military weapons angle well you could
have asked
you could have told us you got a nice
combination off that one didn't you
we got convictions there was plenty of
credit to go around richard
well it should have been all mine
so it's payback time huh give me a
little credit pedro
you know i was long deep into this
before grady's name ever popped up
not that i'm entirely unhappy about how
things are turning out
when we clean a decade-old case off of
west harvest blotter
and i get to watch you squirm
i asked you to check on the train down
low fire would you come up with anything
just finished good news or bad news bad
the computer file's completely
restricted somebody's put barbed wire
around this entire case i've tried
everything i know i cannot cut through
it
officially that is unofficially
hey hey hey sarge i'm still new around
here i gotta keep my nose clean stay out
of trouble follow orders the whole nine
yards
and if if i were to see something i
wasn't supposed to well then i'd keep my
mouth shut because quite frankly i
couldn't handle the career repercussions
rockman just give me the good news
you got friends in high places
[Music]
[Music]
so
hey thanks for helping me with the
justice mind b
told me i didn't make a mistake what are
you doing
what are you talking about i caught up
on some reading
it seems you were seen arguing with tran
the morning he died
so look i uh
we had a disagreement over what
over stuff
stuff well that certainly clarifies it
for me
hey you're the one with the great
reading material right well it must tell
you something
yeah it does like the fact that tran was
beaten to death
coroner's report states that the body
sustained damage not unlike that from a
martial arts expert
okay i was on the boat
b we argued i left
that's it
i sure hope so great
come on
yeah it's grady jameson
i don't don't hang up
i know cause i didn't have a choice we
have
a problem
i know yeah it's fine
tomorrow look i just wanna
thank you
[Music]
so you're jose cute
honored by your presence and mystified
by the same
i'm here because i'm very hungry
cinderella
this wonderful food is a taste i've
acquired since coming to your continent
i'd recommend the seafood fajitas
while we wait perhaps you would care to
discuss
other matters yeah
ten years ago a drug smuggler named tran
van loh was murdered in the harbor
there are people who remember they say
he worked for your organization
they also say you had him killed
ten years
it's a long time i have worked hard
to forget the life i was forced to lead
on the road to respectability
i'm not here looking to pen any blame on
you shendao
a friend of mine has been accused of the
crime
i need to know the truth
there's an old saying detective the road
to the truth is a dangerous one
it may not lead to where you wish to go
without actual knowledge i can only
create the realm of possibility
oh i understand if a person from the old
land uh
felt betrayed he might seek revenge
perhaps some money would be offered to
ensure public interest
an open contract yes
pretty much like your wild west want it
dead or alive
so if a killer were to bring you proof
of trans death
you could collect the cash no
not to me but of course
a person willing to risk your laws so
blatantly
it's also clever enough to arrange a
middleman
let's just cut the mystic crap chandelle
who collected for trans yet
was it a caucasian
yes a teenage round eye by the name of
jameson grady jameson
grady didn't come home i waited here all
night
detective eric rothman i need a favor
name it i want a trace run on
all outgoing calls from four different
phones can be done
how far back 36 hours
since grady was arrested okay shoot
i need one from malloy's one from
grady's dojo
and from the pay phones outside each of
those locations oh sweat i need about
two hours
you got one i'm at the bar
and eric is off the record
what is sarge good man
so
i know i know i killed him
yeah just hold on adam it's rothman
who drove you well thanks to one of
marvel's very pretty daughters
i hope she's pretty i ordered dinner
tomorrow i got everything you wanted
chapter and verse
anything jump out yeah one possible
yesterday evening
the 5 32 to be exact somebody the dojo
called a riverfront number
a freight outfit business number some
guy named brintochi
now this morning at 706
the same number was dialed from the pay
phone just down the street from malloy's
friend kochi again right you want me to
pull an address
no i'll take it from here and rothman
thanks no problem sorry sergeant
richard hi uh well what can i do for you
that depends on how bad you want to keep
your badge boy
ever since your call all my old fears
have resurfaced
the last thing i wanted to do was scare
you
i know i was afraid chandelle had found
out something
no no but the cops have
your family
they're beautiful
you've been blessed with three beautiful
daughters they're my life
matty jamie are you
they are proof that a man can start over
yeah i wanted to call you many times
tell me what weighs so heavily on your
grady jameson
i need your permission to tell the truth
only you could be the judge on how
strong our oath of many years remains
i know a life for life
trend out would seek me out and kill me
and them too that's the problem
a friend of m the cops
have already talked to chen dao about
both of us
and you know he may figure something out
he he may become suspicious
then i will move my family to will he
will never find us
grady you two are at risk if chennai
discover i'm still alive
he will know you cheated him of money
for a job you did not do
don't don't worry trent
i'll never find out because i will honor
my vow to you my friend
it's time we talk no more running
they're not with me all right granny
what have you done i swear nothing
nothing shrug
hey
richard the other guy forget it we came
for james no look it's tran van loh he's
alive
oh really did he come with elvis or
amelia earhart
grady tell him don't do it b it's not
worth your career man
don't lie for me thank you
can i have a moment alone with my client
please
you gotta work with me on this
look mendoza
i just want to plead guilty i get this
to hell over with okay
okay but uh i can get you less time if
you do it my way
uh my client
my client wishes to stand by his last
statement without it being an admission
of guilt oh really
so he killed tran but he's not guilty
he's off prichard
with all due respect lieutenant he's
already got a lawyer
we'll enter our plea at the arraignment
the state can decide whether or not to
accept it at that time
look this whole thing is a joke tron is
still alive hey you are here by the
grace of my consent remember our
agreement
to hell with our agreement grady tell
him the truth
the guy you saw me with at the docks was
going to smuggle me out of the country
tranmanlo died 10 years ago
[Music]
so
[Music]
i know what i saw and you know what i
saw hey you know what it's always
telling me to trust the system well this
time i am so just
let it work itself out work itself out
you're talking about going to prison man
maybe for life
hey i know what i'm doing that's not
what i think
oh what do you think that tran saved
your life by smuggling you here and now
you're trying to pay him back by going
to jail for a crime you didn't commit
isn't that what this is about no now
this is about something that i know
you understand this is about
honor and trust
if you've ever trusted me then please
just
let it go
why would grady cop to a murder he
didn't commit
some kind of debt about her i sure as
hell don't get it you know i love grady
as much as you do
but there is a dark side to him and so
grady did not commit here
i got a beer please don't worry sarge
i'm off dude
what did you find out richard search
printout cheese house like
it was a treasure hunt zippo there's
nothing there to suggest that brintochi
and tran van loh are the same guy
have they talked to brentoche the guy's
at vapor trail sarge
took his wife and kid with him now
pritchard's put out an apb
but he doesn't think it's gonna amount
to much betty says you made up the story
to protect grady
bingo okay what else do you have
well pritchard's already talked to the
wife's parents now they say they don't
know where bryn touchy is
but i think maybe we do
come on rothman boathouses
the father-in-law owns a couple of
rental boat houses but they're listed
under his wife's
maiden name so you'd have to be a pretty
smart guy to trace him
[Music]
where are they
four bucks
i have that
[Music]
open up who are you
i'm a friend of grady jamisons defense
believe your words
when he saw you yesterday grady's first
reaction was to fight
he wanted to protect you why should he
protect me from a friend
my name is adam bedrow
i want to help grady and i want to help
you
how did you know grady he saved my life
in vietnam
and i saved tears i really did speak of
knowing such man when he was a young boy
in vietnam
you've got to help granny i don't know
how i can
he's accused of your murder tron but
you're still alive
unfortunately that alone does not
absolve of
murder
the man who burned on the boat yes grady
killed him
i know that when chen dao's real
assassin came for tron you killed him in
self-defense
that's justifiable homicide grady
just tell it the way it happened the d.a
may even decline to press charges
i i appreciate what you're doing i do
but
i'm afraid you're wrong i spent the
afternoon with tran and his three
daughters do i have to name them
what have you done i did in a restaurant
and i won't let shendal know that he's
alive
ah thanks me
man you know we could have gotten here
hell of a lot sooner with a lot less
trouble if you just trust me
tran and i have an oath be his whole
family's at stake
i understand what you're trying to do
but this whole thing is unraveling
first you've got to clear yourself for
the charges then we can help tron
no look if he surfaces chandelle will
kill him you know he's gonna kill him he
lives by the code
we can protect tron we can give him a
new identity we can move him
grady would you trust me huh lock him up
next to his buddy james
how do you like doing all the work so
someone else can grab the collar with
their old
caller what caller what did you do
pritchard what the hell going on tell me
bro you were right
brento chi here strand van low his
fingerprints match those found all over
the boat 10 years ago
you don't have a warrant on him there's
no reason for you to hold him well
firing a shotgun and an officer will do
for now
sleep tight boys get your story straight
it's hanging time
[Music]
tran took a big chance for me
it was it was madness on the mainland
and
i would have been killed within a week
just for being around i
chandel was very specific if i smuggled
anything but what he told me
i would be executed
[Music]
i don't get it but so why take the risk
for grady some guy you don't even know
[Music]
now the only reason that he agreed to
captain that boat
was because he decided that he was gonna
bring his parents and his sister over
with him
and he waited as long as he could but
he found out that the government had
killed them on their way over to the
coast
greedy had lost his family and i
i had nothing left to lose no reason not
to take him
we talked this was a lot of time to talk
on the trip over so we became friends
my shimmer was china white pure heroin
but i already decided i would not
deliver it
[Music]
when i asked grady for help
[Music]
i was not surprised that he said yes
[Music]
there are 12 bricks of china light the
night we landed we hid it
under the pier
[Music]
chandelle's people were very upset
[Music]
there was no big secret you know chen
dao had put a contract
on trans life so i
i left the boat i poked around a little
grady and i argued he wanted me to run
but i knew there was no use
he's turned out vengeance forever
[Music]
you would always be one step behind
i was just getting ready to leave when
the assassin attacked
[Music]
now
[Music]
[Applause]
it's uh
[Music]
i think i just you know it wouldn't stay
down he just
kept
he was professional he was fighting to
the death
i kept telling him to stay down
[Music]
if he did not kill me chandelle would
kill him
he was dead
[Music]
that's when we figured you know it would
work we could we could trick
chad down half the grady killed for me
it would be a dishonest i did not accept
the gift and try to stay alive
so you burned the body to make everyone
think that you were dead
[Music]
i took proof of the kill and then i went
looking for chen down eventually one of
his people paid off
grady gave me half the blood money he
earned for my death
i lived off my share until
i found you
my daughter jaime is named after
[Music]
the d.a doesn't think there's enough
evidence to warrant an indictment
against grady or tran
what about failure to report a crime
conspiracy unlawful disposal of a corpse
assault on a police officer the death is
being ruled
self-defense end of story
oh boy you must be pretty happy with
yourself
what's that supposed to mean it means
this was a good case and your boy
belongs in jail but somewhere behind
closed doors
you sold out your badge to keep him free
i went looking for the truth pritchard
you should try it sometime
shendow's the guy you should be after
not grady
if you want to know who sold out his
badge look for the cop with a grudge
it clouds your judgment oh
i'm sorry it's behind us man
just called she's moved trans wife and
kids to the motel you mentioned and good
thing too
looks like a couple of chen dao's goons
have taken a permanent parking place
outside the bar
wait wait wait wait wait tindal already
knows about tran
we'll get them safely out of town all
right then went
what do you want us to do then you've
got to protect them
for how long with how many men even if
you put jen dowell in jail
his men will still find trent and
they'll kill him and me
it's not a question of if it's when
where and how
there's one possibility but it's risky
i don't care look this goes way back i
have a debt to pay
we take a page out of census book
accommodate oneself to the designs of
one's enemy
oh are you gonna give chen dow what he
wants
exactly
i know who you are grady jameson
what i don't know is why you were here
i have a problem ten down i've come to
me
because i'm told that you were wise in
matters of the conscience
long time ago i took some money from a
man
this money it was taken under
false pretenses
i'm sure when that man found out he must
have been very angry
no doubt i was hoping that
you could advise me on how to make
amends to this man
things cannot be amended sometimes
consequences
is all that remain
i understand china
however i know another man
a man that isn't hiding a man that you
should meet
it would be my honor to arrange this
meeting for you
what is the name of this man
tran van no
hello tran after all these years
cinderella thank you mercy i entrusted
you with valuable cargo
and you betrayed me by stealing it no no
no i hate it it's still safe
that's why i came back here so i can
sell it my family have money to flee
how how's it possible it's under the
report it's right there
stay for yourself
there is no honor in your soul
no redemption by your actions
what's this just saw the matter you came
to me with
i can only say that you will sleep
better and live a longer life at the
completion of unfinished business
shoot him no do it oh my gosh
[Music]
no
ready no no play
i am myself an opportunist
i do not begrudge you your actions our
dealings are concluded
jonah

[Music]
amazing thing sarge i thought this
garbage taking its cell phone into the
alley
have a seat
i'm very impressed oh i didn't know you
made your own tortilla flour
i say nothing without my lawyer it's a
damn good idea
but you'd be better off hiring an entire
law firm
tran van lo's body emerged from the
harbor just two hours ago
i know nothing of this we've got two
eyewitnesses
willing to identify you at the scene
okay i was there but it was your friend
grady who killed tran
it doesn't matter i've got you locked
for conspiracy to murder
that's a life sentence if i'm trying for
murder
i'm bringing mr jameson down with me now
neither of us want that to be
no we don't so
what do you propose you can go away for
the rest of your life or you can sign a
confession regarding the heroine

the murder charge

daughters they're my life

grady jameson
i need your permission to tell the truth
only you could be the judge on how
strong our oath of many years remains
i know a life for life
trend out would seek me out and kill me
and them too that's the problem
a friend of m the cops
have already talked to chen dao about
both of us
and you know he may figure something out
he he may become suspicious
then i will move my family to will he
will never find us
grady you two are at risk if chennai
discover i'm still alive
he will know you cheated him of money
for a job you did not do
don't don't worry trent

my vow to you my friend

hey
richard the other guy forget it we came
for james no look it's tran van loh he's
alive
oh really did he come with elvis or
amelia earhart
grady tell him don't do it b it's not
worth your career man
don't lie for me thank you
can i have a moment alone with my client
please
you gotta work with me on this
look mendoza
i just want to plead guilty i get this
to hell over with okay
okay but uh i can get you less time if
you do it my way
uh my client
my client wishes to stand by his last
statement without it being an admission
of guilt oh really
so he killed tran but he's not guilty
he's off prichard
with all due respect lieutenant he's
already got a lawyer
we'll enter our plea at the arraignment
the state can decide whether or not to
accept it at that time
look this whole thing is a joke tron is
still alive hey you are here by the
grace of my consent remember our
agreement
to hell with our agreement grady tell
him the truth
the guy you saw me with at the docks was
going to smuggle me out of the country
tranmanlo died 10 years ago
[Music]
so
[Music]
i know what i saw and you know what i
saw hey you know what it's always
telling me to trust the system well this
time i am so just
let it work itself out work itself out
you're talking about going to prison man
maybe for life
hey i know what i'm doing that's not
what i think
oh what do you think that tran saved
your life by smuggling you here and now
you're trying to pay him back by going
to jail for a crime you didn't commit
isn't that what this is about no now
this is about something that i know
you understand this is about
honor and trust
if you've ever trusted me then please
just
let it go
why would grady cop to a murder he
didn't commit
some kind of debt about her i sure as
hell don't get it you know i love grady
as much as you do
but there is a dark side to him and so
grady did not commit here
i got a beer please don't worry sarge
i'm off dude
what did you find out richard search
printout cheese house like
it was a treasure hunt zippo there's
nothing there to suggest that brintochi
and tran van loh are the same guy
have they talked to brentoche the guy's
at vapor trail sarge
took his wife and kid with him now
pritchard's put out an apb
but he doesn't think it's gonna amount
to much betty says you made up the story
to protect grady
bingo okay what else do you have
well pritchard's already talked to the
wife's parents now they say they don't
know where bryn touchy is
but i think maybe we do
come on rothman boathouses
the father-in-law owns a couple of
rental boat houses but they're listed
under his wife's
maiden name so you'd have to be a pretty
smart guy to trace him
[Music]
where are they
four bucks
i have that
[Music]
open up who are you
i'm a friend of grady jamisons defense
believe your words
when he saw you yesterday grady's first
reaction was to fight
he wanted to protect you why should he
protect me from a friend
my name is adam bedrow
i want to help grady and i want to help
you
how did you know grady he saved my life
in vietnam
and i saved tears i really did speak of
knowing such man when he was a young boy
in vietnam
you've got to help granny i don't know
how i can
he's accused of your murder tron but
you're still alive
unfortunately that alone does not
absolve of
murder
the man who burned on the boat yes grady
killed him
i know that when chen dao's real
assassin came for tron you killed him in
self-defense
that's justifiable homicide grady
just tell it the way it happened the d.a
may even decline to press charges
i i appreciate what you're doing i do
but
i'm afraid you're wrong i spent the
afternoon with tran and his three
daughters do i have to name them
what have you done i did in a restaurant
and i won't let shendal know that he's
alive
ah thanks me
man you know we could have gotten here
hell of a lot sooner with a lot less
trouble if you just trust me
tran and i have an oath be his whole
family's at stake
i understand what you're trying to do
but this whole thing is unraveling
first you've got to clear yourself for
the charges then we can help tron
no look if he surfaces chandelle will
kill him you know he's gonna kill him he
lives by the code
we can protect tron we can give him a
new identity we can move him
grady would you trust me huh lock him up
next to his buddy james
how do you like doing all the work so
someone else can grab the collar with
their old
caller what caller what did you do
pritchard what the hell going on tell me
bro you were right
brento chi here strand van low his
fingerprints match those found all over
the boat 10 years ago
you don't have a warrant on him there's
no reason for you to hold him well
firing a shotgun and an officer will do
for now
sleep tight boys get your story straight
it's hanging time
[Music]
tran took a big chance for me
it was it was madness on the mainland
and
i would have been killed within a week
just for being around i
chandel was very specific if i smuggled
anything but what he told me
i would be executed
[Music]
i don't get it but so why take the risk
for grady some guy you don't even know
[Music]
now the only reason that he agreed to
captain that boat
was because he decided that he was gonna
bring his parents and his sister over
with him
and he waited as long as he could but
he found out that the government had
killed them on their way over to the
coast
greedy had lost his family and i
i had nothing left to lose no reason not
to take him
we talked this was a lot of time to talk
on the trip over so we became friends
my shimmer was china white pure heroin
but i already decided i would not
deliver it
[Music]
when i asked grady for help
[Music]
i was not surprised that he said yes
[Music]
there are 12 bricks of china light the
night we landed we hid it
under the pier
[Music]
chandelle's people were very upset
[Music]
there was no big secret you know chen
dao had put a contract
on trans life so i
i left the boat i poked around a little
grady and i argued he wanted me to run
but i knew there was no use
he's turned out vengeance forever
[Music]
you would always be one step behind
i was just getting ready to leave when
the assassin attacked
[Music]
now
[Music]
[Applause]
it's uh
[Music]
i think i just you know it wouldn't stay
down he just
kept
he was professional he was fighting to
the death
i kept telling him to stay down
[Music]
if he did not kill me chandelle would
kill him
he was dead
[Music]
that's when we figured you know it would
work we could we could trick
chad down half the grady killed for me
it would be a dishonest i did not accept
the gift and try to stay alive
so you burned the body to make everyone
think that you were dead
[Music]
i took proof of the kill and then i went
looking for chen down eventually one of
his people paid off
grady gave me half the blood money he
earned for my death
i lived off my share until
i found you
my daughter jaime is named after
[Music]
the d.a doesn't think there's enough
evidence to warrant an indictment
against grady or tran
what about failure to report a crime
conspiracy unlawful disposal of a corpse
assault on a police officer the death is
being ruled
self-defense end of story
oh boy you must be pretty happy with
yourself
what's that supposed to mean it means
this was a good case and your boy
belongs in jail but somewhere behind
closed doors
you sold out your badge to keep him free
i went looking for the truth pritchard
you should try it sometime
shendow's the guy you should be after
not grady
if you want to know who sold out his
badge look for the cop with a grudge
it clouds your judgment oh
i'm sorry it's behind us man
just called she's moved trans wife and
kids to the motel you mentioned and good
thing too
looks like a couple of chen dao's goons
have taken a permanent parking place
outside the bar
wait wait wait wait wait tindal already
knows about tran
we'll get them safely out of town all
right then went
what do you want us to do then you've
got to protect them
for how long with how many men even if
you put jen dowell in jail
his men will still find trent and
they'll kill him and me
it's not a question of if it's when
where and how
there's one possibility but it's risky
i don't care look this goes way back i
have a debt to pay
we take a page out of census book
accommodate oneself to the designs of
one's enemy
oh are you gonna give chen dow what he
wants
exactly
i know who you are grady jameson
what i don't know is why you were here
i have a problem ten down i've come to
me
because i'm told that you were wise in
matters of the conscience
long time ago i took some money from a
man
this money it was taken under
false pretenses
i'm sure when that man found out he must
have been very angry
no doubt i was hoping that
you could advise me on how to make
amends to this man
things cannot be amended sometimes
consequences
is all that remain
i understand china
however i know another man
a man that isn't hiding a man that you
should meet
it would be my honor to arrange this
meeting for you
what is the name of this man
tran van no
hello tran after all these years
cinderella thank you mercy i entrusted
you with valuable cargo
and you betrayed me by stealing it no no
no i hate it it's still safe
that's why i came back here so i can
sell it my family have money to flee
how how's it possible it's under the
report it's right there
stay for yourself
there is no honor in your soul
no redemption by your actions
what's this just saw the matter you came
to me with
i can only say that you will sleep
better and live a longer life at the
completion of unfinished business
shoot him no do it oh my gosh
[Music]
no
ready no no play
i am myself an opportunist
i do not begrudge you your actions our
dealings are concluded
jonah

amazing thing sarge i thought this
garbage taking its cell phone into the
alley

i'm very impressed oh i didn't know you
made your own tortilla flour
i say nothing without my lawyer it's a
damn good idea
but you'd be better off hiring an entire
law firm
tran van lo's body emerged from the
harbor just two hours ago
i know nothing of this we've got two
eyewitnesses
willing to identify you at the scene
okay i was there but it was your friend
grady who killed tran
it doesn't matter i've got you locked
for conspiracy to murder
that's a life sentence if i'm trying for
murder
i'm bringing mr jameson down with me now
neither of us want that to be
no we don't so

the rest of your life or you can sign a
confession regarding the heroine
