Hector, how much is the new fuel pump going to cost?

Come on, I'm your cousin.

And no, I don't expect you to do it for free.

Hey, I'm here.

Fine. When can I pick it up?

Okay. I said okay.

Wow, having fun, I see.

Lend me a million dollars, I can pay you back in a million years.

Oh yeah, I'll just check with my business manager.

Tell me a story.

Papi, Grandma's going to be here any minute, and Jenny has to drive me to

Please? Oh, come on. There's always time for a quickie.

How about Little Red Riding Hood?

That's for babies. Oh, just hush up and listen.

Okay. Once upon a time, there was a cop named Little Red.

Little Red did patrol in the hood, which is a real funky part of town.

What's funky?

Um, nasty.

Anyway. Little Red was looking for this real ugly dude named Big Bad Wolf

because he was robbing elderly ladies in the park. He was stealing their social

security checks.

Why? Can I just tell the story, please?

Thank you. Okay.

So one day, Little Red decided to set a trap.

So she disguises herself as an elderly lady. We're talking cane, orthopedic

shoes, everything.

Oh, Grandma's here.

Come on, Mom.

Oh, okay.

That night, Little Red is walking through the park when who should appear

the Big Bad Wolf.

My, my, says the wolf. What a large, heavy purse you have with lots of lovely

cash. Hand it over.

The predator rests you with, said Little Red. And instead of cash, he pulls out

her nine -millimeter service automatic.

Ginny. What happened?

Little Red arrest the Big Bad Wolf, and he went to jail.

Right.

But not before Big Bad Wolf went for his piece. Luckily, Little Red was quicker,

and she blew the Big Bad Wolf's hairy butt to smithereens.

Thanks a lot, Jen.

They all lived happily ever after. Let's go.

Hey, Theodore.

Hi. Hey. What happened to you?

Mugged. Captain Amazing here decided to defend his wallet and laptop to the

death. It didn't work, but you've got to admire the effort.

My whole life was on that laptop.

Oh, sad commentary.

Did you see his face?

White male, 18 to 22, shaved head, baggy clothes, dagger, tattoo on his

wrist.

I mean, he caught me by surprise, you know.

Could have taken him.

It happened.

You know, you really should see a doctor. We can do this later. No. No, I

to nail this guy before he wipes out my hard drive.

You're a cold, tough guy.

We should go out sometime.

Pay attention.

I am.

Theodore, how many times have you asked me out?

Three or four. And what have I said each and every time? Thanks, but no thanks.

Just making sure I didn't dream it.

Dinner. Teddy, this is bordering on sexual harassment. You know, there are

Well, I swear no laws will be broken, okay? No good ones, anyway.

Well, why not?

Look, you are a nice guy.

And let's just leave it at that, okay?

That's him.

Yeah? Yeah.

Got it.

We're on our way.

Domestic disturbance.

Why are they calling us?

It's a cop.

Potential. One of ours.

Mr.

Constantis. Hey, Steve, how you doing?

Nice to see you. This is Magda Ramirez, my partner. I told you about her.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Very good status. What a cake.

You ever done security work before, Inspector?

Every day, on the job.

I love cops.

Well, this is a little different.

You wouldn't be here as an officer of the law, per se.

You and the other guys walk the floor, give directions, maybe answer a few

questions. Be there in case anything goes down.

Normally, usually it runs pretty smooth. But even so, we got a lot of valuable

firearms here, and we don't want to take any chances. I understand.

Let's give it a try.

I pay cash every day when we shut down.

Start tonight, 7 o 'clock, when we open.

Tonight? Um, can I get back to you on that?

Call my office.

I need to know by 3 or you're out.

What else are you doing tonight?

Nothing.

I thought you needed the money.

I do.

I need the money, and I appreciate you doing this for me. I mean, I know these

gigs are hard to come by. I'm just... I'm just thinking about Ben, you know?

I work long enough hours as it is. If I spend another four or five nights here,

he's going to forget what I look like. It's temporary.

It's a great paycheck. You're doing it for Ben. I know.

What kind of people come to these things anyway?

Constanze runs a clean operation.

Can you stop being a cop for three seconds?

How does that work?

According to Mrs. Williams here, Eddie's been drinking.

Where is he now?

Probably still in the den. I got out. Did he force his way in? Was there any

physical contact?

I opened the door. He pushed past me.

Look, he's armed.

When was the divorce final?

Six months ago.

He's done this before, twice.

I didn't get a restraining order because I knew the department would have to

pull Eddie off the street and that he'd kill him.

It's not his house anymore.

The son of a bitch left me.

I understand.

We'll take care of it.

How well do you know this guy?

Not that well. He and my ex -partner Dick used to hang out some, but I didn't

know that he'd split from his wife.

He's a good cop.

Hey, Eddie.

C .D., what are you doing here?

Got a call.

Bunch of bull.

Who's this?

It's my partner.

You've seen her around the precinct.

Hi, Eddie.

I was real sorry about Dick, C .D.

He was stand -up all the way. I don't know if I ever told you.

Thanks.

You know, when I bought this house, Lauren and me thought we'd, uh...

figured we'd have some kids.

Didn't work out.

Lauren's outside.

She's pretty upset.

Patio out back? I built that myself.

Brick by brick.

Spa, a lot of overtime there.

Yeah.

Know how it is?

We need your weapon, Eddie.

Just until we're outside.

What the hell?

What the hell is this? Eddie?

Nothing. How many times on the job you caught a call on a domestic situation?

It must be a hundred.

More. So you know the drill.

Sure.

Most dangerous call you can take.

Keep the lid on.

Get everyone talking.

Don't box people in. Give them a place to go.

That's right.

So where do we go from here?

I don't know anything anymore.

So what'll happen?

Are you pressing charges?

No.

Then probably some kind of disciplinary action within the department.

Are you okay?

I've been a cop's wife for 15 years. How could I not be okay?

This can't happen again.

They're new.

On the afternoons.

I haven't seen you before.

I got off early.

Take a look at it.

It's beautiful.

I think we can make that work, right?

You know, you can't go wrong.

How we doing?

Hi. Does that look wrong to you over there?

What?

A few good guns.

I've been watching that guy all night.

He does his sheriff bills, but sometimes with the customers that seem really

interested, he just hands them a business card. So maybe he's got a store

somewhere and he's drumming up business.

Yeah, but he writes something on it.

Maybe you have a change of address.

Maybe.

Is he running his background checks on the people he's selling guns to?

Yeah. Then he's legal.

I'll write a name down for you on the back.

It's just for, uh... It's just for Lucas, okay?

Okay, thanks.

Oh, that is, uh, AK -47, Kalashnikov. Uh, creme de la creme of guns.

Absolutely.

Stainless steel barrel. Feel the grip on that. You feel that?

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Hi. I'll take it.

Okay. What does that girl need with a weapon like that?

That's her business.

Excuse me, miss.

Is there a problem? Probably not.

Can I see your ID, please?

ID's rejected.

The door officer on there is.

Very. It's all right. Doesn't hurt to be sure.

Lydia, can I ask what you're buying this weapon for?

No, actually, you can't.

Sorry for the intrusion.

Her ID says 22, and she barely looks 18.

Give us some credit. The ID's phony. We'll know soon enough.

The NICS will tell us for sure.

ID checks out.

There you go.

Okay.

It's okay. He'll get over it. I'm not worried about him.

So all Eddie gets is a slap on the wrist.

She didn't press charges.

No, but we could ask.

Resisting arrest, breaking and entering, public intoxication.

But we won't, right? Because he's a cop? Because he put in a lot of good years.

He's going through a tough time right now, and I think he deserves some slack.

know the pressures of the job.

Well, you'd hold us to a higher standard. I hold myself to a higher

So do you.

What did Daniel say to you the first time you told him you wanted a career in

law enforcement?

Are you sure?

Were you?

Jury's still out.

What did Paul say?

Guilty as charged.

Not half bad.

Looks like a new fuel pump to me.

You have to get right home. We should celebrate. Yeah, Ben might wait up.

Might? He's up.

Steve! Shut up and get in the car. Why did you do it? You don't get it, do you?

I had to.

It's done.

What was that about?

I wish I knew.

What's with that van?

I don't know. Let's take a look.

Yeah, I know that.

I'll catch.

SFPD, sir?

Hey! Hey!

Don't you ever get moving!

Turn the engine off and pull the keys out the window now!

Now!

What is it?

Inversion kit.

Convert these into full automatic weapons.

Is that for encoding?

Captain was.

Instructions and everything.

Twelve easy steps.

A child could do it.

You know, possession of or intent to sell a pet of this kind, designed to

convert a legal sporting rifle into an illegal assault rifle, is punishable by

prison term not to exceed ten years and a fine of $250 ,000.

That's for each count.

What do we do?

She's trying to panic you.

It's working.

I want every converted weapon and kit sold by your client off the street.

every single one.

If he wants to help us recover the weapons before additional crimes are

committed with them, I will ask the DA to reduce the charge to one count and

waive the fine. That's the best you're going to get.

Go to jail?

Yeah, you do.

Assuming my client cooperates, upon his release from jail, we'd like his license

to sell firearms reinstated.

You're joking.

Sam?

Excuse me.

Yeah, go ahead.

What's going on? Where were you last night? Two guns sold with these

kits. Come on.

Well, he has every reason to tell the truth.

I told you we made an arrest after the show.

You and her.

That's right, my partner. Come on.

We got the name of the first buyer off the check, Mr. Nicholas Morrison.

While you're over there, I'll...

Twist some arms, see if I can get the security tape from inside the gun shop.

Get our ex -gun dealer to help us ID the second buyer.

I think it was a couple of college guys in that date jacket.

Anyway, then you'd like me to wrap this up pretty quick.

Got a break when you saw that woman in the parking lot.

I want to talk to her again, too.

Pull her address off the NICF.

Don't. Get it.

Everything squared away.

Yeah? How about you?

Let's just go.

Hey, forward!

Number five.

You sure?

Yeah, check his knuckles. He probably bruised them while he was pounding on my

face.

Number five.

Tony Williamson, 21.

Robbery, ag assault, assault with intent.

List goes on.

All I want is my laptop back.

Wow, Theodore, you're a victim and a prosecutor. You're supposed to be

for this guy's blood.

That's not my style.

Soft -hearted ADA.

Hold the front page.

You know, you're always poking fun at me. Why is that?

You're such an easy target.

That's all, babe.

Because it's my style.

I think you're trying to impress me.

Really?

You're attracted to me.

I'm the one who keeps turning you down. How impressive is that?

I won't give up.

Come back later and sign your complaint.

Not happening.

He's cute.

You go out with him.

What's the problem?

Too educated.

Loves his fellow man. No visible tattoos.

Body art, if tastefully done, can be very appealing.

Two weeks suspension.

I need your gun on my desk now.

I got it drunk, Captain. No big deal.

Four of my officers were forced to respond to a situation created by you.

We're cops.

It's supposed to be the solution, not the problem.

I'll appeal the suspension.

You're sick, Eddie.

Don't.

Take the break. You need it. We all get ragged sometimes.

What I need is to keep working.

Dr. Brower, apartment therapist.

I can't force you, but I recommend it.

Get away from me.

She's only trying to help.

I don't need a lesson from you. You type your little reports, but stay the hell

out of my life. Or else what?

She's got guts.

Like them.

I don't know about an hour.

Stanley and I went to the show, but we didn't buy a rifle.

Stanley was in the army in Korea, you know.

What about after the show, Mrs. Morrison?

Did you or your husband purchase a military -style weapon from a dealer

operating outside of his van? A van?

Of course not.

We have enough guns in this house already? Honey, who are you talking to?

Who's this?

They're with the police, Stan.

Inspectors. Yes, I'm Inspector Ramirez. This is my partner, Peter Toriano.

Nice to meet you.

Someone said we bought a gun at the show.

An illegal weapon.

No, that's dead wrong.

That's a mistake.

Sir, you keep guns in the house.

That was mine. I carry that in the wallet.

The rest of these are all souvenirs that I picked up overseas.

If time goes by, that's all you have left to show for a wallet.

Souvenirs.

My father was in Korea towards the end. It was no picnic.

I tell you, we had a job to do. We did it.

You wrote a check to a gun dealer for $1 ,500, Mr. Morrison.

I sure did.

They don't

work, of course, but once I...

Once I saw them, I just had to have them.

I encouraged him. He never buys anything for himself.

Are you all right, ma 'am?

I get headaches. The pills help.

I didn't mean to mislead you, inspectors, but these hardly qualify as

Back in basic, we had a drill sergeant used to say that an unloaded gun is no

better than a rock.

We can try for a search warrant.

If we believe the dealer more than we believe them.

They don't seem like the type.

Then again, I don't see our dealer selling box commandments.

How

would

you like to work hard your whole life, finally retire and end up back living in

a war zone?

Stanley, the officers are back.

They knew.

We stepped away from the guy. Stanley, they told me you could go to prison.

It's a full order.

Morrison, you're under arrest.

Even on that next door.

It was more to have it.

Just to feel safe.

of city ordinance against noise pollution.

Here you go.

This is for the broken glass, creating a public hazard.

Clean it up, pay the fine, or a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest.

My partner and I will be back in two days. Any inoperable vehicles found

off the street will be impounded. Got it? It's not fair. You don't know how

lucky you are.

It's Eddie again.

He's in there with her.

We got a 911 call. He asked for you.

Eddie, it's CD.

Put him down.

Shut the door.

I swear I'll do it.

Eddie. Fit.

On the floor.

You're hurting her. She's fine.

No, she's not.

She won't move, will you, Lorna?

She promises.

Kick those guns over here.

Can't do that, Eddie.

First law of the street cop, never surrender your weapon.

Captain, have our butt.

Suspending me wasn't right.

Well, the captain didn't have a choice. Neither did I.

She went by the book.

How come you never tried for Inspector, Eddie?

Listen, Eddie, I have an idea about the guns. Can I tell you? Go ahead.

We, my partner and I, we pull the clips, but we keep the guns.

That way they're in our possession, but they're no threat to you or anyone else.

You could have a round in the chamber.

I guess that's okay.

Now what?

We should probably call in.

Tell them that everyone's cool here and no one's hurt.

Don't try to set me up.

I said shut up!

You know, she's doing the guy from across the street.

The guy used to tell me it made him feel safe to have a cop living in the

neighborhood.

I figured that's between you and Lorna.

Hey. I heard.

Yeah.

Situation is stable so far.

They can take care of themselves.

What?

Nothing.

Just from the mugging.

Okay, well, take it from me, Theodore. You are one terrible liar.

Okay.

I got a tattoo.

Probably the stupidest thing I've ever done. Don't ask me why.

A tattoo?

Body art, if done tastefully, can be very appealing.

You did this to impress me?

To get me to go out with you?

Hey, maybe I'm just a wild and unpredictable kind of guy.

Why, are you impressed?

A little.

Dinner?

A drink.

One drink.

Deal.

I got it.

Thanks. The dealer picked out the other buyers off the security tape. Captain

sent some other people down to the college to put some names with their

Your book's student IDs?

Mm -hmm.

Meanwhile, they got the girl's address off the NICS form.

The woman legally bought the gun.

Oh.

I know you got a feeling.

That's right. And as my partner, you should know my feelings are never wrong.

Except when they are.

Rarely. You're my hero.

I mean it.

What's this about?

The dealer you bought your rifle from was arrested for selling illegal

Did he mention anything to you about a conversion kit for your firearm?

No. What is that?

Is the gun here?

Well, can I see it?

Sure. I keep it in the closet.

Let me get it, Lydia.

In there.

It's okay.

You seem uncomfortable with the gun, Lydia. I was wondering why you bought

Home protection.

There have been some break -ins in the neighborhood.

I know it's probably more than I needed, but I wanted something that would

frighten people off.

Problem is, it frightened me off.

You know, maybe this is none of my business, Lydia.

But we saw you in the parking lot the other night.

You were with somebody and you were crying.

It was my boyfriend.

He got angry that I had spent so much money on a gun.

He hates guns.

And we had a fight.

But it's all right now.

Hey, I want the perimeters pushed way back. I got it. The news crews are going

to be here any minute. And I don't want the address out on the radio where it

can be scanned. Where are they?

In the den. We've got the neighbors outside Zambia.

Officer Lorenzo and Reed?

Nothing since the first call.

Damn,

we should have anticipated this. Come on, Captain. We all know Eddie.

Here, Captain.

CD's wired.

Come with me.

Why don't you let her go?

You don't need her. You've got us.

No one's going anywhere.

I'm thirsty.

If you let Lorna loose, she could go to the kitchen and bring us all back

something to drink.

She'd run off.

Not if she gave a word.

And then afterwards she could leave. Like my partner said, you got the two of

us. All she had to do was wait for me.

I would have come back to her.

Not like this.

Eddie, you really don't want to hurt Lorna. You don't know what I want.

Do you?

Because, Eddie, if you don't, we could be here for a very long time.

Lorna, you would give us your word, right?

I get the drinks and then I can go?

That's the plan.

If Eddie says it's okay.

All right, let's go. Come on. Come on.

I got it.

Anything yet?

Still in there.

You'll be okay.

So you guys been busy machine gunning beer cans out at the county dump, huh?

guys know beer cans don't shoot back, right?

Your parents must be proud.

We didn't do anything wrong.

We didn't hurt anybody.

Not yet.

What'll happen to us?

You're gonna be charged with possession of an illegal weapon.

We weren't the only ones. What others?

There's a guy.

Leave him when we got to the van.

He bought a kit, too.

And a gun?

Just a kit.

What did he look like?

He was wearing work clothes, like from a gas station or something.

And a baseball cap.

Lady, his boyfriend.

He's been acting crazy since they fired him from the warehouse.

They said that he had been stealing, and he said that he hadn't, and I don't

know what to believe.

He can't even find steady work, and he's on probation.

Is that why he had you by the gun?

We couldn't afford it, but he wouldn't listen to me.

He said he'd leave me.

He got so angry when he had heard that you had been to the house, and he did

something with his tools to the gun, and then he just left with it.

Where did he go, Lydia?

Back to his old job.

I'm scared.

You got a shot?

Good enough.

Don't hurt him.

Well,

they're not going to hurt him, right?

Stay down.

Back off. Get away from her.

Get away from her.

So where's this going to end, Eddie?

They must be getting anxious outside.

They won't come in.

Not as long as they think you're safe.

You're probably right.

Can I have some of that juice? Is it too cold?

It would be.

Wait for my signal.

Anything?

We don't know what's gone bad.

I won't wait to hear a shot.

You'd shoot him? Another cop?

We do what we have to do.

Eddie.

Eddie, put the gun on me.

Eddie, put the gun on me and let her go.

I'll put my gun down, I swear.

You're lying.

I have never lied to you.

Go on, get out of here.

I'm staying.

Eddie, I'm going to put my gun down.

Get the hell out.

No, I'm staying.

Why didn't you shoot?

You had me.

Don't put this on me or anyone else. You make your own decisions.

But there are people out there who care what happens. You remember that.

You all right?

Let me see.

No more gun shows.

No more gun shows.

Okay.

We just needed the extra money. I just... I was so... Hey, it's not your

You didn't do anything wrong.

So why do you think

Eddie walked out on his marriage in the first place?

The marriage wasn't the problem.

Eddie was.

I think he was going over the edge and he just didn't want to take the lead.

He keeps talking about marriage.

You and Paul are still married.

Yeah.

So, how did you know what it was really about in there?

I've seen it before.

Another cop.

I haven't felt that way myself. You just stop caring. Or you care too much.

There's too many questions and no answers.

One day it just seems easier to end it.

A lot of cops get like that, but they don't always feel like eating their gun

someone else's. Some of them don't have a gun.

I think it takes guts not to.

So what's the solution when the dark thoughts creep in?

Someone to talk to.

Partners.

Hey, champ.

Hi, Pete.

Did you catch the bad guys today?

Yes and no.

That's not a very good answer.

Yeah, well, that's the only answer I got right now, baby.

And guess what?

This is your bedtime.

Tell me a story.

Oh, Ben.

Mommy's awfully tired.

You know what? I want to finish Jimmy's story. Little Red Riding Hood? Mm -hmm.

It's finished.

Big Bad Wolf got his butt blown off. Ben!

That's not all there was to it.

First of all, Big Bad Wolf was not alone in the world.

Okay? He had parents and maybe some brothers and sisters, and even though he

some really bad things, they still loved him. They felt terrible when he got

shot.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah. Little Red was a good cop.

She was trying to do her job and keep the park safe.

She felt very bad, too.

She was thinking, You know how awful it must be to have to shoot somebody, you

know, and have a sharp piece of metal go into their body? Can you imagine that?

Yeah, it hurts a lot. That's right, yeah.

So from then on, every time Little Red had to put her gun on to go to work,

she'd think, oh, God, please don't make me use this.

And don't let anything happen to me.

Okay?

Go brush your teeth.

Now we're here.

I'd kind of like to hear Jenny's version.

She drives me crazy sometimes.

It's good to see you laugh.

After a day like today.

You want me to go?

So, where are we going?

Here we go.

Voila.

A hood picnic.

You really shouldn't have.

Me and you, you really shouldn't have.

Uh, well, I didn't know what you wanted, so I...

So, uh, what's your tattoo of?

Oh, I'm not gonna tell you.

I might show you, if the mood is right. Oh, no.

Just one drink.

That's all.

What are you... What are you so afraid of?

You're afraid I'll break your heart.

Teddy, I would roll over you like Grant took Richmond.

It's a moth.

What? My tattoo.

It's a gypsy one.

Are you impressed?

Don't fly too near the flame, Counselor.

Showtime!
