Lie to Me (2009–2011): Season 3, Episode 8 - Smoked - full transcript
As a favor to detective Wallowski, Dr. Lightman investigates a fatal armed robbery of a barbecue restaurant owned by a man dying of cancer.
[Blues playing]
♪ Won't you be mine... ♪
When I said music,
Uncle Teddy,
this is not what I meant.
Hey, I'd burn
this place down
before I listen
to your damn hippie songs.
They're hipsters, not hippies.
Hipsters bathe.
[Chuckling] Whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
What did you just do
to that poor sauce?
It needs more kick.
The only kick it needs is the kick
your daddy gave it 36 years ago
when he wrote down--
wrote down the recipe
on an overturned mop bucket.
Just try it.
Please?
No. Mm-mmm.
Please?
♪ Won't you be true ♪
I like it
the way it was.
[Laughs]
Oh, hell,
what do I know?
I'm about to retire.
♪ Why won't you be true... ♪
[bell over door jingles]
That's weird.
I thought I locked up.
Sorry, folks,
we're closed.
[Music goes off]
Oh, come on!
I was joking.
Put that old music back on.
Uncle T?
Hey.
Run, Kira.
What's the matter with you?
He's an old man.
Leave him be.
[Cocks gun]
Ok. Ok.
You know, my dad,
this company,
we do a lot to help
folks out around here,
and y'all come in
waving guns.
Teddy!
Uhh!
Take your money and go!
[Groans]
[Gunshot]
You wrote your first book
on this.
Yeah, I was the only
idiot in New Guinea
with carpal tunnel.
I went where the spiders live
to get this.
Why, I hear you say?
That's putting in politely.
Whatever. I like
the way it sounds.
It reminds me
of the fingerpainting
on the floor
in the old office.
Have you been drinking?
Computer: Next dealer up.
Poker?
And you're down 800.
Write a book.
Oi!
[Knock on door]
Well, at least give me a
chance to break even.
[Knocking]
This needs oil.
And a new ribbon.
You're the woman
who broke into our house.
The cop your dad maced.
Sharon.
Detective Wallowski.
Bye, em.
What?
Well, this isn't a social call.
It's business.
And typically, with shady
cops like Shazzer here,
it's confidential,
so...
Buzz off.
So...
What can I do you for,
Detective?
Internal affairs rifling
through your lingerie again?
Your badge on the line?
That and a social call.
You drinking?
Yes.
So what is it, then,
Detective?
Robbery gone bad at
barbecue spot up on Girard.
Jimmy's. The owner's daughter
was shot dead tonight--
Carol Weaver.
And you knew her?
Yeah. The whole family.
Mostly the dad, Jim.
When I was a uniform,
his sons Marcus and Rudy
were frequent flyers
in the back of my squad car.
And?
What is it about?
More than just happy memories, right?
And Jim's dying and I want to
get him answers before he goes.
And?
That's it.
You do know
that I charge extra
for favors like this,
don't you?
Security video.
Shooters covered
head to toe.
I thought you might
see something I didn't.
I'll take that
to be a no.
Oi, Em!
I'll need my laptop!
Where's all the peasants?
You're an hour early.
Yeah, well,
I need them here now.
This is a family restaurant.
That is the daughter.
So we were hired
by the family?
No, it's pro bono,
this one.
Paid for in pork.
They're pretty fancy costumes for
knocking off a corner store,
don't you think?
So where did
this case come from?
They didn't want
to be recognized.
Inside job.
So, we weren't hired
by the family, then?
This one is a favor.
Ok.
So we should talk
to waiters, ex-employees,
anybody with a grudge who would
have wanted to rob the place.
Oh, robbery, my ass.
Look at his arms.
They're going up and down,
like a slot machine.
He's fighting with himself.
The girl, she's got
a lot of attitude,
for a girl
with a gun in her face.
He's having a hard enough time
doing what he came here to do.
So this wasn't a robbery.
This was
a premeditated murder.
That's an execution.

Hey.
John, the ex-fry cook,
Carla, the bitchy hostess,
and Donny, the dishwasher.
Ok, so that's
3 people Kira fired,
3 alibis, no lies,
out of 24 disgruntled
ex-employees.
Shouldn't the cops
be doing this?
They are.
A parallel investigation.
Cops don't see
what we see.
You can't wait to get out
of the hood, can you?
So I stick out
like a white thumb.
But when Donny back
there gave me static,
I didn't flinch.
No. You were kind of bad-ass,
for a suburban mall rat.
Yeah, oh, yeah, that's me.
I'm king of the food court.
All right.
Let's split up.
Unless you're scared.
No.
Liar.
Ok.
[Bell rings]
So besides the list
of employees you gave us,
you can't think of anyone else who
might have wanted to hurt her?
She was good people.
Hard to think anybody
wanted her dead.
So, Kira and Jim
and...
Marcus and Rudy.
They're good boys.
They work for the
company, too, do they?
No.
Went their own way.
They haven't spoken
in years.
Kira was all Jim had left.
Was a time I could have
handled those punks.
Here.
Brow raised and tilted head.
That's fear.
They had a gun on him.
Oh, I beg to differ,
Professor.
That's not fear,
that's recognition.
You know who the killers
are, don't you?
I loved Kira
like a daughter.
If I knew who killed her,
I'd have said.
You're protecting them--
the killers--ain't you?
Now, you see that?
Now, that is fear.
Hold on a sec.
You're not scared
of the killers, are you?
You're scared
of telling him.
I've known Jim
since we were 5 years old.
We came up together.
The man is my best friend,
and he just lost
his little girl.
Cain and Abel.
Eh, Uncle Teddy?
[Hip hop playing on radio]
Hey! Hey.
Just let it go.
Let the camera go, bitch.
Uhh!
Can we just talk
about this, please?
Well,
you said it yourself.
I mean, the man's dying,
right?
So, the least we can do is tell
him who killed his daughter.
The shooters had masks.
There's no way in hell
that Teddy could I.D. them.
Besides, who knows if he saw
that you think he saw?
You don't want me
to meet big Jim, do you?
I don't see what we'll gain
by giving a dying man
more bad news.
Hmm.
So how long has
he got, then?
Days, maybe weeks
on the outside.
I can hear you,
Detective.
Jim.
Number 41, hot.
And spicy.
With a cheeky
little kick.
Jim, this is
Dr. Lightman.
Another damn doctor.
I'm not that kind.
I've come here about Kira.
So how's the tumor, Jim?
Supposed to be dead
2 months ago.
Not taking the morphine,
I see.
You expect me
to sleep now?
When I go, it'll be
with my eyes wide open.
Good. 'Cause what
I'm about to tell you
would kill a lesser man.
Well, make it quick before
the cancer gets to my ears.
Do your sons hate you...
As much as I think they do?
'Cause I've been led to believe
that they killed your daughter.
The Weaver boys,
all grown up.
[Door closes]
Marcus,
the dental hygienist.
Rudy, still unemployed.
I heard you guys
don't speak anymore, huh?
Right.
Kira's dead.
And by the way,
you're an Uncle now.
Oh, really?
What was that?
Nothin'.
No, no, no,
you said something.
What'd you say?
I heard you.
Fine. You want to be
like that, be like that.
I'm telling you,
you don't question suspects
for the same crime in the same room.
It's interrogation 101.
Along with
rubber hoses 101.
What's the matter with you?
Really?
Nothing.
Where's my camera?
I left it in my car.
Why so angry, then?
What are you talking about?
I'm not angry.
My camera's not in the car.
Loker told you.
Did something happen to you
when you was out on the street?
I'll get you
another camera.
You do that.
In the meantime, here.
I want you
to take Foster out.
Have some lunch, you know.
You both deserve it.
Oh.
Right.
You can go now.
[Door opens]
What?
Nothing.
Ready?
Ready.
Good.
Looks like
2 rattlesnakes in a bag.
Time for the scorpion.
I'm sorry. Am I
interrupting something?
Do you want me
to come back later?
You know, when you finish
catching up.
I already told
your cop friend,
I haven't seen Kira
in 4 years.
Me, too.
Do you want to know
what he said about you?
What does this have to do
with my sister's murder?
I'm sorry, what did you say?
That's shame from Rudy.
Over Kira?
He was looking at Marcus.
Whatever he told you
is a lie.
I didn't say anything,
all right?
It was dad. Dad thinks
we killed Kira.
We?
How is your old man,
anyway?
[Shouting]
I said, how is your old man?!
Hey! Why do you
keep doing that?
'Cause you can't hear me
properly, can you?
Just like you couldn't
hear him earlier.
Oh, really?
So, what, you're deaf
in one ear, are you?
How'd that happen?
It wasn't me.
Yeah, right.
All right, well,
let me guess.
Uh...Baseball bat?
Tire iron?
'Cause neither one of you strike me
the kind of bare-knuckle wankers
I grew up with.
Try whiskey bottle.
Yeah. Hit me with
the damn thing right here.
Oh.
It was bourbon.
That's true, right?
Lightman just got us
a baseline.
I'll bet you had it coming,
didn't you?
I wasn't the one who stole stole the
night deposit and got us cut off.
Son of a bitch.
You gonna put this all on me, Marcus?
Why don't you tell him
whose idea it was, huh?
Night deposit.
All of it.
Who put the mirror in front of
me, huh, gave me my first bump?
Who was that?
Hey, if you could
do this to me,
how do I know
you didn't kill Kira?
[Shouting]
Aah!
You better control...
[Indistinct]
[Shouting]
I told you we should
have split them up.
You better tell 'em
the truth.
You better get him
out of here!
You happy?!
So, 4 years since
you've seen Kira, right?
Do me a favor.
I mean, your pain's
too raw, right?
You're an open wound.
Look at you.
So, when did you
last see her?
A month ago?
A week ago?
The night of the murder?
Right.
Right.
I just found out
that Marcus saw Kira
not long before
she was killed.
So much for
interrogation 101, eh?
Yeah, well, while you were
starting your cage fight in there,
my cop friends
made an arrest.
Pissed-off hooker
says her meth head boyfriend
and his pal did the murder.
Oh, good.
'Cause hookers
never lie.
Neither do ballistics.
She gave us the gun,
a match for the bullet in Kira's head.
We got our killers,
and it ain't him or his brother.
Why can't you admit
you were wrong about Jim's sons?
'Cause Marcus lied.
And guns change hands.
You get the fat one.
You mark my words--
sooner or later
you're gonna find out
this is all about that messed-up family.
Yeah, so who are these two,
Jim's nephews?
You only want answers that
Jim will like, don't you?
So what's he got on you, eh?
'Cause that's why
you don't want me near him.
I guess this time we're gonna
keep them separate, huh?
Oh, yeah, right.
Good idea.
[Door slams]
So, where'd you get
that gun?
We found that gun
in a trash can.
Yeah, my grandma
was a virgin.
We didn't kill nobody,
I swear.
You believe in
the Easter bunny?
What the hell
kind of question's that?
The trash can.
Why were you digging in the trash can?
I like leftovers.
How about Santa?
You believe in Santa?
Not since I was, like, 8.
So you don't believe
everything that you're told.
What the hell
are you talking about, man?
You killed that girl.
You know it
and I know it, fat man.
Get me a lawyer.
Tell me you didn't
kill that girl.
We didn't kill anybody.
I swear.
You believe that.
Moron.
All right.
Now tell him the truth.
You killed that girl,
right?
Now...
Did you see...
How his lip
just kind of twitched
like that?
You see that?
He can't help that.
You can't bite back
anger like that.
You know I'm right.
I want that lawyer.
So what happened?
Did you...
Freak out
and hit the crystal?
Shut up, Eddie.
He never said nothing,
numnuts.
We didn't do nothin', man.
Oh, you robbed that
restaurant all right.
You confessed
to that on sight.
But he lied to you
about the rest of it.
And you believed him, 'cause you
wanted to believe him, right?
Because it was easier
than the truth.
He missed.
You said you missed.
Hey!
You son of a bitch!
He didn't miss.
You know he didn't miss.
He didn't miss.
I mean, you saw
what that bullet
did to that girl's
head, right?
Not true. You're lying.
All right.
Take a seat.
Now, look at them,
you punk.
We--we--we just--
we needed money.
There was 1,500 bucks
and change in that till.
Is that all that girl's
life was worth to you?
Is it?
Eh?
Oh, there was more.
Yeah.
So, you were paid
to do it, were you?
We were down in Anacostia
looking to score.
Dude walked up, told Nick
he'd pay us 5 grand.
This the guy?
It was night
and he had a hat on,
and I was pretty lit.
Oh, yeah.
If you ask me one more question
before I get a lawyer,
the fat one walks.
Go ahead.
Oh, yeah?
Don't clock out just yet,
all right?
I wasn't going anywhere.
I was waiting for you.
And Wallowski.
Don't think that lunch
with Torres fooled me.
Where'd you go, then?
Somewhere swanky?
Why do you feel it's necessary
to hide her from me?
How do you know that I'm
not hiding you from her?
I'm so glad
I waited for you.
You don't like her,
do you?
I don't know her,
thanks to you.
Well, look, I had to lie
for her to you
when she was being
investigated.
I don't want to
have to do that again.
You keep trying
to protect me. How sweet.
Oh, so, you're ok
with her, then.
I didn't say that.
Yet.
You know, she's good.
I mean, you know,
she's very good.
At what she does.
I wouldn't know.
Right.
Dinner's on me.
It's a threesome.
You'll have to use another card.
This one was denied.
Oh, yeah?
What you been up to?
Here's the other half.
Nice shoes.
Aunt Abby called, said dad
wanted me to come by.
Aunt Abby's a liar.
Well, I should know.
I put her up to it.
This is harassment.
No, look, no.
You stay, all right?
And we'll leave.
I mean, after all,
it is your place.
Or it will be,
you know, when your dad
kicks the bucket.
I mean, with Kira gone, you
and Rudy get the business.
Jim may have left you
out of his life,
but he didn't
cut you out of his will.
He didn't have
the heart for that.
And don't act like
you don't know.
Actually, I think
his surprise is genuine.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah?
Do you want to see
where your sister got shot?
Why are you doing this?
'Cause someone hired
those killers.
And we're standing right in
the middle of your motive.
Right, so,
the bullet enters here.
All right, all right,
that is enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm Gillian Foster.
I'm his partner,
and I have to put up with him.
I'm sorry about that.
I--I know you miss her.
What do you care?
I lost my brother
in a car accident.
There's still days
I want to call him.
And I even dial, and...
Then I remember.
No, I know
what it's like.
You're alone.
Your...
Your father's
slipping away.
Your brother's
dead to you,
and now Kira.
What happened the last
time you saw Kira?
She came to me.
She missed me.
Wanted to patch things up.
She wanted you to make
peace with your dad
before he died.
You and Rudy.
Hey! How come you didn't say anything
about this last night?
With our family history,
who'd believe Kira and I
didn't have a fight?
Well, that's half true.
What about the rest, eh?
What about
the half that matters?
I didn't want to say
in front of Rudy.
You told her not
to bother with him.
I told Kira
Rudy was a lost cause.
You getting all this,
Rudy?
We invited your baby
brother down here.
Well, rude not to,
really.
He's innocent, too,
by the way.
They caught
the killers, so...
Well, go on, then.
Man up.
So I'm an Uncle now, hey?
They're more interested
in making up
than finding out
who the real killers are.
You know, you scare me
sometimes, you do,
how good a liar
you can be.
I always wanted
a brother.
Dr. Lightman.
I wrapped this up
for you.
Just let Jim know
that it wasn't them.
I wasn't sure.
That's why I didn't want to say.
My cardiologist thanks you.
Hey, by the way,
Detective Wallowski was wondering
if you could look at a lineup.
It's a cop thing.
Sure. Anything I can do.
Just let me know when.
How about now?
Don't rush. Just take
a good long look
and tell us who you saw.
They--they had masks.
I--I can't say.
That's all right, mate.
Always better to be
truthful, don't you think?
Here.
What--what are you--
is this him?
I think we've seen that look
somewhere before,
don't you, Professor?
Recognition.
This junkie recognizes you
from somewhere, Teddy.
So, you recognize the killers
'cause you hired them,
right?
This is crazy.
I--I'm a witness.
No, you paid them
to kill Kira,
and then you tried
to pin it on Marcus and Rudy.
I never said their names.
So, this is from
before the shooting.
This is at the restaurant,
you and Kira arguing
over the sauce, right?
See that?
Sadness. You were grieving before they
even walked through the door, mate.
We were talking about
Jim's dying.
I loved Kira.
I didn't do this.
Please.
Hold that thought.
I can't hold an old man based
on nothing but your science.
I don't expect
you to, darling.
So, what, you think you're
gonna get a confession now?
Did you ever try
to hire a hit man?
Not exactly a buyer's
market out there.
So you're taking
a meth head's word for it,
because meth heads,
they never lie.
Bring 'em in again
if you don't believe me.
After your stunt in the lineup,
they both lawyered up.
We won't see their faces
till trial.
And Jim will be dead
by then.
You think this is funny,
do you?
Do you see me laughing?
[Door closes]
Your ass off.
You certainly don't treat her like
she's as good as you say she is.
Oh, and that's funny
to you, is it?
I know it shouldn't be,
but...I just can't resist.
Got anything useful to say?
Teddy's love for Kira
is real.
And so's his love for Jim.
You're accusing the man of murder, and
all he cares about is his best friend.
There's a profile here,
and Teddy doesn't fit it.
Not yet, he doesn't.
Are you out of
your damn mind?
I feel no pain,
if that's what you mean.
Yesterday it's my sons.
Today it's my best friend.
Yeah, well, your best friend
tried to pin it on your sons.
Teddy wouldn't do that.
We grew up together.
We came here together.
How's Marcus doing?
I mean, gearing up
for his new job.
Him and Rudy, they get
the business, right,
after you're dead?
Or did Teddy ask you
to put him in charge
just until this mess with
the murders has blown over?
You did as he asked,
didn't you?
Get out of my house.
Don't act like
you don't know...
Deep down.
You can't come
into my house
and--and talk about my family
and my friends like that.
[Monitor beeping faster]
So, what's it gonna be,
then, Jim?
You swallow the lies
and go quietly?
Or do you die
with your eyes open?
I'm here, Mr. Weaver.
[Blues playing softly]
I'm here to apologize.
I can't find any evidence
you were involved in this.
Dr. Lightman was wrong.
Scientists...
You know.
Does he know that?
No, what's important
is that you're not
a suspect anymore.
[Cell phone rings]
Excuse me.
Jim, how you doin'?
[Monitor beeping]
You did this to him.
You upset him.
Now, what lies
did you tell him?
Not me, mate.
It's Kira's death
that's killing him.
You of all people
should know that.
[Monitor beeping]
[Dog barking]
Now, what do you want?
The camera.
It wasn't mine,
and it wasn't your to take.
So? I ain't got it.
You sold it.
You know, I grew up here.
Grew. Past tense.
That why you robbed me,
'cause I stuck out?
No, you stuck out
'cause you got out.
You ain't from
around here no more.
Could you tell all that
just by looking at me?
I do that, too.
Pretty good at it.
Normally.
If I had this coat on,
would you have come at me?
What you got
in those pockets?
Exactly.
You robbed those guys,
too, huh?
How much longer
you think you can hide?
As long as I have to.
That's dumber than me
thinking a coat could keep me safe.
[Monitor beeping]
Well...He'll be ok.
The machine's keeping
him alive for now.
Jim was changing his will.
His lawyer says he wanted
you to get everything.
You have power of attorney.
The doctors need to know
if you want to keep him
this way or...
Wallowski says
I was wrong about you.
I was just doing
what I had to do.
I hope you understand that.
You think Kira's death
did this to him?
Well, cancer
played its part.
But, yeah, she was all
he had left.
Jim wouldn't want
to live this way.
That's the big question.
That and picking out
a new car.
I mean, personally,
I'd go for something sporty.
Stick...Big stripe
down the middle.
What are you talking about?
Jim's money.
Well, no, actually,
your money now, right?
I--I can't talk
about that now.
I know. It does your head in,
doesn't it?
Especially since half of you
is so loyal,
and the other half is jealous.
Ok, you can leave now.
No hard feelings.
You don't hate Kira.
Do you?
Her death is killing you.
Which is why I couldn't
spot your lies, first off.
Until your anger at me
replaced your grief for her.
Do you even have a heart,
Lightman?
Accusing me now,
even as I'm standing here
trying to decide
if my best friend--
you've already decided, mate.
I mean, look at you, really.
You're ready to sign.
Without waiting, without
talking to Marcus and Rudy,
without even checking
with the doctors.
No.
I mean, just picking up
that pen...
Was an act of betrayal.
It's what Jim wanted.
He always said
no heroics.
He told us to just
let him go.
I've heard enough.
Were you just gonna
throw my life away?
Jim...
Is that what you did
to Kira?
All the family
I had left.
You see,
family, that's it, right?
Which you are not.
Jim, I didn't--
even though you were with him
every step of the way.
And then what's he gonna do?
He's just gonna hand it off
to some little girl?
I loved Kira.
You took my child.
You took my child.
No.
No, I...
Jim, I...
I loved her
as much as you did.
Well, part of you did,
anyway.
Let's go daddy..
All better, then?
I'll take that
as a "not really."
To what do I owe
this pleasure?
I just wanted to make sure
that Wallowski was telling it straight.
I understand
Teddy's been charged.
The D.A. says
it's a done deal.
But you don't want to stick
around for the verdict?
Thanks for the visit.
So that's it?
Cue the violins?
I'm going out
with my eyes wide open.
Half open, you mean.
It's all your fault.
All of it.
You can't blame me
for what Teddy did.
I'm not blaming you.
You are.
Teddy may not be blood,
but he is family.
Just the same as Kira.
But you treat him
like an employee.
You can't ignore
your brother
any more than
you fire your sons.
Right?
What's that, uh,
you've got Wallowski in?
That goes with me
to my grave.
You know I'll dig it up
sooner or later, don't you?
A couple times
my boys got in trouble.
She got the charges dropped.
For what, free lunch?
Oh, you must be joking.
A free lunch.
That's a girl
after my own heart.
You, uh, sure about this?
Not in the slightest,
mate.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking
for, uh...
Ria Torres?
Brows up and tense.
Eyelids raised.
Fear.
Concealment.
What do you guys do here?
That's what we do here.
Hey, you got it working.
Yeah. It only took
3 different trips
to 3 different shops.
Why didn't you
just use the Internet?
So, dad...
Yeah.
Is Shazzer short for Sharon
where you come from?
Where I come from?
What, you mean England?
I thought we were Australian.
Look, do you mind?
I'm trying to concentrate here.
Well, I mean,
is she your new...
You know.
Look, leave it at that,
all right?
I don't have a new,
you know.
Meaning she is
your new you know.
Meaning
nothing of the sort.
I don't have
one of those...
You knows.
Don't you think you should
get a new girlfriend?
Look, this is my new
girlfriend right now,
you know,
thanks to you.
At least until I can
bang this bloody book out.
So...Do you mind?
Computer: Next dealer up.
Are you playing poker
on my account?
It's 18 and over.
Oh, look, you're ahead.
How'd you do that?
Luck. And you should quit
while you're ahead.
So, does Gillian approve
of Shazzer?
With a passion.
Yeah, totally.
What?
All right, well, maybe
not completely totally,
but, you know,
she'll come around.
You hope.
Back to work.

Little bugger.

[Groans]
[Gunshot]
You wrote your first book
on this.
Yeah, I was the only
idiot in New Guinea
with carpal tunnel.
I went where the spiders live
to get this.
Why, I hear you say?
That's putting in politely.
Whatever. I like
the way it sounds.
It reminds me
of the fingerpainting
on the floor
in the old office.
Have you been drinking?
Computer: Next dealer up.
Poker?
And you're down 800.
Write a book.
Oi!
[Knock on door]
Well, at least give me a
chance to break even.
[Knocking]
This needs oil.
And a new ribbon.
You're the woman
who broke into our house.
The cop your dad maced.
Sharon.
Detective Wallowski.
Bye, em.
What?
Well, this isn't a social call.
It's business.
And typically, with shady
cops like Shazzer here,
it's confidential,
so...
Buzz off.
So...
What can I do you for,
Detective?
Internal affairs rifling
through your lingerie again?
Your badge on the line?
That and a social call.
You drinking?
Yes.
So what is it, then,
Detective?
Robbery gone bad at
barbecue spot up on Girard.
Jimmy's. The owner's daughter
was shot dead tonight--
Carol Weaver.
And you knew her?
Yeah. The whole family.
Mostly the dad, Jim.
When I was a uniform,
his sons Marcus and Rudy
were frequent flyers
in the back of my squad car.
And?
What is it about?
More than just happy memories, right?
And Jim's dying and I want to
get him answers before he goes.
And?
That's it.
You do know
that I charge extra
for favors like this,
don't you?
Security video.
Shooters covered
head to toe.
I thought you might
see something I didn't.
I'll take that
to be a no.
Oi, Em!
I'll need my laptop!
Where's all the peasants?
You're an hour early.
Yeah, well,
I need them here now.
This is a family restaurant.
That is the daughter.
So we were hired
by the family?
No, it's pro bono,
this one.
Paid for in pork.
They're pretty fancy costumes for
knocking off a corner store,
don't you think?
So where did
this case come from?
They didn't want
to be recognized.
Inside job.
So, we weren't hired
by the family, then?
This one is a favor.
Ok.
So we should talk
to waiters, ex-employees,
anybody with a grudge who would
have wanted to rob the place.
Oh, robbery, my ass.
Look at his arms.
They're going up and down,
like a slot machine.
He's fighting with himself.
The girl, she's got
a lot of attitude,
for a girl
with a gun in her face.
He's having a hard enough time
doing what he came here to do.
So this wasn't a robbery.
This was
a premeditated murder.
That's an execution.

Hey.
John, the ex-fry cook,
Carla, the bitchy hostess,
and Donny, the dishwasher.
Ok, so that's
3 people Kira fired,
3 alibis, no lies,
out of 24 disgruntled
ex-employees.
Shouldn't the cops
be doing this?
They are.
A parallel investigation.
Cops don't see
what we see.
You can't wait to get out
of the hood, can you?
So I stick out
like a white thumb.
But when Donny back
there gave me static,
I didn't flinch.
No. You were kind of bad-ass,
for a suburban mall rat.
Yeah, oh, yeah, that's me.
I'm king of the food court.
All right.
Let's split up.
Unless you're scared.
No.
Liar.
Ok.
[Bell rings]
So besides the list
of employees you gave us,
you can't think of anyone else who
might have wanted to hurt her?
She was good people.
Hard to think anybody
wanted her dead.
So, Kira and Jim
and...
Marcus and Rudy.
They're good boys.
They work for the
company, too, do they?
No.
Went their own way.
They haven't spoken
in years.
Kira was all Jim had left.
Was a time I could have
handled those punks.
Here.
Brow raised and tilted head.
That's fear.
They had a gun on him.
Oh, I beg to differ,
Professor.
That's not fear,
that's recognition.
You know who the killers
are, don't you?
I loved Kira
like a daughter.
If I knew who killed her,
I'd have said.
You're protecting them--
the killers--ain't you?
Now, you see that?
Now, that is fear.
Hold on a sec.
You're not scared
of the killers, are you?
You're scared
of telling him.
I've known Jim
since we were 5 years old.
We came up together.
The man is my best friend,
and he just lost
his little girl.
Cain and Abel.
Eh, Uncle Teddy?
[Hip hop playing on radio]
Hey! Hey.
Just let it go.
Let the camera go, bitch.
Uhh!
Can we just talk
about this, please?
Well,
you said it yourself.
I mean, the man's dying,
right?
So, the least we can do is tell
him who killed his daughter.
The shooters had masks.
There's no way in hell
that Teddy could I.D. them.
Besides, who knows if he saw
that you think he saw?
You don't want me
to meet big Jim, do you?
I don't see what we'll gain
by giving a dying man
more bad news.
Hmm.
So how long has
he got, then?
Days, maybe weeks
on the outside.
I can hear you,
Detective.
Jim.
Number 41, hot.
And spicy.
With a cheeky
little kick.
Jim, this is
Dr. Lightman.
Another damn doctor.
I'm not that kind.
I've come here about Kira.
So how's the tumor, Jim?
Supposed to be dead
2 months ago.
Not taking the morphine,
I see.
You expect me
to sleep now?
When I go, it'll be
with my eyes wide open.
Good. 'Cause what
I'm about to tell you
would kill a lesser man.
Well, make it quick before
the cancer gets to my ears.
Do your sons hate you...
As much as I think they do?
'Cause I've been led to believe
that they killed your daughter.
The Weaver boys,
all grown up.
[Door closes]
Marcus,
the dental hygienist.
Rudy, still unemployed.
I heard you guys
don't speak anymore, huh?
Right.
Kira's dead.
And by the way,
you're an Uncle now.
Oh, really?
What was that?
Nothin'.
No, no, no,
you said something.
What'd you say?
I heard you.
Fine. You want to be
like that, be like that.
I'm telling you,
you don't question suspects
for the same crime in the same room.
It's interrogation 101.
Along with
rubber hoses 101.
What's the matter with you?
Really?
Nothing.
Where's my camera?
I left it in my car.
Why so angry, then?
What are you talking about?
I'm not angry.
My camera's not in the car.
Loker told you.
Did something happen to you
when you was out on the street?
I'll get you
another camera.
You do that.
In the meantime, here.
I want you
to take Foster out.
Have some lunch, you know.
You both deserve it.
Oh.
Right.
You can go now.
[Door opens]
What?
Nothing.
Ready?
Ready.
Good.
Looks like
2 rattlesnakes in a bag.
Time for the scorpion.
I'm sorry. Am I
interrupting something?
Do you want me
to come back later?
You know, when you finish
catching up.
I already told
your cop friend,
I haven't seen Kira
in 4 years.
Me, too.
Do you want to know
what he said about you?
What does this have to do
with my sister's murder?
I'm sorry, what did you say?
That's shame from Rudy.
Over Kira?
He was looking at Marcus.
Whatever he told you
is a lie.
I didn't say anything,
all right?
It was dad. Dad thinks
we killed Kira.
We?
How is your old man,
anyway?
[Shouting]
I said, how is your old man?!
Hey! Why do you
keep doing that?
'Cause you can't hear me
properly, can you?
Just like you couldn't
hear him earlier.
Oh, really?
So, what, you're deaf
in one ear, are you?
How'd that happen?
It wasn't me.
Yeah, right.
All right, well,
let me guess.
Uh...Baseball bat?
Tire iron?
'Cause neither one of you strike me
the kind of bare-knuckle wankers
I grew up with.
Try whiskey bottle.
Yeah. Hit me with
the damn thing right here.
Oh.
It was bourbon.
That's true, right?
Lightman just got us
a baseline.
I'll bet you had it coming,
didn't you?
I wasn't the one who stole stole the
night deposit and got us cut off.
Son of a bitch.
You gonna put this all on me, Marcus?
Why don't you tell him
whose idea it was, huh?
Night deposit.
All of it.
Who put the mirror in front of
me, huh, gave me my first bump?
Who was that?
Hey, if you could
do this to me,
how do I know
you didn't kill Kira?
[Shouting]
Aah!
You better control...
[Indistinct]
[Shouting]
I told you we should
have split them up.
You better tell 'em
the truth.
You better get him
out of here!
You happy?!
So, 4 years since
you've seen Kira, right?
Do me a favor.
I mean, your pain's
too raw, right?
You're an open wound.
Look at you.
So, when did you
last see her?
A month ago?
A week ago?
The night of the murder?
Right.
Right.
I just found out
that Marcus saw Kira
not long before
she was killed.
So much for
interrogation 101, eh?
Yeah, well, while you were
starting your cage fight in there,
my cop friends
made an arrest.
Pissed-off hooker
says her meth head boyfriend
and his pal did the murder.
Oh, good.
'Cause hookers
never lie.
Neither do ballistics.
She gave us the gun,
a match for the bullet in Kira's head.
We got our killers,
and it ain't him or his brother.
Why can't you admit
you were wrong about Jim's sons?
'Cause Marcus lied.
And guns change hands.
You get the fat one.
You mark my words--
sooner or later
you're gonna find out
this is all about that messed-up family.
Yeah, so who are these two,
Jim's nephews?
You only want answers that
Jim will like, don't you?
So what's he got on you, eh?
'Cause that's why
you don't want me near him.
I guess this time we're gonna
keep them separate, huh?
Oh, yeah, right.
Good idea.
[Door slams]
So, where'd you get
that gun?
We found that gun
in a trash can.
Yeah, my grandma
was a virgin.
We didn't kill nobody,
I swear.
You believe in
the Easter bunny?
What the hell
kind of question's that?
The trash can.
Why were you digging in the trash can?
I like leftovers.
How about Santa?
You believe in Santa?
Not since I was, like, 8.
So you don't believe
everything that you're told.
What the hell
are you talking about, man?
You killed that girl.
You know it
and I know it, fat man.
Get me a lawyer.
Tell me you didn't
kill that girl.
We didn't kill anybody.
I swear.
You believe that.
Moron.
All right.
Now tell him the truth.
You killed that girl,
right?
Now...
Did you see...
How his lip
just kind of twitched
like that?
You see that?
He can't help that.
You can't bite back
anger like that.
You know I'm right.
I want that lawyer.
So what happened?
Did you...
Freak out
and hit the crystal?
Shut up, Eddie.
He never said nothing,
numnuts.
We didn't do nothin', man.
Oh, you robbed that
restaurant all right.
You confessed
to that on sight.
But he lied to you
about the rest of it.
And you believed him, 'cause you
wanted to believe him, right?
Because it was easier
than the truth.
He missed.
You said you missed.
Hey!
You son of a bitch!
He didn't miss.
You know he didn't miss.
He didn't miss.
I mean, you saw
what that bullet
did to that girl's
head, right?
Not true. You're lying.
All right.
Take a seat.
Now, look at them,
you punk.
We--we--we just--
we needed money.
There was 1,500 bucks
and change in that till.
Is that all that girl's
life was worth to you?
Is it?
Eh?
Oh, there was more.
Yeah.
So, you were paid
to do it, were you?
We were down in Anacostia
looking to score.
Dude walked up, told Nick
he'd pay us 5 grand.
This the guy?
It was night
and he had a hat on,
and I was pretty lit.
Oh, yeah.
If you ask me one more question
before I get a lawyer,
the fat one walks.
Go ahead.
Oh, yeah?
Don't clock out just yet,
all right?
I wasn't going anywhere.
I was waiting for you.
And Wallowski.
Don't think that lunch
with Torres fooled me.
Where'd you go, then?
Somewhere swanky?
Why do you feel it's necessary
to hide her from me?
How do you know that I'm
not hiding you from her?
I'm so glad
I waited for you.
You don't like her,
do you?
I don't know her,
thanks to you.
Well, look, I had to lie
for her to you
when she was being
investigated.
I don't want to
have to do that again.
You keep trying
to protect me. How sweet.
Oh, so, you're ok
with her, then.
I didn't say that.
Yet.
You know, she's good.
I mean, you know,
she's very good.
At what she does.
I wouldn't know.
Right.
Dinner's on me.
It's a threesome.
You'll have to use another card.
This one was denied.
Oh, yeah?
What you been up to?
Here's the other half.
Nice shoes.
Aunt Abby called, said dad
wanted me to come by.
Aunt Abby's a liar.
Well, I should know.
I put her up to it.
This is harassment.
No, look, no.
You stay, all right?
And we'll leave.
I mean, after all,
it is your place.
Or it will be,
you know, when your dad
kicks the bucket.
I mean, with Kira gone, you
and Rudy get the business.
Jim may have left you
out of his life,
but he didn't
cut you out of his will.
He didn't have
the heart for that.
And don't act like
you don't know.
Actually, I think
his surprise is genuine.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah?
Do you want to see
where your sister got shot?
Why are you doing this?
'Cause someone hired
those killers.
And we're standing right in
the middle of your motive.
Right, so,
the bullet enters here.
All right, all right,
that is enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm Gillian Foster.
I'm his partner,
and I have to put up with him.
I'm sorry about that.
I--I know you miss her.
What do you care?
I lost my brother
in a car accident.
There's still days
I want to call him.
And I even dial, and...
Then I remember.
No, I know
what it's like.
You're alone.
Your...
Your father's
slipping away.
Your brother's
dead to you,
and now Kira.
What happened the last
time you saw Kira?
She came to me.
She missed me.
Wanted to patch things up.
She wanted you to make
peace with your dad
before he died.
You and Rudy.
Hey! How come you didn't say anything
about this last night?
With our family history,
who'd believe Kira and I
didn't have a fight?
Well, that's half true.
What about the rest, eh?
What about
the half that matters?
I didn't want to say
in front of Rudy.
You told her not
to bother with him.
I told Kira
Rudy was a lost cause.
You getting all this,
Rudy?
We invited your baby
brother down here.
Well, rude not to,
really.
He's innocent, too,
by the way.
They caught
the killers, so...
Well, go on, then.
Man up.
So I'm an Uncle now, hey?
They're more interested
in making up
than finding out
who the real killers are.
You know, you scare me
sometimes, you do,
how good a liar
you can be.
I always wanted
a brother.
Dr. Lightman.
I wrapped this up
for you.
Just let Jim know
that it wasn't them.
I wasn't sure.
That's why I didn't want to say.
My cardiologist thanks you.
Hey, by the way,
Detective Wallowski was wondering
if you could look at a lineup.
It's a cop thing.
Sure. Anything I can do.
Just let me know when.
How about now?
Don't rush. Just take
a good long look
and tell us who you saw.
They--they had masks.
I--I can't say.
That's all right, mate.
Always better to be
truthful, don't you think?
Here.
What--what are you--
is this him?
I think we've seen that look
somewhere before,
don't you, Professor?
Recognition.
This junkie recognizes you
from somewhere, Teddy.
So, you recognize the killers
'cause you hired them,
right?
This is crazy.
I--I'm a witness.
No, you paid them
to kill Kira,
and then you tried
to pin it on Marcus and Rudy.
I never said their names.
So, this is from
before the shooting.
This is at the restaurant,
you and Kira arguing
over the sauce, right?
See that?
Sadness. You were grieving before they
even walked through the door, mate.
We were talking about
Jim's dying.
I loved Kira.
I didn't do this.
Please.
Hold that thought.
I can't hold an old man based
on nothing but your science.
I don't expect
you to, darling.
So, what, you think you're
gonna get a confession now?
Did you ever try
to hire a hit man?
Not exactly a buyer's
market out there.
So you're taking
a meth head's word for it,
because meth heads,
they never lie.
Bring 'em in again
if you don't believe me.
After your stunt in the lineup,
they both lawyered up.
We won't see their faces
till trial.
And Jim will be dead
by then.
You think this is funny,
do you?
Do you see me laughing?
[Door closes]
Your ass off.
You certainly don't treat her like
she's as good as you say she is.
Oh, and that's funny
to you, is it?
I know it shouldn't be,
but...I just can't resist.
Got anything useful to say?
Teddy's love for Kira
is real.
And so's his love for Jim.
You're accusing the man of murder, and
all he cares about is his best friend.
There's a profile here,
and Teddy doesn't fit it.
Not yet, he doesn't.
Are you out of
your damn mind?
I feel no pain,
if that's what you mean.
Yesterday it's my sons.
Today it's my best friend.
Yeah, well, your best friend
tried to pin it on your sons.
Teddy wouldn't do that.
We grew up together.
We came here together.
How's Marcus doing?
I mean, gearing up
for his new job.
Him and Rudy, they get
the business, right,
after you're dead?
Or did Teddy ask you
to put him in charge
just until this mess with
the murders has blown over?
You did as he asked,
didn't you?
Get out of my house.
Don't act like
you don't know...
Deep down.
You can't come
into my house
and--and talk about my family
and my friends like that.
[Monitor beeping faster]
So, what's it gonna be,
then, Jim?
You swallow the lies
and go quietly?
Or do you die
with your eyes open?
I'm here, Mr. Weaver.
[Blues playing softly]
I'm here to apologize.
I can't find any evidence
you were involved in this.
Dr. Lightman was wrong.
Scientists...
You know.
Does he know that?
No, what's important
is that you're not
a suspect anymore.
[Cell phone rings]
Excuse me.
Jim, how you doin'?
[Monitor beeping]
You did this to him.
You upset him.
Now, what lies
did you tell him?
Not me, mate.
It's Kira's death
that's killing him.
You of all people
should know that.
[Monitor beeping]
[Dog barking]
Now, what do you want?
The camera.
It wasn't mine,
and it wasn't your to take.
So? I ain't got it.
You sold it.
You know, I grew up here.
Grew. Past tense.
That why you robbed me,
'cause I stuck out?
No, you stuck out
'cause you got out.
You ain't from
around here no more.
Could you tell all that
just by looking at me?
I do that, too.
Pretty good at it.
Normally.
If I had this coat on,
would you have come at me?
What you got
in those pockets?
Exactly.
You robbed those guys,
too, huh?
How much longer
you think you can hide?
As long as I have to.
That's dumber than me
thinking a coat could keep me safe.
[Monitor beeping]
Well...He'll be ok.
The machine's keeping
him alive for now.
Jim was changing his will.
His lawyer says he wanted
you to get everything.
You have power of attorney.
The doctors need to know
if you want to keep him
this way or...
Wallowski says
I was wrong about you.
I was just doing
what I had to do.
I hope you understand that.
You think Kira's death
did this to him?
Well, cancer
played its part.
But, yeah, she was all
he had left.
Jim wouldn't want
to live this way.
That's the big question.
That and picking out
a new car.
I mean, personally,
I'd go for something sporty.
Stick...Big stripe
down the middle.
What are you talking about?
Jim's money.
Well, no, actually,
your money now, right?
I--I can't talk
about that now.
I know. It does your head in,
doesn't it?
Especially since half of you
is so loyal,
and the other half is jealous.
Ok, you can leave now.
No hard feelings.
You don't hate Kira.
Do you?
Her death is killing you.
Which is why I couldn't
spot your lies, first off.
Until your anger at me
replaced your grief for her.
Do you even have a heart,
Lightman?
Accusing me now,
even as I'm standing here
trying to decide
if my best friend--
you've already decided, mate.
I mean, look at you, really.
You're ready to sign.
Without waiting, without
talking to Marcus and Rudy,
without even checking
with the doctors.
No.
I mean, just picking up
that pen...
Was an act of betrayal.
It's what Jim wanted.
He always said
no heroics.
He told us to just
let him go.
I've heard enough.
Were you just gonna
throw my life away?
Jim...
Is that what you did
to Kira?
All the family
I had left.
You see,
family, that's it, right?
Which you are not.
Jim, I didn't--
even though you were with him
every step of the way.
And then what's he gonna do?
He's just gonna hand it off
to some little girl?
I loved Kira.
You took my child.
You took my child.
No.
No, I...
Jim, I...
I loved her
as much as you did.
Well, part of you did,
anyway.
Let's go daddy..
All better, then?
I'll take that
as a "not really."
To what do I owe
this pleasure?
I just wanted to make sure
that Wallowski was telling it straight.
I understand
Teddy's been charged.
The D.A. says
it's a done deal.
But you don't want to stick
around for the verdict?
Thanks for the visit.
So that's it?
Cue the violins?
I'm going out
with my eyes wide open.
Half open, you mean.
It's all your fault.
All of it.
You can't blame me
for what Teddy did.
I'm not blaming you.
You are.
Teddy may not be blood,
but he is family.
Just the same as Kira.
But you treat him
like an employee.
You can't ignore
your brother
any more than
you fire your sons.
Right?
What's that, uh,
you've got Wallowski in?
That goes with me
to my grave.
You know I'll dig it up
sooner or later, don't you?
A couple times
my boys got in trouble.
She got the charges dropped.
For what, free lunch?
Oh, you must be joking.
A free lunch.
That's a girl
after my own heart.
You, uh, sure about this?
Not in the slightest,
mate.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm looking
for, uh...
Ria Torres?
Brows up and tense.
Eyelids raised.
Fear.
Concealment.
What do you guys do here?
That's what we do here.
Hey, you got it working.
Yeah. It only took
3 different trips
to 3 different shops.
Why didn't you
just use the Internet?
So, dad...
Yeah.
Is Shazzer short for Sharon
where you come from?
Where I come from?
What, you mean England?
I thought we were Australian.
Look, do you mind?
I'm trying to concentrate here.
Well, I mean,
is she your new...
You know.
Look, leave it at that,
all right?
I don't have a new,
you know.
Meaning she is
your new you know.
Meaning
nothing of the sort.
I don't have
one of those...
You knows.
Don't you think you should
get a new girlfriend?
Look, this is my new
girlfriend right now,
you know,
thanks to you.
At least until I can
bang this bloody book out.
So...Do you mind?
Computer: Next dealer up.
Are you playing poker
on my account?
It's 18 and over.
Oh, look, you're ahead.
How'd you do that?
Luck. And you should quit
while you're ahead.
So, does Gillian approve
of Shazzer?
With a passion.
Yeah, totally.
What?
All right, well, maybe
not completely totally,
but, you know,
she'll come around.
You hope.
Back to work.
Hey.
Little bugger.
You got any wite-out?
