Border Blues (2004) - full transcript

I hoped I was
leaving trouble behind.

But little did I know...

let me start from the beginning.

Leaving for good? [in Russian]

Will you be OK there? [in Russian]

We'll see. [in Russian]

Scared to start all over again? [in Russian]

I guess I am. [in Russian]

I have a work permit,
if that's what you are
worried about.

We're not worried about
your legal status.

Usually we have crimes committed
by Russians who call their own
translators.



I think that Russian detective
could be helpful.

Look, Mr. Somov,
my advice to you is...

-bone up on your English...
-Improve your English.

and I'll talk to my superiors to
see if we really need and
outside consultant.

It was nice meeting you.

Thank you.

[car beeping]

Yo, it's "Go", you moron.

You could go, can't you see?

I'll ask you one more time,
you're gonna go or what?

It's not.

Stupid immigrant, man.
I'll remember you, you'll see,
we'll meet up again.

Pff!

I can do whatever you need. [in Russian]



Good morning.

Morning?

I'm just curious,
what do you have in there?

In you envelope.

Photos of him to show...

my family back home.

It's great.

It's great.

[clapping]

A beautiful dog.

Stay, stay. Stay.

Marvo, wait.

[Speaking Russian]

Excuse me, sir?

Are you from Moscow?

-Moscow?
-Yeah.

Sorry, my dog's from Moscow.
I thought maybe you knew him.

He's usually not
so good with strangers.

Animals are much more
sensitive than people.

He just picked up my frequency.

You go around
sending out frequency?

Like a flying mouse?

[laughing]

We call them "bat"
in this country.

Now I have some advice for you.
I want you to brush up
on your English...

if you expect to get
a decent job in America.

What?

Have you ever seen
the sonic wave?

No.

Would you ever like to see one?

I never thought about it.

I've been to
the other side twice.

Clinically dead.

I was surrounded
by provinciality,

which gave me information
that presidents and Czars can't
even respond.

Very special place.

[intense music]

It's a bomb in that envelope.

What?

What bomb?

Marvo.

Send someone quick.
I'm on the corner of
Third and Central.

Excuse me.

This may seem
like a silly question.

But I need to know the contents
of what's in that envelope.

-Gotta.
-Hey, what's going on?

Please, I need to know
what's in the envelope.

It's none of your business.

[punch]

[police car siren]

-Have a nice day.
-Thanks.

Mr. Miller,
your package has arrived.

[explosion]

[explosion]

This is commander March.

I'm on Third of the Central,
there's an explosion
in the top of the building.

I'm working on another thing,
remember, I'm the commander.
I'm the Chief of police.

Now I want everyone
in their place when I get back.

I'm gonna have a very strong
meeting about what's
been going on. See you soon.

You alright, sir?

[sighs]

Don't blame yourself, chief.
It's just a hunch,
who could've known?

You call that a hunch?

That's why you're a Sargent,
I'm still your boss.

People die of this.

Another fight, probably heading
to the border, you want to
continue to chase?

No, I think it's good
we let them bomb
another building.

[radio reporting]

Yeah, the suspect[illegible]

That's what we got.

Here's what I got.

Three days ago,
the Times' got the letter...

about a corruption scheme
in the pharmaceutical business.

Pushing ineffective drugs
under the market.

Now write this down.

The letter said to all the
pharmaceutical companies...

Be aware and prepared,
the end is coming.

[man smirks]

What's wrong with these people?

Let's hope this works
and get the job done.

Captain, I...

I think I speak for everybody in
the room when I say that none
of us question your gifts.

We can only imagine
what you've been through.

Knock on this door
and coming back twice.

We're just sort of
running the catch-up here.

We only have the facts to go
with, nobody thought of this
out of predictive ground.

How about preventing it
before it happens.

My mother taught me when I
was very young...

never lose my temper.

Bet she never met you idiots!

Our job is
to prevent that crime!

And that's the difference
between winning and losing.

Tell them, I want to invite
them to the Russian roulette.

OK.

This is the address.

-OK, will do.
-Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Where's your report
on that Bromma guy?

Who, sir?

Bromma, the guy
who wrote the article.

That's the guy
who terrorized LA.

Well, sir, obviously,
that name was fake.

We don't know that.

Go, go, go, go, go.

I'm counting on every one of
you.

Lieutenant, I ran the case
files, but I only came up with
one Bromma.

He ran off with
some guys' wife and kid.

He filed the report when he
couldn't find his daughter.

Sounds more like a job for
a marriage counselor,
not a bomb squad.

I still want to
take a look at it.

-Blason.
-Yeah.

-The file?
-Oh, right. Sorry.

That boy.

OK, what else have you got?

I recently ran a list of
everyone fired from, but no one
by the name of Brown.

But we're stilling
following up on that.

See if we can get a list of
everybody who didn't make
into work that day.

We should have it
in a few minutes.

Somov stopped by, he wants
us to meet him at the Russian
roulette, you want to go?

I'm not a gambler.

It's the restaurant he works at.

Oh, in that case, I'm in.

Great.

[speaking Spanish]

I am tired, Mom. [in Russian]

Do you want some water? [in Russian] *FIXME*

It's hot. [in Russian] *FIXME*

Thank you so much.

[speaking Spanish]

And now we got this Russian
lady and her daughter.

She was gonna go with Juan,
but since he got busted...

Can we help them?

Si.

I'll be waiting.

Okay.

-Hi.
-Here's some mango for you.

They're still green.

With a little bit of
salt and this knife,
they taste very good.

Thank you.

This is Larry, he will take
you to the border.

Hi, how is it going?
-Hello.

And who is this little beauty?

-Your daughter?
-Yes.

Hi, sweetheart,
what's your name?

[mom] Her name is Lana,
and she doesn't speak
any English.

I bet she'll understand this.

Here you go.
Here you go, sweetheart.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Have you any bags?

Yeah, there.

-What's going on?
-We gotta get going.

Where?

My wrench,
about an hour drive north.

-Is it in America?
-No, it's still in Mexico.

So why can't we
just go to the border?

Are you in a hurry go to jail?

The Mexican border is very tight
today, I can't cross earlier,
they'd freeze me head to toe.

-Want some [illegible]?
-That's not funny.

I'm not a comedian. Come on.

Did you know Juan well?

I hope the price will be the
same as what we agreed
with Juan.

I think you're probably
wondering why we
want to cross the border.

No matter what happens to me,
I won't pay more than what we
discussed with Juan, okay?

Don't worry, the price
will be the same.

[music playing]

[applauding]

That was great.

-How's the search for
Mr. Bromma?
-So far not so good.

The only Bromma we have
in our file fled the country
about two years ago...

ran off with wife and child
of some poor guy
named Larry McCrosky.

Hmm.

I see they let you
smoke in this place.

Go ahead,
smoke yourself to death.

-I thought you quit.
-I was just asking.

It's refreshing to find
a restaurant in LA
that lets you light up.

This is a nice place to work.

I would prefer to work
in some other place...

where people carry guns
and wearing badges.

They read people their rights
instead of their specials.

March doesn't trust you enough
to let you carry a badge,
not to mention a gun.

Your friends like this place?

-This place is great.
-I'm having a great time.

It's Victor.

Victor asked me to go to
Tijuana and buy some tiles for
the kitchen.

We have a shortage of Russian
cases at the moment, why don't
you go to Tijuana?

I have to find somebody
who can take care of my dog.

I can do that, you have to go,
Tijuana is great.

Okay. I'll go.

Okay, gentlemen.

-Enjoy.
-Thank you very much.

Have a good time.

I gotta toast.

To Somov.

I don't stay here much,
I'm usually in LA, but
this is home.

If I had known things were
going this way, I never had
gone with you.

I'm sure Juan
had a different plan.

Juan's plan?

If Juan had a plan and then
it'll start with something
like this...

he'll get you crosses the border
and put you into some bus
to Canada.

In Canada, one of his guys
get you two visas, get you back
to the States legally.

Am I right?

Of course, I'm right.

Rita, I have exactly
the same plan.

The only difference is,
I can make it happen.

Juan can't.

Anyway, this is your room.

If it makes you feel any better,
there's a lock on the door.

See you guys in the morning.

Sweet dreams.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hi there, doggy.

Hi, doggy.

How about giving
uncle Roy a kiss,
give me a kiss.

No, please, he doesn't like
the smell of alcohol.

I have to change that,
that's for sure.

Come here, boy.

What else I gotta know about?

You have to feed him
twice per day.

Once in the morning before he
walks, and second time when you
come back home.

That's easy enough, a lot easier
than dealing with my ex-wife,
that's for sure.

At least, I don't
have to talk to him.

He likes it
when people talk to him.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Alright, I'll talk to him then.

-Wanna listen to Russian music?
-Yeah, it'd be great.

Yeah, that's right, me and this
big guy, we're gonna be a pair
of happy bachelors.

-Beautiful.
-Nicely done.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Somov's castle, Sargent
McMillan with arms here.

Huh-huh.

Yeah, must be for you,
I don't understand.

Hello.

Somov, I love
when you speak Russian.

That language is beautiful.

As a matter of fact,
I'm going to make
my next wife Russian.

Can you help me with that?

Sure, why not?

What's the matter?
Something wrong?

They denied
my son and daughter's visas.

They deny her because she's
pregnant.

That's not a problem, just wait
until she has the baby and they
can apply again.

They already applied,
it's twice they did it.

Apply the third time.

If you gotta hit these
bureaucrats all over
their heads with these stuff.

[door bangs]

I forgot to mention this door?

Get out, or I'll scream.

Scream all you want.

I get no neighbors,
and the closest village
is 40 miles away.

[girl talking in Russian]

Hi, pumpkin.

What do you want from us?

I guess what everybody wants.

Little respect, little love.

Please, let's talk tomorrow.
Lana is tired.

Tell me something...

did you kidnap here?

Are you crazy?

Why would I kidnap
my own daughter?

Then why you are so desperate
to cross the border?

Who are you running from?
You running from your husband?

I just want to live in America.

It's the best country
in the world.

I hate when people lie,
and you are lying.

I don't lie.

Boo.

Why do you think I'm lying.

I can tell when women
are lying.

My wife, Teresa,
she was a liar.

She ended up running off
with a truck driver.

So who are you running from?

Who are you running from, Rita?

I don't have to
tell you anything.

Believe me, you do.

I had to run.

If I didn't, I would be dead.

Why is that?

-My husband.
-What?

My husband, he embezzled
money from a lot of people
in Moscow.

[banging]

[banging]

[people yelling]

[Rita] When they couldn't
find him, they threatened us.

They broke all the windows
in our apartment.

Lana got hurt.

[glass shattering]

When I went to Russian police,

they thought that I was
involved they started to
investigate me...

they search my apartment
more than once.

Lana started to have nightmare
every night.

I had a Mexican visa.

We were planning to go to
The Fairmont Acapulco, so...

here we are.

Wow.

I understand when the parent
worry about their child.

I have...

I have a friend who has a child.

She was taken away from him.

She was taken away from you?

No, no, my friend.

What happened?

What happened?

His wife kidnapped her,
that's what happened.

He did everything he could.

He and the police looked for
his daughter for three years.

Never found her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry if I came off
too strong earlier.

I was just...

when I saw your daughter...

I didn't want anything
to happen to her.

I was thinking she needs
better protection.

If you don't care, I don't care.

So, have you got the money?

-I told you I did.
-Show it to me.

I'll show it to you, if you
leave us alone and
get us some sleep.

Fine.

Are you happy?

Hey, Rita,
why did you clock the door?

Here, give this to Lena.

[car beeping]

-May I see your paper, sir?
-Sure.

What's the purpose of this trip?

Business, a pleasure.

-Uh... tile.
-What?

Tile, I need to buy tile
for the kitchen with "coyotes".

Coyote, coyote.

-Coyotes.
-Coyotes, yes. Yes.

You're looking for coyotes?

Go to the corner of Las Vacious
and Orlando, and ask for Lopez.

Okay, is it cheap?

Cheap and good,
best tile in Tijuana.

Okay, to be honest, if it wasn't
you, I was just heading to
the Lopez place.

Oh, you're good to go then.

Let him through.

Thank you.

I'm sorry,
are you Fernando Lopez?

-Si.
-Yeah.

What can I help you with?

You see, I need this tile.

Five hundred with coyote.

I don't have so many,
if you have patience
and wait a little...

but, how long do I have to wait?

A day, two?

Tomorrow, I will have the rest.

Maybe.

It's the coyote,
I'm not so sure about.

Coyote.

I don't understand.

See, somebody told me you need
to have a lot of coyote to get
you to the States.

You are Russian, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Yesterday, there's one coyote,
he got this Russian lady and
her kid across the border...

no problem.

Oh, I get it.

Coyote is the guy who helps
people get visas, right?

OK, and they can go to
the United States.

Uh... and you are a coyote.

Oh, no, sir, Larry,
he's the coyote.

He can help you
with your visa problems.

How much does it cost?

Depends, you have to
talk to him about that.

Where is he?

I'll give you address of
his ranch, he only lives
40 miles away from here.

Hmm.

[car beeping]

Hey.

Hello.

Hey, help us.

Please, help us.

Don't shoot.

Fernando sent me.

Who are you?

My name is Somov.

Are you coyote?

What do you want?

Fernando told me
that you can help.

Fernando told you that, huh?

Yes.

You wanna talk, get in the car.

Now, I'm gonna ask you this
just once.

Who are you?
Why do you want to
cross the border?

I see you've got California
plates, what's that about?

I'm looking American visa for
my kids, they're in Russia.

Huh-huh.

They haven't
been able to get any.

So you're Russian.

Yeah.

Look, I don't do visas.
I just help people
cross the border.

Sometimes in a trunk.

-Follow me?
-Yeah, I understand.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake.

Then get the hell out of here
and stop wasting my time.

Hey, what's up?
What's all the screaming about?

I don't want to be locked up
and sit in the room all day.

I didn't lock you, you have to
lock yourself in, remember?

-Time to go.
-I don't want to go with you.

I will go back
to the town by myself.

Forty miles in a desert on foot?

I'll manage.

You might, but she won't.

It's none of
your business, okay?

If you won't let us go,
I'll call the police.

The police? I think you forget
you're in this country illegally
but if it makes you feel better.

Give them a call.

GO ahead, call them.

But I have a visa, okay?

You had a visa.

Fernando said it was expired
a long time ago.

Let's go.

But I was looking for my husband
by the way. I have a reason.

That changes everything.
I'm sure the Mexican police
will be quite understanding.

You're not going to kill us,
are you?

No, I'm not.

I'm just gonna get you
cross the border.

End of story.

Lena, Lena.

-Promise me something.
-What?

-Don't turn her against me.
-What are you talking about?

Juan promise me.

-Okay, I promise.
-Alrighty, then.

Let's go.

Going on a trip.

Such a big girl.

Here we go.

Mom, hop in.

Lena.

Larry, I forgot to ask you...

how much do you charge?

We'll talk when I get back.

[girl talking]

[Larry] Okay, we gotta go.

Bye.

Damn Russian.

What were you talking about?

I didn't say anything.

What did he say?

He said that he's going to
rescue us, he's an
undercover cop.

Is that so?

What are you doing?

I'm just clearing our way.

He didn't say that, he just
asked what city I was from.

I told you I can tell when
people are lying, and you
are lying.

I hate when people lie.

I just hate it.

Here we go.

Damn Russian.

No, Victor, he doesn't actually
work for us.

So...
right, I understand.

I'll see what I can do.

Sure.

Just how I want to
pend my day off.

[phone rings]

Hello.

Listen, I just got a disturbing
call from Victor, remember
in Russian roulette?

He hasn't heard from Somov.
Have you?

No, last time I talked to him...
actually I tried to get a hold
of him, his service was out.

You have any ideas?

I've got some bodies down at
the border patrol, maybe they
can talk to some people there.

Sounds like a good idea.

You had dinner yet?

No, I'm starving, I was just
about to grab a bite.

Where?

I'm over the Farmer's Market
over northwest parking lot.

Turn around.

No, turn all the way around.

Look over here.

Who're you talking to?

[Roy chuckles]

Your evil twin.
Get in the car.

[bangs]

I'd like to advise you to
double check your incoming mail.

Tighten your security...

until we have
this suspect arrested.

Mr. March, of course, we will
follow your advice...

but what makes you think that
the storage of pharmaceuticals
will be the next target.

-Did you receive a tip?
-I was given a sign.

A sign? You mean, like a sign
from God?

You can think like that
if you want to.

I did not get a phone call
from Heaven.

I did not, but in my work,
I researched and my guys
gave this newspaper article.

And this placed of you
is on the list, Coral.

and Mr. Bromma's
acts of terrorism.

Stanley, contact the mail room
immediately.

Absorb and digest what I've told
you, because it's the truth...

and call me when you get
needed information.

Get my car...

we need to work on this now.

And tell the people in the mail
room to look through everything.

Yes, sir.

No, not even post cards.

I'm telling you the mail room
is completely shut down.

I can see that they're getting
paranoid after what happened
in Coral.

Yeah, Bill sent me a box of
chocolate, do you think it'll
be okay after they scanned it.

-I think chocolates are okay.
-Yeah, okay.

Yeah, good.

-Oh, let me give you this.
-Thanks.

I see it like this.

little girl crying...

her mother's in the corner,
not paying attention...

depression, it's a suicidal
moment.

And then all of a sudden, those
golden letters appear on the
bottom of the screen, Polarium .

Mother and daughter smile
and they hug each other.

And then the headline:Polarium, from suicide
to "Suealive" .

Helen, what do you think?

Yes, Mr. Storgeous.

You got me a new pen set?

I don't know what you're
talking about, sir.

Right there, that's the new set.

[Helen] Maybe someone sent it
for your birthday.

I've never seen
this pen set before, sir.

Oh.

No, wait.

-Well.
-No.

It's actually beautiful.
If you don't like it,
I can remove it.

No, no.

I'm just a little paranoid,
that's all.

Okay, I understand, sir.

Here are the documents.

Sure.

-Sir.
-Yeah, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Oh, Helen, hang on a sec,
I want you to type out
my idea. Just wait a minute.

[explosion]

I knew it.

How many casualties?

How many casualties.

Five dead, a dozen wounded.

Trying not to get
too worked up, Captain.

If you don't arrest
this bastard today...

you're gonna live on the street
for the rest of your life.

What did you bring me here for?

Why did you bring me to
the fucking hospital?

What am I doing with these?

[bangs]

This is all we can dig up in the
archives on Elise McClosky.

-Thanks, Clayton.
-Hmm hmm.

-Good job.
-Thank you.

You want to send Miller
here on your way out?

Sure.

How's March?

He almost had a heart attack
spending most of his day
yelling at the hospital staff.

Well, at least it's gonna
be quieter around here for a
change.

What planet are you from?

You tracked down
the father's address?

Yeah, corner of
Central and Third, but hasn't
been around for weeks.

Neighbors said he had a ranch
down at Tijuana.

Anything else?

A couple of disturb reports
by McCrosky's neighbors.

I guess since his daughter was
taken, he's taken it
pretty hard.

Started off quite nasty and went
completely out of control.

He started to fire his gun off
his balcony in the
middle of the night.

They put him on anti-depressant.

-Happy pills.
-Hmm, but there was a kicker.

Guess who makes Gleemnocs?

-Ralco.
-Bingo.

But since the surveillance is on
this guy, I want him the minute
he gets back.

Bring him in and find out
what he knows.

You really think he's our man?

It's a little early to tell,
but it all adds up.

Missing daughter, the Ralco
connection, god knows what
the drug did to him.

And then there's Bromma.

You often pay back for the guy
who stole your wife, huh?

Contact the police in Tijuana,
see if he's got anything on him.

You think the Mexican police
will be willing to cooperate?

-It can't hurt to try.
-Okay.

You heard anything from Somov?

No, I called the cell phone, but
there's a message on it saying
the service's got canceled.

Poor guy's having a hard time to
say no, the restaurant job is
just a part time job.

At least he gets caviar and
champagne on his lunch break.

Isn't there
something you can do?

We'll call up the Russian mafia
and see what they can do.

-I was being serious.
-Yeah, I know.

He needs a break.

Well, folks, this is it.
Almost America.

Hey, let me carry her.

No, I don't want
you to touch her.

Hey, Lena, look.

See this? Watch.

[Burp]

[sigh]

[gasp]

Pretty good, huh?

Baa!

Let's go.

Okay, we're still in Mexico.

For about 25 file yards out
is the neutral zone, and outside
that, we are in America.

We get warmer and warmer.

There should be a car waiting
for us on the other side of
that hill.

I think Lena is sick.

Come here.

How are you doing?

She does have a high fever.

I told you, you should have left
her with me at the ranch.

Stop it,
I don't want to listen to you.

You not listening made
her sick.

I said enough, alright?

Alright.

Here we go.

Rita, step only on the grass
patches, that way they won't see
our track.

This is the neutral zone.

Twenty-five yards, and we're
in America.

We're almost in America.

Here we go, ready?

Here we go.

Let's go.

Okay, take her. Take her.

-What's up?
-Walk ahead, I have to go back.

I have to cover
the track you left.

Just straight ahead, but only
walk on the patches of grass.

Okay, give her to me.

I think she's getting worse.

This is a good rest spot.

So where's the car?

It's supposed to be right over
there near the tree.

What happened?

Are we late?

No.

So where is the car?

Maybe you told them the wrong
place to meet us.

No.

Something might've
happened to Max.

So what do we do now?

Walk?

Twenty miles in the desert?

Your daughter will
never make it.

Okay, then I'll walk her myself,
and you call yourself a coyote?

What are you charging for?

If you go alone, you'll
definitely got caught.

How will they stop me,
we've already
crosses the border.

You don't think they'll ask for
documents, a women and child
walking on foot on the border.

So what do you suggest?

I suggest we stick to the plan,
we wait for Max.

What if he doesn't show up.

What if he got caught?

Well, then we'll have to go
back to the ranch.

Oh no, no.

I'm not going back there.

I would rather stay here.

Alright, if we get caught, I'll
say Lena is my child, I'm an
American citizen...

at least we'll have a chance.

Great plan.

I go to jail,
and Lena stays with you, yeah?

Okay, we'll
stick with your plan.

You go to jail, Lena will stay
with complete strangers...

at least you know me, lady.

I'd prefer her to stay with
strangers than be brought up
with a psycho like you.

I'm tired arguing with you.

Lena, you want some water?

Yes.

[blows]

Here we go.

[blows]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Where can I find gasoline?

No gasoline.

-Over there?
-Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

-It's hot.
-Yeah, okay.

Something must have happened
to Max? He would've been here
by now.

We gotta go back.

I'm not going anywhere,
they will understand if I
explain what happened.

You don't get it, do you?
You are a criminal, you cross
the border illegally.

You know what that spells?
Jail.

We gotta go, the boarder petrol
will be around in
about 15 minutes.

I'm not going anywhere.

[revving]

No, run!
Come on, hand me the kid.

Stay where you are.

Take her, take her.

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

[police car sirens]

Your sweet life is over, coyote!

Do you hear me?

Over.

When we find him...

[bangs]

I'm going to put her to bed.

Why don't you guys
sleep in my bed tonight?

I'll be in the barn
if you need me.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

[door creaks]

[coughs]

Larry, I want to talk to you.

How's she doing?
Is she asleep?

Yeah, yes, she is.

What's up?

I feel awful.

I think I made a horrible
mistake, I did not know it
turned out like that.

I don't want to go to
America anymore, I just
want to go back home.

Wow, I thought you said
it wasn't safe.

Yeah, I know.

I know, but I've got a family
back over there.

I shouldn't have come here,
I didn't even come close to
find my husband.

I thought I could make it
by my own, start fresh in
America, but...

all of that is about fate.

You can't change fate.

I'm so tired of all of that.

I guess I just want you to
take us back to the airport.

Certainly,
let me call you a limo.

Honey, it's the middle
of the night.

It's crazy to run away,
but I want to go home, please.

You know, I hate this shit.

What?

Well, the way some women just
act all whim when things don't
turn out just the way they want.

You guys blame it on fate.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the fact that
you don't take responsibility
when things turn out bad.

This isn't fate.

This is bullshit.

If this is fate, why involve
your kid, why chase after your
husband?

Your kid's got nothing to do
with that, your kid's sick,
she's running a fever...

you want to take
her to an airport.
What's wrong with you?

You have a child, don't you?

I had a child, Liz.

I lost her, when she was
three years old.

My wife's fate, Bromma,
she put that child through hell.

He made her smoke, fed her beer,
and those are the sweet tender
moments.

I'm so sorry.

My wife found a boyfriend,
but she lost our child.

When I think my daughter's fate,
I want to take those people
responsible...

and blow their brains out.

I know they think they'll never
see me again, but believe me,
they're wrong.

They are so wrong.

Don't.

I just want to check on Lena.

No, it's not good, listen.

-I didn't want to...
-Shut up.

You're not going anywhere.

Give me your hand.

Larry, I swear.

I won't say to anybody.

Please don't touch her.

Please don't touch her.

What's wrong with you?
I'm not gonna hurt Lena.

Just gonna go get some medicine.

Now, just in case.

You can trust me.

Even if I can't trust you.

[Somov talking]

I'm pretty sure this is coyote.

I recognize his truck.

-For you? How old?
-She's six.

Let her drink in the morning
and then in the evening.

Give her this one, and let her
chew all day long, this one.

Okay.

How old is your daughter?

[Larry] Six.

How can I tell you?
I was a detective in Moscow.

Never a dull moment.

Something was happening
all the time.

[Somov] Even the day before
coming to the States.

I ended up catching
one of Russia's most
wanted criminals.

[police car sirens]

He shot me on the shoulder.

But I just kept chasing him
all the way to the roof.

There we were, both dangling
from the roof...

with no idea who would be
the first to take the fall.

[man screaming]

Yeah, I sure had some
interesting times.

My son was always worried.

[speaking Russian]

You know, since I was a kid,
I fantasized about
coming to America.

Always thought I would be
a big success.

And look, what happened here.

I ended up working in
a Russian restaurant.

Hello, little princess.

Time to take your medicine.

Mama? Mom is asleep?

Here, this'll make you
feel better.

Here you go.

Do you like her?

This is Rainbow Bright,
she has magical powers.

See, watch.

Give me a kiss.

Kiss you. Watch this.

Give me a kiss.

I gave her some medicine.

I think it'll help.

Let's go, she's asking for you.

[Rita groans]

Sorry. It's gonna hurt.

[Rita screams]

Sorry, babe, here we go.

You think that just because your
brother works at customs...

we're not gonna touch you...

you better think again.

It's time for you to pay.

Trust me, you don't want to
know what happens to you
if you don't.

[speaking Spanish]

I have no money,
business is down.

Oh, business is down, you say?

What about your other business?

Ah?

I don't know what you are
talking about?

[laughing]

[beating and screaming]

What do you think?
I'm stupid?

You're the [illegible],
because I know everything about
your other business with coyote.

I tell you this, your friend,
he's going to go down.

The question is, are you willing
to go down with him?

Huh? I got a phone call from
the LAPD, they too want him.

But before I turn him to
the damn gringos,
I want my piece.

I only one, you better tell me.

I really don't know what you
are talking about.

Okay, okay, okay.

You know Juan, don't you?

-Si.
-Okay.

He told me that you work for
a gringo coyote.

And you know where he lives.

He is a liar.

He may be a liar,
but he's not stupid.

Are you?
I'm counting to three.

Okay, okay, okay!

I'll tell you where he lives,
I better take you there.

[screams]

You're very smart after all,
you know, come on.

Well, the smart thing to do
is leave Lena here with me.

When this thing blows over,
I'll let you guys back together.

-What're you talking about?
-I've got a house, you don't.

I've got the money, you don't.

Your life is in danger,
mine isn't.

You don't get it, you're
a complete stranger to her.

She used to me.
Right?

She's my daughter and I'm
not going to give her up,
you understand?

I understand.

[Lena talking]

What did she say?

She says that she wants to
feed the doll.

Well, the doll is
probably hungry.

How about Larry makes her
something to eat, huh?

Come on, mom.
I'll make us dinner.

Come on.

[Larry] For you.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

What are you talking about?

She doesn't speak any English,
and I was explaining to her
why we should stay with you.

You know what, doesn't sound
like you were explaining what
she's saying.

You don't speak any Russian,
why do you know?

I don't have to speak Russian,
I just have to look at her face.

Kids don't lie.

Are you looking for me?

Drop the gun if you don't
want to lose your daughter.

Drop the gun.

[gun shoots]

What are you trying to do?

I've got the keys.

-Get out of the car.
-No!

Look, it doesn't have to end
like this.

I meant what I said,
I'm over to help you.

Open the door.

I don't want your help.
I just want to go home.

But you can't.
I've got the gun.

And if you don't open the door,
I'm gonna start shooting.

[gun shoots]

Please, don't shoot,
the child is there.

This man is not a killer.

I'm Russian policeman.

Great, first I got the LAPD give
me orders, and now I gotta
listen to a damn Russian police.

What's going on today?
Why is everyone trying to
boss me around?

-What happened to you?
-Don't worry about me.

It's okay.
It's okay.

It's okay, don't be unhappy.

Rita, come here.

[Larry] I have lots of money.

Don't talk.
Don't talk.

Shh.

I'm saving it for my daughter,
but...

In the barn, go through the door
two steps, take a left,
two more steps...

on the floor bottom,
a lot of money.

I need... I need help.

[March] Somov.

Yeah?

Remember, we met in the park.

I remember you.

But how do you know my name?

From Sommers and Macmillan.

I'm their boss.

Oh, so you're March.

-Yes.
-I heard a lot about you.

And I'm a complete nut-job.

I heard a lot of good things.

Yeah, did they tell you
we found Bromma?

Bromma? They guy who was
blowing up the pharmaceutical
companies?

No, they didn't have a chance.

So who found him.

-The nut-job.
-Really?

Moi.

How?

The guy's name
is Miguel Sanchez.

He's a brilliant biochemist,
and he created what he thought
was a breakthrough drug.

But it got rejected by all
the major companies.

And I had a feeling.

I saw

Sanchez was rejected by both.

How about Bromma?

You mean Bromma.

It turns out Miguel Sanchez has
a twisted sense of humor...

Bromma means joke
in Spanish.

So Summers was just wasting
his time looking for Bromma?

It was one of our leads.

This one turned out to be
a dead end.

It happens.

By the way, this is for you.

The Certificate of Honor.

I want to give it to you myself.

Why are you doing this?

Because they told me all
about the Russian roulette.

And I've never been invited.

[both laughing]

Pal, consider it
as an invitation.

And consider it
as an acceptance.

It's good to see you.
You feeling better?

-Yeah.
-OK, I'll check with you later.

Congratulations.

Andrea, March told us he
wants to use you more often.

I think he likes you.

-Really?
-How is your shoulder?

It's okay.

Strange thing, I keep having...

first, this was dislocated,
now it gets shot.

I'm ready to take a new model.

I'll introduce you
to a doctor right now.

You'll like him.
He's Russian.

March told me that he found
the bomber.

Yeah, Bromma the joker.

It seems to me that the joke
is on Larry, they put him
in jail for nothing.

What do you mean nothing?

He was running people
across the border.

He held you all the gun point.

What about Rita and Lena?

They went back to Russia.

Hi, Somov, how are you doing?
I just talked to the doctor,
he said you'll be alright.

How's Marvo, he's doing great,
just like being married again.

I sleep on my side of the bed,
growls when I go to grab a beer,
nags when I come home late.

-What are those for?
-For a toast.

I know it's against
hospital regulations, but...

-We're officially off duty.
-Yes.

What kind of toast?

It's a small one, but you're
gonna like it.

-Really?
-Yes, believe me.

If I get any on bed,
you'll such on the sheets.

Alright, fellow,
to your granddaughter.

What?

Yeah, your son called.
His wife has a little girl,
2.2 kilos.

[Roy] What's the matter,
Somov? Isn't 2.2 kilos good?

It's perfect, Roy.

It's absolutely perfect.

[laughs] Mazel tov!

Cheer! [in Russia]

Sounds like Russian.

That a boy. Take some pain away.

Not bad.

It's fun with the pills too.

This is nice, thank you.

-You've got a minute?
-Sure.

Okay, go ahead.

He's funny, isn't he?

I see in visions and in pictures
and I saw you in the police.

I've never been there, sir.

Well, I saw you,
I saw how you train.

I saw you get a diploma.

I saw you get your badge,
and I saw you get your gun.

-Really?
-Really.

Well, I think it's
a little too late for me.

Too late for what? To learn?

When does this training start?

It just started.

Welcome to where you belong.

Go get your locker.
