Rogue (2013) s02e03 Episode Script

You just Get Used To It

Previously on Rogue - OK.
What do we know? - Sarah's gone.
And we need to make sure that every available unit is out there looking for her.
Cheat's dead.
Grace, see if you can identify Cheat's dealer.
Maybe this was a drug deal that went bad and Sarah got caught in the middle.
Who's prints are on the condom wrapper? Kendra Willis.
- Did he do that to you last night? - I was here.
Are you going to say it? No? We gotta go get his money.
- What do we got? - No Sarah.
But dried blood drops beside the trunk and a bloody drag trail from the vehicle to the water.
If there gonna come after us, then there's no way they're just going to stop at Cheat.
Grace, it's Elliot.
Good work.
Keep surveilling, but under no circumstances do you approach or apprehend.
Am I clear? What? These guys are involved.
We use this.
We bring them in for questioning.
They might know what happened to Sarah.
Tell me what this case is really about, Elliot.
Alright.
Treasury is interested in dirty money our dead friend was putting into circulation.
- The money's gone.
- What do we do? What are we gonna do? # there's blood on our hands # # in this perfect madness # # you're living on borrowed time # # oh, how # # you have lost your way # # you have lost your way # Ethan, what do we do? 504 TD, why aren't you at your post? - 'Cause you just sent me here.
- Oh, shit.
We gotta go.
- Return to 234 West 28th immediately.
- We gotta go, let's go, let's go.
Cheat never partied alone.
We need to find out who was here with him.
Yeah, if they're still alive.
504 TD, report location.
Approaching West 19th.
(Slips) - Hey.
Hey.
- Fuck.
- Keep it down.
- There's someone up there.
Ray, two blocks - He's two blocks away.
- Spud, I am telling you (Sirens wailing) Let's go.
Let's go.
Ray! Ray! Let's go! - One block.
- Go.
(Tires screech) (Footsteps approach) (Sighs) What's going on? They were there, searching for bugs.
And Sarah was made, planting bugs.
And we don't bring them in? Well, hauling them in was only going to alert them to the fact that we knew they were there.
- That we're on to them.
- But we are on to them.
You've had us operating blind from day one.
This isn't about prostitution.
We're following dirty money.
What kind of dirty? Elliot? Chetowski was laundering money at casinos in Reno.
Buying dirty, cash out clean.
Anything under 10,000 isn't registered by the Gaming Commission.
It only came to our attention because he got lazy.
He did it once too often in the same place.
Where did the money come from? That's what we're here to find out.
So So we focus on what happened last night.
I need to show you something.
He doesn't talk to anyone unusual.
Fast forward it, will you, Spud? What time did he even leave? I don't know.
Must have been after I was gone, I mean.
I was home by 10:00, right? We shot pool 'til 1:00.
Cheat was gone when we left.
You know what? Right there.
He left alone, he must have called someone on the way home - Kendra? - He was partying with a lot of girls.
Yeah, but she was the flavor of the month.
(Electronic music playing) (Woman screaming) (Electronic music playing) - (Woman screaming) - No.
I don't think that's Sarah.
- Then who? - Kendra Willis.
I think that she was lying when she said she wasn't there the other night.
We're still waiting on the lab for those DNA results.
Well, who ever it is six minutes after they leave, there's this (Electronic music playing) (Door opens) Yeah, I know.
I thought it was part of the song at first, but it only happens once.
Listen.
(Electronic music playing) (Door opens) There.
That's the sound of the door opening.
Someone else came in.
(Electronic music playing) (Woman screaming, three gunshots) Now that's Sarah.
So whoever came late to the party, they find her and all hell breaks loose.
Who else knew about the money? Maybe Cheat flashed some cash to some hooker.
What, she kills him, then makes it look like an OD? That doesn't explain the bullet holes.
It's Massoud.
(Chuckles) We don't know that.
Easy.
Look, if those bills go into circulation, it lights up the Treasury.
The Feds, they follow it right to us.
Do you understand that now? And then we're dead.
We're electric chair dead.
I fucking hope that it's Massoud.
That he got what he came for and he just goes home with it.
Oh, no, no.
But wait.
He didn't get it all, did he? He only got two and a half mil.
We're dead either way.
So what do we do? I'm gonna take a look at Kendra.
I want you to take a look at Cheat's dealer.
You understand? And if it's Massoud? Well, that's a whole different fight.
Grace.
Good work.
I just want to find Sarah.
And those guys are involved.
I know they gave Detective Lee alibis, but I'm going to see if they hold up.
If us working together again is going to be a problem for you You already lost one operative.
You really want to make her work in the dark? - It wasn't your call.
- Oh, you're pulling rank? - Why, is it a problem for you? - Not for me.
Well next time, clear it with me first.
I'm sorry.
I can't do anything without my manager's say-so.
And what would your manager say if I hauled your ass out of work for obstruction? Probably the refusal to answer a police officer's questions does not constitute intentional interference.
Giving misleading information, warning someone who has committed a crime so that they can escape detection, Detective? You study to be a cop? What'd you flunk? The physical or the written? I'm in peak physical condition and I answered every question truthfully.
Yeah, I mean if every applicant wrote down the real reason they wanted a badge and a gun there'd be no one in the PD, right? Yeah well I mean it's too late for that now.
Come on, everyone reapplies.
I did.
Like, three times.
Really? Yeah, they got these sample answers online.
Help you sound more you know, civic minded.
(Elevator dings) Yeah, worked for me.
So detective, do you have Ethan Kelly getting home on the Yeah.
The Warriors game was on.
And Curry was raining treys over D.
Rose all night.
Oh, Mr.
Kelly came in at the start of the 4th.
Just after 10:00.
You got a camera in the parking garage? Yeah.
And I-- I really appreciate your discretion on this.
Need to know Got it.
Ethan Kelly got home at 10:00.
He made sure the doorman saw him.
Then half an hour later this has him leaving the parking garage, I got Detective Lee to run his plates and the traffic cam last snaps him eight blocks from the crime scene.
Toxicology is back.
Along with a lot of coke, there was fentanyl in Chetowski's system.
The bad blow you see around here is only ever cut with 15%.
So someone knows fentanyl's going around, mixes up their own recipe.
- You think Kelly killed his best friend? - The other guy's alibis check out.
Why is he lying? So Ethan William Kelly graduated top 10% of his law school class, then he gives it all up after 9/11.
An idealist.
How sweet.
Enlists with the Rangers, aces the intel course at Huachuca.
He serves three years Iraq then four in Afghanistan.
Multiple declarations.
Jesus, I don't know whether I should arrest him or marry him.
Well, right now you don't have a shot at either.
What'd you get with Blue Vine? It's a payroll company.
I traced it back to a dozen shell companies.
It's registered all over the place.
Panama, Caymans When I get to the bottom of it, I find it's a private security outfit, babysitting businessmen in the Middle East, government contracts, the usual.
Are they mercenaries? Yeah, no one will talk.
I put a call in to the Pentagon, I have a friend there.
I'm waiting to hear back.
I'm telling you he's our guy.
He knows what happened to Sarah.
Put him under surveillance.
Not you're call.
Have your keeper get on it.
I'll check in with Lee.
(Seagulls calling) (Sighs) That detective, BreƱo did he ever go back undercover? (Boat horns) No.
Hey.
They found something.
Yeah, they filed that right down.
OK.
Yeah, the divers recovered this about 50 feet out.
The serial number's been filed clean, but the caliber matches the three slugs recovered at Cheat's place.
And two more shots were fired.
Double-tap.
We don't know that.
With the currents and the tides Coast Guard says she could be five miles out to sea by now.
We keep looking.
They don't hold out much hope she'll be recovered.
We keep looking.
Of course, - but we have to face facts.
- Grace? Where you going? Yeah.
Sarah's apartment.
I'll send Lee.
I'm her handler.
I wanna do this.
Any evidence of this operation at Sarah's place you bring it back.
I want it on my desk.
(Moaning) Greg you're so good to me I love it when Cum for me, baby.
(Greg breathing heavily) I need a place to stay.
One more night.
Two max.
There's something you're not quite getting here, Kendra.
I pay you to leave.
Come on.
You hardly use this place.

(Dog barks) Jessie! You're Grace? I got your message.
Why do you have Lucy? Where's Sarah? - What happened, is she OK? - She's missing.
What do you mean missing? (Grace sighs) Sh-she's dead, isn't she? Fuck! Does she have any family? Any one I can talk to? None.
No, not that I know of.
How long were you two seeing each other? I don't know, like six, seven months? Will you take the dog? (Jessie chuckles) Ho-how am I going to explain to my wife why I have another woman's dog? Mm-hmm.
My shit's at her place, can I get in there and get it? Wow.
That is classy.
(Grace chuckles) You know what? - She hated you guys.
- Yeah.
Especially after all that Grimaldi shit last year! Grimaldi? Fucking cops.
Man, whatever! Come on, Lucy.
Come on.
(Door closes) Want some water? What's all that noise? I'm just really thirsty.

(Laughs) Hmm.
Could I get you kids a drink? Gracie? - Where'd you get the dog, mom? - Can I have a beer? Sorry, it was a stupid joke.
Mom? The dog? Ahh yeah.
Um A friend asked me to look after her for a while.
Why? You've always wanted a dog.
Why now? So, Billy how's your mom? She's doing good.
She's better I suppose.
Yeah, I've been meaning to call her.
I'm sure she'd like that.
What about you? How are you? Let's walk the dog.
I didn't even know you guys were in touch, so How long have you been - We're not mom.
- A few weeks.
- Huh? - Leaving now.
- You wait.
- What!? For the shit.
(Laughs) Good to see you, Ms.
Travis.
- Mm-hmm.
- Come on, dog.
(Whistles) Embarrassing your daughter.
Aw, come on.
It's a mother's right.
He's so strapping! - Strapping? - Yeah, it's a word.
Or it was.
Evie is not ready.
Oh, yes.
She's ready.
You're the one who's not ready.
Yeah, he's a good kid.
I suppose it could be worse.
Which one was his mother? Hey, Gracie.
His father died.
Mitch.
I worked with him.
- He was a good man.
Good cop.
- What happened to him? - He was shot, on duty.
- God, that's terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
(Birds chirping) (Children playing) Sorry.
That was so weird.
It's alright, don't apologize.
I would say your mom is kind of cool, actually.
- You think? - Yeah, I mean she's not some - corporate suit, or lawyer.
- Shrink? (Chuckles) Right.
- You should buy Evie condoms.
- What? Well, better they do it here than in the back of a car.
(Scoffs) You know what? I don't need parental advice from you.
Well at least he's age appropriate.
You're really going to bring that up now? After 20 years? I got work to do.
Mmm.
OK, so we steal this douchebag teacher's car.
Sticker-bomb it, then dump it in Union Square.
- That's awesome.
- Yeah.
Except now my mom drags me to a shrink 'cause she's convinced that I'm you know, acting out 'cause of everything.
Yeah.
So I say to the shrink "There's three other guys in the car, none of their dad's are dead, why am I the only one being called crazy?" Exactly.
Everyone thinks everything I do is just 'cause my little brother died.
Hey, come here.
(Motor whirring) (Woman screams) What the.
.
- Fuck! - Stand up! (Woman crying) That's it.
Away from the table.
Cross your arms.
Put your hands inside your bra.
Do it now.
That's it.
Good.
Do not fucking move.
- (Man grunts) - (Woman screams) Who the fuck are you? The fuck you want? Two nights ago, where were you? What? (Breaks bone) Ahh! You remember now? Cheat.
That's what I'm talking about.
- Never heard of him.
- No? Maybe this will jog your memory.
Alright, alright.
Alright, I sold to him, OK? But I cut him off weeks ago.
Motherfucker was out of control.
Yeah? That motherfucker was my friend.
My friend.
I cut him off man, I swear.
It wasn't my gear.
Man, what the fuck do you want me to say?! (Grunts) (Woman screams) Fucking stay down you punk.

- Elliot.
- You still on him? - Yeah.
At the hooker's place.
(Footsteps approach) You don't look like a Jehovah's Witness.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Oh, you're not disappointing.
Not yet.
Well I'll try to keep that going.
Is Kendra around? - And now you're disappointing.
- Oh yeah, why's that? I told your partner earlier, I don't know anything.
Did you say partner? - Can you move your foot please? - Were the cops here? - Can you move your foot please? - Were the cops here, I asked you.

Thank you.
Hey! The cops were looking for Kendra.
- Why? Well what did she say? - I don't know.
Look.
Get into her email.
Get me an address on a Craig in Pacific Heights.
- I'm on it.
- Alright.
(Man grunting) You need to leave.
What do you think that was? Rent! - You said I could stay.
- Well, I changed my mind.
I have nowhere to go.
I could really use a friend right now.
Please! (Doorbell) (TV playing loudly) Mom! What? I'm trying to work in here.
Can you turn it down? Mom! What? I turned it down.
Can't you work in your room? (Cellphone ringing) (Beep) Travis.
Kendra Willis.
Her DNA was all over Cheat's body.
- Yeah, I knew it.
- Yeah, I'm going to pick her up.
There's more That blood by the water? It's Sarah's.
Grace Hey.
Hey, what are you doing here? - Ethan Kelly is in there? - Uh-huh.
Well, what the fuck are you doing sitting in here? Kendra Willis is inside.
Elliot told me to observe.
Heads up.
Follow him.
(Phone dialing) Lenny? Yeah, I'm in the house that Kendra Willis was using.
She's dead.
So's her boyfriend.
Two shots each.
One to the head and to the chest.
Ethan Kelly was leaving when I got here.
- What do you want me to do? - Did you see him with a gun? - No.
- Fuck! Are we picking him up? Elliot! - Jesus.
- Well, it wasn't the dealer.
You're sure? Yeah, I'm sure.
I packed up some of Cheat's stuff.
Oh, you think his sister's still gonna want these? Huh? (Laughs) I still think he's gonna walk in any minute.
Yeah, late as usual.
Kendra's dead.
- What? - She was shot, along with her John.
Wait a second, how? They were executed, Ray.
Massoud.
(Elevator dings) Who's this? - Ethan Kelly? - Yes, sir.
You're under arrest.
Hey, hey guys.
You can't just march in - Stand back! - It's alright.
- Don't move.
You're under the arrest on suspicion for the murder of Kendra Willis and Craig Johnson.
- You have the right to remain silent.
- Hold it a second, what is this? Relax.
Anything you say can and will be used against you.
- Do you understand? - Sure.
- Stay here, Ethan.
Stay here.
- Alright, this way.
- Ethan! - Come on, move.
Move.
- His hands came up clean for GSR.
- So he was wearing gloves.
Well, if he used gloves, we can't find them.
Or the gun.
A man's dead in the company of a prostitute.
Now I don't want to tell you how to do your job, Detective, but uh you might want to talk to his wife.
How do you know he was married? Well, he's banging hookers.
What? Look, I'm asking the questions here.
How do you know-- (Knocks on wall) I want every backyard, bush and storm drain, from the crime scene to his office searched.
And then search it all over again.
We need to find the gun.
Did you lose this guy when you were tailing him? You told me he was a surveillance specialist.
You told me to keep a loose tail.
So you lost him.
For a couple minutes.
Five, maybe six minutes tops.
You didn't lose him, he lost you.
He made you and then he dumped the gun and the gloves.
Alright.
Get back in there and plant a story about a neighbor seeing him leave.
He can't know we had eyes on him.
(Grace exhales) Come on, come on.
Let me get in there.
- No.
- Why? Lee's getting killed! Yeah, this is a clusterfuck.
Why the fuck did you tell Lee to hang back?! When he's done, get him out of here.
Jeez.
Where'd you find that guy? And I used to be his boss.
Seriously? No, he's OK.
Once you get to know him.
You mean he's a dick and then you just get used to him.
There was this man.
He was starving, his family was starving.
So he stole a goat from Massoud's land.
He knew it was a death sentence, but it was either that or let his family starve, so When Massoud's men came for him, the man pleaded not for his life, but for that of his wife who was innocent of the crime.
Massoud looked at them and he smiled and he said, "No one on my land should go hungry.
" "Bring food for this man and his wife.
" And they They had a great feast.
And it wasn't until the man and his wife got home that uh they realized that they had eaten their own children.
(Laughs nervously) That's a sack of shit! (Elevator dings) (Gun cocks) Fuck! Why you guys sitting around in the dark? - Are you OK? - What happened, why'd they pull you in? I'm fine.
A neighbor saw me coming out of the John's place.
Oh, yeah? Nice.
Ray, the cops don't know shit.
They're in the dark as much as we are.
- You sure it was an execution? - Yeah.
Then it is Massoud, no doubt about it.
What have we got? I hacked into the ME's report.
The coke was cut with fentanyl.
- What's fentanyl? - It's an opiate.
A pain killer.
It's used to treat terminal cancer patients.
It's very potent.
There's a lot of it going around.
Yeah, you're going to kill a junkie? How would you do it? I'd send over a party girl with an eight ball of tainted blow.
You'd expect them to both partake, but only the junkie does.
Kendra was Massoud, tying up loose ends.
- We're next.
- The only question is, when and - where is he going to hit us? - OK.
Why don't you move your families.
Put them in a hotel.
We're running? No.
Downtown, somewhere safe.
'Til we can figure out what the fuck is going on.
(Cellphone beeps) Hey, babe I know it's late, but uh Listen.
Shit never ends, does it? Sometimes I wish I could go back.
Undo it.
Yeah, I wish the whole thing never happened.
I wish that whole fucking country never happened.
Yeah.
Donna, let's go! - Why can't we go to my mother's? - Because we can't, OK? I can't help you if you won't tell me what's going on.
Everything's going to be fine, OK? I promise you.
It's just a precaution.
I would never do anything to hurt you and Kyle.
You know that.
Did you know that Sarah had two strikes against her? Disciplinary hearings.
Did she tell you that? No.
It wasn't in her file.
Well, she was working a case A murder.
Grimaldi? And she was charged with insubordination.
(Cellphone ringing) Casner.
Yeah.
What do you got? OK, here we go.
Look at this place, this is fine.
OK, kids.
Time for bed.
- Home away from home.
- She's tired.
You like it here? Huh? - Sleepy girls.
- Want your bunny? - Come on.
She's off.
- Yeah.
Come on.
OK.
Let's get that off.
It's OK, sweetie.
Alright, there you go.
Sit over there with mommy.
You OK? We're just going to be in the next room, OK? That was my source at the Pentagon.
Ethan Kelly and his buddies were working private security, based out of Karachi, Pakistan.
They quit a year and a half ago.
Two months later they end up in Aswad Valley.
That place makes Syria look like Kansas.
What were they doing there? Cheat was talking about how hungover he was.
Hungover? He always was.
And you guys Well, you know, I had this terrible nightmare.
That I stole a squad car and I was being chased through the city, New York City.
And I'm like going But man, I woke up in the afternoon.
I get up, I go downstairs and I'm buying some cigarettes or whatever, and there is a squad car, that is halfway on the sidewalk.
(Laughs) And then, so, the judge says, "Well it's either Attica or the Army".
- That's what he told you? - Yeah, that's what he told me.
He told me that he enlisted because he had He got his high school English teacher pregnant.
- That son of a bitch - No, no, hang on a minute.
He told me he put an ounce of blow up his nose back when he was dealing he had to duck into a store in order to get away from the crazy fucker he was stealing from, right, only it wasn't a store.
It was a recruiting station.
Right? - I mean, which is it? - Who fucking knows.
- Crazy fucking - Wow Cheat was crazy, man.
I used to think, you know, his his kind of insanity would keep us all sane.
And as you know, you know once you go to war there's no more sanity.
Sometimes you're trying to help people and there are times you're trying to kill'em.
Then soon enough, you know, you start to realize that those people that you're trying to help they're trying to kill you.
And the longer it goes on, you know you just kind of stop giving a shit.
Who you're helping or who you're killing.
It's all the same.
As long as at the end of the day, you know God damn it, that we're we're still breathing.
Know what I mean? We bring in the best surveillance team, we put them on Kelly, day and night.
Oh, come on.
He'll make them Guy's a pro.
(Sighs) We have to send someone in.
Why you wouldn't let me interrogate him.
Isn't it? You wanna find Sarah? You go in after her.
And then you forget, you know why it is that you're doing what you're doing.
And naturally, you're like, well why'd I sign up in the first place? Like, what am I doing? So you start thinking about man, home because that's the only thing that connects you to that tiny part inside that still makes you feel goddamn human.
But even then, deep down, you're afraid.
Because you worry about what home will be like after hell.
You know, when you're guilty of, like, these horrible things you almost kind of feel like you're a a walking time bomb.
Capable of anything.
And the only thing that separates you from madness is friends.
Just a few broken men.
Just as lost and forgotten.
Yeah.
(Sighs) Yeah, Cheat.
(Drinks pouring into same glass) (Sighs) I'm going to go home.
GRACE: I'm going home.
(Grace sighs) Grace.
Grace.
I need an answer.
Will you do it? (Sighs)
