Harlee is furious when they arrest a kid who turns out to be Cristina's boyfriend.
Wozniak walks in busting Tess and Carlos in bed, and puts a stop to it.
Wozniak finds out that his white cop lied - actually he likes a Brazilian girl and pays a prostitute to teach him portuguese, and then Wozniak sees him with a man - he pays him to teach him to cook Portuguese dishes - Wozniak is so paranoid now that every lie seems to hide a betrayal.
Miguel sees Harlee in prison and he asks for her help.

Undiscovered country - Good cop, bad cop - Live wire act
Wozniak tells Harlee that he tried to save Sap after she goes on the ambulance to the hospital. Harlee tells the Fbi that it wasn't Wozniak. At the hospital Wozniak tells Saap, "give in, let go so I don't have to kill you twice".
Saap's mom tells Wozniak of the 'men' that wanted to take him away.
Harlee tells the DA, "I'm not a good person, you should stay away from me"
Later Wozniak confesses to Harlee that "he can never wake up" and "I did what I had to do".
He wants her help to kill him for good but she refuses. She says, "I forgive you, I understand, but please promise me you won't hurt him again" and Wozniak says "ok"
Harlee goes to jail to see Miguel - Fbi went too.
Tufo finds an immunity agreement at Sap's home and tells Wozniak that Sap sold them out. Wozniak places a bomb in the hospital, a nurse sees it and calls security and Harlee understands it was him trying to kill Saap, but she's too late, he's dead when she gets there.
Wozniak go tell his mother.
Cristina brings home a Manny with his face all bloody.
Harlee is angry because Wozniak promised her, and he tells her that this way he's the only responsible.
Cristina calls Wozniak to tell him that two cops beat Manny up.
Harlee yells at Wozniak that there's a witness that knows Miguel is innocent and that Wozniak never wanted to help her, only own her and use her. He gives her the name of the witness saying that he's been paying her silence for ten years with his own money.1000 every two months, and that now it's her problem.
Harlee tells Loman to get transferred, get out while he can.
Wozniak and Tess talk to the cops and doubt that Manny told the truth, but Cristina was there and made a video. Wozniak and Tess show it to Harlee and she's mad that Cristina didn't go to her directly and wants to handle it herself.
Tess tells her that if it was her son she'd rather have him talk to Harlee than no-one.
Harlee is also upset because in the video Cristina was smoking pot, but Cristina is very disappointed and talks about justice..
Fbi goes to Nava on false pretence to tell him his conduct is questionable because of Miguel and Harlee and Nava goes to Harlee with angry words, wondering if she would have slept with anybody else working Miguel's case :-/
Harlee tells Fbi how Miguel beated her for two years and how she was afraid for Cristina's life.
Wozniak sends Loman to the two cops to tell them there's a video and to bring them outside to beat them up - not much, actually, I guess the gesture was enough.
Harlee tells Manny that she's angry they were smoking but he deserves a second chance because he protected Cristina.
Harlee goes to Fbi to tell him that Wozniak told her that he killed Sap and asks to be wired.
After Sap, she now wants to destroy Wozniak.
Chen seems to be bothered by an 'innocent man' in prison :-/ yeah, really innocent Miguel..
Harlee joins Wozniak in his secret operation but he gets mad when they find a guy in the car's trunk.
Wozniak gives Harlee Donnie's name, but Fbi are away, I guess they didn't hear that, but she tells him. Chen doesn't let it go and talk about Miguel to DA. She thinks Fbi is getting 'too close' to Harlee.
Harlee leaves the wire in Wozniak's office to record his conversation with Donnie.
Miguel is set free.
Harlee learns about Wozniak's relationship with Donnie.

What devil do - The breach - For I have sinned
Harlee ducks Nava's calls, then she sees Miguel on the street and talks to him, and also warns Cristina. Harlee thinks Nava has something to do with him getting out, but he recused himself.
Stall tells Donnie to tail Wozniak again because he lost his only informant...
Wozniak takes an interest on an ex-Marine accused of murder, because he was a Marine too.
Stall is angry at Molly Chen because of Miguel but doesn't tell Harlee it was her.
Harlee goes with Wozniak to the meeting with the mysterious man for the big case. The guy's part of some agency too, and might get them three millions.
Miguel shows up at Cristina's door, and she tells him that Harlee told her he's not her dad.
Harlee doesn't tell Stall the guy's name, but tells the rest. She asks immunity for her team.
Miguel calls Harlee and puts her on speakerphone to convince Cristina she lied to her and he's her father.
Cristina goes out to talk to Miguel. Harlee sleeps with Stall? and then Wozniak sees her getting out of the apartment.
Miguel tells Cristina that Harlee "tripped down the stairs" - does she doubts the beatings now?
She tells him that Harlee works with Wozniak.
Stall tells her he needs the name to get her team immunity, and she gives it, but he doesn't. He says to his own time that only one is an asset and gets immunity - so not all of them.
Miguel pokes around to prove that she framed him. Harlee goes to offer Miguel money to have him go away. Wozniak tells Harlee he "thought" he saw her at Stall's house, but then he shows her a picture of a prostitute that looks a lot like her and she said that he calls her Harlee - basically he found a substitute.
From her cameras Harlee finds out Stall never asked for her crew's immunity. She confronts me, "you used me", he replies "I handled you".
Knowing nothing about the big case, Loman follows the Marine case stepping on it with nobody knowing. When Chen tries to retrieve the kidnapped guy she finds him dead. Loman stumbles on their robbery and calls for backup. Harlee tries to help half of her crew by keeping them away but she fails. Loman tries to stop them, the murderer Joaquim starts shooting. Tess is injured, Joaquin too, a guy is dead. The squad takes Tess to get help, Wozniak and Harlee drive away with the money.
Their car is hit somehow and the money taken. Wozniak thinks it was Donnie.
The Fbi is not happy with Harlee's story. The guy who said he was a DIA agent or something gave a false name.
Linda saw a car circling her house so Wozniak tells her to go to a hotel with Cristina.
When Harlee goes there, Cristina wants the truth but Harlee can't give her the whole story of course.
Loman keeps his mouth shut with the Fbi. Harlee told him that Donnie is blackmailing them because he found out about Loman's shooting, that they're protecting him so he protects them. "We're doing this for you" she said.
Joaquin dies while they're taking him to a hospital, so they bury him themselves.
Cristina keeps in touch with Miguel, calls him dad and secretly phones him.
Harlee makes a video for Cristina and Wozniak talks to a priest about his daughter's suicide and all he's done.
He tells him that he made deals with bad people to keep drugs away from schools, that if someone had done it before his daughter might still be alive now. The priest asks "you're asking God's forgiveness? you're searching for absolution?"
Wozniak walks out, "I can't make a confession yet father" - "because you can't accept God's mercy?" - "no, because I got a couple more people that I need to hurt"
At the end we that Harlee's friend is the one that took the money, he has it and tells her, "so, what now?" - "now we start calling the shots"

13
One Last Lie
Wozniak tells Stall to stay away from his crew. Cristina sneaks out to meet Miguel. Loman confronts Donnie at Wozniak's house. Donnie's words are half-truths half-lies: keeping himself clean and blaming it all on Wozniak, but then he takes a gun, they fight and Loman kills him.
He tells Wozniak it was self-defence. Wozniak thanks him, "he was setting me up" and they take care of it together.
Molly Chen makes a move on Stall and they kiss - is she drunk or for real??
Harlee went to Nava to spend the night. She apologises for blaming him for Miguel's release. He's comforting, they hug, he tells her she can stay like that as long as she wants.
Linda calls Harlee to tell her Cristina's gone. Harlee thinks Miguel took her and goes to his place. Miguel tells Harlee the truth, that Cristina called him, they had dinner.. she doesn't believe him.
He says Cristina is with his mom.
Wozniak burns Donnie's body. Harlee goes to pick Cristina up but Cristina admits that she called him and refuses to get in the car and says Miguel has done nothing wrong, and keeps saying that Harlee lied to her (which is true).
Harlee wants to use part of the stolen money to pay Miguel to disappear but she left it at Nava's place.
Harlee confesses to Wozniak that the Fbi forced her to work for him using Cristina as leverage, but when he asks "when, how long ago?" she says "last night".
She says she's been given the heist money by the Fbi to put it in Wozniak's boat, but instead she put it in an abandoned building. She tells him she won't give him (him being Wozniak) to the Fbi, but she can give them Donnie and Linklater and they'll have to take it, and Wozniak now tells her that Donnie is dead and Linklater left the country, "which means the only person you've got left to sell out is me".
She tells him to get Linda and some money and go away.
Harlee delivers a bag of money to Miguel's mom. She wants to get to know her granddaughter but Harlee can't forget that she let her son repeatedly break her face and did nothing.
Now Harlee has no men to give to the Fbi but she has the money and wants her crew's freedom.
Stall has Chen removed from the operation.
Harlee tells Cristina that Miguel's nice side hides a manipulative monster that beat her up for two years and almost killed her, then she sends her away in a tearful goodbye.
Harlee wants to exchange the money for the freedom of her crew but finds that Wozniak took all the money, leaving a bag for her to pay for Cristina's college. She calls him, he says he's taking the bullet for the team, sitting there on the money waiting for Stall. She says she cut a deal, he says he did it too (after he told him to leave his team alone).
Harlee cries, tells him that she lied and it's been her all along, she was the mole and he says he knows.
He didn't before but he understood when they talked because she made a mistake in one of those lies, Stall could not have given her the money because Stall didn't have it.
Wozniak says that he would do for her everything she would do to protect Cristina.
He says "I don't want to lose another daughter, I forgive you"
The Fbi cars are already there, Harlee tries desperately to find another way, he says "unless you've got something on this fed I don't know about, I think we've reached the end of the rope"
She thinks, yells "Wait" and we hear no more but we see his face and I think she told him something interesting...
Despite the 200.000 she gave him Miguel doesn't go away, he shows up in front of her saying he'll take the money but he doesn't want a new life, he wants his old one, then he hurts her, and when he tries to have sex with her manipulating and scaring her like he probably used to do once, she snaps and she breaks his neck. (good)
And just like that, on this little note, the episode and the season end , leaving quite a cliffhanger.

What will happen to Wozniak? He did many bad things, I won't forget he killed his crewmember, and yet the one I dislike the most in the whole show is Stall, I really can't stand him, I don't want him to win.
