Guns

1 Are you saying that you used my kid in a case today and that's why he had drugs on him? Is that what you're saying to me? Her name's Jackie Sullivan.
You can never see her again.
Roxy, you got to keep it clean, you got to stay out of trouble.
And, hey, no guns.
I need a 96 Beretta.
I need it to scare my man, all right? You had a boyfriend point a gun in your face? When they do finally give me my job back, you can't abandon me, okay? You know that DeAngelis case, right that I work with Keegan? Well, we had hidden cameras in every room.
Hey, uh, you need any help cleaning up or No, no.
You can't clean.
I'm good.
I got it.
Son, let me give you a hand Shoes! I just cleaned the floors, please.
C'mon, I don't want you to be upset.
Oh, I'm not upset.
I'm good, really.
I can do like, lots of stuff now.
I can listen to my own music, which is going to be awesome, on my own speakers that I bought my own self with my own money.
I'm going to bring something up right now, actually.
You guys are going to love this, it's from the 90s.
Oh yeah, do you remember this one? Oh no, no, no.
Of course you wouldn't, because I hadn't had all the protein and marrow sucked out of my bones and teeth when I made you.
This song hadn't hit the charts Oh, I hadn't had the old vagina just ripped open in the process of giving you life.
Hey, if I'm old enough to spend the night in jail, I can make my own decisions about where I want to live and who I want to date, right? Mom? Elliott, let's go.
Yeah, why don't you go with your father? You should probably go with him.
Because he's been such a present and attentive parent these past seven years.
Let it rain - On me - Nice moves.
He'll be back, this'll blow over.
Maybe he just needs some space.
Yeah.
Like father, like son, I guess.
I have been a witness to a perfect crime Wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame So, are you going to tell me what's going on, or? What? You want one? I saw the surveillance footage.
Of? Don't make this hard, Keegan.
See, I don't know what you're talking about.
The DeAngelis case.
The 10 seconds before I came in Or two minutes, actually.
There was no footage from the DeAngelis case.
What did you do? You go hunting around for this? You lied to me.
- To Shanks, to your squad, to everyone.
- I lost my temper.
I had to lie to save our play.
Okay? That would've meant all our work, the whole thing, what we did together, your work undercover Don't you dare say you did this for me.
Oh, come on, Kelly.
The guy was guilty.
He was guilty, and he's a scumbag, and he's in jail now where he should be, because of us.
But you beat up a kid and then you lied about it, and you put me in the position where I can't protect you.
Serve and protect, you remember that? That's what you taught me.
You can't protect me? You're supposed to be my partner.
We got a code.
Now you're going to turn your back on me? How many times I had your back, huh? - This is different.
- No, it's not.
If it weren't for me, you'd still be hiding in a closet while Len kicked the hell out of you.
You better do the right thing and get ahead of this and tell the truth! Because if you don't, then I will.
So I guess you're talking to me again? I'm still mad at you, I'm just more mad at Elliott.
Plus, he moved out and I can't stand being in that house alone.
You're like, the only other person I know who doesn't have a life, so Hey, feast your eyes on this.
Uniforms found at the old church Roxy was squatting in.
Wait, is it a black-market kidney? Because maybe I'll just sit this one out.
Come see for yourself.
You gotta press it, it's like one of the Did you have coffee or something? Six.
- Wow.
- Yes! - And these are Roxy's? - Yep.
I guess she's our friendly neighbourhood gun runner.
Wow.
This way And loops it up that way And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ms.
Benson, we have a few questions for your client.
Like? Like why did we find a cooler full of weapons in her squat all registered to a defunct Chicago gun store called Nation of Ammo? Operative word being, "squat.
" Those guns could belong to anyone.
Except, the only prints on them are Roxy's, so we're going to have to assume she owns all of them.
Plus one more.
Isaiah Jones, 12-years-old, killed in a Stockwood drive-by four months ago.
Gun found on the scene was also registered to Nation of Ammo.
Mm, looks like someone's going to be an accessory to murder.
Mm-hmm.
Unless they tell us exactly where they got those weapons.
Let's imagine my client was a person who came into possession of some black-market weapons.
Let's say she considered selling them to other desperate souls who, for whatever reason, felt like they needed to wave a gun around to be taken seriously.
You could go after her Or you could go after the much more dangerous humans supplying to her and dozens of others.
Crown will drop the sentence to six months if she gives up her gun source.
Um, awkward silence is not going to shave four-and-a-half years off your time, will it, Wazowski? No, it really won't.
Okay.
Apparently Phone a guy, leave 1000 bucks in the public toilet across from the Epic Bingo in Mississauga, guy leaves a gun.
Like in the back of the toilet, in the bowl where you In the back.
Guy's name? Goes by Siff.
Gets a new burner every month.
Thank you.
She wasn't specific, to be clear.
She just said the public toilet, so it's possible that it could've been left in the bowl.
Hey Jacks, can you pick up Sol from school later, take him to Maureen's? Hey.
Hello.
No, why are you assaulting me? Oh, assault? - Removing your headphones is assault? - Yes, actually.
It's unwanted touching and if you don't give it back, it's robbery.
What's the matter, baby? Is it the cop's kid? No.
Come here.
Sit up.
Come here.
When I was 16, I saw a picture of Ivana Trump in this Prada dress.
She was standing next to Donald who, you know, back then, you could almost look at - without throwing up.
- Okay.
Stop.
Almost.
I remember thinking, "I wish I had a millionaire husband to buy me that dress.
" For so long baby, for years, I poured my energy into helping men succeed.
But what I needed was to pour some of that energy into myself Buy my own damn dress.
You're a tiger, baby, not a kitten.
And you're nobody's pet.
You want something? Go get it.
This is Nation of Ammo.
And this is Levin Kaplan, former owner, he died last year.
His widow, Hannah, has no idea where the inventory went.
Looked into her, spotless record.
She's never even been to Canada.
I got in touch with the dealer.
Swap's set for tomorrow morning.
My man.
Ooh, yeah, my man as well Okay, cool, cool, cool.
You will do the drop in the men's restroom, Hamm and I are going to watch and wait.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No can do, Samwich.
I got my DS interview tomorrow morning so you are on your own.
My days of cruising bathrooms will soon be behind me.
Okay, well looks like it's just us, chickens.
Okay, let's do the old to-do list, gang.
Me, 7:00 AM, I will gather the money, I will put it in a big Ziploc, I will bring the car, I got to get gas, so that means, Duff, you're bringing the Cool, cool, cool, cool.
I can't believe he has to leave the money in the toilet.
I've given him some hand sanitizer.
God, could you stop that? Well, I don't want to waste it.
But can't you just eat what's inside the cup? Oh my God, what are you, the food police? I've an idea, how about actual police work? Eyes on.
I've decided.
I'm going to tell Shanks about Elliot and Jackie.
Okay.
Nice knowing you.
I got to get it out there, can't keep it bottled up, you know? I want to clear the air, you should try it some time.
What are you talking about? Something is bothering you, I know that.
Come on.
Okay, let me guess.
You and Nathan broke up.
Am I hot? Am I cold? Am I warm? I bet I'm warm.
I'm warm, aren't I? I'm really warm.
I'm probably hot.
Is that what it is? We're not together enough to break up, okay? Look at that.
Seriously, though.
Like, I tell you everything.
Like, I'm thinking it, I feel it, I'm like And I tell you.
You don't tell me anything.
- You know everything about me.
- Yeah, and who s Who says I want to know those things, though? Hey, Naz, someone's heading in.
Keep your eyes open.
Naz, what's happening? He made the drop.
Grab him.
Let's go.
Hey, police.
Get your hands up.
Get your hands up! - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Slow down.
- Don't move! Don't you Come back here! Freeze! - Drop the phone.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hands.
Don't eat it! Oh, no.
Did he just eat a SIM card? What do you want me to say? I don't know what to tell you.
I'm not a gun dealer and I don't have a client list.
Oh, I see, you just really enjoy the taste of SIM card in the morning.
Yusuf, I am not letting you leave here with all the information I need swimming around in your guts.
If I have to, I'll go fishing around in the you know for names.
I will do it, okay? So you can either just get things moving, which will be very unpleasant for both of us, mostly for me.
Or you could just tell me how many guns you sold, who you sold them to besides Roxy Morales.
- What is this? Offering him a muffin - I don't know any Roxy Morales.
What's she going to do next, make him a soufflé? Just let Sam do her thing.
5, 10, 20? 50? You sold 50 guns? I'm still waiting for your Keegan statement.
If you want your partner back, you need to write that letter.
Yeah, I know.
I'm working on it.
It is biologically unsafe to hold it in for so long.
Did you know you can get something called fecal impaction? Yeah.
Also, megarectum.
That's real, looked it up on the web.
Megarectum what is? Okay, fine.
Go.
Wazowski, can you step out please? Do not gloat.
Don't do it.
What? - Megarectum? - Yeah, megarectum.
Let me show you how to do this.
- What's going on? - Kelly's turn.
Just let her scare the SIM card out of him, then you go back in and get it done by the book.
Speaking of by the book My son Elliot is dating one of our confidential informants, Jackie Sullivan.
- Oh, God.
- Oh, I know, I know.
It's I know.
It's okay.
They met randomly online and I had no idea and I just found out.
Does your son have any access to your files, your work, your information? No, no.
He doesn't.
My work has not been compromised.
Listen If you have to take this upstairs, I I understand.
I was already thinking of taking Jackie Sullivan out of the system after the church party fiasco, so thanks for making my mind up.
Your boy isn't going to become trouble, is he? No, he won't.
Good.
Oh, kids are a real weak spot, aren't they? Yeah.
I just I have if you wait How about this? How about you tell me who you're selling guns to ASAP? ASAP or what? Or I'm about to unleash a whole bunch of other acronyms on you.
See, your Canadian work visa is about to expire and, well, with a crime like this, that'll get you sent back to the USA by the DOJ and you'll be SOL in MCC.
And don't forget about the K-I-D.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to leave that behind.
Got to love social media.
That your boy? About 10 years old? I just want to know what he's going to look like when he's 25, because that's the next time you're going to see him.
Unless you tell us how many guns you've sold and who you sold them to, and make sure you stay in Canada for your sentencing.
Yeah.
At least you could see your kid on the weekends.
The guns belong to my uncle in Chicago.
He got sick, he had to close the store.
When he died, my aunt needed help paying the bills.
I brought the guns up here, when I sold them, I would keep half the money for myself but I would send the other half down to her, to help my aunt.
I can give you guys a link to my inventory list but I do not know how to find these guys.
All their numbers are Then drink up.
What Jesus.
Layna? Disgusting.
Oh, man.
- Hi.
- Oh.
Hi, Tig.
Don't, "Oh.
Hi, Tig" me.
You're not supposed to leave this room.
You're hiding from the cops, remember? What the hell were you two doing? Running some errands.
We borrowed Mrs.
Bruce's car and no one even saw us because we're stealthy.
Until he crashed it into a ditch, but It's fine, Mrs.
Bruce is dead.
Not because of the crash, all right? It's cancer.
The car's been sitting in her driveway for over a year.
No one's even going to notice it's gone.
What is wrong with you two? We're on Molly.
You want some? - No, I don't want some.
- You should.
I tracked this guy down who sells this Makes it himself up north.
- It's crazy good, I got to tell you.
- Crazy good.
It is.
So listen.
Listen to this, okay? I got this idea, all right? We need to go into business with this guy bad, all right? Import coke, export the Molly.
Two trips down to the US, boom.
We don't even have to deal with Misiano.
Oh, okay.
Great idea.
Here, why don't you see how much you can get with this? That is the money I pay you to work for me to sell cocaine, to pay off Misiano.
All right? Not to run around doing drugs, having ideas.
- I'm not your employee, Tig.
- No, you're my bitch.
You want the rest of your $1000 a week? Do your job.
And clean this place up, it's disgusting.
And you, get it together.
Is that how much she pays you? My God.
For a criminal, he's so very organized.
I'm very impressed.
Is that wrong to think it's a bit sexy? Because in another lifetime, I don't know Probably It's been too long.
I'm so sorry.
We have to find 77 guns? What are they doing, trying to start a war? - Oh - Wow.
You might want to give it a minute before you go in there.
That's all right.
I have a teenage son.
Come on.
Let's go.
Walk.
Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
Please work, please work.
Yes.
Oh, wow.
I cannot believe that worked.
Fun fact Stomach acid has very little effect on technology, so Okay.
Plan of attack, to match Yusuf's call histories.
The closest date of sale on his inventory list, that would get the target and what they bought.
- Here, let me show you.
- Oh, no.
You get your own copy there, Poopy Mitts.
They don't smell.
Give it.
I washed my hands.
Okay, look.
On the 14th, someone named Regent called, and on the 15th, there's sale of a Glock and a P320.
Maybe this Regent has those guns.
Yeah, but who the hell is Regent? Who are any of these guys? Look at these names Flinch, Cappin, Heat.
They're gang handles.
Okay, well, maybe the numbers are traceable.
Yeah, you better hope so.
Otherwise, you just stuck your hand in doody for a bunch of nothing.
I don't think it smells - I will shoot you.
- Just, can you smell that? No.
Nope.
Nope.
Gross, Wazowski.
Kobe.
Still got it.
Okay, come on.
We're almost there, we're almost there.
Okay, okay.
Um, this Callum O'Malley dude is still MIA.
He was a military engineer but he has no recent record of employment and his last tour was five years ago.
No credit card, no social media Okay, okay.
So there's him but there's this Wo Wo Dammit.
Who's Wo Wo Dammit? I arrested a guy in Scarborough who went by Ring Dammit and apparently he got that nickname because he was always calling at the wrong time.
And there's Key Dammit, also from Scarborough, because he kept forgetting his keys.
Guess the guys in Scarborough really like Dammit in their handles.
Both those guys had ties to Nicky Clark from the Victoria Park area.
I know Nicky Clark.
- You know Nicky Clark? - I know Nicky Clark.
You know Nicky Clark? Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
There's a Wowodamnit, could that be him? Uh Pow.
Got him.
You can always rely on the stupidity of a young, punk-ass gangster.
- We got him.
- We got him.
We got him.
- We got him.
- We got him.
Get it, nasty.
Eh! Get it, nasty, get it.
Uh! Get it, get it, get it, get it.
Nasty, get it, get it.
- I'm so nasty.
Ooh, I'm nasty.
- Little too close.
Little too close.
- Nasty, nasty Sam.
Nasty Sam.
- Little too close.
Nasty and good morning to you.
You look like you had a shower and you had sleep.
Fed and teeth brushed too.
Yeah, it's what happens when you have a life - outside of work, ladies.
- Yeah.
What's the update on the guns? Okay, we have every contact except for this Callum O'Malley guy.
Mm.
You two look like what she pulled the SIM card out of yesterday.
Naz and Hamm, you two run with those warrants and ETF will accompany you on the raids, okay? Whoa.
What? - No, boss, this is our intel.
- Yeah, we've been up all night.
Exactly.
Go home and get some sleep.
Naz and Hamm, keep me posted.
Yeah, we got it, we got it.
Oh, oh, we got it.
Hamm and Naz, we got it.
Go Hammer, go Hammer, go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ooh, ooh! He dyed his hair? You still don't think he dyed his hair? Yeah, that's what happened.
Oy.
Freeze.
What, you're just going to ignore me now? You only called me five times last night.
And you ignored me five times.
What, so this is going to be the first time you listen to your mother, is it? I don't live with my mother anymore.
See you later, guys.
Aw, dude.
What are you doing? I thought it would be romantic but you're too tall.
Yeah, add it to the list of complaints.
No, no.
No complaints.
You're perfect.
Now you're lying again.
Hey, I'm not lying.
I'm done with the lying, okay? No more lying.
Truth, I like you.
Truth, I miss you.
Truth, my mother is a drug dealer.
What? Yeah.
She smuggles drugs across the border.
She told me to get to know you so I can spy on your mom but then I couldn't stop thinking about you.
So here are the facts, my mother is a criminal, your mother is a cop.
Who's the bad guy? I don't know.
But here's what I do know, is that I want to be with you.
And, like, real talk I am so high right now.
I took some of my aunt's molly and I'm starting to tweak.
Can you get any more? - Hey.
- Hey.
- You heading home? - I don't know.
- I might do some paperwork.
- Oh, right.
You're going to do paperwork because you love it Stop, wait.
You are clearly avoiding something.
- Come on.
- No, I'm serious.
I don't want you to bottle it up, okay? You're going to get an ulcer.
Just talk to me.
Okay.
Here's what's bottled in.
- Okay.
- I'm annoyed.
We tracked down dozens of buyers, figuring out gang handles and false last names.
Yet the one guy we know the most about, Callum O'Malley, we can't find him.
Can't even hand him a warrant.
Okay.
What if we went to get a breakfast sandwich with a side order of sliding by his last known residence? Oh.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Look at you.
Entrez vous.
My aunt here? She's got something for me.
Yeah, she's in the shower or something.
She better not be giving this to you for free.
- This here stuff's worth $50 a pop.
- Yeah, okay.
Just ignore him, he's messing with you.
No, I wouldn't say ignore me.
I can get that for cheaper at school.
Cheaper ain't necessarily better, but go ahead, I don't care.
Now you, you need to get your mom to screw her head on right so we can start moving this stuff by the Probably shouldn't talk about this in front of a cop's kid.
What? You brought a cop's kid here? - What are you, new? - Don't.
Don't! - Hey, hey, hey! Stop! - What are you doing, man? You going to run home and tell Mommy and Daddy that you saw big, bad drug dealer? Okay, he doesn't even live with his mom.
Yeah, but you look like you borrow clothes from yours.
This is La Senza, punk.
Oh, he's cute, Jackie, I'll give you that.
Jackie here used to date my little brother.
He was a big, badass drug dealer, right? Not so adorable and dorky like you.
Let's get out of here, Elliot.
No, no.
See, now I'm going to need some assurances, right? - Randy.
- Quiet.
Open up the drawer.
Hurry up.
Open up the drawer.
Look in, pick it up.
Pick it up.
That's it.
Hold it in the air.
Take a selfie with it.
That's good.
Yeah.
Congratulations, man.
Now your fingerprints are all over that thing and that burner is so dirty, you're going to be attached to everything that it's done.
Try snitching now.
Now we got that over with, go ahead and give him a freebie, babe.
I need water.
Yeah, woo! No one lives in this dump.
Shame.
Just because the land alone is probably worth like, six figures.
Oh, hey.
Hey, do you live around here? Yeah? Do you know who lives in this house? Nobody.
They're in the ground.
Did they die? Wait Um, thank you.
You should wear a helmet, though, by the way.
So, should we have a look-see or do you have a crosswalk to guard? Dibs on the front.
Police.
Anyone home? Police.
Hello? Police.
Hello? Hello? Hello? Ooh.
Wow.
Whoa.
Jesus.
- Wazowski.
- What? You got to come see this.
Hey.
Oh, no, no, no! Come on kid, open the door.
We got us a problem.
Sam? Sam! Wazowski? Wazowski! - Are you okay? - No, no, no, no.
Don't come in, don't come in.
- The room is rigged.
- What? I stepped on something.
- I set off a trigger.
- Um Okay.
I'm calling ETF, just stay put.
Is it ringing? Must be a cell jammer in here, I can't get a signal.
Okay, you know what? I'm coming out.
Sam.
Are you okay? - I'm okay.
- Just don't move, all right? Just let me think for a minute, okay? I'm going to get us out of here.
Here.
Put this on, okay? You think I'm going to get shot, is that it? You'll be fine, just stay put.
Duff, don't go! So, yeah.
What do we know about this Callum again? Let's talk it through.
He's a military engineer.
All right, so that means he wouldn't build something he couldn't get out of, which means there's probably a way to turn this funhouse off, yeah.
Okay.
Kid said whoever lived here was in the ground.
So maybe he was talking about a bunker.
Is that insane? Whoever lives here is definitely insane.
I think that kid was talking about his own family.
Yeah, the kid's the one who locked us in the damn house.
Who knows where he's at now.
Hey, Duff.
If you were ever going to tell me what was bothering you, I could really use a distraction right now.
Like, before I die! You're not going to die, all right? Why won't you tell me? I think you're being ridiculous! It's Keegan, all right? He beat up that kid, unprovoked.
I saw it on the surveillance footage.
Are you going to tell SIU? Uh, hopefully I won't have to.
- Hey, are you on the floor? - Yeah, why? - Jesus.
- I think I found the triggers.
- Oh, really? - Get under the vest, okay? Okay.
All right, I'm going to count down from three.
- You ready? - Yes.
Three, two Sam? Are you okay? I'm okay.
- Okay.
- I'm okay.
Okay.
So just get up slowly, all right? Watch your step.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Okay.
- Okay, you're good.
- Thank you.
Yeah, that's what friends are for, right? Did you mean that? - Well, it's just a saying really.
- I think you meant it.
- Let's table that.
- Nope.
Let's go, let's get out of here.
You ever pick six locks before? Trying Barnies.
Guns on the floor.
Please and thank you! Barnies in my house Callum, I think there's been a terrible mistake.
A big mistake.
I was born a mistake.
School Mistake after mistake.
College.
And then another huge mistake was joining the military.
Killed five innocent people over there.
My superiors decided to deem that a mistake as well.
Hot lava.
See, I do believe there's a time and a place for violence, like when I find two barnies in my house without papers to justify their trespassing.
I think that this is exactly that time and place This little piggy has been mucking with my toys, eh? No matter, there's more where that came from.
I got something for you, you just wait.
Duff, I don't have the training for this.
I didn't take that course.
You know, there's courses on hostage I didn't take it.
Did you take it? - Because I didn't take it.
There's a bunch - Shh.
Quiet.
Listen, right now you need to distract him with a good old negotiation, okay? Hot lava.
Woo! Just remember what I taught you and lean in to the truth.
You can do this.
Hey, Callum.
Hey, Callum, can I talk to? Yeah, hi.
I just, I know the game, hot lava.
I used to play it when I was a kid.
Like the floor is lava and then the couch is safe, so stay off the floor and you'll be fine but it's "barnies" that I don't I don't know what that means.
What, you never watch television? No, it's just all jigsaws and solitaire for me.
Barney Miller, classy cops, classy pigs.
You two are certainly no exception.
Pigs are cute.
They're pretty smart, too.
- You might like a pig.
- Pigs are ham, pork, bacon.
Well, if I was bacon I think I would be emotionally intuitive bacon and Callum, I just don't think you were always this way.
I don't know.
Two tours in Afghanistan, giving your life to an institution You think you know me? You don't know me.
What does your son think about this? My son will grow up without your confines and constrictions.
I have a son and I tried to bring him up like with my work ethic and my morals.
But guess what? He pushed me away.
He pushed me away.
No, he doesn't want be - anything like me.
- Please, please, come on.
I would not blame him.
You shut your mouth about my son, all right? Because if you don't, I will gut you, put you on a spit, and roast you up like the little piggy you are.
- Nice job, Wazowski.
- You too, Duff.
Thought I was going to die in there.
- Oh yeah.
100%.
- What? Of course, not.
I had it.
- We had it.
- We had it.
We definitely had it.
We had it.
We had it.
We had it.
Oh, look at you.
We had it.
We had it.
We had it.
I can't believe this bust.
We're going to be hauling guns out of this dump for days.
Speaking of, I should probably go and just make sure that they've counted all the bullets.
Okay, what was that about? I don't know.
Have you heard anything from Keegan? No, why? You might want to take a look at this.
Night.
Night.
This is the purest stuff I ever had in my life.
Are you feeling it? Yeah, I am.
Yo, play more music.
I want to dance.
This one.
Nice throwback.
I have given, I have given and got none Still I'm driven by something I can't explain What is this? I heard about your day.
Figured you could use a nice dinner and a glass of wine.
Come on, now, Kel.
You gave me a key.
Yeah, to water my plants.
All right.
Here I go.
You just killed my plant.
And I will kill every one of these bastards for taking your attention away from me.
Why are you so crazy? You know I'm playing.
But I think you had enough crazy for one day.
I'm better now.
Wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame It isn't worth the tears you cry To have a perfect alibi Now I'm beaten At the hands of my own game Let it rain Let it rain on me Let it rain Oh let it rain Let it rain on me
