Department doesn't want an unstable officer on the street
any more than you do.
Fill this out. You got a pen?
No, sir.
Thank you.
Roger, how we doing?
He's not coming.
Your friend Officer Davis called Lurie on the phone,
asking all kinds of questions-
Does he know you? Has he done business with you?
Lurie's nervous enough to pull his people out.
He thinks you're under some kind of investigation.
This fucker is ruining me.
We're not dead yet. We have to deal with your friend.
I already filed a complaint.
You're the one who told me to do it.
Michael, this is some kind of cop scam.
This putz is just supplementing his lousy income.
Pay him off.
Roger, as my lawyer,
you're advising me to bribe a police officer?
No.
I'm advising you to make a donation
to the son of bitch's favorite charity.
Thanks for meeting me, Pete.
Ahem.
Give us a...
chance to talk a little bit.
You know, I...
I don't remember how this all began
or what I did.
But...
Whatever, I'm...
I'm sorry.
You know, I...
I'm not looking to get you into trouble, Pete.
And I-I certainly don't need any myself, so...
what do you say?
Water under the bridge?
Hell, we can part friends.
And, of course, I'll withdraw the complaint.
O.K.
Here it is.
What's this?
5,000.
You walk away and don't mess with my investors.
A bribe, Mikey?
Call it whatever you want, Pete.
I need this deal.
Shh.
You hear that?
I used to work these hills.
I knew this lady.
She was out walking her little poodle...
when a coyote comes charging out of the brush,
snatches up the little poodle, and takes off.
All we ever found of that little doggy
was its diamond-studded leash.
You know, when Karen first met you,
she actually thought you were different than her gambling father.
What?
It's very interesting how people follow patterns.
See, she doesn't feel safe with you either, Michael.
Karen needs to feel protected
from when those coyotes come charging out of the brush.
You stay the fuck away from her.
Assaulting a police officer?
Nice civilized man like you, Michael?
What are you going to do, arrest me?
Arrest you?
I could kill you.
...In the auditorium for our get-together.
What's wrong?
Fifth-grade parents,
please assemble in the auditorium
for our get-together...
What's going on?
What the hell are you talking about?
You and Pete.
What's going on?
What are you accusing me of?
We had a cup of coffee.
Some hot cup of coffee.
Penny invited him to talk to the kids.
Afterwards we went out.
If you think there was anything else, you're crazy.
Well, he just put a gun to my head.
What?
He just put a fucking gun to my head.
He wants you.
He thinks you want him.
He didn't get any of those ideas from me.
Well, he didn't pull them out of the air, Karen.
So, what is it, you get off on leading him on?
Talking to him... about us?
About our marriage? Jesus!
I told you he's dangerous.
What's it going to take, me in a body bag?
I'm sorry.
Officer Cole.
Your partner-
I went to him to try to work things out.
Didn't you know enough to stay away from him?
You're not going to listen?
Every time you react, it just gets worse.
"Cops on one side, everybody else on the other"?
Yeah, that's it.
He threatened to kill me last night.
How do you suggest I react to that?
Look, if anybody knows this guy's coming apart,
it's got to be you.
Come on, man. The guy's after my wife.
I don't know where else to go.
Come on in.
He doesn't understand.
I'm better for her than he is.
He doesn't love her.
He can't take care of her the way that I can.
She needs me.
What the hell are you going on about?
Like she's ever going to be yours.
You listen to me.
Nothing- Nothing is ever going to happen
between you and her.
She is...
some fantasy in your head.
You don't know what you're talking about.
I don't?
You don't.
Tell me what you were doing with him the other night.
Tell me you didn't stick a gun in his face.
I was just playing with him.
I'm not playing with you.
You're going to back off this madness.
You're going to put in for a stress leave.
Then see a doctor and get your head straight.
Or?
Or I'm going to go upstairs
and tell them exactly what's going on with you.
You understand?
You'd do that?
You're goddamn right.
If you don't do it in the next 24 hours,
that is exactly what I'll do.
Now...
you go have coffee with a shrink...
and it'll be all right.
You'll see.
Will you look at that?
Oh, hell with it, man. Leave it.
Leon, freeze!
Shit!
Leon!
Hey!
Leon!
Open the door!
Yah!
Put the box down!
It's bennies.
Put it down!
What the hell you making us chase you for?
Come on. Get up, boy.
You know the routine. Come on. Spread 'em.
There's some real crime out there.
Yeah, right. That's what I got.
A benny bust.
What we got here?
I'm providing a service out there.
Those cabbies, they fall asleep behind the wheel.
Hey! That's enough.
Come on. I need something more than this.
Come on, Leon.
Well, look what we got here.
You really are Mr. Clean.
I'll let you keep this.
Might need it later on.
Don't you believe in safe sex?
Hey, what- what's he doing?
He's got a gun!
Shit!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What?
Come on.
Take the gun.
I don't want the gun!
Take the gun.
I don't want it!
Take the gun. Go.
You killed my partner, Leon.
You're not going upstairs to talk to anyone.
I went around the back.
And...
Roy...
followed the suspect in, I guess.
And then I heard shots.
And that scumbag shot Roy.
And I guess Roy...
nailed him before he died.
Weisman, Eichen, and Shawn.
This is Michael Carr. I need to talk with Roger.
This is an emergency.
Mr. Graham's out of his office.
O.K. Page him. Do whatever you have to do.
Tell him I'm being set up. There's cops everywhere.
Michael!
Tell him to call me immediately.
We have a warrant to search for narcotics.
Narcotics?
I want to take a look at that.
Please, sir, step over here.
An informant has given your address
where he purchased narcotics from a Michael Carr.
Are you Michael Carr?
Yeah.
Surprise, surprise.
Michael Carr, I'm placing you under arrest
for the possession of narcotics.
No!
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to contact an attorney.
I'm removing your glasses for your safety, sir.
...In a court of law.
We'll be taking you down to the station.
If you prefer, we'll pull a car to the back
to avoid your neighbors.
That's very thoughtful of you.
Call Roger.
Be sure you get ahold of Roger.
I'm Detective Nobu, Mr. Carr.
How do you do?
I want to offer you the opportunity to make this easy.
If you'll furnish us with the names of your connection,
you can be out soon.
I'm not talking to anybody
till I speak with my lawyer.
That's your right, Mr. Carr.
You got 10 minutes.
You O.K.?
Yeah.
How's Karen?
Hanging in there.
Do I get to see her?
Not till after the arraignment.
Till then, you're only allowed legal counsel.
What about bail?
It'll be set at your hearing.
What's your money situation?
Uh...
Well, everything-
Everything I had went into the party to impress Lurie.
I need to know exactly.
$2,200.
Well, I don't think they'll set bail too high.
It's not like you're a professional dope dealer.
Professional?
Michael,
the cops dredged about a half a pound of cocaine.
We got a problem.
My problem's real simple.
A cop wants me out of the way
because he wants my wife.
Look, this is way over my head.
I got in touch with Sam Gershon.
He's the best criminal attorney I know.
He'll represent you at your hearing.
You guys need to talk to Roy Cole,
Davis' partner.
Officer Roy Cole.
Now, he told me that if anything else happened,
he'd help me out.
Cole's dead.
In the line of duty in a shootout.
I talked to his captain.
He won't stop till he kills me.
Get me out of here, Roger.
I will.
It's all in hand.
No, no, no. You listen to me.
Just get me out of here.

It wasn't me.
Look, I took an investor out on the town.
He stuck a vial of blow under the car seat.
A lawyer said the easiest thing to do
was to plead it out,
but it wasn't me.
Doesn't matter.
You took the deal. It's on the record.

as set forth in section 4873
of the California Penal Code.
Mr. Jenkins pleads not guilty, Your Honor.
There's no evidence of anything...
Heh heh...
Having trouble making bail, Mike?
Money's a little tight, huh?
Tsk tsk.
Karen's really upset.
You really shouldn't have done this to her, Michael.
She's all alone now.
But don't worry. Not for long.
Ha ha ha...
I want you to know she's going to be taken care of.
I know what Karen needs,
and isn't it her happiness that we both want?
Hmm?
If you could find us, why not look us up?
Love to have you over for a barbecue.
If you go near her...
I'll kill you.
Ha ha ha...
Ooh.
So long, Mikey.
You look good in blue.
Hey.
Hi.
How you doing?
Fine. I'm just a little tired.
There you are.
I thought he might be hungry.
Thanks.
How about you?
I could use something, yeah.
Good.
Penny...
I'm really glad you're here.
No problem.
I'll stick around till Michael gets home.
It's going to be a while.
That's O.K.
Karen, get some rest.
Guard!
Make a telephone call?
Guard!
Guard-thanks. Make a telephone call?
Guard?
Guard. Make a telephone call?
Shut up.
You're just a fat little piggy, aren't you, huh?
Just a minute.
There you go.
Oh, sorry, Penny. I didn't mean to scare you.
Pete...
Karen's upstairs.
She's got a headache.
Oh...
Well, I brought some groceries
in case she didn't have time
after, you know, everything that's been going on.
I'll tell her you came by.
Well, why don't I just give them to you?
I got to get going to work, so...
I'm not very popular here, am I, Penny?
Uh...
All right.
I'll just leave them here.
You can get them...
You can get them later.
Take care.
You look great.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
250? That's a hard bullet.
You're looking at 25K, Mr. Graham.
Here's the deed to my house.
This takes care of the bail,
but what about my end?
I'm writing you a $25,000 personal check.
Nice Rolex.
Forget it.
Sam Gershon said you'd take care of me.
Usually this should be a cashier's check,
but if you're Sam's friend, I'll check.
If you got sufficient funds,
we got a deal.
Ahem.
Touch-tone phones, you don't have that?
Guard.
Think I might make that phone call now? Please?
Just take a second, man. I'd really appreciate it.
Talk to you when I can.
Operator.
A collect from Michael.
One moment.
I'm sorry, sir. The phone must be off the hook.
Well, can you cut in? This is an emergency, operator.
I did that, sir.
Can you help me out?
I might not get to-
It's a machine. I can't tell it what to do.
You're sure it's off the hook?
Yes, sir. It's off the hook.
Penny, it smells so good.
I didn't know cooking was one of your-
Hi.
Are you feeling better?
I got some, um, mushrooms...
onions, dried tomatoes...
parsley...
Where's Penny?
Penny?
Um...
I told her to go home.
She'd just be a third wheel.
I took the phone off the hook
so you could sleep.
I didn't want any distractions.
Well, I'm not sleeping now, am I?
I want you to leave.
Wait.
I know I shouldn't be here.
I know you're upset,
but let's stop kidding ourselves, Karen.
We've been bending over backwards
to do the right thing.
You playing the perfect wife,
me being the good friend.
I can't take it anymore. I just can't.
Now we can stop pretending.
We can stop pretending now.
Pete, I'm very tired.
I- I need some time alone, to be by myself.
I know. I know. Listen...
Come here. Sit down.
Sit down.
I know what's scaring you.
Listen.
I don't have to be a cop anymore.
O.K.? I could do something different with my life.
Something clean.
I think that's good.
No one should have to live their life
the way you've been living it, Pete.
You wouldn't have to carry a gun anymore.
Why don't you put it away?
No gun.
No badge.
I better go cook.
Pete?
What?
I forgot about Tiny.
The cat.
I don't like leaving him outside at night. Uh...
O.K.
Be right back.
Karen?
Oh.
You got him.
Yeah.
Hey, Tiny.
Are you O.K.?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You sure?
Mm-hmm.
You seem really tense.
Yeah, I am a little bit.
Come here.
I know what you need.
Come here.
It's O.K. Come on.
Move over.
Move over?
Come on. Let's go.
Go ahead, take my car.
I already risked my house getting you out.
Put on your seat belt.
You keep all your tension in your shoulders.
All up here.
Just relax.
Breathe.
I feel so lucky being alone here with you.
Tell me how much you love me.
It'll never be as much as I love you.
Pete, don't.
Don't what?
I don't feel very pretty right now.
Karen, you're beautiful.
No.
Mm-hmm.
I want to look better.
I want to put on something nice for you,
something that you'll like.
I'll call you when I'm ready.
Don't be long.
Slow down.
We won't make it.
You can't make it.
Michael, no!
Jesus!
Karen...
Are you looking for this?
Yeah. You read my mind.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I hate the damn thing.
I wanted you to get rid of it.
Uh-huh.
I thought you were going to get changed.
Oh, fuck!
Pull over.
Hang on.
Don't shoot! I'm a lawyer!
Get out!
What are you doing?
You're a sick, fucking, brutal asshole.
Get out!
You're not going to shoot me.
I swear I'll kill you.
You're not going to kill anyone.
You know that this is right.
Get away!
Put the gun down.
Try it again. Shoot again.
Think I'd give you a loaded fucking weapon, huh?
See how things are now, huh?
You little fucking cock-teaser, is that it?
You're a cock-teaser.
Huh, you little cock-teaser?
You try to fucking shoot me?
You want to shoot me?
You know what you are, Karen?
You're a little fucking whore.
You're a worthless fucking whore,
just like every fucking whore I've ever met.
That's exactly how I'm going to treat you.
Get your fucking leg open!
I'm going to treat you like a whore, Karen.
Git!
No!
Michael!
Michael, he found your gun.
He's got it!
I got to get you out of this house.
Come on.
Hyah!
Aah!
Hello.
Yeah, this is Michael Carr.
Yeah. Thank you for calling.
Uh, I was-I was swinging a golf club.
It went through the-
It went through the patio window.
It's O.K. Yeah.
There's glass everywhere, but it's O.K.
Yeah. Password's pyramid.
No.
No, I did not change the password.
I did.
What's the password?
Figure it out, asshole.
Seven letters.
Ha ha ha. Fuck you.
This is going to cost you, Michael.
Come on!
Get up here!
Karen...
You... mother... fucker!
Karen, this is the way it is.
We got two minutes to get out of here.
If you don't open the door,
Michael dies.
You understand?
He'll kill you, too. Stay-
Shut up. Just shut up!
Don't come out of there.
Karen, there's no time to fuck around.
He'll shoot me anyway, honey.
I'm not going to kill him.
Open up, and I'll let Michael live.
If you don't, though, your husband's dead, O.K., Karen?
That's the way it is.
I'm counting to three.
1...
Honey, they're coming.
2!
They're coming!
Go ahead, asshole.
You're done!
Tell her to open the fucking door now.
O.K., O.K.
Karen-Karen, don't open the fucking door!
Michael!
What are you going to do, tough guy?
You going to make a citizen's arrest?
Going to arrest you?
Uh! Aah!
All right, guys, let's go.
Right behind you.
Lonnie, get this going.
Got it.
Jackson...
Right.
Front door.
