Uncle Gabe: I'm your father's uncle, Gabe. Just wanted to pay my respects. You remind me of him so much, you know?
Tariq: I don't even look like him.
Uncle Gabe: No, no, no. But you're bright. I can tell, just like he was. He had a good heart. For a time there, we thought we might lose him to the streets, you know? Your grandfather used to say, 'You go down that road, there's only two ways you're going to end up. Either dead or in jail.'
Diana: So, who do you think he snitched on?
Monet: Doesn't matter. A snitch is a snitch.
Baby, your father. He was a complicated man.
Tasha [to Tariq]
Show the jury she's dirty, and they'll convict. Egan ain't here to blame. And her husband's dead. She's the last woman standing so, sorry, she gets the needle.
Steven Ott [to Saxe]
Simon Stern: Oh, I remember reading Great Expectations back in my Stansfield days. Classic tale about ones moral code being more important than ambition. And that's why it's a story for poor people. The thing about your father, Tariq, is that he could never accept that his ambition was his moral code. He thought they were two separate things, so he was always at war with himself.
Tariq: I never thought of it that way. I never thought of him that way.
Tariq: What are we here to talk about?
Simon Stern: Just like your father. Always eager to get right down to business.
Tariq: I'm nothing like my father.
Paula: So, your husband was Ghost? The FEDS could never prove that.
Tasha: Yes. My husband, James St. Patrick, was Ghost. A criminal, kingpin, drug dealing motherfucker. Tommy, too.
Carrie: You just got here. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Tariq: I have to help my grandmother with my baby sister. I have to help my family.
Look, you may be the first client I've ever said this to, including my own brother. But you need to tell the truth. Right now to me. And tomorrow in court.
Davis [to Tasha]
Saxe: Tariq, if you know who your mother's protecting, you tell me.
Tariq: Look man, I don't know, alright? But you know my mother didn't shoot anyone. You know she's innocent. So if you don't fix this, I'm gonna have to tell the cops I saw you at Truth. I don't have a choice.
Tariq: Killing someone is always a real decision. Even carrying a gun is a real decision. He doesn't want to own up to it, and he's just mad that people hate him for it. But people will always hate you for what you do. You can't care about that.
Lauren: But in the end he's killed because people didn't like how he reacted to his mother's death.
Tariq: People didn't like him because he shot the guy. He was killed because he committed a murder. He knew what he was doing, he knew the consequences. He still pulled that trigger. He did it anyway.
Saxe: I need your help!
Tameka: I don't know you.
Saxe: Tameka, please.
Tameka: I don't know you!
