Previously on Gang Related...

I've done everything you've asked me to:

military, LAPD.

This is what you're protecting, is family.

Cap, uh, I was gonna tell you.

Ryan, if I had to handpick someone

for my daughter, it would be you.

I need to get out for the family.

My bosses will expect you to meet every payment deadline.

They'll hold you and your family accountable.

When something's about to go down,

Javier warns us.

What are you saying?

Javier has a mole.

I've been thinking what you said about Ryan maybe being the mole.

I think that you're onto something.

You're surrounded, Acosta!

Step outside the vehicle with your hands up!

What happened?

IA believed I was the mole. I had to do my job.

When I went home tonight, my split kit was gone.

You've reached the voice mail of Agent Paul Carter.

Carter, it's Jessica. I-I know I'm the last person

you want to hear from right now.

You're the only person I can trust.

It's about Ryan Lopez. Just, I'll tell you

about it when I can. Please call me back.

Was what we had even real?

It's the only thing in my life that wasn't a lie.

One of my ADAs knows the identity

of one your guys inside the GTF.

I want to know why I had to find out from her.

I'm one of the few friends you have left.

Silvia...

- Silvia, what's wrong? - It's Daniel.

Ryan, he's not the same.

Daniel!

I'm gonna do everything in my power to put you

in the same supermax as El Mozo.

To become king, you have to kill the king.

We share a common enemy... Metas.

Please! Please!

- I got no squabbles with the Metas. - Not yet.

Sooner or later, they will come after you, Lavar.

And you will need me as much as I need you.

The Metas are planning to retaliate against Chapel

for the bust he made this morning.

What kind of retaliation?

Put a hit on him.

On Chapel?

On his daughter.

Cap, we need to find Jessica!

Ryan...

- I'm so sorry. - I don't want sorry.

I want information.

I want to know whoever did this and I want them to pay.

Tio, no one knows the Metas better than you.

Who was it?

Look at me!

I know you know.

You have to tell me, okay?

Tell me!

I can't, Ryan.

I can.

I know exactly who it was

because I saw that sledgehammer two feet from my face.

Just like the one they found at Jessica's house.

It was the Metas' enforcer.

Matias Villarreal.

- Daniel! - If somebody did that

to the woman you love,

you wouldn't go after them?

He deserves to know.

Where is he?

In the wind.

Went south.

Not exactly sure where the Metas are hiding him.

Ryan, Javier asked me to tell you,

he needs you here

implementing the plan to kill El Mozo.

Look, we're gonna get these guys.

The plan's already in motion.

But you need to stop.

I can't do that.

We need to talk.

I know that Matias Villarreal murdered my daughter, Mozo,

and I know that you ordered it.

Sorry for your loss, Captain Chapel, but I already told

the cops... we didn't do it.

We were set up!

You son of a bitch.

This is gonna be your wake-up call

every day for the rest of your life until you give me Matias.

I said we didn't do it.

Sam.

Damn it!

What the hell are you doing?

I'm conducting an interrogation, Ed.

I suggest you go back to your office

if you don't have the stomach for it.

I suggest you two stand down

unless you want to sleep here tonight.

There are rules for questioning...

He murdered my child!

I know this must be a difficult time for you, Sam,

I do. But he's a star witness in a federal trial.

You want to question this scumbag, you go ahead and do it.

You do it the right way.

I know how much you're hurting, Sam,

but, come on, what were you thinking?

I was thinking of my daughter.

You storm into a federal prison and you attack

a government witness?

And I would do it again.

No, you won't.

Because you are suspended without further notice.

You don't have that authority.

Well, the chief does. He signed off on it.

Come on, Sam. What do you expect us to do?

Do you realize Mozo's lawyer is pushing for a mistrial?

You go all cowboy in there and make a mockery

of the legal system.

- That's the message you sent. - All right,

forget that she was my daughter.

Forget that this has anything to do with me.

She was your Assistant District Attorney.

You suspend me, you're putting a target on the back

of everyone in the Justice Department, and you're telling

the Metas that hunting season is open...

- that's the message you're sending. - No,

there is nothing I would like more than to watch you

beat the truth out of that animal.

Okay? But that is not what Jessica would want,

and you and I both know it.

He's not gonna get away with this.

He's gonna burn in hell for what he did.

Yes, he will.

But I got to get him there the right way.

My office is gonna make a proper case.

I will find the person that killed her

and I will link him directly up with Mozo

and I will put them both on death row.

I promise you, Sam.

But in the meantime, you are suspended.

So what's the plan?

It doesn't matter, Ryan.

If you're going after Matias alone,

you're gonna get yourself killed.

- Well, some things are worth dying for. - Captain,

- there's a right way to do this. - Yeah, and we can.

Thanks to Cassius, we know where to find Matias.

- Where is he? - My DEA contacts

spotted him two hours ago in this border town of Mexicali.

We spoke to the D.A.'s office.

They're just waiting for a judge to get his extradition papers.

Well, they won't. Extraditing Matias would mean

getting permission from the Mexican authorities,

and the Metas own all the politicians down there.

No.

The man who murdered my daughter

will not be punished by the law...

he'll be protected by it.

If I want to get to Matias,

to El Mozo, I can't do it through legal channels.

So what are we gonna do?

Not "we". Me. I'm going down to Mexico.

I'll get Matias myself.

No, no, that's exactly how it has to be.

These guys don't get to ruin

any more good cops.

Well,

it ain't a cop that's going with you.

We're a family.

We go down there,

we don't have the protection of the law.

We have no authority. Anything goes wrong,

we're on our own.

We do this together or not at all.

All right.

We came as soon as we could.

What happened?

I move to the supermax in Pelican Bay tomorrow,

but we have a problem.

Department of Corrections scattered the Angelicos

that were in Pelican Bay to other prisons around the state.

You got to cancel the transfer.

Pop, Pelican Bay's controlled by the Metas

and the Lords.

You go in there without Angelico muscle,

- you won't make it a day. - No.

We move forward with the plan.

Right now, the Metas believe they're the ones

who are setting the trap. What they don't know

is that their head is already in ours.

But it needs to be a surgical strike.

The timing exact.

At the same time Gnomo and his soldiers

take out El Mozo's lieutenants and Matias in Mexicali,

I'll take out El Mozo myself.

Pop, that's suicide. You ain't got no one to back you up.
