Once the crew realizes Lomans backup is arriving at the armored truck, everybody bolts.
Well, everybody except the second driver because hes already dead, shot during the firefight.
Before Harlee blacks out, she sees a masked figure approaching.

When she next comes to, Woz is hauling her out of the car.
Though their good looks remain intact, the money is all gone.
He cuffs him and takes him in for questioning.
Their partner is seething because the Feds are raiding the airstrip where they were keeping their captive.
Someones double-crossed him, and hes looking at Woz and the rest of his team.
When Woz tells him the moneys been stolen, Linklater is ready to bury them all.
But he needs his cash back, so he arranges a white flag meeting instead.
After the call, Woz shares his evolving theory: Donnie is behind all of this.
Woz is under no illusions that his man would put their lives above his own ends.
Plus, whoever hit their car did so in the same manner the police use to stop fleeing suspects.
It was a cop who stole the money.
The whole ragtag bunch Woz, Harlee, Donnie, and Linklater meet for dim sum in Queens.
Donnie is enraged when he hears his nephew, Joaquin, is currently under the knife.
Linklater trusts Donnie, however, and lays the blame at Wozs feet.
The lieutenant has 24 hours to recover the cash.
(The or else is implied.)
Plus, Stahl believes he was in on the plan (despite calling in the robbery).
Loman plays dumb, though.
For now, his loyalty still lies with the family.
Baker is pissed their whole operation has gone to hell, and theyre out $12 million.
Luckily, Chen has a lead: Linklater went back to work that afternoon.
Before Woz can get to that, however, his wife, Linda, calls.
It could be Linklaters people, or it could be Miguel, looking for Cristina.
The bartender confirms Lomans story and that Joaquin was a suspect.
Stahl asks if she can identify Joaquins partner, and the bartender points out Donnies picture.
Stahl isnt surprised: Thats the kids uncle, an obvious connection.
The bartender is grossed out to hear this.
She caught them together at the club once.
Well…thats at least what shed like him to think.
Thanks to Caddies tinkering, her wire went silent for two crucial hours earlier that day.
Stahl doesnt believe Harlee had nothing to do with the moneys disappearance or that shes not playing him.
Plus, he thinks she didnt fully cooperate with his investigation, which jeopardizes her immunity deal.
Theres just one problem, however: The man they bring in isnt Linklater.
NEXT: Best revenge is your paper
Back at the church, Woz interrogates Joaquin.
As Joaquin relates this gruesome tale, he begins to hemorrhage.
Why risk everything for this kid?)
On the way, the gruff old guy takes a surprisingly tender approach to Joaquin.
In kind, Joaquin talks about his own demons, including an abusive mother.
She finally lashes out: She knows Miguel isnt on parole, like Harlee said.
After Stahl releases Loman, the detective returns to the armored truck.
Then, the memory continues past what we saw last episode.
(This story makes approximately zero sense.
What were they going to do, flee to Mexico together without letting Loman in on the plan first?
But Harlees improvising with a gun in her face, so well let the shoddy reasoning slide.)
She also told him to lie to the Feds when they questioned him.
To protect his crew, just like they protected him.
Crying, Loman calls the 64th and asks to speak to the captain.
But shes come out the other side, and nothing is justified.
She slides open a metal door, behind which stands averypleased-looking Caddie, surrounded by stacks of cash.
Woz was right to conclude a police officer took their dough he just suspected the wrong one.
On top of the world, Harlee grins and announces that now they get to call the shots.
Final Guilt-O-Meter
Harlee:9 out of 10
Lying to Cristina and creating emotional instability at home?
Stealing a fortune from the government?
Planning a car crash that easily could have killed Woz and herself?
Putting her entire teams lives in danger by stealing from Linklater?
Harlee outdid herself this week.
