[D-MAC] Previously on Force
- No! Leon!
- Look, Gianna, I-I'm sorry.
Get the fuck outta my house.
[GRUNTING]
- When you gonna handle D-Mac?
- We go after that kid right now,
and Tommy gon' blow all this shit up.
Fuck Tommy! I really need
to pull off a boss move
that's gonna show these niggas
that I deserve to be back in.
I was told you're the best hitter.
- Who's the target?
- Tommy fuckin' Egan.
Miguel, have you lost your fuckin' mind?
- You cannot keep me here.
- Fuck yeah, I can.
[IN SPANISH]
You're not my fuckin' sister.
[CHAN] You and Ortega
are business partners
until I tell you otherwise.
Wait. Can you guarantee me protection?
Tommy and CBI are taking over
the Viagra Triangle.
Those clubs belong to me.
Your luck's running out, Claudia.
Look at this as your last chance
to buy some more time.
You gonna tell the feds
everything I want them to know,
and you gonna get everything
from them that I wanna know.
Our office is beginning
the vetting process.
- What about Bobby?
- Bobby's good.
- [MAN] You've been served.
- [STACY] Divorce papers.
[DONNA] We are all excited
that you have decided
to run for mayor, Stacy.
All right, Rae.
Let's schedule this press conference
so that we can formally announce.
Yes, ma'am.
Who's that girl? Rae?
- I'm Rae Thompson.
- I'm Jayson.
[GUNFIRE]
- I'm okay.
- [TOMMY] Find that shooter.
Ortega! I got your shooter.
That hit from Marquez?
Has been motherfuckin' handled.

[DIAMOND] What the fuck?
[GAGS]
Fuck. Chavo.
Fuckin' Tommy.
Fuckers.
Oof. Motherfucker.
That was Ortega's move, for sure.
Yeah, payback for Mateo, loud and clear.
You know the DSDs is gonna want blood.
Yeah, and we got some
damage control to do.
Chavo's our biggest earner
on the Northwest Side.
It ain't nothin' we can't handle.
You know what?
Why don't you hit up the DSDs?
Just let 'em know that CBI
got they back, a hundred.
We keep the coalition strong.
Let 'em know we got them,
whatever they need.
Let me reach out to Izzy.
I'll get shit in order.
And I'll have him meet us here
in an hour.
Hour? All right. I'll be back here then.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Goddamn, you look good in the morning.
- How I got so lucky?
- Just the morning?
All the time, baby.
Mmm.
- [MOANS SOFTLY]
- [MIREYA SIGHS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Two guns?
That's actually for you.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah, really.
Something else happen?
I'm just taking the proper precautions.
Streets is a little heated
right now, that's all.
Mm.
Actually, Mireya, I'ma need you
to carry that with you wherever you go.
Just for a little while.
I mean, we doubled up security, but
until shit's settled down, I don't think
you should go nowhere but work and here.
Is that all right?
- I know the deal.
- Okay.
And I have shifts for the next
three days, so it should be easy.
Oh, shit.
Well, don't let 'em work you too hard.
[SIGHS]
Fuck, I don't wanna go.
I gotta get back out there.
I love you.
I love you too.

Oh! You scared me.
I figured you'd be gone by now.
Not a chance.
Just, uh, hydrating
before we get back in bed.
Oh, no.
I have to go to work.
Right.
What about that dinner?
I'd feel terrible if the only
meal we ever shared
was some mediocre fries
and a grilled cheese.
I got the hookup at the West Loop.
Name any spot, I can get us in.
I can't. [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY] Honestly.
You're just not really my
type beyond a one-night thing.
Thanks, though.
[SCOFFS SOFTLY]
Those motherfuckers tore shit up.
Now we gotta hit them punetas back.
Hard!
So wait, they ain't take no product?
There was nothing to take, blanquito.
We keep all our shit off site.
Don't worry, you're still gonna
get fuckin' paid
if that's what you worried about.
Whoa, whoa.
Nah, Iz, that's not why we asked
you to come by, man.
We wanted to make sure you know that CBI
and the coalition got your back,
and we'll do anything
to get you rebuilt.
You wanna do right by the DSDs?
Slice off Ortega's
little Mexican huevo
for being un mama bicho!
I feel you, but Ortega is
in solitary right now, so we
[TOMMY] We might be able
to make somethin' happen.
Between me and Diamond,
we got the resources to reach Ortega.
[IZZY] Good. 'Cause if not,
me and the rest of the crew
will start poppin' off
every motherfuckin' Marquez that we see.
Ha. Now as much as I like
the sound of that
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
take this first. All right?
This from CBI to the DSDs
and all y'all families.
Let 'em know that payback comin' soon.
Just keep your phone on.
Let us handle Ortega. And Izzy?
They come for one of us,
they come for all of us.
I'll be waitin'.
♪
[DOOR CLOSES]
Relax. I just told Izzy
what he needed to hear
to keep the DSDs quiet while
we figure out our next move.
Man, bullshit.
You thinkin' of ways to get
to Ortega as we speak.
Yeah, I am.
And why the fuck ain't you?
That's the question.
I mean, we both know Ortega
ain't gonna stop comin' back at us
unless we make that motherfucker
feel some pain.
Look, I'm trying to keep CBI
from making any more promises
that we can't keep,
because here we are.
And we're lucky the DSDs didn't lose
all they product in that hit
or fuck, we'd be more fucked.
[TOMMY] Yeah, you right.
They damn sure ain't gonna be able
to move weight like they could before.
Who's the next biggest gang
we got in the area?
That'd be the United Kings,
over in Brighton Park.
Cynthia?
The one and only.
Oh my gosh!
[LAUGHING]
Oh.
You look so good.
When'd you get here?
[IN SPANISH]
And he told me about
your new man, El Guero.
- Tommy?
- [CHUCKLING]
Hmm?
[IN SPANISH]
I'm not gonna judge you
for who you're sleeping with.
I'm just surprised you let
a drug dealer in those pants.
He must really have the goods, huh?
[LAUGHS] I don't know. I guess
he finally made me realize
it's not the job that defines the man.
[CYNTHIA] Hola, papi.
- Mireya.
- Ay.
[IN SPANISH]
Ay.
Flaca
[IN SPANISH]
I can't wait to meet him.
I invited you here,
so I could apologize for my actions.
For everything.
What I did, it, um
it was an overreaction.
That wasn't just
an overreaction, Miguel.
[IN SPANISH]
If I hadn't what?
- Huh?
- [QUIETLY] Shit.
Look, it was just too much, Yeya, okay?
I had just lost Ama
and then I find out about you and Tommy.
That shit pushed me over the edge.
I couldn't see a fuckin' thing.
[IN SPANISH]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
about is if you left me,
I'd have no family.
Mireya?
Por favor?
I did the only thing
that made sense to me, Yeya.
Miguelito.
Just because I'm with Tommy,
that doesn't mean I'd cut you
out of my life, okay?
I love you.
You're my brother. Okay?
But I also love Tommy.
[IN SPANISH]
[SIGHS]
I forgive you.
[PIG GRUNTING]
[MIREYA GASPS] What the hell?
[IN SPANISH]
Big Bertha. Huh, mamas?
Doesn't she look like she'd be
Tio Raffa's daughter?
- Yes!
- [BOTH LAUGH]
That's my pretty girl!
She's Miguel's baby,
and Miguel will break
a motherfucker's hands
if he fucks wit' you.
Yes. Yes, he will.
With your cute little nose.
Yes, he will.
[WHISPERS] This is the fucking worst.
[TENSE, OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, white devil bitch.
The moment your cona bodyguard
isn't here to protect you,
I'm gon' finish you off.
If you couldn't get the job done
with my back turned,
there's no fuckin' way
you'll get it done
with me staring you in the eyes.
Come for me, bitch.
I'm ready.
[VIC] You know what?
Giving the Albanians my bar,
that's not a good look for me, Tommy.
It's causing a problem with my guys.
And?
Toughen up, buttercup.
It was a business move.
And I don't wanna hear shit
out your rotten mouth
if it don't have something to do
with that, what's her name?
That fed bitch, Marks.
The one who wanna be mayor.
You understand?
Well, it's harder than you think.
I don't give a fuck
how hard it is, Victor.
Figure it out. Make it happen.
Because when I can't use you no more,
you done.
Like done done.
[SINGSONG] Done-done-done.
You understand?
Tick-fuckin'-tock, Vic.
Hey, get the fuck outta my face.
I got important shit
I gotta do right now.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Goddamn, D.
This mean we gettin' ready
to go to war or what?
Not yet.
But between Tommy and Ortega,
this shit can pop off at any second.
And I don't want you, me, or
the fellas to end up like Chavo.
All right. I'ma be real,
this whole Ortega situation
got trainwreck
written all over it, bro.
Yeah, it sure does.
And if that train does wreck,
we gon' need Kilo and the RDs
on our side, a hundred percent.
And that's why we need
to handle D-Mac today.
Uh, yeah. That's, uh
that's a problem, D.
We take out D-Mac right now,
after that Chavo hit,
and it won't just be Tommy
on our ass, bro.
It's gonna be our own niggas too.
They gon' be on our ass, D.
So I say we just hold off on that shit,
till this Marquez situation
is dealt with.
We don't have that much time.
[GUN COCKS]
Now I already know what to do.
We gon' have D-Mac
knock over the Nine-Sevens.
[SCOFFS] The Nine-Sevens?
Nigga, you talkin' 'bout them
crazy motherfuckers from Austin?
Yeah, nah.
- I don't see the fix, D.
- [DIAMOND] Hear me out.
Nobody fucks with the Nine-Sevens
because they got cops protectin'
their organization, right?
No. Nobody fucks with them Nine-Sevens
because they're crazier than
a motherfucker, like I said.
And that's my point.
But now that shit's poppin' off
A hit on them make it look like
niggas gettin' desperate.
- You right.
- Exactly.
So all you gotta do is sell it to D-Mac
that a hit on the Nine-Sevens is nothing
but a retaliation plan or some shit.
Then we put a call into the Nine-Sevens,
let 'em know the hit is happening.
D-Mac tries to hit, he gets bodied.
- Hm.
- We keep the coalition tight,
Kilo, RDs all included.
Goddamn, nigga, this shit might work.
Look at you.
Hey, you hittin' a new stride.
I'm proud of you, nigga.
Now, no one can sell this
to D-Mac like you.
You just gotta let him know
that none of this shit
comes back on CBI or us, ever.
I got you. I got you.
[GUN COCKS]
[DOOR LOCK BUZZES]
[INDISTINCT YELLING IN DISTANCE]
Uh, you stay here.
What's going on?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Keep moving, or I will have
your ass in solitary.
I'll be right outside the door
if you need me.
What the fuck do I need to do
to make this right?
Make it quick.
- [PHONE LINE RINGING]
- [CHAN] Claudia.
- Who is this?
- Don't play games, Ms. Flynn.
We know you've been working
with Tommy Egan and the Viagra Triangle.
Mr. Ortega does not appreciate this,
so he's pulled your protection.
- Have a nice day.
- No, no, no. You can't do this.
I am dead in here without your help.
I think you've misread
the situation, Ms. Flynn.
That's exactly the point.
[LINE BEEPS, CALL ENDS]
Fuck.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[GUN MAGAZINE CLICKING]
Oh, shit. In the flesh.
Lord Pablo.
Pleasure to meet you, my brother.
I'm sure that, uh, Diamond
started to inform you
that we about to make you
a special offer.
- We gonna
- Save your breath, guero.
United Kings is out.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
W-what you mean "out"?
We're out.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
All right, let me explain
something to you.
If you out, that means
you get none of our product.
You ain't get our product,
that means you get no cash.
No cash, you can't feed your soldiers,
you got no friends,
you got no protection.
So is you sure you out?
I know you ain't workin'
with the Insane Princes.
'Cause there's no coming back
from that, Pablo.
That'd be the end
of the United Kings in Chicago.
Not my decision.
We had a roundtable last night.
Nobody wants to be another
dead body in a cartel war.
It was unanimous. We ain't
fuckin' wit' your product.
Pablo, you need to recognize that CBI
is operating in the city in a new way.
We got a coalition
that will drive Ortega's ass
clean up outta Chicago,
and keep the streets
that our families earned
within our control.
So stay with us and keep the
coalition as strong as possible.
Neither of you can ever understand.
For us, a cartel war
doesn't stop in Chicago.
It'll hit our families in Mexico.
And that's a risk we won't take.
So we're takin' our chances alone.
Like I said, it's already been decided.

[TRAIN HORN BLARING]
[DRAMATIC HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
I got a job for you, nigga.
CBI business.
It's about fuckin' time.
Come on, talk to me. Tell me what it is.
You do this shit right, nigga,
and I promise you, you gonna be back in.
I'ma put you in the fold.
That's what I'm sayin', man.
You make enough noise,
the work gon' find you.
I been tellin' you, man.
What's the job, J?
I need you to hit the Nine-Sevens.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Boy, fuck that.
D.
That shit a suicide mission.
Yeah, that's why I'm not askin'
yo' Black ass.
Shut the fuck up, nigga.
I'm talkin' to D-Mac.
- Man, y'all niggas got
- This nigga right here
the motherfuckin' master
of chaos and shit, nigga.
And if you 'bout that shit for real, D,
this yo' chance, nigga.
I'm listenin'.
Now you know the Nine-Sevens
and them dirty cops,
they been robbin' niggas
for years, right?
I say it's time we move
them bitches out the way.
'Cause CBI need that territory
they got. Okay?
So I need you to hit these niggas,
and I'm talkin' 'bout hit
these niggas hard, D-Mac.
Steal all the motherfuckin'
money you can get your hands on.
Put these niggas down.
It's all a part
of a bigger plan, I promise you.
Now, you think you can do that shit?
I'm not fuckin' with that shit, gang.
A'ight, so, let's make this clear.
If I do this, I'm straight.
Like, I'm a hundred percent back in CBI?
Like, no if, ands,
or buts about it, right?
Bro, as long as don't nobody know
CBI got nothin' to do with it
you Gucci.

CBI or die.
Count me in.
See, I don't give a fuck
who I'm hittin'. You know?
Nigga like me gon' get that shit done.

Nine-Sevens, huh?
Nine-Sevens.
One fuckin' hit and this entire
section of the city cavin' in?
And Big Smurf tells me
that the Sons of Destruction
is thinkin' of bouncin' too?
Well, technically,
we didn't lose the DSDs.
They just down some bodies.
But we got enough work to cover
the North and the South Sides
to cover the loss of the United Kings,
and Che won't notice a damn thing.
Well, it still don't fix the fact
that Miguel basically
got the Near Northwest
and Southwest Side
back under his control without
lifting a goddamn finger!
Better than Che finding out
about Ortega.
We got enough to keep our operation
moving forward for Che.
I ain't worried about that.
We are gonna need more bodies to spare,
if we do go to war.
Yeah.
Yo, Diamond, who got bodies?
The Serbs.
Man, you gotta be fuckin' kidding me.
- [TOMMY] Nah.
- The Serbs?
They dry as a bone.
And Ortega killin' Mirkovic?
That gotta mean somethin'.
I mean, if they meet with us,
then we're dead on arrival.
Well, they don't meet with us.
They just meet with me.
I go alone.
Yeah, and no strap.
It's the only way this gonna work.
What you think?
- You crazy as hell.
- [TOMMY LAUGHS]
Fuck it. We need all the bodies
we can get.
You ain't wrong.
Just gonna need to borrow
a little product.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[STACY] Chicago needs a mayor
that can swing a sledgehammer
on the crime and drugs
that are flooding our streets,
and a leader who has the courage
to fight for our party's principles.
I am that candidate.
My record proves it.
That's why I'm announcing my candidacy
for mayor of Chicago.
[APPLAUSE, CHATTER]
What exactly do you mean
by a "sledgehammer on crime and drugs"?
More police presence
has never improved crime rates
in underserved neighborhoods.
I didn't say more police presence.
Just a better one.
Uh, Ms. Marks?
Uh, is your divorce from your
CPD husband Bobby DiFranco
going to have any effect on your ability
to accomplish this?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Although my marriage
with my husband may be ending,
our love for each other will never stop.
Bobby and I gave everything we had
in pursuit of a better life
and a better Chicago.
And if I'm elected, I expect to continue
my professional working
relationship with CPD.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
[HUSHED CHATTER]
What the hell was that?
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- A divorce?
Why didn't you tell us
so that we can get ahead of it?
It's not even finalized, Donna.
I know Bobby. He's just being dramatic.
Oh! Well, finalized or not, your donors
are already threatening
to pull their support
because of your bad history
with the CPD.
Bobby was supposed to be
your cover on that issue.
This puts a wrench
into every single thing
that you say and do
from this point forward.
You had better hope that
this Ortega case is a lock
because now, your entire
campaign depends on it.

Jamal hasn't been seen in a while.
Hey, yo, I-I don't know
nothin' about that.
It-it doesn't matter to me

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
I can't do this.
As much as I want to

I can't.
Why?
Because you were right about me.
From the first time that you saw me.
I am that guy.

In two seconds, your body could
be holding 100 pieces of lead.
Tell me why it shouldn't.
You mad at me. I get that.
Makes sense.
But look, Mirkovic gettin' murdered
means that we got more in common now
than we ever did before.
[SCOFFS] Like what?
[TOMMY] Like we both hate
Roberto Ortega.
He killed your boss.
And he won't stop fuckin'
with my business.
I wanna hurt this motherfucker so bad.
I wanna rip that motherfucker's
heart through his throat.
And I figured y'all did too.
That bag I brought? Full of product.
Just to make it worth your while
since I know y'all lost your connect.
We can call this thing
a one-time deal between us.
If that makes it easier.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Thank you.
I know how to hit Ortega where it hurts.
He's very close with his uncle,
Luis Ortega.
And he's here in Chicago.
No shit.
Que paso, muchachos?
Put the fuckin' gun down.
What the fuck is goin' on?
Shut the fuck up.
Put the fuckin' gun down.
Luis Ortega?
[IN SPANISH]
You know what? Pull his ID.
Hey, you guys don't know
who you fuckin' with.
You know what? That's the crazy part.
We actually do.
We are fuckin' with
Luis Ortega.
I need you to give your, uh,
nephew, Roberto,
a little message for me.
[LUIS IN SPANISH]
Now I didn't understand all that shit,
but I did understand "muerto."

Time for a little, uh, lesson in flight.
Hey, man, let him go!
Hey, man, let him go, man.
You don't have to do this!

A'ight, look.
I want you to tell Roberto
exactly what happened.
And let him know
I don't just trim family trees.
I cut 'em all the way
to the fuckin' ground.
♪
Ortega's lawyer just filed a motion
to suppress the drugs and cash.
There was a mistake on the warrant.
No fucking way.
- Yeah.
- That shit was bulletproof.
Bullshit clerical error.
There was a wrong digit in the address.
Now how'd that get fucked up, Tseng?
You drafted the warrant, didn't you?
I wrote down exactly what
you told me, and you signed it.
It's on the both of us.
Maybe if you hadn't blown past everyone
to make that raid happen.
Going after Egan.
I'm sorry, Stac. I didn't mean that.
[TSENG] No, no, no. We all rushed.
For Vargas.
You're not wrong, Hardwick.
This raid has cost us a lot,
and now it's like
it never even happened.
Egan is still out there, and Bobby is
Maybe I did fuck it up.
And that's exactly why we need
to work together as a team.
We shouldn't take our eyes off Egan.
- He's bound to slip up.
- Oh, trust me
I've never taken my eyes off of him.
Tseng, you file for a motion to suppress
and any other low-hanging fruit
that comes with it.
Now that we're working
with Claudia Flynn,
I just need to figure out how to use her
to get to Egan.
Copy that.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
- Is the money in the accounts?
- Yeah.
With alternate IDs on the
deposits, just like you asked.
- Good. [SIGHS]
- But
Why? What does this have to do
with the Viagra Triangle?
It doesn't.
Ortega found out that
we're working with Tommy
and pulled my protection.
The feds haven't done shit either.
