All language subtitles for The Commish s04e02 Against the Wind 2

Previously on The Commish... Tony!

I'm not going to spend the rest of my
life in a wheelchair.

I don't care what the odds are.

Without a count of him, I became a cop.
Did you know that? He turned my life

around, Rach.

I'd probably be in jail right now if it
wasn't for him.

You're throwing that on Rudy.

What do you think he'll get?

Fifteen? Ask a Sabian again?

I'm going to keep after him. On my own
time, I'm going to nail him. What the

hell did I become a cop for?

Keep him alive, Eddie.

Tell this little girl who her father
was.

Keep him alive for her.

Like he'll always be alive for you.

Do it! You can do it!

Leave him be!

He might be hurt. You hurt? No, then
leave him alone!

You're the perfect candidate for the
job.

The Oakport department is double
decided.

As commissioner, you'd be... I'm...

Truly flattered, really. But, um, I
couldn't possibly leave right now.

Mr. Kasabian, you know where Rudy is?

Tell the truth.

Okay.

Rudy!

Do you guys think I killed the cops?

I'm a dead man!

I did manage to find something out about
your friend, Dan Boylan. He was a

homicide detective out on the island.

Youngest gold badge on the force.

I'm walking out of here, Rachel.

If I didn't believe that, how could I go
through all the... Do you believe it?

I want to.

That's not what I asked.

Rachel, you have to believe that I'm
going to walk again.

You have to.

We may have a witness to Joe's shooting.

Herman McCauley. I know.

Who shot your cop.

Give me a name.

Read me.

In half an hour, behind the warehouse.

An orchard at night.

Would you think I was gonna jump?

You wouldn't be the first.

So what's next now that you got all the
life staring you in the face?

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Might as well be dead as far as the
department's concerned.

You think your career's over because
you're stuck in the chair?

Now I get the logic.

Because whoever shot Herman's still at
large for reasons that have almost

nothing to do with your ability to move.
What are you talking about?

Before all of this, I'd have caught the
guy before he ever got to his car.

At the very least, I'd have had a
description, the plates.

Couldn't even get out of the street to
protect myself.

What color was it?

What? The car.

They come in a variety of colors.

Come on, man.

Almost ran you over.

Looked brown to me.

Somewhere between milk chocolate
mahogany, no hubcap left front.

Okay, fine, Sherlock. Did you catch the
plates? I was catching you.

My point is, you may still have what it
takes to do the job, but you're so hung

up on walking, we'll never know.

Why you want to stay a cop, I got no
idea.

But before you declare yourself dead,
maybe you ought to get on back out there

and see how much you were still alive.

Yeah, but by the time I got here, the
guy was already running across the

He got in the car and started it up.

Right over there where Ron and Eddie
are.

God, this is exciting.

You're into it or you wouldn't be here.

Isn't post -time fast approaching? If
this so happens, I don't have a tip

And I don't believe in placing the
uninformed wager. That is the difference

between gambling and investing.

Hey, boss, my mom made some cannolis. I
was gonna bring them over to the

hospital. Good night, Eddie. I'm getting
discharged in the morning.

That's great.

Okay, so you saw him get into the car
here. Did you hear or see anything else?

Well, we've got the description on air
of the car, thanks to Dan.

Oh, shucks.

And, uh, that's all we got.

With that, our life's gonna be real.
Hold on, hold on. Ronnie, drop that

clipboard again.

Drop it again? Just drop it.

I heard something else before he got in
the car. Something like that. A rat -a

-pat sound.

Metallic? Only metal on metal.

We didn't find a gun.

Nope. We can look again.

That's it.

Get it right to the lab.

Under the one, there are no prints.

Did Victor Kasabian give you anything on
where Rudy is?

No, but I think that's because Rudy's
probably dead.

Well, if he is, Victor becomes my number
one suspect. I'm going to go talk to

him.

You need to rest.

This is what it's all about, Danny boy.

You're right. I can do this job from the
chair.

Bob, listen. I heard the victim's baby
is bringing in his drug.

When? I have no details yet, but I'm
still working on my source.

Good, Ronnie.

Now, listen. I was thinking, I was
hoping that after everything quiets down

we... Can we talk about me maybe getting
into the detective's program?

I can't hire another detective.

Yeah, but if Sid takes a job in Oakport,
there'll be room. I mean, it should be

crazy not to. I mean, how many female
commissioners are there?

I don't know.

So can we at least talk about it?

Sure. Sure.

Great.

knowledge you're getting.

It's a very poor taste.

Where's Rudy Mendoza?

I thought he killed the guy last night.

Who'd you hear it from?

It was whispered in the wind.

How did Rudy get out of the river, and
where was he hiding?

I can't think.

You know what I think?

I think you killed Joe Wachowski, and
you set up Rudy for it, and then you

care of the witness.

We're all adults here, right,
Commissioner?

Let's not play juvenile games. If I
could produce Rudy, don't you think I'd

it?

Hey, believe me.

I'm as frustrated as you are.

Lab report on the gun.

Rudy's prints are all over it.

He's obviously not sleeping with the
fishes.

We've got the whole department looking,
and we can't...

Why would Rudy leave the gun?

He doesn't want to run the risk of being
caught with it. Who knows? I don't

think Rudy went to MIT.

I don't think he could spell it. Find
him, then.

Excuse me, Commissioner.

Time for your therapy.

Oh, tell Dan to forget it. Well, you've
got to have... Forget it.

It's not going to happen, Sid.

Did the doctors tell you? I told me.

I was lying there on the street. It
became very apparent.

Oh.

Because, boy, I've been telling all
these people that I work for a man who

doesn't know what quitting means.

Now, after all our time together, you're
going to make a liar out of me?

Speaking of which...

Lucille just dropped off a bunch of R13
files. You're due for a job evaluation

and a raise.

Tony, I don't care about that now.

How come?

Because we have more important things to
deal with.

Like the commissioner's job in Oakport?

Take it.

I already turned it down. Why? Because
they wanted me to take a 10 % cut.

The mayor's a jerk.

It's an opportunity for you to run your
own department.

He'll come again.

Call. Tell him you reconsidered. You're
stuck with me, Tony. Learn to live with

it.

I gotta go find Rudy.

And you've gotta get back in that
therapy room.

Right?

The thing is, I might have blown it.

I wanted to get him out to the crime
scene because I thought, you know, maybe

something came up, it'd be jazzed about
the therapy again.

It's not.

Just the opposite.

I think he's accepted being in that
chair.

Rachel, he's got a good chance to get
out of it. He could... Oh, juice.

Hi, honey.

Hi.

Say hi to Mr. Boylan?

He's helping your daddy.

Come on. Come on.

Come on, pal. Let's go on the bike.

Let's go.

I could push him. I could yell at him.
But I've done all that.

I'm down.

I'll take over from here.

Thanks, dear.

Sid Madison is the best I've ever worked
with. Where do you get off trying to

make her take a cut? Cut?

We offered her $5 ,000 more than what
she's getting from you.

Then why didn't she take it? Can I read
you something?

I owe Commissioner Scali more than I can
ever repay.

And under the current circumstances, no
offer, not even one as generous as

yours, could compel me into an act of
disloyalty to him.

Commissioner?

Do you have anyone else lined up? No.

I've got a deadline on Friday.

Well, don't rule her out yet.

Why not?

Mishner.

Gal, you tried to bury me.

Commissioner Scali's room.

601. The visiting hours are over in ten
minutes.

That's okay.

Paige, Dr. Morrison, stat.

Come on, Joe.

Come on, you want to insult my mother?

You're going to go before the review
board.

It's standard procedure.

That's cool.

Eddie, have you ever shot a guy before?

Uh -uh.

Couldn't think of a better way to make
my bones, though.

What, I'm supposed to cry for Rudy?

I didn't say that.

I cry for Joe. He's the guy worth crying
for.

I got the guy who killed Joey and Herman
and kept them from getting you. If

anyone was gonna score that hat trick,
I'm thrilled it was me.

And just between us, if I had a chance
to nail Victor... By the way, thanks.

Hey, thank Mama Demastry. She hadn't
made these, I wouldn't even have been

Rudy had 60 bucks on him.

Watch, wallet, the usual.

But, um, no gun.

So what do you have, a knife?

Nothing.

I could be in trouble here.

No way you could have known.

Yeah, but come on, boss. You know how
these review boards operate.

The cop's always wrong and the bad guy's
always innocent.

Rudy was coming after me. If anyone has
a reason to testify he did the right

thing, and I will, go home, relax.

It's going to be okay, Eddie.

If Rudy didn't have a weapon, how was he
going to... Maybe he figured you were

asleep. He was going to use the pillow
to do the job and not attract attention.

That was in Rudy's jacket pocket.

Who's she?

Somebody other than his wife.

Do you want me to drop the surveillance
on Dr. Kasabian?

This one's closed.

The dead are going to bury the dead.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

That letter of termination that you sent
me, it's cute.

How you said, I'm irresponsible and
unreliable and undependable through

Very cute.

It's not a joke, Sid. Be quiet.

The box is being changed in your office.

You can't fire me.

You have no grounds.

Willfully disobeying a direct order.

What direct order?

I ordered you to take the job.

Oh.

You... Didn't say.

Tony, you don't need a physical
therapist. You need a psychoanalyst.

Take the job, Sid.

I can file a grievance. I've got
documentation, too. It's all in my file.

can't get into your office.

gonna be fine take the job detective
madison i want those guys over in

to see what a fabulous teacher i really
am they're waiting for your call

oh you are you're a sneak

you are and you're manipulative and
you're duplicitous you know exactly the

right emotional buttons to push and i'll
be grateful to you for the rest of my

life

I scheduled you for outpatient therapy
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 2 .30 to

4. Don't need it.

Go to the track.

Hey, isn't this, uh, that guy who got
killed last night?

Rudy Mendoza.

It's a Pimlico.

It's a track in Baltimore.

How can you tell?

I go there twice a year to visit my
money. Wow.

Winner paid 163 and change?

Maybe that's why he carries it.

Remember a big payday.

Yeah. Horse players are a sentimental
bunch.

The therapy room's here if you decide to
give it another shot.

Thanks, Dad.

Bye,

Rich. Thank you very much.

We've been talking about this for
months.

Why don't you throw it away?

An invitation to a father -son softball
tournament?

How good is it now?

Dad can still go with you.

And just sit there?

It's even worse than not going at all.

How do you think it'd make him feel?

Like your father.

Come here.

I want to be a part of the things you're
doing.

That's what being a family is.

If you got a game or if you just want to
go get some ice cream.

That doesn't change because I'm on four
wheels instead of two feet.

Do you want me to be at that tournament?

Yeah.

Then that's where I'm going to be.

David?

Take this girl up to bed.

Come on, Sarah.

I, uh... I got some stuff at the
hospital about retrofitting the house.

I'm gonna need a ramp outside and a
motorized lift to get the wheelchair

upstairs. No.

What do you mean?

I mean we are not retrofitting this
house.

Well, how am I supposed to get away? You
are going to walk.

Rachel. Don't Rachel me.

You are going to walk.

Rachel, I know it's tough to accept, but
I've accepted the way things are. You

accepted nothing.

You just quit.

And the sooner you accept it, the better
off we'll all be.

You quit.

Without even talking to us.

Like this decision of yours had nothing
to do with how we live our lives. Is

that what you think being a family is?

You begged me to say that I believe in
you.

I did.

Now you believe in yourself.

All right, so I'm here.

But I ain't getting anywhere.

Give it time.

So this might be nothing, but you know
that picture Rudy Mendoza at the track?

It was taken the night of the 12th, same
night Herman McCauley was killed.

That's not nothing.

A friend of mine's a cashier at the
track. He checked the records.

That combination of numbers on the tote
board?

Eighth race, night of the 12th.

What time was the eighth race?

11 o 'clock.

Maybe later.

So if Rudy was standing by the rail at
Pimlico at 11 o 'clock, he couldn't have

been in Eastbridge to shoot Herman at
1045.

Mm -hmm.

The gun was a plant.

He wasn't coming here to shoot me.

He wanted to show me the picture because
that was his alibi.

Rudy always said Victor Contabian was
setting him up.

We should have believed him.

know where Victor's gonna be?

Ronnie Lopez was doing the surveillance.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, Victor shoots
pool at O 'Connor's. They let him stay

the place after hours.

What?

Why'd you want those figures on the tote
board?

Time killer?

Was she a board of punks?

That's all.

Shoots bull by himself.

Less chance of losing.

Isn't that your guy?

Eddie!

That idiot!

Eddie said he wanted to take Victor out.

Talk so far. I can't hear what I

can't

see him now.

Where did they go? Behind a pillar.

There was Eddie all along.

Joe must have found out Eddie was
working for Victor.

Eddie killed Joe and the thing
snowballed from there. Eddie hid the box

in Joe's house so we think Joe was
dirty.

Killed him in Rudy's territory.

We go after Rudy.

Eddie sat in my room and cried for his
partner.

When Eddie was a kid, there was some
petty stuff.

TVs that fell off a truck, a couple of
stolen pairs of jeans from Ferber's

department store.

I told him you're smart enough to make
it on the right side of the law. I

sponsored him at the academy.

I thought I turned him around.

We all make mistakes.

Eddie and Victor are working with each
other. If we can drive a wedge between

them... By utilizing the natural greed
and suspicious nature of the criminal

character?

Something like that.

If we can get them at each other's
throats, one of them might scare the

into our open arms. What a mind.

Now, not to change the subject, but
something else happened out there

He started to walk.

That's one small step for a man.

I'm not totally rock solid on these
things yet.

How long are you going to be on them
for?

It's going to be a little while here,
champ.

You mind giving your mother and I a
couple of minutes?

Sure.

Hey, Dad.

I never thought seeing you walk through
the front door would be such a big deal.

Me neither.

I'm going to make it, Rach.

First time in a long time I know it.

What amazes me is how people who are all
alone, how they make it

without having someone they love to help
them or give them a kick in the pants.

I don't know how they do it.

You're welcome.

I got the word on Victor's drug ship
down at Parker Street Pier between 11

tonight.

Okay, let's get the drugs and whoever's
working with Victor. But I want Victor

to get away, and I want Eddie to be the
one who springs him.

Kasabian's a dealer.

Victor Kasabian's responsible for Joe
Ratowski's death.

What? Only I can't prove it yet.

I need to get his trigger man, and I
need to stir up some bad blood between

them. That's why Eddie's got to be the
one to let him escape.

Why does Eddie have to be the one?

I'm going to send Eddie over to talk to
you about the bust.

Don't let him out of your sight until it
goes down. I don't want him to tip

Victor off.

Are you sure it's Eddie?

I'm sure.

Hey. Well, come on, boss.

Thanks, man.

I'll give you out there chasing down bad
guys in no time. Absolutely.

Get this for me. Thanks.

So what's up? Sarge said you wanted to
see me.

Yeah.

Listen, Eddie, how'd you like to help us
nail Victor Kasabian?

Are you kidding?

There's nothing I want more.

You think he's bringing in a drug
shipment tonight?

Big score?

Big enough.

Ronnie Lopez is our point man.
Coordinate with him. Yeah, yeah. I will.

Thanks, boss.

Hey, you deserve it.

They're at the dock.

Is he Victor?

No, not yet.

These guys are cute.

They're starting to take the merchandise
into the warehouse.

Where the hell's Victor?

He's off the boat and he's heading down
up here.

All right, keep back until he goes into
the warehouse.

And, Ronnie, no shooting unless they
shoot first.

I got it.

All right, he's in.

Okay, go.

Okay, come on.

You better give me stuff while you
inhale it.

Let's go.

Come on, move.

Why does it take so long?

when she gets down on the floor!

Ronnie!

me above the bus.

What am I paying you for?

I was stuck next to Lopez all afternoon.

I couldn't get away.

I lost you.

Put your gun down now!

Put him down now!

I had to play along with Scali,
otherwise he'd figure something's up.

You can still figure it.

It'll be on to you, Eddie.

Put us together.

No way.

Uh -uh. He made sure you were here,
didn't he?

He's messing with us, Eddie.

Don't.

Don't even think about it.

Even if you got lucky, you'd have to
kill Nino, Charlie, and the rest of the

boys. They know everything.

Ronnie, where's Victor?

I don't know. Any of you guys seen
Victor?

You'll find out what Scotty knows.

How? You're a cop.

Think of something.

And make it fast.

Yes, sir.

shoot. It's me, Eddie.

Come on.

Come on.

You all right?

What happened?

I went after Victor.

Where was Pit Black up there?

And you lost him?

I heard him heading down the back
stairs.

I took a shot at him, but he's out the
door. We did get all the other guys,

though, and about eight keys. I want
Victor Kasabian.

Am I making myself perfectly clear?

I'm sorry, boss. Victor was mine. I just
couldn't...

the new commissioner of the Oakport PD.

You're going to be the best one they've
ever had.

Rachel.

I'm going to... You guys have been
like...

Believe me, I was a lot more eloquent in
my interview.

You would have to have been.

Thank you.

Hey.

See you at the next Commissioner's Ball.

Yeah, I don't...

There's no reason for Eddie to let
Victor get away.

Go on, keep thinking.

Eddie's on Victor's pad?

Where do you think the 18 grand we found
at Joe's came from?

They set up Joe to look dirty.

No way, no!

Right? No way!

I'll, uh... You'll what?

Who's the other guy on that tape?

I don't know. You don't know? Well,
here's something I do know. I know we

problem, and I know you're gonna fix it.

What do you mean, Scali?

I mean the problem.

Fix the problem.

Now.

All right.

I don't know if it was a good idea
turning Eddie loose.

Please, Nino.

I want your advice, I'll slip my throat,
all right?

It's got to be Eddie. He's the only one
that can get to Scali.

And he's the only guy who can finger
you.

He knows. I tell him.

Scali could help him.

Scali could make him a deal to roll over
on you.

Oh, man.

Thank God you are here.

Victor and his guys are on the other
side of this door. We can... God, Eddie.

What do you mean? These guys aren't...
Give me the gun.

It's over.

I know you killed Joe.

Are you out of your mind? I know it was
you.

The only thing that's left is to hear
you say it. This is crazy. I loved him.

All right, here's the deal.

Those guys inside there don't like you
very much.

These guys out here don't like you
either.

They would be thrilled to see me open
that door and throw you back inside.

You can't do that, boss.

You can't. Watch me. Now!

Talk to me, Andy.

Now's the last chance you've got.

I begged Joey not to tell I was working
for Victor on my

knees. I begged him.

But he was gonna.

I said that we are partners, man.

But he won't listen.

I couldn't let him turn me in. So you
killed him?

And Herman told you I was going to go
down, boss.

And I couldn't let that happen.

How'd you know?

I saw you with Victor at the pool room.
And since you went through the trouble

of bugging my office, I figured the
least I could do is give you and Victor

something to listen to.

Victor, too.

They're in a holding cell.

Gonna get him down to county tomorrow.

So why the puss?

He's not gonna bring Joey back.

Or Herman.

Or Rudy.

We was no solid citizen.

But who shouldn't be dead?

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you I'm
going back to work full time.

Why don't you take a break, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I know.

Look, Danny, I wouldn't be going back if
it wasn't for...

I really appreciate... Damn, you
Italians are weepy.

How about coming with me?

Where?

The department.

Sid's gone. I need a replacement.

I'm serious.

You've won the gold badge before.
There's no reason why you couldn't.

You know anything about astronomy, Tony?

Nothing much.

Way up on Mount Palomar, they got the
telescope, most powerful in the

United States.

It's got a 200 -inch mirror, can spot an
object 3 billion light -years away.

Then there's your Keck telescope down in
Mauna Kea. It's got a 400 -inch mirror,

can see 5 billion light -years in space.

Now, Tony, if somehow you could take the
Palomar and shove it inside the Keck,

if you could combine their power so you
could see 5 billion light -years away,

if you could do that, Tony?

You still could not detect how little
interest I have in joining your

department.

Once a cop always, it's in the blood.

I've been transfused.

You've been as much a part of closing
this case as I have.

You want to come back, Danny. You know
you do.

Way up on Mount Palomar. I'm offering
you another chance.

I didn't ask for it. I didn't ask for
it, and I don't want it.

Join the apartment again, man. I dealt
with the dregs that set the human race

back to the Stone Age.

Then there were the criminals.

You loved it, and you missed it. I am
doing something that's very important

here.

I am helping people that are worth
helping, most of them.

You're proof of that. But it's not the
same. That's right, it isn't.

I don't get the night sweats anymore, or
the dreams. I can keep a meal down.

And you let the bad guys do what they
want.

You let them take over the whole country
if they want to. It is not my problem

anymore.

Remember what you said about there being
three kinds of guys here?

One of them is you.

You're just using this joint as a place
to hide.

Don't you play a player, man.

You already admitted it.

In here, you don't have to go on the
line.

A guy gets well or he doesn't. No skin
off yours. That's right.

No risks, nothing to lose. And I like
it. You're safe in here, Danny boy.

Shut up!

I'm sorry, Dan.

Guess I read you wrong.

I know you did.

We're transferring Eddie now. He asked
if he can see you. No.

He said it would mean a lot to him.

Okay, bring him in.

You gotta know that I never wanted this
to happen.

I'm sure that's true.

Tony, I didn't go to Victor. He came to
me.

He said, you put your life on the line
every single day and the money's a joke.

He said all I had to do was just give
him a little information now and then.

That's all it was.

That's all it was?

Why don't you try telling that to your
partner's wife and little girl?

Come on, Tony, just be there for me,
huh?

Please?

Come on, you were there for me once
before, remember?

make mistakes.

Oh, I said move.

Way up on Mount Palomar.

It's ice cream.

Hey, David, you want something?

Toasted almond.

Oh, you want something?

Yeah, I'll have a popsicle.

It's ice cream.

Eat a vanilla popsicle.

What do you mean?

What's up?

We're walking over to the ice cream
truck to get some ice cream.

Isn't that wonderful?
