Sigalert on the northbound 405 at the 10 due to an overturned semi.
It spilled over a hundred cases of diapers all across the lanes of traffic.

Keep going.
I'll get over it.
You've been working too hard.
This coming from a girl who works four double shifts in five days ? Hey, life of nurse.
Life of a cop.
Hey let's just take a drive up the coast Blow off the world for a day.
I got a meeting with internal affairs at 3 :00.
- This is about Andrea ? - Yeah.
How serious is it ? Serious enough.
I'd hate to lose another partner just'cause somebody's got a personal ax to grind.
You think Chad has something to do with it ? Ah, no.
Listen your business is your business, and me bringing up my ex-husband in the shower just that wasn't right, so I'll never do it again.
I didn't mean to break your your palm tree thing.
My mom gave it to me.
I'm sorry.
Where can I- where can I get you a new one ? This cute little place in Palm Springs.
I think it's called a gas station.
Listen I know things haven't been exactly- No, everything's all good, all right ? I'll call you at the hospital ? - All right.
- Be safe.
Give Rambis a hug for me.
Okay.
I've got a dozen e-mails to return, a conference call that starts, like, now.
And the note says What ? You want me in Burbank by 8 :00 ? That's in 20 minutes.
I'm in Venice.
Oh, gosh.
Crap.
Oh, it's okay, ma'am.
I'm a cop.
Thank you, officer.
Excuse me, ma'am.

Damn it, where you at ? It's me, Damien.

You need to come get my ass.
Police ! Hands up ! Easy ! Easy ! I'm a cop.
I'm a cop ! Okay, all right.
Okay, I'm relaxed.
- I'm relaxed.
I'm relaxed.
- Detective brett hopper ? Yeah.
Get these guys off of me.
Can't.
You're under arrest for the murder of assistant D.
A.
Alberto garza.
- What ? - "You have the right to remain silent.
"If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can - Have a seat.
- Before y'all apologize for breaking down my door, I want to see the warrant.
'Cause you had to have more than some lame-ass anonymous tip to get a judge to sign off on that kind of a blitz.
Well, they told us you'd puff up.
I'm Detective Choi.
- Detective Spivak.
- I've had the pleasure.
Look, you know what we do in here, all the tactics, the back and forth, so I'm coming straight at you.
What did you have against Garza ? You gotta be kidding, right ? We've got the murder weapon with your prints on it.
All right, well, a gun's easy enough to plant.
Prints are doable, too, a little tougher.
Where'd you get it ? Where do you think we got it ? I don't know, but chances are, whoever gave you the gun is in on it.
Now tell me where you got it.
Your place.
Your closet.
The closet ? Pretty stupid move, man.
Why would you hang on to something like that ? Somebody broke into my place and put that gun there.
Now the neighbor said something about a plumber, - and my dog was going crazy, so- - Why'd you do it, Hopper ? Was it personal, or did Garza have something on you ? All right, you guys aren't According to the newspapers, Garza was hit sometime last night, right ? Well, I was with somebody last night.
Rita Shelton.
She's a nurse at Westside.
So I got an alibi.
Secondly, I've never even met Garza, so - you got no motive.
- How about murder-for-hire ? I want my lawyer and a phone.
After you're booked, like everyone else.
Look into the camera, please.
Thank you very much.
You can step away.
Andrea Hang on.
That's my partner.
- Hopper, what's goin'on ? - I don't know.
Your guess is as good as mine.
I've got to get to my brother ! They put me on leave.
So before you go telling certain people things - you think- - Andrea, hello ? Fingerprints, mug shot.
I'm a little busy right now.
Let's go, detective.
You are a lucky man, Hopper.
I got you one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state.
Barry Colburn.
He'll meet you at the courts'building for arraignment.
Come on, Baxter.
You gotta do better than that.
Now flex some federal muscle and get me outta here.
I'm doing the best I can.
Been on the phone all morning.
Nobody's giving an inch not the D.
A.
'S office, not L.
A.
P.
D.
I'm a cop with a clean record and an alibi.
- How is this happening ? - Hey, I know you're pissed.
But this hurts me, too.
Damien is on the run, and you're the only one he trusts.
This case hinges on his testimony.
Well, I'm sorry for being so insensitive.
Seriously, Hopper.
How am I supposed to find my star witness without you ? Did you see Damien last night ? Did you talk to him ? Give me something.
All right, he left a message on my machine.
He wants me to come get him.
Where is he ? What happened at the safe house ? Focus, Baxter.
I'm the one in jail.
Now I can't help you or Damien unless you get me outta here.
- Let's go.
- Why did you kill Garza ? Why did you kill Garza, detective Hopper ? Detective Hopper, this way ! Was it murder-for-hire ? Baxter tried to put in a good word for you with the L.
A.
County D.
A.
, - But Garza was one of theirs.
- All right, Colburn- - Barry.
- Where's Rita ? We can't find her.
What do you mean, you can't find her.
did you check the hospital ? She's not at the hospital, she's not in her apartment, she's not answering her cell.
The cops are looking for her, - and I've got my people out in the street.
- Colburn, your first and last priority as of right now Rita Shelton.
Do you understand me ? Okay.
Oh, by the way, pulled in a couple of favors and got you some time with your sister.
Jen, where is she ? I'll see you in there, Hopper.
Oh, my god.
- Are you okay ? - Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
I'm fine.
- They said they found a gun.
- No.
Well, they did.
- Someone else put it there.
- Who would put- I don't know.
It doesn't matter because I have an alibi.
Rita Shelton.
Wait, you and Rita, as in Chad's wife ? Well, ex-wife, but and you didn't tell me.
Well, Jen, we haven't been talking as much as we- never mind about that.
I wanna know about those six hang ups from last night.
And don't give me that mess about the phones.
- I told you it was nothing.
- Is everything ok between you and Randall ? - Of course.
- Jen, I - I'm gonna kill him.
- Who you killin'now ? Chad.
Jennifer.
You're lookin'well.
Come on, partner.
Time to face the music.
Boy, you know, cops will pull a lot of crazy stunts to weasel out of a meeting with internal affairs.
But committing a murder, that definitely wins a prize, huh, Hopper ? You have an ugly smile.
People say that about you, especially women.
We'll meet you up on four, guys.
I need a little quality time with my old partner here.
I said we'll you up on four.
Come on.
You get the score of the dodger game ? I know Andrea is a dirty cop.
You're gonna help me prove it.
Yeah, I got a few other things on my mind right now besides what my partner may or may not be into.
Yeah, this whole "murdering the assistant D.
A.
" thing.
- it's a real shame, isn't it ? - You know this thing screams setup from - from, like a mile away.
- Setup ? No, they got you cold, man.
Weapon, prints but you got an alibi, right ? Rita ? Been spending a lot of time with her lately.
When you gonna make an honest woman of her, get married already ? Tell the truth.
It bugs you she kept my last name, doesn't it ? You need a breath mint.
Here's what I don't understand.
You don't want to break some unspoken code by turning in your partner, yet you got no problem sleeping with - another man's wife ? - You were divorced, and we weren't partners anymore.
You expect me to believe those years we rolled together, - you never- - It never happened, Chad.
Never.
How is she these days, my little Rita ? It's been a while, but there's certain things you just never forget.
You know, like in the shower.
you better watch it, convict.
You play this right, I can help you.
But you screw with me Shelton.
Why do I get the feeling you know more than you're telling ? Because I do.
And due to the severity of the crime and the physical evidence against the suspect, the county requests no bail.
- We ask- - Your honor, the District Attorney's office has been made aware of an exculpatory witness - who can attest my client's whereabouts- - a witness that we can't locate at this time your honor.
We consider the suspect to be a danger - and a flight risk, and we ask- - flight risk ? He's a decorated 12-year veteran of the department.
Veteran or not, the people are pursuing a charge of first-degree murder.
Very well.
People's request is granted.
Suspect will be held without bail and remanded to county jail.
Preliminary hearing is set for a week from today, whether or not this witness has been produced.
Dismissed.
Find Rita.
these series in the books.
A single here, a double there, and the Dodgers pull off an amazing 7- run rally in the 9th to beat the Giants 11-10.
Folks, it just doesn't get any better than this.
What is this ? Where am I ? Chad, is that you ? Is this how internal affairs is running things now ? Now that's enough questions, detective Hopper.
You're going to admit to killing Alberto Garza.
What ? Garza, the assistant D.
A.
You're going to confess.
I'm not gonna do a damn thing.
Who the hell are you people ? you know, you really need to get over this tough guy persona.
It's not going to help you here.
Show him.
You know firsthand how dangerous this city can be.
Anything can happen to anyone.
- Rita.
- Random acts of assault and battery, rape carjacking.
I'm gonna kill you ! I'm gonna kill you ! - I will kill you ! - Calm down.
There's more.
No.
Don't worry.
Your sister and the kids are okay.
I swear to God, I will find you.
Well, whatever you do is your choice, detective, but just remember, for every decision - I'm gonna kill you.
- There's a consequence.
Relax.
Just a mild sedative.
We'd like you to unwind.
Sleep on it.
Remember decision consequence.
Decision consequence.
decision consequence.
What was that for ? I had the worst nightmare.
It was so real.
Are you okay ? Yeah.
Yeah.
I just I feel a little sore.
Brett, what's wrong ? You ever have a déjà vu ? Yeah.
Gives me the creeps when that happens.

Don't go to school.
- Call me at the second where you got it.

In your closet.

Why would you hang on to something like that ? My name ? Detective Spivak.

Rita Shelton.
Where is she ? - I'm sorry, sir, you need to wait.

- She's not here now.
What do you mean she's not here ? Her shift started at 8 :00.
She called in and said she was taking a vacation day.
A vacation day ? She never said anything to me about- Out of the way.
Massive trauma to her head, internal bleeding, multiple fractures.

From the assignment last night, who can tell me what country Jules Verne was referring to ? Brett, what are you doing here ? - Security to first floor west.
- I can't find Rita.
She's missing, so they're probably watching you.
Rita ? Rita who ? Never mind.
You're in danger.
I need you to get the kids, get in a car and just drive.
Don't tell me where you're going.
- Don't tell Randall.
But it's gotta be now.
- What is wrong with you ? - You're acting really crazy.
- There isn't any time ! - What is this about, brett ? - Just do what I say and go far away from here.
What did you do ? - Just go.
Go.
- Go get the kids.
What if I pull the wrong block ? Then we start the game over, all right ? Hopper ? Andrea.
Thanks for coming.
Didn't think you'd call, considering the circumstances.
Well, believe me, I didn't have anyone else to turn.
Good to know you think so highly of me.
I didn't mean it like that.
Listen, I need you to do me a favor in case I get caught again.
Again ? What do you mean ? Never mind.
I need your help.
I can't find Rita, and I think that she may be in danger.
Now look, I know that you got your own troubles to deal with right now, - butI didn't say anything to I.
A.
about what- - let's just stick to your problem, okay ? Tell me what happened with Garza.
Garza ? Why would you ask me I'm sorry.
Move ! Get out of my way ! Get out of my way ! Move ! Move ! Move ! I got him.
We got him.
Suspect's on the Westbound train.
Cover all exits.
Doors closing.
Doors closing.
Doors closing.
Great minds, huh ? Might as well tattoo the word "guilty" right across your forehead.
I know I'm clean.
Y'all ain't got nothing.
How about the murder weapon ? I don't know what you talking about.
Really ? So you're saying the dive teams won't find anything off the Santa Monica pier ? in the water.
oh, I think we hit a nerve.
Who's feeding you this crap ? - Who's your source ? - You're not asking the questions, Hopper.
We are.
Now why did you kill Garza ? You wanted the phone.
- Message seven.
- Damn it, where you at ? It's me, Damien.
Turn on your cell phone ! They hit the safe house, Hop.
You need to come get my ass ! Look, I'll be layin'low where you first got it all started, you know what I'm saying ? Meet me there at 9 :00 tomorrow night.
Ah, that's tonight.
- Message eight.
- All right, time's up.
Hopper, you should have received a package today.
- Let's go.
- It's important.
Don't let anyone- Bad engouh you're in here for murder.
You had to kick the crap out of your brother-in-law, too ? It felt necessary and good.
Well, that's great.
Anyway, I spoke to your sister.
And she's trying to get him to drop the charges, - but he's pretty pissed off.
- Wait, she's still with him ? Yeah, at the hospital.
They're still picking the glass out of his back.
Okay, listen, Colburn Barry, I need you to do me a favor and get my sister and her kids someplace safe.
- Why ? - Please don't ask me questions.
Just do it.
- What about you ? - Don't worry about me.
- I'll get out of here soon enough.
- Yeah, that's what they all say.
Stinkin'dodgers, down six runs going into the ninth.
I had to turn it off.
Meet you up on four, guys.
I need a little quality time with my old partner here.
Don't worry, fellas.
I'll be gentle.
You want to know a secret, Chad ? The dodgers rally in the ninth.
They win.
Where is Rita ? You are itching for a toe tag, aren't ya ? Who is behind this, huh ?! - Who's watching ? Where's Rita ? - You are certifiable.
I'll make sure you end up on death row.
You believe in second chances, Andrea ? You cut a deal with I.
A.
to bring me in, yes or no ? I'm not proud of it, okay.
But I.
A.
Is convinced I'm taking a payoff from- - Are you ? - No ! You shouldn't keep that thing under your mattress.
I found it in 30 seconds.
What are you doing in my home, Hopper ? I need to know if I can trust you if we're still partners.
Partners ? You've been giving your partner the cold shoulder the last six months.
Now you're wanted for murder, and you're telling me Rita's missing.
- What the hell is going on with you ? - I don't know.
I'm I'm just trying to get control of this day.
This day is over.
You gotta worry about tomorrow.
This mess you're in have anything to do with the fact you've been looking into the latin disciples ? - Where did you hear that ? - Don't worry.
I haven't told anyone.
I'm working this case for the U.
S.
Attorney's office.
It's strictly confidential.
We flipped this kid, Damien Ortiz, against the disciples.
- Trial's tomorrow.
Now he's on the run.
- If they're after this kid, - they're gonna get to him.
- Hopefully not before I do.
Think the disciples have something to do - with Rita going missing ? - That's what I'm gonna find out.
I need you to search her place for me, check for signs of a struggle, - run a trace on- - cell pho, yeah.
Done this before.
Does that mean you're gonna help me ? You're gonna need this.
Thanks.
Where you headed ? I'm going clubbing.
Hey.
I'm Damien's 9 :00.
Come on through.
Arms out to your side.
Turn around.
What do you got here ? Nice.
Easy ! Oh, no.
Listen, wait, wait, wait.
You don't wanna do this, okay ? Get Damien, and we can discuss this like men.
Stop, stop ! you think that first step's a bitch ? Wait till the next one.
Turned me against my own only so you could sell my ass out ? I didn't sell you out.
- Tell me what happened.
- You know what happened.
Your safe house was a death trap.
Why would I be here helping you while I'm on the run for murder ? - Murder ? - Yeah.
- Hey, yo, who you playin'? - Hey, hey, don't you watch the news ? I'm wanted for killing an assistant D.
A.
You gotta tell me exactly what happened, D.
, All right ? 'Cause only a handful of people knew where we were hiding you.
Yeah, well, somebody said something, eh ? 'Cause them feds that's supposed to be looking out for me, protecting my ass, are long gone.
I wake up, don't hear nobody in the house.
Check the window ? All the cars are gone.
See some skinheaded fools coming my way - strapped.
- Wait, skinheads ? - Not disciples ? - Nah, some good ol'hog-ridin'boys.
Look, I ain't no fool, Hop.
I figure the L.
D.
's farmed it out, make it look like some other crew.
All right, did any of these disciples say anything about Garza - or me ? - You ? Nah, this is bigger than you or some D.
A.
, Man.
- I need names, Damien.
- You're crazy.
Our deal's off, Hop.
You on your own.
Just give me one name, D.
Forget about feds, forget about Baxter, all right ? I will personally find you protection myself.
- Nah, man.
I don't think so.
- You're making a mistake.
Just give me a- you people know you just blew away a federal witness ? Or is that part of the plan ? Forget the kid.
We have business to discuss, detective Hopper.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know what you're capable of.
I know you can get at Rita and my sister and her kids.
But if you want me to take the fall for Garza, you better not touch them.
You understand me ? How did you know this was about Garza ? You're the one behind the curtain.
You tell me.
I need to know how you came to this information.
What are you talking about ? You told me last time I was here.
You think this is a game ? Oh, no.
Okay, listen, listen, I'll do whatever you tell me.
Just don't hurt them ! A little late for that.
No ! No ! - For every decision - No.
There's a consequence.
Why ?! Tell me why this is happening ! Relax.
Just a mild sedative.
We'd like you to unwind Sleep on it.
But remember, decision consequence.

Well, I'm sorry for being so insensitive.
Seriously, Hopper.
How am I supposed to find my star witness without you ? Did you see Damien last night ? Did you talk to him ? Give me something.
All right, he left a message on my machine.
He wants me to come get him.
Where is he ? What happened at the safe house ? Focus, Baxter.
I'm the one in jail.
Now I can't help you or Damien unless you get me outta here.
- Let's go.
- Why did you kill Garza ? Why did you kill Garza, detective Hopper ? Detective Hopper, this way ! Was it murder-for-hire ? Baxter tried to put in a good word for you with the L.
A.
County D.
A.
, - But Garza was one of theirs.
- All right, Colburn- - Barry.
- Where's Rita ? We can't find her.
What do you mean, you can't find her.
did you check the hospital ? She's not at the hospital, she's not in her apartment, she's not answering her cell.
The cops are looking for her, - and I've got my people out in the street.
- Colburn, your first and last priority as of right now Rita Shelton.
Do you understand me ? Okay.
Oh, by the way, pulled in a couple of favors and got you some time with your sister.
Jen, where is she ? I'll see you in there, Hopper.
Oh, my god.
- Are you okay ? - Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
I'm fine.
- They said they found a gun.
- No.
Well, they did.
- Someone else put it there.
- Who would put- I don't know.
It doesn't matter because I have an alibi.
Rita Shelton.
Wait, you and Rita, as in Chad's wife ? Well, ex-wife, but and you didn't tell me.
Well, Jen, we haven't been talking as much as we- never mind about that.
I wanna know about those six hang ups from last night.
And don't give me that mess about the phones.
- I told you it was nothing.
- Is everything ok between you and Randall ? - Of course.
- Jen, I - I'm gonna kill him.
- Who you killin'now ? Chad.
Jennifer.
You're lookin'well.
Come on, partner.
Time to face the music.
Boy, you know, cops will pull a lot of crazy stunts to weasel out of a meeting with internal affairs.
But committing a murder, that definitely wins a prize, huh, Hopper ? You have an ugly smile.
People say that about you, especially women.
We'll meet you up on four, guys.
I need a little quality time with my old partner here.
I said we'll you up on four.
Come on.
You get the score of the dodger game ? I know Andrea is a dirty cop.
You're gonna help me prove it.
Yeah, I got a few other things on my mind right now besides what my partner may or may not be into.
Yeah, this whole "murdering the assistant D.
A.
" thing.
- it's a real shame, isn't it ? - You know this thing screams setup from - from, like a mile away.
- Setup ? No, they got you cold, man.
Weapon, prints but you got an alibi, right ? Rita ? Been spending a lot of time with her lately.
When you gonna make an honest woman of her, get married already ? Tell the truth.
It bugs you she kept my last name, doesn't it ? You need a breath mint.
Here's what I don't understand.
You don't want to break some unspoken code by turning in your partner, yet you got no problem sleeping with - another man's wife ? - You were divorced, and we weren't partners anymore.
You expect me to believe those years we rolled together, - you never- - It never happened, Chad.
Never.
How is she these days, my little Rita ? It's been a while, but there's certain things you just never forget.
You know, like in the shower.
you better watch it, convict.
You play this right, I can help you.
But you screw with me Shelton.
Why do I get the feeling you know more than you're telling ? Because I do.
And due to the severity of the crime and the physical evidence against the suspect, the county requests no bail.
- We ask- - Your honor, the District Attorney's office has been made aware of an exculpatory witness - who can attest my client's whereabouts- - a witness that we can't locate at this time your honor.
We consider the suspect to be a danger - and a flight risk, and we ask- - flight risk ? He's a decorated 12-year veteran of the department.
Veteran or not, the people are pursuing a charge of first-degree murder.
Very well.
People's request is granted.
Suspect will be held without bail and remanded to county jail.

Dismissed.
Find Rita.

A single here, a double there, and the Dodgers pull off an amazing 7- run rally in the 9th to beat the Giants 11-10.
Folks, it just doesn't get any better than this.
What is this ? Where am I ? Chad, is that you ? Is this how internal affairs is running things now ? Now that's enough questions, detective Hopper.
You're going to admit to killing Alberto Garza.
What ? Garza, the assistant D.
A.
You're going to confess.
I'm not gonna do a damn thing.
Who the hell are you people ? you know, you really need to get over this tough guy persona.
It's not going to help you here.
Show him.
You know firsthand how dangerous this city can be.
Anything can happen to anyone.
- Rita.
- Random acts of assault and battery, rape carjacking.
I'm gonna kill you ! I'm gonna kill you ! - I will kill you ! - Calm down.
There's more.
No.
Don't worry.
Your sister and the kids are okay.
I swear to God, I will find you.
Well, whatever you do is your choice, detective, but just remember, for every decision - I'm gonna kill you.

Just a mild sedative.
We'd like you to unwind.
Sleep on it.

In your closet.

Rita Shelton.
Where is she ? - I'm sorry, sir, you need to wait.

- She's not here now.
What do you mean she's not here ? Her shift started at 8 :00.

From the assignment last night, who can tell me what country Jules Verne was referring to ? Brett, what are you doing here ? - Security to first floor west.
- I can't find Rita.
She's missing, so they're probably watching you.
Rita ? Rita who ? Never mind.
You're in danger.
I need you to get the kids, get in a car and just drive.
Don't tell me where you're going.
- Don't tell Randall.
But it's gotta be now.
- What is wrong with you ? - You're acting really crazy.
- There isn't any time ! - What is this about, brett ? - Just do what I say and go far away from here.
What did you do ? - Just go.
Go.
- Go get the kids.
What if I pull the wrong block ? Then we start the game over, all right ? Hopper ? Andrea.
Thanks for coming.
Didn't think you'd call, considering the circumstances.
Well, believe me, I didn't have anyone else to turn.
Good to know you think so highly of me.
I didn't mean it like that.
Listen, I need you to do me a favor in case I get caught again.
Again ? What do you mean ? Never mind.
I need your help.
I can't find Rita, and I think that she may be in danger.
Now look, I know that you got your own troubles to deal with right now, - butI didn't say anything to I.
A.
about what- - let's just stick to your problem, okay ? Tell me what happened with Garza.
Garza ? Why would you ask me I'm sorry.
Move ! Get out of my way ! Get out of my way ! Move ! Move ! Move ! I got him.
We got him.
Suspect's on the Westbound train.
Cover all exits.
Doors closing.
Doors closing.
Doors closing.
Great minds, huh ? Might as well tattoo the word "guilty" right across your forehead.
I know I'm clean.
Y'all ain't got nothing.
How about the murder weapon ? I don't know what you talking about.
Really ? So you're saying the dive teams won't find anything off the Santa Monica pier ? in the water.
oh, I think we hit a nerve.
Who's feeding you this crap ? - Who's your source ? - You're not asking the questions, Hopper.
We are.
Now why did you kill Garza ? You wanted the phone.
- Message seven.
- Damn it, where you at ? It's me, Damien.
Turn on your cell phone ! They hit the safe house, Hop.
You need to come get my ass ! Look, I'll be layin'low where you first got it all started, you know what I'm saying ? Meet me there at 9 :00 tomorrow night.
Ah, that's tonight.
- Message eight.
- All right, time's up.
Hopper, you should have received a package today.
- Let's go.
- It's important.
Don't let anyone- Bad engouh you're in here for murder.
You had to kick the crap out of your brother-in-law, too ? It felt necessary and good.
Well, that's great.
Anyway, I spoke to your sister.
And she's trying to get him to drop the charges, - but he's pretty pissed off.
- Wait, she's still with him ? Yeah, at the hospital.
They're still picking the glass out of his back.
Okay, listen, Colburn Barry, I need you to do me a favor and get my sister and her kids someplace safe.
- Why ? - Please don't ask me questions.
Just do it.
- What about you ? - Don't worry about me.
- I'll get out of here soon enough.
- Yeah, that's what they all say.
Stinkin'dodgers, down six runs going into the ninth.
I had to turn it off.
Meet you up on four, guys.
I need a little quality time with my old partner here.
Don't worry, fellas.
I'll be gentle.
You want to know a secret, Chad ? The dodgers rally in the ninth.
They win.
Where is Rita ? You are itching for a toe tag, aren't ya ? Who is behind this, huh ?! - Who's watching ? Where's Rita ? - You are certifiable.
I'll make sure you end up on death row.
You believe in second chances, Andrea ? You cut a deal with I.
A.
to bring me in, yes or no ? I'm not proud of it, okay.
But I.
A.
Is convinced I'm taking a payoff from- - Are you ? - No ! You shouldn't keep that thing under your mattress.
I found it in 30 seconds.
What are you doing in my home, Hopper ? I need to know if I can trust you if we're still partners.
Partners ? You've been giving your partner the cold shoulder the last six months.
Now you're wanted for murder, and you're telling me Rita's missing.
- What the hell is going on with you ? - I don't know.
I'm I'm just trying to get control of this day.
This day is over.
You gotta worry about tomorrow.
This mess you're in have anything to do with the fact you've been looking into the latin disciples ? - Where did you hear that ? - Don't worry.
I haven't told anyone.
I'm working this case for the U.
S.
Attorney's office.
It's strictly confidential.
We flipped this kid, Damien Ortiz, against the disciples.
- Trial's tomorrow.
Now he's on the run.
- If they're after this kid, - they're gonna get to him.
- Hopefully not before I do.
Think the disciples have something to do - with Rita going missing ? - That's what I'm gonna find out.
I need you to search her place for me, check for signs of a struggle, - run a trace on- - cell pho, yeah.
Done this before.
Does that mean you're gonna help me ? You're gonna need this.
Thanks.
Where you headed ? I'm going clubbing.
Hey.
I'm Damien's 9 :00.
Come on through.
Arms out to your side.
Turn around.
What do you got here ? Nice.
Easy ! Oh, no.
Listen, wait, wait, wait.
You don't wanna do this, okay ? Get Damien, and we can discuss this like men.
Stop, stop ! you think that first step's a bitch ? Wait till the next one.
Turned me against my own only so you could sell my ass out ? I didn't sell you out.
- Tell me what happened.
- You know what happened.
Your safe house was a death trap.
Why would I be here helping you while I'm on the run for murder ? - Murder ? - Yeah.
- Hey, yo, who you playin'? - Hey, hey, don't you watch the news ? I'm wanted for killing an assistant D.
A.
You gotta tell me exactly what happened, D.
, All right ? 'Cause only a handful of people knew where we were hiding you.
Yeah, well, somebody said something, eh ? 'Cause them feds that's supposed to be looking out for me, protecting my ass, are long gone.
I wake up, don't hear nobody in the house.
Check the window ? All the cars are gone.
See some skinheaded fools coming my way - strapped.
- Wait, skinheads ? - Not disciples ? - Nah, some good ol'hog-ridin'boys.
Look, I ain't no fool, Hop.
I figure the L.
D.
's farmed it out, make it look like some other crew.
All right, did any of these disciples say anything about Garza - or me ? - You ? Nah, this is bigger than you or some D.
A.
, Man.
- I need names, Damien.
- You're crazy.
Our deal's off, Hop.
You on your own.
Just give me one name, D.
Forget about feds, forget about Baxter, all right ? I will personally find you protection myself.
- Nah, man.
I don't think so.
- You're making a mistake.
Just give me a- you people know you just blew away a federal witness ? Or is that part of the plan ? Forget the kid.
We have business to discuss, detective Hopper.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know what you're capable of.
I know you can get at Rita and my sister and her kids.
But if you want me to take the fall for Garza, you better not touch them.
You understand me ? How did you know this was about Garza ? You're the one behind the curtain.
You tell me.
I need to know how you came to this information.
What are you talking about ? You told me last time I was here.
You think this is a game ? Oh, no.
Okay, listen, listen, I'll do whatever you tell me.
Just don't hurt them ! A little late for that.
No ! No ! - For every decision - No.
There's a consequence.
Why ?! Tell me why this is happening ! Relax.
Just a mild sedative.
We'd like you to unwind Sleep on it.
But remember, decision consequence.
decision consequence.
decision consequence.
