Post by bunniefuu »

Todd here says he knows where,
um, Kane's laying his head.

f*ck Kane. And while we at
it, f*ck your nephew, too.

These n*gg*s had my
back for a long time.

- [g*nf*re]
- f*ck!

- sh*t!
- f*ck! Who the f*ck are these n*gg*s?

- I don't know! sh*t!
- Oh, sh*t.

It appears there is one last weapons
shipment en route to Costa Rica.

The Center wants us
to use our Sandinista

contacts to intercept the shipment.

I need every member of the
assaulting party searched,

their gear confiscated.

Securing the cargo and not
finding out who came after it


will be considered a mission failure.

[SIGHS]

- What?
- TEDDY: The Russians.

They're trying to
blow up this operation.

What's up, Lee? What you need?

The playground lights.

- Might be good to put them back.
- Nah, they stay out.

[PANICKED CHATTER, SCREAMING]

- [GRUNTING]
- [CHEERING]

f*ck him up, baby! [GROANING, CLAMORING]

f*ck him up, baby! f*ck him up!

- Get off me!
- [GLASS SHATTERING]

FRANKLIN: A while back,
I had you looking into family

members of Teddy McDonald.
You remember that?

You came up with his
pops in Kansas City.

I need you to reconfirm their locations.

VERONIQUE: I know you're frustrated.

The way you snapped at my mom...

She almost walked.

This next thing we have
planned is really risky,

and I can't do it without her.



[DISTANT SIREN WAILING]

What do you think of Barbados?

What about it?

I was thinking maybe we
could go for the holidays.

Or maybe St. Lucia, like we used to.

Do you remember that
sketchy little place?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

That's right. [SIGHS]

We could go back.

Carry on family tradition.

Make sure that little baby
knows there isn't anywhere

in this world he can't go.

I don't think Franklin's up for
planning a holiday right now.

Is there some kind of exit
plan if this doesn't work?

- It'll work.
- Don't do that.

I taught you better. We are
always prepared for the worst.

This is the CIA Franklin's up against.

Even if he does get this money,
you know it won't be enough.

Not for a man like him.

Should I critique all the
men you've let into your life?

Then I guess that makes me
an expert on f*cked-up men.

I have known a thousand Franklins.

And men like him, they're like
garage sale jigsaw puzzles.

They never come with all the pieces.

And they spend their whole lives taking,

trying to make themselves
whole, no matter what the cost.

- Stop.
- Honey, you need to hear this,

- because...
- Mom, stop.

You see? Look. There.

That's him.

- You all right, Colonel?
- Yeah, that's him.

- ORDERLY: Need a hand?
- [COLONEL LAUGHS]

f*ck off.

I'm fine. [PANTING]



[PHONE RINGING]

Hey. We've got eyes on Teddy's father,
but we need to move quickly.

How soon can you get here?

Uh, give me hours.

[CLEARS THROAT] Thanks, V.

Good news?

[SIGHS] Nah.

KANE: You know, Frankie,

that was my girl's house.

She could've been there.

Her kid.

I'm getting real f*cking
tired of this sh*t, n*gga.

Look, uh, I got some sh*t
I got to take care of.

All right? I'll hit you
if I hear anything, okay?

KANE: You know what sh*t
I want to take care of?

Your f*cking uncle.

And that bitch wife of his.

You want to leave?

You just put that brain to work.

You're gonna sit your ass right there

until we figure out
how to end this sh*t.

If there was something else,

some other way, you
think I wouldn't tell you?

I know you know something
beyond that f*cking club

where they got ten m*therf*ckers
with Uzis at the door.

f*cking think, n*gga.

Or else we got ourselves a long night.

[HOOVES STOMPING ON TV]

[HORSE WHINNYING]

[WHINNYING]

What?

Damn.

Y'all moving on up.

- [CHUCKLES]
- What happened?

I heard from an old CI.

He said Kane got out.

Rumor is, place was a bloodbath.

- You know, bodies on top of bodies.
- So how the f*ck did they miss?

[LAUGHS] Guess.

Y'all gonna get a kick out of this.

[SNIFFING]

sh*t, fine.

It was Franklin.

Franklin? What about Franklin?

He was there.

Pulled Kane out.

- Franklin sh*t his way out?
- Mm-hmm.

Something about that Saint blood.

Y'all are some born sh**t. [SCOFFS]

You sure you heard this right?

Yeah, I'm sure.

But don't worry,
I'm gonna get back out there.

You know, figure out
where Kane's hiding out

before he comes back at y'all.

LOUIE: You call us every two hours.

Yep, you got it. [SCOFFS]

JEROME: Look at me. Look at me, n*gga.

You using?

Nah. You using?

If you are, ain't no coming back again.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS HEAVILY] We could've had 'em.

Ended it all right there.

[SIGHS]

[SCOFFS]

[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE]

Well, that was dumb.

Compared to what?

You want to go see a doctor,
or you want to keep being dumb?

LEON: Why stop now?

I just need to lay down a minute.

[BANGING ON SCREEN DOOR]

- [g*n CLICKING]
- RENNY: It's Renny.

Deon with you?

RENNY: Nah.

Deon got a girl out in Lynwood,

probably went to her place.

But he took all the
product. And the cash.

You know he'll be back.

Not tonight.

But soon.

And if you expect us to back you,
need to know you got a plan.

g*dd*mn, do you see him right now?

This sh*t can't wait?

You think sh*t was better
off before I left or after?

Hmm?

I respect you, Lee.

What you did today...

A lot of people do.

But the truth is,

you a confusing m*therf*cker.

You dropping bodies, but talking peace.

You was running this
sh*t, then you quit.

n*gga, you left with a crackhead,
came back with a wife.

- Watch your f*cking mouth!
- n*gga, that's word in the hood.

Ain't no disrespect.

Sorry, Wanda.

We just want sh*t to stay the same.

All this change, n*gg*s can't handle.

Lee, those people out there,

they want to be looked after,

and they want to make money. That's it.

If you ain't gonna do that, step aside,

let someone else do it.

Like who? You?

You think there's a shortage of n*gg*s

out there right now with
they eye on the crown?

Hmm?

All ready to go to w*r
to get their hands on it.

Y'all think sh*t was bad under Big D?

Just wait.

Like you said, why stop now?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Ey!

Ey, who the f*ck else wants some? Hmm?

I see all you bitch-ass n*gg*s
scheming and talking and sh*t.

Well, now's your f*cking chance.

I see you, p*ssy.

Come the f*ck on, n*gga.

Anybody want to f*cking
try me, let's go.

Little Deon ain't running sh*t no more.

You want to work, you come to me.

Tomorrow, we get back to
making money the right way.

Y'all n*gg*s pathetic. Y'all p*ssy.

Bitch-ass n*gg*s.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Ay, Mom, so much VapoRub.

- You are gonna suffocate us all.
- [HISSES]

You need to leave
before the boys hear you.

I need to talk to you.

[FERNANDA SPEAKING SPANISH]

FERNANDA: The nerve you
have to show your face

- after the hell you put my girl through.
- XIAMARA: Mom, stop,

- I can handle this.
- [FERNANDA SPEAKING SPANISH]

¡Ya!

Can we talk somewhere?

About what?

They said if I told
you, there was no deal.

Well, you should've told me anyway.

You think I didn't want to?

You really think I wanted
to go through this alone?

I can't sleep, chepita.

I can't breathe.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

I just wanted...

to protect you and the boys and...

try-try to find a way out.

[SIGHS]

Tomorrow, the DEA is gonna
raid Teddy's warehouse.

I'll have to go into witness protection.

- And you and the boys...
- No.

No.

I can't live like that.

Yo sé.

Trapped. Looking over my shoulder.

The DEA keeping tabs on us
until they slip up, and then what?

The CIA comes after us?

I won't do that.

I'm not asking you to.

You deserve a good life.

A free life.

But if you want to run,

you have to leave now, tonight.

Run?

With two kids and no money?

How am I supposed to do that?
Where would we even go, Gustavo?

What do you want, Xiamara?

Tell me.

"Want"...

is a luxury I don't even recognize.

This is about need, now.

I'm not running, and I am not
going into witness protection.

What I need is a life.

A regular, boring life.

And you're going to figure out
how to make that happen for us.

HAVEMEYER: What made you do that?

Follow Gustavo after you got back?

I just thought, what
would I do if I were them?

Give the trained officer a wide berth,

follow the Mexican.

Good news is,

we know who we're dealing with.

- Bad news is, we know who we're dealing with.
- [SIGHS]

HAVEMEYER: He doesn't look European.

What do you know?

He's maybe Central American.

Definitely KGB.

You think it started with Avi?

It's a good bet.

HAVEMEYER: How long do you think
they've been working Gustavo?

The way it went down,
you meet in a crowded bar.

I'm thinking that's the initial
approach. But if I'm being honest,

Gustavo's been a little
off the last month or so.

You think he's turned?

I don't know.

Let me figure it out.

Until then, I think we just
play it close to the vest.

Can you get surveillance
up on the residence

without telling Langley too much?

You want to get in there?

CISSY: No, Franklin.

- No?
- We had this conversation before, remember?

I didn't run then, and
I'm not running now.

- But that was different.
- Was it?

Those were gangbangers who
couldn't sh**t straight.

- I'm not asking you...
- How you doing, Father?

There's more where that came from.

Just let me know, okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

[BABY CRYING]

You think I'm overreacting?

That he won't come for you?

Let him come. I'll be here.

Hey, he's not just gonna
walk through the door.

I mean, you know who they
are. You know what they do.

Oh, really?

[SCOFFS] Mom, what are you,
some kind of martyr now?

Oh, what? This all your fault, huh?

You need to die? Why?

Because you didn't disown
me for slinging that sh*t?

- Watch your mouth.
- 'Cause you helped me, took the money,

built a business,

enjoyed living your life for a change?

Yes.

Hey, mama. Hey.

Yeah?

- See if you can keep this down.
- Mm-hmm.

And then I'll get you a cot, all right?

I don't want a bed.

Bastards can't keep
their hands to themselves.

All right. I'll put a cot in the office.

Lock the door behind me.

Nobody'll bother you. Okay?

FRANKLIN: We're this close...

this close to changing the
fate and fortune of this bloodline

for generations.

Do I need to remind
you where you was at?

What the future looked like?

You, about to drop dead

on the stairs of one of
Tulfowitz's buildings,

and I don't even know how I
would've paid for the funeral.

And how is this life
any better than that?

Listen to me. I love you.

Okay?

Please.

Do this for me.

[HELICOPTER DISTANTLY WHIRRING]

[UNZIPPING]

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

[TRUCK ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

Hey.

What's going on?

[SIGHS] So, I don't know where to start.

So, listen, two nights ago,

when we got back from Costa Rica,

Xiamara and I had a fight, okay?

I left. I went to a bar.

And while I was there, I was
approached by the man in the sketch.

Sepa la chingada how he found me.

He knew everything I'd
been doing with you.

He threatened me and my
family if I didn't help him.

Help him do what?

He wanted proof that you've been
selling cocaine to finance a w*r.

So we need to move everything
out of the warehouse, right now.

- The cocaine and the money...
- No, I will, I will.

- It's okay. It's okay.
- Everything. No, it's...

- Just relax.
- They could be following us.

There's nobody following you.

- These guys, they work alone.
- What?

KGB illegals. Always alone.

[SIGHS] I already moved the cocaine.

When?

Well, last night,
after I followed the man

in the sketch home from the
bar, after he approached you.

It's very good that
you told me, Gustavo.

It's very, very good.

Where did you say you
are originally from?

Uh, Montana.

[CHUCKLES] I'm just kidding.
We're from Detroit.

Oh, of course. You all have
quite the sense of humor.

[LAUGHS] This place is so lovely.

We've been looking at
homes for a while now,

but I think, I think this is the one.

Hello, there, Mrs. Cooper.

You don't mind if I steal your
daughter a moment longer, do you?

Oh, you can have her.

[CHUCKLES] The paperwork
won't take long.

Please make yourself at home.

- Everyone is very friendly.
- Oh, that's good.

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you. [CHUCKLES]

sh*t.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[PHONE RINGS IN DISTANCE]

[DOOR CREAKS]

How much do we need to worry?

- I'm keeping an eye on it.
- [PHONE RINGING]

- Call it off.
- TONY: What?

- TONY: Why?
- He moved the product.

What are you talking about? Why?

He's worried the KGB is onto us.

[HORSE WHINNIES IN DISTANCE]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Yo, this is the one.

Got one of the stablemen talking,

said Louie rides a couple times a week.

- What days?
- I don't know,

and it don't matter,
because whenever she do come through,

y'all gonna be here.

Sunup to sundown.

Sunup? What we look like, farmers?

She does show up, she
might have security, right?

Probably.

Kane wants her alive.

So do whatever y'all got to
do to make sure that happens.

[CROW CAWING]

[BIRDS SINGING]

You don't mind, do you?

You can't smoke in here.

Oh. No?

Well, uh...

I won't tell if you won't tell.

Mmm.

You want one?

Ask me why I'm in here.

Okay.

Why are you in here?

Cancer. Down a lung.

Mm.

Well, I doubt one cigarette
is gonna cost you the other.

It's your first day?

Mm.

First and last,
if it were up to me. But...

[SIGHS] ... there's no talking
any sense into my daughter.

Not that I deserve any mercy from her.

Why do you say that?

You got kids?

- Two boys.
- Mm.

Are y'all close?

Mm-mm.

Ah. Then I guess you understand why.

But still, you're, uh, you're still

pretty young to be in
a place like this, aren't you?

[LAUGHS]

Ah. How many Black people do you know?

I'm sorry?

Oh, well, obviously not enough to know

that we age like fine wine.

Sorry, I am so rude.

I just sat down here and
didn't introduce myself.

I'm Penny.

Mac.

I can't believe I'm gonna
spend my last lucid days

in a place like this.

Give it to me straight,
Mac, how bad is it here?

I spent three months
as a POW during Korea.

Below zero temps in my birthday suit.

I'd do another month
over one more day here.

[SCOFFS] Oh.

Oh...

We can make a run for it, if you want.

Oh, yeah?

We won't get far on foot.

My daughter's gonna
notice they're gone soon.

And when she does, I
don't want to be here.

What about you?

- JANIS: Is everything okay?
- [ENGINE STARTS]

VERONIQUE: Mmm.

Everything's perfect.

You know, I tried to give
this little m*therf*cker a fair one.

But now Leon gonna get dealt with.

I still run the m*therf*cking Ps.
Today, yesterday and tomorrow.

- Ain't sh*t changed.
- Yeah.

In the meantime, I expect
you to starve his little ass out.

Be back in a couple
days, and so will you.

We running a business, D.

We selling to whoever's buying.

With all due respect, I
ain't even talking to you.

Now, n*gga, I done
did right by you. Huh?

Helped you set up Franklin's
two little b*tches.

Now you get to repay the favor.

OG, you ain't get your cut of that sh*t.

Oh, I see.

n*gg*s ain't got no more
f*cking loyalty anymore? Huh?

Or is it you got your little
bitch calling the sh*ts?

Excuse me?

- Give me a minute.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, y'all. Out.

Hey, man.

That sh*t between you and Leon...

... we ain't getting
in the middle of that.

n*gga, you ain't listening.

Ain't gonna be no more
f*cking Leon when I'm done.

Yeah, you a bad m*therf*cker,

- I know.
- BIG D: Mm-hmm.

But what after that?

What you mean?

sh*t go back to normal.
Business as usual.

Ain't nothing normal about
this g*dd*mn business.

The truth is, this
sh*t getting worse, man.

And I ain't talking about police.

Talking about these young n*gg*s.

Ain't got no respect, no code, no honor.

They ain't us.

We a dying breed.

OG,

that's you.

Dying breed.

That ain't me.

[SCOFFS]

Everything okay?

Jerome?

I'm out.

Where you going?

Out.

What? Jerome, where are you going?!

You can't go out by yourself.

I'm really sorry, Mrs. Saint.

Don't apologize for

But you can't save everybody.

The sooner you learn that,
the sooner you'll find peace.

You know...

when Franklin's daddy was around,

and he was helping me when I was down,

he would say...

"Some people just need to
be taught to accept help."

That it's like learning anything else.

Alton was a very compassionate man.

- Saw the best in everyone.
- Well, so do you.

[CISSY LAUGHS]

Really, that's why I wanted to
work here in the first place.

The way you keep fighting

for your family...

for your community...

I ain't never met
nobody like that before.

Makes me think that could be me.

Maybe one day I could be like that.

You're amazing, you know that?

Your ability to just heal

in the midst of... all of this sh*t.

Maybe I should be more like you.

- How you been, man?
- Come on, man.

Hey, she running a little rough.

I said, "Let me take
her to the magician.

Get her purring again."

Yeah, well, you know,

- we're kind of backed up today.
- Hmm.

Why don't you hit me up next
week, make an appointment?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You know I'm-a take care of you.

Right.

All right, you can leave her here.

Check back in in a few hours.

I got you.

You know, I ain't had my hands
up under the hood in a long time.

I'm-a stay here.

Help you out. You got
something to drink?

Got some brown for you.

COLONEL: How long did it last?

Oh, off and on for ten years.

We didn't even bother getting a divorce.

I just couldn't stand
to look at that man

long enough to sign the papers.

How about you?

When she left,

I never thought to try again.

Mm. [CHUCKLES] Yeah.

I guess we went in different directions.

I kept looking for men to replace

my, uh, my daughter's father.

I just wanted her to have a real parent.

[CLEARS THROAT] All my
life, things came easy.

But being a mother,

oof, kicked my ass.

And by the time I figured
out how to do it right...


it was too late.

My daughter didn't need me anymore.

She didn't even want me around.

COLONEL: I saw your
daughter at the home.


You have a kid that cares enough

to make sure you're taken care of.

Made me wish I had
fixed things with my boy

before it all went off the rails.

For whatever it's worth,

it seems like you did a good
job raising your daughter.

[PLANE ENGINE POWERING DOWN]

- Hi.
- Mmm. How we doing?

- Ask me again in a couple hours.
- [PAGER BEEPING]

Oh.

Everything okay?

I'm just getting all these

Anything you need to

Nah.

- Let's go.

Hell nah.

This the year.

Ain't no way Boston gonna

get by Magic, Kareem, Worthy.

The way my kids see
Magic, they just light up.

- They get stars in they eyes.
- [CHUCKLES]

They probably throwing them no
look pass through the kitchen window.

Ooh. Hook sh*ts into the chandelier.

[BOTH GRUNT, LAUGH]

Hey, how many kids you got now?

- Aw, boy, I just had my third.
- [PAGER BEEPING]

Little girl.

Man, if you got to go, man,
we almost done here.

- Get you up out of here.
- Nah, man, I'm all right.

Three kids, huh?

From the man that said he
was never gonna settle down.

sh*t. I said a whole lot
of sh*t back in the day.

Your boys know what you used to be into?

How you got this little shop?

They don't give a f*ck
about no ancient history.

Nah, you was smart.

Got your stack.

Made good use of it.

I never got to thank
you for what you did,

bringing that business
through Jammin' Jeromes.

Ain't no thang but a chicken wing.

I was happy to do it.

[MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY THROUGH CAR RADIO]

Pretty sure that's the
second time I've seen

that boy drive around here.

Yeah?

What if it was?

Ey, ey, ey, come on, man! Jerome!

- Come on, Jerome!
- Come on what?!

Come on what?

I love you, brother.

But maybe it's best
that you wasn't here.

You love me, man?

Hmm?

You got two g*dd*mn cars in here.

Talking about you ain't got the time.

I'm sorry, brother.

But I got people who need
me to come home tonight.

[DISTANT SIRENS WAILING]

Yeah. Sure thing.

Sure thing, man.

Hey, look, man, let me help you out.

I got it. I'm good.

COLONEL: You see, that's what
I appreciate about the service.

You know, you-you can tell everything
you need to know about a guy

by what he wears on his chest.

I always wanted to be
like my old man's brother.

Oof.

He was an Army Ranger.

CASSANDRA: Mm.

Men feared him.

That's a strange thing to want.

COLONEL: Well, it's not
just that. [CLEARS THROAT]

It was the respect that came with it.

You fight so hard...

you know, to be about something.

To be a g*dd*mn man.

But then, one day,
no matter what you do,

somebody else has to wipe your ass.

[CHUCKLES]

- [VEHICLE APPROACHING]
- What?

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

You feel like a man to me.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

It's your daughter.

And my son-in-law.

I guess, uh,

our time has come to a close.

Sorry to break up the party.

You know, a lot of people
been looking for y'all two.

Penny had nothing to do with this.

This is all on me.

I convinced her to run off.

It's okay. We're just glad you're okay.

Honey, do you want to call
the home and let them know

we have the fugitives in hand, hmm?

- Yeah, sure. Yeah.
- Hmm.

Intense kid, huh?

Hmm.

Reminds me of my kid.

You think it's part of his cover?

I don't think so. This
feels too personal.

A h*m* KGB agent.

It's a dangerous secret.

It's a dangerous man.

He's got something to hide.

He's desperate.

There's got to be someplace else, right?

Someplace that he works out
of, so I think we need him

under -hour surveillance
from here on in.

What's going on?

We were just talking
about your new friend.

Nothing from him?

Nel.

[PAGER BUZZING]

HAVEMEYER: What?

It's a Kansas City area code.

You've got family in Kansas City, right?

- [PICKS UP PHONE]

[PHONE RINGING]

Figured that area code
would get your attention.

Franklin?

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm all right.

Better than I've been
in a while, actually.

Yeah, that's great.

What's going on?

Took a little trip today.

Out to beautiful Kansas City.

Got any recommendations?

Figured I'd treat your
old man to some dinner.

After I get my cash, of course.

- You have my father?
- Mm-hmm.

He in the next room.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER]

Oh, and, uh, if you don't believe me,

call Glenway Meadows.

They'll tell you nobody's seen him

since this morning,
when he absconded with a Black woman.


Okay.

So, what's your plan here, buddy?

If I don't give you cash or else

you're gonna k*ll him,
right? That's the play?


'Cause I can tell you right,
that's not gonna work out for you.

You should have done
your f*cking research.

I don't give two shits about that man.

And even if I did, what do you
think it's gonna do to your future...

- you k*ll a CIA officer's father, huh?
- [WOMEN LAUGH]

MAC: [LAUGHS] Yeah. I
remember telling him...

[MAC SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

All right, you know what,
why don't you pu-put him on the phone?

Yeah, just put him on the phone.
Let me talk to him.


I will get you out of this.

My accounts are the
same as when you took it.

Call William.

Tell him to transfer it all back.

Do it now, and your pops
gets to walk out of here


like nothing happened.

You don't want to do this.

This is the last time I'm
gonna say this to you, Teddy.

Send me my m*therf*cking money.

- Do it right now.
- MAC [IN DISTANCE]: He actually thought...

That's not how it works.
There's a process, even if I could...

- Wrong answer.
- MAC: He was the most incompetent soldier

- I remember.
- [WOMEN LAUGH]


- [GRUNTS, GURGLES]
- [WOMEN GASP]

What the f*ck?
Uh, what was that? Hey, Franklin.

f*ck did you just do?

- You still want to talk to him?
- [MAC WHEEZING]

Go ahead, Teddy.

Talk to your pops.

[RAGGED EXHALE]

Hey, Dad.

Dad, can you hear me?

No.

Yeah, I don't think
he can hear you,
Teddy.

This is what's gonna happen.

Transfer my f*cking money.

Or next I'm-a go after your woman.

Then your kid, Paul.

And any m*therf*cker you care about.

I'll bleed them.

Just like I did your daddy.

[CLATTERING]

Think he just k*lled my father.

Get out.
