"This over here is a long-range sniper rifle." "Box magazine that detaches." "This here -- carbine 14 1/2-inch barrel." "Round foregrip." "Flip-up sight." "You see it?" "Okay, k9, I see 'em." "Where's the rest of 'em at?" "They're ready when you are, buddy." "Let's do this deal." "Okay." "602 redland." "There's a little storefront up there." "They used to sell old appliances." "It's closed now." "Do you know it?" "Yeah, I'll find it." "Okay." "You walk in through the front door." "It's gonna be open." "Hey, 2:00 sharp." "Yes?" "Yeah, man. 2:00." "You're gonna need a bigger car, buddy." "I'll see you there, k9." "2:00." "First buy will be done." "Here comes dion." "Yo, k9, you here?" "I've been on this emilianos gang trying to make a gun buy." "The meet was set up this morning." "Everything's perfect." "We get here, dion gets here, and the whole place goes up." "I mean, I don't know what the hell just happened." "I'll tell you what happened." "They made him for a cop is what happened." "Dion made a mistake somewhere." "Yeah, but I don't see how, vic." "We got a wire on the clubhouse." "We didn't hear anything sounding like they made him for a cop." "I mean, just the opposite." "What do you mean, "the opposite"?" "They were saying how this could become a regular thing with dion," "Which is what we wanted." "Plan was to make a few more buys, then we'd take them down." "So, how long was dion in the squad?" "He'd been doing gun buys two years." "I mean, we should have pulled him out." "Maybe that was too long." "You know, maybe someone remembered him from somewhere." "Carmen, it's not your fault." "You got to get your head around that, okay?" "Look, I'm gonna send you to the grief counselor." "You too, vic." "Just tell me when and where." "So, you guys know who did this, right?" "Yeah, a guy named k9." "Down the road, you're gonna nail him to the cross," "But right now, you're going home." "I'll get a union lawyer to get in touch." "It just doesn't feel right to leave dion like that." "There's a lot of people gonna take care of him." "Yeah, I should get home to my kid." "You got a kid?" "Yeah, a little girl." "She's 7." "Nice." "Go give her a hug." "Thanks, guys." "Alex, what did they say?" "Okay, the bomb squad thinks it was a hand grenade." "Hand grenade?" "That's a lot of damage for a hand grenade." "Well, you know, the enclosed space," "You get more bang for your buck." "Did they say how?" "It was booby-trapped." "He walked through, no way to get out alive." "Well, he got made for a cop." "Someone, somehow." "I don't know." "That's what we got to figure out." "Okay." "I'll work on that." "Thanks." "Tommy." "All right, I'm coming." "Hey." "I.A. Say what they want?" "No, just said they were coming in." "Did you check into dion?" "Yeah, guy's a good cop." "Two commendations for bravery," "But there's something else you need to know." "Dion was gay." "Oh, yeah." "I know." "You knew?" "Yeah, he came to see me a few months ago" "Just after we took over the union." "He was asking me about coming out." "What did you tell him?" "I told him that his brother cops" "Are gonna make his life miserable" "And it's gonna distract him from the job" "And put him and the guys he works with in jeopardy." "So you told dion to quit." "Yeah, but I also said" "That I can't make that decision for him." "Well, I'll tell you one thing the department's policy" "On "don't ask, don't tell" isn't working." "The union has three gay cops in the last year alone" "All suing for harassment." "A lot of guys won't work with gays," "And some will do a lot worse." "Wait a second." "How did you know he was gay?" "His sergeant told me." "He said dion came out to him and carmen," "And they kept it quiet 'cause he's such a great cop." "If he hadn't have been," "He said the story would have been a lot different." "And he's sure that they're the only two that know?" "That's what he says, yeah." "Why?" "Bad guys made dion for a cop." "Do you think someone in his squad might have burned him because he was gay?" "Maybe." "Maybe he just made a mistake along the way." "I don't know." "What about family?" "He didn't have anybody, frank." "He had a handler -- carmen." "She took it pretty hard." "Mm-hmm." "So, what do you want me to do?" "Find out if anybody else knew that he was gay." "We have to see if this is the reason he got made." "Okay, I'm on it." "Two guys from I.A. Are here - detectives rytell and ruiz." "All right, let's see what the hell these guys want." "Ruiz is kind of cute." "He asked me out." "Only if you wear a wire." "I could do that." "Not in that outfit, you couldn't." "You know, we're not gonna be able to dodge the question" "On where the union stands on gay rights much longer." "It's not just gonna go away." "Okay, well, let's just make it a little later, okay?" "I don't have an answer and neither does anybody else," "So let's just shut the closet door for now." "As long as they pay their dues, I don't care." "Thanks." "No." "Don't even think about iris." "Yeah?" "And what are you gonna do about it, frank?" "Nothing." "That's what." "What is your problem?" "You get no love as a kid or what?" "I hate your guts." "How's that?" "Oh, ouch." "Right -- there's the pain." "That's where I feel it." "Ruiz, please." "Just, like, shut up." "No, no, no." "Let him talk." "It reminds me why I took the job." "Frank, let me just get this out, okay?" "This cop dion was made and killed." "Something's come to light about him." "The guy that's been dead for four hours?" "You already have something on him?" "Let me guess -- you're already poking into his life." "It's about how he might have been made." "Okay, well, you've got our attention." "These guns the emilianos are selling," "Well, it turns out they were ready to make a deal with dion" "Three separate times, right?" "Everything was in place, and then they backed away." "So dion was nervous about it." "Who told you this?" "He did." "We were friends." "We grew up together." "He was worried somebody in the gang had made him for a cop." "He asked me to check in to the squad for him." "He was worried that one of his own guys burned him." "He didn't know." "He just " "He felt something was wrong." "So I look into it." "This is what I find." "It's carmen's file." "Yeah." "You see it says she has no next of kin?" "Well, that turns out to be a lie." "Ruiz has a c.I. Who told us" "That carmen has deep personal ties" "To this gang, the emilianos." "Half her family's part of it." "You show that to dion?" "Yeah." "He said if anything happened to him," "I should bring it to you." "Me?" "Look, I don't want to be here, frank, believe me," "But I promised him I'd do this thing, so I'm doing it, okay?" "We said all we're gonna say." "The rest is up to you." "Abby, hang on." "What's your take on this?" "I think dion put this in your lap for a reason," "And he didn't believe that carmen was gonna burn him." "Yeah, that and I think he was mad at me" "For telling him to quit." "Maybe he's trying to get me to think twice." "Yeah, well, maybe you should." "And this tiny bird flies so, I into my apartment," "And it's flying around..." "And he's banging off the walls," "And he's trying to find his way out again," "And then he smashes into another window," "And he's laying there, and he's sucking air," "And his little black eyes are looking up at me," "And then he dies." "Bird dies?" "Yeah." "It's an omen, frank." "It's bad luck." "I told you, I'm cursed." "Billy, come here." "We got to talk about this." "You gonna read me the riot act 'cause I stopped seeing the shrink?" "Well, why did you?" "Because he doesn't get me, frank." "I mean, like, I'm trying to tell him" "How, like, all these things are tied together," "Like, I take down that kid and then he dies." "Yeah, he had a heart problem." "It's not your fault." "Yeah?" "The undercover cop suki she gets stabbed." "She dies right in front of me." "Yeah, and you got the hooker who did it." "Yeah, but I should have gotten her before she killed her, right?" "And then the robber." "I shoot him." "He dies, too." "Billy, he was shooting at you." "You shoot back." "Now I got this dead bird." "You know what?" "You can string all these things together" "To make it look like they're connected." "It doesn't mean they are." "My shrink says that I got to stop spending time with cops" "And mingle with other people." "How am I supposed to do that?" "I don't even remember the last time I met a civilian." "Look, billy, bottom line " "You shoot somebody and it steals something from you," "And you got to work really, really hard to get it back," "And you know I'm right about that." "Do you think I'm a good cop?" "No." "I think you're a great cop." "You do the job exactly how it has to be done." "I hope I do." "You do." "You really do." "What do you want me to say?" "I lied." "I was afraid it would affect my career," "That I'd always be under suspicion because of my family." "You know, there's lots of cops with bad histories" "Who don't lie." "It makes you look like you're guilty of hiding something." "Yeah, but I didn't have a choice, okay?" "I'm hispanic, and I'm a woman," "And if anybody knew about my past," "They'd for sure use that to keep me down." "I mean, I love my job, and I got my little girl to take care of." "Bottom line is you lied." "Why should anyone believe you now?" "Okay, look..." "My pops and my mom weren't married, okay?" "I had her last name." "She died when I was real young," "And I was raised by my grandma." "She wanted a different life for me," "So she kept me away from the rest of the family," "And then when I saw I had a chance at a better life," "I took it." "And I'm sure that's the truth," "But it doesn't answer the question." "That's the only answer I got." "Okay." "How many members of your family are in this gang?" "I don't know." "My pops started the emilianos when he was in prison." "I mean, that's his name - emiliano." "I got four uncles involved and a few cousins, I think." "I mean, it's not like I have Sunday dinner with them." "But they know you're a cop, right?" "Yeah, they know." "What about this guy that dion was buying the guns from?" "Is he family?" "Yeah -- k9." "He's a cousin." "Antonio's his real name." "Did you ever talk to k9 at any time?" "Not since he was 8." "He came to stay with me and my grandma for a year." "I haven't seen him since." "Let's talk about dion for a minute." "How'd you feel about him being gay?" "You knew about that?" "Yeah." "You tell anybody else, maybe your partner, vic?" "No." "But..." "No, it can't be vic." "Why?" "What are you thinking?" "I don't know." "Just his attitude, I guess." "He was always making comments about gays" "Whenever dion was around, things like that." "Sounds like he suspected." "Yeah." "Could be he did." "Okay, is there anything else you want to tell us" "About dion or your family?" "I don't think so." "Why?" "I.A. Says they have other evidence." "What's that mean?" "It means that if you're not being truthful," "We are going to get blindsided." "* go *" "* go to the mountain if you must * * go to the burning bush *" "* happy would ease your troubled mind *" "* I'd be prepared to stay behind *" "* I know you better than you think I do * * don't worry, dear * * this is why I fell in love with you *" "* the man in the looking glass * * is looking back at you at last *" "* you can't hide from the truth *" "It's a double standard." "I mean, gay male cops are in the closet" "While female cops are mostly out," "And that's just because male cops" "Have a sexual fantasy about two women together." "Yeah, I know." "I just thought you should know about dion being gay," "In case that's why he got killed." "Yeah, but you know what I'm saying, right?" "The hardest part of coming out is being labeled." "It's like just saying, "look out." "This person isn't one of us."" "No, I get that." "Do you, though, really, frank?" "Come on." "You're not just, like, the least bit threatened by them?" "Look, jill, I don't care if a cop wants to have sex" "With a man, a woman, or a chicken." "It's my job to protect them." "That's what I do." "Everybody -- gay or straight." "So, how'd you protect dion when he asked you if he should come out?" "Gave him his options, told him the choice was his." "But you didn't tell him to go ahead and come out" "And "I'll back you up," did you?" "Look, I'm sorry." "I'm s" " I'm sorry." "That was so unfair." "No." "You know what?" "You're right." "You're right." "What dion did took guts, and I wasn't there for him." "When he went and saw carmen to tell her, I should have gone," "And I should have shown some kind of support." "I don't know." "You know, right this minute," "I can almost have a baby with you." "Oh, it's okay." "A minute later, who knows?" "[ chuckles ]" "Yeah, alex." "How we doing on dion's murder?" "Yeah, but there might be a wrinkle in this." "Okay." "K9's in the wind." "Nobody's seen him." "Yeah, something else you should know " "K9's carmen's cousin." "What?" "Oh, come on." "You got to be kidding me." "No, her whole family's in this gang." "Does I.A. Know about this?" "Yeah." "You don't think carmen had something to do with dion getting made, do you?" "Well, you know, she, uh..." "Lied about the connection with her family," "So that doesn't really inspire trust." "Rabbi's looking into it now." "No, no, no, no." "Carmen's a stand-up cop." "No." "Hey, you seen billy?" "No." "Why?" "She stopped seeing her shrink." "What?" "You want me to talk to her?" "Would you?" "Hey, guess what - it's a minute later." "I'll call billy." "Mind if I sit here?" "It's not taken." "What division are you?" "Sorry?" "Division?" "You just walked into a cop bar and you're not a cop?" "Are you a cop?" "Billy." "Hey." "Kantor:" "Hey." "What did you get on carmen?" "To find out about anybody in the projects Ask the wrinkly ones." "The grandmas always know." "You've been saying that since bridge division." "It's still true." "Anyway, what I found out is that carmen and her family" "Are completely on the outs." "She's the enemy." "They want nothing to do with her." "In fact, the only reason she's not dead" "Is because her cousin k9 wouldn't sanction a hit on her." "Do we know why?" "Something to do with carmen's grandma." "She raised k9 from a little kid," "And then carmen treated him like a little brother." "He never forgot." "Well, that backs up carmen's story, at least." "Yeah." "Get him out of here!" "Get him out of here!" "Hey, come here!" "What is wrong with you?" "What the hell you doing?" "He was grabbing at me, frank." "What was I supposed to do?" "So the boys will take him out back and tune him up!" "You're going home." "I'm getting you a cab." "Frank, this is the first beer I had all night, okay?" "Ask rabbi." "He'll tell you." "Anyways, I'm supposed to meet jill here, okay?" "So, who the hell was that guy?" "He was a civilian." "I was mingling." "You see what happens?" "You see the connection?" "You go see your shrink today?" "Yeah." "She's gonna love this story." "I got to use the can." "Tommy." "As far as I can tell," "Nobody else knew for sure that dion was gay" "Except for carmen and dion's sergeant." "He says he didn't tell," "But I heard a few of the other guys suspected." "Yeah, well, one of the guys that suspected" "Was carmen's partner, vic neston." "He's in a position to be a part of this gun buy." "Puts him right in the middle of it." "I'll have a little talk with him." "All right." "Hey." "I think I might have an idea" "Of the evidence that I. A. Was withholding." "I was going over carmen's file," "And I came across some letters of recommendation" "From her sergeant to an adoption agency." "She was trying to adopt a baby." "Yeah, she's got a little girl." "So she says, yeah, but the adoption never went through," "And on the application, it says that she is unable to have children." "So, how did she end up with one?" "Only carmen and maybe I.A. Would know the answer to that." "Did you call her?" "Yeah." "No answer." "I'll keep trying." "So, I guess that just leaves I.A." "Maybe they know where she got the kid." "So, where's your idiot partner?" "You should lay off ruiz, okay?" "Oh, yeah?" "How come?" "'cause he's paranoid." "He thinks everyone's out to try to get him." "Just makes him dig in his heels." "Tough to work with a guy like that." "What's this all about, frank?" "You and dion were friends since you were kids, right?" "So you knew he was gay." "Yeah." "So did you." "He told me how you helped him come out of the closet." "He said that to you?" "Yeah." "Did you do that?" "No, I told him to quit." "Well, that's not what he heard." "Here's the bottom line, okay, frank?" "K9 is close family," "And if carmen didn't do this to dion," "She's gonna do something like this" "To some other cop down the line." "She owes k9." "So you know he gave carmen his daughter." "Yeah." "That was really good, frank." "You didn't know anything about that." "I'll see you around." "Get in." "Get in!" "Damn it, k9, put that away!" "Shut up." "You killed a cop." "Shut up!" "How did you know about him?" "You should have warned me you were coming after me." "You broke the rules." "What rules?" ""what rules?"" "Carmen, I gave you my daughter." "Yeah, I told you about that." "I wasn't gonna cut you any slack for that." "Oh, yeah?" "Maybe I take her back, then." "What?" "So now you want her to have your life?" "Is that it?" "Maybe I changed my mind." "Maybe I shoot you right now and I take her back." "Yeah, my girlfriend wants that kid." "So shoot me." "Go ahead." "Hey, don't tempt me." "What do you want, antonio?" "What?" "It's her birthday tomorrow." "I want you to give her this." "Um, little bracelet you add things to " "Little charms." "Here." "How did you know dion was a cop?" "You told me." "What?" "That's what they think, right?" "And how would you know that?" "I hear things, carmen." "You tell her her daddy says happy birthday, okay?" "So, you smashed a guy's face into the bar?" "Yeah." "And he was cute, too." "But he asked the wrong question." "Which was?" "Have I ever shot a guy?" "Mm." "Right." "You know, no matter what your shrink says," "Never go out with a civilian, all right?" "They'll never understand what we do every day." "It's kind of like what happened with you and your girlfriend, right?" "Yeah, but, I mean, that was over, you know?" "I wanted to get out of it anyway." "Whatever." "I've never been in a long-term relationship." "You think that means I'm screwed up about guys?" "You know a woman who isn't?" "Hey, rabbi, how about a couple of shots of tequila?" "How about sticking with beer, for the civilians' sake?" "Yeah, right." "Okay, two beers." "You ever feel like" "Everything in your life is connected somehow," "Everything that happens to you?" "Things are connected sometimes," "But I think that's just what we do." "That's our job." "You know, putting things together, random events," "Trying to figure out the whole story," "Why things happen - solve the mystery of it all." "I never looked at it like that." "I was just starting to see," "Like, everything was strung together," "Like I had bad luck or I was cursed." "No, no." "You make your own luck." "I used to believe that." "So start believing it again, baby." "For real, okay?" "Look, I got to go." "Um..." "You need anything," "Any time of night, whatevs, okay, call." "No, no, no, no." "I got it." "You sure?" "Yeah, thank you." "Take it easy, all right?" "Why the hell didn't you tell me that your daughter was k9's?" "I don't have her legally." "If anybody found out, they could take her ay from me." "You understand?" "Still, you should have told me." "I am pissed that you didn't." "I know." "I'm sorry." "I keep making mistakes with this thing." "Yeah, you do." "How'd you end up with his kid?" "He was in prison, and his wife was a crackhead, right?" "She's dead now." "And, anyway, I couldn't adopt" "Because they said being a cop with the long hours I put in," "And, on top of that, I was single." "That made me a bad risk." "So when k9 asked me to take her," "I thought god meant for me to have her," "To save her the way my grandmother saved me." "They take her away from me, I don't know what I'll do." "You should have trusted me." "I was just so scared of losing her, you know?" "All right, what else did he say?" "I asked k9 how he knew dion was a cop," "And he said that I told him." "You told him?" "Yeah, but I didn't, frank." "I didn't." "Vic, all's I'm saying is, you lose a member of your team," "Guys take it in different ways." "Some it hits right away." "Others it -- others it takes a little while." "You wondering which one I am?" "Yeah." "I guess I'm the, uh, "takes a while" type." "I remember when my mother died," "It didn't hit me for about a year," "And then, one day, all of a sudden," "I just " " I couldn't stop the waterworks." "So you think you're gonna feel something about dion down the line?" "Yeah." "Why wouldn't I?" "He was on my team." "'cause he was gay." "Oh, man." "I knew it." "I could just tell, you know?" "Yeah?" "You could?" "Look, man, don't get me wrong, okay?" "I don't mean any disrespect to the dead," "But I don't like gays." "But so what?" "You know, dion..." "He was a good cop, I guess," "For one of them." "Yeah, well, you know, what are you gonna do?" "You got to work with them, right?" "I know." "You know, and that's prejudice right there" "Against the rest of us." "Yeah, you got that right." "And, you know, just between you and me," "If -- if I'd have known dion was gay" "And I had to work with him, man, that perils my life." "That guy's out there and he's making gun buys" "With some very dangerous people." "It crossed my mind, man." "I'll tell you that." "Oh, it did?" "I thought you said you didn't know that dion was gay." "No, I meant if I had known," "Maybe I would have thought twice about working with him." "Come on, vic." "You knew, right?" "You knew he was gay." "You know what, man?" "You're going down the wrong road." "What road is that?" "I would never burn a cop for any reason." "Well, somebody burned him." "It wasn't me." "Thanks for the drink." "You know, man, I don't get you guys." "I mean, who you working for now, huh, me or I.A.?" "He's got a point." "Yeah, this is tommy." "Hey, larissa." "Yeah, I didn't -- kind of." "Can I call you back?" "Okay." "You know what you're doing?" "It's not what you think, okay?" "I hope not." "Hey, did you find out where, uh," "Where carmen got her daughter?" "It's k9's kid." "Well, that solves that mystery." "Did you get anywhere on dion being gay" "Is the reason he got made?" "No." "No, that's, uh - that's a waste of time, frank." "Where the hell did you get this?" "When we were moving, uh, the stuff from your place." "Remember, it was behind the mirror?" "It's one of the bugs I. A. Put in your house." "You know, I think I got so caught up in my own crap" "About dion being gay that I was blind to everything else." "Well, we had to look at it, right?" "Yeah, we did." "Just leaves us with only one reason as to why he got made." "He made a mistake somewhere." "Okay, the only problem with that is carmen had the wire on k9," "So they were listening to him." "If dion got burned, they would have heard something." "Unless the listeners were being listened to." "Okay." "You've got three bugs in your surveillance van," "Plus the one in your car." "Bad guys have been listening to you the whole time." "But that's good for me, right?" "I mean, that proves that I didn't burn dion," "And if I'm snitching to k9," "I wouldn't need to bug the van or my car." "Maybe." "Maybe they'll say you planted it yourself" "To prove you're not playing a double game." "Frank's right." "They're the same bugs that we use," "Which means that you had access to them." "Me and every other cop in my squad." "There's one guy who knows for sure" "Who's behind all this, and that's k9." "We need to get a message to him to come and see you." "At least now we know how." "Psst!" "Hey." "I've been looking for you since last night." "I'm here now, okay?" "So, how much you want?" "Just give me four." "Four?" "$320 for four." "I'm short $40." "Just front me, all right?" "Nah." "Look, there's a convenience store right there." "Bank machine." "Why don't you go there real quick?" "I'll be right here." "You wait for me right here." "I'll be here." "Relax." "Just give me what you got." "Give me what you got." "Shoot it if you're brave." "Huh?" "Shoot it!" "You think I'm playing with you?" "Hey, you, clown!" "Police!" "Put your weapon down!" "It's clear-cut a wself-defense.Ere." "Yeah." "Lucky me." "Look, I got to do this, and you know I do." "You stayed at rabbi's after I left," "And then you talked to jill." "Yeah, I know where you're going." "I had four beers." "Bbi will back me up on it." "I was off duty." "Well, the shooting's clean, so maybe that's gonna be okay." "The guy drew down on me." "I had him cold, and he still drew down on me." "I know." "Seriously." "Three deaths in one year." "I'm gonna be riding the desk for sure." "Probably, yeah." "Bad luck equals bad cop." "Billy, you're not a bad cop." "You're one of the best I know." "Yeah, 'cause I got no civilian dna left." "And I'm gonna what?" "Sit behind a desk, like an accountant?" "I'd have been better if he got the shot off." "Billy." "Civvies." "No vest." "It would have been quick." "Billy, enough." "I'm a cop, frank." "I got to keep working." "Maybe back in uniform." "Put me back in uniform." "I'll do traffic radar and pay duties on movies." "Easy stuff, okay?" "I'll see what I can do," "But right now, you got to go home." "Home." "Home." "She's right about keeping working." "Yeah, she's too good a cop to be on a desk." "I see you got my message." "Here we go." "Yeah, I heard you loud and clear." "Who told you your car was bugged?" "Look, either you tell me who's behind dion getting killed" "Or you never see your daughter again." "Which is it?" "I can't imagine." "Why did you choose this place?" "'cause this is where you killed a cop." "No, that wasn't my idea, carmen." "I just thought that we should walk away." "Why didn't you?" "Because dion, the cop guy, he got suspicious that we made him," "So he went to the I.A. , and he had to be stopped." "So who wanted him dead?" "The same guy who bugged your van." "I want a name." "You know what pisses me off about you?" "Family means nothing." "Me, my daughter - that's my family." "Which you would not have if it wasn't for me." "Look, I'm not interested in taking you down right now, okay?" "That's gonna happen to you someday." "I just want to know who set me up, antonio." "Who bugged the van?" "Okay, I'll tell you" "Just because you can't prove it, carmen." "This guy is too smart." "My first time in juvie, I met this guy." "He was in on a little tagging thing, just a couple of months." "Anyway, he was getting used up like a girl by everybody," "And he was willing to promise anything up for protection," "And he wanted in with us," "Except your old man, he had a better idea." "He said, "what if this guy became a cop?"" "Anyway, we kept his record clean." "Now he joined the police," "And now he's in a place where no cop can touch him." "I thought you said no other cops!" "I didn't do this, antonio!" "No!" "What the hell is I. A. Doing here?" "Tell my kid I love her!" "Stop or I shoot!" "Antonio, no!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Antonio, no!" "On the ground!" "On the ground!" "You're under arrest for homicide!" "Antonio!" "Get off." "Hey, what the hell you doing?" "Let her go!" "She's wearing a wire!" "She was working him!" "What are you talking about?" "Is there a tape to go with this wire?" "No, we were listening till we heard what we wanted." "Then we were gonna pass it on to major crimes" "Until you came along and screwed it up." "What are you saying?" "You set this meeting up?" "Carmen's van was bugged." "It's how k9 knew that dion was a cop." "We set this up." "He was gonna tell her who was behind it." "She was behind it." "We just got back from her place, and guess what we found." "Everything she needed to do it -- bugs, listening devices." "She bugged her own van." "How the hell did you get a search warrant for that?" "I told you, ruiz has a c.I." "He said carmen met k9 last night." "And he gave her a birthday present for his daughter." "Well, this just wraps up nice and neat for you, now, doesn't it?" "Yeah, it does." "Let's go." "Check on my kid, please, frank?" "I'll send a lawyer down." "You're making a big, big mistake." "We'll see about that, but this is a crime scene," "So you guys got to back off now." "Isn't it convenient how ruiz got a c.I." "Who knows about everything?" "Please tell me you taped that." "Yeah, I got it." "You understand?" "Except your old man, he had a better idea." "He said, "what if this guy became a cop?"" "Anyway, we kept his record clean." "Now he joined the police," "And now he's in a place where no cop can touch him." "Okay." "So, what's that prove?" "That's your partner's file." "Wow." "Now you really are reaching." "He did 4 months in juvie for tagging when he was 14." "K9 was there, too." "Ruiz is the guy that k9's talking about." "Eh, I don't believe that." "Come on, rytell, you know there's something not right about him." "He says he's got this c.I." "Ever seen this person?" "No." "The only way he could have known" "That carmen was meeting with k9 this morning" "Was if he was listening in to their conversation." "Son of a bitch." "So, the trouble is, we got nothing solid on him." "Son of a bitch!" "I mean, I got half a mind to take him out myself." "Where does he live?" "Motel room." "It's weird, right, he " "He says big rooms make him nervous." "I told you, he's paranoid." "Yeah, you've said." "I say it's about time we find out just how paranoid." "What about carmen?" "Yeah, well, I talked to rytell." "He said that I.A. 's clearing her." "All right." "Oh, did you hear about that undercover cop" "That shot that guy last night?" "Yeah, isn't she the one that's already killed three people this year?" "Yeah." "I want her back in uniform." "Really?" "And you're gonna personally vouch for her?" "Yeah." "Well, it's gonna cost you a few more names off that client list," "You know, when those cops are running those hookers." "How about a judge?" "Make it two, you got a deal." "All right." "Oh, hey, ed?" "If I were you, I'd have my office swept for bugs." "Never know." "Stand up." "I'm gonna check you for a wire." "Your turn." "Oh." "satisfied?" "Sit down." "What's this about, frank?" "Well, I just wanted to share with you the good news." "Carmen's in the clear." "What the hell are you talking about?" "I know what you did." "So does your partner." "Oh, yeah?" "What did I do?" "You burned dion." "You got him killed." "I don't know what you're talking about." "You were in juvie with k9." "You work for his family." "Oh, yeah." "Who's gonna believe you?" "Nobody." "You think you can take me down?" "You got no evidence on me, frank." "You took yourself down" "When you shot k9 to keep him from talking." "You think his family's just gonna let you walk away from that?" "They owe me, and they know it." "Without me, they're right back where they started." "You think they're gonna jeopardize that?" "Never gonna happen." "You know, ruiz..." "The thing about looking into other people's lives," "It's a two-way street." "Everybody's got something" "They don't want anybody to know about, especially you," "And all you got to do is listen real close" "And you can find out anything." "What the hell does that mean?" "It's over for you." "You know what?" "You're next, frank." "There's a lot of people out there" "That want to take you down." "They're just looking for a way," "And I'm gonna make sure they find that way." "Who is it?"
