They've been tagging these

girls with GPS trackers.

Pieces of sh*t.

Here. Narcos said

nothing about it?

No, actually they're tracking a large

influx of carfentanyl into the city.

Well, good.

Where's it coming from?

Almost all of it's seeping in through

one organization's territory.

Who?

Guy named

Max Livington.

- You f***ing with me?

- You know him?

I've been working on him

for two years.

[sighs]

[Roman]

Haley.

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.

Why are you here?

- You can't be here.

- It's okay. It's okay. Hey.

[whimpering]

What happened to you?

I called your phone

like a thousand times.

Why didn't you answer?

He told me I can't

talk to anybody.

What? What are you

talking about? Who?

- Who told you this?

- [whimpering]

Hey. Come here,

come here, come here.

These are my brothers.

This is Deklan and Brandon.

Watch yourself, okay?

[sobbing] I'm so sorry.

- I didn't answer my phone.

- Haley.

I didn't know

what else to do.

[Deklan] It's okay. Haley?

Hey. Hey.

Who did that to you?

They're gonna kill me.

No one's gonna hurt you.

We're gonna get you

out of town, somewhere safe.

All right?

[sniffles]

Now, what happened to Mia?

She got in a fight with

two guys at the club.

They run girls.

They run you?

No. I... I strip.

They come to the strip club

and try to find johns.

That's how I know of them.

They kidnap these girls?

Is that what they do?

From what I understand,

no, they don't have to.

They hang out at the soup

kitchens and women's shelters

and look for broken girls who

don't have anywhere to stay.

Hey!

Hey, come here.

Come here.

Don't be shy.

You're too hot to be

freezing out here, man.

Don't break my heart.

Come on. Let me

take you to dinner.

Let me take you to dinner.

I know you're hungry.

Come on. Hop in.

[Haley] They pretended

to care about her,

bought her all this

fancy jewelry and clothes,

and got her hooked on

all these drugs.

Yeah. Right here.

- [chattering]

- [door beeps]

And then it was too late.

They... They turned on her.

This is John.

And I'm gonna

ask you to f*** him.

[mutters]

On the...

[tense music]

Yeah. What happened to her?

She tried to run.

And they found her.

This crazy guy, ugh, he gathered

up a bunch of the girls

and made them watch as he

poured lighter fluid on her.

[screaming,

whimpering]

No! No!

[screaming]

[screaming]

No! No!

I talked to her a couple days

later in the hospital and then...

I guess somebody

found her in Lake Erie.

Okay, but why my fiance?

Huh? Why Mia?

Because she disrespected them.

Haley,

I want you to hear me.

We're gonna punish the people

that did this to you.

But I need to know

who they are, okay?

Can you do that for me?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

I don't... I don't

know their names,

but I could show you

a picture.

Okay. Good.

Here. Tell you what. Bring that over here.

Let me see.

- You know where I can find them?

- Yeah.

[mid-tempo techno music]

You heard from Max?

No.

I hope he chills out

soon, man.

Don't worry about Max.

Let me worry about Max.

"Let me worry about Max."

You said that last time.

You gonna kill yourself one

of those days with this.

- Hopefully.

- [laughs]

Your cousin's

gonna be famous.

Nah, man. Did you watch

the game yesterday?

No, I didn't. I just wanted

to watch it for him.

Yeah, he's balled out. He's

been balling, man. It's cool.

- Dude's like...

- [Mia] Hey!

Hey! Can you hear me?

Oh, yeah.

I'm gonna kill you! You

have to let me out of here!

Wow. She's got some fight.

Let me out of here!

I said let me out of here!

[locks click]

Don't touch me.

Please let me go. I swear

I'm not gonna tell anyone.

- Mm, mm, mm.

- Please.

I'm gonna have fun

with this one, bro.

Come here! Where you going?

- F***!

- [Mia grunts]

I swear to God, you're

gonna have to kill me.

Oh, yeah? Am I?

Get off me!

Oh! F***! Ah!

[up-tempo dramatic music]

- Whoa! Slow down!

- Let me go!

- Whoa! Slow down!

- Let me go! Let me go!

- Let me go!

- Slow down! Whoa.

Oh, God.

You're gorgeous. Hmm.

- And she's feisty, too.

- [shrieking] Get off! Get off!

Somebody shut her up!

Shut her up!

I haven't seen her before.

Where did you get her?

We picked her up

from the...

the White Horse Club.

The White Horse... Why would you

pick someone up from there, huh?

Look, man, you said

you needed product.

I said I needed product,

but not product that's gonna blow

up the missing person report

or the Amber Alert.

It's not as bad as

you think, Max. Honestly...

You're telling me

that the products are dying,

and the police are

raiding my spots

whenever the f***

they feel like it...

and you idiots are grabbing

girls out of local areas

in front of

f***ing cameras?

We picked her up

from a blind spot in the alley.

No one saw

a goddamned thing.

I know how you did it,

but you don't do it at all.

Okay?

Shoot 'em.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Hold on. Hold on.

Max. Max. Max.

Max. Max. Max.

- Whoa, Richard!

- Come on. Come on, man.

Come on, Max.

I'm sorry, man.

Max, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You know what? I got something

a little bit better.

Give me the gun.

[tense music]

She's gonna shoot 'em.

- [whimpering]

- Untie her.

Come on.

Come on. I take it that you've

never killed someone before.

All you gotta do is take your

finger, put it in the trigger.

Come on, Max.

It's actually real easy.

You take your finger,

and you point it right here.

- Come on!

- Wait. Wait. Wait. Max!

[stammering] Max.

Take your hand right here,

and you put it right there.

Come on, Max.

[whimpers]

Listen...

and you listen close.

I want the girls

off the dope.

We're gonna dump

this product in Vegas.

We're gonna start off fresh.

You got me?

And if you lose another one

of my f***in' products...

I'mma cut your f***in' nose

and your f***in' ears off.

You understand me?

Yeah.

[ominous music]

You're more trouble then you're worth.

You know that?

Against the wall.

Hands against the wall.

See that?

Stay there.

Stay there!

All right.

Give me your hands.

[whispering]

I'd love to hump you.

[locks click]

[up-tempo dramatic music]

Go ahead when you're ready.

Okay. What you're doing right now

is you're bobbling the punch.

So when you come up, you wanna

go from here, straight out.

One, two, three.

Here, then punch.

Up, straight out, then you

ride the front target.

It's not about speed.

It's about control.

Slow down.

Easy. There we go.

So when I move, you move.

When I stop, you stop.

Ah-ah. Now you're in

the line of fire.

Roman, I want you to take a picture

of Mia and put it in your mind.

And then forget

about yourself.

This is all

about her now.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

You bring her home.

Of course.

What's this joker doing?

Oh, hell, no.

[men grunting]

[gunshots]

[buzzer sounds]

Something must be wrong

with my sight system.

Avery, how are ya?

Is your secretary deaf?

Well, she is, actually.

I don't even know why she

answers the phone anymore,
