00:36 yeah good music to get you ready to go I like that it doesn't start in the middle
00:52 under the cover yeah yeah yeah go ahead right there oh yeah yeah everybody like
01:21 that part if you like that part raise it up right now yeah I gotta make it yeah
01:29 yeah yeah okay so start off with a nice bang Jamie almost gets choked to death
01:38 by Charlie Murphy Charlie Murphy we don't even know what is what is that one
01:43 character name is Charlie Murphy evil evil evil Charlie Murphy doesn't really
01:49 white teeth yeah he does okay observation okay I but I thought of as I
01:56 looked at his teeth I was thinking about chemo you know he's in chemo during the
02:01 time that he was filming this right that's why he's so skinny right and his
02:06 teeth I guess stand out so much because he's just his face and everything he's
02:10 just really really skinny he's really gone chemo is a bitch anyway moving right
02:16 along all right so we see that Angela is once again in the hot seat yeah looks
02:21 like so the DNA evidence got thrown out right uh-huh lawyers not very happy that
02:27 she went with Jamie and deal right back right and as you said the DNA was just
02:33 thrown out so he wants her to go back and wants her to go back to Tasha and
02:37 see if I guess trying to try her going at a spousal angle really I didn't get
02:45 that I he just said uh oh yeah yeah maybe it is what it is but wait he said
02:49 that the gun the gun came back clean so how is this an avenue to go back to her
02:54 I don't know he just basically said go back get another angle all right all
03:00 right so Tommy and the lawyer meet up under the whatever whatever looks like
03:07 it's like a Harlem like Morningside underneath oh yeah 25th Street I think
03:14 okay well you know they filmed this particular season all over New York so
03:18 we definitely gonna see different scenes in New York City. Looks like where Bishop they filmed
03:22 Juice at it was a part where Bishop was running underneath on 125th Street it
03:28 looks like that area okay little New York history in movies so okay so Tommy
03:34 and the lawyer meet up and he tells the lawyer tells Tommy that he has to go and
03:39 make the drop to to Rusty's wife the 20 grand a week right the payoff so that he
03:46 can not rat ghosts out as ghosts in jail right Tommy is confused as to why he was
03:52 selected and he doesn't really recognize the guy's name and I would like to just
03:58 state once again this guy better not be Tommy's dad. Yeah I'm interested to see what's going to happen when they meet up
04:06 yeah you know like when that drop happens so on so that's that's going on
04:12 Tommy not really happy about that whole scene and now we have this new
04:16 development with Tasha and Angela. I swear this girl Angela I just be wanting I just want
04:23 Tasha just to go straight street on her and be like yo you you never really
04:27 understood ghost from the gate that's why you was a side chick from the gate you
04:31 don't understand and we ride or die like that's really what I wanted her to say
04:36 like stop letting this woman get into your freaking head. But she did offer to punch her in the face if she didn't stop contacting her. Yeah I like that but I kind of always feel like Tasha's still being being you know
04:48 she's still wavering a little bit like you can see her thinking and I'm just like
04:53 she needs to just be able to say that's why I was the wife and you was a side
04:56 chick because I know exactly what my man is capable of doing and you trying to
05:01 confuse me in my brain that's what you know I really wanted her to say that and
05:05 I still got the sense that Angela was getting to her. Yeah well Tasha also lied she pretended that she knew she knew about the deal that was going on but even though she didn't really know. Right right right. So we're going to see how that plays out. Yeah yeah yeah.
05:21 And Julio the distro the new distro he's not getting respect from all his people you know
05:27 because basically you know Tommy went and ran the dude over as we saw in the previous
05:31 episode. Right. Bones out bleeding on the street that was crazy and Julio apologized on
05:38 behalf of Tommy. Right. Instead of instead of just being like yo we did it next time
05:44 you know make sure your men your people are in order. Right. And as a result of
05:48 that you know the guys like y'all ain't on the same page and you ain't getting no
05:51 respect. Wasn't there another episode we saw where somebody the whole issue of one
05:57 person apologizing on behalf of another person I feel like this scene has
06:00 happened already was it was it was it this show or something else? I think it was last episode. What? I mean last season. Last season yeah it's like you got it you know you got it like
06:10 regardless of what your men do you still got to be like yo you did it you know you
06:14 got to be on the same same page or this there's a crack in the armor so Julio is
06:19 not on on a strong footing but anyway where we at? That's where we at. Keep it moving.
06:25 Woo! Angry Black Man. Does not pay to be the angry black man. Damn he got fed up crazy.
06:33 You know Proctor really plucked a nerve when he said that basically he was the
06:38 mole you know and dude went for it and lost his mind right there on the stand. He was saying
06:43 mother effer and everything. He was just cussing with the judge right there.
06:47 Everyone's just looking at him like yo you're blowing it. You need to calm down.
06:53 Of course Agent Mike right that's his name. Right he's looking like oh my god oh my god right oh my god
07:00 this is good I don't know if it's good is it good for me I'm not sure.
07:03 I'm I am yeah it was crazy. Right. Alright so Tariq got a whole stash of money.
07:08 Buying stuff. Buying beats by Dre. Was that beats by Dre headphones? It probably was some effin some 50 headphones.
07:16 Oh yeah the SMS. The SMS come on you know those SMS even though he ain't really show them real strong.
07:21 He still do SMS. He be you know hashtag SMS. He did have the effin rocker in the scene. Yeah he did have the effin rocker in the scene.
07:28 He didn't put the puppy juice in the scene. He didn't say to rock he said give him two shots of effin.
07:33 Right. Yeah when Dre was in the club with uh what's his name Enrique the Dominican.
07:38 The Dominican dude with the Dominican crew. But that damn Dre man. He's toothpaste like a mug.
07:45 Right cause he told he's the one that told Tommy that Julio was in the thing. He did tell Tommy that Julio was there longer. Right.
07:52 Then he tells Julio that he didn't tell Tommy that. Right. Now he's talking to this other dude trying to get juice on Julio.
07:58 Talking about yeah what you say about Julio effing up. Right but notice Julio's girlfriend was right there.
08:05 She was there eavesdropping. Eavesdropping. No one was happening. That might that might come out later.
08:11 That's it? Yeah that's what we get. Alright. Oh wait wait wait wait wait yeah Tasha met with Ghost told him don't ever make a decision without me.
08:21 Right. Yeah that's right girl lay it down. Yeah we got a pause for Connie. Yeah Connie. Uh uh uh uh uh.
08:30 You gotta let me give it up to her. For the woman. She said this is my house. She said I'm sick but this is my house.
08:38 And Tony has never lied to me and it's not gonna start right now. Laying it down in her house.
08:44 She don't care. That was the best action I've seen in a long time.
08:48 Yo that was like a small role but she killed it. Like I completely felt her.
08:53 Like you don't come up in my house and be telling me and I'm sick dammit but dammit the rules still apply.
09:00 I'm the boss bitch up in park. Well she wasn't the boss the night that Tommy was conceived because obviously it's him.
09:08 Oh shoot yeah right that whole thing. Yeah. What the heck does that mean? That's what she was like what is he talking about?
09:14 It's him. So it's him means that that's you think oh man that's your worst that's your worst nightmare.
09:20 I think that I think that dude is extorting. He could be Tommy's dad. He looks like he kind of got me in.
09:26 Right. What? And uh. So you think when they said it's him that they were saying that that's Tommy's dad.
09:34 That Tommy was the boy and that's the reason why they holding it back from Connie. Right.
09:40 That's the one secret she don't know about her husband after 40 years of marriage. 40 years of marriage.
09:45 She's married to a gangster. He got money. And she said he ain't never held nothing back from her.
09:49 But this is the one thing she don't know that he got an illegitimate child somewhere out there. Right.
09:54 What? I mean we know his mom was a coke head. He said he never met his father. Like this is so one-on-one.
10:04 Right. I mean the most it could be maybe is his his brother's son or something silly like that. Crazy.
10:10 But it's really pointing towards some kind of father-son relationship. Wow you called it. There you go again man.
10:18 You go now listen this is not as bad as Empire. I know you were upset. You were concerned that
10:23 that this could lead down the road to Empire. But this is not Empire. This is not just gratuitous drama.
10:27 I mean nothing could be as bad as Lucius's mother never died and was in an institution.
10:34 For all those years. Yeah that's true. I guess as long as um Courtney doesn't pull that crap. Yeah. I'm okay.
10:41 Okay you're right. You're okay with what's happening right now. You feeling okay about it.
10:45 I mean they bringing it on. They bringing it on slow. They bringing it on easy. It's making sense.
10:50 Let's just clear up one other thing. Yeah. So Tommy confirmed that the guy he gave the money to
10:56 is the guy who did the hit. How do you say he confirmed it? He just started rattling off all
11:02 of these different things. Right and when he said the final name. Dude kind of kind of had a weird look.
11:08 He had a look on his face. Right. I want everybody to rewind that part and look at it. He had to look on his face.
11:13 Okay so can you show that part right now on the screen? Yeah. Show the screen. Look at the screen. You gonna show the part?
11:18 Yeah. Okay there's the part. Okay there you go. There. That's the look. That's the look. That look means confirmation.
11:24 Right. Okay. All right so let's go. Go. All right I just wanted to point out something. So we're at the scene
11:31 where Tariq helped Kanan and his partner break into his friend's house or whatever. Yeah. And
11:39 I'm really disturbed by this. This is really disturbing me like in my in my mental. Right.
11:46 The problem that I'm having is that Kanan is walking out with a big screen TV. Right.
11:53 Kanan you're making ten thousand dollars a week from Drake delivering it to you. Why are you
11:59 walking around with a $150 TV? Like what are you gonna do fence it? Right. Like this this part is a
12:05 little silly. Right. It's a little silly. Right. Like I could see if he was going in there to get diamonds.
12:11 Right. Pearls and all that stuff but you walking out with a big TV is kind of silly. Yeah yeah yeah.
12:18 That's true. And you know it's like broad daylight and he got the van says adult daycare so what
12:23 justification would you have to be taking a TV out of the house into an adult daycare van? Like it's
12:28 not even like a U-Haul moving truck. Right. All right Courtney this this is a little suspect.
12:34 Now maybe we can give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe she's just trying to
12:39 position it that Kanan is just like trying to get at this dude. Trying to get at him by just doing
12:45 stupid stuff. Yeah but at the end of the day right when it's okay your father comes home he's like
12:54 yo where's my stuff? Right. Well who was here? Right. Well who's gonna be blamed first? But that's
13:00 what I'm saying. The black kid. Right but that's what I'm saying so maybe it's deliberate by Kanan
13:06 to try to get Tariq into more trouble because remember at the end of the day he's still trying
13:11 to get vengeance against ghosts. So it's like these he's putting him in this position where
13:17 he's robbing people while the boy's in the damn house. Like that's some real stupidity. I don't
13:23 even understand that but it just seems to me that he's trying to deliberately and I'm hoping
13:28 because I'm trusting you Courtney I'm hoping that it's that he's trying to deliberately
13:33 set this boy up so that he can position him to take the fall and really destroy his life. And
13:42 again this is all about vengeance towards um Jamie. But I have to say I'm disturbed by it. Like
13:48 I it don't sit right. I mean I know this is TV and everything. I think Courtney's doing a great
13:52 job because I'm really I'm really hurt and disturbed by it by the evil of it. It's just
13:58 straight evil. Because you have a 12 year old. Right and it's like yo he in there drinking he
14:02 done got him all corrupted. The boy drinking lean. You know he's you know collaborating in
14:08 robberies and these kids they don't freaking know no better. It's just this is what happens when
14:12 when people take advantage of children in their young minds. I don't know I'm just really disturbed
14:17 by it. Why don't we just take a pause and let you collect. Yeah I need to breathe. Oh my god Tommy.
14:24 Tommy's back. Oh my god Tommy. Oh my god. Yo I cannot believe Tommy just did that. Yo that was
14:33 some real horror. Tommy is a freaking maniac. It's like you see him slightly in the background right
14:38 before he does it. Why in the name of would he do that? What is wrong with him? All right. He's
14:44 kind of a federal agent. No no no. So let's take it back. Tommy's a freaking psychopath.
14:48 So let's go back a bit right. So apparently this guy had a tape. Now if everybody remembers. This
14:56 is the Homeland Security guy. Right. Season three I think it was around episode nine or so um
15:02 Greg convinces Ruiz to wear a button watch. Ruiz is the other gangster that was part of it. I forgot
15:11 what the the cartel was. Right. You know he had one of the people in the cartel. So they used to
15:15 watch it. Right. So Ruiz meets with Milan and everything and you know he's recording all this
15:21 stuff. The whole thing was that Ghost knew about the button. What button? The button that Ruiz.
15:27 The button that Greg asked him to wear. Okay so Greg asked Ruiz to wear a button on his tie.
15:32 A recording button. Right. Ghost knew about that. Right and Ghost told Ruiz don't mention him or
15:39 Tommy. Right. And somehow or other Tommy I mean somehow or other it was mentioned Tommy mentions.
15:49 Okay so Ruiz doesn't actually mention Ghost to Tommy. No he doesn't. But Tommy's there too.
15:56 Right so Tommy leaves with Ruiz and they get in the car and Tommy starts talking about how he
16:04 mad at Ghost this that and the other. Right. And how he killed Lobos. Right. So that's mistake number
16:11 one. Right. Then the other half of the mistake is when Tommy kills Ruiz on the audio tape. But
16:17 why did Tommy kill Ruiz again? Because he he felt that Ruiz was snitching on him. He knew
16:22 that something wasn't right with Ruiz. Uh-huh. So he killed Ruiz. He just be killing. This is
16:29 the problem. He's just like just now. He's thinking just be killing people. If you remember Ruiz.
16:34 Episode 9 he says you're gonna regret this. Did he say that? Yes as he's getting stabbed up he's
16:40 like you're gonna regret this because Ruiz knew that they still was recording. Oh okay. So. As
16:48 he's getting stabbed he said that? Yeah. I don't remember that. I'll rewind it for you. You can
16:52 rewind it for me. Yeah. So all right let's just fast forward. Tommy has just killed the federal
16:57 agent and then after Proctor explains what happened he's kind of like oops. Wait wait wait.
17:04 The federal. Let's just explain what the federal agent was actually discussing. All right. So the
17:09 federal agent. No he's the homeland security guy. Homeland security guy. Homeland security. He plays
17:14 the audio for Proctor two times. He plays plays two different audio clips. The first part was where
17:21 Tommy implicates ghosts and himself to killing Lobos. Right when he was when Tommy was renting
17:30 in a car. Right and then. And he talks about ghosts. He says ghosts. So he clearly is not
17:35 saying that he's ghost. Right. He's referring to someone else as ghost. Right. And then the second
17:41 part of the tape he turns around and he's like well you know if you're gonna go with that angle
17:46 Proctor meaning that you're gonna you know ghost doesn't want to. Basically the special
17:52 process the special the homeland security guy is giving telling him look. If you play this tape.
17:59 You're gonna have to roll over on Tommy. Right. Tommy freaks out he hears that. But wait wait
18:04 okay so explain the second part. So the second part. The second recording. Right the second
18:10 recording is now Tommy killing Ruiz. Yes yes yes. Which is undeniably. Okay right. It's Tommy. So
18:16 so basically it's like if you play this tape there's a second part to it where Tommy is killing
18:21 someone. So Tommy is going to go down either way. Right. Right. And here comes Tommy from out of the
18:27 freaking shadow. Right because he's scared. He's like no no no no no you ain't gonna be telling
18:31 nobody on me. Oh my god I cannot. He freaking kills this guy. This is a homeless. I can't
18:37 believe it. In front of Proctor. Proctor witnesses this and here we have him at the end. He's
18:42 threatening Proctor that he'll kill him too. He wipes the blood from the knife that he stabbed
18:46 this man with on Proctor's shirt. Right. Now Proctor's a bad boy too because he's like yo
18:52 I'll take care of it. He's scared and everything. Yeah. But uh he ain't he ain't looking terrified.
18:59 Like he ain't never seen nobody get killed before. Right. And he obviously says he says I know people
19:07 to basically clean up the mess. So yeah Proctor's a bad boy. He ain't he he's a lawyer. He's clean
19:12 but he done seen some things. And maybe this is why he's able to take Jamie's case and not really
19:17 get to you know he doesn't really care like yo I I live this life. Right. Right. Or I know people.
19:23 Right. Whereas that other lawyer is like Mr. Clean, Joe Green. You know he Mr. Spicy, Ivy Lee.
19:29 Right. You know. Wow I'm just blown away that this dude just killed like like now everybody this is
19:35 just getting crazy. Courtney what you doing? You're stressing me out. This is too much stress.
19:39 All right. So just wanted to say I'm still disturbed. I'm really disturbed why Kanan and
19:45 Tyreke have this relationship. It's like why would a boy hang out with a guy that would hang out with
19:53 his father? Like this guy's 40 years old. You don't find it weird to be 13, 14 drinking with a 40 year old?
19:59 I think Kanan to him is his father figure now. In the same way as you remember in previous
20:05 episodes Ghost made Kanan's son a son to him. He was like a son to him when he was in jail.
20:12 Kind of adopted him. He's trying to do the same thing with Ghost's son. But make him good. But corrupt him.
20:20 Right. I mean this boy's got him smoking weed now and I'm sending him in the room with this girl.
20:26 You know what bothers me is like you know this boy was innocent. You know and he's corrupting him
20:32 in all kind of ways with drugs and alcohol and now you know he's obviously possibly going to be
20:39 doing something with this girl. I'm hoping that the girl and him have a conversation and she,
20:44 this is me doing a little bit of what you usually do, maybe she can talk some sense into his head.
20:50 Maybe she becomes the one that helps him to see clearly what's you know maybe befriends him
20:55 and helps him you know it's like I'm not sleeping with you. We're just going to be friends and we
21:00 could talk because we both kind of in these crazy situations in our lives they become friends and
21:05 maybe she can help him to see clearly what's happening. What's happening to him because she's
21:09 like yo you from downtown what what you doing hanging out with these dudes. Right. You know so
21:14 I'm hoping. And you know it's funny because if Tyreek is going to be the ghost he's going to need
21:20 Natasha. You know like at some point could Tyreek and this girl be the next power. Yeah I don't want
21:28 to go all the way five years down the road. I'm just saying behind every man you know is a great
21:35 woman. You know the black woman always holds the man down you know what I'm saying. She's not there
21:40 to corrupt him. You know if you got a real good black woman she's the one that's gonna let you
21:45 know when you're on the wrong track. Right. She's gonna talk some sense into your head. She's gonna
21:50 get you right especially if she sees that you got potential. Right. You know what I'm saying. So
21:54 that's why I'm hoping Courtney's gone. Come on Courtney do this for me. All right. All right.
21:59 All right so looks like the gravy train for Tressie is over. Yeah ghost shut that down.
22:06 All right got choked a little bit but you know he ate that and was just like yo
22:10 um I know who you are. I know what you did. And I will tell the family that it was you that did it
22:18 and they will kill your wife. Right. And your buddy. Right. Right. Right. Right. So you want
22:24 to keep your mouth shut. Right. And look I'll keep my mouth shut too. We both got you know I don't
22:29 want no problems. Right. I just don't need this extra pressure in the middle of my crack. You
22:34 know what I'm saying. It's like a whole nother piece of storyline. Thank God. Look Courtney I
22:38 can't deal with so much stress. Thank you for settling that for now. Maybe now the kids can
22:42 go back to school. What? Well you know that there was a scene earlier where the head of the school
22:49 told Tasha that her check bounced and they ain't got no money. So now maybe the kids can go back
22:54 to school. That ain't that money. You making a joke. Bottom line the freaking feds froze up all
22:59 their damn assets. Yeah. That's the crazy part right there. You know they didn't really do a
23:04 great job of explaining the feds frozen assets. They made it sound like that um you know that
23:12 they yeah I guess they did I mean basically they froze the assets they closed Lakeisha's shop and
23:17 they closed the club. Right which I think is clearly that they froze the assets. I mean it
23:21 wasn't about Lakeisha. It's just like anything that's related with with this man making money
23:26 must be shut down. Right. Wow. I want to pull that over. And then and then Nick Cannon's like yo
23:33 he's telling Andre like yeah I don't care how you get the money. Right. Andre's gonna be in trouble.
23:38 Why there's so much trouble everywhere man. This lifestyle is crazy. You know Andre gotta die this
23:43 season right. Yeah you think so. He's in two he's going against Julio. Right. He's going against
23:49 Cannon. Right. And he's going against Ghost. Somebody gotta go. How's he going against Ghost?
23:54 Oh yeah yeah messing with Cannon. Right and Cannon's messing with I mean Dre is messing with
23:59 Cannon. Yeah yeah yeah. Dre is messing with Ghost. Yeah. So that right there is a conflict. Yeah. And
24:03 then he's messing with Julio. Yeah. And then he's messing with Tommy. How's he messing with Tommy?
24:07 Because he Tommy was like yo how you found Tyreek? And he was like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah Andre Andre
24:13 yeah yeah yeah. So you gotta be you gotta be hot or cold man. That's why that's what that's what
24:17 Tommy's telling this dude Julio just to link it all in. Like you can't be wavering apologizing.
24:25 You know like you gotta be straight. I'm here or I'm there. You cannot be in the middle. The middle
24:32 gets squished. That's Andre. Hold on hold on hold on. Slow down slow down. I know it's going off but
24:42 I need we need to discuss what's happening here. Turn it all the way down. I can't I can't I can't.
24:48 I gotta think. All right so what just happened was. Okay so Proctor became. Proctor was just
24:54 thrown off the case. Right he was thrown off the case because they said that it was a conflict of
24:57 interest between him representing Tommy Egan and representing Jamie. Right. All right so that's
25:03 easy. The problem that what we just saw was Proctor went to Angela and he basically was like yo
25:08 everything that Jamie did was for you. Right. And I told him not to do nothing for you. Right. But
25:13 he insisted on doing everything for you. Right. And blah blah blah blah blah. Right. And that's
25:18 not his gun. Right. Ultimately that's not his gun. Right. Like he repeated that. Right. So Angela got
25:24 the surveillance footage from the night that Greg Knox was murdered. Right. So if you if you recall
25:29 the night that Greg Knox was murdered Jamie went to Greg's house and then he left.
25:36 Then he went back to Truth. He handled his business. Then he went back inside of the club
25:43 and he dealt with the um the the the daughter and the father for the new Truth deal. And of course
25:51 that's when they killed did the whole killing with Milan and everything. Oh yeah the Truth deal and
25:57 then the whole thing was happening in the background with Tommy and all that other stuff.
26:01 Right. So what Angela just watched was the surveillance video from the entire night.
26:08 She first of all noticed that the last person to review the footage was Mike Sandoval. Now the
26:15 first question is well why would Mike review the footage of the night before? Like you found the
26:21 gun like what do you care about the night before? So now she's reviewing the footage and she realizes
26:25 something. The area that they say they found the gun in which was behind the counter underneath
