My father's dead.
My own sister tried to kill me.
So why'd you come back to me, Vic?
I want a new life. I want immunity.
Full fucking immunity.
I want to know everything

- Who did it?
- I did.
The king is dead.
It's all gonna be up for grabs.
So you got a plan?
I was in the joint
with the leader of the RDs,
King Kilo.
Now, we used to talk about
building a coalition of all the mobs.
That may be our best bet
on moving forward.
[TOMMY] Only contact me on that.
Fuck, are you trying to get me killed?
You're gonna have to trust
that I know what I'm doing.
I came here to support you, Cloudy.
[CLAUDIA] Where do you get
the pills from?
We have to score them

Miguel, what is you doing here?

Everything a'ight?
The Serbs torching the projects
it's not only a problem for you
but a problem for me, too.
You ain't fucking kidding.
That shit's gonna cost us both
a lot of money.
[TOMMY] And it's gonna be hard
to get CBI
not to want to retaliate.
Seems to me that the enemy
of my enemy
is my friend.
Now's the time to send
the Serbs a bigger message.
You know, going body for
body, that only goes so far, but
if you cut off their supply completely,
that's the only way
they ever gonna fucking learn
who really owns this city.
Talk to your boy at the top
of the food chain.
[MIGUEL] Mm.
Ché doesn't like unexpected change.
Well, maybe it's time to remind old Ché
just how much weight I'm moving for him
and how much money I'm making him.
There ain't no way the Serbs
are matching that, right?
And he'll know who the better deal is.

Fuck the Serbs.
I'll talk to Ché,
see if there's a play to be made.
Stand down until we speak again.
Of course. You have my word.

Man, how many of these I got to pass

Not my call. Talk to your congressman.
Yeah, I will and find out
who getting the kickback
from the government contract
so I can invest,
make that money like them white folks.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, uh, not that I'm surprised,
but I got to, uh, give it to you.
You know, most parolees piss dirty
before their first job interview,
but you've been a model worth following.
That's why I put your name up
to speak at the fundraiser
for all the displaced residents
at the Crimson Projects fire.
Tell your story and inspire
some folks that need help,
you know, getting
on the straight and narrow.
[DIAMOND] Yeah.
Uh, I can't do that.
I got clients, so that's a no-can-do.
[REEVES] It'd also be a good time
for you to renounce
your CBI affiliation,
you know, publicly.
Seems like you need to be the
one being piss tested, Officer.
Ain't no way I'm gonna do that.
It's a death sentence
if I ever heard of one.
So we good?
Well, your parole review is coming up.
Renouncing would all but guarantee
your early release from parole.

Well, I got clients,
so I need to get ready.
We good here?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

So Vic Flynn's intel checks out.
The Crimson Projects hit
was Serbian payback,
but nothing connects it to Tommy Egan
except for his affiliation with CBI.
It's circumstantial at best.
I know Flynn is holding back on us.
[DIFRANCO] He's a wild card.
Usually guys like him, we know exactly
what's motivating them, you know?
We're just gonna have to go
full-court press on his ass, then.
This case would take years
to put together without him.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR]
- Uh, Lori Lewis
from the DOJ's office is here
to see you.
- Excuse me?
- Yeah
- Good morning, Stacy.
- Morning.
If we could, I don't have much time.
Yes, of course. Detective.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[LORI] I'm gonna be curt, Stacy.
What the fuck is going on in this city?
Civilian housing projects
are being burned down,
innocent bystanders shot on the street,
never mind the millions
of dollars that we have given
I can assure you that that
money has been used properly.
I don't give a fuck about the money.
I need something to report
to the Attorney General.
Have you gotten anywhere?
I am happy to report
that because of the work
of our task force,
we now have a high-level CI
working directly with Tommy Egan.
The new player in town?
- [STACY] Yes, mm-hmm.
- Good.
He's quietly connected himself
with some of the biggest
drug lords in the city.
This CI has firsthand testimony
that can land
the RICO investigation on Egan
as the head of the organization.
And you know
that all drug roads in Chicago
lead to the Estrada Cartel.
Imagine how that will look
for the party.
Hmm.
Well, just remember, Ms. Marks,
results talk,
and bullshit means you have
to get a new fucking job.
♪
You better hope
that this CI was worth it,
otherwise the DOJ will pull the plug
for the party.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[RAHEEM] Look, I've been loyal
to him, too.
But Jenard off his game.
You think I bet on the wrong King?
I think you bet on the wrong brother,
and that's a problem 'cause
you ain't seeing shit straight
and everybody talkin' about it.
What are they saying?
They saying that nigga laying pipe
got you twisted
and off your game as well.
I hate to say it, Shanti
but Jenard bad for business,
yours and mine.
You think who I let in my bed
is clouding my judgment?
I think I been knowing you long enough
to know when a nigga dick
got you "dickmatized."
Nigga, even if I miss a step,
you supposed to be there to cover me.
But instead, your bitch ass
is cackling with the birds
- behind my back
- [GROANS]
[SHANTI] simping like hos.
You know I demand loyalty
and, above all, respect.
And any motherfucker that violates that
will cease to exist, you understand?
Yeah, I got you.
- Good.
- [PANTING]
'Cause the next time
you let one of these motherfuckers
talk about me and disrespect
the moves I make,
it'll be your last mistake.
Day one or not, Raheem,
betray me or Jenard again,
and I won't hesitate
to send your broken body home
to your nana in a pine box.
I'm that bitch.
Best believe, just like
you ain't seen me coming,
neither will my opps see me coming.
I'm smarter than you.
[SCOFFS] I'm smarter than all y'all.
Remember that.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Man, what the hell are we doing here?
[TOMMY] Right, got to keep
our operation moving,
keep the Feds from seeing any patterns.
This is the last place
they expecting us to be.
All right, now, first things first
that Serb hit put a major dent
into our cash flow
and how we moving weight.
So now we got to take that product
to a new side of town, a'ight?
[JENARD] So we ain't gonna get
the Serbs back?
- Nah.
- [PERSON] What?
- [PERSON 2] Oh, bro.
- Look, it's been days, a'ight?
The crew they just itching
to put a bullet in a nigga.
Now, I don't know about y'all,
but 130K a day is enough
to kill a motherfucker over,
if you ask me.
Not if it means losing bodies,
which means us losing management,
which means us losing our way
of collecting.
We ain't got nothing to collect!
They burnt the shit down.
Look, trading shots right now
is not worth it.
The Serbs are not gonna back down,
so we got to move different.
Hey, look, man, all this some bullshit.
We ain't come up in here
to hear y'all arguing
about all y'all business.
This how you take care
of shit in public?
Nah, man. Kilo ain't about that.
Man, shut the fuck up before
I take care of you in public.
- Bitch, come make me sit down.
- [TOMMY] No, no, no, no!
We ain't doing that.
We ain't doing that, now.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- This is motherfucking point
of a coalition.
You see this right here?
This can't happen.
Now, we all get on the same page
so nobody fucking up nobody else's shit?
Man, we got trifling-ass niggas
- in every one of these crews.
- I know.
They ain't gonna follow orders.
If any one of you motherfuckers
step out of line,
you take us all down.
If you can't handle your men,
then you're out.
And then you get no product,
and you get no backup.
- That's why we here.
- That's right. Now look around.
We got all of the South,
the North, Southville,
county lockups, Garfield Park,
all here repping, a'ight?
And we moving in unison.
We moving as one.
So we can't let every little
fight trip us up right now.
It's too much to gain.
We hear you. Where we going next?
Next we headed to the West Side,
but this time we're gonna unite
the entire West Side.
Now, Garcia's crew
they're holding down
Brighton Park, Little Village,
and North Lawndale.
Showstopper, she got Garfield Park,
West Garfield Park, parts of Austin,
so now we need Humboldt Park.
And that means we gonna pay
a little visit to the DSDs.
Now, other than the Insane Princes,
they got the most clout.
And if we get them on board,
every other motherfucking crew
in this city gonna fall
in line, all right?
Gather up your peoples,
get your shit together,
and let's do this motherfucker.
Hey, look what about the Serbs?
It's gonna be handled.
As long as nobody retaliate,
that shit getting taken care of
all the way at the top.
You feel me?
So what?
Your pops get killed, and your
sister kicked you out the family?
Got you working for Tommy again?
Nah, she wishes
she was the reason I'm here.
- Fuck her.
- Yeah, that bitch is crazy.
Yeah, is that why you answered the door
when she came knocking?
Oh, okay, so you keeping real
tabs on motherfuckers, huh?
I ain't gonna lie she came to me
with some little wack-ass shit,
but I passed.
It's funny, though.
She really out here trying
to replace old Scarface, huh?
Yeah, that's all she ever
wanted not me, though.
Hey, look, man,
Tommy's got something good
going for all of us,
making money for everybody.
Getting on his good side might be worth
whatever grudge you're holding.
Get the fuck out of here
with that "We Are the World"
bullshit, man.
All right, don't listen to me.
You got a line on DSD?
Mm-hmm. That's Chavo Cardenas.
He's the shot caller.
We didn't cross paths too much,
but we came up at the same time.
[TOMMY GRUNTS]
He'll answer when I call.
Good shit, D.
So what is that you were saying
about the Serbs being handled?
I got a little visit
from Miguel this morning.
I convinced his ass
that getting the Serbs cut off
from their connect
was the best way of getting back at 'em.
Damn, that's a good move,
as long as Ché allows it, though.
[TOMMY] It's the best thing
that we fucking could do for ourselves.
Look, the Serbs know that we
be gonna be coming back for them,
but they ain't expecting
Miguel to do it.
Surprise, motherfuckers!
- [LAUGHS]
- Garcia do all the work for us,
and we just keep expanding.
[SHANTI] Name's Shanti.
- Thanks for seeing me.
- Why are you here?
Because I'm the bitch
you should be working with.
- [SCOFFS]
- That hustle you tried
to sell Jenard, it ain't his style.
No disrespect, but I don't even
fucking know you.
You really need my credentials?
- I do.
- [SHANTI] How about this?
You got pills to move.
I got the bodies you need to move 'em.
These clubs are exclusive.
You think because
it's a members-only joint
I don't know the owner?
Her name's Jenny Benson.
And one call from me with
a promise to cut her a slice,
and it's my girls that
could be moving your product
through the place.
Now do you know me?
I'll take that scotch by the way.
[CLAUDIA CHUCKLES]
I'm not stupid.
Tommy wants me dead,
and you showing up here is
quite convenient, don't you think?
Nah.
I'm from Garfield Park.
I do what I want.
Okay.
[LIQUOR POURING]
Neither Tommy or Jenard know I'm here.
Look, we need each other,
'cause if I had the pill connect,
I would not be here talking to you.
And if you had the distro
you wouldn't be listening to me.
So we gonna work this hustle or what?
You supply. I distribute.
Okay.
Deal is 60/40, split my way.
Bitch, bye.
You know what?
Why are we pretending like
we have dicks to measure?
50/50.
I supply the product.
You stay clean from CBI.
Oh, this is just ours
not a man in sight.
That's my final offer.
All right, I can fuck with that.
Bring all the product you got.
My girls don't fuck around.
[STACY] I want everything
on Flynn right now
a wire, a handler, 24-7 watch,
whatever is gonna make
his white ass push out
a nice little shiny diamond for us.
I hear you.
I wouldn't crowd him right now.
I just think
I already know what you think, Tseng.
The point is, he's obviously
getting his loyalties crossed.
This motherfucker's
not getting the message,
and I'm not gonna lose my job over that.
- [DIFRANCO] If I may?
- Please.
Any additional eyes or heat
will likely spook Egan.
I mean, this guy's been at it
a long time.
He'll sniff a rat the moment
we give him a chance.
Agreed. I mean, the guy's
evaded federal prosecution
at every level,
and he's shaken our
surveillance multiple times.
I think you have Vic Flynn
exactly where you want him.
Well, I refuse to let Vic Flynn
think he's in control.
So you bring him to me.
I want to look him in his eyes.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
They fucking deserve it.
Why the request to meet here?
People tend to be on their best behavior
in a public place.
For 20 years
the Serbian people have profited wealth
from Estrada and its kind people.
Our kindness is being
being taken for granted.
Kindness is only a fantasy
where I come from.
So is restraint where I am from.
But I manage to find it.
Burning a building full
of customers is unacceptable
in our business.
It invites unwanted attention.
You will end this war with Miguel.
Miguel is the one who needs to end it.
He tortured one of my men.
He's stealing my territories,
working with every
garbage-collecting dealer
in town, including Tommy Egan.
I refuse to let anyone take what is mine
or be told how to protect my interests.
You would have nothing to fight for
were it not for Estrada family.
Jesus
He knew that true humility
comes from having nothing.
I will teach you that lesson.
I'm going to cut off your supply
until you're so hungry
that you're on your knees,
begging to get my product back
into your hands
or you can get on your knees
and beg me right now.
