02. No Balm Found

Hours after the bloodshed in the woods, a panicked Reggie smuggles a delirious, heavily bleeding Marcus into a abandoned basement apartment on the outskirts of Newark. Reggie is forced to blackmail a terrified street doctor to perform an agonizing surgery on Marcus's wounds without anesthesia. As Marcus drifts between consciousness and sweating, horrific nightmares of Desmond, Corey, Daniel and Mac, Paul uses the fallout of Corey’s murder to bypass local red tape, convincing a federal task force to plaster Marcus and Reggie’s faces across the national news. Meanwhile, a traumatized Nicole is subjected to a FBI interrogation, having to lie about what her husband has done and what she has done, since she was once in the drug business too.
