[D-MAC] Previously on Force...

- No! Leon!
- Look, Gianna, I-I'm sorry.

Get the f*ck outta my house.

[GRUNTING]

- When you gonna handle D-Mac?
- We go after that kid right now,

and Tommy gon' blow all this sh*t up.

f*ck Tommy! I really need
to pull off a boss move

that's gonna show these n*gg*s
that I deserve to be back in.

I was told you're the best hitter.

- Who's the target?
- Tommy f*ck' Egan.

Miguel, have you lost your f*ck' mind?

- You cannot keep me here.
- f*ck yeah, I can.

[IN SPANISH]

You're not my f*ck' sister.

[CHAN] You and Ortega
are business partners

until I tell you otherwise.

Wait. Can you guarantee me protection?

Tommy and CBI are taking over
the Viagra Triangle.

Those clubs belong to me.

Your luck's running out, Claudia.

Look at this as your last chance
to buy some more time.

You gonna tell the feds
everything I want them to know,

and you gonna get everything
from them that I wanna know.

Our office is beginning
the vetting process.

- What about Bobby?
- Bobby's good.

- [MAN] You've been served.
- [STACY] Divorce papers.

[DONNA] We are all excited
that you have decided

to run for mayor, Stacy.

All right, Rae.

Let's schedule this press conference

so that we can formally announce.

Yes, ma'am.

Who's that girl? Rae?

- I'm Rae Thompson.
- I'm Jayson.

[g*nf*re]

- I'm okay.
- [TOMMY] Find that sh**ter.

Ortega! I got your sh**ter.

That hit from Marquez?

Has been motherfuckin' handled.

They're the cartel.

They're gonna come after all of us!

Look man, it was a problem.
It was dealt with.

No money loss. We good.

I gotta do right now.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

g*dd*mn, D.

This mean we gettin' ready
to go to w*r or what?

Not yet.

But between Tommy and Ortega,

this sh*t can pop off at any second.

And I don't want you, me, or
the fellas to end up like Chavo.

All right. I'ma be real,

this whole Ortega situation
got trainwreck

written all over it, bro.

Yeah, it sure does.
And if that train does wreck,

we gon' need Kilo and the RDs
on our side, a hundred percent.

And that's why we need
to handle D-Mac today.

Uh, yeah. That's, uh...

that's a problem, D.

We take out D-Mac right now,
after that Chavo hit,

and it won't just be Tommy
on our a*s, bro.

It's gonna be our own n*gg*s too.

They gon' be on our a*s, D.

So I say we just hold off on that sh*t,

till this Marquez situation
is dealt with.

We don't have that much time.

[g*n c*ck]

Now I already know what to do.

We gon' have D-Mac
knock over the Nine-Sevens.

[SCOFFS] The Nine-Sevens?

n*gga, you talkin' 'bout them
crazy m*therf*ckers from Austin?

Yeah, nah.

- I don't see the fix, D.
- [DIAMOND] Hear me out.

Nobody f*ck with the Nine-Sevens

because they got cops protectin'
their organization, right?

No. Nobody f*ck with them Nine-Sevens

because they're crazier than
a m*therf*cker, like I said.

And that's my point.

But now that sh*t's poppin' off...

A hit on them make it look like
n*gg*s gettin' desperate.

- You right.
- Exactly.

So all you gotta do is sell it to D-Mac

that a hit on the Nine-Sevens is nothing

but a retaliation plan or some sh*t.

Then we put a call into the Nine-Sevens,

let 'em know the hit is happening.

D-Mac tries to hit, he gets bodied.

- Hm.
- We keep the coalition tight,

Kilo, RDs all included.

g*dd*mn, n*gga, this sh*t might work.

Look at you.
Hey, you hittin' a new stride.

I'm proud of you, n*gga.

Now, no one can sell this
to D-Mac like you.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

W-what you mean "out"?

We're out.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

All right, let me explain
something to you.

If you out, that means
you get none of our product.

You ain't get our product,
that means you get no cash.

No cash, you can't feed your soldiers,

you got no friends,
you got no protection.

So is you sure you out?

I know you ain't workin'
with the Insane Princes.

'Cause there's no coming back
from that, Pablo.

That'd be the end
of the United Kings in Chicago.

Not my decision.
We had a roundtable last night.

Nobody wants to be another
dead body in a cartel w*r.

It was unanimous. We ain't
f*ck' wit' your product.

Pablo, you need to recognize that CBI

is operating in the city in a new way.

We got a coalition
that will drive Ortega's a*s

clean up outta Chicago,

and keep the streets
that our families earned

within our control.

So stay with us and keep the
coalition as strong as possible.

Neither of you can ever understand.

For us, a cartel w*r
doesn't stop in Chicago.

It'll hit our families in Mexico.

And that's a risk we won't take.

So we're takin' our chances alone.

Like I said, it's already been decided.

Ortega's lawyer just filed a motion

There was a mistake on the warrant.

No f*cking way.

- Yeah.
- That sh*t was bulletproof.

Bullshit clerical error.

There was a wrong digit in the address.

Now how'd that get f*cked up, Tseng?

You drafted the warrant, didn't you?

I wrote down exactly what
you told me, and you signed it.

It's on the both of us.

Maybe if you hadn't blown past everyone
to make that raid happen.

Going after Egan.

I'm sorry, Stac. I didn't mean that.

[TSENG] No, no, no. We all rushed.

For Vargas.

You're not wrong, Hardwick.

This raid has cost us a lot,

and now it's like
it never even happened.

Egan is still out there, and Bobby is...

Maybe I did f*ck it up.

And that's exactly why we need
to work together as a team.

We shouldn't take our eyes off Egan.

Tseng, you file for a motion to suppress

It doesn't.

Ortega found out that
