Summary

As Ned goes deeper undercover with Toby, making busts and infiltrating biker gangs, his wife Kathy begins to worry that things are going too far. But Ned is hooked, hearing chatter about a smuggling syndicate, a massive drug warehouse, and a source nicknamed Shine, who might have intel on the whole operation. Meanwhile, down in Louisiana, an abandoned smuggling barge turns up, and local authorities find a single clue: the name Shine, etched into a notepad belonging to the smugglers.

The first version of Ned’s unpublished novel was written by James Coyne and edited by Andrea McLaughlin. Voice acting by Walton Goggins.

1:17.0	Tell me what he's smoking.
1:20.1	Ned heard that this pot might be headed to a storage facility somewhere in Detroit, the
1:25.2	El Dorado of Stash Houses. Over at the FBI, Ned's bosses had their doubts, but Ned stayed

1:47.6	a checklist of what I would do. I always had a gun, obviously, and here I was looking
1:57.5	half the time I turned around and those guys had guns and they're not supposed to.
2:02.0	Ned's main informant was still Toby Anderson, the violent, erratic, biker-slash country-western
