You a slick motherfucker, huh?

Ty was holding us down, but...

with no access to his plug,

we've been scrambling to find work.

I got pure weight coming down here from Detroit right now.

These highways, Tee, they link to every major city

down the Florida coast, up the Eastern seaboard,

and even got a direct line to Texas and Cali.

I'm standing at the doorstep

for the rest of the damn country.

We going national.

You know Peaches?

You really shouldn't be so mean.

Fuck Sina!

You ain't welcome down South.

You can go back up North and shovel snow.

We'll send your ass back in body bags.

I just put a down payment on a big-ass crib.

I wanna move forward with the divorce.

Hey, partner.

Partner?

Yes, ma'am.

Detective Cobie Amberson.

- They're taking me now? - There gon' be other kids there

that gon' be watching you. Don't step back.

Don't even look in they direction.

I'm moving out.

So does this mean I get Terry's room?

No.

Your father will be getting Terry's room.

As kids, we were taught to believe in magic:

Santa's fat ass sliding down the chimney,

tooth fairy dropping nickels.

But eventually, you find out the truth,

that it's all just a bunch of smoke and mirrors

because everyone's pulling small moves

you ain't supposed to see.

That's the magic behind the magic.

But if you can't spot the trick,

that sleight of hand might become the fist

that knocks your ass out.

♪ Oh, yeah, now... ♪

I just can't tell you how much

I use this thing...

Hoo!

That took a lot longer than what I expected, but...

...I'm pretty much moved out of my mom's.

Crystal chandelier, marble coffee table,

Sterling Bros. knife set--

goddamn, I might have to start selling drugs.

- I can't afford all this. - Tee.

OK, I wasn't--um-

Look, I know the recovery process has been a lot.

We need to talk.

You know how much I appreciate you

and everything you've done for me

and the kids and this house.

You really are one of the good ones,

and I love you so much.

I just don't think we can live together right now.

What-what do you mean, we can't live together right now?

We got shot at because of our relationship.

My kids are with my parents,

and they think I got into a car accident.

And now, what, we're supposed to just move in

and act like nothing ever happened?

Yo, I just moved all my shit in here.

I know that, and I'm torn up about it.

So are we-- - But Boom is still my husband.

What do you want, Markisha?

What-what, you-you wanna break up?

No.

I love you more than anything in this world.

We can still be together.

We just can't live together.

Wow, this just sounds like a, you know,

"I pay for your life, but I ain't in it" type shit.

You want a break?

Cool.

You got it.

Tee.

What up, doe? How the move go?

I decided to get my own spot first,

a little bachelor pad.

Shit, ain't nothing wrong with that.

Yo, that shit's crooked.

Man, no, it ain't.

And they saying I can't see straight.

Nigga, what's your excuse? Move.

My pops is gon' come by later.

He gon' fix it.

Highway to Heaven? Hell naw.

That's a family show

'cause this a family business.

To clean dirty money.

Come on. Whatever, nigga.

In national news, the leader of a cocaine

drug-trafficking operation,

Sina Hidalgo, has been arrested in Saint Martin

and extradited back to Detroit after being identified

by a Detroit kingpin who was swept up in a local

drug task force operation.

There goes our fucking plug.

Yo, yo, get- get the last of the work

that we was gonna give to Lansing.

We gotta start whipping that shit so that shit

- can hold us over. - I got you. I got you.

Fuck.

...Sina's alleged crimes

include murder...

Uh, you need something?

Demetri?

It's the wrong house.

- Oye, uh, get Demetri. - Wrong house.

Hey, man.

You understand this, motherfucker?

Vamos.

Come.

What up, doe?

Yo, our travel agent just retired.

Sterl says he might know a guy that knows somebody

that-that-that could help us out.

A'ight, see what you can find in the D,

and I'ma try and find a new agent out here.

Meech, we got a itinerary to hit.

If we can't find someone to help us out,

I'm just gonna start flying fucking budget.

Tee, we can't dilute

- our vacation, nigga. - Terry?

We first class only.

I need to talk to you.

Uh-uh, I'm talking to Meech right now.

Oh, OK.

- Meech? - Hey, Pops.

Oh, no, no. Don't "Hey, Pops" me.

Couple amigos came by the house,

and one of them damn near walked over me to get inside,

looking for you.

What'd you tell them?

I told them they had the wrong house.

- And one of them had a gun. - We'll take care of it.

Listen, next time, I'ma give them your number

so they can stay the hell off of my doorstep.

Boy.

Yo, somebody shows up to our doorstep

the day we lose our travel agent?

It's probably to collect those ends

from our last trip, Tee.

Or they're probably coming to clean the fucking house.

Safety first.

I'ma put security on everyone just in case.

And just send me the other half of the vacation money.

No, send Rol' to come pick up my luggage.

And I'ma have Sterl float the rest.

Float the rest? What the fuck you mean, float the rest?

Man, I set you up with everything up there.

I'm starting from scratch out here, Tee.

You ain't know that?

Tee, do me a favor.

Stop painting your fucking toenails and get cracking

and find a new clean piece for the board.

How about that?

Magic is about making

the impossible possible.

And when you in the game, sometimes you gotta do

whatever it takes to pull a rabbit

out your motherfuckin' hat.

Since your boy Dice got smoked,

we gon' have to find some new clients.

Yeah, you see, I'ma try to connect with some

of Dice's people to see if we can still

tap into his pipeline, from Alabama to Texas.

Only reason we still sitting on this weight

is 'cause of this war bullshit.

Well, you know I can get rid of the rest of the work

with some of the other connections I got.

Right, right, right. That's good.

My plug got popped.

And we need somebody with that pure shit, man.

We can't be playing. Now, I can't lie to y'all.

The only one person I know that got it down here is Glock.

Glock? You know Glock like to play with that fire.

And if y'all gon' have a barbecue,

let me know where it's at, and I'll come with the gas.

If Glock's smart, it wouldn't even come to that.

MK's got no say-so in what a cartel plug does

or who they fuck with.

See, now, since Glock's ass won't take a meeting with me,

an alliance with his plug

might put pressure on him to cool down.

Then we only gotta deal with Remi's Techwood Boyz.

How you getting to Glock's plug, though?

How you planning on getting our son out of this?

And how you just gonna have a gun laying around?

It was in a safe.

Why did he get access to it?

He didn't. Uh...

I think he must have watched me open it one day.

You were supposed to be watching him.

This is your fault. Fix it.

Look, the best lawyers cost money,

and right now, I ain't making shit.

I've applied to security jobs,

but they only pay nine bucks an hour.

Look, I'll do ten jobs if I have to.

But I need your help. Oh, God.

I left him with you so that he will

become a man, not a convict.

If I'd have known it was gon' turn out like this,

I never would have signed off my rights.

Hold on.

You signed him over because you never made time for him,

so you can get the fuck off that high horse

before it bucks you off.

We destroyed this family.

I know.

But we gotta come together for our son.

Here.

That's all I got right now.

I gotta go to work.

Your Kung Pao chicken's already dead.

All you have to do is eat it.

Dead like this investigation into Saint's murder.

None of the neighbors cooperated.

They don't help us because they think we don't help them.

And when they do help us, it's considered snitching,

which comes with its own consequences.

Yeah, but if you want change,

then you have to make hard decisions, like snitching,

in order to make your community better.

You only say that 'cause you grew up in a burb

which was safe to begin with.

Screw you.

You don't know me.

It's too much.

Dad, this is my new partner, Detective Cobie Amberson.

Nice to meet you.

You didn't tell me that you knew Mandarin.

Well, I picked up a little from some of my friends

in boarding school.

Thanks for putting some of your guards out on my people.

You already know, zero-tolerance policy.

I tried to holla at the Chaldeans about some weight,

but they half stepping 'cause of the K-9 fallout.

They not even sure if they can trust us right now.

K-9 got everybody on chill

and One Time all over the city.

So I reached out to a guy who knows a plug outside the city.

The burbs?

Not like our crews got a lot of options right now.

Who's the plug?

Some cat over in Township.

Never met him.

But I hear he's more than meets the eye.

A'ight.

Beliefs are important, but so is action.

The good book tells us in scripture, James 2:17,

that in the same way faith,

if not accompanied by action...

Yes. ...is dead.

Yes. Amen?

- Amen. - Amen.

Now, the Downriver Hospital

needs volunteers

for the prenatal mobile clinic

that will be here this week so that we--

church, I said so that we--

Mm, mm. So that we.

Uh-huh, can help the mothers

that are in need in our community.

- Yes. - Sign-up sheet's at the door.

A'ight.

To God be the glory.

To God be the glory. - Amen.

Amen. - I appreciate you.

Ooh, good words and good works.

I mean, I appreciate that she wants us

to practice what we preach.

I'ma sign us up.

Hold on. Hold on. Not me. I have to go to work.

OK, Well, Nicole and I can do it together

'cause she needs to see these young women

helping in the community instead of...

gallivanting around.

She's at that age, Charles.

- Yeah, don't remind me. - Yeah.

So it's bad enough you be staring at me in class.

Now church too?

A'ight, I ain't gon' do it no more if you don't want me to.

Nah.

Nah, I like it.

What, your mama make you volunteer too?

Yeah, she probably gon' try to scare me

into not getting pregnant or something.

Nicole, we're leaving.

Bye. Bye.

Sooner or later, your luck's gonna bottom out, girl.

You know all about bottoming,

seeing how I was just all up in yours.

Now you squealing like a little punk bitch.

Hey, watch your mouth, girl,

Mm, you're right. You're right.

Yeah, OK, back the fuck up, Chester.

Well played.

- I'm Tee. - I know.

Heard a lot about BMF.

I like how you guys move...

...like snakes.

Come on, over here.

I guess that's why we probably never met.

Mm-hmm. Yeah?

Which brings us to our meeting.

I need some weight, untouched,

something that hasn't been played with.

Oh, come on, now.

Don't ask to look up my dress. Just take me home.

Not if she's ugly.

Shit, sleeping with ugly's better than sleeping alone.

All right, cut the shit. How much for tonight?

Seeing that weight under pressure in y'all area,

I could go for about $28 a key.

What the fuck?

Yo. A'ight, a'ight, a'ight.

I'll through in a pound of weed for every key.

Top-shelf champagne never just comes with free orange juice.

We don't wanna fucking lose you either.

So why you keep doing all this crazy shit

- to push us away, huh? - I been fucking up.

I been fucking up,

and that's on me.

I been real disrespectful, and I know that.

But just please don't give up on me.

Terry, don't put that shit on me.

Hey, hey, look.

I'm not trying to put this on you.

That's on me, everything.

Can you just have a seat, please?

I know I got us here

and for better and for worse.

But I just want...

my A-one day one by my side.

All right, Terry. So what this mean?

I get free food at the restaurant?

I mean, I-I am eating for two, so...

Shit, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you get two of everything.

I mean, Hoop might not be too happy about that, but...

Listen, I'ma be staying here

for the next couple days

just so you can feel safe.

I'm about to go to my folks' house

and grab a couple clothes.

That's cool?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's cool. But let's be clear.

- We not back together. - No, yeah.

- This--at all. - Oh, yeah.

At all.

Uh-uh, Terry, don't start that.

Uh-uh, I know where these little nasty-ass lips been.

You know you ain't even have to go there, right?

You know I know too.

Why you look so surprised?

This is nice. - Have a seat.

So why you ask me here?

I'm trying to get some info.

I need a name.

And I know you know it.

You need a name?

Nigga, I am not the Yellow Pages.

I know you not.

But listen, I promise you it will be worth your while.

Look, my livelihood is based on discretion.

And my life is based on always being

smart enough to know that.

So I can't help you.

And I can't go back to Greeny with no money.

Wait, tell me something.

What kind of boyfriend...

...got their girl out trying to get dough up for him?

The kind of boyfriend whose business

is having me hustle niggas.

Yeah, Greeny that kind of boyfriend.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Wait.

So you gon' get out of here without even eating first?

Now, you know your skinny ass

need some meat on them motherfucking bones, girl.

Why would you wanna spend money for nothing?

Company as beautiful as you are,

it ain't ever for nothing.

See, Angel, you're more valuable than you think.

But you have to know your worth.

You deserve better.

Divorce papers and all.

she really ain't playing, huh?

She sure ain't.

I mean, I hope she don't actually

go through with it.

Hmm. Oh, snap.

Remember how happy you were when I won this?

Earned.

When you earned it.

Hey, Pops...

...I swear the only reason

why I ever joined the game

was to help our family out.

And even though you judge me for it...

...I'll never judge you for the choices you've made.

I want you to remember something, son.

Your choices...

impact the people you love

and those who love you.

No matter how much success or money one gains,

it will never equal the love you get from family.

See, I would never admit it to his face.

But the truth is,

my pops taught me a lot about hard work.

But I wanted to be my own boss.

So I had to work harder than ever.

What about you? Close to any of your family?

Nah.

After my parents died,

I was in and out of raggedy-ass foster homes.

Damn, so did my mom.

It was tough.

But she strong now because of it.

Yeah, it'll make you strong.

But I couldn't take it anymore.

I ran away, got off the bus downtown,

didn't know which way to go.

Then Greeny took me in.

He saved my life.

He's been the only safe place I known since.

Sometimes safe is another shade of bad.

Sooner or later,

you gotta stop putting money into Greeny's pockets

and bet on yourself.

You know, I met a lot of guys.

And I mean a lot.

But you, you different.

So that anonymous tip we got about the car

leaving Saint's house the night he got murdered?

I ran the plates, and guess what came back.

Meet Curtis Jefferson, aka Kutz.

He's a known member of the PA Boys from the West Side.

So what was he doing on the East?

Why haven't they been on our radar?

Because the PA Boys operate outside

of DRANO's jurisdiction,

which means we are free to roam.

You got an address?

Hell yeah.

Let's go.

OK, here you go, dear.

You let me know if you need something else now, OK?

Nicole, since when did you start using these?

Mama, it's fine.

All of my friends use these. It's not a big deal.

I don't think so.

You start using these, and next thing you know,

you gon' have something else up in there.

Excuse me.

Lucille?

- I thought it was you. - Maurice?

Wh-what are you doing here?

I'm the liaison for this event.

Girl, look at you, still fine.

Haven't aged a day.

My goodness.

Nicole, this is, um--

this is my friend Dr. Montclair.

Uh, we went to high school together.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Lucille, I would love to catch up some more,

but I got--I got patients to see.

Yeah.

Please don't leave without saying goodbye first.

As I live and breathe.

Both which err on the side of surprising.

If you here, things must be bad.

Yeah, I could use a favor.

Favors done got many a folk dead.

You still in the game?

People like me don't get out.

We just... change how we move.

What can I do you for?

I need good lawyers for my son.

I can't afford them.

My apologies about your son.

I heard about him.

Children have a way of being

what we expect...

and what we don't.

Look, I need fast money.

You got connections.

Even a dying tree still got roots.

Hey.

Hi.

My goodness, look at you.

You know, I knew you would become a doctor.

You always did believe in me.

- Yeah. - Just one of the many reasons

I wanted to marry you.

How have you been, Lucille?

You know, I'm just juggling, um,

marriage and kids

and, you know, work and...

...just taking it one day at a time.

Mm. Charles is a very lucky man.

I will never forgive him for stealing you away from me.

Let me take you to lunch.

We can catch up without all these interruptions.

Well, you know, I--

yeah, I would love to, but I-I just--

Oh, come on, now, girl, you were my prom date.

Two old friends catching up.

You never found anybody.

I found plenty.

They just weren't you.

Call me.

What you think?

A desperate man can be a dangerous man.

Both can have uses.

Old man.

I searched my mind trying to figure out

why my stubborn-ass father would call me in for.

I hear you've been trying to expand.

Was gonna tell you eventually.

Whatever you do reflects on me.

Good relationships are hard to come by.

Look before you leap.

And here I thought you were finally asking me

to take over for you.

You have always had guts.

I'll give you that.

But Detroit isn't short on courage.

What we need... is self-control.

I agreed to let you venture out with your own crew.

But you make no mistake.

You still carry my brand.

Respect it.

I'm sending you someone.

Put him to work in your organization.

I-I decide who works for me.

Let me know how he does.

You sure this is where Glock's plug said to meet?

Yeah, Santiago said to meet him here.

What the fuck is this shit?

Fucking MKs.

Somebody probably calling Beetlejuice for a check-in.

We better go.

Why would MKs be here?

Demetri.

Are you Santiago?

No, no, estoy Loco. Loco?

Yo, Duff, you ever seen this motherfucker before, man?

Man, not even once.

I'm supposed to be meeting Santiago, man.

No, no, no, Santiago es falso.

The meeting, eh, bullshit.

We go. We go where?

I don't even know you.

Ty Washington, mi amigo.

I was Ty's plug.

Santiago no existe.

- Bang, bang, we go. - Hold on, man.

This shit don't feel right.

- Mí genté. - Those your guys out there?

Claro, doy.

Looks like fucking Colombians against the MKs, man!

Santiago was never gon' show.

MKs were just gon' ambush our ass.

Damn!

Miami hit squad done.

Sina no-no snitch on you.

No. Sina--we loyal.

See, Sina says that, uh, Demetri, eh...

muy rápido.

Yeah, I'm fast. I'm very fast.

Rápido, bueno.

So you came looking for me to be my plug

so you could do business with me.

Sina says you're my guy.

Dale.

Fuck yeah, man! Fuck yeah!

Javier, Demitri.

Qué vuelta, asere?

I, uh--I translator.

How you find us, man?

Tu hermano Terry.

He say Atlanta, Ty's crew, and-and we find persona.

Mm.

Este... how much, uh, to start?

Two fifty?

Doscientos cincuenta.

Yo, doscientos cincuenta.

Mm! Fantástico!

Fantástico!

Dale. Yes.

Ahora, sí. Hell yeah.

Ain't that a bitch?

Twenty-eight a key for mediocre shit?

That bitch is fucking crazy.

Come to find out her old man a OG gangster

who used to be a cop.

I mean, his operation strong.

He's connected to the city council

and five-oh on the East Side still,

so no one fucks with him.

What up, doe? Man, why the fuck

you ain't answering the damn phone, man?

Don't be calling me like I'm one of your hos.

Whatever, a'ight?

Listen, our new tourist friend found me.

He lives in the D sometimes.

But he wants to be our new tour guide as well.

He heard we travel fast.

No, your tourist friend.

And I thought that motherfucker was a threat.

Tee, fuck that mines and yours bullshit

and just listen, a'ight?

Our tour guide approached us.

Now we don't have to go to them anymore

when we wanna travel.

That's big, nigga.

Yeah-yeah, that-that's dope, Meech, damn.

That's what the fuck I'm saying.

Now, I matched up them girls with dates,

and they had a good-ass time.

I'ma settle up with Sterl.

But your ass need to quit bugging,

which I know you been doing.

I'm taking my crew out to go celebrate tonight.

I don't know about you, nigga.

For the first time,

I-I'ma actually follow your instructions.

Don't forget we blood.

Oh, and another thing I forgot to tell you.

I'm always right, nigga.

Fuck you, Meech.

Fuck you too, Tee.

So did Meech come through?

Actually, yeah.

Oh!

Man.

Hey, hey, and he wouldn't have been able to do it

without you protecting the home front.

It's on both of y'all.

Hey, yo, Sterl, man,

I appreciate you rocking with us like this.

I know y'all would do the same.

Yes, sir.

What you gonna do about our girl, though?

Hey, what up, Big Money?

Hoo-hoo! Yo, Big Tee.

Wow, look, I-I appreciate y'all making me that offer.

But I ain't gonna cop weight from y'all.

Hold up.

Y'all had a fucking deal.

I mean, a-a-a deal ain't a deal until it's done.

I mean, y'all-y'all should know that, right?

What I know is that the landscape of the game

is changing.

Yeah, you-you got that right.

And the streets about to be flooded with BMF weight.

So remember, don't wait too long,

'cause all your clients are gonna be asking for me.

Baby, we need to talk.

OK.

You know, you are a beautiful young lady.

And you're getting to that age where...

boys and girls wanna be a little--

Wait, wait, wait, are we about to have...

the talk?

Look, I saw how that little boy was looking at you in church.

He was just looking, Mama.

And just 'cause I'm using tampons now

doesn't mean I'ma have sex with him.

Even when you have the best intentions, I mean,

sometimes when you're young and-and in love,

you might find yourself in a-a situation where you're, like,

compromising your morals and you just--

Are you talking about situations like

with your old friend Dr. Maurice?

All I'm saying is,

Dr. Maurice was looking at you

the same way Breeze was looking at me.

Good night, Nicole.

Hey, don't you think it's strange

Hey, yo, I'm telling you, Meech,

I think Angel's ass set us up with the MKs.

Shit, you can't say yes. You can't say no.

Meech?

Tina, what the hell you doing here?

Me? What you doing here?

Come on.

See, Atlanta my new hometown. I moved out here.

- No, you didn't. - I see your underage ass

still getting past security, huh?

Look, Monique got me this fake ID in the first place.

How's Zoe and Tee Tee?

They good. They good.

You know, I got Mo's mom watching over them,

making sure they straight.

You know I got them for life, though.

Damn, I miss Mo like crazy.

I don't have any brothers and sisters.

And, you know, we were cousins,

but she's more like a big sis to me.

Did you know her being a paralegal

inspired me to study prelaw?

That's good.

I just wanna let you know I'm proud of you, for real.

And you can call me whenever you want.

I always got you, a'ight, sis?

Come on. Thanks, bro.

Brother Meech, Brother Meech, for you and the crew,

drinks on the house.

Oh, yeah? What's the occasion?

Well, I mean, you was quite the, uh,

knight in shining armor to Angel.

You know, these ladies don't see a whole lot

- in the way of chivalry. - Mm.

Yeah, a little harder to sell a bruised peach,

so this just my way of saying I appreciate you

being nice to the merchandise.

That's all, pimp.

Yeah, I think she's very special.

And you should treat her like it.

Oh, I couldn't agree more, Detroit.

I couldn't agree more.

Y'all enjoy yourselves.

Slick motherfucker.

OK, y'all know I came prepared.

- Mm, mm, mm. - Of course.

- OK, that-that's enough. - OK.

You know, Tee, I am so proud of you.

You out here making boss moves.

What?

Aw, you look at lover boy over here.

Shut up, Clarence.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be yelling

my government name out like that.

You lucky that's the only thing I called you.

- What up doe? - Hey, man, where my plate at?

Boy, you better get in where you fit in.

We about to bounce to the gambling spot,

so you better hurry up.

Hey, let me get a plate.

What is wrong with this picture?

Just looks like a guy having dinner

with his family and friends.

You know, Terry could have ordered that hit on Saint

with the help of the PA Boys.

Yeah, well, it's one thing to think he's guilty,

and it's another to prove it.

Did you ever hear that quote, uh,

"The devil's finest trick

is to persuade you he doesn't exist?"

Charles Baudelaire.

Ah, Loco.

Mm.

Bad night to be a bottle, Loco.

I'll tell you that, man.

Meechie!

Hey, man, listen, I get the floor.

You get the couch, man.

What? No, no, no.

No, oy, mira, I left--

Man, you sailed your ass all the way over here

- on a raft, Loco? - Sí, sí.

No, you didn't, man.

How the hell you do that?

Desesperación.

En Cuba no hay futuro.

Desperate?

Man, that remind me of me and my little brother, man.

We used to go to school with holes in our shoes.

And we had to use cardboard

to-to-to-to block the shoes,

- to cover it. - Ah, yah, yah, yah, yah.

Man, we-we were so poor, man.

No money, man.

No-no dinero.

Nosotros no teníamos dinero tampoco.

Family, man.
