All language subtitles for The SHIELD - S03 E06 - Posse Up (720p - BluRay)

NARRATOR: Previously
on The Shield:

doesn't mean you have
to play Wonder Woman.

Though I might be able to
dig up the outfit for you.

Victim's name is Isabel Nelson.

Raped by a lone male.

Guy was waiting in the house
naked when she came home.

Isabel's 73.

We think this,
uh, cuddler-rapist

has been around for a while.

Mueller's results have
been proven accurate

down to the square block.

His fee's $5000.
CLAUDETTE: Right.

No. We don't have the money.

AGENT NELL: Two of
the bills you had

in your possession are marked.

Currency stolen from an
Armenian money-laundering ring.

Holy shit.
We've been waiting for it.

Our money's marked?
Showed up in your hands.

Chew on this, baby.

We found out the feds marked
some of our money train cash.

What?

Part of a sting they're
doing on the Armenians.

Oh, shit. Deep.

AGENT NELL: Take it
to the lab before 5,

I can get fingerprint results by morning.
You coming?

I'm curious what else
we might find here.

Police! On your knees, man.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Let's see that mouth.

Suck it!

[GAGGING]

VIC: Anything?

RONNIE: Shit.

All right, we switch,
do it all again with new eyes.

LEM: Goddamn. Shit.

VIC: We can't spend a nickel

until we know which
bills are marked.

I'm gonna check for dummy
serial numbers this time.

Who's got the
Federal Reserve seal?

SHANE: Uh, I'll take it. Here.

The, uh, cuddler-rape case. Ahem.
How many victims so far?

Five. We're going to
the press tomorrow.

N-no. Not... Not yet.

The reporters are already
calling with questions.

They've got the story.

We might as well
give them our side.

We got a list of
registered sex offenders,

guys with prior robberies.

Let us talk to 'em first.

There have gotta be a
hundred suspects at least.

L-it'll take you a month.

Actually, we've, uh,
narrowed the list down to 14.

How?

We got the geo-profile.
I said no to that.

When I told the profiler
who the victims were,

he offered to do
it for half-price.

Apparently his grandma
put him through school.

It's still too much.

I... Twenty-five hundred.

I wrote him a check.

I-if it doesn't work out,
just take it out of my salary.

Believe me, I will.

Okay.

The profiler gave us hot zones,

places where the guy
likely lives or works.

Plus we've got high-risk
areas for future rapes.

Well,
talk to whoever you need to,

but you got 24 hours till
the press conference.

W-what if our guy,

uh, has a lust for fame?

Going public now will
build his confidence,

make him more dangerous.

Give us another week.

Potential rape victims
need to know the threat,

and they need to know it now.

You've got until tomorrow.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

You're early.

You told me you wanted me
to check the pool filter.

I'll do it before I
take Cass to the game.

Okay, I'll go get her ready.

[MATTHEW GIGGLES]

[GIGGLING]

MATTH EWI Noisy. OWEN: Right.

Hey, Mr. Mackey. How's it going?

Hey, little man.

That's enough for
today, Matthew.

You did a good job.
I'm proud of you. Let's pack up.

He's working on understanding
concepts, as well as objects.

Like a horn's not just a
horn, but it's...

Noisy. I get it. It's good.

Matthew, those don't go there.

Let's put 'em in your
room right now, okay?

It's okay. He can get it later.

He knows he needs to do it now.

And I said he can do it later.
I got a job for him.

She's getting her uniform on.
She'll be out in a minute.

I'll be by the pool.
Come on, Matt. Help your dad.

Hey, I talked to a nurse.
Tavon's doing a lot better.

That's great.
SHANE: Yeah, it is.

LEM: He's off the ventilator.
Who? Tavon?

LEM: Yeah. He's, uh,
still not responding to voices,

but, uh, breathing on
his own was a big hurdle.

He could still have
a full recovery.

I'm gonna go see him after work.

Anybody wanna come with?

SHANE: I...
I can't make it today.

Look, I got another idea on
how to track those bills.

You know those, uh,
lists that the feds send around

to banks to track counterfeits?

You can't just walk into a bank

and ask to see their
Treasury watch list

without attracting attention.

Those lists also go around
to check-cashing places,

they go to Indian casinos.

Anyway, I know this wink
joint, he cashes checks-.

I go in, I tin Uncle Ho,

say I need to make sure
his list is current.

He'll go for that?

If it keeps me from
poking around his backroom

where he's pimping slope
cooch, yeah.

Yeah, I think he'll go for it.

VIC: Yeah, that's not bad.

Just keep it quiet. Okay.

Oh. All here.

You're assigned to
Trish for the day.

I'll try to break you in easy.

CLAUDETTE: Got gay bashers

going after male hustlers
out on the stroll.

Where's the rest
of the Decoy Squad?

TRISH: Deep cover.

Trish will fill you in
on operational details.

VIC: Just for the record.

I have no problem working
with the Decoy Squad,

but we don't work for them.

That's right. You work for me.

[FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING]

[DANNY & JULIEN LAUGHING]

TOMMY: Who the hell wrote this?

DANNY: Who do you think? Nina.

What, are we in third grade?

Hey, that yours?

MAN: Tommy Hisk?

Yeah?

Detective Kouf, Wilshire.
Can I talk with you?

Shoot.

Do you wanna come with me?

I'm about to go on duty.

Just step outside.

Go get the captain.

Your ex-wife and son
were found murdered.

I'm very sorry.

I need to take you
to Wilshire with me.

Wait a minute. Why?

That's my captain's orders.

This happens and Griggs
wants to sweat him?

Just a couple of questions.
We're all cops here.

Think I had something
to do with this?

Hey, it's just procedure.
What do you want?

Save him the car ride
and you talk to him here.

You do it fast,
and you get it over with.

[SCREAMS]

[SOBBING]

Are you all right?

Yeah.

[TIT]

Where were you last night
between 10 and 11 p-m-?

Is that when they, uh...?

"KOUF". Just where were you'?

[TOMMY SNIFFS]

Uh...

I don't know.
I worked late and went home.

Okay. Were you with anyone,
like a girlfriend maybe or...?

Don't have a girlfriend.

I'm sorry?
I don't have a girlfriend.

This is bullshit.

Heard his divorce got
nasty, but come on.

They'll get a statement,
see there's nothing there.

Meanwhile, the real
killer's trail's going cold.

It's Wilshire's case.
Your team's got yours.

How old was his kid?

Four or 5. Goddamn it.

We gotta posse up.

Find out who did Tommy's family.

Who's coming?

True they got him
in Interrogation?

We're gonna fix that.

Talking about
disappearing off the grid?

If the hammer doesn't
come down fast and hard,

it sends a message that cops

and their families
are fair game.

MAN: I got cage duty.
What can I do from here?

Run a records search.

Anyone Tommy's put
away, recently paroled.

I'm gonna check out
the crime scene.

You guys come,
canvass the neighborhood.

All right. Okay. Let's go.

Change of plans.
I'm calling in sick.

Are you?

Well, I could put a
penny under my tongue,

or you could take me at my word.

This about that uni's
family getting killed?

The only reason your old
boss is clicking with Tommy

is because Aceveda took you
and your team from Wilshire.

This is payback.

And what am I supposed
to tell Claudette?

Tell her I was present
and accounted for.

Oh, she spanks me,
I'll spank you.

Hey, Vic. I'm coming too.
VIC: No.

I'm not sitting
around on flamer duty

while Tommy gets boned.

You've got problems of
your own if Tavon comes to.

Besides, I need you here.

Vic, come on. I got some bodies.

I'll handle it.
You handle this for me.

VIC: Hey, Julien.
You hear about Tommy?

Yeah.
There's no way he did this.

A bunch of us are going out
there to prove it. You want in?

Yeah. He was my
partner, I knew his son.

It's a deep blue run.

Could be consequences,
a little hot water.

Okay.

Good, you're in. Let's go.

Did you place any calls so
we can prove you were home?

No. Look, I wanna see them.

KOUF: Mm-hm. When can I see 'em?

KOUF: It's all right.
We won't be here too long.

Excuse me a minute.

She's been crying for you.

She doesn't understand
where you've been.

I'm sorry, it's, uh...

It's been really busy right now.

You're always busy.

That's never stopped you
from coming home before.

I can't get into it right now.

Well, we're here right now.

That's all you gotta say?

[SCOFFS]

Will you be home for dinner?

I don't know how long
I'll be needed here.

Spending another night?
I don't know.

For God's sake,
what have you been doing?

One of my cops just found out
his family's been murdered.

And on top of that,
he's a suspect.

And then you've been
calling all day.

And then you bring
Sophia down here.

You know, what are you thinking?
You know, qué piensas?

Calm down.

Yeah.

HEY-

I'll be home when I get home.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

I'll call it in.

VIC: Mind if we
take a look around?

MAN: You're in the wrong
district, aren't you?

Uh, this was the family
of one of our guys.

Yeah. I heard.

Techs are still inside.

No one's gonna disturb
your crime scene, man.

Normally, sure,

but the captain's taken a
special interest in this.

He could stop by any time.

Look,
we just wanna help out a friend

who lost his wife and kid.

Who's caught up in the
middle of a pissing match

between your boss and ours.

Look, I'm not trying to
be a pain in the ass.

Two minutes.

We just wanna see
what happened-.

Look, they can wait outside.
Just me and Tommy's partner.

Two minutes. In and out.

Thanks.

MAN: He came in a back window.
Broken lock.

Wife was stabbed a
couple dozen times.

The sister found her.

Anything missing?

MAN: Off the top of her head,

a silver tea set
and some jewelry.

The kid ran to
hide under the bed.

Killer found him and
slashed his throat.

Think God's gonna show mercy
to the person who did this?

[SIGHS]

How bad was it?

Oh, it was a speed murder.

The guy had to be
cranked on something.

Neighbors say there's been
a lot of break-ins lately.

There's a crack house right over
there, across the street.

VIC: Hey, anybody check
that rock house over there?

We knocked. No answer.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

[DOG BARKING]

Hey, Vic, wait a minute.
I just got my job back, okay?

I'm not breaking
into this place.

There's a citizen inside here

in need of immediate
medical attention.

See? Medical emergency.

Somebody get this
man an aspirin.

Rise and shine, party people.

Yo, dude, this is my crib.

[YELLING]

A cop's wife and kid
across the street

were murdered last night.

This looks like a good place
to round up the usual suspects.

Ain't nobody here last
night except myself.

Well,
that makes you a prime suspect.

Y'all tripping for real.

I was too blind off a eight ball

to raise my hand
against my fellow man.

Are you playing a game with me?

Because I know
some games myself.

[CLATTERING]

DAN NY: Come on, Vic.

JUNKIE: Ah! Okay, okay.

This slanger, Darontay,

came by here last night
to make a delivery.

Yeah? He sees that bitch outside

writing down his
goddamn license plate.

Darontay goes out to regulate.

Tells her to get ghost or
be swarmed on by a nigga.

VIC: What happened then?
I don't know, man. I...

I... When homes came
with the product,

I was too busy trying
to get my smoke on.

If Tommy's wife wrote down
this guy's license plate,

maybe it's still
inside the house.

Look, I think I saw some
kind of list on the fridge.

I'm not sure.

Okay. Here's what we do.

I need another
quick look inside.

I got a call that Captain
Griggs is on the move.

Come on, man,
I'm just trying to lend a hand here.

Then turn around and walk away.

VIC: I thought we were
working on the same team.

I don't know what this beef
between our captains is...

You want me to break
it down for you?

No. I just want you out of
here before mine shows up.

All right, I'm out of here.

Plate numbers. I figure the
last one belongs to Darontay.

Good. Copy down the
last few to be safe.

Gonna turn that
over to Wilshire?

After we run the numbers. Why?

It's their investigation.

Yeah, and they're
focusing on the wrong guy.

Wait a minute.

Breaking and entering?
Withholding evidence?

If the perp fences the stuff
he stole before we get him,

it's gonna be harder
to tie him to the case.

We gotta get this asshole now.

Look, I signed up to
keep Tommy out of jail,

not put myself in.

Oh, please. We're just doing
the job they should be doing.

[SCOFFS]

Julien, come on, let's go.

I'm gonna see this through.

We're on patrol.

It's not like I
haven't covered for you

for a couple of hours when
you've had an emergency.

You got the numbers?

Yeah.

Feel free to return
the list to Wilshire.

You know, there was another
break-in last month?

She tell you about that?

She told me.

Same as last night.

Came in through the same window,
stole a bunch of valuables.

Luckily,
no one was home at the time.

Why aren't you out looking
for a break-in guy?

Not a very good neighborhood
for a mom and kid

to be living alone, is it?

IFS Shit-.

I tried to get Barb to move,
but she likes the house,

and I don't make enough
cash for something better.

KOU F: You fought?

So they argued.
She's an ex-wife.

It comes with the territory.

KOUF: Divorce was final
two weeks ago, right?

What has that to
do with anything?

Well, you know, like you said,
it's tough to get a house

in the Hills on a
uniform's alimony.

Why the hell is that important?
Why?

We're here to
discuss last night.

Okay,
am I interrogating you or him?

I thought we were just talking.

I, uh, reconned three
victims' homes last night,

all with windows
facing the street.

Tried to get a look inside.

Drapes were closed in
all three instances.

I can't wait to
hear the punch line.

I reinterviewed the victims.

Before the attacks,

all had their drapes
up during the day

but closed at night. So?

He's scoping them out during the day.
Unemployed?

Be less conspicuous if
he worked in the area.

A courier, construction,

someone you wouldn't
look at twice.

CLAUDETTE: How's
it going up there?

You guys any closer
to a suspect,

or are you just $2500 poorer?

We're gonna need daily
surveillance patrols

in areas of potential attacks.

Save it till after
the press conference.

Yeah, I've got my notes for you.

No, keep them.
You're gonna be doing it.

The press conference?
Y-you always do those.

I gotta get back up to Tommy.

DUTCH: Um,
I still think this is premature.

We should at least
release a psych profile,

see if it gets us any tips.

What's the profile?

Uh, single,
or with a submissive partner,

frees him up for going
out at all hours.

No, no. Enough of the profiles.
Just give them what we know.

VIC [ON RADIO]: I need
you to run a plate.

One-zero-zero-
Paul-Charles-Edward.

Should come back to an
owner, first name Darontay.

Yeah, I need an address.

ASAP.

Hey, I, uh...
I hit that check-cashing place.

[DOOR OPENS]

Palmed the serial numbers
Treasury's watching.

Everything's under control here.

What, you can't talk? Right.

Soon as we're done
with the bone-smokers,

we'll check our cash
against that list.

Uh, we don't know if your
Cl's information is correct.

His info may not jive with
Aceveda's expectation.

Aceveda might be working
off a different list?

Correct.

You need to review the evidence

collected in the Byz
Lats investigation.

Check it against the bills we
know are marked in Property.

There you go.

Hey, Cacuzza.

I could use a little help on
this, uh, Byz Lat investigation.

There was, uh,
some cash logged into Property,

last name "Salcido."

I can't release property

without the owner's signature.

Doesn't need to leave the room.

Drug residue on those bills

gets me the search
warrant I need.

All right.

[SHANE CLEARS THROAT]

Here it is, the marked bills
we're holding for Treasury.

Great, great.

KOUF: You haven't been back
at the house since you left?

Um...

Picked up Jeff a few
times outside the house.

That's the only reason,
to pick up Jeff?

ACEVEDA: You heard him.
Jesus Christ.

The thing is, uh,
one of the few items

that was stolen, uh,
last month in the break-in

was an American Eagle coin
collection from your father.

We talked to Barb's sister.

She said your son saw the
coins last week at your place.

He told his mom.

She said she was
gonna press charges,

breaking and entering.

That would have
cost you your job.

AC EVEDA: Tommy?

Somebody made a mistake.

KOU F: Yeah?
What's your son, a liar?

My son's dead and you
pricks won't let me see him.

Captain. Steve.

What's going on, David?
Why isn't he in custody?

Well, you said just a
few routine questions.

There is a case against him.

I'm not obliged to lay
it out in front of him.

Why don't you lay it
out in front of me?

Okay. He breaks into
his ex-wife's house.

Stole property, she found out.
He kills her to cover it up.

The son sees it,
so he kills him too.

Well, you've got
nothing to support that.

So why don't you just let it go?

So if I search his place,
I'm not gonna find those coins?

Steve, you know you don't have
enough for a search warrant.

Are you still working with us,

or are you a defense
attorney now?

Cuff him and put him in the car.

No, he stays in my house
until you show me more.

Let's call the chief.

Sure. Yeah.

I think he's on the tenth
hole at Rancho Park.

I'll make sure to tell
him what a great job

the Decoy Squad's doing for me.

Or you can finish
up with Tommy here.

Oops.

Next time,
I won't knock so hard.

Put your clothes on,
walk out the door,

and change your taste in men.

Where were you last
night, playboy?

You know, ruling the streets.

Then back to the crib

for a little thug
passion with shorty.

There was a double homicide

right down the block from
the crack house you supply.

JULIEN: Police officer's wife
and child were stabbed to death.

See me crying?

Well, we only just got here.

Did you do it?

I would have,
but I had on a new suit.

You wear that around your
neck and you talk like that?

Ah, you like the bling-bling.
Twenty-five grand.

Yo, why you tripping, nigga?

Two less blue-eyed
devils in this world.

[CRIES OUT]

Witnesses saw you
arguing last night.

Who didn't have words
with that bitch?

Telling folks to come correct

or get dimed on 'cause
her baby daddy five-0-.

Hell,
even your boy couldn't deal.

Hired a straight G to
come gank his own crib.

No speak Ebonics, shithead.

Her old man hired some dude to
come rob his own damn house.

How do you know?

DARONTAY: My users tell
me things of interest,

like when a fellow smoke hound
gets recruited by the po-po.

Who'd this cop hire?

Some smoker.

Probably wasn't a wise choice.

You hired someone to
knock over your house?

No.

Cut the bullshit, Tommy.
I found out.

Now,
we got about two minutes tops.

Tell me what happened.

I have a coin
collection from my dad.

Gold American Eagles.

She got half of them
in the settlement.

She was gonna sell 'em.

So you hired someone
to steal 'em back?

It was a one-time thing.

Christ.

You know,
a bunch of us are out there

trying to clear your name.

You're making us all
look like assholes.

He was a 459 suspect I
cut loose who owed me.

Has nothing to do
with last night.

He came through the same
window, the same broken lock.

Ex-wives know how
to push buttons.

One way of getting out
from under the alimony.

My son, Vic? You think I would
do this to him? You got kids.

Yeah.
I wouldn't hire some crackhead

to break into where they sleep.
Barb and Jeff were out of town.

He wasn't a crackhead.

Did you make him
take a urine test?

This guy came back for seconds,

killed 'em both.

Jesus Christ.

I gotta find him.

That's what I'm doing.

Tell me his name.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

ACEVEDA: Hey, unlock this door.

Soren Arnovic.
Run his priors, you'll find him.

I didn't know, Vic.
If he did this, I didn't know.

Keep your mouth shut.
Let me do my thing.

ACEVEDA: I said
unlock this door.

[BANGING ON DOOR]

What's going on?

VIC: Just showing a fellow
officer some support.

Uh, the rapes appear

to be preferentially-motivated
assaults.

Can you put that in terms
our viewers can understand?

Yes. Uh, women, between the
ages of 65 and 80, living alone.

The perpetrator... Uh, rapist.

Watches for women
to leave the house,

enters and waits for them.

If you live in the area,

keep your blinds
drawn at all times,

because he scopes out his
victims during the day.

Uh, we believe he's a
white or Latino male,

aged 25 to 40.

That's three-quarters
of the population.

You don't have
any hard suspects?

We're making progress
with our investigation.

Sounds like you have nothing.

Uh...

We know he thinks of himself
as a sophisticated predator.

But really he has
low intelligence

and poor interpersonal skills.

Probably in a menial
job or unemployed.

It's doubtful that he has a
relationship with a woman.

If he does, he's domineering

and can come and
go as he pleases.

And he struggles with impotence- Thank
you, that's all-.

WOMAN: One more
question, detective.

I'm sorry. No, no.

CLAUDETTE: Impotence?

I-| said he struggles
with impotence.

He never ejaculates.

Dutch. It's a solid tactic.

Emasculate him in public,

you draw him out or you
defuse his impulses.

Or piss him off.

What if he uses this as
an excuse to rape again?

He's raped five women
that we know of.

He doesn't need an excuse.

[SIGHS]

Ran those bills from Evidence.

They're not showing up
on the Treasury list.

Aceveda's working
off a different list?

The question is how to flush it.
Hey, hey, hey.

I got an address.

All right.
Meet back here after you're done.

We'll get into it.

Hear Tommy might not be as
clean as we'd like to think.

Think what you want to.

DANNY: We gotta
get back on patrol.

What would you say if it
was you in Interrogation

for two murders you didn't do?

Look,
I'm not taking another fall.

You guys go back out there,
I gotta go to Aceveda.

Let's go.

KOU F: Tell us about the coins.

GRIGGS: I got guys at
your apartment right now.

They gonna find 'em?

According to the
divorce settlement,

they belonged to
Barb, right, Tommy?

Part of the division
of property?

I wanna see my lawyer.

Helping us or trying
to hide something?

ACEVEDA: You have anything
to do with the robbery?

TOMMY: I want to see my son,

or get me a lawyer.

GRIGGS: A lawyer?
Not a PBA rep, huh?

You can take him.

Let's go, buddy. Stand up.

Three assaults on gay
hustlers in the last month,

all on Saturday nights.
Victims give us anything?

Besides big sad eyes?

TRISHA: Descriptions are all
over, but the m.o. tracks.

Four to five guys
grabbing for trick money.

We're supposed to be shutting
down vice in Farmington, right?

That's the job.
So if I'm a cocksucker...

What do you mean "if"?

And shit goes down in
my place of business,

don't I just take my willing
mouth someplace else?

You may find it trivial,

but two victims ended up in
ICU, one with a fractured skull.

Shane, you'll be
undercover with the fellas.

Everyone else
maintains a perimeter.

Hold the phone there, doll face.
You got me on salami patrol? No.

What about one of these guys?

They don't look gay enough.

[LEM CHUCKLES]

Shane, when you want
your buddy to release,

gently squeeze the
shaft at the base,

applying tongue to the glans

and frenulum. [LAUGHS]

SHANE [ON RADIO]:
Hey, tube-steak,

I'm engaged to a gorgeous
female who's carrying my child.

You're the one who actually
knows the names of dick parts.

You must be the
undercover police officer.

I'm glad to be of service.

MAN: Thanks. SHANE: For what?

MAN: For watching our backs.

It's been the mama
of drama here.

You might wanna hold
off on the thanks.

More than likely be
running you in next week.

I didn't get your name.

Yeah.

Uh, I got a call.
Guy claiming to be the rapist.

He's demanding a formal
statement from you

retracting the impotence charge.

So he's made contact.

Well, we've had over 100 calls.

It could be a hoax.

Well, he said he took a figurine
from the last victim's house.

CLAUDETTE: Could say you take a
figurine from an old woman's house

and have a nine out of
10 shot at being right-.

He says it was a Hummel?

Danny's not gonna say anything.
She wouldn't do that to me.

She sure as hell isn't
gonna do it to you.

Listen, we find this
guy, after what he did,

we don't take any chances.

He resists,
he reaches for a piece,

he lifts a finger,
we use deadly force.

Not gonna give him a chance

to hurt us... or Tommy.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Sir?

What is it?

Our deal was if I saw something?

What happened?

[EXHALES]

Vic rounded up some
guys to track down

who killed Tommy's family.

I was one of 'em.

I mean, just to make sure
Tommy was getting a fair shake.

But now? But now

it's gone from a fact-checking
mission into a fox hunt.

And who's with him? Julien.

You let this happen?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I'm not his TO
anymore, am I?

Obviously,
Julien is responsible for himself.

I-| thought you had some
influence over the guy.

Okay.

Six-Paul-11 requesting
backup at 95 Round Hill Road.

Possible 187 suspect.

All right, you take the front.

He sees the uniform,
he runs, he did it.

I'll take the back.

Hey, hey. No chances.

JULIEN: Police!

He's got a gun!

He's running! Police!

Oh, Shit.

He's still got the gun.

Couldn't get a good shot.

Go out front, wait for backup.

SOREN: Don't come near me.

When he calls,
tell him the only way

the public's gonna hear
his side of the story

is for him to come forward
and tell the truth himself.

WOMAN: What if he doesn't call?

He's gonna wanna
hear our answer.

You think he's
gonna give it all up

just to make it clear
he's not impotent?

Why would he do that?

Uh, because he's mentally ill?

SOREN: Don't come near me.

[GUN COCKS]

Thing I couldn't take about prison?
The stink.

Piss, shit...

You're looking at
10 years of that

before they hit you
with the needle.

The worst part?

Can't fix up when
you're hurting.

Sometimes you can't fix at all.

SOREN: Shut up! VIC: Me?

I'd eat a bullet right now.

JULIEN: Backup's
two minutes out.

VIC: You got two minutes
before the cavalry gets here.

You think it over.

[SIRENS BLARING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Suspect who killed
Tommy Hisk's family.

Saw the stolen
property in the house.

Vic's trying to get him to
put the gun down and come out.

Hope he doesn't try too hard.

MAN: Go around back.

VIC: Stick the gun in
your mouth and pull.

Last chance. Do it, Soren.

SOREN: Don't shoot!

Please, don't shoot.

Put your hands behind your head.

Turn around.

Take him.

Come here.

MAN: Behind your back.

MAN: Check out the wheels.

MAN 2: Chrome 22s, sweet.

How much you think?

MAN 2: I don't know.

Couple of nights' work.

Set of Kruz Laguna chrome
22s, run you around 3200.

Throw in another grand
for the spinners.

Looks like our breeder knows
a thing or two about rim jobs.

Heh. Rim jobs.

MAN [ON TAPE]: in
front of the camera,

so the cops can't
do nothing to me.

WOMAN [ON TAPE]: I
can arrange that.

I'll say what I gotta say,

but he's gotta take
back what he said.

No one there except
you, me and him.

You mean, Detective Wagenbach?

He needs to apologize.

[TAPE CLICKS]

I'm putting one of my
men in with the camera.

WOMAN: No, not unless you know
someone who can run a Sony D600.

You get the arrest,
we get the video.

I've done this dozens of times.

My camera guy was in
the middle of Baghdad

when Desert Storm started.

I want at least two
guys in close proximity.

I can handle it.

Three backup teams

with radio contact and
everyone's wearing a vest

or you get no video.

MAN [OVER RADIO]: Back
home, I had a Chevy 1500.

Four-barrel carb on a high-rise.

Slapped them paddle
tires on every summer.

Sand-dragged the shit out of it.

I had an F-150
with a NOS system,

so the nitrous shot
straight into the manifold.

My brother did that
to a Dodge short bed.

Oh, it's a bad move. No shit.

Threw a rod, sent it
sideways, tires smoked.

Junked the whole engine, huh?

Yeah.

[METAL MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

THUG 1: Hey, faggot.
THUG 2: Hey, come here, punk.

THUG 1: Yeah, come on. Come on.

Move! Move!

SHANE: Police officer!
Police officer!

Drop the bat!
Drop the bat right now!

Police. Stop right there.
Turn around.

You, on the ground!
On the ground!

RONNIE: Turn around.
Turn around. Get over here.

Get over here. Against the wall.

THUG 3: This way. This way.

Stop right there!

Nice tackle.

What's this?

The collar you and me
been working on all clay.

Oh, right. We're good.

DA says this case has got
the makings of a hate crime.

That'll work,
but they were also in it for the money.

Got a confession out of one.

Spilled his guts.

Football players.
After the game they go knock back a few

and then go looking for
queers to beat up on.

Rip 'em off for their trick
money, pay the bar tab.

How'd the Strike Team do?

Fine. That one's a natural-born
undercover come-guzzler.

I heard that, bitch.

[LAUGHS]

You went off the grid today?

Who told you that?

I knew Tommy didn't do it.

Didn't like that Griggs asshole
trying to prove otherwise.

Today was a one-time thing.
Got it?

Got it.

You weren't at the
basher sting tonight?

I was there in spirit.
Busts got made.

You never disappeared
for a couple of hours

to help another cop?

You look like hell.

Is everything else all right?

Long day, that's all.

I replaced the
gasket on the filter.

It's working just fine again.

Thanks for doing that.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Matt having another session?

Not tonight.

Owen's here a lot
lately, isn't he?

Matthew's improving.

Something you want to tell me?

About what?

About you and Owen.

Did Cassidy say something?

No.

You walked by the door in your
panties without batting an eye

that he was just inside.

I don't have to
discuss this with you-

Yes, you do.

I want him the hell
away from Matthew.

He's not his father.

No, but he's here for him.

I'm not shelling
out my own money

so that the hired help can
play daddy to impress you.

Get rid of him.

He's an amazing teacher and
that's what you pay for.

Anything else is my business.

You know he has a record?

He got busted for
weed in college.

You've been checking up on him?

Damn straight.
He's alone with my son.

So he smoked a joint.

Wasn't possession.
It was for dealing.

It couldn't have
been that serious

if he got his
teaching certificate.

You date who you want,
but he's out of a job.

[DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS]

Talked to a buddy
over at Wilshire.

Arnovic's given a
full confession.

Good. Not good.

He's telling about how Tommy

had him break into his
ex's house last month.

What's that gonna mean for him?

Probably his job.

I didn't have a shot.

I know.

Did the right thing
riding with me today.

People saw you stepped up.

I'm going to church tonight.
I'll say a prayer for him.

For his wife and kid.

Say one for all of us.

It's now four hours past the
designated surrender time

of the alleged rapist who's
been terrorizing elderly women

in the Farmington
District of Los Angeles.

Is he sending a message
that it's your department

who is impotent?

You may as well turn this off,
'cause it's never gonna air.

We're chasing our tails.

LEM: Maybe we'd be better off

if the money train
never happened.

Give me a break.
VIC: Calm down, girls.

Now, we know Treasury's
got Aceveda checking bills

on any bust over a grand.
SHANE: So?

One of the uni's just logged
two large into Evidence.

We don't let that
money out of our sight,

we'll find the list
he's working with.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Here's your phone list and
your schedule for tomorrow.

Did you call Aurora back?

Not yet.

You really should.

I'll do it when I do it.

What? Somethings bothering you.

If it's anything that I did...

It's not, Nina.

Please, just check the bills in
Evidence like I asked you to.

What do you need?

Shane thinks he forgot to
sign that evidence envelope

from that 211. No, he signed it.

All right. Great.
I'll let him know.

DUTCH: He was never coming.

No.

I embarrass him,
he wanted to embarrass me.

Probably.

He's more self-controlled
than I gave him credit for.

We still got some time before
we have to get back to work.

You could buy me breakfast.

I'm broke.

We know where he
lives, where he hunts.

Now we've got him on tape.

Voice analysis will tell us

his ethnicity,
personality traits...

We're getting to know him.

I was wrong.

You were right.

Maybe a little.

Come on.

I'm buying.

Hey, Nina.

Could you help with the
computer in the briefing room?

It's not taking my access code.

I can't right now.
It's really kind of urgent.

I'm trying to access
this database.

I'm working on something for David.
Sorry.

[EXHALES]

Thank you.

Have a good night.

[BEEPING]

Close it.

List's in Aceveda's safe.

Well, so that's it.

Not necessarily.

RONNIE: What do you mean?

Ripping off the money train
was 10 times more complicated-.

SHANE: It's in a safe,
in a captain's office,

inside of a police station.

VIC: Without that list,
none of that money is any good.

[SOFTLY] Yeah.

Gotta be a way.

[TIT]
