It's your business. I'm making it my business.

What do you got in here, huh?

What's this?

Oh, some cocaine, huh?

You all right?

Who is this?

It's my father.

Father.

Some influence on this kid, huh?

Come on, get up.

Come on.

He's not going to beat up on you anymore. Put the gun down.

Come on.

Come on.

Don't eat that.

You know what the doctor said about your cholesterol.

Doctor's out here in a little squat.

Car's packed.

Where's Lyle?

He's listening to them tapes again in the den.

Now don't be too hard on the boy. He's just trying to better himself.

That's about it then, darling.

Precious angel.

What'd you do that for?

You just obeyed me, boy.

What did I tell you about buying them more than real estate tapes?

But, Daddy, they got ways to get property with no money down.

How do I?

Get your butt out of the car.

what did you say that boy was?

Couldn't have been more than ten years of age, George.

Oh, my God.

He must have hated his father very much.

No, I just think he got tired of being beaten up.

You see terrible things out there on the street?

See some pretty good things, too, George.

Here.

Eat some eggs, custard cake.

It will make you feel better.

I suppose, George. Thanks very much.

By the way, where's your better half of the city? Lidia.

Home sleeping, where you should be.

But first, finish the cake.

It will put some meat on your bones. Thanks, George.

Another busy night, eh, Malita?

I do well enough, Janusz.

Simple pleasure for a simple man.

Call me Miroff. I'd like us to be in a first name abyss. Okay, Miroff.

Your bill comes to $14 .89.

Nobody moves!

Nobody dies!

Open it.

It's almost too hell of a length. Correct.

I'll take that.

I'm a cop.

You're in the club. So are we.

Metro.

You ought to learn how to drive, pal.

And I'm not your pal.

It's just a term of endearment.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

Not so in his case. That's enough, Sasha.

Commander, I think we ought to be investigating Mirov Janos.

Like there's some kind of connection between him and the perps? He's carrying

gun. I'd like to know why.

A lot of people carry guns, Hunter. Haven't you noticed?

Captain Devane, what are your feelings on this?

I think Hunter's right.

And if it's no problem with him, I'd like to see Homicide and Metro work

together on this one.

Well, I don't have any problems, as long as I'm doing the driving.

Fine.

I've never seen you so quiet, Molenski.

I was just waiting till you got around to me, sir.

It'll be okay with me.

All right, here's the way it'll shake out.

Hunter will coordinate with Metro.

Sachio and Malensky will spearhead through Metro.

Hunter, you'll follow up on Mirok Janusz.

Yes, sir.

Sachio and I will start on the clips immediately, see what we can find out.

It'll be nice working with you, Sergeant Hunter.

Yes, it will, Juan.

Great, it's a love affair.

You're overloading your mouth again, Sachio. Remember who you're talking to.

Yes, sir.

We gotta get that bullet out of you, Leroy.

Give him some more of that homemade.

Maybe we should take him to a doctor.

Doctor's the only one in all hell who's got that bullet in his belly.

Ain't she a beauty?

You go change that bandage. You want to get an infection?

Oh,

what'd you

do that for?

Wait till your brother gets back.

You think Leroy might want some too?

Oh, I... I don't think he's in much of a mood for eating.

Might have to bring him to the farm tomorrow.

Did you ever get the Mello report?

You feel an arctic wind blow through here?

Oh, good. I see you're taking the mature approach to this.

Molenski, line two. Your brother, Stott.

Yeah, we can tell him. I'll call him back.

What's your problem?

You. You're my problem. Why do you always side with them?

Them? As in the proverbial them? Are we talking about a particular them, as in

Hunter? In this particular case, it's Hunter.

Polanski, phone.

Uh, yeah, who?

Your brother, Axel.

Tell him I'll call him back.

What you tried to pull on Hunter was bold.

This is as much his case as it is ours, maybe more so considering he was there

when it went down.

Why are you a Metro cop?

Is this a trick question?

Because Metro cops are supposedly the elite of the LAPD.

That's right, and that's why this should be a Metro case exclusively, because we

are the best.

There's been a homicide, Michael.

That's an elitist.

And that's why you're crazy about me.

Michael? Line three, Malensky.

Uh, yeah, look, if it's one of my brothers, would you just tell him I'll

him back?

It's your father.

All right, you can put them through.

Yeah, I did.

Petra Alexandru?

Yes?

I'm Nikolai Yiannosh.

Oh, God.

My brother never told me how lovely you were.

It all kept much to himself.

Smug man.

I didn't think you could get here so quickly.

Is there any more you can tell me about Mirov's death?

Only what I already told you on the phone.

This Sergeant Hunter?

I will have to see him to get my brother's possessions back.

Yes.

I'm glad we finally got to meet them.

I wish it had been under different circumstances.

Do you have any idea who did this?

No, I don't. Not yet, but we will.

Did you know your brother carried a gun?

He thought America was a very violent place.

Obviously, he was right.

Are you the only one conducting this investigation?

No, there's several other police officers helping with the investigation.

Tell me, when was the last time you saw your brother?

Not since I moved to Mexico City two years ago.

When can I visit my brother's apartment, Sergeant Hunter?

Well, like I said earlier, his apartment's off -limits until the

finished looking through everything.

And his personal effects?

They've been impounded, except for the wallet that was stolen the day he was

killed. I see.

Now, where can I get a hold of you?

I'm staying at the Horton Hotel for a few days.

I will be more than willing to help. Yeah, thanks very much.

Sergeant Hunter.

That was a real strange guy.

What do you mean?

The way he touched his brother's body and all.

Anyway, what do you got?

You were right.

The blood matched.

Great.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Just because there was a match on the two

samples found in the diner, you think they're both from the same family? Yes,

do. A negative is very rare.

How do you know?

He's right. I had an uncle who was A -. Fell off a horse and died because he

couldn't find a donor soon enough.

Of course, he was 87 at the time. And you had to ask.

Let's not forget about those home -loaded shells.

Yeah, what is it? The family that loads together, stays together?

You know, I know you two are both the Metro hotshots. That's okay with me. I'm

just giving you some information.

Use it if you want. Me, I'm going to follow up on Marek Janusz.

See you both later.

Your quest for profits.

You better let them damn tapes again.

Wayne, dear, walk with me.

That's my last tape. Make sure you don't get no more.

My cousin's in a bad

way.

It's not right that he should go on suffering like this.

Son, sometimes everything that's thrown at you in life is not

pleasant.

Some things are just going to be unpleasant.

Ma, Leroy's my friend.

I know he is.

That's how I know you'll do the right thing.

No, no.

So I checked with R &I. The computer didn't kick out anything on these home

loans.

Not one M .O. matches from another state.

Then I checked with Hunter about this Mirov Yanosh.

Turns out the guy's a phantom.

Nobody even knows how he got in the country.

Papers are illegal.

His bank accounts don't exist.

If they do, they're under an assumed name.

I wonder what it's like to go through life with a name like Mirov.

That's funny. I always wondered what it'd be like to go through life with a

like Satchio.

You should talk, Malinsky.

I bet you had to listen to every bad Polish joke ever made.

And then some.

You know, I bet you Hunter digs up something on this Mirov Janos guy.

Yeah, I wish him a lot of luck.

What's the deal?

Hunter's a good cop.

What have you got against him?

I don't have anything against the guy. You're so full of it, Michael.

I love it when you talk dirty.

What's going on with this, Joanne?

What do you mean?

Well, one minute we're together and everything's fine, and then the next

know you're saying things like, not tonight. I mean, there's just too much

and forth going on here.

I know.

It's confusing for me, too.

I feel like your eggs scrambled in the morning.

Petra Alexandru?

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

I'd like to have a word with you, please.

What do you want?

I'd like to talk to you about Mirov and Janos.

Mirov was a friend, that's all.

Been a couple nights at the apartment.

Look, Petra, the building manager recognized you.

This is not a crime.

No, it's not.

Then why are you doing this?

I'd like to know why you didn't claim Mirov's body.

When I was a child, my father was executed by a firing squad.

The secret police, the security, they forced my mother and me

to watch.

After that, I...

Stay away from the police as much as possible.

Old fears die hard.

I see.

So you called Mirov's brother, Nikola?

Yes, but I hardly know him. We only spoke on the phone.

Now, Petra, Mirov was bringing large sums of money into this country

His money.

He didn't know who his connections were.

Petra. We're here on a green card. You're a guest of this country.

Let's take a little ride down to the immigration department, shall we?

I can't believe you would do this.

Yeah, I know.

How did it buckle up?

Branko.

Ilya Branko.

We all had a business dealing with him.

It had to do with money.

Black market money.

You hear, Brankus?

Drop the gun, Brankus! Police!

I never saw you run so fast.

How about you?

Yeah, but I caught him.

After I tackled him. Ah, him, you tackled me.

So,

Charlie, what's cooking on that brain of yours?

Well, I hear through the grapevine that there's a slot for a captain opening

down in Metro.

That's right, Joe Doyle's taking early retirement.

You got an itch you're looking to scratch, Charlie, or are you just

waters here?

Well... It's something I've been thinking about for a long time, Tom.

You sure, huh?

Well, a year ago, the alarm would go off. I'd be up now with a bit in my

like a racehorse.

Now it rings, I just lie there.

Maybe you're not sleeping so good.

No, I'm not.

And you know the reason why. Yeah.

Look, Charlie, if you're really interested, you'd be right up there with

three contenders.

Just one thing.

You've got to keep it between us.

You're in here someplace.

You know, I've been thinking.

I love when you do that.

Here they are.

Maybe it's time we went public.

Excuse me.

Hello. Have we met?

I thought we talked about this.

Yeah, yeah, I know. You said you weren't ready.

Right. Well, maybe I want to go public.

Michael, I care about you. I do.

I just can't handle this right now.

I really can't.

Lost you?

Malinsky? Sergeant Hunter. What's happening?

Hunter, I thought you'd be out chasing Romanians by now.

Well, I was until one of them flew off the roof with $400 ,000.

Really? You got a name?

Yeah, Ilya Brankus.

So what's the connection in our case?

Well, I think Brankus might have been Janos' money connection from Romania.

You still think these cases tie in, don't you? Sure do.

Well, they don't. This crazy family just wanted the money.

Oh, so you think it's a family now, huh? It's a possibility.

It's pretty ripe, too.

Nothing like a dead Havana to cut through the inch.

Smoke on her?

No, thanks very much.

One round to the head.

That's what killed her.

What about the gut wound?

Oh, you'll find that at the 9mm police issue.

You see, this is the guy I shot robbing the diners, not you.

Yeah.

Starting to come together for you now?

You just keep hunting Romeo and Summer.

Don't worry about him. His hormones must be out of whack to me.

Hormones, huh?

Interesting, isn't it?

It's amazing what you can create with a brush and some tape.

How did you find me?

It's not very difficult to find someone when you really want to.

Take Sergeant Hunter, for instance.

Look how ingeniously he found you.

What did he want to know?

Things about your brother.

Such as?

If he worked in the black market?

Americans don't understand that all Romanians deal in the black market.

You do what you have to to make life livable.

Don't you agree?

What did he ask about me?

Where you were staying, but I told him nothing.

I believe you, Petra.

Ah, fantastic.

Don't you think?

That's what I love about black and white.

It's pristine starkness.

There is an honesty about it.

When did you first realize what security was?

Was it when you first saw me, or did it take longer than that?

When I first saw you, I recognized your eyes.

If I wanted something to happen to you, it would have happened already.

Just don't ever lie to me.

Having a high rank in the secret police had its privileges.

One of them was that beautiful women tend to remember you.

Nikolai, what do you want from me?

My brother had a wallet.

A very beautiful one. I always wonder where he got it.

Presidential Sesko gave it to me.

I gave it to Miro for safekeeping when he came to this country.

The wallet was stolen by his killer.

Very valuable in it.

I still don't understand why you need me.

You have an understanding with my brother.

I may need your services while I'm here.

My services don't come cheap.

You and I will have the same understanding.

So the bullet was definitely Hunter's?

Yeah, give me the guy's name.

Leroy Baines.

What about Pryor's?

Good. You got an address?

Thanks, pal. I'll talk to you.

Baines, have you seen Lawrence get around? She said something about going

a Sergeant Hunter.

Well, you see her, tell her I'm checking out a tip.

Yeah. I'm Officer Saccio, LAPD, Metro Division.

What can I do for you, officer?

Does a Leroy Baines live here?

Well, no. He hasn't lived here in some time.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Okay.

Yeah, right. Go ahead. I'm ready.

All right.

That's good. Malinsky, let's go.

Got a liquor store. Same M .O .s before.

Hunter, Sacho just got... Forget about Sacho. No, listen a minute. I just found

out he got a positive ID on that corpse from yesterday. Turns out the slugs

definitely came from your gun. And he got an address on the DB from his parole

officer.

Wait a minute. You think Sacho would be that dumb to go out there by himself?

Come on.

Let's go.

You sure you don't want some?

Positive. You have no idea where Leroy Baines is.

No. He left here at least.

Two months ago.

But his parole officer gave this as his home address.

Oh, I didn't even know the boy had a parole officer.

Where's your husband, Mrs. Pender?

Out.

Hey, hey, I asked you where.

Didn't you hear her?

She's out.

But for good luck.

Step up, boys.

Time for your allowance.

Whoo! Man, that's a good house.

We can sure get us a nice piece of property with all the bread we made last

months.

Hey,

how come Dwayne's got 50 bucks more than me? Because he doesn't say stupid

things.

Come on, we gotta get home. The mall's gonna start to worry.

I don't see any sign of Satio.

Why don't you hit the front and I'll go around to the back, huh?

That guy got from the diner? Yeah.

Well, let's take him. Don't be an idiot.

I ain't about to shoot a bone home.

Your mom's had lots of cops.

Find out.

Anybody home?

I don't think anybody's here.

Probably out at their decorator.

Yep.

Police!

Looks like someone did a job on her hand with the candle. She's been tortured.

Michael. Yeah.

Look upstairs. I'll finish you out down here.

Oh my god.
