All language subtitles for The Commish s05e05e06 Redemption

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your basic sweatshop.

Expensive clothes cut by people who
couldn't afford the buttons. At least no

got hurt.

With all those kids in there, it could
have been a lot worse.

They see anything?

Are you kidding?

Yeah, too scared to talk, huh?

Well, the fire marshal says it was a
magnesium -based explosive, gasoline and

dynamite, wired to this.

All the guy had to do was dial the phone
number.

Whatever happened to a good old book of
magic?

This wasn't set by your average pyro. A
pyro could never afford a rig this

expensive, even if he knew how to make
one.

Whoever did this had money.

He's trying to make a bundle more.

Yeah. You figure it was an insurance
scam?

Well, let's go talk to the beneficiary.

I'm Kitty Jordan.

Can I help you?

I'm here about the fire.

Actually, I need to speak to either
Carla or Oscar Rothman.

Oscar Rothman is my father, and I'm
Carla.

Kitty Jordan is just the name of the
line.

Nobody's going to pay twice for a Carla
Rothman.

Kitty, Kitty.

I love the décolleté. You're a genius.

Max, I can't eat compliments. Let's get
some orders.

I designed that V to be in the back, and
then some model with the IQ of a hammer

puts it on backwards, and suddenly I'm a
genius.

Well,

I guess you can come here for fashion
tips.

Actually, I came for your financial
records.

Excuse me.

Why do you want to look at the records?

Oh, I'm Oscar Rothman. I'm sorry, you
know.

I don't understand.

Why do you think we would burn down our
old business?

Well, in a case like this, one has to
consider all the possibilities, Mr.

Rothman. Well, let's consider this. I
mean, one does not burn down a factory

when one is in full production.

One burns down a factory when one has a
lease and nothing to make.

That's when one burns down a factory.

Commissioner, we took every precaution
to prevent a fire, didn't we, Papa?

Yeah, and the other factory, we put in
extra sprinklers, we put in an alarm

system.

Even the buttons on the blouses were
fire -resistant.

All of this is in the insurance report.
You can look at it if you care to.

I read it.

I still have to see your books.

I see.

Well, I find this very embarrassing

and a little more than

inconvenient.

Let me explain something.

The insurance company won't pay you a
dime until they get my report.

The longer it takes me... He's just
trying to help.

It's just that I remember when police
are not so

helpful.

Roxanne has chosen style 4 -1 -4 -1. Oh,
by the way, you give this...

What are you?

Police commissioner.

Police commission.

You give this whatever he wants.

All right, Papa.

Come on.

Let's get those records.

Tony. Hey.

How's Rachel and the kids?

Hey. Hey.

Beautiful.

Cindy Talbot. Tony Scali, my son -in
-law. Hi. This is my new home, Tony.

He's the owner's right -hand man.

You should have told us. I finally found
my golden opportunity.

I do all the subcontracting. I buy the
cloth.

What did I always say, huh? Who knows
the schmata business like Ben Metzger?

hear?

Rachel will be thrilled. You should call
her.

I know.

I've been meaning to.

You hear about the fire, huh? Yeah.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, Sidney.
Come on, let's go.

Listen,

why don't you come to dinner?

It's a good idea. I'll call Rachel
tomorrow.

Why don't you come tonight?

Don't see us tonight.

I haven't been around lately.

It seems like something's always coming
up.

Well, it depends on what's the most
important.

You're right.

Only, uh, don't tell her you're calling
from my phone.

I want this to be just between you and
her, okay?

I just can't believe he called up out of
the blue and wanted to come for dinner.

I mean, I'm always the one that has to
call him.

Well, he probably just misses his
daughter.

I come bearing gifts.

Thank

you.

So, Tony, anything

new on the fire?

We're still sifting through the rubble.
You know, that's one of our

subsidiaries. I was there just the other
day.

Ah, what do you know about Oscar
Rothman, Ben?

I know he came to this country with
nothing.

And look what he's done.

Why, is there a problem?

Um... You work with somebody, you get to
know them. Believe me, that man is a

mensch.

When you're special.

Dinner's ready.

I love the blouse. It's beautiful.

Thanks, Daddy. It isn't even in the
stores yet.

You're the first to have one.

Except for Cindy here.

That's only because I have to model
them.

Basically, I'm just a clothes hanger
with legs.

No.

That's a beautiful horse.

Now, you make another drawing for Aunt
Cindy.

David's going to be here any minute.

He's really looking forward to seeing
you, Ben.

Yeah, well, we got to get moving pretty
soon.

Can't you at least wait until he gets
here?

Sure, sure.

Would I miss seeing my favorite
grandson?

Can I help?

I can manage, thanks.

Rachel, Ben told me that I was invited
tonight, but I can tell you weren't

expecting me.

I'm really sorry.

Don't be.

I'm happy to have you.

I know what this must look like to you.

Cindy, this is not about you. It's about
my father.

It's just the way he is.

I think you're lucky to have a father
like him.

I never did.

He's good to me.

He buys me things. He takes me places.

He treats me like I got more than... You
know, he can be really wonderful.

Then sometimes, like tonight...

Look, why don't you bring these to the
boys?

Scali. Hi, Dad. Hey, champ, when are you
coming home? I found this puppy in

front of the temple.

What? Dad, she's lost.

You don't want her to go to the pound,
do you?

David, we can't keep it dark.

No, look, just until we find the owners.

Put up signs and an ad in the paper?

I guess, but just until we find the
owner.

Great. All right, hurry up.

Yeah, okay, I'm coming home.

Bye. Thank you.

Where did he get the money for a call
like that?

He's got a big job, though.

He finally has money and he spends it on
sports cars and diamond bracelets.

When is he going to grow up?

That's Cindy.

She's a little young for him.

Okay, she's a lot young for him. She's
young enough to be his daughter.

I mean, if he likes having a girl on his
arm, fine.

But?

You see him like twice a year and he
doesn't even have two minutes for his

grandchildren.

Look at this.

He left Sarah's drawing here.

Every time he comes, I think, this time
he's going to be different.

He never is.

He never will be, Rach.

He loves you the only way he knows how.

Yeah. Well, that doesn't keep her from
hurting.

Whenever he leaves, I look out the
window and I feel like I'm five years

again. And I'm still waiting for him.

Circus was a long time ago, Rach.

Not to me.

I remember everything.

My mother got me these black leather
shoes with red bows on them, and I was

scared I'd get sawdust on them that I
sat really still in the window waiting

my dad, looking for his old blue Ford.

Not one of his golden opportunities came
along.

And by the time he showed up... Stupid,
huh?

I'm all grown up and I'm still waiting.

The dog's all fettled.

You think maybe we can keep her?

Okay, I'll put up the signs tomorrow.

What am I supposed to say?

Well, just describe her.

Cute, fluffy, eight -week -old golden
retriever puppy.

Who's definitely not housebroken.

Back off! What's going on here?

Invading the right of free speech.

What, whoever's left standing has the
right to speak? Something like that.

You pass all these traps in front of my
foot!

Save America for the whites, you passin'
this stuff around here? There's no law

against givin' out handouts.

No, but there is a law against throwing
garbage on the sidewalk, and this is

definitely garbage.

Freedom is right.

I'll be back tomorrow, you fools!

Hey, this is not the first time I have
trouble with these people.

I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to
stop them from passing out this crap.

I have a gun.

I stopped them.

Belsham East checks out clean.

They're a healthy company, Tony.

Rothman was right. No reason he'd burn
down his own place for the insurance.

Where does he get his money from?

There's no unexplained cash.

All this funding comes from the banks. I
mean, no mob connections.

Well, what about the arsonist?

The fire marshal says we're dealing with
an old -time take -pride -in -your

-work professional.

I mean, the man almost gushed.

In other words, we have no leads.

I was trying to break that to you
gently.

You check on Rothman?

Everybody sings the same tune about this
guy.

Cool on the outside, Mother Teresa on
the inside.

I don't care if this guy is the Hasidic
St. Francis of Assisi. He was very

anxious to get his hands on that
insurance money.

Paulie, the guy's got a recoup.

There's something wrong with this
picture.

Paulie, I just can't figure out what it
is yet.

All right, keep checking.

I'll be back soon.

Another temple got hit last night. Only
this time it's the one that Rachel and

David go to.

It's not just our temple.

I know, Rabbi. They've hit a lot of
places in Eastbridge.

Leaving these all over.

White resistance.

How do you know about them?

Oh, we're trying to get a line on them.

Until we make some arrests, I can start
to beef up patrols in the area.

Officially, that's about all I can do.

Unofficially, I can try to get some of
my people here to help clean up the

We've got volunteers doing that.

Including David.

Yeah.

And I've been thinking that all he's got
on his mind these days is girls. I had

some of my more attractive female
members assemble the cleaning crew.

Very shrewd.

Oh, excuse me, Rabbi.

Scali. Tony, my father had a heart
attack. He's at East Bridge Memorial.

I don't think he's going to make it.

Always trying to get in touch with your
brother.

But he's still in Europe.

His hands look so old.

Never noticed before.

Hey, Daddy.

I'll go tell the doctor he's awake.

I can't be sick.

We're shipping the fall line.

They can't do it without me.

What did I always say, huh?

What?

Who knows more about the schmutz
business than Ben Metzger?

I know it was hard, me being away so
much.

I always wanted to say something.

What?

Being away, I miss things I shouldn't
have.

Yeah.

But I was there for the important
things.

Holidays, birthdays.

We had our good times, right?

Right.

Like the third day.

Do you remember?

Sure you do.

You begged me for weeks to take you.

And then I finally got the ticket.

Just you and me.

Yeah, you got us tickets.

Remember the clown?

The clown?

Sure you do.

He came right up to you.

We were sitting in the front row.

He showed you his flower.

The one that squirted water.

You laughed.

Oh, how you laughed.

And then the clown tumbled away back
into the center ring.

And you clapped your little hands
together.

Your whole face was lit up and beaming.

Remember?

I love you, Rochla.

Shalom.

He kept all my old letters from camp.

Listen to this.

Dear Daddy, how are you?

I am fine.

I have lots of friends.

Spelled F -R -I -N -T -Z.

He gave me this when I had my tonsils
out.

I thought he was the biggest bear I had
ever seen.

He walked in with a bear out in front of
him.

And at first, I thought a real bear was
coming into the room.

That means that my eyes got just as big
as Saul's.

I want Sarah to have it.

I'll tell her the story.

What is it?

There are four dates circled.

Now, what are these names next to the
dollar amounts?

Soup du jour and nattyware?

Those are Belshamese clothing lines. The
second date corresponds to the

Belshamese fire.

That could be a coincidence.

It's not.

Okay.

I spoke to the fire marshal after we
found the book.

There was another fire that corresponds
to that first date, three weeks ago in

Brooklyn. The insured was a company
called Crunch, but they're owned by a

company. Belle Chemise. Yeah, and they
make the Nattyware line.

Honey. What?

If Ben was behind those first two fires,
then Rachel's gonna... I know, I know,

but I have a much bigger problem right
now.

So far, we have two dates and two fires.

But somebody circled these two dates in
the book.

Now, if this is really a pattern, then
we only have one day to start that next

fire.

The background check you want on Ben
Metzger? He ran his prints through NCIC.

Thanks.

My father taught you to waltz the night
before our senior prom.

It's procedure. We do this with all...
with everyone.

You gonna read the report?

My father was arrested for embezzlement
last year.

They dropped the charges.

Then he was innocent.

Or maybe there wasn't enough evidence to
bring the charges.

We better start sifting through the
evidence. It's downstairs.

Evidence?

You mean my father's things?

Look, honey, I know this is hard, but we
don't have a lot of time.

If you can identify some of his things,
it'd help.

Can you do it?

Sure.

I think my father's innocent, Tony.

Do you?

We just started the investigation. Not
as the police commissioner, as my

husband.

Do you think he's innocent?

Yes.

I don't even know what I'm looking for.

Anything that seems out of place. I'm
like your father to have.

Can I take this home?

Sure. It's on the list.

Give it to Sarah.

So you claim to have lost 12 ,000
blouses in the fire?

Yeah, is there a discrepancy?

You're off by, I'd say, about 12 ,000.

Now, according to Kitty, the buttons on
the blouses were fire -resistant.

So?

So, if they were in that building, there
would have been buttons all over the

floor.

You know how many buttons we found?

Zero.

Give us a minute, Melissa.

Now, wait a minute.

You're trying to accuse us of something?

I'm just asking a question, Mr. Rothman.

Do you think the blouses could have been
in that building?

No, I don't think so.

Then whoever stole them set the fires.

Yeah.

Well, then Metzger stole them.

What? Papa, what are you saying?

Well, look, he came to me. He was
desperate for money. And he asked me to

him a loan.

And I said no.

And he came back and asked me to give a
loan against his salary. And I refused

him again.

And then after that...

I suspected him of stealing.

Do you have any proof of that?

Proof? I mean, he's the only one in the
factory. What proof?

Believe me, no one, no one from Belsham
East was there. They never set a foot in

it.

He's a thief.

No, he's a conveniently dead man who
can't defend himself.

Well, who else could have done it?

I haven't ruled anyone out yet.

Including me.

Including the janitor. No one's cleared
yet. Obviously, it's easier to try to

make me guilty than your own father -in
-law. Now, just a minute. Papa.

I will not be persecuted.

I

will

not be persecuted.

I was persecuted by the Nazis, and I
swore

I would never be persecuted again.

Do you ever hear the words, never again?

If I wanted to persecute you, I could
have... planted evidence right here at

Belshamese.

If I wanted to protect Ben Metzger, I
could have buried that notebook.

I'm going to find out who's responsible
for these fires.

If it's Ben Metzger, then my family will
have to live with that. But I'm not

going to close up shop just on your say
-so.

Just a minute.

You know,

If you had one ounce of objectivity,
you'd come to the same

conclusion I did.

I'm more interested in where the
evidence leads me.

And if it leads me back here, you better
have a very good lawyer.

Have you checked where the closest might
have come from?

We talked to every dealer in the area.
All the buyers were legit.

Did you find anything in here?

Nothing except their jump rope.

Made me a big hit among the younger set.

They even gave me a chipote jalado.

A what?

That's a popsicle.

I'm picking up a lot of Spanish.

These kids are always here.

You know our problem?

We're trying to find the arsonist from
what he left behind.

Yeah, that's the usual procedure. They
teach it in all the best detective

schools. What if we try to find them
from what he took with him?

Hey, Ronnie, come here.

Okay, I'll bite.

The blouses.

We find those blouses and we might find
our arsonist. Yeah, boss, I need you to

interpret for me. Come here.

Hola. ¿Cómo están?

Bien.

Ask them if they play here all the time.

Mira, ¿juegan aquí mucho?

Sí, todos los días.

Ask them if they saw a truck picking up
blouses from the factory before the

fire.

Big truck.

Did it have any markings on it?

Said there was a horse on it with no
legs.

What, like a rocking horse?

It's just a horse.

No, no, it's not just a horse. It's a
knight, like a chess piece.

We find the company with the symbol.

Sounds like a job for the Yellow Pages.

Muchas gracias.

Here it is.

Got someone over here to confiscate all
this evidence. This is private property,

gentlemen. You better have a good reason
for being here.

Your turn for show and tell. You got
some ID?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't shoot.

Didn't realize you guys were official.

I'm the foreman here, Pete Collins.

You have any idea who brought these
blouses in here?

Nah, people just truck them in and truck
them out.

Well, we got the lot number from your
head office downtown, but there's no

attached to it. Well, somebody brought
them here, paid cash up front.

Would you recognize the man if you saw
him again? In a New York minute.

You picked out your father's picture,
Rach.

Yeah. What does that mean?

Nothing yet.

First rule of police work, never assume.

Well, if my father took those glasses,
there has to be an explanation.

Oh, Rothman's explanation is your father
was stealing from him. But you said he

didn't have any proof.

He doesn't. And look at this.

Look.

If your father was skimming money, he
didn't keep it in the bank.

He only has about $3 ,500 in savings.

You see, he wasn't taking money from the
guy.

We don't know that yet.

What do we know?

All we know is what we know.

That's why they call it an ongoing
investigation.

Wow.

I know my father is innocent.

Tony Scali, your husband, wants you to
be right.

Good.

Then Tony Scali, the cop, should go out
and prove it.

Rachel!

What happened?

This was an $85 pair of running shoes.

The dog!

I know.

David called her Misha. That's cute,
right?

Rachel, the dog has got to go.

David? Yeah?

Your mother and I wanted to talk to you
about something.

I think she likes you, Dad.

What do you guys want to talk to me
about?

Well, it's... It's just that...

We both think Misha is a very nice name
for a dog.

and I'll get back to you.

Bye.

Hi, this is Rachel Scali.

I'm very sorry I didn't call you sooner.

I wasn't sure if you had heard.

But... My father died a few days ago.

And... I'm very sorry if you're hearing
it like this.

Cindy, I went over to his apartment and
I found a really nice picture of you

with him.

I thought maybe you'd like to have it.

Call me back at 555 -0112.

Maybe the best thing you can do for
Rachel is not talk about it till you

something definite.

I thought I was helping, you know, give
it a hope, you know?

Yeah, but the facts keep getting in the
way.

Well, that's what makes me think he's
innocent. You know, there's too much

circumstantial evidence.

Well, 50 grand stuffed inside of Smokey
the Bear is a tidy circumstance.

Hey, Tony, try not to leave with your
heart on this one, huh? Rachel doesn't

need that.

What Rachel needs is to get off the damn
roller coaster.

Wow, they really did a number on this
place.

Yeah.

Everyone all right? They're pretty
shaken up and nobody got hurt.

Did they see the perp? Wife was hiding
in the back. She got a good look at the

leader. Yeah? Well, let's put it
together with a sketch artist. Maybe

catch these creeps this time.

You're doing great, Mrs. Morris.

Thanks.

Sir, how's she doing? Well, we should
have a good idea what this white

resistance guy looks like pretty soon.

Ronnie, as soon as the sketch is ready,
put on an APB, okay? Yeah.

Where are we with this bomb watch?

Well, the stakeout teams are in place.

We've doubled the patrols, and the mayor
approved your request for more

overtime. Good.

If our guy sticks to his dating, we
should try to plant the bomb by

Well, if he does, we'll be there.

Listen, there's still three torches we
haven't talked to yet. Well, we'll get

them. There's someone else I want to
talk to first.

Ben had a girlfriend.

We haven't heard from her since he died.

Maybe they weren't all that close.

Well, maybe they were.

If Ben was involved in these fires, she
might have a reason for dropping out of

sight.

You're looking for Cindy?

She hasn't been here for days.

When was the last time you saw her?

Sunday night.

The way she was dressed, I don't think
she was headed for five o 'clock mass.

Could she be staying with a friend?

Women who look like her usually do.

This is when cops find dead

bodies.

We should start crawling these.

Somebody's got to know where she is.

Hey, she has a photo shoot today.

Three o 'clock.

You find her, you tell her her great
-looking derriere is fired.

She's Cindy Talbot, not Cindy Crawford.

You haven't heard from her? Not word
one.

Mona, Mona, lean into the camera, okay?
You got a lovely body. I want to see it.

Beautiful. Perfect.

Disaster.

Looks like they hate the swimwear.

Okay, big smile.

Big smile.

Beautiful.

Some days it doesn't pay to load the
camera, you know?

Sure looks good from where I'm standing.

You ever been married?

Divorced. Okay, so you couldn't make one
woman happy. Try it with four.

Every day, all day.

Veinous peacock, dumb hen.

So you have no idea where we might find
Cindy.

If I knew that, I'd be hollering on the
phone, these women are supposed to carry

pagers. Right, ladies?

Okay, big smile.

Big smile. Give me that phone number we
found at the apartment. Perfect.

Big smile.

Bingo, pager number.

Can we use your phone?

Not one can, not one bottle.

Recycling. You know, pickings get
slimmer all the time.

The rich get richer and the poor get
nothing.

People.

You know what the owner will pay to get
this back?

It's all right, then I get the belt.

Colonel

says

she's been dead for at least three days,
which means Ben could have been

involved. Ben? What makes you think he's
got anything to do with this? Because

the murder weapon belongs to him.

The last time I saw it, it was around
his waist.

You sure it's Ben's belt?

Rachel bought it for him for Hanukkah. I
did the idea. I didn't want her to have

to go through all that.

Wait. They found a second set of prints
at the apartment?

We're running them right now.

Recognize this guy?

That's Pete Collins.

Foreman of the warehouse who ID'd Ben.

Interesting coincidence, but what's his
connection to Cindy Talbot? Good

question. There's more.

The FBI has a file on him.

I'm watching without a permit.

Not real big time.

Read what the march was about.

Keep America white rally.

So you think... Yeah, I do think.

This is the sketch of the guy who
vandalized the mini -mart.

You know, the one we got from the wife.

We got a match.

Get a warrant. We'll pick him up. He
hangs at the lighthouse on 3rd.

Not exactly a cultural melting pot, is
it?

Peter

Collins?

Hey, Commissioner.

Come to hoist a few?

We're under arrest.

Vandalism, malicious mischief, and
whatever else I can think of. Ooh,

mischief. I used to get sent to my room
for that.

Yeah. All right, you fellas want to go
with him?

I got no problem with that.

Old Chinese proverb says, when
confronted by a superior force, get out

way. You tell him, Pete.

That's it, Pete. Right on.

Good advice.

Up until about six months ago, you were
an economics major at Brown University.

Why'd you start getting involved in this
crap?

Patel had stole my father's job.

There went my tuition. So now I'm
working in a warehouse.

You're in a lot of trouble, Pete.

If I were you, I'd lose the attitude.

Trouble for what?

Knocking over some cans in some African
-American's mini -mart?

You know this girl?

Yeah, we went out a few times.

Jealous?

No, but you were.

She dumped you for Ben Metzger, an old
man and a Jew.

Right. What do you know about Cindy
Talbot's murder?

She's dead?

Yeah, she's dead.

You gonna tell me you knew nothing about
it?

I swear.

I'm in here on a vandalism beef. There's
no way you can pin a murder on me. No.

But Austin's another thing.

Cindy Talbot worked for Oscar Rothman.
Two of his factories were burnt down. I

think you did it. What?

Metzger worked for Rothman. Metzger
stole your girlfriend.

You were looking for revenge.

You're crazy. You better have an
airtight alibi as to where you were when

fires were set.

Tony. We got another fire.

Big one.

Gee, Officer Krupke, there goes the old
arson case.

So, if you've got nothing else...

Smoke inhalation? Yeah.

The fire marshal says it was probably
the same type of detonation device.

He's the third one. There may be more
inside. His ceiling collapsed.

This isn't even a Belgian -Mise factory.
That means the next one could be

anywhere. Tony, we can't watch every
warehouse in Eastbridge. We have to find

the bug.

We talk to every torch in New York and
run down every pro in the East Coast.

And Pauly?

Find out whose name is on the insurance
policy for the contents of that

building.

Hi.

Hi.

Couldn't sleep again, huh?

I heard about the fire on the news.

And about Cindy.

Rachel, I was going to tell you.

But you didn't want to upset me.

Look, why don't you go up to bed and try
to get some sleep?

The news said that there's a suspect in
the case.

Nothing definite, just a few leads.

I'm going to be up in a few minutes,
okay?

Your days are numbered, I'm telling you.

Okay,

you get your reprieve. But lay one paw
on my slippers and its curtains, you

understand me?

Scali.

Hey, Pauly.

You're sure? There's no doubt?

All right, yeah.

I know.

Is my father a murder suspect?

Rachel, you know how this goes. We're
looking at a lot of people. That's not

answer. I don't have any answers, Rach.

But you have leads. I want to know what
they are.

Why do you want to do that? All you're
going to do is go nuts second -guessing

the evidence. Don't I look like I'm
going nuts now?

Tony. The doctor who wouldn't tell my
mother that she was dying of cancer.

He said that he was trying to be kind,
but everybody else knew he wasn't. But

knew the truth. I don't.

Why are you doing this, honey?

Because I don't want to go through this
alone.

Cindy was strangled with your father's
belt.

What else?

There was an insurance policy on the
contents of the building that was burnt

tonight.

Ben was the beneficiary.

But he might not have known they were
going to torch the place.

Really believe that?

Rachel, this is exactly why I didn't
want to get into this right now.

There are a lot of explanations.

There's more right Yeah,

there were three fatalities tonight

No

Close the case.

My father's guilty. It's open and shut.
I wish it were.

It is.

Just write your report, Tony.

End it. You can do that. I can't. You
can. You have all the power.

It's not over, Rachel.

Why?

Because there's still another poem out
there.

We have less than 48 hours to find the
last firebomb if it was planted in East

Bridge.

Now, the first two fires happened in the
warehouse district, so we're going to

focus our manpower in this area.

We still have surveillance at the
Belgium East plant, but we can't be sure

to expect anymore.

That's it.

Boss, can you finish that computer
check?

Ben Metzger is a name on any other
insurance policy.

All right, he could be using an alias.
Keep cross -checking the other

beneficiaries to see if we can't trace
something back. On it.

We were checking out East Coast
Arsonist.

All right, Marvin Joukowsky's name's on
the bottom of the list. Turns out he got

into Eastbridge last night.

Marvin Joukowsky? Magic Joukowsky?

What's a mob torch doing in town unless
he had something to do with those fires?

I thought you might want to ask him that
in person. He's at the Sandpiper. Let's

go.

Magic!

Oh, come on. We're getting around Magic
to Calc. He got away from us. We're

never going to live this down.

Never.

Magic, I see you.

I wasn't out of shape.

You had never caught me.

I just want to ask you a couple of
questions.

And for answering these questions, I get
what?

Lunch?

Sure you guys don't want anything?

After what you ordered, all we can
afford is coffee.

Let's get down to business.

What are you doing here, Magic?

Having lunch.

What do you have to do with these fires?

Whoa, I was in Atlanta when those blew.

It wasn't me, Magic.

But you know something about them.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

Let's just say that certain parties who
prefer to remain anonymous don't like

these fires.

Like the mob?

Like I didn't say that.

What do they care about this?

Feds all fear that these certain parties
are the only ones that got the juice to

hire that kind of pro.

These certain parties do not like being
in the spotlight.

I'm here to convey this sentiment.

You're here to make the torch an offer
he can't refuse.

I've got to find him first.

Got any leads?

Nah, nothing you guys don't already
know.

Oh, that's it.

Oh, can I come in?

Oh, at these prices, I'd better find out
a lot more than how much you can put

away in a single sitting.

Okay, here's something you don't know.

The explosives, they come from an armory
heist that took place in Pennsylvania

six weeks ago.

Military don't even know they got hit
yet.

That's what you get for never checking
inventory.

Tell you something else you don't know.

Whoever's doing this also stole the C4
plastic explosives.

He uses all of that in his next gift
package.

Bomb number four is going to take out
half a city block.

They'll probably just come back tomorrow
and spray more swastikas.

They can make virtual reality video.
You'd think they could make graffiti

walls.

Hold on. I forgot my jacket. Be right
back.

Excuse me.

I'm Police Commissioner Scali. David is
our son. Is he all right? Commissioner

Scali.

Is he all right?

He's pretty banged up.

What?

David.

What do they do?

He's a tough kid. He'll be fine.

How do you feel, son?

Bad. I ache.

But good, because I hit one of them
pretty hard.

Yeah?

Came the old scally hook?

Yeah, and then they all jumped me.

Cowards. I marked up the walls again.

Tried to stop them.

Hey, did you get a look at one of them?
Yeah.

Good.

Well, at some point tomorrow, we're
going to get you down to the station,

you look at some mug shots.

Okay? Mug shots?

Cool.

Collins, you're under arrest.

I don't know.

I'm not done with you.

Run around.

This is everything Colin's had in his
pockets when you and Paulie arrested the

boss. Anything unusual?

Not that I could see.

Credit cards, driver's license,
membership in a gun club.

No surprise there.

This is Edward Esklin's card.

He's Cindy Talbot's photographer, the
girl who was murdered.

Well, what's Collins' connection to
Esklin?

Got it.

A detonator for a bomb?

We got less than 15 minutes.

We found it under his leather -bound
copy of Mein Kampf.

Oh, he's our guy, all right. Not that we
can prove it.

We're just going to have to make him
think we can. Yeah, but there's one

detail. We don't have a case against
this guy.

It all depends on how you present it to
him.

I'm not talking to you. I want a lawyer.

A lawyer steps in here and we can't
deal. What do we make a deal for? You

nothing on me except for some assault
charge.

Yes, again.

What's with that?

This is a detonation device for a bomb.

You know where we found it?

Your apartment.

We craved it.

Compared it to what we found at the
other fire.

Know what?

They all come from the same place.

That ties you to the other fires.

Well, it's a frame.

There were three deaths in the third
fire. That's three counts of murder.

Do you know what that means?

Special circumstances.

You're a dead man.

I told you I didn't plant those. I
swear.

Look, maybe I bought a few parts for
somebody, but... I had nothing to do

those fires. I don't even know how to
build a phone bomb.

Son of a bitch, don't lie to me. You
just said phone bomb.

We didn't release that information.

Only the person who planted them could
have known that, okay?

But somebody else built them and set
them off.

I just planted them.

Now, you said I could deal, right?

Depends. On what? The information and
how fast I get it.

I get my instructions from a P .O. box.

Whoever it is signs his initial C .W. I
don't give a damn about that. I want you

to tell me where you planted the bomb.

That bump goes off in 14 minutes.

Once that happens, the deal's off, and
you're headed directly to the chair, and

I will personally be there to flick the
switch.

Where is it?

Where?

There it is, right back here.

No trigger here.

See if the explosives are still here.

He left the gasoline, took the
explosives and the dynamite.

Why would he do that?

Colin swears that that's where he
planted the bomb.

So our mysterious CW must have moved it.

Now what?

Go back to the drawing board.

So where do you want to start?

Let's start with the people.

What's the connection between Collins,
Cindy, Ben, and this unknown C .W.?

They're all connected to the stolen
blouses, right? So why don't we follow

money trail?

Who stood to gain the most?

We're assuming that money was the motive
for these fireballs.

Yeah, well, it's not a bad assumption.
But Pete is part of the white

Let's look at two things.

Ties to the white resistance and ties to
the garment industry.

Okay.

This is a list of white resistance
contributors we found in Pete's

I haven't had a chance to go over there.

Edward Estillin is on this list.

Let's go talk to him.

Looks like we won't be getting any
answers out of Ed.

History of the Treblinka death camp.

That's your basic bedtime reading. Hey,
wait a minute, Tony. Look at this.

Tony, there's a lab report on that cloth
we found in Eskimo's hand.

Mm -hmm. It matches material used by
Dalshamis.

Well, start checking every store that
sells the wine. Oh, wait, you haven't

heard the good news.

The clothing this stuff's made out of
isn't even on the market yet.

Then only someone who works at
Belshamese would be wearing something

it. Right. So we get a list of
Belshamese employees, and our killer's

be on it somewhere.

Let's start with someone with a motive.

Oscar Rothman?

Rothman finds out Esselin was bombing
his plants. He might have killed him.

It was a pretty brutal murder, Tony. You
think Rothman's the type?

I'm not sure.

Let's run a complete check on Oscar
Rothman. We've already done that. This

I want to find out about Rothman before
he immigrated.

We have lots on several Oscar Rothmans.

Take your choice. One from column A, two
from column B.

Yeah, but the one we're looking for was
born in Dusseldorf, Germany on May 21st,

1917.

Yeah, naturalized November 22nd, 1956.

We need his records from Germany.

I don't have that.

This is just since he arrived in the U
.S.

But through the miracle of computers, I
can get you something.

The Internet knows all.

I've accessed the databases all over the
world.

Scary, huh?

That's why I don't have credit cards. I
don't vote or drive.

Keeps me out of most computer systems.

Are you sure you got the right Oscar
Rothman?

Treblinka Concentration Camp, 1943.

That's him.

I don't see how he could have been
naturalized in 1956.

Why not?

Because he died in Treblinka in 1945.

And there's no other way to trace him?

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll be in touch.

Auf Wiedersehen to you, too.

When in Germany, they verified
Brothman's death.

So then who the hell is this guy,
really?

There's only one way to find out, and
that's to run his prints.

Well, that should be easy enough.

No, I don't want to tip Rothmore onto
him. So you want me to make him milk run

over to Belshamee so I can get him on
some pretext?

I got someone who can lift him easier
and who's dying to help us.

Your father didn't have too many
personal things, just in his desk.

Sorry it took me so long to get to it. I
understand.

Sarah?

He talked about her a lot.

And David.

I know all about your kids, believe me.

He really talked about him? Oh, yeah.

She's really beautiful.

You're lucky.

You never got married?

Papa always needed me too much.

I guess I married the bell chemise.

Rachel, I'm truly sorry for what you're
going through.

It must be terrible for you.

I believe my father is innocent.

I hope he is.

I really do.

If you need any extra boxes or help
moving things just let me know.

Thanks.

Mission accomplished.

I didn't recognize the place without
newspapers all over the floor.

Some girl answered the ad.

Says Misha's her dog.

Her real name's Daisy.

Oh, I'm sorry about that, champ.

Yeah, we were all getting so attached.

She ought to be here any minute.

Honey.

Why do I feel so guilty?

People are supposed to fall in love with
dogs.

That's because no one tells you they're
walking buzz saws.

Four pairs of socks have gone missing.

I know. Not to mention we've got teeth
marks all over the couch. And the stain

on my office rug.

And the hole in the leather chair.

Okay.

I don't feel guilty.

I'm Tim Raphael, and this is Margo. Hi.

Daisy.

That's not Daisy.

It's not?

Honey, are you sure?

Take a closer look. We gave her a bath.

I'm sure.

Wait a minute, Margo.

I can't really keep her.

I'm not home all that much, and she
needs the company.

Leave, Daddy.

Okay.

Thank you, son.

Hey, enjoy your puppy.

Nice to meet you. Thank you. Sure.

Have fun.

Bye -bye.

Now, David, I'm really proud of you.

Mother's right. That was a really nice
thing to do.

Yeah. Well, we should get ready for
Temple.

It wasn't so nice.

I wanted to get rid of the dog.

She chewed on my baseball glove, gave me
fleas, and peed on my math book.

Guess you're not so proud of me now,
huh?

Kid, you'd be surprised.

Getting online on the weekend, gang?

This is from Germany. They ran Rothman's
fingerprints.

Oscar Rothman is really Carl Wolf, a
soldier in the Third Reich.

Exactly where he was during the war was
classified, and then the files were lost

in a fire.

So he passed himself off as a death camp
survivor?

Probably the easiest way to emigrate.

That's sick.

And we just found the guy who built
those bombs.

Engineering degree, Libsig, 1941.

Drafted into the Army, 1941.

Area of expertise, explosives.

But why'd he move the bomb?

To defuse it?

Maybe the target changed.

Kitty, I need to speak with your father.

I have a search warrant.

What is it this time?

How much do you know about your father's
life in Germany?

I know that he spent three years in a
death camp.

I know that he watched them lead his
first wife away.

We sent your father's fingerprints to
the German authorities.

you should read this.

I'm sorry, Kitty.

There's something with Dick.

Tony.

We found this in the closet in Rothman's
office.

Explosive residue on the bottom.

And the box comes from that armory that
was hit in Pennsylvania.

Kitty, help us find him.

He's got the rest of the explosives with
him. We don't have much time.

Where did he go?

I don't know.

I don't know. There's got to be some
pattern we're not seeing. Some reason

Rothman changed the target.

All right, let's see. First, the
engineer has two fires.

Then he kills the model.

Then he kills Estelin.

Then he changes the location. Estelin.

What? He moved the location of the last
bomb after he killed Estelin.

Something must have happened there that
made him move it.

Long white resistance leaflet.

Signed by the elusive C .W.

Hey, C .W. Carl Wolf.

Rothman's behind the white resistance?

But I don't get it. Why is he bombing
his own place?

To create an alibi? He's going after the
insurance money.

Which his company doesn't need.

But maybe the resistance does.

They use the insurance money for
propaganda, thugs, and firebombs.

Hello.

It's a book on death camps.

Limited edition.

Page

is

missing.

The chapter that's missing is on
Treblinka.

Yeah.

That's where the real Oscar Rothman
died, right?

Uh -huh. You think his picture was in
the book?

Maybe, but I'm wondering why Wolf chose
to be Rothman. I mean, how did he even

know Rothman?

Who knows?

Maybe they were neighbors before the
war.

Maybe he was Wolf's tailor.

Well, maybe they met at Treblinka.

Take a look at these pictures.

Notice anything?

A lot of soldiers.

Exactly.

These pictures are of German soldiers,
not of prisoners.

You know what?

Rothman's picture wasn't taken out of
this book.

It was Wolfe's picture.

If he was a death camp commander, he'd
still be wanted for war crimes.

So that's it.

Estelin figured out who he really was.

That's a great motive for murder.

Yeah, but he's still got a problem.

If Estelin can find those pictures, so
can somebody else.

Unless he manages to destroy the
originals.

which is where his next bomb's going to
be.

Hey, Ronnie, did you hear from Rabbi
Grimmill yet?

I just talked to the temple. The
originals of the pictures in that book

the Holocaust Study Center over at the
temple on East Tennessee.

That's Rachel's temple.

Rachel and David just went to the
services there. Ronnie, get the bomb

there right away. Get the people out of
the area.

Check all the phones.

Roger that.

And get Rothman's daughter there as soon
as possible.

I'll be back with the temple right now.
Thank you.

Please, there's no cause for alarm.

But we must exit the temple as quickly
as we can.

Protect the phones. There are clean
canine units on the way. All right. Set

one -block perimeter.

I want everyone on it. Tell me. Rachel.

Everyone's got to move.

There's a bomb in the synagogue.

My God.

Excuse me.

All right, everyone, we need to clear
this area.

Come on, let's get inside. This thing
could be anywhere.

Well, Herr Wolf, where'd you put it?

I don't know what you're talking about.
The hell you don't.

What's this phone for?

Obviously for making phone calls, you
know.

All right, Herr Wolf, let's make a phone
call.

Wait, I don't understand. Come on.

Wait, I don't understand.

Let's stop wasting time.

Are you going to tell me where it is?

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

Where what is?

Good.

Then you won't mind dialing a phone
number for me.

Like the number of this temple.

It's a pleasure.

It's 555 -555

-0182.

0 -1 -

Now hit send.

Of course.

Send.

Okay.

Any problem?

No. I hit send.

Hello?

Singing.

Have my phone back, please.

You forgot to turn it off.

Thank you.

Oh, look here.

A Jewish book fair.

Just a minute.

There's one more phone call I'd like you
to make.

I want you to dial that number, the fax
number.

Dial the number.

555 -0170.

Five zero one seven zero

You

saw

nothing

All is fertig.

And that means finished in German.

So, what happens now?

I'm going to send you back to Germany as
a war criminal.

All I did was carry out the orders.

of my superiors.

Besides, I owe those people nothing.

What about your daughter?

What do you owe her?

I don't think that's any of your
business.

This is what you were trying to destroy.

Hesselman found out about you, didn't
he?

So you killed him.

He was a common blackmailer.

Then you killed Cindy Talbot because she
found out you were responsible for the

fires.

I want you to tell my wife that her
father was completely innocent.

Your wife?

Yes, my wife.

He was a Jew.

Why?

Why did you do it? The book with those
dates and the money?

Use your head, for God's sakes. Once
Cindy found out, then I was afraid other

people would find out, you know.

And then someone had to assume the
blame.

So I used your father.

You didn't think any of this would lead
back to you?

I didn't.

Think for a minute that you would have
the brains to

figure it out.

It wasn't your father.

It was mine.
