Det. Tai
Chris, you remember that Barksdale kid from the case last season?
Chris Carson
The one we interrogated?
Almost got him to flip on Kenneth Bell and Jesse Barksdale?
Det. Tai
Yeah... well he was found dead 10 months ago.
Suicide.
Chris Carson
Suicide? A black man?
I don't know, us colored folk... we typically live with our problems.
It's your people that like to kill themselves when they can't deal with shit.
Have you checked the crime scene?
Spoke with the officers who found him?
Correctional Officer
So... this.. Dee-Justin.
You think someone killed him?
Det. Tai
It's pronounced, Justin. The D is silent.
And yes, I do.
Correctional Officer
I thought Police Commissioner Loeb wanted the department to lower the murder rate in this city.
You're telling me you want to turn a suicide into a murder?
Especially one, that we're not gonna solve?
Det. Tai
Yeah, well fuck the Commissioner.
This isn't about making the Commissioner look good.
It's about doing our job.
Correctional Officer
Well, it's your funeral McLuu.
Granted, if you can even prove this case was a murder.
Det. Tai examines the photos.
Places a belt around his neck and replicates the crime scene.
Det. Tai is able to sit down with no problems.

Prop Vinny
With all due respect, Rocksonberg...
You were out the game.
Our business has to continue, so we filled the void.
You have to understand our decision to turn down your offer.
Rocksonberg
No, you don't understand.
So let me explain it to you more carefully.
Carson Wentz is a liability.
He's the reason I ended up in 12th place last season.
He's injury prone and a drug addict.
Never trust a drug addict.
My new assistant, Matt Ryan, he's actually played in a Superbowl.
Has Carson Wentz?
What I'm proposing to you, is Colonel Sanders himself, frying your chicken.
Not Colonel Sander's assistant.
And I know you like fried chicken.
Rocksonberg
Do it.
Get rid of Carson Wentz.

In the street, Julio Jones sits and waits near a Kevlo Stanfield corner.
A black Escalade pulls up and out comes Kevlo Stanfield.
Julio Jones
Kevlo?
Julio Jones
You know I'm with Jesse, right?
Kenneth Bell?
Kevlo Stanfield ignores Julio.
Julio Jones
Can we talk?
Kevlo Stanfield
I'm gonna need you to walk back up there and pack up your fantasy team.
I'm being a gentlemen about it, for the moment.
Julio Jones backs off and leaves the corner.
Julio Jones
So he say, 'I'm being a man about it in this moment.'
Or some shit.
Fact is, he wouldn't even hear me out.
I mean, like you say, if the Blue Magic is as good as they say it is.
Don't matter who got what territory, right?
But we ain't got no muscle to take any corners.
And we ain't got the product to compete.
So where are we gonna go?
Plus, the streets is saying, The Greek is back.
That he's working with Prop Vinny.
If that's the case, The Greek might have us beat.
Kenneth Bell
I'll talk to Jesse.
We'll sort this shit out.

Jesse Barksdale
So we got ran off by Kevlo?
Just like that?
We lost them towers and we let a first year Fantasy Manager
make us look like a bunch of bitches?
Kenneth Bell
Like I'm saying, losing Zeke...
And with Damien Williams hurt, Shady is MIA.
The muscle ain't there.
Plus all the police attention that it would create
if we start beefing over some corners.
This Greek mother fucker got the entire market.
And he's exclusively working with Prop Vinny.
No product and no corners.
We don't really have many options.
So personally, I think it's best we go to Prop Vinny.
See if we can get in on this Blue Magic package.
Jesse Barksdale
No, fuck that.
Let me handle the package.
As far as that other thing...
I made a call to Cameron House.
Brother Nicholas is on his way.
Kenneth Bell
Brother Nicholas? You sure?
Jesse Barksdale
Yeah, I'm sure.
Later that evening, Carson Wentz is informed
by Prop Vinny that he will no longer be cooking for the Co-Op.
Det. Joyce is tailing Carson Wentz.
Carson pulls up to a local establishment.
Jesse Barksdale
So I hear you're looking for work.
Just so happens, I'm looking for a quarterback.
Jesse Barksdale
They saying, you can make the Blue Magic just as well as the Greek mother fuckers.
This true?
Carson Wentz
Yeah... I can do it.
Jesse Barksdale
Well, if you're ready to return to MVP form...
What do you think about working for me?
Jesse Barksdale, Kenneth Bell and Brianna Barksdale
leave their Laser Tag establishment to
discuss their newest acquisition, Carson Wentz.
But from a distance...
Det. Joyce
Son of a bitch...
