Tonight, on his Spencer Fahide.

That was a set up. I told you before, be it.

So did I ever discuss my win and race with you? OK, what are you doing? Hold it.

Immigration officer. You're Spencer, my hands are tight.

Ever been involved in a jailbreak? Not me.

This is a solid battery. No, I do have to book you. Take him out. This one's mine.

Oh, man.

I was in high school, I had a friend of a little right around the corner.

Where do you live?

not far.

Better go.

Josephina, why don't you bring your cousin to the YWCA class tomorrow night?

No, I can't. You don't have anything to be afraid of.

All the boys and girls are bilingual like you.

You could even bring your parents if you'd like.

Maybe they can talk over some problems they might have. Please. You don' understand.

I frightened her.

Well, they're afraid but there's nothing to do with you.

That's not exactly Smithfield.

If you're trying to tell me that some of these

kids could be here illegally, I know that.

But that's not my main concern.

I'm just trying to help them deal with the

kind of stress most immigrant family's face.

And thank you for driving me down here, but it really isn't necessary.

What do you mean? How else could you find out where I got my first

barber shop in Henrikkack? My first job kissed my first girl.

Did I ever tell you about Mary Jane Reilly? Whoa!

No, but I'm sure you'd rather tell me anything

than admit that you just didn't want me coming down here alone. Come on.

Speaking of him and her families, well, that McGillicutty used to live right there.

Branding McGillacutty from Cunning Corp. At 27, Kansas. That's hot.

Here's part of even Kelly, you've ever tasted in your life.

No! No! No!

Placio.

A lot of questions about legal presidency. It is a question of parental permission.

We need that to keep our insurance.

I told you the boy's mother begged me to take care of him.

And I told You, Miss Silverman, you are not the boy parent or the legal guardian.

Yes, but the boy could die. Jacob, that's not fair. We've done all we can for him.

We've stabilized his condition.

There's nothing more we can do without the authority. The mother called you? Yes.

Well, can you get her to come in? She won't do that.

She's afraid the rest of her family will be picked up.

That's why she abandoned him to Susan. So the boy is illegal.

He still needs help and it shouldn't matter who his parents are or where they are.

I mean, what are we talking about here?

If the hospital won't bend the rules, can't the doctor?

The doctor did, but it wasn't enough. If the boy just died.

Oh, dear God. I'm sorry. But just so you know, this is a good hospital.

We don't turn people away, but we do obey the rules.

You want to change those dealing with illegal aliens. Do it in the courthouse.

Don't start here. Yeah, she was just trying to help. She's not with us.

Maybe she should be.

Carrie.

Well, I guess we'd better go and talk to that mother.

What can I say? I'll think of something. Here. You're interested.

Always room for a nudge.

How's the boy?

You didn't make it.

Ah!

Who's gonna tell them other?

Emily Garden and Jacob Zalewski are a lawyer.

They're with the movement over in Cambridge. What movement? The safe house.

They help relocate alien refugees, mostly from Central America.

What happened out there? What was it all about? Police are still investigating.

All they know for sure is that Gary was on drugs

out of work and blamed everyone but himself for his problem. That's it?

That's the answer just another crazy? Spencer, that's not good enough.

I want a better reason for why that boy died.

If he had a record for drug arrest, why did he still have a license? He didn't.

Well, they shouldn't have been allowed on the streets. I agree. Well, you agree.

I agree, we all agree, but nobody does anything about this.

So whose the man is behind bars? They cleaned up the street.

The people were hurt of being helped.

Yeah, if their citizenship papers are in the water.

That didn't have anything to do with illegal aliens.

The guy lost his job six months ago, and he went crazy.

It's not what he told the arresting man.

Okay, so he said he thought he lost his job to a guy holding a green card.

Those jerks don't know the difference between who's legal and who isn't.

It just seems so unfair.

The family comes here seeking refuge from one kind

of senseless violence only to encounter another.

No.

And I'm working with kids who have bilingual parents and

talking to them about the stresses in their lives.

I can't even imagine the stress of a mother-wrestling-letter baby.

So the rest of her family can live. What happened was wrong.

I mean, nobody should have to make that choice.

The woman shouldn't have broken the law. Broken the law?

What she was doing was illegal. I mean they're hearing legally.

They get caught through the border. Those are the rules. But they're cruel.

Well, they're necessary. I agree with them. Look, when jobs are hard to come by,

it's human nature to want to protect your own.

Those people down there are just like you and me.

You got a job you want to keep it if you don't. Well, you need somebody to blame.

The aliens will always get hurt. So it's the halves against the halves, no?

Susan, I'm not saying it's right. It's just the way it is.

It's where it's always been.

I see what you mean, I just...

Thanks for letting me blow off some steam.

Still a tough neighborhood.

You got to make a choice.

How could I not?

Henry Somali? Yeah? Hold on, just a second, I'll get him.

Hey, Charlie, it's for you.

Hey, Henry, is that Hazel Cordova? Yeah. Did anybody

work out here

now or what?

Anybody that can pay for his lock, Spencer? By the way, you're too much behind.

You got me mixed up with somebody else. I know.

Yeah, yeah, shut up the pedal. Right before I went to prison.

So, Ainsville, Cardone, and Rady, Clip the guy, huh? Yeah, and a bar fight.

They spent the last five years on maximum security. Just got out.

It lost its touch. It'll get you. You want to go a few rounds? Do I look that dumb?

Don't answer that.

Spencer. Hello. I'm Emily Garden. Susan Sullivan told me I'd find you there.

Yes, I remember seeing you at the hospital. Well, what can I do for you?

I would very much like to hire you to find a missing person.

There's a little boy's mother. Oh, no, his father.

He's been missing for almost two weeks.

He went to work one day and certainly never came back. I have a photograph.

His name is Henry Rosales.

In his own country, he was a labor organizer.

But Harry's just been working on the dogs.

You like it?

I just have to admit it to you.

No.

Well, Susan told me that you seldom agreed in principle,

but that you almost always agreed in practice about people.

We here just want to reunite the family, find them a safer place.

We can pay you anything you require.

a lot require very little.

Susan's recommendation goes on.

You know Susan has expressed an interest in our work at Safehouse.

But she's already volunteered to take a night shift.

And now that we've met, I'm glad to see that you're not overly concerned about her.

If some people are so cautious. Well, my looks can't deceive.

What exactly are we talking about? Oh, you know.

Some of the delinquents in the neighborhood have taken exception to our work.

Broken windows, things like that. Nothing serious. Well, thank you.

It was nice to meet you. And I look forward to hearing from you.

I'll be in touch.

Yeah.

I know you're not scared of my... Are you scared?

It's just that I took on a case that's going to require me to remain conscious.

Actually, there might be some work in it for you,

unless you're thinking about climbing in there yourself.

I didn't want to make the man look bad. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah.

Once you got it, man. Keep it on the eye, too.

Did I ever discuss my win and race with you?

No, I've seen it every time it's no-one. I'll take the shower.

Right.

You know, about 10,000 refugees, immigrants and aliens

come to the Boston area each year. I thought you might have noticed before.

So I finally captured your attention. You did. I've been called the Nougan years.

Ever since my father died. Are you sure you want to do this?

I have to talk to the mother. My father's French Canadian, and I'm ready to let

Tino and adopted her children in the Rosales family staying with them.

I don't know if you put a bottle.

Thank you. Mr. Davaro, it's Jacobs' Alaska. Can I talk to you? Please, come in.

Come in. This is Susan Silverman. She's just joined the movement.

Oh, welcome to our home. Oh, this is my wife Rosa.

I'm sorry, but she speaks only a little English here, though.

But I'll go to Josephina and have her stuffs.

Of course, you have class together so you know. Yes, I know.

You know Marie, and that's

Luis. He's like his father, very quick with language,

and a hard worker. He has a job at the fish market.

And this is my wife's cousin, Mrs. Rosellas.

There's a cold out here. You can get frostbite out here or worse.

Hey, it's OK, I'm a friend of the family. Well, why don't you get us in trouble?

No, no, no. I'll come back later.

I'll see you, okay? You come back. You will.

I didn't want to leave, but I had to think

of the other children.

My husband and the only one to take care of.

It was so hard.

I didn't know what to do.

I want you to ever have to make that choice.

to do everything I can to make sure no one ever has to again.

It was a beautiful day for sailing, the kind sportsmen loved the world over.

But those of us among the working class had duties to perform, if we were lucky.

If we weren't, we stood around, like birds of prey, waiting for a job to overcome.

excuse the fighter.

I found out the man I was looking for had worked near the dogs for an ex-union's

Gatname guzzman.

If Henry Rosalos had been a citizen or a union man, he'd be protected by the

Longshoreman's contract. But this was a waste dump.

The workers were definitely non-union.

If they had green cards, the ink was still wet. Now remember, no union!

And over time, all right? You got it. You got. That's it. You got?

Yeah, yeah. That's what you're going to be. I was here first.

He can't even speak English. So what? You don't have to. Now work your hands.

That was his mouth. Hey, let me see your green card.

Where's your guys? Henry Rosallos had worked here about eight months

before he disappeared. What, Jack? Henry RosALLos, is he a good guy?

Those who admitted knowing him said he wouldn't have run off

without his family, and he definitely wasn't homesick.

That left foul play a definite possibility. Hey.

I told you before. Beated. He also told me that you don't hire legal aliens

and that you never heard of Henry Rosales. We both know that's a lie, right?

OK, so it worked for me. So what? I finally did legal it. I dumped them.

Anyways, use a bummer to thief.

already get.

ground serve.

No!

just don't bounce.

I am leaving.

Blessed is he who has found his work. Let him ask no other blessedness.

I didn't know if the words fit Louis Rosalos,

but when Susan told me about us after school dish washing job, I hoped they might.

So far I hadn't found many clues to the missing father.

And I thought part of the problem was that I didn' know enough about him.

My figured his son could fill me in.

Only I didn t figure I'd have to catch him first. Hey, wait.

there.

Operation Officer.

boys under arrest.

It took about 40 minutes to find Jacob Celesky,

the immigration lawyer, and another 20 to

locate the new INS detention facility on the north end.

By the looks of it, I knew this was one night Lewis wouldn't be home after school.

It really states that's an emotional response to a legal issue.

I told you, if the mother wants to come in and claim her son, she can have it.

Yeah, sure. Then you get two for the price of one, huh? Sounds like a bargain.

Look, no one is going to get deported. You bet they're not.

Until there has been a proper and legal hearing. What were you doing again?

Because it was this afternoon. What?

Well, I was looking for the father you were picking up the kid, huh?

I was doing my job, Mr. Spencer. You've got no right to hold that boy hostage.

Hostage? That's not a very accurate use of our language, Mr.? How about bait?

It's an old New England term. What a hell is going on?

I'm told there's a 16-year-old kid downstairs

who's been picked up by one of our men. Who authorized?

I authorized that I had reliable information that the kid was illegal.

He resisted arrest when he was being picked up.

He's being temporarily detained downstairs. It's all by the book.

What more could you ask, Joe? The names are sane.

I'm not sure, maybe the feeling that justice is being served.

But at least I'm served.

What do you guys want? The Rosalas boy. Mr. Zalesky here is from the movement.

Safehouse? It's right. I got the boys from Central America.

He wants to be declared a political refugee. I'm sure he does.

I've never been here before to claim asylum. I've had a job too.

And I've been here as a family. You legally.

Look, the law allows people who are fleeing persecution

to seek asylum, which is, let's get... I'm going to make your job easy.

I agree with you.

Only we had aliens from that part of the world

coming here for years and years to find work.

Now

since this controversy over how we ought to respond to people

from Salvador, Guatemala or Haiti, everybody's political.

Nobody's here for it. There's one big difference.

Boy downstairs is behind bars, alone, without representation.

As far as we know, he hasn't committed any major crime. Well, that's not right.

Is there something wrong with the system or the way it's being applied?

Was it a good point? Mr. Spanter.

Pettis. Mr. Pettas.

I'm only here on temporary assignment from LA,

so I guess I'll have to hurry my investigation one day.

Anything else? Yeah. We'll be back. I'm sure you will.

We don't know each other very well yet. But we will.

And I promise you.

If I find any dirt on to your fingernails...

You'll get more than your luck this round.

I knew Lewis would be here.

And while I looked for Henry Rosales,

I knew that Susan would be all right at the safe arms. Park would see to that.

Safehouse? Yes, that's right. We do offer legal referral.

Well, that is the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

It is a new office established by the governor.

Massachusetts is the first state to borrow its

agencies or employees from asking questions

about citizenship or residency status.

Unless the information is required by federal law.

Unless the Information is required about federal law? Thanks. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, this is a list of schools near your house. They're all good schools.

I'm sure your children will do very well.

So what do you think? Would you like to go dancing with me

or have you had enough romance for one night? I asked a charge to their occasion.

You have me answering the phone. How about tomorrow night? What?

Of course I do have a date with an exquisitely beautiful,

extremely wealthy young widow who is with him for a passionate relationship.

But I could break it if you were willing to come and have

a hamburger with me or go to the movies or whatever.

Um, thank you. That's very nice, but, um, I don't think so.

And how about the next night? You are persistent, aren't you?

Are you married?

Um, no, but you might say that I'm kind of an old fashioned girl in some ways.

Spencer? Yes.

Lucky guy.

Yeah, that's what I keep telling them.

Well, good night, Miss Emily.

Oh, wait a minute.

Jacob, would you mind walking out of the bus stop? Have I ever refused you?

You know, it suddenly occurred to me that you never have refused me.

I hope I haven't forgotten to thank you.

You could give me some good press with Susan.

Think about suffered a lot. Wait a second, you didn't say anything about suffered.

You'll imagine the answer from the start. All right, one burger, hold the tail.

It was Henry Rosales. It's probably not a

union member.

like to be.

maybe some of you guys might have seen him.

Yeah, right.

Okay, that's enough. Out. Out? I mean, out of the bar or out of this city?

Out of the Commonwealth, maybe.

But why don't you get out of here and take some of your green cards with you?

Ah, now we get down to the basics, huh?

There work for midst against your birth certificate, assuming you have one.

Okay, I'm leaving.

I see you later.

Ah!

Yeah!

Who the hell are you? You're looking for Henry Rosallez, right?

I know where he is.

There are times when you really look forward to visiting with friends.

I wasn't sure this was one of them when I found

out where Susan was and who she was with.

But I needed someone who knew the law and who would ask the right questions.

I figured Jacob Zaluski was the man.

Jacob.

about this. He's got some information for you. Mr. about this?

Are you here illegally? That's the first question you asked, the man.

I'm going to know how to deal with him. He's gotta know he can trust him.

No, sir, I'm not illegal. I have my immigrant papers, and I'm

going to become a citizen next month, telling my handrails all of this.

They took him. Oh, the INS?

But he's been deported. I saw Guzmán make the call. Mr. Wilson came. Like always.

Like always? That's why Wilson was a guzzman. They got a deal.

Wilson gets a cut of the wages. Well, he didn't mean it. Not so fast.

We're talking major felonies here. Back to the day you haven't he proved?

Did you hear them talk? But everybody knows Wilson is dirty, right? Yes.

He gets a piece of the action and what's in it for guzzmen?

Nobody complains about what? No wages, working conditions, safety. Not anything.

Or Wilson deports him. That's what happened to Rosalos, right? He complained.

Well, Henry and his brother, they were labor organizers back home.

They shot his brother and they would have killed Henry if he hadn't escaped.

After all that, why would he jeopardize his family by speaking out against Guzman?

He spoke out for all of us.

Because no one else would. Hector, if you'll testify to this in court...

No, no. I can't do that. Hector... I can protect you. I might do it with Perez.

He'd love to know who's dirty on his stuff. But that's why he's here.

What do you say? Please, I'm sorry.

I'll lose my job and they'll take away my citizenship.

No. That's not the way it works. Well, that's what you say.

All of my life I want to be an American.

What happens to me if they say I lie? Huh? And what about the other men?

Who's going to protect them? You do. You protect each other.

But you've got to learn to fight your own battles before others will follow.

Rosalos was right.

You stand up against Guzman, all of you together, and Guzmen will fall.

Hector, he can't beat all of You.

The majority rules.

That's what being an American is all about.

Thanks for coming.

That's it. That's

all.

Thank you.

from there here.

Ready? Yes sir.

Stick together in this, everything will be okay.

Hey!

Hey!

I told you! I didn't want to watch over him!

That is then so he's got something to say, huh?

I'm going to come to freechuck. Go ahead. Be my guest.

I'll stand with it.

Here's this.

The devil, charge us! What power is good, gentlemen? Charge us!

Because when it swears it's an accident. No accident was a setup. Come on, Spencer.

We checked and double checked that cable. It was for it just snapped.

It could have happened anytime. No, you guys don't believe that, do you?

No, I believe you. But if you're going to nail Guzzman for murder,

you need more than you got right now. We need a witness. Yeah.

A witness with evidence. So where is this guy Hector Valdez?

Well, where would you be, Frank?

If somebody tried to dump 10 tons of iron pipe on your head, he's hiding.

Everybody's hiding on this one. One of these people need our help.

I watched this mother cry for help. I watched Jacob die and now Hector.

The man came here with a dream.

And it's almost within his reach in a couple of weeks

will be a full-fledged citizen. He wants to believe what this country stands for.

But he's afraid to speak out.

not one of us yet.

Unless we show them how the system works, he never will be.

You see Spencer, my hands are tight.

But I have never forgotten that my great grandfather came here

as a storeway with the same dream.

Lieutenant, there must be something we can do to help. We can't, Frank.

Not this one.

field.

If you're going to bring down Guzzman.

You're gonna have to do it on your own.

Now this isn't the first time that there's been an underground

railroad in America to help those fleeing from injustice.

In the few years just before the Civil War thousands of free

Americans organized to help run away slaves escaped to freedom.

These conductors, including many from Boston, led slaves along the

escape route finding sanctuary at stations, homes, churches, bars.

on their way to freedom in the North and in Canada.

Those who helped the slaves were indicted by the federal government.

I thought you might have gone there. We were going to update that, too, next week.

Talk about the tens of thousands who've been killed in Central America

in the last six years.

His death was my fault.

What's not true? They wouldn't have been there to get hurt, but for me.

I recruited him fresh out of college. Treated him like he was my own son.

Sacrificed him for my causes? Emily, your causes were his causes.

He loved you for them.

But I didn't want him to die for them.

At the hospital when that child died, you asked Jacob,

what am I going to say to the mother?

And he said we'll think of something.

I wish I could think of something. We were young.

Hey, Spencer, it's for you. What they do? Take your office, phone away.

See the man don't know how to play. It's old work. Work, work, work. Thanks, Henry.

Spencer.

Yeah, I thought it might make sense to you.

Yeah, I can do that.

Tomorrow you've got it.

Give me three guesses. It was the father of the department.

The police or your account. That's right, you mad Wilson. What do you want?

I made him an offer. He accepted. He gives me his prisoner, Louis Roselland,

and I give up looking for the kid's father. And I lay off the guzzard.

How's it plan to do his part? Well, I'll say the kid has been on a hunger strike

and haven't transferred to a local hospital. We're out picking him up tomorrow.

What do ya think? Sounds like a set up.

Just like what happened to your lawyer, Frinn. Yeah. So what's the real deal?

Well, probably haven't deported before anybody can stop him.

You ever been inside an INS detention facility before? Who?

Ever been involved in a jailbreak? Not me.

How about an old-fashioned stage-code robbery? Get in! Yeah! Yeah!

All that bus.

I should've had a bad dinner.

Police officers, we're gonna hold up.

I'm coming during this vehicle now, drive.

Stop over here.

We have to turn the guys on.

There won't anybody get hurt.

Beats your head down.

The US-L-Elean government probably assaulting a

federal agent, illegally releasing an illegal

alien under INS jurisdiction. Spence that I thought you were bright.

I was wrong.

Wilson had you packed as a double maker and you should have hit the description.

Lieutenant, do you have the authority to arrest this man?

No, but I will call the Marshal's office if necessary. And why are you here?

As a friend of the court. If I broke any city or state law, Marty would nail me.

But he knows what I did and why. How dog and private eye that's all you are.

You wanted the Rosalie's boy and you took him well. We want him back.

You can have him back! After you guarantee me he'll get a fair hearing

and not some plane ticket to home and a hanging. Now wait a minute.

You had him picked up, held in custody,

and turned over for deportation without due process.

There was a mix up in a paperwork downstairs. I don't know how about it happened.

There was no criminal intent. Hey, not in my part either.

The bus was never out of government hands. The driver's never assaulted.

And the illegal agent that you held is still being detained. Where? In a safe place.

Spend it if I decide not to press charges. You'll bring the boy in.

On two conditions. Wilson's off the case, and the boy is held in custody

of his mother until after his hearing is over. Done. Wilson, you're grounded.

I'm suspending you until I can review the accusations made against you.

What are you talking about? You got no evidence?

I can't prove you had anything to do with this appearance of Henry's Rosalice.

But I do know he was reported with a proper authority.

And I have a few questions about a guy named Gooseman.

Who's feeding you this garbage that Polock lawyer from the safe house?

What was that about?

That pull out the lawyer.

His name is Jacob Zolowski.

But if I'm quite not loud, Spencer, this is a sort of battery.

Now I do have to book you. Not if you have a witness to testify.

There was provocation.

Come, come, come. You know me, Mr. Roger. All right, sir. Taylor, do it.

This is a sudden Louise, eh? She's facing space.

Did Driver thought he was going to be robbed? He was.

I wish he wouldn't make it so so illegal. It means only justify the end.

You wish the truth.

Hector. Excuse me, I need to talk to you. Mrs. Jacob's witness on the dark.

Oh, of course. Your Henry was all that surprising.

Look, I don't mean to spoil things here. Wait, please. We're friends of the family.

This is Emily Garden from the safe house. Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Miss Emily, right?

Yes, Henry spoke of you. He spoke very highly. He spoke highly of you too, Hector.

How about you becoming a citizen? That was a dream of his too, you know? Yes.

Look, I must go now.

Go where Hector?

You saw Jacob's Alaska give up his life for you. Where

can you go to forget that?

To forget what you owe him?

We were all so nice and was right. Gather! We have to bring it.

Well, we got rid of him.

This man is small and is nothing without our labor. Right. Right.

We must have been the right that this country has given us

and forced him to pay the fair wages that we deserve.

But we have to stand together side by side in order to accomplish this. Right.

Right. Right. Shut them up. Feed them to the fish. All right, man.

That's enough. Bring it up now. Get back to work.

No, no. They can't beat up on all of us. Get the stand up and fight back.

Like you said, Guazman. It's a pre-country. Not even speak.

Not today. Bring it on.

Well, you know, I'll take him out.

Nah.

That's what's mine.

Thank you.

Good job, Jack.

Where you going stop it with the killer?

That's enough.

I always wonder. What was that?

You're the broken your head.

Uh...

I saw a forest later, and he told me the Rosalos

family would be given a status as temporary

immigrants.

If we're helping in the arrest of a corrupt

federal agent, I knew Jacob Zalowski's sacrifice

wasn't in vain. Everything I saw was through rose colored glasses.

Of course, they matched my eyes.
