Mama.
What? What is it, baby?
There are monsters.
It's okay, baby.
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me, pretty baby, and you'll see
I can be all you need
Drop your bag!
On your knees, right now!
Don't fucking move!
We got you on attempt to distribute.
Know what that means, Carcillo?
Means little Jade and her mommy aren't going to see each other
for a long time.
Get us to Silas.
You know, we're trying to do you a favor.
It's easy enough.
File the charges, let you figure out bail,
a lawyer, child protective services...
I don't know him!
Yeah, okay.
How many times we got to do this?
Do you want to keep your daughter?
Mama, come play with me.
Who do I get to be?
-I'm this car. -Okay.
Epic pacing.
This is going to the city and it's a girl.
Yo, what up, bro?
Yo!
I like your face.
It's just my face.
Leave them the fuck alone, Stevie.
Yo, watch your language, there's a fucking kid here, man.
It's okay, I know the "fuck" word.
Yeah, that's my fault, right?
Yup.
Are there a lot of people at the parade?
Yeah.
Come on.
Damn, you look just like the Bony Lady.
You laugh, but it's true, she protects us.
And she'd do the same for you.
We're doing alright. For real.
-Hey, Jade. -Bye!
Hey, yo, come hang tonight!
I'll take care of you, anything you need.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
She's the only one who can handle me.
-Well, she's expensive, though. -Damn right, I am.
-Bye, honey. -Bye.
Look, mom!
What you doing? That's some moss.
I want to see Mads.
Me too.
You can't get me!
-Hi! -Hi!
-What you got up there? -Nana.
I know Nana.
No, you don't. She's dead.
I mean, that's why we're here, right?
-Hey. -What's good, girl.
We're going to be right back. You ready? Ready, ready, let's go.
Hey, you doing okay?
Fine.
-Your mom, she was... -Thanks for taking Jade tonight.
Yeah, I love hanging out with her.
Do I need to worry about you?
Shut up, you know I'm good.
I always am.
Like a cockroach.
Gotta go to work, boo.
-I love you. -I love you too.
Have fun, okay?
Hey, Jade?
Stay dangerous.
Stay dangerous, mama.
Pack of reds.
-You old enough? -Yeah.
Eleven sixty-two.
I'd say those things will kill you, but you look dead already.
Okay.
Can I get the bathroom key?
Don't make a mess.
Take your fucking time.
-You're late. -So?
You're fucking ugly, what are we gonna do about it?
Of all the nights...
-The fuck is wrong with you? -You need to cool.
Try to keep your head on straight, this is really serious.
Yeah, I know.
I'm the one going out there.
Give me your backpack.
Yes, sir.
Ten Gs.
Nothing sus about that at all.
No more fucking around with the small stuff.
It's big.
Yeah?
You're going to be alright.
We're going to be with you the whole time.
Well, actually, not at all, because...
I'm walking out there alone.
Can I have my fucking backpack, please?
You know what I mean, we're going to be able to hear everything.
This is it, right?
You wanted me to get you Silas?
-I got you Silas. -No yet, you didn't.
I'm about to, so...
So, when we get him,
you're done.
Alright, what's the code?
I know the fucking code.
You say it.
"Pleasure doing business, Silas."
Perfect.
-Can I get some cash? -For what?
I bought cigs and a drink.
Yeah? You got a receipt?
-Fuck you. -Yeah, get out of the car.
Yeah, fuck you too.
Okay, good night.
Fucking pig.
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me, pretty baby, and you'll see
-I can be all... -Always with the singing.
Whatever works.
Get in.
Where's Silas?
Who the fuck is Silas?
Frankie?
Change of plans, Riv. Get in.
Come on, man. You know I got to get home to my kid.
You stay at The Oasis, right?
Right?
Yeah.
Get in the car.
Hold up.
Arms out.
Really?
Yo, hey. Yo!
Let's go. She's golden, come on.
I'm golden.
Let's go.
Did she just get in the fucking car?
Go, go.
She there? She there?
She's not fucking there.
Give me your phone.
-I'm sorry, the person you're trying... -Fuck!
Has a voice mailbox that has not been set up yet.
-How the fuck do we find them now? -I don't know.
How much longer till we get there, man?
I got to get back home.
Sit back and shut up.
Frankie?
A dirt road? Where are we going, man?
Jesus Christ! Relax.
What's up, Jack?
Gentlemen.
Come on.
Fuck.
What are you doing? Come on, let's go. Get out.
Go ahead.
Go.
I got to piss.
Fuck.
Guys, can you still hear me?
I'm at a ranch, up a dirt road off the Sierra. 11755 Spade.
Just fucking hurry up and get here!
How long are we going to wait here?
I got to think, man.
Yeah, what we got to do is call this in now.
So you want to tell our boss we lost the CI?
Then what?
Then they send backup.
And we find River before something fucked up happens.
We are this close to nailing Silas Butler.
Are we? Where is he?
Where's the ten Gs? Where's our fucking CI?
Do I need to remind you what this would mean for us? Do I?
And you want to blow it over some throw away
-that's not even in the system? -We got to fucking find her, okay?
Yo, why the water been running so long?
Maybe she's nervous.
You got a piss fetish or something?
What?
No, man I was...
Come on, go.
Have a seat, darling.
Look at you!
A lot different than last time I saw you.
Your hair...
your clothes...
Now you got this whole...
"is it a chick? Is it a dude?" kind of vibe going on.
I dig it.
Thanks.
I'm not sure if what happened back then would happen today, you know, if...
But, who knows?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not sure if what happened last time would've happened if...
I wasn't drunk as fuck and...
sixteen, but...
Yeah, it did, so...
You could always talk shit. That's why I liked you, River.
You still like candy?
Come on.
Help yourself.
Damn.
So, I... So I got ten Gs.
Pump the brakes.
What's the rush? I haven't seen you in years.
-Yeah, yeah. -Relax.
Yeah, okay.
Like, I'd love to stay and party, I just...
I got to get back home, you know?
Yes, right.
Our daughter.
Course. How is she, by the way?
My daughter's fine.
She got to be, what? Like... What? Three, by now?
She's five.
Yeah, like, I didn't really come here to talk about her.
No, I think you did.
You got to my men.
You made sure he knew who you were.
I mean...
River,
do you really think you'd be sitting here otherwise?
Come on.
Okay?
Excuse me.
Fuck!
What?
Just, like, I got to get home, you know?
Come on.
We get to spend some time and catch up.
We can do some magnificent cocaine in my big ass house.
Yeah, yeah, that coke is legit.
I know.
Here, it's on me.
Take one for the road.
Always a gentleman,
Silas.
I would like to think so.
So, tell me.
What the fuck are you doing here?
-I... They... -They told me everything.
I need to hear it from you.
I...
You know I take classes at Valley
and those dudes are always looking to score, so...
So I figured, like, I might as well be the one selling to them.
So, let me get this straight.
You saved up ten Bens
selling shit to those chuckleheads over there at Valley?
Yeah.
I'm fucking good.
So what you need me for?
Do you know how long it took me to do that?
Like, just selling, like, loose pills and a gram here and there?
And then I figured you owed me one, so...
I owed you one?
Well, how much has my kid cost you?
How many birthday parties have you thrown?
Yeah, what about diapers?
-No, no, no, no. -Did you buy any?
No, no, no, no.
That's what you wanted, that's what you got.
-No, I did, but... -Yeah.
But, like, don't tell me you didn't appreciate it.
You're tripping.
You are a hustler.
No, I'm just trying to keep my head down, and, like...
take care of my girl.
I respect that.
Fuck it! Let's get you laced up.
Alright.
You ever sell Molly?
No.
Those kids at Valey will eat it up.
It's a lot, though.
Think you can handle that?
Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Because, you see...
if you give me that money,
you understand from that point forward,
you and I are bonded.
And if you don't
bring me back my cut...
it won't matter who the fuck you are.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yeah. I know, I know.
I got it.
-My drink must have spilled... -The fuck?
You know, that shit right there will kill you, baby.
My bad.
Frankie, come here.
Come dry this off before it fucks up something else.
-Pleasure doing business, Silas. -Yeah.
-Wait! -Yeah?
Stay a while.
Come on.
Yo, what the fuck?
Hey, Si!
There's a motherfucking wire in this bag!
Fuck! Go!
I got her. Fucking bitch!
Open the door!
She's in the courtyard!
There she is!
Bring her here!
Fuck, fuck!
Get her!
I got the girl, I got the girl!
Get her! Fuck!
Fuck!
-Goddamn, you fucked up, Frankie. -Get in.
-Silas is going to fucking kill us. -Get in, we got to handle this.
She's golden.
Shut the fuck up, we're going to do her!
-Bro, come on. -Fucking A.
Fuck, man.
Sit up, Switch.
-Christ, what are you doing here? -Shut up.
Shut up in my own home?
We just want to talk to you.
Y'all are on some shit tonight.
-Where's Silas' spot? -Fuck if I know.
You better figure it out in the next 30 seconds.
How am I supposed to figure out something I don't know?
We've been pretty fair to you over the years, haven't we, Switch?
Calm the fuck down, man.
You've taken advantage of me ever since the moment you busted me.
And how many of those days have you spent locked up?
Look, that's not the point.
The point is y'all can't just be coming up in here,
treat me like some fucking ATM machine.
That's exactly what you are until we say different.
Okay, Carcillo, what are you going to do?
You're going to arrest me? For what?
Who put you on to River in the first place?
Y'all wouldn't have shit without me.
Hey!
-Stop. Okay, alright. Look. -Stop talking.
I don't know where he is, but...
-I, I, I... I got a guy who might. -I, I, I...
I swear to God if you're bullshitting us...
-Let's go. -No, hey...
My laundry's going to get wrinkled. Goddamn it!
Man.
I had a girl coming over tonight, too.
Stacy!
-Jesus! -I need help, okay?
-Hey, what's going on? -Meet me out back.
I need help. Meet me out back, okay?
-Please. -Yeah, okay.
-Where is he, Switch? -He works up in there.
-Where? -At the house, with the beanie.
-That him? -Yeah, there he is, right there.
What the fuck?
Yo, where does Silas live?
-Shit. -No, no, no.
Don't move, don't move! Hey! Hey!
-Stand the fuck back! -Okay.
Where does Silas live?
-Fuck you! -Fuck me?
Yeah?
Where does Silas live?
I need your phone, your car,
and I need you to not ask me any questions.
-What? -No questions, please.
I'll owe you big time. I 'll cover your shifts,
anything you want.
-It's always something with you. -Come on, just give me your phone.
I can't! How am I supposed to get home?
Then let me just borrow it!
Fine!
What's the matter, fraidy Cat?
This is only a tiny little bird.
You mean a poor little, teensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy, defenseless bird?
Yeah!
I'm a bad pussy cat
-Hello? -Thank God!
River?
Is Jade okay?
Yeah, of course, she's passed out next to me.
-What's up? -Okay, don't open the door for anyone.
-I'll be there soon. -River, what's going on?
Just don't open the door, I'm on my way.
-Valley PD. -I need to speak
to detective Carcillo or Hernandez, please.
One moment.
-You've reached the desk of... -Fuck!
Detective Carcillo, leave a message and I'll get back to you.
Carcillo, it's River.
I escaped from Silas'.
It's a compound up a dirt road off of Sierra.
The address is 11755 Spade.
I'm headed back to my apartment, so meet me there if you get this.
I need help!
What! Give me the keys.
-Come on! -Seriously, don't fuck up my car, okay?
It's a fucking piece of shit, Stacy. It'll be fine.
White, possibly Latin.
Sixteen and 21 years, winter clothing.
-Get out. -I'm not even near my house.
You think I give a shit? Get the fuck out.
-Get the fuck out! -Y'all are out of your fucking minds!
Fuck you!
Fuck!
Jade?
Mads!
Jade, baby? My God, Mads!
Are you okay? Can you hear me?
Where is Jade?
Jesus Christ!
River?
Who were those guys?
Hello?
Put River on the phone.
Where is my daughter?
You fucking snitch!
Where is she!
You want to see her again?
You're going to do exactly what I say.
Be at Silas' in 30 minutes
or it's nap time for Jade.
Don't fucking touch her!
That's up to you.
What the fuck? River?
Hey, who are these guys?
Who are these guys?
You're doing drug deals with Silas now?
-What's wrong with you? -It's not like that. I got set up.
Hi, there.
I'm Silas.
What's your name?
Jade.
Nice to meet you, Jade.
-I got a plan. -Let me know.
We got to think she can't use her phone, or she would've called.
Yeah.
I want my mom.
How about your dad?
He's an asshole.
Yeah, I heard that too.
You can't go back.
-Alone? You can't. -I have to.
What's going to happen?
You and Jade are coming home. That's it, okay?
-I love you. -I love you too.
What about the station?
She could've called there.
How about a soda?
Yeah?
Thank you.
You have very nice manners, Jade.
Carcillo, it's River.
I escaped from Silas'.
It's a compound up a dirt road off of Sierra.
The address is 11755 Spade.
I'm headed back to my apartment, so meet me there...
-Her apartment. Go. -I need help!
Hey, I need to talk to Stevie.
Okay, come in.
Look who it is!
-You came back. -Yeah, man, not for that.
Yeah, I thought I couldn't handle you.
Stevie, I'm serious, I need some help.
What do you need, Riv?
I need a piece.
A piece?
Yeah, man, I need a weapon.
Yo, you got a piece?
I don't think she want mine!
Yo, you think I just got those laying around
-ready to hand out? -I don't know, honestly.
Yo, Riv, what kind of trouble are you in?
Can you help me or not?
I'm sorry, River. I'm high as fuck right now.
Listen.
It's clean.
Thank you.
Thank her.
Santa Muerte.
The patron saint for those of us living on the outside,
like me, like you.
She brought you here and whatever your facing,
she'll protect you from it.
Come here.
My dearest and most holly Santa Muerte,
my beloved Back Lady, I invoke thy aid and protection for our sister.
My queen, my mother,
I pray that you grant her protection day and night, without fail.
Holy Mother of Shadows,
protect her from all her hidden enemies
and reveal to her those that are false and have only bad intentions for her.
And break down every obstacle that stands
in the path of her happiness.
Uplift her spirit,
and refill it with thy love, for you are our mother.
Amen.
Hope I'll see you soon.
Down here.
Fuck.
Fuck!
You fucked up my man.
Yeah, well, he did step in front of a moving car, so...
Don't get cute.
Facts is facts, man.
What's up with that doll?
It's for my girl. She's attached to it.
Spread your arms.
Spread your legs.
You're fucking difficult.
Most action you've gotten in a while.
You're a funny bitch.
Can I go now?
Yeah.
Downstairs, snitch.
-Mama! -It's okay, baby!
It's okay, it's okay, I'm here.
-Okay. -Have a seat, River.
I was just spending some quality time with Jade.
Cute little thing.
I think I'm going to start seeing her.
Yeah, I mean, we can schedule hangouts and visits, whatever you want now.
How do you like that?
Yeah? Yeah?
Get her out of here.
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Just let her have this.
No.
-Mama! -No!
Rivs, sit down.
-What is wrong with you? -Sit down.
-Mom! -Shut it.
Mom!
-Sit the fuck down. -River, sit down.
-Stay. Stay! -Fuck you.
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Mom! Let me out! Mama!
Mama!
What? Are you just going to let her fucking cry?
Shut the fuck up!
Let me out!
-Do you want to talk? -Yeah, let's fucking talk.
-Mom! -Don't be a cunt.
I heard the mother of my child needed help.
And, yeah, I liked that you didn't come to me with your hands out.
I respected that you wanted to work.
So, I said, "Fuck it."
You never asked me for nothing, besides to leave you and the kid alone.
And did I do that?
Did I do that?
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Because I respect you.
And what do I get in return for that respect?
You wore a wire into my fucking home!
Si... Silas...
-I, I didn't... -Shut the fuck up!
You know, your fucking drink's probably the only reason
we're not in jail right now.
I'm sorry.
I'm, I'm really sorry, man.
They targeted me and I didn't have any other choice.
You always have a choice.
You shut the fuck up
and you take the medicine.
Think about what's in that room.
Because it's not just about me.
And those cops, they jammed me up hard and you were the only thing they wanted.
It was lose my little girl or work for them.
What was I supposed to do?
Yeah.
It's a pretty tough spot to be in.
What y'all think? What should she have done?
-Shut the fuck up. -Take the medicine.
No, Si, come on.
They...
They don't know that a deal happened.
What do they know about me?
Nothing, not where you live...
They don't know who your dealers are, they don't know shit.
And the wire's dead,
because, otherwise, they would've been here a few hours ago.
We can make this right.
We can all go home,
no one in jail,
no one dead.
-Wouldn't that be nice? -Yeah.
Yes.
Just let us go home, it's been a long night.
We're all gassed, man.
You tried to fuck me, River.
No.
And I get it. I once fucked you too.
So what? You're trying to get me back, now?
No, no, it's not like that.
No, I swear, I swear on Jade's life.
The fuck is that supposed to mean to me?
I mean, just... You got to believe me, man
I believe you.
I do.
It just doesn't fucking matter.
Because I can't let a snitch go.
It's bad for business.
I'm sorry, Riv.
No, step the fuck back! Stay there and drop your fucking gun!
-Take it easy. -Put it on the floor.
Stay there. Kick it, kick it!
Hey! Calm down!
Let my fucking daughter go!
-Can't do that, Riv. -Let her go!
-Si, I'm not fucking around! -Riv.
Riv, put the gun...
Yo!
Open the door and let us go, Si!
Vic.
Take it easy.
Let her go!
Get off her!
Let her go!
-Come here, come here. -Let her go!
Everybody just take a breath!
Jesus Christ!
Move, Vic, take the girl.
Don't you worry about her, she'll be fine.
Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit!
Let me the fuck out!
Yo, Vic, hold her.
-Fuck you! -Shut the fuck up!
Stop it!
She's fucking strong, man.
Take up the back stairs.
Fuck it, man.
Hold her tight.
Yo, where are you going?
-Got to go check the door. -My leg, man.
I'm going to fucking bleed out.
It's a flesh wound, man, you'll be fine.
Yo. Watch her.
Valley PD. You're going to want to put that down.
Slowly.
Hey!
Time to wake up.
Come on.
Stay still.
Things could've been a lot different for you.
Hands on your fucking head.
Hey, hey, sit down.
Look at me. Here.
Open your eyes.
Open them up.
That's it, baby, that's it.
The fuck did you do?
-Fuck. -Come on, come on, come on.
-Get out of here. -Come on.
Drop her, drop her, drop her.
Man, leave her here. Get the fuck out of here.
Hey, hey, sit down!
Can you move it?
-Enough. -Right.
I think it's time we call this in.
Vic!
Shit!
Yo, where is everybody?
We heard shots and they went upstairs.
-Where's the girl? -She balled, man.
You couldn't stop a little girl from leaving?
She stomped on my fucking leg!
You let a rat in here!
And you can't do your fucking job!
Yes, this is detective Carcillo requesting backup.
We're at 11755 Spade Road.
Shots have been fired, an officer's been hit
Si?
Vic?
Don't say a fucking word!
Mama!
Go, go.
What the fuck?
What about Frankie?
Fuck Frankie!
Yeah, no, I'll go get them.
Fuck!
Fuck you.
Daddy's got you.
I couldn't get her.
There.
Come, get going. Get in here.
Here, take the girl.
Si, we haven't got time. We got to go.
-We got to fucking go, man. -Go!
River!
Thank you for her.
Mom!
Drop my daughter, Vic!
Put her down!
Now!
I said put her fucking down!
River, put the gun down!
Stay the fuck out of this, Carcillo!
Now!
He's dead.
Riv, come on, don't do anything fucking stupid.
They took my fucking daughter!
I know, you got her back.
It's over, let us handle this.
I'm done being your fucking pawn.
That's fine, just put the gun down.
Say it.
You're done, River.
Turn around!
Get on your knees! Turn around! Hands on your head now!
Down! Don't you fucking move!
-Chill! -You fucking chill.
Don't you fucking move!
River!
-My fucking leg, man! -Shut up.
I don't give a shit about your fucking leg.
Bro, fucking chill.
Fuck, man.
We stayed dangerous.
Yeah, you fucking right we did.
Drink some more, baby.
Is that all you got?
