Original subtitles

So, I hear you and Nick are in the horse racing business again.

Nick, did I hear that? Oh, no, I can't get a word in edgewise. Damn, he's too

busy on the phone with veterinarians, track officials, and trainers.

All about Mr. Woody.

Well, we've got great news.

Seems the vet who diagnosed him with a bow tendon was all wrong.

We went to two other vets, had him checked out. He's fine. He's ready to

And? And what?

Yeah, exactly.

It's the Antoine part.

You know, brother, you have a very suspicious mind.

Thank you. I'm a cop.

So now what's going on?

Look, Nick and I worked it out. It doesn't involve you, so you can just

Uh -huh.

So I'm not going to hear how it all went wrong at some later point.

Yes. Is that yes, I will, or yes, I will not?

I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer, man. How about a head nod?

Did that mean no, or did that mean... Will you just drive and let me live my

life? Well, it's your life, but it's my father.

Okay.

Nothing's going to happen. I guarantee it.

Feel better?

Worth it.

Oh, you're a police captain. You don't do purse snatching. Ah, it's because I

a police captain.

Just gonna break somebody's neck?

Yeah, hopefully you don't.

It's embarrassing if the captain doesn't catch the first snatcher.

We'll be right back.

Thank you.

the whole thing in case you need, you know, like a witness.

Maybe an antacid?

I need police protection.

Big place to live to lift things all over.

This thing all over, meaning the murder investigation or having the baby?

You can tell, huh?

I thought I camouflaged it pretty good.

When are you due?

I got another three weeks.

So I got this page.

and I went to use the phone right by the restaurant there.

I was in the park right across the street when these two valet guys pulled

and started shooting.

Describe them.

One was Curtis Prawn, and the other was Jerome Woodson, this guy who works for

him.

You knew them?

Everybody in the neighborhood knows about Prawn.

He's a big -time dealer.

Okay.

Tell us exactly what you saw.

Prawn and Jerome drove up in a black Navigator.

Curtis had two guns and Jerome had one.

Ron shot the one guy and then right away Jerome shot the other.

Bullets were flying everywhere.

Anything else?

We jumped in the black car and drove away.

That's it.

Okay. That's good, Zoe.

We may continue.

Good day.

So what do you think?

I think we got a couple of new players who want to add double rock to their

turf.

Well, Ballistic says there were three guns fired, two nines and a .45, which

means there had to have been at least two shooters. And we found the stolen

a Lincoln Navigator, abandoned in the sunset. So Zoe's store checked out, huh?

No, we're going to need something more than the word of a poor kid who's

pregnant out on the street.

What'd you get on the car?

Wide clean and run through a car wash for good measure.

All right, call Rick Rose and over and go.

See what you can find out about these guys, Curtis Prong and Jerome Woodson.

witness knew the players?

So she says.

What about the real valets? Well, they got a call from their supervisor, a guy

named Lenny Kurtz, and told him not to come to work that night.

Did Lenny say why?

Don't know yet. He hasn't been back to his apartment since yesterday.

We need that guy. I'll find him.

Slow down, I think. Slow down now. I didn't even know I don't know where I'm

going now. Slow down, boy. Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Slow down.

Oh, that's a good boy.

Look at his hair.

Oh, yeah.

Well,

Brother Bliss, Brother Bliss.

Yeah,

Brother Bliss, you're looking a little heavy there in your right -hand coat

pocket. Why don't you step on over here and let me help you with your nose.

And I'm over.

How do I get in there?

You know, it must take a lot of practice trying to see an eye dog to look like

he's not trained.

Oh, no, you got it all wrong. You see, old Hodges just got a case of ADD.

No, baby, you got a case of extreme BS.

Well, you know, just trying to make a living there. Yeah, well, now listen.

I'm going to tell you what.

You give us something useful, and we'll let you keep walking. Of course, we keep

the wallets. Well, okay, I'm all ears.

Curtis Prawn, where do we find him?

Prawn, Prawn.

I don't really know nobody by that name.

Well, your memory better kick into high gear, brother, because I'm starting to

think of another hood for you.

It's sponsored by the state.

Oh, that's wrong.

Yeah. Oh, yes.

Uh -huh. Yes. Oh, well, let me see what I can turn up. You better make it fast.

Patience is a virtue, but it ain't one of mine, brother.

You know where to find it.

Oh, yes.

Oh,

yes, I do.

Hello, Inspectors Leak and Cross, SFPD. Looking for Lenny Kurtz. Heard he was

staying here. Here?

You Lenny?

No, I'm his cousin, George.

Lenny took off, went to Mexico.

Sir. You know, you guys must be really close for you to be wearing his

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny!

My gosh, if every crook was as dumb as you, life would be so much easier.

Hey. Okay.

This is your set of keys.

Great. And this is John's number at his dorm, if you need to reach me.

Okay. And there was one other thing that I wanted to tell you.

Oh, I hate to say this, but I'm really glad your other roommate didn't work

Oh, my God.

She was such a freak.

You, you're like a dream roommate compared to her.

Really? Seriously, seriously.

Um... Oh, okay. I know what I'm forgetting in my French book.

Miranda?

Are you okay?

Here it is. It's... I'm fine. It's just... It's my first weekend alone with

John, so I'm nervous.

Well, I think it's really excellent that you found a boyfriend.

He's great.

Hey, in here.

You can just put that stuff over there.

Okay, great.

Perfect, guys. It's coming around, too.

Hey, Miranda.

Hey.

What's he doing here?

Oh, he's helping me move.

Yeah, we're friends.

We're trying to be friends.

More later. Get out of here. Go.

I'm out of here. Goodbye.

Wait a minute.

What did I want to tell you? We're going to leave.

Goodbye. Okay, bye.

Have a good weekend.

And don't you worry.

He'll tell me everything I need to know.

All right, talk.

And don't tell me you and Nick are going kosher.

I think you'd better stay out of this one, Nash, man. You know plausible

deniability there.

Denial is a short -term solution, Bubba. Now talk.

All right, Nick and I made a sizable donation to the Venice Best Halal Supper

Camp.

The what?

It's a Jewish summer camp. Kids go to the Talmud. They do archery, play

football. It's great.

Okay, fine.

What do you and Nick get out of this?

Well, tax write -off.

I'm sorry. You said something, but you have to speak up, you see.

A small tax write -off.

Nick has virtually no income. What write -off?

Well, technically, I get the write -off.

He sold Mr. Woody to me. I donated him to the summer camp. I get the write -off

and then give him a percentage of the cash back.

That's all there is to it. I think it's pretty smart.

Only pretty smart?

No.

I mean, you're defrauding the IRS and a religious organization?

Hell, it's brilliant.

Brother Bliss, if you put as much heart into going straight as you do into your

act, you'd be a rich man.

I am rich.

In experience.

So, uh, we alone?

Well, about as alone as you can be on a street corner in San Francisco.

Okay. There's about three houses up Arkansas on 20th Street. That's Jerome

Woodson's place.

That's the best I can do.

Well, then that's good enough.

There you go.

Thanks for both of you. On up.

We'll be seeing you, Brother Bliss.

That's the thing.

Now you're just trying to frame me. It's a problem. Please.

My client is not prepared to make any statement at this time.

Are you prepared to charge him or may we leave?

Respectfully, counselor, your client is going nowhere.

Except right over here where we got a nice little lineup for him to stand in.

For what purpose?

We had a shooting at the Washington Street Bar and Grill this morning. You

have heard about it. Ronnie, come on. Let's go.

Now, if you recognize anybody, just give us the number.

They can't see you, so you're safe.

I already told you who did it.

Why do I have to do this?

We need it for court, Zoe.

Look, you have six choices here. Which of these men, if any, did you see

the Washington Street Bar and Grill?

Um... Could you back up to number three?

Harvey, go back to number three.

Him.

Are you sure?

Be damn sure, Zoe.

Yeah, that's him.

Which one?

Prawn or Jerome?

What? That's Prawn.

Why are you treating me like this? I already told you exactly what I saw.

Because that's a cop.

An Oakland cop named Richie Evans.

He looks like Prawn.

How would you know?

You've never seen him, have you?

That's because you weren't there, were you?

No.

No, okay, no.

But my story's true.

Your story's true, but it's not your story.

I'll swear to it in court.

Have you heard of perjury? It's called lying in court. You can go to jail for

that.

Now, who told you the story that you told us?

This is about the baby, isn't it?

Zoe, do you know what you've done?

I'm going to have to turn a killer loose.

That's going to put your life, your baby's life, and the life of the real

witness at stake.

This is a temporary reprieve, Curtis.

Watch yourself, because I guarantee you I will be.

Next time you come after me, you won't be so lucky, hero.

Let me tell you something.

Luck's got nothing to do with it.

Hey, what's up?

Thanks for coming.

What's going on? What's the matter?

Well, you know those guys that help me move?

Well, I'm missing this pair of diamond earrings and my grandmother's silver

necklace, and I just... The stuff?

Yes.

Where'd you find it?

It must have fallen out of one of the boxes.

You know what? I feel like such an idiot now. I concocted this whole thing in my

brain, and I'm sorry.

Here.

Don't even worry about it.

Okay. I mean, those kids, they look tough, but they're actually real,

real sweet.

Hello?

Do you have any idea what a lame case of arrested development you are?

What was that all about?

Prank caller.

Second one today.

Listen, I should get going.

Well, you know what? I wanted to buy you a pizza.

You know, to thank you.

You really don't have to do that.

But I want to.

So I'll call you?

Okay. Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Talk to you soon.

Okay.

Dude, you're part of the accident. Should I call her again?

Leave her alone.

She is so much hotter than Miranda.

You know what? Buying you pizza really means a lot, don't you? You guys wish.

R .B.

Haight -Ashbury Teen Center. Zoe's been taking some meals there.

Everyone works there.

All the better. Take Caitlin. Find out who she's been hanging with. On it.

Now. Hey, Paige.

I thought you left social services. I did. I went to work for a brokerage firm

for about six months and decided the money wasn't working. So, I'm back.

Well, good for you. And welcome back. Thank you. Glad to be back.

This Zoe Carroll case is interesting.

Well, I think it just got more interesting with you on it.

God, I almost forgot. Easily, you make me smile.

Ditto.

Oh, you remember Joe, don't you? Hey, Pete. You back at social services? Yeah.

Oh.

So, um, you seeing anybody?

Uh, no. I'm a free agent.

Oh. Is this agent free tonight?

Need to catch up?

I just happen to be available.

Sounds great.

How about MC Square today?

Perfect. Oh, good.

See you then. Okay.

So, I guess the morning period is officially over.

I think Kate and I are going to freak out.

Joe, this is not high school, and we're not high school kids.

How's she going to find out?

Harvey, what's happening, man?

What's up, bro?

Hey,

Evan, how are you? Nice cross. How are you today?

Good.

Did you guys stop by for lunch by any chance? No.

Hey, bud, it's about a case that we're working on. Do you know this girl named

Zoe Karros?

Yeah, yeah, she comes in here every once in a while. We think one of her best

friends was the key eyewitness in the Washington Street bar and grill

Really? Which one?

Well, we're not sure. That's why we need your help.

Yeah, I guess I could ask around, you know, see if anybody knows anything.

Great, buddy. Thanks a lot. Listen, this needs to be on the extreme QT, okay?

Because whoever the friend is, she might be a target.

I got it.

Take care.

Yeah. You're doing a good job.

Thanks.

We've got something we need to tell you.

Please.

No, you go first.

Fine. This is very simple.

Your nag is defective.

Pardon me?

We learned that Mr. Woody has a history.

A bad history. We now know that Mr.

Woody stops short.

He races and then stops.

He just plain stops.

I guess you...

Forgot to mention that.

So what you're going to do is take the horse back.

Fine. We'd be glad to.

Just tell us when and where to pick him up.

As soon as we get our $25 ,000 back in expenses, then we'll arrange to have Mr.

Woody shipped back from Florida.

What's my horse doing in Florida?

Well, what did you think we were going to do for that kind of tax write -off?

You were going to raise him?

the idea is that?

It was you who valued him at $300 ,000. So, we shipped him to Hialeah to run a

few races.

You'll pay us for our expenses, and we won't report you to the IRS.

Hey, no one told you to race him.

We know a shakedown when we see one.

You, gentlemen, can leave.

I hope you are taking us very seriously.

Hey, listen.

I'm a cop, so you better take me very seriously. Get out of my face before I

arrest you. Fine.

Fine. We'll let the lawyers do our fighting.

Fine.

Happy trails.

What about Horace and Lamar?

They're not gonna stand up to you.

No way, man.

They got the message.

Unless they didn't.

Unless they want revenge.

Now you gonna sit there and try to find out which way they go?

Man, get up off your ass.

bring our adventures rollerblading in Golden Gate Park.

Is it too late for apologies?

No, no, no, no. It's never too late.

I'll drink to that.

Cheers.

This place is impossible to get into unless you know somebody.

I got the very last table of the early seating.

Bernard, party of two.

Well, party of one.

Plus an angel.

What? Uh, nothing.

Um, is this your only table?

Yes, ma 'am. It's one of our very best tables. I requested it.

Oh. Well, it'll be fine.

Hi. Hi.

Small world.

Yeah, or a small restaurant.

Paige, this is Caitlin Cross.

We work together.

Hi, nice to meet you.

You too.

Hi, Ken Bernard.

Hello, Ken. How are you?

Good. Paige, Ken.

Hi.

Hi.

Crab cake?

No. No, thanks. We'll get our own.

Oh, tell me about this recent breakup. Did she dump you or did you dump her?

It was mutual.

Was she a bitch? A princess? What?

No, she was a very nice lady.

Oh, thank you. So, why don't you tell me about your startup company?

Oh, sure.

Basically, it's a company that services document subscriber databases.

We're third in market share and rising.

And if all goes as planned this fall, we'll be launching an IPO next fall.

Wow, that is really exciting.

You know, I call it dot -com sighting.

Excuse me a second. I forgot. I have to make a phone call. It'll just take a

minute. I'll be right back.

I'm sorry. I have to go to ladies' room.

Hi.

This is kind of weird.

I'll say. I was wondering if maybe we could go someplace else.

What?

Go someplace else.

We're here first.

We're about to order.

I'm on a first date.

last one to me, sister.

You know what?

He happens to be brilliant and he's very successful.

You don't have to convince me.

I don't know how you did this, but you did this on purpose.

Yeah, right.

I came here for dinner. How was I supposed to know you were going to come

You know what?

I am not going to forget this. My plate coming through.

I know you told me you'd talk.

All right, set up a meet between you and me and Nick and them.

You want to get in the middle of this? Damn right I do.

Nash!

I'm here with what's left of the double rock crew, boss.

Unfortunately, there ain't much left of what's left. The poor bastards were

pretty well aerated.

All right, if Ron wants to go to war, we'll go to war.

Get the bus. Let's turn the heat up on this bastard.

Come drink to the seven dials and steal the pillow.

The Magical Mystery Tour, a rousing success.

Beautiful. All right, here's what you do. Take your faces down to DSIU for

processing and then go take down Braun in person.

That would be my singular pleasure.

Harvey, watch out.

He's going to be pissed.

Didn't you used to be Curtis Prawn?

Oh, delicious.

Come down here to threaten me?

Come on.

What do you think of that?

You think you heroes are going to dismantle me by busting up on my boys?

now. I could always get more boys, but you?

You're nowhere.

You're nothing.

You're just wasting your time.

You know, I'd love to discuss that further with you, but you're not going

able to stay.

This is an order from the city to cease and desist all business. Effective

immediately. Pending investigation of several reported fire hazards at this

establishment. Business may resume when all departments are fully satisfied and

an occupancy permit is reissued. You got any questions?

Okay, then, Ronnie.

Let's remove the garbage. Let's go.

Everybody out.

You guys seen Vicky around?

from the teen center.

Why are you so scared?

What do you want?

You saw that shooting the other day, didn't you? I didn't see anything.

Come on, Vicki.

Zoe needs your help and so do the cops.

No.

What, you think you can keep it to yourself?

I mean, if I found out about it, what makes you think that Perron's not going

find out about it? I don't want to be involved.

I already made that choice.

Him. Curtis Prawn.

This was the other one.

Caitlin. I'll get the warrant.

Zoe's in protective custody.

I'm putting you with her so we can get this guy behind bars, okay?

Okay. All right.

I'll go with Ronnie. He'll give you all the predictions.

of all, thank you all for coming.

You're listening.

Well, Nick and Joe will reimburse you the $25 ,000 that you're out of pocket.

What?

You're joking.

How are we going to come up with that kind of cash?

Hillel and Moshe, you will sign Mr. Woody back over to Joe and Nick.

You will legitimately sell him this time and pay back the $25 ,000 out of the

proceeds.

We can live with that.

So, Mr. Woody, I can't do that.

Hell, you gave him away yesterday.

Today, I changed my mind.

I'm allowed, aren't I?

No.

You and Joe got into this mess, and this is the only way out.

Consider it a lesson learned.

That's it.

Yeah. Yeah, you.

Don't look.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Get in the car.

S .I .U., Inspector Lee.

Hold on.

Harvey? Yeah?

Whatever he wants, don't give it to him.

This man used to work with you, right?

A friend from the teen center here tells me he found you a witness.

Quint.

Have you got any idea what happens to people who kill cops? Don't even think

about it.

You bring the girl to the Sutro Baths in one hour or else we gonna find out.

Is that clear?

No. He lives or you don't. Is that clear?

Sutro Baths, one hour, yes or no?

No.

Prawn's got Evan.

Damn it.

They make contact with you yet?

Yeah. He wants to swap Evan for the girl.

What'd you tell him?

I told him no.

Atta boy.

Hard thing to do, but protocol, Bubba.

All right, here's what you do.

Round up those bozos of his and get them into interrogation.

Play them all off of each other. One of them's got to know where Prawn's got

Evan's dad.

All right. What if they don't crack?

You throw a life vest to a bunch of drowning morons, they'll give up their

mother. Yeah, I hope so.

All right.

I'm going to make this short and sweet.

Any one of you tells me where I can find Curtis Vaughn, you can all walk out of

here free and clear.

Every stinking one of you, but that's a one -time offer.

Okay, show of hands, who wants to go home? Right now. Put your hands up if

want to go home.

Okay, anybody who doesn't want to tell me where Curtis is, you go ahead and

lower your hand.

Ladies and gents, you're a lot smarter than anybody gives you credit for. You,

need an address.

I don't get it.

You don't get it because there's nothing to get.

He wouldn't let you die.

You don't understand. It's not in your hands.

It's in God's.

I wouldn't let you die.

Well, that's you.

There's something more going on here.

Your little cop friend's got a plan.

I'm gonna figure it out.

You pull that trigger, Curtis, he'll be dead before he is.

JP! Cheetos!

Hey!

Nobody here.

Not your guys, anyway.

Just mine.

You got two options, Curtis.

You can either walk out of here, or we can drag your ass out of the body bag.

Your choice, man.

You make it quick, Curtis.

You hear that?

What? It's quiet.

When was the last time it was quiet in the FIU?

Uh, never.

Nash. Oh, my Hasidic father.

I was just over at the sports bar on 4th.

Why?

Mr. Woody ran at Hialeah today.

Nick, I thought we'd resolved all this thing about Mr. Woody. Weren't they

supposed to be shipping him back?

Well, the entry fee was non -refundable, so we decided to race him.

When are you going to learn your lesson?

As soon as the damn horse stops winning.

What?

What? He took first and the fifth.

We're sharing a $100 ,000 purse with Moishe. Give me a high five.

I'll meet you later. I got to run.

You stood me up.

Oh, my God, what happened to your face?

Oh, look, it's no big deal. I was doing some work with the SIU, and, I

mean, everything's cool now.

So you want to be a cop again?

After today, I'm not so sure.

Oh, Evan.

Boy, you smell good.

Maybe we should stop it.

No.

It's okay.

I want to.

Yes, it's pizza time!

Cassidy, don't do it. He's just going to use you. Doesn't she remember what

happened before?

God, what is going on here?

Your website rocks.

Beautiful Cassidy, I missed you.

I missed the smell of you.

Oh, wow, the taste.

Captain Bridges, SIU.

Hi, it's Miranda. I need Cassidy's cell phone number. It's an emergency.

What kind of emergency, Miranda?

I can't tell you, okay? Just give me the number.

Miranda!

Okay, call Cassidy right away. Just immediately tell her to stop whatever it

that she's doing.

Miranda, you cannot call here and tell me that there's an emergency and not

me what it is.

You know what?

Go online and check out my website. It's mirandacam .com. Just don't say that I

didn't warn you, okay?

No wonder the internet craze is exploding.

Pick up, Cassidy.

Someone must really want to talk to you. Damn it, pick up, Cassidy.

Cassidy, are you going to answer it? No.

I'll just let Craig call her again anyway.

Wait, Cassidy.

No!

Cassidy, please.

Hello?

Cassidy, this is your daddy. Daddy, this really isn't a good time.

You don't know the half of it.

Look up into the right -hand corner. Do you see that little red light that's on?

What?

You're on a video camera, babe.

Yep, you're online.

Yes!

Zoe's upstairs in holding.

Her water just broke.

Well, of course!

I delivered a baby once.

Harvey, call 911.

You come with me. You probably have twins when she sees you.
