Smith.

Okay, thanks.

Got the warrant.

What the hell is that?

Teresa!

Teresa!

I'm not.

I'm not.

Come on, just cut a big one.

Hi, what's your name?

Sean Dornan.

Sean, do you know where you are? Yeah,
Los Angeles.

I can't believe it happened.

Do you know what day it is? Yeah, it's
Thursday.

It's a nasty cut on your chin, Sean.

I didn't even feel it.

Anybody get hurt?

My partner's checking now. Here, keep
some pressure on that until I get back,

okay? Yeah.

Driver's DOA, I'm checking the
passenger.

Where's that engine come from?

Should be here any minute.

Randy?

Someone's alive in here.

How's he doing?

I don't know anything yet.

Except he's gonna wake up and off.

Was he about seven?

Yeah.

Same age as my boy Willie.

Well, his grandmother's coming in from
Indiana.

Bad weather kept her clean on the
ground.

Teresa, I'm going to need to talk to you
about the accident.

Things aren't quite as simple as we
thought.

Should we go talk in the hall?

I'd rather stay here if you don't mind.

I just don't want him to wake up alone.

I just don't want him to wake up alone.

What? A neck model. A neck model?

Yeah.

Oh, God, you know, sometimes people in
coma, they can sort of hear what's going

on.

I'm sure that's such a good thing.

It's good for him to hear laughter.

John Dornan, the trucker, tested
positive for methamphetamine.

Is it in the report? Yeah, it's in the
report.

A DUI with two fatalities, he's looking
at murder one.

Well, that's why this case gets dropped
off on your desk.

Yeah, he says it wasn't his fault.

Yeah, he says that the guy cut him off.

jammed on his brakes, and that's why he
lost control of his rig. Anyone

interested to corroborate that? In the
report.

I have an 18 -wheeler on speed.

Well, that's what happens these days.
They deregulated the shipping rates, so

these guys got to drive two or three
shifts straight through just to make

meet for their family. Mr. Dornan can
make his own excuses, Ray. So who was

first on the scene?

I'm Maddox. That's Reese and Randy.

Oh, yeah.

By the way, there's this claims adjuster
from the insurance company. She wants

to shadow the investigation.

You can make her go away if you want.

Claims adjuster.

Excuse me.

I'll call you back.

Bobby Smith.

Hello, Vicki.

When did you move from fraud to
homicide?

About three years ago.

It seems to suit you. You look good.

Thanks.

You too.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You know, I always thought you'd call.

Well, you said you were involved.

And you could have called me. I
considered it.

Except you told me it never makes
business a pleasure.

Yeah, so I guess we're back to square
one.

Except I'm no longer involved.

Oh. Oh.

Maybe...

We should take care of this business.

All right.

This is my partner, Joel Stevens, Vicky
Pineda, Garamond

Casualty Insurance.

How are you? How are you doing?

I'm going to go to the hospital, talk to
Teresa, see what's going on with this

truck driver.

Okay, cool.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

So, same deal as before?

You run the show, I get a front row seat
and fill in where I can.

Works for me.

Great. Okay.

No, thanks. That's all I need.

The fifth person I've talked to, and
they all say that Sean Dornan is a stand

-up guy.

We don't let him hire just anybody to
drive his trucks.

Bobby, as a friend and a risk assessment
professional,

I suggest that you not light up.

And if I ignore your advice?

Then I'll join you.

So what are you still doing
investigating insurance claims?

Because when we worked that phony home
invasion, you were pretty disillusioned

with the job.

With the company, not the job.

And I didn't want to start at the bottom
of a new field. I'm good at what I do.

I like the puzzle.

So I guess I just figured a way to make
it work for me.

Hey. Hey.

Talked to Teresa?

Yeah, I did.

Anything confirm that trucker's story?

Well, she said she remembered a small
four -door car, maybe ten years old,

stopped on the shoulder just past the
accident scene, said it looked like it

might have been rear -ended.

Did she get up late?

No, she said it took off too quick. It
was faded green with a red left rear

door.

It's not a lot to go on. No, it isn't.

Listen, guys, I need to get back to the
office.

Keep me posted, okay?

You know I will.

Good to see you again, Bobby.

Good to see you.

Bright lady.

Seems like you two might have worked on
more than a case together.

Yeah, we kind of danced around each
other.

The timing wasn't quite right for either
of us.

And what about now?

Now we get to find this vehicle.

Okay.

I'll have communications put out an info
-only broadcast.

You know, if these guys really did cause
this accident and they're smart, they'd

ditch the car.

Yeah, you're right.

How many wrecking yards do you think
they got in L .A.?

Better start making phone calls.

Doctor says I can't keep breathing this
stuff.

I gotta sell the business.

Go with the air is better, but nobody
will give me a fair price. What about

car?

Well, it was right here.

You know about that? I saw it just after
lunch. Hell yeah!

Hey, Fred!

Where's that green and red job you put
here this morning?

You mean that one?

Come

on,

come on, man.

The guy buys the Accord from you last
week, then he sells it back to you as

this morning.

You didn't think to mention that to us
earlier?

I was out sick with this cop all last
week.

One of my guys handled the sale.

Neither of you have a lozenge.

I'm thinking this accident was no
accident.

We think the driver of the vehicle may
have been looking to get into an

accident. LA should be proud. It's the
insurance fraud capital of the world.

Yeah, we're talking about a really small
car up against a semi.

This guy must have had some stones.

Well, they pay these guys to lure well
-insured target vehicles into accidents.

Happens all the time.

They got these fraudulent rings running
24 -7.

Costs up to millions.

Why do you guys pay if you know the
claims are fake?

Cheaper to settle most claims than to
fight them.

I guess so, because you can always send
the cost back to the customer.

I'm not trying to justify it. I just
want to let you guys know how the system

works. Now, the guys at the top, the
lawyers, the doctors who are helping

running these scams... They're making
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year,

too.

And there's almost no risk.

Yeah.

Unless you happen to be one of the guys
who drives the car.

$300, $400.

Ruben, my man.

This must be the car guy.

These are a noble name. I like it. I
like your friend's name.

Sammy, two Guatemalan coolers. You guys
might appreciate a little taste of home.

Actually, I'm Mexican and he's
Ecuadorian.

That's the beauty. This is the nation of
immigrants, my friend.

Step into my office over here. Come on.

Sit down, Caesar.

Top of squat.

Back to crack.

Okay, what color car are you driving?

It's green.

It's green.

Okay, green it is.

You guys are in the green machine, and
over here, a big fat town south grocery

truck.

You with me?

Okay, so it's simple, simple.

You're going along. You're going along.
You're going along. All of a sudden, you

cut in front of them.

He'll back off. You back off. You slow
down.

Mess with them. Piss them off. Wind them
up.

And all of a sudden, you just slam on
your brakes.

Wham!

Whiplash. Dios mio, that hurts.

You pull over. You exchange information.
Then you go out and get breakfast and

wait for my call.

Four -seater, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So you find two more guys. Remember,
more next to my car means more money in

your pockets.

Problem? No, it's okay.

It's okay.

These are my friends.

I've been doing this forever.

Nobody gets hurt, and we get these big
companies, big companies, to share some

of their ill -gotten gains.

Like Robin Hood and his merry men.

Drink up, amigos.

Everything's going to be fine. No
problema.

That's the one, Cal -Cal Grocery.

The big damn truck.

Yeah, big insurance.

All right, here we go.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's good.

Here we go.

Caesar? We're looking for Caesar.

Are you Caesar?

Yeah. Detective Stevens, my partner,
Detective Smith.

Guy named Mack Vosell told us you sold a
car for scrap earlier today.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, well, he owns the wrecking yard
where you buy your parts.

Gave us a couple of receipts with your
signature.

So what?

What happened to your face, Caesar?

Looks like you might have had an
accident.

Ah, ah, ah, come on, Cesar, not a big
deal.

You know we got you.

We have a witness who ID'd the car in an
accident over on Don Castle.

You want to talk to us here or you want
to come down to the station?

Hey, well, you're supposed to be a
fender bender, okay?

But then you just got messed up.

Oh, man.

You're real.

We were going to fill out some papers
for the insurance.

And these guys are going to pay us $400
for this guy.

I don't know his name.

What did this guy say he was going to do
to you if you gave him up?

I don't know.

You don't know if he threatened you?

You just don't get it.

I worked my ass off, and I still don't
make enough.

You know, my kids get sick, I have to
choose between the rent or the doctor.

Cesar, there is a seven -year -old boy
in the hospital right now. And when he

wakes up, he's going to find out that he
doesn't have a mother or father. And

guess what?

That's on you. Yeah, that's on you and
this guy.

What's

his

name?

I don't know his own name.

They just call him Hugo.

Hugo.

What the hell's going on?

The driver messed up, man. He went crazy
and lost control. I think somebody got

killed. We had to get the hell out of
there. Why?

When you came here, why?

Well, I didn't know what you wanted us
to do. I'm sure Sel didn't want you

coming to my house.

Get out of here and get rid of the car.

What do you mean get rid of it? Where?

I don't know.

Your buddy Cesar found this heap. He can
figure out a place to dump it.

What the hell happened to him? Nothing.
He's all right.

Vamos.

That's why I tell you guys to wear
seatbelts.

What about our money?

Get out of here.

Now go!

Boss.

Yeah, we, um, got ourselves a little
problem.

You go.

You go.

I'm Detective Smith.

This is my partner, Detective Steven.

Mind if we sit?

Would it matter if I did?

Not really.

Pretty nice little old joint you got
here, man.

All original, too.

None of that retro crap.

Check this.

Hawaiian spare ribs.

Same recipe since 1962.

I swear, it's like a poem.

A food poem.

What can I do for you?

We want to talk to you about a little
incident.

We heard you had something to do with
that big accident down on Doncaster.

Semi Jack Knight killed a couple of
people.

Yeah, yeah, I saw that on the news.

Yeah, yeah.

Left their little boy in a coma.

Terrible.

It's a tragedy.

Hey, but I didn't have anything to do
with it.

I was in bed asleep when it happened.

Now, there's a plausible scenario.

Man asleep in bed, Jack Knight semi on
Doncaster Boulevard.

Car stopped short in front of the semi
trying to get hit. It's called a

squat. You hired the driver of the car.

You're grasping at straws. We have a
witness.

Witness to what? It never happened.

That's all I'm going to say.

Fine. Let's go.

What?

Well, we've been to your office. Now you
come to ours.

No. No.

No.

No.

Excuse me, sir. Just step back and let
them work.

You the driver here?

Yeah, that's my truck.

Got any ID? Is it true people are dead
in there? I don't know, sir. The

paramedics are working on them now.

You have any ID?

Yeah. Could you remove your eyewear,
please, sir?

Want to tell me how this happened?

Yeah, a guy got pulled out in front of
me.

Damned on his brakes.

I hit mine and rear -ended him.

Trailer fish table.

Sir, I can't help but notice your pupils
are rather dilated for the sunlight

here. Hey, I did not cause it, thanks.
Have you been taking speed?

Oh, come on.

There's a bunch of grass. The guy pulled
out in front of me. I hit his damn car.

That's that.

All right, sir. Let me ask you to step
over here, sir, by the car.

You're going to have to go downtown, and
you're going to have to give a

statement and a blood test.

Just calm down, sir.

Put your hands behind your back.

Good news.

DA's dropping the felony charges.

Still looking at his DUI, but...

You can go home now.

I've got a wife and four kids to
support.

Well, you can't do that in here.

Come on, let's go. Look.

If I drive by the book, my family
starves.

I've got to work double shifts and short
turnarounds just to make ends meet.

That's what the meth was for.

I just can't work those kind of hours
without it. I don't recommend using that

defense in court. Come on, I've got to
sign you out.

My wife's going to walk out.

She's going to take the kid. She's going
to leave.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

What am I going to do?

Well, you're going to do whatever you
got to do.

Look, Sean, you're not the first guy to
ever get his marbles in a vice of

crossing an ethical line. My life is
over. Your life is not over.

Right.

Listen, Sean.

Now, listen to me.

You may have been the victim of a crime.

What are you talking about?

The guy that cut you off.

He forced it to happen.

It was his setup.

Insurance?

Probably.

Come on, let's go.

Did they find these guys?

There's an investigation underway.

Mr. Dornan.

Right, got some papers here for you to
sign.

You got a ride home?

Yeah, yeah, I'll call my wife. She'll
probably come pick me up.

Okay, good. Well, this will enable you
to get your rig out of impact.

Detective Smith?

Leonard Glassman. I represent Hugo
Kingston.

Great. Well, I'll be with you in just a
second there, Mr. Glassman. What is it

with you guys? I mean, you just
suspended the Constitution and the rules

evidence? All right, sir, just wait back
there. You don't have a case. My client

was in bed asleep at the time of the
accident. Right back there, sir. Ah, for

crying out loud. Ray, Ray, Ray, did you
escort Mr. Dornan to the front door?

Come on, Sean.

What was that all about?

He's talking about the guy that sent me
off, isn't he?

Look, Sean, just call your wife.

Go home to your family.

Tell them you love them.

Just start putting this thing behind
you.

Just start making it right, okay?

Are you going to do that?

Yeah, officer.

It's Ray.

The telephone's first left there.

Thanks Ray.

I'd rather stay here if you don't mind.

I just don't want him to wake up alone.

Sure.

How you doing? You alright?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We heard you had something to do with
that big accident down on Doncaster.

my Jack Knight killed a couple of
people.

Yeah, yeah. I saw that on the news.

Left their little boy in a coma.

Terrible.

It's tragic.

Wait a minute. You've got a co
-conspirator who's willing to testify

Pinkston orchestrated the accident,
offered him money to partake in it, told

where the target was and how to dispose
of the car when he's finished.

Am I missing something? We want to
charge the guy now. If you want to kill

snake, you've got to cut off the head.
Yeah, I've heard that before. Look,

pretty convinced that Hugo is the
capper. He hires the talent. He puts on

show. But these scams don't even work
unless you've got crooked lawyers in

medical clinics processing these
insurance claims. Look, guys, I didn't

fall off the turnip truck, okay? I know
it goes to the top, but where's your

case? We looked into Hugo Pinkston's
lawyer, Leonard Glassman.

He does some criminal work, but the bulk
of his cases are accident and personal

injury. That's not a small coincidence.

So what are you saying? That Glassman is
the head of the snake?

Yeah, that's a pretty good possibility.
Yeah, well, that's not good enough. Why?

Because Glassman's going to claim that
he didn't know the insurance cases were

bogus. There isn't a judge in the world
who's going to let you go fishing

through someone's file if you don't have
probable cause. And guess what? We

don't have probable cause.

Bird in the hand, guys.

You want Glassman, go after Hugo and
then flip him.

As soon as we pick Hugo up, Glassman's
going to destroy the evidence.

It's going to be Hugo's word against the
lawyers.

Hugo's going to get a deal and his
lawyers are going to get off on

doubt.

I've said this before.

It's an imperfect world.

That's it.

These guys get off the hook. Sorry about
your parents, kid, but it's an

imperfect world.

Look, Joel. We're not asking you for
that. I appreciate your moral

but if you don't have a case, let it go.

What that BDDA is going to do is give us
a search warrant for this guy Hugo

Pinkston's house. So if we want to get
to his lawyer, we're going to have to

find something there that incriminates
him.

So what do we do? What's the smoking
gun?

I'd look for paper. What kind of paper?

Accident reports, legal retainers,
medical file.

Maybe a ledger. Wait a minute. These
guys keep ledgers?

Sure. They track their cases.

So if we find the ledger, then we
should... Then you've got your smoking

Case closed.

We'll leave you downstairs.

All right. Two minutes.

I feel like doing.

Maybe we can go to Catalina.

Oh, the weekend.

Very ambitious.

Yeah.

Take a little out.

Looks like he's home.

Yep.

Just got to wait on the morning.

How's it going with you and Vicky?

It's going.

You know, I woke up really early this
morning, man. Took a long walk in the

park. You know, it's just one of those
days where you just look at your life

you go, is this my life?

Is this all that there's ever going to
be?

Look up. A couple of hours later, bam!

There's Vicky.

It's like someone answered your
question.

An answer.

Maybe not.

But for the first time in a long time,
at least, I'm open to it.

I mean, I don't know why.

You know, I look at your life sometimes.

You know, and I think, that's how it's
supposed to be. Get yourself a sweet

wife. Have a great kid.

You know, become a part of the whole
chain of being.

Yeah.

Chain of being.

It's poetic.

I guess it ain't all poetry, though,
huh?

Smith.

Okay, thanks.

Got the warrant.

How you doing?

Well, I woke up this morning asking
myself the same question as you.

Did you get an answer?

My boy Willie gave me a hug.

What the hell is that?

and what the hell happened?

He followed Hugo and his lawyer here.

Who got his truck out of impound and
decided to administer some street

What the hell did you do that for? Why
didn't you go home to your family?

We were going to nail the guy.

He had it coming.

You know it.

Get him the hell out of here. Let's go
and watch your head.

Hey, look at this.

Son of a bitch.

He's shot.

Looks like he was dead long before this
truck was out of M -Town.

So strange.

Entry wound right behind the head.

Yeah.

Tap to tap.

As far as we know, his lawyer is the
last person to see him alive.

It wouldn't be too hard to get a third
one.

Oh, beautiful.

The guy could rent an office on the
ground floor.

What does he do when he wants to impress
a client? Take him next door for a corn

dog?

You watch. We're going to be carrying
files up and down those things all day.

What are you, saving for the third
master?

Police, open up.

Please open the door, ma 'am, so we can
talk.

What is it?

There is a search warrant. Go away!

I would love to, ma 'am, but you have my
baton caught in the door.

Get out! I want to see a search warrant.
Ma 'am, open the door, please. No! Get

out! Let me!

Let me!

Let me!

Get out!

Sir, open the door.

Step away from the shredder.

It's destroying evidence.

Step away. I'm complying. I'm complying.

All right, all right, all right, all
right. Hands behind your back.

This is a violation of my civil rights.
I want your name. I want your badge

number. Shut your mouth.

All right, in the car, ma 'am.

Hands to your head.

Ah, detectives. I see you're finding
everything to your satisfaction.

Yeah, nice job, guys.

There's a couple of dumpsters over
there. Might have some shredded papers,

documents. Why don't you guys check it
out?

Maybe it's my history in Vista Heights.
They figure I'm used to wallowing in

garbage. Yeah? Who's in the dumpster?

Just be careful for razor blades, used
needles, radioactive waste, you know,

usual. I got your back.

Hey.

I got something.

Fearless!

Yeah?

What caliber gun was your suspect shot
with?

380.

380.

I think it's been fired.

Too little, we can always throw it back.

Let's tag it back.

Nice job.

Very nice job.

Thank you.

Bobby.

When you told me you were going to take
me someplace special, I was thinking

maybe Pago.

So you've never been here?

No. I think I would have remembered if I
had.

Well, this is living history, because
there aren't that many authentic tiki

left. And that's a bad thing?

Thank you.

I hear the Hawaiian spare ribs are to
die for.

You're kidding, right?

You've never been here.

I thought I saw the bartender give you
one of them looks.

Well, I've been known to turn a few
heads, you know.

Some women are beautiful because God put
them together just right.

And some are beautiful because of what's
on the inside.

Smarts, humor, experience.

Baby, you got it all.

I think you've been listening to a
little bit too much Barry White.

Let's go have a smoke.

I can't find my lighter.

I must have left it on my desk.

You got matches? Yeah.

You said you'd never been here before,
but you had these matches yesterday at

the precinct.

Bobby, I, uh... I...

How

long have you known?

You're a strong woman, Vicki. You
wouldn't spend three years in a dead

So I guess I just figured a way to make
it work for me.

When we came here to question Hugo, I
remembered your matches. Figured he

use someone like you to make this scam
work.

Hmm?

I'm always picking up matchbooks. I
don't even think about it.

That's what I've been saying all along,
that we'd make a great team.

You're the boss.

The boss.

What?

Liam.

Got ourselves a little bit of a problem.

We're the insurance underwriter for
Pacific Roadway. That is one of our

You're here already?

You must be a fast mover.

As soon as a driver calls in the
accident, we're at the scene.

Especially when there are fatalities.

I wasn't working you, Bobby.

My feelings were real.

When I turned around and saw you, I
almost ran.

I'll call you back.

You planted the gun in the dumpster.

You shot Hugo.

No.

I'd like to believe that.

I'm not the kind of guy who rules over
on people.

I am nothing if not loyal. I can't take
that chance, Hugo.

I bought you a ticket to Mexico City.

Mexico City?

Plane leaves in three hours.

I'm taking you to the airport.

Mexico City?

I don't see myself being happy in Mexico
City.

Do you?

You're getting on that plane.

Oh, please.

What movie did you see that in?

Robbie, the company kept bringing in all
these college kids.

Vicky, this is Jeff. He's going to be
your new supervisor.

You mind showing him the ropes?

The message was loud and clear. You are
a Hispanic woman with no college degree.

You ain't going any higher.

I started thinking to myself, if I want
to get somewhere, I got to do it myself.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

And the money was so good.

This was the last time, Bobby.

I swear.

I

really

wish I'd gotten this one wrong.

What are you doing here?

Just taking care of a few things.

I thought you had a date with Vicky.
What are you doing here?

Something I should have shared with you,
partner, but I didn't. It wasn't you.

You sound pretty sure now. What is it?

Vicky's in processing.

She's the head of the snake.

I just don't want him to wake up alone.

I just don't want him to wake up alone.

Are you putting that in your story?

Not if you don't want me to.

It makes me sound like I'm gunning for
sane time.

Everyone will identify.

No one likes to wake up alone.

Are there times I wish I was alone?

Lewis. Little.

About the insurance fraud story.

Listen, I want to hold off until the
kid's back in Indiana.

A couple of days, at least.

Yeah, there's a snowstorm.

I know it's a heartfelt story.

That's why I want to hold off.

Two hours after we run it, the kid's
going to be inundated with flowers and

teddy bears and get -well posters from
local third -grade classes, and I think

what he really needs right now is to be
alone with his family.

Tomorrow.

Sure.

Sorry, I didn't realize what time it
was.

Yeah, go tuck your kids in.

We'll talk in the morning.

Okay. Good night.

Hey, what are you guys doing here?

I came to check up on Jamie and see how
you were.

I'm okay. I'm just having a hard time
keeping my eyes open, that's all.

Listen, if you want to go home, I'm
happy to stay. I'm okay, thanks.

Well, maybe we can all stay.

The company.

That'd be nice.

Bye -bye.
