Yeah, you guys bring us

Well, Mastro's was booked.

It's this way.

You ever heard of a bird called
a Nashville Warbler?

Beautiful yellow crest. Rare in Chicago.

You sucking in landfill
to go bird-watching?

The supervisor here is a birder.

This morning, he sees
a Warbler covered in blood,

follows the bird, stumbles
onto this poor bastard.

Took one to the belly.
Muzzle flash, powder burns.

I'd say he seen it coming.
But that's not what k*lled him.

Puncture wound.

Entry.

Exit.

Ice pick.

You got it.

Los Temidos' signature k*ll.

This will be the seventh vic

All got tapped the same way.

Yeah. Any ID?

No, nothing off facial rec

I know Intelligence has
an active investigation,

knee-deep into Temidos.

Yeah, we'll take it.

Why don't you go grab a shower?

Amen.

Thanks.

Hey, loop in the others,

No, but I will dig.

You know, I have been
working it, all right?

I don't know why you think
I'm suddenly gonna hand you

something magic before we hit this...

Listen, I gotta know
who we're hitting, kay?

Right now, all I got is a nickname.

El León, okay?
He's the head of Los Temidos.

Tell me how I'm supposed to hit that.

- I need an angle.
- I know.

This is gonna be a long haul.

- Cartel...
- Affiliated gangs always are.

Yeah, you've enlightened me on that.

Look, I'll jump on it
and see what magic I can find.

Hey.

How's Rafa's knee?

Um, okay.

Six stitches.

Hey, um, thank you.

For calling the hospital

and helping with all
the insurance red tape.

But I shouldn't have called you.

Our Doe from the landfill

Name is Miguel Vicente.
He's years old.

Been working two jobs
to support his folks.

His dad's on disability.

His mom's a laid-off hotel worker.

Parents reported him
missing two days ago.

He's got zero g*ng affiliations.
No sheet.

I mean, the kid's been living right.

Okay, so how does he tie with Temidos?

We're thinking
through his cousin, Pedro.

Pedro is a two-bit thief
with an extensive sheet,

lookin' like he roped
his cousin, Miguel,

into the family business.

Area Robbery

as persons of interest in three
recent cash armed robberies.

Maybe they upped their game,

they ripped a Temidos' stash house.

No, that's where it gets good.

Two days ago,

Pacuan Gutierrez, .

AKA "Paco."

Paco is a cipher.

No credit cards, no sheet,
no priors, no parking tickets.

We do know that Paco
was born in Mexico City.

He came over here legally
with his parents.

They d*ed in a car crash.

That's when he entered the system.

Paco joined the army when he was .

Paco didn't take to soldiering,

got a dishonorable discharge,
ended up shoving

a loaded M down his sergeant's throat,

Okay, what else?

Uh, we know that Paco buys
and refurbishes old cars.

He's got a huge house that he
should not be able to afford,

and he drives
a souped-up black pickup truck.

Now when Blanca was m*rder*d,
a POD camera caught

a truck fitting that description

in a Dunkin' Donuts parking lot.

The Dunkin' employee said
he saw a red-haired woman

driving the truck.

Girlfriend?

Could be, or it's just

Javier Escano, AKA "Javy."

This is the guy running
and supplying Los Temidos.

AKA "El León."

So his parents
were born in Sonora, Mexico.

His mother came
into the U.S. undocumented.

Escano was born here,

but he's still tight
with his father, Iglesias.

Credit cards show him
flying to Mexico once a month.

Now, his father is suspected
for coordinating

multi-ton heroin shipments to the U.S.

Iglesias Escano indexed
as a high-priority target.

Lights up the federal switchboards.

DEA, ICE, Customs.

I mean, this guy is in deep
with the Sinaloa cartel.

Javier went to business
school five years ago.

He bought his first Cárabo Bakery.

It's a perfect spot to launder
money and move product.

And business is booming.

Escano has contracts
with multiple businesses

in Madison, Detroit, and Minneapolis.

How does he ship the food?

Cárabo Bakery vans.

We think he moves products
with the muffins.

And he had a pretty sharp
pipeline until yesterday.

Closed down two of his bakeries.

Soon as we showed up, dude went dark.

He cleared out all his product,
cleaned up.

But Sarge, it's El León. We got him.

All right, well, if he cleared out,

getting a warrant on the bakery
is gonna be a waste of time.

Yeah, if we bring him in,
he's gonna get rattled.

- We won't get anything.
- So we need a weak spot.

Paco. How does he cross with Escano?

Hmm. Okay.

Uh, we know that Escano
cosigned the mortgage

Okay. So Paco is our key to him.

We bust Paco for the murders,

we get him to flip on Escano

Okay. How do we get to Paco?

This is a Glock . It's a rare make.

It's Paco's w*apon of choice.

Everything.

Escano hands me the cash in a bag...

But the job, the job... who orders it?

I get through a burner phone.

Like I said, burner phone.

No idea who's at the other end of it.

I get a name...

What about all that money

that Escano gave you for that house?

Was a loan.

He has never told me
a damn thing in person.

Escano's never handed me a g*n.

I've never seen dr*gs on him.
Ain't never seen a w*apon.

All I know is that
he's the one that pays me.

♪

But I can't hand him over to you.

Because he designed it that way.

With everyone that works for him,

no one is fully close to him.

No one.

No one

can handle him.

♪

He's smarter than you.

Come in.

Paco?

He's in protective custody, solitary.

Made a deal with him
not to say your name.

Okay, that's not enough protection.

It will be.

But he can't give us Escano.

We took everything he gave us.
Brought it to the SA.

Wasn't even enough for a warrant.

What the... how is that even possible?

Because Escano is smart.

I imagine a man like that
is gonna find a way

to get to Paco,
no matter where we put him.

Okay.

He's... he's on your paper. He's...

He's your responsibility.

You... there's gotta be a way
to protect him.

You can't just let him get k*lled.

We're doing everything we can.

Absolutely everything we can.

Okay. Um...

Um.

[SIGHS]

So what's the next play?

I'm gonna need you to talk to me.

Anna, what happened the other
night at Paco's house?

- Who was that man?
- I told you.

I got too drunk.

And it wasn't true then,
and it isn't true now.

Well, what the hell does it matter?

What does that have anything
to do with any of this?

Anna, I understand. I get it.

You don't want me in your
actual life... no CI does.

Makes it seem easier
to keep your lives separate.

Makes you feel safe.

Okay, all right, look.
We don't have to do all of...

Anna, you're not safe.

Okay?

You're not.

I gotta be in your life.

I gotta know you
so we can keep you upright.

You gotta get that.

It's just this thing that happens.

When I see somebody...

[STAMMERS] My brain thinks
it's someone that I know.

It never is.

[SIGHS]

Los Temidos does initiations.

And when I was hooked in,
they... they drugged me,

they b*at me...

And they r*ped me.

And I don't even know
who they were, okay?

But sometimes when I see a man,

and I... I hear a voice,

it just... it takes me back there.

You know, and I, um...

♪

[SCOFFS]

That's why I leave that part out.

'Cause of that look.

Right there.

I could tell you about all the v*olence

that Temidos has done to my family,

to my brother,
my father, you can see that.

Everybody that Temidos chews up.

But as soon as I tell you this,

That's the face that I get.

Like I'm just some g*dd*mn broken woman

who you're about to pull
off of this thing.

No.

Look, Anna...

Anna, if you want in, you're in.

Okay?

I just need to know.

Then what's next?
