Original subtitles

Our new player is the Camorra.

Rival gang looking to take advantage

of the Los Santos power vacuum.

- Drop the gun! - I can't!

I've seen these before.

It's the way the Camorra gets their message out

to their foot soldiers.

Fernando, don't!

I've got a CI from back in my Italian days,

It's Isabella Spezzano.

I gave you your freedom.

A horse farm or no deal.

I wanna see if she can decode this prayer card for us.

How are the grandkids?

Pietro is still obsessed with soccer.

Roman is doing these things called startups.

She was telling me about her grandson opening a brewery.

That brewery is ground zero for this investigation.

Get down!

This looks like a pickles and ice cream run.

No, no, blue cheese muffin

and cream puffs from Bibble and Sip.

What she really wants is that seafood tower from Balthazar.

Who doesn't?

Balthazar.

Get down!

There was no time. Everything happened so fast.

And right in front of your home

with your son and pregnant daughter-in-law.

That must have been harrowing for all of you.

They're not married.

Sorry?

My son and his girlfriend, they're not married.

You seem interested in details, so...

And that's the detail you find the most relevant?

That the baby is safe is what's relevant and important.

And the rest of this is, you know...

The department wants to know how my marbles are stacked up,

you know? I... I know how this works.

You were in a very serious automobile crash.

A child died...

I'm not gonna talk about that.

And since this incident,

you've had to deal with quite a few stressful situations.

Now, everyone's recovery is different,

but the science is very clear.

Stress does not aid in the healing process.

These check-ins are meant to track your progress.

And I'm all for it, you know? So let's cut to the chase.

Tell me what you think so that I can work on myself,

and then we can all just move on down the road together.

- What I see and find concerning... - Mm-hmm.

Is that you seem completely disconnected.

It's as if the events of the other night,

the drive-by shooting, happened to someone else.

Well, you know, if you don't have a mechanism

to cope with the bad things that come your way in this job

or in this life, I mean, you're just not gonna make it.

You're not gonna last six months.

Detective Stabler,

to be sure of oneself is a powerful attribute.

It can be a dangerous one too.

Mm-hmm, well...

It's called compartmentalization.

You're taking me off active duty?

You're not in obvious distress.

But whether you're ready to get back out there

is another story.

Conditional release?

What the hell is that?

Well, it means she's extending our sessions.

She wants to see me once a week for the next three months.

Your silence speaks volumes.

Yeah, well, I mean, you need it.

You have a lot on your plate.

More than you care to deal with.

Maybe I can fit in an extra session with you

since you know so much.

You should. I'm perfectly well-adjusted.

Right, right.

Well, I'm at the church now, so I'll talk to you later.

Thank you.

Detective.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I want to pay my respects.

Did you know Fernando?

No. Did you?

What are you doing? You shouldn't be here.

Pietro! Rispetto.

Hey, this isn't the time or place, all right?

Why don't you take Grandma, go take a seat?

I apologize for my brother.

He's just overwrought with grief.

Mm. Hey.

How are you doing, Roman? We haven't spoken.

Yeah, I know.

Take care, all right?

It's about to start.

- Synced and corrected by actumaxime - - www.addic7ed.com -

That's definitely a Yamaha. My brother has one.

What, Master or Zinger?

Zinger. How do you...

Well, I was on the motocross circuit for a while.

They definitely have a thing for dirt bikes.

I mean, these models are about 9 grand a pop.

Yeah, well, thankfully, they're skilled at that

- and not an Uzi. - Amen to that.

I've been hearing an awful lot of amens today.

My grandmama used to say, you can't hear enough.

Yeah, smart lady. How'd it go downtown?

Uh, 1PP is on edge.

You know, they're hearing the same thing we are,

chatter in the streets. Wants to know if we have answers.

And do we?

CCTV gave us the make and model

- of the motocross dirt bike. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and I interviewed a dozen local shops.

We won't find a receipt with our shooter's name on it.

- Bikes are either stolen or... - Cash resells.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm.

Vargas, you want to shake the family tree?

Do you think my CI is involved?

Do you?

I can't get a read on her yet,

but I am definitely open to that possibility.

Thanks for calling.

But, uh, Roman Spezzano, I kind of like him

as a possible center of everything.

- Based on what? - His brother Pietro.

The kid has changed, like he's drunk the Kool-Aid.

He has or wants to join his local Piranhas.

Mm. Older brother influencing the younger.

Wouldn't be the first time.

OK, what about the church, Our Lady of the Cross?

Well, two of their piranhas are altar boys there.

Where are we with ID'ing the third?

We need to talk to him.

That was the perp I busted last week.

- The one inside Los Santos? - One and the same.

Looks like with Carlo Pescador out of the way,

they're in disarray.

So who's running the show?

Some new heavy out of the DR.

Saw a spot opening and took it and took over.

So if Los Santos is looking for new blood.

Would I like to apply for the job?

Hell yeah.

Vargas, give me an ID on altar boy number three

and set our newborn gangster up

with some Los Santos street cred.

- On it. - Street cred.

Didn't expect to see you here.

You OK, kid?

- No, I'm not OK. - Hmm.

Good.

Hey.

I appreciate you helping out, bro,

but shouldn't you be at school?

What is this? School is important.

Yeah, well, it don't feel like it.

Hey.

The hell are you talking about?

You want to be like Sal here?

You go to school, get a real job.

Oh, God, no, don't do that.

Why are you here, Pietro?

I'm here because Fernando was family.

Hey.

Fernando was a soldier.

And he was willing to do whatever it takes

to protect his own,

to protect his family.

Are you?

Yeah.

All right.

Well, come with me.

I got to give you something. I think you're ready.

We grew up together.

Fernando always said he was going to be the next Messi,

but he couldn't pass for shit.

Mm.

You didn't go to his funeral?

My mom... well, we don't go to that church anymore.

- Why not? - Do you know Father Manetti?

He used to be the priest there.

He's a family friend.

He left Our Lady last year.

Was he reassigned or recalled?

I don't know.

How about the new guy?

This, uh, Father de Luca.

I... I don't know him.

My mom didn't really like him though.

Why is that?

She said he reminded her too much of home.

Home being Italy?

She was born and raised there, right?

Yeah.

Naples, right?

Yeah.

OK, well, so, David,

uh, your friends are dead, right?

And we think you know why.

I'm not one of them, I swear.

But you were.

Fernando.

It... it was Fernando.

He brought me in. He gave me a gun.

But... but I never used it. I swear.

That still doesn't explain

why you left Our Lady of the Cross.

I told her, my mom.

I... I told her all about the gun and she lost her shit.

And she told me to drop the gun in...

in the East River.

We never went back to the church after that.

She said that she'd rather see me in Purgatory than jail.

Do I need a lawyer?

I... I think I need a lawyer.

What are you thinking?

Uh, I'm thinking I need to go to confession.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

May the Lord be in your heart.

How long has it been?

Since my wife was murdered

four years ago because of a case I was investigating.

You're a police officer?

Yeah, I am.

That a problem?

You are God's soldier.

He holds you in His favor.

Mm, I've been using God's name in vain an awful lot.

I've, uh, not been keeping my word.

In what way?

Oh...

I've promised people that I would save them,

give them a better life.

In your line of work,

those must be difficult promises to keep.

There's so much out of my control...

Other influences leading them astray.

You can only do what you can do.

God will see to the rest.

Yeah? Well...

He's been dropping the ball lately.

You've lost your faith.

The children dying on the streets of this parish.

Being turned into killers.

So explain to me how that's His plan.

The Holy Father...

has designs for all of us.

Some things we aren't meant to understand.

Well, if that really is His plan,

then I'm going to do everything I can to stop it,

so I guess we should add prideful defiance

to my list of sins, huh?

Hey, how'd it go?

Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light.

OK.

2 Corinthians 11:14.

_

_

_

_

_

Is that so?

I'm ready to put in work.

You a little burned out for the dance floor, aren't you?

I could be peewee, street soldier,

whatever you need me to be.

So you want to join the war?

Brother, the way I see it,

shit is fucked up out there and it's not getting any better

with me sitting around here holding my dick.

And you know who we're up against?

Hell yeah.

Makes me miss those cigar-smoking skin bags.

Hmm.

Well, at least the mob had respect for the business.

These Camorra clowns,

they're no better than wild dogs.

Mm.

Well, I'll be happy to neuter a few myself.

_

_

_

_

Get up.

Let's go. Oh, you hit?

Get up.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Not there, not there.

We don't need the world knowing our business.

Fix yourself up.

Gracias.

Bienvenido. And you're in luck.

We got a special guest tonight for the mass.

Looks like it went well.

Ooh, when you're spending that kind of money,

"I'll think about it" is a no.

Have you heard from Pietro?

No, not since this morning.

He's not answering his phone.

I'm worried about him, Nonna. He's... he's been different.

Yeah? In what way?

He's upset about Fernando, and I get it.

But it feels like there's more to it.

I can't explain it.

It's like "twin-tuition" or something.

Hmm.

Pietro.

Put these on.

Do it.

They want to take everything from us.

Our livelihoods, our lives,

every fucking thing we care about.

Yo, bro.

He's one of them.

_

_

_

_

Hit him.

- Otra. - No.

Dale.

Y otra.

You're up.

Dale.

Keep it there.

What's your name?

Nico.

You love your family, Nico?

What do you think they're gonna feel

when the cops tell them they found your body in the river?

In pieces?

Yo, yo.

You're going to tell this man everything he wants to know.

- OK? - OK, OK.

_

Me gusta.

_

Come here.

Come on.

You will be shot at.

You will be scared, but you will never be alone.

Understood?

Yes.

Welcome, brother.

All right.

What's going on?

- Uh, we found a place. - Ah.

It's a two-bedroom, washer and dryer in-unit.

- Hey, Dad. - Hey.

- Guess what? - You found a place?

Yeah, I found a place.

- So I hear. - Uh-huh.

How'd you find it?

Uncle Randall got it for us.

Really?

He's not paying for it, Dad.

Just a spot opened up in his building.

Great. How can I help?

No, I think we're good.

Thanks. We're good.

OK.

- OK. - Yeah.

Ah, you must be Eli.

Ooh, I would kill for a cigarette now.

When did you quit?

Oh, right after we move here.

It was Pietro who convinced me.

Mm.

And I'm sorry about what happened earlier today.

It's not a problem.

But the other night, somebody tried

to put a bullet in me right outside there on the street.

My God.

My son and his girlfriend were with me.

Do you know who it was?

Two men on a motorcycle.

One with an Uzi.

Any idea who that might have been?

Of course I know.

I told you, the cancer will always find you.

The Camorra are here.

Hmm.

I meant specifically.

I don't know what... I don't know what you're saying.

Can you tell me who was on that motorcycle?

How would I know?

What are you accusing me of?

I'm not accusing you of anything.

I'm asking you what you know.

I don't know anything.

I came here tonight because I have a feeling

that something is wrong.

I don't understand. What does that mean?

Where the Camorra is, there is death.

Yes, and I think someone knew

I was investigating the Camorra,

and they wanted it stopped.

Tell me about Roman.

Roman, there's nothing to tell.

He's a businessman.

And why... why are you asking me all these questions?

I'm just looking to have a clearer picture.

Of what?

Why don't you tell me what you know?

What I know is part of an official investigation,

but I'll tell you what I think.

OK.

I think you're worried about your grandchildren.

I think you should be.

Los Santos's new shot caller goes by Acosta, Angel Acosta.

Must be on a passport or visa out of the DR.

We'll run it down. What's his play?

They're gearing up for something.

- Strike against the Camorra? - Yep.

But they're keeping the lid on everything and everyone.

I won't know the details until it's about to go down.

We already have eyes on the auto shop,

but since you're on the inside...

Fuck no. These guys are paranoid.

They pat us down every meeting.

They catch me with that shit, I'm dead.

All right, man. Watch your back.

Anything else?

They have one of the Camorra kids, name's Nico.

I have no idea where they grabbed him.

Do we need to come in?

Not for now. It's good, but ain't gonna stay that way.

They're going to end up getting rid of him eventually.

All right, keep me updated.

I want to know everything

there is to know about this guy.

By the time I'm done, we'll know more

about Angel Acosta than he knows about himself.

What about the kid, Nico?

There's still no missing persons reports

filed under that name.

All right, keep looking.

You, with me.

So I heard that Isabella Spezzano

showed up at your apartment last night.

1PP called me.

Now they think you're in too deep.

Oh, shit.

Uh, yeah, she did,

and she introduced herself to Eli.

He must have told his FTO.

Look, I know you feel like you need

to protect this woman because of your history

together, but don't keep me in the dark.

I wasn't.

But I hear you. Uh, yeah.

I tell you what.

I think she knows more than what she's saying.

So she's lying to you?

Well, she wants to protect her grandson.

She came to me desperate.

Then why come to you?

Truth be told, I... I think it was a tactic.

- A tactic? - Yeah.

- So reconnaissance mission? - Yeah.

See where we are in the investigation,

- what we know. - Mm.

- She's smart. - Yeah.

- And ballsy. - Yes.

And dangerous.

I got my distance.

OK. Well, make sure you keep it.

And keep me in the loop.

God's messenger awaits.

All right, we'll pick up with this later.

Yeah.

While I try to be a positive influence in their lives,

I'm not aware of what my parishioners do

away from the church.

Well, the only reason I ask is because recently

there's been an uptick in gang-related violence

in your parish.

I've been watching the news. It's terrible.

- Yeah. - Just terrible.

Did you know Fernando Russo and Jason Conti?

Yes, two good boys.

Two tragic and senseless deaths.

Mm-hmm. How about David Bianchi?

The name doesn't ring a bell.

He was, uh, an altar boy.

Perhaps if you'd explain what this is about,

I'd be better able to help you, Detective.

Yeah.

These are prayer cards we hand out at Our Lady of the Cross.

Right. And here.

These markings, they mean anything to you?

I'm sorry, uh...

I don't know. I have no idea.

OK.

You've been traveling a lot. Mm.

Four trips to Rome in the last three months.

I had meetings at the Vatican.

But each time, you only spent a day in Rome,

and then the rest of the trip was spent in Naples.

I have an ailing mother.

I... I tried to see her as much as I can.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Um...

is there anything else I can help you with, Detective?

I should get back for evening mass.

No, uh, I appreciate your time, Father.

Um, I think we're good for now.

I'll show you out.

I knew him from back home.

When he was simply Antonio de Luca.

The childhood friend of my brothers.

As teenagers, they ran in the Camorra.

Until Antonio found God.

So you don't think he's here from Naples

doing God's work?

Your brother Rocco's doing a life sentence in Naples.

Mm-hmm.

If you're asking me is Antonio here to be his eyes and ears,

I don't know.

But you suspect.

I suspect everyone.

I know how you feel.

Here. Loaded it for you.

You know I can do that myself, right?

Wow, easy, gangster. Baby steps.

Besides, this is just a quick smash-and-grab.

You're not going to need it.

Yeah, and don't shoot it like that.

You'll break your wrist.

Big night for little Spezzano.

Just do what I do, and you'll be fine.

All right.

Just don't shoot me with that.

Yeah.

Big risks, big rewards.

Muchachos, let's go show them who the fuck we are.

Fuck you doing?

I had to take a piss.

What, you trying to watch?

Oh, you like that, huh?

Is everyone good to go?

Get out of the fucking van!

Yo, yo!

Grab the drugs.

- Get back! Get back! - What the fuck?

Relax. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Get out of here. Go, go.

Hey. They need help?

- Pray and spray, huh? - Mm-hmm.

Some arsenal.

Yeah, driver and the passenger

look like they were the first to go down.

- Ambush? - Maybe.

This is the perfect street for it.

Just trying to see which one got to the other first.

Sarge?

That's one of the guys outside the brewery.

Yeah, we'll get him ID'd soon enough.

What do you got?

I'll have a burger, fries, and a soda.

Raise. You want me to take it?

Yeah. I'll deal with this mess.

Eli. Eli.

Did you tell anyone about Isabel coming to our apartment?

- It came up with my FTO. - Listen to me.

What happens in our personal life

does not make it to work.

Your boy is trying to secure a crime scene, Detective.

Sarge, let me just talk to him, if you don't mind.

I do mind. So does he.

Stabler, go down to 51st and direct traffic.

- Hey, Sarge. - Yeah. What you got?

One of Stabler's would-be assassins.

That's the same bike.

God damn it. Another kid.

We thought it looked like Los Santos and the Camorra.

Yeah. We were ambushed, but I was lucky

- to stay out of the worst of it. - Yeah.

There's something you should know.

OK.

Pietro Spezzano was there.

- You mean Roman? - No, the kid.

Are you sure?

It was him.

He was scared out of his mind, but he was in on it.

Last night was a tip-off. It wasn't payback.

Los Santos is still planning to hit back at them hard.

But I won't know how until it's too late.

Exactly. So you're wearing this.

Elliot, I already told Sergeant...

I don't care.

After what happened last night,

we're not taking any more chances.

Now McVarty says just to make sure

to put it in a place that no one will find it.

Is he suggesting that I shove this?

He said you'd figure it out.

He didn't come home last night.

I'm sure he's fine.

He's probably just at the brewery helping Roman.

Nonna.

- Isabella Spezzano? - Yes.

I need you to come with me.

What's going on? What am I doing here?

When was the last time you spoke to Pietro?

Pietro? Has something happened?

Yeah, he's a suspect in a violent crime.

I have an eyewitness that places him at the scene,

and right now, there's an arrest warrant in process.

But you bring me here instead?

Yes.

- Tell me who you are. - What?

What do you mean, who am I? You know who I am.

Then prove it to me. Because if I'm right,

Pietro's already been initiated.

He's not going to help me, he's gonna protect his brother.

So I won't be able to convince him to save himself.

But you might.

And you brought your brother into this fucking mess!

Do you have any idea who you are dealing with?

You know the cops know about Father de Luca?

The man is a fool, and so are you.

Oh, I don't believe it. Jesus, Roman!

Jesus, you could have got yourself killed,

or Pietro, your sister.

You have to cut ties with these people.

You and your brother both.

- It's not that easy. - Oh, it is that easy.

Roman, it's the only way to save this family.

Everything I do is to protect our family.

- You're the one who threw it all away. - No.

You took us from our home, everything we knew.

You lost the right to make decisions for us.

It's my turn now.

Ro... Roman.

Rocco Spezzano is still behind bars.

And serving concurrent life sentences.

OK, can you get access to the visitors logs?

Yeah.

Italian state police finally came through.

Turns out Father de Luca was on their radar

as a person of interest in the murder of a local politician.

Case went cold earlier this year.

Well, now we see why he transferred here.

Mm-hmm. Enough for the ADA?

I'll make the call.

Hey, you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Roman.

- I messed up. - No, you didn't mess up.

They just knew we were coming. It was a total clusterfuck.

Yeah, but what about Sal?

Well, he understood the risks.

And they shot him.

They shot him right in front of me, Roman.

I... look, I don't know if I can do this.

I mean, everything's just so...

I know.

Hey.

Just keep your head straight.

Everything will be OK. All right?

Yeah.

- Come on. - Yeah.

We honor the memory of our fallen friends,

Jacob, Mateo, Tony,

and Salvatore, our loyal brothers.

We're not open, Stabler.

A couple of your friends

paid me a visit the other night.

You and I need to talk.

Nonna told me what happened the other night.

I'm glad you're OK.

Oh, yeah?

All right, Roman, let's not bullshit each other, all right?

We know what's going on here.

Well...

I know you threw my grandmother in an interrogation room.

After everything she's done for you.

How about what I did for you?

You mean the part where

you made my family turn on each other?

Or when you took us away from our home?

Well, I was thinking about the part

where I gave you a chance at a new life in America

- and you fucking blew it. - You think you're some kind of savior,

but you robbed my family of everything we had.

Hey, Sarge! We got a problem!

Reyes activated the tracker.

Los Santos is on the move.

Where are they going?

Oh, shit.

So how old were they,

the boys on that motorcycle that you sent to my house?

They had to have been young because they had me

at point blank range and they missed.

Yeah, you've got nothing.

If you did, you'd be here with a warrant

instead of some bullshit allegations.

You know, Roman, I really wish I had more time.

To do what?

To reason with you.

Just got word that Los Santos is

on the way to hit the brewery.

Local patrol and ESU are headed there now,

but they're not gonna make it in time.

Shit.

Cops! Let's get out of here!

- Vamos! - Vamos!

Pietro, no!

Pietro!

He was... he was going to...

he was... he was... he was going to...

Take him outside.

Sergeant, take him outside.
