Where are you going?
Changed the angle.
Watched it 20 times, eh, Dax?
What's in that corner they don't want us to see?
So are you at all concerned there's some wacko trying to get you?
If I worried about every threat made against me, I'd never leave the house.
Watch your eyes.
Lots of prints here.
Check them all. Anyone's got a record, I want an ID.
You got it.
- Dax. - Yes, sir?
You hack into this?
Hack into a nationwide bank security system?
Yeah, I'd love to.
Hang on. Hang on.
So, what do we do in the meantime?
Do you like Italian?
As if we didn't get in the way.
You never know with you guys.
What was that thing you were saying at the house...
...about returning to the beginning path or something?
Yeah, it's a Buddha story.
We're all ears.
One day, the Buddha found his heart in turmoil...
...so he retreats to the forest, to the earth...
...to the base of a great tree.
And I'm paraphrasing...
...but this elephant comes up and tells Buddha...
...he doesn't like seeing him discouraged, and...
He can talk to an elephant?
He's the Buddha. He's attained the sixth level of consciousness.
He's capable of communicating with plants, trees, even rocks.
Rocks.
- You asked. - Come on, guys. Please. Continue.
The Buddha was troubled. He goes to the beginning.
He goes back to where he came from to find the path, the answer.
So when you hit a dead end...
...go back to the beginning to find your way.
Or something like that.
We have a genuine philosopher in our midst.
Are you-? Are you a Buddhist?
No. Just something I picked up along the way.
But you're religious?
Not particularly.
Excuse me.
- You guys are all pretty tight? - We've been through a lot together.
- Yeah. - I guess I just thought-
I don't know. With him being in so much trouble...
...coming back from the suspension, everyone might treat him differently.
You can't really believe what you read or see on TV.
I mean, if anything, our tie to Quentin's gotten stronger.
Even when things got pretty wild today...
...and everybody else panicked, he was in control.
Now, that just doesn't happen. He's just- He's that good.
Excuse me.
What are you doing?
I realized something today.
Being around you, all that's happened, I can't-
I think I made a mistake.
It's too late.
You made your choice.
Now live with it.
They got a match.
- Got a name? - Chris Lei.
Prick used to work for some big-time software company...
...till they caught him pirating programs.
Couple of years later, he was busted for hacking...
...into the pension plans of retired cops.
I'd say for a genius, he's a fucking moron.
This was your case, you and York.
You made the bust. Why didn't it stick?
We were in the middle of the Pearl Street fallout.
His lawyer put us on trial, said we were crooked, abusive...
...and that we planted evidence.
Jury bought it.
Was it true?
The guy was guilty. He was scum. That's the truth.
There's something they don't teach you.
The system breaks down, you have to compensate to get results.
That gives you the right to break the rules?
Bend, not break.
It means justice absolutely.
Another thing they don't teach you.
Come on.
Shit.
Fare thee well, Chris.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Shit.
That should do it.
You can put your shirt back on.
Look at that. First day in the city, and you've already been shot.
Just grazed him.
Why don't I just graze you with a bullet, see how you feel?
Hey, Damon Richards's awake.
Take five, guys.
Hey, Damon.
How you feeling?
What? No flowers for me?
We got you dead to rights on murder and armed robbery...
...and you're there cracking jokes.
- You fucking idiot. - Fuck yourself.
Detective.
May I?
You remember me, don't you, Damon?
Thought so.
Now, we're only gonna give you one chance.
One chance to tell us what we need to know and help yourself.
Really?
Just one chance?
I was skiing about three years ago in Aspen.
Beautiful country.
You ever been, Damon?
Never mind.
I hit a mogul...
...landed on a sheet of ice, and slammed into a tree.
Broke myself up pretty bad, kind of like you did today.
I was in a hospital bed for three months.
Had it not been for-
Here it is, morphine.
Without this stuff, I wouldn't have made it.
This I.V. drip administers a small dosage every minute or so...
...makes you feel nice and relaxed, calm, no pain...
...but...
...if I were to inject this whole thing, that'd be all she wrote for Damon.
This equipment malfunctions all the time, Damon.
Overdoses are quite common. Besides, I don't think the DA's...
...gonna launch a full-scale investigation over a scum like you.
You don't have to tell us anything.
Plead the fifth.
Roll the dice.
Okay. Okay. I'll talk.
You're a fucking hypocrite.
Question my interrogation skills?
At least I don't threaten them with a lethal overdose.
There's never been a case in recorded medical history...
...of someone overdosing on 5 ccs of saline.
Bend, not break.
That's what you said, right?
Damon Richards testifies that Lorenz's true identity is Scott Curtis.
He's wanted in connection with three other bank robberies...
...extortion and kidnapping.
He's also the brother of John Curtis...
...the perp Conners shot on the Pearl Street Bridge.
We have the names of two accomplices...
...Lamar Galt and Xander Harrington.
Everybody was supposed to meet up tonight at 10...
...and we have that address.
Now, after finding Callo and Lei dead today...
...doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that Curtis is eliminating...
...his accomplices one by one.
Doesn't matter what he told Galt and Harrington.
He's planning on finishing them off tonight.
Never think of the repercussions.
Suspect's mother, father, brother.
How your decision affects them.
Had murder in his eyes.
John Curtis?
It was pouring, lights everywhere.
If he had only done what I said:
"Drop the weapon. "
But it was not to be.
My dad died when I was 12.
He walked into a liquor store in the middle of a holdup.
Guy just opened fire.
He didn't even have time to react.
They said he was a hero.
Know what that means to a 12-year-old?
Because he dies on the job, he's a hero?
Never made sense to me.
So why become a cop?
Finish what he started.
Every day, he went out trying to do some good...
...tried to help the people who couldn't help themselves.
"Just give them a chance," is what he always said.
Didn't always work out, but he tried.
You tried to help save that girl on the bridge.
If you weren't there, the girl still would've died.
- How long we gonna sit here? - I don't know.
Come on.
It's 25 after.
How much longer we waiting?
We go now, all we get is Galt and Harrington.
Want Curtis.
Now relax and keep the line free.
Fucking prick's driving me mad.
Shit.
- What? - I'm out of gum.
- Look, man, call him. Okay? Fuck this. - Shut the fuck up, all right?
I'm not sitting around here all fucking day, man.
We can't let him walk. We gotta go now.
No. Stand down.
We bust him now, we got something.
We let him get in that car, we got jack squat.
We got three cars and uniform backup in all directions.
If they ride, we'll reel them in.
I want Curtis.
Nobody goes into the house until I say.
He ain't answering.
Gotta be fucking out here.
- Turn it off. - Shit!
Trigger-happy sons of bitches.
All units, shots fired! Officer down! Send an ambulance!
Take them alive.
- Take the back, Shane. - Got it.
Teddy.
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
Drop the gun.
Last warning.
Get out of the house!
Get out of the house now!
Get down!
Hey, where's Conners?
Back up that line.
Little more?
- Okay. - Need more morphine?
No. Yeah. Be great. Thank you.
Get that entrance in the back.
Check it out.
It's just- It's- It's hard to take.
I mean, you know, if it had to happen to somebody, well...
Oh, you son of a bitch.
Teddy?
You've always been jealous of him, Martin.
Jealous?
It's because he wasn't just a better cop, he was a better man.
Detective, go home.
Is there something you wanna say?
No, sir.
She said it perfectly.
You okay?
Conners was right.
We should've never gone in.
How fucking dumb are we?
Detective.
I know what they were doing inside the bank.
Here's a record of transactions from the bank.
An average day produces about 3- or 400 pages, give or take.
Today there were over 3000 pages.
Meaning?
We've just witnessed the largest bank heist in history...
...about a billion dollars.
Come again?
They planted a computer virus.
It randomly withdraws money from all the accounts...
...and deposits it into the bad guys' account.
Now, if you look at all the transactions, no two amounts are the same...
...and none of them are over $100.
You see, most security systems work on the size of the money...
...not the amount of transactions...
...so you wire out a million dollars from a handful of accounts...
...red flags pop up...
...but wire out less than $100 from, say, 10 million accounts...
...no red flags.
- Where's the money now? - I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
Well, the virus set up a host of phantom accounts, right...
...where the money sits until it transfers to another account...
...and another and another. It's never in one place long enough...
- ... to get an accurate fix on it. - The money's moving around?
Yeah. Any withdrawal or deposit from any bank...
...doesn't normally go through till the next business day...
...so all these are just gonna float around till 9 a. m. tomorrow.
- Or 6 a. m. Pacific time. - Sure.
Sunrise.
Why break in? If they're wiring money, couldn't they do that from anywhere?
No. See, that's the regional manager's computer terminal.
From there, you have unlimited entry into the bank's mainframe...
...so there's no more working around passwords, no hacking in.
It's straight in, nice and clean.
A billion dollars is missing, and we're only discovering this now?
Ironically, when you guys shut off the power...
...it helped hide the virus and bought it time to work.
They weren't trying to make it look like they were robbing to rip off a prince.
They were making it look like they ripped off a prince to rob a bank.
Chaos theory.
What you gonna do now?
I think this is beyond our jurisdiction.
- Hello. - Detective, there's a call for you.
- Says it's urgent. - Put it through.
Good evening, detective.
My compliments on a fine day.
You are an unexpected and challenging adversary.
- It's not over yet. - Wishful thinking.
No, my wish is to catch you.
You're a murderer, a cop killer at that.
I didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it.
Callo was insignificant...
...and Conners, he deserved his fate.
I know about the money.
You steal a billion dollars, they will find you.
A risk I'm willing to take.
Sir.
It doesn't add up.
What doesn't add up, detective?
Why would he say Callo's insignificant?
Who?
Lorenz. Curtis called me.
Really?
He said he didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it.
He said Callo was insignificant, but he wasn't.
Without Callo, he doesn't have the knowledge of the department...
...or the front money to hire the crew.
- Curtis called you? - Yeah.
Well, now he's screwing with your head.
You did good today, Shane.
Father would be very proud.
Get some sleep.
Be more bad guys for you tomorrow.
I was in bed already. This couldn't wait till tomorrow?
Sit down.
How did he come after you? It's the only thing that doesn't make sense.
What are you talking about?
All day long, we thought Callo was the dirty cop.
All day long, we were wrong.
Here's the sign-out sheet from the evidence room.
Here is one of Callo's reports.
Here's another one...
...and another one.
They're not the same signatures, Harry.
They're not even close.
Maybe he got a cramp in his hand. I don't know.
Here's your file.
You were reprimanded one month ago...
...when you confronted Callo outside the courthouse.
You punched him.
- That ring a bell? - And I'd do it again.
Cops who testify against cops...
...shouldn't be breathing the same air I do.
- There's a line you don't cross. - So you set him up.
You forged Callo's signature...
...you gave him money and you helped him with his plan...
...because you thought he got the raw deal...
...and don't deny it because I know!
Of course he got a raw deal at Pearl Street Bridge!
Everybody got a raw deal!
You're helping a cop killer, Harry.
You're a year away from your pension.
- Is this how you wanna go out? - My conscience is clean.
This has been a very long...
...day.
And I'm tired, Harry.
It's like we're chasing a phantom here.
Just when we have him...
...he disappears.
He's been two steps ahead of Conners and me all day.
Of course he has.
Who knows Conners better than him?
How the hell does Curtis know Conners better than anyone?
We're not talking about Curtis, are we, Harry?
Who would know Conners better than anyone?
Who would you protect?
And who in your mind got the raw deal at Pearl Street Bridge?
Drop the weapon!
One more step and the girl dies.
That you don't wanna do.
Think about it.
You kill her, where you gonna go?
It was York who was the dirty cop.
He assumed Scott Curtis' identity to throw us off the trail.
York plays his old partner, knowing all his moves.
Cut the power.
Now.
Frames his enemy for the crime. Kills him too.
Look at this. Blueprints from the bank.
There's pictures, schematics.
There's at least a dozen Internet articles on the Saudi prince.
And pulls off one of the biggest robberies in history.
You do what you want to me.
He called me to tell me he's going and you ain't gonna find him.
Watch me.
The number that York used to call Harry Hume is his cell phone number.
Ran it through all the service providers.
- Nextel got a match. - Can they get a location on him?
Should trace his location within 100 meters or less.
- Great. - Oh, hang on.
Hello.
Got him. Excellent. Thank you.
That'll be 8.48, please.
Keep the change...
...doll face.
Thanks, mister.
Jason York, this is the police.
Put your hands in the air and get down on the ground slowly.
- Do it now. - Don't shoot, okay?
Just be cool. Okay.
Get down on the pavement.
You win.
Oh, Jesus. Okay.
- Get down on the pavement now. - Look, I'm cooperating, okay?
I give up. Be cool, okay? All right?
- You win. I'm putting my hat down. - I didn't ask you to.
Put your hands where I can see them.
I said I give up, all right?
Final warning.
Take the back.
Was it Harry?
- It was Harry, right? Oh, that fat fuck. - Drop the weapon and let the girl go.
- It's over. - Nope.
If you wanna bring me in, you gonna have to work for it.
That you don't wanna do.
Well, isn't that interesting? That's exactly what I said to him.
I mean, do you see the irony here?
You see it? Or am I the only one?
Two months ago I was in your shoes.
Yeah, standing there with some punk...
...holding a gun to an innocent girl's head...
...asking myself, "What should I do?"
What would you do?
You'd do exactly what I did.
You'd try to make a difference.
Let's roll, baby.
Everybody out! Get out!
- You all right? - Yeah. I'm fine.
Which way did he go?
He went towards the pier.
You really screwed yourself.
Jenkins is gonna expect these kind of results from you every day.
FBI's got a team of 40 technicians working on Lei's virus.
They'll break it.
Your conviction would be admirable.
It's just that it's so sad.
Get it through your head, man.
The cavalry ain't coming.
No, no. No hero's coming to save the day.
Oh, no.
The bad guy wins at the end of this story.
But I have to admit, though.
You have turned out to be quite the little thorn.
I think Conners would be sorry that you died.
Not me.
Come on.
I have come too far to be denied.
We used to spend all day Sunday just reading in bed.
I would read the paper.
He'd read one of his thousand books.
I didn't deserve him.
I knew that...
...but I still loved him.
Did we all get shot today?
Yeah, they said the city would be busy.
Every day like this?
Yeah, pretty much.
Great.
I wonder what's next.
Excuse me.
So how much?
Do you really think I'm gonna charge you after all that?
- Go on. - Thanks.
Smell that?
What is that?
Well, when evidence is taken in...
...any physical contact can affect our ability to lift prints...
...so now to mark it, we just spray a scented solution right on the bill.
Lastly, I don't like the Pac 10.
It's overrated.
Where is it?
Shit.
This Lorenz is trying to tell us something.
Really? You don't say?
You ever heard of chaos theory?
Edward Lorenz invented the chaos theory in the 1960s.
It's the study of phenomena that appear random...
...but have an element of regularity...
...which can be described mathematically.
- Try that again. - Pretty much, initial state of events...
...may seem unrelated and random, but eventually a pattern emerges...
...and in the end, all the pieces fit together.
You tried all of them?
Nothing for Conners or Lorenz?
I don't know.
No. Maybe- Maybe he's not on a flight.
Try again...
...but try Gleick, James Gleick.
I need to know if passenger James Gleick has checked in.
One moment. We're gonna have to check.
Quickly, please.
Hello.
There's a passage in the Surangama Sutra...
...which roughly translated means:
"Things are not what they appear to be, nor are they otherwise. "
Conners.
Think about that a minute.
Doesn't that blow your mind?
What gave me away?
Ten bucks.
Fuck. The diner. That's right.
And it was Harry that gave up York.
Harry and a phone call.
He called me, said that Callo was insignificant...
...threw up all kinds of red flags.
That wasn't him.
That, my friend, was my mistake.
I called you.
No, my wish is to catch you.
You're a murderer, a cop killer at that.
I didn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it.
Callo was insignificant.
You know, York always thought the plan was flawless.
If he'd only done what I said instead of going off the deep end like he did.
I told him you have to leave room for error.
You know, you can't always predict how things are gonna play out.
A random camera catches an image of Damon Richards.
The scent on the money.
You.
The chaos theory.
When you got that, I was impressed.
All day long we were trying to figure out who the inside source was.
It was you.
Surprise.
What if we cut the power? That'll disable the system.
We can open the locks manually, go in that way.
That'll work.
A billion dollars is missing, and we're discovering this now?
Ironically, when you guys shut off the power...
...it helped hide the virus and bought it time to work.
Yeah, Teddy's pretty devastated about your death.
She'll get over it.
Get down!
Hey, where's Conners?
So the corpse in the morgue with your name on its toe?
Scott Curtis won't be bothering anyone again.
You're a serial killer.
Oh, yeah? Well, who got killed?
Curtis, Harrington, Galt, Lei. All fucking hoods.
World's safer with them gone.
You said they were all hoods. What about Callo?
Callo deserved his fate.
It's his fault.
So this is all Callo's fault.
If it weren't for him, York and I would never have done this.
One random act causes another, causes another...
...and in the end, the pattern emerges.
That is the chaos theory.
Oh, look at that.
It's after 6. The money's cleared. I'm a wealthy man.
Lei, for all his evil, was one smart son of a bitch.
The feds will be tracing false leads for weeks.
You tanked Lei's trial on purpose.
They should have suspended me after I testified.
What did they expect?
So why not kill me? You had plenty of opportunities.
This wasn't about killing, Shane.
This was about standing up for what matters.
Besides, you kind of grew on me.
- You're not gonna get away. - I already have.
I'm not even here now.
This is a very valuable lesson for you to learn.
- It's good you have learned it. - Yeah? What's that?
You don't always win.
All your years of service for nothing.
You're a hypocrite.
I'm an opportunist.
I would have gladly died in the line of duty, but they took that away.
They'd been as faithful to me, none of this would have happened.
The system broke down.
Good luck, detective.
It would have been an interesting partnership.
But I have to go now.
Conners.
Attention, please.
Final call. Flight 1182 to Mexico City now boarding at gate 23.
Enjoy your flight.
Thank you.
I'll let the captain know we're ready.
