[OWEN CRYING] I f*cked up.

I'm sorry.

[ALAN]
Owen Frawley was found dead.

Lady Castro, have you heard
of a place called Cape Cod?

[OSITO] I got a new connect.

Figured me and you
could wipe the slate clean.

I just brought in Chanice Bailly.

Who k*lled Jorge?

It was Renee.

You disappeared her once,
you can disappear her again.

Look, if she's not here,
there's no case.


Now, where's your stash?

[RACHEL] It's just not fair
how Renee treated you.


I'll take care of her.

[SHANE] An old soldier like yourself,
you'll be very useful to us.

Let me get my house in order,
and I'll get back to you.

[ALAN] Swayzee's alibi checks out
for the Petey m*rder.

And Tom Dolan over at Fall Brook

says they don't have much else.

What is it about this case?

[JACKIE] I think Veronica
stole something from a John.

She traded it to Petey for dr*gs,

and that's what got him k*lled.

- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- [JACKIE] Is that a bayonet?

- Back!
