"Are you disrespecting me?" "Yeah, I am, so watch yourself, tough guy." "I said I want a rematch." "You know what, dean?" "Just give the man another shot, huh?" "One more chance, one more chance." "That was double or nothing." "I mean, you're just gonna lose your money again." "If you don't want a rematch, then give me my money back." "Hey, party people, another round of cocktails on me, huh?" "Stay out of this." "I'm-a tell you one more time " "Give me back my money." "Yeah, all right." "oh!" "Here we go." "Dean will slam the trunk when it's a done deal." "Then we make the arrest." "There are a lot of guys." "Yeah, but they're all wasted." "Look at them." "We'll be fine." "I hope you scrub this stuff good." "I want it nice and clean." "That's what we do -- 24-hour laundry service." "Whoo-whee, powder business pays well, huh?" "I'm telling you -- Selling heroin should be against the law."

"Sync:" "FRS@×··çÓê¿´²Êºç dark.blue.s01ep04" " Is kang reliable?" " oh, yeah... for a big-mouth, heroin-selling sociopath." "He's worth a shot." "I mean, we're talking about president lee here and not your local bookie, so..." "We could have arrested kang on money laundering and dismantled the entire heroin operation." "Why would we sell that out to take a flier on lee?" "We're just postponing, man." "kang's talking trash, we bust him." "If he's still here." "He's a korean citizen, flies back and forth to seoul all the time." "If you really want to take that risk..." " Lee's head of the whole damn korean mafia." " ...for a fishing expedition." "Yeah, but he's not fish." "He's a whale." "But if that doesn't interest you and you want to go back to the suburbs," " cook turkey burgers " " Shut up, both of you." "Touch base with kang tomorrow, see if he's serious." "If he is, take a shot with lee." "If not, take him down." "Be thankful you're not going deep on this one." "Go home." "Relax." "See your wife." "We're talking about a few more days." "Look, partner, the act plays out a lot better if we read off the same script." " What does that mean?" " You know exactly what it means." " I'm just working the case, man." " you mean working carter." "No, chasing the big bust, like I always do..." "Like you used to." "What the hell did you just say?" "Thanks for the invite."

"Dawg, that's the last thing I need, okay " "Some teller from the valley with expectations." "Might as well put a bullet in your head, huh?" "No, I didn't mean it that way, okay?"

" Don't get cute." " I'm being serious." "The deeper the bow, the more the respect, so..." "Just get there on time." " Follow me." " You are?" "Jack walsh." "I work for president lee." "?" "Hi, I'm elsa." "Follow me." "Kang's told me great things about you two." "That's good to hear." "so, Where's president lee?" "Let's have a drink." "?" "He's coming, right?" "I'm his representative." "It's as if he's here himself." "Yeah, except he's not." "But it's not a problem." "I mean, I'm " " I'm sure kang has told you how we help people clean up their finances, off-shore bank accounts, shell corporations." "Is that all you do -- Help people wash money?" "Yeah, you could say that." "We're sort of specialists." "We do one thing." "We do it well." "My uncle pete always used to say," ""better to do one thing great than 10 things good."" "Enjoy your drink." "Pleasure to meet you." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait a minute." "You're just leaving now?" "Excuse me?" "My partner's a little upset because we were hoping " "No, we were promised a meeting withlee, not you, and our time is valuable, okay?" "And we didn't come here to sip soju with his masseuse." "You understand that?" "Hey, hey." "We didn't come for problems." "Hey." "What was this interview really about anyway, huh?" "Or, I mean, do you even have the power to say?" "I mean, what are you, honey, a coat-check girl?" "hmm?" "Okay." "Big man." "You want to know?" "Here." " You want this in $20s?" " It's counterfeit." "We want buyers -- 60 cents on the dollar." "But your partner says you don't dabble." "We didn't, uh, until now." "So you're interested?" "Yeah, absolutely." "what do you think, jorge?" "mm." "It's very, very pretty." "Some of the engraving is sharper than the real thing." "It's one of the only ways you know it's fake " " It's actually better than real money." "Watermark, security stripe." "My goodness." "Russian." " North korean." " I got it from a korean." "How'd you know?" "They call this a supernote." "It's very high-quality." "It's almost impossible to detect." "Russians and north koreans were making these." "So, this could be coming from overseas." "Mm, doubtful." "There was only a small batch made in the '90s." "Haven't seen any in a long time." "Feds cracked down pretty hard." "ah." " What is it?" " The paper -- it feels right, you know?" "That's one thing the north koreans could never get right was the paper." "Looks brand-new." "I'd say two weeks old, tops." "So, what do you need to make something like that?" "Intaglio press." "You got one of those, you got your own u.s. Mint." "How much money is she looking to sell?" "She didn't say, but knowing lee, probably a lot." "I mean, who knows?" "He may even have one of those intaglio presses." "I'm telling you, carter " " We are looking at a major counterfeiting ring here." "maybe." "Right now all we got is a cute korean chick and a $100 bill." "What do we know about this elsa?" "People are in and out of her apartment at all hours " "Kang, lee, walsh." "Looks like walsh is her personal bodyguard " "Picks her up and drops her off." "So, she's a player." "But it doesn't mean she's gonna introduce us to Mr. Lee." "From what I hear, he doesn't like to show his pretty face." " What's your point?" " That the clock is ticking on kang," " so I wouldn't " " Talk to elsa again, see if she can get you a sit-down with lee." "Meeting her tomorrow." "I already set it up." "Don't cut me off like that." "so, we talked to our client, and, you know, it turns that buying money for 60 cents on the dollar is a pretty popular idea." " If the quality is as good as what we saw." " The bills will be perfect." "The turnaround time -- you getting the bills shipped in?" " How much are you looking to purchase?" " $50,000." " Not a problem." " And will president lee be there?" "No." "President lee doesn't get involved in small transactions." "How much inventory do you have?" "That's not relevant." " How much?" " Half a million." "Oh, we'll take it -- The whole thing." " $300,000." "Getting that " " Yeah, it's not a problem." " Good." " Still too small for president lee?" "He'll be there." "That is what I'm talking about, t- money." "Kid, working it just like the old days, baby." "It was good." "That was good, felt good." "Yo, man, let's get a drink." "Come on." "Let's celebrate." "What about that one joint we used to hit around here?" "Remember?" "The one with the -- the thai dancer." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "What was her name -- astral?" "Or erin?" "Ariel." " Ariel, ariel." "Yo, man, you rember that little prick we used to take there?" " Petrosian." "Petrosian." " Petrosian." "Yeah." "Damn, he gave up like half the armenian mafia, didn't he?" "Yeah, well, we did give him about six lap dances and a bottle of jack, so..." "Yeah, I'm sure they weren't really dancing." "you know what I mean, dean?" "Only thing is " " Where we gonna come up with that kind of money?" "Hey, tomorrow's problem." "Where's my money?" "Kang, you know this stuff doesn't happen overnight." "You said you'd have it clean and in my bank account in 24 hours." "Actually, we said approximately 24" "Kang." "Come on, man." "Money's coming." "Just crossing some t's, dotting some I's." "That's why you hired us." "I don't like waiting." "It makes me nervous." "If you shoot dean, just say goodbye to the 10% kiss we talked about." "That mean you and lee are doing business?" "Tonight." "We're gonna talk about buying some fake cash." "Lucky for you." "Otherwise..." "Yo, I got a great idea." "Ta-da." ""ta-da" what?" "Our buy money." "You're gonna use kang's cash to buy the counterfeit money?" "We're saving it for another day." "Why not use it?" "We lose the dope money, we lose the bust." " Don't lose it." " That's not what i'm saying that." "Jaimie and I will be outside." "Signal us when you have enough to make the bust." " Scott, right?" " Excuse me?" "Scott -- your boyfriend, the a.d.a." "Things good?" "You happy?" "Right, scott." "Yeah, things are good." "How's your love life?" "Wear this." "You have to be deferential." "When the soju comes, president lee will drink first." " And always " " Pour with both hands." "We know." "This is president lee." "We drink." "President lee would like to see your money." " May we take it?" " Take it where?" "To a private room so we can count it." "Shouldn't take long." "That won't be a problem." "You can take our money when we see your money." "We'll deliver your merchandise later tonight." "You have the president's word." "How long?" "Two hours, maybe less." "You ain't touching the real money till we see the fake money." "?" "My friend is not used to doing business this way." "Please tell president lee we " "We don't trust him with $300,000 for two hours." "Hell, I don't trust my mother with that kind of money." "Get out!" "we should have just given him the money." "So they could rob us, find out we're cops?" "Who else hands over $300,000 on blind faith, dean, to someone they've never done business with?" " We were so close, too." " Yeah£¬but we had no choice." "Yeah, sure we did." "You just didn't have the stomach for it, ty." "Can we get another meeting or what?" "I meet with kang later today." "I can work him." "I can work this guy, right?" "Maybe he can smooth things over." "No, listen to me -- Kang is a waste of time." "He treats him like a bus boy." "Carter, it is elsa." "Elsa is the key." "He listens to her." "Yeah, he's absolutely right, just like she shook her head no and killed the whole damn deal." "Come on, man." "That chick wants nothing to do with us right now." "Get back with kang." "Process the money." "Let him know you're legit, but ask one more time about lee." " See if you can get another meeting." " And if we can't?" "Then we bust him on the money-laundering charge." "We just give up?" "We just walk away from " "We should probably get started on the paperwork for kang's bank accounts." "It's a good bust, partner." "It's a very safe bust, my friend, and I don't do paperwork." "Articles of incorporation for your shell company." "Here's your bank statement." "It's 325k." "That's $400,000, minus our consulting fee." "So, I can start making withdrawals." "Yeah, you can." "Look, kang, about last night " "Any way we can still make that happen with lee?" "My client " " He's still interested in buying lee's bills." "You pissed him off, dawg, bad." "This guy I represent -- He's serious." "So, damn straight, i'm gonna protect his investment just like I do yours." "Kang, you get me the meet, and I'll knock 50% off your next deposit." "Plus the 10% kickback on the counterfeit money." "Make it 15%." "Hey, man, remember me?" "What the hell are you doing here?" "Look, walsh, I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, okay?" "I just want another shot at lee." "You're talking to the wrong guy." "Come on, man." "That paper lee's looking to move is perfect, and there's no reason to ruin a good business opportunity just over some silly misunderstanding." "I think elsa would agree." " I don't speak for elsa." " Yeah, but you speaktoher, okay?" "And you get elsa to get me another shot with lee, and I'll make it worth your while." "I don't play that game, brother." "That's why i'm still breathing." "Walsh, we need our keg changed." "Take care of it." "Guess lee's not paying top dollar, huh?" "Go out the back." "How about an answer?" "Lee sees us talking, he's gonna kill us both." "Go." "Yeah, yeah." "Is that a yes?" "That's a favor." "Now get out of here, or I'm gonna kill you myself." "gentlemen." "?" "Look, I just need a little bit of backup, okay?" "Does carter know?" "Yeah, i talked to him about it right after I asked permission to take a leak." "What about ty?" "Ty can handle the paperwork on his own." "What's the deal between you two?" "It'll take 10 minutes, okay?" "I saw president lee head up to walsh's place to hold a meeting." "I'm talking about a crappy apartment above the bar where walsh works " "Wooden door, one lock." "Bobby pin, credit card -- Fsht!" " we're gone." "god!" "You scared me." "What are you doing here?" "I, uh " "I didn't think you were gonna be home." "Um, I think I left my bluetooth." "I called you, but you didn't pick up." "Not a problem." "Yeah, I don't know what the "taking a break" rules are." "Neither do i." "How have you been?" "Good." "Busy." "Um, you?" "Same." "hey, you know, uh, the lens is wide enough, but we're gonna n" " Need a -- - oh." "you must be -- You must be scott." "I'm dean bendis." "I work with jaimie." "Oh, good." "We're -- we're working on a case together." "Uh, gr" " I'm " " I'm actually gonna just grab tmy stuff." "I think it's probably on the night" " I'll get it." "I'll get it." " No, no, no, don't worry about it." "I made the bed." "Got it." "Great." "good luck with the case." " Uh, dean." " Scott." " Good meeting you." " Likewise." "Hey, jack." "Yeah?" "I hope it's okay that I waited here." "I'm sorry." "Do I know you?" "Oh, god." "You don't remember me?" "no." "Well," "I wanted to say thanks for what you did last week." "There was a fight in the bar." " Thursday." " Yeah." "Well, uh, the guy that you "handled"" "was my ex-boyfriend, complete asshole." "Well, we get a lot of those." "Yeah, I'm sure." "I was wondering if I could buy you a drink, you know, to say thank you." "No need." "All in a day's work." "Just one drink?" "I'll make it worth your while." "I'm sure that you would, but, uh, now's not a good time." "Excuse me." "That window was higher than I thought." "Couldn't get him to buy you a drink, huh?" "I don't think he likes blondes." "yeah, see?" "I told you this guy listens to elsa." "He takes her everywhere with him." "Kang is driving me crazy." "He wants me to meet with the americans again." "They have a lot of money behind them." "And a lot of arrogance, especially the black one." "Still, it's 60 cents on the dollar." "It's " "We have the press." "We call the shots." "There it is." "Not all business, huh?" "So, you're gonna tell kang now." "You tell him." "If I go, I'll lose my temper." "I have to go." "My daughter's dance recital." " Oh, father of the year." " ?" "I hope she does well." "The compassionate homewrecker " "I love it." "What?" "You didn't have a problem with it." "Oh, come on." "You said you were taking a break." "You didn't know that until today." "Don't be an idiot." "Don't say things like that." " What'd you do with him?" " Stop it." " Answer me." "Did you " " What if I did?" "What are you gonna do about it?" "T- two guys at the same time?" "I knew this elsa was a lying tramp." " This is great." " why?" "Because we can extort them." "where the hell you been?" "You know how much I hate voicemail." "Doing my job." "So, it turns out your boy jorge was right." "They have a press." "You're kidding." "Really?" "What else?" "Elsa's screwing lee, which I sort of suspected, but she's also screwing walsh." " She's horny." "So what?" " That's how we get to lee." " You want to blackmail them." " That's crazy." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, I'm pretty sure they don't want lee finding out they're boning." "I got kang on the hook already." "No." "you don't." "Kang is driving me crazy." "He wants me to meet with the americans again." "They have a lot of money behind them." "And a lot of arrogance, especially the black one." "See, lee " "He shot kang down because of the hissy fit you threw." "Now, carter, I can get back inside, but I have to do it alone." "You heard lee." "He doesn't want to do business with you." "He's right." "If you think you can use the affair to get back in, do it." "That's crazy.So, he just goes off, does his own thing," " and you let that slide." " Who says he's doing his own thing?" "Right, you're the puppet master." "Don't make this ugly, ty." "We got a clean bust, carter, just waiting there." "Why not arrest kang, flip him?" "No telling what he'll tell us about lee." "And then we get to the same place without all the risk." " And if he doesn't flip?" " We got a heroin dealer dead to rights on like five felonies." "I like dean's plan better." "Okay." "One day he's gonna roll a 7, and when he does " "Don't lecture me." "You again?" "Well, you know, our conversation got interrupted last time." "Like I said, I got nothing to talk about." "You piss off lee once, that's it." "Hey, now, that was my par-- My ex-partner pissed him off, not me." "Ex-partner?" "Yeah, well, you know, we've been having some problems." "It's not the first time he's done something like that." "Do I look like your shrink?" "No, but you look like a guy who could use some pocket change." "I mean, white guy in a korean gang?" "Come on." "What's the career potential in that, right?" "You don't know what I do." "You hold the door for a guy who pays you so little you got to moonlight in a bar." "But, walsh, if you get me back in with lee, i'll give you a piece of the action." "A piece, huh?" "You'll be rich by christmas." "Not interested." "You expecting a hug from lee when he finds out you're boning elsa?" " Excuse me?" " You and elsa " "You're screwing." "That's the problem with living over a bar, pal " "People like to talk." "Who the hell told you that?" "Yeah, it doesn't matter." "It's the truth." "And I am trying to be helpful here, okay?" "But if you're too stupid to realize that, then I got no choice but to play tough guy." "So, you're gonna get me back in with lee on the counterfeiting deal, or I'm gonna tell him whose pretty little ass you're tapping." "You got it?" "Or maybe I could just kill you instead." "Please." "You think i'm the only one who knows?" "I can't get you a meeting." "He doesn't listen to me." "but he listens to elsa." "How do I know you won't blackmail me again," " even if we make a deal?" " I'm a businessman." "I got not interest in ruining your love life." "I just want to buy some of that paper." "Can you still do 300k?" "Yeah, absolutely, but I want to see where lee prints the money." "Where we print the money isn't your concern." "Yeah, well, my partners want to know where the money comes from." "Okay, hey, like I said, they want to do more deals." "I'm talking a lot more deals." "I mean, there is a lot of bank to be made here, people." "But I just need to know you can deliver the goods." "What's our cut?" "10% of my fee." "I'll talk to lee." "That's the best decision you ever made." "guess what -- Deal is going down." " With lee?" " Oh, yes, and " " And you're gonna love this." "They're gonna show me where they print the money, too." "Might as well kill that golden goose while we're at it, right?" "He's gonna show you the press,and 24 hours ago he wouldn't even take your damn phone call." " It's called leverage." " What about the buy money?" "It's not a problem." " You knock off a bank?" " No, your friend jorge." "Says it'll pass, too." "You don't think that's a little risky, d?" "Yeah, well, just doing my job." "What's that mean, my friend?" "Just means you're more worried about getting home than getting a bust." " I'm sick of you." " Enough." "Sit on kang." "Make sure he doesn't leave town." "Get out of here." "Go." "Ty, go." "When you meet with lee, I want you to make the bust the second you see the counterfeit money." "Okay, and what about the press?" "Forget about the press." "This dance has been going on too long." "I want lee and the funny money in the same room." "That's good enough." "Got it?" "That a yes?" "yes." "chicken or beef?" "Beef." "I thought i had low self-esteem." "You asked me about me before." "I was married." "Had a..." "I had a good thing going." "?" "On my signal, get ready to move." "Yo, yo, if it ain't the money man." "i was gonna call you today." "Yeah?" "More green paper to clean?" "50k." "Music to my ears." "So, what can I do for you?" "I just came by to make sure everything was a-okay, you know, with your new banking situation." "Like I said, I'm all about customer service." "Good." "Matter of fact, made my first withdrawal today." "now, If you need anything, anything at all, you just call me." "Will do." "So, anyway, about the lee introduction " "Ain't gonna happen." "Fine by me, kang." "Hell, the more I think about it, the more I think lee was trying to rip us off." "lee?" "Are you crazy or something?" "I assume you're more trusting than your ex-partner." "May i?" "Absolutely." "We'll be back shortly." "If he was looking to do business for real, he at least would have shown me the counterfeit cash." "And you know he sure as hell wouldn't have tried to take my 300k for a 2-hour walk." "He's just careful, man." "Got people counting every penny and people checking to make sure that the money's real, using black lights and everything." "I got to make a phone call." "Be right back." "Pick up, dean." "Come on, buddy." "Come on, dean, pick up the phone." "Hey, man, where we going?" "President lee called." "I got a problem to deal with." " What kind of problem?" " Can't really get into it." "Maybe I can help." "Don't think so." "In case you haven't noticed, lee's not exactly a huge fan." "Damn, you got your game face on and all." "Must be important." "Put the gun down." "I'm a cop." " A cop?" " Yeah, l.a.p.d. You're under arrest." "You're kidding, right?" "What did lee say that was so damn important?" " Go to hell." " Tell me what he said." " I want a lawyer." " You mean you want a priest 'cause if you don't tell me what he said, i'm gonna kill you." " I appreciate your patience." " Not a problem." "Everything seems to be in order." "Terrific." "So, when do I see my paper?" "now." "Looks good." "I'm happy." "Money's there." " Dean give you the signal?" " Not yet." "My partners would like to make additional purchases, but I'm gonna need to better understand your operation." "So, I still need to see where you print the money." "Fine." "I can take you there now." "Let's go." "Damn it, he's going after the press." "Walsh will show you the press." "Oh, no." "Come out with your hands above your head. now." "Next time, answer your damn phone." "So, how'd you know?" "I'm the same man I was six months ago, brother." "The sooner you realize that, the better." "Let me ask you something -- Why the hell didn't we just bust kang on the money-laundering charge and then flip him?" "You know, you're right." "Now, why in the hell didn't i think of that?" " hi." " hi." "I can't." "No, I-I -- I didn't come over for that." "Okay, well, I didn't come over justfor that." "I just want to talk." "About?" "I don't know, you know?" "W- what do people talk about?" "You okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, I'm fine." "Scott is here." "He's sleeping." "Right." "I guess the break is over." "Night."
