Southland (2009–2013): Season 5, Episode 4 - Under the Big Top - full transcript
John and Lucero settle into their new friendship during a day filled with strange calls. While Ben and Sammy respond to an insane bank robbery call.
Police! Get down! Get out of the way!
- Out of the way! Get out of the way!
Get out of the way! Out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Got him?
No.
Train!
Hey!
They say that working for the L.A.P.D.
is a ticket to the Greatest Show on Earth,
but it isn't always easy
to get to the front row.
Last night was fun, but, uh...
- It was great.
- Yeah.
You want some coffee?
I should get going to work.
Call you sometime.
Sure.
"Harriet Tubman built a
railroad that went underground
to bring black people to Canada."
Close. "C."
I like my first graders better.
They just make shit up.
"Harriet Tubman trained
tigers." That's awesome.
How are you grading me?
Last night? "B."
A "B"?
Maybe you'll get a retest
tonight, if you're lucky.
Okay.
Meet me after work at the station.
I know a great Sushi place.
Maybe with some Sake, you'll
be a little more forgiving.
Yeah. I don't grade on a curve.
I'm a very good student.
Come here.
- I'm a very good student.
- Mm-hmm. We'll see.
I'm gonna get an "A."
You know I'm gonna get an "A."
There's the cow. You push
here, and a cow goes...
Pig says...
No, that's the... this
is... this is the cow.
You want to play? Why
don't you want to play?
You were playing before.
You don't want to play
now, all of a sudden?
You got to keep your pants on, buddy.
Stop it.
How's every... everything?
How's every... does he seem okay?
I'll give the results to the judge,
and they'll let you know.
Look, Officer Bryant,
the whole house needs baby locks,
but the main thing is you've
got to fix the water temperature.
I almost burned myself
washing up in the bathroom.
I know, I know. I've been saving up for it.
And, uh, I mean, he's so little,
he... he can't even reach
the faucets right now anyways.
But whenever he's in the bathroom,
I literally have my eyes
on him the entire time.
I believe you, but one burn
and you could lose your kid.
Find the money.
Thanks.
Quiet down!
- That is close, my friend.
- Dewey!
Listen up, fellas.
We got a string of broken windows
off Beachwood Canyon,
one or two a week for three weeks in a row.
No burglaries. Just vandalism.
Seems to happen either in
the morning or late afternoon.
Detectives are on it. Obviously,
they'd appreciate the help.
- Get those out.
- Broken-window theory.
That's right. Broken
windows lead to real crime.
Assholes think they can
get away with anything.
- What?
- We got a, uh... oh, we got a dry humper
up by Grauman's on Hollywood.
- A frotteur.
- Huh?
Oh, that's just what it's
called. It's a frotteur.
No, it's a pervert who
likes to rub himself...
- It's French.
- That's what it's freaking called!
Whatever you want to call him.
You know, unless you like that
kind of thing, watch your back.
Get those out, too.
Keep your eyes open for the
guy. All right, that's it.
Roll out, be safe.
You and I, Johnny, holding
up the walls of civilization!
- Hey.
- Hey.
So...
sorry. Um, the sitter was late.
No, that's okay. I...
I'm just glad to see you.
So, what do we need to talk about
that we couldn't talk about on the phone?
Look, I... I got your message that day.
You seemed pretty upset.
Well, when your mom
dies, that's what happens.
I was hoping you'd bring him...
Christopher.
So, that's what this is about?
We had an understanding.
Lydia, he's my son, too.
Yeah, and because of the situation,
we agreed that I would raise him.
Lydia, Yvette and I are getting a divorce.
Yeah, um, sorry to hear that,
but Christopher and I are
doing fine by ourselves.
You gonna stand there and tell me that,
with Edith gone, that this is easy?
I have done this three times.
I cannot imagine doing this alone.
So... you come to me with
this, now that it's convenient?
There's nothing convenient with us, Lydia.
It seems like it.
Look, I have loved you
all my life. I [bleep] up.
There is no... nothing
I can do about that now.
But Christopher...
I think about him all the time.
I have bought all these gifts for him,
and they're hid in the closet at work.
I just want to be a
part of his life, Lydia.
This isn't right.
Not for me, and it's not right for him.
Dewey!
Wow. Dewey!
Yo!
Right here, man.
Check this out.
Holy shit!
Look at this, man. Is this awesome or what?
What is this, a welfare check?
That's right. Some dude lives
here with his girlfriend.
She goes back east to visit mom and dad.
He stops answering the
phone, so she calls us.
What do you think?
Well, it ain't good, brother.
I mean, somebody busted in the back door.
The mail's piled high over there,
and there's dust all over the car,
so I called the detectives.
- Some job, huh?
- Are you kidding me?
Somebody gets to mess with
this stuff all day long?
Check this dick hole out, man.
Numb nuts with the nipple
ring here's Ted Josephs.
He's the cat that lives here.
But this bitch... oh, my God!
- Yeah.
- You remember her, right?!
That little actress from that movie
- with the dude with the hatchet hand.
- Yeah, with the chain saw?
That shit was dope!
I didn't see it.
That's good.
Dude, you're missing
out. I'll loan it to you.
Hey, hey, Coop, stay away from that shit.
- What's this?
- Oh!
That's a vat of foulness.
Oh!
Check out the edges on that thing.
Somebody's been hacking
that dude to pieces.
Verisimilitude, baby.
Is that a nipple ring?
I think we just found Ted.
I talked to Waters.
She hasn't heard anything more from Tammi
about her so-called
assault charges against me.
Excellent!
So the new thing is, is I
got to redo the bathroom.
- Why?
- It's not just the hot-water heater.
The guy says that the pipes
are too close together.
What does that even mean?
What it means is I got to redo
all the plumbing in that place.
The court evaluator came by today,
said that the water is too hot
and it's not safe for the kid.
Does that mean I have to redo my plumbing?
When I bought the place, they sold me
this whole line of bullshit
about how it's the best building materials,
and the... and granite countertops.
You gave me the same line of bullshit!
I bought the same house, remember?
Hey, you got a bargain.
You should be thanking me.
You paid like half of
what I paid for that place.
How do you know how much
I paid for the house?
Did the realtor tell you
how much I paid for my house?
Wait...
It's not funny. Did...
did she tell you how much?
Hold on a second. I don't
know what you're talking about.
Hello.
What? No.
Wait. What did you say his name was?
Charles Hamilton?
All right. I'll be right there.
- God damn it.
- Seriously!
They're human bones, all
right. Not that old either.
Hmm. And that other stuff in there?
Could that be our missing guy?
Yeah. Looks like an adult male.
Look.
Is that the cause of death?
Let's hope. Ideally,
death before dismemberment.
Hey, Lydia.
Hey, Annette.
- How's the kid?
- Loud.
I know. What were we thinking, right?
Trade mine in, get me a refund.
Listen. Look at this.
Of course we can't say for sure yet,
but this could be what
they used to cut him up.
Been cleaned recently.
Smells like bleach. We found
it in the bathroom closet.
- Any idea where he was killed?
- Not yet.
Oh, my God, you guys are here.
Is Ted okay? Is he okay?
I'm the one who called you.
I called you. I live here.
That's my boyfriend.
Is he okay?
Okay, let's go.
All right, guys, back it up.
Back up. Back up. We
want to keep this clear.
Okay, come on. You got
somewhere to go, go there.
- You see anything?
- No.
- Did you see what happened?
- Nope.
How about you?
No. No, it's a shame.
I walk my dog here every
morning. It's a lovely store.
Why'd they do it?
Any available units to handle
an ADW in progress at 2316 Sierra Drive?
P/R reports screams coming from...
- That's right up the hill.
- Yeah.
... and observed possible man with a knife.
Unit to handle, identify.
A57, show us responding.
E.T.A. 60 seconds.
Please redirect another
unit to our vandalism call.
Hey, Officer Bryant. Thanks for coming.
He didn't have any money.
When I said I was gonna call
the cops, he said to call you.
- Thanks, Adeline.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, Officer Bryant.
I'm glad to see you here.
Somebody stole my wallet.
You kidding me, huh?
Hey, uh...
Charles Hamilton.
Officer Ben Sherman.
Have you found Ted?
Uh, no, not yet, but we're
doing everything we can.
Oh, my God. I... is he hurt?
We really don't know much yet.
I can't believe that this is happening.
When was the last time you spoke to Ted?
Um, before I went to Massachusetts,
which was eight days ago.
Any problems that we should be aware of?
Drugs, problems at
work, anything like that?
No. Everything's been great.
Um, work is awesome.
He doesn't do drugs or
anything weird like that.
Um, he has a ton of friends.
Everybody loves him...
Um, well, except... I don't know.
I'm sure it's nothing.
No, everything helps.
Yeah, okay. Um...
Well, it's just so stupid
that I can't even believe
that I'm telling you,
but, um, there is this girl.
She's kind of like a
friend of a friend, and, um,
Ted had told her that he'd
help her with some body parts
for some dumb movie that
her friend was making.
And then, when he couldn't
make it, she freaked out,
and she left all these, like,
crazy posts on his Facebook page.
Um, I can... I can show
them to you if you want.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, okay.
I have them all right on there... yeah.
- Okay.
- "What's wrong with you?
"You promised you'd be here.
I'm gonna f'ing kill
you if you let me down."
Have you ever met this girl?
Have I? No. I... I've never met her.
But, um, Ted had, you know,
mentioned her a few times
and, I don't know, said she's nuts.
And I... I guess that she
called him a few times, also.
"I can never trust you. Your time is up."
But... but that can't
mean anything, right?
What's this girl's full name?
Belinda. Um, Belinda Cargrove.
Why aren't you at school?
The kids at the school... they fight.
Kids at the school... they fight,
the whole thing, right?
But you... you got to...
you got to learn how to fight back or...
or run faster or something.
What's with the car magazine?
It's not a car magazine.
It's a special publication about Mustangs.
Mustang's a great car.
I know that. My dad
drives a Shelby Mustang.
- Really? What year?
- 2012...
Super Snake.
2012? Really?
Yes, really.
Do you know when they
made the first Super Snake?
Mm-hmm.
1967.
You know why they made it?
Yeah. Uh, so Carroll Shelby could,
- uh, test out new tires.
- Yeah.
Do you know how many they made?
Yeah, I do. One.
- Do you know...
- Okay, I hate to bring this
very important conversation to an end,
but somebody's got to get home
so that their foster mom doesn't worry.
Ow!
What's... what's with the shoulder?
It... I... I told you. It's
the kids at Mrs. Clinton's.
They're so... so stupid.
All right. Well, good news is
you get to ride in a Crown Vic.
Mm-hmm.
It's the Super Snake of cop cars.
Got her.
That's the house.
My kids looked in the window,
and they saw blood and... and knives.
- I... it could be anything.
- Hey, you stay here.
Stay here!
A57 requesting backup.
Clear!
Drop it! Drop the knife!
Drop it!
What? What is it?
It is goat.
Goat? That's it?
Hey! Hey.
I told you to stay back.
Want a bite?
No. Lost my appetite.
It is goat.
Where's your burger?
Oh, come on.
Don't tell me that...
that upset your delicate sensibilities.
Man, did you see that thing?
Where do you think meat comes from?
Supermarket in a styrofoam
tray, wrapped in plastic.
Come on.
Not that dude's tub.
Try it.
Really?
Try it, please.
Come here!
Come on.
Hey, we got something.
- That's all there is!
- You lying bitch!
- Hey!
- Your job is to make money every day!
- Hey!
- I gave him his money!
Break it up! You, over here!
You, up on the curb...
let's see some I.D. now.
- You over there, go over here.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Look down here. Just separate.
- Move down here. Down, move down.
- Let's see some I.D.
- All right.
Slowly.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Put your hands behind your head.
A57, requesting wants and
warrants on Jameson, Gus,
12-24-1962,
male, white, black, brown, 6', 187 pounds.
Edward-6661829.
Call it, partner.
I'm gonna guess, uh,
concealed weapon, Officer Cooper.
Oh! Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Officer Lucero,
you win the Viking range
and the washer and dryer!
Thank you very much.
Ha!
Uhp! And the bonus round.
Trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
That's mine!
You told me you lost it, you bitch!
Don't you talk to me that way out here.
Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch!
A57, you have a code 6-Charles-187 suspect
- at your location.
- Copy.
Gus Jameson!
You are the proud owner
of a warrant for murder.
- Murder?
- Who?
Who?
From the liquor store?
- Unh-unh!
- The one with the...
Unh-unh! The guy in
the Peruvian restaurant?
- No, I know I've seen him since...
- You sure?
- He got a brother.
- I've seen him.
Pimps say the darndest things.
Let's go, Gus.
Who the [bleep] is it?
Uh, Detective Adams and Robinson.
We spoke on the phone.
Right, right. Come in.
I just woke up. You want some coffee?
No. We're good.
So, what happened?
Is Ted in some kind of
trouble or something?
Um, we're not sure.
When was the last time you spoke to him?
I don't know, like three weeks ago, six.
What a dick.
Oh, yeah? What makes him a dick?
How should I know? You're a man.
Why don't you tell me?
Why do guys like him have to
[bleep] everything that moves?
Didn't get laid enough in high school?
Trying to impress their fathers?
I think what he meant was why
were you so angry with Ted?
Because I'm sleeping with him,
and then I find out he has a girlfriend
and he's supposed to,
like, be with her and shit.
So you were upset with him
'cause he was cheating on you?
I actually didn't give much of a shit.
I'm not married to the guy.
He wasn't cheating on me.
I just felt bad for the other girl.
So you were upset about something else?
If you think someone did something to Ted,
there's a lot of people
with way more reason than me.
Ted owed gambling debts,
like, all over town.
He couldn't place a bet anywhere.
He owed dealers money, too.
So, he does drugs?
Yeah. Cocaine, pills, and
weird shit like Angel Dust.
Who the [bleep] does that?
Hey, you, uh... you
mind if I hold on to this?
No. You can keep it.
So, Belinda, where have you been
for the past couple days?
Um...
Okay, you may not remember where you were,
but we can definitely find out.
We can check your credit
cards, surveillance cameras.
Go ahead. Do I look like
someone who has a lot of secrets?
I mean, half of Hollywood
has seen my [bleep].
Okay, then you're giving us
your permission to check
your credit cards, right?
Yeah. If I say yes, will you guys leave?
Hey, drive slow.
Beat it.
What was with that kid, huh?
Oh... Charles!
He was there when we arrested his dad.
It wasn't pretty. His, uh, dad got shot.
The guy he rolled with
got killed... ugly.
So, anyways, I try to visit him
every once in a while,
but you know how it is.
I... I don't seem to have any time anymore.
Yeah.
I don't know. I wish I could do more.
You know how it is.
Look what you went through for that girl.
No, that was one time.
And me getting so wrapped
up... it's not a good idea.
Whatever happened to that girl anyway?
She settled down in Texas okay?
Yeah. We stay in touch.
She's doing good, you know?
She's gonna graduate. It's crazy.
- Really?
- [Bleep] No.
I have absolutely no idea what she's doing.
I did my job. It's over.
She's somebody else's problem now.
I promise you, she's no one's problem now.
And that kid Charles...
he's gonna be no one's problem either.
You try to get him in Explorers?
Can you imagine that kid?
He'd shoot himself in
the foot with a fake gun.
They got some gifted program
at the school. I don't know.
He's smart, but, uh...
he's got some kind of learning
disability or something.
Any available unit, we
have a bank 211 in progress.
Suspects are driving a black Volvo S.U.V.
Heading south on alvarado.
Unit to handle, identify.
A36, show us responding.
- I think she's the one.
- I don't know.
She can barely tell you
what day of the week it is.
Yeah, but crazy doesn't mean dumb.
To me, it seems like a gang thing.
I mean, she already said he
owed debt to drug dealers.
Perhaps he's dealing, owes
the MS-13, Armenian Power.
It's like they're sending a message.
You know, "you [bleep]
with us, we'll boil you."
No. This is a crime of pure rage.
Yeah, but how long does that rage last?
First, you got to kill him, chop him up,
clean up the blood, put him
in the vat. It's just...
It can last a long time, clearly.
All units, pursuit suspects now heading
east on Third Street. Be advised.
This is it, this is it, this is it.
A36 turning south onto Westlake.
Show us in pursuit of a black Volvo S.U.V.
What's he throwing, man?
He's throwing money out the car.
Get out of the way!
- Jesus.
- Passing Maryland. Get out of the road!
- Get out of the street!
- Pigs!
Jesus Christ.
[Bleep] was that?
I don't know. You want me to pull him over?
Turning west on Sixth.
Oh! It smells like piss!
Jesus Christ.
Who is this guy, man?
Robin Hood of South Central?
He knows he's going down.
He's flinging evidence all over the street.
No, no, no, man. They planned it this way.
- Rob the savings accounts of people who have...
- Coop!
Who work and give it
away to people on welfare.
Check this out, man.
I heard it's the Nation of Islam.
Everyone says they're wearing those ties.
No, it's not the Nation of Islam.
They wear ties. Am I right?
Yes, they wear ties, but
it's not the Nation of Islam.
Then who are they, Columbo?
A baby carriage!
Out of the way! Out of
the way! Out of the street!
Hey!
Why would he throw money at us?
Turning back onto Westlake.
[Bleep] is this the plan?
211 suspects now north on Westlake.
A36. We're blocked.
Get off the car!
Where'd he go?
Shit.
Come on, this way.
Police! Get out of the way! Out of the way!
You all work hard! Get
a little for yourselves!
Where'd these people come from?!
You kidding? It's been all over
- Twitter, YouTube, the news.
- Out of the way! Get out of the way!
People are lined up for blocks!
- Freeze, police!
- Freeze, freeze!
Freeze!
Out of the way!
Shit.
Out of the way!
People gonna be pissed that this is over.
Buddy said people were in line
for miles to get their share.
If only you knew the history with banks
in this neighborhood,
with redlining, foreclosures,
and interest rates
being charged twice as high.
I'm going to Red Lobster
tonight, mother[bleep].
We got enough to do without YouTube.
So, check it out.
Ted has credit-card debt.
$13,000 on one, $20,000 to another.
They don't kill you for credit-card debt.
Yet.
But according to Belinda,
he's also in debt to people who do,
like drug dealers, and he's tapped out.
You know, a lot of people owe money,
and I'm not buying Belinda's whole act.
Ah, look.
She made a $240 purchase at
a restaurant-supply store.
Guess what she bought?
A pony?
- A new car?
- Are you done?
I guess.
A 35-gallon vat.
Oh. So she cooks.
Look, she's not that big.
Do you really think she
can carry a vat that heavy?
I think that girl can persuade anybody
to do what she wants them to.
Freeze!
Stop running!
Police! Out of the way!
Get down! Get out of the way!
- Get out of the way!
- Out of the way!
- Get out of the way!
- Out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Got him?
No.
Train!
Hey!
Police!
Police!
Back, back. Get out of the way!
Police!
Police! Get out of the way!
Police! Freeze, freeze!
Put your hands up!
Get up! Back, behind me!
Turn around... slowly, slowly!
Hands up, hands up!
All right, down on the floor.
Down! Hands at your side.
Don't move.
You hear me? Don't move.
Don't you [bleep] move...
I told you, I don't know who used my card.
I... I don't keep track of shit like that.
I just know I didn't
buy a giant [bleep] vat.
I've never even been to that store.
So when we pull up the security footage,
we're not gonna see you there at all?
I don't know what you're gonna see.
I don't even know what's going on.
Oh, my God, I cannot believe Ted is gone.
I mean, you wouldn't be
asking me these questions
if he wasn't dead. I'm not stupid.
And now you think I did something to him,
like I hit him with some
giant vat or something!
I don't even know what kind of vat that is!
God, you guys are assholes.
Well, now you want to
start trying to remember
where you've been for the past eight days?
Or you want to keep calling us names?
I told you, I don't know.
I had a photo shoot on Tuesday...
or Wednesday.
And there were, you know, some parties.
And then I had this
audition for this website.
God, please don't tell my mom.
You know what? You might be
right about her after all.
Hey, I've been wrong before.
Adams.
What?!
Man...
O hola. Thank you. Please come in.
I have the keys.
Uh, the man's never home,
but he leaves me money.
But this time, look.
Right next to my money was
this, plus an extra $200.
"By the time you read
this, I will be gone."
You wait outside while
we look around, okay?
- I keep the $200, verdad?
- Yeah.
Hello!
Los Angeles police!
Hello!
Hello!
Hey.
Hello!
Coop.
We got him.
Hey.
A57 requesting an R.A.
Unit to our location.
We have a victim conscious and breathing
with a minor gunshot wound.
It's not your day, huh?
Something in particular?
My, uh... my wife left.
I'm sorry.
That sucks.
I got home and...
the house... sounds different.
I took off my shoes in the hallway,
and that empty sound...
I didn't want to hear it again.
Hmm.
Maybe if she left, it
means she isn't the one.
Maybe the right one stays.
What if she was the right one?
What if she was the only one?
And I spend the rest of
my life in this empty house
with my shoes in the hall
and the refrigerator humming
and the clock ticking.
The phone rings, and it
sounds like a bomb going off.
Maybe you should get a carpet.
Coop...
Come on. Let's get you to the hospital.
Come on. We'll get you checked out.
You lived here long?
20 years.
Yeah, what kind of work you do?
Engineer. I design elevators.
Really?
You never know who you can trust, do you?
Give your heart to the wrong
person, and it's all over.
Ah. It's a miracle!
Ted, risen from the dead.
Hallelujah! It's a resurrection.
Let's go get this fool.
Hey, there... Ted Josephs.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Left hand on top of your
head, on top of your head.
You called the cops.
You said that Belinda was this gross girl
and that she was so
crazy and slutty and weird
that we'd be doing the world a favor.
So you said.
Do you want to confess now or later?
She already told us damn near everything...
about you buying the bones,
borrowing Belinda's credit
card, the debt you can't pay.
I thought I could trust you.
It all seemed like a movie
until I actually saw her.
He asked me to watch her house...
... And make sure she didn't go anywhere.
And that's what it took for you to realize
that this was a bad idea? I don't know.
I mean, I thought Belinda seemed cool
'cause I've always wanted
to be artsy like that.
She kind of reminded
me of one of those girls
that I would have totally wanted
to be friends with in high school.
Hey, faking your own death is not a crime.
Yeah, but stealing
Belinda's credit card is.
How could you do this to me?!
Stop yelling at me!
Easy, man.
You always yell. She just seemed so nice.
What are you talking about?
How did she seem nice?
She was watering her neighbor's plants,
and then she fed a stray
cat outside her house.
That's not a stray. That's her cat.
That's not so nice. You think
serial killers don't feed their cats?
So she should go to prison for the
rest of her life for feeding her cat?
You're a [bleep] idiot, just like she is.
Everyone seems nice, you [bleep]wad!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bet he seemed nice when
you first met him, too, huh?
Funny, for such a genius,
you're awfully handcuffed.
Maybe me and Belinda will celebrate tonight
with dinner at Tamashiro.
That's my restaurant. I took you there.
Oh, I'll be sure to get the uni.
Okay, enough, all right?!
Go! You go before I arrest you, too.
Bitch!
Shut up!
No.
I hate it when you're right.
What are you doing, sir?
Hey, buddy, how you doing?
May I text my wife to come and get the dog?
We got it.
Put your hands behind your back, please.
Why'd you do it?
It made me feel surprised.
You make all these great plans,
and then you wake up one day,
and you realize you worked away
the part of you that can enjoy any of it,
worked away that part that
can be surprised, delighted.
You killed it.
But this makes me happy.
Every time the glass breaks,
it feels like... something.
No matter how many times
I do it, it feels new.
I envy you.
You probably have more
excitement in one day
than I've had in my entire life.
Let's go.
They find anything out about the bank guys?
Not that I know.
I think they were just some guys.
Nobody knows whether they
planned on giving the money away
or just decided when they
knew they were getting caught.
I heard 30 bucks have been returned so far.
They said the money's marked.
They always say that. I doubt it.
Happened so fast, and
what are they gonna do?
Anybody gets caught, they just say
they found it somewhere, right?
You got it all figured out, huh?
Yeah! Hey, I got a mortgage with that bank.
I was one week late, they
sent a red letter threatening
to take my house, my kid's home.
I won't feel too bad if someone
has a nice meal off them,
- maybe, uh, pays their rent.
- Yeah. I hear you.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey, Brooke!
- Hey, Sammy.
Hi. Very nice to see you here.
- You, too.
- Yeah.
Oh, come on.
What?
You know what?
I got this. You two have fun.
Nice to see you.
Thanks.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, God. What happened to your face?
You should see the other
guy. How was your day?
- Good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Those little ones behave?
- Uh, you know?
- More or less?
- More or less.
- Hey, what are you doing?
I thought Officer Bryant
told you to go home.
I came to report that my wallet got stolen.
He said you'd take the report.
Your wallet got stolen?
- Yeah.
- What happened?
I had like $1,000 in the wallet.
Oh.
Now I have nothing for dinner
and no money.
Is that so? No money for dinner, huh?
What do you think?
Come on.
All right. How about you
go to dinner with us tonight
just this one time, okay?
All right, you know?
- Hi. I'm Brooke.
- This is Brooke.
- Charles.
- Charles.
You like Belinda.
She was a lovely girl.
Everyone thought so except you.
Mm-hmm. Those naked
pictures of her were lovely.
Oh, you got a dirty, dirty mind.
She's a sweet girl.
Everybody's got to make a living.
So Christopher has a daddy after all.
Does it have anything
to do with the young lady
- screaming in our parking lot?
- It's none of your business.
You and your secrets, man.
Excuse me?
We've been working together
for what, a year now?
You met my family. You've been to my house.
You know everything
there is to know about me.
Yeah, and I didn't ask.
You chose to share that information.
You want to shut me out,
that's fine. That's fine.
Here's what I see.
You had an affair with a married man.
That was a mistake.
But now you have a son,
and that man wants to
be in your son's life.
And if you shut him out
out of spite or ego,
whatever it is you're feeling,
that's gonna be your next mistake
and possibly the biggest
mistake of your life,
when your son can never forgive you.
Listen, I'm your friend,
so I can tell you when I
think you're screwing up.
Doesn't mean I'm right.
It just means I care too much
about you to keep my mouth shut.
I don't even need any of this stuff.
Well, Walmart... they
accept returns for cash.
I'm just saying.
Hey, it's Sammy Bryant.
Yeah.
Let's go ahead and get
started on that bathroom work.
Yeah, thanks.
... With handfuls of cash as they attempted
to flee police authorities.
With more on this story, we now...
- Out of the way! Get out of the way!
Get out of the way! Out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Got him?
No.
Train!
Hey!
They say that working for the L.A.P.D.
is a ticket to the Greatest Show on Earth,
but it isn't always easy
to get to the front row.
Last night was fun, but, uh...
- It was great.
- Yeah.
You want some coffee?
I should get going to work.
Call you sometime.
Sure.
"Harriet Tubman built a
railroad that went underground
to bring black people to Canada."
Close. "C."
I like my first graders better.
They just make shit up.
"Harriet Tubman trained
tigers." That's awesome.
How are you grading me?
Last night? "B."
A "B"?
Maybe you'll get a retest
tonight, if you're lucky.
Okay.
Meet me after work at the station.
I know a great Sushi place.
Maybe with some Sake, you'll
be a little more forgiving.
Yeah. I don't grade on a curve.
I'm a very good student.
Come here.
- I'm a very good student.
- Mm-hmm. We'll see.
I'm gonna get an "A."
You know I'm gonna get an "A."
There's the cow. You push
here, and a cow goes...
Pig says...
No, that's the... this
is... this is the cow.
You want to play? Why
don't you want to play?
You were playing before.
You don't want to play
now, all of a sudden?
You got to keep your pants on, buddy.
Stop it.
How's every... everything?
How's every... does he seem okay?
I'll give the results to the judge,
and they'll let you know.
Look, Officer Bryant,
the whole house needs baby locks,
but the main thing is you've
got to fix the water temperature.
I almost burned myself
washing up in the bathroom.
I know, I know. I've been saving up for it.
And, uh, I mean, he's so little,
he... he can't even reach
the faucets right now anyways.
But whenever he's in the bathroom,
I literally have my eyes
on him the entire time.
I believe you, but one burn
and you could lose your kid.
Find the money.
Thanks.
Quiet down!
- That is close, my friend.
- Dewey!
Listen up, fellas.
We got a string of broken windows
off Beachwood Canyon,
one or two a week for three weeks in a row.
No burglaries. Just vandalism.
Seems to happen either in
the morning or late afternoon.
Detectives are on it. Obviously,
they'd appreciate the help.
- Get those out.
- Broken-window theory.
That's right. Broken
windows lead to real crime.
Assholes think they can
get away with anything.
- What?
- We got a, uh... oh, we got a dry humper
up by Grauman's on Hollywood.
- A frotteur.
- Huh?
Oh, that's just what it's
called. It's a frotteur.
No, it's a pervert who
likes to rub himself...
- It's French.
- That's what it's freaking called!
Whatever you want to call him.
You know, unless you like that
kind of thing, watch your back.
Get those out, too.
Keep your eyes open for the
guy. All right, that's it.
Roll out, be safe.
You and I, Johnny, holding
up the walls of civilization!
- Hey.
- Hey.
So...
sorry. Um, the sitter was late.
No, that's okay. I...
I'm just glad to see you.
So, what do we need to talk about
that we couldn't talk about on the phone?
Look, I... I got your message that day.
You seemed pretty upset.
Well, when your mom
dies, that's what happens.
I was hoping you'd bring him...
Christopher.
So, that's what this is about?
We had an understanding.
Lydia, he's my son, too.
Yeah, and because of the situation,
we agreed that I would raise him.
Lydia, Yvette and I are getting a divorce.
Yeah, um, sorry to hear that,
but Christopher and I are
doing fine by ourselves.
You gonna stand there and tell me that,
with Edith gone, that this is easy?
I have done this three times.
I cannot imagine doing this alone.
So... you come to me with
this, now that it's convenient?
There's nothing convenient with us, Lydia.
It seems like it.
Look, I have loved you
all my life. I [bleep] up.
There is no... nothing
I can do about that now.
But Christopher...
I think about him all the time.
I have bought all these gifts for him,
and they're hid in the closet at work.
I just want to be a
part of his life, Lydia.
This isn't right.
Not for me, and it's not right for him.
Dewey!
Wow. Dewey!
Yo!
Right here, man.
Check this out.
Holy shit!
Look at this, man. Is this awesome or what?
What is this, a welfare check?
That's right. Some dude lives
here with his girlfriend.
She goes back east to visit mom and dad.
He stops answering the
phone, so she calls us.
What do you think?
Well, it ain't good, brother.
I mean, somebody busted in the back door.
The mail's piled high over there,
and there's dust all over the car,
so I called the detectives.
- Some job, huh?
- Are you kidding me?
Somebody gets to mess with
this stuff all day long?
Check this dick hole out, man.
Numb nuts with the nipple
ring here's Ted Josephs.
He's the cat that lives here.
But this bitch... oh, my God!
- Yeah.
- You remember her, right?!
That little actress from that movie
- with the dude with the hatchet hand.
- Yeah, with the chain saw?
That shit was dope!
I didn't see it.
That's good.
Dude, you're missing
out. I'll loan it to you.
Hey, hey, Coop, stay away from that shit.
- What's this?
- Oh!
That's a vat of foulness.
Oh!
Check out the edges on that thing.
Somebody's been hacking
that dude to pieces.
Verisimilitude, baby.
Is that a nipple ring?
I think we just found Ted.
I talked to Waters.
She hasn't heard anything more from Tammi
about her so-called
assault charges against me.
Excellent!
So the new thing is, is I
got to redo the bathroom.
- Why?
- It's not just the hot-water heater.
The guy says that the pipes
are too close together.
What does that even mean?
What it means is I got to redo
all the plumbing in that place.
The court evaluator came by today,
said that the water is too hot
and it's not safe for the kid.
Does that mean I have to redo my plumbing?
When I bought the place, they sold me
this whole line of bullshit
about how it's the best building materials,
and the... and granite countertops.
You gave me the same line of bullshit!
I bought the same house, remember?
Hey, you got a bargain.
You should be thanking me.
You paid like half of
what I paid for that place.
How do you know how much
I paid for the house?
Did the realtor tell you
how much I paid for my house?
Wait...
It's not funny. Did...
did she tell you how much?
Hold on a second. I don't
know what you're talking about.
Hello.
What? No.
Wait. What did you say his name was?
Charles Hamilton?
All right. I'll be right there.
- God damn it.
- Seriously!
They're human bones, all
right. Not that old either.
Hmm. And that other stuff in there?
Could that be our missing guy?
Yeah. Looks like an adult male.
Look.
Is that the cause of death?
Let's hope. Ideally,
death before dismemberment.
Hey, Lydia.
Hey, Annette.
- How's the kid?
- Loud.
I know. What were we thinking, right?
Trade mine in, get me a refund.
Listen. Look at this.
Of course we can't say for sure yet,
but this could be what
they used to cut him up.
Been cleaned recently.
Smells like bleach. We found
it in the bathroom closet.
- Any idea where he was killed?
- Not yet.
Oh, my God, you guys are here.
Is Ted okay? Is he okay?
I'm the one who called you.
I called you. I live here.
That's my boyfriend.
Is he okay?
Okay, let's go.
All right, guys, back it up.
Back up. Back up. We
want to keep this clear.
Okay, come on. You got
somewhere to go, go there.
- You see anything?
- No.
- Did you see what happened?
- Nope.
How about you?
No. No, it's a shame.
I walk my dog here every
morning. It's a lovely store.
Why'd they do it?
Any available units to handle
an ADW in progress at 2316 Sierra Drive?
P/R reports screams coming from...
- That's right up the hill.
- Yeah.
... and observed possible man with a knife.
Unit to handle, identify.
A57, show us responding.
E.T.A. 60 seconds.
Please redirect another
unit to our vandalism call.
Hey, Officer Bryant. Thanks for coming.
He didn't have any money.
When I said I was gonna call
the cops, he said to call you.
- Thanks, Adeline.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, Officer Bryant.
I'm glad to see you here.
Somebody stole my wallet.
You kidding me, huh?
Hey, uh...
Charles Hamilton.
Officer Ben Sherman.
Have you found Ted?
Uh, no, not yet, but we're
doing everything we can.
Oh, my God. I... is he hurt?
We really don't know much yet.
I can't believe that this is happening.
When was the last time you spoke to Ted?
Um, before I went to Massachusetts,
which was eight days ago.
Any problems that we should be aware of?
Drugs, problems at
work, anything like that?
No. Everything's been great.
Um, work is awesome.
He doesn't do drugs or
anything weird like that.
Um, he has a ton of friends.
Everybody loves him...
Um, well, except... I don't know.
I'm sure it's nothing.
No, everything helps.
Yeah, okay. Um...
Well, it's just so stupid
that I can't even believe
that I'm telling you,
but, um, there is this girl.
She's kind of like a
friend of a friend, and, um,
Ted had told her that he'd
help her with some body parts
for some dumb movie that
her friend was making.
And then, when he couldn't
make it, she freaked out,
and she left all these, like,
crazy posts on his Facebook page.
Um, I can... I can show
them to you if you want.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, okay.
I have them all right on there... yeah.
- Okay.
- "What's wrong with you?
"You promised you'd be here.
I'm gonna f'ing kill
you if you let me down."
Have you ever met this girl?
Have I? No. I... I've never met her.
But, um, Ted had, you know,
mentioned her a few times
and, I don't know, said she's nuts.
And I... I guess that she
called him a few times, also.
"I can never trust you. Your time is up."
But... but that can't
mean anything, right?
What's this girl's full name?
Belinda. Um, Belinda Cargrove.
Why aren't you at school?
The kids at the school... they fight.
Kids at the school... they fight,
the whole thing, right?
But you... you got to...
you got to learn how to fight back or...
or run faster or something.
What's with the car magazine?
It's not a car magazine.
It's a special publication about Mustangs.
Mustang's a great car.
I know that. My dad
drives a Shelby Mustang.
- Really? What year?
- 2012...
Super Snake.
2012? Really?
Yes, really.
Do you know when they
made the first Super Snake?
Mm-hmm.
1967.
You know why they made it?
Yeah. Uh, so Carroll Shelby could,
- uh, test out new tires.
- Yeah.
Do you know how many they made?
Yeah, I do. One.
- Do you know...
- Okay, I hate to bring this
very important conversation to an end,
but somebody's got to get home
so that their foster mom doesn't worry.
Ow!
What's... what's with the shoulder?
It... I... I told you. It's
the kids at Mrs. Clinton's.
They're so... so stupid.
All right. Well, good news is
you get to ride in a Crown Vic.
Mm-hmm.
It's the Super Snake of cop cars.
Got her.
That's the house.
My kids looked in the window,
and they saw blood and... and knives.
- I... it could be anything.
- Hey, you stay here.
Stay here!
A57 requesting backup.
Clear!
Drop it! Drop the knife!
Drop it!
What? What is it?
It is goat.
Goat? That's it?
Hey! Hey.
I told you to stay back.
Want a bite?
No. Lost my appetite.
It is goat.
Where's your burger?
Oh, come on.
Don't tell me that...
that upset your delicate sensibilities.
Man, did you see that thing?
Where do you think meat comes from?
Supermarket in a styrofoam
tray, wrapped in plastic.
Come on.
Not that dude's tub.
Try it.
Really?
Try it, please.
Come here!
Come on.
Hey, we got something.
- That's all there is!
- You lying bitch!
- Hey!
- Your job is to make money every day!
- Hey!
- I gave him his money!
Break it up! You, over here!
You, up on the curb...
let's see some I.D. now.
- You over there, go over here.
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Look down here. Just separate.
- Move down here. Down, move down.
- Let's see some I.D.
- All right.
Slowly.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
Put your hands behind your head.
A57, requesting wants and
warrants on Jameson, Gus,
12-24-1962,
male, white, black, brown, 6', 187 pounds.
Edward-6661829.
Call it, partner.
I'm gonna guess, uh,
concealed weapon, Officer Cooper.
Oh! Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Officer Lucero,
you win the Viking range
and the washer and dryer!
Thank you very much.
Ha!
Uhp! And the bonus round.
Trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
That's mine!
You told me you lost it, you bitch!
Don't you talk to me that way out here.
Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch!
A57, you have a code 6-Charles-187 suspect
- at your location.
- Copy.
Gus Jameson!
You are the proud owner
of a warrant for murder.
- Murder?
- Who?
Who?
From the liquor store?
- Unh-unh!
- The one with the...
Unh-unh! The guy in
the Peruvian restaurant?
- No, I know I've seen him since...
- You sure?
- He got a brother.
- I've seen him.
Pimps say the darndest things.
Let's go, Gus.
Who the [bleep] is it?
Uh, Detective Adams and Robinson.
We spoke on the phone.
Right, right. Come in.
I just woke up. You want some coffee?
No. We're good.
So, what happened?
Is Ted in some kind of
trouble or something?
Um, we're not sure.
When was the last time you spoke to him?
I don't know, like three weeks ago, six.
What a dick.
Oh, yeah? What makes him a dick?
How should I know? You're a man.
Why don't you tell me?
Why do guys like him have to
[bleep] everything that moves?
Didn't get laid enough in high school?
Trying to impress their fathers?
I think what he meant was why
were you so angry with Ted?
Because I'm sleeping with him,
and then I find out he has a girlfriend
and he's supposed to,
like, be with her and shit.
So you were upset with him
'cause he was cheating on you?
I actually didn't give much of a shit.
I'm not married to the guy.
He wasn't cheating on me.
I just felt bad for the other girl.
So you were upset about something else?
If you think someone did something to Ted,
there's a lot of people
with way more reason than me.
Ted owed gambling debts,
like, all over town.
He couldn't place a bet anywhere.
He owed dealers money, too.
So, he does drugs?
Yeah. Cocaine, pills, and
weird shit like Angel Dust.
Who the [bleep] does that?
Hey, you, uh... you
mind if I hold on to this?
No. You can keep it.
So, Belinda, where have you been
for the past couple days?
Um...
Okay, you may not remember where you were,
but we can definitely find out.
We can check your credit
cards, surveillance cameras.
Go ahead. Do I look like
someone who has a lot of secrets?
I mean, half of Hollywood
has seen my [bleep].
Okay, then you're giving us
your permission to check
your credit cards, right?
Yeah. If I say yes, will you guys leave?
Hey, drive slow.
Beat it.
What was with that kid, huh?
Oh... Charles!
He was there when we arrested his dad.
It wasn't pretty. His, uh, dad got shot.
The guy he rolled with
got killed... ugly.
So, anyways, I try to visit him
every once in a while,
but you know how it is.
I... I don't seem to have any time anymore.
Yeah.
I don't know. I wish I could do more.
You know how it is.
Look what you went through for that girl.
No, that was one time.
And me getting so wrapped
up... it's not a good idea.
Whatever happened to that girl anyway?
She settled down in Texas okay?
Yeah. We stay in touch.
She's doing good, you know?
She's gonna graduate. It's crazy.
- Really?
- [Bleep] No.
I have absolutely no idea what she's doing.
I did my job. It's over.
She's somebody else's problem now.
I promise you, she's no one's problem now.
And that kid Charles...
he's gonna be no one's problem either.
You try to get him in Explorers?
Can you imagine that kid?
He'd shoot himself in
the foot with a fake gun.
They got some gifted program
at the school. I don't know.
He's smart, but, uh...
he's got some kind of learning
disability or something.
Any available unit, we
have a bank 211 in progress.
Suspects are driving a black Volvo S.U.V.
Heading south on alvarado.
Unit to handle, identify.
A36, show us responding.
- I think she's the one.
- I don't know.
She can barely tell you
what day of the week it is.
Yeah, but crazy doesn't mean dumb.
To me, it seems like a gang thing.
I mean, she already said he
owed debt to drug dealers.
Perhaps he's dealing, owes
the MS-13, Armenian Power.
It's like they're sending a message.
You know, "you [bleep]
with us, we'll boil you."
No. This is a crime of pure rage.
Yeah, but how long does that rage last?
First, you got to kill him, chop him up,
clean up the blood, put him
in the vat. It's just...
It can last a long time, clearly.
All units, pursuit suspects now heading
east on Third Street. Be advised.
This is it, this is it, this is it.
A36 turning south onto Westlake.
Show us in pursuit of a black Volvo S.U.V.
What's he throwing, man?
He's throwing money out the car.
Get out of the way!
- Jesus.
- Passing Maryland. Get out of the road!
- Get out of the street!
- Pigs!
Jesus Christ.
[Bleep] was that?
I don't know. You want me to pull him over?
Turning west on Sixth.
Oh! It smells like piss!
Jesus Christ.
Who is this guy, man?
Robin Hood of South Central?
He knows he's going down.
He's flinging evidence all over the street.
No, no, no, man. They planned it this way.
- Rob the savings accounts of people who have...
- Coop!
Who work and give it
away to people on welfare.
Check this out, man.
I heard it's the Nation of Islam.
Everyone says they're wearing those ties.
No, it's not the Nation of Islam.
They wear ties. Am I right?
Yes, they wear ties, but
it's not the Nation of Islam.
Then who are they, Columbo?
A baby carriage!
Out of the way! Out of
the way! Out of the street!
Hey!
Why would he throw money at us?
Turning back onto Westlake.
[Bleep] is this the plan?
211 suspects now north on Westlake.
A36. We're blocked.
Get off the car!
Where'd he go?
Shit.
Come on, this way.
Police! Get out of the way! Out of the way!
You all work hard! Get
a little for yourselves!
Where'd these people come from?!
You kidding? It's been all over
- Twitter, YouTube, the news.
- Out of the way! Get out of the way!
People are lined up for blocks!
- Freeze, police!
- Freeze, freeze!
Freeze!
Out of the way!
Shit.
Out of the way!
People gonna be pissed that this is over.
Buddy said people were in line
for miles to get their share.
If only you knew the history with banks
in this neighborhood,
with redlining, foreclosures,
and interest rates
being charged twice as high.
I'm going to Red Lobster
tonight, mother[bleep].
We got enough to do without YouTube.
So, check it out.
Ted has credit-card debt.
$13,000 on one, $20,000 to another.
They don't kill you for credit-card debt.
Yet.
But according to Belinda,
he's also in debt to people who do,
like drug dealers, and he's tapped out.
You know, a lot of people owe money,
and I'm not buying Belinda's whole act.
Ah, look.
She made a $240 purchase at
a restaurant-supply store.
Guess what she bought?
A pony?
- A new car?
- Are you done?
I guess.
A 35-gallon vat.
Oh. So she cooks.
Look, she's not that big.
Do you really think she
can carry a vat that heavy?
I think that girl can persuade anybody
to do what she wants them to.
Freeze!
Stop running!
Police! Out of the way!
Get down! Get out of the way!
- Get out of the way!
- Out of the way!
- Get out of the way!
- Out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Got him?
No.
Train!
Hey!
Police!
Police!
Back, back. Get out of the way!
Police!
Police! Get out of the way!
Police! Freeze, freeze!
Put your hands up!
Get up! Back, behind me!
Turn around... slowly, slowly!
Hands up, hands up!
All right, down on the floor.
Down! Hands at your side.
Don't move.
You hear me? Don't move.
Don't you [bleep] move...
I told you, I don't know who used my card.
I... I don't keep track of shit like that.
I just know I didn't
buy a giant [bleep] vat.
I've never even been to that store.
So when we pull up the security footage,
we're not gonna see you there at all?
I don't know what you're gonna see.
I don't even know what's going on.
Oh, my God, I cannot believe Ted is gone.
I mean, you wouldn't be
asking me these questions
if he wasn't dead. I'm not stupid.
And now you think I did something to him,
like I hit him with some
giant vat or something!
I don't even know what kind of vat that is!
God, you guys are assholes.
Well, now you want to
start trying to remember
where you've been for the past eight days?
Or you want to keep calling us names?
I told you, I don't know.
I had a photo shoot on Tuesday...
or Wednesday.
And there were, you know, some parties.
And then I had this
audition for this website.
God, please don't tell my mom.
You know what? You might be
right about her after all.
Hey, I've been wrong before.
Adams.
What?!
Man...
O hola. Thank you. Please come in.
I have the keys.
Uh, the man's never home,
but he leaves me money.
But this time, look.
Right next to my money was
this, plus an extra $200.
"By the time you read
this, I will be gone."
You wait outside while
we look around, okay?
- I keep the $200, verdad?
- Yeah.
Hello!
Los Angeles police!
Hello!
Hello!
Hey.
Hello!
Coop.
We got him.
Hey.
A57 requesting an R.A.
Unit to our location.
We have a victim conscious and breathing
with a minor gunshot wound.
It's not your day, huh?
Something in particular?
My, uh... my wife left.
I'm sorry.
That sucks.
I got home and...
the house... sounds different.
I took off my shoes in the hallway,
and that empty sound...
I didn't want to hear it again.
Hmm.
Maybe if she left, it
means she isn't the one.
Maybe the right one stays.
What if she was the right one?
What if she was the only one?
And I spend the rest of
my life in this empty house
with my shoes in the hall
and the refrigerator humming
and the clock ticking.
The phone rings, and it
sounds like a bomb going off.
Maybe you should get a carpet.
Coop...
Come on. Let's get you to the hospital.
Come on. We'll get you checked out.
You lived here long?
20 years.
Yeah, what kind of work you do?
Engineer. I design elevators.
Really?
You never know who you can trust, do you?
Give your heart to the wrong
person, and it's all over.
Ah. It's a miracle!
Ted, risen from the dead.
Hallelujah! It's a resurrection.
Let's go get this fool.
Hey, there... Ted Josephs.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Left hand on top of your
head, on top of your head.
You called the cops.
You said that Belinda was this gross girl
and that she was so
crazy and slutty and weird
that we'd be doing the world a favor.
So you said.
Do you want to confess now or later?
She already told us damn near everything...
about you buying the bones,
borrowing Belinda's credit
card, the debt you can't pay.
I thought I could trust you.
It all seemed like a movie
until I actually saw her.
He asked me to watch her house...
... And make sure she didn't go anywhere.
And that's what it took for you to realize
that this was a bad idea? I don't know.
I mean, I thought Belinda seemed cool
'cause I've always wanted
to be artsy like that.
She kind of reminded
me of one of those girls
that I would have totally wanted
to be friends with in high school.
Hey, faking your own death is not a crime.
Yeah, but stealing
Belinda's credit card is.
How could you do this to me?!
Stop yelling at me!
Easy, man.
You always yell. She just seemed so nice.
What are you talking about?
How did she seem nice?
She was watering her neighbor's plants,
and then she fed a stray
cat outside her house.
That's not a stray. That's her cat.
That's not so nice. You think
serial killers don't feed their cats?
So she should go to prison for the
rest of her life for feeding her cat?
You're a [bleep] idiot, just like she is.
Everyone seems nice, you [bleep]wad!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bet he seemed nice when
you first met him, too, huh?
Funny, for such a genius,
you're awfully handcuffed.
Maybe me and Belinda will celebrate tonight
with dinner at Tamashiro.
That's my restaurant. I took you there.
Oh, I'll be sure to get the uni.
Okay, enough, all right?!
Go! You go before I arrest you, too.
Bitch!
Shut up!
No.
I hate it when you're right.
What are you doing, sir?
Hey, buddy, how you doing?
May I text my wife to come and get the dog?
We got it.
Put your hands behind your back, please.
Why'd you do it?
It made me feel surprised.
You make all these great plans,
and then you wake up one day,
and you realize you worked away
the part of you that can enjoy any of it,
worked away that part that
can be surprised, delighted.
You killed it.
But this makes me happy.
Every time the glass breaks,
it feels like... something.
No matter how many times
I do it, it feels new.
I envy you.
You probably have more
excitement in one day
than I've had in my entire life.
Let's go.
They find anything out about the bank guys?
Not that I know.
I think they were just some guys.
Nobody knows whether they
planned on giving the money away
or just decided when they
knew they were getting caught.
I heard 30 bucks have been returned so far.
They said the money's marked.
They always say that. I doubt it.
Happened so fast, and
what are they gonna do?
Anybody gets caught, they just say
they found it somewhere, right?
You got it all figured out, huh?
Yeah! Hey, I got a mortgage with that bank.
I was one week late, they
sent a red letter threatening
to take my house, my kid's home.
I won't feel too bad if someone
has a nice meal off them,
- maybe, uh, pays their rent.
- Yeah. I hear you.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey, Brooke!
- Hey, Sammy.
Hi. Very nice to see you here.
- You, too.
- Yeah.
Oh, come on.
What?
You know what?
I got this. You two have fun.
Nice to see you.
Thanks.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh, God. What happened to your face?
You should see the other
guy. How was your day?
- Good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Those little ones behave?
- Uh, you know?
- More or less?
- More or less.
- Hey, what are you doing?
I thought Officer Bryant
told you to go home.
I came to report that my wallet got stolen.
He said you'd take the report.
Your wallet got stolen?
- Yeah.
- What happened?
I had like $1,000 in the wallet.
Oh.
Now I have nothing for dinner
and no money.
Is that so? No money for dinner, huh?
What do you think?
Come on.
All right. How about you
go to dinner with us tonight
just this one time, okay?
All right, you know?
- Hi. I'm Brooke.
- This is Brooke.
- Charles.
- Charles.
You like Belinda.
She was a lovely girl.
Everyone thought so except you.
Mm-hmm. Those naked
pictures of her were lovely.
Oh, you got a dirty, dirty mind.
She's a sweet girl.
Everybody's got to make a living.
So Christopher has a daddy after all.
Does it have anything
to do with the young lady
- screaming in our parking lot?
- It's none of your business.
You and your secrets, man.
Excuse me?
We've been working together
for what, a year now?
You met my family. You've been to my house.
You know everything
there is to know about me.
Yeah, and I didn't ask.
You chose to share that information.
You want to shut me out,
that's fine. That's fine.
Here's what I see.
You had an affair with a married man.
That was a mistake.
But now you have a son,
and that man wants to
be in your son's life.
And if you shut him out
out of spite or ego,
whatever it is you're feeling,
that's gonna be your next mistake
and possibly the biggest
mistake of your life,
when your son can never forgive you.
Listen, I'm your friend,
so I can tell you when I
think you're screwing up.
Doesn't mean I'm right.
It just means I care too much
about you to keep my mouth shut.
I don't even need any of this stuff.
Well, Walmart... they
accept returns for cash.
I'm just saying.
Hey, it's Sammy Bryant.
Yeah.
Let's go ahead and get
started on that bathroom work.
Yeah, thanks.
... With handfuls of cash as they attempted
to flee police authorities.
With more on this story, we now...
