- What happened? - Kane got out.
Place was a bloodbath. Bodies on top of bodies.
- So how the fuck did they miss? - It was Franklin. Pulled Kane out.
You know, Frankie... You know what shit I wanna take care of?
Your fucking uncle. And that bitch wife of his.
I know you know something beyond that fucking club.
What?
Stablemen said Louie rides a couple times a week. Kane wants her alive.
Ain't nothing normal about this goddamn business. These young niggas...
Ain't got no respect, no code, no honor. They ain't us.
Everything all right?
I'm out.
- Where you goin'? - Out.
What? Jerome, where are you going?
If I had to leave, would you come with me?
Are you using Russian spies as an excuse to get me to move in with you?
Can you get surveillance up on the residence
without telling Langley too much?
You wanna get in there?
Let me figure it out.
Took a little trip today.
Figured I'd treat your old man to some dinner.
What do you think it's gonna do to your future if you kill a CIA officer's father?
Wrong answer.
What did you just do?
Transfer my fucking money, or next, I'ma go after your woman.
Then your kid, Paul. I'll bleed them. Just like I did your daddy.
Yeah. Hello?
Julie, it's Teddy.
What?
What is it?
There has been a viable threat against your life,
and you need to relocate immediately.
What? What kind of threat?
I'll tell you everything once you're settled,
but right now, you need to get moving.
There's a police escort and a few officers on their way to your house.
Teddy, stop. Tell me what happened.
My father was murdered.
And the person responsible said that you and Paul were next.
So you have to pack whatever you need and get moving, okay?
We'll talk more once you're secure.
Fuck.
Yeah, fine. Okay.
Number was traced to a farmhouse in Tonganoxie.
About 30 miles outside of the city. It's been burned to the ground.
They're starting to search the site now.
I don't want any other law enforcement agencies involved.
We handle this ourselves.
We just got to put eyes on Franklin, on his penthouse,
his mother's house, his office.
He's not gonna be dumb enough to show his face again,
but we've got to be ready if he does.
Look, I know you and your father weren't close.
But I can tell you from experience.
Losing a parent you had a complicated relationship with
can be just as difficult--
It wasn't complicated, it was nonexistent. This is very important.
So no, I'm not walking away. Not for a day, not for an hour.
Okay. Okay. I can't make you do anything, okay?
We have problems, can't afford mistakes.
I get it. You say you're good? Fine.
But you better make damn sure
because it's not just your ass on the line here.
Yeah.
I'm gonna settle up, check on my mom's, be back in a minute.
What are you doing?
Thank you.
I'm not getting back on that plane. And neither are you.
Let's just get back to LA, and we can figure out what happens next, okay?
What happens next? Full-scale government scorched earth.
This is over, my love. Time for self-preservation.
Did you see what I just saw? Your man is coming undone.
And the only way you have a future is if you walk away from him right now.
We'll play it smart.
You say you're scared, you want to get his baby out of harm's way,
you will be waiting when he gets the money.
And then we vanish like we have a hundred times before.
I have passports for the both of us. We will raise this baby, you and me.
It's how it has to be.
Since when?
Since when do you have passports for us?
Since the moment you told me what you were involved in here.
Did you think for a second that I'd agree to any of this without an exit plan?
This is what you wanted from the start.
Why you came here, why you agreed to all of this--
You called me. And I came because you are my daughter,
and I love you, unlike that man in there who will sell you out in a second if--
What's this?
We've been talking, and in light of what's just transpired,
we think it might be best if, Veronique and I didn't go back to LA.
Oh, yeah?
We all want what's best for her, for your baby.
So we'll take a car to Phoenix, fly from there, make sure she's safe,
and then you can come meet us when you've sorted this all out.
Is that what you want, V?
No. No, it isn't.
I won't go back to that life. Ruthless and always running.
And I won't condemn my child to it, Mother.
But you'll condemn your child to death or prison?
- Life with a monster? - He's not a monster. Not to me.
To me, he is a man who hasn't lied.
Or raised a hand. Or left me alone in a prison cell.
He's the first person to ever put me first.
He's doing everything in his power to deliver the life I want.
No matter how he has to do it.
Until that changes, Mother,
I'm staying.
Okay?
Come on, baby.
Sir.
He doesn't give a fuck about the KGB.
He's threatening to shut it all down and send me to prison.
And what about Franklin?
He's in Kansas City.
Kansas City? What is he doing there?
Killing Teddy's father.
You still think it's a good idea to make the deal with him?
I think I can.
Searching blind ain't smart.
Yeah, well, I can't sit around doing nothing no more.
And y'all two, y'all been with him for weeks. Where the fuck was he going?
He mostly been holed up here or out doing business.
Jerome fucking Saint!
Guess you've got to put that on my tab.
You know what? I'm not doing this with you.
You can't even barely stand up. We'll talk tomorrow.
That talk tomorrow ain't gonna work for me.
I'll be gone. Going to Jamaica. Getting on a plane.
- What? - Yeah.
I'm gonna pack my goddamn bags, go to the airport,
get a ticket for goddamn Kingston.
Sit back real easy, free.
- Okay, Jerome. Fine. - Think I'm bullshitting?
No! I think you're looking for a fight, and I ain't biting.
I ain't looking for no goddamn fight. I'm telling you, I'm goddamn done.
I'm done selling crack. I'm done getting shot at.
I'm done trying to kill my goddamn family.
Okay, fine! What the fuck am I supposed to do with that?
Maybe you're supposed to acknowledge this shit is fucking insanity.
The money ain't worth this shit, Lou.
No matter how fucking wrong this shit is, ain't nothing gonna make it right.
Or maybe...
Maybe you stop this shit because you love me.
I know I stayed in this shit for you. Right?
'Cause if I left, your ass would be dead.
I know it ain't your fault.
You're just fucked up. Yeah. You don't got no way to be happy.
This is my goddamn fault for trying to fix you.
But I'm goddamn done. Nah, you ain't my problem no more.
I'm free of this shit.
You don't mean this.
This is the realest thing I ever fucking said to you.
You made the right choice.
Come on.
Teddy will retaliate, so we got to stay out of sight until this is over.
The house, the shelter. Can't go to either one.
He can come at you too, Lee.
If Teddy wanna come at us in the Projects,
I say good luck to that cracker motherfucker.
So this was all part of your original plan?
Waiting around wasn't working.
Now he wants us just as bad as we want him.
And he'll be rattled. Vulnerable.
I just need to draw that motherfucker out.
Listen, I'm exhausted, okay?
So, Mama, why don't you follow me and V back to the stash house, huh?
I'll be right here. Leon's right. Teddy ain't coming in the Projects.
And I'm not laying on some cot in a flophouse
or hiding in a hotel room under a fake name.
- Mama, you're not listening to me-- - We'll keep her safe. It's all good.
All right.
Let me know if you need anything.
I know you're in there.
You don't want your neighbors to hear this. You should open the door.
Can I come in?
I was just heading home.
That's not really true. I was headed to my girlfriend's house,
and it occurred to me that this might be the last opportunity we have
to speak before it's too late.
You making coffee?
You want me to make a coffee?
There's so many questions I wanted to ask.
All the things you must've done to end up in this place.
All the lives you must've lived.
You're wondering what the play is here.
There isn't one.
I know how this is supposed to go. I know how this is supposed to end,
but I thought maybe we could sit down and talk.
See if there wasn't another way...
before you try to explode my world and I kill you for it.
I'm open to suggestions if you have them.
Go to your people. You tell them you got it wrong.
I'm not doing what you think I am.
And if I did,
you think I'm allowed to determine what I can and cannot pursue?
I just think a dead end's a dead end.
They're not here. You are.
What if I believe what you're doing is a crime that should be exposed?
Then I'd say there's people in this world
who think the way you live your life is a crime.
Maybe that's none of their fucking business.
There's just so few people on this planet who understand what it is we do.
What it costs.
And how hard it is to keep going...
when you know that, inevitably, you're gonna end up all alone.
Your whole life sacrificed at the altar of secrecy.
And then you wonder if it was worth it.
Or worse, you wonder why you did it all in the first place.
What am I actually trying to live up to?
And I know how crazy this sounds,
but ever since I learned that you were here, I actually felt less alone.
Holy shit.
I can destroy you just as easily as I could have killed you tonight.
And you know that.
Walk away. Take the gift I'm giving you.
Take whoever's size ten shoes those are in your closet
and go live the life you wanna live.
If you're still in this apartment tomorrow night,
I'll assume you still want my help.
You head out...
you slip our surveillance...
next time I see you, I'll kill you.
How you feeling?
Been better.
I know you said you're done.
But I got some things to say if you wanna hear.
Sure.
I'm sorry...
that our life has become this.
I knew that Franklin wouldn't be happy if I went over his head.
But I could never have known that Teddy would do that.
And that would bring us here
with you and Franklin on opposite sides of the gun.
I've been asking myself why I couldn't just be happy with where we were.
'Cause we had money, right? Power. Respect.
But no. You did. 'Cause I've been running this thing, right?
And you see that. But our customers? All they see is you.
Every deal we make, they talking to you.
They look at me long enough to wink or lick they lips.
They ain't dealing with me.
Is that enough to die over, Lou?
Self-fucking-worth?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think maybe it is.
Lou, I've done everything for you. Everything.
I know you have, Jerome.
So when you're saying that you can't do that here,
that you done, I hear you.
But I just need more time because I made promises.
You mean like Teddy? I'm not scared of Teddy.
Maybe I am. I just want to get our money out of Panama.
And then I don't know. I don't know. That's what I'm saying.
I just need some time.
Fuck, it's Skully.
I'm supposed to be doing a drop.
I'll do the motherfucking drop. You go on and get your mind right.
Business.
Lou, I can't stay.
I won't.
Hey. I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I think I was having a bad dream.
I know you don't want to leave,
but after this, I don't think you can stay here.
So I could help you find a place if you'd rather not be with me.
For how long?
Until Franklin's dead.
So that's what happens now, you kill Franklin?
And then what?
I'm not good with having my fate in someone else's hands.
If you and I are going to continue this,
I need to know how you see things playing out from here.
Depends.
On what?
On what you want.
I keep looking around my life, and I got no one.
The one bright spot in all of it is you.
What do you want? You wanna leave?
If you wanna take the money, you wanna figure out how to use it,
that's fine.
I'm done giving up things for them.
- What do you want? - I'm going to be honest.
That might be the sexiest thing a man has ever said to me in my entire life.
- You're a difficult man to reach. - Yeah. Been busy.
So I heard.
I'm guessing Teddy's not too happy with me right now.
Probably give you anything you want to help set me up, right?
The problems I got, you're the only one who can solve them.
What you need to get this done, Oso?
- You said ten million. - I did say that, yeah.
And I can get that money to you, but you gotta wait till after I have him.
Can't wait. Need them now.
In that case, I can give you a million.
You know what Teddy did to me, okay?
Why I'm after him in the first fucking place.
This is all I got. A million. Take it or leave it.
Okay, a million.
Good. Anything else?
Yeah. I'm gonna need passports for me and my entire family.
- Can you help me? - All right. Call this number.
Guy called Top Notch will answer. Tell him I sent you.
- Tell him I'm paying. All right? - Okay.
How soon can you move?
As soon as I get the documents and the money.
You know it's not going to be easy to find Teddy after last night, right?
- I know. - One more thing.
I'm gonna need your word that after you get what you need from Teddy,
you're gonna kill him.
- No problem. - I'm fucking serious.
You could have left me with those vatos, and you didn't, so I trust you.
But this time, it's not only me, it's my family. Okay?
Teddy cannot be alive to come after us once I betray him.
This is the easiest promise I'ma make to you today, Oso.
If you get me Teddy, I'll kill that motherfucker.
Very good.
So we gotta just keep coming here?
Yeah. Till she turns up, I guess.
It's your turn.
Yeah, I know. I promised I'd visit more. It's just been a lot going on.
After we ride, I'll tell you all about it. Yeah?
Y'all hang back, yeah? Let's go, baby.
Shit. Oh, shit.
For Leon?
Should you really be going there right now?
It's a drop. Both got keys to the same car.
In case anything happens, shouldn't know where the car is?
108th and Fig. A Chevelle.
- Do you fish, Frankie? - No.
Well, I do. And I caught something big.
2376 Alameda.
Come and see.
You know you're doing an awful lot to protect a pig. He worth all this?
I tell you, and then what?
You're really gonna let me just walk out that door?
Hey, yo. When I woke up this morning,
my girl was threatening to move back to Vallejo.
I begged her to move here after my bid. Said it was safe.
So, we talk, hearing this shit right? 'Cause now I'm looking like a liar.
Used to be, days like this,
I talk her down.
You know, pull her panties to the side, show her I needed her,
that I loved her.
But this argument kept going on and on.
All because of you and a fucking cop.
Don't you owe me this kindness?
Where the fuck is he?
Looking good.
Beat that.
Stay put.
I've got a gun, and I'm not giving it up.
Kane asked me to come. I walk in or I'll leave. Your call.
Hey.
They in there.
You straight, homie?
Yo, the stables was a lick, my nigga.
Yeah, I can see that.
What you need me here for?
Look, once I get what I need,
I figure you wanna do the honors.
Take her out.
Nah.
That's all you.
Did I ever tell you my people were from Allensworth?
Black farmers.
So, water got bad. Lost a lot of ranchers,
so one summer,
my Grandpa said that I had to brand the cows.
I was, like, nine, ten, crying and shit.
'Cause, you know, I didn't want to hurt 'em.
But he said the farm was how we protect our family.
That the farm means how we protect our livelihood.
A legacy. To take pride in that.
So I did.
Branded every cow
with my head held high.
You know what I want.
You still don't wanna talk, Louie?
Okay.
You a tough one, huh? I'm just gonna have to break you down.
Got a lot of niggas, fresh out...
love feisty redbones like you.
Guess we having ourselves a little party.
Hey. Call Percy. Tell him I got a business proposition for him.
And she bad.
- Get Ricky's ass over here too. - Yeah, man.
Yeah, nigga, do your thing. Come on, Indiana.
Give up Buckley.
And pray for a quick death.
'Cause what these niggers plan to do to you...
Why do that to yourself?
Franklin...
You did this to me.
Hell, yeah.
Fine.
You want Teddy?
I'll help you.
I'm sorry, Louie...
Already got an 'in'.
Fuck.
Come on.
Project counsel?
Gotta problem, then bring it to whoever we elect for that.
And they squash it. That way, we govern ourselves.
You gonna do this before or after you resupply the cook houses?
We need rules and regulations first.
Lee, we need everyone on a full stomach, then they're gonna listen.
What I'm not about to do is have chaos up in this motherfucker.
Just gotta handle this shit first.
Leon! Franklin's on the phone. He sound stressed.
All right.
Leon...
Yeah, I got you. But I can't guarantee he'll be back though.
Look, just keep paging him 911 until he does, okay?
Then what? There ain't much I can say to make sure he call you if he does.
There is.
I'll bring a goddamn calvary. Give me the fucking address, Leon!
"1625 Duarte St." I'll be right there.
What's up, G?
They got her.
- Who? - Kane got her.
- Grabbed what I could. - You didn't have to come, man.
- Yeah, well, this is my shit too. - Yeah, we all did something.
Bitch nigga!
What the hell is this? Where the fuck she at?
If I'd told you straight up,
you would have charged in there and gotten yourself killed, man.
The fuck you care?
'Cause then they'd know I'm the one that dimed 'em out,
and I'll be fucking dead. Now you wanna yell and scream,
or you wanna do shit the right way and survive?
You can kill me if you want to, or we can stop wasting time
and save your wife from what them jailhouse niggas plan to do to her.
- There's knowledge out here, homie. - Man, fuck that book.
It's weed, drink and a bitch in there, but you out here with me.
You a simp, homie.
Who wanna run a train on a hoe that's crying and shit?
- Shit, me and every nigga here. - Damn. Well, shit.
What's going on in here?
Okay.
Nice lil' redbone.
Yeah, might be room on the track if that monkey talking.
Well, talk to it. It'll talk back.
Like what you hear, get me what I need,
make a nice bottom bitch.
Well, all right then.
Sup?
- Thought you left. - I did. Now I'm back.
- Gotta search your ride. - Nah, nah, chill.
He good.
Let him go.
You seen Todd? The boy looked like the back of a Nestle Crunch.
You stupid, man.
Blunt got my mouth all dry. I'ma head to the store. Roll with me?
And miss an opportunity to go in? Hell no.
So, you'll tell me where Buckley is
before or after we get started, Miss Lady?
Kane tell you who I am?
A bitch that'll bend, but won't break.
A loaded bitch.
Can pay you whatever you want, just let me outta here.
Don't let her go.
Shit. All right.
Don't fucking touch me!
Kane fucking up the church's money.
It's all right.
They're paying for the inside not the outside.
I need you to take all that off.
I see.
That you was young when you got put on, huh?
Who did that? Your sister? Or your mom?
Mom had you turning tricks for the light bill even before you could bust a nut.
You probably sucked more dick than the hoes you got on the stroll, huh?
This make you feel better about what they did to you?
'Cause I see your scars. They from pinning women down.
You like it when they fight you off.
Like you tried to when you was little.
You a loquacious hoe, huh? All that mouth.
You gonna have to do better than that.
Now take them motherfucking clothes off before I have to do it for you, bitch.
I'd rather take a fucking bullet.
Talking that shit to me?
Somebody sprinkle a rubber round me. I ain't trying to catch that dice low.
Yeah, this where the party at?
Kane still in there?
Nah, his lady paged him. I'ma let Kane know you here.
Shit, bitch.
Get out there and see what the fuck that was.
Go!
Go get goddamn Leon!
I gotta get the fuck outta here.
Hey, Perc. Hey, Percy, don't open that fucking door, nigga!
Fuck.
Ricky. Got that nigga. Come on.
Louie!
- Aim at the door! - Shut up!
I'm okay. I'm okay, baby. I'm okay. I'm okay.
Stay right there, nigga. You'll get your bitch back when I get out that door.
Put your fucking gun down.
No? Or we can shoot it out.
But I promise you, she gets the first fucking bullet.
You get the next one.
Come the fuck on, Rome! You know how this shit go.
We from the same block. We squared up. We squared out.
Well, a lot of niggas died.
So how about we call it even.
What you think about that, OG?
Nah, nigga.
Jerome.
No, wait! Wait. No! Jerome. Jerome.
No! Stop, stop, stop, stop. No! Jerome.
Baby, baby, wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Baby, wake up.
No, baby. Jerome, get up.
No, no, no! No! Wake up!
No, baby. Get up! Get up, baby. Get up! Get up! Get up!
Come on, baby. Let's go home. You gotta get up right now.
Unc?
You gotta get up! You gotta get up right now!
- Come on! Get up! Get up. Jerome. - Unc?
- Get up. Baby, let's go. Wake up! - Unc?
No! No! You get up! Get up!
