I ain't interested in getting in the middle

of whatever the fuck going on between you and your pops.

He's always had my back.

Would hate to have to pull your kids' protection.

Who did this to you?

I promise that I'll get you out of here.

I need your help. I ain't got nobody else to turn to.

OK, who the fuck is Henry?

This is about Kevin.

Oh, shit.

We need an ambulance right away.

We've got an officer down.

Love you too.

My feelings never went away for you, Lucille.

Hey, Dizz. Yo, hold on, hold on, man.

I need to know Henri's every fucking move.

And you're in the position to get 'em.

Hey, Mike.

This the last time you disrespect me, motherfucker.

Ashes to ashes, nigga.

I did what you asked.

And you were right about Stacks.

He's playing us.

The OGs are saying the MKs did the drive-by

that killed Diesel, not Remi.

So what's the next move?

Came to wave the white flag?

The MKs setting up our crews to ambush us tonight.

Man, fuck these niggas.

Go!

- Hey, Remi! - Milton.

Let's get these motherfuckers, man!

Man, get the fuck out of here!

This is all your fault!

Get away from my son.

Look at what you've done.

You know, God can do anything.

But how could he do this?

This wasn't what I wanted for you, little Milton.

You was supposed to live.

The fact that life ends

is what makes it precious.

Otherwise, we take it for granted.

Their bodies are gone, but I still feel them here.

They're still with us.

I ain't late, am I?

Man, you right on time.

Detroit.

All day.

When Rip's folks went to be with the ancestors

on Devil's Night,

he came to the A looking for a home.

Now, we might've held him down, but Rip held us together.

He was a soldier, our brother.

For that, we ain't never gonna forget him.

See you in the next one, Rip.

You a real one, G.

Yeah, I know everybody going through it right now.

But I want you all to come to my crib later on

for a repast and a movie.

You cooking something other than crack?

Fuck you, nigga.

I stopped by the Techwood kid's funeral.

Why the fuck you do that?

You ever read the Thor comics?

Juiced-up cracker with a sledge?

Dude don't even wanna be king.

But his brother Loki always gunning for the throne.

Hmm, number twos always wanna be number ones.

I seen sibling rivalry my whole life.

So you give them a nugget of power

'cause you don't care if they kings.

You elevating to be a god.

I bet Claude going through his terrible twos

right now as we speak.

So you went to plant that seed with Claude.

A'ight.

Look, we get Claude to get Remi on board

and take him out from the inside.

Then we make an alliance with the Techwood boys

and take out the MKs.

All I'm doing is waiting for those

motherfucking seeds to sprout.

Easy.

Yo, everybody's on edge now, popping off.

I can't see nobody keep rocking with us

if this how shit ends.

Man, what else they got, Tee?

Two shifts a day on an assembly line?

Man, that is not no living.

That is a life sentence.

A'ight, you can't pull yourself up by the bootstraps

if you got no boots.

So that's your bright idea to keep the troops happy?

There's nothing better out there, so follow me?

Could be a soldier for the man or a soldier in the streets.

You just paying the cost of being a general.

You mean paying Charon.

Look, Tee, we all a family, a'ight?

We can't take shit with us.

So share the wealth.

And if we taken, man, we go out as icons

in a blaze of glory.

That's how you manage morale.

That's how you lead.

Hey, yo, let-let me holla at you later, a'ight?

Hey.

Hey, little man.

I was so much younger when you was born.

Ooh, shit.

- Hey, you OK? - Ooh.

Yeah, I'm having these damn contractions.

Dr. Greenhouse says I'll be fine.

Shit.

You OK?

Hey, you all right?

Oh, um,

it's just my-my fifth funeral in as many days.

And honestly, it's just a disgrace.

Here I am trying to lead

and-and protect all these people.

That's why I need to dead shit with Henri

once and for all...

...before my kids not even remember me.

Excuse me. Mr. Flenory?

Excuse--Mr. Flenory.

Not now, Ms. Watson. I'm having a rough day.

Well, I am so sorry to hear that,

but we're still waiting on your paperwork,

uh, listing your occupation.

And, uh, i-i-is that your car?

Kind of expensive for a young man like yourself, hmm?

- I won the lottery. - Uh-huh.

Well, then you won't have any problem paying a gardener

or buying a lawn mower,

because the HOA has a strict lawn blade height requirement,

and it-it--ugh.

Mm, so do you have a height requirement for all those men

coming in and out your house to dick you down

while your husband gone?

Homeowner associations began popping up

in the mid- to late 20th century

and mainly served to separate the whites

from the Blacks with anti-Black racism

embedded in their policies.

Detroit's James T. McMillan erected the concrete

"Birwood," "Eight Mile," "Wailing" Wall

to segregate white homes from Black ones

so the Federal Housing Administration

would grant his loan for an all-white subdivision.

In 1935, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation

sent agents across the nation to grade homes.

Though Black homeowners were just as likely

to pay their mortgages,

Black neighborhoods were redlined,

preventing generations of Black people

from homeownership and increasing the wealth gap.

I got the DEA, FBI, APD,

and now an HOA to worry about.

Cut your lawn.

Wash your sheets.

Damn, you smell good, woman.

Y'all getting back together?

Mm.

No, baby, your daddy's just saying good morning.

This isn't gonna end well.

Hello.

Uh, wrong number.

Have a good day, baby. You too, Mama.

- See you later, Daddy. - All right, baby.

Hey, uh,

I thought things were going well with us,

especially in the bedroom.

Mm-hmm.

You know, Pastor Flemming asked me to...

be her assistant pastor.

But I feel like a hypocrite because

we're not exactly the model family.

Yeah, well...

shame is a powerful thing.

Trust me.

But don't let it dim your light.

I'm putting this family back together,

starting with the two of us.

And as for the doctor...

...there's a reason you chose me

over him all those years ago.

The best man won.

God, help me.

Henri.

Yo, I ain't come here to start no static.

I came here to settle our beef amicably.

There's too many people dying in these streets,

so let's just dead this here.

Would any of you go somewhere, outnumbered,

start making demands?

I'm not demanding nothing.

I'm offering you something.

Why would I bargain

with a Jackson-5-reject-looking reneger?

Shit, once a "neger," always a--

All right, come on. Be reasonable.

Be reasonable.

You're running around claiming you're the king of Detroit.

But you're the court jester,

overcompensating for that lowercase D

I peeped in el baño.

Don't worry, though.

I ain't wanna be king.

I'ma be the dragon instead.

♪ This the family Business... ♪

Look.

I came here to talk to you as--

♪ Respect the rules To this game ♪

Man-to-man.

Understand me when I say we can't be allies, associates,

damn sure not friends.

Ain't no world in which we paisanos.

Only reason I ain't wiped your ass out already

is because I'ma have fun taking it slow--

me breaking BMF,

the ultimate prize.

Yo, you going to the mattresses?

I'ma die here if I got to.

Yo, that was a powerful eulogy

you gave earlier, bro,

especially about taking back what's ours.

Oh, I get it.

This nigga Meech show up acting like the ringmaster,

now you wanna buy tickets to the show.

Bro, he came to us like a man, no hitters and no backup.

No, more like a snake in the grass,

offering you a bite of the apple.

Remember when the MKs moved in? Never again.

Man, some of ours went to Glock already, bro.

The MKs got guns and weight. We got numbers.

We team up with BMF, we invincible.

But you won't, so what the hell's gonna happen

when they just cross the street

and take up with Clark Howell, huh?

We need to get our city back or get better weight

right now, nigga.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

No, fuck that, man. We need to make the smart play

and cop that pure shit for Meech and charge more.

Even if we step on it, that's still enough green

for artillery and foot soldiers, nigga.

Then he'd have us hooked for life,

same as them fiends we sell to.

Plus, he still got some deaths

and a follow-you-home to avenge.

So is a bullet to the head the play you into?

OK, so what's your plan, then, mutually assured destruction?

No, we regroup, merge Atlanta crews,

know what I'm saying?

The crews will fall in line 'cause I tell them to.

Now, if you got a better idea,

you better speak now or forever hold your goddamn peace.

And you better not say no alliance.

OK, then lead, motherfucker.

Lead.

Hey, um, I'm really sorry about Kevin.

He was a great kid.

Look, if you wanna help,

let's get real and talk payback.

Is that where your head's at right now?

Don't worry.

There's gonna be payback

on that guy that you were working for.

Yeah, well, you barking up the wrong privates.

- What? - That he is a she.

I'm not gonna waste anyone's time.

Bottom line, how does a quiet night at home

end with one officer dead

and two others looking like cats who ate the canary?

Look, I already told you.

Showed up at Jin's place. Shots rang out.

I didn't see who it was.

Me neither, sir.

Detective Bryant,

you continue to be a blight on this department.

Given your repeated lies

and your unwillingness to cooperate,

I must inform you that your suspension's over

because you're officially terminated.

Cool.

What about you?

Whose side are you on?

Detective Amberson and I were following up on a case

after that ambulance pursuit.

And in the course of our investigation,

we discovered that BMF is beefed up

with another drug organization

that Bryant is moonlighting with,

led by a-a Henry guy--

woman named Henry.

Thank you for that, finally.

But you're suspended until further notice.

Wait. What?

City and I have a funeral to plan.

You dug your own grave, Detective.

Gun and badge.

What the fuck, Tee?

Shit.

Oh, there's-there's a lot on my mind right now.

Shit, there's a lot on my mind, too,

like how you went to Atlanta and didn't even tell me.

Oh, that was just--

that was--that was quick business.

You being secretive.

And ever since you been back,

your mind been all over the place.

You not even focused.

Yo, my head's just fucked up right now.

Then talk to me, baby.

For one, Henrietta,

she's in the business of trying to destroy mine.

I told her I don't want any more blood spilled,

and she just tried to Kunta Kinte my toe.

That lesbo is a second-generation dealer.

She got crazy daddy issues.

Who's her father?

Frank Andreas.

Streets call him Blaze.

He's a cop-turned-drug kingpin

who has serious political connections.

Oh, that's who K-9 and Pat used to talk about.

They just never mentioned who.

So just go over Henrietta's head.

She might think she's in control,

but Blaze got her in a stranglehold.

At least that's what Boom told me.

OK.

Now, get your mind right,

'cause we're the number one priority right now.

I mean, we gotta live for those who ain't here, right?

You always know the right thing to say.

Where Laz at?

I think the Red Dogs got him.

You know, they been on a rampage since Techwood.

Goddamn, man. Yeah, man.

Shit. Well, let's eat.

What, no grace?

Man, fuck that. Eat.

And while we're fucking things,

fuck Stacks, fuck Glock,

and fuck whoever else try to get in our way.

Amen. Amen.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I know it's been hard.

But I appreciate y'all, each and every one of you.

You welcome, nigga.

Yeah, but no, real shit.

We lost a lot of leaders.

But now it's time to rise to the occasion.

Now, Tina, between the club and the store,

we need more clients.

Duffy, whoever Tina brings in,

I need them vetted and tested before they can get down.

Got you. All right.

Now, let's finish this shit so we can go hit the club

and celebrate every day we got left on this Earth.

- Yeah. - I'm tired of sitting here.

I might not understand my daughter.

But I sure as hell won't let you spray one in her chest.

My kid's dead because of her.

Stand down, Bryant,

unless you wanna join him.

Light him up, Dad.

I'm in the mood for roast pig.

We're gonna teach this motherfucker a lesson.

I'll see what I can do.

Man, pick up. Pick up.

Pick up, man. Pick up.

Pick up. Pick up.

Oh, my God.

- What's wrong? - This shit not making no sense.

I don't get why the fuck Duffy and Lazuli

You know, Greeny's been MIA too.

There's a couple ADAs that come to the club.

I could maybe ear hustle for you if you want.

You know what?

Do that.

Do that. Matter of fact, here.

This shit just feel off.

No.

But look at my heir.

Yeah, look at me.

This is me.

before you end up losing another cousin

in this war that you started,

or our arrangement

may be coming to an end.

Stay out of my business, and we good.

You wanna know why I didn't tell Tee yes?

It was out of courtesy to you.

Yet you can never extend the same to me.

Respect...

is earned.

Take the deal.

Tee's playing with fire.

I mean, what's the point?

You must decide if getting what you want

is worth that walk through fire.

Man, how the fuck could they do that shit?

Man, them Red Dogs don't give a fuck.

They keep you long as they want,

do whatever the fuck they want.

And nobody cares, nigga. Nobody gonna stop them.

Meech.

It's nothing but bodies since we got to this city, man.

What happened?

Greeny got arrested

and implicated you for shooting Big Mike.

What?

What the fuck?

Yeah, and they just impaneled a secret grand jury.

And GBI's looking for you.

Man, where the fuck you been?

Bro, you ain't gonna like it.

They tryin' to get me to testify against you

on some bullshit murder.

They coming hard, man.

You gotta go dark.

All right, there's heat all over the city,

so we gotta prepare

for how the DA, the Red Dogs,

the GBI, or anything else gonna come after us.

Dilla got me leads on Ty's old lawyers.

All right, so we'll put 'em on retainer.

That means if you get harassed by police,

stopped by the DA, or anything, you call them,

and they gonna tell you what to do and what not to say.

What you gonna do?

Shit, me, I'ma keep on keeping on

but from the Lou from now on.

The Lou? Yeah.

My boy J-Pusha's already out there

with infrastructure ready to go.

Now, this don't mean that I'm abandoning y'all, a'ight?

I'ma still have operations in motion

and keep everything going and send y'all money.

But don't think that mean y'all can slack

or you don't owe what you owe,

'cause you still owe that shit.

And Meech gonna be back when the heat dies down, a'ight,

but until then, keep y'all heads up.

And we gonna keep this shit rolling.

I wanna go with you.

Angel, I'm not bringing nobody with me.

But you promised you'd never leave me.

You know I don't have no one.

Look, Angel, I know you strong.

You been through a lot.

I know you'll be fine.

Right.

You can't get mad if I move on by the time you get back.

In fact, I hear Glock pays well.

What?

You gonna say that after all the shit

that Glock's doing?

You ain't never been loyal.

You out my circle of trust.

Might as well find you a new crib to stay in.

That shit that you mentioned the other day about Henri's dad

was actually smart as fuck.

You know, Boom would never admit it,

but he got as far as he did listening to me.

I'm more than just a trophy wife, Tee.

I was thinking...

we should plan a nice romantic vacation,

just us,

get away from everything and everyone.

I mean, that sounds good.

Sounds real good.

But LaWanda's about to pop any minute now,

so when that's over, we can for sure plan something.
