Eleven people? I am an attorney,

I can represent you. I have card.

Don't hurt nobody. We don't wanna

hurt nobody. Easy, big fella.

- Where's the car keys?

- Car keys?

Right. I need the car.

We're getting out of here.

- Easy, easy, easy.

- No car. No car. You have my wife.

Go get the car keys!

I'm your friend. Listen. I'm your friend.

- You are in direct violation of code five.

- What are you doing?

I'm doing Robocop.

You need to stay in character.

- Would you come on.

- You need to stay in character.

- Outside. Outside.

- Just...

You're a terrible police officer.

You know that?

- Where's your car?

- In the garage. On the side. In the garage.

- All right. I'm taking the dame with me.

- Hey, man. Hey, man, take me.

Take me, man. Take my gun.

I feel your pain, bro. Me. I feel your pain.

- All right. I'm taking the cop with me.

- Okay.

That is what I'm talking about.

Meryl motherfucking Streep, baby.

- Totally in character, totally believable.

- You were terrible.

Eleven people? You killed 11 people today?

And why did you smack me?

I was in the moment...

...and the moment said smack you.

- You can't be all the time trying to slap...

Jesus Christ!

- Who the f*** are these guys?

- It's the dude from the store!

What the...?

Oh, the hell with this sh*t!

What the...?

A goddamn cemetery? Well, that's

just f***ing great, Paul. Really.

All we gotta do now

is just hop out of the car...

...and we can hop in a f***ing grave.

- Hop.

Hold the car still.

- Let them have it, baby.

- Sh*t.

Now's a good time to do something.

Yeah.

- This is a pretty goddamn popular car.

- Let's find out why.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Are you all right?

Hold on.

Look. Police. Paul. Police.

- Paul. "Jimmy."

- "Jimmy"?

Gabriela.

Grabiela?

Gabriela.

Let's just get her to a washroom.

GABRIELA:

- It's gonna be okay.

- It's okay. It's okay.

JUNIOR:

You lose the Mercedes.

You lose the girl.

And you get Juan killed.

My baby brother.

What?

Five grand's not enough, man?

What, I gotta up it?

F***ing 20 Gs.

Those putos go anywhere

with that girl...

...man, I wanna know.

I'll take a order of spicy carrots

and some guacamole.

What? How's me eating gonna hurt?

Chimichinga with shredded beef.

No food, Manuel. I need your help

over here with something, all right?

Of course, Jimmy.

- Spicy food.

- It's not just for me, it's for the table.

Listen, Manuel...

Manuel, this is Gabriolo.

Gabarolo. Gabarolo.

And she's in trouble.

We need you to interpret her story

and let her know we're here to help.

But we need to know

what happened to her.

Okay. All right.

She's really scared.

We need to talk

somewhere private. Now.

- All right.

- Yeah, let's go.

Yes. Well, I...

Got something.

Got something, Ray. It's really big.

I am about to seriously blow you...

...away.

- Right, well, I appreciate it very much.

All right. Bye.

- I'm sorry, you were saying something.

- Got a ballistics match.

Uh-huh.

Now, from the gun

found on the dead banger at the cemetery.

- Now, that gun.

- Look at that.

- This gun...

- That's a gun.

It's in a bag.

- is registered to none other...

...than Detective Paul...

- Hodges.

Damn. How did you know?

You been in the bathroom all day.

Look what I have,

a picture of the crazy clown right here.

Okay. Gabriela was the mistress

of one of Mexico's biggest drug dealers.

- The one who got killed?

- She went to the police...

...and they tried to kill her in her home.

They killed her sister.

Her brother, he paid a man

to get her across the border.

When she was going across,

that coyote sold her out.

Some men put her in a plane.

Then they put her in the trunk in a car

for two days.

And you know the rest.

I'll be right back.

Get me a shirt, will you?

So my daughter's getting married.

It's a guy named Ronald.

He's nice to her,

he's nice to my daughter.

When my daughter was born, the first thing

that she did, the moment she was born...

...she winked at me.

Can you imagine that?

A little infant doing that?

She was trying to tell me

everything was gonna be all right.

Always made it easy for me.

Even in divorce.

Always made it easy. Easy-going kid.

Really...

I just want her to be happy, that's all.

Her mother thinks I'm a jerk-off.

She hates me.

That's why I gotta get this card back.

You know, I just gotta...

One time, I gotta do the right thing...

...and give my daughter this wedding

that she wants.

And then I won't look like such a jerk.

You know what I mean?

Jimmy.

Okay.

How many guns did you get?

This is the hidden nanny cam

that I had in my bedroom.

And I can't watch what's on here

so I need you to press play.

No.

No f***ing way.

- Come on, Jimmy.

- I am not looking at that.

You are insane, Paul.

You have a wife in that house

that loves you.

And you put a camera in her bedroom.

You have actually gone nuts.

But I'll tell you something right now,

I'm not looking at it.

No.

- Please?

- No.

Please?

Don't show me the bear.

Don't show me the bear.

Hey, honey.

Mind your business back there, all right?

- You don't even know what she said.

- Neither do you. Put the f***ing bear down.

You know what she said?

She said, "Please, Jimbo.

Please look at what's on there,

on this tape.

My master's hurting so bad in his heart.

- Please?"

- You've lost your mind.

You are insane.

I'm gonna regret this, I know it.

- There's nothing on here.

- Yes.

- Yes. Yes, you mother...

- Here.

Take your bear, take your bear.

Put it in the bag.

- Can we go now?

- Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, thanks a lot, buddy. Okay.

That was my guy at the FBI.

He says he can help,

but he can't be here for another 24 hours.

So until then,

we watch the girl and wait.

So I guess I just

kiss my card goodbye, huh?

- Jimmy, forget about the card for now.

- Think I'm gonna forget Ava's wedding?

You know I want Ava to have the wedding

that she wants. But right now...

...my focus is on keeping Gabriela alive.

- Think I'm not?

Not when every word coming out of your

mouth is, "My card, my card, my card."

Jimmy, we're not done yet.

- Yeah.

- Jimmy, it's Hunsak...

- It's Barry Mangold. I'm here too, brother.

- Nice. You know what time it is?

Listen, we found a gun

on a known murderer.

Way to go, Sherlocks.

It's registered to your partner.

We know Paul's dirty.

Meet us at the Ladder in 20 minutes.

Yeah.

All right.

Going after the card, aren't you?

- I'm not gonna do this with you now, Paul.

- Chrissakes, Jim.

Ava will be just as happy

if you let Roy and Pam pay for the wedding.

- Just stay here and watch the girl.

- What if Poh Boy put a tail on you?

I'm not gonna let you

jeopardize Gabriela's safety.

You stay here or you stay away.

- Don't know what you're

talking about, Paul. - Hey, Jim.

- He came.

- He had to.

Up past your bedtime, huh, Mangold?

- Zing.

- All right. Thanks for coming, Jimmy.

We need your help on something.
