[Singer Trilling]

I told you to stay

the f*** out of it.

Hey.

? Como esta? Gracias.

- [Child Giggling]

- I almost killed somebody out there.

I mean, I had that car wedged

right on the railroad tracks.

Christ, man.

It's a spooky feeling.

Like mainlining

adrenalin, huh?

The rush is really

something, huh?

See? You're

my kind of guy!

You want to hear what I found out

about your famous Monday group?

Yeah, sure.

Can stand a little more pain.

Well, Clark's wife

divorced him...

after he put her

in intensive care.

What'd she do?

Spill some wine on the rug?

Then Sondra, she stabbed her father

with a knife... and a fork.

- She must have been having dinner.

- [Laughs]

One of her husbands

died of unnatural causes.

Probably lost

some body fluids.

And that,

that kid Richie.

That Richie's

been busted for drugs...

and Casey hates

his father so much...

he set the house on fire.

So what do you think of that?

I think it's good.

They should learn to assert themselves.

[Man From Helicopter]

Hey, the house is surrounded.

Come out with your hands up

and your legs spread!

- What the hell is this?

- [Men Shouting]

Happy birthday, Hector!

Hey, Martinez, come on out!

We got something for you!

- Martinez, happy birthday, man!

- Happy birthday!

[Crowd] For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny

- For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good...

- [Crowd Hooting]

[Crowd Cheering]

[Cheering]

- If I had known it was your birthday,

I'd have come by tomorrow.

- Me too.

Estas son

las mananitas

- Que cantaba el Rey David

- [Thunder Rumbles]

Oy. Oigan, ivengan

a buscar el cake!

- Better get your cake.

- IVengan a buscar el cake!

- [Thunder Rumbling]

- [Man] Everybody inside!

How come you didn't

mention Buck?

There wasn't anything on him.

[Thunder Rumbles]

You caught me

at a bad time.

Can we get in

out of the rain?

Have a seat.

[Thunder Rumbling]

I don't like guns.

[Sighs]

- [Thunderclap]

- Oh, sh*t!

[Sighs]

- Was it raining like this that night?

- Yeah.

[Sighs]

We were drivin'...

me, my wife, my daughter.

This guy comes out

wavin', "Stop!"

So I slow down.

My wife said,

"No, not here, Buck.

It's a bad neighborhood.

Besides, the baby's asleep in the back."

And I said, "Bad neighborhood,

nothing." So I stopped.

Never even made it

to the other car.

I could hear the shots being fired,

but my eyes wouldn't open. L...

- [Thunderclap]

- Oh, man!

The rain brought me around.

This heavy, heavy rain.

And I'm on the sidewalk,

and I crawl over...

and pull my way up and...

There are two lateral shots...

to the head for my wife...

and a single shot through

the heart for my daughter.

Oh, Jesus, God!

[Sighs]

Oh, Jesus.

[Groans]

They got, uh...

They got $31.

- [Thunder Crackling]

- The rain nails me every time, man.

- Did they ever find out who did it?

- No.

I think it was some kind

of payback for something.

But that's a long story.

[Sighs]

[Ringing]

Officer Anderson.

What can I do for you?

It's Dr. Bill Capa.

Remember me?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

The Bob Moore murder case.

- I need to talk to you.

- I hope you're an early riser.

I get off at 6:
00.

- Okay.

- [Phone Beeps]

[Hangs Up Receiver,

Keys Jingling]

[Car Door Buzzing]

[Banging]

Hey.

[Laughs]

Busy day?

Can I get you something?

No? Okay.

Oh! I forgot

about that!

[Laughs]

How did you get in here?

Last time I was here, I stole the key.

It was by the door.

- What about the alarm?

- Oh!

- I never thought about that.

- It didn't go off?

No.

Um, did I make a mistake?

You have someone in the car?

No, goddamn it,

there isn't someone in the car!

People are getting killed

around here!

You walk around like

it's goddamn Disneyland!

What if something

were to happen to you?

I just thought that it would be

a nice surprise, that's all.

You don't look

too happy to see me.

[Sighs]

This is my happiness mode.

[Sighs]

- I'm sorry.

- [Sniffles] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Baby, I'm sorry.

This is a very nice

surprise.

- [Laughing]

- Really nice.

I'm sorry.

I'll never take a risk

like that again.

Why don't you take

the biggest risk of all and give me...

- your phone number.

- [Laughs]

Christ, Capa!

I can't have people

tying up the phone lines.

I'm trying to run

a business here.

[Capa] General Patton

comes out of the foothills.

Oh, he's in the swamp.

Oh, oh, he's in the deep abyss.

- Ooh! Ooh!

- And now... Oh, he's having a problem.

- He's up in the Swiss Alps,

ladies and gentlemen.

- [Laughing]

- Fire one. Fire... Oh!

- [Laughing]

[Laughing]

A direct hit!

- Oh, our, our tank fleet is crippled.

- Oh.

Yeah?

[Giggles]

- It's goin' away.

- [Groans]

- How's the submarine fleet?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, please, please.

- I gotta get some sleep.

- Oh, you're chicken.

- [Groaning] I gotta be up...

- You're chicken.

- I gotta be up at 6:00 in the morning.

- You're chicken, chicken.

[Anderson] Nobody told me Buck

was one of your patients.

- [Capa] "Nobody," like Martinez?

- Right.

That's the same "nobody" who

didn't tell me Buck was a cop.

[Sighs]

F***ing Martinez.

That's a can of worms

you don't want to mess with.

- What about Buck?

- Hey, look, you gotta promise...

if I tell you what I know about

this sh*t, it stays between me and you.

And you never heard it

from me, okay? Two, Angelo.

- Why?

- Why?

- Because cops are vindictive

sons of b*tches. Right, Alex?

- Right.

F***ing a**hole.

I don't want to spend the

rest of my career getting

pissed on from above, okay?

- Okay.

- [Laughs Nervously]

Martinez was nailin'

Buck's wife.

- Holy sh*t.

- Yeah. Both these guys

were in narcotics.

And those guys usually stick

together like sh*t on a shirt...

so who knows how long it's been

going on. Anyway, one day, it came out.

In the station, they had this

big fight in front of everybody.

Two days later,

Buck's wife gets blown away.

Jesus Christ!

Was there an investigation?

Of course there was

an investigation.

Martinez was a suspect.

Buck was a suspect.

I mean nobody figured Buck

forgiving her. For a while,

half the station was a suspect.

- [Capa] What do you think?

- I think Buck and Martinez had
