- Shane!

I'm about to go to work and I need you out of bed

before I leave.

Shane!

If I have to come in there to get you,

I'm bringing the water gun.

Whoa!

Well, what's that?

- I got a job interview.

- You did?

That's amazing!

Okay, well call me afterwards and tell me how it goes.

I should be home by dinner.

- Wanna pray?

- Pray? Like, for the job?

- Yeah.

Guys always prayed overseas before the raids.

- Yeah, sure.

You want me to do it?

Okay.

Um.

Hey, um, this is Kristy and Shane Tanner,

and we want to ask the universe

and everyone up there,

um, and...

- Jesus.

- Yeah, Jesus, yes.

He's one of the big ones.

Um, we want to ask that you give Shane this job

because he really needs it

and it'll help him get his life back in order

and help him stay out of trouble.

And it will help his sister keep from worrying about him.

Amen.

- [Shane] Amen.

- [Kristy] You think that was good?

- I think it counts.

- Okay, good luck.

I'm proud of you.

And, um, call me after it's over,

and maybe stay away from certain places when you're done.

- Yeah.

If you're talking about Pappy's, it closed.

- It closed, like, forever closed?

- Yup.

Bet you're gonna miss it.

- Okay, um.

I don't know when I'm gonna be home tonight,

so definitely call me.

Good luck.

(soft dramatic music)

(Tre sighing)

(Tre spitting)

- That's awful.

That is awful.

- Hey, don't go anywhere.

I got an idea.

Pappy's is closed.

I mean permanently.

- That's good, man.

- Yeah, well this could be what we need.

- Need for what?

- A sting?

- Right.

- I'm listenin'.

- All right, well, with Pappy's shut down,

the supply is gone, but the demand is still there,

and that can create bigger problems unless we strike first.

- So, uh, a solicitation sting.

That's interesting.

- And I can have the whole thing up and running

within a few days and it wouldn't interfere

with anything you have going.

- No, this.

This could be big.

I want in.

- Oh, sir, no. I can take the lead.

- No, no, you're onto something here.

I love it.

Great job.

Go get the group in the conference room.

We'll walk through the details, all right?

- But, sir.

- [Sgt. Tomlinson] Appreciate it.

- So what were they movin' through Pappy's?

- Oh, little bit of everything.

Oxi, heroin.

They brought in the heavy hitters.

- Yeah, for real?

Even here, huh?

- [Travis] Oh, yeah.

- So we're doin' a drug sting.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Where you think they're movin' the stuff now

with Pappy's gone?

- Yeah, well, I've thought that one out.

Right here. Vacant parking lot.

Abandoned building.

I mean, plenty of abnormal activity over the years.

Everyone knows about it.

So, supply diminished, prices go up.

Buyers get sloppy.

- I got you. I got you.

All right, so when are you thinkin' about doing this thing?

- Tonight.

As we all know, Friday nights,

it's prime time for the underbelly of East Bank to surface.

It's payday and folks are lookin' for entertainment.

At 2300 hours, right off Route 234,

there's this parking lot right here.

It has a history of traffic.

We have reason to believe there'll be an influx

of new shoppers, I guess you could say. (chuckling)

- And we're gonna keep the team fairly small.

But if we're going in tonight, then we need to find

an experienced professional to be our bait.

- Couldn't you do it?

- What do you think, Kris?

Throw on some fish nets and a halter?

- No, that's not my thing anymore.

- Do you have somebody else in mind?

- No, I haven't gotten that far.

- Okay.

- I can do it.

- No, absolutely not.

We'll find someone.

- No, I want to.

I think it would be fun.

Or exciting, I guess.

I never get to do field work, so.

- It works for me.

That is a team player.

Thank you.

We need more people like you.

- I make a special brew of coffee for the office.

It's rich in antioxidants.

It helps boost cognitive and physical performance.

It's smart coffee.

- Okay, so we are over here at the far side

of the parking lot.

Patrol guys, you guys are here.

And we got our plants right here.

So we're far enough off that we got eyes on,

and you guys are hidden like that,

and so but you're close enough to make arrests.

You following?

- Yeah, no, I got it.

But Travis, this whole thing seems a bit ambitious

to me, man.

I mean, why are we rushin', you know?

Shouldn't we just scope the place out

for a week or two?

- Oh, we'd be ambitious if we were in Dallas,

but this is small town Texas.

I don't need a drug task force.

I mean, I am perfectly capable of executing

something like this in a day.

- Okay, look.

You know, if this is something you really want to do,

I got your back.

So we're gonna let Precinct One know that we've got

this thing going down?

(Travis sighing)

- Wasn't planning on it.

- Really?

Are you gonna let dispatch know?

(Travis sighing)

- This is our precinct

and it is none of Tomlinson's business

what we do here.

Besides, I don't want him stealing my ideas.

- Stealing ideas?

Man, this is a drug sting.

It's not a pickup line.

- Well, we could put them right there as over watch.

- All right, man.

What about fake dealers?

Who we got for that?

- I got two guys who are gonna be perfect.

- So these are our guys?

- Yup.

Be sure to fill out the back if you want credit.

- Got it.

- Thank you.

- All right, fellas.

I'm Detective Millwood.

I'll be workin' with you guys on the sting.

- Name's Mel.

- Mel. And?

- Razor Blade.

- What?

Razor Blade?

Your name is Little Tim.

What are you talkin' about?

- It's Razor Blade now.

What's your deal?

- That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my life.

- Well, what if I don't wanna be Little Tim anymore?

- You ain't right in the head, fool.

Your name is Little Tim.

And I'm gonna call you Little Tim until the day I die.

And that's that.

- Well, I got feelin's.

- Oh, we talkin' about feelin's.

- Yeah, feelin's.

- You cared about my feelin's when you brought me

into the situation?

- Yeah. - Hey!

Hey!

- Messed my life-

- Hey! Hey!

We don't have much time!

And I gotta make sure you're gonna be ready.

(Mel scoffing)

- [Mel] Right.

- Are you up for this?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Okay.

Just remember to be desperate for the money.

You have to sell that.

You have to make them believe you.

And do not ever get in their car.

They're gonna ask you every time,

but you always say no.

You always refuse.

It's not worth the risk.

- Okay.

Got it.

- Okay.

Hey, I'm gonna be here the entire time, okay?

But remember everything --

- That I told you.

- Got it, bro.

Stand in the light where they can see us.

Give the secret signal once we make the drop.

And stay out of your way.

- And?

- And don't look over at you.

We've got it.

- Exactly, 'cause we don't wanna tip anybody off.

- Don't worry about it, man.

This trap house is hot.

- Yeah, they'll show up for the mud.

- Mud?

- Dope.

Stuff, you know?

Cocoa puffs, A-bombs.

- You mean heroin.

The diesel, right?

- My man.

The smack, the kicker, the dragon.

- The birdie powder.

- What's birdie powder, bro?

- Okay, we don't need to play the name game.

Let's go.

- Hey, Travis.

You know, if we would've asked Precinct One for some mics,

I think this would've been a lot easier.

- No, I got this.

They got earpieces.

We're goin' old school.

- Shane, you're not responding to my texts

and I'm dying to hear how it went today.

So let me know. Call me.

And if it didn't go well,

that's okay, because you're trying.

Okay?

Um, also I'm not gonna be home till really late,

so just call me or text me and let me know.

Okay? Bye.

(Kris sighing)

Everybody on?

- I'm here.

- Yeah, we're good in the wagon.

Just waiting for the boys to show up.

- Copy, Kris.

We're in position.

(Travis sighing)

- [Millwood] You nervous?

- No, no, no, I'm not nervous.

I'm just excited, I guess.

Well, I mean, that's not the word for it.

I just got adrenaline pumping and, I don't know.

- Yeah, I get that, too.

It happens.

- You know, depending on how many we snag tonight,

I mean, you know, could cause a stir.

- Stir?

- Yeah, I mean, nothing negative.

Just, you know, people take notice.

That's a good thing.

I can't wait to see Tomlinson's face

when he finds out.

- Yeah, I guess.

But don't tell me we out here just for politics.

For the stir.

- Huh?

No, no, no, no.

No, that's just a bonus.

Mel, Tim.

Turn your head to the right if you can hear me.

Look, I'm right here.

Just remember, signal me when they take the package.

(Travis sighing)

- Okay, I think we've got one.

Hannah, this is all you.

Ah.

Come on, Shane.

- [Cop] Hey, we've got another one inbound.

(soft dramatic music)

(engine rumbling)

- You got this, girl.

- [Man] Hi, gorgeous.

What you got goin' on?

- I don't know.

Where are you going?

- Okay, ask him what he wants and how much he'll pay.

And make him be specific.

- What is it that you want exactly?

I mean,

what's in it for me?

(indistinct voice over mic)

- That's it. Go!

Go! Go! Go!

- Police! Show me your hands!

Show me your hands!

(dramatic music)

All right, get 'em up.

- All right, all right.

(soft dramatic music)

(man sighing)

(soft dramatic music)

- Hannah, you did awesome.

So good.

- That was...

- Boring.

Dude, I'm so bored.

- Hush.

We don't need you to ruin this with your dang ADHD.

- I don't have ADHD.

We've been out here forever.

If I could just self-medicate a little bit.

- Shh, shut up!

They might have mics all over us.

- Why is he waving at us?

- I don't know, man.

Are those guys even on the level?

- I thought they'd be like a magnet here

on a Friday night.

- It ain't lookin' so hot right now.

Most dealers I done picked up.

They wouldn't be standin' there like that.

- If this sting flops, we might as well call

Bill Tomlinson our new chief and congratulate him tonight.

- Travis.

Look, man. For real.

Are you okay?

- No, no, I'm not okay.

But when we have some crackheads in our backseat, yeah.

Then I'll be okay.

(door clicking)

- Hey, nice work.

- Thanks.

- How many times has that black sedan been by?

- Ah, think it's three.

- Do you think he senses something or?

- Nah, he's just, he's just scopin' her out.

He'll stop. Just wait.

I promise.

You know, honestly?

This could not be going any...

- Worse.

I don't get it.

Did somebody tip off every druggie in town?

- I don't know, maybe we should just call it a night, man.

- Call it a night?

No, I'll wait here till the morning if I have to.

- Look, I like the way you're thinkin',

but maybe we just need more time to set it up, man.

- Yeah, yeah, I get that.

But the city manager is looking for somebody

with initiative, someone who can get things done.

This was an opportunity.

- What does the city manager have to do with our department?

- Amanda is seriously considering me

for the next police chief.

Okay?

- Okay, so it's Amanda now.

Wow.

Okay.

(soft dramatic music)

- You got it.

Reel him in.

(phone buzzing)

(police chatter)

- So you're gonna tell me what it is

you really wanna do or are you gonna make me

get in the car with a stranger?

- Baby girl, don't worry about it.

Look, I got plans.

I got some for both of us.

Come on, already.

(soft dramatic music)

Let's talk in the truck.

Come on.

(soft dramatic music)

- [Cop] Kris! Kris!

What are you doin'?

- Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Banks, light up the truck!

(sirens wailing)

- [Cop] Police! Freeze!

(sirens wailing)

Show me your hands!

Keep 'em up!

- Contact.

Come on.

(dramatic music)

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

Hannah, you got in the car.

Why did you get in the car?

- I waited for your signal, but I didn't hear anything.

I figured it would be suspicious if I didn't get in the car.

But it's fine, we got the guy.

- No.

- Hey, what was that?

- Hey.

He was harmless. We got the guy.

I'm fine.

- You know, maybe you weren't quite ready for this.

But you, you're a tiger.

That's what you are.

Never stopping.

- Hey, we done out here?

- No, let's hang out.

See if some more freaks make an appearance.

(soft dramatic music)

- Fellas, we're wrapping this up.

You guys can head on back to the station

and we'll follow soon.

- [Cop] 10-4.

- I'm gonna look like an idiot if Amanda

catches wind of this.

- Ah, yeah.

There's Amanda again.

- Excuse me?

- Nothin', man.

I didn't say anything.

- Bill Tomlinson could be the next police chief.

Do you want that?

You know that guy?

He's a loose cannon.

He is an egomaniac.

- I get it.

Travis, man.

Look, if you wanna be the chief of police,

then man, just be yourself.

Just be you. Lead your team.

Serve the people.

Don't worry about Tomlinson.

And don't make this position something that it ain't, man.

- What do you mean?

What, like it's an idol?

- Look, you're a good sergeant.

A great one.

And I know you'll make an excellent chief of police.

All I'm sayin', with all due respect,

is maybe you need to take a step back

and check your motives.

Now I was gonna say check your heart right there,

but, nah, sounds like somethin' your pastor might say.

I don't wanna start preachin' up in here.

Look, I'm gonna go tell those guys

we're done here, all right?

- Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- So, Razor Blade, huh?

- Yup.

- It's kinda cool.

Check it out.

- Come on, come on, come on, come on.

(soft dramatic music)

That's it. That's the signal.

- I got you.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

(sirens wailing)

(Travis sighing)

- I don't think our friend in the sedan is gonna stop.

- [Cop] Maybe Hannah looks too much like his wife.

- You think we should call it?

Hannah's probably freezing.

- [Cop] Copy. I'll give the word.

- 10-4.

- Hang on, guys.

He's stopping.

- Hey.

Um.

Is there anything I can do for you?

(soft dramatic music)

- Whoa, that was fast.

He's in a hurry.

- [Sgt] I'm goin' in, too.

Might be a good one.

- What?

(sirens beeping)

Sarge.

- Good work, Mel.

Razor Blade.

You made the right decision not to run.

Made it easier on you and us.

- Hey, Kris.

I told ya he was a feisty one.

- What happened?

Why is he bleeding?

- Didn't wanna cooperate.

Had a run-in with the pavement.

Thought he was tougher than the police.

(Tomlinson laughing)

(phone ringing)

- Hey.

- Kris, uh, we.

I need you to meet me at the precinct now.

It's, uh, it's your brother.

- What?

Is he okay?

Where is he?

Yeah.

(dramatic music)

(soft dramatic music)
