Beginning of the End

[FUNKY HIP-HOP BEAT LAYERS IN]
[TOMMY] Previously on Force.
I will burn that motherfuckin'
coalition to the ground
before I let them take it from me.
Don't burn it down.
Take it back.
You weren't very careful
when you got yourself thrown out of CBI.
Che gave me 24 hours to re-up in full,
but I ain't got it.
[MIGUEL] I have eyes on Diamond
and Jenard with Ortega.
CBI is working with the Marquez cartel.
You don't let us deal with
that shit right now,
CBI and Marquez,
they gonna take over your
whole pot of business overnight.
Kill CBI, Ortega, Marquez, all of them.
Consider it done.
[TSENG] So, Tommy Egan was
blackmailing Stacy Marks,
but she wanted out,
so he killed her, right?
I don't know shit about any of that.
All I know is that you don't have
any leverage on me anymore.
Goodbye, Chicago. To our new life.
To freedom.
Chan, I'm getting Roberto
Ortega released tomorrow.
So King Kilo dead?
He went lookin' for
D-Mac with you motherfucker.
All this, 'cause
I whooped your ass, Jenard?
Jenard.
[GUNSHOTS]
JP.
Fuck!
- [GUNSHOTS]
- Shit!
And why the fuck should we believe you?
Let's not forget what the real
fuckin' issue is here.
[JENARD] It's that white motherfucker.
Ain't shit gon' right since
this motherfucker came to town.
If you want peace, you gotta
know there's only one thing I want.
Give me another price for peace.
Diamond, I ain't gonna stop
until Jenard's dead.
[SHANTI] I got a inside man in CBI.
We can use him to get
the drop on Jenard.
Gettin' you into CBI was
my way of keepin' you with me.
It was selfish. Bro, I'm sorry.
And I know how much it cost you.
You ain't cost me shit.
This what I want.
This where I want to be, bro.
This where I belong.
With CBI nigga, with you.
Tommy want me.
A'ight. He don't want you, D.
You my brother.
And we in this shit together.

A mother's love for her son,
is different,
from any relationship she'll ever have.
Oh, it's primal.
Your instinct is to protect at any cost.
[VOICE BREAKING]
Having to bury your child,
goes against the law of nature.
I wish I had more time with JP.
I wish JP had more time with us.
I hope to God,
that the time that I have left,
with the people I love,
that they can forgive me for all
the shit I've done in the past.
Uh, lot of you don't know this,
but I left JP and his father,
right when they needed me most.
And Herman,
he was a good man, who did
a good job in spite of me.
And I uh,
I will never forgive myself for it.
Because what kind of mother puts
herself before her own child?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
The minute Tommy step his
motherfuckin' ass out of here,
his bitch ass gon' be
suckin' on embalmin' fluid
just like his fuckin' brother.
[GUN COCKS]
Come on motherfucker.
Fuck the cops doin' here?
Look like that nigga Tommy
called in a favor to Miguel
and his boys in blue.
- Fuck!
- Fuckin' pigs.
Just as dirty as us.

- [KATE SOBBING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah, you safe now, motherfucker.
Not for long.
[TIRES SQUEAL]
[ENGINES RACING]
You okay?
Yeah.
CBI gonna have to work a lot
harder than that
to get the drop on me.
You wait here.
I'll bring the car around.
No, I'll go in the family car
with Kate and D-Mac.
You sure?
They could use some extra love
right now.
Thank you.
- I'll meet you at the cemetery.
- See you there.
Yo, bringin' in this extra backup,
it's a good move.
What do you think
Jenard's next move gonna be?
I don't know,
but I got Shanti workin' her inside man
so we could stay two steps
ahead of that motherfucker.
- Che needs to see us.
- When?
Now.
- Let's bounce.
- No.
You go bury your brother, guero.
Che may be a gangster,
but he's a family man first.
He'll understand.
All this other shit can wait.
- I hit you up later.
- Alright.
Hey man, you got a light?
[GRUNTING]
This is from Vic Flynn.
[GRUNTING]
Where is he?
Huh? Where is he?

Jimmy, is it done?
[TOMMY] You can't run forever, Vic.
Tommy.
You know, you really should
have done it yourself,
'cause you ain't gonna
get another chance.
Fuck you Tommy.
I'm not fuckin' scared of you.
[TOMMY] And when I find you Vic,
I'ma put you and that Rae bitch
in the dirt.
The Flynn line ends with you.
Wherever you are, Vic,
I'm comin' for you.
Jason.
Almost free, Jason Booker.
Yeah. Yeah. Almost free.
Oh, I love this place, don't you?
- It's so quaint and cozy.
- Yeah, it's alright.
It's not much to do.
Just a lot of fucking trees and rabbits.
It's not that bad.
A couple days here,
then we can go somewhere
with no extradition.
Open our bar.
I can write my novel.
Live the life we planned
without you having to look
over your shoulder.
Chicago will be behind us for good.
I know this is a huge adjustment.
But give it a chance.
I will.
Most important thing is
that we have each other.
That we're together.
That's all we need.

No, I don't need your help.
Okay, I know that you're mad at me,

What do you want from me, Mireya?
Honestly, I just want to know
why you haven't told Tommy.
After losing another brother?
I'm not sure how Tommy's gonna react
when he finds out you're
trying to run off with his kid.
I don't want anything
to happen to my grandchild.
Alright, truth?
I was hoping you'd change your
mind and do the right thing.
I am gonna do the right thing, okay?

Stop!
I got some business to settle, Unc.
Would you cover up that piece.
There's still people here.
D-Mac, shit about to go down.
I can't have you
wildin' out on me right now.
Jenard is gonna pay for what he
did to your father, I promise.
I know this shit is hard,
but our next move has got to be solid.
I can't have you makin' crazy
moves by yourself right now.
What if somethin' happens to me?
You're all I got.
I need you
to look after Mireya and my kid.
A'ight, Unc.
As long as everybody stay in
this house, we gonna be safe.
Miguel's guys got this place covered.
Hey, hon.
Um, can I have a minute alone
with your uncle?
There's somethin' I need to tell you.
I'm leaving tomorrow
h-heading for New York.
Yeah, I was almost gettin' used
to the idea of havin' you around.
Look, I just think it's better if I go.
Better for who? I just lost my brother.
And I lost my son.
I-I-I just need some time,
you know, to work on myself.
Otherwise, I won't be
of use to any of you.
So runnin' away from your problems
is the best way to work on yourself?
You know what? I got an idea for you.
Why don't you try somethin' new
and try stickin' around for a while?
If I want to stay sober,
I got to do this.
Darnell knows he always
has a home with me.
You do too.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHISPERING] Oh, yo. Come on.
What you find out from your inside man?
He's dead.
His body was in the middle
of my fucking ring.
On full display.
- Jenard knows?
- Yeah.
And with nobody on the inside
tellin' us his moves,
we're fucked.
I think I know someone that
could still get to Jenard.
Who?
You ain't suggestin'
I go into the lion's den.
That's exactly what the fuck
I'm talkin' about.
I don't got a death wish.
Ain't nothin' gonna happen to you.
That's easy for you to say.
Jenard's biggest weakness
ain't the needle,
it's you.
If you just go there,
and just talk to him.
Play nice, see what he tells you.
- [HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
- [SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
Oh shit Bobby, I didn't see you there.
Look, I'm sorry that, uh,
this must be awkward for you.
It is what it is.
- You know, I saw you yesterday.
- Oh yeah?
Yeah. The Tortoise Club.
- Excuse me.
- It's interesting,
'cause you met with the same guy
who met with Mirkovic
right before he was poisoned.
The same guy who posed as a lawyer.
Yeah, you see,
'cause I trailed him, and, uh,
I watched him give you
an envelope full of cash.
[TSENG CHUCKLES]
I don't know what you think you saw.
That wasn't me, man.
Yeah?
What do you think I'm a fucking idiot?
The fuck are you doing?
That Chan guy works for the cartel.
Mm.
And you are on their payroll.
What is this?
It's your financials.
Listen,
I think you should be really careful
how you proceed here.
I'm about to be sworn in
as the new U.S. Attorney.
Does it look like I give a fuck?
How you gonna explain to
the Justice Department
the half million dollars you received?
Hm?
It's over.
Unless you do what I tell you to do.
Which is what exactly?
You're gonna lead Tommy Egan
into a trap.
Then you're gonna arrest him.
Then you're gonna flip on the cartel,
and then maybe,
I'll ask the Justice Department
to go easy on you.
Bobby,
Stacy was corrupt, remember?
You-you fuckin'
Look, if we arrest Egan for killing her,
the whole story is
going to come out, okay?
[STAMMERING]
Is that-is that what you want?
I want justice for my wife's murder.
You have no idea who I'm dealing with.
The Marquez cartel. They threatened me.
They threatened my wife.
What do you think
you're the first prosecutor
the cartel's threatened.
Don't stand here and pretend
this is about anything other
than your greed.
I'll only do it if I walk.
We arrest Egan,
I split the money with you,
and I become U.S. Attorney.
This isn't a negotiation, pal.
Yeah.
It is.
Otherwise, I'll just keep my mouth shut.
And take the prison sentence.
I might die in prison,
but at least my wife won't
be killed by the cartel.
And you'll never get to Egan.
Fine.
Go to Egan,
tell him you're dirty,
offer your services.
Get him to admit he killed Stacy.
And after that, I don't
give a fuck what you do.
[SUBWAY CLACKING ON TRACKS]
[CELL PHONE BUZZING]
[TSENG] You're not an easy man
to track down, Mr. Egan.
This is acting U.S. Attorney Bill Tseng.
I'll be permanently replacing
Stacy Marks soon,
and I think I may have
a way to make sure
that benefits you and your efforts.
We should meet and discuss a few things.
When?
Tomorrow.
[TOMMY] There's an abandoned
building at 28th and Drake.
2:00.
Come alone.
Same for you.
Okay, now, how are you
going to keep me safe?
Egan is slippery, probably desperate,
- and he is not stupid.
- You'll be fine.
It's not like you're
actually gonna be alone.
If you're too close, he'll see you.
I won't be too close.
But what if I get into trouble, huh?
What then?
Bobby, are you listening to me?
I need a safe word.
Wife.
Your safe word is wife.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, babe.
Oh, hey.
There you are. Where you been hidin'?
I was just taking out the trash.
And I checked on Kate.
I think she finally fell asleep.
Thank you for everything
you done for my family.
They're my family now, too, right?
No doubt.
Hey listen, some shit's
about to go down.
I want to make sure that
you and the baby are okay.
So I'm thinkin' I'ma put you
in a safe house tomorrow.
What?
Just until this war
between me and Jenard is over.
- Tommy, I can handle what I can handle
- Mireya,
Jenard ain't gonna stop till he
takes everything from me.
And I need to know
that you both are safe.
What about Kate?
- She can't stay here alone.
- Kate.
She leavin' tomorrow.
- What?
- Yeah, she going back to Queens.
Probably for the best.
Why you lookin' at me like that?
'Cause you're the only person
I've ever met who was broken,
and unbreakable, at the same time.
What's goin' on with you?
Hey, are you okay?
I'm just so lucky I found you.
I found you, remember?
[TRAIN CLACKING ON TRACKS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Hey, you lost?
Relax, I need to talk to J.
Look,
don't make this harder
than it has to be.
Touch me and I'll cut
your fuckin' fingers off.
[JENARD CHUCKLING]
She good. She good.
So I take it you got my gift?
If you wanted my attention,
all you had to do was call.
Less cleanup.
Mm.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
I'm sorry about Diamond.
Are you?
I mean, ain't this what the fuck
you wanted the whole time?
I ain't gon' front.
Takin' out your brother
was part of the plan.
But,
the white boy doin' it,
that's a bridge too fuckin' far.
Look, I know we've been
through some shit,
but we're stronger together.
Nah.
I don't do leftovers, shorty.
Especially not Tommy fuckin' Egan's.
I'm cool.
I'm not down with that white devil.
Look, [CHUCKLES]
you always wanted what I have.
Partner with me.
You'll get Garfield Park.
Manny Fresh.
The whole west side.
Feels like a score to me.
Long game. Remember?
Me and you.
You know, I was waitin' to see
how long it would take you
to realize just how
good we were together, baby.
- In business and in other areas.
- [SHANTI SIGHS]
I'm just sayin'.
Okay, I fucked up, a'ight?
I can admit that shit, I fucked
up, but I miss you, woman.
I'm for real. A'ight, no bullshit.
I-I really, really miss you, baby.
A'ight, and I just think that it's time.
It's time that we get back to us.
Let's get one thing clear.
There's no more us, J.
This is about business.
With Diamond gone,
you and I can run shit.
Can you fuck with that?
'Cause if you can't fuck with
that, I can't fuck with you.
As you wish, Shorty.
Business first.
Good.
So, what's the plan?
How do we get rid of
Tommy once and for all?
I'ma have everybody over here.
And we gon' figure out how to
take his ass out tomorrow night.
Once that motherfucker
off the map for good, man,
me and you, we'll just-
we'll just split the territory.
Cool?
Cool.
A'ight, I'll be there.
The whole city will be ours.
Just like we planned.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You buyin' that shit she sellin'?
Nigga, fuck no.
That bitch power hungry G.
And she think she playin' me.
But I'ma use her dumb ass
to get straight to Egan.
That power of the pussy shit
ain't workin' on me, my nigga.
- You think he bought it?
- Fuck no.
I mean, he played along like he did,
but that motherfucker's
transparent as hell.
He give you anything
that we could go on?
He fed me some bullshit about a
coalition meeting tomorrow night.
- You see, that's somethin'.
- Don't get too excited.
- That shit's probably a setup.
- No, I'm sure it is.
But like my man Kanan used to say,
"Every good lie is veiled in the truth."
Think it's time for plan B.
The fuck is plan B?
Gonna pay the RDs a little visit.
Think they can help us
with our Jenard problem.
- What you thinkin'?
- [CELLPHONE BUZZING] I
Gotta run an errand.
I hit you with the 411 later.
[TOMMY] What's goin' on?
- Fuckin' with the ops now?
- Fuck you Egan.
How's your Uncle Luis?
I heard he had a nasty fall.
- Fucking motherfucker!
- [CHE] Enough.
[MAN] Yeah.
I have some news.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Marquez is no longer our enemy.
They are now part of our machine.
- That ain't fucking happenin'.
- You're wrong.
The cartels are uniting.
If you want to do business,
then you better figure out
a way to work together.
Consider it a-a merger.
Fuck that.
Look Che, I respect how you do business,
but joining forces
with these motherfuckers,
that's a non fuckin' starter.
Nah, me and my business, we out.
You haven't heard
the next part of the plan.
You see, for this new regime to work,
there must be a sacrifice.
There is one man who's
been causing problems
since he came to town.
[CHUCKLING]
[MAN] Yes, sir.
That man must die.
[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
That's your kill, Egan.

- Yeah, sure.
[ANNOUNCER ON TV]
And we have some breaking news.
The most recent casualty
in the world of drug crime
is a name synonymous with
Chicago streets.
Ex-professional boxer
and presumed leader of CBI,
David Diamond Sampson was
gunned down in a turf battle
on the city's south side last week.
With new alliances being forged,
the Chicago PD gang unit
and the U.S. Attorney's Office
are working all angles
to keep up with the rapid shifts
happening
in the world of illegal drugs.
After the murders of prominent figures
Walter and Claudia Flynn,
and the disappearance of Victor Flynn,
the heir to the Flynn family dynasty.
It seems as though the battle
for Chicago's underworld
is being won by street gangs.

[TOMMY] So what you gonna do?
How about this?
I'll make a deal with you.
All right.
- You deliver me your little nephew.
- Mm-hm.
We solid.
All the RDs will ride with you.
A'ight, here's the thing,
you ain't never gettin' my nephew.
But you don't want him anyhow.
D-Mac was Kilo's beef.
And Kilo and my brother,
was popped by Jenard.
- What?
- Mm-hm.
Nah, nah, nah.
See, Jenard told us that your
brother killed Kilo and Jojo.
So then he had to take him out.
That's a convenient ass story, isn't it?
'Cause my brother was
a fuckin' musician.
He ran a bar.
What possible fucking reason
would my brother have to kill Kilo?
You see your math? It ain't mathin'.
Nah, Jenard killed Kilo.
'Cause now, with your boss out the way,
he could do whatever the fuck
he want with that coalition.
So from where I'm standin',
it seem to me like I'm makin' you
a pretty irresistible
motherfuckin' offer.
Oh yeah,
and the Marquez and Estrada
cartels is now one cartel,
and they ain't fuckin' with CBI.
They fuckin' with me.
So you roll with me and you
joinin' the winning team.
All right, Egan, you got it.
I'ma roll with you.
But only 'cause I hate that fuckin'
incompetent ass nigga Jenard.
He been fuckin' up my shit for years.
Look, I'ma need to stay on
the down low with my guys
until you plant that flag.
Soon as you do that.
We in bidness.
It's a wise move, Greyskull.
I need you to do me a solid.
Find out what Jenard's
next move gon' be.
Say less.
Hit you up when I got the Intel.
[TRAIN CLACKING]
Egan.
Egan, are you in here?
Jesus Christ, you scared
the shit out of me.
I had to make sure you was alone.
You look nervous Tseng.
Can't say I blame you.
- Comin' without backup and all.
- I'm fine.
Are you?
See, 'cause I'm guessin' that
you ain't really gonna be fine,
until you can pin
Stacy Marks' murder on me.
No, no, no. But see,
that ain't never gonna happen,
'cause I didn't do it.
You think that's why I'm here?
I couldn't be more happy
that Stacy's dead.
In fact, you did me a huge favor.
Because now that she is out of the way,
I can offer you something
Stacy never could.
Free reign of Chicago.
Now, that sound too good to be true.
Well, believe it or not,
but I have connections more far reaching
than any government
position can provide.
Cartel ties to Roberto Ortega.
And in case you haven't heard yet.
Estrada has merged with Marquez.
I guess you ain't heard.
Ortega dead.
Well, I guess I work with you now.
No, actually,
you work for me.
Well, I don't get caught up
in semantics,
but I'm sure this
relationship will be uh,
mutually beneficial.
Not that it matters, but you did
kill Stacy Marks, didn't you?
What the fuck?
Oh, look at this.
I-I can explain. Okay.
You got any last requests?
You could kill me.
Okay, but just please

Yo CBI, we out, we out.
They got backup. Move, move!
Good evening.
Thank you for coming.
My name is William Tseng,
I'm the new U.S. Attorney
for the city of Chicago.
Now I'm here to announce
updated findings
in the murder case of former
U.S. Attorney Stacy Marks.
After an extensive investigation,
it has been determined that over
the last several weeks,
Ms. Marks and her husband,
CPD Lieutenant Robert DiFranco,
were engaged in a corrupt relationship
with members of Chicago's
most notorious gang.
Now, our investigation uncovered
that through this corrupt relationship,
Ms. Marks and Mr. DiFranco
took hundreds of thousands
of dollars in bribes
to fund Ms. Marks' mayoral campaign
in exchange for her using
her power and influence
to allow crime to run rampant
on our city streets.
Now, as the new U.S. Attorney,
I am committed to ridding this city
of every ounce of corruption,
and I am further committed
to continuing to make Chicago
one of the safest
and most vibrant cities
in this great nation.

We're supposed to be lying low.

Look, this isn't about you,

[LAUGHING] No, I'm not Jason Booker,

Wait, where are you going?

but that was just a battle, nigga,
We gon' win the war.
We just gotta lock in.

Prize is Tommy. You just lost the war.
Mm. Yeah.

- Nigga, I'll kill you.
Nigga, don't do that!
Don't do it!
Diamond will be

A death worthy of a coward,
would land at his feet.

Hm?
I guess I'm not all the way alone.
Shit.

If something ever happened to
Mireya, I'd go crazy.
I might have lost a brother,
but maybe I gained a new one.
Fuck yeah you did.
Hell of a lot better than
that piece of shit Diamond.
Aren't you glad you
deaded that motherfucker?
Would have got all of us killed
trying to protect his pussy ass brother.
Let me explain something to you, Cruz.
My bullet might have taken Diamond down,
but his fucking brother got him dead.
Alright, so don't come at me right now
talking a bunch of bullshit

Move this shit.
Look at you.
You know, you remind me

That's impossible. I'm one of a kind.
Yeah, well, so was Liliana.
[SHANTI] I know shit's been
crazy these last few weeks.
That ends tonight.
We all know what went down with Jenard.
That nigga is dead to me.
We don't fuck with each other no more.
And neither should you.
Anybody loyal to Jenard is a enemy.
Shit's changing in our family.
Street wise, financial wise, everything.
[MAN] Yo, what that mean to us,
Showstopper?
That means territory is changing.
Everybody in this room
calls it for they block.
All of y'all are upstanding

is coalition territory.
Pssht, fuck I've been talkin' '.

All right, let's go.
[BIG SMURF] Get this paper.

I came here to help you.
Now, you ain't gonna like
everything that I do,
but I ain't askin' you to.
You right Tariq.
You turned out to be a bad ass
motherfucker handlin' your shit.
Now that, I am proud.
You did tell me none of that
one foot in, one foot out shit.
So here I am,
fully submerged in this shit.
Here you are.
Looks good on you.
The fuck can I say?
I learned from the best, right?
[CHUCKLES]
How's the city treatin' you, back home?
Well you know the game,
shit comes with its challenges.
Oh, yeah, I know that's right.
Shit got shaken up on me.
I'ma need a new partner or some shit.
I'm tryin' to figure it out.
You know, by the looks of it,
I ain't gon' lie, looks like you
got this shit on lock out here.
[CHUCKLES] You know what?
Yeah, I kind of do.
Yeah, but what's the fun in that?
I mean, you got Miguel and Shanti
runnin' around like some worker bees.
Nah, they more than that.
But, I feel you.
I don't know, man.
The Uncle Tommy I know,
he loves a fuckin' challenge.
I mean, you told me if you
ain't pushin', then you fallin'.
Last time, we was on a fuckin' rooftop.
What you sayin'?
Come to New York and
move your powder with me.
You askin' me to leave my woman
and everything I built here for
No, no, no, I ain't asking that at all.
Look, what I'm saying is,
Uncle T, he doesn't leave no
fuckin' money on the table.
You gon' provide for your family
the best fuckin' way that you can.
And from where I'm standin',
it's just more money to be made
for you, me and your family,
if we partnered up.
Build your fuckin' kingdom.
You know what I'm sayin',
I'm talkin' legacy, Uncle T.
I do like the sound of Mireya
and my kid bein' on the streets
- where I grew up.
- Exactly.
Sounds beautiful, don't it?
So what you say?
Start some new shit or what?
They say this is A big, rich town ♪
I just come from The poorest part ♪
Bright lights, city life
I gotta make it ♪
