MARCO: Previously on The Bridge...

I'm Jack Dobbs.

Uh, so, you here to see someone?

Your brother.

I'm Sonya Cross, Lisa's sister.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

What's going on down here?

Yesterday, someone tried to kill me.

It was one of my own men.

AGENT: What do you plan to do in the US?
ELEANOR: Work.

(AGENT STAMPS DOCUMENT)



AGENT: Have a nice day.

HANK: What the hell is that?

TIM: There she goes.

(DOOR LOCK RATTLING)

ELEANOR: Help me.

DEX: Come on.

I'm out of here, dude.

ELEANOR: Please.

I need help.

I'm cold.

- What happened to your clothes?
- (PANTING) Uh...

There was man blood on them.

We should call the police.



Oh, no, no, no. Please don't.

I'm fine.

You can help me.

Okay.

What's your name?

Kyle.

Have you known grace, Kyle?

Grace. The light
that goes through everything.

Uh...

I don't know.

I've used up all of mine.
Maybe it's not too late for you.

What are you doing?

Help me. You have to help me.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Please, please.

If you help me,
I will let you touch me down there.

KYLE: Here.

I don't wear pink.

Come on,
they'll wake up if I go back in there.

It would be bad. I've never worn pink.

It's for whores and little girls
who want to be princesses.

Okay.

Something else, please, Kyle.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

KYLE: (WHISPERS) Here.

What's his name?

Danny. What are you doing?

Can you see it?

See what?

The light coming off him.

KYLE: We should go now.

You should say goodbye to him.

Okay.

Goodbye.

(THEME SONG PLAYING)

Until I'm one with you

My heart shall not
pass through

Until I'm one with you

Our love will be mistaken

(GRUNTS)

Sit. Good dog.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

- Tore the carotid.
- HANK: Yep.

SONYA: Doesn't look like a knife wound.

Did the job, though, didn't it?

SONYA: Why not a knife?

Used what was handy, I suppose.

So, unplanned. Self-defense.

Maybe, maybe not.

Why keep the car running?

HANK: Took a while for him to bleed out,
I suppose.

Plus, these electric jobs, you can't tell.

Be nice if something
about this whole thing made sense.

I think there was a woman in the car.

HANK: You took a personal day yesterday,
didn't you?

Yeah.

What for?

I have 32 unused personal days.

- Did you go see Dobbs?
- Nope, I didn't see him.

Dobbs' brother?

Yes, we had lunch. (SIGHS)

What for?

I gave him a picture. We just talked.
He's nice.

What'd you talk about?

Lisa. We talked about Lisa.

That man's brother killed your sister.

That doesn't make him a criminal.

Statistically speaking,
there's no reason to assume that.

Bullshit.

Would you be talking to me like this
if I was a man?

- No.
- Right.

You're right.

- So, why don't we just work?
- Okay.

Okay.

- SONYA: Morning.
- Morning.

Sonya Cross, El Paso PD.

That your work?

I told them I don't do that kind of thing.

- I was gonna call you and...
- They made you do what, sir?

The dog?

Uh...

I assume you're here
about what's in the basement.

Right?

They, uh, came in about a month ago.

Didn't say
where they got my name or number.

They just said they had a job.

SONYA: There were two of them?

Uh, yeah, a man and a woman.

And this woman, she was kind of peculiar,
you know?

- Get their names?
- No, ma'am.

(STAMMERING) I didn't ask. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but I was very clear with them.

I told them I did not want this job.

The partner, he said he was going to

- cut off my hands and kill my entire family.
- (KEYS JANGLING)

Plus, they paid cash. Uh...

(STAMMERING) It's right in here.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Taxidermist said
he took this bullet out of the dog.

What about the body?

Well, the beetles
pretty well took care of the prints,

so we'll submit dental records.

Okay.

Okay.

(SIGHS)

HANK: Hey!

Joe, what can I do for you?

That's our dog, Yankee.

The dog was mentioned in a crime
scene flyer your department circulated.

Well, we were hoping for help
identifying the John Doe in the car.

I'm gonna need to see the complete file,
everything you've got.

You want to tell me why?

Won't know until I've seen the file.

MAN: It was a man and a woman.

And, like I said,
I never saw either 'em before in my life.

That him?

(STAMMERING) Oh, yes, yes, ma'am,
that was him.

- What about the woman?
- Well, she was like the boss.

She had this big ledger book, and she went
around taking notes about everything.

And she dressed kind of funny.

Um, Churchy or Amishy.

So, no dope in the car,
no dope at the taxidermist.

Is the DEA
taking an interest in stuffed dogs?

We are now.

The John Doe you found at the taxidermist
is Jimmy Tecca.

One of ours. Undercover field agent.

The dog, too.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Sorry for your loss.
However, we caught the case. It's ours.

No, not anymore.

They say anything about the body?

Um, they weren't too happy
when I said I needed to beetle it.

They wanted it mounted?

Posed, yes, ma'am, but it was too far gone.
Maggots and off-gassing,

and not to mention the illegality of it all.

Uh... (SIGHS)

But the problem was
they had it in a storage unit.

Two days in this heat,

- there ain't nothing I can do.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)

(DOOR OPENS)

(INAUDIBLE)

Um...

Caramel?

They're from France.
They've got this sea salt in the middle.

They're hell on the crowns, but I like 'em.

- I don't do sugar.
- Why not?

It's poison.

Okay.

So, um, tell you what.

Why don't we sit down,
and I'll tell you what I got,

you tell me what you got, and
we act like law enforcement professionals?

That's good.

Yeah. Here, have another one.

Who's that?

Lead investigator, Sonya Cross.

Sonya, this is Joe McKenzie,
and Pete Rivas from the DEA.

- Come on in.
- Close the door.

Multiple stab wounds to the carotid.

Passenger fled the scene. You know him?

Yovani Garza.

- He's an escort for Fausto Galvan.
- Hmm.

- SONYA: There were no drugs in the car.
- We've been over that, Sonya.

You get a description of the passenger?

Uh, female, brunette.

Taxidermist said
she has some sort of, uh, ledger with her.

- Thought that she was in charge.
- Interesting.

HANK: Does that ring a bell?

Could be a girlfriend. We'll look into it.

What about Agent Tecca?

Agent Tecca and Yankee were
responsible for over three tons of seizures,

dozens of arrests in Ju?rez.

They put a serious dent
in Fausto Galvan's operation.

When did he go missing?

Last month.

Our suspects
wanted Agent Tecca mounted,

but the decomp was too bad.

These people are depraved.

We'd prefer you leave out
mention of the taxidermy.

- Something like that can hurt the family.
- Absolutely.

I personally trained Agent Tecca.
We're on the same bowling team.

Okay, um, so how do you
want to chop this up?

Since Tecca was ours,
we'll take the lead on that.

Good. We'll take Garza.

What about the passenger, the woman?

Yeah, we'll want to be in on that, too.

Just don't make any moves
without coordinating with us.

Good.

And I want the dog.

Oh, I'm sorry,
the dog is evidence in this case...

The dog is a goddamn hero.

I'm not gonna have it sitting
in some evidence room gathering dust.

- That is against...
- HANK: You got a deal.

Brought you a PBJ.

- Are they gone?
- Yes.

Is it safe?

Yes.

I got on the bus and ditched,
just like you told me.

Good boy.

So, do you want to touch me now?

Yes.

But not here.

(ZIPS)

Do you drive?

Just have my learner's permit.

So, you drive.

Only with an adult.

I am an adult.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

- Time for your daily two?
- Not yet.

How's that going?

Go a lot better three hours from now.

Don't give me that look.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

300 pesos for the first hour,

180 pesos for each additional hour.
Pay in advance.

And we out of towels.

Come on.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SIGHS)

Can I get two Cokes?

Sure you don't want to
throw some whiskey in there?

- We're working.
- Oh, yeah, I forgot.

You know, it's rude to stare.

How can you not? He's 6'4"' and gorgeous.

I'm finding myself genuinely aroused.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Raul Quintana.

You're not saying it right.

Bonito, Raul Quintana.

Hmm?

(SINGING) And I'm stronger

Strong enough to ride

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

So, you are like...
That was muy, muy, muy es caliente.

We want to ask you some questions
about your Aunt Millie.

How did you find me?

Your landlord.

Shit.

- Who sent you?
- Nobody.

We're with the El Paso Times.
We just want to ask you some questions.

DANIEL: Yeah, look,
a week after your aunt died,

you and your relatives were deported.
Uh, look, Daniel Frye. The Times.

Six months after getting asylum.

This doesn't mean shit to me.
How do I know you're not cops?

(LAUGHS)

Trust me, I'm not a cop.

Did they give you a reason
when they deported you?

- I'm not doing this.
- No, no, please don't go.

Yeah, anything you can tell us, at all,
about the 60 million bucks,

and your aunt, that'd be amazing.

We just want to know how
your aunt got mixed up with the cartel.

Cartel?

I'm not talking about this.
I want you to leave now!

No, no, chillax, bro. Just relax...

(GROANS)

ADRIANA: Oh, my God.

- Daniel.
- (GROANS)

(KNOCKING)

TIM: You were right.

Come take a look.

A fishing buddy at ICE
got me this an hour ago.

SONYA: Hank seen this?

Nope.

The DEA requested the same footage,
same time.

There's your dead guy.

- Stop. Run it back.
- (TYPING)

There.

Would you call that "'churchy"'?

I'd call that downright devout.

Print it. Put out an APB.

Run it by Hank? Loop in the DEA?

They didn't inform us
they pulled the ICE tapes.

- Put it out.
- Yes, ma'am.

(TYPING)

(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

(MARCO SIGHS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(ABELARDO SIGHS)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

S?, him.

(SIGHS)

Please tell me that's a bag full of Oxy.

- I got you aspirin.
- Aspirin's useless.

Hey, if anyone ever asks, I did this
defending your honor at a biker bar.

Yeah, whatever.
You really screwed us on this, Daniel.

It's not my fault.

It's me.

No, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Sorry, honey, I had to do that. Does it hurt?

Uh, just a little.

I didn't want to be seen talking to you.

Weird shit has been happening
since my aunt died.

DANIEL: Is someone following you?

All the time.

- Who?
- I don't know.

Why would
somebody want to be following you?

The person you want to talk to is Chuchito.

He helped my aunt with the money.

In what kind of way?

You have to ask him.

Were you guys friends?

Something like that.

I'm worried.

Haven't seen him in a week.
I'm afraid to go by his place.

- Why?
- I'm telling you, I'm being watched.

Okay, relax.

If you find him,
can you tell him to call his bomboncito?

- I get it.
- No.

Something happened to him.
Now, please, I have to go.

(DOOR CLOSES)

You wanted something?

Yep. Come on in. Close the door.

- (SIGHS)
- (DOOR CLOSES)

You didn't tell me
that you had Cooper pull that ICE video.

We got an image.

And you went ahead
and put out an APB on this woman?

- Yes.
- You were here, Sonya.

You heard
what we had agreed to with those guys.

We owe them a heads-up
on something like...

We need to find her
before she goes back to Mexico.

We need for you to follow protocol.

They didn't share the ICE tapes with us.

(SIGHS) Sonya, something like this
is liable to set them off.

They could shut us out...

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry.

(SIGHS)

You're mad at me because of Jack Dobbs,
aren't you?

HANK: Nope.
This has nothing to do with that.

Yes, it does.

What do you want to know, Hank?

I had sex with him.

And I'm sorry about the APB.

Apology accepted.

- Okay.
- Okay.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(GATE CLANKS)

You remember me?

Yeah.

I don't remember you and your brother
being that close.

We weren't.

Good to see you, Detective.

- Wish I could say the same.
- (CHUCKLES)

(SNIFFS)

(SIGHS)

Prefer if you didn't smoke around me.

- Not a smoker?
- Was.

Know better now.

You want something or is this just some
good old boy meet-and-greet routine?

Just want to talk to you about someone.

Maybe you should have this talk with her.

It's not my place.

So, you came to see me? (SCOFFS)

See, Sonya has a focus problem.

(SIGHS)

She gets too focused,
makes her a great cop,

but personal life is not so good.

I think she can handle herself.

It's not her I'm worried about.

One thing this job teaches you
is that bad doesn't just happen,

it's bred in.

Now, you might be
a fine member of society,

contributing to the betterment of mankind.

But he's your brother.

You share the same blood.

You share all the same messed-up shit

that went into making the kind of human
that takes the life of another human.

That's in you, Jack.

I know that sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

(INHALES)

(SNIFFS)

We both know
what happened in that hotel room.

You tell her that?

Do the Christian thing,
see your brother into the ground,

and then go back to where you came from.

(GATE CLOSES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SIGHS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in.

Close the door.

Are you an ogre man, or a troll man, Rivas?

I like Call of Duty and pussy.

You make up your mind?

That shitbird Fausto Galvan
was gonna hang our friend on a wall.

So, let's hang him on one instead.

She's in El Paso.

- You want me to get some guys together?
- No.

I want to let the local cops chase her,
let them break trail.

- We should be lead on this.
- No.

The second we file an action report on this,

DC hears about it,
and we have the CIA all up in our shit.

- So, we're careful.
- And quiet.

The last thing I want

is the Mexican government snatching him
for their "'New Mexico"' PR campaign.

Either scenario, he's not
getting ass-raped in a Colorado supermax.

I want the whole enchilada.

Fausto Galvan arrested in the US,
convicted in the US,

and locked up in one of our prisons.

Are you with me?

ADRIANA: It's right up here.

Who do you think we're gonna find?
Chuchito or Chuchita?

(SIGHS)

- Four, yeah?
- ADRIANA: Yeah.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Might as well try, right?

- ADRIANA: Daniel!
- Ah, it's open.

- Hello?
- (DOOR OPENS)

Hello? Chuchito?

- (WHISPERS) Quick, quick, quick, quick.
- ADRIANA: What?

DANIEL: Go, go, go, go.

(GROANS)

- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.

(EXHALES)

Stinks.

- Hey, throw this over your face, huh?
- Thank you.

(EXHALES)

- Hello?
- Daniel, Daniel, we shouldn't.

It's only bad if we get caught, right?

(EXHALES)

"'Rayburn National Bank."'

Daniel! Oh...

Daniel!

(DOOR CREAKING)

Don't open it. Don't open it.

Too late.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(DOOR CREAKING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Yovani Garza.

Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

No.

Marco Ruiz.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi.

Hi.

Wow.

What happened to your finger?

I'm replacing the bathtub. The tiles are bad.

You know how to do that?

No.

Mmm, okay.

Can I come in?

Sure.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Would you like a glass of water?

Yeah, sure. Thank you.

(FRIDGE DOOR OPENS)

I'm sorry about the other day.

You came all this way to apologize?

- Mmm, no. Not really.
- (WATER POURING)

Yovani Garza case, you have it, right?

Yes.

DEA is involved, too.

Okay.

That changes things.

He's one of ours.

A Mexican national.

He's cartel.

Yes.

Captain Robles sent me here
to work the case.

With you.

He's sending you
to keep an eye on the Americans?

Yeah, something like that.

Well, I'm glad it's you.

Me too.

Can I see what you have?

Sure.

That's all we got.

MARCO: Not a professional job, you agree?
SONYA: Mmm-hmm.

Who else was in the car?

He crossed with a woman.

Kind of strange-looking.

Yes, she is.

Do you recognize her?

No.

Okay.

So, show me everything you have.
(SIGHS)

ELEANOR:
Your friend who saw me in the park.

KYLE: You mean Dex?

ELEANOR: Dex. Where does he live?

KYLE: What?

He's cute. I want to know where he lives.

On Keller.
It's the green house with a hoop in front.

Address?

I don't know. Like I said, it's green.

Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Why do you have all those tattoos?

They are marks to remember
the demons I've known.

- Okay.
- (LOCK CLICKING)

Not real demons.

Ah, cool.

What's that smell?

A raccoon. It crawled in here and died.

Oh.

ELEANOR: It's okay.

What's shared in private
should be kept private.

Do you agree?

KYLE: Yeah. I guess.

Have you been with a woman before?

No.

Would you like to touch?

KYLE: Here?

Yes.

(STAMMERING) I can't see anything.

(SIGHS)

That's okay.

The light will come.

It will pass through you.
