The Shield 1x11

1. Previously on The Shield: I'm not gay.

2. Julien, come on.

3. I hate this thing inside of me.

4. You can't go through life hatin' who you are.

5. I pushed away everyone.

6. What about your alleged rape

7. of a 21-year-old white girl?

8. There's not a story here.

9. I'll take that as a "No comment."

10. I wanna thank everybody for coming out.

11. Hey, yo, yo! Hey, Kern!

12. Do that duet with Tyesha.

13. Rondell in the house.

14. Me and Kern, we been hangin' since we was kids.

15. We're still tight.

16. Don't you mean Kern financed your entry

17. into the drug business?

18. Yeah, no comment.

19. I'm gonna get my money, bitch.

20. Over my dead body.

21. Damn, that sound like a good idea.

22. No, shut up! This war ends here.

23. I'm never for sale.

24. You two can't make peace...

25. I'll see one of you in the morning.

26. T-Bonz!

27. Nobody else coming out of there.

28. Told you he was a bitch.

29. I'm the landlord, Rondell.

30. I let you use space that I own.

31. Now, you can't follow by my rules,

32. then I'll find someone who can.

33. How I gonna come up with the money, man?

34. It's easy, Rondell. Why don't you sell drugs.

35. Stop snorting your profit.

36. Oh, man, don't be like that.

37. Hey, you gotta hook me up, Kern.

38. You got Paula so high

39. this morning, trying to get laid,

40. she couldn't even sing.

41. I'll make it back up to you, Kern.

42. I always do.

43. Listen, don't make me beg, brother.

44. Just hook me up with the 50 grand.

45. Since when am I a goddamn ATM?

46. Oh, shit!

47. Shit! You all right?

48. Where's this 50 grand?

49. Rondell should be here any minute.

50. We don't ever touch the cash or the shipments.

51. I'm not waiting around all day. He'll be here.

52. Thought you knew what you were doing.

53. We do.

54. Then what's with the goddamn amateur hour?

55. Know how many people would love a crate through customs?

56. All right, let's set a new meet for tomorrow.

57. I'll drag Rondell here myself.

58. We'll get this all squared away. Tomorrow?

59. I'm not sittin' on that package. Goin' to the highest bidder.

60. Something comes into this neighborhood,

61. goes through me.

62. Guys, come up with 50 grand, you call me.

63. Oh, I'm gonna kill Rondell.

64. See, this is why I didn't show. Bastards tried to kill me!

65. Wait till I find who shot up my ride, man.

66. Good you got armor.

67. Who else did you call?

68. Uh, just you. I had some product on me.

69. What about the 50 grand you were to give to Jasper?

70. Look, I'm a little short on the 50 G's right now.

71. Short? You don't have the money?

72. Man, these guys were breaking in my business!

73. Who? Man, them bean-selling,

74. bow tie-wearing, skinny-suited,

75. Nation of Islam terrorists.

76. Same guys who shot at me!

77. What?

78. Yeah, they been rousting my dealers,

79. scaring away traffic.

80. Yesterday, three of them rolled up on the corner.

81. Preaching and babbling all sorts

82. of ancient biblical nonsense.

83. I swung on the main cat! Ka-pow.

84. Didn't even see it comi—

85. You saw these same Muslims shoot at you?

86. I figure they come lookin' for payback.

87. What you been hanging around ma all day long for, then?

88. Come on, Kern. I didn't think they was gonna touch you.

89. A-And I don't got no armored car.

90. What? Stay here till I get back.

91. I'm gonna go talk to 'em. Which way to Mecca?

92. That's the one.

93. Police. Are you all right in there?

94. Entering the premises. Step away from the door.

95. One Tango 13, requesting an R. A. and additional units.

96. We have a possible homicide and assault.

97. Roger that, One Tango 13. R. A. and backup.

98. She's gone.

99. Clear.

100. They nailed his feet to the floor.

101. What do you want me to do?

102. See if you can pull the nail out of the floor

103. without pulling through his foot.

104. I'll get some towels.

105. Whoa.

106. Whoa.

107. Let's go. Let's go.

108. All right.

109. Prop his feet up.

110. Gun!

111. Oh, God.

112. Oh, Jesus.

113. Are you okay?

114. Oh...

115. Yeah, sister, read it. No.

116. Come on now. No, no, no.

117. Excuse me, brother.

118. How about you, brother, don't you read the word?

119. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right here.

120. You, sister? catch my bus.

121. Oh, come on, sister.

122. My brother. May I interest you in one of our magazines?

123. they come to me.

124. You wandered into the wrong prayer group, Frosty.

125. We're looking for Xavier Salaam.

126. Xavier Salaam.

127. I'm Xavier Salaam.

128. Formerly Xavier Chris,

129. spent six years in Chino for manslaughter?

130. That's right. I'm Detective Vic Mackey.

131. We'd like a few words with you.

132. I'm happy to cooperate.

133. I hear you had a little run-in

134. with Rondell Robinson the other day.

135. You wanna tell me about that?

136. I was trying to distribute my magazines

137. on the same corner that Mr. Robinson's men

138. were attempting to distribute his drugs.

139. We fought briefly. It concluded.

140. You two kissed and made up, huh?

141. There will be no retaliation.

142. I thought you guys were "An eye for an eye,"

143. whacking off hands.

144. Those are the Jews and fundamentalist Muslims.

145. The Nation of Islam is an African-American way of life.

146. So you didn't shoot up Kern Little's car,

147. trying to get to Rondell.

148. The Nation does not murder.

149. You committed murder.

150. That was a long time ago.

151. And it was manslaughter.

152. Why this neighborhood?

153. Because it needs cleansing.

154. What if I said that's my job?

155. I'd say you were doing it poorly.

156. Oh, you can do better?

157. Yes.

158. You okay?

159. Yeah, I guess.

160. Get some rest, son.

161. Don't bother with that one.

162. Thanks.

163. You, uh, want someone to take you home?

164. No. I'm okay.

165. Okay.

166. Murder, torture, suicide. Where to start?

167. Home invasion.

168. Looks like they were after the life savings.

169. Family bank.

170. Brought their distrust of institutions

171. from North Korea.

172. Forced entry?

173. No, that was us.

174. Neighbors heard a conversation

175. for five, 10 minutes.

176. Then arguing, then loud music.

177. They recognize any of the voices?

178. No, just said they sounded young.

179. What a mess.

180. I got car trouble, man...

181. Uh, we just spoke to Xavier.

182. I don't get the feeling this guy's behind this.

183. I'm telling you, man, they did it!

184. If not them, then who, Mackey?

185. Bullets were aimed at Rondell. Who wants you out of the way?

186. There's all kinds of rival dealers poppin' up.

187. Taking away my business.

188. I've had shipments stolen.

189. And now these Muslims messing things up.

190. What am I paying you for, man?

191. Hey, another dealer comes in, I'm happy to clean it up.

192. But there's no way I'm strong-arming

193. a law-abiding citizen.

194. You have to work around it.

195. So do something about these new dealers, then.

196. I will. In the meantime, I'd be trying to come up

197. with the rest of that 50 grand,

198. and hopin' Jasper agrees to another meeting.

199. Look, I can't come up with the cash

200. till I got the drugs. Well, he's not

201. coming up with the drugs until he's got the cash.

202. Which screws both of us. So think of something!

203. Let's sweep up some of these new dealers.

204. Twist their arms till they tell you who's running them out.

205. Be a pleasure.

206. Right there. Right here.

207. He's going, he's going. Come on!

208. Come here!

209. Where you going, huh?

210. Come here.

211. Something not right there. Where you going?

212. Hey! Right here.

213. All right, spread 'em.

214. Put your arms back. Spread 'em.

215. Where you going, huh? Huh?

216. You're Rondell's friend.

217. His right-hand man. I am.

218. One of your dealers broke him and took away his Pop-Tarts.

219. Selling Rondell's dope behind his back

220. while he's out chasing a bunch of bow ties.

221. That's a pretty ballsy move.

222. You give me too much credit.

223. Yeah? I guess we should just apologize.

224. Let you go, then, huh?

225. No. We gotta settle this. Settle what?

226. You say you didn't shoot up Kern's car. We think you did.

227. That's what we're gonna tell Kern.

228. Not a good enemy to have.

229. Things gotta change.

230. The Nation of Islam is bad for business,

231. and Rondell wasn't hearin' it.

232. So you figured he'd hear about 50 slugs

233. in the side of Kern's car? I just know

234. it's gonna take a smarter man

235. than what we got now.

236. You dumb enough to think that smarter man is you?

237. Things are about to get

238. crazy and dangerous out there.

239. Well, lucky for you,

240. you'll be sitting safe and snug in a cage in here.

241. You're expecting some kind of reward?

242. We solved 23 murders with one bust.

243. What do we get? No bonus, no time off.

244. Not even a commendation. What is that?

245. You broke one serial killer case.

246. Get off your high horse.

247. You, uh, think they noticed us?

248. Police. We're looking for Rhee-Soo.

249. Rhee-Soo? Are you Rhee-Soo?

250. Is there a place where we could talk?

251. It's about your father.

252. Young-Ho.

253. Young-Ho?

254. Uh... can anyone help us?

255. Uh, does anyone here speak English?

256. You'd better come with us.

257. No one here speaks English?

258. I know it was rough.

259. Yeah.

260. Don't spend too much time asking why.

261. Vic says if it was Dragon 10 or Flaming Fists,

262. they would've tagged the walls.

263. So our killers are merely working freelance?

264. What a relief.

265. No telling how much they got.

266. Our victims had a checking account, but no savings.

267. Deposit $1000 every two weeks, to write checks against.

268. Father owned a butcher shop for years.

269. Probably squirreled away a small fortune.

270. We should put out the word for any kids blowing cash.

271. Oh. What?

272. I should've thought of that. It's a good idea.

273. You would have, given time.

274. Uh, Dae, you're here. Great, could you do us a favor?

275. What? We need to talk to this woman.

276. She doesn't speak English. Can you translate for us?

277. I don't speak Korean.

278. Really?

279. I was born in Torrance.

280. Dae speaks less Korean than you do.

281. Better call Division for a translator.

282. Already done.

283. You feeling all right?

284. Yeah, sure.

285. Then pick up the pace.

286. You're doing a 12-minute mile.

287. Hello, Maureen.

288. David Segovia Aceveda.

289. I knocked but, um...

290. A little out of your comfort zone, aren't you?

291. I struggled with whether to come here or not.

292. A phone call didn't feel right.

293. I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time.

294. She interviewed me two days ago, David.

295. When you pursue a council seat, they open up all your closets.

296. And I'm your biggest skeleton.

297. Actually, it was quite healing, sharing what happened.

298. And what did you tell her happened?

299. The ambitious Latino pursued the rich white girl,

300. got her drunk, tied her up,

301. subjected her to sexual acts against her will.

302. He continued to stalk her obsessively

303. until one night she was forced to fend him off with a penknife.

304. Leaving anything out?

305. Just the truth.

306. I thought maybe your hatred for me would—

307. It's been 15 years, Maureen.

308. Fifteen years later, I still hurt.

309. What do you want from me now? An apology.

310. I'm sorry you felt hurt. An admission of what you did.

311. I did nothing wrong.

312. We'll let the public decide.

313. My friends, they know people at this newspaper.

314. One phone call, they say

315. the whole story will just disappear.

316. Then why did you come here?

317. I thought we could make some sort of peace

318. after all this time.

319. Then you wasted a trip. I have to get back to work.

320. What happened?

321. We were gathering peacefully, then shots rang out.

322. How's your buddy?

323. He hit his head diving for cover.

324. But... that's the only casualty.

325. Lucky. Allah's will.

326. Know who did it?

327. Rondell Robinson.

328. How do you know that?

329. Because we saw him.

330. He was fast. We tried to catch him.

331. We couldn't, but we will.

332. No. I will. You just file your police report

333. and let us handle grabbing up Rondell.

334. I have little faith in your cooperation.

335. Cooperation sounds like we're together.

336. We're not. You stay out of my way.

337. That's easy.

338. We're headed in opposite directions.

339. My father lost his life savings.

340. He couldn't protect my mother.

341. He would've been ashamed.

342. He must've felt he had no choice.

343. We think her father knew his attackers.

344. They talked for a while before.

345. Does she have any idea who would do this?

346. No idea.

347. We're sorry about your loss.

348. I'm, uh— I'm off in there.

349. You leave your A game in your cereal bowl this morning?

350. Through a translator

351. there's no back and forth. No rhythm.

352. Well, I say she's lying about something.

353. You learn Korean in the last half-hour?

354. I don't tell liars by listening.

355. I tell them by watching.

356. Body language? Come on,

357. it's a completely different culture.

358. People are people, aren't they?

359. I'm sorry to have to tell you this,

360. but Matthew has been wait-listed.

361. Wait-listed? But you said we were in.

362. The admission board still had to review your application.

363. Well, what's the problem?

364. The Glenridge families are a very tight-knit community.

365. The admissions board selected a family they felt—

366. Uh, when the Demicellis interviewed last week—

367. Last week?

368. I thought the deadline was three weeks ago.

369. There were special circumstances.

370. What special circumstances?

371. Some of our trustees saw an article in the paper.

372. You and some other officers—

373. My husband— He didn't steal those drugs.

374. The— The charges were dropped.

375. Yeah, if I really did that, uh,

376. do you think I'd still have my job?

377. I'm sorry. There are other programs

378. that are quite good for autistic children.

379. We don't want another program.

380. How long is the wait list here?

381. Nine months. Maybe a year.

382. Matthew's behind already. He's drowning socially.

383. I really am very sorry.

384. Hey, Danny, you got a sec?

385. What's up?

386. Linda here decided

387. to have a crack party in her El Camino.

388. That's nice.

389. Yeah, problem is she likes to keep her stash

390. where the sun don't shine.

391. You up for a strip search?

392. Ask some rookie.

393. You're the only female uniform here.

394. Come with me.

395. Okay, lean over.

396. I got my period.

397. Keep your mouth shut, please.

398. Yo, my lips are sealed.

399. Not for long. Put your palms on the floor.

400. Aw, come on.

401. You don't have to touch my string.

402. Hey.

403. Who's in charge here?

404. I'm the captain. Can I help you?

405. We have a citizen's arrest.

406. They were selling crack cocaine on the street corner.

407. Go ahead and book 'em. I'll need your statement.

408. This is my statement:

409. We will not rest until the dealers—

410. and the police who provide them comfort

411. —are brought to justice.

412. Farmington has a veneer of tranquility.

413. But the dermis is infected.

414. Could you be more specific about the dermis?

415. Those drug dealers that we apprehended,

416. now, they might as well have been wearing a sign that read,

417. "I have no fear of being arrested."

418. Really? I couldn't believe it.

419. It— It was clear that they were just soldiers.

420. The captains and the general are still at large.

421. Any idea who they might be?

422. Hey, Vic.

423. What the hell are you doin' here, man?

424. This is the only place safe, man.

425. Look, I tried to kill them bastards, man—

426. Come on. —but I missed.

427. I can't let 'em find me, Vic.

428. Vic.

429. You're a goddamn drug dealer!

430. You can't be comin' where I work!

431. They looking for me out there!

432. They're looking for you in here!

433. You're supposed to help me, Vic.

434. Been telling those Muslims I'm backing you?

435. Well what good is police protection,

436. if no one knows about it, huh?

437. Go home. Stay there.

438. I can't go home!

439. They could be waiting for me, man.

440. Well, go somewhere, 'cause you ain't staying here.

441. If I go down, I ain't going down alone, Vic!

442. What?

443. That's right, you heard me.

444. You better do something about it!

445. You better do something.

446. I've had my suspicions about Rondell.

447. Questioned how he so easily operated within our district.

448. What cops do you believe he's in league with?

449. I'd rather not say at this time.

450. Oh, come on. Not until there's

451. 100 percent certainty.

452. The wait won't be long.

453. Where will you be if I need to speak with you further?

454. In your lobby.

455. Until we're satisfied that this matter has been settled,

456. the Nation is not leaving this building.

457. Tomas, I spoke to your legal aid guy.

458. Stealing CDs?

459. Look, what were you thinking?

460. With your prior record,

461. he said you could get prison time.

462. Hey.

463. Say... something.

464. You abandoned me.

465. What?

466. You never called.

467. That cop told me not to call.

468. He tell you the same thing?

469. I wanted you to call.

470. I needed you to call.

471. I'm sorry.

472. It's too late now.

473. I'm goin' away.

474. I'm scared.

475. I screwed up, I know.

476. But...

477. where were you for me?

478. What do we know about the family

479. that got Matthew bumped onto the waiting list?

480. Banker and his second wife,

481. livin' real large.

482. They got a-a house in Brentwood.

483. A ranch in Telluride.

484. So Matthew's stuck because this rich prick

485. can buy his way in?

486. It sucks. I'm— I'm— I'm sorry.

487. What about the dirt on him?

488. There's nothing. Nothing.

489. Th-Th-There is nothing.

490. Ms. Emerich?

491. She's clean.

492. There's gotta be something.

493. She's a... school administrator.

494. She's pristine.

495. Domestic abuse,

496. an alcoholic brother.

497. Give me somethin' I can use.

498. The only record of her in the system

499. is a police report that she filed three weeks ago

500. when her house was broken into.

501. Well, let me see it.

502. Excuse us, detectives.

503. What? I got a million things goin' on, here.

504. A million and one.

505. Xavier Salaam has an interesting take

506. on how dealers keep managing to slip through the cracks.

507. He's actually got his men out doing your job.

508. Salaam also thinks someone took a shot at him.

509. Rondell Robinson, to be exact.

510. Still to be proven.

511. By five or six eyewitnesses.

512. Couple of uniforms went by Rondell's house.

513. He wasn't there.

514. He shouldn't be too hard to find, though.

515. It'll be real interesting

516. to hear what Rondell has to say.

517. You doing okay? You don't look so hot.

518. I'm fine.

519. Good.

520. I'll leave you to your work, then.

521. Maybe it's all in the family.

522. Rhee-Soo has a son with a rap sheet.

523. You think the kid went from loitering and shoplifting

524. to strangling Grams and nailing Grandpa's feet to the floor?

525. Well, they probably had tens of thousands of dollars

526. in that mattress.

527. Who else but a family would know about it?

528. No way. Robbing the grandparents, maybe,

529. but nailing the feet?

530. You rarely see that kind of sadism

531. amongst family members.

532. So then, let's see your list of suspects.

533. Three Korean male teens just spent a ton of cash

534. on jewelry.

535. I wrote the address in English for you.

536. Thanks.

537. Hope you found your game, 'cause I'm on mine.

538. Three boys.

539. Very flashy.

540. Spent over 7000.

541. On what?

542. Chains. Men's and the woman's.

543. Thank you. Have you seen any of these boys?

544. Him. He bought the biggest bracelet.

545. He paid for all the stuff in cash.

546. Probably Christmas gifts for the rest of the family.

547. Do you have the cash they spent?

548. We need it.

549. You, uh, give me different $7000?

550. No, we'll give you a voucher.

551. When do I get the money back?

552. It's evidence in a murder.

553. If we retrieve the merchandise, we'll see it's returned to you.

554. So I never get my jewelry back either, right?

555. Why did I even call the police?

556. Because you're a good citizen.

557. Not anymore. Too expensive.

558. Ladies, backs against the cage.

559. No talking.

560. Hm.

561. You finger yourself after you fingered me?

562. You bitch.

563. Hey, watch your mouth. Show her some respect.

564. Hey, relax.

565. Come on, ladies, your ride's here.

566. Move it along, single file.

567. I don't need you getting in someone's face

568. every time they look sideways at me.

569. Look, I'm just sticking up for you.

570. Yeah, like you did with that drag queen who bit me?

571. What?

572. Mackelroy just told me

573. about the blanket party you guys threw.

574. What the hell were you thinking?

575. Julien, that guy is seriously hurt.

576. Why would you do that? Is that who you are now?

577. After what he did to you? Exactly.

578. To me.

579. You should've stayed out of it.

580. He tried to kill you.

581. He's the criminal. Remember, Julien?

582. You know, after all the problems we had,

583. the one thing that I could count on

584. was the fact that you had a good heart.

585. Okay, boys.

586. Your turn. Let's go.

587. Machado and his hatchet men had my story killed.

588. Well, I'm sure there'll be more stories.

589. Like the Nation of Islam standing sentry in your lobby.

590. That'll be the second one I sell.

591. I left La Unidad.

592. I'm freelancing now.

593. My first sale was to the Times.

594. It's a piece about an ambitious police captain

595. who uses aggressive tactics

596. to hurt people and squelch the truth.

597. Just like you did 15 years ago.

598. I thought you'd like to see a first draft.

599. Feel free to call with any questions.

600. If he ain't up here, man, I don't know where he's hiding.

601. Used to come here all the time when we was shorties.

602. Yo, Rondell!

603. Rondell, put the gun down, you shithead!

604. Vic? Yeah, and Kern!

605. You two okay, man? You shot at me!

606. Gonna talk to him. I'm sorry. Well, I'm done.

607. Vic, I didn't know it was—

608. Oh. Ah!

609. You shoot at me, you die! Vic, man. No! No!

610. No! No! No! No, Chill! What you doing?

611. It's us, chill!

612. No! Chill, Mackey. Mackey—

613. You wanna join him? We got a problem!

614. Look at those people down there. Come on!

615. That's my boy, man. We got history, man. Chill!

616. He could've killed you and me.

617. He's a problem. No, no! Mackey, no!

618. No! Chill, man! No!

619. No, Mackey, no! No, chill. Chill, man.

620. He won't be a problem. I'll take care of him.

621. Take him someplace. These cats won't get him.

622. Just chill, Mackey. I'm all over it, man!

623. Chill, all right?

624. Just chill. Come on, man.

625. If he's a problem again, you got a problem.

626. Next time, you better grow wings.

627. What are you doing?

628. Just getting us privacy.

629. What for? Explain to me why

630. it wasn't the stupidest move of your life

631. to try to take out Kern Little with Rondell.

632. Rondell was telling everybody that you and Kern had his back.

633. That y'all were dealing out retribution

634. if any harm came Rondell's way.

635. Let me get this straight, after you took out

636. Rondell and Kern, you were gonna come after me?

637. No way, man. You?

638. I knew I could reason with you.

639. Well, start reasoning, then.

640. What do you wanna know?

641. Why are you a better dealer for me than Rondell?

642. I don't use my own product.

643. Rondell does, more and more.

644. He's getting sloppy. This Nation of Islam thing

645. came on when he was high.

646. How would you have handled it?

647. Let 'em have the corner.

648. Move three blocks over.

649. Dopers follow the dope.

650. Pissing off the bean pie crowd just gives them reason to live.

651. Throw a little bit of that peaceful resistance

652. right back at 'em, huh?

653. Mm-hm.

654. Now, if I'm done fillin' out the job application,

655. let's talk about how much rent's gonna be.

656. Actually, 50 grand lets you move in right away.

657. Good thing I've been saving.

658. It's a good thing.

659. David, what's wrong?

660. Hang on.

661. Shit.

662. I'm sorry. I just can't seem to focus.

663. Varela interviewed Maureen Wilmore.

664. Oh, God.

665. She still blames me for what happened,

666. and now the article could run in the Times.

667. Great.

668. I went to talk to Maureen.

669. What? When?

670. Today. Why?

671. I thought, maybe if I could convince her...

672. But she's sticking to her story.

673. What did you expect?

674. I was hoping I could reason with her.

675. Reason with her? You said she was a crazy girl.

676. That was 15 years ago.

677. David, 15 years... is nothing to a woman.

678. My guy at the Times says the Metro editor likes it,

679. but can't confirm it'll run.

680. What happens if it does?

681. Then, uh, change your name to Kennedy.

682. You move to Massachusetts and you'll be fine.

683. It's critical, but it's not fatal.

684. Isn't this libel? Technically, yes.

685. The law presumes a statement is false,

686. unless she can prove the contrary.

687. You show damages, you have a case.

688. But the damage to you will already be done.

689. What are my options?

690. Get this woman to recant before it prints.

691. I already tried.

692. Try again.

693. She wants me to admit I hurt her.

694. Apologize for a rape I didn't commit.

695. I won't do it. David,

696. if she's willing to make it go away,

697. you give her what she wants.

698. Won't Varela still print the story?

699. Not if this woman denies it. It's survival, David.

700. You wanted in the game.

701. Now is when it starts to get fun.

702. Ms. Emerich.

703. Mr. Mackey.

704. Look, I understand your frustration.

705. Actually, I'm here on police business.

706. What's that?

707. I understand you had a ring stolen from your house

708. about a month ago.

709. The report said it was an heirloom.

710. Yes, it was my mother's.

711. I was hoping to give it to my daughter someday.

712. Can I be brutally honest with you?

713. Okay.

714. Hollywood Division's never gonna get your ring back.

715. I figured. Let me explain.

716. The police have the resources to solve almost any crime.

717. It's just a matter of making it a priority.

718. To them, a stolen ring doesn't rate very high.

719. I guess not.

720. I can see it's very important to you.

721. Maybe there's something I can do.

722. Looks like they're not budging.

723. Guess not. Did you find the ring?

724. I gave your guy, Phillipe, a detailed description.

725. It hasn't passed through his pawnshop,

726. but he's checkin' around. Good.

727. Guy's kind of whacked.

728. He bet me 50 bucks he could find it in less than 12 hours.

729. Did you take the bet?

730. Oh, damn right.

731. Bad move. You don't know Felipe.

732. We know your son, Nam Yung, has been in trouble before.

733. She only wants to talk to him.

734. What? Why?

735. Because she doesn't wanna talk to me.

736. Why?

737. Oh, no. You tell her we don't do that.

738. Dutch, whatever. Just as long as she talks.

739. Fine. Um...

740. ask if there's any ill will between her son and her parents.

741. She won't answer that. Would you let her decide that?

742. I'm sorry. I know she won't.

743. If she thinks we're prying into her family's business,

744. she'll shut down completely.

745. So I can't even do my job now?

746. Dutch, just work with it.

747. We're looking for Nam Yung, and his friends Kenny and Paul.

748. They were arrested together in the past.

749. Do you have any idea where they are now?

750. He stayed at Kenny's house last night.

751. We talked to Kenny's mother.

752. She thought they were at your house.

753. I guess teenage lies are pretty universal.

754. I never told that one before.

755. Detectives,

756. there's been another home invasion.

757. Oh, our home wreckers

758. left their hammers behind, this time.

759. This family gave it up.

760. No one's talking, but whatever they took,

761. they took it all.

762. Who called 911?

763. Uh, I did.

764. They don't like to talk about these kind of things

765. in front of other people.

766. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

767. What happened?

768. They got all our money.

769. They— They took my Xbox. They took the games too.

770. Well, did you recognize any of them?

771. Sure, uh, it was my cousin and his two buddies.

772. Look, I just want my Xbox back.

773. Que pasa?

774. Graduation party. Kid's got a gun.

775. One Tango 13 requesting assistance,

776. 8266 Alameda.

777. You go through the house, I'll take the side.

778. Come on. Stay out front. Move. Okay.

779. Go. Move.

780. Julien, wait!

781. One Tango 13, shots fired! Move it!

782. Get back.

783. I'll shoot, man. I swear, I'll shoot.

784. Are you deaf?

785. I said, I'll shoot you. Get away from me.

786. Go ahead.

787. You wanna die?

788. Shoot me.

789. I said, I'll shoot you!

790. Shoot!

791. Julien!

792. Give me the gun.

793. Get on the ground.

794. Julien.

795. I got him.

796. I got him.

797. Hey, you guys all right?

798. Nice save.

799. Nice work, Julien.

800. I'm just glad everyone's safe.

801. Well, it could've been bad.

802. Who knows, come commendation time,

803. maybe we'll hear your name.

804. Good job. Way to go.

805. Yeah, you're a real hero.

806. What's that supposed to mean?

807. You're not wearing a vest, are you?

808. I forgot to wear it today.

809. You holstered your weapon at the scene.

810. After the suspect was on the ground.

811. No, I talked to the suspect.

812. I made the arrest, all right?

813. Did you wanna get shot?

814. Julien, did you wanna die?

815. Why? You can tell me.

816. I do things. Things that can't be forgiven.

817. And I can't stop myself.

818. I know.

819. You have no idea.

820. You're gay, okay?

821. I'm your partner.

822. I know. It's not worth dying for.

823. Fighting this is killing me.

824. Then stop fighting.

825. I would rather die than be that.

826. You don't mean that.

827. I can't go on like this. I can't.

828. What's up, money?

829. I got the name of your shooter.

830. Who? Tio.

831. That's Rondell's dog. Used to be.

832. All right. I'll make sure no blood don't spill your way.

833. There's more.

834. Rondell's out.

835. This kid, Tio, he's in. What?

836. Rondell's been blabbing all over town,

837. you and me both are protecting him.

838. Man, that's just Rondell talking.

839. Well, that talk got your car shot up,

840. and the Nation of Islam camped out in my back yard

841. to make me into the devil. Listen, Mackey—

842. Rondell's using. He could've killed us both yesterday.

843. He nearly messed up a relationship

844. that's gonna be very valuable to me.

845. He got one of my acts high. Ruined the whole session.

846. Tio's prepared to make restitution.

847. I'm makin' the change.

848. Whether you wanna fight it or not is up to you.

849. Me and Rondell, we grew up together, man.

850. We got a lot of history, son.

851. People change.

852. I don't really recognize him no more.

853. So, what do we do now?

854. Tell him it's safe to go home.

855. Then we let the street take care of it.

856. Police! Face down!

857. Get your hands behind your back! Lie down!

858. We're clear!

859. Clear!

860. When I was a kid, we just tipped cows.

861. The three of you...

862. decided to rob your own relatives?

863. We just wanted what the other kids had.

864. You killed your grandmother.

865. No, Kenny did that.

866. You didn't stop them.

867. They should've just told us where the money was.

868. You nailed your grandfather's feet to the floor.

869. Kenny did that too.

870. Why?

871. Grandfather kept following us around.

872. He wouldn't sit still.

873. Oh, my God.

874. It's beautiful.

875. I can't believe you got it back.

876. Just have to know where to look.

877. I don't know how to thank you.

878. You know how to thank me.

879. I don't know. It's a little late.

880. Special circumstances.

881. Look, my family will be a great asset to this school.

882. You win.

883. You've arrested Rondell Robinson?

884. Not yet, but he's not gonna

885. be a problem for you anymore.

886. He was your problem, not ours.

887. Well, we're both on the same side.

888. I doubt that.

889. There's nothing I can say to you, is there?

890. Admit you're evil.

891. I'm out of here.

892. Sure you don't wanna wait this out

893. at a Best Western?

894. Hell of a lot more restful.

895. You get your rest, detective.

896. The peddlers of illegal drugs can hide,

897. but we know where to find you.

898. As long as you keep it legal,

899. you'll get no trouble from me.

900. You have a good night.

901. Thank you for seeing me.

902. What do you want, David?

903. I know you're still upset. I understand that.

904. But I need you to tell the truth

905. about what happened that night.

906. You need me?

907. Don't.

908. Remember?

909. I'm married now.

910. Stop it.

911. You wanna save your political career?

912. Then I want you to say it. Say it just once.

913. Admit what you did to me, so I'll know I wasn't crazy.

914. Asshole!

915. You're recording this? You're unbelievable.

916. Varela said it was the only way the Times would print.

917. Why are you doing this?

918. I was just a kid.

919. I wanted to explore sexually. So what?

920. That's right. You wanted to explore.

921. You loved it. Then you got tired of me.

922. You go tell your friends about the crazy white bitch

923. who likes to be tied up and choked.

924. What?

925. Two of them came to my room.

926. They held me down... and raped me.

927. They said they heard that I liked that.

928. Oh, my God.

929. Who?

930. Mark and Peter.

931. Don't tell me you don't remember.

932. I don't. Mark and Peter. I... barely knew them.

933. You knew them well enough to tell them how to hurt me.

934. Oh, Maureen.

935. You sent them there to rape me!

936. No, I didn't. I am so sorry—

937. Don't touch me. You are responsible.

938. Maureen, I am so sorry.

939. Stay away from me.

940. You know, you tell that slut you married

941. I feel sorry for her. Maureen.

942. Hey.

943. Something you wanna tell me?

944. I love you?

945. Well, I love you too. Now, how'd you do it?

946. Do what?

947. Matthew was accepted into Glenridge.

948. Really? That's great.

949. Oh, please. Stop with the act.

950. That woman thought you were a criminal,

951. today she's calling up to set an orientation?

952. Fess up.

953. Uh, it could happen.

954. What did you do?

955. Nothin' any dad wouldn't do.

956. Come here.

957. Oh... well, thank you.

958. Matthew really needs this.

959. What about the other family?

960. Well, they missed the deadline. They broke the rules.

961. Don't worry. They'll be fine. They're loaded.

962. You and the kids come first.

963. Oh...

964. Remind me not to get on your bad side.

965. Young black male.

966. Shot numerous times at close range.

967. No witnesses. Now we're talking my language.

968. Don't tell me.

969. Oh, yeah. I think I'm back.

970. Well God help us.
