Previously on power...

Angela:
When nomar was dying,
he told me who stabbed him.

Tommy:
Angela, a federal
prosecutor.

A goddamn
united states attorney.

I know about you
and your track record
on this lobos case.

You're not only no longer
leading the lobos task force,
you're not on it at all.

Angela, there was a shooting
tonight at the club.

Oh, my god,
jamie, are you--
i'm okay.

What if that bullet
was meant for you?

Kanan: With ghost alive,
the best way for me

To approach this is
to attack from the inside.

And i got a man already
planted in the organization.

My son, he'll tell me
anything i want to know.

The shooter?
I called some friends
in miami.

Sent them a picture of this.

Make sure you look
at more than miami, julito.

She's got to have some kind
of connection locally,

Someone with resources.

The fuck your friends?
Okay.

I can give you
your money.

But she ran.
I don't know
where she is.

Tommy, where
the fuck are you, man?
A lot of shit popping off.

It's about holly.
She got shot.

It's nice you could make

You leaving me
already, beautiful?

I only been an hour.

Make me feel
like a booty call.

You're not a booty call.

I left you 100
on the dresser.

Only 100?

[ laughs ]
i'm insulted. Ouch.

Seriously,
where you headed?

Something special
happening at work?

No, not at all.
I'm going for a run.

I got to keep this
all tight for you, right?

You're perfect.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

That's sweet.

But i'm not getting back
into bed with you.

[ groans ]

¶ when i say so,
everybody say something ¶

¶ when i say go,
everybody move something ¶

¶ push 'em in, push 'em out,

¶ push 'em in, push 'em out,
push 'em in, push 'em out ¶

¶ why you acting like winners
think they're hot shit? ¶

¶ every time
i touch me a mike... ¶

Hey.

All right.
Well, it's nice
to see you out here.

You haven't been
out here in a while.

Yeah, i missed it.

Helps me sort things out.
Oh, yeah.

Look, i know mike said
you can't talk about lobos,

But, i mean, he's not gonna
find out out here, right?

I'm fantastic, angela.
Thank you for asking. Jesus.

Greg, i'm sorry.

How long are you
going to be mad at me?

Mea culpa, okay?

I mean, can we
get past it?

So where you want me
to take you, uncle g?

Wait right here.
I'll tell you when to go.

Ghost:
Quantico.

That motherfucker's fbi.

I'd rather do--
[ phone rings ]

Oh, just a sec.
Okay.

This is angela valdes.
I can't take--

So come on, tell me.
What?

You guys getting
close to anything?

Yeah, we're making
some headway.

And that's basically
all i'm gonna say.

Angie, i want to see
you again this week.

So leave the key
with your doorman

And i'll come over
and i'll cook dinner
for you, okay?

See you soon.

I promise i won't
ask you anything else

About mike
or saxe or lobos

If you beat me
to 86th street.

Fuck!

Let's go, shawn.

All right,
so soldados picked up.

Tainos got
the carriers out.

But we're gonna need
the rsks

Or somebody else on board
if we're gonna make
a serious dent here.

Any news on the shooter?
Give me something, julito.

I put word out
to my miami connect.

I'm gonna hit you
as soon as i find out.

I just got in
from ibiza.

It's cocktail hour there.

Forgive me
for celebrating.

It's just so lovely that
we're going to be spending
so much time together.

I didn't agree
to anything yet.

You own the building,
not the club.

Yes, for now that's true.

But i think it's in
your best interest

If you allow me
to absorb truth
as part of my brand.

I'll buy in,
become your partner,

And since i own
the building,

There goes that
pesky rent cost.

Then there's all
the other benefits.

Bigger budgets for parties.
Access to my guest lists.

My relationship
with the media.

My expertise.

It's the partnership
you always wanted.

Except, you know,
technically i would
be in charge.

What do you want from me

In exchange
for your generosity?

You'll run the place
just like you did when
you owned it outright.

You know, what you do

With the music
and the mix of people.

Except now you'll report
directly to me.

Mmm, simon.

Or i can terminate
your lease

And you can take
the truth name

And find another space,
build it out,

Get it permitted
if you have the money
to do that.

But i think we both
know that you don't.

Okay.
I'll work for you.

But i want to know exactly
how and when to buy you out.

The terms of your freedom?

Yes. Yes, simon.
The terms of my freedom.

You get this place
running at 20% profit,
i'll give you a number.

And if i have that number?

Cash.
No financing.

Banks are so tedious.

So if i have
your number, cash,

You're telling me
you'll sell your stake
back to me, no bullshit?

No bullshit.

How come
i don't believe you?

I think
it's a cultural thing.

To truth.

To truth.

[ phone vibrating ]

Are we done here, sir?

Oh, yes.
Go ahead, take it.

We'll chat.

So how was your run?

Good, thanks.

You got my message?
Does that sound
good to you?

Of course it does.

I'll leave the key
with the doorman.

But you don't have
to give it back.

It's yours.
You can keep it.

So i can have
a key to your house
permanently?

What if you come home
and i'm sitting on your couch

In my boxers
watching espn?

Are you kidding?
I would love it.

That's exactly
what i want.

Okay, baby, you got it.

When i find
that bitch rolla hired,
i'm gonna kill her.

Twice. Wouldn't even
be going to the hospital
if she hadn't--

We'll find her.
Then we'll confirm
whether rolla did it.

Rolla fucking did it.
I told you that shit.

The shit
you need to confirm

Is what the fuck is up
with angie from the block
turned fucking fed.

The night you saw her,
walk me through it.

Walk me through
the whole night.

Ruiz asked me to ice
one of his soldiers.

Asshole named nomar.

Sticking it to ruiz's
14-year-old kid.

Yeah.

Ruiz swore loyalty
to us for doing it.

Ruiz says motherfucker's
gonna be at this park.

He is, he gets a call,
gets spooked.

Heads out to queens.

I stabbed that motherfucker.
One, two, three.

Went down easy.

Then your girlfriend
comes running in
screaming his name.

Calls for backup.
Says, "this is ausa
angela valdes.

My ci's been stabbed."

So this nomar cat,
he was angela's informant.

What if ruiz makes him,
sends you to kill him,

You get caught,
two birds, one stone?
What?

Ruiz met with
lobos, remember?
Yeah.

To move us the fuck
out of the way, tommy.
I'm just saying.

What if he set you up
with a time and a place,

You get there,
the target fucking
gets a phone call

When you're supposed
to do him,

Then he leads you on
a fucking wild-goose chase

All over town,
you end up right
in angela's lap?

You think he set me up?

We suspected
ruiz's shit before.

He's been playing straight
with us the whole time.

Maybe, man, but look.
You know i don't believe
in coincidences.

And right now, coincidently,
the motherfucker's out

Selling our product
while asking for a goddamn
seat at the table.

And what's worse,
we can't fucking
make a move on him,

'cause we fucking
need him.

We got product collecting
dust in a fucking warehouse.

Rsk is playing hardball.
Still not on board yet.

What should i think?
You tell me.

Maybe we should
talk to drifty
out in jersey.

Yeah, maybe we should.

We're almost here.

Let me just get holly settled
and we'll head out there.

All right?
All right.

You haven't been returning
any of my calls.

You threw me
out of your apartment.

[ speaks spanish ]

You're right.
Look, paz,

This thing with jamie,
it's a mess, okay?

But i love him.
He loves me.

And i need to share
that with you.

I need you to be
a part of my life, too.

I just don't want you
to get hurt.

[ speaking spanish ]

It's just--

Whenever i think
we're getting close
to getting somewhere,

He pulls back.

I sound stupid.

[ speaks spanish ]

[ laughs ]

How was miami?

We didn't go.

But he's making me
dinner tonight.

Is it worth it?
Is it worth putting
your life

On hold for a man
you barely know?

We've known each other
our entire lives.

In a way, we know
each other better than
anyone else ever could.

[ speaking spanish ]

It's easy to love someone

When you only see them
an hour a day.

[ speaking spanish ]

All right, look, tommy,
when you talk to holly,

You got to sell it, okay?
It was just a random shooting.

Some crazy bitch
disgruntled she couldn't
get in the club.

She can't know
it was a hit.

Yeah, i wouldn't
tell her nothing.

You sure about that?

She called me
ghost, tommy.

Where'd she get
that from, tommy?

What the fuck
is that, man?

How could you say anything
about our business?

What the hell
were you thinking?

I've known you
25 fucking years.

You ain't never put
our business in the street.

Holly ain't
the fucking street.

Holly looked me
in my face.

She called me ghost
in a club full of people.

She didn't give a fuck.
That ain't street, tommy?

Okay, i fucked up.
But i can handle my woman.

Just like you
can handle angie.

Tommy, i've known
angie for 20 years.

You've known this girl
30 seconds compared to that.

I know her well enough.
Then know this well enough.

She opened her mouth
to me, tommy, she'll open
her mouth to somebody else.

She says the wrong thing
to the wrong person,

She gets hurt.
You do the math, brother.

I get it.
I got you.

Hey.

How you doing?

I got it.
Beat it.

So here's anibal.

Primera of the hermanos
tainos. Dead.

Here's vibora ruiz,
stabbed and left
to bleed out.

He survived.
But this guy,

Rolla, head of the rock
street killers, was gunned
down in cold blood.

And your working theory
was that lobos' new york
distro was cleaning house?

Something like that.

But the nomar murder
seems off-trend somehow.

I'm not totally convinced
that the nomar arcielo kill
was part of the pattern here.

I know angela valdes
thought so.

It was hard for me
to believe.

Agreed.
Here are three
broken families.

Deaths like these
make people want revenge.

Make them want to talk.
Qdubs, the new head
of rock street,

Was questioned by nypd.
Didn't say a word.

Ruiz is old school.
Knows better.

I was thinking
we should try him.

According to nypd
gang squad,

This man diego martinez,
who goes by the street
name cristobal,

Is the new head
of the tainos.

I'm thinking he might
have something to say.

If we spook cristobal
by bringing him in,

Doesn't that work
against us?

If lobos gets wind,
he could just eliminate

All these witnesses
and then we'll have
nowhere to go.

Our investigation in la
proved that lobos knows
we're after him.

Still got to do business.

Okay, coop,
it's your show.

Knox, go get
cristobal.

[ door opens, closes ]

I made sure
nobody followed me.

[ speaking spanish ]

It's my fault he's dead.

[ speaking spanish ]

You didn't hold the knife.

Do you think putting
the man who killed
nomar in prison

Would make you
feel better?

Knowing that you
made nomar's killer
pay for what he did.

Need more coffee here?

Thank you.

[ speaking spanish ]

No.

[ speaking spanish ]

I can put nomar's killer
in jail for the rest
of his life

If you help me.

I can't.

You mean because
your father ordered it?

I don't want your dad.

I want the man
who stabbed nomar.

[ speaking spanish ]

He would have visited
your father a few times

In the weeks before
nomar's death.

Someone your father
thought was important.

Nomar tried to help me
with this drawing, isabel.

Don't you want to finish
what he started?

Take it slow, baby.
I'm fine. I'm fine.

Take it slow.
I know you're fine.

All right, i'm gonna
put you here.

All right, sit down,
be careful.

Holly, you need
that thing.

Okay, tough guy.

[ sighs ]

What are you doing?

Baby, you shouldn't
be drinking wine with
the painkillers.

[ scoffs ]
that's funny
coming from you.

It's gonna take
a lot more than a bullet,

A few drinks, and a pill
to take me down.

[ bottle cap pops ]

Holly, something i need
to talk to you about.

What is it, tommy?

It can wait.

It's nice
to be here with you.

When i woke up,
i was scared.

I didn't see you.

I'll never let anybody
hurt you again.

You hear me?

I swear.
I promise you that.

Never.

I'll fucking kill
anybody who even
thinks about it.

When i heard about
you getting...

Hurt, i went crazy
like a motherfucker.

Oh.

It all went down
so fast.

What happened?

I don't remember
anything.

Some fucking loser
crazy chick got in the club.

Drugged up.
Took some shots.

Wanted someone to pay
for her not being on the list
or some shit like that.

[ phone vibrating ]

Sorry.

Oh, fuck.

I got to do a run, babe.

Out in jersey.

I'll be back.

The loa speak to me,
fantome.

What the fuck
are you talking about?
Stop speaking haitian.

How does your loa
consult you?

They say there are many
birds on the branches

And i am left
to starve on the dirt.

Yo, you lolos think
you getting a bum deal?

There are many people
who want access
to my network.

I will need to keep
a bigger cut than we have
previously discussed.

35%.

Mm-mmm,
straight up deal.

Pure product.
You cut it as many
ways as you like.

25%, straight quarters.
The best we can offer.

I believe in you.

But the ancestors
say i can do better.

Great. Ghost,
you want a cut on
the fucking lights now?

The ancestors say
you will be back.

[ snapping fingers ]

We can't afford it.
Yeah, no shit.

I'll hit up the serb.

[ drumming continues ]

[ horns honking ]

You're standing funny, man.
I can tell you packing
from a mile away.

[ keys clatter ]

Yeah, well, i ain't
used to it yet.

[ laughs ]

I need you to take me
to your uncle g house.

Good. 'cause i'm sick
of pretending that
you ain't out.

You got some more
pretending to do.

Ghost can't know
i've been out.

Can't know nothing you
know about me, a'ight?

Yeah, i know.

You secure that weapon.

Make sure you don't
plaxico yourself,

Drop the shit
and get shot out here.

[ laughs ]

So how's your boy doing?

Ugh. Tommy moved
holly into his place.

[ laughs ]
tommy playing nursemaid?

I never thought
i'd see that.

And what's worse
is this fool

Told this girl
about our business.

She called me ghost.

That basic bitch.

You know, tommy's a fool
for gapping off.

We got to control her, t.
You know, keep her safe.

Make her feel like
she's on the inside,

Like she can turn to us
if something goes wrong.

I'm gonna tell you
something else.

She ain't gonna
buy it from me.

All right.
I'll talk to her.

[ elevator bell dings ]
thanks, t.

What's up, uncle g?

Shawn, what up?

Hey.
What's up, g?
Family back in the house.

[ laughs ]

What the hell?

Kanan motherfucking stark
in my goddamn living room.

What you do, break out?
Nah, man.

I walked out legal.
All done.

I thought you had
a year left.

Good behavior.
Good behavior?

Tasha, am i seeing things?
Mm-mmm.

I can't believe
you here.

Me either, g.
10 years is a long time.

It's good to see
you, kanan.

Don't he look good?
You haven't changed at all.

Hi. You did.

You were just a little kid
when i went in.

Look like you filled out
in all the right places.

Hey, man.
My bad, g.

I ain't been around
a lot of women in a while.

It's all hood, man.
Shawn, why didn't you tell us
your pops was getting out?

I didn't know.
I didn't give him no warning.

They just told me
yesterday.

You want to, you know--
you want to crash?

You need a place to stay?
We got you, man.

We got plenty of room.
I'm good, man.

You did enough for me
on the inside.

I just hope i get
a chance to pay you back.

Come on,
least i could do.

Damn.

Y'all living like george
and weezie for real.

Look at this.

Mm-mmm, no.
What--?

You knew he was
gonna do it.

Mm-hmm.
Damn.

Y'all did better without me

Than y'all would have did
with me on the street.

I hope tasha hurry up
with that grub, man.

I know she burn like
a motherfucker, right?

Come on, man,
you know she got you.

You remember she can cook?
I'm a lucky man, k.

You are. Shawn told me about
that shit that went on at
the club the other night.

You could be a dead man.

Yeah, that's some
shit, ain't it?
Yeah.

And the fucked-up thing
is rolla was already dead
before the hitter showed.

It makes me wonder
whether rolla even
ordered the hit, man.

That's bullshit.

He could have ordered
that call before he took
the bullet.

I don't know, man.

Man, why you acting like
you so surprised, man?

You raised rolla.
You wrote the blueprint
for his moves, man.

Why wouldn't he want
to take out the boss?

It's the same shit
you did to breeze.

Living large
up in this penthouse

Done made you
lose your mind
or some shit, man?

Come on, man,
ain't no friends
out here on these streets.

Niggas is hungry looking
for their next meal.

They wanna take it
from you.

All of them.
Rolla, too.

You know when a nigga wants
something a nigga got,

That nigga want you dead.

You worried about
that hitter coming back?

'cause i can
make a few calls.
I got some connects.

We'll find the bitch, man.
No, i already covered it.

You know, got somebody
out there looking for her, k.

All right,
well, i'm here.

Just say the word.
I appreciate it, man.

All that money
you put on my books,
i feel like i owe you, man.

Come on, man,
i already told you.
It's the least i could do.

I heard the fucking news.
Kanan: Oh, man.

Welcome back, bro.
Look at this nigga.

[ both laugh ]

Tommy:
Shit, look who it is,
motherfucker.

Damn, you look good, k.

Kanan:
Your cracker ass
got big as shit.

I'm a late bloomer.
You still crazy?

You better believe it,
motherfucker.

Look at this.
How's business?

It's not so good.
We got some problems
with the rsk.

Hey, man, we can talk about
business anytime, all right?
K just got out, man.

We got to take care
of him high style, right?
We gonna throw him a party.

Tommy, tell him
what we gonna do.
Now you talking.

We're gonna throw you
one with the biggest asses
you have ever seen.

That's still
your shit, right?
Damn straight.

[ laughs ]

But listen, i gotta get going.
Make a few stops and shit.

I just went
to go see my moms,
came straight here.

All right, man.

Stay in touch.

[ coughing ]

Whoa, whoa!

Time's up, motherfucker.
Where's your bitch?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Gotta find her first.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Listen! Listen!

I got people looking for her.
I gotta find her first.

Look, just listen,
all right?

Look, i can't get
a location on her, man.

She hasn't
answered her phone.
No one's seen her.

It's like she fucking
disappeared.

The problem is
if somebody finds you,

What guarantees me
you gonna tell them
the same story?

[ crying ]
just give me a chance.

You gonna cry like a bitch,
i'm gonna make you suck
it like one.

Open your mouth.
Open your fucking mouth.

Open your mouth!

[ gags ]

Don't act like
it's your first time.

I just left a bunch of punks
like you in the joint.

[ sobbing ]
i'll do anything you want.

Please, i have
a family, man.

I have little kids.

You should have tried
harder to find her.

Fucking punk.

[ gunshot ]

I don't give a fuck
who your connect is.

I'll give you
a better price.

Make you money.

Some things are worth
more than money.

Oh, yeah?
Like what?

Like my life.

My children's lives.

Milan would not take
my defecting easily.

You scared of this
motherfucker?

[ speaks serbian ]
what?

Milan makes people
into fucking cevapi.

It's grinded meat
with tomatoes.

He's like cannibal.

I will not
betray him, tommy.

[ sighs ]

Remind me not to eat
at this fucking joint.

[ beeps ]

Tommy:
Holly, baby.

I got to be out of town
for a few days.

I'll call you,
but i don't know when.

I love you, okay?

I love you, holly.

[ beeps ]

Tommy:
Hey, holl, i know you
don't recognize this number,

But could you call me back
as soon as you get this?

I need you
to come meet me
outside the city.

I'll explain
when you get here.

[ beeps ]

Julio:
That motherfucker
was fresh.

Talking about
a day or less.

She probably did it.
Make sure we couldn't
find her.

Ghost:
That would mean she was
still in town yesterday

And i ain't buying that.
I think the bitch
is long gone.

Yeah, well, either way,
the trail is cold.

I still got my people
looking for her in miami.
Nothing yet.

Well, keep us
fucking posted.

In the meantime,
there's this to deal with.

Shit. When lobos said
twice the product...

More than that.
We need more help
moving it, man.

Drifty's fucking price
is too high.

We got to dig
in our pockets
to make ends meet.

What happened
with the serb?

It's a no-go.
He won't drop his connect.

He said the motherfucker
eats people.

Yeah, i heard of that guy.
Yeah, i ain't fucking with him.

Well, for now,
i guess neither are we.

Still nothing
from qdubs? Rsks?

Neither of them.
As long as ruiz is
on board, they aren't.

You think we can get
the tainos to move
more weight?

Cristobal is young,
he's hungry.

I could make that happen.
I'll set up a meet.

Tasha, this is so nice.

You didn't have
to do all this.

Well, lord knows
you can't cook in
your condition.

And we all know
tommy can't cook
a can of soup.

Okay?

How are you feeling?

[ groans ]
okay, i guess.

On the mend.
Good.

We wanted you to get
the best doctors.

The best everything.

You know, my husband,
he paid all your
medical bills,

So you're free and clear.

You don't owe
the hospital a penny.

As an employee of truth,
i was covered,

But i thank you
for your generosity.

Look, you're with tommy.

That means
you're family, okay?

So anything that
happened before now,

It's all in the past.

I appreciate that.

I know tommy wants us
all to get along.

I think everyone
wants that.

Tasha, what happened
that night at the club?

I know you weren't there.
Did james tell you?

Same story as on the news.

Some crazed, drugged-up girl
wanted to get revenge
for not getting in.

You know how it is.

Let me give you
my cell

Just in case
you need anything.

I'm a big girl.
I can take care of myself.

I know.

I actually think
you and i are more alike

Than i originally thought.

I think so, too.

Hmm.

[ elevator bell dings ]

You know, it was nice of you
to go see tommy's girl.

She belongs with tommy.
She's family.

How you doing?

Shawn, just talk.
What do you want to know?

I want to know
how you are.

I want to know
if we could talk
sometime.

[ sighs ]

Look, shawn,

I think i made
a mistake with you.

I mean, you know
what i'm talking about.

I was a little emotional
and i said

And did some things
that you may have
misunderstood.

Misunderstood?

Ghost and i are in
a really good place
right now.

I just don't want you
to be confused.

[ phone vibrating ]
yeah, no--

Oh, i'm sorry.
I've gotta take this.
This is important.

Hey, keisha.
Mm-hmm.

I told you kadeem
was trippin'.

You need to leave
his broke ass alone.

The place already looks
better since you entered
the front door, james.

Hmm. What's this?

I'm sending you
on a little trip
for the weekend.

You like miami, right?

I need you to get
these contracts
signed for me.

Why can't you get
your lawyers to send
these directly?

I'm all about
the human touch.

And i think you have
the right personality,

Charm, muscle
to convince anyone to do
what you want them to do.

You're saying it's gonna
be hard to convince them.

I'm saying you're
the right man for the job.

Just tell them how much
you love working with me

And what
a great partner i am.
That should do it.

You can do that, right?

Right.

Mr. Kantos.
I guess i shouldn't be
surprised to see you here.

You two
are quite the pair.

Good to see you
again, mr. Stern.

So long, james.

Be sure to come back
from miami with a tan.

Miami?

As his errand boy.

Look, we're officially
back to work.

I want you to get me
lincoln center's angels list

And the contributor names
to wbls immediately.

Those lists don't seem
to go together.

Well, i'm building the best
night out in new york.

I want the uptown crowd
with the downtown crowd.

I want park avenue money
and the bodega owners
partying together.

I want the rich,
the famous, and the freaks.

Don't you ever forget,
kantos, the famous want
to be entertained, too.

Maybe you should get that
approved by stern first.

Stern doesn't know
what the fuck he wants
until you give it to him.

I'm making stern
all the money he wants

While getting
my fucking club back

And shoving my foot
up his ass.

You good with that?

Sure thing, boss.

Hmm.

Okay, how do you
want me to go at him?

I don't want you
to do anything at all.

What are the charges?

[ scoffs ]
we both know
what you do.

But i'm not here
to talk about you.

I want your connect,
felipe lobos.

Who?

The man who's
probably responsible

For the death
of your brother anibal.

Ah, i should thank him.

Gave me a promotion.

I don't care
about your street-level
drug bullshit.

I want the source.

You help me,
i'll take out
your competition.

Arrest every ddp
i can find.

You mean like you
motherfuckers did
to whitey bulger?

What, i can't watch
the history channel?

Then you get it.
Quid pro quo.

You help me,
i help you.

[ door opens ]

Like i said, man,
i don't know a felipe lobos.

Fine.
Where do you get
your supply from?

Your distro,
i'll talk to him.

Let's say i have some idea
what you're talking about.

Let's say i did have
a distro.

Why would i give
him to you?

Hmm?

He goes out,
where do i get my drugs?

You're not gonna
get those for me,
too, right?

Huh?

Anibal had his own way
of doing shit.

Under me, the tainos
are a community organization.

Speaking of which,
i've gotta get back
to my community.

So unless you're actually
going to charge me...

Hmm, fine.

But this isn't the last
time we're going to talk,
cristobal.

[ speaks spanish ]

[ laughs ]

I know you said
you didn't know anything,

But, you know,
i was just wondering

If you ever heard
of a white guy distro.

Goes by the name ghost.

White guy named ghost?

Mm-hmm.
[ laughs ]

That's like
a fucking cartoon.

Get out.

Okay.

[ knocks on door ]

Where you been, bro?
I've been looking
all over for you.

Had to go out of town
for a while.

Caught some
unexpected heat.

From that favor
i asked you to do?

I'm sorry about that.

It's time for you
to do a favor for me
in return.

I need you to make good
with qdubs.

Fresh start.

I ain't bowing and scraping
to those low-life rsks.

It's payback time
and i'm here to collect.

You said we was
brothers for life.

Unless that was bullshit.

We are, tomas,
but the rsks paid
that bitch to stab me.

You know it
and i know it.

And we killed rolla.
So you got your revenge.

You need to make
peace with qdubs.

We need to get right.
We need everybody on board.

And as long as there's
bad blood between y'all,

We got problems
selling our shit.

I killed nomar, ruiz.

I spilled his blood
for you.

Now you do this for me.

[ knocks on door ]
darryl: Hey.

We ran the sketch
through facial recognition

And i must say
i think our bad guy
is pretty hot.

I'm just saying.
[ laughs ]

Here are all the possible
matches for the sketch.

Great. Thanks.
You're welcome.

Tommy?

Greg.

[ knocks ]

Yeah?
Get in here.

[ groans ]

I have a sketch
of the person who
killed nomar,

But i need to hear
the tapes to verify
my instincts.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down.

Just run that by me again
in english, please.

There were eight matches
from the facial recognition
cross-match

And one of them
was a guy i went
to high school with.

If i can just hear
the tapes, i can tell
if it's his voice.

How did you finish
the sketch?

Isabel ruiz.

Well, see, that's crazy,
because she's a minor, right?

And i know you couldn't
get permission from ruiz,

So did you follow
victim-witness protocols?

Counseling, protection.

She can call me
anytime she needs me,
day or night.

Right, 'cause that
worked out for nomar, right?

I can't believe
you're still pursuing this.

No. No. No.

I will not help you.
Mike said no.

You need to let it go
before you get fired.

Just do the work
mike put you on.

That's bullshit work
and you know it.

Right.

You would get me the tapes
if i was still fucking you.

[ chuckles ]

You're right, yeah.
I probably would, angela.

But, see,
we're not still fucking,
so cut the shit.

[ sighs ]

[ sighs ]

What was the name
of your stupid dog?

Grace.

[ beeps ]

Bingo.

Tommy:
I'm gonna find that girl

And cancel christmas
on her ass.

I'm gonna find
that girl and cancel
christmas on her ass.

She canceled
christmas on your boy
with her quickness.

[ door opens ]

Hey, smells great.

Looks good, too.

Jamie?

Jamie?

Hey, baby.
Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So i'm opening truth
tomorrow night,

But in order to do it,
i had to agree to work
for stern

As his errand boy
for a while.

I understand that.

I got humiliated at work,
too, by my new boss.

He assigned me
to a new team.

Work i don't care about.

Well, stern
is sending me to miami
to sign contracts.

I want you
to come with me.

With all that's going on
with work right now,

I don't know
if i can get time off.

Angie, this was
our dream.

We said
we'd wake up in miami
together, remember?

And i want to go, i do.

I just can't say for sure.

[ distant siren blaring ]

[ speaking spanish ]

Let's just make
this easy, okay?

Both go home,

No problems, right?

[ speaking spanish ]

You're so quiet.

Something up?

No, nothing, really.

Just work stuff.

Want to talk about
what's going on at work?

No, not really.

It wouldn't help.

Jamie, i'm sorry.

You made such
a nice meal.

You're great.
[ sighs ]

It's just-- it's been
such a long day.

Is it okay
if we don't tonight?

I think i need
to go to bed alone.

Angela doesn't have
anything on us.

No files, wiretaps,
phone records.

Nothing.
You sure?

I just came
from her apartment.

I did find some
good news, though.

What the fuck
does that mean?

Well, what it means
is i found a file

On nomar and i found
his phone.

He was a ci working
for her, yes.

Nothing to do with us.

So ruiz was telling
the truth about nomar,

Which means
that we can trust ruiz.

So if ruiz makes good
with the rsks...

And everything
holds with drifty,

Then we might just
pull this shit off.

¶ god damn,

What's up, man?
Enough about the party.

Nah, uh.

I'm getting restless, man.
I'm ready to work.

See, i thought you were
trying to go legit.

I told tommy,
i said, "yo, he's trying
to become a citizen."

Wear a suit and tie.
The whole thing. What's up?

Fuck, i'm supposed to work
on wall street or some shit?

I ain't built that way, man.
I'm ready to hustle.

Yeah, well, we got
a lot going on.

And we could use
your help on all of it.

We want you back
on the team.

Right, ghost?
Right, right.

That's good to hear, man.
Now get back out there, k.

Enjoy it.
You see that shit?
It's all paid for.

Paid for?
That shit is paid for.

¶ drop it down on it ¶

¶ made me get a couple bands,
drop it down on it... ¶

We got to bring kanan
along slowly.

You feel me, tommy?

Been out of the game
for a minute, man, come on.

Let him catch up to speed.
What the fuck?

Yo, ghost,
it's kanan.

He practically
raised us.

Look, time inside
changes people.

We got to get
to know him again.

Get the fuck
outta here.

Oh, shit.

[ moans ]

Oh, shit. My bad.

I'm gonna be outside.
No, motherfucker.
Come here.

I need you-- hold on--
i need you to give me a ride.

Yeah, dad, no,
i got you, but i'm gonna
be outside, okay?

I'm gonna be done
in a minute. Ooh!

Oh, damn, girl.

Trying to suck my whole
motherfucking dick.

[ laughs ]

Shorty got skills.

Go ahead.
It's you.

Get in there.

No, dad, i'm good.
We can just get up
outta here.

Man, go ahead, man.

Should be a while, too.
I'm gonna wait on you.
Go ahead.

Boy, if you don't
get in there...

I want this place
in shape for tonight.

Come on,
let's get on it.

Looking good in here.

Simon.

I always like
seeing you,

But i'm okay without
adult supervision.

Well, about that.

There's been
a slight change

In our arrangement
that just couldn't
be helped.

I wanted to come down
and tell you face-to-face.

What kind of change
you talking about?

Instead of reporting
directly to me,

You'll be reporting
to the new general manager.

We had a deal.
True.

But you have
to stay fluid in
the nightclub business.

You know that.
There's no need
to worry, james.

I think you will like
the new gm.

Hey, boss.

You don't have to call
him that anymore.

Angie, it's jamie.

I sent you a text,
i didn't hear back.

Just wondering if you're
gonna be on that plane
to miami with me tonight.

Call me back.

[ phone vibrates ]

Hello?
Angela valdes.

Hey, sweetie,
it's darryl.

So james st. Patrick
is clean.

He has no criminal record.

Thank you.

[ phone chimes ]

What's going on?

Hey, tash.
I have to go to miami.

Alone?

Yeah.

I got some business
i got to do for stern.

I'm not seeing her anymore.
This is just business.

I'm not taking angela.

Hey.

The girl who shot
up the club, tash,
she's in miami.

I'm going to take care
of that situation by myself.

Use this stern business
as a cover.

Well, whatever you need
to get it done...

Mm-hmm.

...I'm here
to support you,
all right?

I got you.

Come here.

[ breathing heavily ]

Come here.

How you doing, baby?

You didn't overdo it,
did you?

No, haven't done
much at all.

Tasha brought
some food over.

Damn, it's like
christmas.

I asked her what happened
that night at the club.

You know what's funny?

She had the same
exact story as you.

Yeah, 'cause that's
what happened.

And then i got my cell

And i listened
to the messages
you left me.

You were scared,
tommy.

And you didn't know
that i was hurt.

Tommy, if you're gonna
hide stuff from me,

I'm out.

I'm not gonna play house.

I'm all in or nothing.

The cunt was trying
to hit ghost.

We had problems
with people taking
shots at us,

But it's all
under control now.

The guy that ordered
the hit is gone.

Why did you lie to me
in the first place?

Ghost asked you
to lie, didn't he?

Yes, he did.

Because you fucking
looked at him in his face

And called him ghost.
No, i--

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I told you that shit
in confidence, holly.

And then you went straight
to the motherfucker

And gapped off
like it was nothing.
How could you do that?

I told him i was quitting.

Because you told me to.

He got rough
with me.

He grabbed me
and so i thought
of the first thing

That i could think of
to get him to stop.

You're gonna leave now,
too, aren't you?

Told you,
everyone leaves me.

No.

I ain't going nowhere.

I'm really uncomfortable
with the way that went
down with james.

Oh, come on.
The look on his face
was priceless.

I know you respect james,
like him even.

That's not going
to get in the way of you
doing your job, right?

No, sir.
Of course not.

Good. He can never
reach 20% profit.

Do what you have
to do to make sure
it never happens.

I'm not sure about that.

Josh, we talked about this.

We keep james,
we learn his tricks,

Then send him
on his merry way.

Then i will give you truth.
Your own club.

Like your past
was washed away.

Isn't that what you want?

No, tommy, i'm going

It's a perfect cover.
Plus you got to stay here
and see about holly, right?

Yo, man, look,
about holly.

I checked her ass
about that ghost shit.

It won't happen again.

Good.

Be safe, man.

You, too,
motherfucker.

[ dialing ]

Let me ask you something.
How did stern know

I was planning to open
a truth in miami?

I thought so.

Is that tommy over there?

He's not welcome
in the club.

Stern doesn't want
that element inside.

Stern has you
on a tight leash, huh?

I see he has you
trained well already.

Let's go inside,
boss man.

Here's your bag.
Yep.

All right.
All right.

Have a good trip,

Did you know your father
was getting out of jail?

No.

No, i was just
