like David Hagan.

Why do you represent him?

Why do I represent him?

I drop a man like David Hagan,

and he kills me,

then he kills my whole family

and then he kills my dog

just for the heck of it!

I didn't come here to harm you.

I never wanted to kill anybody.

Even Hagan.

But I cannot let him take

the lives of the people

that I love.

Do you understand that?

What are you gonna do? Huh?

How are you gonna get to him? He's got

a whole army around him at all times.

I got to you, didn't I?

Look, I've come this far,

I can finish this.

Just tell me where he's gonna be.

I know where he goes some nights.

Tonight.

Mmm, I bet you're wishing

you hadn't come alone.

That's not what I wish.

I'm gonna tell you

why I brought you here.

It's 'cause I'm confused.

You know, I'm wondering

why you didn't do anything

about those friends I lost.

That's one of the seven deadly sins:

sloth,

failure to utilize

your talents and gifts.

The news says

it's looking like homicide.

Yeah, it was homicide.

I just haven't gotten around to it.

I've been a little busy with the trial.

Oh.

Have you heard from your witness?

Yeah.

Looks like he's been a little busy too.

I'll tell you what:

we oughta skip the trial.

You'll save some time,

kill me.

Come on.

I won't blame you.

Every man's got his dark side.

Just shoot me.

Come on.

What's the matter?

Your gun broke?

No.

It works just fine.

Justice. You see,

there ain't enough of that

going around for the white man.

Yes.

Not enough of that going around

for murderers either.

I'm gonna kill that boy.

I'm gonna

bleed him out like a sow.

I lost a lot of good people.

And that hurts me.

It does. It really does.

And you know

what that's like 'cause,

as I recall, you--

you lost some good people, too,

some friends

I've been told.

Yeah.

Close friends.

You're not gonna kill anyone else.

Hey, cry baby.

Come on, get up.

Get up off your ass! Get up!

Get up off your ass, go!

As you can see, it has been

a bloody day in Long Beach.

A long simmering feud

between the Eastside Grips

and a rival white-power gang

has now exploded

into all-out warfare.

It began last night with the slaying

of three soldiers of Aryan crime boss

David Hagan,

and there have been multiple...

Adam, you've got

a Marshal Durham here to see you.

So really a horrific

bloody crime scene out here.

Now back to you in the studio.

Has anyone approached you

recently about Jeremy Coleman?

Look, it'd be weird if I had

heard from him, right?

It happens.

Witnesses get distraught,

they make mistakes.

I keep them safe from everyone,

including themselves.

You know Jeremy lost

his folks when he was young?

That was one of the things

he loved about this job.

You know, it feels like a family.

But I worry about him

because even though this

feels like a family, it's not really.

Now you gotta have more

in your life.

Look, if he--

if he did find someone

that he really cared about...

I think he would

do anything for her.

Things that might even

be hard to accept.

Where is he, Adam?

Look, if I do hear from him,

do you have a card or something?

Yeah, I do and normally

I would give you one

and tell you to call our field office,

but I'm not here officially.

I'm trying to keep this off the books.

And I have until the end of the day

and then no one can help him.

There.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks so much for waiting.

Do you know where

the Loam Motel is?

You bet.

Talia.

You wrote this in case you died.

And when I read it,

I thought you already had.

So now I know exactly

how it feels!

Look, I had to do this.

- Now you have to stop.

Hagan will never stop,

do you hear me?

He's never gonna stop. He's gonna

keep coming for you and for me

and your family.

My best friend in the world

is in the hospital right now.

Hey, look at me.

I love you.

And this is what it's gonna take for us

to be together, do you hear me?

Yes.

I've had to do some awful things

the last couple of days,

but you're worth it.

Do you understand me?

The police know that it's you!

Lieutenant Cella, he figured it out.

And if I don't get you out

of Long Beach by 6:00 p.m.,

he's gonna put your face

on the wire.

Look, I let you in.

I can't go back to no one.

We can have a life together, but--

I can finish this.

- No.

Just let me finish this.

- This isn't you.

Please, tell me this isn't you.

Leave with me.

Please.

What what what what?

Oh my God,

what did you do?

Stay here, okay? Just stay

right here, I'll be right back.

No no no no! Jeremy!

Jeremy!

Think!

Cella.

It's quitting time.

You should go home.

You really think so, Jeremy?

You think it's quitting time?

Look, just one more night.

All right?

Let it play out.

Kid, you left a fingerprint.

Lieutenant, if I don't finish this,

she'll never be safe.

They found a fingerprint.

Do you understand

what that means?

That means they're gonna find

more forensic evidence.

They're gonna put you away.

You can't do this by yourself.

Yes, I can.

I have no choice.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Just let it happen?

You've reached the voice-mail

for Lieutenant Michael Cella,

Gang and Narcotics Division.

Please leave a message

after the tone.

Hey, I'm coming to you.

I'll be at your office as soon

as I can find a cab--

You do what you have to do,

but tonight David Hagan

is going in the ground.

Wait! Wait!

I'm over here.

Where is he, huh?

Where is he?

Yeah?

David Hagan, current location

Hey, do me a favor

and leave your phone on.

I wanna hear this.

- Jeremy?

Jeremy!

Listen, boy, you should not want

what you cannot have.

Oh sh*t!

Oh sh*t!

Jeremy!

I'm in here!

I'm in here! Damn it!

Talia!

Talia!

No!

Jeremy!

Talia!

We gotta get out of here.

Okay, come on!

Stay with me.

Okay, come on.

Come on, stay low! Stay low!

Okay, come on. Let's go.

Stay with me.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's keep moving.

Jeremy!

Jeremy!

Come here, boy!

I'm over here!

Almost, boy.

Almost.

You were almost

strong enough to pull it off.

But your girlfriend Talia,

she's gonna die.

Die, boy!

You know what I think?

I think you just didn't

love her enough.

No.

Son of a b*tch!

Die, boy!

He's gone. Come on.

Let's go, let's go.

- Yeah.

I need you to trust me.

Do everything that I ask

and I promise we'll survive this.

Do you trust me?

Yeah.

Did they find anything

at all in that building?

The entire building was torched.

Nothing useful.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
