Jason's looking for new distro.

His present one

-I'm out.

You know that back door

Yeah, the service door.

Turn the alarm off.

Get the fuck

Are you trying to hurt my dad?

[Tommy]
Nah...

I ain't gonna hurt your dad.

Tommy, w-what

Go to your Uncle Benny's

This ain't fucking over.

It is for you.

Your son--your godson--Tariq,

I caught him trying

I'm gonna fucking

No, I'm gonna kill him

unless you give me
$2 million.

-[Tariq] What'd they say?
-You were right, kid.

As long as Ghost and Tommy
think you're in danger,

they'll do anything to cover
what you owe me.

Look, man, thanks,
all right?

I appreciate you doing this
even though you don't have to.

You're right, Ghost.

I don't.

What the hell is all this
product in here?

I need all of it moved
in the next 24 hours,

and I need it done
with no questions asked.

And one more thing.

I kinda can't pay you

A'ight, fuck it.

Don't ask me to do
no shit like this again, man.

Wake up.

I said wake the fuck up.
Sleepy time's over,
little motherfucker.

-Let's go.
-You got a fucking gun on me?

Back door for the penthouse.

You left it open for Tommy.
Why?

I thought it'd lock behind me.

Hm, keep lying, Tariq.

You're not gonna shoot me,
so stop this Scared Straight
bullshit now.

"I don't know what happened,
Mr. Officer.

Quite frankly, my son
just was never the same
after his sister died.

He got expelled from school.

He was under the pressure
of the police.

I don't know how he got a gun.

I guess he just didn't feel
like his life

was worth living anymore.

I failed him as a father."

Not gonna kill me.

I'm your son.

You know why Kanan
killed his son, huh?

You know why Kanan
put a fucking bullet
in Shawn's head?

Because Shawn was disloyal.

If you were anybody else,
Tariq, you'd already be dead.

Yeah, little nigga,
the moment you let Tommy

in the penthouse to kill me

was the moment you were
no longer my son,

and now you're my enemy.

He swore he wasn't
gonna hurt you.

-And you believed that shit?
-I don't know
why he was there.

Bullshit, you didn't even
call to see if I was home,

and then you take Elisa Marie
out so she doesn't get hurt?

Why, huh?
Why you trying to help Tommy?

'Cause he wasn't gonna
hurt you, and I owed him!

You owe me, little nigga.
I gave you life.

I stole drugs
out of Tommy's warehouse.

He didn't know.

Tommy knew you were
stealing drugs.

I told him I stopped,
and I didn't.

So now you stop.

All this shit is over.

Keep thinking you're
fucking smarter than me.

Don't ever make
that mistake again, son.

I can't believe you're

I worked hard

Don't you ever fucking

It's the least you owe me back.

One more thing
you gotta give me.

What?
I don't got no money.

I got no product.
I got nothing to give you.

Give me your word
you'll never talk
to Tommy again ever.

He owned you.
Now I fucking own you.

If I catch you

I'm gonna let Tommy know

Nah.

how we have no product,

no money, and Ghost
is on our asses?

'Cause that's what
I'm thinking about.

Lakeisha,
we've been over this.

What was I supposed to do?

Ignore the kid's call?

I mean,
Tariq was in real trouble.

You told him
to stop dealing.

It ain't your fault
if he didn't listen.

I never would have
made it to Proctor in time

if it wasn't for 'Riq's help.

And now Ghost knows
that you killed Proctor.

So how long do you
think it's gonna take

before he finds out that you
asked Tariq for his help?

Yeah.

That's why
I want you holding.

It's just a precaution.

Just until I handle Ghost.

Got you a purse
big enough for that.

Just put it in there.

[sighs]

-And then we're done, right?
-Yeah.

Including Tariq, Tommy.

No, 'Keisha, I can't never
turn my back on that kid.

It's not his fault
that he's like this, you know.

I mean, it's Ghost's
fault and Kanan.

They fucked him up.
But that boy is my family.

Family?

So what the fuck
are me and Cash, then?

Of course you and Cash,

Tommy, is this thing loaded?

Tasha, of course
the gun wasn't loaded.

What the fuck do you mean,
"of course"?

I mean, you have no right
to aim a gun at our son.

Well, he admitted
to everything, okay?
He admitted to everything.

He didn't have
any more drugs left,

and I took
the rest of his cash.

You know where
your precious little son

was hiding the rest
of his stash?

In Raina's room.

Damn.

Tasha, he's too far gone
for us to be soft anymore,

so I did what I had
to do to get him back
on the right path.

[Tasha]
Oh-oh, that's what you think?

Pulling a gun on our son is
putting him on the right path?

-Wow.
-Well, he respects me now.

No, he hates you now.

Look, I can't
control that, Tasha.

What I can do is get him

through the rest of high
school and into college.

And I'll be damned
if you or anybody else

tells me how to fucking
do that, all right?

He will learn to love me again,

and then he'll appreciate
everything I've done.

It just won't be today.

[Tasha]
Okay, Ghost, you got it
under control, right?

But that is your son.

So no matter what you do--
you can take his money--

he's gonna find a way
to get it back.

Tasha, you didn't
see him, okay?

I saw his face.
I got through to him.

Told him to stay away
from Tommy, and he will.

And then I'll just find
a school that will take him

after this whole Choate thing,

and he'll have a life
I never had, a real education.

Go to college,
graduate from college.

A legitimate life, Tasha.

It's the end of this drug
shit for this family.

Tariq is on the right track.

Okay, Ghost.

Tariq!

Tariq.

Tariq?

Where the hell
he go now?

Who knows?

-47.
-Yo, how long till Tommy
get more product from Jason?

I don't know.

You all up under Tommy.
I thought he would've told you.

And Jason takes
his fee up front,

so unless Tommy's sitting
on some clean money
we don't know about,

there's no more
fucking product coming in.

I'm sure Tommy's
got a plan, a'ight?

Let's just calm down.

Oh, Lakeisha, I didn't
even know you was here.

Yeah, I got here early
to do inventory,

but I see y'all niggas
beat me to it.

-What the hell happened?
-There's product missing.

I can see that.
How?

How the hell
we 'posed to know?

We the only ones in here.

Who found it?

I did.

Yeah, okay.

I'm gonna call Tommy
real quick.

What's that supposed to mean,
"Yeah, okay"?

Hey, Two, fall back.

It means it's a good cover-up

to discover a robbery
that you did yourself.

And Tommy told me
about that shit with Tariq,

how you didn't want
to help either.

That shit with Tariq
was bullshit,

but I still played my position.

I ain't taking product
behind nobody back.

If I did want to steal some
shit, I'd snatch that chain.

-Hey, Two, chill!
-Well, it's missing, ain't it?

And y'all the only three
that know about this place,

so I think I'll go talk
to Tommy in person instead.

Nobody took nothing.

Yo, get the fuck off me!

The bigger issue is,
somebody else was in here.

You go telling Tommy
it's one of us,

he's gonna do
what he always does,

go off all crazy.

It won't be good for him.

He needs to go off crazy.

What do you mean?
you don't believe him?

He seems pretty credible,
but there's a hole

in his story I haven't
been able to reconcile.

Proctor and his daughter
weren't just visiting
the penthouse that night.

They were houseguests,
and Tariq never mentioned it.

So where's the Proctor kid now?

Uh, with, um,
Joe's cousin Benny.

Wh-either he has Elisa Marie

Tariq is not the same kid

He's different now.

No, you're wrong.

I'll ask him myself.

Tommy, he's gonna lie.

No, he won't.

You have no friends,
no money.

Ma, all right, I get it.
I'll go to school and be good.

No, you won't.

You'll just do
whatever you wanna do,

no matter what.

That's because no one
wants to help me, Ma.

I go to Tommy for help,
he says no.

I go to Ghost, he says no.

Kanan was the only one
that had my back, Ma.

Don't start
with that Kanan shit.

And you.

Look, I know what you did
to keep me out of jail,
and I respect that.

You respect it,
but it ain't gonna change
who you are, right?

Ghost can't accept it,
but I can.

Let me ask you something.

Was the Vincent kidnapping
a hustle?

Were you supposed to get a cut?

Yes.

♪♪

All right, we gonna
make a deal, Tariq.

You never lie to me again,

and in exchange,
you get an education.

Right, I'll go to the school.
I said that already.

Oh, no, I know you're
going to that school,

but that's not what I mean.

You can be better
than Ghost ever was

if you commit to both
the legit life and the streets.

You graduate from high school,
you go to college,

but you ain't never
gonna stop pushing weight,

because that's who you are.

So I don't see any other way.

I can't lose another child.

And I'm not about to let you
get killed, Tariq,

because you don't know
how to do it right.

You don't know the streets,

but I do.

All right.

I won't ever lie to you again.

Good.

Could you teach me
how to move this

so no one else
will get hurt?

All right, Tariq.

I'ma teach you the game.
