Countdown Page #3

Frank, how many things

I cleared up for you?

Take a good long look.

Old school Russian gang tats.

Snake on the neck.

Says he's a drug addict

or was a drug addict.

The mermaid says the dude's

a rapist or a child molester.

That's all I can tell ya.

Uncuff him.

Handled yourself pretty well in there.

- For a girl?

- Yeah, for a girl.

Course now the Angels are clockin' ya.

How does it feel to have

a target on your back?

I don't know, like Tuesday.

Every cop in the department

has a target on my back.

They shoot better than Skulls.

Look, Ray, you gotta know more than anybody

how important it is to police the cops.

You can't be above the law.

Your real family's more important

than your family in blue.

Really, you're gonna

lecture me about family?

- Why are you doing this?

- Doing what?

This, working this case.

Throwing what's left of

your career out for it.

You know I have to

document everything you do

and all the many,

many rules that you break.

- 'Cause it's your job, right?

- 'Cause it's my job, that's right.

You know why I do this job?

I do actually believe in the system.

You know what's funny is you used to, too.

I know that. Read your file.

Maybe we got off on the wrong foot.

- I... I don't...

- You don't what?

Look, you want my badge

when this is done, fine.

Five hours, nine minutes,

11 seconds, it's yours.

What do you need?

There's an extortion ring I busted in Tacoma

about a year ago, Russian nationalists.

They're involved in everything

from auto insurance scams

to medicare fraud. Check my case file,

see if our bomber

comes up anywhere in there.

Our guy's low-end, he's an immigrant.

Go check the area around James and Mester.

Someone'll know him, and bring

a picture of the kid, too.

Someone should be able to identify him.

- Where are you going?

- See a man about a boat.

And here I was all this time thinkin'

the justice system actually worked.

It does. If your lawyer costs

you eight bills an hour.

Got to love America.

Amen to that.

How much you got on you?

Can you reach for your wallet now?

- What do you want?

- Russian military grade explosives.

Who deals in 'em?

You come into my house.

You threaten my family.

I'm just threatening your windpipe.

Thanks for the idea.

Family might work.

Man this is fun, huh?

See, no slow-moving parts, no ammunition.

What do you think?

Alexander, Alexander Makarov.

If it's military... it comes through him.

Where?

Russian Consulate.

He's at the Russian Consulate.

You tell this, Nikolai,

I'll come back for you.

And you won't have to worry about

your family being threatened.

They'll already be gone.

Hey, it's okay, it was just a bear, okay?

Just go inside and play your video games.

Have you guys seen,

do you recognize this kid?

- No.

- You've never seen this kid?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Hi, I'm just wondering if

you recognize this kid.

Do you, have you seen this, this boy?

Do you recognize, do

you recognize this boy?

Excuse me?

Yeah, he's a little boy,

have you seen him?

- Do you speak English?

- I speak English.

- You do?

- Yeah.

What, do you know where?

Come with us, come with us.

Okay.

Where, across the street?

Where are we going?

Tell him, tell him I don't

care if he's here illegally.

I just wanna ask a few

questions about his son.

Okay?

I just, I just wanna

talk about your son, sir.

I just have a few questions.

Hey, who is this?

He's Anatoly, he's seven years old.

Anatoly, his name's Anatoly?

He's seven years, okay, good.

This is your son, right?

When was the last time you saw him?

Are you scared, I think he's scared, I...

Tell him I know that he's scared,

not to be afraid,

I'm not gonna arrest him.

Okay, I'm just trying to find his son.

But I don't have much time.

No jail?

No, no, no jail, no.

Look, this guy, who's this guy?

Do you recognize him?

That man was supposed to take

Anatoly back to Russia last week.

He had to be in Volgograd

with his grandmother.

Okay, okay, but he's

not there, he's not there.

Phone calls to Volgograd

are real expensive.

And he just found out

that he wasn't there.

Okay.

What is the name of the

man who took Anatoly?

What are you doin' in here?

Police, Special Lieutenant Julia Baker.

- What are you doing in here?

- I'm the owner.

You got a warrant,

Special Lieutenant Julia Baker?

- I'm on an active case.

- Have you got a warrant?

I can get a warrant,

I can get lots of warrants.

I can get the fire marshal,

I can get the health inspector.

I can get INS if that'll make you happy.

You don't got a warrant, you gotta go.

I'm sorry, he's not hearing me,

do you need?

I can translate, she can translate for me.

You don't intimidate me, lady.

I don't care who you are,

I don't care if you're a cop

or my ex-wife or the health department.

You don't come in here without my

permission and harass my tenants.

You guys are doin' this all

the time and it's bullshit!

I'm tired of it, you gotta go.

I can leave, I can leave.

I can also bang down a couple of these

doors around here just for the hell of it.

See what I find. You know

what I bet, I bet there's lots

of terrified illegals hiding in here

who have no other choice

but to live in this shithole

with a slumlord, because

he takes advantage of them

'cause he knows they probably can't

rent very many other places.

And you may be paying off

people at Building and Safety.

I guarantee you, I can get this

place shut down in 24 hours.

You can go to jail. Your filthy little

lawyer won't even hear from you

before you've had a chance to spend

one fun-filled night in a cell block

with a man named Marcus in King County.

How does that sound?

What?

That's the name of the man that was

supposed to take his son to Russia.

Vladislav Pavel.

He's the photo on your phone.

He lives in this building.

You have anything metal on your person?

- Just this.

- Gun!

Makarov?

- I don't...

- Where?

- I don't.

- Where? Where?

- Upstairs.

- Room.

- Room!

- End of the hall.

Who are you?

The guy who decides

if you live or die today.

Sit down, down!

I am Russian Consul General.

I have diplomatic immunity.

Funny, you don't look immune.

A good friend of ours, Nikolai Koskei,

he swears on his life that you dabble

in stolen Russian

military weapons, plastics

- chemicals, explosives.

- No!

Among other things.

Now normally this type of information

would go to the proper channels.

An investigation would take

place, payoffs would be made,

and you'd go about your business

minus a couple of bucks.

But today's a little bit different.

You see, some Russian junkie strapped

a whole lot of your explosives

to an innocent little boy and it's

gonna go off in less than four hours,

which is four more than you're gonna live

if you don't give me the name of someone

who would build a device like

that no questions asked.

You're a dead man. Do you know this?

I'm a hard guy to take down.
