Original subtitles

Oh, God, I need some air.

Put your head above windshield.

It's very funny.

You don't know what's in here. You don't have to pay for it.

I'm thinking maybe you should have gotten that inspection before you bought

house. I don't know. It's supposed to be perfect.

I mean, it looked perfect.

So did the lens on the Hubble telescope.

All right, so you screwed yourself. What are you going to do?

Believe me, I got my nephew all over this, man.

The little old sweet Swedish con artist sold me the house.

I'm not going to know what hit her.

Swedish, huh?

Yeah, I know.

So anyways, how's Cassidy?

She is on a patrol gig out in Seacliff.

Bored stiff, thank you very much.

What's she going to say when she finds out you set it up?

How's she going to find out?

I don't know. Let's ask her.

I got to say, they sure have improved the patrol uniforms.

Uh, excuse me. Hello.

Dad, I'm busy.

I can see that.

Dad, get out of here. You're going to blow this for me.

Oh, I'll be glad to leave. Take it as soon as you tell me what the hell you're

doing here, who put you up to it, and why I wasn't told. Dad, I'm not going to

get into this with you right now. They're expecting me, okay? Who?

Over there. Burgundy car. Two o 'clock.

What are you saying? You saying my money's not good enough? I told you I'm

already busy. Go to 11th Street. Lots of action out there. All right, fine. Beat

it.

Oh, uh, what now?

The department's always recruiting fresh faces to work piece of body dust.

National should know that.

They should have called me.

So, Gordon, do you think she'll check with you every time she gets an

assignment?

Okay.

Well, that's it. We have two choices. We can turn around and walk out, number

one.

Hit me with number two.

Number two, we can just sit here quietly and watch as long as your partner's not

going to get involved.

Okay.

I think I can live with number two.

Everybody down.

Dude, come on.

Cassidy, stay down.

Freeze.

Hold it.

Whoa, babe.

Hey, no, no. I'm a cop. I'm a cop.

Show me how smart you are. Joe, I got him.

All right, pick it up slowly.

This your by bus? Yeah. Who's the shooter? I don't know.

This is your by bus? You don't know who the shooter is? Oh, nice.

Cassidy, check the DBs.

Cassidy, do as I say, will you? Dad, I know these guys. Can I at least make it

to the door?

All right, you come to the door and you watch for whoever comes out.

That shooter had to be on the roof.

Must be six ways out of here. Well, let's take the best two.

All right, I'll go left. Go.

Oh, he's running!

Cassidy? Okay. Okay.

You know, that's really good, but he had this scar going across his eyebrow. It

was kind of at an angle. It kind of looked like a cut.

She was very lucky, man.

Yeah, I know. But she knows what the guy looks like now. I mean, what if he

comes back?

How about we find him first? What have we got?

Well, I haven't priced diamonds in a little while, but these have got to be

worth... Depending on the four Cs, I'm going to say north of a quarter of a

million. Okay, the buyers, they were all well -known to the fencing detail, but

the guy with the diamonds, he's always of a different color. Joseph Taylor, a

South African on a tourist visa. Chief chemist with the Stellenbach Diamond

Company in Johannesburg. No local address, but I did find this in his

Helen Richards, Golden Gate Realty. Check out the back.

She's got a 3 p .m. appointment with her. I got a call in to her voicemail. I

found these up on the roof.

Check them out.

That's it.

That's all we found.

Two cleaned up after them, so pretty good.

No heads, no markings. This guy's a pro.

Babcock, call Bobby Keel over at FBI. Have him check those casings.

Harvey, run down those rocks. On it, boss.

All right, Inspector McCabe, tell me about this gig.

I got a tip that somebody was moving stones. We set up on the fence.

A guy named Detone. That's the guy that got away.

That's it.

Okay, well, it's an SIU gig now.

If you want a piece of it, you're working for me.

I'll have to clear that with Deputy Chief Pettit.

No, you won't.

I will.

Now, do you want in or not?

We're in.

Okay, you two find Detone.

We'll stay with the Diamonds.

So, we need to talk, huh? You bet we do.

Max, the hell are you doing playing Twister with my daughter?

Oh, now look, Nash. Hold on.

If you've got baggage with me, don't unpack it with my daughter.

You put her undercover on this fence gig before she was ready.

Nobody could have foreseen what happened this morning.

I could have.

You trying to tell me how to do my job?

60 recruits graduated.

Why her?

Because I needed somebody.

And I thought your daughter would be up to it.

But if you're telling me she isn't,

well, I can reassign her.

It's not a problem.

So, Joe.

Joe Cases?

Manufactured in South Africa.

Got a call on Johannesburg PD for some help on the hitman.

Good, good. Way to go.

Also, this may be a coincidence or not, but there's a dude by the name of Dirk

Vandegos. Works for the Stellenbach Diamond Company. Just moved to the city.

Stellenbach. That was the company our dead guy worked for, yeah? Right, right.

Vandergoes runs a North American wholesaling business.

His office number in case you and Nash want to talk to him.

Good. Just fine. Thanks.

Hey, Joe.

Yeah? Come here, man. Look at this with me.

What's up? Check this out.

I borrowed this diamond from your buddy Saul down at the diamond market.

You notice the flaw?

Yeah. Each diamond has its own unique flaw.

Unique. Exactly.

I put a couple of diamonds from this morning's loot under this scope.

Check out the plot.

Exactly the same.

Yeah, exactly.

Huh, so how's that possible? They're synthetic.

Are they fake? No, they're not fake. They're real, but they're man -made. The

provocative thing is they're undetectable from Mother Nature's,

one of these gizmos.

So maybe our shooter worked for the diamond cartel. I mean, they wouldn't be

happy if these puppies flooded the market, would they? That's what I'm

Harvey. What?

We got a meeting with the real estate lady. Let's roll.

Fine.

Anything cool?

Not love at first sight, but it's cool.

You know what? If I was detoned, I would be long gone.

I guess it's a good thing for us you're not detoned.

Yeah.

You know, by the way, if you want out of this, now's the time. I mean, if you

want to go back to patrol.

Just say the word.

Why would I want out when I got us in?

Because I really don't feel like doing all the work on this gig and have your

dad get the credit. That's why.

And I don't know if you want to get in the middle of that or not. I'm just

telling you.

Look, the last thing my dad wants or needs is to take any credit from you.

Let me tell you something. The last thing you want or need is to get into it

with him. Really?

Really. Really.

Hey, Bokeem, I don't know what else to do. Why don't we try it this way?

When we find Detone, and you know that we will, we're going to make sure that

knows you put us on to him.

How's that sound?

Look, girl, don't be coming in my face with all that, because I will take you

out with a snap.

Now, I don't know nobody named Detone, and I ain't going to tell you nothing

about nobody named Detone. You dig?

Now, scram, kitty cat.

Hey,

what you doing, bitch?

Hey.

She's crazy. She's crazy.

She's crazy.

Rachel Keys.

All right, Bill King.

You got about one second. Let me know when he's going to. One second.

That's right, woman, not bitch, not kitty cat. Now, where is Detone?

Read him, honey.

She is reading him.

He plays ball up at Parker Elm.

But you didn't hear that from me.

Captain Bridges.

Hey, we got a lead on Detone.

Good, who's this?

Inspector McCabe, you know, from this morning.

Oh, hi, Rachel.

How's my daughter?

Still alive.

That's good. She better stay that way.

Yeah, she's got that Bridges touch.

Uh, you want to expound on that?

I don't know. Maybe later.

All right, you find Detone.

I want to hear from you. Got it?

He's charming. Oh, yeah. He grows on you.

One million dollars or you'll never see your wife again.

Wine. Not wife. Wine.

Oh, excuse me. Yeah, wine.

Um...

This will explain. May I?

Oh, certainly.

That is a $7 ,000 bottle of wine.

I'm going to shoot one bottle a day until we get our million dollars.

How can I help you?

I will pay you your daily rate plus a $10 ,000 bonus if you get my wine back

before he kills another bottle.

Um, sure. Why don't you sit down and start from the beginning?

Victor Hyde.

He's my store manager.

He's the culprit.

Bastard thinks he knows more about wine than me.

He is dishonest, diabolical, and uncreditworthy.

He has taken my wine to put me out of business and bankroll his own shop.

Why don't you just go to the cops?

Mr. Dominguez, I sell her wine for some of the city's headiest, headiest

citizens. If they had an inkling their wine was in jeopardy, I would be ruined.

I see.

I think I can help you.

What do you know about wine?

How the hell are you going to pull that off?

Simple. All I gotta do is hang around the store till Victor leads me to the

stash. So easy Boz can do it.

Maybe you ought to let Boz do it.

Are you kidding?

I got a house that I don't want and a legal bill to go with it. I'll take the

ten grand, thank you very much.

Excuse me, Captain.

The gentleman you've been looking for is seated at table one.

Thank you, Lon.

Dirk Vandergold.

Captain Bridget.

Inspector Dominguez. That's the PD.

Now would be a good time for you gentlemen to go to the men's room.

Give us five minutes. Thank you.

I do have an offer, gentlemen.

Yes, we know. They told us you were here.

What's so pressing?

Toth of Taylor, your chief chemist, was murdered this morning.

I'm sorry, but he left my company two years ago.

Any idea who might want to see him dead?

I hardly knew him. We weren't on the same level in the corporation.

Know anything about these?

Strangely enough, they're synthetic.

Amazing, huh?

But now this baby here?

That one's real.

I wonder if you could tell these apart.

Do you think you could tell them apart?

Synthetics are of no value to anyone, no matter how good.

Joseph Taylor's death wasn't because synthetics aren't valuable, no matter

hard you try to sell it.

Look, I've been polite and helpful.

Now you've insulted me.

I can have my sincere apologies, but I'm still going to get you.

I am so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

I've been in Napa all day.

There's a winery for sale up there, and I have a client, and he fell in love

with it. Not a problem. The two guys that you ran into the place to? Yeah,

we get inside? Oh, yeah, sorry.

They were two charming young men. I don't know why they haven't been able to

make a go of this place.

Hello.

Hello, why don't you hang back a little bit? We'll check it out, okay?

But I just want to see if it's... No, no, no, it's all right.

We'll be right back.

I don't think they were cooking food in here.

Two charming young men.

Everybody says, man, the restaurant business is murder.

where they were picking up the diamonds. Yeah, and you gotta assume these guys

were cutting edge. Some very high -tech toys in here.

Same type of shells we recovered from the other shoot.

So when were they hit?

Not sure. Bodies are in the freezer.

Retards decomposition.

What I'm thinking is the shooter wanted to hit everybody here.

Only everybody wasn't here when he hit. Joe, found these passports in the

office.

South Africa.

Somebody we know?

The other guy from the bar this morning.

Rick Hamilton.

Find him.

What's that?

It's a wine book.

Partridge wants me to do some wine tasting, so I've got to know my stuff.

For instance, you know why you swirl the wine around in a glass before you drink

it? I thought it was to stir up the esters, so you get a better bouquet.

How'd you know that?

I've been known to enjoy a bottle of wine or two.

No, no, I mean esters. I mean, nobody knows esters.

What time is your wine tasting?

Tonight.

You better keep reading.

Nash. Found Hamilton.

Where? That little motor ran off bay. Rick Randolph on the registration

but the clown used his real name on the credit card.

We're bringing him in.

Excellent. Let me know what he has to say for himself.

Yeah.

Safe deposit box, Keith. What you have in the bank there, Rick?

All your friends are dead, man.

You would be too if Captain Bridges hadn't stumbled into Paragon yesterday.

So why don't you tell us what's going on?

Because you can't protect me.

We think we can, Rick.

Look, you want to help me?

Give me back my diamonds. Let me buy my way out.

Rick, you know we can't do that.

Last chance.

What are you guys up to?

I'm not talking.

Ronnie, pack them up.

Let's go.

What's up?

We're looking for Detone. You know where he's at?

Yeah, I know where he's at.

What's wrong with me, baby?

Me?

I'm the one he laid his tired rap on Wednesday night.

I'll hang out with you.

Whatever. Why don't you boys just tell us where the lying dog ass is, huh?

Speak of the devil.

You know what you do, Detone? Yeah, man.

These chicks are cops.

Hey, back it up.

Back your asses up. Come on.

Get up.

On your knees.

Get up.

Come on, man.

Let's go.

Honey,

you want some more coffee? Oh, no, thank you, darling.

I had my contractor do an inspection, and, oh, Gertrude, this is very serious.

Mush. The entire foundation is filled with it.

This whole thing needs to be gutted. But I did tell you the house was as is.

Well, yes, but the law in the state of California is you must disclose all

defects in writing at the time of the sale, even on an as -is sale.

Who are you again?

The Dominguez's lawyer.

Lawyer? Yes.

And we'd hate to see this have to go to court, wouldn't we?

where this is going.

You invite me over here for coffee and then you sandbag me.

Gertrude, please.

Don't you know you never ever make a deal sight unseen?

Wait a minute.

You knew all this?

I didn't just fall off a turnip truck.

I made you an offer that was too good to be true and he was too greedy to pass

it up.

I bet you were even sorry for the old lady, weren't you?

Mrs. Jorgensen, Mrs. Jorgensen, we're getting off track here. Don't you screw

with me, young man. Your clients were chumps, and now they are

poor losers.

You want to play the litigation game?

Two can play at that game.

Tell you what, I know a former Mossad agent. He can torch it for you.

Joseph? Yeah?

Buddy, we're going to need some leverage to get Hamilton to open his trap.

Yeah, we'll take it like Detone.

Rachel and Cassidy just picked him up. I haven't bounced up here.

I'm checking on your friend Vandergost. Seems he did a thing with the South

African secret police.

No friend of mine.

Yeah, mine either.

He was suspected in several political killings in Johannesburg, but never

indicted. Lack of evidence.

Really? Well, maybe we'll get some on him here, eh? Yeah, let's do that.

You know, Joe, it is a delight to finally have somebody working here who

wine.

Unlike some people.

Well, it's just a language that you have to master.

Victor, I need your expertise on this little job.

After you taste the wine, you're supposed to spit it into the bucket.

That's why it's $3 a bottle. I don't see anybody else spitting into the bucket,

Denny. I know why you're not a spitter.

It's because you're not really a wine expert, are you?

Tell you what, Denny, why don't you go back to work and maybe clean up the

glasses, okay?

So you want to know who did it?

Did what?

Admit that you're a plant first.

How about I plant you?

All right, all right, you mean drunk.

It's not Victor.

Archer dripped himself off.

What? Why?

Financial problems.

It's actually a beautiful scheme.

He hires you to pin the rap on Victor, then he collects the insurance money on

the stolen wine, sells the same wine to one of his Asian collectors.

He's been paid twice, financial problem solved.

You know what?

I don't believe it.

Well, if you'd start spitting and clear your head, maybe it'd become clear to

you.

He is your guy.

I just want to talk to him.

I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet. You have no right to reroute him

here.

You were supposed to call me when you picked him up.

I called you before I picked him up.

Well, now that's not the same thing, is it?

Oh, all right. Well, I just found out that you picked up Hamilton. You didn't

call me.

Did you check your messages?

That wouldn't be your first mistake now, would it?

Now we're going to play a little game here.

My client will not participate in this kangaroo court.

We're not in court.

It's a game. That's what I just said. Didn't you hear me?

All right, here's how the game is played.

First one to ring the bell gets to talk and then gets to walk.

Well, see, that's the interesting part of the game.

Cassidy, get out!

We got truck fire!

Ronnie,

you see anything?

Not right now.

He's gone.

Get some people over there. I want this guy.

You all right?

Nothing's clear, Captain.

I cannot believe he got past you.

Wrap it up over there.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It had to be the shooter from Paragon, right? I mean, I can ID him. That's why

he's shooting at me, right?

What do you think?

That's what I think.

Looks like we're on the same page, then.

Hamilton got shot in the ear, but he's not talking.

We got nothing.

I wouldn't say that.

We got this.

Cassidy.

Give us a minute.

I'll meet you at the car.

What?

If she asks you to do anything or puts you in a situation that's even remotely

dangerous, you stay out of it. You hear me?

And I want to hear from you.

Is this what you tell everyone before they go out? I mean, is this how you

to Harvey?

You're not Harvey.

Dad, this is a dangerous job.

You bet your ass it is. What do you want me to do? I'm supposed to be a cop, but

not really?

Cassie. Dad, do not treat me like a little girl. I'm here. I made this

okay? Don't make me regret it.

I just might go do it somewhere else.

The agreement clearly states that my client was selling her property as is at

price significantly below market value.

However, there is a disclosure law in California. I'm well aware of the law.

But disclosure requires prior knowledge. And my client didn't know her house had

problems. Really?

Because I have here a sworn affidavit from your client's contractor, stating

advised her four months ago she had severe dry rot and termite damage, which

could lead to catastrophic structural failure, if not corrected.

So what do you want?

That's what we don't want. We don't want the house.

Damages?

Medical. And they'd like to be reimbursed for out -of -pocket expenses,

they paid to their contractor.

It's all here.

We just need her signature.

Okay, this is fine.

But first, I'll need that signature.

Forfeiture of right to litigate.

Then we're agreed.

Just sign this.

And she'll sign the purchase annulment.

Okay.

Gertrude, we'll need your signature here and here.

And then you can get on with your life.

Gertie?

Hold on, come on. Come on, Gertrude. Come on. Come on, breathe. Don't, don't,

don't. She didn't sign it.

She's dead?

Oh, yeah.

Like, and not living anymore. That kind of dead.

Oh, man, that's tragic.

Tragic doesn't even begin to cover above her.

G -E -R.

That's all she wrote on the purchase annulment. G -E -R.

I was 14 letters away from getting out of this mess.

I can't believe it. This house is going to break me emotionally and financially.

Well, don't worry about it too much, Joe. You're the luckiest man I ever met.

Something will work out.

There's a double signature provision on this box, meaning both parties need to

be present to open it.

According to this, they were last in here eight days ago.

Rick Hamilton and Joseph Taylor.

We're going to need the box.

Gross best friend.

Not

once,

but twice, you failed to finish this job.

You brought the cops down on me.

You shot up a police station.

This thing's losing over.

I'll finish it. Nah.

I'll finish it.

You're going home.

I booked you on the overnight Joburg flight.

All right. You want to know what's going on?

Well, I think I have a pretty good idea.

Why don't you tell me and we'll just see how close I was.

I think there are more diamonds where those came from.

A lot more. So I think that Vandergoes hired the hitman not only to put an end

to this, but to send a message to anyone else that might try and introduce

synthetics into the market.

Go on.

I think that Hamilton went to Detone to fence the stone so he could get the cash

and get the hell out of town.

And I think that if we can prove Vandergoes hired the hitman, we all go

Very good.

The question is how.

I'm working on that.

In the meantime, why don't you and Cassidy keep an eye on Vandergoes?

So, in other words, I'm off to Siberia.

Rachel, do not make this a personal issue, because I'm not.

I just need you to do the work.

Okay?

Fine. Rachel.

Yeah?

How long have you been a cop?

Six years. Why?

And what'd you do before that?

Why?

Just curious.

I was in the healthcare profession.

You're being vague.

You noticed.

Just keep an eye on Vandercoast for me, all right? Just for a little while

longer. Okay.

If this doesn't work, I don't want to be asked tomorrow when my dad finds out.

Well, by then it won't matter. I mean, this will all be over and we'll have the

caller.

Hey, okay.

Here we go.

Excuse me, Mr. Vandegos.

Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but we've identified a suspect in the

shooting of Joseph Taylor.

I told Captain Bridges and I'm telling you. I barely knew Joseph Taylor. I

need any more details about this investigation.

Please, in Johannesburg, let us know that the suspect is a professional

assassin. We think he might be the next target.

What, because I'm a South African?

I don't think so.

Good night.

Please don't bother me again.

So you think he fell for it?

What kind do you think?

City Hall, how may I direct a call? Mayor's office, please. This is Mr.

Phanagos.

Uh, Rick?

He's not calling the hitman.

Hello, Mayor. This is Doug Phanagos.

Yes, we met at the Presidio meeting last week.

Sure, they can hold up on that OPG. What do we got?

Yesterday a hitman, today a victim.

Look, Ma, but no Hans.

Hans Derbrugel, that is.

Another South African.

What happened to him? Bagged and tagged. Street sweeper found him this morning.

Hans was in the front seat and somebody garroted him from the back seat.

Well, looks like somebody lost patience with our shooting.

Nash.

Nash, listen, I just found our sniper.

Garrett, in effect, must have left him with a heck of a sore throat. Car's

clean. Whoever did it was very careful.

I guess you don't want to cross, Mr. Vandergoes.

Yeah, you thinking he whacked his own guy? Because I do.

Yes, I do.

I think he's pissed off about this situation spinning out of control on

You want me to shake his tree?

No, I want you to go and have a come -to -Jesus meeting with Hamilton.

We get him aboard, and we can offer Vandergoes a way out.

Got it on it.

What's up with you?

I'm just trying to sort out this wine gig.

Oh, yeah?

The owner thinks the manager did it. The manager hates the owner.

This dog boy, he's a self -proclaimed wine connoisseur, thinks the owner is

ripping himself off to collect the insurance. It's a nightmare.

What's your gut say?

This dog boy did it. I just got to figure out how and why.

Remember that story in the Bible about King Solomon?

You know, about the two women that go to the king claiming that a child is

there? The king says, cut the kid in two and each of you take half.

And the point is?

Well, the point is that one woman says, no, don't do it, let her have the kid.

And the point of that is?

Come on, you know this story.

The real mother would rather see the kid go to the other woman than to see it

cut in two. Just like a real wine connoisseur couldn't blow up a $7 ,000

of wine.

It would offend his talent, not to mention his passion.

Well, I see.

Find out which of the three guys is capable of doing what I saw in the video

got you kidnapped.

Bubba, you're a wise man.

My client has nothing new to share with you, and I'm about two plucked hairs

away from filing a harassment suit.

Whatever blows your skirt up. Guess what, Rick? The guy who tried to

you, now he's dead.

Garrett did in his car.

Yeah, but you don't have to think too hard to figure out who's responsible for

that, huh?

You think these scare tactics are going to work?

Anyway, Rick, you get your wish, bud. Those are yours. Take them.

Very small world out there, Rick.

Those ought to light it up pretty good for you. Oh, yeah, make it real easy to

find.

Okay. Don't.

All right, I'll cooperate.

What do you want me to do?

Either you didn't get the message or you're more stupid than I thought.

Well, I'm just stupid enough to surprise you, Dirk.

Look around you. What do you see?

Buildings, the city.

What?

Money.

You know, I've been a cop for 25 years in this city.

25 years ago, you could afford to live in this city on a cop's salary.

No more.

You want money?

One million U .S. cash, and all your problems go away.

You want a lot of money.

You've got a lot of problems.

Think about it.

You get me off your back, and if anything should ever happen to Hamilton,

this case is very, very difficult to solve now, couldn't it?

I won't say it again. In fact, I don't even remember saying it.

Call me.

What's wrong?

My back hurt.

Victor, catch it!

Oh, thank goodness.

Let me give you a hand with that.

Winehouse, Rudy Partridge.

Did you get the money?

Uh, yeah.

Drive to Pier 39. I'll call you back in an hour.

God, he sounds furious.

Yeah, well, I always do.

You better count it.

I better not need to count it.

Second column down on the left.

Room 19.

When you finish the business, tell out of my town.

This is Rudy Partridge. Have your stock boy take the money and walk to the candy

store at the end of the pier. Three minutes.

When do I get my wine? When I get my money.

Candy store, far end of the pier. He wants Denny to make the drop.

All right, Denny, you're up.

Why should I do this? I'm not doing this.

Look, all you have to do is hand the guy this box. That's it.

You're right.

I know what happens in these kind of situations.

It's always the guy who delivers the money who ends up dead. Denny, you do

I'll promote you to the cash register.

Oh, joy.

Come on, come on.

All right.

All right.

Keeps up.

Man, how'd you know?

You're the only guy that didn't rush to save the falling wine bottle.

What? The wisdom of sorrow.

Come on, let's go.

I understand that, but I had no choice.

That's right.

A million dollars now, tens of millions later, which we would have come to if we

didn't stop this.

Yeah, I'm there now.

Two minutes, it'll be over.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

Dead man walking, Harv. Roger that. Okay.

Move the cheese, boys.

Don't move!

Don't move! Hands in the air!

Hey, jerk!

What happened?

You missed.

It's gonna cut.

Antoine, get him out of here.

Lookie what I found on my desk.

What?

Damn well what?

Freshly minted transfers to the SIU for you two.

What? I want to hear it from her.

Oh, well, uh, okay, yeah, I mean, it's just that, uh, why would you want to

anywhere else when she'd work for the best?

So it wouldn't have anything to do with the warrant to place a wiretap on Dirk

Vandergoe's house.

It's got the mayor on the warpath, right?

That you two pulled without my knowledge?

That wouldn't be trying to cover your asses, would it? Oh, of course not.

Cassie and I have had a really exciting time working with you. Yeah, this is way

better than working with you, Clay.

What does it remind me of the time you threw the pogo stick through Mrs.

Miller's clay glass window?

Dad, I was nine.

Yeah, but you have the same look on your face.

No, I don't. Uh -huh.

I'm going to work at the FIU.

You earn it, like everybody else.

It's not going to happen, Bridges.

What's not?

I got the transfer request for your daughter and Rachel McCabe.

You did?

Yeah.

And I want you to know you're not going to usurp my authority on personnel

matters.

I look at the whole department's needs, and I need those officers elsewhere.

Eh, thank you.

Well, that's going to be a problem, because they now work here at the SIU.

And if you've got a problem with that, have the mayor call me.

Thank you.

The exit's that way.

So, how's this going to work?

Well, you're going to be seeing a whole lot of your old dad, I guess, huh?

Oh, Dad, I mean, are you going to treat me like a cop or are you going to treat

me like a kid?

Well, that depends.

Are you going to treat me like your boss or your dad?

That's what I thought.

Yeah, okay.

Come on, rookie, I'll buy you dinner.

All right.
