Original subtitles

All this fuss just to sit on that boat

and eat turkey jerky and talk.

This is a man thing, Ella.

Now, some men beat drums, some men

dress up like Barbara Streisand. Don't ask.

It's a ritual.

You wouldn't understand that.

Alright, you better get a move on.

This is such a big deal, Uncle Mike.

He's never been out of New York.

Tell William, He's got a mind

sharp as a tack, I'm telling you.

And the cop instinct.

He taught you everything you know.

You haven't seen him in three years.

He's like your father. And he's got a great sense of.

- Sense of humor. - So I told you this, right?

Yeah, a lot.

Go, go, go...

Hey, call 911 or security.

Tell them there's a robbery going on back here.

Run.

Help.

Somebody help.

Help. Somebody, please.

- Security. - I'm a police officer.

- What's the problem? - Come on.

Mike.

Mike.

Mike.

Get a ambulance.

Listen, he's got a bruised rib and a possible concussion.

Watch him.

If he gets nauseous, it could be the result of the head trauma.

We found the briefcase in a dumpster near Union Station.

Locks were picked, wiped clean. No prints.

How's that courier?

He died in transit.

Oh, damn it. I blew it.

It's my fault.

I could have saved him.

What happened?

These two jazz bows, they spotted him the minute

we came into the station.

And then they followed him into the parking lot.

And they took $500 off of me and my detective ring.

And I want those back. Jack.

Maybe we can check the pawn shop, son.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll take care of it.

Temple, check with your CI's.

I mean, there can't be that many fences that handle

that quantity of cut diamonds.

I'm on it.

Here, let me help you.

Welcome to Washington.

In furtherance of the mission for which you have been

specially deputized, you agreed to abide by the conditions

set forth in the appointment.

So help me God.

So help me God.

Yeah...

Well, that's it.

You now us marshals.

Thank you, sir.

- Thank you, sir. - All right.

Chicago has agreed to take your deposition

as soon as you get there.

They know we're doing them a favor.

Audrey Livermore.

Scheduled to testify on Friday.

Do not mess this up.

Go.

I just looked over her file.

She's hung around some pretty bad actors.

Don't get too excited.

The clown she's flipping on was delivering pizza.

Yeah, but he's just the first domino.

Audrey sets it off and wins a trip to the

witness protection program.

Look, the only reason for this boondoggle is the marshals

having manpower shortage? I'm going.

Cause I arrested her.

You're along to take her to the bathroom.

I know you're planning a little side trip to see

Claire and the girls.

I'm just warning you, I am taking this job seriously.

Atta, girl.

Chief?

Yeah, Uncle Mike in the kitchen.

They're galing the troops.

Well, his daughter called. She was worried sick.

Okay, I'll call her.

He didn't tell anybody where this going, and at least

we're looking for him. Oh, he's an alpha male.

He's gotta be able to roam.

You can't lock him up.

So this guy yells, nice outfit, Mary.

And Jack kind of gives him the,

you know, the eye.

And boom.

This psycho jumps out of his van and comes at us

with a sawed off shotgun.

You want a piece of me, candy ass?

He yells.

Jack just glares at him.

And I'm dirty in my shorts.

Cause, you know, this guy's huge.

Well, I said to Jack, I hope you got your gun, sweetheart.

Cause I left mine in the car.

Chief, there's something.

Here comes the good part.

Well, now they're nose to nose, huh?

And Jack just looks at him and says,

I'm not who you think I am.

Guy rears back, he starts thinking it,

and then it hits him.

Jack is a cop.

Then he nails him with I am who you think I am now.

Ooh, nice.

Where's a good part?

So did the perp flinch?

All right, Elle, what is it?

Oh, he dropped his shot.

Got jumped back in the van and...

When Sandy called, I told him that Uncle Mike had been robbed and she

- thought that was strange. - Why?

Because he doesn't have any money.

He used her credit card to pay for the train ticket.

He was wanted for murder in three states.

He has no money.

You imagine?

What's the deal with the shoes?

Yeah, the shoes.

- Oh, the shoes. - No, no, no.

That's it. That's it.

Next show. 830.

- Come on, Mike. - Sorry, boys.

I can see you later.

All right, it's time for your pill, Mike.

And, leave the hair alone, will you?

- Morning, gentlemen. - Morning.

Want to take a look at these?

Sure, Chief.

The victim's name was Milton Hirsch, age 58,

from Queens, New York.

He was a courier for a jewelry repair shop.

I spoke to his partner.

He was not carrying any diamonds.

Just down here for the von Roos trade show.

He's a liar.

He might be right.

Last year in the US, there were 231 jewelry salesmen

that were robbed.

Most of them did not report their losses to

their insurance companies.

They're afraid the premiums are going to go up.

They just eat their losses.

Figure it's the price of doing business.

Not in DC.

Baby, baby, that's cold. That's cold.

Good job, Reese.

Temple, man.

Man, you can't be sneaking up on me like that.

What the hell you doing here?

What's up? Tracy.

Reese.

When somebody sees us together, man, my cover's blown.

Does the word confidential informant mean anything to you?

See all these doors, huh? Peepholes.

I tried to call you, Reese.

Where's that cell phone I gave you?

Oh, yeah, well, it busted trash.

It never worked right.

- Take your damn phone. - See what I mean?

I need your help, man.

I like the sounds of that.

An old man was robbed and murdered at Union Station.

You know anybody that can move a large quantity

of cut diamonds, stones?

Nah, man, that's a whole other world.

I mean, Reese could go there,

work his magic, but right now

he's very, very busy.

So Reese, cut all that third person crap.

We know you ain't got two dimes to rub together.

You help me, I help you.

- Can you get behind there? - My price is up.

No, it isn't.

Well, give me one of them cell phones.

The ones that take the pictures.

Make me a better CI.

Hey, man, give me a ride uptown.

Will ya, I'm gonna stay with this girl

while we working together.

She's cool.

Go to hell.

Cops is her favorite show.

It's 11 hours, Paris.

We'll do it in two shifts.

I'll take the first six drives through the night.

Yeah, then I got time to see the girls.

So this is the best you could do, huh?

I know cars have TVs and DVD players and leg room.

We could have flown.

Oops, my fault.

It's my ears, you know, pressure gives me migraine headaches.

So how old? Your girls...

Okay, you're not talking to me. It's all right.

You know, I'm not contagious, honey.

I just like to converse.

They're twelve and ten.

Oh, great age.

Yeah, that's when they discovered boys and makeup and,

you know, start sneaking out and lying and kissing.

All good stuff.

You remember?

Hey, you got nice hair.

You know, you ought to do something with it.

You know, I got a daughter in Chicago, too.

It's my baby Ruth-Ann.

It's the best thing that ever happened to me.

So your ex wife's name is Claire?

Yeah.

Well, you know, that's pretty hard not being able

to see your girls.

I know anything to see my Ruth-Ann

before they ship me off.

Well, they're not really mine, but I was with them

- for six years. - Oh, well, then they're yours.

I don't care who the sperm donor is.

You raise them. You're the daddy.

You got a cigarette?

Of course, they were after his id.

Who's that Jewish fellow?

The courier.

Listen to this.

For trade only...

The van Roos diamond importer company

will be holding a DC gem expo.

Its annual trade show at the Park Plaza hotel.

Diamonds from all over the world will be on display.

That's what they wanted. They wanted his security card.

You know, I'm telling you, somebody's gonna

knock off this trade show.

Okay.

Change the glow plugs the oil and drain the recovery tank.

She's purring like a kitten. Yeah, thanks, Sam.

How about a little off the top?

No.

If you change your mind about selling her, I have

a check in my wallet.

Sell him the boat, will you, Jack?

What the hell you need a boat for anyway?

He's just sitting here taking on water.

Besides, he's a fisherman. He can use it.

Wait a minute. Whose side are you on?

The boats.

Looks good.

Thanks, Sam.

Come on.

You finished with this thing yet?

Almost. Yeah.

- What do you think? - Oh, gorgeous.

Oh. Hmm.

You know, sometimes I look at myself in the mirror

and I don't recognize myself.

So what's wrong with that?

Hey, listen, Mike.

I called Sandy.

She was scared to death.

She had no idea where you were, you know?

She didn't know what was going on.

What's going on?

Well, she had me in a basement, you know?

And it felt like a prison.

There was no air, no. No windows.

And those kids were driving me crazy running around on

that hardwood floors upstairs.

So we can find you another place to live, but you gotta call

her, tell her what's going on.

I mean, what you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

I know what I'd like to do.

I'd like to travel these states.

I've never been out west.

I've never even seen Key west.

Oh, man.

But first we gotta take care of this diamond thing, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna solve that.

We're gonna get these guys because something's going

on here. I can smell it.

Yeah...

You better get somebody on it.

All right, all right, all right. I'll get some people on it.

I'll call Joe.

Tell him to call these people.

Oh, and get me inside too, will you?

Yeah.

I'm the only one that's seen these two, right?

Yeah, Joe, me.

Listen, do me a favor. Will ya.

Mike had a good idea.

Well, yeah, he had a good idea.

We gotta put some extra men on this thing and why

don't you call Ruse. Get it?

[coughs]

And then call me back, all right?

Yeah, I'll fine.

Listen to me, Darlene.

I can't talk right now, okay, baby, I'm working.

I'm lying.

Cop stuff.

It's secret.

Hey, I can't talk right now, baby girl.

I'm a holler back at you later.

This better be good, man. You woke me up.

Get ya cherry up, man. We'll throw some bags around.

I'm joking with you, man. Damn.

What do you got?

The answer to your prayers, brother.

Touch me, I'm smoking.

What do you got?

Be nice to me, shaft.

- Negotiating? - We ain't negotiating...

Nothing. The same deal.

No, no, no, no.

That was regular info, okay? This is premium.

How about I lock your ass up?

Okay, okay. Damn.

I'm getting all rabbit on me, man.

Damn.

I got the name of your fence.

From what I discerned from my peeps, the only dude

crazy enough to handle that quantity of diamonds.

Now, you love me again, right?

I sat on the place most of the morning.

The owner's name is a guy named Albert Duffin,

an ex cop from San Diego.

Storefront sells flowers, but in the back there's a chimney

big enough to hold a smelter that can melt jewelry.

Well, I'm gonna get in trouble for this, but how do you

want to handle it?

Let me ride along with the kid.

Maybe we can get lucky and...

I can id the owner.

Okay with you, Temple?

Yeah, sure, Mike.

Are you sure you're up to this?

I'll bring the coffee.

And none of that lottie lottie crap either.

Gentlemen, the Von Roos security people called.

They said, thanks for your concern,

but they are state of the art.

No way enter out of their facility

without their knowing it.

Now, they're gonna take the courier's name off the list.

And they've offered to pay for the shipping

of the body back to New York.

Let me ask you, is there any one time when all the diamonds

are held in one place?

Well, I asked them that before the banquet.

After the show, they kept in a vault in the basement.

That's when they'll hit Jack.

Just like the Broadway arms.

What's the Broadway arms?

Broadway Arms hotel.

July 82, New York.

Four guys rob a jewelry convention to get away with

10 million in diamonds.

And real pros, huh?

Free security guys got whacked.

Jack and me took the case.

It was cold before we even got there.

What do you want me to do?

We should handle it, Jack.

All right. He's right.

Tell him to put his name back on the list.

We'll see who shows up?

You got it.

Oh, Jack.

Oh, this is wonderful.

Be back on a case again with you, man.

- Like old times. - All right, Mike.

All right, now, listen to me.

I don't want to curb your enthusiasm.

You're not back on the case again.

It's not like old times.

You are a material witness. That's it.

All right,

Well, of course.

Of course.

Okay.

Of course.

And so he just waltzes in, as big as life, and he shoots her.

And I'm standing there.

I mean, he's so plastered, he can't see it, but

thanks to him, tomorrow will be my last day on earth

is Audrey Livermore.

There is a God.

After that, it's just, poof, I disappear.

A whole new life, you know?

Whole new name, address.

Really weird.

Where'd the counterfeit bills come from?

Oh, well, Otto sent me those.

Cause I was in Washington, I couldn't find a job.

But Otto did not know that those were bogus.

Who's Otto?

Who's Otto?

Well, Otto's just the love of my life, that's all.

When I say love of my life, I mean love in every sense

of the word, not just the horizontal

Otto owns a little bar in Chicago.

I mean, it's nothing to speak of, you know, no big

shakes, but it's a really sweet place you can sit, tie one on,

you know what I mean? Otto.

And I've been going at it for 20 years, and I am not lying to

you, Kevin, when I tell you that not once has he left me

or his wife anything but limp.

You know what I mean?

So, are you two an item?

- Uh, no. - Why not?

You pretty?

- I'm not his type. - Oh, yeah?

You're kind of the married to your job type, aren't you?

- I can tell that. - You can?

How?

Well, you know, you don't care how you look.

I mean, I'm just the opposite end of the spectrum, you know?

I mean, my looks are all I got.

So, how long were you a stripper?

You mean an exotic dancer, right?

Well, up until my snake died.

Saddest thing you ever saw.

Uh oh.

Heads up.

Is this the best you could do?

I heard that, old man.

You got to feed them Temple. They get cranky.

What'd you find out?

There's one guy in the back.

He don't match your drawings.

There's another wasted brother out front.

He got buzz.

I mildly interrogated him, and he said that there's no ice

that he's heard of, and the [indistinct] full shaft in the fat man.

Yeah, well, that just ain't smoke coming out

- of the chimney, you know? - You know what, man?

We're gonna stick it out, all right?

It's your time.

Oh, just don't take photos. Peace.

Who this? Kathy.

What's up, girl? Huh?

Yeah, hold up, hold up.

Am I done?

Kathy, put that food on right now.

Cause I'm on my way over.

What a waste of money.

You can't be serious.

Way ahead of schedule. Paris.

What's it gonna hurt, huh, if we get caught?

My career and all I've worked for?

Not much.

Look, all she wants to do is see her daughter, say hello.

Ten minutes and we're out of there.

- Right, Audrey? - Right.

Ten minutes. That's all.

You're the big shot, Detective Dobrino.

You don't need my permission.

That's the spirit. Come on, let's go.

- Ten minutes, right? - Ten minutes.

Ten minutes.

Great.

I can't go like this.

I need some clothes.

You got something she could wear?

Okay, we are looking for 1207.

Not bad for an exotic dancer.

I think it's not bad for a cop myself.

There it is.

Um, would you two mind if we took these off

for just a little minute?

Could you do that?

I won't go anywhere. Promise you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. That's it.

Oh, I feel so much better.

Thank you, honey.

Hope she's home.

Oh, my, Lola. How sweet.

You say hi to grandma. Oh.

Oh, my sweet diamond. How are you?

Lola, go to your room. Go on.

Go on. Oh, sweetheart, how are you?

Hi.

How you doing, sweetie?

- What'd you do this time? - Oh, nothing.

Oh, nothing, honey. No lie.

No, no, no, sweetie, sweetie, sweetie.

I'm testifying at a trial, and I'm going into the

witness protection program, so I'm not gonna be able to get in

touch with you for a while, so.

Does it have to do with me?

Well, I just.

I just.

I would want to say goodbye.

Oh, goodbye.

She's got a few issues to work through.

Well, okay, let's go.

I'm gonna put her back on me.

I'll keep my end of the deal.

Give my jewelry back in. My granddaughter.

Darling. Is she a sweet thing?

She gave me such a hug.

My daughter's pregnant.

Gorgeous girl.

You know what you need, Audrey?

What's that, sweetie?

You need a drink.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, that sounds good,...

Sir.

Hmm.

Is that him?

That's him. That's him.

I remember that pushed up face.

Okay, Cutter, we got our guy.

Get ready to move.

Roger that.

Listen, I'll go around back. You take the front.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sir, sir, sir, sir, no disrespect, but the Chief

specifically told me that you need to stay in the car.

So I'm gonna have to ask you to stay in the car, sir.

I'm going around back.

Blow your kidneys out.

I called you. I wasn't.

Boy, we're really in a basement here.

You want to give it to me?

What?

Come on, give it to me.

I should have known that kid was going to tell you.

What were you thinking?

Well, it's my case. I wasn't.

Just sit in the car, you know.

No, you could have hurt somebody.

What are you, crazy?

Yeah, I taught you how to shoot, remember?

That's why such a lousy shot.

Why, you dirt bag.

You ain't got sense enough to wipe himself.

I'm telling you, somebody's at the top pulling his strings.

Come on, Jack, let me get in there.

I'll give him a turban in he'll never forget.

Hey, Mike, Mike, you know we don't do things

like that anymore. Come on, you know that.

Hey, Chief, we turned his place upside down.

He was melting down jewelry, all right, but no diamonds,

just antiques.

I can't look anymore.

My suspect.

Where's my lawyer?

Everything Yossi had in his pockets.

Let me check and see.

Maybe we can find his friend in here.

That's a catering pay stub.

He worked there part time.

They said they haven't seen him for a few months.

Hmm.

Chewed up pencil.

What's that say? M I T H.

MITH.

Who gives out pencils anymore these days?

Doctors? Attorneys?

Not that I know of.

Yeah. Blacksmith.

Nah, locksmith.

They used a pneumatic bolt cutter in the Halliburton case.

Don't just have to be registered.

That's right. They're the only ones.

You're allowed to use them. So locksmith could be our guy.

Yeah.

All right, Joe, why don't you get it down to Francis,

see what they come up with.

This guy Yossi, he's the inside guy with a catering job.

All he has to do is knock off the power, open the door,

let the others in, and they knock off the guards before

an alarm could be sounded. How about that?

Now? How's that shaping up, huh?

- Huh? - Yeah.

Huh?

That's shaping up there.

Otto,

I heard you were testifying.

Don't talk. It's.

Just hold me.

Come on lets dance.

Hey, come on, you two, get out under the dance floor.

Come on. Don't make us dance alone.

Get out of here.

Come on. Barry.

Come on.

There you go.

All right.

You want to coke?

If you'd like to leave a message for Claire,

Ellie or Kristen, please leave a message after the beep.

Okay, party's over. Let's go.

Audrey.

Did you leave a message?

Hey, let it go.

Let's get her to court.

I'll give my depth position and we can get the hell

out of here. Come on, Audrey.

Bye.

I'll miss you.

I'll be coming home.

Wait for me.

So if y'all get a postcard from Rosebud.

That's me. It's my new stage name.

That's cool.

Eh, catchy.

You like that? Yeah.

I'm trying to think of a last name.

I'm thinking maybe.

I don't know, it's tough. Maybe Kennedy.

Rosebud Kennedy kind of sounds legit, don't you think?

I could come from a large family and moving up in class.

Got that right. Damn.

Why did I meet you guys? A long time ago?

We all could have been cops together.

You, baby.

If I could have given you Claire, I woulda.

Y'all gave me Otto and it was worth every mile,...

Right?

You'd a loosen up, girl.

Come on.

Hey there.

You nice looking.

Like your hair.

Go ahead, call them.

Say hi.

Please tell them we're here.

Oh, Mikey.

How. That damn snake ate my dog.

Shot him.

That's how he died.

Excuse me.

Do you have to fidget?

Sorry.

I, uhh.. just can't relax.

Really?

You always seem so laid back.

It's an act.

Inside, I'm a mess.

You're so full of crap.

Thank you.

You know, you're not a bad dancer.

Is that an invitation?

Damn, you got moves there, sister.

All I need is a snake.

Audrey's rubbing off on you.

No, it's the beer.

So, where to tonight?

Chasing a fantasy.

You and Uncle Mike been having fun?

You know something?

For the first time in my life, I'm glad I'm not him.

Look at us.

Look at us.

Oh, we're still hanging in there.

- You betcha. - Yeah.

Is this something like that hero said?

- Let's roll. - Let's roll, baby.

Have fun.

It's a good thing we got here early.

Just as well,...

Jack.

Yeah.

That's where they're going to come in.

- Right there. - Up here.

The first wave.

They'll scared the hell out of everybody.

Believe me.

They'll scared the hell out of everybody.

Yeah.

Hold on, now, you could hide a man

underneath there, couldn't you?

Huh?

Okay.

You see, I figure the way to get these men in here.

I make it out to be about eight men.

Total.

You know, there'd be five men to hold a people hostage here

in this room and three guys to go down the basement,

- blow the safe. - Yeah.

How'd they get out, Mike?

The same way they came in.

They'll just walk the diamonds right out the front door.

Yes, sir.

And they'll take the diamonds out under a bed of oysters

right to the front door.

What's this look like, huh?

Diamonds.

Come on, lighten up.

It was just a kiss, that's all.

We were both a little drunk.

You were feeling sad about Claire.

End of story.

No, listen.

I kissed you because I wanted to kiss you.

End of story.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Manion

yeah. Mm hmm.

We got him, Chief.

We found the rest of the jewelry.

We found Mike's ring and a locker.

That's all the guy keeps saying is no diamonds.

No diamonds.

There never were any diamonds.

I don't follow you.

No, I'll tell you about it when I see you.

Thanks, Temple.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Jack.

Jack. I saw them.

Up there in the skylight.

There was two of them. Two shadows.

Jack. They're up there.

This is it, Jack.

Now, where are the guns?

Where are the guns, Jack?

Where are the guns, Mike?

Jack.

Jack.

Jack.

Mike I'm right here.

Right here.

Right here.

They all go.

Come on.

No diamonds, Mike.

When did you know?

He took my gun?

You always hated guns.

You always jump into those conclusions so, so easily.

You always taught me, never trust a guy

who was that positive.

But why did you go through with it?

I wanted to be wrong.

When did you know?

I.

I get all confused,...

Thinking I'm seeing

what I want to see there.

How long has it been going on?

I figure...

I don't know.

I don't know,...

You know,

you get old, and...

And, all you

got left is the memories.

And pretty soon

that starts...

Turning you around, and...

And all I wanted to do

was to just be in the game.

Just the end of game.

We caught two bad guys, all right?

I couldn't have done that without you.

You're the best damn cop I ever knew, bar none.

You gonna send me back?

I can't let you go off by yourself.

Yes, you can.

Worrying about me, where I'm gonna live, or whether I've got

the money to pay for the wheat.

Tea, that's gonna be dribbling off my chin

after another three years.

That's not the way I wanna spend my life.

I'm alive, damn it.

I'm alive.

And I wanna stay on my feet for.

For as long as I can.

You should zip up your pants.

You'll never change...

What's all this?

Uh, I have to find an apartment.

Ella.

Where's Uncle Mike?

- Uncle Mike is in the keys. - Florida?

- Mm hmm. - Why?

Gonna catch a marlin, watch

sunset and drink margaritas.

Hey, Dobrino. Hey.

How'd it go?

Piece of cake.

Okay, find out what happened.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
