06x02 - Whose Side Are You On

[bunniefuu]

GHOST: Previously on Power ANGELA: I've got one just like it.

Number's programmed in.

Get back to me.

It just feels right.

I know.

Got you something.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

This is great.

You are going to give us everything you have on St.

Patrick, or else you are going down right along with him.

I want 24 hours to consider.

You have to take the deal they're offering.

It's your only way out.

I'm trying to get out of it, Paz.

I think I have a way.

I love you, Angie.

- [g*nsh*t]

- [GASPS]

We need you to authorize an autopsy.

You don't need to cut my sister open to know that Jamie St.

Patrick did this.

You are the prime suspect in the m*rder of a federal prosecutor, and if you won't turn Tommy in I'm not giving Tommy up.

I'm putting Tommy in a body bag, not a prison cell.

Do you read me, Joe?

Why were you and Ghost fighting?

He swindled me into k*lling my own father.

You made this mess.

You fix it.

Oh, and by the way, I want a divorce.

TASHA: You f*cked up, Tommy!

You took a sh*t at the devil, and you missed.

[MACHINE g*n f*ring]

You know who it was, Tommy.

You gonna run, or you gonna stand and fight?

This is w*r, LaKeisha.

I should send you and Cash away.

I don't care.

I'm staying.

[DESOLATE MUSIC]

That was a big as*ault on my organization.

No, no, no, it wasn't against you.

It was a family matter.

Tommy got in over his head.

And it seems now so have you.

I have a business to run, and these personal matters of yours are costing me a lot of time and money.

GHOST: Which is why I'm here.

I can't bring Tommy back.

I don't want to f*cking go to w*r.

[UNEASY MUSIC]

Okay.

I'll take your money, but this

[LAUGHS]

Is not enough.

You're gonna pay me $100,000 every two weeks to not retaliate.

Otherwise I will k*ll you myself.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR STEREO]

Who the f*ck takes the Queensboro Bridge this time of day?

I'm giving you one star!

f*ck you, you Eminem-looking f*ck!

Now I'm giving you zero stars, but keep testing me!

Test these nuts, Marshall!

Yeah, hey, 'Riq.

Thanks for setting up that ride for me, but, uh, I'm gonna need you to give that driver negative stars.

What happened to your car?

Why'd you need a ride?

I'll tell you later.

Hey, look, I gotta go.

Thanks for your help.

All right, later.

TOMMY: Later.

[DOOR CLICKS]

BRAYDEN: Hey, 'Riq.

Got you a new customer.

That Zolpidem was sweet.

Can I get some?

B said 20 bucks a pop.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What?

Come on, man.

It's cool.

I won't tell anyone.

Here.

I'll give you $30.

Get out.

Now.

I know you were full of sh*t, you choad.

You probably stole them from your sister again.

Hey, Luke, wait, I Come on, bro.

Dude.

You're k*lling me, Smalls.

Yo, what the f*ck are you thinking, bringing people in here like that?

Next time they want something, they go through you, all right?

Dude, you're kidding.

Does it look like I'm f*cking kidding?

Charge 'em $30 a pill.

You keep $10.

When you're done with those, bring the cash back.

I got some more for you.

[LAUGHS]

Hell yeah!

That's what's up!

Oh, bring it in, dog!

Bring it in!

Yeah!

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

I need your help, man.

I gotta tell you something.

Do you?

Yeah.

I k*lled Tommy.

- What?

- I k*lled Tommy.

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm serious.

I k*lled Tommy last night, Joe.

I need you to alibi me.

Don't get me wrong.

I would love to, truly, but I was at my daughter's ballet recital last night, and the new U.S.

attorney decided to pay me a visit, so I was literally with the Feds while you were out playing Grim Reaper.

f*ck.

Can Tasha help?

No, Tasha's not a f*cking option.

I'm on my way to my divorce arbitration.

Is now really the best time for that?

It wasn't my call.

Got it.

Been there.

The thing with Tommy were there witnesses?

Only other bad guys.

Nobody that matters.

Okay, then we'll we'll figure out a way to cover your tracks.

It's good for everyone that Tommy's gone.

I know I'm gonna sleep better.

He was my f*cking best friend, man.

He was my brother.

Well, I'd say I'm sorry for your loss, but you're the one who pulled the trigger.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

I had no choice.

I had to do it.

So now I've lost both Tommy and Angela in three days.

Speaking of which, and I shouldn't have to tell you this, but you better not be planning on going to Angela's funeral.

Of course I'm going to her funeral.

Well, can you at least bring Tasha, remind everybody that you're a family man?

- I just said Tasha's not an option, Joe!

- [KNOCK AT DOOR]

- Joseph Proctor?

- Yeah.

You've been served.

So what is it?

A notice to appear.

My cokehead ex is fighting for custody.

You sure you want to go through with that divorce?

All right, come on, come on.

Come on, everybody, gather round.

I got an announcement to make.

Now, I don't want to freak nobody out or nothing, but I'm kind of dead.

The f*ck you mean?

This better not be no zombie sh*t or something, 'cause the n*gg*s with the biggest brains always dyin' first in that sh*t.

Then you ain't got nothing to worry about.

f*ck, n*gga, what you get on the SAT?

Oh, damn.

For real?

Are you assholes done?

Somebody came for me last night, and as far as I know, they think they succeeded.

Who was it?

Don't worry about it.

I got that sh*t on lock.

For now, I just need everybody to f*cking move their weight and keep your mouths shut.

Nobody knows I'm breathing.

You got it?

Need us to rat on somebody?

Nah, it's a one-man job.

I'm good.

So everybody just get your sh*t.

Let's get the f*ck out of here.

Yo, you sure, Tommy?

- n*gga, he said take your sh*t and go.

- [g*n COCKING]

- I look like I take orders from you, m*therf*cker?

- Whoa!

Use your words, 2275.

Not now, Spanky.

You take orders from me!

Grim, I need a ride back to the city.

Let's go.

Hey, boss, ain't you just say someone's trying to k*ll you?

Yo, I'm going that way.

No, I'm good.

BG, let's go.

Bitch.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Saxe got the sister, Paz, to agree to an autopsy.

He's convinced the results are gonna nail St.

Patrick.

You really think St.

Patrick is sloppy enough to leave evidence?

The man rode with Angela to the hospital.

Now, either he's innocent, or he's cold as f*ck and we're not gonna find a stitch of physical proof he did a g*dd*mn thing.

Maybe we can turn the wife right now.

Blanca, Warner told us to ask about Terry Silver and nothing else.

[KNOCKING]

Agent Donovan, FBI.

Sergeant Blanca Rodriguez.

I remember both of you.

What are you doing in my hotel?

We're looking into the whereabouts of Deleterious Silver.

He was scheduled to be in court a couple days ago and never showed.

Seems like the people closest to you keep disappearing, Mrs.

St. Patrick.

You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

It sounds like I'm being accused of something.

- No, no, not at all.

- TASHA: Good, 'cause I been looking for Terry everywhere.

When was the last time you spoke to him?

I s-saw him I believe he came here the morning before he was supposed to be in court.

And what was the nature of your conversation?

- Blanca - TASHA: Isn't that the whole point of attorney-client privilege?

I don't have to tell you anything he said to me or anything I said to him.

So he was still your lawyer at the time of his disappearance?

[TENSE MUSIC]

YASMINE: Mommy!

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Thank you for your time, Mrs.

St.

Patrick.

- TASHA: Mm-hmm.

- Mrs.

St. Patrick, do you know anything about the death of Angela Valdes?

Rodriguez It's always a tragedy when someone dies before their time.

Excuse me.

[EXHALES FORCEFULLY]

What the hell was that?

I spent six hours in an interrogation room with that woman.

She's not stupid.

I bet she knows exactly what happened to both Angela and Terry Silver.

We should put a tail on her.

Warner won't authorize that.

Find another way.

[MELANCHOLY SYNTH MUSIC]

SAXE: Actually, uh, that's government-issued.

We have to keep that.

Here, I'll put it with her laptop and cell phone.

You arrest Jamie yet?

Well, uh, we won't have the autopsy results for a few days.

There's actually something else I wanted to Look, I'm sorry for the timing of this, but I thought you should know.

They put a freeze on Angela's benefits.

- Why?

- It's bullshit, but since she was k*lled before she was an official witness, HR has to sort some things out.

She's worked here for nine years.

She lost her life for this job.

What could they possibly have to sort out?

W [LAUGHS]

The unclear nature of your sister's alliances creates some complications.

What's that supposed to mean?

How how well did you know your sister?

Ah.

[DESOLATE MUSIC]

You've had it in for Angelita from the minute she was promoted over you.

You promised that you were going to arrest Jamie.

That is the only reason I gave you permission to cut her body open last night.

I know.

It's like, every time I close my eyes, I can't stop seeing it.

Good.

Oh, my God.

I can't afford to pay for a funeral.

What?

No, hey.

No, don't don't worry about that.

We both know she was gonna flip on St.

Patrick, so it'll all be cleared up soon.

Right.

Uh, in the meantime, let me know if you find anything in her belongings that, you know, might be helpful in the case.

Anything.

Anything at all.

All right.

Are we ready to begin?

Frankly, I don't understand why we're even here, given the St.

Patricks' ironclad prenup.

Because our forensic accountant discovered that Mr.

St.

Patrick has hidden accounts that may not be covered by that agreement.

Really, Tasha, you hired a forensic accountant?

Really, James, you had hidden accounts?

I emptied those to honor our daughter!

Well, maybe if you had been half as worried about protecting Raina as you are about honoring her, we wouldn't be here!

Mrs.

St.

Patrick, I Please do not call me that.

I'm going back to Green.

I want half of everything.

Mrs.

S Green, I've reviewed all the documents, and the fact is this: you can go to court to try to get these assets, but the prenuptial agreement clearly states that in the event that you initiate a divorce, you get nothing.

SCHULMAN: We're going to fight you every step of the way.

TASHA: Thanks.

Listen, I'ma catch up with you, all right?

Everything I asked for isn't for me.

It's for our kids.

Yeah, and I already give you money for our kids.

Well, it's not enough!

Tariq needs books.

Yasmine is growing like a weed.

You know what?

I don't even know why I'm surprised anymore, 'cause it's not like you've been putting your kids first lately.

Everything I do is for those kids.

Oh, really?

Well, what about Angela?

Was doing her for the kids too?

Wow, are we really still on that, Tasha?

When are you gonna let that go?

I know it ain't a good time to ask, but I need you to go to her funeral with me.

[SCOFFS]

Are you out of your g*dd*mn mind?

Why would I do that?

Because you and I both know that [SOFTLY]

I didn't k*ll Angela.

Listen to me.

If I go away for her m*rder, then you don't get a dime, prenup or not.

You are unbelievable.

And if the Feds find out you were working with Angela, then you become high on their suspect list.

So it's important that we maintain a united, innocent front, and an innocent person would go to her funeral.

Fine, but I need you to do something for me.

I know you're mad at Tommy, but you can't go after him, Ghost.

Please, okay?

The divorce is hard enough on the kids, especially Tariq.

He's already lost so much.

Got it.

Stay away from Tommy.

I'm gonna take the stairs, all right?

I'll see you at the funeral.

Thanks for coming in.

I've already told you guys everything I know about Joey.

And we appreciate that, but see, the thing is, he went and signed an agreement that protects him from previous crimes, so I need to get him on something new, and I'm thinking the best way to do that would be to get a bug in his house, maybe, um, in your daughter's backpack.

And how the f*ck would I get a bug in my kid's backpack if I don't get to see her?

Hmm.

I see your point.

Oh.

How about this?

I could go to court with you tomorrow and get this whole custody thing worked out.

Oh, my God.

You would do that for me?

Go f*ck yourself.

I never want to see any of you ever again.

Besides, I could lawyer you all under the table.

I don't need your help.

What I need is a job.

Yeah, you're never gonna get hired by the government with your history.

No sh*t, but I had an interview at a private firm today, and a recommendation from the U.

S.

attorney's office would probably go a long way.

I like you.

How does Elisa Marie feel about, uh, unicorns?

[DESOLATE MUSIC]

MAN ON TV: Boss just feeling each other out So what happens now, Tommy?

Nothing, hopefully.

I mean, you got rid of the

[SOFTLY]

g*n, right?

So, yeah, it's over, and I go back to we go back to business as usual.

[TV CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

What about Ghost?

I don't know.

I mean, I thought we was even, but clearly, he doesn't agree.

I mean, he gotta go, but I just can't see doing that to Tasha and the kids right now.

Really?

He didn't seem to care about what k*lling you would do to me and Cash.

MAN ON TV: Oh, almost gets nailed Good point.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Tommy.

- What if it's the f*cking cops?

- It ain't the cops.

- Calm down.

- Cash, okay, I gotta get Cash.

Hey, yo, LaKeisha.

Cash, Cash, go to your room, okay?

I'm just getting to the good part!

Cash, now!

Go to your room!

'Keisha, just get the door.

It's okay.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SIGHS]

What's up?

Hello.

[SIGHS]

Um have you talked to Tommy today?

I went by his place, and he's not Yo, what's up, Tash?

- Tommy, I am so happy to see

- I meant what I said.

Don't come back.

Bye.

'Keisha, what you doing?

You don't gotta do that to her.

She's your best friend!

f*ck that.

Tasha's only my friend when she needs something.

We're done with the St.

Patricks.

I'm not talking to her no more, and neither are you.

Look, okay, why don't we just finish cleaning up here and I'll tell you a little story about a magical white powder that has the power to make people very rich?

Tommy, when I got rid of that g*n, I wasn't thinking about our future or Cash or none of that, and when I just thought it was the f*cking cops at the door,

- I almost freaked out!

- Yeah, I know.

Maybe we shouldn't talk about the drug business tonight.

Okay, 'Keish you all right.

LAKEISHA: Cash, you okay?

- [CELL PHONE BUZZES]

- All right.

- [UNEASY MUSIC]

- - - [DOOR CLICKS]

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Uh, close the door, son.

Uh, have a seat.

I want to rap with you about something.

Who's dead now?

- Why would you - Just tell me, Ghost.

Who was it?

Ma?

Uncle Tommy?

Who?

Uncle Tommy.

Sorry, 'Riq.

How and when?

Last night.

I'm sorry, but when you walked in on me and your Uncle Tommy fighting, it was because he k*lled Angela.

[DESOLATE MUSIC]

But he was aiming for me.

Some things are unforgivable.

So you k*lled him.

Yes.

I had no choice.

Why was Uncle Tommy after you?

I mean, that's the thing, son.

To be honest, I don't know, you know?

Sometimes the people that you trust the most can turn on you with no warning.

- Son, look, I know it's a lot for you

- Man, I gotta study.

I wanted to tell you myself.

Uh, your high score is going down.

Yeah, you're not gonna b*at it, though.

Yeah, I will.

- [CELL PHONE BUZZES]

- Watch when it goes up.

Hold up.

Yo, I gotta take this.

Hold up.

Yo, what up, 'Riq?

TARIQ: What did my dad do to your car?

- How did you - He told me he went after you.

He told me you were dead.

Did you tell him I'm alive?

Nah.

Good looking out, kid.

So what'd he do to the Mustang?

Sprayed it full of b*ll*ts.

It's gone.

It's a miracle I'm not.

I thought you guys were family.

Yeah, well, I guess me and your dad ain't family no more.

[UNEASY MUSIC]

Were you really aiming for him when you sh*t Angela?

Yeah.

Well, he thinks you're dead, so you got the drop now.

If you're gonna take a sh*t at him, you gotta let me know first, though.

We good?

We good.

Prescreen all the questions.

I want to make sure this is a friendly crowd.

- I got it.

- Very important.

Got it.

You look great, Governor.

[CHUCKLES]

- That's certainly the goal.

- That's for you.

It's a big day, James.

Absolutely.

Well, media will be here shortly, and we have just a couple things to clear up before then.

Did you k*ll Angela Valdes?

Come on, Rashad, really?

It's not an unfair question.

You see, this press conference officially launches my campaign, and you, my good brother, have stirred up enough controversy for three presidential runs.

Angela Valdes was the love of my life, Rashad.

Of course I didn't k*ll her.

You know who did?

No.

Well, I'm sorry for your loss.

I appreciate that.

But if your ship is going down, I ain't going down with it.

You see, I've been holed up alone in my office working on a speech for the past 18 hours, and nothing, and I mean ain't a m*therf*cking thing, gonna detract from it today.

You understand?

Your success is my success, Rashad.

We on the same page.

[UNEASY MUSIC]

Tariq didn't tell him?

Mm-mm.

Wow.

Looks like he on my side for all this, but he said to hit him up before I make a move.

You still not down?

I told Tariq not to make a choice between you and his father, and I don't know.

I'm starting to wonder if it's better for us to have Ghost alive or dead.

That don't sound like you, T.

[SIGHS]

Ghost and I had our first divorce arbitration yesterday.

What the f*ck is an arbitration?

[LAUGHS]

It's when you want to get a divorce but you don't want to go to court.

Oh, okay.

I get it.

It didn't go well, Tommy.

I mean, do you know the snake is hiding money from me?

And he won't break the prenup that says I don't get sh*t.

Well, you know if you ever need money, Tasha, I got you.

Thanks, Tommy, really, but you know LaKeisha ain't gonna be down with that.

If Ghost was dead at least the kids and I are his beneficiaries.

What you saying, T?

[SIGHS]

I'm not sure what I'm saying.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Speak of the devil.

It's the third time she's called.

If you don't answer soon, it's gonna be a problem.

Hmm, well, I think we got a bigger problem with LaKeisha.

Seems she may not be up to the task.

When you came over to her apartment yesterday, she thought you was the cops and she bugged the f*ck out.

LaKeisha's tough, a'ight?

She just wants to know that she's taken care of.

Ooh, you know what you should do?

Get her something nice.

If you keep doing that sh*t, I'm telling you, she'll be down for life.

All right.

Tommy, what the f*ck are you doing?

You can't do that in here!

f*ck.

I almost forgot.

[ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

What you think?

The world ready for me in a Plymouth?

[SOMBER MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

sh*t.

Really, Angela?

[LINE RINGING]

Given that my ex-wife has no job and no means to support our child, I ask the court, what grounds could she possibly have for modifying our current agreement?

LINDSAY: Shows how much you know.

Is that the same level of attention you're paying our daughter?

WATERS: Ms.

Proctor, are you sure you don't want your counsel to speak on your behalf?

For your information, I took the bar and just landed a job at Cravath.

- [SCOFFS]

- I have the offer letter right here if you'd like to see it, Your Honor.

That's impossible.

You're not the only one who can put on a suit and bring in six figures, or did you forget that I b*at you out for the law review board, you know, before you got me hooked on cocaine?

Excuse me?

That's not true.

It most certainly is.

- What are you doing?

- Order.

LINDSAY: Your Honor, I'd also like to point out that not only is my ex-husband currently embroiled in a federal investigation, but his criminal ties extend far past the clients he represents.

Objection.

Relevance?

Um, my daughter's safety.

I think I've heard enough.

I'd like to know what Elisa Marie thinks from her own mouth.

Can you make the child available?

She's in the hallway, Your Honor.

Let's reconvene in my chambers, five minutes.

[DOOR CLICKS]

What's going on?

[PROCTOR SIGHS]

Why don't you put the game down for a s Hi, Elisa Marie.

I'm Judge Waters, and it's my job to decide who you should live with, and you're old enough to have an opinion on it.

Do you want to stay with your dad, or would you like to split time between both parents?

We shouldn't be in here.

Okay?

She should be able to answer without us in here.

- I'm leaving.

- No, Daddy, stay.

It's okay, sweetheart.

Just tell her the truth, that we're fine the way things are.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

Remember how much fun we had getting our nails done, honey?

[CRYING]

O-okay, stop.

Do you see what this is doing to her?

Fine, we'll share custody.

That seems like a good compromise.

[CRYING]

It's okay, sweetheart, okay?

Don't worry about it.

It's gonna work out.

I know you.

You're Jamie's wife.

Where is he?

I don't know.

You texted me.

Why are you talking to my sister?

I thought you hated her.

We had an agreement.

I mean, Angela told me that you were cool with her and Jamie, but I thought that was bullshit.

Did you set her up?

No.

Then what did you want from her?

It's best you don't know, trust me.

No, trust me.

If you don't tell me what the two of you were up to, I'm gonna take this phone and turn it in and make sure that you and Jamie go to prison for the rest of your lives.

Angela had a deal to turn Jamie in.

Is that why he k*lled her?

James didn't k*ll Angela.

- Why should I believe you?

- Because I was offered a deal too, and Angela knew.

She wasn't gonna flip, and neither was I, 'cause we were all working together to keep us all out of jail.

- She was helping you?

- Yes!

That's the only reason why I'm here.

Look, Angela and I had our problems, but I didn't want to see her dead, and in the end, she came through for me.

So look, if there's anything, anything at all, that my family can do to help Your family is the reason my sister's dead.

I'm going to the cops.

All right, fine, go to the cops, but just know that this phone implicates her.

This implicates your sister as part of a criminal conspiracy, and I got every text message she sent, every voice mail she left.

So go ahead, go to the cops, but once that comes out, there goes her life insurance and her benefits, not to mention her reputation.

Why would she do that?

Why would she risk everything she worked for?

Angela didn't always make the best decisions.

You know that.

But I'm hoping that it doesn't run in the family.

[UNEASY MUSIC]

If you work with me, your sister's secrets will be safe.

Your choice.

BLANCA: Hello, Mrs.

St.

Patrick.

[SCOFFS]

I'm not talking to you without a lawyer.

I did a little digging yesterday after you said the last time you saw Terry Silver was at your hotel room.

Funny thing: both your cell phones pinged off the cell tower by his apartment the day he disappeared, right before his signal went dark.

What do you want me to say?

Yes, okay?

I met him there.

Why didn't you tell me that before?

Because I was having sex with him in his garage, okay?

I'm a married woman.

I didn't want to advertise the relationship, but I swear to you, he was fine when I left.

Let's say I believe you.

Can you think of anyone else who had a reason to get rid of him?

TATE: And that's why I'm running for governor of this great state.

Thank you.

MAN: Councilman Tate, sir!

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Councilman Tate, uh, what is James St.

Patrick's role in this campaign?

James is a valued colleague who was gracious enough to let us use his beautiful space today.

- That's all.

- WOMAN: Councilman?

- Sure, yes.

- Does the recent death of Angela Valdes give you any pause about your other projects?

The death of Ms.

Valdes is tragic indeed, and our thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones, but with all due respect, I'll only be answering questions about my campaign today.

MAN: Yeah?

I got a question.

How you gonna be up there saying you're for the people when you're not even helping in your own community?

I'm from South Jamaica, and I've been unemployed for ten months.

What are you gonna do about that?

Ah, one of my constituents.

I wanna say thank you for coming out and joining us.

Delighted to have you here today, sir, and I'm glad you asked that.

You see, I've been working very hard at bringing new jobs to the very community that you speak of.

The Queens Child Project alone is Don't talk to me about no Queens Child Project, and don't even get me started on pretty boy up there.

James St.

Patrick is bullshit!

He was a corner boy back in the day, and nothing's changed.

He just got a whole building for it now, and you're trying to give him another one.

We all know that the importance We all have things from our past that we're not proud of.

Growing up, for example, in the south side of Queens, there weren't a lot of opportunities

- for boys like us.

- [SOFTLY]

James, I got it.

But really, I mean, that's that's why we're here, right?

You see, I worked hard.

I worked hard to overcome my limitations, and so did Rashad.

[LAUGHS]

Thank you, James Rashad and I, uh, have a vision for making this community a place of opportunity rather than obstacles.

It's why I partnered with Rashad for the Queens Child Project.

And it's also why I've spent the past 18 hours working on his speech with him so we can share our mission with you and rally your support.

Ladies and gentlemen, Governor Tate for New York State.

[APPLAUSE]

[TENSE MUSIC]

God damn it, James, you really don't listen.

I told you I didn't want any of your distractions down there.

Come on, Rashad, I just gave the people what they wanted.

- It serves you too.

- [HUFFS]

Where were you last night, for real, James?

It doesn't matter.

It most definitely matters.

James, you're just not connecting the dots.

Don't drag me down in your sh*t.

You have nothing to worry about.

What the f*ck?

I had a clean sh*t at Ghost!

You told me to run or to fight, and I was fighting!

I changed my mind.

k*lling Ghost now would put too much heat on the organization.

Not if no one knows it was me.

I said no, and if I catch wind of you continuing your pursuit, I will take away your drug supply.

Well, then you're setting me up to die.

If my primeras are out there running product, Ghost is bound to find out that I'm still alive, and as soon as he does, I'm f*cking f*cked.

I ain't got no soldiers to protect me.

You do now, at a charge.

You can pay me for extra protection.

All right, you know, that might not be the worst thing.

But I'm warning you now: if you are late with any of my business, I will pull my men and I will let Ghost k*ll you.

[UNEASY SYNTH MUSIC]

- [SIGHS]

- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Ghost, we need to talk.

Tasha, I took you off the list.

How'd you even get up here?

Did you follow me after the QCP groundbreaking to Terry's garage?

You said you weren't gonna see him again.

I know you k*lled him, Ghost!

The cops questioned me about it today.

You better hope there were no cameras in there.

You better hope so too.

So you were there.

I f*cking knew it.

What did you do to him?

Where's the body?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Bullshit, you don't!

Everything I've lost is because of you my home, my family, my life.

You have no right to take away my happiness too.

You have no right to take away my future.

Give me a f*cking break.

Terry Silver wasn't your future any more than Shawn was.

Wow.

I know you got money, Ghost, so here's what we're gonna do.

If you want me to keep my mouth shut, you're gonna have to pay me.

Tasha, I can't support you right now, okay?

I'm already paying the Serbs everything I got so Jason won't k*ll me.

Hmm, sounds like a you problem.

You pay up, or I'll talk, and your ass will end up right back in an orange jumpsuit, for real this time.

You wouldn't do it.

Try me.

All right, fine, I'll pay you.

Just stay out of my house!

You don't live here anymore.

[DOOR CLICKS]

Dude.

This sh*t is bananas!

We're gonna be so f*cking rich!

[LAUGHS]

n*gga, we go to Choate.

We already rich.

I know, right?

But, like, Diddy rich.

But, broski, um, we got an ish.

Someone wants to meet you.

What'd I tell you about that sh*t, bro?

I know.

I tried, but she wants to meet you.

She's fine as hell, bro, and she also said that, um, she's gonna turn us in if you don't show.

[SUCKS TEETH]

Lucy, I'm home!

Where the f*ck you been at all day?

What you talking about?

Mm!

Well, hey.

Hello to you too.

I thought you was dead.

No, baby, I am so f*cking alive, and thanks to the Serbs, your Italian stallion is f*cking invincible.

I thought we would celebrate.

Wait, wait, wait, eh, uh, uh - not so fast.

- [LAUGHS]

I gotta make something clear.

I want to give you everything you want in the whole world, 'Keisha, but those things come with a certain responsibility.

You understand?

Okay.

Okay.

Give me the bag.

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

Chanel Paris.

What you think?

How'd you know which one to get?

I thought about it and How did you know which one to get, Tommy?

There was only one person that knew I wanted this bag.

You been talking to Tasha?

That's where the f*ck you was at all day that you couldn't answer your phone?

You was with f*cking Tasha?

Look, 'Keisha, I know what you said, but there's just some things I can only talk about with Tasha.

I don't want the bag.

[BAG THUDS]

Yeah, right.

Come here.

I want you to stay away from Tasha.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

And there shouldn't be things that you can only talk about with her.

You can talk to me now

[LAUGHS]

About everything.

- Everything?

- Everything.

Uh-huh.

Can I talk to you about taking some of your clothes off?

Yes.

- Mm.

- You can.

- Come here.

- Ah.

- And - Yeah.

I'm keeping the bag.

Oh, yeah, I'll get you two more.

[LAUGHS]

[MUFFLED RAP MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, you're Effie, right?

I know what you're doing, and you need to stop.

Okay, there are, like, five black kids on campus.

You're gonna f*ck it up for all of us.

What?

You bugging.

I don't You probably got the wrong person.

Cut the sh*t.

Brayden's not that smart.

Known him for, like, three years, and he still can't even pronounce my last name.

You're new here, from the city.

Selling dr*gs?

Really?

Could you be any more of a stereotype?

- Man, whatever.

- Seriously.

You think you're in some kind of rap video or something?

- If you get caught

- I will never get caught.

What's wrong with you?

I like money.

Don't you?

We come here so we don't have to have that kind of life.

Be better.

Work at the bookstore, huh?

You here on a scholarship?

It's none of your g*dd*mn business.

Let me guess.

You can barely pay for your books, and your phone screen's all cracked, shoes are old.

Will your laptop even make it to graduation?

And your point is?

I could get you a job that pays way more than minimum wage.

[SCOFFS]

Please get out of here with that mess.

I'm just here to go to school.

You could either rat me out, or you could come work with me.

Working with me means more money, less hours.

Less hours means more time for you to, you know, study and tell people how to run their lives.

Seems like you're good at that.

Yeah, you know where I'm at if you want to talk.

[UNEASY MUSIC]

So then what did you do?

Called the DNC.

They're sending in some help.

What about you?

Any progress on your side?

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

That should be him now.

Come on in.

TATE: Excellent.

We tracked you down.

Rashad, this is Will Robertson.

Brother Will, what's good?

- Rashad Tate - You know, I don't know what the f*ck this is about, but I'm not here for the mother Relax, brother.

Please, have a seat.

Listen, I heard your complaints yesterday, I really did, and I wanted to personally address them.

Bullshit.

Is it, or is the bullshit the system sent you away for a minor misdemeanor, the same system, by the way, that I'm looking to change?

I suspect that record you got is the reason why you've had a hard time finding work, but it just so happens I could use your special skill set.

Rashad It sounds like you know James St.

Patrick from the neighborhood, and I'm looking for someone to do some research on Mr.

St. Patrick you know, find his associates, see what he's getting into.

That sound like something you might be interested in?

You pay in American dollars?

[LAUGHS]

I'll take that as a yes, my brother.

We'll be in touch.

[LAUGHS]

[DARK MUSIC]

What the hell are you thinking?

Derek, how the f*ck did he get into the press conference?

You're supposed to handle sh*t like that.

You're supposed to watch my f*cking back.

Things happen out there, Rashad.

What are you gonna do, fire me?

You can't.

I know too much about you.

No.

I ain't gonna fire your bitch ass.

[COUGHING]

I have a funeral to attend, so we'll be working late tonight.

A governor's race is a national stage.

Playtime is over.

Man the f*ck up.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC]

Were you trying to get him, or were you trying to help him?

Whose side were you on?

[DOOR CLICKS]

Mom?

[SNIFFLES]

My apologies.

It's fine.

I know we have to settle up.

No, it's already been taken care of.

Did you not know?

Was it a man named James St.

Patrick?

No, that was not the name.

Um do you mind, uh, if I have just a few more minutes with my sister?

Please, take as much time as you need.

Thank you.

Do you want me to stay?

It's okay, baby.

I'll be out in a minute.

[LINE TRILLS]

SAXE: Cooper Saxe.

Were my sister's benefits processed?

Not yet, but don't worry.

As soon as they do, you'll be reimbursed for the funeral expenses, and the faster we wrap up the St.

Patrick case, the sooner that'll happen.

Speaking of which, please tell me you found something that might help with that.

No.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[FREYA RIDINGS' "LOST WITHOUT YOU"]

Thanks for doing this for me, Tasha.

I'm not doing this for you.

I'm doing it for me.

DEA?

Steve Tampio.

Yeah, I remember you.

Didn't realize you and Angela were still, uh, close.

She put me onto Andre Coleman to close the Alicia Jimenez case.

He's in our custody now, but it's gonna be hard to keep the case together now that Angela's gone.

He's our star witness.

Really?

I had no idea.

Looks like you guys had no idea about a lot of things.

We need him to be ready to testify tomorrow.

If he finds out Angela's dead, he might recant.

Don't let that happen.

FREYA: Standing on the platform Watching you go It's like no other pain I've ever known But I think I'm lost Without you I just feel crushed Without you I've been strong for so long I never thought How much I need you I think I'm lost Without you Hey, Tameika.

How's it going?

Back in the private sector, Saxe, which is exactly where you should go before Warner turns you into the next scapegoat for all of this.

He's letting me head a task force.

It better work, or it's on you.

FREYA: You were the only Safe haven that I've known On behalf of the president of the United States, please accept this flag FREYA: Hits me at full speed Thank you.

FREYA: Feel like I can't breathe Every one of our CIs was k*lled.

I've never seen anything like it.

Are you guys looking into who got Teresi?

Come on, we all know who k*lled him.

We all know who k*lled all of them, including Is that FREYA: I think I'm lost Mrs.

The balls on this guy.

He's f*cking OJ.

FREYA: Lost Lost Ooh-way Ooh-way

[SCOFFS]

FREYA: Ooh-way O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, bless this grave and send your holy angels to watch over it.

As we bury here the body of our sister Angela, deliver her soul from every bond of sin, that she may rejoice in you and with your saints forever.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

ALL: Amen.

FREYA: How much I love You

Thank you.

Hey, Papi.

Tasha, did you know Tommy was alive?

Yep.

[OHANA BAM'S "ALL ROADS LEAD HOME"]

If you won't stop, you're gonna need more than just Brayden helping you.

He's about as discreet as a golden retriever.

So you in?

If you work with me, you definitely won't get caught.

And if you work with me, you definitely will get paid.

You play?

You any good?

Good enough to b*at you.

OHANA: Step to the lads with a comeback You f*cking lied to me!

Tommy's still alive.

If you knew the truth, you would've k*lled him.

The fact is, a dead distro is bad for business.

I'm sorry, but he has to go, and I gotta be the one to k*ll him, and when I do, Jason, I need to know that you and I won't have a problem.

Fine, you can k*ll him if you must, but if you do, you will replace him as my new distro.

Impossible.

I'm out of the drug game, and I have no desire to get back in.

I don't give a f*ck what you desire.

You wanna k*ll Tommy, that's the price.

Besides, if not you, then who?
