Power (2014) s05e10 Episode Script
When This Is Over
1 Broc? Yo, what the fuck, man? KANAN: And I trust you to do what needs to be done here.
You remember Broc, right? Dre went and beat the boy half to death.
Shot him in the head.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Tasha, where the fuck is the gun? Mind if we take a look in your trunk? I ain't got nothing to hide.
[GUNSHOTS.]
You know the alibi I asked you for? - For me, Ghost, Tariq? - Tommy.
Well, I need one more.
I saw Kanan Stark at the penthouse during Raina's wake.
He had opportunity to steal Tasha's gun.
Tasha went too far with that.
If we gonna be together, that shit could happen again.
I don't want to have to do that again.
An arrest was made in the murder of Special Agent Gregory Knox.
Mike Sandoval? He's being remanded to the MCC tonight.
Look, Sandoval's gonna flip.
If he knows you two killed Lobos Oh, he tells him that, we're fucked.
We're sitting here talking about killing a fucking United States attorney in a federal prison.
What about Teresi? I need your help.
TOMMY: Look, you got a roommate in there.
TERESI: You got a name? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- - Feds have been sniffing around.
I guess we have no idea what happened to Mike Sandoval.
No idea.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[SHUTTER SNAPS.]
If Tommy Egan finds out the truth about Tony Teresi, he'll take care of him for both of us.
I told the Feds I was gonna drop a dime on you.
Then I got to know you, and I couldn't do it.
[PISTOL FIRES.]
I can't get sucked back in, Jamie.
We can't keep making this a thing.
Do you still love me? What's this about? You are going to give us everything you have on St.
Patrick, and everybody you are both affiliated with, or else you are going down right along with them.
JOE: They say this is a big, rich town I just come from the poorest part Bright lights, city life I gotta make it, this is where it goes down I just happen to come up hard Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it 50 CENT: I never took a straight path nowhere Life's full of twists and turns, bumps and bruises I live, I learn I'm from that city full of yellow cabs and skyscrapers It's hard to get a start in these parts without paper Homey, I grew up in hell, a block away from heaven That corner every 15 minutes, they moving seven Pure snow, bag it, then watch it go Occupational options, get some blow or some hos Shoot the ball or the strap, learn to rap or to jack Fuck it, man, in the meantime Go head and pump a pack This my regal, royal flow, my James Bond bounce That 007, that's 62 on my count I'm an undercover liar, I lie under the covers Look a bitch in the eyes and tell her, baby, I love ya You're my inspiration, you're my motivation You're the reason that I'm moving with no hesitation JOE: They say this is a big, rich town Yeah, I just come from the poorest part Bright lights, city life I gotta make it, this is where it goes down Oh, yeah, yeah I just happen to come up hard Legal or illegal, baby, I gotta make it [TRE MISSION'S "STIGMATA".]
[SNIFFS.]
TRE: Thinking back to the day when I used to beg God Could a nigga get studio access? And then my studio itself got robbed Though you living like a movie, you an actress [SNIFFS.]
[COUGHING.]
[SNIFFS.]
TRE: I lost everything due to this bullshit THES: You should know how far that I go Because on my own, I know that with love comes war Know that with love comes war You should have known how far that I'd go Because on my own, I know that with love comes war Know that with love comes war Angie? Angie? You in the back? TRE: You got to keep at least one foot to the ground What, you don't know what slipping on your pivot is If it's talking about love, I was giving it But I met my demise, it was imminent Now I got stigmata, and wine in my cup She was reading the book, I was living it [LINE TRILLING.]
Angie, it's me.
We need to talk, call me back.
SAXE: What's it gonna be, Angela? Talk or go to jail? MAK: Now that your lawyer's here, it's time to make the decision, Angela.
We believe you colluded with James St.
Patrick to murder AUSA Mike Sandoval.
We heard Mike say that he has dirt on you the night you shot him.
Now we know why.
- That's motive.
- We also suspect you revealed Teresi's CI status with the intention of having him killed to cover the Sandoval murder.
And do you have any proof of these allegations? Angela, you're facing charges of criminal conspiracy to commit RICO.
And yet, you haven't provided an indictment.
What's my client's incentive for cooperating here? MAK: We'll consider a reduced sentence, possible immunity.
SAXE: All you have to do is expose James St.
Patrick, who we now know is Ghost.
I don't think you know anything.
You haven't made a single arrest.
CHARLES: I want a real offer.
Full immunity, or she says nothing.
That's impossible.
Disbarment, suspended sentence, witness protection.
- That's the best we can do.
- I want 24 hours to consider.
I need to talk with my family.
The clock is ticking, Angela.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Did she cop? JERRY: Not a goddamn word.
If these allegations against you are true, I would take the deal.
You are law enforcement.
If you go to prison, you will be killed.
I strongly advise you to take a deal and salvage what's left of your life.
I'll be waiting for your call.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[PHONE CLICKS.]
- Tasha.
- Oh, hell no.
I know you don't think you're here to see me.
I realized dropping by unannounced might be - Bullshit.
- Presumptuous.
I just wanted a chance to explain my actions.
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry? Terry, you had your chance.
You broke my heart.
James left me no choice.
He threatened to expose our relationship to the ethics committee and and and lie about when it started if I didn't lie for him.
Just like I thought you would do anything to protect me.
Stay the fuck away from me, Terry.
And please don't be here when I come back.
[PHONE DINGS AND BUZZES.]
- - [TENSE MUSIC.]
[POUNDING ON DOOR.]
[GUN COCKS.]
[POUNDING ON DOOR.]
- TOMMY: Who is it? - KEISHA: It's 'Keisha.
Who? KEISHA: It's 'Keisha! Open the door.
Oh.
[SCOFFS.]
Thank God.
I've been calling you all night.
Yeah, I had something I had to do.
Look, I'm not trying to sweat you, Tommy.
I was worried.
You was worried? - Yes.
- Nothing to worry about.
You should get out of here now.
- Move.
- Hey, hey.
What the fuck is going on? Nothing.
Nothing? Uh-uh.
You out here wildin', Tommy.
And I ain't never seen you like this.
So? So what happened? You said you would never lie to me.
Tell me what happened.
[SCOFFS.]
Go home, 'Keisha.
I'll call you later.
"Go home, 'Keisha"? Hold up.
We just had dinner with your family.
You calling me your girl and shit, and now, you all fucked up that you can't even talk to me? It's like I don't even know you.
You don't want to know me.
I hurt everybody that gets close to me.
- I'm a goddamn monster.
- Tommy.
- Get out.
- Wait.
- You're not a monster.
- Get out.
- You're not a monst - Would you get the fuck out of my apartment? [EXHALES.]
- Fuck you, Tommy.
- No, wait, LaKeisha.
- LaKeisha.
- Stay the fuck away from me.
LaKeisha, I can explain! Just I'm sorry! [TENSE MUSIC.]
[PHONE BUZZES.]
What the fuck? [PHONE BUZZING.]
- - Now? GHOST: Tommy? Tommy, you want to tell me what's going on, bro? You haven't said a word since you got in the car.
So what, I'm supposed to guess? I just don't feel like talking.
Come on, man, look.
You look like shit.
You smell fucking worse.
What the fuck is this meeting about, anyway? Tasha said she couldn't talk about it over the phone.
I'm assuming it's about Tariq, but it's bad enough she wanted us both there, so.
You gots to sober the fuck up, brother.
Tommy, I'm serious.
Come on, man, what's wrong? - You was right, Ghost.
- About? About my Teresi.
He was a fucking lying-ass snitch talking to the Feds.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I handled it.
What does that mean? How did you handle it? It's done.
Believe me, it's done.
So you cleaned up your mess.
You know, I thought you learned with Holly.
Don't talk about Holly, brother.
What I meant was I thought you learned way before, that nothing or no one should come between us.
We're brothers, that shit runs deeper than blood, Tommy.
You know that.
But you know what? The way I figure, now things can go back to normal, right? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Right, normal.
Angela, what are we doing out here? I'll tell you once we're inside.
[PADLOCK BEEPING.]
We have a big problem.
Terry Silver is back, and he's asking questions.
What do you mean? He showed up at my hotel this morning, apologized for disappearing, said that he thought I was lying about Ghost, but now, he knows that I wasn't.
I told him to get the fuck away from me.
Is he still in love with you? [TENSE MUSIC.]
- Wh what does that matter? - Tasha, we're all in danger.
I don't know exactly why he's back, but we may need Terry Silver on our side, so I need you to keep him close, by any means necessary.
Yeah, I understand.
Keep fucking him until you tell me to stop.
I wonder if that shit is still there.
No way, right? 20 fucking years ago.
- [SOFT CHUCKLE.]
- I swear to God.
Tasha, what the fuck? Why you bring her here? Calm down, okay? She actually brought us.
- This was her idea.
- Oh, our old high school.
Real cute, Angie.
Angie, I've been calling you all night, what the fuck? I haven't been able to answer because I was in an interrogation room on the wrong side of the table.
Wait a minute, you got arrested? - What the fuck? - Not yet.
But they gave me less than 21 hours to decide if I'm testifying against all of you.
We got to check this bitch for a wire.
- Yeah.
- BOTH: Not you.
I am not wearing a wire.
I had to ditch a tail to get here.
How weird does this make you feel? - Tommy, come on.
- She's clean.
None of you trust me.
After everything I've done for each one of you.
- For you, Tasha.
- I know, okay? And I'm not ignoring that, but you're just like Ghost.
You always put yourself first.
Wait a minute, Tasha.
How'd I get in this shit? Well, we're all on the same team now.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
There is a RICO investigation into all of us focused on the Felipe Lobos, Mike Sandoval murders.
We are all implicated, because they are saying we are a corrupt organization formed for the purpose of selling drugs.
In order to prove a RICO case, they have to prove a series of predicate crimes each of us has committed.
Why you put that under my name? I never said I did that shit.
Ghost, you said we did that shit? Nope, I didn't say we did shit.
This isn't about what you did.
This is about what they think you did.
Even though we all know you did it.
And Tasha, you helped them.
You gave them an alibi.
Don't leave your name off that list, Angie.
Don't forget about Mike Sandoval.
What does she have to do with that? Oh, she made sure we knew where to find him.
Is this true, Angie? You put that in play? The Feds think that I leaked Mike Sandoval's information to you two to have him killed inside.
GHOST: And you knew we'd take care of him.
Great.
He knew too much about me, Jamie.
About us.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
We think this network reaches much further and wider, to Andre Coleman, LaKeisha Grant.
- And Joe Proctor.
- Exactly.
But if we're starting with the people in charge, it all comes back to these four.
Including Tasha St.
Patrick? If she alibi'd them for the Lobos hit, then she knows exactly what they are and what they do.
Did you know that she started out in accounting school before she married St.
Patrick? It makes sense; her name's on the books at LaKeisha Grant's beauty shop, along with Tommy Egan's.
And that's why we shut it down, but we didn't find anything.
LaKeisha Grant doesn't know that.
If they had hard proof of any of this, they would have arrested us all by now.
That's why they're pressuring me to talk.
- They need a witness.
- We need a witness.
As long as we don't flip, we're all safe.
As long as these four don't talk, we can't do anything.
ANGELA: As long as we don't break team, we all walk.
- - GHOST: Yeah, but the problem is, there's more people, right? Than just the four of us.
More people know things about us.
ANGELA: So each of us should take on a potential weakness.
- Jamie, you control Proctor.
- Talk to anyone.
Tasha, you take on LaKeisha Grant.
Scare everyone.
I'll handle Andre Coleman.
I have an idea that could make all of this go away.
And you, sir.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I agreed to help you only to clear Tasha's name of these ridiculous charges.
She's innocent.
I'll get her to flip.
Hey, wait, Angie, Angie.
You're supposed to go out the back, just in case.
It's funny, right? Us being back here.
The same stairwell.
We only have 20 hours to make all of this go away.
After that, the indictments are gonna start coming, and it'll hit the press.
The world as we know it will be over.
So then, where do we stand, right? I mean, Proctor's got this idea going, Angie, that you're going to turn.
If that were true, would I be here? Hmm? I meant what I said in there.
Jamie, if I wanted to save myself, I could have done it last night.
And you would never have seen me again.
I would never have seen you again.
[AMBIENT MUSIC.]
- Do you understand? - Yeah, I understand.
Wait, Angie, wait, wait.
We'll talk about this later, when it's over.
When it's over.
[BOTH MOANING.]
I'm going to miss you so much, Dre.
[DANIELLE PARENTE'S "VERY LAST BREATH".]
As soon as I find out where I'm staying, I'm going to send for you and baby girl, okay? - You promise? - I promise.
DANIELLE: Judgment it stays And I know it's there But you won't say the words No, you won't say the words Gonna kiss goodnight And now I'll put up a fight But you won't say the words No, you won't say the words BOTH: [MOANING HEAVILY.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[GUNSHOTS.]
- [GLASS SMASHES.]
- [GRUNTS.]
Boy, get the fuck up! Give me that gun! The baby, Heaven! TINA: I got you.
It's okay.
It's okay Oh, fuck.
- It's okay, baby.
- Oh, my God.
Hey, baby.
- Who the fuck is this? - I don't know, I just I don't have time, all right? Just go to your mom's until I call you, okay? - What does that mean? - Just go to your mom's till I'll call you, and talk to nobody.
Daddy loves you, okay? Daddy loves you.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
Shit.
Let's go with this speech.
Let's put them on some cards, or MAK: Councilman Tate.
Can I get a moment of your time? Ah, you must be the reporter from The Post.
It's about your relationship with James St.
Patrick.
I'm AUSA John Mak.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Allow me to show you to my office.
Can I offer you some coffee or tea? No.
Please, have a seat.
You have my attention.
I want your help as an informant.
If you cooperate, my office may forgive some of your wrongdoings.
[SOFT CHUCKLE.]
Uh, Mister Mak, I don't know what you're talking about.
In the course of our investigation, we audited St.
Patrick's nightclub.
And we found some interesting discoveries in your finances, too.
I think you'd make a fine governor.
I would hate for New York to lose such a promising candidate.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
What's up? I got to go to the shop.
[R&B MUSIC.]
Well, it's actually about the shop.
So, look, the Feds are going to be sniffing around, and I just need to make sure, you know, that you're still down to keep your mouth shut about the money running through there.
Wow.
You coming over here and asking me to break the law for you again without even thanking me for the last time? I held it down for three hours, T.
And you didn't even call me afterwards to see if I'm okay.
And it's obvious I've been crying, right? Did you even notice? Do you even care? You've been crying? About this? No! Not everything is about you, Tasha! [SIGHS.]
Okay, I'm sorry.
You're right.
You've had my back 100 times this year, girl, and I don't know how to repay you, but I am trying.
Thank you, okay? Look, I honestly haven't been the same since Raina passed.
Sometimes, I don't even know who I am anymore.
I know.
I'm so sorry, Tash.
[SNIFFS.]
S-so you're not going to say anything? [SCOFFS.]
When have I ever said shit, Tasha? I've risked everything for your family over and over again, and you still need me to prove my loyalty? Fuck that! What am I even being loyal to? Some old purses that you gave me once? [SCOFFS.]
Wow.
I got my own kid to worry about, and this isn't fair to either of us.
You know what, you're right.
It's not fair.
It's not.
But just remember, your name's on those papers, too.
So if we go down, so do you.
- Fuck you.
- Fuck me? This isn't friendship.
This is blackmail.
Look, I'm sorry about Raina, but I loved her, too.
Get the fuck out, Tasha.
- Are you serious? - Yes, get out! And don't come back! [EXHALES.]
- - [TENSE MUSIC.]
Look, I need you to hold your end of the deal.
I need witness protection right now.
I'll get you WITSEC as promised.
But I'm going to need you to do something else for me first.
I need you to implicate the Jimenez in the murders of Felipe Lobos and AUSA Miguel "Mike" Sandoval.
Say that Alicia ordered both those hits.
Oh, no, no, no, Ghost and Tommy killed Lobos.
And I don't know shit about the second one, so.
You don't have to know the details.
You just have to state that Alicia Jimenez took out Lobos because she wanted to expand her territory, and then killed Mike because he helped her do it and was a loose end.
You sign the papers, you go into protection immediately.
New ID, relocation, the works.
- But if you refuse - No, no, no, no, no.
I'll do it.
But that's it, nothing else.
Do you hear me? You're the only one going into protection, right? - No family, no girlfriend? - No, it's me and my daughter.
Look, I don't need the mother.
Just-just make that happen, a'ight? Wow, okay.
We can try.
- Stay alive.
- Just hurry the fuck up.
I'll be in touch.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
After this morning, I I wasn't sure you'd ever want to see me again.
Come in.
Why did you really come back, Terry? I wanted to see you.
Tasha, you said that you would divorce James after he got the Queens Child Project.
Did you mean it? Yes, I meant it.
- I need to move on.
- Then you should file now.
There's a RICO mounting against James.
Indictments are coming down in the next few days.
How do you know that? [TENSE MUSIC.]
If you initiate the divorce, the Feds will offer you immunity to testify against him.
You need to stay out of prison, Tasha.
For your kids.
For me.
Testify about what? He didn't do anything.
Tasha, I know you're innocent morally, but not technically.
Of everyone implicated, you have the most to lose.
If you take a deal, you can walk away from everything, hmm? Start over, with me.
Live the life we both deserve.
SAXE: LaKeisha Grant! You in the wrong neighborhood.
Actually, I'm exactly where I need to be.
AUSA Cooper Saxe.
I need to talk to you about Tasha St.
Patrick.
She's an investor in your salon.
I don't fuck with Tasha.
Mm, what about your, uh bae, Tommy Egan? I'm not fucking with Tommy, either.
Connie Teresi says different.
She and her husband, Tony, had dinner with the two of you the other night? So what? Tommy's in huge trouble, and so are you.
We have reason to believe you're laundering his drug money through your shop.
I'll give you a walk on any charges if you can get Tommy to flip on James St.
Patrick.
Tommy ain't no snitch, and neither am I.
Really? Even if Tommy knew his buddy James was involved in his father's death? [SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You're wasting your time.
- Going to the city.
- MAN: Yes, ma'am.
James! I got something for you.
You're not gonna buy me dinner first? It was one time, and under duress.
Jesus Christ! Besides, that award-winning performance is the reason why I am no longer a viable witness against you.
- But Angela - Is not turning on me, Joe.
She's protecting me.
You know what? They brought her in for questioning.
And guess what, Joe? She didn't break.
- You don't get it, James.
- What don't I get? - Please enlighten me.
- Well, I'll tell you.
My guy, Charlie, saw FBI windbreakers coming for re-questioning on the Lobos transport.
They're trying to link you, Tommy, and Angela to Lobos and Sandoval.
Well, that's funny, Joe.
You know why? Because you and I sat in an office, and you were colluding with me and Tommy to kill Sandoval, not Angela.
Yeah, and my life has turned into a fucking hell because I care enough to protect you.
Well, listen to this one.
It doesn't matter if it's me or Angela that's implicated.
Charlie also saw Saxe talking to Terry Silver.
Silver's back? And Silver links all of us to Sandoval through Angela.
[EXHALES.]
- So if you won't burn her - Which I won't.
Then we only got one other shot.
Tommy.
- I should fucking kill you.
- Listen to me.
Okay, it works.
You tell the Feds that Teresi called Tommy, told him Sandoval was in the Manhattan Correctional Center.
Tommy told dear old Dad to merk Sandoval.
That version leaves us all out of it, me, you, and Angela.
If Terry Silver talks, he looks like a fucking liar.
And I know what you're going to say.
- You'll never flip on Tommy.
- Which I won't, but you would.
How do I know we can trust you? You would obviously protect your daughter first.
That's my flesh and blood, not some fucking delusional fairy tale.
I thought you were smarter than that.
You're getting played.
Come on.
You have to let this Angela thing go.
[SCOFFS.]
Bring me anything else you find out.
I don't have time for lunch today.
- What's the emergency? - John Mak came to the salon.
- I'm sorry he bothered you - Thank God he did.
You have to take the deal they're offering.
It's your only way out.
- It's not that easy.
- Yes, it is.
You just sign their little piece of paper and tell them whatever they want.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
But this decision isn't just about what you want now.
It's about Papi, and Junior, and me.
You got to think about your family.
You got to think about your career that you've worked so hard on.
Are you kidding me? You don't think I've been thinking about this from the beginning? My career is over, Paz, no matter what I do.
I have to start over entirely.
Then you start over, without Jamie, without any of that.
- It's not about Jamie.
- It's always about Jamie.
Ever since he came back into your life.
But what is gonna happen when you lie for him, hmm? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- - You got to save yourself.
At least you'll be safe.
I mean, we'll be together.
I'm trying to get out of it, Paz, okay? I think I have a way.
Can you trust me? [SOMBER MUSIC.]
What are you doing here? You know we can't be seen together.
Angie, cálmate.
I took necessary precautions.
- What happened with Proctor? - It's handled.
How about Dre? - It's handled.
- Okay, now we just wait, see how your plan plays out.
[EXHALES.]
So, Angela what do we do when this is over? Jamie, are we still the dream? [SOFT MUSIC.]
As long as you're you, and I'm me, we're always gonna be running from something.
Is this the ending you wanted? What if it's the new beginning? - We tried that.
- Yeah, but not like this.
Now we know the best and worst parts of each other.
It's better than the dream.
It's real.
When you're standing here in front of me, it feels possible.
But the world outside tells the truth.
[SCOFFS.]
It's like what Tasha said before, right? I always save myself, and so do you.
But now, we're saving each other.
Let's save each other.
You should go.
I'll see you when it's over.
When it's over.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- This is a great day, right? - Finally.
Man, finally breaking ground to honor Raina.
Very exciting.
And yet, still not as exciting as the announcement for your gubernatorial campaign.
Yeah, about that.
I'm going to postpone my announcement.
I don't want to distract from Raina's legacy.
No, Rashad, we made a deal.
We said that the coverage you got for the announcement would be a boon for our project.
- That was the original agenda.
- But? There are rumblings of a federal investigation into Tommy Egan.
And that could detract from us, this project, which is very important.
Now listen here, if they ask you to, you need to cooperate with them fully.
Nigga, you from this hood.
You want me to snitch on my last remaining day one? If you don't, then both of our careers are on the line.
And any of this shit blows back onto you, then I'm gonna have to cooperate with them if they ask me to.
- I promise you - They won't give me a choice, James.
- Listen to me, Rashad.
- Listen, I know how this goes.
Rashad, listen to me! Now, I just said it won't get to that.
Everything's under control.
Fucking take a deep breath.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You have my word, I want you to get up on that stage, and give these people your word, Governor Tate.
[SCOFFS.]
MAN: [INDISTINCT.]
All right.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
MAN: Here he is, Councilman Tate, from Queens! [APPLAUSE.]
Ladies and gentleman, before I introduce my partner of the Queens Child Project, James St.
Patrick, I would like to make an announcement of my own.
It is with great honor that I declare my bid for governor of New York in this year's upcoming election.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
I'm throwing my hat into the ring to become the first elected black governor of this great state of New York! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Without further ado, my dear partner, James St.
Patrick.
Thank you, Rashad.
And there's no doubt that you and I will be making history together.
It's been a long road to get to this groundbreaking.
Through my grief, I made mistakes, perhaps even made some enemies along the way.
But I can assure you, it was all in pursuit of keeping a part of my baby girl alive.
Our baby girl.
My wife, Tasha, joins me today in this fight.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
We are both here in the fight, and we finally feel that we've come to a place where we can say that the fight has been won.
This center will serve as a safe haven.
For parents, for children.
It will serve by giving opportunities to people away from the streets.
Programs that I wish I had when I was growing up.
When I was the age of these kids, to make my road a lot easier.
So that no father, no no mother, should ever have to bury their child due to violence, crime, and drugs ever again.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
GHOST: Thank you, guys.
All right, let's start digging.
Children, come on up! One at a time, come on, step up, come on, come on.
Don't bite me, don't bite me.
Get ready, one, two, three.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
- What the hell? - When were you gonna to tell me that Terry Silver was back in town, Tash? - Who told you that? - It don't make no never mind.
Did you know? [SCOFFS.]
I didn't know anything until this very minute.
You see that, Tasha? I I don't know if I can fucking believe you.
Are you breaking team, huh? - Is that what you're trying to do here? - Are you kidding me? What, I'm I'm I'm going to run off with Terry Silver? You must be fucking tripping, Ghost.
Well, you can't run off with him, because he's working with the Feds.
Tasha, just stay the fuck away from Terry Silver.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I will.
- Good.
- Can I go now? [ENGINE TURNS OVER.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
TOMMY: Come in! It's open! Hey, LaKeisha.
Thank you for coming back.
You cleaned up the place.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, a little bit.
About that Oh come come on, come here, have a seat.
[SIGHS.]
I I I bought wine.
You want a glass of wine? I'm good.
I wanted to talk to you about earlier.
I know I don't look like it, but I used to be that guy, dipping in my own product.
Since we've been back together, I ain't that guy no more.
But this morning, I I was that.
Because your dad's dead.
I'm so sorry, Tommy.
How do you know that? I didn't snoop, I promise.
This lawyer from the government, Cooper Saxe, he came by my place What that motherfucker want? He ask you about me? He ask you to turn on me? - Is that it? - No.
He wants you to flip on Ghost.
And Tommy, he said if I can't convince you, then they're gonna file charges against me.
And if I go to jail, then CPS is going to take Cash.
Fuck, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna let them do that.
You can't stop them.
I mean, I know you ain't no snitch, Tommy.
But I don't see it no other way.
I mean, come on.
After all that Ghost has put you through? Does he even deserve your loyalty? Tommy, the lawyer said he killed your pops.
That's a lie.
They'll say anything to get you to talk.
Hey, since we've been back together, I've always had your back, right? Even with all this crazy shit that's popped off.
Have I kept my word? You threw me out this morning.
And I said I was sorry.
And you said that you was down for anything.
But if you're not If you ain't you should snitch.
LaKeisha, you should save yourself, save your business, save your son.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
'Keisha, I wouldn't even blame you.
But if you stay I promise I'll protect you and Cash.
We'll be family.
But you got to be all in.
Okay.
I'm all in.
[EXHALES.]
- Yo, you good? - Yeah, I'm good.
You called me to borrow my vest.
Who the fuck put a target on your back? Fucking Alicia, dog.
First she demoted me, then she sent two hitters to kick in my door and try to kill me.
My daughter and my baby moms was in there.
She locked up.
Why would she get you shot up? I don't know, okay? I don't know.
But I'm leaving tonight, where no one can find me.
So I need you to call the Primeras and collect the money, and I need you to get as much cash as I can, - and get the fuck out of here.
- Money ain't your problem.
If you right, and Alicia looking for you, she gonna find you.
Look.
Ghost is fucking a federal prosecutor.
She wants me to say that Alicia ordered all those hits.
I agreed to say what she wants, but I ain't gonna say it.
When I get in there, I'ma tell the truth, that Ghost and Tommy are the ones that planned all the shit that she's talking about.
- What? - She don't know.
So when Ghost and Tommy get picked up, that solves everything, man.
All my problems get handled.
I can just come back when shit cool down.
So you telling me you a goddamn snitch? Bro, I got a daughter I got to protect.
You feel me? So, you got a better plan? Broc, you say he went on the run out of town, right? - Yeah, yeah.
- Something about him catching a body? Why you ain't try reaching out to him instead of snitching? You know he would help you hide out.
Yeah, I tried reaching out.
The first person I called, but he ain't answer, bro.
Look, all I got is you and Spanky, bro.
So you gonna give me this money or not? [TENSE MUSIC.]
I got you.
Respect, man.
Let me get that.
Ay, yo, you hear from Broc, tell him I said what up.
All right, done deal, I got you, it's easy.
I got you.
How did you know about the RICO, Terry? You keep saying you want a new life with me, but you won't even tell me the truth.
The Feds believe that James had AUSA Sandoval killed with Angela's help.
When she told me that Mike was arrested and being held at the Manhattan Correction Center, she broke the rules.
But it's not just that you've been asked to make a statement, is it? You've been asked to get me to turn.
- I volunteered, Tasha.
- What? Working with the Feds is the only way for me to have the credibility to save you.
Tell the Feds everything you know about James.
You don't owe him anything.
I can't send the father of my children to prison.
If we're ever going to have a real chance at being together, you're gonna need to say that Angela never told you about Mike Sandoval or the Manhattan Correctional Center.
- But I already said she did.
- What about Proctor? I mean, he's got dirty clients, burn him.
Blame it on him.
Terry, you let me down before.
Please, don't let me down again.
Okay? [SOFT MUSIC.]
Please.
[MOANS.]
Yes.
TASHA: [HEAVY BREATHING.]
Yes [RAIN PATTERING.]
Come on.
You ain't gonna shoot me in broad daylight.
- No? - Plus, if I was on some bullshit, you'd be dead by now.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, yeah? I know some shit that'll save your life.
What? Dre is about to snitch on you and Ghost.
He planning to meet with a Fed later tonight.
You got some fucking balls coming down here and snitching on your right-hand man.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I ain't gonna sit in the fucking rain.
Get in the car.
Why should I trust you? 'Cause I'm the reason you still got a connect.
That right? How you mean? I gave Kanan the drop on Jason.
If it wasn't for me, Dre and Ghost would have smoked that Serbian nigga.
Ghost? What's Ghost got to do with it? Ghost made a deal with Dre.
Ghost killed Diego, Dre killed Jason.
I told Kanan, and he stopped the hit on your boy.
- I was down with Kanan.
- Yeah, I was, too.
Look, I understand everything you saying.
But what I can't wrap my head around is why you'd come here and tell me this.
What's your angle? Kanan said if anything happened to him, I should come eat with you.
You got drugs and no people.
Right now, I got people and no drugs.
Me and you got a common enemy.
Dre's a fucking rat.
And if we work together, we can get rid of him.
- What's your plan? - I already set it up.
And he gonna be wearing a vest, so headshots only.
[CHUCKLES.]
I like that.
I can see why Kanan fucked with you.
All right, look, I'm in.
Jump out the ride, man.
I gotta make a call.
It's fucking raining.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
This is bullshit.
[LINE TRILLING.]
[CAR DOOR SHUTS.]
Hey, look, I got a line on Dre.
I I'ma clip him, but I know we're all supposed to be on the same team, so I just thought I would share.
Well, what, you got a fucking better idea? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Angela! Angela! [PHONE KEYS CLACKING.]
Where the fuck are you, yo? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]

Come on! [YELLS.]
Get in if you want to live.
- Andre Coleman.
- [GRUNTS.]
I'm here on behalf of AUSA Angela Valdes.
If you sign implicating the Jimenez Cartel in the pre-agreed charges, I can take you into protection now.
Or I could let you back outside.
Tommy.
Tommy! Why the fuck you ain't take the shot? I can give you some more time to think about it.
Fuck it then, man! Let's go.
[PHONE BUZZES.]
That's right, you little bitch.
Shit! You let him fucking get away, Tommy, man! You should have shot him in the fucking face! I feel bad I ever even liked that nigga.
- What the fuck, Tommy? - Y'all want to eat, right? Let's get you boys some weight to move.
We back in business.
Come on.
Hurry up, Mister Mak, Mister Saxe.
Well, looks like a motion to quash the subpoena of a one Deleterious Silver.
This is his lawyer, Miss Otombe.
Your client was cooperating with us.
Your Honor, what's Mister Hamilton doing here? Mister Hamilton has informed me that the government has a witness, Andre Coleman, who stipulates that the murders of Felipe Lobos and their former colleague, Mike Sandoval, were ordered by Alicia Jimenez, who they have in custody.
Your Honor, this is the first we're hearing of this.
If they already know Alicia Jimenez ordered the murders, then they no longer need my client since he has no connection to her.
What information could he possibly provide? Your client already told us he heard the information from AUSA Angela Valdes.
That's why Mister Hamilton is over there, grinning like the Cheshire cat.
I object to the characterization of my face, Your Honor, and I'm only here as an interested party.
Well, what about it, Miss Otombe? Did your client tell Mister Mak he heard about Sandoval's whereabouts from AUSA Valdes or not? It wouldn't be the first time a witness felt pressured by the DOJ to make a statement under duress.
- That's bullshit.
- Mister Mak.
Testifying for the prosecution will harm my client's ability to continue his practice in criminal law, Your Honor.
What potential defendant will trust him if he's working for the other side? I sympathize.
I see your reasoning.
- Your Honor - But Mister Silver is still an officer of the court.
He has to appear and tell the truth, no matter what.
And where is your client right now, Miss Otombe? He should have been here half an hour ago.
What the fuck, John? You're leaving? Angela never pulled that recommendation she gave me for the DC job.
I got it, and I'm out of here.
Come on, you can't bail on me now, leave me standing here with my dick in my hand.
I know we lost our leverage on Angela with the Sandoval murder, but we still got a witness against Egan and St.
Patrick.
- Who? - Maria Suarez.
She called me today.
She she saw St.
Patrick out in Queens, and she's pretty fucking worked up.
And we we still have Teresi's testimony on tape.
Yeah, but Teresi's dead, and it's not gonna be admissible in court.
Wha There are other ways to use it.
We just we have to be creative.
Come on, look, I'm going to call Proctor, and then I'm gonna go for a ride and stir shit up.
You in? I'm fucking out of here.
This is bullshit, man.
You're letting them win.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
Good luck, Saxe.
[INDISTINCT TV CHATTER.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- Who the fuck is that? - I don't know.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[WHISPERS.]
'Keisha, turn that shit off! Go hide in the back.
Fuck you want? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Oh, I just wanted to extend my condolences in person about your old man.
Too bad your former business partner, St.
Patrick and his girlfriend, had your dad murdered.
That's a lie.
Angela knew Teresi was a snitch.
See, a guy in our office, John Mak, told her in exchange for getting a new job in DC.
God damn, you all are dirty.
Sure, we color outside the lines.
But Angela knew, and you know she shared it with St.
Patrick.
That makes her the dirtiest of them all.
Teresi was a snitch.
He deserved to die, no matter how it happened.
You sure about that? Would it change anything if you knew who he was snitching on? [RECORDER BEEPS.]
TERESI: Mike Sandoval? Tommy didn't have nothing to do with it.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
Because honestly, Tommy's kept me at arm's length about anything important.
I got nothing on him.
But I can give you St.
Patrick, Ghost, on a stake.
[RECORDER CLICKS.]
If it were me, I'd seriously consider flipping on Angela and Ghost.
I mean, they've certainly turned on you.
Your father loved you.
The tape proves it.
If you got people expecting you somewhere I would go find them.
[SCOFFS.]
I'll, uh fuck off.
Say hi to LaKeisha for me.
[LOCK CLICKS.]
[RECORDER BEEPS.]
TERESI: Mike Sandoval? Tommy didn't have nothing to do with it.
Because honestly, Tommy's kept me at arm's length about anything important.
I got nothing on him.
[RECORDER BEEPS.]
TERESI: Mike Sandoval? Tommy didn't have nothing to do with it.
Because honestly, Tommy's kept me at arm's length about anything important.
I got nothing on him.
You did it, right? [SOFT SOB.]
Your dad.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
That's why you said you always hurt people that love you? He told me Before I did it.
He said he didn't snitch on me.
I didn't believe him.
You couldn't.
You understand why I did what I did? Yeah.
And that's why we had to get away from Ghost and Tasha, Tommy.
Ghost was supposed to be your family.
He could've come to me if he knew about Teresi.
He didn't say a goddamn word.
And then, this morning, when I told him that I did it [TENSE MUSIC.]
I gotta go out.
I know.
Tommy.
I'll be here when you get back.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- Tasha, come in.
- Thanks.
Have a seat.
Can I get you anything? I'm having white, but I can open a bottle of red.
- No, white is fine.
- Great.
[LOCK CLICKS.]
Go ahead and throw your things anywhere.
Mm-hmm, thanks.
Convincing Terry not to show up to testify was a gamble, and a much riskier plan than having him perjure himself.
He must care about you a lot.
That wasn't my plan.
He was supposed to show.
I think that was your plan with Ghost.
Tasha, that's not true.
How else did Ghost know that Silver was back? I only told you.
I haven't talked to Jamie since this morning.
Maybe Silver left town again? I didn't tell him.
TOMMY: Oh, so you didn't tell Ghost that Teresi was talking to the Feds, either? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Yes, that I told Jamie.
To protect you, to protect everyone.
I told Jamie to tell you about it.
- What's going on here? - What do you think? - Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
- Well, Ghost didn't say shit to me.
He went to Vincent Ragni.
And Vincent had me kill Teresi.
Your buddy, "Ballsacks," paid me a little visit.
He played me a tape where Teresi was talking about Ghost.
Didn't say shit about me.
And that's why you two broke team.
- No - To protect yourselves.
That's not true! You don't know how long I've been waiting for this.
It's time for you to go, Angela.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
How did Vincent prove to you that Teresi was snitching? Pictures, did he show you pictures? Yeah, the pictures that you gave Ghost.
You need to get those back, because you can see Saxe's desk in them.
I'm the one who took those photos of those pictures on his desk.
They'll trace back to me, then to you.
Saxe won't have any reason to believe that Jamie would go to the Italians with that information.
- [WHIMPERS.]
- No, Tommy.
I can't believe I'm saying this shit.
Go, Tommy.
We'll deal with this bitch later.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Tasha, I swear, I didn't have Jamie kill Silver.
If he broke team, he did that on his own.
Would you be surprised if he did? [SCOFFS.]
[DOOR OPENS, SHUTS.]
[SIGHS.]
No.
Tommy.
I'm going to pour you the biggest goddamn shot you ever had in your life.
That's all right.
I can't stay.
Another time, then.
Look, I know I asked a lot of you.
But you did this family right.
So because of that, whatever happened before is behind us.
Where'd you get 'em? Huh? Them pictures of Teresi talking.
Does it matter? I killed my father for you, for your family.
Tell me the truth.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Your friend, black guy in a suit.
He gave you those pictures so you would kill Teresi for ratting? No.
He wanted you to do it.
Let me get you those photos.
You got interesting taste in friends, Tommy.
And I understand.
It's hard finding people we can trust to go the hard way, people who get it, get this life, people who see in you what no one else wants to see That we're monsters.
Anyway.
At least it's over.
Not yet.
One more thing I gotta do.
CHARLES: I don't have good news for you, Angela.
The case against James St.
Patrick may not be over.
A friend of mine was able to slip me a witness statement from a few weeks ago.
Jesus, I thought it was over.
I thought we'd won.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Who's the witness? Have you ever heard the name Maria Suarez? No.
Well, according to her statement, Maria and her boyfriend, Miguel, were kidnapped by Tommy Egan and some of his guys.
They were taken to the basement of the Truth nightclub, where James St.
Patrick, who Tommy's guys called Ghost, killed Miguel.
- Did Maria escape? - No.
She said Ghost let her go.
And there's something else.
You were right about, um, Terry Silver.
He is missing.
But how did you know? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[ELEVATOR DINGS.]
James.
The case isn't over.
They have a witness against you.
And she is willing to testify.
You hear that? She, a woman.
A woman who could identify you as Ghost.
Now, who the hell could that be? See, I know how Tasha felt when you were inside.
She would not send you back there.
For the sake of the kids.
Look, listen, there's only one explanation.
Okay, there's only there's only one woman left.
Now, you know I hate to be wrong.
But sometimes, I really hate to be right.
So what are you gonna do about it, James? Hey.
Why did you want to meet here? Just been thinking a lot, Angie, about how we got caught making out in this stairwell, about that last slice of pizza I took you to get before you left for Choate About how long I've loved you.
I've always loved you.
Even when I hated you, I still loved you, too.
I've always loved you, too, Jamie.
What did you mean today when you said "I always save myself, and so do you"? [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
I meant that we both look out for our own survival.
And sometimes that means that I hurt you.
Sometimes that means you hurt me, too.
Proctor said the case against me isn't over.
He said there's a witness against me, Angie.
Said the witness is a woman.
Is that woman you, Angie? Is that how you hurt me for your own survival? That's why you asked me here? To figure out if I was testifying against you? Are you? No.
Then who's the woman? [POUNDS LOCKER.]
I thought we were supposed to be honest with each other.
If we're being honest with each other, Jamie, what the hell happened to Terry Silver, hm? Did you kill him? You don't trust me.
And you don't trust me.
Did you kill Terry Silver? It's over.
If we can't be honest with each other, there's nowhere we can go.
I know we said that we would get back together when this was over, but I think this, us, needs to finally be done as well.
Good-bye, Jamie.
[PHONE RINGING.]
I didn't do it, Angie.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
I didn't kill him.
I want to believe you.
So believe me.

GHOST: No, no, no.
Angie? Angie!
You remember Broc, right? Dre went and beat the boy half to death.
Shot him in the head.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Tasha, where the fuck is the gun? Mind if we take a look in your trunk? I ain't got nothing to hide.
[GUNSHOTS.]
You know the alibi I asked you for? - For me, Ghost, Tariq? - Tommy.
Well, I need one more.
I saw Kanan Stark at the penthouse during Raina's wake.
He had opportunity to steal Tasha's gun.
Tasha went too far with that.
If we gonna be together, that shit could happen again.
I don't want to have to do that again.
An arrest was made in the murder of Special Agent Gregory Knox.
Mike Sandoval? He's being remanded to the MCC tonight.
Look, Sandoval's gonna flip.
If he knows you two killed Lobos Oh, he tells him that, we're fucked.
We're sitting here talking about killing a fucking United States attorney in a federal prison.
What about Teresi? I need your help.
TOMMY: Look, you got a roommate in there.
TERESI: You got a name? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- - Feds have been sniffing around.
I guess we have no idea what happened to Mike Sandoval.
No idea.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[SHUTTER SNAPS.]
If Tommy Egan finds out the truth about Tony Teresi, he'll take care of him for both of us.
I told the Feds I was gonna drop a dime on you.
Then I got to know you, and I couldn't do it.
[PISTOL FIRES.]
I can't get sucked back in, Jamie.
We can't keep making this a thing.
Do you still love me? What's this about? You are going to give us everything you have on St.
Patrick, and everybody you are both affiliated with, or else you are going down right along with them.

Angie, it's me.
We need to talk, call me back.
SAXE: What's it gonna be, Angela? Talk or go to jail? MAK: Now that your lawyer's here, it's time to make the decision, Angela.
We believe you colluded with James St.
Patrick to murder AUSA Mike Sandoval.
We heard Mike say that he has dirt on you the night you shot him.
Now we know why.
- That's motive.
- We also suspect you revealed Teresi's CI status with the intention of having him killed to cover the Sandoval murder.
And do you have any proof of these allegations? Angela, you're facing charges of criminal conspiracy to commit RICO.
And yet, you haven't provided an indictment.
What's my client's incentive for cooperating here? MAK: We'll consider a reduced sentence, possible immunity.
SAXE: All you have to do is expose James St.
Patrick, who we now know is Ghost.
I don't think you know anything.
You haven't made a single arrest.
CHARLES: I want a real offer.
Full immunity, or she says nothing.
That's impossible.
Disbarment, suspended sentence, witness protection.
- That's the best we can do.
- I want 24 hours to consider.
I need to talk with my family.
The clock is ticking, Angela.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Did she cop? JERRY: Not a goddamn word.
If these allegations against you are true, I would take the deal.
You are law enforcement.
If you go to prison, you will be killed.
I strongly advise you to take a deal and salvage what's left of your life.
I'll be waiting for your call.

[PHONE CLICKS.]
- Tasha.
- Oh, hell no.
I know you don't think you're here to see me.
I realized dropping by unannounced might be - Bullshit.
- Presumptuous.
I just wanted a chance to explain my actions.
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry? Terry, you had your chance.
You broke my heart.
James left me no choice.
He threatened to expose our relationship to the ethics committee and and and lie about when it started if I didn't lie for him.
Just like I thought you would do anything to protect me.
Stay the fuck away from me, Terry.
And please don't be here when I come back.

So what, I'm supposed to guess? I just don't feel like talking.
Come on, man, look.
You look like shit.
You smell fucking worse.
What the fuck is this meeting about, anyway? Tasha said she couldn't talk about it over the phone.
I'm assuming it's about Tariq, but it's bad enough she wanted us both there, so.
You gots to sober the fuck up, brother.
Tommy, I'm serious.
Come on, man, what's wrong? - You was right, Ghost.
- About? About my Teresi.
He was a fucking lying-ass snitch talking to the Feds.

What does that mean? How did you handle it? It's done.
Believe me, it's done.
So you cleaned up your mess.
You know, I thought you learned with Holly.
Don't talk about Holly, brother.
What I meant was I thought you learned way before, that nothing or no one should come between us.
We're brothers, that shit runs deeper than blood, Tommy.
You know that.
But you know what? The way I figure, now things can go back to normal, right? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Right, normal.
Angela, what are we doing out here? I'll tell you once we're inside.
[PADLOCK BEEPING.]
We have a big problem.
Terry Silver is back, and he's asking questions.
What do you mean? He showed up at my hotel this morning, apologized for disappearing, said that he thought I was lying about Ghost, but now, he knows that I wasn't.
I told him to get the fuck away from me.
Is he still in love with you? [TENSE MUSIC.]
- Wh what does that matter? - Tasha, we're all in danger.
I don't know exactly why he's back, but we may need Terry Silver on our side, so I need you to keep him close, by any means necessary.
Yeah, I understand.
Keep fucking him until you tell me to stop.
I wonder if that shit is still there.
No way, right? 20 fucking years ago.
- [SOFT CHUCKLE.]
- I swear to God.
Tasha, what the fuck? Why you bring her here? Calm down, okay? She actually brought us.
- This was her idea.
- Oh, our old high school.
Real cute, Angie.
Angie, I've been calling you all night, what the fuck? I haven't been able to answer because I was in an interrogation room on the wrong side of the table.
Wait a minute, you got arrested? - What the fuck? - Not yet.
But they gave me less than 21 hours to decide if I'm testifying against all of you.
We got to check this bitch for a wire.
- Yeah.
- BOTH: Not you.
I am not wearing a wire.
I had to ditch a tail to get here.
How weird does this make you feel? - Tommy, come on.
- She's clean.
None of you trust me.
After everything I've done for each one of you.
- For you, Tasha.
- I know, okay? And I'm not ignoring that, but you're just like Ghost.
You always put yourself first.
Wait a minute, Tasha.
How'd I get in this shit? Well, we're all on the same team now.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
There is a RICO investigation into all of us focused on the Felipe Lobos, Mike Sandoval murders.
We are all implicated, because they are saying we are a corrupt organization formed for the purpose of selling drugs.
In order to prove a RICO case, they have to prove a series of predicate crimes each of us has committed.
Why you put that under my name? I never said I did that shit.
Ghost, you said we did that shit? Nope, I didn't say we did shit.
This isn't about what you did.
This is about what they think you did.
Even though we all know you did it.
And Tasha, you helped them.
You gave them an alibi.
Don't leave your name off that list, Angie.
Don't forget about Mike Sandoval.
What does she have to do with that? Oh, she made sure we knew where to find him.
Is this true, Angie? You put that in play? The Feds think that I leaked Mike Sandoval's information to you two to have him killed inside.
GHOST: And you knew we'd take care of him.
Great.
He knew too much about me, Jamie.
About us.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
We think this network reaches much further and wider, to Andre Coleman, LaKeisha Grant.
- And Joe Proctor.
- Exactly.
But if we're starting with the people in charge, it all comes back to these four.
Including Tasha St.
Patrick? If she alibi'd them for the Lobos hit, then she knows exactly what they are and what they do.
Did you know that she started out in accounting school before she married St.
Patrick? It makes sense; her name's on the books at LaKeisha Grant's beauty shop, along with Tommy Egan's.
And that's why we shut it down, but we didn't find anything.
LaKeisha Grant doesn't know that.
If they had hard proof of any of this, they would have arrested us all by now.
That's why they're pressuring me to talk.
- They need a witness.
- We need a witness.
As long as we don't flip, we're all safe.
As long as these four don't talk, we can't do anything.
ANGELA: As long as we don't break team, we all walk.
- - GHOST: Yeah, but the problem is, there's more people, right? Than just the four of us.
More people know things about us.
ANGELA: So each of us should take on a potential weakness.
- Jamie, you control Proctor.
- Talk to anyone.
Tasha, you take on LaKeisha Grant.
Scare everyone.
I'll handle Andre Coleman.
I have an idea that could make all of this go away.
And you, sir.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I agreed to help you only to clear Tasha's name of these ridiculous charges.
She's innocent.
I'll get her to flip.
Hey, wait, Angie, Angie.
You're supposed to go out the back, just in case.
It's funny, right? Us being back here.
The same stairwell.
We only have 20 hours to make all of this go away.
After that, the indictments are gonna start coming, and it'll hit the press.
The world as we know it will be over.
So then, where do we stand, right? I mean, Proctor's got this idea going, Angie, that you're going to turn.
If that were true, would I be here? Hmm? I meant what I said in there.
Jamie, if I wanted to save myself, I could have done it last night.
And you would never have seen me again.
I would never have seen you again.
[AMBIENT MUSIC.]
- Do you understand? - Yeah, I understand.
Wait, Angie, wait, wait.
We'll talk about this later, when it's over.
When it's over.
[BOTH MOANING.]
I'm going to miss you so much, Dre.
[DANIELLE PARENTE'S "VERY LAST BREATH".]
As soon as I find out where I'm staying, I'm going to send for you and baby girl, okay? - You promise? - I promise.
DANIELLE: Judgment it stays And I know it's there But you won't say the words No, you won't say the words Gonna kiss goodnight And now I'll put up a fight But you won't say the words No, you won't say the words BOTH: [MOANING HEAVILY.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[GUNSHOTS.]
- [GLASS SMASHES.]
- [GRUNTS.]
Boy, get the fuck up! Give me that gun! The baby, Heaven! TINA: I got you.
It's okay.
It's okay Oh, fuck.
- It's okay, baby.
- Oh, my God.
Hey, baby.
- Who the fuck is this? - I don't know, I just I don't have time, all right? Just go to your mom's until I call you, okay? - What does that mean? - Just go to your mom's till I'll call you, and talk to nobody.
Daddy loves you, okay? Daddy loves you.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
Shit.
Let's go with this speech.
Let's put them on some cards, or MAK: Councilman Tate.
Can I get a moment of your time? Ah, you must be the reporter from The Post.
It's about your relationship with James St.
Patrick.
I'm AUSA John Mak.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Allow me to show you to my office.
Can I offer you some coffee or tea? No.
Please, have a seat.
You have my attention.
I want your help as an informant.
If you cooperate, my office may forgive some of your wrongdoings.
[SOFT CHUCKLE.]
Uh, Mister Mak, I don't know what you're talking about.
In the course of our investigation, we audited St.
Patrick's nightclub.
And we found some interesting discoveries in your finances, too.
I think you'd make a fine governor.
I would hate for New York to lose such a promising candidate.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
What's up? I got to go to the shop.
[R&B MUSIC.]
Well, it's actually about the shop.
So, look, the Feds are going to be sniffing around, and I just need to make sure, you know, that you're still down to keep your mouth shut about the money running through there.
Wow.
You coming over here and asking me to break the law for you again without even thanking me for the last time? I held it down for three hours, T.
And you didn't even call me afterwards to see if I'm okay.
And it's obvious I've been crying, right? Did you even notice? Do you even care? You've been crying? About this? No! Not everything is about you, Tasha! [SIGHS.]
Okay, I'm sorry.
You're right.
You've had my back 100 times this year, girl, and I don't know how to repay you, but I am trying.
Thank you, okay? Look, I honestly haven't been the same since Raina passed.
Sometimes, I don't even know who I am anymore.
I know.
I'm so sorry, Tash.
[SNIFFS.]
S-so you're not going to say anything? [SCOFFS.]
When have I ever said shit, Tasha? I've risked everything for your family over and over again, and you still need me to prove my loyalty? Fuck that! What am I even being loyal to? Some old purses that you gave me once? [SCOFFS.]
Wow.
I got my own kid to worry about, and this isn't fair to either of us.
You know what, you're right.
It's not fair.
It's not.
But just remember, your name's on those papers, too.
So if we go down, so do you.
- Fuck you.
- Fuck me? This isn't friendship.
This is blackmail.
Look, I'm sorry about Raina, but I loved her, too.
Get the fuck out, Tasha.
- Are you serious? - Yes, get out! And don't come back! [EXHALES.]
- - [TENSE MUSIC.]
Look, I need you to hold your end of the deal.
I need witness protection right now.
I'll get you WITSEC as promised.
But I'm going to need you to do something else for me first.
I need you to implicate the Jimenez in the murders of Felipe Lobos and AUSA Miguel "Mike" Sandoval.
Say that Alicia ordered both those hits.
Oh, no, no, no, Ghost and Tommy killed Lobos.
And I don't know shit about the second one, so.
You don't have to know the details.
You just have to state that Alicia Jimenez took out Lobos because she wanted to expand her territory, and then killed Mike because he helped her do it and was a loose end.
You sign the papers, you go into protection immediately.
New ID, relocation, the works.
- But if you refuse - No, no, no, no, no.
I'll do it.
But that's it, nothing else.
Do you hear me? You're the only one going into protection, right? - No family, no girlfriend? - No, it's me and my daughter.
Look, I don't need the mother.
Just-just make that happen, a'ight? Wow, okay.
We can try.
- Stay alive.
- Just hurry the fuck up.
I'll be in touch.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
After this morning, I I wasn't sure you'd ever want to see me again.
Come in.
Why did you really come back, Terry? I wanted to see you.
Tasha, you said that you would divorce James after he got the Queens Child Project.
Did you mean it? Yes, I meant it.
- I need to move on.
- Then you should file now.
There's a RICO mounting against James.
Indictments are coming down in the next few days.
How do you know that? [TENSE MUSIC.]
If you initiate the divorce, the Feds will offer you immunity to testify against him.
You need to stay out of prison, Tasha.
For your kids.
For me.
Testify about what? He didn't do anything.
Tasha, I know you're innocent morally, but not technically.
Of everyone implicated, you have the most to lose.
If you take a deal, you can walk away from everything, hmm? Start over, with me.
Live the life we both deserve.
SAXE: LaKeisha Grant! You in the wrong neighborhood.
Actually, I'm exactly where I need to be.
AUSA Cooper Saxe.
I need to talk to you about Tasha St.
Patrick.
She's an investor in your salon.
I don't fuck with Tasha.
Mm, what about your, uh bae, Tommy Egan? I'm not fucking with Tommy, either.
Connie Teresi says different.
She and her husband, Tony, had dinner with the two of you the other night? So what? Tommy's in huge trouble, and so are you.
We have reason to believe you're laundering his drug money through your shop.
I'll give you a walk on any charges if you can get Tommy to flip on James St.
Patrick.
Tommy ain't no snitch, and neither am I.
Really? Even if Tommy knew his buddy James was involved in his father's death? [SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You're wasting your time.
- Going to the city.
- MAN: Yes, ma'am.
James! I got something for you.
You're not gonna buy me dinner first? It was one time, and under duress.
Jesus Christ! Besides, that award-winning performance is the reason why I am no longer a viable witness against you.
- But Angela - Is not turning on me, Joe.
She's protecting me.
You know what? They brought her in for questioning.
And guess what, Joe? She didn't break.
- You don't get it, James.
- What don't I get? - Please enlighten me.
- Well, I'll tell you.
My guy, Charlie, saw FBI windbreakers coming for re-questioning on the Lobos transport.
They're trying to link you, Tommy, and Angela to Lobos and Sandoval.
Well, that's funny, Joe.
You know why? Because you and I sat in an office, and you were colluding with me and Tommy to kill Sandoval, not Angela.
Yeah, and my life has turned into a fucking hell because I care enough to protect you.
Well, listen to this one.
It doesn't matter if it's me or Angela that's implicated.
Charlie also saw Saxe talking to Terry Silver.
Silver's back? And Silver links all of us to Sandoval through Angela.
[EXHALES.]
- So if you won't burn her - Which I won't.
Then we only got one other shot.
Tommy.
- I should fucking kill you.
- Listen to me.
Okay, it works.
You tell the Feds that Teresi called Tommy, told him Sandoval was in the Manhattan Correctional Center.
Tommy told dear old Dad to merk Sandoval.
That version leaves us all out of it, me, you, and Angela.
If Terry Silver talks, he looks like a fucking liar.
And I know what you're going to say.
- You'll never flip on Tommy.
- Which I won't, but you would.
How do I know we can trust you? You would obviously protect your daughter first.
That's my flesh and blood, not some fucking delusional fairy tale.
I thought you were smarter than that.
You're getting played.
Come on.
You have to let this Angela thing go.
[SCOFFS.]
Bring me anything else you find out.
I don't have time for lunch today.
- What's the emergency? - John Mak came to the salon.
- I'm sorry he bothered you - Thank God he did.
You have to take the deal they're offering.
It's your only way out.
- It's not that easy.
- Yes, it is.
You just sign their little piece of paper and tell them whatever they want.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
But this decision isn't just about what you want now.
It's about Papi, and Junior, and me.
You got to think about your family.
You got to think about your career that you've worked so hard on.
Are you kidding me? You don't think I've been thinking about this from the beginning? My career is over, Paz, no matter what I do.
I have to start over entirely.
Then you start over, without Jamie, without any of that.
- It's not about Jamie.
- It's always about Jamie.
Ever since he came back into your life.
But what is gonna happen when you lie for him, hmm? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
- - You got to save yourself.
At least you'll be safe.
I mean, we'll be together.
I'm trying to get out of it, Paz, okay? I think I have a way.
Can you trust me? [SOMBER MUSIC.]
What are you doing here? You know we can't be seen together.
Angie, cálmate.
I took necessary precautions.
- What happened with Proctor? - It's handled.
How about Dre? - It's handled.
- Okay, now we just wait, see how your plan plays out.
[EXHALES.]
So, Angela what do we do when this is over? Jamie, are we still the dream? [SOFT MUSIC.]
As long as you're you, and I'm me, we're always gonna be running from something.
Is this the ending you wanted? What if it's the new beginning? - We tried that.
- Yeah, but not like this.
Now we know the best and worst parts of each other.
It's better than the dream.
It's real.
When you're standing here in front of me, it feels possible.
But the world outside tells the truth.
[SCOFFS.]
It's like what Tasha said before, right? I always save myself, and so do you.
But now, we're saving each other.
Let's save each other.
You should go.
I'll see you when it's over.
When it's over.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- This is a great day, right? - Finally.
Man, finally breaking ground to honor Raina.
Very exciting.
And yet, still not as exciting as the announcement for your gubernatorial campaign.
Yeah, about that.
I'm going to postpone my announcement.
I don't want to distract from Raina's legacy.
No, Rashad, we made a deal.
We said that the coverage you got for the announcement would be a boon for our project.
- That was the original agenda.
- But? There are rumblings of a federal investigation into Tommy Egan.
And that could detract from us, this project, which is very important.
Now listen here, if they ask you to, you need to cooperate with them fully.
Nigga, you from this hood.
You want me to snitch on my last remaining day one? If you don't, then both of our careers are on the line.
And any of this shit blows back onto you, then I'm gonna have to cooperate with them if they ask me to.
- I promise you - They won't give me a choice, James.
- Listen to me, Rashad.
- Listen, I know how this goes.
Rashad, listen to me! Now, I just said it won't get to that.
Everything's under control.
Fucking take a deep breath.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You have my word, I want you to get up on that stage, and give these people your word, Governor Tate.
[SCOFFS.]
MAN: [INDISTINCT.]
All right.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
MAN: Here he is, Councilman Tate, from Queens! [APPLAUSE.]
Ladies and gentleman, before I introduce my partner of the Queens Child Project, James St.
Patrick, I would like to make an announcement of my own.
It is with great honor that I declare my bid for governor of New York in this year's upcoming election.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
I'm throwing my hat into the ring to become the first elected black governor of this great state of New York! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Without further ado, my dear partner, James St.
Patrick.
Thank you, Rashad.
And there's no doubt that you and I will be making history together.
It's been a long road to get to this groundbreaking.
Through my grief, I made mistakes, perhaps even made some enemies along the way.
But I can assure you, it was all in pursuit of keeping a part of my baby girl alive.
Our baby girl.
My wife, Tasha, joins me today in this fight.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
We are both here in the fight, and we finally feel that we've come to a place where we can say that the fight has been won.
This center will serve as a safe haven.
For parents, for children.
It will serve by giving opportunities to people away from the streets.
Programs that I wish I had when I was growing up.
When I was the age of these kids, to make my road a lot easier.
So that no father, no no mother, should ever have to bury their child due to violence, crime, and drugs ever again.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
GHOST: Thank you, guys.
All right, let's start digging.
Children, come on up! One at a time, come on, step up, come on, come on.
Don't bite me, don't bite me.
Get ready, one, two, three.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
- What the hell? - When were you gonna to tell me that Terry Silver was back in town, Tash? - Who told you that? - It don't make no never mind.
Did you know? [SCOFFS.]
I didn't know anything until this very minute.
You see that, Tasha? I I don't know if I can fucking believe you.
Are you breaking team, huh? - Is that what you're trying to do here? - Are you kidding me? What, I'm I'm I'm going to run off with Terry Silver? You must be fucking tripping, Ghost.
Well, you can't run off with him, because he's working with the Feds.
Tasha, just stay the fuck away from Terry Silver.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I will.
- Good.
- Can I go now? [ENGINE TURNS OVER.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
TOMMY: Come in! It's open! Hey, LaKeisha.
Thank you for coming back.
You cleaned up the place.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, a little bit.
About that Oh come come on, come here, have a seat.
[SIGHS.]
I I I bought wine.
You want a glass of wine? I'm good.
I wanted to talk to you about earlier.
I know I don't look like it, but I used to be that guy, dipping in my own product.
Since we've been back together, I ain't that guy no more.
But this morning, I I was that.
Because your dad's dead.
I'm so sorry, Tommy.
How do you know that? I didn't snoop, I promise.
This lawyer from the government, Cooper Saxe, he came by my place What that motherfucker want? He ask you about me? He ask you to turn on me? - Is that it? - No.
He wants you to flip on Ghost.
And Tommy, he said if I can't convince you, then they're gonna file charges against me.
And if I go to jail, then CPS is going to take Cash.
Fuck, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna let them do that.
You can't stop them.
I mean, I know you ain't no snitch, Tommy.
But I don't see it no other way.
I mean, come on.
After all that Ghost has put you through? Does he even deserve your loyalty? Tommy, the lawyer said he killed your pops.
That's a lie.
They'll say anything to get you to talk.
Hey, since we've been back together, I've always had your back, right? Even with all this crazy shit that's popped off.
Have I kept my word? You threw me out this morning.
And I said I was sorry.
And you said that you was down for anything.
But if you're not If you ain't you should snitch.
LaKeisha, you should save yourself, save your business, save your son.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
'Keisha, I wouldn't even blame you.
But if you stay I promise I'll protect you and Cash.
We'll be family.
But you got to be all in.
Okay.
I'm all in.
[EXHALES.]
- Yo, you good? - Yeah, I'm good.
You called me to borrow my vest.
Who the fuck put a target on your back? Fucking Alicia, dog.
First she demoted me, then she sent two hitters to kick in my door and try to kill me.
My daughter and my baby moms was in there.
She locked up.
Why would she get you shot up? I don't know, okay? I don't know.
But I'm leaving tonight, where no one can find me.
So I need you to call the Primeras and collect the money, and I need you to get as much cash as I can, - and get the fuck out of here.
- Money ain't your problem.
If you right, and Alicia looking for you, she gonna find you.
Look.
Ghost is fucking a federal prosecutor.
She wants me to say that Alicia ordered all those hits.
I agreed to say what she wants, but I ain't gonna say it.
When I get in there, I'ma tell the truth, that Ghost and Tommy are the ones that planned all the shit that she's talking about.
- What? - She don't know.
So when Ghost and Tommy get picked up, that solves everything, man.
All my problems get handled.
I can just come back when shit cool down.
So you telling me you a goddamn snitch? Bro, I got a daughter I got to protect.
You feel me? So, you got a better plan? Broc, you say he went on the run out of town, right? - Yeah, yeah.
- Something about him catching a body? Why you ain't try reaching out to him instead of snitching? You know he would help you hide out.
Yeah, I tried reaching out.
The first person I called, but he ain't answer, bro.
Look, all I got is you and Spanky, bro.
So you gonna give me this money or not? [TENSE MUSIC.]
I got you.
Respect, man.
Let me get that.
Ay, yo, you hear from Broc, tell him I said what up.
All right, done deal, I got you, it's easy.
I got you.
How did you know about the RICO, Terry? You keep saying you want a new life with me, but you won't even tell me the truth.
The Feds believe that James had AUSA Sandoval killed with Angela's help.
When she told me that Mike was arrested and being held at the Manhattan Correction Center, she broke the rules.
But it's not just that you've been asked to make a statement, is it? You've been asked to get me to turn.
- I volunteered, Tasha.
- What? Working with the Feds is the only way for me to have the credibility to save you.
Tell the Feds everything you know about James.
You don't owe him anything.
I can't send the father of my children to prison.
If we're ever going to have a real chance at being together, you're gonna need to say that Angela never told you about Mike Sandoval or the Manhattan Correctional Center.
- But I already said she did.
- What about Proctor? I mean, he's got dirty clients, burn him.
Blame it on him.
Terry, you let me down before.
Please, don't let me down again.
Okay? [SOFT MUSIC.]
Please.
[MOANS.]
Yes.
TASHA: [HEAVY BREATHING.]
Yes [RAIN PATTERING.]
Come on.
You ain't gonna shoot me in broad daylight.
- No? - Plus, if I was on some bullshit, you'd be dead by now.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, yeah? I know some shit that'll save your life.
What? Dre is about to snitch on you and Ghost.
He planning to meet with a Fed later tonight.
You got some fucking balls coming down here and snitching on your right-hand man.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I ain't gonna sit in the fucking rain.
Get in the car.
Why should I trust you? 'Cause I'm the reason you still got a connect.
That right? How you mean? I gave Kanan the drop on Jason.
If it wasn't for me, Dre and Ghost would have smoked that Serbian nigga.
Ghost? What's Ghost got to do with it? Ghost made a deal with Dre.
Ghost killed Diego, Dre killed Jason.
I told Kanan, and he stopped the hit on your boy.
- I was down with Kanan.
- Yeah, I was, too.
Look, I understand everything you saying.
But what I can't wrap my head around is why you'd come here and tell me this.
What's your angle? Kanan said if anything happened to him, I should come eat with you.
You got drugs and no people.
Right now, I got people and no drugs.
Me and you got a common enemy.
Dre's a fucking rat.
And if we work together, we can get rid of him.
- What's your plan? - I already set it up.
And he gonna be wearing a vest, so headshots only.
[CHUCKLES.]
I like that.
I can see why Kanan fucked with you.
All right, look, I'm in.
Jump out the ride, man.
I gotta make a call.
It's fucking raining.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
This is bullshit.
[LINE TRILLING.]
[CAR DOOR SHUTS.]
Hey, look, I got a line on Dre.
I I'ma clip him, but I know we're all supposed to be on the same team, so I just thought I would share.
Well, what, you got a fucking better idea? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Angela! Angela! [PHONE KEYS CLACKING.]
Where the fuck are you, yo? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[DRAMATIC HIP-HOP MUSIC.]
[YELPS.]
[GUNSHOTS.]
Uh-huh! [INDISTINCT RAP LYRICS.]
[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY.]
Come on, motherfuckers! Come on, motherfuckers! [INDISTINCT RAP LYRICS.]
Come on! [YELLS.]
Get in if you want to live.
- Andre Coleman.
- [GRUNTS.]
I'm here on behalf of AUSA Angela Valdes.
If you sign implicating the Jimenez Cartel in the pre-agreed charges, I can take you into protection now.
Or I could let you back outside.
Tommy.
Tommy! Why the fuck you ain't take the shot? I can give you some more time to think about it.
Fuck it then, man! Let's go.
[PHONE BUZZES.]
That's right, you little bitch.
Shit! You let him fucking get away, Tommy, man! You should have shot him in the fucking face! I feel bad I ever even liked that nigga.
- What the fuck, Tommy? - Y'all want to eat, right? Let's get you boys some weight to move.
We back in business.
Come on.
Hurry up, Mister Mak, Mister Saxe.
Well, looks like a motion to quash the subpoena of a one Deleterious Silver.
This is his lawyer, Miss Otombe.
Your client was cooperating with us.
Your Honor, what's Mister Hamilton doing here? Mister Hamilton has informed me that the government has a witness, Andre Coleman, who stipulates that the murders of Felipe Lobos and their former colleague, Mike Sandoval, were ordered by Alicia Jimenez, who they have in custody.
Your Honor, this is the first we're hearing of this.
If they already know Alicia Jimenez ordered the murders, then they no longer need my client since he has no connection to her.
What information could he possibly provide? Your client already told us he heard the information from AUSA Angela Valdes.
That's why Mister Hamilton is over there, grinning like the Cheshire cat.
I object to the characterization of my face, Your Honor, and I'm only here as an interested party.
Well, what about it, Miss Otombe? Did your client tell Mister Mak he heard about Sandoval's whereabouts from AUSA Valdes or not? It wouldn't be the first time a witness felt pressured by the DOJ to make a statement under duress.
- That's bullshit.
- Mister Mak.
Testifying for the prosecution will harm my client's ability to continue his practice in criminal law, Your Honor.
What potential defendant will trust him if he's working for the other side? I sympathize.
I see your reasoning.
- Your Honor - But Mister Silver is still an officer of the court.
He has to appear and tell the truth, no matter what.
And where is your client right now, Miss Otombe? He should have been here half an hour ago.
What the fuck, John? You're leaving? Angela never pulled that recommendation she gave me for the DC job.
I got it, and I'm out of here.
Come on, you can't bail on me now, leave me standing here with my dick in my hand.
I know we lost our leverage on Angela with the Sandoval murder, but we still got a witness against Egan and St.
Patrick.
- Who? - Maria Suarez.
She called me today.
She she saw St.
Patrick out in Queens, and she's pretty fucking worked up.
And we we still have Teresi's testimony on tape.
Yeah, but Teresi's dead, and it's not gonna be admissible in court.
Wha There are other ways to use it.
We just we have to be creative.
Come on, look, I'm going to call Proctor, and then I'm gonna go for a ride and stir shit up.
You in? I'm fucking out of here.
This is bullshit, man.
You're letting them win.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
Good luck, Saxe.
[INDISTINCT TV CHATTER.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- Who the fuck is that? - I don't know.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[WHISPERS.]
'Keisha, turn that shit off! Go hide in the back.
Fuck you want? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Oh, I just wanted to extend my condolences in person about your old man.
Too bad your former business partner, St.
Patrick and his girlfriend, had your dad murdered.
That's a lie.
Angela knew Teresi was a snitch.
See, a guy in our office, John Mak, told her in exchange for getting a new job in DC.
God damn, you all are dirty.
Sure, we color outside the lines.
But Angela knew, and you know she shared it with St.
Patrick.
That makes her the dirtiest of them all.
Teresi was a snitch.
He deserved to die, no matter how it happened.
You sure about that? Would it change anything if you knew who he was snitching on? [RECORDER BEEPS.]
TERESI: Mike Sandoval? Tommy didn't have nothing to do with it.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
Because honestly, Tommy's kept me at arm's length about anything important.
I got nothing on him.
But I can give you St.
Patrick, Ghost, on a stake.
[RECORDER CLICKS.]
If it were me, I'd seriously consider flipping on Angela and Ghost.
I mean, they've certainly turned on you.
Your father loved you.
The tape proves it.
If you got people expecting you somewhere I would go find them.
[SCOFFS.]
I'll, uh fuck off.
Say hi to LaKeisha for me.
[LOCK CLICKS.]
[RECORDER BEEPS.]
TERESI: Mike Sandoval? Tommy didn't have nothing to do with it.
Because honestly, Tommy's kept me at arm's length about anything important.
I got nothing on him.
[RECORDER BEEPS.]
TERESI: Mike Sandoval? Tommy didn't have nothing to do with it.
Because honestly, Tommy's kept me at arm's length about anything important.
I got nothing on him.
You did it, right? [SOFT SOB.]
Your dad.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
That's why you said you always hurt people that love you? He told me Before I did it.
He said he didn't snitch on me.
I didn't believe him.
You couldn't.
You understand why I did what I did? Yeah.
And that's why we had to get away from Ghost and Tasha, Tommy.
Ghost was supposed to be your family.
He could've come to me if he knew about Teresi.
He didn't say a goddamn word.
And then, this morning, when I told him that I did it [TENSE MUSIC.]
I gotta go out.
I know.
Tommy.
I'll be here when you get back.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
- Tasha, come in.
- Thanks.
Have a seat.
Can I get you anything? I'm having white, but I can open a bottle of red.
- No, white is fine.
- Great.
[LOCK CLICKS.]
Go ahead and throw your things anywhere.
Mm-hmm, thanks.
Convincing Terry not to show up to testify was a gamble, and a much riskier plan than having him perjure himself.
He must care about you a lot.
That wasn't my plan.
He was supposed to show.
I think that was your plan with Ghost.
Tasha, that's not true.
How else did Ghost know that Silver was back? I only told you.
I haven't talked to Jamie since this morning.
Maybe Silver left town again? I didn't tell him.
TOMMY: Oh, so you didn't tell Ghost that Teresi was talking to the Feds, either? [TENSE MUSIC.]
Yes, that I told Jamie.
To protect you, to protect everyone.
I told Jamie to tell you about it.
- What's going on here? - What do you think? - Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
- Well, Ghost didn't say shit to me.
He went to Vincent Ragni.
And Vincent had me kill Teresi.
Your buddy, "Ballsacks," paid me a little visit.
He played me a tape where Teresi was talking about Ghost.
Didn't say shit about me.
And that's why you two broke team.
- No - To protect yourselves.
That's not true! You don't know how long I've been waiting for this.
It's time for you to go, Angela.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
How did Vincent prove to you that Teresi was snitching? Pictures, did he show you pictures? Yeah, the pictures that you gave Ghost.
You need to get those back, because you can see Saxe's desk in them.
I'm the one who took those photos of those pictures on his desk.
They'll trace back to me, then to you.
Saxe won't have any reason to believe that Jamie would go to the Italians with that information.
- [WHIMPERS.]
- No, Tommy.
I can't believe I'm saying this shit.
Go, Tommy.
We'll deal with this bitch later.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Tasha, I swear, I didn't have Jamie kill Silver.
If he broke team, he did that on his own.
Would you be surprised if he did? [SCOFFS.]
[DOOR OPENS, SHUTS.]
[SIGHS.]
No.
Tommy.
I'm going to pour you the biggest goddamn shot you ever had in your life.
That's all right.
I can't stay.
Another time, then.
Look, I know I asked a lot of you.
But you did this family right.
So because of that, whatever happened before is behind us.
Where'd you get 'em? Huh? Them pictures of Teresi talking.
Does it matter? I killed my father for you, for your family.
Tell me the truth.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Your friend, black guy in a suit.
He gave you those pictures so you would kill Teresi for ratting? No.
He wanted you to do it.
Let me get you those photos.
You got interesting taste in friends, Tommy.
And I understand.
It's hard finding people we can trust to go the hard way, people who get it, get this life, people who see in you what no one else wants to see That we're monsters.
Anyway.
At least it's over.
Not yet.
One more thing I gotta do.
CHARLES: I don't have good news for you, Angela.
The case against James St.
Patrick may not be over.
A friend of mine was able to slip me a witness statement from a few weeks ago.
Jesus, I thought it was over.
I thought we'd won.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Who's the witness? Have you ever heard the name Maria Suarez? No.
Well, according to her statement, Maria and her boyfriend, Miguel, were kidnapped by Tommy Egan and some of his guys.
They were taken to the basement of the Truth nightclub, where James St.
Patrick, who Tommy's guys called Ghost, killed Miguel.
- Did Maria escape? - No.
She said Ghost let her go.
And there's something else.
You were right about, um, Terry Silver.
He is missing.
But how did you know? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[ELEVATOR DINGS.]
James.
The case isn't over.
They have a witness against you.
And she is willing to testify.
You hear that? She, a woman.
A woman who could identify you as Ghost.
Now, who the hell could that be? See, I know how Tasha felt when you were inside.
She would not send you back there.
For the sake of the kids.
Look, listen, there's only one explanation.
Okay, there's only there's only one woman left.
Now, you know I hate to be wrong.
But sometimes, I really hate to be right.
So what are you gonna do about it, James? Hey.
Why did you want to meet here? Just been thinking a lot, Angie, about how we got caught making out in this stairwell, about that last slice of pizza I took you to get before you left for Choate About how long I've loved you.
I've always loved you.
Even when I hated you, I still loved you, too.
I've always loved you, too, Jamie.
What did you mean today when you said "I always save myself, and so do you"? [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
I meant that we both look out for our own survival.
And sometimes that means that I hurt you.
Sometimes that means you hurt me, too.
Proctor said the case against me isn't over.
He said there's a witness against me, Angie.
Said the witness is a woman.
Is that woman you, Angie? Is that how you hurt me for your own survival? That's why you asked me here? To figure out if I was testifying against you? Are you? No.
Then who's the woman? [POUNDS LOCKER.]
I thought we were supposed to be honest with each other.
If we're being honest with each other, Jamie, what the hell happened to Terry Silver, hm? Did you kill him? You don't trust me.
And you don't trust me.
Did you kill Terry Silver? It's over.
If we can't be honest with each other, there's nowhere we can go.
I know we said that we would get back together when this was over, but I think this, us, needs to finally be done as well.
Good-bye, Jamie.
[PHONE RINGING.]
I didn't do it, Angie.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
I didn't kill him.
I want to believe you.
So believe me.
[TENDER MUSIC.]
[TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[MUFFLED GRUNTING.]
I love you, Angie.
[GASPS.]
[SILENCED GUNSHOT.]
[GASPS.]
[GASPING.]
[YELLS.]
- Jamie, Jamie.
- I'm here, shh, shh.
- Jamie - I'm here.
Come here, come here.
GHOST: No, no, no.
Angie? Angie!
