Previously onDeputy...

-Control your boy, man. -What?

-JOSEPH: Hey, hey! -Come on!

Hey, get off of him, man!

This guy just started yelling at my boy.

Racial stuff.

I got you something.

BILL: A quinceañera.

Yes, your daughter will become a woman.

Please don't say that.

We don't wanna live with grandma.

We wanna live with you.

I wanna keep my kids.

With the money that the state is going to give me--

These kids aren't a paycheck!

I'm opening an investigation into your office's handling

of the Johnson case.

Or you reconsider your announcement.

I'm the sheriff of Los Angeles County,

and I aim to keep this job.

I have information that can hurt Bill.

I want you to concede the race.

Explain it to me again.

BISHOP: Two dead in two days.

CADE: They're all informants for the department.

Someone is killing our CIs.

[siren wailing, chirping]

[line ringing]

Pick up, damn it!

[inaudible]

Hey. You don't need to go down there.

It's nothing I haven't seen.

I know. But you don't need to see this one.

[flies buzzing]

So it is Levon.

Yeah.

Was it a struggle?

It was an execution.

So his own people did this.

That's how it looks, yeah.

I just met with him last night.

He was leaving town. Gettin' out the game.

I should have known.

Those are the consequences in his world.

That is not on you.

Besides, we have a bigger issue here.

How did they find out?

[siren wailing]

Jacob.

Are you all right?

[groans]

[coughs]

Man, what happened?

You got banged upside the head, brother.

-Lucky it wasn't worse. -Jacob, where's Curtis?

-They took him. -Who took him?

I don't know.

[theme music playing]

[seagulls cawing]

[cell phone ringing]

Hey, handsome. Where have you been?

[sighs] Just dealing with a situation.

So have I. Your daughter's quinceañerais tomorrow.

Oh, I know.

It's only been 15 years in the making.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Bill.

Someone's killing informants.

They got Curtis. He's in the wind.

PAULA: The Mayor?

Oh, God.

If informants are being killed...

There could be a leak. I just don't know yet.

What are you gonna do?

-Whatever I have to. -PAULA: Okay.

Just remember your daughter.

There's not a thing in this world

that'll stop me from being there.

I love you, honey.

I love you, too.

Tell me something.

There's no smoking gun, if that's what you mean.

Well, how many is it now?

Three confirmed dead. One missing.

-And they were all ours? -CADE: Yeah.

I mean, informants get passed around.

BILL: Well, I know that, Cade.

What I'm asking you is what's the thread?

How were they connected?

Who groomed 'em? Who shared 'em?

-We're workin' it, boss. -Two of them were registered.

Levon was not.

That was Luna's.

[sighs] So all those informants had their own crews

-they ran with, right? -Yeah.

That means they have people in County.

They still gotta get the names from somewhere.

I hate to say this but maybe it's one of our own.

You know, a deputy working a jail...

It's the clearest answer we've got right now, boss.

No, we're missing something.

Get me answers.

Please. Make yourself at home.

Nice seeing you too, Jerry.

Is this the kinda treatment

I can expect from the Riley administration?

Well, that's completely up to you.

Are you willing to do what's necessary?

I've been giving this a great deal of consideration.

And I don't think it's time to share my information

on Hollister with you.

Fine. I have Johnson.

-That is more than enough. -No, it's not.

And how do you know?

I've seen more cases successfully prosecuted

than you might have in your entire career.

This one's a loser.

You keep telling yourself that, Jerry.

Good day.

CARTER: It stinks in here.

I can hardly breathe.

-They should bleach this-- -Shut up, Carter!

What's your problem?

Why did you do it?

Come on, that guy had it coming.

No, not that.

The lie.

'Cause I knew you would back me.

-That's what we do. -JOSEPH: Not anymore.

You compromised me in front of the sheriff.

I've never lied to Bill before.

-Never say never. -It wasn't even worth it.

See, that's the thing that I don't understand.

Why would you push me to lie for this?

You got in a fight. So what?

They would have sent you home for, like, a couple of weeks.

They weren't going to fire you!

I don't have the greatest track record.

These things pile up.

[gate buzzes]

Besides, that's not the point.

What is the point?

The point is I would have done that for you.

You shouldn't have to!

MINNICK: Open it up.

Come outta here, boot. We gotta go.

-What's up? -They're killing CIs.

-Who did? -That's why we gotta go.

You know, this suits you.

I don't know the full story, and I really don't care.

I want you to leave him alone, Carter.

Don't bring him down to your level.

He's better than that.

You need to do more.

We've tapped into our life savings

to have you fight and win.

This is unacceptable.

I beg you, please tell me

there's something more that you can do.

Okay.

These kids deserve more than just an appeal.

I'll call you back.

You lost, didn't you?

I don't wanna leave.

TERESA: Oh, honey.

Roberto. [sighs]

We're never gonna stop fighting for you, okay?

-LONDON: Bill. -BILL: I can't.

It's important.

Sheriff, nice of you to fit me in

between press conferences.

-Talk. -KING: You should have conferred with us

about the whistleblower program.

Oh, don't worry, it's free.

I really don't have time for this right now.

I know someone's killing your informants.

It's their own people taking 'em out.

Which means someone's putting their identities in the open.

Who would have that information?

If I were to guess, someone on the inside.

KING: That's what I thought, too.

So I made a formal request for Federal Oversight

until the matter can be handled.

-You what? -The FBI will be stepping in

to lead the investigation.

The hell they will.

Your discretionary funding will also be suspended

until the investigation is completed.

You've obviously lost control of the people you manage.

So this is your answer, sanctions,

while I've got good men and women out there

being hunted down like animals?

These people risked their lives to help this department.

Well, I think I just added a new plank to my campaign.

No more budgetary oversight for you

and your boot lickers.

Go bother Parks and Rec.

Sheriff Hollister!

Jerry.

He's not hard to find.

Come on. Out with it.

Out with what?

I know you're pissed.

So let me have it already.

I'm not letting you have anything.

What, is this some kinda T.O. reverse psychology crap?

MINNICK: No.

You lied to Bill, so...

Just wondering how long you gonna sit with that.

Because your relationship with Bill

isn't the only thing you could lose.

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs]

Hey, baby. What's up?

No, no, no, no, no. Don't tell me that.

Well, we can file for an appeal, right?

Damn it!

-You okay? -No.

How can I help? Can I help?

Afraid not, Bishop. Only one thing I need

and it ain't gonna be pretty.

[soft peppy music playing]

-MAGGIE: ...I know. -[laughter]

Your hand needs to be higher, Mom.

That's as high as it goes.

MAGGIE: Do you like performing in front of people?

PAULA: No, not really.

Ah, I guess that's why I'm a surgeon.

Most of the time I have an audience of one

and they're usually under anesthesia.

I kind of like it but I'm nervous.

Maggie, listen to me closely.

If anything goes wrong,

if your dress rips, if the music stops,

if the place gets set on fire...

Yeah?

Never... stop... dancing.

[Paula laughs]

-[knock on door] -What is it?

BISHOP: Sheriff, there's an issue with Cade

I thought you should be made aware of.

-What sort of issue? -Teresa called,

it sounds like the judge ruled against them

in the custody battle.

Let me take care of Cade.

You work on notifying every CI you can

that they're in danger.

Yes, sir.

[telephone ringing]

Sally's Pawn Shop.

Well, I think we got something like that.

What's your budget?

[Sally laughing]

This isn't a charity...

[glass shatters]

[groans]

♪ I've been dirty♪

♪ I got clean

♪ I've seen things you've never seen... ♪

♪ Yeah, I spend my money how I want ♪

♪ When I see your face I need it gone... ♪

Who called, Teresa or Bishop?

Both, actually.

I haven't touched it yet.

But you walked your ass in here,

sat down, and ordered.

I'd say you're already half in the bag.

I'm thinking I never see those kids again, Bill.

They're gone.

Kids or no kids...

this won't help.

So what's left?

-The choice. -It ain't mine.

Sobriety or nothing.

-Call it. -It's not that easy, Bill.

Yes, it is. Cade.

The kids. The judge. You can't control that.

None of it.

Remember what you do have.

An amazing wife,

a baby on the way.

It's everything that you wanted, brother.

Come on, let's go home.

And in the morning, we'll find out who did this,

we'll save the Mayor, God willing,

and celebrate my daughter's quinceañera.

You gonna be able to do that?

I can do that.

You can do anything.

Except this.

Come on.

JOSEPH: ...those two shots.

[siren wailing]

Thank you.

MINNICK: She went out just like she came in.

Any video from inside?

Yeah, but she hadn't updated the system in years.

Image was low quality and he was wearing a mask.

I'm tired of losin' people.

[line ringing]

-[cell phone ringing] -Go ahead, Minnick.

Pawn Shop Sally's gone.

I'm sorry.

MINNICK: Yeah, we'll have time for all that

when this is all over, Sheriff.

Right now, we need to focus on finding the Mayor.

Do you think he's still alive?

Oh, he's alive until a body drops,

which won't be any time soon

if he has anything to say about it.

What do you mean?

Mayor's the most connected CI we have.

Whoever's got him, they're gonna wanna get

some of that knowledge before they kill him.

That buys us a little time.

[sighs]

MAN: Hey, big dog. We need transit lines.

Who's moving product where and when.

That's none of your business.

[coughs]

[upbeat music playing]

PAULA: Everyone look happy.

The quinceañera!

Suki? Hello? No phone, put it away.

All right, come on. We'll take selfies later.

Smile, Mags.

Big mile.

Lower your chin. Lower your chin.

It's beautiful. And flowers, I love it.

Smile.

Aw. Beautiful.

Oh, and, Suki, relax your smile. You're too tight.

Mom, it feels weird taking our pictures without Dad here.

I know, but he's gonna be at the mass

and you're gonna have beautiful pictures with him

at the quinceañera, which is more important.

All right, thank you, girls. Now I want a picture

of the three generations

of the Reyes women striking a pose.

I wanna show my leg.

Yes.

CARTER: Hey. There's the man.

I didn't get a chance to finish

what I wanted to say to you before.

-Before when? -CARTER: Back in the pen.

When, uh, Principal Hollister sent the two of us to detention.

Got interrupted before I could tell you how grateful I am,

so I wanna make it official.

Let me buy you your ink.

What?

Come on.

You're one of the Lions now.

It's gonna look great on you.

I don't know, man.

A tattoo is, uh, pretty--

Permanent?

Yeah, that's kinda the point.

Same way being brothers in a family is permanent.

Look, man,

you had my back,

and from now on, we're gonna have yours.

I'll have to think about it.

[organ music playing]

Que Dios te de el rocío del cielo

y la requisa de la tierra.

Que las naciones te sigan

y las personas se inclinen ante ti.

Paula. Where's Bill?

Los que te maldicen sean maldecidos.

Y los que te bendijeron

sean bendecidos.

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of life.

-For creating me in your image... -[cell phone buzzing]

...and likeness and for calling me

to be your daughter through baptism.

Since you are my model of faith,

-help me continue learning... -[buzzing continues]

...what I need to be a good woman...

[whispering] Where are you?

BILL: The last place I wanna be right now.

Curtis is still alive, Paula.

I can find him.

Then that's what you have to do.

No matter what, I'll be there for Maggie tonight, I swear.

I know you will. Just be safe.

You tell her I love her, okay?

She knows.

♪

♪

[footsteps approaching]

BILL: I don't have a lot of time to talk.

I came to apologize, sir.

Well, you can drop the apology.

Just tell me the truth.

That guy that Carter beat up didn't say anything racist.

That was a lie.

He beat him up for no good reason.

But you backed him up anyway.

Yes, sir.

-And I don't know why. -Well, I do.

Peer pressure.

I knew you were lying from the minute you opened your mouth.

The problem is that Carter and his group

are not your peers.

They shouldn't be, anyway.

You hurt your arm?

No, sir, I'm fine.

What's gonna happen to Carter?

Well, he'll be suspended and reprimanded.

Then there might be some blowback for your honesty.

Look...

we all get tested in life, Joseph.

I'd say this one's for both of us.

I won't lie to you again.

Not ever.

I know you won't.

RILEY: Got a minute?

Would it matter if I didn't? [scoffs]

You just don't seem to listen, do you?

RILEY: Mm-hmm.

I came in to gloat.

Character flaw of mine.

One of many.

I'm on the edge of my seat.

Well, what I've got might just put you on the floor.

You got somethin' to say, you say it.

Actually, it's Detective Johnson who's been talking.

Names, mostly, uh, deputies,

officers, unregistered CIs.

All part of the rot inside this county.

-Oh, my God. -What?

You have no idea what you've done.

Bill, what?

-We've got a problem. -What's going on?

Do you know what Johnson's been giving her?

I have every right to talk to my client.

-Confidential informants, Jerry. -What?

Oh, come on, were you two born yesterday?

He's given me five so far.

And you know what? I'm gonna get more

after he signs the deal this afternoon.

-You are a reckless, stupid-- -Bill. Bill!

Four of those five informants

are already dead.

What?

Here I was trying to figure out how they were all tied together.

I'd cuff you right now if I wasn't too mad to see straight.

My people didn't leak those names, Bill.

Well, you're about to scour the Earth to find out who did.

-I'm going to Johnson. -The hell you are!

Go back to the eighth floor

and figure out everyone in your office

that has access to those names.

That's what you're gonna do.

-You watch her, Jerry. -You got it.

BILL: And call County.

Tell 'em to have Johnson ready for me

-by the time I arrive. -LONDON: Okay.

You are done.

Get me County.

[gate buzzes]

[footsteps approaching]

I just found out you've been giving the names

of CIs to your attorney.

Why would you do that?

I'm just cooperating with the investigation.

Someone must've ratted.

You decided to out 'em anyway?

They haven't been outed.

My attorney is holding the list in confidence.

Deep in a hidden vault, right?

Something like that.

Then how come your old CIs are turning up dead

all over town?

Hold on a second. Wait a minute.

I had nothing to do with anything like that.

I need the names of everyone on that list.

How do I know this isn't a trick?

Why should I cooperate with you?

'Cause once upon a time you wore a badge.

You can take that badge off,

but what it represents, it sticks to ya.

Like a guilty conscience.

You used to be one of the good guys, Johnson.

I still am, Sheriff.

I know you're lookin' to cut a deal with Riley.

But if dangling that list of CIs is your bargaining chip,

it's gone sideways, man.

I wanna know who put that list out.

They have the Mayor. He means something to me.

Last time I was here,

we talked about when you're in too deep,

right and wrong get all mixed together.

Now you strayed from the right path,

that's for sure.

But the path is where it always was

you just need to find your way back to it.

Now'd be a good time to start.

[sighs]

There's a plant in the DA's office.

One of Riley's campaign managers is the leak.

He's a plant for the Alphas.

Riley's on with us.

The hell do you want?

Give me the name, Bill.

-I'll fix this. -You're too late.

Well, whoever did it, I promise you,

I'm gonna bury them under the jail.

So where do we find the Mayor?

I'll hit you back.

[cell phone ringing]

What's going on?

The Alphas still have that little house out in oil country?

Baldwin Hills, yeah.

I think they got Curtis.

I'm heading there now.

Bishop and I'll meet you there.

[music ends]

-Call the play, boss. -BILL: They're all there.

Hunkered down up in the house.

And SEB is 20 minutes out.

That's too long. We're out of time.

We're gonna go in hot.

Two vehicles.

As soon we offload, you take up a position

and cover us.

We're gonna breach.

Go!

Get down on the ground now!

[shouting]

Oh, yeah, put those over there, please.

[line ringing]

VOICE MAIL: You've reached Bill Hollister. Please leave a message.

Room clear.

Goin' that way!

Suspects out the three side.

A black SUV heading west.

Do not return fire.

They have the hostage. Let's go, Cade.

-Bishop. -BISHOP: Sir.

Call in the airships.

-Tell SEB we're mobile. -Copy.

[car engine starts]

PILOT: We got eyes on the black SUV heading west.

Hollister's on 'em.

♪

They got the engine block. It's done.

I got an idea.

Call it in, Cade.

10-4, Frank 5.

We took rounds on the vehicle.

MAN: What the hell is that?

[gunfire]

[mariachi music playing]

PILOT: The sheriff's safe. Need a medic on site.

[music continues]

[applause]

Ohh!

[mouths] I know.

BILL: I only got time for a quick trim,

so go easy on the oil, will ya?

You're a better lawman than you are a comedian.

I won't argue that.

You doin' all right?

No, sir, I am not.

Well, I'm sorry, Curtis.

-This one's on me. -CURTIS: Like hell.

You think the last sheriff would've saved my ass?

Let me tell you one thing.

You better keep this job,

or the days of free haircuts are gone.

Well, I guess that seals it.

CARTER: Well, look at this fine young deputy.

Dressed to kill.

It's over, Carter. I'm done.

No. No, no, no, no. Nothing is done.

That's what you don't understand about this.

I wanted to help you understand.

Understand what?

That I have to lie to you?

What comes next, Carter?

I got suspended.

Six weeks. No pay.

That's not on me!

There is no you!

There's only us and there's them.

So...

choose carefully.

I already have.

This isn't over.

It is.

You just don't know it yet.

See you in six weeks.

[car engine starts]

[siren wailing]

Undersheriff London.

I was just getting ready to call you.

I wanted to say this to you face-to-face.

No, let me go first.

I think that we worked pretty well together

this afternoon

and I would like to work out a deal

where we collaborate

on a more permanent capacity in the future.

What do you think?

I'm not interested.

You don't even wanna think about it for a minute?

A member of your staff, Nico Collins,

leaked the names of our criminal informants.

The Alphas must've had something over him or someone he knows.

Yes, not the first plant and not gonna be the last.

But he was arrested and removed.

That's irrelevant. Here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna withdraw from the race.

I had nothing to do with the leaking of that information.

Yes, you did.

If not for your politically motivated handling

of the Johnson case,

four people would be alive today.

So here's what you're going to do.

You're gonna withdraw from the race.

You're gonna drop your investigation

into the Sheriff's Department

and you're going to resign as District Attorney

of Los Angeles County.

You have no ev--

You will do this within 48 hours from now.

Or I will arrest you.

PAULA: Oh, he will be here.

[laughs] I promise you he's gonna be here.

Pasame el vino, por favor.

Calm down.

Papi, I am fine.

-Mom. Where is he? -Hi.

Your dad wouldn't miss it for the world.

He's fighting his way over here just for you.

So have fun.

I told you.

I heard you were looking for these.

I've been waiting 15 years for this, Mags.

I wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world.

[mariachi music playing]

You have grown into a beautiful, smart, fierce woman.

In other words, a Hollister.

And the Reyes.

I'm so proud to be your father, Maggie.

I love you.

I love you too, Daddy.

Thank you.

JOSEPH: Crazy day, huh?

You know, it took a lot of courage to stand up to those guys.

I'm proud of you... Joseph.

Joseph?

No boot? No baby face?

You deserve a first name today.

I hope you got a receipt.

For what?

That tat.

Well, I think I'm gonna keep it.

For protection.

Now you really think those other Lions

are gonna protect you?

There are two people in this world

who I know have my back.

Bill... and you.

And this...

This is so I never forget it.

[soft peppy music playing]

[man whistling]

Hell of a party here, Deputy.

Yeah, it is.

You're pretty sharp, Dad.

Well, it's me.

Here. This is the real stuff.

Live it up a little.

Yeah.

Done plenty of living for one day, but what the hell.

Got a good-lookin' family there.

My son's done well for himself.

Wouldn't have thought it.

All those wild years.

Is that a fact?

Billy.

What the hell are you doing here?

Go, be with them.

Hey.

We think these moments are gonna stay put,

but they don't.

Trust me.

I'm proud of you, Billy.

Thanks, Dad.

I've always been proud of you.

Now get the hell outta here.

Are you okay?

I'm not at the bar.

I'm here with you, right now, in this moment.

And with him.

-Him, huh? -Definitely.

[chuckles] We'll see about that.

Just see how much fun Roberto and Camilla are having.

I know.

God, I wish the judge could see

how happy they are with us.

-You know? -No, it's not over.

Not by a long shot.

So...

did you make up your mind?

No.

I think you should go with the loft.

It suits you.

I could ride the subway to work.

Don't lie to yourself.

-Why? -It's not gonna happen.

[gasps]

["Done With That" by Andrea Rocha playing]

Oh, yes.

That is my jam!

-I can see. -I need you.

Hey, Jerry.

Paula didn't tell me she put you on the guest list.

Riley's dropping the investigation.

In fact, she's dropping out of the race

and resigning from the DA's Office.

-I thought you'd like to know. -Smart choice.

Better to disappear than be torn apart by the press.

Well, I guess that leaves just you and me, then.

May the best man win.

Hey, Jerry.

Stay for a drink.

Open bar.

If you insist, Sheriff.

I gotta change.

["Skylight" by Pinegrove playing]

This is perfect.

PAULA: Thank you.

Thank you for bringing my suit.

Well, thanks for bringing yourself.

Ah, that's the least I could do.

I know.

This is the man you married.

And I would do it a million times over.

I love you.

I love you, Bill Hollister.

You know what you are?

What's that?

You're the hero no one saw coming.

Except me.

BILL: I've learned that being sheriff of Los Angeles County

is a lot like being a father.

You worry every day if the decisions you're making

are the right ones.

If your choices will lead to a better future

for the people you're in charge of protecting.

You've gotta have faith.

And trust.

That goes both ways.

I love my daughter,

and I love this county.

Destiny brought us together.

And I'll be damned if I won't fight for both

until the bitter end.
