Hey, you awake?

Oh, good.

You're awake.

What the hell are you doing?

You have some information I need, and I want it now.

What is this?

You can't do this.

You're a DA.

True, but I'm not doing anything.

You're just asking me some questions.

Now she, on the other hand, is not DA.

Nor is she nice.

But she will do something.

So you tell me what I need to know.

Where is... Where is who?

You crazy bitch! You can't do this! Did that refresh your memory?

I don't know.

Where is she?

You don't know who you're fucking with. Do you know who you're fucking with?

You made me do it.

You made me death.

I could do this all day.

You don't have all day.

You fucking... No, no, no.

You talk.

I talk.

They'll kill me.

They're probably gonna kill me for even getting caught.

So fuck you both.

What?

I sampled most of the girls that come and go.

Who knows?

Maybe I sampled her right before I packed her away.

So you can just both kiss.

disappointed in you, Victor.

I tried to help.

I really did.

And I'm gonna let you two talk.

Hey, you can't leave me here with her.

Hey, come back.

I'll talk.

I'll talk!

Oh, I know.

Don't do that. I'll tell you where they are.

I'll tell you! Shut the fuck up.

You know What

the

one

What's your name?

Anna.

Speak.

Anna.

She's my little sister.

Load up.

So, Mr. White, what you're telling me is the people in these photos with you are

no longer associated with your business dealings.

I'm a club owner, Mr. Cherry.

In fact, I own... Mr. White owns 17 clubs in three states.

17 clubs.

That's a lot.

Brings in a lot of money and people from all walks of life.

These folks just happen to like my clubs.

I have the best chefs.

Serve the best drinks and the best service.

At this particular club, we serve a wagyu steak that will knock your socks

Maybe a few other pieces of clothing.

Mr. White, may I call you Marcus?

No.

Okay, Marcus.

We're really close to building a case against you and your good fellas here.

And what we'd like is just some piece of information.

They can separate you from them.

Because right now, on paper, you all look the same.

Mr. White.

You can call me Marcus.

Mr. White, if you would just cooperate with us, we can get you protection if

need it.

Protection from them?

I wouldn't need it, but thank you.

You are beautiful.

I would drop everyone for you.

You know, how about you come to my club?

Try the steak. It'll be on me. I know you wouldn't be able to afford it

for this stiff.

That's very sweet of you, Mr. White, but I'm a vegetarian.

You obviously have nothing, or we wouldn't be meeting here in a conference

My client doesn't have any information to offer you.

He's simply a club owner.

His criminal dealings are something of the very long past.

He can't help it if these people happen to like his establishments.

So, if you don't mind, my client is done here.

We'll show ourselves out.

See you soon, Marcus.

You can count on it.

If you're going to pay me a visit, send her.

You lack respect.

I know.

I'm surprised we've been able to fit in that room with this big -ass ego.

Yeah, one thing's for sure, he likes you.

No, that was all a show.

What if we pulled in one of the other guys to try to flip on Marcus?

It'd have the same effect, I'm afraid.

You know, I just thought he would want to rat on one of his own guys to get him

out of the way. I thought too.

Well, let's go get my weekly ass -chewing from the mayor.

Go do that.

thing you do, and we'll hit it hard Monday.

All right. Well, good luck with your thing.

What happened there?

I dropped my hand.

What are you going to do to fix that?

Keep them up.

That's a good idea.

that work out for you.

Painfully. Well, sometimes if the brain forgets, the pain will remind you.

You seem pretty distracted today.

Yeah, a lot going on at work.

My boss is trying to put away all these bad guys and seem to be making more

enemies.

I don't know, it's complicated.

It's only complicated when you're not doing the right things for the right

reasons.

It's only complicated when your motives are unclear.

No, his motives are clear.

Then it shouldn't be complicated.

His bosses are most likely conflicted.

Yeah, that's one way to describe him.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

The mayor's office responded to the upswinging crime is due to the financial

upheaval in the federal government.

Others think it's due to organized crime seeing no real consequences for their

actions. Arrests in organized crime have dropped 7 % over the last year, another

5 % the year before that.

When asked about the rise of drugs, illegal gambling, human trafficking and

prostitution, the mayor's office had no other response than, it's daunting and

complicated. Meanwhile, the public is asking for more from their elected

officials, while public opinion is at an all -time low.

I'm Esperanza Garcia for Noteworthy.

Hey, bud.

Did you keep an eye on the place for me?

Good boy.

Good boy.

Yes.

Where have you been all my life?

Wine.

Wine?

Okay, and so then he was like, well, if you're going to pay me a visit, send

her.

What did you say?

What am I supposed to say?

Oh, yeah, yeah. You're a hot crime boss, and I'm a DA, but, you know, we can

date until I have to put you in jail.

Is he hot?

Yes.

But that's not the point.

What's going on with you? Well, I've decided to accept the internship at Old

Levine Mather.

That's awesome.

In Paris.

That's great.

What do your parents think?

They don't think anything.

You didn't tell your parents? I just decided.

And I already know what they think.

They don't want me to leave.

They want me to work in the store and marry men.

Wither on the vine.

Auntie and Uncle did not spend all that money for you to go to that expensive

-ass college so you can work at the store.

Okay? We all know that you're smarter than us.

Maybe.

Maybe?

Come on.

The fact of the matter is, some of these young women, not all, are okay with

being shipped off to all parts of the world and sold into slavery.

It beats the lives they were living wherever they're from. It's sad, but I

believe it to be true.

Therefore, I don't have much sympathy for them. And what about the ones who

no choice?

We have women being trafficked in and out of this city. Do you have any

for them?

Or is this in line with Republican rhetoric about immigration?

There's a sob story everywhere these days.

If you live in a place where people are being enslaved, then you have to move to

a safer place legally.

I'm a bottom -feeding bitch.

Human trafficking is nearly one of them.

That's all. Thank you.

Let's go, Skip.

We're out of here. Come on. Come on.

We're obviously not getting any help from on high.

Not even the mayor's office is going to talk to me about this.

I used to understand this town.

There's no honor anymore.

Lines are blurred, and we let it get that way.

You're like crazy, insane people like this. What do you expect?

First shit to roll downhill?

I can't wait anymore.

Can't wait for the mayor to get on board or anybody else.

Okay. So what do we do?

Start with them.

A dramatic raid on certain massage parlors and associated criminals was

early this morning. The results?

Freeing dozens of women from multiple countries likely brought over for human

trafficking. One man, Victor Lee, the apparent ringleader, was a big catch for

the DA's office.

Though he's probably not the only person on District Attorney Eric Cherry's hit

list, this is a sizable arrest.

Hopefully the first of many.

More like slumlord.

You mind explaining that?

That was a building inspection.

Had to make sure the fire extinguishers were filled.

I'm a businessman, you see.

Just here living the American dream.

Really?

Hmm.

Sandalwood?

Why are you guys asking me all these questions before my lawyer could do?

How would you tell these girls?

Will you strip them off?

Are you going to find love?

Live the American dream?

We're asking you, Victor, because we know you're not smart enough to do this

yourself. So, work with us.

Hypothetically, if you could offer us people who are bringing these women into

the country and taking them out.

We could cut you a deal.

I don't know.

And even if I did know, do you know what would happen to me?

Since we're talking in hypothetics, I'd be dead long before I hit the cell

block, along with anyone else that I've talked to.

There are eyes and ears all over.

All over.

So no, I don't know.

You don't know.

We could offer you protection.

Protection? You?

You think this is a fucking joke?

No. I think you're a fucking joke. I think she's fucking hot.

I also know I don't know how anyone comes or goes.

I'm just a landlord, remember?

Stop me if you heard this one.

I'm going to tell everyone in prison that you raped, murdered, sold children.

I jog a few memories.

You know, you should really think about becoming a masseuse.

You look like you're real good with your hands.

I am.

Don't make me show you.

I'd like my phone call now.

Okay.

But I just put it on the charger, so it's going to be a minute.

We've got to let them 12 hours before he's released.

We need to find something substantial fast.

All right.

We'll talk to the girls.

Okay. I'm on it.

Almost ready.

Skip, now. Come on.

Come on,

Skip.

District Attorney Cherry, are you holding Victor Lee in connection with

trafficking and prostitution?

You know, I can't tell you why we've been questioning Mr. Lee, but what I can

tell you is we're declaring war on organized crime effective in this city.

The city is too great to be tarnished by the likes of a few people of low

character, and we can't stand by and watch human beings being bought and sold

like cattle.

Not going to happen.

Who's next on your list?

I can't tell you that, but what I can say is we're looking after the welfare

the women who were rescued by the efforts of our local DA office and local

enforcement. So, thanks.

Nothing else to add, Esperanza.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Me too.

Off the record.

Yeah, of course.

I just thought I've seen a lot of good men and women turn bad to worse because

of these guys.

This is dangerous water you're wading in, Eric.

Be careful.

I will.

What is it?

They threatened my partner once.

Told her to tell me that if I didn't quit digging, the things that mattered

to my life would come up missing.

Okay.

What happened?

She left.

Couldn't handle the pressure.

Moved back to Toronto.

They were right.

The thing that mattered the most to me is gone.

So why keep digging?

Dogs, DAs, and reporters.

It's what we do.

Hey, keep up the good work. You too.

Who brought you here?

I don't know.

I was put in a box and then I woke up here in America.

Okay, well then how did you get here?

I couldn't see anything.

I was drugged, put on a boat, and then I woke up in a dark room.

All right.

Well, do you recognize any of these men?

No.

The only people I know are the people at the massage parlor.

When the drugs were off, they make you watch video and learned how to do

massage, and then they put me to work.

Can I go now?

They will kill my family back home if I am here too long. How do you know

they'll kill your family?

Didn't someone tell you that?

Every girl knows what happens when you do not pay your debt.

You make him. You live in a bubble.

You have no clue what goes on in the real world.

Well, then why not?

Every girl starts out the same.

Back home, there is a victor.

Man, woman.

Mine was a woman I knew for many years.

I'm a girl.

Things in my village are hard.

And when they get harder, people make bad decisions.

My papa, he gambled.

He lost.

And Anyushka told my father that he can send

me and my sister to America to pay off his debt.

So here I am, paying off debt.

Where's your sister now?

I do not know.

They took her.

Shion... I haven't seen her in a couple of weeks.

She... She tried to escape.

Shion...

My parents, they do not know you. Can I please go?

I'm all that they have left.

She was so young.

She was so pretty.

You guys have no idea what is going on here.

I have to leave. We can protect you.

Protect?

Really?

You cannot protect me.

You can't even protect yourself.

He's getting off to a nice hair.

I mean, Mr. Lee's right.

On paper, he's just a landlord.

Even better, he owns his own property management company. I mean, he's nowhere

near the facility.

Yeah, he doesn't shit where he eats.

Nope.

He pays his taxes on time.

I mean, how are we going to connect him to the bosses?

No one's that insulated. There's got to be payments to somebody, to City Hall,

to East.

No.

Wait.

Oh.

There's a campaign contribution to Alice Keegan.

Hmm.

Funny.

Victor doesn't seem to be the Republican base type.

No.

But he would like to work with prostitutes.

And see if a different type of work can grow.

That's it.

We searched through the contributions. I bet we're going to find other bosses

that are contributing to the Keegan campaign fund.

Do you ever hear about who her little S &M boy toy was?

Yeah, our illustrious mayor.

So disgusting.

And once you know it, you can't unknow it.

Look, I need to lose this paperwork for about a day.

And I'd really rather not have you around when I misplace it.

Okay. So, why don't you go ahead and take off?

Alrighty.

You have plans?

Yes, I have dinner with my auntie. Oh, save some for me.

Of course.

Yeah.

Yeah, put him through.

It's the bear.

His ears were burning.

Mr. Mayor.

Good. I'm going to try to pattern you up tonight.

Eve! Thread the chair!

Eve!

Yay!

You made it!

Of course I made it. Why do you guys keep saying that?

You just never come by anymore.

You're busy. We get it.

Trying to save the world.

You two go ahead. I'll catch up later when Antonio gets here. Okay.

Mwah!

We brought you stretchy pants.

Of course I... Sawadika!

June! Come, sit.

I know you're hungry.

I made your favorite.

I love that.

You know, I thought only my appetite just went away.

June, come on. I wanted you here, too.

Both of you.

June! How is your new job working out?

Good, bud. Business is really great.

She wants a new job.

What kind of company is it, Julie?

It's an import -export company.

Do you have something to say?

Huh? Law dog?

Nothing at all.

Girls, let's be civil.

Why don't you two come out and say it?

Can we just get through one dinner without you two blowing up at each

one's blowing up at each other. I didn't say a word.

Oh, you didn't need to say one word. You just did that thing that you always do.

That passive aggressive thing.

And you are doing that thing that you always do. Import, export.

Come on, Jimmy.

Smuggling. Why don't you call me a thief to my face?

I didn't call you a thief. I called you a smuggler. And if the stupid... I know

where I will fit.

Eve, how could you do this to me? Oh, do this to you? What, do you own this

place? Eve, I can't believe you invited her. Shut up.

I can't believe you invited her. I'm family, do you know? It doesn't matter.

You are working for people that are bots.

It makes us like regular things. Shut up.

Come here.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I'm just hanging out with Judy too much.

Go home.

Get some rest.

I'm tired.

Do you want to do girls night tomorrow?

You better know it.

Okay.

This night shift stuff is getting in the way of my social life.

That's the point.

Well, back to the thought mind.

It's going to be a long night.

It's not that bad.

You want a trade job?

You were really brave tonight.

Thank you.

You too, going up against Junie tonight?

Couldn't have been ugly.

Whatever, I can take her.

Okay, right.

Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye. Bye, love ya.

Thank you.

Hey Junie, why are you so busy to call me?

Hey, hold on, I can't hear you.

Slow down.

This is Trish Coy.

There's just an attempt on my life.

And I believe that there's going to be a crime in progress after 4, 7, 5, 9.

Ms. Coy?

Yeah, have a seat.

It's okay. We're not going to be here that long.

We know that you're trying to track down your cousin.

We're doing the best we can.

It's a complicated case.

But thank you for helping us out with the investigation by giving us the

security tape.

Yeah, I know it's not protocol, but this is kind of a special case.

Special because it's your cousin and not someone else? Yeah.

I mean, no.

It's not... It's not just like a missing person. This is my cousin.

And you just got kidnapped.

Victor Lee and... I'm going to have to stop you there.

Victor Lee is under investigation for human trafficking, right?

Yes, but... You should recuse yourself.

What? This is a horrible conflict of interest.

You need to remove yourself from this case and let us handle it.

What the hell are you talking about?

This is my family.

My aunt just got murdered.

My cousin is missing.

You can't just remove me from the case and let you handle it.

We need to take care of this right now.

Now, we understand your predicament.

I mean, it couldn't be easy having a family member.

go missing that young with a bright future in front of her.

We wouldn't want anything else to happen to the family.

I mean, things like these, they can get blown out of proportion with the media.

We encourage people to be careful with these type of situations.

Unfortunately, you can't trust anybody these days.

Talking too much to the wrong person, getting way involved, that could have

consequences and repercussions.

It's hard to be out there with no one to lean on, no friends, no help.

Now you know.

Things cool down a bit.

Your cousin could just pop up on your doorstep one day.

Things get out of hand, though.

It could get ugly around here.

I'm afraid it can't get much uglier.

Anything else we can do for you? No.

You're doing quite enough.

Sorry for your loss.

They killed auntie.

They killed me.

I didn't know where to go.

Where are you?

I'm at auntie's house.

I didn't know where to go.

God damn it.

Jackie, we don't have time.

24, 48 hours.

If we don't find her... The

police aren't gonna help.

Those detectives at the store, they're in on it. I know it.

Who are you calling?

Do you really want to know?

Probably not. Definitely not.

Senator Keegan!

Senator King, it's Trish Coy. I know who you are, Ms. Coy, and I'm sorry for

your loss, but as my assistant told you the 13 times you called last night, I'm

incredibly busy.

I understand, but I'm incredibly busy trying to stop human trafficking in your

district.

There's a human trafficking circle right here, and I can't get one detective to

take an active case. Why is that?

You should probably talk to the chief of police.

I don't handle cases.

I know, but you do control the legislature.

And where the money flows.

And there's no money flowing towards anti -trafficking.

Matter of fact, I think somebody's actually benefiting from not stopping

trafficking.

Everybody's looking the other way.

Which leads me to believe that someone's getting their pockets lined.

You have any idea who that is?

Are you accusing me of something, Ms. Coy?

I should warn you. No, I should warn you.

I'm real good at connecting the dots.

And if I connect you or your little boy toy up there to anything...

remotely close to this human trafficking circle or victorly, I swear I will come

at you with everything that I have.

Because whoever did this, whoever killed my aunt, whoever kidnapped my cousin,

just made this person lose.

You cannot speak to me this way. No. We're done here.

You have a productive day.

Does anyone understand me?

Be quiet, they'll hear you.

Who are these people?

What's going on? Shut up in there!

What's going on? What's happening to us?

Why aren't you answering me?

I said shut up!

Because you smell like a pig.

Stay here and let me handle this.

Hey, it's me.

You just got off the phone. I know you're home.

This won't take down this name.

You better tell me when you want to know.

Get off of him!

Get off of him!

You get off me! Never let...

Joanie!

What the hell was that in there? You asked me to help.

This is how I help.

You don't like it? No, I don't. Top shit!

This is what getting it done looks like.

Let's go.

I'm a district attorney. I can't be seeing this shit.

So shut your eyes. Or shut your mouth. Guess which I prefer.

Oh. And don't call me June.

We're not 12 anymore.

You know who I am?

Do you know who she is?

We need your help.

Who brings in the girls?

You don't have to tell us their names.

Just tell us their nationality.

Look, I know you understand her.

Where are the girls?

Por favor, ayúdanos.

Tell us where they are, you old bags!

Or I will bring you in on obstruction charges.

Maybe some health code violations too.

Thank you.

Thank you. You're welcome.

How do you not understand the meaning of shut the hell up?

When did you tell me to shut up?

When I looked at you like this.

How am I supposed to know that means shut up?

I thought we were doing, like, the good cop, bad cop thing.

Seriously? I was trying to get information from Ms.

Grejo. Sorry.

Don't do me such a great job.

Judy, where are we going?

Here we are.

It's the Bonaventura place.

You know that? Yeah.

Dad will wait for life.

Well, we'll be in.

Did it, Junie.

Stay here.

Please.

You always knew how to make an entrance.

Buona sera, Alicia.

Hi, Junie.

What are you doing hanging out with this government trash?

We're cousins.

I forget to call you Junie.

Ah, yes, I remember.

How unfortunate.

Although I should be thanking you, uh... Sister to Trini Koi.

That's right.

The cousin.

Trini spoke a lot. Well, she mentioned you a few times.

I should be thanking you for putting my father away.

My father is great in his day.

But times have changed.

This is obviously not a social visit.

Someone took a family member of ours. Our little cousin.

We think they might be trying to take her out of the country. Do you know

anything about this?

Not my thing, ladies.

I run a respectable and legal dating service.

Maybe you should think about coming to work for me.

What are you making at the DA's office, hmm?

You do really well.

There's a market for your type of thing. What type of thing is that?

You know, the little girl thing.

You're being strange to yourself.

A woman.

Selling other women.

For the record, I don't sell anything.

Anything that doesn't want to be sold.

I just provide a means for men and women like mine to meet.

If we were to find someone who knows something, what part of town should we

looking in?

China?

Armenia?

As a favor to you,

And because it's a family thing, I think darker.

That values you.

I owe you.

No, I believe that makes us even.

Good luck.

To me.

You can come back any time you want.

Let me know if you change your mind.

You could bring your cousin, too.

What the hell was that? Be my cousin.

Junie, I miss you.

Complicated.

Why don't you be my... My head.

So when you were dating Al, it wasn't short for Al, and it was short for

Why didn't you say anything? It was no one's business.

It was brief, and it was... Yeah, I know.

Complicated.

This is crazy.

What am I doing?

I am not supposed to be doing this stuff. I am not cut out for this, Junie.

crossed the line back there. Oh, my God. I'm sure he had it coming. I'm sure

they all have it coming.

How would you know that they have it coming? You know about this whole human

trafficking thing, didn't you?

She's talking to you?

She's talking to you about Marcus White?

Don't you ever accuse me of knowing about human trafficking again, okay?

Another point, it's not fricking Marcus White because he lied.

She lies, okay?

She's good at doing it, but I know she's throwing him under the bus.

I know.

All this shit is making me sick!

Get back in the car! What the hell is wrong with you?

Get it together!

Get it together because it's not like you didn't know that real shit like this

happened in the world.

Oh, oh, I know, I know. You're just mad that it was happening right underneath

your nose. You don't get to tell me! Don't you?

You don't get to tell me how I feel.

All my life, I thought you were the cool cousin.

Right. Yes, I did. I did. I looked up to you.

Then you started doing drugs.

Then getting arrested.

God knows what else.

No, it was never your fault.

It never is your fault.

You're always blaming on the world.

You had every opportunity that I did. Oh, did I? Yes, you did, and you chose

be this.

You chose to be this.

You know, we come from the same blood. You can't blame it on that.

I don't understand.

I really don't.

No. No, you don't understand. You don't understand now, and you never will

understand. You always...

Had the silver spoon of your ass attitude your entire life.

You could do no wrong.

This was perfect.

Shit, you didn't even see anything wrong.

You, you, you, the huge steaming pot of shit that was handed to me.

Then you would not be giving me this bullshit.

I'm done. No.

I'm done. No, you're not done. I'm done.

You always do this. You stop talking.

No. Stop.

Make me understand.

I have not seen anything happen to you in your life or in our life for that

matter that would make you this cold.

You don't even look at me.

Why?

Because I said I would never tell you and I'm not going to either.

What is it? You couldn't handle it. What is it?

You can handle your perfect little world.

So... What is going on in your head?

What is it?

I'm your family.

I was molested, okay?

Does that help? No.

Does that help explain why I'm so screwed up?

Who was it?

It was one of Mommy's friend's husbands from

Sunday school.

One of those white guys married to the Asians.

It was a fixation issue, I guess. Didn't matter what age.

He got me pregnant.

He came inside me.

So I was going to have the abortion.

God terminated that pregnancy for me.

So to me, I dodged one out of two bullets.

And after that, all I had to do was get the fuck out of here. So I did.

I left.

So he was a man of God.

And I was with the devil.

Yep.

And then, you know, we always argue and fight.

Which is the reason why she got a stroke.

I'm the reason she got a stroke. I'm the reason.

I'm the reason for it all.

And of course Daddy couldn't do anything because Matt had his balls in a vice.

So I just had to get the hell out of there, okay?

I'm sorry.

There is nothing to be sorry about.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too. What can I do?

You're doing me.

Thank you for always loving me and always trying to find out if I was okay.

I know what you can't do.

You can get back in the goddamn car.

Because we gotta go.

When all this is over, you're getting help.

I don't need psychobabble bullshit.

I just got it.

I'm good.

I just need to kick the fucking ass.

Go kick the fucking ass!

I am a businessman.

I pay taxes.

I help community.

You come in here with your boss,

With accusations and lies?

Yes.

You should go.

Mr. Antonoff, we just want our cousin back.

Our family.

We promise we're not trying to work into any business we shouldn't be looking

into.

Will you please help us?

Like you said.

We're not going to go putting our nose into anything we shouldn't.

Not yet, anyway.

I cannot help you with what I do not know.

Maybe I can help you.

You know this studio is going to turn messy real quick.

I know you and I have had differences.

But... What do you like?

Let me guess.

Green tea.

Do you know why Russian tea is best?

Why? It is strong. Strong tea for strong people.

Russian people is very strong.

They weather many storms.

Storm come, storm go.

Russian people, they stay strong.

Da. Da.

So.

You bring storm.

Anna!

Maybe you'd take some tea with you, huh?

For strength.

You know, I prefer Thai tea.

Because it's sweet.

But it packs a punch.

You go now.

Leo.

Now.

Thank you, Mr. Anton.

I'm gay.

Bring him in.

We know one thing.

We were talking to the right man.

Hey, go get the car and meet me in the alley. Why?

Because we're going to get him help. Go.

This is going to be quick, okay?

I'm going to ask you the same question twice because everybody knows the first

time you're going to lie to me.

Oh, you will. We all know.

Then the second time, you will tell me truth.

Da.

Da. Okay, Sergey.

Look at me.

Where is your brother?

And where is the money he stole from?

I don't know. See? I haven't seen him in a day. There you go. That's your first

one. Sergey!

I'm asking you.

Where is your fucking brother?

And where is the money that he stole from me?

Don't know.

I'll find him. You will find him. You will find him, Sergei. You know why? You

are going to give him a message from me.

Come on, girl. Give me something I need.

The junkyard.

Find Victor Lee.

You know where.

I have to go.

Thank you.

I cannot.

They'll kill my baby sister if I leave.

Anna!

Take my card.

If you need anything, call us.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Strong boy, huh? What handed are you? Right handed or left handed?

Left handed.

Here we go.

Go ahead.

No! No!

No!

No!

I knew Victor Lee was in with Kirill. Yeah, that son of a bitch played us.

Last time I checked, though, Victor Lee wasn't Russian.

No, no, he's not.

But the pimp game isn't about race. It's about supply and demand. And the

Russians supply more girls than anybody.

You gotta stop thinking about their low -level pimps. They're businessmen.

God, Will is smart.

I bet you he lets everybody manage their own pie. The Bonaduras, Trejos, Lees.

Doesn't matter who.

But they're allowed to under his blessing.

A mutually beneficial relationship.

Yeah.

I know someone who knows where the girls are.

Who? The car behind us.

Hold on.

Barbara Jolena.

Stop at my house.

I need to pick something up.

Yes, Miss Davis.

I want your bag.

You know, from that, um... Yeah, I know. Just drive.

Stop.

On you, usually.

Go pick Lee up and bring him to me.

Double.

me pod be ryan lee

My family is counting on me.

I did not do this.

You did this.

I didn't say anything about you.

I promise. I will take care of your family, Anna.

Not that D .A. bitch snooping around, stirring shit up. We don't need that.

Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down. It's my ass in the grinder if she gets too close.

We really fucked this up.

And what the hell is going on with the Russian? He's the one that is supposed

make this stuff just go away.

He's slipping.

I'll handle it. No, you better.

Or what?

You'll have me arrested?

Don't threaten me.

The only reason you're in the position that you're in is because of me.

You'd still be sitting on the town council if we didn't elevate you.

We could easily take you off your high list.

So do your damn job and clear us a path for what we need to do.

I'll talk with the Russian.

And I'll let him talk with me.

What about the theory?

Let her spin her wheel.

Shipman goes out, give up London.

Kill him, she's just gonna make waves.

And Keegan.

Don't you ever threaten Keegan.

You will see my father's daughter if you do.

Having trouble with your staff?

No. No problem. Why, you?

Our friend from on high is getting nervous.

She thinks you're losing your touch.

Is she right?

What do you think?

Do you think I'm losing my touch?

Duh.

You're missing the bigger picture here.

We're about to open up in four new countries for you to work your magic in.

Countries formerly owned by my father and...

We need to thin the herd.

Lee is sloppy, arrogant.

I need a message sent after the next shipment.

My men are picking up Lee now.

Good.

I'll relay that to our friend.

Good.

Good to see you, Karu.

Maybe stay without dinner.

Maybe next time.

Good you're not dead.

I don't feel like it.

You have a strong will.

It runs in my family.

This is no place for strong wills.

Only for survival.

Why are they doing this?

We are cattle.

We are bought, we are sold. We are meat now.

I can't believe that.

There has to be a way out of here.

No.

You don't know these men.

They've beaten you. They tried to break you.

The next step is killing you.

Or us.

Please stop.

We appreciate you giving us food and water.

But I fear you're pushing them too far.

You see her?

We own the same shit together.

Your sister's not as you do.

The man cut her throat.

and made her throw the body overboard.

These men have no humanity.

My cousin will come looking for me.

He'll find us, I promise.

You're a naive little girl.

Don't give up hope.

My name's Eve.

What's yours?

My name doesn't matter.

I'm no one to me.

None of us are.

What the fuck?

Fucking go.

Ah! Holy fucking God!

Go.

I don't know what you think this is, but these are real players here.

And the girls are just playing cards to them.

Some get collected.

Some get used and thrown away. Some get traded, and it doesn't matter who they

get traded to.

Russians, they'll trade to the Asians, to the Middle Easterners.

It's a game to them.

An international pimp game, and everyone plays to win.

That's... The world we're talking about.

So if you want to find Eve, we've got to stop fucking around and start throwing

roundhouses.

Some of these guys, especially the Russians, they don't give a shit that

a DA or whatever.

This is far bigger than you and your office.

They own you and your office and the cops.

want to find Eve, we don't go to the cop.

Okay? If we do, she's going for good.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I can guarantee you no one gives a shit about a little Asian girl except for us.

Cop court.

Okay?

It's time.

So what's it gonna be?

Hmm?

Your way?

Or the blood way?

Does it come in black?

You forget something, Trish?

No, sir.

Just... I need some advice.

How can I help?

There's some really bad stuff about to happen tonight.

I know I'm going to have to make some hard decisions.

Probably going to have to do something that I shouldn't.

Do you have a good reason?

Yeah. Very good.

I'm just worried that it's going to complicate things for me.

Then I'll ask you again. Is there anything you're forgetting?

No.

If I have the right motive, then it's not complicated.

See? It's not so hard after all.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Oh, and Trish, keep your hands up.

Yes, sir.

Somebody grabbed Lee and threw him in a van and drove away.

Why?

My apologies, boss.

Leo, we need to move the girls.

Now.

Leo.

You're my friend.

You show me again.

Do not let me die again, okay?

Die. Die. No.

Die. Die.

Hey, you awake?

Did he talk?

He talked.

Dude, how is he?

He'll live.

His ass, though.

Right, and well done.

Well done.

Well, we'll worry about them later. Where are we going?

Transportation.

We're coming.

Truck yard. Go.

Can I help you? Yeah, I know.

Hey, Bob.

company. I think we're done here.

Thank you.

Can't say I was surprised to hear from you.

Felt like we had a real connection.

Who's your friend?

I'm her cousin.

Well, that makes sense.

She's beautiful, too.

Just runs in the family, huh?

Want a few ladies a drink?

No, thank you.

I'm sorry to hear about your boss.

I didn't like him, but you know, I didn't have anything to do with that.

Well, we have a pretty good idea. It's all done, so...

They'll get there.

Well, when the time is right, I'll see what I can do to help out with that.

As a favor to you.

Actually, I do need a favor, and it's most likely related.

Now, that's unexpected.

And we barely know each other, and you're already asking for favors.

Bold. My cousin just got kidnapped.

Kirill and Victor Lee's crew, they're going to ship her off.

If we don't stop them, I will never see my cousin again.

Now, I don't get into that human trafficking shit.

Bad mojo.

And bad for business.

But you need my help.

How exactly?

You need a few good men.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold up.

The ADA is recruiting for a street war?

Now that's unexpected.

Girl, you got more going on than I thought.

Thinking outside the lockbox, you know, I like that.

Now...

We've recently come to an understanding.

That's not the kind of business I'm into.

I own commercial real estate.

They don't fuck with me. I don't fuck with them.

It's simple.

Mr. White.

Please. More.

Marcus.

All my connections have been compromised.

I am thinking outside the box.

And you're definitely outside the box.

Thank you.

Now, how's it going to look if you're investigating me for organized crime?

Not too good. I can take care of that. That's no big deal.

It should be known Marcus White is no rat.

Look, we can spin it any way you need to.

I just need your help.

We just need your help.

Okay, but on three conditions.

One... I'd take over his properties and add them to my portfolio.

I can't guarantee that, but I can talk to some people and make sure they don't

get in your way at the auctions.

Two, have your boys stop watching my establishment.

And it's bad for business and not to mention it's just rude.

I'll have them stop watching this establishment.

That's all I can do for now.

Fair enough.

And the third?

When all this is done, you join me for that stay.

No problem.

A mix of leaves, men, and antelopes.

Bob, Denny, and Leah are over there.

But they disappeared.

This is definitely a new play.

Connor, what about the girls? Do we know what you can see in the dark?

No, ma 'am.

They don't seem to be guarding anyone in particular either.

Shit. I don't think it means any one of them.

We all start shooting when we see them. Are you checking again?

No, thank you, James.

We'll find a vantage point and cover our backs.

When the heat comes our way, you lay them down.

Yes, sir.

What's going on?

That is Lee's second -in -command.

He wouldn't be here unless the shit was about to go down.

They know we're coming.

Probably don't even know we're here.

We do think fucking around.

Neither are we.

So what's the plan, boss?

Okay, so we're going to split up, try to find the girl, take out as many bad

guys as we can, live.

We can.

You know, it's funny.

People usually say we're the bad guys.

Not today.

I guess we're all crossing lines today, aren't we?

Eh, I figure it's good for business.

I help you, you help me.

It's a chaotic relationship.

Go, go, go, go!

You'll be okay. It went all the way through.

Look out!

First date, huh?

Put that shit down.

You know that's unfair.

He's wounded.

Put it down.

Philly bitch.

You like to play hero?

Where are the women?

Now I know you all understand me.

So don't have me keep asking.

I get very angry when I have to repeat myself.

Where are the women?

What the fuck did you say?

Get that one! Get that one! Get that one!

Where are the women?

Is this the one?

Huh? I know you understand. Come on.

Now you will be whore.

Judy!

Judy! You make a lot of money.

I like to play rough, huh?

How about this one, huh?

Is this it?

Last chance, man.

Where are they?

We got a winner.

Do they know?

You think this is over?

There's so many more.

More of them.

More of us.

Earlier today, the DA's office pressed charges against Victor Lee and his

associates on human trafficking violations and other crimes.

Thanks to a few concerned citizens, we were able to stop a shipment of women

headed for the Middle East, where they would have been sold off as slaves.

We were lucky this time.

Human trafficking is a huge global business that needs to be stopped.

I, for one, will be shifting my focus primarily on this crime.

My former boss lost his life trying to stop Victor Lee, and he will not be soon

forgotten. Let this be an example to the city and to the people that if you see

something, say something.

And if you think you can get away with trafficking people, humans, in my city,

I'm coming for you.

I'm bringing the fight to you.

Test me.

Starting now.

Your business is done here. You will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

Senator Keegan, the mayor, police officers, and organized crime bosses

all bunking in the Graybar Motel tonight.

Just like Elliot Ness, more raids and bold words from young District Attorney

Trish Coy have rocked this city and its criminal element.

She has drawn a line.

is leaving no stone unturned and seems to know no bounds when it comes to

stamping out human trafficking in this state.

This is the first time anyone in this city has taken such a strong stance on

most heinous crime of human trafficking.

There are sure to be more arrests to come.

We'll keep a sharp eye on Ms. Coy and her team of untouchables.

Powerful speech.

I'm going to tell you what.

It's going to make them wave.

Good.

So what now?

Now?

It's good work.

Shouldn't you deputize us or something? No.

I need you and Marcus in the shadows.

That's how I can get all these bad apples who need me from out of the box.

I'll try my best. Keep you guys untouchable.

You guys need to try to stay clean?

Hey, that's what we do.

I'll let you know when we find out.

Looks like Krill's just one -headed at the dragon.

He'll resurface.

We'll find the others for you. When we do, we'll serve him a pie.

Speaking of which, still ready for that steak?

Depends on what kind of wine you're bringing.

Whatever you want.

Do you want to bring your cousin?

Too far.

Mm -hmm.

Pushing it. Hey, a brother had to ask.

Line crossed.

Really? Yeah, he did.

Come on. It was a joke. You know, we gotta cross that line.

It's just jokes.

Mm -hmm.

Just jokes. Cross the line. Yeah, I know.

Thank you.

Both of you.

You do not have to thank us.

Family.

Right. Now you go out there.

Make us proud.

Love you.

Love you too. Love you.

You know what?

You guys are right.

I got this.

That's my cousin!

I have to thank you.

We did what we had to do.

You and I have never seen eye to eye.

Well, we're on different sides of the wall.

Yeah, but it doesn't have to be that way.

I think we've both done stuff that we probably shouldn't.

It's not funny.

You're such a girl scout.

Things we wouldn't do. You want to sell me a cookie too?

You're a better person than you think.

Don't let smooth days fool you. We're out into the court.

You know, which is what you need. You don't want me on your team, you want me

the outside, because it's about to get deep.

And I need you to stay clean.

Plausible deniability and all that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe so.

But thank you, Jimmy.

If you call me Jimmy one more time, I'm gonna... You're gonna what?

Kick my ass?

In what galaxy could you ever kick my ass?

I've been training.

Stop talking.

I'm serious.

Please don't call me Junie. Okay.

You hungry?

Junie.

Thank you.
