[Theme music]

-[Eddie] So, wong

what you got?

-Aram and Victor stromfeld, D.O.A.

Look like father and son.

-Oh, yeah?

Multiple bullet wounds?

-Very multiple.

I count at least six entries on each of them.

The driver... One shot to the head.

If I was him, I'd be insulted.

-Cash taken?

-No, I'd say they were after something else.

- "Stromfeld and sons diamonds."

Another heist?

-They left the guns.

-Process them.

Like they're going to be traceable anyway, you know?

-These guys carry diamonds

like we carry subway tokens.

-[Woman] Please, I think I know these people.

- Excuse me. Excu... - Oh, my god.

-Did you just say that you know these guys?

-Victor and I are friends.

Our families do business together.

-Diamond trading?

-Yeah. I'm sure that's why he was killed.

-Did he always carry diamonds with him?

-Every week he took diamonds

to dealers upstate

but he never followed a routine

or took the same route.

-Well, obviously, it seems someone knew

exactly where he was going to be.

-My parents are going to be worried.

I have to go.

-Excuse me, I need a name.

-Rebecca skolnik.

I work at skolnik jewelers around the corner.

-Alright, thank you. We'll be in touch.

[Dramatic music]

-No need to use mace. I know I had him.

-Yeah, yeah. Sure you had him.

-You didn't have Jack!

-Shut up!

-Serg, book this loan shark

for criminal usury, carrying a dangerous weapon,

aggravated assault...

-You assaulted me.

-You're a predicate felon, poteet. A two time loser.

You're going upstate, my friend.

- Can we talk about this? - No.

Moreno, can you take care of this?

-You got another errand?

-I'll see you after lunch, okay?

-Okay.

-We'll get the forensics report tomorrow.

You have a good night, then, okay?

-Hey, got a minute, Harry?

-Hey, uh, something I can do for you, Tommy?

-Maybe you heard.

Someone took a shot at me.

-Yeah? You all right?

-Yeah. They missed.

-You get a look at the shooter?

-No, but I blew out

the back window of his car. - [Whistles]

Good for you. Maybe you got him.

-Maybe.

Hey, where's your car, Harry?

-In the shop. Transmission problems.

-Oh, yeah? What shop is that exactly?

-I don't think I like that question, Tommy.

-Then you're really going to hate this one.

Did you shoot at me, Harry?

-You little pissant.

I told you to back off and you wouldn't listen.

- I don't care what... - Shut up!

Now, someone else...

Yo!

Ho!

Now someone else is telling you.

Someone who doesn't care about your welfare

the way I do.

-Was my father on the take?

I saw the money, Harry.

You were his partner.

If he took, you took.

-You don't know what you're talking about.

-I'm coming after you, Harry.

God as my witness,

I'm coming after you.

I'll find out what happened to my father.

-Walk away, Tommy.

Walk away before I forget whose son you are.

-[Eddie] The guns are untraceable like I figured.

-So, armed men in ski masks,

stolen vehicles, quick and violent attacks...

It's the same m.O. As the October heist

and the one in April.

-Stromfeld and his son

were shot multiple times, right?

But the driver, who's his nephew

was only shot once at close range.

-They didn't want to leave any witnesses.

-Yeah, but they were wearing masks.

How could anybody I.D. them?

-Unless he knew them.

-So, you think the nephew was an accomplice.

-I'm saying, stromfeld took a different route every week.

There's no way anybody could have known

which route they'd take, unless someone told them.

[Phone rings]

-Cooper.

Please tell captain o'byrne

I'll get back to him. Thank you.

Alright, I want you to run a check on the nephew...

Gambling, cheating on his wife,

large purchases.

If it was an inside job,

he's our best bet.

[Knocking]

What?

-This is probably nothing, but remember that loan shark

we booked alphonse poteet?

-Yes. What about him?

-Well he's looking to do a deal.

Claims he knows who pulled your heist.

-I'll talk to him.

-Thanks.

-McNamara?

-Yeah.

-I hear you paid a visit

to the two-seven this morning.

-Yeah, I got an acquaintance there.

-Oh, really?

I told you when you joined my squad

you're not here to work on your father's case.

- But, lieu... - But nothing.

[Phone ringing]

Hello. What?

Tell him I'll call him back!

Look, you want to try to find

your father's killer?

Take some vacation time, alright.

If you're working with me, you're working with me

and I want you here a hundred percent.

Is that clear?

-Very clear.

-Dismissed.

[Sighs]

-So, the guy's got a gambling Jones.

It's not his fault.

Vegas, Atlantic city, the reservations...

They make it easy for you.

So this guy loses his kid's college tuition.

So where does he turn?

-To you.

-To me.

Now he's into me for maybe 20 gs,

but he can't pay.

So I factor my receivables.

-You sell his marker.

-Yeah, usually I get 60 cents on the dollar

but this tessler guy

seems he works for some diamond dealer,

and the word is out on the street

that a certain person is interested

in marks like that.

-Right. Right. And this person being...

-Ah-ha.

Now we're at the crux.

This person is a very dangerous person.

In order for me to give him up, you would have to make it, uh...

Worth my while.

-Talk to me.

-I'll cop to a misdemeanor. No jail time.

-[Clears throat]

You help us out, we'll see what we can do for you.

[Funky music]

-I heard you got busted.

-What else is new. I made bail.

How's intel doing these days?

-You didn't call me to talk

about the stock market, did you?

Wipe your chin.

No.

-I got this guy, he's into me for 16 gs.

The vig's a thousand a week.

I'll let you have it for 12.

-Why so generous?

-Like I said, I had to make bail.

Depleted my cash reserves.

I had no position.

-Not interested.

-Did I mention... Did I mention to you

that this guy works at the diamond district?

He's a security guard.

-I assume he can't, uh, pay?

-Well... actually, I doubt it.

-Calvin arness.

[Funky music]

-[Crying out]

-Calvin arness?

-My name is uther.

This is hendry.

-Hey, come on, man.

What can I do for you?

-Listen, I'm only going to say this once.

Do you know alphonse poteet?

-Oh, that's what this is about?

I told that guy I'm going to...

Ah! Get the money.

-No, not him, me.

I own your marker now.

It's $16,000 and I want it.

-Okay, no problem, man.

I need a couple of days.

-No. I want it tomorrow.

-Come on, are you crazy?

I can't get money like that. Ah!

-That's a shame, because hendry

will have to cut off a body part

and feed it to the rats.

-Ah! Okay!

I can get the money.

No problem, man.

-I don't believe you can,

but maybe you could work it off

by doing me a little favor.

-Wha-what? What you want?

Tell this guy to get off me, man.

-No.

-Okay, okay.

What, what you want?

What's in it for me?

-[Laughs]

-What?

-That's a good answer.

Break his fingers.

-[Screams]

Son-of-a-bitch.

-About time you showed up, man.

What you got?

-We checked all the databases.

There was nothing on these guys.

It's like they don't even exist.

-Trust me, man. They exist.

-I don't know. You've been on this for a week already.

Why don't you pull out. We can get them another way.

-The only thing I need is more time.

-All right.

How's the finger?

-I'll survive.

-You know Chantal's been calling...

-I know. I've been missing my therapy appointments

with her and g.

-She sounded a little upset.

-What the hell am I supposed to do?

You know I'm undercover.

I can't talk to my family. I can't talk to anybody.

-Why don't I talk to g, all right?

Come on.

-All right, thanks, man.

-You got that tracker?

-Yeah, I got this bird-dog 500.

-Well, just make sure

it don't end up on a bus to Cleveland, alright.

-Yeah.

-Hey, you're going to contact me

as soon as you hear anything, right?

-Yeah, you'll be the first to hear from me, papi.

-Hey, these guys play rough.

-Yeah? Well, so do I, alright. So do I.

[Police siren wailing]

-We'll put them away

and we'll keep them away

so they're not on the streets anymore, okay.

[Telephone ringing]

-Cooper.

Put him through.

Yeah, hi, Arthur.

No, I've been swamped. I'm sorry.

No, I can't.

Yeah, it has everything to do with that.

Yeah.

It has everything to do with that.

All right, five minutes.

-Lieutenant, you got a second?

-No, McNamara.

I'm on my way out. What?

-I got something on my father's murder.

-Well, you just don't listen, do you?

-Lieu, it wasn't just some random street mugging.

It was a hit

and Harry Bennett was involved.

-Detective Bennett?

-Right.

-Well that's one hell of an accusation, McNamara.

You got any evidence?

-An hour ago,

Bennett met with Sonny fung down by the docks.

-Oh, and you know this because...?

-I followed him.

-After I told you not to.

-Yeah, I know...

-Wait a minute, I gave you a direct order.

-Lieu, I know, but there's more.

I think my father was dirty.

-And you have a burning desire to prove this.

-This thing is much bigger than just my father's death.

We're talking conspiracy, corruption

all the way to the top, lieu.

-Did it ever occur to you for an instant

that detective Bennett might be on assignment

investigating fung?

-I don't think so.

- You don't think so. - No.

-Let me tell you something, McNamara.

The next time you start accusing other detectives of murder

you better have something better than

"I don't think so."

-If I get the evidence, will you back me?

-Torres just heard from Williams.

It's tomorrow morning.

[Door slams shut]

-I thought you said they leave at 10:00.

-I don't know.

-Everybody not coming on time like you.

-You better hope they are.

- Mira.

-All right, there they are.

Get ready.

[Beeping]

-[McNamara] Heads up. They're moving out.

These guys carry advanced electronics.

All units maintain radio silence

until further notice.

[Tense music]

-[McNamara] There they are.

[Tires squealing]

-[Torres] All right, it's happening.

-I've lost visual. What's going on?

-Cops. Abort.

Come on, go, go.

-[Torres] All units, subjects are leaving the location.

Do not apprehend.

-Let's take them anyway.

-Oh yeah, for what? Double parking?

They didn't take anything.

-They took j.C.

-[Torres] The tracking device

is activated and working.

-Oh, that's good. At least Williams is using his head.

Where is he now? - Brooklyn. Red hook.

McNamara and moreno are on them.

Listen, if they were going to kill him,

they would've done it at the site.

-Eddie, I want his whereabouts pinpointed at all times.

-Excuse me, Eddie, can I speak to you, please?

-You know what, give me a couple of minutes. I'll be right... -

I haven't seen j.C. In over a week.

Okay?

-Look, j.C.'S very involved in his work right now.

-He needs to be involved with his child.

If he keeps missing therapy they may take g away from him.

-Okay, look. I'll tell you what, I'll make a phone call.

I'll explain the whole situation.

-I can explain the situation.

That is not the issue here.

-Alright. It has to take a backseat for a while.

I'm sorry.

-Lieutenant, does your family take a backseat to your job?

-I beg your pardon?

-Are you happily married?

-What kind of question is that? That's none of your business.

-So you don't like it

when strangers butt into your personal life, right.

-You're obviously very upset.

Let's end this here before we say things we don't mean.

-No. I don't say things I don't mean.

And don't turn your back on me, please.

-Alright, you're a tough, round-the-way, girl.

You proved your point.

-And you're a condescending blonde bitch

and you haven't proved your point.

-Okay, now you're interfering with my work

and I guarantee you

you have no idea who you're messing with here

so I strongly suggest that you leave now

before I decide to keep you here.

-Listen, you tell j.C. To call me.

-Hey, hey, hey!

-Get inside.

-Take it easy, okay?

-Hendry... hendry...

What happened?

- Hey, don't look at me, man. - No, I'm looking at you.

I'm looking at you...

I'm looking at you real hard.

-C'mon, man. You asked me to do a job, okay,

and that's what I did.

How did the cops know we were gonna be there?

-I don't know, man.

You're doing all that stealing on 47th street.

It is possible that the police know

what you're up to.

-I told you we should have moved on...

[thud]

-You don't tell me anything!

Ever!

All right?

Now, go to the car and get the gear.

Give me your piece.

Give me your piece.

Give me your piece.

[Beeping]

Good condition.

I like that.

-Papi, listen.

The police got to know that I'm involved now.

Why don't you guys let me join you?

I know people.

I can help out.

-I'm not hiring.

-I want to kill him.

-No. Hendry, could you...?

-Look, if you kill me now

you're never going to get your money.

-Good point.

-Uther, listen.

If this doesn't work out...

Okay?

Then you can do whatever you got to do.

-Calvin, are you a clever man or are you as dumb as you sound?

-What?

-Please, let me kill him.

-[Chuckling] That's all right, hendry.

[Chuckling]

Look, he's honest and he keeps his piece clean.

Calvin, what I'm going to do is

I'm going to let you live

a little longer

while I think about it, okay?

So, hendry, why don't you put him in the other room.

-Ah! Ah!

[Door slams shut]

-He... he smells like a cop.

[Beeping]

[Beeping stops]

-[Moreno] The transmitter's in that building.

Hopefully, j.C.'S with it.

-We wait.

If they move, you follow.

-Well it could be a long wait.

Mac and I will take the first watch.

-It's cool, papi.

I won't let anything happen to her.

-The second anything happens

you call me, all right?

-[Chuckling] He's so easy.

-You're going to die.

You're going to die.

-Hey.

-You're going to die, boy.

-That's it.

I'm not taking no more from you, okay?

Okay?

That's enough from...

-Get off him.

Get off him.

-He tried to leave.

-Hendry, sit down and behave yourself.

-He tried to leave.

-Hendry, sit down.

-But, h-he tried to leave.

-Hendry, I said behave yourself.

Be a good boy.

-I wasn't trying to leave.

That guy doesn't know how to leave me alone.

That's it.

-I'm planning our next job.

Nobody goes anywhere till it's over.

-So what?

Pops sent you to spy on me?

-No, man.

I just thought we could hang.

-So you don't have friends your own age?

-Now why you go and diss me like that, man? C'mon.

-I know whatever I tell you, you're going to tell him.

-You know that stuff you and your dad are going through?

I never went through that with my pops.

-Yeah, because he trusted you.

-No, because he was never around

long enough for us to beef.

You're lucky. Your dad stuck around.

-That doesn't mean he has to control me every day.

-He wants you to turn out right.

You're the most important thing in his life, g.

-Then why isn't he here?

-You know what?

Maybe someday he won't be around.

So think about what it's going to be like

without him at all.

G, come on.

-I'm just kidding.

When you were a kid

did you ever wish for a regular family?

-All the time.

-Well, when I have kids

they're going to have a regular family.

-Me too.

Hey! Come on!

Hit me! Hit me!

-[Cooper] As far as I'm concerned, Arthur

that night didn't happen

and it's not going to happen again.

-Want me to back off?

-Yeah, I'm asking you to back off.

-Fine.

Just tell me how to stop thinking about you.

You're like a drug.

-Drugs are dangerous, Arthur.

-Virginia, we had something once.

We can have that again.

-[Sighing]

I am not going to have an affair with you.

-I don't want an affair.

-Well, what then?

I'm going to leave my husband,

we'll get married,

and live happily ever after?

I don't think so.

-I don't know what I want. All I know is I want you.

It's good. It's good.

It's exciting.

-Yeah, it's exciting. It's good.

It gets the blood going. It's hot.

-So let it burn.

-And when it burns out? What then?

It burns out.

What have you lost?

-A lot.

-Mmm...

-[McNamara] Ah, amigo.

I will see you in eight hours.

-[Hendry] Calvin...

Get your ass out here.

- ¿Que pasa?

-[Uther] Show time.

-Today's the day we go after the diamonds, eh?

-Oh, yeah.

I'll make you a rich man.

-Where's, uh, jankowski?

-Well, when and if I feel you need to know

I'll tell you.

Here. Go get ready.

We leave in five minutes.

[Indistinct conversation]

-Have some more eggs.

- Ma, ma, I'm full. Seriously. Just coffee, please.

- Alright. - You don't have to come over

and cook for me all the time.

Your father came home from an all-night stakeout

he liked a good breakfast.

-I'm not my father.

Ma, did you know about the money?

-Didn't know, didn't ask.

-The night dad was killed...

Did he say anything before he left?

I mean, did he seem worried to you?

-He always seemed worried.

No, he got a call, he left

just like a hundred times before.

-Who called him? Harry?

-No, I answered the phone. It wasn't Harry.

-Then who was it, ma?

Was it a man? A woman?

White? Black? What? Tell me.

-It was a long time ago.

-Okay.

I can check the phone records.

That's not a problem.

-I remember...

There was a lot of loud noise in the back.

It was... not English.

It was like, uh...

Oriental.

-Like Chinese?

-Maybe.

-We're on the move. We're on the move.

[Dramatic music]

-No, no.

[Doorbell ringing]

I'll get it. You sit.

No cake.

-Who could be here at this time?

-Yes?

-Is your husband home, ma'am?

-Yes.

Darling?

These gentlemen need to speak with you.

-How can I help you, officers?

-Actually, Mr. Skolnik, we're here to help you.

Your wife and your daughter

they're in terrible danger.

-Danger?

Danger from whom?

-From us.

-Oh!

-The house belongs to Morris skolnik.

He's a diamond merchant.

-He's been in there 20 minutes

and j.C.'S still with them.

-I doubt he can do anything without jeopardizing lives.

-Hostages isn't their usual m.O.

I mean, what the hell are they doing in there?

-In exactly three minutes, you'll leave,

go to your office, open the vault,

get the gems, return home.

-[Sighs]

And if I refuse?

-Get your hands off me!

-Stop it!

-Listen to me, okay?

Do what these guys tell you to do.

-No, you tell them to leave her alone!

-It's all right, papa. It's all right.

-It's all right, papa.

-If you alert the police

then your family will die.

And if you're not back in 75 minutes

your family will die.

-Do what I say, your family will die.

- Moishe.

Fur deine tochter.

Geh.

-Yeah.

- Geh! Geh!

-[Moreno] Hey, there he is.

-[McNamara] So let's pick him up.

-[Torres] No, you two stay here.

I got him.

Mr. Skolnik, I'm detective torres.

I need to talk to you.

-I have nothing to say.

Listen, I know that your family is being held.

-Look, would you just go away, please?

I-I-If they see me talking to you...

-Whether they see you talking to me,

in all likelihood, they intend to kill you.

-No. No. Not if I do as they ask.

-These are desperate men.

-Look, don't you think I know that?!

What can I do?!

-Mr. Skolnik, there was a black man with a goatee.

He is my partner.

-What, he's a policeman?

-Yes.

Now, you need to tell me

exactly what they want you to do.

-[Sighs]

-No, no. I'll... I'll do it.

-This Turkey's dry.

Don't you have any ham?

-This is a kosher house.

We don't touch swine.

-You ought to try it sometime.

-Take it easy, okay?

-You want some of this?

-Hendry.

Hen... come here.

C-Come here.

Calvin, you too.

-[Hendry] You want her when I'm done?

- ¿De que hoyo veniste, puta?

-Look out the window. Tell me what you see.

-I don't know.

What am I supposed to see?

-[Uther] Look at this guy over here.

He's bent over to tie his shoes

three times in a row now.

And this guy

he's talking into his can of soda.

He's got a mic up his sleeve.

-So, uh, you think that's the police?

-[Uther] Oh, yeah.

They know we're here

which is a good thing

because if they know we're here,

then they don't think

we're robbing an armored truck at the federal reserve.

-Oh, so that's, uh, what you call a, um...

-Diversion.

Yeah.

-So, how we going to get away

if you got all the police outside?

-Not, "we". Me.

See, these old houses, the basements are connected.

Which reminds me of something.

Jankowski found this when we picked you up.

-What's that?

-Don't insult my intelligence.

Listen, hendry

I'm going to pick you up at the spot in 34 minutes.

-What about them?

-[Uther] Well, they're hostages now

but once you get the gems

they'll be witnesses, so...

Oh, and, uh...

Whack him first.

He's a cop.

[Lock breaks]

-[Whispering] Would you care to tell me what's going on?

-[Whispering] I'm working undercover.

-I figured that.

The problem is, they did, too.

-You noticed, huh?

-Listen. I can help.

-Put that away.

-He's going to kill us anyway.

-Maybe not. I'm going to make a move,

but I'm going to need a distraction.

- Okay. - Okay?

[Clearing throat]

-[Williams] Hendry.

Now, listen to me.

I know that you know I'm a cop.

Okay? Right now

you're looking at unlawful imprisonment

and that's four years.

Now, if you kill us,

then you are looking at the death penalty.

Do you understand that?

-They got to catch me first.

-You're already caught.

-She's right.

Uther...

Is not going to meet you anywhere.

-No. He... he said

he's going to meet me.

-No, he's not.

He's gone.

He lied to you.

-No. He said he's going to meet me.

-No.

He used you.

He used you as part of this diversion, okay?

-I... I have the diamonds, and I have her.

-You know, I might go with you.

-You'll go with me?

-Yeah. I'll go with you.

Okay?

I'll go with you.

-Drop your weapon!

-Shoot me.

-So help me god, I will.

Now drop your weapon.

[Gun clicking]

-I fixed it for you. A surprise.

[Knocking]

-[Skolnik] It's me.

-Get that.

What took you so long?

-Alright. Alright. I have what you want.

-Let me see them.

-Here. See?

-You stupid...

-Freeze! Drop the gun! Drop it!

-[Williams] Target's an armored car

at the federal reserve. This is a decoy.

Call for backup.

-Wait!

Thank you.

-Yeah.

-Come on, man. Come on.

-Come on, darling.

[Hip-hop music]

[Police sirens wailing]

-[Man 1] Drop your weapons.

Come out. You're surrounded.

-[Robber yelling]

Get back! Get back!

I will kill him.

I will kill him.

I have a gun.

I will shoot him. - He means it!

-Wait a minute.

It's a setup!

[Gunshots]

-Freeze! On the floor!

-Freeze!

Move it!

Freeze!

[Gun shots]

-Don't shoot.

-So why don't you tell me about old girl?

-Ain't nothing going on, man.

C'mon, don't even look at me like that.

All the girl wanted to give me

was a little gratitude.

-It looked like she wanted to give you

a little more than that.

-The girl is orthodox Jew. What am I gonna do with her?

-Did you ever hear of Romeo and Juliet,

West Side story, anything like that?

-You see where they ended up,

right?

-Yo, is that who I think it is?

-[Williams] Oh, yeah.

Yo, paks. Starks.

Bartender... Abdullah... A round of drinks on me, man.

-You know him?

-Don't embarrass us.

-They going to try to diss a brother.

J.c., you going to act like you don't know me?

-Yo, what's up, j.C.?

-What's up, man?

So, you mind if I give you

Check this out.

Now, what you need to do

-Thanks, man. I really appreciate that.

Thanks for the drinks, too.

-Let's watch the show, man.

- did you really had a thing for me

all these years?

-In a big way.

-Then what did you walk away for, huh?

-Everybody wanted you.

I didn't think you'd stay with me.

-So now I'm an old married woman

it's easier, huh?

-Hardly. You're more beautiful now

than you ever were.

-Oh, stop.

-I mean it. I do.

-No one's said that to me for a long time.

-Your husband must have.

-My husband barely notices

if I'm in the same room with him

after 18 years, all right?

-He's a fool.

He has no idea what he's got.

-What do you want from me, Arthur?

-Whatever you're willing to give.

-No. No.

Don't make it all my responsibility.

That's not fair.

-I'm not. I...

I'm risking my family and my career here.

What are you risking?

-I don't know...

But you make me crazy.

-Oh. What does that mean?

-It means I love you.

I love you.

-Oh, god.

[Grunting]

-Who are you?

What do you want?

-You wish to know about your father?

-I'm listening.

-Jake and I did business together.

-What kind of business?

-He sold me information.

Wiretaps, stakeouts,

undercover operations.

You might say Jake was

my confidential informant.

-You lie!

-You saw the money.

One night, a young patrolman was killed

because of information that Jake provided.

Jake blamed himself.

He came down with an attack

of terminal conscience.

He wanted out.

-But you wouldn't let him out.

-He intended to confess,

expose other informants in the department.

-And you had him killed.

-It was a business decision.

Nothing more.

I liked Jake.

-Oh, you bastard!

-Take the money.

Give it to your mother,

or donate it to charity,

but let Jake rest in peace.

Why dishonor his memory?

Your mother and brother will be disgraced...

And then killed.

And, Thomas...

Once I give that order, it's irrevocable

whatever happens to me.

Now you carry the burden of truth.
