Step away from the car!

What's your problem, mate?

We don't want any trouble.

You don't want any trouble?

Well, you got f***ing trouble!

What the f***?

What are you doing? What's going on?

You tell me, mate.

Go and get the car.

No, wait, we've gotta figure...

- Go and get the car now!

- Okay.

They... They're f***ing dead!

You've got exactly 30 seconds

to tell me where she is.

Otherwise, you're gonna end up on the

f***ing floor dead like the rest of them.

- You got me?

- Yeah.

- Where is she?

- She's...

She's on Wilshire, I can take you.

- You're coming with us.

- Okay.

Silver one, right there. Get in.

Just try and get us

there in one piece, yeah?

Are you kidding me? We're

fleeing the scene of a crime!

Well, then, try not

to make it so obvious!

Directions, where are

we going? Tell her.

Go over LaureI Canyon.

When you get down to Wilshire,

hit the 101 South, downtown.

And then, I'll show you from there.

So why they after you?

Most Industries is a front,

okay? It doesn't exist.

It's a shell Internet company.

They steaI people's identities.

Explain to me how.

Credit cards, payroll cards,

and they put, like, $5,000

to $10,000 on the cards.

They sell them to guys

like me for half price.

And then I sell them at

the club, that's what I do.

You expect me to believe that sh*t?

I swear to God, I'm

telling you the truth.

That's what we do.

So, tell me, how is

my daughter involved?

You'll have to ask her yourself.

Don't worry, mate, I plan on it.

Detectives.

All right, so, we got the

call about an hour ago.

Witnesses reported a fight broke out

outside the club, and spilling out here.

And no one can confirm

spotting any of the victims

before they were found

Iying right there.

Description on the assailant?

It all happened so fast,

what we got is spotty at best.

Spotty what? Spotty whites,

spotty blacks? Spotty Hispanic?

Uh, Caucasian

male, 40's, large build.

One of the bartenders said he

had some sort of crazy accent,

so he definitely wasn't from here.

He was seen chasing after

the guy who ran the club,

a guy by the name of Ricky Cummins.

You got any IDs on the victims?

No, no wallets, no cash,

they've just got their own prints on them.

Talk to security, find out if they

had cameras on top of the doors

or is there any kind of surveillance

on the exterior of the club.

Will do.

I want to find out where

these guys came from.

- Run down that Ricky.

Ricky Cummins.

Will do.

Double tap is within a few

centimeters of the first shot.

Accent, military precision,

leaves us with about one choice.

Yup.

Call dispatch, get a couple black and whites

out to the residence of Karl Schuuster.

Tell them we'll be following.

You got it.

Are you sure about this?

Of course, I'm sure about this.

This is the safe house, buddy.

We set it up a month

ago when she got popped.

- So how do we get inside?

- We don't get inside.

Remember when I was running

through the parking lot?

I had the phone, I threw it?

That's the only connection we have.

You can't get inside right now.

- Stay here.

- Stay here, what?

You can't get inside, I'm telling you.

What do you want?

Go and tell Sam that daddy's

here to take her home.

Man, it's late, all right?

And I don't have

time for your bullshit.

Get the f*** out of here

before I call my boys down.

There's nobody here by that

name, you got the wrong address.

Sam! Sam!

Sam!

Wait, wait... Where are you...

Sam!

Sam!

Dad?

What are you doing here?

We're with him.

What?

- Where is he?

- Back there.

All right.

- No, that would not be the case.

- I got it.

- Uh, Detective Michael Klein.

- How you doing?

This is my partner, Det...

Hey, uh, look, I was just

telling your man over here

that, uh, I have the utmost

confidence in my security system here

and, uh, as you can see, I really

have no need for officers here.

I don't think you understand

the severity of the situation.

We are tracking a suspect who's

involved in a shooting on the West side.

Left three people dead.

Now his description very

closely resembles the man

who was arrested in your

office earlier today.

Well, why would you

think he'd come here?

He believes his daughter, who

used to work for you, is missing.

Miss Walker was found dead of a

drug overdose about a week ago, no?

It's not public knowledge.

Well, I'm sure it's not.

I had this little conversation

with a lieutenant earlier today.

Chatted a bit.

Well, that case is

still pending a review.

Yeah, right.

Well, I mean, it could be, uh...

Of course, this is my view,

just one of the normaI cases where

these young kids come in here.

Want to be attractive, people who

look for their fame and fortune,

and, uh, things don't work out and they

leave about as fast as they got here,

except they look a

little worse, you know?

Yeah, that happens.

Mr. Schuuster, you may

still be able to help us.

Have you ever seen these men before?

Um, no, no, I can't say that I have.

Listen, I really appreciate you

looking out for my best interest,

but, uh, you'll have to excuse me.

There's, uh... I have some speciaI

guests I'd like to attend to.

I don't blame you, yeah.

Tell you what, we'd like to

keep a couple officers out front,

in case this suspect...

No, no, that's really not necessary.

Just the same.

Okay, then, well, you'll just have

to submit a request to the board, uh,

you know that oversees these estates.

Uh, that would be, I think, the

first Tuesday in every month.

Anyway, you guys have a

nice night, nice meeting you.

Hi, girls.

We're happy to have you back.

Did you miss me?

Well, I'm happy to be here.

- You believe one word of that bullshit?

- Not one.

Call Judge Booth, see if we can get

authorization for a surveillance team.

- At this hour?

- Let's wake his lazy ass up.

Thanks.

Mmm.

Excuse me for a minute, will you, honey?

The last contact was severaI hours ago.

It seems they've completely

fallen off the grid.

Listen, gather everybody we got.

I want him and her back here.

I don't care if they're

standing or laying down.

I want them back here now, come on.

Yes, sir.

Give me one of those, can you?

Sure.

- That good?

- Thanks.

You're welcome.

Nobody heard nothing. We

should be good for now.

No, if he can find us, so can they.

We... We have to get packed

and moved out of here tonight.

I see you've got your

mother's taste in men.

Present company excluded.

Easy, there, Dad. It looks

like you've taken a few hits.

Yeah, I have, and you know why?

Because I've been looking for you.

I mean, Sam, what was you thinking,

disappearing like that

without even contacting me.

Don't start with me now.

Do you know something? If

your mother was alive...

God, if she was alive, she'd have

been worried sick and panic-stricken.

Hmm, but not you.

That's not what I said.

I haven't heard from you in months.

Do you know something?

I've been beaten up, nearly
