Let's talk about that business opportunity.

Some Vietnamese got a place over on Front Street in National City.

Pill mill.

If we don't pull a job soon, we're gonna run out of money.

I got something we can do right now.

J: This place pulls in over 100 grand a week.

Security bars on the windows and the door.

The bank.

Two guys inside, both with handguns.

We can't go in through the front.

They're just gonna lock themselves in the back before we can even get to them.

Yep.

You're Clark Lincoln.

You signed my KTM hat at the X Games in L.A., like, 10 years ago, man.

I wore that thing till it fell apart.

You pulled a job?

Who did you use?

Deran: Ox and Colby.



Dylan: She took...

She took my coke, okay?

[ Grunts ]

Jesus Christ.

Hey, I'm Nicky.

I know.

Nicky, stop.

Nicky: Wait, w-what's going on?

I'm...

I'm really sorry about earlier, okay?

Mia: I need a place to crash.

I'll have to ask Smurf.

Smurf's in jail.



I'll take the couch.

Goodwin: My client has been here for weeks and the evidentiary hearing keeps getting pushed.

Come on, Jackie.

We requested extra time to research applicable law.

Bullshit.

She can't do that.

They can.

They can, but not forever.

Now, let's, uh...

Let's talk about my 995 motion.

Your 995...

The stuff about probable cause isn't enough...

Why haven't we been given the ballistics report yet?

You will.

There's a process.

Listen, you wanna go to the mattresses over a reasonable basis test...

I think you haven't released the ballistics report because you don't like what it says.

As you can see, my client is understandably passionate about her defense.

Now, getting back to P.C.

... Have you looked for other suspects?

We're comfortable with our theory of the crime.

Then why do you have a state detective present at my legal conference?

What's the matter there, Pearce?

You run out of illegals to round up down at the 7-Eleven?

This isn't helping.

I'm asking the questions that you should be asking.



Let's make this simple, Jackie.

Evidentiary hearing and discovery this week, or release my client.



Goodbye.



Oh, my God.

Bacon is ridiculous.



Still there?

Mm.

J: Third day in a row.

Nicky: Is that why we're, uh, buying groceries we don't need?

Something like that.



So what's the job?



Come on, J.

It's better if you don't know in case the cops show up.

No.

I can contribute.

There will be something for you.



So, what's the deal with, uh, Mia?



What?

The girl that, uh, cold-cocked a drug dealer.

The girl you let sleep on our couch.

She's a friend of Smurf's.

Oh, really?

Smurf and an 18-year-old chola are friends?

Look, she's who I have to pay to protect Smurf in prison, okay?

But you can't tell the others that.

If they find out that that's where the money's going...

We just don't need the drama.



You know, they're all gonna think that you're doing her.

[ Sighs ]





Goodwin: You should let me do my job.

They don't have a damn thing on me.

You sure?

The b*llet that k*lled Javi Cano did not come from my g*n.

Goodwin: I'm going to assume you're speaking hypothetically because, absent evidence, the only way someone would be certain of that is if they were present at the time Mr.

Cano got sh*t.

And I'm certain you are not gonna tell me that.

What is your plan?

Accusing them of withholding exculpatory information is serious, especially when you do it to the D.A.'s face.

Am I wrong?

That isn't the point.

No, it is exactly the point!

All right, listen.

Let's say, hypothetically, they are trying to find something else to charge you with.

Will they?

No.

Great.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

[ Door closes ]

I can't keep the delay tactics going forever.

I have surveillance on her boys now.

I need more time.

Yeah, we'd all love a little more time.

Unfortunately, there's this thing called the Constitution.

You can't keep people in prison indefinitely until you find something else to charge them with.

One of the b*ll*ts in Javi Cano's head was from Smurf's g*n.

You mean the one that entered after he was already dead?

I've got a dozen other cases in front of this judge.

I am not blowing my credibility with him over this.

Mm.

No cilantro.

Craig: Oh, and O.J.

You know, some guy came into the bar the other day asking for a screwdriver with turmeric in it.

Turmeric?

Wow.

Family breakfast.

What's the occasion?

Craig: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Who's that?

Just a friend.

Tapatío.

You got someone staying here?

People don't stay here.

Craig: I have people stay here.

Girls you bang.

Was that police tail still on you this morning?

Third day in a row.

No one else has a tail?

Craig: Unh-unh.

You sure?

Yo, if J can spot a tail, I sure as hell can.

Okay.

Good.

So there's one tail.

Let's take it to the garage.

Okay, so, the truck's gonna be there, right?

Craig: The truck will be there.

Car's insured?

Yes, the car is insured.

Because I'm not an idiot.

What?

Someone asks if I've done a basic, obvious task, it implies I'm being an idiot.

Well, you're not being an idiot, but you are being a little bitch.

Why, because I'm the only one that thinks this job is bullshit?

Oh, here we go.

A security guard outside, J's got a tail literally waiting for us to come out right now.

I'm just saying, those sound like significant risk factors to me.

J: I know.

It's covered.

Yeah?

Okay.

It's covered.

Craig: [ Coughs ]

It'll be fine.

Yeah.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Pope: You know...

the night before a job, you invite someone into the house?

It was a last-minute thing.

Yeah, it was.

It was.



You know what you're doing?



The steel door...

Which way does it swing?

Toward the back.

You are 100 percent about that?

Because Deran is right...

The second the guys hear something on the inside, they're gonna make a move.

I vouched for you on this.

I saw a panic bar.

You know, the thing in the middle of the door...

I know what a panic bar is.

Well, I saw one, okay?

The door swings toward the back.

And how far from the back wall is this door?

18 to 20 feet.



I got this.



Okay.



Okay.













Craig: Yo, bitchin' ride.

Could've gotten a Porsche.

You wanna pay 25 percent of that?

Pope: How'd you get this thing past emissions?

I know a guy.

What, a guy with a broken smog checker?

It starts and it goes.

It's perfect.



[ Engine starts ]





[ Engine starts ]



We got him?

We got him.



Grey sedan.

Pope: Yep.

Craig: It pisses me off.

The tail.

He's supposed to be a professional.

See without being seen.

It's just, you know..

learn your craft.

That girl you have at the house...

Mia?

What about her?

Yeah.

Deran: Yeah, I know you didn't go to high school with her.

She's got juvie written all over her.

What's her deal?

I, uh...

I hooked up with her at a party.

But you can't tell Nicky, okay?

I told her I'm just helping a friend out.

Okay, you know what?

What we do is hard enough...

without relationship problems.

sh1t'll ruin your life.

I'm handling it.

But thanks.





[ Engine shuts off ]





Deran: We're in position.

You awake over there?

Craig: Yeah, I see you.

Okay, good.

All right, we're waiting on the signal.

Nothing was stolen.

Nobody tried to steal anything.

Pearce: Last I checked, calling in a false alarm was a felony.

[ Sighs ]

The phone that called it in?

Burner.

The car accident?

They exchanged insurance info.

And they filed...

Got a police report to submit to the insurance company.

Yep.

So the Cody family's 40 miles from home, all this crap happens...

and for no reason.

And we didn't have to catch a bunch of sh1t the whole time like we did with Baz.

If it's $100,000, it should be...

It's $98,000.

Fine.

Minus our cuts, that's $86,000.

You need $86,000 to pay some bills?

Yeah.

And that'll only last us a couple of weeks.

How much is Smurf getting paid?

Zero.

Look, we've all got bills to pay.

Okay, well, I have employees to pay.

There's an extra $1,500.

Yeah.

I had never seen him outside of algebra.

Hell, I had never ever heard him talk before.

But we go behind the liquor store and drink beer and make out.

It was awesome.

And he buys two boxes right there.

You took those supplements I told you about?

I did.

Any side effects?

None so far.

That's great.

My lawyer needs to see you.

Yeah, I'll pay him a visit soon.

It's hard to run a business all by yourself, isn't it?

Everybody chipped in.

And they all took the right dose?

'Cause, you know, if you take just a little bit more than you should, it can be very dangerous.

Everyone's good.

We have a visitor.

Oh?

Billy?
