00:16i know about tom's bachelor party
00:19rumor has it you were behaving like fireman
00:21i enjoyed
00:22a black a blue porterhouse
00:24a 30 year old whiskey
00:26it was verging on sedate
00:28Heather has no idea what she's in for.
00:30Tom's a pain in the ass.
00:32He's stubborn.
00:33He never admits when he's wrong.
00:37I'm father deceased.
00:39Two gunshot wounds to the chest.
00:41Is he omega?
00:42Uh, put a 20 on not a chance in hell.
00:45Crime scene's on the third floor.
00:56Call that a forced entry.
00:58Where's the body?
01:08Javier Quiroga, 17 years old.
01:11Two bullets to the upper torso, one to the thigh.
01:15What a way to start a weekend.
01:17Barely old enough to show you.
01:23World's best father.
01:24Maybe the world's best father and his son had a disagreement.
01:27Family feuds do tend toward the bloody.
01:29Maybe it was a robbery, but it doesn't look like there was much to steal.
01:32One man's trash.
01:35Gang related?
01:36We're in the right territory.
01:39You get anything from the neighbors?
01:40Just the usual no habla ingles wall of silence.
01:43You ever think how much easier a job would be without the illegals?
01:47Your family come over on the Mayflower officer hunt?
01:50747 working papers in hand.
01:51747 working papers in hand.
02:00We're in the ceiling.
02:01This is San Francisco police department.
02:02We know you are in there.
02:17Hi, baby.
02:22Hi, sweetie.
02:25It's okay. It's okay. Don't be afraid.
02:32Okay, the doctor said the bullet nicked his pulmonary artery, but she did say the surgery went well.
02:47I was gonna say he's a lucky man, but waking up to identify your son's killer, well, it's not exactly the lottery.
02:52You know, he may not even remember what happened.
02:55He did manage to save his daughter. That's something.
02:58I officially hate this weekend.
03:04Miss Bettis, I'm the social worker assigned to this case.
03:07How's she doing?
03:08Physically, she's fine. Emotionally, she's traumatized. Being surrounded by strangers doesn't help.
03:14We believe her father and brother hit in the ceiling when they heard the intruder.
03:17Has she said anything about that?
03:19She's not talking. At all.
03:21Wouldn't even tell me her name.
03:23Uh, Isila Quiroga, according to the building super.
03:26She's our only witness.
03:28She needs to feel safe.
03:30Right now, she just doesn't.
03:32Hey, Tom, it's me. I need your fiancée.
03:45You called Heather?
03:47I told Tom to call Heather.
03:50I recognized the school logo on Isila's backpack, and then I remembered that Isila was one of the kids that showed up to Heather's
03:57Bring your kindergarten class to Lindsey's ex-husband's work day.
04:01Calling Heather.
04:02It kind of places you at the top of the evolutionary scale.
04:04So true.
04:06But then Tom said that Heather said that she had to make a stop on the way.
04:08Really? What, is she getting like a mani-pedi?
04:10You know their wedding is really close. Like days.
04:13And I am very happy for the both of them.
04:15Have I not been clear?
04:16Tom and me, it's all good. No worries.
04:19What have you got?
04:20Because I am in desperate need of a solid theory.
04:22I looked into the keto guys, there's no record of domestic disputes.
04:25No records, period.
04:26Including social security numbers, credit scores.
04:29Javier had an assignment card from the San Francisco day laborers program.
04:33They were in the U.S. illegally.
04:35Legal or not, this kid was a hard worker.
04:37Fingernails are embedded with drywall dust, paint specs on his skin and in his hair.
04:43Probably been in construction since he was knee high.
04:45There are a few day laborer pickup spots in Javier's neighborhood.
04:48I can ask her out and see if anyone knows anything.
04:50Absolutely not.
04:52Do you speak Spanish?
04:53Yes, a little.
04:54And there is no way that you're going to go running around in random groups of men,
04:57alone and unarmed, and asking questions about a murderer.
05:00Don't!
05:01That's a protection bracelet.
05:03Brujas sell them to ward off negative energy and evil forces.
05:07But it didn't protect Javier.
05:12Brujas and witches.
05:14Really?
05:15You're going to talk to us about witches and keep a straight face?
05:17They're not witches in the black magic Halloween sort of way.
05:20You used the words evil forces and you crossed yourself.
05:24Well, you know, they're also marriage counselors, matchmakers, healers.
05:28They are con artists, but that does explain the amateur stitches on Javier's head.
05:33Oh!
05:34That ass commitment.
05:36I think I found my theory.
05:39I think our victim Javier Quiroga was a member of the Senkos.
05:43He had a big five tattooed on his chest.
05:45Hello to you too.
05:46Listen, I need you to get me in touch with Hex Escamilla.
05:50He took over the Senkos like what, three years ago?
05:52Hex Escamilla?
05:53Yeah.
05:54The only way that you would know about my gang contacts is if you read my task force reports.
05:59You keeping track of me?
06:01Hey!
06:02Hey!
06:03How's Esala?
06:04Ah, she still hasn't talked.
06:05She's in my office with a social worker.
06:08Her mom died when Esala was born, so Javier and Nivaldo are her whole world.
06:12Especially since they came to the States.
06:15You brought a bunny.
06:17Oh, it's the stop I had to make.
06:20Snickers.
06:21Snickers?
06:22The clasp head I thought I'd help her open up.
06:25It's a great idea.
06:28Okay, come on.
06:32Snickers was so sad today.
06:34Couldn't get him to eat.
06:36I think he missed you.
06:38You think you can help him out?
06:40Hey, Esala, you remember Inspector Boxer, right?
06:49You met her when the class came to visit?
06:51Inspector Boxer really wants to help your father.
06:55Where's Poppy?
07:01The doctors are taking care of him, but he needs your help too.
07:04So can you do that?
07:05Can you talk to Inspector Boxer for me?
07:10Hi, Esala.
07:12Hi.
07:13You know what?
07:14You can call me Lindsay.
07:20Well, thank you.
07:23Do you like bunnies?
07:26Do you like dogs?
07:28Yeah.
07:29I have a dog.
07:30Her name is Martha.
07:32You know what?
07:33Martha helps me when I get scared too.
07:36Just like Snickers is helping you.
07:40I'm gonna stay with Esala until, well, as long as she needs me.
07:45Okay.
07:46DCFS has a playroom upstairs, but I'll see you later.
07:50You were always good with witnesses.
07:54Well, this time Snickers gets the credit.
07:57And Heather.
07:59What did Esala say?
08:01She remembers sounds mostly.
08:04Um, the door breaking down.
08:05Her father and Javier racing around in the dark, pulling her out of bed.
08:09But she didn't see anything?
08:10No.
08:11And she has no idea what the intruders wanted.
08:14She did say that they spoke funny Spanish, so maybe they weren't native speakers.
08:19Okay.
08:20Okay.
08:21Let's go.
08:22I'm driving.
08:24Where are you driving to?
08:26I got a bead on our gang leader, Hex.
08:29Okay.
08:30I'll grab Jacobi.
08:31No, no, no.
08:32No.
08:33He's still at the hospital.
08:34Come on.
08:35Hex is not gonna talk to you without me.
08:36Alright?
08:37Come on.
08:38It'll be an adventure.
08:42Tom Hogan is back on the streets.
08:45Tom Hogan is on the move.
08:46Tom Hogan is talking in third person and it's scaring me.
08:52Okay.
08:53So, if Javier's murder was a gang hit, this could mean the end of the truce between the Western Edition gangs.
08:58Which could mean a war, which could mean bodies piling up faster and we could tag them.
09:06That's a lot of boxes.
09:08Wedding stuff.
09:10Listen, Linz, when we talk to Hex...
09:11Why are your wedding programs bumpy?
09:13Uh...
09:15Seats.
09:16We're having a green wedding.
09:17So, after the reception, our guests can plant the programs, grow flowers.
09:25Wow.
09:26That's, uh...
09:28Really responsible.
09:30Really thought out.
09:31You didn't think things out at our wedding.
09:33Says the woman who suggested pizza for our reception.
09:36Listen, Linz.
09:38Oh, look.
09:39Judging by the tattoos, we're here.
09:43Hex?
09:44Nice suit.
09:45Yeah.
09:46Haven't seen you in the streets for a while.
09:47Lieutenant now.
09:48Homicide.
09:49I need your help with the case.
09:50I'm Inspector Linz.
09:51Do you know a kid named Javier Quiroga?
09:52You can help me out with this case.
09:53Or I can flood your neighborhood with black and whites.
09:54Remind you that we're not actually friends.
09:56Inside.
09:57Your bitch stays here.
09:58I'll be right back.
09:59Important thing is we keep the case moving.
10:01Kobe is such a better partner.
10:02I'll be right back.
10:03I'll be right back.
10:04Important thing is we keep the case moving.
10:06Kobe is such a better partner.
10:07So I'm sorry.
10:08He said I was fucking good.
10:09As I said I'm not I don't know what's going on.
10:10The cops are going on.
10:11But that is what I was going to do.
10:12To do, this is just a better partner.
10:13But I'm sorry.
10:14I can't do with my family.
10:15I'm sorry.
10:16We can't do it.
10:17It's just a better partner.
10:18God.
10:19I'm sorry.
10:20I'll be right back.
10:21The exact important thing is we keep the case moving.
10:29Kobe is such a better partner.
10:42Hi there.
10:43Excuse me. Hi.
10:45I'm looking for Javier Quiroga.
10:48Javier? He's not here.
10:50What can we do for you?
10:52Well, the backsplash in my kitchen is half-tiled.
10:57Ugh, the guy who was doing it disappeared on me.
10:59I'm having his dinner party tomorrow night,
11:01and Javier had some wonderful work on my bathroom last spring.
11:04We'll get you someone else.
11:05The thing is, it has to be Javier.
11:07These guys don't exactly punch a clock.
11:12I think I'll just wait.
11:20Could you guys give me a soda?
11:26Ugh.
11:27I think I might have to use your phone.
11:29Cell reception out here is for crap.
11:31You what?
11:33Hey.
11:34Can I be so, uh, Javier?
11:37No, see?
11:39Let us get you somebody else.
11:40You don't want to deal with a hothead like Javier anyway, right?
11:43Javier was sweet.
11:45Yeah, sweet enough.
11:46He went after another guy in the middle of my sight for stealing his girl.
11:49We bounced them both.
11:50Who did they go after?
11:51Kid named Jaybird.
11:53Why, you want him to do your backsplash?
11:55You know, I think I'm gonna cancel the dinner party.
12:02The situation was completely not dangerous.
12:05Anyway, Javier got into it with a guy named Jaybird over a girl.
12:09Okay, me telling you to stay out of this was not a suggestion.
12:13There are 14 Jaybirds in the system, of course.
12:15Uh, I need to call you back.
12:30I am not done yelling.
12:36Um, yeah.
12:38Tom's phone.
12:40Lindsay?
12:41Yeah, hi.
12:43Tom's not here, but I saw that it was you.
12:48And, uh, did a sailor remember something else?
12:52Oh, not yet.
12:53Where's here?
12:55Uh, in a deserted alley.
12:57We're chasing down a lane.
12:58Well, Tom is.
13:00I'm waiting in the car.
13:01Really?
13:03That's interesting.
13:04Um, okay.
13:06This is sort of weird.
13:07Since Tom isn't there, can I ask you to do me a favor?
13:09Hey, um, got a bunch of birdseed.
13:12Um, a lot of unopened gifts.
13:15This one looks like a blender.
13:16It's a yellow piece of paper with handwriting on it.
13:18Oh, oh, oh.
13:19Yeah, entree.
13:20Free-range organic chicken.
13:21Got it.
13:22I know, in the scheme of things.
13:23Where's Cesar?
13:24Really unimportant.
13:25Hey!
13:26What, you two important to talk to me?
13:27I'm a cop.
13:28Yeah, and last month, it was the meter maid.
13:29Probably that ex-girlfriend of his won't take a hint, right?
13:30Okay.
13:31It's just that if the printer doesn't get the menus by four o'clock today, he can't guarantee
13:32help.
13:33Is this another one of your skeezes, Cesar?
13:34Do you want Tom to drop it off?
13:35I'm gonna whoop her ass!
13:36Show her I mean business!
13:37Yeah, it's not too much trouble.
13:38You're back on me, bitch!
13:39Oh!
13:40Oh!
13:41Hey, come on!
13:42Oh!
13:43What the?
13:44Heather, I have to go.
13:45Oh, stop!
13:46Come on!
13:47Come on!
13:48Come on!
13:49Come on!
13:50You're back on me, bitch!
13:51Oh!
13:52Oh!
13:53Oh!
13:54Oh!
13:55Hey, come on!
13:56Oh!
13:57Oh!
13:58What the?
13:59Heather, I have to go.
14:00Oh, stop!
14:09Oh!
14:10Hey, bitch!
14:11The gun was hers.
14:12The drugs are his.
14:13Take them in.
14:14I'll do the paperwork later.
14:15What'd I miss?
14:16Well, these two have serious communication issues.
14:20Cesar, in addition to sleeping with his ex, is a complete buster.
14:24Oh.
14:25According to the Munchkin.
14:26Hey, I leave you five minutes and come back to a gun's blood and a full-blown domestic dispute.
14:32What'd heck say?
14:34The truce is still on, and...
14:38Javier wasn't a sinkhole.
14:40Well, what about the tattoo?
14:41I don't know.
14:42Maybe the kid was a banger wannabe.
14:45Did you get anything besides your black belt?
14:47Yes, actually.
14:48Uh, I got a call that Javier went at it with a guy named Jaybird over some girl.
14:53So, you wanna take me back?
14:55I'll grab Jacoby and...
14:56What are you talking about?
14:57We're on a roll.
14:59Really?
15:00Yeah.
15:01Okay.
15:02Oh, I almost forgot.
15:03Heather called, and you need to drop off the menu cards.
15:07Mr. Kirilga, I'm Inspector Warren Jacoby, San Francisco Police Department.
15:22Where are my children?
15:24Your daughter's fine.
15:25She's with her teacher, Miss Donnelly.
15:27She knows you, awakes you.
15:28Be here any minute.
15:29My son?
15:30What about my son?
15:36I'm sorry, sir.
15:37Javier was killed last night when you were attacked.
15:41I know this is hard, but I need to ask you a few questions.
15:44Isela!
15:45Papi!
15:46My angelito!
15:47Isela, be careful.
15:48Your father's still hurt.
15:49No.
15:50It's just what I need.
15:51I...
15:52How are you, Angelito?
15:53Heather's not what I expected.
15:54And what did you expect?
15:55I don't know.
15:56I don't know.
15:57Fangs?
15:58Nadia De La Chomp, Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
16:02Jill Bernhardt, Deputy DA.
16:03So, we got a report that illegal immigrants were involved in a crime.
16:04Not a crime.
16:05No.
16:06No.
16:07No.
16:08No.
16:09No.
16:10No.
16:11No.
16:12No.
16:13No.
16:14No.
16:15No.
16:16No.
16:17No.
16:18No.
16:19No.
16:20No.
16:21No.
16:22No.
16:23No.
16:24No.
16:25No.
16:26No.
16:27No.
16:28No.
16:29No.
16:30No.
16:31No.
16:32No.
16:33No.
16:34No.
16:35No.
16:36No.
16:37No.
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53Grants who are witnesses to crimes have been deported.
16:55The red tape becomes a nightmare.
16:56Prosecutions have fallen completely apart because of it.
16:59That's rare.
17:00But I would suggest moving his case along quickly.
17:02You want to depose him while he's still at the detention center.
17:05Excuse me.
17:13That immigration officer sounds a lot like your boss,
17:16who totally hates me, by the way.
17:19Denise hates everyone.
17:20Well, at the moment, Denise is far more concerned with the fact
17:24that Nivaldo clammed up before Jacoby even had a chance to question him.
17:27You don't know if he doesn't remember anything
17:28or if the sight of our friendly immigration agent scared him into silence.
17:33Where's Lindsay?
17:34With Jacoby, I assume.
17:35Since she's not here, let's talk about her.
17:37I booked a whole slew of treatments at the Transcendent Spa
17:39for the day of Tom's wedding.
17:42Distraction. Good plan. I'm in.
17:45Okay, who wants to hear about the contents of Javier Stomach?
17:48You are not going to Tom's wedding.
17:50Okay, I have to go.
17:52Ed's Tom's friend, and Ed wants to go,
17:53and Ed never wants to go anywhere.
17:56I'm a horrible person, right?
17:57You're not a horrible person. You're a good wife.
18:00I have to tell her. I mean, I do, right?
18:02You have to tell her.
18:04This is one event that makes me very happy
18:06to not be a founding member of the club.
18:08Ooh, I'm a horrible person.
18:09Oh, tell us about the stomach contents.
18:12Okay.
18:13Javier, drink a cocktail of Smilax,
18:15Turner Aphrodisiac, and Laryx Decidua.
18:18Some sort of herbal remedy?
18:19Mm-hmm.
18:20Or a potion, like, say,
18:22something that you would get from a bruja.
18:24And if it is of any interest to you,
18:26I track the dragonfly charm
18:28and Javier's protection bracelet
18:29to a bruja on Guerrero Street.
18:30You know about this witch, how?
18:47Because I have secret sources all over town.
18:50We hope to gain what?
18:52You'd rather go back to searching for Jaybird number six?
18:54Wait.
19:00Can I help you?
19:02Yeah.
19:02Uh, we're looking for the witch.
19:05Ah, me la bruja.
19:06I would be my mother, Corazon.
19:08You know, you don't have to believe in her gift,
19:10but you should respect it.
19:11You should respect that we're cops
19:12investigating a murder.
19:14Of course.
19:20Follow me.
19:26May I ask that you prepare yourselves
19:28before ensuring my mother's presence?
19:30I mean, do you really think
19:45people believe in this stuff?
19:47Superstition helps bring order out of chaos.
19:49Is that you talking or Heather?
19:51I'm an ever-evolving being.
19:53You are a...
19:54How can I help you?
19:55I'm Inspector Lindsay Boxer.
19:56This is Tom Hogan.
19:58Lieutenant Tom Hogan.
19:59Lieutenant.
20:00We're investigating the murder of Javier Quiroga.
20:03He was wearing one of your bracelets when he died.
20:05I do not speak of my clients.
20:07Clients?
20:10You're a witch, right?
20:13I am a healer.
20:14People trust me to keep the secrets of their hearts locked inside of mine.
20:23Do you think your staff would be interested in knowing there's an immigration officer buzzing
20:27around today?
20:29Now, when was the last time you saw Javier?
20:31A few days ago.
20:32He wanted a potion to win the return of his beloved.
20:35This is all very lovely and metaphoric, but we need to know about Javier's beloved...
20:41Marisol.
20:42You can find her at the 24th Street Bakery.
20:45Great.
20:46Anything else?
20:47Yes.
20:49A marriage will end soon.
20:55You're a little late.
20:56Thank you, though, and we'll be back if we have any more questions.
21:02Detective.
21:03Yes.
21:05You will need this.
21:07This is all the protection I need.
21:12I meant it for your heart.
21:23Let's go over this one more time.
21:26Nivaldo's your neighbor.
21:28His son Javier is killed, and you still don't know anything.
21:31I keep telling you, I didn't see nothing.
21:34Nobody saw nothing.
21:36Fine.
21:37Come on, let's go.
21:41We said, yeah.
21:43More wall of silence.
21:44Been interviewing neighbors for three hours.
21:46Now, somebody in that building knows something that will spin us the right way, but nobody's
21:50sharing.
21:51I took a closer look at Javier's protection bracelet, and there's a few strands of human
21:55hair woven into the twine.
21:57I find myself incapable of not saying yuck.
22:00Unfortunately, no roots, so no DNA.
22:03But it is colored.
22:04One of those, like, drugstore reds.
22:06Maybe Javier had a girlfriend.
22:08Yeah, he does.
22:09Lindsay and Tom are tracking her down.
22:12Lindsay and Tom?
22:13On the streets together.
22:15Okay, this is not good.
22:16I have people I need to...
22:17Whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:18You know this is not good.
22:19You're her partner.
22:20And Tom's my boss.
22:21Officially, they're on police business.
22:23Unofficially, this whole thing is none of my business.
22:26You know.
22:27I don't know anything.
22:28You know they slept together.
22:29And you let her run off with him?
22:31They're on a police.
22:33We are the only ones that know.
22:34We have to, like, do something.
22:36Like, you know, have an intervention or...
22:37Claire.
22:39If I knew something, I'd say, whatever it is with Lindsay and Tom, the only people who
22:44can figure it out is Lindsay and Tom.
22:47So you're going to the wedding?
22:49Assuming there's a wedding.
22:51There's a wedding.
22:52And yes, I am going.
23:00I'm back.
23:01Let's hit it.
23:03Uh, you sure you want me in there?
23:05No, no, we got this.
23:08You don't get to look at her like that anymore.
23:11So, Marisol, no one told you he was killed?
23:13Javier had the same bracelet on.
23:16Who did he need protection from, you or Jaybird?
23:19Me and Javier got bracelets to protect our hearts.
23:22So why'd you leave him?
23:24All he did was work.
23:25That's why you left him, for another guy?
23:28I didn't leave Javier for no other guy.
23:30Him and his father, just all they wanted to do was work.
23:33All the time and save up money.
23:35They had, like, $5,000 stashed in their apartment.
23:38That's a nice windfall.
23:39You and Jaybird could have had some real fun on that money.
23:42He didn't even know about it.
23:44Javier swarmed his secrecy.
23:46That money was for his sister.
23:47Isela?
23:48No, Pilad, the one in Mexico.
23:51She's older than Isela.
23:53Look, that money was sacred.
23:55It was for the Coyotes to bring her over the border.
23:58It's funny how we didn't find any money in Javier's apartment,
24:00and now Jaybird is MIA.
24:02He's in juvie.
24:03He's been there almost a week.
24:05Okay, what about the tattoo?
24:06We know Javier wasn't a Cinco, but he had their brand on his chest.
24:10Look, that wasn't for a gang.
24:12It was for his family.
24:14He got it right after his mom died to remind him that,
24:17even with her gone, there will always be the five of them.
24:22Javier, Pilad, Isela, and their mom and dad.
24:28Maybe Tom can get the chief to exert some pressure.
24:31Oh, if we can find him.
24:33You made a promise.
24:36Whoa, looks like Tom's in a little trouble.
24:38You said you wouldn't be on the streets anymore.
24:40Uh-oh.
24:42Oh.
24:42I think we should go.
24:47Stop.
24:48You promised me once we were married.
24:51Mistake number one.
24:52She left herself open for a technicality.
24:54Technically, we are not married yet.
24:56Bingo.
24:57Here comes the diversion.
25:00He's going to use the job.
25:01I can't not do my job,
25:03especially when my involvement in the case is crucial.
25:05He's such a liar.
25:07He was not crucial.
25:08I'm going to be the woman who sits at home by the phone
25:10hoping that her cop husband comes home at the end of the night.
25:13You promised that wasn't going to happen,
25:14and then you go out and you chase some gang member with Lindsay.
25:18And he'll totally ignore my name
25:19and then reassure her that nothing will ever go wrong.
25:22Do anything dangerous.
25:24I swear to you.
25:26I'm freaking out about the wedding.
25:27So, what's going on?
25:28Nice.
25:29Larger relationship question in the middle of a big fight.
25:32He'll dodge it with a physical gesture.
25:34You know this guy.
25:35You were wrong, Tom.
25:37I need you to say you were wrong.
25:40Never going to happen.
25:42It's never going to happen.
25:44Okay.
25:46I was wrong.
25:47I broke a promise to you,
25:49and I'm sorry.
25:57Naval does gone.
26:01He disappeared from the hospital.
26:03Nadia is going to ruin me.
26:16She's going to put me on some homeland security no-fly list.
26:20We cannot tell her Nivaldo is on the run.
26:22No, she'll figure it out once he's found dead in a ditch somewhere.
26:25According to his doctor, he could go septic within hours.
26:28Okay.
26:28Nivaldo wakes up.
26:30His son is dead.
26:31There's an ICE agent standing over his bed waiting to deport him.
26:34I'd run, too.
26:35Question is to where?
26:36A friendly ICE agent just requested our case files.
26:39Only it wasn't so much a request.
26:41She knows.
26:42Empty hospital bed was a tip-off.
26:44She also wants Isela.
26:45Why does she want Isela?
26:46Leverage on Nivaldo.
26:47If he wants his daughter, he's going to have to turn himself in.
26:50He's not going to live that long if we don't get to him first.
26:52Where the hell did he go?
26:53Okay, apparently I have to go down to the morgue.
26:58I have to go break the news to Denise.
27:00Pleasure knowing you both.
27:08I know that look.
27:10I don't like it.
27:11Nivaldo Quiroga fled the hospital.
27:13And the ICE agent, Nadia, wants to take his little girl.
27:16This just gets better.
27:17I thought maybe you could take her on.
27:18That reporter, Cindy Thomas, is all over this.
27:21If you play this right, think of the headlines.
27:24Acting district attorney files an injunction against homeland security
27:27to reunite a father and daughter.
27:30You think you know me so well, don't you?
27:32Well, I'm going to help you anyway.
27:34I'll talk to her.
27:35Thanks, Denise.
27:36Don't bother.
27:38This is Rivero.
27:40I heard the bee on the lookout for Nivaldo on my police scanner.
27:43So I started thinking, where do illegal immigrants go
27:46when they're on the run from the police?
27:48Sanctuary churches.
27:49The unis are on it.
27:50Right, but unis, as in guys in uniform,
27:52as in not the folks that these folks are going to talk to.
27:54Granted, they don't really talk to reporters either,
27:56which is why it's lucky I have cultivated some context
27:58in the mission district.
28:00One of them told me about Rivero.
28:02Is it a gunshot wound?
28:03It's through and through.
28:05He'll survive.
28:06But I'm sure it hurts like hell.
28:08Come on.
28:09All right?
28:11The nuns at St. Mary's are trying to treat him.
28:13I refuse to go to a hospital
28:14because hospitals report gunshot wounds.
28:17We know how that works.
28:18So I told him, I had some friends who could help
28:20without going to the police.
28:23I'm the police.
28:24I, well, yeah, I, I know, but yeah, not really, so.
28:27Yeah, really.
28:28Let's start with how he got shot.
28:30A few days ago, two guys wearing masks, gloves,
28:33the whole scary robber bit,
28:34broke into Rivero's apartment on payday,
28:36and when he fought back,
28:37bullet to the ribcage.
28:38Sound familiar?
28:39Does he know the man who shot him?
28:41No idea, but they knew he had cash.
28:50Chico Hunters.
28:51Excuse me?
28:53Chico Hunters, they're strong-arm robbers
28:55who target illegal immigrants.
28:56I've heard of cases in L.A. and in Miami, but...
28:59They target people they know won't go to the police.
29:01It's despicable.
29:02The hunters know their victims are getting paid, right?
29:04Ask him if he's ever worked for Insanel Bay Builders.
29:07Has trabajado con Insanel Bay Builders?
29:11Si.
29:14There were two guys, the construction foreman.
29:18Okay, so they pay their workers, end of the day,
29:22then they wait until they get their money,
29:23and then they put on masks and get the money back at gunpoint,
29:26and whatever else their victims have managed to save up,
29:29it's a nice way to turn a profit.
29:32The foreman, how was their Spanish?
29:34It was kind of not native.
29:37If Sayla said the robbers spoke funny Spanish, I gotta go.
29:41What the hell is going on in here?
29:42Nothing. You don't see him, okay?
29:44He's just here enjoying fine medical care.
29:46Okay, I need to see you now.
30:00This better be good.
30:01What do you got?
30:08Hey, right here, to me, or we're leaving.
30:14Dude came to my neighborhood a couple of hours ago.
30:17He was looking for a gun.
30:18Why do you think it's our guy?
30:20He had blood on his shirt,
30:22and he was wearing a hospital bracelet.
30:25Sounds like Navala.
30:26He's not running.
30:32He knows who killed Javier.
30:33He's out to avenge his son.
30:34Novaldo has a gun.
30:45He is out on the streets looking for you right now.
30:48Tell us what you know about Novaldo.
30:50I know I had nothing to do with any robbery.
30:52Good.
30:53Then you won't mind reading this out loud for me.
30:56Bring her in.
31:03Hi, sweetie.
31:05Ready?
31:07Okay.
31:09Go ahead.
31:12Dame tu dinero.
31:13Dime onde es tu su dinero.
31:25Have you heard those voices before?
31:30Miss Hila, are you sure?
31:33We just need you to tell the truth.
31:35It's all right if you're not sure.
31:39I don't know.
31:40That's okay, sweetie.
31:43You did a good job.
31:46Big job.
31:47There you go.
31:56Hi, Selah.
31:57My name is Nadia.
31:59What's going on?
31:59We're taking custody.
32:01When her father is found,
32:02she can rejoin him in Mexico.
32:03Can she do this?
32:04No.
32:04You can't just come in here
32:05and grab a little girl.
32:06It's better that all the adults in the room
32:08keep their voices modulated.
32:09We want to make this transition
32:10as easy as possible for you, Selah.
32:23Let's go, Selah.
32:24I tried.
32:39God, that woman is a bitch.
32:45So, Selah may recognize their voices.
32:47She may not recognize their voices.
32:49Which means I can't even get you a search warrant.
32:52Meanwhile, Nivaldo is out there somewhere,
32:54possibly septic, with a gun.
32:56And unlike us, he knows who he's after.
32:58Plus side, he can't be moving very fast.
33:01He's in pain.
33:02Ice is looking for him.
33:03I mentioned how much I hate this weekend.
33:05And what is that stench?
33:07Trash can.
33:08Someone must have tried to treat Rivero's ruin
33:09with a homemade poultice.
33:11Yeah, it's stinky.
33:12Didn't you say that brujas sometimes serve as herbalists?
33:15Yeah, you're thinking Ensenal Bay Builders
33:18wasn't the only link between Javier, Nivaldo, and Rivero.
33:20Bruja has clients throughout the immigrant community.
33:23People tell her their secrets.
33:24Personal and financial.
33:26She could have known that Javier and Nivaldo
33:28had $5,000 saved for the coyotes.
33:31So what, a 60-year-old witch
33:33is the Jesse James of the Mission District?
33:35Think about it.
33:35She gets secret information from her clients,
33:38passes it on to her sons,
33:39and then sits back while they do the dirty work.
33:42Oh, I think it's time
33:43I gave this brujas crystal ball a shake.
33:52That's right!
33:52That's the crazy guy in there!
33:56Come on!
34:03Put him down!
34:06Drop the gun!
34:06Put him down right now!
34:07My mom!
34:08He's got my mom!
34:08Put the gun down!
34:10Put it up!
34:14Back away from it.
34:17Nivaldo.
34:25Please!
34:25I swear I had nothing to do with this.
34:28Put the gun down, Nivaldo.
34:28She killed my son.
34:30No, I didn't.
34:31I didn't know anything about it.
34:33She's the only one I told about the money.
34:35I bought a charm to make the money grow.
34:37She knew it was for Pilar to bring her from Mexico.
34:41You don't want to do this, man.
34:43I trusted her.
34:45She has to pay for what happened to Javier, senor.
34:47Your daughters trust you.
34:49They trust you to do what's best for them.
34:51If you kill her, you will lose a sailor.
34:53You will lose both of your daughters.
34:54They need you, Nivaldo.
34:57There will be no justice in your system for my son.
35:01I have to do it myself before they send me away.
35:05Put that gun down, and I promise you I will not let immigration take you or your daughter
35:09anywhere.
35:10All right?
35:10And you let me worry about the justice.
35:15Come on.
35:33Gracias.
35:33You saved my life.
35:36Once I get a search warrant in here, I don't know how much of a life it's going to be,
35:39but I hear protection bracelets are all the rage at Chochilla.
35:59Gisela.
36:00Papi.
36:01Venga, mi Angelito, venga.
36:03Venga con papi, venga.
36:05Ah!
36:06I'll make a million promises when people are holding guns.
36:10I'd like to keep this one.
36:12Let me give it a try.
36:18Hey.
36:18Hey.
36:20So you got the guys killed Javier?
36:22Yeah.
36:23We found a stash of stolen goods in their storage unit and a list of financial information
36:28in the Bruja's handwriting with Nivaldo and Rivero and several other targets.
36:34So, yeah, it's over.
36:37Thanks.
36:40Listen, um, about Tom being out on the street earlier, that's my fault.
36:47I needed his help with the gang connection thing, and I'm sorry.
36:51Lindsay, I think you and I both know that's not true, but I appreciate that you said it.
37:00Okay.
37:01See ya.
37:03See ya.
37:10Hey.
37:11Hey.
37:14Still mad at me?
37:15I don't know.
37:15I got, like, three days worth of grudge still left in me.
37:21I like her.
37:24Yeah.
37:24So, um, De La Chaunf, is it Haitian?
37:34Mm-hmm.
37:36Two-com-one show?
37:38Your whole body is hot.
37:40It is the only Creole I know.
37:43My family's originally from the Dominican Republic,
37:45so you and I, we share the same island of different histories.
37:49The Dominican.
37:51First-generation American.
37:52You?
37:54So, Nadia, I know what it's like.
37:58As a homicide inspector, people hate seeing you coming.
38:02Most of my days are spent being lied to.
38:04I learned early on not to get personally involved.
38:06Well, that's easier for some than others.
38:08Well, my first time in the field,
38:11I found a family of six dead in a storage container
38:14in 120-degree heat.
38:16When we pulled the bodies out,
38:18one little girl, four years old,
38:21barely hanging on.
38:22I visited her in the hospital every single day.
38:27Did she make it?
38:31No.
38:34Well, I, uh, guess we got lucky this time.
38:43Sometimes, in special cases,
38:48amnesty can be granted to illegal immigrants
38:50who aid in the conviction of criminal enterprises.
38:54If that's true,
38:56I know a great late-night mom-and-pop spot
38:58over at Noe Valley.
38:59They serve a nice Chivo-Pagante.
39:02Might remind us of the island.
39:04Plus, uh, we can talk about
39:07maybe you pulling some strings
39:08to get enough all those daughter of Isa.
39:10Oh, you smooth.
39:12Well, you know.
39:14I could try calling her again.
39:17No, if she wanted to come, she'd be here.
39:18Is there something going on
39:20that I should know about?
39:21Lindsay spent half the day
39:22driving around with Tom.
39:23Lieutenant Tom?
39:24As in ex-husband,
39:25soon to be remarried, Tom.
39:27That's up, that's up, that's up.
39:30Hey.
39:31Hey.
39:33Did I miss something?
39:35We were just talking about Jacoby
39:36and his date with Nadia the Ice Princess.
39:38He's way too sexy for her.
39:42Is that just me?
39:44First, ew.
39:47Second, you were totally talking about me.
39:50They were worried about you,
39:51that you might be disturbed.
39:53After your antics with Tom,
39:54you two out on the streets together,
39:55blood pumping.
39:56We were solving a murder,
39:58and if you must know...
39:59As in you decided to tell him
40:00how you really feel
40:01and begged him to call off the wedding?
40:04I've read between a lot of lines
40:06these last few weeks.
40:08No.
40:10As in...
40:12I finally figured out
40:13why Tom took the lieutenant job.
40:16And that it wasn't to be closer to me.
40:20Heather didn't want to have to worry about him
40:22being out on the streets.
40:24So, you know,
40:25he settled down behind the desk.
40:29And that can't be easy for him.
40:31You know?
40:32But he did it anyway.
40:35Because she asked him to.
40:37And he...
40:41He loves her.
40:46Well, clearly,
40:48he's whipped.
40:52Actually, he's kind of great.
40:55They're great.
40:56Together.
41:00So,
41:01it turns out
41:03Tom's not so bad
41:05at being in a relationship.
41:07Which means he isn't the problem.
41:09Or he wasn't.
41:12Or I was the problem.
41:17Well, if it makes you feel any better,
41:20I want to be just like you
41:22when I grow up.
41:24Oh.
41:28And I know you're going to Tom's wedding.
41:30I saw his guest list in the car.
41:32I was gonna tell you.
41:33She was so not gonna tell you.
41:35There's been a lot of freaking out
41:36on the subject.
41:38Wait, Jacobi's going to.
41:39Oh, maybe he'll bring Nadia.
41:40I know I am disturbed.
41:41I don't know.
