Sinners and Saints

Synopsis: In the gritty New Orleans underbelly, beleaguered Detective Sean Riley is trying to cope with the death of his young son and his failed marriage. Facing a probable suspension from the department, Riley is teamed with a young homicide Detective, Will Ganz, to help solve a series of brutal murders that have plunged the city into a major gang war. The two quickly realize there is something much bigger and far more sinister going on than either could have ever imagined.

Have I ever told you about the penguin

Who crossed the Mojave desert?

Sean,did I ever told you about this? -No

- Sean,did I ever told you about this?

- No

-Can I tell you about this. True story!

-Tell me about the penguin.

Not only that the penguin

crossed the desert, Seany.

But in the middle of summer,

in a 76 Pinto.

Anyway,he was driving along

in his f***ing Pinto

And it starts making these weird noises

that hes never heard before.

So you could imagine,

he gets all nervous and sh*t

"Oh No, no, no, gi, gi, gi."

Is that the car making the noise

or is that the penguin?

The penguin was making that noise.

So as he drives along he decides

to take it into the shop.

So he walks out to

the mechanic and says

Hey there brother!

Hows it goin?

Can you help me out here?

The mechanic looks down and said

Sure litte buddy,

I can help you out...

but Ive got to tell you

Im a little busy right now

its going to take a while.

But theres an ice cream parlor

right across the street

So he walks across the street

Sats down in front of the store

and orders a big beautiful bowl

of vanilla ice cream.

Puts it down in front of him

but theres a problem.

Hes got flippers!

He cant grab a spoon like

you and me, Sean. He cant do it.

Hes looking down in his vanilla ice cream..

"Sh*t, f*** it! He starts diving in,

Diving in with his flippers

He flipping and flopping.

The ice cream is on his chest

On his beak, he is a rabid.

Anyway,he finishes up his ice cream,

walks across the street.

Goes back to the mechanic and goes

So what do you think?

He looks up at him from

under the hood and goes

"It looks like you blew a seal

My penguin says "No, no, no!

I swear it's ice cream...

...It's just ice cream. "You get it?

It is a true f***ing story, man.

Yeah,its a true story...

its not funny story though.

Hey Wyatt,

we are a few blocks out.

You, Trey and Franco got back.

Me and Dave at the front.

Hey remember,this a**holes

got nothing to loose

So you all watch yourselves.

You got it boss,this motherf***er

aint going nowhere.

-Wyatt, here we go. This is it.

-We are here.

Who the hell,man?

What do you want?

Police department.

What the f*** do you want?

What do we want?

For starters,open the door a**hole

Before we kick it in.

Look, dont get all excited.

Youre all in very dangerous place.

Ain't you roll me,I'm trying to figure out

who I'm opening this door for.

Now you know.

Its the f***ing NOPD b*tch!

so open the f***ing door.

B*tch? alright Mr. Popo,

you got it.

Let me see some ID first.

You f***ing kidding me?

Okay, J ... yo-yo... Here it is?

How is that working for you?

Code Red, code red...

I've got an officer down!

Officer down!

Shots fired.. 108

I got you,man.

Come on, mothefucker!

Goddamn it! I need a medic

at Euturp O.C. Hayley

Officer down, I repeat...

I need a medic ASAP.

Stay with me Dave. Stay with me.

Code Red! Code Red!

Officer down!Shots fired... 180.

Officer down!

Dave, don't you f***ing die

Sorry, man...

Reno...

Hang on, Tray!

They are coming.

F***! You motherfuckers!

You f***ed Reno up...

Lets go buddy.

The medic's coming.

It will take a lot more of you

motherfuckers to f*** me up!

F***er!

Look at me, motherf***er!

Look at me.

- Can you believe this?

- So what do we know?

Well,besides this poor bastard, you got

...the grandmother and the mom,

the little boy and his sister.

So what is all this white residue?

It looks like Fire extinguisher spray.

I know this sounds a

little out there.

But based upon the multiple

stages of the burns and the residue.

It looks like they doused him

with an accelerant, then ignited him.

Then they extinguished him.

Then they repeated the entire process

at least two more times.

Who owns the place?

Whose paying the bills here?

Lets see... a Malcolm Varanato.

Varnado? Do you mean

Malcolm Varnado?

Varnado, yeah ok! That's right..

Why? you know him?

He's a reporter for the Picayune.

His big brother

Weddo Varnado...

also happens to be the biggest

drug dealer in New Orleans.

What the hell are you saying?

Meaning?

Meaning... we just stumble into

Something way out

of our pay grade.

I'm looking at it, Mike.

Its right in front of me.

Come in.

I don't care what you all heard.

Truth ain't determined

by a majority vote.

Do you think

I'm exaggerating?

Why don't you all come down

and take ride along

the streets with us.

Well that's convenient?

You can call me back if you

want to pick this up again.

You know, one day...

just one day.

- I wish they would declare open

season

- ...on the politicians.

- yeah. Amen.

- How are you doing, Pete?

- Good...

- Thanks for stopping by.

- Yeah. Anytime...

What's the latest?

What's going on?

Well, a few things.

One of them being a favor

I need from you.

Yeah, no problem.

Shoot.

Its about that reporter for the Picayune.

Yeah, Weddos kid brother.

Yeah, He is in a war path.

Well, Malcolm was his

pride and joy.

So, if Weddo gets to those

guys before we do?

We'll be lucky if we find

anything but pieces.

Which brings us back to the favor.

Homicide requested

somebody from...

...Street crimes to way in.

... to lend them a hand

and your name came up.

Okay, no problem.

Sounds easy enough.

One other thing.

Johnny Tran.

His lawyer claims you

nearly tried to kill him.

I disarmed him.

He has a 6-inch straight razor.

and I think he got off easy.

I've seen the pictures,Sean.

It looks llike he got hit

by a wrecking ball.

Is that what this is about.

Is that why you called me?

Yeah, this is what this is about.

Four complains in

this many months.

Then the shootout.

Your shits out of control.

Are you trying to blame me

for Dave and Trey?

No, no. That's not what

I'm talking about.

I'm talking about what happened to the house after they got hit.

You've seen Internal Affairs out there questioning your boys.

Do you think they're

not the least bit curious

about some son of a b*tch...

at the end of the hallway,

killed at point blank

holding an empty weapon

on his hand?

It doesn't take a genius to

figure out what happened.

Look I know where you at.

I do.

I've been there myself.

you know about that.

But you keep heading

down the path this dark...

and I'll tell you something,son.

... You will never

find your way back.

- Is that it?

- Yes, that's it.

Hey, brother.

What's going on?

Colin?! What the hell

are you doing here?

Whats fine f***er doing out here

How long have you

been in town?

I don't know not long...

a couple of weeks.

Where's the old lady?

Where's Jacob at?

They are not here right now.

They're out of town...

at the folks' house.

Come on,brother.

Lets go get a drink.

No man. Its been a hell of a day.

- I probably going to pack it in.

- oh, you've gonna pack it in.

- Alright, we'll drink here.

- Okay.

Alright... one drink.

- Okay, your buying.
