Shotgun's still not answering.

Pull your cell batteries,

in case he got pinched.

You two, you ride in the back,

since you're both validated.

Let's load up.

Well, our ci's dead.

Harlon's f***ing Mia.

How was your day?

All right, so what do you wanna

do, hit the Indian casinos

or what, you got a plan b?

Because atf ain't

heard sh*t either.

A different cell called our

cis, what, two hours ago?

We located it in moreno valley,

then it f***ing disappeared too.

Cockroaches are making moves.

Horvath caught back-up.

He's right behind us.

What time is it now?

Eight minutes to eleven.

Yo, we're in business! Yo!

The original incoming cell just

passed palm desert on the 10.

It's 10:
54 now.

If we can just get the exact

location, we can set up on them.

Here.

About five miles out.

Got it.

Let's go, we got the

coordinates! Let's ride out!

All right, load up!

It's half a mile up that way.

All right, turn in and stop.

Turn your cell back

on, post up out here.

Text me if you see anything.

Will do.

Let me see your gun.

Keep driving.

What! What's wrong, money?

How many guns did you tell

shotgun you had total?

Same as I told you!

You lie to me again, I'll

blow your f***ing head off!

How many?

Two. Two thousand aks.

Shotgun, right before i met you,

shotgun said that if I said anything

about the extra guns, he'd green-light

me, money. You gotta believe me.

Where are they?

Shotgun's dead, isn't he?

Answer the f***ing question.

Second storage unit, number 246.

Does chopper or the others know?

No. Shotgun and

i went out alone.

This is what you're gonna do.

You're gonna forget

they're there...

And you're gonna f***ing vanish.

Re-enlist, I don't

care what you do.

But if I ever hear

your name again...

There won't be

anywhere you can hide.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand?

Yes. Yes.

Jump.

But...

open the door and jump.

Where's Howie?

Dropped him off strapped quarter

mile back. Watch our six.

Keep your eyes open.

That's them.

Looking for shotgun?

I know it was only business.

Just pick a better

shooter next time.

Orale.

You should'a seen me crack

the whip on those fools.

What you don't know is you

made a deal with a rat.

He was gonna throw you

under the bus with me.

Has that been taken care of?

And the youngster who

stashed the extra guns.

Don't worry, I know

where they're hidden.

I figure, we make everyone

happy with this deal...

Then you and I split the rest.

I'm down with that.

Orale.

Tienes todas las armas?

Simn.

Aj, carga los cohetes.

Chopper, move the truck around.

You got the money?

Un milln cinco.

All right.

Get down! Get down!

Shoot, shoot, shoot!

F***, homie!

The flaca's dog!

Hands on your back!

Don't move!

Drop the weapon!

He's got a gun!

Look away look away!!

Hands behind your back.

We're officially validating you.

Means you'll do the rest of

your new life term here in the

shu-unless you wanna play ball.

- Got nothing to play.

- Come on, harlon.

Don't let your pride

get in the way.

You don't owe these people save the speech.

We're done here.

What happens when we put

you in death row with

all the low-lifes for

murdering shotgun?

Cause when it happens,

and it will...

Whatever offer me and my guys are

willing to make goes up in smoke.

That all you got?

Bluffs?

I already pleaded

guilty to the guns.

Let me do my time like a man.

You see, that's

what I don't get.

I've been around long enough

to know when a con's making

moves simply to survive or

when it's that rare breed...

The one that relishes

in the power.

But that's not you.

Not by a long shot.

Why you throwing

your whole life away?

Look, I don't know what

they're holding over you...

But I can offer you

something better.

Something real.

No bluffs, no bs.

You give me the beast...

And everyone involved...

And you walk.

I mean it.

No protective custody,

no reduced sentence.

Out.

Back in the free world.

Back with Katherine and Joshua.

Nothing out there is free.

Especially for a rat with

a target on his back.

You know, harlon, when

i walk outta here...

The deal walks with me, man.

Have a nice trip.

All right.

Good luck in here.

Come on, money.

Easy.

Right there.

Now that we're

looking eye to eye...

You're gonna answer something.

Shotgun's body was discovered

around five o'clock which

means there's no way he

could've tipped off the cops

with the location since

Herman didn't send you

the coordinates until an

hour before the meet.

So explain to me how

three different agencies

had time to set up and

take everyone down.

I gave you a gift...

And you spit in my face.

How does it feel to

be the walking dead?

No different than

the last 10 years.

We'll see about that...

When your old lady and

kid are lying in blood

and you get to live with

knowing you're the cause.

Get this lame away from me!

Cuff up, money.

Cuff up, money.

Okay, money.

Okay!

All right, easy!

Easy.

Drop your radio.

Easy.

Easy, money.

Slowly.

What the f***, money?

You knew they'd

put you back here.

That's why you lead

the cops to the bust...

To get to me.

Well played.

Let's get down, wood.

Nobody's touching my family.

We're gonna get a few

things straight here.

I'm already doing life...

So I could give a sh*t

about additional time.

But I'm not sitting on

death row waiting to be put

down like some animal.

So you write it up that

he attacked me with the

blade first. In return, your

arrangement with us stands...

Including the monthly

deposits into your account.

Reason I can guarantee

these terms is...

I'm running the show now.

Say it.

You're running the show.

Pop the battery and

break the sim card.

You gotta be shitting me.

I still don't get this guy.

But I f***ing like him.

Got some mail, money.

Thanks.

Mom told me you've

gotten life without parole now.

I don't think I'll ever

understand why any of this has

happened but I wanted you to

know that I've accepted reality

which is why I will do what

you've asked me in your letter.

I'm moving on with my life, dad.

I will learn from

your mistakes...

And I will always

be mom's protector.

But most importantly...

I want you to know...

That I've forgiven you.

Your son, Josh.
