Previously on Power...

The witness picked out a photograph of Tommy Egan.

And we already have a tracker on his car.

We could just turn it on.

I'm conducting an investigation.

It's not that I won't answer your questions, Sergeant.

It's that I can't.

Her investigation's gone too far. Shut it down.

We'd like your assistance in gathering all the files

associated with the Raymond Jones murder.

Do you think Egan suspects anything?

He thinks that I wanna get close to the son I never knew.

Him getting out looks legit.

So he ain't a snitch or nothing?

Not as far as I could see.

Tommy won't turn on the Italians.

So we gotta make them shut the door on him.

I got a plan, K, but nobody can get hurt.

What the fuck are we 'posed to do with those?

Fuck this blank shit.

- You hit? - Yeah.

What?

So you didn't recognize any of them?

They're the dope boys.

Trying to even the score.

That was for Tommy.

You understand? You swore to me that shit was over.

Your dad and I, we didn't want you to know

what the streets were like.

We thought we were protecting you.

James, we've asked Andre to be an additional face for the QCP.

I can't deal with the loss of my daughter

the way you want me to.

That's just it, Ghost, you're not

dealing with it at all.

Hey, Angie,

I'm not doing that good.

Hey.

Hey.

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans - -- www.MY-SUBS.com --

Any idea why Vincent called to see you today?

Well, whatever it is, I'm not covering your ass again,

you understand?

Hey, there they are.

There they are.

Hey.

Hey, what's up? Come here.

- Give me some love. - I know, I know.

Good.

So...

I've been thinking about the shootout

from the other day.

And it just doesn't add up.

Anything you two wanna tell me?

Well, I mean, I think it was this guy Dre.

Was he the guy you said you handled?

You lied to me about it?

Yeah.

You could've told me about it before.

I could've helped you handle it.

Get your fucking hands off.

- Don't you... - Fucking man up.

- Come on. - Don't... Vince, Vince.

- Hold up. - There's been a mistake here.

Tony, these are your boys.

They're your responsibility.

Pick one.

Come on, Vincent.

Come on, you're really gonna do this?

He told you the truth. Nobody died.

Cut him some fucking slack.

You're a stand-up guy, Tony. I respect you.

But if you don't point this gun and pull the trigger,

all three of you are fucking dead.

Do it.

I'm sorry.

We'll always be family.

But that's all we'll be.

Tommy, it goes without saying,

I won't be needing a re-up.

You fucking mutt. You fucking mutt.

It's been chaos since you came around.

- You understand that? - Sammy!

- Get the fuck out of here. - Take... take... take off, kid.

I'll deal with this guy.

Go on.

Sammy.

You were gonna shoot me? You don't even know him.

Why did I have to come home for my birthday dinner?

Couldn't you all just call me or something?

No, your mother needs you here.

Son, you've never been away on your birthday,

and this ain't the year to start.

She told me about your conversation.

I would've told you. I just didn't know how to...

About my past... our past, back in Queens.

The truth.

Well, that's your mother's version of the truth, son.

She's hurting right now,

so she's saying things she don't really mean.

She's not really herself, so you gotta take it

with a grain of salt, whatever she says.

One day when you're older,

I'll give you my version.

You never talk about where you come from.

It's complicated.

Really irrelevant.

What's important is that I want to give you the life

I never had, son, the childhood I never had.

I want to protect you

from the things that nobody protected me from.

All right?

All right.

Thank you so much for coming to the hotel last night.

You have no idea how much I needed that.

It's good to just get away.

To just be.

I told you before, Tasha,

you don't have to be at a hotel.

You know I have Yas.

Well, bring Yas.

Bring your stuff to my apartment.

Well, I can't tonight.

Tariq is, um,

coming home for his birthday.

Mama is planning this big dinner.

And I haven't even told Tariq that I've moved out yet.

I get it. Do what you need to do.

But you need to stay away from James,

and out from under his influence.

You're funny.

If anybody has me under their influence,

it's you.

As soon as Tariq goes back to school,

I'm out of there.

Hey, Mrs. St. Patrick.

It's that time of the year again?

The usual for the twins?

One strawberry cake and one chocolate?

Uh, I only need one this year.

Strawberry.

Okay.

Tameika.

What's this?

The GPS tracker placed on Egan's car

during the St. Patrick trial.

Mak and Saxe recently reactivated it.

I think they're up to something I'm not privy to but should be,

as Head of Criminal.

You're absolutely right.

Let me handle them.

I want to congratulate you all,

especially you, Angela,

for getting closer to the Jimenez

than any other district in the decade-long

pursuit of the cartel.

But it's time to move on.

We shouldn't give up.

Let's build an airtight trafficking case

DOJ can't deny.

Now that we know the Jimenez have been in town,

I have requested all CCTV footage of them

from the past three months.

If we can track their movements,

piece together their New York syndicate,

pin down their distro...

Our orders from Agent Tampio are clear.

We've been asked to leave it alone.

Steve Tampio is compromised.

He's backed by the DOJ.

Your job as Head of Criminal

is as much about politics as it is about justice.

And I've assured the attorney general

that we will be moving on.

Is that understood?

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I need to have a word with John and Cooper.

If I don't get something solid from this stunt you've pulled

with Teresi by the end of the week,

I'm pulling the plug.

Angela knows about that tracker.

Jesus, she's gonna blow our whole case now, isn't she?

This is not about her, it's about you all

not getting it done.

No offense, Tameika,

but you got her all wrong.

We'll get you something. End of day.

Is what he says true?

Do I have Angela all wrong?

There's something I should tell you.

Angela asked me to take evidence away

from a cop named Blanca Rodriguez.

I could feel the gun was light.

I never would've pointed at you if it wasn't.

I'm more concerned with how I'm gonna fucking eat

now that Vincent's cut us out of the business.

We got Tommy, okay? He's good for it.

Where we at with the kid?

They're hassling me for more on Tommy's moolie.

Which one?

"Which one?" Listen to that.

No, they want the one I met inside.

You think Tommy will crack?

I think he better.

Almost killed my best friend for him.

He fucking owes me.

And then, he fucking shot Sammy.

But there was no bullets in the gun.

It was a fake-out.

Like some twisted, fucking lesson.

Anyway, the Italians are out. Gone.

I mean, they're done with me.

I'm fucking fucked.

And I ain't even 100% sure it was Dre.

Oh, it was Dre.

It was definitely that nigga.

Good thing that Vincent only got shot in the arm.

I'd be dick-deep in dirt right now

if Dre's boys killed anybody.

Your Italians is lucky I'm a punctual nigga,

'cause they could've got got. All of 'em.

I dropped them niggas.

K saved the motherfucking day.

Why were you all meeting?

We was gonna talk Jimenez shit.

But fuck them, and fuck the La Ara�a card.

The motherfuckers making overtures.

Dre's ass gets dropped today.

Nah, we gotta hold on Dre.

No, negative.

The motherfucker weaseled his way into working with me

on the Queens Child Project.

Tate knows I don't want him on it.

So if we kill Dre, he'll know it was me.

They'll know it was the three of us.

You pretty motherfuckers stay trying to be on TV, man.

Well, I gotta do something to make this up to Teresi.

He chose me over his best fucking friend.

Well, that's the other shit I don't get.

Why would he do that?

'Cause I'm his son, Ghost.

You know, I had eyes on the Jimenez.

But I couldn't do nothing about it

'cause you were still on this Teresi shit.

See the forest for the trees, motherfucker.

We get rid of the Jimenez,

you ain't never gotta worry about Teresi ever again.

And we don't ever have to associate again.

You don't believe that bullshit.

Here's your check, Tommy. Clean money.

When you're around him, forget you know me, okay?

Be like a dream come true.

I'll see you at 'Riq's birthday, right?

I wouldn't miss it.

Bet. Later, K.

All right.

Ghost is like that little bitch from Charlie Brown.

Always moving the ball.

Maybe the best way to get Dre is to push him out

of his own organization.

Word is there's been trouble with Cristobal,

head of the Tainos.

He been outshining Dre to the Jimenez.

Maybe we help that beef along?

Nah.

Even if we did,

now we need Ghost to get the drop on Dre.

Man, Ghost got you believing

you can't do nothing without him.

Look, hit me up when you wanna talk about the Jimenez

or expansion.

I got shit to do today.

Did you find out what Mak and Saxe were up to?

I didn't, because I already know what they're up to.

Have a seat.

Mak and Saxe came to me because they suspected

Egan was still trafficking drugs.

I gave permission for surveillance.

I kept you out of the loop because I can't trust

that you'd remain objective.

What do they have on Egan?

Dick. We don't even know his supplier.

I'll have them turn off the tracker.

So you knew they were running an investigation

behind my back?

That undermines my authority, Tameika.

I hired you knowing your weaknesses,

and I have to manage them.

And what's the status with this NYPD dirty cop case

Donovan told me about?

I apologize for the secrecy.

I didn't wanna bring you in on it

until I was sure it had legs.

You know I like you, Angela.

You have all the qualities I look for in a prosecutor.

Your drive to win being the most important.

But it's important to remember that how we win matters

just as much as the win itself.

You flexed a lot of muscle with the evidence seizure.

You're sure that's all this case is about?

Dirty cops?

As far as I know, it's about dirty cops.

Andre's a kid from the street who lost his way.

But got back on track by becoming an overnight success

as the manager of the Bassett Hotel Group's first nightclub.

And he's generously offered to host

tonight's final fundraiser.

What do you think, Simon?

We already have a Black on the team

who's boot-strapped his way to the top of the industry.

Andre seems so redundant.

He is, uh, reminiscent of James, yes.

But Andre is much closer in age

to the kids in the community,

and considering James' personal trials of late...

Rashad, I'm financially and morally

invested in this project, with a true commitment

to the community I was raised in.

I'm irreplaceable.

I'd also like to remind you of my contribution

to your community.

I respect and appreciate each of your contributions

to the project.

But quite frankly, this little meeting

is a formality.

I get to decide who represents me

- on a community level... - Wait a minute.

And that person is Andre.

Y... you're right, Rashad.

You should decide how you're represented.

Thank you for notifying us.

It's my pleasure.

Andre, allow me to show you the project grounds.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Stern.

Simon, you're just gonna let Tate walk all over us?

I go to Berlin to find myself,

and I come back to this mess.

For as long as I've known you, James,

you have found a way to wriggle out from under

every one of my impediments with aplomb.

Wriggle away, my good man.

My nigga, my nigga, my nigga, my nigga.

Hey, Lucky.

That's a nice jacket you got on, papi.

Cowhide leather, right?

You know the neocortex is a phenomenon

that support the process of the brain?

It's responsible for heightening the human senses

within the last century.

That's how I knew it was cowhide leather.

I smelled it from when you walked around the corner.

But fuck all that, papi, look.

I got these gift cards.

Give 'em to you, dirt cheap.

Matter of fact, give 'em to you just for a loosey.

I scratched some of the decorations off

because I didn't like the way the shit looked.

But this shit's still good.

Get the fuck out of here, man.

Well, fuck you, mamahuevo.

Didn't like your jacket anyway, ugly mother...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, papi.

Look, what about this bike?

What about this bike?

I even throw in the gift cards with it, papi.

$20.

I gotta eat just like you, papi.

These Spanish don't want nobody to have nothin',

just like you.

Spanish?

I'll take the bike.

You know any Tainos?

- Loco. - Not today, Laces.

Wait, let me get at you for a second.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Got some good gift cards for you this time, papi.

All the barcodes are good and everything, I swear.

I can take his wallet too, right?

I don't give a fuck. Take his shoes too.

Bye-bye.

Jamie.

Hey.

Thanks for meeting me, Angie.

It was nice to see you the other night.

I thought that was a one-time thing.

Oh, I just wanted to buy some sneakers for Tariq's birthday.

I thought you could help.

You need help with sneakers?

Well, I mean, I, you know,

wanted to give him something he wants.

Maybe you have an opinion about what a teenage kid wants.

He's a Choate man now, you know.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

He's doing good, Angie. He's making the grades.

I'm really proud of him.

If you have any advice to give him,

I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Are you still working with Andre Coleman?

No.

I mean, yes, technically.

We're partnered together on the Queens Child Project

by Councilman Tate.

But it's temporary.

Angie.

I can't speak for Andre Coleman,

but I'm not doing that anymore.

First coffee, now this.

I can't get sucked back in, Jamie.

We can't keep making this a thing.

It's not gonna work.

I just thought with it being

Raina's birthday and all that we could...

Shit.

I'm sorry. I...

I didn't realize.

How are you doing?

_

It's work. I'm on thin ice right now.

I wanna stay and talk.

No, you should go.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm sorry.

Can I help you with anything?

We gotta make this quick.

Connie gets cranky if she doesn't get

her Nutter Butters during chemo.

What you got for us?

Tommy's got a beef with a kid named Dre.

Pulled some kind of drive-by.

Andre Coleman?

How many fucking Dre's could there be?

Come on.

Sandoval interviewed him during the St. Patrick trial.

He was an employee of St. Patrick at the time.

We need something more concrete for a RICO.

Who's Tommy's supplier? Who's in his crew?

We need something on St. Patrick directly too.

And soon. Like today.

It's that or make Connie a snitch's widow

on her deathbed.

Yeah, yeah, I get the stakes, all right?

Don't worry about it.

I plan on delivering 'em both up

on a silver fucking platter.

Or maybe a nice piece of China.

Uh, he's Korean.

So Mak's got you on me now too?

I'm Mak's boss, remember?

Would you like to be a lawyer again?

Of fucking course I would.

Then I need you to do something for me.

Hey, Quinn, I got your text.

What's going on?

And what the hell is he doing here in my office?

You never told Karen you signed a non-compete clause

when you were at Truth?

It just slipped my mind, though.

It didn't slip James'.

And he's gonna sue our balls off

if I do not fire you immediately.

Look, there's something we can definitely do about it.

I can just call Karen right now...

I'm sorry, Andre, but the Bassett corporate policy

is not to fuck with non-competes.

Now, the only way around it

is if James would rip up the contract.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Then your dismissal is effective immediately.

Which also means that the charity event

you have planned tonight has been cancelled.

Andre, I don't want you to worry

about the Queens Child Project, all right?

It's all good.

I made arrangements to host the event at my club, Truth.

Quinn, I wanna thank you for your cooperation.

Uh, I almost forgot.

Please tell Karen I said hi.

Andre, I need your key card.

How are things with Teresi?

Terrible.

I know I said everything with his release checks out,

but you still gotta be careful.

Who told you to say that?

Ghost?

No.

Who the fuck are we meeting with anyway?

What the fuck?

Hi, Tommy.

It's a motherfucking setup!

I have reason to believe you're the New York distributor

for the Jimenez cartel.

The people in these photos

are much of Lobos' last known organization

with the Jimenez in front of the Ridgebury Hotel.

Tommy's not in any of these.

I know you were there, Tommy.

And you were also at the airport with the Jimenez

just the other day before I arrested them.

You think that I'm the distributor for the Jimenez?

Tommy, don't say anything.

I know you are.

I'm gonna wrap up their entire organization

including you and Jamie if you don't play ball.

Oh, this ain't even about me.

It's about your boyfriend.

I'm sorry, your ex-boyfriend.

Well, I ain't working with that motherfucker no more,

so you could take your bullshit and bounce.

Okay, that may be true.

But you still work for the Jimenez,

and you can't deny that.

The DOJ is coming for you, Tommy.

This is your chance to get away with everything.

Ooh.

If you had anything on me worth having,

you'd be arresting me right now.

Not calling for a meet-up.

How do I know anything you say is for real?

What the fuck is that?

That's illegal, Angela.

There's a warrant for this.

You think I'm supposed to trust you now

after you pulled some bullshit like that?

You conniving bitch.

You don't need to trust me to work with me.

You just need to not wanna go to prison.

I can give you immunity.

You can walk away from all of this, clean.

Think about it.

Tommy, you could use blanket immunity.

What if they find out about Markham?

As long as you keep your mouth shut, they won't.

It was a good time.

Reverend.

- Congratulations, James. - Thank you.

Our community is thrilled for the changes you'll bring.

Well, Simon and I have worked very hard...

James, you should know that Andre is here.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

What the fuck is he doing here?

Andre told me about his unfortunate dismissal.

That doesn't mean he's not valuable to the cause.

In fact, there are several donors here tonight

that could be Andre's next employer.

Word. I'd like to get back to work as soon as possible.

I'd like you to get out of the club as soon as possible.

Easy, James.

We've discussed the situation, haven't we?

Ah, I see Eric Ellis made it.

He's recently purchased

an up-and-coming lifestyle brand.

He might need a new man on board.

I'll introduce you. Excuse us.

Ellis is a dilettante.

Valiant effort, James.

I had him dead to rights, Simon.

Be patient.

You created that young man, didn't you?

Fighting yourself is a bit more difficult.

We'll get him.

_

So 'Riq,

how do you like your new school?

I mean, it's all right.

It's still new.

_

_

Who are you talking to, Tasha?

- Nobody, Mama. - _

_

'Riq.

What's your favorite class?

Philosophy's pretty cool.

The only thing that I know

is that I know nothing.

Socrates.

Great, baby.

I used that once on a biology test in high school.

I passed.

Hey, Tasha.

Is... Ghost gonna come?

Is he here?
