- Mmph!

- Unbelievable.

It'll be on every channel just
in time for the 6:00 news.

This guy's an artist.

It's not enough he cuts her throat,
but he tortured her first.

Goddammit!

Is there any ID?

Kseniya Batalova.

Born in Moscow,
another Russian girl.

Black rose, this is our guy.

Get a translator,
find out what that means.

I gotta go
talk to the press.

- Read it, Matt, go on, read it.

- I did, sir.

- Out loud.

- "Hollywood Police Department
stymied by serial killer.

Murderer runs wild
with impunity."

- You hear that?

The press is calling
us inept, stymied.

You like that?

- Frank, we tried
to interview dozens

of Russians in West Hollywood,
but that community shuts down like a clam.

They speak little or no English,
or just don't wanna talk to police.

- I am well aware of the
obstacles you all face.

So, we're gonna
try something new.

I've spoken with the mayor,
and I'm bringing someone in from Moscow.

- An outsider?

Captain, we have translators.

I know a guy in Van Nuys has
a PhD in Slavic languages.

- By the way, we translated the note
you found on the dead girl.

It said, you were
sent to me by God.

Now, does anyone
know what that means?

Matt, you know what it means?

That's what I'm saying.

We don't need
another translator.

We need someone that will
bond with the community

to help gain our trust
and give us some answers.

That's what we need.

- With all due respect, we don't need
another Russian beat cop

interfering with
our investigation.

- Investigation?

We've got five dead bodies
and no perp.

What investigation?

I want this son of a bitch and I'm gonna
do what it takes to get him.

- Sir, this is my case,
I'm in charge.

I've been in charge since the
beginning of this bastard's--

- Not anymore!

From here on in, I'll be
spearheading the operation.

You and that Russian guest officer
will share equal footing,

and I want you to
cooperate with him.

I want all of you to
cooperate with him.

Now sit down.

Sit down!

- Sir, with all due respect,
if you bring in a Russian on this case,

I think it sends out
the wrong message.

It says that we can't solve this
crime, without outside help.

- That's not what it's saying.

What it says is that we'll do
anything we can to help that community.

It sends them that
kind of message.

It tells them that we don't
want another Russian girl dead,

and we'll do anything
to help them.

Am I clear?

- Yes, sir.

Okay.

Mom, I'm bored.

I should have gone to dance class.

Hey, where are you going?

On the floor!

Money in the bag! Fast!

Don't move!

Don't move!

You can't escape. Surrender!

To hell with it.

- Stop!

Damn it!

Auto Radio here,
we have breaking news...

there is a hostage situation
at Leningradsky Prospekt in Moscow.

You, stand up! Stand up!

Give me a car...

...or I'll kill someone
every three minutes.

Stay calm.

Don't hurt anybody, okay?

Auto Radio here, breaking news...

One hostage has just been killed,

and the suspects
are demanding an armored car.

Don't move! Don't move!

Dammit!

Hello.

Who the hell are you?

- Bad business?
- Worse.

Let me see what I can do to help.

What are you doing?

You will get everyone killed!
I'm in charge here!

Stop!

Stop, or I'll kill you.

I'm Major Kazatov, Moscow Police.

Can I see the hostages?

No, just give me a car.

I'm unarmed, can I go in?

Okay.

Thank you.

You're either really brave or really stupid.

You're waiting for
a bullet-proof car...

...but the police
need some time to get it.

Why not let the hostages go
and keep me instead?

Watch.

Eat this!

- Name?
- Polina.

Let's go.

Her name is Polina.

I will kill her in three minutes.

As you wish.

Thank you!

What did you do?

I'm the commander here!

You asked to see me?

You are all dismissed.

You stay.

You were told not to do anything
until I arrived.

You deliberately disobeyed
the Field Commander's orders.

Those guys would have killed everyone
if I did not intervene.

Yes, you got lucky again.

I don't know how you do it,
but if things would have gone bad

you could have jeopardized
the whole operation.

But that wasn't what happened,
was it?

You're not going to work here
in the department for a while.

I'm not going to work here anymore?

Not here.

Let's get some air and talk about it.

You're being transferred.

Am I going back to Tula?

No...

...you're going to the United States.

America?

Yes.

California, the city of Los Angeles.

Police problems.

Russian girls are being murdered.

The killer is proving elusive.

Why me? I've never been there.

Because you speak English.

And I hate to say this, but...

...you are the best we have.

- Thanks.
- And don't screw up!

- Okay, I won't screw up.
- Good, and don't forget sunblock.

The sun is brutal!

- California.

- California.

- And you must be
Vladimir Kazatov.

- Yes, sir.

- What the hell do they
feed you people over there?

Is that all from
borscht and caviar?

- Nice to meet you.

- Antonio Banuelos,
career homicide cop.

I'll be your partner, and I'll also be
your cruise director in Los Angeles.

It's a city of little angels,
you know.

- Thank you, nice to be here.

- Take your bag?

- Yeah, thank you.

- Right this way.

So, you ever been to the States?

- No.

- And, you're from Moscow?

- Yes, I am.

- Hmm ...

Probably don't get to see
an ocean very often, huh?

- Correct, in Moscow
we only have river.

- Aha, so what do
you say we swing by

and check out the
big bad blue Pacific?

It's on the way.

- I would like that.

- Plus, I can show you my
favorite body surfing spot.

It's got a freakish gnarly, sick beach break,
one of the best in the world.

Would you like that?

Cool.

- There it is, Major.

- I'll go down,
and check it out.

Ocean was so nice.

Hollywood, I guess it's
different than in the movies.

- Yeah, it's different
than the movies.

You know, everyone says that,

'cause folks outside of LA,
they don't see what we see.

You know, the underbelly of Hollywood,
Tinseltown, is not that pretty.

We unfortunately,
see what happens

to all the people
who come out to,

you know, make their
dreams come true,

the stars
and the starlets.

Those stars don't
quite get to shine.

It's actually pretty sad.

Right this way, amigo.

This is where it all happens.

Watch commander:
burglary, vice, narcotics.

Lieutenant: robbery, homicide.

- Who is this guy?

- And now, the chief.

Right this way.

- Thank you.

- Major Kasakov.

- Nice to meet you, sir.

- You come very
highly recommended.

Impressive credentials, Major.

Tony, the Major was former
Russian Special Forces.

- It is me who impressed, sir.

I did some background
check on you, ex-Navy Seal,

Iraq, Afghanistan, tough
cookie is you, Americans say.

- Looks are deceiving.

- I was in Afghanistan myself,
sir, saw a lot of pain.

- Looks like we've both been around,
and we're still standing.

- It's an honor.

- Please, please sit.

You know, I understand
Commander Romo

has filled you in
on the situation.

- Yes, sir.

- The bottom line is
the Russian community isn't talking to us,

so it's my hope that they'll be more inclined
to communicate with you.

- I'll do my best.

- I'm sure you will.

You have any questions?

- These victims, they're
American citizens?

- No, they've all
been here on visas.

There was one other thing, we believe
that the perp may be Russian.

- Why do you think so?

- He leaves cryptic
messages in Russian,

and also a, well a black
rose as his calling card.

So, let's get you gunned up.

Here you go, you'll fill
out the paperwork later.

- Excuse me, but do you
have anything bigger?

- Matt.

- Sir?

- Come on in, come say
hello to the Major.

- Major, Matt Robinson.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

- Uh, sir, that's a list of Russian immigrants
I compiled that fit the profile.

- Good work.

- Anything you need, Major,
Tony knows where to find me.

- I hope this is better.

- That'll work just fine,
thank you.

- Okay, why don't you guys bond,
get him something to eat, some supplies.

Let's get us a killer.

- Sir, this way.

- Thank you, sir.

- Ah, so I'm gonna
get us a couple

of tofu seaweed
alfalfa smoothies.

- Tofu what?

- Ha ha, you're gonna love 'em.

- Help!

- Stop, stop!

Give me that purse.

- Shut up, shut up!
- Help, help!

- Hey, what are you doing?

- You want
some of this, hero?

- It's okay, it's okay.

- Vlad, what the
hell are you doing?

- Sorry.

Thank you.

- Great.

- You're in town less than a day,
one man dead, another crippled.

What do you have to
say for yourself.

- There were two bad
people hurting the woman.

What else could I do?

- How about using
some restraint?

- It was hard, they
attacked me with guns.

- Is that how they do
business in Russia?

- No, that's how I do business.

- Captain, do you hear that?

That's how I do business,
that's crazy.

With all due respect, sir,
you're gonna have to find him another partner,

'cause my jacket's got
enough color already.

That guy is a walking internal
affairs investigation,

not to mention
getting me killed.

I don't want any part of it!

- He's got two
years til retirement.

He wants to see his
grandchildren grow up.

Can you blame him?

He's a good man,
but I can't tell you how happy I am.

I need someone pushing
the line, balls out.

Nowadays we have criminals,
lawyering up,

pissing on the leg
of the whole system.

All this bullshit with
political correctness?

You keep doing
what you're doing.

I'll watch your back.

They got more rights than
the victims, nowadays.

- Not in Russia.

- Seems like Russia's
becoming more like America,

and America's more
like the Soviet Union.

- In some ways.

I brought you gift.

That's for you, from Russia.

- Ah ...

Vodka.

Spasibo, Major.

Sir. My pleasure.

- It's a damn fine label.

- Looking for a good time?

- It looks
as if the serial murderer's

still at large in Los Angeles,

and labeled the Black Rose
Killer, has struck again.

Another young Russian
American woman

was found in a warehouse
district earlier this week.

According to police sources,
this is the fifth such murder in the last year.

♪ Well time and time again
the memory of you just

♪ Unfrozen like your heart I do

- Please, don't hurt me.

♪ Don't look my way

♪ Don't look my way

Please, please.

I promise!

Please, please don't hurt me.

♪ The devil has the final say

- Kill number six,
what do we have on her?

- We have a name.

- Anna Vechkina,
22, she's Russian.

- Sorry I'm late, Captain.

- Gentlemen, this is
Detective Emily Smith.

She's a profiler from LA Metro.

Well, Detective Smith, this is
your new partner, Major Vladimir Kazakov.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- The pleasure's all mine.

- Yeah, well, you'll
have a lot to catch up on

as you're both new
to the department.

Don't be late again, Emily.

- I won't.

- I am Matt Robinson.

Don't mind him.

- Antonio Manuelos,
good luck.

- Okay, now that the introductions are
over with, let's get on with this.

He's getting more confident,
he's intensifying his kills.

He's brazen, and he
keeps taunting us.

- LA's quite the melting pot,
huh?

- Yes.

- Would you like
to save your soul?

- It melts, that's for sure.

We're going to a place
called Chuberechi.

It's in West Hollywood,
last weekend worked over there part time.

- Yeah, I know the place.

So, what part of
Russia are you from?

- Moscow.

- I've never been out of the US,
born and bred Valley girl.

- What does it mean,
Valley girl?

- Oh my God, like duh.

Like, let's go to the mall,
let's shop, and totally hang out.

- Hang out?

- Yeah, just cruise dude,
and chill, and whatever.

- That's how
Valley girl talks?

- Yeah, isn't it, like,
totally awesome?

- Awesome is not a
word I would use, but it's interesting.

- Vasiliy Nikitin?

- Yes?

- We'd like to ask you
a few questions, if you don't mind.

Have you seen
these girls before?

- Never.

- No, that's not what we heard.
They're Russians.

- Ha, you think I know every
Russian woman in the city?

I'm Hugh Hefner?

- I no longer feel nice.

Do you know her?

- Yesenia, she worked for me.

- See it's a miracle,
he got his memory back.

So, what did she do when
she wasn't working here?

- I don't know.

I know she used
to go to the club

over there on Matto,
with other working girls.

- The club?

- All the Russian girls go.

- This club have a name?

- It's Black Sea.

- It's good.

- Thanks.

Damn you both!

What did he just say?

- He said you have
beautiful eyes.

- Yeah, I'm sure that's
exactly what he said.

Do you drink anything
besides orange juice?

- Not usually.

- Vodka?

- No alcohol.

- You're Russian,
how do you not drink?

- Just no interest.

- What do you think of
our American hamburgers?

- That's pretty good.

- Yeah, a lot better than that
whatever you call you ate at Vasiliy's.

That smelled like grade A crap.

- No, no, no, no, no,
that was rasstegai.

My mom used to make it.
It's fantastic.

- What's in it that
makes it stink so much?

- Fish.

- Oh my God, fish in a pastry?

I think I'm gonna hurl.

- Hurl?

- To be sick.

- You know, I'm trying to understand why
a killer tortured them before he kills them.

- He's a sadist.

He either enjoys it or he
has a compulsion to torture.

- You mean, he might
not like hurting them?

- Sadistic personality
disorder, SPD, it's a mental illness.

Now, other disorders
that are included in SPD

are bipolar, depression, panic,
histrionic and borderline personality disorders,

OCD,
and passive-aggressive behavior.

- My new partner is
walking encyclopedia.

So, there is a big question.

Why does he kill them?

- Well, let's assume he enjoys
torturing the women before he kills them.

This would be consistent
with the classic profile

of a serial killer, interested
in pain and death only.

Now, so far none of the
girls have been raped,

so our killer doesn't derive any
pleasure gratification from sexual violation.

- How does this
information help us?

- To isolate motive.

85% of serial killers are men.

88% of them are white.

Now, unlike most other crimes,
you can really profile a serial killer.

- You say most, but there's
always exception to the rule.

- Correct, and unfortunately this guy
could be that exception.

- Perhaps along the way,
Russian girl did something

that made him mad, and
that's why he continues

to kill one type of victims
over and over again.

- As payback for a perceived wrong
against him by a Russian woman.

- Maybe.

And why the black rose?

- Symbolizes death.

- Black roses are rare, yes?

- Quite.

They're actually a very dark red,
they just look black.

And they only bloom
twice a year for 15 days.

- I've never seen one.

- That's because they only grow in Halfeti,
a small village in Turkey.

- Interesting.

- We should get
back to the station.

- You go, lunch is on me.

I wanna stay and
look around a little bit.

So, I'll see you later
at Black Sea club.

- Okay, thanks.

I'll see you then.

- See ya.

Hey.

- I thought you were big.

- I hate feeling small.

- What can I get for you?

- More like whom.

We'd like to talk to your owner.

- Um, she's not here.

- So, we'll talk to you instead.

- Do you know her?

- Yes.

Oh God.

I mean, I knew who she was.

I don't know her personally.

But she came here often.

- Did you ever talk to her or did you
see her come in with anyone special,

like a boyfriend?

- No, I never saw
her with anyone.

Like I said, she was a regular here,
but we never talked.

- Stop bullshitting us.

Where's your owner?

- Okay, come with me.

Natalya, there's a
policeman to talk to you.

- Hello, I'm the
owner of the club.

How can I help you?

- We need some information.

- Sorry, I don't serve it here.

Maybe you should
contact my lawyer.

Horrible.

But what can I say?

I heard about what happened,
but when you see it,

I guess you didn't
expect to look like this.

- Can you give us anything?

Boyfriend, friend, pimp?

- She was a loner, like most of the girls
in your line of work.

- Alright, well, if you can think of anything,
please give me a call.

- Okay.

- A lot of beautiful women here.

You could have a field day.

- I'm not searching for
that when I'm working.

- An admirer of yours
sent this to you.

- Who sent this?

- He ...

He was right there moments ago.

- What does it say?

- Keep sticking your neck out.

Pretty little neck that
just might get cut.

What did he look like?

- I don't know.

- How do you not know
what he looked like?

I don't believe you.

- I don't know, he grabbed my
arm when I was passing by

and told me not to look at him.

He just handed me the rose

and told me to give the glass
of champagne to the lady.

I was afraid not
to do what he said.

- It could be anybody.

- What can you tell
us about this guy?

- Uh, that is Warren.

He's worked here for years.

- We need to ask
him some questions.

- That's not possible.

- Why not?
- He's mute.

- That doesn't rule him out.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

- Okay.

You, what else can you tell me?

- Tomorrow, we'll go back
and see our friend Vasiliy at Chuberechi.

- Yeah.

Where's your apartment?
I'll drop you off.

- It's the corner of
La Jolla and Sixth.

- It's pronounced "La Hoy-ya."

- "La Hoy-ya."

It's right here.

Thanks.

- No problem.

- Hey Emily,
he knows who you are.

Just sleep with
your gun loaded.

- I'm way ahead of you.

Good night.
- Good night.

- Oh my God!

I am begging you.
♪ Time and time again

- Please stop.
♪ The memory of your charms

- No more please!

What can I do?
♪ Are frozen like your heart

- I'll do anything!

Anything!

Just please stop!

Ahh!

♪ Your evil eyes

- Ted Bundy.

He would charm women with his boyish smile,
then rape and then kill them.

He was arrested in 1977,
only to escape and kill again.

Number of victims?

- 30.

- Supposedly, he confessed to even more
the night he was executed.

John Wayne Gacy.

Drugged his victims, handcuffed,
raped them, then strangled them.

He buried most of
them in the backyard.

Total number of victims?
- 33.

- Gary Ridgeway, worst
serial killer in US history.

He eluded justice in 2001.

He would kill prostitutes.

When he was given a polygraph test
by the police, he passed it.

Finally, DNA got him.

Total number of victims?

- 49.

- 71 confessions.

- Yeah, but uh,

it was estimated that there
were over 90 victims, right?

- Right.

- Then we have Chikatilo.

- Worst killer in
Soviet Union history.

Official number of victims, 53.

Unofficial number, around 70.

- All smart, clever,
unpredictable,

and dangerous with a
thirst for killing.

You guys put yourselves
in the eye of the storm.

- We'll use it at our advantage.

Eventually, he will move
against one or both of us.

- And when he does,
we'll have him.

- I want those on my
desk as soon as possible.

Looks like bringing you to Los Angeles
wasn't such a good idea.

Shut it down.

I want the press kept back,
okay?

- As long as we're on the case,
people will continue to die.

Looks like our killer knows me.

- No shit, Sherlock.

This makes you a
liability to this case.

- Or an asset.

If he's tracking the
Major and myself,

maybe we can make
that work for us.

- In poker, I believe
there is a face.

Sooner or later,
he will show his hand.

- Major?
Can I show you something?

- Excuse me.

- You know, you're good,
but you're green.

- Excuse me?

- I'd watch your
back if I were you.

Did a little checking
on the Major.

You might wanna ask him what happened
to his last partner in Moscow.

- So the victim profile
has officially changed, along with motive.

The killer is targeting
us and murdering everyone.

- Vasiliy definitely
knew something.

Last victim worked for him
and he had ties to Black Sea club.

- So we'll go
there when they open.

- No.

We go now, before they open.

- Oh, a little cloak and dagger.

- Cloak and what?

- Anyway...

Vlad, what happened to
your partner in Moscow?

- I don't want to
talk about that.

When we get to Black Sea, let's pull
around the back so nobody can see us.

- Okay.

You know this is illegal?

We don't have a search warrant.

- I didn't know I needed one.

Remember, I'm not
from around here.

- So this is how you
do things in Russia?

- No, this is how I do things.

- I hate clubs.

- Me, too.

Let's to go the bar and
check out over there.

I'll go to the office.

If you need me,
don't be afraid to yell.

- Yeah, don't worry,
I will.

Kazatov!

- Bang, bang, you're dead.

- He slashed our tires.

- Ooh.

Should I call the Captain,
or do you want this honor?

- Be my guest.

- I can't believe
it happened here.

What were you doing here?

- We received a tip that
one of your employees was in danger.

- I don't have any idea
what he was doing here.

- You knew Vasiliy and
the other victims, didn't you?

- I don't know what
they are talking about.

- I also know you're running
a prostitution ring out of this place.

Looks like it's finally
catching up to you.

- You don't have to talk to us,
but your club's gonna be shut down

'til we get some answers.

Our plan is working,
we're drawing him out.

- He's going to start
making mistakes,

and one mistake will
eventually finish him.

- Let's hope the mistake
doesn't hurt one of you.

You acquitted yourself well
in the field today, Emily.

Being fired upon is
not an easy thing.

- Thank you, sir.

- I also know that you have
limited field experience,

so I am thinking that you should
man the operation from headquarters.

- I'm the bait,
I have to be out there.

- Captain, with all due respect, sir.

I will not feel safe without
Detective Smith's partnership.

She knows how our killer
operates, I need her.

- That's exactly what I
wanted to hear from you both.

Okay.

Now this waiter,
he was a petty thief,

no felons or misdemeanors,
worked at the Black Sea.

You spoke to Natalya?

- Yeah, she really didn't
give us much of anything,

so I think we need to go back
and push a little harder.

- I think we should focus the
investigation on the Black Sea.

- Hey.

- You scared me,
what are you doing here?

I didn't tell
them anything.

- Hey.

Sorry, but we need to
talk to your owner again.

- I'm sorry, she's not here.

- What's your name?

- I'm Sandra.

- Sandra, where can we find her?

- I don't know.

She called me a few hours ago, asked me
to meet her here to help clean up,

and it isn't like her
not to call or show up.

- Are you okay?

- I'm scared.

Why would anyone
do that to Gary?

He was just a waiter.

Funny how life is.

Things are simple, one moment,
like that.

- Were you close to
that waiter, Gary?

- No, but he was a human being,
and that poor girl who was killed,

she didn't deserve to die,
she wasn't a bad girl.

Do believe there's a life
after we die, Detective?

- Yes, I believe there is
something after all of this.

- I envy you that.

- You call this
number anytime, okay?

We're here to help.

When Natalya shows up,
tell her to give us a call.

- Thank you, I will.

- Bye, Sandra.

That girl Sandra, strange,
very philosophical.

- She's scared, rightfully so.

Listen, Vlad, thanks for backing me up
with the Captain today.

It really means a lot to me.

- You do your job well,
you're an asset.

- Yeah, but you didn't have
to if you didn't want to.

Detective Smith.

Hello, Emily.

I have someone here who
would like to speak with you.

♪ Hell has cast its spell on you

- Help.

Help me, please.

He's going to kill me.

- Who is this?

- Natalya Ovnanovrestikov.

- Natalya, how can we help you?

I'm afraid you cannot help her now, Emily.

Isn't that right, Natalya?

- Don't kill me, please.

Yes, keep begging, whore.

It's good when they beg,
gratifying on very primal level.

If I was sexual deviant,
I might even be aroused.

- Please, let's just talk.

Done talking, time for dying.

- No!

A little cream and one sugar.

- Thanks.

Looks like Natalya had a hand
in getting all the victims their American visas.

She brought them over
and sponsored them

by letting them
work at her club.

Could be something, or she could
just honestly be trying to help them out.

- What about the black roses?

- I tried to track any roses
that might have been shipped from Halfeti,

but they can't survive
the transit from Turkey.

- So, where does he get them?

- I don't know.

- You know, the fact that all the victims,
they were not raped, is unusual.

All serial killers, before
they kill their victims, they rape them.

- Yeah, that's right.

- So that one, maybe he can't,
maybe he is impotent.

- It could be an added component to his cruelty,
self-hate, self-flagellation.

- Hey, Banuelos, you
got that report yet?

Morning, comrade.
- Good morning.

- Captain wants to see you two,
and don't be late.

Hey, Emily, I heard what happened,
it's hard the first time.

Don't worry, we'll find her.

- Come in, please have a seat.

Does this look like the
shooter's getaway vehicle?

- Yes, that's it.

- It was reported
stolen about a year ago.

We found it this morning.

Forensics shows that there
was blood in the trunk, no fingerprints.

- Do you have a DNA
match with Natalya?

- No, but there is
one for the waiter.

Emily, I'm taking
you off the case.

What?

No.

You threw me under the bus?

- We're doing this
for your own good.

- I can't believe you did
this to me, I trusted you.

- Hey, Emily.

Hey, Emily.

- You have your story,
well I have mine.

My father was a detective
and he was shot down in the line of duty.

I slugged my way
through the academy,

and office politics for years,
and I don't deserve this.

- Our killer wants you now,
it changed everything.

- It changes nothing, Vlad.

I'm a cop, I'm supposed to put
myself in the line of fire.

That's what I signed
up for, just like you.

- I can't lose a partner.

- You lost more than a
partner today, Major.

You lost a friend.

Detective Smith.

Detective Smith.

Hello, Emily.

- You bastard.

That's the spirit.

You know I have become an
admirer of yours lately.

I want to help you.

- Help me do what?

Stop me from killing and find Natalya.

I want to meet you tonight.

But you must come alone.

If I see you with police,
there will be consequences.

- Where and when?

You know Paradise Nightclub?

Hollywood Boulevard.

Ah, good, good.

I will meet you there
midnight tonight.

- He wants to meet me tonight.

Alone.

- Where?

- Club on Hollywood Boulevard.

- I can't let you do this.

- Would you do it?

- It's different.

I'm much more experienced.

I've been put through
bad situations before.

Besides, Captain just
took you off the case.

- The Captain
doesn't have to know.

Would you do it?

If you had a chance to nail this
sadistic son of a bitch, would you do it?

That's what I thought.

- Okay, if we're gonna do it,
we're gonna do it right.

I'll watch you all the time,
and remember this guy, he's unusual.

Methodical and smart;
very smart.

- Then our job is to be smarter.

- What can I get you, sweetie?

- I'll take a water, thank you.

Yes?

Are you alone?

- You know I am.

- Big man
not around to protect you?

- I told you I'm alone.
What now?

You look nice tonight.

- Let's cut the bullshit,
shall we?

- Watch it.

I give you compliment, and
this is what I get in return?

- Why are you doing this?

Doing what, Emily?

- Killing innocent people.

They are not innocent.

They are parasites.

Low-life pimps and whores.

Vasiliy was cockroach,
and the waiter was scammer.

These low-life whores are festering cancer
to society and will not be missed.

- These women were just trying to survive
the best way they know how.

Do you know

how many jobs are
in Los Angeles?

And these low-life whores and immigrants
just want to open their legs.

Why?

- What about Natalya?

Oh, Natalya.

Natalya is gone.

What she has placed...

This is an inequity.

She sells prostitutes for money.

I don't think she
cares about girls.

- Maybe that's true.

But is it worth
killing someone over?

You tell me.

You want to see Natalya?

- Yes.
Yes, very much so.

You need to powder your nose.

- What?

- Your nose.

Go powder it.

- That's not good.

- Natalya?

You son of a bitch!

You wanted to see the bitch.

I left you a little treat.

You lied to me, Emily!

- What are you talking about?

I told you to come alone.

But isn't your partner
standing next to you right now?

I will have to think of fitting punishment
for you, Emily, you lying whore!

Emily.

- What?

I know where you live.

- Are you okay?

- No, no.

No.

- That is not good.

- You think?

- Hey, you don't take
it out on me, rookie.

You're not even
supposed to be here.

Captain's gonna love this.

Kid's had a tough day.

- She's not a kid.

Today, she's a professional.

You should remember that,
Detective.

- I'll keep it in mind.

Detective.

- This guy is good.

Too good.

He knows our every move.

He's always one
step ahead of us.

And if he knows where you live,
we're going to my place.

When you spoke to him, did he tell you
anything that could help us?

- He's playing God by killing
those he deems unfit to live.

- He knows you.

Which means he's done
some kind of background check on you.

- You're right.

And he was able to get my
private cell phone number.

Gotta be missing something.

- Welcome.

- Um, I'm just thinking that
when he killed Natalya,

I was listening, terrified, and,
and I remember her voice,

and how scared she was.

He was speaking
to her in English.

If they're both Russian,
wouldn't they be speaking Russian?

- I don't know, maybe.

Maybe not.

- This whole time, we've
been looking for a Russian.

- It's maybe not, possibly.

- Yeah, maybe he just wants
us to think he's Russian.

- Remember those notes
I translated to you?

- Yeah.

- Very poorly written with
many grammar mistakes.

- So he's familiar with
the Russian language, but not proficient.

- Would you like water?

- Yeah.

Hey Vlad.

- Yes?

- What happened
to your partner in Moscow?

- I don't think
you want to know.

- Then I wouldn't have asked.

I told you my story.

- It was a very bad
day about a year ago.

Me and my partner, Xave,
we worked at Wegener,

which is west side of Moscow
in a rough area, known for drug trade.

It was suspected big deal.

I should have waited
for help to arrive, but I didn't.

You go there. Me, here.

So, I sent Xave
upstairs in the back.

When I saw him again,
he had a gun to his head.

The drug dealer told me--

Drop the gun!

Either surrender my weapon,
or my partner dies.

- What did you do?

- You never make any
deals with criminals.

That's rules of operation.

That's my motto.

But, Xave was my friend,
so I made an exception.

I surrendered my weapon.

Calm down.

But he didn't let him go.

Hold on!

He shot him, and he died
in my arms that day.

- Vlad, I am so sorry.

- I'm not losing
another partner.

We're gonna nail
that son of a bitch.

- Damned right we are.

Thanks for being
there for me tonight, partner.

So this is your partner?

- Yes.

- You two were at a
train station in Moscow?

- What's your point?

- We don't get that many trains here in LA,
especially late at night.

When Natalya called, I heard
a train in the background.

The killer called using
Natalya's cell phone.

The grid from her phone was
a 28 square mile area in downtown LA.

- Which they've got
phone records on your cell

as to exactly what
time the call was made,

and then, we get the schedule for the last train
that run through that cell grid--

- Right, and wherever the
train was at that time

will be close to where the
killer commits his crimes.

- Which is true if he kills
all of his victims at the same place.

If he jumps around--

- Trust me, he's got
a base of operations.

- Not bad for a rookie.

- I have my moments.

- No ...

Please.

I gave you what you wanted.

I gave you the cop's
phone number.

- Did you know that you can
create false black rose,

by putting a red rose
in a vase of black ink?

A rose absorbs the ink
and slowly turns black.

Just a thought.

- Hey Vlad, you may wanna
take a look at this.

According to the MTA,
there's a Union Pacific train

that passes through our
grid at the same time as the killer's call.

And, the exact time of our call,
the train would be passing by this location.

- Harbor Ink Factory.

- Yeah, yeah, it's been
shut down for years.

Now it's just a big
abandoned factory.

- Let's go.

- Alright.

Yeah, this is it, this is
the old Harbor Ink Factory.

- See, that's brand new.

- Well--

- Black ink.

Did you hear it?

- Yeah.

I'll go around this way.

- Be careful.

Good, good, good, good, yah.

Oh, good, good, good,
good, good, good.

More, louder!

Yes, we have guests.

Louder, louder,
good, good, good.

- Drop your weapon.

It's you!

- Congratulations, you found me.

- I guess now we understand why murders
never stopped under your investigation.

- Come on, Emily,
join the party.

- Hey, step away from the girl.

Drop your weapons, we still
can all walk out of here.

- I don't think
that's gonna happen.

I'm not going to jail,
you know what happens to cops in jail.

- Oh God, I don't wanna die.

- Shh, it's alright, baby,
it'll be all over soon.

- No one's going to die.

- Don't you lie
to her, you whore.

- It's alright,
baby, it's alright.

You see what happens? Huh?

Someone is gonna die.

Now, I'm ready for that,
but are you ready to have

someone die on your watch?

I don't think so.

So, let's go with
option number two.

You drop your weapons,
I give you the girl, and I walk outta here.

- I'll never surrender
my weapon, pal.

- Well, that's not what I hear.

Is it, is that what you hear?
No, it's not, is it?

Isn't that how you lost
your partner, Alexave?

- You expect us to trust you?

- Alright, let's go
with option number one.

Please!

- Drop your guns
or I finish this!

Do it or I cut her!

- Please,
just don't do it.

- Okay, okay.

- You too, down!

On the ground!

- What happened, Matt?

Did she hurt you,
did she cheat on you?

- Don't try and
profile me, Emily.

- She lied to you.

- Put it down, on the ground!

I swear, I swear I'll do it.

- Was it your girlfriend?

Your sister, or your wife?

- Wife, I never had a wife,
I gave her everything.

- But you trusted her.

- I offered her a new life,
and you cut my heart out!

- Did your father
sexually molest you?

- Shut up, put the gun down,
on the ground!

- Is your mother a whore?

- Don't you tell my
mother's a whore!

- Sandra, can you hear me,
can you hear me?

It's okay, you're okay.

You're safe, you're safe.

We're gonna get you
to the hospital.

- I want to apologize,
to the both of you.

At a certain point,
I had a feeling

the investigation
was being corrupted,

so I needed a team that
was outside the department.

About three years ago,
Detective Robinson transferred

from the San Francisco
Police Department.

At that time we gave him a
customary background check

and found that he
traveled to Russia.

It didn't mean anything then.

- I guess that explains why he could write
and speak a little Russian.

- While he was there,
he hooked up with Natalya.

She was operating a mail order bride
operation out of the Black Sea.

He was hoping to obtain a wife,
instead he got hustled.

- He felt used by Russian women.

That was his blood revenge
for abandoning him.

- And when Natalya became a
liability, he killed her too.

He killed anybody
that got close to him.

That's the guy I
should have profiled.

- He's very good at covering his tracks,
and burying his past.

People from the inside do
that better than anyone.

It's a sad day when one of our own
betrays everything we stand for.

It's an honor, Vladimir.

Only wish you'd stay
and work with us,

but I know your
heart's in Moscow.

- Thank you, sir.

- Good work.

Banuelos!

- We did it.

- I guess so.

- Was I a good wingman, Vlad?

- The best I ever had.

- The best you ever had?

- The best I ever had,
and most prettiest one.

- Are you hitting on me, Major?

- No, not yet.

No, my English is not that well.

- Well, you don't need English
for the language of love.

- I hope so.

Would you like to go to Moscow?

- Yeah, you think
you could show me around?

- Anytime, partner.

- Excellent,
just don't make me eat

those fish cakes, okay?
They stink.

- I don't like them either.
I was pretending.

- Let's have a hamburger and an orange juice.

How about that?
