08:10any leads your mules my dead bodies were all filipino nurses here legally only yours were
08:17lucky you found them first mine i think they were murdered because they couldn't pass the heroin

26:51Pretty bad.
26:53You said you'd help me go out with a bang.
26:59One screw-up to another.
27:01I bought a recruit in me when I was 13.
27:11For sex.
27:14Now he's making people smuggle drugs.
27:18They think he's murdered someone.
27:24I overheard him earlier today.
27:27He's got a big sale planned tonight.
27:30Unloading all of his heroin.
27:32That means he's got to go back to his house to get his stash.
27:34I'll call Honda.
27:47It's been over an hour.
27:50We play this out.
27:52Our bottles are linked to Javier's son and the others.
27:54Let's get him easy. Let's get him alive.
28:01Man on the hour, 12 o'clock.
28:04Let's go.
28:20Check him.
28:22Our bottle's dead.
28:25We need this guy alive.
28:28We need this guy alive.
28:47Where are the hostages?
28:50You get anything from our bottle's killer?
28:52Murdo Wick. Hit man on the cheek.
28:55Murderer's name is Murdo?
28:57Guess his mama was psychic.
28:59Lawyered up like the other guy.
29:01Whoever's running this thing knows how to cover their tracks.
29:03Takes serious cash.
29:05Yes, it does.
29:07Nice suit. Just like the other guy.
29:12Okay.
29:13Save A-list, let's go.
29:16Okay.
29:17Save A-list law firm.
29:19Attorneys for the guy we grabbed at the drug house and Arvado's killer.
29:22Question is, who's paying the bills?
29:25Our middle man, Robert Miller's bank statement.
29:28He paid that firm a retainer fee.
29:30Arvado was the recruiter, but Miller was the money.
29:33He used the nurses as a pipeline for the Herald.
29:35I'll get a warrant. Honda.
29:38Something else.
29:39Trey Smith? The guy Street got into it with?
29:42Yeah.
29:46You want me to...
29:48No.
29:50No, I'll deal with it.
29:52Why risk your career for him?
29:55I've been there, Jess.
29:58Not with swatches.
30:01Things can grab a hold of you and make you feel like you can't trust anyone.
30:05Until you learn to again.
30:08I'll let you know when we get Miller.
30:16Is my husband in some kind of trouble?
30:19We need to talk to him about murder, heroin, and human trafficking.
30:22So, maybe.
30:24Is this a joke?
30:26I swear Mr. Miller isn't here.
30:28Well, where is he then?
30:30I don't know. He left a couple of hours ago.
30:33Trust me, I would never lie to SWAT.
30:40You know, you got all the moves in the field.
30:42People like you. Seriously.
30:44And if you stopped shooting yourself in the foot, you'd be really good at all of this.
30:47I know.
30:49At least you're humble.
30:55Honda, he's not around.
30:57All right, thanks.
30:59Your husband's not at the office.
31:01He's not here either.
31:02Yeah, nothing.
31:03Nope.
31:04Where is he, ma'am?
31:06This is a mistake.
31:08This is a mistake.
31:10Robert would never...
31:12He's a good man.
31:14And these things...
31:16And to my people, it's not possible.
31:19His name is Paul.
31:21His father, Javier, brought him here for a better life, and now he's missing.
31:24Your husband knows where he is.
31:28Robert has a private cell.
31:30Just for me.
31:31Why don't I just call him?
31:33Show you that you're wrong about him.
31:37Just ask him where he is.
31:39Put it on speaker.
31:42Hello?
31:43Robert?
31:44Where are you?
31:46Where is he?
31:47English.
31:48This is him.
31:49At the country club.
31:51Sorry, you're breaking up.
31:53Where?
31:54The country club.
31:55Drinks with some investors.
31:57That's all I told you.
31:58Okay.
31:59See you when you get home.
32:00I love you.
32:01Love you too.
32:02See you soon.
32:03What's the name of the club?
32:05Valencia.
32:06Let's go.
32:07See, I told you.
32:08This is all just a big mistake.
32:10The dealer's dead.
32:11I got a bunch of immigrants with heroin inside them, and I go out for drinks at a country club?
32:14The dealer thinks he's untouchable.
32:15Also has the means to hire firepower.
32:17A hitman.
32:18We find him, watch yourselves.
32:19Hey, you don't want to end up looking like Street.
32:21Can't miss that face.
32:23What happened to him?
32:24He pissed off the wrong retiree?
32:27I wish it was that simple.
32:29Your husband's neck deep in all this.
32:32Why should I believe you aren't?
32:34Detective, I'm going to help you with everything.
32:37Can I make us some coffee, tea?
32:39No, no.
32:40Do you two have any other properties?
32:42Not that I know of.
32:44Does he have a storage locker?
32:46Safety deposit box?
32:47We have a home safe for paperwork, passports.
32:52If there are any other properties or storage lockers, the information will be here.
32:58How much do you two discuss business?
33:05No.
33:11Marcus is conscious, but he's in rough shape.
33:13Paramedics made it in time.
33:15Listen to me.
33:16We need to find out where the Millers are headed.
33:18We're raking the office.
33:19Come on, now.
33:20We got six missing immigrants.
33:21Our only leads are on the run.
33:22We'll find something.
33:23Check this out.
33:24Hang on.
33:25Numbers, flight coordinates.
33:27Pilots logs.
33:28Hondo, Miller's a pilot.
33:30Looks like it's Cessna.
33:31Want us to alert the airport?
33:32No, wait a minute.
33:33Hold on.
33:34When Adele called her husband, she said something like San Si.
33:36So?
33:37San Si.
33:38San Si.
33:39That's the call tag for the Santa Clarita airport.
33:41All right, we're on the move.
33:47Were you followed?
33:48No.
33:49Get in the plane.
33:54Go, go, go!
34:04Go, go, go!
34:18Don't do it!
34:33Don't do it!
34:51Tell me where the nurses are right now!
34:53Get off me!
34:54Stop!
34:55Stop!
34:56I said stop!
34:57Stop!
35:02Robert!
35:03Don't say anything!
35:06Look, this was never supposed to happen.
35:08Not like this.
35:09You just wanted to make some easy money.
35:10I didn't even have to be involved.
35:11I just find the nurses jobs and Arvado would...
35:13Shut up!
35:15She's the one who introduced me to him, Arvado.
35:18You listen to me.
35:20You both are going to go down for murder.
35:22Now here's where you get to decide who gets it worse.
35:25Where are they?
35:28I'll tell you.
35:40Luca!
35:50Familia.
35:53Familia.
35:55Familia.
35:56You're safe.
35:59Your family is safe.
36:01Get them out of here.
36:02Go, go.
36:13There you go.
36:16I got someone here who's going to be really glad to see you.
36:38Hey.
36:40Let's get them some water.
36:48For finding him.
36:51Be well.
36:54I'll just get you over here when I get them checked out.
36:56Okay?
37:02Changed some minds today.
37:04Sometimes you got to take care of those who can't take care of themselves.
37:07All the time.
37:19Keep them up.
37:25All right, go.
37:26Thanks.
37:45I don't want to lose this job.
37:49I'm going to need to see some improvement then.
37:51You will.
37:58I'm not going to let it go without punishment.
37:59I know.
38:01What am I looking at?
38:03You got to let Luca stay with you until he finds another place.
38:07That doesn't seem like much of a punishment.
38:09Trust me, it will.
38:12Oh, there he is now.
38:14Luca!
38:16Yo, what's up?
38:18You're bunking in the streets.
38:19Ah, just under the wire.
38:21I thought I was going to have to go to a hotel tonight.
38:23I knew you guys would come through.
38:25Hey, Street, you live near the beach, right?
38:27You got a board?
38:28No worries, I got an extra one.
38:30Best waves are at 5am.
38:32You got Xbox or PlayStation?
38:34PlayStation.
38:35Beautiful. You pick the game, I kick your ass, buddy.
38:37We're going to get some sleep at some point, right?
38:49Who are you?
38:51Name's Hondo.
38:53I work with your son.
38:55Jimmy.
38:57Is he okay?
38:58He's fine.
39:03Have a seat.
39:09Is he working out?
39:11The job, I mean.
39:15He's got the makings of a good one.
39:19You have no idea what he's had to overcome.
39:23I'm really proud of him.
39:25You tell him I said so, okay?
39:29Karen, your son's not going to visit you for a while.
39:37You had me.
39:39Yeah?
39:40Yeah.
39:41I thought you were serious and thinking,
39:43did I do something wrong?
39:44Is Jimmy mad at me?
39:48You are a real player, aren't you?
39:53I'm not letting him get played anymore.
39:56What?
39:57The guy you sent your son to me,
39:59Trey Smith,
40:00he's your go-to for contraband.
40:02Phones, cigarettes, pills,
40:04that's the type of stuff that can give you a lot of control over what goes on in here.
40:07Only he's been selling to another inmate, Deidre,
40:09probably because she's willing to give him a bigger cut.
40:11You have no idea how hard it is
40:13and the things that you have to do to survive.
40:15You used your son to send a message,
40:17stay away from the competition.
40:19Jimmy wanted to help me, okay?
40:21I need to talk to him.
40:22That's not going to happen,
40:23not after I tell him the truth about you.
40:28Who do you think you are?
40:33Black guy, hot shot,
40:34sitting here talking to me like this?
40:41You mean nothing to him.
40:44You really think he's going to trust you over me?
40:48I saved that little ass of his.
40:50I am here because of him.
40:54Wow, lady.
40:58You are a piece of work.
41:02I wondered how street could be such a mess,
41:05but now that I've met you,
41:07I just got to wonder how you managed to turn out so good.
41:14I'm sorry.
41:17I know that you're just trying to help,
41:21and you're right about all of it.
41:24Just please,
41:26don't tell him.
41:30Okay?
41:31If you care about him as much as I do,
41:34you won't.
41:36Because it'll crush him.
41:37Don't call him anyone.
41:51You mess with him, you mess with me.
41:54My family.
42:07My family.
42:37My family.
42:38My family.
