The Shield 4x4

1. Previously on:

2. My partner and I have been on your shit list for months.

3. I must have missed that memo.

4. What if I promise to control her?

5. Would that be enough?

6. This office needs favors from time to time.

7. I'd expect you to deliver them when I ask.

8. Tell the great reformist that's the cost of business.

9. Doesn't work that way. What doesn't work,

10. is me findin' out secondhand

11. about dealers dumping crack for tar.

12. From now on, it's me and you face-to-face or nothing at all.

13. You got that?

14. What you hearin' in Juvie about Antwon Mitchell?

15. Moving tar heroin on the street.

16. Shane's been cozying up to the guy.

17. Might be in business with him.

18. We all have a stake in making sure that

19. Shane stays out of IAD's headlights.

20. Federal asset-forfeiture laws

21. will now be enforced in Farmington.

22. A gang sells crack out of their room,

23. we're gonna take that home.

24. Yes.

25. Let's see that mouth.

26. I'm tired of feeling like I was raped too.

27. Whatever you need to help yourself,

28. do it, already.

29. The police department can change.

30. But it's not gonna happen from the inside.

31. What's that have to do with the city council?

32. These property seizures are targeting my constituents now,

33. someday yours too.

34. That's not our problem?

35. You just started, David.

36. Take a breath.

37. Give yourself a chance to get settled in.

38. This policy's led to increased corruption in other cities.

39. Locals fighting for profits,

40. rises in police-brutality complaints.

41. What do you want, exactly?

42. Leadership on the police committee.

43. I can steer policy, protect the council's interests.

44. Look, Bill, I know how it works there.

45. I know what needs to be done,

46. I just need the authority to do it.

47. That's what the other councilmen are afraid of.

48. Think you might try to shove something down their throat.

49. No, that won't happen.

50. It's how I can serve best.

51. It just makes sense.

52. I got it.

53. Thanks.

54. I'm Sara.

55. David.

56. You mind?

57. Havin' a good time?

58. Just making an effort to meet people.

59. But I don't remember seeing you in here before.

60. But your friend looked familiar.

61. I hope, for his wife's sake, he wasn't a john.

62. You're a cop.

63. I need to get my radar checked.

64. How's business?

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

66. Look, I'm just here to have a cigarette,

67. not to make an arrest.

68. So where you from?

69. Phoenix.

70. Been here long?

71. No.

72. Just came out.

73. I like it, though.

74. There's a lot to like.

75. It was nice to meet you, David.

76. Been on vacation, or you just workin' on white people's time?

77. Where the hell is Antwon?

78. Every cop with a Kodak is hassling brothers,

79. seizing cars and shit.

80. Antwon's shit.

81. So?

82. Remember why you're here.

83. Antwon ain't posing for no po-po.

84. Look, I told you last time,

85. I don't deal with scrubs.

86. And just so we're clear,

87. I'm the one that's supposed to get tips.

88. You're a week behind.

89. So you tell Antwon to come back himself

90. and don't forget to bring me gifts.

91. You trippin', huh?

92. Or you forget just how much you up in for Antwon?

93. 'Cause it just takes one anonymous call to 911.

94. You feel me?

95. Oh, yeah, I feel you.

96. Figure out how to stop the bleedin'.

97. Or I'm gonna have to drop a dime on your ass.

98. One second. Come here.

99. We'll work this out.

100. He's gonna drop a dime?

101. Are we involved in shit beyond hookers that I don't know about?

102. This is just a little quid pro quo thing,

103. only Antwon's a little slow on the quo.

104. Hey, this is not a big deal.

105. These guys try this to see if they can own you.

106. Now, as long as we handle this right,

107. it's not a problem.

108. So you just sit on the other guy. Okay?

109. All right? Okay.

110. I think I might've come up with something.

111. My nigga.

112. Oh. Hey, hey.

113. Step back, asshole.

114. You gonna drop a dime on us, huh?

115. Hit him.

116. Do it, asshole.

117. No.

118. I told you to do something, you dumb shit.

119. Harder.

120. Harder.

121. I thought you two were tight.

122. Know what?

123. Tell Antwon there's a new scoop law

124. come pick up his dog shit.

125. It's, uh, safer if we talk out here.

126. Whatever. Listen, I need you to look at a guy.

127. A drug dealer named Maurice Webster.

128. Claudette and I don't usually handle drug cases.

129. From what you've been tellin' me,

130. it's a step up.

131. I should write this down. No, stop.

132. I'll send it. Get it from your captain.

133. This is all we have to do to make things straight again?

134. No. But it's a start.

135. Now, my source says that Maurice is a major player.

136. Let's see what you and your partner can whip up.

137. Hey. Hey. We've gotta go,

138. the realtor's inside.

139. She's taking her time.

140. They're interested.

141. Gretchen thinks they're gonna make us an offer.

142. Why does Mom have to move?

143. We talked about that, Cassidy.

144. I want to.

145. What about my friends? When I'm here?

146. Can I go to my room?

147. We have to go while they're here.

148. Hold on.

149. Yeah.

150. You gotta leave.

151. I'll hold.

152. All my stuff is in my room.

153. No one's gonna touch your things.

154. All right, I'll be there.

155. I gotta go to work. Give me a kiss.

156. All right, let's get out of their way.

157. Look, I appreciate the call, but rape's not usually my thing.

158. Fugitive recovery is.

159. Oscar Ruiz was at the courthouse this morning

160. for a prelim on his three sexual-assault charges.

161. They think he found an unlocked window.

162. Picked the wrong guy to let escape.

163. They figure he got loose around 7:30.

164. We didn't hear about it until 9:30.

165. After he raped again.

166. Myrna, are you there? You said it was an emergency.

167. Joe. Yeah, what's wrong?

168. I slept with him. What? What are you...?

169. I sucked his dick,

170. and then he did me from behind.

171. What the hell's goin' on?

172. He's better than you are.

173. He's a real man.

174. Not a pussy like you. Myrna.

175. Myrna, Myrna, is somebody there?

176. He's so big.

177. Who's there, Myrna?

178. He's the best I ever had.

179. Is he makin' you say this?

180. I want him to do it to me again

181. in the ass

182. while you listen.

183. Myrna, I'm callin' the police.

184. I'm on my way home.

185. Wanna get this guy?

186. Yeah.

187. Oscar Ruiz, the stay-at-home rapist.

188. Forcing his victims to call the husband

189. or the boyfriend is his standard m.o.

190. - Puts a spin on things. - Come for the rape.

191. Stay for the humiliation.

192. That's a list of his known friends.

193. Anyone interesting?

194. Got a fiancée living in Farmington.

195. Talk to her.

196. Ruiz left the rape scene at 9:15 with a gun

197. and clothes from their closet.

198. That makes two hours since anyone's heard from him.

199. A smart guy would run as far and as fast as he could.

200. He raped right out of the box.

201. Which means he knows we'll catch him.

202. He's gonna binge until we do.

203. Ruiz poses as a flower-shop delivery guy,

204. uh, then he forces his way in.

205. I'll get his picture to the shop owners

206. and I'll talk to this roommate.

207. "Stay-at-home rapist"?

208. It's just something I coined.

209. Yeah, well, the women stay at home.

210. This guy goes out and rapes.

211. Nicknames are meant to be catchy, not literal.

212. Uh, you want us to throw in on Ruiz?

213. No, Vic's got it.

214. I'm Captain Rawling. This is Detective Mackey.

215. Emily, right?

216. Yeah, Emily Mischner.

217. Thank you for coming in.

218. I apologize for what happened.

219. We can put you in a department safe house

220. until this is resolved.

221. Until what's resolved?

222. Why am I here?

223. Oscar Ruiz escaped

224. from sheriff's custody this morning.

225. Oh, my God.

226. That's-that' what the commotion at court was about?

227. We're gonna find him.

228. But you shouldn't go home alone until we do.

229. I have been alone.

230. I went home right after they delayed that hearing.

231. He already raped me once.

232. Why didn't somebody here tell me?

233. The sheriff's department thought they had him contained downtown.

234. Took a couple of hours before they realized

235. that he had gotten past them.

236. So he's out there?

237. Listen, we have a lot of resources

238. dedicated to this thing.

239. In the meantime, a couple of officers

240. could take you home and stand guard.

241. I...

242. I'd um...

243. I'd rather stay here,

244. until you catch him.

245. Yo.

246. You seen this guy?

247. You are Blinky, right?

248. In here, I'm Felix. What's going on?

249. Oscar Ruiz, your roommate.

250. He's in prison.

251. He got escaped. No shit?

252. So you don't know that he raped another woman

253. this morning either?

254. They were about to lay a life sentence on this prick.

255. Know what they're gonna do

256. when they find out you helped him?

257. Yo, I didn't help him escape.

258. All right? I didn't even know he was out

259. till he showed up this morning.

260. When did he get here?

261. He was out back when I got to work.

262. Look, he said he was innocent,

263. so I gave him a few dollars to get to Mexico.

264. I... Man... I just wanted him gone.

265. He didn't go to Tijuana. He raped another woman.

266. Used your money to buy the flowers

267. that got him in the front door.

268. He know how to get into your apartment?

269. Hey, he knows where I keep the spare key.

270. Hey, man, I'm sorry. Save it.

271. Gonna park your ass right here with an officer

272. in case Ruiz shows up again.

273. Antwon Mitchell.

274. As I live and breathe.

275. Run on inside, kids.

276. Man, you got to be crazy,

277. showin' your face around here.

278. Especially after that shit you pulled last night.

279. I didn't wanna play hard,

280. but your boy was threatenin' to own us.

281. Question is,

282. what's next for us?

283. Halpern was out of line.

284. That shit won't happen again.

285. Yeah, well, that's not good enough, partner.

286. I don't know if you got a hard-on for jail

287. or you just like pissin' off cops.

288. But we're looking at the door on this

289. unless you convince me otherwise.

290. Come on, shit on 'em, man.

291. Hey, don't go sideways on me.

292. Paid in full.

293. With a little extra to make everything all right.

294. Okay, player?

295. Good.

296. But I like making busts too,

297. so step up the tips.

298. I'll make sure you get by same as before.

299. Hey, things ain't the same as before, man.

300. We got these cops coming after us like storm troopers.

301. Well, I'm your Luke Skywalker.

302. The seizures...

303. I'm close to the cop who's runnin' it.

304. How close you to him?

305. I'm as close as I need to be.

306. Okay.

307. Get at me, then. Uh-uh.

308. See, you gotta bring me some news I can use.

309. Then the clock starts running on your protection.

310. Hey, captain. Back already?

311. City business.

312. A multiple rapist walked out of the courthouse,

313. this morning, attacked another woman.

314. I need to reschedule. Anything I can do?

315. No. Sorry to inconvenience you.

316. A lot of people are talking about these police seizures.

317. I think we should talk today. It's important.

318. Can you wait a few minutes? Yeah, a few.

319. Beth Insardi just called.

320. There's a drug dealer they wanna make a case against.

321. She asked for the two of you.

322. - Really? - Sure she meant us?

323. Must be the bottom of the barrel.

324. Doesn't sound it. His name is Maurice Webster.

325. He's a big dope fish in our little pond,

326. so try to wrap a net around him.

327. Drug sting? Isn't that more Vic's rhythm?

328. Vic's busy,

329. so I'd take whatever olive branch the DA's offering.

330. Beth says there's a time issue, so don't waste any.

331. Maybe they're ready to take the leash off, huh?

332. His picture's out there.

333. Flower shops, supermarkets, on-ramp slingers.

334. Anything on the fiancée?

335. No, nothing.

336. All right, gather around.

337. This is Ruiz's old apartment.

338. We'll start from here and spread out.

339. Let's hope he's feeling homesick. Let's go.

340. Hey. Any luck on your rapist?

341. Yeah, all his.

342. You got something to run by me?

343. Yeah, I just found a crack in Antwon Mitchell's family seal.

344. His oldest son, Donald III has been moving fake IDs

345. out of his van in the DMV parking lot.

346. I thought Antwon kept all of his kids straight.

347. Well, this one dumped private school for the family business.

348. Uh, do me a favor,

349. don't move on this punk for a day or two.

350. Why not?

351. I gotta test a theory.

352. Someone just spotted Ruiz. Seventh and Vermont.

353. So about the seizures?

354. I understand coming on strong in the beginning to set a tone.

355. But maybe you're pushing too hard.

356. You have a suggestion?

357. Reach out to the community.

358. Visit some churches,

359. community watch programs.

360. Put on a friendly face.

361. If these people don't know you, they won't trust you.

362. When they see us pulling bangers off corners,

363. I think they'll give us a second look.

364. And what they'll see is you targeting blacks and Latinos.

365. That's who's here. We target the criminals.

366. Most of their victims are black and Latino.

367. They're smart enough...

368. I'm not trying to kill it.

369. Maybe with some modifications

370. this plan could be a little more civilian-friendly, that's all.

371. This coming from a councilman or a police captain?

372. Both. And you should know there's a chance

373. that I could be overseeing these seizures

374. on the police committee.

375. We don't answer to the police committee on this.

376. Not yet.

377. - Yeah. - We just missed him.

378. What happened?

379. Flower-shop owner saw him, called it in.

380. We missed him by five minutes. What do you need?

381. As many bodies as you can spare.

382. I gotta blanket the area. Okay.

383. Excuse me.

384. Raga's who our boss is interested in.

385. Sees the tag in a dozen places every day on her way into work.

386. He's the main tagger for the One-Niners.

387. "Raga paints." P is for Po Boys, ain't, S stands for shit.

388. "Po Boys Ain't Shit." Cute.

389. So does this have anything to do

390. with the, uh, territory being disputed?

391. This is the front line,

392. which is why Raga keeps hitting this sign.

393. Raga just gets the word out.

394. But if we get him, we can find who's giving the orders.

395. Yeah, look for hoodies or skullies,

396. and a backpack to carry the paints.

397. I've tried to get you guys onto taggers for a long time.

398. What changed?

399. We got a new captain.

400. What's the chance of this guy hitting again tonight?

401. Sometimes it's hard to tell if ours is dry

402. before they tag over it.

403. Possible man down. That's us.

404. Thanks.

405. Have you looked at his file?

406. Glanced at it.

407. Sixty-year-old drug dealer that's never been arrested?

408. Late bloomer?

409. There's a possession charge in '89.

410. A citation.

411. We've got unis staking out a guy

412. who got a ticket for having a joint.

413. Maybe he's careful.

414. You said he was a late bloomer.

415. DA says he's important.

416. I think they're trying to jerk us off.

417. They requested us. Yeah.

418. Because everybody else is out hunting a rapist.

419. Take yes for an answer.

420. Please.

421. Ruiz ran out of here less than 20 minutes ago.

422. Where do you want us? Start up on Bonnie Brae.

423. Work your way north. Okay.

424. Hey, Vic. Ruiz just called his fiancée.

425. She tipped him the cops are there.

426. Tell me we got a trace.

427. They're gonna take care of you.

428. I need you with me.

429. I'll be right behind you. I promise.

430. Look, sir, come on, calm down.

431. It's his house.

432. Aah! Son of a bitch!

433. Neighborhood canvass came up empty.

434. He's got family in Fresno.

435. Unis are at the train and bus stations. What's your next move?

436. I'm on the fiancée and the friend.

437. We're gonna expand the neighborhood search.

438. Ruiz didn't sling, he wasn't a member of a gang.

439. And maybe you should talk to Dutch.

440. He's a little more plugged-in to this guy's psychology

441. than you are.

442. It's time to get creative.

443. Five-0.

444. Suvuto.

445. How'd you and your thorns like to play deputy for a day?

446. God's work ain't cop's work, homey.

447. I think Jesus'll loan you out for this one.

448. Name's Oscar Ruiz.

449. He who persecutes my brother persecutes me.

450. Yeah? Well, how about

451. he who rapes my mother or my sister?

452. At least five that we know about.

453. After he's done,

454. he makes them call their husband or boyfriend,

455. tell them how good he was.

456. Ruiz escaped in your 'hood this morning.

457. We'll check it out. Good.

458. Look for flowers.

459. He poses as a delivery guy to get in the house.

460. All right, homes.

461. Someone sees him, I want a call.

462. Hey. Aren't you gonna swear us all in?

463. Blessed is he who delivers this asshole unto me.

464. What do you got, Carl?

465. Pulled him over for rolling a stop sign.

466. Barely. I mean, come on.

467. Hey, somebody tell you to talk?

468. When he opened the window, I noticed

469. a strong marijuana odor in the vehicle.

470. Which gave you probable cause to search.

471. Yes, sir. We found these.

472. Good work, officers.

473. Don't you have anything more important to do?

474. I'm sorry you don't think

475. buying illegal drugs is important.

476. Fortunately, the courts do.

477. Have you heard about the asset seizures we're doing?

478. We caught you with illegal drugs, we can take your car.

479. We find any weed in your house, you can kiss that goodbye too.

480. You can't do that.

481. Watch us.

482. He's not lying.

483. You've never been to prison, have you, Slick?

484. Of course not.

485. Forty years old.

486. You really wanna start down that road now?

487. Look, it was just a couple of reefer sticks. Come on.

488. You've got one chance to help yourself.

489. After that, it's out of my hands.

490. Now, who's your dealer?

491. Maurice, but he's not a dealer.

492. He's just a friend, hooks me up.

493. Got a few plants in his backyard,

494. enough for him and a few others.

495. Three plants in his backyard?

496. That's just his version.

497. The DA's office is trying to make us look like idiots.

498. Why would they do that?

499. Somebody is lying to somebody.

500. Right now Slick's the only person I believe.

501. How was the interview?

502. Oh, our major drug dealer is looking a little minor.

503. Slick's ready to cooperate.

504. Hey, if the DA's willing to pull you two out of mothballs

505. there's plenty I could use you for.

506. Vic talk to you yet?

507. No. He will.

508. Oh, crushing crime one blunt at a time.

509. Find what you need?

510. I've been meeting with people

511. about staff jobs for my district office.

512. I was just checking records.

513. Resources are for law-enforcement personnel.

514. Well, I'm a reservist, so technically I am personnel.

515. Fell short of your 10-year pension, did you?

516. Being a cop gets in your blood.

517. So does being a politician, from what I hear.

518. If I can stay connected to the force

519. a couple of nights a month then I'm happy to serve.

520. I need some fresh air.

521. The effectiveness and fairness of these seizures aside,

522. you're doing a bad job selling them.

523. And you'd like to be my publicist?

524. Forcing property forfeitures and asset seizures

525. on a community that's already decimated?

526. That's the current spin.

527. If this is about council getting a cut of seized property,

528. it's not my area.

529. No, I'm just making a suggestion.

530. I've been where you are.

531. And I've learned there's always a compromise.

532. The policy still needs time to breathe.

533. If I set up a public forum where you can present your plan,

534. answer questions, will you come?

535. Sure.

536. You want a tip? Well, I got one for you.

537. Heard about some éses running some wetbacks over the border.

538. I can eat lunch downtown,

539. trip over one or two on my way in the door.

540. Shit. My mom's got half a dozen

541. sleeping in the backroom any given night.

542. Well, these Mexicans, they check in,

543. they don't check out.

544. What does that mean?

545. They gotta find a family member

546. willing to pay a 5-grand relocation fee.

547. I got some credit now?

548. Yeah.

549. If the check clears.

550. Hey.

551. I heard about that rapist.

552. Think you're close?

553. I could use a break.

554. What are you into?

555. Got a line on a coyote farm.

556. Getting ready to move, thought you might wanna hop on.

557. I could use a break, not charity.

558. Peace offering, that's all.

559. You remember Shane Vendrell.

560. He's got something brewing in our backyard.

561. Got word on a coyote farm.

562. Uh, hoping maybe you could give us some backup.

563. They're housing illegal aliens?

564. Until the family can pay to spring them.

565. Just when they think they're free and clear,

566. boom, final bill comes due.

567. All my officers are tied up chasing Ruiz.

568. So I guess we're on our own.

569. Well, let me, uh... Let me know when you're in position.

570. See what I can spare.

571. Thank you.

572. Uh, so how's the hunt?

573. I got some things worth looking into.

574. Oh, look what the rat dragged in.

575. He's got a line on something.

576. Some One-Niner dropping stolen airbags

577. at a garage on Third.

578. Think I'll cut out the back.

579. So, what's going on with Webster?

580. You tell me.

581. Are you saying you don't have anything yet?

582. No. We hear he's got

583. three marijuana plants in his backyard.

584. Oh, well, three is enough for us.

585. You said he was a major drug dealer.

586. He's selling drugs, isn't he?

587. What aren't you telling me?

588. I'm not gonna push this any further.

589. Webster's about to testify for the defense in a murder trial

590. and we'd like to undermine his credibility.

591. You had us target a guy to keep him off the witness stand?

592. That's bullshit.

593. You wanted out of the doghouse, remember? You came to me.

594. And you knew if you laid it out for me, I wouldn't go for it.

595. It's not illegal.

596. What, just immoral?

597. Not the way I see things.

598. My partner doesn't like the smell of it.

599. Well, fortunately, you promised to keep her under control.

600. But if you don't like the way the deal is anymore,

601. we can go back to the way things were.

602. So you'll go under with Slick, right?

603. Do me a favor.

604. Get somebody else. It's our case.

605. Well, I'd rather not.

606. Well, that's great. That's fantastic.

607. Hey. Hey, don't you walk away from me.

608. Not after I've had your back every day

609. for the last six months.

610. Look.

611. This is our way to get back into the rotation, okay?

612. He'll never buy me in this world. It has to be you.

613. Hey. Get back!

614. Get on the sidewalk now!

615. Back off!

616. Drop the stick right now. Drop it.

617. Holy shit.

618. Back off. They think it's your guy.

619. They started chasing him, he called 911.

620. Hey, hey. Back off.

621. Back off!

622. He's not the rapist.

623. He's Chinese, for chrissake.

624. What's wrong with you people?

625. Hey.

626. What happened to calling me first?

627. They thought they got him. Got excited.

628. If he's a Chinaman driving an actual floral truck

629. then feel free to assume he's not our escaped Hispanic rapist.

630. Hey, all you said was flowers, man.

631. I asked for eyes on the street, not a lynch mob.

632. And trust me, you find him, he won't enjoy the process.

633. For chrissake.

634. What happened?

635. Ah, running down Ruiz has everyone a little on edge.

636. On edge? You put a street gang on payroll?

637. Look, I was just going for intel.

638. These guys follow the Messiah, not Suge Knight.

639. We're lucky they didn't kill him.

640. It's under control.

641. I got the genie back in the bottle.

642. Maybe you should've asked the genie for three wishes.

643. About as realistic as expecting

644. a street gang to do your policing for you.

645. Yeah, I get it.

646. Are you gonna burn me, Vic?

647. No, I'm gonna catch this guy.

648. A lot of people warned me about using you.

649. Maybe I should've listened.

650. You told me to get creative. That doesn't always go smoothly.

651. She's been sitting there all day because she's afraid to go home.

652. Talked to Dutch?

653. Enjoy the show?

654. Deputizing vigilantes. I gotta write that one down.

655. Yeah, well, the point is to find this prick

656. before he rapes again.

657. Which is the only reason I'd ask your opinion.

658. Shoot.

659. Ruiz had a roommate.

660. Got a hundred bucks off him.

661. Worked once, it can work twice.

662. I'm on him.

663. We know about the fiancée.

664. No family in town.

665. You watching the border?

666. I got the street stuff covered.

667. I need you to drop some profile bullshit on me.

668. Preferably something useful.

669. He used to rape once every two or three months.

670. He's raped twice today already. As I predicted, he's bingeing.

671. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a genius.

672. What else does he binge on?

673. At the end of the day, these guys are all loners.

674. And loners become creatures of habit. They have to.

675. Prison's forced deprivation. Now he can indulge.

676. So, what else does he like besides raping?

677. Kicking soccer balls, watching video games,

678. the same porn movie, whatever it is

679. he's been missing it.

680. You're welcome, asshole.

681. So, uh, Slick says your mama's ill.

682. I swear, I don't know which is worse, the chemo or the cancer.

683. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

684. Weed's the only thing seems to help.

685. Wait right here, Claudette.

686. It's not chronic, but it is fire.

687. Yeah.

688. It's usually $20 a bag.

689. But the second one, for your mama, is gratis.

690. Hey, thanks, man. That's great of you.

691. Yeah. God bless.

692. I talked to you at the Continental.

693. I remember.

694. How did you get my home number?

695. I can get any number I want.

696. All right, look, I'm gonna hang up.

697. No, please don't.

698. I'm interested in getting together.

699. But I need to be more careful than most people.

700. There's some precautions we need to take.

701. All right.

702. Why don't you come over to my place tonight

703. and we'll talk about them?

704. Okay.

705. What did Ruiz like to do before he went away?

706. I don't know.

707. Where did he spend his time?

708. In his room. Doing what?

709. I didn't even wanna know.

710. Okay, you know what? I got this. I got it.

711. This guy did something besides raping all day.

712. What was it?

713. He'd get his takeout and close his door. All day, every day.

714. What kind of takeout?

715. Chicken pot pie, man.

716. Same thing, same place.

717. The chicken pot pie at Clucky's.

718. Clucky's.

719. Good.

720. I just waited on him.

721. This guy?

722. An hour ago. I do something wrong?

723. Did you talk to him?

724. Of course. I live off tips. Seemed nice.

725. He's looking for a car, asked what I drove.

726. He asked me out too, but I told him I had a fiancé.

727. Jimmied. Where's your registration?

728. Glove compartment.

729. That's funny.

730. Not really.

731. Vic!

732. He's going for the street.

733. Police!

734. Stay with him.

735. Stop!

736. Come. Come.

737. Come on. He's close.

738. Send him.

739. Take him!

740. Should I call him back?

741. Not yet.

742. Ruiz, throw out your gun.

743. Throw out your gun right now.

744. He lost the gun.

745. Call the dog back?

746. This guy raped five women, two today.

747. Yeah, he might still be packing.

748. Get him off of me!

749. Get off of me!

750. Okay. Sounds like he's ready to give up.

751. Aus, enough.

752. Emily.

753. Yeah.

754. We got him.

755. One of our officers can take you home now.

756. Is he in jail?

757. He's in the hospital.

758. They used a police dog to subdue him.

759. Ruptured one of his testicles.

760. They say dogs are a good judge of character.

761. Hey, that was a nice tip today.

762. Rescued over 80 illegals, made six arrests.

763. That worked out real good.

764. No doubt.

765. Look, I'm not unreasonable.

766. You work with me,

767. I'm gonna work with you.

768. Keep both our asses in the clear.

769. It's good to give, but it's nice to receive.

770. Mackey's got his eye on this garage on Third.

771. Dropping, uh, stolen airbags or something.

772. Yeah, okay.

773. But the seizure thing, man. How's that gonna play out?

774. I'm working on getting close for you.

775. Good looking. Told you.

776. This could be a beginning thing.

777. If the check clears.

778. Man, I don't make trouble.

779. I... I... I don't hurt anybody. I... I don't sell to kids.

780. I keep to myself.

781. But y'all act like I'm out there

782. killing people.

783. I was looking out for your mama, wasn't I?

784. Now y'all wanna lock me up.

785. For three plants.

786. That ain't right.

787. Can I talk to you outside?

788. Beth is gonna take over from here.

789. He's all yours.

790. What happened? Went by the tire store.

791. The airbag guy definitely pulled up stakes and moved on.

792. Shane tipped him off.

793. All right. Good news is we know about it.

794. So from now on, watch what you say around him.

795. You're a part of this now.

796. What, I got a choice?

797. All right, what do I gotta do?

798. Shane thinks he knows all our moves,

799. so let's throw him a curve ball.

800. Pick up Antwon's kid.

801. Let's let this guy feel the heat.

802. Which guy? Antwon or Shane?

803. Both.

804. You can smoke if you like.

805. I might.

806. I'm glad you wanted to see me.

807. I need to work some things out.

808. Me too.

809. I need you to proposition me so I know I'm safe.

810. I, uh, wanna be with you.

811. Sexually.

812. I'll pay you. Just tell me how much.

813. You're different, David.

814. I can tell.

815. I like you.

816. Next time, you should bring me a gift

817. to show me that you like me too.

818. Anything you want, but nice.

819. Six hundred dollars' worth.

820. I can't wait to see what you pick out.

821. What are you doing?

822. I'm undressing you.

823. I'll undress you.

824. Okay. That hurts.

825. You can slap,

826. but you can't leave bruises.

827. Anywhere.

828. No scratching and absolutely no blood.

829. You can pull hair as long as you don't pull it out.

830. And you can choke if it doesn't hurt too much.

831. I'll show you a safe signal in case I think it's going too far.

832. Didn't we see her before?

833. Raga's a girl.

834. Let me see your hands.

835. Sorry to ruin your masterpiece.

836. Not worth it.

837. Just come down the way you went up.

838. Come on.

839. You've cost this city tens of thousands of dollars in cleanup.

840. Send me the bill.

841. We will.

842. But you tell me

843. who's planning this war with the Po Boys,

844. who's giving you these messages,

845. I can make things better.

846. Bring her something to eat while she thinks it over.

847. Hamburger and fries.

848. Settle a bet first. What's Raga stand for?

849. Righteous angel, gorgeous ass.

850. I don't admire the artwork,

851. but I got to admire the confidence.

852. How's Pops?

853. I don't know.

854. If he's king asshole, that make you prince?

855. I get some juice on the street. But I get problems too.

856. Lot of guys wanna take me down for being his blood.

857. Hell, yeah.

858. You're walking around with a bull's-eye on your chest.

859. And where's Antwon?

860. Oh, yeah, that's right,

861. he's got 10 other kids to look in on.

862. I hardly know the cat.

863. Just hear the lectures about me

864. going on the straight and narrow.

865. He should take his own advice, right?

866. I got an idea how to get him back

867. for all those sad Christmas mornings.

868. Back up, man.

869. I don't like the dude.

870. But I ain't gonna help the white occupation take him down either.

871. Look, I heard about the garage, I passed on the info.

872. But I'm not gonna guarantee these things.

873. Look, man, I don't give a shit about that garage.

874. Then what the hell's your problem?

875. They busted my son.

876. You hear about that?

877. They come around here looking for help when they want it.

878. And then they go and bust my son.

879. They bust my kid, man.

880. You think that shit is just bad luck?

881. I'll find out what I can.

882. They're coming to get me through my blood, man.

883. That's what this shit is about.

884. He said he'll look into it.

885. Well, damn it, look into it,

886. because that's what you're here for.

887. You're starting to sound a lot like Halpern.

888. Maybe you're thinking about dropping a dime too?

889. It's cool, brother.

890. It's cool.

891. I thought you said you were close to the seizures dude.

892. I will be.

893. Right.

894. Then I'm waiting on you, white shadow.

895. You been holding my daughter all night for a little graffiti?

896. Your daughter tags for one of the most violent gangs

897. in the city.

898. Not my daughter.

899. Hi, Mom.

900. So where should we send the bill?

901. Still working the garage sting. Love that.

902. So I want back in.

903. Really?

904. Yeah, you're right.

905. This new captain, Farm's where the action is.

906. But I'll need Army too. We come as a package.

907. I can't promise anything, but... But I'll grease her wheels.

908. Thanks.

909. But that being said, things are gonna be different now, right?

910. I'll report to you,

911. but I answer to her, just like we talked about.

912. I can probably make that work.

913. Beth Insardi just called.

914. The DA wants the two of you on a fresh double murder.

915. Great. Where...? Where are the bodies?

916. Is the DA's office assigning cases now?

917. I expected a smile or two.

918. What did we do to deserve this?

919. I don't catch your meaning.

920. Exactly whose agenda were we servicing

921. by targeting and rolling a three-plant drug kingpin?

922. I'm not aware of any agenda.

923. Right.

924. Shane Vendrell.

925. The guy who rolled those coyotes.

926. Yeah.

927. I know we're taking on new personnel.

928. Truth is, I... I could really use someone like him

929. working the drug angle with these gangs.

930. He made a nice bust today.

931. But I don't know him very well other than what's on paper.

932. A lot of that's bad.

933. Aceveda hated Shane as much as he hates me.

934. That's what that is.

935. Didn't the two of you have some problems bigger than Aceveda?

936. Well, brothers fight. Who do you trust more?

937. So you're vouching for him?

938. Yeah. He's a great cop.

939. Okay.
