00:04 Asian theme song
00:06 yeah
00:08 did you see the video with Kendrick Lamar
00:10 and um
00:12 his crew watching power
00:14 they were like dancing to this song
00:16 oh yeah? yeah you should have seen it
00:18 it was kinda hot
00:20 let me get my pants on then
00:22 thank god we're not doing video
00:24 yeah watch that
00:26 look at that
00:28 did you see that?
00:30 a lot of people out there would be happy
00:32 you're not looking at this right now
00:34 snake, I'm doing a snake
00:36 y'all don't know about that
00:38 what?
00:40 was that a bank head bounce I saw?
00:42 yeah that was a little bank head bounce
00:44 I'm bringing the old school back
00:46 see I feel you can get ready
00:48 for your favorite
00:50 show with a little exercise
00:52 you know get your mind hyped like you going to the club
00:54 cause you know they about to set it off
00:56 last week was crazy
00:58 yeah
01:00 Angela finding that evidence
01:02 there for gold
01:04 you know what I'm saying? going to look crazy
01:06 let's see if your predictions come true
01:08 alright let's go
01:10 you know this is my part I gotta sing this
01:12 here we go
01:14 uh huh
01:16 uh uh
01:18 oh yeah
01:20 I was a little under the weather
01:22 today you know my voice
01:24 I'm not feeling the best so y'all gotta excuse me
01:26 uh
01:28 okay
01:30 alright let's get into it
01:32 alright so we open up with Angela talking to
01:34 her sister and I think one of the better
01:36 things that I like about that scene
01:38 was they were going back and forth in English
01:40 and Spanish and it's just what
01:42 Spanish people just do naturally
01:44 yeah yeah we from
01:46 the Bronx New York so we know how the Latinos
01:48 flow and they go back and forth
01:50 that was pretty authentic
01:52 yeah that was pretty good
01:54 um
01:56 you know Silva's whole thing with Jamie
01:58 or whatever like why they freeze your funds
02:00 you know what are they going to find
02:02 yeah I think that's the problem that he can't trust
02:04 them I mean the bottom line is
02:06 the only way a lawyer can really work for you
02:08 is if they know everything there is to know
02:10 right
02:12 if you withhold stuff from them then they can't
02:14 preemptively you know
02:16 protect you
02:18 that's a real big problem
02:20 I don't know how this is going to work
02:22 because you know the other
02:24 guy knew everything about his background
02:26 right this guy he doesn't
02:28 like him he doesn't trust him
02:30 and um you know
02:32 he's not he's withholding information about
02:34 the nature of his relationship with Rex
02:36 I mean with Tommy
02:38 right and then last but not least
02:40 we see that Angela is trying to
02:42 present this new evidence and
02:44 to Mike the killer agent
02:46 right he's like nope not
02:48 going to happen yeah and then now
02:50 they're saying that they have a
02:52 check that was written from Tommy
02:54 to Ghost
02:56 to Jamie that they believe
02:58 may have been a murder
03:00 with higher payment right
03:02 I'm sure Jamie can get around that
03:04 yeah but um shout out
03:06 to Sax you know he's such a jerk
03:08 yeah he's always trying to
03:10 like you know incorporate a little bit of Spanish
03:12 or whatever yeah he's a
03:14 he's a big asshole you know I
03:16 actually met him in real life and he actually
03:18 seems like a really cool guy
03:20 but I wonder how much of the character is him
03:22 or if it's written like that
03:24 next time I see him I gotta talk to him
03:26 it's perfect for him yeah he's a jerk
03:28 so Tommy
03:30 got Keisha rolling the blunts now
03:32 you're funny she did a good job
03:34 I have to say she has nice nails
03:36 oh you're funny
03:38 oh my god she is nice
03:40 that couch in
03:42 the St. Patrick residence the purple
03:44 I think it was more burgundy
03:46 it was like purple burgundy whatever
03:48 but it was everything I loved it
03:50 I would love that for my home
03:52 okay yeah anyway
03:54 so yeah so
03:56 Tasha
03:58 is met by the new
04:00 attorney in charge
04:02 and he basically tells her that she's gonna have to testify
04:04 she doesn't trust him
04:06 she's telling him everything's only up and up and there's nothing
04:08 for them to worry about
04:10 yeah but then there's that little
04:12 slide thing he did at the end
04:14 he was like I trust you can do it
04:16 you know giving her like a little
04:18 extra boost of confidence
04:20 yeah and he actually kinda touched her arm too
04:22 he kinda looked her up and down what was that about
04:24 yeah
04:26 he a sleazy ass nigga
04:28 I don't know about that but he looking like
04:30 he looking sleazy to me
04:32 he looking like he gonna go after Ghost's wife
04:34 mmm yeah Ghost will have to
04:36 put him down after all
04:38 alright so
04:40 um
04:42 alright so it looks like
04:44 Tommy? Charlie Murphy
04:46 oh yeah Charlie Murphy
04:48 his name is Marshall is his name Marshall?
04:50 he's a Marshall
04:52 he's a US Marshall but he has no name he's still Charlie
04:54 evil Charlie Murphy that's who he said he is
04:56 I'm sure he has a name okay so evil Charlie Murphy
04:58 is getting kicked out of getting
05:00 reassigned to another prison
05:02 so the evil Hannibal Lefter
05:04 guy
05:06 is basically telling him that he should
05:08 get back at Jamie because
05:10 Jamie is the reason he's getting kicked out
05:12 and
05:14 then
05:16 wait but what about this conversation with
05:18 Tommy just now
05:20 oh Tommy and Proctor? yeah
05:22 yeah it was interesting
05:24 nothing really developed there
05:26 yeah I mean I think Proctor just
05:28 gave us an overview as to what's
05:30 going on right that was helpful because
05:32 um you know thanks he's no longer a
05:34 part of the actual official
05:36 case but he's very important to
05:38 help the viewer
05:40 understand kind of what's going on
05:42 in basic terms he's dumbing it down
05:44 for um
05:46 for uh what's his name
05:48 Tommy he's dumbing it down
05:50 for Tommy he's dumbing it down for us so
05:52 all you dummies out there who don't understand what's going on
05:54 Proctor's explaining it to you so
05:56 always listen to what Proctor's doing
05:58 and saying alright keep it moving
06:00 nice touch
06:02 so Julio finally
06:04 got his gratuitous power sexy
06:06 yeah power we
06:08 gotta have sexy of everybody everybody get one
06:10 up in power well it's actually been quite a few
06:12 episodes that have not had one
06:14 well thank god I mean it's very distracting
06:16 even though it's very entertaining
06:18 it's like has nothing to do with
06:20 the story but I think it adds realism to the
06:22 whole thing so far yeah but Julio
06:24 you know that's my boy
06:26 right
06:28 anyway so we
06:30 see that um
06:32 Angela walks up on Proctor
06:34 and his daughter talking about who's this
06:36 like who are you to be walking up on me
06:38 and my daughter talking about who's this
06:40 everybody hates her why oh my god
06:42 I feel sorry for her now Mary Poppins
06:44 that's what she do she just pops in
06:46 I know I know
06:48 but you know it looks like she's back on
06:50 the right side of the game
06:52 and uh she's trying
06:54 love us we need a Amy
06:56 yeah well and then she goes to meet him
06:58 at the jail and gives him
07:00 information about that $70,000 check
07:02 which is 7 million dollars
07:04 oh 7 figures yeah 7 figures
07:06 oh
07:08 oh wow yeah okay
07:10 that's a huge expense for a security
07:12 firm I say but then again the security
07:14 firm also did save ghost life
07:16 when the Jamaicans tried to pop
07:18 him that Holly hired
07:20 yeah but is it reasonable that the judge would
07:22 have believed that a security firm
07:24 needed to be paid 7 million dollars
07:26 well at the end of the day the security firm
07:28 is legit yeah
07:30 so it doesn't really matter it's just
07:32 what it is but wait wasn't the security
07:34 firm that firm that what's his name the drug
07:36 runner was running right but it was legit
07:38 yeah because that a couple episodes ago
07:40 that's how he got the money
07:42 for something uh he was like yeah tell
07:44 um tell him
07:46 Peter owes us
07:48 oh yeah refund
07:50 or whatever yeah so that's how they
07:52 got the money okay
07:54 we forgot about Simon
07:56 Stern
07:58 Simon Stern
08:00 Simon Stern stepping up in the dirty jail
08:02 he looking kind of messy himself the kid
08:04 was looking all crazy yeah he trying to act
08:06 like he all clean he put his handkerchief
08:08 on you know before he touched
08:10 the phone and I hear that because I was doing the same
08:12 thing Simon Stern you know I don't be up in places
08:14 like that yeah so what kind of jerk
08:16 is he gonna be I mean
08:18 I mean listen I think that his like I think
08:20 Jamie should have told him he would take him up
08:22 on it hey like he had a lot of options right there
08:24 well I mean you know
08:26 you just don't want his money you know that Stern
08:28 has things attached he's not gonna be his errand boy
08:30 again yeah I know
08:32 I mean don't forget Jamie screwed
08:34 him in his divorce case
08:36 that's true ooh that's right
08:38 him and his wife collaborated
08:40 and screwed him over and honestly
08:42 he was looking kind of disheveled maybe
08:44 maybe he ain't up on it
08:46 you know the way he used to be you know before
08:48 so yeah that's kind
08:50 of like payback like yeah I'm gonna go get
08:52 I'm gonna hook him up but I'm gonna destroy him
08:54 wow at the same time
08:56 wow alright so
08:58 alright so
09:00 can I just say Tasha's weave
09:02 is looking very exceptional
09:04 like you know you got the line
09:06 in the middle and it's just parted so nicely
09:08 and you can't even see the weave
09:10 line nothing like that it's just
09:12 very well done and her makeup
09:14 as well you know you got these
09:16 high def TVs now and you can see everything
09:18 but her makeup is very well done
09:20 as well she looks impeccable
09:22 yes and congratulations
09:26 to her for having her baby
09:28 oh yeah yeah she had a baby with Benjamin
09:30 Ben
09:32 okay moving right along
09:36 so um it looks like
09:38 Stern is running up on Tasha
09:40 now like hey
09:42 I got money for you I'm just saying
09:44 I don't know how do we know it's not you know
09:46 I mean look you in freaking jail you need some
09:48 money hey
09:50 take the damn money I don't know why we
09:52 don't want to take the money because you know it's
09:54 gonna be some crazy interest or whatever
09:56 oh yeah that's true you think Stern is a fool
09:58 Stern ain't no fool Stern's a paper gangster
10:00 that's true that's true he certainly is
10:02 alright so Jamie takes the stand
10:04 right which was a wonderful
10:06 thanks to the information that
10:08 AUSA Valdez provided
10:10 right so he was able to
10:12 respond to that in a way that really gave him
10:14 a good standing with the
10:16 court with the court well the 8 mile
10:18 what's the 8 mile well
10:20 at the end when Eminem was battling
10:22 the rapper
10:24 he called he
10:26 dissed himself about everything that was gonna happen
10:28 ahh you know he was like
10:30 oh you gonna say I'm a white boy all that other stuff
10:32 he basically preemptively
10:34 you know said everything that the dude
10:36 was gonna say so that he really had
10:38 nothing to say and if he said it people would be like
10:40 we already he ain't really
10:42 bothered by that right well don't forget
10:44 this is not a people trial this is just a judge trial
10:46 right right right right so the judge would be like
10:48 why you asking that again he's already answered it
10:50 right right right right so that was
10:52 pretty smart by the way that was oh he spoke to the 8 mile
10:54 what what oh you just came up with that
10:56 I don't know I was just
10:58 you just came up with that terminology
11:00 I don't know I don't look at you
11:02 alright so where we at now
11:04 oh yeah you're Therese just told
11:06 Jamie Tommy that he had sex
11:08 and he was dre
11:10 of taking him to the party
11:12 right and then when Tommy
11:14 roll up on Dre and Dre's like I ain't taking him to no
11:16 party I'm taking him to his friend house
11:18 when they gonna find out about Kaden
11:20 Kaden just lurking in the background like the damn devil
11:22 Satan just always there but nobody can
11:24 put a finger on him evil
11:26 oh my god
11:28 so um we just saw a ghost
11:30 um
11:32 oh my god is this real
11:34 is this is he dreaming
11:36 did that really happen
11:38 yeah we're watching it oh my god
11:40 that was freaking crazy
11:42 yeah oh my god why did he
11:44 why did he go crazy like that oh my god
11:46 he's gonna freaking really be
11:48 oh my god how's he gonna get out of it this time
11:50 oh my god did you see the freaking
11:52 blood yeah that was some really good special effects
11:54 oh my god like freaking Courtney
11:56 Courtney you are such a winner
11:58 with the freaking whoever's doing
12:00 the special effects is a winner
12:02 yeah the bone and uh when
12:04 Tommy rolled the guy over the bone sticking out the
12:06 the blood was good I don't remember seeing that
12:08 oh my god like the face like
12:10 yo he
12:12 beat him in the chunks and it looked like Charlie Murphy
12:14 the whole time now I'm sure that it was
12:16 you know a fake but oh my god
12:18 like they did an awesome job with the
12:20 yeah why don't we finish
12:22 the scene and then we can
12:24 talk okay okay go ahead oh my god
12:26 it was I mean it was so devastating we had to actually
12:28 pull this oh my god that was terrible
12:30 yeah oh no
12:32 Charlie Murphy
12:34 bye bye f your couch
12:36 alright so you feel better
12:38 it looks like Teresi did a double
12:40 cross it looks like
12:42 Charlie Murphy was supposed to distract
12:44 Ghost then they were gonna come
12:46 in there and kill him and kill
12:48 and then kill Ghost but then Teresi says
12:50 change of plans and he killed
12:52 the black dude instead right
12:54 cause you start to realize like you know
12:56 what this guy could be an asset right
12:58 this guy got skills with his hands
13:00 you know he got you know
13:02 he's somebody that could be an ally
13:04 he got money yeah you know what I'm saying
13:06 so it's like and I need something
13:08 on him right now
13:10 we even you know
13:12 he got something on me I got something on him
13:14 so we kind of even so now
13:16 he's like well I need him to owe me something
13:18 right wow
13:20 that was good
13:22 that was a really good scene that was freaking psycho
13:24 yeah that was freaking
13:26 psycho crazy psycho can I tell you
13:28 something what I saw this a little earlier
13:32 you watched it earlier
13:34 yeah
13:36 I noticed you weren't screaming you didn't seem surprised
13:38 at all cause the first time I saw it I was screaming
13:40 you screaming like a bitch
13:42 not like a bitch
13:44 but a female dog bitch
13:46 alright so right now
13:48 you wanna say something yeah I got something to say
13:50 well what I wanna say is that couch is actually
13:52 wine color
13:54 it's like wine
13:56 yeah alright
13:58 I don't know if you realize this
14:00 but um
14:02 this was a mirror scene
14:04 similar to when jukebox
14:06 when Kandin told jukebox
14:08 that he killed Sean
14:10 and he really didn't know how jukebox was gonna take it
14:12 so jukebox was like
14:14 yo you gotta kill the weak
14:16 now with this one
14:18 Tasha was pretty much like
14:20 okay you killed Holly
14:22 that's really bad but hey
14:24 gotta protect the family
14:26 first of all that's a wonderful observation
14:28 you know people who listen to your
14:30 blog your podcast here
14:32 your video podcast
14:34 really get a lot of enriching value
14:36 from it wow
14:38 are you finished
14:40 making fun of me okay no I'm not
14:42 but we'll do more later okay
14:44 what I wanna say is
14:46 the posture of those two like
14:48 the way he was kinda leaned down
14:50 and she was standing up it was sorta like
14:52 she was mother
14:54 um married you know Catholic
14:56 in Catholic you know married
14:58 the mother of Jesus and he was leaning
15:00 you know looking for her forgiveness
15:02 you know looking for repentance
15:04 and she granted it to him and you can see in his eyes
15:06 he had hope again
15:08 it was like the weight was off his shoulder
15:10 you know so that was really interesting too
15:12 Courtney we breaking down your whole scene girl
15:14 we smart up in here
15:16 we got background information we got like
15:18 depth yeah
15:20 now another thing I noticed though was
15:22 people forget how manipulative Tasha
15:24 can be yeah if you remember
15:26 in I think it was season 2
15:28 when um
15:30 things were hitting the fan between
15:32 um Angela and Jamie
15:34 she instructed Jamie
15:36 to keep fucking that bitch until
15:38 I tell you to stop that's her
15:40 verbatim words that was quote unquote
15:42 you remember that right wow
15:44 and this is pretty much the same thing she just told Tommy
15:46 like you keep effing with my friend
15:48 wow you breaking down
15:50 mad knowledge and wisdom and understanding
15:52 you used to be like a 5 percenter
15:54 yeah
15:56 come on knock it off
15:58 I'm just saying that was crazy deep
16:00 you just peeling back the layers like an onion
16:02 yo no other video blog
16:04 has the depth that you got
16:06 you just on another level
16:08 oh that is true everybody just wants to watch TV
16:10 y'all just need to be listening to this
16:12 we bring it to you a whole another level
16:14 you ain't hearing no place else show.com
16:16 power
16:18 alright
16:20 the free ghost campaign
16:22 has worked and ghost has walked
16:24 free wow
16:26 well that was a way to
16:28 kind of wrap it all up
16:30 you know what 5 episodes of
16:32 you know
16:34 the trial or whatever I think that was enough
16:36 I think so too
16:38 you can't drag it out for 8 episodes
16:40 of Jamie in jail I mean you want to see ghost
16:42 back out there on the streets right right right
16:44 even if he was just getting a latte
16:46 or something like that right right right
16:48 I like how she just buttoned that up
16:50 you know she just
16:52 tied that nice together
16:54 go ahead Courtney
16:56 I'll be honest if it was
16:58 hold on black girl magic
17:00 yeah Courtney
17:02 if this was Empire they would have wrapped it up in maybe one episode
17:04 you know something silly
17:06 yeah you know like
17:08 but this is really really entertaining
17:10 the entire time
17:12 it's just really interesting he just killed somebody
17:14 and he really should go to jail
17:16 you know you're sad I mean you're not innocent
17:18 you know and even the judge alluded to the fact
17:20 that if you ever
17:22 if you have ever committed a crime
17:24 you know in the past or whatever
17:26 you know hopefully you'll be brought
17:28 to justice with a prosecution team that's
17:30 on par right but um
17:32 that was what a way to
17:34 wrap it all up
17:36 you saw Tasha's face during the trial she's looking like
17:38 I don't know if you like that bitch but
17:40 she don't get my man
17:42 off but she's still a bitch
17:44 I want to kill her
17:46 she tried to get back in his bed
17:48 I don't know so what's going to happen
17:50 now Courtney, Courtney where we going
17:52 because we've been on this ride for a while
17:54 now and I need to know what's going to happen
17:56 but remember we got three
17:58 more episodes I know you know she's going
18:00 to bring it on a whole she brought the bigger whole
18:02 level alright so we're going to do
18:04 extra credit after this
18:06 no we still got more time
18:08 okay but at the end of this we're going to do extra credit
18:10 we got to talk about what's going to happen with this yeah we can do that
18:12 alright let's go
18:14 alright
18:16 one thing I want to
18:18 note is
18:20 the addition of G unit
18:22 at the end of the
18:24 episode like
18:26 you know they haven't really used
18:28 any G unit music since
18:30 the beginning
18:32 we got to turn that down because you know we can't be putting that up
18:34 on YouTube you got to turn that down
18:36 turn that down that G unit
18:38 alright so
18:40 we just learned that Jukebox
18:42 is back and she's ready
18:44 but where she been all this time she wasn't going
18:46 well she wasn't going but
18:48 well she was going because basically
18:50 Dre was paying her twenty
18:52 thousand dollars a week
18:54 and you know
18:56 to lay off Tyree
18:58 because she just cut off the payment
19:00 first of all let's start back from there
19:02 so Dre he tells Kandin
19:04 it's your last payment
19:06 you know this is Kandin you're dealing with
19:08 I don't know what Dre was thinking
19:10 about like this whole
19:12 well you know when you feel like you got something else to offer
19:14 then you can tell that to him
19:16 alright so Dre is sneaky
19:18 so do you think that Dre
19:20 well let's not even go into that
19:22 we'll save that for extra
19:24 extra credit
19:26 yeah okay so Dre speaks to
19:28 Kandin and tells him it's his last payment
19:30 and he offered him
19:32 an opportunity to get back in business
19:34 right
19:36 and then what's interesting is Julio
19:38 notices that Kandin
19:40 is alive
19:42 right but Julio doesn't know who Kandin is
19:44 he should
19:46 why Julio is not from back in the day
19:48 oh okay that's true
19:50 yeah he just looked at him like who this cat he talking to
19:52 he know he doesn't trust Dre
19:54 he's like yo who this cat he talking to
19:56 right right you're right Julio doesn't
19:58 know who Kandin is
20:00 okay
20:02 Natasha and Terry
20:04 sitting in a tree
20:06 TNT I'm just saying
20:08 he corny
20:10 don't even go out like that
20:12 you know he gonna take his shirt off
20:14 within these three episodes
20:16 he skinny and I don't wanna see his boobs
20:18 he gonna be smashing Tasha
20:20 I don't wanna see his little sticky chicken jets
20:22 come on Sean's already tapped Tasha
20:24 why you gotta be all like that though
20:26 I'm just saying don't think that Tasha's
20:28 all like you know goody goody
20:30 I know I just don't see her really getting down with him
20:32 I don't know
20:34 you know it would be funny if they
20:36 did make a relationship out of that because
20:38 she likes the drug
20:40 business that's her thing
20:42 so for her to switch up in the middle
20:44 would just be weird
20:46 so that would be weird in itself
20:48 okay let's go back down to that
20:50 and now we see Tommy you know
20:52 he's not messing with Laquisha so much anymore
20:54 right he got called to Chicago
20:56 so that's real quick but right before that
20:58 we gotta talk about Ghost being released
21:00 that's the biggest tease
21:02 we did talk about that didn't we
21:04 I think we did yeah we did
21:06 the ghost was released because
21:08 the evidence showed that they were
21:10 inappropriate
21:12 behavior oh yeah we did okay
21:14 alright and it was interesting how
21:16 what we didn't talk about was Mike
21:18 and Angela riding down in the
21:20 elevator together
21:22 and I'm sure that was uncomfortable
21:24 what was uncomfortable was all the other agents
21:26 looking at her and she was coming down the hallway
21:28 like stitches get stitches
21:30 well it's not just stitches get stitches but it's like
21:32 you slept with the
21:34 guy that died you slept with
21:36 the guy who we think killed him
21:38 I know I know you destroyed your career
21:40 because what most people don't remember
21:42 is Angela said
21:44 to Ghost maybe around
21:46 season 2 was that
21:48 her whole family depends
21:50 on her salary
21:52 yeah and actually
21:54 Hot Pie made a statement to her
21:56 before she made the call
21:58 don't mess this up
22:00 yeah she was like listen don't do anything that's going to hurt your family
22:02 and yourself
22:04 but she just went out on a limb
22:06 so Angela out there in the streets like Proctor
22:08 they about to form a coalition
22:10 yeah
22:12 the fire agent
22:14 the fire attorney association
22:16 the FAS
22:18 that's crazy though but um
22:20 oh and then the last thing was
22:22 um
22:24 she collected it giving Ghost
22:26 the phone telling him to give it
22:28 to Tommy yeah I think Ghost realizes
22:30 that's Tommy's daddy
22:32 well he said do you know Tommy's father
22:34 but he was looking at him like yo
22:36 cause you know he's smart he ain't gonna just be like yo you know
22:38 so yeah that's
22:40 popping off y'all so anyway
22:42 that was episode what?
22:44 episode 5 we getting in
