00:30Previously on Ghost.
00:31The dirty cop beat up Diana.
00:32She lost our baby.
00:33Well, I'm supposed to just snort a few lines and get the fuck over it like you always do,
00:34right?
00:35Do you think L's still mad?
00:36What are you doing?
00:37Yeah, I'll two niggas fire.
00:38Wow, is this a help?
00:39It was a group decision.
00:40War bureaucrats don't exactly advertise.
00:41It's going to take me some time to find a new one.
00:42Time I don't have.
00:43You need citizenship to make you legit, so marry me.
00:44I don't know what you're talking about.
00:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47I don't know what you're talking about.
00:48I don't know what you're talking about.
00:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:50Please don't act like you care about me.
01:01How are we killing this bitch?
01:07Killing a cop ain't the way out.
01:08Let me handle my people my way.
01:11I know what you're dealing with, but she can't kill a cop.
01:16You're right.
01:17That bitch is mine.
01:18Let's just calm down and talk about it.
01:19Ah!
01:21Do you like bedtime stories?
01:23Yeah.
01:24This is so fucked up.
01:25You've got to get the fuck out of here, now.
01:29Hands up.
01:30You give me the leverage I need to go against Noma,
01:33and maybe I change this murder to a fucking accident.
01:37Welcome to the fucking team, Tariq.
01:49I never took a straight path nowhere.
02:06Life's full of twists and turns, bumps and bruises.
02:08I live, I learn.
02:09I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers.
02:12It's hard to get a start in these parts without paper, homie.
02:15I grew up in hell, a block away from heaven.
02:17That corner ain't 15 minutes, it move at seven.
02:20Pure snow, bag it, then watch it go.
02:22Occupational options, get some blow on some hoes.
02:25Shoot the roll of the strap, learn the rap of the jack.
02:27Fuck it, man, in the meantime, go ahead and pump a pack.
02:30This my regal royal flow, my James Bond bounce.
02:33That 007, that's 62 on my count.
02:35I'm an undercover liar, I lie under the covers.
02:38Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her, baby, I love it.
02:40You're my inspiration, you're my motivation.
02:43You're the reason that I move it with no hesitation.
02:45They say this is a big, rich town.
02:48Yeah.
02:50I just come from the poorest part.
02:54Bright lights, city life, I gotta make it.
02:56This is where it goes down.
02:58Oh, yeah, yeah.
03:00I just happen to come up hot.
03:04Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it.
03:16Detective Felicia Marie Lewis.
03:19She was tough.
03:21She was fearless.
03:23But most of all, she was one of our own.
03:26Felicia was family.
03:29Her tragic death will undoubtedly leave a hole in our hearts.
03:33We're never prepared for a fatal car crash.
03:37Paramedics on the scene said she died in a car crash.
03:42Maybe she didn't feel any pain.
03:44At least, that's what I hope.
03:47Let's use this as a reminder to stick together.
03:52And never take for granted the time we have left on this earth.
03:57The union is setting up a fund for her little boy, Cole.
04:02I know you all want to contribute, but I know you don't.
04:07Boy, Cole.
04:09I know you all want to contribute.
04:14To Felicia.
04:15To Felicia.
04:16Felicia.
04:17To Felicia.
04:28Yo.
04:32An accident.
04:34I know.
04:36What the fuck really happened?
04:41Nico, man, I know with what we do, it's natural to second-guess everything.
04:48But this appears to be exactly what it says on the report.
04:53A fucking car accident, man.
05:00I know you two were close.
05:03So I'm here if you want to talk, all right?
05:23Speak to Detective Carter?
05:25Nah, in fact, we're looking for some more shit for us to do.
05:28We need to get rid of this motherfucker.
05:29I mean, wipe his ass off the face of the fucking earth.
05:32Any nigga put a gun to my head don't deserve to live.
05:34Shit, you think I don't know?
05:35I could face life in a fucking prison if this motherfucker decides to make me an accessory to this fucking cop's murder.
05:40Yeah, man.
05:42I still can't believe this shit, man.
05:44You know, baby girl ain't baby girl no more.
05:46This fucking shit is stressing her out.
05:47It's fucking with her head, you know?
05:48She gotta move past regret.
05:49It's for civilians.
05:50Well, fuck all that.
05:51What we doing?
05:52We need to get on this nigga's ass ASAP.
05:53I mean, look.
05:54We gotta give the nigga what the fuck he wants.
05:56No more.
05:57On the platter.
05:58Aw, man.
05:59That's gonna make us weak.
06:00If we give him leverage on Noma's, what's gonna stop that bitch from wanting to kill us?
06:03I mean, what about Drew?
06:04Hell no.
06:05He'll work with us, no?
06:06Drew called Carter to Felicia's house.
06:07Shh.
06:08He was up this motherfucker's ass like a fucking lapdog, working his own agenda.
06:11Okay, so here's what we do.
06:13We tell Carter that we're working on the leverage piece with Noma.
06:16Meanwhile, we weaponize Noma, make it seem like everything's gonna be blown up on her end,
06:19and make her take out Carter.
06:21Aw, this bitch again.
06:22We gotta go back and beg fucking Noma for help.
06:24Listen, we gotta kiss some ass and get this nigga off of our ass.
06:27All right?
06:28I mean, they're opposites.
06:29Who the fuck else is better than when you're going against the craziest, most psychotic,
06:32corrupt cop in the fucking city?
06:34Yeah, you're fucking right.
06:35You're right, man.
06:36Shit.
06:40What is this place?
06:41This is Fourth Circle.
06:43Used to be Zion's spot.
06:45It's a dealer's playground, no cops welcome.
06:48That's why we can't use the main entrance.
06:51You're gonna be overseeing the venue and the revenue like Zion did.
06:55But first, we got some people that want to welcome you to the organization.
07:10Gentlemen, this here is Drew Tejada.
07:14You got any questions before you come to me or Nico?
07:17This who you talk to.
07:20What's up?
07:30What happened to the whole Apex Ted talk?
07:32Vertical control reigning supreme.
07:35You know, that shit's gonna be hard now that this motherfucker that thinks he's Denzel from training day is in the way.
07:39Carter is a cop, Rick.
07:41The head of a drug task force.
07:43Okay?
07:44There's a thousand ways this can go left, leaving us royally fucked.
07:46Sounds like you don't got my back, nigga.
07:48No, I just don't want a preemptive strike.
07:50Or to start a war with motherfuckers that we can't win against.
07:53You know what a task force stands for.
07:55Gang.
07:56Thugs with badges.
07:57Remember that whole Tyree Nickel shit?
07:59They'll let those motherfuckers get away with a hundred murders before they stop them.
08:02Yeah, and eventually they're gonna kill our fucking asses.
08:04So that means we gotta take them out before they kill us.
08:06Simple as that.
08:07Yeah, no, no. Simple as that.
08:09No, Rick.
08:10Be clear the fuck up, bro.
08:12This motherfucker has hella shit on me.
08:14I have nothing on him.
08:15And now that he thinks I work for him, backing down is not an option.
08:19Where you going anyway? You packing your shit up?
08:22I'm moving out. Finally.
08:24Okay.
08:25I'm gonna see if Elle wants to move in with me.
08:27Wait, why?
08:28What do you mean, why?
08:29Because she's my girl and I love her. That's why.
08:33What the fuck is so funny?
08:34You're really fucking losing it, huh?
08:36Do you hear yourself?
08:37Yeah.
08:38You love her? You don't even know this girl.
08:39And didn't the band just fucking walk out on us?
08:41In fact, I do know her.
08:43And I'll get the band back.
08:44In the meantime, I got all the IVs and the knock-off course crack business from Effie.
08:49What the fuck are you doing?
08:50Kyle, how did you do that?
08:52For once, I would just love for you to say thank you, Brayden.
08:56You're killing it, Brayden. Good job, Brayden.
08:58You do a lot of things without thinking it through.
09:00All right? And you've been doing it a lot lately, so I'm just wondering.
09:03Yeah, that's fine.
09:04Well, I'm moving fast and smart and shit's working.
09:07I know what the fuck I'm doing, Rick. Okay?
09:15Okay.
09:24Detective Carter knows who you are and he's after you.
09:26Basically, how this motherfucker operates, he doesn't like people doing business without being under his thumb.
09:30So, that's an issue for you.
09:32I can solve it. I can get rid of him.
09:33What's in it for you?
09:34Tariq scam Patrick?
09:36You know your ass always got a mangle.
09:37You're always asking the wrong shit, King.
09:39There's something in it for all of us, eh?
09:40I mean, which one of us in this room really need this NYPD ass nigga disrupting our shit?
09:44What hard evidence does this cop have on me?
09:47Does he have a witness? Surveillance? What?
09:49Yeah, playboy.
09:50And how exactly are we supposed to do this?
09:52Because killing the cop ain't easy.
09:53I mean, I don't think we have a choice.
09:55Bro, the nigga's corrupt.
09:56All right? He can create fake evidence against us.
09:58He can create cases on us.
09:59He can do whatever the fuck he wants, basically.
10:02I mean, is that a chance that I want to take?
10:04Well, you didn't answer my question.
10:06What does he know about my organizations?
10:08Be specific.
10:09Look, fuck all this back and forth bullshit.
10:12Now, we're giving you top shelf information.
10:14We can map out a plan now and get back to the details later.
10:17Now, you in or not?
10:19Yeah, basically what we're saying is that
10:21it's only a matter of time before this nigga starts lowering the hammer on you.
10:24I'm not interested in going to war with the NYPD fucking D.
10:28Fuck it, I'm out of here.
10:29I told you this was going to be some bullshit.
10:31And your ass is so fucking pussy,
10:33were you just going to let this bitch get you killed?
10:35Ah, now that's not language I'd expect from my mum.
10:39Mum?
10:40Bitch, what the fuck you say?
10:42What, didn't Cain tell you?
10:43Oh, we're going to be family, love.
10:45Cain's my business partner and...
10:48Beyonce.
10:51Yeah, mum, you're hearing right.
10:53Norma and I are getting married.
10:55Wedding, pastor, the whole works.
10:57Your invitation's in the mail, though.
10:59Cain, this fucking bitch has got you going crazy.
11:02The fuck is this?
11:03Love, of course.
11:05Bullshit.
11:06Word.
11:07Fuck with your fucking stupid-ass love.
11:09Ta-da.
11:11Well, you two now are on Detective Carter's radar.
11:15This little love bullshit you got going on is just a double-shot problem.
11:27Listen, we got leverage.
11:29We both know Detective Carter's dirty.
11:32Nah, that's not close enough.
11:34Find out what Carter really knows about me
11:36and how the fuck he got my name.
11:47There's something wrong with Elle.
11:48What? What the fuck happened?
11:49She was doing coke and then she said she wasn't feeling so hot.
11:51And the next thing you know, she just fucking passed out.
11:53Look, there are drugs all over this fucking room.
11:55Who gave her the coke? Shut the fuck up!
11:56I don't know.
11:57She has sickles down. Call 911.
11:58I didn't want to do that.
11:59Fucking call!
12:02All right, FYI, I'm charging extra for this house call.
12:08I have all the documents you requested.
12:12Living will and bank statements, tax filings, prenup agreement.
12:17So, are you going on a run or getting married?
12:22The second one.
12:24I was talking to the lady, my guy.
12:26No, it's true.
12:27Kane and I are getting married.
12:30And everything needs to be airtight so it holds up against government scrutiny.
12:34ICE and the like.
12:35Wow, marrying a drug dealer.
12:37Sounds like something you might have wanted to run by your extremely smart lawyer first.
12:42Given Wiley Adams' untimely demise, this had to be done.
12:46There was no need to consult me.
12:48Yeah, so it seems like your work here is done.
12:50Fake-ass, shiny cocksucking.
12:52I got your text.
12:53What's up?
12:55Hey, whatever freak shit y'all got going on, it's on.
12:58I'm not into that.
12:59I second that emotion.
13:01Sit.
13:04We need your computer expertise.
13:07I'm marrying Kane.
13:11He did a decent job, didn't he?
13:13This ring weighs an absolute ton.
13:16She's fucking with you.
13:18It's marriage for hire, strictly business.
13:20Well, it's more like business with benefits, right love?
13:23Anyway, our nuptials need to appear rock solid,
13:26so any dalliance between you two is now over.
13:29Oh yeah, you got it.
13:30That's done.
13:33Can I go now?
13:34No, sweetie.
13:35Kane's a caveman.
13:37He has no social media footprint.
13:39I need you to create one for him so he looks legitimate as my husband.
13:43I'm thinking a LinkedIn page, an employee profile at my company,
13:48maybe a college profile actually,
13:51and some happy couple photos on IG.
13:54You know, that sort of thing.
13:55Kane with a college profile.
13:57Make sure that shit is community college.
14:00Fuck you.
14:01Fuck you back.
14:02This needs to look real.
14:04You can do this, yes?
14:05I can do my best, but I'm not a wizard.
14:07If somebody looks hard enough, they can find what they're looking for.
14:10Well, that sounds like a personal problem.
14:12You're on payroll, so it'll be your job to cover your tracks then.
14:16Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
14:19Look, F.
14:20It's business. I got it.
14:21There's nothing to talk about.
14:23Come on, honey.
14:25What's the point of pillow talk if you're not going to talk?
14:29Well, he came up with a solution.
14:31Yeah.
14:32I make him the American face of my subsidiary
14:37so that I can get the U.S. contracts pronto,
14:40and then the marriage and the prenup protect my assets
14:43until I become a citizen.
14:45I mean, that's the plan.
14:48Well, you probably would have come up with it yourself
14:50if you weren't in the midst of your own divorce.
14:52Oh, well, thank you for reminding me, okay?
14:54I thought that we had an understanding as growing business partners.
14:59Partners?
15:00Yes.
15:01I understand your practice is underwater,
15:04and you see me as a meal ticket, but don't be silly, Davis.
15:07Like my tongue game?
15:09I wouldn't underestimate my comeback game.
15:11Like my tongue game?
15:13I wouldn't underestimate my comeback game.
15:15Despite your tongue game, our relationship has limitations, love.
15:20Besides, you know I'm more of a one-woman show.
15:33Why the fuck are they trying to hurry up and get married?
15:35This shit is stupid, man.
15:37I'm just as shocked as you are.
15:39But why do you need to know the why?
15:41To take down Carter.
15:43Tried to get Noma to do it, but she ain't biting.
15:45So we gotta give all the leverage that we got on Noma to Carter.
15:47Get him off our backs so we can figure out our next move.
15:49That's where you come in.
15:51Noma's my client.
15:52Nigga, you trying to protect this bitch when I gave you the inside job on her.
15:56The fuck?
15:57The allegiance is with me.
15:59Okay, and did this bitch even consult to you about marrying Kane?
16:02She's not in it for you. She's in it for herself.
16:04Little nigga, you need to calm the fuck down.
16:07Any pertinent information I give you means I'm compromising all business dealings with Noma
16:11if she were ever to find out I told you.
16:14I mean, you all preach about allegiance.
16:17Well, Mr. Ray Makeover is gonna need some in return.
16:20Sure, if you wanna end up like Obi.
16:22That's what allegiance with Noma gets you. A nice to the fucking neck.
16:25You don't think I get it?
16:26She's a shifty bitch.
16:28I mean, you two aren't any better.
16:30With that being said, my allegiance is with you.
16:34Well, then tell us what the fuck is up,
16:36because you clearly know what this sneaky bitch is up to.
16:39Never forget who came through for you during clutch time.
16:42Who always comes through for both your asses.
16:45Yes, of course.
16:58Right now, this is what matters to Noma.
17:00Aircraft global.
17:02What the fuck is this?
17:04It's her front business.
17:06It washes her drug money.
17:08But she's under too much scrutiny in Europe.
17:10So in order to secure a contract to sell her jet engine parts to the US government,
17:14aircraft global must be owned by an American citizen.
17:17Kane.
17:18Exactly.
17:19The marriage will allow Noma to become naturalized.
17:22The prenup will protect her assets until she can reclaim her company.
17:25So basically, Kane is just a straw man.
17:27Essentially.
17:28And a dumbass.
17:29Yeah.
17:30After Wiley Adams was murdered by Zion's crew,
17:33I had to find her a new government contact to bribe.
17:36That person is Sterling Reynolds.
17:38Muckety-muck in the State Commerce Department.
17:40Float that name by Carter.
17:42He'll have all the leverage he needs.
17:44All right, man.
17:46Got to split, Davis.
17:47Appreciate you.
17:49As always.
18:01Let's go!
18:15How'd you find me here, man?
18:16Come on, baby. I've been here.
18:18You're the one that's brand new and shit.
18:20I'm hearing you're the man around here.
18:22I'm just hoping you're not getting too caught up Carter's ass.
18:26Nigga, what do you want?
18:28Your flip-flopping ass was a soldier for Noma.
18:30I just want to make sure Betty Crocker ain't giving away all the fucking recipes.
18:33All right, so you trying to get punched the fuck out of me?
18:34Only if you promise not to hit like a bitch.
18:37Noma don't mean shit to Carter.
18:39He can take out whomever he wants at whatever time he wants.
18:44So you've been drinking the Kool-Aid?
18:46Better than drinking Noma's stank-ass bathwater.
18:48I mean, nigga, really?
18:49Working for Noma?
18:50Working with a dirty-ass cop?
18:52Come on, bro.
18:54You're doing anything to try to compete with me.
18:56The moment you realize you're never going to be me.
19:01Good luck, man. Let's see how long this works out for you.
19:03Let's see how long marrying your boss works out for you.
19:09Monet told me that Noma's marrying to help.
19:12You're a step above a poor boy.
19:14Don't give a fuck about you.
19:16You're another fall guy for her.
19:18You can't see that.
19:21No, no, no.
19:23No, you can't.
19:25Oh, my man.
19:28Come back and have a drink with your brother sometime.
19:33Oh, my God.
19:34So you're marrying a thug half your age?
19:36How lovely.
19:38When's the wedding?
19:39Soon.
19:40But like I told you, dear, it's not for love.
19:42It's for business purposes.
19:43You fled Europe and my father was shot in the head.
19:45Still not clear on why.
19:47You don't want me hanging around Tariq St. Patrick,
19:50whose father was a drug kingpin,
19:51and now you're marrying Kane for business.
19:55Did you know when you hired him for your company
19:57that he had an arrest record for battery and theft?
20:00You can't judge people by their past, Anya.
20:03Are you kidding?
20:04That's literally what we've done our entire lives.
20:06Well, on paper, Kane may not look like much,
20:08but he has a very sharp mind.
20:10Oh, wow.
20:11Mom, the D must be really good.
20:13Excuse me?
20:14Look, I want to know the truth.
20:15I am tired of being spoon-fed crap, okay?
20:20Are the police after you?
20:23First of all, I don't want you to worry, okay?
20:25No one's after me.
20:26How do you make your money, Mom?
20:27Really.
20:28Anya, you don't want to hear about a bunch of
20:30complicated, boring corporate deals.
20:33Yes, I do, Mom.
20:34Like, my brain can handle it.
20:47Okay, then.
20:49I'm betraying your father by telling you this,
20:51but you've given me no choice,
20:54and I imagine it's time.
20:58Your dad was a drug trafficker, Anya.
21:01Yeah.
21:02I didn't know that's what he was into when I met him.
21:07He never wanted you to know,
21:08because he wanted to protect you from a very dangerous life,
21:11which is why you've always lived in estates
21:14while we were in Europe.
21:16But this is why I had to leave him.
21:22Dad was a criminal.
21:26Sweetheart.
21:31I hated what he was doing.
21:33The lives he was ruining peddling drugs.
21:36And that's why I made it my business to be legit.
21:41Okay?
21:43My connection to him may be why there might be some
21:46law enforcement interest in me,
21:48but you don't have to worry, okay?
21:52Sweetheart, don't worry.
21:54Oh, where did it go?
22:02Hey.
22:04I'm her boyfriend, Brayden.
22:06Look, I know I'm not immediate family, but...
22:08I don't care about that.
22:09I just want to make sure that you haven't taken what she's taken.
22:11Her lab results came back and indicate that the cocaine that she ingested
22:14was laced with fentanyl,
22:16which then sent her into cardiac arrest.
22:18Do you know where she got the drugs?
22:20No.
22:23Is she gonna live?
22:25Prognosis is uncertain as of yet, but I'll tell you one thing.
22:28If she was left alone, she'd be dead.
22:33No problem.
22:50Bye-bye, baby.
22:52Bye-bye, baby.
22:53Bye-bye, baby.
22:54Fuck.
22:59Fucking cocksucker.
23:12Wait.
23:13What the fuck happened?
23:15OD.
23:18I don't know if she's gonna make it.
23:22It's all good, bro. She'll be fine. She'll pull through.
23:29That bitch is using you, boy.
23:31She is playing you for a damn fool.
23:33A sham marriage so that crooked bitch ain't gonna put you on top?
23:35Ma, whatever it is you think you know, it doesn't matter.
23:38All right? I'm with Noma now. She's gonna be my wife.
23:40So you're just gonna betray your mother for that bitch?
23:43Don't talk to me about betrayal.
23:44Detective Carter?
23:46Yeah, I knew he had a tie to working with him as a CI.
23:48And it was you.
23:49You really feeding this nigga information?
23:50You really snitching to Carter?
23:51Nah, Cain, that's not what it is.
23:53We didn't have a choice.
23:54Carter's making us work for him.
23:56And it ain't snitching if the motherfucker's a criminal, too.
23:59Plus, he sicked that fucking Felicia bitch on Diana who beat the baby out of her.
24:03Now, you good with all of that?
24:05Ma, miss me with all this family first shit, all right?
24:08You started this.
24:09You put Noma against Carter.
24:10You gon' damn near fuck around and get me and Drew killed in the middle of all this shit.
24:13Look, Cain, I'm trying to protect you both.
24:15Nah, you just looking out for yourself as usual.
24:17I know what's best.
24:19Can't you see that's the end game?
24:21I'm trying to free y'all from all these outside motherfuckers.
24:28Okay.
24:30Here's what I'm gonna do.
24:32You're gonna, uh, put on a smile.
24:34You're gonna go out there and get one of those ugly-ass mother-of-the-groom dresses,
24:37and I'm gonna marry Noma.
24:38And I won't tell her that you're the one that raided her warehouse.
24:40I didn't fucking raid her.
24:41Stop fucking lying, all right?
24:43You think you're on the outside looking in, but Noma finds this out,
24:45you'll be stuck with Carter for the rest of your short life.
24:47Short?
24:48Yeah, or applying to be a fucking greeter at work.
24:49What you never mean, motherfucker?
24:50Yeah, whatever.
24:51Pussy-whipped ass.
24:57Lizzie?
24:58Nah, my mom's was just leaving.
24:59Nigga, I thought you was getting married.
25:02Make sure you check on your sister.
25:03Yeah, all right.
25:04Don't forget to get that application.
25:13Mm-hmm.
25:33He's an orphan.
25:34I changed that little boy's life forever.
25:36Look, Dee, I understand feeling bad for the kid, but...
25:39his mother was a killer.
25:41She was into some filthy shit that'll always come back on you.
25:45Look...
25:47you had no choice, all right?
25:49But I did.
25:51I didn't have to go to her house and...
25:53trick Nott with her kid upstairs.
25:55But you didn't know, Dee.
25:58Listen...
25:59she took something special...
26:01from you, from us.
26:03Okay? It was either you or her.
26:06You didn't do shit wrong.
26:09I shouldn't have to deal with this shit.
26:11I just want...
26:13a normal life with a regular family so I could just...
26:16I don't know, do me.
26:17Mm.
26:18Sounds good, Dee, but...
26:21we gotta be realistic.
26:23That shit is damn near impossible for us.
26:30Well, at one point it was possible.
26:33And...
26:35I don't know, maybe...
26:39maybe it can happen again.
26:42You think so?
26:49Sure.
26:50Mm-hmm.
26:51Mm.
27:06Sweet.
27:07We don't need those.
27:08What do you mean, we don't need this?
27:10Is me getting pregnant again the worst thing that could happen?
27:13Yes.
27:20Eric.
27:22Dee, come the fuck on. How do you not understand?
27:25Forget it, Tariq.
27:33You know, I'm thinking...
27:35if we're gonna be one big old happy family...
27:38surely she'd get to know the man who's marrying my mom.
27:41Don't you think?
27:46So...
27:47who are you?
27:49Who pays for this amazing penthouse?
27:52I do.
27:53On a bar salary?
27:55I mean, that is what you do for work, right?
27:57Tips must be great.
27:59Man, make great investments.
28:01Oh.
28:02Uh-huh.
28:03Where did you learn how to do that?
28:05From your dad who was in prison most of your life for dealing drugs?
28:08Is that what you and my mom have in common?
28:11I don't know.
28:12You tell me, since you seem to know everything.
28:15I mean, well...
28:16you're all taught a clan, right?
28:19Not to sound offensive or anything, but...
28:21you guys are like the Gaudis of the ghetto.
28:23No?
28:27Yo.
28:28We're entrepreneurs.
28:30Does my mom sell drugs?
28:33Your mom is a badass businesswoman.
28:35Something your little ass is striving to be more like
28:37instead of prying into grown folks' business.
28:39Grown folks.
28:41But here.
28:42Take this.
28:43Go shopping or brunch or make a TikTok or some shit.
28:47Mm.
28:53I won't be calling you daddy.
29:00We're here to bring you a gift.
29:02After that, we would like to be left the fuck alone.
29:05Oh, God, I just feel like I sound like a broken fucking record.
29:08You're not in charge, Red.
29:10Drew, I don't know how you fucking dealt with this as a child.
29:13What's the fucking gift?
29:16Sterling Reynolds.
29:17It's who Noma needs to bribe in order to get her government contract under control.
29:21Set her up using your high-tech toys and you got her.
29:23Government contract.
29:26So this Noma, she's playing the majors, yeah?
29:29Which means you'll have plenty on your hands trying to keep that bitch under control.
29:32So that's what you worry about, my work-life balance, Monet?
29:34I don't give a fuck.
29:36Monet's right.
29:37We got Noma.
29:38You don't need us.
29:40Get the fuck out of here.
29:42Not gonna happen.
29:43You stay ready. I'll let you know what's next.
29:45Let's go, Drew.
29:47Drew.
29:49Drew!
29:51Why you doing this?
29:53Why you acting like this?
29:54Ma, don't make it personal.
29:56Look, Drew, this is not what you want.
29:58This is not who you are.
30:00Answering to a fucking cop.
30:02I mean, reporting to him like he's your fucking boss or some shit.
30:05What are you doing?
30:06I make my own choices, Monet.
30:09You and Kane do not get to decide who I'm gonna be.
30:13And I had to call Carter and loop him in
30:15because if I didn't, his fucking task force would have hunted us down and killed us.
30:19I didn't betray this family, okay?
30:22I saved this fucking family and you're fucking welcome.
30:25What about quitting the business?
30:27Why?
30:28Maybe it wasn't about the business.
30:30Maybe it was just doing business with family.
30:35Chill the fuck out.
30:37Who the fuck is he to you?
30:39Your father's substitute?
30:41Are you fucking serious?
30:42I shouldn't need a fucking substitute.
30:45Look, I'm being trusted to handle some king-size shit right now.
30:49And I like it.
30:50So that's what it means to me.
30:52Look, you remember, it's still my blood that runs through your veins.
30:56You are a Tejada, no matter what.
31:09What?
31:11I know you said we didn't need to talk, but I'm here anyways.
31:15Alright?
31:16I'm trying to secure my future the same way you're doing with yours.
31:18We had this argument before and you said that already.
31:21Oh, wow.
31:22So not only do you do robot shit, but you're an actual robot.
31:25That's crazy.
31:28I'm working on Noma's assignment and I have to get back to it.
31:31Congrats, by the way.
31:33Let me know where you register.
31:53Yo.
31:55Club's down, man.
31:57What the fuck do you mean club's down, man?
31:59Building got bought today.
32:01By who?
32:03Some very rich motherfucker who didn't want to be identified.
32:06Nigga, what the fuck are you talking about?
32:08Oh, I forgot.
32:10Somebody left you this.
32:22I'm sorry.
32:23I'm sorry.
32:24I'm sorry.
32:25I'm sorry.
32:26I'm sorry.
32:27I'm sorry.
32:28I'm sorry.
32:29I'm sorry.
32:30I'm sorry.
32:31I'm sorry.
32:32I'm sorry.
32:33I'm sorry.
32:34I'm sorry.
32:35I'm sorry.
32:36I'm sorry.
32:37I'm sorry.
32:38I'm sorry.
32:39I'm sorry.
32:40I'm sorry.
32:41I'm sorry.
32:42I'm sorry.
32:43I'm sorry.
32:44I'm sorry.
32:45I'm sorry.
32:46I'm sorry.
32:47I'm sorry.
32:48I'm sorry.
32:49I'm sorry.
32:50I'm sorry.
32:52Yo, freak.
32:53I need you.
32:54What's up?
32:55What's brought up?
32:56Yeah.
32:57I used your phone to re-up with the dirtbag who sold her the tainted shit.
33:00You down to pay him a visit tonight?
33:02Shit, what you got in mind?
33:04I just want to scare the motherfucker.
33:06I bet.
33:17I can't even walk like games.
33:20Let's play, motherfucker.
33:23Let's go.
33:49Listen.
33:52I need you.
34:02New owner's jacking up the rent like it's fifth to half.
34:05So we might need to find a new spot.
34:07No sweat.
34:09I've already identified another building we can use.
34:12Good soldier never waits.
34:18So normal.
34:20I'm hearing she's making more moves.
34:23I already got a plan for her.
34:25I think maybe we should hit harder.
34:28She's providing guns for the Italians in the Lower East now.
34:31You certain about this?
34:33Absolutely.
34:34She's taking over the city hood by her.
34:36There couldn't be more violence.
34:39So how is this information useful if I can't strike?
34:45She's got a gun shipment coming in tonight.
34:51My guy's going to face some resistance?
34:54Nothing y'all can handle.
34:59So natural evil versus moral evil.
35:03Okay?
35:04An earthquake versus murder.
35:07Now, in his writings,
35:08Nietzsche argues against the concept of evil altogether.
35:13Does that describe a moral reality?
35:18Well, Nietzsche said the wisest man would be able to categorize people by more than just good and evil.
35:22For me, having grown up in a religious household, the word gets thrown around too much.
35:27Think of how we use it to sell wars.
35:29The axis of evil.
35:31Or to excuse the mistreatment of others.
35:34Evildoers.
35:35So you agree with the notion that it's only used to demonize one's enemies?
35:40Most cases, yes.
35:41Um, Tariq?
35:43I think evil is real.
35:45I don't trust anyone that believes that there isn't any evil.
35:48They're probably evil themselves.
35:50Now to the opposing argument explored in the atrocity paradigm.
35:55Uh, Diana?
35:57No phone zone?
35:59Oh, sorry.
36:00Tell me what you thought about Card's argument.
36:06Um, sorry, what?
36:08It was the paper that I assigned you to read.
36:13Argue about why evil exists.
36:16Oh, right, um.
36:18I think believing in the concept of evil just means acknowledging when someone has been treated unjustly.
36:25That's what makes all of us human.
36:34Hey.
36:35Thanks for having my back in that.
36:37Oh, yeah, no problem.
36:38But you know, if S.M. and T. don't play, he'll fail you.
36:42Oh, I heard about Elle. How's she doing?
36:45Touch and go.
36:46I'm still messed up about it, though, you know?
36:48I'm not a monster.
36:49I ain't trying to kill nobody.
36:50Girl, I know that.
36:52But look, um.
36:54I don't have anybody else to talk to, so can I ask you something?
36:57And this time, girl, please don't say nothing.
37:00Okay.
37:01I promise.
37:02What's up?
37:03You pregnant again?
37:05No, but.
37:07Sometimes I feel like I want to be.
37:09I mean, that's normal after a miscarriage.
37:11Okay, well, is it normal for how when me and Tariq were kissing or whatever, I tried to stop her from using the condom?
37:16Girl, yeah.
37:17A lot of girls do that.
37:19They start trying right away for a replacement baby.
37:22Damn, I didn't know that.
37:24Well, actually, my mom got pregnant real quick after she gave up Zeke, so.
37:29So now you know how she felt.
37:31I mean, look.
37:33It's not like being a young mother wouldn't be the hardest job of your life.
37:36I mean, I got cousins who had babies as teenagers and they can't go nowhere.
37:40Can't have any dreams.
37:41Their lives just stopped.
37:43I'd say if you want the most for your life, just forget about Tariq and forget about any fairytale life that you had in your head and just focus on being a good student.
37:52Yeah.
37:56I'll see you.
37:57Hey, thanks.
38:07Hey.
38:09What the fuck are you doing here?
38:11Come on, it's a fancy school.
38:12Is that how they teach you to talk to your mother?
38:14Oh, that's what you're calling yourself?
38:15Josie, come on.
38:16Don't call me that.
38:17That's not my name.
38:19Give me a break.
38:20That's what I named you.
38:22Come on, you think I wanted to make a surprise visit here?
38:25You haven't been returning my calls.
38:27Richard left me.
38:29For some young bimbo that works at the car company.
38:33And if I know you, you'd probably think I deserve it.
38:37But I'm really in a bad spot.
38:40I was hoping maybe, maybe you could float me some cash.
38:47The man that molested me left you?
38:51Yeah.
38:52The man that molested me left you.
38:56Sounds like a fucking you problem.
38:59For all my mistakes, you know, I could still be proud of my little girl.
39:05You come a long way, Josie.
39:09Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to learn how to love.
39:16Look at you, I mean, you're making it big here at the Ivy League.
39:19Whose brains you think you got, huh?
39:21It's me inside your head.
39:24Doing things I never had a chance to do.
39:29The best thing you ever did was leave.
39:32I know that.
39:34And I'm really happy that you did.
39:42If you were on fire, I wouldn't piss on you to put you out.
39:45And if you were cold, I would never let you in.
39:48If I had every single dollar in the world, I wouldn't give you a motherfucking cent.
39:54Fuck you, mom.
39:58There she is. Cold hearted, Josefina.
40:02You're a real bitch.
40:04How is anyone ever gonna love you?
40:08Huh?
40:13We only bought us some time.
40:15Carter's still running shit.
40:16Yep, we gotta take that nigga out.
40:18No one wanted to know Carter's plan to take her out.
40:21I think if we give her that, let her know that he was trying to set her up,
40:25I think we'll have that taken care of.
40:27She'll obviously have no choice but to...
40:29Fucking clap back at his ass.
40:30Exactly.
40:31Some cold shit, but it's gotta be done.
40:34It's our best play.
40:36Start a war between them, give them the fuck off our backs.
40:39Hundred percent.
40:47Go, go.
40:48I told you not to stop.
40:49Hands where I can fucking see them.
40:51Hands in the air, let's go.
40:52Stay where the fuck you're at.
40:53We got a man going around the back, let's go.
40:56Where the fuck you going?
40:57Gun down.
41:01What the fuck do we have here?
41:10Who's gonna tell Norma this shit?
41:17This motherfucker.
41:19Too fucking far.
41:23I've been told you're the man to see when the mayor needs a favor.
41:28I've been told you're a woman who expects the same treatment.
41:33Good evening.
41:35Our feature tonight is a vintage Bordeaux from Pauillac.
41:39May I have lunch?
41:40Absolutely.
41:41Please.
41:50I'd like the US government as a client, but the red tape feels insurmountable.
41:56It's not, if you know how to navigate it.
41:58Is that where you come in?
42:00If we can agree on how I can help.
42:04Please, be direct with me.
42:07Sorry I'm late.
42:09I hope I didn't miss the appetizers.
42:12No.
42:13Sterling.
42:14Davis.
42:15Thank you for taking this meeting, brother.
42:17Why is Davis in there?
42:18As you know.
42:19What the fuck is happening?
42:20Davis is my counselor.
42:22Yes, I never let my clients take a meeting alone.
42:25Sterling understands.
42:26He was a lawyer in a former life.
42:29Any starters for the table?
42:33Yes.
42:34Sterling, please, you go ahead.
42:37Fine.
42:39I'll get the fluke.
42:41Is that good?
42:43I'm going to go with the oysters.
42:47I guess I'll take the octopus.
42:55Ma'am, may I take your order next?
42:57No.
42:59It was a pleasure meeting you.
43:01I'm so sorry, but something's come up.
43:03Let's do this another time.
43:04Another time?
43:05Where the fuck is she going?
43:07What the fuck is happening?
43:12I don't know.
43:18That was a close fucking call.
43:21How'd you know about this?
43:23I got wind of you.
43:24From a source close to the task force.
43:26Fuck!
43:29Tarika Monet warned me about this, Carter.
43:31Rare occasion when those two are right.
43:33Davis.
43:35I could lose everything.
43:36No, no, no, no, no.
43:37Not so fast, Rat Queen, okay?
43:39Look, you still got me on your side, okay?
43:42The question is, what are you going to do about Carter?
43:47I just missed getting arrested for a federal crime by a hair.
43:51It's obvious, isn't it?
43:53I have to neutralize the motherfucker.
44:00It's Davis.
44:01Shit worked like fucking clockwork.
44:02The cops, though?
44:03Yeah.
44:04I'm just going to take out Detective Carter so he can get his boot off our fucking necks.
44:10Are you high?
44:11I took a mini bump to take the edge off.
44:13Take the edge off? That shit don't take no edge off for you.
44:15The other day he was on the stage looking like Jonah Hill from fucking Wolf of Wall Street.
44:19Can you trust me for once?
44:20I'm good, Reek.
44:21Yeah, we'll see.
44:24Come on.
44:29Thanks for inviting us over.
44:30You must be Steve, you piece of shit.
44:31Who the fuck are you?
44:32Where the hell's Elle?
44:33Elle's in the hospital fighting for her life.
44:35This is why we fucked up.
44:37You can't just go...
44:38This is my operation.
44:39You like lacing your shit, Steve?
44:41Wait, wait, wait. Are you guys undercover or some shit?
44:43Because if she had a bad reaction, it ain't me that did it.
44:46Snake's alive.
44:48Then take it.
44:49What?
44:50Do a line.
44:51If your shit isn't laced, it shouldn't be a fucking problem.
44:53Fucking go. Do a line.
44:55Let's go.
44:56Come on.
44:58Let's go. Do another one.
44:59Do a fucking another one.
45:00Come on, do it.
45:02You happy, you crazy fuck?
45:03No, I'm not happy.
45:04Do a fucking another one.
45:05Be all right, be all right, be all right.
45:06That's enough of you fucking acting crazy.
45:07You're supposed to be scared.
45:08That's what the fuck I'm doing.
45:09Then fucking kill him.
45:10Who the fuck do I care?
45:11If it was your girl, you'd do the same.
45:13Let's fucking go.
45:14Do another one.
45:15Let's go.
45:16Do another one.
45:17What the fuck are you doing?
45:20Look at this shit, bro.
45:28What the fuck are you doing?
45:29Are you fucking crazy?
45:30Can you not think straight, bro?
45:32What the fuck?
45:33Help me get the fucking body.
45:34This is not supposed to work out like this.
45:35What? You're the only person that can get revenge, not me?
45:37It doesn't work like this, motherfucker.
45:38Look at you.
45:39What the fuck?
45:40This is messy.
45:41This is how we get caught.
45:42Let's go.
45:43Get a fucking rag.
45:45Fuck.
45:46Come on, come on, come on.
45:47Down here.
45:50Come the fuck on.
45:57Let's go.
45:58Shit.
45:59Fuck.
46:06You better not be made a fool.
46:07Come on, can you have some confidence in your man?
46:12There he is.
46:13Look, this is the guy.
46:14Monet and Tariq said it's Carter's right hand.
46:17He knows where the bodies are buried.
46:19And they said he's for sale.
46:21All you gotta do is make him an offer.
46:22Better than Carter's, and we're good.
46:30We know your operation.
46:32You've been taking cuts from drug dealers.
46:35Detective Carter's, who?
46:37Where's my 50k for this meeting?
46:43Once you agree to turn on Carter and report him to your superiors,
46:46you'll get another 500k.
46:48That's fucking chump change.
46:50The Reach is global, right?
46:52So that's not nearly enough.
46:54What do you have in mind?
46:55Seven figures.
46:56Hey, baby.
46:58Ain't that a bitch?
47:00Greeting, motherfucker.
47:05I could not believe when the hospital called.
47:08Believe it.
47:10You won't be getting rid of me.
47:12Did I scare you?
47:14I thought I lost you.
47:17Oh, here is your phone back.
47:21I'm sorry.
47:23I'm sorry.
47:24Here is your phone back.
47:28All I remember is,
47:30this gets me in trouble.
47:33Easy access.
47:35I don't want any more of that tainted shit ever again.
47:38Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore,
47:40because I took care of it.
47:43What do you mean?
47:44He's never gonna sell you bad shit ever again.
47:47Or anyone else.
47:49Brayden, I hope...
47:53You didn't...
47:56That's my job, to protect you.
47:58He almost fucking killed you.
47:59Fuck that guy.
48:00But he didn't.
48:01I'm still here.
48:03I didn't want that.
48:04Brayden, that's not my idea of love.
48:06It's okay.
48:07No one's gonna find out.
48:08If battling an illness my entire life has taught me anything,
48:11it's that life itself is precious.
48:14I...
48:15I can't...
48:17I can't have this kind of guilt.
48:20You can go now, please.
48:31Denise, I got this.
48:33You gotta trust me.
48:37You on the phone?
48:39No.
48:40I'm on the phone.
48:41You on the phone?
48:43No.
48:47I thought I saw you talking to somebody.
48:49No, what's up?
48:52You're not gonna fucking believe this.
48:54No one tried to flip me.
48:58You gotta be fucking kidding me.
49:00This bitch, how'd she find you?
49:02I don't fucking know.
49:03You know that shit ain't happening, though.
49:05Yeah.
49:07What'd she offer you?
49:09A lot of money.
49:12I didn't take anything.
49:19So how do you want to handle this?
49:24Agree to the deal with the caveat that you must meet in person for the first payment.
49:29Alone.
49:31Cool?
49:33Yeah, I got you.
49:35I'm putting the finishing touches on your social media.
49:37I just need you to look at them.
49:41I have backdated your post.
49:43I just need a professional picture for your work history,
49:45and then you can let me know what you think about it when it's done.
49:50I don't care about this shit.
49:52I don't care about you, Effie.
49:54What am I supposed to say to that game?
49:56I don't know.
49:57Maybe show me you have a fucking post.
49:58A post.
49:59A fucking post.
50:00Why the fucking post?
50:02A post.
50:03A fucking post.
50:04Why the fuck does everybody say that?
50:05You should have told me.
50:06Why didn't you?
50:07I didn't know she was going to wave the ring in your fucking face.
50:09Listen, she's just trying to make it seem like something that it's not.
50:12That's not what I asked you.
50:14It's business.
50:18There we go.
50:19I can deal with that.
50:21But we were supposed to be friends.
50:22And you were supposed to have my back.
50:23And for a minute, I thought you were the one person that understood me.
50:27I do.
50:28You don't.
50:29And that's been the problem my entire fucking life.
50:31Effie is always looking out for Effie.
50:33What happened to you do this one thing for Noma and you're off the hook?
50:37I don't get why it feels like I'm always being backed into a fucking corner.
50:40Where I gotta prove how I feel.
50:43You're the one that's leaving to go do some robot shit with some lame ass nigga.
50:47No, don't do that.
50:48That's a cop out and you know it.
50:57I got you.
50:58Alright, no matter what, I got you.
51:03That's all I ask.
51:10Can you show me my page that you created?
51:14I don't know.
51:29Detective Carter.
51:33What an unexpected pleasure.
51:36Nico couldn't make it, so he stuck with me.
51:41Noma.
51:44I've been riding with Nico for as long as I can remember.
51:47So what you did is a serious violation.
51:51Where I'm from, that requires a...
51:53Serious violation.
51:55Where I'm from, that requires a...
51:58Consequences.
52:01One can respect that.
52:03But when you're surrounded by enemies, you resort to whatever weapons you have handy.
52:08Enemies?
52:09Yeah.
52:10Tariq St. Patrick and M'nate Tahada said you're after me.
52:14An unfamiliar face.
52:16Wanted to know what you were about.
52:18Yeah, they didn't put it so kindly.
52:22It's ironic.
52:23They said some unflattering things about you as well.
52:27Like you planning to bribe a government official.
52:31Is that what they told you?
52:39Common enemy?
52:42Why not common goal?
52:49I'm listening.
52:51I don't want any more trouble from the NYPD and your illustrious task force.
52:56You've been using the people who work for me.
52:59Why not work with me and cut out the annoying middle bitches?
53:03I can offer you so much more.
53:07And I'm sure there's so many things you can do for me.
53:20Running.
53:22Chase me.
53:23Plotting.
53:25Betray me.
53:26Just waiting.
53:28To get me.
53:29Gotta chase me.
53:30Gotta chase me.
53:32Gotta chase me.
53:33Gotta chase me.
53:35Love me.
53:37Hate me.
53:38Running.
53:40Chase me.
53:41Running, running, running, we go.
53:43Ain't no catching me.
53:44I know what they certain to for sure.
53:46You too slow for me.
53:47That's why they hate me.
53:49Cause I'm too fast.
53:50Can't catch me.
53:51Can't catch me.
53:53Fast like a NASCAR.
53:55Coming through the back door.
53:56I ain't winning.
53:57You lose.
53:58This is what you ask for.
54:00Trying to set a trap for me.
54:02But I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
54:05Love me.
54:07Hate me.
54:08Running.
54:10Chase me.
54:11Plotting.
54:13Betray me.
54:14Just waiting.
54:16To get me.
54:17Gotta chase me.
54:18Gotta chase me.
54:20Gotta chase me.
54:21Gotta chase me.
54:23Love me.
54:48They've been plotting against me.
54:49Fucking with our business.
54:51Tariq, you'll have to take out Carter.
54:56I'm fucking tired of those motherfuckers thinking they can stand against me.
55:00What the fuck you gonna do now, Tariq?
