MAN: Previously on The Shield:
Detective Terry Crowley. Remember him?
Two years ago, he was on your Strike Team.
He was undercover. A federal investigation.
He was your teammate, he was a threat, so he had to die.
We killed a cop.
Get over it. Don't bring it up again.
You didn't know, did you?
Vic never told you. Vic did not kill Terry.
So prove it. Wear a wire.
HEY-
Hey, man. We need to talk.
Don't you lie to me. Don't lie to me.
What are you doing? Stop. I need sound.
IAD has me wired, all right? What?
They're watching us right now.
They busted me with some heroin,
they're talking prison if I don't do this.
Why is it even a question? Because I think you're lying.
Look me in the eye and tell me the truth about Terry.
Don't buy into their bullshit. Look me in the eye,
tell me the truth.
Oh, my God.
KAVANAUGH: What happened to your mike last night?
Got disconnected in the fight. How much you get?
Nothing, after you two started to mix it up.
Wanna fill me in? Yeah, I asked him about Terry.
And he still says it was the drug dealer who shot him-.
How'd it get physical with Vic?
Guys like him, they don't just come out and tell you shit.
Had to make it personal to get the truth.
I can't believe I was stupid enough to let you in my head,
make me think Vic had something to do with Terry dying.
Lift up your shirt.
No, you know what? I'm done with that.
Done? Let's just put a pin in Terry for a minute, okay?
I still need to get a sense of what your team's into.
And I got a 15-year sentence hanging over your head.
So please, lift up your shirt.
Let's avoid any technical malfunctions this time,
all right? Yeah.
All right? Okay. Gotcha.
MAN: Hold on, buddy. Yeah?
Hey, what is it? When we're alone, man.
Baby, can you take him? MARA: Yeah?
Hey, guys. There she is. Here's Mama.
Come here, cutie.
It'll be just a second-Okay.
I love you. I love you too.
Yeah, what's up?
Lem got picked up by IAD.
For what? They nabbed him for heroin.
Heroin? We haven't busted any heroin in a while.
What's Lem doing with horse? He's not using.
Are you telling me he's running something on the side?
He wouldn't without telling us. Like burn the money-train cash?
LAD's got him wearing a wire.
So they're coming after us.
We planted a gun on Doomsday,
dropped him off in Mexico yesterday.
He wasn't there. He was covering us, we didn't have a clue.
What do you think they're looking at us for?
How long this been going on? I don't know.
Right now we gotta stay focused on Lem.
Figure out exactly what they got on him
and how to get him out of it.
How we gonna do that if he's wired?
Grab your laptop.
Sweep the clubhouse for bugs and meet us there in a few.
Hey, let's keep our regular routine.
IAD gets a whiff that Lem tipped us, it's over for him.
Lem asked me about Terry last night.
On tape? He pulled the mike out first.
What did you tell him? Nothing.
But he knows.
So, what are we gonna do?
Lem needs help right now. We just gotta back him up-.
We'll explain everything once he's out of trouble.
First downtown asks us for our records on Terry, now Lem.
Think he told them something? He's got nothing to tell.
But that's what lAD's after. We were the only people there.
Nothing that Lem or IAD can do
can ever change that simple fact.
Just gotta stick together.
First one in.
Came to put the java on when I found them.
What time was that?
Let the detectives handle the interviews.
We just need to preserve the crime scene.
MAN: What do you think? Heart attack?
Then she got crushed underneath him?
Talk about coitus interruptus.
What?
She's alive.
Jesus. Give me a hand.
[GRUNTS]
Jesus. She looked dead.
[DOOR OPENS]
Man, You got no sense of humor,
asshole. It's just not that funny.
Tell me this isn't hysterical. Oh, for God's sake.
RONNIE: Don't tell it again. What?
You got three explorers in the Congo, right?
They get captured by natives.
Uh, natives tie up the three whiteys.
They bind and gag them, right?
Chief walks up to the first explorer and he says, uh,
"Uh, you have two choices.
You can choose death or chi-chi."
First explorer didn't wanna die.
He says, "I'll take chi-chi."
Twelve men grab him, rape him, sodomize him for hours,
cut off his dick and his balls, shove them into his mouth,
send him into the woods bleeding from every hole.
The, uh, the chief walks up to
the second explorer and he says, uh:
"You have two choices. You can choose death or chi-chi."
The second explorer debates in his head.
He doesn't wanna die. He says, "I'll take chi-chi."
Eighteen tribesmen grab him, rape, sodomize him for hours,
cut off his dick and his balls shove it into his mouth,
send him into the woods bleeding from every hole.
The chief goes up to the last explorer, right?
And he says, uh, he says, "You have two choices.
You must choose death or chi-chi."
VIC: Yeah. Uh, third explorer,
big macho guy, mustache, looks at him and says, uh:
"I'll choose death."
The chief turns to his entire tribe of a hundred natives,
and says:
"Very well, then.
Death by chi-chi."
Jeez.
SHANE: See, I told you I was funny.
That's not funny. That's disgusting.
Hey, guys, it's locked.
Hold on. Sorry about that. We didn't know it was locked.
You got a dead body, possible sex crime.
Can you give it to somebody whose time isn't as valuable?
We got, like, a million balls in the air now.
Yeah, well, welcome to my world, hon.
Okay, boys, what do you say we clean up a DB by lunchtime?
RONNIE: All right, man.
You okay? Uh, yeah. He just... Just kicked.
RONNIE: He? It's a boy?
Congrats. Thanks. Yeah, just found out.
SHANE: Congratulations.
I'll get the car.
Find out everything we can about this Kavanaugh guy sweating Lem.
What about the heroin they got him on?
Could be chum to set us in motion.
Let's get a bead on this guy before we take his bait.
Okay.
We found him on top of an unknown female.
Arms were bound. We found keys on the table.
Guy's got a truck outside, let himself in.
Poppers. Intensifies the orgasm.
Guess he popped more than he bargained for.
Run it.
Shop owner called it in.
VIC: You know this guy? Never seen him before.
Really? Then why does he have keys to your place?
[INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING]
It's a Teamster shop.
Shane, call the Local 629.
Tell them Rick here's taking
hard-earned cash out of their pockets,
and feeding it to the non-union wetbacks.
Rodrigo's a part-time driver. He never made trouble before.
Union wages are killing my bottom line.
I see the scabs are working out nicely for you.
Where's his rig parked?
Over there.
You know what, check the cab for a purse. We need an ID.
Check 'em.
Dude, no drugs. No candy.
Nothing in the cab.
Hey, guys.
Let me see that crowbar.
Shit.
Watch out. Watch out, watch out, watch out.
Shit. Get this off. Oh, Jesus.
Watch out. Watch out.
Come on, let's go.
They gone?
Yeah, all three of them.
[Hm]
Guy covered up the air vents with electric tape
to keep them quiet.
Shithead suffocated them all.
No IDs on any of them.
Rodrigo did a nickel in Chino
for assault and rape a few years back.
And you saw the Los Perdidos ink.
They must've expanded from drugs to skin trafficking.
Address on the license is old but his PO gave me a new one.
Uh, why don't we file for a warrant?
Gotta check out his crib, see what's there.
Lem and I will hit Mission Cross,
see what we can get from the victim.
How's she doing?
She's sedated and severely dehydrated, but she'll live.
Any signs of sexual assault?
There's multiple tears. It's pretty bad.
Tox report shows Rohypnol in her blood.
She give you a name? Magdalena.
Says that a Federale in Mexico sold her and her little brother
to Mexican gangbangers.
She's not too big on cops.
I told her you were two of the good guys.
VIC: We found three girls in the truck.
We didn't find your brother.
It's okay to talk to them.
They dropped him off just before we stopped.
I heard a man take him.
About 10 minutes later, we stopped again-.
That's when the driver took me inside.
Forced me.
Then he just died-.
[LAUGHING]
Is there anything you can tell us
about the men who sold you?
Or who you were supposed to go to?
They tell us nothing.
My brother, Pablo.
Please find him.
We're gonna do everything we can.
Excuse me, detectives, I have an attorney here for you.
I'm Becca Doyle. You arrested my client, Evan Dayne,
for the cafeteria shooting during the school riot.
Evan? Calls himself Every-Day.
How'd that come to your attention?
I represented him two years ago when he was guilty.
This time he's innocent, so I offered my services pro bono.
What makes you think this guy's innocent?
Is there some place we can talk?
Several eyewitnesses lD'd your boy.
I re-interviewed your witnesses.
Sorry to say, pretty shoddy work.
Mariano gave us Evan,
four others confirmed it.
They're all Mariano's friends. Did you know that?
We're not gonna reopen this case based on who's in what clique.
Mariano gave you a patsy and his buddies backed him up.
You didn't look into your original witness
very hard, did you?
Evan has a history of weapons and assault.
And he's cleaned himself up since.
He's stayed away from guns and gangs.
I've checked in with him every few months
for the past two years.
We do our own investigations.
Look, we all have tough jobs.
And we all make mistakes.
Mine's having a little bit too much faith
in my clients sometimes.
But this time, my faith is justified-.
We'll look into it.
Thank you. I'll wait.
Yeah. All right.
We'll hit you up then. Yup.
Coroner says Rodrigo died of a heart attack.
Mixed too much party fuel.
Shane and Ronnie got the warrant.
Tell them we'll meet them there.
I'll see you at the car in a minute.
Has anyone from the department come around
asking any questions?
What are you talking about?
Uh, there's a rumor flying around.
Someone is trying to make political hay
by coming after my team. Could be lAD.
And this is just a rumor? We're clean.
But they might come poking around asking questions.
The fact is that you and I were married,
so spousal privilege applies to that entire time.
So you don't have to tell anyone anything.
Well, what do I say if they ask?
Just tell them nothing, call me.
What? Ls there something
that I need to hide from them? No, of course not.
Listen, thanks for the help with Magdalena.
Rodrigo's place. Something wrong?
No, I'm fine.
Come on, ladies, it's playtime.
Police!
[CHATTER]
All right. He's gone.
LEM: Clear. Tear it up.
Yeah.
[CLATTERING]
Rodrigo's gonna be pushing the snooze button
in hell from now on.
Nothing.
Shit.
No. It can't be that easy.
He's an ex-con from Mexico, it damn well could be.
Jackpot.
SHANE: Pictures of girls, a few boys.
Hey, it's Magdalena.
The other three girls in the truck.
That accounts for four of them. What about the rest of these?
Where are they?
Hey, Magdalena's brother.
Names, prices. A passenger manifest.
VIC: It's a goddamn kiddie catalog.
HEY-
What's granny doing in here?
Either someone's into dry pussy
or she's helping traffic these kids.
Fifth and Alvarado. Let's go.
DUTCH: I just checked with my witnesses.
Those kids are contradicting everything they told you.
They say Mariano's innocent
and Every-Day did do the shooting.
Maybe it's time to reexamine your faith.
Mariano scared his friends to keep their mouths shut.
We're just trying to get to the bottom of this.
You don't know anybody who would give up Mariano?
If he did, I would have given it to you already.
Look, Mariano's a bad dude.
Besides, it was a riot and we were all running.
Maybe I was the only one that seen him pull the gun.
So right now, it's still his word against five others, right?
No one said this would be easy.
But someone will tell the truth eventually.
Or maybe it's just a play on your part.
You get us to reopen the case,
that creates the reasonable doubt you need to go to trial.
He's facing 12 to 25.
All I'm asking is we be sure.
Why are you still playing along with her?
You know witness statements.
They go down quick, maybe we got taken.
No, this is about something else.
No, it isn't.
You're pissed I called you out about dragging your feet.
Now you're undermining a case I pushed for.
Excuse me, detectives, I'm really short-handed.
Is one of you free? Dutch is.
Dutch, this is Parole Officer Marshall Traynor.
He's got a case. I think it's pretty much right up your alley.
TRAYNOR: Loel missed his court date the other day,
violated his parole.
Means he goes back for another two years.
My friend Ned just did a stretch for armed robbery.
Some dude was taking care of his dog.
Ned asked me to drive him to pick it up.
But the dude wouldn't give it back,
so we go to this guy's place.
TRAYNOR: A trailer.
Where?
Somewhere around here, but he doesn't remember.
So I'm sitting in the truck,
and all of a sudden, Ned comes out all bloody and shit.
Tells me the guy wouldn't give him back the dog.
They fought and Ned hit him in the head with a shotgun.
So you decided to hang around and violate your parole?
Ned had the gun, made me grab the dead body,
hack the head off.
We buried it in a field and then chopped up the body.
What did you do with the body parts?
There was this junkyard with, like,
a half a dozen guard dogs.
I was an unwilling participant, okay?
Did you buy this story?
I believe he's telling the truth.
Because you've dealt with him a lot?
Because his brows were raised, his lips parted and stretched.
I've studied up on reading faces.
Gotten pretty good at it.
I've read up on micro-expression facial action units.
It's fascinating stuff. The results are disputed.
Proof's in the pudding.
So can you spare some time
and help me find this headless pile of dog food?
Yeah.
Uh, first though, what do you think of this kid?
CLAUDETTE: I don't know, Every-Day.
You sure you're not wasting our time?
Lady, I don't have a lot of friends at that school.
But I ain't never shot no one.
My initial hit is he's being truthful.
You're sticking with your story?
[CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING, CHATTER]
Take a look. Mm-hm.
Got it?
There's our granny. Who's she with?
Abuela.
Hey. You get the tortoise. We got the hare.
Get out of the way! Stop!
Stop!
Drop the knife. Drop it!
You got him? Yeah.
Give me your hand. Give me your other one.
I want my lawyer. Yeah? In a minute,
you're gonna want a doctor. Hey, easy.
HEY-
If he wants his lawyer, he gets his lawyer.
SHANE: Big macho guy, mustache
looks at him and says, uh, "I'll choose death."
Chief turns to his entire tribe of a hundred natives
and says: "Very well, then."
Death by chi-chi."
[LAUGHING]
I always get a kick out of that one.
But he's got it wrong, right?
L-it's kee-kee, not chi-chi.
Must be some kind of white thing or something.
I got your message about.
Lemansky's wire mishap last night.
You think your operation's compromised?
I sweated him pretty good. I'm hoping we're still okay.
You're still making the same mistakes everyone else makes.
And what is that?
I used to think that Mackey
was the luckiest son of a bitch alive.
That things just fell into place for him.
And then I realized he was creating his own luck.
So, what you see as a simple microphone malfunction,
I see as calculated.
The worst animal in the joint, 98 percent of the time
he's just like everybody else.
Anybody-
It's the other 2 percent that lands him where he is.
And I'm going to know everything,
everything about Vic Mackey.
And when he goes into 2 percent zone, I got him.
You still don't know who you're dealing with.
Or maybe you're still too convinced
that he's evil 100 percent of the time.
And that's why you keep grabbing for air
and he keeps slipping away.
You've never looked Mackey in the eye,
had him lie straight to your face,
and made you doubt yourself
even though you know he was full of shit.
So until you do,
this is all just a waste of time.
I am so surprised that you're here.
Yeah, you knew I couldn't let go.
Well, Terry was your guy, so I-| understand.
Stop playing me and start worrying about Mackey.
This could be our last shot at him.
And I'm gonna be right here to make sure you don't blow it.
Here, here, here, here. Now, where are these kids, lady?
[TINA SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
[GROANS]
VIC: You're not exactly his type.
Nixon was in office the last time
you could pull off wearing a skirt.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
Rodrigo likes the young bloods.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
Listen to me, you piece of shit.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
I don't know these girls and I've never seen them before.
[ABUELA SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
TINA: I don't have to talk to no goddamn cops.
This is just more gringo bullshit.
[ABUELA SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
Threatening me because I am poor, old, sick Mexican.
I hope your syphilis-infected dick
gets ripped off by rabid dogs...
Oh, hey. Hey, come on.
And gets fed to your whore mother, may she rot in hell.
That's enough of that.
[IN ENGLISH] I want to talk to an attorney.
Did you get that?
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
SHANE: That is one cold slice.
It's a skill she picked up doing a dime and a half in Chowchilla
for murder 30 years ago- How's this going?
It's not. She lawyered up.
LEM: There goes eight hours before we can
push her PD about these missing kids.
VIC: Call the public defender's office.
See if they can get a lawyer here sooner.
All right.
Got a minute? It's Doyle, right?
I'm working a case now.
That's funny, so am I.
I've got a little old lady
right in the middle of a sex-trafficking ring.
Uh, she needs a lawyer.
I'm sure the public defender's office
will send a capable candidate.
It can't wait.
I still got almost 50 Mexican sex slaves in play.
Once word hits the street that Grandma and Jethro got busted,
whole operation goes underground,
they cover their tracks.
How'd you like to do a good deed for the day?
Already have.
And I seem to remember you have a talent
for shading things on the witness stand.
I think you'll be fine.
You still upset about the Crawford case?
The jury felt that guy was guilty.
You can't hold that against me.
The case rested solely on your testimony.
Which was completely on the level.
Sorry, I have my hands full.
So you'd rather hold a grudge
than help make a case that could save lives?
Actually, it's about picking and choosing my clients.
As appealing as your offer sounds,
I'd rather not devote the next month of my life
to protecting a sex-slave-master grandmother.
All I'm asking is an hour.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
They bring the girls to the fruit stand, a few at a time.
Her job is to take them to the drop-off point-.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
TINA: Different places.
Places where there's a lot of kids around.
Bunch of teenage kids with a little old lady like yourself.
Doesn't raise eyebrows.
Who's the contact?
[TINA SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
It always changes. He finds her after she makes the call.
We gotta set up a meet.
BECCA: That's not part of the deal.
I have to send one of my people to the meet.
We follow the contact and bust up the whole operation.
If you want her doing fieldwork, which wasn't in the deal,
then I need probation.
Dream on.
BECCA: If everything hinges on her,
I'd be a fool to give up that hammer.
Just like you were foolish for letting me know
how important she is to making your case.
Come here.
You'd set her free?
No. You will.
And maybe next time, you won't make that mistake.
Right now, it's the only deal to be made.
We're gonna hear every word you say.
You're gonna be in our sightlines at all time.
Questions? No, I'm good.
[DOOR OPENS]
Lowe has misgivings about putting his trainee under.
She's still on probation.
VIC: Decoy's supposed to look young.
Wide-eyed and new works for us.
The thing I don't want is the bad guys
getting one whiff of cop off of her.
Could jeopardize the whole takedown.
What about you, honey? Think you can handle this?
They got me covered. I don't see a problem.
VIC: Well, let's do this thing.
Julien, you're in charge of uni backup.
TINA: Appreciate the support.
You heard my reasons.
My only concern now is getting you home safely.
Hey, Vic. VIC: Yeah.
That, uh, report you asked for.
Everything we could find on short notice.
Word is he gave up his own partner to IAD back in the day.
Flies solo, only investigator that worked without a partner.
Means it's four on one. That's good. Anything else?
Grew up in Inglewood. Uh, put himself through school.
Degrees in psychology, criminology. Poor kid done good.
VIC: Bookworm.
Golden Gloves champ at the academy.
Five in Vice. Stint in Robbery Homicide.
Family? Divorced, no kids.
We gotta figure out what this guy has to lose.
Look, everybody's all-American
can't be that clean. Keep digging.
VIC: She's dropping her off.
What's this guy doing?
Teresa? Si.
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
VIC: Looks like our trafficker.
LEM: They're getting into a van.
You speak English? Sure.
Julien, suspect's driving a brown, two-tone, shit-box van.
Just keep your team in position.
TRAFFICKER: They like it when you come in English.
TINA: Whatever you want.
Hey, move it, shithead. Hey.
Yo! Hey, move your car. Hey!
What the hell is this? Come on, move!
Move your car!
MAN: I'll move my car.
Shit, Shit, Shit.
SHANE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Turning left on Wilshire.
I got it.
SHANE: Come on, man, we're losing them.
TRAFFICKER: You get to the house, they get you started.
Clothing, makeup... He's turning again.
Vic, where are you?
VIC: Minor detour, Julien.
Just hold your position.
TINA: When can I see my brother?
TRAFFICKER: You turn enough tricks in
you get privileges. Do as we say.
TINA: Is he safe? TRAFFICKER: Yeah.
Behave, he'll stay that way. Got it?
He's heading into the alley?
TINA: Si. What is going on?
TRAFFICKER: We're gonna break you in first.
They're stopping at the gate.
TRAFFICKER: Get down on your knees.
Fiesta time, amigos.
Hey. It's fiesta time.
It's a gangbang. Screw it, let's go.
No, hold on, hold on. TINA: You boys got a condom?
We're gonna do your mouth, not your clam, bitch.
Come on, open up. Come on.
TINA: Excuse me.
I got gonorrhea in my throat.
What?
Look, l-I'll suck you boys off,
but don't hate me later if it burns.
TRAFFICKER: Forget about it. Never mind.
When we get to the house, we run a train on your ass.
Don't be telling customers you're sick.
Good girl.
Yeah, shorty's got game.
They're moving.
DUTCH: You, uh... You sure they're chained up tight?
Long as you don't piss me off, we're good.
[CHUCKLES]
I always thought, uh, face-reading should be
one of the first things they teach at the academy.
I taught myself.
Be happy to loan you some books and DVDs.
If you wanna grab a bite later, I'll give you a quick rundown.
Yeah, sounds good.
You'll be surprised how transparent people become.
Your partner, for instance.
Claudette?
Trying to hide something from you.
Pretty obvious. Somethings in the closet.
The whole pack was over here the entire day.
That's when I found it.
Well, thanks for the hand.
[CHILDREN LAUGHING]
SHANE: This is his place or they run girls from here?
VIC: Hold on.
We jump too early, we'll get nothing.
[WOMAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
VIC: Okay. Looks like the madam to me.
That's it. Everybody move in. Let's bust it, now.
[WOMEN SCREAMING]
VIC: Hope you take walk-ins.
[WOMEN SCREAMING]
[OFFICERS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
JULIEN: On your knees.
Get down!
Get down right now on the ground.
Get down!
Let's find Tina.
Clear.
Tina! TINA: Vic!
Vic!
JULIEN: You okay?
I didn't have my baton,
but every guy's got their weak spot.
How right you are.
Good girl, nice work.
Where's the kid?
Acting like he doesn't understand.
Found 10 girls-The rest of them are still missing-.
You don't know about Pablo?
What about the rest of the girls? And the boys?
I want my lawyer.
That the first thing they teach you pricks
once you cross the border? Put him in the van.
Hey, we take this shithead to the Barn, he's gonna clam up.
RONNIE: Word gets out about this,
we're never gonna find the rest of them.
Well, maybe he's not as stupid as he looks.
Come on. Let's go, asshole.
This is a shitty day. Only got about half those kids.
At least we get to stick the needle in someone for it.
What? Guttierez is gonna get five to seven, max.
VIC: Hey, hey, we got three dead girls.
SHANE: This asshole wasn't anywhere near that.
We've got conspiracy, so he's up for the murders too.
VIC: That's right.
That... That is good news.
Doesn't mean he'll get the death penalty.
Ah, Calhoun is prosecuting.
Wow, man. So I guess that means he will.
Who's Calhoun? VIC: Shut up, you prick.
You wanted a lawyer, now we can't talk to you.
But I ain't getting no death penalty
for girls I didn't kill. I didn't even see.
Save it for your last words lying on the gurney.
I wouldn't expect any clemency with the Terminator as governor.
Carlos Odofiez. He's the boss.
Oh, oh. You waiving your right to an attorney?
Of your own free will?
Yeah.
But you'll help me, right?
VIC: Where are the rest of the girls?
There's a house on Colquitt. Another one on Adams.
All right, the boy Pablo, where's he at?
Bangkok.
They flew him, the rest of the boys, out this afternoon.
Bangkok?
Jesus.
HEY-
Jon, hi.
Hey, help your sister in the car, okay?
How you holding up?
Good. Andy's a handful, but you know, it's worth it.
Yeah. Listen, here is my address and phone number.
We still on for that Friday play date?
Yeah. If there's a problem, I'll call you.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. Okay.
Where is Andy?
Sometimes I wonder if this extra program
is an excuse to bilk me out of extra money.
From the school, yes. The teachers, no.
Um, you liking the teacher or...?
I'm blanking on her name right now. Um, remind me.
What, it's the woman with the, uh...
Um, I thought Mr. Dunhill
taught the after-school program.
He does, but I'm talking about her aide, his aide.
Anyway, look, I'll see you on Friday, if not sooner.
Yeah, good. I gotta get my kids home.
But I'll see you then, okay?
See you.
Just got this case an hour ago.
Why is my client arrested for second-degree murder
when another boy was arrested?
I'm sure you've heard Every-Day's attorney
is making my life hell.
She's taken depositions from half the high school.
Depositions listing you as the shooter.
Bullshit. My friends were there.
They saw Every-Day pull that gun.
What are you writing? Every-Day's release.
DA's decided to drop the case, charging your client.
Based solely on witness statements?
They also just found gun residue in his locker.
[LAUGHING]
LAWYER: What else do you have?
DA doesn't want me revealing it until we're closer to trial.
This does not need to go to trial.
What do I have to do to make a deal?
Convince your client to drop the high school clique crap.
School him on what it's like to have this evidence,
a high-priced lawyer, and a very pissed-off cop
working against him.
Gun residue in a locker?
I'd never let you get away with that.
Cops are allowed to twist the facts with suspects.
I directed my comments to him.
Evan's being released tonight.
I know.
Thanks for your help.
I owe you one, I mean that.
Call in a favor whenever you need it.
I Will.
I, uh... I heard.
Nice work. Thanks.
How's yours going?
Uh, turns out the parolee was coerced.
So he won't go down for the murder or hacking up the body.
The other guy's going away for a long time.
And I'm, uh... I'm sure about him.
Good. Well, where you running off to?
A dinner with Marshall.
What? I can't have other colleagues as friends?
Marshall has quite a reputation as a man's man,
if you know what I mean.
He's... He's gay?
While you were reading faces, he was reading your package.
Have fun, though.
Cage would look a lot prettier with Abuela's ugly mug in it.
Sure you don't wanna find a loophole in our deal?
I couldn't let you run roughshod over a little old lady,
much as she deserved it.
You looking for more business?
I appreciate the offer
but I'm okay watching from the sidelines
while they get theirs.
I'd like to go home and wash this place off me.
You talking about the cops or the criminals?
See you in court someday, detective.
Vic.
I got something important.
Someone has been asking questions.
VIC: Who?
This man, he's approached me a few times.
Where at?
Glenridge. He, uh...
He said he was a parent of an autistic child.
But I've been around cops long enough
to know what they sound like. Besides,
I've never even seen his kid, so...
That him?
Yeah. Why's he coming to our school?
What did he ask you?
I'm trying to remember.
Something about paying the tuition.
And how do we do it, how involved you are.
What did you tell him?
Told him you gave us money for whatever we needed.
I was trying to sell you as a good dad.
I didn't tell him about the cash in the bag.
Good. Don't tell him shit.
Asshole has no business talking to you about this.
It's my problem.
I'll take care of it. All right?
[BOTH MOANING]
SHANE: Oh, I'm gonna come.
[BOTH MOANING]
Everything okay?
[SIGHS]
Yeah. Yeah?
Mm-hm.
That was great.
But, uh, you were somewhere else.
Was it about that meeting this morning?
Yeah. Lem's in some hot water.
Yeah?
How hot?
We don't know yet.
I thought you said that you were done with that,
that you're gonna keep clean.
I have been.
Yeah? I swear.
Then why are you so worried?
Hm?
Don't you worry. Okay?
We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.
"We" meaning you and Vic
together as a team standing behind Lem?
No, listen. Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Team's one thing. Family's another.
All that stuff that happened with Antwon,
you know,
I was looking at prison in the eye.
I know. I know.
HEY-
I'm not gonna let anything happen to us.
Jackson needs his father.
Well, I need the both of you.
Hear me?
[DOOR OPENS]
Buddy in Immigration called.
He's putting the word out on Pablo.
Spoke to an American diplomat in Bangkok.
I meant what I said about not giving up on him.
Okay. Good.
Feel like there's some unfinished business between us.
What's that?
It's this Terry thing.
You thought I was hiding something from you?
Here's the truth.
I swept through that house.
I cleared that bathroom.
At least I thought I did.
Somehow Two-Time got past me.
I left Terry exposed.
I made a mistake.
Never told anybody I thought it was my fault.
It's something I've been living with for a long time now.
Finally, I decided to move on.
Something you're gonna have to push past too.
Yeah. Okay.
Hey, Vic. Her Majesty Billings needs to see you.
VIC: Tell him I'll be right there.
Got it.
[DOOR CLOSES]
What's up?
Somebody here to see you.
Jon Kavanaugh. Internal Affairs.
Vic Mackey.
Yeah.
Mind if I have a moment alone, captain?
No, not at all.
KAVANAUGH: Thank you.
What can I do for you, detective?
It's lieutenant.
Right.
We're just cops, just like you.
I guess the good looks, it just throws everybody off.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Anyhow,
we're making a tour of the division.
With the budget cuts, the bosses, they're afraid
that there might be, uh,
a lot of temptation to take short-cuts.
And I'm just here to remind everyone
that I'm still on the case,
and there is a right way to do things.
I've been a cop for 14 years. You guys never toured before.
New management.
Putting a friendlier face on the old "rat squad."
[CHUCKLES]
Anyhow, there is no reason why you and I
should not be on the same page.
Why you talking to me?
You run a special team.
Those get most of the abuse allegations.
And from what I hear,
those people out there, they all follow your lead.
Well, can't blame them for having good judgment.
[CHUCKLES]
Is there anything brewing I should know about?
I mean, anything at all suspicious.
Not that I can think of.
You sure?
It is good to meet you.
You too.
[CHUCKLES]
[Hm]
