[bunniefuu]

Male narrator: Previously
on "New York undercover..."

To finally moving
on with our lives.

Okay.

Hey, dad, I'm home.

- What? What?
- G's here.

The job forces you
to make choices.

Some of them you like,
most of them you don't.

Williams: Sounds like
you're talking from experience.

Another time, Williams.

Kaylen: Thank you
very much, everybody.

Whoo!

[Knocking on door]

[Indistinct commentary on TV]

Mm! That was horrible.

[Indistinct commentary on TV]

- Hey, chief.
- Malcolm.

- Hey.
- Can I come in?

Yeah, yeah. Sure,
sure. Come on in.

What are you doing here?

- Nice place.
- Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

Have a seat. Can
I get you anything?

- No. No, thanks.
- No?

What is that? Chicken marsala?

Mm-hmm. Turkey dinner.

You like that stuff?

Chief, I really don't think you
came all the way over here

just to discuss my
diet. Tell me what's up.

- It's about Kaylen foster.
- What about Kaylen?

He's taken up where
his old man left off,

only he's, uh, he's
moved his reign of terror

out of Harlem and into westbeth.

Come on. You...
This can't be right.

Now, Kaylen does not
have a bad bone in his body.

Maybe when you
knew him that was so,

but you have to go back under.

No! You got to be kidding me!

Look, Malcolm, I
know how you feel.

No, damn it, you don'tknow

how I feel, okay?

If you knew how I
feel, you wouldn't

be asking me to do this.

Kaylen foster is out of control.

He's not just
strong-arming people.

He's k*lling anybody who
won't go along with him,

and he's built up a power
base. And if we don't stop...

Do you know what you're
asking me to do, chief?

You are asking me
to go back into a world

that I almost
did not get out of.

- Do you remember that?
- I do remember.

But this time you won't
have to stay under that long.

[Chuckles] That's
what you said last time.

What happened then, huh?

A bunch of trigger-happy cops

who had only one
thing on their minds.

Malcolm, this time
you will call the shots.

Whatever happens is up to you.

Look, Malcolm, I
can't change the past,

and I'm fully aware
of the dangers

of sending you back under,

but I don't have
any other choice.

Neither do you.

[Theme music]

Our target is a man by
the name of Kaylen foster.

He heads a criminal
empire that extorts money

from almost every major
business in westbeth.

Our job is to put
an end to that.

Wait a minute. Kaylen foster?

- As in "pops" foster?
- His only son.

Well, I remember
when the cops k*lled him.

- I'd just got on the force.
- Why'd they take him out?

They took him out because
he was out of control, that's why.

Just like his son is now.

I was on the undercover team

that took pops out
three years ago.

That's why the chief
wants me to go under again

'cause he knows that
Kaylen will trust me.

Well, how'd you get out
without them finding out

who you really were?

Chief staged an arrest,

pulled me out before
everything went down.

So as far as they know,
I've been in prison ever since.

That's a new one. How
long were you under for?

Look, let's just stick
to here and now, okay?

These people are very paranoid.

So I'm gonna go in deep cover,

which means I'm gonna have
to have an outside contact.

Delaney, you're gonna
act as my parole officer.

I will do all my
communicating through you.

Okay.

Barker: Kaylen extorts money

in lots of ways, people.

Blackstar sanitation
is his bread and butter.

So you're gonna
start a rival company,

steal his contacts.

Now, when he comes after you,

we will bust him, and the
da will take over from there.

Stone, you got the recorder?

All plastic parts so
it can't be scanned.

Yeah, well, they
won't be scanning me.

I'm family.

[Upbeat music]

[Door opens]

Take this for me,
brother. Thank you.

Hello there, pretty lady.
How are you today?

My, my, my...

Excuse me.

Uh, where you going?

- Pardon me?
- I said, where are you going?

Oh, you-you did
say that, didn't you?

Um, o-obviously,
you're new here, huh?

Obviously, I asked
you a question.

And I think you deserve
an answer, don't you?

[Groans]

Shadow!

Well, well, well.

I don't believe it.

I was starting to
think I would never see

your ugly mug again.

Ugly, my a*s.

I'm just as pretty
as I always was.

Gq!

[Laughing] What's up, Kay?

[Laughing] I missed you, man.

- I missed you.
- I missed you, too, man.

Well, look at you. Looking good.

However, I-I see you're a
little paranoid in your old age.

Yeah, well, after
what happened to pop,

you never can be too careful.
You know what I mean?

You know what, I
never did get to tell you

how sorry I was
about pop, little brother.

Yeah, well, there's plenty
of time for that later, man.

Shadow, this is my man gq.

The man who taught
me everything I know.

You treat him with the same
respect you treat me, alright?

Yeah, right. Of course.

Yeah. Well, look at
this place, my friend!

Barker: Moving up in
the world, I see, huh?

Kaylen: Yeah.
Business is good again.

Yeah.

I'm surprised you
knew where to find me.

Come on, man,
you gotta be kidding.

All I gotta do, pick
up some local paper.

You always in there getting
some damn award or another.

Pop would've been real
proud of you there, Kay.

Yeah, maybe. Prison
treat you alright?

I'm straight, if that's
what you saying.

[Laughing] Well,
I'm glad to hear that.

And Shelly will be, too.

Look, man, why don't you
come and take a ride with me?

We got a lot of
stuff to talk about.

Yeah. Yes, I guess we do, do we?

The lieutenant spent an
entire year undercover.

Did he really? No wonder he
said he was like family to them.

Must be so hard going in. I
hope he knows what he's doing.

Yeah, me, too.

So when do you think
we'll know which one of the

businesses to target?

As soon as he leaks it to me.

Speaking of which, I should go.

Wait a minute. Guys,
guys, what is this?

Why do I get stuck
driving the trash truck?

What happened to stone?

Well, stone is setting up

shop with me.

Speaking of you and me...

- Jc...
- Please. I have an idea...

- I wanna share with you.
- Jc...

Just hear me out, okay?

Do you think that we can go back

to the way we were
when we were just friends?

Just pretend

like nothing ever happened.

No, we can't pretend
nothing ever happened.

Yeah, I know. You're right.

We didn't do anything wrong.

- Right?
- Right.

So why don't we just stop
trying to figure this out?

The only thing we're
doing is complicating things.

The reality is, you are
one of my best friends

and I don't wanna
lose a friendship over...

Neither do I.

See?

Kaylen: Three years in prison,
man? It couldn't have been easy.

Hey, but let me ask you
something, how come every time

I came to visit you,
they wouldn't let me up?

- What was up with that?
- I don't know, man.

I was probably in
solitary confinement.

I wasn't exactly the
model inmate, you know?

I gave them hell. Gave
them chumps hell, man.

Then why'd they
let you out so early?

Too many brothers,
not enough cells.

- Hm.
- Hey.

What happened over there?

You know how it is.

No, I don't.

This fool wouldn't go along
with the program, man.

- Program, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

Now, tell me, how, how
exactly do you get them

to getwith the program?

Well, it helps if
you're part of the

urban redevelopment commission.

You know what I mean?

Hey, man, if they
want the funds,

they gotta give
me my sugar first.

Then I own their asses.

Why are you looking
at me like that? What?

I'm not looking
any particular way.

But I don't know, Kay, burning
down people's businesses, man?

Extortion...

You just wasn't
always into that, man.

Hey, man, listen, I
keep the competition out,

I offer protection,
the neighborhoods

are safer. Just like
what pops used to do.

No. See, you forget
who you're talking to.

I know. I know exactlywhat
pops did, and that ain't it.

Yeah, well, you've been
gone a long time, man.

Things have changed.

Things has definitely changed.

Kaylen: He was dead
before he even hit the ground.

They wouldn't even let me go
over to him. They didn't care.

I wish I was there, man.

Well...

It's just as well you weren't.

It's the only good thing
about you getting arrested.

- Shelly did good, though.
- Yeah?

She put together a
real nice service for him.

There were over


Barker: I'm not surprised.

Freakin' cops...

Wanted him to clean
up the neighborhood.

They got a little piece of
the action for themselves.

That's why they
k*lled him, you know?

I mean, they could
have just arrested him,

but they didn't want
anybody to find out.

They didn't have to k*ll him.

No...

They didn't.

[Intense music]

[Upbeat music]

Names of three
holdouts are on that tape.

So once stone and
moreno are done with it,

make sure the da gets it.

And let me know when
Williams is in position

so I can put
Kaylen on his trail.

- I will.
- Okay.

So you doing alright?

- I'm fine. Why?
- Just asking.

Considering you were
under a year before.

It's irrelevant, detective.

Barker: You just do your job.
- I am, lieutenant.

Just keeping tabs
on you is part of it,

especially when
you're in this deep.

Then you got
nothing to worry about.

I already got a garbage guy.
Why the hell do I need you?

How's 85 a week
sound for four pickups?

[Laughing] Plus recycling?

- Part of the deal.
- What's the catch?

Catch is you have to
drop your old garbage guy,

so we can start
hauling right away.

Well, that's not gonna
be easy with those mooks.

You guys sure you
know what you're doing,

coming into westbeth?

Believe me, Mr. Benton, we know

exactly what we're doing.

Look, if security's a problem,

we can handle that, too.

What was I supposed to do, huh?

I was going to prison.

I thought I was doing

Joe, don't let her leave.

Hey, hey, hey,
what's up, little brah?

They found some guys
moving in on our territory.

They'll handle it.

Hey, you mind if I tag along?

- For old time's sake.
- Ready to go?

[Trash truck whirring]

Yo, my man!

Yo, my man.

- Yo, what's up?
- Not much, baby. Not much.

- Ah!
- Hey!

[Grunting]

Hey, hey, hey. Hold up.

- Uh! Ah!
- Hey, wait a minute, man!

- What's the matter with you?
- I said hold up!

Look, man, I don't
care who you are.

Hey, let's get him outta
here. Get him back to the club.

- Let's go, man!
- Come on. Come on.

[Groaning]

- Sit him down.
- Ah!

Shadow, what the
hell are you doing?

- Why would you bring him here?
- You ask your man.

We brought him here because
he interrupted us doing our job.

Your job? What the hell
is he talking about, Kay?

We never take no
brother out for no reason.

This man is encroaching!
He's working on our territory!

The man is hired
to do a job, Kay.

He is not the problem!

You take this man out, you
won't even know who he works for.

Hey, come on, man. I'm
just trying to do my job.

Why y'all beat on me, man?

- Hey, my man, you wanna live?
- Yeah, I wanna live.

Alright. Answer this
question. Who pay your bills?

Uh, uh, aandamp;K, uh, sanitation.

- I never heard of them.
- That's 'cause they new.

They over on, uh,
o... on Hudson street.

There you go. Alright?

Now you know who to go after.

Take out the competition,
end the problem.

Shadow: No, we take out
Benton, the owner of the diner,

and we punish him for
hiring the competition.

- That's how we do things arou...
- No, no, I don't want no part...

And that's the way we're
gonna continue to do things

around here, it sends a
message to the other holdouts

not to mess with us.

Listen, Kay, now what do you

want us to do with him?

Oh, come on. What's this about?

Williams: Why
y'all got to do this?

Carlos, trick... uh...

- Whoa!
- Ha-ha!

Hey, hey, hey, it's alright.

Put those things
away. It's cool.

I said I wanna get
out of here, right?

Did you see the way he just
took your man out like that?

That was a good...
This guy's got skills, man.

He just took your
boy out like that.

Hey, I tell you what, bro.

- You oughta come work for us.
- Gq?

Hey, what would you
prefer he do, Kay, huh?

Take your boy out? We
need some beef, man.

Look at what we got.
Shadow and his little dwarves.

My man, give me the g*n.

You want a job, brother?

Give up the g*n.

There you go.

Good move.

Shadow.

Alright, we'll see
how he works out.

Get him a suit.

You better get your
a*s down to your fiancee

before she smokes us both.

I'm going.

Congratulations, brah.

I thought the plan was for
barker to lead them to us.

Yeah, it was, but obviously,
Kaylen had other ideas.

Yo, we can't let innocent
people like Mr. Benton get hurt.

You gotta find a way to
refocus Kaylen's attention.

Make him come after us.

Well, I meet the
lieutenant in an hour,

so I'll coordinate it with him.

Can I ask a question?

Why is it that none of us knew

that barker was engaged?

- Wait a minute. What?
Williams: Apparently..

That was part of his deep cover.

Isn't that right, chief?

- I thought he'd broken it off.
- He was engaged before?

That was not in the case file.

Kaylen's sister Shelly,

she liked him, and
we took advantage of it.

Yeah, but how'd they get
all the way to engaged?

Case wasn't going anywhere.
We had to get him in deeper.

The only way that we
could do that was to

get him to be
part of the family.

That's, uh, pretty
deep, alright.

Yeah, that's a little too deep.

Is that the reason you
had to pull him out?

One of them.

And you put him back in anyway?

Weren't you afraid it
was gonna happen again?

Look, I said "I thought
he had broken it off."

Now, the sooner we get Kaylen,

the sooner you get
your lieutenant back.

Problem solved. Get to work.

Plan is for Alec and
moreno to drive by the club

and take a shot at Kaylen,
but it's gotta be tonight.

Okay, that's fine. And I
don't think that'd be a problem.

Alright. We need to
know exactly what time.

Tell them after 10:00,
somewhere around the front door.

Okay.

What about Shelly?

- What about Shelly?
- Is she gonna be a problem?

- We're done.
- No, lieutenant. I think...

It's a fair question considering
what happened before.

You don't even know
what happened before.

- Do you understand me, Delaney?
- I...

No, no. I... I'll tell
you what you do.

You concentrate on
doing your own damn job

instead of trying to create
something that doesn't exist.

That's what you do. Am I
making myself clear to you?

We're clear.

Good.

[Siren wailing]

Alright. Again...

We move when the store is
open before the customers show.

Hit 'em all at one
time. Do it in teams.

Jc, what are the businesses
you said you picked up for?

Uh, it's an office building
down on, uh, Mercer street.

We've got, uh, Tony's cafe.

We got an art studio
and a couple of stores.

That's every one of the
holdouts. How'd they know?

'Cause they smart.
That's how they know.

Barker: We gotta be
hitting on them next.

Just one man's opinion.

Alright, no innocent
people k*lled, alright?

Just the owners. Jc, you
and shadow, you ride together.

Man on intercom: Kaylen.
- Yeah?

Man on intercom: Sorry, Kaylen.
Gq, Shelly's looking for you.

- She's here? Now?
- Yeah.

Alright, um, tell
her I'll be right there.

Where you going?

I am going to spend
some time with my woman

if that's alright with you.

Can't she wait?

Hell, no, she can't.

Um, look, guys,
don't worry, okay?

- I'll be back in time.
- What?

[Indistinct chatter]

Barker: Excuse me. Shelly.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm still waiting for you
to answer my question.

Um, not here, okay?
Come on. Let's go.

[Siren wailing]

Stone: There's barker.

What's going on, Gregory?

- Something's the matter.
- Oh, no, nothing's the matter.

- We just need to go, okay?
- It's Kaylen, isn't it?

- What did he do now?
- Look, Shelly.

Can we talk about
this someplace else?

No, don't play me for a fool.

Don't you think I
know what goes on

in there, where
he gets the money?

He has changed ever since
pop died, ever since you left.

- Shelly, can we go?
- No, talk to him.

You could help him.
I know you could.

He listens to you.

Please. I don't
wanna lose him, too.

Don't... Don't lay
that on me, alright?

It's... it's really not fair.

Well, everything
in life isn't fair, is it?

Alright.

I'll talk to him.

Thank you.

[Instrumental music]

- Huh.
- Wow! Whoa.

Let's go home.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Music continues]

[Door opens]

[g*n c*ck]

[Music continues]

[Engine revving]

- Kaylen! Ah!
- What?

Williams: Look
out! Kaylen: What?

[Instrumental music]

Williams: Get down! Get
down! Get down! Get down!

[Tires screeching]

[Indistinct chatter]

- What's going on?
Shadow: Move it!

You alright, Kay?

I'm fine, thanks to jc here.

I'm just glad I saw that, man.

Yeah, I'm glad you saw him,
too, you're very perceptive,

though, you know?
It's like you got esp.

Hey, yo, why you
in my face, man?

I just saved your life.
You remember that.

What the hell is wrong with him?

Nothing. He gets
paid to be suspicious.

Did you get a good look at him?

Yeah, I did. And you know what?

I know, this sounds crazy,

but I swear they looked like them
folks from aandamp;K sanitation.

What? You hear this?
They trying to take meout.

You see, gq was right. We
should've gone after them.

Yeah, well, we going to now.
I'm gonna see to that personally.

Shadow, I want you to go over to
aandamp;K, stake 'em out, see how

best to hit 'em. We're gonna
make a move tomorrow night.

- Alright?
- You got it.

Listen, man, I'm not gonna
forget what you just did for me.

There's gonna be like
a force field around you.

Nobody's ever gonna be able
to touch you. You hear me?

- Glad to know that.
- Thank you.

[Siren wailing]

I love you.

[Sighs]

See you soon.

[Door shuts]

Must be nice and
warm up in there, huh?

I had a little problem
getting away.

I noticed.

Now, is there a reason why
you didn't tell us about her

or did that just slip your mind?

Well, it wasn't
pertinent to the case file.

Funny, looks pertinent to me.

So you're questioning
my objectivity?

What I'm questioning,
lieutenant, is why would you

run out with her right
before a planned attack?

Didn't you think that
looked just a little bit odd?

Look, Shelly is innocent
in all of this, okay?

I didn't want her
around any stray b*ll*ts.

- It's just that simple.
- Yeah, well, you know...

Your boy shadow doesn't
think it's that simple.

You know, I don't give
a damn about shadow.

He ain't nothing but a
punk, and I will handle him.

Now, are we done
with the third degree?

[Sighs] For now.

Good.

Alright, tell Delaney
I will meet her

at the same time, same place.

I'll find out the what and
where of Kaylen's attack

and I'll fill her in. Or do you
have a problem with that, too?

Look, I just wanna make sure
that we're all on the same page.

Do you have a problem with that?

You worry about your end.

I know what I'm doing.

Kaylen: Shadow?

What are you doing?

- Thinking.
- Thinking about what?

The cops had infiltrated
pops for over a year

before they made their move.

- Right?
- Right.

Well, where was gq
when all this went down?

He was in prison. He got
popped the week before.

I don't know. Th...
that's a big coincidence.

What do you mean
"big coincidence?"

I'm just seeing the
parallels, Kaylen, that's all.

I mean, you at the height
of your power, like pops was,

then lo and behold,
here comes gq.

Only, when the sh**ting
starts, he disappears.

Shadow, gq went to prison!
Or did you forget that?

I didn't forget about that,
but you never saw him there!

Did you? By your own admission.

Look, what are you telling me?

That gq's trying to set me
up? That he set up pops?

That gq's a cop?
What are you saying?

What I'm saying is, you
pay me to watch your back,

and that's all I'm trying to do.

Well, look, you don't
know gq, alright?

You don't know him at all,
before gq was sent away,

he tried to warn pops.
He told him to lay low.

He thought the man was
gonna making a move.

- You understand that?
- Yes, I do understand it.

Now, does that
sound like somebody

you need to protect me from?

- I don't know.
- Gq is family, man, family.

- You understand that?
- Okay.

Yo, yo, people! Check it out.

Our drive-by worked beautifully.

Kaylen's scared. He's
running like a little b*tch.

But he will come after y'all.

Okay. When?

I'm not sure. We're gonna
have a meeting tonight.

- I'll find out.
- How's the lieutenant?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

It means I don't know, stone.

I mean, you guys know
him better than me,

but he's not
acting like himself.

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing.

What, you think he's in trouble?

Well, come on give
the guy some credit.

Stone, you are not seeing
him in Kaylen's world.

And I know they're
supposed to be cool.

I know he's undercover,
but it's just not right.

Not only that, him
and that girl, Shelly,

it seems like they picked
up right where they left off.

Right, which is the reason
they pulled him last time.

So what should we
do, call the chief?

No, I don't think so.
If it's cool with y'all...

I think that you're
gonna meet him tonight,

right, and find out
Kaylen's plan, right?

I think we should
wait until then.

Stone: Are you listening
to yourselves, huh?

'Cause this is the
lieutenant we're talking about.

Trust me, he's fine.

You're on your
own with that one.

To know that our
combined private

and public efforts
are not wasted,

our neighborhood redevelopment
projects must continue.

And with this check

for the restoration
of our city's parks,

we take one more noble
step in that direction.

Councilman, as
chairman of the CDC,

I present this check to you.

[Applause]

That was one hell
of a speech, eh?

Boy ought to run for office.

I told you you were a
good influence on him.

Shelly, come on, baby, we had

this conversation
already, alright?

Kay goes his own way. I don't
have a hold on him anymore.

Why not? You still
have one on me.

Come on, just talk to him.

Tell you what, if I talk to him,
what do I get out of it, huh?

Maybe, maybe we
can make a little deal.

- Get your hands off my sister.
- Oh, don't you listen to him.

Hey, I ain't listened
to this knucklehead

all these years, I
ain't gonna start now.

[Laughing]

Will you give us a minute, sis?

Sure.

Bye.

[Laughing]

You two seem to
be getting pretty tight.

- How's everything going?
- Uh...

You know it ain't none
of your damn business.

You know that, don't you?

I'll take that as a yes.

So you heard about what
happened last night, right?

Yeah, I heard.

Well, we're gonna
meet tonight at 9:00

to plan our move on the
aandamp;K, just like you suggested.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Just thinking.

I guess seeing you back there

doing good,

well, it reminds me
of how you used to be

before pop died.

All the good things
you used to do.

I don't understand what
happened to you, little brother.

You know, the men aren't
gonna let you get away forever.

You know that, don't you?

I was just wondering

if maybe you should retire,
man, before it's too late.

You know, that's funny,

'cause I was just telling
shadow how you gave

that exact same speech
to pops before he died,

and now, here you
are, giving it to me.

I guess pops should
have listened to you.

Yeah.

It's too bad.

Moreno, it's me.

Did the lieutenant tell
you about Kaylen's plan?

- No, he never showed.
- What?

He was supposed to
be there an hour ago.

Delaney: Yeah.
- What's going on?

I don't know what happened.
Do you think I should wait?

Um, no, no. Better if
you come over here.

We might need the help
if Kaylen moves on us.

Alright. I'm on my way.

Lieutenant miss his
contact? What's that mean?

I don't know. I
think he's in trouble.

Gregory. What's going on?

- Where are you going?
- Out.

With Kaylen?

This is your idea of
helping set him straight?

You don't know what's
going on, Shelly, okay?

- So just leave it be.
- "Leave it be?"

You're about to go out there
and get yourself in trouble,

and you expect me
to just leave it be.

No, damn it, what
I'm about to do, Shelly,

is go out there and keep
Kaylen's a*s outof trouble.

- Alright?
- Oh, with that?

Look, you don't understand.

I don't have time to
explain it to you, okay?

No, it's not okay! I almost
lost you once, Gregory.

If you go back to prison, I
might never see you again.

If I had not goneto prison,

maybe pop would
not have been shot

and maybe Kaylen wouldn't be
in the mess that he's in right now.

You are not responsible for him!

I know what I'm doing.

Gregory!

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[William sighs]

- Where you been?
- None of your damn business.

We gonna do this or what?

Alright, so I figure
they're expecting us.

So I'd like to make the hit short
and sweet. You understand?

Yo, I'm ready. When are
we gonna make this move?

Sunrise. Shadow,
you make the call?

Yeah. Cops will be patrolling
the other side of the precinct.

Should give us
five or six minutes.

Not bad. I'm impressed.

Maybe you are,

and maybe you aren't.

Anyway gq and I'll take ninth.

Shadow, you and jc take tenth.

Everyone else, follow and cover.

Alright. So what
we gonna do, huh?

Like, a little drive-by?

You know what? You ask a
whole lot of damn questions, son.

Hey, what the hell is
your problem, brah?

Look, I ain't never do
nothing like this before.

You my problem, brother.

You.

And exactly who
the hell you really are.

Gq, what the hell are you doing?

I... I don't know. Maybe
I'm just a little paranoid.

I've been wondering how this man

just happened to come
into our lives all of a sudden.

[Chuckles] Come on now.

Hey, I'm a good-luck baby. Yeah?

Barker: And how you just
happened to be working

for the company
we about to go after.

I don't know. Do you?

Maybe it's just some
major-a*s coincidence

or maybe, just maybe,

all these specific
questions you're asking,

maybe it's just some kind
of personality quirk or...

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, come on now.
Hey, what the hell is this?

Oh, so y'all trying to
set me up, is that it?

Or maybe you a cop.

What the hell are you trying
to do? Well, I ain't goin'...

[Groans]

[g*nshots]

Damn it! Come on! Let's
get him, baby! Let's go!

He got away.

Damn it! How the hell
were we infiltrated?

That's a very good
question, Kaylen.

That's a verygood question!

I don't know, but what I
do know is you the one

that brought the damn
cop in here in the first place!

Damn straight, I did,
and it was also me

that busted his
a*s and saved ours.

Don't ever walk in my face!
Now, do you understand me?

Gq, cut it out! Gq!

Ever! I will bust your head.

Gq, cut it out!
We need to focus!

It ain't over yet.

You know what, you
want some of me...

Look, look, look, look,
look, we've gotta focus!

Let me tell you something, Kay,

those cops were
not working alone

and they weren't working
alone last time, either.

- You mean those aandamp;K guys?
- They are undercover, baby!

Which means it was a
trap! They set you up!

What are you telling me, that
they wanted us to make a move...

Yes, so they could catch you
in the act! You damn straight!

You just got a reprieve.

You gotta pack it up

and straighten it out,
okay, just like I told you.

What? What you
mean "straighten it out?"

You crazy? Ain't
no straightening out!

No, they got the tape already!

Ain't no telling
what else they got.

You know what, if they had
more than the damn tape,

they would've busted us by now.

Look, I'm not gonna
steer you wrong, brother.

If you play it cool, cops
can't touch you, Kay.

- You don't know that!
- You don't know what I know.

Kay, one thing you do know is

we got to do something. Right?

You can't sit here
and do nothing!

Oh, we're gonna do something.
We're gonna do the hit.

- Just like we planned.
- What?

Look, when that cop goes
down there and tells them what

went on down here, they're
gonna know they've been exposed.

They're not gonna expect
us to come running after them.

No, no, Kay, you
can't move on the cops.

They made a move on
my father, didn't they?

Kay, Kay, come on,
come on. Come on, baby.

- You're not thinking straight.
- No.

Kay, listen to me.

You're not thinking straight.

If you do that, they will
then know it was you.

Gq, I want them
to know it was me.

They just won't be
able to proveanything.

Come on, shadow, let's go.

Kay. Kay!

Come on now.

Look, I'm begging
you now, brother.

Please.

Please don't do it.

Barker did what?

He blew my cover.

And I'm lucky I even
got out of there alive.

Are you sure that
wasn't part of his plan?

Of course I'm sure!

He never said anything
to me about this.

Well, then why did he do it?

That's what I'm
trying to figure out!

Now the only thing
I can think of is

maybe he was trying
to protect Kaylen

from going after
stone and moreno.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're saying he's

trying to blow the operation?

No, what I'm saying
is your boy barker

is in too deep,

same way he was three years ago.

He's right, Alec. And
we saw this coming, too.

And the question is,
what should we do now?

It's over. I mean, we're never
gonna get Kaylen foster now.

Moreno, you and stone go back
to the cover office, shut it down.

But what about the lieutenant?

Jc, you gotta go in after him,
and you gotta get him out fast.

He's in so deep, maybe
he doesn't wanna come out.

No, no, no. You
go bring him out!

[Dramatic music]

- Jc?
- Hey, Shelly, is gq here?

- No, he's not. Excuse me?
- Excuse me.

Listen, she's with me.
We need to find him.

Do you have any idea where
he is? He might be in trouble.

I don't know.

You're a cop?

Yes, I'm a cop, and so is gq.

His real name is
lieutenant Malcolm barker.

- And we work for him.
- Yeah, right.

Delaney: You think it's
a coincidence he's back

in your life right now?

He's here to help us
get to your brother.

Think about it, just
like he showed up

three years ago
to help your father

and then somehow
conveniently got arrested?

And left you with that
ring on your finger?

- You're lying.
- Shelly...

I'm not here to
try to shock you.

And I don't wanna hurt
you, but we need to find him

before Kaylen finds
out he's a cop, too.

[Dramatic music]

Well, what do you
mean they're still coming?

No, they're not at the club

and barker would come back
to Shelly's if the hit was off.

[Tires screeching]

What's the matter?

[Tires screeching]

[g*ns c*ck]

Get down!

[g*nshots]

Shadow, get the b*mb ready!

[g*nshots]

Cover shadow. Cover him!

Reload!

Kaylen: Shadow, blow them up!

[Groans]

Drop it! Don't move!

Drop it, Kaylen.
You're under arrest.

Gq?

My name is barker.

Lieutenant barker.

But that can't be.

That's impossible.

Pops loved you like a son, man.

I know he did.

That's why I tried to save him.

And I tried to save
you, too, Kaylen.

You wouldn't listen, man.

I tried to tell you, but
you just wouldn't listen.

You didn't try to save pops.

You're one of the
ones who k*lled him.

What happened to
pops was wrong, okay?

We can't change
that now, Kaylen,

and that doesn't make
what you did right.

And that'swhat this is about.

[Siren wailing]

I'm gonna ask you...

One more time...

[Sirens wailing]

Drop your weapon...

Now.

[Sirens wailing]

This doesn't make what
you're doing right, either, brother.

[Breathing heavily]

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Alright, chief. Yeah.

I'll be there.

How you holding up, lieutenant?

Well, I've been better.

Lieutenant, we're done. Csu's
gonna take over from here.

So looks like, uh,
shadow's gonna pull through,

for what it's worth.

It's worth something now.

Listen, um, I'm not
proud of what happened...

But it happened.

And I'm gonna
have to deal with it.

- Don't worry about it.
- It's real easy for you to say.

- Stone.
- No, you're right, Williams.

I broke my own
cardinal rule, I allowed

my personal emotions

to cloud my judgment
and risk this op.

In our opinion, chief
should never have

put you under
in the first place.

Well, look, at least it
all worked out, right?

Yeah.

But the ends don't
justify the means, moreno.

I made a mistake and I'm
gonna have to pay for it.

Delaney: Lieutenant...

[Sighs]

I guess I should have believed
your dear John letter, huh?

- Look, Shelly, I can explain...
- Was it all a lie?

Did you ever really love me?

[Instrumental music]

Yes.

I did.

[Sniffles]

[Sniffles] Thanks.

[Instrumental music]

[Theme music]

[Wolf howling]
