Day Break s01e10 Episode Script
What If He's Free
My name is detective Brett Hopper, and this is the day that changes everything.
Put your hands up! You're under arrest for the murder of assistant D.
A.
Alberto Garza.
I will be framed for murder.
Who the hell are you people? My girlfriend Rita will be in danger.
I know all this, because I am living the same day over and over again.
The day is the same but different things happen.
Everyday I get an another chance.
For every decision, there's a consequence.
I discovered an alliance between a city councilman and street gangs.
A skinhead alliance with the Latin Disciples.
An alliance that led to Garza's murder.
All brokered by councilman Booth and his little lap dog.
Turns out that Garza tried to send me a fax the night he died.
Miguel Dominguez? What would Garza send this to you? He's been in Pelican Bay since 89.
There's no way he could've killed anyone in 91, let alone Garza.
So, somehow, I've got to catch Dominguez and find the answers that would clear my name.
Flying to San Francisco.
Very romantic.
San Francisco you alone First off, it's not even San Francisco.
It's Pelican Bay.
It's all the way out of Nowhere Ville and believe me, the last thing it is, is romantic.
Do you know what a Supermax is? Sure, some big grocery store where you buy things in bulk.
Hello! I was married to a cop.
Supermax is like a fortress of solitude to violent offenders.
You're right, well, I gotta go see this guy there, Miguel Dominguez.
He's serving five consecutive life sentences for murder.
Why do you have to go? Miguel Dominguez Why would Garza send this to you? This guy wants me to go see him.
He's a key to this murder case I'm working on.
That's yours? That's okay, I got it.
Hey.
You know, can I give you a call back? Who's that? It's just work.
So, what time do you want me to pick you up in the morning? I got that covered.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I mean, if today is like the passed few, by the time you wake up, I'll be back.
- Excuse me - What? I'm hearing a sort of horrible clang.
I think we should tell the captain and turn back.
Was this different from the clang you heard just a couple of minutes ago? This one sounds even more dangerous.
I fly five days a week all over the world.
Airplanes are safer than cars.
This is a silver gleaming death machine.
It's nice talking to you, sir.
So do you really travel that much? San Francisco, Seattle, Japan.
Back to France next week.
I've been to Paris twelve times.
Sounds fun.
Of course, I've only seen the Eiffel tower from my hotel window.
I keep saying I'm gonna go but, you know how it is, every time it's the same thing.
Tell me about it.
Got to celebrate my birthday twice though.
'Cause of the international day line.
I'm on way back from Sydney.
Today what day is it in Australia? Well, see, seventeen hours ahead, so that would make it Tomorrow.
Yeah, I guess it would.
I wish I could get there.
- Where? Tomorrow? - Yeah.
Seems like today is going pretty well.
You gotta live for the moment, right? Yeah.
Yeah, it's what my girlfriend keeps telling me.
Lucky girl.
Excuse me, does he even know that I'm here? You don't have an appointment, Detective.
You'll have to wait.
Yes ma'am, I've been waiting for three hours.
Detective Shelten, is it? Yes, Chad Shelten.
Come on.
You understand that I can't just stop my day because you drop in.
I appreciate you seeing me, I won't take you up much of your time.
I need to speak with one of your prisoners, Miguel Dominguez.
I'm afraid I can't accommodate that, Detective.
An assistant D.
A.
was murdered last night in Los Angeles.
Dominguez may have some information on the killer.
A man who spent the last 17 years in prison would have information on a murder that happened last night? I realize how that may sound I'm afraid you come at a bad time, Detective.
Dominguez shanked a guard a few days ago.
That's his third incident this year and we put him in solitary confinement.
No visitors.
No exceptions.
I really need to speak with him.
I'm sorry.
- Five minutes.
- Detective.
You've come a long way for nothing.
Yes.
Bob Nedgo, I have Mr.
Detweiler returning.
For every decision, there's a consequence.
Good luck with your case, Detective.
See you soon.
Everything is gonna be fine.
Nothing's gonna happen to this plane.
How do you know? Because my day is repeating.
I was here yesterday and this plane doesn't crash.
I watch TV.
Planes crash all the time.
So, if your day is repeating What do you know about me? I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long.
Detective Shelten, is it? Yeah.
And Detweiler sent you? If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your association with him? We share a common interest.
And he sent you here for me? Relax, he just wants to know what happened with the guard that Dominguez shanked.
That's being handled.
I sort of promised I'd talk to him.
See what went down.
You want to talk to Dominguez? Detweiler wants to know the whole story.
Get the hell out of my office.
He's not gonna be too pleased with you filling me out like this.
Who? Detweiler? Detweiler didn't send you here.
Mr.
Parrison, get a guard in here to escort this gentleman off the facility.
Hey man, why don't you take this? It'll help you relax.
Thanks.
Mister Pusherman.
But I'll just say no.
I'm a police officer.
Narcotics Unit.
This is a prescription med, it helps relieve anxiety.
You're gonna take this, and you're gonna stop moaning about how unsafe you think the plane is.
You're scaring the others passengers.
Take it.
Okay, thank you.
And, the next time you're in Paris, you should visit the Eiffel tower.
Don't wait.
So, Detweiler sent you? Told me to get up here as soon as I could.
You don't mind me asking what what exactly is your association with him? Fencik and Buchatler were busy.
Listen, I'm not here to bust your hump.
Detweiler is just a little concerned about this Dominguez situation.
Well, I already spoke to him about it.
Come on, you know how he gets.
Always telling everybody how serious he is.
I told him we shouldnt put Dominguez in Gen Pop.
Now he's upset that there is a price to pay.
Well, he's a tough guy to work for.
Don't I know it I've spent 12 years under that man since the time when he was a warden.
I swear to God, if I never hear those two words again Decision Consequence.
So, what do you need from me? You've got five minutes.
Where the hell are you? Some wrong with the food? Another guy in a tub.
I staked that place out for a week.
- Never once was that guy - So you did what you have to do.
Yeah, well, feels Unprofessional.
Unprofessional is yapping about it all morning.
There bigger problem than some guy flowed in his tub.
- What? The GPS thing? - Yeah, the GPS thing.
How we're gonna find Hopper without it? Call some favors.
OK, think your guys can help us out? We're cruising brown town looking for that gang banger from the safe house.
Great.
This job is a lot easier now.
All we've to do is take out the trash.
Slow down, you're gonna choke.
When is the last time you ate? Couldn't say.
Did you bring the Dominguez file? OK, I'll buy it.
Why are you looking at a guy who's been in lock-up for 17 years? I think he killed Garza.
Hopper, the only thing this guy is killing is time.
They call him "El Llorón".
The Crying Man.
They say he's a ghost.
He can walk the walls, he sees everything, hears everything.
Even though he's in locked up, people fear him like he's the Boogie Man.
What's he in for? Killed his whole family.
Both parents, kid sister.
They found him covered in blood, at the breakfast table, just sitting, eating his cereal.
OK, he's a psychopath.
But this guy's on ice in Pelican Bay.
Even ghost don't get over there.
That's what I thought, but the magic trick isn't walking through walls.
He's left to the back door.
You're telling me somebody let this guy out of prison? Yeah.
I've a CI, Damien Ortiz, he's about to testify about contract killings within the Latin Disciples.
Now I think that LDs are using Dominguez to do all the dirty work.
But why go through all of this trouble? The streets are full of bangers who whack their best friends for a c-note or an 8-ball.
It's the perfect alibi.
If he's behind bars, there's no way he could possibly pull the trigger.
OK, suppose it's true.
How you're gonna prove it? OK, what do you need? I need you to look into unsolved homicides over the passed 17 years.
one shot to the head, two to the body.
Execution style.
Same way Garza went down.
Go see Detective Choi at Robbery/Homicide.
He'll listen.
See if Dominguez left prints at any of the crime scenes.
But if this Dominguez guy is as good as you say he's, you think he'd be careless enough to leave a print? Yeah, he did it before.
He killed this girl named Isabelle Contreras.
He left one there.
Of course, he could just be taunting the police, telling us he can't be caught.
But you're gonna try anyway? Yeah, I'm being framed for a murder he committed.
I gotta to find him.
You said it, this guy's a ghost.
How you're gonna do that? By getting my informer to inform.
You pull me out of my niece's birthday for this? I'll ask them to save you a piece of birthday cake.
No, man.
I'm not doing this.
We're through, Hop! I know that the LDs are into murder for hire.
I also know that's why Baxter and the feds want you to testify.
- How the hell you know that? - You were gonna give my name? Louis Torrez.
He's the one who's running all the hits.
This bastard thinks he can pull on our faces, he's soon no smaller than a gang banger? He's sailing his own disciples down the river.
- You want him? - He's protected, Hop! - He's connected - To a councilman named Tobias Booth.
Yeah, I know.
He's going down too.
Look at you, Detective Hopper with the 411.
Alright.
I'm listening.
You can get Torrez after I get what I need from him.
Oh yeah! What's that? El Llorón.
Use the front.
- What? - He's the LDs secret weapon.
Torrez is the dispatcher.
Someone orders a hit, Torrez makes the call, El Llorón pulls out, he's got a "out of the jail" free card.
You didn't know that, did you? Not about El Llorón.
- I'd stay clear - I gotta have him.
The Crying Man.
If this whole thing goes down the way I think, we could pull them all away.
Torrez, Booth, even El Llorón.
- So they do a couple of years? - No, we pull them away for good.
Call the feds, whoever we need.
That's gonna leave a lot more room at the top of the LD food chain.
New for an entrepreneur.
A young man with vision.
I know a guy like that.
Let me introduce one of the greatest success stories of our anti gang initiative.
Louis Torrez joined the Latin Disciples at the age of 14.
Today, Louis is the key contributor to this community, a member of Oh, yeah! Vato! You think anyone believes that crap about you leaving that life behind? How would you believe what I say? I don't buy it either.
Andrea Battle.
I'm looking for Detective Choi.
Battle? Hopper's partner? Spivak, I'm in charge of the Garza murder.
Anything you have to say to Choi, you say to me.
I need to look through your files on cold case murders.
Anything that went down execution style in the last 17 years.
Execution style, that's good.
What? I admire what you do to help your partner, but you might have just deep-sixed him.
Really? How's that? Garza was killed execution style, but we didn't release that information.
Other than detectives of the scene, the only other person that knew that little detail is the killer.
See, that's the problem.
'Cause I happen to know Brett Hopper didn't kill anyone.
Great.
Have him come in and tell someone about it.
You play ball.
I let you pull all the cases you want.
I have a better idea.
I pull the cases that I want, you play ball with yourself.
Easy! What we're gonna to do is real simple.
You tell me where El Llorón is, you walk away.
You don't, I walk away, and I leave you with Damien.
- I don't know what you talking about.
- Stop it! I know he escaped from prison, I know he killed Garza, and I know you know where the hell he is.
You're mistaken.
I work for councilman Booth! At least the Latin Disciples had more respect for who they are.
I left that life behind.
You can lie, ese, but you ain't done Let me just talked to him! Vamo! I got this.
Easy, easy.
Son of a bitch.
You're gonna have to get that little tattoo removed? You're gonna rip him off or make him talk? Shut up! I'm still a cop.
Yeah, shut up! What is this? Whose address is this? That? That's muy importante.
That's where I hook up with Damien's mother.
Come on! - Come on.
- Come on! Vamo! - You know what they call you? - Think I give a damn? - You wanna me say why we call you LD? - What? - What? - La Dama! The woman! I'm cool, Hop.
- I'm cool, right? - Right? - I'm good.
- Yeah, run away! You think it's Who the hell's gonna know, cabrón? Who's running? We are.
Wait! You gotta tell me about Dominguez.
El Llorón He's not the What? Torrez! What the hell did you do? Watch it, Hop! Watch it! You did it again! - I knew I couldn't trust you.
- What the hell are you talking about? You say I wouldn't play bad cop for you? I came here to get my note! Got it? You got a problem with that? You could lay down right next to that bitch! What are you doing? What do you think? You think I'm gonna stay here? I'm getting the hell out of here, Hop.
You should too.
Spivak! Detective Battle? You found me a happy end? No, but I found these.
Two cold case hits match and the same MO as Garza: One to the head, two to the chest.
And both crime scenes had errant prints belonging to one guy.
Miguel Dominguez, who's that? Garza's killer.
Hold on, this guy was in prison when the murder was committed.
Listen.
I know what I'm suggesting might sound a little - Insane? - Implausible.
It's Dominguez.
We just need to find an errant print from the Garza scene.
Oh, we've got an errant print On the gun.
It belongs to Hopper.
I don't know your partner, but He's our guy.
I wanna recheck the gun.
- You're reaching, Battle.
- Then let me reach! It's how we found Hoffa right? Beneath the gold post at the metal ends.
I need to see the gun from the Garza murder.
You're the IO? - Not but I - I am.
Do what she wants.
Ok, just give me a second.
We don't have the gun.
What do you mean? It's been checked out.
Checked out by who? Detective Spyvak.
I'm Spyvak! - Yeah.
- I'm Detective Brett Hopper.
I'm conducting a police investigation.
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
My cousin has one of those and he ain't a real cop.
Show me something else.
- What do you want, Brett Hopper? - May I come in? Miss Zapanta, you live here by yourself? Alma.
Yeah, just me.
Do you know a man named Louis Torrez? Tobias Booth? Doesn't sound like my flavor.
What about Miguel Dominguez? I don't know, I don't think so.
You don't know or you just don't remember.
Men in my life come and go, I don't know who's got a name.
What is this really about? I found your address in a man's wallet.
Louis Torrez.
I think you may be in danger.
Maybe he just wanted to buy a painting.
Well, I have reason believe he is a dispatcher for a contract killer.
He had your address.
- You could be his next target.
- Why would anybody wanna kill me? Excuse me.
- Andrea, what did you get? - You were right.
I've found Dominguez's prints on two other crime scenes.
But not at Garza's.
- What? Did you recheck the gun? - I tried: only one problem.
- It's gone.
- What do you mean "gone"? Chain of evidence says Spyvak signed out.
But I was with him, I'm telling you he had no idea.
Alright, it means I gotta go back tomorrow and get the gun.
What are you talking about? Thanks.
I gotta stop doing that.
Miss Zapanta, is there anyone that you think would wanna harm you? Yeah.
But they're dead.
What do you mean? I can take care of myself, detective.
Why don't you find someone else to save? Hey, it's me.
Thank God.
I've been so worried.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry I haven't had time to call you today.
I just want to make sure you're okay.
- make sure you were safe.
- I'm fine why wouldn't I be? I know you've been hearing a lot of crazy things about me today You need to know, I'm trying to clear my name.
What's going on? Where are you? I'm waiting for this guy, Miguel Dominguez.
Sorry I can't tell you more.
Are you with Chad? Yeah.
How did you know? It doesn't matter, just stay with him tonight, OK? Okay.
I see you tomorrow.
Alright baby? I promise, I see you tomorrow.
Hopper? - Yeah.
- What did he say? That I should stay here with you.
Really? You've got a hell of a tasted man.
Where do you keep the blankets? Hall closet.
Everything okay? Yeah, one of my bulbs burned out.
Where do you keep spares? In the kitchen.
Hey! Morning.
You're in a good mood, this morning.
There's this murder case I've been trying to close off.
Trying to put behind me and - They got finally got a handle on it.
- Really? Yeah, Andrea came up with some evidence that kinda support this theory I got going on, so That's great news.
I still have to catch the guy, but - We should celebrate.
- OK.
Tonight.
- Unless you wanna - Unless I wanna what? Unless I wanna what? No, I gotta go to the house and see what's up to Rambis, I gotta get this gun, maybe get it print in.
I got this stuff too I'm rather busy.
Zapanta.
Z-A-P-A-N-T-A.
First name: Alma.
- Got that? - Yeah.
- What's so important about this girl? - She may be the target of a contract killing.
Anything you can find will be helpful.
I'll look into it.
Did you get the gun yet? I'm on the way to my apartment right now.
Had to help Rita with some stuff.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days? I've got IA at 11a.
m.
Don't let your stuff make me late.
Hey, buddy.
What's up? Want some treats? Let's go! Hey, Mr.
Hopper! Your apartment has a leak.
I know, I was just coming up to investigate.
No problem, I'll tell the plumbers.
- What you doing Mr.
Hopper? - Shut up! Very bad.
He was not supposed to move in here for a week.
- Who? - The new tenant, Mr.
Jarvik.
I should charge him for this.
They were running surveillance on me.
Mr.
Zeitoun, these plumbers- were they two of them? Tall white dudes? - Dark jackets? - Yes.
Why would they do this? I just painted these walls.
Upstairs.
Move! It's Jarvik.
He must have come in here to clean and surprised them.
Them? Who is them?? The men that you saw weren't plumbers.
Their names are Fencik and Buchalter.
They're parked across the street in a blue Sedan.
They killed him.
Police! Open up! What's.
.
What are you doing? Open the door and don't let them in.
- Why? - Don't let them in, I'm the police.
Don't let in! Heard some yelling.
Is everything alright? Yes, everything is fine, no problem.
Have you seen your tenant from downstairs? Yes, absolutely No.
- Have you seen him or not? - He was here, - but no, he's not There is leak! - Where's Hopper? - Where is he? - I think he's taking care of the dead man in the tub.
Blue Jay, what's your status? Blue Jay! No sign of Hopper, sir.
You and me, we're gonna talk.
Tacos, uh? - Breakfast of champions.
- I'm out for a run this morning.
- Worked up an appetite.
- I know.
Not many people actually outrun SWAT.
The gun's in there.
I don't even wanna know how you got this.
They planted it in my apartment.
They're gonna try and tell the prints on it are mine.
I've a feeling the real killer left it as a calling card.
I'm running down this ID.
Say you got it from a drug bust or some, don't say you got it for me.
- And don't let it out of your sight.
- You think someone'd tamper with it? Think it might get up and walk away.
So I ran a background on Alma Zapanta No prior, just got speeding tickets.
There's gotta be something.
There is one thing.
I checked with the county records and apparently she grew up in foster care.
Horrible story.
The parents were murdered.
Ever found the guy who did it? It was her brother.
He almost killed her after he got the parents.
Wait, Zapanta? Is that her real name? No.
Birth name was Dominguez, why? Alma Dominguez.
She's El Llorón's sister.
Are you ready Mr.
Zeitoun? Everybody face forward.
Do you recognize any of these men? Those men.
Those two.
Numbers three and six.
They are the plumbers.
They're the ones who put Mr.
Jarvik in tub.
They did not fix leak.
Fencik and Buchalter.
They're ex-sheriff's deputies.
Nothing worse than a dirty cop.
Is he tied to one of the other ass through the wall? To make you happier, you can bog 'em 1st degree murder.
I'm Detective Brett Hopper.
- Brett Hopper? - May I come in? I need to speak to you about your brother.
- I don't have a brother.
- His name is Miguel Dominguez.
That's your given name, isn't it? Alma Dominguez? You must have me confused with someone else.
His name is Miguel.
He also goes by El Llorón.
The Crying Man.
He killed your parents, he tried to kill you.
You don't know anything about me.
I know you're lying.
You need to leave.
You've been hiding from him ever since.
That's why you changed your name? - Just leave! - If he knows you're alive, he's gonna come back after you, finish what he started.
Your brother's been in prison 17 years - and you're still scared! - Just stop it! Oh my God.
I knew this day would come.
You want everybody to think you're dead, don't you? I am dead.
Changing my name was the only way to be safe.
I'm sorry, but I think somebody out there already knows the truth.
I found your address in a man's wallet.
Louis Torrez.
I think he may have tracked you down on behalf of your brother.
- My brother's in prison.
- No, he got out.
Killed someone last night.
Alberto Garza.
And I don't think he's done.
How could you know all this? Excuse me.
I have to take this.
The gun you gave me, your prints weren't on it.
Were there any prints on it? Rednazki found an unspent round in the clip.
There's one clean print on the casing, but it doesn't make any sense.
Yes, because it belong to this guy, Miguel Dominguez, locked up in Pelican Bay.
How did you Is that the guy you thought was Alma's fondest brother? Yeah, and I'm afraid she may be his next victim.
- Hopper, the guy's in prison.
- Andrea, listen to me.
I need you to go to Robbery/Homicide.
Find Detective Choi, he'll listen.
Alright, tell him everything, have him run ballistics.
Tell him the gun should match the three bullets in Garza's body.
I'm on it.
He just showed at my door That's what I'm telling you.
No, his name is Brett Hopper.
He's looking for you.
He knows about you, the prison, Torrez He's standing right here in front of me.
Yeah, I'll tell him.
How could you talk to him? How could you protect that monster after what he did to your family? - After what he did to you? - He didn't to this to me! My father did this to me and my mother stood there and watched.
They're the monsters, my brother tried to save me.
Are you his contact? Torrez comes here to you.
You give El Llorón the orders.
You know why they call him the crying man? You think those tears are for the people he kills? El Llorón cries for me.
You were talking to him and you said I'll tell him what? Tell me what? My brother said that you don't have to find El Llorón.
El Llorón will find you.
Hey I've been meaning to tell you: I knocked down that wall you hated in the kitchen.
You were right.
Makes the whole place feel bigger.
You should come over check it out some time.
Hey, this is Rita Leave the message.
- What? - You need to change that ringtone.
I like it.
Some people just don't quit.
Where do you keep your blankets? Aren't you glad you finally picked up that phone? I'm a ghost.
I'll be back.
And you'll be dead.
You and everyone you love.
Miguel Dominguez, you're under arrest for the murder of Alberto Garza.
You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you Dominguez's prints are on the murder weapon.
We may have a few loose ends, but everybody can see it as it is, about now.
And the Feds are on their way.
They'll make sure Dominguez never steps out of a cell again.
They're also looking into the names that you provided.
Conrad Detweiler, Tobias Booth.
And we'll bring in Mrs.
Garza back in sort out her conflict in testimony.
Alright, good.
It's been a long way to assist you, Hop.
Don't know how you figured it all out so fast.
It wasn't as fast as it looks.
Well, it's over.
Now you're a free man.
Go home, get some sleep, you both look like you could use some.
Yeah, the sooner we can put this day behind us, the better.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Excuse me.
Something wrong? Everything's gonna be OK.
I think we finally figured it out.
You must be glad this day is over.
You wanna watch the sunrise with me? I'll be right back.
decision consequence You're a free man.
Here comes the sun! You're gonna miss it! Morning.
Something wrong?
Put your hands up! You're under arrest for the murder of assistant D.
A.
Alberto Garza.
I will be framed for murder.
Who the hell are you people? My girlfriend Rita will be in danger.
I know all this, because I am living the same day over and over again.
The day is the same but different things happen.
Everyday I get an another chance.
For every decision, there's a consequence.
I discovered an alliance between a city councilman and street gangs.
A skinhead alliance with the Latin Disciples.
An alliance that led to Garza's murder.
All brokered by councilman Booth and his little lap dog.
Turns out that Garza tried to send me a fax the night he died.
Miguel Dominguez? What would Garza send this to you? He's been in Pelican Bay since 89.
There's no way he could've killed anyone in 91, let alone Garza.
So, somehow, I've got to catch Dominguez and find the answers that would clear my name.
Flying to San Francisco.
Very romantic.
San Francisco you alone First off, it's not even San Francisco.
It's Pelican Bay.
It's all the way out of Nowhere Ville and believe me, the last thing it is, is romantic.
Do you know what a Supermax is? Sure, some big grocery store where you buy things in bulk.
Hello! I was married to a cop.
Supermax is like a fortress of solitude to violent offenders.
You're right, well, I gotta go see this guy there, Miguel Dominguez.
He's serving five consecutive life sentences for murder.
Why do you have to go? Miguel Dominguez Why would Garza send this to you? This guy wants me to go see him.
He's a key to this murder case I'm working on.
That's yours? That's okay, I got it.
Hey.
You know, can I give you a call back? Who's that? It's just work.
So, what time do you want me to pick you up in the morning? I got that covered.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I mean, if today is like the passed few, by the time you wake up, I'll be back.
- Excuse me - What? I'm hearing a sort of horrible clang.
I think we should tell the captain and turn back.
Was this different from the clang you heard just a couple of minutes ago? This one sounds even more dangerous.
I fly five days a week all over the world.
Airplanes are safer than cars.
This is a silver gleaming death machine.
It's nice talking to you, sir.
So do you really travel that much? San Francisco, Seattle, Japan.
Back to France next week.
I've been to Paris twelve times.
Sounds fun.
Of course, I've only seen the Eiffel tower from my hotel window.
I keep saying I'm gonna go but, you know how it is, every time it's the same thing.
Tell me about it.
Got to celebrate my birthday twice though.
'Cause of the international day line.
I'm on way back from Sydney.
Today what day is it in Australia? Well, see, seventeen hours ahead, so that would make it Tomorrow.
Yeah, I guess it would.
I wish I could get there.
- Where? Tomorrow? - Yeah.
Seems like today is going pretty well.
You gotta live for the moment, right? Yeah.
Yeah, it's what my girlfriend keeps telling me.
Lucky girl.
Excuse me, does he even know that I'm here? You don't have an appointment, Detective.
You'll have to wait.
Yes ma'am, I've been waiting for three hours.
Detective Shelten, is it? Yes, Chad Shelten.
Come on.
You understand that I can't just stop my day because you drop in.
I appreciate you seeing me, I won't take you up much of your time.
I need to speak with one of your prisoners, Miguel Dominguez.
I'm afraid I can't accommodate that, Detective.
An assistant D.
A.
was murdered last night in Los Angeles.
Dominguez may have some information on the killer.
A man who spent the last 17 years in prison would have information on a murder that happened last night? I realize how that may sound I'm afraid you come at a bad time, Detective.
Dominguez shanked a guard a few days ago.
That's his third incident this year and we put him in solitary confinement.
No visitors.
No exceptions.
I really need to speak with him.
I'm sorry.
- Five minutes.
- Detective.
You've come a long way for nothing.
Yes.
Bob Nedgo, I have Mr.
Detweiler returning.
For every decision, there's a consequence.
Good luck with your case, Detective.
See you soon.
Everything is gonna be fine.
Nothing's gonna happen to this plane.
How do you know? Because my day is repeating.
I was here yesterday and this plane doesn't crash.
I watch TV.
Planes crash all the time.
So, if your day is repeating What do you know about me? I hope we didn't keep you waiting too long.
Detective Shelten, is it? Yeah.
And Detweiler sent you? If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your association with him? We share a common interest.
And he sent you here for me? Relax, he just wants to know what happened with the guard that Dominguez shanked.
That's being handled.
I sort of promised I'd talk to him.
See what went down.
You want to talk to Dominguez? Detweiler wants to know the whole story.
Get the hell out of my office.
He's not gonna be too pleased with you filling me out like this.
Who? Detweiler? Detweiler didn't send you here.
Mr.
Parrison, get a guard in here to escort this gentleman off the facility.
Hey man, why don't you take this? It'll help you relax.
Thanks.
Mister Pusherman.
But I'll just say no.
I'm a police officer.
Narcotics Unit.
This is a prescription med, it helps relieve anxiety.
You're gonna take this, and you're gonna stop moaning about how unsafe you think the plane is.
You're scaring the others passengers.
Take it.
Okay, thank you.
And, the next time you're in Paris, you should visit the Eiffel tower.
Don't wait.
So, Detweiler sent you? Told me to get up here as soon as I could.
You don't mind me asking what what exactly is your association with him? Fencik and Buchatler were busy.
Listen, I'm not here to bust your hump.
Detweiler is just a little concerned about this Dominguez situation.
Well, I already spoke to him about it.
Come on, you know how he gets.
Always telling everybody how serious he is.
I told him we shouldnt put Dominguez in Gen Pop.
Now he's upset that there is a price to pay.
Well, he's a tough guy to work for.
Don't I know it I've spent 12 years under that man since the time when he was a warden.
I swear to God, if I never hear those two words again Decision Consequence.
So, what do you need from me? You've got five minutes.
Where the hell are you? Some wrong with the food? Another guy in a tub.
I staked that place out for a week.
- Never once was that guy - So you did what you have to do.
Yeah, well, feels Unprofessional.
Unprofessional is yapping about it all morning.
There bigger problem than some guy flowed in his tub.
- What? The GPS thing? - Yeah, the GPS thing.
How we're gonna find Hopper without it? Call some favors.
OK, think your guys can help us out? We're cruising brown town looking for that gang banger from the safe house.
Great.
This job is a lot easier now.
All we've to do is take out the trash.
Slow down, you're gonna choke.
When is the last time you ate? Couldn't say.
Did you bring the Dominguez file? OK, I'll buy it.
Why are you looking at a guy who's been in lock-up for 17 years? I think he killed Garza.
Hopper, the only thing this guy is killing is time.
They call him "El Llorón".
The Crying Man.
They say he's a ghost.
He can walk the walls, he sees everything, hears everything.
Even though he's in locked up, people fear him like he's the Boogie Man.
What's he in for? Killed his whole family.
Both parents, kid sister.
They found him covered in blood, at the breakfast table, just sitting, eating his cereal.
OK, he's a psychopath.
But this guy's on ice in Pelican Bay.
Even ghost don't get over there.
That's what I thought, but the magic trick isn't walking through walls.
He's left to the back door.
You're telling me somebody let this guy out of prison? Yeah.
I've a CI, Damien Ortiz, he's about to testify about contract killings within the Latin Disciples.
Now I think that LDs are using Dominguez to do all the dirty work.
But why go through all of this trouble? The streets are full of bangers who whack their best friends for a c-note or an 8-ball.
It's the perfect alibi.
If he's behind bars, there's no way he could possibly pull the trigger.
OK, suppose it's true.
How you're gonna prove it? OK, what do you need? I need you to look into unsolved homicides over the passed 17 years.
one shot to the head, two to the body.
Execution style.
Same way Garza went down.
Go see Detective Choi at Robbery/Homicide.
He'll listen.
See if Dominguez left prints at any of the crime scenes.
But if this Dominguez guy is as good as you say he's, you think he'd be careless enough to leave a print? Yeah, he did it before.
He killed this girl named Isabelle Contreras.
He left one there.
Of course, he could just be taunting the police, telling us he can't be caught.
But you're gonna try anyway? Yeah, I'm being framed for a murder he committed.
I gotta to find him.
You said it, this guy's a ghost.
How you're gonna do that? By getting my informer to inform.
You pull me out of my niece's birthday for this? I'll ask them to save you a piece of birthday cake.
No, man.
I'm not doing this.
We're through, Hop! I know that the LDs are into murder for hire.
I also know that's why Baxter and the feds want you to testify.
- How the hell you know that? - You were gonna give my name? Louis Torrez.
He's the one who's running all the hits.
This bastard thinks he can pull on our faces, he's soon no smaller than a gang banger? He's sailing his own disciples down the river.
- You want him? - He's protected, Hop! - He's connected - To a councilman named Tobias Booth.
Yeah, I know.
He's going down too.
Look at you, Detective Hopper with the 411.
Alright.
I'm listening.
You can get Torrez after I get what I need from him.
Oh yeah! What's that? El Llorón.
Use the front.
- What? - He's the LDs secret weapon.
Torrez is the dispatcher.
Someone orders a hit, Torrez makes the call, El Llorón pulls out, he's got a "out of the jail" free card.
You didn't know that, did you? Not about El Llorón.
- I'd stay clear - I gotta have him.
The Crying Man.
If this whole thing goes down the way I think, we could pull them all away.
Torrez, Booth, even El Llorón.
- So they do a couple of years? - No, we pull them away for good.
Call the feds, whoever we need.
That's gonna leave a lot more room at the top of the LD food chain.
New for an entrepreneur.
A young man with vision.
I know a guy like that.
Let me introduce one of the greatest success stories of our anti gang initiative.
Louis Torrez joined the Latin Disciples at the age of 14.
Today, Louis is the key contributor to this community, a member of Oh, yeah! Vato! You think anyone believes that crap about you leaving that life behind? How would you believe what I say? I don't buy it either.
Andrea Battle.
I'm looking for Detective Choi.
Battle? Hopper's partner? Spivak, I'm in charge of the Garza murder.
Anything you have to say to Choi, you say to me.
I need to look through your files on cold case murders.
Anything that went down execution style in the last 17 years.
Execution style, that's good.
What? I admire what you do to help your partner, but you might have just deep-sixed him.
Really? How's that? Garza was killed execution style, but we didn't release that information.
Other than detectives of the scene, the only other person that knew that little detail is the killer.
See, that's the problem.
'Cause I happen to know Brett Hopper didn't kill anyone.
Great.
Have him come in and tell someone about it.
You play ball.
I let you pull all the cases you want.
I have a better idea.
I pull the cases that I want, you play ball with yourself.
Easy! What we're gonna to do is real simple.
You tell me where El Llorón is, you walk away.
You don't, I walk away, and I leave you with Damien.
- I don't know what you talking about.
- Stop it! I know he escaped from prison, I know he killed Garza, and I know you know where the hell he is.
You're mistaken.
I work for councilman Booth! At least the Latin Disciples had more respect for who they are.
I left that life behind.
You can lie, ese, but you ain't done Let me just talked to him! Vamo! I got this.
Easy, easy.
Son of a bitch.
You're gonna have to get that little tattoo removed? You're gonna rip him off or make him talk? Shut up! I'm still a cop.
Yeah, shut up! What is this? Whose address is this? That? That's muy importante.
That's where I hook up with Damien's mother.
Come on! - Come on.
- Come on! Vamo! - You know what they call you? - Think I give a damn? - You wanna me say why we call you LD? - What? - What? - La Dama! The woman! I'm cool, Hop.
- I'm cool, right? - Right? - I'm good.
- Yeah, run away! You think it's Who the hell's gonna know, cabrón? Who's running? We are.
Wait! You gotta tell me about Dominguez.
El Llorón He's not the What? Torrez! What the hell did you do? Watch it, Hop! Watch it! You did it again! - I knew I couldn't trust you.
- What the hell are you talking about? You say I wouldn't play bad cop for you? I came here to get my note! Got it? You got a problem with that? You could lay down right next to that bitch! What are you doing? What do you think? You think I'm gonna stay here? I'm getting the hell out of here, Hop.
You should too.
Spivak! Detective Battle? You found me a happy end? No, but I found these.
Two cold case hits match and the same MO as Garza: One to the head, two to the chest.
And both crime scenes had errant prints belonging to one guy.
Miguel Dominguez, who's that? Garza's killer.
Hold on, this guy was in prison when the murder was committed.
Listen.
I know what I'm suggesting might sound a little - Insane? - Implausible.
It's Dominguez.
We just need to find an errant print from the Garza scene.
Oh, we've got an errant print On the gun.
It belongs to Hopper.
I don't know your partner, but He's our guy.
I wanna recheck the gun.
- You're reaching, Battle.
- Then let me reach! It's how we found Hoffa right? Beneath the gold post at the metal ends.
I need to see the gun from the Garza murder.
You're the IO? - Not but I - I am.
Do what she wants.
Ok, just give me a second.
We don't have the gun.
What do you mean? It's been checked out.
Checked out by who? Detective Spyvak.
I'm Spyvak! - Yeah.
- I'm Detective Brett Hopper.
I'm conducting a police investigation.
I'd like to ask you a few questions.
My cousin has one of those and he ain't a real cop.
Show me something else.
- What do you want, Brett Hopper? - May I come in? Miss Zapanta, you live here by yourself? Alma.
Yeah, just me.
Do you know a man named Louis Torrez? Tobias Booth? Doesn't sound like my flavor.
What about Miguel Dominguez? I don't know, I don't think so.
You don't know or you just don't remember.
Men in my life come and go, I don't know who's got a name.
What is this really about? I found your address in a man's wallet.
Louis Torrez.
I think you may be in danger.
Maybe he just wanted to buy a painting.
Well, I have reason believe he is a dispatcher for a contract killer.
He had your address.
- You could be his next target.
- Why would anybody wanna kill me? Excuse me.
- Andrea, what did you get? - You were right.
I've found Dominguez's prints on two other crime scenes.
But not at Garza's.
- What? Did you recheck the gun? - I tried: only one problem.
- It's gone.
- What do you mean "gone"? Chain of evidence says Spyvak signed out.
But I was with him, I'm telling you he had no idea.
Alright, it means I gotta go back tomorrow and get the gun.
What are you talking about? Thanks.
I gotta stop doing that.
Miss Zapanta, is there anyone that you think would wanna harm you? Yeah.
But they're dead.
What do you mean? I can take care of myself, detective.
Why don't you find someone else to save? Hey, it's me.
Thank God.
I've been so worried.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry I haven't had time to call you today.
I just want to make sure you're okay.
- make sure you were safe.
- I'm fine why wouldn't I be? I know you've been hearing a lot of crazy things about me today You need to know, I'm trying to clear my name.
What's going on? Where are you? I'm waiting for this guy, Miguel Dominguez.
Sorry I can't tell you more.
Are you with Chad? Yeah.
How did you know? It doesn't matter, just stay with him tonight, OK? Okay.
I see you tomorrow.
Alright baby? I promise, I see you tomorrow.
Hopper? - Yeah.
- What did he say? That I should stay here with you.
Really? You've got a hell of a tasted man.
Where do you keep the blankets? Hall closet.
Everything okay? Yeah, one of my bulbs burned out.
Where do you keep spares? In the kitchen.
Hey! Morning.
You're in a good mood, this morning.
There's this murder case I've been trying to close off.
Trying to put behind me and - They got finally got a handle on it.
- Really? Yeah, Andrea came up with some evidence that kinda support this theory I got going on, so That's great news.
I still have to catch the guy, but - We should celebrate.
- OK.
Tonight.
- Unless you wanna - Unless I wanna what? Unless I wanna what? No, I gotta go to the house and see what's up to Rambis, I gotta get this gun, maybe get it print in.
I got this stuff too I'm rather busy.
Zapanta.
Z-A-P-A-N-T-A.
First name: Alma.
- Got that? - Yeah.
- What's so important about this girl? - She may be the target of a contract killing.
Anything you can find will be helpful.
I'll look into it.
Did you get the gun yet? I'm on the way to my apartment right now.
Had to help Rita with some stuff.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days? I've got IA at 11a.
m.
Don't let your stuff make me late.
Hey, buddy.
What's up? Want some treats? Let's go! Hey, Mr.
Hopper! Your apartment has a leak.
I know, I was just coming up to investigate.
No problem, I'll tell the plumbers.
- What you doing Mr.
Hopper? - Shut up! Very bad.
He was not supposed to move in here for a week.
- Who? - The new tenant, Mr.
Jarvik.
I should charge him for this.
They were running surveillance on me.
Mr.
Zeitoun, these plumbers- were they two of them? Tall white dudes? - Dark jackets? - Yes.
Why would they do this? I just painted these walls.
Upstairs.
Move! It's Jarvik.
He must have come in here to clean and surprised them.
Them? Who is them?? The men that you saw weren't plumbers.
Their names are Fencik and Buchalter.
They're parked across the street in a blue Sedan.
They killed him.
Police! Open up! What's.
.
What are you doing? Open the door and don't let them in.
- Why? - Don't let them in, I'm the police.
Don't let in! Heard some yelling.
Is everything alright? Yes, everything is fine, no problem.
Have you seen your tenant from downstairs? Yes, absolutely No.
- Have you seen him or not? - He was here, - but no, he's not There is leak! - Where's Hopper? - Where is he? - I think he's taking care of the dead man in the tub.
Blue Jay, what's your status? Blue Jay! No sign of Hopper, sir.
You and me, we're gonna talk.
Tacos, uh? - Breakfast of champions.
- I'm out for a run this morning.
- Worked up an appetite.
- I know.
Not many people actually outrun SWAT.
The gun's in there.
I don't even wanna know how you got this.
They planted it in my apartment.
They're gonna try and tell the prints on it are mine.
I've a feeling the real killer left it as a calling card.
I'm running down this ID.
Say you got it from a drug bust or some, don't say you got it for me.
- And don't let it out of your sight.
- You think someone'd tamper with it? Think it might get up and walk away.
So I ran a background on Alma Zapanta No prior, just got speeding tickets.
There's gotta be something.
There is one thing.
I checked with the county records and apparently she grew up in foster care.
Horrible story.
The parents were murdered.
Ever found the guy who did it? It was her brother.
He almost killed her after he got the parents.
Wait, Zapanta? Is that her real name? No.
Birth name was Dominguez, why? Alma Dominguez.
She's El Llorón's sister.
Are you ready Mr.
Zeitoun? Everybody face forward.
Do you recognize any of these men? Those men.
Those two.
Numbers three and six.
They are the plumbers.
They're the ones who put Mr.
Jarvik in tub.
They did not fix leak.
Fencik and Buchalter.
They're ex-sheriff's deputies.
Nothing worse than a dirty cop.
Is he tied to one of the other ass through the wall? To make you happier, you can bog 'em 1st degree murder.
I'm Detective Brett Hopper.
- Brett Hopper? - May I come in? I need to speak to you about your brother.
- I don't have a brother.
- His name is Miguel Dominguez.
That's your given name, isn't it? Alma Dominguez? You must have me confused with someone else.
His name is Miguel.
He also goes by El Llorón.
The Crying Man.
He killed your parents, he tried to kill you.
You don't know anything about me.
I know you're lying.
You need to leave.
You've been hiding from him ever since.
That's why you changed your name? - Just leave! - If he knows you're alive, he's gonna come back after you, finish what he started.
Your brother's been in prison 17 years - and you're still scared! - Just stop it! Oh my God.
I knew this day would come.
You want everybody to think you're dead, don't you? I am dead.
Changing my name was the only way to be safe.
I'm sorry, but I think somebody out there already knows the truth.
I found your address in a man's wallet.
Louis Torrez.
I think he may have tracked you down on behalf of your brother.
- My brother's in prison.
- No, he got out.
Killed someone last night.
Alberto Garza.
And I don't think he's done.
How could you know all this? Excuse me.
I have to take this.
The gun you gave me, your prints weren't on it.
Were there any prints on it? Rednazki found an unspent round in the clip.
There's one clean print on the casing, but it doesn't make any sense.
Yes, because it belong to this guy, Miguel Dominguez, locked up in Pelican Bay.
How did you Is that the guy you thought was Alma's fondest brother? Yeah, and I'm afraid she may be his next victim.
- Hopper, the guy's in prison.
- Andrea, listen to me.
I need you to go to Robbery/Homicide.
Find Detective Choi, he'll listen.
Alright, tell him everything, have him run ballistics.
Tell him the gun should match the three bullets in Garza's body.
I'm on it.
He just showed at my door That's what I'm telling you.
No, his name is Brett Hopper.
He's looking for you.
He knows about you, the prison, Torrez He's standing right here in front of me.
Yeah, I'll tell him.
How could you talk to him? How could you protect that monster after what he did to your family? - After what he did to you? - He didn't to this to me! My father did this to me and my mother stood there and watched.
They're the monsters, my brother tried to save me.
Are you his contact? Torrez comes here to you.
You give El Llorón the orders.
You know why they call him the crying man? You think those tears are for the people he kills? El Llorón cries for me.
You were talking to him and you said I'll tell him what? Tell me what? My brother said that you don't have to find El Llorón.
El Llorón will find you.
Hey I've been meaning to tell you: I knocked down that wall you hated in the kitchen.
You were right.
Makes the whole place feel bigger.
You should come over check it out some time.
Hey, this is Rita Leave the message.
- What? - You need to change that ringtone.
I like it.
Some people just don't quit.
Where do you keep your blankets? Aren't you glad you finally picked up that phone? I'm a ghost.
I'll be back.
And you'll be dead.
You and everyone you love.
Miguel Dominguez, you're under arrest for the murder of Alberto Garza.
You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you Dominguez's prints are on the murder weapon.
We may have a few loose ends, but everybody can see it as it is, about now.
And the Feds are on their way.
They'll make sure Dominguez never steps out of a cell again.
They're also looking into the names that you provided.
Conrad Detweiler, Tobias Booth.
And we'll bring in Mrs.
Garza back in sort out her conflict in testimony.
Alright, good.
It's been a long way to assist you, Hop.
Don't know how you figured it all out so fast.
It wasn't as fast as it looks.
Well, it's over.
Now you're a free man.
Go home, get some sleep, you both look like you could use some.
Yeah, the sooner we can put this day behind us, the better.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Excuse me.
Something wrong? Everything's gonna be OK.
I think we finally figured it out.
You must be glad this day is over.
You wanna watch the sunrise with me? I'll be right back.
decision consequence You're a free man.
Here comes the sun! You're gonna miss it! Morning.
Something wrong?
