Alex! You made it!

Ah, hard to believe it's finally happening. I know.

She's going to be amazing. Running her own undercover task force in Manila, she

worked hard for this promotion. Well, she deserves it.

Damn right she does.

Isn't that right, Chief?

What was that?

Detective Alamarez. Yes. The champagne's arrived.

Great. Excuse me, Alec.

Hey.

Wow.

This is nice, huh?

Yeah.

It's too much.

Honestly, it's embarrassing.

Everybody's happy for you.

I'm happy for you. Are you?

Of course.

What do you mean?

Nothing. Look.

This job is a huge recognition of all your artwork.

Your talent.

What?

I'm gonna miss you.

Alex, you're making too much of all of this.

I'm not moving to Denmark.

It's just Manila.

We still see each other, right?

I put the gift shop up for sale.

What?

You did? Why?

My benefit program ending and then the ex-wife signing over to a family ranch

in Texas back to me.

There's nothing keeping me here now.

What do you mean now?

If I could have everyone's attention for just a second, please.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I would like to say something about my partner, my dear friend, Detective Kai

Mendoza.

I was assigned to partner with Kai from her first day on the force.

They thought an old vet like me would be a good match for a young, overly

ambitious rookie. Remember that day, Chief?

And over time...

I've had the special privilege of watching her grow into one of the finest

detectives this island has ever seen.

So I would like for you to join me in a toast, as we wish Detective Mendoza

great success and prosperity in her new endeavor.

Kai!

Cheers!

Thank you.

Come here. Say a few words to your fans.

No. Come on. No. Come on.

Kai, Kai, Kai. Thank you, but no.

I'm sorry to be doing this now, Kai, but we knew we could do it here safely.

Alex Walker, you're under arrest for robbery, grand larceny, and attempted

murder.

What? Chief, is this some kind of joke?

I only wish it was.

What's going on?

My name is Alex Walker.

I'm ex-DEA.

One of my first assignments took me to an isolated beach right here on this

island. Sold what little I had and bought myself a gift shop.

Just peace, no stress, no drama.

Boy, was I wrong.

What did he do?

He shook down this drug dealer for money. Nearly beat him to death.

Wait!

You were supposed to be on a plane. Not till tomorrow. Why would Alex do that?

It makes no sense.

He lost his government payments.

His gift shop wasn't doing very well.

He saw a chance to make a score and go back home with money in his pockets.

I don't buy it. You're not telling us everything. Show me the evidence.

I can't. Why not?

Because you don't work here anymore.

Excuse me. Chief. Chief. Chief.

We know, Alex.

We've been trailing back with this guy.

This accusation does not ring true. Remember, the first time Alex came to

this island was because he was mentally unstable.

Perhaps he had a relapse. Let me look into it, okay?

I'll get to the bottom of it, please.

Jave, he's my friend. That's exactly why you can't get involved.

It's a conflict of interest.

Stay out of this.

Ernesto, that's a direct order.

So, you must be the ex-DEA agent we were told about.

Warden.

What?

There's been another murder.

Where, this time?

In the showers.

It's Patricio, the old guy.

They cut his throat.

Watch your back.

X the amen Witness

declarations perfect, but please this has to be the last

one I can get done a lot of trouble for showing these to you

Alex is accused of shaking down small-time drug dealer Mico Cabrero,

who's being treated at a secret hospital location.

Allegedly, Alex watched him make a sale, followed him into an alley, pistol

-whipped him, and shook him down for a large amount of cash.

I've got the witness report.

Two people said they overheard the whole thing.

We have to talk with them.

They're listed as anonymous.

The report says they recovered the cash Alex took and are having it analyzed by

a forensics team in Manila. Yeah.

Do you think this is some sort of a frame-up?

The chief of comp will be right.

Maybe we don't know Alex Walker after all.

Alex Walker?

Damn it.

Sorry. I heard you were being sent here.

What are you in for?

It's a long story.

I'm sure.

You want some secret undercover mission or something?

Come on, tell me.

I can help you.

Not this time, Mikey.

You do know who they're holding in this prison, right?

I do.

There's a lot of dangerous people here.

You need to be careful.

Come with me.

You think I'm stupid?

Alex, trust me.

There's some people here you really need to meet.

Alex Walker.

You remember me?

How about me?

You put us both in this prison.

Me too.

I would not be here if it weren't for him.

Ex-DEA agent Alex Walker.

Remember me?

I'm the one that you threw in that fire pit made for roasting pigs.

Well, it's good to see you got out all right.

You know that every single one of us here are in here because of you.

Yeah. Or, you know, it could have been major crimes you committed.

I'm just saying.

Well, I got something to say to you, Alex Walker.

Thank you so much.

Yeah. I can't breathe.

Because of you, my life has changed. Yeah.

Ours too. Like, it's like we've been given a second chance to do good things.

I would have been a criminal my whole life if it weren't for you. Me too.

And when I'm out, I can finally pursue my dream as a singer.

And he's really good.

Yeah, really good. Oh, I know. I've heard him sing. You guys, you're not

holding a grudge. No.

Alex, all of us here are grateful to you.

And...

We'll protect you.

You'll protect me.

If we can't talk to witnesses or even review the evidence, we need to talk to

Alex. He was transferred from the holding cells here early this morning.

To where?

Let's find out.

Hurry. We don't have much time. I'm looking.

Wait.

Wait. Wait.

Transfer papers.

Here.

No, no, no, no. No way. What is it?

They're having Alex wait for trial at the Cebu Provincial Jail. They can't put

him in there. That's where they're holding Jace Vargas, the waterboard.

Ocampo signed the transfer papers.

Why would the chief put Alex in a prison that Vargas controls when they know

Vargas is sworn to kill Alex?

Why would Ocampo want Alex dead?

Unless... unless it's not Alex he wants to die.

The Water Border has tried to kill Alex at least three times, even from prison.

Do you think Alex asked Ocampo to send him there so he can kill Vargas?

The chief has never been shy about using extreme measures to reduce crime on the

island, but murder?

Alex thinks he has to get rid of Vargas before Vargas comes after him again.

So Alex set this up so he could kill Jace Vargas?

Those are his main lieutenants.

But Vargas' gang is huge.

That's why Big Bones here started his own gang.

For everyone who didn't want to get dragged into Vargas' web of crime.

They leave you alone?

Most of the time, they just let us do whatever we want to do.

Things have been getting tense.

There have been a couple murders here, and they blame it on us.

Was it you?

No. I just want to do my time.

We'll try to keep it on the down low.

But, Fargas has half the guards on his payroll.

He lives like a king in here.

King rat.

Gather round.

In case you haven't noticed, We're under attack.

We have to be more vigilant than ever.

But I still can't believe they killed Patricio.

He was in his 60s. It was you to get out next year.

You know McBones' guys were behind this.

We gotta get revenge.

In due time, we can't just go start a war.

It'll bring the heat down on us.

We got too much business going on right now.

We don't need the attention.

Poor Patricio.

Where were you when they killed him?

What do you mean, boss?

Patricio.

He was alone in the showers when they got him.

You were assigned to look after him. Where the hell were you? Are you kidding

me? You sent me away. I told you to get the protection money.

I didn't tell you to leave poor old Patricio all by himself.

Remember, you... You never leave anyone vulnerable!

Patricio is dead because of you!

Let this be a lesson.

Unless you want them to take us out one at a time, you must stick together.

You must stay loyal.

United. It's us against everyone.

If we input all the old files, we can cross-reference all the cases.

Get a better overview of everything.

Great. Then hackers can get all the information at once instead of a piece

at a time, huh?

The new text bit is secure, Chief.

Retinal scan, fingerprint verification.

Your thinking's old school.

If you want to get ahead here, don't call me old.

Sorry, boss.

Write up a proposal.

I'll see if we can afford it.

Chief, you got a call from Warden Zamora.

I'll take it in my office.

It's good to hear from you. I just wanted you to know that everything is

going on as planned.

I heard there was a murder shortly before Walker arrived.

We're investigating it.

It could come in handy for us.

I was thinking the same thing.

Just do what you can to help Walker in his mission, okay?

As I've said before, this will solve problems for both of us.

On this we agree.

Dr. Sanchez. Yes?

May I help you? The prison psychologist.

I told you it was her.

Thank God we found you. Is everything all right? We've been trying to reach

you for several days, but apparently we have the wrong contact information. Let

me explain. We're from the governor's office.

The governor? You've been named Correctional Employee of the Year.

Your hard work has not gone unnoticed.

The governor has awarded you a free trip to Manila. Flight and hotel completely

paid for. But the flight leaves in a couple hours. I know it's so last

minute. As I said, we've been trying so hard to reach you for the last several

days.

I don't think I can. The governor's office has called the warden and he is

thrilled about your trip.

You're completely covered.

I guess if the warden's okay with it, I mean... I haven't seen my mom in quite

some time. Well?

Your plane ticket and hotel information is inside.

Well, thank you. This is so unexpected.

Yes. Thank you.

You're so welcome.

I got my ticket into the prison.

You gave her your plane ticket and hotel thing, didn't you?

I know the task force can wait.

You sure you want to be doing this, guy?

I'm not going to let Alex throw his life away.

Aside from the normal scrubdown, there was an incident in here this morning.

I don't want to see any blood or remnants once you guys are through.

Yes, sir. Okay.

Somebody got killed here this morning?

Yeah. Vargas usually has the guards block off time just for him.

But I guess this time he wasn't here and one of his guys got shanked instead.

Yeah.

Looks like they cut an artery.

Yeah, they slit his throat.

I saw them taking away the body, and his chest was bloated up like a balloon.

So gross.

Other than taking a shower, is that the only time that Vargas is alone?

Only in a cell.

Spends a lot of time in there.

But he's got guards on his payroll who protect him there.

He never leaves.

Not even when there's a CDC.

A what?

Contraband detection and control.

So when the guards hear about contraband circulating in a block, they wait until

nighttime, move everyone out, then toss the cells.

And the doors stay open?

Until the inspection's done.

Everybody else goes out in the yard and Vargas stays by himself.

A few of the guards call him out, but he's paid off enough that they usually

just let him sleep.

Depends who's on duty, really.

Some of these guys you can't really buy, you know?

Is that one of the incorruptible guards?

We're in.

Afternoon, sir.

Sorry. I, uh... I'm new here.

I heard you might be the guard that could help me out.

I'm trying to get my hands on a cell phone.

And somebody told me that you might know a guy in cell block one or cell block

two that could sell me one. Now, I am happy to make the right financial

arrangements.

Do you want a month in solitary?

Wrong guard.

Wrong guard.

I'll take that as a no.

We need a CDC in block one and block two. Talk to yourselves.

What are you doing here? We're here to stop you from ruining your life. I don't

need... Wait, wait, who's we?

This way.

Who's there?

I thought

you were leaving for Manila.

Yeah, I am.

You idiot.

God, how could you do this?

Wait. You stayed because... No, don't.

Don't do all of that. Not after you and Ocampo did this behind our backs.

Warren's involved too.

Not better.

This is why we couldn't tell you.

Because we would tell you that it was stupid?

Right. No.

Alex, you can't.

execute people like you're some sort of vigilante. You think I'm here to kill

Vargas?

Who do you... It was her.

What? If you're not here to kill Vargas, then why are you here, Alex?

Well, I might as well let the cat out of the damn thing to keep a cat in.

Talk, please.

When Vargas took out a hit on me, Ocampo started looking into how he was running

a... from within the prison, and it was way bigger than anything we ever

imagined. Okay, this guy has moles in court systems, police departments,

banks. He's making millions from inside a cell, and we were trying to uncover

his entire network by going straight to the source, and I was just... I was this

close to getting my hands on the phone with all his contacts, and you guys blew

the operation.

We wouldn't have blown the operation if we knew what it was.

I still can't believe Chief Ocampo left us out of it. He had... to leave you out

of it.

He thinks there might be a mole in the Markdown Police Department.

He suspected us?

He trusts you.

He trusts you. He wants the mole to think that he didn't, that you didn't

know what was going on, that you were mad at him. He was trying to keep you

out of danger.

But he could risk you?

We figured since Vargas was trying to kill me, there was no reason to put your

names on the list as well.

Still stinks.

I can't believe this.

He has a problem in-house, and instead of going to us, after everything we've

been through with him, he goes to you? What do you want? What do you want me to

say?

He wanted the whole thing siloed. To protect you.

Well, we're in it now.

Yeah, you're in it now.

Any idea how to get that cell phone?

I have to get Vargas out of his cell. He'll just take it with him. Not

necessarily.

Have an appointment.

With who?

New psychologist.

Not interested.

They said it's mandatory.

Fine.

Hey, man.

There's a batch of delicious apico in the mess hall. First come, first served.

I can't leave.

No, go ahead. I'll cover you. It's going fast.

Hey. Hey.

Yeah.

I was right here.

No one keeps me waiting.

And five, six, seven, eight.

Right, Marcus Slick?

Alex, Marcus is on his way back.

I found it, but it's not a real phone.

It's set up as an access terminal to the prison's computer system.

Everything we need is piggybacked to the administration servers.

You said the warden was friendly, right? Yeah.

Knowing this, Guy should be able to access it through the warden's computer.

All right, go. We've got to put this back before he realizes it's gone.

Hello, Alex.

Chase Vargas.

Man, this is where they put you up.

What a crazy coincidence, huh?

How's the waterboarding going? Because you know they say if you don't use it,

you're going to lose it.

Gordon? You in here?

Alex, you honestly think you can come in here, hunt me down like a caged dog?

I'm just here for the free food.

You think you're funny.

I know I'm funny. Let me guess how this plan's supposed to go. You fake some

criminal act, something you can easily clear later. You get some on the inside

to pull some strings to ensure you end up here, where you can lay low, watch

me, try to figure out how to operate.

When the time's right, you strike.

Take me out, and with me...

My entire network.

Wait, who's the funny guy now, huh? Here's the flaw in your plan, Alex.

You think you snuck in here so you can finish me off.

But the truth is, I sent for you.

I brought you here so I can finish you off.

Which is what I'm about to do.

I were to run to you this time, Alex.

All right, all right. Now you're in my world. All right, but before you guys,

you know, kill me and your cell, which is a little incriminating, maybe we can

find some sort of a... a friendlier arrangement.

I don't want a friendly arrangement.

I want the least friendly end for you possible.

Big Bones!

Big Bones!

Vargas and his guys have Alex in his cell.

They're gonna kill him.

We need a lockdown.

Lock it down.

Lock it down now.

Now they're calling us to dinner, boys.

We better get there before the mush gets cold. You don't get a last meal.

Everyone, back to your seats.

I said everyone.

Yes, sir.

Something's happening out there. We should hurry.

Vargas has been piggybacking off of the prison system ever since he got here.

Every order he makes is... Instantly washed over like it's official prison

business. He can move trucks all over the island he can clear funds through

almost every bank and He's got contacts at every port Look at this list. Oh my

god

Very

nice very nice look how they make you all scatter like a bunch of rats It's

almost like they control this place

Well, they don't! I control it!

Alex is one of us.

If you want to fight one of us,

you're going to have to fight all of us.

Sounds good to me.

If it's a bloodbath you want, then it's a bloodbath you get!

This is everything.

Everyone on Vargas' network. Everyone on the take.

Names, bank accounts, payoffs. I don't get it.

How can all this be on the prison system without them knowing?

You can't.

Somebody fight me! This is between me and you. Nobody else needs to get hurt.

Right now, you and me, one-on-one.

Unless you don't have the stones.

Why would I fight you?

I ain't got nothing to prove.

I don't want to get my hands dirty. Finish him. It's because you're a little

man.

These guys, they've been fighting your battles for so long.

Without them, it is the coward.

You're on to take two?

How much did Vargas pay you for your integrity?

My integrity?

Oh, my.

You really don't know how the world works, do you?

Warden, working for Vargas is not worth it.

You think I work for Vargas?

Vargas works for me.

You want to fight me?

You just let me know. Okay, let's fight.

Oh,

you're cheating, huh?

Cheater. You know what a cheater's never... What was the word?

Prosper.

Get him!

You sure you want to keep going with this, Jace?

Because I really don't want to totally humiliate you in front of all your men.

What am I talking about? Of course I do. So we finish this right now.

Let's finish it.

Not so funny now, are you?

Nah, the funny part's over.

You're gonna wish it wasn't.

Kill him! Kill him now! I'll pay everybody down for two months!

He'll pay you until he decides to kill you.

What are you talking about?

How many of your own guys have died recently, Vargas?

Huh? How about Patricio? That's Patricio. You can't ask.

Patricio. They killed Patricio. They didn't kill him. Vargas killed Patricio.

That's how he keeps you guys all in line. Keeps you loyal.

You guys got you running scared, huh? And Patricio knew this. And he was going

to the warden with this information, but Vargas found out about it. He lured him

in the shower where he was guaranteed privacy.

Vargas killed Patricio.

Don't listen to him.

He's lying.

I got witnesses.

Glasses. Tell them. What?

No.

You sent me away.

You told me to collect the protection money, right?

That's what I did.

You were with Patricio.

It wasn't me. It wasn't me! It was you, Jace. It was you. Yeah, how do you know

for sure?

Because we were in charge of cleaning up the blood in the shower.

The coagulation texture in the blood led to me believe this guy was dead long

before Jace cut his throat.

You see, there's something you don't know about Jace Vargas.

He has kind of a sick fetish. He likes to watch his victims drown. That's why

they call him the waterboarder, huh?

Mikey, what'd you say the body looked like when they wheeled it out? His

chest. It was all bloated up like a balloon.

Yeah, common reaction to drowning. You see, Jace bent the shower head, shoved

Patricio's face in it, and filled his lungs up with water. And he enjoyed

every minute of it, didn't he, you sick son of a bitch? But the drowning would

have pointed back to him.

So he cut his throat.

Hide the cause of death.

Don't listen to him!

Kill him!

You killed Patricio.

Detective Ernesto Alomarez.

You work for Ocampo?

Complicates things, doesn't it? On the contrary, it's perfect.

His rogue cop screwed up Alex's bus and got you all killed in the process.

Ocampo won't believe it.

He isn't stupid.

Oh, yes he is.

How do you think I was so easily able to take Walker into my prison?

It was your idea?

Of course it was.

Giving Walker to Vargas allowed me to acquire Vargas' businesses.

Vargas only cared about killing Walker.

He was happy to make the trade with me. Now, I own it all.

And within the safety of this prison, I can run it without suspicion.

I'd put that down if I were you.

Chief, how long were you listening?

Been outside the door for the last five minutes, more than long enough.

Kai uncovered all the evidence in the prison computers, even the names of all

his accomplices and informants.

Including the mole coming from inside our own police department.

Nice work.

Yeah. I never really liked that one.

Don't listen to him! Kill him! Kill him now!

Do as I tell you!

I'm just going to...

No, it's not.

You didn't kill me. I didn't kill you.

I killed your reputation.

For a man like you, that's worse than death.

You're done.

Take him back to his cell.

Mikey. You lived up to your word and kept Alex safe. I told you we could.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. You were in on this too?

Of course. I suspected the warden was dirty from the beginning. And I couldn't

send you here without someone watching your back.

Now, uh, about that early release.

I'll talk to the governor.

Thank you for showing up for me.

Next time, just tell us what's going on.

All right?

I promise.

All right.

Get that checked out.

Don't.

I know you're just gonna try and say something funny, and it's just gonna be

annoying.

But I know all you really... want to say is thank

you so

you're welcome okay

I guess I'm sticking around.

What made you change your mind?

Just thought about what's really important to me, and it wasn't being in

Manila.

Are you happy with this decision?

I'm at peace with it.

Alex, they want you to sign a contract now so I can fax it back to them. All

right, well, give it to me.

Is that the sale of the gift shop?

It's a deed to the ranch in Texas.

I got a really great offer on it.

I'm glad you're staying, Kai.

We would have really missed you.

I would have missed you, too.

So you're not selling the gift shop?

These people need snow globes.

So, you're staying too?

Of course.

I got a reason to.

Hey, you two.

Come on. We gotta finally have that toast.

Thank you, kid.

Takai Mendoza, we're so glad you're back.

It's like you never left.

She did it.

Takai. Cheers.

Cheers.

You can't break up a good thing.

No. No.

She's not done, right?
