Man: Previously on "power"...

Angela: When nomar was dying,
he told me who stabbed him.

Tommy:
Angela, a federal prosecutor.

A goddamn
United States attorney.

I know about you and your track record
on this lobos case.

You're not only no longer leading
the lobos task force,

you're not on it at all.

Angela, there was a shooting
tonight at the club.

- Oh, my god, Jamie, are you...
- I'm okay.

What if that bullet
was meant for you?

Kanan: With ghost alive,
the best way for me

to approach this is
to attack from the inside.

And I got a man already planted
in the organization.

My son. He'll tell me anything
I want to know.

- The shooter?
- I called some friends in Miami.

Sent them a picture of this.

Make sure you look
at more than Miami, julito.

She's got to have some kind
of connection locally,

- someone with resources.
- I want my downpayment.

Okay. I can give you your money.

But she ran.
I don't know where she is.

Tommy, where the fuck are you, man?
A lot of shit popping off.

It's about Holly.

She got shot.

I they say this is a big rich town I

j' I just come from the poorest part I

it's nice you could make it out
this morning, Jamie.

You leaving me already, beautiful?
I only been an hour.

Make me feel like a Booty call.

You're not a Booty call.
I left you a hundred on the dresser.

Only a hundred?

I'm insulted. Ouch.

Seriously, where you headed?

Something special
happening at work?

No, not at all.
I'm going for a run.

I got to keep this
all tight for you, right?

- You're perfect.
- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.
- That's sweet.

But I'm not getting
back into bed with you.

J' when I say so,
everybody say something I

j' when I say go,
everybody move something I

j“ push 'em in, push 'em out,
push 'em in, push 'em out... I

j' push 'em in, push 'em out,

j' when I say go,

j“ push 'em in, push 'em out,
push 'em in, push 'em out... I

j' push 'em in, push 'em out,
push 'em in, push 'em out I

j' why you acting like winners
think they're hot shit? I

j' every time
I touch me a Mike... j'

hey.

All right.
Well, it's nice to see you out here.

You haven't been out here
in a while.

Yeah, I missed it.

- Helps me sort things out.
- Oh, yeah.

Look, I know Mike said
you can't talk about lobos,

but, I mean, he's not gonna
find out out here, right?

I'm fantastic, Angela.
Thank you for asking. Jesus.

Greg, I'm sorry.

How long are you
going to be mad at me?

Mea culpa, okay?

I mean, can we get past it?

So where you want me
to take you, uncle g?

Wait right here.
I'll tell you when to go.

Ghost: Quantico.

That motherfucker's FBI.

Greg: I'd rather do...

- Oh, just a sec.
- Okay.

Recording: This is Angela valdes.
I can't take...

- So come on, tell me.
- What?

You guys getting close
to anything?

Yeah, we're making some headway.

And that's basically
all I'm gonna say.

Angie, I wanna see you
again this week.

So leave the key
with your doorman

and I'll come over
and I'll cook dinner for you, okay?

See you soon.

I promise I won't
ask you anything else

about Mike or saxe or lobos...

If you beat me to 86th street.

Fuck!

Let's go, Shawn.

All right,
so soldados picked up.

Tainos got the carriers out.

But we're gonna need the rsks
or somebody else on board

if we're gonna make
a serious dent here.

Any news on the shooter?
Give me something, julito.

I put word out
to my Miami connect.

I'm gonna hit you
as soon as I find out.

I just got in from Ibiza.

It's cocktail hour there.

Forgive me for celebrating.

It's just so lovely that we're going
to be spending so much time together.

I didn't agree to anything yet.

You own the building,
not the club.

Yes, for now that's true.

But I think it's in
your best interest

if you allow me to absorb truth
as part of my brand.

I'll buy in, become your partner,
and since I own the building,

there goes that pesky rent cost.

Then there's all
the other benefits.

Bigger budgets for parties.
Access to my guest lists.

My relationship with the media.

My expertise.

It's the partnership
you always wanted.

Except, you know, technically
I would be in charge.

What do you want from me

in exchange for your generosity?

You'll run the place just like you did
when you owned it outright.

You know, what you do

with the music
and the mix of people.

Except now you'll report
directly to me.

Mm, Simon.

Or I can terminate your lease

and you can take the truth name

and find another space,
build it out, get it permitted...

If you have the money
to do that.

But I think we both know
that you don't.

Okay. I'll work for you.

But I want to know exactly
how and when to buy you out.

The terms of your freedom?

Yes. Yes, Simon.
The terms of my freedom.

You get this place running
at 20% profit, I'll give you a number.

And if I have that number?

Cash. No financing.
Banks are so tedious.

So if I have your number, cash,

you're telling me you'll sell your stake
back to me, no bullshit?

No bullshit.

How come I don't believe you?

I think it's a cultural thing.

To truth.

To truth.

Are we done here, "sir"?

Oh, yes. Go ahead, take it.

We'll chat.

So how was your run?

Good, thanks.

You got my message?
Does that sound good to you?

Of course it does.

I'll leave the key
with the doorman.

But you don't have
to give it back.

It's yours. You can keep it.

So I can have a key
to your house permanently?

What if you come home
and I'm sitting on your couch

in my boxers watching ESPN?

Are you kidding?
I would love it.

That's exactly what I want.

Okay, baby, you got it.

When I find that bitch rolla hired,
I'm gonna kill her. Twice.

Wouldn't even be going
to the hospital if she hadn't...

We'll find her.
Then we'll confirm whether rolla did it.

Rolla fucking did it.
I told you that shit.

The shit you need to confirm
is what the fuck is up

with Angie-from-the-block
turned fucking fed.

The night you saw her,
walk me through it.

Walk me through the whole night.

Ruiz asked me to ice
one of his soldiers.

Asshole named nomar.

Sticking it to ruiz's
14-year-old kid.

Yeah.

Ruiz swore loyalty to us
for doing it.

Ruiz says motherfucker's
gonna be at this park.

He is, he gets a call,
gets spooked.

Heads out to queens.

I stabbed that motherfucker.
One, two, three.

Went down easy.

Then your girlfriend comes running in
screaming his name.

Calls for backup.
Says, "this is ausa Angela valdes.

My ci's been stabbed."

So this nomar cat,
he was Angela's informant.

What if ruiz makes him, sends you
to kill him, you get caught,

- two birds, one stone?
- What?

- Ruiz met with lobos, remember?
- Yeah.

To move us the fuck out of the way,
Tommy. I'm just saying.

What if he set you up
with a time and a place,

you get there, the target
fucking gets a phone call

when you're supposed to do him,

then he leads you on
a fucking wild-goose chase

all over town, you end up
right in Angela's lap?

You think he set me up?

We suspected ruiz's shit before.

He's been playing straight
with us the whole time.

Maybe, man, but look. You know
I don't believe in coincidences.

And right now, coincidently,
the motherfucker's out

selling our product while asking
for a goddamn seat at the table.

And what's worse,
we can't fucking make a move on him,

'cause we fucking need him.

We got product collecting dust
in a fucking warehouse.

Rsk is playing hardball.
Still not on board yet.

What should I think?
You tell me.

Maybe we should talk to drifty
out in Jersey.

Yeah, maybe we should.

We're almost here.

Let me just get Holly settled
and we'll head out there.

- All right?
- All right.

You haven't been returning
any of my calls.

Paz: You threw me
out of your apartment.

You're right. Look, paz,

this thing with Jamie,
it's a mess, okay?

But I love him. He loves me.

And I need to share that
with you.

I need you to be
a part of my life, too.

I just don't want you
to get hurt.

It's just...

Whenever I think we're getting close
to getting somewhere,

he pulls back.

I sound stupid.

How was Miami?

We didn't go.

But he's making me
dinner tonight.

Is it worth it?
Is it worth putting your life on hold

for a man you barely know?

We've known each other
our entire lives.

In a way, we know each other
better than anyone else ever could.

It's easy to love someone

when you only see them
an hour a day.

All right, look, Tommy,
when you talk to Holly,

you got to sell it, okay?
It was just a random shooting.

Some crazy bitch disgruntled
she couldn't get in the club.

- She can't know it was a hit.
- Yeah, I wouldn't tell her nothing.

You sure about that?
She called me "ghost," Tommy.

Where'd she get that from,
Tommy?

What the fuck is that, man?

How could you say anything
about our business?

What the hell were you thinking?
I've known you 25 fucking years.

You ain't never
put our business in the street.

- Holly ain't the fucking street.
- Holly looked me in my face.

She called me "ghost"
in a club full of people.

She didn't give a fuck.
That ain't street, Tommy?

Okay, I fucked up.
But I can handle my woman,

just like you can handle Angie.

Tommy, I've known Angie
for 20 years.

You've known this girl
30 seconds compared to that.

- I know her well enough.
- Then know this well enough.

She opened her mouth to me, Tommy,
she'll open her mouth to somebody else.

She says the wrong thing
to the wrong person,

she gets hurt.
You do the math, brother.

I get it. I got you.

Hey. How you doing?

I got it. Beat it.

So here's anibal.

Primera of the
hermanos tainos. Dead.

Here's vibora ruiz,
stabbed and left to bleed out.

He survived.
But this guy, rolla,

head of the rock street killers,
was gunned down in cold blood.

And your working theory
was that lobos' New York distro

- was cleaning house?
- Something like that.

But the nomar murder
seems off-trend somehow.

I'm not totally convinced
that the nomar arcielo kill

was part of the pattern here.
I know Angela valdes thought so.

It was hard for me to believe.

Agreed.
Here are three broken families.

Deaths like these
make people want revenge.

Make them want to talk.
Qdubs, the new head of rock street,

was questioned by NYPD.
Didn't say a word.

Ruiz is old school.
Knows better.

I was thinking
we should try... him.

According to NYPD gang squad,

this man, Diego Martinez, who goes
by the street name "Cristobal,"

is the new head of the tainos.

I'm thinking he might
have something to say.

If we spook Cristobal
by bringing him in,

doesn't that work against us?

If lobos gets wind,
he could just eliminate

all these witnesses and then
we'll have nowhere to go.

Our investigation in la proved
that lobos knows we're after him.

Still got to do business.

Okay, Coop, it's your show.

Knox, go get Cristobal.

I made sure nobody followed me.

It's my fault he's dead.

You didn't hold the knife.

Do you think putting the man
who killed nomar in prison

would make you feel better,

knowing that you made nomar's killer
pay for what he did?

Server: Need more coffee here?

Thank you.

I can put nomar's killer in jail
for the rest of his life

if you help me.

I can't.

You mean because
your father ordered it?

I don't want your dad.

I want the man
who stabbed nomar.

He would have visited
your father a few times

in the weeks before
nomar's death.

Someone your father
thought was important.

Nomar tried to help me
with this drawing, Isabel.

Don't you want to finish
what he started?

- Take it slow, baby.
- I'm fine. I'm fine.

Take it slow.
I know you're fine.

All right,
I'm gonna put you here.

All right, sit down, be careful.

Holly, you need that thing.

Okay, tough guy.

What are you doing?

Baby, you shouldn't be drinking wine
with the painkillers.

That's funny coming from you.

It's gonna take
a lot more than a bullet,

a few drinks,
and a pill to take me down.

Holly, something I need
to talk to you about.

What is it, Tommy?

It can wait.

It's nice to be here with you.

When I woke up, I was scared.

I didn't see you.

I'll never let anybody
hurt you again.

You hear me?

I swear. I promise you that.

Never.

I'll fucking kill anybody
who even thinks about it.

When I heard
about you getting...

Hurt, I went crazy
like a motherfucker.

It all went down so fast.

What happened?

I don't remember anything.

Some fucking loser
crazy chick got in the club.

Drugged up. Took some shots.

Wanted someone to pay
for her not being on the list

or some shit like that.

Sorry.

Oh, fuck.

I got to do a run, babe.

Out in Jersey.

I'll be back.

The loa speak to me, fantome.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Stop speaking Haitian.

How does your loa consult you?

They say there are many birds
on the branches

and I am left
to starve on the dirt.

Yo, your iolos think
you getting a bum deal?

There are many people
who want access to my network.

I will need to keep a bigger cut
than we have previously discussed.

35%.

Mm-mmm, straight-up deal.

Pure product. You cut it
as many ways as you like.

25%, straight quarters.
The best we can offer.

I believe in you.

But the ancestors say
I can do better.

Great. Ghost, you wanna
cut on the fucking lights now?

The ancestors say
you will be back.

- We can't afford it.
- Yeah, no shit.

I'll hit up the serb.

You're standing funny, man.
I can tell you packing from a mile away.

Yeah, well,
I ain't used to it yet.

I need you to take me
to your uncle g house.

Good. 'Cause I'm sick of pretending
that you ain't out.

You got some more
pretending to do.

Ghost can't know I've been out.

Can't know nothing
you know about me, a'ight?

Yeah, I know.

You secure that weapon.

Make sure you don't
"plaxico" yourself...

Drop the shit
and get shot out here.

Tasha: So how's your boy doing?

Ugh. Tommy moved Holly
into his place.

Tommy playing nursemaid?

I never thought I'd see that.

And what's worse is this fool
told this girl about our business.

She called me ghost.

That basic bitch.

You know, Tommy's a fool
for gapping off.

We got to control her, t.
You know, keep her safe.

Make her feel like
she's on the inside,

like she can turn to us
if something goes wrong.

I'm gonna tell you something else.
She ain't gonna buy it from me.

All right. I'll talk to her.

Thanks, t.

- What's up, uncle g?
- Shawn, what up?

Hey. What's up, g?
Family back in the house.

What the hell?

Kanan motherfucking stark
in my goddamn living room.

- What you do, break out?
- Nah, man.

I walked out legal. All done.

I thought you had a year left.

- Good behavior.
- Good behavior?

- Tasha, am I seeing things?
- Mm-mmm.

I can't believe you here.

Me either, g.
10 years is a long time.

It's good to see you, kanan.

- Don't he look good?
- You haven't changed at all.

Hi. You did.

You were just a little kid
when I went in.

Look like you filled out
in all the right places.

- Hey, man.
- My bad, g.

I ain't been around
a lot of women in a while.

It's all 'hood, man. Shawn, why didn't
you tell us your pops was getting out?

- I didn't know.
- I didn't give him no warning.

They just told me yesterday.

You want to, you know...
You want to crash?

You need a place to stay?
We got you, man.

- We got plenty of room.
- I'm good, man.

You did enough for me
on the inside.

I just hope I get
a chance to pay you back.

Come on, least I could do.

Damn.

Y'all living like "George and weezie"
for real. Look at this.

Mm-mmm, no. What...?

You knew he was gonna do it.

- Tasha: Mm-hmm.
- Damn.

Y'all did better without me

than y'all would have did
with me on the street.

Kanan: I hope Tasha hurry up
with that grub, man.

I know she burn like
a motherfucker, right?

Come on, man,
you know she got you.

You remember she can cook?
I'm a lucky man, k.

You are. Shawn told me
about that shit

that went on at the club
the other night.

- You could be a dead man.
- Yeah, that's some shit, ain't it?

- Yeah.
- And the fucked-up thing is

rolla was already dead
before the hitter showed.

It makes me wonder whether rolla
even ordered the hit, man.

That's bullshit.

He could have ordered that call
before he took the bullet.

I don't know, man.

Man, why you acting like
you so surprised, man?

You raised rolla. You wrote
the blueprint for his moves, man.

Why wouldn't he want
to take out the boss?

It's the same shit
you did to breeze.

Living large
up in this penthouse

done made you lose your mind
or some shit, man?

Come on, man, ain't no friends
out here on these streets.

Niggas is hungry,
looking for their next meal.

They wanna take it from you.

All of them. Rolla, too.

You know when a nigga wants
something a nigga got,

that nigga want you dead.

You worried about
that hitter coming back?

'Cause I can make a few calls.
I got some connects.

- We'll find the bitch, man.
- No, I already covered it.

You know, got somebody
out there looking for her, k.

All right, well, I'm here.

- Just say the word.
- I appreciate it, man.

All that money you put on my books,
I feel like I owe you, man.

Come on, man, I already told you.
It's the least I could do.

- I heard the fucking news.
- Kanan: Oh, man.

- Welcome back, bro.
- Look at this nigga.

Tommy:
Shit, look who it is, motherfucker.

Damn, you look good, k.

Kanan:
Your cracker ass got big as shit.

- I'm a late bloomer.
- You still crazy?

You better believe it,
motherfucker.

- Look at this.
- How's business?

It's not so good.
We got some problems with the rsk.

Hey, man, we can talk
about business anytime, all right?

K just got out, man.
We got to take care of him...

High style, right?
We gonna throw him a party.

- Tommy, tell him what we gonna do.
- Now you talking.

We're gonna throw you one with
the biggest asses you have ever seen.

- That's still your shit, right?
- Damn straight.

But listen, I gotta get going.
Make a few stops and shit.

I just went to go see my moms,
came straight here.

All right, man.

Stay in touch.

Whoa, whoa!

Time's up, motherfucker.
Where's your bitch?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Gotta find her first.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Listen! Listen!

I got people looking for her.
I gotta find her first.

Look, just listen, all right?

Look, I can't get
a location on her, man.

She hasn't answered her phone.
No one's seen her.

It's like she fucking
disappeared.

The problem is
if somebody finds you,

what guarantees me you gonna
tell them the same story?

Just give me a chance.

You gonna cry like a bitch,
I'm gonna make you suck it like one.

Open your mouth.
Open your fucking mouth.

Open your mouth!

Don't act like
it's your first time.

I just left a bunch of punks
like you in the joint.

I'll do anything you want.

Please,

I have a family, man.
I have little kids.

You should have tried
harder to find her.

Fucking punk.

Tommy: I don't give a fuck
who your connect is.

I'll give you a better price.

Make you money.

Some things are worth
more than money.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Like my life.
My children's lives.

Milan would not take
my defecting easily.

You scared of this motherfucker?

What?

Milan makes people
into fucking cevapi.

It's grinded meat with tomatoes.

He's like cannibal.

I will not betray him, Tommy.

Remind me not to eat
at this fucking joint.

Tommy on recording: Holly, baby.

I got to be out of town
for a few days.

I'll call you,
but I don't know when.

I love you, okay?

I love you, Holly.

Tommy: Hey, holl, I know
you don't recognize this number,

but could you call me back
as soon as you get this?

I need you to come meet me
outside the city.

I'll explain when you get here.

Julio:
That motherfucker was fresh.

Talking about a day or less.

Tommy: She probably did it.
Make sure we couldn't find her.

Ghost: That would mean
she was still in town yesterday

and I ain't buying that.
I think the bitch is long gone.

Yeah, well, either way,
the trail is cold.

Julio: I still got my people looking
for her in Miami. Nothing yet.

Well, keep us fucking posted.

In the meantime,
there's this to deal with.

Shit. When lobos
said twice the product...

More than that.
We need more help moving it, man.

Drifty's fucking price
is too high.

We got to dig in our pockets
to make ends meet.

What happened with the serb?

It's a no-go.
He won't drop his connect.

He said the motherfucker
eats people.

Yeah, I heard of that guy.
Yeah, I ain't fucking with him.

Well, for now,
I guess neither are we.

Still nothing from qdubs? Rsks?

Neither of them. As long
as ruiz is on board, they aren't.

You think we can get the tainos
to move more weight?

Cristobal is young, he's hungry.

I could make that happen.
I'll set up a meet.

Tasha, this is so nice.

You didn't have to do all this.

Well, lord knows you can't cook
in your condition.

And we all know
Tommy can't cook a can of soup.

Okay?

How are you feeling?

Okay, I guess.

- On the mend.
- Good.

We wanted you to get
the best doctors.

The best everything.

You know, my husband,
he paid a" your medical bills,

so you're free and clear.
You don't owe the hospital a penny.

As an employee of truth,
I was covered,

but I thank you
for your generosity.

Look, you're with Tommy.

That means you're family, okay?

So anything that
happened before now,

it's all in the past.

I appreciate that.

I know Tommy wants us
all to get along.

Tasha:
I think everyone wants that.

Tasha, what happened
that night at the club?

I know you weren't there.
Did James tell you?

Same story as on the news.

Some crazed, drugged-up girl wanted
to get revenge for not getting in.

You know how it is.
Let me give you my cell

just in case you need anything.

I'm a big girl.
I can take care of myself.

I know.

I actually think
you and I are more alike

than I originally thought.

I think so, too.

Hmm.

You know, it was nice of you
to go see Tommy's girl.

She belongs with Tommy.
She's family.

How you doing?

Shawn, just talk.
What do you want to know?

I want to know how you are.

I want to know if we could
talk sometime.

Look, Shawn,

I think I made
a mistake with you.

I mean, you know
what I'm talking about.

I was a little emotional and...

I said and did some things
that you may have misunderstood.

Misunderstood?

Ghost and I are in
a really good place right now.

I just don't want you
to be confused.

Yeah, no...

Oh, I'm sorry. I've gotta take this.
This is important.

Hey, keisha. Mm-hmm.

I told you kadeem was trippin'.

You need to leave
his broke ass alone.

The place already looks better
since you entered the front door, James.

Hmm. What's this?

I'm sending you on a little trip
for the weekend.

You like Miami, right?

I need you to get these contracts
signed for me.

Why can't you get your lawyers
to send these directly?

I'm all about the human touch.

And I think you have the right
personality, charm, muscle

to convince anyone to do
what you want them to do.

You're saying it's gonna be hard
to convince them?

I'm saying you're
the right man for the job.

Just tell them how much
you love working with me

and what a great partner I am.
That should do it.

- You can do that, right?
- Right.

Mr. Kantos. I guess I shouldn't be
surprised to see you here.

You two are quite the pair.

Good to see you again,
Mr. Stern.

So long, James.

Be sure to come back
from Miami with a tan.

- Miami?
- As his errand boy.

Look, we're officially
back to work.

I want you to get me
Lincoln center's angels list

and the contributor names
to wbls immediately.

Those lists don't seem
to go together.

Well, I'm building the best
night out in New York.

I want the uptown crowd
with the downtown crowd.

I want park Avenue money

and the bodega owners
partying together.

I want the rich,
the famous, and the freaks.

Don't you ever forget, kantos,
the famous want to be entertained, too.

Maybe you should get that
approved by stern first.

Stern doesn't know what the fuck
he wants until you give it to him.

I'm making stern
all the money he wants

while getting
my fucking club back

and shoving my foot up his ass.
You good with that?

Sure thing, boss.

Hmm.

Okay, how do you
want me to go at him?

I don't want you
to do anything at all.

What are the charges?

We both know what you do.

But I'm not here
to talk about you.

I want your connect,
Felipe lobos.

Who?

The man who's
probably responsible

for the death
of your brother anibal.

Ah, I should thank him.

Gave me a promotion.

I don't care about
your street-level drug bullshit.

I want the source.

You help me,
I'll take out your competition.

Arrest every ddp I can find.

You mean like you motherfuckers
did to whitey bulger?

What, I can't watch
the history channel?

Then you get it. Quid pro quo.

You help me, I help you.

Like I said, man,
I don't know a Felipe lobos.

Fine. Where do you
get your supply from?

Your distro, I'll talk to him.

Let's say I have some idea
what you're talking about.

Let's say I did have a distro.

Why would I give him to you?

He goes out,
where do I get my drugs?

You're not gonna get those
for me, too, right?

Huh?

Anibal had his own way
of doing shit.

Under me, the tainos
are a community organization.

Speaking of which, I've gotta
get back to my community.

So unless you're actually
gonna charge me...

Hmm, fine.

But this isn't the last time
we're going to talk, Cristobal.

I know you said
you didn't know anything,

but, you know,
I was just wondering

if you ever heard
of a white guy distro.

Goes by the name "ghost."

White guy named ghost?

Mm-hmm.

That's like a fucking cartoon.

- Get out.
- Okay.

Where you been, bro?
I've been looking all over for you.

Had to go out of town for a while.
Caught some unexpected heat.

From that favor
I asked you to do?

I'm sorry about that.

It's time for you to do a favor
for me in return.

I need you to make good
with qdubs.

Fresh start.

I ain't bowing and scraping
to those low-life rsks.

It's payback time
and I'm here to collect.

You said we was brothers
for life.

Unless that was bullshit.

We are, Tomas, but the rsks
paid that bitch to stab me.

You know it and I know it.

And we killed rolla.
So you got your revenge.

You need to make peace
with qdubs.

We need to get right.
We need everybody on board.

And as long as there's
bad blood between y'all,

we got problems
selling our shit.

I killed nomar, ruiz.

I spilled his blood for you.

Now you do this for me.

Darryl: Hey.

We ran the sketch
through facial recognition

and I must say I think our bad guy
is pretty hot.

I'm just saying.

Here are all the possible
matches for the sketch.

- Great. Thanks.
- You're welcome.

Tommy?

Greg.

- Yeah?
- Get in here.

I have a sketch of the person
who killed nomar,

but I need to hear the tapes
to verify my instincts.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

Just run that by me again
in English, please.

There were eight matches from
the facial recognition cross-match

and one of them was a guy
I went to high school with.

If I can just hear the tapes,
I can tell if it's his voice.

How did you finish the sketch?

Isabel ruiz.

Well, see, that's crazy,
because she's a minor, right?

And I know you couldn't
get permission from ruiz,

so did you follow
victim-witness protocols?

Counseling, protection.

She can call me anytime
she needs me, day or night.

Right, 'cause that worked out
for nomar, right?

I can't believe
you're still pursuing this.

No. No. No.

I will not help you.
Mike said no.

You need to let it go
before you get fired.

Just do the work
Mike put you on.

That's bullshit work
and you know it.

Right.

You would get me the tapes
if I was still fucking you.

You're right, yeah.
I probably would, Angela.

But, see, we're not still fucking,
so cut the shit.

What was the name
of your stupid dog?

Grace.

Bingo.

Tommy: I'm gonna find that girl
and cancel Christmas on her ass.

I'm gonna find that girl
and cancel Christmas on her ass.

She canceled Christmas
on your boy with her quickness.

Hey, smells great.

Looks good, too.

Jamie?

Jamie?

Hey, baby. Everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

So I'm opening truth
tomorrow night,

but in order to do it,
I had to agree to work for stern

as his errand boy for a while.

I understand that.

I got humiliated at work,
too, by my new boss.

He assigned me to a new team.

Work I don't care about.

Well, stern is sending me to Miami
to sign contracts.

I want you to come with me.

With all that's going on
with work right now,

I don't know
if I can get time off.

Angie, this was our dream.

We said we'd wake up in Miami
together, remember?

And I want to go, I do.

I just can't say for sure.

Let's just make this easy, okay?

Both go home,

no problems, right?

You're so quiet.

Something up?

No, nothing, really.

Just work stuff.

Want to talk about
what's going on at work?

No, not really.

It wouldn't help.

Jamie, I'm sorry.

You made such a nice meal.

You're great.

It's just... it's been
such a long day.

Is it okay if we don't tonight?

I think I need
to go to bed alone.

Angela doesn't have
anything on us.

No files, wiretaps,
phone records.

- Nothing.
- You sure?

I just came from her apartment.

I did find some
good news, though.

Tommy: What the fuck
does that mean?

Well, what it means
is I found a file

on nomar and I found his phone.

He was a ci working
for her, yes.

Nothing to do with us.

So ruiz was telling
the truth about nomar,

which means
that we can trust ruiz.

So if ruiz makes good
with the rsks...

And everything holds
with drifty,

then we might just
pull this shit off.

J' god damn, god damn I

I how the hell you get
all that ass in them pants? I

I how you drinking
and you ain't got no glass? J'

I now how you came in here
and you ain't got no man? J'

I what? Damn, to me
you look perfect I

j“ bend that ass over,
let me see how you work it I

j“ poppin' and shakin',
get on your knees, hit the dirt j'

j“ girl, I go so deep in that pussy
while he just hittin' the surface I

I what is you saying?
Drop it down on it I

I made me get a couple bands,
drop it down on it I

I make you get a couple friends,
drop it down on it I

I turn around, drop it down... I

party off the chain, man.

Lots changed since
you've been gone, k.

More money, more fun.
You iikey-iikey?

Have my hands full back there.

- What's up, man?
- Enough about the party.

Nah, uh.

I'm getting restless, man.
I'm ready to work.

See, I thought you were
trying to go legit.

I told Tommy, I said, "yo,
he's trying to become a citizen."

- Wear a suit and tie?
- You know, the whole thing. What's up?

Fuck, I'm supposed to work
on wall street or some shit?

I ain't built that way, man.
I'm ready to hustle.

Yeah, well, we got
a lot going on.

And we could use
your help on all of it.

We want you back on the team.

- Right, ghost?
- Right, right.

- That's good to hear, man.
- Now get back out there, k.

Enjoy it. You see that shit?
It's all paid for.

- Paid for?
- That shit is paid for.

J' drop it down on it I

I made me get a couple bands,
drop it down on it... I

we got to bring kanan
along slowly.

You feel me, Tommy?

Been out of the game
for a minute, man, come on.

Let him catch up to speed.
What the fuck?

Yo, ghost, it's kanan.
He practically raised us.

Look, time inside
changes people.

We got to get to know him again.

Get the fuck outta here.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. My bad.

- I'm gonna be outside.
- No, motherfucker. Come here.

I need you... hold on...
I need you to give me a ride.

Yeah, dad, no, I got you,
but I'm gonna be outside, okay?

I'm gonna be done
in a minute. Ooh!

Oh, damn, girl.

Trying to suck my whole
motherfucking dick.

Shorty got skills.

Go ahead. It's you.
Get in there.

No, dad, I'm good.
We can just get up outta here.

Man, go ahead, man.

Should be a while, too.
I'm gonna wait on you. Go ahead.

Boy, if you don't
get in there...

I want this place
in shape for tonight.

- Come on, let's get on it.
- Looking good in here.

Simon.

I always like seeing you,

but I'm okay without
adult supervision.

Well, about that.
There's been a slight change

in our arrangement
that just couldn't be helped.

I wanted to come down
and tell you face-to-face.

What kind of change
you talking about?

Instead of reporting
directly to me,

you'll be reporting
to the new general manager.

- We had a deal.
- True.

But you have to stay fluid
in the nightclub business.

You know that.
There's no need to worry, James.

I think you will like
the new gm.

Hey, boss.

You don't have to call him
that anymore.

Angie, it's Jamie.

I sent you a text,
I didn't hear back.

Just wondering
if you're gonna be

on that plane to Miami
with me tonight.

Call me back.

Hello? Angela valdes.

Hey, sweetie, it's Darryl.
So, James St. Patrick is clean.

He has no criminal record.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Hey, Tash.
I have to go to Miami.

Alone?

Yeah.

I got some business
I gotta do for stern.

I'm not seeing her anymore.
This is just business.

I'm not taking Angela.

Hey.

The girl who shot up the club,
Tash, she's in Miami.

I'm going to take care
of that situation by myself.

Use this stern business
as a cover.

Well, whatever you need
to get it done...

Mm-hmm.

I'm here to support you,
all right?

I got you.

Come here.

Ghost: Come here.

How you doing, baby?
You didn't overdo it, did you?

No, haven't done much at all.

Tasha brought some food over.

Damn, it's like Christmas.

I asked her what happened
that night at the club.

You know what's funny?

She had the same
exact story as you.

Yeah, 'cause that's
what happened.

And then I got my cell

and I listened to the messages
you left me.

You were scared, Tommy.
And you didn't know that I was hurt.

Tommy, if you're gonna
hide stuff from me,

I'm out.
I'm not gonna play house.

I'm all in or nothing.

The cunt was trying
to hit ghost.

We had problems with people
taking shots at us,

but it's all under control now.

The guy that ordered
the hit is gone.

Why did you lie to me
in the first place?

Ghost asked you to lie,
didn't he?

Yes, he did.

Because you fucking
looked at him in his face

- and called him "ghost."
- No, I...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I told you
that shit in confidence, Holly.

And then you went straight
to the motherfucker

and gapped off like it was nothing.
How could you do that?

I told him I was quitting.

Because you told me to.

He got rough with me.

He grabbed me and so
I thought of the first thing

that I could think of
to get him to stop.

You're gonna leave now, too,
aren't you?

Told you, everyone leaves me.

Nah.

I ain't going nowhere.

I'm really uncomfortable with the way
that went down with James.

Oh, come on.
The look on his face was priceless.

I know you respect James,
like him, even.

That's not going to get in the way
of you doing your job, right?

No, sir. Of course not.

Good. He can never
reach 20% profit.

Do what you have to do
to make sure it never happens.

- I'm not sure about that.
- Josh, we talked about this.

We keep James,
we learn his tricks,

then send him on his merry way.

Then I will give you truth.
Your own club.

Like your past was washed away.

Isn't that what you want?

J' rocking a low flannel j'

j' double-bubble goose
and a five panel I

j“ smoking on a ioosie
from the corner store I

j' bodega cheesesteaks

I tell our truth
over four-bar loops... j'

so look, julito found the girl hitter's
location in Miami, man.

Oh, about time.
I'm on the next plane.

Nah, Tommy, I'm going to Miami
for stern. It's a perfect cover.

Plus, you got to stay here
and see about Holly, right?

Yo, man, look, about Holly.

I checked her ass
about that ghost shit.

It won't happen again.

Good. Be safe, man.

You, too, motherfucker.

Let me ask you something.
How did stern know

I was planning to open
a truth in Miami?

I thought so.

Is that Tommy over there?

He's not welcome in the club.

Stern doesn't want
that element inside.

Stern has you
on a tight leash, huh?

I see he has you
trained we" already.

Let's go inside, boss man.

- Here's your bag.
- Ghost: Yep.

- All right.
- Shawn: All right.

Have a good trip, uncle g.

Did you know your father
was getting out of jail?

No, I was just
as surprised as you were.

Jamie.

Trying to leave without me?

'Course not.

J'huhj'
