Episode 10: Party Line
With Shane and Mara safely hidden in a vacant house for the time being, Vic asks Stella Sewell for information about her daughter before offering the Byz Lat's Santi Galas a $10,000 reward for finding them. Worried about their past misdeeds being disclosed, Ronnie tells Vic that he is thinking about running. But when Vic pleads for a more time to catch Diego Beltran, Ronnie agrees to wait.
Refocusing his efforts, Vic is meeting with Pezuela and Beltran when Aceveda arrives to say that he is now calling the shots in his mayoral campaign. And to ensure that he isn't seen as an errand boy and to prove to Vic that he isn't about to back down, Aceveda threatens Pezuela in front of Beltran. Meanwhile, as Dutch and Claudette promise to protect Corrine in exchange for her cooperation, Shane and Mara plan to leave the country.
After sending Ronnie and Billings to interview a trio of cleaning women suspected in the murder of their employer, Claudette and Dutch are monitoring Corrine's phone when Vic shows up unannounced. Warning Corrine of the danger, Dutch asks her to play along so he can use an open phone line to overhear what Vic says. Meanwhile, as Beltran wants Vic to prove his loyalty by killing Pezuela, an estate agent's attempt to show the house where they are hiding forces Shane and Mara to flee.
Admitting that he's been sent to kill him, Vic convinces Pezuela to turn over Olivia's intel file and to cooperate in exposing Beltran. And as Shane and Mara are ripped off by gangsters who threaten to turn them in, Billings finds that a suspect's phony claim about being propositioned for sex drove her jealous boyfriend to kill her boss. Finally, after Vic makes it look like Pezuela committed suicide, Beltran says he won't interfere with Aceveda's mayoral campaign -- so long as he wins. And as Shane gives Vic twenty-four hours to have Corrine deliver $100,000 or risk having their secrets exposed, Claudette offers Mara leniency if her husband surrenders.
