All language subtitles for Pacific Blue s01e02 First Shoot

The Bellwood Avenue Crip has been
running the majority of their drug

between 82th Street here and here.

Yeah, I see them when I go home at
night, like a supermarket down there.

Two drug dealers on every corner.

Dealers work the curbs, the buyers
circle around back to take delivery from

another person. I thought the black and
whites had been running sweeps twice a

week. They're ineffective.

The dealers scatter, cut through
backyards, jump fences.

There's a lot of light industry in that
area, so the cars can't follow.

So you're saying we use the black and
whites to chase from any of the

yards? That's the plan.

We'll use these finger cams, man, to the
bikes or the helmets for evidence

gathering. I love it.

The dealers will run, and we'll own
them, baby.

Yes. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, let's
just remember what we're dealing with

out there. These are hardcore
gangbangers taking in a lot of cash.

They've never seen a crash unit on bikes
before, so we don't know how they're

going to react.

Captain Brooks is right.

Everyone wears a vest. I want you to
watch yourselves, watch your partners,

watch the black and whites.

All right?

Let's go get them.

Yeah, I'm the king with the ring,
feeling fall and spring.

Hold an encore, Rasheed.

Can't hear my customers placing their
orders, man.

I got a home with no loans, so don't
take that tone.

I make the bread with my head, Fred.

Because I'm wheeling and peeling, kid.

Damn, here we go again.

And it knocks my plan anyway.

Come

on,

come on, come on.

Down the alley.

I'm with you.

Sometimes I may make a deal, but we
don't touch it in my head.

That is how I move the world.

That's what I do.

I will make you.

I will make you.

Whatever I do, I will make you.

Hey, wait!

Oh, God.

This is 2 -Becker -7. I need an
ambulance.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why everyone bags on my town.

Stand and see.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in L .A.

Just another day.

Hello. You okay, Princess?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, Dad.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah, I'm just a little shaken,
but I'll be all right, I promise.

Yeah, Brooks B, tell me what happened.

I just want to hear it from you. You
were all right.

Yeah, I appreciate you coming, Dad.

What about the suspect?

They took him to the hospital.

You gonna make it?

Yeah, yeah, I think he'll be fine.

Hey, uh...

I found the gun, didn't they, Corey?

No.

Not yet.

I better pick up some film. I'm just
about the end of the roll.

Oh, hey, sorry.

You okay?

Yeah.

Roll a 36, 100.

My wallet.

All right, I need a couple volunteers
for brat patrol duty.

Brat patrol duty?

Yeah, it means we have a film company
working on the beach. They bring a lot

money into the community, so we're
encouraged by City Hall to provide

assistance. Favorite movie star?

Who is it this time?

Scott McGruder.

He's the worst. I can't stand his
movies.

I'd be willing to volunteer.

Oh, really?

What are you, a Scott McGruder fan?

No, I've just never seen a movie be made
before.

Yeah, right.

Up to it, Kelly.

You think it's a screen star like the
rest of female America?

I've seen a couple of his films, that's
all.

Fine.

He's all yours.

What? Both of yours. And try and keep
him out of jail.

Were you born obnoxious with something
you developed over the years?

Hey, Scott Magruder's a full -fledged
high -signing poser.

He tore up a hotel room in New York
City, and he got in a fistfight in

Park with his caterer. That was his
fiancée's fault, Vivica something. She

it after some TV show.

Oh, I thought you weren't a fan.

It was in the National Inquisitor, which
was on the shelf at the checkout

counter, okay? He just happened to be on
the cover.

Ah, getting busted.

And there was a long line at the
checkout, so you decided to read the

Get a life, Del Toro.

Come on.

Maybe it'll make you a movie star. Then
you can be on the cover of The

Inquisitor.

I saw a gun, Lieutenant.

I have no doubt that you did.

But the search team spent most of the
night going over the area, and all they

could come up with was a knife.

There's nothing on the surveillance data
that backs up your claim.

It wasn't a knife. It was a gun.

I know what you think you saw.

Look, look, I'll go there myself. I want
to check it out in the light anyway.

Fine. Take TC with you. I just want you
to know that this whole matter may have

to be reviewed.

A shooting review board hearing?

Oh, come on!

What are you getting so defensive for?

I'm not!

Court, no one's going to let you hang
out to dry on this.

Well, what about the suspect?

Rasheed Ra, 25.

Two stretches of fulsome assault and
armed robbery.

Armed robbery, huh?

Any chance this guy used to own a gun?

Excuse me.

We are seeking Elvis Krzyzewski. I gotta
go.

And who shall I say is seeking?

Just tell him we are friends from old
country.

Here, catching a race in Santa Monica.

Oh, I'll tell you what.

I don't think he's here.

Please. It's most important that we
speak to him.

We understand he services bicycles here,
and... And that's his shop, maybe.

Ellis! Ellis, is that you? Whoa, whoa,
guys.

Hey, guys, guys.

Guys, excuse me.

Excuse me, guys.

Like I said, he's not here.

But I'll be happy to give him a message
for you, if you like.

What?

Who are you? Why are you dressed like
that? I'm Officer Kelly. This is Officer

Del Toro. And we've been assigned as
liaison officers while you're filming

on the beach.

You're a cop?

Yes. Real cop with a gun, real bolts and
everything?

Right here.

You know, I'm always concerned when I'm
on location out in public. Maybe we

should discuss some sort of security
arrangements. Come on in. One sec.

You know what? It's very small in here.
I'd really appreciate it if you could...

Guard the perimeter while I talk to your
partner, Officer Del Taco?

Hey, it's Del Toro.

Whatever. Actually, we both need to
check out the set. Make sure all crowd

control measures are in place.

Okay. All right. I see my reputation has
preceded me.

You two, run along. I've got to get
ready for a theme.

Catch up with you later, baby.

Bye -bye.

I don't want to hear I told you so.

Let's stay to work.

Palermo says this guy, Rasheed, is a two
-time loser.

That's got to work in your favor.

My favor? That's probably why this guy's
willing to take a shot at me.

What are you talking about?

Well, I'm talking about the three
-strike plot.

This guy goes down for a third time. He
goes away for life.

That's to your point.

You know, the law doesn't help us a bit
if a guy's willing to shoot at a cop

rather than take a third fall.

I saw him disappear around this side of
the tractor.

And that's where he drew his gun on me.

But he was over here when the shooting
went down.

No, no, no.

He drew on me here, and then he fell
back this way.

Damn it, what did he do with that thing?

We'll check the woods, the storm drains.
We'll turn this place upside down.

We've already done that twice.

We will find the gun, Corey.

Damn it!

Relax, all right?

Shooting review board almost always
sides with the officer in a gang

shooting. It means a little bit more to
me than that.

Meaning?

Meaning it's... All

right, the bad guy is running underneath
the pier this way. You come across the

pier, climb to the top, spot him, and
then act as if you're going to jump.

Then Max will come in here and take the
fall for you. Don't bother. I'll do it

myself.

The stunt?

Yes, Gary, the stunt. We're set up for
it. Let's just shoot it.

You sure you want to do that? Do you
have a hearing problem?

I'm doing the stunt myself.

Babe, I don't think the studio... Is the
studio here?

Maybe the VP of production would like to
do the stunt. Is he here?

I swear,

you want to cop in a scene? They think
you need a stunt.

I'm sure they just don't want you to get
hurt, that's all.

Yeah, that'd be a big shame.

Well, we don't risk life and limb like
real officers on the street, but...

are certain chances I'm willing to take
to make the whole thing seem a little

more real.

Like the real comic book this movie's
based on? No. Like the real five million

they're paying me to play Amphibaman.

That's wonderful.

We're ready to shoot.

You know he's only really doing this
stunt to impress me, right?

Get at him.

Everyone would have been so impressed.

How about you?

You want to sue this department for
excessive force, and you're demanding

we suspend Officer McNamara?

Lawsuit is for ten million.

I just got back from the city attorney's
office.

That's absurd. You're just looking for a
fat settlement from the city. My

client, Rashid Ross, very talented rap
musician.

He was just in the wrong place at the
wrong time.

Your client is a convicted armed robber.
As a juvenile.

Prosecuted special circumstances.

Spent five years in prison. And then
returned to the neighborhood.

Rehabilitated by the state of
California.

You were selling cocaine on Bellwood
Avenue.

He was performing for friends.

But he became a victim of excessive
force by an officer with three years'

experience. Someone in your department.

Corey McNamara is a model officer with a
spotless record.

Not anymore.

I suggest you pull her from the street
pending an investigation.

And I'm suggesting you pull your ass out
of here before I throw it out that

window. Tony, Tony. Do I note an
atmosphere of violence?

It seems to pervade the entire police
department here.

Get out of my face.

Oh, I think you and I are going to see a
whole lot more of each other.

You shouldn't have said that, Tom.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Well, let's just hope for your officer's
safety. Turn up that gun.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey.

I know what you're going to say, so
let's just get this over with, okay?

Is that any way to greet a concerned
father who just wants to buy his

lunch?

The turkey burgers are good here.

I saw the preliminary report.

Here we go.

It's not very encouraging.

No shots fired by the suspect, no weapon
located.

Do you realize Jim Thompson fits on the
shooting review board? Don't even think

about it. You know how important it is
that your first shoot be absolutely

clean. If it's a clean shoot, it will
hold up. Just let me have a word with

off the record.

I can't believe you're even considering
this.

All I've ever heard from you growing up
is the importance of doing things by the

book. And now you're telling me the book
is thrown aside when it comes to your

own daughter? I'm telling you I want
what's best for your career.

You know there happens to be an opening
in Metro?

I will get to Metro when and if my
jacket warrants it. You could go now.

You'd be in a patrol car, working
investigations with a partner.

This is really unfair.

If this were Peter, we wouldn't even be
having this conversation.

Your brother wouldn't have spent his
years on patrol peddling down the

in shorts.

I'll say it again.

A squad car is 4 ,000 pounds of added
protection.

Oh, please, you don't think this could
have happened if I was in a squad car?

Why does everything have to be an
argument when we talk business?

Because you make it one.

Hi.

I'm T .C. Calloway.

Must be Captain McNamara.

How do you do?

Just fine, sir. Thank you.

Lieutenant Palermo called, said we
should swing by the firehouse before the

afternoon shift.

Nice meeting you, sir.

I'll call you later, Dad.

Sorry. Hey, hey, hey.

That guy just picked my pocket. Which
guy? Him, the blonde guy on the blaze in

the yellow shirt.

Well, let's go.

Let's go.

Is there a problem, officer?

I hope not.

What's your name?

Richard Batten.

Do you have any ID on you, Mr. Batten?
It's just my driver's license. I'm not

carrying a wallet.

Pull the license out, sir.

You're suspected of pickpocketing.

I'm going to have Officer Calloway here
pat you down and check your pockets.

Is there anything you want to tell us?
Like what?

Like if you're carrying a syringe and I
get stuck, you and me got problems, pal.

Listen, I'm not a pickpocket. Go ahead.
Frisk away.

I got six bucks in my right pocket.
That's it. Keep them up.

He's clean.

No wallet.

Okay.

Sorry. You're free to go.

Can't say it's been a pleasure.

Let's go get a report from the victim.
We'll file this guy's name in the

computer.

All right. Everyone watch closely.

TC, you're the pickpocket's target.

Paulie over here is on the boardwalk
watching. You pull out some money to buy

something, he checks out the size of
your bankbook.

He's a spotter. Exactly.

He signals me, scratches his nose,
whatever.

I'm the dip.

I'm the talent. Now walk towards me.

I bump into you accidentally, dip into
your pocket, and keep walking.

Now that's slow motion compared to them.
They're so quick you can hardly tell

it's happened.

Elvis, walk by me.

I immediately hand off the goods seconds
after I've made the score.

Professional dip never holds the goods
more than a few seconds because he's the

one who's had contact with the victim,
and he's vulnerable.

In case the victim chases him down or a
cop grabs him, he's clean.

How do you know all this?

I'm from New York.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Elvis Krajewski.

I'm told he's working here.

Yeah, he's right.

Yeah, Elvis?

I don't know.

Did you tell your father about the
lawsuit?

He'll find out soon enough.

You know, when they released Rashid from
the hospital, he made a threat.

Let me guess. He's going to kill me, my
family, my dog, and my goldfish.

He said he was going to write a rap song
about you after you were dead.

Great. He can use the money he gets from
the lawsuit to put it on the air.

Get out of here.

Hey, Richie.

Heard you've been looking for me. Just
want to let you know I'm here for you,

baby.

Nikki's trying to tell us he's number
one.

I can't believe you agreed to let that
punk take you to jail.

I'm buying.

I wouldn't accept a gift from someone
we're trying to protect.

Look, I know you've only lived here for
a year or so, but you've got to

understand, a man's an actor.

He can convince you of anything. That's
what he gets paid to do. I get that.

Thank you very much. You can't keep
firing D -players like this. We have a

schedule to keep.

Gary, I could throw a rock at it. Three
guys on this beach could play that part.

Okay, fine. We'll recast and shoot it
tomorrow. We'll shoot it now.

You.

Del Toro.

You ever done any acting before?

No. Do me a favor. Say this line. This
line right here. Forget it. Say the

words, freeze, jerky. Who writes this
stuff?

Look, you say the lines, I hope that the
mob that's dying to see you has got

attitude. It's perfect.

I'm on duty.

He's unavailable for the part.

I love it. Come on, you're off in ten
minutes.

No. Pass.

Nada. I'm not interested in doing any
movie, much less your movie.

It pays 524 bucks for the day.

Well, I can't remember what I've been
thrown for. Yeah?

Better keep Oscar night open, babe.

Hey, let me talk to you for a second,
man.

Oops!

What you gonna do, shoot me again?

Get down on the ground now.

All right.

Little cop lady, do whatever you say.

Shoot him.

Shoot him.

Shoot him.

Shoot him.

Shoot him.

Shoot him.

You okay, kiddo?

No.

Is there something you want to talk
about?

You're the only one in your family
that's a police officer, right, TC?

Yeah, by a long shot.

Well, in my family, it's very important
that your first shoot be a clean one.

Come on, Corey. No, I'm serious.

It goes back three generations.

The tradition says a clean first chute
will give you the confidence you need to

operate. A bad first chute and you're
useless on the street. You'll always

hesitate. You'll always second guess
yourself.

That's what they believe.

What do you believe?

I don't know.

All I know is that ever since this thing
went down, my nerves have been shot to

hell.

You know, what if I do hesitate, TC?

Then that puts whoever is with me in
danger as well.

You know, this whole first shoot thing,
it's a blue myth.

Not in my family.

All I've ever heard about growing up was
about Tal Morgan, my uncle's first

shoot, and the Gardner incident, which
was my father's first shoot.

Even my grandpa Max shoot out at
Felipe's before he joined the hat squad

40s. You cannot let them put this kind
of pressure on you.

I don't have to. I'm putting it on
myself.

Listen, we're going to pick up Rasheed's
friend Eddie, okay?

We'll put the squeeze on him about the
gun. Everything will be fine.

I'm not so sure, TC.

You know, I've been playing this
incident over and over in my mind, and

dreaming about it at night.

And in the end, I'm not sure Rashid had
a gun.

No, no, no, no, no. You were dead bang
positive the day of the shoot.

Maybe that's what I wanted to believe.

What's going on here, buddy?

Elvis?

There's something wrong you have to tell
me about.

Yes. I choose to invoke the 19th
Amendment, sir.

No one's right to vote.

I cannot share with you what it is I
already know at this point in time,

Lieutenant. These people came pretty
intent on finding you. I know. And I can

only hope that they...

abandon their quest, and they return to
from whence they came.

You know, we have an old saying in this
country, you can run, but you can't

hide. But America is a very big country,
and there are very many bike shops from

which one can work.

And there are many places to hide
amongst the Purple Mountain's majesty

to shining sea.

Am I free to go?

Yeah, free to go.

at Interfold, guess what?

They'd never even heard of Elvis.

I mean, of course they've heard of
Elvis, just not our Elvis.

Same with customs, NCIC, computers,
immigration, nothing.

I checked downtown personnel file.

The paperwork was letter perfect.

I don't get it.

Maybe he's a spy.

Yeah, right.

Sent here by an Eastern Bloc country to
keep an eye on Venice Beach.

I don't know.

Keep an eye out for those characters and
talk to him if you get a chance. He

might open up to you.

I'll try.

But I doubt it'll do any good.

Whoever they are, they've spooked him.

Actually, it was a pretty good
experience.

I didn't find anybody.

I'm a real cop.

I told them, hey, look, I've never done
that. You know, it's called a group.

There's a pretty clever point. I think
it was manipulative.

Your word.

Ah, you give me too much credit.

You are charming.

Does that come along with your actor's
bag of tricks?

Acting comes from the inside.

Getting in touch with your feelings,
letting the camera see through to your

soul, that's what allows us to make a
connection with the audience.

You are good.

And you are very cynical.

And I'm surprised you're wasting your
time with this bike patrol unit.

What's the deal there, anyway?

Just temporary.

Stepping stone in the department.

Well, looky here.

if it ain't that lover boy movie star.

Hey, Tommy, check this out.

Look, I'd love to chat, pal, but I'm a
little busy here.

You know something?

You look a lot bigger in the movies.

Hey, you know, tell me something. Are
you a tough guy?

Hey, look, mister.

That's okay. I get this all the time.

Look, pal, you're the tough guy here.

I'm just a guy shooting pool.

You're trying to brush me off.

He thinks he is too good for me.

Well, maybe I'm not the kind of quality
guy that you meet in rehab.

Sir, I'm a police officer, and you're
way out of line. I'm going to have to

you to back off.

Whoa.

Who is this?

Your bodyguard?

Big, tough movie star needs a lady cop
in shorts to protect him.

You want to go, huh?

You want to go, man?

You want to go? Let's go, man.

Come on. Let's do it.

Shut up.

Hey.

Yeah,

well, whatever you do, you can't tell
anybody about these doubts of yours,

It's too late.

Besides, they exist. There's no use in
denying it.

Well, in my day, it wouldn't have been
any problem at all. We'd just throw a

down alongside him.

Things have changed a little since the
hat scrapped. Yeah, and it's a damn

shame, too.

A gangster wanted to come to Los
Angeles, we'd hit him off at the

let him know on certain terms he wasn't
welcome. He'd get the picture.

And you'd drag guys down to that
apartment building in Torrance and deal

your own personal brand of justice.

I told you about that a hundred times, I
guess.

My favorite bedtime stories.

Guess that says a lot about the way I
was raised.

You were raised just fine after your
mother died.

Now, that's why I came down to see you
today. Listen, I'm going to ask you to

cut your father a bit of slack, okay?

Oh, Grandpa, he doesn't cut me a bit.
Well, it's because he doesn't want what

happened to him to happen to you.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about his first shoot, damn
it.

It didn't go down clean.

Wait a minute, I thought... That's why
he's so hard on you.

But the Gardner incident... It was a
mess.

I'll tell you something else.

This whole tradition about first shoots,
that is a lot of... Irish macho hero

crap.

You're not just saying that?

It's the whole truth of it, God.

You're great, Grandpa.

Yeah, I know.

We have the report you filed. What can
we do for you, Mr.

Tattaglia? Tattaglia.

It's a fine the man that took my wallet.

The money means nothing to me, the
identification to be replaced.

But there's a very special picture.
inside of my wife and myself taken to

Island many years ago.

We know there's a ring of pros working
the boardwalk.

Maybe we'll get lucky and catch them in
the act.

Look for the spotter. He'll be your best
bet.

The spotter, really?

I would have thought the handoff man.

He may use more than one.

Watch for the spotter watching people.

If you find this man and retrieve my
picture, I promise I will return the

I appreciate that, but it's really not
necessary.

I know you're an honorable police
officer, Lieutenant Palermo.

I did some checking. I expected that
would be your answer.

Mr. Battaglia, may I ask? I'm a retiree.
I moved here from Miami to get away

from relatives.

This situation is better handled by your
people before my disappointment of

anger rises to such a level for which I
would have to take action.

We'll do our best.

Please.

One day I will return the favor

Eric,

let me talk to you for a second

You've been avoiding us.

We need to talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

What is bad?

Even the bad.

Things have changed since you went away.

I would have to hear that from her.

Please.

Please help me.

We need your help.

Please.

Your bail's been posted. You're free to
go.

Get out of here.

Hey, man.

I'm real sorry about the crack about
rehab.

That's all right, Travis.

You guys did a hell of a job back there.

Gary will cut you a check.

Those guys work for you?

Stuntmen. We do this all the time.

Any publicity is good publicity.

Come on, it's been a long night. Get me
out of here, babe.

Oh, you're free to go, babe.

Your bail's been posted, too.

Great. Gary's here. Where is he? What
took him so long? Hey, Gary!

Actually, Gary's not here.

Your fiancé posted bail.

Uh, I can explain this. Don't bother.

Vivica and I had a nice long chat.

One time off already.

You tell us about Rasheed's piece.

We talk to the judge and tell him what a
great guy you are.

Yeah? And what's Rasheed going to say
about me other than he's a dead man?

He's going to say it's a shame.

And he's in prison.

While I'm rapping on FM radio.

Making all kinds of big time record
deals.

Man, my bust was nothing but a rouse,
man.

Judge won't see it that way. He's going
to see a guy with two gun possessions

inside of a week.

Why are you saying nothing?

Yeah, well, you're going to fry, pal.
We're going to see to it. You think this

is an act? I'm going to have to hit it
with Bellwood having you guys selling

poison to kids in dime bags. No, no more
deals.

Let them rot in hell.

The thing was a pearl hand.

30 with a cool -looking handle.

He was bragging that he ripped it from
some guy's house off of Bellwood Avenue

that he broke into.

How long ago was that?

A couple of weeks.

That's better.

Now tell us what he did with the thing.

Storm drain.

He threw it down a storm drain.

No, I threw it down there for him.

Yeah, you say he didn't want to violate
his parole.

Said it'd mess with his recording
career.

They checked him twice.

He's probably long gone by now.

Don't say another word.

Quite a client once you're developing,
Mr. Malone. Must spend all your free

handing out cards on Bellwood Avenue.

Whatever he told you is hearsay.
Probably a violation of his rights.

Sorry, Counselor. He waived his rights
20 minutes ago.

You know, if I were you, Counselor, I
wouldn't spend my cut of that settlement

just yet.

Hey, how's it going?

How's that?

Eh, not bad.

Uh, yeah.

We'll go see you soon.

Oh, go and watch it.

Go.

Richard, Richard, Richard.

We've got a dog.

Excuse me.

You always carry a man's wallet in your
newspaper?

Lieutenant, do you need me on the
booking for this thing?

Do you have a more pressing engagement?

No.

Well, I'm due back on the Magruder set.

I thought you hated that guy.

Oh, you know, he's just under a lot of
pressure. The more I get to know him,

more I come to realize he's just
misunderstood.

Get out of here.

Thanks.

We got a match.

A pearl -handled Smith & Wesson .38 was
reported stolen 12 days ago from an

address off of Bellwood Avenue.

Please tell me it was registered.

Owner was a gun freak. We have a serial
number right here.

Problem is, all the storm drains flow
into Santa Monica Bay, which means the

thing could be halfway to Honolulu by
now.

Yeah. Heal the bay.

Excuse me?

Not everything makes it to the ocean
anymore.

T .C., get me Heal the Bay on the line.
I want to know what pollution screens

have been installed west of Melwood
Avenue.

Corey, call City Engineering.

Tell them to pull all the storm drain
trucks between the shooting site and the

ocean. Then call the county on our form
and tell them we need three warm bodies

down at the Pico Wash.

Okay? Got it.

I think we got something busted, not the
touches that you got here.

Right over there, stuck in the corner.

See it?

He was sipping wine, looking oh so fine,
and he knew what he could do if she was

so inclined.

Man.

How's business, Rasheed? Don't y 'all
get tired of this?

I mean, don't you get it?

Now, this is my house, baby, and we
ain't going nowhere.

Oh, you're going somewhere, baby.

Oh, yeah, you got that right.

Yeah, I'm going right to the top.

Before you go, let me ask you a
question.

You recognize this?

No, I ain't never seen that before.

Oh, yeah?

And how do you suppose your prints got
on his face?

Mexico, Vancouver, New York, the street
stuff. Look, talk to the hand. I don't

really have time to do that. I just
wonder how my scene looked. Looked

Shame we can't use it. What do you mean
you can't use it?

Look, the whole beach thing, it's out,
okay? Kapuli, we've been shooting five

days. We're four days behind schedule,
but hey, that's features.

You're on the cutting room floor, babe.
So cute.

I hate that guy.

I don't feel bad.

Made you dark.

Homer doesn't read this stuff, does he?

It's just a copy I left on a desk.

No. Well, thank you very much.

You like soap operas?

I try not to get hugged.

You're gonna love this one.

Okay.

The blonde guy. He's the Bulgarian
national champion. Those other guys were

teammates. Elvis used to be their
mechanic, but he left after a dispute

Tatiana. Let me guess.

She left Elvis for the racer. Ah, no,
the other way around. She left Zygmunt

Elvis. Get out of here.

Yeah, a wild affair, and then she went
back to her husband.

Apparently Elvis was something of a
legend in the old country.

What are they doing here?

Well, they're pursuers.

They raced the 4 ,000 meters in the
velodrome, but they're getting killed in

Olympic trials, and they want the
mechanic back.

Elvis isn't leaving us, is he?

The pain is too great.

He'll tune their bikes, but then he's
going to send them on their way.

The whole thing is just kind of like an
episode of As the Wheel Turns.

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone
backs

on my town.

The fantasy,

it works for me.

Take a look around, just another day in
L .A.

Anybody, she's more than me.

Anybody,

they see it's free.

Someday, once it lets down, just

another day.
