Summary

 * “Our Father”

Officer Debra Morgan is trying to track down Freebo, the suspected killer of Oscar Prado. To help her, Detective Joey Quinn, gives her a phone number for his C.I., Anton Briggs. He tells her to remember that he did her a “solid.”

Debra arranges to meet Anton at the cafe. It’s a nice day and people are enjoying the sun and sand. Some are gathered at tables, eating and drinking or playing dominoes. A small sign glimpsed on a nearby wall reads Taqueria, next to a short menu.

Debra sees Anton playing his guitar, and joins him on his bench. She shows him a photo of her suspect, Freebo, expecting Anton to give her details about him. Instead, he insists he doesn’t know Freebo but recognizes him from news reports for getting off for killing two coeds. Anton teases Deb about that being a “fine piece of police work.”

When Anton offers no helpful information, Deb angrily accuses him and Quinn of fucking with her. Anton tells Deb that he’s got a man down the street that can help her temper with “real mellow weed.” Deb states that she doesn’t take advice from drug dealers. Anton admits he is a drug user but says it’s strictly weed, occasionally. She asks how he became Quinn’s snitch and he says he was caught up in a drug bust. At the time, Quinn him if he blew the whistle on a bigger fish, he’d stay out of jail. Deb remarks that it wouldn’t hurt for a drug user to have more than one friend on the force, but Anton says he has enough friends. As she's about to walk away, Debra turns around and shows him a photo of Oscar Prado.

Debra returns to the station where she excitedly and loudly tells the team that Oscar was into drugs and owed money to Freebo. Unfortunately, Oscar’s elder brother, ADA Miguel Prado, overhears her. Because of this, Deb is taken off the case and she’s not happy about it.
