Previously, on "sh**t"...

I've known you a long time now,

and the woman I see
is not the woman I once knew.

You're jumpy and you snap at Mary.

What are you doing?

You're saying I have PTSD.

Nice grouping, sweetheart.

You mind if I see how she handles?

Yeah, actually.

Don't have to be a bitch about it.

Move along, sweetheart.

Ouch!

[yelling]

You were right about one thing:

a bunch of t*rrorists
looking to k*ll some Marines.

Atlas exists, and they're coming.

- Marshals are pulling up. Let's move.
- Time to go.

Aren't we gonna wait for the Marshals?

- No.
- We're on our own now.

Zehnder said the cartels

were in bed with a shadowy organization

called Atlas.
Said they even shared a banker...

Some fancy Wharton guy down in Mexico.

That's the group Alexi
said Solotov works for.


Did you talk to Solotov?

- I did.
- Zero out his accounts.

- Open it.
- It's time to go.

What are these? Accounts, passwords?

- Ali, come in.
- He's in the truck with me.

- What the hell?
- He was dead anyway.
