5. Shoot!

6. Did you wanna get shot?

7. Julien, did you wanna die?

8. You have no idea.

9. You're gay.

10. Okay? I'm your partner.

11. I know it's not worth dying for.

12. Terry here is losing his cherry tonight. He's coming with us.

13. Congratulations, man.

14. My guys tipped you off

15. that Terry was to take you down.

16. Ben, the bust just went bad.

17. My source at Justice is all over my ass.

18. He wants to know if you made us all accomplices to a murder.

19. "Farmington cops investigated for stealing drugs"?

20. I was sick when I saw that.

21. Do you have any idea how this got out?

22. Yeah, you leaked it.

23. I'm tired, Vic.

24. I-I just can't keep explaining these messes

25. or cleaning up after 'em.

26. Ben.

27. No, I just can't have your back anymore.

28. I thought I owed it to you

29. to tell you.

30. Hey!

31. Let's go! On the ground!

32. Get down!

33. Police! Down!

34. Cethru, how many times do I gotta tell you?

35. Firearms and alcohol are a dangerous combination.

36. See?

37. Get down on your knees.

38. I said, get down on your knees.

39. Ah, Cethru's upgrading his merch.

40. Some of these might actually shoot.

41. Hey, Vic.

42. Ha-ha. Wishing your cock was that big?

43. Man, these are beautiful animals.

44. I can't believe they just let them rip each other apart.

45. Just dumb birds, brother.

46. Hey, man, w-where they taking them, man?

47. Three little letters: KFC.

48. Come on, tho— Those are my best birds, man.

49. Shut up. Move. W-w-wait. Wait. Come—

50. Come on. I can help you, man.

51. Cethru's smalltime.

52. You want guns,

53. I'll hook you up with the big guy.

54. Yeah? Who we talking about?

55. Listen, man, call off the butchers,

56. and I'll tell you.

57. Why don't you tell me first.

58. Pazi Aranbula.

59. Is that big enough for you?

60. You know where Pazi is? He loves the birds.

61. I hear he's in town for Dos Días de Sangre.

62. Two Days of Blood?

63. It's a big cockfight, all right?

64. Listen, I get you inside.

65. You get Pazi.

66. Hey, last I heard,

67. those pits were filled with Filipinos

68. and Mexicans.

69. I get some of my best fighters

70. from rednecks in Louisiana.

71. He'll blend right in.

72. Blow me, chicken man.

73. Pazi Aranbula, huh?

74. He is bigtime.

75. I'll tell you when and where.

76. Check it out.

77. Is it all there?

78. We're cool, man.

79. Here.

80. Tony!

81. Stop!

82. Tony!

83. Pazi's a gunrunning scumbag, who's wanted by Mexican,

84. federal, state and local authorities.

85. He's got close to a 3 million-peso bounty

86. on his head.

87. Three million? Let me see that.

88. Ah, Vic, you gotta let me go undercover

89. and clean up this grease stain.

90. Yeah? Last time I let you go undercover,

91. you got beaten up by a stripper.

92. I was jumped by her thug boyfriend,

93. and she was a dancer.

94. Shut up!

95. Vic, you got a minute?

96. Yeah, sure.

97. I'm surprised to see you.

98. What's up?

99. You and I, we—

100. We've had a rough year.

101. Yeah, we did.

102. One rough year out of 20 years of friendship. That ain't bad.

103. With those percentages,

104. I'd still be with my first wife.

105. You're better off with Nancy.

106. I know.

107. What's up, Ben?

108. I was in a hit-and-run tonight.

109. I think I killed the guy.

110. You didn't stop? I got out to check on him,

111. and his gangbanger buddy took some shots at me.

112. I panicked and hightailed it.

113. Oh, man, what am I gonna do?

114. Tell the truth. I mean, if he took shots at you—

115. Vic, I been DUI four times.

116. I got it hushed up.

117. Word gets out that I killed this guy and ran,

118. nobody's gonna believe I wasn't drunk.

119. Oh, Christ, Ben.

120. Imagine me in prison, Vic.

121. Now, I know a-as rough

122. as we left it last time,

123. you can't want that. Right?

124. Can you help an old friend?

125. Ben, give me the keys.

126. Shane, tell Suvani repairing this blue Mercedes

127. is a top priority and top-secret.

128. I want it good as new by tomorrow.

129. Right, boss. Lem, get Ben home.

130. Okay. I'll find out who's on the case,

131. make sure it never hits your doorstep.

132. Thanks, Vic.

133. It was some slide. Impact dragged him 75 feet.

134. Maybe you oughta call Guinness.

135. No, record's something like over 30 miles.

136. This isn't even a footnote.

137. Anthony Nuñez, dealer extraordinaire.

138. Witnesses say he and a friend worked the corner over there.

139. Where's the friend?

140. Didn't stick around.

141. What about the car?

142. It's a blue Mercedes, four-door. Witness was vague.

143. Guy driving,

144. hot little Latin number in the passenger seat.

145. High-end sedan.

146. If it wasn't tricked-out, he didn't live around here.

147. He must've been in a hurry to get home.

148. I'm having trouble with this.

149. Do you know how to run this computer program?

150. Are you doing okay?

151. Yeah, I-I'm fine. Thanks.

152. If you're not ready to go back out there yet, I understand.

153. No, really. I'm okay.

154. It was just a—

155. It's a one-time thing.

156. I'm fine now.

157. You sure?

158. I-I know you're worried,

159. because you have to ride with me, but I'm okay.

160. Yeah, well, it's my life too, you know?

161. I know.

162. So say something that will make me feel better.

163. I'm not gonna hang you out.

164. And?

165. And I'm gonna speak with my reverend,

166. sort through things.

167. But my head is in it 100 percent.

168. Heard you guys scraped a dope-dealing banger

169. off the pavement.

170. Not pretty. Crash-test dummy got an ID?

171. Claudette, can I borrow you?

172. What for?

173. We got a double homicide in the Grove.

174. Some morning.

175. You need me? I can, uh, pass the hit-and-run off to Walt.

176. No, just Claudette. I'm going over there too.

177. Looks like it could be a messy situation.

178. Come on, we'll ride together.

179. I'm still waiting.

180. Yeah, um, victim's name's Anthony Nuñez.

181. You know him?

182. Oh, after summer vacation was over, we stopped writing.

183. That area, he's probably a Toro.

184. Anything on the driver?

185. Uh, white guy, blue Mercedes,

186. señorita in the passenger seat.

187. That's it.

188. There was a passenger.

189. Good news is, neighbors have seen the car parked in the area,

190. always at night.

191. Sounds like a little love tryst to me.

192. Um, Toros do this thing called a "toss-and-shoot."

193. What's that? Toss a rival banger

194. in front of a moving car.

195. He gets hit, they fire off a few rounds

196. to scare the driver away, make it look like a hit-and-run.

197. Maybe the driver killed the guy, didn't wanna get caught?

198. Why don't you let me give you a hand with this one.

199. You wanna help me?

200. Ever since you rolled that serial killer,

201. you're the man around here.

202. Right.

203. Hey, C-note says this is a toss-and-shoot.

204. Someone gonna tell us what's going on in there?

205. Excuse me. Can I have your attention, please?

206. Now, people, please.

207. Please, please. We need you to listen.

208. Just give us some time to go inside

209. and determine what happened.

210. We'll make an announcement when we know something.

211. Oh, sweet Jesus. What's burning?

212. It's the garbage disposal. The motor burned out.

213. It looks like they were killed with a meat tenderizer.

214. Killer panicked, tried to dispose of the body.

215. The victim in the sink is Tanya Kramer.

216. The other one is her sister, Violet Roosevelt.

217. Any witnesses?

218. Well, the walls here are pretty thin.

219. A lot of people heard the screams.

220. Captain.

221. Yes?

222. There's someone downstairs

223. who can identify the killer.

224. Down there.

225. Karen Mitchell?

226. You know her?

227. Yeah, I met her a few times

228. during Morgan's re-election campaign.

229. Karen, hello.

230. David.

231. Councilman Morgan couldn't make it?

232. He's in Sacramento moving into his new office.

233. He asked me to come down and be his eyes and ears.

234. Of course.

235. So if you need anything, just ask.

236. Well, I appreciate his help, yours too.

237. This is Maya Duffy. She saw the killer.

238. Can you describe him?

239. His name's Wally Forton.

240. White guy.

241. He was dating Tanya's daughter.

242. What happened? What happened is,

243. they called 911,

244. and it took you over an hour to show up.

245. Over an hour.

246. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure.

247. We heard Tanya up there screaming at Wally.

248. She called 911.

249. And he didn't leave?

250. No, he went outside,

251. waiting around for like 20 minutes or so,

252. and then he went back up and he killed them.

253. An hour. Can that be right?

254. I'll have to review the 911 tapes.

255. If it was a black man breaking into a white woman's apartment,

256. it wouldn't take no hour.

257. Everybody gets equal treatment from this department.

258. Why are they dead, then?

259. Ma'am.

260. Ma'am come with me, please.

261. I'll take the statement.

262. Go over by the car. Whatever.

263. They'll want answers, and frankly,

264. I think they deserve them.

265. Come on. Wally's girlfriend might be in danger.

266. We need to find him, her or both.

267. I pulled the dead guy's known associates.

268. Recognize anyone?

269. That's the guy's buddy right there.

270. He's the one that shot at me.

271. "Jesus Rosales." Yeah, he's a Toro.

272. Warrants for possession and intent to sell narcotics.

273. No wonder he ran.

274. Can you find him?

275. Who are you talking to here?

276. Look, Vic, he—

277. He got a good look at me.

278. What if he's picked up and I'm his bargaining chip?

279. We'll make him a better deal.

280. So...

281. When were you gonna tell me you're shagging a Latina

282. in the neighborhood?

283. I didn't wanna get her involved.

284. She was in the car. She couldn't be more involved.

285. Was she driving? No.

286. It happened just like I said,

287. except she was with me.

288. Who is she?

289. Sedona Tellez.

290. I've been... seeing her.

291. What about Nancy?

292. We're all perfect?

293. Well, Dutchboy's already picked up her scent.

294. You're gonna have to send her away somewhere.

295. Okay. Good idea.

296. Hey, Vic,

297. she's not just some lay.

298. I love her.

299. Melissa left for the gym like about two hours ago.

300. Was she alone? Yeah.

301. What about the boyfriend, Wally? Have you seen him?

302. Wally. Oh, honey, he's a cutie-pie.

303. You know, for a white guy.

304. You know him? Sort of.

305. I hear them some nights.

306. Hear them? You know, doing it.

307. Honey, he's a screamer. He's louder than she is.

308. I thought they split up, but I guess not.

309. Ahem. You know where we might find them?

310. He came back about an hour ago, looking for her.

311. I told him that she was at the gym.

312. Hey, Dutchman,

313. our road kill pissed off a couple of Los Mags

314. a couple of days back.

315. It's looking more and more like banger payback.

316. I found her.

317. Who? The mystery woman.

318. I-I talked to a pizza delivery guy.

319. He's seen a blue Benz on numerous occasions at, um,

320. uh, 2538 Mercado Avenue.

321. Sedona Tellez. She's our babe.

322. Oh. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.

323. I was just there. There's no one home.

324. But a neighbor swears she jumped into a cab

325. with a bunch of suitcases earlier this afternoon.

326. This is starting to get interesting.

327. Who knows if it's the same Benz?

328. Maybe she just went on vacation.

329. Or maybe she and the boyfriend skipped town.

330. Don't worry, I'll get them.

331. Cool.

332. Pazi's a badass with connections to half a dozen gangs.

333. Why are you risking your life to get off a misdemeanor?

334. Those cocks, I hatched them myself.

335. I raised them.

336. They're all I got.

337. Okay.

338. You get me in,

339. set up a meeting.

340. Tell Pazi I'm willing to trade feathers for hardware.

341. Trust me, if Pazi likes your chickens,

342. he'll trade anything to get ahold of them.

343. Good. So we got a plan, right?

344. Uh-huh. Can I go home now? Am I free?

345. Well, let's just say that you're on parole

346. till this thing gets done.

347. You understand?

348. Yeah, okay.

349. Uh, let's go to my yard, and I'll teach you

350. everything you need to know in the ring.

351. Bottled water?

352. The most important part of their diet.

353. That poison that comes out of my tap will kill them.

354. I hear that, man.

355. What kind of bird is he?

356. Kelso, champion line.

357. Never been cut.

358. Those three are Boston Roundheads,

359. the Solabina

360. and the, uh, blinker's a Johnny Jumper.

361. Blinker?

362. Blinker.

363. Oh, man, that's sick.

364. Hey, you got till tonight, man. Learn as much as you can.

365. Pazi's gonna wanna know how you raise these birds.

366. Jesus. B12, vitamin K supplements.

367. They need all this stuff?

368. If you want 'em to win.

369. What's his name?

370. It hurts too much. I stopped naming them.

371. They're all called "nugget."

372. That's not funny, dude.

373. I mean, these are innocent creatures.

374. They are kind of beautiful, though, aren't they?

375. I mean, in a snack food sort of way.

376. Jesus.

377. Open warrant. Let's make this easy.

378. He didn't do anything.

379. Look, kids, I'm in no mood to play.

380. Come on.

381. Where you going, homes?

382. Back off. I'm a cop. Back off.

383. If this was a real arrest, you would have brought more.

384. Let him go.

385. He'll be out in 12 hours.

386. I say he's out right now.

387. Hey, don't do it.

388. It's not worth it.

389. Hey.

390. I don't wanna shoot anybody today.

391. That's up to you.

392. Gonna kill us all, ése?

393. No, just the one who wants it first.

394. Hey! Get your hands in the air!

395. Back off! Back off.

396. Easy.

397. Walk. Come on.

398. The witness at Melissa's gym saw them leaving together.

399. By force or willingly?

400. The guy wasn't sure, said they were talking.

401. Karen Mitchell's here.

402. She's only gonna get in our way.

403. Maybe you could talk to her. Tell her to back off.

404. Me?

405. You said you met her a few times.

406. You know, rumor is that she's

407. Morgan's handpicked successor to run for his seat.

408. Really. Which means that she would be

409. running against you in the primary,

410. but you knew that.

411. As wedge issues go,

412. two dead women is a bad one.

413. You wanna catch the killer and cover your ass,

414. but if you can't do both,

415. this is about catching the killer.

416. Karen.

417. I was hoping you had some new information by now.

418. Unfortunately, no.

419. Well, what about the 911 tapes?

420. They're on the way.

421. Been trying to find Melissa Kramer

422. before she gets her own tape. Oh.

423. Well, I'd like to listen to them with you.

424. Two women are dead, David.

425. I hope we're not playing politics here.

426. Jesus, we need your help with something.

427. Now, we're sorry about your friend,

428. but you gotta know that was an accident.

429. You dragged him halfway down the block, eh?

430. I saw your rap sheets.

431. You and your friend are no saints.

432. Jesus, you know who we are?

433. Cops.

434. No, we're not just any cops.

435. We're good friends to have, Jesus.

436. You ever get picked up for selling rock,

437. we're the guys to know.

438. Yeah, if I keep quiet.

439. If you keep quiet.

440. Okay.

441. Good.

442. You just made a smart decision.

443. I'll tell you what, Jesus.

444. I'm gonna write down a number.

445. You get scooped up, you call me anytime—

446. Oh! Jesus Christ!

447. What did you do?

448. What the hell's the matter with you?

449. I had to. Put the gun down, Ben.

450. Relax, Vic.

451. We don't have to worry now.

452. He was cooperating. Supposed to trust him?

453. He was innocent! He was a problem!

454. Jesus Christ, Ben!

455. What did you do?

456. Nothing you haven't done.

457. What?

458. Terry Crowley.

459. Any bells ringing?

460. You don't wanna say it, fine.

461. But I helped you get clear on that.

462. Oh, man, this is your problem.

463. It's our problem.

464. No. His buddies

465. saw you take this guy away.

466. Now he's dead.

467. I picked you for a reason, Vic.

468. You've been through this.

469. Now help me get clear.

470. I appreciate this, Vic.

471. Drop this guy in Los Mags territory

472. and make it look like a gang hit.

473. That's smart. Yeah.

474. When this lands on your desk, just bury it.

475. Hey, look, Vic, I-I'm sorry about how this went down.

476. I am.

477. Now just keep Dutch off my ass,

478. and we're home free.

479. Vic,

480. you and me.

481. We're good, right?

482. No, not today.

483. That's two for 25 right there, pops.

484. That phone is 10 bucks. No problem.

485. Got change for everything.

486. What can I do for you officers?

487. We got a complaint about your yard sale.

488. What kind of complaint? You've been robbing neighbors

489. and forcing them to buy their property back.

490. Well, that's a lie.

491. All this here, this is all mine.

492. The person said differently.

493. Oh, yeah? And who was that?

494. They didn't give their name.

495. They said everyone's scared of you.

496. Dude, you got any proof this stuff is yours?

497. You got any proof that it ain't?

498. Look, officers, I'm just trying to have a yard sale here, okay?

499. Nothing illegal about that.

500. There is if you don't have a permit.

501. City-approved. Please believe it.

502. "Dookie"?

503. That's me.

504. Does any of this merchandise belong to any of you?

505. If you speak up, you'll get your stuff back.

506. Now, if you guys are all done,

507. I've got business to attend to.

508. I'm gonna be keeping my eye out on you, Dookie.

509. Stop by anytime.

510. I got great bargains for you two.

511. Watch it, pops.

512. You touch, you buy. You know the rules.

513. Are you kidding me? That's 10 percent.

514. I'm doing all the work. I only get 20 percent, Einstein.

515. Ten percent

516. is half my fee.

517. You sure about that?

518. Hey.

519. Lem, this is Jojo Rizal. He's a bounty hunter.

520. Bail enforcement agent. Curtis Lemansky.

521. Jojo's gonna help with this Pazi deal.

522. Help us? Yeah.

523. How'd you like a piece of Pazi's bounty?

524. Cops can't collect bounty, dude. What if I told you I figured

525. a way around that little problem.

526. The problem of us being cops? Bring me Pazi,

527. I split my fee 50-50.

528. No way. Come on. That's 400,000 pesos.

529. Man, that's gotta be, what? Like a couple hundred grand?

530. Try 50? Fifty?

531. That's about right.

532. Damn, Mexico.

533. You know what? It's still worth it.

534. No way. Forget it, man.

535. Okay.

536. Hold on.

537. Hold on one second. What?

538. I'm looking out for our interests.

539. Jesus. For once, can't we do what we're supposed to do

540. and then stop? Huh?

541. Hey, when you guys figure out

542. who's wearing the pants,

543. why don't you beep me.

544. Oh, your, uh— Your cock's out.

545. Damn it.

546. Is that who you see yourself as? A gay man?

547. Of course not,

548. I'm just confused.

549. These urges, I can't beat 'em down.

550. So, what I'm hearing is,

551. you really wanna change.

552. That's why I'm here.

553. I was ashamed. I didn't know what you'd say.

554. What's important is your commitment to God,

555. to your faith.

556. I know.

557. So, um, what can I do?

558. There's someone I'd like you to meet.

559. Vic, I researched our missing femme fatale, Sedona Tellez.

560. Waste of time, Dutchboy.

561. Taggers found the victim's amigo

562. dead in a Los Mag tunnel.

563. Told you, gang hit all the way.

564. What buddy? Jesus Rosales?

565. Yeah.

566. I've been looking for him.

567. Well, stop.

568. Girlfriend bolts,

569. victim's friend gets hit.

570. There's something else at play here.

571. What?

572. Get this: Sedona Tellez

573. is listed as a CEO of a corporation

574. based in the Grand Cayman Islands.

575. Its sole purpose?

576. Buying up real estate right here in Farmington.

577. You're kidding. Nope.

578. Not bad for an accountant

579. living in a one-bedroom in slum town.

580. Now this Jesus is dead?

581. Yeah.

582. He was a Toro. I'll start with his crew.

583. He usually runs with five, six other guys.

584. How do you know that?

585. I have contacts.

586. You do? Believe it or not.

587. And you found all this out since 4:00?

588. Pretty good, huh?

589. Too good, Dutchboy.

590. Well, I have a rep to maintain.

591. You're gonna put me right out of a job.

592. One,

593. two,

594. three.

595. Let's go. Come on. Come on, birdie, go.

596. Go, birdie, go.

597. Go! Take him down!

598. Take him down!

599. Take him down, birdie!

600. Whoo! What about it?

601. Who's ready for round two?

602. Ho-ho-ho! What a badass!

603. What, you saw Pazi? No, man, Frank.

604. I mean, he gets in there, and it's like he's possessed.

605. It was so goddamn cool. I won 700 bucks.

606. You named him? Frank.

607. What? It's just a first name.

608. Pazi was a no-show? Yeah. Yeah.

609. Gabo heard he's coming tomorrow.

610. You ready for round two, killer?

611. You're sick, man.

612. Where's the police? Where are you?

613. Remain calm. Police are coming.

614. He's back again! Who's back?

615. Wally Forton.

616. At this point, it's been 47 minutes

617. since the initial call.

618. Jesus Christ. Somebody help us!

619. Ma'am? Unbelievable.

620. Help us! Mr s. Kramer—?

621. Help! St ill there?

622. Bitch, you did this!

623. Mrs. Kramer, are you okay?

624. Help us!

625. How does something like this happen?

626. It's a manpower issue.

627. We only had two units assigned to that grid.

628. One was responding to a heart-attack victim.

629. The other was involved in a pursuit.

630. Why only two units?

631. It's a new policy.

632. Saturating specific areas with more patrols.

633. While others go unprotected?

634. Not unprotected.

635. Statistically, it's smart policing.

636. A larger concentration of units in one area reduces crime

637. by 65 percent,

638. while crime in the less patrolled areas

639. only rises 20 percent.

640. You believe that?

641. What happened today

642. was an anomaly.

643. Tell that to the family of those two dead women.

644. Usually, there's adequate backup.

645. David has the discretion on how his units are assigned.

646. So you're the one who's responsible?

647. You're blaming me for this?

648. Payback's a bitch, huh?

649. Thanks for tossing me such a softball.

650. This policy's your idea.

651. It's been in place for over six months.

652. You had no problem with it as long as you were

653. sending the patrols to Latino neighborhoods.

654. Hey, wait a minute.

655. This is not my mess.

656. It is now.

657. So you better fix it.

658. Vic, good to see you again. Business as usual, huh?

659. For the both of us.

660. Julien, I need a hand.

661. Julien, I need your help with something.

662. I'm done helping you.

663. Hey, I keep your secret every day,

664. just like I promised, right?

665. Every time you need something, you'll twist a screw?

666. You're gonna goddamn help me with something right now,

667. or you're gonna see just how hard I can twist.

668. This guy walks into the middle of you and your friends

669. pulls a gun and walks off with Jesus?

670. Yeah.

671. Any idea who he is?

672. Detective. Yeah?

673. You're needed out here. I'm in the middle of something.

674. Captain said it was important.

675. I'll be right back.

676. Where is he? Don't know. Didn't talk to him.

677. Just had the message passed to me.

678. You listen and you listen quick.

679. Los Mags pulled your guy out.

680. You ID me, you'll be stone dead

681. 15 minutes after you leave this station.

682. You hear me?

683. Hey. Vic.

684. Thought I'd sit in. Hope you don't mind.

685. Not at all. Anyway, uh,

686. you were about to describe the guy.

687. Well, answer the man.

688. I didn't get a good look.

689. Well, what did you see?

690. He was wearing Los Mags colors.

691. Los Mags?

692. A goddamn gang hit.

693. I told you it was boys in the 'hood.

694. You notice he couldn't look you or me in the eye.

695. Kept scratching the top—

696. Wagenbach, stop.

697. He's lying.

698. A skin allergy means he's lying?

699. He's covering for the Benz guy.

700. I can't believe this. Give it up already.

701. Even if you're right, the driver is still a witness to a murder.

702. I still have to find him, so let me.

703. You don't need the witness.

704. Vic, follow up your gang lead.

705. I'm gonna track down the driver

706. and his señorita's Cayman Island connections, okay?

707. Or— Or is that gang related too?

708. Add units seven, eight and 10.

709. I don't want to be able to spit in the Grove

710. without hitting a police car.

711. And put the Riot Squad on tactical alert.

712. We just found Melissa Kramer.

713. Where?

714. Think she's in on it? I don't know.

715. Let's just hope she's not halfway down the disposal.

716. Forton brought the woman here two hours ago.

717. They're in Room 19. He had a bottle of champagne.

718. To celebrate?

719. Or to tenderize.

720. Police, freeze! Get your hands where I can see them!

721. Oh, my God! Wait! What did we do?

722. Wally Forton,

723. you're under arrest— Stop it!

724. —for the murders of Violet Roosevelt and Tanya Kramer.

725. M-murder? Wait a minute. What? Wally?

726. They were just getting between us, sweetie.

727. Read him his rights. Twice.

728. We're forever, baby. Forever!

729. Th—? They're—?

730. They're dead?

731. Caught the guy, huh?

732. Yeah.

733. Nasty businesses down there in the Grove.

734. Is that a joke?

735. Well, tell Gilroy I'm not laughing.

736. What are you talking about?

737. Like you don't know.

738. Pretend I don't.

739. Gilroy's diverted manpower to other neighborhoods.

740. Crime went down everywhere, except the Grove.

741. Now he's letting me swing for the department

742. on these two murders.

743. Well, I didn't know.

744. Well, now you do.

745. Tell me something.

746. What would be in it for someone to buy up property in the Grove?

747. Is this a real question?

748. Pretend it is.

749. Well, that area's been ignored.

750. Crime's up. Land's cheap.

751. Other than that, there's no reason to buy there.

752. Why? Who's buying up land?

753. Oh, no one. I'm just asking.

754. Did Gilroy say something?

755. I saw the two of you.

756. No, it's just a stupid idea.

757. If I get a good one, I'll let you know.

758. I was inflicted with homosexual urges

759. just like you.

760. I was tested constantly.

761. I used to think that I was gay,

762. that I had no other choice.

763. I even cursed God for doing it to me.

764. You ever heard of

765. sexual-reorientation therapy, Julien?

766. I read an article about it once.

767. Homosexuality is a disease

768. similar to alcoholism or drug addiction.

769. The church offers programs to combat these compulsions.

770. Through discipline,

771. through treatment, the urges can be suppressed,

772. eliminated. Really?

773. I'm married to a beautiful woman.

774. I have a child on the way,

775. and my wife and I both lead

776. a fulfilling, spiritual life.

777. Is it that simple? No.

778. It takes hard work, commitment, God's help.

779. But I'm finally happy.

780. Really a matter of what you wanna do.

781. I don't wanna feel like dying.

782. Jesus wants you to live, Julien.

783. I'm tired of living like this.

784. You don't have to anymore.

785. Oh, shit. Come on, now. Come on, man. Come on!

786. Come on! Come on!

787. Oh, shit, man. No, no, no.

788. Come on, man. Grab him right there!

789. Oh, come on, now. No, no.

790. Sweet Jesus, just—

791. Get him right now! Underneath! Underneath!

792. No! He doesn't know when he's down! Get him. Come on!

793. Sweet Jesus! Come on, get up!

794. What the hell happened?

795. You lost, ése.

796. He's all right, man. I'm telling you.

797. Hey, Shane, man, I'd like you to meet Pazi.

798. Gabo tells me you're interested in making a trade.

799. Yeah, that's right.

800. He was impressive.

801. He's dead.

802. He is mismatched against that Jumper.

803. It's how he died that counts, huh?

804. Hey, man, he died good.

805. You gonna hook me up with some firepower or what?

806. I need to see your other birds, Gomer.

807. Then we will talk, huh?

808. What's your grain mixture?

809. Uh, 16 percent protein, uh,

810. 10 percent whole corn and, uh,

811. 9 percent scratch grain.

812. That's good.

813. These all you brought with you?

814. No, I got some more back at the motel.

815. I got some Polaroids there on the front seat

816. if you wanna see them.

817. Hold it! Drop it! Drop it!

818. Drop it, ése.

819. Easy.

820. Drop it! Man, what are you thinking?

821. Get your hands where I can see them.

822. Dude, what—? What are you—? What are you doing?

823. I thought chloroform

824. was supposed to knock 'em out.

825. Guess this works better.

826. We were to wait till he showed us the guns.

827. We take this guy in,

828. his case will be tied up for years.

829. I say we turn him over to the Mexicans,

830. where he'll be properly hung by his balls,

831. and if we make a few pesos in the process, so be it.

832. We said we were gonna play this one straight.

833. Thought we changed our mind.

834. If you'll excuse me.

835. Vic.

836. You've been manipulating police resources

837. to crash land value in this neighborhood?

838. These flats have been spiraling down for years, Vic.

839. Your mistress has been buying up property in this area

840. like she's Disney.

841. But it's not for her. It's for you.

842. Two women are dead because of your little scam.

843. And that banger?

844. He had it coming.

845. You're playing violins for these dope dealers now?

846. What's phase two?

847. Send me and the boys in to clean up the area,

848. and then you sell it off at a profit?

849. You and your boys never supplement your income?

850. Look around, Ben.

851. Where's the good in what you're doing?

852. The good is, I'll cut you in.

853. Where's your girlfriend?

854. At the Gardner Bungalows, overlooking Sunset.

855. Just like the old days, huh?

856. When do I start getting my paydays?

857. Soon. Real soon.

858. Hasta la vista, amigo.

859. Different kind of cockfighting where you're headed.

860. Heh. Yeah, you said it.

861. You lied to me, man. You lied.

862. I'm not doing anything the Mack-man wouldn't.

863. I'm just branching out. I said you lied to me.

864. Look, this is 25 G's, brother.

865. Ten for you, 10 for me and five for Vic 'cause—

866. 'Cause he's Vic. What about Ronnie?

867. Screw Ronnie. He's off the clock.

868. If you don't want it, fine.

869. I'll split it between me and Vic.

870. Look, you do this to me again, I'm gonna kick your redneck ass.

871. Don't even give me that look, bro.

872. I spoke to my reverend.

873. Good for you. It helped?

874. God has a plan for me. I'm—

875. I'm gonna start this program where I'm gonna be taught

876. how to reconnect with women.

877. God's gonna make you straight?

878. God's offering me a cure.

879. It's called sexual-reorientation therapy.

880. It really works.

881. You give me back my microwave. I'm not kidding.

882. Pump your brakes, all right? Welfare don't make you special.

883. You got to pay like everybody else.

884. I am not scared of you. Ma'am,

885. what's the problem?

886. He keeps taking our stuff

887. and make us buy it back.

888. That is my microwave!

889. No, it ain't. Ma'am, do you have any proof?

890. Sure. After he stole it the last time,

891. I carved my initials on the back.

892. E.B.

893. That's me. Emily Berry.

894. Officer, she's lying.

895. E.B. stands for— For "excellent buy."

896. I mark all my best stuff like that.

897. How about my picture frame? That is not yours,

898. but you can get it for $10.

899. If that's your picture frame,

900. how come that's me and my granddaughter?

901. Dookie, you wanna turn around?

902. There's gotta be some miscommunication—

903. Let's go. Let's go.

904. Oh, come on, grandma,

905. ain't no love for Dookie?

906. None. Let's go.

907. All right, everybody. Show's over.

908. Take what belongs to you and just go on home.

909. Hey, come on. That's mine. That's mine.

910. Uh-uh-uh. That's my VCR.

911. Come with me. What's the matter?

912. Someone leaked the 911 tapes.

913. Shit.

914. It's all over the press.

915. We got a situation brewing.

916. Bad? When we get there,

917. you should do all the talking.

918. Coming from you, a plea for peace will sound more—

919. Black.

920. What did you get on Gilroy?

921. Checked out that hideaway.

922. And? The mistress never checked in.

923. Another lie? What the hell is he doing?

924. Maybe he stashed her someplace else.

925. Or slashed her someplace else. Oh, Jesus Christ.

926. I always took Gilroy for a quiet drunk.

927. It's the quiet ones you worry about.

928. Okay, he doesn't see a way out. He just needs to calm down.

929. If that doesn't work, then what?

930. He's got you on the same hook as him for that murder.

931. Yeah?

932. Hey, it's me. Where are you?

933. Still at work. Dinner's almost ready.

934. I'm gonna have to miss dinner tonight.

935. Vic. I'm sorry.

936. You're kidding, right? Sweetheart, I can't make it.

937. But Ben's already here.

938. What?

939. Come see the bowl I made in art class.

940. Gilroy's there? In a second, Cass.

941. You invite him, and now you're not gonna show?

942. Let me talk to him.

943. Corrine! Hey, buddy,

944. you gotta stop working so hard.

945. Ben, what are you doing at my house?

946. This case you're on, it's a dead end.

947. Ben, what are you doing?

948. Why did you go looking for that girl, Vic?

949. Hey, you lied to me.

950. Where is she? Is she still alive?

951. We were back in business.

952. You should have just left it alone.

953. I'll leave it alone now, Ben.

954. No, you won't, Vic. I know you.

955. Come see the bowl I made. Okay, sweetheart.

956. Ben, this is between you and me.

957. You leave my family out of this.

958. You should have left Sedona out of it.

959. Spend time with your family. You tell him.

960. You'll lose them. Come on.

961. Ben. Ben, you think about what you're doing.

962. Here I come, doll.

963. No! No! No!

964. Goddamn it!

965. The sheriffs can get there faster than we can.

966. 911 for no one. Where were the cops?

967. 911 for no one Where were the cops?

968. 911 for no one Where were the cops?

969. I know you're angry.

970. This is a serious problem.

971. Be no problem in Beverly Hills.

972. It won't be a problem here again.

973. You have my word.

974. Ain't no hour wait in Bel Air.

975. We need to resolve this peacefully.

976. Detective Wyms is right.

977. Violence will only undermine

978. what we need to do here.

979. What we need is some new cops. What we need—

980. What we need is a new plan.

981. One that will protect all of us.

982. All units, pull back now.

983. Get the Riot Squad down here.

984. Get 'em down here now!

985. Are you okay?

986. Vic, what's going on? They practically broke in.

987. Where are the kids? In here.

988. Why are these sheriffs here? Where's Gilroy?

989. He left. He said he'd take a rain check.

990. Okay. Thanks, fellas. I appreciate it.

991. Come on, let's go. I'll walk you out.

992. Let's go.

993. Daddy's okay.

994. Pack bags for you and the kids. You're not staying here.

995. What? This is our house. It isn't safe.

996. Why not? I'll explain it later.

997. Explain now! What's going on? Corrine, don't ask questions.

998. Just do it!

999. Come on, come on.

1000. He crossed the line, man.

1001. He's done.

1002. Daddy. Hey, hey.

1003. Where are we going?

1004. It's okay, sweetie.

1005. We're just gonna take a little trip.

1006. Riot Guard.

1007. Let's go. Let's go. Move.

1008. Come on, man.

1009. Move. Let's move.

1010. Pull back! Everybody pull back!
