That's a kid?
Come here. Ven aquí. ¿Cómo te llamas?
What are you doing?
He's just a scared kid.
Where the fuck is the boy at, Tee?
He could be the Federales.
- Mentiroso de mierda.
- Shit.

- Who you talkin' about? Pusha?
Now, I had real love for you,
dawg. But you fucked that up.
Y'all better not come around
me and my family ever again.
[MEECH] Know you and
Pusha family and all,
but I need to know everybody
that he beefin' with.
I bet you do.
Pusha's puss ass, he overstepped.
That's why I'ma show
you love on the price.
[GUNSHOT]
Think you could bullshit
a bullshitter, Meech?
Oh, fuck!
- Imani.
- [TERRY] Tee.
[IMANI] I am hosting a
private game next week.
Maybe it's time for
you to file for welfare.
You marked down here that
you live with your husband.
He's my ex-husband.
I'm sorry, Charles,
but you are the problem.
I cannot so much as get a
dime with you being here.
I don't want to live no more.
Please just tell me
where you put the gun.
[LUCILLE] So when were you gonna tell us
that you got yourself knocked up?
Holy shit. You havin' Werm's baby?
[NICOLE] Breeze is the father, not Werm.
I cannot afford another mouth to feed.
Don't bother, because
I'm raisin' my baby
in college in Atlanta.
All you ever gave a fuck
about was drugs, Meech.
Nigga, I only got into this fuckin' game
to keep our family together.
What family, Meech? Nikki is pregnant!
Pops is talkin' about not
wantin' to live no more!
[MEECH] How you feelin'?
[PURDY] A bullet just
tore through my body.
I don't think I can get back out there.
I used to see that guy at Techwood.
Think he's some kind of shot caller now.
[BRYANT] Well, I'll be damned.
You did real good.
[ANIMAL HOWLING, BIRD SCREECHING]
Dawg, I hope you know,
you lettin' that kid go
fucked everything up.
Now we got no choice but to move on.
At least we can finally
get the fuck up out of here.
And maybe, just maybe,
I can make it home
for my son's birthday.
Man, you selfish-ass motherfucker.
That's why Loco whupped your ass.
- [VEHICLES APPROACHING]
- What the fuck?
It's the fuckin' Federales.
Loco! We got fuckin' company!

[TERRY] No, no, no.
W-we got to get out of here.
You had this shit the whole time?
- Fight.

Ain't nowhere to run.
Ain't nowhere to hide.

[MAN SHOUTING IN DISTANCE]
Here. Let me help you.
- Good morning.
- [CHARLES] Morning.
So I-I decided to
defer my scholarship
till after I have the baby.
- Thank the Lord.
- Wait. Why?
LaWanda said some stuff
about the reality of parenting
and going to school, and it's just-
It was all kind of overwhelming to me.
I'm glad she was able to
talk some sense into you.
You're not dropping college
'cause you're worried about me, are you?
No, Daddy. I
I need to do what's
right for me and the baby.
And that's, um, staying close to home.
You sure?
I'm sure.
Your baby has a smart,
caring, strong mother.
Thanks, Daddy.
You know, Wanda made all this fuss
for you to have the baby shower
before you left for school.
But with everything that's going on,
I mean, maybe we should just cancel.
No, Mama.
I think we all need
something to celebrate.

to talk to your husband's crew,
and they're not hearin' me out.
Is there another way that
you know can make them listen?
You and Jimmy were
partners, and some feel
that you were responsible
for my husband's death.
I was meetin' with Sheik
Mooney about a peace agreement,
and J-Pusha tried to kill me, too.
This war will continue
until Jimmy is dead,
and they don't care
who gets in their way.
Ma'am, there's always a cost for war.
Please.
I'm afraid of losing my husband, too.
I do not wish that
pain for another woman.

The Moors are very proud.
And they will not let the
death of the Grand Sheik
go unanswered.

If you ask me, sis,
I think your friendship
and loyalty with Jimmy
has run its course.
J-Pusha's had my back for years.
When my father died, he's
the one that protected me.
That was years ago.
But now you and your
friend need to figure out
how to protect us sister.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Frankly, your tithing
is not what we expect
from a church leader.
Um
like the rest of our flock, I
I too am experiencing financial
distress.
What kind of distress?
[LUCILLE] Divorce is not cheap.
I also have a grandchild on the way
that will be living with us.
And since Charles' injury,
he's been unable to work.
And he's been
in a very dark place.
I am so sorry.
[ELDER EARLE] The good
Lord never challenges man
with more than he can handle.
But perhaps this is a sign
you've taken on too much.
You know, the Almighty never gives men
more than they can handle.
But He most certainly tasked
women with the impossible.
And somehow we find
a way to get it done.
As always, I will get it done.

y'all had him in for a

Yeah, I recognize him.
But the case didn't pan
out, so we kicked him loose.
How did you get to him, anyway?
Through an

I think I'm onto a BMF stash house.
Now, my camp has already said no,
so I was wonderin' if
you could get your sarge
to sign off on a warrant.
I'll tell you right now.
Sarge has been gun-shy man.
Since Kang died, he's
not pullin' the trigger.
But, uh, do you think I
can meet your informant?
He don't really fuck with Red Dogs.

- Well, then, shit. I can't help.
Look here. I know them BMF
