The Assassin's Code Page #3

---

you're conducting business

outside of channels,

and I wanted to hear it

from the horse's mouth.

I'm not sure

what you're talking about.

Yes, you are.

You've overstepped your bounds.

The pseudoephedrine.

Look, I was gonna bring it

around to you.

But you didn't.

Have a fig, yeah?

No.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Have a fig, Kenny, come on.

- I don't want a fig.

Come on, I grow 'em myself.

They're good for ya.

[chuckles]

Look, we have this

gentleman's agreement.

There's the hierarchy.

You have not honored

that protocol.

I apologize, Angelo.

You know I would never do anything

to hurt our relationship.

I'd appreciate the situation

not repeating itself.

No, no, it won't,

I promise you, it won't.

- Then we're good.

- We're good?

- Yeah.

- We're good.

That's it, we're good.

No, I'm fine.

You ever tried that?

Nah.

Looks like a geriatric

Bruce Lee movie

in slow motion.

You should try it.

Why ruin this body

with muscles?

It's like lethal force slowed

down into a meditative pace.

Perfect control.

We gotta clean things up

before questions

start getting asked.

So, when?

The sooner the better.

He works late most nights.

Okay.

[dramatic music]

[knocking on door]

Mr. Cohen?

Michael Connolly,

Cleveland P.D.

Just wonder if I could

have a moment of your time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,

come on, have a seat.

Great. I'm looking into last

week's police van holdup.

Oh yeah, yeah, I heard

about that on the news.

What's that got to do with me?

Well, we're checking out

businesses that employ ex-cons.

You got a program, right?

Yeah. Yeah, you know,

I give 'em a second chance,

give something back.

And the tax incentives

don't hurt.

[laughs]

I'm a pragmatist, you know?

Two birds with one stone.

Do you have any idea of anyone

that might have been involved?

What can I say?

They're all ex-cons.

I'm gonna have to ask to

look at your employee records.

- Just see who's working for you.

- You are, huh?

The department would

appreciate your cooperation.

I'll bet it would.

[starts car]

What the...

Damn kids.

[checking radio stations]

- [dog barking]

- Jesus Christ!

Evening, Mr. Cohen.

The man that came to see you

and just left.

Was that a cop?

Aren't you smart?

What's his name?

None of your business

what his name...

[gun clicks]

Connolly. Michael Connolly.

Thank you.

He had a folder with him.

What was in that folder?

He asked me for

some employee records.

It looks better

if I cooperate, okay?

You know, I value integrity.

Something you seem

to be lacking.

Hey, you wanna tell

your poodle

to stop scratching up my car,

you f***in' Kraut?

Do you know who I work with,

huh?

If you touch me,

he'll have your head.

Who do you think sent me?

[barking]

[gun fires]

[somber music]

[camera clicking]

Oh, God.

[Captain] What time

did you leave him?

About 7:
30.

I must have been

the last person

to see him alive.

[Man] Well, next to last,

anyway.

Yeah.

Wasn't a robbery.

Somebody didn't like me

talking to him.

So far no prints, Captain,

but we're still checking.

Wait, I got something.

We got blood and broken glass.

Type this against the victim,

run it through the database

and make sure I see the report.

Right away, sir.

Well, Connolly,

you needed a lead,

looks like you got you one.

Yeah.

[Laura] Okay, so what

are we looking at?

Cohen used Leonetti's

company here, here, and here.

Yup... for shipping.

It's all legit. Michael, we've

got nothing with any teeth here.

Cohen's murders got enough

teeth to question him.

Neutral stuff... did he have any

enemies?

We need hard evidence.

Look, you can't go in

at that level,

- you'd just be poking the bear.

- Copy that, no bear f***ing.

I'm serious, Michael.

Look, the bee stings the bear...

guess who wins?

Back your way

down the food chain.

[Female cop] No.

Nope.

No.

None of 'em.

Yeah, that's the little f***er.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay.

[chatter]

[loud music throbbing]

That was f***in' lit.

Yeah.

What are you doin' tonight?

[laughs]

That's a good question.

What are you doing tonight?

- You.

- Oh-ho-ho!

So I hear you're the guy

to know.

Depends on what

you're looking for.

A little something

to party on?

What else

you got down there, huh?

- There's enough.

- Oh, yeah?

Yeah it's plenty, come on,

we're gonna have a good time,

right?

- Freeze, a**hole!

- Hold still.

[Woman] You're under arrest,

anything you say

can and will be used against

you in a court of law.

But you already got

that memorized, don't ya?

F***. Son of a b*tch.

- [door opens]

- Keller Abrams,

let's skip right to the part

of who was on the holdup team.

- What holdup?

- Points for trying.

You were ID'ed at

the scene of the crime.

In your line of work, you should

learn how to blend in more.

Look, it's late, I want

to get home for dinner.

So, as an unarmed accessory,

I can reduce your sentence

by you cooperating with me.

And if I don't?

Then I've got you

selling illegal narcotics

to my undercover cop...

it's win-win for me.

So what's in it for me?

Well, that says you've got

two priors,

so sentencing-wise this wouldn't

work out too well for you.

Let's just say I'll keep you

out of three-strike city.

Guy I work with

brought me in.

Ray Blaine.

Does he work for Cohen

Construction too?

Yeah, he's not shown up

all week.

Tell me about him.

What do you want to know?

Is he Pisces?

Does he have brown hair?

Take a f***in' guess.

Okay, Ray, and me met up

before with one of the gunmen.

Guy bragged about having

a line in with a bigwig.

Can you put me

in touch with him?

- [cheesy music]

- [man moaning]

Uhh! Ohh!

F***, yeah. Ahh!

- Damn.

- [girl chuckles]

- You are good at that.

- My turn.

Let me catch my breath first,

hmm?

Ohh.

[exhales]

Yeah. [laughs]

Did you paint in here?

[scoffs]

Right.

Like I'd bother with this dump.

We're gonna get a place

of our own, aren't we?

Yeah, baby. Yeah,

once this money comes in,

we'll get a great place.

Maybe a new town?

Ray's gotta find the buyer

for the 'phedrine first.

Did that last bit of info

help?

- Yup.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, it earned me a leg up

with the big man.

- It's gonna pay off big-time.

- Good.

Yeah.

Speaking of, have you heard

anything else?

- First things first.

- What?

Catch your breath yet?

- Oh.

- My turn.

Okay.

Keller's gotta get

Jimmy Marco to say

he was there,

and who else was a part of it.

And that Cohen hired them.

Laura, breathe.

I got it.

- When's he meeting him?

- Ten o'clock.

Okay. Well, let me know

what Marco says.

- Yeah.

- Okay?

Sarah, I told you

you didn't have to stay,

go get some lunch, honey.

I will, thanks.

Hey, Jimmy.

So what's so important

that we gotta meet?

Wondering what we're doing.

I haven't heard from Ray,

have you?

No.

Who do you sell the stuff to?

I don't know.

Are you okay?

- [radio transmits conversation]

- You seem a little off.
