Power Book IV: Force – S03E01 – Do or Die | Full transcript
[funky hip-hop beat layers in]
[Tommy] Previously on Force…
[Tommy] I know that somebody in the Flynn organization shot Liliana and if I find out who it is, they dead.
Now most of y’all heard about me and my brother.
Any CBI loyal to Jenard is an enemy.
We’re lookin’ for Miguel.
[Tommy] We want double the product.
Wait in the back guero.
I’m Tommy.
I don’t wanna know who you are.
You Miguel’s girl?
Mireya, your brother wants to see you now.
Mireya, she off limits.
I don’t want you on my border.
We comin’ for the North Side, and I dare you to try to stop us.
[explosion] [gunshots] I thought that you died!
[Tommy] And I promise you, I ain’t goin’ nowhere.
If you can get support from CPD, I might be able to give you your task force.
[gunfire] Help!
[Bobby] They killed a little girl.
You’re gonna get your task force.
If Da doesn’t fulfill his agreement with Dublin, everything we have will be lost.
[Vic] I mean, I’m not thrilled about working with the Serbs.
If he gets wind of it, there’s a bullet for each of us.
Not if we kill him first.
Just thinking about my first move when I’m running the Flynn organization.
That’s never gonna happen.
What?
As long as your brother’s alive, you’ll never be queen.
Big Red has orders to kill anyone still at the house when they arrive.
8:30, not 9:00.
[Vic] Is everything good on your end?
Yeah. We’re all good. We’re set for 9:00.
[Vic] I was with Dad when they showed up early.
[Walter] Looks like Dublin’s calling.
Pull the fucking trigg…
[gunshot] The king is dead.
It’s all gonna be up for grabs.
So, you got a plan?
[Diamond] We used to talk about building a coalition of all the mobs.
That may be our best bet on moving forward.
Damn, J, I’m just happy that your ass is back in the fold.
We about to be playing a whole new game right now.
You, me, and Tommy fuckin’ Egan, right?
[tense music playing]
Do we need him?
[Shanti] We in with Claudia and the Serbs.
We wanna work wit’ you.
The Serbs are about to be in business with the Marquez cartel.
Does Claudia got the cash?
[Shanti] Elise does.
White boy think he gon’ run game on us.
No fuckin’ way!
We need to put a bullet in him.
Yeah. When the time is right.
[woman] I saw this guy kill Colin.
[Bobby] This is first-degree murder.
Life without parole.
Your way out is by working with us.
Marks needs an update.
What the fuck is going on?
Is you a fuckin’ snitch?
Victor, you don’t have to do it!
It’s time for a show of force.
One of my own went down.
This shit is personal now.
[Bobby] There’s no Tommy Egan.
It’s a different cartel.
[Tseng] We just lost another one of our own.
We set out to do a job that we did not accomplish.
[Tseng] We got Mirkovic, Claudia, and the Marquez cartel!
I wanna know where Tommy fuckin’ Egan is!
I got a very special gift for you from Liliana.
Tommy… [gasps, grunts]
[JP] All she wanted to do was tell you that she was gonna be better, and you just gave her more drugs.
[Jenard] My people found out who killed Leon.
Name Joseph Little, go by Mad Dog.
That little nigga untouchable because he King Kilo nephew.
You Mad Dog, right?
Who askin’?
Man, this from Diamond.
[body thuds] You just caused a big fuckin’ problem for me and for CBI.
You dealin’ drugs again.
That’s who I am!
I’m fuckin’ Diamond Sampson.
I’m a fucking drug dealer.
I’m happy to appoint CBI as the Serbs’ successors.
[Stacy] We went to the address that Tommy told you and he wasn’t there.
Tommy fuckin’ made me.
We need to get to Vic Flynn before they fuckin’ kill him.
What’s that?
Barcelona.
It’s our first romantic getaway.
Tommy, you motherfucker.
[Shanti] Miguel gon’ take Tommy out for us.
Can you please tell Mireya that we’re here?
Mireya didn’t come in tonight.
Barcelona, eh, Tommy?
Listen, you’re never gonna see Mireya again.

[tires screech]
[car horn honks]
[door unlocks, creaks open]
Miguel?
Miguel, have you lost your fuckin’ mind?
You cannot keep me here.
Fuck yeah, I can.
You fucked over your own family so Egan could get close to Che.
[in Spanish]
[in English] Betrayed you? How?
By sleeping with my enemy.
You chose that puto over me.
[in Spanish]
[in English] You…
You’re not my fuckin’ sister.
Yes, I am your fucking sister, Miguel.
But that doesn’t mean you get to control me.
I can be with who I want to be with…
Yeah, well, he’s only fucking you to get to me.
Of course you make this about you.
Out of all the guys you choose that motherfucker to be with?
[in Spanish]
[in English] And that’s exactly why I love him.
[in Spanish]
[in English] You’ll stay here until I determine what to do with you.
[grim, ominous music playing]
Here, let me help you. Right there.
You see that?
Pull the trigger.
[in Spanish]
[in English] You can’t, because you don’t have it in you.
What the fuck are you doing?
You don’t think somebody’s capable of loving me for who I am?
Hm?
[gun cocks] Mireya, put the gun down before you hurt yourself.
I will do this right fucking now, Miguel.
I’m sick of living under your control.
I will do this right now.
You can’t have me on this Earth if I cannot have Tommy.
[tense, suspenseful music playing]
[Mireya gasps softly]
You know what? No.
No. No. No. I’m not gonna fuckin’ hurt myself for you.
And I’m gonna be with Tommy.
Fuck that.
I ain’t gonna let that happen.
Yes, you fucking will.
Because if you don’t, I’m gonna tell Che who really killed Armando.
That’s right.
I’m gonna tell Che you killed his son so that you could be leader of Insane Princes.
Nah.
No, fuck that.
You wouldn’t. I’m your brother.
[whispers] Test me.
[tense music playing]
If you promise me that you never hurt Tommy, and you let us live our lives together, then I promise you.
I won’t say a word to Che.
Ever.

Okay.
Fuck you.
‘Cause you ain’t going nowhere.
What the fuck is going on?
Yo, G, get y’all things.
We gotta get outta here.
No, I’m not going anywhere till someone tells me what the hell is happening.
We found a snitch in the mix.
What the fuck does that have to do with me?
Nigga, I ain’t answerin’ your fuckin’ questions right now.
Get yo’ shit and let’s go.
Told you, I’m not going anywhere till you fill me in on everything.
I’m done playing fucking games.
A’ight.
Man, get your bitch ass…

Let’s go, white boy.
Get the fuck off me!

What’s wrong?
You definitely sent that text to Miguel, correct?
Yes. Okay?
Come on. Don’t do that. Don’t start.
All right?
Asked and answered, baby.
I did it. I don’t know what the fuck goin’ on.
Miguel probably just makin’ Tommy suffer, you know?
I watched this nigga torture somebody.
He like to take his time.
So chill out.
We gonna get the call, baby.

Put the gun down, Egan.
That’s how you want it?
[gun clattering] Let’s fuckin’ do it, you fuckin’ scumbag.
[grunting] Get the fuck outta my way.
Miguel, if you hurt her in any way, I swear to God, I will kill you.
[grunts] Fucker.
[Miguel in Spanish]
[grunting]
[in English] You’re a fuckin’ punk.
You fuckin’ coward!
The only reason you’re alive is ’cause I ain’t put you in the fucking ground yet.
Well then, then you best kill me ’cause I ain’t gonna be alive without your sister.
[dramatic music playing]
[grunting] Come on, motherfucker!
[grunting, panting] Miguel…
What did you do with her?
Tell me you didn’t hurt her.
Tell me!
Where is she?
Can’t you see you’re outnumbered?
This ain’t about who’s stronger, Miguel.
This is about who won’t give up.
And I ain’t leaving here without her!
I fucking let her go, okay?
She’s fucking gone!
But you…
I’m gonna give you permission to live and conduct business in my streets.
But that’s only to keep the peace with Che.
But if anything happens to her…
I swear to fucking God, Egan…
I’ll skin you alive.
Hm?

Ortega wants to assure you that he’ll be getting all of you out of this mess.

We’ve been through a lot together, and actually he owes me.
Babe, I’m comin’ to see you.
[Mireya] Tommy, I need you to promise me something.
Yeah, anything. What?
I need you to promise me you will never hurt Miguel.
Babe, you can’t ask me that when…
If you ever hurt him, there will be no us.
Tommy, I need you to promise me that you will never hurt him.
Mireya, I love you.
That’s all you need to know.
[Mireya] Okay. Well…
I don’t want to see you until you can make me that promise.

Well, Victor Flynn is dead.
The number one priority for this task force moving forward is to bring down Tommy Egan.
[Hardwick] We have top players from three major organizations in custody.
The number one priority should be convictions.
I agree. We shouldn’t take our eye off the ball.

Shanti fuckin’ Showstopper.
[Diamond] That bitch had a side hustle with your sister.
Shanti was double dipping.
[Diamond] Tommy didn’t me to say anything till he confirmed it.
That’s why we had you on lock.
We didn’t know who to trust.
Right? Now we do.
Fuckin’ bitch.
Yeah, she waited till she had all the information on the meet and then she was gonna take us out in one smooth hit.
So you gave us both the wrong address?
I gave the wrong address to everybody I couldn’t trust.
It led me straight to Shanti.
She was playing all sides.
She got your sister and the Serbs locked up.
I mean, the bitch did us a favor.
We should kill her.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We gonna kill her.
But first… Here.
What’s this?
It’s your cut for the week, dummy.
Time to get back to business.
Maybe we should, uh, press pause on the situation till we can evaluate it.
Oh, trust me, I’ve evaluated.
Vic, I need you to head up north.
And what’s those neighborhoods y’all got on the South Side?
Beverly and Mount Greenwood.
I need you to collect from every-fucking-body that owe us a bag.
We meet back here at 10:00.
I got a plan.
You got it.
Oh, you want me to go now?
Nah, I want you to go later.
Yes, I want you to go now, Victor.
What the fuck is wrong with you, Vic?
[Vic] II got you. I’ll hit you later, all right?
[tense, ominous music playing]
I hope you got a plan for lettin’ that snitch walk out of here alive.
He on borrowed time, Diamond.
And he on the clock for us.
[cell phone vibrates] We gonna know his every move.
Well, I’ll be damned.
[Tommy] What?
Mirkovic.
Dead.
What?
Yeah, man. My contact in lockup just tapped in and said that.
Mirkovic was found dead in his cell.
About fuckin’ time.
We gotta move fast, get everybody the Serbs were supplying before Miguel does.
Yeah, ’cause Che ain’t gonna want a street war, that’s for damn sure.
We can let Che think we cool with sharing these streets with Miguel but you and me both know we gonna destroy that motherfucker and be the only connect here in Chicago.
Now, see? Hell yeah! Now that’s the shit I’m talkin’ ’bout.
Who’s the biggest crew the Serbs were supplying?
Uh, Albanians. Yep.
And they got a social club over on Irving Park.
Let’s go pay those motherfuckers a little visit.
Okay. I’m back.
So you got a plan to get Egan?
No plan.
[cell phone vibrating]
[silences phone vibration, sighs]
You all are right.
Are you serious?
[Stacy] Yes.
We need convictions.
We need to forget about Egan.
We need to land our RICO case and see it through.
[cell phone vibrating]
It’s federal lockup.
So the raid was a win for the DOJ?
Yes. And they want us to land the RICO.
We already have Roberto Ortega of the Marquez cartel, Claudia Flynn, Rodovan Mirkovic.
That’s three.
Mirkovic is dead.
[dramatic music playing]
What?
Claudia Flynn was hit too.
Stabbed in lockup.
Someone is coming for our case.
Is Claudia Flynn still alive?
You take Diamond out at the barbershop, you can make it look like a robbery.
Take all the money.
Nobody’ll suspect shit.
No more Diamond, no more white boy.
Just me and you at the top of CBI, solidifying our reign.

I said, what is up, party people?
Hey, II hope you got some good news for us ’cause I’m tired of ducking and dodging niggas just to see my lady, man.
Just keep ducking and dodging for now.
Tell us what the fuck is goin’ on.
We got some business to discuss, Jenard.
No, you can talk in front of my woman. What’s up?
We’re gonna make a play for all of Mirkovic’s customers, starting with them Albanian motherfuckers.
We get them, the rest’ll follow.
Makes sense.
I’ma need you with us tonight.
What about me?
Shanti…
I’ma need you to just lay low a little while longer.

Wait a minute. What? Who?
[Vic] She’s called Shanti Showstopper.
Some boxer. She runs Garfield Park.
That doesn’t make any sense, Vic.
We weren’t working with her.
Tommy has no reason to think that she flipped.
I think they’re playing you.
They’re not playing me.
Shanti had a side hustle with Claudia.
She was playing both sides.
Tommy found out that she was playing him, and he thinks that she dimed him out.
I’m in the clear.
Look, it worked in my favor, okay?
Tommy just… He paid me my… my cuts.
He’s got me doing pickups all over the city.
Business as usual.
If he was onto me, I’d be fuckin’ dead.
I have a chance to get out clean now.
This could work out really well for us.
“Us”?
What the fuck are you talking about?
I want out!
Just get me to Nebraska or whatever the fuck!
And then what are you gonna do, Vic?
I have something that you’re gonna want even more.
Your sister.
You help me wrap this case up, we can put her in lockup for good and get you the fuck out of town.
You keep pushing the end game.
You have no other choice but to play ball with me, Vic.
Trust me, I am not your problem.
I’m your solution.
And you don’t wanna fuck with me.

[mumbles] Fuck…
My clients aren’t happy that being in business with you landed them in jail.
I had nothing to do with this fucking colossal train wreck.
[Chan] We are looking into what is true and what is not.
If you are lying to us in any way, you will wind up like Mirkovic.
You would be dead already if there weren’t so many eyes on you in here.
Accountability is very important to my client.
So is revenge.
Then tell Ortega that he needs to kill Shanti and Tommy Egan.
They’re responsible for all of this shit.
I would do it myself if I wasn’t chained up in this fucking hellhole.
Tell Ortega that I want revenge just as much as he does.
And that I’ll do anything he requests.
Anything.

We came here to talk to Peter.
I’m Peter. What you wanna talk about?
We wanna talk about business.
[speaks indistinctly in Albanian]
[indistinct chatter nearby]
I don’t think we have any business interests together.
[Tommy] Ah, but see, I think we do.
Maybe you didn’t get the memo, uh, Pistol Pete, but, uh, Mirkovic got murked.
That means the Serbs is out and, uh, we in.
You must be mistaken.
See, we did get the memo, Mister…
Mr. Tommy.
Tommy.
Thing is, man we already got a new supplier.
Huh?
Seems you two are late to the party.
Miguel Garcia paid me a visit personally this afternoon.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
We do a deal with the Insane Princes now.
[whispers] Motherfucker…
Well, how much he charge you for a key?
I don’t think you’re gonna beat that price, buddy.
Try us.
Thirty.
We’ll give it to you for 28 a key.
I don’t go back on my word.
Look, I ain’t asking you to do nothing crazy.
Just negotiate with me a little.
We give you a couple of Irish bars a little further up north to run.
You deal outta there.
You should leave.
Yeah, let’s get the fuck outta here.
Come on.
We gonna let this motherfucker Miguel poach our customers right in our damn face?
Not a fuckin’ chance.
We still gonna fuckin’ destroy Miguel, and become the only connect in Chicago, like we said we would.
Okay.
Shit, Tommy, thinkin’ it through, man, we can’t start a war with Miguel right after Che gave us the Serbs’ spot on the food chain, man.
It could blow up in our fuckin’ face, Tommy.
We gonna have to be careful about our next move.
Well, then we take this hit.
We keep building the coalition.
We keep growing.
And then we come back and undercut that motherfucker Miguel.
We take his entire customer base.
We get what we can now and take the rest later.
We play the long game.
A’ight. So what now?
Now we lock in the Italians.

What’s up, man? You talk to Kilo yet?
You smooth that shit out or what?
Nah, man. It’s gonna take a minute.
Just be patient. You good.
Now, look, patience is the one thing I don’t have.
All right? I need you to put me to work.
I need a plug.
I moved out. I’m on my own.
Well, shit, you talk to your Uncle Tommy?
I haven’t seen him yet, but you said you was supposed to smooth that shit out too.
Yeah, well, a lot of shit is going down right now, and it’s not the time to talk to your uncle, man.
Man, fuck Tommy. He don’t run my life.
[Diamond]
Tommy is my business partner, and I’m not gonna let your little ass ruin a good thing.
Now I told you, I’ma get your spot back with the guys.
It’s just gon’ take a beat.
I’m tired of waitin’ around this motherfucker, man.
If your ass don’t listen to me, you gon’ end up in jail for killin’ a cop.
Or you gon’ catch a bullet for killin’ Mad Dog.
So sit your little ass down until I tell you otherwise.
I’m gon’ get you back with CBI, but if you can’t show me you can take orders, then maybe you shouldn’t be fuckin’ with us at all.
Now get yo’ ass outta here.
Claudia, I have some good news.
Your story checks out.
Thank you for believing me.
[Chan] For the record, I didn’t believe you.
But I did my homework, talked to the right people.
You will live.
For now.
Tell Ortega that if we work together, we can have Shanti and Tommy killed.
I have people on the outside who can…
It’s handled. They’ll both be killed tonight.
[grim music playing]
Good.
Where does that leave me and your client?
You and Ortega are business partners until I tell you otherwise.
[Claudia] Wait.
Can you guarantee me protection while I’m in here?
You’re alive right now, aren’t you?

What’s up, Kilo? What you need?
The shorty that killed my nephew, I need him dead, now.
II thought that we agreed that I’ll just keep an eye on him for you.
Right? And when you get up outta here, I’ll serve him up to you and you put the bullet in him yourself.
That’s what we said.
Yeah.
But nah.
See, I can’t fucking sleep knowing that that little motherfucker is still alive.
I need him dead, now.
I want the little motherfucker dead just as much as you do.
Right?
But this shit…
Ain’t not “buts,” nigga.
See, if you and Diamond wanna keep the peace, and keep us in this coalition, you’ll get it done.
But the longer that little motherfucker’s above ground, the weaker I appear, and I can’t be havin’ that shit.
You feel me, my G?
Yeah.
Yeah, I got you.
I got you.
I’ma get it done.
Well, why the fuck you still sittin’ here?
Clock’s tickin’.
You got a week.
[tense music playing]
[Jenard] Kilo want that nigga D-Mac toe-tagged, like, yesterday.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
He givin’ us a week.
What’s up? What you thinkin’?
If he can wait a week, he can wait two, maybe three.
We play his grief to our advantage.
We keep D-Mac alive as long as we can.
No, wait. What you mean keep him alive?
If we don’t deliver him to Kilo, then he comin’ for CBI, specifically me and Diamond.
Not if we play our hand right.
All right, spit it out, woman.
Hurry the fuck up.
Kilo wants D-Mac dead, so we make him foam at the mouth.
A rabid dog will attack the first thing it sees.
We’ll show Kilo that Tommy and Diamond were the ones protecting D-Mac, and just sit back and watch as he tears them to pieces.
Kilo will kill Tommy and Diamond for us so we can rightfully collect what’s ours.
You still good with takin’ out your brother, right?
No, yeah. Yeah.
I mean, the shit gotta happen, right?
[ominous music playing]
We’ll bring D-Mac close give him what all these little boys hustlin’ in the street want.
Ice, bank, and membership.
First we’ll feed him, then we’ll leave the light on every night, then we assign him his duties.
Little nigga will be eatin’ outta our hands until we decide to serve him up to Kilo.
Which’ll be when Tommy and Diamond are dead.
You don’t have to run, Vic.
There has to be another way to fix things.
[sighs] No, there isn’t.
If anything happens to me…
Stop!
You’re scaring me, Vic.
Paulie is dead. I can’t lose you too.
Beth…
I loved you and Uncle Paulie like a mother and father.
I miss him.
And I’ll miss you too.
If anything happens to me, you should give this envelope to the U.S. Attorney, okay?
It’ll give them everything they need.
It’ll be enough to take everyone they want down.
I won’t be seeing you again.
No. You won’t.
[somber music playing]
This is payback for all the shit we put you through.
It should be enough to get you everything Paulie ever wanted you to have.
Okay?
[cries]
I love you and Paulie so much.
I always have and I always will.
So I went to holla at Kilo and, um, and, uh…
Okay, and what, man?
Bro, and that nigga want D-Mac head.
Like now. Okay?
The man say he can’t sleep knowing that D-Mac’s still breathing, bro.
Well, a dead D-Mac will fuck up everything that we built.
I know.
Look, I tried, okay?
I tried to convince that nigga to keep a cool head, remind him of the coalition’s policies, no cops, no violence, all of that shit.
He wasn’t trying to hear.
That shit was falling on deaf ears with that motherfucker, for real.
We fucked, bro.
If we do this shit for Kilo, we eventually gotta deal with Tommy ass.
And if we don’t do it, then we weaken the coalition, chop some bread off the top, and we put a target on our back.
And we don’t need no smoke with the RDs right now.
That ain’t good for nobody.
Fuck it.
Get rid of the problem. Secure the bag.
Now, if Tommy woulda handled this like I asked him, we wouldn’t be in this fucking position.
All right. Say less.
I’ma kill the little motherfucker.
All right, J.
But make sure this kill cannot trace back to us.
Understand?
Tommy can’t find out about it.
A’ight.
It’d fuck up the whole game.
A’ight.
Hey, but you, um…
You know you shouldn’t even feel bad about doing this shit behind Tommy back.
Now that nigga damn sure don’t tell you everything he be doing.
What you gettin’ at, bro?
Word on the street is, your boy Tommy been crackin’ Miguel’s sister.
Mireya?
[Jenard] Yeah.
And how you know this?
One of the guys said they seen her coming outta Tommy’s crib under the late night act.
And you know me. Me and Tommy got a little history, so I tried to be cool, mind my business.
That’s why I ain’t say shit, bro.
That’s why I ain’t say shit.
But, with what we ’bout to do right now, I just thought you should know.
A’ight?
Well, you got anything else that you holdin’ onto that I should know?
Nah, bro.
Legit. A’ight?
Now I’ma go handle that D-Mac shit, on God.
You take care of Tommy. We good.
I’ma hit you.

Bullshit.
What you mean?
I know about you and Mireya, Tommy.
Oh yeah? What you know?

Is that why you didn’t press the Albanians harder?
‘Cause you didn’t wanna start shit with Miguel?
I fuckin’ pressed them.
Was you not there?
Motherfucker told us to go fuck ourselves.
What the fuck was I supposed to do?
Man, the hell you did, man.
You don’t wanna fucking start shit with Miguel.
I wanna crush that motherfucker.
Look…
My personal life ain’t gon’ be a problem when it comes to our business.
It’s already a problem, Tommy.
No, it ain’t.
