00:30Previously on Ghost.
00:31The dirty cop beat up Diana.
00:32She lost our baby.
00:33Well, I'm supposed to just snort a few lines and get the fuck over it like you always do,
00:34right?
00:35Do you think L's still mad?
00:36What are you doing?
00:37Yeah, I'll two niggas fire.
00:38Wow, is this a help?
00:39It was a group decision.
00:40War bureaucrats don't exactly advertise.
00:41It's going to take me some time to find a new one.
00:42Time I don't have.
00:43You need citizenship to make you legit, so marry me.
00:44I don't know what you're talking about.
00:45I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47I don't know what you're talking about.
00:48I don't know what you're talking about.
00:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:50Let's just calm down and talk about it.
00:51War bureaucrats don't exactly advertise.
00:52It's going to take me some time to find a new one.
00:53Time I don't have.
00:54You need citizenship to make you legit, so marry me.
00:55You need citizenship to make you legit, so marry me.
00:56Please don't act like you care about me.
00:57You know I fucking care about you.
00:58Hey.
00:59What the fuck?
01:00How we killing this bitch?
01:01Killing a cop ain't the way out.
01:02Let me handle my people my way.
01:03I know what you're dealing with, but you can't kill a cop.
01:04You're right.
01:05That bitch is mine.
01:06Let's just calm down and talk about it.
01:07I don't know what you're talking about.
01:08I don't know what you're talking about.
01:09I handle my people my way.
01:10I know what you're dealing with, but she can't kill a cop.
01:13You're right.
01:13That bitch is mine.
01:16Let's just calm down and talk about it.
01:18Ah!
01:19Oh!
01:20Ah!
01:22Do you like bedtime stories?
01:23Yeah.
01:24This is so fucked up.
01:26You've got to get the fuck out of here now.
01:29Hands up.
01:30You give me the leverage I need to go against Noma,
01:34and maybe I change this murder to a fucking accident.
01:37Welcome to the fucking team, Tariq.
01:43They say this is a big, rich town.
01:48I just come from the poorest part.
01:52Bright lights, city life, I got to make it.
01:54This is where it goes down.
01:58I just happen to come apart.
02:02Legal or illegal, baby, I got to make it.
02:04I never took a straight path nowhere.
02:07Life's full of twists and turns, bumps and bruises.
02:09I live, I learn.
02:10I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers.
02:13It's hard to get a start in these parts without paper.
02:15Homie, I grew up in hell, a block away from heaven.
02:18That corner ain't 15 minutes, it move at seven.
02:21Pure snow, bag it, then watch it go.
02:23Occupational options, get some blow on some hoes.
02:26Shoot the roll of the strap, learn the rap of the jack.
02:28Fuck it, man, in the meantime, go ahead and bump a pack.
02:31This my regal royal flow, my James Bond bounce.
02:34That 007, that 62 on my count.
02:36I'm an undercover liar, I lie under the covers.
02:39Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her, baby, I love it.
02:41You're my inspiration, you're my motivation.
02:44You're the reason that I'm moving with no hesitation.
02:46This is a big, rich town.
02:49Yeah.
02:51I just come from the poorest part.
02:55Bright lights, city life, I got to make it.
02:57This is where it goes down.
02:59Yeah.
03:01I just happen to come apart.
03:05Legal or illegal, baby, I got to make it.
03:23Detective Felicia Marie Lewis.
03:25She was tough.
03:27She was fearless.
03:29But most of all, she was one of our own.
03:32Felicia was family.
03:35Her tragic death will undoubtedly
03:37leave a hole in our hearts.
03:40We're never prepared for a fatal car crash.
03:44Paramedics on the scene said she died on impact.
03:47Maybe she didn't feel any pain.
03:50At least that's what I hope.
03:53Let's use this as a reminder to stick together and never
03:59take for granted the time we have left on this earth.
04:04The union is setting up a fund for her little boy, Cole.
04:09I know you all want to contribute.
04:15To Felicia.
04:16To Felicia.
04:18To Felicia.
04:29Yo.
04:33An accident.
04:35I know.
04:37What the fuck really happened?
04:42Nico, man, I know with what we do,
04:45it's natural to second guess everything.
04:49But this appears to be exactly what it says on the report.
04:54A fucking car accident, man.
05:00I know you two were close.
05:05So I'm here if you want to talk, all right?
05:24Speak to Detective Carter?
05:25Nah, in fact, we're looking for some more shit for us to do.
05:28We need to get rid of this motherfucker.
05:30I mean, wipe his ass off the face of the fucking earth.
05:33Any nigga put a gun in my head don't deserve to live.
05:35See, you think I don't know?
05:36I could face life in the fucking prison
05:37if this motherfucker decides to make me an accessory
05:39to this fucking cop's murder.
05:41Yeah, man.
05:43I still can't believe this shit, man.
05:45You know, baby girl ain't baby girl no more.
05:47This fucking shit is stressing her out.
05:48It's fucking with her head, you know?
05:49She got to move past regret.
05:50It's for civilians.
05:51Well, fuck all that. What we doing?
05:52We need to get on this nigga's ass ASAP.
05:54I mean, look, we got to give the nigga what the fuck he wants.
05:58Oh, man, that's going to make us weak.
06:00If we give him leverage on Noma's,
06:01what's going to stop that bitch from wanting to kill us?
06:03Wait, what about Drew?
06:04Hell no.
06:05He'll work with us, no?
06:06Drew called Carter to Felicia's house.
06:07Shh.
06:08He's up this motherfucker's ass like a fucking lapdog,
06:10working his own agenda.
06:11OK, so here's what we do.
06:14We tell Carter that we're working on the leverage
06:15piece with Noma.
06:16Meanwhile, we weaponize Noma, make
06:18it seem like everything's going to be blown up on her end,
06:20and make her take out Carter.
06:21Oh, this bitch again.
06:22We got to go back and beg fucking Noma for help.
06:24Listen, we got to kiss her ass and get
06:26this nigga off of our ass, all right?
06:29I mean, they're opposites.
06:30Who the fuck else is better than when
06:31you're going against the craziest, most psychotic,
06:33corrupt cop in the fucking city?
06:35Yeah, you're fucking right.
06:36You're right, guys.
06:37Shit.
06:41What is this place?
06:43This is Fourth Circle.
06:44Used to be Zion's spot.
06:47Dealers played around, no cops welcome.
06:49Why we can't use the main entrance?
06:52You're going to be overseeing the venue and the revenue
06:55like Zion did.
06:56But first, we got some people that want to welcome
07:00you to the organization.
07:11Gentlemen, this here is Drew Tejada.
07:15You got any questions before you come to me or Nico?
07:18This who you talk to.
07:20What's up?
07:26I was looking at the zone as you were.
07:28What happened to the whole Apex Ted talk?
07:30Vertical control reigning supreme.
07:33You know, that shit's going to be hard now
07:34that this motherfucker that thinks he's Denzel
07:36from training day is in the way.
07:37Carter is a cop, Rick, the head of a drug task force, OK?
07:41There's 1,000 ways this can go left,
07:43leaving us royally fucked.
07:44Sounds like you don't got my back, nigga.
07:46No, I just don't want a preemptive strike
07:48or to start a war with motherfuckers
07:50that we can't win against.
07:51You know what a task force is.
07:52Gang, thugs with badges.
07:54Remember that whole Tyree nickel shit?
07:56They'll let those motherfuckers get away with 100 murders
07:58before they stop them.
07:59Yeah, and eventually, they're going
08:00to kill our fucking asses.
08:01So that means we've got to take them out before they kill us.
08:03Simple as that.
08:04Yeah, no, no, simple as that.
08:06No, Rick, be clear the fuck up, bro.
08:09This motherfucker has hella shit on me.
08:11I have nothing on him.
08:13And now that he thinks I work for him,
08:15backing down is not an option.
08:17Where are you going anyway?
08:18You packing your shit up?
08:19I'm packing my shit up.
08:20Where are you going anyway?
08:21You packing your shit up?
08:24I'm moving out, finally.
08:25OK.
08:26I'm going to see if Ellen wants to move in with me.
08:28Wait, why?
08:29What do you mean why?
08:30Because she's my girl, and I love her.
08:31That's why.
08:34What the fuck is so funny?
08:35You're really fucking losing it, huh?
08:37Do you hear yourself?
08:38Yeah.
08:38You love her?
08:39You don't even know this girl.
08:41And didn't the band just fucking walk out on us?
08:43In fact, I do know her, and I'll get the band back.
08:45In the meantime, I got all the Ivys
08:48and the knockoff course crack business from Effie.
08:51What the fuck are you doing?
08:52Kyle, how did you do that?
08:54For once, I would just love for you to say thank you, Brayden.
08:57You're killing it, Brayden.
08:59Good job, Brayden.
09:00You do a lot of things without thinking it through, all right?
09:02And you've been doing it a lot lately, so I'm just wondering.
09:04That's it.
09:05Yeah, that's fine.
09:06Well, I'm moving fast and smart, and shit's working.
09:09I know what the fuck I'm doing, Reek, OK?
09:19Detective Carter knows who you are, and he's after you.
09:21Basically, how this motherfucker operates,
09:23he doesn't like people doing business
09:24without being under his thumb.
09:25So that's an issue for you.
09:27I can solve it.
09:28I can get rid of him.
09:29And what's in it for you, Tariq's scam, Patrick?
09:31You know your ass always got a mangle.
09:33You're always asking the wrong shit, King.
09:34There's something in it for all of us, all right?
09:36I mean, which one of us in this room
09:37really need this NYPD ass nigga disrupting our shit?
09:41What hard evidence does this cop have on me?
09:44I don't know.
09:44I don't know.
09:45I don't know.
09:46I don't know.
09:47What does this cop have on me?
09:48Does he have a witness, surveillance, what?
09:50Yeah, playboy.
09:51And how exactly are we supposed to do this?
09:52Because killing the cop ain't easy.
09:54I mean, I don't think we have a choice.
09:56Bro, the nigga's corrupt, all right?
09:57He can create fake evidence against us.
09:59He can create cases on us.
10:00He can do whatever the fuck he wants, basically.
10:03I mean, is that a chance I want to take?
10:05Well, you didn't answer my question.
10:07What does he know about my organizations?
10:09Be specific.
10:10Look, fuck all this back and forth bullshit.
10:12Now, we're giving you top shelf information.
10:15We can map out a plan now and get back
10:16to the details later.
10:18Now, you in or not?
10:20Yeah, basically what we're saying
10:21is that it's only a matter of time
10:23before this nigga starts lowering the hammer on you.
10:25I'm not interested in going to war with the NYP fucking D.
10:29Fuck it, I'm out of here.
10:30I told you this was going to be some bullshit.
10:32And your ass is so fucking pussy when you just don't
10:34let this bitch get you killed.
10:35Oh, now that's not language I'd expect from my mom.
10:40Mom, bitch, what the fuck you say?
10:42What, didn't Cain tell you?
10:44Oh, we're going to be family now.
10:46Cain's my business partner and Beyonce.
10:52Damn, mom, you're hearing right.
10:54Norma and I are getting married.
10:56Wedding, pastor, the whole works.
10:58Your invitation's in the mail, though.
11:00Cain, this fucking bitch has got you going crazy.
11:02The fuck is this?
11:04Love, of course.
11:05Bullshit.
11:06Word.
11:07Good luck with your fucking stupid ass love.
11:10Ta-da.
11:11Well, you two now are on Detective Carter's radar.
11:15This little love bullshit you got going on
11:17is just a double shot for us, man.
11:27Listen, we got leverage.
11:30We both know Detective Carter's dirty.
11:32No, that's not close enough.
11:34Find out what Carter really knows about me
11:36and how the fuck he got my name.
11:45There's something wrong with Elle.
11:47What? What the fuck happened?
11:48She was doing coke, and then she said
11:49she wasn't feeling so hot.
11:50And the next thing you know, she just fucking passed out.
11:52Look, there are drugs all over this fucking room.
11:53Who gave her the coke? Shut the fuck up.
11:55How do you know?
11:56Because she has sickles down.
11:57Call 911.
11:58I didn't want to do that.
11:59Fucking call.
12:05All right, FYI, I'm charging extra for this house call.
12:10I have all the documents you requested.
12:15Living will and bank statements, tax filings,
12:19prenup agreement.
12:20So are you going on a run or getting married?
12:26The second one.
12:27I was talking to the lady, my guy.
12:29Yeah, it's true.
12:30Kane and I are getting married, and everything
12:32needs to be airtight so it holds up against government
12:35scrutiny, ICE, and the like.
12:37Wow, marrying a drug dealer.
12:39Sounds like something you might have
12:41wanted to run by your extremely smart lawyer first.
12:44Given Wiley Adams' untimely demise, this had to be done.
12:48There was no need to consult me.
12:50Yeah, so it seems like your work here is done.
12:53Fake ass Johnny Cox, I think.
12:54I got your text.
12:55What's up?
12:57Hey, whatever freak shit y'all got going on,
12:59I'm not into that.
13:01I second that emotion.
13:02Sit.
13:06We need your computer expertise.
13:08I'm marrying Kane.
13:12He did a decent job, didn't he?
13:15This ring weighs an absolute ton.
13:18She's fucking with you.
13:19It's marriage for hire, strictly business.
13:22Well, it's more like business with benefits, right love?
13:25Anyway, our nuptials need to appear rock solid,
13:28so any dalliance between you two is now over.
13:30Oh yeah, you got it.
13:32That's done.
13:35Can I go now?
13:36No, sweetie.
13:37Kane's a caveman.
13:39He has no social media footprint.
13:41I need you to create one for him so he
13:43looks legitimate as my husband.
13:45I'm thinking a LinkedIn page, an employee
13:48profile at my company, maybe a college profile actually,
13:53and some happy couple photos on IG, you know,
13:56that sort of thing.
13:57Kane with a college profile.
14:00Make sure that shit is community college.
14:02Fuck you.
14:03Fuck you back.
14:04This needs to look real.
14:06You can do this, yes?
14:07I can do my best, but I'm not a wizard.
14:10Somebody looks hard enough, they can
14:11find what they're looking for.
14:12Well, that sounds like a personal problem.
14:14You're on payroll, so it'll be your job
14:16to cover your tracks then.
14:18Let's get this show on the road, shall we?
14:25Look, F.
14:25It's business.
14:26I got it.
14:27There's nothing to talk about.
14:29Come on, honey.
14:30What's the point of pillow talk if you're not going to talk?
14:34Well, he came up with a solution.
14:36Yeah.
14:37I, uh, I make him the American face of my subsidiary
14:43so that I can get the US contracts pronto,
14:45and then the marriage and the prenup
14:47protect my assets till I become a citizen.
14:49I mean, that's the plan.
14:52Well, you probably would have come up with it yourself
14:55if you weren't in the midst of your own divorce.
14:57Well, thank you for reminding me, OK?
14:59I thought that, uh, we had an understanding
15:02as growing business partners.
15:04Partners?
15:04Yes.
15:05I understand your practice is underwater,
15:08and you see me as a meal ticket.
15:10But don't be silly, Davis.
15:11Like my tongue game?
15:13I wouldn't underestimate my comeback game.
15:15Despite your tongue game, our relationship
15:18has limitations, love.
15:20Besides, you know I'm more of a one-woman show.
15:33Why the fuck are they trying to hurry up and get married?
15:35This shit is stupid, man.
15:36Yeah, I'm just as shocked as you are.
15:40But why do you need to know the why?
15:42To take down Carter.
15:43Tried to get Noma to do it, but she ain't bite.
15:45So we got to give all the leverage
15:46that we got on Noma to Carter.
15:48Get him off our backs so we can figure out our next move.
15:50That's where you come in.
15:51Noma's my client.
15:53Nigga, you trying to protect this bitch when I
15:54gave you the inside drop on her?
15:57The fuck?
15:58The allegiance is with me.
16:00OK, and did this bitch even consult
16:01to you about marrying Kane?
16:03She's not in it for you.
16:03She's in it for herself.
16:04Little nigga, you need to calm the fuck down.
16:08Any pertinent information I give you
16:09means I'm compromising all business
16:11dealings with Noma if she were ever to find out I told you.
16:15I mean, you all preach about allegiance.
16:18Well, Mr. Rainmaker is going to need some in return.
16:21Sure, if you want to end up like Obi.
16:23That's what allegiance with Noma gets you,
16:24a nice to the fucking neck.
16:25You don't think I get it?
16:27She's a shifty bitch.
16:29I mean, you two aren't any better.
16:31With that being said, my allegiance is with you.
16:35Well, then tell us what the fuck is up,
16:37because you clearly know what this sneaky bitch is up to.
16:40Never forget who came through for you during clutch time,
16:43who always comes through for both your asses.
16:46Yes, of course.
16:47Right now, this is what matters to Noma, Aircraft Global.
16:51What the fuck is this?
16:53It's her front business.
16:54It washes her drug money.
16:56But she's under too much scrutiny in Europe.
16:58So in order to secure a contract to sell her jet engine
17:01parts to the US government, Aircraft Global
17:03must be owned by an American salesman.
17:05And I don't care who that salesman is.
17:07I don't care who that salesman is.
17:09I don't care who that salesman is.
17:10I don't care who that salesman is.
17:12I don't care who that salesman is.
17:13I don't care who that salesman is.
17:15Aircraft Global must be owned by an American citizen.
17:18Kane.
17:19Exactly.
17:20The marriage will allow Noma to become naturalized.
17:22The prenup will protect her assets
17:23until she can reclaim her company.
17:25So basically, Kane is just a straw man.
17:27Essentially.
17:28And a dumbass.
17:30Yeah.
17:31After Wiley Adams was murdered by Zion's crew,
17:33I had to find her a new government contact to bribe.
17:36That person is Sterling Reynolds,
17:38muckety-muck in the State Commerce Department.
17:41Float that name by Carter.
17:43You have all the leverage he needs.
17:45All right, man.
17:46Man.
17:47Godspeed, Davis.
17:48Appreciate you.
17:50As always.
17:56Oh!
17:57Oh!
17:58Oh!
17:59Oh!
18:00Oh!
18:01Oh!
18:02Oh!
18:03Oh!
18:04Oh!
18:05Oh!
18:06Oh!
18:07Oh!
18:08Oh!
18:09Oh!
18:10Oh!
18:11Oh!
18:13Oh!
18:14Oh!
18:15How'd you find me here, man?
18:16Come on, baby.
18:17I've been here.
18:18You're the one that's brand new and shit.
18:20I'm hearing you the man around here.
18:23I'm just hoping you're not getting
18:24too caught up Carter's ass.
18:27Nigga, what do you want?
18:28Your flip-flopping ass was a soldier for Noma.
18:30I just want to make sure Betty Crocker ain't giving away
18:32all the fucking recipes.
18:33All right, so you're trying to get punched the fuck out of me.
18:35Only if you promise not to hit like a bitch.
18:38Noma don't mean shit to Carter.
18:40He can take out whomever he wants
18:43at whatever time he wants.
18:45So you've been drinking the Kool-Aid.
18:47Better than drinking Noma's stank-ass bathwater.
18:49I mean, nigga, really?
18:50Working for Noma?
18:51Working with a dirty-ass cop?
18:53Come on, bro.
18:55You're doing anything to try to compete with me.
18:56When will you realize you're never going to be me?
19:01Good luck, man.
19:02Let's see how long this works out for you.
19:03Let's see how long Marion Boss works out for you.
19:06Monet told me that Noma's marrying to help.
19:10You're a step above a poor boy.
19:12Don't give a fuck about you.
19:13You're another fall guy for her.
19:16You can't see that.
19:19No.
19:21No, you can't.
19:23Oh, my bad.
19:26Come back and have a drink with your brother sometime.
19:31Oh, my god.
19:32So you're marrying a Kool-Aid?
19:34Oh, my god.
19:34So you're marrying a thug half your age?
19:37How lovely.
19:39When's the wedding?
19:40Soon.
19:41But like I told you, dear, it's not for love.
19:43It's for business purposes.
19:44You fled Europe and my father was shot in the head.
19:46Still not clear on why.
19:48You don't want me hanging around Tariq St.
19:50Patrick, whose father was a drug kingpin,
19:52and now you're marrying Kane for business.
19:55Did you know when you hired him for your company
19:58that he had an arrest record for battery and theft?
20:01You can't judge people by their past, Anya.
20:03Are you kidding?
20:04That's literally what we've done our entire lives.
20:06Well, on paper, Kane may not look like much,
20:09but he has a very sharp mind.
20:11Oh, wow.
20:12Mom, the D must be really good.
20:13Excuse me?
20:14Look, I want to know the truth.
20:16I am tired of being spoon-fed crap, OK?
20:20Are the police after you?
20:23First of all, I don't want you to worry, OK?
20:26No one's after me.
20:27How do you make your money, Mom?
20:28Really?
20:29Anya, you don't want to hear about a bunch of complicated,
20:32boring corporate deals?
20:33Yes, I do, Mom.
20:34Like, my brain can handle it.
20:48OK, then.
20:50I'm betraying your father by telling you this,
20:52but you've given me no choice, and I imagine it's time.
20:59Your dad was a drug trafficker, Anya.
21:02Yeah.
21:04I didn't know that's what he was into when I met him.
21:08He never wanted you to know because he wanted to protect
21:11you from a very dangerous life, which
21:13is why you've always lived in estates
21:15while we were in Europe.
21:17But this is why I had to leave him.
21:23Dad was a criminal.
21:24Sweetheart, I hated what he was doing,
21:31the lives he was ruining peddling drugs.
21:34And that's why I made it my business to be legit.
21:39OK?
21:41My connection to him may be why there
21:43might be some law enforcement interest in me,
21:46but you don't have to worry, OK?
21:50Sweetheart, don't worry.
21:55Oh, when did it go?
22:03Hey.
22:05I'm her boyfriend, Brayden.
22:07Look, I know I'm not immediate family, but it is.
22:09I don't care about that.
22:10I just want to make sure that you
22:11haven't taken what she's taken.
22:12Her lab results came back and indicate that the cocaine
22:14that she ingested was lacewood fentanyl, which then
22:17sent her into cardiac arrest.
22:19Do you know where she got the drugs?
22:21No.
22:24Is she going to live?
22:26Prognosis is uncertain as of yet,
22:27but I'll tell you one thing.
22:28If she was left alone, she'd be dead.
22:34No problem.
22:55Fuck.
22:59Those fucking cocksucker.
23:12Wait.
23:13What the fuck happened?
23:15OD.
23:18I don't know if she's going to make it.
23:22It's all good, bro.
23:23She'll be fine.
23:24She'll put through.
23:29That bitch is using you, boy.
23:31She is playing you for a damn fool.
23:33A sham marriage so that crooked bitch
23:34ain't going to put you on top?
23:36Ma, whatever it is you think you know, it doesn't matter.
23:38All right?
23:39I'm with Noma now.
23:39She's going to be my wife.
23:41So you're just going to betray your mother for that bitch?
23:43Don't talk to me about betrayal.
23:44Detective Carter?
23:46Yeah.
23:47I knew he had a tie to working with him as a CI.
23:49And it was you.
23:50You really feeding this nigga information?
23:51You really snitching to Carter?
23:52Nah, Cain, that's not what it is.
23:54We didn't have a choice.
23:55Carter's making us work for him.
23:57And it ain't snitching if the motherfucker's a criminal too.
24:00Plus, he sicked that fucking Felicia bitch on Diana
24:02who beat the baby out of her.
24:04Now, you good with all of that?
24:05Ma, miss me with all this family first shit, all right?
24:09You started this.
24:10You put Noma against Carter.
24:11You can go and damn near fuck around
24:12and get me and Drew killed in the middle of all this shit.
24:14Look, Cain, I'm trying to protect you both.
24:16You're just looking out for yourself as usual.
24:18I know what's best.
24:20Can't you see that's the end game?
24:22I'm trying to free y'all from all
24:23these outside motherfuckers.
24:29OK, here's what I'm going to do.
24:33You're going to put on a smile.
24:35You're going to go out there and get
24:36one of those ugly ass mother of the groom dresses,
24:38and I'm going to marry Noma.
24:39And I won't tell her that you're the one that raided her warehouse.
24:41I didn't fucking raid her.
24:42Stop fucking lying, all right?
24:43You think you're on the outside looking in,
24:44but Noma finds this out, you'll be stuck with Carter
24:46for the rest of your short life.
24:47Short?
24:48Yeah, or applying to be a fucking greeter at work.
24:49What you never mean, motherfucker.
24:51Yeah, whatever.
24:51Pussy-whipped ass.
24:57Busy?
24:58Nah, my mom's was just leaving.
25:00Nigga, I thought you was getting married.
25:02Make sure you check on your sister.
25:04Yeah, all right.
25:05Don't forget to get that application.
25:22Go.
25:33He's an orphan.
25:34I changed that little boy's life forever.
25:36Look, D, I understand feeling bad for the kid,
25:38but his mother was a killer.
25:42She was into some filthy shit that
25:43will always come back on you.
25:46Look, you had no choice, all right?
25:50But I did.
25:52I didn't have to go to her house
25:53and trick Nott with her kid upstairs.
25:55But you didn't know, D. Listen, she took something special
26:02from you, from us, OK?
26:04It was either you or her.
26:07You didn't do shit wrong.
26:10I shouldn't have to deal with this shit.
26:12I just want a normal life with a regular family
26:15so I could just, I don't know, do me.
26:19Sounds good, D, but we've got to be realistic.
26:23That shit is damn near impossible for us.
26:31Well, at one point, it was possible.
26:34And I don't know, maybe, maybe it can happen again.
26:43You think so?
26:44The only thing I want to hear.
26:48Yeah, yeah.
26:49Only you know how to love on me.
26:51Mm-hmm.
26:52Yeah, yeah.
26:53Feed my body that good energy.
26:55Got me singing like a symphony.
26:58Don't stop.
27:00Don't stop loving.
27:01Let me love on you, love on you.
27:03Let me love on you.
27:07Tariq, we don't need those.
27:09What do you mean, we don't need this?
27:11Is me getting pregnant again the worst thing
27:13that could happen?
27:20All right.
27:22D, come the fuck on.
27:23How do you not understand?
27:25Forget it, Tariq.
27:33You know, I'm thinking, if we're going to be
27:36one big old happy family, surely she
27:39gets to know the man who's marrying my mom.
27:42Don't you think?
27:46So who are you?
27:49Who pays for this amazing penthouse?
27:53I do.
27:54On a bar salary?
27:55I mean, that is what you do for work, right?
27:58Tips must be great.
28:00Man, make great investments.
28:02Oh.
28:03Where did you learn how to do that?
28:05From your dad, who was in prison most of your life
28:07for dealing drugs?
28:09Is that what you and my mom have in common?
28:12I don't know.
28:14You tell me, since you seem to know everything.
28:16I mean, well, your whole T'Challa clan, right?
28:20Not to sound offensive or anything,
28:21but you guys are like the Gaddys of the ghetto, no?
28:28Yo, we're entrepreneurs.
28:31Does my mom sell drugs?
28:34Your mom is a badass businesswoman.
28:36Something your little ass is striving to be more like,
28:38instead of prying into grown folks' business.
28:40Oh, those.
28:42But here, take this.
28:44Go shopping, or brunch, or make a TikTok or some shit.
28:54I won't be calling you daddy.
29:01We're here to bring you a gift.
29:03After that, we would like to be left the fuck alone.
29:06Oh, God, I just feel like I sound
29:07like a broken fucking record.
29:09You're not in charge, Red.
29:11Drew, I don't know how you fucking
29:12dealt with this as a child.
29:14What's the fucking gift?
29:16Sterling Reynolds.
29:17It's who Noma needs to bribe in order to get her government
29:20contract under control.
29:21Set her up using your high-tech toys, and you got her.
29:24Government contract.
29:27So this Noma, she's playing the majors, yeah?
29:29Which means you'll have plenty on your hands trying
29:31to keep that bitch under control.
29:32So that's what you worry about, my work-life balance, Monet?
29:35Well, I don't give a fuck.
29:36Monet's right.
29:37God don't know.
29:39You don't need us.
29:41The fuck out of here.
29:43Not going to happen.
29:44You stay ready.
29:45I'll let you know what's next.
29:46Let's go, Drew.
29:48Drew.
29:49Drew!
29:52Why are you doing this?
29:54Why are you acting like this?
29:55Ma, don't make it personal.
29:57Look, Drew, this is not what you want.
29:58This is not who you are.
30:00Answering to a fucking cop, I mean,
30:03reporting to him like he's your fucking boss or some shit.
30:05What are you doing?
30:07I make my own choices, Monet.
30:10You and Kane do not get to decide who I'm going to be.
30:13And I had to call Carter and loop him in,
30:16because if I didn't, his fucking task force would have hunted
30:18us down and killed us.
30:20I didn't betray this family, OK?
30:23I saved this fucking family, and you're fucking welcome.
30:25What about quitting the business?
30:27You are.
30:28Maybe it wasn't about the business.
30:31Maybe it was just doing business with family.
30:34Chill the fuck out.
30:37Who the fuck is he to you?
30:39Your father's substitute?
30:41Are you fucking serious?
30:42I shouldn't need a fucking substitute.
30:45Look, I am being trusted to handle some king-size shit
30:49right now, and I like it.
30:51So that's what it means to me.
30:53Look, you remember, it's still my blood
30:54that runs through your veins.
30:56You are a T'Challa, no matter what.
31:01I'm sorry.
31:08What?
31:12I know you said we didn't need to talk, but I'm here anyways.
31:15All right?
31:16I'm trying to secure my future the same way
31:18you're doing with yours.
31:19We had this argument before, and you said that already.
31:22Oh, wow.
31:23So not only do you do robot shit,
31:24but you're an actual robot.
31:26That's crazy.
31:29I'm working on Noma's assignment, and I have to get back to it, so.
31:32Congrats, by the way. Let me know where you register.
31:56Yo.
31:57Gloves down, man.
31:59What the fuck you mean, gloves down, man?
32:01Building got bought today.
32:04By who?
32:06Some very rich motherfucker who didn't want to be identified.
32:09Nigga, what the fuck are you talking about?
32:11Oh, I forgot.
32:13Somebody left you this.
32:30That's that old school love.
32:34Come on, yeah.
32:35That old school love.
32:38Hey, one time.
32:54Yo, Rick. I need you.
32:56What's up, Mr. Bardell?
32:57Yeah.
32:58I used your phone to re-up with the dirtbag who sold you the tainted shit.
33:02You down to pay him a visit tonight?
33:04Shit, what you got in mind?
33:06I just want to scare the motherfucker.
33:08I bet.
33:18I can't even afford to play games.
33:21Let's play, motherfucker.
33:27Let's play.
33:50This nigga.
33:58New owner's jacking up the rent like it's fifth half.
34:02So we might need to find a new spot.
34:04No sweat.
34:06I've already identified another building we can use.
34:09Good soldier never waits.
34:15So, Noma.
34:17I'm hearing she's making more moves.
34:20I already got a plan for her.
34:22I think maybe we should hit harder.
34:24She's providing guns for the Italians in the Lower East now.
34:27You certain about this?
34:28Absolutely.
34:30She's taking over the city held by her.
34:31There couldn't be more violence.
34:35So how is this information useful if I can't strike?
34:42She's got a gun shipment coming in tonight.
34:48My guy's gonna face him with a gun.
34:51My guy's gonna face him in resistance?
34:53Nothing y'all can handle.
34:58So natural evil versus moral evil.
35:02Okay?
35:03An earthquake versus murder.
35:06Now, in his writings, Nietzsche argues against the concept of evil altogether.
35:12Does that describe a moral reality?
35:16Well, Nietzsche said the wisest man would be able to categorize people by more than just good and evil.
35:20For me, having grown up in a religious household, the word gets thrown around too much.
35:25Think of how we use it to sell wars.
35:27The axis of evil.
35:29Or to excuse the mistreatment of others.
35:32Evildoers.
35:33So you agree with the notion that it's only used to demonize one's enemies?
35:37Most cases, yes.
35:39Um, Tariq?
35:41I think evil is real.
35:43I don't trust anyone that believes that there isn't any evil.
35:46They're probably evil themselves.
35:48Now to the opposing argument explored in the atrocity paradigm.
35:53Uh, Diana?
35:55No phone zone?
35:57Oh, sorry.
35:58Tell me what you thought about Card's argument.
36:04Um, sorry, what?
36:06It was the paper that I assigned you to read.
36:09It was the paper that I assigned you to read?
36:14Argue about why evil exists.
36:16Oh, right. Um.
36:19I think believing in the concept of evil just means acknowledging when someone has been treated unjustly.
36:26That's what makes all of us human.
36:35Hey.
36:36Thanks for having my back in there.
36:38Oh, yeah. No problem.
36:39But you know, if S.M. and T. don't play, he'll fail you.
36:43Oh, I heard about Elle. How's she doing?
36:46Touch and go.
36:47I'm still messed up about it, though, you know?
36:49I'm not a monster.
36:50I ain't trying to kill nobody.
36:51Girl, I know that.
36:52But look, um.
36:55I don't have anybody else to talk to, so can I ask you something?
36:58And this time, girl, please don't say nothing.
37:01Okay. I promise.
37:03What's up?
37:04You pregnant again?
37:06But sometimes I feel like I want to be.
37:10I mean, that's normal after a miscarriage.
37:12Okay, well, is it normal for how when me and Tariq were kissing or whatever, I tried to stop her from using the condom?
37:17Girl, yeah. A lot of girls do that.
37:19They start trying right away for a replacement baby.
37:22Damn, I didn't know that.
37:24Well, actually, my mom got pregnant real quick after she gave up Zeke, so.
37:29So now you know how she felt.
37:31I mean, look.
37:33It's not like being a young mother wouldn't be the hardest job of your life.
37:37I mean, I got cousins who had babies as teenagers, and they can't go nowhere.
37:41Can't have any dreams.
37:42Their lives just stopped.
37:44I'd say if you want the most for your life, just forget about Tariq and forget about any fairytale life that you had in your head and just focus on being a good student.
37:53Yeah.
37:57I'll see you.
37:58Thanks.
38:01Bye.
38:10What the fuck are you doing here?
38:12Come on, it's a fancy school. Is that how they teach you to talk to your mother?
38:15Oh, that's what you're calling yourself?
38:16Josie, come on.
38:17Don't call me that. That's not my name.
38:19Give me a break. That's what I named you.
38:23Come on, you think I wanted to make a surprise visit here?
38:26You haven't been returning my calls.
38:32Richard left me for some young bimbo that works at the car company.
38:39And if I know you, you'd probably think I deserve it, but I'm really in a bad spot.
38:46I was hoping maybe you could float me some cash.
38:53The man that molested me left you.
38:56Sounds like a fucking you problem.
38:59For all my mistakes, you know, I could still be proud of my little girl.
39:05You come a long way, Josie.
39:09Sometimes it takes a lifetime to learn how to love.
39:16Look at you. I mean, you're making it big here at the Ivy League.
39:19Whose brains you think you got, huh? That's me inside your head.
39:24Doing things I never had a chance to do.
39:29The best thing you ever did was leave.
39:32I know that.
39:34And I'm really happy that you did.
39:42If you were on fire, I wouldn't piss on you to put you out.
39:46And if you were cold, I would never let you in.
39:49If I had every single dollar in the world, I wouldn't give you a motherfucking cent.
39:55Fuck you, Mom.
39:59There she is. Cold hearted, Josefina.
40:03You're a real bitch.
40:05How is anyone ever gonna love you?
40:08Huh?
40:14We only bought her some time. Carter's still running shit.
40:18Yep. We gotta take that nigga out.
40:20No one wanted to know Carter's plan to take her out.
40:23I think if we give her that, let her know that he was trying to set her up.
40:28I think we have that taken care of. She obviously had no choice but to...
40:31Fucking clap back at his ass.
40:33Exactly.
40:34It's some cold shit, but it's gotta be done.
40:37It's our best play. Start a war between them, give them the fuck off our backs.
40:42A hundred percent.
40:49I told you not to stop.
40:50Hands where I can fucking see them. Hands in the air. Let's go.
40:53Stay where the fuck you're at. We got a man going around the back. Let's go.
40:57Where the fuck you going?
40:58Gun down.
41:02What the fuck do we have here?
41:11Who's gonna tell Norma this shit?
41:17This motherfucker.
41:19It's your fucking fault.
41:20It's your fucking fault.
41:24I've been told you're the man to see when the mayor needs a favor.
41:29I've been told you're a woman who expects the same treatment.
41:34Good evening. Our feature tonight is a vintage Bordeaux from Pauillac.
41:40May I oblige?
41:41Absolutely.
41:42Please.
41:50I'd like the U.S. government as a client, but the red tape feels insurmountable.
41:56It's not, if you know how to navigate it.
41:58Is that where you come in?
42:01If we can agree on how I can help.
42:05Please, be direct with me. I can make whatever—
42:08Sorry I'm late. I hope I didn't miss the appetizers.
42:12No.
42:13Sterling.
42:14Davis.
42:15Thank you for taking this meeting, brother.
42:17Why is Davis in there?
42:18As you know—
42:19What the fuck is happening?
42:20Davis is my counselor.
42:22Yes, I never let my clients take a meeting alone.
42:25Sterling understands. He was a lawyer in a former life.
42:30Any starters for the table?
42:33Yes. Sterling, please. You go ahead.
42:37Fine.
42:39I'll get the fluke. Is that good?
42:42It's local.
42:43Then we're gonna go with the oysters.
42:46Oysters?
42:47I guess, yeah, I'll take you up on that.
42:52It's the family.
42:53Okay.
42:54The family.
42:56Ma'am, may I take your order next?
42:58No.
43:00It was a pleasure meeting you.
43:01I'm so sorry, but something's come up. Let's do this another time.
43:05Another time?
43:06Where the fuck is she going?
43:08What the fuck is happening?
43:17That was a close fucking call.
43:20How'd you know about this?
43:22I got wind of it. From a source close to the task force.
43:25Fuck!
43:28Tariq and Monet warned me about this, Carter.
43:30Rare occasion when those two are right.
43:32David's on. I could lose everything.
43:35No, no, no, no, no. Not so fast, Drag Queen, okay?
43:38Look, you still got me on your side, okay?
43:41The question is, what are you gonna do about Carter?
43:46I just missed getting arrested for a federal crime by a hair.
43:51It's obvious, isn't it?
43:53I have to neutralize the motherfucker.
43:59It's Davis. Shit worked like fucking clockwork.
44:02The cops have?
44:03Yeah. I'm just gonna take out Detective Carter so he can get his boot off our fucking necks.
44:09Miguel, are you high?
44:11I took a mini bump to take the edge off.
44:13Take the edge off? That shit don't take no edge off for you.
44:15The other day he was on the stage looking like Jonah Hill from fucking Wolf of Wall Street.
44:19Can you trust me for once? I'm good, Reek.
44:21Yeah, we'll see.
44:24Come on.
44:29Thanks for inviting us over. You must be Steve, you piece of shit.
44:31Who the fuck are you? Where the hell's Elle?
44:33Elle's in the hospital fighting for her life.
44:35That's what she said.
44:37You can't just go. This is my operation.
44:39You like lacing your shit, Steve?
44:41Wait, wait, wait. Are you guys undercover or some shit?
44:43Because if she had a bad reaction, Amy either did it.
44:46The snitch is alive.
44:48Then take it.
44:49What?
44:50Do a line.
44:51If your shit isn't laced, it shouldn't be a fucking problem.
44:54Fucking go. Do a line.
44:55Let's go.
44:56Come on.
44:58Let's go. Do another one.
44:59Do a fucking another one.
45:00Do it.
45:02You happy, you crazy fuck?
45:03No, I'm not happy.
45:04Do a fucking another one.
45:05All right, be all right, be all right. That's enough. You're fucking acting crazy. You're supposed to be scared.
45:08That's what the fuck I'm doing.
45:09Fucking kill him.
45:10What the fuck do I care?
45:11If it was your girl, you'd do the same.
45:13Let's fucking go. Do another one.
45:15Let's go. Do another one.
45:16What the fuck are you doing?
45:20Look at this shit, bro.
45:27B, what the fuck are you doing?
45:29Are you fucking crazy?
45:30Can you not think straight, bro? What the fuck?
45:32Help me get the fucking body.
45:33B, this is not supposed to work out like this.
45:35What? You're the only person that can get revenge, not me?
45:37It doesn't work like this, motherfucker. Look at you.
45:39What the fuck? This is messy. This is how we get caught.
45:42Let's go. Get a fucking rag.
45:45Fuck.
45:46Come on, come on, come on.
45:47Get out of here.
45:50Come the fuck on.
45:57Let's go.
45:58Let's go.
46:07You better not be made a fool.
46:08Come on, can you have some confidence in your man?
46:13There he is.
46:14Look, this is the guy.
46:15Monet and Tariq said it's Carter's right hand.
46:18He knows where the bodies are buried.
46:19And they said he's for sale.
46:21All you gotta do is make him an offer.
46:23Better than Carter's, and we're good.
46:28Come on.
46:34We know your operation.
46:36You've been taking cuts from drug dealers.
46:39Detective Carter's human war.
46:41Where's my 50K for this meeting?
46:47Once you agree to turn on Carter and report him to your superiors, you'll get another 500K.
46:51Come on, that's fucking Trump change.
46:54The Reach is global, right?
46:56So that's not nearly enough.
46:58What'd you have in mind?
46:59Seven figures up front and ongoing payments.
47:02Hey, baby.
47:04Ain't that a bitch?
47:06Greetings, motherfucker.
47:11I could not believe when the hospital called.
47:14Believe it.
47:16You won't be getting rid of me.
47:18Did I scare you?
47:21I thought I lost you.
47:23Oh, here is your phone back.
47:28All I remember is, this gets me in trouble.
47:34Easy access.
47:35I don't want any more of that tainted shit ever again.
47:38Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore because I took care of it.
47:44What do you mean?
47:45He's never gonna sell you bad shit ever again.
47:48Or anyone else.
47:50Brayden, I hope...
47:54You didn't...
47:57Hey, that's my job, to protect you.
47:59He almost fucking killed you.
48:00Fuck that guy.
48:01But he didn't.
48:02I'm still here.
48:04I didn't want that.
48:05Brayden, that's not my idea of love.
48:07It's okay, no one's gonna find out.
48:09If battling an illness my entire life has taught me anything, it's that life itself is precious.
48:15Life itself is precious.
48:20I can't...
48:22I can't have this kind of guilt.
48:25You can go now, please.
48:36Denise, I got this.
48:39You gotta trust me.
48:42You on the phone?
48:43No.
48:47I thought I saw you talking to somebody.
48:49No, what's up?
48:52You're not gonna fucking believe this.
48:54No one tried to flip me.
48:58You gotta be fucking kidding me.
49:00This bitch, how'd she find you?
49:02I don't fucking know.
49:03You know that shit ain't happening though.
49:05Yeah.
49:07What'd she offer you?
49:09A lot of money.
49:10A lot of money?
49:13I didn't take anything.
49:19So how do you want to handle this?
49:24Agree to the deal with the caveat that you must meet in person for the first payment.
49:30Alone.
49:31Cool?
49:33Yeah, I got you.
49:35I'm putting the finishing touches on your social media.
49:37I just need you to look at them.
49:41I have backdated your post.
49:43I just need a professional picture for your work history
49:45and then you can let me know what you think about it when it's done.
49:50I don't care about this shit.
49:52I don't care about you, Effie.
49:54What am I supposed to say to that game?
49:56I don't know, maybe show me you have a fucking post.
49:58A post?
49:59A fucking post?
50:00Yeah.
50:01Maybe show me you have a fucking post.
50:02A post.
50:03A fucking post.
50:04Why the fuck does everybody say that?
50:05You should have told me.
50:06Why didn't you?
50:07I didn't know she was going to wave the ring in your fucking face.
50:09Listen, she's just trying to make it seem like something that it's not.
50:12That's not what I asked you.
50:14It's business.
50:18There we go.
50:19I can deal with that.
50:21But we were supposed to be friends.
50:22And you were supposed to have my back.
50:23And for a minute, I thought you were the one person that understood me.
50:27I do.
50:28You don't.
50:29You don't.
50:30And that's been the problem my entire fucking life.
50:32Effie is always looking out for Effie.
50:34What happened to you do this one thing for Noma and you're off the hook?
50:38I don't get why it feels like I'm always being backed into a fucking corner.
50:41Where I gotta prove how I feel.
50:44You're the one that's leaving to go do some robot shit with some lame ass nigga.
50:48No, don't do that.
50:49That's a cop out and you know it.
50:57I got you.
50:59Alright, no matter what, I got you.
51:04That's all I ask.
51:11Can you show me my page that you created?
51:14I don't know.
51:30Detective Carter.
51:34What an unexpected pleasure.
51:37Nico couldn't make it, so he stuck with me.
51:42Noma.
51:45I've been riding with Nico for as long as I can remember.
51:48So what you did is a serious violation.
51:53Where I'm from, that requires a...
51:55Consequences.
51:58One can respect that.
52:00But when you're surrounded by enemies, you resort to whatever weapons you have handy.
52:04Enemies?
52:05Yeah.
52:06Tariq St. Patrick and Melina Tejada said you're after me.
52:10An unfamiliar face.
52:12They wanted to know what you were about.
52:14Yeah, they didn't put it so kindly.
52:18That's ironic.
52:19And there's a lot of people out there who don't know you.
52:23That's ironic.
52:24And they said some unflattering things about you as well.
52:28Like you planning to bribe a government official.
52:32Is that what they told you?
52:33Mm-hmm.
52:40Common enemy?
52:43Why not common goal?
52:50I'm listening.
52:51I don't want any more trouble from the NYPD and your illustrious task force.
52:57You've been using the people who work for me.
53:00Why not work with me and cut out the annoying middle bitches?
53:03I can offer you so much more.
53:07And I'm sure there's so many things you can do for me.
53:12Hmm.
53:22Chase me.
53:25Betray me.
53:27Just waiting to get me.
53:30Got to chase me.
53:31Got to chase me.
53:32Got to chase me.
53:34Got to chase me.
53:36Love me.
53:37Hate me.
53:39Running.
53:40Chase me.
53:42Running, running, running, we go.
53:43Ain't no catching me.
53:44I know what they certain to for sure.
53:46You too slow for me.
53:47That's why they hate me.
53:49Cause I'm too fast.
53:50Can't catch me.
53:52Can't catch me.
53:54Fast like a NASCAR.
53:55Coming through the back door.
53:57I ain't winning.
53:58You lose.
53:59This is what you ask for.
54:01Trying to set a trap for me.
54:03But I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
54:06Love me.
54:07Hate me.
54:09Running.
54:10Chase me.
54:12Plotting.
54:13Betray me.
54:15Just waiting.
54:16To get me.
54:17Got to chase me.
54:19Got to chase me.
54:20Got to chase me.
54:22Got to chase me.
54:24Love me.
54:48They've been plotting against me.
54:50Fucking with our business.
54:52Tariq, you'll have to take out Carter.
54:56I'm fucking tired of those motherfuckers thinking they can stand against me.
55:01What the fuck you gonna do now, Tariq?
