shot Liliana,

and when I find out
who it is, they dead.

When they thought
I was out cold,

I heard them talking
about the drop they got.

They're fucking dead!

[Tommy] Right now, we just let
these motherfuckers

fight each other
while we expand our territory.

We just gotta figure out
how to move all this weight.

One of our opioid batches
was processed incorrectly.

We can foist these
on the South Side.

I need you, Victor.

-Only if Claud's out.
-Fine.

I'm back working
with my father again.

I'm gonna take Walter down
from the inside.

You gave Vic my project?
I fucking kill for you,

and all you do is spit on me
every chance you get.

If you can get support
from CPD,

I might be able to give you
your task force.

[Stacy] I just need CPD

to get the commander
to lobby with them.

I'm not getting in the middle

of you and my boss.

If you make a move
on Tommy over Chewy,

I won't be able
to keep a lid on.

We got to press pause
on that Tommy shit.

So that's it.

Tommy fuckin' Egan

is not the priority right now.

Okay, look, maybe we can
take this down a notch, huh?

I just came from a wee chat
with Tommy Egan.

He's this close to figuring out

that you pulled
the trigger on Liliana.

Jesus Christ.
What did you tell him?

I wouldn't sell my family out,
and not to Tommy fuckin' Egan.

But I'll tell you this, girl,

you fuck with me one more time,
and I'll pull your security.

-Wow.
-Be prepared to take

a few fuckin' punches.

Um, I want to talk to you.

I want to make amends...
for leaving you.

Wow.

So...

I'm sorry.

What?
You don't accept my apology?

No, it's-it's just, uh...

Why did you leave me?

Oh, honey.

It wasn't because
I didn't love you.

I was only 14...

You were only 16

-Well, that's different.
-Why? Because I'm Black?

I-I didn't leave you

is Black,

couldn't do it.

How am I supposed
to tell him that?

And I, uh...

I don't know what to do
