Rule number one, drunk morons can never carry hunting knives to a club. Somebody

always gets stuck. Rule number two, if I step in anything disgusting back here,

I'm taking it out of this guy's hide.

I mean that.

Hey, stop!

Freeze! Freeze!

Freeze!

You want to die tonight, sir?

Drop the knife now.

What are you doing running away from us, huh?

Stupid bar fight.

You want to get yourself shot?

Gary Gold, Merchant Marine.

I'll get you an ambulance soon enough.

Captain, get up here.

Well, looky here.

Well, well, well. That looks like cocaine, Gary. About a kilo of it.

I think maybe I was wrong.

I think if I were you, I would have been running too.

Good morning.

Nate and Ray are still working that cocaine bust. I need you and Magda to

out the guy they arrested, Gary Gould. Apparently he's a ship's captain, works

for an import company.

Okay, so ship's registry, ports of call, anything else we can dig up. You got

it. Thanks.

Something else?

Just a policy question.

Department policy.

Shit.

Well, hypothetically, what would happen if

an inspector came to you and told you

she was pregnant?

I didn't know the inspector was even dating.

Hypothetically. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. She's dating a great guy, actually.

Well, the rule is if the inspector is pregnant, she's immediately placed on

light duty status.

Right in a desk.

Yep. It's a bright line rule.

There's no wiggle room.

She's pregnant. She's off the streets.

Why can't she decide when she's ready to take a desk? I mean, what is this?

The chief's not trust women cops enough to do what's best for their own babies?

It's sexist. It's patronizing. Yeah, I agree.

You do?

Sure. We have little enough control when we're pregnant.

But with morning sickness and all those percolating hormones, the inspector

ought to at least be able to control when she takes a desk.

And she can, as long as she doesn't tell her captain.

She's pregnant until she's ready, right?

Yeah.

Hypothetically, what does the father think?

I'll let you know when I tell him.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a Gary Gold.

Cop, huh?

Yeah, nine years.

And look, I'm really sorry if your cousin's brother -in -law's best friend

bogus speeding ticket back in 1992.

I apologize. A little defensive.

Wow.

Relax. I like cops.

Okay, then.

Anyway, this, uh, this gold, he came in, he had a shoulder injury?

Yeah, I remember him.

He's upstairs on the third floor. Just look for the uniform by the door.

Thank you.

Suzanne. Suzanne.

Hey, it's upstairs, third floor.

Go. Yeah.

Funny thing about that brick of cocaine we found in your car, Gary, that it's 99

.9 % pure.

Coke on the streets is usually 70, 75%. Your stuff, like the song says, that's a

real thing. Uncut, like it's fresh off a boat.

Was it your boat, Captain?

No way.

Somebody must have broken into my car when I was in the club. Somebody put it

there. Really?

Well,

that same somebody must have stopped by your apartment because we found more

coke in your closet than a shoebox.

So that's two keys of coke with your name on them, Gary.

Want to explain that?

I already told you it's not mine.

Okay. Drug trafficking.

That's better than an intensive sell.

It's way better.

You know how much traffickers get, don't you, Gary?

20 years.

Mandatory minimum, no parole. You know, I love the federal system.

And under drug kingpin law, he could get death.

I'm no drug kingpin. I'm just a glorified bus driver.

Well, look, Gary, if you're just bringing this stuff in for somebody

you're just a mule, maybe we can help you out.

If we get a little cooperation here.

You guys, you just don't get it, do you?

There are really bad people involved here. Boo -hoo. Bad. Like what? The

cartel? Colombians? Who?

There are people a lot worse than them, trust me, right here in San Francisco.

You know what happens to informants? Do you know what happens in a supermax

prison?

23 hours a day in a cell with no human contact whatsoever for years on end.

It'd be a shame if just the bus driver went to jail over this, huh, Gary?

Okay, I skim from my boss, okay?

Carl Waxford.

Carl Waxford.

He's got this import business bringing this stuff in from Columbia.

You know what? It comes in on my ship.

I'm going to steal a little taste.

Yeah, so does this Waxford put the stuff out on the street?

No, no, no. He just brings it in from Columbia. There's other people.

Okay, you know what? I'm not saying another thing until I get a deal in

Okay, we'll see what we can do about the time you serve.

No, not just the time.

You've got to protect me.

I'm not saying another thing until I get witness protection.

Well, Gold gave us plenty for a search warrant.

I'm going to call the duty judge.

Excuse me. Can I use your phone, please?

Anything for an officer below.

Thank you.

Suzanne, can you do me a favor?

A pen? Well, it's nothing too painful.

Is there a way to find out when Gary Gold is due to be discharged?

Let me see.

This is Inspector Washington.

We have a credible witness reporting that... Gold.

His shoulder laceration was superficial.

Looks like Mr. Gold is going to be moved to the medical tank at County Jail in

half an hour.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is that a cat?

Leopard. I'm sensing a theme here.

I like wild things.

Thank you. As much as you like cops?

Let me know if there's anything else you need, Inspector.

Here's the number of the nurse's station.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

See you later.

You okay?

Yeah. Need a lot of help? Nope.

Because, you know, I don't want you to faint from all that blood rushing from

your head down to that part of your body.

Hey there.

I was just writing you a note.

I'm listening.

Mark's been crazy this week.

Yeah, I know.

Listen, can I talk to you for a sec?

Sure. Okay.

Have you ever had something happen in your life that is

so surprising, but so...

All right.

So we've been seeing each other for, what, three months?

Yeah. Yeah.

Sometimes, you know, life takes these amazing... When something

happens in your life that is so surprising, sometimes, you know, I know

a while to... Just like watching a foreign film without subtitles.

Jenny, spit it out.

I found out...

I'm pregnant.

Ah.

Ginny, I was wondering if you could supervise a search for me down at Pier

while I talk with the DEA?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, sure. Not a problem.

So, uh... We'll talk later, okay?

You didn't hear that.

Hear what?

Davis the magazine two months ago.

Carl Waxford and his wife Lisa. They have one child and a house in Sausalito.

Carl Waxford owns Crown Region Imports and he has a 90 % interest in Crown

Region Shipping. He inherited both.

I think it's possible Gold is just trying to put the blame on his boss. I

know, Captain. Gary Gold's information was very detailed. He had names, he had

dates, he had locations, everything.

It's a good scheme, too.

I mean, Waxford transports the coke from Columbia hidden in these 18 -wheeler

-sized shipping containers.

Who's going to look for coke in two tons of soybean?

Yeah, especially women.

Ports in the Bay Area unload like thousands of these containers every day.

and Gary gets the container to a special warehouse where Waxford breaks out the

bricks and the rest of it is sent elsewhere.

So Carl Waxford was just a middleman. He wasn't the dealer.

Hey, we found the shipping container in the warehouse.

It's empty.

But the crime lab said there was cocaine residue all over it.

Waxford probably filled the stuff already.

How much coke did Carl say was in that container?

500 kilos.

Worth about 12 million on the street.

All right.

Arrest Waxford.

We'll see if this upstanding citizen is encouraged to give up his dealers. We're

going to keep that coke off the streets.

Let's get moving before he starts to destroy evidence.

We're headed for Mexico.

According to Bay Vista, he owns his own plane.

SFPD, we have...

What's going on?

How can they do this?

It's okay, Lisa.

Just call Hoyer. Call, uh... Call Jerry, okay?

Inspectors, I'm Jerry McNeil.

Right. Counsel, my client would like to clear up this little misunderstanding as

quickly as possible. That's great. Mr. McNeil wants you to sit down.

Thank you so much, Jerry. We'll be happy to do that.

You're a drug trafficker, Carl.

You started out legit, then you saw a perfect opportunity to quadruple your

profits.

You've been a trafficker five years now. That's around the time coke really

started to flood ports of entry like San Francisco.

See, the Colombians would love to get rid of their Mexican middlemen.

Represents an excellent opportunity for an importer like you.

The Rathbun. I'm a legitimate businessman.

You keep telling yourself that, Carl.

while your kid comes to visit you once a month as guards with M -16s watch.

Leave my family out of this. Your family's already in it, Carl.

Your kid crying as police officers carry their father away.

They're being teased at school because Daddy's in jail. And what is Lisa going

to do, pregnant and alone?

That's enough, Inspector.

My client is completely innocent of these spurious charges.

I am curious, though.

What type of jail time are we talking about for a man that you describe as a

mere middleman?

That's an excellent question, Jerry.

As a matter of fact, we've spoken to the assistant U .S. attorney, and there's a

deal available.

We want the dealers, and we want the drugs. Your client sold them. You give

those two things, we can make an arrangement.

What kind of an arrangement?

Instead of 10 to 20 years in federal prison, your client can see his children

five, medium security.

I'll have to confer with my client.

Oh, Carl. There's nothing to talk about. There are no dealers.

I am not a drug trafficker.

Hi, this is Lisa Waxford.

I just had a question for George about our accounts.

Yes, I'll hold.

Inspectors, this really isn't a good time. I'm on hold with the bank.

weird happened with my ATM this morning.

George, it's Lisa. I just... Frozen.

How?

I'm going to have to call you back.

Yes, I'm sorry, too.

What is going on?

The bank said all our accounts have been frozen by the court.

Sorry, Lisa, but the drug laws are very strict.

Drug money and any assets bought with drug money are forfeit to the

The U .S. attorney got a court order so your husband cannot transfer the funds

abroad. But how can they do that?

Carl is not a drug dealer.

And the attorney said he was going to be acquitted.

No, Lisa, he's not.

The government's also going to place a lien on your house to prevent its sale.

Valuable, jewelry, furniture, they'll all be sold at auction once your husband

is convicted.

Okay. do this to me and my kid how am i gonna buy groceries look i know

this is a lot to take in but there is a way out lisa that's why we're here if

carl cooperates with us and helps us arrest the people he's selling the drugs

he'll do a lot less time you need to talk to him convince him to help us if

cooperates we can reduce his prison time by a lot if he doesn't he goes away and

the u .s attorney is going to take everything you have

I'm in a hard time breathing.

Yesterday, my biggest trouble was that Lauren kissed the boy at recess.

We just want his cooperation, Lisa. If we get it, I promise you, they'll

some of your money.

It's your only chance.

I can't believe Carl would do this to us.

I can't let this happen.

You'll talk to him?

Yeah, set up the meeting.

Are you ready?

Are you going to be home for dinner tonight?

I don't know, Stacy. I have, like, six reports I need to finish up. Well, I am

cooking a roast chicken is all.

Oh, great. That's nice.

Yeah, it's from the Marcella Hazan's cookbook. You take these whole lemons

you shove it right up inside the bird's cavity.

Oh, okay, Stacy. Look, if I promise to be home, do you promise to stop

explaining?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great.

Yeah, is this the nurse's station?

Is Suzanne there? Suzanne Richland?

No. Okay, no, there's no message there.

Nate, question.

Yes. What is it about nurses that drive men absolutely nuts? Let's not start

this, huh?

Is it the white shoes?

Maybe it's the sponge bath.

I've always found them to be quite killing myself.

Maybe I've been doing them all wrong.

Maybe.

I spoke to my husband. He didn't send any charges, so we can't help you.

Do whatever the hell you want with my bank account.

What?

Well, I would pay good money to know what her husband just said to her in

She certainly found her backbone, huh?

Hey.

Working late?

Oh, uh, yeah, they got a witness coming in on a homicide, son.

Hanging out a while to do the sketch.

How's it going?

Weird day.

Gonna have a kid.

Yep.

And, uh... Wow.

Yeah.

I mean, like... Still up in the air, you know.

Haven't been able to talk to her yet.

Yeah, well, we just caught this pretty big drug case, so I'm sure she's kind of

swamped. Yeah.

I think it was easier on our parents.

You got pregnant, you got married. Shotgun, optional, but there were no

questions. Nothing to obsess about, you know?

You married?

I was, if the marriage didn't survive the job.

Every time I hear Jenny call it the job, I can hear the capital J.

Yeah, well, it's hard being married to a cop, you know?

You work 10, 12 hours, you see what you see, and you go home to her.

I think you can turn your brain off like a TV.

It doesn't work that way.

Well, some cops stay married, right? I mean, not like it's impossible.

It was for me.

Marriage lasted four years. It was pretty much over in two.

Okay, guys. See you around.

Really something.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Lisa.

Hey.

What's going on?

Queen spoiled rich bitch, why is she taking the bus? Because taxis are

and the DA impounded my car.

No, I mean it's late and you're still here.

I'm sorry.

I had to see the attorney about what's next.

I couldn't get an emergency loan from the bank because we don't have any

for collateral that aren't drug proceeds.

I don't know if you've looked outside, but it's pouring.

And it's got to be at least two bus transfers to get to your house.

How about I give you a ride home?

That's got to be out of your way.

I don't mind. All right. You know, Lisa, there is government help you

can apply for. You mean welfare?

I've got the formula in my bag.

I can't figure out the instructions.

I'm really confused.

I got a friend over there. I'm sure that she wouldn't mind helping you with

those.

My mother was on welfare when I was in school. I vowed my own kids would never

have to go through that.

Hey!

Hey! What the hell?

You move, she's dead.

Don't even read.

Bitch!

This is Inspector Magda Ramirez. I need a unit to assist me. Code 3.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm like Lisa Waxford. How could we not see this coming?

Well, they took a real risk 100 feet from the station. You know, we should

had protection all over her, Captain.

Better protection than me.

You've got a plate number.

You're alive.

I'd say that was a job well done.

I've alerted the marshal.

They're ready to transfer Carl Waxford and Gary Gould to another prison if

things feed up.

Let me give you a ride home.

No, I'm going to go in and look at some mug shots. I got a pretty good look at

one of them, so thanks anyway.

I heard from downstairs none of the outside cameras caught anything, and the

plates on the van are stolen.

Wonderful. But the good news, the local stations are on board. Your press

conference will be carried live at the noon broadcast.

Nate faxed over a photo of Lisa that you can use.

That's him.

This is the guy right here.

Mark Rivera.

The contract killer.

He's also David and Richard Ross' right -hand man.

The Roth brothers.

I guess now we know who Carl Waxman's dealers are.

They took Lisa just to keep Carl quiet. Maybe they won't hurt her.

I thought they were going down for heroin smuggling.

A U .S. attorney dropped the charges.

The key witness in the case? Dropped out after his girlfriend was murdered.

That's a warning.

Captain.

Yeah, Cap.

You'll never guess who just walked in the door.

Where's Lauren?

Is she okay?

Mrs. Waxford, your daughter is safe.

We need you to tell us who did this.

I didn't see them.

Their faces. They blindfolded me.

They said... They said that if Carl went to the police, that they would kill my

daughter.

How'd you get home?

They dumped her about a couple blocks away from her house.

He managed to flag down a neighbor.

Dr. Sitterbate is going to be fine.

Mrs. Waxford, we're going to need to take your statement.

No, I have nothing more to say.

Please leave me alone.

Please, Mrs. Waxford, let us help you. They said they would kill my daughter.

My sister lives in San Diego.

We're on the next plane.

That's not a good idea.

The people who took you can easily get to you in San Diego.

We can assign guards.

Around the clock.

We'll protect you and your family. Protect us? You can't protect anybody.

I was with your people when they grabbed me.

I heard what they said. They know everything.

They know exactly where you have Gary Gold hidden. The facility.

How many marshals would he eat for dinner?

They know my husband's cell.

They even know the security code of my burglar alarm.

They know everything.

What's all the more reason to let us help you?

I've got to think of Lauren.

I've got to think of my daughter.

Well, the Roths seem to have a whole lot of information about all of our

potential witnesses.

I'm going to have the Marshals transfer Gary Gould to a safe house.

Have Carl Waxford shifted to solitary. Put a uniform on this door. The least we

can do is protect her while she's here.

What about the Roths?

Have a talk with him, see if he can shake something loose.

The Roths have a cover business, a pool hall in the mid -market area.

Oh, no, Suzanne.

There's just never a nurse around when you need one.

You know, if you like, I could break your arm. A little lady can come back

some CLC. Anybody ever tell you how funny you are? Thank you. No, I meant

is a question.

I can't find $13 .09.

Call the bank. They'll help you.

You know, I don't need any help. I can do it. I can do it.

It could get rough going it alone.

You did it.

Yeah. There were times, though, when I was raising Amanda by myself when I

thought I would make it.

Really, I was working 10 hours a day just to put food on the table and crying

myself to sleep at night because I hadn't seen her all day.

It was also great.

Really, it was the most wonderful, rewarding, important thing I ever did.

I wouldn't trade a minute of it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Not that this has anything to do with your life.

Good luck with the $13.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'm David.

You guys must have lost your way. The strip club is right next door.

Oh, thanks so much.

Maybe later, David.

You good or just lucky?

How about a game?

$100 a ball.

Make it $200, David.

Might make a nice side business, gambling.

Richard Roth.

What do you know about Lethal Waxford?

Who?

Oh, that poor girl who got kidnapped.

Yeah, saw it on the news.

Terrible.

Yes, and embarrassing for you guys. I hear she was with a cop when she was

kidnapped. Well, here's another name for you. Mark Rivera.

One of the kidnappers.

No.

Doesn't ring a bell. Yeah, well, that's tough what happened to Carl Waxford,

huh? Losing a transporter like that? Especially after five years of

running like clockwork.

Must put a serious crimp in your business.

It's fine.

Just fine.

Still, it must be hard to replace a pipeline like Waxford, huh?

Especially now that we'll be watching you two twice as hard.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, well, it must be a lot of pressure trying to get, you know, business back

up to speed before the other dealers crowd you out.

I'll be here long after you're gone, Inspector.

Is that a threat?

Of course not.

Tell you what, Inspectors, practice makes perfect, right?

Hank. Hey, Amanda.

You know the things?

Things?

Things are a little crazy.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You do?

No. Yeah.

You know, partners know everything.

So how long have they known everything?

Since the beginning.

It's just so hard to take in, you know?

I know.

Yeah, I know.

Look, Hank, you know, Ginny thinks you're the best thing that's happened to

And so do I.

No, I never heard her. You know that. Hank, remember, partners know

I got a good feeling about you.

It's just, I don't know what to do.

Don't worry.

You will.

Imagine. Yeah.

Thanks.

Anytime.

Narcotics had told us something interesting.

The Roth Street deal has raised the price of coke 30 % in the last week. No,

their supply is getting low.

Yeah, but that's impossible unless they didn't receive Waxford's last shipment.

He still has them.

He stashed it somewhere before we arrested him.

No supply means the Roths are going out of business, and they're going to stay

that way as long as Carl Waxford's in jail.

Did you find the cut -up rack?

Captain, Gary Gold is dead.

So Gold was being transported when the Marshals were attacked.

It was professional. Masks and automatic weapons.

Sounds familiar.

Anyone else hurt?

Well, one of the Marshals got hit in the arm, but they say he'll be okay.

Gold was our key witness against Carl Waxford. Without him, Waxford walks.

And the Roths get their supply, and we're back to square one.

Ross knew we were moving gold. How the hell did they know that?

We are being set up.

By who?

Lisa Waxford. She's the only civilian who knew we were moving gold.

She's why we moved him in the first place. She's the one that told us gold

in danger.

Come on, Lisa's a soccer mom. You think she really put a hit on gold?

I do.

Her whole life's caved in. Her husband's in jail. She has no money, no friends.

When the Roth took her, she probably decided they were the way out.

So they hatched their plan. She comes back and tells us Gold's in danger, and

we move him.

And the one witness in her husband's case is dead. He goes free.

Carl sells the coke, and they're on the cover of Bay Vista again.

We'll be surveilling Carl. I mean, there's no way he can make the deal.

He doesn't have to.

What if Lisa didn't want to wait?

What if she arranged to make the delivery herself before Carl was

You know, when no one's surveilling anyone.

That's why she refused to help the hospital.

Kind of hard bringing along police protection for your drug deal.

She's in way over her head. We gotta find her.

You told her where the coke is.

Didn't you?

When you had your little talk. You told her where it is?

Lisa made the drug deal.

Come on, kid.

Was she worrying about money?

Is that the deal?

You told her not to cry because you had coke worth a million dollar delivery fee

stashed in a basement somewhere, and all she had to do was wait until you won

your case.

What coke?

Come on, Carl.

What do you think? The Roths are just going to take the money and walk away?

The only reason they didn't kill her before is because they needed your coke.

What do you think they're going to do with Lisa after they get it, huh?

What do you think?

I want to talk to my lawyer.

We're running out of time.

She disappeared, you know.

She's not at the house. She's not in San Diego with your daughter.

None of the neighbors have seen her.

You're lying.

She must be getting pretty desperate now. She's got no house. She's got no

She's got no money.

How Lisa came from a world like that? She's not about to return to it.

She lost her whole life.

She wants it back.

That's what she said when we talked.

She said she wanted her life back no matter what. I thought... Oh, my God.

She wants to buy it back with the money she thinks she's going to get from the

Roths.

She's a drug dealer involved in a murder.

And I still want to save her life.

Are you up there? Yeah.

I'm sorry, Meg.

Don't be, June. Just go.

Yeah, well, we both know that's a load of crap.

What else?

Let me call you back.

I'm pregnant.

Inspector Ekstad, you're now on light duty.

Take your desk.

Congratulations.

Nobody move!

Can't resist the police!

Lisa, drop the gun!

Drop the gun!

Drop it now!

You're under arrest.

It was self -defense.

Wrong, brothers, huh? What, did you double -cross them during a deal? What

They kidnapped me again and tried to kill me. It was self -defense. Lisa Rich

shot in the back.

Amanda, you'd have done the same.

How could I let my kids grow up with nothing?

Your kids are going to grow up without a mother or a father, Lisa. Don't pretend

you did it for them.

An innocent, pregnant mother kidnapped by drug dealers through some miracle

escapes with her life?

Look at me, Magda.

The jury will believe me.

They will.

Get her out of here.

Hey, I'm so sorry that I keep missing you. Yeah, yeah, look, I've been

Ginny, look, maybe it's stupid to think we have to get married just because of

the baby. You know, and I know that getting married to a cop apparently has

about as much success as the Red Sox winning the World Series. But, Ginny, I

love you. I want to take care of you. I want to take care of the baby. And I am

the guy who thinks the Sox don't go all the way this year.

So, will you marry me?

Would you be asking me this if I weren't pregnant?

They give it at the kick start.

You're not answering the question.

Ginny, we're in this together. We should be together.

We are in this together.

And I want you to be a part of this baby's life. I want you to be a part of

life.

But I've jumped into a marriage before. A marriage I had no business being in.

I need to know. We need to know.

We need to be sure that we're meant to be together, not just because I'm

pregnant.

And I don't think either one of us can say that just yet.

The answer is no.

I love you for asking, really, I do.

I can't marry you. Not now.

Not like this.

I'm starving.

I'm famished.

So I don't suppose... Yeah, let's go. Let's go. We need the hot dog place. No,

you know, I can't. The nitrates.

Ah, that's right. That's right. I mean, you're eating for... I'm eating for two.

It's such a serious problem.

Your workaround's here?

Yeah, right across the street.

What a coincidence.

I told you I liked cops.

What can I get you?

Mmm, vodka.

Top shelf rocks with a twist of lemon.

So, you tried to call me at work this week.

Yeah,

you gave me your number.

Purely professional reasons, Victor.

Why don't we stop playing this game and I take you home?

I'd like that.

Just one thing.

I'm married.

Is that a problem?

Good to be a good girl with a bad girl.
