Petty Cash (Starring Benito Martinez Jay Karnes Michael Jace Catherine Dent David Rees Snell Walton Goggins Michael Chiklis Cathy Cahlin Ryan David Marciano CCH Pounder)

As Mara fools Claudette into believing that she is accepting her deal, Corrine agrees to act as the go-between to deliver $100,000 to Shane. Deflecting Aceveda’s inquiries about Pezuela, Vic turns to Beltran with an offer to negotiate a drug distribution deal with the city’s black gangs. And by promising to give Olivia the intel file on her, Vic hopes to get a deal for him and Ronnie to work with the feds. Worried that Shane has followed through on his threat, Ronnie enlists Billings to watch Claudette’s mail for a letter detailing the Strike Team’s crimes. Meanwhile, as Vic presents Beltran’s proposal to the gangs while scamming them for $100,000 to pay off Shane, Ronnie and Julien investigate the shooting death of top college football prospect Cardell Rhodes. Moving ahead with their plan, Dutch and Claudette prepare Corrine to hand off the cash to Shane. Yet, after negotiating a deal for the cartel, Vic must rethink his own scheme when Beltran’s lieutenants insist he return to see their boss at once. And after Vic sends Ronnie to deliver the cash, Mara never shows, forcing Dutch and Claudette to call off their sting. Meanwhile, Ronnie suspects that Cardell’s death is tied to his involvement with a local gang. And after Shane narrowly avoids being arrested while trying to rob a small-time drug dealer, Mara hatches a plan to get some money by breaking into a former employer’s safe. News that the required autopsy was never performed before his body was sent to Mexico leads Aceveda to conclude that Pezuela’s suicide was a trick. And knowing how Pezuela’s working with the government could undermine his mayoral campaign, Aceveda gets Vic to cooperate by threatening to expose him. After pressing the neighbors, Julien and Ronnie learn that the bullet that struck Cardell was actually meant for a college recruiter who pulled the plug on another student’s scholarship a year earlier. Finally, though he and Mara rob a real estate office of some checks, Shane’s fugitive status limits his ability to turn them into cash. And after giving the file to Olivia and then learning that Shane’s threat to send a letter to Claudette was a hoax, Vic tries to shore up a deal with the feds by introducing Ronnie to Beltran. © 2008 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
