I

He said, this time he's got a banana in one hand, and it's not going to work out.

He says to the priest, you don't mind, would you hold this for me?

And then father said, then what'd he say?

Hey, then what'd he say?

What's he say?

Debris, with the banana guy.

Oh, yeah.

Now you made me forget.

Forgot?

I've been here ten minutes, no punchline.

You forgot?

Look, I forgot.

I gotta go.

I got a long drive.

All right, leave me hanging here.

Banana in one hand.

Forget it.

No!

No!

No!

Did he come back when you're done?

I guess he's got a lot more volume.

Watch commander, watch him pull him in.

Hey, O'Bannon, how you doing?

What are you doing here?

Pedicure, get canceled?

Nice tie.

O'Bannon, homicide.

It's a real mess in there.

You know anyone talk to the peanut gallery?

They don't know nothing.

That makes sense.

A bus takes half a downtown and no one knows a damn thing.

Linda!

Hey, TOEFL girl.

You beat me here every time, man.

Toeflabria.

Is this our bus driver?

CTA's finest.

Jesus, what do you think happened?

Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe.

Ah, cute.

I gotta tell you, preliminary here is very strange.

Can't wait to get him on the table.

How do you get all the way over here?

Uh, signs of a struggle.

Could've crawled.

Who found him?

Two kids.

I don't make nice headlines.

Forget he been down here yet?

Ask me.

I'm going back to hide out at the morgue.

Come on.

Oh, my gosh, Teddy!

Oh, my gosh!

Teddy!

You're home!

How are you doing?

I'm good, how are you?

Look at you.

Mom is going to freak when she sees you.

Yeah, I know.

What about the bean?

Have you spoken to him lately?

Are you kidding?

Alright, alright.

Let me tell you something.

Our brother, look at you two shoes, right?

He's turned into a freak.

Come on, what do you mean?

I mean, like, total freakazoid.

Freakazoid?

Yeah.

Bean, the bean.

Yeah, the bean.

Me, come on.

I'm serious, Ted.

It isn't...

It isn't like he used to be.

He's totally antisocial.

He never looks you in the eye.

The worst part...

What?

I didn't come in the house anymore to check on Mom.

Hold on a minute.

Mom, I guess somebody wants to see you.

Hey, Mom.

Oh, Teddy.

Sit right there, don't you move.

Honey, it's good to see you.

Oh, it's good to see you. You look great.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

You don't have to say that.

No, you take a good look at you.

How's it going down there?

Uh, we'll see, we'll see.

Renewal time's coming up.

Maybe I'll make a change, you know?

Become a civilian again.

I don't know.

Your father would be so proud of you.

Yeah.

Have you talked to Brian yet?

Uh, no, no, no.

I hope to have breakfast with him tomorrow.

Yeah.

See, the beans been cooking up these days.

You have two new messages.

First new message.

Bean, Brian, you there?

It's Brother Ted.

Not going to keep calling you like this.

Me and Tom later today, it's your mom.

Meet me tomorrow at 8 a.m. Pete's Deli and Rose.

Right this.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Pete's Deli and Rose.

Right this.

Second new message.

You're right about Asimov, Brian.

100% right.

Just thought I'd tell you that.

I can't believe they took it.

Shit!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, sorry about the crime scene.

My brother lives here.

Hold on a second.

Preliminous the place has been torched.

I had to impress more so from the waist up.

Yeah.

Better than ID tag on his pants.

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing?

My brother lives here.

No, no, no. Listen.

You can't go back there.

Where's my brother?

Now tell me where my brother is.

You can't.

You can't go back there.

Wait.

Come on.

Let's go take a walk.

Okay?

Let's go down to my car for a second.

Wait.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey.

How are ya?

Well, good considering.

Actually, what's your name?

I'm Tom.

I'm a senior in the law.

I'm an associate of law.

I don't really know how to make money.

I just wanted to talk to you.

What's your name?

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

Tom.

I'm Tom.

I'm Tom.

Tom.

I'm Tom.

Actually, I wasn't expecting there to be so much family here.

I can come back another...

Come on in. Come on in. It's fine.

Okay. Thanks.

You want a drink?

Water, please.

Bet this isn't easy for you.

Yeah, it never is easy for me.

Actually, I was talking about manufacturing sympathy.

All you really want to do is ask questions.

This is my job.

Is your job leading to the press that my brother was a drug addict?

My mother had to read about that in the newspapers.

Hear about it from her friends.

Look, detective, my brother wasn't a drug addict.

He was a good kid. He was a smart kid.

Yeah, so I've heard.

You know what I can't figure out, though?

How such a smart kid who's surrounded by windows,

front door, back door, fire escape,

can't find his way to the fire.

Well, when a fire reaches Flashpoint,

things can happen pretty fast.

Flashpoint?

Please, detective, I saw the debris.

I'm an army ranger. I've been around demolition before.

Well, do you know something we don't?

Because we have no reason to believe it's foul play.

Well, I just gave you two.

Well, listen.

If you need anything or if we find anything out...

I get it.

Look, for what it's worth, I am sorry.

Yeah.

Uh, yes, I can.

Some ash samples came back.

Look at this ammonium nitrate.

And high concentrations of C2 carbon.

Hmm. That's fascinating, O'Bannon.

What about the trace of crystal meth?

Well, I don't think that matters,

because the new information that I found

is that it's not the same thing.

It's not the same thing.

It's not the same thing.

What about the trace of crystal meth?

Well, I don't think that matters,

because the new information that I found is that it's not the same thing.

What do we got?

Uh, traces of crystal meth came back positive.

Yeah, but diagnostics show signs of arson.

Hold it.

Let me ask you a question.

What place are we talking about?

Gage Place.

Jesus Christ. I closed that this morning.

But, Captain, I don't think this one...

He was a crystal meth dealer who toasted himself.

What the hell are we talking about this?

I've got every municipal lawyer licensed in the state

filing suit at the courthouse after that bus

might not have a temple street.

Can we please try to stay focused on the relevant round here?

Okay.

But did you know there were traces of Symtex H?

That's high-class military explosive, guys.

But it's no big deal. Go ahead and close the case.

All right. Hold it. Come here.

Yeah, Captain. What is it?

I want you to follow up on this bus driver.

Huh?

You think there's more to the Gage case?

Fine. It's yours.

Go countless the crack district and find some answers, huh?

Okay.

All right. The best way to solve YN plus 2.

How do we get it? Anybody? Hello. Hello.

Come on. I know you're out there.

Come on. People. People.

If we replace YN with YN plus 1,

then thereby step progressively outwards

to find an arbitrary value of what is it?

T.

All right. Come on.

Chapter 19, questions 1 through 18,

1920 extra credit. If you can do it, I know you can.

Thank you.

Uh, Professor Huergen?

Yeah.

Uh, Ted Gage. Brian's brother?

Oh, my God. How do you do? How do you do?

Sit down, sir.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother.

Not only was he a great kid, and he was.

He was one of the more talented biophysicists

I've seen come through here in a long time.

Um, I was wondering if you could help me out, actually,

collect some of his belongings,

introduce me to some of his friends, or...

Hmm.

Brian's friends were his specimens, his insect collection.

He did a lot of insect research for us.

Um, so why don't you walk me to my next class?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

So, uh, I guess you two were close.

Yeah, yeah. Well, up until recently.

I just can't figure out why he was acting so strange.

It's the past six months. He's coming back to me.

I hadn't seen him in three weeks.

His attendance was really down.

You know, a lot of the students here,

they put a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed.

You have frequent problems with drugs and depression.

Drugs? Like what?

Oh, alcohol, crystal meth, amphetamine, cocaine.

You name it.

You think my brother had a drug problem?

Oh, I, uh...

That's not for me to say.

Is that what you're implying?

Uh...

No, I'm sorry. You know, some of these kids here,

they're destined to be big stars in the technology world

and cure diseases and win Nobel prizes.

Some are gonna just self-destruct.

And I think...

unfortunately, your brother was in the latter category.

Driver's name was Cassella.

Extreme levels of P2 and P3 toxins in his blood vessels,

but almost no arterial blood.

Well, what about the odd puncture rooms?

Did he bleed out?

Maybe. But look at this.

That's nice.

I'm telling you, this is the goddamn strangest thing

I've seen in 15 years.

What is that?

Astriations up and down his legs and arms

are usually a sign of fatal levels of electricity,

like an electrocution.

But there were no power sources where the body was found.

There were no signs of electric current.

Well, there has to be something else.

Oh, there's plenty. What's the real kicker?

All of his internal organs?

Gone.

What do you mean, gone?

Gone. As in, not there.

Heart, kidneys, liver, large and small intestines,

all 86ed.

Jesus Christ.

Oh, wait. There's still more.

Remember that kidney road office of MTF?

Gage?

Yeah.

The toxin level in his blood,

what was left of it, was similar.

Look at the picture.

Same as the bus driver.

I know it's burnt bad, but notice the striations?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm running more tests to see if that is internals.

Removal of organs, electrocution.

Repeated puncture wounds.

I know this sounds crazy, but, uh,

but this seems familiar to me.

You're right.

Well, have we seen this somewhere else?

No. You sound crazy.

Glenn, I'm serious.

I can't remember, but it sounds serial killers or, uh,

I don't know, some, some cult murders.

Right now, I wouldn't rule anything out.

Yeah.

Well, obviously, I'm missing something.

And I've got my homework cut out for me.

Can I take these pictures?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Okay.

Okay.

Where are they being?

Where are they?

Where'd you put them, buddy?

They're on me.

LAPD, freeze.

Put down the light.

Put your hands up and get up very slowly.

Turn around.

We're banning, right?

What are you doing here?

I had a few ideas.

I just wanted to check them out and see if I was right.

What about you?

What are you doing here?

I think there's more of your brother's death.

Ted, why were you headed over here early that morning?

He, um, just wasn't himself.

Okay?

He stopped calling.

He didn't come by the house as much.

So I guess I was just going to give him a good old-fashioned talking to him.

Do you think that maybe he, uh, I don't know,

had a fascination with Colts or something?

Colts?

No.

God knows.

Look, we call them being for brain.

I think it was a genius.

He only had an IQ of 175, you know?

He was supposed to be the professional, the doctor of the family.

Okay.

Ted, look, you've been through a lot.

Uh-huh.

Why don't you go home and get some sleep?

Okay?

I'll keep you posted.

I'll get some sleep, okay?

I'll keep you posted.

Hey, Hardy.

I found some information downstairs.

I've dug through some files and, uh,

found some things that might be relevant to the, uh,

bus driver case.

Yeah?

Look at this.

It's a cult called Trillian.

A cult?

Uh-huh.

And they're into some serious body mutilates.

Yeah.

And they're into some serious body mutilates.

Yeah.

And they're into some serious body mutilates.

Uh-huh.

And they're into some serious body mutilation.

And they also use a lot of electrical torture methods,

the striations on the legs,

and disembowelment.

Well, let me ask you something.

Uh, do I look like I give a flying fuck?

I don't.

No.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

What's the conch now?

You look like Bean used to out here doing his homework.

When is all this?

Nothing.

Just some of Bean's stuff.

Hey, um,

do you think that, um,

or maybe Bean was on drugs?

He wasn't on drugs. Why? Who said that?

Come on. I wasn't born yesterday.

You know that detective asked me an interesting question.

She asked me if I thought Bean was in a cult.

That's what I've been saying.

Yeah, I've having you.

Well, are you thinking to join in?

None of you.

All right.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

It's, uh, probably too big to tent. What do you think?

What you got stored up there?

Uh, rice and grain.

Well, rice is your problem. You see,

you got them up there in those docks

and it's moist and it's warm up there

and that little grain, that's a food product.

Look, you're the specialist. You take care of it.

Yeah, I'll take care of it.

I'll talk to you later.

Well, yeah.

Look at this.

What the hell?

Oh, crap. She...

This is an infestation.

Come on. Come to Pops.

I got something for you.

Oh, you want to play, do you? You little cop shutters.

What the hell?

Good morning.

Everyone got their morning ice-blended?

Good. Now, thanks to Detective Hardy, we've got our first hard lead on the bus driver murder.

Excuse me, the trillion murder. Let's not help them.

Let's go. Don't stand around looking at me.

Let's do it.

You find out anything yet?

Oh, apparently I haven't found a thing.

Well, get yourself together and go and canvass the bus driver's neighborhood.

See if you owed anybody any money or shit like that, all right?

Okay, Captain. I'll do that.

And by the way, why don't you ask the detective of the month about a guy named Tiny Frakes?

What do you mean? Who are you talking about?

Oh, uh, Hardy should know. It's his lead, right?

Isn't that right, big guy? Yeah, thanks a lot.

What is she talking about?

I don't know. Captain, I never know what she's talking about.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, can I help you?

Yeah, you can help me. I'm looking for Tiny.

You never heard of him.

Well, that's bullshit.

Well, you tell me, sister.

I know who you are, Tiny.

This lady, you don't know who I am.

Are they still out there?

Is Trillion behind these murders?

Tell me about taking a person's insides out, Tiny.

Well, honey, you know anything about Big Gaglin. It's the same process, you know?

I mean, goddamn, I know fellows that slaughter their own cattle.

You know, they put a bullet in their head, slit their throat, hang them upside down.

It's easy.

Then what?

That's the good part. See, once you get it hanging upside down, it starts all draining out.

It gets real soft, you know?

If you know what you're doing, just stick your hand up there and you can yank it all out.

You know, of course you can fuck it up if you don't know what you're doing.

Is this a ritual, or is it just some perversion you get your kicks from?

Whatever it turns you on.

I'll tell you what, you take those six kids of Minnesota that fixiate themselves while jerking off.

They all accidentally choked to death in the process.

Then, you know, like a dozen or so other kids around the country, they heard about it,

except they didn't hear about the dying part.

You know, they just heard the part about how fixiation feels real good while you're jerking off.

And they all accidentally killed themselves in the process.

Human beings are an interesting species.

I mean, me personally, I think I'd fuck. I'd just rather be a goddamn cockroach.

Where can I find them?

Oh, well, I mean, they'll find you sooner or later. You won't have to worry about it.

What, is that a threat?

Hell no, I wouldn't threat you.

I like you. I've enjoyed our little talk here.

I like you have a good heart.

You know, I know a lot of people that would love to have that heart in their icebox.

Tiny!

What the?

No!

Hey!

Hey, who the hell are you?

You assholes!

Fuck!

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

This is military intelligence. I've seen this.

Yeah.

Can I help you?

Ted, hi.

So I found several emails.

Yeah, from a Lazarus. Does that name ring a bell?

I mean, one of your students?

Lazarus. I don't think I have a Lazarus in my section. Maybe he's a friend from somewhere else.

No, no, no. The email address was from CityU.

Well, I'll tell you what I do. I'll be happy to run a name check through the school registry.

See if anything comes up. Try to get an answer for you. Just give me your name and number.

Yeah, definitely. Absolutely. Thank you very much.

Let me ask you something else.

Sure. I found some encrypted documents.

They look military, definitely government.

Any idea what that would be?

It's a pastime.

Pastime? What do you mean?

As a pastime away from work, a lot of students, especially these tech students,

they love to hack their way into anything, into banks, big corporations, this school.

You know about this?

Oh, yeah. I try to turn a deaf ear.

It's like if I walk in a room and a kid's smoking pot.

It's a little different, no?

Well, what they'll usually tell you is that they're just keeping the big corporations on their toes,

and they're getting ready for the real big bad boys that are out there.

And they're absolutely right. You know what the most hack place on earth is?

Take a guess. Pentagon.

Well, makes sense.

What I'm saying is encrypted documents are not uncommon.

You know?

Hey, it's Ted. Please leave a message.

Theodore, this is Commander Richard Tompkins.

We need to speak to you as soon as we can regarding your trial date.

End of messages.

End of messages.

Oh, Bannon.

Hey, it's Ted. Gage, you told me Colson came up?

Yeah.

Well, something's come up.

All right. Meet me outside of the Benjamin Club, 6th and Highland.

In 30 minutes. Got that?

Yeah. See you there.

Come on. Get some more in the pot.

What is it, Jackson? Do us this.

Jackson better.

Clarence.

Oh, not now. I'm on the Hot Street.

Don't tell me you're winning.

I'm winning. I'm winning. All right?

I'm telling you I'm winning. So please, not now. All right?

You know I live to ruin your day.

Yo, fellas.

Oh, damn.

All right, all right. So let's be real with it.

I know you didn't come down here to play cards.

No.

I came here to ask you some questions.

Really?

What if I tell you I don't have anything to say?

Clarence, when was the last time you didn't have anything to say?

Me and you go out on a date.

I just may have something to say. All right?

How about this?

We play high card.

Each time I win, you answer my questions.

Each time you win, it's a date.

You are on.

You ready, big guy?

Oh, yes. You better believe it.

Come on, man.

Oh.

Dang.

You know him?

No. Not at all.

All right, man. Show me some love.

Tell me about this kid, Clarence.

I don't know anything about that kid, all right?

All I know is that I heard people calling him Bean.

But was he an addict?

No, he wasn't an addict. He was a manufacturer, though.

You know, he used to make some of the best shit money he could buy.

You know, that math and some of that X, you know, that rave crowd shit.

So why was he taken out?

I don't know.

I know a man didn't have any enemies.

And when it comes to math and X, there is no real territory, you know?

You can pick up a phone and call that in, you know what I'm saying?

Most people bought from my man because they thought he was funny. That's all.

Well, thanks, Clarence.

Wait a minute. Hold up now.

Forget about the date. I want to take you to Vegas, all right?

Man.

They got cameras there, baby.

Oh, my goodness. Wait a minute.

I've been hoodwinked up in here.

Wait, sweetheart, you know what? You're still on me a date.

Rain check.

Oh, rain check?

Girl, this is Los Angeles, you know what I'm saying?

It don't hardly rain out here.

Hey.

What's going on in there?

Nothing you want to know about.

You want to talk? Let's talk.

Yeah, can we go somewhere and sit down?

Ted, I really don't have the time for this right now.

Come on. Let's go grab a cup of coffee. It'll be like a...

Don't say it.

What did I say?

I'll do it. Just don't say it.

I'll do it. Just don't say it.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

I'll do it. Just don't say it.

What did I say?

Get in the car, hot shot, and follow me, all right?

I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything.

So, what's your story, Gina O'Vannon?

You don't seem the, uh...

Static type?

I know.

I can assure you it's not that interesting.

Oh, I'm sure it is going to be.

You really want to hear this?

I would love to hear it. Yes, I would.

Okay.

The only girl that grows up in a family of cops.

Uh, she's constantly seeking her father's approval

so she becomes cop herself.

What she didn't count on is how much she would like it.

Like what? Her father's approval?

No. Being a cop.

Oh. See.

My dad's, uh, passed away.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

He looked long enough to see me make detective.

I can live with that.

What about you, GI Joe Man?

Me? What's your story?

Oh, jeez, I don't know. How long do you got?

No.

My father was military as well.

We were Army Brats for as long as I can remember.

But, uh, he's passed on.

My mother is fighting bone cancer and losing.

And, uh, now this thing with beans...

No, not a banner year at the Gage House.

But it's just the stuff with bean. I just can't let it go, you know.

It just, it just doesn't add up.

Well, I have some answers you might not like.

I have, um, information that your brother was, in fact, a drug dealer.

You know, I don't know where you get your information from.

Okay, on one hand, I got you guys telling me that my brother was some crystal meth dealer who blew himself up.

Okay, and then on the other hand, I got, I got his college professor, this Juergen guy,

telling me that these military-encrypted files he received from some Lazarus is just a hobby.

I mean, it's...

Military encryption? What are you talking about?

Well, this is what I want to talk to you about.

I found some files on a school computer, okay, and they were encrypted.

And now I'm knowing Stein, but the encryption looked military.

The fire inspector found traces of Syntex H.

Military-grade explosives, not the kind of stuff you find in your local hardware store.

See, that's what I'm talking about. This doesn't add up.

I mean, what I need to do is, is to have someone break open those military encrypted files, you know, so we...

Oh, shit.

What?

I gotta go. I'll call you.

The whole thing is enough to make you crazy.

When did it happen?

Sometime early this morning.

Hey!

Nice of you to show up.

Piss off, Hardy.

Oh, I will. I will.

I will in a minute that, uh, appears somebody has lost Tiny Frakes.

I gotta go find him.

So what's the story?

Same MO. This body was definitely dumped here.

What's that?

Some kind of grain or meal sent some samples to the lab.

I don't like to take a leap, but I'd say wherever you picked that up is where he was murdered.

Nice. Smells nice in there, O'Bannon. How long has he been dead? Two? Three days? That's right.

Hey, Bannon!

I got something.

That's a dirty meal, right?

I thought I smelled you.

What's going on, man? Shame to bring.

So what is this I hear? Your green beret? Special ops? All that military hush-hush stuff?

Let's take it easy. What about you? Get a little time and a pen, huh?

Yeah, phone company pricks. You know, they're allowed to nickel and dime you to death,

but then you hack in, you get a little free local service, you know?

And then they want to string you up. Go figure.

Well, they like their nickels and dimes.

James, so why?

Oh, my God.

Listen, I'm really sorry about your brother, man.

Yeah, thanks.

No, he was a good kid.

You seen him much before he died?

No, not really.

Was he dealing, Shane? Was he doing drugs?

Doing? No, no way.

But yeah, he was dealing some shit.

Look, I know it's messed up, okay, but he needed so much crap for his research.

Storage, computers, the works.

Said he couldn't get any more money from the university, so he found his own way.

Yeah, well, um, I got something I need you to look at.

Yeah? Sure.

Sweet.

Very nice.

That's military encryption, right?

Oh, definitely. Yeah, U.S. military.

Yeah, you think you can break into it?

No.

Oh, man, it was good seeing you. When do you think I'll see you again?

I don't know.

Ten? Maybe 24 hours from now.

Alright, thanks a lot.

Yeah, later, bro.

Ow! Are you trying to hit the bone?

Mmm.

This can't be good.

I, uh, just found out how you earned the name Orca at high school.

Oh, great. Thanks, man.

That must have been really embarrassing.

Embarrassing? Please, try being his sister.

Beat it.

It was nice talking to you.

Same here.

Well, I think we should talk.

Alright.

I'm listening.

Your brother's body was badly burned. You know that.

Yeah?

But during the war, your brother's body was badly burned.

You know that.

But during the autopsy,

the coroner was able to make a correlation between the way in which he died

and the Trillian murders.

Wait.

Trillian?

Are you talking about the cult and the newspapers, the ones who were going around disemboweling people?

You think my brother was involved in that?

Look, his profile matches.

You said yourself that he wasn't the same in the months leading up to his death, right?

I don't think you believe a word you're saying.

What about the Lazarus files?

Did you find anyone at the university named Lazarus?

No, not yet.

But we've confiscated Brian's works from the university.

We have a specialist looking on it right now.

Specialist, yeah.

Look, Ted, I came over here because I need...

Hello?

Hey, Ted. Hi, this is Professor Juergen.

Uh, yeah.

I got that information that you're looking for.

There's a student named James Lasinski,

and all the kids call him Lazarus.

Uh, that's great.

Can you tell me where I could find him?

I don't have a phone number, but he lives at 608 High Court Avenue in Silver Lake.

And listen, Ted, I'm not supposed to give out this information,

so don't tell anybody about it from me, all right?

Uh, yeah, thank you. That's great, Professor.

Can we take a ride?

Where?

I think I just found Lazarus.

Well, there's a classmate of my brother's, okay, and they were in the same section,

and they would send tons of encrypted emails back and forth.

Yeah?

Well, I'm saying, if you think my brother held any clues,

this Lasinski will be our closest thing to an answer.

This is Unit 13, Detective O'Bannon.

I need a backup unit at...

608 High Court.

608 High Court.

608 High Court.

Looks pretty quiet.

Yeah.

Too quiet.

It's so banished, though.

Try the door.

You think?

No.

O'Bannon.

Just so we're clear.

So...

So that your statement is clear.

Sir, I can explain.

No, no, just...

The brother of a dead drug dealer told you about this lead.

Is that correct?

Yes, sir.

I got a lead that Lazarus may have been involved

in the, uh, the gauge murder,

and I had to go check it out, sir.

Stop, O'Bannon!

There's something that you need to know about this Theodore Gage,

first lieutenant in the United States Army.

He is up for court martial.

Did you know that?

No.

Did you also know that I have him in a holding cell

downstairs awaiting questioning?

Hmm?

No.

Okay.

Okay, I'm hard on you.

I'm hard on everybody, but we've got two.

Two police officers down.

And it's up to me to explain to more than just the police commission.

Now, what do you want me to say to those kids' families?

I'll tell you what I'm like to say to them.

I'd like to say that the officer in question

is under suspension.

But I've got a cult out there

turning my city into a freak show.

And I need all the manpower I have on the street.

I'm gonna have to turn this over to IAD

for further investigation.

Cooperate.

Yes, sir.

You guys are running around chasing a cult, and I'm saying no way.

My brother Bean, he was into something big,

and he was taken out for what he knew.

And you know, Dan Willow sent us over there in the first place.

Maybe you're right. We'll talk to Jurgen.

We have information from the Army about you.

Tell me what happened, Ted.

It was a regular day.

Dropped off in the middle of nowhere for a routine war game.

Anyway, my squad was captured,

and the other platoons started playing rough.

They started beating up some of my guys,

and I'm not talking schoolyard stuff.

I mean, things were getting out of control.

So I stepped up. I told him they had to stop,

but he went on to listen.

And when I asked the sergeant what he thought he was doing,

he just started laughing.

Now, he was hopped up on something, I don't know,

speed or something.

I knew they were up all night.

Anyway, he hit me in the face with his gun.

And I don't know, I just...

I lost it. I'm crazy.

I wrestled the gun from him, and it struck him in the face.

He's in the hospital. He might not make it.

But you were defending yourself, right?

Yeah, well, it has to go before a military grand jury.

And even though all my guys stuck up for me

the fact of the matter is I still struck an NCO.

And they don't like that.

What about Lazarus?

There wasn't much left of the body.

There goes my star witness.

Listen, Ted,

you've got to stop nosing around in this case, okay?

No, listen to me.

Regetti is out there,

and he wants to put you in a county holding tank

and let you rot there.

What do I want to do?

Absolutely nothing.

What is it that you want?

Look, if you want to hold me here, then do it.

Okay, but you got nothing on me.

Now, if you want answers to this case,

you get my encryption specialist down here,

have him bust open those Lazarus emails,

that's where the answers lie.

We've got our own encryption people.

Trust me, his name is Shane Torian.

He's got a head start on the files now.

Now, do you want to waste time or do you want answers?

Okay, wait here.

Okay.

Yeah, right.

All right, let's get this sequence to try,

and...

Come on, come on.

You can do it.

Good, all right, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

How long does it take?

Hey, it takes as long as it takes, all right?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, here we go.

Bingo.

Where is it?

It's a cockroach.

I mean, it's a blueprint for a very large cockroach.

Cockroach.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Hey.

Hey.

What's up, man?

Well, I, uh, I let a friend take a look at that stuff that you had,

the cockroach schematics, the guy's an entomologist.

Yeah, so what do you say?

Well, I kind of like to take a look at Bean's apartment

and see if there's more information over there.

I don't know, the place is annihilated.

Shane, there's not much left over there.

All the same? I think we should take a look.

All right, Alon.

The hard drives are gone?

Yeah.

This is awesome. This is really awesome.

Shane, what are you talking about? What do you want to find?

You know the kind of experiments that are being done on cockroaches, right?

No.

I mean, serious covert surveillance, genetic engineering, man.

You hook a camera up to one of these puppies,

drop it behind you,

and you're going to get a shot.

What are you talking about? How would you control?

Microelectronics.

You hook up some robotics, you know, anything is possible.

Anything.

The right programming? Yeah, anything.

So Bean and a couple of his friends,

they hack into some highly sensitive government experiment,

and he wants up dead.

I mean, does that make any sense?

I don't know.

I don't know.

See, here's the interesting thing.

90% of the world's biological mass is bugs.

Not humans and zebras, elephants and whales and shit.

Ants, flies, and cockroaches.

It's 90%.

If you could make them communicate,

somehow control them.

You have one serious weapon.

You have one serious weapon.

You have one serious weapon.

You have one serious weapon.

You have one serious weapon.

You have one serious weapon.

You have one serious weapon.

Best of all, they're already there.

Under every floorboard,

building, house,

fucking everywhere, man.

Yeah.

They were students of mine.

That's all.

Let's go back to Tiny Frakes.

I don't even know who that is.

You've never seen or heard of him?

You'll take a polygraph.

I'll take any test you want.

I understand you have a place in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Mm-hmm. You know, it's been in my family for years.

That's where they found the malleys.

Oh, come on.

The campers who trillion killed in 86,

your place is less than 20 miles from there.

You know what? This is asinine.

Professor,

you have two dead students

who were both in your physics section.

Now, surely you can admit

that doesn't look good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um...

There was, uh...

some sensitive work

involved for the government.

But it was

not worth killing over, I swear it.

What do you mean, sensitive?

You know, I-I don't know that I should be telling you this.

But it's not uncommon. It's the way the government works.

What are you talking about?

Let's say that there's a technology

that they want to develop,

like lasers or...

nuclear or clean energy.

You name it.

They take the whole idea,

and they cut it up into smaller parts

of unsolvable problems of physics and math, whatever it is.

And then they piecemeal it all out

to lots of universities all over,

including ours, hundreds of universities.

What do you say? You're saying that the kids

found out something that they weren't supposed to?

Yeah, see, that's-that's the part

I don't understand.

I don't understand it. The only thing

that came through our unit

was a project regarding

insect communication.

I can't tell you how fascinating it is

to try to get bugs to talk to each other.

I can't even get my dog to sit.

This project for the government,

were you in charge of it?

Uh, you know, I think I've said

all I'm going to say.

I don't think I should tell you anymore.

If you want to ask me any more questions,

I should have a lawyer present.

Of course, first I'm going to have to get a lawyer.

Yeah.

I wouldn't want to get Uncle Sam mad at me.

I think that's a good idea.

Yeah.

Because we're going to be seeing you again.

I wouldn't be buying any airplane tickets

any time soon.

No, I sure.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

We need to talk.

Do I know you?

No.

Name's Lazarus.

Lazarus, what the hell is going on?

Don't you come over here.

Tell me what the hell is going on.

I thought you were dead.

Surprise.

Lazarus, what the hell happened to my brother?

Your brother was a genius, man.

I mean, he figured it out.

I can't believe it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. What do you mean, figured it out?

What did he figure out? You're talking to something

to something with cockroaches.

So, you know.

Nice job.

Yeah, yeah, the roaches.

But it's a frequency, man.

I mean, it's all about the frequency.

Is it for the military? Because I saw the files.

Who else do you think it was done for?

Uncle fucking Sam, man.

An old courtesy of the city use physics department.

Talking about Jurgen?

He has got friends, man.

I mean, he's the one that got us all the toys,

all the computers, all the lasers.

I mean, he's the one that got it all for us.

We weren't supposed to figure it out, but we did.

Are you saying that Jurgen had my brother killed?

Why do you think I faked my own death?

I ain't going out like that.

Listen to me. We gotta go to the police.

They'll give you protection.

Are you crazy?

Two cops are dead.

I will go down on murder one.

And that's not counting the federal charges.

Fuck that noise.

I ain't taking the... All right, you tell me.

Tell me, what do you want to do?

Look, I got a hundred grand in the bank.

I will go work at some internet start-up company

some more percent or something.

Wait a minute. Give me that bullshit.

Look, I ain't taking the fall for this.

Calm down. Take it fucking easy.

We're talking about my brother right here.

I need your help. I cannot do this without you.

You have to come in.

We weren't supposed to figure it out, man.

You gotta come in. You gotta come in.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Oh, Hardy, look. You brought your family.

Oh, my God.

Man, what do you do? They sell food out?

Just...

Oh.

Who are you in France?

Not now, Blaine. I'm not in good mood.

Did you get the lab report back from the grains

when they exterminated her?

Matter of fact, I did. Seems she was covered in rice.

Thai rice. Straight from Bangkok.

Yeah, that's great.

See, it sounds like nothing.

This particular grain has shipped into America

through the Port of Los Angeles

and stored in a warehouse in San Pedro.

The warehouse in San Pedro?

Wait.

That was on the exterminator's call sheet.

He was there earlier that day.

Hello?

You'll never guess who I just bumped into.

Who?

James Lasinski, a.k.a. Lazarus.

Tiff, what are you talking about? He's dead.

I'm Bannon.

Gene, I'm telling you, he's alive and breathing,

and he knows what's going on. You have to come see me.

I'm Bannon.

Ted, look, Righetti's calling me.

Hey, isn't it?

Yeah, I'll be there in a second. Ted, look, I'll be back.

All right.

Thank you.

It's Juergen.

It's been that son of a bitch the whole time.

Where's Lazarus? What happened?

I don't know, he ditched me.

Great.

Well, what did he have to say?

All right.

Lazarus and Bean were working for Juergen.

He was using them.

And then when they finally figured out something

that they weren't supposed to, he wanted them dead.

Can't wait to see the look on his face

when I tell him Lazarus is alive, okay?

Because he's holding back. He knows more.

Listen, Hot Shot, you need...

Yeah, go ahead.

It's Righetti. We just found Tiny Franks.

I already brought him in and get this.

We got a full confession about the murders.

It's over.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Gina, listen to me.

I don't care what anyone says.

I don't know who this Tiny Franks is

or what he confessed to.

Okay, Juergen and the U.S. government

are at the bottom of this, okay?

Lazarus is alive.

Ted, stop.

Listen to yourself.

Tiny Franks is a convicted member of Trillion.

He confessed. It's over.

I'm not buying it, Gina.

I know what sounds bad.

I'll head in.

I'll read the confession. I'll talk to Tiny.

I'll make sure we get the right guy.

Don't pull yourself out.

Don't pull yourself out.

Don't pull yourself out.

Holy shit.

Hello?

Hello? Is anybody there?

What do you want from me?

Hello?

No! No!

No!

God, no!

No!

Good morning.

I have a brief statement.

I know you've lost some men.

Good men.

And they won't be forgotten.

But this is the job we have chosen

to protect the innocent people of this great city.

I'm sorry.

Jargon!

Because of your attire,

this pursuit especially detects Harding.

And no matter,

the people of this city will rest a little easier.

A little.

Are you all right?

Timmy!

Good.

Oh, my God.

Come on.

No, we don't have time.

Come on.

Yeah.

Keep it going.

Oh, Bannon?

Yeah.

That Gage kid's on line seven for you.

Yeah.

I'm at Jurgen's house.

Shane's been murdered.

I've got him on the line now.

I think they're gonna finish up the house.

All right.

Hey.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Hardy's...

Hardy's dead.

What?

A, um, cockroach crawled out of his ear.

Cockroaches? Military encryption?

What the hell is going on, you guys?

Wait a minute, listen.

Shane said that insects communicate through a frequency, okay?

Lazarus said that they figured it out.

It's in the frequency.

That's what he was talking about.

Being able to communicate and control cockroaches,

not just one, millions of them.

An amplified electronic frequency.

That's electrocution.

It's exactly what these bodies looked like.

Wait a minute. Cockroaches are killing people.

Actually, the way these bodies were bored out

of these odd puncture wounds, this is all starting to add up.

See, it's Juergen. It's Juergen who is the one behind it.

Those rice grains we found on the exterminator,

they make sense now.

This would have been the food that they needed to breed them.

The exterminator.

The warehouse.

Oh, my God, that's it. That's why it was called in.

The exterminator found out

where the cockroaches were stored and they killed him.

That's why they moved the body.

You gotta find the warehouse.

What do you think you're doing with that?

What do you think I'm doing with it?

You put that away.

Arrest me.

Jesus, Ted.

Excuse me.

Hey.

You loading up on 40 minutes?

No.

What are you doing with that?

What are you doing with that?

What are you doing with it?

You put that away.

Arrest me.

You loading up on 42?

Yeah.

O'Bannon, LAPD.

What's in the crate?

Coffee beans or something.

Whose payload is it?

Look, lady, I understand you have to check it out and everything,

but if I don't get this truck loaded within the hour,

my boss is gonna can me.

You're moving all this tonight?

Every crate. I got 50 in all.

Peru, Perth, Munich, you name it.

We gotta open it.

Look, you wanna open the crates,

come outside and talk to my boss.

It's just around the corner.

Glen, you need to call for backup.

Let's go.

Hello?

Hello?

You're again.

Get me out of here.

What the fuck is going on?

Just get me out of here. Come on.

I wouldn't do that.

Lazarus.

Ta-da.

Come on.

Put the gun down.

No, drop the gun.

War.

Baby here gets it.

Put the gun down.

Listen to her, bright boy.

Please.

Come on.

On the floor.

That's right.

You too.

Miko, park it over here.

No, listen to me. You can't do this. You don't know what you're doing.

You don't know exactly what I'm doing.

This is a weapon that cannot be detected.

In six months,

I will have an army of 600 million

that are willing to do

whatever I tell them to do.

Right, bright boy?

Fuck you.

So why are you doing all this?

What is this for? For trillion? For the cult?

I am my own fucking cult.

Fuck!

You fuck!

You are not going to get away with this.

We are back upon the way.

Oh, I don't think Glenn made that call.

Anyway,

it's time to get in.

No!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Oh fuck.

Go get the son of a bitch.

Fuck!

Ted, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Juergen!

Yeah, Juergen.

Come on.

Juergen!

Juergen!

Juergen!

Juergen!

Juergen!

No.

Now it's over.

No.

I knew I liked you.

You alright?

Yeah.

It's a nice shot.

Thanks.

Roaches?

What?

What are they?

Mother of God.

Mother of God.

That's the blueprint.

What?

Any ideas?

Come.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Fuck you.

Now let's please on an anonymous tip

regarding the cult trillion and its leader,

James Lasinski.

Coming to you live on the scene of an explosion

at a warehouse where it appears

that the trillion case has been solved.

Nice work.

Nice work.

Thanks.

Okay.

Given what you've done here,

I would be...

I would be happy to

testify

on your behalf and in court.

Is that a date?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.
