500 glocks smuggled from Afghanistan

none registered in the U.S.

You alert atf?

And let them take our collar?

Hell no.

We're controlling

this one, brother.

I love it.

So, what's the plan?

Harlon faces strike three.

We nail that f***er,

get him to flip

on the beast. Simple.

Whole power structure

comes tumbling down.

All right. I'll start pounding the streets

on the eses, see if anyone's talking.

I'll set up on harlon.

Meet with him later today.

Let's rock, fellas.

Face directly ahead, please.

So, what's next?

The arraignment, right?

Yes. And I know

the prosecutor assigned to

your case. This guy's

a hard-charger, Jacob.

He only cares about his stats,

especially on dui manslaughter

cases. He's going for the

maximum sentencing guidelines,

four years plus an additional

three for great bodily injury

enhancement since the other

driver broke his legs.

We're talking about

seven years here, man.

Seven years.

Can we fight it?

Yeah. I mean,

we can go to trial, but...

I gotta be honest, man, the

evidence is pretty overwhelming.

It didn't help the intersection

had a traffic camera, either.

My advice is, you let me go to the

prosecutor now, get him to make a deal.

Because if we go to trial, he

will stick to the maximums.

That's what they do. That's how it works.

What kind of deal?

Look, you agree to

a no-contest plea...

I think I can get him

to two years on count one,

reduce the great

bodily injury enhancement...

To what's called

a dui with injury.

Now, that drops the additional

three years to eight months.

It means...

Realistically you'd only

have to do 16 months.

Yeah, 16 months. Ehm...

It's your call, pal.

Hey.

Hi.

Okay, so they accepted

the house as collateral.

So I can bail you out,

get you outta there. Okay?

What? Did something happen?

What?

I know this is gonna

be hard to take...

But Steve got them

to accept a deal.

If I plead no-contest,

they'll agree to two years...

- No!

- Eight months.

No, we're fighting this.

If we do, I'm

facing seven years.

If we win this, you face none.

Kate...

What?

Honey, I blew a point .10.

I ran the red.

I killed tom.

It was an accident.

It was an accident. I know.

I don't care what Steve says.

People don't go

away for accidents!

Jennifer and Tina will

never see tom again.

I'm responsible.

Sixteen months,

it's nothing compared to

what they're going through.

No!

Programmed my number into both.

Erase it from this

one so it's clean.

Where are we heading?

East L.A.

Lola's flowers on Beverly.

Any word about last night?

I haven't heard anything yet.

And the girl?

She'll be okay. Luckily,

the round went through clean.

She solid?
