[Kiesha]
Previously on The Chi...

People are starting
to ask questions.

I think we should
just let them speculate.

You don't want folks to start
pointing the finger at you.

[Tiff] If anybody asks,

just say you the one
that k*ll Nuck.

[Bakari]
I'm not saying that sh*t.

-You don't have a choice.
-I always have a choice.

Not if it means
saving your own life.

-[Kiesha] Where's Nuck?
-[Bakari] You talked to Tiff.

I did. Now tell me the truth.

I k*lled him.

[Emmett] Why did Bakari
tell Kiesha he k*lled Nuck?

Bakari didn't tell Tiff
that Nuck k*lled Rob,

and this is payback.

-I gotta tell Kiesha.
-Tell your future wife

your ex-wife k*lled the father
of her child,

-you're gonna have a problem.
-f*ck.

You bought that house
for you and Jada.

I can't walk in there
without breaking down.

Maybe you could help out
a family that's in need.

[Victor] But we really
about to sit up here

and act like everything's fine?

The past is the past, Trig.

You can't keep blaming me
for everything.

You had kids with no intention
of raising them.

Boy, it's time
to get over that sh*t.

You don't tell me how to grieve.

What you grieving?

The life I could have had!

I'm not in the mood.

What can I do?

Nothing.

I know he's gone...

We have to keep living.

I can't just move on

Enjoy yourself today.

I'll try.

You know,

You know I'm not

I know.

That's why I'm marrying you.

First time was for stealing.

My dad got locked up

That's most of us.

set the best example

'cause we gotta hustle

I just know I wanna make
a lot of money.
