- Previously on graceland...
- We got a new agent coming in.
He's your new trainee. Name's mike warren.
Graduated top of his class at quantico.
- Hey, why do they call it graceland?
- When they seized it from this drug lord,
He was apparently some hard-core elvis fan.
The name just kinda stuck.
So you, me, briggs, and charlie are fbi.
Lauren and donnie are dea.
So is paige, but she's on vacation for a couple days.
Oh, and jakes is customs.
- The house is a tight fit.
You're gonna find out real fast
There are no secrets at graceland.
- Except for briggs. - Yeah.
Except for briggs.
- Give me the gun, and get in the car.
- This is your last chance.
- Something's wrong.
- Or what?
[gunshots]
You saw the gun?
- Yeah, I see it right there.
- Agent briggs saved my life.
- Your assignment is to investigate briggs.
Will what he did affect that ability?
- No, sir.
- I heard they kinda slammed you with this job, huh?
- [sighs] yeah. Yeah, they did.
- No idea why?
- No, sir.

Clearly states that if we witness an act of violence,
We must engage. - That's exactly right.
- Screw the book. It wasn't written for you, okay?
You're an undercover agent.
That means your cover is everything.
Especially here. This is our home.

You get tight with overnight.

But he keeps saying I'm too green.

Charm him. Briggs likes self-starters.
You need to bring him something.
- Okay, well, there is this guy bello.
He's an up-and-comer briggs is trying to get close to.
He's just playing the periphery. He hasn't even met the guy.
- Okay, so that means briggs needs to do something big
And splashy in order to get his attention.
- How do I get him to do splashy?
- Well, in order for him to get noticed,
He needs to give him something he wants but doesn't have.
He's a drug supplier, offer him new territory.
He's smuggling car parts,
Offer him a cheaper source, whatever.
- That's the thing with this guy bello, though.
He seems to be involved in everything.

I think I got something that might help.
- Come on in, mike.
- So one of the things
Bello's looking for is firepower, right?
- I see you read my case file.
- Jakes just scored a thousand armor-piercing bullets.
You think bello would be into that?
- Continue.
- You tell bello that you got a guy at camp pendleton
With the bullets--a marine. - That'd be you.
- I've got the look, right? - You do.
- So we borrow the bullets from jakes
And sell them to one of bello's guys.
- Eddie, mm-hmm. - Eddie.
- Arrest eddie, flip him,
And make him bring you to bello.
- Ah, and you started off so strong.
It's too risky. There's too many moving pieces.
If it got back to bello, I'd be dead.
But I appreciate the effort. - It's a work in progress.
- I'll think about it.
Hey, stranger. What you doing home?
- Charlie and mike helped me spike bobby's drink.
- [chuckles] the dreaded spike, huh?
- Mm-hmm. - Couldn't get it up, huh?
- Nope. He got embarrassed and kicked me out.
Third time. - Yeah.
You know, at some point, the guy's gonna stop drinking.
- I know. And then what? I seriously hate this case.
He's not giving me anything.
He won't talk business in front of a woman.
- Right.
Well, you know, ease your way out.
- I should. But I want him.
I mean, he's such a pig.
- Hmm. - But you're right.
This won't end well for me.
- You know, I do still have a connection with bobby's crew.
- I--I can't ask you to do that.
- You know I owe you plenty.
And you didn't ask.
- Thanks, paul. - Yeah.
[knocks on door] - enter.
- I thought about it. Your plan's awesome.
We get rolling in the morning.
- What changed?
- Mm, told you. Thought about it.
Tell jakes.
- Hey, jakes, can I ask you something?
- Yeah, man, go ahead. - Those 5.7s.
Have you filed them yet? - No.
- Would you mind if I borrowed them?
- Are you out of your goddamn mind?
- It's only for the day. Briggs will sign for 'em.
- You think that makes me feel better?
Look, levi, one of these gets out on the streets,
Happens to penetrate the body armor
And chest cavity of an lapd officer,
I'll be in jail, getting penetrated
In a different cavity, you feel me?
- I'll trade you.
What do you want?
- I want you to leave me alone.
- I'll do your next round on the chore wheel.
Jakes, come on, man.
Let these bullets do some good in the world
Before they're destroyed. Hmm?
- All right, I'll tell you what, levi.
Two. Two turns on the wheel.
- Done.
- How many rounds you gonna need?
- All of 'em.
[indistinct chatter]
- [laughs]
We got g.I. Joe in the house, guys.
- Reporting for duty, sir.
- Right off the recruitment poster.
- Reservist with the 316th quartermaster company
At pendleton. - Mm-hmm.
- [southern accent] manufacturer donated some bullets
For live fire testing.
Not all of 'em made it to the range.
- Dig it. Don't depart from it.
Now, look, the bureau boys worked hard
To get this backstop for you.
If eddie or bello has the ability to check,
Which I highly doubt, it'll come up
That you're registered with the 316th.
- Expectin' to see bello today, sir?
- No, no. It's gonna be eddie's show.
Bello steers clear of the indictable stuff.
- Sure.
- But what is up with that accent?
- Felt quite natural for the character.
- Oh, listen, mike, you're not playing curly in oklahoma, okay?
If it doesn't flow out of you second nature,
You should drop it.
- Dropped.
Now, we're gonna have audio on both of us.
- Okay.
- You and I will go in with 50 rounds of ammo,
Test some of the bullets, and get out of there.
We'll make the sale later
When the odds aren't so stacked against us.
- All right, guys, check it out.
Found a spot a block away from where you guys are.
Closest we can get.
No visual inside, though,
So no sniper love for you guys.
- Well, what's the signal if something goes wrong?
- How 'bout "oh, shit"?
- That's good.
- Oh, shit.
[gunshots]
- Damn, eddie, what'd that car do to you?
- Hey, paul. - [laughs]
- Staying out of trouble, my friend?
- Not so much. How 'bout you?
- You know me. - I do.
Eddie, this is my guy.
He's a reservist
Out of the 316th quartermaster company at pendleton.
- Pendleton. - Yeah.
- Yes.
- I'm not packin'.
- Show me what you brought. - Oh, yeah.
You and the mexicans both fire the 5.7s, right, eddie?
- Yes. - I'll tell you what.
Compared to these bad boys, you're shooting blanks.
- What we have here is a 40-grain
High-performance cartridge with a tungsten carbide core.
- A.K.A. Cop killers.
Illegal in all 50 states and puerto rico.
Now, feel that missile right there.
No matter what tactical vest the other guy's wearing,
Touch him with one of those, he'll be feeling a draft.
- We'll see. Bring out the bears.
- We'll get 'em. - Bears?
- Yes. You know, cops. Smokey bears.
- Oh. - [laughs]
That is real body armor. L.A.'s finest.
Ready?
Shoot.
[gunshots]
What are you trying to sell us?
- It's a huge cartridge.
The kick will throw your aim off a bit, that's all.
- You're saying we can't shoot?
- No, eddie, of course you can shoot.
- No, you can't.
- Team one, we might be going in hot.
- We can't shoot? Is that what you are saying?
- Not without some instruction.
- Come on, mike.
- [laughs] - [chuckles]
- We don't need a lesson. - May I?
- Is he going to shoot me?
- If he does, I'll shoot him.
- What the hell is he doing?
- These bullets are longer and heavier
Than the ones you're used to shooting.
The recoil is gonna push the nose up,
So you need to aim underneath your target.
[laughter] - oops.
[chuckles]
So we got a deal?
- I'll talk to bello.
But from what I'm seeing,
Yes, we have a deal.
- [shushing]
So there he was, outnumbered--
One man against five.
That's not a fair fight, right?

- You're not afraid to use your firearm.
- No. [laughter]
- So I take it you're all healed and whatnot, right?
- No, actually, they want to make it a weekly thing.
- Hey. - For real?
- Don't let them head-game hippies label you, man.
- Like crazy jakes here.
- Right. [laughter]
I already got a nickname.
- All I know is those ink blots look pissed off.
[laughter]
- Well, to our merry, merry band of misfits, huh?
- Yes. All: Cheers.
[indistinct chatter]
- Jakes, anybody else need a re-up?
- I'm good, man. Thank you. - My man mike?
- No, man. Got a big day tomorrow.
- Oh, yeah.
500,000, right? - It's all there.
- All right.
[indistinct chatter]
- Bullets are walking. - There they go.
- Please tell me we have a tracker on them.
- Not unless you put one in there.
- What are you talking about?
The plan was to arrest eddie when he had the ammunition.
- No, that was your plan. Get in.
- I got the plate off eddie's truck.
We should call it in.
- Nah, we're not gonna call it in.
They switched their plates the second
They rolled off the junkyard.
About the crate of cop killers we just let walk away?
- Have you ever been to guadalajara?
- No, I've never been to guadalajara.
- The food there is amazing. - Where are we going?
- You know what they don't have in guadalajara, though?
It's a damn shame-- sour cream.
[indistinct chatter]
- Now, right there is sun city hot dogs.
They have got a dog that is smothered in sour cream,
Tomatoes, and jalapenos.
Mwah!
For the life of me, I can't figure out why,
But they call it a guadalajara dog.
I need one. - [chuckles]
- And a large root beer. Get yourself something too.
- This is bullshit, briggs.
- Hey, we are focused on hot dogs right now, okay?
- There's a line.
- You graduated first in your class.
Figure it out, buddy.
Genius.
- Okay.
- Agent badillo's office.
- Mike warren. Can I talk to juan?
- Sorry, mike, he's out. I can give him a message.
- Tell him it's about paul briggs, and it's important.
Thanks, katie.
Excuse me, I'm with the l.A. County animal control.
Don't worry, I'm not shutting it down.
- What? - Animal...
- Ah, my man. Thanks.
Oh-ho.
Chili cheese. You naughty boy.
Thank you.
- I thought we were in a hurry.
- Yeah, we were. Now we're right on schedule.
- For what?
- Do you trust me, mike? Be honest.
- No, sir.
- Hmm.
You know what a heat run is?
I know you do because it's in the book.
- A heat run is when someone makes a series
Of random turns and speed changes
In order to avoid a tail. - Mm-hmm.
I love it. - You like that?
- Mm-hmm. Verbatim. I'm impressed.
Now, you know our boy eddie.
He just bought $1/2 million in illegal ammo
And also switched his license plates.
You think, uh, maybe he's making a heat run
To make sure nobody follows him back
To our fellow bello? - He should.
- Yeah, he is. Bet your ass on it.
Eat your chili cheese dog.
It's good, huh?
- Yeah, it's good. - Told you.
I've been in with these guys for a couple of months now.
The driver, eddie, idiot that he is,
He always makes the same exact heat run.
Same turns, same cutbacks. Never varies.
- Well, that's pointless.
- Yeah, it is kinda pointless,
But it damn sure makes our day shorter.
- Because you know where he's going.
- Mm-hmm. Matter of fact,
They should be over there in three,
Two, one.
[chuckles]
Give it a second.
Ah, there they are. Must have hit a light.
- Okay, is the tac team gonna hit 'em now?
- No, tac team's not gonna hit 'em.
Watch the show, young jedi.
[tires screech]
[inhales] ooh.
[tires screech]
- Down on the ground! Put your hands up.
- Hey, eat.
- Wait, who are they?
- Oh, that's, uh, bobby moi's guys.
- That's paige's guy?
- Mm-hmm. The same. Mr. Limpdick.
- Get out! Hands on your head!
- Do you know who we are? - Spread your legs.
- Grab the box! Grab the box in the back.
[indistinct shouting]
- Spread your legs. - Are we arresting them?
- Well, I mean, you know, if you want to waltz over there,
Whip out your badge and expose yourself
As a federal agent in front of all those weapons...
- No, sir.
- All right. I mean, are you sure?
I mean, we are witnessing a violent crime
In progress, agent warren.
You might wanna go make a citizen's arrest or something,
Get promoted. - I get it.
[indistinct shouting] [engine starts]
[tires screech]
- Now what?
- Well, now we're gonna go buy our bullets back.
[engine starts]
[siren wails in distance]
- [speaking korean]
- Bobby. - Paulie.
- Uh... Is this place safe?
- Yeah, of course.
Hey, I've seen you before.
- Yeah, I was in here the other night with my girl.
- Oh, yeah.
Pretty little italian piece. - Mm-hmm.
- Great. Now we all know each other.
Tell the tale. - Clockwork.
Would make the swiss jealous.
- [chuckles] look, I got your thousand.
Show me my money. - All right.
Ta-da.
- That's beautiful. - Yeah.
So we got a deal?
- Yeah, we got a deal.
- Pleasure doing business with you, robert.
- Nobody move! - Whoa! Hey! Yo, man!
Wow, bobby, nice move.
- I swear to god, paulie.
- Okay, okay. - I swear to god, paulie.
[indistinct chatter]
- Why didn't you tell me this was your plan?
- You said it yourself back in the jeep.
You don't trust me.
So who were you calling back at the hot dog stand anyway?
- Oh, just messages.
- Messages? - Yep.
- You know, it's funny, I thought maybe for a second
You were tempted to call our little plan in
To the bureau or something.
- I was tempted. - Hmm.
- But I didn't.
- But what if you had called it in and crashed it?
You know, this only worked because all of it worked.
- Yeah, but anything could have gone wrong.
Eddie does a new heat run,
One of bobby's guys shoots somebody.
Those bullets get on the street,
You don't have any control over it.
- Yeah, but it didn't go wrong.
Today was a good day.
Accept that. Revel in it.
'cause not all of 'em are, let me tell you.
I mean, look. Our side won.
Jakes gets his bullets back,
Plus a little slave labor from you.
- My advice to you is to...
- Paige got bobby moi, and you and I,
We held up our end of the deal with bello.
- Well, it's not our fault
His driver messed up and got jacked.
- Hey, not us.
And the best part...
- The bureau gets an extra $1/2 million in cash.
- [laughs] well, almost.
Looks like eddie shorted us.
Dirty little bastard.
See, it pays to trust me.
Tac team, when we're all locked down here,
Me and mike are buying.
[all cheering]
Welcome to my team, mike.
- What's the emergency?
- You didn't call me back.
- You gotta be careful with phones.
- Briggs put me on his bello case.
- That's straight-up excellent, mike.
But that's not why you called.
- No, I called because I thought he was making a play.
He wasn't. You can't underestimate briggs.
He's-- [chuckles]
He hits the trifecta while the rest of us
Are still sizing up the horses.
- That I know. Help me find out what I don't know.
[cell phone chirps]
- [chuckles] it's briggs.
- You're smarter than him, mike.
Hit your own trifecta.
- So you ready to meet the man?
- Yes, I am. - Me too.
This is big-time, mike.
