It is not clear "who" arranged the hit on Sean; was it Memo or Mateo. Sean asks both; Memo responds in jail "if I wanted you dead, you would be". Mateo responds "you think it was me" implying that it was Memo.
Hollywood Jack knew of the hit and relayed this when he took out the guy in echo park, so this supports Mateo being behind the hit. Also during the botched deal, Joe's partner says "I'm the one that took care of the cop's stupid b*&#% wife"---also implying Mateo.
The ultimate question is who was behind the phone call to the guy at the bar in San Pedro ordering the hit. It was either Memo while in custody or Mateo.
What facts would support Memo being behind the hit?
