Memory lane and barking dogs aside, here's the name of the game today.
This file got Emily's m*rder investigation reopened, and the bug installed.
If we can pick up someone on probable cause tonight, we'll be one step closer to making arrests.
And I'm not just talking about Em's k*ller.
I'm talking about the entire Northside Nation power structure.
Clean sweep, brother.
Uh, why is Geri in here?
I was about to ask you the same thing.
Are you seeing this?
WALKER: Yeah.
I-I'm looking at the file right now.
Cordell?
Son of a...
(MUTTERING)
- Okay, why don't I feel good about this?
- Because it's not good.
The hush money Northside Nation paid Carlos...
it was laundered through Geri and The Side Step.
- What?
- She's been a person of interest and MIA until...
right now.
Geri?
(STAMMERS)
Hoyt and Geri.
Emily and Geri.
Helping Emily take supplies to the border Geri.
Well, she was there the night of Emily's m*rder...
Geri.
- You don't really think... ?
- I don't know, man.
Think about it.
You got Emily and Geri working the border for humanitarian aid.
NSN works the border moving dr*gs and g*ns.
And Geri's cleaning their money?
Maybe Em figured out what Geri was mixed up in, and just...
And became a loose end.
Yeah.
All right.
Geri can't go in that game.
- Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
- Here.
Now, now, hey!
Geri.
What the hell are you doing here?
Look, look, I know...
I know how this looks.
- Just...
- No, no.
(STAMMERS)
Stop!
Know how it looks?
We-we know.
We know about the money laundering.
About what you did in the bar you sold to my children.
Are you kidding me, Cordi?
After everything we've been through.
No, no, no, no, don't-don't go to that well.
I took a bad loan, okay?
It turned out to be NSN.
I'm here to pay it back.
That's all, that is it.
Anyone else, I would see this as-as convoluted, contrived, a cover-up.
- Maybe not your first.
- You can't be serious.
You think I like what I'm saying?
Geri, you-you were with Em that night.
You-you happened to be taking supplies down the road, didn't see anything?
Yeah?
- Then the money to Carlos.
- I didn't know about that!
- Just give me something.
- I didn't know.
- You were the last one to see my wife.
- Okay.
Just ask what you're gonna ask.
Do it.
Did I k*ll Emily?
Is that what you want to know?
No, I didn't k*ll my best friend!
And if I knew who did, I'd k*ll them myself.

She was just bringing people water.
And crossing over our routes.
We weren't expecting company.
Why her?
'Cause we hit a pothole.
Busted a crate of painkillers.
Got out to check the damage.
Just five pills, spilled on the ground.
But there she was.
Had her phone out.
Looked like a talker.
I guess that's why.
Don't, don't.
It won't bring you peace.
I won't know until she's dead, James.
Walker, listen to me.
Please.
We bring her in.
We find out what else she knows.
We find out how many

- Mm...
Think about your kids, man.
Think about Stella and Augie, all right?
She's not worth throwing away everything you've fought for.

What?
Heard a Ranger's family was in need.
I told her there was no replacing her, by the way.
