Hey, Lalo, since when
are you border patrol?

Couple years now.

That's a sad thing... funeral.

What was she doing here?

She had to come back
to this poisonous shithole.

It's home.

She really wanted to fix this place.

Young Detective Dill
couldn't keep her nose

out of Packingtown.

- When was this?
- Three weeks ago.

You're Harold Snow. Why are you here?

I'm just looking for my bug.

Who paid you to bug your landlady?

Ferness, the ex.

It's the recording from
Felicity's apartment.

It was encrypted.

I need you to scream.

- What?
- Don't you move, Floyd.

They can't know I gave it to you.

I know it wasn't you.

[gunshots]

Brattle wants to come in.

Did he say as much?

He's living in a van, Cyrus.

I was sorry to hear about your sister.

What is it that you want, Clyde?

Something I want you to see.

He drove me to an
abandoned slaughterhouse.

It was full of drones.

[drones buzzing]

Figure this out, okay?

There she is.

Morning.

Take it light.

Breakfast is almost ready.

Why am I here?

Well, we had about
two drinks for every hour

the cops held us at the cemetery.

I tried to drop you back
off at your hotel room.

Did you change the locks?

[bright music]

What's with the toys?

It's my grandma's collection.

This was her house and...

this was her pride and joy.

Don't touch.

You don't like?

No, I just...

thought I'd been kidnapped
by a serial killer.

[laughs] Nope.

So, what's the deal here?

You, um,

managing your grandma's doll collec...

Toy. It's toy collection.

Toy collection for her.

I'll sell them all eventually.

Death is messy, Allegra.

It leaves a lot of loose ends.

Luckily, you've got West Texas's

best-dressed estate lawyer
to help tie up yours.

So, let's finish breakfast,

head on down to the office,
so you can sign

for that life insurance policy.

Oh, God. What now?

This is the bug from
Felicity's secret apartment.

Floyd handed it off to me yesterday.

Before he committed suicide by cop.

I don't think Floyd killed my sister.

Do you?

We may never get answers.

He's dead now. They both are.

What if the answers are on this tape?

I think she was undercover.

Laffter told me yesterday

that she was investigating
something in Packingtown.

Strucker got mad at her for it.

She gets a life insurance policy,

and three weeks later, she's dead.

You sound like Floyd.

Allegra,

you might not wanna hear this.

But the woman Colder eulogized yesterday

was your sister.

At least part of her.

Give her that at least.

Give me the bacon.

I'm gonna get this tape decrypted.

Sure.

Hell yeah.

Oh. Hal.

You didn't tell me we had company.

Uh, I'm so sorry. It's a work thing.

Yeah, Cindy's an independent
contractor like myself.

And overhead is tough,
but passion matters, you know?

Thank you so much for returning my baby.

Not yet.

You get it back if you make me
a decrypted, playable copy.

Okay.

I mean, it's voice-activated,

and the battery won't last
more than a couple of days,

so there ain't gonna be that much on it.

So, let's say 100 bucks?

Cash.

Something sweet and creamy. [laughs]

Thank you, and thank you.

I bet that would taste
good all over my body.

So, this is gonna take a minute.

Just so you know.

Yeah, I gotta upload it,
gotta decrypt it,

Cindy's pudding shows
are way better live.

And it's chocolate this week.

Banana cream, baby.

Yeah. She came in all the time.

Take out. Kung pao, no peanuts.

She ever just eat here?

Sometimes.

She'd park herself by

It's gone south in a hurry.

And it was already Patagonia.

It turned when the
Dunjee Brewery closed.

Dunjee just outsourced

The slaughterhouse.

Did Felicity sit in this seat
the last time she was here?

About three weeks ago?

She was here until closing.

I saw something here the other night.

Felicity was staking this place out.

She must have seen something too.

But now...

What am I supposed to be seeing?

There were drones in here.

Dozens of them.

Clyde Brattle dropped me off
here so I could see them,

and now they're gone.

Clyde Brattle,
AKA "The Dapper Philadelphian,"

and the target of your
Senator's big hearing.

You're my client.
Gotta know who I'm defending.

I don't need defending.

From where I stand,
it's only a matter of time.

So, you wanna catch me up
on what you're doing here?

The Feds were supposed to detain Brattle

while I secured Jake Spivey's testimony,

but now Jake won't talk, and...

Brattle wants the same deal.

So, what does any of this
have to do with Felicity?

Nothing, or so I thought.

Brattle's not the type
to get his hands dirty.

He's into mind games

and medium-sized coups.

I think Felicity

found something in here, and...

whatever it is,
Brattle wanted me to see it, too.

Why?

Maybe because he
knows my history with Jake,

and he wanted to give me something

to get me on his side.

So, how do we go about seeing
something that isn't here anymore?

- [crash]
- Somebody's here.

Allegra.

Hey!

[groans]

- Who was that?
- Damn it.

That was the cleanup crew.

[sighs]

[burps, sighs]

At the funeral, Eve?

At the fucking funeral?

I said I'd catch my man, and I did.

Don't get cute with me.

I don't pay for cute.

So, is the Dill case done, or what?

More or less, yeah.

Family's still in town.

There's a sister.

A sister? That don't count.

Nobody gives a shit about a sister.

I got a sister.

She's got shingles, three stepkids,

lives in a double wide
just outside of Fort Bliss.

I didn't know that.

Of course you didn't.
'Cause it doesn't fucking matter.

Now, I need this business
to go away quickly.

It'll all be wrapped up shortly, sir,

and I think you're gonna be real happy.

You know what makes me happy?
Very happy?

A glass of añejo in one hand.

And the back of a stripper's
head in the other.

- 'Cause the stripper's...
- I get it, Tony.

- I get it.
- Good.

'Cause there's something else.

I need you looking into Packingtown.

"Durango Global."

Salazar is a Castilian name.

A settlement.

Money, cars, community

host of armed narcos

They're not narcos.

But they'd have to be.

To protect you from Clyde Brattle.

I was military intelligence.

Clyde wasn't my partner.

Oh, that's right.

He was your superior.

Which is why he got a
bigger slice of the profits

My official sources tell
me that those rebels

were killed by loyalist
forces in the retreat.

But my unofficial sources
