JOSIE: Hey!
Where's Timur?
No idea what you're talking about.
Bullshit. You've seen me walking through here
every day for the past six months.
Never saw you, and don't know anyone named Timur.
Hey! The back warehouse is empty.
Where the hell did everyone go?
Suggest you get your friend out of my face
before there's a problem.
There's already a problem, and it's yours.
'Cause I've seen the cars you have moving in and out of here,
half of them hotter than pique sauce, eh, papi?
Paco D know what you're doing?
'Cause everyone in this neighborhood knows
Paco D controls everything up to the water,
so what's he gonna say when he finds out
you ain't been kickin' up?
You'll keep your mouth shut.
Don't try to scare me.
You're a second-rate chop shopper, not a killer.
But Paco is, and he likes me.

Timur came out of nowhere. About half a year ago.

I don't care about the protocol.
Anything Tech comes across comes to me first,

Are we clear? Good.
Is it over?
Quite the contrary.
Victor's out of the subway system, but Taft's not moving.
Did he kill another one?
Apparently. Or wounded him badly.
Unbelievable.
This guy doesn't make it out of the first round
of his past four bouts, and suddenly no one
can take him down?
Gambling Division will want confirmation on Taft.
Where-Where's Connell?
I texted him,
but service is spotty in the tunnels.
- [phone rings] - Ah.
Connell. Hello.
[whooshing through phone]
What's that noise?
Putting out fires.
Literally
and figuratively.
Well, is Taft dead?
No.
It seems Mr. Suero used some sort of homemade chloroform
to knock him out.
He's quite resourceful.
Yes, he is. Let's just hope he's as adept
at avoiding the police.
He seems capable.
Well, he's still running on adrenaline.
But his life as he knows it, it's gone.
He'll try to change his appearance...

Endeavor to dissolve into crowds.
But as the hours pass, he'll realize,
though he might temporarily avoid the pack,
momentarily dodge death,
there's one thing he can't escape:
his heart.
His whole reason for agreeing to the hunt
was to protect Josie;
more daughter than sister, really.
He couldn't leave her behind in that fire
all those years ago, but now he has abandoned her
in order to save her.
But he'll feel that pull,
and that will eventually be his undoing.
[siren whoops]
You sure this is the right thing to do?
I don't want Victor to get into more trouble than he's in.
All I know is he had an agreement
to fix a fight for money, but then he steals money instead,
and then the people he made the agreement with
just disappear?

He's in deep shit.
I don't think it's possible for us to make it worse.
Hello?
VICTOR: Hey, it's me.
Victor! Where are you?
I thought I could pull it off.
I thought I could get the money we needed...
you'd be okay, and tomorrow morning it'd be over.
Wh-What would be over? I don't understand.
I'm so sorry I did this, okay?
I just want you to know I didn't leave you.
Why are you talking like this? Listen...
Let me speak to him.
The cops could come after you.
Everyone's coming after me.
Who? Timur?
This was all planned out. There was a plan, Victor.
What's going on? Victor!
He hung up. Come on.
He's in a taxi and has a phone.
He was talking to someone.
He must have used the cabbie's phone
'cause nothing on his red cell came through.
Where are we on the driver's phone?

ROLAND: You know, with everything
you just told me, you opened yourself up

I don't give a shit, I just want to find my brother.
You know, if you're trying

Well, if she's not worried to lying to a detective
- during an open investigation... - I haven't lied to you.
Really? You said Timur
and his guys were Russian, right?
I said they sounded Russian.
So here's the thing.
I've been an organized crime

There ain't no Russians or Poles or Bulgarians anywhere.

Look, sweetheart,

If it's so made up, explain this.
How the hell do we have over $3 million

And if I was dirty, why the fuck would I show you?
Hey, it's Roland. I need you down in the office.
No, I-I want to put a BOLO out on a Victor Suero ASAP.
No, no, no, we need to help him, not arrest him.
Look, the only way I can help him
is by having him picked up and brought in
so we can figure out what's going on here.
'Cause if what you're saying is true, about this money,
Victor's safest in custody.
