Summary

 * “The Big One”

Jordan is driving to River Jordan Camp with a captive Lumen Pierce in the trunk. Her grunting, thumping, and kicking becomes an issue while he waits at a stoplight. A nearby fruit vendor recognizes him and shouts, “Jordan Chase!” Groaning, Jordan ignores him. The thudding and muffled yelling continue as the vendor approaches his car. Jordan looks at the red light and grumbles, “Come on, come on.”

The noises in the trunk are noticed by the vendor. He tries to get Jordan’s attention, finally asking,“Hey... ¿Qué coño es eso?” [translated as “What the fuck is that?”] When the light changes, Jordan speeds off and finds a place to pull over. He jumps out, opens the trunk, and knocks Lumen out.

Later, while Debra Morgan is in her office, an officer brings her a stake-and-notify report. He says a street vendor spotted Jordan Chase up by Muralia Road. The weird thing is, he heard noises

Debra drives to the street vendor’s location to learn more, but they struggle to communicate. The vendor, while speaking in Spanish, points to the traffic light and says Jordan’s name.

"Vendor: “Jordan Chase.” Debra: “He was waiting for the traffic light?” Vendor: “Si.” Debra: “And what about the noise in the trunk? ...I fucking swear I'm taking Spanish after this. The -- the sound in the, uh, uh, ‘trunko’?” Vendor: “Oh, si. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.” Debra: “Bang, bang, bang, from the trunk?” Vendor: “Si.” Debra: “Which -- which way did -- Uh, uh, donde fue? What's down that way? Que?” Vendor: “A campamento.” Debra: “A camp?” Vendor: “Si, camp.” Debra: “Thank you. Uh, gracias.”"
