All language subtitles for The SHIELD - S05 E04 - Tapa Boca (720p - BluRay)

Previously on The Shield:

I have an attorney for you.
I'm Becca Doyle.

If everything hinges on her,

I'd be a fool to
give up that hammer.

You were foolish
for letting me know

how important she is
to making your case.

You looking for more business?

Right now I'd like to go home
and wash this place off me.

Anyone from the department
been asking questions?

CORRINE: Someone has
been asking questions.

He said he was a parent

of an autistic child.

That him? Yeah.

Pitarrio, where's your stash?

KAVANAUGH: About six months ago,
we found this kilo of pure heroin

in your car,
but you never logged it into evidence.

Lem got picked up by IAD.
They got him wearing a wire.

KAVANAUGH: I'm
going after Mackey.

And his team.

And I'm gonna make
sure you don't blow it.

We got a Cl next to him,
and when he jumps dirty,

we'll know.

Here.

It's okay, I'm...

I'm on the clock.

I thought you were Vic's Cl.

Whoever's got the money.

LEM: Check, one, two.

Check, one, two.

Good. That's good.

KAVANAUGH: Hey.
I need admissions

from Mackey and the others

on crimes that they committed.

LEM: I mean, questions

make cops suspicious.

You walk out of the room
every time he opens his mouth.

You think I haven't noticed?
LEM: I'm just doing my job.

Vic and I aren't
attached at the hip.

KAVANAUGH: Well,
then get attached.

Because dragging this out,
trying to have it both ways,

you're torturing yourself.

KAVANAUGH: You made a choice.

It was the right one.

Now you gotta start
living with it.

Hold on a second, okay? Please.

I-|-l know it's your birthday.

You mentioned that you're a
fly-fisher on one of the tapes.

Thanks.

We're gonna be working together
for a while, you know...

KAVANAUGH: I know this is tough.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

But we're both

gonna make our way
through all of this,

Fight?

Yeah.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[LAUGHS]

VIC: I would have pegged
you for a corner office.

First time a police officer's
stepped foot in here.

I've got a case.
My schedule's full.

And I've been finding my
own cases since I was 30.

Not like this one.

Five minutes.

Everything I'm about to say

falls under
attorney-client privilege.

Yeah, but it doesn't obligate
me to take your case.

LAD's launched an investigation

into one of the guys
on my Strike Team.

I don't represent cops.

Especially corrupt ones.

We're good cops.

This is about the
system turning its back

on four of its own.

You'd better go somewhere else.

You shuffle gangbangers in
and out of jail all day.

This is a chance for you to
take a shot at the big boys.

BECCA: What do they have on him?

Claim they found a brick of
tar in his glove compartment.

It's bullshit. What else?

The only thing I know for sure

is that they're going
after my whole team.

Guy named Kavanaugh's in charge.

I'd dig into it myself,

but it would raise
too many red flags.

Now there's the first
real truth I've heard.

You wanna keep your knowledge
of the investigation secret.

No one would suspect
I'm working for you.

So we agree that you work for
me, then.

I've got an old boyfriend in
the City Attorney's office.

I'll ask a couple
questions, but that's it.

[WOMAN SOBBING]

Fiji, Barbados,

all those tropical
vacation places,

you're talking typhoons.

I'm just looking out for you.

Look out for the tape.

Angle looks car to car.

Bumper's got a dent,
could be fresh.

So maybe there's an
incident out on the road,

someone in the other car
shoots, victim veers off here.

CLAUDETTE: Oh, Christ.

Get additional units down here.

CLAUDETTE: Tell
Danny I said now.

Umbilical cord.

[Hm]

Checked the Amber
Alert requirements.

We don't have enough to file.

Somebody cut that baby
out of a woman's stomach.

Get a witness,
a description of the other car.

If they wanted the child,
why pump the mother with bullets?

CLAU DETTE: Someone wanted it

to look random.

The boyfriend?
BILLINGS: What do we know?

Works in a shop.
Hasn't been home since the murder.

I've got unis
stationed at the house.

The vultures are gathering.

I'll get rid of them.

Wait, wait. No, no, no.

Let's use them.
Somebody knows something.

We just need to pull
the right heartstrings.

All right, good.
You keep working, I'll do it.

Wilshire's not giving us any
bodies for the search team.

Not if we can't prove
the baby's alive.

That's bullshit. Call again.

No, I'll call.

Who would do
something like this?

What did the ex have to say?

Absolutely nothing.

And I called a couple ADA's
I went to school with-.

Quiet on all fronts. Good.

Not good. None of them offered
to look into it for me,

which means they know
something major's in motion.

What haven't you told me?

David Aceveda's name come
up with your friends?

The city councilman?

He's assisting Kavanaugh
with his investigation.

Why?

Because he used to
be captain here.

Had me, uh, pushing the
legal line a couple times,

when it meant getting a
killer off the street,

making him look
good to the voters.

Overseeing the investigation

means he can steer
it away from himself

make me and my guys
play the heavies.

Starting to get your
blood running yet?

I'm interested in the
true story of this heroin

they caught Lemansky with.

What does he say about it?

Haven't been able to ask him.

LAD's got him all wired up,
listening to our every word.

Well, they wouldn't make that
move unless they had a witness

or corroborating evidence.

I'll find out what I can.

Good.

Me too.

[BUZZES]

So the kid's about, uh,

well, here, right?

The knife goes in,
goes straight down,

gotta be careful
about the depth.

I'd say you wouldn't
need medical training.

So I tell the newshounds we're
not looking for Einstein,

just a garden-variety
psychopath, possibly a woman.

DUTCH: Usually it's a woman
who's recently lost a baby

or who's been claiming
to be pregnant.

I'm never gonna be able to
sleep until I have this kid.

You're not gonna get
any sleep then either.

Thanks.

911 received a call
at 5:17 this morning.

From a payphone one block from the scene.
They hung up.

That could be our
line to the baby.

So how we gonna find them?

You've gotta convince
them to come to us.

[SIGHS]

Need another cup?

Two should do it.

Hey,
we on that missing baby yet?

No, Dutch and Claudette
are handling it.

Captain wants us available
to round up all the, uh,

other miscellaneous sickos.

Listen, man,
I'll be back in a few.

I gotta take a dump.

Smells like you already did.

We got five minutes to hear
what's going on with Kavanaugh.

VIC: Every detail.
He suspects I'm protecting you.

All right? I've been
helpful, but not too helpful.

Nothing he can check out.

Any chance he's got a witness?

Someone who saw
you take that tar?

Shit. Pitarrio.

Or Emolia.
I mean, she was in the house too.

I got a six-month relationship with her.
She's solid.

Pitarrio's the one
with an ax to grind.

If they got Pitarrio,
man, I'm screwed.

We don't know that yet,

but we're gonna find out.

No, he puts that
heroin in my car,

makes lAD's case, what then?

First-time offender,
you'd do, what,

five years max, probably less?

VIC: Shane. Look, I'm just...

I'm just saying.

Worst case scenario,

you refuse to wear the wire

you let Kavanaugh arrest you.

We'll work behind the
scenes to undermine him.

You'll seal us off from
this, right?

The shit you've done and
I'm the one going to jail?

Nobody's going away.

Hasn't been a jam yet we
haven't slipped out of.

Hasn't been a witness
or an IAD cop.

VIC: Nobody jumped ship

when Antwon had your
balls in a sling-

I was willing to put a bullet
into him to keep it off of you.

We got you out of that
before you had to.

Exactly what we'll do for Lem.

But if we can't,

you're gonna look out for
us, right?

Yeah.

SHANE: Okay.

Okay.

We're gonna get
you clear of this.

Now, Ronnie and I'll
track down Pitarrio,

and we'll squeeze his balls.

I hate this.

VIC: Don't worry, we got you.

Let's get the wire back on.

What kind of person cuts a baby
out of its mother's stomach?

The kind that should
have been an abortion.

There's the man.

Give me a sec. For what?

Aceveda's been updating
me on a few things.

Be right back.

VIC: Councilman.

A moment of your time.

What is it?

[RADIO PLAYING]

Some asshole dumped a few
couches over on Benton,

I got a La-Z-Boy over on Scott.

Bums find that out,

it's a Motel 6.

You screeched up here

to talk to me about
trash pickups?

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Six Paul
11, Six Paul 11.

Billings is too squirrelly to
ask the city for an extra dime.

Someone's gotta do it.

Hey, we got a 187.

Anyway,

Farmington's garbage
is your area.

That's a little
below my pay grade.

Call someone in Waste Removal.

Okay.

But I'd hate to see your entire
district become a fire hazard.

Get what you need?

Yeah, he was very helpful.

The car was headed south.
Down there.

Hank Preminger.
Explorer came around the corner,

started blasting at him
as he exited the diner.

SHANE: Nice piece.

VIC: Let this be
a cautionary tale.

You find our heroin dealer?

Pitarrio cleared out of his house.
He's a ghost.

Only sign of life was a
couple of squatter crackheads.

Hey. Telephone worker got
a bird's eye from the pole.

He get a plate for the SUV? No.

But he gave unis a partial
plate on a witness.

Another white guy,
jumped in his ride

after the shooting, took off.

All right.
You guys work your angle.

Lem and I'll figure
out who's got a problem

with the Hair Club for Men.

All right, Vic.

BILLINGS: That baby
is still out there.

This disgusting crime occurred

at approximately 5:15 a.m.
this morning.

BILLINGS: So we beg you,
while the baby can still be saved

please call if you
have any information

about the traffic altercation

that led to the heinous
murder of Isabel Arrington.

We need you to call our tip line.
Time is of...

I, uh, pulled the records
of every single person

who worked with
Isabel Arrington.

So far just petty stuff.

Here's our, uh,
grieving boyfriend.

Your neighbor told us Isabel
was screwing somebody else.

That's bullshit.
Baby probably wasn't yours.

Don't you say that.
You goddamn liar.

If the baby's alive, tell us.

Oh, God.

Please let him be alive.
It's a boy?

You notice that when you cut
him out of lsabel's stomach?

We did one of those scans.

We saw his stuff.

You gotta believe me.

Okay. Um, we'll get somebody
to give you a ride home.

Stay by the phone.
I may have more questions.

You accuse me of slicing my baby

out of my girl's stomach

and now you want me to
go home and wait on you?

We're sorry for your loss.

I don't want your
damn apologies.

I want you to find out
who did this to her

and where my baby is.

VIC: Victim did a stint
in Lompoc eight years ago.

Been clean ever since.

No family,
but coworkers at the pet store

said he's got no enemies.

These matches to the partial
plate on the witness?

Yeah-I ruled out 50 of them-.

Got about a half-dozen
possibles here.

Pitarrio hasn't been
arrested in six months.

That's the longest he's
gone since he turned 18.

He's off the grid.

If the feds picked him up

and he made a deal
to give up Lem,

that arrest wouldn't
show up on his record.

Check this out.
Leon Frankel lives

in the same building
as our victim.

Turns out they both got
their GEDs in Lompoc.

Well, let's find out
why Hank's study buddy

didn't stick around
to talk to the police.

LEM: We looking at this
guy as a coward or suspect?

Hey, whichever jacket fits.

Hold on, hold on.

Is that Leon Frankel? That's me.

We were looking for him.
What did he do?

We were canvassing on that baby.

He threw a bottle at the
car, cracked the windshield.

Then he asked if he could
smell my sweet spot.

Even Shane stopped
using that line.

Pretty stupid way to get
yourself arrested, Leon.

LEON: I had a bad day.

That bad day include seeing your
pal Hank Preminger shot dead?

A friend of mine was in trouble,

I'd do everything I
could to help him out.

VIC: Sit down.

LEON: I-| was scared,

I heard shots, I ran.

Hey, look,
maybe if I sit here for a while,

something will come to me.

You're walking down the street

with your enemy-free
friend, Hank.

Shots go off, he's dead.

But you know those bullets
were meant for you.

Now you're not safe.

You're too damn cheap to spend
2O bucks on a fleabag motel.

You get yourself arrested
'cause it's safer in here

than it is out there.

Only we're not your
goddamn bodyguards.

Who did it?

I-| don't know.

Get out.

What? Get out.

Get the... Get out.

Now... No, look, wait a second.

I remember a green SUV.

Great. Think of anything
else, give us a call.

I'm releasing Leon on
his own recognizance.

Wait,
he's supposed to post bail.

I'm overriding bail.

You're gonna get me
killed out there.

That's a chance I'm
willing to take.

Okay, okay. Come on, please.

Couple days ago, I had a client
fell behind on his payments.

Awesome pool player.
Now, I knew this guy, right?

He did me a solid
back in the day.

We used to hang out
at Gary's Tavern...

Cut to the part where
someone wants to kill you.

My boss, Gus, wanted me to take
a crowbar to his right arm,

and if I did that,

his break would
never be the same.

So I gave him an extra 24 hours.

VIC: Most loan sharks

don't take too kindly

to independent thinking.

Gus never would have known,

but this ungrateful
prick disappears

with the 40 large he owes-.

Now Gus thinks we
split the money,

and he wants me dead.

And your friend Hank takes
the hit meant for you.

Oh, I feel like shit about that.

Who shot at you?

I'll bet you anything

it was that little
ass-suck works for Gus.

He's always trying to
hone in on my business.

VIC: What's his name?

I don't know.
I just call him ass-suck.

[KNOCK]

Excuse me while I get a Kleenex
for the rest of this sob story.

LEON: I-it's a protection game.

See, I got all these young
guys coming up behind me.

It's like no one wants
Leon to get ahead.

Jesus, what took so long?

I had to track
Pitarrio through INS.

Miguelez Construction registered
his social security number

two months ago.

Scumbag got a real job?
Working at a site on Hillhurst.

If Pitarrio's breaking a sweat,
you know he's in with the feds.

Let me wrap this up.

KAVANAUGH: Hey.

You're early.

So am I. Heh-heh.

How's Andy?

He's good, actually.

He's inside.

Um, I was wondering,

how old was Andy when
he was diagnosed?

Around three.

There's an Andy at this
school, but he's not your son.

What's going on?

When were you planning on
telling me you're a cop?

Who told you that? Nobody.

I was married to one.
I see them every day in the ER.

You all walk the same.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, we do.

I'm a lieutenant. IAD.

You'd make a good
detective, Corrine.

I don't know what you want,
or why you've been lying to me,

but stay away. Miss Mackey.

Your husband and his team
are under investigation.

So what? I was his wife,

not his partner.

I don't know what your
involvement is yet,

but you and I are gonna
do a lot more talking.

And you mention anything to him
about me or this investigation,

and it's obstruction of justice.

So I find out that you told him,

that he learned anything
about this case,

it's on you and that's prison.

KAVANAUGH: We'll talk later.

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't a baby,

just so you know.

It's very generous
of you to come in.

Could you tell us what you saw?

That pregnant lady decided she
had to turn all of a sudden.

Almost drove into
that other car.

Other car... Think it was white.

Goes honking, gets
crazy, starts shooting.

911 put me on hold.

Five-thirty in the morning.

So I hung up.

You said you saw something on the car?
That could help?

The white car had one of those
decals on the back window.

What did the decal say?

"Jevontrey."

I have a nephew named Devontrey,

so I remembered the decal.

It was one of those R.l.P. ones.

VIC [ON RECORDING]: Kind that
should have been an abortion.

There's the man.
Give me a second.

LEM: For what?

VIC: Aceveda's been
updating me on a few things.

Be right back.

Councilman,
a moment of your time.

ACEVEDAI What is it?

[RADIO PLAYING] [KNOCK AT DOOR]

Come in.

So you said you have an update.

Lemansky's birthday's today.

His pals, they either don't know

or they just don't care.

That's the update?

My best friend forgot my
birthday, I'd be pissed.

This could be a way in.

[SCOFFS]

Anything interesting
happen with you today?

Like what?

Like visitors?

Mackey? He came by the office.

What about?

Some bullshit
sanitation complaint.

He just wants to
shove it in my face

that he's de facto
running the Barn.

You didn't call him?

Don't have regular sit-down
meetings with him or anything?

Just trying to figure out

which uniform you're wearing,

councilman.

Well,
it sure as hell isn't Mackey's.

Sorry for getting you down here.

Next time I have
a-a birthday alert,

I'll just call you on the phone.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

You're not safe here anymore.

I'm taking you.
We gotta go. Gotta move.

Why? What happened?

Got a couple of possible leaks.

Get your stuff,

whatever Sebastio needs.

You said Vic wouldn't find out.

I'm not saying that he has.

Either way, he calls,
you don't answer.

He comes by,
you're not gonna even be here.

The volume on this thing
just got turned way up.

Let's go.

Pitarrio. One of yours?

Well, as far as I know.
Guy's right over there.

VIC: Pitarrio.

Si.

Yes, I am Pitarrio.

Nice try, dickwad.
We know the guy.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Where is he?

Give me your papers.
Let's see 'em.

Let's see it.

All right,
you got a job off this.

What did Pitarrio
get for his papers?

He... He... He got dead.

Dead? What?

You sure he's not laying low?

Taking a cut off your
hard-earned money, huh?

No. Three months ago we
were down in El Salvador,

doing a heroin deal.

The Sombra Negra,

it got to him and it
sliced his neck in half.

SHANE: Look,
you gotta consider Emolia.

They might have some other
kind of corroborating evidence

against Lem.

She's got a messed-up kid.

She's got no job.

Look, IAD offers her a deal,

she could've jumped at it.

I've spent time with this girl.
And the boy.

She's not gonna turn on me.

Well, just call her, then.

Check in.

Emolia.

Emolia.

VIC: Sir?

Have you seen the
woman who lives here?

[BOTH SPEAK SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Gracias.

Thanks.

I've got every
decal place in town

checking special orders.

Meantime,
I need an extra pair of eyes.

Three years of
death in LA County.

Holler if you see a Jevontrey.

[RINGS]

Wagenbach. CORRINE: Dutch,

it's Corrine.

You there?

Hey. What's...?

I need to ask you
some questions.

Oh, I c... I can't...
I can't right now.

Please.

I'm pulling up now.
It's important.

Sorry,
I didn't know who else to call.

I-| can't stay long.
What's going on?

Promise this stays between us.

Promise you're gonna
give straight answers

no matter what you think of Vic.

Of course. What is it?

Some IAD guy's
been to the school,

trying to get me to
say things about him.

LAD's into Vic?
I wonder what they got on him.

I mean, probably,
take your pick.

Listen, I don't know.

He's threatened to send me
to jail if I said anything

or if I don't cooperate.

I need to know if
he's bullshitting.

I mean, can he send me to jail?

Well, a lot of times
the person who goes down

didn't do the original crime.

They found out about it
afterwards, lied, covered it up.

Well,
what about spousal privilege?

They can't force you to
talk, but if they can prove

you knew about Vic's actions,
it makes you a co-conspirator.

"What happens to your kids
if something happens to you?"

You see?

You're their best
leverage against him.

But I don't know anything.

Well,
then take away their leverage.

Be completely
upfront and honest.

I-|-I'm sorry,
I've really gotta go.

Hey, um,
why would someone take prednisone?

I don't know, a lot of reasons.

Arthritis, lupus, um,
asthma, Crohn's disease.

It's a common anti-inflammatory.

Thanks. I-I'm sorry.

You don't have to memorize every picture.
Just flip.

Flip it, man.

You want me to make a mistake?

Hey, cut the guy some
slack, all right?

He's got a target on his back.

Emolia, it's me again.

Got a Salvadoran thing going on.

It's kind of time-sensitive,
so call me back.

I need some air.

I'll come with.

That's the guy
that works for Gus.

That's ass-suck right there.

LEM: Justin Lamott.

Emolia's gone.
Neighbor saw her leave with a black guy.

Kavanaugh. You call her cell?

Three times, including just now.

You're her paycheck.

When's the last time she didn't
call you back in five minutes?

If Kavanaugh got to her somehow,

it's nothing I
can't turn around.

He's probably got her
stashed at a safe house.

Come on. Yeah.

Had to start with Pitarrio.

IAD flips him,
shithead ends up dead.

They got nothing.

They go to Emolia,
twist her against her will.

What does she know about
besides the heroin?

Nothing. I've kept her clean.

Is there any chance Lem's
working with these guys?

See,
that's what Kavanaugh wants.

For us to doubt each other.

This guy's using every angle.

Prick talked to Corrine
at our kids' school.

This guy's chatting up your ex?

You think you might
have mentioned that?

I just did. Warn Mara.

Ronnie, tell whatever
you're banging this week,

don't talk to strangers.

All I need is five
minutes with Emolia

to coach her on what to say,

let her know we're
there to help her.

Trust me, we find her,
this whole thing goes away.

Well, how are we gonna find her?

Hey,
we got an ID on our shooter.

Justin Lamott. Vehicle matches.

Yeah,
better luck than we're having.

We're gonna need to stick
Leon in a safe house

until we make the arrest.

All right.

I got a list of
available HUD houses.

All right, let me see.

These are for captains
and above only.

Captain, they found the baby.

[SIGHS]

Won't leave your office.

The bones in his chest are
essentially pulverized.

Pulverized? How?

I'd say a fist.

Somebody punched a newborn?

Stepped on him, maybe.

There's a variety of trauma.

Skull fracture,
knife wound on the left leg...

I'll know more later.

Thanks for the rush.

On this one? Anything you need.

CLAUDETTE: Atyphoon in Fiji's
looking pretty good right now.

Did we even have a chance?

Crime scene says
he died hours ago.

DUTCH: It's a special
kind of monster.

Yeah, and that monster's
name is Tevares Glade.

Just got a call back from
a decal place on Pico.

Two years ago,
Tevares placed a special order there.

"R.l.P. Jevontrey."

In honor of a dead uncle.
Pulled his record.

Tevares drives a
white Monte Carlo.

And has six arrests,
all for violent crimes

four of 'em with a Sean Deeks.

Why do two men

cut a baby out of
a woman's stomach

just to beat him to death?

There were more than two of them.
Look.

In the blood.

Fingerprints.
Jesus, he's covered in them.

The big ones? Tevares Glade or Sean Deeks.
Maybe both.

But the little ones...

You think maybe there
was a girl here too?

Ass-suck, 12 o'clock.

SHANE: Out of six
rounds, this dude manages

four in the wall,
two in the wrong guy.

Loan shark should have
hired a professional.

Some shit to be dealing
with on my birthday.

It's your birthday?
We should get wasted, man.

Yeah. Hey, buddy.

Hey. You, uh...

You Justin? Why?

Why? Gus sent us.

He's pissed off about the way
things went down this morning.

You shot the wrong guy.

Didn't.
I seen the prick hit the ground.

Saw his friend hit the ground.
You just confessed to murder.

You wanna spare yourself,
tell us where to find Gus.

Gus. All right. All right.

[DOOR OPENS]

Justin lD'd the loan shark.
Got 'em both.

You tell Leon he's in the clear?

Yeah, freak tried to hug me.

But you insisted on the blowjob.

[vlc LAUGHS]

I must have ate
something this morning.

Third time I gotta shit today.

VIC: Be sure to inform us

of number four.

All right, look.
Pitarrio's a dead end. Literally.

We think Kavanaugh's gonna try
to get Emolia to give you up.

I don't think she
saw me take the H.

Good. Meantime, Vic's convinced

a little TLC puts
her on our side.

Kavanaugh finds out we got to
her, this blows up.

We even know where she is?

Ronnie and I checked out the safe houses.
Came up empty.

But her son has occupational
therapy twice a week.

Emolia won't let
Sebastio miss those.

I chased down this
therapist's unfaithful wife

in exchange for sessions
for Emolia's kid.

Okay, what do you want me to do?

Just put on your wire,

head home,

kick back your
feet, have a beer.

VIC: Kavanaugh's
turning up the heat.

We think, uh...

We think he might be planning
to formally arrest you.

That happens,
we'll be ready to bail you out.

SHANE: Hey.

Okay.

All right.

Hey, uh, I need you two guys.

This old man here.

He's been waiting
here for hours.

Apparently, some asshole's

been moving around the
'hood in a camper trailer.

Guy sets up streamers, flags.
Whole thing's very patriotic.

He's selling care packages
and bogus body armor

to our troops in Iraq.

DAN NY: Grandpa here paid 300
bucks for a state-of-the-art vest.

His grandson called,
told him he got it in the mail...

Let me guess. Piece of shit.

Yep.

Go pull the car.

Glad to see you two
kids are working it out.

Yeah.

Your PR instructor said

you weren't in class
the other night.

Yeah, well,
something about almost having to blow

a van full of skin peddlers

made me wanna go home and
drink a bottle of wine.

I wasn't up for baton
training that night.

So you missed a class
with no valid excuse.

I took three classes already.

And when exactly do you lay off?

When I feel safe
riding with you.

There's our patriot.

["HAIL TO THE CHIEF"
PLAYING ON STEREO]

Put him in the cage.

All right, officer.

What's a little bit like
you doing being a cop?

Put your hands on
top of your head.

What'd he do?

Is he a murderer?

[SIGHS]

Hey. Listen, I know we're
short-handed and everything,

but do you think I
can get reassigned?

What, you want a different T.O.?

I've tried with Julien,
I really have...

Look, there's murderers in here.

And rapists and shit.

I can't be in here
with murderers.

I've taken three
baton classes...

I'm just a drunk.

It's Julien.
He keeps checking on me.

You gotta have a
room or something.

We don't have... We don't have a room.
This isn't an inn.

All right, this guy's in
here for resisting arrest.

And this guy's in here
for scamming grandpas

into buying bogus body armor

for their grandkids
over in Iraq.

No murderers. So don't get
your panties up in a bunch.

Same goes for you.

Found your fingerprints on the
baby, Tevares.

Dried in the mother's blood.

Sean and Tevares
killed that lady

so you could have the baby.

And then what?

It got too much
for you to handle.

He cried too much.

So you let them
beat him to death.

We also have your friends.
We've got their fingerprints.

Pretty soon,
one of them's gonna start to talk.

Good attorney just says they
found the baby in a dumpster.

Fingerprints mean they
tried to revive it.

Think the girl's the way to go?

She's our best shot.

You want me to give it a run?

I've got someone else in mind.

DANNY [ON INTERCOM]:
Okay, I feel him.

Like right here.

It's his foot.
You wanna touch it?

You know, I didn't even
ever really want a baby.

But now...

I guess you're too young

to know what I'm talking about.

All those maternal
feelings and all.

Which is why I'm thinking
that you did the cutting.

No. Oh, come on.

Those idiots you're
hooked up with,

they wouldn't know
how to make a baby

much less cut one
out of somebody.

Feel it?

That man lost his baby son,

his girlfriend...

Bitch brought that on herself.

Is that why you
wanted that baby?

You didn't think she'd
be a good enough mother?

Shit, we didn't even
know she was pregnant.

DANNY: When you shot her?

She almost ran us off the road.

My man don't stand for that.

She almost killed us,

so shooting her was,
like, self-defense,

Fight?

We didn't see the belly
till she got out the car

and started trying to run.

They was just gonna drive off,

but I said, "No.
We gotta save the baby."

They was thinking

they was gonna sell it.

But my sister, Myesha,

she had two abortions
when she was my age.

Now she wants a baby,

but those doctors messed up
something in there and so...

I thought maybe
she could take him.

But then the baby
wasn't breathing right.

So we did

the stuff you see
on doctor shows.

We cleared out his mouth
and turned him upside down.

But that didn't work, did it?

So I made Tevares
do that CPR stuff,

and the minute he
pressed down...

we heard everything crack.

That's enough.

We was just trying to save him.
Just...

Just stop talking.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

They've given this Kavanaugh
carte blanche to work your case.

Any resources he needs.

What's Kavanaugh
trying to nail you for?

Because this isn't about
some misplaced heroin.

Aceveda and the Department need
a poster boy for corruption

to sell their softer,
gentler force to the voters.

Why pick you as a scapegoat?

You're a push-the-envelope
kind of lawyer.

I'm a push-the-envelope
kind of cop.

Which Aceveda sanctioned.

This really does go to the top.

Those are some pretty
high-powered cages to rattle.

So you'll represent us?

Just you.

No.

We're a team.
The four of us come as a package.

I've seen these things go down.

Everyone eventually needs
to look out for themselves.

You don't understand.

We're not the typical
lowlifes that you represent.

We're a family.

We're surviving this together
or we go down together.

Hey. Hey! Shit.

I need some officers in
here, quick!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

You goddamn terrorist!

[MEN SHOUTING]

Stand back!

[WOMAN SHOUTING IN SPANISH]

[MEN SHOUTING]

JULIEN: What the
hell are you doing?

What? You took your
gun into the cage?

Someone could have
grabbed your weapon!

Do you see all these
people around you, huh?

JULIEN: Look at me.

You trying to kill one of them?

Or you trying to kill one of us?

MAN 1: Hopefully one of you.

[MAN 2 SPEAKS SPANISH]

[MEN LAUGH]

MAN 2: Where you going,
pretty thing, huh?

[Soss]

You know why you're dangerous?

'Cause this isn't
real for you yet.

So you're gonna get on me too?

If you wanna be a cop,

you gotta recognize
your mistakes.

Learn from 'em.

All I've done is try
to be nice to you.

To everyone.

You got a problem with me,
it's because of your own shit.

See, you're used to being
the queen bee around here.

But you don't get much attention
now with those stretch marks.

So you're gonna make
my life miserable.

Every cop here
has made mistakes.

Including you.

And I bet you anything

all of you got cut
more slack than me.

If you go out of this room

with that sniffly nose
and those red eyes,

those guys will never,
ever respect you.

So you pull your shit together.

Jesus, it's bitches like
you that make the job hard

for the rest of us.

Hey, man,

where is she?

She hasn't come out yet.

VIC: She should have been out.

You sure you saw her go in?

Yeah, man,
unless she went out the back.

Okay, here we go.

Get in.

SHANE: She getting
an IAD escort?

Hey, hang loose.
They might be watching.

[WATCH BEEPS]

You're not going on
vacation, are you?

Oh, haven't decided where yet.

No. Um...

You're sick.

How sick?

Dutch, I was here yesterday.

I'm here today.
I'll be here tomorrow.

I don't know what that means.

I'm your partner.

Look, all that stuff I said

about you not being
committed, checked out...

I'm s... Dutch.

It's okay.

I gotta go take these pills.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Anybody shows up, you call me.

Vic. What the hell?

You didn't return
any of my calls.

I got worried.

This dealer was
giving me a hard time.

I had to get away.
Sebastio asleep?

Those sessions
take it out of him.

What's up with you?

When did IAD approach you? What?

Kavanaugh.
What's he trying to get you to say?

No, I don't know a Kavanaugh.

Why are you lying to me?

I'm sorry, Vic.

What happened?

Did he come to you,

threaten to put you in jail
if you didn't cooperate, huh?

Because there's a way out of
this, you know.

[WHIMPERS]

What'd you tell him?

That I saw

your guy take the heroin.

That's it.

All right. It's okay.

Soon as we get you out of town,

your statement
won't mean anything.

No, l-|-l can't leave.

Kavanaugh's squeezing you.
I can make it go away.

I'm gonna pack your shit.
But Sebastio.

I'm gonna take him
to your mother's.

I'll make sure he
gets back with you.

Vic.

I didn't know you then.

What?

You've been behind
this all along?

[WHIMPERS]

You tipped IAD about the heroin.

If had to do it over
again, I'd have said no.

You've been good
to me and Sebastio.

You didn't...?
You didn't say anything?

You never warned me?

All this goddamned time?

I told him that...

Shut up!

[WHIMPERS]

[SIGHS] Oh, God.

[WHIMPERING]

He checks in on me, Vic.
He'll be here.

What else did you tell him?

Nothing. I swear.

Six months.

Six months you could
have warned me!

God...!

One of my men, maybe all of us,

are going to jail
because of you.

I was scared.

I helped your son!

I tried to get you
out of this life!

[SHRIEKS, WHIMPERS]

I'll leave tonight.

And go where?
To a phone booth to call Kavanaugh?

No.

Without you,
lAD's case goes away.

[SOBBING]

You knew what I was

when you started
running with me.

I report on people for
money, Vic.

That's what I do!

[M UTTERS]

[SCREAMS]

[Soss]

[WHIMPERS]

[PHONE RINGS]

Hound you once.

I can do it again.

[RINGING PERSISTS]

Come here.

Who'd you call today? What?

On your cell phone,
who did you call?

Only my cousin a few hours ago.

You called her to
get a message to her,

to tell me how to find you.

Got it?

[DOOR OPENS]

Oh, Jesus, it's you.

Detective Mackey.

What are you doing here?

[LAUGHS]

It's my Cl.
What the hell are you doing here?

Emolia's helping us

with a Salvadoran drug ring.

IAD. Vice.

You're a jack of all trades.

I'm sorry. Did I miss something?

Why is it that you're here?

I got spooked.

Called my cousin.

She called Vic for me.

VIC: Next time you
hide one of my Cls,

put a car out front.

This isn't safe.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[Hm]
