The Oath (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Episode #2.6 - full transcript

I know someone
that witnessed the shooting.

- Somebody who says it was G?
- It's a child.

I'm taxin' the Ravens
for what we're losin'

because that asshole arrested G.

- Hey!
- Come on! Come on! Come on!

If you had a witness,
I'd still be in jail.

I just don't want to put this person
in your sights, man.

Who is it?

Move.

I did not rape your mother.

We slept together once.
Consensually.



Wake the hell up, or get out!

'Cause I'm not the one who's lying.

Dani told her friend
that men with guns

broke into your house a few nights ago.

I'm going to ask the Department
of Children's Services

to do a home check.

They trust you yet?

They don't even trust each other.

It's about time I meet
these people myself.

Start layin' track for an intro.

This relationship you got
with the cartel...

It's gonna end badly.

They're not gonna let us walk away.

Then I need someone
I can trust runnin' it.



I don't want to go to jail again.

- Can I help you?
- DEA! Hands where I can see 'em!

What the hell's goin' on?

The DEA has their hands
on the cartel's throat,

and it's just a matter of time before
our connection to them comes up.

I'll find Price
and get the answers we need.

She can't come to the phone right now.

But maybe I can help.

Your brother's
running his own program,

and Price is gonna help him do it.

You don't wanna hear
the truth, do you?

That your son is a traitor.

What are you gonna do about it?

I will talk to him.
Face to face.

That's a bad idea.

What did he say?

- He wants the Ravens to work for him.
- And?

Listen, I said what I needed to
to get out of that room.

That doesn't mean
I'm gonna do it.

So, you're gonna say no?

Yes.

Good.

I'm glad to hear that,

because there are a lot of people
that are still loyal to my family

that want to see my father
back in power.

- What the hell's goin' on?
- You OK?

Where's Cole?

Texted him to meet us,
but he never showed.

Ricardo's taken over the cartel.
Killed anyone loyal to Ignacio.

- What about Carmen?
- She's saying what she has to

so that he doesn't lock her up
like her father.

And he tried to kill Price.

But she got away.

Shit.

Why'd he have Hector
take you to him?

He wants us to organize
the other cop gangs.

Get them all working
strictly for him.

- Not happening.
- But you told him no, right?

Just like Carmen,
I told him what he wanted to hear.

But as far as we're concerned,
it's a no.

How do we distance ourselves from this
without it going south?

We back Carmen.

Are you fucking kidding me?

It's the lesser of two evils.

This isn't about Barry
or that man. This is about you.

You said we should always
tell the truth.

I did. And I would never
ask you to lie.

We just want you

to not talk about this.

To anyone.

He killed Barry.

And God will judge him for that.

Just promise us. Please.

You know what,
Barry wouldn't want you in danger.

And that's what will happen
if people know that you saw the shooting.

You said tellin' the truth
builds trust in an untruthful world.

I say a lot of things.

But I'm just a man, son.

I'm not always right.

You was about that.

Dani, are you OK?

Isabel Williams.

I'm with the Department
of Child Services.

I'm taking Dani into state protection.

The hell you are.

Here's the court order.

So you go to college?

Are you kidding me?

Maybe I would have
if you'd been around to pay for it.

Must be nice

having all these young women
constantly throwing themselves at you.

Not really.

You learn to set up
some pretty firm boundaries.

How do you mean?

I teach in a class with
more than 80% women.

Many of them would be
more than happy to...

threaten or flirt their ways
to a passing grade.

Don't try and tell me
you don't date.

You're in your fifties,
you're not dead.

Yeah, I'm careful.

Bad relationship
could end my career.

It's why I keep my office hours
in a public area.

Hey.

Excuse me a minute.

AreAre you here officially?

What do you mean?

With Mr. Everett.
About the accusations?

What accusations?

Sorry to bother you.

Officer Hammond.

Can we speak?

About what?

I'm looking for Aria Price.

Any idea where she's at?

Ignacio Velasquez.

Freed during transport
by a heavily armed, well informed group.

There's also security contracts
that tie you to Carmen Velasquez.

What does one thing
have to do with the other?

Everything. I'm gonna
let you in on something

so we can both stop
wasting each other's time.

Aria Price is out
because I let her out,

and I did so not because
of information she gave me,

but information that
she would be gathering for me.

So she was an informant?

"Was"?

Is she dead?

If you got a case, arrest me.

If not, piss off!

I have everything I need to indict you
and the rest of the Ravens

for what you did with Ignacio.

But it's the cartel I want.

So what I'm doing here...
is giving you a choice.

What's the ask? Exactly.

Price is either dead or on the run.

Either way, I need a new informant.

One that's already inside and trusted.

Ignacio isn't running things anymore.

Ricardo is.

Good. He's impulsive.

Makes him easy to manipulate.

Are you in? Or out?

This decision isn't just mine to make.
I need to run it by my guys.

No, this deal is for your ears only.

And it's not a free ride.

There are consequences to actions.

Once we take the cartel down,
you go to jail as well.

Then why would I do it?

Because for every cartel member
you testify against,

your sentence gets reduced.

- Not interested.
- You'll be the only Raven to testify

and the only Raven we'll prosecute.

So you'll keep all my guys out of it?

As long as you do what's needed.

I've been lied to before,
so I want it in writing.

That's not a problem.

We need to get Ignacio back in custody.

And you need to find out
where he's at, and tell me.

He's being held by Ricardo's men.
I don't know where.

Then find out through Carmen.

And put a target on my back?

She's gonna know
I was the one who gave him up.

You broke him out.

It's only fair that you help
get him back.

- Where are you, Cole?
- Cole's tied up right now.

Where is he?
The fuck's my brother?

He's safe, for now.

You remember what happened when
Neckbone fucked with my family, right?

This is happenin' because
your brother crossed the line.

And I ain't Neckbone.

He's still alive.

And he'll stay that way, as long as
I get what I want,

What is it you want?

I'm hearing there's a witness
to some work I put in.

But your brother won't tell me
who it is.

So before I go to an ignorant place
and beat it out of him,

I figured I'd ask you.

Take me to him.

Take me to him
and I'll get you the answer you need.

No, you won't.

You'll just try something stupid.

You touch him...

we're goin' to war.

So think real hard
about your next move?

You got 24 hours.

If I don't have a witness by then,

then I'll do something stupid.

You feel me?

You already have.

Clock's ticking.

We're not really gonna give up a witness
to that asshole, are we?

No.

I need you two to start sniffin' around
G's territory.

See if we can't get a lead
on where they're keepin' him.

But we better keep it low-key,

'cause G hears we're doin' it,
he'll kill Cole.

Steve.

Cole's not the only problem.
I can see it on your face.

There something else going on?

Yeah.

We're a family.
We handle this shit together.

So tell me. What's up?

You trust me, Karen?

Of course I do.

Then stay out of it.

Please.

- Hey, you got a sec?
- Now's not a good time.

DCS took Dani away from me.

What?

Shit!

- Yeah.
- I'm sorry, Chris.

I don't know what to do.

Listen, you're not alone, all right?

There's a lot of shit goin' on right now,
but we got your back.

I promise, we'll get your sister back.

You hear me?

Yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

Why the sudden interest?

If there was a witness to a murder,
I need to know about it.

Where's Cole?

He's tied up on somethin'. Why?

I already told him about this,

and he agreed it's better
the kid doesn't come forward.

The kid?

Don't do this. Please.

I'll find another way
to keep G off the streets.

And tell your friends, too.

No more comin' here,
askin' questions.

Friends?

The other cops.

They were here this morning.

Asking about the witness, as well.

They have a name?

I'm pretty sure one of the name tags
said Jones.

You leave a message
saying it's important I call,

and then when I do,
you ignore me.

There's a lot goin' on right now.

No kidding. You look like shit.

So why don't you tell me
what's up?

I need you to shut down
the security business.

Leave a letter of resignation on the desk
where someone can find it,

and just walk away.

- Is it that bad?
- Yes, that bad.

And you need to distance yourself,
brother.

Talk to me. Talk to me. C'mon.

You were right.

So just fuckin' do it.

No.

The Vipers are puttin' in work for G.

And the witness he's lookin'
to wet down is a kid.

So giving him up is a non-starter.

Yeah. We need another way
to get Cole back.

If the Vipers are workin'
that closely with G,

they gotta know where Cole is.

So how do we get them to tell us?

We ask an ugly way.

They're still not gonna say shit.
I know those guys.

Then maybe we point out

there's a shitload more money to be made
workin' for the cartel.

Hey.

Got answers for me?

If you want the cop gangs
in your back pocket,

they'll need cash up front.

Money motivates.

No, no. We pay for services rendered.

We don't do retainers.

Ricardo, the only way the other cop gangs
are gonna take this arrangement seriously

is if you outpay the competition.

- How much are we talking about?
- Two hundred thousand.

And even then,
there are gonna be holdouts.

But a majority will agree.

Comin' over to our side?
Where the real men are?

Where's Cole?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- Anybody?
- Snatching a cop is crossing the line.

What do you think's gonna happen
if G kills him?

He'll be dead.

Like them.

These three.

They died in the line.

McNabb here ate his gun after he retired
and his old lady left him.

This guy.

You guys remember this loser?

Yeah, this is a dumb ass
who's stupid enough

to think he could rob
the Colombian cartel.

That's not on us, though.

Towards the end,
that sellout was more Raven than Viper.

I know you all feel his pain,
but you need to sit down.

You ain't gonna shoot a cop.

You ain't a cop to me.

Take a seat, assholes.

Whatever G's payin' you, we'll make sure
the cartel doubles it.

Just tell us where he's at.

We're not interested.

He speak for all of you?

What, money ain't important?

If it involves you assholes,
no amount of money brings us to the table.

Stop being a dick. Where's Cole?

Go fuck yourself.

You two post up on Jones,
we'll take G.

See if that visit
creates any movement.

Holy shit.

Never know what you're gonna need.

That stuff isn't department issue.

Let's go.

So why we back in bed
with the cartel?

Thought you didn't
want to hear about it.

Same reason we do anything.
We're on a money chase.

You see that look in Karen's eyes
when she came at Jones?

Yeah.

She don't do grief like normal people.

Never understood her and Foster.

I don't think she did, either.

What does she do
like normal people?

That's what I'm telling you.

You don't play by the rules.
You make them play by yours.

If it was me...

It's not you. It's me.

When it comes to my sister,
I'm not takin' chances.

You want her back,
you do whatever it takes.

Put this under the tire well
of Jones's car.

It's that ugly-ass Camaro over there.

Hey, listen.

Take your time, do it right,

and don't be seen.

Got it.

- Yeah?
- Can you talk?

Yeah. About what?

I want you to tell me
exactly what he did to you.

Why?

OK, I will.

And Mom...

thank you.

You OK?

Yeah.

Fuck!

Help! Help!

Son of a bitch hit an alarm,

- we need to move him!
- I'll be there in five.

Let Steve know
Jones is on the move.

Jones is mobile.

Jones.

What's your 20 and direction of travel?

East on 7th Street,
crossing Cloverfield.

Move him, let's go.

Get him in the trunk.

Don't even think about it!

Back up.

Move away, Jones.

Move away.

Back up!

Easy, bitch. Easy.

Back up. Got him, Ramos?

Yeah.

Yo, back it up, back up!

He's in.

Get G on the cell.

Tell him we lost Cole.

Thank you.

Sit down, old man.

And you too, lady.

Now, you know why I'm here.

Just give me a name, and...

we're out of your lives.

Son, I have no idea
what you're talkin' about.

- Aah!
- Don't you touch him!

We don't know what you're talking about!

Yeah... you do.

I'm gonna give you five chances,
and then it's over.

Arm, arm.

Leg, leg.

And head.

Get off me!

I need to ask the same question.

He doesn't...

He doesn't know!

Is that right?

Do you know?

Same game.

Different target.

- Aaah!
- Stop it!

- Stop it!
- I will.

When you give me an answer!

It's me! I me, I'm the witness!

- He's a cop.
- Come on, man, move!

Man...

This is only temporary.

For how long?

I don't know.

Not forever.

I'm gonna get you back.

I don't wanna stay here.
I wanna go with you.

They won't listen to me here.

I know.

I'm gonna bring you back home.
I promise.

OK?

Yeah.

Just gotta try and be strong.

Cole.

Want me to come in?

I know it's late. I'm sorry.

Drink?

This isn't a social call.

Let's make it one.

If you want to talk business,

you probably should be
talking to my brother.

Right?

If I'm doin' business with your family,
I'd rather it be with you.

That's not your decision to make.

Do you know where
Ignacio is being held?

- Why?
- If I can free your father...

what's in it for me?

Depends.

What are you after?

Qué?

- Qué paso?
- We need to talk now.

OK. I'll see you here in an hour.

Hey.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- You said it was important.

Yeah. I need to ask you something.

About?

How long have you been teaching
at the university?

This one... seven years.

And before that?

Why?

These are complaints...

filed by female students
and faculty members

from the last three places
that you've worked.

They're all the same.

But you kept your job
because there's nothing in here

that you couldn't dismiss
as a misunderstanding.

- Or consensual.
- This is...

I don't want to hear
your side of the story.

- I want to hear theirs.
- There's nothing here...

My mother told me
exactly what you did to her.

It's hard to believe I came from
your pathetic set of balls.

Now, when I let go,

you'll suffer for a little bit,
but the pain will fade.

What you do to these women...

- never leaves them.
- All right! All right!

Aaah!

All right, what?

- She might have felt that...
- Don't go there.

Say the word.

Say "I raped her."

I raped her. I raped her!

From now on,
you keep it in your pants.

Because if you don't,

I'm gonna come back here
and rip that fucker off.

Go! Go! Go!

Habla.

We have the package.
Heading back to home base.

So now what?

We focus on Ricardo.
