Going down just like you said.

And make sure the other Russians can't make us.

Oh yeah?

Hey.

Who the fuck are you?

A concerned citizen.

You better be concerned 'cause I'm gonna friggin' kill you.

You're gonna try.

Who are you?

Agent White, Drug Enforcement Agency.

I work hard as grocer to make something in your country

and then my cousin Nicolai he arrives in the US

and he tell me if I no work for him then I die.

This is what he do to me, he cut my finger

to make me believe him that he kill me.

I understand.

I'm offering you a way out Andre.

Clean.

You get to pay back Rodchenko, and be free of him forever.

We'll put you in the Witness Protection Program,

give you a new identity, nice place to live.

We'll even get you started in your own grocery business.

What'd you say?

If he find out,...

he kill me.

I won't let that happen.

Okay, okay what you want me to do?

There's a 20 million dollar deal going down soon

and Rodchenko's gonna be there.

How you know about this?

We're pros Andre.

Unfortunately what we don't know is where

and when this deal's taking place.

You tell us that and you'll be free of Rodchenko forever.

Nico has not told me yet but I know

that it's going to be in a few days

in Los Angeles.

Keep 'em.

Book us on a flight to L.A. first thing tomorrow morning.

And call the Metro Police and let them know that

we're gonna do a briefing at the DEA headquarters.

You got a brother down there don't you?

Yeah.

Unit 39, 211 in progress,

hostage involved respond code three,

to 646 West Spring street.

Ten four, I'm on it.

What's going on?

I got three armed perps in there

holding the owner of the antique store.

Alright, I'm going in.

Jack, try to stay with the tactical procedure alright?

Don't worry commander,

I'll make sure we don't need any body bags.

You in the store,...

I'm coming in.

Unarmed, just wanna talk.

No tricks.

This sucker's coming in.

You in charge?

What the fuck's it to you?

Cut your losses.

You'll be back out in the street in a couple of months.

Just lay down your guns.

Our guns?

Whatever you say officer.

Yeah the alarm, can we turn it off?

Yes sir, yes sir.

I saw it on the news. Are you okay?

What, you were worried about me?

You know I hate it when you take risks like that.

Kiss me.

Jack?

Kevin called, he's coming in tonight.

Really?

Special agent big shot's gonna bless us with his presence huh?

I asked him to stay with us.

Oh, you still have the hots for my little brother huh?

Jack.

Stay home tonight.

I can't, I'm working a second shift tonight.

- Jack. - What?

What's up?

You trying to make lieutenant?

It pays more right pop?

Special agent White am I right?

- Grunsky, nice to meet ya. - Nice to meet you.

Lieutenant Evans Metro Narcotics,

special agent White from our Washington office.

Nicolai Rodchenko, Belgrade Russia, former KGB,

surfaced in L.A. about 24 months ago with legal work visas.

He owns an import export business right here in Los Angeles.

I know this guy.

We took a look at him last year on a tip.

His business is clean.

That's right, his import business is clean

but his real business is running drugs, lots of them.

And he's only gonna get bigger, and more powerful unless we stop him.

Rodchenko's creating a new Russian mafia.

And he's hiring ex-KGB to buy, and distribute all over the west coast.

- KGB? - That's right.

Because of Glasnost they're running around like...

loose cannons looking for scores.

So what's your plan agent White?

Catch Rodchenko in the act.

He's got a major buy going down with his new recruits.

These guys are pros, real pros.

I got an informant working inside.

You don't look well cousin.

Allergies.

And your trip?

Our friends were very happy to make down payment.

I was wondering if um,...

the shipment has reached the US?

Very soon.

Why do you ask?

No, no reason but...

we only have few days and well...

Why don't you have to get some rest cousin?

You look like shit.

Yes, yes Nico, I, I, I will do that.

Thank you.

- Kevin. - Hey.

Come in.

It's your favorite color isn't it?

- It's beautiful. - Try it on.

Oh it's really lovely Kevin, thank you.

You're welcome.

Come on your dad's staying too.

Everything alright?

You sounded funny on the phone.

Anything wrong with dad?

No, no, no your dad's fine.

Jack?

It's Jack isn't it?

I don't know Kevin.

He's not the same anymore,

he doesn't talk to me.

Maybe it's the job, it can do that to you.

No, no it's not the job, he's married to the job not me.

Overtime, double shifts, we never see each other.

No he's strange it's...

- I'll talk to him. - No.

Kevin no, no that'll, that'll only make it worse.

Come on, let's go see your dad.

Guess who's here.

Hello dad.

Kevin, oh God.

The DEA people keeping you busy?

Yeah.

Here.

Your brother's making quite a name for himself.

First through the door, just like you taught us.

Jack's a very busy boy.

How you doing dad?

Well, me and my arthritis we're on a first name basis

with old Mr. Darby.

Want a shot?

Okay.

Here we go.

Looks good honey.

So, what's the DEA paying these days?

Not enough.

That's a pretty nice suit Kev.

Yeah he's a regular big shot now right Kev?

Got the master's degree, the whole nine yards.

Well you could've gone to college Jack.

Yeah, only thing I was missing were the grades.

Besides one of us had to get outta town.

You had a DEA scholarship, I got to take care of pop.

So what case brings you to L.A. Kev?

Russian gangsters.

The Russian's over here?

Yeah ex-KGB running drugs.

No shit, in my backyard.

That's right in your backyard Jack.

Yeah, there's a major buy going down in a few days

except I'm gonna crash their little party.

How much we talking about?

20 mil.

Whoa.

Well it looks like I'm on the wrong side of the law.

You need some help with these Russians you let me know alright?

I think I have everything under control, thanks.

I think you'd be better off letting Jack help.

I mean he has an eye for these things, don't you Jack?

Why don't you have another drink pop?

No I think I'll turn in instead.

Hey, let me give you a hand with--

Hell no, thanks.

Here let me grab that bag for ya.

Dad's putting away the booze like, like he owns stock in the company.

How long has he been like that?

About a year.

You know, why don't you come around more often?

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't take it personal little brother.

Hey I've been working on a couple of moves.

Feel like sparring?

I'm a little tired. How about tomorrow?

Come on, it'll be like old times.

I'll go easy on ya.

- Still quick huh? - Quicker.

That's one of the new moves I've been working on.

- That's good, I like that one. - You like that one?

I got one for you too.

That's good.

It's not bad huh?

Here help me up will ya?

You shouldn't drop your guard little brother.

You can get in trouble that way.

What's your problem Jack?

Fuck you Kevin.

Now we're even.

We're not ever gonna be even.

Andre we are running out of time.

I need to know exactly when, and where the buy is taking place.

Yes, yes I'm meeting with Nico tonight.

But if Nico find out what I do

then he kill me for sure.

Nothing will happen to you okay?

Look you're not wearing a wire,

I've kept surveillance off Nico,

unless you open your mouth there's no reason, for him to suspect you.

Okay?

I give you my word Andre.

Thank you.

So this is who the snitch works for.

Who the hell are you?

We're gonna be partners Nico.

Sergei.

White, Sargent, Metro division.

Well you've made a big mistake coming here sargent.

No, you've made the mistake, trusting this guy.

You see, because of him

the police know all about your little deal.

Why do you think I'm here?

Who's this man?

Looks like a cop.

- He's a buyer. - A buyer?

Yes.

You've made business deals on your own now?

No Nico of course not, you don't understand.

The photos were taken this morning.

The other man in the picture's a Drug Enforcement Agent,

your boy is working for him.

That is a lie, he is a liar!

Shut!

You sell me to the cop?

He was getting away.

Now, without my help, your little business deal

is gonna get you busted.

And what is it exactly that you want Sargent White?

Oh a small percentage.

An even one million dollars.

One million.

Keep the police off your back.

Which won't be easy once they find out their informant's missing.

And what if I choose to expose you?

Well, then it's gonna be your word against mine.

And mine carries a little more weight with the police department.

So,...

do we have a deal?

You've got balls Sargent, I like that.

So we have a deal.

Good.

I'll be in touch.

Good work.

Come on Andre.

Hey, hey!

Keys mother fucker, I'm taking the car. Give me the keys.

Give me the keys.

A big guy like you doesn't need a gun.

I'll break your ass in half. Give me the fucking keys.

You'll try.

L.A., it hasn't changed.

Come in agent White do you copy?

Hal what's up?

We've got a serious problem. Better come down to the coroner's.

On my way.

US Customs, officer Sirkin speaking.

I'm calling to check on the shipment.

Yes Mr. Rodchenko you're goods have arrived

and I will personally make sure they clear customs.

Oh thank you my friend.

They will arrive in Los Angeles by truck as you requested.

A token of our appreciation is on it's way.

Thank you Mr. Rodchenko.

The frigging Ventura Freeway.

I gave him my word.

Don't blame yourself.

How did Rodchenko find out huh?

What the hell happened?

Dasvidaniya Rodchenko.

We have bad news.

The police department's in on it now.

Joint task force.

What?

Andre's homicide happened in their backyard,

section 139A says we can't move on Rodchenko without them.

What next?

Lieutenant Evans is expecting us.

I know why you're here Jack the answer's no.

This is a joint task operation

and team work isn't exactly your specialty.

I want in on it.

I'm well aware of who your brother is Sargent,

but this isn't your area.

Come on lieutenant.

You need good people on this.

Now I'm asking you as one professional to another.

Alright Jack but I don't want any cowboy stuff on this you hear me?

You got it.

So what are you working on a double region one?

Why don't you ask him?

What are you doing here?

He's part of the team.

You don't have a problem with that do you agent White?

Good, then let's continue.

We're gonna put Rodchenko under 24 hours surveillance.

We don't wanna scare him off.

That's the first thing Rodchenko'd be expecting after what's transpired.

Do we have any idea how the drugs are coming in?

Not yet but Rodchenko can't afford to sit on 'em either.

Alright here's how this'll work.

I'll run the operation from here,

special agent White you'll be first in charge in the field.

You two can work together since you get along so well.

I prefer to work with my own team.

Whether you like it or not agent White,

Andre Asinoff's homicide placed us first in charge.

So you can either get with the program

or you can pack your bags and head back to D.C.

This is my case Jack.

You want another medal use somebody else not me.

What the hell's the problem with us partnering up?

Look you wanna lead Kevin, I'll follow.

Don't fuck with me on this Jack, understand?

Yeah, so where are we going?

A funeral.

A funeral, why?

Andre had a sister.

Hey I gotta change my clothes.

I'll meet you downstairs in a minute.

Yeah.

Yeah it's me.

Look you're gonna be watched around the clock.

Wire taps'll be set up within the hour.

Right.

We're checking Andre's sister.

She will not talk.

Just watch your ass Nico.

But I have you to do that for me.

Make the circle now!

Sergei, it's time to go.

Mia Otana?

Are you friend of my brother?

I'm very sorry to bother you.

Can we step outside, I need to ask you some questions.

Go away from me.

I've told you I know nothing.

Who are you?

Why are you bothering my family?

Who am I?

I'm the guy that's gonna nail your ass.

I think not.

Think again.

Let's get outta here.

Listen to your friend

and leave this place.

Let's go, now. Come on.

Get your hands off me Jack!

Oh, well, what're you gonna do in there Kevin huh?

Kill the guy? Blow the whole deal?

That'd be real good, that's smart thinking.

Let's move along that track.

Let me drive you home.

No, please, no.

Come on.

This is a wasted trip Kevin.

Andre's sister is not gonna talk.

Rodchenko's got her spooked.

Maybe.

You know I've been thinking,

maybe we could get dad to join AA.

Pop admit he's got a drinking problem?

Forget about it.

Besides Lori and I've already tried.

It seems to be getting worse.

Now don't you think I know that?

Well maybe there's something we can do about it.

You know big, bright college boy comes into town

and got the answers for everybody's problems right Kevin?

Oh Jack come on, give me a break.

You know the same blood runs through your veins

that runs through mine.

Okay fine.

Why don't you let pop come live with you?

Anything else you wanna get off your chest?

Yeah Lori's real concerned about you.

Yeah well that's between Lori and me and not you alright?

Listen all I'm saying is Jack,

don't let your career take precedent over your family that's all.

Jesus, can we go inside?

Thank you.

Let's go.

Hey, we are closed.

Are all the customers gone?

Da.

Good, I got something to take care of.

Stay away from me.

Rodchenko did this?

Mia I wanna help you.

The way you helped my brother?

Do you remember me?

Cockroach.

Oh shit.

Wait here.

You want a piece of me? Hit me.

Hey, asshole.

Are you okay?

Yeah, great place.

Yeah we'll have to come back and try the food.

Let's go get the girl.

Told you she wasn't gonna talk.

San Francisco, Seattle and Portland confirmed, for the 15th.

Yeah?

Now would be a good time for you to disappear.

Things are gonna be you know.

Why?

Because of your brother?

I did some checking.

Yeah so?

Does he want money from me also?

No.

Well,...

take down this address.

Go ahead.

9832 Highland avenue.

Yeah.

Yeah I got it.

Asshole.

I'm not convinced Sargent White can handle his brother.

What about those men following us?

Relax Sergei, first we take Marina home.

But they will know where I live.

Exactly.

And when they come sniffing around like dogs

I bet I know who will be in charge.

And he dropped off the woman, 1946 Alder Park.

What's your position?

Headed east on Olympic near ah, Century City.

Alright stay on him.

What the hell's he doing here?

The little prick's getting his car washed.

It looked clean to me.

Pull ahead, we'll tail 'em when they get out.

You got it.

Check this.

Shit.

Hey they vanished.

The friggin' Rolls is still here and everything.

Great.

Now we gotta find the son of a bitch.

Why don't we talk to the woman that was with Rodchenko?

That's a good idea.

Get on it, both of ya.

No I can't, it's my anniversary.

I'm taking my wife out to dinner.

What?

It's better I go alone anyway.

We go in like an army and the woman'll never talk.

Alright.

I'll bet those cops are still at the car wash.

Oh what a shame because now we won't surface

until our after our business is done.

So this is the theater that is going to front our activities at.

No one will suspect a thing.

Get used to it Sergei, it will be our home until Friday.

Miss Jesnocoff?

Yes.

I'm from the Drug Enforcement Agency, I'd like to ask you some questions.

Well I don't do drugs officer.

What's your relationship with Nicolai Rodchenko?

That's my business.

Well if you prefer to come downtown

and talk about it I can accommodate you.

Come in.

Give me a moment to get dressed okay?

Marina he is there?

Excellent, you know what to do.

Just make sure he follows you.

Yes Nicolai.

Sergei, it is time to let agent White know

what a Russian circle feels like.

Hurt him.

Hurt him bad.

I know Mr. Rodchenko for approximately five years.

Is he in some sort of trouble?

Would you know where I can reach him?

I use a telephone.

Nicolai travels a lot, when he's in town I see him.

Now if there is nothing else I really must go.

What time is our reservation?

Eight o'clock honey.

Let's hurry up, we don't wanna be late.

Okay, alright.

Okay, okay.

Um I was ah,

I was gonna wait til later, but ah, what the hell.

Happy anniversary.

Go on, open it.

Jack,...

it's exquisite.

It's beautiful.

It's also very expensive Jack.

Well why do you think I've been working so much overtime?

But honey.

Hey. Look, I am not gonna save every penny for a rainy day

and end up like my old man.

I want things to be different for us.

Let's hurry up honey, we don't wanna be late.

Okay.

Whoa, that's a nice dress.

Do you like it?

Yeah, the scarfs a nice touch.

Yeah Kevin gave it to me.

Kevin gave it to you?

Take it off.

What?

I said take it off.

Don't be ridiculous Jack.

It makes you look cheap.

- You just said you liked it. - Well just take it off.

Maybe you should go alone.

Yeah, fine.

Why don't you and Kevin go out, and celebrate our anniversary?

I'll go out and find a cheap hooker wearing the same scarf.

Don't you ever slap me again do you understand?

Jack!

Do you understand me?

Jack!

Get away from me!

Jack!

What the hell's going on in here?

Lori, Lori I'm sorry.

Don't you ever touch me again.

Get away from me.

I'm sorry.

I'm at the Russian athletic club.

1232 South Grandie.

I copy. I don't want to take any chances here agent White.

10 four.

So wait for back up.

White do you copy?

White!

Yeah it's Jack.

It's Evans.

Your brother tailed Rodchenko's girlfriend

to the Russian athletic club, 1232 South Grandie.

I don't like the way he's handling this Jack.

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

Jesus.

Do you like Russian games comrade?

This is the Russian circle.

If you fight each one of my men one at a time

and if somehow you get out of there in one piece

then I may let you leave.

Next.

You, get in there.

Get him, now!

Get him! Move!

Is that all you got?

Is that all you got?

Now, get in there!

Get him!

All of you now!

Kevin behind you!

Thanks.

- You alright? - Yeah.

Lori?

Lori.

Where's Jack?

I don't know.

Lori?

What happened?

Did Jack do that?

I can't continue like this Kevin.

What's this?

My anniversary present.

Guess I'll have to return it.

Jack couldn't afford this.

I told you Kevin all he does is work overtime.

That's a lot of overtime.

What are you saying?

I don't know but everything Jack makes in one year is right here.

Where did you get this?

Is it yours?

My best piece, stolen!

I can't believe Jack went back

and robbed that place.

I just can't.

You set up my brother. Now that was not part of our deal.

Calm down Sargent.

Don't fuck with me you commie bastard.

Do you feel better now Sargent?

You stay away from my family.

I will handle my brother.

Is that clear?

Perfectly clear.

Can we discuss our plan now?

That's why you're drinking isn't it dad?

You can't deal with the fact that he's dirty.

You knew he was in trouble didn't you?

We don't have to ruin his career.

He can quit, he can leave gracefully.

Bullshit dad!

What if it goes deeper than this?

What if this is only the tip of the iceberg?

Kevin he's your brother.

I don't know who my brother is anymore.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

What is it?

It's an off shore account.

9832 Highland.

Sergei stop!

Don't be foolish.

He's a perfect insurance policy.

You two watch him.

It's time for us to leave.

Damn it.

Where is White?

Where the hell are both Whites?

Enough!

- Get off me. - Shut up, I said sit down.

You got something to tell us don't you?

Easy Jack.

You want Rodchenko or not?

And she knows where he is, and where the deal's going down.

Don't ya bitch?

Back off Jack.

Where or I will break your fucking arm.

Where?

Shipping docks.

Where?

San Pedro, harbor Pierce.

Alright, we're rolling, let's go.

You stay on her until the sting is over.

Jesus Christ what the hell happened to you?

She had a knife.

You need a doctor.

You can forget it lieutenant I am not missing this bust.

Get that stitched and meet us at the docks.

A little makeup, the right actress,

they'll buy anything.

Got one for me?

I'll pay you 20 for a smoke.

Nyet.

Right pocket, just don't take the 100.

Where's your boss?

Where's Rodchenko?

Power, Sun Valley power station.

They are here.

Move into position.

All is well Sargent?

Oh about right now the task force should be invading the Queen Mary.

We just made a pass down pier seven there's nothing here.

So Hal, where's special agent White?

Where's Rodchenko?

This is unit six, there's nothing here either.

This looks like a dead end.

This is unit eight, and it's all clear on this end of the wharf.

The trip was good?

Yes Mr. Rodchenko.

Well welcome our friend from Seattle.

Portland.

Remember my friends, this is only the beginning.

Da.

Help them with their cars.

I'll take my money now.

Certainly Sargent. You were worth every penny.

Well fellas, my fee has just gone up.

To 20 million dollars.

On the sofa Serg.

Greed is a terrible thing Sargent.

Well you two can discuss it in hell.

Now put your hands behind your head and get on your fucking, knees.

You're predictable Sargent.

I hope you have had a good life

because it is now over.

Jack!

Here.

Let's go.

The RV.

Hold it Nico.

Don't even think about it.

Come on Jack.

I can make you a very, very rich man.

I already am a rich man Nico.

As soon as I kill you, Serg...

nobody will ever know.

Put the money down and get outta here.

Go on.

Get outta here, go on.

You're in it all the way aren't you Jack?

The antique store is small time compared to this.

You fingered Andre didn't you.

No Kevin, I killed him.

Oh come on he's a fucking drug dealer.

I take from the bad guys and I keep it alright?

What the hell happened to you Jack?

You were a good cop.

And now I'm a smart one.

Smart enough to take that money and the RV, and get the hell outta here.

I guess I'm the big shot now huh Kevin?

You come visit me in South America.

Is that what this is all about?

'Cause I feel sorry for you man.

You are blind.

You had it all Jack, everything.

Lori, a career, dad behind you.

You don't buy those things with money.

And you, you just threw that all away.

You stay away from me Kevin.

You stay the hell away from me.

I can't do that.

Nobody's stopping me Kevin.

Nobody.

You broke the old man's heart.

I'll beat the truth outta ya.

Jack! Jack!

Jack.

Jack.

Kevin...

Don't be a fool.

Jack hang on.

You take the money.

Would you shut up?

Just hang on, you're not gonna die.

Jesus.

I should've never left L.A.

Jack.

I'm sorry Kevin.

Jack.

You, you make it right with,

with Lori and pop okay?

- Jack. - For their sake.

Jack, Jack hang on, Jack!

Jack.

You wanna tell me just what the hell you, and Jack were doing here?

Jack wanted to do it alone, his way.

It's all there Evans the drugs, the money.

Jack made us look good.

He only paid for it with his life.

You handled everything with dignity Kevin.

I'm very grateful.

I wish I could've done more for him.
