Original subtitles

Everyone in the back, into the kitchen.

Let's go, move!

Mr. Gazi, I was just about to call you.

I talked to Raman, he said I have more time.

That's not what he told me. He said I should come and break some bones.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, hold on, no!

C'mon, don't do this.

Calm down, just...

I can get you the money.

Just give me one more day.

Daniel: Good run?

Jesus!

You scared the hell out of me.

You have any idea how easy it is to get in here?

You should try locking your door for starters.

What's going on?

Early briefing. You weren't picking up so I came by.

You thinking about putting some furniture in this place?

I got the important stuff.

How long have you been here, four months?

Six and a half.

Six and a half months?

And you have one plant, and you kill it.

Look at that. It's a metaphor.

Just because you're divorced doesn't mean you have to live like a slob.

Separated. There's a big difference.

I'm just saying, John.

This isn't a home, it's depressing.

Does Emily stay here? Where does she sleep?

Alright. That's enough, okay.

I'm going to have a shower.

Make yourself some coffee, if you want.

Hey, look at this.

Who's that?

He's been cracking her up for the last twenty minutes.

Maria: You have any idea who that is? John: None.

All I remember is you were a sloppy drunk.

I was an exceptional drunk.

Okay, I remember it. Shots of tequila lined up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, lime green underwear.

More of a minty green.

I do remember you drinking me under the table.

John: Was this an early briefing?

John, there you are, good.

This is Marcus Jakes, he's a U.C.

Right.

John Moreland, in the flesh.

The stories I hear about you, brother.

How you doing?

Jakes and I were in uniform together. Same division.

Small world.

I used to make her laugh so hard that coffee would shoot out her nose.

You still do that?

All the time.

Okay. So. Briefing.

Yeah.

Ali Raman, runs a protection racket.

Illegal gambling, torture, murder.

He's got an underground fight club, it's pretty intense.

I've heard of this guy, he's a borderline psychopath.

Jakes has been deep undercover. Eight months.

My path into Raman's operation has been through his lieutenant.

A guy named Ric Gazi.

Oh. Look at that.

It's magic.

Jakes: I'm in deep with Gazi...

Worked my way onto his crew.

Daniel: You've been doing what?

You know, collections.

Trashing stores, intimidating folks, that kind of thing.

I could arrest Gazi right now, but he is not my focus.

I want Raman, I want the boss.

Major Crimes is asking us to help out.

Why, were's your handler?

The handler was Stu Crowder, he's out of the picture.

Out of the picture, what does that mean?

Whiskey, happened to him.

Followed by gin, followed by paint thinner,

if that's what he had around.

After a while he just stopped checking in.

I'd called for surveillance, and backup, I get nothing.

I was completely on my own.

So, what can we do for you, Mr. Jakes?

My boy Gazi, he's got ambitions.

He's wants to take out Raman. He's planning a hit.

We can't let that happen.

So we're going to get in front of it.

You are going to be my old friend John the hit-man.

I'm going to introduce you to Gazi.

You're going to meet him, talk to him, take the contract.

Conspiracy to murder, that's big.

I need him out of the way. I need a clear shot at his boss, Raman.

Alright, listen up. Our first step...

John: Just wait a second.

How do you know about this hit he's got planned?

Jakes: He told me.

So you didn't offer?

No, of course not.

What's your point?

My point is, I want to know what I'm walking into.

Make sure this meet is clean.

Relax.

I know what I'm doing. The job is solid.

Jesse, you'll cover things from the inside,

you'll be a fighter, training at Raman's club.

You'll be our eyes in there.

I'm going to have to wire you.

With what you're wearing, I'm going to have to do your chest.

Can you take your shirt off?

Yeah.

Are you kidding me?

What?

Nothing.

Come here.

Rebecca: Gazi will be at the club, that's where he does business.

Jakes, you're going to walk John inside, introduce him.

We'll be recording everything.

As soon as Gazi offers John the contract, we got him.

Alright, they just came in.

Jesse, make sure you keep them in sight.

The face of it is completely legit, but after hours it's a whole different thing.

The gloves come off, bare knuckle fights.

A lot of gambling, a lot of blood.

They never get shut down?

No, never. Raman knows exactly who to pay off, and how much.

The guy in there right now, the guy behind me, green shirt,

that's the trainer Duffy, Eli Duff.

He runs all the fighters.

Every single one of them does double duty as enforcers.

The kid in there with him, that's Gavin.

If you don't pay your debt, he comes by, he breaks your arms.

So, over there.

That's my guy Gazi, Raman's second in command.

He wants Raman gone so he can take over the whole operation.

He's a little paranoid, so don't take it personally.

John: He's planning to kill his boss, I'd be paranoid too.

Jesse: They're approaching Gazi.

There he is.

What... wait for it.

Chewy says he's sorry, won't be late again.

Dont' say I never gave you nothing.

Oh, this is my friend. This is the guy.

The guy I told you about.

How you doing? John.

He does the thing, the service.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What did I tell you? Hates new people.

Gazi, we had the conversation,

you wanted to meet a guy, now you're meeting him.

What's happening?

I don't know. It looks like a stand off.

You're imagining things, my friend.

You need to walk away right now.

I told him this was a bad idea.

He got zero judgement, this guy.

What are you talking about?

You think he's going to discuss business in front of all these people?

Apologize.

Come on, let's go.

You're killing me here, you know that?

Tell him we're gonna meet somewhere else.

Brickworks, north side.

North side, parking lot.

Alright that'll work, that's good.

Brickworks, north side, parking lot.

Be there in twenty minutes, your last chance.

Alright, they're on their way out.

We're going to wait here in the car.

Let Gazi come to us.

When he comes in, let him drive the conversation.

Don't lead him, alright?

Maria and Danny are going to be at 2 o'clock running spin.

What's he thinking with these tinted windows,

how are we going to see Gazi whe's he's in the backseat?

John: Rebecca will be in the lot behind us.

She'll have eyes on the entrance.

Maria: There's Rebecca.

Daniel: She's in position.

It's good to see Rebecca, she looks good.

Jakes: You two getting along?

Most of the time.

Yeah, takes a while that one.

You two will be fine.

She's worth it. She's one of a kind, seriously.

Best cop I've ever known.

John, Gazi's approaching the entrance.

Rebecca: Get ready.

John: We got eyes.

Maria: OK, here he is.

Maria: We're good, Gazi's alone.

Rebecca: John, do you have a clear view?

John: Yeah, we're good.

What is he doing?

Is he going to get out?

Relax. He's just being cautious.

Jakes: Come on, Gazi.

John: Alright, here we go.

Jakes: Alright, here we go.

John: Shots fired, Rebecca!

Where's the shooter?

There he is, by the warehouse.

Daniel, stay with him.

I got him, he's headed south.

Shots fired. Brickworks, north side parking lot, send an ambulance.

Alright, hold on.

All I'm saying is that this whole thing is based on Jakes' information.

Jakes' judgement.

If he was doing his job, he'd have known about the hit.

But you're not placing blame.

No I'm not placing blame. Rebecca, wait, okay?

I've worked with guys like this before.

They fly by the seat of their pants.

And you don't?

If Gazi was exposed...

He didn't know it was going to happen, John.

You would have made the same call.

I know he's your friend, maybe you've got a blind spot.

He's a good cop, back off.

Khali: Ric Gazi was DOA at Mount Sinai.

Homicide wants you to call them.

I'm sure they do.

You're going to have to give a full statement.

We all are. Shooter?

He got away.

I had no idea, I swear to God.

So, what happened. Raman caught wind of the hit?

Must have been.

Could have been a pre-emptive strike.

It means you might be done, Jakes.

Too bad. That's eight months work down the drain.

Or maybe it works in my favour.

It's an opportunity, a chance to move up.

How do you figure that?

You're one of Gazi's boys, Raman's going to smell you a mile away.

So I need to make a move, send a message.

Show Raman that I'm loyal, I wasn't involved.

John could be right. You could be next in line for a bullet.

And if my guys are with you, they're in danger too.

We need to make sure he's safe. That's our next move.

We could put Jesse in as a fighter slash enforcer.

Rebecca: John?

Yeah, he could be looking for extra cash.

Jakes can walk him in, make the intro.

He could be one of your boys.

It'll give us a sense.

If anyone looks at you sideways, Jakes, we're out.

Jakes: Kid, I hope you know how to fight.

Raw talent, quick learner.

You need a guy to do collections, he can do that too.

You said you were looking for new people.

How you doing?

Where'd you find him?

This girl I know, he's her kid brother.

She's insane, she thinks he's the next big thing.

Maybe she's right.

Yeah, listen kid, this is Duffy, you do exactly what he says.

Yeah.

Throw him in there with Gavin, see what he does.

First spar doesn't go to one of my boys.

It goes to me.

Gavin: Good luck kid.

Alright here we go.

Take it easy on him, Duff.

Jakes: Come on, Jesse, make this count.

Jakes: Come on, Jesse, keep it together.

Gavin: Watch his feet, c'mon.

Jakes: That's it, that's it, wait for an opening.

Jakes: That's alright, you got this, c'mon!

Jakes: Shake it off.

Jakes: Come on, stay on him.

Alright, Duffy, I think you made your point.

Alright, you can let him up I think.

Let him up, man. What are you doing?

Your boy's okay.

Tell him to come see me later.

You made the right choice, by the way.

You had a front cross.

You saw it, but you didn't take it.

You let Duffy smoke you.

You noticed?

I did the same thing, my first time.

You're going to do just fine here.

Come on, come on.

Jakes: What'd I tell you? I'm safe, we're good.

Rebecca: What have you got?

Bear with me.

Raman is in the busines, among other things,

of collecting debt, right?

And sometimes he buys a debt from someone else.

For example, you're a gambler. You're Gambler Dan.

And you owe John here, two-fifty, three hundred grand.

You're not paying.

And Gentleman John, is an old friend of mine

from way back, is not a violent man.

He can't go around breaking people's fingers,

he doesn't have the stomach for it.

So I bring Raman the debt, and he buys it for 50 grand.

He's like a collection agent.

Now Gambler Dan owes him. And if he doesn't pay, his legs get broken.

Daniel: But we've already established, John as a hit-man.

But no one knows that.

They only saw him in the club. Why was he there?

You were introducing him to Gazi.

Gazi was going to buy it. And now that he's dead.

You're going to take it all the way up to Raman.

It's the move I've been waiting to make.

Along comes the dream team. Guns a'blazin.

Ready to make some arrests.

Loan sharking, extortion, assault.

Guys, what do you think?

It's not terrible.

Thoughts?

Let's do it. Let's take it for a spin.

Raman: Yes?

Marcus.

This is John Bain.

Pleasure. Please sit.

Marcus, has told me about your predicament.

I love my sister.

Only she has terrible taste in men.

He's a gambler, they were together for two years.

He stole three hundred thousand from her.

And when she found out, he became very violent.

He almost killed her.

And now you want your money back.

I want him to pay.

I want your personal attention on this. I hear you're the best.

Can you do it?

Possibly.

I'll need time to have Gavin check him out.

Whatever you need.

He lives at 19 West Elm Street.

John has a special request.

I want to be there when you do it.

When you collect.

I want to look into his eyes,

when you're making him pay.

Hey.

John asked me to check into Jakes' files.

Rebecca: Really?

I think we might have a problem.

So I've been pulling all of Jakes' case work

from the last eight months. And it's full of holes.

I'm not surprised, the handler was AWOL...

I'm not so sure it's just the handler.

There's paper, but there's not a lot of evidence.

No video, no audio.

His hand-written notes are sketchy at best.

There's nothing here that would stand up in court.

And there's this woman, Abi Rand.

Jakes has been using her as a CI.

Former heroin addict.

Her information hasn't led to a single arrest,

and yet he keeps paying her.

Thousands of dollars for nothing.

Look, this all could have an explanation,

but if Jakes is lying to us, if he's out of control,

So he's sleeping with his C.I.

Probably, yeah.

I'm going to bring her in, talk to her.

Have you looked at the case work?

It's a mess.

It could be the handler.

You're going to blame the handler on this one?

I know Jakes, he would never jeopardize a case.

Rebecca, you knew him fifteen years ago.

If you ask me, I think you should shut down this whole thing right now.

Maybe he's been in too long...

I don't know anymore.

Rebecca?

He believed in me, John.

He was the first.

He use to say, I'd follow you anywhere.

I'd walk off a cliff for you.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on this.

What's the C.I.'s name?

Abi.

Alright, when she comes in, Maria should talk to her,

not you.

We need to know we can trust Jakes.

Until then, I'll look after things myself.

I'll cover Jesse at the set-up house.

Soon as Daniel checks out Raman, we move.

Put Jakes' play in action, Gambler Dan.

You want to head over, take a look inside?

Not yet. We're going to sit tight.

See who comes and goes.

So what happens if he won't pay?

Rough him up a little?

We're just doing research, that's all.

Alright, they're in place.

Let's give it a few minutes.

Daniel: I'm ready. Just say the word.

I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out.

So, okay, the boss is Raman.

Gazi, got shot, he's dead.

Duffy, he's the one who gives you the orders, right?

You ask a lot of questions.

Whatever, we don't have to talk.

Okay, Daniel. Any time.

Here he is.

Jesse: Sweet car.

That's a hundred grand easy, right there.

Jesse: Yeah, that's him, that's our guy. No question.

Are you kidding me?

What?

Hang on a sec.

Jesse: What's wrong.

I don't believe it.

That guy arrested me.

What?

Like seven, eight years ago. That guy's a cop!

You're sure?

My first bust, man.

I'll never forget his face.

John: Daniel, you just got made.

You're kidding me.

Stay in the house, stay out of sight.

Man, what are the friggin' odds?

So what are we going to do?

What do you think? We're going to tell the boss.

Son of a ...

Come on...

What are you doing?

You want to tell me where I am?

Maria: Abi, I'm Detective Constable Cortez.

Abi: Am I under arrest?

Are you a confidential informant for Marcus Jakes?

Is this your C.I. number?

Was I supposed to memorize it?

What about this, is that your signature?

Mm-Hmm.

Where's Marcus?

These are all payments made to you,

in exchange for information. False information by the looks of it.

Maria: But he kept paying you.

Maria: Are you sleeping with him, Abi?

He's not paying me for sex.

Is Marcus Jakes your boyfriend?

Abi: So what if he is?

You probably thought you'd never get in trouble for this.

I mean he's a cop, right?

Here's the thing, though, it's bogus information.

It won't hold up in court. You both knew it.

That's an offence.

I should arrest you, right now.

I want to talk to Marcus.

That's not happening.

I can't go to jail, okay. I can't.

I can't do that.

Maria: I need to show you something.

Do you know who this man is?

Abi?

Can you tell me his name.

That's Chip.

That's my ex.

Do you know who did this to him?

He was stalking me, he wouldn't leave me alone.

Abi. He almost died.

Maria: Who did this

It was Marcus. Marcus did it.

Abi: Chip came by my apartment and Marcus just lost it.

Abi: It's like he wanted to kill me.

What are you doing here?

Hey, can I come in?

Yeah, come on in.

Give me a minute.

Alright.

Nice digs.

Yeah, it does the job, right?

This place wired?

Bedroom's on the fritz,

but you know.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Thank you.

So you had a late night last night?

What are we doing here, what's going on?

Rebecca's worried about the case.

She wants you to come in.

What else is new? She loves to worry, that girl.

That what you came by, to tell me?

Could've just called.

Your phone's off.

I would've got the message.

How's Danny How's our play shaking out?

Daniel...

got made.

He, what?

Yup.

What did he do?

The muscle guy, Gavin.

Turns out Daniel arrested him back in the day.

You're kidding me.

Nope.

That's just bad luck, that's what that is.

Seems to happen a lot on this case.

Let me ask you something.

If I were to go through this whole place, what kind of contraband would I find?

What are you talking about?

Jakes, I've been here. I've done all this.

I know the temptations.

I must be good if I'm fooling you.

You're falling for the look, man.

The props.

I'm squeaky clean.

You know what, John? I would have thought you of all people

would know what I'm doing here.

I had to forget everything, but who I was.

Just to be this guy.

I watch guys get beaten every day and I just gotta stand there.

You think that's fun for me?

I'm doing police work, are you going to help me or what?

We talked to Abi. We brought her in.

She told us the full extent.

She's prepared to testify.

The full extent of what?

You've been collecting debts.

You've been there when guys have gotten beaten.

And you haven't just been watching, you've been doing it yourself.

No no no, that's the cover, it's not real,

she doesn't understand

You've funnelling cash to your C.I.

You've been making money and not reporting it.

That's not true.

You know me, if it's true, I'm going to find out.

I've been working this case for eight months.

Why would I put that in jeopardy?

You like the lifestyle, you like playing the part.

You don't want to leave it.

Is that what you think, Rebecca?

That's what this guy's telling you?

I swear to God, Marcus,

I don't know what to think.

Okay, this guy John-boy, I've heard a lot of stories.

You don't think he bent the rules sometimes?

Okay look, this guy was abusive.

He wouldn't leave her alone, I was worried for her.

The case is good.

So what they know Daniel's a cop? That's workable.

We could use that, he's not the first cop to owe a debt.

They'll never guess that's our cover.

Rebecca, look at me.

Come on, you know me, you know I wouldn't do this.

I know who you were.

I need it.

I need this Raman guy, he is a scumbag.

And he ruins people's lives.

I need something good to come out of all this.

Don't turn me into the guy...

the cop who goes off the rails, and blows the big case.

Don't do it to me.

Can you give us a minute?

Yeah, yeah.

This guy Raman, he's vicious, he beats people up for a living.

He killed someone right in front of us.

We need to get him, Rebecca.

Look, Jakes is on the edge, he has to be, it's what got him close to Raman.

I think Jakes can do it.

Really? After all this?

You're going to put your life in his hands?

You know as well as I do, that could be me outside that door right now..

You believed in this guy. Let's give him a chance to redeem himself.

Let's take Raman down.

So the good news is, Gavin doesn't remember your name, just your face.

Say hello to Daniel Winacott.

You're part of Guns and Gangs, just like the real Daniel.

After a couple years you blew it.

Infractions, bad performance reports,

caught in a few gambling dens and then down-graded to a desk job.

So, I'm a file-clerk.

With a temper.

Maria: And a gambling problem, you just can't resist a big fight.

You think this is going to work?

Raman deals with cops all the time,

probably some of his best clients.

Rebecca: It's fight night at Raman's club.

Daniel, you're there to bet on the fight, and Maria, you're his new girlfriend.

Jakes and John, you make contact with Raman and deliver Gambler Dan right to him.

All Raman has to do is try and collect and we got him, we'll take him down.

Yo, focus man, I need you here.

How's our boy doing?

To be honest, a bit shaky.

But he's obsessed with Raman.

He'll get through it.

That Rebecca? She worried about me?

She's fine.

Is that the best you can do?

Tell me.

We're wired.

I don't care about the wire.

Give it to me straight, brother John.

Is this my last day on the job?

This is our last chance at this case.

I mean as a cop. She's going to take my badge.

That's up to you.

Tonight, let's just focus on getting the bad guys.

Rebecca wouldn't put you in play if she didn't think you could do this.

You don't know Becks like I do.

Once you lose her trust, it's over. Right Rebecca?

Well you're going to have to earn it back.

Jakes, you are good at this job.

You just got to remind her that, alright?

Okay?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Heads up. Here comes the target.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the man

you asked me to collect from is a cop.

He is, I should have mentioned, that to you.

I didn't want you to say no.

Did you know about this, Marcus?

It's my fault I didn't even tell him.

Look, this cop a screw-up. He has no friends.

There will be no payback. You have my guarantee.

He's over there at the bar right now.

He's with his new girlfriend.

You brought him here.

I brought him to the fight as a peace offering.

Trust me, he has no idea you're about to collect his debt.

You're going to make a lot of money tonight, my friend.

And you're going to have me to thank for that.

Let's do it right now, I'll call him over.

No, leave him there for a minute, he's fine.

He's enjoying himself.

My problem is this.

I don't like police.

And to be perfectly honest, I'm starting to have an uneasy feeling about you, Jakes.

What are you talking about?

And I always listen to that feeling.

What's he doing?

Stop, why are you killing this?

This is not happening. I'm sorry, Jakes.

Not tonight. Enjoy the fight.

You and your friend.

That's it? He can't just walk away.

He can and he just did.

Rebecca, I think we're done here.

You want to give him some time, circle back?

There's no point. It's over. He just closed the door.

Jakes: Come on, are you kidding me?

You're just giving up?

John: Calm down Jakes, we're done.

So what? We're just shutting down?

Let's pack it up.

Referee: Here we go boys.

Referee: No head butts, eye gouging, groin attacks,

or head kicking to a grounded opponent.

Alright, so that's it I guess.

Next time, right?

I'll see you back at the shop.

Maria: Okay, but I'm staying for the fight.

So what do you wanna do? You wanna to watch the fight?

It's not over.

Jakes!

You think you can just walk away?

You think we're done?

Jakes.

What are you doing?

He's unarmed.

He's going to tell us everything.

Every crime, every detail.

Or I'm going to put a bullet in him.

Daniel: Where's John? Have you seen him?

No, and no Jakes.

You think this is going to work?

He's going to confess.

He's going to say we beat it out of him.

And we're going to deny it.

What do you mean we?

I, mean you and me.

You're going to get my back.

You want me to lie for you?

Yes.

Eight months, John, I've been after this guy for eight months.

I'm not just going to let him go.

If you're not up for it, you leave.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Alright, Jakes.

Come on, don't do this.

I'm going to back you up on this one, okay?

We'll say he came after you, it was self-defense.

You will not be charged.

But after that, Jakes, you've got to walk away from this one.

You need to walk away, right now.

Wake up!

Maria, what's going on in there?

Jakes and John, where are they?

Maria: We left them watching the fight.

What about Raman?

He's not here either.

Rebecca: Find them, make sure they're okay.

We gotta split up.

I've been where you are.

Thanks to this job...

I've racked up a divorce,

I got a bleak apartment I can barely unpack,

I lie awake in my bed at night full of anger

full of this constant rage.

Good for you.

Awww, there he is!

Wait, I get it.

Oh no, you don't get it.

This guy tortures people, and takes pleasure from doing it!

And he's going to say it, into the phone or

I'm going to put a bullet in his brain.

Talk, tell it!

Tell me how you torture people!

You're right.

This guy is scum.

He deserves it.

You could kill him right now, no one would shed a tear.

Let me tell you something...

if you do that, if you shoot him,

you will be lost my friend.

You are done.

You will never come back from that, ever again.

Do you understand me?

Jakes,

right now you are standing on the edge.

You need to step back now.

Just one step back.

I'm right here.

I'm not forcing you.

Come on.

You gotta step back.

Come on.

Ahhh!

You're going to charge him?

I'm going to try.

Jakes.

You need to arrest me.

You need to take me in.

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

This is going to sound strange.

I'm glad it was you.

Daniel.

Want to come and help me unpack?

There's a couple beer in it for you.

Daniel: Tempting, but I got a thing tonight.

That's your loss, pal.

Tell you what, save me a cold one.

Nice place.

You need to start locking your door, though.

Everything's unpacked.

You did this all for me?

Someone needed to take responsibility.

I'm going to get you all keys, alright?

Hey.

Okay, tough guy.

What would you do if I did this...

Not bad.

It's the reflexes of a jungle cat.

Is that right?

Hey.

Hi.

I can still see that skinny kid in his uniform.

Never really fit him.

Didn't fit any of us.

All he wanted was to catch the bad guy.

I should've seen it.

You did. I pushed.

I let you.

You ever worry it'll happen to you?

Every day.
