( Bar chatter )

Never been to a
blues bar before.

It's just a cop hang out, man.

There's a bunch of
cops in here but, uh,

they play blues in
here once in a while

and different people come in.

Some understand the blues,
some don't.

Some can play it, some can't,

but we come in here once in a
while, you know. Play the blues.

So you do come here often.

I do come here once
in a while. Hey, well.

And the gentleman
we're going to see,

if we could possibly get
an old friend of ours

to come up and play
some blues for us.

Mr. Elijah Kane.
Get your hands together.

We'll see if we can
get him up here!

( Cheers and applause )

( Plays heavy blues )

( Shutter clicks )

( Main title theme )

Hiro says it should be a pretty
decent size gun deal.

Outlaw bikers doing
the selling.

Any other players,
or all just local bikers?

Solos are locals,
Satan's Sinners,

small group of
One Percenters.

Any other boys
from down south?

I don't know. They weren't
flying their colors.

KANE: Radner, check plates.

One of these guys is
gonna provide us

with their personal
rap sheet.

Mason, where is
Juliet in parking?

MASON: Here she comes now.

KANE: Everybody get ready.

Juliet will give us the signal
when the gun deal goes down.

Hey, boys. Looking good.

( Distant sirens )

Hey, look at this thing.
(Wolf whistles)

Wow.

- How you doing?
- Nice work.

KANE: Juliet's on the scene.
Mason, take off.

Radner, you get a return
on those plates yet?

No, nothing yet, boss.
Still searching the database.

Heard you were the guy to talk
to if I wanna get some stuff.

- You might've.
- Yeah.

We'll take them all.

Okay, guys. Here we go.

Plates on the out of state
bikes. Oh, yeah.

They're coming back
with a ton of warrants.

Enough probable cause
for an arrest.

KANE: Radner, get into position.
We're about to go live.

Before we talk business,

how 'bout you give me some
of that drink there?

A gift for you.

What's under the jacket,
sport?

KANE: Juliet,
take him down now.

Go! Cops!

- Get down!
- Down! Down!

Freeze! Get on the ground!
On the ground now!

Run!

( Yells )

( Screams )

Hold on! Hold on!

MASON: Stay down! Don't move!

Put your hands behind your back.

Stay down, don't move.
Don't move!

Come on up here, man,
get on the wall.

You got him?

- Yeah. Go. Go.
- Get on the wall.

KANE: Cuff those guys!

( Groans )

Juliet, you all right?

Yeah, none of these
guys are talking.

They all have
lawyers standing by.
( Knocking )

Come in.

Yeah, I was just heading
over to brief you.

Looks like this stuff
is getting out of hand.

We can talk about that later.

They just pulled another dead
girl's body out of a junkyard.

What? Same type of murder?

Yeah, only this time it wasn't
a stripper. It was one of ours.

What?

She was a cop.

- Who is she?
- Deputy Collins.

You just lost the best five
minutes of your life.

It's not the same as
the earlier murders.

The position of the body
doesn't even match.

Hey, I have every
right to be here, okay?

She'd been dead before
she was tied up.

What?

Victims from the other
murders were strangled

after they were tied up
and positioned.

This one was dead long before
her body was brought here.

No, everything's the same.

She's tied up,
carnation in her mouth.

Both shoes are off.
Original killer always
kept the left shoe on.

Looks like you didn't
catch your man after all.

- And who are you?
- Detective Miller.

East Precinct.

You wanna know
what I think, Kane?

No, I don't.

I think the recent one
is closer to home than
you'd care to admit.

And I also think it's about
time you start looking

at these dirtbag locals
you're always protecting.

I respect some of
these local folks here

a lot more than I respect
dirty cops. Y'hear?

So how many girls have to die

before you finally catch
this guy, Elijah?

( Police radio chatter )

Wow, so this is what
a full police pension

gets you these days, huh?

Yeah, it is when
you get a divorce

and you gotta give
half of it up.

That's the motivation of any
killer ex-wives for years.

How long was this guy
married to the victim?

Uh, two years max.
He was a training officer.

( Cocks gun )
I'm not interested.

Put the gun away.
It's the police.

We have a few questions about
your ex-wife, Deputy Collins.

All right,
putting the gun down.

Thought you were some of our
local dirtbag solicitors.

Right.

I guess I can't say
I'm surprised to see you.

Although you're a little late on
the death notification.

I already heard she
was killed on the news.

RADNER: You don't seem too
busted up about her death.

- Divorce really that bad?
- Cut to the chase.

You're here to see if I have
an alibi or not, right?

Can I get you boys a drink?

Yep.

No. Still on the job.

(sighs) Exactly.

Suit yourself.

MASON: Where is it you're
working nowadays, Collins?

County morgue.

Is that where you took all
these screwed up photos?

Some. I started collecting them
when I was still on the job.

Is that before you got your hand
caught in the cookie jar?

I took the fall so
others didn't have to.

Yeah, you keep
telling yourself that.

One day you might start
believing it.

You really think
I was the only one

on the list squad
with dirt under his nails?

You tell me.

Anyway, I'm gonna put
all these together

in one of those
coffee table books.

I hear you can make a lot of
money off of one of those.

Yeah, no kidding.
A book of dead people.

Yeah, I'd probably buy that.

Well, I gotta think about my
retirement somehow, right?

Yeah, we know all about
your ex and your pension.

That's a lot of money
to lose over the years.

Pension? My pension?

She got a lot more than that.

Yeah? Where the hell
did you get this?

That's an official crime scene
photo of your dead wife.

I still got friends.
I hear things.

And yeah, you boys
are on the right track.

She was trained by me.

She would never let
someone she didn't know

just walk up on her like that.

The killer's probably a cop
or someone else she trusts.

Just not this cop.

Right.

You gotta get a handle
on this, Kane.

Look, I got informants
on the street,

all kinds of intelligence
gathering, all my computers,

all my assets,
everything on this.

And I really think we gotta
hold. We gotta hold on it now.

Paper says you got
the wrong guy.

Is that what it said?
We got the right guy.

If there's anybody else out
there, man, they're a copycat.

We got the right guy.

Look, I'm under a lot of
pressure right now.

I'm assigning some people
to help you on this.

Brought in a squad from East
Precinct to help you.

Detective Miller.

Oh, Detective Miller.

See the problem is

Detective Miller is a little bit
overconfident. He's arrogant--

We need results
and we need help.

Besides,

it was one of Miller's officers
who was dumped in that alley.

I was wondering when
you were going to stop by.

Yeah, I know.
Sorry about that.

We're being forced to play
ball with them for now.

What've you got so far?

Same as the rest.

Only difference is

she was dead before
she was tied to the fence.

But you already knew that,
right?

Yeah. Kane said the blood
had already pooled

in the lower half of her body

so there wasn't any bruising
around the wrists.

It's weird enough
working around him

with his ex-wife on the slab.

It's taken creepiness
to a whole new level.

Yeah, I can imagine.

So there's no inflamation around
her neck. What does that mean?

She was strangled
after she was dead.

So what killed her then?

- Tetrodotoxin.
- What's that?

It's a neurotoxin
found in blowfish.

And according
to the Internet,

used in some black
magic rituals.

The white carnation he
leaves symbolizes death.

Listen to what
I have to say.

So it paralyzes the lungs and
stops the heart. Is that right?

Yeah, but not immediately.

Morning.

I take it Miller and the boys

have already been down here
harassing the hell out of y'all.

They asked some questions.

Even popped one
of my friends

when he objected
to their "tone".

Well I could have a talk
with them if you like.

I mean, maybe that's
the best thing.

You're idea of talking
to them make it worse.

I wanted to ask you
about this tetrodotoxin.

Know anything about that?

Of course I know
about the toxin.

It was used in the old country
in certain ceremonies.

But we don't practice that
kind of black art here, Kane.

You know that.

I do know that and I'm not
making any innuendo that you do.

I just thought maybe
you know some folks

that are into that kind of stuff

just because of the toxicity
reports

and some of the
interesting side effects.

I wanna kind of find out
whatever I could about it,
and you're the expert.

You know some things
about herbs and medicines
and all that, you know.

You sound exactly like that
Detective Miller over there.

Man, that's an insult, man.

That's an insult. Now you're
trying to stick it to me.

Thought you were my friend.

You know I would never lie
to you. You know that.

( Speaking Mandarin )

These new cops are
causing trouble, Kane.

What're they doing here?

Look, man,
you got a homicide.

A dead cop. When it comes
to stuff like that,

they're gonna do
what they gotta do.

But these people are telling me
that the big one over there

is looking to start a fight.

He's dirty, man.
I can see it in his eyes.

Let me talk to him.

- Kane. I need a word with you.
- Tell me.

I've been told two
of your guys

were sweating an
old partner of mine.

You're talking about Collins?

It is the victim's ex, man.

And it'd be normal for us to
interview him, wouldn't you say?

He used to be one of us.

He just lost his ex-wife.

Cut the guy some slack.

Come on. How about a little
professional courtesy?

He got fired for that, man.

He was fired because he took
some short cuts.

Haven't we all done that?

Cut the folks around here
some slack, I'll cut you
some slack. How that?

You're gonna regret protecting
these people, Kane.

I promise you that.

Well that might be,
but I ain't protecting nobody.

I'm just trying to treat
everybody fair.

All right. Okay.
But I warned you though.

You warned me
and I'm warning you.

Stay away from those folks.

You know Miller and his
guys are starting

to strong arm people
to get answers?

I know.

We're never gonna solve
this case like this.

Well, Kane will deal
with him and his guys.

We don't need to get involved.

Hey. Make sure you
get that fiber there.

So what are you thinking?

That ex-cop have
something to do with this?

Whoever it is has an
intimate knowledge

of the last crime scenes.

Yeah. Like a cop.

Okay, you? Gotta take
the mask off now, okay?

Hey! Hey, hey, hey.

Get out of here. You're not
allowed to be back here.

Get him out of here.

- You can't be back here.
- Detective Montgomery.

What's your take on these
killings, huh?

What's my take on this?
Come on. You know my name.

Yes, I do.
I do my homework.

Why don't you give me your
take on these killings?

You've been to all the scenes.

Oh, that's right. You don't
write about the victims.

You write rambling
diatribes about my boss.

Yeah, that's right.
I write what I see.

And I hope he appreciates
that attention.

He doesn't.

- He doesn't read the paper.
- He doesn't?

No, but I do.

And I don't appreciate being
made out to be a bunch of jerks.

Well, I apologize.
Let me make it up to you.

Maybe we should get
together sometime.

You give me another chance and
I can change that opinion of me.

I don't think so.

- No?
- But, um--

I'll tell you I am a really big
fan, of your mother's I mean.

My mother.

So you're into macabre.
That's kinky.

I've read all her books.
Or most of them anyway.

Well, did you know
that only a few fans

know what she's really like?

I would love to sit
down over a drink

and tell you all about it.

Here's my card.
You can keep it.

I made a thousand of them.

I also have a few copies
of her last book

that hasn't been released yet.

If you're lucky,
I'll let you touch it.

That's an opportunity
a true fan would die for.

In case you haven't noticed,
I have a murder case

that's on the front page
of the papers right now.

Right. Yeah. I saw that.

Yeah, but even a hard
charging cop like yourself

gets a few hours off, right?

Judging by the fact that
you just put my card

in your back pocket tells
me you're interested.

Think about it.
It's a chance of a lifetime.

It's, uh, something
her fans only dream of.

I have to get back to work.

All right, so tomorrow
night, right?

Maybe.

Yeah? Wear something red.

- Red?
- Yeah.

This way?

JULIET: So who was that?

SARAH: Nobody.
Just that reporter again.

Anything out of the ordinary?

Just another dead cop.

Got a present for you, Tanaka.

I can hardly wait.

What is it? A spent bullet?
A bone fragment?

We found this at
the last crime scene.

Kane wants you to run
it against the fibers
from the Collins case.

He's got a hunch
they're gonna match.

Let me guess. He needs it--

Right away.

Is everything
a rush job with Kane?

Hey, I feel you, but he
still needs it "ASAP".

All right? And keep whatever
you find under wraps, yeah?

You seen today's paper?

Well, I told you before,
this guy's got issues with me.

He's trying to crawl out from
underneath his momma's shadow.

Yeah, you may be
right about that.

Trouble is, he's crawling
out from that shadow

with a camera in his hand.
This can't be happening.

I don't know
what to tell you.

MILLER: Okay, find me anything
you can on those Harmony kids.

Dig deep, boys.
Anything on Chen?

I knew there was something
waiting at the bottom for us.

We're moving out
in ten minutes.

Kane.

Since there's no surprised
look on your face,

I guess you already
heard they moved in.

Just because we have to be
working with these folks,

doesn't mean we're
working for them.

So I'd like you to kind
of brief the team

and tell them all
that for me.

I'll catch up with you
in just a few hours.

Okay. Um, just so you know,
they want to interview Chen.

They say some street
informant told them

that he knows all about the
items left at the crime scene.

They can interview Chen all
they want, man. He's a good guy.

He knows how to tell the truth
and stay above board

and keep himself
and all of us safe.

Yeah, Chief,
you gotta admit--

He's not involved.

Look at those talons right
there. Look at that.

Look at that.
Yeah, that's right.

You see that right there?

Nobody move!
Nobody get hurt!

You! Come over here.

I got you.

Book 'em all!

Get them all in the cars!

Get up!

Get your ass in there.

You wanna come with me?

Let's roll!

Toole? Are you crazy?

No. The guy's harmless, and I'm
meeting him at the blues club.

I'll have my phone with me
in case. What can go wrong?

Well it doesn't sound
like a very good idea.

What if we just keep
it between you and me?

I'm a really huge fan
of his mom's. She's a genius.

Yeah, well the woman's dead
and her son's a freak.

You ever see
the movie "Psycho"?

Hey, Chief.
Everything okay with Hiro?

No, man. It's Miller.
This bitch is out of control.

Hey, you guys should
come check this out.

Miller's sweating your
Chinese friend pretty hard.

What I tell you, man?

August 27th.

Where were you?

I already told you.

What's going on here?

Why do you ask the same
questions when you want a
different answer?

Tell me again.

I was in the city.

Doing what?

Selling herbs.
That's what I do, remember?

You always
wear these gloves?

Why?

The same reason why
you wear pants.

To cover up my shortcomings.

I don't know how much you know
about this guy, Kane,

but this isn't looking good.

It's not what you think.

This guy's my friend.
He's a great guy.

He was just burned as a child.

Take 'em off.

My pants?

Your gloves!

Mr. Miller. That's enough.

Mr. Chen, my friend,
get your stuff and get out.

What's your problem, Kane?

You're my problem.

No, you are my problem!

Oh, this is going to get ugly.

Yeah, well, Miller's
been asking for it.

Now he's going to
learn the hard way.

So it's like that?

It's like that.

Tired of you
embarassing me, Kane.

You're soft.
Your name should be Sugar.

- ( Speaks Mandarin )
- What?

We done?

Where are you going?

Oh, come on. That was weak.
He should've finished him off.

Kane has class, Gates.

Something you don't and probably
never will have. Excuse me.

Move.

Yeah?

Kane. Listen, uh, you're not
gonna believe this one, man.

Yeah, you're right.
I won't believe it.

Miller busted me and my boys for
cockfighting. I'm in jail, Kane.

What did I tell you about
cockfights, Hiro?

Listen, I was
walking my chicken

when he started to sniff
another chicken's ass, you know?

They're just getting to know
each other the way chickens do.

Ain't nothing wrong
with that, right?

You know, that cover story
is dumber than the time

you got caught trying to siphen
gas from that motor home.

You see, that wasn't
technically a crime, man.

You know, I was out of gas so
I decided to borrow a gallon.

Yeah, well. If you had just
asked me for a couple bucks,

I could've saved you
a mouthful of sewage, man.

They should've marked
that tank "septic".

I can sue that guy, right?

Yeah, well,
good luck with that.

( Dial tone )
Kane? Kane.

INMATE: Come on, man. Hurry up!

So?

Oh, this is amazing.

What do you think?

Her last book
and it's a first edition.

Yeah.

I really wish
I could've met her.

You smell like flowers.

Thank you.

You do.
You know, I'm just saying.

You must miss her
a great deal.

Who?

Your mother.

Oh, um, no actually.

I mean, she'll always be
a part of me in some way

and her spirit will always
live on through me forever.

Yeah. I feel-- I mean,

her stories are so powerful,
like, yeah.

That is true.

You know the best thing
about my mother's work

is that they inspire
these moments.

These little moments
that two people have.

Kind of like the one that you
and me are having right now.

There's a spark, right?

But you know, it's nice.

Just talking with someone
like you who looks like you,

one of her true fans makes me
really appreciate

her many accomplishments.

Good. That's good. I'm glad to
hear that. She was so gifted.

So are you.

I mean, you were holding
her very last novel.

That's something only myself
and her publisher has seen.

So did you ever think about
writing books like her?

Me? No. No, no.

No. I could never
fill her shoes.

I'm just a lonely reporter
who writes silly diatribes

about you and your
co-workers, remember?

I didn't mean it like that.
It's kind of true, right?

Yes, it is.

Can I buy you a drink?

- Sure.
- Yeah? All right.

Hey.

- What was that?
- What was what?

What was that you
just put in my drink?

I didn't put anything
in your drink. It's a straw.

She was strangled
after she was dead.

Man, this is the copycat
I've been telling you about.

Traces of GHB.
The date rape drug.

PATRON: Oh, let's go home!

Excuse me, guys. Thank you.

COP: Very nice trunk.

What happened to your hand?

Got in a bit of a
scuffle. No big deal.

I made the mistake of going for
drinks with that reporter Toole.

Really?

And he tried to slip
something into my drink.

He gave me this.

That's the last book his mother
wrote before she died and in it

the killer uses tetrodotoxin
to subdue his victims.

- His mother wrote that?
- Yes.

And last night,
was it powder or a pill or what?

I didn't see.
He got me a drink

and he was sitrring
something into it.

- And you drank it?
- I hit him.

He hurt you?

No. Kane taught me everything
he knows. I could take you down.

Listen, I got an idea.

Call him up and apologize.

Tell him that you, uh,
overreatcted.

- What?
- Listen, we're the police, man.

We know how to manipulate,
lie, trick.

That's how we get the bad guys.

Call him up,
tell him you overreacted.

Tell him you're going to give
him an exclusive interview

with me on all the recent
murders of these girls.

Okay, well do you want
us to cover the meet?

Nah, it'll be a quick one.

I need you guys
for something else.

Thank you so much for taking
the meeting with me, Mr. Toole.

No. Thank you.

You know, I gotta say,

I was a bit surprised
when you called

and chose me
for the exclusive.

I was a little worried that you
would get the wrong impression.

Your girl last night kind
of overreacted to my kindness.

Yeah, well,
I don't know about you,

but I think most
people would agree

we started out
on the wrong foot,

and now we got a chance
to make up for it.

So you decided to make it up
to me by giving me a story, huh?

Well, I got some good news.

I believe we know who
the killer is now.

- You do?
- I think so.

I'm pretty sure, but I need
your help catching him.

Well, okay.
What do you have in mind?

This stays between you and me,
but he's not a cop.

Not a cop.
You got a name?

I don't really want to kind of
release his name right now.

It's like that,
but I'll tell you that

there's connected people
protecting him.

I figure if you
write something for me,

it might can help me
flush him out.

You know, get him to react,
you know.

He'll react to the article.

Well, um, I don't really
see the point to that.

You ever heard of something
called Tetrodotoxin?

No.

It's kind of amazing
what leather fibers

that they analyze
in forensics, man.

Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.

I'm really,
really sorry about that.

Can you all just
help me out here?

Get him wiped down
or something, please. Yeah.

I'm so sorry about that.
We'll get you dried off

This isn't police work.
Garbage duty, really?

Yeah.

JULIET: The guy just dive-bombed
from the fast lane onto
Interstate 90.

We couldn't get over quick
enough to follow.

- You lost him?
- Nothing I could do.

There's only two
of us and no bird

that's going to be able to
follow someone under these
conditions.

We're gonna go stake
out his residence.

Hopefully he turns up.

See, this is why
a five-man team sucks.

JULIET: What, you'd
rather have Gates around?

That's what
I call police work.

No, man. Seriously?

Yep. All right, let's go.

What're you doing here?

Oh, hi. No need to be startled.
The name's Miles Toole.

This is a police facility.

All right. Just relax.

I'm a trusted member
of the press,

I'm just here to ask you
a few questions about the
police murders.

Now? After hours?

You can't be serious.

Besides, any information
from here are classified.

Oh, I'm very serious, friend.

( Door buzzes )

Can't tell you how
happy I am to see you.

Where'd he go?

Now it's two-way traffic.

Now I'm gonna do to you what
you've done to everybody else.

SARAH: Kane! Don't!

Must've slipped, man.

MILLER:
This the copycat killer?

KANE: He's not from Harmony.
That's for sure.

I guess I owe you an apology.

You don't owe me nothing.

Then what can I do
to show you I'm sorry?

I guess you can start by
respecting my people and,

you know, letting
me handle things here.

Give me a break, Kane.

There's bad people
in every community.

Yeah, but you know what?

These are my people and the bad
ones, I like to put 'em in jail.

Whatever.
Let's get out of here.

Found this in your car.
You going somewhere?

In my line of work, I'm required
to travel at a moment's notice.

I stay packed.
What else you got?

You know, guys like you,

they don't do very well
in places like county jail.

That's true.
All right, here's the truth.

I have a very good lawyer and I
will be out of here by morning.

If I think I just
heard you right,

you said you have
a really good lawyer

and you'll be out
of here by morning.

Probably not with the amount
of evidence that we have here.

That's all circumstantial
evidence at best.

You should know that.

Actually,
we know better because

I have read all
your mother's books.

The drink you spilled on me

showed traces of tetrodotoxin.
Sound familiar?

- No.
- No, it doesn't?

You wanna cut the crap?
It's not cute anymore.

I don't think it ever was.

And in fact, if I could think
of a word below pitiful,

that might be a little more
accurate, but anyway,

there's a huge difference
between you and your mother.

Yeah? What's that?

She made a name for
herself with some kind of talent

that she sort of had.

You made an ass of yourself
for having no talent at all.

Don't be so quick
to judge me, friend.

You have no idea--
no idea what it's like

to live in someone's shadow.

I'm mistified because

if that's your excuse
for murder, I mean--

I've heard of people
suffering before,

but living in someone's shadow.

That's suffering.
That could cause major pain.

Major emotional pain.

If you like writing so much,

why don't you write me
a damn confession

because that is about
the only thing you could
write that anybody might read.

Y'hear?

Let's go.

Sarah, make sure
you find him a nice dirty cell

to live in
for the next 40 years.

I'm in trouble.

( Knocking )

You want to see me, boss?

Yeah, have a seat. I need to
talk to you about something.

All right.

Uh, your dad works LAPD now?

Yeah, but, I think
he just retired.

And I understand y'all don't
speak. Is that right?

Well, he spent more time at
work than he ever did at home.

That's actually the
reason I'm up here.

I can't stand the prick.

I mean, is the reason why you
feel that way

is because he didn't spend
enough time with you

or is there something else going
on that I need to know about?

Not a part of my life,
which I'm fine with.

Why? What is he,
dead or something?

To be honest with you,
it seems as though your father

has come across some
information

that he's turned over
to internal affairs.

What do you mean?
He went to them about cops?

That's what they say, yeah.

Your father has information that
could put a lot of cops away.

Now these cops not only have
stolen dope and money,

but apparently they may
have even killed people.

So these are some
bad guys, man.

You gotta be kidding me.
The guy's a snitch.

Look, I've put dirty cops away
and I'm not a snitch.

When cops are involved in
homicide and stealing money

and dope, you don't want
them to be a cop.

That gives us a black eye.

All right, they're bad guys.
What's that got to do with me?

He's got some real bad folks
that he's willing to work

and put 'em away
if you go do it with him.

But he wants the chance
to make it up to you

and bury the hatchet
and make things right with you.

What do you think?

I hope whatever he's done

he can get a chance to explain
himself and make it right.

All right, I'll do it.

Could you just do me a favor

and not tell the team I'm
working a case against cops?

I'll just say you're on
loan to another department
working a dope caper.

Don't tell them my
old man's a snitch.

He's a good cop.

Thanks, boss.
