death, nor life, nor rulers,

nor powers

will separate you and

me from the love of God.

You are loved!

When you're asleep out

there in the streets,

you are loved!

When you're collecting cans for

a nickel each, you are loved!

Oh, wow!

Is this, uh... is this like

your surveillance vehicle?

It's one of them, yeah.

Up, I got it.

Thanks. Stand by...

September fifteen,

eleven hundred o-six,

Paul Jeffries, USASF.

Update on the situation:

individual identified as Hassan.

Was that his first name?

First name Hassan...

You know his last name?

No.

Further investigation needs to be

conducted before determining last name.

Okay. So, when you

had this situation...

this dialogue,

do you remember exactly

what was said?

Yeah.

Okay, good. So, just start

from the beginning.

Tell me word for word.

- It's very important.

- Okay.

Um... I said "hello",

and then he said "hello".

Then I said "I'm Lana",

he said "I'm Hassan"...

And then I asked him

where he was from,

because he looked

middle eastern...

What did he say to that?

He said "My home is not a place,

it is people".

What the hell does that mean?

I mean, I don't really know.

That was it?

Yeah, yeah. Then he took his

food and he walked away.

My home is not a place,

it is people...

That means:
his home...

is people.

Something like that. Okay!

Is this for the Agent Orange?

What?

Mom told me that

when you were in Vietnam

that you had been exposed to

Agent Orange.

Well, your mom was wrong...

It wasn't Agent Orange.

The Defence Department

called it Agent Pink.

But then they probably

realized it was too strong,

so they watered down the dioxin

and gave it a different name.

But I was around

before they did that.

What did it do to you?

Nothing, really.

Paul?

Listen, someone needs to

figure out who killed this guy.

It's extremely important to me.

I can't do it

sitting around here.

You've done well,

you've helped me.

I wanna keep in touch.

Hey, Alimi.

No one is available to take

your call right now.

Please leave a message

after the tone.

Yeah, yeah. Sure thing...

The "business" in question

does not answer their

business phone during

normal business hours.

I'm going in!

Huh!

If I was paranoid,

that would look suspicious.

Check for possible

one-man-submarine, out.

Fertilizer!

Oklahoma...

... with the approaching election

voters will have to decide

just how important

the issue really is.

Reporting live from Sacramento,

this is Stephanie Stevens,

CNB four. Back to you, Ron.

Thank you, Stephanie.

CNB four has obtained exclusive

footage of a downtown

Los Angeles killing that

has the police baffled.

The following footage is of

a graphic nature.

The shelters were destroyed and

one of the men was killed.

There are no suspects

at this time

and the name of

the victim is being

withheld pending notification of relatives.

It's being withheld because

they don't know what it is.

They'll figure it out.

They'll have fingerprints

or something.

I'd say at least half

the homeless that

die on the streets are

never identified.

What happens to them?

They get cremated,

tossed into a mass grave out

at the county cemetery.

But he was murdered!

The least that they can do

for him is to find his family.

He deserves that much!

The truth is,

nobody really cares about him.

Bingo.

Hi boss, I got it!

The name of the

company is, uhm,

IBC International

Boron Chemicals.

They pretty much built the

town of Trona themselves.

How far is it?

Huh?

How - far - is - it?

Oh, how far is it? It's a,

it's about a hundred

eighty miles.

Anyway, the whole

town is, uh,

is built on a dry salt lake,

in Death Valley.

It says that

the company is digging

out all sorts of minerals

and chemicals from the salt flats

and turning them into Boron products.

And get this:
They ship most of

the stuff to China!

China?

China!

You said China.

That's what it says.

What else?

it says that the area was originally settled

in eighteen seventy by this guy John Searles.

His father was from Chicago

and he lived there...

Is the lake bed secure?

Is the factory secure?

Have there been

any reported break-ins?

Do any of the names look Arabic

in the telephone book?

How they transport the Boron to the

coast before it goes off to China?

Well, this is just

a preliminary report.

I was gonna get into

all that stuff.

Good. Because I'm going

there in the morning.

Is that stuff turning blue yet

in the test tubes?

That's gotta wait

at least a half hour.

That's right.

You told me that.

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

I can see that your

Agent Pink is acting up.

It's... it's on your neck...

It comes and it goes.

I can't stop it, you know that.

Oh, yeah, but I also know that

when you get yourself too worked up,

it just makes it worse.

I'm not "worked up".

Alright.

I got you more meds through the

Canadian deal. They're in...

We have a critical

situation here, Jimmy!

We may be dealing with

the major cell!

Our work could be saving thousands

of lives, maybe more!

And you want me to be

calm right now?!

Now is not the f***ing

time to be calm! Okay?!

Okay.

America needs us!

Jimmy, I'm gonna need you for

my C & C on this one.

If I need tags pulled,

if I need to have a background

check or a favour pulled,

I need you to... you need to

stick by that phone!

If I have to reach out,

I gotta know you're

gonna be there.

Alright, I'll be your REMF

on this one, Serge.

The phone will never

ring more than once.

They're trying to

destroy our country!

They're trying to infect us!

I am not gonna let 'em.

I am not gonna let them do it!

You want, uh, a bottle of

Tiger Piss?

Yeah... that sounds good.

Semper Fi!

De Oppresso Liber!

I got a case inside the house.

Good.

Did you know him?

I am just trying to help

find his family.

Okay. Just a minute.

Excuse me!

That was the drive-by killing on

Winston Street, right?

Right.

Still at the coroner's office.

He's been upgraded

from a John Doe, though.

It says his name is

Hassan Ahmed.

A-h-m-e-d?

That's it.

Hassan Ahmed.

Thank you so much.

Any time.

You forgot your phone.

Hey, Paul, it's Lana...

Oh, no, this is uh...

this is Jimmy.

We met the other day.

Hi, Jimmy. Um,

is my uncle there?

I need to talk to him.

No, he already, um,

he already left.

Uh, okay, well,

how can I reach him?

I have some information

regarding a case that

he's working on.

Oh, really?

What... what case

might that be?

The murder, Jimmy...

With Hassan and the Hummer.

Oh... Oh, so you know

all about that, huh?

Yeah.

He already left for Trona

and I guess he'd left

his cell phone.

He left for Trona?

Can you do me a favour?

When you do talk to him,

will you let him know that

I know who the victim was,

and that I need to

speak to him?

Alright. I'll...

I'll tell him.

Well, I appreciate it very much.

Thank you, Jimmy.

Sergeant?

Paul?

Oh, sh*t!

Give me a minute!
