This is a RICO.

You're looking at years federal time.

Weston Holdings is a
f*cking Ponzi scheme.

That means my f*cking

[BRAYDEN] Yeah, and the Tejadas'.

You gave our money to a
bunch of m*therf*ckers.

Now I gotta go get it the f*ck back.

Yeah, I'm into this honesty thing.

I'm just not into losing.

That's funny, because you're losing me.

- [DIANA] What's that?
- A letter from my lawyer.

Saxe says Tariq set
me up to get arrested.

We better not do anything
till we know for sure.

[DIANA] Why would Papi's prints
be at the scene of Zeke's m*rder?

It was your mother.

She wanted Lorenzo dead.

I'm so done with your lying bullshit!

I would have did the
same thing for any of you!

If anybody should be dead, it's yo' ass.

- [MONET] I should be dead?
- [DIANA] Yes!

Get the f*ck off her!

[MONET] Don't you ever put
your f*cking hands on me again.

Get the f*ck out of my house.

How did you even find me?

Your buddy, Monet Tejada.

murdering a congressman.

Tate could be useful.

just lost your brother.

if she testifies than if she doesn't.

to town after Effie's arrest.

Wait, who the f*ck is Noma?

All right, Noma is
Mecca's boss, all right?

She found out Mecca was k*lled.

She came here looking
for Mecca's K*llers,

and now we've been trying to
fill in his role ever since.

Or you pay with your life.

Tariq, what have you
gotten yourself into?

I mean, it's nothing I can't figure out.

Look, I just need money.
You know? That power.

That power that makes
you literally untouchable.

That sh*t that Noma has.

Your dad tried that,

and it took him down.

Yeah, but you know he didn't
do that sh*t right, Ma.

No, no, no. Ghost was a lot of things,

but he wasn't stupid.

All right. There's a way.

But if you take it, you cannot stop.

You understand?

With Monet sh*t, it's a
power vacuum. I cleared the way.

You just need to use it

to get close to Noma and try to...

Learn everything she knows

so I can end up taking everything
she has and bringing you home.

But it's a dangerous play, baby.

You gotta be careful.

Yeah, I know, but I'm
not gonna get you back

and have a life worth
living without taking a risk.
