PRIDE: Ooh, those kouign-amann smell like heaven on earth.
Well, they better.
I was up at 4:00 to bake them this morning.
Mm. (chuckles) Labor of love.
Youre really taking to your work.
Yeah, good job, good people. All thanks to you.
Well, Ive spent a fortune in this place over the years.
Alma hired you to protect my investment.
(laughs)
ALMA: I dont care, you need to leave.
LEO: Not until I talk to him.
ALMA: Hes not here.
LEO: Not until I talk to him.
ALMA: Hes not here.
Where is Mateo?
I told you.
Whats that about?
Alma wont say.
Its not the first time that dudes been around.
You need to leave me alone.
Maybe I should introduce myself.
Or maybe that would just cause trouble.
I got my eyes open. Ill let you know if theres a problem.
If you say so.
I do.
If you say so.
I do.
In the meantime, you owe me $26.50.
Whoa. No family discount?
I treat every customer the same.
Trying to keep this job, remember?
(chuckles)
(phone ringing)
Mm. Morning, Steven.
THOMPSON: Dwayne.
Mm. Morning, Steven.
THOMPSON: Dwayne.
Tell me youre on your way.
Im on my way.
For real?
Because it doesnt sound like youre driving.
20 minutes out.
Our meeting with the team
from the I.G.s office starts in 15.
Well, then chances are
I will be late.
What should I tell them?
Tell them Im bringing them
a couple boxes of the best pastries
in New Orleans.
They better be good.
Trouble with the work wife?
Nothing but, uh, domestic bliss.
(laughs)
Keep the change, Jimmy.
Im late.
(siren wailing)
Well, hey.
Hey. Thanks, Gregorio.
Dont thank me yet.
Its straight from the teachers lounge.
Blech.
That bad?
No, not the coffee,
high school. Bad mojo.
Really? I wouldve pegged you as one of the cool kids.
Yeah, my parents were adjunct college professors.
Meant a new town every few semesters.
I had three high schools, four years.
Always the new girl.
Bad hair and braces.
You wouldnt have one of those
yearbook pictures lying around, would you?
Mm-mm. Burned them all.
(chuckles)
Hey. Hey.
WADE: Sergeant Kate Dunn.
Penetrating stab wounds and a bloody knife
suggests a rather vicious scenario.
Killer left the murder weapon. Amateur move.
Im not sure they had a choice.
The blade is lodged in the T8 vertebrae.
Its difficult and time consuming to remove.
HANNAH: Im guessing the suspect
didnt stick around long enough to be seen.
Yeah, well, hopefully they left behind some DNA.
Sergeant Dunn teach at this school?
JROTC instructor. She was on a training run
this morning with her 12-person unit.
Dozen potential witnesses.
Or suspects.
These programs are designed
to push students to their limits.
Maybe Dunn pushed one of hers too far.
I almost signed up for JROTC,
junior year.
Yeah, you wouldnt have lasted five minutes.
My mom said the same thing with the same tone.
We need to interview every kid in Dunns unit.
Guess were going back to high school.
(school bell ringing)
Nobody heard anything, nobody saw anything,
and not one of these kids said please or thank you.
Oh, my God, Im becoming my parents. Anyway, bottom line is
none of them noticed that Dunn was missing
until they got back to the locker room.
Yeah,
then they went back to class like nothing ever happened.
Teenagers, huh?
Bunch of moody, hormonal sociopaths.
Agreed, but in their defense,
their frontal lobes arent fully developed yet.
(K-pop music playing)
MARI: Hey, is this
(K-pop music playing)
MARI: Hey, is this
the place where Im supposed to be interviewed?
Yeah, an hour ago.
I know Im late.
I just kind of freaked out, you know?
I have a chem test third period.
Think you could write me a note?
Why dont we talk first. Youre...?
Mari Foster.
Im Special Agent Khoury.
This is Special Agent Gregorio.
Why dont you turn that off
and tell us about Sergeant Dunn, huh.
Listen, Im only in JROTC for extracurriculars.
Its not my life or anything.
Duly noted, but Sergeant Dunn
was stabbed 50 feet away from you.
I didnt see anything.
Fair enough.
I didnt see anything.
Fair enough.
Let me ask you something else.
Renjun, Jeno, or Chenle? Whos the best?
None of them. Its Mark, obviously.
What are, what are these names?
Its K-pop. And how do you know them?
Oh, I dont just know them, I hung out with them
when I used to live in Busan.
What the hell is K-pop?
Korean pop music.
Its kind of a big deal, Gregorio. Ill school her later.
About Sergeant Dunn now.
Did she have any issues
with anyone in the unit?
I mean... no?
Is that a question?
I just dont want to, like, profile or anything,
but if I had to say, Mateo was sort of extra.
Mateo Diaz?
Extra how?
Hes got no family.
Moved here from Central America by himself.
They say he killed someone back home and came here to hide out.
Sounds like a rumor to me.
Look, you asked, I told you, and Sergeant Dunn was always
pulling him to the side, so...
Mateo Diaz wasnt in school today.
He hasnt been around all week.
May be a rumor worth looking into.
LASALLE: All right, thanks.
Well keep looking.
Mateo Diaz lives in a boarding house.
Hasnt showed up in a week.
Can you imagine being 17,
living 2,000 miles away from home all alone?
But it makes him and guys like him a prime target
for gang recruitment.
Giving them something to belong to.
Im not sure Mateo fits the gang profile. Check this out.
Honor roll, AP classes, extracurriculars.
Works two jobs. A bike shop in the afternoons,
bakery in the mornings.
Not just any bakery, Desirees.
Yeah, by the Trutone. I love that place.
Come on, Ill drive.
Nope, I got this. You keep digging.
All right, well, just get me, like,
a-a muffin or something, okay? I didnt have breakfast.
And now Special Agent in Charge Pride
and I will present
our comprehensive plan for improving agent productivity
and man-hour efficiency by 11%.
Im confident youll find the analytics
as exciting as we do.
(phone ringing)
Sorry. Oh... I hate to miss a second of this party,
but, um, I do need to take this.
Sorry. That looks good, though. I like that.
Christopher, I owe you one.
Happy to hear it, King,
cause Im gonna call on that favor right now.
What do you got?
A JROTC instructor murdered this morning.
Im trying to track down a student who could be involved.
Works at Desirees.
Mateo Diaz?
You know him?
Eh, just in passing.
You know him?
Eh, just in passing.
He works with Jimmy in the mornings.
Well, thats more than what Jimmy would tell me.
He shut down before I could ask a single question. Alma, too.
Gets a little shy around a badge. Old habits die hard.
I figured helping saving his life
wouldve bought me some goodwill.
King, I know youre busy,
but could you call him? Ask him to cooperate?
I mean, I need to find this kid ASAP.
Ill do you one better.
JIMMY: Mateo hasnt shown up for work
the last few days. Thats all I know.
This normal behavior for him, Alma? No.
Hes a good kid, always prompt.
You think somethings wrong?
LASALLE: All right, so he hasnt
been to school or his boarding house.
Any idea where he could be staying?
No.
Who he could be staying with?
No.
You sure?
No.
You sure?
Look, whatever Mateos into, Alma got nothing to do with it.
So let her get back to work now, huh?
Yeah, of course. Go ahead, Alma.
Thank you.
Not you, Jimmy.
Have a seat.
If I knew anything, Id say so.
Why is Alma so scared?
Who says shes scared?
We got a murdered Marine, Mateo is missing,
and no one is talking.
Were not the enemies here.
Every time Ive heard a cop say that, my lifes gotten worse.
Youve never heard me say that.
Look, I know you care about Mateo and Alma,
but if you think hes in trouble,
trusting us is the best way to help.
Youre not the only ones trying to find him.
The punk you saw with Alma this morning,
hes looking for him, too.
Gang related?
I dont know. Probably.
Thats not Mateos style.
We need to find him, Jimmy.
The way youre acting makes me feel like you know where he is.
PRIDE:
Jimmy says Mateo comes here to clear his head.
PRIDE:
Jimmy says Mateo comes here to clear his head.
LASALLE: Strange place to do that.
PRIDE: Yeah. Christopher, up there.
Thats Mateo.
PRIDE: Mateo Diaz, wed like to ask you some ques...
LASALLE: Hey, Mateo, wait.
Stop!
Its all right, Mateo.
We just want to talk to you, okay?
Were not gonna hurt you.
(tires screech)
NOPD! Nobody move!
Mateo Diaz is a person of interest
in a homicide investigation.
Yeah, let me save you some time. Hes innocent.
LASALLE: Now, how do you know that?
Because I know Mateo.
LASALLE: Now, how do you know that?
Because I know Mateo.
Hes my C.I.
Well, that doesnt mean
hes not involved.
We question him back at NCIS.
I cant let him go anywhere with you.
Just hold on.
Whos Mateo informing on?
The Aztec Kings.
Youre telling me a Central American gang
is operating in New Orleans?
Yeah. Theyre everywhere.
Its true, Christopher.
The National Gang Intelligence Center says
theyre in 12 American cities.
And this young man is doing his part
to track and dismantle them from the inside.
PRIDE: And I appreciate that,
but the fact of the matter is he could have information
about the murder of a JROTC instructor.
Sergeant Dunn is dead?
She is.
You need to tell us everything you know.
Mateo, dont say a word.
Carter, whats your problem, man?
I got to get him off the streets before the Aztec Kings find out
that hes talking to law enforcement.
If keeping this boy safe is a priority,
I assure you NCIS is a much better place to do it right now.
Well sort it out together.
Okay.
But Im coming with you.
Sergeant Dunn was a tough instructor.
Other kids in your unit said you were singled out.
No, it wasnt like that at all.
Then tell me what it was like.
She was the only one who ever listened.
The only one who gave a crap about what was happening to me.
Just take your time.
My family sent me here.
The government granted me asylum...
(sniffles)
...to get away from the Aztec Kings back home.
To escape the violence.
Hardworking, conscientious, honor student.
Im sure your familys proud.
But theres no escaping the Aztec Kings.
They were here, too. They found me.
Forced you to join.
I had to move drugs for them, or they would kill my parents.
You told Sergeant Dunn?
I wanted a future, to be free.
She introduced me to Officer Carter.
Said he could help me get out.
If you became a C.I.
Mm-mm. That was my idea.
You volunteered?
Mm-hmm.
Somebody has to fight back.
So why not me?
You want to maybe take a break from pacing?
Im exhausted just watching you.
(chuckles)
You have no idea how dangerous the Aztec Kings are.
No? They were formed
as a narcotics distribution arm of the Guatemalan Sinaloas
and evolved into the most brutal gang in Central America.
GREGORIO: In the States, they run drugs,
contract murders, extort local communities.
HANNAH: We also know how rare it is
to get current members to flip.
Compromised informants usually turn up in pieces.
Thats if they turn up at all.
Which is exactly why I need to keep Mateos cover
from being blown.
Well, it may be too late for that.
Mateo has been ditching school and work
because the Aztec Kings are looking for him,
not because he killed Sergeant Dunn.
Then who did?
Sergeant Dunn introduced me to Mateo.
If the Aztec Kings found out that he was a C.I.,
they could have gone after her.
We have to get Mateo into protective custody.
No, no, y-you turn him over to the Feds,
theyll deport him back to Guatemala.
Hes just a scared kid.
With an affiliation to a known street gang.
Its a violation of his conditional asylum status.
So this kid is screwed because he tried to do the right thing?
Not if the D.A.
So this kid is screwed because he tried to do the right thing?
Not if the D.A.
gives him a plea deal in exchange for testimony
against the Kings.
Which is where Ill take him now.
Okay, he is safer here in custody with us
until its all sorted out.
Assuming Mateo is no longer a suspect
in Sergeant Dunns murder.
Yeah, hes not.
Then you have no authority to keep him here.
Hes coming with me.
No, hes not.
Gregorio, hes right.
Just get him to the D.A. as quick as you can.
You need anything, you let us know.
You can go out the back.
No one will see you that way. (sighs)
Please keep him safe.
Sergeant Dunn was one of the good ones.
Nail the scum that did this to her.
So, were thinking the Aztec Kings
killed Dunn as punishment for turning Mateo.
They want to send a message to anyone
that wants to betray them.
Both sound theories,
but we need hard evidence to connect the Aztec Kings
to Sergeant Dunns murder.
I know you need to get back to Belle Chasse
and the DoD team; Ill keep you posted.
Thompson can handle the DoD.
Im not going anywhere.
I hope you found some evidence
that leads us back to the Aztec Kings.
You tell me, Christopher.
This attack was premeditated
with the intent to inflict maximum damage.
Both her lungs were punctured, leading to a hemothorax,
ensuring there was no possible way she could scream for help.
Well, that definitely fits the Aztec Kings M.O.,
but its not the direct link we need.
Well, you ask and I deliver.
So, it turns out that the Aztec Kings have
a very specific initiation ceremony.
Each member is given a homemade knife
thats very similar to our murder weapon here.
Whats the star etching on the blade for?
Well, that represents the gang members name.
So, each knife is personalized.
So, if we find the person who owns this particular one...
Then we find Sergeant Dunns killer.
Meet the New Orleans Aztec Kings.
Weve compiled everything we can through social media.
Dont quite look like a typical gang.
They present nice and neat to avoid
being hassled by law enforcement.
They dont communicate typically either.
Every move they make is shared through benign posts.
Coded communication about their criminal activity.
A party theyre throwing might be a drug deal.
Wishing someone a happy birthday might be a hit.
Or so we think.
PRIDE: Who needs burner phones
when you can distribute drugs and orchestrate a murder
over social media?
Sebastians broken some of the code,
over social media?
Sebastians broken some of the code,
but hasnt flagged any chatter about Mateo or Sergeant Dunn.
Well, what about the murder weapon?
Sebastians working through the NGIC gang-member database
to match the knife symbol to a name.
And, as you can see, its gonna take some time.
Okay, h-hang on, hang on.
Go back, go back one.
The guy who was
harassing Alma at the bakery this morning
looking for Mateo.
Leo Reyes. Hes a shot-caller.
We got an address?
Ill get an address from the MAG Unit.
Call from the car.
(Spanish hip-hop music playing)
♪
You two must be lost.
This is private property.
Not looking for trouble, Leo.
Just want to talk.
Im Special Agent Pride.
I know who you are.
Navy cop, right?
I dont see any ships around here, though.
(laughter)
Were gonna need you to come with us, Leo.
No.
Its not a request.
If you were here to arrest me, Id be in cuffs,
and youd have backup.
What do you know about Marine Corps Sergeant Katie Dunn?
Nothing. We finished?
She was stabbed to death with a knife like you
and all your friends have tucked in their belts.
Must be a coincidence.
Thanks for dropping by.
Coincidence, huh?
Like the coincidence of you being
at Desirees this morning looking for Mateo Diaz?
Mateos like family, man.
He hasnt been around. Kind of worried.
Wouldnt you be?
I dont force my family to commit felonies on my behalf.
You got us all wrong, friend.
The Aztec Kings are a social club.
Were all about peace and love, right?
(all murmuring in agreement)
But I promise you,
when we do find Mateo...
well tell him you said hello.
Youre gonna leave that kid alone, you understand?
Otherwise, you and me, were gonna have problems.
I think youre the one with the problem right now.
(gunshots)
Pride, behind the house!
I cant believe those kids shot at a federal agent.
Yeah, if theyd wanted to hit us, they would have.
It was just a distraction so they could get away.
So you didnt catch any?
By the time NOPD got there,
Reyes and his crew were just scattered in the wind.
Wheres Pride?
On his way to the D.A.s office to check on Mateo.
LASALLE: Hes not gonna find him there.
Yeah, Mateos asylum I.D. number
just pinged at an ICE detention center.
Theres got to be some Aztec Kings there.
Yeah, theres also a lot of really good kids
there, too, just caught up in a bad situation.
Wait, Officer Carter was supposed to take him
straight to the D.A.s office.
How did they end up at a detention center?
Im guessing thats a question for Carter.
Hes the one who brought him there.
Son of a bitch lied to us all.
I want to know why.
LASALLE: Yeah, so do I.
But hes not answering his phone,
and he hasnt checked in to his NOPD shift supervisor either.
We got to find them.
First, we need to get Mateo out of detention.
Im already calling Pride.
I cant transfer custody of any detainees without authorization
from the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor.
Well, I cant get that authorization
without a criminal informant agreement from his NOPD handler
who, at the moment, is MIA.
Then my hands are tied. Im sorry.
Mateo Diaz has got a target on his back.
The Aztec Kings will take him out the first chance they get.
Which is why we have him in segregated custody,
per your request.
No other detainees can get to him in here.
Im sorry, I just need to check it out for myself.
(lock buzzes)
Here you go.
Now youll see Mateo is perfectly safe and sound.
Thats not Mateo Diaz.
SEBASTIAN:
Wait, how did they lose a human being?
According to Pride, the administrator claims
it was an accident.
No. No way.
The Aztec Kings mustve had a-a guard working on the inside.
Well, either way, Mateos in general population now.
Its only a matter of time before the gang gets to him.
There are a thousand detainees in that facility.
And when Pride finds him, we need to help him get Mateo out.
Thats gonna be another problem. Just got back from NOPD.
Still no sign of Carter?
Nope. And whatever agreement
Carter and Mateo had doesnt seem to exist.
HANNAH: Well, there must be an official C.I. record.
Its NOPD protocol.
Only thing Carter filed on Mateo was pending felony charges.
Okay, I am not liking this guy.
You and me both.
Carter is credited
with at least two dozen Aztec King arrests because of Mateo.
Why would they keep it hidden?
Its not the arrests hes interested in.
Take a look at the Aztec King cases he made.
SEBASTIAN: These are all felonies that got
kicked down to misdemeanors.
Most of these guys did-did minimal time.
Cause the evidence keeps getting misplaced.
Cash, drugs, guns.
The whole kit and caboodle, all gone.
Tens of thousands worth.
So Carters been busting the Aztec Kings
but then keeping everything valuable for himself?
HANNAH: These arrests are a dog and pony show.
The longer the Kings stay in business,
the richer Carter gets.
Yeah. He never had any intention of shutting them down.
And Mateos about to pay the price.
SEBASTIAN: Wait a minute.
Look at the markings on that knife.
Its the same one that was used to stab Sergeant Dunn.
Yeah, which was stolen out of the evidence locker a week ago.
And the original owner is still in the Parish jail.
Why would Carter kill Sergeant Dunn
and make it look like the Kings did it?
She must have figured out that he was dirty,
threatened to turn him in.
This guys
a disgrace to the badge. Im gonna take him down personally.
Right there with you, Christopher. Lets get a BOLO
out on this guy.
BOLO wont be necessary.
Wade just found Carter.
Jefferson Parish sheriffs found him dumped in the park.
He was stripped naked.
Displayed for everyone to see.
Yes, and the knife wounds
are consistent with the style of blade
that killed Sergeant Dunn.
Except this time, it really was the Aztec Kings.
Gang justice served at its worst.
If Pride doesnt find Mateo soon, hell be next.
(indistinct chatter)
Guard, I need your help.
Im in danger.
Theyre going to kill me.
No.
Where are you going? Please, wait.
Drop it! DARCY: Up against the wall now, guys.
Its okay, Mateo.
I got you.
All right?
All right? Youre safe.
Pride got to Mateo just in time.
Aztec Kings were about to take him out.
Hes in Prides custody now.
Well, where is Pride taking him?
He didnt get specific. Somewhere off the grid.
Smart move considering Carter was dirty and at least one guard
was on the Aztec Kings payroll.
So hes with Mateo all alone?
No. His brothers with him.
Why Jimmy?
Mateo was rattled after the attack.
Pride thought it would give him comfort to see a familiar face.
Well, none of them are safe until we get Leo Reyes
and his crew in cuffs.
Start with the crooked detention center guard.
Milton Gordon. Lasalles bringing him in now.
Hey, maybe he could lead us to Reyes.
We wont give him a choice.
PRIDE: Thompson, Im sorry about yesterday.
Do you have any idea how hard it was explaining
to our very important guests why you never came back?
Im sure you found an artful and diplomatic way to do it.
Did my best assuring them youd be here today
for their presentation.
Uh, yeah. A-About that...
Please tell me youre not still micromanaging this gang case.
What Im doing is protecting a witness
whos trying to stand up against all odds.
Assuming this is the detainee you removed
from an ICE center without authorization?
You heard about that, huh?
All morning long, Pride.
Youre gonna hear about it, too.
He needed to be removed from the situation ASAP.
You have 50 special agents at your disposal to get it done.
Why do you need to be the one
to personally save him?
You want the truth?
Considering Im covering your ass with mine,
I think I deserve it.
Pretty sure hes one of the reasons
I came back from the dead.
(exhales)
Okay. Next time, lie to me.
Deal. If you promise to make things right with the OPLA,
get Mateo in my official custody.
Perfect. Now all I have to do
is find an artful and diplomatic way to get it done.
Thank you, Steven.
Oh, dont thank me yet.
Hush puppies, catfish and boudin.
All essential food groups covered.
Yes, please. I am starving.
Here you go, Mateo.
No, thank you.
Here you go, Mateo.
No, thank you.
I am not hungry.
Have a few bites at least.
You havent eaten since yesterday, son.
Im not your son.
JIMMY: Hey, kid.
Im not your son.
JIMMY: Hey, kid.
Dwaynes on your side here.
No, no, come on. Its okay, Jimmy.
Look, hes been acting more like an adult
than most of the adults around him.
Youre no ones son or kid now.
I get it. But were still gonna help you, though.
That I promise.
Sergeant Dunn said the same thing.
So did Officer Carter.
You see where it got them?
Well, Officer Carter played you.
He played Dunn, too.
But we got your back.
No ones gonna touch you now.
You and who else has got my back?
Well, the two of us, Mateo. For now.
I am not safe in detention.
Im not safe with the NOPD.
But somehow, I am safe with the two of you?
Dwayne happens to be bulletproof.
(clears throat)
Bit of an exaggeration, but, uh...
(chuckles)
Come on.
Where exactly are you taking me?
Oh, someplace real special. (chuckles)
Youre gonna love it.
LASALLE:
Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt,
LASALLE:
Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt,
with a few key exceptions.
Crooked cops are on the top of the list.
Hey. I didnt hear the kid calling for help.
It was an honest mistake.
Just like it was an honest mistake
switching Mateos file with another detainees?
You cant prove I did that.
Dont have to.
Youll never see a judge.
Cause when the Aztec Kings
hear you ratted them out,
theyll take care of you.
(chair scrapes)
Man, I havent said a word.
Try convincing Leo Reyes.
He seems, uh, like the reasonable type.
Look,
if I help you, youre gonna protect me, right?
Depends on what you got to say.
Look, I was just trying to make ends meet.
Keep food on the table.
You live alone in a two-room apartment off the highway.
What ends do you got to meet?
Its just a few extra bucks to look the other way.
Let those scumbags handle their business.
Youre really testing my charity here.
All Im saying is we dont get involved in their violence.
What do you mean "we"?
Ladies, Gordon isnt the only guard
in the Aztecs pocket.
Shift supervisor Roland Webb
followed Pride and Mateo when they left the detention center.
Reyes may already know where they are.
We have to warn Pride.
Hey, phone goes straight to voice mail.
Cant locate him on cell towers, either.
Wherever hes taking Mateo, its got to be in the middle
of nowhere.
Well, how do we find them?
Social media.
If the Aztec Kings are going after Mateo,
thats how theyll spread the word.
I just hope we can crack the code.
Exactly how I remember it.
Looks like the house in the movie
with the chainsaw killer hiding in the basement.
Ah, dont worry, no basements in New Orleans.
What is this place?
Our pops old fishing cabin.
(chuckles)
Cassius never went fishing a day in his life.
If he came out here,
it was to lay low from the cops.
Ah, he went fishing with me, Dwayne.
Bass, catfish, bowfin.
But thats ancient history though, right?
Important thing is, were safe.
Completely isolated out here.
Yeah, maybe too isolated.
Theres no cell signal.
I need to check in with my team.
There used to be a landline here.
Just got to find the phone. Come on.
Hold up.
You guys are brothers?
Half. Half.
I know its here somewhere.
Damn. Wow.
This thing is vintage.
Gift from the old man.
My, um, for my ninth birthday.
Man, I loved that bike.
Thats my bike.
Cassius said it was stolen out of our front yard.
Gave me hell for not locking it up.
You want it back?
MATEO: I could restore it for you.
Make it better than new.
Tell you what, you want to restore that bike?
Its yours.
(scoffs)
(laughs)
Awesome.
(laughs)
Awesome.
Thank you.
Oh, the fireplace.
Aha. (chuckles)
Yes.
(dial tone)
Ah, still works.
Must be our lucky day.
(indistinct chatter outside)
Hey. You hear something?
Get down!
How the helld they find us?
I knew Leo would never let me go.
Listen to me, Jimmy. Take Mateo out the back.
The highways got to be, like, a half mile.
Straight through the woods. What about you?
Im gonna stay here; Ill buy us some time.
No, no, no, no, Im not leaving you behind.
Its not a request, Jimmy.
Sorry, bro. No can do.
You want to take a stand, we take a stand together.
Jimmy, please.
You want to take a stand, we take a stand together.
Jimmy, please.
This isnt about you and me.
This is about saving the life
of a 17-year-old kid.
Plus, Im bulletproof, remember?
All right, come on. Go ahead, Mateo.
Dont stop or look back till you get to the highway.
Dwayne...
Go!
Sebastian, where are you sending us?
Ascension Parish. I think.
HANNAH: Okay, well,
its 300 square miles; can you be a little more specific?
Well, its not exactly easy breaking the Aztec Kings code
when I know that Prides lifes on the line.
GREGORIO: Sebastian, you got this.
We all know it, we just need you to get
much faster than you are.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Here, here we go.
Uh, Highway 44 towards the river.
I can guide you in from there.
(gun clicks)
Leave him! Get inside the cabin!
(Mateo groans)
Come on, Mateo.
You got to run faster.
I thought you were trying to be a Marine.
(groaning)
Oh, I twisted my ankle. (groans)
Oh, it hurts really bad.
Okay, all right. New plan.
Im gonna find you a place to hide. (grunts)
(both grunting)
You stay here. You hide. (groaning)
You stay quiet.
All right? Quiet.
Okay.
(panting)
(wings flapping)
(both grunting)
MATEO: Leo.
You want me dead?
Here I am.
(panting)
What part of "stay hidden and quiet" didnt you understand?
(grunts)
I warned you, Teo.
I told you the penalty for betraying your family.
Youre not my family, Leo.
Not anymore.
Youre not gonna pull the trigger.
(gunshot)
(Leo grunts)
(gunshot)
(Leo grunts)
I didnt think you had the guts.
PRIDE: Wasnt Mateo.
It was me.
Drop the knife.
I will take you out.
HANNAH: Federal agents!
LASALLE: Pride, you all right?
PRIDE: I am now.
GREGORIO: Put your hands on your head. Now!
(grunts)
Move.
(grunts)
Move.
Come here.
(groans)
(handcuffs tighten)
GREGORIO: Get up. Get up!
Get up.
Its over, Mateo.
Youre safe.
(sirens wailing)
Thank you.
Come on.
Thank you.
Come on.
Just got off a conference call
with USCIS and the U.S. Attorneys Office.
Are they going to amend Mateos asylum status?
Even better.
Theyre wiping his record.
And fast-tracking his lawful permanent residents application.
Okay, so he can start fresh.
Find the better life
he came here for.
Thank you.
Just following my SACs orders.
No matter how unusual they were.
(chuckles)
Hey.
Just between us.
Kind of feels good, doesnt it?
Bending rules for the right reasons?
Uh, excuse me, Special Agent Pride,
but I followed exacting procedure
to get Mateos status adjusted.
Hardly a bent rule to be found.
Fair enough.
And our visitors from the DoD?
Oh, youre gonna want to thank me for that, too.
I extended their stay an extra day.
Theyll be presenting to you in the morning.
8:00 a.m.
8:00? Really? Thats...
Sharp.
Ill be there.
(sighs)
(Mateo chuckles)
Aluminum foil will get the rust right off the frame.
I have an old stem I can use.
Tires... maybe some upgraded sprockets
and a customized bottom bracket.
I have no idea what you just said.
(chuckles)
But it all sounded like gravy to me.
Lets get started on this bike tomorrow.
Maybe.
But I dont know where Ill be tomorrow.
New city, new school.
Im becoming a whole new person.
No, no, youre still the same person.
Youre just getting a second chance
to show the world what youre made of.
And trust me, thats the best gift...
thats the best gift there is. (door opens)
Mateo, I want you to meet my very dear friend, Dr. Wade.
Loretta.
MATEO: Hello.
Loretta.
MATEO: Hello.
Nice to meet you, maam. Mm-hmm.
Loretta has two great sons, Danny and CJ.
My boys are originally from Hollygrove.
We became a family a few years back.
Like adopted?
Thats right.
Like adopted?
Thats right.
And I know a few wonderful foster families
who would be eager to meet someone like you.
Really? Mm-hmm.
Ah, lets go have a chat in the kitchen,
help me cut up these vegetables.
(sighs) You did good today, Dwayne.
We did good.
That we did. (chuckles)
Though next time,
you might want to arrive
a couple of minutes before I get my ass kicked.
(chuckles)
Well, I certainly will consider it.
Im just saying. (chuckles) Yeah.
