I think I'm gonna have to kill her, man.
She's gonna ruin my life.
She keeps calling my wife.
Hanging up.
Threatening to go see her.
I caught her in my front yard
watching my kids the other day.
She has a lack of empathy, man.
But still...
(soft sigh)
Last time I got caught fucking around on my wife,
she took the kids to her mom's for a month.
We're good now.
Sleeping in the same bed.
But still, I just can't stay away from her, man-to-man.
You get it.
Her dying is the only way this is gonna end.
Chloe knows I can't stop.
You'll see.
Believe me.
It's like we're not even in control of our own lives.
They are.
Women.
Ultimate evil.

Okay, here's the situation, Donna.
You were driving recklessly.

Open your wallet.

Baby, I'm hungry.

Baby, say something for me.

Come on.
Maybe wanna put me in handcuffs? Hmm?
Give me a little lesson?
That's what you want?
Yeah.

Come see.
I just got some extra cash.
How 'bout me and Martin come by a little later?
No, baby. Don't bring Martin.

Okay?
Let's get you cleaned up.
Homicide will be here soon.
It's gonna be a long night.
I heard gunshots.
I saw Larry on the ground.
And a guy running to his car.
I fired at him a few times, but he got away.
I went over to Larry, but he was already dead.
Did you get a good look at the shooter?
Not really.
(locker opens)
(crackling, rustling)
(snorts)
(in Spanish) I saw your mother last night.
She was a cat who climbed onto my bed...
...and sat on my chest.
When she looked down at me...
...the cat began to cry.
Each of her tears...
...was for a dream that she'd had for you.
A dream of the life you will never have now.
And the man you will never be.
Once I had understood these tears...
...the cat turned into Magdalena.
Only now she had wings.
Like an angel.
And the angel told me...
...to treat you not as my nephew.
But as my son.
And to take great care of you.
And then the angel kissed me...
...and flew away.
Do you understand what this means?
(in Spanish) My Spanish...
...isn't good.
I'm sorry.
From now on...
...every year on this day...
...we'll celebrate your vengeance.
We will honor your mother.
And burn an effigy...
...of the policeman who took Magdalena from us.
(clattering)
This is the gun I used...
...when I killed that cop.
For you.
To thank you...
...for the help you have given me.
Thank you.
It'll have a special place...
...at my sister's shrine.
You must worry no more.
You will stay here with us...
...until things have calmed down in America.
Thank you, Uncle.
(exhales)
It makes me happy...
...that you've returned to me, Jesus.
Your family is going to take care of you...
...here in Mexico.
(in English) But first...
First you must learn to speak Spanish.

Huh?

I need to talk to Damien.
Where are you calling from?
A pay phone.

The guy who shot Larry.
Okay. Hold on.

So what is this you have to show me?
Have any cops seen this?
No.
Do you know who it is?
Fuck.
That's Magdalena's son.
His name is Jesus.
How does he know it was us?
That's a good question.
I'll look into it.
But maybe you shouldn't have shot his mom.
That wasn't me.
That was Larry.
Interesting.
Larry said she came out the back door and you shot her.
And he said he shot the driver.
I don't know what to tell you.
Larry was lying.
Was he?
You weren't supposed to kill Magdalena.
It was just supposed to be a robbery.
That's Larry's fault.
Not mine.
Larry's not here.
All we have is each other.
All I know is we got a lot of paranoid Mexicans out there now.
These are nice.
Let me see.
Who is she?
Amanda.
It's Larry's girlfriend.
Can I have that back?
No.
I was gonna give it to you, but you lied to me.
So now I'm keeping it.
For all the trouble you caused.
You'll work it off.
You go in tomorrow.
And you tell them this guy shot Larry.
I can't just walk in two weeks later and say,
"Oh, yeah, I remember now."
Then I guess you'll have to kill him.
I can't do that.
You caused this.
WOMAN (on TV): ...sheriffs are still searching for the man
who shot and killed Sergeant Lawrence Wadlow
and attempted to kill his partner, Deputy Martin Jones.
According to sources, sheriffs' homicide investigators
still have no leads on the suspect
who was seen fleeing the scene
in either a gray or silver sports car.
This was the first deputy killed
in the line of duty in two years,
and the department is understandably...
I know what you did.
Larry told me everything.
You wanna keep your voice down?
Yeah, I can do that. (sniffs)
What do you want?
I want Larry's money.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Larry had some cash set aside for him and for me.
I don't know anything about Larry's money.
(sniffs)
Fine. We can split it.
I'll split it with you.
What, are you high right now?
(sniffs)
What are you gonna do with it?
You just gonna keep it for yourself?
- Because Larry told me... - Fuck Larry.
Fuck!
Larry promised that he was gonna take care of me.
Well, Larry's dead.
And you can't be coming down here and saying shit like this.
So just go home Amanda.
Okay.
What's it worth to leave you alone?
Because I could go to any cop right here right now,
and I will tell them what you fuckin' did.
Swear to God.
You trying to blackmail a cop?
Yeah.
I want $10,000.
No.
Seven.
I can give you two.
Yeah, okay, two's good. It's good.
When do I get it?
Couple days.
I need to go to a bank.
Okay.
But I don't want to see you after that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just give me the money.
(whistle blows in distance)
There's no smoking allowed here.
You wanna put that out?
Yes, sir.
How long do we have?
I gotta be somewhere in a couple hours.
Have things calmed down yet?
Yeah.
Kinda.
Are you doing okay?
I don't really feel like talking about it.
Sure.
So how was school?
WOMAN: Did you get the goat milk?
I wrote it down.
No, I must have forgot.
Sorry.
I have something to tell you.
Okay.
I told my dad about us.
Why?
Because I wanted to.
What did you tell him?
That we've been hanging out.
Just hanging out?
Well, you know.
Fucking.
I could go to jail. You're 17.
He's not gonna snitch.
He wants to meet you.
Who else have you told?
No one.
Janey...
I swear.
You're gonna come over on Friday.
- No. - Why not?
Use your head.
I just did.
I don't need this right now.
Sorry.
Fuck.
(sighs)
All right.
But I don't want to be interrogated.
I'll handle it.
Thanks.
I need to go to work.
Can I have my shirt back?
You want it?
Come get it.

Man.
Yeah.
This is a really nice place.

How 'bout you? You got any property?
Not really.
We got another place over in London.
Ever been? (snorts)
- No. - Hmm.
Anyway, Janey tells me you were
the responding officer for her mom's, uh...
That right? (snorts)
Yeah. I was.
Mm-hmm. That how you two met?
(sniffs) Huh?
(sniffs)
How do you feel about that?
Well, I, um...
'Cause it's not exactly the most ideal situation for me,
I'm sure you understand, right?
My 16-year-old's first boyfriend
is a 30-year-old cop who basically...
picked her up at, uh...
her mother's accident.
JANEY: It wasn't an accident.
She ran into traffic.
It was a suicide, okay?
(sniffs)
Let's not do this, all right, Janey?
I'm trying to get to know my future son-in-law here.
Daddy?
You raised me to be smart, right?
And to make my own decisions?
And as long as I was honest with you
and I was open about them,
then you'd respect them.
So can we move on, please?
You're absolutely right. (sighs)
So what's the deal with you, Martin? Huh?
What's your plan?
- With Janey? - No.
Your future, kiddo.
You wanna stay a cop? (snorts)
Huh?
Yeah.
I do.
Really? How'd that work out for your partner?
Daddy!
Hey. Dangerous line of work.
You wanna spend time with him?
I wanna make sure you're safe.
MARTIN: Trust me.
She's safe.
Trust, yeah. (chuckles)
Trust.
(Man snorts)
What do you think that's worth, huh?
No idea.
Try a lot. (snorts)
This one over here.
Worth more than you'll make in a lifetime.
(snorts, chuckles)
See this phone booth over here? Solid gold.
Of course, it doesn't work.
Hey, you wanna, uh...
You wanna check out Janey's room? Huh?
All right.
That's a real Nazi.
MAN: I love this.
My favorite.
What, about three years ago
from her graduation from middle school?
(snorts) That's her mother right there on the left.
But, of course, you know that already.
She had to give a speech that day,
but you couldn't understand a word she was saying through her braces.

I'm a pretty creative guy, Martin, right?
Got lots of ideas running around in that head of mine.
Yeah.
In fact, I just had a pretty brilliant one about you right now.
(snorts) Want me to tell you?
Yeah?
Janey ever tell you what I do for a living?
Huh? She, uh... She ever tell you?
You're in entertainment?
Is that what she told you? (snorts)
Not exactly.
No. (sniffs)
I run a multi-billion dollar international hedge fund
and all we do is sit around and buy and sell shit.
(sniffs)
And I was thinking maybe I buy you.
What do you think?
What do you mean?
I mean, not you as a person...
your rights, your rights, your rights.
You know, your, uh, your life rights as a cop.
(snorts)
Hmm.
I don't think I'm allowed to do that.
I don't think you're allowed to go around fucking underage girls, either,
but that didn't seem to stop you.

Hmm?
No. I think we're gonna head out after dinner.

Maybe I should just let you get back to your party.
Hey, this guy owes me some money.
Do you mind going in the other room
while we talk about it?
Yeah.
Better?
MARTIN: Take it.
Don't mind me.
Don't do all of it.
What is this?
This is only 1700.
It's 1750.
Yeah, well, you said 2,000.
Well, I couldn't get that much.
You're just like Larry.
Always pretending to be broke.
You should clean this place up a little bit.

Larry was the kind of guy
who always wanted to be a cop.
He came to me straight out of the academy.
And I knew there was something special about him.
But mostly he was a family man.
And he invited me into that family,
and I became part of it.
I watched his daughters grow.
I spent time with his wife.
Larry was fiercely loyal,
and had integrity.
(door opens)
And here's Larry's favorite partner.
Let's give him a round of applause.
It's been a rough week...
especially for you, Martin.
So thank you for coming.
And I told everyone that you're buying the next round.
(chuckles)
Sure.
All right, guys, we have waffles coming.
Pancakes. So, let's enjoy ourselves.
But most importantly,
it's time to dig deep and donate.
We need to help Larry's family.
We need to help our own.
I know how much you all make. I sign your checks.
Okay? (chuckles)
He had our backs.
Let's have his.
And let's honor him.

Ladies, can you give us a minute?
Okay.
Got some good news for you.
You did pretty good on the detective exam.
And the higher-ups like you.
So I'm putting you on the detective squad for a couple of months.
And then we're gonna loan you out to homicide.
You're getting fast-tracked.
This is good news.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. Thanks, Captain.
What's going on?

Not a lot.

Okay.

She sold you to the Mexicans.
Why?
Cocaine.
That's how Jesus found out about you.
Him we're still looking for.
Okay.
