Lines of Loyalty

[00:00:06]You know what they say.

[00:00:08]Once a criminal, always a criminal.

[00:00:11]So, just [ __ ] confess already.

[00:00:16]It's obviously Javier Santos. He's trafficked drugs before.

[00:00:20]But if we can't get any evidence linking him, then we have nothing.

[00:00:23]Okay, great. That's not legal. Jesus Christ, Lonnie. We're going to be on this case forever. I mean, look at the guy. He probably did it. So, hurry up and throw something on him so we can close this [ __ ] case.

[00:00:33]>> I can't.

[00:00:35]I'm not going to do it that way, Wes.

[00:00:37]Even though my uncle was guilty, he never had a fair trial.

[00:00:41]And I can't do the same to this guy.

[00:00:44]Besides, you told me this one was mine.

[00:00:46]So, if I'm going to take this on, I'm going to do it the right way.

[00:00:49]You're just a shadow, remember?

[00:00:55]God damn it. I'm sick of this [ __ ] That's it. I'm I'm heading back to the office.

[00:01:16]My employee said you wanted to see me.

[00:01:18]Um hi, yeah. Um I just wanted to turn that in in person and meet you and and tell you I can start right away. Thank you. We are short-staffed. I'll give you a call. Thank you.

[00:01:28]Oh.

[00:01:29]It says you've been incarcerated.

[00:01:34]Please, just just give me a shot.

[00:01:36]I I I I really need this job.

[00:01:39]Look, I have a daughter and I'm a good worker.

[00:01:45]I promise you. I I I I I won't let you down.

[00:02:05]>> What if I think Santos is it cuz I'm profiling him for his past?

[00:02:11]>> [crying] >> Did you see your uncle that way?

[00:02:19]Of course not.

[00:02:21]I joined law enforcement so I could help protect and rehabilitate those who need it.

[00:02:25]It was when Uncle Eddie changed that taught me people deserve a second chance.

[00:02:31]Well, then there you go.

[00:02:43]Thanks, Auntie.

[00:02:45]Anytime.

[00:02:50]Sorry, did I say something?

[00:02:52]Hello?

[00:02:54]Come on, man. What are you arresting me for? Please, don't do this. He didn't do anything. Come on, man. I can't even visit my daughter. Yeah, a nice [ __ ] example you're setting for her, too.

[00:03:04]Wes, what's going on?

[00:03:05]Our buddy here was visited by his probation officer. He found this in his bag.

[00:03:09]Doctor, please, that's not his.

[00:03:12]It's not his.

[00:03:17]Please.

[00:03:18]Lorna.

[00:03:19]Here.

[00:03:23]You got him, right?

[00:03:28]Woo!

[00:03:30]Yes!

[00:03:45]Oh.

[00:03:45]I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[00:03:47]Here's your phone.

[00:03:57]>> Lorna.

[00:04:00]You got him, right?

[00:04:08]>> [music] >> Mhm.

[00:04:18]What?

[00:04:20]You planted it, didn't you?

[00:04:22]What?

[00:04:23]It wasn't Javier's. You took it from the evidence locker and you got your probation officer to plant it.

[00:04:29]Even if I did, which I didn't, what difference does it make? We finished the job, case closed.

[00:04:34]You promised. You were just a shadow, remember?

[00:04:38]This is just how it is, okay? When you're in it for as long as I am, you'll see.

[00:04:43]Besides, we won.

[00:04:45]Huh?

[00:04:46]What does it matter how we do it?

[00:04:48]In the end, we also keep a bastard like him from making this world worse.

[00:04:59]Be happy.

[00:05:07]Javier, I'm sorry.

[00:05:12]I should have just trusted my gut, but I was convinced and too hyper-focused, and it wasn't right of me to let West push this lead and take this on.

[00:05:20]I promise I'll make it right. I have a friend who's really good at what he does, and he's agreed to represent you.

[00:05:26]Represent me?

[00:05:27]I can't afford that. You don't have to worry about it.

[00:05:31]He owes me a favor.

[00:05:35]And once you're out, >> [snorts] >> I have a few places that I'll help you out for work.

[00:05:48]I'm sorry.

[00:05:55]Internal Affairs, this is Detective Clark.

[00:06:13]Okay.

[00:06:17]Yeah.
