Let him go!

This ain't your business.

I'm making it my business.

What you got in here, huh?

What's this?

Ah, little cocaine, huh?

You all right?

Who is this?

He's my father.

Father?

Some influence on this kid, aren't you?

Come on, get up.

Come on!

Don't let him kill me!

Hey, put that gun down!

I'm sick of him beating up on me!

He's not going to beat up on you anymore.

Put the gun down.

Come on.

Come on.

Don't eat that!

You know what the doctor said about your cholesterol.

Doctors out here don't know squat.

Car's packed.

Where's Lyle?

He's listening to them tapes again in the den.

Now, don't be too hard on the boy.

He's just trying to better his self.

Best batch yet, Aunt Dottie.

You precious angel.

If the law of averages

were true, when it came to success,

everyone would eventually be successful.

What did you do that for?

You disobeyed me, boy.

What did I tell you about buying anymore

of them real estate tapes?

But Daddy, they got ways to get

property with no money down.

So do I!

Get your butt out to the car.

Hey Duane, you ready? - Let's go hunting.

Thank you, John.

Give my best to your family.

So, how old did you say that boy was?

Couldn't have been more than 10 years of age, George.

Oh my god.

He must have hated his father very much.

No, I just think he got tired of being beaten up.

You've seen terrible things out there on the streets.

See some pretty good things, too, George.

Here.

Eat some egg custard cake.

It will make you feel better.

I'm serious. - You're a good host, George.

Thanks very much.

By the way, Where's your better half this evening?

Lydia?

Home sleeping, where you should be.

But first, finish the cake.

It will put some meat on your bones.

Thanks, George.

Another busy night, eh, ??

I do well enough, Janosch.

Simple pleasures for a simple man.

Call me Mirov.

I'd like us to be on a first-name basis.

OK, Mirov.

Your bill comes to $14.89.

Nobody moves, nobody dies.

Open it.

Y'all must do hell of a lunch tray.

I'll take that.

Let's go!

What happened?

Just shut up and get us out of here.

Come on.

You idiot!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm a cop!

Join the club!

So are we!

Metro.

You ought to learn how to drive, pal!

And I'm not your pal.

It's just a term of endearment.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

Not so in his case.

That's enough, Saccio.

Commander, I think we ought to be investigating Mirov Janosch.

Like there's some kind of connection

between him and the perps?

He's carrying a gun.

I'd like to know why.

A lot of people carry guns, Hunter, or haven't you noticed?

Captain Devane, what are your feelings on this?

I think Hunter's right.

And if it's no problem with him, I'd

like to see Homicide and Metro work together on this one.

Well, I don't have any problems as

long as I'm doing the driving.

Fine.

I've never seen you so quiet, Molenski.

I was just waiting until you got around to me, sir.

It'll be OK with me.

All right, here's the way it'll shake out.

Hunter will coordinate with Metro.

Saccio and Molenski will spearhead through Metro.

Hunter, you'll follow up on Mirov Janosch.

Yes, sir.

Saccio and I will start on the crooks

immediately, see what we can find out.

It'll be nice working with you, Sergeant.

Yes, it will, won't it?

Great, it's a love fest.

You're overloading your mouth again, Saccio.

Remember who you're talking to.

Yes, sir.

We got to get that bullet out of you, Leroy.

Give him some more of that home aid.

Oh hell.

- No, please! - Lyle!

Lyle, patch him up.

Now, how come Duane never has to patch...

Just do it!

Leroy!

Leroy!

You try to get some rest, you hear?

Yeah.

Let's go get some lunch.

Daddy, Daddy!

What?

Maybe we should take him to a doctor.

Doctor's going to want to know how he

got that bullet in his belly.

Hey, Mom.

Look at that wallet.

Ain't she a beauty?

You go change that bandage.

You want to get an infection?

Ow.

What'd you do that for?

Wait till your brother gets back.

You think Leroy might want some stew?

Oh, I don't think he's in much of a mood for eating.

Might have to bring him to the farm tomorrow.

Control, put on a APB follow-up.

Roger, 1-Henry-21.

I have more on that.

Black and white vehicle..

Thank you very much.

Did you ever get the report?

You feel an arctic wind blow through here?

Oh, good.

I see you're taking the mature approach to this.

Molenski, line two.

Your brother, Scott.

Yeah, would you tell him I'll call him back?

What's your problem?

You.

You're my problem.

Why do you always side with them?

Them?

As in the proverbial them?

Or are we talking about a particular them, as in Hunter?

In this particular case, it's Hunter.

Molenski, phone.

Uh, yeah, who?

Your brother Axel.

Tell him I'll call him back.

What you tried to pull on Hunter was bull.

This is as much his case as it is ours,

maybe more so considering he was there when it went down.

Why are you a Metro cop?

Is this a trick question?

Because Metro cops are supposedly

the elite of the LAPD.

That's right.

And that's why this should be a Metro case exclusively,

because we are the best.

There's been a homicide, Michael.

You're such an elitist.

And that's why you're crazy about me.

Michael.

Line 3, Molenski.

Uh, yeah, look.

If it's one of my brothers, would you just

tell him I'll call him back?

It's your father.

All right, you can put him through.

Yeah.

Hi, Dad.

Petra Alexandru?

Yes.

I'm Nikolai Janosch.

Oh god.

My brother never told me how lovely you were.

Mirov kept much to himself.

Smart man.

I didn't think you could get here so quickly.

Is there any more you can tell me about Mirov's death?

Only what I already told you on the phone.

This Sergeant Hunter, I will have to see him to get

my brother's possessions back?

Yes.

I'm glad we finally got to meet, Petra.

I wish it had been under different circumstances.

Do you have any idea who did this?

No, I don't, not yet.

But we will.

Did you know your brother carried a gun?

He thought America was a very violent place.

Obviously he was right.

Are you the only one conducting this investigation?

No, there's several other police officers

helping with the investigation.

Tell me.

When's the last time you saw your brother?

Not since I moved to Mexico City two years ago.

When can I visit my brother's apartment, Sergeant Hunter?

Well, like I said earlier, his apartment's

off limits until forensics is finished

looking through everything.

And his personal effects?

They've been impounded, except for the wallet.

It was stolen the day he was killed.

I see.

Now, where can I get a hold of you?

I'm staying at the Horton Hotel for a few days.

I will be more than willing to help.

Yeah, thanks very much.

Sergeant Hunter.

There goes a real strange guy.

What do you mean?

The way he touched his brother's body and all.

What do you got?

You were right.

The blood matched.

Great.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Just because there was a match on the two blood samples

found in the diner, you think they're

both from the same family?

Yes, I do.

A-negative is very rare.

How do you know?

He's right.

I had an uncle who was A-negative.

Fell off a horse and died because they couldn't

find a donor soon enough.

Of course, he was 87 at the time.

And you had to ask.

Let's not forget about those home-loaded shells,

Yeah, what is it?

The family that loads together stays together?

You know, I know you two are both the Metro hotshots.

That's OK with me.

I'm just giving you some information.

Use it if you want.

Me, I'm going to follow up on Mirov Janosch.

See you both later.

You want to be successful?

Have to find that perfect property,

the one that starts you on the road

to full financial independence.

Many people ask, what do I need to do?

The answer to that is easy.

Put one foot in front of the other and start walking.

Sales also

offer loads of opportunity.

Remember our real estate rule number one,

buy low, sell high.

And also remember...

that opportunity comes in many forms.

Underneath the worn paint and broken shingles

of an uncared for property, you may

find your golden opportunity.

The old saying one man's trash is another man's treasure

should never be forgotten.

Your quest for profits...

You son of a bitch!

He cut the cord to my headphones.

You been listening

to them damn tapes again.

Duane, dear, walk with me.

But that's my last tape.

Make sure you don't get no more.

Your cousin's in a bad way.

It's not right that he should go on suffering like this.

Son, sometimes everything that's thrown at you in life

is not pleasant.

Some things are just going to be unpleasant.

Ma, Leroy's my friend.

I know he is.

That's how I know you'll do the right thing.

Oh man, I'm hurting bad.

I know.

So I checked with R&I.

The computer didn't kick out anything on these home loans.

Not one MO matches from another state.

Then I checked with Hunter about this Mirov Janosch.

Turns out the guy's a phantom.

Nobody even knows how he got in the country.

His papers are illegal.

His bank accounts don't exist.

If they do, they're under an assumed name.

I wonder what it's like to go through life

with a name like Mirov. - That's funny.

I always wondered what it'd be like to go through life

with a name like Saccio.

You should talk, Molenski.

I bet you had to listen to every bad Polish joke ever made.

And then some.

You know, I bet you Hunter digs up something

on this Mirov Janosch guy.

Yeah, wish him a lot of luck.

What's the deal?

Hunter's a good cop.

What have you got against him?

I don't have anything against the guy.

You're so full of it, Michael.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Let's go inside.

Not tonight.

What's going on with this, Joanne?

What do you mean?

Well, one minute we're together and everything's fine.

And then the next thing I know, you're saying things like,

not tonight.

I mean, there's just too much back and forth going on here.

I know.

It's confusing for me, too.

Well, it doesn't have to be.

You still like your eggs scrambled in the morning?

Hmm.

Petra Alexandru?

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

I'd like to have a word with you, please.

What do you want?

I'd like to talk to you about Mirov Janosch.

Mirov was a friend, that's all.

You spent a couple of nights at his apartment.

Look, Petra, building manager recognized you.

This is not a crime.

No, it's not.

Then why are you doing this?

I'd like to know why you didn't claim Mirov's body.

When I was a child, my father was executed by a firing squad.

The secret police...

they forced my mother and me to watch.

After that, I stay away from the police as much as possible.

Old fears die hard.

I see.

So you called Mirov's brother, Nikolai.

Yes, but I hardly know him.

We only spoke on the phone.

Petra, Mirov was bringing large sums of money

into this country illegally, his money.

I need to know who his connection was.

Petra, you're here on a green card.

You're a guest to this country.

Let's take a little ride down to the Immigration Department,

shall we?

You're not serious.

I can't believe you would do this.

Yeah, I know.

It's ridiculous.

Better buckle up.

Brancus.

Illia Brancus.

Mirov had business dealings with him.

It had to do with money, black market money.

Illia Brancus?

Drop the gun, Brancus!

Police!

I never saw you run so fast.

How about you?

Yeah, but I got him.

After I tackled him.

Not him, you tackled me!

So Charlie, what's cooking on that brain of yours?

Well, I hear through the grapevine

that there's a slot for a captain opening down in Metro.

That's right.

Joe Doyle's taking early retirement.

You got an itch you're looking to scratch, Charlie, or you

just testing the waters here?

Well, it's something I've been thinking

about for a long time, Tom.

You're sure, huh?

Well, a year ago, the alarm would go off,

I'd be up now with a bit in my mouth like a racehorse.

Now it rings, I just lie there.

Maybe you're not sleeping so good.

No, I'm not.

And you know the reason why.

Yeah.

Look Charlie, if you're really interested,

you'd be right up there with the top three contenders.

There's one thing.

You've got to keep this between us.

I know they're in here someplace.

You know, I've been thinking.

I love when you do that.

Here they are.

Maybe it's time we went public.

Excuse me?

Hello?

Have we met?

I thought we talked about this.

Yeah, yeah.

I know.

You said you weren't ready.

Right.

Well maybe I want to go public.

Michael, I care about you.

I do.

I just can't handle this right now.

I really can't.

Saccio, Molenski.

Sergeant Hunter.

What's happening?

Hunter, I thought you'd be out chasing Romanians by now.

Well, I was until one of them flew off a roof with $100,000.

Really?

You got a name?

Yeah, Illia Brancus.

So what's the connection in our case?

Well, I think Brancus might have been Janosch's

money connection from Romania.

You still think these cases tie in, don't you?

Sure do.

Well, they don't.

This crazy family just wanted the money.

Oh, so you think it's a family now, huh?

It's a possibility.

Blech, it's pretty ripe, too.

Nothing like a good Havana to cut through the stench.

You smoke, Hunter?

No, thanks very much.

One round to the head.

That's what killed him.

What about the gut wound?

Oh, you'll find that's a 9 millimeter, police issued.

You see, this is the guy I shot robbing the diner, Saccio.

Yeah.

Starting to come together for you now?

You just keep hunting Romanians, Hunter.

Don't worry about him.

His hormones must be out of whack today.

Hormones, huh?

Interesting, isn't it?

It's amazing what you can create with a brush and some tape.

How did you find me?

It's not very difficult to find someone

when you really want to.

Take Sergeant Hunter, for instance.

Look how ingeniously he found you.

What did he want to know?

Things about your brother.

Such as?

If he worked in the black market.

Americans don't understand that all Romanians

deal in the black market.

You do what you have to to make life livable.

Don't you agree?

Yes.

What did he ask about me?

Where you were staying.

But I told him nothing.

I believe you, Petra.

Ah, fantastic, don't you think?

That's what I love about black and white,

its pristine starkness.

There is an honesty about it.

When did you first realize it was??

Was it when you first saw me?

Or did it take longer than that?

It was when I first saw you.

I recognized your eyes.

If I wanted something to happen to you,

it would have happened already.

Just don't ever lie to me.

Having a high rank in the secret police had its privileges.

One of them was that beautiful women tend to remember you.

Nikolai, what do you want from me?

My brother had a wallet.

A very beautiful one.

I always wonder where he got it.

Presidential gave it to me.

I gave it to Mirov for safekeeping

when he came to this country.

But the wallet was stolen by his killers.

And there was something very valuable in it.

I still don't understand why you need me.

You had an understanding with my brother.

I may need your services while I'm here.

My services don't come cheap.

You and I will have the same understanding.

So the bullet was definitely Hunter's?

Yeah, give me the guy's name.

Leroy Baines.

What about priors?

Good.

You got an address?

Thanks, pal. I'll talk to you.

Haines, have you seen Molenski around?

She said something about going to see a Sergeant Hunter.

Well, you see her, tell her I'm checking out a tip.

Yes?

Yeah, I'm Officer Saccio, LAPD, Metro division.

And what can I do for you, officer?

Does a Leroy Baines live here?

Well, no.

He hasn't lived here in some time.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

OK.

Yeah, right.

Go ahead.

I'm ready.

All right.

That's good. Thanks a lot.

Molenski, let's go.

Got a liquor store, same MO as before.

- Hunter, Saccio just got... - Forget about Saccio.

Let's go. - No, listen a minute.

I just find out he got a positive ID on that corpse

from yesterday. - Yeah.

Turns out the slugs definitely came from your gun.

Right.

And he got an address on the DB from his parole officer.

Wait a minute.

You're saying Saccio would be that dumb to go

out there by himself?

Come on.

Let's go.

You sure you don't want some?

Positive.

You have no idea where Leroy Baines is?

No.

He left here at least two months ago.

But his parole officer gave this as his home address.

Oh, I didn't even know the boy had a parole officer.

Where's your husband, Mrs. Pinder?

Out.

No, hey.

Hey, I asked you where.

Didn't you hear her?

He's out.

They're for good luck.

Boys.

Time for your allowance.

Woo!

Dang, that's a good haul.

We can sure get us a nice piece of property

with all the bread we made the last few months.

Uh, hey, uh, how come Duane's got 50 bucks more than me?

Cause he doesn't say stupid things.

Come on.

We've got to get home or Ma's going to start to worry.

Let's go.

I don't see any sign of Saccio.

Why don't you hit the front and I'll

go around to the back, huh?

Ain't that that cop from the diner?

Yeah.

Well, let's take him.

Don't be an idiot.

I ain't about to shoot at my own home.

Your mom's handled lots of cops.

What'd you find out?

Anybody home?

I don't think anybody's here.

Probably out at their decorator's.

Yep.

Police.

Hello?

Throat's slit.

Looks like someone did a job on her hand with the candle.

She's been tortured.

Michael.

Yeah.

Look upstairs.

I'll finish you out down here.

Oh my god.

No.

No.
