[TARIQ] Previously on Ghost.
Even if I were to pull
a congressman out of a hat,
the contract's contingent
upon US citizenship,
which you don't have.
I need someone who can make this work.
[CANE] Marry me.
You said I should start
thinking more strategic, right?
And you need citizenship
to make you legit.
That's what you needed Mecca for.
Just business.
Shit, that's up to you.
Right now,
this is what matters to Noma.
Aircraft Global,
it washes her drug money.
Aircraft Global must be
owned by an American citizen.
- [TARIQ] Cane.
- [DAVIS] Exactly.
You should have told me.
Why didn't you?
I didn't know she was gonna
wave the ring
in your fucking face.
Listen, she's just trying to
make it seem like
something that it's not.
That's not what I asked you.
It's business.
I can deal with that.
This is valuable intel, Cane.
I know, if he found out that
Carter's task force was dirty,
the raid on the stash spots,
pocketing product and cash.
We know your operation.
Detective Carter's who we want.
The reach is global, right?
What do you have in mind?
Seven figures up front
and ongoing payments.
You're not gonna fuckin' believe this.
Noma tried to flip me.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
So how do you want to handle this?
When you're surrounded by enemies,
you resort to whatever
weapons you have handy.
Tariq St. Patrick and Monet Tejada
said you're after me.
They said some unflattering
things about you as well.
Common enemy.
Why not common goal?

Think every bitch that sluts

Okay, but it doesn't make

Oh, so has your soul mate
texted you back?
Exactly.
Listen man, you dodged

You might not have seen it,

Tariq, so glad you answered my call.
I hate it when I gotta hunt
motherfuckers down.
Yeah, whatever. What is it?
Straight to business, I like that.
Look, I got a rogue dealer
operating out of an abandoned
amusement park called Vicky's
on Staten Island.
I need you to go check him out.
[TARIQ] Don't you have cops for that?
Yeah, but see, cops would scare
these little young niggas away.
Whereby you,
you fit right in

Where does Carter send him on the run?
A'ight, there's a new dealer

You know how that go.
Yeah, we just wonderin',

Noma, where are your new in-laws?
You know, I'm glad our father
couldn't make this trip.
This would surely affirm his belief
that Americans lack tact.
They'll be here soon.
Mhm.
To be married again,
after losing your
ex-husband so recently.
Have the Italians arrested
anyone for Lombardi's murder?
No.
- Not yet.
- Ah.
It's such a shame.
Yes, it's very upsetting.
I don't understand
the shift to the states
and the need for
government contracts here.
Is it because of Lombardi's murder?
There's no need to worry, okay?
I have everything under control.
Then explain your new fiancé.
You've always had
a penchant for the help.
But you have outdone
yourself this time.
You're such a fucking snob, Chinedu.
Have I ever said anything
about your countless whores?
Have I?
You have.
And I have never married any of them.
Ah, your new family?
[CANE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
The hell are you doin' here?
Nigga, you think we wanted to come?
Look, you said you wanted me here.
So you get your brother
and your sister.
- We can just fuckin' leave.
- No.
Of course, everyone's welcome.
Come in. Please.
Mm-hm.
Shut yo ass up.
[NOMA] Oh.
You know, I am your biggest supporter.
[CHINEDU CLEARS THROAT]
I like your home, Cane.
- Thank you.
- Very architectural.
Well-well that's-that's,
that's the first cap,
because technically,
he don't own this place.
Uh, he and I used
to live here together
until Cane so graciously
kicked me out.
Well, that's not really
the point now, is it Dru?
Well, I guess you forgot
that I said you
and your brother can live here
until I sell it.
Oh, that's weird,
because you told me
that you own the place.
I guess that bar salary
doesn't quite cut it, huh?
Bar?
Yes. Oh, didn't I tell you?
The Tejada family
are the proud owners
of a local bistro.
Oh, pfft. Bistro is a stretch.
It's a dive bar in Queens.
Well, that dive bar was built
by my mother and late father
from the ground up in Queens.
- It has a ton of character.
- Like you and your family.
Cane, what do you do?
Mm.
Well, um, I worked in the family
business my entire life.
More recently,
I started working with Noma,
and I am very impressed
how she's been running her company.
Her company?
Actually, it's more of
a family enterprise.
[NOMA] Yes, Chinedu.
They're aware
that it's a family enterprise.
Damn boy, you don't know shit
about these motherfuckers,
do you?
[MONET] This ain't all rainbows
and roses after all.
So what do you do?
Now isn't the time
to discuss business, yeah?
You're right.
So, how did you and Cane meet?
We don't need to go over that again.
No, wait.
But it's your rehearsal dinner.
What else should we be talking about?
Exactly.
What else would we be talking about?
Oh, did you know that me and
Noma share a mutual friend,
- Hm.
- Dante Spears. Mecca.
Yes, yes.
Uh, he worked for your
family's enterprise.
- [MONET] Mhm.
- Right?
- [NOMA CLEARS THROAT]
- You knew Mecca?
[DRU] Mm.
- They grew up together.
- Mm.
I knew Mecca
and now she's engaged to my son.
Well, aren't we
just one big happy family.
Anya, can you help me
gather the plates please?
Don't we have the help for that?
[NOMA] Anya! Help.
- Please!
- There you go.
And uh, Chinedu, why don't you
enjoy the views, yeah?
- You're right.
- It's amazing.
I should get some fresh air.
Dru and Diana can-
how about y'all help
clean up these plates, too?
- Nah.
- Nigga what?
- Your little baby got it.
- Help!
Please go help your brother,
'cause he needs some help right now.
[MONET EXHALES]
- Man, this is nice Cane.
- Yeah.
We need to talk.
Bet we do need to talk.
You ignorin' all my texts.
Talkin' shit like you on
an episode of Housewives.
You know I can blow up your
spot, right?
You want Noma to know
you and the 2 Live Crew
out there working with a cop?
You invited me Cane.
Yes, because we gotta make
this shit look legit
when ICE start askin' questions.
Not so you can fuckin' embarrass me.
Man, chill the fuck out.
We gonna be at your
little funky ass wedding, okay?
You're so damn persistent.
[CANE GRUNTS]
I still can't believe you about
to marry this uppity bitch.
Look Ma,
I know you don't understand
what all is going on,
but you bein' here,
I appreciate that real talk.
You know, when Lorenzo got locked up,
you didn't have to step up.
You was a fuckin' child,
but you did that shit anyway.
And I know I don't say this often,
but, you a good son, Cane.
You mean you never say that shit?
Say that again. I need to hear that.
You right, I never say it.
But you deserve more
than me talkin' down to you.
Nah Ma, you did all you can.
You know, we turned out all right.
At least I did, you know.
Dru's always been a little bitch,
and Diana's a little crazy.
Look, we all fuckin' crazy.
But at the end of the day,
we family first, forever.
Now, are you sure you
want to do this, son?
Yeah.
Yeah, Noma's good for me.
It's a good thing. Know what
I mean, she'll make me partner.
Aw, Cane.
She's never gonna be able
to see you as a equal.
She's only makin' you feel good
because you got something she want.
Nah, Ma. That's how you roll.
Look, I know you takin' her
for your little bitch
and all that, and I get it.
But get this Cane,
Noma ain't the one.
You can't trust her.
Are we interrupting something?
Nah, just Monet being Monet.
All right, well,
Bronze just called,
they're already at the bar.
Oh, you can talk.
Thought your head was
so far up Carter's asshole,
- you couldn't talk.
- Okay, don't do that Cane.
We came here for you.
Wait, wait.
Is there any like, raids
I should know about Dru?
Are there any more buildings
you and Noma want to buy out
from underneath me?
Grow the fuck up Cane.
I am grown nigga, maybe if you
handled business like a man
- [DRU] I handle business.
- Hey, hey, hey stop!
Stop!
Shut the fuck up!
Go out. Have a good time.
All right, get out my face.
Go!
And don't do no nasty shit at my bar.
I'll be right there for when
Noma kicks your ass to the curb.
[CANE] Yeah.
Monet, we should talk.
What?
Talk.
Monet,
I want us to get along, okay?
I'm marrying your son,
for God's sakes.
What the fuck does that
have to do with me?
Okay look, I shouldn't have
kicked you out of the business.
Yeah. We're family.
- We should act as such.
- Fuck your family business.
I don't want back in,
but I do want my kids taken care of.
And as a mother,
I know you understand that.
Yeah, well,
in what way can I
assist you with that?
Money.
Lots of it.
Fortunately,
I-I don't allow large sums of
cash to sit around unattended.
Okay, I prefer to invest,
but I do have access to product.
And you clearly know
what to do with that.
There's an abandoned
amusement park on Staten Island
with a food stand, filled with
all types of goodies.
Yeah?
Everything inside
of it now belongs to you.
He's waiting for you now.
What do you want in return?
Let's consider this
an attempt to strengthen
our newfound familial ties.
But it's a clean slate
from here on out.
Deal?
Yeah.

expect me to go from being
a pregnant college student
to almost dyin' in
the middle of a alley,
to ruinin' a little boy's life,
then back to being a college
student all over again.
That shits mad heavy for me.
I walked out of an exam today.
Didn't even write my name on it.
It's like when I'm in class,
I'm focused on everything but class.
And when I'm in the streets,
I don't know,
it's like all I can
think about is school.
Dru, I can't help but-
I can't shake this feeling
that I lost something.
And I'm not just
talkin' about the baby.
I fuckin' feel lost.
You don't gotta deal with
any of that by yourself.
I got you.
I believe that.
Ah!
You want to hear somethin' wild?
Uh, uh, an art curator thinks
that I might be talented enough
for a fellowship in Paris.
Mm-mm, Stop lyin'.

You know how much I love drawing.
Mm-hm.
And it's been-it's been a-a dream.
But working with Carter
has its advantages.
Uh uh.
Ain't no way workin' for
a dirty ass cop like Carter
is an advantage, Dru.
No, it's not like that.
The power and feeling needed,
appreciated.
I didn't know I fucking needed that,
but could be all wrong.
Looks like Carter's pushin' me out.

How, um,
confident are you in
your decision to marry Cane?
This has nothing to do with that.
So, you're really getting
married tomorrow?
Mm. Yeah.
Shit's about to be different
for all of us.
I don't get you.
You're committing
yourself to wild ass Noma.
[CHUCKLING]
It is what it is, you know.
It don't gotta make
sense to nobody else,
as long as it makes sense to me.
It's all that matters.
Make it make sense.
Because you're getting
married tomorrow,
but you're fucking me tonight.
Me marrying Noma has
nothing to do with you.
All right, you want to go to
Stanford and build robots?
Cool.
But I want to be Bumpy Johnson.
You know, Frank Lucas, Nicky Barnes.
And being with Noma gets me that.
- How'd they end up?
- Immortal.
Look,
I don't shit on your robot dreams
'cause it don't make sense to me.
So don't shit on mines.
You're right.
Um,
at the end of the semester,
I'm going to California,
so I need out.
Like forever Cane,
'cause I can't do this.
I can't do this life.
I don't want you to do this life.
But I also don't want to lie to you.
Then don't.
What's the real?
I'm about to be running
the entire operation.
Both sides.
- But?
- But it's still Noma's business.
You wanted in the game, now you in.
And the games for life.
Look, I can try to talk to her.
[CANE] That's the best I can do.
The fuck are you doing here, Tariq?
Carter sent me.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Noma sent me.
Shit! Look, this is a fucking setup.
Fuck!
Put your fucking guns
on the ground, now!

What the fuck are y'all doing here?
Look, Janet said that Noma
sent you to Staten Island.
And Effie said Vadim was here, too.
And then we heard
that Carter sent your ass here.
So you knew Carter was
after me this whole time?
Hell, no.
Thought you were coming after my spot.
When we figured it out,
we rushed over here.
So, Noma and Carter set this shit up.
They fuckin' played us.
We was trying to get Noma and
Carter to take each other out.
Yeah, now they working together
to take our asses out.
- Ain't that some shit?
- [DRU] Fuckin' joke.
The fuck we gonna do now?
Well, fuck if they think we
dead, let's be dead.
That is fuckin' smart.
Gives us some time
to figure something out.
- Got your tool box?
- Yeah.

My fiance hasn't received
the unfortunate news
that his mother is deceased. Why?
Yeah, it looks like the Russians
took their job a little bit
further than requested.
They lit Monet's car on fire.
Now, there were two bodies
found inside.
I assume those bodies
belong to Monet and Tariq.
But we're not gonna know for certain
until forensics comes back, so
I don't want or need your assumptions.
We don't control forensics,
so for now, we just need to assume.
I expected more from you.
How do I say this?
Fuck your expectations.
I don't work for you.
Clearly.
'Cause if you did,
you'd better have proof
that they're dead.
Because if they're not,
we're both fucked, mate.

Do we really gotta
write our own fucking vows?
This shit ain't really my strength.
This needs to convince ICE.
What? Aren't I inspiration enough?
Of course. What's up?
Your mother is up to her old tricks,
which translates to her absence
at our upcoming nuptials.
Nah, nah,
she said she'll be there
and on her best behavior.
I'll call her, smooth things over.
Oh, please don't.
We have eyes on us at this wedding.
Everything must be perfect.
All right, fuck it. You're right.
I'll talk to her after the wedding.
Okay, luv.
Talk soon.
[TARIQ] Noma, Carter, fuckin' Nico.
I'm fuckin' tired of those
motherfuckers
thinking they can stand against me.
I'm Tariq St. fuckin' Patrick.
[SHELF CLATTERS]
I killed my own fuckin' father.
And they think I won't fuckin'
take 'em out
without thinkin' twice?
Betrayal can be painful.
Betrayal requires trust, Davis.
I betrayed my fuckin' self.
Only person I could
fuckin' trust is me.
All right, look,
that-that's enough, okay?
We need to calm
ourselves down and think.
How can you come up with a master plan
if your emotions are in charge Tariq?
I need you to breathe.
Davis, I'm fuckin' breathin'.
Can't you see that?
The problem is that so are they.
I get that, and we'll get to that.
But for now, I need you to breathe.
I don't need a lesson
on how to fuckin' breathe.
I need an army.
So you with me or what?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
It's time for Carter and Noma to go.
You got a problem with that?
Ma, goin' after Carter
is a death wish.
What the fuck you think they gonna do
when they find out I'm alive?
[MONET] We gotta take them out first.
Look, I love you both,
and if it weren't for y'all,
I'd be dead right now.
I can't repay you for that loyalty.
Now, Tariq could be here any minute,
so we could figure this shit out.
I want you all to stand with me.
But you're grown,
and capable of making
your own decisions.
Either way, it's all love.
Well, I got you. I'm in.
I'm with you, Ma.
Thank you.
I love you.
[SOOTHING MUSIC PLAYING]
Let's go do this shit.
I done know your big brain got a plan,
so, let's hear it.
Well, being that Cane and Noma
are getting married on Saturday,
I say that's the day
we take our shot at her.
Mm-mm.
They checkin' weapons at the door.
We gotta find another
way to get a gun in.
Nah, hell no.
I ain't takin' no shots at Noma
with my son standin' next to her.
How you know Cane
ain't workin' with Noma?
He's my son.
That's how the fuck I know.
So why isn't your fuckin' son
here figurin' this out with us?
Okay look, we don't think Cane
knew about Noma and Carter's
plan to take y'all out.
But, we can't count on
him to turn against Noma.
Man, just kill the bitch
before she walks down the aisle.
And that's your legal advice?
That's risky as fuck.
Now you know there's gonna be
hella witnesses there.
And she's gonna be
surrounded by her guards,
so, next plan.
A'ight, then we do it
after the reception.
Cane and Noma are going
to the Lotte Palace,
we can take the shot there.
What the fuck? Are y'all deaf?
I said I don't want him
nowhere near this shit
when it goes down.
All right, but we create distance
between the two. Simple.
Diana'll follow them to the hotel,
she'll corner Cane in the lobby.
I'll complain about Monet.
Talk about family drama.
I know Noma don't give a fuck
about that,
so, she'll bounce.
Exactly. Dru will be upstairs waiting.
And Detective Carter?
Dru, you know him best.
So how do we get at him?
We could get him
when he's doing confession
at St. Michael's.
He goes every Saturday at four.
And he's always in the
second to last confessional.
- [DAVIS] Nice.
- Bet.
With Dru and Diana at the wedding,
Tariq, that means you'll have
to take out Carter.
Okay.
So what the fuck are
you gonna be doin'?
Well, Davis is gonna
sit on Noma, okay?
He'll distract her,
so that she's not onto us.
So you think you can just
march into a church by yourself
and kill a cop?
St. Michaels has tons of cameras,
- you gotta black 'em all out.
- Effie can handle that.
You said all hands on deck.
Where the fuck is your white boy?
And where are the rest of the hands?
I don't want him involved, all right.
Well, you ain't got a fuckin' choice.
Now, I'll be waitin' in back
of the church in a burner car.
You bring him out,
we throw his ass in the trunk,
you never hear from him again.
But you gonna need
Brayden and Effie on board.
Just doesn't work without 'em.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
So, what do you want?
'Cause y'all ain't ask
me here to kick it.
Carter and Noma tried to take
me and Monet out last night.
- So now it's a fuckin' war.
- Again?
Yes, again.
I know you been tryin' to lay low
so you can sit this one
out if you want.
Nah, fuck that. I want all the wars.
You held it down for me
when Elle OD'd.
I'm ready. Whatever the fuck you need.
All right, bet.
But that means I need
no fuckin' drugs, bro.
I need your mind clear.
Yeah, I got it, Riq. I'm fine.
Look, I got shit to do,
so somebody please tell me
why the fuck I'm here.
All right, Carter's take down.
It's happening at a church
with a high end security
system and a guard.
I need the guard distracted
and the system taken down.
Why would I help you?
'Cause Brushaundria
is ready to tell anyone
that's fuckin' listenin' to her
that you're headed to California.
Yeah, so we're gonna take out Carter.
Dru and Diana,
they gonna take out Noma.
- Cane?
- Everyone but Cane.
This means you need to keep a secret
from your little boyfriend.
Okay nigga, you asked me for help.
And if you want to go there,
then we can go there.
Because last time I checked,
Lauren was still alive,
and you got a baby on the way.
Yeah, it's funny, ain't it?
Listen, that's of the past. Okay?
You want a clean slate
at Stanford, right?
Helping me do this,
will help you do that.
What are you doin'?
This is crazy.
Like wild. Carter's a cop.
Yeah, and he's out
of his fucking mind.
Bro, he's a thug with a badge.
What the fuck is new?
It's the fucking badge part, Riq.
We've done worse, guys.
Have we?
Listen,
seems to me that as if y'all
want to just keep lookin'
over your shoulders for Noma
for the rest of y'all life.
No. Definitely not.
Fuck it, fuck it. I'm in.
Noma, it appears
there were some signature lines
that were left unsigned.
I've tabbed where necessary.
Well, today is my wedding day.
Yes, which is why
I need those signatures now.
I really don't have time for this.
[FLETCHER] No, Vadim isn't responding
and hasn't shown up to the drop.
Something is off, man.
Noma's gonna be pissed.
Hey uh, my guy.
Look here. Um,
Noma wants me to deliver
some paperwork to Vadim.
It's a sensitive matter,
and she can't locate him.
So she asked
that you and I go check on him.
What are you talkin' about?
She got a call.
So I should have a talk with her.
Yeah, she's in a pissy mood.
I mean, if you want to end up

Noma, where are your new in-laws?
You know, I'm glad our father
couldn't make this trip.
This would surely affirm his belief
that Americans lack tact.
They'll be here soon.
Mhm.
To be married again,
after losing your
ex-husband so recently.
Have the Italians arrested
anyone for Lombardi's murder?
No.
- Not yet.
- Ah.
It's such a shame.
Yes, it's very upsetting.
I don't understand
the shift to the states
and the need for
government contracts here.
Is it because of Lombardi's murder?
There's no need to worry, okay?
I have everything under control.
Then explain your new fiancé.
You've always had
a penchant for the help.
But you have outdone
yourself this time.
You're such a fucking snob, Chinedu.
Have I ever said anything
about your countless whores?
Have I?
You have.
And I have never married any of them.
Ah, your new family?
[CANE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
The hell are you doin' here?
Nigga, you think we wanted to come?
Look, you said you wanted me here.
So you get your brother
and your sister.
- We can just fuckin' leave.
- No.
Of course, everyone's welcome.
Come in. Please.
Mm-hm.
Shut yo ass up.
[NOMA] Oh.
You know, I am your biggest supporter.
[CHINEDU CLEARS THROAT]
I like your home, Cane.
- Thank you.
- Very architectural.
Well-well that's-that's,
that's the first cap,
because technically,
he don't own this place.
Uh, he and I used
to live here together
until Cane so graciously
kicked me out.
Well, that's not really
the point now, is it Dru?
Well, I guess you forgot
that I said you
and your brother can live here
until I sell it.
Oh, that's weird,
because you told me
that you own the place.
I guess that bar salary
doesn't quite cut it, huh?
Bar?
Yes. Oh, didn't I tell you?
The Tejada family
are the proud owners
of a local bistro.
Oh, pfft. Bistro is a stretch.
It's a dive bar in Queens.
Well, that dive bar was built
by my mother and late father
from the ground up in Queens.
- It has a ton of character.
- Like you and your family.
Cane, what do you do?
Mm.
Well, um, I worked in the family
business my entire life.
More recently,
I started working with Noma,
and I am very impressed
how she's been running her company.
Her company?
Actually, it's more of
a family enterprise.
[NOMA] Yes, Chinedu.
They're aware
that it's a family enterprise.
Damn boy, you don't know shit
about these motherfuckers,
do you?
[MONET] This ain't all rainbows
and roses after all.
So what do you do?
Now isn't the time
to discuss business, yeah?
You're right.
So, how did you and Cane meet?
We don't need to go over that again.
No, wait.
But it's your rehearsal dinner.
What else should we be talking about?
Exactly.
What else would we be talking about?
Oh, did you know that me and
Noma share a mutual friend,
- Hm.
- Dante Spears. Mecca.
Yes, yes.
Uh, he worked for your
family's enterprise.
- [MONET] Mhm.
- Right?
- [NOMA CLEARS THROAT]
- You knew Mecca?
[DRU] Mm.
- They grew up together.
- Mm.
I knew Mecca
and now she's engaged to my son.
Well, aren't we
just one big happy family.
Anya, can you help me
gather the plates please?
Don't we have the help for that?
[NOMA] Anya! Help.
- Please!
- There you go.
And uh, Chinedu, why don't you
enjoy the views, yeah?
- You're right.
- It's amazing.
I should get some fresh air.
Dru and Diana can-
how about y'all help
clean up these plates, too?
- Nah.
- Nigga what?
- Your little baby got it.
- Help!
Please go help your brother,
'cause he needs some help right now.
[MONET EXHALES]
- Man, this is nice Cane.
- Yeah.
We need to talk.
Bet we do need to talk.
You ignorin' all my texts.
Talkin' shit like you on
an episode of Housewives.
You know I can blow up your
spot, right?
You want Noma to know
you and the 2 Live Crew
out there working with a cop?
You invited me Cane.
Yes, because we gotta make
this shit look legit
when ICE start askin' questions.
Not so you can fuckin' embarrass me.
Man, chill the fuck out.
We gonna be at your
little funky ass wedding, okay?
You're so damn persistent.
[CANE GRUNTS]
I still can't believe you about
to marry this uppity bitch.
Look Ma,
I know you don't understand
what all is going on,
but you bein' here,
I appreciate that real talk.
You know, when Lorenzo got locked up,
you didn't have to step up.
You was a fuckin' child,
but you did that shit anyway.
And I know I don't say this often,
but, you a good son, Cane.
You mean you never say that shit?
Say that again. I need to hear that.
You right, I never say it.
But you deserve more
than me talkin' down to you.
Nah Ma, you did all you can.
You know, we turned out all right.
At least I did, you know.
Dru's always been a little bitch,
and Diana's a little crazy.
Look, we all fuckin' crazy.
But at the end of the day,
we family first, forever.
Now, are you sure you
want to do this, son?
Yeah.
Yeah, Noma's good for me.
It's a good thing. Know what
I mean, she'll make me partner.
Aw, Cane.
She's never gonna be able
to see you as a equal.
She's only makin' you feel good
because you got something she want.
Nah, Ma. That's how you roll.
Look, I know you takin' her
for your little bitch
and all that, and I get it.
But get this Cane,
Noma ain't the one.
You can't trust her.
Are we interrupting something?
Nah, just Monet being Monet.
All right, well,
Bronze just called,
they're already at the bar.
Oh, you can talk.
Thought your head was
so far up Carter's asshole,
- you couldn't talk.
- Okay, don't do that Cane.
We came here for you.
Wait, wait.
Is there any like, raids
I should know about Dru?
Are there any more buildings
you and Noma want to buy out
from underneath me?
Grow the fuck up Cane.
I am grown nigga, maybe if you
handled business like a man
- [DRU] I handle business.
- Hey, hey, hey stop!
Stop!
Shut the fuck up!
Go out. Have a good time.
All right, get out my face.
Go!
And don't do no nasty shit at my bar.
I'll be right there for when
Noma kicks your ass to the curb.
[CANE] Yeah.
Monet, we should talk.
What?
Talk.
Monet,
I want us to get along, okay?
I'm marrying your son,
for God's sakes.
What the fuck does that
have to do with me?
Okay look, I shouldn't have
kicked you out of the business.
Yeah. We're family.
- We should act as such.
- Fuck your family business.
I don't want back in,
but I do want my kids taken care of.
And as a mother,
I know you understand that.
Yeah, well,
in what way can I
assist you with that?
Money.
Lots of it.
Fortunately,
I-I don't allow large sums of
cash to sit around unattended.
Okay, I prefer to invest,
but I do have access to product.
And you clearly know
what to do with that.
There's an abandoned
amusement park on Staten Island
with a food stand, filled with
all types of goodies.
Yeah?
Everything inside
of it now belongs to you.
He's waiting for you now.
What do you want in return?
Let's consider this
an attempt to strengthen
our newfound familial ties.
But it's a clean slate
from here on out.
Deal?
Yeah.

I don't get you.
You're committing
yourself to wild ass Noma.

It don't gotta make

Davis, I'm fuckin' breathin'.
Can't you see that?
The problem is that so are they.
I get that, and we'll get to that.
But for now, I need you to breathe.
I don't need a lesson

So you with me or what?

Look, I love you both,

I'd be dead right now.
I can't repay you for that loyalty.
Now, Tariq could be here any minute,
so we could figure this shit out.

Let's go do this shit.
I done know your big brain got a plan,
so, let's hear it.
Well, being that Cane and Noma
are getting married on Saturday,
I say that's the day
we take our shot at her.
Mm-mm.
They checkin' weapons at the door.
We gotta find another
way to get a gun in.
Nah, hell no.
I ain't takin' no shots at Noma
with my son standin' next to her.
How you know Cane
ain't workin' with Noma?
He's my son.
That's how the fuck I know.
So why isn't your fuckin' son
here figurin' this out with us?
Okay look, we don't think Cane
knew about Noma and Carter's
plan to take y'all out.
But, we can't count on
him to turn against Noma.
Man, just kill the bitch
before she walks down the aisle.
And that's your legal advice?
That's risky as fuck.
Now you know there's gonna be
hella witnesses there.
And she's gonna be
surrounded by her guards,
so, next plan.
A'ight, then we do it
after the reception.
Cane and Noma are going
to the Lotte Palace,
we can take the shot there.
What the fuck? Are y'all deaf?
I said I don't want him
nowhere near this shit
when it goes down.
All right, but we create distance
between the two. Simple.
Diana'll follow them to the hotel,
she'll corner Cane in the lobby.
I'll complain about Monet.
Talk about family drama.
I know Noma don't give a fuck
about that,
so, she'll bounce.
Exactly. Dru will be upstairs waiting.
And Detective Carter?
Dru, you know him best.
So how do we get at him?
We could get him
when he's doing confession
at St. Michael's.
He goes every Saturday at four.
And he's always in the
second to last confessional.
- [DAVIS] Nice.
- Bet.
With Dru and Diana at the wedding,
Tariq, that means you'll have
to take out Carter.
Okay.
So what the fuck are
you gonna be doin'?
Well, Davis is gonna
sit on Noma, okay?
He'll distract her,
so that she's not onto us.
So you think you can just
march into a church by yourself
and kill a cop?
St. Michaels has tons of cameras,
- you gotta black 'em all out.
- Effie can handle that.
You said all hands on deck.
Where the fuck is your white boy?
And where are the rest of the hands?
I don't want him involved, all right.
Well, you ain't got a fuckin' choice.
Now, I'll be waitin' in back
of the church in a burner car.
You bring him out,
we throw his ass in the trunk,
you never hear from him again.
But you gonna need
Brayden and Effie on board.
Just doesn't work without 'em.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
So, what do you want?
'Cause y'all ain't ask
me here to kick it.
Carter and Noma tried to take
me and Monet out last night.
- So now it's a fuckin' war.
- Again?
Yes, again.
I know you been tryin' to lay low
so you can sit this one
out if you want.
Nah, fuck that. I want all the wars.
You held it down for me
when Elle OD'd.
I'm ready. Whatever the fuck you need.
All right, bet.
But that means I need
no fuckin' drugs, bro.
I need your mind clear.
Yeah, I got it, Riq. I'm fine.
Look, I got shit to do,
so somebody please tell me
why the fuck I'm here.
All right, Carter's take down.
It's happening at a church
with a high end security
system and a guard.
I need the guard distracted
and the system taken down.
Why would I help you?
'Cause Brushaundria
is ready to tell anyone
that's fuckin' listenin' to her
that you're headed to California.
Yeah, so we're gonna take out Carter.
Dru and Diana,
they gonna take out Noma.
- Cane?
- Everyone but Cane.
This means you need to keep a secret
from your little boyfriend.
Okay nigga, you asked me for help.
And if you want to go there,
then we can go there.
Because last time I checked,
Lauren was still alive,
and you got a baby on the way.
Yeah, it's funny, ain't it?
Listen, that's of the past. Okay?
You want a clean slate
at Stanford, right?
Helping me do this,
will help you do that.
What are you doin'?
This is crazy.
Like wild. Carter's a cop.
Yeah, and he's out
of his fucking mind.
Bro, he's a thug with a badge.
What the fuck is new?
It's the fucking badge part, Riq.
We've done worse, guys.
Have we?
Listen,
seems to me that as if y'all
want to just keep lookin'
over your shoulders for Noma
for the rest of y'all life.
No. Definitely not.
Fuck it, fuck it. I'm in.
Noma, it appears
there were some signature lines
that were left unsigned.
I've tabbed where necessary.
Well, today is my wedding day.
Yes, which is why
I need those signatures now.
I really don't have time for this.
[FLETCHER] No, Vadim isn't responding
and hasn't shown up to the drop.
Something is off, man.
Noma's gonna be pissed.
Hey uh, my guy.
Look here. Um,
Noma wants me to deliver
some paperwork to Vadim.
It's a sensitive matter,
and she can't locate him.
So she asked
that you and I go check on him.
What are you talkin' about?
She got a call.
So I should have a talk with her.
Yeah, she's in a pissy mood.
I mean, if you want to end up
like Obi,
that's on you.
But me, I'm headed to look for Vadim.
Y'all two stay with her.
