Male narrator: Previously on "New York undercover..."

To finally moving on with our lives.

Okay.

Hey, dad, I'm home.

- What? What? - G's here.

The job forces you to make choices.

Some of them you like, most of them you don't.

Williams: Sounds like you're talking from experience.

Another time, Williams.

Kaylen: Thank you very much, everybody.

[Knocking on door]

[Indistinct commentary on TV]

Mm! That was horrible.

[Indistinct commentary on TV]

- Hey, chief. - Malcolm.

- Hey. - Can I come in?

Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Come on in.

What are you doing here?

- Nice place. - Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

Have a seat. Can I get you anything?

- No. No, thanks. - No?

What is that? Chicken marsala?

Mm-hmm. Turkey dinner.

You like that stuff?

Chief, I really don't think you came all the way over here

just to discuss my diet. Tell me what's up.

- It's about Kaylen foster. - What about Kaylen?

He's taken up where his old man left off,

only he's, uh, he's moved his reign of terror

out of Harlem and into westbeth.

Come on. You... This can't be right.

Now, Kaylen does not have a bad bone in his body.

Maybe when you knew him that was so,

but you have to go back under.

No! You got to be kidding me!

Look, Malcolm, I know how you feel.

No, damn it, you don'tknow

how I feel, okay?

If you knew how I feel, you wouldn't

be asking me to do this.

Kaylen foster is out of control.

He's not just strong-arming people.

He's killing anybody who won't go along with him,

and he's built up a power base. And if we don't stop...

Do you know what you're asking me to do, chief?

You are asking me to go back into a world

that I almost did not get out of.

- Do you remember that? - I do remember.

But this time you won't have to stay under that long.

[Chuckles] That's what you said last time.

What happened then, huh?

A bunch of trigger-happy cops

who had only one thing on their minds.

Malcolm, this time you will call the shots.

Whatever happens is up to you.

Look, Malcolm, I can't change the past,

and I'm fully aware of the dangers

of sending you back under,

but I don't have any other choice.

Neither do you.

[Theme music]

Our target is a man by the name of Kaylen foster.

He heads a criminal empire that extorts money

from almost every major business in westbeth.

Our job is to put an end to that.

Wait a minute. Kaylen foster?

- As in "pops" foster? - His only son.

Well, I remember when the cops killed him.

- I'd just got on the force. - Why'd they take him out?

They took him out because he was out of control, that's why.

Just like his son is now.

I was on the undercover team

that took pops out three years ago.

That's why the chief wants me to go under again

'cause he knows that Kaylen will trust me.

Well, how'd you get out without them finding out

who you really were?

Chief staged an arrest,

pulled me out before everything went down.

So as far as they know, I've been in prison ever since.

That's a new one. How long were you under for?

Look, let's just stick to here and now, okay?

These people are very paranoid.

So I'm gonna go in deep cover,

which means I'm gonna have to have an outside contact.

Delaney, you're gonna act as my parole officer.

I will do all my communicating through you.

Okay.

Barker: Kaylen extorts money

in lots of ways, people.

Blackstar sanitation is his bread and butter.

So you're gonna start a rival company,

steal his contacts.

Now, when he comes after you,

we will bust him, and the da will take over from there.

Stone, you got the recorder?

All plastic parts so it can't be scanned.

Yeah, well, they won't be scanning me.

I'm family.

[Upbeat music]

[Door opens]

Take this for me, brother. Thank you.

Hello there, pretty lady. How are you today?

My, my, my...

Excuse me.

Uh, where you going?

- Pardon me? - I said, where are you going?

Oh, you-you did say that, didn't you?

Um, o-obviously, you're new here, huh?

Obviously, I asked you a question.

And I think you deserve an answer, don't you?

[Groans]

Shadow!

Well, well, well.

I don't believe it.

I was starting to think I would never see

your ugly mug again.

Ugly, my ass.

I'm just as pretty as I always was.

Gq!

[Laughing] What's up, Kay?

[Laughing] I missed you, man.

- I missed you. - I missed you, too, man.

Well, look at you. Looking good.

However, I-I see you're a little paranoid in your old age.

Yeah, well, after what happened to pop,

you never can be too careful. You know what I mean?

You know what, I never did get to tell you

how sorry I was about pop, little brother.

Yeah, well, there's plenty of time for that later, man.

Shadow, this is my man gq.

The man who taught me everything I know.

You treat him with the same respect you treat me, alright?

Yeah, right. Of course.

Yeah. Well, look at this place, my friend!

Barker: Moving up in the world, I see, huh?

Kaylen: Yeah. Business is good again.

Yeah.

I'm surprised you knew where to find me.

Come on, man, you gotta be kidding.

All I gotta do, pick up some local paper.

You always in there getting some damn award or another.

Pop would've been real proud of you there, Kay.

Yeah, maybe. Prison treat you alright?

I'm straight, if that's what you saying.

[Laughing] Well, I'm glad to hear that.

And Shelly will be, too.

Look, man, why don't you come and take a ride with me?

We got a lot of stuff to talk about.

Yeah. Yes, I guess we do, do we?

The lieutenant spent an entire year undercover.

Did he really? No wonder he said he was like family to them.

Must be so hard going in. I hope he knows what he's doing.

Yeah, me, too.

So when do you think we'll know which one of the

businesses to target?

As soon as he leaks it to me.

Speaking of which, I should go.

Wait a minute. Guys, guys, what is this?

Why do I get stuck driving the trash truck?

What happened to stone?

Well, stone is setting up

shop with me.

Speaking of you and me...

- Jc... - Please. I have an idea...

- I wanna share with you. - Jc...

Just hear me out, okay?

Do you think that we can go back

to the way we were when we were just friends?

Just pretend

like nothing ever happened.

No, we can't pretend nothing ever happened.

Yeah, I know. You're right.

We didn't do anything wrong.

- Right? - Right.

So why don't we just stop trying to figure this out?

The only thing we're doing is complicating things.

The reality is, you are one of my best friends

and I don't wanna lose a friendship over...

Neither do I.

See?

Kaylen: Three years in prison, man? It couldn't have been easy.

Hey, but let me ask you something, how come every time

I came to visit you, they wouldn't let me up?

- What was up with that? - I don't know, man.

I was probably in solitary confinement.

I wasn't exactly the model inmate, you know?

I gave them hell. Gave them chumps hell, man.

Then why'd they let you out so early?

Too many brothers, not enough cells.

- Hm. - Hey.

What happened over there?

You know how it is.

No, I don't.

This fool wouldn't go along with the program, man.

- Program, huh? - Mm-hmm.

Now, tell me, how, how exactly do you get them

to getwith the program?

Well, it helps if you're part of the

urban redevelopment commission.

You know what I mean?

Hey, man, if they want the funds,

they gotta give me my sugar first.

Then I own their asses.

Why are you looking at me like that? What?

I'm not looking any particular way.

But I don't know, Kay, burning down people's businesses, man?

Extortion...

You just wasn't always into that, man.

Hey, man, listen, I keep the competition out,

I offer protection, the neighborhoods

are safer. Just like what pops used to do.

No. See, you forget who you're talking to.

I know. I know exactlywhat pops did, and that ain't it.

Yeah, well, you've been gone a long time, man.

Things have changed.

Things has definitely changed.

Kaylen: He was dead before he even hit the ground.

They wouldn't even let me go over to him. They didn't care.

I wish I was there, man.

Well...

It's just as well you weren't.

It's the only good thing about you getting arrested.

- Shelly did good, though. - Yeah?

She put together a real nice service for him.

There were over 300 people there.

Barker: I'm not surprised.

Freakin' cops...

Wanted him to clean up the neighborhood.

They got a little piece of the action for themselves.

That's why they killed him, you know?

I mean, they could have just arrested him,

but they didn't want anybody to find out.

They didn't have to kill him.

No...

They didn't.

[Intense music]

[Upbeat music]

Names of three holdouts are on that tape.

So once stone and moreno are done with it,

make sure the da gets it.

And let me know when Williams is in position

so I can put Kaylen on his trail.

- I will. - Okay.

So you doing alright?

- I'm fine. Why? - Just asking.

Considering you were under a year before.

It's irrelevant, detective.

Barker: You just do your job. - I am, lieutenant.

Just keeping tabs on you is part of it,

especially when you're in this deep.

Then you got nothing to worry about.

I already got a garbage guy. Why the hell do I need you?

How's 85 a week sound for four pickups?

[Laughing] Plus recycling?

- Part of the deal. - What's the catch?

Catch is you have to drop your old garbage guy,

so we can start hauling right away.

Well, that's not gonna be easy with those mooks.

You guys sure you know what you're doing,

coming into westbeth?

Believe me, Mr. Benton, we know

exactly what we're doing.

Look, if security's a problem,

we can handle that, too.

I thought I was doing the right thing, Shelly. I...

[Trash truck whirring]

Yo, my man!

Yo, my man.

- Yo, what's up? - Not much, baby. Not much.

- Ah! - Hey!

[Grunting]

Hey, hey, hey. Hold up.

- Uh! Ah! - Hey, wait a minute, man!

- What's the matter with you? - I said hold up!

Look, man, I don't care who you are.

Hey, let's get him outta here. Get him back to the club.

- Let's go, man! - Come on. Come on.

[Groaning]

- Sit him down. - Ah!

Shadow, what the hell are you doing?

- Why would you bring him here? - You ask your man.

We brought him here because he interrupted us doing our job.

Your job? What the hell is he talking about, Kay?

We never take no brother out for no reason.

This man is encroaching! He's working on our territory!

The man is hired to do a job, Kay.

He is not the problem!

You take this man out, you won't even know who he works for.

Hey, come on, man. I'm just trying to do my job.

Why y'all beat on me, man?

- Hey, my man, you wanna live? - Yeah, I wanna live.

Alright. Answer this question. Who pay your bills?

Uh, uh, aandamp;K, uh, sanitation.

- I never heard of them. - That's 'cause they new.

They over on, uh, o... on Hudson street.

There you go. Alright?

Now you know who to go after.

Take out the competition, end the problem.

Shadow: No, we take out Benton, the owner of the diner,

and we punish him for hiring the competition.

- That's how we do things arou... - No, no, I don't want no part...

And that's the way we're gonna continue to do things

around here, it sends a message to the other holdouts

not to mess with us.

Listen, Kay, now what do you

want us to do with him?

Oh, come on. What's this about?

Williams: Why y'all got to do this?

Carlos, trick... uh...

- Whoa! - Ha-ha!

Hey, hey, hey, it's alright.

Put those things away. It's cool.

I said I wanna get out of here, right?

Did you see the way he just took your man out like that?

That was a good... This guy's got skills, man.

He just took your boy out like that.

Hey, I tell you what, bro.

- You oughta come work for us. - Gq?

Hey, what would you prefer he do, Kay, huh?

Take your boy out? We need some beef, man.

Look at what we got. Shadow and his little dwarves.

My man, give me the gun.

You want a job, brother?

Give up the gun.

There you go.

Good move.

Shadow.

Alright, we'll see how he works out.

Get him a suit.

You better get your ass down to your fiancee

before she smokes us both.

I'm going.

Congratulations, brah.

I thought the plan was for barker to lead them to us.

Yeah, it was, but obviously, Kaylen had other ideas.

Yo, we can't let innocent people like Mr. Benton get hurt.

You gotta find a way to refocus Kaylen's attention.

Make him come after us.

Well, I meet the lieutenant in an hour,

so I'll coordinate it with him.

Can I ask a question?

Why is it that none of us knew

that barker was engaged?

- Wait a minute. What? Williams: Apparently..

That was part of his deep cover.

Isn't that right, chief?

- I thought he'd broken it off. - He was engaged before?

That was not in the case file.

Kaylen's sister Shelly,

she liked him, and we took advantage of it.

Yeah, but how'd they get all the way to engaged?

Case wasn't going anywhere. We had to get him in deeper.

The only way that we could do that was to

get him to be part of the family.

That's, uh, pretty deep, alright.

Yeah, that's a little too deep.

Is that the reason you had to pull him out?

One of them.

And you put him back in anyway?

Weren't you afraid it was gonna happen again?

Look, I said "I thought he had broken it off."

Now, the sooner we get Kaylen,

the sooner you get your lieutenant back.

Problem solved. Get to work.

Plan is for Alec and moreno to drive by the club

and take a shot at Kaylen, but it's gotta be tonight.

Okay, that's fine. And I don't think that'd be a problem.

Alright. We need to know exactly what time.

Tell them after 10:00, somewhere around the front door.

Okay.

What about Shelly?

- What about Shelly? - Is she gonna be a problem?

- We're done. - No, lieutenant. I think...

It's a fair question considering what happened before.

You don't even know what happened before.

- Do you understand me, Delaney? - I...

No, no. I... I'll tell you what you do.

You concentrate on doing your own damn job

instead of trying to create something that doesn't exist.

That's what you do. Am I making myself clear to you?

We're clear.

Good.

[Siren wailing]

Alright. Again...

We move when the store is open before the customers show.

Hit 'em all at one time. Do it in teams.

Jc, what are the businesses you said you picked up for?

Uh, it's an office building down on, uh, Mercer street.

We've got, uh, Tony's cafe.

We got an art studio and a couple of stores.

That's every one of the holdouts. How'd they know?

'Cause they smart. That's how they know.

Barker: We gotta be hitting on them next.

Just one man's opinion.

Alright, no innocent people killed, alright?

Just the owners. Jc, you and shadow, you ride together.

Man on intercom: Kaylen. - Yeah?

Man on intercom: Sorry, Kaylen. Gq, Shelly's looking for you.

- She's here? Now? - Yeah.

Alright, um, tell her I'll be right there.

Where you going?

I am going to spend some time with my woman

if that's alright with you.

Can't she wait?

Hell, no, she can't.

Um, look, guys, don't worry, okay?

- I'll be back in time. - What?

[Indistinct chatter]

Barker: Excuse me. Shelly.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm still waiting for you to answer my question.

Um, not here, okay? Come on. Let's go.

[Siren wailing]

Stone: There's barker.

What's going on, Gregory?

- Something's the matter. - Oh, no, nothing's the matter.

- We just need to go, okay? - It's Kaylen, isn't it?

- What did he do now? - Look, Shelly.

Can we talk about this someplace else?

No, don't play me for a fool.

Don't you think I know what goes on

in there, where he gets the money?

He has changed ever since pop died, ever since you left.

- Shelly, can we go? - No, talk to him.

You could help him. I know you could.

He listens to you.

Please. I don't wanna lose him, too.

Don't... Don't lay that on me, alright?

It's... it's really not fair.

Well, everything in life isn't fair, is it?

Alright.

I'll talk to him.

Thank you.

[Instrumental music]

- Huh. - Wow! Whoa.

Let's go home.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Music continues]

[Door opens]

[Gun cocks]

[Music continues]

[Engine revving]

- Kaylen! Ah! - What?

Williams: Look out! Kaylen: What?

[Instrumental music]

Williams: Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down!

[Tires screeching]

[Indistinct chatter]

- What's going on? Shadow: Move it!

You alright, Kay?

I'm fine, thanks to jc here.

I'm just glad I saw that, man.

Yeah, I'm glad you saw him, too, you're very perceptive,

though, you know? It's like you got esp.

Hey, yo, why you in my face, man?

I just saved your life. You remember that.

What the hell is wrong with him?

Nothing. He gets paid to be suspicious.

Did you get a good look at him?

Yeah, I did. And you know what?

I know, this sounds crazy,

but I swear they looked like them folks from aandamp;K sanitation.

What? You hear this? They trying to take meout.

You see, gq was right. We should've gone after them.

Yeah, well, we going to now. I'm gonna see to that personally.

Shadow, I want you to go over to aandamp;K, stake 'em out, see how

best to hit 'em. We're gonna make a move tomorrow night.

- Alright? - You got it.

Listen, man, I'm not gonna forget what you just did for me.

There's gonna be like a force field around you.

Nobody's ever gonna be able to touch you. You hear me?

- Glad to know that. - Thank you.

[Siren wailing]

I love you.

[Sighs]

See you soon.

[Door shuts]

Must be nice and warm up in there, huh?

I had a little problem getting away.

I noticed.

Now, is there a reason why you didn't tell us about her

or did that just slip your mind?

Well, it wasn't pertinent to the case file.

Funny, looks pertinent to me.

So you're questioning my objectivity?

What I'm questioning, lieutenant, is why would you

run out with her right before a planned attack?

Didn't you think that looked just a little bit odd?

Look, Shelly is innocent in all of this, okay?

I didn't want her around any stray bullets.

- It's just that simple. - Yeah, well, you know...

Your boy shadow doesn't think it's that simple.

You know, I don't give a damn about shadow.

He ain't nothing but a punk, and I will handle him.

Now, are we done with the third degree?

[Sighs] For now.

Good.

Alright, tell Delaney I will meet her

at the same time, same place.

I'll find out the what and where of Kaylen's attack

and I'll fill her in. Or do you have a problem with that, too?

Look, I just wanna make sure that we're all on the same page.

Do you have a problem with that?

You worry about your end.

I know what I'm doing.

Kaylen: Shadow?

What are you doing?

- Thinking. - Thinking about what?

The cops had infiltrated pops for over a year

before they made their move.

- Right? - Right.

Well, where was gq when all this went down?

He was in prison. He got popped the week before.

I don't know. Th... that's a big coincidence.

What do you mean "big coincidence?"

I'm just seeing the parallels, Kaylen, that's all.

I mean, you at the height of your power, like pops was,

then lo and behold, here comes gq.

Only, when the shooting starts, he disappears.

Shadow, gq went to prison! Or did you forget that?

I didn't forget about that, but you never saw him there!

Did you? By your own admission.

Look, what are you telling me?

That gq's trying to set me up? That he set up pops?

That gq's a cop? What are you saying?

What I'm saying is, you pay me to watch your back,

and that's all I'm trying to do.

Well, look, you don't know gq, alright?

You don't know him at all, before gq was sent away,

he tried to warn pops. He told him to lay low.

He thought the man was gonna making a move.

- You understand that? - Yes, I do understand it.

Now, does that sound like somebody

you need to protect me from?

- I don't know. - Gq is family, man, family.

- You understand that? - Okay.

Yo, yo, people! Check it out.

Our drive-by worked beautifully.

Kaylen's scared. He's running like a little bitch.

But he will come after y'all.

Okay. When?

I'm not sure. We're gonna have a meeting tonight.

- I'll find out. - How's the lieutenant?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

It means I don't know, stone.

I mean, you guys know him better than me,

but he's not acting like himself.

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing.

What, you think he's in trouble?

Well, come on give the guy some credit.

Stone, you are not seeing him in Kaylen's world.

And I know they're supposed to be cool.

I know he's undercover, but it's just not right.

Not only that, him and that girl, Shelly,

it seems like they picked up right where they left off.

Right, which is the reason they pulled him last time.

So what should we do, call the chief?

No, I don't think so. If it's cool with y'all...

I think that you're gonna meet him tonight,

right, and find out Kaylen's plan, right?

I think we should wait until then.

Stone: Are you listening to yourselves, huh?

'Cause this is the lieutenant we're talking about.

Trust me, he's fine.

You're on your own with that one.

To know that our combined private

and public efforts are not wasted,

our neighborhood redevelopment projects must continue.

And with this check

for the restoration of our city's parks,

we take one more noble step in that direction.

Councilman, as chairman of the CDC,

I present this check to you.

[Applause]

That was one hell of a speech, eh?

Boy ought to run for office.

I told you you were a good influence on him.

Shelly, come on, baby, we had

this conversation already, alright?

Kay goes his own way. I don't have a hold on him anymore.

Why not? You still have one on me.

Come on, just talk to him.

Tell you what, if I talk to him, what do I get out of it, huh?

Maybe, maybe we can make a little deal.

- Get your hands off my sister. - Oh, don't you listen to him.

Hey, I ain't listened to this knucklehead

all these years, I ain't gonna start now.

[Laughing]

Will you give us a minute, sis?

Sure.

Bye.

[Laughing]

You two seem to be getting pretty tight.

- How's everything going? - Uh...

You know it ain't none of your damn business.

You know that, don't you?

I'll take that as a yes.

So you heard about what happened last night, right?

Yeah, I heard.

Well, we're gonna meet tonight at 9:00

to plan our move on the aandamp;K, just like you suggested.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Just thinking.

I guess seeing you back there

doing good,

well, it reminds me of how you used to be

before pop died.

All the good things you used to do.

I don't understand what happened to you, little brother.

You know, the men aren't gonna let you get away forever.

You know that, don't you?

I was just wondering

if maybe you should retire, man, before it's too late.

You know, that's funny,

'cause I was just telling shadow how you gave

that exact same speech to pops before he died,

and now, here you are, giving it to me.

I guess pops should have listened to you.

Yeah.

It's too bad.

Moreno, it's me.

Did the lieutenant tell you about Kaylen's plan?

- No, he never showed. - What?

He was supposed to be there an hour ago.

Delaney: Yeah. - What's going on?

I don't know what happened. Do you think I should wait?

Um, no, no. Better if you come over here.

We might need the help if Kaylen moves on us.

Alright. I'm on my way.

Lieutenant miss his contact? What's that mean?

I don't know. I think he's in trouble.

Gregory. What's going on?

- Where are you going? - Out.

With Kaylen?

This is your idea of helping set him straight?

You don't know what's going on, Shelly, okay?

- So just leave it be. - "Leave it be?"

You're about to go out there and get yourself in trouble,

and you expect me to just leave it be.

No, damn it, what I'm about to do, Shelly,

is go out there and keep Kaylen's ass outof trouble.

- Alright? - Oh, with that?

Look, you don't understand.

I don't have time to explain it to you, okay?

No, it's not okay! I almost lost you once, Gregory.

If you go back to prison, I might never see you again.

If I had not goneto prison,

maybe pop would not have been shot

and maybe Kaylen wouldn't be in the mess that he's in right now.

You are not responsible for him!

I know what I'm doing.

Gregory!

[Door opens]

[Door shuts]

[William sighs]

- Where you been? - None of your damn business.

We gonna do this or what?

Alright, so I figure they're expecting us.

So I'd like to make the hit short and sweet. You understand?

Yo, I'm ready. When are we gonna make this move?

Sunrise. Shadow, you make the call?

Yeah. Cops will be patrolling the other side of the precinct.

Should give us five or six minutes.

Not bad. I'm impressed.

Maybe you are,

and maybe you aren't.

Anyway gq and I'll take ninth.

Shadow, you and jc take tenth.

Everyone else, follow and cover.

Alright. So what we gonna do, huh?

Like, a little drive-by?

You know what? You ask a whole lot of damn questions, son.

Hey, what the hell is your problem, brah?

Look, I ain't never do nothing like this before.

You my problem, brother.

You.

And exactly who the hell you really are.

Gq, what the hell are you doing?

I... I don't know. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid.

I've been wondering how this man

just happened to come into our lives all of a sudden.

[Chuckles] Come on now.

Hey, I'm a good-luck baby. Yeah?

Barker: And how you just happened to be working

for the company we about to go after.

I don't know. Do you?

Maybe it's just some major-ass coincidence

or maybe, just maybe,

all these specific questions you're asking,

maybe it's just some kind of personality quirk or...

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, come on now. Hey, what the hell is this?

Oh, so y'all trying to set me up, is that it?

Or maybe you a cop.

What the hell are you trying to do? Well, I ain't goin'...

[Groans]

[Gunshots]

Damn it! Come on! Let's get him, baby! Let's go!

He got away.

Damn it! How the hell were we infiltrated?

That's a very good question, Kaylen.

That's a verygood question!

I don't know, but what I do know is you the one

that brought the damn cop in here in the first place!

Damn straight, I did, and it was also me

that busted his ass and saved ours.

Don't ever walk in my face! Now, do you understand me?

Gq, cut it out! Gq!

Ever! I will bust your head.

Gq, cut it out! We need to focus!

It ain't over yet.

You know what, you want some of me...

Look, look, look, look, look, we've gotta focus!

Let me tell you something, Kay,

those cops were not working alone

and they weren't working alone last time, either.

- You mean those aandamp;K guys? - They are undercover, baby!

Which means it was a trap! They set you up!

What are you telling me, that they wanted us to make a move...

Yes, so they could catch you in the act! You damn straight!

You just got a reprieve.

You gotta pack it up

and straighten it out, okay, just like I told you.

What? What you mean "straighten it out?"

You crazy? Ain't no straightening out!

No, they got the tape already!

Ain't no telling what else they got.

You know what, if they had more than the damn tape,

they would've busted us by now.

Look, I'm not gonna steer you wrong, brother.

If you play it cool, cops can't touch you, Kay.

- You don't know that! - You don't know what I know.

Kay, one thing you do know is

we got to do something. Right?

You can't sit here and do nothing!

Oh, we're gonna do something. We're gonna do the hit.

- Just like we planned. - What?

Look, when that cop goes down there and tells them what

went on down here, they're gonna know they've been exposed.

They're not gonna expect us to come running after them.

No, no, Kay, you can't move on the cops.

They made a move on my father, didn't they?

Kay, Kay, come on, come on. Come on, baby.

- You're not thinking straight. - No.

Kay, listen to me.

You're not thinking straight.

If you do that, they will then know it was you.

Gq, I want them to know it was me.

They just won't be able to proveanything.

Come on, shadow, let's go.

Kay. Kay!

Come on now.

Look, I'm begging you now, brother.

Please.

Please don't do it.

Barker did what?

He blew my cover.

And I'm lucky I even got out of there alive.

Are you sure that wasn't part of his plan?

Of course I'm sure!

He never said anything to me about this.

Well, then why did he do it?

That's what I'm trying to figure out!

Now the only thing I can think of is

maybe he was trying to protect Kaylen

from going after stone and moreno.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're saying he's

trying to blow the operation?

No, what I'm saying is your boy barker

is in too deep,

same way he was three years ago.

He's right, Alec. And we saw this coming, too.

And the question is, what should we do now?

It's over. I mean, we're never gonna get Kaylen foster now.

Moreno, you and stone go back to the cover office, shut it down.

But what about the lieutenant?

Jc, you gotta go in after him, and you gotta get him out fast.

He's in so deep, maybe he doesn't wanna come out.

No, no, no. You go bring him out!

[Dramatic music]

- Jc? - Hey, Shelly, is gq here?

- No, he's not. Excuse me? - Excuse me.

Listen, she's with me. We need to find him.

Do you have any idea where he is? He might be in trouble.

I don't know.

You're a cop?

Yes, I'm a cop, and so is gq.

His real name is lieutenant Malcolm barker.

- And we work for him. - Yeah, right.

Delaney: You think it's a coincidence he's back

in your life right now?

He's here to help us get to your brother.

Think about it, just like he showed up

three years ago to help your father

and then somehow conveniently got arrested?

And left you with that ring on your finger?

- You're lying. - Shelly...

I'm not here to try to shock you.

And I don't wanna hurt you, but we need to find him

before Kaylen finds out he's a cop, too.

[Dramatic music]

Well, what do you mean they're still coming?

No, they're not at the club

and barker would come back to Shelly's if the hit was off.

[Tires screeching]

What's the matter?

[Tires screeching]

[Guns cocking]

Get down!

[Gunshots]

Shadow, get the bomb ready!

[Gunshots]

Cover shadow. Cover him!

Reload!

Kaylen: Shadow, blow them up!

[Groans]

Drop it! Don't move!

Drop it, Kaylen. You're under arrest.

Gq?

My name is barker.

Lieutenant barker.

But that can't be.

That's impossible.

Pops loved you like a son, man.

I know he did.

That's why I tried to save him.

And I tried to save you, too, Kaylen.

You wouldn't listen, man.

I tried to tell you, but you just wouldn't listen.

You didn't try to save pops.

You're one of the ones who killed him.

What happened to pops was wrong, okay?

We can't change that now, Kaylen,

and that doesn't make what you did right.

And that'swhat this is about.

[Siren wailing]

I'm gonna ask you...

One more time...

[Sirens wailing]

Drop your weapon...

Now.

[Sirens wailing]

This doesn't make what you're doing right, either, brother.

[Breathing heavily]

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Alright, chief. Yeah.

I'll be there.

How you holding up, lieutenant?

Well, I've been better.

Lieutenant, we're done. Csu's gonna take over from here.

So looks like, uh, shadow's gonna pull through,

for what it's worth.

It's worth something now.

Listen, um, I'm not proud of what happened...

But it happened.

And I'm gonna have to deal with it.

- Don't worry about it. - It's real easy for you to say.

- Stone. - No, you're right, Williams.

I broke my own cardinal rule, I allowed

my personal emotions

to cloud my judgment and risk this op.

In our opinion, chief should never have

put you under in the first place.

Well, look, at least it all worked out, right?

Yeah.

But the ends don't justify the means, moreno.

I made a mistake and I'm gonna have to pay for it.

Delaney: Lieutenant...

[Sighs]

I guess I should have believed your dear John letter, huh?

- Look, Shelly, I can explain... - Was it all a lie?

Did you ever really love me?

[Instrumental music]

Yes.

I did.

[Sniffles]

[Sniffles] Thanks.
