Ghost: Previously on Power...

I'd be glad to have you on the team.

It's only temporary until Milan is ready to move again.

[g*nsh*t]

You give me the identity of Ghost, and you and I will never have to see each other again.

Transfer papers for Ruiz?

No, Felipe Lobos.

Thomas, I will be able to spread my wings again, but before that happens, I need your help opening the cage.

What did you do?

The Jamaicans.

No!

You didn't do it.

So I hired them myself.

Man: Who's the target?

Holly: James St. Patrick.


[g*nsh*t]

James, go. We got this.

[Yells]

What happened?

It was Holly.

Lobos hired me to k*ll you, said he'd do her... Her and me if I didn't, but I still didn't do it.

We got to k*ll Lobos... together.

Together.

Tommy, you slept out here, man?

[Coughs]

I'm all right.

Grab the keys, brother.

Come on, buddy. I got you.

Get the keys.

Tommy, you just had them downstairs, man.

I know that I got them somewhere.

Check your pant pocket.

Come on. Let's get you cleaned up.

I'll put a pot of coffee on.

We got work to do.

Come on, buddy.

We should be transporting Lobos in an armored t*nk.

The Jimenez have shown they're not afraid to strike on U.S. territory, so what's to stop them now?

Jerry, the Jimenez think Lobos is dead.

Hardly anyone outside of this room knows he's alive.

A large transport will only call attention to itself.

So what's the other option?

We stay off the main roads, keep the move as quiet and inconspicuous as possible.

Is there a civilian vehicle we could use?

A civilian vehicle?

Yeah, the Bureau of Prisons has an undercover van modified for prisoner transport.

The rear conceals the prisoner and our personnel.

Lobos exits our facility confidentially.

He wears a GPS tracker the entire operation.

So we would know where he is at all times?

Yeah, we can track him from this office.

How's that sit with you, Donovan?

If we're doing this low-key, I need men I know I can trust on the ground.

No offense.

Agent Knox, get the fellows ready.

I want you to run point.

Yes, sir. I'll handle it.

Then it's settled.

Let's get started.

I handled the coordination with Anglin's people at the BOP and the FBI.

Everyone will monitor the transfer from our conference room.

In a way, I can't believe it.

The task force is almost over.

We transfer Lobos to D.C., and this is all behind us, right?

All behind us.

Hugo's got a crew I'ma hook up with, and I don't know how many guys.

He's not what you'd call a communicator.

So you link up with Hugo's crew as planned.

I'll help ambush them, take over the prison break.

Lobos won't know what hit him.

Yeah, well, we got to be off the grid all day.

I mean, Kate'll lie for me in exchange for enough coke.

What you gonna do about an alibi?

I hear you're living with Angela now.

Karen. I could use Karen.

You already got a side bitch on your side bitch?

No, Tommy, Karen's an investor.

She's got a property up on the Hudson.

If I stay there overnight, then I can just tell Angela I was away on a business trip.

Perfect.

Nothing suspicious about Lobos going missing on the exact day you happen to be out of town.

Tommy, you listening?

Angela will believe me.

You're so f*cking sure about that.

[Pounding on door]

One second.

What's up, Tasha? You good?

Tasha: What's up? I'm good.

And where the hell is Holly?

I've been texting your girl all morning.

What the...

Hey, T.

I thought you two weren't talking.

We worked some sh*t out.

Mm-hmm.

Overnight.

Yeah.

What the hell is going on?

Thing is, we got to do something real big, T.

Yo, yo, yo. Tommy, we don't need to involve her.

You got a better idea?

We need her, Ghost.

Need me for what?

Hey, Dean.

How's Tariq?

Tariq's fine.

Three men were k*lled right in front of you.

He didn't see any of it.

Look, I appreciate what you did.

I really do, but I gave you explicit instructions not to follow me.

Well, I had a hunch, and it paid off.

You and your son are alive because of it.

And I appreciate it, once again.

Whoever tried to k*ll you won't stop because we thwarted one attempt.

Now, you know who it was, and you know why they tried to hurt you.

If it happens again, I won't have a choice.

I'll have to go to the authorities.

It won't happen again.

So you plan to handle it on your own?

Listen, Dean.

My plan is to not share my plan with you.

Do not follow me again. Clear?

Sir, sorry to interrupt.

Uh, Karen Bassett's here to see you.

It's all good. We're done here.

Hello, James.

Hey, Karen.

Thanks for coming in.

Pleasure. What did you want to talk about?

Um, I just wanted to ask you if you were willing to move our special meeting tomorrow to, uh, the Odette on the Hudson.

Okay.

I just thought maybe I could spend the night, learn the Bassett experience from the inside out, you know?

Understand your system and the way it works and...

I don't know, while I finalize my ideas.

You're taking this seriously.

I have to.

I'm always looking towards the future.

Aren't you?

No phones. We're f*cked if we got phones.

You know they can track that sh*t even if it's off.

Okay, we ditch the phones for the day.

I'm surprised that you could be disconnected from the club for that long.

Uh, Tommy, can you please use this before you slice your hand open?

You know what?

Why don't I use this before I slice my hand?

That sh*t works.

Mm.

Get out of here.

So Kate's gonna be his alibi?

Why not Holly?

Holly's a bad idea, Tash.

Tasha: What happened? They break up?

She told him about the baby.

He f*cked it up, right?

That's why he called you.

He didn't say much. He didn't want to talk about it.

She's definitely not gonna keep it now.

I feel bad. I told her to tell him.

No wonder she's not texting me back.

Ghost: Look, Tash, can he crash here tonight?

If he leaves, I'm afraid we're gonna find him toasting to the sunrise at O'Malley's, you know this.

All right? Thank you.

I got to go. Running late.

Angela expecting you?

Part of the plan, Tasha.

All part of the plan. Good night, T.

Good night, Tommy.

Good night, Ghost.

Hey, Tash, got any more food?

Usual sh*t, Ghost!

Leaving me with the mess.

Tommy: Tasha.

Hey.

Hey.

Going somewhere?

Remember that pitch meeting I had with Karen Bassett?

Well, she invited me to spend tomorrow night at her hotel so I could learn the lay of the land.

Spend the night for a pitch meeting?

[laughs]

You should come.

I would love to.

But not tomorrow.

I've got a big day at work, and that is all I can say.

Okay.

Well, I'll say this.

When the deal happens with Karen Bassett...

And it will...

You and I, Miss Thing, we're gonna be jet-setting all over this big wide world.

London, Paris, even Tokyo.

You know what?

Hmm.

I'll let you be my general counsel.

That's a completely different kind of law, Jamie.

[laughs]

But you gonna learn.

Am I?

Uh-huh.

You're gonna learn that we're gonna be in the clubs at night.

We're gonna be sleeping during the day.

And in between...

Oh, right, like we would ever take a break to sleep.

Please, please tell me this isn't about Valdes.

Who else would it be?

[Chuckles]

We were, um, all pretty shaken up when we thought you bought it.

Oh, Jesus, thanks.

That's sweet, Saxe.

Uh, shut up.

Like I said, we were all spooked, but Valdes was practically crying like a... human woman.

For effect.

Mm, looked pretty real to me.

You guys back in the sack?

No.

Well, then, now that you're wounded, I'm thinking you might be able to get back in there.

Like a Purple Heart, but you know, p*ssy.

[Knocks]

Ah.

Hey.

Dean, thanks for coming in.

Pleasure.

Look, I called you down to let you know that I no longer need your services.

In my experience, when you save the life of a man and that of his son, they keep you close.

What's different about this situation?

I don't have to explain myself to you, first of all.

You finally k*lled Lobos.

What'd you say?

What language is that?

Wait, how do you know the code?

You have many questions.

And tell me, which is right question to begin with?

Who the f*ck do you think you are?

Wrong. Who are you, and do I know?

[With Serbian accent] Yes, I do, Jamie St. Patrick.

Look, Ghost.

I know who you are.

Club owner, father, adulterer, drug dealer, thief.

Did you get my message?

Do you know what you have taken from me?

You're Serbian, and this has to do with Vladimir and his crew.

And the shipment that you and Tommy intercepted and left for the police, my dr*gs.

Sit.

Milan.

Nice to meet you.

And all this time, you were working for me.

You were so concerned with Lobos that you neglected me.

It's very selfish.

You took from me what was mine.

You owe me, Ghost.

You got close to me.

You hired your f*cking men to protect me, but you're not gonna k*ll me.

'Cause you have value, you and Tommy, and I need you to go to work for me to replace what you have stolen.

Why now, Milan, huh?

I got nothing left.

I got no network. I got no supplies.

I'm out of the f*cking game.

I know how you think.

You will stall and deal with me like you did Lobos, but first remember my security team is in your clubs.

We know your home, your family, Angela.

You can k*ll me, but it is of no consequence, 'cause I am not Lobos, and my organization does not die with me.

Call Tommy and tell him it's time to go back to work.

Do not worry.

You are very safe.

For now.

I did hear you say Milan, right?

The m*therf*cker who eats people?

For sure?

Yo, he's been working for you this whole time?

f*ck, Ghost, where's your head at?

It was seamless, man.

He didn't miss a f*cking b*at.

And we just took out one sicko yesterday.

I'm not emotionally prepared to work for another psychopath.

Okay, brother, look, I hear you.

That's why we f*cking need to k*ll him.

k*ll him?

Yeah, k*ll him.

You want to k*ll Milan?

You know anything about him or his crew?

No. How about his turf, his organization?

No. f*ck.

I mean, he's been working for you for this long?

I bet you don't even know what kind of car he drives.

Tommy, we are lucky to be alive, man.

We're sitting here f*cking talking, and the only reason we're not dead is because he needs us.

No, you are lucky.

I'm not the m*therf*cker that k*lled Vladimir.

f*ck Vladimir.

He don't give a f*ck about Vladimir.

He told me himself. Listen to me, man.

He's talking about his shipment, all right?

That m*therf*cker said we're going back to work for him to pay him back.

You want to get back to hustling?

I have to.

How exactly are you planning on pulling it off living with a fed?

You're gonna have to wake up with her every morning... and lie to her, lie to her all God damn day, lie to her every night.

It's never gonna f*cking work.

So you're saying I can't pull it off?

No, she took you back because she thought that you was clean.

As soon as she finds out that you got back in the game, she gonna turn you in.

No, she won't.

No, but that's not even your big f*cking problem.

Your big f*cking problem is that she's your soft spot.

She's your weakness.

They can go on after her to get to you.

Dean knows everything about me.

Milan.

He knows everything about me, which means he can get to my family, Tommy.

He can make Tasha and the kids f*cking target practice.

Yeah, well, Tasha got a head on a swivel.

She a m*therf*cking G. She got your kids on lock.

Now, but Angela, she's a liability.

You can't even tell her that the Serbians are after her.

Now, I think that we should've k*lled that bitch a long time ago, but we didn't, so here we are.

She either catches you, puts you in jail, or she don't but Milan catches her.

Yeah.

But if you take her out, you could make sure that she don't suffer.

'Cause if Milan gets a hold of her...

I can't believe I'm saying this.

But if everything that Vladimir told me about Milan is true, my God.

Even I don't think Angela deserves that.

I'll handle it.

I'll be here when you get back.

Finally, you're home.

Hey, baby.

How was your day?

Okay.

You don't seem okay, and I'm certainly not okay.

Tell me about that... you know, that part of the future where we fly around the world.

That'll make us feel better.

Jamie, what's wrong?

Our future together flying around the world, it's not gonna happen, baby.

Something went wrong with Karen?

Something's wrong.

Been wrong.

I was just too out of it to see.

You know, Angie, yesterday Tariq ran away.

He's back now, but I wasn't there.

At some point, my kids have to be what's most important.

As they should be.

Jamie, I've never asked you to choose between your kids and me.

What are you saying?

You know what I'm saying.

You separated from Tasha. I saw the papers.

And now I know that was a mistake.

A mistake?

You love me. I know you do.

You told me so.

And... and I meant it, you know? When I said it, I meant it.

I wanted to love you. I wanted to dream.

Why are you doing this?

But that was our 15-year-old dream.

Maybe we've outgrown that dream.

Now, you love me, this me standing here right now asking you?

Not the version of me you put together in your head 20 years ago but this me.

You love this me?

Yes, I love you. You know that.

Tariq running away means that all of a sudden, our feelings for each other aren't real?

This doesn't make sense.

Tariq running away made me realize what I have to lose, okay, in the real world, not in a fantasy world.

Angela, do you really trust your 15-year-old self to make decisions for the rest of your life?

I trust the way I feel about you, the way I've always felt about you.

Everything I've done for you, I've done for us, and I would do it again.

Angie, if we were meant to be together, you think it would be this hard?

I came into the club, didn't I?

Wasn't that meant to be?

It's the right decision, okay?

Obviously, you don't see that now, but I know one day you will.

Take care of yourself.

There's something you're not telling me.

What do you want me to tell you?

The truth.

Tell me the truth.

We can't be together, Angie.

It's the right decision.

Jamie, I love you.

I know.

Good-bye, Angie Valdes.

[Angie sobbing]
