'cause I don't want your

butt falling on me.

Make sure they use

the gate for safety.

Don't need a gate.

Slept in a bunk

or two in my day.

They had bunk beds back then?

All right, little lady.

So that's how it's

gonna be, huh?

Hey, Bernie. You up?

No.

You know, I can keep doing this thing.

You don't have to-.

Boy, you better shut your mouth

before I coldcock your ass.

Good night, John-boy.

Shut up.

Rise and shine, boys.

Jules, honey, don't.

Let them sleep.

I'm so sorry.

Bernie, how'd you end up there?

I don't know.

I must have fell.

Told ya you needed the gate.

Okay, honey. Come on.

Sorry, guys.

You all right? Doesn't that

liver ever give you a break?

It's not my liver.

I had some of Rosaria's

leftovers this morning...

and I've been pissin'

out my ass ever since.

I don't know if I'll be able to do

that beach house thing with ya.

I gotta get to a bathroom,

and I'm gonna be there

for a long time.

We'll find you a bathroom.

Just don't do it here. Don't do it here.

You all right? Yeah.

Can I help you?

Oh, hey.

Yeah, I was supposed to meet my friend

here. Guess he hasn't made it home yet.

Resident's name?

Uh, Adolfo Herrera.

You look familiar.

Yeah, I been here

a couple times.

No, no, no. From someplace else.

TV or somethin'.

Are you an actor? Who, me?

Are you kiddin'? Wish I was.

Those guys make all the dough, huh?

Tell me about it.

I've got a cousin, he shot one of those

insurance commercials. Took in five figures.

He worked one day.

Can you believe that sh*t?

Meanwhile, I'm driving around in this

piece of crap for 10 bucks an hour.

Sucks balls.

Anyway, if no one's

comin' to let you in,

I'm gonna have to

ask you to leave.

He told me to wait

for him out front.

I'm sorry.

It's homeowners' rules.

Well, rules were

made to be broken.

Shh. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Who the f*** are you?

I told you I didn't want to fight.

Bad Ass!

What do you want?

You killed my friend

Manny Parkes.

How do you want to

die, motherf***er?

Oh, finally...

I get the pleasure to make

your acquaintance, Senor Vega.

I didn't order the hit.

- Who did?

- I don't know.

Freeze!

Back away, Vega.

I'm really sorry to barge in here, Mr.

Herrera. The side door was open.

You done good, Steven.

Really? 'Cause I was

hoping for a raise.

Hey, hey! Hey!

Don't push it.

Now,

as for you, Senor Vega...

I don't appreciate you barging

into my place of residence.

I'm a-I'm a recluse, you know.

I'm not big on visitors.

But you can relate. Right?

So, my friend,

I'm gonna have to say good-bye.

If I were you, a**hole,

I'd step the hell back.

Actually, I think you

better step the hell back.

You motherf***er! Oh,

you motherf***er!

Now, where were we?

Who made the hit?

My father, you f***in' a**hole!

My father. Okay, good.

Now that we're seein' eye to

eye, where can we find him?

The consulate!

- What consulate?

- The f***in' Argentinean consulate!

A lot of security at

them consulates, Frank.

My uncle used to work at

the Uganda consulate.

They ran that joint

like Fort Knox.

Where else can we find him?

I don't know.

Well, then text him!

Are you f***ing insane? You want

me to set up my own father?

Yeah.

Text him now.

Oh, sh*t!

Buenos tardes, senores.

Care to sit?

If I wasn't an

officer of the law,

I would kill you right now.

Well, that never stopped

the rest of the L.A.P.D.

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can be held

against you in a court of law.

It's never going to

stick, gentlemen.

You have the right

to an attorney.

Leave a nice tip.

We got him.

Thank you.

Can we go to Chuck E. Cheese?

Can we go to Chuck E. Cheese?

Please? Please?

Sure. Of course we can. Sure.

Thanks, Uncle Frank.

That was so much fun.

Hey, that was so much fun

we're gonna do it again.

I want you to have this.

Oh, wait. You won that.

That's yours.

I know. That's why I want you to have it.

It can keep you safe and sound.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I'll never take it off.

It was so sudden.

He had been complaining of chest

pains earlier in the day,

and then three hours later

he had a heart attack.

I'm so sorry. He was so young.

Yeah.

It was toughest on the kids.

Thank goodness for work.

Kept my mind off things.

What exactly do you do?

Residential real estate. I can

help you buy your next home.

Boy, I'm sure in the

market for one.

What about you?

What did you do before all this?

I owned a hot dog cart.

A hot dog cart? Really?

Yeah. Yeah.

Same location for

almost 40 years.

And then Baxter got cancer,

and I sold the house to

pay for his treatments.

With the money left over,

I bought the center.

Well, the kids absolutely

adore you there.

Well, they're great kids.

Manny was the closest thing I

ever came to having a son.

I know, Frank.

There was a strong connection.

Same with Julia.

You have a wonderful

little girl there.

Oh, man. She is a pistol, right?

And she's only five.

I can't imagine her at 16.

Boys don't

stand a chance.

You're a very special

man, Frank Vega.

You have a genuine spirit.

People gravitate to it.

Me included.

Well, you know, I just-I

try to do the right thing.

Well, then the right thing

would be to kiss me.

Never mind me. I'm just

lookin' for some fro-yo.

So you are covered-water damage,

fire damage and electrical.

And we'll also cover the expenses

of a temporary new space...

until the renovation

is complete.

So I won't have to pay a thing?

No, you're covered.

- Vega, you got a minute?

- Yeah. Excuse me.

I don't have to pay a dime.

Fully covered.

Hey, that's great, Frank.

Congratulations.

But listen, Frank.

They let Herrera go.

- What?

- He's an untouchable.

He's got diplomatic immunity.

You mean he can murder somebody,

deal drugs in our neighborhood,

and they let him go?

You got any real proof?

Yeah. I saw it with my own eyes.

How could you let him go?

I've made my peace that you're

gonna do whatever you want.

God knows you're not

gonna listen to me.

But this thing-Unless you have

undeniable concrete proof,

this guy's never

gonna go to jail.

It's a no-win.

You hear what I'm sayin', Frank?

It's a no-win.

Looks like your boy brought

himself some protection.

Follow that Escalade.

You bring your wallet?

Yeah.

Good. 'Cause I think this

sh*t's gonna be expensive.

Meat packing?

What the hell is

Herrera doing here?

We're gonna find out.

But first pay the man.

Hey!

- What do I owe you?

- 83.85.

Jesus Christ!

Wait here. Okay.

Thank you.

Bring it over here.

No, you gotta pick 'em up...

You gotta pick 'em up.

There.

What the hell we doing, man?

Oh, sh*t. Wait.

What's wrong?

Nothin'. Just-Just keep goin'.

Boy, we ain't got no time

for checkin' inventory.

Check this out.

They were importing the

stuff through the meat.

Straight from Argentina

into our neighborhood.

Has a bill, has a-.

What, uh-What are you doing?

Uh, good day, gentlemen.

I'm Agent Black, this
