"Carter: [ sighs ]" "I feel like we've been called down to the principal's office." "We have." "Alex:" "Agent Bryant." "What's up?" "I'm handing the Garza investigation off to D.E.A." "How come?" "They've been chasing him for months." "He's a major player in the Tijuana cartel." "What are you really saying?" "You had your shot and you blew it." "Not my fault our C.I. got killed." "Whose fault is it?" "Actually, it's probably mine." "I pushed Alex to put Dupree's family into Witness Protection." "Garza noticed." "Had him killed." "Either way, you're off the case." "Just so you know, we're close to making a case here." "What do you mean close?" "One of our men is in with Garza." "Dean Bendis." "He's under with one of Garza's top distributors." "Edwin Finn..." "he's our link to Garza." "I'll tell the D.E.A. to take a deep breath until you guys play this out." "Thank you." "But this time, try not to get your informant killed." "I didn't know you were such an effective liar." "That's not very nice." "It was meant as a compliment." "Thanks, I guess." "Of course, it's always better to lie to your boss when you actually have a credible lead." "Too easy." "It's much more fun when you got nothing and your career hangs in the balance." "Dean:" "What's up?" "We're going after Garza." "We need you to get back in with Finn's daughter, Maria." "Why Finn?" "We don't even know if he's met Garza, let alone done business with him." "Finn's a coke dealer who just lost his supplier." "He's either gonna quit the business or find a new source." "I'm betting on the latter." "You think he's gonna reach out to Garza?" "Makes sense to me." "Okay, okay, okay." "Guys, the Maria thing..." "I mean, I thought the case was over." "You know, I wrote her an e-mail yesterday about our relationship." "I... it wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy." "You're kidding." "I find that hard to believe." "Carter, dating the target's daughter is not easy or fun." "Please." "I saw her picture." "There are worse jobs out there than dating a sexy yalie." "What's your point?" "Turn on your bad-boy charm, get her back, and plant a wire in her father's house." "We need to know what this guy's thinking, what his next move is." "I presume he's more likable when he's actually undercover." "Not really." "Dean:" "Hi." "Did you get my flowers?" "Yeah." "They were beautiful." "Too bad I had to throw them in the wastebasket." "I'm sorry, Maria." "Like I said in my messages, I was stupid, and I..." "I freaked out." "Well, I thought you would have had at least enough respect for our relationship to dump me via voicemail." "You know, the truth is, I had one too many." "I called you a few times." "You didn't answer." "So I..." "I was stupid." "I sent that... that e-mail." "Well, thank you for stopping by." "Wait, wait, come on." "Come here." "Look, I..." "I came here the other day and you were with some tall, blond guy, you know." "I thought maybe you were seeing somebody else, so I..." "I left." "You're not that insecure." "What do you want from me?" "You... you went to Yale." "You hang out with all these art-gallery, hipster types, you know?" "I'm some guy who works construction." "Please..." "Let me make it up to you." "You got to let me make it up to you." "I'm gonna cook you dinner tonight." "I can't." "Why?" "Because I'm having dinner with my father tonight at his house." "Oh, and the blond guy?" "That was my friend Thomas." "My very gay friend Thomas." "Goodbye, Dean." "[ Doorbell rings ]" "Can I help you?" "Yeah." "Is Maria around?" "Dad, the pasta's boiling."

"She pretends to be disgusted, but she really loves it." "Well, I'd like a house in Napa more." "Well, who knows?" "Maybe we can have both someday." "Do you have a washroom I could use?" "Yep, down the hall." "Be right back." "[ Footsteps approach ]" "Maria:" "Hey." "What are you doing in here?" "I saw this picture of you in a tutu, and I had to stop." "Pretty cute, huh?" "Yeah." "I thought you said you were a tomboy?" "Still am." "Mm-hmm." "We should get out of here." "My dad's a little weird about people being in the office." "Well, I didn't steal anything." "Don't worry." "I trust you." "[ Beep ]" "[ Beeping ]" "I want to impress my boss." "What's your excuse?" "Ah, no social life." "I know this life coach." "He helps workaholic, dysfunctional men make new friends." "I have plenty of friends." "I just don't like hanging out with them." "Anything on the wire?" "Around 1:00, Finn called someone named Fuentes." "I'm pretty sure it was this guy..." "Pedro Fuentes, a mid-level Garza punk." "Finn's looking to expand." "Seems like it." "Unfortunately, it's not cheap to play in the big leagues." "Finn:" "I can handle whatever Garza's looking to move." "500k a month?" "That's a lot of queso." "I-I can do it." "I-I just need time to put it together." "Hear the hesitation in his voice?" "He doesn't have the money." "But he's got ambition, which is what we need." "What are you saying?" "We partner up with Finn so he can get in business with Garza." "Who's our in?" "Me." "Or should I say Vince Azzo?" "Why are you smiling?" "I'm not smiling." "We'll need to find someone credible to introduce Vince to Finn." "I'll call the team, get them ready." "And the 500k?" "That's where the fed piggy bank comes in." "So, d, come clean." "You still dating the Maria chick or what?" "Dean:" "No, man, we ain't dating." "Well, not yet." "Yeah, but are you having sexual relations with her?" "Come on, t-money." "Look at me." "Who are you talking to?" "She's a mark." "That wasn't the question." "[ cellphone rings ]" "Hold on." "Shh."

"But what?" "Well, he's serving four years in chino for cocaine possession." "Manny:" "Finally, my conjugal visit." "But it's been so long, it's almost like I don't remember..." "Almost."

"Could've been a random carjacking." "Come on." "Look, guys..." "I know the drill, okay?" "Trust me." "If you want to pretend this isn't a legitimate threat, that we shouldn't notify Finn, fine, God bless." "Are you suggesting we pull the plug on the Garza investigation over this?" "No, I'm merely suggesting our legal and ethical obligations here." "We don't want Finn dead, either." "He's the key to getting in with Garza and the cartel." "So why don't you and Ty keep an eye on him till we know for sure that fatty isn't a threat?" "Yeah." "Till we know for sure." "Okay." "You still have Manny in custody?" "Yeah."

"And he cleared your 500k." "Come on." "Really?" "He's fronting the money for Finn?" "I provide the cash." "He sells the dope." "We split the profits."

"I was gonna save it for big events... weddings, birth of a grandchild, but..." "It's from a tiny village called Airigh Nam Beist." "It's Gaelic for "Shelter of the Beast."" "Legend has it that in this town, an evil beast lays in waiting." "This whiskey is the only antidote to protect someone from the terrifying, lurking monster." "[ Siren approaching ]" "Mmm." "It's good." "[ Knock on door ]" "Don't tell Maria you're a cop or about any of this." "Okay?" "Garza and Fuentes are inside." "Doesn't look like they're carrying any product." "Copy that." "Any word from Finn?" "Not yet." "Deal's off." "What?" "Yeah." "Finn just got arrested for tax evasion and wire fraud." "How is that possible?" "I'm not gonna blow up her life." "No." "Not for this." "So you're gonna give Garza a free pass instead?" "I should fire your skinny ass." "You hear me?" "Where you going?" "We came here to take Garza down." "That's what I intend to do." "You do that, and Maria dies." "Jaimie never saw any drugs." "They went in there empty-handed." "Alex:" "Carter, come on." "Think about this." "What the hell are you doing?" "Carter:" "Looking for drugs." "You find any?" "No, but I'm gonna take a run at him anyway." "If he agrees to a price, a quantity, that's enough." "Maybe." "Sometimes maybe's good enough." "Stand down, Carter." "I said, stand..." "Down!" "You're sure about this?" "Positive." "[ Mid-tempo music plays in distance ]" "Well, I'd ask you how that went, but I've been standing out here so damn long," "I think I know the answer." "How much you pay her, anyway?" "Not a penny." "Really?" "Well, at least I get to die in jail a happy man." "Well, you may be around longer than you think." "D.A. agreed to shave a year off your sentence and transfer you to protective housing." "For real?" "Mm-hmm." "You're gonna miss me, ain't you?" "[ Sighs ]" "Carter:" "How'd the boss take the news?" "He's not putting me up for director anytime soon." "Why'd you do it?" "Do what?" "Lie to him in the first place?" "Daddy issues." "I'm serious." "I hate losing more than I like winning, which means I'm motivated more by the fear of rejection than the purity of success, which, sadly, is more self-destructive than it is self-empowering." "That's what my shrink says, anyway." "You hate to lose so much, why'd you blow the case?" "Truth is, I wanted to bust Garza, just like you." "We just didn't have enough evidence." "Nothing to do with Maria?" "Nothing." "What about Dean?" "Disciplinary action?" "I say we move on." "Yeah." "Too bad we decided not to..." "It was a stupid decision." "Excuse me, miss, do you sell any Moody black-and-white pictures?" "Hey." "Hey." "I thought you were out of town." "Yeah, I was, but now I'm back." "Only for a few days." "I'm moving to Boston." "Working on a new housing project with my cousin Ken." "That's great." "I got your text." "Sorry to hear about your father." "Yeah." "I still don't believe it." "But he called the FBI himself, turned himself in, so..." "Well, he ruined his life." "He didn't ruin yours." "You know, you got your friends." "Still got your gallery." "Still got your future." "L.A." "Dean..." "Good luck." "Yeah." "You too."
