Let's go to work.

"Blood in, blood out."

That's the oath we made.

Them the bones that made us

survive inside the joint.

Any man can live or die violently.

You ride with the brand,

you die with the brand.

I got a safe cracking job

I want you to run point on.

I'll be honest with you.

I was kind of hoping

for something bigger.

What do you got in mind?

How about a couple of

them names off that list?

We got guys to do that. What

you wanna go back to that for?

'Cause I miss the action.

Besides, that's where

the money's at.

What do you say?

You do this one last thing for us

and then I'll let you get a taste.

Pull!

Mr Adams, we have a variety

of matters to discuss today.

Dave Moore's trial

starts next week.

A juror has reached out.

He wants six grand up front

and a job at $400 a week.

That'll guarantee a hung jury

plus a push for an acquittal.

- $300.

- $300.

We'll give him a no-show

at the trucking firm.

That's great.

Pull!

Escrow on the buildings

in southeast Florida

that Morris introduced

to us is closed.

We've sold every unit.

We should see revenues of $1.4 million

over our original projections.

And lastly, our friends that Morris

introduced us to in the Middle East,

they put a final

offer on the table.

They will fund our operations in Louisiana

if we agree to act on their behalf.

All right. Close the deal.

Pull!

Nice!

Lutin's partners Edgar Billings and

Gerald Kaye are in charge of the list.

The hits are coming

out of New Orleans.

Lutin gets the orders and

then he farms 'em out.

That's what I got.

If you can just get a direct order

from Lutin to you, on a wire...

A wire?

He just went back to work and you

want him to wear a f***ing wire?

Put a tap on that goddamn lawyer's

phone, that's what you should do.

He's an attorney, Carter. Anything

we get would be inadmissible.

It's information, Fitch.

What's that other deal?

Well, Lutin's got this lobbyist

from D.C. in his pocket.

And he's been brokering all kinds

of lucrative deals for him.

And he's got a group

of sand n*ggers.

Arabs from the Middle East.

They got a truckload

of guns for us.

- What group?

- Libyans.

A truckload?

All right, Jesse, you know what?

We're gonna need a little time on this.

I'll have to take a look. Okay?

This has got to be now.

ATF's got a handle here. We've

dealt with this group before.

The hell we talking about here?

We got one shot at this and ATF's

gonna throw their d*cks around?

We're gonna have a problem

with you, aren't we?

You're gonna have a big problem

if you don't watch your step.

All right, stand down, Carter!

I talk to Nukes daily,

so I'm running point here.

- Jesse wears a wire.

- God damn it, Fitch.

You blow this deal and we

blow everything afterwards.

Take some initiative and get

these a**holes in line.

All right. Count seems to be good.

Hey, Catfish, you could do me

some help up here right now.

How we doing up there?

Good, man.

Inventory's all here.

We're good.

Pack this sh*t up.

Pack it up.

All right.

Hey.

Is there a problem?

No, everything's fine.

We're paying in full.

What the f*** you looking at,

you piece of sh*t?

Shut the f*** up!

This ain't the time.

This ain't the place.

You should listen to your boss.

Everything's good.

- You piece of sh*t.

- You know what?

F*** you, sand n*gger!

God damn it, we got a

fire fight going down.

Go, go, go, go!

Get in the car, get in the car!

Get in the car!

- Buzz, get the bag!

- Okay, okay!

Got it!

Go, go, go!

Move, move!

You piece of sh*t!

Man, the n*gger stepped out of line.

I had to f***ing burn him.

You had to keep your mouth shut!

On a job, you don't

do sh*t unless I say!

Get the f*** off of me!

Next time you f*** me up,

I'm gonna leave you where I find you!

You got it?

Yeah.

Unload that truck.

Ready?

I had no previous knowledge of any

Libyans being under investigation.

So if stealing me in the middle of the

night is some kind of accusation...

I'm not accusing you, Mr Morris.

I just find it interesting that

right around the time I employ you,

- my operation starts having problems.

- Yeah, but that wasn't...

It is interesting, isn't it?

Now I need to know if this

is an isolated incident,

if the FBI impeding on my work

is the result of a deeper threat.

What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting you contact

your friends in Washington.

With all due respect, Mr Adams,

that's not what I was retained for.

Well, Dan, it is now.

Look, to get that type of information,

I'm gonna need clearances I don't have.

I start sniffing around, people are

going to start asking questions.

Well, I'm asking the

questions now, Mr Morris.

I want answers.

Intel came forth at the 11th

hour that Naseem Kazuri,

an international arms dealer,

was to be present at this meet.

So, ATF was tasked to observe

and report and that's all.

And that ain't what they did.

- No, because your informant and his...

- My informant.

- Yes, because your...

- My informant.

Because your informant and his psychopath

crew greased half our political interest.

You weren't informed, so what?

I better be informed!

'Cause this ain't falling short.

Now, any of y'all got any collaborative

agendas in the works, I want to see them.

These other agencies, what timelines

they're looking at, what deadlines,

and is there a purposeful lack of

communication between competing agencies

who are right now charting future

mistakes as we f***ing speak?

That is not your concern, Carter!

This is not about me!

Bud!

Get over here, God damn it.

What?

- You're over-involved.

- Bullshit!

You're hanging it all on Weiland, you're

gonna end up hanging yourself, Bud.

I gave my word, Mike.

To Jesse, to his kid.

This isn't a commitment,

it's a case!

You're a f***ing cop and

he's a f***ing criminal.

This is the job!

Now, you want to keep your job?

Do yourself a favour. Do us

both a favour and take a walk.

Thanks for coming down, Mike.

I appreciate it.

Carter's been berating my

agents for the last hour now.

Okay? And frankly, Carter's preference

for thug tactics isn't helping.

Isn't helping?

- It'll all be in my report, I don't mean...

- Isn't helping?

Let's not miss what

just happened here.

Just 'cause we work for the same

cause doesn't mean we work for you.

What are you gonna do now?

Send Jesse back out? Earn his trust?

Bud Carter delivered the biggest informant

in the history of the state into your lap,

and you and the people you work

for are gonna let it go to sh*t.

That's gonna be in my report.

Keith.

How's life at the Department

of Justice treating you?

Look, I really appreciate you

flying down here with this.

Is this the file?

You tell me.

How deeply are you

involved in this?

Look, I just needed a favour.

It's not a favour. It's a felony.

There's a US Attorney

General in here.

A problem like this attracts huge

flies, so let's hear it. All of it.

Where's this going to lead?
