00:00:00Carlson.
00:00:13Hello, Sergio.
00:00:18I'm so glad you can.
00:00:22I heard about Clarissa.
00:00:25Please, my friend.
00:00:28Before we begin.
00:00:31I thought we trusted each other.
00:00:34I always knew the rules, my friend.
00:00:38It's a mistake.
00:00:43How does she die?
00:00:45What would you like?
00:00:47A beer. A good one, please.
00:00:50You got it, darling.
00:01:00It's for your next door again.
00:01:10Not this shit again.
00:01:12After such success with the Amante job, you cannot be surprised that the Patron owns more.
00:01:18Your enemies were terrified. Embrace your future.
00:01:23I kill clean.
00:01:25They don't even know they're dead.
00:01:27I don't kill like this.
00:01:29The Patron no longer wants death. He wants horror.
00:01:31Sergio, I won't do it.
00:01:37The Patron will be very disappointed in you.
00:01:40You wanted to know about Clarissa.
00:01:55The Patron had Lance deliver on her fear.
00:01:57Does this bother you?
00:01:59Does this bother you?
00:02:03Is the Patron listening right now?
00:02:05I imagine he'd want to hear me die after drinking that shit.
00:02:09He shouldn't have killed her.
00:02:18My apologies, my friend, but you may either drink your beer.
00:02:23Or die.
00:02:25Or you're all gone.
00:02:29No.
00:02:30Hello, Patron.
00:02:45You should not have tortured her.
00:02:49Now we'll both have to live with the consequences.
00:03:01I'm sorry, thank you.
00:03:07Leave me alone.
00:03:09I liked it.
00:03:11I was so sorry.
00:03:13My heart has died, too.
00:03:15But no one doesn't get hurt yet.
00:03:17You're very beautiful.
00:03:19I'm sorry.
00:03:21I'm sorry.
00:03:23I'm sorry.
00:03:25I'm sorry.
00:03:27Let's go.
00:03:57Let's go.
00:04:27Let's go.
00:04:57Let's go.
00:05:26You there, Alice?
00:05:35I'm here, Paul, and it's 5.05 in the afternoon, which means I am off-duty.
00:05:44Yeah, but I got this call about some disturbance at Hatchery Lake.
00:05:48Paul, I'm off. Have Dave do it.
00:05:51Dave is working an accident up on 101, so you're up.
00:05:55Okay. Give me the address.
00:05:59But you can put me on a 14910, 142, 243.
00:06:07I'm off-duty.
00:06:46Hey, John. How's life?
00:06:53Where have you been, Mom?
00:06:56Dad said you had news for me.
00:07:00Listen, I'm gonna have to call you later. Sorry.
00:07:03Something going on between you and Dad.
00:07:16I'll see you later.
00:07:25Paul, I'm at the driveway. Going to check things out.
00:07:4710-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:07:5512-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:08:2512-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:08:5512-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:08:5912-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:09:0712-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:09:1113-4, Alice. Call if you find anything.
00:09:29I don't know.
00:09:59I don't know.
00:10:29I don't know.
00:10:59I don't know.
00:11:29I don't know.
00:11:41Alice, got you.
00:11:44Want to get me a report?
00:11:48Alice, you okay out there?
00:11:49Come on, Alice.
00:11:56Answer the radio.
00:11:56My name is Carson Empman.
00:12:11By now you will have heard of me and the things I've done.
00:12:16And if you have found this letter, then I have died a contented man.
00:12:21I am being hunted by the Chutro drug cartel.
00:12:27If their assassins find me alive, they will bring something far worse than death.
00:12:32They will bring the serum.
00:12:34I have at most three days to take my revenge.
00:12:38Then I will end my life on my terms.
00:12:44For what I let happen to Clarissa, I deserve nothing less.
00:13:04You there, Paul?
00:13:11Here, Alice.
00:13:12Why weren't you answering?
00:13:14Who was it that gave you the tip on this place?
00:13:17They wouldn't give me his name.
00:13:19But he had a Spanish accent, not from around here.
00:13:22Seemed convinced of some foul play out there.
00:13:26Do me a favor.
00:13:27Call a man named Bob Sistek.
00:13:29He's with the FBI.
00:13:30Have him run a trace on the tip we got on this place.
00:13:33The FBI?
00:13:35Jesus, who do you think you found?
00:13:38For my entire career with the cartel, I was a ghost.
00:13:42No one had seen my face.
00:13:44To find my job, I just needed four words.
00:13:47The key.
00:13:49It was untraceable.
00:13:51But then came the offer that ruined everything.
00:13:55They wanted to meet.
00:13:59Do I wish now I had turned around never to work for the cartel again?
00:14:04Never to have met Clarissa?
00:14:08No.
00:14:10I'd do it all again.
00:14:25Good day, sir.
00:14:30You must be Carson, yes?
00:14:33Welcome to Aquilamonte.
00:14:34I believe it's the most beautiful winery outside of Spain.
00:14:38I am Sergio, the winemaker.
00:14:40I am very honored to finally meet you, my friend.
00:14:42You paid a lot of money for the chance.
00:14:45I hope it's worth it.
00:14:47Our new patron certainly thinks so.
00:14:49He has much faith in your talents.
00:14:51New patron.
00:14:53You must learn to keep up with current events, compadre.
00:14:58Come, let us meet your new family.
00:14:59Those you must trust now and forevermore.
00:15:01Well, as long as that means until this job is through, we see eye to eye.
00:15:10It's your new family.
00:15:27To the left, we have Anton.
00:15:29On your right is Lance.
00:15:31And the beautiful lady in front is Clarissa.
00:15:37Please, call me doctor.
00:15:40Doctor of what, exactly?
00:15:43Yes, yes, yes!
00:15:45You are here for your distinct abilities and to focus solely on the task at hand.
00:15:51As ordered by the patron himself, you are to share nothing about yourself or your past with the others.
00:15:57Unless one is to guess correctly, of course.
00:16:01You see, I have a particular talent.
00:16:04Sort of a sixth sense.
00:16:05I seem to be able to guess people's worst fears.
00:16:07Take Anton, for example.
00:16:10He seems to have a particular aversion to being burned alive.
00:16:14Shut your goddamn mouth.
00:16:16It's roasted, actually.
00:16:18Stuffed within a cowhide.
00:16:20Strung over a smoldering fire.
00:16:22Suffocating while his flesh melts.
00:16:24Knowing full well that only the pain will kill him.
00:16:27Say another word and you die.
00:16:32And that word would be to the patron, wouldn't it?
00:16:36Boys.
00:16:38Let's get to work.
00:16:41Excellent idea.
00:16:42Let's get started.
00:16:44Would you all follow me, please?
00:16:45Washington Herald.
00:17:11Uh, hello, ma'am.
00:17:13I'm calling for Wendy Ludlow.
00:17:16I have a story for her.
00:17:18One moment, please.
00:17:19Thank you, ma'am.
00:17:23This is Wendy Ludlow.
00:17:24Who is this?
00:17:26Ms. Ludlow.
00:17:28I'm calling to tell you the whereabouts of Senator Enrique Parker's son, Jared.
00:17:33He disappeared on September 20th, 2011.
00:17:36Yeah, and that case has been closed for three years.
00:17:40You can find him 50 meters north of the 17th Green at Rock Creek Golf Course.
00:17:47Bring the police and an excavation unit.
00:17:51If I see the story in tomorrow's online edition, I will give you the story of your career.
00:17:56Buddy, this would be the story of my career if you weren't full of shit.
00:18:01It might be time to raise your standards.
00:18:03I'll call you at 5 p.m. tomorrow, your time.
00:18:06Wear running shoes.
00:18:07But how do I know this isn't a prank?
00:18:10San Antonio Post.
00:18:15Mitch for Plank, please.
00:18:25Alice?
00:18:27Yeah?
00:18:28Got a hold of your friend, Sistek.
00:18:32You didn't tell me he's the guy who hired you.
00:18:35Yeah, well, he is.
00:18:37So did he help you?
00:18:39He said the call came from a switchboard station in Vegas.
00:18:43They can't trace it beyond that.
00:18:44He was also very interested in why you were asking and wants you to call him back.
00:18:48Okay, will do.
00:18:55So who owns this cabin?
00:18:58I looked that up.
00:18:59Aaron Mikowicz.
00:19:01All paid for.
00:19:03Taxes are up to date.
00:19:05Mind tracking him down?
00:19:07Sure thing.
00:19:07Family, our challenge is a simple one.
00:19:17Mayor Morgan Amante will soon be taking drastic measures against the cartel.
00:19:23Beginning with the press conference a week from Tuesday.
00:19:26Now, leveraging your unique talents, we will intercept him as he emerges from City Hall on his way to the event.
00:19:34Now, the patron wants to make it very clear that a simple abduction is not the desired option.
00:19:41Okay.
00:19:42So we'll snipe a bullet to the head, then we go have drinks.
00:19:44So, the patron wishes to use this opportunity to test out the finest innovation by the cartel in its entire history.
00:19:59Team, I present to you the serum.
00:20:04Lance here has developed this from very particular toxins from the world's most notorious yellow fish and spiders.
00:20:11Excuse me.
00:20:12What does it do?
00:20:14The question is, what does it allow?
00:20:18Unlike conventional paralytic elements, this formula leaves the sympathetic nervous system unaffected.
00:20:25What the hell is he talking about?
00:20:26Your heart, lungs, anything automatic.
00:20:30Leaving the patient fully paralyzed yet entirely sensory capable.
00:20:34I can even target a particular vertebrae and you can still talk.
00:20:38I will scream if needed.
00:20:40What's the point?
00:20:45The effect is what matters.
00:20:48The patron wishes to send a match as one that cannot be ignored.
00:20:53Hey Alice, that Venn you gave me is from a truck in California that was reported missing two weeks ago.
00:21:17You dig out Mr. Mikowicz?
00:21:21Nope.
00:21:22No one has heard from him in two years.
00:21:24He was last seen driving a shipment of wine into Canada.
00:21:27Then he just disappeared.
00:21:30Interesting.
00:21:30So can you tell me what you found out there?
00:21:34Nothing.
00:21:35I guess I just needed some time to think about a San Francisco job.
00:21:44Yeah.
00:21:46And about leaving us behind.
00:21:49If I could do their level of narco work here, I would.
00:21:53But I can't.
00:21:55And I need it.
00:21:57But John needs you.
00:21:59Is taking off to fight drug cartels really more important?
00:22:05Well...
00:22:05Whatever you're doing, our anonymous tip called back asking about your progress.
00:22:12What did you say?
00:22:13I said we don't comment on open investigations.
00:22:17And he got pretty angry at that.
00:22:19How do you want me to deal with him?
00:22:22Send him to me next time.
00:22:43Hello, Carson Empman.
00:22:53How do you know my name?
00:22:55I know everything about this team.
00:23:00Names.
00:23:01History.
00:23:02Sexual preferences.
00:23:03Everything.
00:23:04I don't know much about this new Patron, but this seems like a good way to get on his bad side.
00:23:08Aren't you even curious?
00:23:15No.
00:23:17Hmm.
00:23:21Anton Delacroix has beheaded over 200 individuals.
00:23:26He also feels no pain, which means he can take a substantial beating.
00:23:32Comes in handy.
00:23:33Lance Viteros.
00:23:39The doctor.
00:23:41Preeminent monster in the cartel, second only to the new Patron.
00:23:46He likes to say he earned his doctorate by studying Nazi experimentation on the Jews.
00:23:52And then there's you.
00:23:57Carson Empman.
00:23:59The ghost.
00:24:01Seven years contracting for the cartel.
00:24:04And yet not a single body found.
00:24:16What else do you know about me?
00:24:20Enough.
00:24:22What else do you know about me?
00:24:23What else do you know about me?
00:24:24What else do you know about me?
00:24:25What else do you know about me?

00:24:38What else do you know about me?
00:24:39What else do you know about me?
00:24:40What else do you know about me?
00:24:41What else do you know about me?
00:24:42What else do you know about me?
00:24:43What else do you know about me?
00:24:44You left me to die.

00:27:12Just give us time to chat.
00:27:14Here's the game you and I will play.
00:27:16I'll do something for you, and you do something for me.
00:27:18I gave you a body, so in exchange,
00:27:20you will add a set of information on the web article
00:27:23that first published Parker's disappearance.
00:27:26Strange request.
00:27:28Yeah, maybe to you.
00:27:30Are you ready? Write this down.
00:27:33Came in America's Bank, Georgetown.
00:27:36Hydric.
00:27:38Lance Fideros.
00:27:40One, two, eight, five, four, one, nine, six.
00:27:46Got it.
00:27:54You likely know I'm working with other reporters.
00:27:58You are all in a competition.
00:27:59Whoever serves me best gets the grand prize.
00:28:05If you fail, I will replace you.
00:28:07If you betray me, I pay you a visit,
00:28:11and someone finds your body in six years.
00:28:14Don't try and sweet-talk me.
00:28:17What's the prize?
00:28:18Has anyone found who killed Sacramento Mayor Morgan Amonti?
00:28:23You were a part of that?
00:28:25You could identify the killers?
00:28:28Nice chatting with you, Wendy.
00:28:29Alice, you've got it.
00:28:57Alice you've got to tell me what's going on. Why haven't you told John about San
00:29:04Francisco? I'm sure he could tell you why there's no point to it.
00:29:12God damn it Paul he's not changing my mind. I know you want revenge for what
00:29:18happened to him but... But what? He sold drugs for Chutro and he got caught. It was
00:29:25his choice not to take the plea deal. Yeah but they got to him. They threatened
00:29:31him and now he's hard. He's lost. It ruined him Paul. That's why he needs you. So talk to
00:29:46him Alice alright? See what he has to say about all of this. You know that's a good
00:29:51idea. Okay let's do a round of contingencies. Jesus Sergio. I think we got it by now.
00:30:02A plan Anton. A plan is nothing more than a beautiful dream. Preparation is facing my
00:30:10nightmares. Let's see how we do when things go wrong okay? Alright. Presence of additional
00:30:20police units. Escalate the hostility and create urgency. Good. And who evaluates the
00:30:27effectiveness of this? I do. On approach and call Lance. Excellent. And if you subterfuge it's still
00:30:36not successful. Anton! I detonate the explosives in the trash bin. Jesus man why is this shit so complicated?
00:30:47Why can't we just kill the motherfucker? Even in here Anton. I can smell the vines and the barrels. This is heaven.
00:31:04The patron told me personally on his deathbed that if we succeed this is once again all mine.
00:31:09But if we fail. Oh Anton if we fail. Lance would you like to explain to the team what you told me?
00:31:21Of course.
00:31:27Sergio has two daughters that he loves very much but he hasn't seen in quite a while.
00:31:32You'd be tied to a table. Blindfolded and gagged. You precious little angels wouldn't be able to hear you.
00:31:44They'd be stuffed in a burlap sack and we'd pour in starving rats. Now these rats they would eat ravenously.
00:31:55Tearing at the nubile flesh of your daughters.
00:31:58Tearing at the nubile flesh of your daughters. And when their cries became whimpers.
00:32:04They would nibble until there was nothing left.
00:32:10Yes.
00:32:12So you can see. That if you succeed you have everything to gain. But if we fail Anton.
00:32:33It's alright with you. We go again.
00:32:42We go again.
00:33:06Can't you pick any place closed sir?
00:33:08No. There aren't many banks of pay phones left. And I kind of like making you run.
00:33:15Well I enjoy the exercise. So. What happens next?
00:33:21Well you're staying on schedule so you get another body. Her name's Catherine Gronberg. She's in Connecticut. Died July 12, 2011.
00:33:29Wait a minute. Gronberg. Grump. Wasn't she that bitchy wine magazine editor?
00:33:35Wow Wendy. You really know your stuff. Yeah. She's in the northeast corner of Ashton Park. In Brighton.
00:33:45Northeast corner of Ashton Park. Brighton. Got it. You'll see it in tomorrow's edition.
00:33:50Thank you Wendy.
00:33:52Mm-hmm.
00:33:53Hey mom.
00:34:06Hi John. You got a second?
00:34:08Yeah. On a smoke break.
00:34:10Yeah. I forgot that you...
00:34:12Better than shooting heroin mom.
00:34:14Yeah Greg. I'll be right there.
00:34:17So. You finally gonna tell me what's going on?
00:34:19Look. I need your help.
00:34:21Do you remember a story in the news a few weeks back about a hitman that was confessing his kills?
00:34:27Why the hell are you calling me about this?
00:34:30That guy was trying to take down the Chutro cartel and I'm trying to figure out how he was doing it.
00:34:36Jesus mom. Do you know what would happen to me if the cartel found out I was talking to the police?
00:34:41Don't ever call me about this.
00:34:44Damn it.
00:34:48Alice.
00:34:49Yeah?
00:34:54That same guy called again. Asked for the same update.
00:34:59Why didn't you send him to me?
00:35:01Because he threatened you Alice. Said the two men would arrive before dark and kill you if you didn't report what you found.
00:35:09So you wanna tell me what the hell is going on?
00:35:13Okay. It's probably...
00:35:14I called Sistek. He sounded angry with you.
00:35:18He wants to know what you're doing out there.
00:35:20So since he's your new boss, you better call.
00:35:26Okay. Don't worry. I got it.
00:35:48Mind if I sit?
00:35:49Help yourself.
00:35:50You're a bit more agreeable to my presence.
00:35:51You're a part of the team.
00:35:52Just a rather well-informed part.
00:35:53You're a bit more agreeable to my presence.
00:35:54You're a part of the team.
00:35:55Just a rather well-informed part.
00:35:56I was sent from Bogota.
00:35:57You're a part of the team.
00:35:58Just a rather well-informed part.
00:35:59I was sent from Bogota.
00:36:00To review as well as assist in the operation,
00:36:02You're a part of the team for us.
00:36:04What is it?
00:36:07You're a part of the team?
00:36:09And what are you doing next?
00:36:10I was sent from Bogota.
00:36:12You're a part of the team, just a rather well-informed part.
00:36:23I was sent from Bogota to review as well as assist in the operation.
00:36:29Bogota? So you have the ear of the Patron?
00:36:34Something like that.
00:36:42Care for a glass?
00:36:48No thanks.
00:36:52Wine too nuanced a taste for you?
00:36:56No, it's... it's the insult.
00:37:02The insult?
00:37:05May I?
00:37:12Take a look at these two.
00:37:16The wine has been so carefully cultivated, crafted, blended and aged, all to achieve this particular taste that we are supposed to celebrate.
00:37:28For 800 bucks a bottle, no less.
00:37:321,200 actually, but go on.
00:37:38Then you have this beer.
00:37:41Made well, and with care, but not, as many would say, special.
00:37:49And?
00:37:51And then I shoot them both in the head.
00:38:05People see the wine as a tragedy, while the beer, the beer is an afterthought.
00:38:10I have one glass of beer a day, and I savor it.
00:38:17And there it is on the ground.
00:38:19Lost.
00:38:23Lost.
00:38:36It's the effect we have on the world that matters.
00:38:39Whether you're the wine or the beer.
00:38:44Let us savour what suits us best.
00:38:46Let us savour what suits us best.
00:39:14How would you know it?
00:39:19Hello?
00:39:20Good morning, sunshine.
00:39:22How did you get my home number?
00:39:25Why are you calling me?
00:39:27Jesus!
00:39:28You know I'm an evening edition woman, right?
00:39:31Get to your computer.
00:39:32Bossy and rude.
00:39:36Wait.
00:39:37You wanna do a video con...
00:39:39Just accept.
00:39:42Why can't I see you?
00:39:54That's not part of the deal.
00:39:56Post the next batch of terms on the story printed the day after Catherine was missing.
00:40:02You didn't need to see me to tell me that.
00:40:05No, but to trust you, I need to be able to look you in the eye.
00:40:09Hmm. Does this mean I get the key?
00:40:16The key to what?
00:40:18To your apartment. To this matrix dummy.
00:40:23I've seen criminal organizations use this method before.
00:40:27All in good time.
00:40:29You better hurry. The Chutro cartel is scouring the earth for you.
00:40:34Yeah, I expected that.
00:40:37So what happened?
00:40:39Why did you turn?
00:40:41I didn't turn.
00:40:43They killed a woman who needed my help.
00:40:46We did the Amante job, split up.
00:40:50The next thing I hear.
00:40:55So I am responding.
00:40:58I love a romantic.
00:41:01Let's get back to work.
00:41:02Who is it?
00:41:17I know why Anton and Lance are here.
00:41:39What makes you special?
00:41:40Sometimes a kill is a matter of sleight of hand.
00:41:46I don't follow.
00:41:49I'm the distraction.
00:41:52When my partner finishes the job.
00:41:56What does that make me?
00:42:01Do you want to find out?
00:42:02I think you better leave.
00:42:21I think you better leave.
00:42:21I don't leave.
00:42:39I think I'm making, I'm waiting for folks.
00:42:42I don't know.
00:42:42I'm going to be on my way.
00:42:44I don't know.
00:42:44Sheriff Dreyer.
00:43:08Hello, Alice.
00:43:10Bob, is that you?
00:43:11I see that our calls to your husband have been ineffective.
00:43:17Who is this?
00:43:19Alice, this is the Patron.
00:43:22I know you have found Carson Ipman and have seen the punishment inflicted on him.
00:43:29So why have you not reported anything to this effect?
00:43:33I'm sorry, but I don't know.
00:43:34You have one thing to do.
00:43:37Call Rachel Sovich at the Associated Press.
00:43:41Identify yourself and tell her what you have found.
00:43:48You understand?
00:43:50What will you do if I don't?
00:43:54Alice, do not risk hell for a ghost.
00:43:58What?
00:44:20What?
00:44:27Really?
00:44:28Where?
00:44:34No fucking way.
00:44:36Shoes through the ribs.
00:44:41Very good.
00:44:42Okay, Curry, so you're up.
00:44:45No.
00:44:46Me next.
00:44:48Not yet convinced.
00:44:49Okay.
00:45:08Good luck.
00:45:12You'll need it.
00:45:14Ready, gentlemen.
00:45:20Ready.
00:45:27Ready?
00:45:28Okay, then.
00:45:31Go forward.
00:45:42Anton.
00:45:47Anton.
00:45:49Anton, goddammit!
00:46:00Just as I thought.
00:46:08Thought what?
00:46:12Asshole.
00:46:12Right cheek, actually.
00:46:19Good work.
00:46:20Lance, you are paralyzed.
00:46:22Okay, let's go get some lunch.
00:46:26Wait.
00:46:30I think I finally figured you out, Clarissa.
00:46:35Lance, do not tell her.
00:46:37You want to be free.
00:46:43Confinement.
00:46:45That's your fear.
00:46:50I wouldn't touch a hair on your head.
00:46:53We'd wrap you in carpet.
00:46:56Duct tape it tight.
00:46:58I'd give you air and an IV, shove you in a box and bury you underground.
00:47:03Lance, enough.
00:47:07You would try to stay calm at first.
00:47:12Then you would panic, fight to move even an inch.
00:47:17Then you would pass out exhausted, just awake to the true nightmare of no escape.
00:47:24Again.
00:47:26And again and again.
00:47:30I'll remember that.
00:47:31I'll remember that.
00:47:31Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:47:49Special Agent Sistak.
00:47:50Bob it's Alice. Both Paul and I have received very disturbing death threats from an anonymous caller.
00:47:56Is there anything you can do to track down this guy?
00:47:58Alice, it's about time you contacted me. What the hell do you think you're doing out there?
00:48:05I don't know.
00:48:06What's funny is I got a call too. A source of mine says you found a cartel hitman.
00:48:11THE cartel hitman. Is that true?
00:48:15I don't know what I've found.
00:48:28John?
00:48:30Hey. Sorry about before. Hearing the word chitro just makes me angry.
00:48:36I know. And I'm sorry.
00:48:40I checked up on the hitman for you. This guy's plan was incredible.
00:48:45What was he trying to do?
00:48:47He was sharing the financial information of the team that assassinated that mayor, Amante.
00:48:53Reporters would publish their names, bank accounts, routing numbers, transaction IDs, but in unconnected pieces.
00:49:03Did it work?
00:49:04No. He didn't provide a key.
00:49:09A key? What do you mean?
00:49:10The key is how you connect everything. It's how drug agents communicate anonymously.
00:49:16Four random words that you search for that returns one page that links it all together.
00:49:22What would you use to make the key?
00:49:24I think he was using the names of those in the hit squad, but he only published three.
00:49:29Empman, Viteros, and Delacroix.
00:49:33If someone could find that fourth name, they might be able to finish what he started.
00:49:37Just...
00:49:39Be careful, okay?
00:49:40I will.
00:49:42Thanks for your help.
00:49:48Four words.
00:49:59Fuck him.
00:50:24Fuck him.
00:50:26Fuck him.
00:50:28Fuck him.

00:50:42Fuck him.
00:50:43Who's the woman?
00:50:45Fuck him.

00:52:38No more can do that.

00:52:53No more could do it.
00:53:02PHONE RINGS
00:53:32PHONE RINGS
00:54:02PHONE RINGS
00:54:07Look, we just need a place to lay low for a couple of days.
00:54:12If it's all the same to you, how about that gun of yours?
00:54:16PHONE RINGS
00:54:28John, you won't believe what I figured out.
00:54:49Mom, I looked into this some more, and you could be in some trouble.
00:54:53He's not looking to expose the hit squad. He's looking to expose everything.
00:54:57I need you to think about your safety. They could be listening to you right now.
00:55:01Every kill he confessed to is related to wine in some way.
00:55:04He's giving us a map to how the entire system worked. Distributors, politicians, even goddamn wine reviewers.
00:55:11System? What system?
00:55:13The Guillemonte Winery is a gigantic money launderer.
00:55:17And through the other contract killers, he's tying together the entire Chutro financial organization.
00:55:23Mom, stop.
00:55:26I need you to be quiet and forget everything you just said.
00:55:30John, this is huge. I...
00:55:31Mom! Didn't you hear about what happened to those newspaper reporters that Edmund was working with?
00:55:37No, I didn't.
00:55:38You don't know how bad these people are.
00:55:51Washington Herald.
00:55:53Hey, uh, Wendy Ludlow, please.
00:55:57Oh, uh...
00:55:58Oh, Jesus.
00:55:59Hey, is everything all right?
00:56:01She's...
00:56:02Ms. Ludlow is missing.
00:56:06What are you talking about?
00:56:07Are you the man she was working with?
00:56:13Where's Wendy?
00:56:15They told me to read you this.
00:56:18Carson, give up if you want to save her life.
00:56:22Or wait and have both of you suffer.
00:56:24Oh, shit.
00:56:30This is a police recording.
00:56:32If you have information on the whereabouts of Mitch Verplank,
00:56:35please contact the Dallas F...
00:56:37Sacramento Times.
00:56:40Manuel Cortez, please.
00:56:42This is a special agent, sister.
00:56:45Who am I speaking with, please?
00:57:01I need to speak with Manuel Cortez now.
00:57:08So, you must be Carson.
00:57:12Looks like the Patron got ahead of your game.
00:57:15Is he alive?
00:57:17That's very hard to say.
00:57:19This newspaper received a video this morning showing staff reporter Manuel Cortez being wrapped in cowhide and strung up over a fire.
00:57:28You spoke with this man yesterday, correct?
00:57:33Yes.
00:57:33Well, the video went on to show Mr. Cortez being roasted alive for over three hours.
00:57:41I think it's about time for you to help us out.
00:57:44I think it's about time for him to help us out.
00:57:47These are the four days later.
00:57:48Okay.
00:57:49Which immediately warrant us some money to tour.
00:57:50To come to go from the house.
00:57:50You have to walk us out.
00:57:51I don't know.
00:57:52Why not do you guys keep in line?
00:57:53No.
00:57:54任務fortable Ilerman easy says they are.
00:57:56This man here is weak.
00:57:58It's about time for many times.
00:57:59Which immediately happens best for us to our police.
00:58:00How many times have happened?
00:58:01I see.
00:58:31What are they doing with him?
00:58:35It's one of our lab rats.
00:58:39I thought the serum was finished.
00:58:41They want to get the dosage right.
00:58:45Who is he?
00:58:49Someone who didn't successfully curry the Patron's favor, I would guess.
00:58:55Tell me about you and Clarissa.
00:58:59Has your sixth sense figured me out yet?
00:59:07Not yet.
00:59:09Bassoon.
00:59:13Has Sergio given you his pitch yet?
00:59:21Pitch?
00:59:23No.
00:59:25I imagine that you'll accept.
00:59:27You have a talent for suffering I think that you've yet to appreciate.
00:59:35There was years ago there was a method I had heard of that I thought was quite brilliant.
00:59:39It takes just one bullet to hit a precise spot in the abdomen.
00:59:49It severs the intercostal nerve.
00:59:51It's excruciating pain, a slow bleed out.
00:59:53The mastery.
00:59:55It was in the performance.
00:59:59You staged it as an accident.
01:00:01You told her you were gonna go get help.
01:00:07You gave her hope so that she would endure for as long as possible.
01:00:11As long as her strength would hold out.
01:00:13And then you came back at the last moment.
01:00:19Just to laugh at her before she dies.
01:00:23As long as she dies.
01:00:31Suffering such a complex emotion.
01:00:33There's so many shapes.
01:00:35And colors.
01:00:37It's beautiful really.
01:00:41You should embrace this talent of yours.
01:00:45You should embrace this talent of yours.
01:01:11Office of the mayor.
01:01:13Margaret Amante, please.
01:01:15May I ask who's calling?
01:01:19I am the man who murdered her husband.
01:01:23Connect me in 30 seconds if she wants me caught.
01:01:25I only speak to her.
01:01:35She will speak to you.
01:01:37Call back in 15 minutes.
01:01:39Exactly 15.
01:01:43Your radios and cell phones for tomorrow.
01:01:53You're ready, my friends.
01:01:55You're ready, my friends.
01:01:57I'm good.
01:01:58That's right.
01:01:59You're ready.
01:02:00You're ready.
01:02:01According to the researcher.
01:02:03You're ready.
01:02:04Carpher, please, sit.
01:02:05We have one more piece of business to discuss.
01:02:09We have one more piece of business to discuss.
01:02:16I have made an offer to the rest of the team, and I have all accepted.
01:02:20I would like to make the same offer to you.
01:02:24Another job like this? I don't think so.
01:02:28Not a job, my friend. A career.
01:02:30Your contract rate would increase to $1 million per assignment.
01:02:35Complete four jobs in a year, and you receive a $4 million bonus.
01:02:42What changes?
01:02:45A certain degree of, uh...
01:02:49Torture.
01:02:52Penance.
01:02:56That was the word that I was looking for.
01:02:58And don't worry, my friend. We can offer you all the training you need.
01:03:02We need good men like you, Carson.
01:03:06Consider it.
01:03:07Do not miss out on this opportunity, Carson.
01:03:10The Patron would be most grateful.
01:03:13You'd get to be my understudy.
01:03:16I don't torture people.
01:03:18You'd learn to like him.
01:03:23You still don't know, do you?
01:03:26Oh, I think I'm getting close.
01:03:29How about I just tell you?
01:03:31I'd hate for you to get it wrong.
01:03:33Take me somewhere remote, where I may never be found.
01:03:43Slice off my fingertips.
01:03:46Peel the skin off of my tattoos.
01:03:49Pour acid on my face.
01:03:51Burning out my eyes.
01:03:53Leave me completely unrecognizable.
01:03:55Then rip out my teeth, and tear out my tongue.
01:04:01And as I died, I know that even when I was found, they would never know who I was.
01:04:09I would leave no legacy, except my own excruciating hell.
01:04:17How strange that someone that prizes anonymity would fear that, of all things.
01:04:32I'll think about it.
01:04:47I am beginning to believe that I will not succeed.
01:05:05Whoever you are, share this letter with the world.
01:05:08They will want to know.
01:05:09Just put the following words in sequence in whatever you say.
01:05:14Do that, and the cartel will fall.
01:05:21Who is Clarissa Carson?
01:05:23Hello, Alice.
01:05:34Hello, Patron.
01:05:36You have not made the call to Mrs. Sovich?
01:05:41No.
01:05:43Why you make such a mistake?
01:05:46Because you want the world to know what you'll do to anyone who gets in your way.
01:05:54Alice, I know how hard it was for you to see your son in prison three years.
01:06:03But he knew that whatever he faced inside was nothing compared to the price of betrayal.
01:06:13Do you wish for him to suffer now, because of you?
01:06:19Okay, Patron.
01:06:20I understand.
01:06:22I understand completely.
01:06:25I'll call Sovich right now.
01:06:27Because we can take him from his courage in Olympia whenever we want.
01:06:33Do you understand?
01:06:34Yes.
01:06:35Goddammit, I understand.
01:06:37Don't make me come for you.
01:06:43They won't turn me into a monster.
01:07:05That's why they brought you here.
01:07:07Well, what now?
01:07:16I'll do the job and disappear.
01:07:19They'll find you.
01:07:23Let's leave.
01:07:26But now, I want to be done with the cartel.
01:07:31Good luck tomorrow.
01:07:55Goddamn you.
01:07:56Goddamn you.
01:08:26Is this a prank?
01:08:28Hello, Margaret.
01:08:29No, it is not.
01:08:31Then why are you calling me?
01:08:34To give you vengeance.
01:08:36I don't...
01:08:37I don't want vengeance.
01:08:40I am sorry, but I need you.
01:08:44I had four reporters that were going to do your job.
01:08:47Do you know what is happening to them?
01:08:49They are being tortured every day until you are found.
01:08:51Yes.
01:08:52Yes.
01:08:53Yes, I do.
01:08:54And we can help them.
01:08:57Tell me how.
01:09:05Alice?
01:09:06What do you got for me?
01:09:08They're threatening my son.
01:09:10I need you to send someone to his garage to protect him.
01:09:13Try and calm down.
01:09:15Who's threatening him?
01:09:16The Chutro drug cartel.
01:09:19All right, listen carefully, Alice.
01:09:20If you want this job in San Francisco,
01:09:23you hang up and do what they asked you to do.
01:09:26I'm begging you, Bob, please protect my son.
01:09:30All right, we have men on the way.
01:09:33To watch my son.
01:09:34To you, Alice.
01:09:36Now do what the Patron asks.
01:09:47Associated Press.
01:09:48Rachel Sovich, please.
01:09:50If I do nothing, you're dead anyway.
01:09:54What could I possibly give to you that is in my interest?
01:09:59A public announcement.
01:10:01Go on.
01:10:02I want to destroy Chutro.
01:10:06But to do that, I need a war between all the cartels.
01:10:12If they all have access to the same information at the same time,
01:10:15they will all go after Chutro at once.
01:10:17Anything short of that means nothing will happen.
01:10:20What do you need me to do?
01:10:27You will announce that the man who murdered your husband
01:10:30is giving himself up.
01:10:33He is.
01:10:35Schedule a press conference.
01:10:36Get on the 5 o'clock news,
01:10:38put the microphone up to the speaker,
01:10:39and I will give everything up.
01:10:425 p.m. tonight, Pacific time.
01:10:45Call me then.
01:10:49Thank you, Margaret.
01:10:50I've been anxiously awaiting your call, Sheriff Dreyer.
01:10:55This'll be headline news across the country tomorrow.
01:10:59You're going to be famous.
01:11:00Are you working with him, the Patron?
01:11:03I'm just doing my job, Sheriff.
01:11:05So, I hear you have some gory details for me.
01:11:09Tell me about the body.
01:11:11Got what appears to be a homicide.
01:11:15Male victim, deceased a few days.
01:11:17Fingertips, patches of skin, and the scalp have been removed.
01:11:26Face, teeth, tongue, removed.
01:11:30Now, I have sources that indicate a letter was found.
01:11:34You are working with him, you little shit.
01:11:37Yes, I found the letter.
01:11:39So, did he really suffer all that just for a woman?
01:11:43The woman.
01:11:58The woman.
01:11:58John, don't hang up.
01:12:05They hit on Amante.
01:12:07There was a woman on the team.
01:12:08Who was she?
01:12:09Mom, no one knows.
01:12:11This was a big target.
01:12:12They would have used their best people.
01:12:14Any idea who she could be.
01:12:16The cartel hires dozens of contract killers.
01:12:18Men and women.
01:12:20Anyone named Clarissa.
01:12:43So, you agreed to the deal.
01:12:46Never had much of a choice now, did we?
01:12:49You could have said no.
01:12:52I don't know what kind of life you've lived.
01:12:55But all my choices have been to either live a nightmare or be the nightmare.
01:13:03Either way, the nightmare just keeps getting worse.
01:13:08Shit, it don't even matter though now.
01:13:11Probably won't live long enough for it to be an issue.
01:13:14What does that mean?
01:13:15I mean you.
01:13:19And Clarissa.
01:13:22Man, how could you be so stupid?
01:13:24That is over.
01:13:26We are through.
01:13:27We're a team, man.
01:13:29We're family.
01:13:31We succeed together.
01:13:33We betray together.
01:13:34Betray?
01:13:35Who did I betray?
01:13:37Who did I betray?
01:13:39Well, at least Clarissa will suffer just as bad, huh?
01:13:42Or maybe even worse.
01:13:44What, I guess you're just going to hope she keeps her mouth shut?
01:13:47Anton, what the fuck are you talking about?
01:13:51The only little fear was with Clarissa Annabelle Chutro.
01:14:04She's the new Patron's wife.
01:14:08She's the new Patron's wife.
01:14:10Perhaps I had it wrong.
01:14:23Perhaps I'm writing to someone else entirely.
01:14:26Maybe the person holding this letter is the one sent to torture me.
01:14:32But you were too late.
01:14:35Together with Margaret Amante, we will show the world how to take down Chutro and the Patron.
01:14:41John, one more thing.
01:15:07No, Mom.
01:15:08Stop trying to figure this out.
01:15:09Just let it be.
01:15:10There was going to be a press conference, and Entman was calling in.
01:15:14Amante's wife Margaret was putting it on.
01:15:16No.
01:15:17There wasn't.
01:15:18Entman was going to admit to everything.
01:15:20Why was it canceled?
01:15:22Mom, there never was going to be a press conference.
01:15:25She set that up to track his cell phone.
01:15:28Looked like it worked.
01:15:40Yeah.
01:15:52Yeah.
01:15:52On it.
01:15:54You are welcome at any time.
01:16:04I'm just saying, I think that we can try and reschedule the one meeting.
01:16:21Well, can we just, for this one, can we just keep the questions to a half an hour?
01:16:25You're declaring that you will end bribery and corruption in this city.
01:16:29There are going to be a lot of questions.
01:16:31I'm just really nervous.
01:16:34Well, you're going to piss off some very dangerous people.
01:16:42Excuse me, sir.
01:16:43May I help you?
01:16:45It's coming down the steps.
01:16:4720 seconds.
01:16:48I need that script.
01:16:49If I say too little, this thing can blow up.
01:16:52And if I say too much of the wrong thing, I can go to prison.
01:16:56Or worse.
01:17:22Sir, I'm sorry to point you out.
01:17:47Sweetie, you will be fine.
01:17:52Sir, if you cannot leave the rest of your life, you will be fine.
01:17:54Short, concise answers.
01:17:5610 seconds.
01:17:57Keep going.
01:17:57Sir, you're going to have to leave.
01:17:59Don't over-explain.
01:18:04Five seconds.
01:18:05Get ready.
01:18:06This is my last warning.
01:18:08Just try and stick to the talking points that we discuss.
01:18:13Do it now.
01:18:14Do it now.
01:18:14Make it count.
01:18:15That's it.
01:18:16Out!
01:18:19Excuse me.
01:18:22What is she doing?
01:18:24Just let the staff handle it.
01:18:26That's the problem.
01:18:28Because we can't have headlines of a beating on...
01:18:31Morgan, are you all right?
01:18:36He's all yours.
01:18:37What is she doing?
01:18:38What is she doing?
01:18:39What is she doing?
01:18:40What is she doing?
01:18:41What is she doing?
01:18:42What is she doing?
01:18:43What is she doing?
01:18:44What is she doing?
01:18:45What is she doing?
01:18:46What is she doing?
01:18:47What is she doing?
01:18:48What is she doing?
01:18:49What is she doing?
01:18:50What is she doing?
01:18:51What is she doing?
01:18:52What is she doing?
01:18:53What is she doing?
01:18:54What is she doing?
01:18:55What is she doing?
01:18:56What is she doing?
01:18:57What is she doing?
01:18:58What is she doing?
01:18:59What is she doing?
01:19:00What is she doing?
01:19:01What is she doing?
01:19:02What is she doing?
01:19:03What is she doing?
01:19:04What is she doing?
01:19:35Hello, Carson.
01:19:43Oh, it hurts.
01:19:46Morgan, somebody help me.
01:19:49I'm a doctor. What's wrong?
01:19:50Stop right there.
01:19:51Look, I'm from St. Michael's.
01:19:54All right, now please let me through.
01:19:55And somebody call 911.
01:19:56Let him through.
01:20:00Jesus.
01:20:00Is he going to be all right?
01:20:06I don't know, damn it.
01:20:07It could be an obstruction.
01:20:10The Patron says,
01:20:12Hello, Mayor.
01:20:14And he thanks you
01:20:16for your betrayal.
01:20:17And in return,
01:20:21your family will now watch
01:20:22as you suffer
01:20:24a most exquisite death.
01:20:29Welcome to hell.
01:20:30Garson, I am Eagle.
01:20:43Hello, Patron.
01:20:47They told me you were dead.
01:20:50That you'd been tortured.
01:20:51Yeah, that was my doing.
01:20:59I let the Patron believe
01:21:01that you loved me,
01:21:02so he wanted you dead.
01:21:04So I convinced him
01:21:06to let me set the trap
01:21:07with Sergio.
01:21:08So you wanted me dead?
01:21:11I hadn't decided yet.
01:21:13What are you doing here?
01:21:25I'm the distraction.
01:21:26I've waited a long time
01:21:49for this, Carson.
01:21:50I've waited a long time
01:21:51for this, Carson.
01:21:56As you now realize
01:21:58this was all for you.
01:22:01You now are a monster
01:22:03like us.
01:22:05I will call on you
01:22:06again soon, compadre.
01:22:12You've been injected
01:22:13with the paralytic serum
01:22:14with a careful dose of acid.
01:22:17And you shall die
01:22:18in the next eight hours.
01:22:19But do not worry.
01:22:21We found a replacement for you.
01:22:23Someone to keep things
01:22:24just the way they were.
01:22:26We're out.
01:22:29Okay, that should stabilize him.
01:22:32And where's that damn ambulance?
01:22:33Ambulance?
01:22:56You were so close,
01:23:02weren't you?
01:23:03You ready?
01:23:27Congratulations, Alice.
01:23:35You completed your first assignment.
01:23:37You just let the world know
01:23:39what happens
01:23:39when you try to cross
01:23:40the Patron.
01:23:43You know, for a moment
01:23:44I didn't think you had it in
01:23:45you to follow orders.
01:23:47So is that enough for you?
01:23:49Yes.
01:23:50Thanks, Alice.
01:23:51You've done enough.
01:23:52I look forward to having you
01:23:54down here on the team.
01:23:56Go to hell.
01:23:56Clarissa, step aside.
01:24:09Clarissa, step aside.
01:24:09Does this scare you, Lance?
01:24:23And why would it?
01:24:27Because this sure as hell
01:24:30isn't my worst fear.
01:24:31Your turn, Lance.
01:24:45Your turn, Lance.
01:24:45If you are reading this,
01:24:57then I am dead.
01:24:59You must finish
01:25:01what I've started.
01:25:02With the information
01:25:04provided here,
01:25:05you now possess the map
01:25:06to $700 million
01:25:08of the Chutro cartel's assets.
01:25:10Use it to destroy them.
01:25:15Do whatever is necessary.
01:25:18I'm counting on you.
01:25:21If you fail me,
01:25:23then know,
01:25:24even in my death,
01:25:25that a ghost
01:25:26will soon pay you a visit.
01:25:32Sheriff Dreyer.
01:25:33Alice, you were just in time.
01:25:36Will my son be left alone?
01:25:38Well, for now.
01:25:39But we will keep
01:25:41an eye on him.
01:25:43You know,
01:25:43I wonder why
01:25:45you took such risks
01:25:47for a dead man.
01:25:49Perhaps you will tell me
01:25:51when you are in San Francisco.
01:25:54Perhaps not.
01:25:55I might not have what it takes.
01:25:57Then until we meet again,
01:26:00Sheriff Dreyer.
01:26:02Patron.
01:26:03Out of for you.
01:26:17Not for you.
01:26:19Sorry.
01:26:22Got it,
01:26:23but...
01:26:25I might not have Pooh.
