Original subtitles

Give me another shot.

Most guys don't look me in the eye, but you don't look at all.

What's the matter, baby?

Nothing. I just came in for a drink.

She's real pretty.

Your girlfriend?

Wife? She was gonna be.

Did she leave you?

Yeah, you could say that.

Bummer.

So, you live around here or what?

I used to a while back.

Oh, where'd you move?

Arizona, New Mexico, Costa Rica.

So, you came back to La La Land to... Drink.

No chit -chat, okay?

Hit me again.

Nothing would give me more pleasure.

I'm out of here. Good night.

Night.

Come on, man. Pour.

Sorry. That was last call.

Sorry, we're closed.

Come on, man. Just a quick little beer.

Oh, man, that sucks.

Give me some change for some smokes, all right?

How many bills you want?

All of them.

Now!

Head over your wallet.

No.

You want to die?

But I do want you to put the gun down.

And then I want you to turn around and put your hands over your head.

You think you're some kind of cop or something?

I used to be.

You're right.

Come on, hurry up, let's go, let's go!

Down. Get down or I'll spray your brains across the floor!

Really?

What are you afraid of?

All you gotta do is pull.

Come on.

Come on.

You're crazy. He could have killed you.

You can't kill someone who's already dead.

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone bags on

my town.

Stand and see, it was for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in LA.

See more than me.

Anybody.

Makes me free.

Stop it.

Put it down.

Just another day.

It's responding.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You calling in to hold up? Yeah.

Hang in there. The paramedics are on their way.

Yeah, tell them to bring a shovel to scoop up that piece of crap.

You shoot him?

He shot himself.

Where's his gun?

Another guy grabbed it.

He tried to rob me. This other guy grabbed it. The gun went off and he

What did he look like?

It's a guy. I didn't get a good look at him. Any other witnesses?

No, just me here closing up.

Where did Guy disappear to?

You'll fall in love again and be happy.

Serenity. Sir, please say serenity.

Whose serenity?

My daughter.

Her father took her away.

Your ex -husband?

No.

He wouldn't marry me.

I need people to sign this so the court will hear my case again.

Why won't he show custody?

He was his first child and he didn't think he'd have another one.

He's rich and he got his lawyers to destroy me in court.

When I think about her, waking up in the middle of the night, alone,

with nobody to hold her, I just want to die.

I'll get her back for you.

You can get her back?

How?

We don't have a description of the shooter.

The bartender's account was suspicious, so we bagged his hands and did a GSR

test.

It was negative for gunpowder residue.

We think it was the robbery, but our only other known witness is an alleged

suspect. He's unconscious and in critical condition at St. John's.

All right, if he comes too, why don't you see if you can ID the shit?

Are you sure there's not a new address for Mark Winters?

Thanks anyway.

My DMV contact only has his old address on file.

He's hiding her. From what? What is he afraid of?

Because Serenity wants to be with me.

She tells him every day she wants to be an artist, just like her mother.

Very talented. Look.

Do this for me.

But if you never see her, how could she draw this picture?

I took her away two months ago.

You kidnapped her! How can a mother kidnap her own child?

Look, I found out the new wife was hurting her. She hates serenity.

I know that every time she looks into her eyes, it's me she sees.

And then what happened? They just took her back?

The police found us.

So there's a kidnap report?

Yeah.

We've had two smash and grab robberies in the last week.

Suspect is described as...

Excuse me, sir, but this is a... Sir, I look like a sir to you?

Victor? Oh, my God, it is Victor.

Victor. Hey!

You didn't recognize me? That is a blonde.

Where the hell had you been, huh?

Besides a bad barber.

You know what they say, blondes have more fun.

You got that right.

Officers Harper, Strickland, Cruz, Victor Del Toro. I used to be an officer

here. Long before you were called Lieutenant Calloway.

And you, Sergeant?

Hey, it might have been you if you would have stayed.

What about you? Did you get promoted, too?

Oh, you could say that.

I'm Mrs. Lieutenant now.

Wow, you guys got married.

Wow,

that's fantastic.

Yeah, well, so, what are you doing? Are you staying or you're just visiting?

Well, I'm actually planning to stay for a while.

That's what I was hoping to talk to you about.

Absolutely. You can handle this, right? Yeah.

Sergeant McNamara, go to work.

He used to work here. What happened?

His fiancée was murdered.

A week before their wedding.

You want to come back?

Victor, this is great, man.

Are you sure?

You know, I'm not going to BS you, man.

This last year for me was hell.

I've been traveling, running.

Until I realized what I was trying to get away from was all right in here.

And if I didn't deal with it, it was going to kill me.

I know I'll never meet anybody like Linda in this lifetime.

But there was the only good thing left for me.

Being a cop.

Now I can't help what happened to me.

But I know I can still help people.

You sure this is what you want?

No.

This is what I need.

Help me, please. I need to see whoever's in charge.

Are you okay? No, I'm not okay.

What happened?

I'll only talk to your boss.

What's going on here?

I'm not sure.

I was robbed. By whom?

By a filthy man on the street.

You mean a homeless man?

You're supposed to protect us.

Why do you let those animals live out there and attack us?

It's not safe to even walk down the street anymore.

What did he do to you?

He grabbed me.

Pulled me into the alley and ripped away my purse.

Did he harm you in any other way? He took everything.

I mean physically.

Did he physically harm you in any way?

No. I want you to get my money back.

Ma 'am, we can't do anything until you give us a description and assessment.

I'll take care of this. Thank you.

But you're in charge, aren't you?

Ma 'am, it's my job to handle crime report.

Why won't you help me?

Officer Kelly will take good care of you.

You'll be okay.

What's up?

I was just remembering last time I saw you behind this desk, you were sneaking

candy bars from Palermo. Yeah, well, then going platinum fried your brain

because it was you sneaking the candy bars.

Lieutenant Calloway.

Hi. Yeah, I'd like to schedule a psych test and polygraph test for Victor Del

Toro.

That's right.

Yeah, I'm supporting his application for reinstatement.

Thank you.

You, my friend, are on at 11 a .m. tomorrow morning.

Thanks, DC. Don't thank me. Just pass the test and maybe shave your head or

something.

Everybody have any good news?

Victor's coming back.

That's great.

Cruz.

Yeah, okay.

What's up?

That was the ICU.

Robber suspect from the bar just died.

Unless we determine what really happened, we're looking at it.

The court initially removed the victim from the mother's care when it was

determined that the mother was a violent alcoholic.

That's a lie.

Look, I never hurt anyone but myself.

How come you didn't tell me any of this?

You're the only one willing to help me. I was afraid you'd run away. I'm not

running anywhere.

But you gotta tell me the truth.

Talk to me.

I drank.

But not when I was pregnant.

I swear.

But before.

And after.

While he tried taking her away.

Once she was gone, I got worse.

But I know it's my fault.

I'm not trying to change anything, but I've got a good job now, and I've been

sober in AA for five years.

Look.

I deserve a second chance.

Hello? Mommy?

Serenity.

Mi vida, are you okay?

I miss you. I want to come home.

I know you do, and I want to be with you. Where are you?

A new house.

Get in a dress.

What's the address?

Tell me how to get there.

I'm not sure how.

It's up a street called... Hello?

Serenity?

That was your mother, wasn't it?

No. You little liar.

I just want to talk to her. So she can ruin everything again?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Stop. What's going on?

I caught her talking to that woman again.

You didn't give Mommy our new address, did you?

I stopped her before she could.

And look at what's wrong.

I just want to see her again.

But you know she's not well. She's sick.

Oh, come here, sweetheart.

I just want a happy home for all of us.

Is that too much to ask?

Hey.

It's going to be okay.

She'll be with you soon.

How?

Her name and address isn't listed anywhere on this.

It's probably Detective Barron's files at headquarters.

How do we get in there?

I want the shooter's name.

Now.

I am the victim.

Okay, what did I do?

If it was a bar fight and you're covering for the guy, it's a felony

to murder.

That guy popped him in self -defense.

I believe you.

As soon as I hear it from him.

Come on, man. The guy saved my life.

Well, if you feel more comfortable, we could talk about it down at the station.

No, look.

He said he used to be a cop.

A cop?

Yeah. He was getting real wasted that night. He said something happened with

fiancée.

I mean, the guy has a walking time bomb.

You don't want to set him on.

What'd this guy look like?

May I help you?

Yes, you may.

Del Toro? Yeah.

Sorry, I didn't recognize you. You've never seen a blonde -haired Mexican?

Sure, I booked one for hooking on Lincoln once.

Right on. What are you doing here?

Reinstatement. Psych evaluation.

Think I'll fool him?

I doubt it.

There you go.

Thanks.

Helen, it's Victor. The bartender said the shooter was a Latino ex -cop with

short, bleached hair.

I served side -by -side with Victor Del Toro for five years. I know what kind of

guy he is.

I haven't seen him in the last five months.

I don't know what kind of guy he was before, but he's different now.

There's a bomb ready to explode.

It's in the lobby. You don't have much time.

It's set to go off in five minutes.

Wait!

Attention all personnel, we've had a bomb...

somebody and then comes in here asking to be reinstated the next day? Chief C,

there's a bomb by the headquarters.

They found a suspicious package and they need a separate crowd control.

Isn't that where Victor is right now?

Victor was here for his psych test.

I want you to find him. I thought we were supposed to... Find him.

Sorry to bring you guys out, but we spotted a package in the lobby.

Did a man call it in?

No, it was a woman, if you can believe it. And I thought you were all too

evolved for this kind of nonsense.

Did you see Victor Del Toro come in? He'd be hard to miss.

I sent him upstairs.

Great, he's coming back, huh?

False alarm!

We can go back in!

Did you see Victor leave?

No.

He only filled out his name.

Maybe that's all he had time to do.

Damn it!

Somebody broke into my desk!

All right, slow it down.

There. He could have dropped it right there. I don't see anything.

He's just carrying a jacket.

He didn't drop a thing. Why would he do something like that in the first place?

Lieutenant Detective Barron is here to see you.

Can I help you? I hope so.

Sergeant Lee said you were looking for an ex -officer during the bomb

evacuation, Victor Del Toro. Right, he was applying for reinstatement.

I understand he had a breakdown last year. Yeah, his fiancée was murdered.

And he went psycho.

Played Russian roulette to extract a confession from a suspect, got suspended

IA. Was investigated and cleared.

But he's had a taste of vigilante justice.

All right, get to your point.

I reviewed the surveillance video.

I'm ruling out any civilians who entered the building before the bomb threat.

I need to talk to Del Toro.

Victor would never have anything to do with that. Del Toro was one of our

officers. Before his crack -up.

Have him give me a call.

I'd like to see what he's like now.

Don't you think we should have told him that we're looking at Victor as a

possible suspect?

Do you know what that'll do to Victor's chances of becoming a cop again?

If he's guilty, he won't be a cop.

We will talk to Victor first.

Then we'll kick it upstairs.

I don't know, guys.

Maybe we should call the captain.

If we know about something they're hiding, what'll happen to us?

Oh, that's good. Thinking about your own career.

I'm thinking about all of ours.

He's a freak who's out of control and they're too blind to see it.

Someone broke into my desk and filled crime reports.

One was a kidnapping file on Serenity. You don't think it was common, do you?

I'm looking at a disgruntled ex -cop as the main suspect.

Tell me my new address wasn't in that file.

Nope. It's in my book. Look, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

You're right.

Anyways, what I'm more concerned about is when we're playing golf again.

I've got a tee time at Riviera on Saturday.

Larry's partner backed out. We need a 40.

Count me in. All right.

So we're going to pick a blue pail like that one and a red pail like that one

and fill them with sand and make sand castles. So, what are my two beauties

doing?

Really? Mm -hmm. We're going to go to the beach tomorrow and make some.

I just can't believe Victor would have anything to do with this. The woman gave

the bomb threat and sure he'll be calling any minute. What if he doesn't?

I'll see you at home.

There's got to be somebody else behind this.

The mother may be armed and should be considered extremely dangerous.

Those are just more lies.

To keep me from seeing her. Prior to the kidnapping, Ms. Rios repeatedly broke

court restraining orders and spoke to the child.

Why didn't you tell me you were committed for a 72 -hour psych hold?

doctors let me go.

What mother wouldn't go crazy knowing her child was being hurt like that?

You didn't write Mark's address anywhere or phone number.

The only number left is Gordon Boerhaus.

That's his lawyer.

He's the one who ruined me in court.

Well... He's probably gone by now, so we'll have to pay him a visit tomorrow.

Why are you giving up everything for me and my daughter?

Why not?

Because the woman that I loved was murdered.

I was in the ambulance with her, and she was bleeding.

And she knew she was going to die.

And even though we were going to be married, she made me make a promise to

that I'd fall in love again.

And she said that her only regret was...

She never got a chance to say, I do.

And then she died in my arms.

I realized that I made her a promise that I couldn't keep.

So in her last moment,

I lied to her.

But you have the rest of your life to keep that promise.

I need a drink.

Do you want to come with me?

That's how I lost everything.

I am so sorry.

I completely forgot.

Maybe if you stop, you might see that there's... Hope?

I gave up believing in anything.

after I lost my daughter.

I was walking around dead, drinking even more.

I didn't even think AA could help me.

But they taught me one thing,

the serenity prayer.

I thought it was a sign, you know, my daughter's name.

It goes, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

The courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah. You know it?

Yes. You've been there?

I say it every day.

And it's given me hope that someday I'll be with Serenity again.

But your child is still alive.

I don't think that prayer will work for me.

I knew I'd find you here.

Me and Linda always used to come here.

The last time we kissed was the last time I felt alive.

Victor, do you know anything about that bomb threat today?

What are you doing?

I'm saving a life.

Whose?

Why?

To make up for what happened.

To Linda?

I know you're still hurting, Victor.

But you still have friends.

Victor!

I can't let you go.

I thought you were my friend.

I am.

That's why I have to stop you so you don't hurt anybody else.

I'll hurt whoever gets in my way.

Victor, please stop.

You never could shoot, could you?

You were there the night Linda was murdered, and you didn't fire.

I was outgunned. The room was being sprayed. I had to protect an innocent

from being killed.

You protected the wrong one.

I replay that moment in my mind over and over again,

wondering if I could have done anything differently.

I didn't know you blamed me, too.

You want me to forgive you?

No.

I just want you to come with me so we can end all this.

Call in when it's time.

Victor, if you go that way, I'll have to call all the other units.

Stop you.

I can't believe you didn't tell us where you were going.

I didn't know he'd be there. It was just a hunch.

He should have shared it, Chris. Maybe two of us could have convinced him to

turn himself in.

It wasn't Victor.

The look in his eyes, it was like his soul was gone.

Calloway.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

They just approved the arrest warrant for Victor.

What did he mean about saving lives?

Probably has to do with someone in those files.

When he was up in your office, why did he draw the blinds?

Wanted a private meeting.

But you left him alone while we dealt with that woman.

Do you think she has anything to do with this?

You know, when I got back up there, he was standing behind the desk just

out the window.

He had time to access police files.

Have you changed your passcode since last year?

Nope. The files are coded and tracked. If I did a search... We can figure out

which files he downloaded once you get on it.

an urgent message from one of your field units.

Callaway, go ahead.

Lieutenant, this is Cruz. We've spotted Del Toro.

He's at the corner of Ocean Front Walk and Breeze at an ice cream stand

surrounded by bystanders. Unless he spots you, all I want you to do is

surveillance until we get there.

Bobby, be careful. He could be armed. Let's go.

He's right there. We should get him now.

We're supposed to watch him unless he falls.

Who would he call that?

It's Del Toro, come on!

He's a psychopath.

He shot and killed a robber, called in a bomb threat, stole police files, and

attacked three of us. What next?

Where'd you get that?

This guy gave it to me on the boardwalk.

What did he look like?

He has kind of weird -looking white hair. He gave me ten bucks, and he told

to bring it here.

Thanks. You're welcome. Bye.

What's it say?

You're a smart lawyer, so let's negotiate.

Give me your client's address and live. Don't, you die.

Who?

Mark Winters.

Negotiation's over.

What? Wait.

Wait a minute.

Wait.

Listen,

listen, let me write you.

Now you get one more chance to renegotiate. You know what I'm doing.

your office and I'll let you out.

Ladder me and you're right here.

Give me the address.

7232 Santa Monica Colony.

No one's home.

Now what do we do?

We wait.

We're going to get her back to him.

Thank you for doing this.

I'm taking Serenity back to Mexico. I want you to come with us.

That can't happen.

But we can start over.

What will you do when we're gone?

He's lost his mind.

Del Toro attacked three officers, survived 50 ,000 bolts from a taser

he on PCP or something?

I can't explain it, and I don't know where he is.

You better pray I don't find him first.

Jesse, I tracked down the file at... Oh, I'm sorry. What file?

Del Toro was here a couple of days ago, around 9 a .m., so I had Sergeant

McNamara track down all files accessed from my computer about that time.

You think he stole files from you, too?

He may have.

He did.

The file was downloaded from your computer at 9 .11 a .m. at Serenity

She was kidnapped two months ago by her mother after a child custody battle.

Hey, this woman was in a station.

Well, Victor was at my house.

What do you know about this woman?

He's got him.

Baby.

Don't hurt my baby. Just take her and go.

Don't move.

They were here. They've got Mark.

What about Serenity?

Please, just find him before they hurt him.

Suspect's name is Victor Del Toro. He's described as a Latino male with bleach

blonde short hair.

28 years old, suspect is armed and dangerous, believed to have kidnapped

individuals. Last seen driving a stolen black 1998 Cadillac DeVille license

plate 4 Alpha Victor Alpha 427.

Roger, 1PB6.

I didn't think I'd be saying those words.

He stole a brand new Cadillac?

Yeah.

Well, if it's got a teletrack system, we can locate wherever they are in the

city.

Victor, please come with us. We can start over.

I can't run anymore.

But what if you change your mind? Just get going.

How are we going to let you know if we made it? Write to my mother, Rosa del

Todo, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Thank you for my mommy.

You're welcome, sweetie.

It's going to be okay.

I'll thump until you get away.

Go.

The truck is heading west on Colorado by fourth.

Now third.

Second. Colorado dead ends. On the pier where he used to go with Linda. Let's

go.

This is 1PB3. The suspect, Victor Del Toro, is believed to be on the Santa

Monica Pier.

All Pacific Blue and Black and White units, please respond.

Attention all units, we have a hostage situation at the Santa Monica Pier.

Send in negotiators and a squad team.

No! He's gonna kill us. We can talk him out of this.

Victor!

Victor, look.

We know what you're trying to do for that little girl, Serenity.

She only wants to be with her mom.

And saving her is gonna make up for what happened to Linda?

It's not just Serenity's life, but her family's.

The one he destroyed.

You only care about getting what you want.

And you'll rip apart anything to get it.

He's gonna kill him. We gotta take the shot.

No!

Back off!

Victor!

Come on, man.

Hurting him is not gonna change what happened to you.

Yeah, maybe.

But he won't be able to hurt them ever again.

I'm sorry.

Why did you take Serenity away from her mother? I just wanted to give her

something. You just wanted to control her.

Why don't you just say it? You wanted to control her.

Victor, please don't.

Say it! I wanted to control her.

But now, you want her to be free, right? Don't you?

Yes.

So let's just say a prayer so they make it, okay?

We'll say her prayer.

You know how it goes.

How does it go?

The serenity prayer. You've never said it?

No! I'll teach it to you.

God...

God, God, grant me the serenity.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

To accept the things I cannot change.

Victor, stop.

The courage to change the things I can.

The courage to change the things I can.

And the wisdom. No!

No! No!

We need paramedic units down here right

now. Oh, my God, no.

We have a man down.

Multiple gunshot wounds to the... What's wrong?

No blood.

No bullet wounds.

I missed them purpose.

I couldn't shoot him.

Neither can I.

His gun is empty.

I just wanted him to go home.

I just want to go home.

Stay here, man. Stay here. Stay here. You are not going anywhere.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Please.

Victor, we are so sorry.

Do you forgive us?

I do.

We love you, man.

Thank you.

Dear Victor, as promised, I am writing to let you know that Serenity and I have

made it safely to Mexico.

We were even lucky enough to find a small house that's right on the beach.

Serenity is so happy and asks if you will ever come to visit us.

Even though you and I spent such a short time together, I think of you often and

wonder how you are.

I hope that you have found the peace and happiness that my daughter and I now

share.

You have given us the most precious gift.

The chance to begin a new life.

Your courage and sacrifice will always remain in our hearts.

Gracias, por todo.

My dear friend.

Lovingly, Carmen and Serenity.

It was postmarked from Ensenada.

No address.

Victor's mom boarded it from Santa Fe.

So what should we do?

Send a letter to the juvenile division?

One letter.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone wags on my town.

Look, stand, and see.

It works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in LA.

Anybody, she's all that needs.

Anybody,

please see it free.

Someday.

What is it now?

Just another day.
