"Of the good in you, I can speak,

You are only good

But you survived.

You didn't ask for trouble.

Wha--? What do we got?

Yeah, I caught the case.
CICERO: No, you didn't.

Yeah.
You couldn't have.

Why is that?

Because Mallory would
never put you on my case.

I don't like this

I'm weeks away from retirement,

MAN [ON TV]:
It is being reported

a downtown Bakersfield building

killing an employee.
The suspect remains at large.

[EXERCISE MACHINE

Stop!
He is described as a male in his 30s,

approximately 6'3" tall

Police have not yet released
the name of the victim.

The gunman was described as
armed and extremely dangerous.

Let me call you right back.

Well, well.

You've been a bad boy.

It's a nice set of wheels
I got you out there.

You got my money?

Hm.

Now, how'd you smuggle
that much money out of prison?

You don't wanna know.

[GROANS]

I want the other names.

The price just went up.

It took me 10 years
to track down these people for you.

And it cost a lot of money.

And now I wants to re-negotiate.

Okay.

That's what I thought.
You're playing ball now.

The price just went down.

Kenny?

Kenny.

This here is

All right, here it comes.

Look at his face.

He knew
his number was up.

Wait a minute.

That's not just fear,
that's recognition.

He can't see where the gun is.

It's blocked by the partition.

He knew him.

My business is important.

You haven't told me

I'm a surgeon. I remove cancer.

Well, I'll have to take you

You know, I have other patients

They find it hard to handle

There's a lot of pressure

Morning, Detective Cicero.

Sergeant Mallory.

Don't be mad.

You should've told me.

I should've told you.

Let him help you

COP:
So, what do we got?

You play fast and loose
with that "we" shit, cowboy.

We got our shooter.

We?

I got a call from the warden
at Murdoch.

He recognized our guy in the news.

Apparently, he made a lot of money
running contraband in prison.

Any gang affiliations?
Nope, did his whole 10.

No protection. A walk-alone.
They kept coming after him.

He kept knocking them down.

I see he kept score.

All he had to do was flash that
and no one would screw with him.

He got popped for a bank job.
Ten years ago, Bakersfield First.

ROBBER 1:
Don't be a hero, you got me?
Stay down.

Shooter was a bank robber--
He was the driver.

So who collared him?

Good, this is where

I wanna show you something.

Oh, my.

This is such a big help.

It takes me a long time

You can put the things anywhere.
Okay.

Yes.

Thank you for your concern.

You're very kind to help an old man.
Sure.

I'm gonna go.
Can I offer you something to drink?

I should be going.
No, let me get you something.

Please,
it's the least I can do.

Be nice to have a little
company for a change.

KILLER: You see,
I changed careers because I--

Well, I had some issues
I needed to resolve.

You know, I needed to test myself.

Mentally and physically.
Really re-create myself.

WOMAN [OVER HEADSET]:
And now it's all become too easy.

Yes. Yes.

I'm bored, but I mean,
that's only part of it.

I mean, it's Lily.

She's a distraction.

Distractions can be a problem

WOMAN:
You were going to talk to her
about marriage and having a family.

Is that still something you want?

You know what? You're right.

I mean, she's the woman I wanna
spend the rest of my life with.

Are you gonna ask her
to marry you?

That's what I'll do.

I'll pop the question. Heh, heh.

Are you off your meds?
Yes.

As your therapist,
I have to advise against that.

MAN 2: Where's the money?
MAN 3: Tell them.

CICERO:
I knew I remembered

Where did you get this?

First week I made detective,
Vice busted this porn operation.

I walked into the bullpen,
they were watching this.

I pretended I got a phone call,
had to walk out.

Didn't have the stomach for it.

Tough guys.
BROTHER: Don't tell them.

I flipped it to Homicide,

Then take him to his baseball game.
Okay. All right.

Don't play much.

Well, you got an arm

Maybe pinch-hit or something.

Found out

Excuse me.

So we got a telemarketer,
a sex offender.
What's next, a lawyer?

Whole shebang
just got a lot weirder.

Witnesses placed a
second shooter at the scene.

After our suspect
whacked Mr. Rogers,

he had a little shootout
in the hall.

Maybe an armed neighbor.
Uh-uh.

No one recognized
this dude.

They exchanged gunfire
then disappeared.
Both of them.

any description?

The word "beautiful" came up.

Beautiful?

Doctor.

[GUNSHOTS AND MAN YELLING]

MAN:
What the hell is that?

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

COP:
Back in the room, back in the room.
Police officer, get back.

Police.
NURSE: He went that way.

COP: I'm a cop. Where'd he go?
He went downstairs, officer.

BO Y [OVER PHONE]:
How do you have my dad's phone?

He asked me to call you.

Are you the one who killed him?

Yes.

I'm gonna find you
and I'm gonna kill you.

Do what you need to do.

But you better be sure,

because it's a long, dark road
you're headed down.

[PHONE RINGING]

I lost him.

MAN [OVER HEADSET]:
Client wants to pull the job.

No. No way.
You tell him to back off.

I've got this under control. All right?
You're running out of time.

Where's the old man?

Dead.

Don't lie to me.
I'll show you the damn grave.

How long ago?
I don't know.

Three or four years.

WOMAN:
Hold still.

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

MOTHER:
How long you been out?

Couple of days.

And why are you here?

Came here to kill the old man.

Why?

Because he set us up.

What makes you think that?

Gary went to him for advice
on the bank job
and he wanted full share.

Gary wouldn't give it to him.

So do you think
the old man was capable
of murdering his own son?

Yeah.
No.

Mm-mm.

Nope.

He couldn't have.

What makes you so sure?

I just... I just know.

Tell me.

Say it.

Mom.

Because...

he loved your brother too much.

I'm sorry.

And that's the truth
and that's not your fault.

It wasn't like
I could pretend you were his.

He was reminded of that
every time he looked at you.

You never stood a chance.

Sorry that I couldn't...

That I didn't protect you.

The beatings and...

[SOBBING]

Gary was the only one
who ever cared for me.

Why'd he pull you in on that job?

You were never a part
of what they did.

When his driver fell out,
I volunteered.

Why?

He owed the wrong people
a lot of money.

And he needed me.

If it wasn't the old man,
then who set us up?

[♪♪♪]

[MAN SPEAKING INSISTINCTLY
ON RADIO]

EVANGELIST [ON RADIO]:
Driven by his passions and desires.

You will never truly be free
unless you freely forgive.

Hate is like a chain
around your neck

that leads you to places
you don't wanna go.

It'll lead you into darkness
and desolation.

You become a slave
to that hatred,

and it'll only lead
to your own destruction.

You must break free.

WOMAN: Hey, cowboy.
You okay, man?

COP: Yeah.
MAN 1: You laid eyes on him at least.

Hey, well done.
Thanks, man.

I gotta call you back.

MAN 2: Still in one piece.
MAN 3: Good job.

Good lead, cowboy.
You almost got him.

We got close.
Yeah.

It was a good hunch.

Well, even Quasimodo
has his day.

And don't ever hang up on me again.
Roger that.

I hate to spoil your moment.
Got something I wanna show you.

I think we may have caught a break.
You said "we" again.

I did.

CICERO:
Our latest victim was a Cl too.

COP:
So all three are informants.

CICERO:
Mm-hm. All got records,
armed robbery, rape, assault.

But none did any serious time.

They all snitched their way
out of the joint over and over.

What are the odds of that?
Slim and none.

I'm waiting on
the informant logs now.

COP: Who are these?
Former accomplices of the victims.

Let's split them up, check them out.
I'll take these.

EVANGELIST [ON RADIO]:
And I know there's not a man,
woman or child in this church today

that has not sinned.

But God did not bring you down
on this Earth to be perfect. No.

God wants you down here
to be saved.

[CROWD CHEERS ON RADIO]

And when you're down with God,
God is eternally down with you.

[♪♪♪]

EVANGELIST [ON RADIO]:
When Jesus knew his time was near,
when he knew he was gonna die,

when he knew they would not take
that cup from his lips,

his thoughts were not
upon his own.

His thoughts were for those
that he loved.

WOMAN: Amen.
EVANGELIST: That's right.

His thoughts were for those
that he loved, preparing them.

EVANGELIST:
Why is that?
He used the example of his birth.

That's right. Here it is.
Jesus told them how a woman

goes through pain and sorrow
in the throes of childbirth.

But then as soon
as she has delivered,
there is no more anguish.

[CHEERING]

After all the screaming,
after all the pushing,

after all the blood and the tears,

there's only joy that a new child
has been born.

WOMAN 1:
Hallelujah!

And I'll tell you my--
WOMAN 2: Amen! Amen!

[CROWD CHEERING]

WOMAN 3:
Amen.

WOMAN 4:
Amen. Amen. Amen.

WOMAN 5: Hallelujah!
Amen!

MAN: Amen!
Sing me a song!

[SINGING "TROUBLE IN MY WAY"]

[SINGING INSISTINCTLY]

EVANGELIST:
I was wondering
when you were gonna show up.

You've been the subject
of many of my sermons
these past few days.

I heard.

You heard.
But did you listen?

Everything okay,
baby?

Everything's just fine,
honey.

I was just catching up with

an old acquaintance.

You go on home now.

Let's take a walk.

[♪♪♪]

Was that your son?
Adopted.

One of five.

Wayward boys.

Not unlike me or you
at that age.

You turned your life around.

Doesn't change
what you did.

I wouldn't want it to.

I know it sounds cold,

but every good I've done
hinged on the evil I did.

Who set us up?
I don't know.

I never did find out
how they knew about
your safe house.

When I got the call,
"Easy money," they said.

All I had to do
was guard the door,
be the lookout.

I was in a dark place
in my life.

Numb to the chaos and--
Right here.

But when they cut
that boy's throat...

Oh, Jesus, man. No.

That boy they killed was my brother.

I can't bring him back.

And in my heart I'm sorry.

I still took my cut,
spent it on drugs and women.

Ended up in prison.

But it was there
that I found my calling.

To save and help boys like me.

And like you.

It was there
that I gave my life to God.

God can't save you from me.

But maybe he could save you
from yourself.

I know there's good--
You don't know me.

I know the devil
got your heart twisted

with vengeance and hate.

The Lord is merciful.
He sees in your soul.

Fragile, ain't it?

That moment, that sets us
on our road to Damascus.

Sermon's over.

Can you at least find it in your heart
to forgive me for what I did?

I can't.

That's all right.

That's all right.

Because I forgive you
for what you're about to do.

[SINGING
"JOHN THE REVELATOR"]

Lord, see into this man's heart.
He's good inside.

Oh, Lord, save this man's soul.

I know you see his heart.

[EVANGELIST
CONTINUES SINGING]

Release him from the bondage
of hatred and vengeance, Lord.

[CONTINUES SINGING]

[EVANGELIST GRUNTS]

Go back to your family.

[♪♪♪]

That's one hell of a peashooter
you got there.

How's the recoil?

[♪♪♪]

[RINGING]

Yeah.
CICERO: Where are you?

Inyo County at the reservoir.
They're here. Both of them.

What? Did you call for backup?

There's no time for that.
Okay, don't do this.

I'm sorry
I keep stepping on your case.

CICERO: I don't care about that.
Want you to do me a favor.

If I don't make it out of this,

tell my son that
his daddy went out like a man.

I am on my way.
Please, just wait for me.

I'm just going with the flow.

Damn.

[FAX MACHINE BEEPS]

Aren't you gonna
reach for it?

Come on.

Sporting chance.

I've got nothing against you.

I've been trying to kill you for days
and you've got nothing against me?

I'm starting to think you don't
take me very seriously, friend.

DRIVER:
What do you want from me?

How about a little respect? Hey?

A little professional courtesy
from a peer.

Some acknowledgment
of my skills.

You've got issues.

Screw you.

I win.

[KILLER CHUCKLES]

You think you're done?

You can't put it together, can you?

There must be one more.

The one who hired me.

He's still alive.

I'm gonna kill you all.

Drop the gun.

Don't move.

Slowly.

Put the gun down.

No.
Put the goddamn gun down.

No! This is my job!

I finish my job.

How you gonna finish this
when you're dead?

So you're the guy that hired me.

You shouldn't
have done that.

I had to finish what I started.

Why'd you hire me then?

I didn't think I was up to it.

After you missed him,
I figured I should get involved

before he came gunning for me.

He didn't even know about you.

I figured that out when
he didn't finish me off
at the hospital.

His brother's girlfriend
was my informant down in L.A.

She told me about the job.

Hired some more of my informants
down there.

They helped me take down
their score.

So, what now?

Now?

I ride off into the sunset.

Hey.

I forgot to pay you.

You know,
I don't get you.

Why do you put yourself
through all this shit
for one lousy dollar?

It's my price.
Call it a hobby.

You know what, keep it.

I didn't earn it.

Don't contact me again,
I'm done.

Yeah, me too.

[LINE RINGING]

MALLORY [OVER HEADSET]:
Detective Cicero?

CICERO:
Yeah, I can't reach him.

Okay, hopefully he'll turn up.

We've got units en route,
we'll see you shortly.

CICERO:
Wait a minute.

You didn't flip him this case,
did you?

I didn't flip him the case.

Is that what you thought?

He asked for it, right?

He begged for it.

And I felt sorry for him, so I caved.

Is there a reason why
we're talking about this
right now?

No. No reason.
Okay, I'll see you shortly.

"Go with the flow," my ass.

Marina? Hey, it's me, honey.
Well, I got him, I closed the case.

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

As a matter of fact, I feel perfect.

Better than I ever have.
MARINA: Yeah?

Yeah, and I'm gonna
get rid of the other stuff too.

Don't you worry, I promise.

I'll be home in a couple hours.

Listen, you're not gonna
believe this.

I've been reading up on women,
and I think I got you figured out.

We're gonna be fine.

Yeah, honey, it's over.

I wanna start brand-new, honey.

[GUNSHOT]

[COUGHING]

[COP GRUNTING]

How?

Metal plate.

I can't feel anything.

I created my own hell.

And I'm the demon
who crawled up out of it.
