She's expecting us.
the grow-op is situated Somewhere along this stretch of coastline.
handy place for a pot crop.
No cops or nosy neighbors.
yeah, that's why they put it there.
we're not so much interested In closing down this one location As we are in isolating the individual behind it.
Now, we've compiled a body of evidence That puts him at the center Of a much larger narcotics operation.
this is the culmination of a two-year investigation By the organized crime unit.
and catching him with his hand in the cookie jar Will make it a whole lot harder for him to deny it.
where exactly do you guys want us to drop you? we have an approximate location right here.
and I'll be wearing a tracking device.
my team is gonna follow along at a safe distance, And when the target goes inside, we move.
usual duties for us? strictly support.
fastest access is by water, So you guys will provide ferry service And d first aiif necessary.
hopefully, it won't be.
my crew will have a life boat Ready for you at 1100 hours.
all right.
make sure we have enough water To get t them ere they wanna go tomorrow.
I've got the tide book right over here.
[phone beeps.]
from a cop to a coastie.
I guess we know david's type.
I assume it was david's idea, This latest custody thing? it was a decision we reached together.
He's just lookin' down the line At what's best for tina.
she's nearly 16.
well, she's still a minor.
she's still my daughter, And my parents' granddaughter.
look, this is an enormous burden on david, And stress is the worst thing for his condition.
yeah, well, you know what? You tell him if he doesn't want any stress He better not take me to court.
I came to accept recovery Long after it accepted me.
When I first came around here, Brought down by drugs, The last thing I wanted to do Was sit in a room full of a bunch of drunks and addicts.
It wasn't until then that I realized That I was powerless.
I could run.
Oh, yeah, I knew I could run, But there was no place on god's good earth That I could hide.
[man screaming.]
I couldn't hide the lies anymore.
[screaming continues.]
[machine beeping.]

Stop, stop, stop! morphine.
