[MUSIC PLAYING]
BOY: You ever think about
what you want to be?
FRIEND: What do you mean?
I don't know, like
later, when you're older.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Like a firefighter or a
doctor or some crap like that?
Yeah.
FRIEND: Football.
Yeah, I'll play football.
For the Raiders.
What about you?
BOY: I don't care.
I just don't want us to be here.
Not anymore.
Come on.
Whatever happens,
I'm always going
to look after you,
no matter what.
BOY: Always?
FRIEND: Always.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[GUNFIRE]
Fuck you.
[GRUNTING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GUNSHOTS]
SANTIAGO: Decent.
Good.
Yeah.
You?
MAN: I'm doing all right.
SANTIAGO: It looks like
you're doing pretty well.
MAN: Nah.
Could do better.
You got any family?
SANTIAGO: No.
You?
Sons.
Three of them.
Hang-ups aren't the intention.
Not on my part.
You know that.
We got company.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
No, no, no.
It's good.
Sit down.
No, it's going to be good.
It's OK.
Sit down.
I said sit down.
Take this drink.
It'll be OK.
[GRUNTING AND GROANING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GUNSHOT]
[SCREAMING]
[GUNSHOTS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GUNSHOTS]
Who the fuck are you?
STEPHANO: You're going to
fucking bring us our sister.
Hey, hey.
Hey, can you hear me?
Look at me.
[GUNSHOTS]
SANTIAGO: You come into
my house, kill my men,
threaten my family.
Your sister, she was a fighter.
Every inch of her.
Over there.
You're going away, fucker.
[SCREAMING]
STEPHANO: You're going,
too, you motherfuckers.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SCREAMING]
Are you a loyal man?
Good.
Show me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GUN COCKS]
Vamos.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You gotta stop
with this vegan shit.
You know how many places I
had to stop by to find that?
Well, you're three weeks
out from La Playa, amigo,
so I'm doing you a favor.
Speaking of.
What the hell are we doing here?
We're supposed to be off putting
work, not taking on new cases.
Cindy Cruz is our Jane.
Was.
Oh, shit.
Cindy?
Ali's girl?
The question is,
what is she doing here?
Unprotected.
She's basically
Santiago's family.
They wouldn't take a piss
without bringing their army
with it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oy, cabron.
Don't waste my AC.
Close the door.
You were too busy
to say this earlier,
but it's kind of nice having
You know what the fuck I mean.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
No, you never left.
So how's it feel being out?
Fuck you.
We gotta talk about it.
Football.
Fuck you think?
Last night, cabron.
You know, this shit's not going
to be as easy as we thought.
She's a problem.
How can you possibly know that?
You don't get to say
shit and have it be true.
I don't know.
But we get cops
breathing on our ass.
Shit's already going sideways.
What I'm saying is,
you've been through hell.
You'd rush this shit again.
It'll all be over
before we even start.
You understand what I'm saying?
Don't... Now you're walking.
Hear me out.
I just need to know
that there's a plan.
A real fucking plan.
One with numbers,
lines, and shit.
I'm here.
I'm in here.
I just got to make sure that
you thought this through.
Really fucking
thought this through.
This isn't a game.
Look at your face.
Look at what they did to you.
All right.
All right, I get it.
I just...
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, sir.
How's it going?
You hear about that
thing in the alley?
That you?
Want anything?
BARTENDER: Scrub through that.
See if you see anything.
I'll cover your coffee, but I'm
going to need you to move on.
I can't have you seen here.
OK.
That's our guy.
Airdropping now.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
STEPHANO: When he's
done kissing the ring,
he should be landing
at Emma's for tonight.
It's nice to see you, no?
All right.
We got Emma's house, club.
Are we shooting the gap?
You do know she can
cause a struggle.
Like the old days, huh?
Draw me.
Come on, pull.
Does it look like
I'm fucking around?
Pull.
Fucking pussy.
Yep.
Yeah, fuck you too.
Come on.
Again.
Shit.
Come on.
Load it.
Load it.
Again.
Reload.
The old days.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Dad.
The draft is for the pigs.
You're disappointing.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SCREAMS]
Find him.
Go and check with his posse.
See what they were last night.
Make sure you didn't fuck
with the wrong people.
Hey, make sure Dad
don't kill this chick.
I don't wanna clean
up after this shit.
[SOBS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
SANTIAGO: No reason
to be up here.
Hear it?
You're safe now.
EMMA: No.
That's what you
want to hear, right?
It's OK.
[CRYING]
I can help.
But how do you know you have it?
EMMA: Please, please.
I had no idea.
Used to work for us, huh?
I mean, me.
Actually, I remember.
I remember you.
And then my son
rescued you, didn't he?
On his own.
Took care of you.
EMMA: Please.
Please.
I had no idea.
I don't know anything.
You have to believe me.
I don't know anything.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SOBBING]
And if you share
one breath of this,
I will tell you
inside out myself.
Pendeja.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
DOCTOR: We have a time
of death, 12:00 to 12:45.
Tesla photo stamps 12:37.
All right, Face ID
with the boys, nothing.
I just don't get the why.
It's a rough life, V. I
mean, people in these circles,
you don't get with
the Santiago's
without knowing the risk.
You're telling me she
had no protection at all?
That's the part that
doesn't make sense to me.
I just... we had no signs of her,
no casings, not another body.
She didn't give out like that.
What about wrong
place, wrong time?
Our PY saw the
opportunity and took it.
VELEZ: I mean, again, there's
still no sign of rape.
She had her phone and
her jewelry on her.
What about Alan?
I've seen stranger.
These guys, they
beat their girls,
but they don't execute them.
Usually.
I think all of these
answers come from one guy,
and one guy only.
He's half of it.
And Alan's the other half.
I think it's time
we pay him a visit.
1 o'clock on a Wednesday.
My usual time to
hit the titty bar.
Shit.
I don't know where he is, man, I
swear, Dude, I don't
know shit, man.
I ain't shit.
Stop.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) You
running away from me
So automatic
Can't wait, waiting for you
I don't know anything, man.
I swear to God.
Stop it.
I don't know anything.
Just stop hurting me.
I don't know where he is.
I don't... I don't
fucking know where he is.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What did I fucking do?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROANING]
I'm sick of it here.
The driver.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
SANTIAGO: Fucking shit.
This was calculated, Flaco.
Planned and brought.
Someone talked to
someone who called.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
The corner of Fifth
and Willard, please.
That's Lucas' spot.
Flaco, the position you
and your brother share,
people would kill for.
And I killed to give it to you.
Bloodshed runs thin on
the face of ambition.
And if he is involved?
He's your brother.
Hey.
You're my son.
Where are you taking us?
It seems like we should have
made a turn a while ago.
[WHOOSHING]
What the fuck?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[GRUNTING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROANING]
I always wondered
what kind of man
you are when the
spotlight went on.
Turns out you're just
a scared old dog.
[GROANING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You think you're a man now?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
You taught your
sons how to make pain.
Now you teach them to endure.
Maybe.
[GROANING]
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
Hey, hey.
OK.
OK.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Let's see what kind of lies
bleed from the eyes of a king.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Look at him, Steven.
Look at him.
Your hero.
Your legacy.
Poor baby.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GROANING]
[SCREAMING]
Ms. Logan?
If you know that about me, you
know I've got nothing to say.
I just have a few questions.
Questions.
You trying to get fucked?
People here don't talk to
cops, especially not me.
It's about Cindy.
You two were friends, right?
Pretty close?
Is that a crime I have
nothing to say to you.
You know, it's not my
first time being back here.
Was it that shit?
No, it's not that.
I used to be a social worker.
Worked in foster unit
for a long, long time.
Isn't that nice?
No, it wasn't.
Why did you quit?
Spend so much time
picking up the pieces,
you just want to find
out who's breaking glass.
Cindy and I were friends.
Cindy was a rat.
No.
I was helping her out,
trying to help her.
I just want to know
if you know anything
that happened that
night that she died,
or if she said something
the last time...
No.
I don't know what she did.
Yeah, we were friends, OK?
It's obvious.
She helped girls like me.
We've seen a lot
of shit together.
VELEZ: Like that night?
I was working.
Not here.
Listen, I haven't heard shit.
And I really wish
that I could help you,
but you got to get
the fuck out of here.
Been walking it back?
What did I miss?
This is my partner,
Detective Combs.
Nice to meet you.
Diamond?
You know, we had a
really nice conversation,
but I think it's time
for you guys to go.
VELEZ: He's just here
to help, like me.
Do you know if Cindy ran
with anyone specific,
or who she wanted
to hang out with?
John Michael or Alan.
John Michael?
6 foot 5, white guy,
worked with Santiago.
You can't miss him.
He was always the
muscle for her.
When they got her,
I was expecting
to see his body
right next to her.
Did she see anybody else?
Anybody suspicious?
Maybe with some...
He just wants to
know who did this.
That's all we care about.
Different people care about
different things, Detective.
Right now, all I care about
is this John Michael person.
Is he somebody who
knows something?
Have you ever been to
Ferdinand's, the gym?
I know it.
You might want to check it out.
There's a fight tonight.
You might see
something you'd like.
You know, it's funny.
When you first showed
up here, I thought
you were here about Steven.
Steven?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[CHEERING]
Looking for a fight?
I'm just looking.
Maybe both.
[CHEERING]
Damn, bro, you look sexy.
Eww.
[CHEERING]
WOMAN: I swear to God.
Hey, you guys seen John Michael.
What?
I mean, honestly.
John Michael, have
you seen him around?
No, I haven't.
Seriously, you need water.
Let's get out of here.
[CHEERING]
Hello, young lady.
You know, you remind
me of my daughter.
You doing OK back here?
What's he doing?
Hey, pal.
[CHEERING]
Hey, what?
They're still here.
[CHEERING]
Break up, break up, break up.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[DISTORTED SPEECH]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GUNFIRE]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Cops?
So we're killing cops now?
What the fuck were you thinking?
[GUNSHOT]
Hey.
There's a hell of a long road
between making us and shooting
at them.
You told me you had a plan.
You told me you
thought this through.
It's not what the
fuck I'm saying, man.
Fuck you.
I want you to think.
What's the point
of doing all this
if the cops got you on the
ground the second it's all over?
I don't want that,
and she sure as hell
doesn't want that either.
We want you to live a life.
Why are you crying?
You don't fear death.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I don't know what
all this is about.
All this.
Your girl?
Huh?
That girl?
Your sister Sophia?
You misplace your rage.
Huh?
You think you're angry at
me, but you're not, no.
You're angry at
the way things are,
the way they've always been.
What?
You thinks she's the first one
to trade her body for a needle?
Quid pro quo.
This for that.
Transactional and
personal, fair.
Not just on my business,
but on everybody.
You understand.
If anything, my work helped give
her freedom for her destiny.
We should have talked.
You had to come shoot
up the place, huh?
But it's not too late.
We can make arrangements.
That's it.
Tell me how I can
make you whole, huh?
Tell me... tell me I
can help you, huh?
Tell me... tell me
how I can fix this.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Answer me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[WHIRRING]
[GROANS]
I don't... I
don't fucking care.
Listen to me.
I don't care if you have to
turn the city upside down.
Find my brothers.
Do you understand me?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Ouch.
So you're the motherfucker
that took my brothers.
Where the fuck are they?
You have no idea who you're...
wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
I know you.
Fuck.
I fucking killed you.
[GRUNTING]
Stupid motherfucker.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Get that shit, motherfucker.
Get that shit.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
COP: Hey, you know it's
the weekend, right?
OK, tell me we got it.
COP: Oh, we got it.
Your thought on the
scars was money.
We cleared those up and got
a match almost immediately.
Travis Holloway, now 34.
He's bad news, Velez.
Oh my, I could kiss you.
Velez, you know I'm
happily married to my job.
It could never work between us.
Do we have any associates
or addresses for this guy?
How do we find him?
That's the thing,
he just got out.
Out?
He was locked up?
No, he got picked up three
years ago from a nasty seen.
Some guys were
roughing him up bad.
It's not exactly a
crime to get tortured.
He's been in a state ICU
and St. Mary's until about...
St. Mary's, that's a
psychiatric hospital.
That's not right.
Told you, Velez,
this guy is bad news.
I'll send over
everything I got, OK?
You take care of yourself.
I'll save that kiss
for a rainy day.
OK.
OK.
That's disgusting.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Steven.
[GRUNTS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GROANS]
Fuck.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Fuck you.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Fuck it.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Fuck you, cabron.
[GRUNTING AND GROANING]
Fuck.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck.
Fuck yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOBS]
FLACO: Fuck.
Fuck.
[SOBS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Thank you.
Thank you.
Copy that.
89 White Oak Drive.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAVID: So what do you mean?
Three years ago, when they
picked up Travis from the club,
he wasn't the only
one that got hurt.
They pulled a body
up that night.
The body, it was his
foster brother, Stephano.
So what?
Now we're supposed to
feel bad for this asshole?
No, I don't know.
I just... Travis, his targets,
his choices, his recklessness.
I think the Santiagos broke
more than just bones that night.
I think the war for Travis is
between perception and reality.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Don't forget, this
nutjob killed Cindy.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I'm going to drop him.
Don't.
David, fuck.
David?
I told you, I worked
undercover with these guys.
Why would you use
your... hey, hey, hey, hey.
Wait, wait, wait.
Travis.
Don't waste your
breath, Detective.
It's fucking worthless.
VELEZ: Look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
I know you can hear me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
SANTIAGO: What the
fuck are they saying?
DAVID: V.
SANTIAGO: Shoot this fucker.
Are you dumb?
Why did you kill her?
Cindy.
The girl in Morton's
Alley that night.
What did you do?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You mean that rat bitch, Cindy?
Easy, easy.
No.
I told you, it's done.
Loyalty is everything.
Loyalty is everything.
You know we have to take him in.
Do you understand that?
I read the report.
I know what he did.
Come on, V.
To your brother.
Velez.
Look, look.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Remember?
Look.
Santiago, shut the fuck up.
Holmes.
SANTIAGO: Someone look familiar?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Loyalty is everything.
It must be, loyalty.
So where's your loyalty now?

What did I fucking do?

[GROANING]
I'm sick of it here.
The driver.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
SANTIAGO: Fucking shit.
This was calculated, Flaco.
Planned and brought.
Someone talked to
someone who called.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
The corner of Fifth
and Willard, please.
That's Lucas' spot.
Flaco, the position you
and your brother share,
people would kill for.
And I killed to give it to you.
Bloodshed runs thin on
the face of ambition.
And if he is involved?
He's your brother.
Hey.
You're my son.
Where are you taking us?
It seems like we should have
made a turn a while ago.

What the fuck?

I always wondered
what kind of man
you are when the
spotlight went on.
Turns out you're just
a scared old dog.
[GROANING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You think you're a man now?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
You taught your
sons how to make pain.
Now you teach them to endure.
Maybe.
[GROANING]
[MUFFLED SPEECH]
Hey, hey.
OK.
OK.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Let's see what kind of lies
bleed from the eyes of a king.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Look at him, Steven.
Look at him.
Your hero.
Your legacy.
Poor baby.

Ms. Logan?
If you know that about me, you
know I've got nothing to say.
I just have a few questions.
Questions.
You trying to get fucked?
People here don't talk to
cops, especially not me.
It's about Cindy.
You two were friends, right?
Pretty close?
Is that a crime I have
nothing to say to you.
You know, it's not my
first time being back here.
Was it that shit?
No, it's not that.
I used to be a social worker.
Worked in foster unit
for a long, long time.
Isn't that nice?
No, it wasn't.
Why did you quit?
Spend so much time
picking up the pieces,
you just want to find
out who's breaking glass.
Cindy and I were friends.
Cindy was a rat.
No.
I was helping her out,
trying to help her.
I just want to know
if you know anything
that happened that
night that she died,
or if she said something
the last time...
No.
I don't know what she did.
Yeah, we were friends, OK?
It's obvious.
She helped girls like me.
We've seen a lot
of shit together.
VELEZ: Like that night?
I was working.
Not here.
Listen, I haven't heard shit.
And I really wish
that I could help you,
but you got to get
the fuck out of here.
Been walking it back?
What did I miss?
This is my partner,
Detective Combs.
Nice to meet you.
Diamond?
You know, we had a
really nice conversation,
but I think it's time
for you guys to go.
VELEZ: He's just here
to help, like me.
Do you know if Cindy ran
with anyone specific,
or who she wanted
to hang out with?
John Michael or Alan.
John Michael?
6 foot 5, white guy,
worked with Santiago.
You can't miss him.
He was always the
muscle for her.
When they got her,
I was expecting
to see his body
right next to her.
Did she see anybody else?
Anybody suspicious?
Maybe with some...
He just wants to
know who did this.
That's all we care about.
Different people care about
different things, Detective.
Right now, all I care about
is this John Michael person.
Is he somebody who
knows something?
Have you ever been to
Ferdinand's, the gym?
I know it.
You might want to check it out.
There's a fight tonight.
You might see
something you'd like.
You know, it's funny.
When you first showed
up here, I thought
you were here about Steven.
Steven?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[CHEERING]
Looking for a fight?
I'm just looking.
Maybe both.
[CHEERING]
Damn, bro, you look sexy.
Eww.
[CHEERING]
WOMAN: I swear to God.
Hey, you guys seen John Michael.
What?
I mean, honestly.
John Michael, have
you seen him around?
No, I haven't.
Seriously, you need water.
Let's get out of here.
[CHEERING]
Hello, young lady.
You know, you remind
me of my daughter.
You doing OK back here?
What's he doing?
Hey, pal.
[CHEERING]
Hey, what?
They're still here.
[CHEERING]
Break up, break up, break up.

Cops?
So we're killing cops now?
What the fuck were you thinking?
[GUNSHOT]
Hey.
There's a hell of a long road
between making us and shooting
at them.
You told me you had a plan.
You told me you
thought this through.
It's not what the
fuck I'm saying, man.
Fuck you.
I want you to think.
What's the point
of doing all this
if the cops got you on the
ground the second it's all over?
I don't want that,
and she sure as hell
doesn't want that either.
We want you to live a life.
Why are you crying?
You don't fear death.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I don't know what
all this is about.
All this.
Your girl?
Huh?
That girl?
Your sister Sophia?
You misplace your rage.
Huh?
You think you're angry at
me, but you're not, no.
You're angry at
the way things are,
the way they've always been.
What?
You thinks she's the first one
to trade her body for a needle?
Quid pro quo.
This for that.
Transactional and
personal, fair.
Not just on my business,
but on everybody.
You understand.
If anything, my work helped give
her freedom for her destiny.
We should have talked.
You had to come shoot
up the place, huh?
But it's not too late.
We can make arrangements.
That's it.
Tell me how I can
make you whole, huh?
Tell me... tell me I
can help you, huh?
Tell me... tell me
how I can fix this.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Answer me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[WHIRRING]
[GROANS]
I don't... I
don't fucking care.
Listen to me.
I don't care if you have to
turn the city upside down.
Find my brothers.
Do you understand me?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Ouch.
So you're the motherfucker
that took my brothers.
Where the fuck are they?
You have no idea who you're...
wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
I know you.
Fuck.
I fucking killed you.
[GRUNTING]
Stupid motherfucker.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Get that shit, motherfucker.
Get that shit.

COP: Hey, you know it's
the weekend, right?
OK, tell me we got it.
COP: Oh, we got it.
Your thought on the
scars was money.
We cleared those up and got
a match almost immediately.
Travis Holloway, now 34.
He's bad news, Velez.
Oh my, I could kiss you.
Velez, you know I'm
happily married to my job.
It could never work between us.
Do we have any associates
or addresses for this guy?
How do we find him?
That's the thing,
he just got out.
Out?
He was locked up?
No, he got picked up three
years ago from a nasty seen.
Some guys were
roughing him up bad.
It's not exactly a
crime to get tortured.
He's been in a state ICU
and St. Mary's until about...
St. Mary's, that's a
psychiatric hospital.
That's not right.
Told you, Velez,
this guy is bad news.
I'll send over
everything I got, OK?
You take care of yourself.
I'll save that kiss
for a rainy day.
OK.
OK.
That's disgusting.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

DAVID: So what do you mean?
Three years ago, when they
picked up Travis from the club,
he wasn't the only
one that got hurt.
They pulled a body
up that night.
The body, it was his
foster brother, Stephano.
So what?
Now we're supposed to
feel bad for this asshole?
No, I don't know.
I just... Travis, his targets,
his choices, his recklessness.
I think the Santiagos broke
more than just bones that night.
I think the war for Travis is
between perception and reality.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Don't forget, this
nutjob killed Cindy.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
I'm going to drop him.
Don't.
David, fuck.
David?
I told you, I worked
undercover with these guys.
Why would you use
your... hey, hey, hey, hey.
Wait, wait, wait.
Travis.
Don't waste your
breath, Detective.
It's fucking worthless.
VELEZ: Look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
I know you can hear me.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
SANTIAGO: What the
fuck are they saying?
DAVID: V.
SANTIAGO: Shoot this fucker.
Are you dumb?
Why did you kill her?
Cindy.
The girl in Morton's
Alley that night.
What did you do?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You mean that rat bitch, Cindy?
Easy, easy.
No.
I told you, it's done.
Loyalty is everything.
Loyalty is everything.
You know we have to take him in.
Do you understand that?
I read the report.
I know what he did.
Come on, V.
To your brother.
Velez.
Look, look.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Remember?
Look.
Santiago, shut the fuck up.
Holmes.
SANTIAGO: Someone look familiar?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Loyalty is everything.
It must be, loyalty.
So where's your loyalty now?
