True Justice (2010) s01e02 Episode Script

1 JULIET: Kane, I lost her.
Do you have an eye? Kane, you copying this? I'm fine.
( Loud crash ) Put it in park, bitch! Get out! Get out, bitch! That's it! ( Tires screech ) Gimmie the key, bitch! ( Groaning ) ( Yells ) CARJACKER: Let's do this.
Police.
You're under arrest.
You all right? Yeah.
Just another day on the job, right? True Justice 1x02 From Russia with Drugs They're all dead, Kane.
Thanks for the call, man.
What you got? Look around.
I think it was a reckoning, man.
The Russians didn't know the waterways too good, all right? So they needed help moving the shipments onto land.
HIRO: I mean it was easy for someone like Domion who grew up traversing the waterways.
Trouble is, he got greedy.
So he sent the fast boats to the wrong channel.
That's when him and his boys-- that's when they gunned them down.
He was bad enough to take the drugs from them, but to cut the Russians off from distributing the product-- Yeah, I told you.
Russians don't play.
Man, it's amazing to see what this place has come to.
You see that plaque? HIRO: Yeah? This is an old internment camp as well.
My wife's people were interned here.
This is where they were imprisoned, man.
Look at this.
This is what it's come to.
It's true the camp is history, huh? HIRO: And all this is a response to that betrayal.
Look at Domion.
Man, what a mess.
What a mess.
What's up, boss? I've seen atrocities and just terrible things all around the world.
But in your own backyard, man, you start seeing crap like this, it's like you just lose your faith in mankind, man.
For me, as jaded as I should be, it's still hard for me to believe there's people like this out there, and to be honest with you, man, I got a feeling there's a lot of them.
That's horrific.
Seeing something like that changes you.
You can say that again.
No, someone on the inside was already taking care of all of it.
Look, yes it was necessary.
Sometimes blood must be spilt.
The owner of the store, he shine flashlight on us when boat arrive.
You make mistake, I take care of mistake.
If police start looking in my direction, we will be warned.
We're fine.
Plus, look on the news tonight.
You will see that they will say robbery gone bad.
Yes, I'm a little bit of a poet.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
No problem.
I take care of it.
It's my pleasure.
All right.
Yeah, Kane, I appreciate the ride and everything, but this really wasn't the direction I was in.
Really? Do I look like the kind of guy that cares about the direction you're heading in, man? Why you think I'm gonna care about where you're going? KANE: You're going where I'm going, man.
HIRO: Well, where are you taking me then? - Going into town.
- To do what? I got some things to do, and when I'm done with that, I'm gonna take you back to where you're going.
Anything I can help with? No.
C'mon, Kane.
Look, let me help you do your job.
You already got me feeding you info on Harmony, maybe it's time we take it to the next level, no? Right now, to me you ain't nothing but a CI.
- CI? - Yeah, man.
And you know what? You prove yourself to me, you start to act right, then I'm gonna start to teach you.
Until then, man, I'm not gonna teach you nothing.
Just need you to provide me with information.
That's it.
I'm straightening my life out, man.
I'm telling you, Kane, you'll see.
You'll see.
Let me ask you something.
How's it going at the construction site? I'll be showing up.
Sometime's I'll be-- I'll be showing up early sometimes.
You know, few minutes early, make the boss smile sometimes.
Now that's strange because they called me up and told me you never came.
- I didn't show up? - What he said.
- He told you that? - Yeah.
Listen, I just need to rethink my options and everything, all right? Really.
There's something wrong with you, boy.
The only reason why I got you that job was because your mother was a friend of mine, and she said, man, look out for my boy.
So you are sure that those two carjacks are from the same crew, right? GATES: Bet my shield on it, Chief.
Actually, I kind of got into it with one of the carjackers.
- Messed him up pretty good.
- Wow.
Yeah, I tossed him up like a salad.
You know, sometimes you're the dog and other times you're the fire hydrant.
SARAH: Gates.
Gates? Next time you come by here with some information for us, do you wanna leave your uniform at the precinct? We don't like uniforms around here.
It defeats the purpose of the SIU.
- Whatever.
- Whatever? Whatev-- whatever.
Boss, just so you know, the guy he's talking about posted before anyone had a chance to sweat him.
And Juliet and I are already following up on it.
You good? You got them working on it, huh? I'll watch your back there, chief.
Don't worry about it, unless you need another team member.
I'm just saying.
Hello, Elijah.
Pretty young lady, how are you? Since you wouldn't answer your phone to talk to me, I thought I would come by in person.
That was very nice of you.
It was nothing personal, Cynthia.
It's kind of an occupational hazard.
We've got murders and kidnappers and NARCO trafficking-- Yeah, but I called you four times.
Wow, she looks like trouble.
Check her out.
That the scent of jealousy I'm detecting? Jealousy, no.
Concern, maybe.
She got that mad dog look in her eyes.
Yeah, like I said.
Jealousy.
You sure that's me? 'Cause there it is again.
JULIET: Sarah, you smell that? - Uh, yeah.
- What? That's the scent every woman knows.
Smell of a little boy jealous of his daddy.
Hey, keep your minds out of the man's business and back on the case.
Jeez, Mason.
You're starting to sound more and more like him every day, you know that? Really? You think so? Come on, let's go.
Easy, Mase.
Sounding like him and acting like him are two different things, brother.
You're a funny guy, Radner.
Really funny.
GRAVES: Talk to me, Kane.
Man, I think the markings on those bricks are the same as the ones out of Camp Harmony.
So what does that mean? It means it's the Russians trying to get inland, they're trying to get on land.
They're trying to switch from fast boats to fast cars.
Oh, so that's who's doing the car jackings.
That's my opinion.
Well, I'm just on my way to the DE Infoshare.
I'll ask them what they got on it.
Do me a favor, play your cards real close to the vest on this one.
I don't want them knowing too much.
I really don't.
Look, I need this thing stopped, Kane.
When I say stopped, I mean all of it.
From the top guy down.
I understand that.
What I'm gonna try to do is get my folks on the inside of this whole, uh, carjacking deal and see if I can hit the jackpot that way.
Give yourself some support.
I just think we gotta be really careful with auto theft.
I mean, most of those guys in there are kinda wannabe guys that didn't make detective.
They're like glorified meter maids.
And I just don't want all this extra paperweight, ya hear? Let me put it this way, Kane.
You got two days to get me some results.
This thing isn't tied up by then, I'm gonna assign every broken toy in the detective bureau to your task force.
Am I understood? I believe that you would do that to me.
I really do.
I'm only partly joking, Kane.
I need you to find the people responsible for those murders.
It's all over the news, and I don't see it going away any time soon.
I think we're gonna crack it wide open.
Just give me a minute, man, I'll get 'em.
Great.
Thanks, Kane.
All right, what's up? You're gonna love this.
We need a bait car, right? Something nice.
And this little beauty just came in on a dope possession.
It's nice.
Nice ride.
Aw, man.
NARCO already requisitioned it.
Well, that's a shame.
See, 'cause now that's not gonna happen.
You know if we take this, they're gonna be pissed.
Oh, man.
You really worried about the mullet heads in NARCO? I never said that.
Come on, just sit in it.
Give it a try.
Come on.
It's nice.
All right, it's nice.
So what? Keys are in it.
( Starts engine ) Radner, what are you doing? The right thing, man.
Now, you're probably gonna wanna dump down, because you're about to become accessory after the fact.
Why you always do this to me, man? ( Engine revs, tires screech ) JULIET: Are you the only one in? Yeah, the rest of the guys are out doing tow truck storage inspections.
Anything I can help you with? Yeah.
We need to know if there's been any follow up on those carjacking cases.
I didn't know SIU messed with street level stuff.
JULIET: We mess with a lot of things.
A lot of things.
Wow.
I bet you do.
Hey, what're you packing? - Glock 40.
- Really? Can I see? Wow.
Are we issuing those now or is that your own? It's mine.
They just authorized us to carry them, though.
Depends what you like.
Some of the older guys, they prefer the 9 millimeters.
Yeah, you like that better? Holds more rounds in the clip.
I like to have firepower on hand.
Just in case, you know? Yeah.
Firepower.
I like that.
All right, so about those carjackings? What do you need to know? Got any idea who's behind it? Is it one guy? A gang? We're still working it up.
But we suspect a group of guys down on the east side.
They hang out at a club on third street.
Got a name? James.
Of the club, silly.
I don't think that's meant for public assumption.
Do we look like the public? Well, of course not.
But I can't give you guys that information.
Well, it looks like we should come back when the adults are here.
Hey, come on.
You don't have to be like that.
It's not about what I want.
No? That's all right.
We'll just come back when your parents are home.
Well, no need to be a bitch.
Hey, Blondie.
Why don't you give me your number, and you and I can hang out later.
Uh, how 'bout this.
Instead of me giving you a fake number, why don't you give me a fake number so when I don't call it later, you won't feel like such a loser.
Really thought you took a shine to him there for a minute.
Are you kidding me? He's like every first year detective I had to deal with at the precinct.
Now we'll have to go to a supervisor to pull out that info.
No.
Not necessary.
The club he's talking about is Red Velvet.
It was on the file he was reading.
Nicely done.
Hey, Boss.
Kane.
Hey.
How are you? Have a seat.
You okay? No, I am not okay.
The wife served me papers today.
Can you believe it? My second divorce.
It's a occupational hazard, man.
Seems like all us cops, man.
We can never get that part of our lives together.
Yeah, I'm just worried about the kids.
- This program's gonna kill me.
- It's not all dark clouds, man.
Because at least three of those kids are mine.
Very funny.
So talk to me straight, Kane.
DEA wanna share info, but they also want in on the case.
That's wonderful.
No problem.
Fair enough.
I think they just wanna toss in a shared seizure report if you get any product.
I don't care nothing about the kitty.
I care about the bad guys.
I'll share the kitty with any intel.
I'm cool with all that.
Well, there's not much more than a few random tips and known hangouts.
Nothing earth shattering there.
Hey, you never know what's gonna break a case.
All right.
MASON: Hey, I'm just saying.
That car deserves a driver with style.
You should have let me drive it.
Gimmie a break, man.
What're you two arguing about now? - Mase says I dress bad.
- Am I right? He could use a makeover.
A makeover? Come on.
Hey, Sarah, what do you think? I've seen worse.
All right, man.
I got some new intel from DEA.
Nothing earth shattering.
Some possible new trafficking rounds and some new addresses, no big deal.
Well, it's pretty much worthless.
We did get a new name from a middle level drug dealer.
Nikoli Putin.
Apparently he worked for the Moscow folks.
It was his van.
He quickly discovered that narco traficking is much more profitable than government work.
They also say that the murders are probably his work in retaliation, but I'm pretty sure he's our guy.
Any luck on this auto theft deal? Yeah.
They've been watching a club called The Red Velvet.
So anybody looking for a stolen ride, that'd be the place to go.
Well, I'll start to put that team together right away for you all.
Actually, Chief, we were thinking we'd work the inside on this one.
With one of us? No.
Sarah and I can handle it.
Well, I'm kind of old fashioned, so if you all wanna do that, I'll let you do it with a caveat then.
I got a pair of eyes on the inside watching you all.
Yeah, I got the eye, boss.
It's a nightclub.
You don't have the clothes, remember? You're not coming with us, boss? Just got a little personal matter to take care of and then I'll catch up with you all.
Thanks, Chief.
Boss, this about that girlfriend in there? 'Cause I mean, if that's a problem, where can I get me one? You don't want none of this, man.
You don't ever want a problem like that.
Yo, Radner, you got a sec? Yeah, what's up? Hey, bro.
I was just wondering if you could put a good word in for me with Kane.
About what? Making a little room for me on the team.
Could spend some quality time with Sporty Spice over there, eh? Show her what's what, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah.
She's doing fine.
All right, well look.
Wouldn't you rather have a guy watching your six than some split tail like that? I'd take her over you any day, pal.
Hey, I'm just saying, man.
When it hits the fan and it gets hot and you got a little girl watching your back, you're going to be praying for a guy like me.
What was that all about? He wants Sarah's job.
Are you serious? Yeah, I don't think he's been in diversity training yet.
( Loud dance music ) Girls in place.
Copy that.
All right, keep a tight eye on my new girl.
I'm afraid she's gonna try to impress and blow our cover here.
MASON: Will do.
Please.
Champagne.
It's my pleasure, ladies.
JULIET: Why, thank you.
Well, pretty girls should not have to spend money in the presence of so many appreciative men.
May I? Why not? Nikoli.
I'm Kathy.
This is Sandy.
Kathy.
Sandy.
It's so nice to see your fresh faces here.
Can't get any easier than this.
Nikoli just sat down with our girls.
Maybe these girls are gonna prove me wrong, huh? Okay, I'm picking up a white male coming up to our car.
He's not the kind of guy that's there for a smash and grab.
You want me to check it out? KANE: No, no, no.
Let's just watch and see how this plays out.
JULIET: So, what line of business are you in, Nikoli? - Take a guess.
- Real estate? No.
I'm thinking it's something more challenging.
Keep going.
I like this game.
Well, you're wearing a $20,000 Patek Philippe on your wrist, so that means whatever you do, it pays very well.
Women have diamond earrings, designer shoes, purses.
All men have to show they have money is watch and car.
JULIET: Well I'm thinking you're in the export business.
Probably high end stuff.
- Am I right? - Clever girl.
I'm import/export specialist.
My clients are some of richest men in world.
Wow, you're a very impressive guy.
( Inaudible whisper ) Da.
You two are quite a pair.
You're simple, you're sharp and reserved.
Perfect combination to snare man's interest.
I'll take that as a compliment.
You should.
Okay.
Now it's my turn.
You wanna guess what we do for a living? Why not? Okay, give it your best shot.
You two are opposites, so I am thinking that you work together, right? And you, you scan the room when you come in, so I am thinking that you are cautious.
How do you know I'm not just looking for handsome men? Maybe.
No, go on.
You're doing pretty good so far.
You spotted my security team right away and you pulled up in late model Super Charger and no personality.
And what's that supposed to mean? No bumper stickers, no personal items inside.
You looked inside our car? That's kinda weird.
Look, we're just a couple of girls looking to have a good time.
Well please don't be upset.
I'm simply trying to make educated guess what my new friends do for living.
Okay, so make the guess and let's get back to having fun.
Okay.
I am guessing that you two are cops.
Right? That's right.
We're narcs.
Sarcastic.
But I am thinking my guess is on the money.
Your plates on your car expire in December.
Police are run by governments.
Bean counters always looking for ways to save buck.
They don't register undercover cars till end of year so they don't have to pay license fee.
Wow.
You sure you're not a cop? Pretty impressive, huh? Okay, how's this? In radio store they sell simple, little tool to detect radio transmission.
It's not fancy.
If someone tries to send transmission, little box puts out white noise.
Little box started putting out white noise occasionally when that man in back of bar come in.
But when you two beautiful ladies come in, little box started going crazy.
Well, Nikoli, you're entertaining.
Way too paranoid.
Did I say something to offend you? SARAH: No, it's just time for you to go.
Thanks for the drinks.
You're angry.
At least let me pay for drinks.
It the least I can do for two such fine civil servants.
Let's go.
All right, Radner.
Stay with the girls.
I'll pick up Mason when he gets a few blocks away.
Copy.
We totally misjudged this guy.
He just ate us for lunch.
You sure you're not just being paranoid? Believe me, we're sure.
We gotta figure out a better way to get up on this guy.
Did anybody get a look at any of the carjacking crew? No.
It was just Nikoli and his boys.
That doesn't really tell us much.
Was there any pattern to the rips or anything like that? Well, they usually come between the hours of ten and midnight.
Victims are mostly women.
And they'll shoot if there's any resistance.
MASON: Between ten and midnight? That's the PM shift change for the uniform cops.
Smart guys.
So they wait until the cops are headed to the barn.
We need to rip one of these guys in the act.
Build a good enough case so we can flip him on Nikoli.
But how are we gonna do that? A little bit of decoy work.
Maybe.
Who's driving? I think what we gotta do is, get the newbie to jump up and show us what you got.
Good luck, newbie.
KANE: All right, listen here, y'all.
Don't stop nobody that's gonna take up your time.
Don't stop nobody unless you see something that you think is real.
We don't need like, you know, sex crimes or sex offenders or prostitutes or hookers.
You know what we're looking for.
Don't get mixed up.
We're looking for carjackers.
Keep your eyes open, keep your head on the swoop.
JULIET: Pretty quiet out here tonight.
You got anything? SARAH: No, nothing yet.
I'm heading east now.
Maybe I'll connect over there.
JULIET: Sarah? SARAH: Yeah? JULIET: Good luck.
You on scene, boss? KANE: Right, I'm in position now.
Sarah, what's your 20? SARAH: East 56th.
Approaching suspects now.
Got a couple guys watching me.
RADNER: Roll the window down and ask for directions.
Make it happen.
Radner, you do that, we end up booking a couple of opportunists instead of the guys we're looking for.
Here we go.
Here we go.
SARAH: They're taking a pass.
RADNER: Boss should've sent Juliet instead of the newbie.
SARAH: I'll find one.
I got this.
Nikoli's on the move.
KANE: Mason, Radner, tail Nikoli for a few blocks then fall back.
I got an eye on Sarah.
MASON: Copy that.
I'll take lead, Radner.
Mason can handle this on this own.
I'll tail the kid.
Radner, stay on course.
Radner? There's no way to cover this guy with one car and no bird.
KANE: Juliet, pick up on Mason's tail.
Find out where they're headed.
JULIET: Copy.
JULIET: Kane, I lost her.
Do you have an eye? Kane, you copying this? I'm fine.
( Loud crash ) Put it in park, bitch! Gimmie the key, bitch! ( Groaning ) - You all right? - Just another day on the job, right.
KANE: Armed robbery, felony assault against a cop and reckless endangerment.
You're on parole, so you just doubled down.
Talking about probably ten years.
Now if you'd be willing to tell me about Nikoli Putin, I might be able to make some time go bye-bye.
No problem.
He ain't from around here.
I don't owe him squat.
I kinda had a feeling you might say something like that.
All right.
MASON: Why don't they ever flip that easy for me? You ain't Kane.
So what do you think? How'd the new girl do? Her name is Sarah.
And what is it with you and Radner, huh? Just 'cause she's got a nice rack she can't hold her mud? Whoa, whoa.
You got it all twisted.
- Do I? - You do.
And you're right.
She might be the new girl, but, she's definitely good for the team.
She did good, huh? She ain't as good as you.
Of course.
She ain't me.
Yeah.
There's a shipment coming in early this morning.
That's why they're meeting at the club.
Ain't that right? I need real good specifics, you hear? There's a warehouse on Pier number 49.
CARJACKER: I don't know how much product is coming in.
It's enough that they wanted two cars to make the pickup.
But since we took you down, there's only gonna be one, so he knows you're burned.
No, no, he's a crafty Russian.
There are five of us out looking for cars.
First two back in get paid.
As of now, there's still two.
The man's desperate to move his product ASAP and he's gonna take some chances, you know? Once the product's loaded into the cars, then what? We each get a map.
In five or eight hours, get the product across country.
And what happens to those poor bastards that don't make it? I don't know.
Never happened.
Yeah, until you met me.
( Squad room chatter ) Hey, dispatch said you needed me for a transport? Yeah.
Guy's in the holding cell.
All right.
Hey, Chief, can I have a quick word? - Yeah.
- All right.
So this woman keeps coming down to the precinct.
Says she wants to file a complaint about you.
Let me guess.
Her name is Cynthia Chase? Sure thing.
She's a real looker.
If you don't mind my asking, you break her heart? She don't have a heart, but listen.
With a body like that, who cares about her heart, right? You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Do me a favor.
Next time she comes down to the precinct, give her a little bit of one on one time, take her statement, show her a little respect, that'll go a long way, that'll help me out and be good for her.
Yeah, sure thing, sir.
I'll get right on that.
Smooth things over for you.
I'll appreciate that.
What was that all about? About your girlfriend.
Girlfriend? ( Speaks Russian ) All right, heads up, everybody.
These boys are prone to sneak out the back, so heads up.
KANE: All right, it's going down.
I'll cover the back.
( Siren wails ) Hey! Put your hands up! KANE: Mason, I got Nikoli! DEA Agent: Drop your weapons! Do it now! Freeze! Get on the ground! Put your weapons down and get down on the ground! Get down now! MASON: You guys good? RADNER: Yeah.
We're good.
( Groaning ) How do you say "ass" in Russian? ( Knocking ) Come in.
Come on in.
Come on in, y'all.
Come and sit down.
So, you got something good for me? That gun Nikoli pulled on you was tested down in ballistics.
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
We got a match on the Camp Harmony massacre.
So, Janko's good for the grocery store murders, Nikoli for the Camp Harmony job, and his drug pipeline has been cut off through the sting.
Not a bad resolution, Chief.
See, my daddy used to say even an old, blind rooster eat a piece of corn once in a while.
We all got lucky.
That's good stuff, man.
Good work.
Go work y'all.
That's great.
What happened to your head? Newbie can't keep her hands off me.
Oh, give me a break.
You wish.
Well, it looks like the newbie might make it through this after all.
All right, everybody happy? Watch it.
Good stuff.
Cool.
Whoa, God! Everytime I come to see Elijah, you try and stop me.
Do you really think that your going to get away with that? Why don't you just calm down sweetheart? Hey! Did you know that he's coming on to me? That ain't right.
Gates, what's wrong with you, man? I told you to act right.
Chief, don't worry about it.
I got this, okay? Okay, know what? Now I'm filing a complaint against you.
What, your withdrawing Oh! you're filing one on me? You know that girl is certifiable 220, right? I mean, she needs therapy.
KANE: Yeah, I know.
But see, I'm working on it, man.
Look what I got over there.
That oughta get rid of her, don't you think? - I think so.
- You see what I'm saying? The man is unbelievable.
