FFFernando Flores
Why would I want to go anywhere else when I can learn from Mr. Devarro?
Learn from me? Learn from my mistakes. Fact is, you want to start out like me, you might end up like Panthro. Muerto.
“Sangre por Sangre” · Season 7, Episode 4

(to Luther Devarro) A handshake used to mean something. An officer was shot today, and a civilian wounded. The ammo we found had your crew's signature on it. When a guy like you gets released from prison a week before people start getting shot, I don't believe it's coincidence.
Two shootings. Same signature.
One gang, El Puño.
So Torres' murder wasn't a rival hit by the Mambas; it was an inside job.
So, just like a snakehead, someone in El Puño's eating their own.
I want to talk to each one of their power players. Lisa Brigosa, the Devarro brothers, Rick and Luther and Fernando Flores. Each one of them is either a potential suspect, or a potential victim.
Our fish smuggler remembers a tough-looking Puerto Rican guy buying from him.
He get a name?
No, but he did specifically ask for three snakeheads.
So our killer asked for three, and only two have been used. That's pretty simple math.
Which leaves one more victim yet to be determined.
Rick Devarro [to Luther]: You killed Panthro? And Lisa?
There was a time when crimes against the people in the neighbourhood were not allowed.
RDRick Devarro
You still preaching that neighbourhood garbage? You were gonna kill me for that? I'm your brother.
You're a man of reason, Luther. Come out, give yourself up.
It's too late for me, Detective. I never intended to create something violent. It was never about drugs and guns, money and power. When they put me away, all that changed. Torres, Lisa and my brother! Took what I created, just a group of guys trying to watch each other's back, taking care of their neighbourhood and they turned it into some criminal enterprise.
Sitting in my cell, hearing about how El Puño was the most feared and violent gang. Inmates coming up to me and paying respect. I wanted to tear it down!
Did you honestly think you could do that by killing the heads of the gang? They'll all be replaced by others.
I never intended to save the world but somebody had to be held accountable. Those that made the same promise I did. Promise to protect the neighbourhood, not to eat it alive. To defend it, not to become the worst threat it had ever known.
Now you've caused even more bloodshed. Killing people won't solve it. We're fighting the same fight. Why didn't you come to me? We could have taken them down together.
Because old habits die hard, and we're different kind of people. I gain closure here, Detective, in the spirit of what I created. I have no other choice. It all ends here. Tonight.
[prevents Mac from asking for medical help over the radio] Don't make... I started it. I end it. That includes me.
The rules of the street. This wasn't about taking over... [coughs so he won't choke on his blood] This was about making things right.
