EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT?

ANYBODY HIT? ANYBODY?

JACK.

THIS IS MANNION.

I NEED ALL AVAILABLE UNITS TO KANSAS AND 16th,

THE CORNER. WE'VE HAD SHOTS FIRED.

GET ME AN AMBULANCE RIGHT AWAY.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A BLACK '92 CADILLAC--

COUPE DE VILLE, I THINK--

4 OCCUPANTS, ALL ARMED AND DANGEROUS.

YEAH. RIGHT AWAY.

Boy: ¡MAMÁ!

¡MAMÁ!

¡NO, MAMÁ, NO!

¡POR FAVOR, NO!

RAMON, EN UN MES, MANDO POR TI.

1, 2, AND 3.

MA'AM, SLOW DOWN, PLEASE.

DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?

CAN SOMEONE TRANSLATE FOR ME HERE?

ALL RIGHT, CAN YOU GIVE ME A DESCRIPTION OF THE SECOND DRIVER?

NOPE. I DIDN'T SEE 'EM.

I JUST KEPT MY HEAD DOWN.

YOUR GIRLFRIEND TOLD ME YOU KNEW THE OTHER GUY.

I DON'T HAVE NO GIRLFRIEND, ALL RIGHT?

AND I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY.

WHATEVER.

THE BOY WHO WAS SHOT, YOU KNOW HIM?

PERO NO ME RECUERDO DE NOMBRE DE ELLO.

¡NO ME RECUERDO! EXPLÍCALE A ELLA.

SHE'S SEEN HIM BEFORE, BUT DOESN'T KNOW HIS NAME.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

EVERYONE HERE CALLED HIM EL PRESIDENTE.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

HE WORE FANCY SHOES.

YO NO QUIERO HABLA CON ELLA. YA--

PERO TÚ ESTÁS-- LO TE MATA.

OH, I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN SO SCARED, JACK,

AND YOU JUST RAN AT THE BULLETS.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S WHY I GET THE BIG BUCKS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

WE'RE READY, SIR.

MENDOZA?

HASN'T ARRIVED YET.

WOULD YOU PAGE HIM AGAIN?

YEAH.

THANKS.

ALL RIGHT, GWEN. WE HAD A WITNESS STEP FORWARD

THAT RECOGNIZED ONE OF THE KIDS

RUNNING AWAY FROM THE SCENE,

AND I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAN RECOGNIZE HIM.

SURE. WHAT DO YOU NEED ME TO DO?

WELL, WE'VE GOT THEM LINED UP OUT THERE.

I WANT YOU TO SEE IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY HIM.

1 THROUGH 6, LEFT TO RIGHT.

[MURMURS UNDER HER BREATH]

WHAT--WHICH ONE WAS THE WITNESS NOT SURE ABOUT?

I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.

BUT IT'S NOT THAT ONE, RIGHT?

I MEAN, IT'S NOT HIM RIGHT THERE.

GWEN, I JUST SAID I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.

JACK.

THAT'S HIM. THAT'S MILES.

I KNOW IT'S HIM.

MILES! GWEN.

YOU CAN'T TALK--GWEN.

MILES.

OHH...

AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU?

IT'S ME, BABY.

I'M YOUR MOTHER.

LADY, YOU'RE CRAZY. MY MAMA'S DEAD.

OH.

OH, I'M--I'M SORRY.

I--I THOUGHT--

I GUESS I MADE A MISTAKE.

I'M SORRY.

THIS MORNING AN AUTO THEFT TURNED INTO A GANG TURF WAR,

AND A YOUNG BOY WAS KILLED.

DEAD BOY WAS A MEMBER OF A LATIN GANG, MARA LLANO VERDE.

M.L.V.

DID I PRONOUNCE THAT RIGHT, CAPTAIN?

MM-HMM. THE SHOOTERS ARE STILL AT LARGE.

THEY'RE MOST LIKELY ASSOCIATED

WITH THE 26th STREET GANG.

SO THAT'S 3 DEAD LATIN GANG MEMBERS IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS,

ALL ASSOCIATED WITH CAR THEFTS.

NOT A COINCIDENCE, PEOPLE.

THEY KNOW WE'RE NOT DOING OUR JOB.

CAR THEFTS ARE UP.

RECOVERIES AND COLLARS ARE DOWN.

CHIEF MANNION.

SO, DETECTIVE DEBRENO, WHAT AREN'T WE DOING?

WELL, THE BAIT CAR PROGRAM WAS SUSPENDED, SO...

WE'RE DOING THINGS THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

SO THE BAIT CAR PROGRAM GETS SUSPENDED,

AND NOW WE'RE 2 STEPS BEHIND THESE CREWS.

Temple: 4.

THE TYPES OF CARS THAT BEING STOLEN DON'T FIT THE PROFILE.

THERE ARE NO NEW CHOP SHOPS.

THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT ARE ABANDONED OR TORCHED IS DECREASING,

WHICH MEANS THESE CARS ARE DISAPPEARING.

THEY'RE TAKING THESE CARS OUT OF THE DISTRICT.

AND WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO, PARRAS?

WE NEED TO GET OFF OUR BUTTS

AND FIND OUT WHERE THEY'RE TAKING THEM.

COMMANDER DRYDEN, DID YOU KNOW

THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CARS FOUND IN EL SALVADOR

ARE STOLEN FROM THIS COUNTRY?

NO, SIR, I DIDN'T. WELL, THEY ARE.

THAT MEANS SOMEBODY'S GOING TO A LOT OF TROUBLE

TO GET THEM DOWN THERE. JOE?

Nolan: ALL RIGHT. WHERE, WHEN, HOW, AND WHY?

THAT'S YOUR FOCUS.

GO TO WORK. DISMISSED.

NANCY,

THIS KID THAT WAS KILLED THIS MORNING,

FIND OUT WHO HE IS. I WANT TO BURY HIM WITH A NAME.

YES, SIR.

HEY, TEMPLE.

YEAH?

MENDOZA? I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON, ELSA. DIGAME.

I TOLD YOU ALREADY. I DON'T KNOW.

I WASN'T WITH ARMANDO...YESTERDAY.

HEY, GUS.

WHAT ARE YOU, SICK?

NO, SIR.

FAMILY PROBLEMS?

NO, SIR.

THOUGHT YOU MUST HAVE LOST THE ADDRESS TO THE STATION,

'CAUSE WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU THERE.

THE CRIME'S OUT ON THE STREET, NOT IN MY OFFICE.

OH.

WELL, LET'S SEE. YOU'RE HEAD OF THE GANG TASK FORCE,

AND YOU DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW UP AT A CRIME SCENE?

THAT KIND OF BOTHERS ME.

THE 26th STREET GANG

FOUND ONE OF ARMANDO GUTIERREZ'S CREW

JACKING A CAR ON THEIR TURF.

ONE OF ARMANDO'S CREW WAS KILLED.

UH-HUH. I KEEP UP WITH CURRENT EVENTS.

YEAH, SO DO WE.

IF YOU'D BEEN TO COMSTAT, YOU'D KNOW THAT.

STATISTICS AND DOTS ON A MAP

AREN'T THE REMEDY TO WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE.

IT'S OVERWHELMING.

WHY DON'T YOU ASK FOR HELP?

CAN I GET 25 OFFICERS WHO SPEAK SPANISH

ASSIGNED TO MY DETAIL BY TOMORROW?

CAN WE REDEFINE THE JUVENILE CRIMINAL LAWS?

BECAUSE THESE THUGS ARE KIDS,

AND BY THE TIME THEY GET THROUGH THE JUVIE PROCESS,

IN A MONTH OR TWO, THEY'RE BACK OUT

DOING WHAT GOT THEM IN TROUBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AND THEN THERE'S THE IMMIGRANT PROBLEM--

YOU WANT ME TO ASK FOR HELP?

WHERE DO I START, SIR?

WITH ME.

I FOUND IT IN HIS PANTS POCKET.

IT COULD BE HIS MOM.

SAME NOSE AND CHIN.

THIS KID WAS ILLEGAL.

SEE HOW EMACIATED HE IS?

HASN'T BEEN IN THE COUNTRY LONG ENOUGH TO FATTEN UP.

I FOUND DEPOSITS OF SOOT INSIDE HIS NOSTRILS.

YEAH. FROM RIDING THE TRAINS UP HERE?

YOU CHECK OUT HIS FINGERTIPS?

THE YELLOW STAINS?

FROM SNIFFING GLUE.

DEADENS THE HUNGER. MAKES THE TRIP BEARABLE.

WHY WASHINGTON?

WHY NOT STOP IN MIAMI OR PALM BEACH?

HE'S PROBABLY GOT FAMILY HERE...

OR SOMEBODY THINKS IS FAMILY.

I MEAN, SOMEBODY SPEAKS THE SAME LANGUAGE,

IS FROM THE SAME AREA.

RAT BITES.

MOST LIKELY PICKED UP

CRAWLING THROUGH BORDER-CROSSING TUNNELS,

BEING SMUGGLED IN PRODUCE TRUCKS.

AND THE BRUISES...

LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN IN A FIGHT.

MORE LIKE A BEATING.

THERE'S NO MARKS ON HIS KNUCKLES.

I DON'T THINK THE KID THREW A PUNCH.

ALL THIS BRUISING ON HIS NECK.

HOW LONG, DO YOU THINK?

2 DAYS.

YOU FIGURE OUT WHO HE IS YET?

NO.

[LOUDSPEAKER]

Man on loudspeaker: ¡POLICÍA FRONTERESA!

Mannion: WELL, I TRIED TO CALL YOU.

YOU OK?

NO, I'M NOT.

I'M AFRAID THAT I'M GOING TO FORGET WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

NOW EVERY KID I SEE REMINDS ME OF MILES.

YOU KNOW, SINCE THE DAY THAT THAT--

THAT SOCIAL WORKER, SHE CAME AND SHE TOOK MY BABY FROM ME.

JACK, I'VE STUDIED THE FACES OF KIDS IN THE STREET AND IN PARKS

AND IN STORES, AND I'M JUST--I'M JUST THINKING

THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT I MIGHT SEE HIM.

I MEAN, I'M JUST HOPING THAT I CAN SEE HIM AGAIN

SO I CAN TELL HIM THAT,

"I'M COMING BACK FOR YOU, BABY.

WE'LL GET YOU BACK."

YOU THINK I'M CRAZY, TOO, DON'T YOU?

NO, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE CRAZY. I MEAN...

YOU'RE A LITTLE CRAZY.

GWEN, EVERY MOTHER KNOWS HER CHILD.

WHAT IS THAT OVER THERE?

WAIT A MINUTE.

BY GOLLY, YOU HAD SOMETHING IN YOUR HAIR.

HE WAS TUTORING ENGLISH IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,

SO I HAD ONE OF THE UNIS GET HIS PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS.

[WEEPING] GWEN.

HE RESPONDED TO "MILES." I MEAN,

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN YOU WALKED AWAY--

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN HIS EYES,

AND--AND HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU, GWEN.

BUT EVEN IF THIS IS HIM, I CAN'T PURSUE THIS.

THERE'S A RESTRAINING ORDER UNTIL HE'S 18.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GWEN HENDRIX THAT I KNOW--

FIGHTS INJUSTICE?

THAT, UH, ANY TIME THE SYSTEM SCREWS UP,

SHE BREAKS ANY RULE THERE IS?

THE ONE THAT IS WILLING TO GO UP AGAINST ANY OBSTACLE

NO MATTER HOW POWERFUL.

THE--THE GWEN HENDRIX WHO'S MORE POWERFUL THAN A SPEEDING BULLET

AND--AND A LOCOMOTIVE AND JUMPS OFF OF THINGS.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT.

SHE'S BACK. ALL RIGHT.

ATTAGIRL.

COME ON. HUH?

RIGHT. THANKS.

ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE WELCOME.

[SPANISH SINGER ON RADIO]

UH-UH. SAY IT.

WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.

IT WILL TO ME, SO SAY IT.

I KNOW YOU DO. UH-HUH.

I KNOW YOU DO, SO SAY IT.

WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF?

IF WE KEEP DOING THIS,

YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET OUT OF HERE.

Debreno: THE PROBLEM IS?

WHO THE HELL IS HE?

TICO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CALL BEFORE YOU COME OVER.

¡LARGA TE!

[DOOR CLOSES]

EXACTLY HOW MANY GUYS HAVE A KEY TO YOUR APARTMENT?

HE'S MY BROTHER.

DEBRENO!

DEBRENO, DO NOT GET COMFORTABLE.

ALL RIGHT, THE STOLEN S.U.V. HAD A TRACKING DEVICE.

INSURANCE COMPANY'S GONNA LET US

TAKE THE FIRST SHOT AT IT. HERE.

YOU LISTENING TO ME, SON? YEAH, SURE.

ALL RIGHT, THE THIEVES ARE GONNA PARK THE CAR

TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT HOT.

YOU SET UP A SURVEILLANCE.

WHEN THEY SHOW UP, LET THEM TAKE THE CAR.

WE'RE GONNA FOLLOW 'EM, FIND OUT WHERE IT'S CHOPPED OR SHIPPED.

ALL RIGHT, FIND YOUR PARTNER. FIND THIS CAR.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TOO, SIR.

DO NOT SIT DOWN, SON! GO TO WORK!

HEY, GUS.

CHIEF.

GOOD MORNING.

THIS SURPRISE VISIT THING YOU DO,

ONLY THE TWO OF US SHARE?

I JUST CARE ABOUT YOU.

SEE, I'D NEVER AMBUSH ANOTHER COP LIKE THIS.

THANK YOU, SIR. YOU'RE WELCOME.

NO, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT,

AND I MAY HAVE SOME SOLUTIONS, YOU KNOW.

YOU CAN GET ME THE MEN I NEED?

NO. I TOLD YOU, I CAN'T DO THAT,

BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS TAKE MANPOWER.

SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LITTLE BRAINPOWER.

WE TAKE THE LAWS AS THEY EXIST ON THE BOOKS,

AND WE MAKE THEM WORK OUR WAY.

CHIEF, I'M TELLING YOU, THIS THING IS--

NOT IMPOSSIBLE. JUST TAKES PATIENCE.

CUIDADO, CABRÓN.

OYE.

RIVAL GANGS. LOS SALAVDOREÑOS.

SALVADORIAN.

IT'S TRUCE TERRITORY HERE. THAT'S WHY I HANG OUT.

SEE THE NEW FACES, WHO THEY'RE WITH,

CHECK THE ATTITUDE, SEE IF SOMETHING'S COMING.

THAT'S LUCAS RIVERA. HE'S A TOUGH CHARACTER.

MET HIM 2 YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS A SCARED KID,

COULDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.

Jack: WELL, THEY GOTTA EAT, DON'T THEY?

SEE, WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS WE SET UP SHOP

IN FAST-FOOD PLACES LIKE THIS.

PUT SOME COPS IN HERE,

START ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS,

ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW RECRUITS

BEFORE THEY GET JUMPED IN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THEY'LL JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER PLACE.

THEN WE MOVE, TOO.

THE EL SALVADORIAN GANGS ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE RECENT INCREASE IN PROPERTY CRIME,

AUTO THEFTS, DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND EXTORTION.

M.L.V.

THEY'RE RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS

AT THE RATE OF 30 PER WEEK--

IMMIGRANTS, MOST OF 'EM,

KIDS WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH.

THERE'S A PYRAMID OF POWER THAT CONNECTS ALL THE WAY

BACK TO THE CARTELS IN EL SALVADOR.

WHO DO THEY REPORT TO IN WASHINGTON, D.C.?

WELL, THESE FACES AND PEOPLE CHANGE ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

CURRENTLY ON THE SOUTHEAST

THERE'S A 15-YEAR-OLD KID WHO RUNS A CREW OF 25.

Jack: HOW OLD?

15-YEAR-OLD, CHIEF.

NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF LITTLE MOBSTERS.

JOE, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT RICO?

ORGANIZED CRIME ACT? Jack: YEAH.

WORKED IN NEW YORK TO HELP BRING DOWN THE MOB.

INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER 'EM ONE GANG MEMBER AT A TIME,

WE BRING DOWN THE WHOLE KIT AND CABOODLE AT ONCE.

PLUS, THE OTHER BEAUTY OF RICO

IS YOU CAN PROSECUTE JUVENILE AS AN ADULT.

Joe: WHERE YOU GOING?

HEY, GUS, HOW DO YOU SAY, "KIT AND CABOODLE," IN SPANISH?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

AH, GRACIAS, AMIGO.

BRUCE, BRUCE. COME HERE, COME HERE.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING.

WHAT IS IT NOW, MANNION?

YOU CAN'T SAY, "HI, JACK.

HOW ARE YOU? HOW'S IT GOING?"

I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT'S A RHETORICAL QUESTION.

YEAH, WELL, I GOT ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU.

BRUCE, LISTEN, ARE YOU AWARE

THAT WE HAVE A NEW GANG PROBLEM HERE IN D.C.?

YEAH. M.L.V.

M.L.V.

I'M THINKING THAT WE CAN TAKE 'EM DOWN

WITH RICO.

WELL, OK, RICO WORKED AGAINST THE MOB

BECAUSE WE PROVED IT WAS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, RIGHT?

SO YOU KNOW THAT M.L.V. IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE,

NOT JUST A BUNCH OF KIDS STEALING CARS?

YOU KNOW THAT?

WELL, THEY'RE STEALING CARS OR KILLING PEOPLE.

MURDER AND CAR THEFT.

THAT'S ENOUGH TO BRING CHARGES RIGHT THERE.

HOW MANY CARS?

ONE THAT WE KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT.

WE'RE LOOKING INTO SOME OTHER LEADS.

COME ON, BRUCE, THERE WERE 15 CARS STOLEN

ALONE JUST LAST WEEK.

YEAH, JACK, LOOK, GREAT IDEAS

NEED LANDING GEAR AS WELL AS WINGS.

OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL! WHO SAID THAT, EDISON?

IT'S ON MY SECRETARY'S COFFEE CUP.

BUT, SERIOUSLY, STEALING A CAR

IS NOT A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.

WE'RE TALKING, LIKE, 20 CARS MINIMUM HERE.

SO DO ME A FAVOR, NEXT TIME YOU HIT ME UP,

JUST BRING ME THE LANDING GEAR, OK?

MY EX-HUSBAND WAS ACCUSED OF CHILD ABUSE,

AND WHEN I STOOD BY HIM

AND DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT HE WAS GUILTY,

THEY DECLARED ME AN UNFIT MOTHER AND TOOK MILES AWAY.

WELL, THAT SHOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN TEMPORARY.

I JUST COULDN'T ACCEPT THAT. I FOUGHT BACK.

MAKING IT ONLY WORSE.

YEAH. I HARASSED THE FOSTER FAMILIES.

I FOLLOWED HIM TO SCHOOL.

ONE DAY, I TOOK HIM. IT WAS JUST FOR THE DAY.

THAT'S WHEN THEY DECLARED ME

AN UNFIT MOTHER AND TOOK AWAY MY PARENTAL RIGHTS

AND FORCED A RESTRAINING ORDER.

GWEN, IF THIS YOUNG MAN IS YOUR SON,

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF TIME

AND CERTAINLY COST A LOT OF MONEY

TO PURSUE CUSTODY.

I DON'T CARE.

I'VE MISSED THE LAST 7 YEARS OF HIS LIFE.

HE'S LIVING IN A MIDDLE-CLASS 2-PARENT FAMILY.

HE HAS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COMPETE WITH ALL THAT.

I'M HIS BIOLOGICAL MOTHER.

I DIDN'T GIVE HIM UP FOR ADOPTION.

THEY TOOK HIM FROM ME.

AND THEN THEY MANIPULATED THE SYSTEM

SO I COULDN'T GET HIM BACK.

WELL, THEY'RE GONNA ASK HIM WHAT HE WANTS.

HE'S 14 YEARS OLD.

HOW CAN HE MAKE THAT KIND OF DECISION?

[SIGHS]

YOU DON'T THINK I SHOULD DO THIS.

NO. THAT'S NOT IT.

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE PREPARED

FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING HIM TWICE.

THERE ARE 2 VERY GOOD LAWYERS I KNOW

WHO HANDLE THESE KIND OF CASES.

I'LL TALK TO THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK.

IF THIS IS MILES, I'M NOT GONNA LOSE HIM.

I AM NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN.

THINGS WILL BE QUIETER IN MY OFFICE.

I.N.S. IS HOUSING IMMIGRANT KIDS

WITH VIOLENT OFFENDERS?

GOVERNMENT LEASES HOLDING FACILITIES WHERE THEY CAN GET THEM.

UNACCOMPANIED KIDS FLOODING INTO THE COUNTRY

IS A PROBLEM POLICY HASN'T KEPT PACE WITH.

UH-HUH.

I.N.S.'s ROLE IS DETENTION AND DEPORTATION FIRST,

CHILD WELFARE SECOND.

SOME OF THE KIDS GET PLACED IN FOSTER CARE.

MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THEY GET SHIPPED BACK HOME,

IF THEY EVEN HAVE A HOME TO GO TO.

DO YOU KNOW THIS BOY?

WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE HE WAS HOUSED HERE.

YES.

HIS NAME WAS RAMON.

THAT'S ALL HE'D TELL ME.

Nancy: YOU CONSIDER THESE CHILDREN A FLIGHT RISK?

FRANKLY, YES.

THEY'VE SEEN TOO MUCH CORRUPTION

IN THEIR SHORT LIVES TO TRUST US.

I'M GUESSING IT DIDN'T KEEP RAMON FROM RUNNING.

NO.

DID RAMON ASSOCIATE WITH GANG MEMBERS, MR. DORMAN?

I DON'T THINK SO.

RAMON WAS A SWEET KID.

UH-HUH.

WELL, HE WAS KILLED ATTEMPTING TO STEAL A CAR,

HAVING SOMETHING TO DO WITH GANG WARFARE.

YOU KNOW, OFFICER,

THESE KIDS DON'T TRAVEL 2,000 MILES THROUGH HELL

WITH THE DREAM OF COMING TO AMERICA

TO HOOK UP WITH A GANG.

THEY COME TO ESCAPE POVERTY

OR BRUTALITY OR TO FIND FAMILY, WORK.

THESE KIDS SHOW UP LOST, AFRAID, AND THEY GRAVITATE

TOWARDS ANYBODY THAT SPEAKS THEIR LANGUAGE,

SOMETHING THE GANGS PROVIDE THEM.

I GUESS BOYS LIKE RAMON DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE.

IF THEY RESIST, THE GANGS JUST BEAT THEM INTO IT.

HOLA.

TENGO FRÍO EN MIS PIES.

WHAT'S HE SAYING?

HE SAYS HIS FEET ARE COLD.

ARE THESE THEIR SHOES?

Dorman: YEAH.

THERE'S A D.C. NUMBER WRITTEN INSIDE THIS SHOE.

THEIR MOTHER'S.

SHE'S WORKING AS A NANNY FOR A LOCAL COUPLE.

THESE TWO ARE LUCKY.

THEY WON'T GET SENT BACK.

MOM'S LANDED CITIZENSHIP.

DO YOU STILL HAVE RAMON'S SHOES?

WERE YOU ABLE TO TRACE THE NUMBER?

IT WAS LISTED TO A MARKET

IN A TOWN CALLED IZALCO, EL SALVADOR.

HUH. AS A KID, WE LIVED IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING.

THERE WAS ONE PHONE, DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY,

USED BY ABOUT 20 FAMILIES.

THIS HUNT CAN CONTINUE TOMORROW.

RIGHT.

NIGHT, CHIEF.

GOOD NIGHT.

HEY, STAY AWAY FROM THE BUS STATIONS, ALL RIGHT?

THE I.N.S. CAMPS THERE. YOU UNDERSTAND?

NO INGLÉS.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK, KID. VÁMONOS.

Temple: SUSPECT APPROACHING OUR STOLEN VEHICLE.

UNIT 318, PAGE AND DEBRENO, STANDING BY.

[ENGINE STARTS, SPANISH SINGER ON RADIO]

Pilot: UNIT 318, WE'VE LOST SIGHT.

JUST DROP ME HERE.

I GOT NOTHING HERE.

[GUNSHOT]

PUT YOUR HANDS OUT THE WINDOW!

PUT 'EM UP!

DO IT!

GET OUT OF THE CAR.

GET OUT OF THE CAR!

ALL RIGHT, ARMANDO,

ONE MORE TIME, JUST FOR MY PEA BRAIN, OK?

YOU WERE SAYING...

YOU THOUGHT DETECTIVE PAGE WAS TRYING TO STEAL THE CAR

THAT YOU HAD ALREADY STOLEN?

HOW DOES THAT WORK?

DIDN'T STEAL IT. IGNITION WAS POPPED

WHEN WE FOUND IT.

OH, SO YOU JUST BORROWED IT?

YEAH. THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.

A LITTLE JOYRIDING.

WE WAS GONNA PUT IT BACK,

AND THEN HE STARTED CHASING US.

HE IS DETECTIVE PAGE.

I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS A COP.

I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS JACKING ME.

WHAT ABOUT THE HELICOPTER OVERHEAD, EINSTEIN?

DIDN'T THAT GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF CLUE?

COULD'VE BEEN TERRORISTS.

WORLD'S A MESS, MAN.

I WAS LOOKING TO PROTECT MYSELF.

YOU TRIED TO KILL A COP, ARMANDO.

NO MATTER HOW YOU SPIN IT,

THAT AIN'T GONNA PLAY WELL IN COURT, MY FRIEND.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

IT'S A WEIRD THING, ARMANDO,

BUT THERE'S SOME COPS OUT THERE

WHO JUST DO NOT LIKE COP KILLERS.

THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME.

THIS GUY WOULD SET HIMSELF ON FIRE BEFORE HE'D FLIP.

HOW LONG CAN WE KEEP HIM?

WELL, HE'S BEEN HERE, WHAT, 6 HOURS.

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE HAS BEEN SLAMMED ALL DAY.

IT'S GONNA BE A WHILE BEFORE SOMEBODY CAN GET HERE.

HIS PARENTS ARE IN MEXICO,

LAST KNOWN GUARDIAN'S IN JAIL.

YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?

I KNOW THIS KID.

LET ME TAKE A SWING.

THERE'S FOOD OUT THERE.

WHAT ABOUT ME?

HMM.

GUS EL PAYA MENDOZA.

SO ARE YOU STILL LIVING IN YOUR CAR?

[SPEAKING SPANISH

¿QUÉ PASA, MANITO?

DON'T CALL ME THAT.

YOU EVER HEARD OF RICO, MANITO?

NO, MAN.

YOU TRYING TO SQUEEZE HIM, TOO?

RICO. R-I-C-O.

RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATION.

IT'S HOW THE FBI BROUGHT DOWN THE MOB.

MAN, I THOUGHT I WAS IN HERE

FOR SOME SERIOUS ASS-KICKING.

INSTEAD I GET A LECTURE?

WELL, LISTEN CLOSE, MY FRIEND,

BECAUSE THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA TAKE DOWN THE M.L.V.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE, UM,

A FAVORITE SWEATER, RIGHT,

AND IT'S GOT A LITTLE STRING STICKING OUT,

AND IT'S DRIVING YOU NUTS TILL ONE DAY,

YOU FINALLY PULL IT,

AND THE SWEATER JUST FALLS APART.

YOU ARE THAT LITTLE STRING, MANITO,

AND WE'RE GONNA PULL YOU OUT,

AND THE M.L.V. IS GONNA COME DOWN ON YOUR HEAD.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE A SWEATER.

AND I'M A JUVIE.

Gus: YOU WERE. I CHECKED YOUR PAPERS.

YOU TURNED 16 2 WEEKS AGO.

UNDER RICO,

YOU'LL BE INDICTED FOR A FEDERAL OFFENSE.

HOW'S THAT SOUND?

THAT'S REAL GOOD.

YOU KEEP PRACTICING THAT STARE, MR. BIG SHOT.

UNDER RICO, THEY'LL TREAT YOU LIKE A BIG SHOT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE YOUR OWN CELL.

YOU'LL BE IN LOCKDOWN 24/7.

YOU DON'T SEE ANYONE.

YOU DON'T TALK TO ANYONE.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'RE REAL LUCKY,

AND THEN EVERY FEW MONTHS,

THEY GIVE YOU A HALF-HOUR OUTSIDE THE BOX.

IT'S YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BEG A GUARD TO SHOOT YOU,

PUT YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERY.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

I CAN LIVE WITH MY ENEMIES, ÉSE,

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE BEHIND BARS.

NOW, I CAN CUT YOU A DEAL TO PROTECT YOU,

BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME THE NAMES OF THE PERSON

WHO'S GIVING YOU THE CLEAN REGISTRATIONS.

THEY'RE NOT SHIPPING THOSE CARS OUT WITHOUT 'EM.

GIVE ME A NAME.

JACK, JACK! IT'S MILES! IT'S HIM!

DID VANESSA TELL YOU? SHE FOUND THE PAPER TRAIL,

AND SHE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS HIM.

SO I CALLED TO SET UP LUNCH.

I JUST COULDN'T WAIT. OH, I'M SO NERVOUS.

OK, SO I FOUND SOME OF HIS OLD BABY PICTURES,

AND, LOOK. THIS IS SOME OF THE ARTWORK HE DID

WHEN HE WAS JUST A LITTLE KID. OH, LOOK!

THIS IS HIS FIRST LITTLE BABY BOOTIE--

GWEN. GWEN. GWEN!

PLEASE.

THE FAMILY MILES HAS BEEN LIVING WITH,

THEY ADOPTED HIM 4 YEARS AGO.

SO I CAN'T GET HIM?

I MEAN, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO CONTACT ME?

Vanessa: YOU WERE A SQUATTER, GWEN.

YOU HAD NO LEGAL ADDRESS,

THERE'S 3 RESTRAINING ORDERS AGAINST YOU,

AND ALL YOUR PARENTAL RIGHTS WERE REVOKED.

SO THEY HAD THE MONEY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

HIS ADOPTED PARENTS HAVE AGREED TO LET YOU MEET WITH HIM.

HOW GENEROUS OF THEM.

I MEAN, THEY ALREADY TOLD HIM THAT I WAS DEAD.

THEY SHOULD'VE JUST LEFT IT THAT WAY.

Jack: GWEN, COME ON. WAIT A MINUTE. COME HERE.

WELL, COME HERE A SECOND. NOW, LET'S LOOK

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE HERE.

I MEAN, YOU FOUND HIM. YOU KNOW HE'S YOURS.

YOU CAN VISIT HIM.

I MEAN, YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR LIFE.

YOU'VE TURNED IT AROUND.

THAT'S SOME GOOD STUFF THERE, HUH?

NOW, COME ON.

LET ME SEE THE BOOTIE. SHOW ME THE BOOTIE.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

RAMON. Armando: NO.

SÍ. RAMON.

NO.

[LAUGHING]

SÍ.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

ARMANDO GUTIERREZ GAVE UP HIS DMV CONNECTION.

THE GUY'S NAME IS CURTIS LANGTREE.

BROUGHT THE GUY IN, HE CONFESSED TO PROVIDING

OVER 200 REGISTRATIONS TO THE M.L.V.

GREAT. GOOD.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.

GOOD JOB.

YOU COULDN'T WAIT UNTIL AFTER DINNER TO HIT ME UP?

YOU HAD TO RUIN A $30 STEAK.

WELL, THAT WAS RUINED THE MINUTE YOU OVERPAID FOR IT.

NOW, THERE'S YOUR RICO CASE.

JACK, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS GONNA TAKE

TO MOUNT A RICO CASE AGAINST THESE GUYS?

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COORDINATE

WITH THE FBI, THE I.N.S.

BRUCE, BRUCE--

BRUCE, THERE'S OVER 200 CAR THEFTS DOCUMENTED IN HERE

WITH THE SHIPPING MANIFESTS.

THERE'S YOUR RICO CASE.

AH. AH, MAN. OH, BOY.

IS THAT A GROAN OF A RELUCTANT MAN?

LISTEN, I BRING A RICO CASE AND IT FALLS FLAT,

I'M GONNA BE KNOWN AS THE U.S. ATTORNEY

WHO WASTES TAXPAYERS' MONEY.

WELL, THEN DON'T FALL FLAT.

THE MAN WITH A NEW IDEA

IS A CRANK UNTIL THE IDEA SUCCEEDS.

COFFEE CUP?

MARK TWAIN.

BOY, THAT IS GOOD.

YEAH, GREAT. HELP YOURSELF.

YOU DON'T MIND, DO YOU?

NO, NO. I HAVE NO PRIDE LEFT.

PLEASE, BE MY GUEST.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I DIDN'T GIVE THAT CABRÓN NOTHING.

SÍ. SI. TE BIEN.

SÍ, TE BIEN, ÉSE.

DAME, AQUÍ. ORALE.

HEY! HEY!

Maria on answering machine: NOT HERE, LEAVE A MESSAGE.

THANKS.

MARIA. HEY, IT'S ME.

LISTEN, UM...

ABOUT THE OTHER MORNING, I, UH--

JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SORRY. I WAS A COMPLETE JERK.

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU HAD A BROTHER.

ANYWAY, UH...

I LOVE YOU.

YOU HEAR THAT? I LOVE YOU,

AND I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

YOU OK? YEAH.

LADY PROBLEMS.

OH, PLEASE. FINALLY HE GETS A LITTLE SOMETHING,

AND NOW HE'S AN EXPERT.

AT LEAST I KNOW WHERE MY LITTLE SOMETHING'S BEEN.

SO YOU THINK.

HEY, COME ON, GIRLS. HE'S RIGHT, THOUGH.

I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES.

YOU'RE JUST COUNTING THE HOURS DOWN

TILL YOU CAN GET BACK TO HER.

80% OF HIS MIND IS ON THE JOB.

THE OTHER 20% IS ON HIS JOHNSON.

YO, 80% OF--

SON OF A BITCH!

Gus: IT'S 10-33.

OFFICER DOWN.

Gus: I'M A DEAD MAN.

JOE, MENDOZA?

HE'S FINE.

FAMILY?

THE WIFE AND KIDS ARE STAYING WITH HER FAMILY

IN BOSTON.

GOOD. JACK!

ARMANDO GUTIERREZ IS DEAD,

WAS KILLED BY HIS OWN CREW

BEFORE WE COULD MOVE HIM TO FEDERAL CUSTODY.

HOW'D THEY GET TO HIM?

THEY PINNED HIM TO THE BARS IN HIS CELL

AND KICKED IN HIS SKULL BEFORE THE GUARDS

COULD OPEN THE DOOR.

ALL RIGHT, M.L.V. IS OUR PRIORITY.

LET'S BRING 'EM IN.

JACK, WHAT CHARGES?

WHAT CHARGES? I DON'T KNOW.

LOITERING, JAYWALKING, CLONED CELL PHONES.

JUST BRING 'EM IN, JOE. I DON'T CARE.

JACK, M.L.V. IS NOT THE MOB.

THE MOB KNEW BETTER THAN TARGETING COPS.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, JOE? YOU WANNA GIVE 'EM

BACK THE STREETS, IS THAT IT?!

WE EASE OFF A LITTLE, TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

NO! LET'S BRING 'EM IN!

NO, COME HERE. COME HERE.

COME ON.

[CHUCKLES]

HE...DIDN'T WANT ME AROUND THE HOUSE.

YOUR PAST LIFE...

POQUITO.

Woman: ¿HOLA?

HELLO? ¿HOLA?

UH, ¿HOLA?

¿HOLA?

DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?

NO. SORRY.

OK, ONE-- UNO MOMENTO.

DOES ANYBODY HERE SPEAK SPANISH?

ANYONE HERE SPEAK SPANISH?

SÍ.

YEAH?

[KNOCK ON DOOR] Joe: YEAH?

SIR, THE BOY'S NAME WAS RAMON ACQUARO.

HE WAS 14.

I SPOKE TO HIS GRANDMOTHER, WHO TOLD ME

HE LEFT EL SALVADOR A MONTH AGO

ON HIS WAY TO D.C. TO FIND HIS MOTHER.

YOU GOT ANY OF THE FAMILY TRAVELING NORTH

TO PICK UP THE BODY?

THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO.

WHAT ABOUT THE MOTHER?

WE'RE CLOSING IN.

SHE LAST WORKED ON A CLEANING CREW AT THE WATERGATE.

ALL RIGHT, KEEP AFTER IT.

I'LL, UH, PULL SOME STRINGS,

HAVE THEM HOLD ON TO THE BODY AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

Gwen: I SUPPOSE I COULD TELL YOU THAT I DIDN'T SHOW

BECAUSE IT'S BETTER NOT TO COMPLICATE YOUR LIFE,

NOT START A RELATIONSHIP THAT CONFUSES YOU

OR MAKES IT HARD.

YOU'RE ONLY 14.

BUT THE TRUTH IS I DIDN'T SHOW,

BECAUSE I'M SELFISH.

I WON'T SURVIVE LOSING YOU TWICE.

I NEVER STOPPED SEARCHING OR FIGHTING OR HOPING.

I WISH YOU ALL THE GOOD THINGS.

I LOVE YOU,

AND FOREVER YOU WILL BE MY SON.

YOU USED TO SING A SONG TO ME

TO PUT ME TO BED AT NIGHT.

WHAT SONG?

♪ YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE ♪

♪ AND YOU ARE THE APPLE ♪

♪ OF MY EYE

Church choir: ♪ WHATEVER IT IS ♪

♪ TAKE IT TO THE LORD

♪ IN PRAYER

♪ EVERYTHING TO GOD ♪

♪ EVERYTHING TO GOD IN PRAYER ♪

YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS FAST-FOOD THING'S GONNA WORK OUT, CHIEF.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF DETECTIVES

THAT ARE GONNA BE OVERWEIGHT.

Jack: GET DOWN! EVERYBODY, GET DOWN!

EVERYBODY, DOWN!

I'M HIT.

JOE! JOE! JOE!

[JOE COUGHS] JOE.
