Previously on Ghost...

Evelyn.

Frank was on his way to surprise you.

To make your family whole again.

Brayden needs to learn the family business.

You're gonna be working with KeKe Travis.

My pleasure.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about you.

By not fuckin' with Tariq, you're saving yourself

a lot of grief, trust me.

Do you have enough clout to get authorization

for a joint federal and local task force?

I could try.

That was taken from a traffic cam

the night of Carrie's suicide,

and it's just blocks from her apartment.

You are not authorized to investigate Monet Tejada.

Is that understood?

Mecca.

Where the fuck you think you're going?

Ah!

- Hey! - Cut me some slack...

I'll cut you some fuckin' slack when I put a bullet

in whoever took Zeke away from me.

- Fuck, you go here now? - Yep.

Monet know?

Get on your knees.

Mecca was my First Lieutenant.

His drugs belong to me.

We can keep the cash flow going.

You think you can replace Mecca?

Of course we can.

Who is this bitch?

All I got is her name, Noma.

From now on, I'ma be working for her...

Me, Cane, and Brayden,

or else she gonna kill all three of us.

- Get the fuck in the car. - No, please.

We have blood on our hands.

Lauren Baldwin is dead.

Hi. How you holdin' up?

How much longer do I have to pretend that I'm dead?

Hey.

Where am I?

You're at the hospital, Lauren.

There was a...

an incident.

You were hit pretty hard.

The doctor said it might take some time

for you to regain memory of the night,

but best we can assemble,

you were knocked unconscious,

placed in a vehicle,

and driven out of the city,

then pushed into the reservoir.

We don't know by who.

The car was reported stolen,

but there's no clues leading to the thief.

Whoever was behind this had it all planned out

and was pretty meticulous.

But you got really lucky.

A man was out walking his dog

and happened to see you going into the water.

If he hadn't called 911,

tonight would've played out very differently.

Hey. How you doing?

I brought you some things.

It's not the Internet, but...

Look, I need to see my parents.

Or a phone call.

Jenny, seriously, anything, please.

We've been over this, Lauren.

Your parents think you're dead,

as does everyone else except for my supervisor

and your doctor.

It's the only way to guarantee your safety and theirs

while I build my case.

And what case is that?

I literally told you who did it,

so go arrest her.

Lauren, the dog walker didn't see anyone that night,

and by your own admission, you were unconscious

when you were placed in that car,

so you can't know for certain what really happened.

Okay, but I do know what happened.

That girl Effie, she tried to kill me.

I believe you.

I do, but right now,

I do not have a single shred of hard evidence to go on.

So I need you to help me with something.

No.

No!

Literally every time one of you guys has said that,

my life has gotten exponentially more fucked up.

Okay, closing this case is the only way

to get you out of here and on with your life.

Now, given the fact pattern, it stands to reason

that Effie wasn't working alone,

and by connecting those dots between her and what I suspect

to be a much bigger drug organization,

is the best way to get us all what we want.

So she was working with Brayden?

I told you that already.

The focus of our investigation is above Brayden.

Tariq St. Patrick is the clearest

connective tissue between them.

I don't have any proof that Tariq was working

with Brayden and Effie.

And clearly, neither do you.

Well, until I can get an airtight case

against all of those responsible

for trying to kill you,

the fact that Tariq, Effie, Brayden, the Tejadas

all believe that their attempt succeeded is the only thing

keeping you and your family alive right now.

Trust me.

I can't believe Noma's in Paris

and I'm stuck here babysitting you tiresome Americans.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's good to see you too.

I told her she was insane

for giving you this opportunity.

You will only squander it.

I mean, it's pretty evident that your words

don't mean much to her.

I'm particularly looking forward

to shooting you when you fail.

♪ Uh, whoo, step up ♪

Not gonna lie, I think he fucks with us.

Nah, that nigga wants to kill you.

All right, party people, well, the clock is ticking,

and these babies are ready to go to their forever homes.

Yo, who these niggas over there, Cane?

Hired some of the Jamaica Ave Boys to help.

What's up?

Are we doing this or what? I have class in a hour.

Yeah, and I gotta go analyze some stocks,

which should definitely be more fun than cocaine.

Cane, your family flooding the streets, right?

Yeah, I got these niggas start moving shit today

while Dru and Lorenzo expand our footprint.

A'ight. Me and Effie, we gonna hit the Ivies up

while Stansfield cools down.

Shit's too hot on campus, and with CourseCorrect dead,

Stansfield's off-limits.

B, you take care of the country clubs, alumni clubs...

Basically anywhere rich white people do what we're doing,

but we get locked up for it.

Guys, I think we're overlooking a sick market.

The traders at Weston Holdings would eat this shit up. 'Riq...

Get the fuck out of here. Are you dumb?

Nigga, you just told the whole fucking world

you sell drugs.

You hotter than Stansfield right now.

We're not selling shit anywhere near

where your name has anything to do with it.

I know. Hear me out.

You trust them with our shit?

These niggas know not to get greedy

and what'll happen if they do.

Yo, that is a fuck-ton of weight,

and the dick-swingers at my office would pay enough

to buy us every-day-of-the-week Lambos.

I'm talking the Urus. I'm talking the SVJ.

Back me up, Effie.

Fuck no.

She right, man. Fuck that shit.

Listen, we're not doing no business

anywhere near your family's companies

or anything that has your name attached to it.

It ain't worth the risk.

There's no risk.

I mean, maybe for you.

Listen, man, you just admitted to being a whole drug dealer,

and your punishment was a six-figure income.

I didn't admit to shit, and yet somehow,

I lose housing, and I'm still doing damage control.

The fuck?

You're right, that is fucked up.

I'm sorry, 'Riq.

You got a room, though, right?

Yeah, Tate helped me out, hooked me up

with a little internship on his campaign.

How's that gonna help your image?

Tate's dirty as fuck.

He's the right kind of dirty, though.

All right, well, go get that political shine.

I'll catch you later.

Later, Eff.

I could take the drive up to Princeton with you if you want.

Actually, it'll just be quicker if I go on my own.

What's up with you? You good?

"Day-of-the-week Lambos"?

Come on, you know he's fucking around.

- That's Brayden. - Wh-whatever.

I don't give a shit if y'all splurge,

but the longer we stand here, the more interest

accrues on my student loans.

Don't forget, Tariq, some of us

are only doing this because we have to.

Wait, so you think I'm here because I want to be, Effie?

Listen, if we don't move all of that shit in that warehouse,

Noma's gonna kill all of our asses.

Yeah.

Better get moving then.

Plaintiff Yung Joc says he performed...

Mrs. Tejada.

I got that investigation file you wanted.

It's about time.

What do they know?

Well, not what you want.

There's a lot going on, but no real leads.

Since Zeke was killed the same night

as his father in Spears' hangar,

they're looking into the possibility

they were targeted by the same doer.

Who do they think that was?

Eh, I'd say your guess is as good as theirs.

They logged .45 caliber shell casings,

but that's a long shot at best.

Partial prints led nowhere.

Any potential witnesses scattered like rats,

and that's all she wrote.

Shit.

The fuck it is. I need more.

Mrs. Tejada... Monet...

Mrs. Tejada works.

Okay, Mrs. Tejada...

that's the NYPD's entire file on the case.

There's nothing more to get.

Whoever did this is either meticulous or chaotic enough

to have New York's finest scratching their head.

Well, Davis, it's time to start earning your damn money.

Someone killed my son,

and ain't nobody gonna fucking rest

until I find out who.

Here you go.

Subtle, Cooper.

Well, I told them Saxe, but you know how it goes.

I think they do it on purpose because I'm so sexy.

I called you last night. Where were you?

I was working at the office

and waiting for my CI to get me something I can actually use.

Oh, come on. I'm working on it.

You have any luck getting an unredacted version

of that that Theo Rollins file?

Not yet. It's, um,

more complicated than it should be.

Pulling a file is complicated?

It'll raise a red flag

if I put in this request out of nowhere,

and I don't need anybody looking at me sideways

while I'm trying to get a RICO task force off the ground.

Whoa.

Isn't it a little early for that?

Isn't it a little early for you

to be showing up at my apartment unannounced?

I mean, I wouldn't even be here right now

if I didn't have to come back for this.

Your little Nancy Drew game isn't getting me very far.

An official task force will give me more resources

so I can cast a wider net.

Well, yeah, of course,

but how are you ever gonna get that approved?

Tariq St. Patrick is guilty of a lot of things,

but pinning an entire drug organization

on a 19-year-old kid is gonna be a tough sell, even for you.

He's not just any kid.

Look at who his parents were.

Tariq was groomed for this.

You think anyone was surprised

LeBron's kid could dunk a basketball?

Um, no,

and I think that's a little racist.

Look, you said you could bring me something

that I can work with, so...

show me what you got, Saxe.

Show me...

you're really the man you said you could be.

Oh, what the actual fuck?

Chad, so sorry to interrupt your nap.

You were supposed to proofread these reports yesterday.

- Okay. - We need them now.

Chill...

Omarosa.

Excuse me?

Dude, that's fucked up. Just fucking do it.

He's a fucking dick.

Do you want me to go to HR?

For that? No.

God, I just can't stand these trust fund interns,

you know, messing with my paper

'cause they've never had to earn their own.

He was probably dreaming about a Proud Boy rally or some shit.

Hold up.

You think we need to make America great again?

Fuck no.

Those assholes are the ones

who fucked it up in the first place.

Okay...

Baby Weston.

Got the Smiths.

Jones, Osborne... okay, make sure

that the email blast goes out

to all of the updated lists, all right?

- Yes, sir. - Um...

we gotta make sure that, uh...

- All right, thank you. - I'm on it.

Steven Ott, to what do I owe the pleasure?

Well, it's good to see you're not

overspending on office space.

Jesus, what a shithole.

All right, look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Rashad,

but your poll numbers, they suck.

You're getting trounced.

If you want to win this congressional seat,

you're gonna have to fire off some ads.

Yes, well, to do that we would need resources,

now, wouldn't we?

Listen, it seems as though that, uh,

your good friend Rick Sweeney hasn't gone

as quietly into the night as we'd hoped.

Apparently, he's funneling donors

over to the fucking competition.

Yeah, that's a tough break there.

Look, we all thought AOC was

a once-in-a-generation candidate,

but the movement just keeps fucking growing...

Listen, I know, but nothing has been decided yet.

That's right. That's right.

We need to bring some fresh blood in here, you know,

mobilize young voters, bring in that cha-ching.

Already ahead of you. I have a fantastic

new intern starting today.

Well, I hope they can hustle.

Oh, one more thing.

There's also the problem of your conspicuous

lack of a wife.

- Fix it. - I'm already working on it.

I have several candidates in the mix.

Ah, I'm so glad to hear it. Just not the intern, all right?

Bye, Rashad!

Steven.

Gandhi said, "The Earth provides enough

to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed."

So my question for you is, in this nation

of haves versus have-nots that worship

at the church of capitalism,

what is the line between need and greed?

My man Gandhi said that shit way before climate change

and overpopulation started popping off.

BruShaundria's right, and with increasingly limited resources,

making sure you have as much as possible for you

and your family is need... Nothing greedy about it.

Well, what about our moral obligation to other humans?

What about corporate responsibility?

"When morality comes up against profit,

it's seldom profit that loses."

Ah, Shirley Chisholm.

Nice pull, Ms. Morales.

Now, do you agree with her?

Mm. Not that it's right, but that it's fact, yeah.

Life is kill or be killed.

Same goes for America.

Greed is just another word for growth.

The bigger you get, the more you have.

The more you have, the more you need.

It's the law of nature.

I should point out,

that's also the philosophy of a cancer cell.

Whoa.

Are you seriously comparing America with cancer?

Hey. You need these?

It's okay.

I already did the reading online.

But girl, why the fuck are those books so expensive?

I can't afford to buy that shit for all my classes.

Yeah, I know. I've been there.

You know, I hear the TAs sometimes keep a set

for students to use.

Listen, since you had something to say,

you stand up. Tell me what you think.

Go on, tell me what you think the other view is.

Nice tie, Phil.

I think my great-grandfather had the same one.

Eat shit, Chad.

That's him.

What the hell's going on?

Compliance found incendiary content

on your computer.

We're gonna need you to collect your things.

What?

That's impossible. Show me.

It's the kind of stuff that goes along with these...

which were found in your desk.

We have zero tolerance for propagating

alt-right bullshit here in the office.

You need to leave immediately.

That's not fucking mine,

so this is some kind of setup.

Get your hands off of me.

- Sir, let's go. - Oh...

my dad is gonna sue your asses so hard,

you are gonna shit from your esophagus.

I'll see you bitches in court,

all right?

- That you? - Uh-huh.

Hmm.

Come.

That tiki torch was fucking extra as hell,

but I loved it.

Where did you get that in the middle of Manhattan?

You can Postmates fucking anything.

Well, I hope you didn't use the company card.

Where are we?

A private floor.

Supposedly there's more,

but it's the only one I have the code for.

There's more?

Look around, Trust Fund.

Everything the light touches is yours.

Shit, your name's on the building.

You really didn't know?

My grandfather's name's on the building.

Well, I wish I had your grandpa.

If you did, then this would be super awkward.

But no, you don't.

He was a miserable piece of shit.

Walking example of money doesn't buy happiness.

Yeah, well, that's only true for people who don't need it.

You give me money, I'll show you happiness.

I'm sorry, but trust me,

this shit comes with its own set of handcuffs.

Okay, Brayden Weston...

then what exactly would make you happy?

♪ Trust me We a real good time ♪

I mean, do you want to talk about that?

Or do you want to do something that'll make us both happy?

Oh.

♪ Trust me We a real good time ♪

Okay, I can confirm that.

No, thank you, Mr. Volker.

Future Congressman Tate really appreciates the support.

All right. Talk to you soon.

What's up, Bru? What you doing here?

Like, existentially?

I think my soul's on some real

serious expansion shit in this lifetime, you know?

Oh, but, like, here, here?

- Yeah, here. - Oh.

This the first day of my internship.

I'm raking in bank for Tate, okay?

Wait, what? You're the new intern?

I was supposed to be Tate's new intern.

Uh...

Is he here?

Um, I... I think he's on a call.

Tariq.

My young brother, unexpected turn of events.

So you gave away my internship?

Uh, excuse me, no one "gave me" anything.

Think of it as a redirection.

Listen, I ain't even gonna hold you.

Your Black ass is still hot as fuck

out here in these streets,

and it's not a good look for my team.

You know, I tried to work the wrongfully accused angle

to boost both of our images,

but it's just not gonna bring in the kind of contributions

Team Tate needs right now.

So you throwing me under the bus

for some fucking campaign dollars?

You're goddamn right.

It's for a bigger cause.

So what about the course credit I was supposed to get?

You're a St. Patrick.

You'll figure it out.

Here, take a hat.

A'ight, so got some people working some corners

in Southside, but we gonna need more.

- That's you. - I already told you,

I'm not moving weight for Noma

or any other fucking connect you find.

Wait, Dru ain't talk to you?

Dru ain't say shit 'cause he knows what I said.

Or because he's distracted with punk-ass Everett.

Yeah, you know he's still fucking with that nigga, right?

That's where he was at the night

Mecca's soldiers attacked us.

Then Dru brought him to the penthouse

where we were meeting Kai.

The motherfucker laid eyes on him

and everything.

Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice message system.

See? He's probably with him right now.

Pops, you keep pushing for Dru to take the throne,

but he can't be trusted.

- He's not ready. - But you are?

I know I am.

And what, you think I forgot about you and Mecca's

fucking idea to take me out?

Huh?

That whole hit would've never fucking happened

if you weren't such a fucking brute and disloyal.

So I will deal with Dru however the fuck

I want to deal with him.

If there's anybody in this house

that needs to gain my trust, it's fucking you.

Your mom's not gonna rest until we find Zeke's killer, right?

Handle it.

You do that, and then maybe we can talk.

Thank you for helping me. I hate packing.

Of course.

Now, you know you about to be

the only Black man in OKC, right?

Not if you come visit.

Is that like...

an invitation or what?

What you think?

And speaking of invitations,

my signing party's tomorrow night at 1 Oak,

and I want you to come as my plus-one.

So I'd be, like, your date?

I mean, I want you there with me...

but I can't tell the world

what role you play in my life...

not right now.

Right.

I'm moving at the pace I can, Dru.

Don't be greedy.

Don't be what?

Do you have any idea how much heat I'm getting from my family

'cause of this... 'cause of us?

This isn't about your family.

This is the biggest moment of my entire life,

and I need you there.

Why does a label matter?

Can you show up and be supportive?

Okay.

Okay, I'm-I'm sorry.

Send me the info.

Thank you.

Frank was like a brother to me.

Mo, someone's here to see you.

What are you doing here, Evelyn?

People always stop bringing food after the funeral...

but I couldn't cook for months.

Losing Frank was one thing, but...

I can't imagine if it was one of my boys.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Monet.

Thanks for stopping by.

You should know that some white cop's

been sniffing around, asking questions about Frank,

said his name's Whitman.

I didn't give him anything, of course,

but you deserve to know.

Look, you been a good friend.

That's not necessary.

In fact...

my boys got a little foothold in Brooklyn.

They been taking care of me real good.

You helped me out in my time of need,

so now I'm returning the favor.

But we both know it won't bring 'em back.

Yeah.

Take care of yourself, Monet.

He can't just give your internship away like that.

Honestly, he really can. It's his campaign.

Did he say why?

I told you, B, nobody's fucking with me.

And you know, you lucky as fuck

you don't got to deal with this shit.

Well, what are you gonna do about the credits?

I mean, you need to take, like,

two extra classes to make up for those.

Fuck if I know.

Well, an internship just opened up at Weston.

- You should take it. - Why, so we can move product?

Bro, ask me again if we moving product in your family's house.

All right, you might be able to get unlimited fucking chances,

but it's not all fun and games for the rest of us, B.

I'm trying to save our lives from Noma.

All right, and if I do that, what the fuck is it worth

if I can't see my sister or my mom after?

There's things that are more important

than just money and drugs, B.

And that's family. Family's fucking important.

Hey, we're your family too.

That's right.

And you should take that internship.

We're not gonna move weight there,

and if you're worried about your reputation,

this is a smart move.

She's right, 'Riq.

My uncle would be a great fucking reference.

Okay, maybe,

but I'm sure Papa Weston don't want me there.

Nah, dude, fuck him. I'll handle him.

You don't gotta worry about that.

Fine. Fine, but no fucking drugs.

No drugs, I promise.

A'ight, bet.

Fuck yeah.

Whoo! I'll set it up.

You're fucking crazy.

I'll be right back.

Gotta go take care of something.

Don't touch my shit.

We have to tell him about Lauren, like, now...

Shh. Shut the fuck up, Brayden.

- Are you fucking crazy? - Okay, what, are we just

gonna lie to him for the rest of our lives?

You said it yourself, we're his family.

- We're all he has. - Exactly.

And we did what we had to do to protect him.

How does him finding out help anything?

It would undermine his trust, not earn it.

There are only two people on this planet

who really know what we did, and we're taking that

to the motherfucking grave.

Fuck.

You're Mecca's pilot, man.

Listen, I know you saw something that night.

So fucking talk.

I just heard the shots and found the body.

I don't know who did it!

That's okay, my guy. You got seven more chances

to remember something, huh?

Huh?

You can fly a fucking plane with one hand, right?

I only saw him from the back.

Bald-headed dude in a dark jacket.

Big-ass collar and zippers.

There it is.

See, I knew you was fucking paying attention.

What's up, Big Money? Talk to me.

I didn't see him, I swear.

I swear.

Please don't.

Please!

All I saw was the car, it was driving away!

The taillight was busted!

Thank you.

You've been very helpful.

Dude, this is gonna be so lit.

So KeKe's your supervisor, but I'm on her team,

so I'm kind of like your half-boss

if you think about it, but don't worry,

I'm super chill, and I get my own coffee,

and I only need my balls massaged, like, once a week.

I fucking quit. Get the fuck out of here.

I'm fucking with you, I'm fucking with you.

Uh... oh, there's Reva and Lex...

- Hey, what up? - They/them.

Uh, this is my boy Tariq.

Kitchen, bathroom, uh...

oh, there's personal trainer Nick right there.

Gym's on the third floor.

What's up, boys?

Your first session's free, yeah?

You want my advice,

schedule something.

Looks like you should if you want to be at your best.

I'm fucking with you, bro.

Nicky boy, you know, I'm still, uh,

recovering from that Muay Thai thing,

but yeah, I'll be back at it soon.

Mm-hmm. Do more, be more, my man, all right?

You can have results or excuses,

not both.

What a dick.

Brayden Jefferson Weston!

Family meeting now!

You're so fucked.

What the fuck is Tariq St. Patrick doing here?

Yeah, dude. I mean,

there's no way you're that fucking stupid.

I mean, did you really forget about everything that happened

over the last year, or do you hate Dad that much?

I assume this went through you.

He's our newest intern.

I hope you gave him a... warm Weston welcome.

You can't possibly think that's a good idea.

I made it clear Brayden was to stay away from him

after that whole CourseCorrect ordeal.

I'm not a kid, Dad.

You can't just choose my friends.

Well, clearly someone fucking needs to.

Having Tariq at the firm is not good for the family.

Not good for the bottom line, 'cause that's all you guys

- really care about, right? - Fuck off, dude.

That's enough, Brayden!

- He has to go. - He didn't do anything wrong!

I was the one dealing drugs.

Holding it against him is just fucking racism.

You guys just fired someone for this shit yesterday.

What the fuck happened to zero tolerance, huh?

He's not wrong, Bobby.

It's not the same.

We can't punish an innocent young Black man

for something your drug-dealing son did.

Besides, you know what's great for business these days?

Inclusivity and diversity.

"Inclusivity and diversity."

What, are you serious?

Oh, come on, Dad.

What, the firm's gonna take Juneteenth as a holiday now?

I guess we would have the vineyard to ourselves.

Um, I heard that sometimes TAs have a set of books

that students can borrow, and I was wondering if maybe...

Say no more. Help yourself.

Thanks.

One question, though.

How is it that you can afford a Balenciaga backpack

but not the books to put inside it?

Well, my parents are covering

tuition and not much else,

so I guess I'm kind of on my own.

Okay.

So the problem's bigger than American Psyche.

Well...

I might have the hookup

for a unique on-campus opportunity

if a young queen's not opposed to work.

Not at all.

Th-that would be amazing, actually.

Consider it done.

Thanks.

What the fuck is this?

Fuck.

Fuck this nigga.

Monet Tejada, what a surprise.

What the fuck is this about?

Clearly, you have a broken side mirror.

Wouldn't want you to be a hazard out there...

Bullshit. What do you want?

And why are you talking to Evelyn Castillo?

You know what? You can just shut the fuck up.

I'll ask the questions here.

Where were you the night of Carrie Milgram's murder?

That's none of your business.

Well, that's where you're wrong.

See, it was none of my business...

right up until Zeke Cross came to me about your possible

involvement in what was very likely not a suicide.

So I took a look around.

There's a funny thing.

There's a traffic cam photo of you

in the vicinity of Carrie Milgram's apartment

within the coroner's time of death window.

Zeke came to you?

Yeah, he did.

Thoughts and prayers, by the way.

So now I'm coming for you,

and I'm gonna keep coming for you

and your family and your fucking friends

until I get to the truth.

Look, I didn't have shit to do

with Carrie Milgram's death, and you know it.

Otherwise your ass would be out here with handcuffs and shit.

Knowing and proving are two different things,

but trust I'll get there.

Oh, you know what?

There was something else I figured out.

Your special relationship with Detective Ramirez.

Too bad your boyfriend's not around

- to get you out of this one. - Look, I don't know

what the fuck you talking about,

so unless you gonna arrest me, get the fuck out of here

harassing me with this bullshit.

You can go,

but I'll see you soon.

Fuck.

Uh... yeah, I'm on it.

I'm on it.

Saxe!

Saxe!

Jesus Christ.

- You rang? - I just got a disturbing call

from Monet Tejada about some police harassment.

Is your girlfriend working

with that fucking ass clown, Whitman?

Okay, you... first of all, Jenny's not my girlfriend.

Just ask her.

Second of all, I'll find out.

Yes, do that.

Have we, uh, moved forward on Rollins?

Ah, not yet.

Not yet?

See, not yet needs to be right now,

so get on it.

Jenny Sullivan.

Hey.

You ever find out who was watching the Spears penthouse?

No. Why?

You might want to look into Kevin Whitman.

Hey, Tariq, can you set up the conference room

for the 3:00?

- Yeah, sure. - Thanks.

Ooh, that was a big one.

- To your health. - Oh, yeah.

- Oh, you bet. - L'chaim.

- Ooh. - Ah, fuck yeah.

- Tasty. - Fuck yes.

Ooh, fuck yeah.

- Yeah. - Fuck yeah.

What's up, new guy? Oh, uh, can you hook me up

with one of those bottles right there?

Dude, give me some of that.

- Yes, sir. - Last night was so fucked.

Doing it again tonight though, right?

- You know it. - Oh, yeah.

Ooh, that's a nice one.

Whoo.

Come on.

Wait, so you're telling me

American Ninja Warrior's the fucking plug?

Yup. He moves weight

all around the fund by leaving "protein powder"

in his clients' gym lockers...

And sometimes even on their fucking desks.

And the higher-ups know?

They know that everybody uses,

but not where it comes from,

but to be honest, they could give a shit.

- Fuck. - Caffeine, powder, pills.

All they care about is paper.

- Of course. - The burnout rate is so insane

that they just try and squeeze everything

out of people while they have 'em.

But listen, 'Riq,

I heard what you said about not shitting where we eat.

I mean, there's other avenues.

I already moved two bricks at the country clubs.

Bro, two fucking bricks?

- I know, I kn... - H-how many people work

on our floor alone at Weston Holdings?

Shit, I don't know, at least 30.

So you times that by 50 floors in our building,

then the rest of the buildings on fucking Wall Street.

Bro, that's more than everything we have combined.

That's what I'm saying.

We want to move Noma's product, that's exactly how we do it.

And if we want to take out Nick's pipeline in the process,

we can keep our names covered while we at it.

Shit, you don't gotta tell me twice.

I'm down.

But you know, Nick's not just gonna hand it over.

I know. See, that's why I didn't

want to fuck around here, B.

Shit can't get messy.

You know what?

I think I got an idea...

but we're gonna need Cane's help.

Hey, my man, my-my man, yo.

You got the time?

Uh, yeah, it's, like...

Time to pay up for what you did, motherfucker.

The fuck are you talking about?

I got back from DR and my whole fucking crew was wiped out.

This for them.

And this for Lil' Guap.

Fuck you, bitch.

I ever see you again, you're done.

Sorry, sorry. Sorry, baby.

I thought y'all deaded all them Guaps, shit.

I guess not.

What I can't seem to figure out is how the hell

did he know it was me that killed Lil' Guap?

And why he ain't kill me when he had the chance?

Wh-what the fuck were you doing in that part of the city, Dru?

Probably going to see Everett.

Shut up, Cane.

Dru, go lie down on your stomach

while I get something for the paint.

I told you he wasn't ready.

Our family's being targeted for killing the Guaps,

and I bet you whoever did that shit to Dru got Zeke too.

Mm. I ain't so sure.

I am.

You got any way of tracking this motherfucker down?

Yeah, maybe.

Go do that.

Go make this shit right for your mother and for Dru.

All right, so this is the spot.

Yo, I can't believe they have designated jobs

for Black students on campus.

Yeah, it's not an official thing.

They just get handed down each year from upperclassmen.

You know, I didn't have the best home situation either.

It takes a lot for people like us to make it here.

We have to look out for one another.

I feel that.

- Hi. - Water and soda in the cooler.

No booze, so no IDs.

Scale on the counter for bulk candy.

Students can use their Stallion points or you can pay cash.

What's your favorite?

Wait, let me guess.

100 Grand.

Why you say that, 'cause I'm poor?

No.

Okay? It's this.

Ohh, a Skittles girl.

- Mm-hmm. - Okay.

Taste the rainbow.

Oh, you know, I read they're all the same flavor.

They just make them smell different to trick your senses.

- No. - It's cheaper that way.

Mm-hmm. No, I don't believe you.

- That's cap. - That's capitalism.

Shifts are four hours each.

Look, you won't pay off any student loans with it,

but it'll buy you books,

and you'll have plenty of downtime to study,

plus, free candy.

Okay. Sounds perfect.

Yeah. Well, let me get your paperwork,

and then I can teach you the register.

Whatever.

Hold on.

You cool with being my girlfriend in public now?

'Cause ain't nobody

paying attention here.

Yeah, whatever. You made the drops?

Yep. Everything's circulating

at Harvard, Penn, Dartmouth,

and Yoli is taking it back to Yale.

Fire. Once those are up and running,

it won't matter that we can't sell at Stansfield.

We make a good team.

I'm gonna go put this on.

Uh, okay.

How much?

Uh, for the candy and the water, it is gonna be...

Uh, I got my own. Thank you.

Oh, 'scuse the fuck out of me.

Okay, that's $1.34.

- Your change. - Thank you.

You're welcome. And $1 for the water.

All right, got you.

Here you go.

Come on.

Look, I know the schools ain't really

bringing in that much money yet.

You good? 'Cause we about to be

flush as fuck on Wall Street,

so if you need anything, I got you.

I got it covered, thank you.

So Brayden sold you on moving weight at his family's fund?

I mean, shit, he ain't even have to.

Shit sells itself.

'Bout to blow the fuck up.

Councilman.

Young Weston.

Thank you for meeting me here.

No, thank you for this very, uh,

generous contribution to my campaign.

I think BruShaundria's gonna work out just fine.

I told you, she's money.

But listen, you can never tell Tariq about this.

In exchange for the Weston name to my list of donors?

No need to worry. I'll take it to the grave.

I just hope my young brother Tariq lands on his feet.

Oh, no, no, you don't got to worry about that.

He already has, trust me.

Hey. Bad news.

My bosses don't think we have enough

to greenlight a RICO investigation.

They're having a hard time believing

that a college kid is behind a drug org.

What'll it take?

They need the dots connected.

How does Tariq know Ramirez?

What's his connection to Dante Spears?

Is that where the drugs were coming from?

And if so, who's their new connect?

You wanted to see me?

I thought I told you to stand down,

so why am I hearing about you grilling Monet Tejada

over a bogus traffic stop?

Uh, with all due respect, you're not my supervisor.

Would you like me to have a chat with your supervisor?

Because you'd be looking at suspension.

You know, maybe you'd prefer to know what I know,

'cause you're only looking at half the picture.

I'm listening.

She on the team?

Blanca Rodriguez, DEA.

All right, when I had Zeke Cross in the box,

he had a PBA card from Detective Danilo Ramirez.

After he lied to me about how he got it,

I did some digging, and it turns out

that Ramirez took a disproportionate number

of calls to the Tejada house.

On top of that, there's at least one instance

when Cane was pulled in

and Ramirez cleared the charges.

We know that Ramirez brought the Weston boys home

after Cane forced them to sell drugs on the street.

You're saying that Ramirez was working with the Tejadas?

No, for the Tejadas.

But more than that,

I think he was fucking Monet Tejada.

Look, you guys are...

you're focused on the St. Patrick kid.

He is not the kingpin.

Not by himself, anyway.

Holy shit.

Monet Tejada has known ties to Dante Spears.

If that's where they were getting their product...

There's our RICO.

It's something, all right,

but it'll take some doing to prove it.

Yeah, but it'll definitely give our task force a green light.

Maybe your being so fucking stubborn

has its advantages.

Stop moving.

You coming with me, motherfucker.

Fuck I am.

What do you want?

I-I been calling and texting you.

- Why didn't... - It's over, Dru.

Wait, I-I... look, I'm sorry I didn't make it last night.

- I don't care. - I-I can explain.

Clearly, you had something more important to do.

Ev, you don't see my fucking face?

I got jumped.

By the same guys from the club?

Or someone else this time?

Never mind. I don't want to know.

I've had enough, Dru. I'm moving to OKC.

I don't want any of this drama following me.

This isn't drama. This is my life.

Hey. Ev, this is...

this is our life.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't make it last night.

But I promise you, it's the only place I wanted to be.

No, please. It's always where I want to be.

You don't understand how bad my family

doesn't want this to work...

Maybe your family is right.

Ev, no...

Don't follow me!

Nice work in there, man.

You know, if you want to up your game, let me know.

I can hook you up with some supplements

that are next fucking level, all right?

A'ight, bet. I'll hit you up.

Got you. Anytime.

Fuck!

Oh, my God!

Ah, fuck!

I'm calling 911.

This the motherfucker who jumped Dru and killed Zeke.

The fuck I am. Fuck I am.

Look, I was out of the country

for that Zeke shit when it went down,

and I was hired to jump Dru.

Hired by who?

Don't believe a word this motherfucker says.

Of course he's gonna lie to try to save his fucking ass.

Yo, Cane, is this really the motherfucker that did it?

Found this on this greedy motherfucker.

I ain't do anything, man.

Dru's chain, Zeke's championship ring.

I ain't do anything.

Yeah, he must have pulled that shit off of Zeke

when he fucking killed him.

- Wait. I-I had nothing... - You motherfucker.

What the fuck y'all looking at?

Clean this shit up.

Okay.

Ah, come on, come on, come on.

What the fuck?

This is not a good time, Davis.

If you calling about Zeke, I got everything I need.

Holy shit.

What's up? Doing homework?

Uh, yeah, just finished.

Where were you?

Everything's in motion.

We 'bout to blow all the way up.

I see you got that taillight fixed.

Yeah, man, a while ago.

What's up, Cane? You good?

Hell yeah. Never been better.

'Cause I know you killed Zeke.

What the fuck are you talking about?

We just loaded up Zeke's killer into your car.

Monet may have bought that shit, old man, but not me.

Come on, man, you sent me to do a fucking job.

- I did it. - So what are you saying?

You're sounding all kind of crazy right now, Cane.

Sounding all crazy, huh?

You had all these fucking months to find Zeke's killer,

but I had no fucking problem finding Mecca's pilot,

and you know what he saw the night of the shooting?

Said he saw a bald guy, dark jacket,

broken taillight.

That was you, motherfucker.

Slow your fucking roll, Cane.

Zeke never wore that ring.

I even double-checked that shit on his IG.

So there's no way it was on him when he got got.

I'm guessing it was in that box of his shit

Monet can't bring herself to open.

But what really did it for me was the fucking look

on your face when that Guap said he was hired to jump Dru.

All that time inside, you'd think you'd have

a better fucking poker face.

You stole Zeke's ring,

you set up this nigga to jump my brother,

then you planted that shit when you paid him off.

How else would he know Dru was the one that killed Lil' Guap?

It had to be somebody in the family,

but the one thing I cannot figure out is why.

You got me all fucked up, Cane.

How about I run all this by Monet, see what she think?

- It was a fucking mistake. - Nah. A fucking mistake?

Yeah, it was. I fucked up.

I thought your mother was...

Zeke was in Mecca's car,

getting into Mecca's jet, so I thought he was Mecca.

I was doing what I need to do to protect our family,

like I always will.

But I would never, never hurt your mother like that, man.

That's even more stupid and pathetic than I thought.

Get the fuck off me, man.

All this time, you thinking I'm not ready

for the fucking throne?

But you weren't ready for me,

and now that I know the truth, I fucking own you.

So this Noma weight we talked about earlier?

You're gonna move it.

See you at the house.
