[CAPTAIN BAPTISTE] Whoever put
Howard down is still out there.
[GUNSHOT]
[CAPTAIN BAPTISTE]
Somebody's got to pay Garcia.
[GARCIA] Two months now
since anyone seen your homey?
Don't matter how many
times you roll up on me.
I don't know where Fame is.
[JUKE] When you find out
who put Fame down,
best believe I want in on that.
Kanan gonna want some
payback for his friend.
He ain't the only one.
Which one of you bitch-ass
motherfuckers put down Fame?
Niggas saying Fame knew
about some cops being dirty,
and they got scared of him
talkin', so they put him down.
If this police thing is real,
that call on Fame,
came from the street.
You don't like my rhymes?
I'm talking about doing impressionism.
You doing still life.
Nigga, make your mind up,
'cause I've got
people to take care of.
My father kept piles
of cash in our house,
which I've continued to this day.
Got this caper you
might want to fuck with.
We've got to do it soon.
Lowell gonna know it's me
before I even come through the door.
I got to wait in the van.
The couple who were
renting my old house from me
were robbed and killed last night.
[GUNSHOTS]
Where the fuck is O-Cee at?
- He ain't been around.
- Yeah, no shit.
This nigga straight disappeared.
You are vouching for your friend here.
Any mistakes, I'll be
looking at you, Marvin.
This white motherfucker out
on Howard Beach into me for 10
large talking to me about how
he allowed to carry that debt.
Do what the fuck you need to do.
[STEFANO] A friend of ours
just got fished out
of the East River this morning.
Boss of bosses from out
here in Howard Beach.
[RAQ] David is a fucking
disaster, Marvin.
You put the crazy motherfucker in
charge, you gone keep him in line.
[RAQ] I need a ETA, Hafiz.
A month.
I don't have a fuckin' month.
[STEFANO] Unique's got some
piece of shit named
Phil Russo backing him up.
Let everybody know that these corners
is this nigga 'Nique's now.
[QUÂN] Unique may have been
limited in his vision,
but I respected him.
I'll let Stefano know that I'll no
longer be supplying your operation.
The restaurant's not going nowhere.
I don't know where the fuck
you get your confidence from.
[STEFANO] Unique is taking
all your business,
and my people are telling me that he
is working with Quân now.

Nah. Ain't the time for that.

See, I told you that he ain't

And now he lyin' 'cause he
too scared to get this money.

[KANAN] It gotta be O-Cee.
He the only one who knew I
was breakin' off that loot.
Must have followed me over to
the spot when I wasn't lookin'.
That feel like a big
move for him, though.
I figured he had other
motherfuckers in on it.
By the way, that nigga gone.
Nobody seen O-Cee in days.
[JUKEBOX] You talk to his mama?
I'm gonna.
Lemme go talk to her.
[KANAN] For real?
We doin' this?
You and me fuckin' with this work?
[JUKEBOX] Slow down, doc.
It's not like I'm signin' on the
dotted for the rest of my fuckin' life.
It might be better if it's a
girl pressin' up on his moms
instead of some angry-ass boy.
When you hit me you said you
might know who put down Fame.
I got a idea, yeah.
I ain't 100%, but
Speak, nigga.
Raq.
Hell nah. No.
R-Raq would never.
You-you're just hatin' because
you mad that she did all th
I knew you was gonna say I'm
wrong, but just hear me out.
I'll listen, but there's no fuckin' way.
Raq loved Fame.
She loved D-Wiz too.
Look what she did to D.
I seen the nigga do
that one inch punch myself.
Sent that fool into the fuckin' wall.
Nigga, all you seen was
your one inch dick
in your hand, right?
[LAUGHTER]
Yo, fuck you, Akbar.
When you think 'Nique gettin' back?
Now why you keep asking me that?
I ain't that nigga's keeper.
It's just that I've been here for hours.
And that shit ain't my problem,
unless you're trying to make it
my problem!
Is that what you doin'?
Makin' your problem my problem?
I'm not.
That's what I thought.
'Nique get here when he get here,
and you gonna shut the
fuck up until then.
Who need a
fucking one inch punch,
when I got a 9 millimeter Gat?
[GUYS AGREEING]
Kwelz and all them saying they
heard it was police that dropped Fame.
My mom has been paying
Five-O off for a while now.
Stand to reason she might've
put them to work on Fame.
But why she gonna do that though?
Maybe she thought Fame was
talkin' behind that case he caught.
Nah. Raq wouldn't do that.
Ain't shit Raq wouldn't do.
And nobody know that
better than her fuckin' son.
Snaps and Pop got some
connects down at the police.
I'm gonna talk to them
see what they know.
But don't tell me it ain't
shit Raq wouldn't do, Juke.
She do whatever the fuck she want to do,
to whoever she want to do it to.
Yes, yes, y'all. What up?
- What up, man?
- What up?
We makin' this money?
- Yo, 'Nique.
- Takin' these blocks.
Yeah, man. Gettin' this work.
What's up? What's up
with y'all niggas, man?
I gotta talk to you. Kanan knows, man.
What the fuck this
goofy-ass motherfucker want?
What, nigga? What?
Kanan knows that I
helped you take that cash.
I gotta get out of New York.
How Kanan know O-Cee?
He just does.
I-I know he does.
Don't you think you bein'
here right now dumb as hell?
If anybody seen you walkin'
in here and they tell Kanan,
he gonna know for sure you taxed him.
I ain't got nowhere else to go.
I haven't been home in
days because I'm scared
that that nigga is gonna
come through lookin' for me.
You sure?
Russo heard the same shit.
Listen, I just need some money, man.
I got a friend down in
Florida I can get to.
It's fuckin' Raq, man!
Bitch couldn't go head-up in this shit,
so now she comin' for the connect.
We don't know that for sure.
They sayin' it was a robbery.
Wasn't no fuckin' robbery, man.
Raq dropped Quân so she could
fuck with my business, man!
This bitch gonna pay, man!
And I don't give a fuck what
these dago motherfuckers
talk about, man! This bitch gonna pay.
I gotta go, 'Nique.
You want to go, O-Cee? Huh?
You want to go?
- [GUNSHOTS]
- Go on then!
Keep goin'!
Now you fuckin' gone!

You remember how Lowell

those people got shot up?
No.
Nah.
Fuck no.
- You not that stupid.
- Nah, nah, it wasn't me.
I was kind of involved, but I backed out
'cause I said this shit wasn't right.
Ain't no such thing as "kinda involved."
I-I told them Lowell had
money in his crib
and we might be able to go get it,
but once I seen those people
in the house,
I said I wasn't fuckin' with it.
Who was you fuckin' wit?
Kenyatta and them.
The bookseller?
Yeah.
And the thing is, now he wanna
circle back on Lowell crib

And it's gonna be worth it.
For everybody.

If she gonna take out Quân,
then we gonna start takin' out these
moo shu motherfuckers

Jersey sayin' we need to sit tight.
Man, fuck Jersey, man!
They ain't out here

Lemme talk to 'em.
Tell 'em what the score is
out here on these streets!
Why don't you tell me
what the score is, Unique?
Shit, you tell me, Five-O.
You the ones keepin' the score, right?
So the rumors are true.
You're not dead after all.
I need to talk to you
about your brother.
I don't know nothin'.
Oh, then I'll talk, and you'll listen.
Cleaned up back there?
Yeah. We're good.
Let's talk in the back, man.
We up. 'Nique down.
Tide turnin', Marvin.
He gonna know it was us that hit Quân.
As long as he can't put that
shit on us for sure, we good.
There ain't no smokin' gun,
can't be no gunfight.
Now I'ma go hit up David Kan one
more fuckin' time and make sure
he ready for this new work.
You go make sure the
restaurant's on point.
Changin' the game all
over again, Marvin.
[GARCIA] Don't suppose
you're gonna tell me
where you disappeared to.
[UNIQUE] Went on vacation.
Well, looks like you should have
used a little extra sunblock.
Cut myself shaving.
Your brother Ronnie, was found dead
next to a murdered NYPD detective,
who was under investigation at the time.
I'm trying to understand the nature
of the relationship between them.
Shit, man.
Ronnie had his own life.
His own circle.
Wouldn't know shit about
what he was into
or who he was fuckin' with.
You think I'm a fuckin' clown, Unique?
Is that one of those, uh,
rhetorical questions, Detective?
Because if it's not,
I mean, I'd be more than
happy to answer that for you.
Oh, you always got answers, don't you?
You're the prime suspect in
the murders of your brother
and Detective Malcolm Howard.
My guess is the three of you
were in business together,
and then there was a double-cross,
and they turned on you
sent you on "vacation."
And then you came back and killed them.
Mm.
I'm still putting the puzzle together,
but I have no doubt,
that when all is said and done,
I'm going to be charging
you with a capital crime.
[CHUCKLING]
Back to your original question
Yeah, man.
You a fuckin' clown.
No doubt.
You shoulda stayed on
that vacation, Unique.
You ain't never lied, Five-O.

Closest we ever get

What? Somebody took out Quân?
[KANAN] Shit. I didn't even know.
Sayin' it was a robbery,
but with all these dramatics
out in Southside Jamaica,
there's talk that Raq was involved.
Like I said, it's the first I heard.
Yeah.
My wife and I are fond of you, Kanan.
You're intelligent, ambitious,
and forward-thinking.
Bright future ahead of you.
The only thing that'll slow your ascent
to the top of the proverbial food chain
is the company you keep.
You only as good as
the heads around you.
You surrounded by suckers,
and you the biggest
sucker out of all of 'em.
I was hopin' you could reach
out to your NYPD connects
see if they know
anything about my friend,
Famous, being took out.
Who told you we got a line to the NYPD?
I saw y'all talkin'
to the police before.
Figured you was fuckin'
with them on some business.
Word is the police is the ones that
grabbed up Fame and killed him.
If that shit is right,
ain't no way they did that
without a call from the streets.
I just wanna know who made that call.
Who you think made it?
I don't know.
That's why I'm askin' y'all to see
what these police is talkin' about.
[DOG BARKS]
We'll reach out to our peoples.
I appreciate that.
In the meantime, let us
know what you hear about Quân.
'Cause this shit could get
stupid for all of us.
Will do.
I'll hit up Pickett and Wiley.
Careless ass motherfuckers.
Business lookin' a'ight.
When Knicks is good, books is good.
It's been a minute
since you come through.
Yo, um, remember that
guy that wasn't payin' you?
The one that said he was all
mobbed up out in Howard Beach?
What happened to him?
You told me to handle that,
so me and Londell did that shit.
Your cousin Londell.
You handled it?
That we did.
So he all paid up
and comin' correct now?
His money ain't really good no more,
if you know what I'm sayin'.
Nah, nigga.
Please tell me you didn't
do what I think you done.
You told me to handle it.
Those were your exact words.
Yo, "Handle that shit, Early."
You said that.
I know what the fuck I said.
The fool you put down is connected
to some heavy fuckin' hitters.
Big dogs.
If they was to find
Yo, you gave me the green light, Marvin.
Shit's on you just as
much as it's on me.
Londell got a big mouth, man.
The nigga did five years because
he just had to tell everybody

[HEAVY BREATHING]
I told all my friends that
he's too handsome for me,
but they all tell me
I'm no slouch myself.
But I don't believe them
because why would I?
My problem is I have a
primal wound from my mother
that just won't ever heal,
so I never think
I'm good enough for anybody.
It's just a hole in my heart
that I just can't fill,
but I just keep putting
everything into it.
But it's bottomless.
The more I put in, the deeper it goes.
Don't I deserve to be happy?
Don't I deserve to be loved?
I just don't believe I'm lovable.
So I just create this vicious circle
that just goes round,
and round, and round.
Maybe I'm just a drama queen,
and this is all in my head.
But did you ever feel that way?
We about to be back
up in a big way, David.
I need to know that you
can handle this work.
Of course! I love work!
I noticed the crew
around here seem lighter.
Not as many heads around.
Okay, we lost some employees
because of payroll issues,
but they're all replaceable.
It does not take a degree
from Harvard to drive a truck.
You can't fuck this up, David.
I need you.
And I love being needed!
I can't wait for all your
new drugs to come here!

that the police were in the mix
on the Puerto Rican kid who
was snatched and put down.
We had you handle the
little nigga because we were
concerned that some of the shit
he was sayin' could track back to us.
But now we gotta worry about
your fuckin' sloppiness
when you put his ass down
gonna track back to us.
It's just people speculating.
Nobody knows anything.
An associate of ours, who was
a close friend of the boricua
in question, is asking
around about who would
have given you the order.
You're talking about the Stark kid.
We can find out what he knows.
Or what he thinks he knows.
Y'all are fuckin' up out here.
And when you fuck up, you fuck us up.
And you don't want to do that.
Ever.
I'm not goin' head-to-head with New York
over some gook you think your
old girlfriend might've killed.
Without Quân, we ain't
got no product, man.
Find another connect then.
So we just gonna let
her fuck up our business
and we ain't gonna do shit about it.
If it was her
and despite your fuckin' assurances,
we don't know that it was
she's fuckin' up your
business, not mine.
Because I expect my regular payments.
Rain or fuckin' shine.
We lookin' like straight bitches

Again, speak for yourself.

I'ma handle him.
You gone handle both of 'em.

You don't need to sweat this shit.

"I got it."
You know, that shit should be engraved
on your fuckin' tombstone, Marvin.
Didn't learn no kinda

You had to fuck it up all over again.
I'ma fix it, Raq.
Right, because you just so
good at fixin' shit, Marvin.
Hm!
♪
Well, we see more of you

Bein' dead remind a nigga

Yo, Raq slippin' while I'm

She about to be a fuckin' footnote.
[SNAPS] Uh-huh.

Somebody drop, there's ten
niggas there to replace him.
So what? We just two of them ten niggas?
Nah, nah, nah. Not at all.
That's why I'm talkin' to you,
because y'all are irreplaceable-

Why we want to put ourselves in

[TSKS]
The way I see it,

Right.
I'm workin' with Phil Russo
out in Newark.
We get together,

And I'm guessin',

and ain't gettin' shit from Raq.
But you fuck with me,
I guarantee you the whole ball of wax.
Let us talk amongst ourselves,
and we'll get back to you.
Look, if we gonna do this shit,

He said we'll get back to you, nigga.
Now, head home to your coffin
or your crypt or wherever

Okay?
Let the adults talk.
I look forward to hearing from you two.
The plot thickens.
Couldn't tell your grandmother nothin'
when she was wearin' this dress.
Just had to stay the hell out the way.
This what she wore to your
grandfather's funeral.
Shit still feel like it was yesterday.
If this is makin' you too sad,
I can do it myself.
[RAQ] Nah.
I need to.
She would want me to do it.
I think.
Shit, I don't know.
They figure out how she died exactly?
She was sick.
Tired.
Had enough.
So she let go.
What you hearin' about Famous?
Nobody knows nothin'.
What Kanan talkin' about?
Same.
He don't know shit.
I need you to look out for him, Juke.
'Cause he gonna do somethin'
real, real stupid
if he think he know who put down Fame.
I got him.
[STEFANO] And no idea at all
who took out Quân?
No, sir.
I heard it was a robbery.
Probably some other Viet Cong.
Ah, you know, Jersey wants
to blow this whole thing up, Marvin.
They just need your
sister to light the fuse.
She's lettin' her feelings
for Unique cloud her judgment.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Ain't nobody scorin' on my sister, man.
And ain't nobody goin' to.
This product about to land here,
so we gonna be back
in business real soon.
Wanna make sure your people ready.
You you just tell me when and where.
My guys at the port'll handle it.
This just the start, though.
Now we got that pipeline,
we gonna grow this shit out
way bigger and better
than just Southside Jamaica.
How about we get things
in order in our own backyard
before we start looking
for greener pastures?
Between the second coming of Unique
and these cocksuckers in Jersey,
we got more than enough
unfinished business
right here at home.
And with the new work
comin' in like it is,
all that about to be settled.
Marvin, we've got to
keep our eye on the ball.
And right now, that ball
is bouncing in Queens.
We gonna knock that shit
right out the park, Stefano.
[CHUCKLES] You.
Thanks very much.
By the way,
I don't suppose you've heard
anything about my friend
who got fished out of the East River.
It feels like a family issue.
But, uh, you know, you always
have your ear to the street.
I was I was wondering.
Maybe you heard something.
Nah, man.
That's, uh, that's white people work.
Ain't heard nothin' about it at all.
When I find out who's behind that,
somebody's gonna be wearin'
concrete slippers.
I hope them shits don't
never come in my size.
