If you go to treatment, you're back on.
[BABY] Are you looking for
who killed Maxine McClean?
- Hey, Fitzy.
- [RAY] What do you got for us?
It's Owen.
I heard you got a shit bag now.
Chuleta's testimony that's not ideal.
But there are options that cost money.
There's still Jorge's go bag.
I'm gonna ask you to
do some things for me.
- Hi.
- You must be Rachel.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
I had some money, and it was stolen.
Frankie had something to do with it.
Ray, don't be mad at me.
I need you to check
on Chuleta right now.
Frankie's just gonna walk again.
I got something valuable.
Tell your supplier.
- What's this information?
- It's about Osito.
- [GUNSHOTS]
- Ahh!
[VERONICA] Knight in
shining armor over here.
You did this to me.
I don't wanna be like this anymore.

[SHEILA] Day 29. How do you feel?
Uh, pretty good, actually.
Did you do your fourth step?
Yeah. Yes.
I wrote down my resentments,
the bad ones first, like you said.
Um
Go ahead.
Raphael Quinones, my father,
drank and used.
Uh, I had to drag him
out of the bar on Easter.
He moved out for six
months when I was ten,
made me take care of my mom.
He cheated on my mom.
He hit my mom. To be
fair, she hit him too.
Thank you. That's a lot.
Just to clarify, your mother
is a fully functioning adult, correct?
- Yeah, mm-hmm.
- [SHEILA] Got it.
So what's your part?
- I don't und I don't understand.
- This is where we come up
with a list of character defects
that contributed to the situation.
[LAUGHS]
I don't know. You tell me.
[SHEILA] Okay.
Write down "lack of compassion
for another alcoholic,
judgment, playing God, savior complex."
That last one's kinda bullshit, right?
Caring about people doesn't
mean I have a savior complex.
Why does that term trigger you?
I don't
Wh-what does it mean to save someone?
I don't know. [SCOFFS]
All my life, I've seen men hurt women,
so I guess I made the choice
to not let that happen anymore.
And how did you act on that choice?
Um I tried to save Krista Collins.
Tried to save Junior.
Tried to save Veronica.
[SHEILA] And how did that go?
Two of them are dead.
And I'm the one who hurt Veronica.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS]
[SHEILA] What's happening right now?
What are you feeling?
[JACKIE] I don't know.
I'm it's just like
it's just, every time I try to do
something, I literally make it worse.
It's like I'm the fuckin' problem.
This process isn't about guilt
or taking on everyone else's stuff.
It's about recognizing
patterns of behavior.
That's all.
So what do you get from
trying to save someone?
What do I get?
I get to be the hero.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS]
I get an adrenaline rush.
I get to not look at my own shit.
But, I mean, I'm a cop.
My whole job is to go after bad people.
So how am I not supposed
to do those things?
I don't know yet.
