Hey. Looks like Cesar Madrigal's

been using the cemetery
as a supply depot.

Guys were loading a car
with narcotics, got ambushed.

- La Fiera?
- Definitely her Malos Dorados.

All sporting the yellow sneakers.

Looks like she sent five shooters,

including the one
that was shooting at us.

They came in on foot
and opened up on Cesar's guys.

Unfortunately for yellow kicks,
they miscounted the enemy.

Got caught in a crossfire of two

of Cesar's crew they didn't see.

In less than a minute,
there's a baker's dozen of DBs.

- You up to speed?
- Getting there.

- Where's Sergeant Caradine?
- Sweating the cemetery owner.

She's clearly on Cesar's payroll.

This is only gonna get worse.

La Fiera's out for blood.

And Cesar is just strong enough
to put up a decent fight.

- You don't think he can win?
- No.

La Fiera has a lot more
resources than Cesar

and, honestly, a level of brutality

that his crew's never seen before.

We can't just stand by,
and watch them shoot up the city.

I mean, we got lucky this time,

no innocents were hurt,
but that can't last.

Word is Sandra flew back from
Guatemala after burying Diego.

She's bunkered down at Hotel Mathilde.

Rented out the whole ninth floor.

- Good to be queen.
- What about Cesar?

According to Narcotics,
he's in the wind.

I know someone who
might have some insight

on where to find him... Mack Daniels.

He was working for Cesar's dad
after getting fired by LAPD.

Will he talk to you?

Got him into rehab.
I can give him a call,

see if he has any idea
where Cesar might hole up.

Do it. And you...

go talk to La Fiera.

Impress on her the need to stand down.

Cesar killed her son.

I don't think there's
anything I can say

that'll get through to her.

- But I'll try.
- Thank you.

Alright.

And I thought my day was gonna be

chasing down cop RSVPs for the wedding.

It'll only take like two minutes

for La Fiera to tell you
to go screw yourself, so...

We should split the RSVP list.

It'll get done faster.

Yeah. I'm not doing that.

Fine. E-mail me the list.

Thank you.

Should've read the fine print on that

whole man-of-honor thing.

No kidding.

I'm just saying,
the cop who tackles the perp

should be the one to do the paperwork.

What? No.

The cop who didn't risk life and limb

running down a methed-out
sous-chef should have to do it.

Otherwise, you are
disincentivising hands-on policing.

- Ooh.
- You could just let me go.

Then there's no paperwork.

[KNOCK ON GLASS]

Oh. What's that, Sarge? You need me?

Sorry, partner. Paperwork's all yours.

Fine, but you are
tackling the next three guys.

- Uh-huh.
- Let's go.

You can teach me
what the hell sous vide is.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Yes, sir?

You heard about the mass
casualty event this morning?

Uh, yes, sir, but we knew
a gang war was coming, right?

Yes. And it's far from over.

Which, Detective Harper tells me,

presents an opportunity.

In times of chaos
like this it's not just

the criminal pecking
order that gets shaken up.

Undercover operations get upended.

Long-term UCs and CIs are neutered

when their bosses get killed or caught.

But, the upheaval also gives us

a chance to put new UCs in the field.

I got a call from June Zhang
this morning.

Aldo Salonga is out of prison,

and he is desperate
to cook product to move.

So he called her cover identity
and asked about you.

You want me to go back in
as the chemist?

June is already up
on another operation,

so she told Salonga that
you might be available.

- [EXHALES SHARPLY] I'm ready.
- Not so fast.

This wouldn't be a sting
operation like the last time.

This would probably be
a long-term placement.

Which means you'll be on your own,

without a surveillance team

or access to immediate backup.

It normally takes months

to properly train an officer,

to go deep undercover like this.

Hundreds of hours of classroom
and field training.

I told Detective Harper she has today,

to evaluate your readiness.

If she doesn't sign off

with confidence that you can handle it,

I will not approve the assignment.

Yes, sir.

I won't let you down.

It's not about letting me down,
Officer Chen.

There is no failure,

for finding yourself
unprepared for a job

you did not prepare for.

- Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.

Go get changed.

I'm throwing you in the deep end.

- Nice hideout.
- It's not a hideout.

It's a base of operations.

I know you.

- You were at my dad's hospital.
- That's right.

- The day you tried to kill La Fiera.
- Allegedly.

Nothing alleged about
what happened this morning.

- You lost a lot of men.
- TIM: And product.

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

Sure, you do.
You started a war you can't win.

- Says who?
- NOLAN: Everybody.

You're a minor league
ball club next to Fiera.

Even if you could compete,

you killed her son.

She's out for blood. Your blood.

TIM: But she's also a businesswoman.

Wars are expensive.

Unpredictable.

Word is she made a deal
with your father to take over.

Now, if you offered to honor that deal,

she might let you walk away
with your life.

What belonged to the father
will be inherited by the son.

That's in the Bible.

So this bitch can run around
all she wants

claiming she made some
sort of deal with my dad,

- but no one's gonna believe it.
- NOLAN: You better hope not.

If you lose the support
of your father's lieutenants,

they'll jump ship, and you'll be
all by your lonesome.

Hey...

You guys wouldn't happen to
know where La Fiera is, right?

In case I want to pay my respects.

Sorry. You'll have to figure
that one out on your own.

Yeah. I'm working on it.

So, what now?

Hope Lopez is doing better

And yet I can tell you're not

- Do you have a warrant?
- Not yet.

Is that a problem?

Not yet.

Thank you for the flowers
you sent for Diego's funeral.

They were lovely.

We held the service at Casa de Dios.

Thousands attended, and walked with me,

as we buried him in Chichicastenango...

In a bright yellow tomb,

to honor the sunshine
he brought into my life.

You should've stayed in Guatemala.

No.

I have unfinished business here.

Listen to me.

Up until this point, you've managed

to fly mostly under the radar,

away from the eyes of
federal law enforcement.

But you announced yourself
in a big way this morning.

A dozen dead bodies elevates you

to the top of the watchlist.

I have nothing left to lose, hermana.

But there is a very simple thing

you can do to end this war
before it goes any farther.

And what's that?

We both know you were wiretapping

a dying man's hospital room.

You heard him promise
to give me control,

but he slipped into a coma,

before he could tell his people.

You want this war to end?

- How?
- By giving La Fiera

Well, let's do it.
We'll stop the body count.

Not all of it.

She's gonna kill Cesar no matter what.

Better one homicide

Yep.

Yeah, the Wests are blue

And Black.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Um...

You want to know if being Black

affects my stance on police reform.

Does it?

Hell yeah.

I've seen firsthand
how the right kind of policing

can serve our communities

and make people's lives better.

So when an officer abuses their power

in those communities,

- I take it personally.
- That's interesting.

Given your family, I might've expected

a blue-wall-of-silence answer from you.

There definitely was a time,

when I had more faith in the system,

three things in my head at all times.

Yes. What are they?

First...

I always have to be aware of the law,

and proper procedure.

There are certain actions
I can take as a UC...

I can be the lookout for a burglary.

I can drive the getaway car...

And a lot of actions that I can't take.

I can't get high.

I can't assault or victimize someone.

- Second?
- I always have to be my character,

spend every moment channeling

Nova Lin and not Lucy Chen.

- Third?
- Um...

- Oh, shoot.
- You have to not get caught,

or killed.

- Right.
- If you really were a drug cook,

the only thing that you
would be worried about

is whether you are getting paid

or popped at the end of your cook.

But as a UC,

you have to have three

complicated streams of consciousness

going through your mind at all times.

How much time have you spent
on your backstory?

I've filled four journals.

- [CHUCKLES]
- What?

It's... It's just gonna be interesting

to see what you thought

And that right there

Until cops speak up about

But at what cost?

- This young man's career?

Jackson is willing to step up

Now, Detective Harper informs me

- Yes, sir.
- Okay. Come on.

So...

Dilaudid, meth, heroin, fentanyl.

Chemically speaking,
what's the difference

between nasal decongestant and meth?

One oxygen molecule.

- Just one.
- And to add that molecule?

You have to break
the pseudoephedrine down,

then add methyl alcohol

and evaporate it,
so that the oxygen can...

Boom! Half your chemicals
just burned up.

Improvise. Where do you get
the methyl alcohol?

- Um...
- Where?

Windshield washer fluid,

then fertilizer with anhydrous ammonia.

Sodium metal or lithium metal.

You can get that from batteries.

Yes, you can. Good.
