Wait a minute, Sam, are you telling me it's a big rat type thing?

Yeah, sure.

Gee, do people eat them?

Of course. They eat them in Australia, China, and New Guinea.

But I don't know how to say it in English.

It's not a rat, right?

No, bigger.

Bigger?

Yeah.

A squirrel? No.

A rabbit?

No. A cow?

No.

A pig?

No.

But I don't eat it.

Well, that's good to know.

Hi, Harry. How are you?

I'm good, Miss Sharp. Anything?

No. Check the bag.

Let's go for

dinner.

All right.

I'll be back. I'll be back. be back.

We're right around the corner. This is 20-L-4. We'll be there in 30 seconds.

Attention unit 20L4 responding.

Units 19VL3, 19VL4, 19R19 also responding.

Go check the closet.

Looks like we got company down here.

What's taking you so long?

Hurry it up!

Copy that, we're almost done.

Come on, we gotta go.

Go on down, I'll be right there.

Department 929, right? Yeah.

Sam, I'll take the roof. I'll take the roof.

I'll meet you down there.

me through it. Victim's carol shot, assistant district attorney.

Shot once in the chest.

She came home early from an ABA dinner, and judging from the marks on her body,

she at least would've been fighting.

I'm not surprised.

I worked some cases with the carol, she was a real fighter.

She wasn't afraid to take anyone on.

TVs, VCR, jewelry, all there.

So it wasn't just a straight burglary?

No, our climbers were looking for something specific.

Her files, her cases, she knew something important.

I guess this is how the other half exercise.

Yeah, only in LA. How do you tell who works here?

Can I help you?

Yes. Would you like to speak to the manager?

I'm the assistant manager.

Talk to me. We were told that you're the only store in Los Angeles that carries

this kind of specialty climbing rope.

Yeah, well, LA is not exactly a rock-climbing mecca.

Yeah, sure.

The Joshua Tree line, we carry it.

But I think we're out of stock.

Actually, we need a list of customer sales.

Names and addresses, if you have them.

What's it about? We're investigating a murder.

We'd appreciate your help.

I guess there is no such thing as trainer-client privilege.

Here.

It'll take me a few minutes to pull it off the computer.

We'll wait. What do you say, baby?

Race you to the top? No, thank you.

But go ahead.

I'll see you up there.

Yeah. All right.

Kevin? Grace?

You're supposed to be in Shanghai.

Wow, it's been eight years.

You look great.

So are you still running rivers in Africa and windsurfing in Costa Rica?

Last year, I went mountaineering in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia and rock

climbing in Peru. So yeah, I'm still at it.

So you're living out your dream.

Part of it.

So what about you?

I mean, I'm missing a big piece here.

I mean, you move back to Shanghai and- It's a really long story.

I'd love to hear it.

Hey, I got a great tree climb.

I don't know if I'm up for that kind of thing anymore.

Sure you are.

Hey.

We have the lists?

They're from the LOPD, Kevin.

Is it OK if I give him a list of customers who purchased Joshua Tree Ropes?

That's fine, Micah.

OK, thank you.

I will.

Who's the mystery man?

Just an old friend.

OK, Pat, here you go.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Fred. Fred, three.

That's all you need is three?

Yeah.

All right, Andy. Here you go.

Don't let me forget, I owe you change still, all right?

We tracked down Carol's assistant, Melanie George.

She's going to be in the office this morning packing up Carol's stuff.

Oh, good. Let's find out everything we can about the cases she was prosecuting.

Oh, Sammo.

Here you go. This is for you.

I ordered the ones with nuts.

And you're getting the ones with caramel.

I thought in America, the customer is always right.

They always are, unless sales happen to be slumping.

Lieutenant, isn't Benny Jr.

supposed to be selling these himself?

I'm just trying to help the kid out.

Here you go, Lieutenant.

Oh, hey, Eric. Thanks a lot.

And put me down for two boxes of your daughter's Girl Scout cookies.

What kind?

Yeah, whatever.

Whatever's fine.

Get the Samoas. Very tasty.

Samoas.

Oh, the Samoas, are they the little caramel things with the coconut that pops up

through the middle?

Yes.

The chewy ones. Very good.

Hey, Sammo, how is it you know so much about Girl Scout cookies?

In Shanghai, I was the guest of honor at the Girl Scout jamboree.

I should have known. No thanks, Lieutenant.

We sang many songs. The peanut butter is also very good.

Peanut butter. Peanut butter.

That's good. Put him down for two boxes of peanut butter.

Everybody liked her.

Carol was terrific.

She only yelled at me that one time.

I forgot to pick up creamer for the coffee, and she was really tired,

and it got ugly.

And I finally said, hey, it's just coffee.

Oh my god, I'm not a suspect, am I? No, Melanie.

The person who killed Carol was looking for something.

Really? You mean like money or something?

She didn't make a lot of money.

I saw her paycheck once.

It was pitiful, you know, for someone of her stature and intelligence.

Oh, it's not terrible that I looked, is it?

It's OK. Thank you.

She was a good boss?

The best.

She was a Capricorn.

They're very supportive.

Do you know about this case?

No, this wasn't one of our cases.

This was handled by Bob McCabe.

He's another one of the ADAs in the office.

Why did Carol have this?

We found it in her apartment.

I don't know. You're a...

Taurus, right?

A Taurus?

I'm a Gemini.

We're very compatible.

Not that I'm saying that you and I are compatible, but those signs are, well,

you know... compatible.

When's your birthday?

In April or May?

January.

Oh.

Do all files come with blue bands?

Only if they're cold, dead, or closed.

Active cases have a red band.

We're very color-coordinated.

Did Carol have any other files on dead cases?

On dead cases?

Actually, she did.

What for?

I don't know.

She pulled them herself.

She didn't want to talk about it.

I told her that that was my job, and if we were having some sort of trust issues,

I would be happy to...

It's okay. You've been a big help.

Really?

Yes. Where is Bob McCabe?

Well, it's Saturday, so of course nobody's here.

Actually, Bob's on a three-month leave of absence for personal reasons.

He's at a retreat.

He left an address for emergencies.

I'm sure that this qualifies.

Here, Bob McCabe.

Thank you.

If I think of anything else, I'll give you a call.

Sure.

You know, maybe I should get your home number, just to be on the safe side.

No problem.

Bob McCabe

Hello, can I help you?

I'm looking for Bob McCabe.

Welcome, welcome.

Come on around.

Everybody's down back.

Are you Bob McCabe? Yeah, you just made it.

The meeting's almost over, but there's still time for you.

I need to talk to you. No, no.

After the meeting. We try to keep this very anonymous.

No, I... After the meeting, we'll talk.

This way.

Motorcycles, boats, trains.

Really anything with forward momentum.

But most often it's in cars for me.

Maybe it's the throbbing of the motor or the sensation of the speed.

I don't know.

But whenever I get into a car, I just feel the need for sex.

It's this immediate overwhelming urge.

I need sex.

I can't even drive to the minimart without wanting to have sex.

Well, being aware of the problem is the first step, Alicia.

I see we're almost out of time and we have a new member.

What's your name? And of your first name only, please.

Samuel.

Welcome, Samuel.

It's often best to start with a simple story.

So tell us, for example, how you first discovered you were addicted to sex.

What? God, I'm sorry.

Jeez, what a mix-up, huh?

You know, sexual addiction is a real issue for many people and they find these

therapy retreats very helpful.

Don't their stories make it worse?

Well, there is some of that.

As for this case file, I don't know why Carol would have it.

It wasn't one of my crowning moments.

Why? I lost the case.

It looked like we had a slam-dunk victory over these three cocaine traffickers but

the case got thrown out.

For what reason?

Insufficient evidence.

It just disappeared.

Thank you. Thank you.

I did not.

Listen, Lewis, you bought three to two dollars and fifty cents each.

You only gave me five dollars.

I'll give you a bar back.

I only did it to help you out anyway.

I don't want a bar back.

No sale. Give me the money.

This is getting way out of hand.

Thank you.

There he is. Samuel, did you learn anything out there?

Yes, quite a few things.

I also made progress on the case.

Yeah, we got your calls.

We also checked on that list of missing files.

And we found out that they sent three more files over to Carol's office yesterday

on a request that she made last week.

Better get someone to intercept those files.

I will go back. Melanie is still there.

How about this?

I give you two candy bars for that apple.

Not a chance. Don't do any business with him.

He's worthless. I'm sorry.

Ow! Ow!

Ow! You little...

Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Ow!

Hey!

I got it! Ow!

Ow! Are you okay?

Sammo, you saved my life.

What was on the videotape, Charlie?

I'm not saying anything until I see my lawyer.

Really? You want to see your lawyer?

Well, who would you like us to call?

Frank Murdoch?

Kramer and Murdoch?

It's an $800 an hour firm, Charlie.

You have a rich uncle or something?

That's all I'm saying.

I think Carol prosecuted a case against Murdoch once.

I wasn't her assistant then, but I got the feeling she didn't like him.

Why is that?

Well, she lost the case.

Carol didn't lose many cases.

We have the three files that Carol requested, and in all three cases,

Frank Murdoch was the defense attorney.

What were the results?

Two dismissals and an acquittal, all due to lack of sufficient evidence.

Carol was running her own investigation.

This lawyer is stealing evidence, using our team to do it.

He also stole the evidence Carol had against him.

It's okay. How do we nail him?

Made it! Yeah.

This is where you live, huh?

This is it, my humble abode.

Well, you were right. This is a beautiful tree.

It is.

So why don't we go for a climb, and then we'll get something to eat?

You know, Kevin, I can never look up at a tall tree without wondering whether or

not I can climb it now.

That's good. Why don't you get ready, and I'll meet you up at the top?

Okay.

I'll be back soon. Get in.

Go, go, go. So why are you still in there?

He never did like me.

I thought you just blew me off.

It worked.

He split us up.

So, you must be doing pretty good at the gym.

I mean, with all of your world travels and stuff.

I do all right. We got a pretty good thing going.

You and Micah and Charlie Jones.

Who else? I don't know what you're talking about.

I hope so.

Did you come out here because you thought I was involved in your police case?

Was that the reason?

Part of it. But not all of it. So maybe even after all this time,

you're still feeling the same as me.

This tape is the reason Carol was killed.

It is very important for you to remember what you saw.

Concentrate.

I'm sorry. I feel so stupid for not seeing anything.

You did see something.

You only need to help your mind remember it.

Breathe slowly in and out.

Think only of the tape.

I'm not remembering any clues.

Close your eyes.

Think only about the tape.

What do you see? What do you see?

I do see something.

What?

There was a guy painting.

An artist?

Yes.

Keep your mind clear.

What was he painting?

A landscape? A portrait?

An octagon.

He was an abstract painter?

No.

There was a pea inside the octagon.

He was painting signs inside a parking garage.

That's good. That's something.

Really? Thanks.

You know, I'm all for this meditation stuff, but I really think it would help me if

I had a glass of wine.

Maybe you should come over to my place for dinner.

In a relaxed atmosphere, I'm sure I could remember even more.

Okay.

Sure. Frank Marduk?

I'm not giving any interviews.

Who said anything about an interview?

I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about Carol Schott.

It was a terrible tragedy.

Yes, it was, partner.

But you know what's really interesting?

We found out that Carol was going through some of your old cases.

Carol Schott had a grudge.

Really?

Why is that? She was against me.

As a result, the DA sent her back down to doing petty theft, drug cases,

and domestic squabbles.

So you're telling me Carol had a personal vendetta?

Yeah. Why are you representing Charlie Jones?

How is that relevant? Charlie was caught breaking into Carol's office.

I'd say that's pretty relevant.

I don't like your implicit accusation.

In fact, I'm insulted.

So you want to ask me another question?

Get a subpoena.

Have a nice afternoon.

Thanks.

I see you met one of my new friends.

He talk to you?

Yeah, his partner was sniffing around the gym asking questions.

Hey, what's up with Charlie?

I've bonded him out.

He's fine. Didn't say a word.

In fact, once this is destroyed, we're in the clear.

Not quite.

Schott's assistant, when we broke in, she was watching it.

Let me rephrase.

Once she's taken care of, we're in the clear.

I'm not a hit man, Frank.

It's funny. That seems to contradict the death of a certain assistant DA we both

know. That was an accident.

She surprised us.

Let me stiffen your resolve.

If I go down, you go down.

All right. I'll see what I can do.

Kevin, we still have a lot of money to make together.

Yeah. Right.

Thank you.

Try

it. Mmm. Crispy.

Very crispy.

I'm not a very good cook.

I guess I'm still a little bit upset.

Of course, I'm not a very good cook even when I'm not upset.

Don't worry. You're safe.

Oh. Thank you.

Sammo, do you have a girlfriend?

Is that too personal?

You don't have to answer that.

Forget I asked.

No. Not right now.

My work comes first.

Oh, well, there are women who would understand that.

You are a very nice friend, Melanie.

Gotcha. Please be happy.

Oh, here. I have a gift for you.

You don't.

I do.

Oh. Oh.

In Chinese, it is called Tongsheng.

A character that tells what will happen to you each day.

Oh, so it's like a horoscope.

Oh, that's lovely.

I could have used this yesterday.

Let me. Yesterday.

Yesterday was a bad day for you.

Today. Ah.

We should go out to eat.

Just leave the food there.

It won't go bad. You ready to go?

Sure. Okay.

Sarah! It's on fire!

You okay?

You did it!

Do you have a cleaning lady?

Thank you, Sammo, for agreeing to teach me some self-defense.

My pleasure.

I think a woman should know how to protect herself.

Thank you. And you're so good at it.

It's amazing what you can do.

Many years of training.

Oh, well, if there's anything that I can do for you.

You owe me nothing, Melanie.

Well, if you think of anything.

I mean, I can sew on a button or rearrange your closet.

I even know a judge at traffic court in case you get a ticket.

Not that I think that you're a bad driver or anything.

Melanie. Yeah?

It is time for your lesson.

Right. I'll stop talking.

It's a bad habit.

In order to be successful, you must distract your opponent and then attack.

So what should I do?

A high kick or a karate chop?

No. Stomp on the foot.

Okay.

Less practiced.

Okay, good. Let's say that I'm alone in a parking structure walking to my car,

and a dark, foreign-speaking stranger approaches me from behind.

Well, he gets closer and closer.

I can feel him breathing on the nape of my neck.

Do you think you're gonna be in the States for long, Samuel?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Well, then the stranger grabs me around the waist.

Like this?

Well, a little tighter.

Like that.

Yeah. You know, there's a lot that I can show you in Los Angeles.

Have you ever been to the gardens at the Huntington Museum?

Melanie, we should continue with the lesson.

Oh, right.

You know, there's always a libretto at Tar Pits.

You know... Oh!

Was that good? I distracted you.

Yes.

I was not prepared.

You're a good teacher, Samuel.

Oh, thank you.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Okay, what else can you teach me?

Obviously, whatever's on that tape could put Murdoch away.

The problem is, Melanie didn't see anything on the tape that can help us.

Found the parking garage, Lieutenant.

Octagon Tower's on Wilshire.

Also happens to house Frank Murdoch's law offices.

That's no coincidence, is it?

Either way, there's the fact that Charlie Jones was released on bail,

posted by Murdoch's firm.

What about your friend Kevin, who runs the gym?

Um, I saw him.

He wasn't helpful. Oh.

What'd he say?

Nothing. It was personal.

We just got caught up. What's the matter, Lieutenant?

You look a little worried.

No, no, no, no.

Captain McFarlane's kid is selling candy bars, too.

All the narcotics and forensics bought from him.

I mean, this isn't charity.

This is warfare.

He and I, we went to the academy together.

Now we're at war over chocolate bars.

Way out of hand.

Morning.

Hello, Lord Sheriff. May I speak to you for a second?

What's wrong, Pepe?

I think my old friend Kevin might be involved in this.

Do you have proof?

Maybe.

Save your emotions until we get proof.

I hope I'm wrong.

We will find out soon.

Thank you. You missed?

If you saw this Chinese cop and you knew anything about martial arts,

you'd get the picture real quick.

I got the picture.

If that chick knew anything, we'd be in cuffs already.

With her alive, they can still build a case circumstantially.

We need to tie this up.

Here. Take a more direct approach.

It's completely untraceable. Give it a shot.

So you're responsible for my safety?

Yes.

Oh, this is scary and exciting.

I feel like Whitney Houston in the bodyguard.

I'm not Kevin Costner.

Sure you are.

After a big Thanksgiving meal.

Cameras stay on 24-7.

They were installed about two months ago on what was a blind spot in the garage.

That's a good thing.

That's what I saw.

Carol Schott was here a few times.

She wanted to see security tapes for the P2 level and also for the 23rd floor.

Where does Frank Murdoch have his offices?

Same floor.

That's interesting because when we sent a memo to the tenants about the new

cameras, he came looking for the same tapes.

He wanted the one that Miss Schott got excited about.

What was on it?

What was on it?

Just people parking cars, but I guess I must have missed something.

One more question.

Sure.

Who painted your parking garage?

Yes, I agree.

Sure. Okay.

Bye.

Your English is very good.

Have I told you that?

Let's go back to your apartment.

Okay.

Natalie, I need you to be my bait.

Bait?

Like for fishing.

To catch the bad guys.

Really?

You

got my back?

Don't worry about it. We got you.

Careful.

This

bait thing, how exactly does it work?

You don't have to do anything except stay with me.

I can do that.

Can I see your hand?

Wow.

Has anyone ever read your palm?

No.

You have a very long lifeline.

Sammo! L.A.P.D. Drop your gun.

You're outnumbered. Drop it.

Drop it!

Come on, Kevin. Don't be stupid.

You have no other choice.

Get on your knees.

head. You Anything you say can and

murder. Weapons possession.

Those two alone would put you away for 25 years.

You're also looking at a murder one charge.

I didn't commit any murder.

Then help us out.

You're alone at the table, Kevin, and you're stuck with the tab.

The price of your freedom is Frank Murdock.

I can't give him to you.

He'd give you up in a second.

Think it over.

Even if I gave him to you, he'd tie you in legal knots.

Not based on your testimony, he wouldn't.

Carroll's shot was an accident.

Right.

Don't throw away your life for this guy, Kevin.

What do I have to do?

Good morning, gentlemen.

Didn't you people learn anything in Police 101?

You can't question a suspect without his attorney present.

Come on, Murdock.

You know as well as I do it's your client's choice.

Well, I'm here now.

Kevin.

Now or never.

If you have any questions for my client, direct them to me.

Come on, Kevin. Turn this guy in. We can make a deal.

Bond's been posted.

This interview is over.

We're leaving.

I'm sorry, Grace.

I gotta go. We're leaving.

We've still got more legal options than you can shake a stick at.

You're kidding me, right?

You really believe you can get me out of this twisted mess?

Complicated is good when you're on the defense.

There's nothing better than a confused jury.

I'm not your fool, Frank.

You're not giving me over.

No.

I'm going to Peru.

To the Andes.

And there's nothing you can do about it.

You got a problem, Earl?

No. No problem.

You remember the Otakon Tower?

445 Ps in six different colors.

Yeah, I remember.

Do you know any of these men?

That one.

And this?

That one.

It's about the gun, isn't it?

Gun?

Yeah.

Saw this guy give a gun to this guy.

Then he gave him an envelope.

Presumably money.

You sure?

Of course I'm sure. I was stuck in that garage for six weeks.

It was like sensory deprivation.

I noticed everything. Why didn't you report this to the police?

I stay out of other people's business.

Unless I'm asked for my opinion.

Thank you. Yeah, yeah.

Melanie, based on the signed painter's ID, we move.

Here are the murder warrants for Kevin Seidel and...

Lieutenant, line five. Gotcha.

Winship.

Yeah, lieutenant.

We can scratch Murdoch. He's dead.

Killed in his beautiful black limousine.

Any sign of Kevin?

No, no sign of Kevin.

He's still M.I.A. No sign.

I know where we can find him.

Hurry up, Kevin! Grab your stuff.

You owe me!

Go and get me!

Ah!

Ah! Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah! That smells wonderful.

I love to cook.

How long do you think it would take me to get a black belt?

Maybe tomorrow.

No, come on, I'm serious.

Sure. You can buy a nice one from Gucci.

No, I want to earn it.

I want you to teach me some more stuff.

Martial arts is not about belts.

It's about what's here and here.

Well, then, maybe you could teach me how to pummel someone with my jumper cables.

What do you think?

You do that next year.

Oh, no.

I forgot dessert.

No problem. I have more in the car.

Okay, so what should I do? Like a high kicker?

A rotten chunk? No. No, no, no.

Sorry, man.

It's so funny. Whatever.

It's fine. Do you have a cleaning lady?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.
