S04E15 False Witness

During a car theft for a chop shop, Jose (Joey) unexpectedly crosses paths with Gary, who is brought in by the police to identify suspects in a lineup. Upon recognizing Joey as Miguel's younger brother, Gary chooses to deny knowing him, aiming to shield his friend. Despite Joey's vow to abandon crime, his partner coerces him into committing another theft, which escalates into violence when the car's owner is shot and Gary is taken captive. As Gary tries to persuade Joey to leave his criminal life behind, he sustains a gunshot wound, reflecting on whether he should have revealed Joey's connection earlier, preventing the ensuing chaos.
