Hold my hand now, it's about to get so drastic, I really can't explain.

Now, where's the tickle in 16 on your ass, cat? Why do it with the mask? Cause

you hear ones I know, man, we're black. Focus, focus, can you see? Now, focus,

concentrate and comprehend.

We're gonna beat your ass, hope it ain't no time for fun and can't. Come and

beat you where you can get.

If it's your ass, blow that you's a donut. Please believe that, it's me, you

too. Hold that. Hold that.

Hold that.

Hey, Mike!

What do we do if they come in?

Kill them.

It's all you.

The leaves open up.

Hey, guy.

What's going on?

Huh.

We got a noise complaint.

Oh, yeah, yeah. We're serving a fugitive warrant.

Ran into a little resistance.

It's cool now that we've got him under control.

Our partner's just tossing the place.

Is it just the two of you?

We could give you a heading if you want.

No, that's all good, man. We got it. Thanks.

Good luck, then.

Stay safe.

Yeah, you guys too.

Could I see a warrant?

Just I don't know you.

You guys are, like, way the hell out of your jurisdiction, aren't you?

You guys don't know about us coming down here?

Ah, so I thought that you were supposed to be getting heads up.

Where's your car?

In the alley.

Okay.

All is left to know.

Yeah, isn't that the police way?

Okay, then.

Good luck.

Talk to you later.

We're a necessary evil, like chemo. That's what they think, anyway.

Who told you that?

Nobody told me. I mean, look, you got this here, right?

Projects. Adding.

Hookers.

Tamils. MS -13.

Blood. Crypts. More stuff than we can handle, okay? Yeah, but there's a couple

night threats, Ross, just down there.

Watch it, watch it.

Like on this side over here, you got the poor. Lying and cheating and stealing

to pay the rent.

And over this little bridge we go, you got the rich. Lying and cheating and

stealing... To collect the rent.

Exactly.

You know, it's the same division. Same police division, bridge division.

Except now, we're in a, like, million -dollar homes here. And like these upper

-class people over here, they don't want a cop that just got dumped up by some

head case patrolling the streets.

They want the nice people. The ones with the good manners to me.

Exactly. It's all about... The money.

That's right.

And they pay a lot of money in taxes over here. And they want to get what

pay for.

Oh, there we go.

Hey, Ben Hector?

Hey. Hey, it is you.

Hey! Frank!

Tommy! How you doing, actor?

I thought you were on night.

I'm breaking into Rookie.

We heard the call. What the hell?

Yeah. That him?

Yeah. The kid's got a college degree, but a total lack of common sense.

Well, if there's anybody that can teach him in the ways of the police force,

he's my friend. I wouldn't know about that. Just look how you turned out.

Hey, that's, uh... They call him Bo. He's a homeless guy.

Oh, that's too bad. I like that guy.

Somebody didn't.

What the hell is he doing up there?

Haven't you heard, Frank?

There's a better class of garbage up here.

Witness says the victim got run over.

Did she fit?

Heard it. Saw a pickup truck.

Got a good look, but she didn't get the light.

Ah, Stagley. New duty, sir.

Dark Cloud himself.

Yeah, I met him. Check out the license plate.

Trying to bring a little sunshine into his life. It's been on there for two

days. He still hasn't noticed.

What's the story here?

Hit and run, Sergeant.

Sergeant Stackley.

How'd you get this number?

Who am I? I'm a police officer, you disgusting pervert.

You think this is funny?

No, Sergeant.

Damn right it's not. I've got no detectives. I can get over here right

you and your partner are going to have to fill in the blanks until I can get

somebody on there. Well, as union rep, once again, I have to protest the shot.

How's your dad since the heart attack?

Heart attack?

What heart attack?

You know him.

He's back on the job in two weeks.

So, same feelings between you two, then?

I wouldn't know.

We don't talk about feelings, so I don't know his.

Everything happened the way you wanted, Frank.

All I ever wanted was to be a cop.

I don't care that we don't have enough detectives. It doesn't really bother me.

We're getting screwed, man. We don't get the same pay for the same work.

We'll get a beer and talk about it. It's my turn with the kids. I'll drink a

beer with you, Frank.

Okay, Jill.

Mike, beers?

No, man, I got a thing.

Mike's no program.

Since when?

I don't know, a couple of weeks.

Rose, want to go for a cocktail?

I got to get my feet up. I spent the whole day looking for uniforms.

You hear about that?

I'm missing three uniforms.

Gone like an overtime.

Don't tell me they're shacking us in overtime. Ross, buddy, beers?

No, I can't tonight, guys. Gotta get home.

He's gotta know, you know.

What? What, what?

His wife kicked him out a week ago.

Oh, but they've only been married for like a year.

You don't know? He sleeps in his car in the parking lot.

Oh, sweet home.

Okay, wait up, Frank. I'm just gonna get changed.

Wait. What?

Wait, I'm sorry. I've had way too much to drink, and my girlfriend wouldn't

understand. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The girlfriend.

I get it. Sorry.

It's good.

No, it's okay.

It's, uh, Sarah, right?

I met her once. She's really nice. Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

She's, um, scared of silly guys too much, you know?

So are you guys gonna get married or unionized, whatever the hell you call

it? No, I was married to a cop, Frank. Couldn't put it through that.

What about you? How come you never married?

I've just been really thinking about the job a lot lately, you know?

Yeah.

That's what I mean about being married to a cop.

Don't you just love it?

Yeah.

Please leave a message at the sound of the tone.

Hey, Hector, it's Frank.

Hector, pick up. You there, buddy?

All right, look, here's the thing. We're having a little surprise party for Ross

tomorrow night.

Wife kicked him out, so he's sleeping in his car in the British Division parking

lot. Long story, but it'd be great if you could drop by for a couple beers and

catch up and all that.

It was really great seeing you the other day.

We've got to go to a ball game like we used to, all right, pal?

I know, I know, everybody's working, but we should just make a little time,

so... Anyway, let me know.

Surprise party, free beer, tomorrow night.

Hold on, Kathy.

Blue or green? Big difference?

Blue or green? I don't know.

Okay, is there anything else you remember?

What kind of truck was it that hit the old lady?

Sure. Okay, it was... It wasn't like a working guy's truck, okay? Like, it

was... A guy's toy truck.

Right? You know, like that.

I got two people saw a pickup blast out of the alley and take off through the

intersection. Yeah, crack it. Yeah, he's got the same story.

Hey, Alex.

Yeah, let's go. Stay up for a sec.

Hey, guys.

We had a hit and run the other night. Just like this.

Witnessed the same kind of truck.

Maybe it's related.

Get me the incident report.

I'm up to here, but I'll take a look, all right? All right. Okay, take care.

Thanks.

Hey, isn't that Manny's little brother?

Oh.

Don't fight me, little man. I'll throw you into traffic, I swear. Come on, come

on. Manny!

Hey, Frank, what's up?

Your little brother and his road dogs are dealing butt in my streets again.

not happy. I told him. Kid thinks he's OG.

No, he thinks he's gonna help you sell guns to your bros in Sri Lanka. He wants

a little piece of the dream.

So how come Punjabi Mafia's letting you guys hang out down here now?

Too much heroin to go around?

Look, he's gonna charge them.

You're gonna keep a short leash on them?

Yeah.

All right, get the hell out of here. Go on. I owe you, Frank. Yeah, yeah, you

do.

Get out of here, guys.

What's up, guys? We're just doing a little party training.

Hey, Daryl, I thought you said you weren't going to let Billy drive no

hit a dog.

One time.

He took it to the vet and everything.

And it died.

It's a dog. Get over it.

Where you guys at? Over the bridge with Smith the Thaler of old money.

Yeah, some smart -ass rich kid is peeing cars.

Stay rare.

Have fun.

I was king of the suggestion.

I was always giving the bosses all these great ideas. Frank, look who's here.

Hey, Dad. Frank.

Tommy! How you doing?

I was being still treating you, Vic.

Still out busting the bosses' heads. Tommy!

Hey, you still union rep for these guys here? As long as they'll have me.

Remember, you gotta make them believe that you'll strike fire in the belly,

Tommy. I gotta fire my belly, Vic. It's usually from too much coffee.

I need to go hunt up their incident report for Alex.

See you, Vic. Tommy? Nice seeing you, Vic. See you, Rabbi.

Want to come in and get a cup of coffee? No, no. I got finished early with some

union business, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi before I drive back south.

Should have called, maybe.

No, no, no. It's fine.

I'll walk you to the truck. Yeah, sure.

I've only got a minute.

Is that guy management?

Yeah, our boss, Barnum. Yeah, I knew it.

Bosses look the same everywhere.

Noses in the air.

Barnum's not so bad. We've had worse.

Well, I guess I'd better hit the road.

Rush hour. Yeah.

All right, well, thanks for stopping by, Bob. Yeah.

Okay. All right, man. See you.

All right, Bob. Drive carefully. Yeah.

See you guys tomorrow.

Hey!

Welcome home!

Alright.

How long you guys know?

You stopped changing your shorts.

Took up a collection.

Get your hotel room.

At least you'll pay that.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

Come here, you idiot.

I just miss you so much, you know? Guess what?

She doesn't deserve you.

Who the hell are those guys?

I saw you.

Wait here.

Tali! We need a union rep!

Caught the kid with a pocket knife right -handed, straight from the car.

He would've let us know we went out.

Kid naked?

No. Let's think about it.

You worry about shooting someone, but whoever sees this coming... We call them

duty sergeants. Exactly, right?

Next thing you know, we got us how you want our backs.

Did you tell him anything?

No, we don't bet on that.

Okay, good.

I'm going to call Ray at the union. We can get a lawyer down here. The union

lawyers, they suck.

I know.

It's just for this. You can hire whoever you want later.

I just remembered I got to call my boyfriend.

We had a date.

You're going to be here a while.

Yeah. I didn't think I'd shave my legs to do this tonight.

Command's through that door.

Farnam is who you want.

You guys can wait in my office.

Cantor. Yeah.

When? Tommy, wait.

Okay, where?

Okay, we'll wait for you.

What?

Sometimes I think the world is held together by nothing but God's tears.

What am I going to do with all this stuff?

What, are you kidding?

Leave it. This neighborhood is gone by morning.

Hey.

Are they going to be okay?

Frank, we've got some bad news.

Inspector Frank.

Garage door was closed, but his car was running.

How were you found?

Any chance he just passed out?

Uh, hard to say. We did find an empty mickey of scotch in his car, though.

So you just immediately jumped to suicide, is that it?

Well, you tell me.

Was he normally a drinker?

A little more since Rita died, and she passed, what, 20 years ago?

Yeah, exactly. So why kill himself now?

Frank Leo, right? Yeah.

It's addressed to you.

He says bye to me.

Wants to be buried next to Rita.

And everyone else can go to hell.

You know if he had any other family?

No.

He's a guy like me.

Guys like us, rookies he's trained.

We were his family.

I'll start the arrangements.

Frank.

You know there won't be a police funeral, right?

What do you mean?

He killed himself. The brass won't allow it.

After all he's done, you've got to be kidding me. It's policy, Frank.

Suicide's a black eye in the department.

What about the union, Tommy? You guys can lean on the brass.

I don't see how, Frank.

Well, what the hell good is it, then?

It's not how this works, Frank.

You've got to write up a request.

Go through channels, up the ladder, chain of command. Did you ever hear

Yeah, but he's got to leave sometime, right?

Yeah, so do I.

And right now, unless he's still got a career, it would be good, I think.

Officers?

Can I help you?

We're here to see the chief.

Yes, I know he asked me to come down, talk to you.

I'm Deputy Chief Landy.

So, what's this all about?

A fellow member, Hector Arandez.

Yes, right, I know about that situation.

And? We won a police funeral.

Did you know he killed himself?

Did you know he trained a lot of officers?

No, I didn't.

Did you read his record?

I had no reason to.

You should go read his record.

You're upset.

I understand.

So I'm going to cut you some slack this time.

But there will be no police funeral. Yeah, there will.

Did you say?

I said yes, there will be a police funeral.

What's your name and division?

Frank Leo.

Bridge Division.

You tell him to sort out his attitude or I'm going to do it for him.

I managed to get most of the guys Hector trained. A few couldn't make it, but

they said they're okay to whatever.

I have no idea what to say to these guys.

What the hell do I say to these guys?

Hey, I'm here. What do you want to say to them?

Frank, they know what this is about, and they're behind you.

They just want to drink a beer with the guy who's sticking it to the brass.

You really sure you want to go through this?

Yeah. Why?

Changing your mind?

I don't remember making up my mind in the first place.

All right, everybody.

Next round's on me.

A police funeral for a suicide?

It's too public.

The last thing we need right now is more controversy.

You owe me.

You know it.

I know it, Frank.

I know it.

But please, not this, okay?

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Come here.

Come here.

Kathy, tell me, you recognize this guy?

Looks kind of familiar.

Take a good look.

Maybe with a crack pipe in his mouth, pants at his ankles. What do you think?

Frank, for God's sake. Hey, Kathy's got a lot to confess.

And I don't think a priest is going to do it.

I don't think she needs an archbishop. You know what I'm saying?

You should run for Pope.

Chief. I was just going to see you.

Who the hell is Frank Leo?

You've been busy, Frank.

And I've been hearing that because of you, there's going to be a police

tomorrow.

The mayor's been asking me about it.

Members of the media.

Imagine my surprise.

So I decided to find out who else knows about this funeral.

And it turns out every division in the city knows.

And many of their members are planning on attending.

What were the numbers we came up with?

2 ,000 and counting.

So you know where I'm going to go when I get done here, Frank?

I'm going to give a press conference.

And I'm going to announce that Officer Hector Arandez, a valiant member of this

police department, died tragically in an accident.

And that he will be buried with full honors, befitting his many years of

to this city.

But you and I will know that's not the truth.

You and I will know.

And you and I will also know that you're an insubordinate pain in the ass who

just caught a very big break from me.

And now you owe me.

And you will pay me back, Frank.

You'll pay me back by keeping your mouth shut about this.

You got it?

Is there an empty locker?

Yeah, there's one.

Carl Harvard, you should transfer it over.

Thank you.

You're him.

The funeral, right?

Yeah.

Hurry up, Dad. Time to go.

I can't get this damn tie right.

Mom was sure pretty that day.

Oh, the beach?

Yeah, yeah.

I know that's my first memory.

I remember you were cranky as hell.

No, I wasn't. Yeah, you were.

No, I wasn't.

Turn around. What are you doing in time?

What the hell did you do here?

She wouldn't let you go swimming after you ate lunch and you threw a fit.

And I remember her saying, he's just like you, Victor.

Too much pride and too little patience.

Well, you should be very proud then.

Like father, like son, huh?

You raised me right and all that.

This funeral, I didn't know Hector meant that much to you.

Well, he did.

You know what?

I'm going to fix it in the car.

We got to go.

So if it doesn't rain, it's down.

It's sunny the day we buried Mom.

I got it.

Bye.

That was a nice program.

Hey man, that was a good thing you did today.

Yeah, Frank, you know, you got an ounce of help for this stuff. Dead guys at

funerals? No, like, you know, organizing people and all that. No offense, Tommy,

but Frank could make a good union rep.

That's nice of him for a hundred bucks.

Frank's not political, right, bro? I'm not political.

Great job, Frank.

Thank you.

Woo! Okay.

I just talked to the lawyer.

That kid was all coked up. Had some sort of heart condition or something. And

that's how we die.

There you go. So the police board is going to have to clear it. Oh, thank

God!

Thank you, God. Man, we dodged one big -ass bullet on that one. Don't really

have me worried with that damn video.

What video?

Guy across the street had a videocast.

Take the whole thing.

I mean, he didn't come forward with it, so we didn't tell us, not you.

You know how those videos can get misunderstood.

Yeah.

I want you to meet somebody.

I'll get him back.

Frank,

this is Neil. He's with Internal Affairs.

Come on. Damn it, Frank. Just hear the man out. I'm vouching for him.

We can't do this here.

Hector Arandes was under an IA investigation for taking a payoff.

Payoff from who?

Supposedly Hector caught some pedophilia trying to pick up a 10 -year -old boy

in a mall. Gave him money and looked the other way. Oh, that sort of crap. Who

initiated the complaint?

The rookie riding with him. It was all a box job.

The rookie was put up to it by a couple of command officers at headquarters.

It wasn't the first time they tried it either.

Why the hell did they do that?

It's personal.

Pick a reason.

So the brass can just initiate an IA investigation just to do that. Oh, man,

where you been?

Not paying close enough attention, obviously.

Just having the accusation over his head would have been enough to ruin it.

So how do you fit into this?

It's my investigation.

There's been a clearing, but I was too late.

So what, you're looking for forgiveness?

Ask God why you're telling me.

Recognize this guy?

Name's Carl Harbin. He just got transferred to your division.

Don't trust him. He's a snitch for the brass.

You're on somebody's hit list.

Perfect.

Any idea who?

Who you pissed off lately.

The police board has released a portion of the video, and again, we remind you,

some of the images you're about to see may be disturbing.

St. James of the prosecutor's office.

Mr. Talley, can you tell us who took this video and why are we just seeing it

now? I can't reveal our source, Helen. What I can say is thank God we have the

angels on our side.

It's what I've been saying for months. Cops are way out of control.

The video clearly shows the officer's excessive use of force is what caused

boy's death.

Also, it's clear they knew they were being taped and yet they failed to bring

this damning evidence to light.

Why not?

Because they knew they had something to hide.

Ms. St. James, in light of this new evidence, will the prosecutor's office

charging these two officers?

With all due respect to Mr. Talley, I don't feel that... Who's this

She new?

She's hot. She's the enemy.

We're in serious trouble.

I don't even remember doing that.

Come on, take it easy.

I'm fine.

Don't look at my guy.

The kid, he was like crazy.

He kicked me, man.

He hit me in the face.

He spit at Billy. We couldn't hold him down.

I mean, come on, man. Why didn't the guy videotape that part?

Probably did. He was just not showing it on purpose.

Where the hell did they get the tape?

What do you think, new guy?

The guy must have decided to come forward, I guess.

Frank, you set for that drug buy? Yeah, we're expected.

Carl, you don't mind giving these guys a hand later, do you?

Sure, no. I'm up for it.

Hey, guys, let's get going.

Yeah.

We get measured by violence, Frank.

People can't help it if they see something like that. Yeah, but they just

to see the whole thing.

See how it all went down, you know?

Hey, I thought you wanted to eat.

Yeah, I got something I got to do. I'll call you later.

McBain James?

Yes? This is about that kid who died. I work with the two police officers.

You're prosecuting that case, right?

I will be, but I'm sorry I can't let me discuss that with you. Did you see the

entire video?

I mean, the part that showed why the officers had to use force on him?

Police officers have to be held to a higher standard, don't you think?

Not when it's being used to screw with them, no. I don't agree with that.

The officers put you up to this?

I talked to the guy who had the camera, okay? He didn't come forward because he

didn't think the police officers did anything wrong. And then he's surprised

tell when SIU shows up at his house last night with a search warrant.

What's your name?

Frank Leo.

Well, Frank Leo, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to end the conversation.

Answer me this.

Why did the police board only release part of the tape?

And don't tell me you haven't asked yourself that question.

Because I know you have.

If you give them the money, you take the stuff. We'll take them down.

It's not Punjabi Mafia. I thought the Punjabis controlled India.

No, no, no. This guy's the Tamil.

Works alone. He's trying to make a name for himself.

Give us a minute to get him back.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Give me your weapon. He's going to pat you down.

All right. We'll stand up. We know it's time.

What you want, my friend?

I want what you got for me.

What do you got for me?

Let

me

out. I'm a police officer.

That's not what I hear.

I hear that you are a rat.

You a rat?

Let me have.

Nobody's keeping you?

Rat.

Jello. Who?

You look different.

What, is that a compliment?

You look exactly the same, and that's most definitely a compliment.

I'll have the same.

Spit it out.

So I thought you couldn't talk to me. I've been taken off the case.

What? What happened?

I don't believe there's enough evidence for conviction, and don't ask me why I'm

telling you, okay?

You saw the whole video.

Is your boss going to drop it?

The video is in the eye of the beholder, and George Talley knows it, which is

why he's going to push this thing as far as he can.

Forget guilt and innocence. He's making a point. I don't understand.

What does Talley want? What does he get by doing this? Frank, the biggest

mistake you can make with a guy like Talley is to think he's operating with a

political agenda.

He is a zealot. He really believes he's protecting the public against bad cops.

End of story.

Of course, you put him with somebody who is operating on a political agenda,

like my boss, lusting after the Attorney General's job, and it just makes me

bloody madder than hell.

All right, what do we do? What do you think?

Work the back channels.

Change the focus of the inquiry. I don't know. This is something that the union

should be doing. And I'm surprised I haven't heard from them at all on...

it.

Union's useless.

Doesn't have any teeth.

Then maybe they should grow some.

Look, I'm sorry. I gotta go.

You know, you're working for the wrong side.

Those three missing uniforms, remember those?

Well, it appears we've got three bad guys out there posing as cops and

off drug dealers.

Could be using our uniforms. We don't know.

Anyway, talk to your C .I. See if anybody's heard anything.

Also, you see on your sheet there that Alex and Jill here got the make, model,

and plate number of the pickup that killed two of our homeless.

It's registered to Lee Gordon Murray.

Mr. Murray has no priors, but consider him armed with a pickup and dangerous.

Yeah, Frank.

Everybody knows the situation with Billy and Daryl?

Well,

I just found out that this guy Tally is not going to let it go, and he doesn't

care if they get convicted in court or in public. Either way, their careers are

getting screwed over, and I figure it's about time that we did something about

it. What I figure we do and what I propose is the bridge division is a one

walkout. Are you crazy? You don't just walk out.

It doesn't work like that. Why not?

I think it's a good idea.

I agree.

Bring some attention, maybe. Like we did with the funeral, right?

Ron, it's not the same thing. You walk out and you're putting the public in

danger. Right there, brass can throw all your asses in jail.

Oh, it's the union thing.

It's the union thing. We're protected, right?

What? Did I miss something?

When did the union mean anything to you?

I got to agree with Tommy. I mean, walk out seems...

That's Billy and Daryl today. That's me and you tomorrow, Mike. We watch each

other's backs on the street every single day. This is no different. Frank, I'm

sorry. I can't risk it. Anybody that doesn't want in, nobody's going to look

hard on them. Okay?

Come on. You're going along with this.

Come on, Tommy. What about it?

We need you to make it legitimate.

Then you've got to pick another union rep. I can't do it. I can't be

for ruining all your careers. Leave me out of it.

Hey, Frank, you should be our union rep. I mean, it was your idea, right?

Too late, buddy. We're drafting you.

Careful what you wish for, partner.

Big gun.

Down on the ground.

Get up.

On your knees.

Get up.

Got money. Got drugs.

Stay safe.

Don't even think about calling a cop.

They're all going to be on strike at midnight.

Shut up, man. You talk too much.

Put your face down!

You know what to do, right?

Yeah. I'm going to call I .A. and I'm going to go.

You want to know who's doing the drug rip -offs?

Look at Frank Leo.

That's right.

Because with the strike, the brass will do anything to get them.

What do you got against this Frank Leo, anyway?

Nothing, man.

I'm a friend of mine.
