SHANE:
Previously on The Shield...

VIC:
My here and now
is how to bring down Pezuela

in the 10 days
I still have a badge.

ACEVEDA:
Pezuela is one of

the biggest contributors
to my campaign.

When these files turned up
at my office,

I realized Pezuela
was using them

to blackmail prominent
citizens.

The Mexican drug cartel
is using Pezuela
as a front.

This is
an ICE investigation now.

Chaffee is making this case
a priority.

You need someone on the
inside.

And that only means me.

MURRAY:
Pezuela's guard's up.

That's why I have to
give him back
the blackmail box.

VIC:
I've got a plan

that will give Lem
the justice he deserves.

I'll take a look around.

SHANE:
Vic and Ronnie
tried to kill me tonight.

They set me up.

They think I'm too stupid
to even realize it.

Now we have no idea
what Shane knows,

what he suspects
or what he'll do.

[GRUNTS]

I think he broke
my goddamn jaw.

WOMAN:
Two-Man snatched her
by the hair,

bashed her in the face...

I knew I wasn't ever
gonna see that breezie again.

SHANE:
Two-Man,
I arrest you for murder.

Or you can work with me.

Work with you how?

I need your help
getting rid of somebody.

That's gonna mean looking
somebody in the eye,

and pulling the trigger,
though.

TWO-MAN:
You ain't serious.

You don't know
how goddamn serious I am.

JACKSON:
I'm not sleepy,
I wanna play.

I know,
but not really now.

Why?

MARA:
Because it's time
to go to bed.

No, keep him up,
all right?

But it's late, he's fussy.
Good.

Just let the whole block know
that we're both at home

dealing with a cranky kid.
Come on.

So run through this with me.

MARA:
In 30 minutes,
I go online,

I check
the Georgia Bulldogs score.

I keep checking
every 10 minutes.

I log in,
answer your e-mails.

Order the pizza at 11:00.
You turn on the shower.

Delivery guy comes, and I
yell at you for some cash.

Make sure he sees this.

I know.

Go.

Okay.

Not used to love letters
so late at night.

What's so urgent?

You think I'm wired?

We're more involved now.
Rules of engagement change.

Midnight texts,
chaperones, engagement.

Sounds like we're
becoming an item.

I need you to put
a drug dealer out of business.

You came to the best.

[SCOFFS]

This is your drug dealer?

Father Morton is letting
gang members deal

heroin and cocaine

out of this mission

for a cut of the profits.

Another one of your
black mailbox buddies?

What do you want me to do,
arrest him?

He submits his yearly fiscal
report to the diocese next
week.

I want him to recommend
that they close St. Luke's.

This church is nearby
Pezuela-ville, isn't it?

Across the street
from our renewal project.

You can't get a liquor permit
if there's a church

within a thousand feet.

Looked like they were gonna
close last year,

but they didn't.

So we need to give them
a little push.

Force his recommendation
for closure.

By end of day tomorrow.

Pezuela wants
to close the church

to get his liquor permit.

How many commandments
does that violate?

He wasn't his normal suave
self. He was kinda tweaked.

He had a bodyguard.

Things are heating up.

You got federal approval
to play along.

Rattle the priest,
get him to agree.

It's the first step
in an extortion charge.

I have to clear the time
with Wyms.

I already did. Told her I
needed your gang expertise
for a day.

She suggested
I take you for the week.

The love just keeps coming.

About my expertise...

My hearing was yesterday.

I'm out in eight days.

I know.

I'm sorry.

What I've been doing
for ICE here,

I'd like it to be
a regular thing.

You're forgetting
I've read your file.

More importantly,
so has my boss.

The Farmington's
become a cartel hot zone.

Word gets out that
I've crossed the line

and I'm working
rogue muscle for Pezuela,

it's gonna open
a lot of doors.

I need a soft landing, you
need a pair of eyes on the
inside.

It's a win-win.

Not my call to make,
but I'll pass it up the line.

In the meantime, follow
through with Pezuela's dirty
deed.

Hey, uh,

you're not actually gonna let
Pezuela shut that church down?

We'll get to someone
in the diocese

before that happens.

Good. I wouldn't wanna piss
off Jesus on top of everyone
else.

[GIGGLES]

Cool car.

Thanks.

How long you been bartending?
Couple years.

But I go to school days
to be a dental hygienist.

Really? Good for you.

VIC:
Yeah, Ronnie, what's up?

Oh, shit.
You get a look at the guy?

Black guy,
but his face was covered.

My date took a frag in the
arm.

All right, man, don't worry,
I'm coming. I'm on the way.

[VEHICLE DEPARTS]

♪♪♪

Holy shit.

Hope he had
the wrong address.

Glad I moved to the valley.
It's so much safer.

You feeling okay?

Don't talk to me, shithead.

So much for your
bamboo cage fantasy.

Claudette called North Valley.
Barn's handling the case.

Jesus.
And you're in one piece?

What happened
to Hanoi Hannah?

Ah, she caught a stray.

She'll live. Not sure I'm
gonna get date number two.

BILLINGS:
Number one ended up here?

I'll explain it some time.

We'll have Corrections spit
out a list of recent parolees.

See if one of the names
don't jump out at you.

I can think of a dozen
dickheads

who would try something
stupid like this.

Porch light bulb was
unscrewed. You see
or hear anything?

Didn't see his face.
Black guy, though,
saw his arms.

He was riding a motorcycle,
had a big gun.

That's all I know.

Three fifty-seven.

Looks like armor-piercing.

Somebody wanted you dead
two or three times.

Only a few places in town you
can get high-end lead like
this.

CLAUDETTE: A place to start.
WOMAN: You okay, Ronnie?

Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

Shonda here spotted the cycle,
got a partial plate.

I don't like to get involved
in messy shit,

but you helped my cousin out.

I figured it wouldn't
be right not helping.

DUTCH:
What did you see?

The bike was black and red.
One of those fast Asian
models.

I got some of the plate
number.

CLAUDETTE:
Thank you very much.

Timing's creepy
with all the shit

going on with Shane lately.

First thing
that crossed my mind.

We'll find the brother
on the other end of the gun,

squeeze the truth
out of him.

Hey, wanna crash
at my house?

You got a bamboo cage?

For chrissake.

Oh, shit. I got that ICE thing
first thing tomorrow morning.

Olivia's got you
working a Pezuela?

Since Pezuela squeezed her,

Olivia wants to nail that
asshole worse than I do.

But don't worry,
I'll cancel it.

No, no. That's gonna
screw you with Pezuela.

Listen, stick with it.

I'll head back to the Barn,
try to find the shithead
myself.

I'm not gonna sleep anyway.

Not without my Asian
throw pillow.

All right.

Partial plate provided
by our witness,

we've narrowed this down
to about 400 names.

We just found a connection.
Maceo Padmore.

We know Padmore better
as Two-Man.

Who's Two-Man?

Asshole we banged around
the other day

trying to close that Farrah
thing you stuck us to.

Any reason
he'd come after you?

It got physical between us,

but nothing unusual.

How the hell did this guy
find my place?

Any moron with a laptop
and half a brain

can pay you a visit
these days.

We should
return the favor.

CLAUDETTE:
You're already
detailed to ICE.

I hear you flashing a badge
anywhere at Farmington today,

I'll have you chained to a
desk for the rest of your time
here.

I want all eyes looking
for Padmore.

Any information regarding him

or the attempted murder
of Detective Gardocki,

I want reported to Detectives
Wagenbach and Billings.

You're gonna be
on desk duty today.

You're a victim of a crime,
it's mandatory.

Shane and Julien can hit
the streets on your behalf.

We got an address
on Padmore.

CLAUDETTE:
Okay. Notify SWAT.
I'll let the chief

know you'll need a warrant
ASAP.

I would have parked Shane too,
but I need the manpower.

You keep an eye on him.

Understood.

Hey, I might be on loan
out to ICE today,

but you find out where
this Padmore prick is,

I'll be there--

I'll be there
in a heartbeat.

I know.

SHANE:
This is bullshit.

Everyone used to fear this
team.

Now word's hit the street,
Vic's on the way out,

suddenly they think it's all
right to take a shot at us?

We need to remind them
who we are,

put this asshole's dick
in the dirt.

We don't need to turn the heat
up any higher than it is.

He almost tried to kill you
over a bloody jaw, man.

He and everybody else gotta
know that shit ain't gonna
fly.

Plenty of time for payback for
this dick when we pinch him.

If he happens to fall
in front of a moving bus,

consider it an accident.

Let's go talk
to his girls for hire.

See where he
mattresses up.

Anything we find, man,
we'll let you know.

I suppose it's possible
Two-Man got pissed

did this on his own.

Possible.

I just can't figure out what
leverage Shane might have had

to make him try it.

Neither can I.

Look, maybe we're looking for
the devil when he's not there.

Maybe.

Doesn't hurt for us
to keep our eyes open, though.

Look, uh, this ho?
She's a little shy.

Just let me start off
one on one,

we can go salt and pepper on
her if her tongue freezes up.

Got you.
Okay.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING WITHIN]

Hey, Capuchina.

Capuchina?

I was plucking
for my next date.

Eyebrows look fine.

I wasn't talking eyebrows.

Listen, I need your help
finding Two-Man before he
finds you.

You said you was gonna keep
my name out of it.

I held up my end.

It must have been some perp in
the cage who saw you come in.

All I know is that word is out
and he's looking for you.

Shit.

Tell me where I can
look for him.

You try talking
to white Farrah?

She's so spun on crank,

she doesn't know whether

to piss standing up or
sitting.

Two-Man knows
I ratted him out.

Hey, listen to me, listen to
me. Just listen to me.

Okay? Listen to me.

The best long term solution

is we pretend
like we never even talked.

I mean, you never
pointed a finger at Two-Man.

Even if some other cop
ever asks you, okay?

Okay.

Now, where do I find him?

He got peoples around the way.

Cousin, I think.
Okay, well, cousin's got a
name.

So, what is it?
[LIGHTER FLICKS]

What is it?

Could have been me or you
getting shot at last night.

Could have been your wife
made a widow by this guy.

This guy. He deserves
whatever it is we give him.

It's not for us to decide.

No, it's up to him.

Two-Man's crazy.
He's big too.

He's got firepower,
so he's not gonna come easy.

Are you ready?

I got your back.

Okay. This guy almost
killed a cop last night.

So if he blinks, let's not let
him get it right this time.

[MAN AND WOMAN SHOUTING]

Hey, hey, it's the police!

Open this door.

What's going on?

We're looking for Two-Man.
He's expecting us.

You ain't got
no right coming--

Do what? Look for a guy
who almost killed a cop?

You have no right to be here.
Get out.

You got it?
Yeah.

SHANE:
Shut up!

Stop.
Let me see your hands.

All right--
Don't shoot.

Let me see your hands!
Don't move!

Whoa, buddy, that's not him.
That's not Two-Man.

MAN:
I ain't Two-Man, man.
I ain't Two-Man.

Man, chill.
SHANE: Where's your cousin?

What? I don't know.

Why you sneaking
out the window?

You got a message to deliver?

No man,
Two-Man was here for a minute,

but he took his stuff
and left, man. Serious.

How long ago?
About an hour, man.

VIC:
Father Morton?
Detective Mackey.

I need to have a little
conversation with you

about some of your altar boys.

MORTON:
They come here for a hot meal
and a place to sleep.

What they do on the street
is out of my hands.

Out of your hands
and into your pocket, right?

I know you've been letting
the E-Park Johnnies

deal out of your mission.

I also know
you're taking a cut.

No squad car and uniforms?

What's your play,
detective?

My play, padre,

is to get you to change
your "mission" mission.

Your review with the pope
wannabes is next week.

You're gonna recommend
they shut down St. Luke's.

Why would I do that?

Photographs of you
and Damon Leeks,

head of the Johnnies,
breaking bread.

Bank statements
showing deposits

into your unauthorized
bank account.

This goes into the shredder

as soon as you help
close this place down.

I can't do that.

Hey, you not hearing me?

You'll lose that collar
and I'm gonna gain one.

You're gonna do time
for this shit.

Then you're gonna
have to arrest me,

because I can't
close the doors here.

[RAP SONG PLAYING ON STEREO]

Damon Leeks.

Shit. Heard they retired
your cracker-ass.

Too young and pretty to
retire. Made them shitcan me.

Which means I only
got another eight days

to shitcan maggots like you.

Brother's all about his thick.
Better go easy on that
juice, D.

Brains turn into hot sauce,
shrinks the balls to raisins.

Oh. Sorry, I'm too late.

My brain is fine tuned

and them balls
are the size of cat eggs.

Seen your crew
around St. Luke's.

I know you're supplying
the transient crowd

with H and blow.

Just helping the destitute.
Serving up holy gruel and
shit.

yeah, right. i need to know
how the priest figures into
this.

He taking a cut of the sales,
or you just paying him rent?

He's our spiritual counselor,
man.

And I'm the counselor
who's about to crush

your heroin selling summer
camp.

Got nothing to crush.
Y'all got no evidence.

Ain't gonna put no homeless
junkie on the stand.

And the priest?

He bound by oath
to keep his mouth shut.

Since when are you a Catholic?

Oh, since Jesus H. Christ.

I've seen
the preliminary results

from the exploratory
committee.

Very favorable.

Your years
as a police captain

give people a lot of
confidence in your ability to
lead.

Research is young,
but indicators are promising.

District Attorney Lima
has also launched

an exploratory committee.

Yes, I know.

Anita is very aggressive.

She's convinced she's going to
be L.A.'s first woman mayor.

Why don't you just say
what you wanna say.

You're a man of vision.

I believe you will be
this city's next mayor.

I appreciate the vote
of confidence--

You're green.

You lack influential support.

You need to surround yourself

with people who can shape
that vision.

I wanna be one of those
people.

Thanks for the offer.

I'll take it under
consideration.

I have the influence and power

to make you the next mayor
of this city.

So are you guaranteeing
me a win?

Yes.

I have leverage you couldn't
even begin to understand.

Working with me
is not a decision

that requires any thought.

It's a one-time offer.

Forgive me, but you have
sinned, and I need a goddamn
confession.

I am in the middle of service.
Get out.

But I got this question
gnawing at my soul.

Why would a priest
protect drug dealers?

So I went and visited
the little douche bags,

and they're all
cocky as hell,

secure in the knowledge

that their humble priest
won't rat 'em out.

And I think, wow,

whatever it is these bangers
have on the Father

is much worse than
what I've laid at your feet.

Now, what would be worse

than a priest losing his
collar and going to jail?

Then it hits me.

A priest going to jail
for molesting boys.

MORTON:
Get the hell out of my church.

What, no absolution?

Come on, come on.

Move it.

Listen, just because
some sick perverts

decide to live out their
fantasies through the collar

doesn't mean every priest
is a gay pedophile.

Then what do the Johnnies
have on you, sir?

I'm not a quitter, Padre.

Two years ago,
I had an affair.

One of my parishioners.

Keisha Leeks.

She had a child.

Holy shit.
Damon's sister?

Now he's threatening
to out you?

Already disgraced my vows.

Damon is a psychopath.

He's threatening to kill
Keisha and Adam

if I don't cooperate.

Those bank deposits
are for Keisha and the baby.

I would never take a dime
of his drug money.

What do you know
about Damon's operation?

Keisha lives with
her grandfather.

She says Damon uses
the old man's place

to cut and bag his dope.

You let me take care of Damon.

What if I can get Keisha
and your kid

into a shelter somewhere?
I already tried that.

The urban renewal project
that's taking over the hood

closed down the last
two shelters in the area.

Now you're doing
whatever you can

to take care of your blood,

I get it.

You leave the good deed
for the day up to me.

CLAUDETTE:
Good news.

Squad car picked up
Two-Man on Kenmore.

How'd they find him?

It's easy to spot
a moving violation

when the horsepower's
between their legs.

Watched this asshole run
through a stop sign,

nearly clipped a city bus.

Then he gave us a fake name.

But he's got a memorable mug,
even in black and white.

Shot and tried to kill one
of my detectives last night.

I surely did not.

Glad you around to vouch
for my character, though.

Jaw's feeling better.

COP:
Right back there.

Hey. You got the guy.

Citywide APB, rookie comes
through with the big bust.

Is he-- Is he talking yet?

No. Dutch and Billings
will have first crack.

We'll start with the tussle
of the projects.

He admits to a beef with
Ronnie, that's the open door
we need.

DUTCH: Let's go.
Good.

Hey, Steve, hold on.

Just because I'm on the street
all the time

doesn't mean I haven't heard
about your little lawsuit.

I don't want your half-assed
brand of police work

you've been phoning
in around here lately

anywhere near a hit on one
of my Strike Team members.

It's not gonna happen here.

The guy shot at a cop,
cuffs are never coming off.

We'll get him.

Maceo Padmore.

I'm Detective Wagenbach,
this is Detective Billings.

We're gonna
wanna talk to you

about an attempted
shooting last night.

BILLINGS:
Heard you had a run-in
with Detective Gardocki.

Yeah, his fist
ran into my jaw.

That why you wanted
to kill him?

I ain't try
to kill nobody.

Then your motorcycle did,
because a witness saw it

fleeing from the scene
of a shooting last night.

This faggot-ass cop
laid his hands on me.

Y'all need to arrest
his damn ass.

Great. Only 20 seconds in,
already we've got motive.

TWO-MAN [ON TV]:
That ain't no motive.
I'm Christian.

I turned the other cheek.
He could turn both,

he'd still be talking
out of his ass.

BILLINGS [ON TV]:
Lucky for Gardocki,

you can't hit a guy 10 feet
away with a clear shot.

TWO-MAN:
That wasn't me,
so I guess we'll never know.

Assuming it wasn't, where were
you last night around 11:00?

Passed out in my bed.
Anybody see you?

Not that I can think of.

Unless dude that jacked
my bike for that joyride

was peeking in my window.

Look, this is just
getting started.

I'm gonna go check
on my other thing.

Yeah, I'll keep you informed.
TWO-MAN: Your neighbors

know where you at every
night?

BILLINGS:
Probably know
he's not out to kill a cop.

DUTCH:
They did hear your
motorcycle leave at 10:30

and return sometime after 1.

Nice of whoever stole it

to bring it back
when they were done.

Nicer if dude
had filled up the tank.

Only chance you have of
getting a better deal is to
confess now.

Y'all don't think
I know y'all fronting?

Trying to run a game on a
nigga.

From where I sit,
you're about to lose big time.

We're gonna let him stew
for a while.

CLAUDETTE:
Because we've got
plenty of nothing?

He knows it. There's no use
going back until we change
that.

Anything on the gun?

RONNY:
We got unis at his apartment

and going over the route home.

It's good we know the way,
because we don't find
that gun,

we may as well give him
a ride home.

JULIEN:
What about the cousin's house?
We checked it out earlier,

Two-Man had been there.
Better take another look.

What are we waiting for?

Search warrant. Make a call.

I can talk the cousin into
letting us in. Save us time.

Great. We'll send unis--

Just me and Julien.
Too many bodies

will look like an occupation
instead of a request.

Okay. Get over there.

Hey.
Give me a minute first?

All right.
Meet you outside.

SHANE:
Hey.

Where you hide the gun?
Getting me out?

Where did you
hide the gun?

Look, man,
I've gotta get to it before

anybody else here does.

Or maybe you wanna
put me away with it?

Look, I am trying to save you,
dumb-ass.

Without that gun,
they don't have shit on you,

but I have to get to it first.

Look, they're on their way

to your cousin's
house right now.

If the gun is there,
they're going to find it.

You think I trust you?

You wanted me to kill your own
cop buddy, remember that?

Which means we're in this
goddamn thing together.

Right now, please,
tell me where the gun is.

There's a grate in the
backyard. Some kind of sewer
thing.

It's in there, underneath.

Why is the camera off?

I don't think you'd want
a defense attorney

hearing the names I was
just calling this asshole.

I stay undercover for you
guys, keep gaining Pezuela's
trust.

And ICE gets a front row seat
to the Mexican cartel show.

As much as your
tainted reputation

may help you on the street,

it concerns the higher-ups.

It's not gonna be an easy sell
making this a full-time gig.

Come on, you guys make deals
with Freeway Rick,

Antwon Mitchell.

Here's a chance to put
one of the good guys

back on the street,
get something done.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

Send him in.

It seems you're not the only
one that Pezuela's trying to
employ.

[DOOR OPENS]

Pezuela say
anything else?

Indicate why he played
the mayor card this early?

ACEVEDA:
Didn't get to ask questions.
I showed reluctance,

he turned his offer
into an ultimatum.

Demanded a reply by tonight.

Why is Montalban crawling out
of his fine Corinthian skin?

We're not at liberty
to discuss it.

Hey, I'm the one
on the firing line.

Anything coming at Pezuela's
gonna be pointed

right at my dome too.

If it's any consolation,
you won't be alone.

You need to take him up
on his offer.

Accept his support for mayor.

I gave you that box
to distance

myself from this guy.
I've washed my hands.

Are you sure those hands
are clean, councilman?

Because I can pull
the threads on your

the-box-showed-up-
on-my-doorstep story.

I risked everything I've
worked for bringing that box
to you.

Hey, we're all
on the same side here.

Let's talk about
what needs to get done.

Pezuela's spooked.

We need to keep him in L.A.

Securing you as his
mayor-in-pocket will do that.

So we're getting the liquor
permits for his renewal
project.

Both of you have
to get in bed with him.

Jesus Christ.

Pezuela's being evaluated.

Cartel.

Someone's here.

That's why he's with
the entourage, isn't it?

He's scared.

He's being watched.
He knows it.

Making some bold moves
to secure the confidence

of his backers in Mexico.

Our one and only goal is to
tie Pezuela to the cartel.

And what happens
when this blows up

and my name gets tied
to Pezuela and the cartel?

Former-cop goes undercover
to catch a cartel player

trying to buy a mayor.

Smells like victory.

My opponent gets
hold of this,

it's gonna smell
like something else.

Olivia will be your
point person from now on.

She'll contact you.

Be careful, gentlemen.

Hey, don't worry, if Pezuela
wants you taken out,

I'll be the one
he hires to do it.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Order to keep Pezuela

in play came down from
the Department of Defense.

Means the cartel evaluator is
most likely Mexican military.

D.C. wants us
to track this new guy,

see who and what
he plugs into.

If you really want to make
yourself an asset to us,

find a way to align yourself
with this military cat.

I'll see what I can do.

Hey.

You handled yourself
really well back there.

I'm glad you're the one
who's got my back.

I made some calls.

Got Keisha and Adam Leeks into
El Segundo Family Shelter.

That's great.
I'll go let her know.

SHANE:
Your cousin's at the station

being grilled
for attempted murder.

Evidence could be here.

We got nothing to do with
this.

You can either let us
take a look around now

or 20 cops show up in an hour
and wreck this place.

It's up to you.

Okay.

You take the front two rooms,
I'll take the back?

[SIGHS]

Shane and Julien
came up empty at the cousin's.

How far does a witness
and partial plate get?

You willing to roll to a jury
with that if he'd been trying

to fill your ass with lead?

CLAUDETTE:
Anywhere on associates?

Other than Bombay,
who's dead, there's no one.

Maybe it's time
to switch up teams here.

Hey. We're doing the best
we can with what we've got.

And the final result's
this asshole walking

with nothing
but hunger pangs.

You wanna help,
drum up some evidence.

SHANE:
Searched my ass off for the
gun.

The guy's smart to hide it

where we're not going
to find it.

We're not putting
this guy away

without that gun
or a confession.

So if you've pushed
all the buttons you can,

then let's get a little
new blood up there.

Who? You?

Me and Julien.

Well, we're--
We're not through.

He doesn't know
we don't have the gun.

RONNY:
Risky lie.

Look man,
he catches you in that fib

he hardens, you've got
no place left to squeeze.

We started this,
we finish it.

One last shot.

Let's go.

Hey, guess what.

We found the gun you used to
shoot at Detective Gardocki.

Yeah? Where?

That's funny.

Innocent man says there
is no gun to find.

BILLINGS:
Guilty asks where.

DUTCH:
Earlier today
you gave us motive.

BILLINGS:
No verifiable alibi
equals opportunity.

DUTCH:
Gun gives us means.

BILLINGS:
Means, motive, opportunity,

the holy trinity
of incarceration.

Question is whether
this gets written

as first or second
degree murder.

Difference of six years,

reducible with good
behavior or 20.

There ain't no gun to find.

Now, if you found a gun,
show it to me,

and I tell you why that gat

and any other shit
you found ain't mine.

How we looking?

If Wagenbach and Billings
do any more jerking off

it's gonna be a goddamn
bukkake party in there.

Let me and Vic
have a run at this guy.

Where are we
at with him?

They told him
we found the gun.

And we don't have it,
so he's feeling his oats.

Look, it's time to put
the first string in

before this game is lost,
coach.

Okay.
Okay, come on.

Wait a second,
I got a better idea.

This guy's shot
is knocking around hookers.

He's already pissed off
a bunch of them, right?.

Instead of producing
the real gun we don't have,

why don't we produce
the fake witnesses we do.

DUTCH:
Do the right thing.

Save the taxpayers
a lot of money

on an unnecessary trial.

Just give us one person who
can establish your
whereabouts.

Why don't you give me one
person who says I was there?

[DOOR OPENS]
Detective Wagenbach.

I hear we don't have shit
on this prick.

So here's what
we're gonna do.

I, um, can't really see
what's going on down there.

I want you to smile at me
like we've got this bastard

hung to the cross,

and thank me
like you really mean it.

DUTCH CHUCKLES]

I appreciate it.

Detective Mackey
turned up two witnesses,

claim you told them
you were gonna kill the cop.

TWO-MAN:
That's some bullshit.
Who said that?

Couple pros you use
as punching bags,

Farrah and Capuchina?

They're giving statements
right now.

I didn't say nothing
to them bitches.

You cops getting them to
snitch over the beat downs
they earned.

BILLINGS:
So now we got you
on a couple of assaults.

We got the gun,

we got two witnesses who say
he planned the shooting,

we've got the witness who saw
the motorcycle at the scene.

I think we're done here.

VIC:
There it is. There's the worm.

Take it.

Come on, it's right in front
of you, shithead. Take it.

TWO-MAN:
What if you get forced
to do something

that you didn't
really wanna do?

I mean, that's not a crime,
right?

DUTCH:
Not necessarily. It depends.

What are we talking
about exactly?

Be right back.

TWO-MAN:
That ho Amber that
got herself killed.

DUTCH:
What about her?

He was gonna put my name
on that killing,

I don't do what he say.

He needed a cop merked.

DUTCH:
Who wanted him dead?

I ain't gonna get trouble,
right?

I had no choice.

Who are we talking about?
Who made you do it?

That cop in there.

BILLINGS:
What cop?

Dixie-Boy.

TWO-MAN:
He gave me the .357.

Told me the address,

told me his partner's shift
ended at 11:00.

Told me what kind
of car he's driving,

told me where to hide
so I wouldn't be seen.

Told me two shots
to bring him down,

two shots to the head
to be sure.

Hey, Shane, I'm in charge
of softball sign-ups.

You in this year?
Uh, sure.

Wanna play center field?
Yeah, okay.

We lost Asher at shortstop.

Whatever.

It's gonna be $75 this year,
instead of the usual 50.

Shane Vendrell hired you
to kill Gardocki?

I didn't get hired to do shit.

I got thrown on a slave ship
and given a gun for an oar.

Wasn't no money in it.

He was in here earlier.

CLAUDETTE:
Mackey. Julien.

Sorry.

Where's Vendrell?
WOMAN: What's going on?

What number do you want?
You pick.

You can have anything but 23,
17 and 35. What do you want?

Pick the goddamn number
and shove it up your ass.

Okay.

MAN:
Call me.

CLAUDETTE:
Mackey.

What's going on?
I'm looking for Shane.

Just left.
Who put a cactus up his ass?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MARA:
Corrine?

Hi. You left Jackson
in the car?

I need you to listen
very carefully.

Why?
Just listen.

Vic murdered
Terry Crowley.

Shane was there,
he saw it.

And later,
Vic and the Strike Team

robbed the Armenian mob
of over $2 million.

That's why there was an
Armenian hit man in your house

hunting down you
and your kids.

Shane shot him
and saved you.

And two nights ago,

Vic and Ronnie
tried to kill Shane

and the Armenians
that were a threat to you.

The Armenians got killed,
but Shane didn't.

Last night, he retaliated
out of self-defense.

You're crazy.

No. Someone is finally
telling you the truth.

Well, I'm not listening, okay?

No, just shut up
and pay attention.

There is a lot of shit

going down at the Barn
right now.

Shane and I are
getting out of town.

You are gonna pass two
messages on to Vic and Ronnie.

The first is a reminder
that they started this

when they tried
to kill Shane.

The second is that
they are gonna do

everything in their power

to prevent any and all
authorities from finding us,

because if we get caught,

Shane is gonna testify
to so much Strike Team shit

that the two of them will be
put away for 10 natural
lifetimes.

Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?

Yes.

You're gonna be
by your phone every day

at 1 in the afternoon
and 10:00 at night.

I'm gonna call from wherever
we are and check in.

Vic needs to give
you information

on what the cops
know about us

and where they think
we're going.

You tell him all of this.

Everything,
exactly what I said.

Must have given you some
reason

why he wanted you
to kill Gardocki.

No, the man was all about
the whens, wheres and hows.

Why never crossed his lips.

Unis just checked in.
Shane's house is empty.

It looked like a quick pack
job. Whole family's on the
move.

Why?

It's clear Mara's
an accomplice.

No. Why did this man
try and kill him?

No clue.

Ask Shane.

I will when I catch up with
him.

And both of you are not
to leave this building.

I've got questions,
I expect answers.

TWO-MAN: I got love for all,
even ho's. I wouldn't hurt a
fly.

BILLINGS:
You know you did
shoot that spinner?

Is she all right?

Gonna be left-handed
for the next six months.

Look, I'm sorry she got hit
up, but that cop gave me no
choice.

Squeezed me over a bullshit
murder charge

and tried to get me
to cap his dude.

Y'all about bringing force
down on the street.

Why don't y'all take a look
at what you got going on

under your own roof.

Holy shit.
CORRINE:
That's right, holy shit.

Okay, okay. We need your help.

My help?

Do it for whatever
reason you need,

for the kids, for Ronnie,
the time we've spent.

But help us now.
Please.

If you tell me the truth
and I believe you,

I will help you.

Did you really do
all those things?

I did a lot of things
that I shouldn't have done.

For reasons that made
sense at the time,

but are pretty hard
to defend right now.

What do you want me to say?
That I'm different?

I don't wanna go to prison.
Do you want me to go to
prison?

Do either of you
even feel any shame?

I don't think about it.

CORRINE:
Well, that's honest.

Sad thing is, I've known.

Maybe not the specifics,
the details, but I've known,

and I have let you infect me
and our children.

I'll help you
this one last time,

and then the kids and I
are out of your life.

That is my price,
and you have to pay

some kind of price.

First call from Mara's
at 1:00 in the afternoon.

You let me know
what you want me to tell her.

Okay, we go in cold,
watch for my signal.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING WITHIN]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

WOMAN:
Yeah? What do you want?

Drop off for Damon.

Are you Keisha?
Mm-hm.

Father Morton sent me.

Gonna get you and your kid out
of here. Safe.

For real?
Promise. Now, who's inside?

My gramps with my boy,
watching TV.

Damon's in the back bedroom.
Got three of his boys with
him.

Good girl.
Get her out of here.

It's gonna be all right.

Quick.

Okay,
get out of here.

Hey!

Police!

[GRUNTS]

That's all right.

Where you're going,
all you're gonna need is lips.

Come on.

Here's my kid's tuition.

Pezuela gave me an extra
5 grand for the fast work.

The Mackey I read about in
your file would have pocketed
that.

I'm not the bastard my boss
tried to make me out to be

while I was logging
more high profiles collars

than anyone else
in this city.

And I want the job.

I think you've got Chaffee
half-convinced.

Bring Pezuela home and I think
we'll get all the way there.

With a push from me.

Olivia.

Thanks for doing
the right thing by me.

Wouldn't wanna piss off Jesus.

[DOOR OPENS]

If Shane was gonna retaliate
against both of us,

why only come after me?

And why trust
it to someone like Two-Man?

He needed to give
himself an alibi.

Or he needed someone
to kill you,

because he was waiting
to kill me.

I got your call,

I didn't even
get inside my door.

Huh.

Even with our help,
how long can they hide?

A month?
If they're lucky, a year?

Two-Man couldn't even go a day
without getting scooped.

We gotta find them
before anyone else.

How? It sounds like
they're heading out of state.

Claudette knows we're
gonna be gunning him,

she's gonna keep us
chained up here.

Saw the cage
full of Johnnies.

Consider it my going away
present just for you.

Why did Shane
try to get Ronnie killed?

What went wrong with you
three?

I'm done.

Officially resigning.

You can send the paperwork
to my house.

I'll turn in my .45
on the way out.

You have a week left.

I thought you wanted
to play it out hard.

I do, but you'll just
anchor me to my desk.

So it's kiss-my-ass time.

Mackey, you do not interfere
with this case.

Seeing as how
I'm not a cop anymore,

you really don't have
jurisdiction

over what I do, captain.

You rogue out on this,

you do anything sideways
like you did with Lemansky,

and I'll lock up your corrupt
ass faster than you can say:

"How'd I lose this job?"

This is all that's left
of this job.

I don't want it.
