Previously on "Claws"...

You're breaking up with me?
Yeah.

What's wrong? Look, if you want
to talk, I'm free.

Let's get married.

-What?
-Is that a yes?

Yes!
We're pregnant!

What say you let me
show you a good time?

[ Giggles ]

Are you smashing Joe?

-Why have you been lying to me?
-It's over.

How many people have you killed?

Pol--
No, don't.

[ Crying ]

I don't care about the world.

I care about me.

So if things don't start
to pick up at the clinic,

I'm gonna have to seek
greener pastures.

They bought it was Clint.

I'm sorry I went rogue,
Zaddy.

Just don't do it again, okay?

Shameful, paying that bastard
to fill a prison

with innocent people.

Prisons that you take bribes
to build.

The casino is mine now.

We listen to a higher power.

Melba:
He's referring to the Triads.

If you take over, the cat
is out of the bag,

and we are all dead,
including our son.

Meet Dean Lovestone.

We legally adopted him
this morning.

-[ Gasps ]
-Dean: W-W-We're all family now.

Hey, y'all. We are broadcasting
all the way live

from the apartment
of Desna Simms.

And today, the "Blue Chairs"
is about to [pops]

the hell off.

[ Theme music plays ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

With me are Desna Simms
and Mac and Melba Lovestone

of the Bayside Rapture Casino.

There has been a lot
of drama between y'all.

She just keeps coming back.

She's like an antibiotic-
resistant strain of gonorrhea.

[ Audience laughs ]

Don't start it, you hi-hag.
[ Audience gasps ]

Oh, joy, oh rapture.

The tea is spilling off
the table.

So much bad blood, but, as it
turns out, there's been

a bigger boss all along --
the Macau Triads.

[ Audience gasping ]

The most ruthless crime
organization on the planet.
[ Air hissing ]

And if y'all don't
come together,

and they find out about
your little side hustle

with the Governor,
they gonna kill your ass

and the asses
of everybody you love.

You know, if she had
just taken that check --

Bitch, if you would've told me
you was in the bed

with the Chinese Mob,
maybe I would have.

Okay, okay.
We want to work this out.

We have an interracial family
to protect.

We love our black son.

Dean is not your son.

As a matter of fact,

I have the results of
the paternity test right here.

[ Audience gasping ]
[ Drum roll playing ]

So, as it turns out,

Dean is not the biological son

of Mac and Melba.
[ Audience murmuring ]

In yo face.

But he'd rather be with them
than with you.

Bloop.
What --

[ Applause ]

This is bullshit!

[ Theme music playing ]
[ Applause ]

[ Whistling and cheering ]

[ Dean laughs ]

[ Applause continues ]

Hi, Dessie.

[ Shudders ]

"Macau" -- M-A-C-A-U?
Yeah.

Where the...is Macau?
Quiet Ann:
It's off the coast of China,

but these Triads are serious.

Jennifer: Listen to this --
in Atlantic City,

a man and a woman --
sweet toddler Jesus --

Polly: Oh!
Des, look at this.

This shit is serious.

They are worse
than the Russians.

We've got to get Dean the hell
out of that casino right now.

-What's the game plan, Des?
-Okay, listen.

I need all y'all
to sit this one out.

-What?!
-No, ma'am, ma'am.
-No way, no way.

I'm not gonna let you
go there by yourself, no.

It's dangerous, Ann,
and you got a bun in the oven.

Jennifer:
Okay, well, that part is right.

I'ma get over there with Roller,
we gonna grab Dean

and be in and out
before Macau find out,

and when we're done,
that's it with this shit.

Let me just get this straight.

You gonna roll with your boy
and not your actual crew?

Hos before bros, Des.

He's got his own beef
with Mac and Melba.

What ever happened
to ride or die?

This time, I'ma need
y'all to just ride.

[ Exhales ]

Jennifer:
Gwen, hey, pick a color, girl.

[ Door opens ]
Des?

What?

Listen, I know
that I lied about Joe.

You damn right you did.

You were literally sleeping
with the enemy.

Bitch, you ain't Julia Roberts.

-How am I supposed to trust you?
-I know, I know.

But let me make it up to you.
I can go and talk to Joe.

I can get the inside track
on Mac and Melba

and find out what they're
really doing with Dean.

And are you saying that
just 'cause you want

to fall back
on the man's dick?
No!

Well, if I'm being honest,
partly.

Please don't tell me
you ain't caught feelings

for this Rico Suave.
I didn't mean to!

Oh, God, I don't even
understand how it happened.

I don't know what's going on.

Shit, you in deep.

Oh, girl, I'm drowning.

Oh. Listen.

Oh, I get it.

I mean, me and Roller --
we -- [ Sighs ]

We don't make sense,
but we work.

See? You know what
I'm talking about.

No, because Joe is in bed
with Mac and Melba,

so who knows what kind of
foul shit he into over there.

Well, I can compartmentalize
my feelings.

I like Joe, but I would never
put a man before the crew.

I'm totally down with you, Des,
and you know that.

[ Sighs ] I know that.

And I forgive you.

Pol, there's some dark shit
happening over there,

and I cannot let you back
in that lion's den.

Dean is part
of my family, too.

I taught him how
to chairy-pop.

Okurrr? Right?
[ Scoffs ]

[ Giggles ]

I'm not gonna lie.

It would be nice to have
somebody else

watching my back over there.

That's me, girl.

We got to be careful, Pol.
Yeah.

Those Triads will
skin us alive.

I know.

[ Exhales ]

I love you so much.

[ Exhales ]

-Uh, uh.
-Man: Hello, ladies.

-Are you ready to see the baby?
-Mm.

I'm just gonna hand you
this, okay?

Oh, God.
Alright, okay.

We're gonna check
for a heartbeat, okay?
Uh-huh.

Alrighty. Alright.
[ Beeps ]

[ Woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A. ]

Why aren't we hearing
anything?

This is bad.
This is really bad.

Just give him a minute.
Let him do his job.

Oh, God.

Something's wrong. I know it.
Something's wrong with the baby.

It's gonna be fine.
I --

It's gonna be fine, right?

Just tell her, right?

Tell her.
It's gonna be fine.

[ Heart beating ]

There it is.

Nice and strong, see?

Can I talk to you

I don't -- I don't want to
talk about

Mac and Melba
with you anymore.

Well, I don't want to talk about
Mac and Melba either.

I want to talk about
Mac and Melba's bosses.

The Triad. The Chinese Mafia.
The San Ho Hui.

Their name means the union
between heaven, earth, and man.

Mac and Melba told me
all about them.

Oh, oh, okay, then good.

Then you know that these people
are dangerous

and that we could be diced up
and buried just like that.

Dean, we got to
get out of here.

I don't want to talk
about this anymore.

I have a very important
tournament to prep for.

I-I-I need to focus.

Dean, y-y-you remember,
the, um --

when you were around eight,
that group home

that we lived in
in Oceanside?

Terrible food, yes.
Okay, Dean. That's the one.

You remember when the kitchen
caught on fire?

You said it was cosmic justice,
yeah.

I set the fire, Dean.

Were you protesting
their fish-stick heavy menu?

I was trying to keep you
from getting adopted.

Th-There was a family that --
that wanted you, Dean,

and I begged and I cried
to get them to take me, too,

because I knew what
kind of people they were,

and I knew that they wouldn't
take care of you

as good as I could.

They already had
too many kids.

They couldn't give you
the attention you needed,

and they said no,
so I set the kitchen on fire,

and I blamed it on you.

And after that,
they were gone.

I know this is hard for you
to understand, baby,

but it was the right
thing to do.

Don't you see, Dean?

I will do anything
to keep you safe.

[ Clatter ]

You took a family from me.

You were selfish.

I did it for you.

I did everything I've done
for you.

It's all been for you.

I just want you out
of the casino, Dean.

I'm not trying to control
you, baby.

I'm trying to protect you.

You're not trying
to protect me, Desna!

You're trying to protect you.

Just you.

[ Exhales ]

[ Frustrated grunt ]

[ Slaps ]

[ Breathes unevenly ]

[ Crunches ]

It's sad how hard she tries.

Dean will stay focused.
He better.

We need him to win
that tournament.

Oh, he will.
He's so talented.

It's a shame he's not gonna
get a chance to act--

[ Imitating chicken clucking ]

Look, I understand that
stealing his prize money

has always been
a part of the plan,

but the kid is --
[ Meows ]

[ Continues meowing ]

Is the final step necessary?

Don't be a chicken pussy.

Stick to the plan.
No loose ends.

After Dean wins, he's dead,
and we're gone.

Hey, baby, what's happening?

Roller, Dean --
he shut me down.

Hmm?

So I want to ask if you could
do me a favor.

Yeah, what you need, baby?

[ Sighs ] I need you to run
the Hunting Grounds.

[ Chuckles ] Okay.

I mean, what's running
a whack-ass club

got to do with your brother?

I just figure if you were here
running the club --

you know how much Dean likes
to spend time with you,

and maybe you could just talk
to him and convince him

about our exit strategy.

'Cause we need to get Dean
out of this casino.

I got you.

Yeah?

[ Sighs ] Thank you.

You think you can do it
without killing Mac and Melba?

Baby, I'm all
about restraint.

Promise?
I got you. [ Clicks ]

Melba: What's the matter?

Why the long tits?

I'm thinking that
the Hunting Ground

needs to be revamped, and Roller
is just the person to do it.

[ Laughing ]

Mm.
I have serious reservations

about your white-black lover
taking over.

I don't know why not.

He has experience
in the music industry,

and he could take that club
to a whole new level.

It doesn't need that.

The Mac daddy
make you jump-jump.

-I'm just not a fan.
-Yeah, me, either, bitch.

I can't work with
this meathead.

Okay, well, you gonna have
to figure it out,

'cause his ass
ain't going nowhere.

Listen, your club is shit.
Lucky for you, I can fix it.

Fine, do what you want.

I'ma need some paper.

-Skrilla?
-Bread?

Chedda?

-Money.
-Money.

Oh, for God's sake,
just go up to accounting

and get what you need.

[ Air whooshes ]

Hey.

[ Vacuum whirring ]

Hey, stranger.

Want to get rowdy together?

What are you doing here?

Um...

I missed you.

Then why'd you send
back the gun?

I'm not very good
at accepting gifts.

[ Scoffs ]
One time, uh,
Richard Branson --

he gave me a trip
to outer space --
Yeah.

Cut the bullshit.

You want to be with me?

Yes.

You walked away.

You killed Penelope
and Yolanda.

I thought I was next.

-So what's changed?
-Nothing.

I just --
I can't stay away from you.

Are you playing me?

No.

'Cause I am not playing you.

[ Exhales ]

-Jenn.
-Yes?

I've decided to go
on a real date with Eric.

Oh.
Which one?

Uh, that one. Showcase them
titties a little bit.

Let 'em dance around.
Girl, you know these
mosquito bites don't dance.

[ Laughter ]
That is true.

Listen, it doesn't really matter
what you wear.

It's gonna end up
on the floor anyway.

-Ahh!

-Jenny-Jenn!
-Yes, baby?

-Whoo!
-Oh, my.

I need your advice, Dean.

But did -- did Desna
send you here

for some kind of intervention?

Because I'm not an addict,
Roller. I'm not an addict.

Dean, nobody's saying that.

Dean, I got to open
this club up,

and you're in here, like,
24 hours, seven days a week.

Actually,
I'm in the mahjong room.

Yeah, but you know
the customers, right?

N-Not really.
Dean, what you mean?

You got the party instinct.

I hate loud music,

Nope.

Well, I can't, 'cause then

No, it would not interrupt

It would help your

It will help your mind,

How do you wash the Governor's
money through the casino?

I only know how to smurf
through my salon.

Oh, Desna.

Dumb-dumb Desna.

Washing money is easy.

It's keeping it from Macau that
you have to be careful about.

Let me tell you
about our counterparts

at Gambler's Delight
in Atlantic City.

They skimmed a little bit
of money from the Triads

because they wanted
to build a pool.

Nothing fancy --
above ground.

But Macau found out,
and they went swimming alright.

Swimming in a deep-fat fryer.

Alright, then --
then tell me how to do it.

-Mwah!
-Wow.

you talking about?

Mac and Melba.
You now?

a choreographer loves her muse.

I can't speak for Mac
and Melba's motivations, though.

-I've devoted my life to them.
-I know.

Did their dirty work

You don't see them adopting me.
That is weird.

Maybe it's a good time for me
to go talk to him now.

I told you.

I'ma speak to him,

Look, we're gonna get drinks

I'ma speak to him.

I can't tell you what
this opportunity means to me.

"Get It, Get It" published,

I could finally go wide with
my message of empowerment

and stick-to-itiveness

Don't you forget spunk.

Hey, I didn't know
you was gonna be here.

Yeah.

[ Exhales, murmurs ]

Hey, you want something
to drink?

W-Well, Dean,
what are you having?

A-A kombucha sour.

Can I have the same,
but with vodka?

You looked good
out there tonight.

Th-Thanks, Dessie.

It -- It was good
to be back with the boys.

It was a much
simpler time then.

I hadn't shot Zlata.
Slow --

A-And -- And -- And you
hadn't killed Dr. Ruval.

Baby, that -- that is all water
under the bridge.

Yeah.
But those body rolls
you did tonight...

boy?

Hey!
Yeah. [ Laughs ]

You noticed that, yeah?
Yes, I did.

We were practicing a lot, Des.
We were practicing a lot.

I am fundamentally opposed
to same-sex marriage.

But, clearly, my opponent,
Henry Zayas,

to my left here,
disagrees with me.

For personal reasons.

[ Clears throat ]
[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Governor Patel is correct.

I am supportive
of same-sex marriage.

And not just because it's right.

But, uh...

because my sister's a lesbian.

She and her partner
are engaged,

and I can't think
of two people

more deserving of a happy,
healthy marriage.

Aw!

Patel:
Well, alrighty, then.

And that's the only reason
you support same-sex marriage?

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Clears throat ]

Did you see that?

Dean didn't get defensive
or walk away from me at all.

You're welcome, baby.
[ Giggles ]

I think he's finally
opening up to me,

and I can convince him to get
out of here a little sooner.

Just don't freak him out, okay?

I'm not.
Okay.

Wait.
What is happening?

So, I assume you're planning
on marrying your boyfriend?

[ Audience gasping.
murmuring ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]
I don't know what
you're talking about.

Well, I think you do,

and I think
it's time you fess up

to the good people
of the great state of Florida.

Be honest, son.

Okay.

I'll be honest.

As soon as you admit
to the good people of Florida

that you've been taking bribes.
[ Audience gasps ]

Shit!
Factually not true!

And then you launder the money

through Bayside Rapture Casino.

These are lies!
Oh, shit.

I've never even
been to the casino, liar!
Shit.

[ Exhales ]

[ Audience gasping ]

Polly, Ann is in trouble.

Her brother just leaked that
the Governor is taking bribes,

and I think she was the one
who told him.

That's an unfortunate
development.

Look, I've been trying her,

and she's not answering
the phone,

but I need you to find out
from Joe

if Mac and Melba
know about this yet,

'cause, if they do,
her ass is Melba toast.

I will get right on that
and, uh, circle back.

[ Phone beeps, ice clatters ]

Hey, uh, Roller has
a question for Mac and Melba,

and he can't find them.

Do you have a fix
on their location?

No, I don't.
And, frankly, I don't care.

No one consulted me about having
that Neanderthal run the club.

They don't appreciate you, Joe.

All those years of service,

not getting included
in the decisions?

I don't want to talk about it.
It's hurtful!

On top of being replaced
by Dean.

Polly, please.

Baby, I'm sorry.

I-I'm not trying to pick
a sore spot.

I'm just trying to understand
why you still put up with them.

[ Glass thuds ]

They were there for me
during my darkest moment.

There's a darkness in me, too.

And I like it.

Maybe too much.

And when I'm around you,
I feel it, and it --

and I really -- just, it...
[ Exhales ]

It scares me.

So I'm your issue?

What scares me the most is that
I can't stay away from you.

I'm afraid of what being
around you does to me.

I will never let anything
happen to you, Polly.

[ Exhales ]

[ Phone dials, rings ]

This is Ann.
Leave a message at the beep.

Ann, no one is picking up
the salon phone.

Are you okay?

I need you to call me back.

It's an emergency.

[ Bell dings ]
Verla, please.

I just need a little something,
please?

I miss pills.
Especially booty-bumpin' em.

Look. Come back tomorrow
to get treatment.

Everything's gonna be fine.
Methadone is great.

It'll help you get over
your opioid cravings.

Will it help me get over
seeing my drug dealer

turn into a Mormon Tabernacle
choirboy?

[ Growls loudly ]

Ugh!

[ Country music playing ]

Mmm.

Mm.

Do you think Toby will be okay
with what we're doing?

Well, he's a millennial.

There's no need to fill him in
on the details.

It'd just confuse him.

Yeah, but if you keep
threading my needle,

you are gonna tell him, right?

Well, I'm definitely gonna keep
threading your needle.

[ Both giggle ]

Mmm!

Mmm!

Okay, I'm gonna see you
later.

[ Slaps ]
Ow.

[ Door opens ]
Don't forget the cocoa butter.

[ Door closes ]
I won't.

Hey, Toby.

[ Door opens ]

Well.
[ Door closes ]

Don't you look like
the CEO of Haternation.

[ Chuckles ]
[ Mock chuckle ]

You've been keeping a secret.
What are you talking about?

I know you've been giving Brenda
vitamin D injections.

Well, I was gonna, you know,
ease you into that.

[ Chuckles ]
But, uh, I guess this is

just as good a time as any.

[ Chuckles ]

How about we bring, uh,

ol' Brenda into the fold?

Our fold?

Oh, come on now, Toby.

You know I love you.

But, uh...

well, the heart wants
what the heart wants.

And it --
And my heart wants...

Tobrenda.

Tobrenda?

Are you serious?

I am a 26-year-old
sugar baby.

This is not how you treat me.

Come on, boy,
all I done for you --

After what I've done for you!

I tried to kill for you.

I never asked you
to go after Desna --

I did what you couldn't,
you moron!

Stop, stop, stop, hey.
Shh, calm down.

Calm down, boy.
Calm down. Shh.

Calm down.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I feel like I'm losing you.

Oh, you ain't losing me.

Yeah, I'm right here, boy.

No, you're not.
You're with her!

Well, how's this any different
than with Juanda?

Because Juanda was a queen
and --

and you --
you both chose me.

Only you chose Brenda.
You went behind my back.

[ Sighs ]
Look, Clay.

There's only room for one
princess in this relationship.

You have to make a choice.

[ Nervous chuckling ]

[ Both chuckle ]

So, uh...
So --

...w-what made you
pick the Tomato Oasis?

Oh, uh, well, before
I went away,

Jenn and I used to hit
this place all the time.

Oh.

Cool.

And when she was
pregnant, um,

all she ever wanted
was those breadsticks.

Oh.

Sounds like you really miss
Jenn a lot.

-Jennifer: Virginia!
-Uh --

Hey, girl, hey!

Speak of the devil.

I didn't know that y'all were
coming out for fancy Italian!

Oh, my God, these breadsticks.

How's this going?

-G-Great, yeah. Mm-hmm.
-Great.

Well, this distinguished
gentleman to my right

has a talk in
the Executive Vine Room

if you'd like
to stop on by.

"Get it"?
"Get it"?

Oh.
That sounds amazing.

I think we should stop by, yeah?

Yeah, I'm in.

Yeah, I'm sure you are.

[ Laughing ]

Hey.

-Author coming through!
-Stop it.

[ Bryce laughs ]

[ Bell dings ]

Hello?

Ann?

Hello?

Are you here?

[ Gasps ] Oh, God.

Why weren't you answering
your goddamn phone?

I thought something
happened to you.
I saw it.

Ann, you told your brother?
Why would you do that?

It was a mistake.
I'm so sorry.
You --

You want them to take
your intestines out

and make them
into a goddamn bolo tie?

It was a mistake.
On --

On the life
of my unborn baby,

you know that
I wouldn't do that.

Just -- I made a mistake.

I was just trying
to encourage him.

I would never ever --
Shut up.

I didn't know he was gonna
do that on live TV --

Shut up!

For somebody named Quiet Ann,
you talk too damn much.

Get your ass in the car
before somebody finds you

and blows your head off.

[ Sighs ]

[ Bell dings ]

This is bullshit.

I'm not going into hiding.

Five minutes ago you was
cowering in the back office.

Now she don't wanna hide.
Well, I freaked.

Okay? But I'm fine now,

so we can
turn around and go back.

We are not going back, okay?

I'm gonna get you safe,
so just deal with it.

Dean's right. You're always
trying to control people.

Unh-unh.
Don't bring Dean into this.

[ Phone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Great.

We're in this mess
because of you and Dean.

What? So this is my fault?
I swear to God.

It's like you just like
sabotaging shit.

What the hell does that mean?

Hello, Arlene?

Hello, quitting
the crew way back when?

I mean...
So you're giving me
a history lesson?

Yeah.
Hello, Zlata?

Oh...
Hello, Riva?

Stay outta my business.

You just better hope
Mac and Melba

stay out of your business.
[ Phone rings ]

Speak of the devil.

[ Rings ]

Hey, girl.

Clearly the quiet one
wasn't so quiet.

[ Mouths words ]

What?
I-- I don't know what you mean.

Her brother just accused Patel

on television of washing money
through Bayside.

We need to take care
of this, Desna.

-Where is she?
-I-I don't know.

Poppycock!

Don't worry, okay?

I'll find her.

Oh!
Oh, no.

No, I'm not worried.

She will be found.

And punished.

We're looking, too.

[ Shrieks ]

[ Phone clatters ]

[ Phone beeps ]
Thank you.

[ Siren wails in distance ]

Okay, okay, but I have
never been late

on any credit card payment.

I have been a loyal customer
since college.

You people lured me with
an application and a free trip

to Weeki Wachee
State Park.

[ Phone beeps ]
Hello? Hello?

What the -- [ Grunts ]

Ken, I need some Oxy.

I can't just give them out
anymore.

We're healing people, remember?
Don't worry.

Uncle Daddy's too blinded

by Brenda's feminine wiles
to notice.

He's got pussy goggles on.

I can pay you for them if that
makes it any better.

That -- That would
make me a dealer.

So what?
Get your side hustle on, girl.

You work at a strip mall
in Palmetto.

Don't you have dreams?

Hey, hey, hey,
you can't take that.

Wait, hey!

How am I gonna explain
the accounting?

Figure it out.

Hey.
Hey.

Bad news.

Mac and Melba just
asked me to murder your friend.

The quiet one.

Joe! You can't do that!
It's my job.

[ Clicks ]
Ah! No, it's not!

They treat you like
a red-headed step-child,

no offense to me,
and they expect you

to just jump
every time they call.

Yeah, it is getting old.
So stand up to them.

Show them that they can't
treat you like that anymore.

You know what? They should
ask their mahjong son

is what they should do.
Atta boy.

Okay, here's what
we're gonna do.

I am gonna put this over here,
and you are just gonna lie

and say that you
can't find Ann,

and I am gonna
keep you occupied.

"Because it's not just about
having pride in who you are.

It's about speaking up and
demanding respect from others.

Demanding that they acknowledge
the inherent greatness

you've always known
in yourself.
[ Murmuring ]

Now that is what it means
to get it, get it."

-Oh...
-Yeah!

[ Applause ]

[ Applause continues ]

Alright, then I'll, uh --

I'll be happy
to take any questions.

First of all, buddy, really,
really inspiring.

[ Murmuring agreement ]
Thank you, brother.

But what I find most empowering
is the subtitle

to your magnum opus --
"The Final Solution."

I just think it's refreshing
when someone has the gonads

to rise up
and encourage the master race

to "get it, get it."

Question, uh, what do you
mean "master race"?

Oh, the one true race.
The white race.

Man: Yeah.

-Oh, Lord.
-[ Chuckles nervously ]

I think there's been a mistake.

I'm not a part
of the white race.

I mean, I'm --
I mean, I'm not a racist.

Oh, neither are we.

We're nationalists.
[ Murmuring agreement ]

White power!
White national--

Me and my wife -- we have many,
many black friends.

-We love our black friends.
-So many, and we love them.

And co-workers.
[ Gasping ]

Okay, race traitor.
Chad, don't. Chad.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
-Chad, don't do this.

-You just wanna back off --
-Come on!

Oh!
[ Gasping ]

Jenn, I'm sorry.

I have a black --
I'm sor-- Oh! Oh!

[ Grunts ]

[ Audience murmuring, shouting ]

We have a black daughter!
Shit!

[ All shouting at once ]

Back! Get back!

[ Shouting continues ]

[ Shouting indistinctly ]

-Let go!
-Virginia, did you see me?!

[ Screaming,
shouting continues ]

White power!

[ Shouting continues ]
[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

Somebody definitely died
in this shit hole.

Please stop talking
about death.

[ Knock on door ]

It's her.
Oh, God.

It's okay, baby.
I'm here now.

I can't believe your brother
would do this.

Didn't he know
it would blow back on us?

I'm not gonna defend him,
alright?

He screwed up, and now
we're gonna be in hiding

for the rest
of our goddamn lives.

Don't say that.
I'm gonna fix this.

How?
How are you gonna do that?

I'm gonna make a deal
with Mac and Melba.

No!

You're not gonna become
a dirty cop because of me.

No.

I'm doing this.

This is happening.

Are you sure?

We're having a baby.

That's all that matters now.
[ Sniffles ]

I love you.

I love you, too.

Thank you for taking the time
to talk to your sister.

Okay.

-Baby.
-Huh.

Baby.
[ Exhales ]

I want to talk to you,
and I just wanted to say

that you were right,
and I've been selfish.

Yes, extremely.

Yeah, and you are
a grown-ass man,

and you don't need me
to be your protector.

Can I go back
to play mahjong now?

Okay, well, no, I have some
other things to say,

and if you still want
to go after that, you can.

I just want to make sure
you have all the facts.

Yeah, facts, I like facts.

Facts are friends --
your friends.

Unless you're the President.

Okay.

Well, the fact is Quiet Ann
is in hiding right now

because Mac and Melba
want to hurt her.

T-T-That's not a fact.

Baby, that's a fact.

And the other thing
I didn't tell you

because I didn't want you
to worry was that Mac and Melba

kidnapped me and Roller...
[ Groans ]

...and left us
in the swamp to die.

Dean, these are the people
who adopted you.

I don't know, Dessie.

I-I don't --
that's a lot to process.

I would not lie to you
about this.

-[ Breathes unevenly ]
-Dean, you are a grown man now.

You can handle the truth,

and that's why
I'm telling you all this.

That's why I want you
to leave here,

because I'm worried about you.
I promise you.

I will find you another place
to dance and play mahjong,

but just not here.

I can't -- I don't know --
I don't -- I don't --

I-I can't talk about this until
after I finish the tournament.

The tournament --
I have to finish the --
O-Okay, okay, okay, baby.

Yes.
We --

We can talk about it
any time you get ready.

T-Thanks, Dessie,
I appreciate it. Thank you.
I love you.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door slams ]
[ Exhales ]

[ Vehicle approaches ]

[ Man shouts in distance ]

[ Vehicle approaches ]

[ Dog barks in distance ]

[ Window whirs ]

Doc?
Shh.

I know you're missing
the goods.

[ Exhales excitedly ]
Wait, wait, wait.

I need you to tell
all your friends

that I can hook them up,

but you can't use
my real name, okay?

You call me...

Ishmael.

I'll call you Beyoncé.

Just give me my damn drugs.

Thanks.

[ Exhales ]
[ Window whirs ]

I couldn't find Ann anywhere.

Wh-- What the hell
are you doing here?

Saving your ass.

Your friend Arlene was just
telling us

that she is willing to help us
bury this unfortunate debacle

so that we can keep
law enforcement out of it.

-Oh, is she?
-This is what's gonna happen.

You need to make your books
are completely clean

and sever all ties with Patel.

I can make all of this go away
if you never look at Ann again.

Well?

Come on, y'all.
That -- That seems reasonable.

Oh, indeed it is.
I like your friend.

[ Gasps ]

I don't.

[ Gasps ]
Professor.

What a surprise.

She...

was a liability.

Now, let's find out
if you are, too.

[ Gasps ]
