sergeant smith

is not on the stand,

and sergeant smith

was not there

when you saw

what you said you did.

Officer tucker,

I wanna ask you

one final question.

Were you suspended

for falsifying evidence

during your training?

- Hey, wait a minute...

that's sealed!

- Objection.

Your honor, officer tucker

is not the one on trial here.

I request that the jury

disregard that last question.

This objection is

overruled, ms. Thomas.

You sponsored this witness.

You should have known

his professional background.

Mr. Stone, you may ask

your question again.

Thank you, your honor.

I'd like to ask you

one more time,

officer tucker.

Did you get suspended

for falsifying evidence

during training?

- Yes.

- Can you say that

a little louder, please,

so the jury can hear you?

- Yes.

- "Yes. Yes."

No further questions,

your honor.

I'm probably completely making

an ass out of myself right now.

Maybe I am a little drunk.

I think it's really

really cool too,

that you can be as calm

and relaxed as you are,

especially in

the situation you're in.

I admire that.

I'm being serious.

You see, that's what's

crazy about life.

I mean, life, luck,

everything... it just...

The guys that are trying

to do the right thing are

catching the shaft.

The guys that are

doing the wrong thing are

getting away with it.

It's luck. You know what?

You can have

the best luck in the world,

or you can have the worst.

And it seems like the guys

that are trying hard

and, you know,

you try to do things...

you know,

that's when your luck's

at its absolute worst.

It's that bad luck

that just keeps

following you around

over and over and over,

and you keep pushing

and pushing and pushing.

It just...

life... life keeps

knocking you down.

It sucks. It's bad luck.

Bad luck. Bad luck.

F*** it, let's just

get drunk. God damn.

You are very sexy.

You see that pool?

We can go swim.

It's too late

for me and you, baby

I wanted to love you...

But you said no way...

hey, jaxon,

it's walter calling.

Listen, I got

that discovery file

you asked about.

I'm gonna leave it

in my mailbox... 12-m.

I really got

to get out of town.

It's about the torres case.

All right, I'm gonna

leave the key under my mat.

Just go there and pick it up.

Call me if you have

any questions.

All right.

'cause that's what

city means

the people so removed

so wake up, everybody

and see those city lights

how they shining on

for that downtown city jive

hell yeah

yes, we're living, oh baby

living in the city

so if you're in my city

lay down for a taste...

Yes, we're living

living in the city

in the city

but if you've been there

you know what I mean

living in the city

can really be a groove

'cause I am there

and see if it's real

whoo-hoo

yes, we're living...

law offices of jaxon stone.

This is vanessa.

How may I assist you?

Hey, vanessa,

can you do me a favor?

Cancel all my clients

for the day. Okay?

- Okay.

- 'Cause I'm gonna

be incognito.

- I'm playing hooky.

- I'll take care of it.

All right, thanks. Bye.

The rhythm's kinda funky

the people doing the funk

'cause that's

what sets the mood

the people set the groove

so wake up, everybody

and see those city lights

how they shining on

- for that

downtown city jive...

Now I hear you have

a friend that's a lawyer.

I haven't said anything.

What was that?

I haven't said anything.

You'd better not have.

You got something for me?

Sorry to keep you waiting, man.

I just had to make sure

I got everything straight.

- No worries.

- First things first, man.

There's no selena before 2001.

What do you mean "no selena"?

There's no birth certificate.

There's no social.

There's no driver's license.

No bank accounts.

There's nothing before

she married lopez.

Check out the folder, man.

A picture of lopez in there

two days before he died...

With another woman.

That look like

a happily-married man to you?

That's not all, man.

I've been doing

some digging around

on the fake companies

de la cruz has been

giving money to.

It turns out there's

this little souvenir shop

right outside of t.J.,

on the border...

been on the c.I.A.'S radar

now for a while

for both drug

and human trafficking.

- God.

- Spoke to my guy in t.J.,

he said

it's f***ing ugly, stone.

I mean real f***ing ugly.

They've been going

to these border towns,

getting these poor girls,

tellin' their parents

they'll give them

an advance

on the work they'll do

in these textile factories.

Same bullshit, man, as always.

Then they smuggle 'em

across the f***ing border.

This is not

a small operation, man.

My guy told me they got

everyone from border patrol

to f***ing

government officials

in their pocket.

We gotta take this

motherf***er down, man.

How can we take this dude down?

- No way.

- We got to, man.

Look, seriously...

okay, we've been friends awhile,

but no f***ing way.

- This is a bad f***ing idea.

It's a big no.

- Listen.

Listen to me, man.

There is no other way, okay?

- Trust me.

- They will kill you

dead, stone.

This is not a f***ing game.

All right.

Now, let's just

make this easy on us.

Especially on you, all right?

Don't try to run

- and definitely

don't try to scream.

We've just got a couple

of questions to ask you.

Okay?

Okay?

Let's go.

How quickly they grow up.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

I don't think

he's gonna like this one bit.

I really don't give a damn.

Listen to me.

Your bravery is misplaced,

and it really turns me on.

Now I'd hate

to be the one to have

to cut that gorgeous body

into little pieces.

You're gonna be a good

playdate for somebody.

Yeah, spike knows.

He might even fall

in love with ya.

But I doubt it.

You a dirty thing.

Get all that sludge off of you.

Yeah.

You've got the wrong

f***ing guy.

- I'm sending

you to hell.

F*** going to hell.

How's that?

You want to f*** with us?

I didn't f*** with anybody.

You've got the wrong...

Up. Up. Up up up up.

Yeah yeah yeah. F*** you.

You know who you were

playing with, huh?!

- Yeah?

- Boss.

The jewelry needs cleaning.

Which one?

Hmm?

The other diamond.

There's a blemish.

I can't seem to clean it.

Can it be fixed?

I've tried.

Any hope for repair?

I think it's a permanent stain.

Take care of it.

Understood.

You think

you're in a bad spot now?

Gonna get worse.

Who have you been talking to?

Think we're playing games?

Wanna mess my day up? Eh?!

Who have you been talking to?

Who you been talking to?!

- No.

- You know the payment

for protection.

- No.

- It's time to ante up.

- I don't need

your protection.

Please, don't!

She didn't do

anything to you.

Who's going to protect you?

She looks so sweet.

Give me some

of that candy.

No no no no

no no no no.

Hey! Hey!

So you check

your messages, huh?

Yeah, I came

as soon as I could.

You know,

this is not working.

This is not gonna work.

- You're lying to me.
