♪ Hey there, beautiful ♪ - Michael.

At ease.

I've been going over your report on the Johnson case.

It's very impressive work.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome, Michael.

It's not just that, look around the office.

Everybody else has gone home, but not you.

You're still here working hard, like you always do,

doing whatever it takes to get this job done.

I think you're one of the best detectives

that I've ever had.

- Thank you, sir, I appreciate that.

- You're welcome, that brings me to my next point,

which is I have a new assignment for you,

the Zuda Cartel.

Sure, you're familiar with them.

They've been operating around Atlanta for years,

and we're pretty sure they're responsible

for most of the trafficking in the region.

We've never been able to get anybody on the inside,

so I need you to infiltrate the cartel.

- I understand, sir.

I'll get in and I'll shut 'em down.

- This assignment is different.

These people are dangerous,

and they will kill anyone who gets in their way.

- I'll do it.

I'm gonna get in and shut 'em down, sir.

- I know you will.

That's why I'm sending you, 'cause you're my best man.

What I need you to do is go home and pack your bags.

You're going to Atlanta tomorrow.

Here are your orders.

I also need you to know

that you're not gonna be flying this time,

'cause we have to keep a very low profile.

- Thank you, sir, I won't let you down.

- Hey.

Hey, babe, guess what?

You not gon' believe this, I've been given a new assignment.

- What kind of assignment?

- I'm going to Atlanta to take down the Zuda Cartel.

- Oh, Michael, that's dangerous.

Can't you turn it down?

I mean, they owe you a break, especially now.

You can't risk such dangerous assignments.

- No, baby, I can't turn this down.

I will never refuse this.

But don't worry, I'm a trained professional, remember?

- I know.

It's just I'm going to miss you so much,

especially with the baby coming in so soon.

- I know, babe, I'll miss you too.

That's why I promise I'm gonna come see you

as often as I can.

It's gonna be so lonely without you here.

- I know, but I'll do my best to be by your side.

We're gonna get through this together,

and I'm gon' be there when our baby comes.

- I hope so.

I just wish you didn't have to go.

- You know, even when I was a little kid,

this is all I ever wanted to be, babe,

an undercover agent.

I remember I used to hide in the shadows.

I had these little toy handcuffs in my little utility belt.

Now I'm actually taking down the big guys.

This is a dream come true for me, babe.

- I just wish it didn't have to come with such a high price.

- I know.

Look, I understand,

but you know that I love you

and I'll always be here for you no matter what.

I love you too, Michael.

- Put Makayla on the phone.

I wanna talk to her before she goes to bed.

- Mackay, come and talk to your dad.

- Hi, Daddy. - Hey, Princess.

- Me and Mommy, really miss you.

- I got one more job to do

and I'll be back in a couple more weeks, but I promise,

we're gonna take that trip to Disney World

right after I get back.

But now I want you to be a big girl

and help your mama out, okay?

- Why can't you just come home already?

- I will soon.

Mikayla, we spoke about this already, all right?

My work is important and daddy has to put away the bad guys.

I know you understand that now,

but you will when you get older.

Now get ready for bed, listen to your mama,

tell your brother that he's the man of the house,

and I love him.

Give him a hug for me.

- Okay, bye.

Are you okay?

- I'll be all right, baby.

- Look, I got somebody at the door, I need to let you go.

Okay, bye.

Come in.

Michael, so sorry for making you wait.

DA's had me on the phone for two hours

in a damn conference call.

He's been riding my ass, swear to God.

Anyway, glad you're here.

Have great things about you and your dedication to the work.

- Thank you, thank you, sir.

- I'm just a little confused about why you're here.

It's like they don't have any confidence

in our court here for some reason.

But, no matter, we hope you have a good time

here in the city.

- Awesome, thank you, sir.

- Yeah, we just need you

to fill out some of this paperwork here.

Before I give you this,

I wanna make sure that you know

that you cannot come back to this office

until your assignment is complete.

You do understand that, right?

Right, right, I know that, sir.

- Okay, well, here you go.

All right.

- Thank you, sir.

- You're welcome.

- Talk to me, que paso?

There's a new undercover agent coming

to Atlanta to take down your organization.

- Hmm, I see.

Who is this agent?

Well, well, well, seems like we have a little competition.

Oh, he is not like the others. He won't play.

- As always, I appreciate the call.

You do know how much you're earning for this, right?

Of course I do,

and I always deliver on my promises.

- Good.

'Cause if this federales gets in my way,

I'll make sure that he regrets it.

Oh, I have no doubt about that.

You can count on me.

- I always do.

Coming!

Hold your horses, knocking on my door.

Who is this knocking on my door like that...?

Michael? - Mama.

- What are you doing here? Come give me a hug.

- Good to see you, Mama.

- Oh, it's always good to see you.

What brings you here?

- Well, I wanted to share some news with you.

- What news you got to share with me?

- I'm assigned here to Atlanta for an undercover operation.

- Really? - Yeah.

- That's wonderful. - Thank you.

- I've always been so proud of you.

- Thank you, Mama.

I'm really looking forward to it too.

- So where you gonna stay?

I know you don't wanna be spending

all your money on rent.

- Of course, the DEA,

they gonna cover for a place for me to stay.

It's business. - Boy,

ain't no need for all that.

Now I've been taking care of you since I was 13,

and I can take care of you now.

You gon' stay right here with me.

I have an extra room that's just collecting dust.

Plus, I know the government wanna save some money.

- You sure, Mama?

I suppose I could talk to my boss about it.

- Am I sure?

Of course, I'm sure.

It'll be great to have you around.

Haven't seen you in so long, Michael.

Plus, you can help out

with some of his housework around here.

- See, I knew it. You just want a live in housemate?

- Yeah, guilty as charged, Officer.

Come in. - All right.

Where do you want me to get started at?

- You gon' just show up and don't tell nobody.

- Hey boss. What's up?

- Hey, Michael. Yeah, I'm just checking in.

Anything going on?

- Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold on.

Think I see something.

There's a guy over there

and he just sold something to the person in the car.

You gotta be patient.

Yeah, that's it, Michael. You gotta be patient.

You don't wanna blow your cover, okay?

- Boss, I could call for backup and make the arrest.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Can't do that right now.

Okay, Michael. Be patient with this.

You've got to be patient and not blow your cover.

- All right.

All right. I got you, boss.

- Okay, good. All right.

- Can't believe they sent a clean cop into our territory.

He's going to be trouble.

- So boss, what do you want us to do?

- We be careful. No mistakes.

- What about the whale in Mexico?

- We must make sure that they never find out

that we're under surveillance.

If we lose their business, we are screwed.

- Why don't we just kill 'em and be done with it?

- Take him out.

- Yeah, that's the play.

We should take 'em out.

- Enough. Are you an idiot?

We don't need anything to attract any attention

to our operations.

Our downtown has been the cleanest

in this country for years.

You are not going to change now.

- So what do you want us to do, boss?

- We use our heads. We check Michael out quietly.

This is how we've done it for years.

This is how we'll continue to do it. Understood?

Yes, sir.

- Hey, what's up boss?

- Hi, just checking in, Michael.

Any news?

- Nothing much.

Just been driving around the city,

scoping out these known dealing locations

and I haven't seen anything yet.

- Just making sure you got your eyes peeled

and you're checking out everything.

- It is strange because this neighborhood is known

for its high volume of drug sales,

but I haven't seen anything yet.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

There's a car just pulled up and this homeless lady.

- What?

- She just exchanged something with the driver.

I'm gonna make an arrest. I'm gonna move in.

- No, just observe for now, Michael, okay?

We don't want to blow our cover, okay?

- Yeah, yeah. Just observe.

- Well, Frederick, it's happening right in front of me.

I can't just sit here and do nothing.

I know it's frustrating,

but just stay safe and get the information that we need

or else we won't be able to take 'em down, all right?

- All right, I'm gonna hold back for now,

but this shit is frustrating, Frederick.

Okay, that's good, Michael.

Yeah, so yeah, like I said, stay safe,

keep your head down, get all the information you can,

and hey, I'll be in touch with you, okay?

- I will. Thanks, Frederick.

Shit is this?

- Micheal, no. Don't go, Micheal.

Mama, please.

- Let him go, let him go.

- I'll leave you a territory. Just let me go.

- Let him go, Michael.

Michael, no.

- Mama.

Mama. - No.

- Mama, wake up.

Wake up.

What's the matter?

- Oh my God. Oh baby, I had a bad dream.

I dreamt that you were being tortured

by those drug cartel and enforcers.

- Mama.

I'm all right. It was just a dream.

I'll be fine.

- Oh, Michael.

Michael baby, please don't go to that duty post.

Don't go.

- Look mama. I'll be okay.

I worked harder jobs,

tougher territories than that in the past, trust me.

- I know, I know baby,

but those drug cartel guys, they're ruthless.

Please Michael, reconsider for me, please.

- I'm gonna have to go.

- Michael, please.

No, don't go.

Michael.

Michael.

- Mama, don't worry. I'll be fine.

I promise.

Hello?

Yeah, Michael.

- Hey, what's up boss?

Well, it's come to my attention that you've been talking

to some of the folks here at the precinct about your case.

What?

- No, I mean,

I might have mentioned some things in the past,

but nothing confidential.

- We cannot have any leaks whatsoever.

- I'm sorry. I didn't realize, sir.

- Yeah, just make sure you gather all the information

that you can and have it together within two weeks.

You do understand that, right?

Of course.

You can count on me.

- Okay.

- Hello?

Are you sure?

No way that there could be any leaks, right?

You didn't discuss this with anybody, right?

- Yes, I'm a hundred percent sure. Why do you ask?

- Well, it's just that the cartel

is very dangerous operation

and I don't want anything to happen

to you while you're out there.

- Thank you, sir.

What I got myself into?

- This Michael guy. He's a real pain in my ass.

I can't have him disrupting my business like this.

We need to do something about it.

What's the plan? - I have a plan.

I'm going to put someone on him, get close to him,

find out what he knows, what he's up to.

- Who do you have in mind, boss?

- This lovely lady right here.

I want her to seduce Michael by any means necessary.

I want her to get close to him,

find out what he knows about her operations.

- I see. So what exactly is it that you won't her to do?

- He eats at the diner by the park most days.

I want her to get a job there.

Get as close to him as possible.

Find out what he knows, what he's up to.

- I see. Consider it done.

- I know it will be done.

We all know the consequences of failure.

- Hi. Do you need anything?

- I'm good, thank you. All right.

- Oh, I am so sorry about that.

Let me pick that up for you.

- That's cool. It's just bread.

- So what brings you here tonight?

- It's quiet dinner. This is my favorite spot.

- Well, I hope you enjoyed everything.

Is there anything else I can get for you?

- No, I'm good. I was just about to leave anyways.

- Well, if you change your mind, just let me know.

I'm here to make sure you have a great dining experience.

Hope you don't mind me asking,

but I noticed that you're not wearing a wedding ring.

Are you single?

- Well, this kind of com...

Yeah, yeah. I'm single.

Why you ask?

- I just thought it'd be great

if maybe we could get together, hang out,

have drinks, maybe dinner?

- I'd like that. Yeah, let's do it.

- I'm here every day now.

I get off around eight, so just come by.

- That's right. You new here, I could tell.

Took you about 45 minutes to bring my bread.

- I'm sorry.

- I've been coming here every day for the past few weeks

and I ain't never seen your beautiful face.

So Rose, they call you Rosie.

- You can call me anything you want.

- I'll call you tomorrow.

You are very gorgeous.

Thank you.

- Very beautiful you. You know this.

Thank you.

- I'm glad you are here.

- You have a really nice house. You living by yourself.

- Rose, I need to tell you something.

I have a wife.

- Yeah, I figured.

- Hold on, wait. What you mean?

Wait. You knew?

How'd you know?

- You hesitated when I asked if you were married?

Let's be honest.

A guy like you doesn't stay single for little.

- Look, Rose. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

I was just afraid that I will lose you.

- It's okay.

Look, I'm not ready for anything serious right now anyway.

- Thank you.

And as far as the house, this is my mom's spot.

She's a flight attendant.

She literally lives in the air,

and you might be lucky enough to catch her in her off days.

- That'd be nice.

- I just don't know what's gonna happen

when I go back to Memphis.

- Let's not worry about that right now.

Let's just enjoy tonight.

- Thank you.

Morning, beautiful.

- Good morning to you too, handsome.

- I need to take a shower. You want to join me?

- Mm, as tempting as that sounds,

think I'm gonna have to pass.

- Your loss.

- Buenos dias, Rosita.

- Zuda, I just wanted to give you a heads up

that Michael mentioned something about going out

on surveillance today.

- Very good. Very good, Rosita.

I make sure that my boys stay clear of the area.

- Okay? I'll call you when I know more.

- You do that. Gracias.

That was Rosita.

We need to keep our guys off the streets

and away from the drops today.

Give them these burners.

Tell them to only text each other today.

- So you are telling me this guy has our phone tapped?

I said it once and I'll say it again.

We need to take him out. I have a connection in Miami.

He can come and pop little Mikey be back in Miami tonight.

No connection to us.

- I said, no.

I have a plan for this guy. Let Rosa work her mojo.

Just tell our guys to let low for a while.

- You are the boss.

- Are you kidding me? What the hell is going on here?

Somebody in this neighborhood has to be selling drugs.

What the hell is going on here?

It is quiet as hell out here.

It ain't nothing happening right here.

- What is all this? Is Candace here.

- Michael.

Michael, how dare you bring a woman in my house?

- Mama...

- I traveled for two days and...

And all this.

- I didn't think you'll be here, mama.

It is not what it look like.

- Don't you dare lie to me.

- You know, I've raised you better than this.

You are a married man. Your wife is carrying your son.

You have two children for crying out loud.

How would you feel if your daughter married

a man who does this to her?

What would you say to that man, Michael?

- Mama look, it's complicated. I'm working undercover.

I need to maintain my cover.

- No, don't use your job as an excuse for this betrayal.

We are a Christian family and the scripture says,

no military engaged in civilian affairs.

- Mama, I know what I'm doing, okay?

I'm not in any way distracted.

I just need some company today.

- Is that what you tell yourself to justify your actions?

You are just like your father.

The Bible says he that thinketh he's standing,

let him take heed lest he falls.

- Now, Mama, listen to me. You know, that's not fair.

Don't bring my daddy into this.

'Cause maybe if you let go of your bitterness,

you coulda had a little bit more fun in your life.

You always walk around with that Bible in your hand.

I'm just saying, if you never put my father away,

you coulda had more fun in life.

That's all I'm saying.

- You take it back right now, you take it back.

- I'm sorry, mama.

I didn't mean that. I'm just trying to do what's right.

That's it.

- I didn't raise you to be like this. You lost yourself.

And I fear that you're losing yourself in the process.

You need to repent.

Repent.

- Oh, you okay? Okay.

What is this? You all right?

- What is this? Michael? You hiding your badge for me?

You're a cop?

- Listen, Rose.

Let me explain.

I didn't wanna burden you with the truth.

I thought it would be best if I kept my identity in

and especially considering our situation.

- Keeping secrets is not the answer.

Michael, I've been down this road before.

My ex was a drug dealer and he hid it from me.

When I found out, I just couldn't trust him anymore.

Trust means more to me than anything else.

- Look, I know, baby.

Look, I didn't mean to deceive you or compromise our trust.

I thought I was protecting you, Rose.

But now I see you as just a mistake. I'm sorry.

- I wanna believe you, Michael,

but trust is fragile and it's been shattered before.

How do I know this won't happen again?

- Look, I can't promise you

that mistakes won't happen again.

But I could promise you for now on, to be honest with you,

I value our relationship.

I want this forever,

and I don't wanna lose you because of my actions.

- I wanna believe you, Michael,

but trust is hard to rebuild.

It won't be easy.

- All right?

I'm willing to do whatever it takes,

put in the effort to regain your trust again.

I'm so sorry, Rose.

- Yeah, Michael, I need an update and I need it now.

What's going on?

Frederick, I understand the urgency.

We need to take the necessary time to gather all the facts

before presenting a comprehensive report.

- Look, Michael, I've given you two weeks.

This is an unexcusable, I mean it.

I understand the pressure, Frederick,

but rushing this investigation may compromise its integrity.

- Okay, look, I'll give you more time.

Thank you, Frederick.

- But you gotta come through with me with something.

All right?

I won't rest until I have everything we need

to bring them down.

- Yeah. Well, lines are at stake here, and I need something.

These people are wanting to see results.

Absolutely.

- Any little thing you got,

no matter how small it is, you gotta get it to me.

Frederick, I won't let you down.

- Okay.

Oh, my dear Michael,

I can no longer bear witness to the choices you made.

Your affair with Rose has deeply disappointed me.

I cannot condone such actions,

especially when your wife is carrying your child.

I've decided to leave the house

and go to Memphis to be with her.

I hope that you'll reflect on the consequences

of your actions and find your way back

to what truly matters.

Take care, my son.

- Michael, Michael, what's, what's wrong?

Michael, Michael, Michael. What's wrong?

What? Michael?

Oh, Michael, take two puffs. Come on.

Breathe, slower, breathe.

- Thank you, Rose.

- Michael, why didn't you tell me you had asthma?

- Asthma always been a weakness of mine since childhood.

- Thank you.

- Michael, we all have strengths and weaknesses, okay?

It's a part of being human.

Your asthma doesn't define you or make you any less capable.

We all have challenges that we have to face,

what matters is how we face them.

- Asthma, I always thought it would hinder my abilities

as a DEA agent, that I be viewed weak,

incapable, and unreliable.

- No true strength doesn't come

and hiding our vulnerabilities,

but accepting them and figuring out ways to overcome.

I believe in you, Michael, asthma or not.

Your dedication to justice speaks volumes.

- You know, my biggest fear was that

if I revealed my weaknesses,

I wouldn't be taken seriously or respected

or even trusted in my line of work.

- Michael, I'm proud of you and I love you, okay?

I'm here.

- Thank you, Rose.

Your understanding means the world to me.

- Come, let's go.

- I think I have to call Zuda.

Speak to me.

Hey, Zuda, my friend.

How long have we know each other?

20 Years.

- That's right. A long time.

- Si. - And all these years,

I never let you down.

Listen, I appreciate your offers,

but I can't take the risk for my boys to get caught.

You understand that?

- So what are you saying?

- Look, that's not a secret that the police is only to you.

It is too high.

I'm sorry, I can't help you. Good luck

- Amingo, Amingo, listen to me.

Now, I understand your concern.

Staying outta jail comes first.

But you know that we have always been discreet.

We have always been trustworthy.

You know that I will handle business.

Hello?

Hello?

Que pasa, Rosita.

- Zuda, I've discovered something about Michael.

He has asthma. It's a weakness that he's kept hidden.

Could this be an advantage for us?

You don't have to ask me twice, Rose.

This changes the game.

We'll use every advantage that we can get.

Tell me everything that you know.

- First, he lives in a house with his mother.

She left to go be with his wife

when she found out about our affair.

He was working out this morning

when he had an asthma attack.

I thought about just letting him die, but I saved him.

- Hmm.

- Look, he told me that he feels like he has

to hide this from the DEA and he can't run after criminals.

Could we use this?

- Absolutely. It's time to turn the tables on him.

You did good, Rosita.

Smith, I want you to get everyone together

to meet us at our spot tomorrow morning.

It's gonna be an emergency meeting.

We are gonna come up with a plan to take Michael down.

- This Michael character has to go.

Let me take him out today.

- No, I already told you. I have a plan for him.

Everyone listen up.

We're going to get a lady,

someone that Michael does not know.

She's going to ride in the car with Rose.

At exactly 6:00 PM after Michael wraps up his surveillance,

Rose will stop him,

introduce the lady as her aunt and insist

that Michael help her.

You, you'll take her purse.

Take Michael on a run.

- He took my purse. Please go get it.

He took my purse.

Dirty pathways, dusty areas,

that should make him prime for an asthma attack.

When he gets close, you will surrender the purse.

You'll get close enough to him.

Spray him with this.

- Let's go, baby.

You think you running streets, huh?

That's should trigger a massive asthma attack.

- Yes sir, boss.

- Rose, he falls, you will come in.

You will spray with this two or three shots.

Make sure that he dies.

When he's dead, call the police.

Give them his inhaler,

so it looks like you are trying to save him.

Do you two understand me? Any questions?

I want you to move products.

Take care of this mess.

But boss-

- I can't have the police investigating

a dead body in my office.

Get rid of her.

- Somebody bring me some honey.

- Calm down. Breathe.

- Calm down.

- Breathe, Rose.

- Give her some room, give her some room to breathe.

Don't try to speak, don't try to speak, breathe easy.

- Okay, Rose.

- Michael, Michael, Michael here. Breathe, just breathe.

- Fuck is she doing?

- Slowly, deep breaths, come on, Michael, slowly.

Sorry.

Come on Michael.

Sorry.

You're

- Thank you, Rose.

- Damn.

- Rod, Abulame,

why is this man still walking around snooping

in my business?

- Like I said, boss, I ain't had no choice.

What was I supposed to do? The cops started chasing me.

I dosed him with the shit, he started to die.

- But he did not die.

- That's the crazy thing.

He started to kick off,

and then Rose came outta fucking nowhere,

shoves the damn inhaler as his fucking mouth.

- You failed me, Rod. I will deal with you later.

- Boss, I can fix this.

- Go back to your post.

- Yes.

- Is this true, Rosita.

Did you revive him?

- I'm sorry, Mr. Z.

I was just overcome with the emotion, and you know,

I always thought that this was a really bad idea

and that we get caught.

Part of me wanted to protect you

and Rod from a murder charge.

- How sweet.

- So you did this for us?

One could think that maybe you fell in love with this cop

and perhaps your loyalties are misplaced.

- No, I don't love him. I was just doing my job.

But I can promise you it won't happen again.

- It better not happen again.

You or me.

You work for me.

But tomorrow is Valentine's Day,

and my top supplier will be in town.

I suggest that you keep your dog in this cage.

- Michael?

Hey, good morning.

- Good morning. Good morning.

- Where you going?

- Oh, it's a work day. I got a job to do.

- But I thought we could spend the day together.

You know, it's Valentine's Day.

We could do Valentine's Day things.

- I'm not...

Do it look like I forgot? I remember.

We gonna go out tonight. We'll have dinner.

- But come on, it's our first Valentine's Day.

Look, I really don't want to be alone today.

Especially today.

- Come on, look. Try to understand, okay?

This is my career. This is my livelihood.

I really gotta find these guys, they're dangerous.

Gotta get 'em off the streets.

The chief is riding me, he wants results.

I need to bust soon, but I just can't right now.

But I promise tonight when I get back,

we're gonna have dinner and a romantic evening.

I promise.

Hey, beautiful.

You're so sweet.

But we still have time to do some Valentine things.

- Or we can stay in.

- You know, in is good.

We could watch "Friends Like"

Hey, you know I love you, baby.

It's hard because I didn't plan this.

I never thought this could happen to me, but it did.

I love you, Rosie.

I've loved you from the moment I took your order.

I need you.

- I need you too, baby.

♪ I just took ♪

Let's do some Valentine things.

- Nice.

- Cheers. - Cheers, to us.

- And today.

- You wanted to see me, Mr. Z?

- Si. Come here, Rosita.

Sit here.

- So, Rosita, did you have a nice Valentine's Day?

- I'm sorry, Mr. Z,

I tried to get him to stay home with me.

- Enough.

You have displeased me.

But look, saw your boyfriend setting up his surveillance.

You think we don't know? We're two steps ahead of him.

I trusted you.

I gave you a second chance and you betrayed me.

You skipped my meetings, why?

- I missed some meetings because of work.

I have to work.

- You work for me, I got you that job.

So that you have time for me when I need you.

I pay you.

I take care of you, and you turned on me.

- Sorry for the things that I did.

I made some really bad choices. But you can trust me.

I won't let it happen again.

I know it won't happen again.

- Mama.

- Shut the fuck up.

- No, no, Mr. Z, please look.

I owe you. Let my mom go home.

Please, just let her go. I owe you.

What do you need me to do?

- Oh, I know you will.

You understand now.

The ball as you people say is in your court.

You call the play.

- I'll do it. I'll do it.

I'll get Michael here and I won't tell him anything.

Just please hurt my mom, please.

Tell me what you want me to do.

- You go home, you say nothing to the cop.

Your mother will stay with his sister

until your job is done.

This is your last chance, Rosita.

Go home. Wait for my call.

- Mama.

- I love you, I love you.

I love you, baby.

I love you, I love you, baby.

- Mama, come on.

- Hey, Candice baby.

Look, I'm so sorry I haven't called you.

Nevermind, sorry. It's your mama.

Not the mother of the kids you don't call.

- Mama, what are you doing there? When you get there?

- Look, you need to start paying attention to your family.

Michael, I didn't raise you to be this way.

Mama, you know I don't have a normal job, right?

I'm a undercover cop.

I work odd hours sometimes days on end.

I can't do anything at risk blowing my cover.

- Well, if the job is making you a bad man

and a poor father, you need to find another job.

That's what you need to do. - Give me that phone, Mama.

- You've been busy before.

Okay, you neglect me, but the children?

You won't even take the time

to read your daughter a bed time story.

Now tell me, what is wrong with your mother?

What do you mean what's wrong with mama?

- Why is she here? Is she sick?

Did you too fight or something?

- I don't know why she went there.

She didn't tell me anything. She just went.

I mean, she seemed okay.

- Well, I'll find out from her what's going on.

Phone.

Ain't nothing wrong with me.

What's wrong with you running around here with that whore?

Whore, what?

Wow.

- Mama, what did you say to Candice?

How dare you call Rose a whore?

You don't even know her like that.

You need to mind your business sometimes, mama.

- Boy, how dare you raise your voice at me?

I know what a whore is. What a homewrecker is.

- Look mama, she not like that. It is not what you think.

- Yeah, well it is what I see.

- But you don't see at all,

you just see parts and you go from that.

But you don't know my job.

You don't know my life or this situation that I'm in.

I'm a grown man and an undercover cop. I call the plays.

I run my life in my cover.

But this is exactly why I shouldn't even stay

with you in the first place.

I gotta go.

Why is she there?

Hello?

- That woman you were with, the waitress,

she works for Zuda.

Her assignment is to kill you.

- Who is this? How do you know to call me?

How do you get this number?

You don't need to know these things.

If you don't believe me,

you just have to find out for yourself.

I sent you a text with a link to an app.

Download that app on her phone

and you can hear every phone call she makes.

I know you're a DEA agent.

If you don't use my app, get one from the DEA.

- Who are you?

Don't worry about that.

Just know that I'm out here to help you.

That girl, I bet she won't even be home tonight.

It's because she's got a meeting with Zuda.

- In you oh God I lift up my soul.

Oh my God, I trust in you.

Let me not be ashamed,

indeed, Let no one who waits on you be ashamed.

Let those be ashamed,

who treacherously deal without a cause.

Do not grant oh God, the desires of the wicked.

Do not further his wicked scheme, lest they be exalted.

Amen.

- You listen to me.

Don't you ever call me again, you understand?

Lose this number.

I can find you.

- Hey baby, I'm sorry.

Dinner's gonna be a little late today.

I had a hectic day at work.

- I feel exactly the same way. I have no appetite.

- I'll still make you a little something,

but I'm gonna go to bed a little early, okay?

- All right. I'll be in there at their news call.

- Oh my God.

- Candice.

Candice, baby, what's on your mind?

- It's Michael.

He doesn't call.

He doesn't even seem like he cares us anymore.

I understand that some of it is pressure from his job

and all, but I miss him so much.

I just need to talk to him.

I can't call him, and I don't go and see him.

- What you mean you not allowed to go see him?

- His DEA rules.

He afraid I'll blow his cover.

And if I call him or if we see together

and if a cartel finds out,

they'll know who he really is and they can kill him.

And maybe us.

He's-

- And I just told him he needed to find another job.

But hey, what do I know?

I just gave birth to him and raised him.

- I just don't know what to do about this.

I worry about him and I worry about the kids.

- Well, look, Candace, baby,

that fool is going to do what he want to do.

Now I wanna see the both of you happy there, I really do.

But you cannot let another person control your happiness.

You have to give all of your love and affection to God,

and never let another human being's attention

be the source of your happiness.

He is the only immutable one.

Psalms one 19 says, if your law had not been the source

of my joy, I would have perished in my misery.

- I know, mama. You taught me to read the Bible too.

- Yes, I did. - But it's hard.

I just don't know what to do about this.

- Will you just keep your gaze and your hope in God

and we will see what happens.

- Okay.

- You gonna be all right.

- I hope so. - Give mama a hug.

I'm so stupid.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Mr. Z.

Rosita.

- Please don't hurt my mother, okay?

I have a plan to kill Michael.

I am not the one who will hurt your mother.

Her fate is in your hands.

You fail, your mother's blood is on your hands, not mine.

You kill Michael, your mother lives.

- I'll tell you my plan when I see you,

but I'll get it done.

I know you will, Rosita.

- Come in.

- Thank you for inviting me and the information.

So you work here?

What, you a world history teacher or something?

- Yeah, but like I said over the phone,

we don't have to meet.

I told you everything that I heard,

but you are doubting Thomas.

Bet you believe me now, don't you?

- It happened just like you said it would.

My phone buzzed, I could believe it.

Rose is on the phone talking to Zuda.

- I know.

- She says she has plans to take me out,

and he has her mother too.

- I know that too.

- So how you know all of this,

but you a cop, DEA?

- You don't need to know about all that, man.

I'm just looking out for you.

Something like this happened to me once. Girl set me up.

- So how'd you handle it?

- Roughed up a little bit.

Beat her like a dog in the streets.

Made sure she wasn't able to say nothing for a while.

- No, man, I can't do that.

That certainly will help my situation.

- But it'll certainly make you feel better.

Like they say, snitches get stitches.

- All right, man. I'm outta here.

- Watch your back, man.

- Thank you. I will.

- 12 calls from Z. See.

- Here are your orders.

- Here you go.

Michael, baby, please, look,

it's not what it looks like, okay?

Lemme explain.

Look, I have a lot going on in my life right now,

and I didn't really know how to tell you, but...

Please just try to be understanding a little bit.

You know what I mean? Just-

- It looks like you're talking to Zuda.

- No, that's not it.

- Yeah?

- No, it's... It looks like

you betrayed me.

- It's more to it. - It looks like

you set me up.

- Michael, please. You don't know, okay?

- Don't tell me what I know.

Don't tell me what I know.

- Michael, he has my mother, okay?

It was either you or my mother.

I had to make the best decision that I could make.

- The best decision?

- Yes, the best decision I could make.

- You wanna know my decision?

- I'll go tell the family.

Time of death 7:25 AM.

- What you mean time of death?

She just fell, what are you talking about?

- Are her husband?

- No, I brought her here. I'm her boyfriend.

- You need to understand what is going on here.

We have to follow medical procedures.

Like...

- We can only talk to her family at this moment.

- Listen, I'm not her family.

She doesn't have any family members.

- I'm sorry. - It's just me.

- I can't say much 'cause you're not family.

But sadly she passed before we can get a full assessment.

- We treated her wounds.

- No.

And tried to provide

- No.

- She had a seizure.

- Rose, why?

- I'm sorry.

Sir. - No.

- Sir, I'm sorry.

- Only her family at this time, sir.

- I'm sorry.

- You need to leave.

- We are a Christian family

and we know not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

The scripture says, no military engage in civilian affairs.

You've lost your way.

And I fear that you're losing yourself in the process.

- Hello?

Ola, Miguel.

- Miguel, who's this?

- You know who this is?

Is good to finally hear your voice.

- Zuda.

- I have something for your listening pleasure.

I had to make the best decision

that I could make.

- Best decision?

- Yes, the best decision that I could make.

Would you like to see the video?

I can put you away for life for this, Miguel,

- But you haven't already, because you want something.

- Si, you are a smart cop.

So tell me, Miguel, what do you think I want?

- I have a few things in mind.

Listen to me, just...

I'll do whatever you want, just don't do anything.

I know you will.

You know the park that you go to

where you sit up your surveillance to watch my dealers?

- Yeah, I know what you mean?

- I need you to be there

9:00 AM tomorrow morning.

Don't be late.

No wires, no cameras, no backup.

My boys will be there to bring you to me.

We're watching you, Miguel.

Ola, Miguel, welcome.

Make yourself comfortable.

- I need to know that you're not gonna double cross me.

I need to know that you won't turn me in, please.

I'll give you anything you want.

- I know you will, and here's what you're going to do.

You see, I lost buyers because of you.

They see you hanging around, they hear rumors, they leave.

I want them back.

- So you want me to just wrap up and go away?

- No, I want you to stay.

I want you to make sure that they know

that they have police protection.

That you guarantee that they will not be busted.

You will make deliveries.

So if you bust them,

you will be entrapment because you are a dealer now.

Understand?

- I understand.

- Man, you gotta speak up.

- You can go away for life, Miguel.

And I know where your family lives.

Comprende?

- I understand.

- No, we don't say understand here.

We say...

Yes, boss.

- So Michael?

- Yes, boss.

- Michael.

- Yes, boss.

Bro, you need to speak up, man.

You back tightened up.

- This is not loud enough. Can anyone hear you?

- Say with your chest.

Michael?

- Yes, boss.

- There you go.

- Good, good. Michael?

- Yes, boss.

- Good, good.

And you see, when we understand each other,

we work well together.

Miguel.

- You better go push that weight.

- Miguel.

- Michael.

Oh God.

Michael, Michael, Michael.

- Mama help.

- Michael no.

- Mama.

Michael, Michael.

Lord, Lord, save my son.

Oh god.

Dear heavenly father,

I will kneel here down before you

with a heavy heart.

Lord, I'm asking for your divine intervention and guidance.

Lord, you know the depths of my love for my son

and the depths of my despair.

You spoke to me through a dream

when my beloved son cried out to me from the confines

of a jail cell pleading for salvation.

Lord, only you alone have the power to save him

and lead him back to a path of righteousness.

Lord, I pray that your grace

and mercy overflow in his life penetrating the darkness

that has clouded his judgment,

leading him on the right path.

In your name.

Amen.

- Hey, what's up boss?

What's up?

What's up? That's how you address the superior officer.

What's up? Let me tell you something.

I'll tell you what's up, buddy boy.

We don't have any reports from you. That's what's up.

So spill it. What do you got?

- I'm working on it now. Something came up.

- You know Michael, DC is breathing down my neck right now

because you haven't given them anything.

They're threatening to bring a whole nother crew in here.

Yeah, so you better get your little self together.

I mean, we need something now.

- I know, Frederick, you gotta cover yourself,

but don't worry about it.

I'm going to get it done.

- I'm not gonna throw you under the bus, Michael.

But you know how politics is over here.

- Hey boss, I gotta go. Got some business to attend to.

- Princess?

- Drop it in the back. - Show me the money.

- It's all here. Look, we don't have to do this.

Let's move and get it out of here.

- I don't know you.

- Well, your boss does. Now let's move.

It's the same weight, same cash, same time.

The clock is ticking.

- You stole from me, Miguel.

- What are you talking about stole?

- My client informed me that there was some product missing.

He says you stole it. Perhaps some fell out.

- Look, he's fucking lying. I don't steal.

You need to look in the bag.

- What is this? But perhaps maybe I was mistaken.

I apologize, Miguel.

- I don't look in the packages.

I don't touch the drugs and I don't touch the money.

- I see why you so very trusted by the DEA.

Many will try to make fast money off of this medium.

But I have another assignment for you, so listen closely.

I need you to use your DEA credentials

to get a couple of my men and the package into Mexico.

- Listen, I don't think you understand

how the border patrol works, you understand?

It's too risky.

With new technology, drug sniffing dogs,

they'll be all over any vehicle in a matter of seconds.

I have to produce a clearance just to go through

without a check from the office.

Show an official operation.

- You look.

You don't know what's involved here.

This is millions of dollars,

and I really don't care what happens to you.

- Listen, you need to listen to me.

I'm already putting my job on the line for you.

I'm not gonna jeopardize my freedom over this.

I'm just telling you to cover both

of us from getting locked up, bro.

It can't be done.

- You get it done.

- Motherfucker not today.

- Michael, no, don't go, Michael.

No, no baby. No baby.

Come back, come back to Mama, Michael.

- Now that was stupid.

- Mm.

- Young blood, there's a reason why I'm called Lord Zuda.

- Yes.

- You have 24 hours to come up with a plan

or you go down for murdering Rosita.

- Oh Lord, I lost my way.

Sold my soul.

I don't even know what to do anymore.

I fell from your grace and I landed right in his traps.

I never thought in a million years did I work for Lord Zuda.

But that's my reality now.

If there's a way, lead me.

- Michael, I heard every word you said

from the moment you walked in here, and he did too.

And yes, yes, son, you fell from his grace,

but Jesus rose again and so can you.

- Mom, what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?

- A mother knows.

Haven't I always told you that?

Now listen to me.

I wanna tell you a little story about a man,

a poor hunter and his wife who lived on an island.

They didn't have enough money to eat twice a day.

So the hunter decided to leave his home and find a new job.

He told his wife, he didn't know how long he'd be gone,

but he promised to remain loyal to her.

He'd ask her if she'd do the same for him,

and with many tears and great sorrow,

she agreed to wait faithfully.

He departed, and after many days of traveling

to the other side of the island,

he found a town and got a job there.

He told his boss to keep all of his earnings

until he returned home.

20 years later, he was ready to return,

and his boss made him an offer to either take the money

or give him three bits of advice.

After much consideration,

he decided to go for the three advices.

His boss smiled and replied, never take shortcuts in life,

avoid lust like the plague.

Anger is like a wild animal. Tame it.

He gave him some food and said goodbye.

He thanked his boss and started his journey back home.

While returning,

he met a traveler who asked him where he was going.

He replied saying, I'm going back home from work.

After 20 years,

it will take me almost 11 days to make it home.

The traveler said, I will show you a quicker way to get home

without passing the big and long river.

The hunter quickly remembered the first advice

that his boss had given him, and he took the long path.

After a short distance, he met a woman who told him

that the cannibals always send a person to mislead people

on that path he was coming from to an isolated region,

where they get eaten by cannibals.

When he got to the other side of the river,

he met a very beautiful woman who asked him

to spend the cold night with her at her house.

Once again, he remembered the advice

of his boss and declined.

After 11 days of journeying through the jungle and river,

he arrived home, but what he saw was very shocking.

He saw his wife hugging another man.

He was full of anger, and he drew out his bow and arrow.

And as he was about to kill both of them with one shot-

- Not today.

He remembered the piece

of advice from his boss,

and he stayed calm.

He went somewhere else to pass the night.

The following day, he returned to his wife

and found her with the same man.

He was ready to accuse her of infidelity and unfaithfulness,

but she yelled, "Honey, this is your son.

I found out I was pregnant two days after you left."

He dropped his bag of food

and realized his boss had hidden all of his wages in it.

So now, now you have some sound advice,

and I didn't even use the Bible, but it was biblical advice.

You see, Michael, in this journey of life,

every piece of advice we will ever need,

it's wrapped up in this book.

And the word of law shall not depart from you,

but you will meditate on it, and in doing so,

you will live a good and successful life.

- I was just bored, you know,

I wanted to have a little company, a little fun.

- Yeah, oh Michael.

Baby, the word says he that breaks a hedge,

the serpent will bite.

It also says that the enemy has hid a trap from me,

but I have not disobeyed your commands.

You see, there's something about obeying the Lord

that keeps us safe from the enemy.

- I understand all of that.

I just feel like I'm so far from him now.

- But Michael, for all have sinned

and come short of the glory of God

and if we say we do not sin, then we are liars.

But if we confess our sins,

he is faithful and just enough to forgive us

and cleanse us of all of our unrighteousness.

Now, Michael, I always taught you,

you can't serve two masters.

You can't serve Jesus and Zuda.

Michael, you have to find your way back to the Lord.

Now, I've also told you about that bitter sugar.

Things that taste sweet to your mouth,

but they're bitter to your soul.

You've been eating that bitter sugar.

Now, say a prayer with me.

Dear Heavenly Father.

- Dear Heavenly Father.

- In this moment of deep anguish.

- This moment of deep anguish.

- I cry out to you for your divine mercy and forgiveness.

- I cry out to you for your divine mercy and forgiveness.

- I implore you to guide me back

to your path of righteousness.

- I implore you to guide me back

to your path of righteousness.

- Please grant me the strength to ask for forgiveness.

- Please grant me the strength to ask for forgiveness.

- And find redemption.

- And find redemption.

- Lord, I ask for your guidance

and intervention to restore my family.

- Lord, I ask for your guidance

and intervention to restore my family.

- And lead me to a life filled with your grace

- And lead me with a life filled with your grace.

- In your holy name I pray, amen.

- Amen.

Thank you, Mama.

- Michael, baby, how's your arm?

- It's getting there.

- Yeah. You need to get that out my house.

- Taking all this back to Zuda.

- Yeah good. You did the right thing.

So what you want for dinner?

- You ain't cook none yet?

- What you want? You want some steaks?

- You expecting somebody?

- No, you?

Yes, I'm coming.

How can I help you?

Excuse me, how can I help you?

Wait. Excuse me.

Excuse me. What is this?

What is this? You can't do this.

Be here.

- Michael Morris.

- That's me, what's this about?

- You're under arrest for narcotics trafficking.

- What?

What? Man, this is crazy.

Man. This is crazy.

- Micheal.

- Don't hurt him.

We got him.

You know who I am.

Yeah, I know who you are.

- I'm undercover.

You know who I am.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

- You know who I am.

- Yeah, I know who you are.

- I'm undercover. - Let's go.

Let's move him. Come on.

- Mama, grab my phone.

- Don't worry, baby. I'm gonna get you-

- Stay out.

- I know a good lawyer. Don't worry, Mama.

Mama.

Ah, wait, wait. My arm, my arm.

Mama.

- Come on.

- Mama. - In the car, let's go.

- Wait, listen to me.

I was taking down Zuda.

- Save it for the lawyer.

- Wait, wait.

- Get in the car.

America is at a standstill.

Did Michael really kill Rose Brown?

We all wanna know.

The streets are crying for justice.

This is shameful and an complete embarrassment

for the entire police force.

- I think it's a little soon to jump to conclusions.

We need to wait for the police to do their work.

- All right, Michael, I do think I can probably get you out

on bail since you are a DEA agent.

But you're going to have to tell them that the drugs belong

to the target of your investigation.

Yes, you violated procedures,

but you were just behind in your reports.

Now there's no reason for them not to believe you, is there?

- This is complicated. - I just don't know.

- Excuse me, counselor.

I need your client for more booking.

- Another charge?

No, what's the charge?

- The murder of Rose Gonzalez.

- Well, I have great news, Mike.

Rose has been found alive.

Your mother found her of all things.

- You mean Rose is alive? My mom found her.

How?

- Could be the grace of God, luck.

The fact that she didn't have enough sense

to get out of town.

Your mom ran into her at the salon.

How doesn't really matter now.

- Test God. Just like my mama said it would be.

So what now?

- Well, Rose already confessed to everything.

♪ Try to think of the reason why ♪

♪ This world is built in your ♪

♪ It's a bitter sugar life ♪

So it turns out that she was being forced

to work for the Zuda Cartel.

And they have her mother too. She may face some charges too.

♪ And your love become my nourishing ♪

But Rose did say that your boss, Frederick,

was also in on this.

And in fact, he was the one

who told Zuda in advance that you were coming.

He gave Rose the information that she needed

to set you up at the start.

See, I knew something was strange

about that place.

The moment I arrived,

there was never any drug deals going down.

Frederick. I trusted him.

Had my life in his hands.

I had his back.

- We'll sort all that out later.

I have motions to file,

but I'm gonna get you out of here fast, okay?

We're gonna clear your name and then sue the DEA.

And if you want your job back, you can get that and more.

- I want to take Frederick down.

Then I want to be restored in the DEA

'cause my name and my reputation means everything to me.

Can you just sit tight here

and I'll get it done?

- Whatever we go through in life

is either a blessing or a lesson.

And for me, the lesson I learned is this.

You can eat anything, man.

But never eat the bitter sugar.
