All language subtitles for Gangland Undercover S01E02 A Tough Prospect

Before I could become a member
of the Vagos Biker Gang,

I had to prove myself
as a prospect.

I went through months of
hell trying to win my patch.

The official sign
I was one of them.

There were times I wondered
if I was gonna make it.

But if I was gonna
infiltrate the gang and

make amends for my past,

I knew I had
to stick it out.

I am Charles Falco,
and this is my story.

Consequences, huh?

I was never any good at
thinkin' through consequences.

I guess that's how I ended up
becoming a drug dealer and

facing a 20-year jail time.

Hey guys.

Hey Prospect.
Wash my bike.

Yeah, mine too.

I took a deal to go under cover
in the Vagos motorcycle gang,

thinking that'd be
the easiest way out.

I should've known better.

19, 20, 21, 22!

Oh! Who says we're done,
Prospect?

22 more.

As a Vago Prospect, I'm
subjected to constant hazing.

I have to do whatever
a full-patch member

orders me to do.

It's kind of um...
a right of passage.

Six months in...

I'm starting to think jail
wouldn't have been so bad.

Time for a little
target practise.

Guys, come on.

It'll barely
give you a welt.

What's going on here,
boys?

Prospect here is volunteering
for some target practise.

That's awfully
generous of him.

Don't worry Prospect,

Stash here was a sharp
shooter over in Iraq.

At least he would have
been is it wasn't for that

dishonourable discharge.

Stand still Prospect.

Hold still.

This one, is
coming right... down...

the middle.

The thing's out of gas.

You want a beer?

Whoa, wait!

Who says we're done here?

Come on Stash.

I do.

Go get them beers.

Kid sponsored me
in as a prospect,

so I guess he feels pity.

I was just mess in' around.

Get inside dumb ass.

These guys think
I'm going through this

for the honour
of their patch,

and the chance
to be their brother.

They'd kill me in a second
if they knew the truth.

I think you should shut up.

At the end of every night
I'm supposed to check in

with my ATF
handler, Koz.

Hey.

But some nights are
longer than others.

I hooked up with Suzanna
around the same time

I became a prospect.

Obviously, I never told her
what I'm really doing here -

and at this point,

I plan on keepin'
it that way.

Ohhh, come on!

Tell your girlfriend
to screw off.

Oh yeah, like I
have time for that.

I gotta get that.
Come on.

Oh-oh.

I guess she didn't want
to talk to you after all.

Yeah.
I gotta go.

Don't move, alright?
I'll be right back. Okay?

You know
where to find me.

Mm.

Late night calls to run
pointless errands is

all a part of being
a Vago prospect.

Darko and Stash
are hungry.

So they order me
to get them food.

But this, it gets
me into their house

and a glimpse of all
the illegal stuff

they're mixed up in.

I don't know.

It feels light
like it's a toy.

That ain't no toy.
Hi Point 995.

Best value semi
on the market.

Yours for three
ounces of shard.

Darko?
Three ounces?

Hey, hey.
C'mon man.

What took you so long?

The traffic.

We got a deal or what?

Trade for three ounces?

I could buy this for
400 bucks at a Walmart.

400 bucks and
a background check.

Prices run a little higher
on this side of the law.

When you cut three ounces
and sell it by the gram,

that's a lot more
than a little higher.

Who asked your opinion?

This ain't got
no serial number.

It's untraceable.

I'll give you
an ounce for it.

An ounce??

Give me a taste, Stash.

This is the first
time I run into Dawg.

Dawg's a Nazi Low Rider.

Part of a scary white
supremacist prison gang tied

to the Aryan brotherhood.

Schizo...

Like the Vagos,
Nazi Low Riders are mixed up

in the distribution
of methamphetamine.

Boo-yah.
I could move a lot of that.

Yeah?
Like how much?

Half a pound?
Can you handle that?

I'll get you a price.

Get me the ounce,
the gun's yours.

Put the piece away, Stash.

You look like a cop.

Yeah? Well, you look
like a child molester.

What are you starin' at?

You guys
need anything else?

Yeah.
Schizo wants to party.

You're comin'.

I gotta work
in the morning, man.

Well, it ain't morning yet,
is it?

Come on.
Let's go.

Is he over there?

Yeah, you're dismissed.

When the Chapter
president wants to drink,

the whole gang
has to join him.

There's no choice.

Stella bustin'
Schizo's balls again?

It's a Mexican soap opera.

Dude parties hard when
he's in the doghouse.

Yeah.

Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on.

So four hours after I
narrowly avoided getting shot

at the Ratcatcher,
I'm headed back.

I figure at
least it's another

chance to get
noticed by Schizo.

But the later it gets,
the more I realize

it's just another wasted
night where I get nowhere.

It gets even worse when
I see things that

I can't do anything about

without blowing my cover.

Hey.
Are you okay?

What's it to you, prospect?
She's fine.

But just when I think the
night's totally bottomed out,

my chance arrives.

Hey!
It's a private party.

Three idiots full of beer,

who think they're tough enough
to start something in this bar.

I said this is
a private party.

What part of that
don't you understand?

Hey!

As a prospect,

it's my responsibility to
protect the chapter president.

I hit him just hard
enough so he can get up

before the rest of
the gang can come and

rat-pack stomp him
into the hospital.

Quick on the draw there,
prospect.

Go get yourself a beer.

"Quick".

Looks like you
found your road name.

I might have been a
little too quick, man.

I caught him
right in the teeth.

Nothin' you
can't drink off.

I don't remember
much else of that night.

One punch gets me my nickname
- Quick.

Charlie? Charlie!?

It gets me somethin'
else, too.

A staph infection from the guy's
saliva spreads from my hand,

and I almost lose my arm.

I spend a week
in the hospital,

leaving Koz wondering
what the hell's going on.

You can't drop off like that,
Charlie.

I thought you were dead.

Close enough.

Get in the car.

How many guns total?

I didn't get a good look,
okay?

They're stashed under
the floorboards.

Like a half a
dozen handguns maybe.

Plus the one they traded with
this guy, uh, what is it?

Dawg?

Yeah, I guess so.

Look, Koz, I dunno
how much more I can take.

What's the matter?
You tired of push-ups?

Alright.

You want me
to pull you out?

Get out of
this thing right now?

Go do your time?

Come on, Charlie.

You just gotta
be a bit smarter.

Think of it like
a chess game.

If you make
better moves, you win.

What do you know?

I got no moves, okay?
This is nowhere.

Whoa, whoa. Hey.
Where are you goin'?

I gotta show you something.

How long you been
sitting' on this?

I've been waiting to get it
registered in your name.

Blame bureaucracy.

Is there something
wrong with it?

It's a bit
of a yacht.

It's a '92 Harley F.L.H.

What were you hopin' for?
A hard-tail Chopper?

When you wear this,
from a distance,

you might look
as cool as me.

Oh yeah?

You ever consider
becoming a comedian?

Too dangerous.

So who's bike is this?

Strictly speaking,
it's the property of the ATF.

But I still
think of it as mine.

Ah yes.

Okay,
your turn prospect.

Okay, bike's real heavy.
Clutch is real narrow.

You pop it, you stall.

You think you
can ride with that?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.
See what did I tell you?

You pop it, you stall.

Real gentle ease off.

There you go.
Nice and slow, nice and easy.

Yeah! That's right!
There we go!

Oh shit.

Nice and easy.

Break.

Okay, lots to work on.

You practise off road.

Don't ride in your cuts
until we get your

license and registration
sorted out, alright?

You break it,
you bought it.

Oh hey, Charlie?

Next time you have
to hit come one,

aim for the
fleshy part okay?

The first thing I learn, you
go any distance on a Harley,

you feel like you've gone

five rounds with a heavyweight.

And believe me at 771 pounds
with a full tank of gas,

a '92 FLH Electra Glide
is a heavy weight.

It takes me a few weeks,
but before I know it,

I got my license and
I'm riding in my cuts.

Now all I have to do is
impress the right people.

Is that Falco?

I thought you
said you were broke?

What?

I thought
you said you were broke?

Oh, you know, instalment plan,
little buddy.

One last thing I learned?

The cops'll take any excuse to
pull over an Outlaw biker.

In this case, a broken
taillight gets me a ticket

and a warning to get it fixed
within the next 24 hours.

It also gives me an excuse
to get in deeper with

the oldest Vago
in the chapter...

A guy who knows more
about motorcycles than

William S Harley and
Arthur Davidson combined.

Lizard.

Prospect.
What's up?

I just need help
with a re...repair.

Is that cool?

Bring it in.

Alright.

For some reason Lizard
likes to work stark naked.

Not that anyone
would dare suggest that

there's anything
unusual in this.

'92 F.L.H.

Sounds like it ain't
been run for a while.

Where'd you get it?

I know some guy
in San Bernardino.

He musta had it in his gar-age
for a couple of years.

You can tell that?

Let's get high.

Oh no, man.
I got stuff to do.

Okay. Just a toke.

You know what, just
havin' a bike ain't gonna

get you no patch and you
ain't gonna find it chasin'

around out there either.

It's what you
got going on in here.

You dig?

Sure.

When I go back to Lizard's
I'm hoping for a bike

that runs smooth,
has a new taillight.

Hey.

What'd I get?

Something
else altogether...

Hey. Hey, Lizard.
Where's my bike?

It's gone.

What d'you mean?

Thought you'd
like this one better.

You fixed the taillight.

Oh, yes,
I fixed the taillight.

Then I started lookin'
at all her dirty parts.

Your cam shaft had
too much end play,

so I gave you
a new cam, heads,

replaced the gaskets
in your manifold and

carburetor, and then I upgraded
you to a six speed tranny.

Then things kinda
snowballed a little bit.

So I decided to
ditch the fender and

the fairing the previous
owner staked his cool on.

And then I ditched the
rear shocks so that

the proud new owner could
ride hard tail like a man.

Wow.

That's a biker's bike
you got there, Prospect.

Thanks, man.

You're welcome.

Where'd you say you
get this thing again?

Some guy in
the classifieds.

Maybe you should take it
for a ride-by so you can

rub his nose in it.

Yeah, maybe I will.

Look at, this is
kind of freaking me out.

How much is
this gonna cost me?

More than you can afford,
I'm guessin'.

Let's just
say you owe me.

Okay.
You let me know.

Don't worry, I will.

Boys!
Let's ride.

Let's ride.

The first thing I notice is
how much better the ride is

after Lizard's work.

It still vibrates like a beast,
but it's a part of my body now.

Hey Lizard!

The second thing I
realize is Kid and Lizard,

they grew up
on two wheels.

It's like if this were
the last minute on earth,

this way
they'll die happy.

Me? I'm terrified -

but I gotta keep up if
I'm going to be one of them.

All of a sudden it hits me.
I get it.

Some small part of me,
it really wants this.

This is the whole point.

Riding by the
seat of your pants.

Taking it to
the absolute limit.

And facing your fears and
just riding on past them.

Well?
How's she rollin' now?

Uno. Dos. Tres. Amigos.
UP.

What is this?

B.C. Bud.

The first time I smoked it,
I picked a fight with a cactus.

How come we don't see
no hash no more, huh?

Yeah.

There used to
be all sorts of 'em.

Mm hm.

Moroccan black,
Lebanese blond...

Do you remember that black Thai
stuff I got up in Hesperia?

No.

Neither do I.

The way I see it, if it ain't
organic, it ain't good for you.

I mean, everything you get
nowadays comes from a damn lab.

You know Prospect here used
to be a meth cook, right?

Now why'd you
cook that stuff for?

Well, I made about
100 K a month.

Oh.

Yeah, big-time Charlie.

Why'd you stop?

I thought I told you.

I got hooked
on my own product.

I just
ended up dead broke.

You know, now
I just stick to weed.

Wow.

So how long
you been a Vago?

Patched in soon as
I got home from 'Nam.

40 years next month.

Whoa.

And still no gold watch.

Ah, but it beats the hell out of
havin' a straight life job and

bein' taxed up the wazoo
to pay for the war machine.

And, that big movie
The United States of America.

Biggest damn
lie ever produced.

Mm hm.

I remember when being a Vago was
about bikes and brotherhood.

Now it's just
like everything else.

It's all about the money.

Even Schizo acts
like a damn C.E.O.

Ha. He sure as
hell lives like one.

And who gets their hands
dirty lining his pockets?

Mm hm.

I don't see none of us
livin' high off the hog.

I'm doin' okay.

I got my eye on a
piece of land in Mexico.

Got a view
better than this.

You're gonna retire?

The first chance I get.

It's not like
I love dealin' dope.

I just do what I
do to get what I want.

What about you, Prospecto?

What are you chasin'?

I wanna be a Vago.

Amen brother.

Amen little brother.

Too much fun.

Hey.

Listen, Falco,
I got a proposal for you.

I find it hard to find
somebody I can rely on.

I was thinkin' maybe you
and I could try something.

What you got in mind?

He wants me to sell half
a pound of crystal for him.

Oh.

What's this?

It's a digital recorder.

It records eight
hours of audio.

On. Off.
Tamper proof.

There you go.

So what?
This is like wearing a wire?

Not really.

I mean it doesn't
transmit to your backup.

It's just uh, it's just
you recording evidence.

So you want me
to record the deal?

You're gonna
record every deal.

From now on, every time
you're with these guys,

you're gonna record
every conversation.

Wait, wait, wait.

Look if this evidence
gets played in court,

they'll know
that I snitched.

No. No.
We bank it.

Nothing gets used
'til we pull you out.

And when's that?

When we've got enough.

Now listen, we only
have two of these,

so don't lose it, alright.

You fill it up you
bring it back to me and

we swap it out
for the other one.

Where am I
supposed to hide this?

Koz, they
frisk people, okay?

What if they
find this on me?

Yeah, they'd probably shoot you
in the face. So hide it well.

Ha-ha.

Come on, Charlie.

You've done deals bigger
than this in the past.

You'll be fine.

Koz was right.

I'd done lots of deals
with heavy guys.

Enough to know that things
could go seriously wrong.

My ex-partner, Bernard,

was a Bulgarian mobster who used
to move a lot of coke and meth.

One of his suppliers was
a member of the Triads.

And they always
took precautions.

Packing a gun?
That's expected.

You get caught packing
this thing...

I'm dead.

This thing's a
ticking time bomb.

I've gotta hide it somewhere
where they'll never look.

Hey, prospect.

Hey.

This is eight ounces.

Price is 12Gs firm.

Feel the guy out.

If he tries to pull anything,
you walk with the dope.

If it goes good, you let him
know there's a steady supply.

Who's the buyer?

Stash knows the details.

He's comin'?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got this.

Schizo doesn't
want a prospect

doin' a deal this
size on his own.

Alright.
Let's roll, prospect.

Just make sure
nothing goes wrong.

You know how sometimes you
get a weird feeling that

things are gonna go bad?

If I had been smarter
I would have backed out

the moment I realized
that Stash was coming.

Something wrong?

I'll be fine.

Alright, this is it.

Then it gets worse.

This is Dawg's place.

Woah. Dawg's the buyer?

Yeah, you got a
problem with that?

Alright, we're here.

Nazi Low Rider's reputation
for extreme violence has made

the gang a major
problem in the world

of California's
organized crime.

This deal is worth $12,000.

And Low Riders, they've been
known to kill for a lot less.

I wonder if anybody
knows we're coming.

Alright, let's drive
around until he gets back.

No, no, no, we'll wait.

Right here?

What's wrong with you?

Are you worried the neighbours
are gonna bite you?

What the hell is that?

Seriously?

It's an asthma inhaler.

I've never done asthma,
let me try.

Come on.

Stupid.

Just leave it, okay.

My battery's fried.

Just leave it.

Aw man, that song.

We used to play this
when I was ridin' around

in the caiman in Iraq.

Was playing it
when we hit an IED,

blew the whole
damn floor out.

You were really in Iraq?

Yeah.

I mean, on a full tour,
a couple months, yeah.

What happened with the mine?

Blew the driver's
whole leg off.

Bled out pretty fast.

We were screwed man,
an hour without backup.

That's when you find out who
your brothers really are.

Leave it on, Prospect.

Come on man,
my battery's screwed okay?

You really think
you're a king don't ya?

I'm just saying.

You ain't just sayin'.

You act like
you're full patch but

you ain't done
nothing for the club.

You have any idea
what I've done there?

Cops are coming.

Who's this?

That's him, let's go.

Dawg and I had already
had one run in.

So now I'm thinking
maybe it's good that

Stash is here after all.

And that, that makes
me even more nervous.

Let's see the product.

Oh. Eyes here, Dawg.
You're dealing with me.

Yup. Yup.

You wait there,
I'll get the cash.

Just hang
on a sec, okay?

Kid asked me
to count that.

Screw that,
we're outta here.

It's all there, right?

Hey, I trust you, it's just
Kid's orders, I gotta do this.

100, 200, 300, 400, 500,
600, 700, 800, 900...

What are you doin'?

I can't count in my head.
I never could.

1600. 1700. 1800.
1900. 2000.

2100. 2200. 2300.

You try the Hi Point yet?

Oh yeah. I wanted to
talk to you about that.

I was shootin' cans
out in the desert.

Nice gun, huh?

Scope's off.

Yeah, the scope's off.

No way.
Gotta be your aim.

It's not my aim.
It's the gun.

Hey.

Show some respect.
You're in my house.

Yeah, I would if you
hadn't ripped me off.

Pow!

Just like that.

I ripped you off?
Why don't I kill you?

Hey, Dawg, you
don't want to kill him.

Don't I?

Oh, no.

Just punch him in the face,
we'll call it a night.

Your cash is all there.

Now get outta here
before I change my mind.

And next time leave
your buddy at home.

Punch him in the face
and we'll call it a night?

Hey hey hey!
Put the gun away.

Get in.

I hope your stupid
song was worth it.

I don't need this.

That's when this cop
starts asking questions.

So at this point,
the money's where?

Now I'm cornered.

Either I tell the truth
and make an enemy of Stash,

or I revise
the facts a little.

Stash had it
under his seat.

What's going on?

The thing won't start.

My buddy drove me out to look
at a basement apartment.

I didn't like
the apartment.

I can't say I like the
neighbourhood much.

We came back out and
the battery's dead.

Can you try
the ignition for me please?

Sure.

Would you be able
to give us a jump start?

I don't carry cables.

You're lucky
it's a standard.

If you can get it
coasting downhill,

you can pop it into gear
and get it started like that.

No kiddin',
that really works?

Any chance of a push?

Okay?
Pop it now.

Woo!

And you got
the cop to push?

It's the funniest
thing I ever saw.

That took some balls.

Prospect, get me a beer.

Get your own.

You're a real
funny, Falco.

But you didn't tell us how
he got the gash over his eye.

I guess he must have got it when
he was...help pushing the car.

It that your guess?

So other than
that no problems?

No. Dawg got the product
and you got your money.

So we're all good,
right?

Sure.
We're all good.

Except for that
story of yours.

You want a beer?

Yup.

I'm glad you could
make it out tonight.

So Stash screwed up,
left you holdin' the bag?

I gotta take a leak.

Ohh.

Oh, you would not believe
the night I've had.

You like tellin' stories,
huh, Prospect?

Would you rather I
told 'em the truth?

Hey, I got my eye on you.

Yeah, that's why you're
pissin' on your boots.

The guys know
my story's bull.

But except for the part about
Stash, it's totally true.

It's like Koz says,
"This is chess."

I gotta play these guys
against each other

if I'm gonna survive.

Somehow I survived my
run-in with Dawg and

made it through a
grilling from the guys.

Not only that, but I also
collected evidence for Koz.

Okay.

The last thing I wanna
do now is get caught

with my pants down.

Hey.

Hey.

What's going on?

Nothin'.

I just, uh, I just
wanna grab a shower.

Don't.

I like it when
you've got a sweat on...

What's going on
with you and Schizo?

And what do you mean?

I saw him hitting
on you earlier.

I told you before,

him and Stella have a bit
of a thing going on for me.

It's a bit weird over
at their place right now.

Oh yeah?

Uh huh.

You wanna move in here?

Oh you got to
be kidding me.

Yeah, yeah.

I gotta go.

Oh. I gotta go.

Can't they run their
own errands for once?

I dunno.
This one looks serious.

Gimme your cuts.

Why?

Just give him the cuts.

On the floor.

Give us 22, Prospect.

One - one -
one - one - one.

We were thinking we might play
another game of William Tell.

Whadda you think?

Anything you want.

On your feet, Prospect.

What?

Remember that background
check you filled out for us?

It seems there's a few crucial
details you forgot to mention.

Strip off.

Why?

You heard me.

Now where would we be if we
couldn't trust one another,

Prospect?

It's clean.

Are you a cop, Falco?

Just gimme a break, man.

What's this all about?

It's like I said,
we ran that background check.

And it turns out you weren't
exactly straight with us.

Five minutes to sew
those on your cuts!

And just like that...

Welcome to the Vagos.

I'm in.

Full patch.

You and me Charlie.

You think about it.

Oh, I have, man.

Right on, brother!

Right on!

I'd survived six
months as a prospect.

But there's something else.

Something I hadn't expected.

I'm proud I passed their tests.

I'm proud I get
to wear that patch.

I have no idea how
this is gonna play out.

The only thing I can
say for certain -

I'm finally a Vago.
