I like to cut the deal.

Thornbird sings no more.

Any black and white or blue units, report to the possible intruder at 5322

Canal. Suspect leaving the scene in a dark 1982 Firebird.

This is 1PV6, I'm right there.

I'm gonna try to talk it down, why everyone bags on

my town.

Stand at sea, it works for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in LA.

She's more than me.

Anybody thinks she is pretty.

Someday.

What is it down?

Just another day.

Tim, I didn't know you were back in town. Just barely. My flight landed

hour ago.

Come on in.

You look great.

Tim, why haven't you called?

Please.

Tim, you haven't called in three weeks.

When you first got back to D .C., you called me twice a day.

Corey.

I thought about you each and every one of those days.

But I had things I needed to work out myself before I could bring them to you.

As soon as I could, I came up with some pathetic, busy work to do at the L .A.

office.

Because nothing else mattered but getting back to you, where I have never

so good in my whole life.

Right hand only.

One, two.

One, two, under only.

One, two, under, right hand behind that.

Don't think so much about power.

One, two, under.

Drop the right hand.

One, two, under, drop the right hand.

Just take a break.

You should save some of that fire.

Tell me something, huh?

How does a guy like Sam hang it out?

The state says that he served his time.

Huh?

Vehicular manslaughter? He ran over an innocent girl.

After he killed a police informant.

We didn't fail T .P. The system did.

We are the system, Victor.

What's up, Lieutenant?

Hope you're staying in good shape, Officer Del Toro.

This weekend, you, me, and TC are taking on none other than Ken Steffes and Dane

Blanton.

As in the Olympic gold medal winner, Ken Steffes? And that guy who beat him

first and, what, that major upset in the middle of the light open? The AVP just

called. I'm going to get a couple of practices in. We beat the lifeguards to

this far. We're not going down without a fight.

Yes, sir.

Hey, you saw TC this morning. How did he seem?

He's upset, of course. Of course, but he didn't say he was going to do

something, did he? What can't he do except let it go?

As his friend hoped that's what you told him. Yeah.

Okay.

Keep it.

By this weekend, I want that to feel like an extension of your own hand.

Well, if it isn't the good St.

Calloway. How you doing, Tiger?

Why'd you come back, Ray?

Oh, now, is that any way to greet an old friend?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Neither have you.

Much as I'm enjoying this snappy repartee, I'm just here to warn you. Oh,

absolutely unnecessary. I am a fully rehabbed product of the penal system.

I'm going to sit right here and do spot welts for seven bucks an hour.

Better make sure of that.

Oh, I will.

I just have a few loose ends.

You so much as jaywalk and I'll be all over you.

Counting on it.

Sorry, my ride's over. I gotta go.

Don't let me down.

This is 1 -PP -7. I need a DMV check.

I'm afraid that's unacceptable. We agreed on a price weeks ago. What is it?

Eddie Montez is here.

You sure know how to live, Regis.

Well, I offered to teach you, Eddie.

Well, that's my problem.

I never learned how to listen.

So now what's this all about?

Ray Bonney.

He's out and he's called a meeting.

He knows we set him up on Alex Castillo.

Hey, you're the one who dropped the dime on him to save 100 Gs. We were

partners, Eddie.

You're better off, Regis.

Eddie's never a team player.

How'd you get on board, Ray?

I'm a Sandman, remember?

I came aboard while he was sleeping.

What do you want?

$100 ,000.

What you owe me for Alex Castillo.

Plus the cost of your betrayal.

A number. Please.

$1 ,000.

For every day I spent in prison.

1 ,285 days.

Which brings us to a grand total of $1 ,285 ,000.

Then I call it even.

You'll be lucky to get off the boat.

Even you're not stupid enough to kill me with a cop watching.

Sergeant T .C. Calloway.

Protect them to serve.

So we understand each other?

Until I get my money, you guys are going to start dying. One by one.

You won't know when or how or in what order.

One minute you're going to be walking around.

The next minute you're going to be bleeding out.

The last thing you'll see.

Thanks for showing up.

Cut a little faster, didn't you?

Took a couple minutes to trace the limo ride.

That boat belongs to Carl Regis. The other two clowns, I assume, they're Nick

DeVille and Eddie Montez. I guess this was your welcome home party.

See any balloons?

Not exactly what I'd call friends.

Now the parole board might look upon this happy reunion.

Maybe if you guys had anything on them, which you don't, it dies.

You're not in this to see me go back for 18 months.

I'll take what I can get. No, no, not you.

Despite your unerring sense of good and evil, you just can't control your

curiosity about how this is going to turn out.

What's up, Lieutenant?

I believe you two know each other.

Agent Robert Enright.

It's Inspector now.

Oh, I'm glad to see the DEA rewards its agents for getting one of their own

operatives killed.

Lana Edwards was a fine agent who died in the line of duty.

Only because you wouldn't take her out when she asked you to.

It's enough, T .C.

Inspector Enright is here on official business. I expect you to leave your bad

blood at the door.

Yes, sir, Lieutenant.

Good. You observed this afternoon maintaining the surveillance on a boat

by one Carl Regis.

That's right.

Ray Bonney's out of jail. I think he's looking to settle an old score.

Sandman doesn't interest me, but Regis, Montez, and DeVille are the subject of a

federal narcotics investigation, which makes them my problem and keeps you out

of the loop. So you're not concerned that Ray Bonney may be planning to knock

off your three stooges? In a perfect world, I'd let him.

Talk to me. Meet you at the graffiti pit. 8 p .m. All right.

I'll be there.

I just feel like I could keep looking at you for a really, really long time.

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

There's something we need to talk about.

There's another woman.

An ex -girlfriend.

Stephanie.

Been dating for over two years.

When you and I... No, we'd broken up by then.

So I was a rebound.

No, you were a revelation.

Okay, so why are you telling me this?

Because she came back.

Let me guess.

About a month ago. She wanted to reopen negotiations. And you obliged her.

Corey, we had a past together. I felt like I owed her.

Real noble of you.

Trying to be honest here. It's a little late for that, don't you think?

About 24 hours late?

Just hear me out, okay?

Please.

She wants to get married.

What do I have to do with that?

That's what I came to find out.

Court, please stay.

Then you go.

I can't stand to look at you right now.

Don't.

Don't.

I didn't want it to go like this.

I'm sorry.

Ain't he a tough guy?

How'd I know it would be you?

Regis don't like to get his hands dirty. Nikki DeVille does his killing with a

briefcase that leaves you and me. Yeah, see, that's the way you're wrong, Eddie.

Freeze! Police!

One down, two to go.

Let me see if I understand this. You call Sergeant Calloway after Eddie

called you. Why would you do that?

I don't have to say a thing.

The saint here killed a man.

He's got a point.

Well... I can't say that it's been fun, but if there's nothing else... Go on,

get out of here.

That dude's around, too.

Hey, all right, all right, all right. He just walked, right? That's it, huh?

Even though it was a good shoot, you're on paid leave till inquiry's over.

Saves me a lot of trouble.

Hey.

I just wanted to say that you're on my side and that if there's anything you

do for me, just say the word.

Well, yes, and since you have the time... That I should be working on my

serve?

I just figured it might keep your mind off. The fact that Sandman played me

a Steinway?

If he thinks this is over, he's got another thing coming.

Well, after last night,

I'd say he's pretty sure.

He's counting on it.

Probably.

He's got to be stopped.

Come on, man. You're already on leave.

Just give me more time to focus.

Yeah, or obsess.

Enright's just looking for a reason to retire your badge. Now, is it worth it?

Is it really worth it? If it was you, how would you answer that question?

I guess my choice is clear. I can either help you or stay out of your way.

Gentlemen. You called this meeting, Sergeant Calloway. State your business.

We know you hired Ray Bonney for the hit on Alex Castillo. Then you dined him

out to stiff him on the hundred grand.

Your point being?

That the Sandman's gonna kill you both, unless we stop him. Which we could do.

In exchange for a statement implicating Ray Bonney for the murder of Alex

Castillo. With IQs like that, no wonder you're on pedal patrol.

Don't say we didn't warn you.

What's a million and a half, Carl?

Why don't we just pay him off?

This is an era when image is everything, Nicky. Now what kind of image do you

think Carl Regis will have before it gets out that some dirtbag trigger man

the best of him?

But they're right.

He will kill us.

Start losing your nerve, Counselor. You'll lose a whole lot more.

Corey McNamara, I'm Stephanie Simmons. I'm Tim's... I know who you are.

Uh, is there someplace else we can talk?

Actually, I'm a little busy right now, and I don't think there's anything that

we need to discuss.

The hell there isn't.

Uh, lady, maybe you should take this outside.

What do you want from me?

I was in love with Tim after the first two weeks I knew him, and it took him

three years to notice.

I'm not about to let him go over some infatuation with someone he hardly

Too bad. That's not your choice to make.

Look, I've had flings before where that honeymoon phase is so powerful it fools

you into thinking it's something more than it is.

So I can understand what Tim thinks is going on here. You don't know me. And

don't know me with him. But I do know that when I left Tim, he was devastated.

You left him?

He asked me to marry him.

And I wasn't ready. For whatever reason, I wasn't.

And that's when you two broke up.

And you know how he dealt with it?

By sinking himself into his work and then by meeting you.

You hurt him.

And if it takes the next 50 years, I'm going to make it up to him.

Do yourself a favor, Officer McNamara, and recognize his confusion for what he

is, even if he can't.

Spare yourself a broken heart.

You okay?

No.

Not even close.

It's Nick DeVille.

You mind if I come inside?

You don't need that.

I've already risked my life by coming here, but I figure my life's pretty much

over anyway.

I offered you a way out.

I made the 911 call the night Alex Castillo went down on orders from Carl

and Eddie Montez, but I had nothing to do with the hit.

I'm a lawyer, not a killer.

That's an arguable conclusion.

Look, you made the offer, Sergeant. If you want the Sandman, I can help you. If

not, I'm out of here.

Offer's still good.

Then here's how we'll play it.

I'll arrange a payoff.

When it goes down, your people can come and make the bust. You'll have your

evidence. And your testimony against Carl Regis? No.

No way. Forget that.

There's the door. Sergeant, if I turn state's evidence against Carl Regis,

be dead before witness protection can buy me a bus ticket.

You said it yourself.

You're already dead.

Tim? How long have you been here?

Not long enough for me to figure out what to say.

Then why are you here?

I guess because I want to know how you're feeling.

I'm feeling betrayed, Tim. I'm feeling stupid.

I'm feeling lied to.

I feel sick to my stomach.

Corey, I know my timing on all this wasn't right.

I should have told you about Stephanie as soon as I got here.

No, you should have called me as soon as you two resumed your peace talks.

I was confused.

Talking to you would have made it worse.

The bottom line is, no matter how I tried to analyze the situation, I knew I

to come see you.

Well, unfortunately, you're not the only one.

Stephanie came by the firehouse today to stake her claim.

I'm sorry.

I don't want you to be sorry, Tim.

I want you to be happy.

And I want you to go.

Corey.

For good.

Have you lost it completely, Sergeant Calloway? Let's get to the professional,

Inspector. What were you thinking, if at all? I was thinking of nailing a couple

of killers and it worked.

Is that a fact? Damn straight it is.

Nick DeVille is ready to hand us Ray Bonney and Carl Regis. Everybody wins,

what's the problem? Problem is, Sergeant, that you have interfered with

federal investigation for the last time. As of now, I am officially filing under

Title 28 to place this case and all its principles under federal jurisdiction.

This whole thing's personal. It's got nothing to do with the problem. He's the

problem, Lieutenant.

Any more interference from Sergeant Calloway, and he would be subject to

prosecution, along with this entire department.

Palermo.

Right, we're on our way.

I think the bill's no longer a problem.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

You didn't. The vacuum cleaner did. At 5 a .m.

Well, at least the place is clean now.

It wasn't dirty.

Leave me alone, Chris.

Deal. If you do one thing for me.

Describe your ideal man.

Good looking, smart, has to make me laugh.

Isn't freaked out that I'm a cop or threatened by it.

Romantic, sweet, but strong.

Have you ever met a guy like that?

Yeah.

Tim Stone.

So why the hell aren't you fighting for him? Because I shouldn't have to.

Oh, sure, but you want a guy to fight for you.

He left that woman and flew across the country to find out how you felt.

Corey, you can't let him come 3 ,000 miles and not go 5 feet.

Tim has this decision to make, and he wants me to make it easy for him.

So am I really going to tell him to give up some woman that he's known for years

when I don't even know if we're going to make it another month?

If you want him, then you fight for him.

If you don't, then at least square with yourself so you won't have any regrets.

Because he's going to go back and marry that girl. You know why?

Why? Because she's fighting for him.

I'm guessing bad news.

Well, you're officially suspended.

I expected that. It gets worse.

Enright filed federal obstruction charges against you.

At least you let it come from one of us.

You're here to arrest me.

Tim.

Hi. I'm not going to pretend to be mature enough or cool enough or even

enough to deal with what happened with you and Stephanie, but it's exciting to

hear from you.

And in the last couple of days, you've hurt me more than anyone ever has.

Can we do the last thing I wanted to do? Let me finish.

What I figured out was that it hurts so much because I care so much.

I didn't know how much until I realized that...

I was less upset about you and Stephanie than I was about never being with you

again. And I don't want that.

Then tell me, what do you want?

I want you.

The time that we spent together makes me believe that I can be really happy with

you.

I'd better go.

She was in the ladies' room. We were talking.

It's okay.

I've already said what I needed to say.

Did you know they were going to bind me over for trial?

I had a feeling.

Enright's reach is pretty long.

It's like some kind of sick joke.

Now I'm the bad guy.

Help me understand this, Tony. I keep running it over and over my mind, and I

still feel like what I did was right.

Maybe not on paper, but I know.

Look, we got a murder warrant on Ray Bonney. That gives us local jurisdiction

a homicide case.

So? So, maybe we get a tell for Enright to hang on his wall and put this whole

thing in a new light.

In the meantime, I suggest you stay out of sight.

Victor and I are heading down to Hermosa. You want to check it out?

No, thanks. I'm not exactly up for it right now.

It's going to take a miracle for us to win against any of these guys. Win?

It's going to take more than that just to keep us from getting shut out.

You're the cop that are going to play those guys at volleyball?

Yeah.

Maybe we can play them back while you stick around, huh?

I think you'd be a lot better off just by arresting them right now.

Oh, thanks. Appreciate it. Good luck.

Good luck.

We're dead. Are you going to be okay? No, it's not. Hey, come on.

Lieutenant. Lieutenant.

Dane Blanton. Tony Palermo. This is Officer Victor Del Toro. Hey, nice to

you. My AVP refers to our competition tomorrow. I wouldn't call it much

competition, but... Come on, I heard how you annihilated the lifeguards in the

amateur finals.

Really? You heard that?

Annihilated? You kidding? No one's going to ever let those guys live down at the

beach with some cops and bike shorts.

Sorry, guys. No offense.

None taken.

Listen, we've got to get back.

Okay. We'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, all right. Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, all right. You know what?

You know what? Why don't you save it for the match, okay?

Just save it. Just save it.

We both know you're not going to use that. I'm not sleeping.

I think I did it that way because it was easier.

Most people never knew they died.

They just kept on dreaming.

Is that what you tell yourself so you can sleep?

Sleeping is the best part of the day.

The rest of the time you've got to deal with all the garbage out there.

Is that why you became the Sandman?

Now you're going to tell me all about your crappy childhood and how it ended

with you ruining my career?

Correction. I'm going to save your career.

Like you saved Nick DeVille? Oh, come on.

Thanks. You know I didn't kill Nick DeVille.

Regis tried to make it look like it was my work, but where is the gun?

You know I always leave a gun.

Speaking of guns, you either get that thing out of my face or shoot me and put

me out of this misery.

Your misery comes down to Regis. He's the one you need to save your butt.

He's the one I'm going to give you.

What's in it for you?

Satisfaction. I feel pretty good so far. Two down, one to go. I haven't even

fired a shot yet.

I'm listening.

Only good time.

My terms, my time table.

Faces, TC.

We're going to have to trust each other.

I'll see you soon, sir.

Yeah, fine.

No, wait!

What? I said let it go!

You nut!

What is wrong with you?

I'm sorry, ma 'am. Please.

You're going to have to trust me on this one.

I hope you know what you're doing.

So do I.

So what happened next?

Teethy spilled it all.

Of course.

How'd the lieutenant take it? Pretty bad.

He was really, really nice.

Understanding and sympathetic.

Oh, I hate it when he's like that. He finally agreed to let TC reach out to

Enright first, see if he'll buy into his plan.

Well, I hope this clears TC.

No kidding. Otherwise, you and I are going to be fighting over a spot in a

-am.

Well, you can have it. I've had enough of my own battles the last few days.

Somehow, I don't think you should put away your armor just yet.

You must be really great in bed, Officer McNamara.

Excuse me? You know, I expected you to be glowing, but you're not.

Is it because you never really cared? This is all just some challenge for you?

If you ruined my life just to pump your own ego, then I guess Tim deserves

whatever he gets for being too blind to see through it.

Okay, now I have no idea what you're talking about.

Tim said he wants to pursue whatever this thing is he thinks he has with you.

He and I have things to resolve.

Why couldn't you just respect that?

If I'd had any idea when I met Tim that he was in the middle of something, I

would not have gotten involved with him.

Please. Look, you're the one who flew into L .A. guns a -blazing. You're the

that wanted this fight. Now you want to blame me because you lost?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I'm okay.

I'm not talking about your arm.

You did what you had to.

She was going to hit me.

I'm not talking about her arm.

Technically, we should only make contact in the presence of your attorney.

So I wanted to meet here, in a neutral place, with two guys from the same side

of the fence who want the same thing.

And that would be?

Carl Regis.

What do you got?

The pleasure of seeing them go down in flames ray bonnie is willing to give up

Regis. There's a motive I can appreciate Give me your information. I'll see what

I can do now first you drop the charges against me and have me reinstated Then

I'll let you in on the bus. You're in no position to negotiate here Don't you

know that I can compel you to talk sure you can so by the time you do my guys

will have the bus And you'll be out in the cold better pray nothing goes wrong

I had an idea.

I wanted to tell you after I talked to my superior.

I'm arranging a transfer to the LA office.

We can practice doing this and a lot of other things.

Don't you think it's a little soon?

You don't want me to.

It's not that. I just think that maybe we need to be more sure of your feelings

before you make such a major change in your life.

I just think that maybe we should take things slowly.

You want to leave this?

After all, you did just end things with Stephanie.

That's right, so I could be with you.

Tim, if that's the only reason why you ended it with her, then maybe you

shouldn't have.

Corey, you're the one who came to me and said... That I want to be with you, not

be the alternative.

I really don't understand.

Tim, I really, really want this.

But I want to experience it in all its phases, from flirting to infatuation to

love.

Naturally, without pressure.

I don't want to rush you, Corey.

Then don't.

Damn it.

Go back to D .C.

I believe that you really want to be with me, but I think you need to figure

why. And if it isn't because you needed an excuse not to marry Stephanie, then

I'll be here.

The rooftops and perimeters are just about secured.

Oh, I see. You finally came to your senses.

What can I say? You made your point.

Put it down.

Now back off.

What's the matter? Don't you trust me?

Nicky DeVille trusted you, didn't he? Nicky tried to set me up. Don't respond

well to that.

Yeah, I know. I know how that goes.

So that's it. We're even.

Not quite.

Free police!

That'll be a bad loser, really.

You have the right to remain silent. If you give it that right, anything you say

can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Newspaper!

I'm hurt by your underestimation of me.

Up there in the window. Come on, people. We've left this area. Go, go.

Come on, BB -5. Requesting paramedics from the marina code. Gunshot victim.

Male. Chest wound. Stand by for vitals.

What do you have?

Just the gun. We lost him.

I saw the shooter.

I know him.

He works for Carl Regis.

Hold on, all right? Help's on the way.

Forgot about that.

Here.

Take this.

It's my lawyer's number.

Made a complete statement.

All signed and notarized and by the book, just the way you guys like it.

Tells the whole story.

You just hired me to kill Alex Castillo, and now you

try that bastard for me.

Do that.

You know I will.

I see a new dream, Saint.

and victor del toro winner

Don't you try to talk it down.

Why everyone backs on my town.

Look grand and deep.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in LA.

Just another day.
