It's really Chuleta's testimony
that makes your situation untenable.
I'd say 100 grand would get you
just the right amount of creativity.
I'm gonna ask you
to do some things for me.
I nanny for the Johnsons
down the street.
- [RENEE] You must be Rachel.
- [RACHEL] Bye, Mommy.
[POOK] Get the fuck out of here,
sniffin' around Osito's leftovers.
Janelle, right?
This you can sell in here.
- Chuleta, who killed Jorge?
- Renee.
They got phones in rehab now?
I got shut out
of the police database and
[RAY] That's 'cause you're not
currently a police officer.
There's this girl. You seen her?
Are you looking
for who killed Maxine McClean?
[JACKIE GRUNTS]
Swayzee, I'm not going anywhere
till you tell me
what happened to Veronica.
Hey, Ray, are you still out there?
I want to see how fucking hard
you can come.

Fall Brook Pass, is that right?
[JACKIE] Yes.
[DOLAN] Ah, right. Uh, Ms. Quinones,
let's just go through this
one more time.
[JACKIE] Fine. It's Agent Quinones.
[DOLAN] Right. Okay.
So you-you find the door open
and you just enter the victim's house.
Yeah.
Okay, with no calling for backup.
[JACKIE] I mean, I wasn't
expecting a crime scene.
Okay.
So you just entered
the victim's house, uh,
on what, like, a hunch?
Yeah. Basically.
I'm working a missing persons case
which led me here to Petey's house.
So you were just gonna
interview the victim,
Petey D'Angelo, without a badge, no ID.
Hey, Alan. He-he's gonna
explain everything.
Alan. Hey, man.
I'm so sorry to call you out early.
Just wait right here, all right?
Need you to wait right here.
[DOLAN] What the fuck, Saintille?
- What are you doing here?
- [ALAN] Tom Dolan.
[DOLAN] Thought you'd be taking out
some big-time drug dealers.
No, man. You make it to Vegas this year?
- Hell yeah.
- [ALAN LAUGHS]
- We missed you on the panel.
- [ALAN] Yeah.
I know you missed those $5 slots.
- You got me on that one.
- [DOLAN LAUGHS]
Anyway, um, Quinones,
she's, um, good people.
And if you're done with her,
you can cut her loose.
I mean, sure. I'm surprised you put up
with that kind of crazy,
but, uh, she's all yours.
- Whatever you need.
- Appreciate it.
[DOLAN] All right. Take it easy.
[ALAN] Good seeing you.
Mind going for a walk?
Now, you mind telling me
what the fuck is going on?
I'm investigating a missing sex worker
on official business.
[ALAN] On official business, huh?
How come you couldn't call Ray?
[SIGHS]
I failed a urine test,
and I got suspended.
But the test was wrong, man. I'm clean.
Listen. Let me stop you right there.

I met this girl Veronica
while I was on a tear,

I've known since I was 17
that I couldn't drink.
Just never stopped me from drinking.
[ALAN] What the hell you waiting on,
baby Jesus to slap the drink
from your hand?
Maybe.
Used to have this addict,
this old CI of mine,
had this hustle boosting, uh,
tools from Home Depot.
Him and his partner, they'd
sell the tools for cash, get dope.
One time, they're in the car,
and they got a big score, right?
They got a cordless drill set.
Dope is good as theirs.
Then all of a sudden,
for some unknown reason,
he yells out, "Pull over. Let me out."
And you know what?
Never got high again.
So what are you saying, it was God?
[CHUCKLES]
I don't know what the hell it was.
Reality is, you may never get sober.
But hell, the world needs
bad examples too.
Thanks.
All I'm saying is,
you never know
what's gonna do it for you.
So keep your eyes and ears open.
♪
Look, I know I'm a fuckup,
but this guy Swayzee, Veronica's pimp,
he's bad news,
and I know that she's in trouble,
but it's bigger than that.
There's some fucked-up shit
going on in Fall Brook.
Missing women, there's murdered women.
And I think Petey's death is connected.
You got good instincts.
I'll look into your boy Swayzee for you.
But in the meantime,
you take your funky ass home,
take a bath, change your clothes,

[SHANE] Where is this Milkcrate kid now?
I don't know.
I haven't seen him since I beat his ass.
[SHANE] For starting the fire.
Are you sure about that?
I mean, he admitted it.
So you either hired an idiot
to guard your stash,
or you hired a liar.
Which is it?
You think it was Osito?
Fuck!
[SHANE] What's done is done.
Question is, what do you do now?
[OWEN] I'm gonna take it to the streets.
I'm gonna fucking drop him and his whole
goddamn crew one by one, all of them.
You got smacked in the balls.
Now you want to prove
that they're still there.
But we can't have violence
in the street,
even if it was him.
What, so we're just gonna
take it up the ass?
His operation is weak.
He's got too much faith in himself
and not enough in his people.
Without him, they're all useless.
Without him,

Look up Shane Frawley.
[SARAH] What am I looking for?
[RAY] What's the date of his last prior?
Battery, Boston, '99.
Wow, look at you.
So think about that.
If Uncle Shane's been
laying low for the last 20 years,
flying under the radar,
and suddenly he's fully exposed
'cause of his idiot nephew,
how would you feel about that?
I'd be pissed.
Which makes me wonder,
is Shane working with Owen,
or is Owen running his own operation?
There's only one way to find out.
Hey. Where you going?
Just keep at it. You're doing great.

Not unless you count free ice cream.
Hmm.
Let's just get down to business.
There's been a lot of excitement
since you moved down here.
We got the murder of Lil' Sal,
known competitor of your nephew.
Got a fire at a stash house
that your nephew and his
buddies used to hang out at,

a little bit too much noise for you.
But Owen
that's a different story, right?
I admire you making the trip yourself
instead of sending some lackey
with a funny hat down here,
ask me about my nephew,
but I'm afraid I can't help you.
It's just gotta
piss you off, though, right?
I mean, Owen causing all this trouble,
and you've always
handled things so quietly.
You know, it's kids today.
It's like you hand them the reins,

and you along with them.
Trust me, Owen's on a tight leash.
He won't make any trouble for you.
I mean, leash, reins,
who give a shit, right?
Hey, I just wanted to come down here,
