BISHOP Need a hand there, brother? RIZ JIMENEZ I got intel from EZ. He told me Galindo was being detained at Calexico East. MAN Galindo hasn't pinged in over 26 hours.

FELIPE Maybe the one who took the pictures. Rodrigo. ADELITA Was my father really an animal? FELIPE We didn't start out that way. EZ Pop. EZ I'm gonna take off a semester. Help Pop get back on his feet. EMILY Felipe will never let you do that. EZ He needs someone. EMILY He's got Angel. EZ EMILY I'm here. He's not alone, baby, we'll figure it out. EZ All I had to do was look back to see the license plate. EMILY Don't. okay? You can't keep- EZ I should have known. EMILY It doesn't mean they would have caught the guy. It would've changed nothing. You can't blame yourself. CROWD FELIPE RODRIGO FELIPE COCO RIZ The tunnel is older than I am. My grandfather helped dig it. We get family in from Mexico. BISHOP Is Vicki muling? RIZ Nah, she just uses it to help her girls. None of them have papers. That's what I was doing tonight... Ella hadn't seen her baby in weeks. ANGEL You should have told us about it. RIZ But it's not a conflict, brother I'm not earning a penny off of it. HANK It's an illegal fucking tunnel. TAZA If anyone else fell into that hole. BISHOP We could have got a lot of people digging. Literally. Into the club. Our shit with Galindo. You fucked up. RIZ So, what happens now? BISHOP Club decision. RAMIREZ This must be overwhelming. CRISTOBAL RAMIREZ How old is he? EMILY He's 10 months. RAMIREZ He's beautiful. Mine are all grown. Enjoy this time. Kidnapping. Jesus Having him taken from you... That must've been awful. Brutal. CRISTOBAL EMILY Yes it was. RAMIREZ You're under arrest, Mrs. Galindo. Failure to report a child abduction. EMILY What? RAMIREZ Take the baby. EMILY RAMIREZ Cuff her. EMILY Cristobal. You fucking cunt. RAMIREZ Guilty. RODRIGO FELIPE Si. RODRIGO FELIPE RODRIGO FELIPE RODRIGO FELIPE EZ Sorry, I tried not to wake you. LETICIA I-I couldn't fall asleep. I have to talk to my dad, he won't pick up. EZ I'm sure he'll be back soon. LETICIA You have to take me to Celia's. EZ That's not my business. LETICIA I lied to him. Celia didn't hurt me. I did this to myself. EZ Jesus. LETICIA I don't know why get even I guess. But-But if he does anything to her, then. EZ Of course he's gonna do something. What the fuck do you think was gonna happen? LETICIA EZ Give me your mom's address. I'll check on him. LETICIA Thank you. EZ Stay here. MIGUEL POTTER No, that was right. So much more comfortable, don't you think? Inspires honest discourse. MIGUEL I requested my lawyer. POTTER Did you have a lawyer at the border? Calexico East. MIGUEL I was detained. It was a mistake. They let me go. POTTER Oh, I guess, uh, unfortunate events like that are quite frequent lately. On behalf of my Uncle Sam, I apologize, sir. MIGUEL My lawyer. POTTER The request is being processed. MIGUEL Well, until that process yields counsel, I'm afraid all I can do is sit here enjoying the, uh, comfort. POTTER You don't mind if I speak, do you? I'm a bit of a Chatty Cathy. Did you have that doll in Mexico? You're probably too wrong uhp, not that you played with dolls. I didn't mean that, but-but it's okay if you did. I embrace the rainbow. Hm. An Ivy League educated cartel boss if that's not a sign of a brave new world, I don't know what is. Hm. Dual citizenship, permanent residence in the U.S., 20 acre estate, paid for in cash. El su Manufacturing interests, trucking, commercial real estate. Very impressive, señor. No wonder your mayor and local law enforcement turned a blind eye. Usted es el salvador de Santo Padre. I have to be honest with you. We didn't contact your lawyer. Under Homeland Security laws, I don't have to. I can keep you for as long as I want to. Your wife, too. EMILY Miguel! POTTER Failure to report a kidnapping is a federal crime. COCO Hey, boy scout. EZ Hey man. Letty's ask- Oh man, she's dead. COCO I know. I fucking killed her. Relax. EZ What do we do? COCO Otro día. Shit, sorry this-this must be bringing back all kinds of crazy memories. Your mom. EZ I guess. COCO What the fuck's that like, man? Remembering everything. EZ You learn to shut it down. COCO Yeah Guess you gots to. Can't change yesterday, can't plan tomorrow. I might walk out of this building, take a bullet to the head. Life is here. This. No matter what it looks like, it's all we got, right? No regrets. EZ Even for that? COCO Especially that. I didn't murder a whore. I freed my mother. Gave her some peace. Took away the noise. EZ That's one way to look at it. COCO It's the only way, Ezekiel. If I see this as a fuck up, something horrible. I lose my truth. I got to trust that all this shit was supposed to happen. EZ So we don't ever make mistakes? COCO Of course we do. Mistakes are more important than getting it right. But they're still supposed to happen. It all leads into the next right thing. EZ I don't know, man. COCO What? You-you thought you were supposed to finish school, get some important job, a big ol' house up in Marin? As fucked up as it was, shooting that cop- that was your truth. It had to happen. It led you to this. All that other shit. it ain't real. It ain't even a memory. That's the fucking noise, man. EZ Angel. COCO Yeah. ANGEL Where the hell are you? EZ I'm with Coco, at his mom's. ANGEL Celia having a circle jerk? EZ Something like that. ANGEL Tell Coco we need him back here. We got a Templo sit down. EZ I'll let him know. ANGEL Fuck you. EZ They need you at the table. COCO Okay. how's my kid? EZ Had her stay in my trailer. I went to my dad's. She's been calling you. COCO Yeah, I know. I I can't let her see Celia like this, you know. I'll tell her, but but not here. EZ She's supposed to stay at the yard, but I better stick around. COCO Thank you. Once it gets dark, I'll gonna take her to the desert and bury her. She fucking hated the desert. HIMLER Kj. JIMENEZ What's going on? HIMLER Galindo got cut loose from Calexico. Potter was afraid it might be NSA, CIA didn't wanna take the chance of losing him again. He picked him up last night at the house. JIMENEZ Jesus. HIMLER Doj wants Galindo on a string. Help spin the Mexican turmoil in the right direction. They'll use any leverage they got to force that deal. JIMENEZ EZ's intel. HIMLER It could be exposed. EMILY Where is Cristóbal? RAMIREZ Nearby. He's in good care. EMILY I want to see my lawyer and I want to see my son. BOWEN You don't make demands. You're lucky you're not in a cell. EMILY I am not in a cell because this is all bullshit. You didn't charge Miguel which means you just want something. And you think you can use me as leverage. BOWEN What, why isn't she behind a table? RAMIREZ Potter likes the informality. BOWEN Jesus eight years ago you had an abortion. Was EZ Reyes the father? EMILY Are you fucking kidding me? BOWEN It's a simple yes or no question. POTTER No, Agent Bowen, it's not. That's tactless, ham-fisted. And now you've put Ms. Thomas on the defensive. Undermining the whole comfort strategy. Apologies. RAMIREZ Let's go, Bowen. BOWEN Yeah. POTTER I assure you that was not some kind of good cop, bad cop routine. I genuinely dislike that man. EMILY Just tell me what the fuck is happening. POTTER You're right. We have no hard evidence. There is nothing that can actually convict you or your husband. EMILY Well, that seems a bit counterintuitive for the Department of Justice. POTTER True but it could be our counterintuitive counterparts- Homeland Security, Drug Enforcement, the Mexican Government. EMILY What do you want with Miguel? POTTER A future. I don't want to bring your husband down, señora. I want to build him up. Empower him. El diablo el que tú conoces. EMILY Shit. You just want him in your pocket. POTTER No, we want a partner. MIGUEL Where's my wife? POTTER Two rooms down. Equally comfortable. MIGUEL Leave my family out of this. POTTER It's all about your family. That's the only reason I'm here. Seven years ago, I was moments away from shutting down one of the largest arms dealers on the west coast. Culmination of a three-year RICO investigation. The Real IRA and their leather-clad salesmen, Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. But before that could happen, fate intervened. I was informed by powers greater than myself - that the Irish guns must keep flowing. They were needed to ensure that the Galindo Cartel didn't lose their grip on the Sonora heroin trade. MIGUEL My father's deal with the CIA. POTTER Yes. Back when relationships with narcotraficantes were more, uh, synergetic. MIGUEL And you want that synergy with me. POTTER When that RICO case shattered, I nearly traded in my wings. But I needed to understand what happened and why. I requested a training sabbatical with our Foreign Affairs Division in Mexico City. I immersed myself in the culture, learned the language, got to know key players in Mexico's ever-shifting power structure. Five years later, my, uh, somewhat obsessive nature secured me the racist moniker -El gabacho azteca. It's ironic. No it's just sad. How a little bit of knowledge can become so powerful when surrounded by ignorance. MIGUEL Yeah, I don't give a shit. Just tell me what you want. POTTER The thing we all want. Peace of mind. Stability. Yesterday afternoon, Los Olvidados pulled off another coordinated attack on your heroin facilities. They are an ever increasing threat to your control of both Sonora and the East Cali border. Growing stronger every day. Inspiring a dangerous resurgence of Neozapatism. These terrorists, they, uh, they live and die by their own rules. There is never a compromise to put on the table. MIGUEL No, I've seen those compromises. The CIA crushed my father. That deal threatened everything- his business, his friendships. It put him in an early grave. POTTER Ah but you can change all that. Turn blood into imported wine. MIGUEL Fuck you. Charge me or release me. POTTER So much for comfort and cordiality. EZ Mom! MAN Yeah, I'm parked around the corner. LETICIA Celia? EZ Shit. LETICIA You there? EZ Be right there. LETICIA Coco. EZ Hey. LETICIA Hey. EZ Sorry. Was taking a shit. LETICIA Ew. EZ Coco wants you back at the yard. LETICIA I thought he was here. Why does he want me back there? EZ I don't ask questions. LETICIA Did you tell him? EZ Didn't get a chance. How'd you get here? You two have been spending a lot of time together. LETICIA Again, ew. EZ Take her back to the scrapyard, Chucky. CHUCKY Return trip. Gets no lip. LETICIA Oh. Great. Now we're rhyming. EZ I'll be right behind you. EZ Ooh. My bad. RAMIREZ POTTER RAMIREZ POTTER Ah. RAMIREZ Would you like more tea? EMILY I'm guessing things aren't going so well in the other room. You all seem a little restless. POTTER EMILY Please stop doing that. POTTER I'm sorry. Spectrum stuff. I'm just, uh, just trying to understand how you ended up here, Ms. Thomas. EMILY The bitch bringing me tea set me up. POTTER In the bigger picture, Mrs. Galindo. I have no doubt that what happened with you and Ezekiel Reyes was was devastating. But, you were young, resilient, so smart. Was it just a cosmic "fuck you" to the silly pale people being crushed by their own mundanity? I understand that. I really do. Needing something bigger, bolder. More dangerous. EMILY Or I fell in love. POTTER Yes. Amor. The uninvited guest to destiny's party. So simple, yet so powerful. EMILY You're very entertaining, Mr. Potter. And I'm sure beneath that mask of eccentricity, you're just as scared as the rest of us. But, no matter what loss you threaten me with, or what gift you promise to deliver I won't turn on my husband. And if you really did your research, you would already know that. BOWEN We're on the same team here. We're trying to get this to the same point. And you marching in here like this is not going to help anything. Do you understand me? It's not gonna help anything. I'm just making sure that we are all on the same team here. We have to protect the process. JIMENEZ Who protects EZ? BOWEN We picked up Galindo because of your intel. JIMENEZ Right after you tell me our deal is still in play. After you promised me that my man wouldn't be compromised! You feed him to the tigers yet? HIMLER Kj, don't do this. JIMENEZ So, if we don't punish drug traffickers, Mr. Potter. What is it we do? What's the badge for? We risk our lives. Ruin our marriages, our health! For what?! I'm leaving. But I got plenty more intel, so Maybe you can wait a few days. Read about it on Wikileaks. Or maybe in the Washington Post. I'm gonna blow this shit up. POTTER This is very unsettling. And dangerous. BOWEN He's my problem. And I'll handle it. POTTER Your problem has become my problem. So, now I handle it. EZ Hey, Pop. FELIPE You with the MC? EZ Just heading back. FELIPE Don't. EZ Why? What's going on? FELIPE Not over the phone. Get to the house. BISHOP Keeping this from the club, it erodes trust. And inside this current crucible that's very dangerous Anything you wanna say? RIZ I didn't think I was hiding anything. But, I get it. TAZA Here's what's on the table. We let Riz stay a full patch. All privileges. But he loses his office. We vote in a new secretary. And the club takes ten percent of all that revenue from that tunnel. That includes Vicki's whores. RIZ That's not my money. HANK Then we shut it down. And it's no one's money. BISHOP All in favor? COCO You ratted on Riz? ANGEL To protect you. Bishop thought you were the fucking mole, that your covert family shit was about the rebels. COCO I told them what it was. ANGEL After I fucking saved your ass. COCO You didn't do it to save my ass, you did it to save your own. Any heat on me, means heat on you. GILLY You don't take it to us first? ANGEL I didn't have time! I tried to fucking tell you, I just thought that- COCO You don't think. You never do. Your dance with Adelita. Your dick's gonna get us into a shallow fucking grave. ANGEL RIZ Hey! Hey, Angel! Coming to me first, that would've been the respectful play. But you had to be a bitch. Tell Daddy, huh? ANGEL COCO It wasn't just Angel. It was all of us. GILLY We all took it to Bishop. RIZ You're all just a bunch of fucking pussies. COCO You know you now have to kick the shit out of him, right? ANGEL Yep. COCO I'll catch up. GILLY How do we know that guy isn't some kind of serial killer? ANGEL Apparently only a chronic masturbater. GILLY I didn't need to know that. EZ The things I gave you on Galindo. They were true, but hardly enough- JIMENEZ It's not about building a case. He'll use it as leverage. Show Galindo enough to make him realize he's been under a microscope. Get him scared. FELIPE And this US attorney, he'd give the cartel a name. EZ He wouldn't have to. If my deal is gone, I'll be back inside. DOJ won't give a shit about protecting me. JIMENEZ Or the DEA. You'll be dead before you're assigned a cell. FELIPE Jesus Christ. JIMENEZ I never thought I'd say this, but you need to run, primo. Get whatever you got and go. I can get you some IDs, a decent passport. FELIPE Where is he gonna go? EZ I'm not running. If they find out it's me. Angel brought me in. The MC will think he's a part of it. They'll kill him, too. FELIPE What are you gonna do? EZ EMILY What is this? POTTER Most of it is the ramblings of a beautiful mind. You should, uh, just look at the highlighted entries. EMILY Who gave you this information? POTTER Someone we know and love. Highlights, if they're corroborated, could lead to charges. I just need a simple acknowledgement of your husband's participation in the crime. Or maybe something similar. Don't need a lot of detail, just date and location. EMILY We really still doing this? What is this?! POTTER I apologize for the current state of family services. Budget cuts. Awful. This is the bullshit kidnapping charge that will get thrown out in court. But, just filing it allows us to take away your son. And with the backlog of cases. EMILY You You can't fucking do this. POTTER Yes, I can. See? No more mask of eccentricity. Just raw legal power. A kidnapping case that dovetails into a border issue? Unravelling that in this reality show? Your son will be with us until the clown leaves the party. EMILY You can't do this- BOWEN It's a first draft. POTTER All I need. RAMIREZ Home screen. Hit comfort zone two. POTTER Gracias. POTTER Here's the deal. So many pages, I apologize. Legal reibbons and bows. The meat of it. We promise to keep you instated as reigning heroin king. You own Sonora and the East Cali border. We'll also supply man power and weapons to crush Los Olvidados, and any, uh, cartel threats that might pop up. We'll also get rid of any EPA snags slowing down your Santo Padre Agra-Park project. For us, we, uh, we reinstate balance, and, uh, protect our interests. Occasionally, we might need your product. Tends to be a valuable currency in certain markets. And, uh, sometimes we'll need information on certain associates. Other, "most interesting men in the world," like yourself. But, nothing to crush you, or undermine your assent to sainthood. I know. "Charge me or release me." EMILY MIGUEL What did you do? POTTER King Solomon. An ancient move, but an effective one. The, uh, the folder she's looking at is the kidnapping charge. It won't hold up in court, but it will be enough to keep your son in our care. MIGUEL You can't just take my- POTTER Wake up, little Mikey! Wake the fuck up! You're living in papi's world. The other folder is dirt on you. Random shit. But, with her testimony, it's enough to put you in jail. So, your lovely albino bride has a choice to make. Her man. Or her child. MIGUEL You can't make her do that. POTTER You have five minutes to thumb through it. If it's not signed by the time I get back, you make her decide your fate. MIGUEL Oh, so is this part of your brave new world? You really think this changes anything? POTTER That's the point, Miguel... We don't like change. We never have. EMILY MIGUEL EMILY RAMIREZ You can talk to your lawyer now. BISHOP Ride okay? ALVAREZ Bike is losing torque. Just like the fucking rider. BISHOP ALVAREZ Talked to Devante a few miles back. That shit with Galindo is getting more complicated. Gonna need a full table. BISHOP Yeah. We're all here. CREEPER Who the hell was it? ALVAREZ U.S. Attorney's office, DEA, Mexican Feds. Full fucking parade, man. ANGEL They charge him? BISHOP At that level, you don't need charges. ALVAREZ Devante just got done talking to the wife. They rattled her. She told them some very disturbing shit. EZ Is she okay? CHUCKY I don't know. She was talking to Coco for a while, then El Padrino showed up. They're all in the Templo now. It's tense. BISHOP You want me to set this up? I'll make sure we do it right. HANK Needs to be on neutral ground. Maybe the casino. Private room. ALVAREZ The Prospect where is he? ANGEL Noto sure. HANK I'll find him. HANK Prospect. Relax, Einstein. El Padrino's Road King is spitting oil. He needs a new base casket. EZ Base casket? HANK Yeah. EZ Okay. I'll do it right now. BISHOP In the dark? EZ Or tomorrow. I can do it tomorrow. Put it on a lift. I can do that now. Okay. HANK He's walking that fine line between genius and just fucking weird. MEN FELIPE What are your brother? EZ He's fine. He doesn't know anything. It's all good. For now. FELIPE Okay. EZ Don't worry Pop. FELIPE I'm here if you need anything. EZ I know. Good night. MEN JIMENEZ He wasn't compromised. FELIPE No. Angel told him that Galindo was cut loose. Feds let him go. JIMENEZ Our boy got lucky. FELIPE That mean the DEA deal is still in play? JIMENEZ If it is, I won't be his handler. After today. I'm done. FELIPE Sorry. JIMENEZ It's okay. Guess I'mma have to find another way to work on my daddy shit. Take care of yourself, Felipe. FELIPE You too, son. CROWD BISHOP Hey, man, turn it off, end it. CROWD ANGEL Good? RIZ Yeah. Winner. ANGEL All right, I'm cut homie. MIGUEL I'm so sorry, my love. EMILY There is no sorry. We were in this together. Fuck these assholes. MIGUEL You talk to Devante and the lawyers? EMILY Wasn't much to say. Everything Potter threw at me was just beautiful mind bullshit. MIGUEL And the dirt on me? EMILY None of the intel was real. MIGUEL 'Cause they have nothing. EMILY Yeah now they do. MAN MIGUEL Look, I won't let them do to me, what they did to my father. EMILY They own us, Miguel. They can touch everything we have. Everyone we know. MIGUEL Not everyone. Look, these ignorant fucking puppeteers are going to find out what it feels like to be played. I've got two thousand forgotten soldiers just waiting for a devil to lead them. MAN POTTER Hm. COCO You look good in the cage, man. Like an ugly, skinny, uh, Conor McGregor. MEN ANGEL That's so fucking kind. Thank you. GILLY What do you think this Galindo sitdown's about? COCO If we're doing it on neutral turf, he has a third party. He wants to make them feel safe. EZ Feds? ANGEL I don't know but, whatever it is, I gotta give Adelita a heads up. COCO You mind giving Celia a ride? ANGEL Nah. Gotta head out to the desert anyhow. EZ I know who's digging the hole. GILLY Think you should make it heart-shaped. COCO Nah you should make it look like a- like a big dick. You know, it'd be a nice change. Her being inside one. Instead of one inside her. ANGEL Damn, bro. COCO What? Too soon? ANGEL Go be with your kid. Don't let her fuck Chucky. COCO Yeah? ANGEL Hey! RODRIGO NESTOR RODRIGO NESTOR RODRIGO EZ Oh man that's nasty. ANGEL You know the only thing oozing out this bitch is cum and wine coolers. EZ That doesn't help. ANGEL Shit! EZ Oh. ANGEL Damn! EZ You okay? ANGEL Fucking rat. SONG ANGEL Shit who is it? EZ Local.
