74. If I was there, I'd have done that shit myself.

75. Ease up.

84. That nigga gave up the recipe,

85. was ready to burn everything down.

86. You think he gonna keep his mouth shut on this?

97. Then we'll worry about Kevin.

98. Give me their names.

99. You hear me?

100. That wasn't part of my deal.

101. No, your fucking deal is to provide information

102. that helps law enforcement do its fucking job.

103. So you give me the fucking names,

104. or I'm gonna toss your immunity.

105. Okay, have it your way.

106. Wait.

107. I only know the name of the shooter.

108. Stay away from the windows, please.

109. I'm worried about Wanda. I left her tied up at my spot.

110. Jerome will check up on her.

111. Yeah.

112. Hey, what'd you lie to us for?

113. I knew Kev couldn't handle it.

114. Man, fuck that. You should have gave it to us straight.

115. Why we hiding out in the cookhouse, Leon?

116. 'Cause Kev listened to me?

117. No, 'cause he did exactly what I'd thought he'd do

118. if he found out the truth.

119. Well, maybe you should have told him,

120. and the shit would've went down different.

121. I mean, what if it was me

122. that got killed by that Mexican?

123. You would've let that shit slide, too?

124. If you had been as stupid and dumb as Delroy and Vic,

125. going and selling after I told you not to? Maybe.

126. - Fuck you, nigga. - What would you have done

127. send him after Conejo, start a fucking war with the Eses?

128. If it was between my homey and some random Mexican,

129. I'd have chosen my homey fuck the consequences.

130. Well, then it's a good fucking thing

131. you ain't in charge.

132. Maybe I should be.

133. Maybe Kev was right about your ass,

134. 'cause look where the fuck we at.

235. By who?

236. Operations Division Chief in Washington.

237. Did they tell you why?

238. No.

239. But I imagine they've got a good reason.

240. And you're not even the least bit curious

241. as to what that reason is.

242. Honestly?

243. Not really.

244. You want to fight it? There's the phone.

245. Start dialing and yelling.

262. It's a matter of time before they end up here.

277. You think I'ma let you play me like a fucking fool?

278. Listen.

279. - Everything all right, hey? - Is it?

280. Is that why detectives are at my house,

281. telling me that Kevin's dead

304. You, me, Alton, Louie.

305. We all part of that boy.

306. Now he on his own path, and he gonna do

307. whatever the fuck he want to do.

308. At least I ain't turn my back on him like you.

309. After everything I did for you when you got here...

310. After everything I gave you...

311. Cissy, I paid you back years ago.

312. What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

313. That house that your son just paid off for you...

315. You think he got the money from flipping fucking burgers?

316. My fucking hustle.

317. You a goddamn liar.

318. Then ask your goddamn man,

319. 'cause you ain't never believe me.

320. Don't matter where you got the fucking money from, Cissy.

321. You took that house, you made a home,

322. you raised a boy in it.

323. I know you're afraid that if you take Franklin money,

324. it's like you saying everything is fine,

325. but I'm telling you, he gonna do it anyway.

326. If you can accept that...

327. he can still be in your life.

328. Well, now he's wanted for murder.

329. So he can't be in my life, can he?

330. Tell him I was here.

553. Both these squads know

554. they'll likely meet again in the playoffs,

555. and they want to make a statement here today.

556. Cody brings the ball across...

557. Nicaragua?

558. That's interesting.

559. I'm sorry. You... Who are you? You can't be here.

560. I guess the question is,

561. what agency doing work in Nicaragua

562. would want to shut down a DEA operation?

563. You're the undercover at the Villanueva place.

564. It's nice to meet you.

565. Guess I figured it was a guy.

566. Yeah, they usually do.

567. Looks like I caught you moving.

568. I really hope it's because of me.

569. You know, you wreck my life, I wreck yours.

570. Right.

571. So, um... this has been fun,

572. but I think probably it's time you went.

573. I can just start guessing if that's better for you.

574. Bureau of Intelligence and Research.

575. No, NSA.

576. I'm pretty sure you were told to stop asking those questions.

577. And I will as soon as I hear something

578. that sounds like the truth.

579. The truth.

580. Yeah.

581. I think the truth is probably

582. that you and I are in this for the same reasons.

583. Make America a better place.

584. Make America a safer place.

585. So why don't you go ahead and explain to me

586. how you're making that happen

587. by shutting down my investigation

588. and I'll leave you alone?

589. I gave you the Colombians.

590. And how are you in the position to do that, I wonder.

591. You do know about curiosity and the cat, right?

592. I'm a dog person.

593. Your superiors don't know you're here, do they?

594. My superiors don't much of anything, Reed.

595. Well, maybe you were working for the wrong people.

596. And what?

597. Are you the right people?

598. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe.

599. Or maybe I'm not a problem that you need to solve.

600. Let's go for a ride.

601. Where are we going?

602. If I'm gonna tell you about all this,

603. I'm gonna need a drink.

604. So are you.

605. I'll follow you.

606. Any luck?

607. - Mama. - Franklin.

608. God.

609. - I love you. - I love you, too.

610. - Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.

611. Kev, he was...

612. He was gonna kill somebody bad, Mama.

613. Somebody who knew people

614. who might have come looking for payback.

615. Come after me, you...

616. everybody.

617. I didn't mean to kill Kev, Mama.

618. I didn't mean to kill Kev.

619. Look, I-I-I don't know what might happen,

620. and I might have to leave,

621. but I had to see you.

622. I had to see you, and I had to tell you

623. that I don't want to lose nobody else I love.

624. I thought I could do all of this and help my people.

625. But it's not working out.

626. So I want you to know...

627. that if having you in my life

628. means that I got to stop all of this...

629. then I'm gonna do that for you, Mama.

630. Say something, Mama, please.

631. I just want to make sure you're protected.

632. Cissy, it's Andre.

633. Open up.

634. - You go. - Fuck.

635. I know Franklin's in there.

636. I love you.

637. - Police! - Let me see your hands!

638. Don't shoot him! Please, don't shoot him.

639. - Don't move! - Don't shoot him.

640. Wait, wait, please.

641. Don't shoot him. Don't shoot him.

642. - Stop resisting! - All right!

643. Franklin.

644. - Come on. - Stay down.

645. Franklin.

646. Stand up right now.

647. Come on.

648. I love you, son.

649. I love you.

650. I knew you couldn't stay away from your mama.

651. I'm right here.

652. I'm right here.

653. I'm right here.

654. - Baby. - Sorry, Mama.

655. I love you.

656. I love you.

657. I'm right here.
