[DIFRANCO] Wendell Kingston, aka Lil K,
was found strangled to death
near Heroin Highway.
He had a ruptured carotid
and a crushed trachea.
Obvious signs of a struggle.
As of now, we have
no suspects or witnesses.
Personal. Intentional. Brutal.
Possible retaliation for taking
a shot at Tommy Egan.
Lil K was our prime suspect in that.
Maybe Lil K's grandmother will talk now.
[DIFRANCO] Nah, not likely.
I questioned her again
when she ID'd his body.
She knows something, but she's afraid,
which means we need to find
someone else who's gonna talk.
But first
I want eyes on him.
Vargas, you and your team
are on Tommy Egan.
I want a fucking thesis.
I wanna know where he eats,
when he shits.
I want audio and video of everything.
The rest of us,
we're setting up buy and busts
in CBI territory on 67th.
The goal is mid-level dealers and up.
We want the wolves, not the pups.
Clear? All right, then.
Let's go, people.
Get to work. Come on.
Now we're gonna get these motherfuckers.

Why you start boxing?
Look like Darkseid.
At first
it was a necessity.
I had a dad that was mean
as a rattlesnake.
I was a lot like you. Misunderstood.
A bright light in a grimy city.
So I could either let
my father snatch my soul
or fight for my spirit.
I found a gym
and I just fell in love
with the science of boxing.
See, it's not just about size
or-or-or speed and power.
It teaches you other things too.
Like what?
Like how to read people.
See they background
without even speaking to them.
Anticipate their moves.
Nonverbal clues.
Ha.
Right.
Look I gotta bounce.
All right?
So same time next week,
and practice yo' moves.
The Blacks and the Mexicans
no longer feel like the minority.
It took them a while to catch up,
but the way I see it, we join forces.
We maintain our position.
That's why you're here
to get me to go in with Walter Flynn
on his little OxyContin business.
More like Percocets, Zannies, Adderall,
and a few far more addicting ones
that are still in the trial stages.
The Flynns are on their way out.
Everybody knows it, except you.
Walter's in deep with Ireland,
and no one boards a sinking ship.
Such a waste of a lovely dress.
You know, I didn't take you
for a rumors guy, Mirkovic.
The Flynns are fine.

CBI already has the South Side,
and Jenard and Diamond
are closer than ever.
Oh, come on. You didn't really
believe that they split, do you?
I heard that they're running
a shell game
with the Crimson Projects,
as they expand.
- [SPEAKING SERBIAN]

And now that they've added Tommy Egan
seems that they've taken over
the drug supply in the prisons, as well.
And losing all that territory
must cost a fortune.
Losing all that profit
can't make your boss happy.

Tell Daddy to give you a gold star,
