Time for you to go.

I'm serious.

I got shit to do.

Shit is irrelevant.

It's none of your concern.

Yeah. No, I'm gonna take care of it.

You know where to meet me at, though.

Same spot.

Yeah.

All right, I'm hollering.

My brother, good morning.

Yeah, it's morning.

Can't say that it's good, though. What's up?

Ready to go get this money or what? You already know.

Every day of the week, my G, and twice on Sundays. What's good?

Gotta go holler at a cop.

Okay, a cop?

That's what his badge says.

What a way to start my day, bro. Why you do this?

Wait till you see what's for brunch.

Do we have a deal then?

In a truck, about a mile up the road.

And I got as much as I could get, mate.

It's what you wanted, right?

Barely keep my hands on it.

You always seem to manage, huh, Jack?

That's why they call me Happy Jack.

Keep people happy.

Funny. What is this?

Thought we were doing business here.

Right. I never did trust your ass, Jack.

Look around you, mate. This is a drug deal. And last time I checked, I am a

dealer. So trust really isn't on the table now, is it?

Happy Jack.

Shut the... Oh, shit!

Don't move.

Jack, what are you doing? Think about that. What's up, boy?

What is it now? What was that?

They saw right through you, Jack.

Bloody hell, man. I don't know how to be an informant. I was just doing as I was

told. Well, you don't have a choice.

You're supposed to be getting me closer to the guy, bud.

Look, mate, I want those two.

It's hard enough to infiltrate an organization like that without selling

some bells and whistles.

Those were hiring clients, and they wanted a better deal, and I offered

But I actually need the product to pull this off. That bogus truck idea almost

got me killed.

You lose your advantage if you bring the dope in. You're the only one here,

dumbass. Look at my face, Key!

I used to be pretty.

But since I got involved with you, I've been kicked, punched, stabbed, and shot

at. Hanging with you is going to get me killed.

Or you could take your ass to jail.

Your tour.

Could at least get some medical benefits then, hmm? You can go home before I put

my foot up your ass. That's not really a deal now, is it?

No.

You need to work on your relationship skills, mate.

We are partners.

Wait.

Oh.

That's a little wet. Yeah.

Appreciate you having my back out there, please.

No doubt.

When you call the cleanup crew, they're gonna be down.

That was good?

Yeah. Look, I'll take care of all this when I think you hit the ball. You got

take care of this for me, baby.

I owe you one.

Tom, you owe me one of them.

Nothing got lifted.

All right, all right.

Well, if it isn't my favorite, whoa, whoa, who the hell is this guy? Now,

who is this guy?

He's with me. Don't worry about it.

You know, I don't like dealing with people I don't know.

They make me nervous.

I said he's with me.

So relax.

I don't like his face.

I don't like his... What you want, his phone number? His zodiac sign?

The fuck does it matter anyway?

Huh?

You're doing business with me.

I'll text you the codes in a bit.

So what happened?

Well... Some of your guys...

Tried to do a deal with a different distributor.

Pushing something called God's Eye. I don't know what it was.

What was it?

I think it was them Collin boys.

But I couldn't get too close because DEA is all over it.

DEA? DEA, yeah. How about that?

This thing is going all the way upstate.

I don't know what they got or what they pushing. But the DEA told me to back off

entirely. I can't get nowhere close.

I need you to find out what they know.

I'll see what I can do.

You got two days.

Two days?

You do realize I'm a cop, right?

Only on paper, Sanchez.

Only on paper.

Still don't like him.

I still don't like him.

But someone down at the FBI has picked this up on his radar and is trying to

make a name for himself.

If it's any consolation, though, they've requested that you be on the Joint Task

Force. Task Force?

Yes.

Right on time, Agent Carson.

Joe, what you doing over here, man?

I'm the sucker that Lieutenant Carson spoke of, trying to make himself in the

Bureau.

FBI, huh?

Look at you, with your fancy suit on, snazzy shoes.

Well, somebody's got to get a hold of themselves.

I see you two know one another.

Yeah, we did two tours together.

Rangers. That's right.

This guy saved my tail more times than I can count.

Okay, what's the plan, Agent Carson?

Well, I put together a task force to go after Saul Nafir, a .k .a. the Son of

God.

Agent Key has already been fully briefed. He knows all about Mr. Nafir.

what's this got to do with me?

Well, I read your intel.

It's good, but you still haven't even scratched the surface.

What's left for you to read?

We'll talk as soon as we're fully up to speed.

Now, I've got some particulars I need to go over with Lieutenant Bowers.

But it's good to see you, brother.

Good to see you, too.

Lieutenant.

Agent.

Now, about this task force.

Yeah.

We're gonna have to talk about that.

You know the best thing about reading these murder mysteries?

What's that?

Finding out who the killer is early on, and then reading all the way through to

the big payoff.

Right.

I'd like to say it's one of life's small victories.

Anyway, how's everything going?

Oh, man.

I got three bags I dropped off at the other shop.

I got this one right here I'm about to take in the back for old girl to count

up. All right, good.

You have any issues?

None.

Although, they are still asking for it in the streets.

We are not messing with Saul and his little so -called couple.

They can keep that shit right over there.

Gotcha.

Just thought you should know.

I mean, we doing good over here.

It's going to be kind of hard to compete with that 100 % pure.

I mean, I ain't saying we got to mess with Saul and Quan now, but we got to

an eye on how they moving.

Might be a problem with it later on.

Nah.

Look what we going to do.

We're going to keep on doing what we're doing.

Roger that.

Anyway, how's things at the club?

Got the new girls on deck.

Security is tight.

We're ready to go.

This club is going to bring us a whole new high -end clientele. Mark my words.

All right.

I'm about to grab this bag, man, and take it on back to the back. Tell the

to count it up.

You're right. Hold on.

Go get, um, Esco or somebody.

I need a drink.

All right.

Yeah. They say the early eagle gets the snake.

Shoot like Henny for breakfast, huh?

Hell yeah.

Just keeps me calm, man.

Something like tequila no damn, buddy.

Yeah, well, keep drinking.

You know, Sun Tzu says the greatest victory is that which requires no

So hopefully we ain't got to do none of that today, but we might get our hands

on a little devil.

That's what I'm here for.

And that's why you're my dog.

You want to take this ride? Let's get it. Let's go.

Good day.

I am exhausted.

District Attorney Charles.

Welcome home.

Oh, you're not eating.

What is it?

I've been assigned to a federal task force.

That's good right?

What is he not telling me?

It's gonna require me to go away for a little bit.

Okay, I'll do that.

Hey, I knew what came with it when I was with you.

And I can accept that.

But... Can I at least know what it's about?

It's better if you don't know, babe.

And the wedding?

The wedding.

I'm going to need a little bit of time to work things out.

Time.

Yeah. Okay.

It's not like I'm getting any younger, right?

You need to slow down.

No, Luke.

So tell me to slow down, all right?

I'm just trying to process everything.

And it's a lot.

Look, I know what's out there.

And I know what you have to do.

But the only thing I care about right now is I need you to get back home as

as possible so we can get away from all this.

And I have some babies No,

I'm serious, I'm not playing

You

will be waiting all right since I got so much time

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

This feels like... What's the name of that word?

Deja vu.

I feel like I gotta keep repeating myself to you over and over and over

Tommy.

I fucking hate that shit.

Haven't we done enough for you and your dumbass brother, Tommy?

Please.

Please. Cut us out of our own product.

This motherfucker begging, please, please.

Ain't no please, motherfucker.

It's only these.

Whose idea was this?

You or your stupid ass brother.

Please, he's already, he's dead.

It does not mean to cross your soul.

Oh, I know he's dead.

You know how I know?

Because I got guts, Tommy.

I got guts.

I got the DNA.

You name it, I got it. That's enough.

He's done.

ain't done until I'm done.

Shit hurts like a motherfucker donut, Tommy.

You see, back when I was in juvie, the guards, the warden,

even the doctors.

Looks like you've had a long day.

Now shouldn't you be somewhere to count money or something?

I do way much more than count money.

Oh, I know.

Aren't you supposed to be the left hand of God?

I am whatever he needs me to be.

Sounds convenient.

Do you have a problem with that?

With who you choose to lay down with?

Nah.

Not at all.

You're not falling in love, are you?

Not the tough -as -nails gunfire?

You like that shit?

You like that shit?

I know I gotta go.

Yeah, I know.

Mmm,

boy.

Quit it.

Get it back started.

Yeah. All right, I'm on the way.

Ain't pretty girl doing out here all alone

Hey,

baby, he was talking to you

Impressive. You know it's time to come back now, right?

I'm not going back.

Now, now, now.

Let's not make this difficult.

What are you going to do with that?

Besides make me angry.

I'm not doing it anymore.

I can't.

Oh, you can.

And you will.

You know why?

Please.

I love it when you beg.

What I'm asking you is not going to be easy.

Hell, it can be considered borderline suicide.

But no one, I mean, no one can know what you're doing.

All your cover will be compromised.

Not even Bowers.

What are you asking me to do, Joe?

I need you to work from inside.

Figure a way to get close to Saul and bring him to me. My fiancée, Joe.

She's special to me. I know.

I know.

She works for the District Attorney's Office, right?

Yeah. Look, I'll make sure that she's protected from here, okay?

But I need you fully engaged and focused on the mission at hand.

Now, he will seduce you.

Get into your head and make you believe things.

I'll get it done.

Oh, I know you will.

A lot of people are counting on you.

Here. There's only one number.

Straight to me.

It's a secured line.

I try not to use it, but I need you to contact me.

We'll talk, and we'll talk on your terms and your terms alone.

Got it.

Everything's all laid out.

Cover, contract, etc.

You're a distributor for Bama.

Looking to do business with the Son of God.

Okay.

Good luck, Luke.

Be safe.

Are you still not sleeping, Axel?

No.

Can you tell me about it?

What's going on?

Tell you about what?

I just can't sleep.

Why not?

Well, I don't know, Doc.

That's why I'm here to see you.

When I close my eyes, I see things.

What things?

Stuff.

Stuff that I've done and stuff that's happening. I don't know what any of it

means.

Does the drinking help?

Is there a problem with me drinking?

No.

Knowledge becomes excessive.

What do you consider excessive?

I think you know the answer to that, detective.

Do you like being a cop, detective?

You can answer truthfully.

Doc, look.

I've seen some things.

And I've done some things that'll probably make you question the type of

that I am.

But I became a cop to make a difference.

And I know that sounds cliche, but for me, it's what allows me to go out there

and do what I do every day.

Look, I've seen the type of bullshit that goes on out there in this world.

I see the bad cops that's killing innocent people, people like me.

So I figured I could do more from the inside than I could ever do out there.

More?

Like I said, Doc, I'm just trying to make a difference.

I'm going to call in a prescription for you. Help you with your non -sleeping.

What's that?

It's just going to be a little something to take the edge off. Nah, you can eat

that bullshit, Doc. I don't do medicine.

Look, just do me a favor.

Let the higher -ups know that I'm fine.

Have a good day, Detective.

Later.

Leah? Leah?

Leah? What happened?

This one tried to get away from me.

For a month.

On reconder, too.

Did he go on and hit her?

Although I don't know full of his methods, they're quite effective, yes?

Discipline is a must when that's a problem.

Clean her up.

Then let her rest on her guard.

We will continue in our faith today.

So the supplier we waiting on is coming in from Bama.

I asked some people to check him out.

Seems pretty legit.

He's the only supplier out there, and he's looking to get into the God's Eye

business. Oh, yeah?

Yeah, what's good, man?

You've been kind of off today.

I'm good, bro.

Sure?

You know you can speak to me about anything, right?

We boys.

Look, man, why y 'all got me on this nickel and dime shit?

I mean, you know I got in the business to make real moves, real money.

All y 'all got me doing is strong on me here and there.

You don't like what we do, man?

I ain't trying to move like this.

Look, we got you.

It's just, you know, we got to test the waters a little bit, make sure you're in

for the long haul.

Goddamn, man, how long it's going to take?

I ain't proven myself yet.

I mean, I think so, but...

Saul ain't sure yet.

You can understand that, right?

Matter of fact, this will be your last test right here.

That's him right there.

I want you on him like white -eyed motherfucking rice.

Alright.

There he is.

My man, Luke Cage.

My bad, man. I couldn't resist.

Nah, you good, bro.

Luke, this is Axe.

Axe, this is Luke. Uh, Gamble.

Luke motherfucking Gamble.

Strong ass name, bro.

Sound like some superhero shit.

Appreciate it, bro.

Well, Axe, here's your point of contact. You know what I'm saying?

Hopefully, we can establish a nice little business partnership.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Sounds good to me.

Nice to meet you, bro. Likewise.

So that first shipment we gave you was a test run.

How'd that run for you out there?

Shit, man, they eating it up down there. You know what I mean? That's something

new.

Got it off in like three days, if that.

But look, I got something for you in the car.

Something for me? Yeah.

I like this brother already.

Check it out.

the use of this.

So you got that off pretty easy, huh? Yeah.

Inbound?

Yeah, I didn't know they was even moving like that inbound.

Well, you know, money is money.

I'm just trying to get mine.

What you supplying?

Whatever. Coke, heroin, weapon, the God's eye, whatever's needed.

Well, look, we gonna celebrate.

But I got some shit I gotta handle first.

So I asked.

Show Luke around a little bit, and I'll link up with y 'all later.

Nice little business.

So you shoot?

Of course.

I got a spot around the corner, man, where we can go bust a few out.

I bet.

Say it that way.

Why did you try to leave oh, I know why you left

but he takes care of you

You asked

me why I left

Yeah, why do you stay

Are you free?

Yes.

Then why stay?

What's going on, man?

Do I have to take this?

How's our new disciple?

Deucey.

Good.

Keep my eye out.

See how you can benefit us in the long run.

Buddy seems hungry.

Ready for more.

You do time.

Right.

What about Matt?

What about him?

He's going to be getting more involved.

What do you really know about him?

Ex -military, back in office somewhere.

Here's the honor, proud to see you safe.

Came back home.

Good weather.

Very animal.

Not afraid to leave your head dirty, huh?

It's gonna be worth it.

I doubt it.

But I don't want that.

I

know

enough.

He's dark.

He's a fool that doesn't speak to me.

He's a troubled man.

What in this business?

for bringing Leah back, huh?

No problem.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to meet with Luke a little later.

Get some face -to -face time with him.

Check him a little bit.

Good.

And the guard's eye?

I'll check on that a little bit.

But after the adjustments have been made, we should be good to go.

There you go.

Keep me posted, huh?

Lieutenant.

What do we got here?

A couple of kilos.

Got Zion?

No.

My guess is that these guys are going to the highest bidder.

All right, see what you can get out of them. Should lead to something.

Can't throw a rock in this state without hitting either salt or sweets.

I'll see what I can do.

Lieutenant.

The hell are y 'all looking at?

Then where you said you from again?

Huntsville. What?

Shooting like that?

Yeah, bro. It ain't the country anymore.

I see.

Hey, you know, they say you can tell a lot about a man by the way he shoot.

I'm going to tell you something, bro.

I've been around a lot of these cats, man, and none of them shoot like you.

So what you see?

I see either ex -military or you're a cop. I don't know which one it is. It's

one of the two. That's all I'm saying. I don't know which one it is, but look.

Ex -military. Yeah, I can see that. I kind of figured it. I knew it was one of

them. Yeah, you?

Yeah, man, I was a ranger.

Ranger? Yeah.

Back in the day.

Me too, bro.

No shit.

Yeah. The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you're

scared. It's what you do while you're scared.

Rangers lead the way, bro. I'll be damned. Yeah. Look, I can drink today.

You want two more? All right.

Yeah.

I'm looking for Jenny.

And you are?

She's my realtor.

Miss Jenny, I appreciate you for seeing me on such late notice.

I couldn't wait.

Well, you're on the clock, so what can I do for you?

Well, two things.

I need two properties.

One, big, open, elegant, showroom -looking.

Okay. And the other?

And the other, a little less inconspicuous.

I see.

request for Saul.

Why does that matter?

Depends.

What happened to the lawyer, Dennis?

Oh shit, a motherfucking Nile wolf is in the building, huh?

Welcome, my G.

Lil' King.

I'm still next to the dog, man.

Enjoying this atmosphere?

Yeah, bro, this is real nice.

That's what's up.

Man, I could take a gig.

Well,

look, I got whatever you need.

Hello?

Loud. Legs.

Women.

Whatever. It doesn't matter. It's all I need.

All right, well, shit.

I'll start with a couple shots then.

Maybe more.

Hey, what's up?

Hey.

I'm sorry for calling.

Is everything okay?

I just... I just really need to hear your voice.

Alright.

That's why they fiend for us so much.

It's not about the high, the addiction.

It's the experience.

Yeah.

Well, how do you keep that shit as pure as you do? You distribute it.

Without the secret.

You see, we don't sell it to just anybody.

So in order to put us through, you gotta understand the product.

Right, right, right.

Ain't no stepping on shit like this.

That won't be tolerated.

Look at me like this.

Let's say, let's say I give you a car, right? Right. Like that talent you got.

And I give it to you. It's superfluous.

On the walls, TV, top of the line sound system, the world.

What else are you going to do with that?

Send that?

Exactly.

So that's why we did this with you.

Right, right.

You can throw the marker.

Go yourself and not be everything.

Amen. What's up, dog?

Hey.

What the? What's your name?

Xander Dan.

All right. I got you something.

Hey!

Get your little ass off me now. What's up, man? Who is you, man?

What up? What?

If I catch you down here selling the kids again, I'm going to do more than

your ass. You hear me?

Do you hear me?

You cannot be tired already.

Shut up.

We just ran five miles.

And we got five more to go.

Don't you got to go to work or something?

Now, normally I would come back with something clever to say.

But since you've been quiet all morning, and now you don't want to run, I know

there's something wrong.

Let's talk about it.

There's nothing to talk about.

So you think I don't know when something's wrong with my baby sister?

Yeah, exactly.

What's up?

Well,

I'm pretty sure you heard already.

About Luke?

Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

I know they got him working on something big.

Anna's gonna cry. You support him and trust him.

I know, I know. But I just need him to move away from that and behind his desk.

See, these asthmatists keep getting more and more dangerous, and as soon as they

get close, something like this happens. Luke can take care of himself.

Not everybody can do what we do, Sam.

True, true.

Look, did you read the study on paper?

What is it?

Can you just keep an eye on him? Did you hear anything?

Yeah, I can do that.

Let's go, y 'all. I'm on my way.

Detective. Don't call me that.

Damn, Max, relax.

Everything's fine.

I just don't understand why we have to meet like this. You know the drill. We

can't do this shit over the phone. I need my eyes locked on you to make sure

everything's okay.

Everything's fine.

That's not what the doctor says.

Do you want me to do my job or what? Yeah. So what's going on?

Quan.

Everything goes through him.

Nothing reaches Saul.

I've only seen him once, man.

I can't put him and the money or him and the drugs together ever at the same

time. Well, that's not going to be enough.

I know. I'm working on it.

What about the girl?

What girl?

Tatiana.

I don't know. I don't know. What do you mean you don't know?

From your report, she saw his girl. Didn't I tell you to get close to her?

working on it.

Look, kid, you need to move faster.

The feds are breathing down my neck about pulling my operative, you, out.

That would be a mistake.

Yes, it would.

This is more than just a Georgia drug dealer.

I'm about to be hung out to dry and be forced to have you pulled out.

Luke King.

Who the hell is that?

He's a new buyer.

I need you to see what you can get on him.

Bama boy.

Retired military.

Why? I don't need new buyers.

I need Saul, Kwan.

Tatiana in that order and it's God's eye bullshit off the streets.

Can you handle that detective?

Detective I can handle it Good

You should turn and come back to chat.

Sure.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not a problem at all. I can get that right to you.

Well,

okay. I'll see you soon.

Rob, hey.

So what can I do for you?

The boss wants to see us in his office in about five minutes.

You alright?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I just got some other stuff going on.

But, um, do you know what this is about?

I wouldn't say.

Okay, well, I guess I'll see you then.

Samantha,

thank you for joining us.

Sorry about the short notice.

What's going on, Carl?

Well, this is FBI agent Joe Carson, and we'll be working with him on the Son of

God case.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well.

Now, we'll be leading the prosecution team, while Agent Carson will be heading

up a task force in charge of finding information for us to build this case.

Well, I'm looking forward to working with you to help you with Google.

Like what, Agent Carson?

Now, Samantha will be running point on this, along with myself.

Our goal is to bring down the most notorious drug dealer the state has ever

seen. Now that we have the new intel that we need to move forward with this

case.

That's why you're here, Samantha.

I want this to take priority over all other cases.

Yes, sir.

This shouldn't be a problem at all.

Well, good.

Well, let's get to working then. Let's go.

Good luck.

What the hell are you doing here?

I needed to see you. No, you didn't. You know you're not supposed to be out here

like this. Were you followed?

No. How do you know? Are you sure?

Stop it.

What do you want?

I needed to see you.

T, stop it.

Are you high?

Just a little.

What? Oh shit.

Just haven't been getting no sleep these last few days.

Nah, that shit is overrated.

We'll get plenty of sleep once we die.

That's what they say.

So what brings you to this side of town?

Business, of course.

I got some present business I need you to take care of.

What business?

You looking for something?

You know, after all this time we've known each other, this is my first time

your crib.

Just checking out your feng shui.

You're costing some costing, brother.

Ooh, real smooth, brother.

I bet you get a lot of pussy running in and out this motherfucker, huh?

I do my thing.

But now that the tour is over, can we get back to business?

Business.

Julian Sweets Douglas.

What do you know about him?

Talking about Sweets over in Decatur, right?

The only one that we don't have pushing for us.

Salt wants us to change that.

Make it happen.

It's not that easy.

He's almost as invincible as Salt is.

Kill him.

To win a hundred victories in a hundred battles, it's not that I can get the

kill.

It's up to the enemy without us.

You need to go.

You need to go. Come on.

Get out of here.

When can I be?

I don't know. I don't know, but you need to get out of here. Let's go.

All right.

Thank you.

Go.

Thank you.

Well, well, well.

King Kwan.

What brings you down there to the slums, big man?

Man, you call this the slums?

Yeah, I figured I'd come through the west side and check out my homie's

Okay.

You know the door is always open.

Open doors lead to open opportunities.

You are correct.

Please.

Let

me start

off by saying I appreciate you taking the time out to see me.

The door's always open.

You know, we go way back.

Way before you started running with that crazy ass. But you remember

how we used to get down, right?

Women, shootouts.

You remember, right?

Right, right.

Speaking of which, you know how I get down, sweet.

I come with a number.

Number?

I'm listening.

Seventy -five.

Seventy -five, huh?

Well, that actually sounds a little bit better than what you came with before.

So you should know that nobody else is getting anything close to that.

So, all of that for me?

You see how you get down, sweetie?

One thing in the mix.

Think of it more as a partnership.

Partnership.

75 % sounds like it's more than a partnership.

Sounds like you're trying to buy my loyalty, Kwan.

We want the gods eye in every stream possible.

Here we go.

The purest dope known to man.

The God's eye.

Tell me something, man.

What kind of crackhead calls himself the son of God and actually

have people believe in him?

I mean, damn, we in some crazy times.

That's a fucking move.

What makes you think I need you guys, Laquan?

I mean, I got my own thing going on.

Come here.

You came down here for... people.

You want it like this now, tweets?

Hey.

Take it a little jumpy.

Bring it, Todd.

Todd.

I've thought about it.

And I'm good.

So Saul and his little bullshit following, they can stay in his

I'm damn sure gonna stay in mine.

All right.

Nope.

I ain't come down here to be no gunman.

I get that.

I'm the middleman.

And you okay with being the middleman?

Yeah, it keeps me out of shit and money in my pocket. Look, you know how the

game go.

He has to know he can trust you before he start making real moves with you,

If you check out, but you're new.

Look, man, I'm not finna be doing this whole song and dance with y 'all.

So what's the move?

Hey.

Hey.

I miss you.

Are you coming home anytime soon?

Yeah. Very soon.

Good. Because I need you.

I want you.

And what do you want me to do?

Everything.

You okay?

Baby? Yeah.

Oh,

I gotta go.

7 .07 a .m.

That is a great number.

What are you doing?

Oh, I never sleep.

I came here to drop something off, and I said, that's all.

I was on my way out, and I saw you pulling up.

Okay. Don't you have some work to do?

Something like that.

The question is, who were you last night?

Mind of my own business.

You know, I figured you'd say something like that. But if the eyes don't lie,

and they usually don't, I could have swore I saw you come out of Axis Crip.

Now, on occasion, the eyes can play tricks on you.

But this video?

And so?

You know, I know I'm gonna matter in other people's business, especially with

shit like this.

But in this case, I figured you should know that I know.

What do you want, Quan?

Absolutely nothing, at the moment.

But what I do want... is for you to be safe out there.

There's some dangerous men out here.

I can take care of myself.

Count on that.

It's all weeks up.

I'm going to check my face.

Oh, and by the way.

12 is off the chain.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Come here.

You think you're ready for all that?

Of course I am.

About to get all of them, too.

All in the car.

Easy, sweetie.

We got a message for you.

You look like shit.

What'd you find out?

Well, I think it's a waste of time putting resources on this.

Noted. Got it. Your boy checked out. Bama boy, military, articled out on

15 for striking a superior officer.

Can you tell me why we're focusing on a nobody?

A nobody?

Yeah. This nobody's getting closer to Saul.

And he's slowly building distribution of the guys out down in Bama.

Look, Saul hasn't moved outside of Georgia until now.

So, therefore, nobody could be beneficial to us.

Holy shit, I stand corrected.

I suppose you are doing some cop work.

Any word from the higher -ups?

Look, I'm working on it, but surprisingly, it's quiet.

What that mean?

It means you continue to work. That's what that means. And I'll focus on

going on out there.

All right.

By the way, don't you have an appointment to go to?

About that.

I just don't think I need to see a shrink anymore.

Look, Detective, I don't care what you think.

It's protocol for all the deep cover operatives.

It ensures me that you're not losing yourself to this job.

I'm losing myself.

And that's in order.

So why are you pulling rank, Charlie?

Why? You're still young enough to kick your ass, and you're old enough to die

while you try.

Screw you.

Cheeky.

How you doing, man?

What's good, killer?

Another day, another dollar, punk. True that.

So what's this, uh, a meeting of the minds or something?

Nah, it's the last step to get you in the fan, yo.

Don't worry about him.

He's only here for moral support.

So what you need?

We got a bit of a problem.

Problem? Yeah.

Somebody tried to make me move on Sweets last night after we left.

So naturally, the fingerprints back to us.

What's that got to do with me?

I like that.

We ain't ask whether we did it or not.

It's not my business.

Exactly. But I'm going to tell you what it is, though.

It's go time, my G.

I mean, you've got potential in everything.

But I ain't never seen you put in no work to get your hands dirty.

You scrap?

Always.

All right, good.

But you ain't going to need it, though.

See that brother over there?

He's always ready to put in some work.

But see, even though you've got potential, that puts me in a bit of a

The boss said he only got room for one more, so naturally, that leaves me to

make a decision on who that's going to be.

What's this, some sort of audition or some shit?

Told you that brother had that shit. You see that shit?

That's what the fuck I'm talking about. Yo, I like that shit. I like that.

Hey, yo, hold up, man. Hold up.

You got me out here for this bullshit.

When you try me again, it's going to be me and you, big man.

Right, right.

Hey, yo, listen.

I got a tip on who put that hit out on Sweet.

So in order to show that we had nothing to do with it, we got to prove it.

So I need you to handle that.

So what's this?

For your time, of course.

Respect.

Pick his ass up. Put him in.

Long notes.

Hopefully an exciting one.

What do you have for me?

I took care of both requests.

I have a space set up outside the city, out in Conyers.

It's very quaint and conspicuous.

You'll like it.

Okay. Well, I'll get someone to contact you to take possession of it and just

know that it's between you and me.

No problem.

Name?

Same as Mr. Gray and his associate, Goose.

They all take possession of the location.

And also remember that this is for me, not for it. As long as you continue to

pay me, I don't care who they work for.

Perfect.

Then we have an understanding.

That we do.

I'll contact you about the open space.

I should have something lined up for you soon.

So will you please.

I'm sure you will be.

Good day, Falstown.

Thank you, Jenny.

The very thing will be set up when you arrive, you and your brother.

Yeah, no rush.

Thank you. You both.

I'm proud of you.

See you soon.

Tell me about your father.

What about him?

I want to know about your father.

What was he like?

He was tough, disciplined, hardcore.

What kind of discipline?

Whatever it took.

He just wanted me to be strong and able to stand on my own, too.

And you always felt the need to prove to him that you were good enough.

Of course.

But when he died, everything stopped.

Nothing left to prove?

Only to myself.

What are you thinking?

Solid affair.

We can't even get our eyes on him.

Why is that?

He stays in the shadows.

But once we draw him out, he's ours.

The deep cover -up.

That's a start.

Can we get access to the operatives?

Negative.

I try to get that open to us, but quite frankly, that's too dangerous.

Look, at what point do we get access to the intel, Carl? We need something to go

off of.

I'll start working on that.

Ain't shit I can't handle.

Nah, man. You don't handle shit like that. That's what you got me for.

Respect.

Alright, so what's the move?

We gonna send a message to Quan's ass.

Let him know promptly who the hell he's dealing with.

Yeah, I like that.

I like that. Alright, you call me when it's done.

Alright, so bet.

Yo, back again, huh?

Yo, man, it's hilarious.

You should see your neighbors out there.

You can tell they used to send a motherfucker like me in your

Yo, you heard about the situation with Sweets? Yeah, what's the word on that?

You know what you should be concerned about?

I got homeboy on it. Who that?

Bama Luke.

What you got him on?

Make sure he take care of that little mishap.

Gets you squared away with Sweets.

And who knows?

After that, I don't know.

Maybe he might want to lay low for a minute.

Package should have had back the banner.

What you mean?

I'm saying, I ain't never seen that cat back down to anybody.

You, me, nobody.

You ain't never seen me back down either, so what that mean?

Man, that's different.

You're my brother.

I don't know that cat like that.

And besides, I got to find that one of these days.

I don't have to smoke, man.

Then you got to do what you got to do.

Exactly. See, that's why I fucks with you.

You know exactly what time it is.

You got my back.

I got yours.

Yo, man, we going places.

Just make sure you stay close to the God.

No doubt.

All right.

Hey, love.

I got everything I can get on Smith.

I got a tip, too.

Say you're gonna be down at the pool hall on fifth.

On fifth?

Yeah, you know the one.

Down by the titty bar.

You need me to know what you're doing or not?

I got it.

Sister, man.

She worried about you. Of course she did. So what's she say now? She always

she wants you to work behind her death.

Behind her death, huh? Yeah.

I don't know why she did it. Yeah.

What they got you working on?

Nothing major.

Still trying to recover from the soda surgery.

I'm Soda Phil. You know me.

Alright, lad.

Let me go handle this business.

Appreciate you handling it.

You didn't know shit without me.

Okay, sir.

Yeah, Sweet's at the Delway.

And Julian?

Sweet's at the Delway and everything's everything.

He appreciates the gesture.

You know, he's considered a proposal.

Good.

I'll look back, too.

If he refuses again, why not just kill him?

There's a time and place for that.

But the time is not now.

Julian is a necessary evil at the moment.

Whether he joins us or not.

At what point does it come unnecessary?

When I say.

You up?

She's a girl.

Okay.

Oh, not.

You have been loyal from the outset.

I respect your methods.

That notes, I think I'm going to retire for the evening.

Have a good night, Juan.

have to be afraid of me.

What happened last time was strictly business.

You should come with me.

Please.

Please why?

I don't want to go.

You don't want to go.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

What we got here?

What's up, man?

What the hell you doing here, mate?

Business.

Business?

Yeah. Oh, business.

I got you.

Yeah. What the hell are you doing here? Well, if you must know, I got myself a

meeting with Smitty about a few things.

No.

We need to get the hell out of here.

Let's speak of the devil.

Happy Jack.

Smith, how you doing, buddy?

Um, who's this?

This?

This is my cousin.

Twice removed.

He was just having himself a drink.

Having a drink, huh?

Well, uh, he'll be coming with us.

Actually, he was just about to leave.

Leave? No, no, no, no. Nonsense.

Come on.

You think you can walk in my establishment and pin this shit on me?

What are you talking about?

I'm not talking to you.

What's going on?

I'm talking to this guy.

Yeah, I've heard about you.

Big, white, fancy beard.

Ain't life a bitch?

hell, Jack? You're not even supposed to be coming around here.

And what's with that accent?

Haley, shut the hell up. Just fix him and I'm gone, okay?

Fine. What happened?

He was stabbed.

Yeah, that's a deep one.

Okay, I'll get my kid.

Just until he regains his strength.

Who is he?

A friend that has saved my ass more times than I can count.

So take care of him.

Okay.

Thank you.

I know I don't say it enough, but I really mean it.

What was with that weird act that you were doing?

That's a long story.

What up, sis?

Hey. What's going on?

What's it been, like three years?

Yeah, something like that.

Well, what do you think of my spot?

I'm going to buy it. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Cute, right?

Yeah.

You know, Mom's been asking me to buy it a lot.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

How's she doing?

She's good.

Good.

I'm worried about you.

Tell her she ain't got to worry about me. I'm fine.

You know, we're all worried about it.

Like, after Dad died, you just sort of fell off the case of the earth.

Here we go. Nobody even knows what you're doing with yourself anymore.

See, thanks.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, this phone call, where did it come from out of the blue?

I can't call my sister?

I was thinking about you. I wanted to see you. Yeah, right.

I did.

How's Juju?

He's good.

Always asking about his Uncle Axel.

Can't wait to see that little knucklehead again.

Y 'all still been getting that money out there, right? Yeah.

Okay. We are.

Good.

I know you don't have to do that.

I know I don't have to, but I want to.

Thank you.

Don't ask like that.

Why is it the topic of every conversation nowadays?

You have to let him go.

What happened was not your fault.

You hear me?

Yeah, I hear you.

You have to stop alienating me.

I'm not healthy.

I need you. Okay, sis, look. It was a good thing.

I gotta get out of here. Let everybody know that I'm thinking about them. I
