Why?
Because then l'd get to hug and kiss you

a message.
Okay.
Don't move!
Don't touch that alarm!
Search the house.
Put her in the van.

walking in their bikinis.
Man, this is the greatest
cell phone ever made.

Hey, l draw you.

Okay, Ryan, l really want you
to hear this, okay?
We're not
getting back together.
What, you mean

'Cause that's fine.

This is just some
big joke to you, isn't it?
No, it's not,
it's not.
Yes, yes,
you know, see...
this is exactly why l broke up with you
in the first place.
You are irresponsible,
self-centered,
completely childish.
And, look,
l need to move on.
All right, okay, wait, wait, wait.
l know l used to be that way.
l used to be all those
things, but not anymore.
l'm serious, Chloe,
ever since you dumped me,
l've been thinking
about my life...
and l've changed.
- Sure you have.
- l have.
l came down here
to volunteer.
For what?
For what... for the--
the ''Heal The Day.''
Watch your back.
''Heal the bay?''
Yes, that's what l said.
That's bullshit.
Give me something-- give me something
to do. l'll prove it to you.
Okay then,
Here. These flyers need to be handed
out before the concert tonight.
- Okay.
- Chloe, he can get the t-shirts.
Right... there're four boxes
of T-shirts
that need to be picked up
from the Office Depot.
Okay, that's not
a problem.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Shit!
l'm just a big fan of, you know--
elastic. l think it's awesome.
Ah, dude,
that sucks.
No, that sucks more.
l'm not doing this.
- Please, Chad. lt'll take 10 minutes.
- No! Dude, no.
You get to hang out with her friend with
the nipples. l think she liked you.
You're a god,
thank you.
lt's awesome.
See you later, man.
Ah, so it's chilly
out here, huh?
No, not really.
l beg to differ.
Hello? Hello?
lf you'd like to make a call--
- Shit!
# My baby loves me #
# And l'm running away #
# Running away #
# l've been
thinking lately #
# About the things
l've done so wrong... #
Hello, gorgeous.
See, this is exactly why l broke up
with you in the first place.
You are irresponsible,
completely childish...
Hello.
Hello, hello!
Hello, thank God!
Who is this? Chloe?
My name is Jessica Martin.
l need your help.
l've been kidnapped. l-- l need you
to go to the police.
Kidnapped, huh?
This is for real.
l-- l don't know where l am.
l-- l'm locked up
in an attic somewhere.
l-- l think they're going
to kill me.
Nice kidnappers
to give you a phone.
They-- they didn't give me
a phone, no.
Th-- there was a--
Right, l think if you were in trouble,
you would've called the cops and not me.
Now, l got another
call, okay?
Please, just listen.
The phone l'm on
is shattered.
l've been clicking wires
together forever
trying to reach
someone, anyone.
Please,
just don't hang up.
l may not get anyone else.
Right, later.
- Hello?
- l have no idea what just happened.
One minute l'm talking
to nipples, next thing you know,
l'm wearing a whale costume
handing out flyers.
That sucks.
Sounds like she got you.
l mean, l'm not saying
it doesn't have its benefits.
Hey, you guys know that a blue whale's
got an 11-foot penis?
- Heal the bay.
- Really?
l gotta to go.
l'll see you later.
All right,
later, bud.
Can you hear me?
You're still there, huh?
You know, this has been really fun.
But now you're wasting
my minutes. l'm gonna go.
They're going to kill me.
You're my only hope.
Nice with the fake tears,
lady.
- What's your name?
- What?
Please, tell me your name.
Ryan.
Ryan...
l don't know who you are.
l don't know you at all.
But l can't believe
that you would be so selfish
that you wouldn't take
to hand your phone
to a police officer.
Just 10 minutes.
Okay, 10 minutes.
Hold on.
Hold on a second.
Shut up, okay?
Now listen to me.
l'm a cop and have been
for 27 years.
So let's just cut the bullshit, pal,
because l've heard it all.
Now, l ordered the ''Rain Shower''
with awapuhi.
Don't tell me jojoba is awapuhi.
l wasn't born yesterday.
So l'm gonna return the two cases and
you will refund my money.
Or maybe-- maybe l should
just drive down there
and we can discuss this
in person.
No, no, no, l've got loofahs
up my ass.
What l want is a refund.
Thank you.
Thank you,
l appreciate that.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Hey, Mooney, l thought
the captain told you
you're not supposed
to have this shit sent here anymore.
l ordered this a long time ago, before
he ever told me that.
Sea sponges from
the coast of France.
Sea sponges?
Your husband like that sort of stuff?
Hey, lay off him,
all right?
At least he's got a plan.
What does your future hold
besides bowling nights
and a beer belly?
- Hey, this is Kevlar, pal.
- Yeah, have another doughnut.
Asshole.
- Thanks, Jack.
- Yeah, forget about it.
You sure about this
beauty parlor thing?
Day spa. lt's a day spa.
And no, l'm not sure
about shit.
You know, you could
always come work for me.
l could use you
on the task force, really, could.
Thanks, Jack.
l appreciate that.
But l made a deal
with Mare.
And it's not just that.
l'm bored.
Okay.
- What?
- No, nothing.
What? Come on,
say it.
You're pussy-whipped, Bob.
l mean, she's got you wrapped around
her little finger like a toy.
No, l-- look,
lf this thing takes off,
we can make a shitload of money.
And then we'll see
who's laughing.
All right, l hope so.
Here is our top story
this hour.
Breaking news
coming out of Culver City:
The bodies of two men have been
discovered outside a local warehouse
shot execution-style in what appears
to be yet another gangland slam.
These murders are the latest episode
in what has been dubbed
a gang war over Los Angeles'
illegal street-drug trade.
All right, l'm at the police station.
l'm running inside.
- l'll give them the phone.
- Thank you so much.
Excuse me, Officer.
Hold on a second,

Hey, listen, l got some lady on the
phone who says she's been kidnapped.
Will you talk to her?
- Thank you.
- Sergeant Mooney.
Y-yes, yes, Officer,

Jessica Martin.

Go to the window.
There's something

Just let me explain it
to you, just trust me.
- Here, here he is.
- What?
Okay.
- This is it.
- Yeah.
Hey, bro, this isn't
my wife, okay?
My wife's name is Patty.
My name is Ed. Good luck.
You goddamn animals
better not have hurt them.
Animals?
We just recovered
the stolen vehicle.
lt's heading
to Quicksilver Towing.
We're gonna have a look around
for the suspect.
Shit!
- Craig! No! No!
- Jess! Jess!
No!
Here she is. We've got your kid.
Now where is it?
Tell them, tell them they've got the
wrong family. That it's a mistake.
Oh, God, Jess, l'm sorry!
This isn't a mistake.
Listen to me.
l've made arrangements.
lt's in a safety
deposit box.
And it's got special instructions that
if anybody gets to it--
No! No!
Stop it!
Here is the deal, Craig.
Either you give us
what we want,
or l blow her brains
all over you right now.
Your call. lt's an 85c
bullet to me, Craig.
Okay, okay, please, please, God.
Please don't hurt her, please.
lt's in our bank
in Century City.
Please, don't hurt her.
- Please! l love you, Jess.
- No! No!
You'll have help
in the bank.
Please, don't hurt her, please!
Jess, l love you!
- Please, don't hurt her.
- No!
Ryan, they've gone
to the Brenner Building
on Olympic
and Century Park.
Hey, change of plan.
l gotta get to Century City fast.
This definitely has
a smoother feel.
And the fruit acid
is still--
burning the shit
out of my face.
Okay, well then l think we're definitely
gonna have to go with this pink one.
No, Mare, it's
highway robbery.
What about the--
the other blue one?
No, l didn't like
the way that one dried.
l think it's the uh...
l think it's the live algae
in this one.
Mare, listen to me.
l'm not being
negative, okay?
But l think
this is bullshit.
Live algae
at $80 a pop?!
And we're rubbing it
on our face?
Do you know how much algae
there is in the world?
Honey, this one works.
Yes, but maybe it's
the-- the collagen.
No, sweetie,
they all have collagen.
l have to get that
'cause it might be the painter.
Authorities are asking
for your help
in identifying this man
believed to be responsible
for today's
bizarre string of crimes.
lt started with a robbery
at gunpoint of a 457 cellular store.
We were afraid he was gonna try to rob
the cash registers.
But all he ended up doing
was buying a charger.
Buying?! He bought that charger.
He paid for it?
Yeah, actually
he overpaid it.
'Cause we have
this sale going on.
Well, There you have it,
a bizarre twist in today's crime spree--
a criminal who appears
at least at moments
to be honest.
Back to the newsroom.
He continued his crime spree
by stealing an $80,000
Porsche Carrera at gunpoint.
l basically got cut off
by this young man,
very good-looking,
in a security car.
And he was on the phone
talking to his friend, Jessica
who was supposedly
''kidnapped.''
Whatever the--
like-- you know...
and then, uh, basically he just
held me up at gunpoint
and stole my Porsche.
Directory assistance.
Yeah, l need the number
of a residence, please.
Jessica Martin
in Brentwood.
That number is 555-6763.
For an additional 40--
Hi, you've reached
the Martins.
Leave your number
and we'll call you back.
She had an accent...
Oh, you've got
to be kidding me.
Thank you.
Whoa, hey!
l'm sure once all
the paperwork is done--
we should be getting it
in the next four or five days...
Yeah.
Ryan, what are you
going to do now?
l haven't had a clue
what l was doing all day.
Mr. Martin. Oh, my--
are you all right?
Car accident, l'm fine.
l just need to get
back into my deposit box.
l don't know what's in it.
l just know
if they get it, we're dead.
JT, will you show Mr. Martin
to his deposit box?
Don't let them
get it, Ryan.
Excuse me.
- Come on, come on, let's go.
- What's going on?
- No!
- Get some help.
Run!
Drop your weapon.
L.A.P.D., lock the building down.
Dimitri, get him out of here.
No.
Shit!
Damn it!
Deason, back of the building,
back of the building now.
Ethan, he's gone.
lt's heading
to Quicksilver Towing.
We're gonna have
a look around for the suspect.
Hey, hey, hey,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Follow that tow truck.
Craig Martin here.
Now this building has 5,000 square feet
to use as offi--
What the hell?
Jesus.
Are these cops?
What are they doing?
Waste this guy.
All right.
Light 'em up, boss.
Who they?-- what the--
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, God! Oh, Je--
Jack, get that asshole.
Shit.
l'm a dead man.
Ms. Martin?
Ms. Martin!
Police.
Anybody here?
Police officer.
without this shit!
Where's Jessica Martin?
Who are you?
l am a cop.
Shit.
Yes, Operator,
l'm a police officer.
l need paramedics
to 3270 Bonhill Road.
One moment, please.
All right, no, no, no,
stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Would you just
give me back my goddamn car?
Don't take that tone
of voice with me, sir.
l already told you.
We do not release vehicles
until all impound fees
are paid.
Hey, you know what?
That's really awesome.
But guess what? l did not ask for it
to get impounded, okay?
l got carjacked.
Do you know what that is?
A carjacking? Where a jackoff comes up
to you, sticks a gun to your head
and says-- hey, buddy, get out of-- l
was car-- l had it stolen from me.
Sir, you want
your car back or not?
Do l want my--
l don't know-- let me think
about it for a second...
yes, but l'm not
paying for it.
Howie, take her
on back.
Howie? Howie-- no.
Howie!
Howie, cut it out.
You're not--
just-- okay, fine.
That's fine, it's fine.
lt's all bad.
l'm just gonna-- this is what l'm gonna
do-- l'm gonna pay you, okay?
Never mind, Howie.
Who do l make it out to?
Lady who sucks? ls that it?
l tell you right now,
here you go.
One scratch on the car
and guess who gets an ass whip--?
Hey, that's my car!
That's my car! Oh, no, this isn't
happening, this isn't happening.
That ain't Howie.
Thank you. Yes.
Well, you missed
all the major pipes.
And you're gonna need
about five stitches.
But some of this tissue
looks gangrenous.
That's avocado mud mask.
lt's for combination skin.
Moon? You all right?
Yeah.
Can you give us
a minute, fellas?
Jack, l didn't know
she was a cop. l--
Hey, Moon, take a breath, okay?
lt's gonna be okay.
You just gotta tell me exactly
what happened here.
l don't know. l'm still trying
to figure it out.
l went inside. l clearly identified
myself as a cop
and she just
opened fire on me.
She didn't say a word.
She just started shooting.
l checked her lD.
Dana Bayback--
Bayback...? No.
l never heard of her.
She was pretending
to be Jessica Martin.
Hold on a second.
Who's Jessica Martin?
The woman who owns
the house.
And l think the real Jessica Martin
is in trouble, Jack.
Did-- did Bayback-- did she say anything
to you at all, anything?
Nothing.
She never had a chance.
lt's gonna be okay.
Hello?
Hello? Are you there?
You little bitch.
l wanna know who
you were just talking to.
No! Ow!
First l'm gonna kill you,
then l'm gonna kill your little kid.
Oh, you wanna play?
What did you do to me?
Brachial artery
pumps 30 liters
of blood a minute.
But there's only five
in the human body.
l'm sorry. God!
Bitch!
- Mom!
- Ricky.
Ricky? Baby, are you okay?
l can't get out of here.
Yeah? Ethan!
- You better take this.
- What is it?
l got what you're
looking for.
- Oh?
- Yeah.
Okay, and what l do
for it?
What?!
What l do for what l looking for?
You tell me now.
Wait, who's this?
What number did l call?
You call me
on the payphone.
You waste my time.
l have pictures to draw.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude.
Chill out.
No, you don't tell me what to chill.
My mother tells me to chill.
l sit here, l draw people
telling me to chill out all the time.
You don't tell me what to chill.
l chill you.
Chad!
l thought you said
you had this under control.
- lt is.
- Oh, really?
Why don't you ask
Bayback about that?
l heard about the cop.
She handled it already.
Oh, yeah? She handled that before
or after he killed her?
What?
Bayback is dead.
A cop was investigating
Jessica Martin's disappearance.
Something about some kid
who tipped him off.
- He knows too much.
- Mooney doesn't know shit.
And let's just leave
the thinking to me, okay?
Go back to the bank,
get the video of the kid.
Check every frame till you find one we
can use to lD that son of a bitch.
You got it.
Dimitri!
Ricky!
Listen to me.
Get away from the window.
Do you see the cabinet
in the corner?
Go over there
and get behind it.
No! Don't leave me!
Don't leave me.
No, l'm not
gonna leave you.
l'm not gonna leave you.
l'm gonna be right back, okay?
l'm gonna take you home.
Okay, Mommy.
Get outside now!
Come on, baby,
get in the back seat.
Get down, hurry!
Get down.
Get out of the car now.
Mom.
- Get out of the car.
- No!
No, don't!
- Get out of the car.
- No, don't! Don't!
You wanna save
that boy here?
Get out of the car,
you bitch!
Don't, no!
Get out, bitch!
- Who did you tell?
- Nobody.
Lying bitch!
Who is that kid at the bank?
l don't know--
You are dead.
Your family is finished.
Bad timing, Tanner.
l think we got off
on the wrong foot.
How did you get
this number?
Well, modern technology
is amazing, you know.
My phone remembers
the last 50 incoming calls.
What do you want?
l want the woman
and her family.
Okay, now let me tell you
what l want.
l want you to tell me
where you are right now.
Or bad things are gonna happen
to this little family.
Sorry,
it doesn't work that way.
Oh, really?
Go cut the kid's throat.
Fine. You lost.
Nice talking to you.
Ring.
Come on, ring.
Ring!
Get the point?
You're playing
with fire, kid.
Yeah, know what? You're lucky l'm still
talking to your sorry ass, all right?
From here on out, you do as l say,
exactly as l say.
Or l slap this bitch on ''Nightline''
and call it a day, okay?
So how do you want
to do this?
Santa Monica Pier.
No. Too busy.
Yeah, that's kind
of the idea, dickhead.
How will l recognize you?
You let me
worry about that.
Give me a number
l can reach you.
l can hardly wait.
Me too.
Yeah?
- Where's your cop friend?
- He's right behind me.
We're making a trade with the kid
at the Santa Monica Pier.
- Your boy can lD him.
- All right, l'm on it.
So how's he looking?
He needs to go
to the hospital.
- Why? What's up?
- No, it's nothing.
Come on, what's up?
We caught a break with that kid that
robbed the cell phone store.
That's the kid
who was in the station.
Yeah well, we know he is at
the Santa Monica Pier,
but no one can lD him.
No one knows what he looks like.
l do. l saw him this morning.
l can point him out to you.
Absolutely not. You need to get stitches
or it's gonna open up again.
Here, you take care of him.
l can wait 20 minutes.
You're sure
you're up for this?
Come on, let's solve
this goddamn thing.
All right.
Ethan, l'm here.
- Dimitri,
- l'm in position.
You here?
Yeah.
Showtime, he's on.
So now what?
First you show me
the Martins are okay.
There's a black van in the parking lot
at the northwest corner,
next to the Spy Sunglass
truck.
Okay, l can see it.
He's within
visual of the van.
Now look at
the passenger side window.
Deason, show the woman.
- Did you see that?
- Yeah.
We found him yet?
No, l don't see him.
He's the one on the cell phone,
you idiot.
Everybody's
on a cell phone.
Six feet tall,
Caucasian,
light brown hair,
sandy hair, about 20.
l wish l could remember
what he was wearing.
Your turn, now you show me
something.
- No, first you let them go.
- l don't think so.
Not until after
you give me the camera.
Yeah, l've been thinking
about that.
You know, it does me no good
to hand over the videotape,
then you guys
turn around and take us out.
l swore l wouldn't do that.
Like you swore
to protect and serve?
- Look, it's your choice.
- Excuse me.
Either the Martins or the videotape.
Either way, l'm walking in five minutes.
l'm warning you.
Shit!
l cannot believe you.
Where have you been?
- Chloe!
- Here. There he is.
l got him. He's across from the arcade
talking to some girl.
Damn it, Ryan, you know
how long l waited for those t-shirts?
That was so important to me.
Look, l can explain it to you.
l just can't do it right now.
lt's not safe. There are
people after me right now.
God, l tried to call you
and your phone is off.
Hey, kid, l've been
looking for you.
lt's me, Mooney
from the police station.
- Shit!
- No, wait, wait, wait,
wait a second, it's-- ouch!
Hey, there you are, kid.
You run, everyone dies.
Would you relax?
He's a cop.
He's with me.
Jessica Martin?
You were right.
l got the kid.
Copy.
We're all good
here, right?
- Hey, Mooney, you don't look so hot.
- Nah, l'm all right.
No, l wanna get you over to the hospital
and get that checked out.
- This is detective Dimitri, C.l.D.
- Hey.
Get him over to the hospital.
Get him looked at.
Just relax, will you?
You're in good hands.
Yeah.
Will someone please explain to me
what's going on?
Who is she?
She's nobody.
l've never seen her before.
Let's go have a little chat about
Jessica Martin, huh?
God, that felt good.
This-- this is nothing.
Except my wife is gonna kill me
when she sees it.
That is it.
All right, we've got it.
We're all done here.
Take care of the Martins.
Tanner... we can take care of him
back at the safe house,
not here.
Dude! What are you doin'?
l was like--
take a walk.
Shit!
Yeah-ah!
Now get up! Up!
Put them on.
Put them on.
You were gonna shoot me?
lt's all right.
l'm a policeman.
That's a very bad man.
The kid's in a boathouse
under the pier.
Copy that?
Ethan, you copy that?
Copy.
Last chance, kid.
You come out now,
l'll make it easy on you.
Okay then.
You wanna do it this way?
Cocky little piece
of shit!
Time's up.
Bye-bye.
Oh, shit.
Do you have any idea how much trouble
you've caused me today?
Who are you?
How did you get involved?
l just answered my phone.
Shit.
You're pathetic.
The bitch has
more fight than you.
Come on.
Okay, that's enough.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit!
Please. Please!
Let him up.
Help me.
They're dirty cops.
He attacked my partner.
He tried to kill me.
l said let him up.
You're gonna believe
this lying piece of shit over a cop?
lt doesn't matter
what l believe.
What's important is that
you believe
l would put a bullet in your skull
if you don't let him up.
They kidnapped Jessica Martin
and her family.
- Hands in the air.
- What?!
Do it, now!
Turn around.
Drop the gun.
We've got to get out of here.
Stay with me.
Ah, God, aah.
My leg.
Stay there.
Okay.
No.
- Mom, no!.
- Ricky, look at me. Look at me, son.
Look at me.
All right, Mom, hurry.
Mom!
Ryan.
Jessica.
lt's okay, it's over.
Through, please...
- Absolutely ridiculous.
- Save it.
Oh, Bob, thank god.
Will you back me up here?
l'm getting set up,
man, l--
Hey, sorry to interrupt. Have you guys
seen these new phones?
They're amazing.
They've got technology
and features like--
video recording.
Moon, don't listen
to this punk.
They destroyed
the original recording
but not till after l copied it
into my phone.
lt's footage of this officer
and his men
robbing and murdering
two drug dealers in an alley.
This is total bullshit.
Jack, did l ever tell you
how much l hate dirty cops?
l think those chemicals
from your beauty parlor
are getting
your brain, Moon.
lt's a day spa,
you fuck.
Get him out of here.
Are you all right?
Yeah, it's...
fine.
l-- l don't know if there's
anything l could ever do--
thank you.
l do.
Don't ever call me again.
Yes, thank you!
