Dark Blue (2009–2010): Season 2, Episode 5 - Brother's Keeper - full transcript

Alex: NO, I GET IT --
I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS

THAT THESE ANTI-GOVERNMENT
EXTREMIST GROUPS

ARE A HUGE PROBLEM.

YEAH.

ERIKSON'S BEEN A BOMB WAITING
TO GO OFF, EVEN BEFORE ARROYO.

ATF. They're worried
about Kyle Erikson.

MAYBE THAT'S GOT
SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FACT

THAT HE SHOT ONE OF THEIR AGENTS
AND GOT AWAY WITH IT.

WHAT'S UP?

OH. YOU, UH...

LEFT THIS ON THE NIGHTSTAND
LAST NIGHT.



Thank you.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S NECESSARY, LISA.

ALL OF OUR INTEL SAYS
THAT HE'S HERE IN L.A.

AND WE'VE GOT AN UNDERCOVER
IN RIGHT NOW

WITH AN ACCOMPLICE OF ERIKSON'S
NAMED KENNETH COBB.

YOU'RE THE FIRST
TO KNOW.

"JOINT TASK FORCE
EVALUATION"?

SOME OF US
ACTUALLY DO PAPERWORK.

DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE SPYING ON US.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR, CARTER.
IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US.

I GET EVALUATED
BY MY BOSS.

AND I GET EVALUATED
BY MINE --

YOU.

YOU REALLY CARE WHAT IT SAYS
ABOUT YOU IN A REPORT?



NO.
AND LESS THAN NO.

YOU?

YOU MEAN, DO I EVER WANT TO MAKE
MORE THAN $60,000 A YEAR

AND STOP LIVING
OUT OF A SUITCASE?

YES.

YOU MAKE THAT MUCH?

AGENT RICE.

WHAT?!

WE'RE ON THE WAY.

APPARENTLY,
THERE'S A COUPLE OF SHERIFFS

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
WHERE DEAN IS.

CAN YOU
PULL THE SHERIFFS OFF?
ALREADY AT THE DOOR.

Cop: SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT!
OPEN THE DOOR!

WHOO!

BROTHER, IT IS ON!

THINK ABOUT THIS, KENNY, OKAY?
HOLD ON.

THEY GOT NO RIGHT
TO BE HERE, MAN.

THIS IS
PRIVATE PROPERTY!

YOU STOLE A CAR, AND IT'S PARKED
IN YOUR DRIVEWAY.

IT'S NOT AN INVITATION,
BUT COME ON, KENNY.

NO, MAN.
THIS IS JUST PRETENSE.

THIS IS HOW THEY DO IT.

LITTLE BY LITTLE, THEY'RE TAKING
OUR COUNTRY AWAY FROM US.

OPEN UP!
OPEN THE DOOR! NOW!

WILL YOU --
WILL YOU TURN THE MUSIC DOWN

AND TALK TO ME, KENNY,
PLEASE?

OR AT LEAST
TAKE IT OFF REPEAT.

WHAT ARE YOU --
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, KENNY?

COME ON.
EXERCISING MY RIGHTS
AS A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN.

SHE'S BEEN ITCHING
FOR THIS.

A LITTLE SOMETHING
FOR YOU, TOO, BABY.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
COBB, LOOK.

I DID NOT HOOK UP WITH YOU
TO KILL COPS, OKAY?

THE ONLY REASON I'M HERE

IS 'CAUSE YOU SAID YOU WERE IN
WITH KYLE ERIKSON.

SCREW ERIKSON!

WE'RE ON THE FRONT LINES
NOW, DAWG!

SO WHAT, KENNY, WE'RE NOT
JOINING UP WITH THEM, HUH?

IS THAT WHAT
YOU'RE TELLING ME?

WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP
ASKING ME ABOUT ERIKSON?

W WHY?
'CAUSE HE'S A LEGEND.

COME ON, MAN.
YOU HEARD ABOUT ARROYO.

ATF BUSTS HIS COMPOUND.
ONE OF THEM GETS HIT.

Cop: SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT!
OPEN THE DOOR!

BIG DEAL! ERIKSON PROBABLY
DIDN'T EVEN PULL THE TRIGGER!

SO, YOU LIED.

YOU DON'T EVEN WORK
WITH ERIKSON.

DON'T SWEAT IT, BRO.

WE'RE ABOUT TO BE
WAY BIGGER THAN ERIKSON.

OR DO I HAVE TO DO YOU
BEFORE THESE PIGS?

NO. LET'S DO IT.

LET'S DO IT!

HERE WE GO.
ON THREE. READY?
YEAH!

ONE...TWO...

OH, UH, KENNY,
ONE THING.

I'M A COP.

WHERE'S TY?

GETTING HIS BEAUTY SLEEP.

CAREFUL, DEAN.

ALEX MIGHT PUT THAT
IN HER EVALUATION REPORT.

IT'S JUST
A ROUTINE REPORT.

OKAY. WELL, DON'T FORGET
OUR EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE

AND A LIBERAL INTERPRETATION
OF THE MIRANDA RIGHTS.

GOT ANYTHING NEW
FROM COBB?

NO. WE PUT HIM UNDER THE LAMP,
BUT HE GAVE US NOTHING NEW.

I THOUGHT HE WAS PART OF
KYLE ERIKSON'S EXTREMIST GROUP.

LIBERTY SONS?
NO. THEY HAD A FALLING-OUT.

AND ACCORDING TO COBB,

ERIKSON THINKS OF HIMSELF
AS A KIND OF MESSIAH.

WANTS TO BE A ROCK STAR.

SEEN HIS FAN
GUY'S GOT GROUPIES.

Jaimie:
HE'S A GOOD-LOOKING GUY.

BAD GUYS
CAN BE GOOD-LOOKING.

DID COBB
GIVE UP ANYONE ELSE

WHO MIGHT BE IN CONTACT
WITH ERIKSON?

I MEAN, SOMEONE'S
HELPING HIM HIDE OUT.

THE ONLY THING COBB HATES WORSE
THAN ERIKSON IS POLICE.

EVEN IF HE KNEW SOMETHING,
HE WOULDN'T TELL US.

SO WE'RE NOWHERE.
I GOT SOMEONE.

NEAL ERIKSON --

KYLE'S YOUNGER BROTHER.

THE TWO SEEM CLOSE --

FIRST BOUNCING
AROUND FOSTER HOMES,

THEN PARTNERS IN CRIME.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS GUY BEFORE.
HE'S IN JAIL.

15 YEARS, ARMED ROBBERY.

ATF ALREADY QUESTIONED HIM
IN PRISON.

THERE'S NO WAY HE'S GONNA FLIP
ON HIS BROTHER.

WE DON'T FLIP HIM.

WE USE HIM TO LEAD US
TO HIS BROTHER.

AND HOW THE HELL
ARE WE GONNA DO THAT?

WE BREAK HIM OUT OF JAIL.

REALLY?
GOOD MORNING.

YEAH.
TOUGH NIGHT?

YOU MISSED
THE MEETING.

I DID?
MM-HMM.

I WAS WORKING LATE.

ON THE ERIKSON CASE?

UH...NO, ACTUALLY.

ALEX HAD ME WORKING SURVEIL
ON SOMEONE OUT IN COMPTON,

A FED THING.

WOW, MAN.

THIS LASAGNA AND VEGGIES IS
A HELL OF A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT.

GUESS YOU'VE BEEN BURNING
AT BOTH ENDS

SINCE YOU AND MELISSA SPLIT,
HUH?

NO, NOT REALLY.

WHAT DID I MISS?

CARTER HAS A PLAN
TO CATCH ERIKSON,

BUT IT NEEDS
A LOT OF PREP.

LET ME JUMP
IN THE SHOWER.

WOULD IT KILL YOU
TO USE A GLASS?

NEAL ERIKSON --
TRANSFER TO L.A. CORRECTIONAL.

COPY THAT.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

GOT ANOTHER TRANSFER.

ACTUALLY, I ONLY GOT
AN ORDER FOR TWO, SIR.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO THIS
MORNING, BUT HIS TUMMY HURT.

IT'S AN INTESTINAL DISORDER --
POSSIBLY AN ULCER,

WHICH, BY THE WAY, IF IGNORED,
IS AN ACTIONABLE OFFENSE.

HE'S ALL YOURS.

YOU'RE KYLE ERIKSON'S BROTHER,
AREN'T YOU?

WHAT'S IT TO YOU, MAN?

NOTHING.

JUST HEAR THE DUDES IN THE YARD
TALKING ABOUT HIM

LIKE HE'S SOME KIND OF HERO,
SO...

YOUR BROTHER'S
THAT MILITIA GUY?

I SAW HIM ON "AMERICA'S
MOST WANTED ASSHOLES," RIGHT?

I CAN'T GET YOU AN AUTOGRAPH,
IF THAT'S WHERE THIS IS HEADED.

RAY BLAKE.

PINE. CARTER PINE.

PRISON DOC SAYS
I NEED SURGERY.

LIKE I'D LET THOSE HACKS
CUT ME OPEN.

THE ONLY PRISON DOCS WORTH ANY
DAMN GOOD ARE AT SAN QUENTIN.

THAT'S WHERE I'M HEADED.
THAT RIGHT?

FIRST THING YOU GOT TO
CHECK OUT IN THE JOINT --

MEDICAL FACILITIES,
HONESTLY.

YOU TALK A LOT, RAY.

YEAH, IT'S A NERVOUS TIC.
NO BIG DEAL.

Alex:
THEY SHOULD BE CLOSE.

Jaimie: OH.

SO, WHAT'S THIS
EVALUATION REPORT ALL ABOUT?

ARE WE BEING JUDGED?

NO.

YES.

BUT DON'T WORRY --
I THINK YOU DO A GREAT JOB,

AND I KNOW
IT'S NOT EASY.

THANKS, SISTER.

I'M SERIOUS.

KEEP IT UP, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
AN AMAZING CAREER.

TY AND CARTER COMING
YOUR WAY, DEAN.

DON'T MOVE.

DON'T MOVE.

GIVE ME THE GUN NOW.
I KNOW YOU GOT IT ON YOU.

GIVE ME THE GUN.
LET'S GO!

ALL RIGHT, KEYS --
LET'S GO.

LET'S GO!

GET OUT -- NOW!
LET'S GO!

GET OUT.

SHUT THE DOOR.
SHUT IT!

HOW YOU DOING, BROTHER?

THAT'S YOUR BROTHER?

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT GUARD.

500 BUCKS AND A LAP DANCE
FROM IRENE,

AND HE SANG
ABOUT THIS TRANSFER.

NICE WORK.
HERE YOU GO.

ALL RIGHT,
WHAT ABOUT THESE TWO?

KILL THEM?
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

ARE YOU SURE THAT'S WHAT
YOU WANT TO DO? 'CAUSE
THERE'S OTHER OPTIONS.

I THINK WHAT THE HUMAN CHIHUAHUA
IS TRYING TO SAY

IS THAT ADDING
TWO HOMICIDES

TO WHAT IS OTHERWISE
A CLEAN GETAWAY IS STUPID.

GROUND RULES --

YOU DO ANYTHING I DON'T LIKE,
I SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE.

ANYONE GOT A PROBLEM
WITH THAT?

YOU WAITING FOR A SHOW OF HANDS?
COME ON! LET'S GO!

GO, GO! LET'S GO!

GO!

THIS YOUR PLACE?
NAH, MY OLD LADY'S.

Alex: YOU GET THE HELL
OUT OF HERE!

BABY!

DON'T YOU "BABY" ME.

I DIDN'T THINK YOU TWO WERE DUMB
ENOUGH TO BREAK OUT OF JAIL.

WHAT, NO HELLO KISS?

SHUT UP.

YOU BRING TWO FELONS HERE
WITH YOU?

ARE YOU CRAZY?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

THEY'RE NEVER HAPPY TO
SEE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST
GET OUT OF THE JOINT.

WE JUST NEED A PLACE TO
LIE LOW TILL THE HEAT
DIES. THAT'S ALL.

COME ON, BABY.

YOU KNOW I CAN'T LIVE
WITHOUT YOU.

HMM?

COME ON.
COME TO DADDY.

WANT ME TO DO THAT THING
I DO TO YOU?

TWO DAYS.

AFTER THAT, I'LL CALL THE COPS
ON YOU MYSELF.

THIS REUNION IS TOUCHING,

BUT, UH, I'M OUT, FELLAS.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

NOBODY'S GOING ANYWHERE.

HEY, LISTEN. YOU TELL YOUR LADY
WHAT TO DO, OKAY?

NOT ME.

YOU GOT SOMEPLACE BETTER
TO GO?

YEAH.
A BEACH IN MEXICO.

AND HOW
YOU GONNA GET THERE?

OH,
I'M A RESOURCEFUL GUY.

YEAH. WELL, LET ME
PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY.

YOU GET CAUGHT,

YOU COULD THROW THE COPS
TO US.

AND I CAN'T HAVE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU.

YOU POINT THAT THING AT ME
AGAIN,

I'M GONNA SHOVE IT
SO FAR UP YOUR ASS.

DON'T BE STUPID.

YOU WANT TO STAY FREE,
WE NEED MONEY.

YEAH, AND CLOTHES.

CLOTHES, WE CAN GET.

AND MONEY?

BRO, YOU STILL GOT
THAT STASH?

YEAH. I'LL GET IT.
GOOD.

COME ON,
IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. YEAH.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
BYE.

MET A GIRL.

YEAH, I GUESS
YOU COULD SAY THAT.

WHERE?

FUNNY THING IS I MET HER
ON THE SURVEIL IN COMPTON.

DATING A MARK?

NO. BUT SHE HELPED
SELL THE COVER.

CARTER'S GOT THEM ALL
AT HIS HOUSE.

NOW, HOW IN THE HELL DID
RAY BLAKE END UP IN THE VAN?

NO CHOICE, ALEX.
THEY THREW THE DUDE IN.

WE'LL DEAL WITH HIM LATER.

Jaimie:
WHY DON'T WE LET NEAL GO?

TRAIL HIM WHILE HE
LOOKS UP HIS BROTHER?

AND WHAT IF HE DECIDES TO
RIP OFF A LIQUOR STORE
OR SHOOT A NUN?

GOOD POINT.

LOOK, I PROMISED THAT WE'D BE
IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF NEAL
WHILE WE HAD HIM OUT.

OKAY. SO HOW DO WE MOTIVATE HIM
TO FIND HIS BROTHER, HUH?

WHAT DO THESE EXTREMISTS
LIKE MORE THAN ANYTHING?

YOU THINK THEY COULD
HAVE FOUND ME SOMETHING
MORE CONSPICUOUS?

HONESTLY, THE DAMN THING'S
BRIGHT ENOUGH TO READ BY.

SHUT UP, RAY.

THESE ARE ALL CLEAN,
UNTRACEABLE.

THINK YOUR BROTHER
MIGHT BE IN THE MARKET?

WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED
IN MY BROTHER?

BECAUSE WE NEED MONEY,

AND YOUR BROTHER SOUNDS
LIKE SOMEONE WHO LIKES GUNS.

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO MY BROTHER
IN THREE YEARS.

THAT'S CALLED
"GOING TO PRISON."

AND EVEN IF I DID
KNOW WHERE HE IS,

WHY WOULD I PUT HIM
IN BUSINESS

WITH A BUNCH OF FUGITIVES
LIKE YOU?

WELL, WOULDN'T HE WANT TO
HELP OUT HIS LITTLE BROTHER?

HEY.

I DON'T NEED MY BROTHER
FIXING MY PROBLEMS, OKAY?

I MIGHT KNOW SOMEBODY.

YEAH.
GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

HE'S ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR GUNS.

SEE?
SOLVES THE WHOLE PROBLEM.

YEAH, WHAT'S HIS NAME?

BIG TOMMY.

"BIG TOMMY"?

OKAY. WHAT'S BIG TOMMY'S
LAST NAME?

W

YOU WANT US TO DO A DEAL
WITH YOUR GOOD FRIEND,

WHOSE LAST NAME
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW?

YEAH.
SHUT UP, RAY.
JUST SHUT UP.

GEEZ.
YEAH, SHUT UP, RAY.

Neal didn't go
for the guns.
What's the problem?

There might be a little less
brotherly love there
than I thought.

CAN I HELP YOU, RAY?

YEAH, MY STOMACH
IS KILLING ME.

DID YOU GET ANY
OF THAT PINK CRAP?
NO!

GEEZ. WHAT KIND OF HOUSE
IS THIS, ANYWAY?

HOW LONG
HAVE YOU LIVED HERE?

THERE'S NO MEDICINE,
NO PICTURES -- IT'S WEIRD.

WE'LL GET YOU SOMETHING
FOR YOUR STOMACH.

BUT FIRST...BIG TOMMY.

YOU REALLY TRUST HIM?

YEAH. WE'VE DONE
A LOT OF BUSINESS.

GIVE HIM A CALL.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GET BT's ASS
ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW.

What are you doing?

Stopping Ray's
intestinal issues

from derailing
the whole investigation.

By making a deal
with his friend?

I think I have a way
of getting rid of Ray

and forcing Neal
to find his brother.

If he thinks we're really
on the run...

It's gonna be hard to keep
the whole ruse going out
in the real world.

It might be harder
stuck in this room.

I promised the brass
we'd be in complete control

of this situation
at all times.

See? That's why
I never make promises.

BIG TOMMY
IS ALL SYSTEMS GO.

THIS GUY GONNA SHOW
OR WHAT?

BIG TOMMY'S NOTHING
IF NOT RELIABLE.

TOP DOLLAR, RAY.

NO FRIEND DISCOUNTS,
NO SIDE DEALS.

THERE HE IS.

HEY, HEY. RELAX.

WE'RE NOT IN THE PRISON YARD
ANYMORE.

WE'RE BUSINESS PARTNERS NOW,
HUH?

RIGHT.
YEAH.

AND IF YOU COME BACK

WITH A DOLLAR LESS
THAN WE TALKED ABOUT,

I'M GONNA HAVE
MY BROTHER, DEAN,

RUN YOU OVER
IN THE PARKING LOT.

YOU SEEING THE BLONDE?

THE ONE WITH THE GLOCK?

LET'S GO.

L.A.P.D.! PUT YOUR HANDS
WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!
HEY! HEY! HEY!

PUT YOUR HANDS
WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!
OW! NO!

PSST! PSST!
GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO
GET OUT OF HERE.

THAT'S SWEET OF YOU, RAY.

OH.

OH, MY STOMACH HURTS.

TAKE IT EASY.

COME ON, TAKE IT EASY!

WE SET UP ONE DEAL,
AND THE COPS BUST US?

SCREW EASY!

THEY WERE AFTER BIG TOMMY.
IT WASN'T EVEN ABOUT US.

RAY STRIKE YOU
AS THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE?

H-HE'S PROBABLY TRADING UP
EVERYTHING HE KNOWS ABOUT US

RIGHT NOW
TO SAVE HIS OWN ASS.

YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S
GONNA BE PISSED, HUH?

YOU THINK?
Dean: ALL RIGHT.

SO, LOOK. WE L-- WE LAY LOW
UNTIL WE COME UP WITH A PLAN.

PLANS TAKE MONEY.

WHICH, THANKS TO RAY,
WE'RE STILL SHORT ON.

LOOK, BOYS.

I THINK IT'S TIME WE ENDED
OUR BRIEF,

BUT DEEPLY MEANINGFUL,
PARTNERSHIP.

GOOD LUCK, HUH?
WHAT? SUDDENLY YOU GOT
SOME PLACE TO GO?!

HEY, GET YOUR HANDS
OFF OF ME!

BACK OFF!
HEY, GET YOUR HANDS
OFF OF ME!

STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!
COME ON, MAN!

FROM WHAT I HEAR,

YOUR BROTHER'S PRETTY GOOD
AT HIDING OUT.

NOW, YOU CALL HIM AND TELL HIM
WE NEED A PLACE TO STAY.

WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

BECAUSE WE SAVED
YOUR ASS...TWICE,

AND YOU OWE US.

AND YOU KNOW
AS WELL AS I DO

YOUR BROTHER'S OUR BEST CHANCE
AT STAYING FREE.

HE'S NOT GONNA BE EASY
TO FIND, MAN.

THEN WE BETTER
GET STARTED.

IT'S GOOSE DOWN,
WATER-RESISTANT.

REAL SOFT --
GO AHEAD, GIVE IT A FEEL.

YOU EVER BEEN, UH,
BEACH CAMPING?

IT'S PRETTY ROMANTIC.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

WHAT'S UP, NEAL?
THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE CLINK.

YEAH, WELL,
GOOD BEHAVIOR, MAN.

UH-HUH.

WE NEED TO TALK.
IN PRIVATE.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GIVE
THAT THING A TEST

PHEW!

IF YOU BROKE OUT,
LEAVE NOW.

I DO NOT NEED THAT KIND OF HEAT,
MAN, SERIOUSLY.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR KYLE.

HAS HE COME
TO SEE YOU LATELY?

YEAH, I'VE --
I'VE SEEN HIM.

AND IF I SEE HIM AGAIN,
HE'S DEAD.

KYLE CAME IN HERE
LOOKING FOR SOME GUNS.

TOLD HIM, "SURE. WHY NOT?
JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, RIGHT?"

EXCEPT THIS TIME,

YOUR DOUCHEBAG BROTHER
DECIDED NOT TO PAY ME.

HE JACKED YOU?
YEAH.

TOLD ME TO CONSIDER IT
A DONATION FOR THE MOVEMENT.

I FRONTED FOR THE GUNS,
MAN.

HE PUT ME IN A REAL BAD
FINANCIAL SITUATION,

'CAUSE, SEE,
CONTRARY TO APPEARANCES,

GLENN'S BIG OUTDOORS --
NOT DOING SO GREAT.

DO YOU KNOW
WHERE HE IS?

NO.

AND I DON'T
WANT TO KNOW.

WELL, IF WE CAN FIND HIM,
WE CAN GET YOUR MONEY.

YOU DON'T GET IT,
DO YOU?

I DON'T WANT MY MONEY.

HE'S CHANGED, NEAL.
OKAY?

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THAT CRAZY SON OF A BITCH.

AND NOW THAT I KNOW
WHAT HE'S PLANNING...

NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

I THINK YOU GUYS
SHOULD LEAVE.

I GOT YOUR CALL.

DEAN'S COMING IN.

HE SAYS THEY HAVE SOMETHING
ON KYLE ERIKSON.

DID YOU HAVE TY DOING SOME SORT
OF SURVEILLANCE IN COMPTON?

I DID --
A FEW WEEKS AGO.

TURNED OUT
TO BE A DEAD END.

WHAT?

NOTHING.

MMM. HEY, DID YOU RUN
A BG ON OUR MAN?

YEAH. GLENN FISCHER.

HE'S BEEN PICKED UP
A COUPLE OF TIMES

FOR BUYING AND SELLING
ILLEGAL GUNS.

OKAY, WELL, GLENN FISCHER SAID
THAT ERIKSON CAME IN RECENTLY

TO BUY HARDWARE OFF HIM.

DID HE SAY FOR WHAT?

NO, WE DIDN'T GET
THAT FAR.

BUT HE DID SAY
IT WAS FOR SOMETHING BIG.

GOT TO GIVE ERIKSON
PROPS --

SHOOTS AN ATF AGENT
AND STILL WON'T LAY LOW?

GUY'S A PLAYER.

HAUL HIS ASS IN.
SEE IF HE REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WAIT A MINUTE, NOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

EVEN THOUGH GLENN
HATES ERIKSON,

HE'S STILL GOT THAT
"DON'T TREAD ON ME" ATTITUDE.

HE MAY NOT TALK,
EVEN IF WE ASK POLITELY.

WE STILL GOT THE SAME GUNS
AS BEFORE,

SO IF GLENN'S
STILL DEALING,

WE JUST SELL HIM A COUPLE,
POP HIM.

ALL RIGHT. TAKE A RUN
AT GLENN WITH JAIMIE.

HEY, DEAN.

HOW CLOSE IS NEAL
TO FINDING HIS BROTHER?

STILL WORKING ON IT.

CAN CARTER REALLY
KEEP THIS CONTAINED?

100%.

TY,
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE
FOR YOUR OWN STING.

HELLO.

WELCOME
TO GLENN'S BIG OUTDOORS.

WHAT CAN I DO YOU FOR?

AH...

I NEED HELP.

WELL, I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP
A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.

OH.

I NEED A GUN.

WHAT KIND OF GUN?

I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS MUGGED
A FEW MONTHS AGO.

THE GUY HAD A KNIFE,
SO IT SHOOK ME UP PRETTY BAD.

YEAH, I BET IT DID.
WERE YOU HURT?

NO,
BUT HE GOT MY MONEY.

THE TRUTH IS,
I DON'T LIKE GUNS,

BUT THE POLICE
WERE SO FREAKIN' USELESS.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

I THINK I GOT EXACTLY
WHAT YOU NEED.

RIGHT HERE.

SIMPLE.

RELIABLE.

YEAH.
WHOA.

WOW. IT'S HEAVY.

YOU'VE NEVER SHOT BEFORE.

I COULD SHOW YOU HOW.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

REALLY?

I-I MEAN...

COOL.

THERE'S ONE PROBLEM.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,
I GOT A COUPLE PETTY THEFTS,

AND THEY WERE BUMPED UP
INTO FELONIES.

IS THERE ANY WAY
AROUND THAT?

ANYTHING FOR YOU, DOLL.

THIS IS A GUN HERE

THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY
NEED TO BE REGISTERED.

WELL, HOW MUCH?

UH...MAKE ME AN OFFER.

OKAY.

CASH ONLY.

AW, YOU GOT TO BE
KIDDING ME.

SO, ALEX
IS GRILLING GLENN.

IT TURNS OUT HE HAS
THREE WEAPONS CHARGES,

SO IF HE KNOWS ANYTHING,
HE'S GONNA TALK.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO
PULL AN AUDIBLE.

I HAD NO CHOICE.
YOU WERE LATE.

I WAS
THREE MINUTES LATE.

A LOT CAN HAPPEN
IN THREE MINUTES.

OKAY.
I'M SORRY, JAIMIE.

YOU WORKING SURVEILLANCE AGAIN
LAST NIGHT?

WHY DO YOU SAY IT
LIKE THAT?

'CAUSE I TALKED TO ALEX.

THE SURVEILLANCE SHE ASKED YOU
TO DO WAS OVER TWO WEEKS AGO.

YOU CHECKING UP
ON ME NOW?

DON'T DEFLECT.
WHAT'S UP WITH THE GIRL?

SHE'S HAVING FUN, JAIMIE.
I'M HAVING FUN.

NO FOUL, NO HARM,
RIGHT?

WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR OWN
PERSONAL TIME IS YOUR BUSINESS.

JUST DON'T LET IT
SCREW UP MY JOB.

GOOD TIME FOR A DRINK?

IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME
FOR A DRINK IN THIS PLACE, MAN.

IS THAT NEAL?

FRANKIE.

I'M ASSUMING THIS VISIT
ISN'T SANCTIONED

BY THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.

NOPE.

THIS IS, UH...

WE DON'T NEED TO
USE NAMES.

THIS IS
A FRIEND OF MINE.

FRIENDS DRINK FREE HERE.

WHAT KIND OF BAR
YOU RUNNING HERE, FRANKIE?

IT'S MORE LIKE
A SOCIAL CLUB.

LISTEN,
YOU SEEN KYLE AROUND?

HAS HE COME BY FOR A DRINK,
MAYBE SOME RELIEF?

BABY,
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

SINCE YOUR BROTHER'S
HAD TO PAY FOR IT.

HE DID CALL, THOUGH,
LOOKING FOR SOME MONEY.

YOU GOT A PHONE NUMBER?

MIGHT NOT EVEN
BE GOOD ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW HOW CAUTIOUS
HE IS.

LET'S GO.

WHAT'S THE RUSH?

YOU BOYS
ARE WELCOME TO STAY.

EVERYTHING FREE
FOR FRIENDS?

JUST DRINKS.

AH. WE'RE A LITTLE LIGHT
ON CASH RIGHT NOW.

NEXT TIME.

HEY.

I'M GLAD YOU AND YOUR BROTHER
WORKED PAST ALL THAT CRAP.

I DIDN'T REALLY
HAVE A CHOICE, DID I?

WE SHOULD GO BACK TO THE HOTEL,
CALL YOUR BROTHER.

THIS IS ALL I GOT LEFT.

PUMP NUMBER THREE.

Cop: EXCUSE ME.

CAN I HELP YOU,
OFFICERS?

WE SAW YOU
ACROSS THE STREET.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
A BROKEN TAILLIGHT?

UH, I'LL GET THAT FIXED
RIGHT AWAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

CAN I SEE YOUR LICENSE
AND REGISTRATION?

LISTEN, I'M A COP.

LIEUTENANT CARTER SHAW.
L.A.P.D.

I'M IN THE MIDDLE
OF AN UNDERCOVER CASE.

I NEED YOU TO GET BACK IN YOUR
PATROL UNIT AND DRIVE AWAY.

YOU GOT TO DO
BETTER THAN THAT, BUDDY.

CALL IT IN NOW --
L.A.P.D. OR FBI.

ASK FOR AGENT ALEX RICE.

SO NOW YOU'RE A FED.

WHERE'S YOUR
JUNIOR G

LISTEN, DON'T RUIN YOUR CAREERS
OVER THIS, GUYS.

ALL RIGHT, SECRET AGENT MAN,
STEP BACK.

Neal: GET DOWN
ON THE GROUND, MAN.

GET HIS GUN.

LET'S GO.

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW,
BITCH?

I SAID, "LET'S GO."

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,
MAN?

YOU GONNA SHOOT ME
OVER THIS PIG?

KILL YOU OR GO DOWN
FOR KILLING A COP?

EASY CHOICE.

YEAH.

NICE!

HEY.

WHAT'S UP?

JUST CHECKING IN.

SEE IF YOU WERE
PLANNING ON

SHOOTING ANY OLD LADIES
OR PUPPIES

AFTER JACKING
THOSE TWO COPS.

YEAH.

WELL, YOU SEE,
THE THING ABOUT THAT WAS --

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW BIG OF A DEAL THAT WAS?

I HAD IT UNDER CONTROL,
ALEX.

YOU LET A CONVICTED FELON
PUT A GUN ON AN OFFICER.

WE GOT A PHONE NUMBER
FOR KYLE ERIKSON.

NEAL AND DEAN ARE
UPSTAIRS RIGHT NOW
WAITING FOR A CALLBACK.

WE'RE CLOSE TO GETTING ERIKSON.
COME ON. I GOT THIS.

I SHOULD PULL YOU FOR BEING
SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS.

WHY DON'T YOU PUT THAT
IN MY EVALUATION REPORT?

IT'S BEEN A WHOLE DAY.

YOUR BROTHER GONNA CALL
OR WHAT?

IF IT'S HIS NUMBER,
HE'LL CALL.

THAT BARTENDER
SAID SOMETHING

ABOUT YOU GETTING OVER
SOMETHING WITH KYLE.

WHAT'D SHE MEAN?

MAN, W-WHAT DID YOU DO,

WATCH SOME KIND OF SELF-HELP TV
WHILE I WAS TAKING A LEAK?

I JUST WANT TO KNOW
IF YOU CAN DELIVER ON THIS.

IF YOU CAN'T, THEN NO OFFENSE,
BUT YOU CAN GO TO HELL.

I WAS DOING TIME IN CHINO
FOR SOMETHING KYLE DID.

YOU TOOK THE RAP
FOR HIM?

YEAH.

HIM AND ONE OF HIS DUMB
MILITIA MEN, REESE,

KNOCKED OVER A JEWELRY STORE
IN PORTLAND.

THE FEDS CAUGHT UP
WITH REESE,

AND HE TOLD THEM IT WAS ME
HE HIT THAT STORE WITH,

NOT KYLE.

HE TOLD HIM TO SAY THAT?

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU GO ALONG
WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

'CAUSE HE'D DO THE SAME
FOR ME.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

HELLO?

YEAH.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME,
KYLE.

LONG TIME.

GOOD NEWS --
KYLE ERIKSON CALLED BACK.

HE AGREED TO HIDE US.
WHERE IS HE?

I DIDN'T SPEAK TO HIM DIRECTLY.
NEAL ARRANGED IT.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET HIM
DOWNTOWN AT MIDNIGHT.

GOOD. THAT'S WHEN
WE'LL TAKE HIM.

JAIMIE AND TY FIND OUT
WHAT ERIKSON'S BIG PLAN
IS FROM GLENN?

ALL GLENN SAID
IS THAT ERIKSON

WAS PLANNING ON
ASSASSINATING SOMEONE.

WE HAD TO CUT HIM LOOSE
AFTER THAT.
HE GIVE YOU A NAME?

NO, BUT HE DID SAY IT WAS GONNA
BE A POLITICAL STATEMENT.

WE'RE CHECKING TO SEE
IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT
ERIKSON HAS A GRUDGE WITH.

A POLITICAL STATEMENT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERSONAL.

JUST HAS TO BE BIG.

HE'LL BE LOOKING TO HIT SOMEONE
WHO WILL GET HIM SOME PRESS.

WE'LL BUST ERIKSON TONIGHT
AND FIND OUT WHO HE'S TARGETING.

OR...WE DON'T
TAKE HIM TONIGHT.

I COULD STAY UNDER AND FIND
OUT WHO HE'S TARGETING
FROM THE INSIDE.

NO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "NO"?
WHY THE HELL NOT?

THIS IS COMING
FROM MY BOSS.

I TOLD HIM WE DIDN'T HAVE AN
EXACT I.D. ON ERIKSON'S TARGET.

HE SAID IF WE HAVE A CHANCE
TO TAKE ERIKSON, WE TAKE HIM.

DEAL WITH THE ASSASSINATION
LATER.

BUSTING HIM DOESN'T MEAN
WE'LL STOP THE HIT.

I MEAN, ERIKSON MAY BE A
MEGALOMANIAC, BUT HE'S NOT DUMB.

HE'LL PROBABLY SEND ONE OF HIS
LITTLE DISCIPLES TO DO IT.

THAT'S YOUR OPINION.
I'M JUST DOING WHAT'S BEST
FOR THIS CASE.

GOOD.
THE CASE IS KYLE ERIKSON.

WE'RE TAKING HIM TONIGHT.

THERE THEY ARE.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE JUST SAID MEET HIM HERE,
MIDNIGHT.

WAIT.

THAT'S HIM.

DID YOU SEE THEM?

SEE WHO?

BACK THERE.

THE TRUCK.

I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

THEY'RE THERE.
TRUST ME.

OKAY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE LOADING
INTO ERIKSON'S VAN.

GET READY.

GET OUT OF THE VAN.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

IS THERE SOME KIND
OF ASSHOLE PILL THEY
GIVE YOU GUYS AT THE ACADEMY?

I GAVE YOU AND CARTER
EXACT ORDERS.

HE SNUCK A CELLPHONE IN.

HE'LL CALL AS SOON
AS HE FIGURES OUT WHO
ERIKSON'S TARGETING, OKAY?

WHAT IF ERIKSON FINDS
THE CELLPHONE ON HIM?

WHAT IF THEY DECIDE
THEY JUST DON'T WANT CARTER
AROUND ANYMORE

AND SHOOT HIM?!

HE'LL CALL.

GET WITH TY AND JAIMIE
AND CHECK OUT THE VAN.

SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING
YOU CAN GET OFF IT

ABOUT WHERE THEY
MIGHT HAVE TAKEN CARTER.

OKAY. YOU KNOW, HE'S JUST DOING
WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CASE.

I'M GETTING TIRED
OF HEARING THAT.

SLICK MOVE
WITH YOUR BROTHER --

SENDING HIM OUT
AS A DECOY.

ANY IDEA HOW
THEY WERE ON TO YOU?

I WAS ABOUT TO ASK YOU
THE SAME THING.

THAT'S LEN --
MAN OF FEW WORDS.

HE'S A GOOD SOLDIER.

NO IDEA
WHY THE COPS WERE THERE?

ALL I KNOW IS
THAT I BUSTED NEAL OUT,

AND I KEPT HIS ASS SAFE,

AND THEN I GAVE UP MY BROTHER
SO YOU COULD GET AWAY.

THAT'S WHAT I KNOW.

LEN...

...GET OUR GUEST
SOME COFFEE.

HUH? NEAL'S ALWAYS
STEPPING IN IT.

EVEN WHEN WE WERE KIDS,

NEEDED SOMEONE
TO SHOW HIM THE WAY.

IF I HADN'T HIRED A GIRL
TO BUST HIS CHERRY,

I THINK HE'D STILL BE
A VIRGIN.

AH.

THAT'S, UH, WENDY.
THAT'S GRACE.

COME ON, GIRLS.

SHOW MR. PINE
SOME HOSPITALITY.

IF I KNEW THIS IS WHAT
YOU MILITIA GUYS DID,

I WOULD HAVE JOINED UP
YEARS AGO.

MM-HMM.

WE HAVE RESTRICTIONS,
OF COURSE.

OF COURSE.

I THINK MY BROTHER
WOULD LIKE SOME COMPANY.

MMM.

ENJOY YOURSELF.

DID YOU MISS ME?
MM-HMM.

HMM?

ANYTHING OFF THE VAN?

Jaimie: NO.

LOOKS LIKE ERIKSON STOLE IT
OUT OF TARZANA YESTERDAY.

TY AND DEAN ARE TRYING
TO RUN IT DOWN, BUT...

CARTER?

SORRY. TELL HIM
I'LL CALL HIM BACK.

YOU'RE REALLY WORRIED.

ERIKSON'S A BIG CASE.

I MEAN ABOUT CARTER.

YEAH, WELL, AREN'T YOU?

MM-HMM.

TAKE IT EASY ON THE BEAR.

Kyle: I KNOW WE PLANNED THIS
FOR LATER,

BUT WHAT WITH MY BROTHER
SHOWING UP,

PEOPLE MIGHT BE
LOOKING FOR HIM.

DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER
WE'LL BE SAFE HERE.

IT'S OUR CHANCE
TO MAKE HISTORY.

ONE BULLET IN WASHBURN...

WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING.

BE ANOTHER SHOT
HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD.

THEY'LL WRITE POEMS
ABOUT IT.

I KNOW
I CAN COUNT ON YOU.

RICE.

It's Carter.
WHERE ARE YOU?

ERIKSON'S LOOKING TO KILL
SOMEONE NAMED WASHBURN.

Federal courthouse.

Look for, uh, prosecutors,
judges -- something like that.

OKAY, UH, THERE'S
A FEDERAL JUDGE NAMED WASHBURN.

Looks like
he ruled a big case

against some of these
militia types last year.

THAT'S GOT TO BE IT.
FIND HIM.

THIS IS OFFICER JAIMIE ALLEN
WITH THE L.A.P.D.

I NEED TO SPEAK
WITH JUDGE WASHBURN.

WHERE ARE YOU?

ERIKSON'S NOT MAKING
THE HIT HIMSELF.

HE SENT SOMEONE ELSE --
A KID, MAYBE 24,

THIN, BLACK HAIR,
CREW CUT.

WE'LL GET TO WASHBURN,
CARTER.

ALEX,
HE ALREADY SENT HIM.

You have to move now.

NO ONE CAN GET HIM
ON HIS CELL.

He's due in court
right now.

WE HAVE TO
GET TO HIM FIRST.

Carter,
where the hell are you?

PUT DOWN THE DAMN PHONE.

CARTER'S COVER'S BLOWN.

LET'S GET TO THE JUDGE.

WHAT ABOUT CARTER?

THERE'S NO TIME.

CALL TY AND DEAN.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

I'M A COP, NEAL.

DAMN.

I DID NOT
SEE THAT COMING.

PUT THE GUN DOWN.

WHY?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

BECAUSE YOUR BROTHER IS ABOUT
TO EXECUTE A FEDERAL JUDGE,

AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,
YOU'LL BE AN ACCOMPLICE.

YOU ALREADY TOOK THE FALL
FOR HIM ONCE, NEAL.

DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

SO, WHAT?

YOU GONNA HELP ME --
IS THAT IT

PLEASE.

KYLE! GET IN HERE!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

HE'S A COP.

DROP YOUR GUN, KYLE.

KYLE, DON'T.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
HE SHOT ME.

THERE HE IS.

JUDGE. L.A.P.D.
JUDGE WASHBURN.

Cop: HEY!
I'M SPECIAL AGENT
ALEX RICE, FBI.

L.A.P.D.

Cop:
PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN!

L.A.P.D.
FBI.

THERE'S BEEN A THREAT MADE
ON YOUR LIFE.

Cop: PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN!

GUN!

DROP IT.
DROP IT!

AH-AH-AH-AH-AH.
AH-AH.

AH.

I SURRENDER.

YOU KILLED YOUR BROTHER
JUST TO TRY TO GET AWAY?

WHAT ARE
LITTLE BROTHERS FOR?

YOU'RE SICK.

AAH!

HEY.

YEAH, I'M FINE.

YEAH.

GOOD. GOOD.

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

I WILL BE A NATIONAL HERO
FOR WHAT I DID TODAY,

EVEN IN JAIL.

DON'T START WRITING
YOUR MEMOIRS JUST YET.

THEY STOPPED CREW CUT
AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND

BEFORE THEY COULD GET
TO JUDGE WASHBURN.

YOU'RE A JOKE.

GAH!

THAT WAS SOME OLD-SCHOOL
UNDERCOVER, LIEUTENANT.
GREAT JOB.

I WISH I WAS UNDER
WITH LAKER GIRLS,

BUT WE WORKED IT OUT.

WHERE YOU GOING?

GOOD JOB TODAY.

I DIDN'T EVEN
SEE HER COMING.

WELL, YOU GOT
THE PRIMARY SUSPECT.

I JUST GOT LUCKY.

NAH. YOU'RE GOOD.

I WASN'T JUDGING
YOUR NIGHT LIFE.

I JUST WANT TO DO
A GOOD JOB.

YOU PROBABLY THINK
I'M AN ASSHOLE

THAT I SPLIT UP WITH MEL,
HUH?

NO. I GET IT.

REALLY?

OUR JOBS ARE GREAT.

JUST NOT A LOT OF ROOM
FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

MAYBE IN THE LONG RUN,
YOU DID HER A FAVOR, HUH?

GOOD NIGHT.

MMM.

HE GOOD?
MM-HMM.

HUNGRY?

NO, I ATE.

SEX?

NICE TRY.
HOW ABOUT A BEER?

SURE.

SO...

...YOUR BOSSES
MUST BE HAPPY.

GOT KYLE ERIKSON,
SAVED A LIFE.

THEY'RE HAPPY
ABOUT THE BUST.

BUT WHEN THE BUREAU
GIVES YOU AN ORDER,

YOU'RE EXPECTED
TO FOLLOW IT,

SO I GUESS I WON'T BE GETTING
A GOLD STAR ON MY EVALUATION.

YOU KNOW
I REALLY DON'T CARE

WHAT YOU WRITE ABOUT ME
IN YOUR REPORT.

I THINK YOU CARE
THAT WE'RE SLEEPING TOGETHER,

WE WORK TOGETHER,

AND I GET TO TELL PEOPLE
WHAT I REALLY THINK ABOUT YOU.

WELL,
WHEN YOU PUT IT LIKE THAT.

ALL RIGHT.
LET'S MAKE IT EVEN.

GIVE ME
AN HONEST EVALUATION.

REALLY?

SPECIAL AGENT ALEX RICE

EXHIBITS SHARP
TACTICAL SKILLS,

GOOD LEADERSHIP
QUALITIES...

I LIKE IT SO FAR.

...BUT LACKS CREATIVITY
AND CAN BE INFLEXIBLE.

"INFLEXIBLE."

JUST BEING HONEST.

SO AM I.

OKAY. FINALLY.

"THOUGH LIEUTENANT SHAW'S
UNORTHODOX METHODS

"OFTEN YIELD RESULTS,

"HE'S CHRONICALLY
BELLIGERENT,

"DISDAINFUL OF AUTHORITY,

INDEPENDENTLY MINDED
TO THE POINT OF NARCISSISTIC."

"BELLIGERENT," "DISDAINFUL,"
"NARCISSISTIC"?

JUST ADD "OPINIONATED"
AND "CHARMLESS,"

AND I THINK
YOU NAILED IT.

IT'S A JOKE, CARTER.

I CAN'T SHOW YOU
THE REAL REPORT.

YOU LOOK LIKE
YOU COULD USE A STEAK

AND A COUPLE MARTINIS,
ON ME.

IF IT'S ON YOU.

YOU KNOW, UM,
"BELLIGERENT," "NARCISSISTIC"

JUST SEEM
JUST A LITTLE STRONG.

YEAH.

JUST WAIT TILL YOU TRY
AND GET ME IN BED TONIGHT.

I'LL SHOW YOU
INFLEXIBLE.

COME ON,
I WAS JOKING.
