Played 01x12 Hitmen Originally Aired December 19, 2013 The thing for the thing, have you seen it or not? It's leather, it's green? The strap for your bag? I know.
Yes.
Where is it? Well, it's wherever you put it, honey.
Oh my God, you're so funny.
Em, the building isn't burning, your mother can wait.
She's going to be freaking out.
Something's up with her, she's been in a brutal mood all week.
Ohhh, the bathroom.
What the hell, I've been out front for five minutes.
Emily! She'll be out in a minute.
Every single time.
It's my fault, I forgot to set the alarm.
So, how's your week been? It's flu season and half my staff is out with the flu; During flu season, so - That must be rough.
- Yeah.
What's the matter? Nothing.
Are you sure? Nothing, stop it.
Alright let's go! Bye Dad.
Bye.
It's not your problem anymore.
I have to go.
Alright, you've all heard the news.
There was another car bomb yesterday afternoon.
Residential street, four P.
M.
across from a school.
Devil's Guard? The target was a member of a rival biker gang, The Brigadiers.
Second hit in the last three days.
It's all about territory.
The Devil's Guard want it, and they'll take out any club that gets in their way.
They tend not to do the dirty work themselves.
They use hit men.
We have to shut them down, before it gets any worse.
Go ahead.
Key players.
Warren Lander.
President of the Devil's Guard.
He disappeared a few days ago.
At which point the VP, Jeff Bradley, stepped up as acting President.
That's when all the violence started.
Not exactly the stereotype.
The whole club is on roids and crank.
They're speed demons and adrenaline junkies.
How's the progress with that? Good.
I mean, early days, I buddied up with a prospect, Skinner.
"Prospect" means he's lowest of the low, paying his dues.
Everything from cleaning up blood and puke to guarding a sponsor's bike.
I've been playing a hanger-on.
A groupie, sucking up to him and the club.
It's working like a charm Skinner likes playing the big shot.
He said he would intro me to his sponsor, Reid Corder.
We good? Yeah.
Reid's around the corner, just wrapping up.
Just wait 'til he's done and I'll introduce you.
He's a sergeant for the Devil's Guard.
So for a groupie like me he's a rock star.
This is our guy Bradley.
Yeah, got him.
Who's the kid? Good question.
I'll deal with it.
Who's your friend, Prospect? He's cool, Reid.
He'd be good for the club, I scouted him for you.
No one comes in here.
Well he called me, he wanted to meet you.
And you told him, on the phone, that I was here.
Hey, no worries I can go.
No disrespect, man.
What's rule one? Do what I'm told.
And what did I tell you about phones? Don't talk club business on them.
Ever.
Clean that up! You're bleeding on the floor.
You.
Get out.
I see you back in here, you're dead! So that didn't work out so well.
That's alright you did a good job.
Go back to the office, we're going to sit on Reid, see where he takes us.
Dansky? He's not alone, he's talking to somebody.
Hang on, I'll get the mic.
So we good? You take care of it? She left town.
Disappeared.
I'll get her when she comes back.
What does that mean? She left town? So go find her and get it done.
Let me ask you something.
Why do you want her dead? She's one of your enemies? She's just a kid.
What do you care? It's none of your business why, just get it done.
John, it sounds like a hit, a contract.
Either you get her, Dansky, or I will.
Then I'm going to come after you.
You understand? Yeah.
I do.
Whoa! Police! Get down! Don't move! Get down! Get on the ground now! - Got him? - Yeah I got him.
Where'd you come from? Shut up.
Who were you watching, him or me? His name is Robert Dansky.
Works for the Devil's Guard.
He's a hitman.
You talked to him? Yeah, he opened up, told us everything.
- Right in the back seat of the car.
- Really? Yeah, it's all done electronically.
He gets an e-mail with the name and address of the target, and he writes back when the jobs complete.
Did you get an e-mail address? Yeah.
Here.
I'll try and trace the IP, get a location.
Also, I found this.
Dansky's last target.
The one he says he didn't kill.
Lee Meadwell.
Twenty-something student.
No priors.
Zero connection to the Devil's Guard.
Part time job in a campground.
- So why are they after her? - I don't know.
She's disappeared.
We've got a BOLO out.
Why did he kill the client, and not the target? He didn't ask for a lawyer or a phone call.
Just a glass of water.
I have no idea who gave the order, Reid was my only contact.
Why did the Devil's Guard want this girl dead? These guys are vicious.
Car bombs, shootings, They kill kids in the street and don't think twice.
But not you.
You're a killer with a conscience, is that it? That's why you spared her? She was innocent.
That makes a difference to you? Yeah.
Where is she now? With any luck, nobody knows.
I told her to disappear.
Thank you.
You find that painful? Too cold? No, it's fine.
You're thirsty.
Your throat is burning.
But the nerves in your fingers are raw.
Sensitive to the cold.
Your wrists are sore.
Fingertips are a little blue.
You're in chemotherapy.
Lung cancer.
They told me six months.
So why take the contract? Why keep working? I have a daughter.
And I want to leave her some money.
But when I saw this girl.
She's begging me to let her go home.
That was it.
I was done.
This just came in to his e-mail address.
It's encrypted, I can't trace the sender.
Another target? Targets.
Plural.
They want him to kill two more people.
Hey, I just got a call.
My guy Skinner, the prospect, he wants to meet up.
What? No idea but he sounded really nervous.
I got it.
Let's go, we'll take my car.
John, good.
We've ID'd the new targets.
Another kid.
Yeah, Mark Brown, he's 14.
His father is Nathan.
Multiple priors.
Trafficking weed, three counts of assault.
Outstanding warrant from the West Coast.
So he's a supplier to the Devil's Guard, got on their wrong side? But why the son? They kill him to prove a point? Send a message? - To who? It doesn't make sense.
- Keep digging.
Yeah.
And here's something else.
Right here.
That's the targets house.
Right across the street? Devil's Guard.
He's just sitting, watching the house.
Maybe he doesn't trust Dansky? Then why give him the contract? he's there to confirm the hit.
Or if Dansky's a no show, maybe he goes in there and does it himself.
We need to pick these two up, put them into protective custody.
I got a better idea.
We should do the hit.
Okay.
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to set it up as a two man crew.
Dansky and I are going to go in together.
Guy in the truck can get a good look at me, which will establish me as the hitman.
See where I going with this? You want to fake the hit? No way.
Just wait a second, just listen to me.
We'll take the targets out back, get them to a safe place, and then we will put on this little show for our biker friend at the front.
Uniforms, ambulance.
He'll see a couple body bags coming out and we're done.
You realize what your suggesting? Yeah, it'll give me instant credibility with the Devils, which I use it to set up a meeting with Bradley and then we are off to the races.
He's a professional killer.
You're really going to use him as an agent? He's got six months to live.
He won't want to spend them in jail.
If he gets the chance, he'll kill you and make a run for it.
No he won't.
I got a feeling about this guy.
He is done running.
I can see it in his eyes.
Dansky.
We're just going to go down the hallway, alright? Wait, wait, wait.
You okay? Yeah, just dizzy, it passes.
Take the cuffs off him.
I'm not asking.
Take them off now.
Father and son, the kid's 14.
Must be an important target.
They want to make sure he's dead.
Any idea why? This guy has no connection to the Devil's Guard what so ever, so why would they want him dead? Because they're animals.
Is that what you came here to ask me? No.
You ever work with a partner? An associate? Sometimes, if I need help with something.
How would you feel about working with me? You and me, we go undercover.
You want to fake the hit? Yeah.
He sees us going inside.
He sees a couple body bags coming back out.
Yeah.
That's very creative.
No, I can't risk it.
If the Devil's Guard found out, I'm working with the cops.
I have a daughter.
I'm sorry, no, I can't help you.
So, what you're saying is it's alright for your daughter to be safe.
And this kid here can live.
But it's also okay for this kid to die.
And whoever else the Devil's Guard wants to take out next.
'Cause they're just going to hire someone else to do it.
Dansky, you got, what, six more months to live? Six more months.
You should at least do something with it.
Make it count.
I'll leave that with you.
Open up, we're done.
Take him back to his cell.
Wait.
I'm in.
Devil's Guard.
Kicked me out, took my vest.
That guy from the bar? Reid? He got killed.
I know, I heard about it.
I brought you to the bar! Hey, calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down.
Get off me! Bradley thinks you're part of it.
I mean you show up out of nowhere, and Reid gets killed, same day.
Is that what you think? Bradley's gonna make somebody pay for this.
He sees you, you're dead.
And you won't be the only one.
Skinner, Skinner.
So he's not going to know we're coming? No, he's got an outstanding warrant, probably a grow op in the basement.
We let him in on this, he'll just bolt.
- Makes sense.
- Okay.
We're going to come in through here, side window.
We know the Devil's Guard will be watching, from here you got a clear view.
So what do we know about this guy? He's a single father, does shift work.
So it's the weekend.
He's gonna be catching up on sleep, his kid in front of the TV.
Most importantly get the kid under control, stop him from panicking.
Then we talk to the father.
Explain the situation.
What? How's it feel being the good guy? You okay? Don't look at me like that, I hate that look.
Don't forget, we're taking a major risk on Dansky.
He could turn on John, he could try and escape.
Maria, you need to be watching the biker, every second.
This whole thing is for his benefit, so we need t make sure he's buying it.
We'll be stationed in the back.
Two minutes.
Is that your daughter? She live here? Mine's 15.
Just when I got it figured out she throws me a curveball.
There's never a dull moment.
I think so.
My daughter, I think she still lives here.
Guy like you, shouldn't have a problem finding her.
We don't talk.
She had suspicions about my work.
It did not end well.
Does she know you're sick? Okay, we got the green light.
Cuts the noise when you smash it, keeps the glass fragments out of your clothes.
Keeps our biker friend happy as well.
Dad help! It's okay.
Get away from my son.
Nathan, drop the gun.
I'm a cop.
Okay? You can't just come in here! We're here to help you.
Drop it! Alright, go to your dad.
Let's all just calm down now.
Nathan we're here to get you and your boy out of here to safety.
Your lives are in danger; I'll explain outside.
Come on, let's go.
They're good, they're on their way out.
John and Dansky are on their way out.
Targets are coming out back.
What the hell is going on? He said someone's trying to kill us.
Okay, you're safe, just a few more seconds and we'll get you out of here.
They're clear and away.
Copy that.
This way.
You're going to be fine.
Just stay calm and do what I tell you, okay? Let's go.
Biker's leaving.
Let's hope this worked.
Hey, they bought it.
E-mail just came in.
Time and place to pick up payment.
Berczy Park, by the fountain.
We've got a couple hours to get in place, right? He wants both of you to be there.
Who? Didn't say.
Whoever's replacing Reid.
That's good, means they're checking me out.
So what are we doing, are we going to pick him up? Soon as you get the cash we can charge him.
No, no no.
This is my way inside the Devils Guard.
We're not going to take one guy, but the whole club.
You can't just break into my house.
Of course I can.
I know my rights.
You see this? That's a warrant for your arrest.
I could put you in cuffs right now.
Oh, and that gun you had, Nathan? It's illegal.
That's another charge.
It all adds up to some jail time.
Look, that's not me anymore.
I'm out of all that.
I've got a job.
I'm raising my kid.
Tell you what.
I'm going to show you some photos, we'll take it from there.
Did you work with any of these guys? Bikers? No way.
You never sold to them? You don't recognize anyone in these photos? No.
What about her? Do you know her? No, I've never seen her before.
Wait a second.
This guy.
And him.
I've seen these two.
Where? Couple days ago.
I was We were at a gas station, Mark and I.
Just outside of town.
Anyone in there? Oh, sorry.
It was a deer.
Got hit by a car, tried to save it but it was a mess.
The sink, in the bathroom, there was blood on it.
He checked out my car.
Maybe looking at the license plate.
That look he gave me.
It was terrifying.
Do you remember where this was? Off Highway 61; edge of town.
Lee Meadwell, the first target, the one Dansky let go.
You said she worked at a campground? Yeah.
Fitzroy Park.
Night shift.
Why? Where is it? Here.
Just south of Highway 61 That's where the gas station was.
Nathan and Mark, Highway 61.
That's a start, that's something, right? Yeah.
Keep looking.
Okay important thing is that I need to get close to this guy.
I need a meeting with Bradley, alright? Bradley's my ticket.
I'm going to take the whole club down.
Go big or go home.
Any idea who they're going to send with the cash with? - Only guy I ever met face to face is Reid.
- All right.
You sure you're up for this? Yeah, I'm good.
Hey, it's me.
Hey Vee, I'm with somebody right now, okay.
You leave 4 messages and now you don't want to talk.
No, I just I'm on a job.
Let me guess, you'll call me back.
No look, I'm worried about you so What's going on? I have this patient.
This kid, he's 8 years old.
He's back in, his fifteenth time.
The kid with the crazy hair, right? Yeah, you remember.
What's his name? Nav? Is that it? They want to operate, but he's been in and out of ICU all week He's just one patient, you know? But for some reason just the look on his face, I guess, the fear.
He's terrified.
Anything you want me to do? No, I have to go.
Vee? I'm guessing your ex-wife.
Mine was lousy at asking for help, too.
Yeah.
We're going to run full coverage on the square.
Both sides, every angle.
We don't know how many bikers are going to show up, or what they're thinking This could be a trap, so stay sharp.
Alright, they're in position.
Maria, report.
East side is clear.
Jesse? Nothing.
No sign of the bad guy.
I've got nothing.
They're late.
Keeping us off balance.
I don't blame them, something I would do.
Stay sharp.
They could send anyone, might not be in colours.
It's Bradley.
He's coming in at the North West corner.
Daniel, does he have back-up? I think he's alone.
I'll circle back, Maria.
Confirmed.
I'll shadow him in.
Why is he doing this himself? Maria, you're too close.
Keep it light, just a walk in the park, remember.
He's got something.
Left side, hand in his pocket.
Be careful, Bradley may be packing.
I've got a clear view.
I didn't expect you to come.
That's the idea.
Is that the money for Nathan Brown? It's some kind of package.
Who's your new friend? John Walker, he's a colleague.
He did the job with me.
You said you couldn't find her.
How'd you put it in your e-mail? "She disappeared into thin air.
" You should've been more patient.
She went home, Dansky.
Luckily, I had a guy outside her house.
You killed her.
That's enough.
Guys, we have a problem.
Moving in.
Oh no.
No, no, no.
Maria, stay back, keep your position.
You're done, old man.
You and your pal here.
It's over.
Bradley.
You're smarter than this.
You don't need any more enemies, not right now.
Don't talk to me like you know me.
You don't know me.
Did you get all that? Yeah, he was careful.
We got nothing.
John? Daniel, Maria, what's happening? I couldn't get eyes on the shooter.
The shots could have come from anywhere.
We've got uniforms canvassing the area.
Maybe someone saw some movement up in the buildings, or a muzzle flash.
You talk to Homicide? The body of Lee Meadwell was recovered this morning in Portlands.
It was dumped at a construction site.
They also told me something else.
The campground where Lee worked, Fitzroy Park.
There was a murder there, three nights ago.
The victim's body was burned with lye; But they've made a tentative ID.
Warren Lander.
The President, the one who disappeared.
Bradley killed him? And then took over the club.
That's why they killed the girl.
She's working at the park, she must've seen them.
Maybe even witnessed the murder.
Lee Meadwell.
Nathan and Mark Brown.
Wrong place, wrong time.
They saw too much.
Bradley's covering up loose ends.
So then there could be more targets on that list.
So let's give him one.
We'll use Jesse.
He'll be another loose end.
Bradley is already worried about him, right? What if Jesse knew about the murder? What's your guy's name? Skinner.
Okay, he's Reid's prospect, right? Reid told Skinner who then told you.
Okay, then Dansky goes in tells Bradley some bad news.
Jesse knows about the murder.
And Dansky offers to do the hit.
What do you think? If Bradley takes the bait, we got him.
And if he doesn't? This guy tried to have Dansky killed and now you want to walk into his bar for a face to face? She's not wrong.
Going in there could be suicide.
Not if we get him on his own.
It's all about the timing.
Do you have confirmation on the plates Khali? Confirmed.
Registered to Bradley.
The security company has disabled the bar's alarm system, so we are clear to break in.
All right one guy out front, Daniel's watching him.
Other than that, Bradley should be alone.
John, it's time.
Just give us a minute.
Your first job They say it's your hardest one.
But mine it was easy, piece of cake.
It was only a couple days later, it was like the world emptied out.
Everything looked hollow.
Grey.
I got used to it.
After a while, I didn't even notice.
I just wish I could see my daughter one last time.
On the outside.
Behind bars, it's no way to see your kid.
We gotta do this.
Yeah.
Alright, they're in.
Copy that, signal's clear.
Is that your gun in there? There's no need.
We're just here to talk.
What's he doing here? I wanted some protection.
You already shot at me once today.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Of course you don't.
You're wasting your time, Bradley.
I'm not your problem.
Look familiar? You've seen him around the club.
That guy he's talking to, his name is Skinner.
Used to be one of your Prospects.
He knows, Bradley.
He knows what you did.
Skinner must have told him.
People talk, right? Skinner gets it from Reid, tells this kid.
Told him what? About the body that cops found at the campsite.
About how you and Reid off'ed Warren Lander.
This kid knows, Bradley.
He knows everything.
You don't know what you're talking about.
No? The reason I'm here.
I want to make amends.
I made a mistake.
That girl, I lost my nerve.
I want to make it right.
I'll take care of that kid.
In return, you stop trying to kill me.
You just say the word.
You give us a green light, we'll do it.
It's up to you.
I'll tell you what.
You've got a clean slate.
We're good, you and me, alright? What about the kid? I'll take care of it in house.
Now get out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa wait, wait in house? That's not a great idea.
Dansky.
No, you got to keep a distance from this thing.
Hey! I said I'll take care of it.
That's enough, let's go.
No, no, no wait a second.
I killed him, Bradley.
Yeah, I killed Reid.
What the hell are you talking about? I figured you'd be stupid enough to fall for it.
Dansky.
Shut up.
Reid was weak.
Scared.
Just like you.
Maria, cover the front.
Jesse, with me, Khali, call for backup.
I'm on it.
This is Officer Khali Bhatt.
I have a 10-33, requesting immediate assistance.
You stab your own brothers in the back and then you go and hunt down women and children to cover it up.
You're a coward.
You're pathetic.
John! John.
We're okay.
Sorry, John.
I had to do it.
Six months.
Either way, I'm a dead man.
Just take it slow.
Think about it.
I have.
Turn around.
Did you see this? No.
Just came in.
Brass are talking about a federal case.
Devil's Guard are all talking.
Ratting each other out.
So much for loyalty.
So I guess the club's done.
Dansky got what he wanted.
A killer to the end.
How did you know that Dansky would help us? I didn't.
Actually, it was the way he looked at the bracelet.
That's when I knew something inside him broke.
I don't guess people need to feel like their lives matter that that they mean something.
This is great.
Mind if I take this? I gotta run.
So what are we waiting for? Me.
I'm driving.
Thank you officer.
I read your confession.
Every contract you ever did.
I thought you should be the one to take it in.
So what's this, a thank you? No.
Just thought of a rookie bringing you in; didn't sit well with me.
Come on.
We're going to make a little stop on the way.
This is not a good idea; trust me she doesn't want to talk.
It's her idea.
I told her about how you helped us out so she wanted to see you before I take you in.
It's been so long, I don't know what to say.
Then say nothing.
Go on.
Hey, Dad.
I've missed you.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I thought you could use a little bit of company.
How's he doing? Still in surgery.
Well, tough kid, right? He always seems to pull though.
Thanks for coming.
Do you want a coffee? No.
I want you to stay right here.
