[Terry] Fuckin' federales!

[Meech] God damn it, Tee!

This what we get for you letting that fuckin' kid go!

Would you stop blaming me for fuckin' everything?

Loco's boss wants us to meet him in Cali.

Remember, nigga, it's me and you that started this business.

Loco trusts me more than you do, and he got my back, unlike you.

Manuel. Meech and Tee.

Loco has spoken very highly of you.

Now, we always rise to the occasion.

Loco can vouch for us.

Unfortunately, Loco is dead.

You didn't happen to find

my baby shower gift from Terry, did you?

Terry said he gave me cash, and I haven't seen it.

My little Demetrius.

We know that your designer duds and purses

I'm sure you can understand folks' concerns.

[Meech] I really want you to help build

our first state-of-the-art studio.

I won't let you down.

[Bryant] That skinny motherfucker is B-Mickie.

He's a BMF shooter from Detroit.

And him being here ain't no fuckin' coincidence.

[Meech] Hey, Pops just said

that B-Mick came to the house in Atlanta.

A'ight, look.

A little while back, yes, I let B-Mick back in.

Now, tell me why the fuck would you do that shit.

Yeah, because his daughter was sick and he needed money.

Besides, he proved his fucking loyalty

when he capped Lamar and he ain't have to.

Now, B-Mickie, see, me and him,

we had a deal to ambush Meech and Terry,

but your boy ambushed me.

Listen, I'ma ask you one last fuckin' time.

Y'all think B-Mickie and Bryant

are working together right here in Atlanta?

And we need to find out fast, because the new plug in Cali

is holding the work until we get shit on lock out here.

Cali? What the fuck happened with Loco?

It don't matter. We got a new plug.

Now, Tina and Foley got new drivers and stash houses.

We can't move shit till we know it's safe.

Look, I need you to hit B-Mickie up and see where he stands.

-Alright? -Alright.

Since you brought him back into the fold,

it seems like he trust me.

I can set it up how y'all want.

You know what? Call him.

Act like you think he's still in the D, right?

Just tell him to come to Atlanta 'cause shit went sideways

and- and we really need his help.

Then we'll take it from there.

A'ight.

I'll line him up nice and tight.

Let me ask you something.

So you and Tee was tight as a motherfucker

[door opens, closes]

Fuck him.

As soon as I get shit on lock out here,

we goin' our separate ways, for good.

Where we at with the BOLO and APB on Brian Mickie?

[Hardy] Nothing at airports, bus stations, or Amtrak.

Checkpoints out of every major highway out of Atlanta

have been checked, too, so we know he hasn't left the city.

Plus Brian Mickie's daughter was reported missing in Detroit

by the mother, Aisha Mickie.

But Detroit PD can't seem to locate her either.

[Twolips] Shit. You think Meech could be connected to this, too?

I'm not sure, but let's distribute their photos as well.

Maybe they're here with B-Mickie.

Well, if they are, it's not at the Peachtree Motel.

We've had round-the-clock surveillance on that place

since we found the gun.

Plus, his car's still parked in the lot,
