I need to know if you're aware...

...that your partner's piece

was used on a hit of a Mexican national.

He's playing coy.

Paul's gun was found...

...in the dead hand of one Juan Diaz.

Juan was the shooter from

the cell phone store, you may remember.

- Got himself an older brother.

- Poh Boy.

Which is fun to say.

His name is Poh Boy and

he's looking to expand his drug business.

He's looking for any help he can get.

Including cops.

Just wanna know if you're aware

of the situation...

...that your partner has gotten you into.

Help us help you.

Think of us like your diary.

You guys are just out here

playing cops and robbers, aren't you?

Got your guns, your badges...

...your cute little boots.

But really you don't have any idea

what's going on.

If you ever try to play me against

my partner again, I will f*** you up.

You first.

You should know better.

Hi.

I think I should tell you something.

This is real nice,

but nothing is gonna happen between us.

See, I'm married. And I love her.

I have feelings for you too.

Not that I don't want anything

to happen between us.

I think you're beautiful and sexy.

And you probably even got a bit of a nasty

streak when it comes to the bang-bang.

Bang-bang.

Yeah. But nothing is gonna happen.

I hope you can respect that.

Hey. Hey, wait a minute. What? What?

I didn't mean anything about the whole

bang-bang thing.

No, I can't get in the shower with you.

You're getting in the shower.

Don't even look at me like that.

You just a bear. Shut the f*** up.

No.

No. No, Debbie, no.

No, Debbie, no.

Diaz.

Diaz. D-I-A...

Yeah, okay. That's for you, Ali.

Okay, thank you.

Thanks, buddy. Be safe.

Take care of yourself.

Hello? Hello?

Hey, hello? Yeah?

I'm sorry, did I wake you up?

Hi, I'm calling about the Diaz funeral.

Yes, Juan Diaz. That's right, Juan Diaz.

What time is that? What time is that?

Okay, 2:
30, thank you. Thank you.

I'm so sorry I woke you up.

Okay, have a good night. Sweet dreams.

Ali, I'll see you. Stay out of trouble.

It's just me. Where's the girl?

She's in the shower.

Have you been crying?

I saw the nanny cam.

I wish you didn't have to see that.

I couldn't let you look at it, that's all.

I've been where you are.

Roy?

Yeah.

Come here, man.

- Look like you need a hug.

- Whoa, you really read that one wrong.

- It's just that I'm vulnerable.

- How long's she been in there?

I don't know. Does this mean

that we're not broken up anymore?

What are you, in the fifth grade?

You're my partner.

How long's she been in here?

Hey. Hey, yo, open up. I gotta go.

Gabriela, just put a towel on, okay?

I'm just gonna... I gotta take a...

Oh, man. What the f***?

You're a great cop. You are a great cop.

- I'm supposed to be holding her hand?

- You don't let her get out the window.

You didn't hear that?

You fall asleep on the bed, did you?

No. No.

Here, you speak Spanish.

- I know what peligro means.

- What's it mean?

It's Puerto Rican for penguin.

I knew that.

What? We got...

Whoa.

That's something...

...that you put in a computer.

- In a computer.

That banger that got killed in the

cemetery when his car went in the grave?

- Poh Boy's little brother.

- So?

So Mangold and Hunsaker

put them together.

They think I'm a dirty cop because the sh*t

bandit gave Poh Boy my gun? That blows.

Hey.

Police. We need to use your computer.

Well, I don't know.

I'm just a night manager...

...and for something like that,

I'd probably have to call...

...and get an okay from the general manager

on that.

Translate this, put your GED to work, okay?

Thank you. How you doing?

- What do you do?

- Housekeeping.

She's an hourly housekeeper.

Hourly-rate housekeeper.

- Hey, Jim, check this out.

- What?

Now I know I'm not bugging.

Looks like her boyfriend's bank accounts

and suppliers.

This could make Poh Boy

drug king of New York.

Boom, bam, boom.

Seven hundred and fifty million dollars.

Or 7 billion pesos. Either way...

Know what I'm thinking?

Poh Boy never wanted Gabriela.

- He wanted this flash drive.

- Yes, he did.

She's very afraid for you. The note says:

"I have put you in danger.

You should not die because of me.

Thank you for your help.

You were sweet like chocolate."

I think she's talking...

...to you.

Okay. I got an APB out on Gabriela.

We got one hour

while Poh Boy's at his brother's funeral...

...to break into his house and get my card.

How?

- You're not very chatty, Darnell.

- Will you shut the f*** up?

I'm just, like,

a social butterfly by nature, you know?

Hey.

Do you wanna be my jail cell BFF,

without the forced rape?

Look, man. Can't you see

that I'm dealing with some real deep sh*t?

- Can't you see I'm trying to reach...?

- Hey, guard.

Hey, guard. You know?

- Guard.

- Guard.

- Back the f...

- Back the f...

- Hey...

- Hey...

You f***ing with me?

Are you f***ing...?

Back the f*** up, I...

I will jump on the other side and...

You trying to...?

Oh, yeah. This motherf***er.

Yeah. That's, like, one of the things

I like to do.

I like to play the oboe too.

And I do parkour.

That's a couple fun facts about me.

You know what I mean?

Talk to me. Tell me. I wanna know you.

Come on, man.

I wanna get inside of you, Darnell.

What's your vibe? What do you do?

What do you do, man?

I wanna know about you.

Like, I wanna know your thing,

you know?

What's up with you? Tell me.

- I knit sweaters.

- What?

- No way.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

- Yeah, come on, I knit sweaters.

- No, you can't.

- Yeah, I can.

- No, you can't.

- Yes, I can.

- No, you can't.

- Yeah, I do, man.

I could knit the f***

out of a big, nice sweater.

Hey, nutjob.

Someone just paid your bail.

- Yeah?

- Who the f*** would pay his bail?

Poopsie. The window you're gonna break in

in this house is on the second floor.

Yeah, second-story window. No problem.

We're only gonna have about 30 to 40

minutes with the house empty.

I need you to get in there and get up to the

second floor where his diamond vault is.

Probably where he keeps the card.

It's gonna be easier

than giving Paul's wife an ATM.

Ass to mouth.

He said ass to mouth.

Yo, that sh*t's not funny, man.

- His wife really is cheating on him.

- Wait, what?

- No.

- Yeah, yeah.

No.

No. Why are women like that?

Oh! I feel terrible now.

How are you gonna deal with this,

Paul, emotionally?

I don't know. I'm not sure.

Hey.

Don't you give up on love, Paul,

you hear me?

- Don't you give up on love. Okay?

- I almost gave up.

- Don't give up.

- No, I ain't giving up.

- Because love inspires. You know?

- Yes, it do. Damn.

- And you're full of love. You'll be fine.

- Love.

- Full of it.

- You are.

- Got a whole bag of it. Yeah.

- I can see that.

Yeah, you know something, man? David?

What you just said to me moved me, man.

It was heavy stuff.

- You know where I came up with that?

- Where?

- When I was doing the thing that I love.

- Taking a sh*t in somebody's car?
