Original subtitles

So who's got the power in this city?

The Falcones?

Well, Sofia's the last of them.

She don't even like her fuckin' name.

Maronis?

Sure, Sal's out of Blackgate

but his family's still fuckin' ash.

So who's got the power, huh?

That's what the streets are asking.

But down here, we know.

We started with two buckets, two fucking buckets. That's it.

And now, it's grown into an underground empire.

Cookin' and sellin' Bliss under our label.

You know how many boroughs there are in Gotham?

Each one run by a different crew.

All of them looking for a way to get theirs.

The more drugs we smuggle

the more cash we bring in.

That's food on the table and clothes on your backs, fellas.

And, look, this ain't the game you're used to.

I get it. You won't see any trouble.

As long as your mouths stay shut, you understand?

Silence is golden, loose lips, and all that shit.

Remember, if somebody asks you where you got this cash...

- I'd say construction. - Construction.

We're all in construction.

He has returned.

- Well, what did Donny Boy say? - He's stoked.

Sullivans moving our product or what?

They said they could sell Bliss as fast as we can make it.

Fucking right, they can. Show me what you got.

Kid, kid, not bad.

Make a businessman outta you yet.

If we can get a couple more gangs on board, we're fucking set.

Check this out.

We finally got the line cleared to Burnley, right?

Means we can supply the Massive now, too.

- Oh, that's awesome. - Look. Boom...

Yeah, but there's a lot bad blood

between them and the Odessa Mob, right?

All these gangs, they fucking hate each other.

So we gotta make sure that nobody advertises that we're...

You know, we're datin' around. All right?

Fuck this.

Jesus Christ.

Anyway, Bruno's got Odessa.

I got Nick taking care of the LoBoys.

I even got Link.

He's hittin' me up, saying Zhao might wanna play ball

now he sees all the money we got comin' in.

- Oh, really? - Yeah, greedy fuck.

But the Triads, they got the connects to take our operation international.

It's a whole different sport, kid.

Okay, that's where all the money's at.

Hey, Zeke.

Zeke!

Where are we at with the power?

These gennies, they ain't gonna hold us much longer.

I'm working on it, Boss.

But City Hall's rationing electricity

sending it all to the rich neighborhoods.

Of course, they are, fucking pricks.

All right, just keep trying.

Good, fellas?

Oz...

- When I made that drop - Yeah?

Someone had eyes on the Sullivans.

- What do you mean? - I think it was probably one of...

- Sal or Sofia's guys. - Yeah?

He tried to follow me.

- He see you go underground? - No, no.

- You sure? - Positive.

All right, as long as we stay sharp and duck 'em in the tunnels

these Maroni-Gigante- Whatever-the-Fucks

they can sniff around all they want.

They're so busy with their noses up

they'll never think to look down.

But you and me...

Look around, look at what we got, kid.

The good people of Crown Point

hard at work, right?

Protectin' us.

Keeping this whole fucking thing quiet.

We got their loyalty.

And we got their love.

You know why?

Because we pay 'em.

You know how meaningful that is, Vic?

To be the guy in the neighborhood who takes care of people?

They're gonna tell stories about us one day, kid.

You think?

I fucking know it.

Victor Aguilar.

Oswald Cobb.

Yeah.

Our names are gonna live forever.

You're doing it again.

You're scrutinizing.

I'm admiring you.

Are you hurt?

I deserve it.

Bored with me already?

I have work.

When you find Oz

feel free to take advantage of my expertise.

Dom will see you out.

You know, fugitives really shouldn't leave their rooms.

I can't believe you opened that.

What? It was just gathering dust.

Just like your father.

Do you want this chopped?

Sure.

Leo spotted Oz's driver delivering product

in Sullivan territory.

And lost him.

Said he disappeared.

- Just like the others. - Oz is a fucking weed.

He likes the spotlight too much to stay hidden.

Don't use those.

These are better.

I wouldn't have pegged you as a cook.

Well...

Nadia showed me her family recipes.

So I could pass them down.

This is...

khoresh bademjan.

Eggplant, tomatoes, a little meat.

Taj...

liked yogurt on his.

Mangia.

Taj was right.

It is very good with the yogurt.

"Taj was right."

Okay.

So the weed...

The weed is sneaking around the city

without protection.

He's supplying the street with your drug.

And no one's talking.

If he gets more local gangs

- on his side... - No.

He needs the Triads to make waves

and they made a deal with me, not Oz.

Sofia, people buy from whoever's selling.

Oz got that tip from Carmine.

Yeah.

Stings, don't it?

Well, then I think that we just have to make it very clear

that playing with Oz comes at a cost.

The fuck?

Oswald?

Oswald?

The fucking heat's off.

- Yeah, Oz, power's out. - All right, I heard ya.

My hands are freezing.

Still smells fucking great, though, huh?

- Take a look. - Cooked enough.

Kind of reminds me of Paulie's Diner. Don't it, Ma?

If you're gonna keep me cooped up in here like a goddamned POW

the least you could do is let me listen to my music.

Thank you, sweetheart.

- You're a good boy. - Ma.

Yeah, well, Ma, we ain't gonna be here much longer

not with all the cash we got comin' in.

Ain't that right, Vic?

- Vic. - Oh, yeah...

Big money. Yeah, good stuff.

Ma, eat something. Come on. You gotta keep your strength up.

A little bit of food.

Paulie's Diner, huh?

Sticky, plastic menus.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You remember, yeah.

They...

- She ain't lyin'. - They...

So, listen, the local guys you brought in

they're solid, they're tough.

Anyone new, they gotta have little hands.

Did you say "little hands"?

No, I'm fucking serious.

You know? I mean, we can't have all these fat fingers

packin' up our product.

- Takes 'em twice as long. - Okay, I got you.

For Christ's sake, when are you gonna do something, huh?

Whether you like it or not, they're your boys.

They're fuckin' freezing.

- Ma, what are you talking about? - No, no!

If you can't get the heat back on, I'll go to Rex.

- He'll get it done. - Ma, hey... You're confused.

It's all right. Hey, you're just confused.

I ain't Dad. All right? Just snap out of it. Come on.

Hey, you don't have to worry about that, Francis, okay?

'Cause... Jack...

- Jack? - Jack went to pay the bill downtown.

- What are you doin'? - So that's all settled, okay?

Electricity, that's gonna be back on soon.

Jack's downtown? This whole time...

- So he's gonna get it figured out. - Jack's downtown.

Stop it. You're makin' it worse!

- I'm sorry. I thought... - Hey, no...

You don't talk about my brother.

You ain't got no right, you understand?

Okay, Ma. Ma, look at me.

Hey, Ma, look at me.

I'm Oswald.

I ain't Dad, all right?

Jack and Rex, none of 'em are here no more.

It's just you and me.

You got it?

- Yes. - Link.

- Oz. - What's good?

- Mr. Zhao ready to put in or what? - Answer the phone, why don't you?

Link.

Oswald.

I know what's going on.

Slow down. What the hell you talking about?

I'll take care of my music.

Hey, pull up the news.

Oh, Link, come on.

You clean this shit up.

I'll take care of myself. Watch.

Nah, it can't be that bad.

Fuck. Triads are out.

Shit!

Three bodies have been found hanging.

- That's Sullivan territory. - All appear to be young men

- each of them with a severed finger. - The hanging and the pinky?

Jesus, Sofia, pick a fucking lane.

Why these guys? They're just the corner boys.

It's a warning shot.

The fuckin' Mork and Mindy are flexin'.

It means anyone caught with our product gets it.

String of murders comes on the heels of

the escape of Salvatore...

None of those lightweight assholes have the balls

or the muscle to fight back.

Gas leak that left many prominent members

of the Falcone family dead.

This close to a deal with the Triads.

Now, I couldn't give Bliss away if I fucking tried.

Unless...

What if I did?

What if you what?

What if I gave it the fuck away?

Hey, everybody, listen up!

I don't want anybody to be shy tonight.

You drop the product in any diner, any bar

any fuckin' restaurant, gas station. I don't give a fuck.

Anybody who wants it, gets it.

- You understand? Anybody. - Yeah, got it.

These gangs, they've gotta know that Bliss is in their hood

whether they fucking like it or not.

- Yeah. - Look, Sal, Sofia

they know my crew.

They ain't lookin' for you guys.

But we don't take anyone's money?

Nah. That's the beauty of it, Richie.

It ain't about the money, not tonight, anyway.

We're creating demand.

Gonna give every motherfucker in this city a free taste.

All right, no more standing around! Come on!

Let's go, let's go!

Gotta get this shit on the streets.

Hey, yo, Victor.

What's good, man? Where you been?

Hey, Squid, what's up?

Figured you had either bounced or died.

What are you doing back in the Point?

You runnin' out of gas or something?

Yeah, yeah.

Damn! You a sneakerhead now, Victor?

Nah, nah. These are...

These are just B-grade.

B-grade? Come on, man. Don't do me like that.

We go back, right?

Come on. You think I can't see that shit?

Yo, where you getting your money from, Victor?

Because other people in the Point are flush with cash, too

but not from Drops. That shit dried up. So, what is it?

Squid, I'm not a part of any drug...

What?

Squid, I don't know what you're talking about, man.

Oh, come on, man. Don't fucking bullshit me, man.

What about that old lady I saw you with

up by Calvin's the other night?

What's good with her?

I haven't seen her in a while.

Maybe I'll go looking for her. Is that what you want?

Look, I'm offering you my services, Victor.

You want me on your side, right?

So go tell your people I want in

and let's get this motherfucking money.

We cool?

Yo, welcome back to the hood, baby!

Let's get this money, Victor!

Damn it.

We gotta find someone he cares about.

He doesn't.

It's his greatest asset.

I know.

Hey...

Who are they?

His brothers.

They died young.

His mother is dead, too.

I never heard much about his father.

So he's got nothing.

He takes everything from me, and he's got nothing!

Nothing!

Practice your swing.

Hey, Ma.

Ma, you hungry?

Oswald!

Oswald!

- Ma, you all right? - Help!

Don't look at me... don't look!

Jesus, Ma.

Don't look at me.

Ma, what happened?

- Just get me outta here. - Come here.

You all right? Ma.

Ma, the water's fuckin' freezing.

How long you been in here?

Come on, come on. There you go.

Up... There you go.

All right.

- Jesus Christ. - Wait...

- Wait... - Quick.

We been at it all night.

I should've checked on you.

I'm sorry.

All right. Okay, this leg. One leg.

There you go...

There you go. All right, let's go.

Okay, all right. Let's go. Slow...

All right. Come on. You got it.

There you go.

Come on.

- Please, I can't do this. - You're all right.

Oswald, I can't do this.

- I can't do this. - Ma... listen to me.

You're gonna be all right. We just gotta...

We just gotta get you warmed up. That's all.

This thing I got, it's a goddamn dirty thief.

Just keeps taking.

I can't do numbers no more.

I'm seeing things that ain't real.

The boys...

Sometimes, I see 'em.

They look at me like I ain't theirs.

- It breaks my goddamn heart. - I know, Ma.

I ain't gonna live like a goddamn vegetable.

I just ain't gonna do it.

- You understand? - Yeah.

No. What do you mean?

If my mind goes before my body's ready

I need you to help me.

You gotta help me die.

Help you die? Jesus, Ma. You ain't thinking straight.

For now, I am.

I won't be one of those pathetic old broads

droolin', shittin' themselves

staring out at nothin'

with no... no clue what's goin' on

knowing just enough to make it worse.

If I lose my dignity, what else I got, huh?

- I can't do it. - Sure, you can.

Look at me, sweetheart.

Oh, you'll be all right.

I know you will.

You're my brave boy.

But you ain't a fucking dog.

You're my ma. I mean...

You're asking me to do something...

- It ain't natural. - No!

No! Don't you pussy out on me, Oswald, I swear to God.

I have given you everything.

I have given you everything.

Yeah, you have.

Say you'll do it. And mean it.

Because you love me.

Say it.

Say it.

All right.

I'll do it.

- Good. - All right?

Good.

Come on, let's get you dressed. Come on.

On the count of three, okay?

- One, two, three. - Three.

Oswald.

You look gorgeous, Ma.

Powerful.

Like Gilda.

- Hey. - Hey.

Rest of the drops went smooth.

Bliss is all over the streets.

You h-h-hear anything yet?

Nah.

There's something...

We maybe got a... problem.

There's this guy f-f-from the neighborhood.

Everybody calls him Squid.

He's the guy that I boosted your rims for.

Well, look, I thought I could avoid him, but...

He's on me.

Asking questions about us, and...

I don't think he's gonna stop.

This fucking thing.

It's cold in here, right?

It's too fucking cold for Ma.

You know, they don't even know what she's got.

First, it was Parkinson's. Then Alzheimer's.

And now, they're talkin' about some fucking thing called Lewy body.

What the fuck is that, huh?

You know, all these fucking geniuses

they got the diplomas and the machines.

They don't even fuckin' know.

How am I supposed to protect her from something like that?

You're doing the best you can, though.

She knows that.

It's a good thing that she's here with you.

What you were sayin' before...

We got a problem?

No.

No, no. I'm good.

- You sure? - Yep.

Look at that.

City Hall shinin' bright.

Keep an eye out.

All right?

Her name's Eve.

- Sorry. Never seen her. - No.

You sure about that?

Never seen the bitch.

You're a real buzzkill around here, you know?

Roxy.

We met at Apex.

Doubt you remember.

But I might be able to help.

For the right price.

Appreciate your time, Councilman.

Anything for the GCPD.

These days especially.

We need to look out for one another.

- See you next week. - Good night, guys.

Come on! Who is this asshole?

Clunker.

Councilman Hady.

Carmine's guy.

I wrote you a note, you know. You never responded.

You don't wanna be pals with me?

Kinda, you know, hurts my feelings.

- Listen, I paid off my debts. - Yeah, yeah. To Carmine.

Not to me.

Okay.

"Okay"?

What, you think I don't matter? That it?

Then you don't mind too much if I introduce myself

to some of your crooked friends, huh?

- Hey. - Come here...

Hey, stop! Stop!

Or maybe I just talk to the Gazette?

I bet they'd love to see

how you paid your gambling debts with city funds.

You think you can just raw dog the people of Gotham

with an invisible dick? That it?

Shit! Shit! What do you want?

I want you to do your fuckin' job.

That's what I fuckin' want.

City's divertin' power from Crown Point.

Families are livin' in the dark. They're freezin'.

Meanwhile, you go home to your warm fuckpad mansion.

It ain't right.

So you're gonna get the power back on in Crown Point.

You know how much red tape and...

Please stop! I'll do it...! Please stop! Fuck!

- Please stop! Fuck! - All right...

Hey... it's just your nose.

Fuckin' hell. Give me your tie.

Listen to me.

You got till sun up.

And I ain't someone's guy.

My name's Oswald Cobb.

Next time, you won't forget.

Get the fuck outta here.

Jesus. Come on.

You got more room than you think.

Straight back.

Christ.

Donny Boy, glad you called.

What the fuck you think you're doing

dumping your product in my territory?

The fuck you talking about? We had a deal.

You turned your back. What do you expect?

Fuck you! They murdered my boys.

- Put them on display... - You know what?

I ain't talking to you when...

I ain't talking to you when you're like this.

Let's get together. We'll... we'll figure it out face-to-face.

- I know somewhere. - Don't fuck with the Sullivans.

I'm gonna text you the address.

Yo, Victor.

Freezing my fucking dick off out here.

Where your people at?

Right. So that's actually...

what I wanted to talk to you about.

Look, man, I tried. Okay? They're just not...

They're not looking for... more guys right now.

But, look.

I know this is your neighborhood, right?

They know that, respect that, respect you, so...

Yeah.

And, look, man, I can get you more next week.

And...

as soon as something opens up, you know.

We just gotta...

pump the brakes and... take things slow.

But you can get me more next week?

- Right, yeah. - 'Cause I'm already runnin' low.

Shit's crazy. It's going fast.

What, you think you big, Victor?

Think you can pay me off, huh?

You just a kid from the Bricks who can't even steal some rims

thinkin' he's big-time tough guy

'cause he's working with Oz What's-his-fuck.

Yeah, the Wizard of fuckin' Oz.

Nobody sees this guy

but he's out here pulling all these strings.

You know, the word on the street is he's running that new drug, Bliss

and a bunch of heavy-hitters are lookin' for him.

Maybe I should help them out, make some real money.

Or you take me to your boss.

So, what's it gonna be, Victor?

Squid.

Oz...

- h-h-he'll kill you. - Yeah?

Well, take me to that motherfucker right now.

- You think I'm playin' with you? - All right. Okay.

All right... yeah. Okay.

- Yo, lead the way. - Yeah.

We're this way.

See? You a man now, Victor.

Don't gotta make it so hard on yourself.

Look, Squid, he's...

He's not even gonna be... be back for another few hours.

That's good with me.

I'll wait.

Okay, we're underground.

Underground? Shit, you diggin' holes or somethin'?

Oh, fuck.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry...

Why did you make me do that?

You fuck!

Hey.

What? Didn't recognize me?

You don't seem surprised to see me.

I told Roxy to send you up.

Save us both a headache.

Easy money, too.

Drink?

Where is he?

He'd never tell someone like me something like that.

You know Oz as well as I do.

Dressing like this...

is this for you or your clients?

Depends on the situation.

Oz ever seen this version of you?

Couple of times. He doesn't like it.

What does he like?

He's not that complicated.

So...

he's...

the best you've ever had.

What else?

He is...

destined for greatness.

I used to lie to men like that.

But you don't have to anymore.

You have the power now.

You are good at telling people what they wanna hear.

You have a drawer at his place.

You mean something to him.

He won't come for me if that's your plan.

Not that kind of relationship. Okay.

What is it, then?

He pays you, I presume, so...

Can't be love.

Must be nice.

You were born into opportunity, honey

so you can afford to think in black and white.

What I got with Oz

it ain't just one thing.

I know what he is.

A liar, narcissist.

Killer.

But we all got our shit, don't we?

I mean, you certainly got yours.

Nancy Hoffman.

Yolanda Jones.

Those women meant nothing to you.

They were family to me.

You still think I'm the Hangman?

He never told you?

My father killed those women.

Killed my mother.

Oz knew.

He has always known.

Well, he helped cover it up

so that my father could keep on killing women.

He used me.

He let me rot in Arkham

so he could move up.

Kept you in the dark about all that, huh?

Well, I guess if he hadn't

you'd have asked questions about him.

How he knows?

Why...

he would work for a man that murdered your friends?

Oz would never risk that.

It's better for him.

Isn't it? If you fear me.

He said he felt bad for you.

That you were sick.

Well, if that were true, you would've been dead at the door.

But you did come here to kill me, right?

I mean, after all is said and done?

You were his alibi.

You knew.

Not at first.

But, yeah.

So... when you're done here

just leave my girls alone, okay?

That's why you asked me here?

To save them from the Hangman.

But that's not who you are, right?

Your people protected you.

They wouldn't give you up.

Cuts both ways.

They got my back.

I got theirs.

Well, whatever I was born into...

I'll never have that.

Crown Point.

By the zoo.

You deserve your shot.

But where you got that information...

It'll stay between us.

Careful, fellas.

Don't want this spilling, you know.

It'll ruin the surprise. Nick, you're drivin'.

Bruno, I need you to hang back

make sure everything runs smoothly here.

Whatever happens tonight, fellas

we gotta be ready.

Vic, where you been?

Phone's been blowing up nonstop.

Motherfuckers are pissed, but they wanna meet.

This is it.

You good?

What's up with you?

Something with that guy?

You get away clean?

I think so, yeah.

Don't look down. Meet me here.

You done the right thing.

Protected those you care about.

You're strong, kid.

It gets easier.

I want you home tonight.

Dump those clothes.

All right? Clean yourself up.

Get something to eat and rest, all right?

Or you're gonna be a puddle of water tomorrow.

I'm gonna need you. You hear me?

Yeah?

All right.

Well...

Late to my own party.

It's not a good look, I know.

I got a little surprise for you here.

What I'm bringing you tonight is big.

Bigger than Bliss.

It's gonna change the face of the whole city forever.

And it's my gift to all of you.

This a fucking joke?

Relax, Able.

Have a fuckin' beer. Jesus.

You vouched for this man?

That's right, Zhao, he did.

And you're gonna thank him for it.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Gold Summit.

You're all gonna be proud to say you were here tonight, all of you.

Even though I know you hate each other's frigging guts.

I mean, the shit between the Massive and Odessa is legendary.

LoBoys, you gotta scrap with everyone

just to get a bit of respect.

Got the Triads.

Sullivans, oldest crew in town.

But the most hated here among us...

is yours truly

- and not for nothing. - I got three of my guys

strung up 'cause of you.

No... not because of me.

They're dead because the Maronis and Gigantes

got the power to take you out.

You want revenge? What the fuck is stoppin' ya?

They're right over there

across the Elliot Bridge.

A bridge that was built by your ancestors, Donny Boy

but it ain't named Sullivan, huh?

Nah, it's named for the rich crooks

who took credit for your family's hard work.

They run shit. We eat shit.

The sad thing, Donny Boy, is

they don't even know your fucking name!

They don't know none of youse.

But I do.

Sal... Give me a fucking break.

You know Sal bitches and moans

about Carmine stealing his Drops business?

What do you think him and Sofia are gonna do to you, huh?

They'll take your shit, your territories.

That's what's comin'.

Because you mean nothing to 'em.

They don't give a fuck about any of you all.

You know, not even a mile from here

there's a bunch of big-time City Hall fucks.

They're sitting in some fancy private club.

They're drinking orange wine.

They're making crooked deals to benefit them.

And guess what, they can't fucking stand each other either

just like you.

But they're breaking bread because they know

that each of them on their own, they ain't got nothing

but together, those soft-bellied pricks

they run this whole fucking city.

Why the hell not us?

Now, I'm bringing you Bliss.

Yeah, sure, that gives us the extra leg.

But the real power

comes if we've got each other's backs.

Then Sal, Sofia, the old guard

they won't be able to fuckin' touch us.

This man's a fool.

He betrays everyone he works with.

Sofia Gigante.

Alberto Falcone.

There's no code, no class.

The Penguin is a bargain-basement hustler.

He'll do anything, say anything

and everyone here knows it.

Do they, Zhao?

Because here's what I know.

Between us, we got more territory

more manpower than this city's ever seen.

You wanna blow it away? Shit, go ahead.

But I do got a fucking code!

And I'm putting my goddamn life on the line to share it with you.

If we come together right here, right now...

they're gonna talk about this night.

The time that we decided

that it's better to work with the ones we hate

than live under those that don't even know our fucking names!

Nick, give me a beer.

Look, everything you heard about me...

is true, you know?

I stole Sofia's product. I...

I popped Alberto Falcone.

I did it all.

So, fuckin' what?

I hustle. You know, I...

do what it takes.

Because at the end of the day, you know...

I'm just a poor kid from the Eastside

who's got somethin' to fuckin' prove.

Like all of you.

To taking back Gotham!

Oswald! Oswald!

What's happenin'? What's going on?

Hey, Francis, the power's back on.

- Hold on. - What time is it?

- How do I... - No...

Leave it on.

I love this song.

Dance with me, Benny.

You remember.

Don't be shy, sweetheart. Come here.

You're my biscuit.

Yeah, yeah.

One, two...

He did it.

Oz got the power back on.

Oswald did this?

For you.

He did it for you.

Oswald.

My boy!

You did it.

My boy!

Oswald!
