Train 14 bound to Fresno is now boarding on track 2.

Rick!

Carlos!

Carlos, good to see you.

It's been a long time, man.

Thanks for coming.

You're welcome.

Come on.

I spoke to Tomas last week and I told him

I was coming home next Tuesday.

Really?

So this is a surprise for them?

Yeah, my grandson, he's being Christened today.

I'm going to surprise him, you know?

That's great.

How is your family?

How's your dad doing? - Ah, you know the old man.

He's still the same.

Good to be out, Rick.

You don't know how hard it was for me in there, man.

Gangs put a lot of pressure on you?

Yeah, and no matter where you go in the lockup,

you're being confronted with something.

Look, if I can help you with anything, you name it, I will.

Hey, just by you coming to see me,

that has helped me more than you could ever imagine.

I owe you, man.

You don't owe me nothing, Carlos.

You owe yourself.

You're starting over now, brother.

Yeah.

Hey, Carlos.

Hey, Carlos.

Carlos!

12 years, and only years, my son.

We're a family again.

We're a family again.

It's your grandson.

Rick.

Carlos.

Adios.

I baptize the, Hector Emilio Salvador Delgado,

in the name of the Father, and of the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

Everything OK?

Everything's fine.

Good.

The best.

Come in.

Coming through, look out.

Excuse me, please.

R21, Charles.

Got a DBS, 14th and Vermont.

10-4.

- Welcome home. - Thank you.

I couldn't ask for anything better.

You know, I have a beautiful daughter-in-law,

a wonderful grandson, and my son is already a man.

It's been a long time, huh?

But you're here now.

We can start over.

Yes, we will.

I love you.

You see the baby?

Oh, yeah, he's beautiful.

God bless him.

Look at that.

He's all dressed up.

Oh, yeah, he's looking good, you know?

He's looking good.

I like that.

You don't have the belly there, huh?

No.

Hey, look, I...

I'm sorry I didn't come to see you.

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on.

I mean, you know, forget about it, believe me, you know?

A boy like you got better things to do than picnicking

in the prison courtyard, right?

Will you let the kids have their party?

Hey, let us have a moment.

Take care, all right?

You've got... you've got a bodyguard now, Papa?

Paco, he's my driver.

Takes good care of me.

Yeah?

Let's find a nice place where we can talk, huh?

Yeah, we got lots to talk about!

Man.

I can't believe you, yeah?

I got... I got a lot of things I want to say, you know?

Well, me too.

OK, well, come on. Let's sit down.

Let's do it here, you know? - I'll go first.

No, no, no, no. I go first.

Just have a seat.

Have a seat a second.

You know, 12 years in my life, I spent in prison, right?

12 years.

You know, I missed my son growing up.

I missed his wedding.

I missed the birth of my grandson.

I missed you, you know?

I missed you too, Carlos.

OK, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Let me finish.

Go ahead.

You know, I've been thinking, you know,

I mean, it's time for our family to have a decent life,

you know?

I want the family free and clear of all this violence.

I agree with you.

And to have a decent life, there are

things to do while you're home.

There is money to be made.

There is business to be taken...

No, no, no, no, no.

No?

There is to need no more business.

What you mean no more business?

You don't know what's been happening on these streets.

Life is just a little bit more expensive, even more precious.

Now I have taken care of this family for a very long time.

I will continue to do so.

Times have changed.

Therefore, I have entered into a business arrangement

with the Flyers.

What are you saying?

They killed my brother, your son.

I avenged his death and I paid for it

with 12 years of my life.

Water under the bridge.

You did your time.

I suffered along with you.

Now for our family to have power and respect,

it became time to unify.

Therefore, we move on.

Look, I don't want no business with the Flyers or any of his

or any of these business dealings, man.

I'm out, you understand that? I'm out!

Yeah.

Want to see me, Captain?

Yeah.

Lopez has new information on that DB that Molenski found.

What bothers us is that the chemical he was using

is something we haven't seen out there before.

There were two more DBS brought in today that

used the same chemical, both from the Royal

Street Park area, both DOA.

And not the usual ODs, either.

One of the victims had a pretty small dose.

That's why we turned it over to Ossie.

Could it be a variation on something you've seen before?

No.

We'll do a complete molecular breakdown, but at the moment

it appears to be totally unique.

You know, I'll tell you something.

If it's cheaper and faster to make,

somebody is going to escalate the drug wars

by just flooding the market.

Well, narcotics wants metro to get

the source of this thing.

I think that's your territory, Sergeant.

Yeah, OK, we can do that.

Lopez, you're the gang expert.

Who selling the dope around here?

Tough call.

Flyer territory, but they're the ones that are dying off.

- The Flyers? - Yeah.

That's good old Lester Smith.

How you doing?

11 ball, side pocket.

Raise it up.

Raise it up.

Raise it up.

Raise it up.

Raise it up.

Raise it up.

- Raise it up. - Feel it in the.

Lester?

See it in the streets.

Brothers with no money wearing Nikes on their feet.

Where are you?

They gratify the eyes.

So conscious, so just tell us what you buy.

Slaves of the, we do what they say.

We are...

How are you doing?

What I'm doing is pool.

Pool is what's happening.

You're a business man, right?

That's right.

You're also on the Flyers too.

It's my charisma.

Some guys just can't help but look up to them.

I see.

I came by to talk to you about drug

overdoses in your neighborhood.

You want to talk to me about it?

- Yeah. - Oh, man.

I want to talk to you about it.

I think it's outrageous and I want it stopped.

Yeah, look, Lester, I need to know who's making this stuff

and who's putting it out on the street.

Who's making it?

How should I know.

I told you, I'm in the pool business, not

the drug business.

Lester, you've been involved in every major dope

deal the Flyers have done in the last four years.

You pop me for dope one time and now you

think I'm in the drug cartel?

I told you, man, I'm in the pool business.

And right now, man, you bad for business.

I scream, you scream, everything's corrupt.

Wrong.

But now is the time.

OK, Lester.

Raise it up.

You know, Lester, I'm in business, too.

I'm in the people business.

And when they start to die, I get angry.

I get real angry.

So here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to bring in some of my friends down.

You know, the ones with flat feet.

We're going to play some pool in here.

We're going to play lots of pool in here.

Raise it up.

Raise it up.

Get off me, man.

Get off me.

Come on, get off his back.

Down the alley, down the alley, down the alley.

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

Yeah!

Did you see that?

Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey, man.

Hey, give me my cabbage.

I'm hungry.

Ha, ha, ha.

Hey!

Hey, Blade, what's happening, man?

The game ain't over.

All right, we going to choose up new sides.

Give me the ball. Give the ball.

I'm on this side, you on that side...

Rocking and rolling two, three days tops.

Forget it, man.

I'm pulling out of the deal.

What you talking about, man?

The stuff's almost all made up.

I've been hearing that for a long time.

Too long.

I want our money back. - Come on, man.

I know they've made a couple of bad batches, but...

Seven of our people died.

Hey, they promised they had all them problems worked out.

Except for one.

Hunter's starting to smell what we into and he's leaning on me.

One more day. One more day.

I ain't doing no more time, especially

for another gang, a gang we don't love

too much in case you forgot.

Come on, let me talk to him, man.

No talking.

We're out.

Just be sure when we get back our whole investment.

Cops paid a visit to Lester today.

He wants his money back.

Too late.

What about the investors?

Less has a list of money people.

Would be very upset to find out Lester pulled out.

This could hurt us in the future.

How do the rest of the Flyers feel about that?

Don't worry about them.

More important, how do you feel about it?

This is our chance to make a lot of money.

Let's do it.

And it seems like the only one that has a problem is Lester,

doesn't it?

Oh.

Hey, Lester.

Lester, my man, what's happening?

Blade, you got our investment back?

Yeah.

I've got it right here.

Hey, Blade.

This is starting to feel like harassment.

Yeah, well you know me, I'm here to protect and serve.

Is that so?

Who killed Lester Smith?

How would I know that?

Because you know everything that goes on down here.

I don't know who killed Lester.

How you and the Pollo Locos getting along.

We aren't. Never have, never will.

You know that.

So Lester killed himself?

The Pollo Locos would not have, um, how you say, the huevos

to do in my man, Lester.

OK, Blade.

Take care of your neighborhood or I'll be back.

You don't want that.

Carlos.

Rick, what's up?

Hey, listen, I didn't mean to bother you at your work.

I just want to talk to you for a minute.

Lester Smith was killed last night.

Who's Lester Smith?

He ran the Flyers.

Really?

Why are you telling me this?

Safe to say his own gang members didn't kill him.

Ah, so you think that's going to lead

to some gang war or something?

Yeah, it could.

What can I do?

I want you to talk to your family for me.

See if there's anything going on between the two gangs.

Look, Carlos, I don't want to put you on the spot.

I do want your help.

I want you to want to help me.

Don't do it because you owe me.

I'll see who's involved.

Good.

Appreciate it.

Smells good in here, huh?

I come over every night for my daughter and the baby.

Sometimes she goes out with her husband and his friend, Tommy.

Does Tommy live here with them?

No, no.

Tommy lived across the park.

But they was always together.

My Jimmy, Martin, and Tommy...

Oh, god!

Where's your grandfather?

I don't know.

What's wrong?

What do you know about this business with the Flyers?

We'd be in business with them now.

Who killed Lester Smith?

I don't know who killed him.

Ah, come on, Tomas, man.

You can talk to me.

I saw you and grandpa argue about the Flyers.

I mean, Tomas, you know, I just lost 12 years of my life

for killing a Flyer.

Grandpa says you don't want to be

a Pollo Loco no more because of the business with the Flyers.

Look, I'm never going to agree to that.

You know, Tomas, being in prison made

me think about life, you know, what it means

and what I want from it.

You know, for you, Maria, and Hector and me, you know,

want peace in our lives.

I've waited a long time for you

to come home so we could be side by side, and you were my hero.

Grandpa used to say you wait until Carlos comes out,

and then we'll be strong.

My father's wrong, OK?

We are strong.

Prison has killed you, man.

I have no father!

Maria.

I can't talk, please.

- Where is he going? - I don't know.

He doesn't tell me.

It's about the dope, isn't it, Maria?

I don't know, Carlos.

Well, you better start knowing, sweetheart, if you're

going to save your family.

I need to add another filtering system

to cut down on impurities.

How long?

- Two, three days. - Too long.

I'll give you one day.

Look, we need another day so we know

the product is top quality.

Mm-mm, one day max like he said.

We've got to get this stuff out and done with.

We've got the cops breathing down our backs.

Here, let me show you how far I've progressed.

Carlos.

This is it, huh?

The Flyers and the Pollo Locos?

Who's this?

My son, Carlos.

Let me guess, we got the smarts, they got the what?

Money, distribution?

What kind of poison we cooking here today.

Maybe we should talk about this...

No more talking!

You do whatever you want with that low life.

I'm taking my son out of here.

Let's go.

I'm staying here.

Tomas, let's go!

This is no longer your concern.

He makes his own decisions.

I'll take care of this.

Carlos, I know how you feel, but we have a chance to make money.

A lot of money.

I don't care about the money.

I want Tomas out of this.

He makes his own decisions.

He'll listen to you.

You tell him you want him out.

I can't do that.

All this is is business.

We ain't finished with this.

We've isolated and identified the essential chemical...

Basically with a few additives, you can

turn it into synthetic heroin.

Ain't science wonderful.

What are they going to think of next?

It's not an easy ingredient to get.

The buyer has to have a state regulated license and signed

for even a small supply.

Manufacturers keep extremely accurate records

to maintain their license.

You know, Charlie, Lester Smith's death

has to be tied to these two dead bodies somehow.

Maybe a power struggle in the gang?

Well, maybe so, but where do the Pollo Locos fit in?

Maybe they don't

Yeah, come in.

Sergeant Hunter, there's a call for you on your private line.

Yeah, I better take this.

Excuse me.

Sergeant Hunter?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Ernesto, I want you to know how sorry

I am for you and your family.

If there's anything I can do, you know I will.

I appreciate that and thank you very much.

Carlos was killed suddenly for no apparent reason.

Anything going on between you and the Flyers?

I don't think the Flyers have anything to do with it.

Somebody killed him.

You must have an idea who it was.

It's really not the time for it.

With all due respect, Ernesto, first Lester Smith and now

Carlos.

Something is going on between the Pollo Locos and the Flyers.

I know.

I just hope that you are mistaken.

I can help.

Tomas, I'm very sorry about your father.

114 to R20 Charles.

114 to R20 Charles.

R20 Charles, go.

Four William 30 wants to meet you at the old red line tunnel.

There's a stolen vehicle he thinks

you might want to look at.

Tell him I'm on my way.

Tomas, the car is waiting.

Come on.

Did you know that the Flyers would kill my father?

You did, didn't you?

You did.

I saw him at the warehouse.

If Blade killed my father, he's going to pay for it.

All we had with the Flyers was a business arrangement.

If they had killed your father, don't you think I

wouldn't do something about it?

Don't you care that your family's dying?

First, my uncle, and then my father?

Life is about honor and respect.

Your father was a hothead, but I loved him.

Look, you barely mourned and we're tearing at each other.

All I want in life is to be different for you

than it was for me.

I want it to be easy.

Is that so bad?

What is it you want?

I... I don't know.

I don't know what I want anymore.

Henry, what's up?

Hey, Sarge.

Well, this was abandoned last night.

It's been on a hot sheet for four nights.

It was taken from a convenience morgue near Flyer territory.

Any fingerprints?

Lots of them.

We're taking them now, and that's not all.

I thought you'd be interested in this.

What the hell was that thing?

I don't know.

Let's run it by narcotics to see if it has anything to do

with the synthetic heroin. - All right.

Right away.

Good, Henry.

Keep me posted on all these fingerprints, will you?

You got it.

Good work.

Not a friendly neighborhood is it, Alvaro.

Check it out.

Yeah, you got him working real good, ain't you, Professor?

Yeah.

So how much we got?

Oh, maybe $7, $8 million worth.

Is that so?

Mm-hmm.

Best stuff on the market.

Well, the only stuff...

Of its kind.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's good.

Real good.

Hi, Maria.

Oh, Sergeant, Tomas and his grandfather have gone out.

Well, that's OK.

I, uh... it's you I kind of wanted

to talk to if that's all right.

Me?

Yeah, I need to know what happened here in the house

the night Carlos was killed.

Maria, I saw your face getting into the limousine today

at the church.

There was a terrible fight here yesterday.

I've never seen Tomas so angry.

He cursed his father.

He shouted at me.

And Lester fought with Carlos too.

Really?

What was that about?

Tomas was very upset because Carlos wanted out of the gang.

Maria, are the Pollo Locos and Flyers doing business?

Nobody talks in front of me, but I can tell you this.

Never before have I seen the members of the Flyers

walk so openly along our streets.

Isn't it time you make some changes in your family, Maria?

Sergeant, I have lived among the Delgados my whole life.

Before I married Tomas, I used to go with him

to the prison to visit Carlos.

We used to have picnics in the prison yard.

The gang becomes your life.

I know it does, but is that any type of life

for you and Tomas?

I mean, come on, you've got little Hector now.

This has been very difficult for Tomas.

He loved his father so much.

His gang has a stranglehold on our house.

114 to R20 Charles, come in.

R20 Charles, go.

Meet Captain Devane on tac two.

Captain, what's up?

We've IDed the chemist.

His latest shipment went to a warehouse on Mateo and First.

We've got six units meeting you there in 45 minutes.

I'm on my way.

Looks like this guy was feeling no pain when he got it.

Yeah.

These two guys are Pollo Loco members, Charlie.

I guess that answers your question

about the gangs doing business.

Yeah.

Also why Carlos was murdered.

A classic double cross.

Yeah, also an all-out gang war.

Now listen up, everybody, we've got some problems.

The Flyers... they ripped us off.

Blade... he began double-crossing us

right from the very beginning.

So what are we sitting around for?

I say we hit them.

Be smart, huh, Paco?

Now the cops know where the warehouse is.

They'll be on us if we should make a move now, right?

So what do we do?

Let the Flyers make punks out of us?

We lie low.

We gather weapons.

We take them... we take them when they least expect it.

Now Blade... this guy, Blade, thinks he's too big for us.

We're going to prove him wrong.

We hit him when the time's right.

- How long? - Two, three days.

Now listen up, all right?

Listen up.

Then we get our revenge.

Everybody, go on home.

Just be ready to move when I call, OK?

We should go after them tonight.

I say we kill them all.

Take it easy.

You'll live longer.

Blade killed my father.

I want him to pay with his blood.

He's all yours, OK, but only when I say so.

Now don't make yourself crazy in the head.

Going somewhere?

I've got things to do.

You tossed and turned all night.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Stop worrying.

You're my husband.

Of course I'm going to worry.

I know what's going on.

You're going to get yourself killed.

You don't know anything.

You think I don't have eyes and ears?

I know what's going on, and so do the police.

What are you talking about?

Sergeant Hunter was here and I told him about the Pollo

Locos and the Flyers.

What did you talk to him for?

He wants to help us.

He and your father were friends, Tomas, you must listen.

No more listening, Maria.

You are going to die!

And when you're dead, what's to stop

the Flyers from coming back here and killing me and your son?

Don't you think of us at all?

Don't we mean anything to you?

You don't understand.

What is there to understand?

This macho thing of yours... all it does is get people killed.

They killed my father.

I'm not going to let them get away with that.

Look, if you go, I won't be here when you get back.

I mean it, Tomas.

I won't have our son growing up like this.

Beaufort Fox, AKA Blade.

They found his prints all over the van, inside and out.

The lab guys also IDed the chemical.

It was in the back of the van.

It's the bonding agent for synthetic heroine.

There should be enough here to hold up in court, Charlie.

Plus the perfect motivation for this guy

to kill Lester Smith.

Yeah, you're right, Charlie.

Excuse me just a second.

Maria, what are you doing here?

Tomas left the house this morning with his gun.

Now where is he going?

He wants to avenge his father's murder.

I know. Where is he going?

He's going to kill Blade.

Come on.

Hey, hey, I've got to check you out.

Go on.

No, no, listen to me.

No, listen up.

This is what I'm saying.

No.

No, you got that wrong.

No, a lot of stuff..

What the hell are you talking about, man?

No, you listen to me.

No, no, don't worry about it.

Don't worry about.

No, no, I've got this situation locked down.

You just call me tomorrow and we'll have a meeting.

What, you think you can kill my father

and not have me come after you?

Hey, man, it was a business deal.

Your ol' man, he just got in the way.

Don't do it, Tomas.

It's none of your business.

Stay out of this!

If you shoot him, I'm going to have to shoot you.

Father died because of him.

That's right, he did.

He did die because of him.

Don't let this guy take your life.

I want you to think about your family.

I want you to think about Maria, Hector.

I want you to think about them right now.

Tomas, you want to go to prison the rest of your life

for killing this guy?

Your father wouldn't want this.

Think about your family.

So you're going to San Jose, huh?

Yeah.

We think that's the best thing for us to do now.

We're going to stay with my brother and his family

for a while.

Good.

You get settled.

Let me have your address.

I want to thank you for everything that you've

done for Tomas and for Hector.

You're welcome, Maria.

I want to thank you too, Sergeant Hunter.

I can see why you and my father were such good friends.

You're a good man, Tomas.

Come on, let's go.

OK, Hector, here's your mom.

Take care.
