocked as you are.
15:30But why do you need to know the why?
15:32To take down Carter.
15:34Tried to get Norma to do it, but she ain't bite.
15:36So we got to give all the leverage
15:37that we got on Norma to Carter.
15:38Get him off our backs
15:39so we can figure out our next move.
15:40That's where you come in.
15:41Norma's my client.
15:42Nigga, you trying to pretend
15:43like you know everything about me?
15:44I don't.
15:45I don't.
15:46I don't.
15:47I don't.
15:48I don't.
15:49I don't.
15:50I don't.
15:51I don't.
15:52I don't.
15:53Nigga, you trying to protect this bitch
15:54when I gave you the inside drop on her?
15:56The fuck?
15:58The allegiance is with me.
15:59Okay, and did this bitch even consult to you
16:01about marrying Kane?
16:02She's not in it for you.
16:03She's in it for herself.
16:04Little nigga, you need to calm the fuck down.
16:07Any pertinent information I give you
16:09means I'm compromising all business dealings with Norma
16:11if she were ever to find out I told you.
16:15I mean, you all preach about allegiance.
16:18Well, Mr. Rainmakeover is going to need some in return.
16:20Sure, if you want to end up like Obi.
16:22That's what allegiance with Norma gets you.
16:24A nice to the fucking neck.
16:25You don't think I get it?
16:26She's a shifty bitch.
16:28I mean, you two aren't any better.
16:30With that being said, my allegiance is with you.
16:34Well, then tell us what the fuck is up
16:36because you clearly know what this sneaky bitch is up to.
16:39Never forget who came through for you during clutch time.
16:42Who always comes through for both your asses.
16:45Yes, of course.
16:52Right now, this is what matters to Norma.
16:54Aircraft Global.
16:56The fuck is this?
16:58It's her front business.
16:59It washes her drug money.
17:01But she's under too much scrutiny in Europe.
17:03So in order to secure a contract
17:05to sell her jet engine parts to the U.S. government,
17:07Aircraft Global must be owned by an American citizen.
17:10Kate.
17:11Exactly.
17:12The marriage will allow Norma to become naturalized.
17:14And she'll be able to do that.
17:16So, what's the deal?
17:19Exactly.
17:20The marriage will allow Norma to become naturalized.
17:22The prenup will protect her assets
17:24until she can reclaim her company.
17:26So basically, Kane is just a straw man.
17:28Essentially.
17:29And a dumbass.
17:30Yeah.
17:31After Wiley Adams was murdered by Zion's crew,
17:33I had to find her a new government contact to bribe.
17:36That person is Sterling Reynolds.
17:38Muckety-muck in the State Commerce Department.
17:41Float that name by Carter.
17:43He'll have all the leverage he needs.
17:45All right, man.
17:46Hey.
17:47Got to split, Davis.
17:48Appreciate you.
17:49As always.
18:15How'd you find me here, man?
18:17Come on, baby.
18:18I've been here.
18:19You're the one that's brand new and shit.
18:21I'm hearing you the man around here.
18:23I'm just hoping you're not getting too caught up Carter's ass.
18:27Nigga, what do you want?
18:29Your flip-flopping ass was a soldier for Norma.
18:31I just want to make sure Betty Crocker ain't giving away all the fucking recipes.
18:34All right, so you trying to get punched the fuck out of me?
18:35Only if you promise not to hit like a bitch.
18:38Norma don't mean shit to Carter.
18:40He can take out whomever he wants at whatever time he wants.
18:45So you been drinking the Kool-Aid?
18:47Better than drinking Norma's stank-ass bathwater.
18:49I mean, nigga, really?
18:50Working for Norma?
18:51Working with a dirty-ass cop?
18:53Come on, bro.
18:54You're doing anything to try to compete with me.
18:56When will you realize you're never going to be me?
19:01Good luck, man.
19:02Let's see how long this works out for you.
19:03Let's see how long marrying your boss works out for you.
19:09Monet told me that Norma's marrying the help.
19:12You're a step above a poor boy.
19:14Don't give a fuck about you.
19:15You're another fall guy for her.
19:18You can't see that.
19:21No.
19:23No, you can't.
19:25Oh, wow, man.
19:28Come back and have a drink with your brother sometime.
19:33Oh my God.
19:34So you're marrying a thug half your age?
19:37How lovely.
19:38When's the wedding?
19:39Soon.
19:41But like I told you, dear, it's not for love.
19:43It's for business purposes.
19:44You fled Europe and my father was shot in the head.
19:46Still not clear on why.
19:48You don't want me hanging around Tariq St. Patrick,
19:51whose father was a drug kingpin,
19:52and now you're marrying Cain for business.
19:56Did you know when you hired him for your company
19:58that he had an arrest record for battery and theft?
20:01You can't judge people by their past, Anya.
20:04Are you kidding?
20:05That's literally what we've done our entire lives.
20:07Well, on paper, Cain may not look like much,
20:09but he has a very sharp mind.
20:10Oh, wow.
20:11Mom, the D must be really good.
20:13Excuse me?
20:14Look, I want to know the truth.
20:15I am tired of being spoon-fed crap, okay?
20:20Are the police after you?
20:23First of all, I don't need to worry, okay?
20:25No one's after me.
20:26How do you make your money, Mom?
20:27Really.
20:28Anya, you don't want to hear about a bunch of
20:30complicated, boring, corporate deals.
20:33Yes, I do, Mom.
20:34Like, my brain can handle it.
20:39Yes, ma'am.
20:45Okay, then.
20:47I'm betraying your father by telling you this,
20:49but you've given me no choice,
20:52and I imagine it's time.
20:56Your dad was a drug trafficker, Anya.
20:59Yeah.
21:00I didn't know that's what he was into when I met him.
21:05He never wanted you to know that.
21:07He never wanted you to know because he wanted to
21:09protect you from a very dangerous life,
21:11which is why you've always lived in estates
21:14while we were in Europe.
21:16But this is why I had to leave him.
21:22Dad was a criminal.
21:26Sweetheart.
21:31I hated what he was doing.
21:33The lives he was ruining peddling drugs.
21:37And that's why I made it my business to be legit.
21:41Okay?
21:43My connection to him may be why there might be
21:46some law enforcement interest in me,
21:48but you don't have to worry, okay?
21:52Sweetheart, don't worry.
21:54Oh, my dear girl.
22:02Hey.
22:04I'm her boyfriend, Brayden.
22:07Look, I know I'm not immediate family, but...
22:09I don't care about that.
22:10I just want to make sure that you haven't taken what she's taken.
22:12Her lab results came back and indicate that the cocaine
22:14that she ingested was lacewood fentanyl,
22:16which then sent her into cardiac arrest.
22:19Do you know where she got the drugs?
22:21No.
22:24Is she gonna live?
22:25Prognosis is uncertain as of yet,
22:27but I'll tell you one thing.
22:28If she was left alone, she'd be dead.
22:34No problem.
22:37Fuck.
22:59Fucking cocksucker.
23:07What the fuck happened?
23:09OD.
23:12I don't know if she's gonna make it.
23:17It's all good, bro. She'll be fine.
23:18She'll pull through.
23:24That bitch is using you, boy.
23:26She's playing you for a damn fool.
23:28A sham marriage so that crooked bitch
23:29ain't gonna put you on top?
23:30Come on, whatever it is you think you know,
23:32you ain't got nothing on me.
23:33I'm just a cop.
23:34So you're just gonna betray your mother for that bitch?
23:36Don't talk to me about betrayal.
23:38Detective Carter?
23:40Yeah.
23:41I knew he had a tie to working with him as a CI,
23:43and it was you.
23:44You really feeding this nigga information?
23:45You really snitching to Carter?
23:46Nah, King, that's not what it is.
23:48We didn't have a choice.
23:49Carter's making us work for him.
23:51And it ain't snitching if the motherfucker's a criminal, too.
23:54Plus, he sicked that fucking Felicia bitch on Diana
23:56who beat the baby out of her.
23:57Now, you know what I'm saying?
23:58You know what I'm saying?
23:59You know what I'm saying?
24:00You know what I'm saying?
24:01You know what I'm saying?
24:02You know what I'm saying?
24:04Now, you good with all of that?
24:06Ma, miss me with all this family first shit, all right?
24:09You started this.
24:10You put Noma against Carter.
24:11You can go and damn near fuck around
24:12and get me and Drew killed in the middle of all this shit.
24:14Look, King, I'm trying to protect you both.
24:16You're just looking out for yourself, as usual.
24:18I know what's best.
24:20Can't you see that's the end game?
24:22I'm trying to free y'all from all these outside motherfuckers.
24:29Okay.
24:31Here's what I'm gonna do.
24:32You're gonna, uh, put on a smile.
24:34You're gonna go out there and get one of those ugly-ass
24:36mother-of-the-groom dresses, and I'm gonna marry Noma.
24:38And I won't tell her that you're the one that raided her warehouse.
24:40I didn't fucking raid her.
24:41Stop fucking lying, all right?
24:42You think you're on the outside looking in,
24:44but Noma finds this out, you'll be stuck with Carter
24:46for the rest of your short life.
24:47Short?
24:48Yeah, or applying to be a fucking greeter at work.
24:49What you never mean, motherfucker?
24:50Yeah, whatever.
24:51Pussy-whipped ass.
24:56Lizzie?
24:57Nah, my mom's was just leaving.
24:59Nigga, I thought you was getting married.
25:01Make sure you check on your sister.
25:03Yeah, all right.
25:04Don't forget to get that application.
25:31He's an orphan.
25:32I changed that little boy's life forever.
25:34Look, Dee, I understand feeling bad for the kid,
25:36but his mother was a killer.
25:39She was into some filthy shit that'll
25:41always come back on you.
25:43Look, you had no choice, all right?
25:48But I did.
25:50I didn't have to go to her house and trick
25:52Nott with her kid upstairs.
25:53But you didn't know, Dee.
25:56Listen, she took something special from you.
26:01From us.
26:02OK?
26:03It was either you or her.
26:05We didn't do shit wrong.
26:08I shouldn't have to deal with this shit.
26:10I just want a normal life with a regular family
26:13so I could just, I don't know, do me.
26:16Hmm.
26:17Sounds good, Dee boy.
26:19We gotta be realistic.
26:21That shit is damn near impossible for us.
26:23Well, at one point it was possible.
26:26And I don't know, maybe, maybe it can happen again.
26:35You think so?
26:42Sure.
26:43Mm-hmm.
26:45Mm.
26:52Sorry, we don't need those.
26:56What do you mean, we don't need those?
26:58Is me getting pregnant again the worst thing that could happen?
27:02No, no, no, no, no.
27:04It's not that.
27:05It's not that.
27:06It's that.
27:07It's that.
27:08It's that.
27:09It's that.
27:10It's that.
27:12the worst thing that could happen?
27:14♪♪♪♪
27:19Eric.
27:21D, come on, fucker.
27:22How do you not understand?
27:25Forget it, Tariq.
27:26♪♪♪♪
27:32You know, I'm thinking,
27:34if we're gonna be one big old happy family,
27:38surely she gets to know the man who's marrying my mom.
27:41Don't you think?
27:43♪♪♪♪
27:46So, who are you?
27:49Who pays for this amazing penthouse?
27:52I do.
27:53On a bar salary?
27:55I mean, that is what you do for work, right?
27:57Tips must be great.
27:59Man, make great investments.
28:01Oh. Uh-huh.
28:02Where did you learn how to do that?
28:04From your dad, who was in prison most of your life
28:07for dealing drugs?
28:09Is that what you and my mom have in common?
28:12I don't know.
28:13You tell me, since you seem to know everything.
28:16I mean, well, you're all taught a clan, right?
28:19Not to sound offensive or anything,
28:21but you guys are like the Gaudis of the ghetto, no?
28:24-♪♪♪♪
28:28Yo, we're entrepreneurs.
28:31Does my mom sell drugs?
28:33Your mom is a badass businesswoman,
28:35something your little ass is striving to be more like
28:38instead of prying into grown folks' business.
28:40Grown folks.
28:41But here, take this.
28:44Go shopping or brunch or make a TikTok or some shit.
28:47Mm.
28:49-♪♪♪♪
28:53I won't be calling you Daddy.
28:56-♪♪♪♪
29:01We're here to bring you a gift.
29:02After that, we would like to be left the fuck alone.
29:05Oh, God, I just feel like I sound like a broken phone.
29:08That's a fucking record.
29:09You're not in charge, Red.
29:11Drew, I don't know how you fucking dealt with this
29:13as a child.
29:14What's the fucking gift?
29:17Sterling Reynolds.
29:18That's who Noma needs to bribe
29:19in order to get her government contract under control.
29:22Set her up using your high-tech toys,
29:23and you got her.
29:25Government contract.
29:27So this Noma, she's playing the majors, yeah?
29:30Which means you'll have plenty on your hands
29:31trying to keep that bitch under control.
29:33So that's what you worry about, my work-life balance, Monet?
29:35I don't give a fuck.
29:37Hey, the guy don't know.
29:39You don't need us.
29:41Get the fuck out of here.
29:43Not gonna happen.
29:44You stay ready. I'll let you know what's next.
29:46Let's go, Drew.
29:48Drew.
29:49Drew!
29:52Why you doing this?
29:54Why you acting like this?
29:55Ma, don't make it personal.
29:57Look, Drew, this is not what you want.
29:58This is not who you are.
30:00Answering to a fucking cop?
30:03I mean, reporting to him like he's your fucking boss
30:05and shit, what are you doing?
30:07I make my own choices, Monet.
30:10You and Kane do not get to decide who I'm gonna be.
30:13And I had to call Carter and loop him in,
30:15because if I didn't, his fucking task force
30:17would have hunted us down and killed us.
30:20I didn't betray this family, OK?
30:23I saved this fucking family, and you're fucking welcome.
30:25What about quitting the business?
30:27You are.
30:28Maybe it wasn't about the business.
30:31Maybe it was just doing business with family.
30:34Shut the fuck up.
30:37Who the fuck is he to you?
30:39Your father's substitute?
30:41Are you fucking serious?
30:42I shouldn't need a fucking substitute.
30:45Look, I'm being trusted to handle some king-sized shit
30:49right now, and I like it.
30:51So that's what it means to me.
30:53Look, you remember, it's still my blood
30:54that runs through your veins.
30:56You are a Tejada, no matter what.
31:03What?
31:04I know you said we didn't need to talk,
31:06but I'm here anyways, all right?
31:10I'm trying to secure my future the same way
31:11you're doing with yours.
31:12We had this argument before, and you said that already.
31:15Oh, wow.
31:16So not only do you do robot shit,
31:18but you're an actual robot.
31:20That's crazy.
31:22I'm working on Noma's assignment,
31:23and I have to get back to it.
31:25So congrats.
31:26I'm glad you're here.
31:27I'm glad you're here.
31:28I'm glad you're here.
31:29I'm glad you're here.
31:30I'm glad you're here.
31:31I'm glad you're here.
31:33Congrats, by the way.
31:34Let me know where you're registering.
31:55Yo.
31:57Club's down, man.
31:59What the fuck do you mean, club's down, man?
32:01The building got bought today.
32:04By who?
32:06Some very rich motherfucker who didn't want to be identified.
32:10Nigga, what the fuck are you talking about?
32:11Oh, I forgot.
32:13Somebody left you this.
32:31Yo, Reek, I need you.
32:55What's up?
32:56What's brought up?
32:57Yeah.
32:58I used your phone to re-up with the dirtbag who sold you the tainted shit.
33:01You down to pay him a visit tonight?
33:03Shit, what you got in mind?
33:05I just want to scare the motherfucker.
33:07I bet.
33:08I can't even want to play games.
33:34What the fuck?
33:48This nigga.
34:02New owner's jacking up the rent like it's fifth half.
34:05So we might need to find a new spot.
34:07No sweat.
34:09I've already identified another building we can use.
34:12Good soldier never waits.
34:18So normal.
34:20I'm hearing she's making more moves.
34:23I already got a plan for her.
34:25Think maybe we should hit harder?
34:28She's providing guns for the Italians in the lower east now.
34:31You certain about this?
34:32Absolutely.
34:34She's taking over the city hood by her.
34:35There couldn't be more violence.
34:39So how is this information useful?
34:42If I can't strike?
34:46She's got a gun shipment coming in tonight.
34:52My guys gonna face any resistance?
34:55Nothing y'all can handle.
35:00So natural evil versus moral evil.
35:05An earthquake versus murder.
35:08In his writings, Nietzsche argues against the concept of evil altogether.
35:14Does that describe a moral reality?
35:18Well, Nietzsche said the wisest man would be able to categorize people by more than just good and evil.
35:23Personally, having grown up in a religious household, the word gets thrown around too much.
35:27Think of how we use it to sell wars.
35:29The axis of evil.
35:31Or to excuse the mistreatment of others.
35:34Evildoers.
35:36So you agree with the notion that it's only used to demonize one's enemies?
35:40Most cases, yes.
35:42Um, Tariq?
35:44I think evil is real.
35:45I don't trust anyone that believes that there isn't any evil.
35:48They're probably evil themselves.
35:50Now to the opposing argument explored in the atrocity paradigm.
35:55Uh, Diana?
35:57No phone zone?
35:59Oh, sorry.
36:00Tell me what you thought about Card's argument.
36:06Um, sorry, what?
36:09It was the paper that I assigned you to read.
36:13Argue about why evil exists.
36:16Oh, right.
36:19I think believing in the concept of evil just means acknowledging when someone has been treated unjustly.
36:26That's what makes all of us human.
36:35Hey.
36:36Thanks for having my back in that.
36:37Oh yeah, no problem.
36:38But you know, if Mr. Simmons, he don't play, he'll fail you.
36:41Yeah?
36:42Oh, I heard about Elle.
36:44How's she doing?
36:45Touch and go.
36:46I'm still messed up about it though, you know?
36:48I'm not a monster.
36:49I ain't trying to kill nobody.
36:50Girl, I know that.
36:52But look, um, I don't have anybody else to talk to, so can I ask you something?
36:57And this time, girl, please don't say nothing.
37:00Okay, I promise.
37:02What's up?
37:03You pregnant again?
37:05No, but sometimes I feel like I want to be.
37:09I mean, that's normal after a miscarriage.
37:11Okay, well is it normal for Howard and me and Tariq were kissing or whatever?
37:14I tried to stop her from using the condo.
37:16Girl, yeah.
37:17A lot of girls do that.
37:19They start trying right away for a replacement baby.
37:21Damn, I didn't know that.
37:23Well, actually my mom got pregnant real quick after she gave up Zeke, so.
37:28Mm, so now you know how she felt.
37:30I mean, look, it's not like being a young mother wouldn't be the hardest job of your life.
37:36I mean, I got cousins who had babies as teenagers and they can't go nowhere.
37:40Can't have any dreams.
37:41Their lives just stopped.
37:43I'd say if you want the most for your life,
37:45just forget about Tariq and forget about any fairytale life that you had in your head
37:49and just focus on being a good student.
37:52Yeah.
37:56I'll see you.
37:57Hey, thanks.
38:09What the fuck are you doing here?
38:11Come on, it's a fancy school.
38:12Is that how they teach you to talk to your mother?
38:14Oh, that's what you're calling yourself?
38:15Josie, come on.
38:16Don't call me that.
38:17That's not my name.
38:18Give me a break.
38:19That's what I named you.
38:22Come on, you think I wanted to make a surprise visit here?
38:25You haven't been returning my calls.
38:32Richard left me for some young bimbo that works at the car company.
38:39And if I know you, you probably think I deserve it.
38:43But I'm really in a bad spot.
38:46I was hoping maybe, maybe you could float me some cash.
38:52The man that molested me left you.
38:56Sounds like a fucking you problem.
38:59For all my mistakes, you know, I could still be proud of my little girl.
39:05You come a long way, Josie.
39:09Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to learn how to love.
39:16Look at you, I mean, you're making it big here at the Ivy League.
39:19Whose brains you think you got, huh?
39:21That's me inside your head.
39:23Doing things I never had a chance to do.
39:28The best thing you ever did was leave.
39:32I know that.
39:34And I'm really happy that you did.
39:39If you were on fire, I wouldn't piss on you to put you out.
39:43And if you were cold, I would never let you in.
39:47If I had every single dollar in the world, I wouldn't give you a motherfucking cent.
39:52Fuck you, mom.
39:56There she is.
39:58Cold hearted, Josefina.
40:01You're a real bitch.
40:03How is anyone ever gonna love you?
40:05How is anyone ever gonna love you?
40:08Huh?
40:14We only bought her some time.
40:16Carter's still running shit.
40:17Yep, we gotta take that nigga out.
40:19Noma wanted to know Carter's plan to take her out.
40:22I think if we give her that, let her know that he was trying to set her up.
40:27Then we'll have that taken care of.
40:29She'll obviously have no choice but to...
40:30Fucking clap back at his ass.
40:32Exactly.
40:33This is some cold shit, but...
40:35It's gotta be done.
40:36It's our best play.
40:37Start a war between them.
40:39Give them the fuck off our backs.
40:41Hundred percent.
40:48I told you not to stop.
40:49Hands where I can fucking see them.
40:51Hands in the air, let's go.
40:52Stay where the fuck you're at.
40:53We got a man going around the back, let's go.
40:56Where the fuck you going?
40:57Gun down.
40:58Gun down.
41:02What the fuck do we have here?
41:10Who's gonna tell Noma this shit?
41:17This motherfucker.
41:19Too fucking far.
41:23I've been told...
41:25You're the man to see when the mayor needs a favor.
41:28I've been told you're a woman who expects the same treatment.
41:33Good evening.
41:34Our feature tonight is a vintage Bordeaux from Puyac.
41:39May I oblige?
41:40Absolutely.
41:41Please.
41:45Mmm.
41:49Now, I'd like the US government as a client, but the red tape feels insurmountable.
41:55It's not.
41:56If you know how to navigate it.
41:58Is that where you come in?
42:00If we can agree on how I can help.
42:04Please.
42:05Be direct with me.
42:06I can make whatever—
42:07Sorry I'm late.
42:08Uh, I hope I didn't miss the appetizers.
42:11No.
42:12Sterling.
42:13Davis.
42:14Thank you for taking this meeting, brother.
42:16Why is Davis in there?
42:17As you know—
42:18What the fuck is happening?
42:19Davis is my counselor.
42:21Yes, I never let my clients take a meeting alone.
42:24Sterling understands.
42:26He was a lawyer in a former life.
42:29Any starters for the table?
42:32Yes.
42:33Um, Sterling.
42:34Please, you go ahead.
42:36Fine.
42:38I'll get the, uh, the fluke.
42:40Is that good?
42:41Global.
42:42All right.
42:43And then we're gonna go with the, uh, with some oysters.
42:46I guess, uh, yeah.
42:48I'll take the octopus.
42:51It's the family.
42:52Okay.
42:53The family.
42:55Ma'am, may I take your order next?
42:57No.
42:59It was a pleasure meeting you.
43:01I'm so sorry, but something's come up.
43:03Let's do this another time.
43:04Another time?
43:05Where the fuck is she going?
43:07What the fuck is happening?
43:11I don't know.
43:19That was a close fucking call.
43:21How'd you know about this?
43:23I got wind of you.
43:24From a source close to the task force.
43:26Fuck!
43:29Tariq and Monét warned me about this, Carter.
43:31Rare occasion when those two are right.
43:33Davis.
43:35I could lose everything.
43:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
43:38Not so fast, Drag Queen, okay?
43:39Look, you still got me on your side, okay?
43:41The question is,
43:43what are you gonna do about Carter?
43:46I just missed getting arrested for a federal crime by a hair.
43:51It's obvious, isn't it?
43:53I have to neutralize the motherfucker.
43:59It's Davis.
44:00Shit worked like fucking clockwork.
44:02The cops, though?
44:03Yeah.
44:04I'm just gonna take out Detective Carter
44:05so he can get his boot off our fucking necks.
44:09Nigga, are you high?
44:11I took a mini bump to take the edge off.
44:13Take the edge off?
44:14That shit don't take no edge off for you.
44:15The other day, he was on the stage
44:16looking like Jonah Hill from fucking Wolf of Wall Street.
44:19Can you trust me for once?
44:20I'm good, Reek.
44:21Yeah, we'll see.
44:24Come on.
44:29Thanks for inviting us over.
44:30You must be Steve, you piece of shit.
44:31Who the fuck are you?
44:32Where the hell's Elle?
44:33Elle's in the hospital fighting for her life.
44:35That's the one who fucking got fucked in the leg.
44:37You can't just go.
44:38This is my operation.
44:39You like lacing your shit, Steve?
44:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
44:42Are you guys undercover or some shit?
44:43Because if she had a bad reaction,
44:45it'd be the tip.
44:46What's next line?
44:47Huh?
44:48Then take it.
44:49What?
44:50Do a line.
44:51If your shit isn't laced,
44:52it shouldn't be a fucking problem.
44:53Fucking go.
44:54Do a line.
44:55Let's go.
44:56Come on.
44:57Let's go.
44:58Do another one.
44:59Do a fucking another one.
45:00Do it.
45:01There.
45:02You happy, you crazy fuck?
45:03No, I'm not happy.
45:04Do a fucking another one.
45:05All right, be all right, be all right.
45:06That's enough.
45:07You fucking acting crazy.
45:08You're supposed to be scared.
45:09That's what the fuck I'm doing.
45:10You fucking kill him.
45:11What the fuck do I care?
45:12If it was your girl, you'd do the same.
45:13Let's fucking go.
45:14Do another one.
45:15Let's go.
45:16Do another one.
45:17What the fuck are you doing?
45:20Look at this shit, bro.
45:23Fuck.
45:24Now you see.
45:27B, what the fuck are you doing?
45:29Are you fucking crazy?
45:30Can you not think straight, bro?
45:31What the fuck?
45:32Help me get the fucking body.
45:33B, this is not supposed to work out like this.
45:35What?
45:36You're the only person that can get revenge,
45:37not me.
45:38It doesn't work like this, motherfucker.
45:39Look at you.
45:40What the fuck?
45:41This is messy.
45:42This is how we get caught.
45:43Let's go.
45:44Get a fucking rag.
45:45Fuck.
45:46Come on, come on, come on.
45:47Get out of here.
45:48Get out of here.
45:49Come on, come on.
45:50Come the fuck on.
45:57Let's go.
45:58Shit.
46:06You better not be made a fool.
46:07Oh, come on.
46:08You think he has some confidence in your man?
46:12There he is.
46:13Look, this is the guy.
46:14Monet and Tariq said it's Carter's right hand.
46:17He knows where the bodies are buried.
46:19And they said he's for sale.
46:21All you gotta do is make him an offer.
46:22Better than Carter's, and we're good.
46:33We know your operation.
46:35You've been taking cuffs from drug dealers.
46:38Detective Carter's human.
46:40Where's my 50K for this meeting?
46:45Once you agree to turn on Carter and report him to your superiors, you'll get another 500K.
46:50That's fucking chump change.
46:53The Reach is global, right?
46:55So that's not nearly enough.
46:57What do you have in mind?
46:58Seven figures up front and ongoing payment.
47:01Hey, baby.
47:03Take that, bitch.
47:05Greetings, motherfucker.
47:09I could not believe when the hospital called.
47:13Believe it.
47:15You won't be getting rid of me.
47:17Did I scare you?
47:19I thought I lost you.
47:21Oh, here is your phone back.
47:26All I remember is, this gets me in trouble.
47:32Easy access.
47:33I don't want any more of that tainted shit ever again.
47:35Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore because I took care of it.
47:41What do you mean?
47:42He's never going to sell you bad shit ever again.
47:45Or anyone else.
47:49Brayden, I hope you didn't.
47:56That's my job, to protect you.
47:58He almost fucking killed you.
47:59Fuck that guy.
48:00But he didn't.
48:01I'm still here.
48:02I didn't want that.
48:03Brayden, that's not my idea of love.
48:05It's okay.
48:06No one's going to find out.
48:07If battling an illness my entire life has taught me anything, it's that life itself is precious.
48:16I can't, I can't have this kind of guilt.
48:21You can go now, please.
48:24Denise, I got this.
48:27You gotta trust me.
48:30You on the phone?
48:32No.
48:37I thought I saw you talking to somebody.
48:38No, what's up?
48:41I'm fine.
48:43You?
48:44Sorry, I'm not sure.
48:46I thought I saw you.
48:47I don't.
48:48I don't know where you're going.
48:49I'm sorry.
48:50I'm not sure.
48:51I'm sorry.
48:52You're not gonna fucking believe this.
48:54No one tried to flip me.
48:58You gotta be fucking kidding me.
49:00This bitch, how'd she find you?
49:02I don't fucking know.
49:04You know that shit ain't happening though.
49:06Yeah.
49:08What'd she offer you?
49:10A lot of money.
49:12I ain't taking anything.
49:18So how do you want to handle this?
49:23Agree to the deal
49:25with the caveat that you must meet in person
49:27for the first payment.
49:29Alone.
49:31Cool?
49:33Yeah, gotcha.
49:39I'm putting the finishing touches on your social media.
49:41I just need you to look at them.
49:45I have backdated your post.
49:47I just need a professional picture for your work history
49:49and you can let me know what you think about it when it's done.
49:53I don't care about this shit.
49:55I don't care about you, Effie.
49:57What am I supposed to say to that, Cain?
49:59I don't know, maybe show me you have a fucking post?
50:01A post.
50:03A fucking post. Why the fuck does everybody say that?
50:05You should've told me. Why didn't you?
50:07I didn't know she was gonna wave the ring in your fucking face.
50:09Listen, she's just trying to make it seem like something that it's not.
50:11That's not what I asked you.
50:13It's business.
50:16There we go.
50:18I can deal with that.
50:20But we were supposed to be friends.
50:22And you were supposed to have my back.
50:24And for a minute, I thought you were the one person that understood me.
50:26I do.
50:28You don't.
50:30And that's been the problem my entire fucking life.
50:32Effie is always looking out for Effie.
50:34What happened to you do this one thing for Noma and you're off the hook?
50:36I don't get why
50:38it feels like I'm always being backed into a fucking corner
50:40where I gotta prove how I feel.
50:42You're the one that's leaving
50:44to go do some robot shit with some lame-ass nigga.
50:46No, don't do that.
50:48That's a cop-out and you know it.
50:56I got you.
50:58Alright? No matter what, I got you.
51:02That's all I ask.
51:10Can you show me my
51:12page that you created?
51:14I don't know.
51:34Detective Carter.
51:38What an unexpected pleasure.
51:40Niko couldn't make it, so
51:42he stuck with me.
51:44Noma.
51:48I've been riding with Niko for as long as I can remember
51:50so what you did is a
51:52serious violation.
51:54Where I'm from that requires
51:56consequences.
52:00One can respect that.
52:02But when you're surrounded by enemies
52:04you resort to whatever weapons you have handy.
52:06Enemies?
52:08Yeah.
52:10Tariq St. Patrick and Muneer Tahada
52:12said you're after me.
52:14An unfamiliar face.
52:16Wanted to know what you were about.
52:18Yeah, they didn't put it
52:20so kindly.
52:22That's ironic.
52:24They said some unflattering things about you
52:26as well. Like you
52:28planning to bribe
52:30a government official.
52:32Is that what they told you?
52:38Common enemy.
52:42Why not common goal?
52:48I'm listening.
52:50I don't want any more trouble from the NYPD
52:52and your
52:54illustrious task force.
52:56You've been using the people who work for me.
52:58Why not work with me
53:00and cut out the annoying middle bitches?
53:02I can offer you so much more.
53:04And I'm sure there's so many things
53:06you can do for me.
53:34Love me.
53:36Hate me.
53:38Run me.
53:40Chase me.
53:42Run and run and run we go.
53:44Ain't no catching me.
53:46I know what they certain to for sure.
53:48You too slow for me.
53:50That's why they hate me.
53:52Cause I'm too fast.
53:54Can't catch me.
53:56Fast like a NASCAR.
53:58Coming through the back door.
54:00I win, you lose.
54:02But I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
54:04Love me.
54:06Hate me.
54:08Run me.
54:10Chase me.
54:12Betray me.
54:14Just waiting.
54:16Gotta get me.
54:18Gotta chase me.
54:20Gotta chase me.
54:22Gotta chase me.
54:24Love me.
