Is this a hallucination or a memory?
Marco is the one that has to deal with his captain’s demands. They want the killer caught yesterday. The last person he killed was a big deal on this side of the border. The captain is worried that Marco is too caught up with Sonya to do his job properly.

What better revenge than one unexpected.
Marco and Sonya go out to find his family. If what Sonya suspects is true his family can be in danger. Luckily they’re with family. Sonya needs to know more about his former friend. The man now known as Ken. Marco explains how methodically the guy was. But that was before the accident. The one where he lost his own family.

The only person safe from Ken is Gus. He’s most likely due to chat up girls when his family went on their little trip. Still he’s surprised. His dad swore they had the guy before. For that to be false the little girls with Ken can be in serious danger. The cops found Ken’s den of evil and as they’re there, Ken has taken Marco’s family to a deserted cabin. It’s literally out in the middle of nowhere.
He tells Alma he has a surprised. She closes her eyes and when she opens them she finds a grenade in her hand. He locks her in with the girls and flees despite her screams for help and mercy. She can’t drop the bomb. Not with her kids inside.
Gus realized that he has to tell his dad about his chat earlier with Zena. He thought he was texting her details of the case but she didn’t know anything about that. He was giving away details to someone else. He inadvertently helped Ken. They set up a bust but Ken is too smart not to notice the police van. He sends in a distraction and makes his escape.

Sonya was with Gus when they got the happy news about his family. She was giving him a ride when they both came to the conclusion that Ken was done. It wouldn’t make sense for him to be done.
