[tires screeching]

Get out of the van now!

- All right, all right.
- Move, move!

All right, all right,
I'm moving!

[indistinct chatter]



[grunts]

[tires screeching]

Let's go!

[chains jangling]

[speaking Spanish]

What about the money?

As soon as he's a safe distance
from here,

you'll both get what was
promised.

- [siren blaring]
- Hammond, we gotta go!

[tires screeching]

[siren blaring]

- [grunts]
- Right now! Right now!

[theme music playing]

Don't give me that look.

I turned a shit situation
into a pay day.

A job as dangerous as this is
worth more

than just getting that gun back.

Deal was we break him out.
Why are we still with 'em?

Until he lands somewhere safe,
the job's not over.

What the fuck...

Must be an accident.

We got a possible issue
in the number three lane.

Yeah, I see 'em.

- [Steve] Think they do?
- Let the other cars know.

[Ramos]
Two in front, one in back.

[horn blaring in distance]

[phone vibrating]

Heads up. We might have company.

[Carmen] Let the
Ravens handle this.

[horns blaring]

Eyes.

[horns blaring]

Tell Steve it opens up
once we get past this truck.

Go!

[Eli]
Get down! Get down!

Don't move!

[screams]

Son of a...

Shit!

[Carmen]
Get everyone to our father!

[gunshots]

[Eli] Target the third SUV.

- [gunshot]
- [grunts]

Get out! Get out!

Move out!

[gunshots]

[Eli] Get up!

They got Cole!

[Eli] Nobody move or
we shoot him.

[screaming]

Who the hell were they?

- Ramos.
- Yo.

Check with dispatch and make
sure

nothing from that freeway

- is leading the field units back
to us.

- Copy.

The rest of you get over
to the street fair and

socialize.

Make sure they see your face
and remember you were there.

Listen...

this wasn't about the money.

No!

We needed that gun back
and now you've muddied the

waters!

All right...

so I got them to sweeten the
deal

for a couple hundred grand.

And why not?
The club needs the money.

You're being played.
We can't do this.

[panting]
You were voted out four months

ago.

Your dad is sick of this shit
and fucked off.

So I run this now. Not you.

We just gotta find the pricks
that took Ignacio...

and then we can get
their father back.

Hey...

I'm just fixing what
you fucked up.

- Come on.
It's for the community, people.

- Thank you.

Hey, we got a bogie at our nine,
Carl.

Hey! Alligator arms.
Free to the public only.

You better find a way
to reach those pockets for a

donation

if you take that goddamn burger.

- Put it on my tab?
- I ain't running any tabs.

Good. Because I wouldn't pay it,
if you were.

Save that smile for Kraley.

He's the one you gotta impress,
not that prick.

All right.

[Carl] Let's go, folks.

[Beach] We should've known
that shit was gonna go south.

Look, I don't like it anymore
than you do,

but Kraley's in charge.

Now, you making yourself noticed
like Steve said?

Without pissing people off.

We're the good guys,
remember that.

- Hey, how's it going?
- Hey.

What can I get you, ma'am?

Uh, well, this little man
would love a burger. Well done.

OK. Well done, coming right up.

- Here you go, little man, well
done.

- Thank you!

You're welcome.
And what about mom?

You need anything?

Oh, he's not mine.

Oh, good to hear.

Excuse me?

No, I meant... just nice to
know.

You know, that's all.

If the two of you are done,
the rest of us are hungry too.

- Name's Amber.
- My name is Cole.

And I'm single.
I'm just saying, Amber.

All right, bye now...

I'll take mine well done.

Oh, man... what you did
right there, man,

I mean that was a straight up
block.

You know that?

- A block?
- Yeah, a block, you know what

I'm saying.

No. I'm not quite sure I do.

And since that's my daughter
we're talking about,

why don't you explain it to me.

- Hey, uh... you got a sec?
- What?

Y'know, anything you need,
I got you.

I'm down for the Ravens.

- OK.
- I mean it.

Hey, leave the man alone
and go flip some burgers.

Yeah.

- What the hell was that?
- She wants ink.

You don't just come
out and ask it.

- She knows that, right?
- Yeah.

- [grunts]
- What?

My back.

- Man up. It's not that heavy.
- I've got a blown disc.

- Then get it taken care of.
- I am. Going next week.

Yeah?
Make sure your replacement's

better looking than you.

I just want to thank you and the
station

for participating in this.

No worries.
Just our way of showing

we support the community.

Do you?
Because I still hear stories

in the neighborhood

about people being
jacked by cops.

- Jacked?
- [Pastor Greg] Profiled.

Stopped and searched
without probable cause.

Excessive force used on them...
Should I go on?

Change starts with dialogue.

And that's why we're here,

make sure that both sides
see each other as people,

not stereotypes.

And all the money goes back
to the community.

Specifically, your church.

And we appreciate that...

but some would say
that money isn't a Band-Aid

for a generation of abuses.

[clears throat] Then we'll just
have

to keep doing more, won't we?

I sincerely hope you will.

[Kraley] Colombian
friends want to talk.

[Kraley] If they wanted him
dead,

they would've killed him on the
spot.

Someone's gonna call and ask for
a ransom.

I'll put money on it.

Yeah, that's why we're here.

Maybe you already
know who has him?

What does that mean?

They knew he was
being broken out,

and only my men got shot
when he was taken.

Bullshit.
We had nothing to do with it.

None of our people talked.

- They're both lying.
- Stay the fuck out of this.

You gonna make him, marica ♪

[speaking Spanish]

We want him back.
No questions asked.

We don't know who did it.

You don't know?

I will pay five million if you
find out

who did, and bring him back to
me.

[speaking Spanish]

Make it ten.

[laughs] No.

How do we know you'll pay up
if we do find him?

[speaking Spanish]

I will pay you your money.

You have my word on that.

We don't know you.
And your word means nothing to

us.

So, until we get that gun back,
we're not doing anything. Hmm?

You want a gun!

How's mine, huh?

I never break my word as long
as obligations are met.

Find my father, Kraley.

One in the head.
Just like I did with your FBI

friend...

I'll find you. I'll find you.

♪ Look, they say they
wanna walk ♪

♪ But they ain't been to war
With somebody like me ♪

[sighs]
Five million reasons.

That's why.

Yeah, if they pay.

He's their father.
Head of the cartel.

They'll pay.

[door opens]

Hey, what's she doing here?

Steve said he's got unfinished
business

with her.

[knock at door]

- Come in.
- [door opens]

Thanks for coming, Tara.

When I reached out to you,
it was for answers.

You promised me you had some.

So tell me... what
happened that night?

[screams and whimpers]

The report was true.
It was Russian gangsters.

They tortured us for information
about a bust we made...

and when they didn't like the
answers,

they killed Damon.

But listen, we will find the guy
that killed him.

And we will get justice.
I promise.

Well, then, answer
me honestly...

were you helping him in the RICO
case?

Or were you the reason for it?

Well, right now we need each
other.

You understand?

We helped him.

To help ourselves.

So then, why not just tell me
this

over the phone.
Why ask me here?

What is this?

We collected some money in
Damon's memory.

That cashier's check is
what we raised.

[sighs]

No, this is a lot of money.

Keep it.

If you don't need it now,
save it for your son's college

fund.

Damon would've wanted that.

Please.

[door closes]

I thought I smelled
something bad.

That hurts.

- No, it doesn't.
- Oh, come on, you miss riding

with me?

- [Hoke] Admit it.
- [Beach] Don't flatter yourself.

I was glad to go back to
a one-man car.

Especially when I found out
you were transferring to the rat

squad.

Yeah? Well, when you hear this,
you're gonna be happy I did.

A reporter called,

looking for an official comment
on a story they're about to

drop.

What kind of story?

An exposé on cop gangs.

- Are you shitting me?
- I wish I was.

But they mentioned you
specifically.

The police commission is freaked
out.

I mean, obviously it's bad
for the department's image.

They're gonna come in here
and snatch all of your badges

just to cover their asses.

Who's the reporter?

I-I can't tell you that.
We both know what you're gonna

do.

All right?
That's only gonna make

things worse.

Come on.

I covered for your ass
a ton of times.

Give me something.

Like what?

Anything.

- Who's the source?
- I don't know.

Bullshit.

I don't.

But for you I can find out.

Goodbye! [laughs]

[footsteps approaching]

Oops. Oh! [laughs]

Hey, princesa.

Hey.

Why don't you go into your room,
and let your father and me talk,

OK?

We don't need to talk.
I'm here to see my daughter.

Not you.

Yeah, and you will.

After we talk.

Go, mija, go.

It's OK, princesa.
I'll be right there.

This is bullshit.

Don't you ever talk to me like
that

in front of my daughter again.

I talk to you the way I have to.

What happened to Don Ignacio,
it's all over the news.

I wouldn't know
anything about that. Or care.

Come on, Pete, don't lie to me.

Not if that little girl means
as much to you as you say she

does.

Huh?

You think we want to be
in their debt?

You did this to us.

If I hadn't stepped in, you
and the other Ravens would all

be dead.

You didn't save our lives,
you sold them.

[chuckles]

We done here?

By now you know what these
people

are capable of, right?

They might hurt Veronica
if they felt it necessary.

- No, that will never happen.
- You're wrong, Pete.

As long as you remain in her
life,

that will always be a
possibility.

Veronica's happy here.

But most importantly,
she is safe.

You took my wife...

I will not allow you
to take my daughter as well.

You had no right giving
her our money!

- [Cole] We've got nothing now.
- What?

I gave Byrd's widow
a hundred grand from the

pension.

- We owed it to him.
- The hell we did!

And that ain't the worst of it.

Article's coming out
about cop gangs.

- Specifically mentioning the
Ravens.

- And specifically naming her.

- Why you?
- We're working on finding out.

Maybe it's because
she keeps pissin' everybody off.

- I give it how I live it.
- [Kraley] Enough.

Even though he pissing away our
pension,

and she's dragging us into a
shit-storm...

- there's still a silver lining
to this.

- Bullshit.
We're screwed.

So what if we are?

Who needs badges?
We get that

five million, we got fuck you
money.

What?

We're not ignoring the article.

Kraley, we need to
make it go away.

Fair enough.

So we got two problems.

The most profitable one being
the Cartel.

So let's handle that one first.

You two, pay a visit to Tristan.

He sold the intel
about the transport to us.

Find out who else knew about it.

[Steve] Listen, I know Tristan
pushes

your buttons, but stay focused.

- [Cole] I feel ya.
- [door closes]

How'd it go, Pete?

Not good.

Divorce is part of the job.

I got no sympathy on that.

It's not about the divorce
anymore.

It's about my little girl.

Steve.

I lose my visitation if Lourdes
and her

father can convince a judge I'm
unfit.

It'll shake out.

First the FBI, now the Cartel...

We gotta get out of this cycle.

If we get this money,

we gotta use our
share to go legit.

Go legit?

What the fuck would you two do?

The opposite of
whatever you're doing.

[chuckles]

[Carl] Hey.

I need a word.

What about?

My goddaughter's
busting my balls.

How do you feel about her?

She's a bit young for me,
don't ya think?

Don't even go there.

Honestly I don't know
anything about her.

Before he ate a bullet,
her dad rode with you.

How much more you need to know?

It's not gonna happen.

She's not her old man.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!
What do you guys want?

- [Beach] To talk.
- Talk about what?

Somebody took Ignacio from us,
after we took him from you.

Now, how the hell do you think
that happened, huh?

You had him.

Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, man! Don't touch my leg!

You do that again I'm gonna yell
for staff to throw you out.

He's gonna yell for staff
to throw me out this hospital.

Since the two of you have
history,

why don't you wait outside.

Yeah, go outside.

That way if he starts to get
loud,

you can just explain to the
staff

that we're doing
physical therapy.

What?

[door opens]

There. Thank you.

[beeps]

Hey.

Remember me? From the barbecue?

Cole, right?

Yeah.

Your dad ain't around here,
is he?

Why? You scared?

Hell yeah, I'm scared of him.

[Cole laughs]

But I'd like to take you
to dinner sometime.

Why?

Because I want to get
to know you.

I only sold that info
to you guys.

Then you must've been running
your mouth

in front of the wrong people.

I didn't.

All right!
But I'm not the only one

who knew that was going down.

Who else then?

[scoffs]

Supervisor, all the guards
on that detail. Everybody.

Did they sell it to someone?

No.

[screams] No!

My sergeant mentioned it
to an old partner of his.

This old partner of your
sergeant,

he have a name?

[sighs]

Eli.

I'm gonna need more than that.

Look, I can't, all right?
I don't want to start a turf

war.

He's in a club?

[groans]

Yes, all right? He's a Horseman.

Horsemen are Port police?
Why are they interested in our

guy?

I don't know, bitch.
Why don't you ask them.

Why do people keep
calling me that?

[Tristan screams]

[vehicle approaches]

Don't embarrass me on this.

I'm under pressure here.

You get that, right?

No.

Of course you don't.

[door opens]

What's he doing here?

Mind your business.

[Kraley] I hear you've dealt
with the Horsemen before?

Tell me about it.

There's not much to tell.

Neckbone wanted the ports
to move a little weight,

Winters contracted a deal
with the Horsemen, splitting the

tax.

Neckbone's gone,

so who's dealing with
the Horsemen now?

I want the corners back.

- Jesus.
- No.

We have nothing to talk about.

Because whatever you got going
with

the Colombians is gonna pay.

He asked why you wanted to talk.
I didn't say anything other than

that.

She's telling the truth.

I don't know what you got
going on with them, I don't

care.

All I care about is telling my
people

we're earning again.

Look, we gave you those corners
because of what Winters did.

That debt is now paid.

It's time to give them back.

OK. You got the spots back.

Mexican cartel took
Neckbone's place.

The Horsemen shut us out of the
deal

as soon as they did.

[door opens]

We'll give Carmen the
information

and if they get the old man
back...

[door opens]

...we should get a percentage
of the reward as well as the

gun.

They're not gonna go for that.
And I don't want a percentage,

I just want my five
million bucks.

Kraley, for once in your life
think about someone other than

yourself.

Someone else?

Last I checked our fingerprints
aren't on the gun. Just yours.

So the way I see it,
it's you just thinking about

yourself.

[door opens and closes]

My brother, Ricardo, was
contacted

by the Mexicans a few hours ago.

It's about turf.

They want our product
out of the city.

So give them what they want
and get your old man back.

My brother would start a war
before he did anything like

that.

I need you and the Ravens.

We're not interested
in getting between you,

your brother, and the Mexicans.
That's a no-win situation for

us.

You and I have a lot in common.

We're both trying
to move in better directions,

but at the end of the day
we're just at the mercy of other

people.

And because of it,
there's a new deal in place.

What's that supposed to mean?

When you called
and said that we needed to meet,

I was curious
as to why Kraley wasn't joining

us.

So I called him.

- Son of a bitch.
- In his defense, he did make new

demands.

Like what?

An extra million.

And a sign of goodwill.

[speaking Spanish]

If you give me that,
why should I help you?

For the money,

which Kraley says
you need to get out of this

life.

♪ Sunup to sundown
My people get it ♪

♪ Distressed jeans, Timb boots
And a Yankee fitted ♪

♪ The way the chain hang

[police sirens blaring]

[police radio chatter]

- License and registration.
- What'd I do?

I have the right to know.

You absolutely do.
And that's why

I'm gonna put it in writing for
you.

Now give me your license
and registration.

This is why people hate cops.

The feeling's mutual.

[phone ringing]

Anything?

[Hoke] Yeah.
You're not gonna like it.

[Kraley] We all got needs.

You want your daughter back,

that six million
would get you the best lawyer in

town.

- I say we chance it.
- They're not hood rats we're

dealing with.

They're a lot more
dangerous than that.

Back me up on this.

He's right.

I'm gonna need that money,
Steve.

Kraley?

What's up? I'm busy.

Carl told me you said no.

Yeah, I did.

Can you just hear me out?

- Look, I ain't got time for this
shit.

- Look, look, look, I lead

in arrest stats over
at the 14th.

If I stayed, I would've
been treated well,

but I didn't.

Because ever since I was a kid
I looked up to my dad.

I need to know that he's looking
down

on me and he's proud.

Transferring here and becoming
a Raven would've been what he

wanted.

Bullshit. I knew your old man.

He would've wanted his kid
far away from this kind of shit.

It's not just about me.

Now that he's gone I'm
responsible

for raising my little sister.

You can't do that on a
cop's salary.

I need to earn.

Your problem, not ours.

- What was that all about?
- [Kraley] Says she wants to

earn.

So, let her. Her old man
was a stand-up guy.

Yeah. But we don't know her
like we knew him.

- You don't see the similarity?
- What are you talking about,

man?

The only reason you got ink

is 'cause of your dad
and your brother.

You know, the polite thing
would've been to call before

stopping by.

We know you're running
protection

for the Mexican Cartel.

So what about it?

We earn however we want.

Last I checked I don't need
any other club's approval on

that.

What, you looking for a date?

How'd you hurt your arm, man?

[Eli] He scratched himself
on a rusty nail.

- Place is full of them.
- Hey, cut the bullshit, Eli.

We want to end this
before it gets any worse.

[Steve] Listen.

How much is it going to take for
you

to walk away from the Mexicans?

We earn because once
we take a job,

we finish it.

So there's nothing you or the
Colombians

can offer that will change that.

We'll see about that.

Cole!

What do you...

[grunts]

I didn't go to that reporter,
he came to me.

[scoffs]

And that makes it OK?

Do you know what you've done?

I answered some questions.

You saw a chance to stick
a knife in my ribs and you

jumped at it.

Has there ever been
a day in your miserable life

you gave a shit about me?

You had three squares
and a roof over your head,

didn't you?

You ever give a shit what I went
through

to put them there?

- You were my mother.
That was your job.

- Oh, I did my job.

Never a thank-you, never an
ounce

of appreciation from you.

Appreciate what?

You treated me like I was dog
shit

under your shoe.

You wouldn't even look at me!

Just like that.

You hated me from the
day I was born.

Turn away.

Just kick me down and turn away.

That is your best trick.

Every time I looked at you...

Every time I look at you,
you wanna know what I see?

I see him.

Your so-called father.

Coming at me.

Holding me down.

I begged him to stop,
but he just...

pulled my legs apart
and rammed himself inside me.

He didn't give a shit.

Got what he wanted.

And I got you.

Dispatch, it's code-four re:
unit 33 Adam.

She's out on a citizen flag
down.

You can cancel the grid search.

[Dispatcher] Copy that.

[phone ringing]

Amber?

- Hey.
- Hi.

Here's the thing.

The worst date I ever went on
was with a doctor

and the second worst was a cop
and

the third worst was another cop

and the problem was the same
with all of them.

They had no interest in anything
but getting me into bed...

and I decided I'd never go out
with

another doctor or cop...

and that's me right now
and that's who you'd be taking

to dinner.

I'm interested, yeah, but...

I'm not that guy, all right?

A connection either
happens or it doesn't.

I'm not gonna try to force it.

I'm gonna call you back.

How about we meet
tonight for a drink?

At the wine bar on Third.

11:00 p.m.

OK?

I'll be there.

I'd like that.

Hey.

You didn't kill her, did you?

[sighs] No.

Kraley needs us to meet him.

About what?

He didn't say.

[sighs] Yeah.

Shit!

Uh-uh, you're coming with us,
asshole.

Turn around, Briggs.
Turn around.

Let's go.

Get in there.

No, stop.

Oh, you're gonna wanna
lose that hand.

He don't like to be touched.

We need to talk about
the Mexicans.

You know,
instead of sending these

assholes...

you could've just asked.

Yeah, but see, that would've put
us

on equal footing.

And I just don't like equality,
man.

Well, I hate to break it to you,

I'm not scared of them.

And I'm damn sure ain't
scared of you.

We'll see. Venga.

- No, no, no.
- Stay here.

My brother will
handle this part.

He's a cop.

I'm not gonna let you hurt him.

Is he a cop?
Or is he a gang member?

- You can't be both.
- Well, we fuckin' are.

So listen to what the man said.

[Carmen] Your call.

Families are out of bounds.

Not to us.

Relax.

Men will do almost anything
to protect their family.

He'll do what we want.

Vamos.

My father is being held
in building forty at the Port.

He's being watched
by a group of Mexican nationals.

So we don't make things any
messier

than they need to be,

we want you to go and
get him back.

The Mexicans are dangerous.

I'm not worried about the
Mexicans.

I'm worried about the Port cops.

You need to keep your men
off that part of the Port.

We'll need his uniform shirt
and his access card.

OK.

Bring my father back safe.

Once you do, you'll be paid
what you were promised.

Look at this. [scoffs]
This shit doesn't even fit me.

Stay focused. I want us
all going home in one piece.

We will. So long as
Eli called his guys off.

You know he's gonna retaliate
for this shit.

Of course he's gonna.

[Kraley] We'll worry about that
when we have to.

Focus on this.

[Cole] Shit!

What?

I was supposed to meet someone.

[Ramos] Well, don't
text right now.

That shit will ping off the
nearest

cell tower and pin us to this
location.

He's right.

If this goes south we don't want
them

tracing us back to a cartel
site.

Port Authority left about
20 minutes ago.

- Haven't seen any movement
since.

-[Beach] What's she doing here?

Kraley's seeing if she can hang.

That's not a very good idea.
I don't even like her.

- I can hear you.
- I know.

Hey, stay on the perimeter
and keep an eye out.

We'll take care of the inside.

By the time they realize we're
not

Port cops, we'll have the drop
on them.

We're in, we're out, no one
pulls

the trigger unless we have to.

- Let's go.
- Copy.

[door beeps]

On me. Cover down.

[door opens]

- Show me your hands.
- [Ramos] On the ground!

[Kraley] Don't even
think about it!

Play it smart, dick for brains.

Tell me where your friends are.

[door opens]

[Kraley] Goddamn it!

What are you doing here?

[Steve] Oh! You motherfucker!

[grunting]

[Ricardo] Leave him.
We need to get to my father.

Hammond!

Go that way!

[gunshots]

[grunting]

[Steve] He's hit!

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

- What the...
- Shit!

- He ain't here.
- Yeah, but it looks like he was.

Look, this place is gonna be
crawling

with uniforms pretty goddamn
soon.

And we ain't gonna be able
to explain this shit...

let alone that I'm dressed
like one of them.

Well, come on, let's go.
Come on.

[gasping]

Don't touch it.

[gunshot]

I had it handled!

Did you?

Next time...

it goes in you.

No!

I will find you.
