Desna: You know the guy that I was dealing with?

He's DEA.

How are you gonna get out of town?

You don't -- You said you needed the money.

from anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity.

Yes.They bought the robbery.

They bought it.

Yeah, but the clock's ticking now, alright?

Based on my extensive viewing of true crime docudramas,

the spouse or significant other

is always questioned within 24 hours.

We gotta move now.

Only thing is, I need a diversion for Clay.

The big question is, did anybody figure out he was DEA?

Well, he wasn't worried about his cover being blown.

He said Desna and her crew had no idea.

Still...

To be safe, we should pull the plug.

Take down who we've got already.

Or not. I mean, all signs point

to this being a random robbery.

We wait a week and we can get Desna's heroin dealer, too.

I know you're trying to get your ticket punched to DC.

Pace yourself.

You're the one who told me don't hold back.

Thanks.

Truck was wiped down, but it looks like

they pulled a partial print.

Okay. Run it.

Don't hold back.

What on Earth is this?

Clay made this for the baby.

Milton said Paradise was lost. Well, now it's found.

Well, I'll be damned, complete with a beef jerky dispenser.

Yeah, won't that go stale by the time we're done?

Well, that's just for effect.

I'm gonna restock it by the time

that little queen's out of your belly.

Yes, King! Ooh!

I like the sound of that![ Laughs ]

Eh, hey, just to be clear, you know, I'm --

I'm only back if you swear you won't hang me out to dry again,

'cause otherwise, I'm gone for good.

Boy, I told you when you called me I was outta sorts.

Alright?

I didn't realize you did a good thing.

And hey, we can use this, uh, Tony thing to our advantage.

Well, alright.

In that case, uh, I'd like to buy you and Quiet Ann

a drink upstairs to, you know, celebrate our reunion.

Don't have to ask me twice.[ Chuckles ]

Well, um, since I can't drink,

I'm gonna go home and pack a bag to keep here, yeah?

So happy the team's back together.

[ Chuckles ] [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, buddy.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

♪♪

I really am sorry, boy, about earlier, alright?

I mean, I-I-I should have been there for you.

Mm.

Naw, we family, Uncle Daddy.

Yeah. Yeah. Hell, yeah.

It's just when you do stuff like that, it makes me feel

like I'm the bastard Black stepson you never speak of.

Oh, come on now, boy.

Don't you be all dramatic with me.

[ Chuckles ] Alright?

I just --

I got a little mad when I thought you, uh,

you were on the other side, is all.

And FYI, I-I send Jerome a-a gift ever year

on both Christmas and Kwanzaa.

So, don't believe whatever your mama told you.

We -- We -- We tight.

Alright, good. That's good.

Well, listen here, boy,

I'll never leave you hangin' again, okay?

We family.

But you got to promise me

that you done with Miss Desna, okay?

You done with her.

I am on team Uncle Daddy all the way.

Alright, buddy.

I just got a little scared that you liked

that Quiet Ann more than me.

Boy, I mean, shit, we need an heir.

I mean, we -- we in a high-stakes game here, right?

W-W-What happens if something happens to me

and you and Jenn and the kids?

We need a neutral party to inherit all this.

Right? No, you right.

You right. You right.

Now, real question is what y'all do with that body?

[ Both laugh ]

What you do with that body?

Well -- [ Clears throat ]Yeah.

We, uh, made it look like a-a robbery.

Oh, yeah!

Just like we did with the Coombses.

Yeah! Oh, shit, that was a fun kill, wasn't it?

Yeah. Yeah.

How much shit have we done for that Ms. Desna, huh?

Coombses, Haitians.

Shit, we had that sista-girls' back.

Yep. Never doing that again.

No, siree. 'Cause you back for good.

Yes, sir. Husser strong.

Husser strong!

Husser strong, boy! Yeah!

Back in the fold!Back in the fold.

I'm gonna take a piss.Yeah, alright then.

What the hell?

Didn't your foster parents ever teach you

not to sneak into a stranger's house?

Clay, it's -- it's not what you think.

No shit.

Don't you try to play a player...

playa.

Okay, you -- you -- you -- you gotta think this out.

Hey. Look at what we got here.

Yeah, look what I caught.

Get in there. I been waiting.

In fact, I been dreaming about doing this

since the first day my baby boy brought you to the barbecue.

Yeah. What are you gonna do?

Tell you what I'm gonna do.

This gives me an opportunity to end this war

in one decisive move.

Yeah, what the -- what the hell you doing?

Yeah, Clay, what the hell are doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm having her teach me how to do the Electric Slide.

Oh, shit, I always wanted to learn the Electric Slide.

That's a joke, dummy.[ Chuckles ]

What you laughing at?

I'm about to put a hot one in your head.

That's fine, if you want to go down

for two murders instead of one.

Oh, I ain't gonna kill my nephew.

You apparently didn't get his resignation letter.

He's defecting from your business.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I called in an anonymous tip to the cops

and told them that you were the one who killed Tony,

who by the way, was DEA.

You killed a rat? You killed a drug rat?!

I know, I know.

God damn, you a stupid fool.

I was wondering if your mama dropped you on your head.

I'm sorry, alright? I'm sorry.

So...

what you gonna do, Clay?

You gonna add insult to injury and murder me, too?

You might as well raise your goddamn hand right now

and beg for the death penalty.

Shut up.

Or you can just let me go, and we can all run.

I mean, how long does it take to drop a gun?

I mean, that depends.

When I had to do that for the Israeli Army that one year,

it was -- it was quite a complicated assignment.

I say we give them about 30 minutes more,

then we roll through.

Look at you, back up in the Kool-Aid so quick, huh?

Remember what we said about not putting our lives in danger?

Oh, she's right.Thank you.

I say we wait 10 minutes, then we get some automatics

and bum-rush the place.

Pol. What?

Bitch, if you don't keep blowing on that pizza --

[ Cellphone chimes ]Oh.

Oh, no.What?

Shit's done popped off the Warehouse.

What is it?I don't know,

but just grab your butter knives or your guns.

Once again, shit has gone sidewise for Bryce.

Oh, no.

Take it with you!

[ Muffled ] Oh, shit.

Oh!

Desna: Think about it, Clay.

You're not gonna fare well in jail, okay?

The -- The -- The Haitians are after you, the Russians.

Hell, the Muslims still ain't got over

that shit you did in 2014.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Ah, she ain't wrong, Uncle Daddy.

I mean, that's some cold-blooded shit.

Bean pies all over the body --

Enough.Listen to them, Clay.

Baby.

Things are getting complicated.

Miss Desna's always been smarter than she looked.

I told you not to let those Lycra jump suits fool you.

Who is he talking to?

[ Mouthing words ]She was never the babe

in the woods you thought she was.

Clay, I need my money.

20's a whole lot of money, though, girl.

Right, but we had an agreement.

I agreed to precisely none of it.

Now, I'll get you more money when we open more clinics.

We're looking at an $88,000 loss.

Y'all gonna have to work this off.

Wh-- That's not fair!

I will have what I am owed.

Maybe you should just let her go and run for the hills.

I can't.

Gonna use your licenses to open up more clinics.

No deal.

I know more about running this shit

than all you idiots put together.

Thank you for underestimating me.

That shit taught me a lot.

Baby, it might be time to face it.

Your reign in Palmetto might be over.

I'm upping my license fee.

In this world, it's every man for himself.

You goddamn right.

So you can find somewhere else to launder your money.

Desna stole your pills.

I decide when it's over!

I've had enough of your shit!

I beat the Russians, I beat the Haitians!

Hell, I-I sold out my whole family!

Last thing I'mma do is let some highfalutin' manicurist

rain on my pride parade.

You either call the cops and confess to killin' Tony,

or I'm gonna blow your brains out

and skedaddle out of town.

You know how your people got that Underground Railroad?

Well, so do mine.

They'll help me down in Brazil

getting lap dances from Ricky Martin lookalikes

before sundown!

King of the Jews, the one time there's a line

to get into this place.

Wait your turn, bitch.

Or take your Spanx home.

You know you're too old to be out.

Huh?Who you calling old?

Pretty baby, go shake your booty and get us in quick.

Why's it gotta be me?

Because you're the only one born in the '90s, asshole. Go!

Ooh.

How you doing, sir.

[ Moos ] Work it.

Hey, hey, hey, Uncle Daddy, why can't --

why can't we just talk this out like reasonable adults --

reasonable adults?!

Reason left the room when she walked in!

Now, you got 30 seconds, Miss Desna.

You gonna make that call, confess,

or I'm gonna blow that little weave

right off your goddamn head.

Think about Dean, growing up in this world all alone.

Dean is grown. He's a grown man.

Living on his sister's tit.

Think how far he's gonna unwind when he sees your dead body.

Maybe I'll just have to shoot him, too,

so he can join you.

You son of a bitch!

Oh! Oh.

Baby, that's a compliment.

Believe me...[ Breathing heavily ]

...I will do it.

Now, get out that phone!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Aaah!

I'll take door number three. You die.

Why don't we just talk this out like ad-- like adults?

I'm done talking.

It didn't have to be this way, Clay.

If you had just given me the $20,000 for Glint

like you promised, there wouldn't even be no war.

I would be running my chain of salons,

and you would be the king of Palmetto.

But you just had to keep fightin' me.

That's the game.

Is that your white privilege talking?

'Cause you didn't take down the Russians or the Haitians.

Idid.

That wasn't you and your boys.

That was me and my crew.

And if you think I'm gonna let you take me down --

[chuckles] you got another thing coming.

Okay, no one is killing no one, alright?

Get out of here! You're on my side!

You're my blood! Now get out of here!

Put your reading glasses on, Clay.

He was the diversion.

No.

Since when does Bryce have five drinks with you?

Aw, shit.

What? You set me up.

You set me up.

Desna said you were gonna set meup.

I'm...

You wouldn't help me when I begged you!

I never know where I stand with you, Uncle Daddy!

I don't know whether you really love me or you --

you just playing me!

Oh!

Do you love me?!

Do you love me?!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

Clay Husser, you are a good man.

Don't you let anybody tell you any different.

You should listen to Uncle Daddy.

He's a leader. That's right.

Well, damn, Uncle Daddy.

-Clay Husser. -That's a good Daddy.

Ah, you idiot.

What is impossible with man...

Father, son, and the holy ghost.

...is possible with God.

Amen.

I need this shit like a frog needs titties.

You look as happy as a puppy with two peckers.

I love you, Clay. I love you, too.

Oh, I love you.

I love you, too, babe.

My list of bad deeds is longer than the Swanee River.
