Graceland Episode 1.02 Guadalajara Dog

In the wake of the Russian Shootings, Mike continues to find his footing at Graceland, but the more he settles in to his new life, the more the lines seem to blur. Case in point: a mandated psych evaluation turns out to be a cover for a meeting with Juan Badillo, Mike's control officer in the Briggs investigation. But while Mike is relieved to have some guidance, Juan in cagey with details, simply imploring Mike to "get closer." The question is, how?

Mike isn't the only one dealing with surprises.

But when Briggs calls an unexpected audible, it's Mike who must decide if he can trust his senior officer. Little does he realize just how complicated Briggs' plans are, or how dangerous...
