All language subtitles for The SHIELD - S05 E10 - Of Mice and Lem (720p - BluRay)

JULIEN: Previously
on The Shield:

JULIEN: Sir, what's the problem?
[CRYING] My dick. Please.

You're caught in a rat trap.

I've got lupus.
Had it for 15 years.

DUTCH: Hey, Claudette!
Oh, my God!

Don't... Don't move her.
Call the paramedics.

Why didn't you tell me

that Sadie has a history
of mental illness?

I made a life for myself.
You been missing me?

Ex-wife.

[CRYING] I wasn't
worth taking care of

and now I'm...
I'm not worth shit. You...

I wanna go home.

At least we found his weak spot.

Shit, go.

Hey!

You. You're under arrest

for possession of heroin
with intent to distribute.

The price is simple.
I help you put away these fine young men,

you make sure you put
them away right here.

You sent Lem to Lompoc.

It's you that's
the real murderer.

I had a conversation
with Antwon.

You're bluffing.
You don't have the stomach

to serve Lem up to Antwon.

I didn't used to.

[CRYING, SNIFFLING]

[COUGHS]

[TOILET FLUSHES]

[TAP WATER RUNS]

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

[KNOCKING PERSISTS]

Oh, Shit.

Morning.

LEM: You gotta be kidding me.

KAVANAUGH: Welcome home.

KAVANAUGH: You
don't look so good.

LEM: I'm not talking to you.

KAVANAUGH: It's a social call.

You're lucky,
having a friend like Mr. Hovis.

Smithland Hovis?
The good buddy who posted your bail?

Smitty. It's funny.

He doesn't remember
you that well either.

Just get out, man.

You know, when I find out

how Vic and the other
two got that bail money,

they're gonna wish
that they had a friend

like your friend Smitty.

[HACKS, COUGHS]

Jesus.

Is that blood? [GROANS]

Do you need a doctor?

Just get the hell out!

Just get out!

[GROANS] [DOOR CLOSES]

Heard you had a rough week,
so I told Jon I'd stop by

and check in on you.

Sun will rise in the west

the day that man cares
whether I live or die.

Well, he did the same
thing for me with my ex.

Did more for her
than he did for me.

Sounds like you guys are close.

We've been spending a lot
of time together actually,

on account of the job.

But Jon's kind of
tough to figure out.

You know, IAD cops are a
different kind of breed.

Consider yourself fortunate.

You didn't tell me.
Uh, you have kids?

Family wasn't on
Jon's to-do list.

Just as well. Easier to move on.
You want coffee?

Uh, water's fine.

So how does it work,
you and the ex?

Good and bad.

But I look out for her,
make sure she gets what she needs.

At least you guys
have a connection.

For better or worse.
You're not what I expected.

Truth is, I didn't have
a clue what sort of woman

Jon would have married.

Neither did he. Still doesn't.

Just like him to send
somebody else over

to, uh,
carry my emotional baggage.

Tell the prick I'm great.

Hey,
it's tough to be a cop's wife.

Jon's wife is the job.

What keeps him warm at night.

And he's a coward for
not coming himself.

Is there some other message
you'd like me to give him?

Sure.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Uh, what about Jon?

When Jon left me,
he made his choice.

I'll make mine.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey. Where you been?

I had an ex-wife thing.

What did you need us here for?

Not her, me.

I'm gonna take a deal.

Just listen.

If I plead guilty to the heroin
thing, this all seals off.

I mean, without me,
Kavanaugh's got nothing else.

He's got nothing on you guys.

We're not feeding you to Antwon.

BECCA: Lompoc's an idle threat.

The judge will most
likely place him

in a medium-security facility.

Kavanaugh won't let you
escape with a cush deal.

He's got Emolia's testimony, man.
He wants years.

He's got the brass behind him.

Not anymore. OIG and the chief,
they're losing confidence

in Kavanaugh's investigation.

DA's receptive.

I plead guilty to theft
under color of authority,

they'll drop the
intent-to-distribute charge.

No.

BECCA: Five years.

Up for parole in 18 months.

Yeah.

VIC: Man, you plead guilty,

it's your badge,

it's your pension.

We're talking prison.
Eighteen months isn't a week.

I know.

Don't do it.

Don't do it, man.

We're fighting this, man.

LEM: I don't wanna
fight anymore.

I don't wanna fight anymore.

All right, if you were in my
place, you'd take the hit.

To protect me, the team.

I know you would.

[TIT]

Look, no matter what we
do, end of the day,

Kavanaugh's still
got a brick of tar.

He's still got Emolia's word.

You heard Becca.
The chief's losing faith.

I'm discrediting this guy.

So IAD brings in someone else.

They still have the same brick.

I'm doing time no matter what.
This way I got some control.

Look, I'm just so tired of not
knowing what's gonna happen.

Worrying about the rest of you.

I gotta see an end.

Jesus Christ, man.

Look, I gotta get back
inside and talk to Becca.

VIC: Let us know
if anything breaks.

All right.

For him to get out in 18 months,

he's gonna have to
be a model inmate.

That's not gonna happen.

Protective custody's a joke.

He's gonna be fighting for
his life the full five years.

The hell is he thinking?

Well,
between Kavanaugh spinning doom

and Becca selling
him a rose garden,

the poor guy doesn't
know what end is up.

Or he's taking the deal
because he knows eventually.

Kavanaugh's gonna
get him to crack.

I'm off to Lompoc.

[DOOR BUZZES OPEN]

[ANTWON CH UCKLES]

I was beginning to think

that you didn't have
love for me anymore.

I was getting a little jealous,

you spending so much
time with another cop.

Oh, yeah, Kavanaugh's an intense
cat, isn't he?

Hey, shame about Lemansky, man.

But you do know that blondie
will end up in my back yard.

We don't know anything yet.

And if Lem does do time,
he's not gonna land here.

I've got a real big back yard.

And wherever he lands,
I decide his quality of life.

But that's why you're here.

You need something,
same as I do.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have
sent that little black breezy

to find me.

Truth is, Antwon Mitchell's
the answer to all your prayers.

Lemansky's guardian angel.

See, we have a
relationship, you and me.

That relationship's
had its ups and downs,

but it's still a relationship.

You make me drive all the way
here for couples counseling,

or you got something to say?

The Niners have
taken a serious hit

since my incarceration.

Halpern's been running
them under the radar.

Until this black-brown shit
storm plays itself out.

Look, that cranky black bitch

is afraid of his
own goddamn shadow.

I've got some serious
old-school weight coming in.

Kern Little.

I knew Kern's rap career
was in the dollar bin.

I didn't know he
was back in colors.

Eventually, they all come home.

And Kern? He's eager to help
me with my cash-flow problem.

I've gotta hand out a lot
of turkeys at Thanksgiving.

There's a warehouse
on Ridge Road.

Place where they're
storing what's left

of the seized assets.

You want me to rip off a P.D.
warehouse?

Of course not.

Kern's already put
together a team for that.

You just gotta
come up with a plan

on how and when
to get my guys in.

Walk Kern and his second,
Moses, through it.

That's more than an escort.
That's a hooker and a hand job.

Hey, that's the price
for my guarantee

that Lemansky stays alive.

[POLICE SIRENS WAILING] Stand back.
Nothing to see here.

Jesus, his dick's gone.
Somebody find it.

JULIEN: Detectives,
another glory hole.

Ajogger called it in. No ID.

Gunshot?

Shit. JULIENI No.

There's a rat trap
in one of the stalls.

I was real careful not to
disturb the crime scene.

Good thinking. You...
You wanna get that on ice,

send it with him
to the hospital.

It's not gonna matter if
we don't get him stablized.

We need to move now.

Let's get a canvass going.

This is the same m.o.
as that attack couple of weeks ago.

Uh, suspect was
male, Caucasian, 30s.

Well,
let's not rule anyone out yet.

In a world of men,
thought has even crossed my mind.

Serrated teeth.
Interlocking, no less.

This is a lot more gothic than
the last glory-hole attack.

You, uh, talk to the hospital?

Victim's still unconscious.

He sustained a head
injury when he passed out.

He's in pretty rough shape.

So we have no way of
knowing if and when

he'll be able to communicate.

Canvass turn up anything?

Nothing so far.
DUTCH: So we got dick.

Which is more than I
can say for the victim.

CLAUDETTE: We need
to get the word out.

Bookstores, bathhouses, bars,

anywhere this sort
of activity goes on.

Uh, we need to re-interview
the victim in the first attack.

What was his name?

He gave us everything he had.

Well,
he never talked to a detective.

It's, uh, Alarico Trujillo.
I'll write his address down.

This Trujillo guy.
He's married, kids.

I told him I'd keep his name
out of it if he cooperated.

He held up his end.

This has escalated way
beyond a twisted prank.

He's our only conscious witness.

We'll be discreet. Thank you.

Okay.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

Is this thing even
remotely safe?

Make sure it is,
because we got no choice.

VIC: Antwon's the devil we know.

SHANE: Yeah, well,
what if it's the other devil?

Kavanaugh laying a trap?

He's been cutting
deals with Antwon,

maybe this is his last stab
before Lem seals us off.

This place is wide open.

We could spot a
surveillance unit.

If Kavanaugh was
planning a sting,

this wouldn't be the place.

He knows we would think that.

VIC: We sniff out
every inch of this.

Triple-check every last detail.

We get one bad whiff, we bail.

Hey, why don't you crank it up?

Might still be some cops in
Long Beach who can't hear it.

Why don't you relax, thief.

I was hoping I'd never
see you in purple again.

I never took it off.
You know how that goes.

Yeah, I do.

This my boy, Moses, man.

Check them both.

Looking for this? No.

We've had a little
bug problem lately.

What, you think we
work for the white law?

VIC: White law, black power.

It's all the same shit.

Just wanna make sure our
visit stays anonymous.

They're clean.

No shit, Captain Cracker.
SHANE: That's clever.

Can't understand why the
rap career didn't take off.

Hey, hey, hey. Easy, easy, easy.

Now,
what's your goddamn problem?

Times change, man.

I don't trust you
or your ghost squad.

Well,
the lack of love is mutual.

Yeah, I see that.

You and Antwon.
Nothing like karma.

Hey, the favor, I have to do.

Taking mouth shit from M.C.
Has-Been, I don't.

Come on, come on, fellas.

Now, let's just put
this history on hold

and get this shit done. Okay?

Let's go over it.

Let's.

Okay. There's one guard.

Spends most of his shift
at the gatehouse, here.

Guy of ours says the warehouse
is wall-to-wall cameras.

They feed into a bank of
monitors back at the gate.

The seizure locker's here.

Can't miss it.
Right past the Hummer.

There's antiques, TVs and a safe.
A big one.

Mitchell was right.
We checked the inventory.

Over 500 grand in
watches and jewelry.

Yeah, and that's all we go for.

No one drives out of there
with a Hummer or a flat screen.

[CELL PHONE RINGS] VIC: Yeah.

Where are you? Why?

We need to talk.

Kavanaugh's covering his bets

in case the criminal case
against you doesn't make.

[TOILET FLUSHES] What
do you mean "in case"?

Surprised this clown hasn't
gotten the hook already.

By acknowledging you
failed to clear the room

when Terry was shot,
Kavanaugh's trying

to characterize your
earlier statements as false.

That's bullshit.

Told the truth since day one.

Nothing I've said has changed
because the facts haven't.

Well, then he's doing a good
job of twisting your words.

It's not inconceivable that he
could cost you your retirement.

Where did you hear that?

Your case was referred to the
Police Committee for review.

You let him try to
take my pension.

PBA reps will have
his head on a pike.

No, I wouldn't be so sure.

You know,
Kavanaugh could get this

as a face-saving way to
end his investigation.

Never mind prying a cop
with a sketchy jacket

off the taxpayers' tit.

Anyway, we said we'd share.
Thought you'd want the heads-up.

Thanks.

Hey, wait a minute.

Is Kavanaugh making any
noise around here about me?

All's been quiet as
it relates to you.

Undermining him is a priority.

For both of us.

[CLUCKS]

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

CLAUDETTE: We'd like to
speak to Alarico Trujillo.

About a car accident he
witnessed a couple weeks back.

[SHOUTS IN SPANISH]

Uh, we had a few more
questions about that accident.

I told you people everything.

You didn't tell me
about no car accident.

[WHISPERING] I got
nothing more to say.

There's been another driver
that's been seriously injured.

It's important you come with us.

Someplace private.

Look, man, just...
Just leave me alone, okay?

We can do this another
way if we have to.

Pretty soon this is
gonna be a lonely room

filled with empty lockers, huh?

You and me are the only
ones on the way out.

I just cut a deal with the DA.

What deal's that?
Why don't you ask the chief.

It's sitting on his desk
waiting for a signature.

He'll be out on parole

before the blood rushes
back to your face.

You don't mind if
I check the facts

before I pack my bags, do you?

LEM: I don't give
a shit what you do.

Yeah. Thanks.

Chief's office hasn't even
seen Lemansky's deal yet.

His mouthpiece is
feeding him a Happy Meal

to keep his spirits up.

Speaking of Happy Meals,
did Vic bite on that intel

about me, uh,
going after his pension?

What, you didn't see the steam
coming off his bald head?

Beautiful, man.

And I so want there to
be trust between you two.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

I need to use your office.

KAVANAUGH: Of course.

Anything I can do for you?

No. It's a police matter.

Mi casa es su casa.

Excuse me.

Gave us all a scare,
that spill you took.

[SCOFFS]

Well, if you got one of these,

uh, there's plenty of
bounce to the ounce.

Let me get to the point.
I've been made aware

that you have a serious
medical condition.

One that could compromise your
ability to perform your duties.

You needed to disclose a
disease like lupus. You didn't.

Because it was a
personal matter.

Suppose you had taken that
header out in the field.

You could've put
officers at risk.

But it didn't happen.

And I'm not here because
of how I knock down doors.

I'm ordering you to
see a city physician

for a full medical review.

Until then,
you're assigned to desk duty.

Then let's get it done, ASAP.

I've got plenty
of cases to clear.

I'm responsible for
the health and welfare

of everyone working here.

Then maybe you ought
to do something

about the epidemic
bullshit in this place.

Claudette, don't...
Don't interrupt.

This man, Kavanaugh,
that you've just given the place over to.

I understand he's got
an investigation to run,

but have you any idea
what he's doing to morale?

Uh, she's got a point there.

IAD is arrogant and intrusive.

It's the nature of the beast.

But this man takes intimidation
to a whole other level.

He's got every officer
in this place spooked.

They spend more time
looking over their shoulders

than they do doing theirjobs.
Fair assessment.

Our last captain had
unpopular policies,

so you stuck us with
an interim jellyfish

that won't rock the boat.

Then you cut resources
that we need to do the job.

Talk about putting
people at risk.

Crime stats are down
since I took over.

Look, if you aren't out to
lunch, passing the buck

or leaving every day at 4:00,
you'd know that our citizens

aren't reporting half of
what's going on out there

because they know that we
can't or won't do anything.

If you want me to
go and pee in a cup,

I'll be happy to fin it.

But I'm not your problem.

[DOOR SLAMS]

Pretty IOOPY-

Maybe that's why
they call it lupus.

Look, I've been here too long.
My wife's gonna get suspicious.

You have a perfectly
plausible cover story.

If you'd like me to
call and explain...

No. Please.

CLAUDETTE: Dutch.
I just wanna go home.

DUTCH: Uh, give me a second.
Sit down.

What did the
assistant chief want?

I'm trying to comprehend

why you felt the need
to inform the department

that I have lupus.

What? I did nothing of the kind.

The chief's office is
certainly up to speed.

Well, not from me.

You're the only one who knew.

Obviously not.

Because of you,
I'm riding a desk.

Okay, Claudette,
you're not hearing me.

I... I have not spoken
to anyone about this.

You went to the DA before to
make a peace behind my back.

Remember? Oh, come on.

You don't believe me?

If you didn't tell
them directly,

then somebody you told did.

Maybe that little
Latina wet dream.

You gave her a
little bit of gossip

so you could show how
plugged-in you are.

Hold on...
You've crossed the line

into wholesale
character assassination.

Career assassination
is a lot worse.

[DOOR SLAMS]

This is good. This helps a lot.

I'll have an officer
give you a ride home.

I'll take a bus.

I don't wanna be getting out of
a police car in my neighborhood.

MAN: Captain?

BILLINGS: What can I do for you?

Art Gadwah,
Los Angeles Gay Men's Initiative.

I'd like to talk to
whoever's in charge

about recent attacks on
members of our community.

Julien, come talk to this guy

about the rat trap glory-hole
business, will you?

This is Officer Lowe.
He's been with this since the beginning.

Yeah, um,
we've been interviewing witnesses.

In the meantime,
we're asking anyone with any information

to contact us.

So basically you're waiting for
this sadist to turn himself in.

That would be a
wrong perception.

Well, your captain couldn't
wait to shuffle me off onto you.

And it's clear that you'd
rather be anywhere else

than talking to me.

Instead of playing
the blame game,

why don't you help us get the
word out and distribute these?

I'm sure you people know
where the glory holes are

better than we do.

Are you aware that there are
at least a half a dozen attacks

we know of haven't
even been reported?

Maybe those people knew what
they were doing was wrong.

Adults engaging
in consensual sex?

In public, which is a crime.

Thank you for coming down
and registering your concern.

I need your name and badge...

You need to keep
your hands off me.

You and your buddies in blue
can hate all you want to.

We're here.

You need to get used to it.

Did a five-mile sweep.

No RF or infrared
readout anywhere.

Nobody's transmitting
any voice or video.

We've been up and down the dial.
No coded chatter.

[SIGHS]

Oh, Christ. Don't move.

You don't fight, you don't die.

No fighting, man.
Whatever you want.

Shut up. Come on, walk.
Whatever you want.

MUGGER: Open up.
That one and that one.

Hold his gun.

You get the safe.
I'll check the drawer.

Come on.

GUARD: Please, I got a family.

Just let me go, okay?
I won't say anything.

Shut that bitch up.

I won't say anything.
SHANE: Shut up.

Jesus.

Don't forget the tools.

VIC: Jesus Christ.

What the hell are you doing?

Just finishing the job.
Antwon's orders.

Kern had to go. VIC: Holy shit.

SHANE: Turn around against the
fence right now! Right now!

RONNIE: He's gone.
SHANE: What about Kern?

Shit!

This was not part of the deal.

Sure it was.

Part Antwon didn't
tell you about.

SHANE: Holy shit.

It's done.

[GRUNTS]

Kill me,

and you lose favor with Antwon.

And your boy end up face down

in a pool of blood
and blowjuice.

Hey. Hey-

VIC: Get up!

Get the safe and get out.

SHANE: You heard him, let's go.

VIC: Get out.

Go.

[DOOR SLAMS]

What the hell do we do here?

Goddamn it.

Give me a hand.

Shit. Shit.

[GRUNTS] I don't get it.

VIC: Kern was no
back-seat banger.

Antwon had him taken out
before Kern took over.

SHANE: Why not just whack
him when he's in the 'hood?

VIC: Word got out that
Antwon took out Kern,

the street would take
it as a weakness.

Gang without a leader,
brothers jump to other sets.

Kern goes down in
the line of duty,

gets the Niners street cred.

Moses takes over,
pushes Antwon's agenda.

Goddamn it.

Goddamn it, man.

Let's go.

[MAN GROANS]

You gotta be shitting me.

SHANE: These brothers
can take a bullet.

RONNIE: Oh, God. What now?

Get me help.

Get me help.

Please.

Let's go.

Vic, come on, man. We can't...

911 will take 20
minutes to get here-.

He's gonna be dead in 10.

We'll wait.
Then we leave, call it in.

Are you sure about this?

Kern's dead.
We can still save Lem.

Jesus.

No. No.

[GASPI NG] Mackey.
Mackey, please.

Police! We're cutting the lock.

On my command, you stand,
hands on your head.

Sorry,
it's based on a combination.

There's a glory hole over
there, and a couple rat traps.

JULIEN: The owner
said he put them out.

Tough to prove whose is whose.

Stand slowly.
Hands on your head.

We helped you catch him.
I expect you to hold up your end.

What do you suppose would
happen if someone snapped this

on someone's dick?

You're sick. You know that?

I didn't make this up.

This one here,

serrated teeth.

Guy who got caught in this
is gonna pee sitting down,

if he survives.
CLAUDETTE: Glad it wasn't you?

Be a hell of a secret
you'd have to live with.

Something personal
and embarrassing

that affects your
ability to function.

Not something you'd want a
lot of people to know about.

Okay, you wanna do this,
you can talk to him.

I'll come back later.

[DOOR CLOSES]

So, Jarrod,
what have you got against gay folks?

That some sort of tactic?

You pretend to pick a fight

and then you do the
whole tag-team thing?

Just answer the question.

He give you anything?

Nope.

We need to put this
guy in a lineup.

He's all yours.

Tina, we need to bring
Trujillo in again.

I'll tell him to meet you
down the block from his place.

Keep up appearances.

Got it.

Alarico Trujillo on LatimerAve.?

Yeah.

Unis just responded to a
domestic at his address

that got ugly.
You should run with it,

since you're dealing with him.

Okay. Okay.

I got balls in the air on a
big 211 that got called in.

I'm gonna check in
on it personally.

We got here, he was standing
over her with a baseball bat.

We took it off him,
but not before he got a few whacks in.

I got this.

What happened?

We got married,

priest told her everything
I'd done before with men.

That was in the past.

Tried to stop but
she knew what was up.

You people started coming
around, asking questions.

She knew why.

She started calling me a
fag in front of my kids,

so I beat the shit out of her.

[POLICE SIREN WAILS]

SHANE: What the hell
is he doing here?

VIC: Pretending to be a cop.

KAVANAUGH: You
guys call this in?

Yeah. We got a tip

the One-Niners were
hitting this place.

We got stuck in the
van on a stakeout,

couldn't make it
back here in time.

What's the damage?

Looks like the guard
took out one of them

before he got his
head blown off.

Detective Mackey.
Did you know him?

He was Kern Little.

Old-school One-Niner.

Went back to the street game

once his hip-hop
career hit the skids.

Why don't you inventory
what's missing.

We'll start turning
over One-Niner rocks.

KAVANAUGH: Familiar
scenario, this.

[LAUGHS]

How so?

Come on, you don't see it?

A dead cop killed by the
gun of a dead bad guy.

You two, innocent bystanders.

We were on the other side
of Farmington, asshole.

Anybody see you?
SHANE: It wouldn't have been

much of a stakeout if they had.

You should start eating
again, man.

Malnourishment is starting
to screw with your logic.

KAVANAUGH: Lemansky's
going to prison.

You need to protect him.

You reach out to
Antwon Mitchell.

For some reason, he needs
his, uh, crew leader dead.

Bad blood, internal
beef, whatever.

So you kill him.

Your end of the deal.

He keeps Lem alive.

His end of the deal.

How does that
logic sound to you?

Let me remind you
of a few things

you seem to have forgotten.

I didn't kill Terry.

You've lost your
leverage with Lem.

And your ex-wife's pussy

tastes like sweet butter.

What do you want?

Sadie, you gonna let me in?

I'm in the middle of something.

I just need to know if
you, uh, seen this guy?

Yeah, he came through.

You okay?

What do you care?

Sadie, did he hurt you?

You're the only one
who ever hurts me, Jon.

That's not gonna happen again.

Can you just

tell me what he did?
Just tell me what happened.

Just, what did he do?

What did he do?

Um, he made me come.

That's what he did.

No, he didn't.

Oh, yeah.

Twice.

Do you know who this guy
is, Sadie?

Your friend,

who you sent to check up on me.

Well, he did.

What is wrong with you?

Huh?

You need to go.

Move your arm from the
door, Jon.

Now.

Or I will call the police.

Yeah. What's up?

What are you doing here?

Chief's office just
signed off on the deal.

Look, I report for
processing tomorrow morning.

It's okay, man. It's over.

It's over.

Thank you, man.

It's all right. It's okay.

Yeah.

We got your back. I know.
I know. I know.

You'll be taken care of.
You understand?

All right.

I had nothing to do with this.

But if you're asking
if these perverts

deserve to be punished,

look what they're
doing to our country.

Yeah, seducing our
kids, spreading AIDS.

You gave us your spiel.

A moment of your time.

So where are we with this freak?

He's guilty,
just not prosecutable.

The problem is the
evidence is circumstantial

and threadbare, at best.

He matches the
witness description.

Well, there's no way the
DA's gonna indict off

a wife beater's say-so.

DUTCH: Let's put
him on the tour.

Lose him in the system,
uh, buy some time.

With IAD bivouacked in my colon?
You out of your mind?

If you can't close
him, lose him.

Oh, uh, Claudette, chief's
here, wants to see you.

Hey, I tried to keep it
copasetic with you and Phillips.

Detective Wyms,
I got a preliminary report

back from the city physician.

You are medically fit
to resume your duties.

I could have told you that.

PHILLIPS: You'll be required

to have quarterly checkups.

Your nickel.

Understand you unloaded
with both barrels

on my number two, here.

Sometimes happens, I see red.

Changes have to be made.

For starters,
I've decided to appoint you captain.

What makes you think I
want that revolving door?

You know this place better
than anybody in the department.

Which is why you don't see
me jumping at the offer.

My predecessor made a
mistake slapping you down

with that DA nonsense.

But you and I can find a
way to work together, right?

For starters,
I would need a guarantee

that I would run the Barn.

Not in theory, in fact.

No one can do the job with...

Sorry to interrupt,

but I just confirmed

some very disturbing news.

Did you-J;

Did you sign off on
a deal with Lemansky?

I did.

I thought we agreed, no deals.

The only way to get Mackey
is to leverage his guys.

We're in the middle
of something here.

So am I.
And it just got derailed

because you guys backed down.

It's over, Jon.

Sending Lemansky to
jail sends a message-.

We'll all move on now.

And Mackey skates clean.

[LAUGHS]

This guy...
This guy is just pissing...

Just pissing all over us

and we just smile
and lick it up?

PHILLIPS: That's enough.

Vic Mackey kills cops.

He...

He deals drugs,
he beats suspects.

You know what he did yesterday?

He... He screwed my ex-wife

with the sole purpose

of making this investigation
seem like a personal vendetta.

He may have assassinated

a gang leader.

And that's just all in one day.

I wonder what he's
gonna do today.

I wonder what he's
gonna do tomorrow.

This guy!

This guy is just pissing...

He's pissing all over
us, he's pissing on you.

What...?
What does it taste like?

Chief, what does it taste like?
Because you know what?

It tastes like piss to me.

You have 48 hours to
tie up the loose ends.

And find someplace else
to do the paperwork.

Captain Wyms needs her office.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

We'll sneak the whole cow into
you, man.

Hey, Lem, I'm sorry.

I'm glad it's over, though.

That's okay. Thanks. Thank you.

Hey, you're gonna be a little
thinner next time I see you.

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

LEM: Thanks. Hey, I...
I gotta get some things in order.

I'll see you guys at the party.
All right, man.

Here you go. What's that?

That's the paperwork for the
211 you called in last night.

EMT found a ton of jewelry in
the pocket of the dead banger.

Shithead shot an innocent guy

and walked away
with almost nothing.

Which means...?

The goddamn safe was empty?

So Antwon's not
getting his money.

That's gonna screw
the whole deal.

Holy shit.
I gotta talk to Antwon.

These fags choose a life
of sin and suffering,

get what they deserve.

But I'm the one in handcuffs.

[LAUGHS]

Hey. Stand up.

Does his family deserve
to have their lives ruined

because of what you did to him?
Men's room on Alvarado.

Look, I've never
seen that guy before.

But if he's being punished
for his wickedness,

then it's God's will.

You're his spokesman now?

Says right there in the Book.

You shall not lie with a male
as one lies with a female.

It's an abomination.
I mean, come on. Hey, hey.

Leviticus 18:22.
What are you doing?

I don't have to talk to you.
Hey. Hey!

Where do you go to church?

Christ Bethany. What is this?

So then you know that Jesus
lived a perfect life of truth,

and he was crucified for it.

What do you suppose happens to
someone who lies in his name?

Who passes judgment on
other people in his name?

Psalm 71, verse 4.

Deliver me... Hey, stop it!

O, my God,
out of the hand of the wicked.

Out of the hand of the
unrighteous and the cruel man.

Stop!

You wanted to look
at a man down there.

You wanted to touch it.

Thought about it a long
time, maybe all your life.

You just never did it because
you knew that it was wrong.

No. No. No! Oh, God!

So you convinced yourself that
you were doing God's will.

Gave yourself an
excuse to find out

what another man's
penis feels like.

No. I would never do something
so repulsive and disgusting.

You're no different than
the men you prey on.

You're a homosexual. No. No. No.

Homosexual.

[PANTING] No, no, no.

You're just too weak
and afraid to admit it.

That's a lie! That is a lie.
I am a Christian.

And they are vermin.

I did it because
they are vermin.

Why would any man want to
touch another man down there?

I did it to punish them.

[KNOCK]

What, no muffins?

You shouldn't have taken the
deal, Curtis.

You weren't supposed to get
the worst of this thing here.

That's all you did is
threaten me with jail.

That's all it was.
It was just a threat.

Well, you threw me in County.
You arrested me.

I knew you'd make
bail, just not so soon.

It's just a strategy, man.

A wedge to get you to turn.

Cops will always give it
up with the threat of jail.

Always.

But not you.
Not Curtis Lemansky.

I can't believe
you're doing this.

You're gonna take
the hit for him?

For them?

Yeah, well, believe it.

I'm sorry, I didn't, uh...

That we didn't become
friends sooner.

Maybe, uh, I could've pulled
this in another direction

if I just... I just made a...

Any man would be lucky to
have you in his corner.

Good luck, Curtis.

Hey. Hey-

It's over.

I know.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Things went south.

Dirty south. Alabama south.

Yeah, well, if I had all
the information going in,

we wouldn't be sitting here.

But here we are right now.

Big blue and his
little black puppet.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Kavanaugh (“med me, man.

Told me you been bragging

about how you were
playing me against him.

How you manipulated me
into protecting Lemansky

to shit all over his leverage.

That's bullshit.

He's jerking us off.

What do you care?
He can't get to you in here.

No, but he can touch
everyone around me.

That crazy-ass nigga,

he initiated a full-scale DOC
investigation of this place.

The heat is on.

And soon, I won't be feeling
all the comforts of home-.

Look, I'll figure out a
way to get you your cash.

I'll look into this DOC thing.

You've done enough.

The deal and this
conversation are over.

Jesus Christ. I took care of
that little thing for you.

Now you're gonna tell me that
doesn't buy Lem some time?

That buys you one more dead cop.

I got Niners in every
pen in the state.

So wherever he touches
down, it will happen.

And you can set your watch
to that inevitability.

One of your crew so much
as hard looks my guy,

my reach will get you shived.

You got reach like that?

So why you sitting down here talking to
me, gray boy? Huh?

GUARD: Hey, hey. That's enough.

That's enough!

ANTWON: It's okay.
It's all right.

That's just Detective Mackey's
way of saying goodbye.

MAN [OVER INTERCOM]: Security
backup to the day room.

Security backup to the day room.

I cut you a break for that
meltdown in front of Phillips

on account of your medical
problems and so forth.

Then I find out it's part of
your campaign to steal my job?

I didn't go after this.

Why did you do me like this?
I thought you and me were good.

We are good and I
didn't "do" you.

Letting Kavanaugh loose in this
place, they set you up to fail.

It's not your fault.

I didn't fail.

Is that what people are saying?

I'll need you to help
me pick up the pieces.

What,
I'm supposed to stick around

after getting shanked
in the back like this?

No. I got some pride, you know.

Why don't you give
it a few days?

When you're ready to
talk, my door is open.

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER LOUDSPEAKER]

SHANE: You better
get a good look.

The "entertainment"
just showed up.

I figured it was
time for me to leave.

Right.

Uh,
this is not the safest 'hood.

I'll get you to your car.

Oh: my'

I see what you mean.

I'm taking him to
the courthouse,

9 tomorrow morning.

Officially surrender.

You doing okay?

Yeah.

We did the right thing, Vic.

Thank you for helping him.

You're a good friend.
He's lucky to have you.

Hey, what's going on?

Listen, I gotta tell
you something about Lem.

What?

I hear we got a confession
out of Trapper John.

He and Julien reasoned together.

Congratulations
on your promotion.

Thanks.
I didn't know it was public.

I wanted you to
hear that from me.

Ah, you know how things
spread around here.

Like herpes at a
swingers' party.

While you were stretched
out on the floor over there,

paramedics found
Prednisone in your purse.

They called your
doctor to find out

what you were being treated for,

Billings overheard and
reported to Phillips.

He just told me.

He thought lupus was
an emotional disorder.

I'm sorry.

Well,
you can't un-ring that bell.

You don't trust me.

I made a mistake.
You made a choice

to think the worst about me.

I'll need your support.
I've got my work cut out for me.

You'll do fine.

Whoever sits up there has
to have an active mistrust

of everyone and
everything in this place.

I can't imagine anyone
better suited to the job.

[LEM LAUGHING]

Who...? Who were they?

VIC: Look, you guys,

I hate to step on
the pussy and laughs,

but we gotta talk
about a change.

What change?

You're not going to prison.

What are you talking about?

Look, we made a deal with Antwon
to get you safe passage inside.

It went bad.

The thing at the warehouse?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Kavanaugh's launched a
Department of Corrections

investigation of Lompoc.

He's gonna make
Antwon's life hell.

And Antwon's blaming me.

SHANE: Oh, goddamn it.

But I won't end up in Lompoc.

Word gets out
Antwon's got a beef,

any prison,
any protective custody,

best-case scenario,
you bust enough heads to stay alive.

Which means I can kiss
early release goodbye.

You'll kiss everything goodbye.
What am I supposed to do?

You're gonna lay low until
I can figure out a way

to get Antwon back on board.

You're putting him on the run?
I can't run.

VIC: We're out of options.
I do not want to do this.

Do we even have a plan?
I'm working on one.

Where's he gonna go?
I don't know! I don't know!

Now, you're gonna hide while
I find Gilroy's contacts.

Mexico? No. No.

Lem, it's only temporary.

But what about my deal?
If I run, they'll throw it out.

They'll have new charges.

It's better than
the alternative.

Lem, right now this is
about keeping you alive.

Lem, I promise you.
I promise you, man.

I promise you,
we're gonna make this work.
