00:00Listen, I'm calling to offer you a job as a paid C.I. part-time.
00:07You know where you are?
00:08Yeah, sure, why?
00:09Watch out for the dog.
00:11Are you lost?
00:13Make sure that I never see you again.
00:16What is wrong with you?
00:20Can you not get into a car like a normal person?
00:23I met a biker from up near Richmond.
00:25He calls himself the Devil.
00:27He tells me Virginia's an outlaw state.
00:29What cost?
00:30Is that C.I. job still available?
00:45Sometimes I have this dark nightmare.
00:49I'm right back where I started.
00:52Back undercover in another biker gang.
00:56Looking over my shoulder, waiting for the bullet that has my name on it.
01:02Except this time it doesn't feel like a dream.
01:06It feels real.
01:19They say better the devil you know.
01:22But the devil I know?
01:24I've got a feeling he knows me better than I know myself.
01:28More on the truth, boys.
01:32And now he wants to show me who I really am.
01:55You've got to break down.
01:57You've got to blow it up.
01:58You've got to break the hull.
02:00You've got to pull the plug.
02:01Or you can run away.
02:02Or you can kill a priest.
02:04Or you can try to kill yourself, but you can never kill me.
02:07Hey, if this is how the world will end, you can burn it again.
02:14Because we will not go quietly.
02:18Go quietly.
02:22Give me a second.
02:37Boss.
02:38You got a pen handy, Charlie?
02:41Just give me one sec.
02:43Hold on.
02:44Okay.
02:451-9-5-3-8 Gormley Road.
02:48Okay.
02:49What's that?
02:50Your destiny.
02:52What?
02:53I'm kidding.
02:54I talked to my buddy about you.
02:55He wants to meet you.
02:57So I'm in?
02:58But he hates you.
02:59Why would he hate me?
03:01He hates everybody.
03:02Charlie.
03:05Six o'clock, can you be there?
03:07Petersburg, tonight.
03:08Don't be late.
03:09He hates late.
03:12We're on the clock here, buddy.
03:13Sorry, Mike.
03:14It's a call from home.
03:20Hey.
03:23Charlie.
03:25Still rocking that death wish?
03:28Just a bicycle.
03:29It's just your head.
03:31Oh well.
03:32Um, I've been meaning to call you.
03:35Don't apologize.
03:36I only gave you my number in case you wanted to talk.
03:39Things must be going good, huh?
03:41Better.
03:42Thanks for asking.
03:45What?
03:46What, what?
03:49You, um, you want to do something sometime?
03:52I'm not going on a date with you.
03:54All right.
03:55Well, how about a bike ride then?
03:56Bike rides aren't dates.
04:04So here I am.
04:0519-538 Cormley Road.
04:10So here I am.
04:1119-538 Cormley Road.
04:14Just outside of Petersburg.
04:16Narrow Western Virginia beach.
04:18This is a different kind of Virginia.
04:21Used to be tobacco country.
04:23These days, much of it feels like a world that got left behind.
04:27I don't even know what I'm doing here.
04:30Getting myself in trouble, most likely.
04:33Hey, Carson.
04:34You're Charlie Conn?
04:35Right.
04:36Come in.
04:38Connor's here.
04:43I'm Meredith Jones.
04:45ATF field operations management.
04:47And this is our special agent.
04:49Bullet.
04:52We met before?
04:54No, I don't think so.
04:56Come on, take a seat, Charlie.
05:01So you're in Virginia beach?
05:03Yeah, I took the bus over here.
05:06Well, thanks for coming to meet us.
05:08Kaz says you'd be interested in working as a confidential informant?
05:12Yeah, Kaz was my handler for three years back when I infiltrated the...
05:15Yeah, we know.
05:18You're in witness protection, right?
05:20Uh-huh.
05:22So what's up? You bored?
05:25Hoping this might be a way to get some excitement back in your life?
05:29Yeah, would Kaz tell you that?
05:31No.
05:32Did he explain what we're doing?
05:34He said he got an operation going out here.
05:36Okay, well.
05:37It's an offshoot of a larger investigation into the Mongols.
05:40Called Operation Black, right?
05:42Bullet infiltrated a club in California and now he's been transferred here.
05:47Okay.
05:48So why the move?
05:52My Mongol's chapter boss, a guy named Stubby.
05:55He's with the Navy.
05:56Last year he gets transferred to Norfolk.
05:59Wants me to help him start up a new chapter.
06:01So here we are.
06:03So where's Stubby now?
06:05On an aircraft carrier for the next 18 months.
06:07Which makes me the only Mongol in town.
06:11Okay.
06:13So who are you infiltrating?
06:15This isn't like your little deal with the Vagos, Charlie.
06:20We're playing for bigger stakes here.
06:25It just so happens that Petersburg's in the middle of a biker war over drugs and territory.
06:30We've got outlaws and pagans on one side, maggots on the other.
06:34Whose side are the Mongols on?
06:36Outlaws and pagans.
06:38At least most of the time.
06:40The point is, as Mongols, we get to work all the clubs across the state.
06:48So, how would I fit in?
06:50You'd be Bullet's prospect.
06:53You know the drill.
06:55Make some friends, do some business, buy drugs, guns, usual rope-a-dope deals.
07:01The main thing is to build trust, get deeper in the game.
07:07How long do you expect this to run?
07:09Another year or so.
07:11Maybe longer.
07:12We're in this for the long haul, Charlie.
07:14Kaz and I have been inside the Mongols for a long time.
07:17Kaz is a Mongol?
07:19Sergeant-at-arms.
07:21Full patch member since 2002.
07:25Nah, he was my handler back then.
07:27He never mentioned his day job.
07:36So, what do I gotta do to get the gig?
07:40Kaz vouched for you.
07:42That's good enough for me.
07:46Given your status in witness protection, we can't offer you anything official.
07:49It'll just be cash payment for the hours worked.
07:53Oh, yeah. Kaz said something about a bike.
08:13Wow, that looks like an ATF bike.
08:21That looks like one, too.
08:24We can blame the guy we confiscated it from.
08:34You're facing 20-odd years in prison.
08:38You're facing 20-odd years for cooking meth, right?
08:41Uh-huh.
08:43I guess that's how I know you. We did business together.
08:46How about we call you Chef?
08:48Chef.
08:50Sure, sounds good.
08:52Need a refresher in riding?
09:08Well, at least he looks the part.
09:10Who needs to do more than look it?
09:20Where'd you get this?
09:22Just bought it.
09:24How'd you swing that?
09:26God, let me take it on credit.
09:28Is it all right if I work on it after hours?
09:30Yeah, as long as it's on your own time.
09:32Listen, Charlie, weird thing.
09:35When I sent in your Social Security info...
09:38Is there a problem?
09:40No, not at all.
09:42It's just that the IRS called to double-check on your age
09:44because the number they issued you was brand new.
09:47I cleared it all up, but, Charlie,
09:49why'd you tell me you lost your Social Security card
09:52when you never even had one before?
09:54I'm sorry, Mike.
09:56Why'd you lie to me?
10:00It's embarrassing.
10:02It's embarrassing, that's why.
10:04I only ever worked cash jobs up until now.
10:06About your whole life?
10:08I don't know. My daddy was in the Army,
10:10and we grew up in bases in Europe,
10:12and by the time I got back, I was done high school,
10:14so I just worked jobs under the table,
10:16and, you know, I was just trying to stay ahead of the tax man.
10:19Anyway, I figured I'd come out of the shadows,
10:21so I finally applied for a number.
10:23Where was your dad stationed over there?
10:25In Germany, mostly.
10:27Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:29My brother was stationed in Mannheim. Were you there?
10:31No, I'm pretty far from there.
10:33Well, whereabouts?
10:35My brother took me all over the country.
10:37Ah...
10:39It was Schweing...
10:41Gartendorf.
10:44Schweingartendorf.
10:46Never heard of it.
10:48Whereabouts is that?
10:50It's near the border.
10:52Oh, yeah, yeah. Which one?
10:54Hey, you want me to get that?
10:56No, no, no, no, no. I got it.
10:58Cool. I better get back.
11:01Come on.
11:31Let's go.
11:53Nice.
11:55This your house?
11:57No, I just rent a room off some friends.
12:00I can't keep up with you on that.
12:02Well, you know, you gotta pedal real fast.
12:04Think I'm gonna get on that thing with you?
12:30Yeah.
12:46I'm just gonna put this out there.
12:50On the surface,
12:52this must seem pretty reckless to me.
12:54What?
13:01Riding out to the beach on the back of a Harley
13:03with an ex-biker who's just been in two fights.
13:07Well, you can always run away screaming.
13:10Maybe I'm too curious.
13:12What about?
13:14You.
13:17I can't tell if you're a wolf in sheep's clothing
13:20or vice versa.
13:24What, a sheep in wolf's clothing?
13:28Yeah.
13:30Well, I'm just gonna put this out there.
13:33I'm gonna miss you when you move to Savannah.
13:36Oh, really?
13:38Yeah, at the diner.
13:40The food's incredible, obviously,
13:42but the main draw is the first-rate service.
13:44Nothing else, huh?
13:46Is there anything you're gonna miss...
13:50around here?
13:53Turn your head a bit.
13:59I want to see your profile.
14:03Now the other.
14:07It's weird.
14:09What?
14:11Have a good side and a bad side?
14:14Two bad sides?
14:16What's so weird?
14:18Just how I keep breaking the promises I make myself.
14:41So you got your cuts.
14:43That's good.
14:45So you got your cuts.
14:47That's good.
14:49You gonna tell me where we're going?
14:51We are going up to see the devil.
14:53See the devil.
14:55What is that?
14:57Is that ATF speak for some hazing bullshit
14:59you're about to put me through?
15:01No.
15:03We're going to see the regional boss of the outlaws.
15:05He calls himself the devil.
15:07You gonna tell me why we're going?
15:09It's a courtesy thing.
15:11If I'm gonna expand my chapter,
15:13we're due there in 20.
15:15How far are we going?
15:17Just north of Richmond.
15:19That's more like 40.
15:21Try to keep up.
15:43You always ride like that?
15:45Like what?
15:55Here to see the devil?
15:57Have a seat over there.
16:13You bill it?
16:21Wait there.
16:33It's a nice clubhouse.
16:43Come on.
16:53Wasting your time talking to him.
16:55Foghorn don't talk.
16:57Not since he got stabbed in the throat by a maggot.
17:01So...
17:03you finally pay me a formal visit.
17:09But not before you get all buddy with the pagans.
17:12I didn't hear that.
17:14Me and Crowbar talk every Sunday.
17:18Yeah, he said you two have an understanding.
17:20Yeah.
17:22He knows it's a short road from allies to enemies.
17:25So he keeps me informed.
17:29You're here to tell me stubby's out.
17:32You're a chapter boss, and you got plans to expand.
17:35Anything Crowbar forget to mention?
17:37Never said you had a new probate.
17:39This is Chef.
17:42Well, since we're making introductions.
17:46That's my sergeant in arms, Sniper.
17:49Our mute friend, Foghorn.
17:52And the idiot carving my table.
17:54Could you just stop that?
17:57That's Sputnik.
17:59He's raised by wolves or some shit in Russia.
18:02Beer it's comrade.
18:04Sit.
18:07Not you probate.
18:12So you want my blessing to build up,
18:15and ride out of Petersburg.
18:17Stay out of your way.
18:19We side with you against the maggots.
18:21Can even talk every Sunday if you want.
18:24Yeah.
18:26I like you.
18:29You know how to run your show.
18:31But you got to remember,
18:33who's in charge of the big picture?
18:37Who's in charge of the big picture?
18:41What the hell are you staring at?
18:46I asked you a question, probate.
18:49What are you staring at?
18:56You just remind me of someone.
19:00Is that so?
19:03Come here.
19:13I can't think of who I'd remind you of.
19:16Because there's only one of me.
19:19Who am I?
19:22The devil.
19:25Correct.
19:28Oh.
19:30And that's so you never forget.
19:36So, I appreciate the courtesy call.
19:40I'll give you my blessing.
19:42Under one condition.
19:47When I call, you answer.
19:52When I say you ride with us, you ride.
19:58When I ask your support, you give it.
20:09Done.
20:11Well, then put her there.
20:19Show her.
20:28You'll be hearing from me.
20:30Real soon.
20:37Can't tell her that go well.
20:39You can still talk, can't you?
20:52See that? That was your fault.
20:54Just one more second.
20:56Can you just stand there like that?
20:58I want to get that band-aid just right.
21:01That must have been one hell of a shaving cut.
21:04Don't be so self-conscious.
21:06No one's ever drawn me before.
21:08Just be thankful you're not being quartered, too.
21:12Relax.
21:14I'm just trying to capture the real you.
21:16Oh, yeah? You think you're that good?
21:19Let me take a look.
21:20No, not until I'm done.
21:22Let me see it.
21:24Oh, look at that.
21:27What's the verdict?
21:29You know what?
21:31You're really good.
21:33But?
21:35But you really see my nose as that big?
21:39That's just how I see it.
21:41So you see me as Pinocchio?
21:48Bullet.
21:50Now?
21:53Like, right now.
21:56Okay.
21:59Is something wrong?
22:16I'm sorry.
22:18It's okay. I got it.
22:20It's a work emergency.
22:23Unless it's a hotter date.
22:26Hotter than you?
22:28How's that even possible?
22:50I've been summoned to Bullet's place, and by the looks of things, I'm not the only one.
22:54Hey, Sputnik.
23:00The Devil's already calling on us to show our support for the Outlaws by running with them.
23:08The Devil's supposed to be our ally.
23:11So why don't I feel safe?
23:15How many?
23:17You sure?
23:19Hagen's here, too.
23:21Did not want to see them.
23:31Is he serious about this?
23:33Yeah. Look, it's a test. Just go with it.
23:37All right, listen up!
23:41We have a maggot sighting downtown!
23:44A bar called the Cock Tavern!
23:47Don't mind the name.
23:49Since our pagan friends can't seem to control the infestation,
23:55we're gonna do our new mongrel friends a solid
23:59and drive these maggots out of town!
24:03Let's go get a slice of maggot pie!
24:09Welcome to the party, pro-beast.
24:18Chef, let's go.
24:20Let's see what you're made of!
24:25Listen, Bullet, that pagan boss...
24:27Robart, just a sec.
24:29Meredith, I've been trying to call you.
24:31Look, I need your eyes on a place called the Cock Tavern.
24:35The Outlaws are planning an ambush on a maggot bar.
24:38No, no, no, no. Listen, don't call the cops, okay?
24:40We're in. Just get yourself there and stand by.
24:43Listen, man, I gotta talk to you about this guy.
24:45Stick close, okay?
24:53Think about bikers.
24:55Territory's everything.
24:57The maggots claim Petersburg's theirs.
24:59But the Devil and his Outlaws, they want to change all of that.
25:03This could get ugly.
25:05So why am I even here?
25:45How's it looking?
25:46Not sure how many are in there.
25:48At least two maggots shooting pool.
25:50Let's do a little reconnaissance.
25:52A couple of you guys go in there, slick back.
25:55Crowbar, how about you?
25:59All right.
26:01And, uh, you.
26:04Mongo, probate.
26:06You go with him.
26:08Let us know how many there are in there.
26:11If there's just a couple,
26:13then sniper, bullets.
26:15You go in wearing your cuts.
26:17You'll be the bait.
26:19Chances are the maggots will call their buddies.
26:22And as soon as they think that they've got you outnumbered,
26:25that's when we come in.
26:27Get this party started for real.
26:31That's all you're waiting for. Get going.
26:36Go.
26:39There it is. Let's go.
27:02It's gonna be a turkey shoot.
27:06Bullet never told me nothing about having no probate.
27:09Yeah, well, I just got in from L.A.
27:11L.A.?
27:13I think I've seen you.
27:22Beef, jerky, my bar.
27:26You were feeding my dog.
27:28That was you.
27:30That was me.
27:32You were feeding my dog.
27:34That was you.
27:47You want to tell me why Bullet has you spying on me
27:49out of nowhere?
27:51Spying on you?
27:53You walked in not one minute after he walks out.
27:56What's that about? What's that about?
27:58Look, I don't...
28:00I didn't talk to him that day, okay?
28:02I didn't even know he was there.
28:04Look, do you really want to do this now?
28:12I didn't think so.
28:31You gonna make me dare you to drink that?
28:36Funny guy.
28:39Bullet, go.
28:52Chef.
28:54I don't know why they call you Chef.
28:56Chef.
28:58I don't know why they call you Chef.
29:00Because I used to cook meth.
29:03Yeah, bullshit.
29:08Seriously?
29:10Yeah.
29:12Why they call you Crowbar?
29:16You want to find out?
29:27Keep yours.
29:40What are you staring at, maggots?
29:57Shit.
30:02Shit.
30:27Get away from my door.
30:29Your door?
30:31Them boys must be lost.
30:34This is an outlaws bar.
30:36In an outlaws town.
30:38In an outlaws state.
30:40Razor, right?
30:43You running the show now?
30:45Yeah.
30:47You know, I don't know what you're talking about.
30:49I don't know what you're talking about.
30:51I don't know what you're talking about.
30:53I don't know what you're talking about.
30:55You running the show now?
30:57Remind me, what happened to your old boss?
31:02Out of my way, you little freak.
31:17Let's line them up, boys!
31:20Is everybody in now?
31:29Seems we got a misunderstanding.
31:31Can't think of any other reason
31:33why you'd be in an outlaws bar
31:35wearing maggot patches.
31:38Tell you what.
31:40Take them off right now,
31:42and you'll still get to walk out of here.
31:44Guess I'll have to come off the hard way.
32:14Ah!
32:17Ah!
32:20Ah!
32:44Was I unclear?
32:46This town is under new management.
32:48What are you gonna do?
32:50Shoot us all?
32:52No.
32:54Just you.
32:56Unless you clear out in five,
32:58four,

40:01You okay there?
40:03Yeah.
40:06You?
40:09What was that business with Crowbar?
40:14Went into that Pagan's bar.
40:17He was there. It didn't go well.
40:22You can't keep stuff like that from me, Chef.
40:25It could cost us.
40:27I...
40:28Pull it!
40:34Pull it!
40:41What the hell was that?
40:43I'd call it a good start.
40:45That was ground for multiple arrests.
40:47Well, they're playing for bigger stakes.
40:49And so are we.
40:55I'm guessing that was more than you bargained for?
40:59Yeah.
41:01I saw a lot of shit in the Vagos, but...
41:04nothing like that.
41:07Are you guys sure we're on the right side
41:09of getting involved with the outlaws?
41:13There's no right side, Chef.
41:15There's us. There's criminals.
41:17There's evidence. That's it.
41:21Yeah.
41:22I caused you to say,
41:23law enforcement is like chess.
41:26There's no checkmate.
41:27There's only check.
41:29Trust me.
41:31There's going to be checkmate, all right?
41:33It's just going to take plenty of moves to get there.
41:35And if you want to keep playing,
41:36I'll need your help with the next one.
41:39Oh, yeah? What's that?
41:41Getting you patched.
41:44So, go ahead. Patch me in.
41:48For that, I'm going to have to go back to L.A.
41:51And I'll need you to come with me.
41:55You do know why I had to leave, right?
41:57Club politics. They're going to need to vet you.
42:01Why don't you sleep on it?
42:03You don't have to answer no.
42:05Right.
42:07Like I'm going to sleep.
42:12Chef.
42:17You did good tonight.
42:20So, what do I really want?
42:26Am I just making a deal with Adele?
42:49This feels like a dream I've had before.
42:53And now, I need to find out how it ends.
43:19You
