Hey, Julia, it's Teddy.
My father was murdered.
The person responsible said that you and Paul were next.
I can destroy you just as easily as
I could've killed you tonight.
You head out, slip our surveillance.
Next time I see you, I'll kill you.
Do you fish, Frankie?
- No. - Well, I do.
And I caught something big.
Come and see.
Give up Buckley and pray for a quick death.
'Cause what these niggas plan to do to you,
why do that to yourself?
Where the fuck she at?!
You can kill me if you want to,
or we can stop wasting time and save your wife.
Louie!
No... No!
Jerome, don't leave me.
Jerome.
I need this done quick and quietly,
and without notifying the police.
Surely, Mr. Saint.
I'll treat him like I did my own father.
Excuse me.
I'll take him.
Wide. There we go.
I'm-I'm so sorry, Mrs. Saint,
but we have to be alone with your husband for a while.
But...
Uh...
in a day or two, he'll be ready for you.
Jerome.
No, Jerome. Jerome!
Jerome! No, no, no, Jerome!
Jerome.
No, Jerome!
Jerome, no, no, no, Jerome!
No, Jerome!
Jerome! Jerome!
No, get off me! No!
No. No. No.
You want me to call Buckley or somebody?
The war is over.
Ain't it?
I can stay if you want.
No, you go ahead.
He went into the Sherman Oaks Galleria,
- parked, never came out. - Okay.
We know what he needs.
He'll either surface again, or he won't.
Either way, we're fine.
You call me if you hear anything more.
Problem?
No.
Okay. I have a question for you, then.
You have $73 million and no food in your refrigerator?
No decent furniture, no art,
stained carpet, chipped paint.
It's a rental.
Oh. Okay.
So, no actual house either.
- For now. - Hmm.
Hey...
Jules.
Hey.
Hey, Teddy.
- Um... - Julia.
I didn't realize the two of you had reconnected.
When did that happen?
Right.
- Congratulations, by the way. - Thank you.
Uh, do you mind giving us a minute, please, Parissa?
She already knows everything.
Okay.
What happened?
Why did your mule kill your father?
- He thinks I stole his money. - Did you?
I seized ill-gotten gains on behalf
of the United States government.
Wow.
Okay, well, this is easy, then.
Give it back.
I can't.
You haven't figured out yet that the more you're worth,
the more of a danger you are?
You really think I don't know that?
I think if you did, you would fucking walk away from this.
But you won't.
You'll double down and tell yourself
it's your-your patriotic duty.
Shit, Teddy.
But I know that's not what's really driving you.
And it's only gonna get worse
now that he's dead.
You ruined our family
trying to prove something to that tyrant.
The only good thing you ever gave me was our son.
And now you're trying to kill him.
Give Franklin back the money, Teddy.
Fix this...
or I will fix it for you.
How are you gonna fix it for me?
A public execution.
Franklin.
Wanda.
Where's Leon?
Uh, he said he might be late.
He's gonna drop Louie home.
Okay.
Leon is with Louie?
Yes.
And Jerome?
Did he suffer?
No.
I've always thought Julia was a bitch with a log up her ass,
but she has a point.
You really don't think that if my son was in danger,
I wouldn't do something to protect him?
Honestly... I don't know.
They're fine.
They're protected.
You believe you have nothing to fear from anyone but your own.
I believe that that money...
...belongs to us.
Belongs to us?
It belongs to you.
Or were you planning on giving me half of it?
Is that what you want?
Teddy, I care about you.
You're fierce
and ambitious.
But I'm not in this to just tag along.
I'm at risk, too.
If I don't have a purpose,
I am going to get very bored
and go looking for it elsewhere.
I'm giving you the keys to my lock.
You should use them.
Cissy.
You, uh...
You want to come in?
Yeah.
Jerome loved you.
I never seen him as much as make a passing nod to another woman,
even the ones he was with.
But he loved you.
It's gonna be all I can do
to not climb down in that grave with him.
This has to stop.
With us.
All of this
is Franklin's fault.
He certainly did his share, but we all played a part.
- Hmm. - Between the money
and the white man and his war...
Hmm. Mm-hmm.
...ain't no one going home with clean hands.
No, but I'm the one who lost my husband,
my whole fucking world.
I lost him, too,
and my husband.
I don't want to lose anyone else.
I understand.
You still got things you care about.
I don't.
Go get the guys and take that to the cookhouse.
What's my credit line, Lee?
As good as my life.
Look, um, I need a favor.
I need half a million.
And I'm not sure when I can get it back to you.
What's it for?
The price of freedom.
Still can't believe he gone.
He was forever, you know?
Could never really imagine him not being there.
Still can't.
We all on the killing floor, Lee.
Shit could have happened to anybody.
Look,
he was my blood, all right?
And I loved him.
But he never should have broke away from us.
None of this shit ever should've happened.
Look, I'll be back tomorrow to get the cash,
if it's all right.
Yeah.
Thanks, Lee.
I owe you.
No!
Jerome, hey, hey.
No!
Wake up!
Fuck!
No!
Fuck you!
Fuck you! Fuck you!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You crazy, bitch? Shoot me, nigga.
Shoot me, little nigga!
What the fuck you waiting for? Yo, what the fuck happening here?
Chill out. - Motherfucker. Skully!
Man, calm your asses down. That's Louie Saint.
Watch out, nigga. Get the fuck... Oh, you gonna push me?
Come on, then, nigga. You want to get me, come on.
Shoot the fucking gun. Skully!
Get your niggas!
Why you still standing there, nigga?
Shoot the fucking gun!
What the fuck you...?
Man, she drove up on the curb and started cussing at Koko.
Look, man, y'all go.
Come on, Ms. Saint.
Go, man.
Mama, what's wrong?
You said I could come if I wanted.
Of course. Have a seat.
Just a little...
How'd you do it?
Do what?
Keep peace in your heart
after your girl and your baby was killed.
'Cause I know they're not gone.
And I don't want to taint the love we have.
But ain't...
ain't you so mad, you want to burn this fucking house down?
Hell yeah.
All the time.
But they won't let me.
Franklin.
Franklin. Franklin.
Franklin. Franklin!
Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up! Wake up. Wait, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no. It was a dream. It was a dream. You're dreaming.
You're dreaming, okay? You're dreaming. Stop.
- Stop, stop, stop. Hey. - I can't breathe.
Calm down. Come here.
- Aah! I can't fucking breathe! - You got to calm down, hey.
Hey, what's happening to you?
Has this happened to you before?
- I don't know. One-- once maybe. - Okay. Okay.
I'm here. Come here, come here.
You're all right. You're fine.
Listen to me. You're-you're alive.
You're-you're safe. You're with me, okay?
- Okay. - What the fuck is happening to me?
Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Nothing. There is a plan,
and we're carrying out that plan.
There's nothing wrong with you, you hear me? You're fine.
You're fine. You're fine.
You're fine.
I'm not fine.
Oh, Egypt.
I got you. I got you.
- It's your turn. - Oh.
Ah.
- What the fuck is this? - No.
I'm a friend.
A friend with a gun at my kitchen table?
...we'll need to get away.
Ah.
This is too much.
I know.
Maybe this should be the end...
for us.
Maybe you shouldn't know where we go.
Yeah, maybe.
Oh, you're here. Dope.
Thank you. It felt like time.
Yeah. What's all that?
Everything I'm gonna need for my new place.
You leaving me?
No, Lee.
But I'm leaving the PJs.
Well, goddamn, we gonna talk about it?
We gonna talk about those guns?
Lee, look.
In a perfect world, I'd be out of here today, right now.
Head to Ghana with my husband.
We could raise a family there, a house full of kids.
But instead you sitting here, getting ready for war?
- Baby, we've been through this. - We have.
But...
all I see
is us headed to the same grave Jerome gonna get.
I see it, and I'm about ready to change direction.
Look, I just need to straighten some things out.
Then I can pass the PJs on to the next man.
I wish I could believe that, Lee.
You remember Danielle's older brother?
- Ronald? - Yeah.
Remember he paid us $20 to see how long
he could strangle us before we passed out?
Yeah. I saw you, and I knew, "Don't do it,"
but it was $20.
Every time my throat would do that whistle thing, I...
I'd just flash right back to that.
- Right. - And then it just...
and then it just got more and more.
Like when Keith and 'em locked us down in the basement
with my Uncle Quick?
Like Lawrence and his brothers.
But a thousand times worse.
I did everything to get myself out of that,
and then, bam, there I go, right back.
Louie, you know this wasn't your fault.
It ain't?
How the fuck did I get here? Again?
Now I lost Jerome.
And the worst part?
I keep forgetting he died.
Yeah...
Oh, this nigga.
- Louie? - What do you want?
Excuse me?
What...
do you want with me?
I've been paging you.
Yeah, and I haven't called you back,
so that must mean that I'm busy.
Busy or dead.
Busy doing what?
Excuse you, Mr. White Man,
but if I say I'm busy, it means I'm fucking busy.
This isn't a request.
Louie.
I heard you.
I can meet you
over at that Fosters parking lot at 3:00.
I need to see you now.
I'll see you then.
I heard you were leaving us.
I think I have to.
I understand.
Well, if you need an apartment,
I'm sure there's one at one of our buildings.
Uh, for real?
Mm-hmm.
You've already done so much for me, though, Ms. Saint.
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
What about taking over my position
at the shelter full-time?
I-I don't know what to say.
Say yes.
You'd be doing me a favor.
I can't be there right now.
I don't think I'll ever be there again.
Really?
What would you do then?
I mean, like, when all this is over?
Oso!
What's up, man?
No more waiting, moreno.
We're moving tomorrow.
I need the documents and the money now.
Well, yeah, I got the money, but the documents--
they take what they take.
Oso, what the fuck happened?
I need your help because the DEA busted me.
What?
They took all my money and forced me to help them.
Help them with what?
They want Teddy. Wanted you, too.
Oso, what the fuck, man?!
How long you been talking to 'em?
They got me just after you left.
They have photos of Louie.
But you're clean, moreno, I swear.
Jesus fucking Christ.
It's not only them.
You remember that picture I showed you?
You knew he was KGB, right?
Yeah. What about him?
He came at me, too.
Broke into my house, threatened my family.
Listen, they want Teddy.
Two days from now, they want his cocaine in the warehouse.
Oh, yeah?
And Ruben plans to kill him there?
I don't think so.
He knows about the DEA,
and I guess he wants them to arrest him.
But the DEA guy-- he's getting frustrated,
and he's about to pull the plug and take me to jail.
So everybody wants Teddy, huh?
DEA, KGB and me?
Yes.
And I'm at the fucking crossroad.
So, if you want him, it needs to happen now, moreno.
Like this.
Fine.
Think I know a way to buy you another day with the DEA.
But, Oso, listen to me very fucking carefully.
I need Teddy, and I need him right fucking now.
Yeah, I haven't seen him in days,
since you killed his father.
Motherfucker's hiding like a cat hunting a bird.
But lucky for us, I'm that bird.
Teddy's no pinche cat.
He will smell a trap, you know.
Yeah, you're right about that.
You're just gonna have to make him believe
it was him that set me up.
Right?
I'm sorry, moreno.
You did what you had to do.
He's definitely losing it.
The kid actually found his old man and murdered him
while on the phone with Teddy.
The nigger murdered his father?
Just cut his fucking throat.
Teddy could hear him choking on his own blood.
Oh, Jesus.
I like Teddy.
He's no bleeding heart, and he was a patriot.
Since he's been on this mission, he's gotten ambitious.
- The money he stole could be useful. - Yeah.
And the business still has potential.
I don't want to know anything about all that.
That's your business.
Everything is problematic.
Especially when you add in the KGB.
They want to put us on the nightly news.
Sounds like you got some cracks to fill, so fill 'em.
What happened?
Business disagreement. What you need?
Franklin.
Why?
'Cause he murdered my father.
So all you got to do is point.
Me and Franklin don't socialize.
I need you to fix that.
Fuck you.
Don't forget that you work for me, you sell my drugs.
You make a lot of fucking money.
All I'm asking for is Franklin.
Tomorrow...
I put my husband in the ground,
and I got Franklin to thank for that.
Jerome's dead?
That's right.
So,
seems like you and me-- we got something in common.
After the funeral,
I'll do whatever the fuck you want me to do--
slit Franklin neck to nuts, if I get the chance.
Until then,
leave me alone.
I think about Jerome
and how sweet he was,
how much everybody says he loved Louie.
And I can't help but think about losing you.
Well, I'm right here with you, Mrs. Simmons.
Yeah.
But just a few days ago, Jerome was right there with Louie.
I'm scared, Lee.
The fuck was that?
Y'all may pay y'all respect to the Saint family.
- Oso. - Hey.
Sorry for your loss, amigo.
Uh-huh.
Listen, I've got some good news for you.
Make sure you come to the repast after.
We'll talk there. All right?
I'm sorry, baby.
Louie, um...
I'm-I'm so sorry.
He didn't page you?
Ask for your gun at the junkyard?
Nah.
All right.
