Dark Blue (2009–2010): Season 2, Episode 2 - Liar's Poker - full transcript

MISTER, HAVE YOU EVEN
PLAYED THIS BEFORE?

WHAT?

Man: MACHINE GUN.
AMMO PACK'S EXPIRING.

OH, IT IS?

IT'S FLASHING RED, DORK.
HA HA HA.

ARE YOU THE COP
OR THE ROBBER, HUH?

ROBBER.
COPS ARE SO BORING.

COPS ARE BORING, HUH?

...HANDGUN.

LITTLE TIP, KIDDO.

ALWAYS AIM CENTER MASS.



KEEP PLAYIN'.

LOOK...

I'M GONNA SAY IT AGAIN.
TABLE 14.

YOU AND STACY GO SING
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I'M NOT SINGING TO SOME
TUBBY-ASS SIXTH GRADER!

WHAT DOES YOUR SHIRT SAY?

IT SAYS
"PIZZA WITH A SMILE."

WELL, THEN, PUT ON A SMILE.

AND SING!

OR SCREW.

Dean: CARTER!

I'M NOT DOING IT!

I'M NOT TAKING ORDERS
FROM A KANGAROO ANYMORE!

I CAN'T DO IT.
IT'LL BE OVER SOON.



ACCORDING TO MY C.I.,
IT'LL BE OVER TONIGHT.

15 KILOS ARE COMING IN
AROUND MIDNIGHT

ON A FOOD-DELIVERY
TRUCK.

WELL,
THAT WOULD SEEM RIGHT,

'CAUSE SMITHBURG SAID
WE'RE CLOSING EARLY.

YOU THINK THIS PIZZA DUDE'S
REALLY INVOLVED?

WELL, HE'S GOT KEYS
TO THE PLACE,

HE SHUTS IT DOWN
WHENEVER HE WANTS --

NOT TO MENTION
HIS TWO NARCO PRIORS --
SO, YEAH, I DO.

IS HE CAPABLE OF MOVING
THIS KIND OF WEIGHT?

THAT, I DOUBT.
SO HE'S A BAGMAN.

OKAY, BUT FOR WHO?
Alex: GOOD QUESTION.

IF MY C.I.'s ON THE MONEY,
WE'LL FIND OUT TONIGHT.

ALL RIGHT,
GOOD WORK TODAY, CHAMP.

GRAB A GRAPE SODA
ON THE WAY OUT,

IF YOU WANT, ALL RIGHT?

DOUCHEBAG'S BEING NICE.
SOMETHING'S UP.

ALL RIGHT, ONCE YOU'RE CLEAR,
COVER THE PERIMETER.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK
ABOUT THE FACT THAT...

WE HAD SEX.

PROBABLY, BUT NOT NOW.

OH. OKAY.

I'M SORRY.
WAS THAT RUDE?

NO. NOT AT ALL.

DEAN: Did you hear that?

WHAT HAPPENED?!
STAND BY.

SHOT CAME
FROM THE BACK OFFICE.

SMITHBURG'S DEAD.

AND I GOT NO EYES
ON THE SHOOTER.

POLICE!

YOU SEE WHERE HE WENT?

THAT WAS A HELL
OF A SHOT.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M GOOD.

NOW, MEET
THE LATE ERIC MOSS.

JACKET FULL OF ARMED ROBBERIES,
ONE ASSAULT,

NO HISTORY OF DEALING.

SO HE WAS
A GUN FOR HIRE.

YEAH, BUT WHO'S DOING
THE HIRING?

MICHAEL DUPREE.

WHO'S THAT?
A MID-LEVEL DEALER.

HE USUALLY DOES HIS BUSINESS
IN EAST L.A.

WHY WOULD A NICE MID-LEVEL DRUG
DEALER WANT SMITHBURG DEAD?

WELL, WHEN WE SEARCHED
HIS APARTMENT,

WE FOUND A KILO TUCKED
ABOVE HIS CEILING.

YOU THINK
HE'S SKIMMING PRODUCT?

HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?

HOW DO WE KNOW
IT'S DUPREE'S BLOW?

WE DON'T.

BUT SMITHBURG WORKED
FOR DUPREE AT HIS CLUB.

PLACE CALLED "INDIGLOW."

Dean: AND WE CHECKED
HIS PHONE RECORDS.

OUR MAN'S MADE 10 CALLS
TO INDIGLOW IN THE LAST WEEK.

MICHAEL DUPREE --

NOT YOUR TYPICAL
GANGBANGER.

AGE 30, COLLEGE GRAD.

EXPENSIVE TASTE,
EXPENSIVE LAWYERS.

Ty:
AND THE PLOT THICKENS.

UNDER
"KNOWN ASSOCIATES" --

TERRY "TEKE" KEARN.

WHAT?

HE A FRIEND OF YOURS?
YEAH, SORT OF.

WE WORKED TOGETHER
SIX MONTHS AGO

ON THAT STOLEN-CAR RING.

HE RAN PARTS
THROUGH MY CAR WASH.

Alex: YOU BUST HIM?

NO.

THEN YOUR COVER'S
STILL GOOD.

MARCUS "NO SPOTS" WATTS.

HIGH-ROLLIN'
CAR-WASH ENTREPRENEUR.

GOOD.

USE THIS TEKE TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO DUPREE.

SET UP A BUY,
AND WE'LL TAKE HIM DOWN.

ONLY PROBLEM, ALEX,
IS MARCUS WASN'T A DEALER.

HE WAS JUST A MIDDLEMAN.

FINE. CARTER WILL BE THE BUYER.
YOU'RE THE BROKER.

OH, I GUESS THAT WORKS.

GOT TO TELL Y'ALL,
THAT TEKE --

WE HAD
SOME CRAZY NIGHTS.

GAMBLING TILL 4:00 A.M.,
DANCING WITH LAKER GIRLS.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU MISS HIM.

WHO, TEKE?

YOUR OLD COVER.

* COME AT IT
WITH A BATTLE SOUL *

* DEVASTATE MINDS
WITH A BODY HOLD *

* LOCK IN TIGHT
AS I TAKE CONTROL *

* AND WHEN I POP THESE STEPS,
I'M-A BREAK THE MOLD *

* FINISH WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF FLAIR, I'M TOLD *

Rita:
I DON'T GET IT, MARCUS.

YOU ALWAYS PAY,
BUT YOU NEVER WANT SEX.

YOU AIN'T GAY,
YOU AIN'T A COP.

HOW YOU KNOW THAT?
WHICH ONE

YOU'RE JUST PLAYIN'
WITH ME, HUH?

YOU KNOW,
THE TRUTH IS, MISS RITA,

YOU COMPLETE ME.

OH, SNAP.

IF THAT AIN'T
THE LEGENDARY TEKE KEARN!

WHAT'S UP, PIMPIN'?

YOU KNOW,
YOU BLOCKIN' MY VIEW, BRO.

IT'S ME, MAN.

MARCUS "NO SPOTS."

YOU FORGET TEKE NUMBER?

HMM?

WE HAD LAKER TICKETS, MAN.

TEKE NEVER HEARD FROM YOU.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S --
THAT'S MY BAD, BROTHER.

I WAS OUT OF TOWN.
OH, YOU WAS
OUT OF TOWN, HUH?

YEAH, I WAS OUT OF TOWN.

PHONES DON'T WORK
IN THAT TOWN?

WHAT Y'ALL WAS ON,
VENUS?

SOMEWHERE GALACTIC,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT

WAIT, NO. YOU TOOK MR. SPOCK
TO THE GAME.

THAT IT

GET OUT OF HERE, MAN.

HMM?

BUST THAT -- YOU, ME,

PAUL PIERCE, NEXT WEEK,
FRONT ROW, CENTER.

YOU'RE FROM BEANTOWN,
AIN'T YOU, BROTHER?

MY MAN.

YO, WHAT'S UP?

GOT A HOT DATE
OR SOMETHING LATER?

CAN'T A GIRL JUST LOOK SEXY
FOR NOTHING?

I DIDN'T SAY
YOU LOOKED SEXY.

DON'T WORRY.

I PROMISE NOT TO JUDGE YOU
FOR SAYING SOMETHING NICE.

IS THAT DUPREE?

YEAH, BUT WHO'S MR. ROGERS
TALKING TO HIM, HUH?

THEY LOOK PRETTY CHUMMY.

* I MUST MOVE -- DANCE, DANCE

* I WANT YOU TO DANCE, DANCE

YEAH, I GOT A WHITE,
50-SOMETHING MALE

TALKING TO DUPREE.

THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT HIM.

And he's leaving now.

FOLLOW HIM.
SEE WHERE HE GOES.

Okay. On it.

HOW'S IT GOING?

Alex:
IN TERMS OF WHAT?

THE SHOOTING.
FINE.

IT WASN'T MY FIRST BARBECUE,
CARTER.

WHAT'S THE FBI DRILL?

SEE A SHRINK,
COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR FATHER,

SHED A FEW TEARS,
AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

HOW MANY TIMES
YOU GOT TO GO?

UH...SIX.

SO...

I...

I BOOKED US A ROOM

AT THE OJAI VALLEY INN
THIS WEEKEND.

KIDDING!

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
HMM.

IT CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I AGREE.

IF IT GOT OUT, ONE OF US
WOULD BE REASSIGNED IMMEDIATELY.

I DIDN'T MENTION IT
TO ANYONE.

NEITHER DID I.

IT WAS JUST A RANDOM NIGHT
OF SEX.

NOTHING SPECIAL.

EXACTLY.

WHAT'S UP, TEKE?

OH, THAT'S MY BOY MARCUS, MAN.
HE GOOD.

"HE GOOD"?

YEAH, MAN, HE GOOD.

I GOT FIVE 6's.

NO, YOU DON'T.

SEE, MAN, 'PREE, SEE, YOU WAS
LYIN' THE WHOLE TIME, MAN.

DAMN!

LIKE THE PHILOSOPHER
GOETHA SAYS,

"WE ARE NEVER DECEIVED.
WE DECEIVE OURSELVES."

WHATEVER, MAN.

$1,000 A HAND.

HOW ABOUT
WE MAKE IT TWO?

COOL.

HOW ABOUT WE DOUBLE IT?

WELL, HELL...

LET'S JUST MAKE IT FIVE.

DONE.

HOW MUCH FLASH MONEY
YOU GIVE TY?

NONE.

HE'S PLAYING
WITH HIS OWN MONEY?

IS HE INSANE?

THAT'S WHY TY'S SO GOOD.

I GOT FOUR 5's,
MR. DUPREE.

YOU'RE MAKING IT TOO EASY.
HUH?

WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING
TO SUCKER ME IN?

YOU THINK I'M LYING, HUH?

NO, I KNOW YOU'RE LYING.

DON'T BE MAKING CONVERSATION
WITH ME, MAN,

JUST 'CAUSE
YOU CAN'T READ ME.

LET'S SEE IT,
COOL BREEZE.

OKAY.

LET'S SEE IT.

LIKE THE PHILOSOPHER
JAY-Z SAYS,

"YOU CAN'T KNOCK
THE HUSTLE."

WHAT DO WE SAY,
UH, FIVE SMASH?

OH, FORGET ABOUT IT.

YO, MAN,
I WOULD HAVE COLLECTED.

I DON'T PLAY
FOR MONOPOLY MONEY.
I HEAR YOU,

BUT I GOT SOMETHING MORE
IMPORTANT I WANT TO DISCUSS.

I GOT A FRIEND
LOOKING TO BUY A FEW BIRDS.

YOU DONE BUSINESS
WITH THIS MAN, TEKE?

OH, YEAH, HE BUCK.

MARCUS FOUND ME
SOME BUYERS

FOR SOME, UH, CAR PARTS
I FOUND BACK IN THE DAY.

I OWN CAR WASHES.

YOU OWN CAR WASHES.

ALL LEGIT.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS.

YO, ARE Y'ALL STILL WORKING
THAT SWEET PAD OFF DOHENY?

NO, WE MOVED.

Y'ALL MO--
OKAY, WHERE YOU AT NOW?

EAST SIDE.

WHAT YOU BUY, A HOUSE?

NO, APARTMENT.

WHOO!

PROBABLY ONE OF THEM ONES
WITH THE FLY VIEW, HUH?
HELL YEAH.

SEE? LOOK AT IT, MAN.

YOU OWN A PENTHOUSE,
MARCUS?

WHAT YOU THINK?

LOOK AT MY BOY MARCUS.

I'LL BE DAMNED.
YOU A BALLER, HUH, MARCUS?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

LET'S MEET TOMORROW
AT YOUR PLACE.

YOU SEE A MAN'S HOME,
YOU SEE THE MAN.

BUT I DON'T GET OUT OF BED
FOR LESS THAN FIVE BIRDS.

FIVE KEYS.

DUPREE HAS DEFINITELY
HIT THE BIGS.

A PENTHOUSE.

I MEAN, COME ON.
MARCUS IS A HIGH ROLLER.

WHAT'S TY
SUPPOSED TO SAY?

THIRD-FLOOR STUDIO
WITH A VIEW OF THE ALLEY?

WHERE THE HELL ARE
WE SUPPOSED TO GET A PENTHOUSE

IN 24 HOURS?

NOW THIS BULLSHIT'S
MY PROBLEM?

YOU'RE THE BOSS, RIGHT?

"CONGRATULATIONS
ON THE PROMOTION."

BABE, YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS?

I'M THE NEW LOAN OFFICER.

I BEAT OUT
10 OTHER CANDIDATES.

LITTLE OLD ME.

WELL,
THAT'S FANTASTIC, BABE,

BUT YOU TELL THIS, UH,
MARTY SIMMONS...

I.T. GUY
BEFORE YOU TELL ME?

BABY...

YOU'VE BEEN SO BUSY
I DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU.

YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.

I CAN'T GO AND RENT
A FURNISHED PENTHOUSE.

WHY NOT? CRACK OPEN
THE FEDERAL PIGGY BANK.

THERE'S FORMS, MEETINGS,
CLEARANCES --

IT'LL TAKE WEEKS!

IMPROVISE.

SHOULD I JUST RAID
SOME RICH DUDE'S APARTMENT?

MAYBE. THERE'S GOT TO BE
A TERRORIST AROUND

WITH A NICE PAD.

PATRIOT ACT STILL WORKS,
RIGHT?

YEAH, TOO BAD THERE'S
MORE CELEBRITIES THAN
FELONS IN THIS TOWN.

A LOT OF TIMES,
THEY'RE BOTH.

Dean: HEY, GUESS WHAT.

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING
OUR NERDY WHITE DUDE

WHO WAS TALKING
TO DUPREE.

LIVES IN ENCINO.

AND LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

HE'S GOT A NICE HOUSE.

NAME?

EDWIN FINN, AND HE...

HAS A CLEAN JACKET.

AND WHAT DOES
EDWIN FINN DO?

HE OWNS A BOXING CLUB
IN HOLLYWOOD

AND TWO RESTAURANTS
IN THE VALLEY.

MAYBE HE'S LAUNDERING
DUPREE'S CASH.

YEAH, OR HE'S SELLING
HIS DOPE.

EITHER WAY, STAY ON HIM.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING?

I GOT AN IDEA.

YOU EVER HEARD
OF RUBEN SINCLAIR?

YOU REALLY GONNA DO THIS?

I DIDN'T THINK THEY TAUGHT
YOU GUYS HOW TO BE CREATIVE.

YOU SAID "IMPROVISE."
SO...

YES?

MR. SINCLAIR,
I'M ALEX RICE,

A SPECIAL AGENT
WITH THE FBI.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.

WHAT FOR?!

YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT
FOR FAILING TO APPEAR

AT A CHILD-SUPPORT HEARING
IN NEW YORK TWO WEEKS AGO.

BUT MY LAWYER TOLD ME
HE TOOK CARE --
IS ANYONE ELSE HOME?

WELL, NO, NOT RIGHT
NOW, BUT LOOK, I TOOK
CARE OF ALL OF THAT!

PLEASE COME WITH US.

AW, COME ON, LADY.
THIS IS SOME KIND OF MISTAKE!

I MADE THOSE PAYMENTS!
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?!

I CANNOT BELIEVE

THIS IS LIKE
A REST-HOME CAFETERIA.

MAYBE WE CAN BREAK OUT A GAME
OF BINGO OR SOMETHING.

HEY, DADDY.

LOOKS LIKE MR. ROGERS
HAS A DAUGHTER.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

DID SHE JUST
GIVE HIM SOMETHING?
YEAH, I THINK SHE DID.

WHY, BECAUSE SHE'S HOT?

IT HELPS.

AH, THERE IT IS.

LOOKY, LOOKY, LOOKY.

THERE'S DRAKE PIMROSE.

OH, MAN, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM

HEY, YOU COMING OUT AGAIN?
DOUBT IT.

AH. DRAKE!

WHAT'S UP, SOLDIER?

WELL, I'M SO SORRY.

UH, REID'S ONE

OH, IT'S THIS FANCY POLO MATCH
IN THE HAMPTONS.

TRUTH IS, I JUST LIKE
LOOKING AT THE PRETTY HORSES.

OH, YEAH, I LOVE HORSES.

AND THE POLOS ARE THOROUGHBREDS
AND QUARTER HORSES, RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

YEAH, THEY'RE GORGEOUS.
STRONG, AGILE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT HORSES?

MY GRANDFATHER USED TO HAVE
A FARM IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.

USED TO SPEND
ALL MY SUMMERS THERE.

BUT, UH, WELL, LET'S JUST SAY,
WE DIDN'T PLAY POLO.

DID I HEAR YOU --
YOU OWN AN ART GALLERY?

YEAH. YEAH.

WE JUST CELEBRATED
OUR THREE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

WOW.

UH...WOULD YOU
LIKE A TOUR?

SURE.

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

FOUND THE ARTIST
ON VENICE BEACH.

I LIKE IT.

AND YOUR SPACE
IS INCREDIBLE.

THANK YOU.

NOW YOU'RE THINKING...

HOW CAN I
AFFORD THIS PLACE?

NOT AT ALL.

MY DAD'S
THE CHIEF INVESTOR...

AND ACCOUNTANT
EXTRAORDINAIRE.

SO YOUR DAD'S
INTO ART, HUH?

NO.

HARDLY.

HIS REAL PASSION'S BOXING.

SOUNDS LIKE A REAL
INTERESTING GUY.

HE IS.
HE GREW UP POOR IN WHITTIER.

SPENT EVERY LAST DIME HE HAD
ON MY EDUCATION.

WANTED ME TO BE A DOCTOR
OR A LAWYER, BUT...

I CHOSE THE ARTS.

MUST BE VERY PROUD.

HE IS.

EVERY TIME
I MAKE A BIG SALE,

I BRING HIM A BIG BOX
OF CIGARS.

HE LIKES THAT.

LUCKY ME, I GUESS.

'CAUSE, I MEAN, IF YOU
HADN'T MADE THE BIG SALE,

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
DELIVERING YOUR FATHER CIGARS,

AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE MET.

OH. FATE.

GOT TO LOVE IT.

YEAH.

YEAH, RIGHT.

UH, THANKS...

FOR THE PRIVATE TOUR.

IT WAS IMPRESSIVE, AND...

YOU GOT GREAT TASTE.
THANK YOU.

AND THANKS FOR THE DRINK,
BUT NEXT TIME, I'M BUYING.

NEXT TIME?

WELL, THAT'S, YOU KNOW,

ASSUMING THERE IS
A NEXT TIME, RIGHT?

THERE'S NO NEXT TIME?

I DON'T KNOW.

UM...GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

BYE.

HORSES?

TRUE STORY.

YOU ON A FARM?

YOU NEVER MENTIONED THAT
BEFORE.

YEAH, WELL...
IT NEVER CAME UP BEFORE.

YOU BUY THE CIGAR THING?

I DON'T KNOW.
SHE'S HARD TO READ.

SHE LOOKED PRETTY EASY TO READ,
IF YOU ASK ME.

THAT WAS ONE HELL
OF A KISS.

YEAH.
ALL PART OF THE GAME.

I KNOW WHAT I'M DOIN'.

DRIVE.

YO.

YEAH, MOVIE SOLD OUT.

WE NEED TO HIT
A DIFFERENT THEATER.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

Everything is fine.
Adams and San Pedro.

FLICK STARTS IN 10 MINUTES.
THEATER 9.

ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU THEN.

WHY YOU CHANGING
THE MEETING SPOT, MY MAN?

GOT TO KEEP HIM GUESSING,
MY MAN.

MY MAN.

OKAY, HERE WE GO.
HE'S HERE.

OH, YEAH.
IT'S PARTY TIME NOW, BABY.

COME ON.
MM-HMM.

Ty: WHOA, WHOA.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

DON'T WORRY.
NOBODY'S GONNA GET HURT.

WHAT YOU
TALKIN' ABOUT?
WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT JACKIN'
THIS PUNK, ALL RIGHT?

I'M SHORT ON CASH WITH SOME
OF MY BUSINESS PARTNERS.

WHAT BUSINESS PARTNERS,
HOMIE?

MY FRIENDS

NO.
I GAVE UP ON THE FIRST ONE.

HOW DID YOU GET 'EM,
ANYWAY?

DINNER, AND STOLE 'EM
FROM HER PURSE

WHEN SHE WENT
TO THE BATHROOM,

AND THEN HAD A C.I.
GO MAKE COPIES.

HOW DID YOU REALLY
GET 'EM?

[ DOOR OPENS,
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]

WE IN AT THE GALLERY?

NO, I TRIED, BUT GENIUS HERE
STOLE THE WRONG KEYS.

NOW WHAT?

WE MOVE FORWARD ANYWAY.
NO CHOICE.

LET'S GO.

DAMN.

WHERE THE HELL IS DUPREE?

PROBABLY CHURCH.
HE'S SUCH A FAMILY MAN.

OH, YEAH.

HE'S A REAL PILLAR
OF THE COMMUNITY.

SPEAKING OF THAT PUNK,
HOW'S YOUR HEAD?

YOU SURE THERE WAS NOTHING
YOU COULD DO TO PREVENT THAT?

HUH? BE HONEST.

OKAY, THERE'S
DEAN'S GIRLFRIEND.

WHAT THE HELL'S
SHE DOING HERE?

FINN'S HERE?

CAN'T TELL.

THERE'S DUPREE.

THAT'S IT.

PULL OVER, BITCH.
THE PARTY'S JUST STARTING.

CALLIN' OFF THE DEAL.

FINN MUST HAVE SEEN MARIA.
WE CAN STILL GET DUPREE.

HE'S GOT OVER 10 KILOS
IN THE BACK OF THAT TRUNK.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER,
SIREN WAILS ]

HELL NO.

ARE YOU A COP, BRO?

YEAH, AND YOU UNDER ARREST!

Dupree:

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!

YOU CAN WORK FOR ME.
I GOT YOU, MAN. I GOT --

I DON'T KNOW HOW

YOU'RE SMARTER THAN THAT.

AND YOU A COP, TOO, HUH?

SON OF A BITCH.

SO, THEN, BABE,
I START RUNNING, RIGHT?

FULL SPEED,
LIKE A FREAKIN' MANIAC,

I'M RUNNIN', AND...

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT CAME OVER ME,

BUT I JUMP ON THE HOOD
OF THE CAR,

I LEAP OFF,
AND I TACKLE THE GUY.

IT WAS CRAZY!

YOU NEED TO BE
MORE CAREFUL.

NO, NO, NO, BABE.
YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.

NOT BEING CAREFUL
IS HOW I GOT THE GUY!

ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY?

NO. MATTER OF FACT, BABY,
LET'S GO OUT, HUH?

LET'S HAVE A DRINK.

I CAN'T WIND DOWN
AFTER THAT ADRENALINE RUSH.

BABY, I GOT TO GET UP
EARLY IN THE MORNING.

BUT I'M GLAD
YOU'RE HOME SAFE.

I COULD BRING YOU
THREE GOOD DEALERS.

PRETTY GOOD SIZE, TOO.

YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS,
YOU NEED TO FLIP UP,

NOT DOWN.

GOT ANY FRIENDS
IN MEXICO?

HELL NO.

ENJOY WASCO.

20 YEARS SHOULD GO BY
PRETTY FAST.

HUH?

YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEE YOUR KIDS
GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT?

RAFAEL GARZA.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH HIM
IN TWO DAYS.

THE RAFAEL GARZA?

THAT'S RIGHT.

HIS COUSIN'S NUMBER TWO
IN THE TIJUANA CARTEL.

HOW OFTEN YOU MEET HIM?

ONCE A MONTH.

Carter:
WE TALKED TO THE D.A.

HE SAID IF YOU GIVE US
SOMETHING GOOD,

HE'D RECOMMEND LENIENCY.

SOMETHING REALLY GOOD?

EXTREME LENIENCY.

I ASSUME
GARZA'S REALLY GOOD.

CORRECT.

WHAT'S
EXTREME LENIENCY?

ONE YEAR...

AT AN ARIZONA
COUNTRY CLUB.

THAT DON'T SOUND EXTREME
TO ME.

THIS ISN'T A NEGOTIATION.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

GARZA'S NUTS, MAN.

I TALK, HE'LL WHACK MY WIFE,
MY KIDS!

MY DOG!
WE'LL PUT 'EM IN
WITNESS PROTECTION.

THAT CRAP REALLY WORK?

THEY'LL BE IN THE WIND BEFORE
GARZA EVEN KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.

DUDE'S LATE.

HE AIN'T NEVER LATE.

RELAX. STAY COOL.

I'M TRYIN' TO.

DUPREE.

YOU HEAR ME?

WHAT'S UP?

TECHNICAL PROBLEM.

YEAH,
THAT ALWAYS WORKS.

TELL ME YOU GOT
A BETTER IDEA?

WHERE'S GARZA?

OH, NO.

FREEZE! POLICE!

MOVE!

Man: UNH!

Carter: THAT'S NOT
RAFAEL GARZA.

Ty: NOPE.
ONE OF HIS HIT MEN.

WHAT'S HE WEARIN'?

THAT IS...

SAINT MALVERDE.

PATRON SAINT
OF MEXICAN DRUG DEALERS.

MUST BE HIS DAY OFF.

GARZA MUST HAVE BEEN
WATCHING DUPREE'S FAMILY.

GOT NERVOUS.

WE SHOULD HAVE WAITED
A FEW MORE DAYS.

COVERED OUR BASES BETTER.

WE MADE THE RIGHT MOVE.
IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT.

I GOT TOO ANXIOUS.

I COULD PRACTICALLY
TASTE THE BUST.

NOW WHAT?

I GOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I'M FLAT,
I GET A BEAD ON HIS ANKLE...

BOOM!

WHAT WAS HE CARRYING?
HE HAD A NINE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT IT DID
TO DUPREE'S FACE.

TRY EXPLAINING THAT
TO THE WIFE.

MM.

HOW YOU GUYS DOING?

NOT GREAT.

YOU KNOW, I COME HOME,
SHE'S WAKING UP.

LEAVE THE HOUSE.

THAT TAKES ITS TOLL,
BROTHER.

I BET.

I LOVE HER, DEAN,

BUT SOMETIMES I WONDER
IF SHE'D BE HAPPIER WITHOUT ME.

YEAH, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WOULD YOU BE HAPPIER
WITHOUT HER?

HOW'D EVERYTHING GO
WITH THE...

Alex: IT WENT FINE.

SAME OLD DRILL.

RIGHT.

SAME OLD DRILL.

I LIED.

I'VE NEVER...

I NEVER SHOT
ANYONE BEFORE.

I KNOW.

THIS ISN'T AN EASY SITUATION
TO STEP INTO.

I FELT I NEEDED TO --
I GET IT.

I GET IT.

YEAH?

WANT TO GO GET A DRINK?

OR THREE?

JUST A DRINK?

MM.

YEAH, JUST A DRINK.

YOU TALKED ME INTO IT.
