- Not really known for the punctuality.
- I mean, are we sure about this tip? - My DEA buddy said that Harcourt's been running pot out of this place, he's been here the last three saturdays.
We got a car coming up the alley.
It's a silver Saturn Texas plates.
It's X-4-S T-T-3.
It's registered to Harcourt's father.
- It's Harcourt behind the wheel.
- Yup.
Looks like he's got a friend with him.
We go in? Subdue the front take Harcourt down.
US Marshals US Marshals, down on the ground! - We got a runner out the back! - I got him! - *** - Backyard! What are you running for? You really don't want to do that Harcourt.
Now doesn't that hurt? - Should we get him down? - Yeah, at some point.
Get in the car Harcourt watch your head.
Marco what you got? Name is Jackie Walsh, favourite color is blue, likes pizza, dancing, and long walks on the beach, ain't that right Jack? Any idea why he ran? Luke is running his ID.
We're just sitting tight.
Hey man you gotta believe me man, I wasn't the shooter.
- What did you say Jackie? - I wasn't the shooter.
- Come here.
- You ready for this? Jackie Walsh, we got an open warrant for him as well.
He's on of the four guys wanted for killing that cop a month ago.
- The Ellen Lacey murder? - Yeah.
So not only do we clear our assault and battery we get a good lead on four copkillers.
It's not even lunch.
Look man, I didn't kill that cop.
John Makin.
Steven "Little Boy" Washington, and Francis Washington.
Where are they? You know what, it's not that cop.
Her name is Ellen Lacey.
She's 32 years old.
She's a wife mother.
Nothin' bad was supposed to happen.
We was just headin' out to collect for some idiot crackhead.
And after we *** you know we goin' out right? Just like we used to do back in the old days.
Show some Houston ladies how the New Orleans boys play.
Why so quiet little boy? You miss your prison boyfriends? What the hell did you do Francis? - Nothing.

Calm down Makin.
Don't tell me to calm down, I'm facing 6 months.
You don't got no weapons on you right? It's cool, everything's gonna be good.
License and proof of insurance please.
Was I speeding officer? You tell me, were you? I don't think so.
It's cause you weren't, but your tail lights are both out.
Can I get an ID on everyone please? - Makin! - Stop! Get down on the ground! Stop! - What the hell you doing there boy? - One of us runs, we all get hauled in.

- Everybody get in the damned car.
Makin, get back here.
You you gotta believe me man, I ain't never done nothin' worse than petty theft I'll tell y'all what ever y'all wanna know.
Alright.
After the shooting I got dropped off at my sister's house.
Makin went to the hotel to lay low, and Francis and "Little Boy" I ain't seen them since.
Do you have any communication with them? Yeah, I mean we got cells, but we only turn them on everyday at like two o'clock.
You know, just for emergencies only.
It's "Little Boy's" idea.
He said we could talk, but we can't be traced.
Y'all gonna tell the Judge how I helped out though yeah? Oh, yeah.
But you're not done helping us yet.
Gonna need their trigger van.
Two minutes to the call.
Two minutes! Hey.

Just so you know I'm pretty good at dream analysis.

All I'm saying is, if you need someone to give you an opinion about what's eating you - You're my guy? Ok.

You know, actually there is a dream you can help me with.
So I'm sitting in this van right, in this dream Van You're there.

I don't want them getting suspicious do you understand me? - Mhmm.
- They'll take your call right? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, man, these guys are like brothers to me we grew up together in New Orleans.
Longer you keep them on, the easier the Judge goes on you.

- Alright keep him talking Jimmy.
What about John? They're somewhere north of the city, close to Coverdale and West Branch.
Alright get on the 610 loop to the I45 north I was just thinking that we should all like meet up.
You know, like face to face.
Give me that.
What you calling here for Jackie? "Little Boy?" - Look like Acres Homes.
- Who are you with? Where were are you at? Who are you with Jackie? - What happened? Did he hang up? - By the sound of it, I think he shot it.
Woah, woah man, calm down.
I go out here to sell a little smack, and you here didn't check it up? How long where you on the phone for man? - I don't know, a few minutes? - Come on France.

Sit down.
Calm down.

What's going on? Who is this? He he killed my wife.
They left Ellen in the road to die.
At least I didn't shoot him, right? You work HPD, like Ellen did, right? When it first happened the entire force is looking for these guys.
But the department's only got so many resources.
You know how it goes.
Now we're on it, too.
I've been keeping track of the search.
Don't know if there's anything there that might help you.
No, we've We've got most of this.
So what what is that number? Guy I hired to help me.
I'm going to add this.
This I'll have to follow up on.
I was wondering when you'd show.
Mm.
I've been busy.
Been meaning to call you.
Can I come in? Not without a warrant.
So you've been working the Ellen Lacy killing.
Always business with you.
Come on, Ben.
The husband hired me on a private contract.
So tell me what I don't know.
Anything not in that file.
Look, Annie.
You know I like you and everything, but that's money out of my pocket.
Ben, they killed a cop.
I want these guys bad, especially the shooter.
Ah, the shooter, Little Boy.
Mm-hmm? He's a nasty piece of work.
Talked to a couple of guys that knew him at the Darrington Correctional Facility.
Yeah, he had a rough time? One way to put it.
His cellmate hung himself, but, word was, Little Boy strung him up.
You know why? I'm not in the "why" business.
I'm in the "where" business.
And Little Boy's gone like Christmas.
Yeah, he is.
I mean, do you know anything about Little Boy's brother Francis? John Macon? No.
I had one lead.
Macon's sister worked at a rug factory down in North Houston.
You think he was staying there? He was, up until two weeks ago.
I almost had him there.
Thanks for the tip.
No, hey.
I mean, really You're telling me that that is the only reason that you came here? You should take off your badge.
Stay awhile.
Don Macon's sister-- This is her workplace.
Houston PD tracked a LoJack.
This blue Hondastolen by a man fitting Macon's description.
We got a security guard who says he's in there alone.
Let's do this.
Oh! Oh, hell.
Turn around so I can see your face.
I'm right here.
Hey.
Good dream? Yeah.
Someone's in a hurry.
Ben whew! This thing between you and I Oh This doesn't sound good.
I shouldn't have stayed last night.
Okay.
What is it? Is it another guy? That why? Thought you weren't in the "why" business.
Coffee? Work.
Hey, Annie.
John Macon's sister here.
She admitted that she let him hide at her work, two days last week.
She says he left and hasn't contacted her since.
So how'd you get the tip? Uh, Ben Crowley.
Oh, yeah? When was the last time you saw him? Weren't you wearing those clothes yesterday? Call Darrington, and have him send me Little Boy's files, and his cellmates'.
Right.
Where's the sister? I'll warn you, she's, uh, colorful.
I already talked to Eyelashes out there, I talked to Stretch.
Now I got to talk to Bitcherella.
No, you don't have to talk to us.
Did you put your house up, as collateral on your brother's bond? You see, Johnny jumped bail so we can actually seize your house, now, you understand? My house?! Because of what my brother did? Yeah.
You need the name of a good moving company, I'm sure we can get you one.
Do I got to stay here? No.
You're free to go.
Come on.
I'm going to tell you something, as soon as I file those papers, you'd better be ready to pack.
You understand that? She'll be calling her brother any minute now.
She's already been on her cell for close to a minute.
John! This is really screwing me over, MACON'S SISTER: With Little Boy, Look, if you want to go down - fine! But don't take my house.
- Okay.
Okay, listen.
- I am handling this, Linda.
- Clearly The cell signal's coming from near Baton Rouge, headed east.
Can we play back the tape? Yeah.
- Do you hear that? - Okay, okay There's a whistle in the background.
Yeah, sounds like a train.
Yeah, but a train with the doors open.
No sound dampening.
Freight train.
You never hopped a rail before? You have to tell me that story sometime.
Stories.
Baton Rouge has a train yard.
It's one mile north of the city.
Let's call them.
Search every freight train coming in.
You got it.
Yo! Where you been Macon? What's the plan, Little Boy? Where are we headed? I got a stash.
Get us out of the country.
Stash, man.
What's the stash? I'm tired of all this this hush-hush.
I'm tired of this train ! Cool out, John.
I told you.
The cops are watching the roads out of Houston.
Why's it always "Cool out, John"? Huh? Little Boy's the one what shot the cop.
Not me! Not you! Why all of us got to suffer, including my sister, for what he had done? "Your sister"? When did you talk to your sister? Is that what you were just doing? She's just family, man, like-like Francis and you.
I got to look out for her.
How many times I got to tell you, man?! No cell phones! I should throw you off next.
Little Boy! Hey, get off him, Macon! Grab him, Francis! What are you looking at me like that? He attacked me! You saw him.
You're bleeding.
You need to get off, then get you to a hospital.
No.
No hospitals! Too easy to get caught, man.
Think about it! You know anyone who could take us in? Engineer saw one of the guys jump off.
By the time he got the train stopped, they were long gone.
We heard there's a car stolen, from the neighborhood where they jumped.
Is that right? Brown '99 Grand Am.
Taken from a supermarket parking lot.
There's blood in the boxcar? See for yourself.
Whoever lost that much blood isn't getting very far without medical help.
Contact nearby hospitals.
Send photos of all three of them.
Anybody who comes in with a major wound, we need to know about it.
Yeah.
I got mugged.
They took my wallet and my phone.
Okay, Let me get some more gauze.
The nurse who called it in, is doing her best to keep her distance.
Not alert Macon that we're coming.
I heard you haven't been sleeping much.
Marco.
Come on, there's nothing wrong with a good old sex dream from time to First of all, it is none of your business.
Oh, yeah? Second of all, they're they're not sex dreams.
No? Third, you you kissed me, so Oh, yeah? How was I? Good? It's time to go.
Let's go.
Hey.
Thought you said a doctor was coming to sew this up.
I'll call again.
I'm losing a lot of bl Drop the gun! Drop the gun! Slide it across the floor! Go on! I'm gonna let this lady go when I get outside.
You could let her go now.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
Two down, two to go.
Macon.
Hey, Macon.
Hey.
Y-You broke my nose.
More like a hairline fracture.
Where are your friends going? One of them stabbed you, right? Here's your chance to get even.
Little Boy stabbed me.
And he wasn't always like that.
He got out of prison all crazy.
Two years in maximum security.
It was rough.
His cellmate hung himself to get out.
I asked you a question.
Where are they going? Little Boy kept talking about some sort of stash he wanted to pick up.
Where is this stash? I don't know.
Honest, I don't know.
Maybe back in New Orleans.
We were headed in that direction.
Everything we had, we just left there.
Little Boy was always talking about going back.
I'll have Marco and Luke check it out.
Clear! Place is empty.
Yep.
It's been five years since the flood.
Thought they would have cleaned this by now.
This place looks like my first apartment.
Smells like it, too.
Marco.
Find the stash? Not exactly.
Hey, Francis Washington's Link Chart, there anything about a kid? A kid? No.
Why? I think he's got a son.
Kid's name's "Kevin.
" LUKE: How do you know? Of the photo.
It's written on the back "Kevin Price, born 2:12 a.
m.
, August 11, 2004.
" Different last name.
Yeah.
Sounds like a baby mama situation.
That would explain why the Bureau of Vital Statistics wouldn't have it.
Hey, Kevin, it's me, your father.
Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Hey, there, Kevin.
This is your uncle.
Hi, uncle.
Hey, kid.
Get out of my yard.
Hey, just give us a minute to explain.
Kevin? Kevin, baby, go play.
I'll call the cops.
Come on.
Ease up.
It's me.
What are you doing here, Francis? It'd be a big help if you'd let us crash a few nights, and I also want to see Kevin.
He's getting big, huh? Looks like me.
Kids grow a lot in two years.
You can stay for a few hours.
No more.
A few hours ain't gonna cut it.
We need food, we need beds.
Little Boy, if she say we can't stay we gonna respect that.
You at least got a first-aid kit? I'll show you.
Why don't you spend a few minutes with your son? He's good with that kid, huh? You know, Allison we're gonna leave 'cause that's what Francis wants.
But if you're thinking about calling the cops, if you're thinking about telling them anything, I'll come back here and I'll kill that kid.
You know, you should try to get some sleep.
We still got an got hour before we get to Jackson.
Fat chance.
Yeah, me, too.
All this wedding planning stuff? It's, it's I saw Natalie; She came in with that wedding binder thing.
Yeah.
You know, she started fighting with me, and then she started talking about the wedding and how I'd sort of, kind of been distant.
Then she asked me, she said, "You know, if I hadn't proposed to you, you know, would you have proposed to me?" And I That's what you were talking about the other day in the office? I didn't have the answer.
I don't know that's what she was hoping for.
I think the wedding's off.
Jimmy, I'm You know what? We should try to get some shut-eye.
There you go.
Allison's house is a few blocks up.
Jackson PD's gonna meet us there.
Wait a minute.
Those our guys right there? Oh, yeah! That's them! Go, go, go! U.
S.
Marshals! Ben? Oh, come on.
Not again.
You didn't have to kill Ben.
You could just marry me.
Jimmy's a free man, huh? So what are you gonna do now? You see the brown van there? It's the car they stole after they jumped off the train.
They're here.
You ready to do this? Yeah, let's hit it.
U.
S.
Marshals! Are you the policemen? Or are you robber men? Where's your dad? Wh-What are you doing in my house?! We're looking for Little Boy and Francis.
Where is he? He left two hours ago.
Took my car.
Please, not in front of Kevin.
Low crawl this guy so he can crawl in behind enemy lines.
I need you to tell me where he went.
I can't say anything.
Why? That guy? That guy? Now, what about these guys? Hey, we can protect you, Allison.
But can you protect my son? His own nephew? Little Boy was always jealous.
Thought it was him or us.
Made Francis choose.
The only way I can help Francis is if he turns himself in.
Francis said he'd call.
Promised to say good night to Kevin.
And you believe that? He said he wanted to start being a father.
And I told him, "You gotta prove it.
" He's gonna call.
All right, you gotta make sure Little Boy isn't listening.
Hello? Hey, it's me.
Sorry I'm late.
Is Kevin still up? No, passed out.
Is Little Boy with you? He's getting some grub.
Why? Francis, this is Annie Frost Don't hang up.
I'm with the U.
S.
Marshals.
I want to help you.
How you gonna do that? Little Boy is gonna go away for a long time, but you don't have to.
You want me to turn on my own brother? You should, considering he threatened to kill your son.
You're lying.
Allison would talk.
He was afraid Look, I raised Little Boy since he was four.
I know him.
He wouldn't do that.
But he's gonna do everything I know you love him, he can to stay out of prison.
He's gonna tell you that he's the only person you can trust, that you need him to stay free your son.
That he didn't threaten I'm hanging up.
Damn it.
TOG just got a trace to a phone booth in Tallahassee.
I sent the local Marshals over there to check it out.
Where you been, man? Said you'd be gone five minutes.
I had to think.
About? Being on the run.
With you.
This is survival, man.
All right? We need each other.
I know.
I also need to see Kevin.
You know.
Trying to be a real dad, so he don't turn out What? Like me? I did the best I could with you.
I was nine when I started looking after you.
France.
You did good.
But you got to be smart about Kevin.
All right, you go back to Jackson, they gonna put you in jail, man.
Yeah, well, then, he'll come visit me in prison.
No.
No, he won't.
They say they will, but they never do.
All right? It's just you and me, man, like it's always been.
I got to ask you something, Little Boy.
I need to know the truth.
Of course.
You'd never lift a finger to hurt my son, would you? Never threaten him? This coming from Allison? Man.
Come on, man.
You know she never liked our relationship.
Just answer.
Never.
All right? Not ever.
Thanks for the pickup.
Mm-hmm.
The Tallahassee marshals just missed him.
So what are these two low-rent thugs doing in Florida? The stash, okay? Darrington e-mailed me the info on Little Boy's cellmate.
His name is Tony Diaz.
The guy's from Cedar Key, Florida.
Big-time drug dealer.
Real estate investor.
And he's an overall scumbag.
Hmm.
Sounds like a rich scumbag.
Yeah, and Little Boy's always talking about the stash.
Well, if Diaz was big league, he would have money hidden for a rainy day.
So maybe the rumor about Little Boy hanging his cellmate is true.
He waits, he gets out Disappears forever.
The promised land.
The view's nice.
Yeah.
Tomorrow as soon as it's light, we'll go look for that money.
For now, how about some cool drinks, huh? Who you calling, Francis? I'm turning myself in.
Not you-- Just me.
So you should get out of here.
Look, I didn't do right by you.
I know that.
Not when Dad died.
Not when you went to prison.
Somebody should have been there for you.
Which is what I want for Kevin, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand.
That's your son.
So we cool? We are.
I'm sorry, Francis.
Cedar Keys PD found Francis' body floating in the harbor.
Stabbed in the side.
Family-- You can't choose it, can't escape it.
I looked up Diaz's property records.
I'm not sure where this stash is, but his house was seized and sold.
So's his vacation home.
Yeah? But not his luxury boat.
Diaz never bought a boat.
I looked into his real estate company.
They own a boat.
Pretty good way to hide a title.
Where's it moored? It was at Pelican Harbor.
Same place they found Francis' body.
But the harbor master it left ten minutes ago headed south down the coast.
Let's call the DEA, Coast Guard, whoever can get us a boat faster.
Hey! Head towards the cove.
Can we get to him before he lands? This is all we got? That's it.
Full throttle.
Either of you got a shot? You can take out the engine? Sure as hell try.
Nice shot.
I impress every once in a while.
I guess you do.
I don't see him.
Where the hell did he go? He's got to be below deck.
Hijo de puta.
Stop shooting or we will return fire.
Come out, hands up.
I can't I can't I can't hear! Come on out.
I want to see your hands.
Let me see your hands.
I can't see! I can't see! Hey, Annie, Hank Lacy's outside.
He wants to shake your hand.
Turn around.
I said turn around.
Dad.
Annie.
What's the matter, sunshine? You afraid? No.
Why haven't you found me yet? Takes time.
Maybe you're not sure you really want to find me.
You recognize this, don't you? That's Mom's ring.
Why didn't you send this to me.
You know why.
Something bad is about to happen.
