RECAP

Hondo’s old friend Leroy was there when a couple of beat cops started hassling a homeless man and Leroy tried to defuse the situation. He told the cops that Dave wasn’t a threat. He was a vet. He was troubled.

He doesn’t mean anything by grabbing his stick for protection and they still hauled Dave off to prison. Luckily, Hondo was there to stop Leroy from getting arrested as well.

He was doing some work on the side and he figured he’d use his contacts from the cartel to move items, but he never went into the specifics or got any names. The raid that brought him down also saw to the death of a police officer and that death was hitting Tan hard. He worked with the woman that was killed. It wasn’t anyone on the team but it still affected him because the officer was pregnant. She just found out. She didn’t want to come off the raid because she didn’t want to leave the job half finished and so Tan found out about by talking to her widow.
