Ruiz and Cross find the car abandoned along one of the driveways in a large cemetery, with the passenger door and the trunk lid open. There's a uniformed El Paso cop who says a gravedigger called it in, but upon a cursory examination the car appears free of clues, let alone sons. This is a bit flummoxing. Ruiz looks around, and after he spots some freshly disturbed soil under a tree with a grocery-store bouquet resting on it about fifty yards away, he sprints over to it and starts digging at the loose dirt with his hands. Cross follows as quickly as she can, given her wounds, and tells him it's not Gus. "It's just a grave. He's playing with you." Ruiz, too exhausted and frazzled to resist being over-dramatic then howls, "I am a man! A father! This is not a game!" Well, it is to Tate, and he's kicking Ruiz's ass at it. Cross gets him up and says they won't stop, and she leads him away. Wow, they'd better hope she's right.
Charlotte and Ray come out of the El Paso County Courthouse, and she's clearly very upset at what Ray describes as "kind of a curve ball." Charlotte says it's a "curve of my ass ball," which I don't believe is a thing. "More like a slider then, I guess," tries Ray, who clearly knows more about baseball than I do. They must be leaving the reading of Karl's will, because as Charlotte lights a cigarette, she complains that Karl left her nothing. "He left you the house and land," Ray reminds her. Charlotte freaks that her stepdaughter Kate got everything else, including the money, the cars, the art, and the furniture. Ray reminds her that she got what counts: the tunnel. This is going to be super-lucrative now that her partner at the other end is dead and the ATF probably knows exactly where it is.
Kate breezes past them, saying, "That went super well, I thought." Charlotte blames Kate for turning Karl against her, so Kate laughs and tells a story about a time when her father called her in the middle of the night and called it "just another day married to an idiot." This was eight years ago, so Kate's point is that Charlotte turned Karl against her all by herself. And Kate's been saving up this story ever since? How restrained of her. She says, "Bye, whore," and is on her way. Ray says, "Adios, Kate," in what I'm sure he thinks is a tough kis-off, and tells Charlotte to forget her. "We've got the tunnel." He says they'll solve the Tim problem this afternoon and they'll be fine. I can't wait to see what their solution is going to be.
