Original subtitles

In all tribal cultures, every village had a sentinel.

Now, a sentinel is chosen because of a genetic advantage.

A sensory awareness that can be developed beyond normal humans.

Your time spent in Peru has got to be connected with what's happening to you

now.

I've got hundreds of documented cases of one or two hyperactive senses, but not

one single subject with all five.

You could be the real thing.

Go, wait up.

Let's get some pizza.

High of death?

No way, man.

All right.

How about Mexico?

Why don't you just shoot the large straight into your vein? Come on.

Hey, Sandberg, have you noticed a sudden drop off in the amount of people

that'll eat with you? I can't believe this. Why do they always get the busiest

time of the day to work on the streets?

You know, I'm going to email the public works commissioner. Just tell him night

work only.

Run by insomniac road crews. I mean, that's the only solution, right?

I can't believe this. Look, it's the middle of the day.

Oh, shoot.

Get you some backup and get your butt off the street. It may not be in that

order.

Nice hose job.

You think my insurance agent's going to call this an act of God?

This is all for a bank robbery?

Come on.

Look at all this stuff. They got machine guns, assault rifles, rocket launchers.

Yeah, MP5, assault pistol right here. This is Army Special Forces issue.

Check this one out here.

Armor -piercing bullets.

You know, Simon...

You put this ton of weaponry in the hands of a paramilitary or terrorist

I mean, they could take down an airline.

Level the city block.

Hey,

Chief.

Look, there's no reason to be ashamed if you're feeling a little queasy, all

right? I mean, shock is your body's way of protecting itself.

Shock? Yeah.

I am way beyond shock, man. I am like...

Energized.

Say what?

I mean, it was the wildest thing, Jim. I mean, there I was, all alone.

Me against those bank robbers. And the next thing I knew, I just, I just, just

got into action. I mean, it was just, ah, it was so wild.

Maybe we should, uh, maybe we should get you one. I mean, now I know what it's

like to be you.

I mean, not the enhanced senses part, but that reptilian brain, that primal

survival of the fittest.

I'll drive, Conan. Come on, give me the keys.

Simon, the getaway driver, we collared.

Made a deal.

Claims they bought the guns from a guy named Armando.

Where'd the deal go down?

Old meatpacking plan on McKenzie.

Great, I'll notify SWAT. We can roll in 15 minutes.

Well, uh... What?

A couple of transients already found our suspect for us.

Shot twice in the head.

Who is it?

Armando Escalosa.

Forensics went through the play. No weapons, just this.

Nine millimeter.

This is the kind of military uses.

Right.

What about the late Armando? Any leads?

Works for a guy named Hector Carrasco. He's a Chilean expatriate who lives on

estate outside of town.

Carrasco checks out clean, but he's got a federal file.

And it's sealed.

Close the door. You're letting in the cold air.

Slides of chill can ruin my orchids.

Can I help you?

I'm Captain Banks. This is Detective Ellison, Cascade PD.

The police? Is something wrong?

We're here to talk to you about your caretaker, Mr.

Armando Escolosa.

I fired Armando last month for stealing.

Some of my daughter's jewelry was missing. If you find him, I'd like them

That's going to be a little difficult, sir. Mr. Escalosa is dead.

I see.

How unfortunate.

Do you know of any relatives that we could notify?

None I'm aware of, sorry.

Did you file a report?

For the missing jewelry?

Oh, no, it wasn't worth much. The value was mostly sentimental.

How about your daughter, sir? Is she here? Can we speak with her?

Maya's in classes today at the university, but I'm certain she couldn't

anything else.

Nice work. It must be difficult to find soil with the proper amounts of

potassium, nitrates, and sulfates, huh?

Not really. There was a lot of volcanic activity in this area.

I guess you could always mix in gunpowder, huh?

I've never heard of that before.

Well, if there's anything else you could think of that might be of any help to

us, please give me a call.

Of course, sir.

Blanca will show you how?

Yes, sir. Thank you very much, sir.

Hey, Jim, what's up? We've got to make this quick because my research group

meets in 15 minutes.

I need your help on a case.

Cool, because ever since that armored car thing, I have been so pumped, so

flying on adrenaline. There's a guy named Hector Carrasco. We suspect he

supplied the weapons for that heist.

And if I'm right, Carrasco is the biggest illegal arms dealer in the

So you need some, like, Major League backup, right? Well, actually, his

is a student here, and we need you to check her out.

His daughter?

Yeah.

I figured maybe you could get to know her a little bit, you know, chat her up,

find out some things about her old man discreetly.

She's got a class in the library in a few minutes. You can start now.

No, no, no. Jim, come on. You've got to get me into action here. You can't waste

my amps interviewing some clueless little exchange student.

I wouldn't say clueless applies here, Chief.

Is that her?

Anyway, I can get somebody else. No, no, no, no, no. Jim, Jim.

It's okay. It's okay.

I got this one. Got your back, all right?

Can't let my partner down, can I?

Spokane, Washington, last night.

Three punks armed with a grenade launcher tried to take out a passenger

that they thought was carrying a payroll.

Three dead and 13 injured.

Well, the whole deal just gets more twisted, Simon.

The weapons used in that armored car job, they had their serial numbers

So forensics managed to pull one.

The FBI reports that the gun was made in North Carolina for the Army.

The Army has no record of it ever being shipped to them.

All right, Jim, look, I know you're not going to like this, but the chief just

called. ATF has sent out an agent to work with us. Oh, no, sir. No.

The last thing I need is some glory -minded fed screwing up my case here.

done deal.

Sorry, man.

Sir.

Can I help you?

The other one looks like he needs help.

Just trying to get my... My lunch.

Maybe we could share it.

I don't eat junk food.

Well, you should try it.

Kind of grows on you.

Can you tell me where I can find Detective Ellison?

I'm Agent Dren in ATF. You're a fat.

Don't worry, I can taint you.

Ellison.

Ellison. I haven't seen him in quite some time.

Pardon me.

Jim, good.

I see you found Detective Ellison.

Come in.

Hi.

I'm Maya Carrasco.

Hi. Hi, how you doing? I'm Blair Sandberg.

I wasn't expecting you till later.

Pleasure to meet you.

So I guess I work for you now?

I'm sorry, is there a problem?

No, I'm just not used to being traded from one professor to another like a

car.

Oh, no, no, not being traded.

Borrowed, maybe, but not traded. I'm sorry, I didn't think that you'd object.

It's just that I needed someone good, and Dr.

Kingsford said that you were his best assistant.

But hey, you know, you don't want to work for me.

I understand.

No, I just like to be asked, that's all.

Okay.

Then I'm asking.

Would you please be my... Oh.

My research assistant.

All right.

Okay. Yeah?

Yeah. Good.

As you can see, I'm kind of sloppy.

Anything you can do to help me with these files would be great.

Will you ever...

Consider filing cabinet?

Filing cabinet?

Oh, all right. What a concept.

Look at that. You're already irreplaceable.

I'll need all of your files and interrogation tapes.

Also, names and addresses of any contacts or informants you may have used

case. Let me tell you something, Brennan.

My informant file is confidential.

I'll remind you. This is now a federal investigation.

any bull, and I'll make a call to my boss. Who'll call your chief? Who will

call your boss?

Oh, yeah.

This is gonna be a lot of fun.

Happy reading.

Hector Carrasco's one of your suspects?

Yeah, why, do you know him? Whoever he is.

Well, then maybe you can tell me why he has a sealed federal file. If I did, it

wouldn't be sealed, would it?

leaving among the come -by -tree people of Irian Jaya?

Oh, yeah.

It was really, really wild.

You see, I was the first westerner that they had ever seen, and they thought

that I was a lilejo, an evil spirit disguised as a white man.

Oh, and how did you change your mind?

You see, there they were. They had these bows with these barbed arrows pointed

at me, and, uh... Well, I freaked out. I panicked, and I... Turned and tripped

and fell flat on my face in the mud.

That's what they started to do. They started to laugh and they figured if I

that uncoordinated, I couldn't be much of a threat.

But there are houses, you know, there are hundreds of feet up in the sky.

The top of these jungle trees so they could see the mountains and the birds.

Keep the sorcerers away.

It was like living in the sky.

That sounds really beautiful.

Transcendent.

Yeah. Excuse me, sir.

I just talked to a friend of mine in the treasuring department.

Check this out.

Carrasco's real name is Julio Esteban. Apparently he was a gun runner to the

conscience of the CIA.

You're kidding me, right? I kid you not, sir. The other thing I found, it was

Carrasco.

Your friend just broke federal law, detective.

I'll need her name.

Doe.

Jane Doe.

At least that's the name that she gave me.

Fine. I'll have my office check the phone records for major crimes for the

Treasury Department.

Drennan, do you get some perverse pleasure out of pissing people off?

Captain? Yeah. Uh, Ellison, one of your snitches just called. Uh, foul?

Since he's got some impointing weapons case, why don't you meet him at the

place in an hour?

Hi.

Here's the word, man. There's a big supply of guns coming into Cascade this

by boat.

A fishing trawler. Which trawler?

I don't know.

Okay, okay, I know the name of the buyer. His name's Fujinaka... Fukuro?

No, no, it's not.

Something like that.

Do you hear the name Carrasco mentioned?

Uh -uh, no.

All right, Sal, give me a call if you find out anything else, okay? Find out

what you can, but listen to me.

You'd be cool. You don't draw attention to yourself. You got that?

All right.

Cool. Cool. Thank you.

That's it?

Got a problem doing it? Hey, Sal!

Hey!

What was that all about?

I told him to find out the name of the ship and gave him 500 as a down payment.

What are you, stupid?

You gave Sal $500.

The most I ever lay out for him is $50.

A guy like Sal is going to self -destruct over that kind of money.

feel appreciated and work his ass off to get what I want.

So what happens when I want some information and all I have is $50?

Guess you'll be $450 short.

Oh, wow.

A Benitez.

When I was in Brazil, I saw some of his works at an exhibition at the National

Museum.

They claim he collected plants from the rainforest to make his colors.

And that's why no one has ever been able to match his vibrancy.

Not many Americans know Benitez.

Oh, it's unfortunate.

His work is brilliant.

Daddy, this is Blair Sandberg.

He's a grad student. I'm working for the university.

Welcome, Mr. Sandberg. How are you doing? Tell me.

What are the South American artists do you admire?

Oh, uh, Ceballos, Ramos, Marín.

Senor Carrasco, we seem to have a small insect problem in the greenhouse.

Thank you, Vargas.

Um, Omarcito, why don't we go and get the rest of the house? Please, excuse

I'll only be a few minutes.

So, this is my insect problem.

He's at the docks, asking questions about guns.

You're shaking, my friend.

Are you afraid?

Make sure... Make sure he tells you

all he knows.

Then remove him from my house.

Then kill him.

Problems just got bigger.

Vice just heard a rumor that we have a power struggle brewing between the local

mob and the Japanese mafia.

The Yakuza? Yeah, the mob warned him. He told the Yakuza kingpin, Furukawa, to

back off or there was going to be a damn war. Wait a second.

The shipment of guns that my informant said was coming in?

The buyer's name sounded Japanese. It's got to be Furukawa.

If the Yakuza try knocking off the mob with military armaments, Cascade's going

to look like Beirut. Excuse me, sir.

Ellison.

back as soon as you can.

How did he die?

He was hacked to death.

Shut it.

Sorry. Guess your money made him a little careless.

Wrong people, wrong questions.

I was just trying to motivate him.

Well, you motivated him right into a body bag.

You happy?

And if those guns hit the street?

How many more people in your city are going to die?

Look, I'm sorry about Sal, but we need information.

Right. Right. The trouble is, Drennan, I don't see any information. All I see is

a corpse.

My Blair.

I gotta go to class.

I'll see you tonight?

Your office at 7 o 'clock.

7?

Sandberg.

Hi, uh, Jim.

Maya, this is my friend Jim.

Jim, this is Maya.

Hi.

Are you a grad student, too?

Uh, no. Actually, Jim is a researcher, and I'm helping him out with a project

human behavior.

Wow, that sounds interesting.

I gotta go to class.

Nice to meet you, Jim.

I'll see you later.

See you later?

That's not what you think.

Okay, okay, okay, it is what you think, but I did find out about her father.

I mean, the guy loves his daughter.

He collects art.

And he grows orchids.

And he also has people killed.

What? That's crazy.

Come on. This morning, one of my informants turned out dead.

We found some soil samples on his clothes.

Same type of soil that Carrasco uses to grow his organs.

Come on, what does that mean? I mean, you can get that stuff anywhere, right?

Carrasco was involved, it's possible that Maya's involved, too.

No, no, no, no. That is impossible, man.

Sandberg, I just don't want to see you put in danger.

Jim, just leave it alone, okay?

What's this?

It's dinner.

I made it at home, and I warmed it up in your microwave.

This is incredible. Why?

Well, because it's nice.

Wow,

that...

That was amazing.

It's not over yet.

There's more?

This is a very special pastry.

It's called milhojas.

Wow, look at this. Hey.

You can't feed yourself.

The tradition is that I have to feed you.

I've never heard of that tradition.

Really?

Well, that's because I just made it up.

Okay. Now you have to feed me.

Okay.

You know, the first time

that my mother ever cooked for my father, she made this pastry.

It's a very special pastry.

Once you're very special.

You never talk about your mother.

She died when I was very young in a writing accident.

I'm sorry.

I don't really remember her very well.

But my father says I look a lot like her.

What does your father do in Chile?

As he does here, he imports and exports things.

What kind of things?

Tools, machinery, stuff like that.

Why did he leave Chile?

Why are you asking so many questions?

I'm curious.

About you, about your family.

I want to know everything about you.

Why?

Because I think I'm falling in love with you.

And I think I'm falling in love with you.

Yeah.

I... I'll never.

I mean, you'd be the first, and...

What?

What's wrong?

Nothing. I just don't think that this is the right night for this.

Why?

Um... It's, uh... Why?

I'm sorry. I got to go.

Captain. Yeah.

Nine commercial trawlers come into port this week. Tonight, the Esmeralda docks.

She's a Chilean registry, and I want to go check her out.

Well, what does Drennan think?

She doesn't.

And I'm not telling her.

All right, Captain. Now, you know what our orders were. Full cooperation. I

understand, sir, but I don't want her to screw this up.

When I find out something, then I'll bring her in.

All right.

But if you're going in alone, make sure you have a backup unit on standby.

Understood. Thank you, sir.

Come on out, Trennan.

How did you know I was out here? You wear too damn much perfume. Now, what

hell are you doing here?

Same as you.

I checked the Port Authority docking schedule and figured that Esmeralda was

most likely suspect for our gun runners.

You find anything?

I just started looking.

We'll look together.

Coffee? Yeah.

There's fries in every bag.

Somebody's coming.

I didn't hear anything.

I'll call from backup.

We won't make a call if we wait. We've got to take them now.

There's at least 15 of them.

I guess they called your bluff.

I'll try looping around the back.

They're going to cut you to pieces. You stay put.

We locked the shipment.

grenade launchers, machine guns.

We even recovered a 40 -millimeter anti -aircraft cannon.

We'll just make sure Forensic takes a look at it before the feds come in and

grab it on him, you know what I mean?

Captain? Yeah?

I strongly suggest you review Ellison's conduct and procedure on this case. Are

you out of your mind, Drennan? I practically saved your damn life, and

got the nerve to... You allowed T's suspect to escape.

I'm filing charges against you for interfering with arrests by a federal

officer. You know, Drennan, It's all of a sudden becoming crystal clear why you

work alone.

Jim, look, I know you don't want to hear this, but you might want to cut the

moment a little slack.

And why is that, sir?

I looked up Drennan's record. She's a good cop.

She's also got a chip on her shoulder the size of a two -by -four and has been

smacking with it ever since she got here.

Jim, Drennan lost her partner last year.

Shoot out.

Died right in front of her.

Even though Drennan was cleared of all responsibilities, her boss tells me that

she still holds herself responsible.

Hey, Jim.

You on TV, man?

Must be that interview from the other day, eh?

Isabel Sharp has the story.

Detective? Isabel Sharp, KCDE News. Could you clarify events for us here?

Yeah, uh, joint operation in the Cascade Police and the Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco, and Firearms uncovered an intense alarm at the city.

A firefight broke out, nine people were arrested, two people killed.

Any comments on reports that the Northwest has been inundated with high

military weapons, which may come from a single source?

All I can tell you is that last night's seizure is part of an ongoing

investigation, which we intend to pursue with every available means. Any police

or ATF?

Welcome, Mr. Furukawa.

We had a contract.

for the delivery of certain equipment.

Obviously, that delivery won't be made.

The situation is under control.

As soon as we can arrange another shipment, you'll have your guns.

Two weeks at most.

Two days, for I want my money back.

It's already been spent to purchase the guns that were seized on the docks.

If a man takes my money, then break the contract.

There's only one other way to settle accounts, Senor Carrasco.

The guns will be delivered by midnight.

Maya,

hi. You lied to me, Blair.

I saw your friend Jim on TV today. He's a policeman.

I need to talk.

All your questions about my past, about my family. What are you, a policeman

too? No.

No, not exactly. Then what? What exactly are you?

I'm not a cop.

But sometimes I do help Jim out in a scientific way.

Oh, so what was I, an experiment?

No.

No, I was asked to get close to you in order to find out about your father.

And what did you tell them? I told them that he was a great guy.

That liked to work in his garden.

But, Maya, everything that happened between you and me, everything that we

shared, that we said, that we felt, that was real.

We can work this out.

No. No.

No, we can't. No.

Come on, Maya, please.

Hey, Jim.

Look, I really don't feel like talking to you right now.

You told Maya.

No, she found out.

I'm sorry.

But I'm right about her father.

The way we figure it, he's been running guns to South American rebels for the

CIA. And it's getting off the top so he can turn around and sell them back to

the States.

We're inches away from making our case here, Chief.

Yeah, that's great.

It's great, man.

But it doesn't help me out any.

I'm falling in love with her, Jim.

I gotta go.

Victor 2 -9, respond to a domestic violence call. 2 -4 -3 -5 -8 Valley

Additional units, please respond.

Corazon.

Que pasa?

Blanca told me you never got to bed last night.

What's the matter?

It's Blair.

He's been spying on us.

He's working with the police.

I didn't know.

Of course you didn't.

Is it true what they say about you?

No, it's lies.

Lies created by those who disapprove of what I did for our country.

There's a phone call for you, Senor Carrasco.

The export company.

Japan.

I'll take it in the greenhouse.

Si, Senor.

future you should be more careful about the friends you choose and what you say

to them you see my job is to protect your father and to handle anyone or

anything that threatens him and that includes your friend and if necessary

I need to see Maya.

She doesn't want to see you.

Since

we

couldn't arrange for the guns to be delivered, we must take them.

But, Senor Carrasco, you're putting our operation at risk.

Senor Carrasco?

It was Furukawa.

He wanted to be reassured the guns would be delivered by tonight.

The men you wanted are ready.

Good. The police will be watching the waterfront, so have them meet at the

warehouse. Get back!

Señor.

The army weapons convoy leaves Fort Brickman at 3 o 'clock.

We got a problem.

What is it, Varga?

We have to hurry. We're going to meet the men at the warehouse first.

But, Senor Carrasco, we have a situation you must deal with first.

You used my daughter to get close to me.

Well, you're close to me now.

Senor Carrasco, wait.

I understand your anger.

But with the police closing in on us and our operation tonight, you may need a

hostage.

All right.

You stay here. Watch over Maya.

Protect her if the police come.

But whatever you do, don't kill him.

I reserve that pleasure for myself.

Si, senor.

It's already been a long day, so if you want to talk, let's do it.

Okay. When I was a rookie, fresh out of the academy, maybe six months, there was

another rookie who was named Delgado.

He was a good friend of mine.

One Friday, we were going across the street to grab a bite to eat.

And right in front of the station, there was this fender bender.

These two guys jump out of their car ready to tear into each other.

So Delgado and I, we go over there to try and cool things down.

What we didn't know was that one of the guys was an escaped felon.

So when Delgado goes over to talk to this guy, he pulls out a gun and he

him. So I pull out mine and we exchange fire.

He misses.

We'll miss.

But that doesn't help Delgado.

Because he's dead.

I spent the next few months just pissed off at the world. Angry,

confrontational. I did some stupid, seriously stupid things.

Because I kept thinking it was my fault.

But I was wrong, because there was nothing I could do.

He was my partner.

You're supposed to protect your partner.

You do your best.

And if it...

All falls apart.

And hopefully you can find some forgiveness.

And you move on.

Because that's all you can do.

Allison. It's Maya Carrasco.

I don't know what to do. My father swore to me that he hadn't done anything

wrong. All right, Maya, slow down. What's going on? My father didn't...

heard him talking.

There's a convoy coming in from Fort Bricklin. Yeah, yeah, that's an army

order here. What else did he say?

He's supposed to be meeting some men at our old warehouse.

It's on Stanford and 12th.

But Detective Blair is here.

Marga took him to the greenhouse.

He's unconscious.

I don't know what to do.

All right, listen to me, Marga. Go into your room and lock the door and do not

come out until I get there, okay?

I'm on my way.

Let's go.

What a tragedy.

Your boyfriend escapes.

I hear your screams, and I find him standing over your body with a machete.

I kill him, but it was too late. My father will know you're lying.

Your father will believe whatever I tell him.

Just as he believed me when I told him that your mother was killing a bull from

a horse.

I said they took Blair to the greenhouse.

Let me go check it out. Cover me.

Should he trust me?

Absolutely.

Okay.

The road bends south, there's a bluff above.

Plenty of cover below.

Move quickly, and you'll take them without any trouble.

Show me the money.

Rest upon delivery.

After nightfall.

Well, anything else?

No, that should be just enough rope to hang it up, will you?

Shoot him!

You shoot me, Officer Miller, you and the rest of your team will be back

a beat.

Yes, sir.

Couple.

All right,

all right.

Admit it, a one -armed woman is of no use in a kitchen.

Here, pour a little bit of the plum wine into the chow mein. Can you handle

that? Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, remember?

Maya. Hi.

Maya.

Hi. I came to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

Going home.

To Chile.

My father in prison.

I just don't feel I belong here anymore, you know?

I don't... I don't want you to go.

No.

I love you.

I love you, too.

But I hate you, too.

I just need time.

I need to find out who I am and what I feel.

I'll be here.

Have you been talking to Drennan?

I have a little Chinese food here, and she's telling me that MSG is an

hallucinogen.

I think she needs some talking to it. Would you straighten around?

Want some noodles?

Not right now, okay, Jim?
