00:30Previously on Ghost.
00:31Dirty 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 her.
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.
00:50Please don't act like you care about me.
01:03You know I fucking care about you.
01:04How are we killing this bitch?
01:07Killing a cop ain't the way out.
01:09Let me handle my people my way.
01:10I know what you're dealing with, but you can't kill a cop.
01:13You're right.
01:14That bitch is mine.
01:16Let's just calm down and talk about it.
01:18No!
01:18Ah!
01:19Ah!
01:19Oh!
01:20Ah!
01:20Ow!
01:21Ow!
01:21Ow!
01:22Ow!
01:22Do you like bedtime stories?
01:24Yeah.
01:24This 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.
01:39They say this is a big, rich town.
01:48I just come from the poorest part.
01:52Bright lights, city life, I gotta make it.
01:54This is where it goes down.
01:58I just happen to come up hard.
02:02Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it.
02:04I never took a straight path nowhere.
02:06Life'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, a block away from heaven.
02:18That corner ain't 15 minutes, it move a seven.
02:21Pure snow, bag it, then watch it go.
02:23Occupational options, get some blow on some hoes.
02:26Shoot the ball or the strap, learn 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, my James Bond bounce.
02:34That 007, that's 62 on my count.
02:36I'm an undercover liar.
02:38I lie under the covers, look a bitch in the eyes,
02:40and 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 light, city light, I gotta make it.
02:57This is where it goes down.
02:59Oh, yeah.
03:01I just happen to come up hard.
03:05Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it.
03:08I 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
03:37leave 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 and never
03:59take 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.
04:15To Felicia.
04:16Felicia.
04:17To Felicia.
04:28Yo.
04:29Yo.
04:32An accident.
04:34I know.
04:36What the fuck really happened?
04:41Nico, man, I know with what we do,
04:44it's natural to second guess everything.
04:48But this appears to be exactly what it says on the report.
04:53A fucking car accident, man.
05:00I 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.
05:29I mean, wipe his ass off the face of the fucking Earth.
05:32Any nigga put a gun to my head don't deserve to live.
05:34Shit, you think I don't know?
05:35I could face life in fucking prison
05:37if this motherfucker decides to make me an accessory
05:39to this fucking cop's murder.
05:40Yeah, man.
05:42I still can't believe this shit, man.
05:44You know, baby girl ain't baby girl no more.
05:46This fucking shit is stressing her out.
05:47It's fucking with her head, you know?
05:48She got to move past regret.
05:49It's for civilians.
05:50Well, fuck all that.
05:51What we doing?
05:52We need to get on this nigga's ass ASAP.
05:54I mean, look, we got to give the nigga what the fuck he wants.
05:56Noma, on the platter.
05:57Oh, man, that's going to make us weak.
05:59If we give him leverage on Noma's,
06:00what's going to stop that bitch from wanting to kill us?
06:02I mean, what about Drew?
06:03Hell no.
06:04He'll work with us, no?
06:05Drew called Carter to Felicia's house.
06:06Shh.
06:07He's up this motherfucker's ass like a fucking lap dog
06:09working his own agenda.
06:10OK, so here's what we do.
06:12We tell Carter that we're working on a leverage
06:14piece with Noma.
06:15Meanwhile, we weaponize Noma, make it seem like everything
06:17is going to be blown up on her end,
06:19and make her take out Carter.
06:20Oh, this bitch again.
06:21We got to go back and beg fucking Noma for help.
06:23Listen, we got to kiss her ass and get this nigga
06:25off of our ass, all right?
06:27I mean, they're opposites.
06:28Who the fuck else is better than when you're going
06:30against the craziest, most psychotic, corrupt cop
06:32in the fucking city?
06:33Yeah, you're fucking right.
06:34You're right, man.
06:35Shit.
06:40What is this place?
06:41This is Fourth Circle.
06:43Used to be Zion's spot.
06:45It's a dealer's playground, no cops welcome.
06:48That's why we can't use the main entrance.
06:50You're going to be overseeing the venue and the revenue
06:53like Zion did.
06:54But first, we got some people that want to welcome
06:57you to the organization.
07:09Gentlemen, this here is Drew Tejada.
07:13You got any questions before you come to me or Nico?
07:16This who you talk to.
07:18What's up?
07:24What's up?
07:30What happened to the whole Apex Ted talk?
07:32Vertical control reigning supreme.
07:34You know, that shit's going to be hard now
07:36that this motherfucker that thinks he's Denzel
07:38from training day is in the way.
07:39Carter is a cop, Rick.
07:41The head of a drug task force, OK?
07:43There's 1,000 ways this can go left,
07:45leaving us royally fucked.
07:46Sounds like you don't got my back, nigga.
07:48No, I just don't want a preemptive strike
07:50or to start a war with motherfuckers
07:52that we can't win against.
07:53You know what a task force stands for.
07:55Gang.
07:56Thugs with badges.
07:57Remember that whole Tyree nickel shit?
07:59They'll let those motherfuckers get away with 100 murders
08:01before they stop them.
08:02Yeah, and eventually they're going
08:03to kill our fucking asses.
08:04So that means we've got to take them out
08:05before they kill us.
08:06Simple as that.
08:07Yeah, no, no.
08:08Simple as that.
08:09No, Rick.
08:10Hey, come the fuck on, bro.
08:12This motherfucker has hella shit on me.
08:14I have nothing on him.
08:15And now that he thinks I work for him,
08:17backing down is not an option.
08:19And where you going anyway?
08:20You packing your shit up?
08:23I'm moving out.
08:24Finally.
08:25Okay.
08:26I'm going to see if Ellen wants to move in with me.
08:27Wait, why?
08:28What do you mean, why?
08:29Because she's my girl and I love her.
08:30That's why.
08:33What the fuck is so funny?
08:34You're really fucking losing it, huh?
08:36Do you hear yourself?
08:37Yeah.
08:38You love her?
08:39You don't even know this girl.
08:40And didn't the band just fucking walk out on us?
08:42In fact, I do know her.
08:43And I'll get the band back.
08:45In the meantime, I got all the Ivys
08:47and the knockoff Course Correct business from Effie.
08:50What the fuck are you doing?
08:51How?
08:52How did you do that?
08:53For once, I would just love for you to say thank you, Brayden.
08:57You're killing it, Brayden.
08:58Good job, Brayden.
08:59You do a lot of things without thinking it through.
09:01All right?
09:02And you've been doing it a lot lately.
09:03So I'm just wondering.
09:04That's it.
09:05Yeah, that's fine.
09:06Well, I'm moving fast and smart.
09:07And shit's working.
09:08I know what the fuck I'm doing, Reek.
09:09Okay?
09:22Detective Carter knows who you are.
09:24And he's after you.
09:25Basically, how this motherfucker operates,
09:27he doesn't like people doing business
09:28without being under his thumb.
09:29So that's an issue for you.
09:31I can solve it.
09:32I can get rid of him.
09:33And what's in it for you?
09:34To read the scam, Patrick?
09:35You know your ass always got a mangle.
09:37You're always asking the wrong shit, King.
09:38There's something in it for all of us, all right?
09:40I mean, which one of us in this room
09:41really need this NYPD ass nigga disrupting our shit?
09:44What hard evidence does this cop have on me?
09:47Does he have a witness?
09:48Surveillance?
09:49What?
09:50I mean, I don't know, boy.
09:51And how exactly are we supposed to do this?
09:52Because killing the cop ain't easy.
09:53I mean, I don't think we have a choice.
09:55Bro, the nigga's corrupt.
09:56All right?
09:57He can create fake evidence against us.
09:58He can create cases on us.
10:00He can do whatever the fuck he wants, basically.
10:02I mean, is that a chance that I want to take?
10:04Well, you didn't answer my question.
10:06What does he know about my organizations?
10:08Be specific.
10:09Look, fuck all this back and forth bullshit.
10:12Now, we're giving you top shelf information.
10:14We can map out a plan now and get back to the details later.
10:17Now, you in or not?
10:19Yeah.
10:20Basically, what we're saying is that it's only a matter of time
10:22before this nigga starts lowering the hammer on you.
10:24I'm not interested in going to war with the NYP fucking D.
10:28Fuck it.
10:29I'm out of here.
10:30I told you this was going to be some bullshit.
10:31And your ass is so fucking pussy when you just don't
10:33let this bitch get you killed.
10:35Oh, now that's not language I'd expect from my mum.
10:39Mum?
10:40Bitch, what the fuck you say?
10:42What, didn't Kane tell you?
10:43Oh, we're going to be family now.
10:45Kane's my business partner and Beyonce.
10:51Damn, mum.
10:52You're hearing right.
10:53Norma and I are getting married.
10:55Wedding, pastor, the whole works.
10:57Your invitation's in the mail, though.
10:59Kane, this fucking bitch has got you going crazy.
11:02The fuck is this?
11:03Love, of course.
11:04Bullshit.
11:05Word.
11:06Good luck with your fucking stupid ass love.
11:09Ta-da.
11:10Well, you two now are on Detective Carter's radar.
11:14This little love bullshit y'all got going on
11:16is just a double jump, boss.
11:26Listen, we got leverage.
11:29We both know Detective Carter's dirty.
11:31No, that's not close enough.
11:33Find out what Carter really knows about me
11:35and how the fuck he got my name.
11:44That's something wrong with Elle.
11:47What?
11:48What the fuck happened?
11:49She was doing coke, and then she said
11:50she wasn't feeling so hot.
11:51And the next thing you know, she just fucking passed out.
11:52Look, there are drugs all over this fucking floor.
11:54Who gave her the coke?
11:55Shut the fuck up.
11:56Because she has sickle cell.
11:57Call 911.
11:58I didn't want to do that.
11:59Fucking call.
12:05All right, FYI, I'm charging extra for this house call.
12:11I have all the documents you requested.
12:14Living will and bank statements, tax filings,
12:18prenup agreement.
12:19So are you going on a run or getting married?
12:25The second one.
12:26I was talking to the lady, my guy.
12:28Yeah, it's true.
12:29Kane and I are getting married, and everything
12:31needs to be airtight so it holds up against government
12:34scrutiny, ICE, 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.
12:43Given Wiley Adams' untimely demise, this had to be done.
12:47Yeah.
12:48There was no need to consult me.
12:49Yeah, so it seems like your work here is done.
12:52Fake ass, shiny cocksucker.
12:54I got your text.
12:55What's up?
12:56Hey, whatever freak shit y'all got going on,
12:58I'm not into that.
13:00I second that emotion.
13:01Sit.
13:05We need your computer expertise.
13:07I'm marrying Kane.
13:12He did a decent job, didn't he?
13:14This ring weighs an absolute ton.
13:17She's fucking with you.
13:18It's marriage for hire, strictly business.
13:20Well, it's more like business with benefits, right, love?
13:23Anyway, our nuptials need to appear rock solid,
13:26so any dalliance between you two is now over.
13:29Oh, yeah, you got it.
13:31That's done.
13:34Can I go now?
13:35No, sweetie.
13:36Kane's a caveman.
13:38He has no social media footprint.
13:40I need you to create one for him
13:42so he looks legitimate as my husband.
13:44I'm thinking a LinkedIn page,
13:46an employee profile at my company,
13:49maybe a college profile, actually,
13:52and some happy couple photos on IG,
13:55you know, that sort of thing.
13:56Kane with a college profile.
13:59Make sure that shit is community college.
14:01Fuck you.
14:02Fuck you back.
14:03This needs to look real.
14:05You can do this, yes?
14:06I can do my best, but I'm not a wizard.
14:08If somebody looks hard enough,
14:09they can find what they're looking for.
14:11Well, that sounds like a personal problem.
14:13You're on payroll,
14:14so it'll be your job to cover your tracks, then.
14:17Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
14:24Look, F.
14:25It's business. I got it.
14:26There's nothing to talk about.
14:27Come on, honey.
14:29What's the point of pillow talk
14:31if you're not going to talk?
14:33Well, he came up with a solution.
14:35Yeah.
14:36I, uh...
14:37I make him the American face of my subsidiary
14:41so that I can get the U.S. contracts pronto,
14:44and then the marriage and the prenup
14:46protect my assets until I become a citizen.
14:48I mean, that's the plan.
14:51Well, you probably would have come up with it yourself
14:53if you weren't in the midst of your own divorce.
14:55Oh, well, thank you for reminding me, okay?
14:58I thought that, uh, we had an understanding
15:00as growing business partners.
15:02Partners?
15:03Yes.
15:04I understand your practice is underwater,
15:07and you see me as a meal ticket,
15:09but don't be silly, Davis.
15:10Like my tongue game?
15:12I wouldn't underestimate my comeback game.
15:14Despite your tongue game,
15:16our relationship has limitations, love.
15:19Besides, you know I'm more of a one-woman show.
15:32Why the fuck they trying to hurry up and get married?
15:34This shit is stupid, man.
15:35Yeah, I'm just as shocked as you are.
15:38But why do you need to know the why?
15:40To take down Carter.
15:42Tried to get Norman to do it, but she ain't biting.
15:44So we gotta give all the leverage
15:45that we got on Norman to Carter.
15:46To get him off our backs
15:47so he can figure out our next move.
15:49That's where you come in.
15:50Norman's my client.
15:51Nigga, you trying to protect this bitch
15:53when I gave you the inside job order?
15:55The fuck?
15:57The allegiance is with me.
15:58Okay, and did this bitch even consult to you
16:00about marrying Kane?
16:01She's not in it for you.
16:02She's in it for herself.
16:03Little nigga, you need to calm the fuck down.
16:06Any pertinent information I give you
16:08means I'm compromising
16:09all business dealings with Noma
16:10if she were ever to find out I told you.
16:14I mean, you all preach about allegiance.
16:17Well, Mr. Ravemakeover is gonna need some in return.
16:19Sure, if you wanna end up like Obi.
16:21That's what allegiance with Noma gets you,
16:23a knife to the fucking neck.
16:24You don't think I get it?
16:26She's a shifty bitch.
16:27I mean, you two aren't any better.
16:29With that being said, my allegiance is with you.
16:33Well, then tell us what the fuck is up,
16:35because you clearly know what this sneaky bitch is up to.
16:38Never forget who came through for you during clutch time,
16:42who always comes through for both your asses.
16:45Yes, of course.
16:48Right now, this is what matters to Noma.
16:51Aircraft Global.
16:52What the fuck is this?
16:54It's her front business.
16:56It washes her drug money,
16:57but she's under too much scrutiny in Europe.
16:59So in order to secure a contract
17:01to sell her jet engine parts to the U.S. government,
17:03Aircraft Global must be owned by an American citizen.
17:07I don't understand.
17:08I don't understand.
17:09I don't understand.
17:10I don't understand.
17:11I don't understand.
17:12I don't understand.
17:13I don't understand.
17:14Aircraft Global must be owned by an American citizen.
17:17Kane.
17:18Exactly.
17:19The marriage will allow Noma to become naturalized.
17:21The prenup will protect her assets
17:23until she can reclaim her company.
17:25So basically, Kane is just a straw man.
17:27Essentially.
17:28And a dumbass.
17:29Yeah.
17:30After 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.
17:40Float that name by Carter.
17:42He'll have all the leverage he needs.
17:44All right, Ben.
17:45Ben.
17:46God is with you, Davis.
17:47Appreciate you.
17:49As always.
17:56Oh!
17:57Oh!
17:58Oh!
17:59Oh!
18:00Oh!
18:01Oh!
18:02Oh!
18:03Oh!
18:04Oh!
18:05Oh!
18:06Oh!
18:07Oh!
18:08Oh!
18:09Oh!
18:10Oh!
18:12Oh!
18:13Oh!
18:14How did you find me here, man?
18:16Come on, baby, I've been here.
18:17You're the one that's brand new and shit.
18:19I'm hearing you're the man around here.
18:22I'm just hoping you're not getting too caught up
18:24Carter's ass.
18:26Nigga, what do you want?
18:27Your flip-flopping ass was a soldier for Noma.
18:29I just want to make sure Betty Crocker ain't giving away
18:31all the fucking recipes.
18:32All right, you trying to get punched the fuck out of me?
18:34Only if you promise not to hit like a bitch.
18:37Noma don't mean shit to Carter.
18:39He can take out whomever he wants
18:42at whatever time he wants.
18:44So you've been drinking the Kool-Aid?
18:46It's better than drinking Noma's stank-ass bathwater.
18:48I mean, nigga, really? Working for Noma?
18:50Working 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?
19:00Good luck, man. Let's see how long this works out for you.
19:03Let's see how long Marion Boss works out for you.
19:06Monet told me that Noma's marrying to help.
19:10You're a step above a poor boy.
19:12Don't give a fuck about you.
19:13You're another fall guy for her.
19:15You can't see that.
19:19No, no, no.
19:21No, you can't.
19:23Oh, my bad.
19:26Come back and have a drink with your brother sometime.
19:31Oh, my God.
19:32So you're marrying a cop?
19:34Oh, my God.
19:35So you're marrying a thug half your age?
19:37How lovely.
19:38When's the wedding?
19:39Soon.
19:40But like I told you, dear, it's not for love.
19:42It'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,
19:50whose father was a drug kingpin,
19:52and now you're marrying Kane for business.
19:55Did you know, when you hired him for your company,
19:57that he had an arrest record for battery and theft?
20:00You 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, Kane may not look like much,
20:09but he has a very sharp mind.
20:11Oh, wow.
20:12Mom, the D must be really good.
20:14Excuse me?
20:15Look, I want to know the truth.
20:16I am tired of being spoon-fed crap, okay?
20:21Are the police after you?
20:24First of all, I don't want you to worry, okay?
20:26No one's after me.
20:27How do you make your money, Mom?
20:28Really?
20:29Anya, you don't want to hear about a bunch of
20:31complicated, boring, corporate divas?
20:33Yes, I do, Mom.
20:34Like, my brain can handle it.
20:47Okay, then.
20:49I'm betraying your father by telling you this,
20:51but you've given me no choice,
20:54and I imagine it's time.
20:58Your dad was a drug trafficker, Anya.
21:01Yeah.
21:02I didn't know that's what he was into
21:04when I met him.
21:07He never wanted you to know
21:08because he wanted to protect you
21:10from 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.
21:25Yeah.
21:27Sweetheart.
21:31I hated what he was doing.
21:34The lives he was ruining peddling drugs.
21:37And that's why I made it my business to be legit.
21:42Okay?
21:44My connection to him
21:45may be why there might be some
21:47law enforcement interest in me,
21:49but you don't have to worry, okay?
21:51Sweetheart, don't worry.
21:54Oh, where did it go?
22:02Hey.
22:04I'm her boyfriend, Brayden.
22:06Look, I know I'm not immediate family, but...
22:08I don't care about that.
22:09I just want to make sure
22:10that you haven't taken what she's taken.
22:11Her lab results came back and indicate
22:13that the cocaine that she ingested
22:14was laced with fentanyl,
22:16which then sent her into cardiac arrest.
22:18Do 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.
22:34You're welcome.
22:51Fuck.
22:55These fucking cocksuckers.
23:09Wait.
23:10What the fuck happened?
23:12OD.
23:15I don't know if she's gonna make it.
23:17It's all good, bro. She'll be fine.
23:18She'll put through.
23:23That bitch is using you, boy.
23:25She's playing you for a damn fool.
23:27A sham marriage to that crooked bitch
23:28ain't gonna put you on top?
23:29Ma, whatever it is you think you know,
23:31it doesn't matter, all right?
23:32I'm with Noma now.
23:33She's gonna be my wife.
23:34So you're just gonna betray
23:35your mother for that bitch?
23:36Don't talk to me about betrayal.
23:38Detective Carter?
23:40Yeah.
23:41I'm with Noma now.
23:42She's gonna be my wife.
23:43So you're just gonna betray
23:44your mother for that bitch?
23:46Yeah.
23:47I knew you had a tie to working
23:48with him as a CI.
23:49And it was you.
23:50You really feeding this nigga information?
23:51You really snitching to Carter?
23:52Nah, Cain.
23:53That's not what it is.
23:54We didn't have a choice.
23:55Carter's making us work for him.
23:57And it ain't snitching
23:58if the motherfucker's a criminal, too.
24:00Plus, he sicked that fucking Felicia bitch
24:02on Diana who beat the baby out of her.
24:04Now, you good with all of that?
24:05Ma.
24:06Miss me with all this family first shit,
24:08all right?
24:09You started this.
24:10You putting Noma against Carter.
24:11You can go and damn near fuck around
24:12and get me and Drew killed
24:13in the middle of all this shit.
24:14Look, Cain,
24:16I'm trying to protect you both.
24:17Nah, you're just looking out
24:18for yourself, as usual.
24:19I know what's best.
24:20Can't you see that's the end game?
24:22I'm trying to free y'all
24:23from all these outside motherfuckers.
24:25Okay.
24:26Here's what I'm gonna do.
24:27You're gonna put on a smile.
24:28You're gonna go out there
24:29and get one of those ugly-ass
24:30mother-of-the-groom dresses,
24:31and I'm gonna marry Noma.
24:32And I won't tell her
24:33that you're the one
24:34that raided her warehouse.
24:35I didn't fucking raid her.
24:36Stop fucking lying, all right?
24:37You think you're on the outside
24:38looking in,
24:39but Noma found out
24:40that you're the one
24:41that raided her warehouse.
24:42I didn't fucking raid her.
24:43You think you're on the outside
24:44looking in,
24:45but Noma finds this out,
24:46you'll be stuck with Carter
24:47for the rest of your short life.
24:48Short?
24:49Yeah, or applying to be
24:50a fucking greeter at work.
24:51What do you have with me,
24:52motherfucker?
24:53Yeah, whatever.
24:54Pussy-whipped ass.
24:57Busy?
24:58Nah, my mom's was just leaving.
24:59Nigga, I thought
25:00you was getting married.
25:02Make sure you check on your sister.
25:03Yeah, all right.
25:04Don't forget to get
25:05that application.
25:13Come on.
25:33He's an orphan.
25:34I changed that little boy's
25:35life forever.
25:36Look, Dee,
25:37I understand feeling bad
25:38for the kid,
25:39but his mother was a killer.
25:41She was into some
25:43filthy shit that'll
25:44always come back on you.
25:46Look,
25:48you had no choice,
25:49all right?
25:50But I did.
25:52I didn't have to go
25:53to her house
25:54and trick Nat with
25:55her kid upstairs.
25:56But you didn't know, Dee.
25:58Listen,
26:00she took something special
26:02from you,
26:03from us.
26:04Okay?
26:05It was either you
26:06or her.
26:07You didn't do shit wrong.
26:10I shouldn't have to deal
26:11with this shit.
26:13I just want
26:14a normal life
26:15with a regular family
26:16so I could just,
26:17I don't know,
26:18do me.
26:19Hmm.
26:20Sounds good, Dee boy.
26:22We gotta be realistic.
26:24That shit is damn near
26:25impossible for us.
26:31Well, at one point
26:32it was possible.
26:35And
26:37I don't know,
26:38maybe
26:41maybe it can happen again.
26:43You think so?
26:50Sure.
26:51Mm-hmm.
27:07Tariq,
27:08we don't need those.
27:09What do you mean
27:10we don't need those?
27:11Is me getting pregnant again
27:12the worst thing
27:13that could happen?
27:20Tariq,
27:22Dee, come the fuck on.
27:23How do you not understand?
27:25Forget it, Tariq.
27:33You know,
27:34I'm thinking
27:35if we're gonna be
27:36one big ol'
27:37happy family,
27:38surely
27:39she'd get to know
27:41what it's like
27:42being my mom.
27:43Don't you think?
27:47So,
27:49who are you?
27:50Who pays for this
27:51amazing penthouse?
27:53I do.
27:55On a bar salary?
27:56I mean, that is
27:57what you do for work, right?
27:59Tips must be great.
28:01Man, make
28:02great investments.
28:03Oh.
28:04Mm-hmm.
28:05Where did you learn
28:06how to do that?
28:07From your dad
28:08who was in prison
28:09most of your life
28:11What does my mom
28:12have in common?
28:14I don't know.
28:15You tell me
28:16since you seem
28:17to know everything.
28:18I mean, well,
28:19you're all
28:20T'Challa clan,
28:21right?
28:22Not to sound
28:23offensive or anything,
28:24but you guys are
28:25like the goddies
28:26of the ghetto.
28:27No?
28:30Yo.
28:31We're entrepreneurs.
28:33Does my mom
28:34sell drugs?
28:36Your mom is a
28:37badass business woman.
28:38Something

28:42But here,

28:55be calling you daddy.
29:01We're here to bring
29:02you a gift.
29:03After that,
29:04we would like to be
29:05left the fuck alone.
29:06Oh, God.
29:07I just feel like I sound
29:08like a broken
29:09guitar, Dred.
29:10Drew,
29:11I don't know how you
29:12fucking dealt with this
29:13as a child.
29:14What's the fucking gift?
29:16Sterling Reynolds.
29:17That's who Noma
29:18needs to bribe in order
29:19to get her government
29:20contract under control.
29:21Set her up using
29:22your high-tech toys
29:23and you got her.
29:24Government contract?
29:26So this Noma,
29:27she's playing
29:28the majors, yeah?
29:29Which means you'll have
29:30plenty on your hands
29:31trying to keep that bitch
29:32under control.
29:33So that's what you worry
29:34about, my work-life balance,
29:35Monet?
29:36I don't give a fuck.
29:37Monet's right.
29:38You don't need us?
29:40The fuck outta here.
29:42Not gonna happen.
29:43You stay ready.
29:44I'll let you know
29:45what's next.
29:46Let's go, Drew.
29:47Drew.
29:48Drew!
29:51Why you doing this?
29:52Why you acting like this?
29:54Ma, don't make it personal.
29:56Look, Drew,
29:57this is not what you want.
29:58This is not who you are.
29:59Answering to a fucking cop?
30:01I mean,
30:02reporting to him
30:03like he's your fucking boss
30:04or some shit?
30:05What are you doing?
30:06I make my own choices,
30:07Monet.
30:09You and Kane
30:10do not
30:11get to decide
30:12who I'm gonna be.
30:13And I had to call Carter
30:14and loop him in
30:15because if I didn't,
30:16his fucking task force
30:17would've hunted us down
30:18and killed us.
30:19I didn't betray this family,
30:21okay?
30:22I saved this fucking family,
30:24and you're fucking welcome.
30:25What about quitting the business?
30:26You are.
30:28Maybe it wasn't
30:29about the business.
30:30Maybe it was
30:31just doing business
30:32with family.
30:35Chill the fuck out.
30:37Who the fuck is he to you?
30:39Your father's substitute?
30:40Are you fucking serious?
30:41I shouldn't need
30:42a fucking substitute.
30:45Look, I am being
30:46trusted
30:47to handle some
30:48king-size shit right now,
30:49and I like it.
30:50So that's what it means to me.
30:52Look, you remember,
30:53it's still my blood
30:54that runs through your veins.
30:56You are a Tejada
30:57no matter what.
30:58What?
31:08What?
31:11I know you said
31:12we didn't need to talk,
31:13but I'm here anyways,
31:15all right?
31:16I'm trying to secure
31:17my future the same way
31:18you're doing with yours.
31:19We had this argument before
31:20and you said that already.
31:21Oh, wow.
31:22So not only do you
31:23do robot shit,
31:24but you're an actual robot.
31:25That's crazy.
31:28I'm working on
31:29Noma's assignment
31:30and I have to get back to it.
31:31So...
31:32Congrats, by the way.
31:33Let me know
31:34where you register.
31:55Yo.
31:57Club's down, man.
31:59What the fuck you mean
32:00club's down, man?
32:01Building got bought today.
32:03By who?
32:05Some very rich motherfucker
32:07who didn't want to be identified.
32:09Nigga, what the fuck
32:10are you talking about?
32:11Oh, I forgot.
32:12Somebody left you this.
32:27I'm sorry.
32:29That's that old school love.
32:33Come on.
32:34Yeah.
32:35That old school love.
32:37Hey, one time.
32:39That's...
32:40I have not.
32:53Yo, Riq.
32:54I need you.
32:55What's up? What you brought out?
32:57Yeah. I used her phone to re-up with the dirtbag who sold her 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.
33:18I can't even walk like games.
33:20Let's play, motherfucker.
33:25This way.
33:49This way.
33:56New owner's jacking up the rent like it's fifth half.
34:00So we might need to find a new spot.
34:02No sweat.
34:04I've already identified another building we can use.
34:07Good soldier never waits.
34:13So, Noma.
34:15I'm hearing she's making more moves.
34:18Yeah, I already got a plan for her.
34:20I'm hearing she's making more moves.
34:23Yeah, I already got a plan for her.
34:25I think maybe we should hit harder.
34:28She's providing guns for the Italians in the Lower East now.
34:31You certain about this?
34:33Absolutely.
34:34She's taking over the city, her by her. There couldn't be more violence.
34:39So how is this information useful?
34:43If I can't strike?
34:46She's got a gun shipment coming in tonight.
34:51My guy's going to face some resistance?
34:54Nothing you can't handle.
34:59So natural evil versus moral evil.
35:03Okay?
35:04An earthquake versus murder.
35:07Now, in his writings, Nietzsche argues against the concept of evil altogether.
35:13Does that describe a moral reality?
35:17Well, Nietzsche said the wisest man would be able to categorize people by more than just good and evil.
35:21For me, having grown up in a religious household, the word gets thrown around too much.
35:26Think of how we use it to sell wars.
35:28The axis of evil.
35:30Or to excuse the mistreatment of others.
35:33Evildoers.
35:34So you agree with the notion that it's only used to demonize one's enemies?
35:39Most cases, yes.
35:41Um, Tariq?
35:43I think evil is real.
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?
36:08It was the paper that I assigned you to read.
36:13Argue about why evil exists.
36:15Oh, right.
36:17Um, I think believing in the concept of evil just means acknowledging when someone has been treated unjustly.
36:25That's what makes all of us human.
36:34Hey.
36:35Thanks for having my back in there.
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. How'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.
37:01I 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 how when me and Tariq were kissing or whatever, I tried to stop him from using the condom?
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, just forget about Tariq and forget about any fairytale life that you had in your head and just focus on being a good student.
37:52Yeah.
37:56I'll see you.
37:57Hey, thanks.
38:07Hey.
38:09What the fuck are you doing here?
38:11Come on, it's a fancy school. Is 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. That's not my name.
38:18Give me a break. That'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.
38:28Richard left me for some young bimbo that works at the car company.
38:34And if I know you, you probably think I deserve it, but I'm really in a bad spot.
38:41I was hoping maybe, maybe you could float me some cash.
38:48The man that molested me left you.
38:51Sounds like fucking new people.
38:53The man that molested me left you.
38:56Sounds like a fucking new 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? That's me inside your head.
39:23Doing things I never had a chance to do.
39:28The best thing you ever did was leave.
39:31I know that.
39:33And I'm really happy that you did.
39:41If you were on fire, I wouldn't piss on you to put you out.
39:45And if you were cold, I would never let you in.
39:48If I had every single dollar in the world, I wouldn't give you a motherfucking cent.
39:54Fuck you, mom.
39:58There she is. Cold hearted, Josefina.
40:02You're a real bitch.
40:05How is anyone ever gonna love you?
40:08Huh?
40:14We only bought us some time. The cart is still running shit.
40:18We gotta take that nigga out.
40:20Norma wanted to know Carter's plan to take her out.
40:23I 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. She'll obviously have no choice but to...
40:31Fucking clap back at his ass.
40:33Some cold shit, but it's gotta be done.
40:37It's our best play. Start a war between them, get them to fuck off our backs.
40:41Hundred percent.
40:48I told you not to stop.
40:50Hands where I can fucking see them. Hands in the air. Let's go.
40:53Stay where the fuck you're at. We got a man going around the back. Let's go.
40:56Where the fuck you going? Gun down.
41:01What the fuck do we have here?
41:10Who's gonna tell Norma this shit?
41:13This motherfucker took fucking four.
41:20I've been told you're the man to see when the mayor needs a favor.
41:25I've been told you're a woman who expects the same treatment.
41:29Good evening. Our feature tonight is a vintage Bordeaux from Puyac.
41:35May I oblige?
41:37Absolutely.
41:44I'd like the U.S. government as a client, but the red tape feels insurmountable.
41:50It's not, if you know how to navigate it.
41:53Is that where you come in?
41:55If we can agree on how I can help.
41:59Please, be direct with me. I can make whatever...
42:03Sorry I'm late.
42:04I hope I didn't miss the appetizers.
42:06No one.
42:08Sterling. Davis.
42:10Thank you for taking this meeting, brother.
42:12Why is Davis in there?
42:13As you know...
42:14What the fuck is happening?
42:15Davis is my counselor.
42:17Yes, I never let my clients take a meeting alone.
42:20Sterling understands. He was a lawyer in a former life.
42:24Any starters for the table?
42:28Yes.
42:29Any starters for the table?
42:33Yes. Sterling, please. You go ahead.
42:37Fine.
42:39I'll get the fluke. Is that good?
42:43I'm going to go with the oysters.
42:47I guess I'll take octopus.
42:55May 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?
43:18That was a close fucking call.
43:21How'd you know about this?
43:23I got wind of it. From a source close to the task force.
43:26Fuck!
43:28Tarika Mané warned me about this, Carter.
43:31Rare occasion when those two are right.
43:33Davis, I could lose everything.
43:36No, no, no. Not so fast, Drag Queen.
43:38Look, you still got me on your side, okay?
43:41The question is, what are you going to do about Carter?
43:46I just miss getting arrested for a federal crime by a hair.
43:51It's obvious, isn't it?
43:53I have to neutralize the motherfucker.
43:58It's Davis.
43:59This shit work like fucking clockwork.
44:00The cop stuff?
44:01Yeah.
44:02I'm just going to take out Detective Carter so he can get his boot off our fucking necks.
44:08Nigga, are you high?
44:10I took a mini bump to take the edge off.
44:11Take the edge off? That shit don't take no edge off for you.
44:13The other day he was on the stage looking like Jonah Hill from fucking Wolf of Wall Street.
44:18Can you trust me for once?
44:19I'm good, Reek.
44:20Yeah, we'll see.
44:22Come on.
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.
44:35So she sent us.
44:37You can't just go...
44:38This is my operation.
44:39You like lace in your shit, Steve?
44:41Wait, wait, wait. Are you guys undercover or some shit?
44:43Because if she had a bad reaction, Amy the Ditch...
44:46Snitch is mine.
44:48Then take it.
44:49What?
44:50Do a line.
44:51If your shit isn't lace, it shouldn't be a fucking problem.
44:53Fucking go. Do a line.
44:55Let's go.
44:56Come on.
44:57Let's go. Do another one.
44:58Do a fucking another one.
44:59Do it.
45:01You happy? You crazy?
45:02No, I'm not happy.
45:03Do a fucking another one.
45:04Be all right, be all right, be all right.
45:05That's enough of you fucking acting crazy.
45:07You're supposed to be scared of this.
45:08That's what the fuck I'm doing.
45:09Fucking kill him.
45:10What the fuck do I care?
45:11If 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.
45:17Where the fuck are you going?
45:19Look at this shit, bro.
45:27What the fuck are you doing?
45:29Are you fucking crazy?
45:30You're not thinking straight, bro.
45:32What the fuck?
45:33Help me get the fucking body.
45:34This is not supposed to work out like this.
45:35What? You're the only person that can get revenge, not me.
45:37It doesn't work like this, motherfucker.
45:38Look at you.
45:39What the fuck?
45:40This is messy.
45:41This is how we get caught.
45:42Let's go.
45:43Get a fucking rag.
45:45Fuck.
45:46Come on.
45:47Get down here.
45:48Get down here.
45:50Come the fuck on.
45:57Let's go.
45:58Shit.
46:06You better not be made a fool.
46:07Come on.
46:08Can you have some confidence in your man?
46:12There he is.
46:13Look, this is the guy.
46:14When they intrigued, said it's Carter's right hand.
46:16He knows where the bodies are buried.
46:18And they said he's for sale.
46:20All you gotta do is make him an offer.
46:22Better than Carter's, and we're good.
46:32We know your operation.
46:34You've been taking cuts from drug dealers.
46:37Detective Carter's human war.
46:39Where's my 50K for this meeting?
46:45Once you agree to turn on Carter and report him to your superiors,
46:48you'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.
47:03Ain't that a bitch?
47:05Greetings, motherfucker.
47:11I could not believe when the hospital called.
47:14Believe it.
47:16You won't be getting rid of me.
47:18Did I scare you?
47:20I thought I lost you.
47:23Oh, here is your phone back.
47:28All I remember is,
47:30this gets me in trouble.
47:33Easy access.
47:34I don't want any more of that tainted shit ever again.
47:39You don't have to worry about that anymore because I took care of it.
47:42What do you mean?
47:43He's never going to sell you bad shit ever again.
47:46Or anyone else.
47:50Brayden, I hope...
47:54You didn't...
47:57That's my job, to protect you.
47:59He almost fucking killed you. Fuck that guy.
48:01But he didn't.
48:02I'm still here.
48:04I didn't want that.
48:05Brayden, that's not my idea of love.
48:07It's okay. No one's going to find out.
48:09It's okay. No one's going to find out.
48:10If battling an illness my entire life has taught me anything,
48:13it's that life itself is precious.
48:19I...
48:20I can't...
48:21I can't have this kind of guilt.
48:25You can go now, please.
48:36Denise, I got this.
48:38You got to trust me.
48:41You on the phone?
48:43No.
48:47I thought I saw you talking to somebody.
48:49No, what's up?
48:52You're not going to fucking believe this.
48:54Noma tried to flip me.
48:58You got to be fucking kidding me.
49:00This bitch, how'd she find you?
49:02I don't fucking know.
49:03You know that shit ain't happening though.
49:05Yeah.
49:08What'd she offer you?
49:10A lot of money.
49:13I didn't take anything.
49:19So how do you want to handle this?
49:24Agree to the deal.
49:25With the caveat that you must meet in person for the first payment.
49:30Alone.
49:31Cool?
49:33Yeah, I got you.
49:38I'm putting the finishing touches on your social media.
49:40I just need you to look at them.
49:44I have backdated your post.
49:46I just need a professional picture for your work history
49:48and then you can let me know what you think about it when it's done.
49:53I don't care about this shit.
49:54I don't care about you, Effie.
49:57What am I supposed to say to that, Kane?
49:59I don't know, maybe show me you have a fucking post?
50:01A post.
50:02A fucking post.
50:03Why the fuck does everybody say that?
50:04You should have told me.
50:05Why didn't you?
50:06I didn't know she was going to wave the ring in your fucking face.
50:09Listen, she's just trying to make it seem like something that it's not.
50:12That's not what I asked you.
50:14It's business.
50:17There 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.
50:23And for a minute, I thought you were the one person that understood me.
50:27I do.
50:28You don't.
50:29And that's been the problem my entire fucking life.
50:31Effie is always looking out for Effie.
50:33What happened to you do this one thing for Noma and you're off the hook?
50:36I don't get why it feels like I'm always being backed into a fucking corner.
50:40Where I gotta prove how I feel.
50:43You're the one that's leaving to go do some robot shit with some lame ass nigga.
50:47No, 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.
51:03That's all I ask?
51:05Yeah.
51:11Can you show me my page that you created?
51:14I don't know.
51:35Detective Carter.
51:38What an unexpected pleasure.
51:41Nico couldn't make it, so he stuck with me.
51:46Noma.
51:48I've been riding with Nico for as long as I can remember.
51:51So what you did is a serious violation.
51:56Where I'm from that requires consequences.
52:02I can respect that.
52:04But when you're surrounded by enemies, you resort to whatever weapons you have handy.
52:08Enemies?
52:09Yeah.
52:10Tariq St. Patrick and Melita Harder said you're after me.
52:14An unfamiliar face.
52:16Wanted to know what you were about.
52:18Yeah, they didn't put it so kindly.
52:22That's ironic.
52:24They said some unflattering things about you as well.
52:27Like you planning to bribe a government official.
52:31Is that what they told you?
52:32Mm-hmm.
52:39Common enemy?
52:42Why not common goal?
52:49I'm listening.
52:51I don't want any more trouble from the NYPD and your illustrious task force.
52:56You've been using the people who work for me.
52:58Why not work with me and cut out the annoying middle bitches?
53:01I can offer you so much more.
53:05And I'm sure there's so many things you can do for me.
53:29Gotta chase me.
53:30Gotta chase me.
53:32Gotta chase me.
53:33Gotta chase me.
53:35Love me.
53:36Hate me.
53:38Running.
53:39Chase me.
53:41Running, running, running, we go.
53:43Ain't no catching me.
53:44I know what they certain to for sure.
53:46You too slow for me.
53:47That's why they hate me.
53:49Cause I'm too fast.
53:50Can't catch me.
53:51Can't catch me.
53:53Fast like a NASCAR.
53:55Coming through the back door.
53:56I ain't winning.
53:57You lose.
53:58This is what you ask for.
54:00Trying to set a trap for me.
54:02But I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
54:05Love me.
54:06Hate me.
54:08Running.
54:09Chase me.
54:11Plotting.
54:12Betray me.
54:14Just waiting.
54:15Yet again me.
54:17Gotta chase me.
54:18Gotta chase me.
54:20Gotta chase me.
54:21Gotta chase me.
54:23Love me.
54:27Love me.
54:39Now it's a fucking war.
54:42It's time for Carter and Norma to go.
54:48They've been plotting against me.
54:50Fucking with our business.
54:52Tariq, you'll have to take out Carter.
54:55I'm fucking tired of those motherfuckers thinking they can stand against me.
55:00What the fuck you gonna do now, Tariq?
