Episode 204: Brothers of Nablus v 1.
01 Come on, Moishe, open up.
- Who are they? - New customers.
Everything we do, without exception, can be seen many ways in the eyes of God, or nature, or whatever you want to call it.
Someone came into your home.
Someone took things that were yours.
The Torah says, "Lo tikom ve'lo titor.
" No revenge, no retribution.
On the other hand, it also says, "Ayan tachat ayn.
" An eye for an eye.
And we have the story of the Brothers of Nablus We came here looking for our diamonds.
Can you help us or not? I wish I could.
But lately, business is dry as a bone.
I called four other fences.
They said you were the busiest man on the block this week.
Nothing you'd be interested in.
Show us.
These I bought in the last two days.
All from legitimate sources.
This one's ours.
Young lady, even if those were your diamonds, and they're not there's no way you could tell that with the naked eye.
We have machines.
So are these.
We don't want any trouble.
Tell us where you got 'em and we're gone.
You think I can put a face to every diamond in this stack? Just a face from the last 24 hours.
Moishe, please.
All right.
It's so early in the week for trouble.
But it's not for you.
It's for Jesse.
His name's Ostrowski.
Walter Ostrowski.
Where do we find him? He works out of Toluca Lake, or so he says.
I just buy the stones.
And this Ostrowski, you're sure he's the guy who sold you these? I shall not lie.
If you're so into God, what are you doing here? Hashem has a plan for us all.
For me, diamonds.
- Who's Jesse? - He came back with me.
He handled the diamonds.
One of them killed him.
Do you want some gum? No.
You sure? It's cinnamon.
Would it kill you to try and make a little conversation? No, it wouldn't kill me.
Funny.
You're funny.
In your own sort of cop way.
I'm not a cop.
You're not a cop.
You're not an uncle.
You're just some guy who wants to kick the crap out of little Miss Bitch and her brother.
Just some guy.
But why? She try to kill you too? Yes.
Well, this is gonna be fun.
I can't believe they stole your food.
Freaking amateurs, man.
I know, right? What do you think they're gonna do with two-week old maple turkey? Bet your mom freaked out, huh? Yeah, on me.
On you? Why on you? The alarm code.
- Did I forget? - Yeah, you did.
I didn't actually see it happen.
I wasn't here, but I'm sure this Yeah, I'm positive.
This is where they busted her.
I heard the cops talking about it when they brought her in.
You are so buying me these pink and whites, and that is all there is to it.
Have you seen this girl? I'm looking for this girl.
I'm so sorry, John.
I can't believe I did that.
Don't worry about it.
It wouldn't have stopped a break-in.
Might have stopped the picnic, but So I know you want to find them and everything, but this is getting a little shady.
Does she hate me now? Don't sweat it.
It's a long list.
You won't get what you want this way.
You should try being warmer to people.
They might be more open, you know, to talk to you.
I love this stuff.
That's my bad.
That's the guy.
That's definitely the guy.
What am I doing here, detective? You've been on my side of the table.
You know how this works.
I ask a question, you answer it.
- Why am I being questioned? - You tell me.
Who's Peter Meyers? - I don't know Peter Meyers.
- You killed him.
Killed him? - No.
- Yes.
I've got a witness.
Saw the murder.
Recognized you from the news a few weeks ago.
Recognized me? - From the news? - The news? You the sole survivor.
By now you're drowning in guilt, I'm guessing.
- Throw yourself an anchor.
- Don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about surviving, Mr.
Ellison.
I'm talking about the everyday, walk around pain of surviving when others have not.
I wanna talk to my lawyer.
Sure.
I meant to ask you.
Why did you steal his clothes? - What? - Meyers' clothes.
- You were naked when you killed him.
- I told you, it wasn't me.
Smart.
Your alibi isn't exactly ironclad, Jim.
Unless, of course, you got a twin brother I don't know about.
You got a twin brother I don't know about? Dr.
Ostrowski's in with patients all afternoon.
- Would you like to make an appointment? - We'll just take a second.
Excuse me! Walter Ostrowski? I think you have something that belongs to us.
Do I know you? No, but we have a friend in common, someone in the diamond district.
Moishe.
Why don't we talk in my office.
It's just across the hall.
Please, please, don't kill me.
- Where's our stuff? - What stuff? Passports, IDs, credit cards.
- Leather jacket.
- Everything you stole from our house.
Your house? I don't Tell Moishe I'll pay him.
I'll give you the money today.
It's upstairs in my office.
- Pay Moishe for what? - Everything I owe him.
Please.
Just don't kill me.
Let him go.
- Why? - He's not the guy who robbed us.
And go get Moishe's money.
That's why we're here, running a collections agency for your fence? Why we're here is because our security system didn't work.
Why we're here is because that boy behaves less like John Connor and more like John Baum every day.
That boy, my son, has been through more than you'll ever know.
Right back at you.
My friends.
Is this what you're looking for? You do something for me, I do something for you.
It's business.
This is business.
Please, I just buy the stones.
Who sold you our diamonds? Okay, okay, his name is Tristan Dewitt.
- He lives in Reseda.
- Not good enough.
It's true.
I swear! He's a friend of my cousin's, a punk.
That's all I know.
You killed Liko.
Not yet.
You're never gonna find them like this.
Do you even know how many people live in LA County? An employee at the grocery store saw them shopping there on more than one occasion.
It's highly likely they live within a one-mile radius.
I'm looking for this girl.
This is stupid.
Just take me back to the halfway house.
Did you hear me? I am done hanging out with a creepy stalker.
I don't even know your name.
I just came with you because I wanted to get back at that bitch.
And I thought you were kind of cute.
But you know what? You're not cute.
You're freakin' Silence of the Lambs.
This is kidnapping.
You know that, right? I could have you arrested.
What are you doing? Why are we stopping? Freak! You're blocking the sun.
Had an interesting morning with our friend Moishe.
He's dropping your name in front of people who don't need to be hearing your name.
- Well, he's your fence.
- He likes you better.
I'll have a talk with him.
Help me out, will you? How long are you planning on keeping this up? - What? - You know what, all this.
Well, I'm certainly gonna try to get through today without you spoiling it for me.
The sun sets at 5:47.
I'm not missing that sucker.
I'm not missing one of those again.
I'm looking for this girl.
Why are you looking for her? Has she done something? She's my niece.
You You look really familiar.
Common face.
Have you seen my niece? I haven't.
I'm sorry.
The house next door, it's on the market.
- You're listed as the contact.
- That house has been rented.
Thank you for your time.
You guys really know how to party.
My mom's not much of a cook.
What about Cameron? She's not really into food.
You gonna get that? No, if they need me, they'll call my cell.
Oh, right, because you're so important.
Hello, Baum residence.
Yeah, just a sec.
Here's John.
It's your neighbor.
Thanks.
- Yeah, hey, Kacy.
What's up? - Hey, John.
I don't mean to bother you, but there was a guy here looking for your sister.
- When? - Just now.
And I did not get a good vibe from him at all.
Something was just off, you know? What's the matter, John? What's wrong? - Out.
We gotta get out now.
- Why? Who's there? - No, it's okay, I'll get rid of him.
- No, now.
I'm looking for this girl.
She's my niece.
Sorry, I don't know her.
Wish I could be more help.
Good luck finding her.
How do you like your new house? It's really nice, I love it.
Excuse me, what do you think you're doing? Hello, you can't just come into people's homes.
Hello, are you listening to me? What is wrong with you? You're not in these photographs.
Maybe because I was the one taking them.
Look, if you don't leave, I'm calling the police.
Thank you for your time.
We were too supportive.
That was the problem in a nutshell.
Your son says he wants to be a filmmaker.
You tell him, "Son, movies are great.
"I love going to see them.
But that's pie in the sky.
"You need a salary job.
" Thank you for not going to the police about this.
We just want our things back.
"Come live at home," I told him.
"Until you can get on your feet.
" And every time I bring up the idea of him getting a salary job, he's got this project to work on, or that short film he's producing.
He's had his troubles, but he's a good boy.
He's not a boy, Donna.
He's a 34-year-old man.
He lives with us, working in a video store, robbing people's homes.
Video store? Saturn video on La Brea.
And who knows if that's true when every other word out of his mouth is a lie.
Does your son have any friends who might know where he is? Anyone at the video store? Dave.
Dave.
Another boy wonder.
This is a very curious turn of events, Mr.
Ellison.
I'm innocent.
There's an eyewitness.
It wasn't me.
The witness is quite sure.
As I would be if I had seen what he'd seen.
Is there something you want to tell me, James? Something only I would believe? Not here.
I'll be in touch.
Miss Weaver.
Thank you for believing me.
What good is faith if we don't use it? - Where are we going? - Nowhere.
Anywhere.
That guy isn't really Cameron's uncle.
Because then he'd be your uncle.
He's nobody's uncle.
Then why is he after Cameron? Is she a criminal or something? No, he is, all right? Well, what if he comes back? That's not how That's not how he works.
- John, I don't understand.
- Look, that guy is really dangerous.
That's all you need to know.
Really dangerous.
Well, I got rid of him, didn't I? I stared him down, and off he went.
- You got lucky.
- Ease up, squinchie.
"Lucky" is my middle name.
Lucky Riley Dawson.
In that sentence, "Lucky" was your first name.
Whatever.
Stickler.
Admit it, I was a brave, spooky ninja.
It was totally badass.
Say it! Just say it.
It was badass.
I know! Fool's errands and the Fathers of Nablus.
- It's been a great day.
- Brothers.
- What? - Brothers of Nablus.
Genesis.
Chapter 34.
You've memorized the Bible? Jacob's daughter Dinah is raped by Shechem, Prince of Nablus.
He falls in love with her.
Shechem's father comes to Jacob and strikes a bargain to allow his son to marry Dinah.
- That's brave of him.
- Jacob says yes, on the condition that all the men in Shechem's town be circumcised.
Everybody gets what they want.
Three days later, while Shechem's men were still in pain from the circumcision, Dinah's brothers rode into the city and killed them all.
That's your kind of story.
Yes.
My kind of story.
Hello.
- Miss Baum? - Yeah.
This is Dan Deffenbaugh calling to let you know somebody just attempted a charge with your card.
- Where? - At a bowling alley in Van Nuys.
Alien Lanes.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I just have a few more questions, then we'll get you out of here.
You say Mr.
Ellison was completely nude when he killed Meyers.
I already told you.
And that he killed him with his bare hands? - Didn't use a weapon? - He strangled him.
Did Meyers fight back? A little, but the other guy was too strong.
How so? Snapped his neck like it was nothing.
A toothpick.
Where was Mr.
Ellison before he killed Mr.
Meyers? - Out on the road.
- The road.
The road, the street, asphalt.
- Anything unusual about the street? - Who cares about the street? Are you lying about the street? It was like - It was like a crater.
- A pothole.
It was like a complete dent in the road.
Mr.
Ellison just appeared out of thin air? - There was a light.
- What kind of a light? Bluish purple.
It made, like, a cracking sound.
Like lightning.
So Mr.
Ellison emerged from this energy bubble.
I never said anything about a bubble.
But there was a bubble, correct? So to be clear, you saw Mr.
Ellison materialize out of this energy bubble, completely nude, walk to Peter Meyers, snap his neck, steal his clothes, and then disappear.
- I know what I saw.
- Thank you for your assistance.
Nice.
It's 1863 and Abraham Lincoln is on the train to Gettysburg.
Then the train breaks down.
Some small Pennsylvania town.
So he's got to stay there overnight.
The only problem town's overrun with zombies.
We shoot it on location, in Gettysburg, 35 millimeter.
Dude, with what money? What money? Do you know how much we made just off these right here? Put it down.
That bag you're holding, it's mine.
- Not anymore it isn't.
- This place is closed, ladies.
Unless you wanna get arrested, I suggest you get the hell out.
My jacket, give it to me.
Come and get it.
- Come and give it to me.
- And the bag.
There's a credit card missing.
We used it on the arcades.
We'll pay you back.
Where's the other guy? What other guy? Stay here.
They knew where we live.
You know those guys out there? Were you with them when they robbed the house? You were never there.
You were never here.
You never saw me.
You don't know what happened here.
Understand? If you say anything to anybody about what happened here, I'll hunt you down.
I'll kill you.
Now you wait five minutes, then you run.
Understood? - Clear? - Yeah, clear.
- You're free to go.
- What? The witness is a nutjob.
The judge kicked his statement in 5 min.
We'll have you out of here in an hour.
Sorry you had to go through all this.
That's it? You're a smart guy, Jim.
Take "yes" for an answer.
Good luck out there.
You were gonna have a talk with him.
I did.
It was short.
What were you gonna say to him? Well, you know me.
Funny Derek.
- How was the sunset? - Never better.
You never really struck me as the type to stalk your ex-wife.
I'm sorry.
I just I had an urge to see the house.
See something familiar.
Weird, I know.
You do realize you don't live here anymore.
Fancy ride.
No wonder we keep losing people to civilian life.
Company car.
They lease it for me.
I have to tell you, you don't look so well.
Yeah, I'm not.
I just I don't know, I I miss it.
I miss my old life.
James, this is a really weird time to start into all that.
No, no, I don't mean that.
Things have changed.
And I just - I didn't.
- You're not making sense.
Come on, come inside.
Paul can make coffee.
We'll talk about it.
Thanks, but I didn't come over for that.
Yes, you did.
This was the wrong thing for me to do.
I don't live here anymore.
It was the right thing to do.
Just five years too late.
Call me the next time you wanna see something familiar.
I'll send you a picture.
Who was it? They won't be back.
Place looks good.
I think we pretty much got everything back to how it was.
We? Riley helped.
So how'd you find 'em? - Was it Derek's fence, or what? - You can't bring people here anymore.
What? She had nothing to do with this.
No, you did.
She just made it worse.
She's a security risk.
Really? She's never tried to kill me.
And you know that this has nothing to do with Riley.
Or the rules.
Or the security of this house.
You're pissed off cause I found someone I actually like spending time with and it's not you.
You think I don't want you to have a normal life? No, I don't.
We didn't choose this, John.
It chose us.
And there's nothing either of us can do about it.
My job is to protect you.
And you can hate me as you want, but I will keep doing that as long as I'm here.
Then why didn't you protect me when I was killing Sarkissian? Why didn't you protect me when I had my hands around his throat? Why didn't you protect me from that? It's a moray.
They're nocturnal predators.
- Does it have a name? - No, it doesn't.
Please, sit.
I read the witness report.
So did I.
He comes across as crazy, doesn't he? - Who wouldn't? - You, if you'd tell me the truth.
There was another one of you, wasn't there? A twin? Where is it now? I don't know.
Why did it come? I think I'm being tested.
Like Job? You know the story? He suffered worse than any man before him.
Everything he loved was taken away.
Everything but his life.
But he didn't renounce God.
And God spared him.
So who spared you? Where did you get those credit cards? I don't know.
Yes, you do.
She said she would find me.
She said she would kill me.
I promise you, she won't.
