Previously on The Bridge...

Stop!

Sonya, more are coming!

Get out of here!

I pretend to be the hero.

The lie protects everyone.

Can you identify any of these men?

Him.

H-Hold on a second here.

We're-we're talking about police officers

from Juárez.

You gonna protect her?

Did you arrest Robles? It's not that easy,

Sonya. Why?

Mexico City has Eva's affidavit.

No, they don't.

I think we can help each other.

I can work with that. Good.

We keep a tight circle on this.

Only you and Hank Wade.

You sent me the Euro note?

Maybe.

He said to me the CIA has ordered them

to back off the investigation.

I'm betting that's the guy who knows everything.

CIA.

Romina, my daughter. I love you.

And I wish you'd let me help you.

My father will pay you whatever you want.

He'll pay.

Where's my ledger?!

That's her.

I said stop.

Uh...

One minute, Jefe.

What's the matter? Move a bit to your left.

I don't want them to identify our hideout.

Good point.

Ready?

Action.

I need my gun.

Ah.

Testing, testing. One, two, three.

Ready?

Sebastian,

you forced me to remove my gloves.

And to close my fist...

Cut.

What's wrong? It's not loaded.

Oh.

That's because it's not my gun, it's yours.

It's loaded.

Ready?

Acción.

Sebastian,

the price of betrayal is blood.

Consider your daughter the first down payment.

Goddamn.

Is that the shitty dope that we sell?

No, boss. She's a junkie. She needs more.

No, no.

This will be even worse.

Look at her suffer, Sebastian.

You better tell them to stop looking for me,

'cause if they find me,

I'll blow her brains out, asshole.

Cut.

I thought this was an internal affairs audit.

Yeah, well, two DEA agents

lost their lives in that house, Detective Cross.

That makes it a federal investigation.

Of course.

I didn't get your name.

I'm here in what you might call an advisory mode only.

Oh. What agency?

Central Intelligence.

Why is the CIA involved?

That's classified, Detective.

It's a national security matter.

We'd like some perspective on events that led

to the shooting two days ago.

I've already given a statement to the police commission.

Well, with all due respect,

this falls outside their jurisdiction.

We had a Mexican drug massacre in a gated community.

There will be blowback.

Mucho blowback.

The CIA was interfering with Agent McKenzie.

For the unenlightened, perhaps you could walk us

through this wild speculation.

Hank and I were working with Agent McKenzie

on the Eleanor Nacht case.

Agent McKenzie never filed a report on his investigation.

That's correct.

Do you know why?

He believed that the CIA

was preventing him from getting Fausto Galvan.

He said we were preventing the DEA from doing its job?

Cock-blocking.

That's how he put it.

We read your report.

It's very thorough.

Then what's the point of this?

Detective Cross, this massacre

represents a very serious threat to our border security.

You had a role in it.

As I stated, I was approached by Agent McKenzie.

To run an off-the-books operation?

Answer the question, please.

Yes.

He wanted to apprehend Fausto Galvan,

and I wanted to arrest Eleanor Nacht.

We made a deal.

That didn't exactly go to plan, did it?

I need to interview her.

Miss Nacht's interview is being handled by the DOJ.

Any contact with her would be obstruction

of a federal investigation.

Are you taking the case away from me?

It was never your case, Detective.

Eleanor Nacht killed an innocent kid,

and nobody seems to really care.

Detective Cross,

were there any additional items left at the house

prior to your surrendering it to DEA?

Paperwork and stuff like that.

Everything is on the inventory list.

You're not currently taking

any medications?

What?

There's a, um,

diagnosis in your personnel file.

No.

I'm not taking medications currently,

and I'm not sure

what that has to do with this investigation.

It's just a question.

Thank you for your time, Detective.

Assholes.

How long has this been happening?

A week.

A man and a woman came

and demanded 5,000 pesos a month.

I don't want to give in, but...

I have to think of my own.

Until they get Fausto,

all the rats will be fighting for turf.

I'll send a patrol car.

They're going to want a bribe. With what money?

That's not what I meant. I just want to help.

Let's not pretend, Marco...

there's nothing you can do.

How's Luce?

She gets her stitches out tomorrow.

Oh, yuck.

Guess there's no 21-gun salute for Agent Joe McKenzie, huh?

There she is.

Remind me to get cremated, will you?

Hello.

Our condolences, Mrs. McKenzie.

I'm sorry. How did you know Joe?

Well, we... sort of

worked with him.

You don't look like DEA.

I work for The El Paso Times.

And I... used to.

This is my husband's funeral.

I've already talked to reporters, thank you.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry.

Just, um, could you please tell us

if you recognize

this writing?

Your husband reached out to us.

Did he ever talk to you about his work? No.

Mostly baseball and Dungeons & Dragons.

Dungeons & Dragons?

He never talked to you about anything else?

He had a...

special project in the garage or something.

Maybe we could take a look at that?

They told me not to touch anything.

DEA's picking it up.

We wouldn't take up too much of your time. No, it's...

We are so sorry that we bothered you.

If I could just...

We are very sorry.

It's fine.

Go, go, go, go. Ready?

Go, go, go.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Go.

Go, go, go, go. What is it?

What is that, Joe's special project?

"Yankee."

Here. Can you grab this?

Yeah, yeah, grab that.

You got it? Yeah.

I got the other one. Come on.

Hey. Hey.

How's Hank?

Better.

I'm off the Nacht case.

DEA's taking over.

Of course they are.

CIA's involved, too.

Well, that's not gonna help to find Fausto, you know?

I think I know where he is.

How?

My father had a hideout. Look.

In the old days,

after I left home,

Fausto and him became... closer.

That's when they began working together.

That him? Yep.

He became my dad's favorite son.

How are you gonna get to him?

The Marines, maybe.

Have you asked them already? No, not yet.

There is this, um, state prosecutor.

He might be able to get me in with them.

But... first, I need to come clean.

I need to tell the truth about what happened

in that hotel room.

It would help if you came with me.

Isn't there anything else on TV?

The price of betrayal is blood.

Consider your daughter the first down payment.

What's wrong?

We have a...

A problem at the office, but it's not serious.

It's fine.

You suppressed this allegation of rape to protect Robles?

No. He did it

to protect me. Okay.

I know about your father and Fausto Galvan.

I want to get him.

Do you know where he's hiding?

That's a suicide mission.

I know.

That's why I need the support of the Marines.

You can help me with that, right?

And what are the Americans doing in the wake

of the violence?

We want Fausto, too.

Perhaps.

See, we Mexicans have the virtue of an openly corrupt system.

You know, things are more clear.

You Americans cloak your corruption

behind patriotism, the drug war, the wall.

Señor, señor, perdón.

We-we didn't come here for a lecture.

These are the facts.

Drug money is too important to both of our economies.

I'm here as a cop.

I'm asking your help as a justice official.

Can you arrange a meeting with la Marina?

I will deliver Fausto,

but on my own terms.

Oh.

Yeah, I feel it now.

That cool breeze.

See? I told you.

It comes down from the mountains

every afternoon.

Mmm.

I think you should shave your beard.

My-my beard affords me special powers.

Inscrutability,

disguise, deception.

You don't need that anymore.

I want to see your face.

Yeah. Uh, would you use lather?

Yes.

Yeah. Uh, I could like that.

What?

Arnoldo, Sylvestre...

Let your old man

show you how it's done.

It sickens me what he did to you.

I will hasten him off this planet.

I didn't know he had children.

Ah. Ah.

Okay.

I have to go.

Behave yourselves.

I'll see you later, boys.

Good-bye.

Miserable dog.

You should eat something.

If you'll excuse me.

Leave us, please.

Bon appétit.

If you get near Fausto, he will kill my daughter.

There are forces at play even I can't control, Sebastian--

you know that.

Okay?

I need to buy time. Please.

The administration has made it a priority to get Galvan.

I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to stop that.

We're talking about...

...my daughter's life that's at stake here.

Listen.

I understand how you feel.

The administration appreciates all of your support,

but what you're asking is simply beyond my reach.

This is a beast...

of its own.

Hank.

Hank.

Welcome back.

Mm...

Did we get 'em?

Eleanor.

Feds took over the investigation.

Figured they would.

CIA, too.

They come in pairs.

Hey, hey, hey.

Sonya. Sonya.

I took something out of the house.

I got something.

It's... a ledger.

I hid it right before they grabbed me.

I need for you to go get that now.

Son of a bitch!

Eat this.

Ungrateful, eat crap then.

I work so hard...

for nothing.

Some people just don't appreciate it.

What's wrong with you?

That bitch tried to bite me again.

So you took her food away?

If she wants to starve herself...

that's her problem.

What's that?

You mean the sniper?

No. The music.

Oh.

A quinceañera.

I told them to go about their business.

You want me to quiet them down?

Why wasn't I invited?

Put down your guns.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Mr. Galvan.

That is a very pretty dress.

Thank you.

If it's not an inconvenience,

me and my men would like to celebrate with your family.

Yes, sir.

Can I ask you a personal favor?

Forget who I am.

A little something for your quinceañera.

Thank you.

May I have this dance with your daughter?

Of course.

Go ahead.

It's okay.

Let's go, guys.

Hey.

You're up bright and early.

I need to get a prisoner...

into interrogation.

Eleanor?

Yeah.

They barred you from interviewing her.

Can you do it?

I'd have to falsify the interrogation request...

Yes or no, Coop?

Give me a minute.

I brought you some water.

Thank you.

You're not supposed to be here.

What happened at Red Ridge, Eleanor?

Why are you asking me a question you already know the answer to?

All right.

We know you were transferring property for Fausto Galvan.

I don't work for Fausto.

He sent men to kill me.

You have their bodies.

That's right, you work for Sebastian Ceriso...

I work for myself.

You killed that boy.

He was not a boy. He was a man.

A man who tried to touch me.

So you admit to killing him.

What about the other boy?

You went back to his house.

You let him live.

Yes.

Why?

Did he remind you of someone you lost?

I'm a Mexican national, Detective.

You have no jurisdiction over me.

I would like to go back to my cell now.

Why did you betray Fausto for Sebastian?

Sebastian failed me.

He was careless to let you and Marco Ruiz live.

His daughter's his weakness.

I know Fausto. She will die,

as will your partner, Marco.

Help us bring them down.

Both of them.

No more blood.

There will always be blood.

You can't change that.

I can try.

By arresting me?

We are absolutely irrelevant.

Then why do you do what you do?

Because I want to be free.

You should want that, too.

I have something of yours.

You have my ledger.

I know what's inside.

Then you should be careful.

Why were you following me?

Your mother has a lot of demons. Did you know that?

How long has she lived like that?

In the same town as you?

My mother stood by when my father raped me.

When I asked her for help...

she told me to stop talking.

What did your mother do to you?

She...

She did what she could.

And I'm really sorry what happened to you.

What the hell is this?

You're not supposed to be in here.

Your gun.

Turn around.

Detective Ruiz.

Where is Fausto Galvan?

That's not the deal.

We don't make deals.

In the mountains,

west of Ciudad Madera.

But you can't get him without me.

What do you propose?

I can get to Fausto.

Just like that? Just like that.

I think he'll talk to me.

If you go in with force, he'll slip away again.

We'll go with you.

No, no. No, that's not the way to do it.

I'll decide that.

I have to go alone.

It's the only way.

Fine. But those two... will go with you.

To a certain point, then I go alone.

This is a satellite radio.

When you find him, click this button.

I want to be clear that...

I arrest him,

and I take him alive.

Well. Let's see what happens.

Oh, come on, now.

I don't want to live in the past anymore.

Following after these men.

What do you mean?

You want to go back to El Paso?

I want another life.

Robles has to pay for what he did.

It's too dangerous, and I don't want you to get hurt.

I won't get hurt.

We're on the right side of things.

If we stop now, Eva...

what's gonna happen to the other girls?

What about me?

I just want to feel like I used to.

Don't move.

Ooh. Sorry.

You have changed me, Eva.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay.

Joe must have believed these banks in the Southwest

were laundering money for the cartels.

What the hell is that?

The next Red Ridge?

Oh. Holy shit.

Personnel file-- Alex Buckley, S.I.S. Two.

CIA. Let me see that.

It's the guy from the diner.

Jesus Christ.

One thing even I wouldn't put in a spiked story is the CIA.

Look. Jessica Muj... Mujahidin?

That is Middle East.

What is this dude doing

in El Paso? The Assistant Secretary of Commerce

sent Buckley an e-mail asking

about a CIA bank operation in El Paso.

Look.

It's a war between the DEA and the CIA.

That's what Joe knew was going on.

The DEA wants to interdict, break up the money flow.

Oh, and CIA wants it to keep it going.

Yeah.

But why?

Lucy?

You're late. You were supposed

to be here when they took out the stitches.

I'm sorry.

You-you look really good.

Liar.

Listen, uh...

we have to talk.

Okay.

I'm not comfortable taking you back home.

That's my house.

That's our home.

I think you should move in with your parents.

What?

You'd be safer there.

No, I'm not leaving you.

Lucy...

I can't see you get hurt again.

You want to break up with me, then do it.

This thing that, uh, Daniel and I are working on--

it's just very dangerous.

Then drop it.

I can't.

It's too important.

More important than us?

I'm sorry.

What do you want?

Can I buy you lunch?

Why?

I need to talk to you.

I'm not clean.

I don't want to go.

Two times.

What?

That's two times you've come to see me in the last two weeks.

Why?

Jim Dobbs died.

I came to tell you, but you were high.

So?

I thought you'd want to know.

Why are you still wearing her coat?

It's not going to bring her back.

I'm not trying to bring her back, Mom.

Should throw it away.

Doesn't even fit you.

Just get a new one.

That's what I'd do.

I like wearing it.

Take this.

What's this?

I want you to go someplace for a while.

Why would I do that?

Mom, please just...

just buy a bus ticket.

I don't care what you do with the rest.

I just want you to get out of here for a while.

Hello. Hello.

Is Cuco around?

Who's asking?

Tell him it's... "El Machaca."

You got some balls, asshole.

You're still mad about Dolores?

Have you seen her? She weighs 300 pounds.

I did you a favor.

Same old son of a bitch.

It's good to see you.

Ah. Been a long time.

Augusto, get us a couple of beers.

Your son? Yeah.

Ah.

So what's up? What brings you here?

Have you seen Fausto?

No.

I was thinking of going up to my father's old ranch.

No.

What for?

They say in the news he's hiding in the mountains.

The asshole's in Acapulco.

You never were a good liar, Cuco.

Acapulco, my ass.

Friends of yours?

Yeah, I brought them to see my hometown.

Hey.

Thanks.

Marco.

I got a fridge full of beer.

Some other time.

Don't go, Machaca.

Good to see you.

Oh, man.

Now what?

I know where he is.

Hey.

Eleanor's gone.

Transferred into federal custody.

On whose authority? DEA?

No, that spooky-ass Buckley signed for her.

When?

An hour ago.

What?

Sonya Cross has the ledger.

I know.

What are you going to do about it?

I'll clean up my mess, you clean up your mess.

Of course.

What is our exposure?

Considerable.

I will get the ledger back,

but this needs to be fixed immediately.

You understand that's why you're out?

Yes.

My work is here.

Then you need to be careful.

They'll be looking for you.

I will make things right.

From here I go alone.

We can go farther.

This is as far as you go.

Hey.

Easy. It's just a kid on a bike.

Where are you going?

Hey, hey, hey!

Relax, he's just a kid.

I'm just going home.

What's this, asshole?

You're coming with us.

All right, just handcuff him, and we'll end this.

How many men are up there? Huh, asshole?

Answer him, kid.

How many are there, asshole?

Relax, relax, calm down.

You're going to kill him?

Be careful who you draw on, cop.

Everybody calm down.

Nobody's shooting anyone, okay?

We have our protocol.

What protocol, shi...

Get down!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Easy. Easy.
