Post by bunniefuu »

I heard about Kev.

You don't know what really happened.

No?

You didn't sh**t and k*ll

my baby brother?

Kev was my family, too,

and I ain't got much left.

We can squash this beef here, right now.

He's gonna use his connect

to start at ten keys a week.

So you got him making money for you now?

Makes the world go round.

- And you trust him?
- End of the day,

he just want to look out for his family.

LOUIE: I want to buy directly from you.

Franklin know about this?

No.

Franklin is the answer.

In the end, only he can
bring your enemies down.

There's gonna be a wedding.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

Did you dose everybody with LSD?

You can't be a gangster and a family man.

In the end, you'll have to destroy us all.

CISSY: And all you have to offer is lies.

Dripped with honey.

FRANKLIN: You think
you have to k*ll me one day.

But before you do, I'm gonna k*ll you.

BUCKLEY: There's only one
thing you really need to know.

Once you press that button,

there's no turning back.

FRANKLIN: You were right,
I should've listened.

I should've treated you like a partner.

You know, it's not too late.

It is.

I've got to follow my own path now.

Hey.

How you holding up?

How would you be?

Kovatch is itching to talk to you.

Thought maybe you'd want to run me through

what happened here first.

You know, we got a tip that

cocaine was being sold out

of the pool hall, so we came

to check it out.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

They just started sh**ting.

MAN: Oh, sh*t, Five-O!

STERN: And how'd you end up in the back?

BUCKLEY: One of them ran.

- (CROWD CLAMORING)
- (WOMAN SCREAMS)

I warned him repeatedly to stop.

MAN: Damn, bruh!

BUCKLEY: He had a g*n in his hand.

Aah!

BUCKLEY: He was turning back to fire.

And, uh...

OFFICER (OVER RADIO): - . Perez is hit!

Repeat, Perez is down!

- (RADIO CRACKLES)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

That's when I saw him.

Okay.

Kovatch is gonna want to hear that from you.

Then you got to go in,

give an official statement.

Hey, the guy in the back.

He make it?

He's barely hanging on.

Took him over to King.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

- What's up?
- Sup?

Welcome.

sh*t.

Look at this place.

Been meaning to have you over.

Been paging you all morning.

Yeah.

Couldn't sleep, man.

You know, mind was just racing on me.

Feel like I've been carved out.

I was actually feeling pretty good.

Went to the crib, poured a drink.

Watched the sun rise on the roof.

Like I finally knew what I had to do.

Then I got word cops hit the pool hall.

Three of Kane people dead.

Kane in surgery.

Want to guess who it was?

Hmm?

She lied to us.

Said sh*t was fine.

And went behind our
backs and hit 'em anyway.

What you want me to do about it, Lee?

What?

What would you like me to do?

Yell and scream?

sh**t up the club?

Go to w*r with Louie and Jerome?

The cops?

There's what's right and there's

what's wrong, and this sh*t is wrong.

Yeah, well, Kane tried to k*ll us.

Jerome and Louie hit back.

We made a deal with Kane.

That's what's right in our world.

I ain't saying I'm happy with any of it.

But there's other sh*t that's

more important to me, man.

Like what?

Like surviving.

Surviving to take care of my unborn baby.

Like not going to w*r with my family.

I can't tell you what to do any more

than I can Jerome and Louie.

That's a first.

But I ain't going out a martyr.

Nah, you're going out here.

In your Wilshire penthouse.

Look, if...

if you're trying to make me feel bad,

that's not the way, all right?

Now, you want to fight this, be my guest.

But I won't be there.

You ain't even open it, huh?

(DOOR OPENS)

It probably was.

That sh*t could've gone all wrong.

Yeah.

But it didn't.

Maybe it's a good omen.

Mm-hmm.

Word's probably out about Kane by now.

I know.

Checked my pager this morning.

- And?
- Five missed from Leon.

I wish we could just stay in bed all day.

We can.

- We can?
- Mm-hmm.

- We can.
- Let's just stay in bed all day.

Yeah.

(PAGER BEEPING)

Oh, no.

No.

sh*t needs to be dealt with.

I'll tell you what.

(EXCLAIMS)

- I like it.

You ever gonna tell me where we going?

I mean, you're gonna know in a few days,

You just like seeing me squirm, that's all.

Say it again.

- You like it?
- Mm-hmm.

(PHONES RINGING)

Um...

no, it's all there.

Just like I said.

And the cocaine you got the tip about

in the first place?

Bad information, right?

It happens. (CHUCKLES)

- (KNOCKING)
- Yeah?

Come on in.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Kind of need to pull a
tube of blood, Detective.

Are you serious?

As of right now, you are suspended,

pending results

of I.A.'s investigation into the sh**ting

and these test results.

So you tell us to clean sh*t up,

and suddenly you give a
f*ck about how it gets done?

An officer is dead, and I want to know why.

Or is it just me, huh?

'Cause I ain't some six-foot-two

square-jawed Southern boy.

"Yes, sir, no, sir,

shine your shoes for you, sir?"

I shine my own shoes.

And I clean up after myself.

You should've done the same.

(LAUGHS)

f*ck this. I want my union rep.

I want my f*cking lawyer in here.

Refuse to cooperate, and there'll be

criminal charges to go
along with the disgrace.

In the meantime, I'm gonna need

your g*n and badge, Detective.

(CHUCKLES)

All right.

(DOOR OPENS)

VERONIQUE: I know you
don't want to hear it, but...

... I understand why Louie did what she did.

Right thing, the wrong way.

Who doses an entire wedding?

What if I'd have stayed,
huh, eaten a strawberry?

I don't even want to think about it.

You could've called me, you know.

If you were in such bad shape.

Oh, we talked.

Had a whole conversation.

Hmm.

What did we talk about?

Hey, you want to get out of here?

Like, leave town?

I just want to clear my head.

What'd you have in mind?

CISSY: You shaved your beard.

In light of last night, I thought

it would be helpful to alter my appearance.

I was thinking those things you were saying

are closer to the truth than not.

I was drugged.

I was scared. f*ck, I'm still scared.

I'm sorry.

You know what you
should be scared of, Cissy?

What the CIA is gonna do

to your son if I don't help you.

Because when they're done with him,

they will k*ll him.

That's a fact.

Right now you think you
have two bad choices.

But I'm the only hope you
have to save Franklin.

Ana told me what you were
like when she recruited you.

Alone.

- Desperate to find a man who was gone forever.
- Okay.

I don't need to be
reminded of that right now.

No, I think you do. And I think

you need to put away these childish excuses

if you want to have any
hope of k*lling Teddy

and getting you out of this alive.

Wait a g*dd*mn second.

Short of incriminating my own son,

I have done everything

that you have asked me to do.

You, on the other hand,

have given me no reason to believe

that you can do what you
said you were gonna do.

Now, both Teddy's drug runner

and g*n supplier were there yesterday.

Tell me you got something we can use.

Could've gotten more if
you had kept your head.

But yes.

Ultimately, it was incredibly helpful.

My people are digging into Gustavo Zapata

and Avi Drexler as we speak.

But whatever reservations you have,

you leave them here today.

Or I will leave you back

Very good.

Ah, yeah, I couldn't agree more.

And I'd like to hear all of your thoughts

on this matter.

And I would like to tell you.

But I think Theodore would like

Someone spiked

the entire Saint wedding

with LSD last night.

Seriously? Was it you?

Not this time.

(LAUGHS)

Okay.

I'm not gonna, uh,
take up too much of your time.

I am about to be in a position to triple

the number of g*ns that are headed south.

I need to know that you can
handle that kind of weight.

When have I ever let you down?

Honestly, Avi, all the time.

There were always good
reasons for any hiccups.

This is it, it's the final push.

The Sandinistas are hurting.

This will break their back.
I want this w*r sewn up.

On to bigger and better things, eh?

Triple the g*ns

in days... say you can do it.

You have the money, you'll have the g*ns,

I swear, but I do hope

the end of this w*r will not mean

the end of our business?

That this was just cops being cops?

Or is there some sh*t
that you want to tell me?

You can't be f*cking serious.

Okay, okay.

Yeah, I came here for a little compassion.

Why did I think I'd get anything

but a world of sh*t from you?

I'm sorry Eddie is dead, okay, I am.

But I'm not letting you see them

- when you're in this state.
- What state, Sharon? I'm upset.

Come on, you're f*cking high, Beau!

You think I don't see it?
You think I don't know?

I want to see my f*cking kids.

- And I'm not gonna say it again.
- Or what?

You gonna hit me?

Hmm?

After they find cocaine

or-or whatever it is
you're on in your blood?

You want to make sure you
never see your kids again?

That's the way to make sure it happens.

keeping assholes like
you away from their kids.

Now get the f*ck out of here.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You felt differently.

So I did what I needed to do.

Just tell me why.

Make me understand how this is

one thing that needed to happen?

(SIGHS)

I can try.

But you ain't gonna hear it.

You think it's hard being a Black man

in this world, Leon?

Try for five minutes

living in it as a Black woman.

Every move I make got
to be iron-f*cking-clad,

or these n*gg*s is gonna
chew me up and spit me out.

And that ain't happening to me.

So, yeah, I looked you

in your face, told you I was fine,

and then I sent Buckley to k*ll Kane.

'Cause to be where I want to be,

I don't got the luxury

of somebody taking a sh*t
at me and letting it go.

What about Black Diamond?

Black Diamond and
Dallas could be bought.

Y'all k*lled Kane's brother.

So a little money gonna keep him happy

for a little while, but one day

he gonna come back to
finish what he started.

- You don't know that.
- What I know is,

I spent half my life getting f*cked

over by n*gg*s like him.

And like I said before,
that ain't happening again.

If you can't understand that, Leon,

it ain't nothing left for us to talk about.

Look, I just left the hospital.

Kane's people ain't gonna
take this lying down.

Now I didn't tell
'em it was you behind this,

'cause I don't want more blood on my hands.

But eventually they gonna find out.

And I hope you ready for what's coming.

Got to find the love somehow

Disappointments capture me

And only love can set me free

Set me free

Oh, set me free

Oh, now I feel that love.

VERONIQUE: I said what?

FRANKLIN: That I couldn't be a gangster

and a family man at the same time.

That I'd lose you.

Or you'd betray me to save yourself.

That what you really think?

I think I haven't been honest with you, V.

And I don't want to lie anymore.

The truth is, I've done terrible things.

I've k*lled people.

Destroyed lives.

Whatever I had to, not
just to survive but to win.

And last night

I saw the simple truth.

That by any measure...

... I'm a monster.

When I was ...

... my mom and I were in El Paso,

running one of the usual scams.

Normally we were gone

before the mark ever
knew what hit 'em, but...

this one guy, he sniffed it out.

He flew into a rage.

You rob someone straight up,

that's one thing.

You make them believe you care

and then clean 'em out?

He'd already knocked my mother unconscious.

He had his hands around my neck.

And the world was going dark.

I didn't even see her get up.

I just heard the sh*t.

My mom, she helped me up,
told me, "Stop crying."

She helped me change my clothes,

and then we left the country.

I am the girl who lied

and cheated and stole

and left a man dead on a hotel room floor.

I'm also the woman who went to college

and law school...

and moved to L.A. and met a man

and fell in love.

It's not the same thing, V.

I knew you were a k*ller, Franklin.

But I also believed you when you said

you wanted out.

That you wanted to change.

I do.

But what if I was wrong?

What if it's...

it's too late?

Then you'd better win.

I don't go nowhere

- without my security.
- You do now.

No security, nobody I don't know.

And you can thank Franklin for that.

You tell him yet, by the way?

Not yet.

Give me a heads-up when you do.

Couple days.

We'll be back in time for the next drop.

- Have a good time.

to both sides of the family?

Apparently, when it's a

So, yeah, you see,

I'm in a spot now, and you put me here.

You put yourself there.

And now you're gonna stand up there and say

Uh, sure do. We have apple, pecan,

chocolate cream, and I think we still have

a piece of blackberry cobbler.

- Apple pie would be great.
- Yeah.

Um, could you put whipped cream on top?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

You're in a good mood.

Yeah, I guess I...

Maybe I am.

Think I owe you an apology.

Or at least an explanation
as to a certain phone call

I may have made yesterday.

A phone call?

Are you talking about when
you threatened to k*ll me?

Look, I was on dr*gs, man.

Not in my right mind.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I heard.

Please tell me that you had,
like, a little bit of fun

before the paranoia kicked in?

Yeah, actually.

The whole family was there.

Everybody happy.

No idea

about the b*mb that was about to drop

- in the middle of it all.
- Yeah.

See, now I'm not sure if you're

talking about the acid or about

me agreeing to do business with Louie.

Pie will be up in just a minute.

Thanks.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You know, I got to say,

I didn't see that coming.

You should know

that my doing business with her...

not personal...

Personal?

Just business?

You know how many times I've used that line?

That's why I'm hoping
you'll understand it.

I mean, sh*t. This ain't
about me and you, right?

It's about America, it's about...

- winning a w*r.
- That's right.

And to that point, I did some thinking

before I came here tonight.

Did you know in the last three years,

I've made you almost $ million

to help win that w*r?

During which time I've been
beaten, sh*t, imprisoned,

k*lled people.

Not to mention unleashing a plague

and selling out my own father.

To keep your gravy train flowing, of course.

And you wanted it.

Remember?

Yeah, that's true.

And this ain't charity work.

You've taken home some
really nice hazard pay out

- of the whole deal.
- I have. So we are in agreement

that this unlikely partnership
has been more fruitful

and productive than either
of us could have imagined.

We've even had what I'd like to think were

a few genuine moments of human connection.

And I do genuinely hope
that you got everything

you wanted out of it,

squeezed every last drop.

'Cause as of this moment,
our partnership is over.

(BELL DINGS)

Anything else I can get for you... ?

- We're fine, thank you.
- Okay.

Just because I'm dealing with Louie

does not mean that you have to quit.

You went behind my back, man.

Undercut me to my biggest customer,

so, yeah, it does.

(SIGHS)

I've got my money.

Got my lady.

Got a baby on the way.

And I've done my patriotic duty,

then some, you know that, so I'm out.

And, sh*t, maybe nobody
will know that a white boy

from Kansas and a Black
kid from South Central

changed the course of history forever.

("IT'S LIKE THAT" BY RUN-D.M.C. PLAYING)

Unemployment at a record high

People coming, people going...

Good luck to you, Teddy.

Don't ask me because
I don't know why


But it's like that,
and that's the way it is

People in the world
try to make ends meet


To travel by car,
train, bus or feet...

Same to you, Franklin.

You want to compete

It's like that, and
that's the way it is, huh


(DOOR OPENS, BELL JINGLES)

Money is the key to
end all your woes


Your ups, your downs,
your highs and your lows

Won't you tell me last time
that love bought you clothes?


It's like that,
and that's the way it is

Bills rise higher every day

We receive much lower pay

I'd rather stay young,
go out and play

It's like that,
and that's the way it is

w*r's going on across the sea

Street soldiers k*lling the elderly

Whatever happened to unity?

- ♪ It's like that
- ♪ What?

And that that's the way it is, huh!
