Deb is sitting in her car, watching (from afar) Anton standing on a suburban street. She looks troubled as she slowly eases up to where he is. He sees her and walks up to the passenger's side window, where she sternly tells him to get it. He asks her what's so important she has to see him at the "ass crack of dawn." She asks him if he has any out of town relatives. He jokingly asks her if she wants to take a vacation with him. She's not in a kidding mood, so he asks her what the issue is. She tells him that she heard a "rumor" that he knew where Freebo is. He tells her that she knows that isn't true. Well, she heard this "rumor" and the other cops heard the same "rumor." He's annoyed -- this means that The Skinner will be looking for him and the only connection he has to Freebo is helping Deb (which no one but the police knows about). Deb just kind of stares at him and he gets it -- he's being set up. She tearfully says that she wants him to survive... because she doesn't want to lose a good CI. He says that it won't help her case if he leaves, but she thinks he should go anyway. He agrees to take off. He leans in and tells her to watch her mouth and she tells him to fuck off. This, people, is love. He gets out of the car and she watches him walk away.
