Do you know what she did? Yeah, she killed the man who did that.
(TOM) Evie? Evie, thank God.

Mitch! Maybe we should get out of here.
You know, get away from all this shit, go someplace else.
(Knock at door) You expecting anyone? I take the morning off to be with you.
Sweetheart, would you? (KIM) What do you want? Well, if it isn't my favorite fugitive cop.
Can I come in? Thank you.
I need to talk.
You know they suspended me, don't you? It was only a matter of time.
I make one call, turn you in, I get my career back.
So what are you gonna offer me that's better than that? Nothing.
I always admired your negotiating skills.
Alright.
Sweetheart, could you maybe give us a second? - I'll go for a smoke.
- Okay.
How did you get out? Hospital.
Travis, you're wasted as a cop.
I can't get hold of Mitch.
Have you seen him? Yeah, I was with him yesterday, we were working your case.
You were? Actually, we made a pretty good team.
You know, he's not a bad cop.
You know Max was sent down for assaulting a cop? Yeah.
Fleming was the cop.
That wasn't in the arrest report.
Somebody's been burying that shit.
Mitch went out to Fleming's to see what he could dig up.
Listen to this.
Wilson, it's me.
I'm at Fleming's grandmother's.
Guess who used to live across the street.
Jimmy Laszlo.
Fleming and Max grew up together.
I'm gonna have a look around the old Laszlo joint.
I'll check it with you later.
We think Max's arrest was staged.
He got himself thrown in jail to give him an alibi when the move on his father goes down.
Max makes it look like Clay Street is trying to take out Jimmy.
Alec finds himself in the middle of a war, fucks it up as only Alec Laszlo can.
Max comes out, restores order, takes Jimmy's crown.
Fleming killed Sam.
What F Fleming, you sure? Remember that meet where Chen didn't show? I had Sam with me.
I left him in the car.
I think that he saw Fleming kill Chen.
I think he was a witness.
Oh, I am I'm so fucking sorry.
We've got to find Mitch.
How did you fuck this up? She got the jump on me.
She's still out there, putting this whole thing together.
- This could come back to me.
- I'll deal with it.
Like you dealt with Michael Chen? It was you, wasn't it? You killed her boy.
I came to you and I told you we had a problem with the Chen situation.
He was a child.
Don't fucking put that on me.
Don't you fucking put that on me.
I told you we had a witness, you didn't want to know, you didn't want to hear about it.
You told me to deal with it, I dealt with it.
You think I wanted to do that, you motherfucker? You told me Wilson was gonna show up for the meet with Chen.
Well, he didn't fucking show up! She wasn't even supposed to be there.
I didn't see him, he was alone in the car.
What the fuck was he doing in the car alone? He was a fucking kid! I didn't know it was a cop's kid.
You fucked up, kid.
You'll be dealing with me now.
My father's retired.
You got that? He doesn't look retired to me.
Don't worry.
That's taken care of.
Sorry, Jimmy, Alec told us not to let you in.
Aargh! - You alright? - You fucking shot me! Motherfucker! - Listen, Jimmy, I'm sorry.
- Lloyd.
Sorry, Jimmy! The boys I tried to tell them but they wouldn't fucking listen.
SEAN: Motherfucker! Fuck them.
Fuck Alec, I'll deal with him in my own time.
Right now, what I'm interested in is Grace fucking Travis.
She escaped from custody.
- You're shitting me? - I wish I was.
Raise the bounty, 500,000.
Get the word out.
I want her dead.
I'm on it, Jimmy.
I'm on it.
Alec.
Dad.
How can I help? There've been some changes around here.
I noticed.
(Weapons clicking) You can either leave with your dignity intact or my boys down there are gonna throw you out.
Alright.
Want us to finish him off? No.
Let him go.
(Breathes heavily) No.
This isn't happening.
(WILSON) What? They got him.
- How do you know? - Because everything's gone! The maps, the files-- everything that he had on the case, it's gone.
He's gone.
Wilson, he's he's dead.
No! (Sobs) You don't know that.
We don't know that.
(Sobs) I should have never brought him into this.
I should have left him alone.
What about his boy? What about his beautiful boy? Mitch wanted to do this, you know? He had a chance to get out and he didn't take it.
He didn't give up on you.
The evil fucking bastards! Fleming didn't do this alone come after me, take Mitch out clean this place up.
He's not acting alone.
Alright.
What are you doing? He had a backup piece somewhere here.
Travis, you can't take them all on by yourself.
- What are you gonna do when you find Fleming? Let me help.
- I got it! We'll take them in together.
Travis, please come on.
I need you to keep an eye on my family.
I need you to keep Fleming away from them.
It's okay, it's done.
What about Jimmy? 'Cause you know he'll be coming after you.
You know as well as I do.
If my son Alec takes over there'll be a bloodbath.
We all lose.
You've wanted in on the docks for a long time, we know that.
I'm prepared to give you an opening.
Partnership.
What I need right now is muscle.
Do we have an agreement? (Buzz of chatter) How many? 22? I'll have to get some more guys on that.
Alright.
What am I doing here, Dad? Sit down.
I'm not gonna sit down.
Sit down.
I want to talk to you.
There's nothing to talk about.
We can sort this out, Alec.
It's not too late.
What did I tell you about making me wait? Agh! Relax.
Think I'm gonna try something? You're my only son.
Now, sit down.
Give me half an hour of your precious time.
Urgh! Hey! I could have had you taken out.
Back there.
At the office.
Urgh! All I had to do say the word.
I spared your life.
Well, I'm touched.
(Shouting) (Shouts order) Well, wanna go I'm sorry I wasted your time.
Grandma Esther.
Hello.
James Laszlo.
The man.
The legend.
So word out in the street is these are your new offices.
Only temporary, Detective? Wilson.
Wilson.
- I gotta congratulate you.
- Oh? Grace Travis.
Yeah, I mean damn, I've been trying to bang that broad since the day she walked into Oakland.
No luck.
You? She just jumps right in the sack with you.
But then what do you got that I don't? Is it the power, the money, the beard? It's all right.
I get it.
What I don't get is why you're going after her.
What's the bounty now? Look, I know she killed your boy, but it was self-defense, Jimmy.
All she ever did was try and find the bastard who put a bullet in her son's head.
You're going after the wrong person.
It's Fleming you want.
Detective Fleming, Oakland PD.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Maybe you do, maybe you don't.
He was a friend of your boy Max.
They grew up together, right across the street from your old Jackson Street house.
Maybe they were more than just friends.
Cos those two did every fucking thing together.
That bastard, he shot at you, killed Tony Aldon, murdered your dear friend Charlie.
That's the bastard you want, not Grace.
You need to think about who your real enemy is here, cos it ain't her.
(Lively chatter in Chinese) (Calls out in Chinese) Jimmy don't want you here.
You slitty-eyed pricks.
I'm coming back.
And heavy.
You better believe I'm coming back.
Jimmy brought the chinks onto the docks? They're sitting there right now, at my desk Charlie's, Max's.
How could he fucking do this? So got my guys.
Every one of them.
All of them fucking gone.
He's got no crew left so he makes a deal with Clay Street.
He's lost his fucking soul.
- What are you gonna do? - What do you think I'm gonna do? Lie down and take it? No.
Not this time.
Baby, he's not gonna stop.
I'm not afraid of him any more.
He wants a war I'm gonna give him one.
You need to think about this.
I have thought about it.
I've thought about nothing else.
You can still talk to him.
You can still sort it out.
Talk to him? Jesus, Cath, whose side are you on? I don't want Ruby losing her daddy.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I'm just saying we need to tread carefully.
You think I'm not up for this? This is what you've wanted for years and now you're getting cold feet! - I am not - If you don't have the stomach for it, maybe you should leave! How can you say that to me? Is that what you want? What I want is a wife who is gonna stand by me, not run up the white flag the minute things get tough.
Now, if you can't do that, why don't you fuck off? Fine! Maybe I'll do that! Why don't I get my things? Ruby! Ruby is not going anywhere.
You wanna go, go! She stays here.
You're hurting me.
- What is it, Mommy? - Come here, baby.
Come here.
(Lively chatter) Keep looking.
Got a guy in that apartment of hers.
Got someone on her family home.
We put someone on Wilson.
He hasn't been anywhere near her.
She's a fucking ghost.
I don't care what it costs, fucking find her.
Jimmy! Jimmy! Detective Fleming, right? You got balls coming here.
I'll give you that.
Give us a minute, huh? Nervous? Yeah.
If I wanted to take you out, you wouldn't have reached the fucking door.
What do you want? I know where Max put your money.
Go on.
It's in an offshore account.
I can't get to it but you're next of kin, so you can.
If I tell you where it is.
I'm listening.
You want Grace Travis? I can give you that bitch on a plate.
- How? - She wants me.
- I can flush her out.
- And in return? - I want a slice of the cake.
- How much? Five million.
Or you could kill me and get no money and no Grace.
Are you the one who shot at me? Yeah.
And Charlie, Tony? I did whatever Max told me to do.
If I didn't, I'd be the one on the slab.
And that fucking cop's little boy? Sam? I never wanted to do that one.
I never wanted to do it.
Was that Max? No.
Max didn't know anything about it.
That was Campbell.
Deputy Chief Campbell? Hey! You wanna deal with me, you tell me the truth, every fucking word of it! What? You think Max could've moved against you on his own, man? Campbell was his ace in the hole.
I don't understand.
Who did you work for? Max or Campbell? It was Max's idea I become a cop.
We were gonna run Oakland one day, just like you and Campbell.
Campbell found out that I was working with Max, he threatened to expose me unless I did his bidding.
With me on the inside, he could control Max.
Max had no idea.
You were his friend.
Campbell had it in his head that you uh you were a lost cause.
They were already planning to move against you when Campbell found out about the 25 million.
- How? - From a Fed named Michael Chen.
Chen was investigating money-laundering in the Bay when he stumbled across one of Tony's paper trails.
How did Max steal my money? He didn't.
Your accountant, Tony Aldon, he stole it.
He got greedy.
Campbell found out about the money, he told your son, they agreed to split it, Max blackmailed Tony, I shot him.
And Michael Chen? Campbell was worried Chen would uncover the links between you and him, so Chen had to go.
That was your handiwork? Chen was undercover so uh we had no idea how to find him so Campbell had Wilson arrange a meet to get him in the open.
- Wilson was in on this? - No.
Wilson's a fucking patsy.
Anyway, Wilson didn't show.
Grace Travis did.
And her little boy saw you kill Chen? Yeah.
I remember you now.
From the Jackson Street house.
Alec used to beat the shit out of you.
Alec Alec bullied me and Max every opportunity he got.
Yeah.
That's how we became friends.
Why did he hate me? Max didn't hate you, Jimmy.
You were in his way.
That's all.
Max didn't have feelings for anyone.
Except for you? A bond that strong, over that many years.
Were you two love Do we have a deal or what? Hm? Tell me How does it feel to put a bullet in the head of a seven-year-old boy? Oh, I'm gonna burn in hell.
I know that.
I just ain't going there yet.
That's all.
You deliver Grace Travis after I'm done with her you take me to the money.
I'll give you 500,000.
Not a cent more.
(Opens door) Okay.
Wilson's in touch with Travis.
Appreciate the tip.
(Presses phone number) (Phone rings) - Yeah? - It's me.
Fleming's here.
He's outside your house.
Oh, God.
- He's going in.
- You need to get in there.
Don't leave them alone with him.
Yeah, I'm gone.
- What the fuck? - Okay, stop.
No, no.
Buddy Wilson, I am arresting you on suspicion of aiding and abetting a fugitive.
- What are you talking about? - Do not resist! I'm warning you.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you do or say can That man is dangerous! Do not let him in that house! If you cannot afford an attorney one will be provided for you.
He killed Sam Travis! He killed Detective Travis's son! - Do not let him in - Do you understand the rights? You're making a mistake! Get him out of here! (Siren wails) - What the hell is all that? - No idea.
(Phone rings) Hello? - Hello? (GRACE) - Tom.
Grace.
- Yeah.
Look there.
- Got it.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Is Evie with you? She's fine.
The police are here, too, Grace.
Tell her to pick up the extension.
Look, I don't think that's a good idea.
Please, just just do it for me, Tommy.
Will you? Honey, pick up the other phone.
Mom? Are you okay? I'm fine, baby.
How about you? I'm okay.
I love you, Mom.
I love you so much.
I always have and I always will.
Tommy, they're onto me.
I'm going to Grandma Esther's to say goodbye.
Yeah.
(Sighs) Yeah.
I think she'd like that.
I love you.
We got her! We got her position.
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go! - Dad - Yeah.
It's okay.
- Who's Grandma Esther? - I have no idea.
Grandma.
Grandma, are you there? Come on, pick up.
Call me back as soon as you get this and let me know you're okay.
Shit! (Modern gospel singing on TV) Grandma? Grandma? (Sighs) Why didn't you answer the phone? Nicky.
What are you doing here? I was in the neighborhood.
I thought I'd pop by.
Everything okay? - Someone stopped by for you.
- What? Another cop asking about poor Max Laszlo.
Pretty young black girl.
- Did you see where she went? - She went to the old Laszlo house.
Lord knows what she thinks she's gonna find in there.
Just slowly and carefully drop your gun.
Do it.
Now move.
That's it.
That for me? Okay, you need to get down on your knees.
I'm a cop.
You know what they do to cop-killers.
On your knees.
We can talk about this, sister.
Put your hands behind your back.
Are you gonna fucking torture me, Travis? Do it.
- (Click) - Grace.
Did you really think I'd come here alone? Huh? Drop it.
Drop it! All yours, Jimmy.
I'll be outside.
What are you doing, Jimmy? What are you doing, man? Think about it.
Without me, there's no money.
I delivered her.
We had a deal.
Come on, man.
Come on.
I just need to know My Sam.
He saw you kill Michael Chen, didn't he? I just need to hear it from you.
And that is all.
Why did you leave a kid alone in a car? (Splutters) Was it worth it? (Distant barking) Grace.
What happened? I got him.
I got him, Tommy.
It's over.
It's over.
- Mom? - Hey.
What are you doing home? I came home.
Are the police still looking for you? Yes.
What happens now? Come here.
Come here.
When you were little, and I used to read to you, you'd always say, "What happens next?" "What happens next, Mommy?" Even on the last page.
You know, the part where it's, "And they all lived happily ever after.
" That was never enough for you.
My smart little bean.
You always had to know more.
"What happens next, Mommy?" "What happens next?" Let's go.
You remember when we first met? You'd pulled me over on a DUI, in your bright, shiny uniform.
(Jimmy laughs) What were you? 25? I can see it in your eyes.
We wanted the same things.
- I let you off.
- You did.
We built an empire together.
So why'd you fucking betray me? You thought you could hide 25 million and I wouldn't find out? Thought you could buy a bank without me? Go legit? I made you, Jimmy.
Heard about your deal with Clay Street.
- Ingenious.
- Yeah, well needs must.
I'm not gonna let the Chinese get a hold on the docks, Jimmy.
It's not in my game plan.
Well, they work for me, you know.
I'm still in charge down there.
You wanna try and run things by yourself? You go right ahead.
See how that works for you.
I'll shut you down within a month, Jimmy.
You know that.
I want you gone out of Oakland.
That's not gonna happen.
Then I'm gonna go after Alec for those heads.
I'll push for Murder One.
That's death row, Jimmy.
You know I'll get it.
It's either you or him.
If I agree to leave you leave Alec alone.
He runs things.
I don't have a problem with that.
But he doesn't get to know about this.
Let him Let him think he got there on his own.
(Laughs) I told 'em I was coming back heavy.
Looks like they got the message.
There are two ways this can go.
I can charge you on two counts of murder Or? As far as I'm concerned, Detective the department owes you an apology.
In pursuing Detective Fleming you took down a lone rogue cop who brought disgrace on our badge and on our city.
In a lot of people's minds you'll be a hero.
You'll have their sympathy.
There'll be a review board, of course.
If the shootings are found to be justified, you'll be in the clear.
Why would you do this? The city of Oakland could use a cop like you, Detective.
Frankly, so could I.
I'd like you to consider joining my team.
What do you say? Okay.
I'm in.
