All language subtitles for Karen Sisco s01e10 He Was a Friend of Mine

To you, Mordecai.

Thank him.

It's all right, Mordecai. Take your
time.

I can't believe you're letting him play
your hand.

Me either.

This is one.

Your dad's got another.

That so?

Karen calls.

You got me.

Nothing. Ten high.

Frank.

I got to go.

Wait a minute. Stick around. I'll give
you a stack. I'll write it down.

Okay. Next time I'll bring cash.

Good seeing you.

Good night.

Thank you.

Good night, Paula.

Be good, Morgan. Okay.

Let's play one for real. Who deals?

Marshall.

I read you like a book.

Saw straight through me.

One cut.

Anybody here?

You're not who I expected.

Yeah, well, I'm who you got.

Bring something for me.

You didn't open that, did you?

Just the mailman.

Look, can we get this over with?

Put it down.

Not till you make payment.

Payment?

For something I already own?

Now pay the man what I owe.

Whoever the hell he is.

Yeah. I just got a call from the cops.

Mordecai's dead.

It's your thing.

Do what you want to do.

Gomez,

why don't you do a sweep and pick up
what you can?

Hey, can somebody get me some decent
coffee?

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Detective Brahms.

Cisco. Marshall.

You called me, my card was in his
wallet. It's my father.

You knew the guy?

Yeah, he worked for me.

When was the last time you saw him?

About eight hours ago.

Any idea what happened?

No, from what I saw, it looked like a
head injury.

How?

It's hard to say. He could have been
hit. He could have fell.

I don't know.

We got forensics here. I see his car.

Did he drive it here? Where's his stuff?

Marshall.

Dave Campos.

Oh, yeah, Dave.

Yeah, I know.

I got old. It happened.

Hi, Karen.

Detective. Do I know you?

Long time ago.

Your dad and I worked the same
precincts.

I'll take care of him, Rollins.

Just take a walk.

That kid, is he in charge here? He's
just doing his job.

Mordecai Jones, are you still pals?

Long time, though.

Family friend.

I haven't seen him in years.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

I thought he had straightened himself
out.

Meaning what?

Doesn't mean anything.

You have any idea what he's doing down
here at 2 a .m.? Campos!

I gotta get back.

See you around.

You okay?

That thing's you.

Just a sec.

Don't need an I .D.

Yeah.

That's him.

There you go.

Is this everything?

What do you got on him?

Officer,

I think there's something missing here.

St. Christopher medal?

It isn't there. It wasn't there.

Karen!

DEA never sleeps.

Is that good or bad?

You've been drafted again.

Arvin Worley.

I want you to see him again.

Uh, no thanks. You can count me out.

Not so fast.

Look, I did my part. I went out with him
once. I wore your wire. Came home

covered in slime, not to mention a rash
from the tape. Outside of that, you

really liked him. Crazy in love.

Well, the thing is, he has been calling
the escort service we worked you

through, asking for you. By name.

What name?

Louise.

What, you can't find someone else? No,
he knows all my other agents. Besides,

connected with you.

You can get him to talk.

Among other things.

Karen, he's dealing designer drugs out
of his club like they were candy.

We need you to nail him.

And as for that rash, we'll get you some
new tape.

Problem.

You okay?

What? Look at those eyes. Something's
not right.

Mordecai Jones.

Found him this morning.

Wired for sound, huh?

Thanks. I did that once.

Tape drive you crazy?

No, it's all that electricity.

Made my nipples hard.

At least you got something out of it.

So, you grew up with this guy, did you?

Jones?

Uh, off and on.

My dad has a soft spot for cons. Figures
you do your time. You deserve a break.

But Mordecai was more than that. He
watched over me.

Kind of a teddy bear with tasks.

Anyway.

And they found him down on Ocean?

At 14th?

Yeah, why?

Miami -Dade popped a low -level dealer
down there a couple weeks ago.

Picked up two pounds of China White.

Thanks. You got family?

Yeah, he had a sister in Idaho. She died
a couple of years ago.

God, I hope she didn't look like him.
Hey, a little respect, huh?

What? He said she was dead.

I'm gonna take care of, uh, you know.

Yeah, I'll make some arrangements.

You gonna plant him or you gonna burn
him?

Plant him or burn him up. Well, that's
okay. You talk about tact, you know. You

make me laugh.

I'll tell you one thing. I'm not gonna
do either.

Until I find out what happened on that
dock.

Think somebody whacked him? I don't
think he fell down.

Could be money.

Guy owed everybody.

Anybody see anything recently?

Change of mood?

Behavior?

Not Mordecai.

Guy was a rock.

I didn't see no change. Nothing. Same.

Me either.

Yeah. I got something for you.

Autopsy report. I'm Jones.

Hedwin was incidental. Guy who did. He
had more smack in him than a lollipop.

Closing the case.

Wait a minute.

This case isn't ready to close.

I spent 12 years in your shoes, and I'm
telling you... That he was your friend.

That you knew him.

Your friend was a junkie. He OD'd. I'm
sorry.

Where'd you get this?

Rollins. Says he's closing the case.

Well, he was out of line.

But it is pretty cut and dry.

Except that it isn't.

He wasn't using couples.

Listen, he was a good man.

But it doesn't mean he didn't have
secrets.

Even from you.

Everybody's got secrets.

Dave, you're buying this?

The blood doesn't lie.

It doesn't mean it's telling the truth
either.

It... is what it is.

Let it go.

It'll be better for the both of you.

I'll check the desk you look around.

So you read his report?

I read it.

And?

He's been clean for 16 years,
sweetheart. I am certain of that.

So what are we looking for?

Not sure.

I know that we're the only ones looking.

God, I haven't been here in so long.

I stop by after school every once in a
while.

I'm worried if I'd make me a sandwich.

Where was I?

You know, working.

Oh, maybe.

What's that?

It's his betting system.

Very scientific. He'd line up the odd
and check the under, the over, the

weather. And then he'd bet the long
shot.

He was an underdog player.

The plate head.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

What is it you are looking for?

Spooky.

You think you hit someone big?

Possible.

Honey, I'm going to check this out.

Okay, well, I'll come with you. No.

Um, I'd rather do this by myself.

It's probably nothing.

I'll meet you back at your place.

All right, well, I'm going to be late.

You got a date?

Arvin Worley.

You're not going to wear that wig, are
you?

Okay, Louise.

Here's your phone.

You know I receive calls.

Anything else?

IQ. Knock it down a few points and let
him know you're impressed.

By what?

Whatever he thinks is impressive.

Just let him brag. Maybe he'll drop a
few clues.

You mean instead of his pants?

Don't bother knocking.

It's okay. Nothing to hide.

How's it going?

Plug me in. I light up.

I met your dad.

He had a run -in down at the precinct
today.

Is he okay?

He's just looking for a fare.

Talk to me.

Hey, Mikey, how you doing?

Walter Bookman?

Yeah.

All right, you're down for a dime.

Burroughs, minus 2 .5.

Mikey, I hope they got a quarterback.

What can I do for you?

I'm Marshall Sisko. I'm here about
Mordecai Jones.

Look, unless you got cash for me, I'm
not taking his action.

Mordecai's dead.

What are you... Are you kidding me, man?

You covering his lights?

You don't mean to say that, do you?

Hey, look, man, I'm sorry about John V,
all right? But a guy dies owing you six

grand. It's a little upsetting.

He's into you for 6 ,000?

Unchange. How'd he get that fee?

I got a soft heart.

Okay,

I'll bite.

How'd he die?

Somebody took him out.

Were you a cop?

Something like that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Because if
you're thinking that I had him taken

out because he owes me money, you're
wrong.

I got a business to run here.

I don't rough up the deadbeats. I just
cut them loose.

Can you think of anybody who would?

Jonesy?

An old con like that?

I mean, who would even bother?

Thing is, I liked him.

He bit the dog.

Yeah, he did.

So, tell me, Arvind, what's the secret
of your success?

Anyone can open up a club, but it takes
a genius to make it breathe.

Breathe? Really?

You getting that?

Bunch of crap.

Sex, excitement, danger.

You feel it, Louise?

It is what I create.

Fascinating.

Out there, what do you see?

Bunch of kids getting high?

Getting high is what it's all about.

Culture of commerce.

Without high, no sex.

No sex, no clump.

Not that I know anything about it.

The drugs, that is.

Even though all the girls in the ladies'
room say this is where they're scoring.

Yeah. The DEA thinks so, too.

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh.

Yeah, they sent five agents. First two
months I was open.

I spotted them.

I bet they didn't think about that.

I have an instinct about you.

How so?

I didn't get where I am without asking
for what I want, so, um... Here's the

thing.

I want you.

She should ask him about his cars.

Tell me about your cars.

Well, I just got a 91.

That's DeRosa.

That must be worth a lot.

More than you know.

How about you come out to the warehouse
and I could take you for the

drive of your life.

I could steer and...

You shift?

You know how to, uh, handle a stick,
right?

Ow!

Oh, you're not like the other experts,
are you? Yeah, you got that right.

Where are you going?

I'm paying you.

You bore me, Arvin.

Look, I'm a simple girl, and I have
simple rules.

Don't even think about calling me.

Unless you want to get real.

Hey.

Hey.

How was the date?

Didn't kill him.

That's my girl.

Remember this?

Yeah.

I took that one.

Spring training.

One guy bet me Roger Clemens would hit
somebody first inning he worked.

Did he?

Yeah. Had a teammate in batting
practice.

Didn't count, though.

He's a lefty.

Clemens? I don't think so.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

I want to put the guy off me.

Yeah.

Campos. Dave, Marshal Sisko. I didn't
wake you, did I?

Oh, not at all.

Mordecai Jones was left -handed.

Autopsy report said the needle went in
his left arm.

You want to tell me how a left -handed
person can shoot dope in his left arm?

Meet me at the station in ten minutes.

I've got something to show you. Right
-o.

Hey, Dad, should we... Dad?

We found it under the pier this
afternoon.

Mordecai's prints were all over it. Why
didn't you call me? It's police

business. I wouldn't be telling you now
if he wasn't such a pain in my ass.

It was empty.

They ran a test on the residue.

It came back. Heroin.

94%. That's worth a ton on the street.
He was not only using, he was dealing.

I don't buy that.

What you did to Mordecai was a long time
ago.

You gotta put it out of your head.

Not looking for advice, Dave.

Look, if you let the guilt drive you on
this thing, It's going to destroy you.

I'm telling you that as a friend.

Hello.

Hey, Louise.

Did I wake you?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I was, uh...

Just thinking about you.

Don't.

You ever talk dirty on the phone?

Yes.

Wow.

You're doing great.

He's over the moon for you.

Maybe, but he's still not talking.

He will.

Just remember, you're an escort, not a
karate instructor.

Sorry.

Thing is, I think he liked her.

Oh, that's good.

If he gropes me again, he's going to
lose a hand.

Karen, you got a minute?

I'm worried.

He won't listen to logic.

It's like he's on a mission.

Maybe he's just standing up for his
friend.

What a guy Jones. He went out to sell
dope. He got himself killed.

It's simple as that.

Tragic, I know.

But it happens.

You're a cop. You know that.

Marshall has taken this thing too hard.

He's got to back off.

Sounds like a warning.

Not at all.

But I've seen your father this way
before.

Keep an eye on Garrett.

That's all I'm saying.

This is it.

My inner sink.

Oh.

Got a lot of nice toys in here, Arvin.

Not just toys.

The stuff of dreams.

Know a man's passion?

Know his soul.

These cars are my future.

Really?

They could be your future, too.

Thank you, partner.

I've been thinking about what you said
the other night.

You know, about, uh, getting real.

I think I'm in love with you.

Unbelievable.

That's very flattering.

Don't feel it.

Or search.

Listen, before we start surging... I'm
going to take you places you've never

been before.

You have no idea where I've been.

Marvin.

Get out!

You play these tapes for anyone in your
neck.

Dad, are you in here?

I'm here.

Who did this?

Me.

I thought you came here to get in some
clothes.

Well, one thing led to another, and
there's another box in there if you want

give me a hand.

Honey, I can tell you one thing. For a
guy dealing drugs, this guy left no

trail. Dad, you gotta stop.

Not if I'm gonna sleep, sweetheart.

Just came in here looking for a decent
shirt.

Look, we'll clean this up. Something
without a palm tree.

We can't bring him back, you know that.

That's all of it? Words for words. This
guy Willie has given you guys absolutely

nothing. We don't think so. We think
we're close. Another few dates, Karen

in the right way.

You wanted to sleep with this creep?

I didn't say I wanted her to sleep with
anybody.

U .S. Marshals are not in the
prostitution business.

Particularly not this one.

This is off the case.

Hey, Amos, we need this guy to talk.

And we can't start over again.

You won't have to.

He said it already. I didn't see him
before.

All you need is a court order.

Cisco. Got a telephone call. Line 2. Guy
named Rollins.

Hey. Excuse me.

Rollins.

So what'd he do?

He beat up a nickel and dime dealer,
Cisco.

A couple of cops and a cruiser had to
stop him before he got out of hand.

Is the guy okay?

Yeah, he's fine.

Look, I got your dad down in lockup. I
want you to pick him up and get him out

of here.

And if you wouldn't tell him, last time
I checked, he is no longer a cop.

So I want him to stay out of my
investigation.

I thought it was close.

Von Jones, yeah.

Not in the briefcase.

It was filled with China White.

So... This is none of his business.

And it's none of your business,
Marshall.

Bill, it's Karen. Remember the China
White story you told me about the box?

I need you to get me the name of that
girl.

Now.

How's your hand?

Nothing to worry about. I'm sorry they
dragged you down here.

So what were you doing?

Asking questions.

I'm confused.

I don't understand what's going on.

I'm trying to find out what happened.

I'm not talking about Mordecai. I'm
talking about us.

You walked out on me, and it's not okay.

What can happen, and it's over.

Can we forget about it?

No, I don't want to forget about it.

You're doing the exact same thing you
did when Mom died.

And it's scaring me.

Will you look at me?

I was 14 and you just left.

It may have looked like you were there,
but you weren't.

And I don't want that to happen again.

I want you back.

So I'm giving you this chance.

What's this about?

Let's go someplace else and have a
little talk, all right?

All right.

Honey,

after your mother died, they started
drinking.

I thought I was keeping it from you, but
apparently I wasn't.

I went out on a burglary call one night.

I was loaded.

South Beach, a couple of junkies.

I tuned one of them up pretty good, put
him in the hospital.

Almost killed him.

Now, if I go with the truth, I'm out of
a job.

They kicked me off the force.

No job, single parent.

Social services, I figured, you know,
they might take you away from me.

So I lied.

I fiddled with the report.

blamed the beating on the other junkie.

He did a year for my assault.

Guy gets out of prison, he comes to me.
I figure he's gunning for me.

Steady thanks me.

Straighten himself out inside, and he's
grateful.

That was Mordecai.

Guy straightened me out, too.

Saved my life.

But I never told him that I cost him a
year of his.

Cisco. Hey, Phil.

Yeah?

Good work.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

It's a long shot, but I got a name.

Let me have it.

No.

We do this together or not at all

The

long shot

Campo? What are you... What happened?

I got a tip.

Anonymous. The guy who lives here was
seen at the beauty of the night.

I thought I'd check it out.

I guess he knew I was coming.

Alfredo Cano.

Heroin dealer.

He drew on me and I took him out.

You took out a possible witness.

It wasn't my choice.

I guess that's the medal that belongs to
Jones.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Who shot him?

I did.

I need some air.

Let's go outside.

Campos.

Who told you about this medal?

You did.

Remember?

That's the guy, Marshall.

It's over.

Let it go.

What do you think?

Like the guy said, it's over.

Not the Ferrari.

You're just in time.

Not the Ferrari!

Know a man's passion, and you know it's
bold.

Right there.

Tree.

I offer you the world.

You were right.

It's all in there. Enough to light up
the whole town.

Boys and their toys.

You think he'll talk? Absolutely.

I owe you one, Karen.

Good luck with that rash.

Webster, you mean that?

About owing me one?

I need some information.

Maybe something your agency doesn't want
me to have.

This fishing expedition?

It's a pretty strong hunch.

Lives involved?

Yeah.

Dave. Look, now that this is all over,
how about let's have that dinner

on Mordecai.

The least I can do.

I got to call in and let them know where
I'll be.

By all means.

Not again, Cisco.

Where's Kempos?

If you don't mind, I'm off duty here.

Maybe you ought to jump back on.

Do you know Agent Webster, DEA?

Detective.

It seems that you and I have been
moonlighting for the same people since

time we started sharing.

Israel, do you want to give us a minute?

Sure. Thanks.

Okay. How much do you know?

Bus three weeks ago. Five keys of China
White go into a locker as evidence.

Six days later, half of it's missing.

No one knows who or how.

Then a briefcase turns up.

Mordecai.

Traces show it's the very same stuff.

Someone's selling it back to the dealer.
And it can't be Jones.

Because he's not on the inside.

Who is it?

You know.

Yeah. But I can't make it stick.

Especially now that the dealer's dead.

So you're just gonna wait?

You might be willing to do that, but I'm
not.

Find me Campos.

Yeah.

I need your gun, Dave.

Nice to meet you.

Now step out.

Hey, Jimmy, I need a low -jack crate
from the 1972 Cadillac Eldorado.

Yeah, license plate Mary Young, boy
able, boy young.

Thanks.

You killed him.

You're not going to shoot me here.

It wouldn't be smart.

Well, you know more about what I'm going
to do than I do, Dave.

Why don't you tell me what happened?

I got nothing to tell you. And I'll tell
you.

You've been selling confiscated dope.

You needed somebody to make the drop.

You ran into Mordecai. Where? The track?

Guy needed money.

Knew how to keep his mouth shut.

And I didn't tell you about the St.
Christopher medal either.

You said you hadn't seen him for years.

You wouldn't have known about that
unless he told you.

How about that, Dave? Am I getting
close?

You got nothing.

You got no proof.

I don't need proof, Dave.

I got a gut feeling about this. You
killed my friend.

Dad?

Stay out of this, honey.

This is my problem.

You don't want to do this.

Somebody's going to get this nut off me.
I want an answer, Dave.

You're going to let him do it?

Time's up, Dave.

Hold on.

I sent him in.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

I want to hear why.

Why? Yeah.

30 years.

30 years!

And I got nothing.

A fake gold watch.

A cop's lousy pension.

I don't have nothing.

But I swear to God, I didn't want
anything to happen to Mordecai.

You gotta know, you know how that is.

You've been there.

Coffee now, Dev.

Let's go home, sweetheart.

Time to get this behind us.

Guy was a friend of mine.
