[FUNKY HIP-HOP BEAT LAYERS IN]

[DRU] Previously on Ghost.

My family is in serious trouble.

[g*nsh*t]

[TARIQ] Everything's taken care of.

Thank you, Tariq.

You know I'll do anything
for you and that baby.

- I told you to handle it.
- f*ck this.

f*ck you. Get the f*ck down there.

- Wait! Please don't.
- [YELLING]

Tariq k*lled Zion?

How the f*ck would you know that?

I cleared the server.
That's the only copy.

I'll hold on to this. You go home.

[GRUNTING]

You get me the leverage
I need to go against Noma,

and maybe I change this m*rder
to a f*cking accident.

An accident?

- I know.
- What the f*ck really happened?

Tariq St. Patrick and Monet Tejada

said you're after me.

[NOMA] Common enemy.

Why not common goal?

[g*nsh*t]

You sure this is
the guy who k*lled Kamaal?

Run ballistics on this g*n.

We find the match that k*lled Kamaal,

and then we get Tate off our asses.

- Now you good with that?
- Yeah, I'm good with that.

[TASHA] I need you to show me

that you can do better
than your parents.

I just want us to be together again.

I ain't forget the
promise I made to you, ma.

It's time for Carter and Noma to go.

Being that Cane and Noma
are getting married,

I say that's the day we
take our shot at her.

[DAVIS] And Detective Carter?

[DRU] Confession at Saint Michael's.

You gotta do better than them
punk a*s Russians, my guy.

[GRUNTING]

[CARTER] Get your a*s in the car.

[ENGINES RACING]

[METAL CRUNCHING]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

B, what the f*ck did we just do?

[BRAYDEN] This m*therf*cker
had us on tape.

The f*ck you gonna do now, Tariq?

[PASTOR] I now pronounce
you man and wife.

I need you to choose.

- [MONET] Where's Cane?
- [DIANA] He's still inside.

Where the f*ck are your cousins?

[DRU] Noma got 'em.

We'll go around back.
You take the f*ck' side.

[CANE] Monet is the only person,

the only one that
was there to protect me.

Monet is my blood.

I'm never goin' against my mother.

f*ck yourself.

[g*nf*re]

- [CANE] Get me out!
- [DRU] Ma!

[WEAKLY] My babies.

[CANE] It's okay, ma. Wait.

[DIANA WAILING] No, ma!

Don't do this. Please don't.

[DRU'S VOICE ECHOING] Wake up,
mami. Wake up, wake up, wake up.

[ETHEREAL VOICE VOCALIZING]

[OFFICER] I'm sorry for your loss.

Did you see who shot Monet?

No.

[OFFICER #2] Guests told me
Monet wasn't at the ceremony.

When did she get here?

I don't-I don't know.

[NICO] So your bride
ditches you and then disappears.

- And you don't know why?
- Yeah, you heard me.

I said I didn't see anything.

We just found the body lying there.

[NICO] Can you think of any reason

why someone would want to hurt Monet?

- Nah.
- That's surprising,

since she's been accused of being

a murderous drug dealer
who had that sh*t comin'.

What the f*ck you say?

How about y'all stop treatin' us

like we're f*ck' criminals

and find out who k*lled my mother.

Huh?

[SHOUTING] Do your f*ck' jobs!

It doesn't seem like you're
f*ck' helpin' me, B.

[ BRAYDEN] Okay,
well, if he arrested you,

it would have been over.
I had to think fast.

Tariq, how are you gonna
get out of this one, brother?

- Shut the f*ck up.
- This is you thinking?

[CARTER] Tariq.

I didn't see you come up
with a f*cking plan, now, did I?

Yeah, well, my plan is to dust
this m*therf*cker off the board.

Tariq, hold the f*ck on. Tariq!

Okay brother, you gotta
think about this now.

You k*ll me and my video of you
and f*ck boy killin' Zion,

Well, that goes public,
and your life is over.

You keep me here,

and the entire NYPD will not stop

until they f*ck' find you.
It's just a matter of time.

Either way, you're f*cked.

So I'm gonna ask you again.

What the f*ck are you gonna do?

- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CELL PHONE BUZZING]

- Attaboy.
- [CELL PHONE BUZZING]

[BRAYDEN] The f*ck are you going?

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Yo.

Davis, we're f*cked.

Carter has a video of me
and Brayden killin' Zion.

Well, it gets f*cking worse.

- Monet's dead.
- What?

What the f*ck are you talkin' about?

Hell no, that's not possible.

Well, her body's in the morgue
full of b*llet holes.

So I say it's real f*cking possible.

And Noma managed to slip
through the Tejada's fingers.

My money's on she did it.

f*ck.

So I'm just stuck here with Carter

until I figure some sh*t out.

Carter has something on you.

Then you need to get something on him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Level the playing field.

Exactly.

No way a cop that dirty doesn't
have skeletons in his closet.

[TARIQ] A'ight. I'll call you back.

Wait. Hey.

Be careful, okay?

We can't afford another f*ck up.

[EXHALES SHARPLY] Yo, Effie, B.

- [CARTER] Talk to him, Brayden.
- Shut the f*ck up!

sh*t is getting worse.

Monet is f*ck' dead, y'all.

- What?
- Yeah.

- How?
- Got shot.

Davis sayin' Noma did it and got away.

f*ck.

Seemed like she was bulletproof.

Cane and the Tejadas are
probably so f*cked up right now.

f*ck Cane and the Tejadas.

Noma's comin' for us.
You know that, right?

Either way, we need to do
somethin' all right?

We have his key.

That means we need
to get in his house,

get that video and destroy it.
Then we could k*ll him.

If we don't get that video,
we gotta...

we gotta come up with some other
dirt on the m*therf*cker's name.

f*ck.

[KEYS CLATTER]

[CANE EXHALES SHARPLY]

[CANE] Fu-

I can't believe she's gone.

sh*t don't feel real.

Monet held us out our whole lives.

What are we supposed
to do without her?

I don't know.

I mean, ain't this is
what y'all wanted?

n*gga, what the f*ck are
you talkin' about?

You know what I'm talkin' about.

Y'all went in there to k*ll
Noma behind my back.

What the f*ck was y'all thinkin'?

What were we thinkin'?

Cane, we did it to save our family.

What f*ck' family?

Every time y'all do some sh*t
and leave me out,

it gets f*cked up.

You left yourself out

when you decided to go play
house with Noma.

Oh, I know you ain't talkin'.

Ma had to beg me not to k*ll
you after what you did.

For all I know, this sh*t tonight

was you two tryin' to finish
what you started.

Y'all probably sent
Monet in there to die.

You know, we went in there
lookin' for you.

What the f*ck happened Cane, hmm?

How is it that Monet is dead

and you're sittin' here
right in front of me?

- Dru, stop!
- No, no, no, f*ck that sh*t.

Monet is dead,

because she went in
tryin' to save you.

So Monet is dead, because of you!

[CANE EXHALES SHARPLY]

She should have just let me go.

Monet would never give up
on you like that.

You know that.

Ma told me not to trust that b*tch.

Maybe I could have stopped her.

Maybe it is my fault that mom is dead.

[QUIETLY] f*ck.

Noma k*lled Monet, period.

And Ma wouldn't want
us arguin' like this.

We are all we have left.

What's in the past is the past.
Let that sh*t go.

We decide what happens next.

So let's finish what we started.

We track Noma down
and we k*ll that b*tch.

Hey, Tariq, let me ask
you a question, man.

Um, how do you-how do you do it?

How do you get your friends

wrapped so tight around your
little finger that they, uh,

well, they willin' to lose
their lives for you?

Hmm?

And how do you live with the fact that

everybody you know ends up dead?

Shut the f*ck up!

[CARTER SIGHS]

Hey, listen, I'm gonna
do you a favor, all right?

These cuffs, they got
my shoulder's feelin' mad tight,

so why don't you come over here,
work out some of these knots,

and I'll think about droppin'

that first degree m*rder
charge down to a second.

I mean, maybe, just maybe,

that way you'll get out of prison

with enough time to have
your own babies to disappoint.

Shut your motherfuckin' mouth!

Ah, Diana's baby was your baby.

I thought it might be.

I wasn't sure.

I'm sorry for your loss, brother.

Then again, the life you lead
means constant loss.

So, you got to know that by now, right?

[CARTER CHUCKLES]

By the way, how's your mother?

- Shut your f*ck' mouth!
- Oh, oh f*ck.

Oh.

[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

Yo, I think Carter's,

like, obsessed with
his dead wife or something.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Yo, you think he wears
her clothes on the weekends

- on like, some psycho sh*t?
- Oh, sh*t.

- [EFFIE] I found it.
- [BRAYDEN] You did?

Oh, f*ck.

Look at this.

Oh, f*ck.

- Can-can you delete this?
- I don't think so.

Carter has access to
his work computer from home,

- but it's read only.
- So we can't get rid of it?

Not unless you have someone
on the inside.

It's the only way.

f*ck.

Well, unless having
a creepy a*s shrine

dedicated to your dead wife
is a crime,

we don't have sh*t.

Wait.

This is everything that
Carter looks at, at work

and all the files he accesses.

But for some reason, he keeps
going back to this one file.

[BRAYDEN] Holy sh*t, Kamaal Tate.

That's Rashad Tate's brother.
The cop that was k*lled.

[EFFIE] This doesn't make any sense.

The official investigation was closed

when they determined
it was a Russian hit.

Like some retaliation
for that warehouse raid.

But, that isn't right
because I was there.

They wiped the Russians, so they ran.

They weren't lookin'
for some f*cking cop to k*ll.

Okay, but cops lie.
What the f*ck else is new?

Can we prove it?

Carter signed off on this himself.

It's not much, but...

- It's all we really got.
- Right.

sh*t.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Yo!

Please tell me you
deleted that f*cking video.

Carter's got it on
a computer at his office.

There's no way to delete it from here.

f*ck.

[BRAYDEN] But I think we got
something else we could use.

[METAL CHAIR DRAGGING ON CONCRETE]

Let me guess, no luck.

[TARIQ SIGHS]

I wonder if-if your wife
knew that she married a k*ller.

What the f*ck'd you say?

I mean, Denise.

Did she know the truth?

The truth?

Yeah.

The truth that you're a
f*ck' psychopath with a badge.

I mean, did Denise ever see
the real you, my guy? Like-

- Shut up, shut up.
- Is that why she's gone?

Is that why she died?

Don't f*ck' say her name again.

Look, how many innocent people
lost their f*ck' lives

because you had to cover your a*s,

Hm?

Does it really make you feel powerful

that you got Diana beat so f*ck' bad

that she lost her baby, man.

That was your baby.

And on the bright side,

we spared the world of
another degenerate criminal.

[GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

f*ck.

[GROANING]

Mm.

Mm.

Too soon?

You seem to forget,

that I'm the one that helped
you clean up Diana's mess.

Because I see the
bigger f*cking picture, Tariq.

n*gga, you covered that Felicia sh*t

to cover your own f*ck' a*s.

Yeah, I'm sure that wasn't
the first time, either.

Kamaal Tate, he was on your
task force, right?

One day he's alive,
next day he's gone.

What happened?

Oh, he must have found out
your little secret, right?

The Russians did that.

Just like they did me
and Monet, right?

God damn.

Denise really did marry a cop k*ller.

f*ck you.

That sh*t crazy Detective Carter.

[CARTER EXHALING]

[CARTER EXHALING]

Noma.

Any word?

The police have questioned

the man we have
stationed at your home.

So far, you do not appear
to be a suspect,

but you are wanted for questioning.

Well, I'm more concerned about
those f*cking Tejada children.

The look on Cane's face.

We have a flight scheduled
for this afternoon,

but we need to leave now.

Okay, I have new passports
for myself and Anya

at a safe deposit box that
we can pick up on the way.

Let's be ready in five minutes.

- Noma.
- What?

First Lombardi in Italy, and now this.

You are destroying
everything our family built.

Father should have never
brought you into this business.

Well, if you had the ba*ls that I do,

maybe he wouldn't have needed me.

Don't f*cking touch me!
Don't f*cking touch!

Mom, what the f*ck is going on?

Sweetheart,
we don't have time for this.

- We're going to Lagos and then-
- Lagos?

- Yes.
- Are you f*cking kidding me?

I've never been to Nigeria.

My life is here.

And now we're in danger here, Anya.

What part of that
don't you understand?

Any of it, Ma.
I don't understand any of it.

And unless you start telling me
the truth about what's going on,

I'm not going anywhere with you.

You've been lying to me
my entire life.

To keep you safe, Anya.

Mom, the only one putting
me in danger, is you.

And you know what makes it even worse?

Is you had the chance
to tell me the truth,

but instead, you lied right
to my f*cking face.

It's not dad's drug business, is it?

It's yours.

Wait outside.

Listen to me.

Every choice I've ever made-

Oh my God. Okay.

Please, mom. Enough of the bullshit.

- Listen to me.
- Can you just admit it, please?

Everything you do is
to protect yourself.

Because, God forbid,

the world find out you were
a f*cking drug dealer.

I don't care about the world, Anya.

I care about you.

I care about you.

I was ten years old

when I learned of our family business.

A rival g*ng came into
our home one day

when my father was away.

I didn't know what was happening.

Chinedu took me by the hand
and pulled me outside,

but not before I saw what
they did to my mother.

As I got older,

I vowed to never be in a
position so vulnerable again.

And anybody who stood in my way,

would come to know
the same pain that I knew.

But I never wanted that for you, Anya.

I never wanted you to know

the-the kind of monsters
that truly own this world.

- So you became one yourself?
- I did what was necessary.

And was it necessary for dad to die,

because of your business?

Yes.

Your father died
because he got in my way.

I didn't mean it like that.

No, I knew exactly what you meant.

- Anya, pl...
- Get the f*ck away from me.

It should have been you that died.

Okay, take a moment.

Calm yourself down.

We'll talk about it when I return.

But when I get back,
we're leaving here,

whether you like it or not.

I'll drag you out by the f*cking
ankles if I have to.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Yo! sh*t.

B was right.

Carter did k*ll that cop, Tate.

Yeah, how do we make that work for us?

We can figure out how
he covered his tracks.

Could use that.

Maybe it'll guarantee
him not burning us.

I gotta meet with Davis, though.

Davis?

Does he know something we don't?

I mean, he could get us the
records of the crime scene.

Who f*cking knows
how long that's gonna take?

Listen, that's Rashad Tate's brother.

You know how fast he wants
to figure out

who the f*ck k*lled him?

I mean, it's something.

Go.

We'll handle bad lieutenant over
here, all right?

Yeah.

What we got?

A whole lot. Davis came through.

This look familiar?

Ballistic reports of every
officer involved sh**ting

where you pulled the trigger.

Is that your plan?

To prove that I'm a cop
who holds his own?

[TARIQ CHUCKLES]

No, more like prove that every
single b*llet you fired out

of your service weapon
matches the ballistic evidence

from the Kamaal Tate crime scene.

But since the reports get
delivered through you first,

you thought you could cover up
the truth by making it seem

like the Russian's g*n
matched the Tate m*rder.

But you couldn't go back
to your old files.

They're right there
in black and white.

The ballistics match up.
You pulled the f*ck' trigger.

Wait, so, so that means

that we also have the g*n
that you used to k*ll Tate,

right?

It's tough.

This whole time,

you think you was f*ck' untouchable?

You got c*ck.

Now, look, we got everything
we need to destroy your a*s.

The second we send this to
Rashad Tate, you're done.

I'ma let you make a decision.

And you're kinda smart.

So, what's it gonna be, Don?

You wanna press your luck or what?

What do you want?

Mm.

We all walk away from this.

Nobody even knows we were here.

That Zion video never
sees the light of day,

and neither will this evidence.

And after that,
we all live to die another day.

How that sound?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

[TARIQ] A'ight then.

Uncuff him.

[NOMA] Anything?

- No?
- No, nothing.

She's nowhere on the grounds.

She may have been taken.

I want everyone out looking for her.

Anywhere the Tejadas
have ever been spotted.

You know, we don't know for
certain it was them.

Of course we f*cking do.

This feud you have with the
Tejada family

is not worth you losing your own.

We'll find Anya,

but first we have
to get you to safety.

I'm not leaving without her.

You're not staying here either.

- Watch me.
- Move.

Yes sir!

[NOMA BREATHING HEAVILY]

D.J. and Lifts said
they're ready to head back home.

You stay low y'all.

We ain't got no time to be
catchin' no case or no b*ll*ts.

All right, y'all go.
You already did enough.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

All right, love y'all

Love you.

- Love you too.
- Y'all be safe.

Look, did Anya say anything yet?

- She will.
- [DRU] Okay.

So now what the f*ck we gonna do?

I said she'll talk.

And then what Cane?

We've already blown
our cover with Noma.

Even if Anya tells us where she is,

she's still gonna see us comin' now.

Y'all, maybe there's another way.

- [DRU] This sh*t better work.
- [DIANA] It will.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I know what she meant to you.

[BRAYDEN] Yeah. Condolences.

Monet was a real one.

[CANE] And we appreciate that.

But we gonna need y'all

to put something real
behind those words.

We need Anya to give up
Noma's location.

I can help with that.

I just need something in return.

See, I told you this m*therf*cker

don't care about Monet.

Cane, just hear him out.

Look, Monet will always
have my respect,

all right?

Noma deserves everything

that's comin' for her.
I'm with you on that.

But that don't change the fact

that I still got to deal with Carter.

A'ight.

What do you need?

He got us on video Killin' Zion.

- Ah f*ck.
- Yeah.

[TARIQ] Place was rigged with cameras.

- Tariq, I am so sorry.
- It's all good.

You know, I bought us some time, though.

[TARIQ] We just need someone
to get into the station

and delete the video.

Think you could use
your access to Carter

to get into his office.

Maybe.

But how am I supposed to delete
the video from the database?

Thumb drive.

Put it in Carter's computer,

you run the program,
it'll wipe everything.

He wouldn't even know.

What y'all think?

It's a means to an end.

I'll do this.

You better make sure Anya talks.

Definitely.

Anya.

Tariq.

W-what are you doing here?

You should keep
your voice down, all right?

I'll explain everything later.

Wait, are you involved?

How did you even know I was here?

Look, your mother k*lled Monet, okay.

And if you don't get the f*ck
out of here right now,

they're gonna come k*ll you next.

- Come on.
- What are you talking-

Let's go Anya. Just trust me.

Come on. Let's go.

The same thing that got my dad k*lled.

Tariq, if our lives can't amount

to anything more than the sum
of our parents mistakes,

then what's the point?

We can choose to be better
than them, all right?

Not make the same
mistakes that they made.

Not if they don't give us a choice.

Like, I don't think I want to
have anything to do with my mom.

Well look Anya, right now,
the best chance you have

of making it out of this sh*t alive

is if I bring you to your mother.

So you don't really have a choice.

I'm sorry.

Of course.

No! f*ck it.

Fine, fine. f*ck it.

No, man. I'm just here to talk to him.

There's cameras everywhere.
She'll see me when I get out.

Just because I chose the life I live,

doesn't make me my father, you know?
