San Jose, Sacramento, Barstow, Ventura, and Los Angeles.

Tickets, please.

Harry, it doesn't matter what the damn yield is

if they go chapter 13.

I don't care if you short your grandmother!

Ticket, Miss?

I just don't want to own it when the market closes!

Some people don't know how to relax.

- No, ma'am. Vacation? - No, moving.

- From the Bay Area? - Palo Alto.

- Been transferred to LA. - Don't worry, miss.

There's many a fine place to live in the City of Angels.

- Isn't that right, sir? - It certainly is.

- Is this-- - Oh, no. Please.

See? A new friend every day.

I live in the Palisades myself. Beautiful country.

Beats anything in the Bay Area. Trust me.

May I see your ticket, sir?

Sir, may I see your ticket?

I didn't catch that.

Sir?

Ask me for my ticket another time, ese,

I shall slit your throat and theirs as well.

Vaya te!

Local authorities were stunned today

as the California Supreme Court overturned

the conviction of Marco Cruz,

one of the most notorious figures

in the city's storied gangland history.

Marco Cruz was convicted five years ago

for the killing of three Southland residents

and the attempted murder of Father Luis Nino

in East Los Angeles.

Despite the court ruling,

Cruz's guilt was never seriously in doubt,

despite pleas from his mother.

Cruz was given the death penalty in a trial

involving the testimony of several disgraced LAPD officers

with the recently disbanded anti-gang CRASH task force.

Cruz, founder of the legendary 86th Street gang

was arrested with his mistress, Serina Lopez, five years ago,

but charges against her were dropped

due to lack of evidence.

Cruz's 86th Street gang

was once the most powerful gang in Los Angeles,

but has been overshadowed in recent years

by a ruthless organization from South Central

that has taken over much of Marco Cruz's old turf.

Shoot him, fool! Shoot him!

Ah, what could be better? A great Western shootout, huh?

Where the hell have you been?

Those charm school lessons have been paying off for you, baby.

Let me know when you get to the chapter on not being a jerk.

- What is it? - Marco's getting out.

I know.

You know? Marco was on death row.

What are we going to do? What are you going to do?

That was quick. He comes back, and you fall on your knees.

It was easy when I bought you this. How 'bout now?

Oh, baby, you're driving me crazy.

Captain Hannigan? I'm Keri Ross.

You would be.

I beg your pardon?

Nothing. On my six.

Sir, did I miss something?

Young lady, what do you expect? You're the first cadet

to make detective out of the academy ever.

And there's not a dick in this two-bit precinct

that didn't have to work a decade

to get to where he is today.

But I wasn't trying to, you know--

But me no buts, Detective.

You have no friends here and don't expect to make any.

Why can't you just be happy for me?

There's nothing to be happy about.

C'mon, baby. You used to be all hard.

I don't need to be a part of that world anymore.

I have a good job here.

Here? Esto es basura, Rico.

You could buy me things like Serina, with all her clothes--

Yeah, you wanna pay that price?

Why? You're not like the rest.

I'm just like the rest.

Maybe he's changed.

You're just confused. Hmm?

Do you wanna go on a run for me?

Can I take your cruiser?

Sure. I need you to get me B-16 fuel

- on Mr. Rodriguez's account. - Okay.

I'm sorry, Rico.

I know it's going to be better this time.

He's a killer.

Nothing that happens will be better when he comes back.

What a fool.

We were young once, Dex.

Besides, her brother used to own these streets.

That's before we came along.

Economics 101, baby.

Better product at better prices.

Makes the world go round.

Sir, I don't quite understand.

Open it.

Sir, this is highly unusual. I don't--

Page six. Read it to me.

"Cadet Ross exhibits

extraordinary leadership abilities.

Her physical skills are far above average,

and her learning ability is quick and incisive.

She should be an asset to any precinct or duty station."

Look around. What do you see?

Chipped paint?

Exactly. Any modern equipment?

Any energetic crime-fighters tracking down clues?

Any computers less than 20 years old!

No, sir.

Here's your assignment. Have a nice day

Sir?

What is it?

Sir, I know you think I should be frustrated

landing in the worst precinct in Los Angeles because,

well, clearly you are,

and here you are, a highly decorated captain--

Now just take a breath. Relax, okay?

Sir, well... I'm sorry, sir.

I just want to do a good job on my first assignment.

And I don't care if it's a...

A shithole, right? Yeah.

Yes, sir.

Kind of a dumping ground.

Yes.

The fifth circle of hell.

Yes, sir.

Ross, you seem like a nice girl,

and I thought I was a nice guy,

but clearly in some unforeseen way,

somewhere in the world we must have made somebody very angry.

Yes, sir.

Because if you wanted to give the world an enema,

this is sure as hell where you'd start the hose!

Yes, sir.

Here are the keys to your locker.

Have a nice day.

Thank you, sir.

That was Connor.

He doesn't like to spend too much time in one place.

Grab a shower and head to the range?

Definitely.

Weapons down!

Seven up.

Not bad, Ross. Seven in the ring.

You drew Connor, didn't you?

What's he like?

Some say he's a monster.

I don't happen to share that view.

I'm a little scared.

Just take a deep breath and smile.

Hello, Ross.

Only thing keeps these assholes quiet

is the Krispy Kreme man.

Being that he got shot in a drive-by last month,

I figured it had to be you.

- Hey. Thanks for spotting me. - Not a problem.

Since it's the only nice thing I'm ever gonna do for you,

I figured might as well get it out the way in the beginning.

What are you morons looking at? Don't mind these monkeys.

The only thing they ever graduated from

was Alcoholics Anonymous.

You ready to go?

Oh, um... I mean, uh...

What's wrong? You can't start detecting until 12:00?

- No-- I mean yes. - Jesus Ross!

What'd you do, shoot somebody on the way to work?

This thing's still hot. I like that.

You're gonna fit right in around here.

Hey, chica! Need a little push?

Hey, little shorty.

Come on out here and get you some love.

If we can get it cranking, you can crank us, too, huh?

Let go of me!

- Hey, Rico! - Give me that!

Let go of me!

Tell my man Rico he got himself a nice piece here.

Rodney, Rodney, Rodney.

Do you need a word with Mr. Day?

- No, sir, no. - No, we're good.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

Excellent.

Ms. Cruz, would you please come with me?

I, um...

Come with me.

Rodney.

If there's a single scratch in the paint of that car

when it is returned to its owner,

you will have a problem.

Oh, baby, I love being with you.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Why can't you accept that I love you? Just you.

Don't I treat you well?

You drive me crazy.

Then why won't you do what I ask?

Because the plan's not ready yet.

The plans are never ready. There's always just big plans.

We're gonna get back at D-Day this way,

we're gonna get our turf back that way.

Plans, plans, plans, but no action.

Or are you just waiting for Marco to come and show you how?

Marco shows me nothing, all right?

I'm in charge now. I'm who's responsible.

Responsible for what?

For losing Marco's turf to the Double D's?

It's not my fault if Dexter and D-Day--

Marco and D-Day are twice the man you are.

No! No!

I don't wanna wait.

Good. Finally. That's the way my big strong man should talk.

These are big plans, C. I like these plans.

You're gonna be the death of me.

May I drop you at home, Ms. Cruz?

You can drop me anywhere, Chato.

Then you can drop dead.

Whoa. Do you know who this is?

You're lucky to be alive.

Yeah. Lucky.

I may not be popular in the Cruz family, miss,

but I assure you I mean you no harm.

Right.

So does your brother have plans upon his return?

Yeah. He's opening up a doughnut shop.

Wouldn't that be fortuitous.

For you, maybe.

Any other way, when he gets back,

he's going to make short work of your punk ass.

Ms. Cruz, perhaps I have been successful in taking over

many of your brother's um, enterprises,

but after all, he was scheduled for the gas chamber.

And you cousin C-Los?

Not to put too fine a point on it,

but he's a damn fool.

You know what? When Marco gets back,

I guarantee you he will take back every street

between here and 86th by Friday.

Singlehanded.

Your brother's a very violent man, Ms. Cruz.

That, I grant you

But I am not without resources myself.

Why can't things just go back to the way they were?

What?

Me with my South Central niggers,

and your brother with his... people?

Businesses must grow or die, Ms. Cruz.

It was true in Adam Smith's day, and it's true in Los Angeles.

Black, Latino, Armenian, it is of no consequence.

We cannot go backwards.

One side must control it, and the other side must die.

- - Lucy?

I don't wanna talk right now, Mama.

Tell me what's wrong.

- I had a fight with Rico. - Over Marco?

Over everything.

We don't even know if Marco's coming home.

Rico says Marco couldn't have changed.

All of us can change if we have faith in the Lord.

Do you think the Lord spared him?

Mija, you were a little girl.

You were 12 years old when he went away.

Please don't get your hopes up.

Don't you want him to come home?

Of course I do!

But I'm afraid.

I'm afraid of what we may become.

Don't you miss the respect?

You don't even try to go outside anymore.

I remember back in the day

when we would walk down the street, people would--

That was not respect. That was fear.

- So? - I'm going to see the priest.

Why? So he can call the policia?

Don't you ever speak about him like that!

- Ever! - If he was a man,

he would've never have testified against Marco!

Luis is a man. He is a man of God.

Oh, yeah? Is that what he whispers to you?

That is none of your affair.

You know what? You go to your church.

You talk to your priest because when Marco comes home,

trust me, that'll be the last time.

You're in a hurry.

Crime waits for no man, Ross.

Hannigan probably hopes we'll both get killed

in the same car crash.

The way you drive, I'll take that bet at even money.

Heard you had a long talk with Hannigan.

Did he give you the speech on my low character?

Or are you just a rat for internal affairs?

- You always this paranoid? - Just 'cause I'm paranoid

doesn't mean they ain't out to get me.

This says that Cruz might be back on the afternoon train.

The mayor wants you to leave town.

He always wants me to leave town.

You lied at Cruz's trial.

I exaggerated.

- There he is, the prodigal cop. - Hello, Luis.

You haven't graced me with your presence for such a long time.

I keep looking for you at confession.

Don't count on it, brother.

I got sins that ain't even been patented yet.

Thou shall not bear false witness.

That's a hot one right there.

Oh, Connor, you did the right thing.

You heard.

Of course. Bad news.

So what are you going to do?

Me? Nothing, of course.

Luis, have you thought this thing through?

I mean, what good will come if you stay?

What good came of you turning in your colleagues?

There's still plenty of crooked cops out there.

Two less than there were before.

Ah. At what cost?

Self-respect is very overrated.

But you don't have any friends to begin with, so...

You're right about that.

Hey, Connor!

Yes, old man?

Are you leaving Dodge?

Bring a horse for me, huh?

Don't think I won't.

Go, 4-7.

- Detective Ross? - This is Ross.

Is Connor there with you?

That's affirmative.

What's your 20?

Just coming up on Alvarado.

We have confirmation Cruz bought an Amtrak ticket

in his own name this morning at 7 am.

Roger, dispatch. Anything else?

As far as we can tell, the only train from Pelican Bay

arrives at Union Station at 4 pm.

10-4, dispatch. Seven out.

Hey, mister, can I have my ball back?

Please, mister?

Hey, mister, why don't you just give the kid her ball back.

Why don't you grab me some seven, Ross?

Nothing whets my appetite like a good gunfight.

You really think he'll come after you?

No doubt.

And that priest.

Don't look so surprised. I read the papers.

Oh. I thought maybe you studied it in the academy

under Amazing Tales of Detection and Mystery.

More like Amazing Tales of Bribery and Corruption.

Don't look at me. It's your fault he's out.

- You and those-- - Other what?

Dastardly crime-busters?

Whatever.

Just get me some chow.

Two, please.

Well, if it ain't Nancy Drew.

Shut up, Amir.

Name's Ali.

This is my legendary partner Amir, in his mind at least.

Dos.

So what's it like being a day-one dick?

You need an operation or just take the shots?

- Let it alone, Amir. - No.

I want to know who you had to blow to get this assignment,

or are you an IA rep from the get-go?

Your brother was Connor's partner.

- I saw you on the news. - That's right.

He's doing a triple nickel down at Lompoc

'cause of your lying sack of shit partner.

That's enough.

Here's your change, miss.

- I better go. - Okay.

If you loose your appetite every time you meet a jerk on the job,

you're gonna get hungry real quick.

Take a seat.

Take your time.

Sorry. Amir's okay,

but a lot of people think Connor should've been locked up

- instead of Amir's brother. - So I hear.

There's a lot of money flowing in these streets

between D-Day and Cruz's old crew.

A lot of cops were on the take.

I gather Hannigan thinks Connor was one of them.

Most cops do.

So what's it like to be a detective? How do you...

Put up with this? It's a job, you know?

Tried law school, but... I like the jazz, you know?

The buzz, the heat.

Okay, that's no answer.

I better go. Thanks.

Do you think Connor's straight?

You're betting your life on it.

Well, if it ain't Supercop.

Amir, I don't got time for your shit right now.

You wanna jerk me around,

you make an appointment with my secretary like everybody else.

Why? So you can rat me out like you did my brother?

Your brother? Your brother was a lying sack of shit.

And as far as I'm concerned, so are you.

No, you don't wanna be moving up on me right now.

You're done, Connor. Hannigan's upstairs with a hard-on for you

big enough to choke a donkey.

How would you know about his phallic size?

Are you his fluffer?

You wanna die? This is a good day for you to die.

I am definitely in the mood.

Hey!

Why waste a bullet on you when Cruz will do it for free?

- These all the checks? - Everything since last night.

Eight hundred thousand.

That should hold them through the weekend.

All right.

- 2:00 as usual. - Straight up.

Carlos Ruiz. Auto loans.

Really? Send her right up.

Serina Lopez.

What's it been, six, seven years?

Seven, baby. Not since high school.

Man, you look... good.

I am good, or don't you remember?

Jesus, Serina don't do that.

My wife works right downstairs in the vault.

Is she as good with you as I was?

Listen, Serina, things are different now.

I've just been promoted to assistant manager. I can't--

It's bank business I want to talk to you about.

- It is? - Mm-hmm.

I mean, of course it is.

Lucia?

¿Dónde está mi carro?

You ever think about the old days, Dex?

Sure, man. Who doesn't?

You like this better?

It's better than being shot at, man.

What if we gave it all up?

Man, Cruz got you that worried? Why?

I don't know, man. I mean, what has it got me?

Kayla's gone, the kids.

Man, it's like I got everything and nothing.

You could have any woman you want. What do you mean, nothing?

More like any woman I don't want.

We drug dealers, D! What'd you expect?

Yeah, I know.

Kayla wanted you out of this business a long time ago.

And you talked her out of it.

Look, I heard what you told that little Cruz girl in the car.

You said we have to grow or die.

Okay, well, look at all we got.

We got the car washes, we got the check-cashing joints,

we got the Jiffy Marts,

plus we own half the politicians in this town,

and that's worth money.

Yeah, and if you don't lay a package on the streets

every Saturday night,

how long you think we going to keep 'em, man?

We drug dealers, D. Huh?

All the rest of that stuff, that's just fronts, man.

You ain't no Bill Gates, man,

and I sure as hell ain't no Donald Trump.

It is what it is.

You're right, homey. You're right.

We the Double D's, baby.

It wasn't that long ago it was just you and me.

You know what I mean? Just, just us.

We should have kept it that way. I guess I'm just getting tired.

You better get untired

'cause when Cruz gets off that train,

he's gonna be ready.

I'm getting too old for surprises, man.

- One up. - One.

Hey, Rico!

How's it hanging?

Why? You taking a survey now?

No, not really. But I got something for you.

This belongs to your chica, don't it?

What's the matter? You think this is a trap or something?

Man, if I was trying to get over on you,

I would be thinking of something with a more style than this.

Besides, you out of the life, bro.

We don't go after civilians.

Ain't like your soon-to-be ex-brother in law.

Heard anything about him?

What do I look like, a redcap?

He either on the train or he ain't.

You ever think about getting back in the life, bro,

think about coming in on our side.

Don't know about you, but I sure was getting tired

of trying to bust a cap in your ass.

And I sure was tired of you trying to bust one in mine.

Carmela.

You startled me, Father.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

I see you standing back there every Sunday.

But we haven't talked in person for such a long time.

I know.

I just couldn't face you.

But you're here today.

Luis...

I have been saving this since the day Marco went away,

with the prayer that this day would never come.

No, Carmela.

Please, Luis, don't argue with me.

I want my son to come home,

but not if it costs you your life.

And you have paid so high a price already.

I used to be a much bigger part of your life.

And what did it bring?

You were witness to a crime that you would never have seen

if we had not...

Look, I believe that God puts us in these situations

to test us.

It's not our free will.

We know that.

Would I rather walk again? Of course.

Would I have had the courage to testify

if I knew I would end up like this?

This is why God doesn't permit us to see the future.

One day at a time. That's all we can handle.

Luis...

Use this for the living.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing. Just had a run-in with Cruz's sister.

Mr. Day and Dex came by.

I don't think they was too happy.

What did you expect, shit for brains?

I'm saying, we was just--

Just tell Dex 150,000 will do it for the whole weekend.

- All right, brother. - All right.

Fourteen hundred.

All right.

Don't spend it on the way back.

Big Rodney. I like that jacket, man.

When you'd get sprung from Folsom? That's a nice tan, too.

They open the skylight while you were pressing license plates?

If you get on the payroll, you can have a nice jacket, too.

I'll pass.

- King! - You still alive, Connor?

I guess Cruz ain't had time to get back yet.

Come back later. Oh, that's right. You can't.

You'll be dead.

What do you want?

How many of these places do he got?

Five! Six, six, six!

Times are good? You got expensive kicks on.

The drop is gonna be here, being it's closest to the bank?

Yeah, yeah, yeah! About 2:00!

- That right? - Yeah! So what?

As always, Mr. King, you have been most informative.

- Give Dunzio my love. - Bitch!

I suppose it's too much to ask what that was all about?

Dunzio Day is the head of the biggest street gang

in South Central Los Angeles, the Double-D's.

Now when Cruz went to jail,

his cousin C-Los took over the 86th Street operation.

Since then, D-Day's outsmarted C-Los every step of the way.

So?

D-Day uses these check cashing joints

to launder his dirty money.

C-Los has had his eye on knocking them off for years.

- Today? - With Cruz coming back,

C-Los has a lot more to worry about than this.

In adversity lies opportunity, Ross.

You ought to know that better than anybody.

You're crazy, C. Why don't we just wait?

- Marco gets out today. - Then he can help us plan it.

And take all of that money.

Hey, it's my money! It's my crew!

Technically it's the bank's money or D's,

depending on your point of view.

Yeah, well, soon it's going to be my money.

Or ours, depending on your point of view.

- Lucia. - Have you heard from him?

What's going on?

You're a child, Lucy. Go home to your mother.

- You are his cousin. - So? Tu es su hermana.

Have you heard from him?

What business is it of yours if I have?

Because.

I wanna know if he's gonna make something of 86th Street again.

Or if he's going to leave it the mess that you made of it.

A nice bruise on his sister

will make Marco a good homecoming present.

Stay out of this, Serina.

It's your fault that he's in prison anyway.

It is my fault?

Oh, it wasn't drugs, the murder, prostitution?

You had him go to confession so that rat of a priest

could testify against him at his trial.

It's called tactics, Lucia. Nothing more.

Besides, he needed to clean his soul.

Something you know a lot about.

That's enough. This is ridiculous.

We have better stuff to worry about.

Lucy, go home.

I'll call you when I hear from Marco.

Go!

I better not find out that you guys have double-crossed him.

$800,000.

D-Days men will pick it up this afternoon.

C-Los piss you off once too often?

This is my neighborhood.

This ain't been your neighborhood for a long time.

Take her home, Ross.

I don't want her walking the streets. Not today.

Pick me up at the boxing club down the street.

This won't take a minute.

Can I give you a lift?

In this thing? I don't think so.

Connor doesn't want you out here in broad daylight.

Like I care. I hate him.

That's a perfectly understandable reaction.

Is your brother coming back?

I don't know.

But if he does, somebody's gonna be sorry!

You don't know me.

And other than what I read in the paper,

I don't know your brother.

Which means you know nothing.

I know if you care about him,

you won't let him go up against Connor.

Of course you're going to say that.

You're the half-breed's partner.

That's not it. My father was a cop, okay?

A vato killed him not a half mile from here.

So that's why you became a cop, hmm?

For a little revenge on the rest of us?

The boy who killed him was 14 years old.

He didn't have a chance, but you do.

That's what Rico says.

You should listen to him.

Now can I give you a lift?

No. Tell Connor I said thanks for the ride.

So D-Day done pushed the 86th Street headquarters

way down here?

You are one hell of a businessman, C-Los.

It's nice to see you on your last day on earth.

I trust you got a warrant.

A warrant? Why would I need a warrant?

I heard I could get some great boxing lessons down here

in your fine establishment.

But that's right, you only take cash, don't you?

In your case, the lessons could be free, Connor.

That's true.

Free? Now that's funny. That's a bargain,

considering how much of your teaching staff

is gonna be laid up in the hospital.

You may scare them, homes, but you don't scare me.

Boo!

As you were, ladies.

This is great advice.

Connor?

Connor? Connor's a joto.

Don't under estimate him.

You're sure they're pulling something?

Oh, yeah.

They probably figure there's no down side.

If Cruz comes back, C-Los looks like he has it together.

If he doesn't, it's more money in C-Los' pocket.

And they finally get to push back at the Double D's.

And some long hard years of being pushed hard the other way.

What you get out of his sister?

- Nothing. - I wouldn't say that.

What now?

We're gonna see how the other half lives.

Thought you was leaving town.

Oh, I am, I am. Just wanted to come and borrow

some of this fancy luggage of yours,

but from the looks of things, I can't.

All right, so I'm leaving, too. You got a problem with that?

No, no, not at all, D.

I'm just a little surprised at you, that's all.

What, you think going up against Cruz is such a good idea?

Help yourself.

Nice.

Tahiti.

'Cause it's that time of year again

when you throw one of those nice parties

for your major dope connections.

It's a young man's game, Connor.

You know that better than anybody.

What, you been a cop now, 10--

15 years, D.

And the whole time, you've been LA's number-one drug dealer.

Look here, man.

My record's as empty as a base head's wallet.

I've never even had so much as a jaywalking citation.

And for that, I should be docked ten years of my pay.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Connor.

I owned every judge you ever put me in front of.

What were you supposed to do?

Maybe I should have shot you.

Maybe I'll shoot you right now.

But then you'd be the bastard everybody thinks you are.

They could only hang me once, right?

Look, Connor, I got some things I need to take care of,

so I hope you don't mind if I don't shake hands.

And you can see yourself out. You know the way, right?

Carlos Ruiz.

Yes, Mr. Day.

I believe your men just arrived.

Excellent. We'll meet the day after the bank closes

at the place we discussed, yes?

Of course. I'll make sure to give them the special bags

just as we arranged.

Thank you for your trust in me.

Thank you, Carlos.

You make me feel so good when you talk like that.

Si. Later.

Okay, bye.

- You disgust me. - Oh, really?

Perez, what are you doing here?

What a pleasant surprise. It's been a long time, eh?

- Where is everybody? - I don't know.

- Have you heard about Marco? - Yeah, I heard.

Isn't that great? The parties, the money,

a little sniff-sniff once in a while.

God, I miss those days.

Perez, what do you want?

If it's your old job back, the position's been filled.

I wouldn't work for you again if I were down to my last peso.

Ah! My man with the conscience.

Please leave Lucia out of this.

Out of what?

My thriving business enterprises?

You know what I mean. She's young. She lacks things

Things. Things. What do you mean, things?

Things you can't afford to buy her, huh?

You still want the vida that goes with them?

Just leave her out of this.

Rico?

Rico?

Rico!

Whew! I should just have this implanted in my brain.

What does implant mean?

Ask my fiancé. They cost me five G's.

Tickets, please.

Well, I guess I'd better freshen up.

I would love the pleasure of buying you dinner this evening.

Oh, thank you, but I have plans.

Hey, mister, where's your girlfriend?

She just went to the ladies' room.

If she went to the ladies' room,

why did the other man go with her?

Where we going?

Follow the money, Detective.

Follow the money.

They're turning.

Delivery in the alley. Less conspicuous.

What do you say we just hide and watch?

Never thought a brother would see the day

where he'd be waving at 5-0, and they'd wave right back.

Not like the old days, huh?

No. You and me and truckload of cash,

and we ain't even stolen it.

Tight.

It's some shit, ain't it?

Hope it don't change.

You scared, homes?

Cruz ain't all that. I'll cap his ass myself.

Sure. I'm gonna go take care of this business. Keep an eye out.

King!

150 as ordered, sir.

Straight up, baby. Straight up.

D ain't worried about Cruz?

Nah, no.

I'd be shaking in my Kenneth Coles right about now, man.

I'm telling you.

There's Sabre and Pariah right there.

What are we waiting for?

We can't very well arrest him for cashing a check.

- I better call it in. - No, no, no.

Not yet, not yet.

- May I help you, sir? - Yeah.

I'd like to cash a check.

This is a pretty large amount, Mr. Medina.

Do you have an account with us?

It'll be just a minute. It's an out of state check.

Mr. Medina, I can't verify the funds.

Oh, come on. Give a dude a chance.

I'm not authorized to cash a check that I can't verify.

Okay, lady, just give me back my check, okay?

I'll take my business someplace else.

Problem?

Yeah, I can't get through to his employer,

and the number on the check doesn't seem to be working.

I seen you in here before, sir?

No, and you ain't going to. Just give me back my check

and I'll take my business somewhere else more friendly.

Hey, this is a counterfeit check.

Bull! I cash them checks all the time at the liquor store.

Then why did you come here today?

Why you didn't go to the liquor store?

We take a dim view of crooks around here, dirtball.

Who you niggers calling a dirtball?

Operator, dispatch.

I'm a cop, Connor.

Ross, stay out of this.

Do not end up like your old man.

That's right. You're not the only one who can read.

When this is over, you'll get a brand-new partner.

Just let this bullshit be buried with me.

Yo, King, let the dude go. Give him back his check.

I got a tight schedule to keep.

We don't have no taco sauce.

You're in the wrong part of town. But we do have ketchup.

King! Hold on.

Something wrong here.

Hey, hey, King!

Damn it.

Operator, dispatch.

Dispatch, this is Ross.

King!

Shit!

- - Go! Go!

Rico! Rico!

- - Lucy, get behind me.

Connor!

Stay behind me!

Let me go, Connor! Just let me walk away!

Come on, Connor! We've known each other too long!

What's going on?

Just let me walk away!

Connor, what are you doing?

Shit, we both gonna die!

So, what happened to--

I don't know.

Perhaps he got off early.

May I borrow your phone a moment?

Of course.

You know, we never really got introduced.

My name is a Elena Mill.

Marco.

Marco Cruz.

Dunzio Day.

D! We was hit, man!

It was bad. They got it all, dog.

You all right, man?

Yeah, yeah. I'm fine, man. I'm good.

They got everything, man.

All right, drop everything and come on back.

You sure, man?

Most definitely.

Just walk away.

- - Rampart.

Captain, some fella says there's a hell of a shootout

at one of those payday money deals.

Connor.

Rico.

Lucia?

Ay, mija, what happened?

Rico's dead.

Oh, no! How?

He tried to stop C-Los and the Double D's

from starting a gang war.

I curse the day my sister was pregnant with that devil.

It wasn't C-Los' fault, mama. It was mine.

Rico tried to warn me.

And now I'll never have the chance to tell him he was right.

About C-Los,

about Marco,

and about me.

Ay, no, mija.

No.

Come on.

Look at that! Newspaper!

This isn't the money!

You said this was all set up.

I don't know! D-Day must have called after I left!

I don't know!

- How did he find out? - Just lucky I guess.

You said he was lucky when he got every dealer south of 94th

to work for him!

Man, I don't know, man! We had a bad day!

A bad-- A bad day?

We've lost everything!

You know, some people bring bad luck unto themselves.

I told you before, leave her out of this.

Oh, I'd love to, but some of us didn't have a choice.

You know Marco told me to take care of her.

Put money into her, get her anything she needed.

He know what else you put into her? Hmm?

Sorry, Ross.

It's Connor.

Hello?

Yeah. Okay. It's Marco.

He wants you to pick him up at Union Station in 20 minutes.

Police officer. I'm borrowing your car.

- What? - Now!

But I can't.

Have your mother call the precinct.

Tell them Detective Ross commandeered your car.

Have them call Connor on the radio.

If he doesn't answer, have them put out an APB.

- Hello, Serina. - Connor.

You didn't go with the others.

Marco's on his way back. I thought I'd wait here.

In case there are no survivors.

You're a cynic, Connor, and it doesn't become you.

Occupational hazard. What can I say?

C-Los loves me, and you know it.

Just not enough to fight for you.

Don't be so certain.

That hit against D-Day was real stupid.

You know D is three steps ahead of C-Los.

Just as you are.

Goodbye, Connor

I believe I won't be seeing you again.

Muerto y lejos?

Muerto y lejos. The only question will be

who will be dead and who will be gone.

And arriving on track 13,

the Cali Express from San Francisco, San Jose...

Hello, cousin.

Never thought I would see this day.

You have been running things well in my absence?

You know that I have.

And Serina?

Is she at home making herself beautiful for me?

I'm sure that she is.

The question is at whose home?

Whose home?

Come on.

Hola, mama.

Marco.

Donde esta Lucia?

I sent her away.

Porque?

I didn't want her to be here when you came home.

Porque no?

You need some time. You need to adjust, you know?

I'm not on parole or probation, Mamasita.

I'm free.

I didn't mean that.

Why is C-Los outside our home?

Cousin C met me at the train.

I don't want that animal near you.

Mama, C is my cousin.

Mi amigo.

Tu amigo?

You don't need an amigo like this.

Nor his devil of a girlfriend, this Serina.

Serina is his girlfriend?

That little whore who treated you like you were God.

How wonderful.

How truly wonderful.

Leave this old life behind.

Tell those savages to go away.

Por favor.

I made your favorite meal. Arroz con pollo.

Of course, Mama. Of course.

I have but a few errands.

Then I will be home.

Just you and me.

Errands.

I know what these errands are.

You think I don't know, but I know.

What do you mean, Mama?

Leave the priest alone. Leave Father Luis alone!

And the policeman. Leave the men alone!

Carmela...

Carmela?

Mama, this is not your affair.

You have turned this neighborhood into a slum.

You have made your sister into an idiot!

A girl who worships the ground that you walk on.

And worst of all, you take your own mother for a fool.

I'm not a fool, Marco.

I used to be, but I'm not anymore.

You will not talk to me this way.

I will go with my friends. I will come home.

You will cook for me and clean for me.

And most of all, you will forever shut up.

God will punish you.

We will never speak of this again.

What took so long?

Carmela and I had to set things right.

Mother and son.

It's all good now?

Very.

You've lost it all, haven't you, cousin?

I-- I don't know what you mean.

Yeah.

Very good.

No, it is taken care of.

So...

how much was your take this afternoon?

Take?

What take?

Authorities say the robbery at Payday Money in East LA,

was the most deadly instance of gang war in recent years.

Police refuse to speculate

how much the thieves may have taken.

The Payday outlets have in the past

been targets of money laundering investigations,

and there's no way to determine

how much may have been involved.

Looking ahead to Southern California weather,

we're expecting some rain in a couple--

What's all this, man?

It is what it is, bro.

Are you-- Are you crazy? Are you loco, man?

We've been hit, man.

We got to hit back. Hard!

They got nothing

They got nothing?

Pariah drove up out of there with 800 large!

They got nothing, Dex.

Ruiz filled the bags with newspaper on my order.

And you didn't trust me?

You didn't trust me enough to give me a heads-up on that?

Trust had nothing to do with it, Dex.

I made up my mind after you left, man.

Ruiz is supposed to be meeting me to give me the money.

I was hoping you'd roll with me and watch my back.

I can't believe this, man.

The great Dunzio Day gonna turn tail and start running.

After everything we done put together, man? Are you crazy?

I'm out, brother. I'm done.

I tried to tell you this morning.

Was it Cruz? I'll handle him, man.

I'll get B, I'll get Rodney, a couple of the other cats, man.

We'll get rid of him quick, man.

You take your vacation, man.

I'm not coming back, Dex.

Come on, man, what you doing?

We're the Double D's, man.

Dunzio, Dex, remember? Just the two of us.

Come on, baby! What are you saying?

Maybe we should have stayed that way, bro.

I can't... I can't let you do that, man.

After everything that we worked for?

We're lucky, Dex.

We never had to pay for anything we've ever done.

Let's start now, baby bro.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're bleeding. I'm sorry.

It's all good.

I'm sorry.

It's all good.

Dunzio?

We need to meet.

Father?

Lucia?

Father.

Father Luis, I'm so sorry.

I hated you for so long.

I thought what you did to Marco was unforgivable.

But now I... Now I know.

Lucia, Lucia.

Don't feel guilty for being human.

I missed coming to mass for so long,

and I used to love to come hear you speak.

But after...

Pensé que tu eras el diablo.

I thought you were the devil.

Perhaps you were right.

Look, I spent many long days and nights

wondering if what I did was the right thing

in the eyes of God.

Should I have stopped his confession?

Should I have disqualified myself?

In the end, I've come to believe that what I did was right.

Father, you have to leave right away.

Connor, was right. If Marco catches you,

he'll kill you.

Now, Lucia, I've been living on blessed time

since the first time he tried.

I have cursed this man, reviled him,

and forgiven him.

I was such a vain man.

But now...

the opportunity to see life from this chair

has opened my eyes to... to so many things,

just as your eyes are beginning to open right now.

Father...

Do you have a safe place to stay?

Sí, mi tía Cecilia.

You go and wait there until this is over.

- Father... - Go. Go. Go.

Freeze!

Lose the gun.

Move away. Now!

Lucia, are you okay?

I'm all right.

Better than you, bitch.

Yeah, I know what I'm asking. You gonna help me or not?

Hey, Paige, could you get me a cup of java while you're up?

- Two sugars. - But you're so sweet already.

They just brought this back this morning.

They're still sealed by the court.

It should be in the interview file.

When Luis agreed to testify, I let it drop.

I know it's in there.

- Paige! - Yes, sir.

Do we have any sharp scissors out there?

Yes, we do. I'm sure I can find you some.

Well, snap it up, will you?

You're gonna get me shot.

I'll sing at your funeral.

Detective?

Detective.

Detective.

Has anybody seen Ross?

She's probably at the spa fixing her makeup.

Thought today was your last day.

Why? You want my parking space?

Connor!

What?

What the hell was that massacre all about?

I spent half the day on the damn phone.

Save me the Dirty Harry speech, Captain. I quit.

You quit?

Yeah, I quit. K-W-I-T, kwit.

You can have my badge in the morning.

Right now I'm too tired to even reach into my pants.

Cruz got to you, didn't he?

Yeah, that's it.

I'm scared shitless of that little spic.

- Then? - If you don't know, Hannigan,

then you're too damn dumb to explain it to.

Connor, I got as much use for you as I do another dick.

You've all but torn that place apart out there.

Every decent cop out there hates your guts.

How decent of them.

I hear you used to be a first-rate cop

till you got caught cozying up with the rat squad.

Rat squad, my ass.

It's your new pals down at the Parker Center

that put these guys on the street,

making such piss poor money, they qualify for food stamps,

and then you send them on the street

up against gangs that make millions.

That only leaves them with a couple of options, Hannigan.

Sit on their asses and pretend to do the job,

take payments under the table like my ex-fine partners.

or get burned down and shot trying to do their goddamn job.

You're breaking my heart.

Yeah, well, your system still sucks,

or it wouldn't have partnered a nice little cop like Ross

with a monster like me.

- Starks. - Is this the police?

You stab 'em, we slab 'em.

There's an Officer Ross who took my daughter's car.

I believe she might be in some sort of trouble.

Really? So Detective Ross is in some sort of trouble.

She mentioned calling Sergeant Connor on the radio

or putting out an ABB.

- An ABB, ma'am? - Yes, sir.

I'll take care of this right away. Thank you.

Just doing my civic duty.

Detective.

Wake up.

Detective!

Wake up!

Where are we?

I think we're in a warehouse by the harbor.

Who's out there?

A couple of D-Day's chatos.

With the brains of a dog between them,

they forgot to take my cell phone.

Rampart.

Ali?

You.

Is Amir around?

Left after his run-in with you. Do you blame him?

I need you to do something for me.

Amir's dirty, and I think you know it.

What do you want?

Look, let's call 9-1-1.

- Okay, good. Go down. -

Go up. Okay, go over.

Damn it! It's gone! The battery!

With everything going on today, I forgot to charge it.

Let's try the precinct. 323-555-1000.

Down a little bit.

Okay. Okay, you got it. You got it, you got it!

Oh, it's gone.

One more. It's a long shot.

555-7189.

Okay, okay.

Right there.

- Go down. -

- Go over. -

Go down. Okay, good.

- Okay, you got it, you got it. -

Roe Connor. Hello?

Hello, Connor.

What do you want?

Connor!

Sorry about that, Connor. We'll get back to you.

Now you'll die.

Oh, no. Don't worry, little cousin.

I'm sure Detective Connor will cooperate.

And if he doesn't?

Well, then you die.

Oh, my.

If you'd shown this initiative working for my friend Dunzio,

perhaps he would still be alive.

No. Marco.

They should be here by now.

I have learned in prison.

Patience, my new friend.

I suggest you take a...

breath.

She's a handful, ain't she?

If it isn't the love of my life.

Come here.

Puta.

You can have her.

No, thank you.

Muerto, bandito perro. Muerto, bandito.

Muerto!

So when does Carlos show up with the money?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What?

I have a proposition, amigo.

Yeah, well, it better end with you dead.

It can end with your friend here in that condition.

- And my sister in the harbor. - I'm listening.

Have you ever seen that movie, Connor,

Where the bandito gets off the train,

and they have the shootout in front of the church?

Leave Luis out of this.

Be at the church in ten minutes, Connor.

If you make any call, we'll know it.

Throw both your cell phones into the street.

If we see any policia, anyone at all,

your partner and my sister will die.

Renko, it's Connor.

I need you to do something for me, and it could cost you.

Make sure she calls Ruiz. Have her meet him here,

and then follow me. You know what to do next.

Sí.

It will be done.

Renko? Thank God.

Oh, my God. Look at this.

Hello, Father.

Que pendejo eres.

Luis, shh. What's the matter with you?

We are in the house of God, for crying out loud.

What do you know of God?

Because it was the Lord that saved me!

Don't you think so?

No. The devil saved you.

Really?

I thought perhaps...

He had forgiven my sins.

You know something...

Something you should know a bit about.

Isn't that right, Father?

I haven't touched your mother since I've been a man of God.

And before that? Before that?

When I was just a boy in Argentina?

Huh?

When you were just a man, Luis?

Was she good?

In bed, mi mama?

You should leave this place.

Kill me or get out of here.

Kill you.

Get out or kill you.

Get out, kill you.

Now where?

Where shall we kill you?

Where shall we kill you?

Where shall we kill you?

On the altar? In front of Him?

You know, this will truly be justice.

Don't you think?

Marco!

If you don't want to die, get out.

You.

I will not kill you in Luis' church.

But on my mother's eyes, do not tempt me outside.

You're not going to touch me anywhere, Connor.

The whole world knows you're out to get me.

You'll get the gas chamber, Connor.

Not if he has witnesses.

You?

You're so funny.

Who's gonna believe you?

They'll know you're just trying to save your own devious skin.

Marco!

I will tell the truth.

Do as you're told.

Get out!

Watch your back, Connor.

I will not take no for an answer.

I wouldn't go for money.

I'm not going to leave out of fear.

You have paid a higher price

than anyone has a right to expect.

You sure you're not talking about yourself?

You follow directions well, Connor.

You know, in my country,

it's tradition to offer a man one last smoke before execution.

No, thanks. It's bad for my health.

Wouldn't want you to come down with nothing.

Well, well, well, Dexter.

Did D-Day make it out the country?

He's out of this world, man.

We've definitely formed an alliance, eh?

That'll last.

Long enough to see you dead.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Connor.

Ahh! After that?

Who cares, amigo?

With you gone, there'll be enough business for everybody.

And nobody's gonna miss you.

And just in case you try to adios...

We make a call.

And Ross is dead.

She may be tougher than you think.

- I have to go out there. - Luis, you cannot.

Look, the bishop wanted me excommunicated.

He wouldn't believe I was a witness.

He was convinced that I'd broken the confessional seal.

But it was Connor who came to my rescue.

Six rounds.

Six men.

Let's dance.

Isn't this great? Just like the old west.

Luis, you don't have anything to prove to anyone.

Why should you spend the rest of your life

looking over your shoulder?

We can go away. We can run away from anyone.

Anyone?

Anyone but Him.

Marco, no.

You're not like this.

What do you know of me?

You're my brother.

Get out of here...

or you're gonna end up like Rico.

You don't have to do this.

There's got to be another way.

Just not a better way.

I said get out!

You would have killed me.

Well...

Where do you want it, Connor? In the gut?

Where you would cry like a baby for your mama?

Or in the head where it's over quick?

Okay?

I hope you saved your soul, brother,

'cause your ass belongs to me.

You came close, Connor, but no cigar.

Move and I kill them both!

Okay?

Marco!

Look at this.

Riding to the rescue, Luis?

What a pitiful sight.

- Let her go! - Okay.

All right, all right. Go, go, go.

Whatever you say, Father. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

Well!

Somebody called the cops.

What do you know?

This neighborhood is really going to hell.

Take me, Marco. Let the others go.

You've seen too many movies, Luis.

Why choose when I can have both?

Marco! No! It's cold-blooded murder!

That's what you sent me to prison for.

Could it have been that you were right?

What do you think?

I'm sorry. Gotta go.

I hope you saved your soul, Connor.

'Cause your ass belongs to me!

Gotta get you to the hospital. You've lost too much blood.

It ain't over till it's over.

Please have your tickets ready.

I've been looking for some good luggage all day.

Mind if we take a look?

Looks like it's all here.

All right. Both of you turn around.

- Bitch. - Come on.

You know the drill. Turn around.

- Shit. - Come on.

How did you know?

I remembered that you went to Gage Middle School

from Marco's original trial record.

I had Paige cross reference the records

and found that Carlos Ruiz also went to Gage,

along with Jose Fernandez, whose body was found

near the train tracks late this afternoon.

I also remembered that Amir used to wear a Gage T-shirt.

When D-Day told Ruiz to fill the cash bags with newspapers,

he suspected that C-Los would try to rip him off.

It wasn't hard to get Ruiz to cooperate,

especially for you, Serina.

You talked Ruiz into stealing 800,000 cash

he was supposed to deliver to D-Day

when he decided to leave the country

and instead bring the 800,000 to you.

I saw Ruiz's ticket in the trash at the club

and figured Ruiz's plan probably went in the trash with it,

no doubt to be replaced by your new pal here, Amir.

You have sharp eyes, Connor.

When Fernandez failed to kill Marco on the train as planned,

the only option was for you and Amir

to kill Carlos Ruiz when he delivered the 800,000.

Then you and Amir staged your deaths to try and fool Ross,

figuring she'd be in too much of a hurry to check your bodies.

That way, you and Amir could make it across the border

before anybody caught up to you.

You know, Connor, there's a lot of money here.

Maybe you and I--

Me and you? No, no. I don't think so.

'Cause then Ross and Amir would have to hook up,

and I don't think Ross likes him very much.

You're such an asshole.

Let's book these two so we can get you to the hospital.

You're starting to look as pale as Hannigan.

Let's go. Turn around.

- Don't touch me. - Turn around!

Connor, are you coming?

Connor?

You still pulling the plug?

Yeah. There's nothing left for me here.

There's talk about putting you up for a Medal of Honor.

You earned it.

Ross earned it.

If those geniuses downtown got half a brain,

that's who they're gonna give it to.

You know, I was wrong about you, Connor.

I believed what they told me about you.

It was my fault.

I'm the one that should apologize.

LAPD gave me a semblance of a life.

I should've never spit in its face.

Well, in any case, good luck.

If they ever repeal Miranda or the exclusionary rule,

I'll give you a call.

Don't hold your breath, brother.

You seen Ross today?

No. She's taking some time off. I thought she's earned it.

Thought I might find you here.

That's why you're a master detective.

I pulled the plug. Looks like I'm not the only one.

Well, I'm thinking about it.

Hey. Funny thing.

When the bishop got back to the rectory,

he found that someone had left an $800,000 donation

- in the offering box. - Wow.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

Me? No, no, not me.

No. Don't look at me.

Connor, I, uh--

Lucy, I talked to the groundskeepers at the cemetery,

and they're gonna put fresh flowers on Rico's grave

once every week.

If you need anything else,

tell them it would be a personal favor to me.

It's not what lies behind us, Lucy, but what lies inside us.

I know.

Thank you for giving me my daughter back.

You're a good man.

I don't know about that, but thank you.

Luis, can I speak to you for a moment?

How long have you known?

That Cruz was your son?

A long time.

That's why you entered the priesthood.

His death is no reason for you to quit.

You are.

Maybe for a little while.

Unless Ross here gets her ass in a sling.

Then... you never know.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Did you mean what you said about coming back?

I know. Don't hold my breath.

Now you're learning.

I owe you everything.

Yes, you do, Ross. Yes, you do.

But not nearly as much as I owe you.

If I live long enough to see my kids grow

If I'm strong enough to let my past go

If I live long enough

I beg forgiveness for the game making me pissed

I just want to feed my kids

If I'm strong enough

I keep from doing bids

Puff a little herb in the meanwhile and live

If I live long enough

I create some works of art to last for years

and end a couple of careers

If I'm strong enough

- I'll ignore the finest bitch - If I live long enough

You'll see how real that Chino is

Is it possible for me to succeed

Without selling my soul for the wrong price

Time spinning backwards, my life in turnaround

Am I worth less when I'm not dissing

I got so much more beneath the surface

If you would listen you'd become immersed

With words of one of the most thought-provoking cats

You could converse with

Break bread and share a verse with

If we die share a hearse with

It's my 15th anniversary of my passion of writing

But you deem perfection in its own right

Or when I'm in the zone tight holdin' on with all my might

Kneeling clutching rosary beads Write and inscribe

Fighting to keep my man-child inside alive

But I'm too lost in anger trying to harmonize

And become one with the moments

That I'm standing in abandoning aborted theories of life

Fury and strife

Pestilent landscapes in the deserts of my mind

Trying to find the oasis My flow so racist

I don't want to die holding these four aces

I'm known in most places for having lyrics

that can fill 8,007 whole bookcases

But still I don't speak

I hate people more and more each day

But today I hate them like it's next week

And still I didn't peak, verbally

Kind of like I'm playing hide and seek

Who will be the one to murder me

I take it back to Jersey where I'm treated like clergy

Rhyme through a stethoscope in my open heart surgery

I make the sky bleed burgundy

I'm about to change my name to Earth

'cause you niggas think the world of me

If I live long enough to see my kids grow

If I'm strong enough to let my past go

If I live long enough

I beg forgiveness for the game making me pissed

I just want to feed my kids

If I'm strong enough

I keep from doing bids

Puff a little herb in the meanwhile and live

If I live long enough

I create some works of art to last for years

and end a couple of careers

If I'm strong enough

- I'll ignore the finest bitch - If I live long enough

You'll see how real that Chino is

If I live long enough to see my kids grow

If I'm strong enough to let my past go

If I live long enough

I beg forgiveness for the game making me pissed

I just want to feed my kids

If I'm strong enough

I keep from doing bids

Puff a little and live

If I live long enough

I create some works of art to last for years

and end a couple of careers

If I'm strong enough

- I'll ignore the finest bitch - If I live long enough

You'll see how real that Chino is
