Fiona: What are we
running from, huh?
Thony: I've been helping Garrett
find evidence on a man.
Find us that ledger. I got it.
- [Crying]
- Arman.
Thony: He knows about you,
the kids, where we live.
[Gunshot] You have to go now!
Couldn't risk Sin Cara finding
out, not with this cargo.
Do you love her? No.
That's a marriage certificate

[Siren wails]
Ah. I've missed you, Mommy.
Come here. I missed you, too.
Thank you, Fi.
Yeah.
Yeah. You sure
you weren't followed?
Yeah, yeah.
H-He was fine.
Yesterday, he was running around
playing with kids,
and then he woke up
jaundiced this morning.
He won't eat anything.
Any fever? No.
Look at me, my love.
Alright. Where does it hurt?
Right here, Mommy.
Here.
Are you tired?
Any headaches?
My chest hurts, too.
It does? Is it hard to breathe?
Mm-hmm.
I've been giving him his meds,
all his meds, on time.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Complications can happen
after many transplants.
It's good you brought him here.
Should we rest a little bit? Hm?
Alright. Rest here for a little.
♪♪
It's his breathing
that worries me.
Could be something
other than liver rejection.
Like what?
I don't know.
I need to draw some blood
and do some tests.
I need to bring him home, Fi.
I thought you said this
Kamdar guy is still dangerous.
Until I have the clinic set up,
that's the only way
I can monitor him safely.
It could be serious.

you and Kamdar were married?

How did you find out?
So it's true.
♪ Seize the day, the day ♪
I can explain.
Well, go on.
I'd love to hear it.
You know how young I was
when I met Robert.
And after he brought me here,
sponsored me,
I felt like I owed him,
like I had to get married.
But it was a mistake.
And I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
But when I met you...
I knew you were the one for me.
And... And I-I don't know. I...
I didn't want to risk
losing you.
♪♪
I'm sorry.
[Speaking Spanish]
Por favor.
[Speaking Spanish]
It's all in the past.
In the past, Nadia?
You and Robert
are still married.
What are you talking about?
It's public record.
I looked it up.
You never got divorced.
Yes, we did! Yes!
We... We divorced after a year!
I-I-I signed the papers.
All this time,
he's been torturing me
knowing this.
It was you who made me look like
an idiot for not telling me.

[Door opens and closes]

Thony: Almost there.
That's the last one.
And we... are... done!
You've been very brave.
You know that?
What's going on here?
Hurts when I breathe, Mommy.
It hurts.
It does? Okay. Let me see.
Here?
Okay.
You're going to rest,
and Mommy's gonna go talk to,
uh, Tita Fi, okay?
Alright.
♪♪
I love you.
How is he? [Sighs]
Both his liver and his spleen
are enlarged now.
So it could be
a rare complication
when the blood flow
to the liver gets blocked.
H-How bad is it?
It could be fatal.
Arman's doctor, Dr. Saroyan,
said he could run some tests,
so I'm dropping off
the blood to him
before I pick up the new batch
of meds from Bosco.
W-Wait. You're doing a drug run
in the middle of all of this?
I can't be late for Kamdar.
And I-I still need
the meds for Luca,
along with other things that
could help him with the pain.
Well, what if something
happens when you're gone? I...
Fi, he's stable now.
He should be fine
until I get back, okay?
[Knock on door] It's Arman.
♪♪
- Hi.
- Hi.
Fiona.
Hi.
How's Luca doing?
I stabilized him for now. Oh.
Hopefully we'll know more
once Dr. Saroyan runs the tests.
Yeah, I wish I could help.
You are.
Call me if anything
changes, okay?
Okay.

Hey. Hey. Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
Who are these men?!
It's Sin Cara.
His men wear those masks.
I shouldn't have asked Bosco
to use the cartel route for us.
I did this to him.
To all of them.
I asked you to do this for Luca.
Do you think Sin Cara
can come after us?
Bosco would never give me up,
but I don't know about his men.
They know who I am. They know
what we've been doing.
So we need to
keep our eyes open.
But Kamdar is the threat
we have to deal with right now.
We need to tell him
we lost the meds...
and that we can't deliver.
[Grunts]
Nadia.
[Grunts] How dare you!
Thank you, Joseph.
You can leave us now.
I told you to file those
divorce papers years ago!
And you never did!
[Door closes]
It was only a matter of time
before you found out.
You don't own me, Robert.
You never did.
And now you've turned
my whole life into a lie.
Nadia, I'm so sorry.
I just couldn't bring myself
to file them.
A part of me was always hoping
that you might
find your way back to me.
So this was your twisted way
of keeping me.
No.
Why can't you see?
I knew I couldn't hold on
to someone like you.
But now it's... it's like
you've actually come back to me,
as I hoped you would.
I came to you to help Arman.
That's all.
I'm getting new divorce papers
sent to you.
When you get them...
sign them.
♪♪
[Door opens and closes]
Thony: Mm-hmm.
Thank you, Dr. Saroyan.
I really appreciate your help.
Thank you. You too.
[Beep]
Fiona: What did he say?
Is it what you thought?
The blood work confirmed
that it's sinusoidal
obstruction syndrome.
Hey.
Um, can he... can he treat it?
I mean, he's gonna send
IV morphine to control the pain,
but there's only one drug
that can really treat that,
and it costs $150,000.
Holy crap.
Can Dr. Saroyan get it for less?
Mnh-mnh.
And even if we had the money,
this drug is regulated
in the U.S.
It's only hospitals
that can prescribe it.
Okay.
So... So, what now, huh?
I can ask a-a friend of mine.
She's a doctor,
and she might be able
to send some
through Manila General.
But I don't know.
With the FDA restrictions,
I don't know if we can
get it through customs.
Thony, I mean, if you have to
take Luca back to Manila...
I can't.
He would never survive
the flight, Fi.
♪♪
I... I... [Sighs]
I-I want to Dr. Emralino when
she wakes up in a few hours.
And we'll see.
[Cellphone buzzes]
Kamdar's back in town.
He wants me to come in
and explain
what happened to his drugs.
Thony. Now?
Maybe I could...
I could get him to help.
Okay.
You watch for swelling
in the arms, legs, and stomach.
If the fluid builds up
in his abdomen,
it's gonna push
against his lungs
and he won't be
able to breathe. Okay.
I'm gonna have to do
an abdominal tap,
so, please,
you watch for those signs.
Mm-hmm. Yeah?
I promise. I promise, okay?
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
♪♪
[Door closes]
So what am I supposed
to tell my buyer?
That your business depended
on cheating the cartel?!
We can get more drugs, Robert.
We just need some time.
Late is late! That was amateur!
How do you think
that makes me look?!
No, you're done.
No, no, no, no! Wait, wait!
I have another way!
You know, I was
a surgeon in Manila.
I still have contacts there.
I could get the meds for half
of what we... we paid in Mexico.
You want to traffic drugs
out of the Philippines
in the middle of a drug war?
Corruption goes both ways.
We can work around it,
especially since we've been
moving legitimate drugs.
Once you establish
a distribution channel,
you could double your profit.
Just give me one good reason
why I should trust you
not to screw this up again.
My son is very sick.
I need a very specific,
expensive medicine for him.
Without it, he could die.
I can make it work.
I just need your help.
You get me to Manila,
and I will find
who's willing to be bought
for the right amount of cash.
I just need you to
get me back to the country.
I'm undocumented.
Oh.
♪♪
I need 24 hours
to make the arrangements.
But the cost of the plane and
fuel will come from your cut.
Alright. Yeah.
And if you don't find
a new supplier,
the plane comes back
without you.
Luca. Hey.
Now it's your turn
to take care of Tita Fi.
She loves to tell stories.
If you ask her,
you'll be very happy.
Yeah?
Mahal kita, Mommy.
Mak srolanh kon.
Alright.
I'll see you soon, my love.
So, his body is still
retaining a lot of water.
Try not to give him
too much to drink.
You can give him the morphine
whenever he needs it.
This is Dr. Saroyan's number.
Call him if his symptoms
change or get worse.
And I'll be back
in a couple of days.
Thony, I mean, how can you
trust this Kamdar guy?
I mean, he threatened you.
He threatened our family.
I mean, what if... what if you
can't come back into the country?
Then I'll send Luca's meds.
Fi, either way,
I have to go to Manila.
If I can't come back here,
then that's the risk
I have to take.
This is for Nanay and Tatay.
I haven't been able to give them
money for a few months, so...
I can't see them. They
threatened to take Luca back.
Okay. [Envelope crinkles]
I'll see what I can do.
Ingat ha.
I will.
If anything happens to me, I
want you to take c... Stop it.
Stop it. It won't.
Okay.
♪♪
♪♪
You here to see us off?
Oh, I've decided
to come with you.
I've got some business
I can do in Manila.
And if you're able to broker
a deal for those meds,
someone has to grease the wheels
to get them shipped back.
That won't be necessary, Joseph.
You're staying here.
No, this is our deal, Robert.
Actually, it's not.
When your Mexican route
was blown, our deal was done.
This trip was her plan,
not yours.
I need Arman to come with me.
No, he'd just be
taking up valuable space.
That's my plane. It's my rules.
Shall we?
♪♪
♪♪
[Sighs]
Any luck on Kamdar's ledger?
None of the accounts match up
to any real people,
and all the transactions
are coded.
I thought Morales was
supposed to help us with that.
He ID'd a few
of the low-level guys
that he's collected money from.
One might be connected
to a major syndicate.
There's a reason Kamdar's
never been arrested before.
He's smart.
That ledger is a way to prove
he backs other criminals.
That's why we need to keep
Arman and Thony in this.
But Kamdar murdered Maya.
That's what
he should do time for,
not some
criminal-profiteering B.S.
We've been through this.
Oh, come on, Russo.
Stop thinking about promotions.
Alright? And back me up here.
That's not fair.
I've always had your back.
I know.
I know. It's just, uh...
I mean, we pulled her
out of a damn river.
Don't you want him
to pay for that?
I do.
We just need to be
strategic about it.
♪♪
[Sighs]
Get any sleep? Not really.
Well, you should, you know.
There's a lot riding on this trip.
Who's your contact out there?
Um... she's, um, a doctor.
She's a friend of mine.
I-I was her mentor
at the hospital.
And her husband.
He's a pharmaceutical rep.
The penalty for drug trafficking
in the Philippines is death.
So what makes you think
your friends are willing
to risk their lives
just to help you?
When I had to step away from
my career to take care of Luca,
I recommended her to the board
to take my place.
And she's now chief of cardio
at Manila General.
The chief of cardiology.
That's a lot to give up.
The god-like power
of saving lives
just to become
a maid for criminals.
My life became about saving
one person's life... my son.
So that's what this trip
is really about, isn't it?
You're using me and my resources
to get the medicine
you need for your son.
Well, I think we're both getting
something we need
out of this trip.
Perhaps we will.
But if you don't come through
on this deal,
your son will get nothing.

in our community,
people without insurance.
You mean... off the books?
Yes. Medicine
is so expensive there.
I mean, it's over $100,000
for defibrotide.
That's American healthcare
for you.
I want to try to fix things.
I-I want to try to find ways
to get affordable medicine
for people who need them.
Talk to your politicians.
They're the ones making money
by keeping things this way.
Corruption is the same
everywhere.
Yeah, but I think
that there are...
non-traditional ways
that we could explore,

like to help me with that.

Thank you, Robert,
for what you just said.
It's been a long time
since someone believed in me.
Oh, my love.
There's no one...
No one I believe in
more than you.

It's gonna make you feel

Hmm?
My brave little one.
Mak srolanh kon.
Mommy, I don't want you to go.
Well, guess what.
I'm gonna be here
when you fall asleep
and I'm going to be here
when you wake... up.
Yeah. That's it.

Will the treatment work?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, whatever you went
through over there...
it was worth it.
I don't have all of
Luca's medication yet.
They're part of a shipment
coming from the Philippines
that Kamdar controls.
So he's still gonna want you
to work for him, huh?
He's not gonna give them to me
until he knows
that I have the pipeline
up and running for him.
Thony.
I mean, how are you ever
gonna get out of this?
I don't know.
But as long as he's helping me
keep Luca alive,
I'm gonna do it.
That's all I can
think about right now.

Isabel.
I wasn't expecting you.
Sorry. I should have told you.
We just got a buyer
for La Habana.
Oh.
In fact, he's meeting me here
now to sign the paperwork.
[Knocking] Isabel: Hello.
Robert?
Isabel: Oh, you two
know each other?
She's the reason
I'm buying La Habana.
I've been a fan of this place
for years,
so when she told me
it was on the market,
well, I couldn't let
the opportunity pass me by.
Isabel: Well, that's great news.
Nadia and Arman have done a
wonderful job managing the club.
Maybe you could keep them on.
I've always valued Nadia.
We go way back.
The notary will be here soon,
but in the meantime,
you could start reading
the purchase agreement.

There's something
you need to see.
A couple of fishermen
just pulled a gun out of
the Colorado River 40 yards
from where we found Maya.
We searched that area.
How the hell did we miss it?
All I know is,
we just found it now,
and the ballistics are a match.
Any prints? A partial.
Forensics is working
to salvage it now.
If they're Kamdar's, we got him.
Kamdar would never
pull the trigger, Miller.
You know that. What do we got?
We're still running the print,
but there's enough there
to find a match.

- Seriously?
- It's only a partial print.
You're gonna have

Wait a minute. Hold on.
