Officially, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

How about unofficially?

Go see Slava the bomb-maker

that lives in Fremont.

Listen, listen, your boss man here, he's

got a broken nose and a pen in his leg.

He's gonna be fine, it's gonna heal.

I just wanna get out of here, okay?

I just want...

No one gets paid enough

to be a hero here, okay?

Especially not me!

Your boss here is gonna

bleed out in 10 minutes.

Focus on saving your boss.

What? Yeah, yeah, as far as you know.

Okay, where? Where?

Hey, hey, someone recognized the kid,

Anatoly. He's seven.

They ID'd our bomber, Vladislav Pavel.

He lived in the room right above him.

- You call it in?

- No, I guess I forgot to.

I guess it still takes four hours

to get an expedited warrant.

Get anywhere on my Tacoma extortion case?

Yeah, both your Russian nationals

are being held at King County.

ADA was negotiating a plea deal.

ICE got involved.

One of the suspects is wanted for murder

back in Russia so they deported him.

Got any names?

Still waiting for the feds

to send the file.

Well, that's his room.

If you want any of his

sh*t, just let me know.

- Okay.

- I'll get ya a good price.

Looks like he was

applying for political asylum.

Guess it didn't go through.

It looks like someone had quite

the man crush on you, officer.

What?

Is this our kid?

No.

Someone else's.

We need to see your basement.

- Whatever.

- The boy could be there.

- Anyone ever come down here?

- No, just rats.

I don't see Anatoly.

We have to look.

He's not here.

- Where are we going?

- Got the address of a bomb maker.

From a very cooperative Russian diplomat.

Wait, what?

You gotta be kiddin' me.

Hey, someone 'jacked my truck.

That's a $40,000 truck! Damn it!

Hey, just get in, I'll call it in.

Come on, no one saw anything?

Just ride with me, we'll call it in.

This city's a sewer.

There is nothing in our arrest records

about a Vladislav Pavel.

Oh, come on, P-A-V-E...

I know how to spell it. It's not in there.

Why don't you check

the sexual offenders database?

First thing I did, dead end.

Send it to Jennifer Mahr in my contacts.

Mahr, M-A-H-E-R?

H-R, there isn't even

another one in there.

M-A-H-R. Got it.

Good, she can access all of our databases

and we get us a facial recognition match.

We also need to follow up on

the warrant request for the server logs.

On it.

Check and find out whatever happened

to Pavel's application for amnesty.

There's gotta be something in there.

Got it.

This the place?

11391, that's it.

Hello?

Police.

Police, anyone here?

SPD.

Police.

Slava?

Slava?

Slava?

You Slava?

I am Slava.

No last name, like Usher and Beyonce.

Fantastic. I'm Ray.

Middle and last names

both besides the point.

Who is the pretty lady?

She's a police officer.

She's helping me on a case.

We're trying to find a boy.

Oh, very pretty.

Alexander Makarov. He told me

you'd have some information for me.

You know, your friend from

the Russian Consulate?

Yes, Mr. Makarov contacted me.

He's very angry with you.

Said I should blow you up

and mail him your pieces.

Good price, too.

That sounds just like him.

I don't like him either.

He's Russian, I'm Ukrainian, from Kiev.

He was appointed by Putin.

Just wanna ask you about

a bomb you may have built.

Vladislav Pavel.

I made many bombs for many people.

That's what I do.

For people who want to

blow up their bosses

or their boats or

businesses for insurance.

A picture of it right here.

Yeah, it is mine.

Four liter chlorine azide.

Makes a very big boom.

Unstable, too. And there is bias voltage

set up on the harness clasp.

So if you try to remove it, boom.

Looks like he mounted it right.

- How long ago was he here?

- Ten days, maybe less.

He say anything about what it was for?

For getting even.

That's all I know, I don't ask question,

I just build what they want.

Okay, listen, you old, old man.

That bomb that you built is now strapped

to a seven year old little boy

and it's supposed to go off in, oh,

just under an hour and a half from now,

so we don't really have time for this.

So how 'bout I just put this in your mouth

and pull the trigger like

I'm doing a load of laundry.

Then I would be dead.

I would like to help you.

I don't like to kill children.

But I only know what I know.

So if you do find the boy,

you want to immobilize the latch

before you remove it.

And if it makes you feel better,

I never cashed that paycheck

he signed over to me.

I am sometimes not about money.

What check?

What was it?

Noble Custom Cut, Four Harbor Drive.

How you doin', Ray?

You're not returning any calls.

Been kinda busy.

Captain wants to see you.

Well, arrest the guy inside,

he's the bomb maker.

- Cut the crap.

- I'll call him later.

Hey, he wants me to bring you in.

Good luck with that.

There's no answer.

God!

Kendricks!

Guys, hey!

Kendricks, easy, hey,

why are you takin' him in?

Ask the captain.

Come on!

You're lucky you didn't catch a bullet.

Yeah, there's a lot of that goin' around.

You want your rep or

lawyer, I can arrange that.

I don't need a lawyer.

I need to find Vladislav Pavel.

We know where he works. You need to

get Cronin to send a unit there now.

We will. You have a grudge

against this department?

You figure the department owes you?

Yeah, about 200 hours of overtime.

But who's counting?

Is that yours?

Nope, mine's right here.

We found that in your desk drawer.

Yeah, well, it's not mine.

Is that your name

and post office box address?

I don't have a PO box.

How would you describe your relationship

with your fellow officers?

You know what my relationship is.

I work my ass off.

Why don't we go back to

August 7th, three years ago?

When your son died. When he was killed.

At a homicide division picnic.

You don't think I see that every night

when I shut my eyes?

He was playing on the streets, fellow

cop had a few too many, hit him, right?

He was twice the legal limit

with two DU Is under his belt.

And you sued the city for $2,000,000.

How'd that case go?

And then your wife

left you for another cop.

You poured yourself into your work.

A lot of guys didn't like your methods.

Must be carryin' a lot of built-up anger.

More by the minute.

There are 121 phone calls

to the dead bomber

over the course of a

year from your cellphone.

I told you, that's not my cellphone.

The bill was paid with a check from

your account at Dominion Trust.

- I don't have an account there.

- Opened 13 months ago.

Is that your signature?

Detective Baker.

Hello, Julia, this is Jennifer Mahr.

In response to your email,

I am sending you the only Pavel

we have in our database.

But his name is Igor not Vladislav.

He set me up.

Just in case.

Why would he do that?

Do you believe I did this, Al?

Don't you think I'd cover my tracks

a little bit better than this?

If this was my deal,

you wouldn't find a thing.

How long you been planning this?
