All language subtitles for Martial Law s01e09 how sammo got his groove back

Tell him one, tell him two.

Say what?

Say what?

Say what?

Say what?

Yeah, my niece is not sober, this guy,
Sammo. But I tell you what, if I can get

Zeke to autograph the CD, I'll be your
favorite uncle forever and ever.

Where's Terrell, man? This guy said he
was going to hook me up.

Who's Terrell?

Terrell? He's the LAPD press spokesman,
the guy who puts his content together

every year.

And he's Zeke's uncle.

You know what, Samo? I'm going to go
wait in the wing. See if I can get this

coming off stage, all right? Get an
autograph. Okay.

Did you bring the spring roll?

I'm listening to the music. I knew if I
didn't talk to you directly, this thing

would get all messed up. And in the
meantime, do you realize we can't get

press trucks off the street because the
catering truck is in the way?

What would you like me to do?

I'd like you to move the truck.

Okay. Do you have the keys?

What is it, Beth with Terrell? They
first should pick up the spring rolls.

by the way, they are my favorite. And
you could have put out a pre -sign

spray it or something. But not that.

I've been busting my hump and I can't
even get a snack, man.

Would you like a tingy?

it's clear

speak to my life.

You aren't the keener, are you?

Yeah, my sister's in with him now. He
just got out of surgery.

Tell him my nephew's in serious but
stable condition and stretched stable.

Also, dropping into LAPD is going to
come down on those responsible like

Thor, the Norse god of thunder.

Don't want the big hammer, man. I want
to see your SAT scores.

Look, I got to go before you beat the
rest of the life out of my statement.

Hey, man.

What are you doing?

You all arrest anybody yet?

No, we're working on it, man.

We want you to talk to C's mother.

I'll talk to him, Terrell. I'm not doing
Zeke any good sitting in there.

Hi, I'm Linda Meadows. How are you?

Detective Malone. This is Detective Law.
Hi. Nice to meet you.

We're sorry about your son.

Thank you. Now, Miss Meadows, is there
anyone you can think of that would want

to harm your son?

The only person who really had a problem
with Zeke was his booking agent, Andre

Pittman. Zeke fired him about a month
ago.

I was a CPA before I joined LAPD. I
checked Zeke's financial records.

Pittman was skimming.

Skimming? He was taking a backhoe to my
man's profits.

Where can we find him?

You don't know. He's vanished.

Oh, excuse me. There's the doctor.

Samuel, Lewis, I want to help you guys.

Right now, your family needs your help.

Don't worry about a thing, Terrell.
We're working on it, all right?

Come on, Samuel. Give me one minute.

I want to thank you for saving my life.

Don't sweat it, Damo. You're lucky I got
lightning -fast reflexes from getting

beat up all those years in kindergarten.

How many years were you in kindergarten?

Oh, I don't know how it is in China, but
here kindergarten lasts two years.

I'm in your debt.

I must return the favor.

All right, Aladdin.

If I ever need some kung fu lessons or
feng shui advice, I'll give you a call.

Samuel, I got an idea on this dead guy.
Isaiah Tatum, member of the 89th Street

Gang. This guy was a known trigger man,
right? Someone definitely hired these

guys to take out Zeke.

Maybe a pitman. Maybe. I got some music
contacts. Somebody's got to know where

Pitman's held up.

Hey, Grace, how's the missing persons
case?

Who's missing?

Rainbow Sally.

Right here, Samuel.

Who was still such an ugly dog?

Tell me about it. See, it's a cuddle
bug. It's the rage right now, Sammo.

You know, the three stores that carried
the rare editions have all been robbed.

But what I'm trying to figure out is why
Winship keeps bugging me every five

minutes for an update.

Grace, you got an update?

No, not yet. I'm still working my
sources.

Yeah, the Muppets are all lawyered up,
Lieutenant.

Anybody got an update on Zeke Meadows?

I do.

They took him off the critical list.
He's doing much better now.

Terrell. Yeah, it's been... Three years.
Your sister -in -law's birthday.

You spent the whole night trying to
avoid me. Give me some love, doll.

Good to see you, man.

What's up, bro?

Look, I'm really sorry about what
happened to your nephew.

We're doing everything we can.

Good, good.

Count me in.

See, I've been thinking about this. I'm
sick of hanging around hospitals and

Parkerson and dishing out soundbites. I
want to be on the street with you guys.

Could you excuse us for a second?

What's up, bro?

Look, I sympathize with your situation,
but trust me, I got the best people

working in this case.

I'm sure you do, Ben, but this is
personal for me, man. And last time I

my badge looked just like yours.

Terrell, you just don't have the field
experience. I'm not putting you out on

the streets.

Ben, I was born out on these streets,
man.

You think just because I got an office
two doors down from the chief, I don't

still have this town wired?

Plus... Who do you think's going to hook
you up quickest, me or our job?

Don't worry about Samuel. He can take
care of himself.

Did Samuel happen to mention that I
saved his life?

Look, Terrell, I'm only going to say
this to you one time.

You're not working this case.

Samuel, you

know that favor you owe me? I'm ready to
cash in now.

No. What do you mean, no? You haven't
even heard the favor.

I know what it is, but I must respect
the lieutenant's wishes.

Well, how about my wishes is my favor?

No, it is my favor, and I will repay it
when I'm ready.

Look, Samuel, I don't know how favors
work in China, but here it's like a

Barney's store crib. You go in, you
choose the suit you want. They don't

you what suit to take.

Too bad.

Too bad?

Too bad.

Fine. Don't sweat it.

I'll handle it myself.

Terrell.

Terrell Parker, is that you?

Hallie, the light of my life. Come here,
girl. Give me a squeeze.

I saw you on television talking about
Zeke. I felt so bad.

I was going to call you.

Don't hang, honey me. I want a Rainbow
Sally update.

Don't worry. We're all over it.

Maddie's birthday is Saturday.

Don't worry, sweetie. I promise you that
Maddie will have a cuddle bug.

God help you if she doesn't, because you
will have two very unhappy women to

deal with.

Hey, Hallie?

Can I walk you to your car?

Very nice of you.

Bye, honey.

What, you working out or something? You
look good.

All right, so the story doesn't get all
twisted around the police grapevine.

They dated six months, three years
before Mrs. Winship and I got married.

the last I'm ever talking about it,
never again. You got it?

You got it? Got it.

All right, where were we?

We're checking out all the contacts on
this Pittman guy here.

Good.

Until something else comes in, Lewis, my
friend.

I don't like the sound of this. Yeah,
well, I'm going to need your help. I

really don't like where this is going.
I'm now putting you on rainbow Sally

patrol.

Thank you.

Welcome to Cuddle Bug Pass.

Yo, everybody, take a break. Take ten.

How's my record coming, Andre?

Oh, smooth, Floyd, yeah. I mean, real
smooth.

I meant timetable.

Uh, I just need, uh... I just need a
couple more days later on the music,

You got till tomorrow.

It's not possible.

What'd you say to me?

Look, it's not impossible, but... No,
but nothing!

Now, Isaiah didn't kill the kid, and I
ain't stupid enough to try to do it

again.

I want to take advantage of the hype
while it lasts.

Do you have any idea what this is going
to do to sales?

I want my bootleg on the street by
Friday.

Oh, you got the one loaded, man.

That's right, man.

I see you play around town all the

time.

We play gay music.

How come I don't hear you on the radio?

We don't have a record deal, see? No
record, no radio.

Oh, oh, that is a crime. You, Shabba,
get in the truck and call the police.

is a crime. You need a booking agent.

We already have a booking agent, see?
But who is he? He cannot get you a job.

Andre Pittman.

Pittman, Pittman, Pittman, Pittman,
Pittman, Pittman, Pittman.

Where is this Pittman? He is an
accessory to this crime.

Why you want to know so much about it,
man? And why you come to me with this

fake accent?

Fake accent?

Fake accent?

Man, I was born in Montego Bay.

Mama, don't you laugh in my face, man.
My mama sing background for Pop Marley.

Oh, your mama was on I -3?

Yes, she was I -2.

What's your name, buddy boy?

What's your name?

What's your name?

She didn't... Ah!

Okay, look, look, my name is Terrell,
man. Wait, listen, listen.

Pittman did something really bad to
somebody close to me. Why don't I just

a brother out? I gotta find him.

Gladly, man.

Pittman is a bum buckler, Kenny -o.

Hasn't paid us in months.

Look, first, he must have been wrong,
and then go up the hill. We didn't go up

the hill and see a sub -side and go
around himself.

And then when he turned the depth, he
didn't go up the hill and see Irvine

Street and make a right, and then go all
the way down to...

Can you write this down? Do you have a
pen?

Why are we here at 7 in the morning?

I found Pittman, but he's got his whole
posse with him, so I need some backup.

You're not supposed to be working on
this case.

If Pittman is in here, I will go get
him. Oh, no. I don't know how backup

in China, but I found Pittman, okay? And
in L .A., possession is nine -tenths of

the law.

Fine. Okay.

We got to figure out what we're dealing
with in here.

There are at least five men inside.

Maybe more.

But you got x -ray vision you see
through walls or something? How do you

that?

Three cars there, seven cigarette butts
in here, two cigar butts in here. So?

Fine.

Get down, Sherlock. See, you got to
teach me stuff like that one day.

Yeah, one day.

I will go around back.

We'll wait here.

If everything is clear, I will come and
get you.

Bet.

Where's the bet?

The figure of speech.

Like you hit my fist like this. It's
like, give me five, give me a pound,

me some dat.

Bet.

Now you got it. I'll be right here, man.

The bet that I'm going is that. That's a
bet, huh?

Hey,

this here's a closed session. Now you're
going to have to leave. I'm a limo

driver, man. I'm looking for Celine
Dion.

Bonjour.

Buenas tardes.

Celine, I've been out here blowing the
limo horn, knocking on the door for

an hour and a half.

Can't you hear?

No. You see, this place is soundproof.

Well, I'm sorry, big man. I didn't mean
to scream at you and everything, but y

'all messing with my money. See, I got
to be at the airport an hour, and Master

P got paid for it. He be tipping. He
just be throwing hip all over the place.

What's your name, bro?

Roger.

Hi, Roger. Let me ask you another
question.

Have you seen a heavyset Chinese man
look like a caterer?

Drop the gun.

Yo, drop it. I will kill you.

Not before I kill Roger.

And little Roger, too.

You better talk to him, man.

And be quick about it.

Oh, there's Celine.

That's all I know, really.

This one is Pittman, huh?

That's the one.

Booking Samuel.

Then Samuel comes in, and he, like,
super flies the guys while I take down

Pittman.

How much of this is actually true?

All of it.

Except I took down Pittman, too.

Be that as it may, Ben, we make a good
team. I mean...

We're like Crockett and Tubbs on Miami
Vice, if Crockett was Chinese and Tubbs

was a better dresser.

Yeah.

Well, thanks for the assistance, Tara.
We'll take it from here.

Whoa, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

I mean, technically, Pittman's my
collar. You wouldn't have Jack if I

rousted the last emperor out of his bed.
Plus, he wants me as his partner, don't

you, Sammo?

Yes.

You do?

He knows the boy.

He also knows the neighborhood.

Say hood is much cooler. Hood.

And he's right, I do.

And you'll take full responsibility for
him?

He can't help.

I think that's yes in Chinese, Ben.

All right.

I'll allow it under one condition. I
don't want to see him.

Oh, you won't.

You will not see me. I'll be standing in
Samo's shadow. Look, look. You don't

even see me. I'm not even here.

that we are charter members of the
CBMAA.

The what?

The Cuddlebug Mothers Association of
America, Los Angeles branch, and as the

president, I am demanding to know what
you people are doing about recovering

those stolen sallies.

Ma 'am, believe me, we are doing
everything in our power to track them

Just what am I supposed to tell my
daughter? We have been on the waiting

for Rainbow Sally.

For exactly six months.

Do you want me to show you what I have
for her instead?

That's right.

Now, what do you think about that?

All right, sweetheart.

You made her cry.

Now, I want you to think about that.

I just want you to think about that.

I want rainbow salad.

Rainbow salad.

We want rainbow salad.

Rainbow salad!

We'll go in there and we'll do the old
good cop, bad cop routine. I'll be the

bad cop.

No. You'll be a good cop.

I don't want to be the good cop. I want
to be the bad cop.

No, I can't be better a bad cop than
you.

Okay, fine, Sammo.

I'll go in. I'll be the good cop. I'll
butter him up, and when he drops his

defenses, I'll signal you, and you jump
all over.

How will you signal me?

Um, oh, I'll take my coffee cup, and
when it hits the table, that'll be the

signal, and you bad cop all over his
ass.

So, Trey, can I get something to drink,
man?

Coffee, tea, cold beverage?

No. No, thanks.

What's his problem?

Oh, see, Thamo knows that we can't go to
lunch until we finish this

interrogation.

So why don't you tell me, Dre, who shot
a nice kid like Zeke?

I didn't have anything to do with that.

Oh, so you just happened to be making a
bootlegging boot?

Zeke gets pumped.

I didn't shoot him!

You know what's going to surprise you,
Dre?

I believe you.

You know why I believe you, Dre?

Because you're too damn stupid to be in
this all by yourself.

Who's behind the curtain pulling the
strings? I can't say!

You can't say?

Well, that's too bad, Dre.

We're going to be here a while.

Do you have any idea what happens to me
if I talk? Any idea?

Floyd Cross. He did it. It was Floyd.

He gave up Floyd Cross. We got a good
thing going here, except you jumped the

gun. I didn't give you the signal. Turn
right up here.

Who is the Floyd Cross? Floyd Cross is
like Al Capone here in L .A.

Pull up on the right, Doc.

So he hired the shooters?

That's what I'm thinking. I mean, LAPD's
been trying to put a tag on him for

years, but he slides off cops like Pam.

Who is Pam?

Pam of the Grease thing.

She's from Grease?

No, no, Pam is Grease.

What are we doing here?

It's a little personal something, son.

Back the package.

Yo, you got the knots on?

Money ain't no thing.

Rainbow Sally.

The only one in L .A.

You play with dolls?

No. See, I got this for Winship. I feel
if I help him out, maybe he'll let me

stay with the unit full time.

You dated his wife.

Don't count on it.

There's Freud.

Let me do the talking.

Oh, good idea, Samuel. Plenty of
strength.

Floyd Cross, my man, how you doing,
bruh?

Hey, hey, what's up with all the
prospect?

Terrell Parker, I'm a friend of
Pittman's, man. We met at a Prince

You told me if I ever wanted to get in
the bootleg CD business, swing by.

I don't know Andre Pittman yet. You do,
Floyd.

He told me you bankrolled that bootleg
CD on that kid B.

You even tried to shoot him and kill
him, Floyd, just to boost sales, didn't

you, Floyd?

Man, get this fool out of my face.

LAPD.

So y 'all the cops, huh?

Tell you what.

You want to arrest me?

Slap on the cuffs.

Otherwise, step aside and let me pass.

You're very short in your face.

Oh, listen to this.

Oh, man, I wish we were near a TV. I
love watching these things. This is

actually one of the best things about
living in L .A.

This guy's going to jump out and run.
Watch.

$100 bet.

See what I'm telling you? See how stupid
criminals are here?

Don't you know you can't outrun the
cops?

if you keep that.

Sure.

Uh, Gerard, I told you to... Sammo,
would you do something, please?

Are you okay?

What was that?

You almost put me through the
windshield. If you're going to do

like that, Sammo, you got to give a
brother a signal.

I winked.

You told me to do something.

I'm driving next to you.

Look,

before she says a word, I want some kind
of immunity.

Or protection.

Or something.

I mean, we know the culprit very, very
well. And she's not your suspect.

This could make Carpool very awkward.

We'll do our best.

So, what do you know?

Samantha, sweetheart.

Tell the night's cops what you know.

Well, I was having a play date with
Alexander.

That would be Carranza.

That is Elaine Carranza's daughter.

She's the head of the Cuddlebug Group.

And that's where I saw them.

Okay, honey, um, what did you see?

Go ahead.

The missing rainbow sallies.

We were playing hide -and -seek, and I
was going to hide in the spare bedroom.

It was supposed to be locked, but it
wasn't.

So I went in, and there they are.

Leave us.

Yo, Floyd, thanks for bailing me out,
man.

Law friends you got, Pittman.

See how relaxed I am?

Even though you sent the LAPD to see me.

I didn't send the cops to see you,
Floyd. I didn't say anything.

That really hurts me, man.

I didn't say anything, yo, Floyd, man.
It's okay.

It's all good, baby.

You and me, we're good. You really got
some brass ones, don't you?

I guess they ain't so brass after all.

I can still produce the bootlegs, Floyd.

The hell is that?

Cops took all your deck copies, didn't
they?

Yeah, but I can get Zeke's originals. I
know where they are.

Good answer.

I made some calls for us. Remember the
benefit we did with MTV about a month

ago? I called our friend George at MTV,
right? George hooked me up with this guy

named MC Toasty.

Toasty knows a lot about the bootleg
biz. And he went to high school at

with my cousin Winston, okay? So because
he know Winston, he gave me the hookup.

Listen to this.

There's a guy who's the king of the
bootleg business named Leon Taylor, a .k

Skunk. He does all the distribution and
handles everything for Floyd Cross.

But you probably know all this from
Samuel.

No. I am shocked. Look, I took the
liberty of pulling Skunk's sheet.

He runs an exotic car dealership on
Wilshire.

If we get Skunk, he gives us Floyd.

Yes! That's not too bad.

Hey, Ben, I'm just trying to be helpful,
man. Any little tiny thing I can do. We

need to set Skunk up. Yeah, but we gotta
find somebody that don't look like a

cop. You know, somebody that won't
suspect.

Got any ideas?

How's that earpiece working? Did you
hear it?

Yes.

Good.

Rock and roll, sir.

It ties real fly.

No, no, no. I have to get these things
unloaded before Friday, okay?

So? So make it happen.

I can't talk right now, okay? Okay. All
right. Later.

Hello. How are you?

Good to see you. Hey, you interested in
this Corvette?

It's beautiful. It's a classic. Come on,
hop in. Let me show you.

And... Oh.

Oh. Huh?

Huh? What do you think?

Not very roomy.

Hey, Ben. I mean, you know Hallie and I
dated, but it really wasn't a big deal.

Yeah. Yeah, I know that, Terrell.

She's a nice girl and everything, but I
really wasn't into it. It wasn't like

she had me screaming out her name in my
sleep and everything.

Forget I said that. I'm sorry.

Well, you don't have to explain anything
to me.

I mean, she's a nice girl. You're a
lucky man, bro. I know that.

She's one of the best... cooks I've ever
known.

Samuel, how you doing in there?

How about the 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne
409?

I'm not here for a car.

I'm here for CDs.

I want you to press, put like CDs.

For me to sell in Taiwan.

Uh, I'm not sure that I can help you
with that.

Maybe I wrote it down wrong.

It says to talk to skunk.

Well, if that's what it says, I'm skunk.

Good.

Give me some dap.

Dap?

My dog, I taught him that.

So, what kind of music are you selling?
Huh? What kind of music are you selling?

What kind of music am I selling?

All hot artists.

All hot artists?

Like who?

Busybone, Corrupt, Cannabis, Busta
Rhymes.

Busybody, Corrupt, Cannabis, and Busta
Rhymes.

Why did you have to say all that? He
could have been a Taiwanese guy pressing

CDs. Oh, I forgot my Taiwanese list of
pop artists, Ben.

Where'd you say you were from?

Hmm? Where'd you say you were from?

LAPD.

Ooh.

Long time no see.

What the hell are you doing here?

Well, I came to pick something up.

You see, when your son terminated my
services, he forgot to give me my

severance.

Oh, you greedy bastard.

You've already stolen hundreds of
thousands of dollars from me. Now you

nerve to come into my home?

That is pretty brave talk, Lynn.

Get out.

Get out of my house!

Not without the tapes.

No!

You gotta have the masters, Lynn.

You okay?

Kidman took all of the mixed recordings.

Listen.

It's over now. You're going to be okay.

Go. Go.

All right, give it to me, Lou.

That's the home of our cuddle bug
suspect.

Came to make the arrest, but she
wouldn't open the door.

Brace yourself, Lieutenant.

She's holed up inside, threatening to
destroy all the cuddle bugs. What?

No, no, no, no, no, no. She can't do
that.

I want to talk to her. Yeah, yeah, we've
got her on the phone. We've tried

everything. Let him try, but she's
personal.

Hello, Elaine.

This is Lieutenant Benjamin Winship.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Elaine.

Elaine, I know what you're going
through. I do.

Nobody understands.

Elaine, look, I am not here to speak to
you today as a police officer, but as a

parent, from one parent to another.

I understand the pressures, Elaine.

The cuddle bugs, the newest sneakers,
the latest video game, just because some

kid down the street has got one.

Just when you think you finally made
them happy, there's always something

to believe.

I know.

I've been there, Elaine. I know you
don't think I have been, but I have been

there. I've been to Toys R Us with my
kids kicking and screaming, collapsed in

the aisle because they wanted me to
spend $86 .50 for a water gun.

Great job, Kenny.

Great job.

Yeah, thanks.

I wonder what the status of those cuddle
bugs are.

You know the status of the cuddle bugs.
They're evidence in the case.

Yeah? They're going to be holed up in
court for at least six months.

Easy.

Even rainbows sell?

Even rainbows sell.

What? Here's to the new record. Oh,
yeah, okay. Cheers to that.

So what's the set?

On these?

Oh, man.

Yo, 500 ,000 units, yo, all in Suck
Factory, all ready for delivery, dog.

what I'm talking about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who's this?

No, no, let her do, let her do.

Hi. You, uh, here to join us?

I can't.

But I, uh, do have a present for you.

I guess you could say it's from your
friend Skunk. He said I'd find you here.

What's this?

Award for your arrest for various
shooting, attempted murder, and piracy.

No,

you tripped it.

Excuse me, bruh.

Yo, play of the party's over.

Hell no, it ain't going down like that.

I had a suit back to the Temptations by
midnight.

Paging you, wishing you'd come over my
place. Oh, my God. Tell

me I'm not dreaming.

Let me know.

We can just get.

in a case, Hallie.

Evidence. Look, I could get any other
cuddle bug in the world, any other one,

but why does it have to be a rainbow
Sally?

Talk to me. How much?

$500.

Man, I'm a public servant. I ain't got
no $500 for rainbow Sally. Man, come on,

cut me some slack.

If I had Super Bowl tickets, I would
trade for Super Bowl tickets. I ain't

Super Bowl tickets, okay?

Let me call you back, dog.

Made in China.

You did this for me?

Now we are even.

Come give me some darts, Ammo.

I wanted you to press the button.

You like that?

Apparently a Twinkie in China.

And that's it.

You said it once, you should have said
it again.

And I say, I will do the talking.

Hey, I don't speak Chinese.
