[Police radio chatter]

Good evening.

Hey.

All ready for us, huh?

Yeah, yeah.

You know what, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not

always perfect on the road.

No shit.

Can I see your license and registration?

Nikki Yeah, sure.

You know, I'm sorry about the stench.

I've been cleaning the tank out.

Not doing a very good job.

You'll be surprised at what kind of dust people leave on

their TVs.

Is that Right.

You know why we stopped you tonight?

Yeah.

You know, you can never tell how fast you're going in the

tank.

I don't think it was the speed.

We clocked you going 20.

You didn't hear people beeping behind you?

No, I heard the siren.

I heard the siren.

Like I said, it's tough to tell in the tank.

Maybe you should get a hearing aid.

Maybe your grandmother can help you with that.

[Police radio chatter.]

So, this is your tank, huh?

I like that.

It's clever...

Hey, whoa.

Stay in the car.

Get back in the van. Get back in the van.

Get down.

Do not move.

Stay on the ground. Stay where you are.

[Crosstalk] .

What is in there?

It smells like piss.

Can we get away from the truck?

Do not move.

[Police radio chatter.]

[Police radio chatter.]

Hey, Mr. & Mrs. Dixon, how you doing tonight?

Okay. How you doing?

Mrs. Dixon: Anything happening here.

No, nothing just a slight disturbance.

Anything we should be worried about?

It's nothing to be worried about.

You guys can go on ahead.

Have a great night.

Okay, thanks.

Have a great night.

Whoa...

Sir, this is an active area.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

No, you don't.

Oh, sorry.

You are...?

Agent Tom Mackenrowe. DEA.

From Melville?

No.

New York?

DC What happened to the Melville guys?

They're all on terrorism, so they sent me.

Okay.

Hey Ed ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó

When did officer Hodges respond?

Officer Hodges responded when he saw the driver next to the

van.

He then apprehended the suspect.

And then we smelled the smell coming from the back.

Is this when he started coughing?

Yeah.

We all did.

But him, mostly.

Is he alright?

Well, they're monitoring his lungs.

I want to work on this case.

I knew you'd say that.

I want to talk to the guy.

What does the DEA think?

Did you get a chance to look in the back of that van?

He's a cook, right?

His shit stinks.

Why are they just now sending someone from HQ?

They're not just sending us.

We've actually been here for over a year.

We have reason to believe that there's a large network of

meth cooks on Long Island.

Nikki Hernandez has a history with dealing and use.

He's cooking.

Special Agent Mackenrowe, per your request, we've made the

accommodations here at the precinct for you and your

team.

I believe Special Agent Scott has already moved her stuff

in.

Excellent, Thank you.

Coop.

I want you to work with Special Agent Mackenrowe on

this one.

Good.

Good, Okay.

So, what's first?

Where do we start?

This is going to be unlike anything you've ever dealt

with before.

Okay.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó Hey, honey.

Is your mom home?

Don't answer the door.

I told you that.

Mrs. Hernandez?

What is it?

These guys want to talk with you.

Mrs. Hernandez, we have a warrant.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Immaculate house.

But it still gets on all the surfaces.

DEA Agent Agent Mackenrowe, I need you to sign this for

cataloguing.

Thank you.

So, you never know what you're going to run into.

Sometimes, they hide stuff in all types of crap.

You okay, honey?

Yeah.

Did they scare you?

Yes.

Well, you're safe now.

Everything is going to be okay.

So, all different types of stuff you want to look for.

You never know what the hell they're going to hide it in.

For instance, over here.

Okay.

Hey, sweetie, can I see your animal thing for a second?

You aren't going to hurt the puppy or anything are you?

No, Officer Cooper, I'm not going to hurt the -- DEA Agent

I got this one, Agent Mackenrowe.

Hi, kid, hand over the dog.

I think the puppy's clean...

He's just checking to see if she's sick.

I'm doing my job, mall cop.

Hey, thanks, John Wayne.

Hey, let me have a little chat with you over here for a

second.

Sure: Here you go, honey.

He squeezed her.

I know, honey.

Just give her a big hug and she'll be fine.

What's your name?

Agent Jake Farrell.

New York Task Force.

Okay, yeah.

You do a lot of initiatives?

Yeah, last one was Operation Resale.

Heard of it?

Yeah.

the finger lakes bust.

That was good work.

Thanks so much, Agent Mackenrowe.

You're welcome, you're welcome.

So, you get a lot of mall cops up there?

Hmm?

Look.

I'm sorry about that.

But, you know, they don't see what we see.

Yeah.

They don't see what we see.

These guys are trained in chemical warfare on trains,

Agent Farrell.

They're also trained to deal with lunatics that go into

malls and start shooting up people for no reason.

They also worked the perimeter of Ground Zero on September

12th.

So, how in any fucking way is that less than you?!

Look, I wasn't saying -- Don't waste my time.

Keep your fucking mouth shut.

We don't freaking bully little kids.

And we don't treat local cops like shit.

I wasn't saying that they were any different...

You know what.

You're going to pack your shit and you're going to get the

hell out of here.

I'm gonna call headquarters and have your dumb ass

reassigned.

Fucking douche.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ Daddy?

Honey, how are you not asleep yet?

I'm scared.

Jaws again?

Yeah.

That's just some stupid move by a guy named Steven.

But I can't stop thinking about it, Daddy.

I know.

I know.

If I could take it out of your head, I would.

Try thinking about something nice like Kenny the shark.

Okay.

He's friends with that girl and they go to school

together, right?

Yeah.

Maybe you wouln't think about it so much if you weren't

chomping on your nails all the time....

Good girl.

Gotta think about Kenny, okay?

Okay.

Good night.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó You're kidding, right?

Are you?

This only happens in movies.

It's like, 700 o'clock.

Yeah, yeah.

How's the charter school biz?

Good.

Except this time tomorrow, I'm grading papers and I literally

know none of the answers.

How are the hard edge streets of Long Island?...

You ready for my class?...

No...

Don't tell me you forgot.

No.

I didn't forget anything.

You did!

No.

I didn't.

I remembered now.

I'm fine.

I'm there, are you?

Seriously, those kids are obsessed with you.

They have a ton of questions.

They do?

Yeah, the only one they're more obsessed with is Dan

Barker.

Who's Dan Barker?

The fireman.

I always lose to the fireman.

Not always.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó Your mother's a nice lady.

No she ain't.

Where's my cousin?

You know; you don't look anything like her.

Where's my cousin?

Did you tell her that you make meth?

Why would I tell her about something I don't do?

Where's my cousin?

She's okay.

Is she clean?

Yeah.

You cook that shit around her.

Sticks to countertops, food...stuffed animals.

I'm not a damn cook culo.

You sell?

Hmm?

No?

Cause one of our agents found some really interesting things

in the back of your van.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Besides the ammonia that put Officer Cooper's partner in

the hospital, we also found a really cool chemistry set.

In fact, there was so much of it that we ran out of those

little white tags.

I have paperwork for this stuff.

Funny enough, these match some items we found in the cabinet

under your sink.

So, you were saying you don't manufacture?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, then, who does?

Cause you were on your way somewhere,

Guys, we gotta call

I'm going to let you simmer on these, Nikki.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó I don't know where the hell he is...

Ed, where the hell are you?

Ed?

I'm coming around back....

What's up, Coop?

Good to see you.

Agent Mackenrowe, good to see you.

Good to see you again.

What's up?

We got your call.

We've been here the last two nights.

Me and the agent...

Agent Scott, okay.

Taking a lot of pictures.

Telling me what's what, it's okay.

This place is clean.

That's the official line.

Okay.

Swear to God, fellows.

There is someone else in there.

What if it's another kid?

Kids get hungry.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó Coop?

Yeah....

There's still a whole lot of shit in here.

Well, they took a truckload today.

There's another truck coming tomorrow.

This place is packed.

Well I don't know what to tell you.

There's nothing here.

Nothing.

I guess I'm old enough to be hearing things, huh?

...I'm telling you fellas, it's like Amityville in here.

[floor creaking sound] Did you hear that?

Yeah.

I told you.

Okay.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ Okay, okay, okay.

Hands up.

Get up slowly.

Get out of there.

Slowly.

Get up.

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ How long were you in there?

Couple of minutes.

I left right before the raids.

Really?

Sgt. Billman says he heard you the night before.

Oh, yeah.

I was there then too.

Why were you there?

Because you guys showed up and I got spooked.

Were you looking for something?

The bathroom.

I'm finding her more than a little annoying.

Yeah, and she's twitchy.

She looks clean.

Yes, she does.

Why were you hiding?

So that you wouldn't find me.

Does this happen often?

You hiding from law enforcement?

No.

If anything, I can't get you fucking people off my back.

I was just visiting with Mrs. Hernandez, okay.

About babysitting Nikki's younger cousin.

And she owed me money.

So, I was just looking for it.

Okay.

Nikki's never mentioned you.

Well, we're just friends, officer.

You have her file again?

... Thank you.

Mrs. Hernandez didn't say she was expecting you.

She didn't mention you guys either.

Come to think about it.

So, you were there just looking for money?

You sure?

As opposed to what?

You tell me.

I got nothing for you.

You got me.

I guess I'm cooked.

Let me see your arms!

What, why, let me see your arms.

You see this?

That's why you don't fucking fidget with handcuffs!

ó_óó_óó_óó_óó_óó_ó She looks clean.

No nasty meth mouth, right?

Well, she does something.

Used to work at Suffolk Community.

Maybe she takes care of Nikki's paperwork.

She hasn't said anything.

Let's just charge her.

Maybe we should wait.

I agree, but she's been arrested twice for possession

in use.

She has an emergency room visit with a Mathmage.

You think she's more involved.

No one has seen a woman in a crime scene overnight.

Maybe she's running.

Let me go in there and get her to cooperate.

Well, well, well.

Sergeant Billman found a car

[Music]

You're gonna like this guy.

He's old school.

Hey Cooper.

Hey how are you.

I'm alright Is it cool out here?

Yeah found like the DEA agent a female.

She's here I don't know what she's found yet.

Hi Tom, No hands man, is she clean?

You're Officer Cooper?

Yeah.

[Inaudible]

your around 5.9.Just kidding.

How's Officer Hodges?

Thanks, he's restless.

So she's clean?

She's far from clean.

Do you smell that?

Yeah that's disgusting.

See the stains?

She's been doing something.

She's either a cook or a killer.

But she does her homework.

The only thing I did find was a small piece of aluminum from

the back of the cool pack.

Can we use any of these?

If you can talk to her maybe you can find the sachets?

Find the sachets maybe some dealers.

We find why the cooks needs so many people driving their

materials around.

We're having a good old heroine rite?

The best of the two labs we had in 2008 it's only a matter

of time.

Oh dear God!

Year and a half later.

Geez!

Daddy can I see your badge?

Oh hey, yes. Sure.

Just watch this in the back, okay.

Pretty Shiny rite?

Just cleaned it.

Is that corn book?

Oh no that's daddy's work and it is time for bed for you

buster.

What do say about touching daddy's gun?

Something's bad.

That's right.

Think about this way the Hernandez went into alcohol,

surgical tubes, beaker's the whole night.

The only thing they didn't have was the drug not even so

much as cold medicine.

So was a multi-pop.

Without evidence we can't argue that.

There was nothing, but alcohol some school stuff and your

formula there and symbols relating from Suffolk

Chemistry Department.

It was good enough for one plus Hernandez he doesn't cook

anymore.

Well then whose cooking?

That's the question.

I had some calls coming in about the Hernandez house they

are extremely worried and going for ice.

Listen your call in aggression on this guy couldn't just

assure that he's never gonna cooperate with us.

So then what are we gonna do?

Let's cut her loose.

Let's cut Julie a loose and see what bread cram she

follows.

She's buddy with Nikki Hernandez and she's got a

history with dealers and manufacturers rite?

So what if these are Hernandez too?

If Julie is coming down we could get these two together?

Come on tell me you're not pushing the kids?

What?

Tell me now Julie or I'll break you.

Oh come on McGriff okay I'm not pushing the kids.

Okay then let's go to your house There is a house across

the park, when do I get my car back?

Whose house you're gonna party and play?

I don't know what that means Yes there is Julie I was gonna

be DEA You were gonna be a Fen.

What is so funny about that?

What happened?

When do I get my car back?

Your car has been bound to this evidence.

You're sure you don't want me to take you to a shelter or

something?

Wait it's your crossed ring that you promised to one and

other.

It's your boy

and it looks like you my daughter had

cheeks like that I swear if I didn't know anybody better we

had the eyes she used to crack me and my wife up.

Perry rite?

Tattooed, where is he now?

None of your fucking business.

Don't even think of giving me money.

It's for dinner.

I don't take handouts

Julia, if in your

travels you walk into one of your friend's houses and all

the hairs in the back of your neck stand on end, that's

billions of years of evolution telling you to leave.

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

It's a fucking disgrace.

There's like nobody in there.

Well, it doesn't surprise me.

There's no way this could be happening in the suburbs,

right?

Agent What are you gonna start with?

What to look for, I guess, although what household

doesn't have Sudafed and a milk cartoon in their

home? Odds are I'll just lead with the usual.

You see a kid playing in the front yard, and it smells like

piss, call the police.

Alright.

[laughter]

Hey, got you working this, huh?

How are you?

Alright.

Hi.

Hey, darlin'.

What's going on.

Good to see you, Bubba.

You too.

Is Tina coming tonight?

Nah, the guys are killing zombies over at the house, so

we needed a ref, you know.

Yeah.

Where are the feds?

Over there.

When do I get to meet them?

You don't wanna meet them.

I'm gonna go say hi.

She really wanted to come.

Why?

I don't know, but she was insistent.

so what's the assemblyman's story?

I'm trying to get an appointment with him.

It's not that easy, you know. Why?

Why?

You tried getting an appointment with him.

I have to deal with his secretary.

Sorry to interrupt.

Mackenrowe and Agent Scott?

Yes?

Um-hmm.

I'm Olivia Cooper.

Cooper?

Coop's wife.

It's nice to meet you.

It's a pleasure meeting you both.

I hear you're brilliant.

I work in the elementary school.

You think she'll start something?

It's a pretty safe bet. What are you gonna do.

Any idea why there's only twenty-five people here?

I can assure you, I told my class parents and the

school sent out an email announcement, as well.

Well, they probably were just worried they'd miss the season

premiere of American Idol.

It's okay.

We're used to this from neighborhoods like this.

I can understand why you think that.

Sometimes I think that.

Small steps are strides, right?

Nice meeting you both.

Take care.

So what's this guy's story, Bada, the assemblyman?

What do you mean what's his story?

Well, what's his deal? What's he about?

I mean, I'm trying to get an appointment to speak with him,

but it hasn't been easy.

Well, why? What's...oh, here he is.

uh ? Agent Mackenrowe.

Mackenrowe. Agent Assemblyman Bada, Nice to meet you.

You must be special Agent Scott?

Yes, it's a pleasure.

The pleasure's all mine.

Assemblyman, my name is Lieutenant Lidener.

My name is Lieutenant Lidener.

There's some local officers I'd like you to meet here

today, sir.

Oh, okay.

We'll do that, but before we start that, how long of the

day is this going to take, agents?

No longer than an hour.

Well, you can tell, my community already knows that

we're up on the pharmaceutical issue, so -

I actually read about your initiative, Mr. Bada.

Call me Dean.

It's an entirely different - Call me Dean.

Okay, Dean.

This is an entirely different ballgame.

Well, let's get the ship on the rails or the show on the

rails...or the show on the road...uh the train on the

rails.

Mr. Bada, okay, look, I appreciate...we appreciate you

taking the time today, but [I don't think it's been made

clear enough, this drug.

Now, I'm not saying Oxycodone is an addictive, but this shit

is made in basements.

It's just as scary as GHB.

You know what that is?

You don't what GHB is?

No, not really, no - Okay, well you should - Shh, excuse

me, excuse me.

Hey, hey, remind me what this is again.

You know, this shit is made in basements.

About?

About - Are you serious?

Just talk to the town.

[laughter]

Larry, Curly, and Moe.

Laid a trap for me, didn't they?

I thought it was Christmas.

They said it's Halloween.

Are you kidding me?

Back up, would you?

Thank you, sir.

They threw me a fastball.

I was guessing curve.

My name is Assemblyman Dean Bada, and I'm the Assemblyman

for District 3, and I am happy to be here.

Now, I've been told uh we won't take too much of your

time today, but we do appreciate you coming here,

and um we're open to any suggestions, comments, or

questions you might have about this issue.

Now behind me right here, we have Agents, um...

Scott and -- sorry sir?

Lieutenant Lidener.

Lieutenant Lidener, and they're with the Drug

Enforcement Agency.

They want to talk to you about a recent discovery in our

community.

It pains me a great deal to tell you this, but

methamphetamine is here.

Right here.

I'd like to say that even for myself, not that I've I'm a

veteran or anything, but I've seen my fair share of things

between Long Island and Washington, D.C., and...

it's these concerns, drugs and our kids that incited me to

take steps with my pharmaceutical initiative this

last January.

Now it's bad enough when someone is prescribed Vicodin

for no reason at last, but it's quite something else

entirely when our cold medication is...across the

counter cold medication, like Sudafed, are absolute poison.

Now that's why we're here today.

That's why I'm here.

Hope that's why you're here.

That's why they're here.

And as I've always said to be forewarned is to be forearmed,

which is what we are.

Thank you.

Agents.

This is fucking ridiculous.

I hear you brother.

Hello everyone, thank you for coming today.

I'm special Agent Margaret Scott, and this is Lieutenant

Jason Lidener, of the Suffolk County Police Department,

Fifth Precinct.

You're all here I assume due to the recent news that we

were able to uncover what we call stash house for a group

of manufacturers of methamphetamine, and

although this drug is everywhere, we are concerned

that clandestine labs are popping up here on Long Island.

I'll take questions in a moment.

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

How in the hell did a stash house get into our community

and what are you going to do about it in your ivory

tower, Lieutenant?

honestly, ma'am, they're everywhere.

It's the drug we're concerned about.

Go on, Agent Scott.

Thank you.

There are a few things that we need the community to keep

their eyes on.

Okay.

And by all means if you see something, say something.

First and foremost, if there's anything that seems off to

you, okay, about your neighbors, whether it be a lot

of random visitors that you've never seen before at odd times

of the day.

An odd smell coming from their house or even their trash.

Even spots of dead grass.

We'd really like a call from you.

After seeing the outreach of this drug, just being here as

short a time as we've been, we can say that it is a growing

addiction, and it should be a growing community wide

concern.

No, we'll take it.

Yes, Mrs. Hernandez?

Officers, I understand what you're trying to do here

today, but after being kicked out of my own house, I'd like

to know how you're planning on preventing it.

Or are you just gonna wait for all of us to call you?

Mrs. Hernandez, we came to your home because you had a

drug dealer living there, as well as a ten-year-old girl.

Yes, I remember who used to live with me, Officer, but not

every house smells like urine, and not everybody who uses

meth needs to just be arrested.

Yeah, you do.

If they're around my kid, they do.

Agent Scott, right?

Okay, so, you said that meth is everywhere.

That's correct.

So where have you all been then?

I mean, the last time we heard of federal agents on Long

Island was when the terrorism threat was at orange.

Where was the DEA while all these labs were just popping

up?

Or was the growing meth problem not on your list of

concerns?

Local police on Long Island are well trained, ma'am, and

the DEA is stationed right in New York City.

We're doing everything we can now.

Hey, I understand where you're coming from.

I doubt that very much, Officer Cooper, but I do

appreciate you saying it.

You and your niece are better off in a house where

Nikki's not doing business.

Nikki is a good son and a good cousin.

He would never do anything to hurt us.

Okay, but you can't say that about everyone who

came around, right?

Including the federal agents that scared my niece half to

death.

Better them than an addict.

You staying with family?

Yes.

Good.

I'm glad you two are safe.

Family doesn't mean safe, Officer Cooper, and I'm just

as tired as ever.

I understand, Agent Mackenrowe, but I don't

believe meth is everywhere.

I understand your reservations, Mrs. Cooper, but

the facts might surprise you.

Well, you know, Tom, my husband's gonna be coming to

my class to do a presentation on being a police officer.

Um-hmm.

He mentioned that.

Yeah, I'd love for you to join him.

I could go too.

Oh, dear God.

C'mon, seriously, kids love me.

See, everyone else wants it and - Umm.

I'm not...that's not me.

C'mon.

There'll be plenty of bad coffee and stale muffins

there.

Oh, that's very tempting, Mrs. Cooper.

Look, it'll give you a chance to talk to a different

breed then you're used to.

I think it'd be good for you to see.

Joint Ops Surveillance - Day...18 - Unknown Residence

Hi.

Okay, here we go.

Scott?

Feels good in here.

He's in the kitchen.

He's waiting for you.

I'll be upstairs.

What are you gonna do?

Watch the game?

It's a listening device.

Not one I've ever seen before.

That's because I designed it.

Impressive.

Mackenrowe, it's on.

I am linking you in now.

I swear to you, I looked at this house when I

was in the market.

Not a bad area.

Good seeing you.

No more experiments?

I'm kinda surprised.

I expected you guys to have big black SUVs.

Why?

So the whole neighborhood could know we were here?

Good point.

Hey, I heard about your father.

I'm really sorry.

He was a great professor.

The reason I got in.

Not too bad in science either....

What?

I heard you got arrested, Julia.

Is everything alright?

Yeah, it was stupid.

Trespassing.

That is pretty stupid.

Umm, Hey, what was the name of that guy that you always used

to quote?

Think he was a scientist.

Rutherford.

He was a physicist.

Why do you ask?

I was just thinking about that.

In school, you and your dad were obsessed with him.

He discovered the atom's nucleus.

Wasn't even that long ago.

His whole thing was like, 'things aren't just dense, you

know, we not just circles of soup, little dots floating

around in them, there's something that holds us

together'.

I told you the story of him and the Curies, right?

They were having dinner together and Pierre Curie

brought out a tube with radium, lit up the whole

garden.

All Rutherford could see was how fá*áá*áá* up Curie's hands

were from all the experiments.

My dad though, he loved that sá*áá*.

Ten days gone, right?

Most of the time I'm just waiting for us to blow up the

world.

Why do we let junkies tell us things?

She's impressively clean looking for a junkie.

It's not a good enough reason for me.

Or for me Sergeant, I say she's in pretty deep.

So, that's it?

Trespassing.

Nothing else?

Yeah, pretty stupid, huh?

You should be more careful.

I know.

You always make a point to tell me when I'm here.

You should listen.

Just be careful, alright?

You like D.C.?

Yeah, I guess.

See a lot of action there?

I'm not always there, but yeah.

So what do we do?

For what?

If we find the lab?

Call fire department and hazmat.

Scott takes care of that.

I'll tell ya. Don't put a gun near it.

Fá*áá*áá* sáá*á explodes.

Got a kid, wife.

These last few days, I'm thinking...I'm raising my

family here.

Look, Coop.

I don't know you that well yet, but, you know, this sá*áá*s

everywhere.

White, black, poor, rich.

It doesn't matter anymore.

For me, honestly, this is just another town.

Yeah, but this is my town.

You kicking?

Why are you so quiet?

Because I don't want anyone to bother me.

What's wrong with you?

...you're messy as sá*áá*.

What's happening here?

Maybe they're taking a shower together.

Ooh, I get it.

What's she drinking?

Coop, your girl's a cook?

What?

Why else is she serving drinks in the bathroom?

She's cooking.

Alright. Alright.

So, take it easy.

Relax.

Take it easy.

Guys, sá*áá*s fáá*áá*á up.

Dump it. OK.

Break it up. Suffolk County PD.

Did you call them?

Not me.

Everyone stop what you're doing and let us see your

hands.

Are you working with them? Fá*áá* you.

You're working them?

[scuffle]

No, Julia, no. hold..hold it!

W-w-wait. Okay okay!

Don't bring the gun in here!

This is quite the deal you have here.

Hernandez took off down the street, took off right into

our guys.

We got him.

Nice.

Did you guys hear that?

Hernandez basically knocks his girlfriend nearly unconscious

in the bathroom, then runs down the street, right into

us.

Isn't that awesome?

So what the fá*áá* you have going on here?

Hm.

Who the fá*áá* are these two?

Fá*áá* stick number one and fá*áá* stick number two.

Who are you guys?

Who? Who?

Come on!

We were at the bus stop.

Yeah, we were just chilling and everything and he came up

to us and was like 'okay, you want a cigarette?' We were

like 'hang out', and he's got beers and he was going to do

like a party thing, like, like, he came up to us and he

asked us for cigarettes and whatever.

He was like do we wanna watcha a movie or somethin', or

somethin' like that.

Yeah, we were like 'alright, cool man'.

Stop it.

Shut up.

Just shut up.

What do you have going on here?

Test me, brother.

I'm clean.

I will test you.

Brother.

Only a junkie whore cooks while tweeking!

You know what? Shut up.

Just please stop.

Stop with your bullá*áá*á and your bravado.

Alright, just stand there and shut the fá*áá* up.

This is my house.

I have fá*áá*áá* rights.

No, it's your dad's house.

Alright?

We already looked you up.

We know your dad died.

He left you all this stuff.

Nice inheritance.

Nice way to just piss it right down the toilet bowl with your

drugs.

So, just please, stand there and shut up like the freakin

bá*áá*á that you are.

[screams]

You guys don't flush, huh?

This your beef?

Nice house by the way.

Have a seat Nikki.

I want my lawyer.

You have a lawyer?

I'll stand!

So stand.

This is illegal.

You know that, right?

I don't give a sá*áá*.

Suck my dá*áá* cabron.

Later.

So how do you and Julia know each other?

Alright, Coop.

I'm gonna be upstairs.

OK.... Your boyfriend isn't doing so well.

Why's he like that?

Fá*áá* you, that's why.

Now, Julia, stop before you say something you'll

regret....

Does that hurt.

What?

Your fingers.

My kid does that.

You threw me under the bus.

You should be thanking me.

For what?

You boy Lucas is flat out terrifying.

You were joining the party.

Hm?

You threw her around really well to save your own ass

before.

Ella es una puna sucia Come on, is that really, that's not

necessary.

Not necessary.

Who makes your sá*áá* besides Julia Feelgood over there?

I'm not telling you anything.

You don't give a sá*áá*. Agent You're not driving a rickshaw,

Julia.

You're a criminal.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, you are.

You're a user and a cook and we found your prints all over

a bathroom meth lab. Why was Nikki so pissed?

I don't know the mothaá*áá*áá*á.

She knows the guy.

She orders the sá*áá*.

I just bring it.

You sell it?

No.

No, okay.

You use it?

No.

I told you, test me mothaá*áá*áá*á.

You ever seen her sá*áá*.

It's like fá*áá*áá* snorting fá*áá*áá* dick cheese.

I've never snorted dick cheese, Nikki,

but evidently you have.

He deals for money.

Makes good coin.

So he deals?

Yes, he knows everyone.

I just hang out when I'm kickin.

So, listen.

I'm going to cut through all the bullá*áá*á.

This is what I'm going to do: I'm going to charge you with

possession and then because I'm bored, I'm going to charge

you with intent to sell andthen

buttons I found on Julia and I'm going to get her to where

a wire.

She won't.

She might.

What?

You want me to wear a wire.

You want me to work for you.

Fá*áá* that.

I'm not doing it.

I'm saying it pays the bills.

Nikki, Lucas.

It pays their bills. Does it pay yours?

...Give me some more names, I'll let you walk.

Julia, come with me.

We're sort of in the middle of something here.

Pop a squat.

Stand up.

We have something here for you.

Follow me.

Perry

Hi!

again Oh my God, again, again.

What's going on?

[makes baby sounds] .

Hi Mom!

One more time, one more time, one more time. What's this?

Candytown.

We love candy.

We love candy.

Oh yeah, little babies.

What's this?

Candy.

Can we play?

Can we play?

What do I press?

What do I press?

Each one.

One.

Yeah.

Wow.

Oh my goodness.

You're so smart.

It's free!

Did you win?

You won.

Show me, show me, one more time.

What do I press?

Oh, oops.

Oops.

OH.

It's okay!

It's okay?

Wow.

Hey Perry what game is that?

Hm?

That's neat.

Isn't that neat, mom?

You know what would be really great, mom, is if everything

goes well, you guys can hang out more often.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Wow.

What's this?

Hello class.

Do you remember that I told you we were going to have some

special guests today?

Well, they're here.

So let's welcome them.

Come on in.

As I mentioned to you guys, my husband, Officer Charles

Cooper, has been on the police force in Suffolk County for 10

years now and he was nice enough to bring some of his

brave co-workers with him today.

So without further ado, I give them the floor.

Hey guys.

Thank you so much for having me.

I've taken the liberty to bring some key staff people

with me.

To the far left is Special Agent Thomas Mackenrowe.

And this is my superior officer, Sergeant Edward

Billman.

So, I'll go first, if you gentlemen don't mind.

I have been on the Suffolk County police force for 10

years, since 2003.

I actually enlisted to fight overseas after 9/11, but my

eyesight's not that good, so I thought, well, all of those

brave men and women who helped people out of the towers,

being a cop was the next best thing.

Yes, Travis?

What do you do?

That's a good question.

Well, when I started, it was mostly beat stuff, traffic,

noticing the lights were out, but then, guys, it got really

exciting.

I had to respond to distress calls and help people in need.

Every day it was just an adventure, you'd never know

what was going to come at you.

But you had to be careful, enforce the law and help those

who need help.

Did you ever shoot anyone?

You know what, kids, the job is not really about the gun.

Now, I'm sure there are some men and women who come on to

be police officers for the wrong reasons.

A really good cop can go through his whole career and

never take out his weapon.

How do you like that?

Thank you, Sergeant.

No, thank you for having us.

Why don't you guys just throw some questions out and

I'll feel them out as-- Okay.

Okay, Mark?

Are you a real cop?

No, not anymore.

I was a cop and then I left.

I joined the military.

When I came back from overseas, I decided to join

the DEA.

We are a...

Hi, Mrs. Cooper.

Mrs. Reynolds.

I'm sorry we're late again.

It's okay.

Reggie, please take your seat.

Listen, have a great day at school.

Okay Reg?

Remember what we talked about, okay?

Remember what we talked about?

Yeah?

Okay, have a great day, sweetie.

Bye, Okay, Reggie, back to your seat, please.

Thank you.

At the end of the day, kids, we are all here for one

purpose which is to keep drugs away from you, out of your

homes, and away from your families and that's a job

worth having.

Thanks.

Thank you, Special Agent Mackenrowe.

Let's give them a hand please.

Well that went well.

Yeah.

Yeah, they were cute.

They were pretty cute.

They were.

Yeah, that one girl.

Oh, Mary.

Every day she does something.

Yeah, she had a good question.

Mrs. Cooper, what is the situation with the young boy

that came in late?

Reggie?

He's had some problems at home with his family, but nothing--

You're going to want to keep your eye on him.

I think his mother's probably using.

Excuse me.

Well, I didn't think they were going to warm up to us.

Yeah, I think they warmed up to you two guys

rather nicely.

I'm not so sure about him.

Tell Cooper his girlfriend is here.

Is she ready to talk?

Not to us.

What the fá*áá* does that mean?

She won't even open the door.

She looks fried, but she'll only talk to Coop.

Wait.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Do you mind?

Nah.

What's wrong?

I didn't touch it.

Didn't touch it.

I didn't touch it.

Whoa!

I didn't touch anything.

He gave me a needle and everything.

I didn't.

What is that?

It's china white.

I swear I didn't touch it.

I wanted to, but I didn't.

I'll pee in a cup.

I swear, I'll pee in a cup. Where'd you get it?

That's what I have to talk to you about.

... It's a bad house.

I'll take you there.

It's not that easy, Julia.

We need a warrant.

Well, that's not really gonna help anybody.

I thought you guys wanted names.

We can wire you and you can go in.

You and the wiring.

What the fá*áá*?

This is the same guy that taught me how to make paco.

What's...

It's made with the chemicals that make cocaine in Peru.

He sells it to stupid people at cocaine prices

Julia, why is the house bad?

There's a kid there.

She's young and he uses her to sell.

Where'd you meet this guy?

Uh...

Julia.

I've been running, but he gave me the heroin and then he

brought the kid out to show me.

Jesus Christ.

Can we please just go to the house?

Special Agent Scott will wire you and then we will go in.

He calls her his angel.

Coop.

Yeah?

Your girl's contact is a fá*áá*áá*á slimeball.

Yeah.

Look at this.

Pimping back in '97.

How did he beat the weapons charge?

I don't know.

Look at this rap sheet.

We'll get him, Ed.

You got to be a mook to get arrested in Newark.

Holy sá*áá*.

Megan?

You wearing a wire you fucking bitch?

I'll beat the living shit out of you, you cunt.

Huh, you want to fucking die today?

You're gonna die today!

Fuck you I'll kill you.

I will fucking destroy you!

NO! Cunt! NO!

I'll kill you!

[Screams]

You think I don't talk to anyone?

I know you cunt!

NO!

I'm going to cut you and I'm going to cut you nice

and slow.

You're going to feel everything.

Stop it!

Get out of the way!

Go, go!

COOP!

Drop the fá*áá*áá*á knife!

Fá*áá* you!

Fá*áá* you!

No, fá*áá* you!

Fá*áá* you!

Drop the fá*áá*áá*á knife!

I'll cut her!

Fucker, Drop the fá*áá*áá*á knife!

Drop the fá*áá*áá*á knife!

Drop the fá*áá*áá*á knife!

I'll fucking cut her now.

Alright, alright, compromise.

I'm going to put my fá*áá*áá* gun away.

I'm putting it away.

You put the fá*áá*áá*á knife down.

Now just back away.

Back the fá*áá* away.

Back off.

Hey, I got her.

Go, go!

Kids, get inside!

[fighting]

I'm just going to check your eyes. . . .

So it hurts on your forehead?

Your nose?

Alright.

I'm going to give you this ice pack.

It's not going to hurt you don't worry.

It's just going to be cold. Alright?

Wanna just put that to your forehead.

Look to the roof for me for a second.

Margaret is checking the house.

This place is a fucking nightmare.

There's a lot of shit in here.

That guy was fucking terrifying, man.

He really knocked the shit out of her.

Maybe we should cut her a break.

We are cutting her a break, sir.

I found some PCP on the counter.

Well, that explains the mutant strength from Henry.

yeah.

You really need to come upstairs and see this.

Missing persons dropped the parent's case a few months

ago.

She's fifteen.

She's got track marks on her arm.

Hey, give me that, sweetie.

It's okay.

I know that you are scared.

It's okay.

You're safe.

You're safe.

How'd she get a straight edge.

Get out of my house. Okay.

It's over now.

It's alright.

Give it to Ed.

That's right.

That's it.

Give it to him.

Give it to me.

My name is Charlie.

What's your name?

honey get out of there, c'mon Honey, what's your name?

It's okay.

See.

We have someone here to help you.

We're here to help you.

It's okay, honey.

You're almost there.

It's alright.

You're safe now.

You're safe.

You can trust us.

We're all here to help you.

See.

There are a lot of us here.

We're all going to keep you safe now.

Come here baby girl.

Right over here, darlin'.

Come on baby, come here.

[Megan comes out from under bed]

Everything is going to be okay.

[crying] shhhh

[crying] It's alright.

It's okay, It's okay now.

It's alright.

I'm getting real tired of the square dance, Julia.

Nikki says that you sell.

You say he does.

You say he cooks.

He says you do.

One of you had better start telling me the truth so that I

can put the other one in jail.

I work in a lab in Medford.

The stuff I make is Red P meth.

That's the shake and bake stuff?

No.

It's better.

Cleaner.

It looks nice.

It goes in real nice too.

How is it made?

It's a longer process, but we just make batches and batches

of it.

The guy that owns the house, he's a pharmacist somewhere on

the North shore.

I go to him and I buy the stuff that we need and then

Nikki goes in.

How does he control the record of you buying that stuff.

You're going to work with us.

Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?

I, I got it!

You're not going to smoke or inject it.

You're going to stay off that shit and try to get clean.

Agent Scott will urine test you twice a week.

You report to me and Coop.

Is there any way I can avoid talking to you?

No.

You help me put this guy behind bars, I'll make sure

you get your kid back.

You mean that?

Yes...SCOTT!

Hey Chip! Hey, Joe.

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

How you been?

I'm good.

Kind of busy.

That's good.

That's good.

How is it going? Not bad.

How's Daisy doing?

Daisy's doing great.

She misses her sister though.

Oh hey Molly.

Joe.

Well, I tell you what.

Maybe we'll have a play date for them.

A play date.

That would be great.

I think Daisy would be up for that.

Listen.

I dropped the prescription for my mom up at the pharmacy.

Right! Is it ready?

It is in.

yep.

I saw it yesterday.

Okay.

Great.

It's in there.

Come by any time.

I saw it yesterday so . . .

and tell your Mom if she gets that headache bad like before

her doctor needs to hear about it.

I'll tell her that.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate it.

Take care.

See you, Joe.

[change of scene]

[sounds of woman throwing up]

Alright,

who's killing and who's dying, fellows?

I'm killing, as always.

I've died five times.

Well, that's a vast improvement.

Alright guys.

[change of scene]

Hey.

Hi.

There's a plate for you in the refrigerator.

Chicken again?

You have to watch your cholesterol.

I'm telling you, if you don't stop eating . . .

I know.

I know.

I'll thank you for it later.

Anything good today?

Naw.

[change of scene]

Reading in the dark?

Where have you been?

Sorry I'm late.

You don't have to wait up for me Liv.

How many nights are you not going to be around when you

say you will be?

Olivia, this is important.

I know it is Coop.

But your kid doesn't see you.

Yes, she does.

What is this?

It's a book.

I'm supposed to read it.

Does it need to be downstairs?

Because to a four year old this looks like a coloring

book.

Okay.

I'll hide it better.

No.

You're going to stop bringing it home.

No.

You won't talk to me that way.

I'm not bringing anything home.

That is my job.

I get it, Charlie.

I know the story.

A person is different when he becomes a cop than what he was

before.

What do you want?

Do you want to be like Agent Mackenrowe?

You want to not have a wife to come home to?

You want to not have a little girl to come home to?

You don't get it, okay.

This is the first time I feel like I'm doing something

important in seven goddamned years.

I know that.

You don't know that and that's the whole point.

Those people out there that I see everyday they could be us.

I get it, Charlie.

You don't need to bring them in.

You keep bringing them in and bringing them in.

It could be our kid.

No it couldn't!

You keep this shit out of my house!

[change of scene]

Miss me?

Yes, I did, Nikki.

We need your help.

Nah.

I'm not giving you shit.

Come on.

Nikki, we got you out of prison.

We did it in such a way that no one would think that you in

any way would be working with us.

We also put you into your Sunday best.

We gave you some water.

Nikki, you're going in front of a judge in two days.

It's better that you cooperate now than then.

We have it set up so that if you do help us nobody will

know.

Nobody in prison is going to know.

If you don't help, then what happens happens.

Mm?

Well you know what, why don't you take a look at these and

let me know what you think. . . .

Don't you think Julia deserves better?

[change of scene]

Red phosphorus is on a matchbook

and in order to speed up the process Julia is in charge of

removing it for the cook in the basement.

Okay, so here's what we're looking for.

Um, actually let's start with who?

First we know Julia is a smurfer.

Who is he?

He, according to Julia, is Arnold Chip Rybecki.

He is a pharmacist at Giller and Shay Pharmacy in New York.

Don't get up, Daisy.

I got it.

According to Julia he's brilliant.

He makes it all at home.

Nikki.

I'm glad you could make it.

Hey Chip. Sorry I'm late.

Is Julia here yet?

Yeah.

Yeah He gets her everything from Sudafed to herbal extract

pills.

Everything from there on is in-home.

So?

Well I throw away the trash in various dumpsters throughout

the city.

Well, at least as far as he knows.

Let me see it.

You have some on you?

No.

He gives it right to Nikki.

He assumes it just goes straight to the buyers.

What's with the dog?

She's a nice dog.

She's just an extra doorbell, actually.

We usually keep her right outside just because

everything stinks.

So are you guys chemists yet?

Well, I help out in the lab, and then Julia brings the Red

P and pills over.

I know you guys all think this guy is brilliant, but has it

occurred to him yet that he probably shouldn't be doing

this in a basement?

It's summer so he keeps the windows open.

Working with you two in his house he's able to make about

$400,000.00 worth of meth.

You realize that?

Okay, so once they grind up the pills they filter it to

get the ephedrine or pseudo out.

I owe you.

Oh, thank you. . . .

I don't want this.

Take it.

I just want the money, Chip.

That's all there.

Count it.

I'll wait.

No. I trust you.

Hey, keep it.

We're making good.

Then he takes the Red P from Julia and begins the whole

process.

Sounds like a process already.

yeah.

Now I took the liberty of making some photos so that

you'll understand more or less kind of what you'll be around,

what to look for.

Okay lots of glass . . .

These are, um, . . .

these are the pictures from that book.

The only thing I understood from that book.

Okay.

Mechanical stirrers.

Vacuum adapters.

RB flasks.

Tapes. Bulbs.

The whole nine.

Pretty much anything that you see that isn't a wooden spoon

assume that it's 'B' for bad.

Okay?

I also have made some copies that I'm giving out.

Just some more things of what to look for.

Um.

A strong smell of urine or unusual chemical smells such

as ether, ammonia, or acetone.

Large amounts of lithium batteries especially the ones

that have been stripped.

Another thing would be jars of iodine . . .

jars of shiny purple crystals inside of jars.

Because the meth he makes is fairly pure he's able to sell

them for like $150 per gram to dealers, and he gets that

much, if sometimes more.

How much is that in hits?

That's over six hundred hits per batch he makes.

You know, he's making some more tomorrow so we'll be

there all day.

When can we get Chip

I want some more information on him.

Can I have the dog?

I want more pictures of the lab.

It's not as easy as it sounds.

I know it's not as easy as it sounds.

I want more pictures of the lab.

You'll be fine, Nick.

He's not a violent guy.

How many times do I have to hear this douche bag isn't a

violent guy?

A few more times, Agent Scott.

It's a slippery slope sending this guy in there to take

pictures.

The only guy in there with a cell phone is Chip to begin

with.

I want more pictures of the lab.

I don't know how else to say it.

I want everything we have before we bring this guy

before a judge.

It'll be you guys against whatever dealers we can get.

Is that understood? . . .

Good.

Let's go.

So, I will be here until late tonight.

Any questions?

Feel free to direct them my way and I do appreciate you

guys giving me a moment to explain all this.

Thank you.

Guys, I have to take this.

I'll be right back.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Okay.

Hey.

How you feeling?

Good.

Is it any good?

Yeah.

It's real good.

Thought you quit?

I did and then I didn't again. . . .

How'd you do it?

I just realized it was too good.

You should take pictures of the lab.

I don't understand.

You're upset because you're saying you didn't know about

this issue.

Both myself and Lieutenant Lidener have been trying to

speak with you long before our town meeting.

I think that you and Mackenrowe decided to start a

fire with the community because you, you fell asleep

on the job.

Excuse me?

I've been here my whole life.

Drugs is an issue, yes, but Meth labs.

Stash houses.

Come on.

You're the guys that pulled out of Melville post 9/11.

Not me.

Leaving you with the department for counter

terrorism.

But you know, I suppose hindsight is 20/20 and it's

Special Agent Mackenrowe.

Don't worry about how I say names. . . .

you're a stranger here.

Don't fuck with me.

Not here.

This is my town . . .

I don't care.

If all of this is the beginning, the middle, three

quarters.

You fell asleep in the middle of it, but you end this

motherfucker and you end it fast.

You're gonna give me grief, I'm gonna give you grief.

We've been here in this town working our asses off.

Shut the fuck up.

Don't tell me to shut the fuck up.

I said, shut the fuck up.

Who do you think...

Shut the fuck up and listen to me.

Nice.

Go ahead.

Don't fuck with me!

I'm not threatened by you.

I got one last thing to say to your dumb ass.

Okay.

This is not my fuck up or my districts.

It's yours! No one said it was.

It's yours.

So you get off your big, fat fucking ass and do something

about it, or I'm going to call everyone from New York City to

D.C.

and bust every informant you may think you know and you and

that cocksucker Mackenrowe will be the two first names I

name in a hearing.

Now do you understand that, Scott?

Do you get that, Scott?

Now Get out of my goddamned office and do your job!

Don't raise your voice at me.

You want to talk to me you talk to me.

Save your fucking breath, you dumb cop. Right.

You need to be careful who you are talking to.

You'd be surprise who I know.

Or else what?

Or else who the fuck do you think you are?

If I'm not careful...

Who the fuck do you think you are?

I'm the person who's going to sit on your fucking head and

squeeze you . . . Right.

Bada:...and pop your head off.

I'm gonna be the person who puts a bullet in your

goddamned leg.

oh really? C'mon.

You get that right, and don't point your pen at me.

Look, I'm telling you . . . I'd be more concerned . . .

I'm telling you I don't try; I do.

Shut up.

You shrill freaking fraud. And you're a joke.

Shut the fuck up man. Right.

I'm calling security.

Right.

Call security.

Don't worry.

I'm leaving.

There's this dumb bitch in here.

I don't know. She's trying to kill me.

She's terrorist threat...she's an Al Qaeda.

Your boss is lovely, charming really.

Oh, I know.

Jesus. . . .

You smoke?

Sometimes.

We set finally?

Definitely.

We'll have Scott call to arrange hazmat.

We'll get the warrant set for tomorrow.

Good.

The sooner we finish this thing the better.

Is it finally starting to wear on you?

Yep.

Well, if you still want DEA once we're done, let me know

and I'll put a good word in for you.

I'm sure the city could use somebody like you.

Someone like me?

There's plenty of lost causes that need hope in the city

Coop.

We put her in a lab, Mack.

That's how we solve the problem?

How we win the war?

At this point there's no winning the war.

It's just arresting one guy in a basement.

I think I'm going to stay where I am.

Daddy?

That's Me.

[static from wire]

Right there.

Still no good.

You guys getting anything?

Yeah no, not really.

I think it's because we've been getting this static all

day.

Do you think it's the heat or something?

I think it's because they are in the basement.

You should call them.

And say what exactly?

Say you want to see your kids, man.

I don't know.

Just ante up . . .

That's a terrible idea, Nikki.

What about you, Julia?

Would you see your boy . . .

if you could?

Oh, technically I can.

What?

Great thank you.

That's awesome.

No fucking SWAT.

They've been diverted due to a bomb threat.

Great.

Yeah that's going to make this really enjoyable.

I'm going to move up a bit. Alright?

Does that dog ever shut up?

Guys, if Daisy can see you then someone else probably

can.

This is freaking ridiculous.

Aah, guys.

Julia!

I'm coming down!

Sargent drop your firearm!

I need engine and medic at 10 Malone Avenue.

Possible chemical fire and at least three in-house.

Julia!

Julia, we're coming in!

Stop it!

You have a family...STOP!

Come here.

Stay.

You gotta stay out.

Stay back.

Shit!

Christ!

[yells] [coughing]

Okay Officer Cooper.

Round two.

I need for you to speak clearly for us and tell us

exactly what happened?

At approximately 11:30 this morning, 10 Malone Avenue in

Medford was found on fire in its basement.

We had been watching the residence for about two weeks

because it was under suspicion of being a clandestine

methamphetamine lab.

We were going to buy from the cooks this week with the

assistance of our two confidential informants.

Then with their assistance were able to obtain a warrant

for arrest of Chip Rybecki.

Nicholas Hernandez was found dead due to what the

paramedics said was a collapsed lung.

Arnold "Chip" Rybecki is in intensive care with 3rd degree

burns.

Julia Goodhill was found dead at the scene after suffering

severe burns.

There were traces of various toxic chemicals and shattered

glass on her hands, face and within her clothing.

So in your opinion, was there any way this could have been

prevented?

No.

No.

I don't know.

Charlie.

Come on.

Talk to me here.

Agent Scott said there was no way to stop it.

That it was user error like most meth fires.

Maybe we could have gone in earlier.

No one can quit this shit.
