A Man Apart
The Mexican cartels have
1,500 miles of border between them
and the greatest drug-consuming
nation on earth...
... separated
by a 15-foot-high fence
which starts at the Pacific Ocean
and travels the distance
of four states.
They flood our streets,
day after day, week after week,
at an average of 20 tons a month.
That's enough to provide
a line of cocaine
for every man, woman,
and child on this planet.
- Yeah?
- It's me.
What's up?
I've got tickets
to the Tuesday game.
- Is that right?
- Row 10, seat 14.
14? Oh, I'm with that!
I'll see you there.
From 10 tons
a week ago in Colombia
to one bump tonight in L.A.,
worlds away from the men
who run
the whole goddamned show.
And remember, no one must
make all the arrests.
We book them downtown,
and the extradition will
take place from there.
Are we clear?
We're clear that you wouldn't be
going in there without us.
You heard the man.
Let's get ready to move.
Demetrius, let's have the gun.
- Est loco.
- You gotta be kidding me, Frost.
We are on their turf.
Isn't that right, Sean?
Come on.
Memo Lucero was a Colombian
who saw opportunity in Mexico's
northern border towns.
He set up shop in Tijuana
and built the busiest,
most lucrative drug pipeline
the world has ever seen.
Lucero never slept
in the same place twice,
so no one
ever knew where he was.
But after seven years,
we finally tracked him down.
Let's go.
Frost, this is stupid.
They call us down here.
They take away our weapons?
They expect us to go
into a building
full of drunken
cartel gunmen unarmed?
I mean, that isn't fun.
You're not getting paid
to have fun.
Good luck, gentlemen.
Bureaucrats!
Ay, chingado.
All right.
Stay down!
Sh*t!
You have no idea what kind
of mistake you're making.
Put your hands up!
Things are only
gonna get worse, for all of us.
Do me a favor
and shut the f*** up!
Come on.
Boss, let me go home
and see my wife.
- I'll think about it.
- I can't go home and see my wife?
I'll think about it!
Get out of here, you knucklehead!
Hey! Good job!
Damn right, good job!
Seven years, dog!
We got him!
- Where are you?
- Honey, I'm still down here.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
It was a little crazy,
but I'll be home tomorrow
or the next day.
Right.
Baby...
... what are you wearing?
One of your old jerseys.
Not that blue one that you
look incredibly sexy in.
Yeah, the one that
smells like you.
- Is that a good thing?
- It's a great thing.
What are you doing right now?
Making candles.
Is that pine or evergreen?
Sean!
It's my favorite one.
Of course it is.
Oh, I miss you!
Two months ago,
with the arrest of Memo Lucero,
we finally dealt the Pacific corridor
its first substantial blow.
We didn't talk like cops,
we didn't look like cops,
we didn't act like cops.
For that matter, we never
hung out with them, either.
We had an edge that came
from growing up on the streets.
That's why were
the most successful
anti-narcotics crew
in law enforcement.
We made the dent that
the naysayers said we couldn't make.
From this day forward,
things will be different.
By taking out Lucero,
we have cut the head
off the dragon.
And now we are sending
an emphatic message
to anyone out there
who may have designs
on filling the void
left by Memo Lucero.
The cartels know now
that the U.S. Will not stand by idly
while they pollute our shores
with their narcotics.
What's happening, homes?
Peace will be restored,
and the flow of cocaine will stop.
I'm happy to announce
that, effective today,
their business
in Southern California is over.
To the men and women
of our undercover units,
enjoy the accolades,
because you've certainly earned them.
They want to play in a tournament.
They want to ball against us, dog.
Against who?
Ramon Cardena
was killed yesterday.
- Who, Lucero's guy?
- Yeah, state's attorney's.
I'm not gonna shed
any tears over it,
but I am concerned
about one thing...
this could get a little bit messy.
Frost, this is for you.
It's eucalyptus, for enlightenment.
Enlightenment?
Baby, he's a senior citizen.
- Give him the Viagra candle.
- Sean!
Big Sexy!
What's up, dog?
What did I tell you about smoking?
I got you, dog.
You don't want me to
put you in the sleeper hold.
What's up with all these
damn narc cars out here?
Is this a police convention?
Supposed to be
a damn barbecue, dog.
Believe me, you're cool here.
You're with me. It's my house.
I sure hope
it's cool to go through.
- Thanks.
- Hi.
What's up with that?
What's up, my Main D?
Yo, Sexy,
what's going on, boy?
Man, it's cracking out here.
Check that out.
- Yeah!
- Oh, my goodness!
Talkin' to me!
Yeah?
Imagine she was like us...
just wanted to f***,
you know what I'm saying?
Right here, right now.
Why can't women think like that?
Sometimes a man
got to get his f*** on
without love getting
in the way of it, that's all I'm saying.
Can I get an amen up in here?
- Amen.
- That's what I'm talking about.
Now, I'm sure that my man Sean
feels the same way, right?
- Yes.
- Huh?
- Yes.
- Get the hell out of here!
Why you trying
to do that to me?
Hey, dog, his girl
got him whipped, dog, for real.
- Oh, you're not whipped?
- No. I'm peeping right now.
You still got the game?
Candice!
No, no, I'm just joking.
the survival of the species...
You're having a what?
Both of y'all whipped!
Look at y'all!
What are you guys
talking about?
You see what I'm talking about?
All changed!
Want to help out your pops?
Give me...
D.E.A., punk. Don't move,
b*tch, or I'll blast you!
No, that's enough of that.
Don't be teaching her that
funky armlock and curse words.
What?
I didn't make her do it.
Hicks taught her that, not me.
- You didn't teach her that?
- I just taught her to...
- I love watching you with her.
- Do you?
You're so sweet.
Sounded rough to you?
Yeah. I know you taught her that.
I love you.
Want me to kick everyone out?
You read my mind.
- Who loves you?
- You.
Qu pasa, homes?
What's up?
What do you think, homes?
What do I think?
Got equipment or what, man?
Good sh*t, man.
I think we should
let the games begin.
I'll take care of him.
I'm so proud of you, baby.
Who is it, baby?
Get down!
Stay down!
F***!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, you f***, you come
into my house while I sleep?
You can't kill Diablo.
What did you say?
You cannot kill Diablo.
Stace, call 9-1-1.
Get up.
Are you...?
Baby...
...Im okay.
I got 'em. I protected you.
You okay?
- You hit?
- I am.
Honey?
I'm okay.
9- 1-1.
All right, baby...
Hello?
...look at me.
Sir?
What's the nature
of the emergency?
I'm fine.
What kind of assistance
do you require?
I'm okay.
I can't understand you, sir.
Can you speak up?
Baby...
Are you there, sir?
It's all right.
Say hi to Uncle Sean.
Hi, Sean.
It's all right, dog.
Just rest.
Stacy.
Stacy.
Sean.
Sean.
Where's Stacy?
