I'M NOT SINGING TO SOME TUBBY-ASS SIXTH GRADER!
WHAT DOES YOUR SHIRT SAY?
IT SAYS [SIGHS] "PIZZA WITH A SMILE."
WELL, THEN, PUT ON A SMILE. [ LAUGHS ]
AND SING!
OR SCREW.
Dean: CARTER!
I'M NOT DOING IT!
I'M NOT TAKING ORDERS FROM A KANGAROO ANYMORE!
I CAN'T DO IT. IT'LL BE OVER SOON.
ACCORDING TO MY C.I., IT'LL BE OVER TONIGHT.

ON A FOOD-DELIVERY TRUCK.
WELL, THAT WOULD SEEM RIGHT,
'CAUSE SMITHBURG SAID WE'RE CLOSING EARLY.
YOU THINK THIS PIZZA DUDE'S REALLY INVOLVED?
WELL, HE'S GOT KEYS TO THE PLACE,
HE SHUTS IT DOWN WHENEVER HE WANTS...
NOT TO MENTION HIS TWO NARCO PRIORS... SO, YEAH, I DO.
IS HE CAPABLE OF MOVING THIS KIND OF WEIGHT?
THAT, I DOUBT. SO HE'S A BAGMAN.
OKAY, BUT FOR WHO? Alex: GOOD QUESTION.
IF MY C.I.'s ON THE MONEY, WE'LL FIND OUT TONIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD WORK TODAY, CHAMP.
GRAB A GRAPE SODA ON THE WAY OUT,
IF YOU WANT, ALL RIGHT?
DOUCHEBAG'S BEING NICE. SOMETHING'S UP.
ALL RIGHT, ONCE YOU'RE CLEAR, COVER THE PERIMETER.
WE SHOULD PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT...
WE HAD SEX.
PROBABLY, BUT NOT NOW.
OH. OKAY.
I'M SORRY. WAS THAT RUDE?
NO. NOT AT ALL.

WHAT HAPPENED?! STAND BY.

AND I GOT NO EYES ON THE SHOOTER.

THAT WAS A HELL OF A SHOT.
YOU ALL RIGHT?

NOW, MEET THE LATE ERIC MOSS.

NO HISTORY OF DEALING.
SO HE WAS A GUN FOR HIRE.
YEAH, BUT WHO'S DOING THE HIRING?
MICHAEL DUPREE.
WHO'S THAT? A MID-LEVEL DEALER.
HE USUALLY DOES HIS BUSINESS IN EAST L.A.
WHY WOULD A NICE MID-LEVEL DRUG DEALER WANT SMITHBURG DEAD?
WELL, WHEN WE SEARCHED HIS APARTMENT,
WE FOUND A KILO TUCKED ABOVE HIS CEILING.
YOU THINK HE'S SKIMMING PRODUCT?
HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?
HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S DUPREE'S BLOW?
WE DON'T.
BUT SMITHBURG WORKED FOR DUPREE AT HIS CLUB.
PLACE CALLED "INDIGLOW."
Dean: AND WE CHECKED HIS PHONE RECORDS.

HE WAS JUST A MIDDLEMAN.
FINE. CARTER WILL BE THE BUYER. YOU'RE THE BROKER.
OH, I GUESS THAT WORKS.

YOU'RE GOOD LUCK, DEAN.
[ SIGHS ] SORRY, I'M DATING SOMEONE.
OOH, ANOTHER WAITER.
OR A... ASPIRING THESPIAN?
OR, WAIT, NO, I'M SORRY.
HIGH-SCHOOL DROPOUT WITH NO FUTURE
WHO PRETENDS TO BE AN ACTOR... PRICK.
OH, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. ONE DATE.
WE'LL GO TO A REAL RESTAURANT, AND...
IF YOU'RE A GOOD GIRL,
I'll EVEN LET YOU ORDER APPETIZERS.
DUDE, LAY OFF. COME ON.
UH, YOU, SIR,
NEED TO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
UH... WHAT THE HELL, GUY?
GUY, YOU DESERVED IT.

WOW.
I'M SORRY. I-I KIND OF HAD TO DO THAT.
I'VE BEEN WAITING ABOUT 10 YEARS FOR SOMEONE TO DO THAT.
THANK YOU.
Maria: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[ MOANS SOFTLY ]
JUST GETTING SOME WATER.
OH, YOU GRAB ME ONE?
MM-HMM.
Jaimie: I'M TELLING YOU, I COULDN'T GET IN THE GALLERY.
WELL, DID YOU TRY EVERY KEY?
[ Sarcastically ] NO. I GAVE UP ON THE FIRST ONE.
HOW DID YOU GET 'EM, ANYWAY?
DINNER, AND STOLE 'EM FROM HER PURSE
WHEN SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM,
AND THEN HAD A C.I. GO MAKE COPIES.
HOW DID YOU REALLY GET 'EM?
[ DOOR OPENS, FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]
WE IN AT THE GALLERY?
NO, I TRIED, BUT GENIUS HERE STOLE THE WRONG KEYS.
NOW WHAT?
WE MOVE FORWARD ANYWAY. NO CHOICE.
LET'S GO.
DAMN.
WHERE THE HELL IS DUPREE?
PROBABLY CHURCH. HE'S SUCH A FAMILY MAN.
OH, YEAH.
HE'S A REAL PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY.
SPEAKING OF THAT PUNK, HOW'S YOUR HEAD?
YOU SURE THERE WAS NOTHING YOU COULD DO TO PREVENT THAT?
HUH? BE HONEST.
[ CHUCKLES ]
OKAY, THERE'S DEAN'S GIRLFRIEND.
WHAT THE HELL'S SHE DOING HERE?
FINN'S HERE?
CAN'T TELL.
THERE'S DUPREE.
THAT'S IT.
PULL OVER, BITCH. THE PARTY'S JUST STARTING.
WHAT THE HELL IS FINN DOIN'?
CALLIN' OFF THE DEAL.
FINN MUST HAVE SEEN MARIA. WE CAN STILL GET DUPREE.
HE'S GOT OVER 10 KILOS IN THE BACK OF THAT TRUNK.
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER, SIREN WAILS ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ HORN BLARES ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ HORNS HONKING ]
HELL NO. [ GRUNTING ]
ARE YOU A COP, BRO?
YEAH, AND YOU UNDER ARREST! YOU?! HUH?!
Dupree: HOW MUCH THEY PAY YOU, BRO?
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!
YOU CAN WORK FOR ME. I GOT YOU, MAN. I GOT...
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOT IN THERE.
COME ON. YOU'RE SMARTER THAN THAT.
AND YOU A COP, TOO, HUH?
SON OF A BITCH. YOU... UNH!
NOW WE'RE EVEN.
[ GROANING ]
SO, THEN, BABE, I START RUNNING, RIGHT?
FULL SPEED, LIKE A FREAKIN' MANIAC,
I'M RUNNIN', AND...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME,
BUT I JUMP ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR,
I LEAP OFF, AND I TACKLE THE GUY.
IT WAS CRAZY!
YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL.
NO, NO, NO, BABE. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.
NOT BEING CAREFUL IS HOW I GOT THE GUY!
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY?
NO. MATTER OF FACT, BABY, LET'S GO OUT, HUH?
LET'S HAVE A DRINK.
I CAN'T WIND DOWN AFTER THAT ADRENALINE RUSH.
BABY, I GOT TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING.
BUT I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME SAFE.
I COULD BRING YOU THREE GOOD DEALERS.
PRETTY GOOD SIZE, TOO.
YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS, YOU NEED TO FLIP UP,
NOT DOWN.
GOT ANY FRIENDS IN MEXICO?
HELL NO.
ENJOY WASCO.
20 YEARS SHOULD GO BY PRETTY FAST.
HUH?
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEE YOUR KIDS GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT?
[ SIGHS ]
RAFAEL GARZA.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH HIM IN TWO DAYS.
THE RAFAEL GARZA?
THAT'S RIGHT.
HIS COUSIN'S NUMBER TWO IN THE TIJUANA CARTEL.
HOW OFTEN YOU MEET HIM?
ONCE A MONTH.
Carter: WE TALKED TO THE D.A.
HE SAID IF YOU GIVE US SOMETHING GOOD,
HE'D RECOMMEND LENIENCY.
SOMETHING REALLY GOOD?
EXTREME LENIENCY.
I ASSUME GARZA'S REALLY GOOD.
CORRECT.
WHAT'S EXTREME LENIENCY?
ONE YEAR... AT AN ARIZONA COUNTRY CLUB.
[ SCOFFS ]
THAT DON'T SOUND EXTREME TO ME.
THIS ISN'T A NEGOTIATION.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
GARZA'S NUTS, MAN.
I TALK, HE'LL WHACK MY WIFE, MY KIDS!
MY DOG! WE'LL PUT 'EM IN WITNESS PROTECTION.
THAT CRAP REALLY WORK?
THEY'LL BE IN THE WIND BEFORE GARZA EVEN KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.
DUDE'S LATE.
HE AIN'T NEVER LATE.
RELAX. STAY COOL.
I'M TRYIN' TO.
[ STATIC ] DUPREE.
YOU HEAR ME?
[ STATIC ]
WHAT'S UP?
[ STATIC ]
TECHNICAL PROBLEM.
[ SLAPS DEVICE ]
YEAH, THAT ALWAYS WORKS.
TELL ME YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA?
WHERE'S GARZA?
OH, NO.
FREEZE! POLICE!
MOVE!
Man: UNH!
[ GRUNTS ]
Carter: THAT'S NOT RAFAEL GARZA.
Ty: NOPE. ONE OF HIS HIT MEN.
WHAT'S HE WEARIN'?
THAT IS... SAINT MALVERDE.
PATRON SAINT OF MEXICAN DRUG DEALERS.
MUST BE HIS DAY OFF.
GARZA MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING DUPREE'S FAMILY.
GOT NERVOUS.
WE SHOULD HAVE WAITED A FEW MORE DAYS.
COVERED OUR BASES BETTER.
WE MADE THE RIGHT MOVE. IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT.
I GOT TOO ANXIOUS.
I COULD PRACTICALLY TASTE THE BUST.
NOW WHAT?
I GOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I'M FLAT, I GET A BEAD ON HIS ANKLE...
BOOM!
WHAT WAS HE CARRYING? HE HAD A NINE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT IT DID TO DUPREE'S FACE.
TRY EXPLAINING THAT TO THE WIFE.
MM.
HOW YOU GUYS DOING?
NOT GREAT.
YOU KNOW, I COME HOME, SHE'S WAKING UP.
LEAVE THE HOUSE.
THAT TAKES ITS TOLL, BROTHER.
I BET.
I LOVE HER, DEAN,
BUT SOMETIMES I WONDER IF SHE'D BE HAPPIER WITHOUT ME.
YEAH, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WOULD YOU BE HAPPIER WITHOUT HER?
HOW'D EVERYTHING GO WITH THE...
Alex: IT WENT FINE.
SAME OLD DRILL.
RIGHT.
SAME OLD DRILL.
I LIED.
I'VE NEVER...
I NEVER SHOT ANYONE BEFORE.
I KNOW.
THIS ISN'T AN EASY SITUATION TO STEP INTO.
I FELT I NEEDED TO... I GET IT.
I GET IT.
YEAH?
WANT TO GO GET A DRINK?
OR THREE? [ CHUCKLES ]
JUST A DRINK?
MM.
YEAH, JUST A DRINK.
YOU TALKED ME INTO IT. [ SLAPS THIGH ]
[ LAUGHS ]
