Previously on power...

All that money
I found in your place, tommy,

That's not from the club.

I'm a drug dealer.

This d.A. Has a bunch of cases
under judicial review.

That's why you're
getting out fast.

When?

Leave isabel alone, nomar.

Looks like
you're cleaning house.

Well, you're eliminating
the competition.

I saw simon stern today.

It went great.

Vegas, miami.

Mm, I like miami.

If tasha ever found out,

She'd blow up your family
and our whole game.

I got you
a little something myself.

I hope it makes you smile.

Celebrating my high holy day.

And this puta sticks me.

The hitter was a girl?

We find this girl,

We find out who's been
hitting us.

Try to get yourself near
ruiz and his top guys.

When they're talking business.

Especially if they mention
lobos or the distributor.

Who's the blanquito
in there with ruiz?

That's the guy who gets us
the product, distro.

Your party was
over the top, "t."

Sure was.

I'm still trying to work through
that vodka hangover.

Oh, god.

What did your husband
get you again?

He got her that new celine tote,

Like kanye got kim,

And then something
a little more stimulating,

If you know what I mean.

So your man delivers
in accessories and in bed?

Shit, tasha,
that's a goddamn fairy tale.

That's what I said.

It's just a life, y'all.

It's got its ups and downs
like everybody else's.

I want to know how he proposed.

I'm taking notes.

All right, well, take notes,

'cause I'm gonna tell the story.

It's my favorite story.

You know, basically,
she was still a kid.

And one day, they were driving
down the new jersey turnpike.

No, it was the bqe.

Okay, whatever.

And then the cops
pulled them over.

So he leans in,

And he's like,
"yo, I got a piece in the car."

Why did he have a gun?

For protection.

You know how the hood was.

It was in the glove compartment.

As the cop's walking up,

I take it out,
put it in my purse.

Cop searches him.

He searched the car,
found nothing.

Cop walks up to me, eyeballs me.

I was never so scared
in my life.

And then what happened?

He just walks away.

I don't know why.

I still don't know why.

We drove away,
didn't talk about it.

I didn't even cry
until we got home.

Two days later,
he gives me this ring.

You a stone cold bitch, "t."

[laughter]

Ride or die.

Well, you know, he said
he knew he could trust me.

He knew he had
my complete loyalty.

And I said as long
as he gave me the same,

We'd be together forever.

I love that story.

It's like the first time,
every time I hear that story.

[laughter]

Now we got to figure out
how to get you a man.

And a house and a ring,

'cause you didn't even
understand.

Why he had a gun in the car.

I still don't understand
why he needed that gun.

Thanks for meeting me here.

I couldn't make it
all the way uptown.

I still wanted to see you.

I prefer my apartment,

But being here
has certain benefits,

Like room service.

[laughs]

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

God, I wish I could
stay here all day.

I don't want to go out there,
to the real world.

[sighs]

This, us, is real.

Woman.

You feel that way, too, right?

Hmm?

[telephone buzzes]

It's okay.

You can get it.

I'll call her back.

What's she like?

Well, tasha is...

Not you.

Hmm?

Oh, good, I'm glad you're here.

Do you mind if I borrow
your black leather jacket?

What?

It's Tuesday, laundry day.

Should I have called first?

Why start now?

No smoking in it, okay?

I'm still angry about
the burn hole.

That was in my sweater.

I quit three months ago.

Where you been?

Never mind, I guess I know.

Shit is so much hotter
in hotels, right?

Manny took me
to the marriott once,

And let me...

I'm just glad
you finally found a way.

To get your fireworks with greg.

I'm not with greg anymore.

Y que?

You got some new hot thing.

You didn't tell me about?

I didn't know what it was
for a while,

So I didn't want to
say anything.

What's his name?

It's jamie st. Patrick.

From the old neighborhood?

I guess I never really
let him go.

I guess not,

No matter how many times.

Papi chased him
out of the house.

He was a punk.

Playing lookout
for those gangsters.

He's changed.

He's not like that anymore.

You got it bad, don't you?

He's a good guy, paz.

You'll see.

I sure will.

How about dinner?

If he's as great as you say,

It feels like I should re-meet
my future cuñado.

You'll ask him, right?
I'll ask him.

We are not competition.

We are only old friends.

It should not take you so long
to come to friend for help.

Guns in the sauna.

You serbians have
an interesting way.

Of defining friendship,
vladimir.

They are overprotective.

What can I say?

Now, tell me, how can I help?

I'm looking for a gun...

Actually a knife for hire,

A woman.

A white girl, spanish,
or a black?

Definitely latin.

I do business with
a haitian from new jersey.

You must have conversation
with him.

But he is a little...

Interesting.

You talking about drift?

I got work
with that motherfucker.

If he knew something
about this shit,

He should've reached out.

When he and I worked together,

He knew who to call
to eliminate a problem.

If she's out there,
he'll know about her.

You heard from stern?

No.

What, you getting nervous?

Just want to know what time
this dinner's gonna be.

Men like stern
are on a plane half the year.

I bet his wife
can't get a hold of him.

Good point.

He was impressed, boss.

Don't worry, we got this.

I can get you two lovebirds
a room.

I bet you'd like that.

Come on, get out of here.

We got grown man business
to talk about.

I'll let you know
if stern calls.

Do that.

You see the triads?

Yeah, and the italians.

Hadn't heard of her.

But the serb told me
you should talk to drift.

Aren't we supposed to
meet with drift.

As soon as we squash
all this shit?

I thought you two were cool,
man.

Yeah.

You think he would've
reached out.

If he knew something.

So either
he doesn't know anything.

- Or we're getting played.
- Yeah.

And there's only one way to
fucking find out, tommy.

Yeah, we got to go visit him.

In his fucked-up house
in jersey.

Mmm.

Man, I hate going out there.

You're driving.

Come on.

I can't go with you, man.

I got a lot to do
for this party.

Save it.

Look, go tomorrow. Take julito.

I know he's doing runs today.

Whatever, man.

Angela.

We've been waiting for you.

I'm sorry.

It's good to see you again,
mr. Collins.

Good morning.

How do you feel about detroit?

We're putting together
a border drug unit there,

Want someone of your caliber
on board.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

California appears to
have made significant headway.

In the lobos case.

An associate of his has been
arrested and might sing.

If he does, they may be ready
to arrest within the week.

They're shutting down
our lobos task force.

We're shifting funding
to other departments.

My father isn't in good health.

It's not a good time for me
to leave new york.

Frankie said you were ambitious.

I thought you'd
jump at the chance.

For a successful prosecution.

All right, look.

Barring a huge development
in your lobos investigation,

I'm gonna need your answer
about detroit.

By the end of the week.

Yes, sir.

Is it wet?

It is?

Oh, how wet?

Um, I got to go.

Don't even.

What the fuck?

He was just about to
kill the doctor.

Ouch.

Bitch, are you crazy?

You could lose your job
for this shit.

It's, like, police brutality.

I told you before.

Nobody cares what I do to you.

You all right,bruja?

Something's got you shook.

All these white boys
look the same to me.

Besides, these pendejos
are small time.

The hijo de pu you're looking
for ain't gonna be in here.

I gave you his name.

What more do you want?
His picture.

So until you find him,
you keep looking.

Mrs. St. Patrick.

Hey, I got here
as quick as I could.

I told you.

When we're alone,
you can call me tasha.

So where do you need me
to take you, tasha?

- That's up to you.
- What?

Look, I've been thinking about
what you said.

When you tried to give me
those earrings,

About ghost, about loyalty.

No, no, I didn't mean
anything by it.

Sure, you did.

And the way you said it,

Seems like my husband
is seeing another woman.

And the way I see it,

If he's stepping out
on our marriage...

Maybe I should, too.

Look, I know you said
what you said.

Because you care about me.

And I care about you too.

I mean, don't you think
I deserve better.

Than to be kept in the dark?

You ever been to detroit?

A couple times. Why?

You trying to go?

Not exactly a vacation spot
this time of year.

What?

No, nothing like that.

You okay?

What's up?

You think you can get out
again this week, for dinner?

Dinner time is tough,

Because of the kids, you know.

I know.

It's just...

[sighs]

My sister found some hotel keys
in one of my pockets.

She asked what was going on,
so I...

You told her.

About us.

She wants to have dinner,
see how you turned out.

How is paz?

[laughter]

Is she still borrowing money?

Never.

[laughs]

Exactly.

I remember her breaking
your piggy bank,

So she could buy
some damn candies.

I want her to see
how much you've changed.

When and where is this dinner,
woman?

Hmm?

I will be there, I promise.

Day after tomorrow?

You're lucky I like you.

[laughs]

You sure you want to do this?

I deserve to know
what I'm up against.

What are you gonna do?

What you think I'm gonna do?

No, that's not her.

That's not her.

Hmm.

You know her name?

Angela.

Thank you.

Good night.

[laughs]

Come here.

Hey.

I've seen her before,
at the club.

Ghost was talking to her.

He said it was just a friend
from high school.

He told me...
he told me not to trip.

I saw her, and he...

Have a good night.

Just take me home.

Look, tasha...

Just, please, take me home.

We need to start over
from the beginning.

Consider anibal.

Hermanos tainos
are well-connected.

And have a lot of territory.

Dead.

Soldado nation's
just as connected.

And even though lobos
told ruiz to fuck off,

He still made an attempt
at the throne.

And his punishment was being
aired out with a switchblade.

So anibal is dead.

Ruiz is out.

Who's next?

We know hermanos tainos
and soldado nation.

Are in ghost's network.

So we need to revisit
the geo-profile.

To see what other crews
in different boroughs.

Fit the same criteria.

There are over
200 criminal organizations.

In new york city
that could apply.

It could take us days
to narrow that list.

I'm sure you've heard the talk.

About breaking up
this task force.

Frankie and collins are
out of their fucking minds.

If they think I'm leaving
this bitch.

Without getting lobos.

Me too.

Not until we're done.

This voodoo zombie shit
freaks me the fuck out.

As you're unfamiliar
with our religion,

I will forgive your disrespect.

I was surprised to hear
about your...

Troubles.

You and ghost
run a respected network.

Word travels fast.

It made me reconsider
our fledgling partnership.

We'll get this handled.

We'll be back on track
to do our thing,

If you're straight with me.

I have cousins in miami.

A few years ago,
they crossed paths.

With a female spanish hitter.

She was good,

Put down five people
in his crew.

Well, this crew that your
cousins had a beef with,

You got a name for me?

Rock street killahz.

And they're very, very strong
in florida too.

Your friend rolla,
he has street brothers there.

Should I make an offering
for you?

I think you need it.

No, thanks.

Hey, yo, you gonna call ghost?

Nope.

No?

Isabela, mi amor...

It's not a boy, is it?

It's definitely not a boy, papi.

[knock on door]
Jefe, you have a visitor.

Hey.

I wasn't expecting you.

I wasn't expecting to be here.

I got pressing business.

I got my crew on the streets,
shaking trees.

We got nothing
on that bitch who hit me.

That's what I came to
talk about.

I got it on good authority.

The people responsible for
hitting us and stabbing you.

Could be the rsks.

Could that be?

[chuckles]

Soldados and rsk.

Always had beef.

[groans]

Rolla's arrogant, headstrong.

I had eyes on him
since all of this started.

He's just the kind of man
that makes a move like this,

Looks you right in the face.

And points the finger
in the other direction.

The question is,
will ghost do what needs doing?

He'll do it.

I just need to talk to him.

He doesn't know?

You came to me first.

Ooh.

[chuckles]

We are at a crossroads, hermano,

Not just for everything
we've worked for,

But for you.

Change is hard
and sometimes necessary.

Maybe you should
handle this yourself.

Either way...

Needs to be put into the dirt.

And if you don't,

There's gonna be a body dropping
from rsk every day.

What about the triads
in the bronx?

Too small.

Russians in brooklyn?

Russians working with latinos?

I doubt it.

Nancy drew,
you're quiet over there.

Take a look at this.

Rsk in queens?

The guy running the crew
is named rolla.

He's got one serious rap sheet.

Rsk has doubled in scope
and influence.

Over the last six months.

What can do that?

Influx of cash,
new product, both.

Lobos.

Suddenly,
the rsks are controlling.

A huge amount of territory.

Whoever ghost is,
rolla could be our connect.

It makes perfect sense.

If rolla is in
the ghost network,

He's either ghost's next target.

Or at least knows who he is.

Either way,
we need to talk to him.

We might just save his life.

I know who's been
going after us.

Rolla.

[laughs]

That's what drift told you.

Okay, all right.

Get the fuck out of here
with that bullshit.

You're fucking with me, right?

Cousins of drift's in miami.

Were iced by a latin girl hitter
a few years back.

The crew that hired her
was a miami set of rsks.

Pretty straight line
to rolla from there.

That's not proof, tommy.

Ruiz thinks it is.

He's threatened to go to war
with the rsks.

Unless we fix this.

First of all, fuck ruiz.

I ain't never taken orders
from his snake ass,

And I ain't gonna start now.

And secondly,
why would rolla do it?

We've known him for years.

Come on, man.

Same reason
two former corner boys.

Looked breeze in the face.

And shot him
in the fucking head.

When you want that top spot,

You're willing to do
whatever it takes to get it.

Everything we've been through,

This is the only thing
that makes sense now.

I'm telling you, it's rolla.

We're supposed to be partners
in this shit, 50-50.

You trust me, right?

[taps on bar]

[sighs]

You and me were sure
it was anibal.

And then you and me
were sure it was ruiz.

See, tommy, the problem is,
we can't be wrong again.

I'm not wrong.

This is the priority now.

Not this fucking club
or any other bullshit.

That's been a distraction
from what we're doing.

This is gonna happen,
one way or another.

One way or another.

If you don't want a war,

There's only one way to stop it.

I'm not pulling that trigger
without proof, tommy,

No fucking way.

You don't believe me. Fine.

Get all the fucking proof
you need, if you can,

By tomorrow.

Kill rolla...

Or I will.

Can't sleep, baby?

Sorry,
I didn't mean to wake you.

Something on your mind?

[chuckles] always.

You want to talk about it?

I got a big decision to make,
tasha.

What does tommy think?

You know tommy.

He doesn't think.

He wants me to trust him,
you know.

You got to trust the people
who've always been loyal to you.

Tommy's always been loyal.

Always has been, up until now.

Is there anyone whose judgment
you trust as much?

Anyone who's been on your side
all this time?

Big j, I need to send
a package upstate.

[sighs]

Hey, yo, man, lights out
is gonna be at 9:00 tonight.

Whatever, man.

I turn them off
when I turn them off.

What's up, k?

Must be real shit
if you're reaching out this way.

Shit, I ain't get no message
like this since...

The trenton beef.

Well, you guided me right
then, man,

And I need your ear now.

So what you need?

Well, look, man,
I don't know if you heard.

Someone's been hitting our crew,

Dropping motherfuckers
left and right.

Now I heard rsk
might be involved.

Hard to believe, though,
you know?

Rolla a loyal motherfucker, man.

You made him what he is.

He wouldn't move against us.

Yeah, that's what I think.

But, you know, I trusted people
before and been burned.

I hear that.

Well, word's out.

I got to move
on this shit today,

Or I got a war on my hands, bro.

Say no more.

Keep the phone close, all right?

All right. One.

[telephone ringing]

James st. Patrick here.

Mr. St. Patrick,
this is simon stern.

Oh, hello.

How does tonight work for you,
6:00 p.M.?

6:00 p.M. Tonight is great.

Good.

I'll have my assistant
send you the address.

I look forward to seeing you
and your wife in a few hours.

Oh, and leave that sycophantic
boy wonder, kantos,

At home, will you?

Tonight is adults only.

Absolutely.

You look like
you just saw a ghost.

That was simon stern.

Dinner's tonight.

What did I tell you?

He wants to partner.

What time should we be there?

Not you, just me
and my wife at 6:00 p.M.

Oh, shit, at 6:00.

I got to go make a call, now.

Well, have a good time.

I guess.

Dos.

[singing in portuguese]

♪

Thank you for doing this.

I want you to like him.

He makes me happy.

I know.

You cooking, it says a lot.

[cell phone buzzes]

Angie, how you doing?

I'm covered in flour.

- What's up?
- Stern called.

See?

You were all worried
for nothing.

You're right, always are.

He invited me to dinner
at their house.

It's tonight, angie.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Look, I'll make it up to you.

I need to swing by the house
on my way back.

But I can come by after,
you know.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Focus on stern tonight.

Yeah?

Yeah. Go kill it.

All right, thanks.

So it was a meeting?

That's why he canceled?

A business meeting, yeah.

Pretty last-minute
for a business thing,

Don't you think?

Don't, okay.

I'm just saying,

Doesn't it sound
a little sketchy to you?

I know what business happens
last-minute at night,

And it ain't the kind
in boardrooms.

If he wants to make you happy,

He has to get off the streets.

I know you said that
he's different now, angela.

He's married.

He's a businessman, legit,
aboveboard, real.

I told you,
he's changed since we were kids.

He's just... Married.

The hotel keys.

Now I get it.

And you're supposed to be
the smart one.

I know.

I can tell.

But it's not enough.

It never is.

This isn't gonna be
a happily ever after.

[cell phone vibrates]

You look great.

Well, I'd hope you'd like it,

Since you picked out everything
for me to wear.

It's an important night, tasha.

We got to be on our a-game,
all right?

We got to handle tonight,
so we earn a tomorrow.

So go easy on the drinking.

[scoffs]

I don't need these people
seeing you tipsy.

And if the wife wants to
get chatty,

Just play along with it.

I won't embarrass you.

Okay, ghost?

Ah, I take it
this is the lovely.

Mrs. St. Patrick.

James didn't mention
your beauty.

This is my wife, madeline.

Oh, hello.

Your home is beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

The place in boca
feels more like home,

But here we are.

Mrs. Stern, pleasure.

Likewise.

Darling, why don't you take
mrs. St. Patrick on the tour?

James and I have some business
to talk about.

Trust me, you do not
want to be here.

When they talk about business.

You will fall asleep.

My wife is beautiful, isn't she?

Yes, sir.

It's expected, you know.

We have to play the part.

They have to look the part.

It all gets so goddamn boring
after a while.

[laughs]

Ah, perrier-jouet, 1825.

Oh, no thank you.

A club owner who doesn't drink.

How curious.

You are full of surprises,
mr. St. Patrick.

I've invited another couple
to join us,

One of my lieutenants
and his wife.

Todd and...

- Sandra.
- Sandra.

This is james st. Patrick.

- Todd, sandra.
- Pleasure.

The pleasure's mine.

This is the young upstart.

Who stole our
cynthia sheridan parties.

That is me.

[laughter]

It certainly is.

Dinner.

How about food?

Let's eat.

[cell phone buzzes]

[line trilling]

I need you to meet me
in 30 minutes.

So then he asked,
"do yachts like to sink?"

Oh, god, it's so much better
once they leave.

God knows they don't want to
talk to us.

And we do not want to
talk to them.

[laughs]

Sweetie, those are so pretty.

Are they new?

$15,000.

Didn't bat an eye.

You should've got him
for at least 30.

Price they pay
for the time away.

Should've been 50
for that new club location.

He's been investigating
on the side.

It's so funny
how they think you don't know.

Oh, no, they know you know.

They just don't care.

Mm.

That's the spirit.

The only way to get through
these things.

Is to stay drunk.

Cheers.

Can I ask you something?

Can I touch your hair?

I just think it's fascinating.

Excuse me for a second.

- So pretty.
- So cute.

Darling.

Back when I was still
in the clubs day-to-day,

The ideal mix was models,
actors,

The musicians, of course,

Politicians hoping
not to get caught,

Gays, drag queens,

Those smooth,
hairless young men.

Anything went.

A buffet of pleasures, really.

That was before aids came in
and ruined everything.

I digress.

My point is, times have changed.

A truly successful mix
now involves.

A certain element that I admit
I am less familiar with.

African-americans and latinos.

Have begun to have
real purchasing power.

They're dictating
the marketplace,

Not just influencing it.

How do you get the blacks
and the latins.

To show up night after night
and behave?

Mixing with the club kids
and the socialites.

And on top of that, take my
cynthia sheridan business.

Guys with your background
usually open clubs uptown.

Or in brooklyn.

And open and close within
a week, but not you.

What's your secret?

No details,
just your philosophy.

There is no secret, just me.

I don't follow.

Well, I'm a black man
from the hood.

Most of the guys I came up with
are either dead or in jail.

I live in the penthouse
of my building,

Above the lawyers and doctors.

Trying to get into my club.

See, people take you
at face value, simon.

Me, well, I have to transform.

To meet everyone's
expectations constantly.

Truth isn't one thing,
because I'm not one thing.

You understand?

I take all my experiences
and use them.

To cater to all different kinds
of people, under one roof.

Whether it's the
black professional athlete,

Ordering his next bottle
of ciroc,

Or whether it's
the wall street motherfucker.

Getting blackout drunk
on the company's dime,

I understand him.

I get him.

And because I get him...
I get him.

And because I get him,
I get rich.

Okay, I want to hear details.

I want your offer.

$6 million.

$6 million.

To open the next club?

No, to own it outright,

To add it to my brand.

[chuckles]

Truth is not for sale, simon.

James, once you get started,

You won't even have time
for truth.

You're gonna be seeing
so much of this world,

Working for me.

You're gonna forget
all about that club.

Working for you?

As one of my executives
in training.

I'll bring you into management.

Maybe you'll replace todd here
as my right hand.

Maybe.

I told you, I'm "the secret"
to truth's success.

I don't need training
to be myself.

I came here to discuss
a partnership.

[scoffs]

Partnership with you?

No.

You may be talented,
but you're not ready.

But since you are so unique,

You come on,

I'll let you report
directly to me.

My husband
doesn't report to anyone.

[laughs]

Oh.

Is that how you feel, james?

Simon, I didn't get where I am
by following.

I lead.

I urge you
to reconsider partnership,

Because if I walk out
of that door,

I turn from potential ally
back to competitor,

And I don't think you want that.

I don't think you want that,
either.

I'll take my chances.

Thank you for your hospitality.

May the best man win.

I will.

Todd.

Mrs. St. Patrick,
you're a feisty one.

I like that.

Mm-hmm.

Don't worry, baby.

You did the right thing.

It wasn't your call
to speak for me, tasha.

It's my decision to make.

There was no decision.

You're nobody's fucking
number two, are you?

I mean, I don't even know
why the hell we went up there.

In the first place.

You know that white man wasn't
gonna see you as no partner.

The fuck you want from me,
tasha?

What you want me to do?

You want me to stay the same
and never change?

It ever occur to you I ain't
the same street nigger.

You married anymore?

[cell phone buzzes]

Who's that?

Kanan.

Hmph.

Seems like the same old
ghost to me.

What's up, man?

You ain't gonna like
what I got to say, g.

You was right about rolla.

Little nigger put up 100 thou.

For anybody who could
help link him.

With an out-of-town hitter.

Said he wanted top of the line,

No mistakes, to take down
your whole network.

$100,000.

Yeah, that's
what they're saying.

Damn.

Some of my niggers in here
got connections down in miami.

They said rolla took a trip
down there about a month ago,

Met up with his brothers
down there.

They introduced him
to a latin girl,

Hot piece of ass they said
knows her way around a knife.

Bitch wear these crazy-ass pink
sneakers everywhere she goes,

Don't even take them off
to fuck, man.

That's the chick we've been
looking for, man.

Rolla know he in trouble,

So he already moving around
a little different.

He's hiding out on long island,
some bitch's place.

I know exactly where it is.

Look, k, good looking out, man.

Keep your head up, all right?

All right.

I'm sorry it turned out
like this, g.

One.

Shawn, I need you
to take tasha home.

I got to make a stop.

I said 30 minutes, nomar.

Couldn't wait, huh?

I'm beginning to think
you get lonely without me.

Who's this?

Rolla, boss of
the rock street assholes.

Is he involved with lobos?

There's no way he's got
a blanquito in his crew.

Who might go by ghost?

No.

No white guys in the rsks.

As for lobos, I know rolla
has history with ruiz,

Long-standing shit.

But we're under
strict instructions.

Not to mess with the rsks
if we see them on the streets.

Like a professional courtesy?

Don't antagonize the other
dealers in the network?

I can't see another reason
why ruiz would keep us.

From stomping
these motherfuckers out.

Where can I find this guy?

We went to his last known,
and he wasn't there.

I can find out where he is.

He's got poncho keeping tabs
on everybody he's pissed at,

Just in case.

I'll call him.

Don't ask too much.

I won't.

Gracias, nomar.

Make the call.

[knocks on door]

Try calling my cell.

What?

Call my cell.

[groans]

You're scaring me, tommy.

What's going on?

You can tell me.

[laughs]

James was supposed to.

Do something for me tonight.

Son of a bitch
better do it tonight.

Do you think he's gonna do it?

No.

We used to do everything
together, side-by-side.

Something's changed.

He ain't the same.

You ever think
you don't need him anymore?

I mean, if you don't trust him
to do this thing tonight...

If I can't trust him?

Then I don't know.

I don't fucking know.

If you can't trust him, baby,
you can trust me.

Come here.

As soon as you get back
with my food,

I'll put this long nine on you.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

Better hurry up
with my food, yo.

[muttering]

I'd offer you a drink,

But we both know
you won't take it.

They say we're gonna get
ten inches tonight.

That what they say, huh?

Well, then we should probably
get to it then.

You don't want to know why?

We here now.

Knowing why ain't gonna
make no nevermind.

I know it's been you hitting
us from the inside, rolla,

Smiling in my face
the whole fucking time, man.

You actually said that shit
like you truly believe it.

I do.

No, you don't.

'cause if you did, my black ass.

Wouldn't even got a chance
to sit down.

I'm offering you
a chance to come clean.

No, that ain't it.

You're offering me
a chance to convince you.

Okay, I'll play along.

So you're saying
I hit your shipment.

I killed fat ass anibal.

I stabbed ruiz.

And what else I do?

A few weeks ago,

You had a courier of mine
jumped, a woman.

Oh, damn.

I've been a busy motherfucker.

And we know about
the hitter you hired,

A female, latina.

A bitch?

Me?

That's a tall tale, g.

Don't fuck with me, boy.

Ruiz is down to go to war.

Tommy is convinced.

Don't fuck with me.

Heard you went through
your brothers in miami.

To hire the chick.

Yeah, I went to miami, sure,

And got a goddamn tan.

I didn't get no hitter
in a skirt.

Look me in the eyes like a man.

Tell me you did it.

Just own the shit.

I can't do it, captain.

I get ruiz.

Yeah, his bitch ass go bye-bye,

I'm gonna be on them corners,
no doubt.

And eminem, well, shit,

We both know
he ain't never liked me.

But neither of them bring you
to shooting a boy.

You raised from the streets,
do they?

It's kanan, right?

You and that crazy motherfucker.

Still tight
after all these years.

Shit, you trust him
more than anybody, even tommy.

The question is, g,

What the fuck do he gain from
pointing you in my direction?

He don't gain
a motherfucking anything.

He's my friend.

I'm your friend.

I am your friend.

Said we're supposed to get
ten inches tonight, huh?

[gunshots]

Still pretty warm.

- Carajo.
- Yeah.

I'll call nypd.

Maybe the killer's
still in the area.

Thanks, girl.

So he wasn't
prince charming after all.

Unless princey
was a two-timing nigger.

Have you confronted
his worthless ass?

Keisha, you don't...

He's the one who married you,

Put your name on every bill,
on every paper.

You have his kids,
this fancy penthouse,

His bank accounts.

Take it all, "t."

Divorce his ass.

And take every last bit of it.

She ain't white, is she?

'cause I could see a brother
like ghost going that way.

No, she ain't white.

Ain't black, either.

Nothing like me at all.

Sorry you're going
through this, "t."

But you got to take
care of yourself.

Ghost took back his loyalty.

So now it's time
for you to do the same.

[knocks on door]

[sniffs]

All hail
the goddamn conquering hero.

The redhead lives here now?

Don't worry about her.

She's out cold.

So can we scratch our friend
off the christmas list?

You did what needed
to be done, g.

I'm going home, man.

It's a good day's work, brother.

Yeah.

How long have you been here?

I was supposed to go home.

The truth is, my place doesn't
feel much like home anymore.

Sorry I stood you up.

How was stern's?

I should've taken you.

Don't say that.

We're not dating.

We're not a couple.

We're just two stupid kids
playing house,

Trying to wrap our hands
around a fantasy.

I missed one night, angie.

You miss every night.

I need you to hear me.

I want to change my life
for you.

I don't want to
break up your marriage.

That's not the person
I ever thought I would be.

So this is on you now, jamie.

If you are telling me
that this, us, is gonna happen,

Then it has to happen,

Because I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

If you don't come through.

I'll make it happen.

Just say you love me.

Jamie.

Say it.

I love you, okay?

[buzzer sounds]

Rolla's dead.

[laughs]

Ghost, you dumb motherfucker.

Anybody know he did it?

Not yet.

Well, we know two things.

One, ghost trusts me.

And two, he's all alone now,

Just got tommy.

And that boy way too dumb
to see what's coming.

It's so much better
that you fucked up,

And ruiz lived.

He gonna come
looking for protection.

When I come calling.

You owe me money.

100k.

And you owe me bodies.

But I'm gonna give you
another chance to get it done.

I'll pay full freight.

Oh, and, honey, you're gonna
need to get you some new shoes.

Look.

You make sure my son ain't there.

When you do it, neither, right?

Right.

When? I'll give you the signal.

I want ghost dead
before I get out.

Mm.
