All language subtitles for The SHIELD - S04 E05 - Tar Baby (720p - BluRay)

ACEVEDA: Previously: I'm Sara.

David.

ACEVEDA: I'm interested
in getting together.

Some precautions
we need to take.

I need you to proposition
me so I know I'm safe.

I wanna be with you. Sexually.

I'll pay you,
just tell me how much.

We've been on your
office shit list

for six months.

What if I promise
to control her?

I need you to look at a guy.

A drug dealer named
Maurice Webster.

I don't sell to children.

Now y'all wanna lock me up

for three plants.

Federal asset forfeiture laws

will now be enforced
in Farmington.

Agang sells crack out
of their back room,

we're gonna take that home.

The effectiveness and fairness

of these seizures aside

you're doing a bad
job selling it.

If I set up a public forum

where you can present your plan,

will you come? Sure.

What are you hearing in
juvie about Antwon Mitchell?

Shane's been cozying
up to the guy lately.

Just takes one
anonymous call to 911,

you feel me?
Oh, yeah, I feel you.

[GRUNTS, GROANS] ARMY: Hey, hey.

Tell Antwon to come
pick up his dogshit.

Antwon Mitchell,
as I live and breathe.

Paid in full.
With a little extra

to make everything all right.

WOMAN [SOBBING]: No, no.

No, no.

Please.

[MAN GRUNTING] WOMAN: No. No.

No... No, God.

[SCREAMING]

Don't... No, don't do this.

Don't. Let me go, let me go.

Don't do this.

MAN: Shut up. Shut up!

WOMAN: Oh, God!

Let me go. Oh, God...
Oh God, you're hurting...

You're hurting... No!

[MAN GRUNTING] WOMAN: No!

No! You're hurting! No!

[MAN GRUNTS] WOMAN: No.

[MAN GROANS] WOMAN: No.

No, God! No!

[MAN GRUNTS] WOMAN: No!

No.

[CALMLY] Not so hard.

I told you, no bruises.

[CRYING] Stop. Oh, God.

Please, don't do this.

Please, don't do this. No.

[SOBBING] No.

Oh, God, don't do this.

[GRUNTS] Please. No.

SARA: You wanna say Thursday?

I'm not sure.

Oh, uh,

before I forget.

I love Neiman's.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I have the perfect pair

of shoes to go with this.

From now on, though,

get a gift receipt.

Um...

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

What we do together
is important.

Whatever it is or why,

that energy has to come out.

Buying into the shame is what's wrong.
Not what we do in there.

In there's what
the gifts are for.

Not the small talk.

Next Thursday's fine.

RAWLING: I don't need to tell
you what drugs do to our streets.

You live with it every day.
The purpose of this meeting

is to outline new initiatives

that we're taking
to change things.

To lay out the facts,
dispel rumors and get your input.

I mean, if any of you have
any ideas of how we can

be more effective,
I'm listening.

So, what are you
gonna do so different?

I mean, because all these
years, I heard a lot of talking.

CROWD: That's right.
That's right.

And all I see is more
sidewalk chalking-.

CROWD: Yeah. Right.

RAWLING: I agree with you.

For every dealer and
banger we put in jail,

three more take his place.

It's because the
culture of wealth

that's been created
by the sale of drugs

has sent a very clear message
to our kids: "Now hiring."

I think putting more
officers on the street

will make it harder
to do business.

Increased gang intervention.

Restored and expanded
after-school programs.

I mean, kids have to
have a place to go to.

They have to have things to do.

Also more aggressive
drug education.

It all can work.
It just requires patience.

JEFFERS: How long
we supposed to wait?

CROWD: Yeah. That's right.

You know, we didn't have

the resources before
that we have now.

These new policies allow
us to confiscate property

that's been paid
for with drug money.

We're taking the dealers'
profits and using it

against them to
improve your lives.

I think it's time
that they pay the bill

for all the pain and
suffering that they've caused.

[CROWD MURMURS]

[POLICE RADIO SQUAWKING]
BILLINGS: Romeo Barnes.

Took a head shot, close range.

Romeo, poor Romeo.

Witness here works at
the methadone clinic.

Says he saw our victim
and a black female

arguing with another black male.
Few minutes later, heard shots.

Saw the shooter take
off on a motorcycle.

All right,
let's start up a canvass.

Have DWP check the storm drains

in case he tossed his piece.

Let's talk to methadone man.

So you saw the shooter book?

Yeah,
I know I said that earlier,

but just to be clear here,

I didn't actually see
anybody do any shooting.

Right. You recognize the guy

driving off on the bike?

Never seen him before.

What about the woman
he was arguing with?

Never seen her before.

Victim?

Never seen him before.

Hope you're not counting on me
to be more helpful than that.

Wouldn't dream of it.

God bless you. And thank you

for cracking down
on these gangsters

so my kids can go
to school one day

without being afraid
of getting shot.

CROWD: Yeah. That's right.

[APPLAUSE]

But aren't we creating
a bigger problem?

White police officers

have been swarming
on our neighborhood

since day one.

MAN: Yeah.
And now they wanna take

the black and the
brown man's property

if they think he's
up to no good.

Now, it should be
noted that Mr. Mitchell

is a convicted felon who
spent 13 years in prison

for distributing crack cocaine.

Excuse me. So you don't
believe in rehabilitation?

What you're saying is
the police can change

but a brother can't?

Rehabilitation presumes

that a person's
behavior has changed.

Oh. Tried and convicted again

by judge and jury.

See,
but the problem with this is

the police aren't a
jury of our peers.

[CROWD MURMURS]

I grew up in Farmington.

It was an okay place to live

until the summer of 1984.

That is when the crack
cocaine epidemic hit.

WOMAN: Yeah. Turned this place

into something else overnight.

That's why I became
a peace officer.

To help to bring Farmington back
to the place that I remember.

Now, look,
with God's help and your support

law enforcement is a solution.

We are not the problem.

[CROWD MURMURS] MAN: Sell out.
Keep talking.

David Aceveda,
city councilman for this district.

When someone is arrested,

the law says innocent
until proven guilty.

The reason for that is
people make mistakes.

Under this policy,

that burden falls on you, sir.

And you, and you.

To prove that you
didn't buy your house

by selling contraband.

Otherwise,
they can take your property,

sell it to the highest bidder.

And they keep the money.

Which we funnel back into
neighborhood programs

and into making this
community safer.

There has been
abuse and corruption

in nearly every city that
this policy has been tried.

Which is why I cannot support
it without strict regulations.

You're trying to fix
something that isn't broken.

No. No, it's my duty to put

the best interests of Farmington

ahead of a social experiment,
however well intentioned.

[APPLAUSE]

RAWLING: Councilman.

Getting me up there
under the pretext

of soliciting public support

and then undermining me?

Thanks for the crash
course in sandbagging.

I came willing to be convinced.
I wasn't.

Congratulations,
you pushed half that crowd

into Antwon Mitchell's hands.

Oh, that's a slippery slope.

Using the boogeyman to ride
roughshod over people's rights.

Don't you have enough to
do on the city council?

Or is this some power
trip, doing my job as well?

Actually,
my job duties now include

vice-chairing the
police committee.

Helping oversee how these
seizures are implemented.

Well,

I guess we'll need to figure out

how to get along, then.

Learn to do what I say
and we'll be just fine.

[TIT]

VIC: Romeo did time for moving
crack, possession, assault.

But he was clean
the last 10 years-.

Doesn't sound like he got shot
for minding his own business.

Anything else on the
motorcycle gunman?

Uh, not the most
cooperative block.

Well, that's gonna change.

Pull in Vendrell to help you.

Shane?

Well, you're the one who
sold me on his credentials.

Like I said, Shane's a good cop.

Maybe Shane's vice intel
gets us to Antwon Mitchell.

We won't find Antwon anywhere
near anything this low-level.

Small world.

Even 12 degrees of separation

between this and him
will get us closer.

Hey. New girlfriend?

I got socks older than her.
Look, she gave me something

on that methadone
whack you're working.

She reliable? Yeah, I know her.

Talk to her regularly.

Bust her every couple weeks

for petty stuff
like shoplifting.

She's just trying to
keep her and her mom fed.

[DOOR CLOSES] VIC: So
tell us about Romeo.

ANGIE: Romeo wasn't
using no more.

He's my mom's NA sponsor.

Her slanger was trying
to get her back on the H.

Romeo's been stepping to him
hard, leave her be.

What's this dealer's name?

All's I know,
he ride a loud-ass motorcycle.

It shake the house.

RAWLINGS: Where's your mom now?

Probably tricking to get low.

Five or six places I
usually find her at.

You think you could show us?

Can I get some Starbursts first?

I thought the deal was we'd
be working our own shit.

Captain knows you got the street hookups.
Smart to bring you in.

But first you gotta check this
out, man.

We borrowed one of our
Garage Sting hidden cameras

for a little personal use.
Ladies and gentlemen,

the man who put the
pimp in pimp juice-.

["HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF"
PLAYING ON CAR RADIO]

SHANE: Who's the babe?

VIC: Friend of Claudette's.
Blind date.

We'll spare you
the awkward hellos

and skip straight to
the painful goodbyes.

Excellent.

You still cold? I'm fine.

I'm sorry again about
cranking the air conditioning.

Oh, it's all right.

I guess, uh,
cooler climes are just hardwired

to my northern European DNA.

[ALL LAUGH]

BELLE: Oh, this is me.
DUTCH: Well, listen,

we should get together again.

Maybe, uh, this weekend?

BELLE: Oh, I'm...

I'm gonna be in Kansas city.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

Well, uh...
Uh, call me when you get back.

Sure.

[ALL CACKLE]

Bye. Good night.

Yeah, okay. See you.

It looks like his next date's
gonna be with some hand cream.

No, no, no. Wait... Wait. This is...
This is the big finish.

Come on, all right?

All right, look.
We're looking for a horse dealer.

Works, uh, by the methadone
clinic over on Seymour.

Wondered if you guys
could track down a name

while we chase down the junkie
mom who witnessed the killing.

You know anything else
about this dealer?

Rides a wink-bike.

Loud.

He was, uh... He was whacked

by some slanger who
works off a motorcycle.

Street soldiers are a little
below my need-to-know, man.

That sound like Freebo.
He got a rice rocket.

Temper too.
Yeah, where can I find him?

Why? To lock his ass up

on this shooting.

Hey, we gave you a name

to keep our boy clear of this,

not so you can take him down.

Now, remember,
you're paid to protect my business.

Look, some smoke goes and
kills a fellow asshole,

I got no issue.

But he grudge-whacked
a drug counselor.

Now, that shit ain't right.

Also, I'll make sure
the investigation

seals off with him.
Doesn't work its way

up the food chain
to the big fish.

Someone else gives him up,
there's no guarantee of that.

I'll make a couple calls,
try and locate that cat.

Good boy. Holler.

Holler.

[DOOR OPENS]

RAWLING: I got a
murder for you two.

Sixty-five-year-old
white female.

Shot during a home invasion.
Run it through Vic.

We're reporting to Mackey?

On this one. Looks gang-related.

His domain.

That a problem?

Of course not. I just...
I know he's got his hands full.

I understand you're confiscating
Maurice Webster's house

over those three pot plants.

He was distributing drugs,
selling them out of that house.

I guess even a hummer bust

like this brings in
a chunk of change

for you and the DA's
office to divvy up.

Why don't you and
I go somewhere?

Can we have the room for a
minute, please?

OFFICER: Sure.

Debate's fine,
insubordination isn't.

The DA doesn't call over
to ask for a detective

any more than you can tell
them what prosecutor to use.

Why were we put on
the Webster case?

I've enough on my plate
without second-guessing

the DA's mood swings.

If I'm part of some
back-room deal,

why don't you just
lay it out for me?

Does my office down there
look like a back room?

All that manpower
thrown at a case,

the guy turns out
to be a nobody.

But they grab his house anyway.

Detective in me
wonders, who benefits?

Well, maybe the detective in you

should get down to your
assigned crime scene

before a reprimand
hits your desk.

Either she's lying or the DA's
office is or they both are.

So it's not that
she's another woman

who took the job you're
supposed to have?

No. Just checking.

DANNY: Shot in the back twice.
No sign of forced entry.

DUTCH: Who found the body?

DANNY: The husband and daughter.

DUTCH: Uh, Detective
Wagenbach, Detective Wyms.

CLAUDETTE: Our condolences.
Could we ask a few questions?

DUTCH: You found the body?
WOMAN: My father and me.

I picked him up at the library

and... And we came home...

What, uh...? What time was that?

Around 11.

Tell them...
Tell them about the car.

Oh... Oh.
This morning when we left

I saw a car full of Mexican
kids parked across the street.

They looked like gang members.

DUTCH: What kind of car?

I don't know.
It was old and beat up.

With grey spray paint.
I got a good look

at the driver, though.

Daddy... Daddy, are you okay?

I'm just a little dizzy.
Go on, I'll be okay.

We have to get
him to a hospital.

He's got heart problems.
CLAUDETTE: One of our unis

can drop him off at Mission Cross.
We can do this later.

I'll come with you.

ANGIE: Mama,
these folks wanna talk to you.

Mama.

Sons of bitches, eat my ass.

RAWLING: Angie, come here.

Do you have other
family you go to

when she's like this?

She's like this all the time.

Someone's gotta
look out for her.

We'll get her into treatment.
Last time I called,

it was, like,
a half-a-year wait.

Me calling might
make a difference.

HODA: Shit,
stop getting at me, man.

VIC: Hoda, come on. Come on.

Where do you score
your heyron from?

Come on, I got a sick friend.

All right,
I can take me some grey dick.

Hey, hey, listen.
I can't help you score

if I can't reach your main man.

You got a name
and number for me?

Hell, any of them houses
on the cul-de-sac.

Qot a big bag.

What cm-de-sac'? Hoda'?

Hoda? Leave her be.

Mama, you talking about
the houses on Hoover?

You used to party
and play over there.

You know that dead
end by the steps?

I know some kids over there.

Saw Mama copping a couple times.

Hey, check this out.
House on the left.

VIC: Reinforced steel doors,

blacked-out windows.

Same as the place next door.

It's gotta be the house
Angie was talking about.

Yup. Uh, no smoker traffic.

It ain't no rock house,
but it's something big.

There,
check out the guy over there.

LEM: A spotter.

Another one over there.

VIC: Ah, homeboy's doing more

than keeping the flat screen

from getting jacked. Yeah.

I think it's warrant time.

I'm gonna call my captain.

This was my tip.

You're not assigned
to Farmington.

Look, after we close the book
on this case and Angie...

You got Shane back in the house.

Having you there is gonna

drive him further away.

[EXHALES]

I need him close
and you know why.

Yeah. Yeah.

Look, I know you want back in.

[SIGHS] Look...

You keep showing up at the Barn

with juvie intel
on all my cases,

I appreciate it.

Shane's still an issue.
There's still a lot of history there.

Neighbors say
they're nice people.

You know, keep to themselves.

Well, there's been a
bunch of home invasions

in this neighborhood.

Yeah, we answered one of those.

DUTCH: Hey, uh,
take a look at this.

Uh, find out if there was a car

parked across the street with
a bunch of male Hispanics

around 9:30 this morning.

DAN NY: All right.

Go to the trouble
of killing someone,

you leave the good
stuff in plain sight?

Yeah. Not a very
thorough home invasion.

Unless the victim
put up a struggle,

got herself shot,
they panicked, took off.

Well, I had a case.
Two guys on crank.

Took multiple stab wounds
from an 80-year-old

whose birdbath they
were trying to swipe.

Old and stubborn.
I guess all you

look for's a good fight
sometimes, huh?

Daughter makes it sound
like a home invasion.

Something off with
the family though.

Neighborhoods Byz Lat turf.
You should get with the OGs.

Scooby and Lucas are
talking to them now.

Ese crews run a bunch
of gank-and-goes

over there lately.
Four in the last month.

Take a look at
witness statements.

Read the reports,
witnesses are being reinterviewed.

You got something
big going down?

Yeah. Have you run a
canvass of the area?

You know, I have run a
murder investigation before.

Right, and I couldn't be
happier having a seasoned

law-enforcement professional
such as yourself

working the case under me.

Just attack it.

Like you're hungry.

Like the wolf.

RAWLING: Okay, everyone.

The target looks like a
drug-distribution center.

Two neighboring houses that have
security and communications.

One of their spotters
calls himself TEC-9,

so we can assume the firepower
lives up to the name.

RAWLING: We also want you to be aware
that we're looking for a suspect

in an ongoing
murder investigation

who operates out of this area.

Rides a motorcycle,
his street name is Freebo.

High-risk warrant like this,
shouldn't we go in at night?

Yeah, well,
the bad guys have imbedded themselves

in a residential area where
there's a lot of kids.

We hit while they're in
school, minimize the risk.

The trade-off is we lose
the element of surprise,

which makes ourjob harder.

Now, this will be a
success if and only if

every one of you comes
back in one piece

and no civilians are hurt.
So let's do it right.

VIC: All right.
Team assignments and target 20.

Shane, you're going in with me.

Army with Ronnie
and Lemie's group.

Jesus Christ.

Is this part of
Antwon's operation?

Yeah, this block.
Yeah, it's gotta be.

Well, this is major.
We gotta give him a heads-up.

Just take it easy, all right?

RAWLING: No cell phones.
I just gotta let my wife...

Operational security.
SHANE: Right, okay.

VIC: Shane, let's move out!

[CELL PHONE BEEPS] I wouldn't.

Put you hands on your head.

OFFICER 1: Take another sweep.

OFFICER 2: Would you
please step back here,

until we get the
last car through.

[GUN COCKS]

MAN: Pick up. It's the cops.
RONNIE: Police.

[GRUNTS] RONNIE:
Stay on the ground.

Don't move. Don't move.

Let's bring it around back.
Come on.

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING]

VIC: All right.

[EXPLOSION] [MAN SCREAMS]

OFFICER 4: Move, move, move!

OFFICER 5: Police. Don't move.

Stay right there.
Hands above your head.

You wait here. Back.

MAN: Pick it up. Pick it up.
OFFICER 62 Police!

OFFICER 7: Get away
from the window.

Hands up.

SHANE: On the wall.
Look at the wall.

You got him? SHANE: Yeah.

Clear. Clear. Clear.

HEY-

[GRUNTS]

Jesus.

I wish we had this
kind of shit in Iraq.

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

Holy cow.

Well.

What I got here buys
each of you entrepreneurs

a hard 20 in Pelican Bay.

Now, I'm looking for the
dealer who capped a brother

over on Seymour last night.

SHANE: His name's Freebo.

He rides a rice burner.

VIC: One of you citizens
gives us a real name,

you walk away clean.

SHANE: Up. Up.

Freebo was just here.

Real name's Freddie Bokamp.

Smart man. How long ago?

Half an hour maybe.
I heard his bike.

Hey, hey, shit, no, man.

Take me down with
everybody else.

Feed your ear there.

All right.

JESSE: Captain,
I got a strong chemical odor

coming from the back of that building.
Could be ether.

RAWLING: Possible meth lab.

Let's get HAZMAT down here.

Got a lead on Freebo.

Frederick Bokamp,
this is his DMV.

Where is he?
Well, if he didn't split

before we locked this place down

he could be in any
of those buildings,

but pulling a new
warrant takes time.

This HAZMAT situation,

I think we better
evacuate the block.

That's a good idea.
A crank lab, the whole place could blow.

DANNY [OVER BULLHORN]:
Attention all residents,

this is a mandatory
evacuation order.

You must leave the
premises immediately.

Again I repeat,
please leave the premises immediately.

Okay, sir, step on out.
I need you to evacuate the premises.

My son's got pneumonia.

We'll get him medical attention.

You can't stay here though.

You can't come in like this!

DANNY: Come on,
sir, step outside.

What the hell are you
doing, man?

JULIEN: We'll take
him to the hospital.

You need to clear out of
here, though.

There's hazardous
material in the area.

You need to clear out.
Put him down, goddamn it!

OFFICER: Stop resisting.
WOMAN: That's cold.

Did your mother have any
enemies that you know of?

No. And she was my stepmother.

My mom passed nine
years ago next month.

[EXHALES] It was...
Was like déjé vu finding Margo's body.

How's that?

DONNA: Uh, my dad and I

found my mom in the same room.

We'd just come back
from running errands

and she was just lying there.

CLAUDETTE: How'd she die?
Stroke.

My dad had a heart
attack the next week.

Guess that happens
sometimes when people

have been together a long time.

We found a jewelry box in your bedroom.
It's beautiful pieces.

Oh, yeah, my mother's.

Thieves only took your
stepmother's jewelry.

You know, I'm just...

I'm worried about my dad having

to go through this
all over again.

I... I really need to get back
to the hospital, be with him.

We can call over there,
see how he's doing.

Send a car over if
he's ready to go.

Hell of a day.

Wouldn't be a bad month.

Uh, evacuation didn't
turn up Freebo.

But I'm not done yet.

Last chance for
any of you cupcakes

if you ever wanna
smell pussy agaln.

I can smell yours from
here, bitch.

PRISONER 12 Yeah.
PRISONER 22 Shit.

You get to come with me.

Easy, man.
I was, like, acting down there.

You know, for the homeys.

Yeah, well,
if you don't tell me where Freebo is

you're gonna be acting like
a guy doing life in prison.

Hard to say. Brother gets
around on those wheels, man.

He a free spirit.

PRISONERS: Come on. Yo, man!

What you doing, man?

I'm acting for the homeys.

You think they got the message
or do we need a second act?

Freebo stays with his twin
brother, Weebo.

Freebo and Weebo?

[DOOR CLOSES] Got
a line on Freebo.

Hey, press conference
hasn't started yet.

Still got plenty of
time to figure out

how to take credit for all this.

7661 Anholt.
That's Freebo's crib.

You come back us up.
He's a shooter.

An impressive bust from what I hear.
Congratulations.

RAWLING: Why do I get the
feeling that's the last

compliment I'll get
in this conversation?

I just came from
the crime scene.

You've got a lot of unhappy
people out in the street.

HAZMAT's finishing up
a threat assessment.

Why weren't arrangements
made for emergency shelter?

[EXHALES] We
weren't anticipating

having to evacuate the area.

Next time you have an
operation this size,

you should let me know.

I can put the resources of
my office at your disposal.

Head off little
snafus like these.

You say snafu, I say the
biggest drug bust in Farmington

in the last 10 years-.

Dutch, we're sure the
murder weapon was a .38?

Pending confirmation
from Ballistics.

They found a box of .38 ammo
in the husband's closet.

DUTCH: Find a gun?
Turned the place upside down.

Neighbors say gangs
have been a problem

but no one saw this
car full of Mexicans.

Take a gun and not the ammo.
DUTCH: Swipe the cheap jewelry,

leave the good stuff.
How much would it take to move you

off this home-invasion scenario?
CLAUDETTE: I'm not loving it.

Which leaves the
husband and daughter.

Doesn't strike me he
wanted out of the marriage.

What's in it for
daddy's little girl?

I think you just answered
your own question.

CLAUDETTE: Do you own a
handgun, Warren?

.38 Smith and Wesson. Why?

We're looking into
the possibility

it could've been
the murder weapon.

Where do you keep it?

On a shelf in the
bedroom closet.

But... But it's...
It's not loaded.

I make it a point to keep

the bullets in the drawer.

So it should be in
the closet there now?

Sure.
CLAUDETTE: Because we've had

our people go all through the place.
We can't find it.

DUTCH: Margo and
Donna get along?

CLAUDETTE: They ever argue?

They had opinions.
DUTCH: You telling me,

all the time Donna's
spent taking care of you

she wasn't upset,
Margo wanting you to pull up stakes

move you to another state?

Uh...

Excuse me.

I'm having a...
A senior moment. Um...

We had another break-in
a little while back.

I didn't wanna
tell Donna about it

because I knew she'd worry.

It's what she does best.

My gun was stolen.

You report the
burglary to the police?

No. Uh, that was probably a
mistake, wasn't it?

Captain, I need your officer
to testify in this assault case

and I am having trouble
serving the subpoena.

He's on vacation.
He gets back on duty tomorrow.

I'll make sure he gets it.

I appreciate it.

Question for you.

How did your office decide
to file in the Webster case?

Oh, it's still in play.

Trying to make a plea bargain?

Oh, I don't know
where it is exactly.

I mean, I don't have
the file in front of me.

Is there someone in your office I can call?
To check on it.

The case is in the system.

What's the urgency?

We're moving to
seize the property.

And this won't fly if it gets

kicked down to a misdemeanor.

Look, I'm not at liberty

to discuss specifics right now.

As soon as I know something,
I will get back to you.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

You got some explaining to do.

SHANE: Hey, I was double-blind.

You didn't tell me
what you had going.

Mackey threw this into
high gear behind my back.

I didn't know it was going
down until it was too late.

Hey, two rules:

don't complain
and don't explain.

The only rule is that
you don't set the rules.

And you need to explain to your
people that it's bad business

to whack a citizen in
front of a witness.

Now, there's a manhunt
for your boy Freebo.

You better hope I'm the
one who brings him in.

I got four layers of nigs don't
even know who they work for

insulating me from
that cul-de-sac.

Yeah, as long as your
crew hangs tight.

But one of your boys
rolls on one of your boys

to get out from
underneath a murder,

you got a big hole
in that insulation.

I'm still the best
friend you got.

I appreciate the help.

It's what I'm here for.

And if you'd start listening,

this whole thing would go a
lot easier on the both of us.

You know what?

I think the two of us
should get together.

Work on our
communication skills.

That way shit like this
doesn't happen again.

I'll let you know when.

VIC: Where the hell is Shane?

LEM: Which one's Weebo and which
one's Freebo? They're twins.

VIC: Shit, they're running.

Somebody tipped them off.

What if they take off
in different directions?

We only got one car.
Where the hell is he?

[MOTORCYCLES REV] We gotta go.

Yeah, they're splitting up.
We gotta go. Damn it.

Police.
Move away from the bikes, now.

VIC: Hands on your head!
LEM: Gun!

[GUNSHOTS] VIC: Down
on the ground now.

Put your hands on your head.
Get down on the ground now!

You all right? LEM: Yeah.

OPERATOR [OVER PHONE]:

This is Detective Lemansky,
badge number 27228.

I've been involved in a
shooting at 7661 Anholt.

Notify paramedics
and a supervisor.

Where the hell you been?
What happened?

Goddamn it, we needed you.
You, call for backup.

LEM: Look, I got this.
VIC: Hands behind your back.

FREEBO: Look what you
did to my brother.

Goddamn pigs. VIC: Shut up.

We got here quick as we could.

Nice try, Freebo.

Dutch says it's breaking
different than home invasion.

Yeah, looks like the daughter.
We just have to trap her.

I've stopped the forfeiture
proceedings in the Webster case.

I did some digging.

Webster was on the witness
list for the defense

in a separate murder trial.

The DA had other
interests in that pot bust

beyond enforcing the statute.

Like ruining his
credibility on the stand.

Well, it worked.
He was dropped from the witness list.

The defendant pled.

You just find this out?

You smelled horseshit,

turned out there was
a pony in the Barn.

Well, I appreciate your digging.

You know, what I don't get

is why did the DA
choose the two of you

in the first place?

I mean, shady tactics like this,

I think you'd be the last ones
they'd trust to make it work.

I guess we'll never know.

As far as it goes between us,

I expect to see change
in your attitude.

Can you hook Freebo into Antwon?

Well, he's a little tweaked
about losing his brother.

It's twin shit. Can...?
Can I pull a favor?

Have you talk to IAD about this
officer-involved shooting thing?

Oh, Lemansky's not
under my command.

You know his Cl broke this case for us.
The whole cul-de-sac.

He had permission from his
supervisor to roll with me.

Their first question's
gonna be the same as mine.

Murder suspect,
armed and dangerous.

Where was your backup?

Shane got stuck in traffic.

The brothers were taking flight.

We had no way of knowing
which one was Freebo.

We had to roll.

Write up a report.
I'll take a look at it.

I got you for
killing Romeo Barnes.

We go for special
circumstances, you'll be seeing

your brother again
before you know it.

Don't talk like that, man,
that boy was my heart.

VIC: You give up
Antwon Mitchell.

That'll buy you a day pass

to ID your brother's body.

Jesus, man,
I don't even know the cat.

VIC: I'm trying to keep
your ass off death row.

FREEBO: If I had
something, I'd give it up.

DUTCH: We...
Uh, we may have caught a break.

CLAUDETTE: We've got a
suspect in custody apprehended

for ripping off a house
down the block from you.

Multiple convictions for grand
theft, history of violence.

You think he's involved?
You tell us.

Is this one of the men you saw
in the car outside your house?

Yeah, that's him.
He was the driver.

Take your time. We...

We need to be sure.
It was definitely him.

You're positive? Yeah, uh...
a hundred percent.

I... I remember he was
wearing that shirt.

Th...
This man's a police officer.

He was patrolling
with his partner

when you shot your stepmother.

You think that I killed Margo?

You dropped your dad
off at the library,

went back and shot her.

No! Then you picked up your dad,

brought him home,
two of you discovered her body.

Same choreography as when
you found your mother.

See, that was the last time
you had him all to yourself.

You tried to, uh,
recapture that moment in time

when he needed you.
When it was the two of you

against the world. You're...
You wanna trick me

into admitting something
that I did not do.

We've already got your father
lying about what you did.

Any more, he's gonna be
an accessory to murder

after the fact.

If you confess now,
we won't give him the chance

to lie himself into a jail cell.

[SIGHS]

Oh, God.

If... If he moved to Arizona,
he'd be dead in six months.

I cook his food. I... I...
I drive him to the doctor.

I make sure he has
all 17 of his pills

at the right time each day.

She didn't care about him.

Not like...

[SOBBING] Not like my mother.

Not like me.

She said that they were
going to Arizona alone.

After all I've done.

And so... She just turned her back on
me, and so I...

Shot her in hers.

What'd you do with the
gun and the jewelry?

Oh, I just threw it away.

DUTCH: Where?

Ir I tell you,

will you let me
say goodbye to him?

So I'm in the can and I look
over and I see two dreadlocks

hanging out of the
cabinet under the sink.

RENFREW: This bad
boy had to be 6'3".

How he folded his ass
into a space like yay.

So living in a 6-by-9 with
three other soul brothers

for a few years ought
to be a cake walk.

Everyone,
you have reason to be proud.

Today's raid netted
the largest cache

of black tar heroin
in Farmington history.

[APPLAUSE]

The chief asked me to convey his thanks.
Each of you will receive

a letter of commendation
from him personally.

So keep up the outstanding work.

[APPLAUSE]

RAWLING: This
citizen that we took

to the hospital,
what did you see?

The individual was informed
of the evacuation order.

He just responded in
a belligerent manner,

was restrained by the
other officers present.

RAWLING: Anything to add?

That's pretty much
how it went down.

RAWLING: He isn't
even out of the ER,

he's already
threatening a lawsuit.

I'll make it clear
to the city attorney

that his case has no merit.

Good work.

DANNY: Thanks a lot.

Next time those
guys are gonna party

over busting some soul brother,
it better be out of my earshot.

They were just
blowing off steam.

Everybody's just happy
to be in one piece.

Why is everybody treating this
like we just won the big game?

Because that raid
was a home run.

Yeah, well,
I'm having a hard time

mustering team spirit
over a beat down.

Get real, Julien, you were there.
You saw what happened.

He was minding his own business
until we showed up and started

dragging him and everybody
else out of their homes.

If those folks were interested
in getting thugs off the streets

instead of turning
us into the enemy...

Yeah, well, why are we only
doing this in Farmington?

What about Brentwood,
where the crooked drug lawyers live?

And the bankers who
wash the dirty money?

Why aren't we
taking their houses?

If you think it's
such a rotten idea,

why'd you help the captain
sell it on that panel?

OFFICER: All right,
let's get her out of here.

DUTCH: Got the gun,
missing jewelry.

Three homicides we've
caught the past two weeks.

Three for three.

You must be thrilled to
be back in the saddle.

Aren't you? Wonder what changed?

What do you mean?
I've been the DA's leper

for months. All of a sudden,
I'm in his good books.

You certainly did your time.

These are not the type of
people to let go of a grudge.

And I know I never apologized.

Well, maybe they finally
realized there was no upside

in benching their
two best detectives.

The buzz is that taking
down Maurice Webster

gave the prosecution a
win in some murder trial.

Where'd you hear that?
Well, that would explain

the sudden change in attitude.

That would also
suggest a quid pro quo.

I gotta get with Ballistics.

Confirm this is
our murder weapon.

CLAUDETTE: Ballistics can wait.

DUTCH: I'm busy.

And stop treating
me like a suspect.

Did you have a chat
with Beth lnsardi?

If we carried the Webster case,

maybe they'd let us
out of the doghouse.

Something along those lines?

Fine. I confess.

At least now we're
getting confessions

from other people too.
Real criminals. Killers.

What other errands do you
have us running for the DA?

Nothing.

DUTCH: One of us
needed to mend fences.

You went behind my back.
After being ignored

head on for six
months, you bet I did.

That wasn't your deal to make.

You're the best
partner I ever had.

I hung in with you,
waiting for you to see this through.

Instead,
you just dug yourself in further.

I wasn't gonna sit on my
hands and watch you wreck

your career and
mine along with it.

I got dinged pretty good in this
too, you know.

Look, this was my fight.

And you lost.

So I threw in the
towel with the DA.

And I'd do it again.
And if you wanna be pissed at me,

fine, go ahead.

[DOOR OPENS]

RAWLING: You put one
of my guys on ice

then used that leverage to
turn him into your lapdog.

You do not want to mess
with my people again.

A new captain is in no
position to make threats.

Assistant DAs are judged
by their conviction rate.

How's yours gonna look
when my people show up

an hour late in court,

give witnesses wiggle
room on their statements,

misplace evidence
only on your cases?

Either our offices are
working against each other

or working together.
Which is it gonna be?

Together.

Good.

I keep hearing how
good these seizures are

for the neighborhood.
Can't help wondering

if they're making things worse.
Okay.

This is where people
live, raising their kids.

We're treating it
like a battleground.

How far is too far?

Okay.

So why are you coming to me?

To get you to weigh in.
With your seniority.

You have got a very
popular new captain

who's got the chief's support

coming off a big success today.

Besides, my opinion doesn't seem
to mean jack shit around here.

If people thought like
you back in the day...

And don't lecture me
about the struggle, son.

I am the struggle.

Breaking down black folks'
doors to make the world safer

is not a new concept.

The difference is
now you're the one

with the boot on your foot.

You got an opinion.

You got a voice.

Use it or lose it.

Hey, I'm getting my nuts twisted
by IAD on account of you.

Oh, easy, quick draw.
You, I don't know,

so stay out of this.
SHANE: You and I don't have

shit to talk about
on any subject.

Hey, hey. Easy.

Unis just found Angie's mother.

Dead from an overdose.
Oh, shit, no.

Angie's given Social
Services the slip.

She's probably out there looking
for her mom, doesn't even know.

I gotta go find her.
Hang on, I'll come with.

Look, they may have
grabbed your shit,

but the investigation
is sealed off.

No roads lead back to you.
You should say thank you, Antwon.

Do you know how much
you cost me today, huh?

In product and in manpower?
Do you?

If you'd kept me in the
loop on your tar castles

then maybe I could have kept
an eye out for you, homey.

[ALL GRUNTING]

ANTWON: Grab his piece.
Grab his piece.

Give me both their guns.

[MEN GROANING]

Ah!

HALPERN: Payback, bitch.

[ARMY YELLS]

[GROANS]

I don't get played

and I ain't your homey.

Oh, man, you're gonna get...

Ah!

[GROANS]

Shut up, bitch.

You knew they were
taking down my shit.

My niggers saw you faggots
on the goddamn raid.

So how you trying to tell me now

there was nothing
that you could do?

Huh?

You think you was ever
making the rules around here?

[GUN COCKS] SHANE:
You're not stupid enough

to bring that kind of
heat down on your ass.

I had a talk with her mom.

Amazing what a bitch will
give up for a little rush.

Or in this case, a big rush.

Jesus, you killed her mother.

This is the little ho
that gave up my block.

[WHIMPERS]

She's just a kid-.

I know.

And you two

should be ashamed of yourselves.

You found her on the street.

Tried to bring her
in for foster care.

But she didn't wanna go.

So she offered
you a mouth bribe.

One thing led to another.

And then when she threatened
to tell your boss...

SHANE: No! No, no!

ANTWON: Give him to me.

You got rid of your problem.

And I got rid of mine.

Now,

her body shows up

with bullets in it

from your two gats.

And your card

in her burnt little pocket.

One time, doing time,

for a long, long time.

[MAN LAUGHS]

From now on, I say,
"Suck my dick,"

you Say:

"You want me to lick your
balls, Daddy?"

[GASPS, COUGHS]

[COUGHS]
