Russo: Couple of fishermen
just pulled a g*n

out of the Colorado River

40 yards
from where we found Maya.

Garrett: Any prints?

He woke up jaundiced
this morning.

Is it hard to breathe?

Thony got involved in something,

and now she's helping
the FBI take down a criminal.

I don't want our daughter
anywhere near Thony.

I was a surgeon in Manila.
I still have contacts there.

You want to traffic dr*gs
out of the Philippines

in the middle of a drug w*r?

Must be very difficult
to see Luca sick again.

If there is any liver damage,
there's a new drug here.

It's called Hepatic Peptin.

I want to try to find ways
to get affordable medicine

for people who need them.

We can get in a lot of trouble
for these.

This is the name of a man
who's been known to take bribes.

He'll do what you're asking for.

That's a marriage certificate
for Robert and Nadia Kamdar.

I'm gonna k*ll Kamdar.

When he dies, everything he owns
will belong to you... his wife.

And you have the rest
of the meds for Luca?

So the rest are on a cargo ship
bound for Long Beach.

I mean, how are you ever gonna
get out of this?

I don't know.

How?

With what money,

After all I've done for you

you're gonna question me now?

Things are different today.

I know you want to help,

We need to arrest him now.

That's jumping the g*n, Miller.

You and I both know
that he pulled that trigger.

22 other potential matches
will contradict

that in a court of law.

You mean 22 random suspects
with no reason to m*rder Maya?

You could say the same thing
about Morales.

No, hey, that's not true.

The second that Arman
found out that Maya

used to be my informant,
she turned up dead.

Because he was afraid
that she was gonna rat him out.

My guess is that
he k*lled Hayak.

He k*lled Maya.

He has screwed us
over a thousand times.

This is our chance
to finally nail him.

You go off emotion,
you blow the case.

Just like Cortés.

That wasn't justice.

That was sloppy, and that's
not how we do our jobs.

You are so stuck on revenge
right now

that you can't see
the big picture,

and that is to get Kamdar
and everyone he's connected to.

We've made some headway
on the ledger.

We have a pretty good idea
who some of the players are.

If we're right, Kamdar's backing

one of the biggest
human-trafficking rings

dr*gs, prostitution.

We take him down,
we can dismantle

half a dozen
syndicates in Vegas.

Didn't he already get
a transplant in Mexico?

Yes, he did, but...

his liver is failing now

I need Kamdar because
I need those meds.

So now Robert's your hero,

We want to help your boy, Thony.

We do, and we have.

But we can't keep putting
our lives on the line for you,

Thony?

You think you're in control,

Well, what if it was Jaz
out there with those men?

What would we have done then?

This can't happen again.

No more.

You either live your life
with Thony

or live it with your daughter.

N-No, I just...

Make the right choice.

I don't want to have
to make it for you.

I just... [Crying]

Listen, please, just...

Robert. Oh.

Ay, dios mío.

Thank God you're awake.

Huh.

[Sighs]

What happened?

They said you had
a cardiac arrest.

I've never had an issue
with my heart.

Joseph: The doctors tested
your blood for toxins,

but they didn't find anything.

Get them to run the test again,

but this time, check everything
that could've caused this.

Hey.

Is JD okay?

He left.

Fi, I am so sorry.

I didn't know Kamdar's guy
would do something like this.

But you knew he was there.

JD's right.

W-W-We can't keep doing this.

But he wants me to choose...
Jaz or you.

What did you tell him?

I didn't.

I understand why you did it.

That might be true.

I could take you in for Maya,
for all the other murders

you committed,
for the dr*gs, the g*ns,

and Thony lying for you.

You both deserve to go down.

♪♪

But I'm not gonna do that
because Kamdar's a bigger fish,

and I need you to help me
take him down.

But the minute that either
of you gets in the way of that,

the second that you are
no longer useful to me,

I will bury you.
