Elisa.
Be a good bitch.
Get out here.
Ow! - Ready? - Yeah, let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Ah Detective Wagenbach Craig Milne Pleasure This is my partner, Claudette Wyms The minute I saw the scene, I thought of your case Strangled, sexually assaulted Semen on the abdomen - It's him - He's moved his hunting grounds - We're canvassing, but so far, nothing - Point of entry? Back door.
I know your guy steals figurines, but this lady was a clean freak.
There's no dust It's hard to tell if anything's gone I contacted her kids They'll be able to tell us more about her movements tonight - Help establish a timeline - Great.
After you've done your report Oh, absolutely I'll put a rush on the DNA and keep you posted We should cross-check our notes for similarities Workin' on a name for the baby yet? Uh, no, we're gonna wait till we find out if it's a boy or a girl.
Let me look at your ring again Oh! - You found yourself a good one this time - I know A real Southern gentleman.
Ma, I, uh I need to talk to you about that money that we gave you You don't know how much it helped We're not asking for it back See, one of my clients gave it to me A two percent kickback for moving their bid to the front of the line People do it all the time in the real estate business It's just - It's just that it's not exactly - Legal? Look, it's not a big deal What Mara didn't know is that this guy, he's, uh he's a bit of a player I found out that the feds are investigating him and that the money could be dirty So, if anyone comes asking you can't say that it came from me 'cause 'cause I could lose my real estate license It wouldn't be the first time I covered for you, would it, sugar? Yeah Where's the goddamn money? Let her go, man! Do it now! Put the money in the bag! Let's go I need money! Hurry! I swear to God, I'll blow your head off! - Stop screwing around! - Okay, okay! - What the hell, man? Move your ass! - And the coins too, asshole! And the coins too! Okay, okay! Don't shoot! Let's go, let's go! Now, bitch! Police! Get down! Get down! Call 9-1-1 Two in the 10 ring Nice - Yeah - Two got away, and you hit one of them? Yeah, in the, uh, arm or the shoulder I'm gonna have to take your weapon, Captain Well, it's my personal piece I, uh, was running errands when I saw the robbery go down When we get an I.
D.
, check your gang contacts, see who his running mates are.
They're Byz Lats I'll rattle a few cages You wanted back on the street, promised you'd be more valuable there I want to know every pressure point this gang has by morning The dead guy watched me shove a bong down his buddy's windpipe Twenty bucks says his buddy's one of the other shooters Captain out here in the middle of the night, he runs into them? - It's a pretty big coincidence - Unless it's not a coincidence What if these are the guys Diagur sent to get the money out of the freezer? What, the ones you told him to send over? If it's true, then these are the assholes who kicked the shit out of Aceveda, took his gun which means he was tracking them here when this thing went down He might track 'em right back to us and that marked cash Let's not get premenstrual until we talk to Diagur Come on Jesus, Diagur! Who are these guys, huh? Every time I see you, you've got your mouth wrapped around a clam Throw something on We've got problems Killing Ricky was payback for him and Juan getting his gun off him Ricky, Juan Those are the guys you sent for the marked money? - Juan, he was in on this robbery? - Yeah - What about the other guy? - Talking about Vido? One of my boy's cousins He wanted courting in Nice initiation, shooting at a cop They told me they were gonna rob some slant-eyes - They check in yet? - No When they do, you tell them to get their asses out of here I'm not talking about a long weekend in Eagle Rock I mean Mexico I'll take care of the rest.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine You didn't call I just saw it on the news I'm trying to track down the two guys who escaped David, you shot someone, they shot at you Come home Whatever's happened you need to come home now I'm not finished How's Matthew doing with his workshops? Very well.
His aptitude for cognitive reasoning's accelerated.
Ideas and thoughts are often clearer - How's he doing with other kids? - He's internalizing less So he's making friends He still keeps mostly to himself but he's getting more curious.
These are great The children's assignment was to draw a picture of their family.
- Where's Matthew's? - I took it down I didn't think you should see it without an explanation first What kind of explanation? Matthew's picture was ofhis mother, his two sisters and his therapist, Owen It's often common for autistic kids to become confused - during changing situations, right? - Absolutely.
I can get you the drawing, if you want - Sure - Okay.
- Yeah - My mom wants more money What? She did the math Two percent of a $600,000 sale - She said that adds up to more than seven grand - She said that? - When? - As soon as you walked out the door.
She waits to get me alone to pull her shit Well, maybe you just misunderstood She asked me for another three grand - What did I misunderstand? - Your mother is blackmailing us Look, let's just give her the money, okay? No Ronnie, could you close that door? I know who took our cash from the storage locker It was Mara It was all the midnight runs we were doing She got suspicious - She thought that I was hiding something from her.
- I don't believe this Look, she found a key.
She tracked down the storage place from a receipt She thought that the cash was mine - I'm sorry.
I was careful - Does she know about the money train? No, no She thinks that we've been skimming off drug busts or something "We"? She knows that we're involved? We need her help with the marked bills in Indio Why? Who's in Indio? - Mara's mother lives there - Jesus Christ! - She sent her a few grand, before I knew she had it.
- So the mom knows too? - No, but she thinks there's more where that came from - This is beautiful.
We're already in deep shit with the marked money if Aceveda tracks down Diagur's errand boy - Now we gotta sweat your future mother-in-law? - I'm trying to wrap her up I'm trying to wrap her up, but the broad is a piece of work Mara's got horror stories How come every piece of ass you hit is more trouble than the last? - Hey, I'm marrying this girl - Well, I'm not, all right? - So unless she's got a pussy that cures cancer - Shut your mouth right now! Hey, hey.
Look, Mara's having my child We can trust her You know what I would do if I had her in interrogation? I'd tell her the only way to save her kid's daddy is to give up the three guys he works with It'd take about 15 minutes to flip her - We can trust her - 'Cause you say so? Mara's not the problem at the moment The mom is.
They don't get on to her, they can't get back to us - I will keep working on the mom - No.
We have to erase the trail without her knowing And how are we gonna do that? We gotta think Juan Lozano, one of the guys I shot at Pretty quick ID Yeah, I checked the dead guy's priors, looked for known accomplices Follow me I want you in on this too Lot of manpower for a robbery You weren't the one with bullets flying past your head Juan Lozano, Byz Lats soldier Take a look at the map of their territory Turn every block over Anybody catches this guy, I'd like a call, as a professional courtesy so I can bring him in myself All right, that's it Vic, uh, what were you able to find out? What businesses are the Byz Lats into? - They got some juvies running rock - What else? Some gambling joints A body shop that moonlights in crap shooting, poker That sounds profitable Let's take a run at it - I'll talk to my Cls, and I'll organize a sting - No Right now, you and me Assistant Chief Phillips just called.
He wants you to send copies of all your cuddler files to the Hollywood Division - Why? - No clue He's reassigning the case to the hotshot - No one said that to me - Makes sense.
We've had five victims in two months, and I'm down to working scraps Probably didn't help making an ass of myself in front of Phillips I appreciated that Maybe it does need a new set of eyes.
This is still our case.
I, for one, could use a win.
So what's the plan? Oh, not much of one I checked out guys who got more than one parking ticket in a hot zone week prior to an attack In case he's driving the area, scoping out women on foot Yeah, but it's pointless None of'em are registered sex offenders Maybe we should go back to our original list of probables see what they've been up to this past month - How many parking tickets you got? - Four Okay Let's start with them Call them in first Rule it out All right Go, go, go! Give me the gun! Hands in the air right now! Your hands right now! Stay right there, fat boy Who runs this place? Call your boss, get him down here I never read those damn signs, but I thought I paid my outstanding tickets - Am I in trouble? - This is regarding an unrelated case Actually, we're looking for a white or Latino male, so you're in the clear.
- Anyone else drive your car? - No, I have a fleet of five trucks for my crew - Crew? - I'm a contractor Okay Well, thanks for coming down anyway Well, what's this about? Maybe I can help We've got a man breaking and entering homes He hangs around the neighborhood during the day spies on his victims first - That's terrible I'll keep my eyes open - Thanks Teenage girl, drops offher baby, says she'll be back to pick him up.
That was three hours ago Why'd she leave her baby with you? She said she ran out of gas and didn't have no money, begged me to give her a tank Said she'd go get some cash, and we'd square it up later - She say where she was headed? - Just that it was an emergency I told her to leave her driver's license and gave her some gas So you have her driver's license? She didn't have one Offered to leave her baby instead as collateral - Wh - You agreed to that? Boss don't like me giving out free gas and who abandons her kid? - Diagur, right? - Yeah I want your boys who shot at me He's one of them I don't know where they are What other operations does this asshole have? Something about running rock out of a panaderia on Virgil? That's a start One-niners will appreciate a new customer base When business gets bad enough, call me Keep him away from a phone till I get to his rock store We tried calling you.
There was a mix-up at the phone company We were temporarily disconnected We're looking into parking violations for license plate number Uh, that's Will's car My husband - Is he home? - No, he's working - Oh What does he do? - Can you tell me what this is about? Oh, it's routine We're checking all the residents who received tickets in this district Does your husband work in the Farmington area? No, uh, he may make deliveries there He's a courier for a law firm Cute kids They're from my class I teach third grade Does your husband let anyone else drive his car? I take the bus I'd end up driving on the wrong side of the street - That's 0 for 4 - We should talk to the husband - He doesn't fit the profile - He's a courier Parking tickets place him in the hot zone prior to two of the rapes He works for a law firm She teaches They're not lower class enough Only the lower classes rape and kill? Our guy's uneducated If he has a wife, which I doubt, she isn't so British.
Pretty.
I was gonna say independent - This is all screwed up - Are they on the way to TJ or not? I found Vido He's holed up at Dr Ausanta's house, getting sewed up - Shoulder's a mess - We'll be gentle - Where's Juan? - Still no answer, man You better figure it out, and do it quick.
My vatos are spinning They think I'm losing control When I track down Juan, they want me to give him up to your boss If you do that, you lose everything The captain is taking everything right now! - How much does Juan know about your operations? - He's way inside.
You don't think he'll give up you and your buddies for early parole? He's gonna bring the whole goddamn gang down Shit, man Makes you think Is he really a problem worth having? If not, you get rid of him - Juan's my dog, man - You're the big dog now It's time your balls dropped Police! Don't move! Hey, this one's pretty serious - He's gotta get to an E.
R.
Immediately.

Get him to Mission Cross Nice setup.
A.
M.
A.
Know you're operating here? Look, my son has a problem, a drug problem His dealers asked me to help them.
I do a favor like this, they won't sell him drugs So aiding and abetting a fugitive's gonna get him clean? - He's my son.
- There's another man we're looking for He came in alone - Get him to the Barn - Come on Let's go - I thought you said they were both here - That's what I was told At least we know you scared Diagur into cooperating What's up? Here's Treasury's new prime suspect Neil O'Brien.
Who's he? A violent multiple offender who's not gang-related Six years, armed robbery Assault with a deadly weapon, two and a half - He's on Treasury's radar? - As soon as he puts some of our marked money into the system So we plant money on an innocent? If you can say that with a straight face The guy's been ass deep in it since junior high Best part about it is he's got two brothers in Indio.
The feds are gonna be falling all over him And off Mara's Mommie Dearest - Your prisoner's all patched up You can take him now - Thanks, Corrine Listen, about Matthew's picture We're both his parents We both need to be involved in these decisions I think that the job that Owen's done with him is amazing Matthew seems to be coming out of his shell But you're his father, and if you're not comfortable with Owen dating me and tutoring Matthew then we can find another therapist for him Good That's what I want Social Services is sending someone to pick him up - You want me to hold him? - No, no I'm fine - Maybe we should get him some formula.
- Hey! Ohh! Oh Vanessa and I are gonna have a baby - She's pregnant? - No No I just know everything's gonna work out fine Hey! Ooh Hey! - Where's Juan? - I barely know the guy You know him well enough to take a bullet with his name on it I was just in on the ride.

Stop asking I just met him last night He came by Elisa's - Who's Elisa? - No one! His cooch? Huh? I'm done talking - Track down the drug dealers who arm-twisted the doctor - What for? Because they're drug dealers and they extorted him for medical services That can wait How 'bout I find out who this Elisa is instead? No, I got it You get the other thing Hey, what's going on? Call Diagur Tell him we're looking for some chick named Elisa Elisa Elisa Ortiz - We're looking forJuan Lozano - So am I, half the time Do you mind if we look for him inside?

- Mr Freeman Uh, James, please I did some thinking about your case I'm in that area all the time, and I remembered seeing a guy A suspicious guy He was hanging around the buildings At first I thought he was a gardener, but he wasn't dressed like one Well, we already have a viable suspect, but we appreciate your lead Okay Sure Just thought I should report in to you Uh, leave the details with the desk sergeant We'll look into it We have another viable suspect? That was cold He could have phoned that in He likes you - You're just figuring that out, Detective? - So?

No, he's still at work What is this? The truth is, someone made an anonymous call stating that your husband's car was involved in a string of robberies That's ridiculous Please Chances are, Will cut someone off in traffic; they're trying to make his life miserable Easiest thing is just to let us take a quick look around We don't find 50 VCRs stashed in the closet, end of story Uh, we would need you to sign this consent to search form Oh, my God! - Is he okay? - He was left at a gas station He was with my babysitter, Taniesha When I got home, they were both gone Is Taniesha black, around 16?

It's hard to get published You collect figurines My husband gives me knickknacks Ever since we started dating They're sweet, really.
I just don't know where to put them.
He turned it off He's gonna scare him into giving up Diagur who'll tell him that we knew about the marked money, told him to send someone to pick it up Diagur's not who he's after.
- If it was, he'd be in the cage by now - Then what? Sit down.
I said, sit down You followed me to that stickup? How long you been following me for? How many chances you have to pull the trigger on me and never could, huh? What's that say about you, lawman? Shut up and sit down Why don't you suck my dick? Again A different room, but you the same bitch We'll have surveillance on the house until we get the warrant just in case the wife tips him off Did you talk to the rape victims? Any of the figurines match? There's a little boy fishing, ballerina, girl holding a four-leaf clover - He's going to need the luck Unis are ready Let's go - I'll grab my stuff Thanks for inviting me to ride with you - I haven't made many arrests of this caliber - No problem - How old are you, by the way? - Thirty-three I was 35 before I got a table in the Detective Squad - You must have aced the exam.

Let's get moving No, I did I talked to some of my guys got a good description of the man I told you about and the building addresses Thanks I really can't talk to you right now We just got our guy, so Oh Well, that's great Well So if you'd like to skip to the part where you ask me out hurry You don't like a man to play hard to get, huh? - Uh, can I use your pencil? - Yeah You're running for mayor or something, right? How people gonna feel when they see you blowing my big jail-cell cock, huh? I got a Kodak moment, remember? You remember You mean on this? I deleted the photo.
So I put it on disk, man I'll tell you what You get me out of this trouble I'll make sure no one ever sees it You put it on a disk? How? Huh? How did you do it? Take me through the steps You're too stupid to change a lightbulb let alone figure out how to download.
You didn't show the pictures, and you didn't tell anyone - Oh, yeah? - 'Cause bragging about what you did to a cop Even you're smart enough to know my force would've ripped apart the Lats to get to you No way you'd want your boss knowing you're the reason business was getting shut down.
No This was your little secret So I'll just tell everybody now I ain't got nothing to lose Right You talk now it's a desperate attempt to avoid the gas chamber Or did you forget? I killed the only witness you had I spent the last few weeks getting to know who you are, Juan Do you know your girlfriend Elisa's been banging someone else? - Yeah, right Uh-huh - Someone you know Horatio When you go play cards with your boys twice a week - She likes it too - Yeah.
Think I care what that bitch does? Nah I know you've got a grandmother who's sick Only got a couple of years left She spends every day worried that Immigration's gonna send her back to Mexico to die Maybe I should send a few border boys to knock on her door, hmm? No I know your mom's late on her mortgage payments and she's involved with some pyramid scheme to make money to save the house I barely even talk to that drunk.
I know you're working stolen credit cards for your gang and you're skimming profits off the top even though Elisa keeps telling you it's gonna get you killed.
I know about the headaches you get I know about the uncle who molested you when you were 12 I know about your cousin who's trying to get a scholarship to UC Irvine.
I know which magazines you jerk off to that you think Elisa doesn't know about I know about your brother in Fresno I know the inmate who tried to shank you twice at Terminal Island is Koren Hennessy Denton.
And I know the number to call to clear up a bunk in his cell just for you So you sucked on my dick and then when you had the gun on me, you couldn't pull the trigger, huh? You think I couldn't find the courage to kill you? I spent the last three weeks finding the courage not to kill you Don't think for a second it means I don't believe in revenge You tell just one person some wild story about some incident that never happened you, the people you love will find out about a dozen different kinds of revenge You will learn the things I know, Juan the things I can do It's back Where's my gun? Find Rodriguez or Wagenbach He's ready to give his confession Man, all I did was take the girl to dinner - Where's the kidnapping in that? - He didn't do nothing I did - What happened? - I was babysitting when Anquoin called and asked me out I needed someone to look after the baby I was gonna pick him up after, 'cept there was an accident on the freeway You dumped a baby with a gas station attendant to go out on a date? - I'm gonna kick him - You see Anquoin? Sometimes you only get one shot with a boy like that Mrs Faulks, we have a warrant - What? - Freeze, right there! - William Faulks? You're under arrest - What are you doing? You saw he didn't steal anything For the rapes of Diana Peabo, Isabel Nelson and Layla Gist - Rapes? - For the rape-murders of Dory Smythe Debbie Reese and her daughter Crystal - Will! - Mrs Faulks, step back! - Why are you doing this? - Will gave you figurines as gifts - They were keepsakes stolen from his victims - That is a sick lie! You're arresting him because of those? That's not what you said you were looking for! I did not give you permission for that! - You gave us permission to search the house - No! - We didn't specify what we were searching for - No! You said there were crank calls, robberies! You lied to me! Joanna, stop it Calm down - Will! - Take him.
Get the crime scene geeks in here! I don't want anybody to touch anything until they've been over every inch.
most of the time.
most of the time.
- What took you so long? - Ma had to see where you worked.
Vic take good care of you? - Nothing's sexier than being around three men with guns - I gave her the tour We werejust leaving.
Bye, Vic She She got a message on her answering machine in Indio From who? From a guy from the US Treasury He wants to meet with her Okay We'll talk about it later Okay - The mom is poison - She got a message from a guy with Treasury He wants to meet her Tell Stella to wait a week before calling back Hopefully, by then Irish will have spent some of his newfound cash and he'll be Treasury's new prime suspect.
Okay In the meantime we've moved our stash to another location Where? Mara found out once before We think it'd be safer if you if you don't know - Hi - Hi - How was work? - Good - We're gonna have a child - What? God spoke to me today through a baby We're gonna have our own child Baby? Baby Baby Julien Baby? Jesus! Julien! - Nice work on the extortion case - Thanks The same Must feel pretty good Getting the guys who shot at you Yeah I hear the Korean community's calling you "the sheriff" Big hero What's been going on? What happened yesterday? I wrapped things up David I There he is.
Captain, over here.
Captain Aceveda? Captain, the shooting of one of the suspects, the minor? What's his condition? Thank you all for coming - Captain? - Yes, Carlos? It took a lot of guts to take on three armed men, come under fire then get right back into the field.
I'm inspired, on a daily basis, by the bravery exhibited by the men and women who work under my command I just try to live up to their standards Was this robbery one of a number of increasing gang-related crimes in the Korean community? On the contrary, there has been a substantial reduction of gun violence as you'll see in our quarterly report Is it true you have a meeting next week with the Korean Chamber Sous-titres rippés par KB
