All language subtitles for The SHIELD - S03 E12 - Riceburner (720p - BluRay)

NARRATOR: Previously
on The Shield.

Vic. Hi.

I've wanted to see
you, but Hunter's...

You don't have to explain.

Sooner or later,
this guy's gonna need a clean break.

I can't do that right now.
But I don't wanna wait either.

You name the place.

The last couple of weeks,
Matthew's been a serious problem.

We'll continue to work with
Matthew as best we can.

If he injures another child, we'll
have to ask you to find another school.

Bring back Owen.

He took a job in Phoenix. There's a
waiting list at the service for therapists.

Mr. Freeman.

James. Please.
I did some thinking about your case.

I really can't talk
to you right now,

so if you'd like to skip to the
part where you ask me out...

Hurry.

There's something
wrong with her.

She's almost 2.
She barely speaks.

She's autistic.

We don't know.

We are going to take her to the doctor
and he's gonna tell us that it's autism.

The Armenian mob's pissed off
about a shitload of stolen money

and now they're whacking all
the players trying to find it-.

They killed these Armenians
looking for our money train cash.

We can't spend a nickel until
we know which bills are marked.

VIC: We have to erase the trail.

Neil O'Brien, who's he?
He's on Treasury's radar?

As soon as he puts some of our
marked money into the system.

You two drop the money where you're
sure our Irish patsy'll find it.

Congratulations. You just got yourself
a spot on Treasury's Most Wanted.

RECORDED VOICE: You've reached
the police main switchboard.

Listen carefully to
the following options.

To be connected to a supervisor

because one of our
jackbooted thugs

mistreated you and you want
his goddamn badge, press 1.

Cop I know sent it to me.
If you've committed a crime

you think you can bullshit
your way out of, press 2.

RONNIE: It's great, isn't it?
VIC: Shut up and let us listen.

If you're threatening your
girlfriend with a knife

but don't want our officers
interfering with true love,

press 3. Priceless.

To report an incident
of racial profiling,

put down your crack
pipe and press 4.

If you can't locate

one of your seven unsupervised,
fatherless children,

I need you. Press 5.

ACEVEDA: All right,
let's all get back to work.

What's the status on
the custom car sting?

AGC? Ronnie's running
down the warrants.

I can see that.
As soon as the judge signs off,

we'll start placing
cameras and bugs

in all the high-end rides.

Prospects?
Money laundering, drug running.

There's even a studio guy

who's selling bootleg
DVDs of his own movies.

How's your surveillance
equipment?

On loan from the feds.
State-of-the-art.

Ronnie's like a kid with
his first titty magazine.

Good.

What's going on?

Rodriguez has been with
the chief's task force

to reduce violent
crime in Koreatown.

I need your team to serve
a high-risk warrant.

That's Charlie Kim.
He's an enforcer for the K-Town Killers.

The prick who firebombed
a motel last year

when the manager started
hassling their hookers.

Three people burned to death.

Task force also thinks
Kim was the triggerman

in four other homicides.

They caught a break when
the owner of the motel

agreed to testify.

I wanna show the Korean
community that helping us works.

Just because they
call you "The Sheriff"

doesn't mean you're the law.

Convicting him with a Korean
eyewitness is a start.

But I need this asshole
brought in alive.

I'll do my best.
Where is he now?

He was spotted in an apartment
complex on Alexandria.

Can we trust the tip? Yes,

but he doesn't stay
in one spot for long,

so we gotta move now.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

VIC: You're late.
I was at the hospital.

Tavon keeps getting better.

RONNIE: Oh, that's great.

He's got, uh,
some body movement,

opens his eyes.

That's good news. LEM: Yeah.

Yeah.

Wait, is that...?
Is that a wedding ring?

Yeah.

Yeah, viva Las Vegas. We, uh...

We just did it Sunday, you know.

We just figured, "Why wait?"

[RONNIE CHUCKLING]

Oh, man.

Congratulations.

Any more surprises?

Okay, then let's hand out
one or two of our own.

[DOOR OPENS]

[CHATTERING]

Two original Thaeron chairs
were stolen from a moving truck

yesterday near Echo Park.

Sara Dagit bought the
chairs at an estate auction.

Her husband Nick sits on
the police commission.

Ten thousand
dollars for a chair?

It's a felony.
And my detectives are busy.

Can you track them down?

Dagit's got friends on
the budget committee.

Last thing we need are
more cuts around here.

A lot of these robberies
are inside jobs.

Just find them.

VIC: He's in apartment six.

Kim rides a riceburner,
so watch the garage.

Somebody get these kids on the
other side of the street now.

Go, go, go.
Across the street, honey.

RONNIE: Right now. Hurry. Run.
LEM: Let's go. Come on.

Right inside.

[PANTING]

Go!

Get down on the
ground right now!

You, down, now.

[SPEAKING IN KOREAN] Pipe down.

[GUN CLICKS] It's not him.

Where's Charlie Kim?
[MAN SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

Knock on some doors in case
he's in another apartment.

Let's go.

Quick! Move!

[ENGINE HUMMING]

Hey. Hey! He's running.
Let's go.

RONNIE: How'd he get behind us?
Son of a bitch.

SHANE: Call it in.
Get a chopper on this guy.

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

WOMAN: Ungh! Oh, my God.

VIC: Come on, come on.

[WOMAN WAILING]

She's breathing,
she's still breathing.

VIC: Let's get an ambulance!

You killed him.

He was the only one shooting...

Shane.

And get these people back.

[SHOUTING IN KOREAN]

[TIT]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

Jesus Christ, Vic.
What the hell happened here?

Kim was in an apartment next door.
He had a sight line

into the unit that we stormed.
Who screwed up?

I just saw two kids get shot.
Who didn't screw up?

Who was in Kim's apartment?
Tourists.

Korean couple on
their honeymoon.

Do you at least know who
owned the building? John Cho.

We're running him
down right now.

Are you talking to these people?

Yes,
but they're not talking back.

If you're gonna get murdered,

might as well be
by your own kind.

Hey, Vic.

VIC: Hey.
We're looking for Charlie Kim.

He just shot two kids in
front of your building.

[SPEAKS IN KOREAN]
English, asshole,

we know you're American.

Why was he in one of your
apartments rent-free?

These kids were 7 and 8.
One of them is dead.

That matter to you?

Well, it matters to me, asshole.

Let's go.
Get your ass in the car.

CLAUDETTEI What?

Um, you're smiling.

I try it occasionally.

You had another date with James.

[PHONE RINGING]

Detective Wagenbach.

That's what,
like three times this week?

You look tired.
That cat still keeping you up all night?

No.

Uh, y-yeah, give it to me.
Thanks.

Armed robbery, 87-cent store.

Is there a profit in that?

Eighty-seven cents here,

pretty soon you're
talking about real money.

So is this getting serious?

Oh, just stick to the case.

Oh, it's serious.
You can't even hide it.

She wasn't your
typical stick-up gal.

How's that?
Well, I been robbed before.

She was real nervous.

Like it was her first time.

You know how a woman
is her first time.

Not as well as I'd like to.

I never thought she'd
really shoot me,

but who wants to
take the chance?

She working alone?
It was just her.

Just walked right up and
put a snubnose in my face.

You get a good look at her?

She was white with a
baseball cap and sunglasses,

so I didn't see
much of her face.

You sure she was a woman?

[SCOFFS]

Surveillance cameras
caught the action.

Hey, can I get a copy of that?

I got robbed at gunpoint.
I'd like to show my wife.

I heard Moses got promoted
over at Justice again.

Yeah. Not bad for a few guys

who couldn't even get into a
frat, huh?

[CHUCKLES]

So this is about the shootings.

We're looking for Charlie Kim.

People are blaming the
department for what happened.

Kim fired those shots.
I hope you catch him.

If he wasn't being
protected, we would have.

What am I supposed to do?

People in the complex
aren't cooperating.

Neither is the owner.
I need to get through.

There's a dead boy and a
girl in critical condition.

RODRIGUEZ: Come on,
you know Korean customs.

You don't trust the police,
anybody, but your own kind.

Including the gangs?
They serve a purpose.

They create order,
and they keep the blacks and Latinos out.

Can your department do that?
That's the old way of thinking.

It's gotta change.

My advice to you is
to let things settle.

Pick Kim up later without
the threat of more violence.

If the community blames us
and we don't handle this now,

things will only get worse.

I need Kim.

I need your help.

I need a contact. Okay, look.

I got life shit going on, okay?

I can't be at your
disposal 24/7.

I drop this confession of
your third strike to the DA

and your schedule
clears up real fast.

You do any business
with the Koreans?

If the yellows can
bring the green...

I need a name.

Someone who's into
something I can lean on.

But they have to be tapped
into that community.

There is this slant
I do business with.

Uh, the chick is into ID theft.

Where?
She got a shop up off Western.

Look, do you feel like taking
your hand out of my ass now?

No, and if this
tip is a wash out,

I'm gonna make a fist.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hey. Listen, uh,
Aceveda's got us tracking down

these stolen chairs.

We're running out of options.

You guys know anybody plugged
into the street trade?

VIC: Meet Taylor.

How y'all doing?

Married, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah,
I can hardly believe it myself.

I'm sorry I missed that.

Look, you sure you
know what you're doing?

I know what I want.

Just...

Just don't make the
same mistakes I made.

You'll be fine.

People buy this shit? [CHUCKLES]

I'll believe that when I see it.
Can I help you?

Tracy Pok? Yeah.

We understand you applied for a
confidential informant position.

No. Yeah.

We're here for the interview.

You the cops?
Let's talk in your office.

Can't go back there.

[vlc CHUCKLES]

The bank of Tracy.

Nice set up.

Pretty good interest
rate on these?

What is this?

Let me run down
the rules for you.

There's no set number of
tips you have to provide us,

but trust me,

I know if someone's sliding.

You start sliding,
you get shut down,

become the feds' problem.

I judge my Cls by the quality
of their work, not the quantity.

Yeah, but quantity's good too.

If things don't get violent,
I'll let this operation slide.

I'll even provide tips
of police activity

that might be bad for business.

SHANE: Yeah,
but you gotta earn your way in first.

What?

Charlie Kim.

I only know about
15 Charlie Kims.

You know the one
I'm looking for.

I'm the wrong girl. Really?

You the Tracy Pok
that's about to spend

the next eight years
in federal prison

for credit-card fraud?

Heh-heh.
Yeah, you're the right girl.

So you got a knack for
finding things, huh?

Yes, I do. And we can start
by finding your smile.

JULIEN: Yeah,
how about we find these?

Damn,
these some ugly ass chairs.

Yeah,
they were stolen from a truck

in front of Burrito
Castle on Sixth.

They're worth about
$10,000 apiece.

Heh! Not to no black
people, they're not.

I got to agree.

Looks like the 87-cent store

paid that much for
their video camera.

Crosby Nell called.
The Treasury guy?

They picked up a suspect in the
Armenian money train robbery

depositing marked bills.

Looks like I semi-solved
that double murder.

Yeah, let's focus on our
double robbery first.

Double?
Woman fitting our description

did a grab and dash at a nearby
convenience store this morning.

Witness saw the suspect
get into a blue Civic,

got a partial plate.

DMV's running it now.

So she wasn't a virgin,
criminally speaking.

We're already on a list
for an OT for Matthew,

now with Megan diagnosed,
we're in trouble.

Sorry. Thanks for waiting.

MAN: Well, we already
assigned Matthew a therapist,

and... And he left because...

He had to take a
job out of town.

I wish I had more
therapists available.

But you do have some, right?

A few. We try to steer
them to situations

with a high
likelihood of success.

Megan's autism isn't
as bad as Matthew's.

Her doc... Her doctor said that,
uh, treatment at an early age

can be quite effective.

You're separated?

I spend as much time with
the children as I can.

You work full-time.
She's doing 30 hours a week.

Private therapists
are expensive.

Our workshops are designed
for after-session exercises

with the children.

If you're both working,

who's there to do them
with the children?

We have several babysitters.
We can't rely on them...

We'll take care
of things at home.

Figure out how to pay for it.
Just find us someone, okay?

Later. Mm-hm.

Okay.

That James?

Is that the partial plates?

Y-you know,
if this is getting serious,

I can provide valuable
insight into the male psyche.

Pony up the DMV reports.

All right.
You'll let me know if I can help?

Three registered
possibilities in the area.

Donna Talic, Carl Grossey,

Henry and Angie Deets.

Angie fits.
I ran them through NCIC.

She's clean,

but Hank is a whole
different animal.

Looks like he's
turning wife-beating

into an Olympic sport.

Multiple assault and
battery, spousalabuse.

Couple misdemeanor
thefts in his teens.

Interesting.

I also ran a...
Afirearms background check.

He owns a .38 snubnose.

Very interesting.

Got any insights on his psyche?

I'd say he's just an asshole.

[MEN SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

Got your boy helping you, huh?

ACEVEDA: He wants what we want.

Yeah, well, all I want is
another shot at this Kim prick.

NELL: Meet Neil O'Brien.

Pleasure.

Right in here.

Guess who Dutch boy and his
Treasury bitch just brought in.

O'Brien?

No way. Way.

Yes.

Those marked bills
that we dropped on him

must've hit the banks.

Which means that we're...
We're free and clear.

Feels good.

[LAUGHING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

Neil O'Brien, career criminal.

Not associated
with the Irish mob

or any other
organization we know of.

Last week,
O'Brien deposited $17,000 cash

into three I.A.
bank accounts all on the same day.

ACEVEDA: Some of that cash
was on our marked bill list?

All of it was on the list.

O'Brien's family
is also from lndio,

where the money
first got flagged.

Tie him to the murders

and find out who his
accomplices were.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Guy steals from the
mob, kills two of 'em,

just to get away with a
bunch of marked money?

I thought the Irish were
supposed to be lucky.

Mr. Cho is afraid of Kim.

He's afraid of what he
might do to his tenants.

So he pays him every month

and then lets Kim move around
to his different buildings.

How much contact did
he have with Kim?

Minimal.

These are the
addresses of apartments

that Kim has access to.

He might be at one of them.

Stay sharp.

This is weird.

All the curtains are closed.

Set-u p?

Watch our backs.

[WHISPERS] This is it.

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

Go!

[WOMAN SPEAKING IN KOREAN ON TV]

Clear. Clear.

Clear.

Shit. IFS COld-.

Kim's probably on an underground
rickshaw to Seoul by now.

All right, knock on some doors,
not that it'll do any good.

Yeah, this is Detective Mackey.
Get me Aceveda.

Vic! Vic, get over here.

Our car, man. Our car. Shit!

[vlc GROANS]

You better flag
down that rickshaw.

Somebody wants us out of here.

DANNY: Come on, man,
Julien and I were already here.

The owner said he
never saw the chairs.

Well,
membership has its privileges.

Hey, Leroy!
What's up, what's up?

Hey, no, no, no, they cool, man.

They just my ride.
Hey, listen, did, uh...?

Did anybody come in here,
trying to flip these?

Skinny-ass popped in this
morning, around 11.

So you lied to us?

Right pawnshop,
just came with the wrong brother.

Clown wanted $200 for 'em.
I sent him packing.

Look, you have any idea where
he might try to sell 'em next?

Somebody looking for firewood.

Two hundred dollars.

Those are some ugly-ass
chairs, ain't they? Ha-ha!

Thanks for the lift.

ACEVEDA: You all right? Yeah.

Car's a little
overheated, though.

So, what do we have?

If this was any other
gang, I'd have him already.

So we just sit and
wait for a break?

No.

Can you think of
anything we're missing?

Sorry. VIC: Don't worry,

I'm not letting Kim win this.

You made some rather large
cash deposits recently,

didn't you, Neil?

If you know, why are you asking?

Seventeen thousand to
three different banks.

Where'd you get the money?
I pinched my pennies.

That's a pretty big piggy bank.
It's huge.

You're gonna have to
do better than that.

O'BRIEN: A friend owed it to me.

Paid it back in a lump sum.

Good friend. What's his name?

We'll need it to
verify your story.

All right, I won it in Vegas.
I got hot, what can I say?

NELL: Which casino?

Few different ones.

You have to report
winnings to the IRS.

I never won that
much at one place.

They all have cameras.

Tell us which casinos,
we'll check it out.

I forgot.

You remember a pyramid?
A pirate ship, maybe?

We've got time. Think about it.

Ronnie, we clear in here?

Yeah, I swept it.

So, what's up?

Uh, Megan was
diagnosed with autism.

It's not as severe as Matthew's,
but the quicker she gets care,

the better off she'll be.

Okay.

To get a therapist
for her and Matthew,

Corrine's gonna
need to stay home.

I have to pick up
the financial slack.

I figure since the
feds are onto O'Brien

and off of Mara and Stella,

I could dip into the money train cash.
Not a lot.

Just enough to supplement
the weekly payments.

Get them the help
that they need.

Well, what about the plan?
That's why I'm asking.

You guys discuss it.

Whatever you decide,

I'll respect it.

All right. All right?

Well, Vic needs us.

Well, I say no.

Oh, Jesus, Lem.
Come on, these are his kids.

How good's it gonna be for
his kids if Vic's in jail?

Feds are with
O'Brien and off us.

We don't know that for sure.

He had the rest of the marked money.
We're in the clear.

Every time we spend
a dime of that money,

some new shit storm
smacks us in the face.

Hey,
I am not going down on this.

Vic knows the score.

He'll... He'll...
He'll play it smart.

Look, if he can't use the money
for something like this, then...

Then why the hell did we
steal it in the first place?

We said we wouldn't
make the same mistakes

as the dumbasses we catch.

We're not. We're not.

Vic's not thinking about the big
picture, all right?

He needs us to do it for him.

Well, what about you?

I don't know.

That 17 thou you stole,

it was marked by the U.S.
Treasury.

So?

We were investigating
the Armenian mob.

That's who you stole it from.

They were marked so
they could be traced

and the footprints led
right back to you, Neil.

We know there were at least
three other men involved.

You give us their names,
you get the best deal of the bunch.

You're serious.

I found the money.
On the street.

I did. Where?
On the yellow brick road?

Outside a bar off Pico.
I walked out to the parking lot.

It was in a bank bag on the
ground, so I took it.

I didn't steal it.
I swear to God.

DUTCH: I've seen your sheet,
I've heard about a half-dozen lies

come out of your mouth already.

You're in some serious shit.

He was here.

Wanted a hundred bucks
for these torture racks.

He's lowering his prices.

You have any idea where he went?

Try the S & M club.

Can you find my smile now?

I'm gonna talk to the
other storeowners around,

see if they know anything.

MAN: He did leave a number
just in case I change my mind.

I think I tossed it.

Uh, my man, my man, my man.

Is, um...? Ls...?
Is she hooked up with anybody?

I don't know.

Huh. You know, man,
I never ever hit a cop before.

You think she
takes charge in bed

or you figure I'll have
to break her down a bit?

She's my partner. Shut up.

You saying I'm not good enough?
That's exactly what I'm saying.

Huh. Okay.
Well, we'll see what she says.

Okay? Yeah. Fine.

Here it is.

It's one of these.

Thank you.

I thought you had today off.

Uh, yes,
I had to catch up on my paperwork.

Computer systems down
over at Wilshire?

The scenery's nicer over here.

You know,
we keep meeting this way,

one of these detectives

might think that we
actually like each other.

I'm speaking at a
dog-training seminar

next weekend in San Diego,

and Hunter has to stay here.

Do you feel like
going out of town?

We won't have to look
over our shoulders.

I might be able to
free up my schedule.

Don't leave without
saying goodbye.

Okay.

[PHONE RINGS]

Mackey. TRACY: It's Tracy.

There's a PC arcade
down on Vermont.

One of those places where
the geeks play all clay.

I know what it is.

Girl I know says Kim's
there playing online.

I really don't like doing this.

Don't worry, it gets easier.

Kim's at a PC arcade on Vermont.

Might be more children there.

We'll be careful.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER PA]

Get him.
OFFICER: Sir, don't move.

Hands up. Hands up right now.

Nobody move.

LEM: Get your hands up.

VIC: Don't see him.

RONNIE: Not here.
[VIDEO GAMES BEEPING]

Ronnie.

You see the guy who
was sitting here?

Was it Charlie Kim?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Left in a hurry,
didn't even log out.

How long ago?

Six minutes.
Oh, this is bullshit, man.

I'm getting sick of this game.

Yeah, me too.

You told Kim we were coming!
No, I didn't.

Nobody else knew we were on him.
I told you where he was.

It's not my fault if
you didn't find him.

Back room. Grab everything.
It's evidence.

I'm throwing someone's
ass in jail today.

No, please. Don't!
Shut your face!

I can't trust you.
I'm telling you the truth.

I saw a kid get killed today.

That means no more
second chances.

I did what you told me.

Look, I haven't had to pay
any protection money yet.

But the K-Town Killers
will get around to me.

You're a better deal than
I'll ever get with Kim's boys.

You got me.

SHANE: What are you doing?

She's right.

She's not the only one who knew.

Sit down, Hank. Slipped disk.

Hurts like a bitch
to stand back up.

Besides, I can't stay long.

Where's your gun?

At my house. Why?

You sure it's not
with your wife?

No, she knows not to touch it.
Why was she sticking it

in a store clerk's
face this morning?

[HANK CHUCKLES]

You put a gun in her
hand, she'd shake too much

to point it at anyone.

Where is she now, then?

Temping-

Where? I don't know,

that's why they call it temping.

Call me when you get
things straightened out.

Oh, we're not done here yet...
[YELLS]

My back. Oh!

Jesus Christ.

I want my lawyer.

NOW!

[INDISTINCT SPEECH]

Come here, school chum.

[CHOKING]

Vic.

He'll call you back.

ACEVEDA: Vic. Get in here.

Get...

You wanna make another call?

Have Kim come down
here and meet us?

[RODRIGUEZ CHOKING]

Come here.

Vic. Vic, what are you doing?

I found out why Kim's
always one step ahead of us.

Your friend here's
been tipping him off.

He just assaulted me.
You're a witness.

Kim murdered a child and
you're protecting him?

I can check your phone records.

I've discussed this
with community leaders.

If they warn him
there's nothing...

So they make the
call for you instead.

That's conspiracy.
We don't want cops like him

intruding into our lives!

Look, just give us Kim.

I won't do that.

[GRUNTING]

Then you'll get more
cops, not less.

Grab every uni you can.
Turn their shops upside down.

I want every inch of
Koreatown smothered.

Like white on rice.

Gear up.

Time to tear
Koreatown a new one.

What?

Oh, you voted.

It's not that we don't
wanna help you...

It's okay.

It's probably the smart thing.

Let's go.

We got a job to do.

Let's go.
[INDISTINCT SPEECH OVER RADIO]

All right,
we're looking for Charlie Kim.

He's a banger with
the K-Town Killers.

That makes today "meet
your local cop" day.

You see any violations,
you write a ticket.

You see anything
illegal, you bust it.

Anyone smarts off, you pop 'em.

Any questions?

Well, let's protect and serve.

[PEOPLE SPEAKING IN
KOREAN ON TELEVISION]

How'd it go with O'Brien?

Guy just set the world
record for speed lying.

The unis are passing out
these photos of Angie

to all the local stores.

Hank's lawyer here yet?
Eh, just arrived.

Guess which bozo it is.

Who? Arreyo Gonzalez.

The ambulance chaser who's
on all the city buses?

Mm, greed knows no racial
nor ethnic boundaries.

Can you say accidentes?

Hey, you saw that I just
barely touched that guy, right?

Is that the officer
that assaulted you?

HANK: That's him.
GONZALEZ: See you in court.

We'll see him in criminal court.

The question is why a quiet,
mild-mannered housewife

is holding up convenience stores.
HANK: She's not.

That's your forte,
not your wife's.

I was a kid.
I lifted a couple cases of suds.

Your landlord says you're three
months past due with rent.

My disability ran out.

So you get stressed
when you owe money?

No, makes me feel like I'm on
the beach drinking mai tai's.

Next question.
You know the old joke:

"Do you still beat your wife?"
Well, do you?

GONZALEZ: Next question.

You've been bullying
Angie for years.

She's running around,
knocking off stores in your car

with your gun and you
don't know nothing? No.

DUTCH: You bought three boxes of
0.38 slugs at Big 5 last week.

Why'd you buy the bullets, Hank?

My neighborhoods turned to shit.

I got a right to protect myself.

We've got unis
outside your house.

When Angie comes home,
she's gonna tell us

that you put her up to it.

She won't say it,
'cause I didn't do it.

She's afraid of another beating,

so he scares her into
committing robberies

to put food on the table.

She could be acting alone.

Joanna Faulks had no idea

her husband was a
rapist and a murderer.

She's a battered woman.
She's living under a bully's thumb.

Everything we know about
this woman's thirdhand.

Come on.
Everything we know tells us

that armed robbery
isn't in her nature.

We don't know what's
in her heart or mind.

If I told you the worst five
things I've done in my life,

I'll bet a few
would surprise you.

Something you wanna confess?

No. Ls there anything
you wanna tell me?

[SCOFFS] I'm just saying.

Who knows what secrets
Angie's keeping?

Right?

Surprise inspection.

How are we gonna
find the kitchen?

[WOMAN SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

You ever heard of
a refrigerator?

It's clean. Very safe food.

We got A. VIC: So I see.

We know the wink-wink
deal your councilman has

with the inspectors.

No more grade fixing.

Tell your customers to go home.
You're shut down.

[WOMAN SPEAKS IN KOREAN]

You wanna keep us
out of your backyard,

you give us Charlie Kim.

Tell your friends.

I'll take this one.

So, uh... Ahem. So you...?
You into music?

Well, it's just that
you look like a woman

that appreciates a live show.

'Cause I'm the guy.
I can get you anywhere you want.

Front row, dance center.
You know, so close you'd be able

to lick the sweat off
the tip of Snoop's nose.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I don't think so.

What...? What is it?
You don't date black guys, is that it?

I dated a black guy once.

I wasn't that impressed.

Then you need to give
me that bitch's number

so I can go kick his ass

for killing it for
the rest of us.

I'm... I'm not joking.

Oh.

[SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

Put a stop to this.

Before you can't fix the damage.
Give me Kim.

This is who we are.
It's not perfect, are you?

You used to rebel
against that culture.

I'm a businessman now.

I'm gonna be leader someday.

Just like you,
I have to make choices.

You made the wrong one.
You say that now,

but when you're on city council

you answer to your people...
You lied to me.

Are you gonna tear
your culture down then?

If they protected a child
killer, yes, I would.

[SIGHS]

What if they wanna
speak Spanish in school?

What if they want
a driver's license?

Are you gonna be the
same poli-sci major

who used to talk
about changing things?

My people are not gonna leave
Koreatown without Charlie Kim.

You want us out,

you know what you need to do.

[SPEAKING IN KOREAN]

MAN: Where? Where?

[CONTINUES SPEAKING IN
KOREAN] [PHONE RINGS]

Yeah? I think we have something.

628 Bennet Street.

A local businessman is
hiding Kim in his house.

Hey, drop it, we're on the move.

HEY-

HEY-

Option one is we take him alive,

but feel free to
consider option two.

Lemon, rush it. Rush it.

[GRUNTING]

VIC: Go this way.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

Get 'em up.

SHANE: We're clear in here.

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING, GRUNTING]

Pussy.

We got your number from
Angie Deets' landlord.

He said you two were friends.

Thanks to Hank,
I'm her only friend.

Did that bastard hit her again?

No, Angie's got his gun.

She's out there
committing armed robbery.

Angie'd never do that.

CLAUDETTE: Even to
avoid another beating?

We think Hank's
making her do it.

No. Angie's a good person.

She just wanted to...

What?

WOMAN: Nothing.

She's running around with a gun.

You need to tell us
before she hurts someone.

She wanted to start a new life.

Said if she got
four, 5000 dollars,

it might get her away from Hank.

Why 5000?

Half for her and the
rest for his rent.

She didn't want him to get
tossed out on the street.

Angie has a good heart.

You're free to go.

Still waiting for an apology.

Your wife's out
there robbing places

so she can leave you.

You've lost her. Okay. Yeah.

We spoke to her friend Ginnie.

Apparently she'd rather
risk a lifetime in jail

than spend another
single day with you.

And who can blame her?

Not me.

Shut up!

Your, uh...?
Your back feeling better?

Sit down.
Don't aggravate your injury.

CLAUDETTE: Sit somewhere else.

I want you out of my house.

TAYLOR: I don't see it.
It's not on the... It's not, there's...

Oh, it's right here,
to the left, I'm sorry.

Right there, right
there, right there.

Afternoon.

Ain't no trouble out here.

Except you forgot your
bishop was pinned.

Your bitch is mine. Heh-heh!

These your chairs, gentlemen?

MAN: Why, you wanna buy 'em?

DAN NY: They're stolen property.

You wanna tell us
where you got 'em?

Do we get our 10 bucks back?

Yeah, we can get you
your 10 bucks back-.

Damn.

She, uh,
finally got away from Hank.

I saw that police flier.

Recognized the bitch the
second she walked in.

She started pulling out her gun.

Guess mine was a little faster.

We're gonna need to take
an official statement.

MAN: Okay.

How long to wheel
her out of here?

Excuse me?

So I can reopen my store.

Make yourself at home.

Not a scratch on him.

Against my betterjudgment.
Now we can get our trial,

and Koreatown can see
what we're trying to do.

Might have lost a few
votes there today.

I can afford to lose a few.

Hey, listen.

[SIGHS] Uh...

I'm gonna need some OT.

About 15, 20 hours a week-.

I don't have any to give.
Certainly not that much.

My little one has autism too.

My boy and her are gonna
need private therapists.

It's expensive.

I'm not sure what I can do.
Well, if things come up...

Security details, film jobs,

after-hours clubs. If...

If these things come up,
if you can think of me first?

You'll be spreading
yourself pretty thin.

Look, this AGC sting operation's
important to me, the chief.

You can't afford to
get sloppy once...

I'm not gonna get sloppy.

I'll see what I can do.

You're releasing him?

He's sticking with his
"I found it" story.

We'll look into his finances,
tap his phone, see who he calls.

He's scared. Stir things up,
see what drifts to the top.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

JAMES: You okay?

You were quiet in there.

Yeah.

Work? Hm.

What happened today?

Nothing.

I'm fine.

[LAUGHS]

You told me not to leave
without saying goodbye.

That was four hours ago.

[LOCK CLICKS]

Let me see if I can make
it worth your while.

This is so high school.

Mmm.

I can get my sleeping bag.

Meet me underneath
the grandstands later.

How's the schedule?

You know what?

I'm gonna be in San
Diego next weekend.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Mm-hm.

I'll call you when I can. Okay.

Sorry.

[CHUCKLES]

That wasn't too unpleasant, huh?

Thanks for your help.

And look, look, I was, uh...

I was serious about the
concert, you know?

What...?
What kind of music are you into?

Oh, come on.
Listen, listen, I get it, okay?

You scared of getting hooked
up with a player, right?

But I'm not like that.
I'd just...

No, listen.
I'd like a chance to get to know you.

You serious,
or is this all part of the act?

I can't even believe
you'd asked me that.

I can't. Heh!

Thanks again for your help.

Okay. Heh.

♪ When you're looking at me ♪

Come in, I'll buy you a drink.

Didn't know there was
a reason to celebrate.

♪ What's on your mind... ♪

To Matt and Megan
getting the therapist.

Larry called.
They can have someone here

as soon as two weeks.

That's great news.

One of us is gonna need to
be here a lot more, though.

So, what are we gonna do?

How soon can you give notice?

Oh, go ahead, say it.
You expect it to be me.

Well,
one of us has to pay the bills.

With overtime, I make plenty.
So why aren't you quitting?

Look,
we gotta get together on this.

How does it feel to
get to be selfish,

or don't you know

because you're "with the
children as much as you can be"?

[SIGHS]

We both know you're the
best person to do this.

Yeah.

I know.

Hey, man, where'd you go?

Took care of some
personal stuff.

[SIGHS]

Vic.

We just wanna explain why
we voted the way we did.

There's no need.

LEM: It's not like your kids aren't
worth it. It's just that we...

I told you I'd respect
anything you guys decided.

Besides, I've made other plans.

Uh, hey, how...
How about we grab a beer, then?

I'm buying.

Yeah? With your own money?

Yeah, yeah, with my own money.

I'm sorry, got some paperwork
I gotta finish on Kim.

See you tomorrow.

How about you guys?

I got a wife I
gotta get back to.

Hope you two are happy.

[RONNIE SIGHS]

We did the right thing.

We did the right thing.
