"The bureau is making her kidnapping a top priority." "This was sent to us this morning." "Why did they grab gloria malnik?" "She's a saleswoman." "We think they were going for her boss, thomas sheppherd." "He's c.E.O. At triad geno." "Say hello, gloria." " Hi." "Please, somebody help!" " Shut up!" "We've had her 11 days, and you're still playing around with that ransom." "So maybe we start playing around." "No!" "Nooo!" "Aah!" "No!" "Get us that 2 million." "We're still running the voice analysis." "It's the same guys." "Excuse me?" "Lieutenant, you've been asked to join us" "Because of your knowledge of l.A.'S criminal underground." "This is the third abduction in the past five months," "And you're 0 for 3." "We are pursuing multiple leads." "Well, i'm pursuing one, too." "Mind if ask who that is?" "Yeah, i do." "Carter..." "I'm just not as effective when i have to share with the fbi." "Fine." "Share with me." "You got something?" "Ty is close to getting in." " With who?" " Boulevard crew." "The street gang?" "They're into kidnapping?" "I guess they decided to expand." "Can't believe yo getting out today." "That's what happens when the only witness in your case is a damn junkie." "What you gonna do?" "Look for some work." "What kind?" "I don't know." "Anything that pays." " You got something?" " Hey, earl." "What's up, man?" " Get lost." " Okay." "Come on, e." "He stays right here." "What's the problem, man?" "This don't concern you." "This is between me and this dead man." " What's the problem?" " Don't make it concern you, son." "Get!" "I said get lost." "Okay. capture:frm@·ëîµ sync:frs@×··çóê¿´²êºç" "Dark.Blue.S01e05 w w w ." "B i e r d o p j e ." "C o m" "Think that worked?" "Well, it sure as hell felt real." "How much you pay those, uh, skinheads?" " A grand." " And the guards?" "Couldn't tell them." "They talk." "Thanks." "Earl owes you now." "Work him." "Not as easy as it looks, carter." "He's o.G." "Boulevard crew." "And two months ago, he was shooting his mouth off to a confidential informant" "About all the money he was gonna make kidnapping rich white people." "But he shot a dude over a parking spot and ended up here." "Don't make your week in jail a waste of my time, ty." "You act like i'm enjoying this." "I'm acting like i need a name." "Man, you do know i have a phone, right?" "?" "Got it." "?" "They were driving sheppherd's limo." "I know, but if it was an inside job," "They would have gotten the right guy." "That them?" "Like i said, carter." "They don't know anything." " You sure?" " Why are you pushing this?" "Come on." "Hey." "Good." "I'm on my way." "Ty just got sprung." "See you at home." "It sounds delicious." "Just put it in the freezer, babe." "Okay, bye." "He cooks for you, too, huh?" "Oh!" "There he is." "Don't worry." "I'm not gonna ask about the shower." "Ha!" "Not even close." " Well, welcome back." " Thank you." "Here's the info on the guy you wanted." "Bobby kilgore. 28." "Pretty much raised by the boulevard crew." "Assault, assault, petty larceny." "Wait, our man in prison said this guy bobby's into kidnapping now?" "Said he's in the "people business."" "How'd three strikes miss this guy?" "Pay him a visit, ty." "You want backup?" "Uh, i don't think you'll blend in that neighborhood." " You would?" " I'm on it." "Just got to stop by the house first." "Now." "I just got out of jail, carter." "I was hoping i can go see the wife for an hour, maybe." "And i'm kind of hoping that we find a kidnapped lady before they kill her." "He doesn't need backup." "Go." "I'll go." "Yo, little mama!" "Bobby here?" "He ain't around." "You sure?" "I will let this dog go, mister." "He's undefeated." "Tell him ty parker came by." "Hey, ty." "Earl called me about you." "Go around the side." " Then the hacks jped in." " Yeah." "It got kind of ugly, but pretty much took care of business, you know." "Earl appreciates that." "He don't appreciate much." "He cool, fellas." "He cool." "That's good to know about your man earl." "He's a good dude." "Tell me something, ty." "You ever bang?" "Nah, man." "No banging for me." "I was a military brat." "I lived on bases, mostly." "Banging ain't no way to make a living," "Not as an adult, anyway." "So, you got something better for me?" " Maybe." " Bobby." "Yo, dante." "This is ty parker." "He " " He was in the bucket with earl." "Why don't you go out and get us some alfredo's?" " Earl said that, uh..." " Yeah, i don't care what earl said." "Earl was dumb enough to pop somebody in broad daylight and get busted." "We got to be smart." "Ain't that right?" " Right." "Right." " Then go." "So why are you here, ty parker?" "Looking for a job." "I heard that bobby could hook it up." "Well, you heard wrong." "I make the personnel decisions." "Bobby -- He's my right hand." "He's tough." "He's loyal, obedient," "Like that pit you might have seen outside." "Okay." "Cool." "So, what about you, then?" "What about me?" "Well, i got skills, you know," "For someone in a business that pays." "Well, my business is none of your busiss." "I don't want you to get the wrong idea," "But earl " " He just told me what you y'all " " What y'all do." "Excuse me?" "He said you was the "people business."" "People business?" "Yeah." "Kidnapping." "I don't know what you heard, but you heard wrong." "You got me?" "And i don't want to see your pretty little face around here again." "And if anybody ever comes around here asking questions," "I'll know who sent them..." "Ty parker." "It's cool, man." "Yeah." "I'm out." "They're definitely involved." "That's probably why i almost got shot." "No!" "Do more!" "Get the money!" "I'm sorry." "I've done everything i can, ted." "No..." "What's going on?" "The husband." "Just found out the c.E.O. Won't pay his wife's ransom." "Their kidnapping insurance only extends to senior executives." "Can't the company just pay?" "It's worth $2 billion." "The board said it would be a breach of their "fiduciary duty to shareholders."" "So now what?" "So, now the fbi starts conducting raids," "Hope they get lucky." "Raids are a bad idea." "All the victims have been held in the same place." " But you don't know where that place is." " We have a few solid leads." "You start conducting raids, and the kidnappers know you're not paying." "We're not paying." "There's no money." "At this point, her chances for survival are going down hourly." "What if i have a guy on the inside?" " Do you?" " Yes." "Just tell the kidnappers that the board is still considering the ransom," "Talking to the insurance company, whatever." "Give me 48 hours." "I hope your man is good." "Carter, i'm not even close to being in with these guys." "I know." "I know." " You lied to the fbi..." " They were gonna get her killed." " ..." "And involved me." " In what?" "As far as you know, he's in." "Lying to the feds -- It's a bad career move." "Wouldn't be my first, right?" "Say hello, gloria." " Hi." "Please, sobody help!" " Shut up!" "We've had her 11 days,and you're still playing around with that ransom..." "So maybe we start playing around." "No!" "Nooo!" "Aah!" "No!" "Get us that 2 million." "Dean." "6:30." "I'll be in the office in a half-Hour." "Call ty and jaimie." "Meet me there." "Here, according to this, you've worked at stinson security for three years." "Protecting rich people." "Ty is gonna tell dante and bobby about you, how you were an old army buddy," "How you have access to some of the wealthiest people in the city." "People that kidnappers would love to grab." "And then they're gonna fall head over heals for me, partner," "And tell us where gloria is." "And it has to happen today." "I just got out of prison." "I'm not backstopped." "I don't know where i'm staying." "I don't know what i'm driving." "You're staying at the three palms motel on la brea." "The car you just bought for $600 is waiting for you down in the garage." "Come on." "Let's go." "When does he do all this?" "Uh..." "looks like 2:38 this morning." "He's sleeping here." "Saw some stubble in the sink." "He shaves?" "Carter." "You read dante's jacket?" "One of the founders of the boulevard crew, career thug." "You ever try to get in with these cats?" "Yeah." "Can get real tricky, man." "They keep her chained to the floor, ty." "I saw the ransom video." "This is really pissing you off, huh?" "Not a big fan of kidnappers." "I meant the fbi." "Look, if this is about you finding this lady first" " To shove it in the feds face " " That what you think?" "Well, i know what happened in lawndale." "And i'd want to stick it to them, too," "If they let one of my men die," "But i wouldn't risk another one in the process." "There's no registration or insurance, so don't get pulled over." "Hey, what up, bobby?" "Gonna get some food." "Alfredo's?" "I got the lift." "I'll give you a ride." "I'm gonna walk it out." "All right, i'll walk it out with you." "So this dude dean " "We was second infantry unit together in afghanistan." "He's a pretty hard-Core cat." "Anyway... he gets paid a lot of money now to protect rich people." "So?" "He's ready to deliver these..." "Rich individuals on a silver platter to us." "Why you telling me this?" "I just got out of the joint, bobby." "I figure i ain't really got the infrastructure" "To get it popping like you and dante do." "For what?" "For kidnapping, man." "I don't know." "Look, man, i ain't trying to get you to fall out of your main," "But what i'm offering " " I think your boy dante would like a lot." "What's happening with this?" "You riding dirty?" "Eh." "You know, i never really had a real car." "Me either." "But i figure when i come up," "It's a black lexus for me." " Nice." "Nice." "Mm-Hum." " You know?" "What about you?" "Old school, baby." "Caddy." "Oh, that's hot." "You gonna get your old-School caddy." "Convertible." "You talk to dante." "Tell him, what i got -- He'll like." "I can prove it to him, if he wants." "Ty sold it." "Here's the address." "You're a rich lady in the backseat." "Look the part." "Maybe i should get out of the car, flash a little bling?" "No, it's more real if she stays in the car." "We're selling access." "Stay in the car." "I'll be watching." "He listens to you, dean." "Yeah." "So?" "So when you say things like i won't "blend"" "Or "stay in the car," he listens." "Yeah, it's because you won't blend, and you should stay in the car." "Pulling the fresno in time for the game." "Hey." "What's he doing?" "Hey, buddy." "What are you looking at?" "Get the hell out of here." "I don't think so." "I'm a cop." "Brother, you don't look like a cop." "Whers your badge?" "Let me get that for you." " Here it is." "Get down!" " Whoa!" "Now!" "Don't move." " Look, we don't want any trouble." " Shut up." "At rig's got run-Flat tires," "Bulletproof glass." "Of course, it don't matter if somebody unlocks the door." "Who's that in the back?" "Um, i don't know." "Today?" "Some rich bitch on her way to lax." "Yeah?" "She famous?" "Nah." "Her name's burian?" "Burion?" "Something like that." "Gold digger." "Married some old real-Estate developer." "Dean takes her to the airport sometimes" "So she can fly around and spend his money." "Says the cat's worth, like, 500 mil." " Look, we don't want any trouble." " Shut up." "Shut up." " Maybe we take her now." " What?" "Yeah, old man, young piece of ass." "He'll pay." "Let's do this, bobby." "Yo, yo, yo, wait, man!" " Wait!" " What?" "That's stupid." "Your boy's driving the limo." "She's right there." "Let's just grab her." "That's why not." "Security camera." "Come on, dante, you got to think, man." "Be smart." "We gonna do this -- We need to plan right." "We got all week to make this thing here happen, my man, come on." " Feel me?" " A'ight." "A'ight." "All right, cool." "We'll talk about it." "All right, get lost." "Come on, get up." "Get up." "You really a cop?" "You know, that was like amateur hour today," "Almost getting made on the security camera." "Yeah, i didn't see the camera eltr, d." "Of course you wouldn't." "Come on, man." "Just once, i wish you would step out in front on something, just once." "Okay, look here." "If the three of us are gonna do business together," "We all got to be more careful." "We got to be smarter." "We got to take our time, come up with a good plan, dante." "Look, we know what we're doing, all right?" "Trust me." "We copied the whole thing from the cartels" "From the ransom, the grab, the safe house, everything." "We copied it just like they do it." "I don't exactly see the frts of your labor around here." "We got to be careful." "You can't be too flashy in this hood." " Dante's building a big old house in " " Bobby!" "He ain't got to know everything!" "Actually, i do, dante." "Kidnapping is serious business, man." "If i'm going to get involved with my man dean, i kind of need to know how you do things," "You know, how you make your moves, where you keep your people." "No." "No." "Can't do that." "Why not?" "'Cause we got merchandise there right now." "That's why not." "Inventory?" "Who?" "Let me know 'cause maybe i could help." "I wish you could." "We're supposed to be stacking paper right now." "But somebody done grabbed the wrong person." " Not my fault, d." " Then whose fault is it, huh, mine?" "Tried to scare her company into paying." "They just called." "It's not happening." "So you gonna let her go?" "'Cause right now, she's just costing room and board." "Not for long." "Look, i'm a businessman." "I got to maximize my assets, send a message." "I'm gonna squeeze that little lemon into lemonade." "Why?" " ?" " L?" "?" " Like?" " You need to back off." "'Cause you ?" " I never?" " I did." "It's ?" "The ?" "Is nothing?" " Son of?" "You think?" " No." "You think?" "Here's a deal." "Her name?" "She?" "Mother" "And you?" " How much money do you make?" " Excuse me?" "What, $5 million a year?" "I just?" "Her." "Write the ransom check -- 2 million bucks, and this thing is over." " Carter..." " What do you say?" " Yeah, i thought so." " Carter!" "In my office." "What the hell was that?" "That idiot is playing wall street with gloria's life." "He is not the criminal here!" "Says who?" "Did you hold two civilians at gunpoint today?" "They almost blew my cover." "They called in your plate." "So arrest me." "If i have to." "What was the deal when we first started this?" "I catch people for you." "And?" "And you're okay with it because i do things no one else will." "And you don't lose your mind in the process." "Give me a break." "Where are you going?" "To get someone kidnapped." "Jaimie and i will pose as mr." "And mrs." "Robert la porte." "He's a banker who lives half the year in mexo city," "Has kidnapping and ransom insurance." "The perfect target." "And what about the real la portes?" "At home in santa barbara." "Okay, when the kidnappers google them, they look like this." "All right, sell this well enough, and they'll have no reason to google it." "Make this good as you can." "20 minutes." "Ready?" "Let's do it." "Come on." "All right." "Say "cheese."" "Carter, you're a rich man." "Smile." "Nice, nice, nice." "So, we're hoping the kidnappers take jaimie to the same spot as gloria?" "The previous victims all described the same place." "So is jaimie wearing a transponder?" "No, too risky." "They might find it." "Good." "Then how are we supposed to track her?" "You get a bird?" "They won't lead us anywhere where there's a helicopter up." " You're gonna have to track her." " Me?" "Yes, you, ty." "You're gonna have to get in the car and take a ride with them." " This is getting ridiculous." " Why is everything a fight with you, ty?" "Why?" "I hate it when mommy and daddy fight." "They'll go back to normal once we rescue the girl." "Carter know that woman or something?" "Nah, it's not her." "I don't know." "It's like, three years ago," "This russian gang kidnapped this young mother." "We could have gone in for her," "But we got talked into waiting by her father." "Carter knew it was a bad move, and it was." "By the time we decided to go in, you konw." "They killed her." "You think he's trying to redeem himself?" "You got a better idea?" "Yeah." "Carter's a fixer." "A fixer?" "He needs projects." "He needs to save people." "Look at us." "Speak for yourself." "Yeah, man." "I mean, she's perfect." "The husband's company always has them in mexico." "Big "k" and "r" policy." "The thing is, if we don't hit them today," "Then they're gone for, like, six months." "So let's hit them." "Let me see the file." "Bam." "Hey, shorty." "You know what i'm saying?" "Rich guy." "Trophy wife." "Yeah." "This make could be nice." "What you mean?" "I'm just saying, it would be a waste to have this apple and not take a bite." "Ah, man, i don't know about that." "What are you worried about?" "It's not like she's gonna escape while we're having fun with her." "As long as she's still breathing, we get paid." "Carter, we got to pull the plug." "Why?" "These guys are bad news." "They're all bad news." "No, this is different." "Well, look, it's one thing for jaimie to go under as a criminal." "It's another to go under as a victim." "She knew what she signed up for." "This isn't the girl scouts." "Yeah, but they saw her piure." "They're talking rape." "They won't get the chance." "You'll be there." " So this is on me?" " I trust you." "You trust me?" "You don't need to trust me." "You're back here." "Jaimie needs to trust me." "Particularly because she doesn't have a transponder nor a decent cover." "I am trying to save someone's life." "We don't even know if the woman's still alive." "That's no reason to stop." "How about putting us all at risk?" "Is that reason enough?" "It's what we do." "No." "It's what we do!" "When's the grab?" "Two hours." "Tell dante that the insurance policy only covers robert la porte." "Wait." "You're kidnapping me." "You didn't say anything toim?" "No." "Then why is he replacing me?" "Why do you think this has anything to do with me?" "I swear to god, ever since i got back together with scott..." "Oh, please, don't flatter yourself, honey, okay?" "In case you haven't noticed, i am not flattered." " I am pissed." " Let's go." "Stay here, near a radio." "Come on." "Hey, his choice." "Not mine." " What's up, brother?" " Hey, buddy, how you doing?" "You got any jumper cables i can borrow?" "No, nothing." "?" "?" "Get under the car." "Get under!" "?" "Get under!" "Spell your name." " Spell your name." " ?" "I can't hear you!" "Louder!" "Yo, bobby!" "Let me in!" "Let me in!" "Drive, bobby!" "Let's go!" "Let me in!" "Yo, let me in!" "Unh!" "Get out." "Get out!" "You two lock him up." "?" "?" "?" "Sit dowm." "Please." " No." "No." " Sit." "You?" "?" "?" "?" "Hello?" "Hello." "Who are you?" "My name is robert -- Robert la porte." "Were you kidnapped?" "Yes." "Who are you?" "I'm gloria malnik." "Yo." "Hey, what's up, man?" "You know." "It's all good." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "That was messed up before." "Chill, man." "Dante just didn't want to clutter things up." "You getting your due." "Trust me." "Yeah, well, i guess i have to, right?" "." "So, uh, how's the merchandise?" " In good shape?" " Yup." "And it's not too hot, right?" "It's not too bad here." "Okay, well, will my car make it through?" "Will your car make it?" ""What are we watching on the local news?" "How's the weather?"" "Are you really trying to figure out where we are?" "Hey, look here, homey." "I'm trying to figure out whether i'm getting screwed, all right?" "Well, you gonna get paid." "Relax." "Is that why you called?" "No." "I called to tell you that dean went to talk to the wife," "And he's convinced her not to go to the cops." "So, you should probably talk to her." "And soon." "I think we can make this happen pretty fast." "All right." "Later." "I just hope they're eating right." "I'm sure they are." "I don't know." "Ted's not much of a cook." "He eats sausages," "You know, like the precooked ones." "He eats them cold." "I gave up on trying to get him to stop doing that." "And ethan, my oldest," "He made a traveling soccer team this year." "Gloria..." "Are you okay?" "Why did they kidnap me?" "We're not rich." "I just miss my family so much." "And i got into this argument with my husband." "It was bad." " The day i..." " Ah, don't." "Don't worry about it." "It's " " Marriage is..." "Marriage is hard." "Don't beat yourself up." "Are you married?" "Yes." "It's great, isn't it?" "Sure is." "Call your wife." "I want to call my husband!" "It's pointless, unless he came into $2 million." " Listen to me, please." "I promise " " Shut up, lady!" "Enough phone calls for you." "You're done." " Hello." " Hey." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah, i'm fine." "And if you want him to stay fine," "You're gonna listeup." "You got a pen?" "Yeah." "Write these numbers down." "M86-603-412-1702." "That's your new bank account at banco popular." "You'll deposit $2 million into that account." "One of my people will withdraw that money." "When that money is safely in our hands, we will release your husband." " Any questions?" " Let me talk to him." "Okay, but you say anything stupid," "This becomes another senseless killing." " Hey, sweetheart." " Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Do you know where you are?" "Are they feeding you?" "Call marcus harris." "His number is in the green book." "And ask him to get into the kidnapping and ransom insurance," "But don't call the police." "Okay." "And tell marcus..." "Not to pay a red cent" "Until i say so." "Why the hell did you do that?" "'Cause i'm trying to save my life." "Homes, you doing a d job." "I'm not paying you a dime until you release gloria." "She told me she can't pay the ransom, so there's no reason to keep her" "Unless you're gonna kill her." "That makes you a murderer, not a businessman," "And i'm not paying someone $2 million to kill me." "I promise you that." "You want $2 million from her" "And $2 million from me, right?" "Let her go." "Let her go, and i'll get you the money." "Why?" "I have insurance." "It won't cost me a penny." "Let her go, and you'll get your money." "I promise." "When?" "My insurance company can have it in a day." "And if they don't?" "Then kill me..." "And you get nothin'." "She's a little dehydrated, but she's basically okay." "So we can talk to her?" "What about?" "Mr. La porte..." "It's carter, isn't it?" "Okay, go ahead." "Gloria." "We're friends with the man who helped you escape." "Mr. La porte?" "Are you with his company?" "He said his company would pay $4 million?" "Look, gloria, when they released you," "Did you see anything?" "I was in the trunk of a car." "No sounds, no smells?" " Uh..." " Glo!" "Ted!" "Ted!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "He threw the hail mary, didn't he?" "Got gloria released." "It's a gutsy move." "But the clock's ticking." "What do we do?" "How the hell are we gonna find $4 million?" "I tried to get in that damn car." "Look, i know, man." "It's not your fault." "Dante kept saying, "go!" "Go!"" "And stupid bobby does whatever he says." "It's not your fault." "Bobby just drove off, huh?" "Yeah, he's terrified of dante." "How well do you guys know captain maynard?" "I am pleased to report" "That in a joint lapd and fbi eort," "We were able to successfully negotiate" "The release of kidnapping victim mrs." "Gloria malnik." "According to her doctors," "Mrs. Malnik suffered no serious injury" "And is expected to make a full recovery." "Mr. Thomas sheppherd of the triad geno corporation" "Would like to say a few words." "Frankly, it's just a blessing" "That triad geno had the ability to pay the ransom." "We were happy to come up with the $2 million if it meant..." "Okay." "Let's see if it worked." "Thanks for backing me up on this." "I thought it was a good idea." "That's the only reason." "Right." "Hey." "Hey, yo, bobby-O, my main man," "I just wanted to call and give you props" "Because you came up with 2 mil" "For the other piece of merchandise." "What are you talking about?" "Turn on the tv." "That lady's company paid $2 million for her." "They didn't pay jack." "We let her go, made another deal." "Well, somebody came up with another deal, brother." "According to the news and the c.E.O.," "They paid." " Where is dante, bobby?" " I don't know." "Okay, well, i want to know, so call him." "He's touchy about the phones nowadays." "I shouldn't even be talking to you." "Actually, bobby, you should be talking to me." "First, i get kicked out of the van " "Not cool " "And now i'm hearing that dante's getting paid," "And you know nothing about it." "Not cool again." "I'm getting nervous here, man." " Where are you?" " Home." "So, who's with the merchandise?" "I don't know." "Come on, bobby." "Damn it!" "You got to know, man." "You're smarter than that." "Dante's getting $2 million for this woman." "That's a lot of money, bobby," "And you don't know anything about it." "What if this happens again?" "We need to protect ourselves, okay?" "That guy is our money." "So move him, at least," "So we can keep him under our control until we sort all of this out." " You think?" " No, i know." "I'm coming to pick you up right now." "Yo, b, you sure dante ain't here?" "I ain't see his caddy." "Oh, so it's dante who's got the big caddy, huh?" "Some of us get to be real flashy." "Did you see that he wore a mask through the whole grab?" "Yeah, i saw that." "I didn't wear a mask through the grab." "That's 'cause you stupid." "Drop the gun." "Drop the gun." "What the hell is this about?" "What the hell you all doing here?" "You tell me, d." "Why is he here?" " I'm protecting myself." " From what?" "!" " From you ripping me off." " By ripping me off?" "I'm protecting myself." "So that's the plan, huh?" "You get in with bobby, hustle me?" "Police!" "Get up!" "I'm gonna be lving now." "No, no, no, no." "You're not going anywhere with him, my friend." "Oh, yeah?" "Unless you want his brains all over these walls," "You're gonna let me go." "Cover me." "Cover me." "Cover." "Dean, take the shot." "I don't have the shot with this thing, t." "Come on, man, take the shot!" "Carter, you okay?" " Yeah." " Carter..." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Hey, nice move." "You surprised?" "Yeah, you got her back this time." "So, carter..." "What do you say you call the fbi, let them know how the pros do it?" " Not really." " You serious?" "You can call." "Shouldn't you be home with the wife?" "Yeah." "Thanks for the press conference." "So, i figured it out." "Figured what out?" "Why you've been such an unholy prick." "Yeah." "Why should today be any different?" "It's your birthday." "Yeah."
