[JANELLE] You're an inmate.
Do you have any idea
what would happen to me
if someone found out?
[MAN] What happened to Osito?
I don't trust him.
Fuck Leslie Babcock.
You said she was a fuckin' bitch.
I lied. I'd die for her.
[MICHAEL] You deserve a drink.
It takes an hour and a half
to New York City
and your important package
is safely delivered.
[CHARMAINE] 'Sup, Lance?
[PERSON] So how was your trip
to the Big Apple?
[LESLIE] No drugs inside the house.
No sign of Charmaine.
Girl's in the wind.
Jorge Cuevas, is he
on paper with the DEA?
[OFFICER] No. He's not a snitch.
At least not with us.
We believe one guy in New York
is responsible
for half the carfentanyl
on the East Coast.
[RAY] Jorge, he's a snitch.
The DEA says he's working for them.
They're gonna be coming after you too.
- What?
- [GUNSHOT FIRES]
[JACKIE] She left her cat
and her birth control.
No one goes away
without those two things.
I think Daisy's dead.

Whoa, slow down. Slow down.
Okay, you got a hunch.
You need to confirm it before

You can't go to Alan with just a dream.

you just wanna hit a meeting

What happened yesterday

I just wanna forget about it

If I'm focused on a case,
then I can't party.
Got it?
Yeah, I get it.
All right. Thanks.
I'll see you later, all right?
Thanks for letting me crash.

What's the catch?
I want my job back.

there's only so many strings
that I can pull.

a few phone calls

you really get to stick it
to those arrogant pricks
over at the DEA.
