♪ Roll the dice for me

Give me some love,
dealer. Thank you.

Hit me.

♪ Hey, I'm trying to...

- Good.
- Let's go.

Yeah.

Big money, here we go.

I told you.

Copy. On my way.

MAN [over phone]: Code name:

This is Baby Bird checking in.

I heard talk about a
demonstration of some kind

at a big event coming up.

I gotta go.

Frankie, what is so
important you have to

bust up in here while
I'm using the bathroom?

What are you looking for?

I check the call log,

am I gonna find this
was just dialed?

I don't know. That's not mine.

Get off me! No.

No...

He asked you out?
It's about time.

He invited me for drinks.

Sometimes drinks are.
- Just drinks. - Oh, girl, please.

You know what's in
that man's head.

We all do. Maybe.

But I'm trying to figure
out what's in my own.

Dante's got a lot going on.

So do I.

That is just life, baby.

And that is no reason
to run away from this.

I'm not running away.

I just think

neither one of us
wants something casual.

And if we rush into this
before we're ready...

- Morning.
- Hey. Morning.

How's everything at your dad's?

How's he holding up?

I don't know. Kelly
moved all her stuff out,

so the place just
feels sort of empty.

I just can't believe
they broke up.

I never even saw them fight.

Relationships are
hard, sweetheart,

but your dad's gonna be okay.

So will you. How
about some juice?

Sure, Auntie.

Oh, um, by the way, I'm
gonna be home a little late.

I signed up for another
Peer Ear shift after school.

Peer Ear. That's the
student counseling program.

Mm-hmm. And you know what?

I am really enjoying it.

So, last week, I helped a guy
talk through a recent breakup.

And today I'm meeting
up with a new girl

who's having a hard
time making friends.

Look at you, making the
world a better place.

I would expect nothing
less from my baby girl.

No. Okay, it is nothing
compared to what you do, Mom.

No, don't diminish this.

No matter how big or small
people's problems are,

you're making a
difference in their lives.

That's what counts.

Thanks, Mom.

I gotta take this.
I'm proud of you, Dee.

Hey, Marcus, what's up?

Thanks for meeting me, Robyn.

Sorry to bother you so early.

No bother. Everything okay?

Uh... Actually, no.

My old partner's gone
missing on an op.

Vice Detective Rose Garcia.

Saved my ass on more
than one occasion.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, how long since
her last contact?

Three days.

Went in as a waitress
at this private casino

run by a guy named
Charles Benson.

Part of the Blanco syndicate.

So Vice thinks there's more
going on than just gambling.

That's what Garcia was
trying to find out.

Thought she was getting close,
but then she disappeared.

Well, why can't Vice
just raid the place?

I mean, surely a missing
undercover is probable cause.

Well, seems the Feds have been
sitting on Benson for a while.

Part of a larger
case they're building

against the Blancos, so
no one can make a move

without their say-so.

And an ongoing investigation
is more important

than a Vice cop's life.

I can't leave her there, Robyn.

We can't. And we won't.

Hello, Harry.

- How can I help you?
- Yes.

M.E.L., hack into the grid
and show me all live footage

from every street
cam on Broadway

between 70th and 79th.

Task completed.

- Oh, it speaks now.
- Yes, yes.

- Pretty impressive, huh?
- It's something.

Did you get my
text about Benson?

Yes. Uh, and I was just
about to put M.E.L. on it.

M.E.L., uh, show me
everything you've got

about criminal Charles Benson.

Use all available databases.

Checking.

Ah, you got this thing
back up and running.

Task completed.

Looks like Benson went
from two-bit con artist

to Blanco lieutenant in
a little over six years.

If we're gonna find
out what happened

to Dante's old partner,
I think we need to get

someone inside Benson's casino.

Except if Benson
made Detective Garcia

as an undercover,
he's gonna be wary

of anyone just turning
up out of nowhere.

So whomever it is
should ideally be

someone he already knows.

M.E.L., generate a complete
list of all known associates

of Charles Benson,
past and present.

Searching.

Task completed.

What's that news article there?

This was Benson's old crew
when he was pulling cons.

Looks like their last
job didn't go well.

Their mark came home
early, surprised them,

at which point
Benson pulled a gun

- and started shooting.
- Only the other guy shot back.

"One associate, Sylvia
Ross, was killed.

"Charles Benson fled the scene,

"is wanted for questioning,
and a third member of the crew

was apprehended."

Where is he?

The guy who got caught?

J.J. Cranson, doing eight
and a half at Riverview.

You expect me to get
this guy out of prison?

ROBYN [over phone]: Hear
me out. J.J. Cranson

has been serving
time ever since a con

he and Benson pulled
went sideways.

Benson got off scot-free.

Which means J.J.
didn't dime on him.

So you think that makes him...

Someone Benson might
be happy to see.

All right, maybe, but this
guy is a con artist, a liar,

degenerate gambler,
not to mention

- a serious flight risk.
- I know it's unusual,

but you came to me
because the usual playbook

isn't gonna cut it.

Let me try this.

What if he doesn't want to help?

Oh, I can be very persuasive.

Hell no, I ain't going
nowhere near Charles Benson.

I value my life. No, thank you.

What if I got you
a reduced sentence?

I just did eight years.

I got six months left,
and I'm a free man.

Plus, I got a beautiful
woman waiting on me, too.

We're gonna move to a
small town in Vermont,

live a nice, quiet
life. I'm out.

I'll go serve out
the rest of my time

in a safe cell.

What about your
old partner Sylvia?

- What about her?
- Seems to me the whole reason

you got caught that
night is because

you stayed behind to help her.

A lot of good that did.

She died anyway.

But at least you
cared enough to try.

Which Benson didn't.

What's it even matter, okay?

It's the past. We-we
can't bring her back.

We can't bring Sylvia back.

But you can keep it
from happening again

by helping us with Benson.

Listen, lady, let me get
this straight with you.

J.J. Cranson, I don't
do no snitching.

But this is not about snitching.

This is about saving a life.

This missing detective is
my friend's old partner.

His Sylvia.

I see what you're trying to do.

You're trying to
manipulate my emotions,

and I don't appreciate it.

And it's not gonna work. Sorry.

If you're okay
letting Benson skate

for what he did to
Sylvia, that's your call.

But if you're willing
to let it happen

to another woman because of him,

then that's on you.

Now, that is a good
burger right there.

I'm ready to turn
over a new leaf.

No more gambling,
no more conning.

Just a nice, quiet life.

It's a good thing. I'm not sure

how much action you'll
find in Vermont with, uh...

What's your lady's name?

Bertha. Bertha Mitchell.

And how'd you guys meet?

We haven't met yet,
but I met her through

a prison pen pal deal.

So it was love at
first read, huh?

No. But we spoke on the phone,

swapped some pictures.

- What?
- Nothing.

You think I got
catfished, don't you?

The con getting conned.

How about I make a
little wager with you?

I thought you quit gambling.

A friendly wager
is not gambling.

Okay, I'm just trying to
help you with that, uh,

"new leaf" thing.

You want to help me?

Let me see my grandma
while I'm out.

I don't think she's gonna
make it another six months.

You come through for
us, I'm pretty sure

I can make that happen.

And we gotta stop
by my boy's place.

He's holding some suits for me.

You know, for a guy who's
been out 15 minutes,

you got a lot of requests.

You want me to step
back into my old life

like it's never changed?

I gotta get into character.

Besides, I already told
him that we coming.

Fine. I'm going in with you.

Huh?

Right there. That's
my boy's place.

He gonna be so happy to see me.

- Damn.
- You know these guys?

I know who they work for.

You know, I didn't
have time to settle

some of my gambling debts
before I got locked up.

- Hey, J.J. What's up?
- How did they know I was coming here?

Because your boy sold you out.

Son of a bitch.

Don't worry, I'll handle this.

With that?

That better be a lightsaber.

Hey...

I needed that to keep the
brisk air off my neck.

Stay in the car. Got it.

I don't want any trouble, guys.

What say we talk this out?

Guess not.

Damn!

Damn!

I knew this was a bad idea.

- Don't worry. I'll find him.
- Well, even if you do,

J.J. bolted at the
first sign of danger.

What makes you so sure he's
gonna help us with Benson?

I'm not, but my gut tells
me he has a good soul,

wants to do right by Garcia.

It's why he agreed to help.

- Or he saw a chance to escape.
- Either way,

he's the best shot we have at
getting inside that casino.

Feeling lucky today, huh?

Man.

Thank God you found me.

It ain't safe for me out here.

How did you find me, anyway?

A tracker?

Where's the trust?

In your stomach. That
burger you ate today

had an ingestible
geolocation device in it.

- I feel violated.
- Relax.

It'll be out of your
system in a day or two.

Come on.

Where we going?

I'm taking you back to prison.

No, Benson is gonna pay
for what he did to Sylvia.

I was going to look for you,

I swear.

Oh, right after you finished not
gambling with those scratchers?

No, that's not gambling,
that's desperation,

'cause I got to pay
them loan sharks.

And that's your plan?

You know the odds of
winning with those things?

Like M.J. say, you miss 100%
of the bets you don't make.

It was "shots."
And it was Gretzky.

- I-I know it was Jordan.
- Gretzky.

You want to bet?

This is who you're looking for.

Detective Rose Garcia.

Got it. I'll reach out

to some mutuals,
see if I can set

a meeting with Benson.

As long as it's not your bookie.

I told you, I got that.

Is she like this all the time?

Insightful? Yes.

One more thing.

Garcia overheard
Benson talking about

some kind of demonstration.

I'm not sure if it's related
to her disappearance.

I'll see what I can find out.

Just so you guys
know, there's a chance

Benson might not be
thrilled to see me.

And why is that?

The last job, we
got off with 200K.

He think I stashed the money
and didn't give him his cut.

Did you? No.

The cops that busted
me took they money.

Don't worry.

We'll be close by, just in
case we need to pull you out.

At least my fits
aren't a nightmare.

Girl, you wish. My
style always eats.

Like trash. Shut up.

You're one to talk, loser.

You're such a stuck-up bitch.

Guys, hey, hey.

What's going on?

Uh-uh, we don't need
Little Miss Perfect

- butting into our conversation.
- Excuse me?

Hey, we don't need your
Peer Ear over here, okay?

Wouldn't hurt to be
nice, is all I'm saying.

"It wouldn't hurt to be nice."

What is that, the Peer
Ear mission statement?

Can't help poking her nose
in other people's problems

'cause she's got
none of her own.

- What? That's not true.
- Oh, sure it is.

And everybody knows it.

Okay, no. People don't
think that about me.

Bye, Peer Ear.

Hey, Delilah, where you going?

As soon as J.J.'s in
position, I'll activate

the camera in his shirt button.

Everything he sees and hears

will be sent to our screens.

Thanks, Harry.

You okay?

I've got a bad
feeling about this.

J.J.'s solid.

We're gonna find out what's
going on with your friend.

That's what I'm worried about.

Guys, it's showtime.

Charlie!

You got a lot of damn
nerve showing up here.

Got my money?

I don't know what you heard,
but the night the cops got me,

they took it all.

I swear.

You think I care about
that chump change?

Man... it's great
to see you, brother.

No, how you do me
like that? J.J.

Man, come in. Let
me show you around.

You want anything?

Food?

- You-you want a drink?
- Man, I've been down for eight years.

Where the girls at?

Same old J.J.

Yeah, man. I'm surprised
to see you, though.

I thought you had six months
left on your sentence.

Ah, I got off on
good behavior, man.

Long as you didn't
do nothing stupid,

like cut a deal.

No, I did eight years.

Why would I cut a deal? I
only had six months left.

They probably got
tired of my jokes.

Right, right. You're right.

Come.

Lot's changed since
you went away.

Wow, you leveling up big time.

Listen...

J.J.,

I know, uh, you and
Sylvia were close.

What happened that
night, that was, that was

that was messed up, but...

But I had to jet. - I mean, you get that, right?
- Of course you did.

You couldn't have got
all this in the pen.

Appreciate you staying loyal.

I won't forget that.

What a piece of dirt.

You were right
about J.J., though.

Benson sure is happy to see him.

Well, let's hope
it stays that way.

Truth is, J.J.,

I could use someone to
help me run this place.

I can't be everywhere
all at once.

It's really not my thing, man.

Stop lying. It's who we are.

And you need to embrace
it, make it a strength.

I turned my habit
into an empire, man

now you can be a part of that.

I mean, you earned it.

Got to take this.

Don't go anywhere.

Yeah.

Things are in place...

Hey, man.

I don't kiss on the first date.

Listen up, funny man.

Boss might be cool with
you, but I don't know you.

And I definitely don't like you.

First sign you're
up to something,

I'm gonna put a
bullet in your head.

Sorry about that.

Just a few last-minute details
to arrange for tonight's event.

Come on. Tour's not over yet.

This place is a lot
more than just a casino.

Wow.

It's like a candy shop.

Vice was right.

Benson's got a lot more
going on than just a casino.

Hey, Harry, you
getting all this?

Yeah, and more.

As part of M.E.L.'s training,
I-I had it track people

on FBI and CIA watch lists.

And it turns out
there's been a surge

of these bad hombres

coming into New York
the last couple of days.

Some real heavy hitters:

A known arms dealer,
a bomb maker with ties

- to terrorist organizations.
- A Colombian drug lord's lieutenant,

a walking Geneva
Convention violation

known as "The Chemist."

And we think they're
all here for Benson?

He did mention he was
hosting an event tonight.

Think we just got a look
at what's on the menu.

Who is that?

Hardly matters now, does it?

Take a good look.

This is how we deal with rats.

Dante, is that...?

Yeah.

Rose Garcia.

This is on me, Robyn.

I should have pressed
the issue with Vice,

taken it to the
higher-ups myself.

- I could've come to you sooner.
- Hey.

What happened with Garcia is a

it's a devastating loss.

But this is not your fault.

We knew each other a long time.

Came through the
academy together.

They really put me through it.

Nobody wanted another Big
Ben on the job, right?

Made every day hell trying
to get me to drop out.

I almost did, more than once.

But each time, Garcia was there,

reminding me of who I was,
what I was there to prove.

So I stuck it out.

She sounds like a real friend.

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for her.

And now she... Marcus.

I am so sorry.

But we're gonna get this guy.

Maybe now that we know about
all the contraband in there,

we can get a warrant.

Not sure if the joint task
force sitting on Benson

will see it that way.

Well, then, we'll
go over their heads.

We'll take it straight
to DA Grafton.

That may work.

Whatever it takes to
bring this guy down.

We got you.

We all got you.

Auntie? Hey.

Uh, what are you doing here?

Your school called about
you missing two classes,

and when you weren't
answering your phone,

I got worried.

Sorry, I just, I put
it on do not disturb.

I didn't feel like
talking to anybody.

How did you find me?

Find Your Friends works
on nieces, too, you know.

So, what's motivated
this little field trip?

These two girls were fighting,
and when I tried to stop them,

they accused me of being
nosy, with no life.

Please.

I'm sure they're just jealous.

And who cares what a
couple of girls think?

It's not just a couple of girls.

What is this?

It's a social media page

some kids made to
talk about people

including me.

"Dull-ilah"?

That's the best they
could come up with?

I know it's stupid and I
shouldn't care, but I do.

They said that my
life seems perfect.

I have problems, too, even
if I don't talk about them.

My mom has an extremely
dangerous job,

my dad's going through
a divorce and, yeah,

I enjoy helping people.

Is that so bad?

No, it's just the opposite.

Well, I just wish I could
find more people like me.

People focused on
helping other people

as opposed to hurting them.

Is this the reason that you're
looking at the military?

It's one of them, I guess.

I just can't help feeling

I'll meet more people
like myself there.

Ones focused on
making a difference,

like you and Mom said.

Honey, I...

I also think that if you
looked a little harder,

you could find like-minded
students at your school.

Besides, you keep skipping
classes like this,

the only new friends
you're gonna find

are the ones in detention.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm cold. Can we go now?

Yeah, I'm cold, too.

Hey, your friend mentioned

maybe we can go over
my Grandma's house

- before you take me back.
- She did.

She gave me the address.

Your friend's a good woman.

She said she was
probably your bookie.

Come on, m-my
grandmother's real.

If you don't believe me, you can
stop in and see for yourself.

Oh, I intend to.

And I can tell her
you my girlfriend.

Yeah, but she's sharp, though,

so you might have to
do a little convincing.

Gonna have to really, really act

like you love me,
and hold hands.

Give me a little kiss.
- On the cheek. - I'll wait outside.

But if you try to run,
I'm telling you, J.J.,

I will go in there, you will
not see the light of day.

I ate a tracker.
Where am I gonna go?

Hey, Grandma.

It's J.J.

J.J.

Get over here and
give Grandma a kiss.

Mwah. Ah, Grandma,

I wish I could've
came here sooner,

but, you know, I've been busy.

- I've been on vacation.
- I know you're always

into something,
that's what I know.

You still crazy, Grandma.

Hey, is that bag still there
that I left that night?

Right where you put it.

That's what I love.
- About you, Grandma. - Mm.

You going somewhere
with all this cash?

Frankie, don't jump to.
- Conclusions, baby. Come on. - Oh, like what?

- Come on.
- Like you've been holding out on Benson for all these years?

You can have it all. - Take the money, man.
- Oh, I'm gonna take it to him.

I'm also gonna bring you,

in a box.

About time!

- You got to be kidding me.
- It's not what it look like.

I should have. - Let him shoot you.
- I wasn't running.

I'm meeting someone to
give them this money.

- Yeah, your bookie.
- No. Bertha.

My girl.

She needed the money to pay
off our spot in Vermont.

Why is it so hard
for you to believe

a single thing that I say?

Do I really need to answer that?

Okay.

Hold on, I got to take this.

Babe, you are not gonna
believe what just happened.

Yeah, whatever it is, I win.

So check this out:
I-I was going through.

J.J.'s footage, you know,
for the, for the DA,

and I thought I saw
Garcia's finger twitch.

All right? So I had M.E.L.

run a program that
helps detect deepfakes

by analyzing skin
tone, minute changes

that could infer blood
circulation, which...

determine whether or not... Wait a
minute, are you saying that she's...

Alive. I mean, heavily
sedated, but alive.

That's amazing.

But w-why?

What do they have
planned for her?

I don't know, I mean,
that's the question.

All right, well, I got one
of Benson's guys right here.

J.J., check his pockets.

Maybe the texts on his phone
will tell us something.

Trying to put me in a box?
I'm-a put you in a box.

If I can find one big enough.
Yeah, bet you ain't think

you was gonna get kicked in
the head, did you, Frankie?

Is this medication?

Let me see.

Let me see...

I recognize these.
Atropine, pralidoxime.

They used to give them to
the Army right before battle.

This is a nerve agent antidote.

We know that Benson
deals in arms.

I mean, that could
include chemical weapons.

Didn't Garcia's last report
say Benson was planning

some sort of demonstration?

If he's gonna
demonstrate nerve gas,

he needs someone to
demonstrate it on.

Okay, it's ready.

What? No.

No, no, no! No!

Help! Somebody!

Help me! Help!

Please help me!

You got to get me into
that event tonight.

If Benson is planning on
testing a chemical weapon

on Detective Garcia, I got
to be there to stop him.

I think I have an idea.

See that boat, 100
miles offshore?

M.E.L.'s been tracking it.

According to its, uh,
hull identity number,

it belongs to Cynthia
Penn, British financier.

The billionaire tied to
terrorist organizations.

She's due to New York
Harbor in a few hours.

No doubt on her way
to Benson's shindig.

If I can get into New York
Border Patrol's system,

I might be able to flag it,

and the Coast Guard
will intercept the boat.

Which will allow me to
show up in her place.

You know, I can drum up some
counterfeit documentation,

make it look like
you work for Penn,

but you're gonna
still need an assist

on the inside to pull it off.

Looks like J.J. won't be going
back to his cell just yet.

Yeah, I'll help.

Now, you see how that works?

One person asks for a favor

- and the other one agrees.
- He's just mad

'cause I'm not gonna waste time

at his grandma's house waiting
for his "friend" Martha.

It's Bertha. It's Bertha
Mitchell, all right?

And she's probably up
there mad right now

'cause I stood her up.

Uh...

J.J., here's the thing.

There is no Bertha Mitchell

with property in the
state of Vermont.

- Or anywhere else.
- What?

But she told me over the phone.

She even sent me pictures.

Oh, man.

I was catfished.

Yeah. She played you.

- I'm so dumb.
- Sorry, J.J.

Such an obvious con.

It's karma, right?

♪ When she came...

Good evening.

Welcome. Name?

Rowena Smythe for Ms. Penn.

Sorry, ma'am.
Cleared guests only.

You do know who
Ms. Penn is, right?

Do you really want to be the guy

who costs Mr. Benson, well

let's just say a number
with a whole lot of zeroes.

Hank, could you back up?

Now, she's already been cleared.

Sorry about that, Ms. Smythe.

Did you find out where
they're holding her?

No, but there's a
few armed guards

outside a room downstairs.

But we got to hurry.

From my understanding,

the demonstration's
happening in 30.

- You know what to do.
- Okay.

I'm in.

- You have access to the cameras?
- Yeah, all set.

The, uh, transmitter J.J.
installed did the trick.

Whoa, whoa. Go back. Go back.

Turn left.

Harry, I could use an update.

Mel's in. She's
starting her approach.

Let me know when
she's secured Garcia.

All right, getting close.

Take your next left at
the end of the hallway.

That should put you
one right turn away.

All right, uh, there
are two armed guards.

Harry? She's gone.
They moved her.

Dante.

- Garcia's not there.
- Damn it, Harry.

Rob, do you copy? - They moved her.
- Now what? She could be anywhere.

Not just anywhere. They
likely moved her for a reason.

Probably to somewhere
better suited to testing

deadly airborne substances.

- Like a lab.
- M.E.L.,

how many labs in the general
area of Benson's casino?

Searching. There are 12 results.

Rob, there are 12 labs.

I can review street
cam footage, but, uh,

I mean, even using M.E.L.,
it's gonna take some time

- to find which one.
- We don't have time.

The demonstration
starts in ten minutes.

You're gonna have to delay it.

Mr. Benson? Rowena Smythe.

Ms. Penn has a request.

What is it?

Call off the demonstration.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

The other buyers
have asked for it.

Ms. Penn believes she
should be the only buyer.

How's ten million sound?

That-that's-that's
a good offer, but

it would be bad
business on my part

to disappoint the others.

Then we have a problem.

Ms. Penn doesn't like
others knowing her affairs.

No can do. I'm...

- Tell Ms. Penn I'm sorry.
- Mr. Benson, I understand

you're a gambling man.

How about we play
one round of poker?

Heads-up.

If I win, you sell my
boss the whole batch,

$10 million, no demonstration.

And if I win?

Then you sell the product
to whoever you want.

And keep the ten million
for your troubles.

Unless you're no good at cards.

One round.

J.J., talk to me.

She led Benson away.

I think he took the bait.

♪ Love is falling from the sky

J.J., y-you're my eyes.

What's going on?

Screw it.

♪ La, la, la, la, la

♪ La, la, la...

Check.

Ten, king, ace.

You like your hand, Mr. Benson?

I like it just fine.

Sure you do.

Check.

Seven of spades.

Ten of hearts.

This is my lucky day.

Is it really, though?

You're right.

I'm bluffing.

Or am I?

All in.

You got nothing.

Call.

And that's...

Full house beats a straight.

Now call off the demonstration.

Rob. Rob, you got
to get out of there.

You got to bail right now, okay?

Penn is taking a helicopter
from her yacht into the city.

She could be there any minute.

That woman right there.

Sir, there's a problem.

Ms. Penn says she has no
idea who this person is.

It's a pleasure to
meet you, Ms. Smythe.

Tell them to find out who
sent her, then kill her.

And gather the buyers
for the main event. Okay.

Possible match. Two
men carrying a person

of the same approximate height
and size of Detective Garcia.

That's her. Dante... Dante,
that's her. We found her.

All right, how far?

15 blocks. I'm sending
you the location.

But you're gonna have to hurry.

Okay. We're on the move.

We're a go.

It's on. Hey.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey!

Where's Benson? Where did he go?

Double down, sir?

All right, everybody.

Gather around, please,
for the demonstration.

Hey!

No! Stop!

Please! No!

No!

Infiltrated?

By who?

Have a car meet me out back.

It's your turn to go
down now, Charlie.

I'll be back for
you, old friend.

Or you won't.

Move, move.

Call it off now or else.

Don't make a move!

Police! Don't move!

Someone turn off the gas!

Hang on, Garcia. I'm here.

Come on. Come on, come on.

I got you. I got you.

I got you.

Hang in there. Hang in there.

So I talked to DA Grafton.

All that contraband
should put Benson away

for a very long time.

Good. Yeah, I hope so.

What about your old
partner, the detective?

Is she okay?

Still touch and go.

If she makes it,
it's because of you.

Yeah, J.J., we can't
thank you enough.

Yeah, you really can't.

But getting my 200 grand back,
that'll be a great start.

You mean the 200,000 you stole?

You know you got to
give that back, right?

Yeah... But you know what?

You do deserve a reward.

What do you think, Dante?

Well, we did seize a lot of
cash from Benson's operation.

I think $200,000 is appropriate.

You're not playing
with me now, right?

No. And this time,
you earned it.

Oh, thank you, man.

But you know I was up a half a
million at that blackjack table.

No, I'm serious.

It's the hospital. Excuse me.

So, listen...

That reward money,

it'll be waiting for
you when you get out.

Or...

I can hold on to it for you
till you get your head straight.

I thought I beat that
gambling bug, but...

I guess I still got
some work to do.

Yeah, well, one day at a time.

Nothing changes overnight.
You'll get there.

I was ready to turn over
a new leaf for Bertha, but

now that's gone.

You can't do it for
anyone else, J.J.

It won't stick.

You got to feel
it from here, but

you got it in you.

Hey, have you ever thought about
becoming a motivational speaker?

Come on, time to
go back to prison.

Hey. Damn.

Tim Robbins never started
his sessions like that.

You mean Tony Robbins?

J.J.?

Bertha?

She's real.

You're real.

Harry, you said that...

I was right. Uh, there
is no Bertha Mitchell

who owns property in
Vermont, but that's because

this isn't Bertha Mitchell.

Janine Carter.

It's nice to finally meet you.

You used a fake name.

Where's the trust?

Trust? She was writing
to a convicted conman.

Well, she's smart.

I like that in a woman.

I'm glad you're okay.

I'm... I'm-I'm great.

I'm okay. I-I'm more than okay.

Yeah, thanks. I'll
check in again later.

Okay.

Garcia is gonna be okay.

Great. I know you're relieved.

Thank you, Robyn.

This one meant a lot.

I'm just glad you were able
to keep your promise to her.

Me, too.

If I can't honor my
commitments, well

that's not the man I want to be.

Marcus...

You know, no matter how
this would've turned out,

you're not your father.

You understand?

I hope so.

You are a decent human being.

You honor your word.

You're a man I would
trust with my life.

Thank you.

For always being there for me.

Showing up when it counts.

About those drinks... Oh.

It's okay. Don't worry about it.

Clear your head.

You got a lot to process.

I'm not going anywhere.

Good.

You are home way too early.

What happened to
drinks with Dante?

On hold for now.

And before you
begin to lecture me,

it was him who pressed pause.

But it's all right.

All I know is,

if you wait around
making too many excuses,

life will pass you by.

You know, I met someone today.

And this guy had zero
reason to believe

that things would work out
with him and this woman,

but he went on this crazy
roller-coaster ride,

and he really hung on.

And at the end of the day,

he got his happily ever after.

But you know it doesn't
always turn out happy.

Yeah, but sometimes you got
to take that leap of faith.

You make zero percent of
the shots you don't take.

Oh, I love that quote.

Everybody always
thinks MJ said it,

but it was actually Gretzky.

Thank you!

Hello, Mom.

Hey, baby girl. Come here.

Hi.

I got a call from
your school today.

Your auntie told me

that some of these girls
been drinking hater-ade.

They showed me this
IG account and...

I overreacted.

But Dee, in life, there's
always gonna be someone

who's gonna try to throw
you off your course.

Don't let them.

It usually means you're
doing something right.

Now, let me see this website.

Okay.

"Dull-ilah"?

I wish my life was dull.

Turns out it's not
even so bad after all.

And most of the comments
are actually very nice.

Yeah? Let me see that.

"This is crazy.

"Dee is too busy
making boss girl moves

to stress over this
mess."ROBYN: See?

- Yes.
- Some people know what time it is.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, also?

Peer counseling was so fun.

Y'all remember that girl
I was telling you about?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, so it turns out

she was self-conscious
because people kept whispering

and staring at her in the halls.

But I think I really helped her.

Well, what'd you tell her?

I gave her a song
to sing in her head

to help build her
confidence: "Made You Look."

Oh, I love that song.
