"Yo, love to everybody." "I wanna thank you for coming to my album release party." "Back from the Ashes, you know what I'm sayin'?" "It feels good to be back behind the mic!" "RONDELL:" "Hey, yo!" "Kern!" "Do that duet with Tyesha." "Rondell in the house!" "Where's Tyesha at?" "Where's Tyesha at?" "Come here, ma." "This is Kern's party, y'all." "My release party ain't gonna be for another month." "Trouble." "TYESHA:" "You can hear me sing then." "T-BONZ:" "Where my money, Kern?" "THUG:" "There go the thief right there!" "I want my money, homey!" "Where my money, Kern?" "I want my money!" "RONDELL:" "Back off!" "T-BONZ:" "My beef ain't with you." "What?" "If it's with Kern, then it's with me." "DANNY:" "This is a private party." "LEMONHEAD:" "Back off." "You can't be getting into trouble." "DANNY:" "You hear me, or do I have to call in the cavalry?" "Step back." "Police can't protect you forever, Kern." "Remember that!" "DANNY:" "Get out of here." "Go." "It's T-Bonz, homey." "RONDELL:" "Get outta here, man." "DANNY:" "You heard me." "Go."

"T-Bonz and his crew were looking for a fight and Rondell and some of Kern's guys gave it to 'em." "VIC:" "Don't tell me..." "LEMONHEAD:" "Rondell was the shooter." "VIC:" "That's just what we needed." "DUTCH:" "Hey, Vic." "You're missing all the fun." "VIC:" "Dutch..." "How many times I gotta tell you, you can't feel up the women?" " Took one in the ass, but it's..." " Not the first time." "Right." "That's a good one." "VIC:" "Look who's the last one to a shots-fired call." "All safe and secure, Captain." "Shooting's stopped." "Nothing to worry about here." "You two were moonlighting?" "LEMONHEAD:" "Our shift commander signed off on it." "Any suspects in custody?" "The night is young." "Let me do my thing."

"Can you ID any of them?" "I can look through the books." "VIC:" "This thing will spill onto the street quick." "We better tell both generals to stand down their armies." " Starting where?" " Kern Little." "Who's Kern Little?" "Listen, Dutch boy don't get your clogs all dirty." "We'll deal with Kern Little." "[Knocking]" "RONDELL:" "Who is it?" "VIC:" "Open up, Rondell!" "RONDELL:" "Whassup, Vic?" "Why'd you shoot up The Chez Club last night?" "RONDELL:" "Hey, man." "T" " Bonz and Kern got this war going on." "I'm just backing' up my boy." "VIC:" "Who's that?" "Kern?" "This thing hi-def?" "RONDELL:" "Yeah." "Don't get your prints on it, man." "LEMONHEAD:" "Sweet." "RONDELL:" "Yeah, look." "We been hangin' since we was kids." "We're still tight." "Don't you mean Kern financed your entry into the drug business?" "Yeah, no comment." "But that's the rumor." "What's the beef between Kern and T-Bonz?" "T-Bonz used to be on Kern's record label." "Then he blew up, started selling a lot of discs." "T" " Bonz split, started his own outfit." "Bad blood ever since." "LEMONHEAD:" "What's with all the vinyl here?" "RONDELL:" "It sounds better." "Would you put those back the way you found 'em?" "That's my Blue Note collection." "I got 'em chronological from..." "Did you hit anybody last night?" "Look." "If somebody got smoked, it wasn't me."

"I don't want any more targets on the street." "Vic, man, come on." "Business gonna take a big hit." "Then take it." "You get to deliver product only so long as this area doesn't resemble the goddamn Gaza Strip." "That was our deal." "You remember?" "Yeah, I remember." "VIC:" "Set up a meet." "Me and Kern Little." " Why you need me to do that, man?" " You two are buds." "I want it to be on friendly terms." "RONDELL:" "Anything else, man?" "VIC:" "Yeah..." "I need two shooters from your side." "Come on, man." "You can't..." "No." "Is it gonna be you?" "When I run your gun through ballistics?" "Or you got some names for me?" "VIC:" "Welcome to the barn." "LEMONHEAD:" "Make yourselves at home."

"You remember how we talked about it." " I'll wing it." " David..." "ACEVEDA:" "I'm joking." "This could be our one chance." "Don't joke." "AURORA:" "Ready?" "ACEVEDA:" "As I'll ever be." "Señor Machado." "I'm David Aceveda." "MACHADO:" "Our young Police Captain." "Welcome." "ACEVEDA:" "It's an honor, sir." "This is my wife, Aurora." "What a wonderful housing development." "Gracias." "It's a step forward in improving our neighborhood." " I'm glad you both could come." " Thank you for including us." "I'm in your debt." "Don't think me overly generous, David." "As you'll discover, I often have ulterior motives." "You see, you're actually in a position to help me." "How so?" "My nanny hasn't seen her husband since he left the house a few days ago." "He's a day worker." "Waits for jobs by the home improvement center in your district." "Is this absence unusual for him?" "Not exactly." "They are an emotional couple." "They fight." "He leaves." "He comes back." "But he's never been gone this long." "My nanny's quite upset, which means my wife is upset." "Which means, well..." "I don't have to tell you what that means." "Just give me the pertinent information." "I'd be glad to help." "Looks as if I am now in your debt." "[RB music playing]" "KERN:" "You listening to this?" "LEMONHEAD:" "It's sweet."

"Kern's not under arrest, is he?" "Unfortunately for those tabloid hacks, no." "We just needed his statement." "KERN:" "Which I gave." " And his help with this war." " Well, it's not Kern." "It's his boys trying to protect him." "'Cause T-Bonz is just plain crazy." "Everybody knows that." "LEMONHEAD:" "Don't worry about T-Bonz." "We'll deal with him." "I need you to give the word to your crew." "The war's over." "KERN:" "Right after T-Bone gives his word." "I mean, T-Bone's the one that spilled blood on my turf." "I'm nothin' if not a man of peace." "Dutch?" "I'm hunting known associates on those shooters Mackey brought in." "Are we ever getting DSL around here?" "This is Ellie Ruiz." "I need you to help her out." "I'm working the Chez Club." "ACEVEDA:" "Shockley can handle it." "I need you to help find Ellie's husband Manuel." "Gracias." "I can't believe we're doing this for some fat cat's nanny." " You'd be happier if it was his mistress?" " It's abuse of power." "You're upset you got pulled off a big case."

"CLAUDETTE:" "Right." ""Yo no se."" "Means ''I don't know.'' You hear it enough, it sinks in." "DUTCH:" "Missing hombre?" "MAN:" "Yeah, mucho hambre." "Si." "McDonald." "CLAUDETTE:" "Manuel Ruiz!"

"Don't you make me break a sweat trying to catch you." "What the hell are you doing out?" "AARON:" "Business." "VIC:" "Rondell ordered you off the street." "Not us." "Run on home." "What am I gonna tell the boss?" "I am the boss." "What am I gonna tell Rondell?" "Don't worry." "I'll tell him for you." "Whassup, man?" "VIC:" "I saw two of your guys on the street." "RONDELL:" "It's a free country." "VIC:" "Nothing's free." "I'm your landlord." "I let you use space that I own." "You can't follow by my rules, then I'll find someone who can." "VIC:" "You got me?" "Gotcha." "Now, smart-ass who else you got dealing, and where?" "Manuel got picked for a job on Tuesday along with another man." "DUTCH:" "Eduardo Salcido." "CLAUDETTE:" "Salcido." "ACEVEDA:" "Any connection between Manuel and Eduardo?" " They were best friends in Mexico." " Snuck into the country together." "But something happened on that truck ride over." "Ever since, Eduardo's been telling people that he's gonna kill Manuel." "ACEVEDA:" "We know who hired the two of them?" "CLAUDETTE:" "A truck loader said Jamison Contracting." "Track it down." "Find out if they ever showed up for work." "[Radio chatter]" "DISPATCH:" "All units, code 2-13." "Intersection of Alvarado and Pine." "LEMONHEAD:" "Our corner." "VIC:" "Goddamn it!"

"Whatever." "He's invested." "GILROY:" "Any word on the kid's condition?" "VIC:" "He's busted up pretty bad." "So I got nothing good to tell the Chief." "How do I explain these four dead thugs?" "VIC:" "A war." "Two rappers." "I know who they are." "Look, I'm handling it." "I told the Chief that the Strike Team would make a difference." "That these things would stop happening." "I'm not seeing the difference." "Temporary setback." "GILROY:" "Chief allows me to appropriate funds for you based on results." "If I can't defend you, I can't afford you." "SHOCKLEY:" "Vic." " I thought you should know." " Know what?" "Kid was DOA." "I'm handling it." "Knock, knock." "Have a seat." "VIC:" "All right." "Tough guy." "VIC:" "This war ends right here with a handshake." "T-BONZ:" "This fool stole my money and woman and you expect me to be a gentleman?" "LEMONHEAD:" "Tyesha was your woman?" "T-BONZ:" "Hell, yeah." "VIC:" "We're not signing autographs here." "GIRL:" "Okay." "So, basically, this is a dick-wagging contest over a piece of ass?" "This ain't about no piece of ass." "This is about $2 million that fool right there owe me." "KERN: $2 million?" "VIC:" "What $2 million?" "T-BONZ:" "Tyesha's money from the last CD." "I broke her." "Where my cut?" "First up, calm down, money." "I'm a businessman." "I can be fair." "But $2 million?" "You must be smoking crack." "I'll give you a finder's fee or something." "Straighten you out." "T-BONZ:" "I was doing your ass a favor." "You owe me at least $10 million." "KERN:" "You know what, T?" "I'm gonna keep it real with you." "Tyesha wasn't even selling' records, till I hooked her up." "And that's real." "T-BONZ:" "Is that real?" "VIC:" "Look..." "Your 10 lawyers can do battle with his 10 lawyers or we can settle this right here." "All right?" " I'm gonna get my money, bitch." " Over my dead body, bitch." "T-BONZ:" "Damn, that sound like a good idea." "VIC:" "Shut up!" "VIC:" "Here's the deal." "Kern..." "You take tonight and come up with a number." "You revise yours down a bit." "You bring me the numbers." "I'll decide what's fair." "And who you supposed to be?" "Judge Judy?" "[Laughing]" "I'm an impartial arbitrator with the power to throw both of your asses in the can." "Now..." "I'm calling a 24-hour cease-fire." "Your boys break it, I break you." "Same goes for you." "This war ends here." "They come here of their own accord." "Nobody's coercing them." "A family of five moving to another country just to eat isn't coercion?" "DUTCH:" "You know why they come here?" "Five words. "Free markets." "Rule of law."" "You have those two things, it creates prosperity." "Prosperity creates jobs people want." "$40 for a full day's work isn't prosperity, son." "It's exploitation, and you wouldn't do it." "DUTCH:" "Excuse me!" "JAMISON:" "Can I help you?" "Yeah, we're looking for a worker named Eduardo." "Throw a rock." "You're bound to hit one." "Have you seen this guy?" "JAMISON:" "Yeah." "Jose." "Manuel." "JAMISON:" "He showed up a few days ago worked for one day, got paid." "Never saw him again." "What'd he do?" "Do you have any idea what happened to him?" "Don't know." "Don't care." "Mind if we ask around for Eduardo?" "JAMISON:" "Ask away." "DUTCH:" "Thanks." "[Spanish music playing]" "DUTCH:" "Eduardo?" "WORKER:" "Yo no se." "CLAUDETTE:" "Eduardo?" "CLAUDETTE:" "You got an Eduardo?" "WORKER #2:" "It's not me." "I think he's working down over there." "[Dutch and Claudette calling]" "Hey!" "DUTCH:" "Stop right there!" "I said stop!" "DUTCH:" "Eduardo!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "San Salvador's that way!" "ACEVEDA:" "These the triggermen at the Chez Club?" "DANNY:" "Some of them, I think." "It happened fast." "Rondell Robinson." "You saw him firing a gun in the club?" "Yeah." "Beautiful." "You know who he is?" "Yes, I do." "RONDELL:" "Let's make this short and sweet." "Wherever you think I was, I wasn't." "Whatever you think I did, I didn't." "ACEVEDA:" "That's your story?" "Cover to cover." " I wouldn't plan on selling the movie rights." " I'll just have to settle for starring' in it." "You're a murder suspect, Rondell." "I've got a witness who saw you pull the trigger at the club last night." "RONDELL:" "Yeah, right." "What witness?" "A cop." "And a jury's gonna love her." "I got a phone call comin', right?" "ACEVEDA:" "You've only got one thing left to deal." "And that's who's giving you protection." "RONDELL:" "I don't need protection." "Even if we can't tie you to one of the dead bodies  discharging a firearm in a crowded club..." "Bye-bye, Rondell." "So, about that phone call?" "If you think that you can sell drugs and commit murder in my district because a cop's protecting you you're dead wrong." "VIC:" "I thought I told you to lay low." "I was kickin' it, listenin' to Miles Davis when this captain shows up." " He get anything?" " No." "I always keep my crib clean." "But he's got a serious bug up his ass about some cop protecting me." "Just keep your mouth shut." "I'll handle Aceveda." "ACEVEDA:" "We have indications Manuel's disappearance may have involved foul play." "MACHADO:" "Really?" "You don't know for sure?" "We have a suspect." "He won't be able to elude us for long." "Once we capture him, we'll know more." "Thank you for making this matter a top priority, David." "You'll keep me apprised?" "Of any developments." "Is there something else?" "At the risk of having an ulterior motive myself..." "MACHADO:" "Yes?" "I know that police officers aren't accorded the same respect in this community as they were a decade ago." "An unfortunate development." "However Latinos are a plurality in Los Angeles  and in this district." "There is going to be a seat opening up on the City Council next year." "It's traditionally been filled with a black candidate." "I think it's our time." "I agree." "With your backing I could win that seat." "I could be of great use to you." "I like you, David, quite a bit, but I don't think I can sell a cop to these voters." "MACHADO:" "Not here." "Not now." "Who knows, maybe in time, things will become much different." "Until then, I'm sorry." "ACEVEDA:" "What do you think of a man who exposed corruption?" "Brought down dirty cops from inside the department?" "I'd think he was committing professional suicide." "But could you sell him to the voters?" "Absolutely." " We got a call about a kidnapping." " They took my boy Thurmon." "JULIEN:" "When did you find out?" "DOTTIE:" "Today." "I got a ransom call asking for $10,000." "I don't have it!" "DANNY:" "When did you see him last?" "DOTTIE:" "Three weeks." " How long has he been missing?" " Since last night." " The last time you spoke with him?" " A month ago." "DANNY:" "How do you know he's only been missing since last night?" "Cemetery called." "Somebody dug up his body." " Thurmon's dead?" " Goin' on three weeks." "Code 4." "Cancel that backup, please." "DISPATCH:" "Roger that, 10-4." "DANNY:" "Ma'am, if the kidnapper calls back, call us." "You're not gonna help me?" "To be honest, they'll just push it to the bottom." "Detectives..." "They have more important things to do." "But it's a crime, isn't it?" "Digging up my son, holding it for ransom." "Yes, ma'am." "So you two will help me, then, right?" "Julien, you stay with her." "I'll ride solo." "Ma'am." "[Door buzzes]" "VIC:" "Hey." "I got a little problem." " What's that?" " The guy you ID'd today?" "He's a C.I. Of mine." "Really?" "VIC:" "Yeah." "He's the guy who gave me the other shooters." "He was firing in self-defense." "None of his shots killed anybody." "I was hoping maybe your memory could get a little fuzzy on this one." "DANNY:" "I don't know." "Aceveda's already all over this one." "VIC:" "But if it ever goes to trial..." "I don't know." "Let me think about it." "That's all I ask." "That's Thurmon right there." "JULIEN:" "I went to high school with him." "Did you know him?" "JULIEN:" "He and his friends used to beat me up all the time." "It's okay." "He made a better student out of me." "You know, I hid out in the library until I grew nine inches my junior year." "He was killed robbing a liquor store." "Thurmon?" "He was a thief." "He did drugs." "I was afraid to tell you." "I would've helped you anyway." "JULIEN:" "Maybe he didn't find his path here on earth, but he's with Jesus now." "You believe that?" "I know that." "[Phone rings]" "Hello." "MAN: [Distorted] You get the money?" "Yes, where's my son's body?" "MAN:" "Bring the money to the cemetery at 10:00 sharp." "What?" "MAN:" "Bring the money to the cemetery at 10:00 sharp." "I can't understand you." "MAN: [Normal voice] Bring it to the cemetery at 10:00  or Thurmon's body will be chopped up and you'll never see him again." "Henry, is that you?" "COP:" "Face front." "[Prisoners muttering]" "JULIEN:" "Did you hate her that much?" "HENRY:" "No." "She's all right." "We dated for a while." "Then why'd you do it?" " Why'd I do it?" " Yeah." "Why'd I do it?" "Knew she had life insurance on her boy." "Wanted to take my new lady on one of them cruises." "But Dottie spent all the insurance money on Thurmon's funeral." "[Grunts]" "CORRINE:" "Can you make it Thursday?" "VIC:" "How many problems could a 5-year-old have?" "CORRINE:" "Enough for an appointment with a developmental pediatrician." "[Matthew barking]" "Matthew thinks he's a dog now." "A German shepherd." "So what?" "You're not here all the time." "You don't see everything." "VIC:" "See what?" "CORRINE:" "The problems." "Why do you have to fight me on this?" "VIC:" "I'm not." "[Matthew screaming]" "Okay, I'll try." "I'll try, okay." "[Barking]" "CORRINE:" "I'm really losing it." "Why don't you go take a bath?" "I'll put the kids to bed." "Okay." "[Corrine giggles]" "DANNY:" "Good night." "Thanks." "DANNY:" "Hey, I'm a cop!" "THUG:" "Get down." "THUG:" "Don't scream." "DANNY:" "I said, I'm a cop!" "THUG:" "And I'm a cop killer  but not tonight." "Tonight's just to show you how we gonna do it." "What do you want?" "THUG:" "Forget what you saw at the Chez Club." "Understand?" "Yeah." "I understand." "THUG:" "Come on." "You piece of shit!" "Somethin' wrong, officer?" "You think you can get to me." "RONDELL:" "You better take some kind of pill." "Damn." "You listen to me." "I'm a cop." "You don't scare me." "I don't know what you're talkin' about." "You do look scared, though." "DANNY:" "I'll catch you outside." "JULIEN:" "Meet you out there." "What was all that between you and my C.I.?" "Did you tell him that I was the one who ID'd him?" "Of course not." " What's goin' on?" " He sent guys after me last night." "They put a gun to my head and told me to forget what I saw at the club." " You should take the day off." " No, I should go after these pricks." "Let me take care of this." "You know what?" "I can take care of myself." "[Door slamming]" "VIC:" "You went after a cop?" "RONDELL:" "Vic." "I just scared her, man." "VIC:" "Cops are off-limits." "RONDELL:" "I'm not goin' away for shootin' at somebody who shot at me." "VIC:" "I was taking care of it." "RONDELL:" "I didn't know." "I had to do somethin', man." "VIC:" "Take your drug money and bail yourself out." "RONDELL:" "And then what?" "In the year and a half it'll take for this thing to go to trial I'll make it go away." "RONDELL:" "I can't take no chances, Vic!" "VIC:" "The biggest chance you could've taken was to piss me off and that's exactly what you did." "You see him?" "CLAUDETTE:" "Nope." "But I got you a Spanish-English phrase book." "My gift to you." "Muchas gracias." "Third day you're checking the real estate section." " What's the deal?" " None ya." "DUTCH:" "What's that, Spanish?" "CLAUDETTE:" "English. ''None ya business.''" " We're partners." "Come on, share." " Wanna share?" "Here's the sports page." "I'll find out." "I'm a detective." "DUTCH:" "There he is." "CLAUDETTE:" "Bingo, gringo." "DUTCH:" "Eduardo Salcedo?" "[Reading Miranda rights in Spanish]" "[Guys laughing]" "DUTCH:" "You and Manuel were on the same truck." "DUTCH:" "You went to work together." "EDUARDO:" "Si, por Jamison." "DUTCH:" "Did you kill him after work ended?" "EDUARDO:" "No." "So you killed him on the way to work, then." "No." "DUTCH:" "Where is he, Eduardo?" " How come his wife hasn't heard from him?" " Yo no se." "Spare me the yo no se's." "We know." "EDUARDO:" "You know?" "DUTCH:" "About the garage." "You hated Manuel." "You told people you wanted to kill him." "[Speaking Spanish]" "EDUARDO:" "He my friend." "DUTCH:" "Used to be." "Until the trip." "CLAUDETTE:" "What happened on that truck?" "EDUARDO:" "What truck?" "DUTCH:" "The one that snuck you and Manuel across the border." "DUTCH:" "Why did you want to kill him?" "EDUARDO:" "Nothing." "DUTCH:" "You fight?" "What?" "EDUARDO:" "Nothing!" "DUTCH:" "He did something." "Nothing happened!" "CLAUDETTE:" "Was it personal?" "He hurt you?" "EDUARDO:" "I didn't kill Manuel." "So Manuel is dead." "Yo no se." "CLAUDETTE:" "Stay here, Eduardo." " You ask me, he was raped." " What?" "CLAUDETTE:" "I sound like Dutch with one of his theories, but my first few years on the job I practically lived in hospitals taking statements from rape victims." "He's got that look." "ACEVEDA:" "The look?" "Nervousness, isolation." "But it's mostly in the eyes." "Raped in a truck sneaking into the country?" "How is that possible?" "It's possible." "What do you mean, sounds like one of my theories?" "[Vic chuckles]" "What's with the getups?" "Avoiding cameras." "So what's the problem?" "This is the goddamn problem." "He poisoned my baby." "Gave him some meat over the fence." "He choked to death." "VIC:" "T-Bonz?" "TYESHA:" "Of course." "TYESHA:" "He's got to pay." "KERN:" "She supposed to be finishing her album." "TYESHA:" "How can I work after this?" "Look at him!" "TYESHA:" "Game-over for T-Bonz." "Be a man." "KERN:" "I know." "You know how much this setback is costing' me?" "Get that thing off my table." "TYESHA:" "The goddamn bastard has to pay." "KERN:" "That's T-Bonz breaking the truce." "TYESHA:" "Will you be a man, or do I have to find someone else to do it?" "KERN:" "Look..." "I told you, this is why we're here." "I know what I gotta do, all right?" "All right?" "I just need you to help me do it." " Do what?" " Do the deed." "KERN:" "T-Bonz." "I know where he's holed up at." "But I can't get to him." "A man with a badge could, though." "Why would I do something like that?" "Money."

"You should have seen the look on these kids' faces." "It was like Christmas." "My goddamn records, man!" "You went after a cop, Rondell." "You should thank me." "All right?" "I talked him out of doin' a lot worse." "ACEVEDA:" "The District Attorney is content that Manuel's death was accidental." "I see." "This Mr. Jamison, what is his punishment?" "CLAUDETTE:" "He's guilty of tampering with evidence." "Be fined and released." "Señora Ruiz, I am truly sorry about your husband." "This man Jamison work for a large company, no?" "Yes."
