All language subtitles for The SHIELD - S04 E11 - A Thousand Deaths (720p - BluRay)

NARRATOR: Previously on the
The Shield: Wanna have dinner?

You work with Vic.
We barely see each other.

Carl, Scooby, you guys on foot?
Oh, Jesus.

What happened to
those police officers?

Killed somewhere, dumped here.

We seized this house last month.

Somebody's certainly
making his point.

Antwon killed Angie in
front of me and Army.

He did it with our guns.
Will you help me?

You want Pitarrio?
Where's your stash?

Where's your stash?

We find the dead girl's
body, you get this back.

ANTWON: Vendrell
and the burrito boy?

They were dirty way before
I got anything on them.

IFS bullshit.

Just trying to take down
as many of us as he can.

Let him have his way?
They pass the lie detector,

they'll be fine.

Captain's not buying your tall
tales, Antwon.

She bought the one about me
knowing nothing about dead cops.

You'll never find out
who offed them pigs.

MAN: Now,
I need you to tell the truth.

Absolutely.

MAN: ls your name
Shane Vendrell?

Yes.

MAN: Are you currently the
mayor of New York City?

SHANE: Heh. No.

Have you ever lied to keep
yourself out of trouble?

SHANE: Yes.

MAN: Have you ever
won the gold medal

in women's gymnastics?

[SHANE CHUCKLES]

No.

MAN: Are you married?

SHANE: Yeah.

MAN: Do you have children?

SHANE: Yes.

MAN: Have you ever been
unfaithful to your wife?

SHANE: No.

Eating ain't cheating.

I've been fielding
calls all clay

by people very angry we
put away Antwon Mitchell.

He confessed to
murdering a teenage girl.

Mitchell's always claimed
we're targeting him.

Now he's screaming
that Vendrell's dirty.

People think we're
trying to cover our ass.

That's bullshit. I know.

I just need you to
explain it to them.

I'd be a little nervous.

VIC: Yeah.

So how are we supposed
to beat this thing?

Well, it's easier if
you're a pathological liar

or a narcissist.

All right, so Shane's safe.
What do we do about Army?

I heard putting a tack in your
shoe messes up the results.

VIC: Yeah, along with your foot.

Tack in your shoe.

Bar of soap under the armpit.
No proof they work.

Plus, if they catch you,
they know you're lying.

Come on, Smitty, what do we do?

All right,
you be the interrogator.

Ask me about some
crime you think I did.

You like little Asian boys?

Let's say I did.

I do what they call
a substitution.

I'd replace your
question in my mind

with another question

to which the truthful
answer is no.

I might ask myself,
do I have $10 million in the bank?

I answer no.

The polygraph records
the response as truthful.

That really works?

You do it right, yeah.

Ugh.

VIC: Got no choice.

Captain's got a
spotlight on all of us

until you two pass
that lie-detector test.

We got a few days to practice.

We can do it.

The officer Mitchell
propositioned was undercover.

We heard he was corrupt.

That's Mitchell's allegation.
We're investigating.

WOMAN: I was at
your first meeting.

RAWLING: I remember.
That councilman said seizures

breed police corruption.

I have the officers involved
taking a polygraph test.

I will be happy to make
those results public.

MAN: We also hear you're
trying to blame Antwon

for those dead police.

RAWLING: We're
investigating all leads.

Investigate yourself.

Taking people's houses
is what got them killed.

Now you hide it.

How much longer you gonna
let these seizures go on?

RAWLING: We don't know what
got those officers killed.

But attacking the seizure policy
isn't gonna help us find it.

We're re-evaluating
the seizures entirely.

This department is not
interested in any policy

that inflames the community
or leads to cops' deaths.

[MURMURING]

Here.
The files you were looking for.

Nailing Antwon's really
shaken things up.

What's the fallout
on the street?

Naturally,
decapitating the One-Niners

has created a power vacuum.

Now a few of his sloppy
seconds wanna try on the crown.

So how do we take advantage?

Hit them up for info on our dead
cops before the dust settles.

Or at least until Antwon
sets up shop in prison,

circles the wagons again.

You think Antwon's lying,
One-Niners are responsible?

Don't you?

Hit 'em hard.

Fine.

But I need Shane and Army.

Not until they
clear the polygraph.

That's not until next week.
I need guys now.

Just let them work on who killed
Carl and Scooby. Nothing else.

They only work
the cops' murders.

Anything goes sideways with
them, it is on you.

Got it.

[H IP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

SHANE: Looks like
Antwon Mitchell

isn't the only One-Niner
on his lawyer's buddy list.

I knew that shylock was dirty.

Officer of the court running
errands for Antwon Mitchell?

Gives us a good card
to play with Halpern.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?

Lighting up. No, you're not.

I finally got something nice

where the A.C.
actually works. Toss it.

I'll blow the smoke
out the window.

Or you can blow me.

I want this to smell like
rich Corinthian leather,

not an ashtray. Come on.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

ACEVEDA: I heard what
happened this morning.

Phillips threw
you to the wolves.

He hauled me in front of
Antwon's true believers

and promised them that he'd
re-evaluate the seizure policy.

It's a real shame you weren't
there to witness your handiwork.

He's linking it to Carl
and Scooby getting killed.

LS it?

[SIGHS]

We don't know.

If you can prove the killings

had nothing to do
with the seizures...

However it breaks, it breaks.

I'm not suggesting
slanting evidence.

I'm offering you
an olive branch.

High enough to hang myself from?

I don't like people
capitalizing on cop killings.

I'm willing to talk to
the chief on your behalf,

on behalf of the seizures.

If?

If you agree to a
few modifications.

Such as no auctioning properties

until the suspects are
actually convicted.

That leaves money in
escrow accounts for years

instead of in the
community where we need it.

It's an olive branch.

Thanks for your offer.

I think I can take
care of Phillips.

And, listen, anybody gives you
shit, you come find me.

Get on the horn and you call me.

Go get your nails done, girls.

We need some quality time
with big poppa. Screw.

What? You already got
Antwon sitting down.

That deal we were discussing
prior to your accident,

it's back.
What is it with you guys?

I look like I got a pork
chop around my neck?

Antwon's lawyer went
straight from the men's jail

to a meet-and-greet with a cat named
Weed, you know him?

Yeah.

Thought you're next in line.

White smoke coming out
of Antwon's cell, man.

Means he's anointing Weed
as his new pope of dope.

We're trying to figure
out whose side we're on.

[CHUCKLES]

You fools still playing
that dirty-cop shit?

Shithead, we don't wanna
get in business with you.

We're looking for the
guys who killed our cops.

I already gave you
the El Salvadorans.

No one specific.

And all we got to was that
street-level asshole, Pitarrio-.

You're out of ICU.
You're reconnected to the street.

You must've heard something new.

VIC: This guy's not a player.
Let's go talk to Weed.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

When Antwon got
with the Salvadorans

he only talked to one guy.

Cat named Gusano.

Where do I find
this maggot Gusano?

He deals to Pitarrio.

Now, how you gonna
handle Weed for me, huh?

You're looking at a bunch
of bona fide weedwackers.

[GRUNTS]

SHANE: Hey, Weed.

You wanna hang up the phone
there, superstar?

Grab some skull, dickhead.

You know, it's funny, man.
I see your mouth moving,

but I don't hear
you saying nothing.

Yeah? Can you hear me now?

Any of you guys smell the
sickly-sweet odor of ganja?

Yeah, all right.
Come on, man, it's the 21 st century.

That old-school trickery,

it ain't gonna fly
in these last days.

You'll be locked up a week

before the judge
drops the charges.

Antwon's gone, man.

One-Niners are deciding
who's got next.

Can you really
afford to be benched?

Especially with Halpern
on the campaign trail.

Look, check this out.

Quit beating me in
my head conversation.

What is it y'all want?

Give us something that
gets us our cop killers

I guarantee you Halpern
goes down in the polls.

All right. Word on the street,
some kids running their mouth

talking about some
dead cop's gun.

Where'd you hear that shit?

Nigga named Jamani.
He stay down on Grape Street.

He run guns, you know,
to the street struggle.

So Halpern really
wants to squabble, huh?

You got my back, right?

Hey, this tip pans out

the street will be kissing
your ring before you know it.

[TIT]

I'm going to Giovanni's.
You want lunch?

Chicken parm. You need cash?

No, get me later.
What about him?

CLAUDETTE: Dutch
hates Giovanni's.

I'll pick up some
wine on the way.

I can do it.
You've got such a long day.

I don't mind. Chardonnay, right?

My favorite.

DUTCH: I know what you like.

Uh, I gotta go.
I'll see you tonight.

See you then.

Bye.

Captain.

Where are you on
Scooby and Carl?

CLAUDETTE: We've talked to
all the neighbors twice.

We've papered the
town with fliers.

Crime-scene reports haven't
turned up anything new.

I want you back in
regular rotation.

You're taking us
off the cop killers?

You can provide support.
But I can't let this trail get colder.

This case will break.
May take six months,

six hours, you know that.

Six months is good
enough for you?

Every spare moment you have,
work on Scooby and Carl.

But I've got Vic
looking into it,

so bring him up to speed.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC
PLAYING ON STEREO]

[SHOUTING IN SPANISH]

Oh, Shit.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I was on my way home from work.
Oh.

And I really need to
tell you something.

Everything all right? Yeah.

Actually,
I've been seeing someone.

Well, I've seen a few
people since the separation.

We're allowed.

You kind of work
with this person.

Who?

Dutch.

You're kidding me.

No.

How the hell did that happen?
It just did-.

You just said dating was allowed.
It is.

Just know this guy's
a first-rate asshole.

No, he's not.
We're always riding this prick.

He's got a bug up
his ass about me.

He just wants to get
back at me through you.

That's ridiculous.

I'm just telling you the truth.
Do what you want with it.

I'm not gonna do anything with it.
Fine.

You didn't tell him about the
money I gave you, did you?

No, of course not.
I didn't tell anyone.

Good. Don't.

I gotta g0-

Wait, you're not gonna do
anything, are you?

What would I do?

Please,
don't get in the middle of this.

Forget I said anything.

Fine. Kiss the kids, will you?

Okay, bye.

Got an address on Weed's tip.
Guy bragging about the cop gun.

All right, go pick him up.

We'll try to find Gusano,
we'll trace it back to Antwon.

Right.

RONNIE: Not your
most ingenious prank.

Yeah, but it felt good.

Police.

Pitarrio, get out here!

Pitarrio.

WOMAN: I have a gun, I'll shoot.

We're the police.

WOMAN: Bullshit.
I know who you are.

We're coming in. We'll shoot.

Me too. Stop.

VIC: Where's Pitarrio?
WOMAN: Gone.

Where to?

He lost something
he was holding.

He knew the Salvadorans
would come to kill him.

VIC: What did he lose?

Heroin, a kilo.

Shit.

Where'd he lose this kilo?

Look,
we're not here to bust you.

I'm Pitarrio's cut-up girl.
The Salvadorans can't find him,

they'll come after me next.

I thought you were them.

Then why'd you come back here?

Thought maybe I could
grab some product,

or some tools to sell.

Pitarrio left without paying me.

I got nothing for us.

Who's got you and
Pitarrio so scared?

[SOBBING]

Dealer named Gusano.

You know where we
could find him?

Vic. Vic, come here.

She was here when I
roughed Pitarrio up

and took that heroin
as collateral-.

So if she's running,
it's because of me.

She see you take it?
I don't know.

Come on,
let's just get out of here.

And leave her hanging? No way.

SHANE: What do we do with them?

Pack a bag.
Pack a bag, let's go.

W-what exactly did you tell him?

I told him that we
were seeing each other.

Yeah, how'd he take it?

He said that you two

weren't exactly the
strangers you said you were.

Well, we've bumped heads
over a case or two.

But you know Vic.

We need to talk about this.

Listen,
I hate to do this to you.

But I'm looking at a dead body right now.
I've gotta go.

Okay, I'll still see you at 8?

Sure. If this...
If this case wraps up, sure.

Okay.

CLAUDETTE: Louis Saldera, 21.

Took four shots at close range.

Do we know the car yet?

Saldera's registered
owner of a 2003 Honda.

Still Wet.

Maybe there's a witness.
Somebody was here recently.

You're not gonna wash your car
with a dead body next door.

Yeah, don't be so sure.

I'll post a squad car out front.

But trust me,
no one's gonna find you.

Gusano thinks I know
where Pitarrio is,

or that I have the heroin.

Last woman he
thought crossed him?

His man held her down,

stuck a rat in her pussy
till she bled to death.

That's a street fairy tale

cholos have been
spinning for years.

Well,

something happens to me,

make sure somebody
takes care of my boy.

Nothing's happening.
You let me take care of Gusano.

After that, things can change.

I'm out of a job.

Can't exactly
collect unemployment.

And H-cutter don't
look good on no résumé.

You could clean up your act.

Start fresh.

I don't see where you
have much of a choice.

I'm helping you this time.

Next time,
I'll be arresting you.

Besides, how old is this kid?
What, 2, 3?

Four.

Four.

He seems small.

We take care of ourselves.

RONNIE: But the good news is,

this gun guy,
Jamani, works alone.

Come on, dude,
put that shit out.

This is my car.

This guy deals in filed-down
guns and sawed-off shotguns.

Gotta be careful.

We'll try not to get
your hair messed up.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

I can't go through
with this lie detector.

SHANE: That's just jitters.

We'll get you back to
Smitty's, get you strapped in.

Hey,
we got three days to practice.

I mean,
we're gonna beat this thing

based off the tips of
a goddamn locksmith?

Smitty was Army
intelligence for 12 years

before he got into keys.

I was in the service.

A.l. means he was carrying extra
batteries for the field radio.

Look, man,

Vic put his ass on the line for us.
So did these guys.

We just need to be calm

and concentrate.
Answer these questions that we ask.

We're gonna get through this.

Bro, I... Don't "bro" me.

Now, this is a team.

And it all comes down
to us delivering-.

We're not gonna let
these guys down.

Let's go find this asshole
and see what he knows.

RAWLING: We hear you fix guns
for Grape Street, Jamani.

Anyone approach you with
a slain officer's gun?

Looks like you got
some bad information.

We found three silencers

and a stash of unregistered
handguns in your crib.

Unless you wanna hone your
legal skills in Soledad,

you better tell us about
the gun you heard about.

African cat stepped
to me with it.

Told me how he needed
the numbers filed off.

What kind of piece?

It was a Beretta 92F.

I told Kunta Kinte he could take
that business somewhere else.

He came in acting all arrogant,
high and mighty and shit.

This dude called me a
nigger, like G-E-R.

RAWLING: What's his name?

I don't know.

We'll need you to look
at some mug books.

No. Later for that.

I didn't even get
a good look at him.

Hey, man, this guy's great,
great, great grandpappy

sold one of your
ancestors to the man.

You really wanna
let him get away

with acting like
he's better than you?

GIRL: I heard something loud.

Came over to the window
to see what it was.

What'd you see?

No one's gonna know your name.

I only saw one car.

And it was dark blue and old.

This was about a
minute after the shots.

1990'S? '80'S?

I'm really not good with cars.

Older, I think. Like a classic.

We're back from the car wash.
Victim was a Latino.

Killed during a carjacking.

Girl heard the shots.

She didn't see the
killer, but saw a witness.

Shooter had Los Mag gang
tats, drove the stolen car.

Two other Latino males
followed him in a black BMW.

Sounds like your
witness called in.

Wouldn't give a name,
but he caught a lot of detail.

911 get his number?

No, called the switchboard.

He knew how to keep his
name and voice out of it.

Hey, man, what you got?
Unis papered the neighborhood

for the Nigerian
named Ade Achebe.

Lives here.
He was trying to clean a cop's gun.

From the make,
it looks like Carl's.

Any connection to the Niners?
Haven't seen one.

But he's on a Homeland
Security watch list.

So is every African that's
entered the country since 9/11.

What's the big deal?
You can fit them all in a phone booth.

[WHISPERS] Ronnie,
Army, take the back.

Hey, man, we got a warrant?

Just my winning smile.

Anybody else hear
those cries for help?

[QUIETLY] Police.

Clear. VIC: Here we go. Here.

[DOG BARKING]

[ECHOING] Six-Paul-Eleven.

Whoa.

That's another radio.
Hit it again.

[STATIC ECHOES]

Keep hitting it.
Six-Paul-Eleven.

[ECHOING] Six-Paul-Eleven.

Test, one, two. Test, one, two.

SHANE: Hey.

Scooby's.

Test, one, two.

Shit.

So somebody executed
our best lead?

VIC: We found Scooby's radio.

Any guns? Nope.

Well, he could have bought
that radio in a pawnshop.

VIC: Or took it from
him after he killed him.

This guy couldn't subdue
Carl and Scooby on his own.

The whole neighborhood knew we
were looking for a Nigerian.

Maybe his accomplices heard
too and tried to tie things up.

Feels like it's moving
away from Antwon.

Might not even be
seizure-related.

I wouldn't rule
him out just yet.

We haven't found his
Salvadoran hookup, Gusano.

This reads mob to me.

The neighbors are
screaming blue justice.

Payback for one of our own.

Let them stick their
fingers up his ass.

He's been cold for hours.

We just got here.

We just need to get a fix on
what direction this is going.

El Salvadorans, Nigerians.
Just get me answers.

We should talk to Vic.
Maybe he could find out

if our dead guy was
beefing with another gang.

We can do anything he can do.

Including dating his wife?

Ex-wife. And we're friends.

You wanna keep
secrets, go ahead.

But when it starts interfering
with our investigations,

give it up.

It's just weird
timing right now.

Maybe you should be
the one to talk to him.

Where are you going?

Blue classic car.
Well-maintained.

That's a classic?

It is to Billings.

You're not serious.

Witness knew enough to call
the switchboard instead of 911.

You're just mad at him
because he took our cases.

Witness with a spot-on
knowledge of gang tattoos?

I'm still not there yet.

That's dried soap.

I thought he was supposed
to be getting you lunch.

So, what's up?

DUTCH: We're stuck on
this carjacking murder.

Thought you might be
able to help us out.

Sure.

Anything you wanna
tell us about it?

What do you mean?

The anonymous caller

who witnessed the shooting
provided a lot of detail.

Very thorough.

Called the switchboard.
Recognized gang tats.

Your car is streaked
with dried soap

like you rushed out of there
without having time to rinse.

Dried soap? We had Nicole's
blood in O.J.'s bedroom

and look at what good that did us.
Give me a break.

We got the bills back
from the car wash.

Your fingerprints
were on some of them.

You guys must've broken
the world record.

I can't get anything back
from those rats in a day.

So it'll take a day.
But when it does come back,

we gonna find yours?

All right, I was there.

I'm here because I didn't feel
like committing suicide today.

Come on, I was 15 feet away

from two armed bangers who
already had their guns out.

That's not being a coward.

That's living to
fight another day.

Why didn't you report it?

I called in and told them what I saw.
Every detail.

If I didn't care,
would I have done that?

You should've called us instead.
Why, so the people here

could think I didn't do
something to stop it?

Did you?

I was outnumbered and outgunned.

Come on.

You know you can't show
weakness in this house.

You saw how they
treated Reynolds

when they caught him
bawling his eyes out.

Or Lowe, when his boyfriend
threw a hissy fit.

They still make fag
jokes behind his back.

It wouldn't be like that-.

After what happened
to Carl and Scooby

everybody's looking
over their shoulder.

They give us this
badge and a gun.

And they expect us
to act like Superman.

Like I'm not a middle-aged guy

who could use a few more
hours a week on the treadmill.

You're both smart.

You got the facts.

I gotta work with
the people here.

Keep me out of this?

[MUTTERING]

What are you doing?

I'm practicing for
the damn polygraph.

Listen, dude,
you're gonna pass it.

And after you do,
you should get out.

For real?

Look, this team gets
into a lot of shit.

You're telling me now?

We always say we're through.

Okay, but if you're not
in a hundred percent

split while the going's good.

Because you're either
built for it or you're not.

Hey, techies pulled a slug
out of that dead guy's wall-.

Ballistics don't match
Carl or Scooby's guns.

INS gave us his roommate
off an expired visa.

Ididsa Okoye.

It's Okoye with me,
if it's Okoye with you?

Sponsored by a family
out of Long Beach.

If Okoye executed his roomie,
he's gonna need a place to hide.

So grab your swimsuits,
we're headed to Long Beach.

Lem, Ronnie, go around back.

LEM: You got it, man.

Come on, Ronnie,
let's go down the side.

Ididsa Okoye, is he here?

Is he inside? Speak English?

[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]
Ididsa, Ididsa.

Down!

VIC: Get them out of here.

SHANE: Army.

Army,
get these kids out of here.

VIC: Police! Come on, buddy.

ARMY: All right, come here.

Come on.

[MAN SPEAKING ll\I
NATIVE LANGUAGE]

Sounds Russian.

You ready? Go. Yeah.

Cover.

[GUNSHOTS]

[GUNSHOTS]

[CLICKS]

Let's go, he's empty.

Don't move.

You all right?

He's down. He's down.

Shit.

Vic.

Hey, thank you. Yeah.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Vic.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Don't move. Hey, hey.

We' re cops. Farmmgton PD.

You wanna shoot somebody,
I volunteer this guy.

[SIREN WAILING]

When we responded
to shots fired,

we found this guy
fleeing from the scene.

He involved in the shooting?

That's ldidsa Okoye.
His sister lives here.

Yeah, well,
we found this on him.

It's Carl's.

Hey, man,

you just snagged
yourself a cop killer.

Where's your partner?

He's in the restroom.

I've got a murder I
could use some help on.

I'll be with you in a second.

I heard you're banging my ex.

Trying to get my attention?
No, it's...

I hope you're
thinking that through.

VIC: By the way,

we just picked up one of the
guys who killed Carl and Scooby.

That's great. Yeah.

Weren't you primary on that?

Yeah, well, we're all here to
help each other out, right?

Right?

RAWLING: You are in deep shit.

We know you killed
two police officers.

I didn't kill anybody.

Why were two Russians
holding your family hostage,

waiting for you?

Let's start with the cops.

Did Antwon Mitchell
hire you to kill them?

Who?

Why were the bodies
left in a seized house?

Look, I don't know how it works
back home in lion country,

but here you get the
needle for killing cops.

Give yourself a chance,
you start talking.

Naming names.

You say I killed someone?

I say you are wrong.

They found a police
radio in your apartment.

You had one of their guns on
you when they picked you up.

Both were taken off the
bodies after they were killed.

I am tired now.
I'm going to take a nap.

Okay. Settle down.

Now,
even cop killers have rights.

Sleeping just isn't one of them.

This guy doesn't even
know to ask for a lawyer.

Give me the night. I'll get him
to own up to stabbing our guys.

It just doesn't add up.
Why are the Russians involved?

We'll figure it out.

Looks like it has nothing
to do with the seizures.

Well, isn't that a good thing?
Yes.

Vic. The Russian guy from
the house won't say a word,

but I tied him to
Carl and Scooby.

Pulled his boss over
a few weeks back.

Clocked him doing 50
in a school zone-.

They got into some
kind of argument

and they tossed the guy
in lockup overnight.

What?

Carl liked to get
in people's faces.

They got killed over
a speeding ticket?

DUTCH: We need you to ID
the shooter on the record.

BILLINGS: Why?

Unis pulled over the stolen car.
He was Los Mag, long rap sheet.

So why do you need me?
Because he's not talking.

We don't know who
his accomplices are.

We didn't find a murder weapon.

You're the best detectives-
Tell him you got 10 witnesses-.

Break this asshole and
get him to confess.

We tried.
You're our only eyewitness.

CLAUDETTE: Look,
I know you're scared.

BILLINGS: Come on.

Can you honestly say

that you wouldn't have
done the same thing?

I know I'm an
asshole for asking.

But please take another crack at this guy.
I'm begging.

Well, don't.

Ever heard of Andrei Tretiak?

He's Russian organized crime.

Same as the comrades who were
holding your family hostage.

RAWLING: You're safe and sound
here in the police station.

But what about them?

They already killed
your roommate.

And we stopped them before they
raped and tortured your family.

Well, next time,
they'll be quick.

They might let the kids live

but only if they
cut their eyes out

so they can't be identified.

I mean, it's over for you.

It was over the moment you
killed our two officers.

But I'm giving you a chance to
save the lives of your sister

and the rest of them.

How would you protect them?

We'd move them out of state.

But you have to
give us a statement

and leave nothing out.

VIC: Did Tretiak hire you?

I can't say.
Achebe arranged everything.

Well, while we're gluing
his brains back together,

you give us something
on these Russians.

Just did what Achebe asked.

RAWLING: And what was that?

Well, he was given
names and pictures.

We followed them, your officers,

and we waited for
our opportunity.

Then they went
into an apartment,

so we opened a manhole cover.

When they came back,

we told them we
heard a child below.

So they bent down to look.

That's when I
stabbed the Asian one

in the back of the neck.
He was paralyzed.

Couldn't move his arm.

But the other one,
the black one,

he fought hard.

So I went to help Achebe.

We stabbed him,
we kept stabbing him,

but he wouldn't die.

And then we...

We heard the Asian one.

He was still breathing.

So I went, took him down

and finished him as well.

Cut him here.

And then we carried
them into the building.

The one you had stolen.

Just as Achebe was instructed.

VIC: We straight?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR] Yeah.

Hey, I just wanted to say

that it really means
a lot to everyone

that you guys nailed
those assholes

who killed Carl and Scooby.

This old team still
has a few new moves.

We still gotta get the
Russian string-pullers.

Also, we got a lead on
Antwon's Salvadoran connection.

A guy named Gusano.

You still think
Antwon's involved?

Well, we think he might
be connected somehow.

We're on the way over there now.

Shane and Army have
other business first.

Polygraph in 10
minutes- Gang Central-.

I thought that was next week.

You know the public pressure
we're getting on this.

If I'm to stand
up for this team,

I need assurances,
and I need them now.

If you can put it
off till tomorrow,

this Salvadoran might fill
in some blanks for us.

These two are staying.

Anyway, good work.

Did you have to get
such a pretty tester?

Try and relax.

I'm just, uh,
saying you got my heart rate up.

Could you take a few points off for
me, darling? Heh-heh.

I'm gonna ask you a
series of questions first.

Just to make sure the
machine's working properly.

Make your answers
accurate and honest.

Is your name Shane Vendrell?

Yes.

[MAN SPEAKING IN
SPANISH] Gusano?

What's up?

I'm here to talk about Pitarrio

and his heroin cutter,
Emolia Melendez.

COps?

[DOOR OPENS]

Yo, man, it's a friendly visit.

Since when have cops
been so friendly?

Pitarrio lost
something of yours.

Emolia was worried that
you might blame her too.

I helped her to get it back.

Now I'm helping
to make it right.

Here.

[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]

[LATIN MUSIC
PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]

Tell her to relax,
don't even trip.

As soon as I tell you

to stay the hell away
from her and her kid.

Thank you very much.
It was very nice to meet you.

Hey, it's not that bad.

RAWLING: Army,
let's get started-.

I'm not taking it.

You're what? Mm-mm.

I talked to my PBA rep

and he said I can
refuse to take it.

But we got...
We got nothing to hide.

And I can't get
penalized for it.

He said polygraphs
are subjective

and the results
aren't worth shit.

And that's why they're
not admissible in court.

This isn't about
covering your own ass.

We have to prove that
we didn't set up Antwon.

If people believe that,

they'll think we
framed our cop killer.

Everything will fall apart.

I'm sorry,
that's not my problem.

It is about everyone in here

and how people think
of us out there.

You are screwing every
single cop in this building.

This has nothing to do

with anybody else.
This is about taking care of me.

Look, the guy's just nervous.
I can...

No, it's too late!

ACEVEDA: The injunctions are
keeping the gangs indoors.

I'm surprised to say it.

But Monica's policies
are taking an effect.

The public sees us as having
our boot on their neck.

When does the press get good?

We're seeing a difference.

Somebodyjust has to report it.
Don't shut it down now.

AC EVE DA: She brought
down Antwon Mitchell-.

You've been pissing on her policies.
Why the change?

I'm allowed to
re-evaluate my position,

as long as she's
willing to also.

I think there's a middle ground
that we can all be happy with.

PHILLIPS: Like What?

No. Compromise, retreat

is the worst thing
that we can do.

You'd be abandoning the
memory of those two dead cops

and all that they fought for.

PHILLIPS: Christ.
Don't play that card with me.

Most people think
still they were killed

because of your seizure policy.

Well, they weren't.
It seems there was a traffic dispute.

Do we know that for sure?

Is there any proof we can
put in front of people?

I'll find it.

As for the seizures,
they stay or I go.

Then you can tell the
brass how you lost

one of I.A.'s two
female captains

because she was
too tough on crime.

HEY-

I\\

Oh.

I took care of Gusano.

He's not gonna be a
threat to you anymore.

You can stay here
for a few more days

but after that, I can only
fudge the paperwork for so long.

We'll be fine.

How's this little guy?

Has he been to a doctor?

Sure.

What did they say?

I gotta make him eat.

Try to get him into a preschool.

He used to talk more,

but some of the stuff he's seen,

I'd keep my mouth shut too.

I'll go pick up a few things

to make you guys a
little more comfortable.

Maybe that'll get
him back to talking.

Thanks.

He confessed.
Kept your name out of it.

Thanks, really.

You're welcome.

How about I buy you both a beer?

No, thanks.

Can't. I gotta be somewhere.

Vic's put me through hell
but never this malicious.

He just said that to hurt us.

You're not getting close
to me to get back at him?

No.

Absolutely not.

Maybe at first, a little.

But I really like you now.

Look, I put up with
Vic's shit every day.

So was asking you out a perk?
Sure,

but Vic... Vic's an asshole.

He's the father of my children.

That makes him my
asshole, not yours.

It's not where we started,
it's where we are now.

We started with a lie.
I don't even know where we are now.

I'm sorry.

You think this is easy for me?
Dating again?

I told you it was a bad idea,
but you kept pushing it.

What about my kids now?

I love your kids.

You weren't honest
with me before.

How can I even trust
you with them now?

Or trust myself to you?

Corrine...

You can leave, okay?

I-I, uh...

I am sorry.

It was nothing you
couldn't handle.

I don't have to.
The PBA guy told me...

You trust him before us?
Damn right.

He may not be as
well-versed in these things

as an ex-Army locksmith,
but I'll take my chances.

You stupid shit. Hey, hey.

Your PBA genius,
he gonna get you your next job?

He's gonna keep me out of court.

You toss your
career if you want.

But you made us look guilty
when you blew off that test.

You are guilty. LEM: Shh.

Who's the one who lost
it and shot Halpern?

I know I didn't.

Which makes me guilty too.

VIC: Hey.

Maybe Army's right.

This is as good a time
as any for him to jump.

No reason we can't
leave as friends.

The captain's right.
You are screwing people over.

You're screwing this team over.
ARMY: This team?

That bullshit never worked
for me when I was pulling sand

out of my ass in the desert,
it's not working now.

I didn't take a bullet there,
I'm not gonna take one here.

Not for you guys.

I appreciate your honesty.

Let's go.

[SIGHS]

I vouched for him. I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

We have to shake the Russians.

Figure out how this all
comes back to Antwon.

You think it does?

There's only one guy who
can get El Salvadorans

Russians, Africans and
One-Niners all in the same bed.

Antwon. We just got out

from underneath his shadow.

Why shake a stick
at a hornets' nest?

Anyone who had anything to do

with killing Carl and
Scooby has to pay.

Plus, I got eight missing months
of kicking ass with you guys

to make up for.
