[overlapping
Police transmissions]

Taylor: all right,
Lieutenant.

I got about
10 minutes,

So walk me through this

As fast as you can.

Ok. The victim's
A 16-year-old boy

Named malik fara.

Site manager
Found him here

This morning
At 8:30.

Looks like he was
Shot 3 times?

4, actually. He's got
One in the back.

The boy falls,
He turns over,

He tries to crawl away,

He falls over
Onto his back,

So malik here was looking
Straight up at the killer

When he got blasted
In the chest.

Taylor: mchale.

Evidence suggests

That there were
3 people here,

Including
The victim.

We have 3 different
Pairs of male shoes.

These footprints
Here are malik's,

The blue tape.

Those over there
Are the shooter's,

The red tape.

And there's a third set
Over by those car tread marks.

So, fellas, anyone
Know why there's

A dead arab teenager
In the middle of nowhere?

Gabriel: the kid's
Not from around here,

Not that anyone
Is from around here,

But we found a library
Card in his backpack

That's from
Mayflower academy.

Malik might be
A rich kid.

What else did he have,
Detective ross?

Some sheet music,
Bus schedule,

A change of clothes,

Toothbrush,
And some sandwiches.

Looks like he was
Going somewhere.

Mchale: maybe he was
Meeting the person in that car,

Got surprised
By the shooter.

That doesn't explain
Why malik brought

A knife with him.

Taylor:
What knife?

Over here.

Let's start
At the beginning.

So we got 3 people.
There's malik,

And over there,
There's the guy

In the car we believe
Malik was looking

To meet up with,
And then there's our killer.

Now if we follow
The kid's footprints,

He walks towards the car,

And then from behind
Comes the killer.

Malik and the killer
Struggle for a moment,

Malik stabs him,
Probably in the leg,

Because there's
A blood trail,

And it looks like the guy
Was dragging his foot

Or maybe limping.

How do we know it was
The boy who had the knife?

We found a slit
In the pocket

Of the jacket

Where the knife
Cut through.

Commander, this boy
Was scared of someone.

So malik stabs the shooter,
Maybe in the leg.

Malik starts running.

Bam! Shooter hits
Boy in the back.

Gabriel: well, maybe.
We found two casings

Over here where
The two of them struggled

And then 3 more
Up by the body,

Probably
From the chest wounds,

And then 3 more
A little further on.

I mean, it was nighttime,
So the kid probably--

Mchale: the site
Manager I interviewed

Said that nobody
From the development

Company's been here
For 48 hours,

So this could
Have happened

During the day
Yesterday.

Well, not exactly,
Because it didn't stop raining

Until about 6 p.M.
Yesterday,

And these muddy
Footprints were made

Sometime after the storm,
Detective.

Taylor: how did all these
People get here?

I think it's safe
To assume they all drove.

We only found evidence
Of one car, sir.

Flynn: look. We should
Probably widen

The search perimeter,
Get some more personnel--

We can't spare
The resources

Right now,
Lieutenant.

There was
A murder/suicide

In hollywood last night.

Besides, the evidence
Seems

Pretty much localized.

Well, we
Won't know that

Unless we expand
The perimeter.

After 4 months,
You boys should realize,

We're not playing
This game

By atlanta
Rules anymore, ok?

Someone get samples
Of the blood to the lab.

Those casings go
To ballistics.

You check
With the local hospitals,

See if anyone walked in

With a knife wound
To the leg

And try and wrap
This up.

A lot of people dying
In l.A. This week.

[door opens]

Wow. A 5-mile run
In 15 minutes.

That's pretty amazing.

How far did you get
This time?

All the way to that
Pastry shop I hate.

You know, I have
An idea.

Why don't you call
Someone from work

And ask them
Out to lunch?

Like who?

Did you ever call
Tao back?

Lieutenant tao
Doesn't have time

To have lunch
With me.

Besides, he's been
Reassigned

Back to s.I.D.

Really?

When did that happen?

Last thursday.

Daniels was sent
To liaison

With homeland
Security.

I got an e-mail
From her.

Taylor's using my
Paid administrative

Leave to rip
My squad apart.

Well, you got--ow!

Sorry.

[sighs]

Sanchez and provenza,

I'm sure they would love
To hear from you.

They're in the same
Situation you are.

They are not!

Sanchez and provenza

Are being investigated
By internal affairs.

Maybe if provenza
Hadn't left his gun

In his desk drawer
In a liquor bag

And sanchez hadn't
Shot that guy

4 times...
Then the fbi

Wouldn't be
Using the fact...

Let's not go
Through this again.

That a federal agent
Was shot to death

In my murder room
By one of their own

Protected witnesses
To ruin my career,

And you know it,

You know it,
You know it.

Is there any way

To not have
This argument again?

I'm not the fbi.
I just work there,

And paid administrative
Leave is not all bad.

You're getting a check
To just hang out

While the bureau finishes
Their investigation.

[grunts]

If you don't want to
Have lunch with someone,

Why don't you use
That time to finish off

Some of the many
Projects you've started?

Or maybe clean
Them up.

I can't have lunch
With anyone today

Because pope
Has called me in

For another meeting,

And he won't say
What it is,

So it's bad,

And if you could
Just find out

What the fbi's
Saying about me,

Maybe I should just
Start looking for work.

I will tell you
Immediately.

You know I would.

Honestly, I would.

Ok. I...

Hey, 4 months
Seems long,

But it's routine

For an investigation
Like this.

Right now,
I have to, uh...

You have to go
To work.

I do, I do.

Don't go to work.

Look. After you
See pope,

You'll call me, ok?

Ok.

And I love you.

I love you, too.

Got to go.

Ok.
Ok.

What about malik's
Family? Mchale?

They're lebanese.

Father's deceased,
Mom works nights.

Has no idea why malik
Would be out that late.

He never did that before,
Doesn't have a car,

And the mother said
He'd never run away.

What else? Oh.

Malik was some kind
Of hardcore pianist.

Played in competitions,

Didn't have time
For girls or friends.

Flynn, anything
From the hospitals?

Last night was
A rare one.

Not one stab wound
Reported

In all
Of l.A. County.

Really?

Does anybody have
Any ideas

About this
"N-l-e-r-n-l-w-l"

On the boy's hand?

Could be initials,
Maybe a girl.

With a long, long,
Very long name.

Come on. Ross,
Hurry it up.

Ok. The cs show where
We found casings.

These different-colored
Lines are the paths

Our 3 players took.

This is malik,
This is the killer,

And this is the guy
From the car.

The casings eject
To the right of the gun,

So we can tell where
Our shooter stood

From the rounds
That he fired.

One, the killer
Grabs the kid,

And they struggle,
And the gun goes off.

Two, he shot malik
In the back from here.

3, he shot
At the guy in the car

Once here, twice here.

And the last 3 casings,

The killer limps
Back to malik

And shoots him
In the chest.

Now going back to the
Vehicles for a second--

Wait a minute, ross.
Wait a minute.

Give me this.

Now, look where the
Assailant grabbed malik.

The bruises on the
Boy's neck indicate

That the killer
Had him in some kind

Of serious choke hold.

Sergeant gabriel.

Now he could have
Strangled him then

Or shot him.

He had his gun out.

Instead, the killer
Shoots forward trying to...

Hit the guy in the car.

Malik stabs his assailant,
He takes off,

His killer shoots him
In the back,

But even after shooting him,
He doesn't finish him off.

He walks right
Past him...

Trying to shoot
The guy in the car.

Malik was not
The primary target.

But malik's
Our victim.

Ross, you were
Saying something

About the vehicle?

Ross: yeah. The killer's
Blood trail stops here,

So it's probably
Where he parked.

Excuse me.

Over here, the guy
Who ran away,

Fishtails off
In his vehicle unhit.

We found no evidence
Of broken glass,

Paint chips,
Or bullet fragments.

And how did malik
Get there?

Gabriel: you remember
The bus schedule

We found in the kid's
Backpack.

There's a stop about
3/4 of a mile away.

I contacted the mta.

They tracked down the driver
Of the bus last night.

And he said he remembers

Seeing malik get
Off around 10 p.M.

So the kid walks
Almost a mile

In the dead of night
To the middle of nowhere,

And he brought a knife
With him to a gunfight.

Why?

All right.

Detectives ross
And mchale,

See if you can
Speed up

The dna test

From the blood
On the knife.

Gabriel, flynn,

Why don't you
Two focus

On that
Murder/suicide for now?

Ross and mchale
Can handle this.

Oh. And thank you,
Everybody.

Thank y'all
So very, very much.

* thank you

Oh, I'm sorry, will--
Uh, chief pope.

I was told that you
Were ready for me.

No. We are.

An old friend
Of ours

Would like
To speak with you.

You remember
Andrew schmidt?

Andrew, w-what
Are you doing here?

Nice to see you
Again, too, brenda.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I mean, it's--it's
Nice to see you, but--

What am I
Doing here?

She was always
Very quick

To get to the point,
Wasn't she?

And you don't seem
To have aged at all.

Neither have you, sir.

She's also one
Of the best liars

I have ever known.

As to why
I am here...

Commissioner schmidt
Thinks

He might
Be able to make

The federal
Investigation

Into the shooting
In your squad room

Go away.

Uh, pardon me, andrew,

Because that's
A very generous offer

And it's good to see
A friendly face,

But why is the c.I.A.
Interested in helping me?

Oh, they aren't.

In fact, the c.I.A.

Wants you
To help them,

And if you did,

The company would
Make certain

That you got
Your job back

As a means of
Expressing

Their thanks.

And if I don't?

Then there
Will be nothing

To thank you for.

Ok. How can I help?

Pope: an arab boy
Named malik fara

Was found murdered
This morning.

Commander taylor is
Investigating it

With what's left
Of your squad.

But mr. Taylor lacks
Critical information

Necessary to solving
This crime.

The lapd has its own
Intelligence division.

They can handle this.

Unfortunately,
Malik's murder

Is proof
That there is

A significant
Breach

In agency security.

The company could
Not safely rely

On official
Channels,

Which is why they've
Reached out

To retired personnel
Like you and me.

They don't trust
Their own people?

They do not.

And all you need
From me

Is to investigate
The murder of this boy?

Here's what I can
Tell you

In advance
Of an agreement.

The death
Of malik fara

Was almost certainly
A mistake.

The intended victim,
If he's still alive,

Is in terrible
Danger.

We must do
Everything we can

To save him.

Lastly, the person

Who is responsible
For this

Must be found,
Debriefed,

And held
Accountable.

I need my squad
To do this.

I can't give it
To you legally.

You're still under
Federal investigation.

If andrew can make
This go away

When I'm done,

Why can't he
Do it now?

There is a fear

Related to your
Past behavior

That you might
Be tempted

To substitute

Your own agenda
For ours.

Well, how can I
Be expected

To conduct
This investigation

Right under
Taylor's nose alone?

I didn't say
You had to work alone.

I said you can't have
Your squad back legally.

How you manage
Your resources

Is up to you.

How is your memory
Holding up?

It's excellent.

If you could come
To this address...

This evening
At 9:00.

And, um, brenda,
Please be sure

You're not
Followed, hmm?

I'll see you
Tonight.

Be very careful.

[gate creaking]

I--I hope you have
A written agreement

Stating that if I
Solve this murder

For you
I get my job back.

Oh, I do, I do.
Please sit.

Uh, here are some
Files you will want.

A database,
One of our laptops,

And a phone
With your hello number.

When you want to
Check in,

Identify yourself
As gwen and ask

For mr. Schmidt,
And they'll find me.

Oh. And here's
The agreement

That you need
To read and sign

Before we can proceed.

Oh.
Voila.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

[andrew sighs]

Odd, isn't it,

How our enemies
Never change?

During world war ii,
They recited "Mein kampf"

While shoving people
Into gas chambers,

And during most
Of my professional life,

They, uh, shot you
In the back of the head,

Quoting marx and engels,

And now they misuse
The koran.

Same people,
Different books.

What was
Operation fireproof?

Your signature,
Please.

Thank you.

Operation fireproof
Was a collections network

Comprised of 4 agents,
Who were recruited

From within the los angeles
Iranian community.

Fireproof's focus
Was on foreign nationals

Who were trying
To obtain

Nuclear weapons
Technology for tehran,

And for a season,

Fireproof was
Considered successful

Until all 4 of its agents
Were murdered,

One after the other,
Two weeks ago.

And the case officer
In charge

Of operation
Fireproof,

Larry cole--
Is he still alive?

Yes. And that's
Troubling.

I'll say.

Why roll up
The chain

And leave
The anchor in place?

And this malik fara?

Tell me, how did

A c.I.A. Officer
Get involved

With an adolescent
Lebanese

Concert pianist?

One day last september,
Mr. Cole was intercepted

In an l.A. Parking garage
By this boy--malik--

Who quietly proceeded
To recite the real names

Of every member
Of operation fireproof.

Fireproof was
Highly classified,

So there was only one way

That malik could possibly
Obtain that information.

The agency has
A mole.

I've always preferred
To use the word traitor,

Especially when blood
Was spilled,

And our traitor
Is feeding information

To a terrorist organization.

We know this because
Malik described

The source
Of his knowledge

As a highly trusted contact
Within the army of allah.

Now, malik's contact
Was willing to defect to us

On two conditions,

First, that we provide
Him and malik

With immunity
From prosecution,

And then that we
Should grant them both

U.S. Citizenship.

[gate creaking]

Man: I'll see
You tomorrow.

Woman: good night.

I'm sorry.
I'm a bit on edge.

So did larry cole

Tell his bosses
About malik?

Not at first.

It took mr. Cole
A month to make sure

The boy was safe,

But then when he reported
Malik's existence...

No one believed him.

Yeah. Well, the story
Is spectacular.

And this friend
Of malik,

This terrorist contact
In the army of allah,

You think he'll lead you
To your traitor?

Perhaps.

And what do you want
Me to do,

Catch malik's
Murderer

Or locate
This contact?

I should like you
To do both.

I'm just, um...

I want my job back,

But I'm a criminal
Investigator, andrew.

Finding out
Who killed malik,

That's my profession.

Handing over
Potential defectors

To the c.I.A.
Without knowing why

Or what you're gonna
Do with them,

I don't do that anymore.

I believe that
The army of allah

Has collected

Enough separated
Plutonium

To create
An atomic bomb.

I need to find

That separated
Plutonium,

And I need you
To help me.

Stealing
Information,

Passing secrets,

Reading
Other people's mail,

Blackmailing
Foreigners,

Lying
To your friends

And your loved ones

About your
Daily lives--

We are most days
Gray people

Doing gray jobs,

Shadows in a world
Of black and white,

But then,
You know,

Every once
In a while,

We're offered
The opportunity

Where we have
The chance

To do something

That is
Absolutely right

To its very core!

This is one of those
Times, brenda.

I'll help you, andrew...

If I can talk
To who I want.

People will cooperate?

Company people, yes.

Richard branch,

Chief of our outpost
In los angeles.

If you tell him
What you want,

Richard
Will arrange it.

This friend of malik's,

What position does he hold
In the army of allah?

I don't know.

How did he communicate
With malik?

I don't know.
His nationality?

I don't know.

Well, what does
He look like?

I don't know.

How old is he?
I don't know.

Then how in the hell
You plan on finding him?

He's probably
On the database

Of possible
Terrorist associates

I was given
Access to.

Terrorist
Associates. Yeah.

How many names
In that database?

Approximately
60,000.

Oh, crapola.

Now I'm getting
Irritated.

Why are you even
Looking for this guy

If he's not the killer?

Because his life
Is in danger

And because he might
Have information

The c.I.A. Wants.

Let's get back
To that for a minute.

I still don't get why
The c.I.A.

Is asking
You to do anything.

I told you already,
Lieutenant.

They came to me
Out of the blue

With this offer,

And if it gets us

Back in
The squad room--

Don't kid yourself,
Chief.

I'll help you out.
I got nothing else to do,

But I could find
The lindbergh baby,

And it wouldn't get me
Back into our squad room.

No, no, no. The lapd is
Retiring my ass.

I won't let them.

Don't make promises
You can't keep.

So...

Where do we start?

Well, I don't
Fully understand

How malik came
To be where he was,

So I want to see
Where he died,

But I want to see it
Like he did--at night.

And we might need
A little help.

Thanks for your help,
Lieutenant flynn.

I know you have other work.

That's ok, chief. I've
Got gabriel covering it.

Besides, it's
A murder/suicide.

Except for
The paperwork,

It kind of
Solves itself.

Anyway, the crime scene
Is right through this gate.

That's where he died.

I want to find out
How he got there.

Wouldn't he go in

Through the main
Road here?

If he was in a car,
But he was on foot.

Excuse me.

How are things going
With taylor?

Oh, just great.

He's been passing
Investigations off

To other divisions
And counting them

As clearance on paper.

We're doing
30% better.

Asshole.

Look.

What?
There.

An illuminated
Marker.

Who would
Notice that?

Someone who's
Looking for it.

Provenza:
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is creepy.

You want me
To hold you?

Brenda: ok.

"N" and "L."

Now, let's go north
And look left.

Which way is north?

North is this way.

North and look left.

Look at that.

Ok, last one.
Go west and look left.

I told taylor we should
Expand the crime scene.

No, this is
Phosphorescent dye.

It wouldn't have shown up
In the daytime anyway.

Let's keep following
Malik's directions.

How does she know
About this stuff?

Flynn: so, chief,
The crime scene's

Just up
That hill a piece.

Ok.

So all these markers
Are so malik

Can find his way

While being sure
He wasn't followed.

And he would have
Arrived here

Feeling like he
Avoided surveillance,

And he waited until

The guy in the car
Drove up.

Was there anything
In his knapsack

He could have used
To signal his friend?

No, chief.

Wait, wait.
What about this?

What are you looking for?

A transmitter.

Huh.

That explains how
Malik was followed here.

And why he didn't
Know it.

The murder of malik
From the boy's end,

And we'd better
Leave him to it.

So let's discuss
What we know

About the guy

From the car--
Malik's friend.

First, he's
Foreign because one of

The things he asked for
Was u.S. Citizenship,

And he asked for
Immunity from prosecution,

So he's participated
In criminal activity,

Probably terrorism.

We also know that
He communicated

With malik recently

Because the boy
Had freshly written

Directions on his hand.

And I think that
We can assume

That the guy
From the car

Picked the rendezvous point.

We also know
He got there

Sometime after 6:00,

When it stopped
Raining,

Because the dye
He used

To mark
Malik's route

Would have washed
Away in the rain.

And we almost
Have his height.

He had a size
12 shoe,

Plus running
Back to the car,

His stride
Was at least

5 feet long.

So he's got to be
6 feet tall.

You know what?

Shh!
Shh! What is...

[whispering] what
Is wrong with you?

The guy--let's
Call him mr. T.

"T" for terrorist.

So mr. T. Has been
In l.A.

Longer than
Just yesterday,

Because
The place he chose

For the meeting
With malik

Is not on
A lot of tour guides.

Howard: brenda, come to bed.

Brenda: let's wrap
This up.

Uh, we still have not
Narrowed down very much

Who mr. T. Might be,
And we know nothing

Of how he communicated
With malik.

Um...This is
Gonna be hard.

Lieutenant flynn,
If you and sergeant gabriel

Could copy the malik
Murder book for me

Without taylor
Finding out about it.

And, um, if the killer's dna
Came back from that knife,

I'd like that, too,
Please.

Yes, ma'am.
I'll help you

Any way I can,

But mainly because
I really miss hearing

The word "Please."

Uh, lieutenant
Provenza and I

Are going to look
For the killer

Without creating
Too much tension.

How do you intend
To do that?

By going where
Taylor can't.

Good night.

Good night, sergeant.
Thank you.

Good night,
Chief.

Wait a minute.
W-wait a minute.

You're not going to
Tell them anything

About this
Operation fireproof?

I don't know enough
About it

Myself yet,
Lieutenant.

That's why tomorrow

I'm meeting with
Some of the people

That put it together.

This richard branch, who
Heads up the c.I.A. Show

Here in los angeles.

He's gonna
Take me around.

This is dangerous.

We know of 5 people

Already connected
To fireproof

Who have been
Murdered.

So if anything
Happens to me,

I'm gonna need you
To be able to report

On the substance
Of what I've done,

But you can't be at
Any of the interviews,

And the c.I.A. Can't
Know about it.

Ok, double-o-7.

Just tell me what
You want me to do.

[ring]

Buzz watson.
How can I help you?

Chief johnson
Wants what?

Push the other
Button.

I can't hear
Very well.

It'd be easier
If you drove

And let me handle
The equipment.

Since when have I
Ever wanted

To make things easy
For you?

Right.

Brenda: so, richard,
How long have you been

Chief of outpost
Here in los angeles?

Two years, so I was
In charge out here

During some
Of fireproof,

But I didn't know
What the operation

Was about until
Andrew showed up

Asking questions.

And when was that?

Uh, right after
Larry cole was fired.

Oh, I thought andrew
Didn't come

Until fireproof station
Started dying.

No, no. He was here
Much earlier than that.

Ok. Pull over, buzz.
Pull over. They've stopped.

Pull over. Pull over!

Give me a second.

I might ought
To tell you

That elaine donahue
Is angry about this.

To her way
Of thinking,

She organized
Fireproof perfectly

And it's still
A big success,

So be careful how
You approach her.

She can be
A raving bitch.

Thanks for the advice.

And by what name
Would you like

To be introduced?

You can call me brenda.

The raving bitch and I
Are old friends.

[doorbell rings]

[chuckles]

Hello.
Hello.

My name's cynthia.

I won't bother
To ask your names,

Because I know
You'd only lie.

My mother's expecting
You in the back.

I'd appreciate it
If you kept

Your questions
To a minimum.

Even though she's
Desperately lonely,

She's been
Emotionally exhausted

From the way you people
Have treated her, so...

Hurry it up.

Thank you.

Brenda leigh johnson!

Which of my old students
Could andrew have sent

To more lighten
My mood?

Richard, good of you
To come.

Nice to see you,
Too, elaine.

I set this all out
Last night

While cynthia
Was asleep.

She's angry
On my behalf, you know.

Did you hear, brenda?

Richard is
My new boss.

One day I'm reading
His reports at langley,

Feeling slightly sorry
For his backwater posting,

And the very next week,
I am shuffled off

To be officer
In residence at ucla,

Writing up little summaries
On foreign exchange students.

Such a change
Of pace.

I hope you like
The cake.

It's store-bought,
But from a good store.

Devil's food.

Thank you, elaine.
That's so nice of you.

So how is andrew,
Anyway?

I heard he looks
Horrible.

Someone said cancer.

Hope that's not true.

So I was wondering
If you could tell me

About operation
Fireproof.

Of course. That's why
We're sitting here, isn't it?

Because andrew says
Fireproof blew up in my face,

Which is complete
Bullshit.

I made coffee. Anyone?

No, thank you.
Not me.

Ok, so the set piece.

After the invasion
Of iraq,

The c.I.A.'s domestic
Activities division

Approves a collection
Operation code named fireproof.

Fireproof's
First recruited agent

Turns out to be
A gold mine--

Mr. Mohammed nuballe,

An iranian banker
Living in l.A.,

With connections
To the army of allah.

He was transferring
Large wads of cash

From an army of allah charity
To a russian entrepreneur,

A former kgb officer
Named voitski.

Have you ever heard
Of a military base in russia

Called
Krasny szesenski?

It translates
Into english as--

Red pines.
I remember.

It's a nuclear
Missile installation.

Correct. That's

What mr. Voitski
Sold to

The army of allah,
My dear.

A decommissioned
Missile.

In parts. Useless
As a weapon, but still.

I find that a little
Hard to believe.

Elaine, what
Makes you think

The army of allah
Was able to pull off

Buying a russian
Nuclear missile?

I don't think.

I know.

We found actionable
Intelligence

Proving that's what
They were gonna do,

And I convinced the company's
Board of directors

To let voitski sell the army
Of allah that missile

And to focus every conceivable
Surveillance asset

On following that missile
From red pines to berlin.

And elaine succeeded,
Didn't she, richard?

Yeah. We got
The missile back,

Plus a fair number of
Their support network.

So what makes operation
Fireproof a failure?

Larry cole
And that boy malik,

Who suddenly pops up
Out of nowhere

And tells us we were
Duped, faked out, misled,

That operation fireproof was
Acting on framed material.

That while we were
Focusing on red pines,

The real money was
Changing hands elsewhere

And that that support
Team we rolled up

Was all part of
A kleenex network--

Tissue terrorists--

Manufactured
To be thrown away.

So elaine found
The missile.

Yes, she did, and some
Very bad people.

And what did elaine
Get for it?

Her daughter's
Greenhouse.

Banished. Banished.

I don't want to spend
The rest of my life

Watering
My daughter's plants!

I want my job back,
Brenda. Pretty please.

I want my job back.

So if not red pines,

Where was the real
Money changing hands?

If you want to know
What larry cole thinks,

Talk to him.

And you want to
Hide this because...

Brenda:
The murder book

That lieutenant
Flynn got for me

Is all I need
For right now.

Besides, when larry
Cole gets here,

I don't want
Him to see

Malik's picture
All over the place

Or how little we know.

By the way, are you
Carrying your gun?

You mean the gun
That got us both

Put on administrative
Leave? That gun?

Better that one
Than none at all.

[knock on door]

[whispering]
Go on. Go. Go on.

Do you want
Some help?

I got it. I got it.

Brenda: please
Have a seat.

Mr. Cole,
There's so much

I've been
Waiting to ask you

I hardly know where
To begin, but first,

Looking at your
Personnel file,

Let me say
How sorry I am

About your
Recent divorce

And losing custody
Of your son like that,

Then getting fired

With not very good
References.

That's tough.

And then just when
You're facing all

Those personal and
Financial pressures,

All of your agents
Are murdered,

And now malik, too.

I think you were
The only person

Familiar with
All the victims.

Is that right?

Obviously not.

Can you think
Of anyone else

Who knew them...

While they were
Alive, I mean?

No.

You know,

Elaine donahue
Made a suggestion

That we should
Discuss.

She believes
You made malik up

Out of thin air,
Because no one else

Ever spoke to him
Or saw him.

Just you.
Do you have any idea

How we can
Confirm your report?

How about this? The kid
Said it was dangerous,

And now he's dead.

But how do we know
You weren't just

Waiting around
For the first dead

Arab teenager to
Turn up in the news,

That you
Didn't latch on

Was the boy I wasder
Telling everyone about"?

You never identified
Malik fara

Until after
He was dead.

I was trying
To protect him.

Well, you didn't do a
Very good job, did you?

I have a copy
Of everything

That the lapd
Has compiled

In this investigation,

And there is nothing
Here indicating

How malik communicated
With his contact

Inside the army
Of allah.

Do you have any idea
How they traded messages

With each other?

No.

Are you, by any chance,
Trying to protect

Malik's friend?

No.

It's been suggested that
Malik was running away,

But the only I.D.
Found in his knapsack

Was a library card.

Where might his passport
Have been?

He didn't have
A passport.

He was living here
Illegally.

We have dna
From malik's killer.

Anyone you can
Think of

We might match those
Results against?

If you want to accuse me,
My dna's on file.

Andrew can get it for you.

Look, I am not a killer.

Malik was real.
His information was real.

This whole red pines thing
That elaine is so proud of,

It was a whopping
Big misdirect.

Richard:
While we were bluffed

Into using all our assets

To cover the missile,

The real action was
Going down in obninsk.

Thank you, richard,

But I don't need
Answers from you.

Richard: but you're asking
The wrong questions, ma'am.

Do you even know what
Russia stores at obninsk?

About 60 tons
Of separated plutonium.

But it doesn't take
60 tons to make a bomb,

Does it? No.

It only takes 20 pounds,
About that much.

Our scientists turn up their
Noses at separated plutonium.

It's not as good as the stuff
We use in our bombs,

But it will do the job.

Is that what
Malik told you

The army of allah
Had done--

Misdirected our assets
So they could smuggle

Separated plutonium
Out of obninsk?

In a round
Stainless-steel container

About 10 inches
In diameter,

Made to look like
An oversized hockey puck.

And this mr. Nuballe,
The iranian banker

That you leveraged
Into helping you,

Did he misdirect you
About red pines?

No. No. Nuballe never knew
What he was paying for.

He was a cutout,
A go-between.

We got the intelligence about
The missile from the seller,

Mr. Voitski.

I, uh...

I trained a young girl.

Dara. College student.

Used her
As a honey trap.

She seduced voitski,
Had an affair with him.

Whenever voitski
Took her out,

We would go through
His stuff.

Dara. Yes.

That's another one
Of your agents

Who's no longer
With us.

You seem to have
Been close to her.

Training a young girl
To seduce older men--

That's tricky.

How did you
Manage that?

Or should I ask
Your ex-wife?

Moving on.

What did voitski say
When you picked him up?

Cole: we didn't
Pick him up.

The company felt
That voitski was

The only ongoing connection
To the army of allah,

And we felt it was
Important

To leave him out there.

Out where, mr. Cole?
And by where,

I mean his address.

Gabriel: ok, chief.
Voitski's parking

Outside his
Apartment building.

He's getting out
Of his car now.

Uh-huh. Hold on.
Hold on a minute.

Wait a minute.

Ooh, chief.
Chief, he's limping

Towards
The front door.

What do you
Want us to do?

Good lord, buzz.
Drive faster.

Hang on.

He didn't see you,
Did he?

No. No, he didn't
See us.

Uh-huh. Ok.
Yes, ma'am.

No, we'll wait
For you.

Sure he didn't see you?

Gabriel: I'm positive.

Lieutenant,
Are you ok?

Uh, oh, yeah. Yeah.

Wait. Hold on
A second.

Pope told us to bring
Some extra stuff.

Ok.

Lieutenant, you're
Gonna have to wear a gun

Sooner or later, and I feel
Sooner very strongly right now.

Brenda: it's not
That one. It's 614.

[knock on door]

Mr. Voitski!
Yoo-hoo! Mr. Voitski!

You two turn around.

Chief, we need
A warrant for that.

Oh, you do. We're on
Administrative leave.

You two stay right there.

Mr. Voitski?

Mr. Voitski!

Mr. Voitski!
Yoo-hoo!

Mr. Voitski?

Mr. Voitski?

Lieutenant provenza,

Please pull down
Mr. Voitski's pants.

What?

Pull down his pants, please.

Ok, what's going on
In there, you two?

We're just checking
To make sure we're alone.

Stay by the door.

This is gwen. I need
Mr. Schmidt, please.

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

Provenza: chief.

I found the man
Who killed malik.

Does the name
Voitski ring a bell?

Dear god.

So as far as
I'm concerned,

My work here
Is through.

If you want my continued
Assistance, andrew,

Identifying
Malik's friend,

Finding your mole and
The separated plutonium,

We're gonna have to
Change the rules.

What do you want?

I want my job back
With my squad intact,

Or I hang up,
Walk away,

And you can clean this
Mess up on your own.

So, andrew,
What's it gonna be?
