Will Trent - First Season

Previously, on "Will Trent"...

He did bad things with girls.

What do you mean? Lenny's nice.

Lenny is a pedophile.

He is a good man. He paid his debt.

Why are you protecting him instead of protecting your daughter?

You're a monster.

You need to leave my family alone.

They don't deserve this.

I didn't deserve what you did to me.

Didn't you?

We got a lot in common.

My mother had to go away, and I was even younger than you.

Did she come back?

Of course she did.

Nice work.

20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

Oye!

Get lost, old man.

I'm 34.

CK's crew runs this block.

- Okay, chill. We're leaving. - Leave the stash.

- Go, go, go. - Come on!

Run!

Why'd did you let 'em go?

That's my call.

You run with me, okay?

Not the other way around.

Sorry, boss.

Man, I'm sick of these zoomers.

- These look like our pills. - Yeah, knockoffs.

The imprint's wrong.

- You know who they work for? - Who cares?

We work for CK, me and you.

Bill Black, man of mystery.

When do I get my agent back?

Director Wagner, you ask that question every week.

And every week, I don't like the answer.

That's why I brought donuts this time.

Welcome to our fifth weekly check-in on the Macon operation.

- You can skip this part. - Fine.

The DEA feels that progress has stalled.

What, do you want an apology?

I'm not asking you to put your guy out on a limb.

We've spilled enough blood on this case.

But Macon is drowning.

They don't have the resources to fight a drug lord like CK.

He's always been a step ahead of us.

It's been humbling.

And it's why I came to you for help.

Okay, look, I was going to Macon check-in anyway.

I will talk to Will, but trust takes time.

I appreciate that.

This agent that you lost to CK, was he a family man?

Matthew Menaker.

Wife, three kids.

They're reeling.

There wasn't even a body to send home.

Well, Will's my best agent.

He's going to come through.

Case notes.

It's day 30 under cover.

Still building the reputation of Bill Black to get on CK's radar.

Dante's my only connection to CK.

Hey, Marco.

Guess who's got a nasty right hook?

When he trusts me enough, he'll into me to his boss.

Don't play me.

It's a simple plan for a simple man.

Uh! This guy, right here.

Dante, I need bread.

Can you go to the store?

Then there's Rosa, Dante's cousin.

Dante says she has no idea he works for CK.

Rosa, we're gonna come up to eat.

Oye, I can smell that from here.

- Is that guisado you're making? - Mm-hmm.

Don't you dare come back without that bread.

- Okay. - Hi, Bill.

Can I bring anything?

Just your gorgeous self.

And she has her eye on Bill Black.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, here's your cut.

Tomorrow, I'm making a cash drop to CK. You wanna tag along?

- You're serious? - Yeah. CK wants to meet you.

I've been talking you up, man.

Um, are we, uh, still going to your cousin's for dinner?

- Yeah, yeah. Relax. - I'll see you there.

Hey, head's up. Your PO's here.

Billy Black, you ready for your surprise probation check in?

Do I have a choice?

No.

Here's this week's case notes for you to transcribe.

How's Rosa?

Any fun tea about her on these notes?

I'm actually going to dinner at her place tonight,

so let's wrap this up.

The DEA asked me to light a fire under you while I was here.

They've been breathing down our necks for an ID on CK.

I'm meeting him tomorrow.

- Wait, for real? - Yeah.

Dante's bringing me along for this week's cash drop off.

Well, contact me when you got a name I can run with.

I gotta get something to bring to this dinner.

You really bonded with the community here, huh?

That's the job.

I've been going undercover since I was a kid.

Foster care.

They drop you off some new scary place,

you mimic folks around you in order to survive.

Sometimes you find a friend.

Speaking of, I ran into Angie the other day.

She says hi.

Really?

I think your duffel bag's in the garage.

I'll check.

That's where Nico lives.

Gotta give notice before going in there.

There you are.

Oh, yeah.

So funny thing,

Nico does not consent to a search of their domicile.

So...

That's mine.

- No kidding. - But...

It wasn't for me, I...

I'm clean.

Please, Angie, don't lie to me.

I don't wanna go on this ride again.

There's no ride.

I'm clean.

All right, let's make us both feel better about this.

Okay, here goes.

Great.

Is that the last bag of heroin in Georgia?

Okay, how do I fix this for you, Will?

Go back in time.

Okay? And don't bring drugs into my house.

If it's not for you, then who's it for, huh?

I can't tell you that.

Look, I had a bad idea and I'm over it.

But I'm clean, I'm telling you...

Tell me!

You're lying to me,

and I hate it.

Maybe it's a good thing I'm leaving.

Yeah, maybe it is.

She doing okay?

Seems like it.

She wasn't shocked to know that you've been

thriving out here in Macon with all these criminals.

Just one criminal, all right?

Everyone else is nice, hardworking people.

- Rosa's in nursing school. - Love that for her.

Marcos and his son Diego are Nicaraguan refugees.

Hard to imagine what they've been through.

And now they have you as a neighbor.

Get a good night's sleep, identify CK tomorrow,

and come home. Yeah?

Dante, I hope you got that bread.

Oh, crap. I got busy.

I'll go get it, I'll go get it.

I'll go get it.

I'll go real quick.

Never show up without a gift for the host.

Ah, muah!

Ves, Dante, Bill has manners,

and he didn't even have a mama to teach him.

Sit. I'll bring you guys bowls.

I kept Bill Black's life story close to my own.

Makes it easier to remember.

When Rosa found out Bill Black was an orphan,

she started looking his way a little harder.

Bill Black, you want a beer.

I'm gonna get you a beer.

- Salud, bro. - You must have so much patience

working for my cousin.

I'm grateful.

There's not much work out there for people in my situation.

Rosa, look at this guy. Waiting for you to eat.

Most polite felon I ever seen.

Dante, shut up.

Bill, eat. Don't let it get cold.

Gabriel, I didn't know you were here.

I stopped by to say hi to Dad.

Rosa's brother. Doesn't live around here anymore.

Not much love for Dante or me.

How's he doing?

His breathing was rough this morning.

Yeah, I got him to sit up and take some water.

He was talkative.

Good. Siéntate. You're not leaving without eating.

I'll get you a bowl.

Mmm.

- This is delicious. - Mm, it's a secret family recipe.

You use chicken stock?

- Bone broth. - Hm.

Where'd you learn how to cook?

YouTube.
