[Ghost] Previously on Power...

Oh, my God!

You were never here.
[in Spanish] Understand?

[screams]

Who the fuck is Tony Teresi?

Teresi is your father.

He left you.
He left us.

This is our chance to
make a difference,

and it starts now.

An opportunity to rebuild
this community,

a community I grew up in,

come on, I can't be
more excited.

That was for Greg.

Still thinking about going to
war with Jimenez?

Are the Serbians on board
with this?

What the fuck are you
questioning me for?

What if I told you
I could deliver

Tommy's entire organization?

He's holding his
primeras as weak.

They don't trust him.

Why should we trust you?

There's this prep school
in Connecticut.

It's called Choate.

We could just get away,
together.

Why do you want to attend
Choate, Tariq?

For a change, I guess.

[phone buzzes]

What's this?

For Van Allen school records.

Go ahead, open it.

You know what I see?

I see the records of a kid
who's smart,

really smart.

But who's had a decline,
both academically and socially

in the last few months.

Well, my dad, he was arrested

for a crime that he didn't
commit.

I struggled.

I admit that, but...

[phone buzzes]

I want to go back to being
the student I was.

A student that got good grades,

a student whose teachers
liked him.

I just need a place to focus
on my work and my future,

and I feel like Choate
is the place.

[Tariq] It's not looking
too good, is it?

Well, actually, son,

the interviewer told me
he's gonna recommend you

for Choate, so...

Looking quite good.

[chuckles]

I'm proud of you, son.

Oh.
I got something to show you.

They finally saying your pops
is innocent.

Finally the truth.

You think Kanan's gonna try
to come after us

because we saw him kill
Jukebox?

Has Kanan reached out to you?

No, but, I mean, aren't you
a little worried

that he might try to kill us

because he thinks you might
snitched on him?

You snitched on him before.

Who told you I snitched
on Kanan?

Jukebox did.

Before you got there.

Kanan knows reporting me to the
police is reporting himself.

I'm guilty; we're guilty
by association.

If he goes down,
we go down.

Got it.

Look, son, I know what

guilt can do to a person.

It eats at you until...

Until you don't know
who you are anymore.

What happened to Jukebox,

it ain't your fault, 'Riq.

I know.

Thanks, Dad.

[in Spanish]
Where's the coffeemaker?

The coffeemaker?

[groans]

The coffeemaker was Jamie's.

I got rid of it.

[whimpers]

You know, you don't need
to stay with me.

I'm okay.

[in Spanish]
You almost got murdered.

But it didn't happen.
It's over.

I don't care.

I'm keeping an eye on you for
at least the rest of the week.

[in Spanish]
I don't know what
I would have done

if something happened to you.

You had no right to use
yourself as bait that way.

I told you,

It was the only way Mike
would confess.

And like I said, it's over.

He's dead now.

[in Spanish]
Thank God.

- Paz.
- What?

I'm glad he's dead.

I bet you are too.

[soft music]

Yo, I got to thank you again for
taking care of that Fed rat.

You must be doing some
big business

to have that kind of heat
on you.

[Tommy] You know it.

They've been trying to catch me
for a minute.

I'm slippery.

Yeah, well, your pop used to run
with the biggest and the baddest

too, you know.

Your Sicilian family would be
proud.

I'm proud.

Get the fuck outta here.

I'm part Sicilian?

It makes sense.
I eat the shit out of pizza.

[Teresi] Hey, I got a favor
to ask you, Tommy.

I want to meet you.

I mean, in person.

Teresi, I got felonies
on my record.

Only way I'm meeting you
is if I'm in handcuffs.

Listen, they, um,

they make exceptions for
immediate family.

All you gotta do is prove
that you're my son.

How am I gonna do that?

I only just found out.

Fuckin' Ma.

Listen, you can't blame
your mother

for trying to wipe me out
of your life.

All right?
I hurt her real bad.

Now, that does not mean

that everything Kate says
about me is true.

But she's got proof.

I am not the kind of guy
who would deny his own son.

That ain't me.

CO's coming. Gotta go.

[laughter]

Yo, yo.

What's going on?

Takin' bets on what war Tommy's
gonna get us into today.

[laughter]

Look, man, he came through with
the Jimenez shit, though,

right, so...

Which he started.

Blessed are the peacemakers.
Period.

I don't care who's responsible
for the détente.

I'm just here for the dope.

Tommy been acting real crazy
lately,

but if shit go back to normal,
we a'ight.

[Spanky] Yep, shonuff.

Yo yo, yo yo.
[phone buzzing]

You know, that's right.

As long as the weight is good,
I'm good.

All right, cool.

Look, so the shipment
comes in tonight,

Tommy's straight.

It's all good now.
All right?

-Vaya.
-Yes, sir.

-Later, my player.
-Yo, yo.

Hmm.

Yo, still good with tomorrow?

Yeah.
You sure about Tommy?

Yeah, dog. Trust me.
He's gonna flip his shit.

Look, he'll piss everyone off,

and y'all tired
of Tommy's bullshit.

We're gonna walk together.

Look--no primeras,
no soldiers, no war.

No war is the only way we
get that Jimenez deal.

All right?
We got this.

Let's get it.

Your actions were very brave,
AUSA Valdes.

I was looking forward
to meeting you.

If I may,

I was happy to hear
the new U.S. Attorney

for Eastern District
was a woman.

It's a new direction
for the department.

And it needs one,
after this scandal.

The silver lining is that Mike's
death officially closes

both the Knox and Lobos cases.

Your catch saved the Justice
Department's ass.

Jesus, I would have loved to
light Sandoval up on that stand.

I wanted Mike to stand trial
too.

We lost the opportunity to make
an example of him,

which means my first duty
is to restore

the public's faith in us.

I need your leadership
to do that,

if you're up for it.

Of course.
I'm ready to lead.

Great.
Right away

the PR folks want us to make
an appearance

at the Destroy Injustice Gala.

The nonprofit for the
wrongfully convicted.

Why would we go to that?

They're honoring
James St. Patrick

as the DOJ's Victim of the Year

or some shit.

Whatever you need.

Good news is this'll be
the last time

St. Patrick's name is said
in this office.

We are so done with him.

Agreed.

No more James St. Patrick.

Now I need your advice.

This is just between us.

Who's the better
replacement for Mike

as Head of Criminal?

Mak or Saxe?

Why not me?

You said it yourself:

I saved the Justice
Department's ass.

Only after putting our
asses on the line

time and time again.

Honestly, Angela,
if you were me,

would you put you in charge?

We've heard these
sentiments before:

reinvesting in the community,
youth outreach.

What makes this project
and this alliance

between the two of you unique?

James St. Patrick
is a member of this community

who has seen the dark side
of the system firsthand.

His message of hope
and perseverance

is a unique inspiration.

I hear you've been named
Destroy Injustice's

Man of the Year?

Yes, and it's
an honor.

One that he richly deserves.

[chuckles]

Uh, if you're done with my
portion of the interview,

mind if I excuse myself?

-Absolutely.
-Thank you.

I just have a couple more
questions for James.

Did you ever think you'd be
standing here as a child?

The only antidote
to poverty

is opportunity, Olivia.

So when I was a child,
standing here,

um, there was a girl
from my hood,

a girl who got an opportunity.

She got a scholarship
to go to a prep school, Choate.

It changed her life forever.

I of course had to stay here

and fend for myself
on these streets.

I am so humble that my success

and the examples of my failures

can be of help to those in need.

You are the king of soundbites,
aren't you?

[laughs]

[in Spanish]
Just speaking my truth.

[laughter]

The first of many boxes

you'll be receiving now that
James has been cleared of--

where should I put this?

Oh, right here is fine.

You know, I just want to say
thank you for everything.

Mm.
[both chuckle]

Uh, there's something that's
been bothering me, Tasha.

You know I plan on
leaving James.

-[laughs]
-I mean, now that the case
is over.

No, no, not that.

I told you and James
that Mike Sandoval

was being held at the MCC?

Less than 24 hours later
he was dead.

Mike Sandoval was
a dirty prosecutor

in jail with a bunch of people
he sent there.

Anybody could have killed him.

Anybody.

That is true.

Mm-hmm.

Well, you know, I'm thinking
about expanding

the weave shop with LaKeisha.

Open up a second store.

Then some more.

And, uh, hopefully turn it

into a franchise.

But, you know,
in order to do that,

I need money.

I don't have enough money
to invest, Tasha.

Oh, not your money.

James is starting his
real estate project,

and once he starts getting
real money coming in

and we divorce...

You will invest the alimony.

And I'll be independent.

Mm.

Why you ain't answering
my texts, son?

He don't look so shook.

What do I got to be shook about?

You know, you ran out the house
so fast, um,

I thought you might be runnin'
to the cops.

Man, I ain't no snitch.

Ask Ray Ray.
He know I'm straight.

Ray Ray?
You talkin' to him?

I'm just saying,
I ain't no snitch.

Snitchin' now would make me
guilty by association.

Now where's my cut of the lick?

Working on it.

Afrocentric for their tastes.

My presence will help dilute

Authenticity.

Okay, listen to me, Simon.

Since we're expanding roles,

I want a bigger role in
the planning of the project.

Is this about compensation?

You do understand your
participation

is in lieu of repayment
of the money you owe me.

I want to be more than a face.

I want to be the man I was in

See you tomorrow for the vote.

He was there that day?

Let me explain.

He wanted to take you from me,

He gave me his name?

He wanted to give you to her

I changed your name.

I gave you my father's name.

He gave me his fucking name!

He's--he's, um,

What a time to be alive.

Never thought I'd see
a black-owned business

take back the hood
at this magnitude.

It's incredible.

What's wrong?

Councilman, I was reading over
my contract with Stern...

And couldn't help but notice,
uh, way back here...

In the fine print, it says
that Stern will receive

an overwhelming majority
of the compensation.

Now, I'm no mathematician,

but correct me if I'm wrong,

with my share at 51%,
technically,

it's a black-owned business.

But once again, I feel like
this asshole

has bought my black ass
off an auction block.

[sighs]

This redevelopment loan

was earmarked explicitly

for black-owned or minority
businesses.

What Stern's doing is fraud

and could bust up this
entire deal.

Look, the development is more
important, obviously,

than my compensation.
I just wanted to point out--

Hold on, hold on tight.

Maybe there's something

Thank you.

the paperwork

submitted by Mr. St. Patrick
and Mr. Stern.

Well, I'm sure whatever it is
can be remedied.

Your business agreement with
Mr. St. Patrick

states that he is 51% owner,

yet the compensation schedule
reads as if he's only

a small shareholder
in your company.

[tense music]

Well, I--

[Tate] I want to remind you

the reason the council
took your bid

to revitalize parcel 24703

is solely based
on your partnership

with Mr. St. Patrick
and his minority status.

I had no idea of the disparity.

I assure you my lawyers--
[clears throat]

will be rigorously reprimanded
for the error

and correct it immediately.

Mr. St. Patrick and I thank you,
Councilman Tate,

for keeping us
rigorously honest.

The committee will vote
