"It's all right." Voight voiced. Belden walked over to Pulpo.

"Conjugal visits? Has he got a girl on the side?" Erin asked Voight.

"Find out. We can use whatever leverage we can get." Voight said.

"Yeah, okay. I know just the guy. He's a hacker I busted a year ago. He's under house arrest." Jay suggested.

"Perfect. Go." Erin and Jay left. Voight turned back to Pulpo, "Munoz." He demanded.

"As you may know, I'm still a criminal, a shot caller... yes?... to the eyes of the people in prison, which is why the idea of pulling me out for a fake surgery was so smart. Thanks for that, Lieutenant Belden. How do you say in English what I'm getting removed?" He asked.

"Gallbladder." Belden answered.

"Ah! Yes. Vesicula biliar in espanol..." Voight stopped his rambling by punching him in the face.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Belden shouted.

"Munoz. Right now." Voight demanded.

"Of course. Um... I'm gonna need a cell phone, por favor." Pulpo requested.

Voight held the phone to Pulpo's ear as he talked to whoever he was talking to, "Okay. But I want my own guy. Because I said so. His name is Tico. He can be trusted. Okay. Hey, I got to go. Guards are gonna come soon, and I gotta hide the phone." He looked over at Antonio and winked, "Bueno." He said something in Spanish before nodding and Voight hung the phone up.

"Who's this Tico you're sending over?" Antonio asked.

"You," Pulpo responded with a shrug, as of it was obvious.

"The Latin discount plazas. At any given time, a tractor-trailer full of drugs is being dropped off at one of these 30 malls. The police never know which one." Pulpo explained.

"Neither do the traffickers. That way if anybody gets arrested, nobody can lead the cops back to the bosses." Sumner added.

"Oh, but my connection knows, and he says there's a shipment coming from Indiana today, and so here we go... Antonio goes to meet my guy. El Vaquero... the cowboy, if you will. El vaquero will give you the truck to drive. At the pick-up will be Marcos Robles. Robles is a high-level capo who's in charge of these drugs, and it will be there, Damas y Caballeros, where Gustav Munoz will be to get his cut. Easy as uno, dos, tres." He snapped.

"Hey, come here." Pulpo walked back into the cell, "All the names match, so... pretty long sheets, especially with Robles. All Colombian descent, so pretty legit." Al explained.

"You up for this? I can pull another cop to go undercover." Voight told Antonio.

"I'll do it." Adam volunteered.

"Yeah? How's your Spanish?" Voight asked.

"No bueno." He answered.

"Munoz knows what you look like. You two went to fisticuffs." Al pointed out.

"I'm doing it. That way if it goes south, I have an excuse to break Pulpo's neck." Antonio nodded.

"This goes any different than Uno, dos, tres..."

"No need to finish your threat, okay? I completely understand the situation I'm in." Pulpo cut Voight off and looked behind Voight to Antonio, "Antonio. When you see the cowboy, tell him that Pulpo says Happy Birthday, then he'll know you're good." Pulpo told him.
