Tonight, on the Sentinel, three acts dead at the club, four bikers here, I

they've upped the ante.

Do you have any idea how crazy Kenji is?

He walks on the edge of a razor and I am right there with him.

He was breathing when he walked in there, and now he's dead.

There's gonna be blood to this.

Why do you always go after these unobtainable women who are just lying in

to break your heart?

Shoot my brother!

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Fencing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman.

In the war against crime.

Long about Saturday night.

We're on the top, top, this is the top.

Thinking everything's alright.

What a step at the top, put my feet on the floor.

What's about you having a partner?

I thought you worked solo.

The captain here is trying to keep me on a short leash.

This is an offer from Mike Hurley to the gang. He's probably the main reason why

the Bloods and Crips have been kept out of camp.

That's funny. I thought it was because they couldn't get the Lakers on cable.

Larry Sanbury is working with the department.

Mike here is old school.

Only one in the gang unit who still wears his blues, huh?

You've got to set an example to keep the young ones in line.

Hey, Mike, what are you still doing on the floor? I figured you'd be up in your

mountain retreat fishing for bass.

Come on, my 30 years, it's time to go.

I'm going to die with my boots on. They think maybe a bike will get shot.

Really

super

sports. We had multiple rounds fired, but only three were hit.

The shooter definitely knew his target. You have that tape ready from the

surveillance camera?

That's a Harley Electra glide.

Original shovelhead.

It's a 79 or 80.

It's Race Peter's bike. Who? Race Peter's. He's a bottom Peter. He rides

the void. And the void would be?

Jackasses on bikes in black leather. They run meth labs and worship the ghost

Sid Vicious.

So what was Peter's doing here?

Probably rousing the competition.

Let me see this body for a second.

Missing digit on the left hand.

What do we have here?

Now, isn't that nice?

See these tattoos?

Cancel your lunch plans, gentlemen. It's going to be a long day.

What is it?

It's Yakuza.

Briefing package from customs.

The Yaks moved into Hawaii about ten years ago, running D -joints and

rackets on Oahu.

Now they own half of Waikiki, and the feds say that they're moving east like a

bullet train.

The tattoos are a Yakuza trademark.

What's with the missing pinky? It's called Yubitsume.

When the Yakuza soldier disgraces his boss, or Oyabun as they call him, he has

to offer a piece of himself in return as tribute.

Oh, I like that.

Take a note of that, Sanborn?

Duly noted.

How are they making their money here?

Gambling, white slavery, and they make a fortune in pouring methamphetamine to

Japan. They call it the awakening drug.

Well, there's the connection.

The biker gangs have been moving speed here since the 50s.

So you're saying the Yakuza are trying some sort of Japanese takeover of the

crank business?

Well, if they are and they start a gang war, this whole city's going to go up.

Captain, there's been a report of shots fired at First and Water.

First and Water? There's a place down there where the boys fix their rides.

Move.

Three acts dead at the club, and four bikers sheer.

Looks like they've upped the ante.

Mike, any of these guys raise Peters?

No, but it doesn't matter anymore. Now the void will have to strike back.

There's going to be blood in the streets.

How do we handle it?

Like they do in the Mideast.

We call a summit before this thing breaks out into open war.

What no cavity search

Right over here.

Alright. There's no smoke in here. Put it out.

You better have a permit for that.

These men are all fully licensed to carry concealed.

They're part of Mr. Kadama's executive security detail.

The .45 is his own.

And what are you carrying?

Just this.

Akiko Keno, chief counsel of the Kadama Corps of North America. All right, all

right. Let's get down to it.

Tell the guy, Jim Higg, I paid four million. That's U .S. in taxes last

Oh, man. And if he thinks he can send his piece of dreck into my club to get

well, he's wrong.

That's a lie.

You whacked your own and made it look like we did it.

For what reason?

Sounds to me like he wants a war.

So what you're saying is I killed my own men.

That's exactly what I'm saying, Mr. Moto.

Hey,

guys, settle down. Just back off, both of you.

Now, we can conduct this here in an orderly fashion or we can take it

into a holding cell.

Now, what's it going to be? It's your choice.

Sit down.

Kenji -san.

Now just consider what happens if you go to war.

Kadamacorp has extensive real estate holdings in the middle of Tokyo.

A big stake in downtown.

There's tourism.

Recreation. Is that what you call those grind joints?

On the other side, the Void had certain volatile labs.

They would truly be sensitive targets if the violence continues.

Wait a minute, lady. We did not call this meeting so you could divide up the

meth market.

As of this moment right now, you are all out of the speed business.

Anybody crosses that line and you're all going down.

Sounds non -negotiable, gentlemen.

What about it?

Uh, excuse me. Um, just where do you get off telling us how to, uh, run things?

Shut up!

Now, the only reason any of you are sitting at this table right now is

don't have enough evidence to run your asses in.

Yet!

Kenji.

Okay.

What about you, Hessman?

We're waiting.

Just don't bring her along to the next meet.

She'll be after the pink slip on my bike.

Let's go.

I want this situation taken care of immediately.

Don't waste any time on it. Okay. Just get it.

Good to meet you, detective.

You don't approve of me, do you?

I was just wondering why a good lawyer with a lot of clients to choose from

would work with Kenji Kadama.

Legal system says everyone's entitled to legal counsel.

You didn't answer my question.

You're right.

I didn't.

Hockey call.

You better make this work.

Yeah, well, we'll see.

Thanks.

What is it?

Rory, what is it?

Rory, what is it?

Rory!

All right, get back. No!

What's going on? Is he having a heart attack? Keep his passageways open. Just

hold his head like that, okay? Okay. I'll get a medical kit. Let's get a

paramedic over here. Right.

He's dead? No!

Rory!

Rory!

Rory!

I told him not to do this. I knew this was wrong.

Kurt, I'm sorry about your brother.

Get away from me, man.

You don't think I know what happened here?

He was whacked. Whoa, slow down a second.

Your brother was wearing a medical alert bracelet. Said he had a septal defect.

Yeah, it was a damn heart murmur. He's had it since he was a kid. Well, was he

on any medication or... Hey!

He was breathing when he walked in there. That's right.

And that bitch served him coffee and now he's dead. Easy, easy.

We don't need that kind of talk here.

Look, things are really hot right now. Let's wait till all the facts are in

before we jump to any conclusions.

Hey, the fact is, there's going to be blood for this.

Captain,

excuse me.

The toxicology report came back on the coffee cut. The kid was right. There's

traces of strychnine.

And guess what?

Don't tell me.

Aside from the victim's prints being on the cup, the only other set lifted were

Akiko's. Any poison on the cup she gave Kenji? No, it was clean.

We better bring her in for questioning.

All right, I'll bite.

What's up?

Nothing. Nothing?

Well, all right, there is something. I mean, we work together every day, right?

I'm staying at your place, and still you're like this enigma.

Enigma? Yeah, an enigma.

What do you mean?

What do I mean? That thing with the bikes today, the Harleys. You're an

I was into bikes in high school.

Why didn't you tell me? You never asked.

Like, this was supposed to be an academic relationship.

Next thing I know, you're going to want the pin number to my ATM.

3840. Your parents' birthdays, remember?

See? My point exactly.

You know, man's got to have a little privacy, okay? I mean, just a little

Well, look, man.

If I'm ever going to construct a valid sensory profile of you, I'm going to

everything, the whole mosaic.

What did you just say?

I need to know everything.

Everything? Yeah.

From the moment your mother had that C -section.

I'll have to give you a rain check on that. There's a club.

Yeah, hello. This is Detective James Ellison. Oh, Detective Ellison. What can

do for you?

There's been a development in the Hetzman death, and I need to talk to you

it. How long?

I'm a little busy right now.

Miss Keno.

Please, Akiko.

Kiko.

The Hetzman death is now officially a homicide investigation, and you're a

material witness.

I can go in and pull you out with a warrant, but as an officer of the court,

was hoping you'd...

Miss Keno?

Yeah, uh, look, I have an office in the Weyerhaeuser building, 17th floor, suite

1720. I'll be there in a half an hour.

Great.

Let's just sit tight.

You know, Jim, far be it for me to tell you how to do your job.

Uh -huh. But if she is a murder witness, didn't you just tip her off?

I mean, what if you're waiting at her office over there and she's on some

to Osaka?

Well, that's why we're following her, Chief. I doubt she'll skip.

How come? I don't think she did it.

And her boss, she hates him.

How do you know that?

Instinct.

Hello, Colin.

Mike!

George. So did I, Ted.

Where do you think you're going?

I told you, I've got to talk to that cop and chill things out. We don't need the

heat right now on top of the war with the boy.

Oh. Well, I say we hit them today while they're not expecting us.

No. You want to compromise everything we're building here?

What'd she say?

Look, you little knee -same bitch.

Never, ever raise your voice to me in front of my man.

Do you understand?

Perfectly.

Then a... Apologize to your oil, hmm?

Hey, Tsurbasa.

You're a good judge of women.

One hour.

Hey.

No more.

Hmm?

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Blair.

Make it a game.

Yeah, hello?

Denver, where are you?

Um, maybe ten blocks away, but don't worry, I got him covered.

Got who covered?

Ray Peters, the shooter at the Kobe club. He takes me in the limo, and I'm

blocks behind him.

What was that?

No, don't tell me.

You call for backup and stay behind him. Way behind.

Right.

Please, emergency here, boss. I need your vehicle.

Sorry to interrupt your joyride like this, but I've got this thing about

my appointments.

Lloyd Killebrew, special agent in charge.

What the hell's the FBI got to do with this?

Don't ask, sports.

You're in way over your head.

So what's a GS -22 like you doing in Cascade? I'm working on the U

trade deficit.

Now don't tell me. She's a confidential informant.

Yeah, something like that.

I'm not an informant.

And what are you?

That's strictly need -to -know, pal, and you don't.

Great. Well, then I'll just borrow her for a little while, because she's a

material witness to a murder. Let's go.

You better be prepared to use that, Haas, because I'm taking rent. Now lower

ramp. Tell him, Lloyd.

She's one of you.

Special Agent Angela Gamora.

Berkeley, Harvard Law, Quantico, Class of 92.

I don't believe this.

Look, in the history of law enforcement, no agency, and I mean none, has ever

penetrated an Asian gang.

The Yakuza run the deadliest crime organization on the planet. They make

.S. Mafia look like Disney characters.

You can't begin to know the significance of Agent Kimura's penetration.

She risked her life to come here, and we're not going to jeopardize that for

sake of some biker boss who sells speed to school kids. We're not talking about

one biker. We've got about eight stiffs already.

You know, I just got to know.

Did you kill Rory Hessman?

Are you serious?

After what it took me to get inside?

The things that I have to do to maintain my cover.

Since when does working undercover include sleeping with your mark?

Listen, detective.

Kenji Kadama pisses ice water, and he is this close to blowing.

The man now controls half the meth market along the Pacific Rim, and he has

taken on the most violent biker gang since the Angels. You don't get close to

man like that by trading business cards.

Besides, bed is the one place where I can control him.

Before you lose one of these.

I guess I misjudged you.

Yeah, well, you were supposed to. So I would stay alive.

Anyway, you're good.

Nobody ever made me before.

Nobody can know she's undercover, and I mean nobody, including your boss.

If she's compromised, she'll be dead in an hour.

I'll take that under advisement.

Hey, Jim.

I am finally getting some insight into why you guys do this stuff. I'm in the

adrenaline rush. My endorphins are spiking. All right, Chief. Slow down,

you please? Tell me what happened. Check it out.

The tires? Pirelli Supersport.

Forensic says they matched the tracks found outside the Kobe Club.

What happened to Peters?

Went into the water with the bike. So far, there's no body, so we have to

presume that he escaped.

What happened to Akiko?

I lost her.

So let me understand this. First, your research assistant is involved in a high

-speed chase. Then you... Actually, um, it's the teaching fellow, Captain.

Then you lose a murder suspect in traffic.

That's real good, Jim.

You lost the key.

Yeah. Did you get an anonymous phone call about another dead body? Yeah. Come

on. Where?

230 Bellevue.

We'll be there in five.

What is it?

Just got an anonymous call.

230 Bellevue. There's another body.

All right, let's roll.

Hey, how about letting me drive in?

Uh, no, thank you.

Why not?

Because I got $1 ,000 deductible on my insurance.

You left the bathroom a complete mess.

The Mariners lost to Texas. How many other reasons do you need?

Great Peter.

Payback.

Born to lose?

I guess he did, huh?

What's up, Jim? You find something?

The partial heel print. And it's a deep one, kind of like a vibrant soulmate.

Hang on.

Thanks. There's been an explosion downtown, Captain.

What? I think they boosted some C4.

When? Just about an hour ago.

All right, thanks.

Bomb and arson.

Been an explosion.

Check his wires here.

Hi, guys.

Can you see how they're melting down like that?

Jim, you know Taggart's assistant?

Yes, sir.

Detective?

So what kind of psycho uses explosives to break into a locker full of

It's worse than that.

Last March, 10 kilos of C4 explosives were stolen from a demolition company.

Baum and Arson recovered it and grabbed the booster. It was stored here, pending

trial. Now it's gone.

Wait a second.

This hole was blown out from the inside.

What do you think, Sergeant?

You could be right.

What's the accident?

Just the one door.

Double deadbolt, reinforced steel.

Six -digit security keypad. It was locked when we got here.

So it sounds like someone knew the code, blew it from the inside to make it look

like a break -in.

Good morning, Chief.

What else had the code?

Just a few of the guys from ATF and the Bureau.

We have the only volatile locker in that game, but we sometimes throw it for the

bed.

Let me borrow this flashlight for a second here, boss.

What do you got, man?

Trent right here, a surviving soul like the one found next to Peters' body.

Got a thin wear line in the right four -step.

So who has the feet for, the Axe or the Void?

I don't know.

But whoever's got it has enough explosives to make Oklahoma City look

truck backfire.

How was it so important I had to risk blowing my cover?

We ran the prints on Ray's Peters.

The file came back sealed, which means one of two things.

He's in the witness protection or he's under. Now, which is it?

Do you have any idea how crazy Kenji is?

Look, there's this Japanese delicacy.

Fugu. Pepper fish.

The venom inside the flesh is so toxic that death comes in a matter of seconds.

The shafts leave just enough of it in the flesh to make your lips tingle when

you eat it. See, that way you know just how close you are to death.

Every time he eats the fish, Kenji makes him leave more and more of the poison

in.

He walks on the edge of a razor and I am right there with him.

I understand what you go through.

Working with him must be very difficult, but I really need to know the truth.

I'm not sure what that is anymore.

I found a shoe print in Little Tokyo.

The same print was recovered as a break inside outside a bomb in our survivor

who saw the kind of shoes that the cops wear. A source inside the Justice

Department told me that your boss had the access code.

Is it possible that the killer brew was dirty?

No. No way.

I've trusted the man with my life for three years.

Well, how about Race Peters?

He was an FBI agent. He was working inside the void.

What do you mean, was?

You don't know.

We found Race dead a few hours ago.

Race is dead? Yeah.

That's right.

Somebody's got enough C4 to turn downtown Cascade into waterfront

But why Killebrew?

Why not? He's a career path fed. He starts a war between the Yaks and the

and when it's over, the gang threat to the greater Northwest is cut in half,

he's got an office down the hall from the FBI director.

Nobody knows, right?

There's one catch.

You're caught in the middle.

You turn to Kenji, he's going to slit your throat.

The other side wants their payback for the loss that they suffered.

So what do you want me to do?

I want you to come out from under.

I can't.

What if Kenji has the C4? If I stay in, I can warn you.

It's too dangerous.

It's Kenji.

I gotta get back.

This isn't worth your life.

I'm sorry.

I gotta do this.

Sandberg. Where's Hurley?

He called in sick. What?

Ask Simon to access his service records.

I'm right here, Jim.

How far back?

All the way. He transferred in from state police. I need to know what

He started in highway patrol.

Motorcycle division.

Meet me at his locker in 15 minutes.

And have the watch commander there with bolt cutters.

Ah, there he is.

All right, Jim.

Let's hear this.

Race Peters was an FBI agent, which means somebody else did the club.

Plus, the axe didn't kill him.

Well, how do you know that?

The C4 was stolen by someone with access.

Now, the shoe print that was lifted from outside the arson locker had a mark on

its sole, right?

The type of mark that would be consistent with repeated use of a

Now, Hurley was the only player in all of this who knew both the axe and the

void. And he was standing right next to the coffee thermos when Akiko gave the

cup to Rory.

You're saying that Hurley started this war?

I'm saying we have probable cause to pop his locker.

That results in matching mark.

There's got to be an explanation for this. Mike was one of the good ones.

Hey, there's a note on this video.

What's it say?

Sorry, Jimmy.

It's all here.

Except the detonator.

What about it?

Those yak sons of bitches have taken over half of Pacific Street.

Do something about it.

Good, Jim, but by the time you see this, it'll all be over.

I gave my life to the job.

I never had a wife or kids of my own.

Just my sister Gail from Spokane and her daughter Tammy.

For 30 years, I did my job, I kept my head down, I made my collars, and it was

bad, but not like this.

Versus crack.

and meth and heroin.

It's a war zone out there.

A couple of weeks ago, I responded to a call from a single -room occupancy, an

old hotel.

There was this runaway, and she thumbed a ride to Cascade to find a better

life. Wound up turning tricks for the Yakuza.

The death that she ingested was sold by those animals in black leather.

It's Tammy.

Jim, she was only 15 years old.

Well, soon it'll all be over.

I'm going to take care of it, Jimmy.

One location to take them all out.

I'm just after dawn to keep the damage down. That's my last gift to the

department.

There'll be some money when you find me.

It's the cash from the C4.

Give that to Tammy's mother.

Over and out, good buddy.

So Hurley's going to take out the Void and the Yaks. But where?

Do me a favor.

Play it back to that snapshot of Tammy.

Wound up turning tricks.

Right there.

Freezer.

What is that sign outside the window?

See? Right here.

I -O -Y.

That's the Shioya.

The same building the Kobe club's in.

Down in Pacific.

Pestman's outside in the van.

He wants to send you all back to Kyoto.

Express.

Get every gun in the place.

We end this thing now!

One hit and I do the work of 50 cops.

No more dope from these bastards.

I just need you to back away. This is not your fight.

You can't do this, Mike. You've already killed one FBI agent. You're about to

kill another.

What? Race was in the bureau, Mike.

The key goes undercover now.

I didn't know.

Nice catching.

Saves a lot of lives.

Except for one.

I don't know how you guys get used to this stuff, man.

We don't.

What do we do with this?

We make sure it gets to Hurley's sister.

Come on.

What's it going to be, detective?

You don't have a charge on my client.

Not right now.

Then release him.

Or I'll file for illegal detention.

You and I need to talk about husband and wife.

Right now.

Make it fast.

I just wish we had more time.

I know.

This isn't over.

Hasn't even begun.

Do me a favor.

What's that?

When you're out dining with Kenji.

Yeah?

Stay away from the puffers.
