Countdown

1

You have to finish everything tonight,

you understand?

Yeah, what you doing, huh?

Yeah, with a stick of chalk, huh?

Repaint everything, I'll check later.

Stop drinking coffee, go back to work.

Yeah.

Can I help you?

We're lookin' for Nikolai.

Who are you?

We're the guys lookin' for Nikolai.

What do you need him for?

Some business.

Business?

I am Nikolai.

How may I help you?

We were told you could help us

with some hard to find items.

Need a tugboat? I build tugboats.

I build the best tugboats in the world.

You have a drawing?

I can't build without a drawing.

Listen, didn't Sasha Rousse

tell you we were coming?

Who is Sasha Rousse?

Why you so nervous, officer?

First time undercover, eh?

You sayin' this guy's a cop?

Yeah.

I think this guy is a cop.

And cops come in pairs, I have heard.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

I got $200,000 here,

you wanna do business or not?

Call Sasha Rousse, ask him.

If he's not cop, I'm not Russian.

All right, ladies are gone.

Wanna do business or not?

What the hell am I doin'

here, wanna get down, brother?

Yeah.

Right, then let's start

doin' business here.

- 200,000.

- No problem.

Just shut up!

Shut up. Listen, I know this guy a week.

He told me he'd finance the buy

so I could turn this stuff around.

Sasha Rousse introduced us.

I barely know the guy.

I barely know any...

Hey, hey, hey, take it easy.

I just want what I came for.

Look, I build boats, okay?

I know what you do. I know who you are.

I can smell the gun oil in here.

What, you think this guy's a cop?

- That what this is?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Think he's a cop?

- Yeah.

There, he's a dead cop.

Now can I see what I came for?

Why not shoot the cop in the head?

Like a real soldier.

'Cause I'm not a soldier.

Too messy, all right?

Stop the heart, stop the bleeding.

At least that's what I find.

Course, you wanna do it yourself.

Go right ahead.

Come with me.

You want my guns?

I have guns.

- All right, excellent.

- Choose.

- Sig-556?

- Break action stock, yeah.

Now we're talkin'.

I like this. What else you got?

Car-15.

Has perfect stock.

Yeah, you're right. How many rounds?

- 1,050 rounds per minute.

- This works.

This'll sell good on the streets.

- .223 ammunition?

- Yeah.

Excellent, K-grip, too, I like this.

This'll work. Got anything

a little bit lighter?

Yeah, G-36.

Nice light, gentleman rifle.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

You like this baby.

I like it a lot.

Excellent, how much

for everything? I want it all.

You have buyers lined up, huh?

You puttin' 'em up for

adoption or are you sellin' 'em?

- How much for everything?

- Yeah, I like that.

If you ever want real job,

you come see me, man.

I already got a job.

Mine pays better.

I believe that.

But every once and a while,

I get to stick my foot

up some KGB wannabe,

cheese ball, Russian gangster's ass.

Nothin's better.

Nothin's better than seeing the jaw drop

on some communicable disease like you

when he realizes he's been had

like a three dollar hooker.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

Okay, all right.

You know how goddamn close

this came to missing my vest!

You were reachin' for your gun.

He knew you were a cop, relax!

If you missed my vest

you coulda killed me!

You were gonna blow the whole thing.

You should be in the

back of that van, man.

You got a screw loose up there.

It was a .22, man, relax.

Looks like I'll be workin' alone again.

You always were workin' alone.

How 'bout a smile, lieutenant?

Whatever, b*tch.

Discharging a firearm in the

direction of a police officer.

That's wrong.

Wrong?

Didn't shoot in his direction.

I shot him in the chest like

we're taught at the academy.

Ray, I've done my best to ignore you.

And up until now, I've done

a pretty damn good job of it.

You went through six

partners in two years.

Thank you.

I shrugged it off.

I get phone calls complainin' about you

and you know what I do?

I don't call 'em back.

Because I don't have

an answer to the question.

What question?

Why the hell are you still here?

That question.

Come in.

You know Special Lieutenant Baker.

Who doesn't know the dream crusher?

Oh, that's lovely,

I've never heard that one before.

- Nice to see you, lieutenant.

- You as well, detective.

Still workin' hard to put your

brothers in blue behind bars?

Only if that's where they belong.

I was appointed by the OPA to bring

this department into compliance.

- OPA?

- Office of Professional Accountability.

Ooh, sounds serious.

It is, it is, very serious.

It's a civilian review board.

They're the ones who police the police.

And they do not like me.

They just don't really like it when cops

shoot civilians or other cops.

Without just cause.

Without probable cause

to believe the suspect poses

a significant threat of death

or bodily injury to the

officer or others, yeah.

You know, you're cute.

Oh, okay, thanks.

You're cute, too.

In a sort of felony,

DUI, mugshot kind of way.

Were you being sexist?

Inappropriate.

We're done here.

Sit down.

- I'm fine standing.

- Sit down, Ray.

Sit down.

I'm a bottom-line kind of guy.

I don't give a damn about much

except how many cases you clear.

Me, personally, I don't care

why you did what you did.

But, unfortunately for you, OPA does.

Meaning?

Meaning you are hereby suspended

with pay from active duty.

Pretty sure I wasn't talkin' to you.

Well, that's okay, I was definitely sure

I was talking to you.

You have 30 days to

appeal your suspension.

You should talk to your union rep.

But we will be moving forward

with a misconduct investigation

that will, in all likelihood,

result in your termination.

I'm gonna need your badge

and your gun, detective.

Immediately.

Stan.

It's out of my hands, Ray.

Just enjoy the "with pay" part.

I just took 200 guns off the street

and shut down the biggest

arms dealer in this state.

- Know why I do it?

- To feed your overblown ego.

What a world we live in, huh, Stan?

Top brass cares more

about coverin' their ass

and not gettin' sued than

actually catchin' the bad guys.

And you're just worried

about gettin' your pension.

Am I right?

Walk away, Ray.

Before you say somethin' that

you're really gonna regret.

I'm done.

That went really well.

Another one for the collection.

Heard you got suspended.

Shot your partner.

Hey, you gotta do what it takes, right?

- You kill him?

- Flesh wound.

Shot him right where his

heart would be if he had one.

This is last month's.

Same results, no prints,

same paper, printer.

No saliva, no DNA.

Same demand.

$2,000,112 and 35 cents.

Yep, and now it makes it

our one year anniversary.

Aren't you even a little curious?

I mean, who this guy is?

At the end of the day, it'll be more

nothing in my giant pile of nothings.

Hey, yeah, I just got home.

No, lemme just take a quick shower

and get changed and I'll see you there.

Yeah, I'm fine, it was a good day.
