Charly?

Reagan's pet project, off the books.

Help the Contra rebels fight

Some of the cash came
from selling arms to Iran,

Oliver North's epic fuckup.

But the rest?

If there's one thing that
the Contras had plenty of,

it was cocaine.

I was in charge of trafficking
the coke into the U.S.

and then using the profits
to buy more weapons.

In the fight against the Reds,

whatever it took.

That's some self-justifying bullshit.

Were you part of that other thing, too?

was to sell the cocaine strictly
to minority neighborhoods.

staying out of white ones.

their infinite wisdom,

decided it was the perfect time

I'm happier coaching these kids

You should come down to the track.

Yeah.

Okay.

I was terrified.

[NEWSWOMAN] And that's when
Dana Whitmyre says Blue Hawk

came to her rescue.

[BLUE HAWK] At approximately : p.m.,

I spotted a Black male
following the victim

southbound on Marin Boulevard.

I intercepted him, at which point

the suspect became aggressive.

Brother lived a few
houses up the street.

Three kids.

He was just walking home from work.

Blue Hawk curb-stomped him so hard,

it cracked the pavement.

- That's f*cked-up.
- [NATHAN] Yeah.

Maybe I can throw his family
some cash or something.

They don't need a handout.
