(suspenseful music)
(Vic breathing heavy)
- The fuck!
(suspenseful music)
(Vic breathing heavy)
Come on.
Come on, gimme a break.
Come on,
come on.
(Vic breathing heavy)
Come on, come on.
You got this.
Oh fuck...
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
- [Speaker 1] Okay, I'll
be there catching the game.
Roll it up.
(suspenseful music)
- Where were you?
- What?
- [Driver] First day out?
- Yeah.
Sumter.
- Oh, baby rock.
- You?
- I was in the Feds,
seven calendars.
You just...
You remind me of,
you know, first day out.
How long were you in storage?
- 25.
- Whoa.
You had your shoes off?
- I had my pajamas on.
How was it for you?
- Ah, you know, I did good time.
No, 302s in my name.
- No, I mean, when you got out.
- Oh.
Well, yeah, I was scared.
We all are.
There are no excuses
when you're afraid.
(car indicator blinking)
You got people?
- I'm not sure.
- You got a door?
- I'll get a room at first.
- All right, well,
if you need a ride,
call me.
I'd say text me.
But that might take a week
or two for you to figure out.
- Thanks, man.
(footsteps approaching)
I appreciate what you did
for me when I was in there.
You helped me out.
- You need some money?
I got money.
- I've got money.
I just gotta go get it.
I hid it before I went away.
Hopefully it's still there.
It's been a long time.
- Gotta go get it?
Where?
What do you mean?
- At Buala's.
- Oh, that place.
You know, they sold it.
Why didn't you tell me?
- Well, the company I
was keeping at the time
would've loved to overhear that.
I just couldn't take a chance.
- Well, you know,
money disintegrates over time.
- It wasn't cash.
It was diamonds.
- Oh, smart.
Yeah.
What did you do?
Buy them before you went away?
- It was payment from when
I was down in Columbia.
I just figured,
I hid it in one of the walls in a closet.
- From what I know,
the guy that bought it
turned it into an Airbnb.
- What's that?
- That's where people rent out
their house like hotel rooms.
- People let strangers
sleep in their beds?
- Weird, isn't it?
- You know any jeweler?
Somebody that can buy large?
- Yeah, I know someone.
He's a Brooklyn guy.
He's like a half a fence.
- Good.
This Airbnb, you help me out with that?
You get me in there?
- Yeah, I can get you in there.
(birds chirping)
- What's that for?
- To talk to you.
- Just talk?
I'm not a hooker.
- No offense.
- What would you like to talk about?
- Russians in Miami.
- What about them?
They have a magic carpet to come here.
Why is that?
- Hmm, sounds personal.
- When you're sitting next to an old lady
who had her teeth knocked out
by the butt of a rifle in Cuba.
- They want to turn Miami back 30 years.
We worked our asses off.
Moved all that violence over to Mexico.
- It's Miami.
There's always gonna be someone.
- That's why I'm here.
- [Felix] Oh, yeah?
Why are you here?
- The Russians and their Cuban cousins.
We need to get 'em outta here.
- Talk clear.
- They're gonna push a wave of death
from here to the West Coast.
Fentanyl.
- What we did,
cocaine was a party drug.
This drug is for the (indistinct).
- Heard your friend Vic got out.
- Why are you here?
- Russians and the Cuban
cousins need to be stopped.
- Then stop them.
You're the United States government.
- I don't wanna be dealing with lawyers.
- Quit fucking around.
- We wanna wipe 'em out.
- Wipe them out.
Drop a bomb on Biscayne Boulevard.
- What would you do if
you had carte blanche
from the government?
- I wouldn't trust it.
- No.
What would you do?
You, Felix Teledon.
What would you do?
I have three words for you.
Bank of America.
- I have three words for you,
Bay of Pigs.
- What if we just make
believe for a minute?
Believe for a minute, can we just-
- Listen, get Vic, get Bano,
hitters from the old guard.
My guys were the fucking knight.
- You were the architect.
- Put your hands out of my pants.
- Government took all your money.
Wouldn't it be nice to-
- You're talking like if
this happened yesterday,
those guys are probably
looking for their teeth.
- Castro's people, here now.
Wouldn't you like to turn
their lives upside down?
- You are the evil one.
The siren at sea.
(door slams)
- You look good.
You don't have that
question mark on your face
that you did before.
- You know what they say?
It's like a bicycle, right?
- No, that's not a bicycle.
It's a rollercoaster.
So where are you headed?
- I got an Airbnb.
- I understood that.
Now you're sleeping, bed and stuff.
And whatnot.
- That's what I said.
- Yeah, where we...
Where we were,
you have your own like a sanctuary.
- That's what I want.
I wanna get my own place.
I wanna get a brand new bed.
- It might take a minute
to get used to the privacy.
That's...
- Well, that's a problem I want.
- You working again?
I could get you a piece of work.
Oh, any party favors,
guns, stuff like that?
- Nah, I'm good.
- [Driver] For protection for the house.
- I'm fine.
Please, please, please,
please, please, please, please.
(Vic exhaling)
(Vic gasps)
(Vic laughs)
(upbeat rock music)
(flamengos quacking)
- Vic.
You look good.
- This place.
This was all corn fields before.
- But the corn turned to gold.
- Anybody speak English
around here anymore?
- Why should they?
We put the politicians in.
We built the schools.
- Where the money come from?
- Sweat equity.
People like us.
- Where's mine?
- If I had it,
you would too.
There's someone you should meet.
(mellow music)
- Thanks for meeting with me.
- What's this about?
- Putting you back on the streets.
- You know, I just got
outta dry storage, right?
- Felix told me all about you.
- For what?
- We need a guy in Miami.
Hey, we're done playing
whack-a-mole, okay?
We want to get rid of the Russians
and anybody else who even thinks
about planting a flag here.
- And you are who?
- Three letter agency reporting
directly to the Pentagon.
- Right.
So I go out,
take care of the dirty work.
You get the credit.
I get paraded around like El Chapo.
- It's not like that, man.
We haven't...
You know, we didn't think
of the strategy today.
Jimmy Hoffa ring a bell?
- Oh yeah, you killed him too, right?
- He lived like a king in
Aruba till the age of 92
when he passed away.
We can make people dead or alive.
We're the Wizard of Oz.
You wanna be on the winning team.
- No, I actually never
wanna see your face again.
- You on the street with our resources?
Think about it.
- I've had plenty of time
to think about stuff.
You clean up your own mess.
I need somebody who can
handle high end items.
- [David] I'm backed by the Russians.
You know how they are.
A soldier bought his wife a ring,
if you're looking for discretion.
I care where things come from.
Cut, rough, loose?
- Loose, cut, large.
- Wonderful.
How many you got?
- [Vic] Let's start with this.
Take a look at this.
- Okay, lemme see
what we got here.
This is what you got?
Mm hmm.
How much you looking to get?
- 40 each.
- Can you do 30?
- I know what I got here.
- I know you do.
I'd like to make a little money too.
Is that okay?
- Let's go a 100 for three.
- Bring me everything you got.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(Vic exhales)
(dramatic music)
- I thought if I ever saw you again,
I might not recognize you.
How did you know I lived here?
- I didn't, I just
thought I'd come by to see
if your mom was still alive.
- Mom's gone.
- Sorry.
- When did you come back?
- It's been a few days.
You know, after a while,
you get settled in the-
- I'm sorry.
- Why, what are you sorry for?
- I should have visited you.
- It's okay.
Really.
You know, to tell you the truth,
after so many years,
it gets awkward.
You know, what am I gonna do?
Tell you about how my
life is saved every day?
And then you're gonna tell me
how your life evolved
knowing that mine didn't.
And you're gonna feel bad, well-
- Still.
- It's okay.
Where's your husband?
- Ex.
Fort Lauderdale.
- Kids?
- No.
He wanted them.
So that didn't help things.
So he found a stewardess to the job.
He didn't wait to divorce me though.
Why am I telling you all this?
- Because I asked.
- What happened, Vic?
I never found out.
I mean, how did you...
How did you get caught?
- I got shot
and I couldn't run.
If I could've ran,
they would've never caught me.
- All this time.
and then they humble you?
Jesus.
(girlfriend laughs)
- Truth doesn't have to be humble.
What?
- You always add that thing like a force.
People are gonna be scared of you now.
It's like that toxic masculinity.
- You look good.
(ex girlfriend chuckles)
- Good?
- Oh my god.
You know that I haven't
had a home cooked meal
in over 25 years.
Bye, perfect.
Go easy on me.
(Vic and girlfriend laugh)
(water running)
(Vic exhales)
- How many of these do you have?
- I got enough.
- You don't have to piece these out.
I can handle a lot like this.
- In time.
- They're beautiful.
All the same.
Where'd you find these anyways?
- I pitched eggs in a basket and won 'em.
- [David] Yeah.
You're a funny guy.
(waves crashing)
- So, how do you like Miami?
- It's even better than I dreamed.
You know, I woke up today
excited for the first time.
- Mm hmm,
you're grateful,
that's good.
It's the fastest way to happy.
- Yeah, I had all these
things I wanted to do.
Had it all planned out.
Over the years,
it would just change.
Now?
I wanna travel.
- Where do you wanna go?
- I don't know.
I don't want to go alone.
Where would you want to go?
- Don't you wanna...
Don't you wanna date?
I mean, see what's out there?
- The grass isn't greener than you.
- Yeah, well, life is crazy for us.
- And I've had my fill of crazy.
- You know, when you went away,
these guys that just started to...
They searched the house
and they started following me for a while.
- Did you recognize any of 'em?
- One looked familiar.
He was with Caesar.
- Hmm.
They were supposed to
come and bring you money
and look out for you.
- Yeah, could you have told on them?
- Maybe they thought so.
But that's the past and
that's why I'm leaving it.
- You know, I thought of
you from time to time.
- Yeah, what?
When you got mad at him?
- Yeah.
(Vic chuckles)
Yep.
- I thought of you.
I didn't want to.
I would think about what could have been,
what you were doing.
- You think you would've...
You think you would've stopped
if the cops didn't stop you?
- I had a plan, you know?
But you know how that is.
That life,
you're waiting for that load to come in,
it's never on time.
So you start borrowing money,
people around you quit their jobs
and just waiting for
you to make that money.
It's all pressure, pressure, pressure.
And then when it gets there...
- Hmm.
Remember the time when you drove up
and the car looked like a pyramid?
- Wow, yeah.
- Ah,
you lied to me.
You told me you rear
ended someone by accident.
- So what really happened is
I split a light pole in half.
I stuffed two kilos in
and I took off running.
- The cops were chasing you?
- No.
Thieves.
- No more lies, okay?
So now what do you wanna do?
- Now, I just wanna bite you all over.
- [Girlfriend] Vic.
Vic.
- Look-
- Seriously.
- I've got all the money I
need to do whatever I want.
I just wanna be with you.
(car engine roaring)
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(heavy thuds)
(Vic grunts)
- Gimme the rest of the diamonds
or he is gonna blow her head fucking off.
(dramatic music)
- Okay.
- You need a doctor.
- I'm okay.
I've been worse.
It's supposed to get easier, Felix.
- That's the curse of age.
- Should we take the offer?
- You gotta ask yourself,
"Do I still have the balls?"
For me,
I've never had the money.
- It's not about balls.
It's about...
It's about all the mistakes I made
and making somebody else pay for 'em.
- We gave up virtue a long time ago.
- Baby, virtue never paid the rent.
(suspenseful music)
- How's it going?
- It's a whole new world.
Heard you retired.
- Yep.
- Did you get your
satisfaction outta that?
- Huh, they don't make
crime like they used to.
You guys really kept us on our toes.
No hard feelings
- That night ended because of me.
Not you.
- They wanted me to let you bleed out.
- Still patting yourself
on the back for that?
- Are we going to have a problem?
- No.
Long as you don't second guess me.
- We can work together.
- Hey.
- Take one of these?
- Hell no.
I wanna get to where I'm going.
- I have all kinds of stuff to do.
- Yeah, like get seasick.
dysentery.
So you connect with him?
- He's the same like a block of ice.
- What's he into?
- Taking out the Russians and taking over.
- Goddamn, that boy's ambitious.
He's a code six deluxe.
- He would've made a hell of a cop.
- I think he goes to prison either way.
Be careful
- With what?
- There's a thin blue
line between us and them.
(girlfriend clears throat)
- I'm sorry.
- So am I.
But you can't be in my life.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I have no time for your kind of life.
- It's not my life anymore.
- Listen, the worst thing you
can do is to lie to yourself.
You're a beautiful man.
You're always gonna be,
but you are always gonna
be a lion in a jungle.
You're never gonna eat fruit.
I can't watch it happen.
- How is she, Vic?
Yeah, well, you know,
they like the bad boys
until things go bad.
(crickets chirping)
- I needed her.
- You'll find somebody else.
There's a ton of women out there
that want to be with a real man.
- I didn't have to interview with her.
- Look, you get a nice Cuban girl
right off the boat with a big fat ass.
I promise you.
She'll cook for you and she'll
polish you up real good.
(crickets chirping)
- You know, we worked so hard in there
to make the best of things
until we could get out.
We'd take care of each other.
We'd watch each other's back.
I didn't feel lonely in there.
I feel lonely out here.
I feel like an alien.
- It takes time, Vic.
I promise you that.
You're thinking way too much.
You wanna be a dog like
right here, right now.
- Do you believe in destiny?
- No, absolutely not.
You're not a (indistinct),
you're the master of your future.
You are the one that chooses
the kings and the pawns.
- I love you.
- Hey, what's not to love?
(rain pouring)
- You've been having a good time.
- Yeah.
- 15Gs, two hours.
- $15,000?
- Yeah, in two hours.
I think that's a record.
- Something that you think
you should be proud of.
It's not a competition.
You are such a...
Oh.
- Dad, chill, okay?
- You pulled a gun on the bouncer.
- Yeah, dad,
he was a fucking narc.
What do you expect?
I spent 15 grand in there.
He is getting all up in my face like,
"You need to leave.
You're making too much of a..."
I'm like, "What the fuck, bro?"
- Are you...
What is that?
Bob Dylan?
- Dillinger.
Dillinger.
- I...
I don't fucking care.
I don't...
I don't care, fuck this.
- Dad, I don't see why
you're so off about this.
I mean, if anything,
this shows you exactly
what needs to happen next.
I go to some piece of shit club.
I'm the problem.
Maybe it's time for my club.
I can't be the problem
in my own club, right?
- You have to learn this business.
- I have learned the business.
What do you think I'm doing here?
- You...
You are ungrateful but
pick a location.
We'll try.
- That's why you're the goat, dad.
Oh my God.
- That's why I'm the goat.
- It's a good thing.
- What happened?
- I got robbed.
- You're fucking shitting me.
What did they get?
- Those guns,
tell me.
- Do you know where to find them?
- I'm gonna find them.
- [Vic] You want some work?
- You know I do.
- [Vic] You be my wheels on this.
You got a hammer?
- I got a nine.
I got a fucking full auto.
I got a wheel canon.
You hit 'em in the thumb,
they'll spin.
- What'd you go away for?
- You're gonna qualify me now?
- I want to know.
- I hurt somebody's feelings.
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(suspenseful music)
(gun cocks)
(suspenseful music)
- He said something to me about being
backed by the Russians.
- Yeah, he said that to me too.
He just uses that to scare people.
- And these Russians,
you know anything about them?
- I know they stand down in Windward.
I know there's this guy named Markov.
He owns a few bars down there.
I heard his kid stabbed a club owner.
And there's a lot of people down there
that want to cut his hole wide open.
Where's Wynwood?
- Used to be in Little San Juan.
And I hate to say this, Vic,
but they moved in on your people.
- Well, I'm back home now.
(crickets chirping)
This used to be little Puerto Rico,
they tattooed all these walls.
- Yeah, well, all the nightlife
and restaurants moved over here.
It's a good place to be
if you're getting a problem though.
- Why is that?
- Parking on both sides.
Long as there's not too much traffic,
you can get lost pretty easy.
You plan on throwing shots?
- I'll leave that up to them.
- I'll tell you what?
Call me and leave your
phone on when you go in.
- What for?
- So that I know if you get hurt.
I'll come and get you.
I don't leave my people behind.
- Bravo.
(door opens)
- Hey.
- Can I help you?
- Looking for David, the jeweler.
You know what I'm talking about?
- Nope.
- Guy that runs with the Russians,
he hangs out here.
- Yeah, we're surrounded by Russians,
but I don't know no fucking David.
Yeah, a lot of people hang out here, bro.
Not you.
I'm sorry, pops,
I got no idea who you're talking about.
- David with the diamonds.
You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Diamonds.
- Not a clue, buddy.
But listen,
I hear that Hooters is
doing senior discount today.
It's down the block.
Someone like you, right?
Grandpa?
- Hey, fuckboy.
Check your fucking attitude, you kid.
- Why don't you just fuck right off
before I make you?
- [Vic] Oh.
- Well, you want to see
a fucking attitude, huh?
- Don't.
(Alexei's son grunts)
(gun fires)
- I heard what that fucking kid said.
I wanted to go inside and
shoot him in the face.
- So what they do now?
They just start talking
shit and pulling guns?
- They all think they're
in a fucking video game.
Bad part is now you've
woken up the Russian bear.
- I'll turn that place
into a fucking parking lot.
I'm the one they woke up.
(dramatic music)
(waves crashing)
(dramatic music)
- None of what I did as a
cop made any difference.
When everything moved over to Mexico,
the department turned their back on me.
The new commanders thought
that we were dirty.
Oh, I could have used some
of that sunshine money.
I stayed clean
and ended up with nothing,
but an expiration date.
The doctors give me six months.
(Vic exhales)
- And I lost 25 years of my life.
- You knew what you were getting into.
None of us are getting any pity.
- I'm not looking for pity.
I just want what was promised to me.
What are you looking to get?
- Money while I'm still strong.
I've got good radar
and I could shoot at the drop of a hat.
- I didn't look for trouble.
They brought it to me.
- You're tuned to take over here.
- Take over what?
Everything's...
That was long time ago.
It's all long gone.
- Well, all of their
rackets without the poison.
- I can't rewind that clock.
I don't even know where anyone is.
- Caesar is in Cuba.
- How do you know?
- I know,
he was the one that got away.
- What's in Cuba?
- Cubans?
Protection?
- Cuba?
I don't know.
(door creaks)
- Oh, hi.
- Hi, I'm Vic.
- Uh...
Hi, Vic.
How you doing?
- I'm good.
Don dropped me off here.
He'll be back in a little while.
He's gonna come back.
- Oh, okay.
Well, how do you know him?
- Actually, he locked
me up a long time ago.
- What do you want?
- I don't want anything.
He does.
We might do something together.
- [Don's Wife] Oh, like what?
- It's probably...
He'd probably be the one
that wants to tell you.
- Well, he tells me everything
and if he doesn't get here soon,
I'm gonna be late for
my doctor's appointment.
- Well, if he doesn't get back here soon,
I'll take you if you don't mind.
- If he doesn't get here soon,
you're gonna have to tell me
what he's getting us into.
- [Announcer] Dr. Bigard,
pediatrics, please.
Dr. Bigard?
- How can you be okay with it?
- What did he actually do?
You know,
he didn't catch me.
He found me, you know.
He got a lot of credit for it too.
I had a gut shot.
It's not like I was going anywhere.
- [Announcer] Telephone, please.
Mrs. O'Brian?
- If I could have,
he would've never caught me.
I'd have been in Medellin by the morning.
- Really?
- I mean,
yeah.
I mean, he basically saved my life.
He's the one that called
the ambulance for me.
Those other cops wanted me to bleed out.
So he didn't keep any
real estate in my head.
- 25 years,
and they didn't offer you a deal to talk?
- You say that like it's an option.
- I mean, 25 years,
and you didn't even think about it?
- I'm no man of steel but
I know what they do.
Who's first, my friends?
My family?
Yeah, I've thought about it.
- Mrs. O'Brian?
- So you did their work?
- I'm not gonna be seeing heaven,
that's for sure.
- Do we trust cops and feds now?
- Trust has always been
about options, my friend.
- You have options?
- I have options?
I can't even get a job at a toll booth.
- No toll booth anymore.
- How about that.
You know, I'm gonna be lucky
if I get a good 10 years outta my life.
Most of my life has been on hold.
I get out and everything has jumped.
Cars start at 40 grand.
Shithole apartments are 1500.
People used to fast for religion,
they're doing it now
to pay their electric.
And you know something crazy?
They're not making much
more than when I left.
- Hmm.
We used to be motivated by luxury.
Now we're motivated by fear.
People are afraid to lose
the little that they have.
- I'm putting my balls up as collateral.
If I can't get a good few years of life,
I know how to live good in hell.
(waves crashing)
- You okay?
You need to sit down?
- No, I'm okay.
- There's gotta be a way to fix that.
- I don't know.
- That's the hard way, I guess, right?
Just staying positive.
That's the thing.
Keep pushing forward.
- I mean, why do you care?
- I'm not all bullets and money, you know.
- Let's get a room.
- You need to lie down?
- No, I need sex.
Like I'm not all bullets and money.
(Vic chuckles)
(waves crashing)
- This sure is turning into fuck soup.
- What are they telling you?
- I tell them all we see
are bodies washing up.
- If I don't make it out of this,
you need to look out for my kid.
- Just remember who you are
and you'll walk away clean.
- And if I don't?
- Something happens in the line of duty,
she'll be taken care of.
(Don's wife breathing heavy)
- Oh God.
- [Vic] What is it?
There's plenty of air.
- I can't.
I can't.
- [Vic] What...
What is it?
Is it the MS?
Claustrophobia?
I have that.
They've locked me in cages
where I couldn't even scratch my nose.
- What do I do?
- You gotta make it tighter.
You have to create the
walls tighter around you
'cause they're all going
to collapse eventually.
And when they do,
the original walls will be much bigger.
There'll be plenty of air.
(Don's wife breathing heavy)
(dramatic music)
- Oh, gracias, amigo.
Hey, did you notice, by the way?
No cops came.
- Yeah.
That's by design.
- How so?
- Their MDTs are hacked.
Somebody calls the cops and
the address gets changed.
- Who are you?
- I am just an ex con with
friends in low places.
- Could those friends
hack a security camera?
- Probably.
- Do you know what we can do with it?
- We're doing it.
- We could rob a bank.
- Hmm.
(dramatic music)
(car passing by)
(guns firing)
(dramatic music)
(gun firing)
(dramatic music)
(tires screeching)
Why?
- [Driver] Hotshot, motherfuckers.
They all want to be fucking heroes.
They came out of everywhere.
What do you think?
- Over a million.
- How did you know that
much was gonna be there?
- I didn't.
My gut just told me, "Go there."
- Don't leave me in the dark.
I deserve to know who I
need to be looking out for.
- All can tell you is this.
We're the good guys.
They don't even know about you.
- Well, that's enough for me.
Dude, this is my stop.
I...
I got used to being behind the eight ball,
I figured I'd just fucking die
in a welfare bed somewhere.
This...
This is good enough for me.
- Go.
Go find a good woman and listen to her.
- Why don't you?
- You know when I was inside,
I used to dream I was driving a car.
Gives me a sick feeling.
All those years I worked so hard
to do good time with
good people, you know?
And now I'm out and it's like...
Like it didn't happen.
It's like I was dead.
Can you find someone that
doesn't want to be found?
- Oh yeah.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(phone ringing)
- [Speaker 2] Hey, it's me.
That guy you're looking for
is down in Marathon, Keys.
He turned on his phone
and got the location.
I don't have a street number,
but it's the corner
house on the north side
of Moondance street.
Text me when you want me to
turn off his phone and cameras.
Good luck.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
- I just heard something.
Check that out.
(suspenseful music)
(crickets chirping)
(heavy thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- [Vic] You are gonna die tonight.
- [David] It's not my fault.
They made me do it.
- [Vic] I'd respect
you more if you told me
to go fuck myself.
- [David] I'll fix it.
I can fix...
(gun fires)
(glass shatters)
(gun fires)
(David grunting)
Help me up.
- [Vic] You're not getting up.
- I can get you the diamonds.
- [Vic] Take 'em with you.
(gun fires)
(car engine buzzing)
(mellow music)
(mellow music)
(waves crashing)
- Calls are going out to active shootings.
Patrol is showing up to nothing.
- That's because he's
probably banging it out
on the other side of town.
- That's next level tactic.
- He's working some next level power.
- You're with him.
- Prove it.
Don't tell me what I'm doing.
- Sounds like you're
in way over your head.
- Huh, me?
You're the one chasing a ghost.
- Really?
That's the story you're sticking with?
No, no, no, no.
Look me in the eye.
This is the crossroad, Don.
No one's ever come back
from where you're going.
- I appreciate it.
- You work with me,
we eat the same.
(car music blaring)
- You created a vacuum.
Russians had territory
and deals made that.
- Fuck the Russians.
I don't care who picks their bones.
You wanna run with the ball?
- What do you mean?
- What, you want me to
start from the beginning?
Explain it all?
- Details.
You mean what?
Are you gonna put me in play?
- I'll get you a supplier.
You take over the business.
- And you?
- It's Disneyland for me now.

(Vic gasps)
- Fuck.
(suspenseful music)
(seagulls squawking)
(suspenseful music)
It was in his terms.
That's how he wanted it.
- What does that mean?
- It means he didn't want
to be weak around you.
He didn't wanna be sick.
- Why are you guys so
worried about that though?
That's part of life.
- We can't control it.
- Was he in pain?
- No, it was fast.
(slow mellow music)
(footsteps echoing)
I am Vic.
- What can you do for me, Vic?
- We used to have these rules
about going to meetings.
Now you don't bring guns.
You can always walk away
from a slap or an insult.
- So you're not armed?
- I'm either walking outta
here tonight or I'm not.
But I am done going back and
forth on the streets with you.
There's no point in talking
about what didn't have to be.
Many of you are gonna keep their words
or they're not.
My word is worth more than
me than any amount of money.
I just spent 25 years proving that.
(heavy thud)
(Vic exhales)
- All right.
Yes.
Let me sit here a moment.
I've been considering
your grenade going off
and ending this pain that I am feeling.
I've debated killing myself.
The debate that comes from
the people I care about
finding out
and the weakness that that implies.
But I...
I can avoid all of that
with your grenade.
- So be it.

- What's this, Vic?
- I don't know.
It's probably about 2 million in cash.
I want you to take this and hide it.
If you want to buy anything,
I want you to take it from here.
- Look, Vic,
I'll hide it for you,
but I'm not gonna spend any of your money.
- I've got like three more of these.
- You made a lifetime's
worth of money that fast?
You better quit while you're ahead.
- I love it here,
but this place just brings
out something in me.
- What are you gonna do?
- I am going to
go someplace where money buys happiness.
(door opens)
- [Don] It's done.
If you're getting this message,
I won't be meeting you.
I didn't make it out alive.
I left a bag in the trunk of your car.
It's for my daughter.
I trust that you will get it to her.
No matter what anyone says about me,
I loved serving this city,
but I have to take care of my own
because I can't count on anyone else to.
You're a good cop.
You can stand tall.
I try to.
(suspenseful music)
(door knocks)
(door creaks)

- Hi.
I am on my way.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)

- You thought I was dead, huh?
- I don't even remember you.
- Move.
- Drop it.
Drop it.

Come on,
come on.

Come on, come on.
You got this.
Oh fuck...
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
- [Speaker 1] Okay, I'll
be there catching the game.
Roll it up.
(suspenseful music)
- Where were you?
- What?
- [Driver] First day out?
- Yeah.
Sumter.
- Oh, baby rock.
- You?
- I was in the Feds,
seven calendars.
You just...
You remind me of,
you know, first day out.
How long were you in storage?
- 25.
- Whoa.
You had your shoes off?
- I had my pajamas on.
How was it for you?
- Ah, you know, I did good time.
No, 302s in my name.
- No, I mean, when you got out.
- Oh.
Well, yeah, I was scared.
We all are.
There are no excuses
when you're afraid.
(car indicator blinking)
You got people?
- I'm not sure.
- You got a door?
- I'll get a room at first.
- All right, well,
if you need a ride,
call me.
I'd say text me.
But that might take a week
or two for you to figure out.
- Thanks, man.
(footsteps approaching)
I appreciate what you did
for me when I was in there.
You helped me out.
- You need some money?
I got money.
- I've got money.
I just gotta go get it.
I hid it before I went away.
Hopefully it's still there.
It's been a long time.
- Gotta go get it?
Where?
What do you mean?
- At Buala's.
- Oh, that place.
You know, they sold it.
Why didn't you tell me?
- Well, the company I
was keeping at the time
would've loved to overhear that.
I just couldn't take a chance.
- Well, you know,
money disintegrates over time.
- It wasn't cash.
It was diamonds.
- Oh, smart.
Yeah.
What did you do?
Buy them before you went away?
- It was payment from when
I was down in Columbia.
I just figured,
I hid it in one of the walls in a closet.
- From what I know,
the guy that bought it
turned it into an Airbnb.
- What's that?
- That's where people rent out
their house like hotel rooms.
- People let strangers
sleep in their beds?
- Weird, isn't it?
- You know any jeweler?
Somebody that can buy large?
- Yeah, I know someone.
He's a Brooklyn guy.
He's like a half a fence.
- Good.
This Airbnb, you help me out with that?
You get me in there?
- Yeah, I can get you in there.
(birds chirping)
- What's that for?
- To talk to you.
- Just talk?
I'm not a hooker.
- No offense.
- What would you like to talk about?
- Russians in Miami.
- What about them?
They have a magic carpet to come here.
Why is that?
- Hmm, sounds personal.
- When you're sitting next to an old lady
who had her teeth knocked out
by the butt of a rifle in Cuba.
- They want to turn Miami back 30 years.
We worked our asses off.
Moved all that violence over to Mexico.
- It's Miami.
There's always gonna be someone.
- That's why I'm here.
- [Felix] Oh, yeah?
Why are you here?
- The Russians and their Cuban cousins.
We need to get 'em outta here.
- Talk clear.
- They're gonna push a wave of death
from here to the West Coast.
Fentanyl.
- What we did,
cocaine was a party drug.
This drug is for the (indistinct).
- Heard your friend Vic got out.
- Why are you here?
- Russians and the Cuban
cousins need to be stopped.
- Then stop them.
You're the United States government.
- I don't wanna be dealing with lawyers.
- Quit fucking around.
- We wanna wipe 'em out.
- Wipe them out.
Drop a bomb on Biscayne Boulevard.
- What would you do if
you had carte blanche
from the government?
- I wouldn't trust it.
- No.
What would you do?
You, Felix Teledon.
What would you do?
I have three words for you.
Bank of America.
- I have three words for you,
Bay of Pigs.
- What if we just make
believe for a minute?
Believe for a minute, can we just-
- Listen, get Vic, get Bano,
hitters from the old guard.
My guys were the fucking knight.
- You were the architect.
- Put your hands out of my pants.
- Government took all your money.
Wouldn't it be nice to-
- You're talking like if
this happened yesterday,
those guys are probably
looking for their teeth.
- Castro's people, here now.
Wouldn't you like to turn
their lives upside down?
- You are the evil one.
The siren at sea.
(door slams)
- You look good.
You don't have that
question mark on your face
that you did before.
- You know what they say?
It's like a bicycle, right?
- No, that's not a bicycle.
It's a rollercoaster.
So where are you headed?
- I got an Airbnb.
- I understood that.
Now you're sleeping, bed and stuff.
And whatnot.
- That's what I said.
- Yeah, where we...
Where we were,
you have your own like a sanctuary.
- That's what I want.
I wanna get my own place.
I wanna get a brand new bed.
- It might take a minute
to get used to the privacy.
That's...
- Well, that's a problem I want.
- You working again?
I could get you a piece of work.
Oh, any party favors,
guns, stuff like that?
- Nah, I'm good.
- [Driver] For protection for the house.
- I'm fine.
Please, please, please,
please, please, please, please.
(Vic exhaling)
(Vic gasps)
(Vic laughs)
(upbeat rock music)
(flamengos quacking)
- Vic.
You look good.
- This place.
This was all corn fields before.
- But the corn turned to gold.
- Anybody speak English
around here anymore?
- Why should they?
We put the politicians in.
We built the schools.
- Where the money come from?
- Sweat equity.
People like us.
- Where's mine?
- If I had it,
you would too.
There's someone you should meet.
(mellow music)
- Thanks for meeting with me.
- What's this about?
- Putting you back on the streets.
- You know, I just got
outta dry storage, right?
- Felix told me all about you.
- For what?
- We need a guy in Miami.
Hey, we're done playing
whack-a-mole, okay?
We want to get rid of the Russians
and anybody else who even thinks
about planting a flag here.
- And you are who?
- Three letter agency reporting
directly to the Pentagon.
- Right.
So I go out,
take care of the dirty work.
You get the credit.
I get paraded around like El Chapo.
- It's not like that, man.
We haven't...
You know, we didn't think
of the strategy today.
Jimmy Hoffa ring a bell?
- Oh yeah, you killed him too, right?
- He lived like a king in
Aruba till the age of 92
when he passed away.
We can make people dead or alive.
We're the Wizard of Oz.
You wanna be on the winning team.
- No, I actually never
wanna see your face again.
- You on the street with our resources?
Think about it.
- I've had plenty of time
to think about stuff.
You clean up your own mess.
I need somebody who can
handle high end items.
- [David] I'm backed by the Russians.
You know how they are.
A soldier bought his wife a ring,
if you're looking for discretion.
I care where things come from.
Cut, rough, loose?
- Loose, cut, large.
- Wonderful.
How many you got?
- [Vic] Let's start with this.
Take a look at this.
- Okay, lemme see
what we got here.
This is what you got?
Mm hmm.
How much you looking to get?
- 40 each.
- Can you do 30?
- I know what I got here.
- I know you do.
I'd like to make a little money too.
Is that okay?
- Let's go a 100 for three.
- Bring me everything you got.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(Vic exhales)
(dramatic music)
- I thought if I ever saw you again,
I might not recognize you.
How did you know I lived here?
- I didn't, I just
thought I'd come by to see
if your mom was still alive.
- Mom's gone.
- Sorry.
- When did you come back?
- It's been a few days.
You know, after a while,
you get settled in the-
- I'm sorry.
- Why, what are you sorry for?
- I should have visited you.
- It's okay.
Really.
You know, to tell you the truth,
after so many years,
it gets awkward.
You know, what am I gonna do?
Tell you about how my
life is saved every day?
And then you're gonna tell me
how your life evolved
knowing that mine didn't.
And you're gonna feel bad, well-
- Still.
- It's okay.
Where's your husband?
- Ex.
Fort Lauderdale.
- Kids?
- No.
He wanted them.
So that didn't help things.
So he found a stewardess to the job.
He didn't wait to divorce me though.
Why am I telling you all this?
- Because I asked.
- What happened, Vic?
I never found out.
I mean, how did you...
How did you get caught?
- I got shot
and I couldn't run.
If I could've ran,
they would've never caught me.
- All this time.
and then they humble you?
Jesus.
(girlfriend laughs)
- Truth doesn't have to be humble.
What?
- You always add that thing like a force.
People are gonna be scared of you now.
It's like that toxic masculinity.
- You look good.
(ex girlfriend chuckles)
- Good?
- Oh my god.
You know that I haven't
had a home cooked meal
in over 25 years.
Bye, perfect.
Go easy on me.
(Vic and girlfriend laugh)
(water running)
(Vic exhales)
- How many of these do you have?
- I got enough.
- You don't have to piece these out.
I can handle a lot like this.
- In time.
- They're beautiful.
All the same.
Where'd you find these anyways?
- I pitched eggs in a basket and won 'em.
- [David] Yeah.
You're a funny guy.
(waves crashing)
- So, how do you like Miami?
- It's even better than I dreamed.
You know, I woke up today
excited for the first time.
- Mm hmm,
you're grateful,
that's good.
It's the fastest way to happy.
- Yeah, I had all these
things I wanted to do.
Had it all planned out.
Over the years,
it would just change.
Now?
I wanna travel.
- Where do you wanna go?
- I don't know.
I don't want to go alone.
Where would you want to go?
- Don't you wanna...
Don't you wanna date?
I mean, see what's out there?
- The grass isn't greener than you.
- Yeah, well, life is crazy for us.
- And I've had my fill of crazy.
- You know, when you went away,
these guys that just started to...
They searched the house
and they started following me for a while.
- Did you recognize any of 'em?
- One looked familiar.
He was with Caesar.
- Hmm.
They were supposed to
come and bring you money
and look out for you.
- Yeah, could you have told on them?
- Maybe they thought so.
But that's the past and
that's why I'm leaving it.
- You know, I thought of
you from time to time.
- Yeah, what?
When you got mad at him?
- Yeah.
(Vic chuckles)
Yep.
- I thought of you.
I didn't want to.
I would think about what could have been,
what you were doing.
- You think you would've...
You think you would've stopped
if the cops didn't stop you?
- I had a plan, you know?
But you know how that is.
That life,
you're waiting for that load to come in,
it's never on time.
So you start borrowing money,
people around you quit their jobs
and just waiting for
you to make that money.
It's all pressure, pressure, pressure.
And then when it gets there...
- Hmm.
Remember the time when you drove up
and the car looked like a pyramid?
- Wow, yeah.
- Ah,
you lied to me.
You told me you rear
ended someone by accident.
- So what really happened is
I split a light pole in half.
I stuffed two kilos in
and I took off running.
- The cops were chasing you?
- No.
Thieves.
- No more lies, okay?
So now what do you wanna do?
- Now, I just wanna bite you all over.
- [Girlfriend] Vic.
Vic.
- Look-
- Seriously.
- I've got all the money I
need to do whatever I want.
I just wanna be with you.
(car engine roaring)
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
(heavy thuds)
(Vic grunts)
- Gimme the rest of the diamonds
or he is gonna blow her head fucking off.
(dramatic music)
- Okay.
- You need a doctor.
- I'm okay.
I've been worse.
It's supposed to get easier, Felix.
- That's the curse of age.
- Should we take the offer?
- You gotta ask yourself,
"Do I still have the balls?"
For me,
I've never had the money.
- It's not about balls.
It's about...
It's about all the mistakes I made
and making somebody else pay for 'em.
- We gave up virtue a long time ago.
- Baby, virtue never paid the rent.
(suspenseful music)
- How's it going?
- It's a whole new world.
Heard you retired.
- Yep.
- Did you get your
satisfaction outta that?
- Huh, they don't make
crime like they used to.
You guys really kept us on our toes.
No hard feelings
- That night ended because of me.
Not you.
- They wanted me to let you bleed out.
- Still patting yourself
on the back for that?
- Are we going to have a problem?
- No.
Long as you don't second guess me.
- We can work together.
- Hey.
- Take one of these?
- Hell no.
I wanna get to where I'm going.
- I have all kinds of stuff to do.
- Yeah, like get seasick.
dysentery.
So you connect with him?
- He's the same like a block of ice.
- What's he into?
- Taking out the Russians and taking over.
- Goddamn, that boy's ambitious.
He's a code six deluxe.
- He would've made a hell of a cop.
- I think he goes to prison either way.
Be careful
- With what?
- There's a thin blue
line between us and them.
(girlfriend clears throat)
- I'm sorry.
- So am I.
But you can't be in my life.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I have no time for your kind of life.
- It's not my life anymore.
- Listen, the worst thing you
can do is to lie to yourself.
You're a beautiful man.
You're always gonna be,
but you are always gonna
be a lion in a jungle.
You're never gonna eat fruit.
I can't watch it happen.
- How is she, Vic?
Yeah, well, you know,
they like the bad boys
until things go bad.
(crickets chirping)
- I needed her.
- You'll find somebody else.
There's a ton of women out there
that want to be with a real man.
- I didn't have to interview with her.
- Look, you get a nice Cuban girl
right off the boat with a big fat ass.
I promise you.
She'll cook for you and she'll
polish you up real good.
(crickets chirping)
- You know, we worked so hard in there
to make the best of things
until we could get out.
We'd take care of each other.
We'd watch each other's back.
I didn't feel lonely in there.
I feel lonely out here.
I feel like an alien.
- It takes time, Vic.
I promise you that.
You're thinking way too much.
You wanna be a dog like
right here, right now.
- Do you believe in destiny?
- No, absolutely not.
You're not a (indistinct),
you're the master of your future.
You are the one that chooses
the kings and the pawns.
- I love you.
- Hey, what's not to love?
(rain pouring)
- You've been having a good time.
- Yeah.
- 15Gs, two hours.
- $15,000?
- Yeah, in two hours.
I think that's a record.
- Something that you think
you should be proud of.
It's not a competition.
You are such a...
Oh.
- Dad, chill, okay?
- You pulled a gun on the bouncer.
- Yeah, dad,
he was a fucking narc.
What do you expect?
I spent 15 grand in there.
He is getting all up in my face like,
"You need to leave.
You're making too much of a..."
I'm like, "What the fuck, bro?"
- Are you...
What is that?
Bob Dylan?
- Dillinger.
Dillinger.
- I...
I don't fucking care.
I don't...
I don't care, fuck this.
- Dad, I don't see why
you're so off about this.
I mean, if anything,
this shows you exactly
what needs to happen next.
I go to some piece of shit club.
I'm the problem.
Maybe it's time for my club.
I can't be the problem
in my own club, right?
- You have to learn this business.
- I have learned the business.
What do you think I'm doing here?
- You...
You are ungrateful but
pick a location.
We'll try.
- That's why you're the goat, dad.
Oh my God.
- That's why I'm the goat.
- It's a good thing.
- What happened?
- I got robbed.
- You're fucking shitting me.
What did they get?
- Those guns,
tell me.
- Do you know where to find them?
- I'm gonna find them.
- [Vic] You want some work?
- You know I do.
- [Vic] You be my wheels on this.
You got a hammer?
- I got a nine.
I got a fucking full auto.
I got a wheel canon.
You hit 'em in the thumb,
they'll spin.
- What'd you go away for?
- You're gonna qualify me now?
- I want to know.
- I hurt somebody's feelings.
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps approaching)
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(suspenseful music)
(gun cocks)
(suspenseful music)
- He said something to me about being
backed by the Russians.
- Yeah, he said that to me too.
He just uses that to scare people.
- And these Russians,
you know anything about them?
- I know they stand down in Windward.
I know there's this guy named Markov.
He owns a few bars down there.
I heard his kid stabbed a club owner.
And there's a lot of people down there
that want to cut his hole wide open.
Where's Wynwood?
- Used to be in Little San Juan.
And I hate to say this, Vic,
but they moved in on your people.
- Well, I'm back home now.
(crickets chirping)
This used to be little Puerto Rico,
they tattooed all these walls.
- Yeah, well, all the nightlife
and restaurants moved over here.
It's a good place to be
if you're getting a problem though.
- Why is that?
- Parking on both sides.
Long as there's not too much traffic,
you can get lost pretty easy.
You plan on throwing shots?
- I'll leave that up to them.
- I'll tell you what?
Call me and leave your
phone on when you go in.
- What for?
- So that I know if you get hurt.
I'll come and get you.
I don't leave my people behind.
- Bravo.
(door opens)
- Hey.
- Can I help you?
- Looking for David, the jeweler.
You know what I'm talking about?
- Nope.
- Guy that runs with the Russians,
he hangs out here.
- Yeah, we're surrounded by Russians,
but I don't know no fucking David.
Yeah, a lot of people hang out here, bro.
Not you.
I'm sorry, pops,
I got no idea who you're talking about.
- David with the diamonds.
You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Diamonds.
- Not a clue, buddy.
But listen,
I hear that Hooters is
doing senior discount today.
It's down the block.
Someone like you, right?
Grandpa?
- Hey, fuckboy.
Check your fucking attitude, you kid.
- Why don't you just fuck right off
before I make you?
- [Vic] Oh.
- Well, you want to see
a fucking attitude, huh?
- Don't.
(Alexei's son grunts)
(gun fires)
- I heard what that fucking kid said.
I wanted to go inside and
shoot him in the face.
- So what they do now?
They just start talking
shit and pulling guns?
- They all think they're
in a fucking video game.
Bad part is now you've
woken up the Russian bear.
- I'll turn that place
into a fucking parking lot.
I'm the one they woke up.
(dramatic music)
(waves crashing)
(dramatic music)
- None of what I did as a
cop made any difference.
When everything moved over to Mexico,
the department turned their back on me.
The new commanders thought
that we were dirty.
Oh, I could have used some
of that sunshine money.
I stayed clean
and ended up with nothing,
but an expiration date.
The doctors give me six months.
(Vic exhales)
- And I lost 25 years of my life.
- You knew what you were getting into.
None of us are getting any pity.
- I'm not looking for pity.
I just want what was promised to me.
What are you looking to get?
- Money while I'm still strong.
I've got good radar
and I could shoot at the drop of a hat.
- I didn't look for trouble.
They brought it to me.
- You're tuned to take over here.
- Take over what?
Everything's...
That was long time ago.
It's all long gone.
- Well, all of their
rackets without the poison.
- I can't rewind that clock.
I don't even know where anyone is.
- Caesar is in Cuba.
- How do you know?
- I know,
he was the one that got away.
- What's in Cuba?
- Cubans?
Protection?
- Cuba?
I don't know.
(door creaks)
- Oh, hi.
- Hi, I'm Vic.
- Uh...
Hi, Vic.
How you doing?
- I'm good.
Don dropped me off here.
He'll be back in a little while.
He's gonna come back.
- Oh, okay.
Well, how do you know him?
- Actually, he locked
me up a long time ago.
- What do you want?
- I don't want anything.
He does.
We might do something together.
- [Don's Wife] Oh, like what?
- It's probably...
He'd probably be the one
that wants to tell you.
- Well, he tells me everything
and if he doesn't get here soon,
I'm gonna be late for
my doctor's appointment.
- Well, if he doesn't get back here soon,
I'll take you if you don't mind.
- If he doesn't get here soon,
you're gonna have to tell me
what he's getting us into.
- [Announcer] Dr. Bigard,
pediatrics, please.
Dr. Bigard?
- How can you be okay with it?
- What did he actually do?
You know,
he didn't catch me.
He found me, you know.
He got a lot of credit for it too.
I had a gut shot.
It's not like I was going anywhere.
- [Announcer] Telephone, please.
Mrs. O'Brian?
- If I could have,
he would've never caught me.
I'd have been in Medellin by the morning.
- Really?
- I mean,
yeah.
I mean, he basically saved my life.
He's the one that called
the ambulance for me.
Those other cops wanted me to bleed out.
So he didn't keep any
real estate in my head.
- 25 years,
and they didn't offer you a deal to talk?
- You say that like it's an option.
- I mean, 25 years,
and you didn't even think about it?
- I'm no man of steel but
I know what they do.
Who's first, my friends?
My family?
Yeah, I've thought about it.
- Mrs. O'Brian?
- So you did their work?
- I'm not gonna be seeing heaven,
that's for sure.
- Do we trust cops and feds now?
- Trust has always been
about options, my friend.
- You have options?
- I have options?
I can't even get a job at a toll booth.
- No toll booth anymore.
- How about that.
You know, I'm gonna be lucky
if I get a good 10 years outta my life.
Most of my life has been on hold.
I get out and everything has jumped.
Cars start at 40 grand.
Shithole apartments are 1500.
People used to fast for religion,
they're doing it now
to pay their electric.
And you know something crazy?
They're not making much
more than when I left.
- Hmm.
We used to be motivated by luxury.
Now we're motivated by fear.
People are afraid to lose
the little that they have.
- I'm putting my balls up as collateral.
If I can't get a good few years of life,
I know how to live good in hell.
(waves crashing)
- You okay?
You need to sit down?
- No, I'm okay.
- There's gotta be a way to fix that.
- I don't know.
- That's the hard way, I guess, right?
Just staying positive.
That's the thing.
Keep pushing forward.
- I mean, why do you care?
- I'm not all bullets and money, you know.
- Let's get a room.
- You need to lie down?
- No, I need sex.
Like I'm not all bullets and money.
(Vic chuckles)
(waves crashing)
- This sure is turning into fuck soup.
- What are they telling you?
- I tell them all we see
are bodies washing up.
- If I don't make it out of this,
you need to look out for my kid.
- Just remember who you are
and you'll walk away clean.
- And if I don't?
- Something happens in the line of duty,
she'll be taken care of.
(Don's wife breathing heavy)
- Oh God.
- [Vic] What is it?
There's plenty of air.
- I can't.
I can't.
- [Vic] What...
What is it?
Is it the MS?
Claustrophobia?
I have that.
They've locked me in cages
where I couldn't even scratch my nose.
- What do I do?
- You gotta make it tighter.
You have to create the
walls tighter around you
'cause they're all going
to collapse eventually.
And when they do,
the original walls will be much bigger.
There'll be plenty of air.
(Don's wife breathing heavy)
(dramatic music)
- Oh, gracias, amigo.
Hey, did you notice, by the way?
No cops came.
- Yeah.
That's by design.
- How so?
- Their MDTs are hacked.
Somebody calls the cops and
the address gets changed.
- Who are you?
- I am just an ex con with
friends in low places.
- Could those friends
hack a security camera?
- Probably.
- Do you know what we can do with it?
- We're doing it.
- We could rob a bank.
- Hmm.
(dramatic music)
(car passing by)
(guns firing)
(dramatic music)
(gun firing)
(dramatic music)
(tires screeching)
Why?
- [Driver] Hotshot, motherfuckers.
They all want to be fucking heroes.
They came out of everywhere.
What do you think?
- Over a million.
- How did you know that
much was gonna be there?
- I didn't.
My gut just told me, "Go there."
- Don't leave me in the dark.
I deserve to know who I
need to be looking out for.
- All can tell you is this.
We're the good guys.
They don't even know about you.
- Well, that's enough for me.
Dude, this is my stop.
I...
I got used to being behind the eight ball,
I figured I'd just fucking die
in a welfare bed somewhere.
This...
This is good enough for me.
- Go.
Go find a good woman and listen to her.
- Why don't you?
- You know when I was inside,
I used to dream I was driving a car.
Gives me a sick feeling.
All those years I worked so hard
to do good time with
good people, you know?
And now I'm out and it's like...
Like it didn't happen.
It's like I was dead.
Can you find someone that
doesn't want to be found?
- Oh yeah.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
(phone ringing)
- [Speaker 2] Hey, it's me.
That guy you're looking for
is down in Marathon, Keys.
He turned on his phone
and got the location.
I don't have a street number,
but it's the corner
house on the north side
of Moondance street.
Text me when you want me to
turn off his phone and cameras.
Good luck.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
- I just heard something.
Check that out.
(suspenseful music)
(crickets chirping)
(heavy thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- [Vic] You are gonna die tonight.
- [David] It's not my fault.
They made me do it.
- [Vic] I'd respect
you more if you told me
to go fuck myself.
- [David] I'll fix it.
I can fix...
(gun fires)
(glass shatters)
(gun fires)
(David grunting)
Help me up.
- [Vic] You're not getting up.
- I can get you the diamonds.
- [Vic] Take 'em with you.
(gun fires)
(car engine buzzing)
(mellow music)
(mellow music)
(waves crashing)
- Calls are going out to active shootings.
Patrol is showing up to nothing.
- That's because he's
probably banging it out
on the other side of town.
- That's next level tactic.
- He's working some next level power.
- You're with him.
- Prove it.
Don't tell me what I'm doing.
- Sounds like you're
in way over your head.
- Huh, me?
You're the one chasing a ghost.
- Really?
That's the story you're sticking with?
No, no, no, no.
Look me in the eye.
This is the crossroad, Don.
No one's ever come back
from where you're going.
- I appreciate it.
- You work with me,
we eat the same.
(car music blaring)
- You created a vacuum.
Russians had territory
and deals made that.
- Fuck the Russians.
I don't care who picks their bones.
You wanna run with the ball?
- What do you mean?
- What, you want me to
start from the beginning?
Explain it all?
- Details.
You mean what?
Are you gonna put me in play?
- I'll get you a supplier.
You take over the business.
- And you?
- It's Disneyland for me now.

- Fuck.
(suspenseful music)
(seagulls squawking)
(suspenseful music)
It was in his terms.
That's how he wanted it.
- What does that mean?
- It means he didn't want
to be weak around you.
He didn't wanna be sick.
- Why are you guys so
worried about that though?
That's part of life.
- We can't control it.
- Was he in pain?
- No, it was fast.
(slow mellow music)
(footsteps echoing)
I am Vic.
- What can you do for me, Vic?
- We used to have these rules
about going to meetings.
Now you don't bring guns.
You can always walk away
from a slap or an insult.
- So you're not armed?
- I'm either walking outta
here tonight or I'm not.
But I am done going back and
forth on the streets with you.
There's no point in talking
about what didn't have to be.
Many of you are gonna keep their words
or they're not.
My word is worth more than
me than any amount of money.
I just spent 25 years proving that.
(heavy thud)
(Vic exhales)
- All right.
Yes.
Let me sit here a moment.
I've been considering
your grenade going off
and ending this pain that I am feeling.
I've debated killing myself.
The debate that comes from
the people I care about
finding out
and the weakness that that implies.
But I...
I can avoid all of that
with your grenade.
- So be it.

- What's this, Vic?
- I don't know.
It's probably about 2 million in cash.
I want you to take this and hide it.
If you want to buy anything,
I want you to take it from here.
- Look, Vic,
I'll hide it for you,
but I'm not gonna spend any of your money.
- I've got like three more of these.
- You made a lifetime's
worth of money that fast?
You better quit while you're ahead.
- I love it here,
but this place just brings
out something in me.
- What are you gonna do?
- I am going to
go someplace where money buys happiness.
(door opens)
- [Don] It's done.
If you're getting this message,
I won't be meeting you.
I didn't make it out alive.
I left a bag in the trunk of your car.
It's for my daughter.
I trust that you will get it to her.
No matter what anyone says about me,
I loved serving this city,
but I have to take care of my own
because I can't count on anyone else to.
You're a good cop.
You can stand tall.
I try to.
(suspenseful music)

- Hi.
I am on my way.
(suspenseful music)

- Move.
- Drop it.
Drop it.
