本站添加: 2026-05-31

[00:00:10]You are listening to KRCW Los Angeles with news just in of a grizzly homicide in Roondo Beach. Sonia Jacobson is live at the scene.

[00:00:18]>> That's right, Nick. I'm here in Rodondo Beach where the LAPD are investigating a murder last night of 22-year-old Lisa's office. They're not confirming any details, but officers I've spoken to are saying that it has all the signs of a serial murderer. They're calling it the window killer and would bring his known tally of victims in Southland over the last 2 years to 15. That nickname, by the way, is because he takes his victim's eyes with him as some kind of sick trophy. I'm being told now that the LAPD are going all out to find this maniac as we roll into the holiday weekend.

[00:00:56]What the [ __ ] Civilian.

[00:01:03]>> All right, ready to go.

[00:01:26]What the [ __ ] is this?

[00:01:33]Jeez. What the [ __ ] are you looking at?

[00:01:38]Move on, [ __ ] little Clear.

[00:02:47]Can I help you, sir?

[00:02:49]>> I'm here to make a deposit.

[00:02:53]>> All right, 5 minutes, folks. Final weapons check.

[00:02:56]>> Oh, man. We did that already.

[00:02:57]>> We'll do it again. Echo 3 is a soft target. There's no guards, skeleton staff, handful of civilians. Nobody is getting shot today, so I want safety's on, chambers empty.

[00:03:10]>> We might as well go in with squirt guns.

[00:03:12]>> Hey, you know what? I got a butter knife in my pocket.

[00:03:14]>> Try to chill the [ __ ] out.

[00:03:20]>> I'm afraid we're not accepting deposits.

[00:03:22]>> Actually, as you can see, we're we're closing down.

[00:03:25]>> Didn't you get our letter?

[00:03:27]>> I don't get mail.

[00:03:29]>> I see.

[00:03:31]Um, >> what about her?

[00:03:35]>> Well, she got our letter. We've asked all our customers to come in and empty out their boxes.

[00:03:40]>> What if they don't?

[00:03:42]>> Well, the feds come in and they take everything to a secret storage and and then they trace the owners.

[00:03:48]>> I don't want that.

[00:03:49]>> Most of our customers feel the same way.

[00:03:51]But it is procedure.

[00:03:53]>> Why don't I take my stuff now?

[00:03:56]>> Well, you would need to have the letter.

[00:03:58]>> I told you.

[00:03:59]>> Yes. You don't get mail. Um, do you have ID?

[00:04:07]I have this.

[00:04:13]>> Well, Reverend, I tell you what. Uh, come over to the counter and, uh, I'll sort you out.

[00:04:25]You'll have hot in 5 minutes.

[00:04:28]Masks on. Somebody wake up bigs.

[00:04:40]>> Here you are. Can you have that back?

[00:04:44]>> So, how long now?

[00:04:48]>> Uh, just a few moments, right?

[00:04:50]>> I'm sorry again, Mrs. Waxman. I know this has all been very inconvenient.

[00:04:54]>> I'm afraid that that's not good enough, young man. I have had an account here for 50 years. That is no way to treat a customer closing down like this.

[00:05:03]>> Well, times change, I'm afraid. We're all very sad here. Now, if you want to take a seat, I'll call a cab to take you home.

[00:05:11]>> [ __ ] you, >> Annie.

[00:05:19]>> Yes, sir. The Reverend would like to empty his box.

[00:05:23]>> Is he on the list? Well, he didn't get the letter, but I I process him and he's he's set to go.

[00:05:30]>> It's all very irregular.

[00:05:31]>> Mhm.

[00:05:33]>> But I suppose it'll be all right. Uh you can take him back as soon as I finish with Mrs. Cohen.

[00:05:38]>> Yes, sir.

[00:05:38]>> I need to do this now.

[00:05:41]>> As I'm sure has been explained to you, it's one at a time today.

[00:05:47]So, if you don't mind waiting your turn I'm sure you won't mind if I go first.

[00:06:28]Um, well, I've been here for hours and I'm almost late for my Pilates class, so um, okay, it's that important to you.

[00:06:49]>> And are you sure?

[00:06:55]Yeah.

[00:07:05]>> You see, she's happy that I go first.

[00:07:09]>> Okay.

[00:07:11]If you'll follow me, I'll take you back.

[00:07:17]After you, sir.

[00:07:22]No heat.

[00:08:01]We really are in the process of closing up. So, so I am sorry about the mess down here. Watch your step here.

[00:08:10]Been uh making your year long.

[00:08:32]Heat. Heat.

[00:08:51]Nobody move.

[00:08:56]Everybody stay right where you are.

[00:09:13]Echo two clear.

[00:09:15]>> Echo three.

[00:09:16]>> Clear.

[00:09:17]>> Echo two clear.

[00:09:19]>> Echo one.

[00:09:24]>> You know what this is?

[00:09:26]>> There's nothing here for you.

[00:09:28]We're closing down. Everything is gone.

[00:09:31]>> Not everything. You know who owns this place.

[00:09:34]>> Of course we do. Let's have the fun.

[00:09:45]>> Sit down.

[00:09:51]>> What do you want me to do about them?

[00:09:53]>> I don't know.

[00:09:55]>> Going to behave.

[00:09:56]>> Listen, young man. I wish you'd get on with whatever you're going to do because I don't want to sit here all day. Yes, ma'am. We'll be as quick as we can. Help him.

[00:10:05]>> Hey, get your hands off me, [ __ ] >> Are you [ __ ] talking to me, [ __ ] Where's your phone?

[00:10:11]>> I left it in my car.

[00:10:12]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:10:17]Okay.

[00:10:22]>> Listen, I've been tied up by better people than you.

[00:10:25]>> Oh, Christ, old lady. It's not a [ __ ] competition. Where's your phone? But I haven't had one for years. Jesus. God.

[00:10:34]Living in the dark ages. I'm all set here.

[00:10:37]>> Echo 5, is that everyone?

[00:10:39]>> We're missing two, boss. Two males, employee, civilian.

[00:10:44]>> Where are they?

[00:10:46]>> I I I don't know what you mean.

[00:10:48]>> Stop wasting our [ __ ] time.

[00:10:55]Jes little stuffy in here.

[00:11:05]I switched off the AC last week. So, do you have your key?

[00:11:21]I've got it from here.

[00:11:24]>> I'm supposed to stay with you.

[00:11:30]>> My possessions are very personal.

[00:11:35]I'd like privacy, please.

[00:11:38]>> I'm I'm sorry.

[00:11:40]It's procedure.

[00:11:45]>> Stay here. Sure.

[00:11:55]>> What did I tell you?

[00:11:57]>> This guy is messing with us. Next one goes in your head. Where are they?

[00:12:02]>> In the back in the vault.

[00:12:31]Are you looking for me?

[00:12:35]>> Oh [ __ ] >> What?

[00:12:41]>> Sorry, Danny.

[00:12:48]You weren't supposed to be here, Paul.

[00:12:51]What the [ __ ] man?

[00:12:53]>> Yeah. What the hell is going on here?

[00:12:55]>> Should I tell them?

[00:12:59]This is my brother, Danny.

[00:13:04]>> You've got to be [ __ ] kidding me.

[00:13:05]>> It's been a few years.

[00:13:07]>> Yeah. I thought I'd never see you again.

[00:13:09]>> We took different paths.

[00:13:12]I thought you had the day off. Checked the roa. Your assistant manager got sick, so I picked up for him. Is everyone okay? This is why I >> I I really need to go home. Please help me.

[00:13:25]>> Absolutely. I'm sure we all would.

[00:13:27]>> Look, this nice little family reunion, it's really [ __ ] touching. But now what? Paul, >> nothing changes. Stick to the plan, we're gone in 10 minutes.

[00:13:38]>> Everything's [ __ ] screwed up. You took off your [ __ ] mask.

[00:13:43]Your face is going to be all over the 10:00 NEWS. AND THEN HOW LONG BEFORE they figure out who the [ __ ] we are?

[00:13:47]>> They shut off the cameras last week.

[00:13:50]Isn't that right?

[00:13:55]You're welcome to leave.

[00:13:58]>> I give up my share. You'd like that.

[00:14:02]>> Well, then I suggest that you shut up and do your [ __ ] job.

[00:14:08]We're still missing a guy, boss.

[00:14:12]>> Any idea who's standing?

[00:14:15]>> He's in the vault.

[00:14:16]>> Okay, Echo 3, get to the vault. Secure the guy. Do your thing. Echo 5, get some cuffs on Danny here, and then you and Echo 4, get everyone in the back room.

[00:14:29]>> Stick to the plan, people, and we're out in 10 minutes. Walky's on channel 6.

[00:14:35]Hey. Hey. Yeah. Don't worry. When we're done here, I'm taking care of business my way.

[00:14:44]>> Hey, Paul.

[00:14:53]>> Take a walk. We're all set, boss.

[00:14:56]We're going on a walk.

[00:15:09]Well, that was fun.

[00:17:03]>> Well, you'd have to ask our parents about that.

[00:17:07]>> Oh, you think you're smart, don't you?

[00:17:10]>> Yeah, with your stupid [ __ ] little tie and your stupid [ __ ] hairdo.

[00:17:16]Well, you're not going to feel very smart when this is over.

[00:17:20]>> What does that mean?

[00:17:21]>> What she means is you won't be leaving any witnesses.

[00:17:24]>> What? Whoa. Whoa. The boss said >> the boss boss's a [ __ ] wuss. Tracy's going to handle things from here on out.

[00:33:53]The eye is the lamp of your body. So if the eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if the eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great then is the darkness.

[00:34:32]I did the best I could do.

[00:34:36]Use the hospital.

[00:34:38]>> Yeah, I know.

[00:34:39]>> Mhm.

[00:34:42]>> Okay, you stay here.

[00:34:44]Just keep watch. If we start killing cops, we can get messy.

[00:34:49]>> Shit's already messy.

[00:34:52]>> Yeah.

[00:34:55]I'm going to go to the vault and sort this [ __ ] out.

[00:35:22]Stop it.

[00:35:27]>> Holy mother of [ __ ] We're getting jumpy back here.

[00:35:33]>> The hell is going on?

[00:35:34]>> Cops. They shot Rick.

[00:35:37]>> What the [ __ ] >> Somebody must have made a call.

[00:35:40]>> A call.

[00:35:42]Oh, that [ __ ] Danny. I knew he was up to something. I'm going to kill him.

[00:35:47]It's >> best not to. Okay, we need all the hostages.

[00:35:50]>> For what? We're making a last stand at the [ __ ] Alamo here.

[00:35:54]>> No, we need time.

[00:35:57]>> Time. Time for what?

[00:35:58]>> Big has got a plan. I always got a plan.

[00:36:01]AJ, what's in her bag?

[00:36:07]You mean >> Wait, what about Tracy? Did she get the stuff?

[00:36:12]>> Better ask Paul. He's looking into it.

[00:36:15]>> Looking into what? What the [ __ ] Bigs.

[00:36:22]>> Screw this. We should rush them.

[00:36:26]>> Are you kidding?

[00:36:27]>> Well, we've got shotguns in the car.

[00:36:28]Yeah.

[00:36:29]>> What do you guys have? Like a death wish or something? There's at least three guys in there with M4s who aren't afraid to use them and probably more inside.

[00:36:34]Not to mention an unknown number of hostages. God, what did they teach you about hostage situations at the academy?

[00:36:40]>> Deploy overwhelming force.

[00:36:42]>> Yeah, you two don't look so overwhelming.

[00:36:45]>> So, what? We just sit here and wait for backup.

[00:36:47]>> Look, you guys want to be useful? Why don't you go check the perimeter? See if there's a back way out of here.

[00:36:50]>> You can handle this alone?

[00:36:52]>> Probably feel a little safer, actually.

[00:36:54]Okay, >> we're on it, detective.

[00:36:55]>> Great.

[00:37:05]This is Detective Pascal, robbery homicide, badge number 5397.

[00:37:09]>> Go ahead.

[00:37:10]>> I want to text you a photo for facial ID.

[00:37:12]>> Copy that.

[00:37:13]>> All right. Thanks. I'm sending you out.

[00:37:17]>> Where are you, mister?

[00:38:08]What the [ __ ] Jesus Christ.

[00:38:50]All right, heads up. Heads up, everyone.

[00:38:51]I'm in the vault. Tracy's dead.

[00:38:54]What do you mean Tracy's dead?

[00:38:56]>> I mean dead. She's been [ __ ] killed.

[00:38:58]She's in the vault with me.

[00:39:01]>> Who did it?

[00:39:02]>> Best guess is it's the guy we never found.

[00:39:05]>> I think he's moving around in the air vents. Old place like this, there's a whole network up. They're plenty big enough.

[00:39:13]>> Well, then let's go [ __ ] get him.

[00:39:15]>> Negative. Allie, we don't have time for a wild goose chase.

[00:39:19]>> You [ __ ] killed Tracy.

[00:39:20]>> Okay. Well, we can get the guy or we can get out of here. But he can't do both.

[00:39:23]I'm sorry, but that's the choice. Now that we know what we're up against, we can stop him if he tries anything.

[00:39:31]>> So [ __ ] up. We're bottled up in a [ __ ] bank.

[00:39:34]>> What about the stuff?

[00:39:36]>> Are you serious? It's >> the [ __ ] reason we came here, isn't it?

[00:39:39]>> I've got the stuff.

[00:39:42]Well, >> that's something.

[00:39:44]>> So now what?

[00:39:46]>> We go to plan B. Things is already working on it. Just need a couple hours.

[00:39:52]Meanwhile, stay frosty.

[00:39:55]May only be one guy, but he took down Tracy, so he's no [ __ ] And >> one more thing, >> he's handy with a knife. He's some kind of sickle.

[00:40:07]>> Gouched out Tracy's eyes.

[00:40:25]Oh man, this keeps getting better. Uh, >> what?

[00:40:31]>> I I need to go to the bathroom.

[00:40:33]>> Well, you're just going to have to hold it, you old bag.

[00:40:35]>> No, I mean I really need to go to the bathroom now.

[00:40:38]>> What'd you forget your diapers? Did you, >> [ __ ] >> Come on, guys. What harm can you do?

[00:40:44]He's right. I think we're going to be here for a while.

[00:40:49]>> Damn it.

[00:40:51]Come on, Grandma Moses.

[00:40:56]>> Where's the bathroom?

[00:40:57]>> It's all the way down the hall. Take a left.

[00:41:01]>> Move it.

[00:41:03]Come on.

[00:41:17]>> Anything up? She >> keeping her head down. Any more cops?

[00:41:22]>> Not yet.

[00:41:24]>> Well, should have called for backup so it'll get busy soon enough.

[00:41:28]>> Shit's really [ __ ] up. A >> Yeah, but we still going to get out of here, right?

[00:41:33]>> Yeah, that's the plan.

[00:41:37]>> What? Where's you two separated brothers?

[00:41:41]>> No, we're actually really close. We grew up together. Happy family.

[00:41:46]>> So, what happened? We joined the military.

[00:41:49]>> Same unit.

[00:41:50]>> No, we uh deployed at the same time, but uh I was in the core. Danny was always better than me and everything, so he ended up in the Rangers.

[00:41:59]>> Well, you go in as brothers and you come out as what? Enemies.

[00:42:03]>> I want to talk about it. Oh, come on, man. You ain't got nothing better to do for next hour. So, go ahead and humor me.

[00:42:09]>> Other than dodge a [ __ ] psycho serial killer on the loose.

[00:42:12]>> Yeah, there's that.

[00:42:20]Wait, this is the men's room.

[00:42:23]>> So take a [ __ ] dump in the urinal, [ __ ] bag.

[00:42:28]>> Thank you, [ __ ] Well, we both saw some pretty [ __ ] up [ __ ] At least I know I did. And I I think Danny had the same. Maybe worse. We both came back in one piece. But uh you know, something like that changes a man. A lot of vets are really [ __ ] up in the head. Me, I just learned that life is short and crappy and you got to take what you can while you can. You know, >> that's the life of crime.

[00:43:08]>> Yeah.

[00:43:09]>> And your brother, >> I guess after all the mayhem and chaos, he just wanted something structure in his life, a little bit of order.

[00:43:18]>> Did he know about you before today?

[00:43:21]>> No, I know. I don't. No, not really. He uh he knew I fell off the map.

[00:43:27]>> So, let me get this straight.

[00:43:29]Why we out here doing all this felonious [ __ ] your brother playing superhero, holding back the tides of chaos.

[00:43:38]I never pegged you for a philosopher, but yeah, I guess uh guess we're two sides of the same coin.

[00:43:57]Time's up, old woman.

[00:44:05]Oh [ __ ] I'm coming in having a few problems. Are you Wow.

[00:44:58]I'm coming in, you son of a [ __ ] Wow.

[00:45:32]Aha.

[00:45:38]Come on, Ally. What the [ __ ] I don't think they're coming back.

[00:45:42]>> Shut the [ __ ] up.

[00:45:48]They've been gone a long time.

[00:45:50]Something's moving around up there.

[00:45:52]>> You don't know [ __ ] I know you need to keep your eye on that vent. I know you need to shut your [ __ ] mouth and let me handle this. Okay. Just trying to help.

[00:46:10]Boss, they're everywhere.

[00:46:54]And so I began.

[00:46:57]>> Thanks. Update.

[00:47:01]I'm about done here. Machine rooms next time.

[00:47:05]>> I'll know when I get there.

[00:47:11]>> Took you long enough.

[00:47:12]>> Yeah, we had to stop for donuts.

[00:47:15]>> So, what do we got, detective?

[00:47:17]>> Well, we've got multiple purps with automatic weapons. You know how to use them, too. So, I'm thinking some kind of military background. Possible hostages.

[00:47:26]>> Any comms?

[00:47:27]>> No, not yet. But I did talk to one of them.

[00:47:29]>> Yeah, I know. That photo you emailed really got him excited at headquarters and feds are taking a big interest in these guys.

[00:47:38]>> What are they doing here?

[00:47:39]>> AJ. Ally update.

[00:47:43]>> This is AJ.

[00:47:46]>> What is it?

[00:47:47]>> Allie's gone. Ma'am, >> what do you mean gone?

[00:47:50]>> She took the old lady to the bathroom >> down the hall and she never came back.

[00:47:55]>> Now you're telling me.

[00:47:59]Hey guys, I think you're going to want to come in here and listen to this.

[00:48:05]>> So, I've been scanning frequencies in case they're using radios.

[00:48:09]>> Hey, I'll put it on speaker.

[00:48:11]>> Yep. Okay.

[00:48:14]>> Okay, AJ, sit tight. Uh, we're getting out of here. We'll find Aliat after.

[00:48:18]Okay, sit tight. We're being picked off like fries here. We got to do something.

[00:48:23]>> Like what?

[00:48:24]>> There are four of us and one of him, we've got automatic weapons. He's got a [ __ ] knife.

[00:48:29]>> Be patient, AJ. So, I'll be over soon.

[00:48:32]>> All right. But if he does one more thing, if anything else happens, I'm going after him. I'm under the eyes, man. It's [ __ ] disgusting.

[00:48:42]>> You don't think?

[00:48:43]>> This is LA. Nothing shocks me anymore.

[00:48:51]Guess it's time to talk to the cops.

[00:49:03]>> Hey, detective.

[00:49:07]>> What's this?

[00:49:10]>> Looks like you need to go and talk to him, detective.

[00:49:13]>> Last time that didn't go so well.

[00:49:16]>> Well, then it sounds like you've already got a report.

[00:49:24]You surrendering?

[00:49:26]>> We need to talk. I'm unarmed.

[00:49:35]>> All right.

[00:49:36]So, why didn't you tell me what the hell's going on here?

[00:49:39]>> We got hostages.

[00:49:42]>> How many?

[00:49:44]>> I can't tell you that.

[00:49:47]>> How many are you? I can't tell you that either.

[00:49:49]>> Wow, that's great.

[00:49:52]>> Quite the turnout you got here.

[00:49:54]>> Yeah, when the LAPD gets its head out of its ass, we throw a real good party.

[00:50:00]>> So, we have demands.

[00:50:03]>> I'm sure you do.

[00:50:06]>> I'll play 747 at LAX. Space shuttle.

[00:50:10]Maybe >> just a school bus and a medic for my guy. You have 2 hours.

[00:50:16]>> School bus.

[00:50:18]You want to? I >> can't tell you that. No, >> of course you can't tell me that.

[00:50:25]>> So, what happens if we don't?

[00:50:26]>> When we start shooting hostages.

[00:50:30]>> Yeah. I don't really think you're the type.

[00:50:33]>> You don't know my type.

[00:50:35]>> I'm guessing you served.

[00:50:38]>> Core. You >> my husband.

[00:50:46]You didn't come back.

[00:50:48]>> Idi out of Baghdad.

[00:50:52]>> I'm sorry.

[00:50:54]>> Which is why I don't understand why guys like you do [ __ ] like this. I mean, you made it back.

[00:51:02]You should be doing something good.

[00:51:04]>> Well, we all have our reasons.

[00:51:08]>> Sorry about you, friend.

[00:51:09]>> Yeah.

[00:51:10]>> I hope I'm getting you a medic.

[00:51:11]>> Thank you. What about the bus?

[00:51:14]>> What do we get? Oh, you give me the medic. I'll start releasing hostages.

[00:51:19]Fair enough.

[00:51:22]>> I'm going to go back inside now.

[00:51:28]>> Simplify, detective.

[00:51:40]>> Big status update.

[00:51:48]It's going to be a few minutes.

[00:51:49]>> All right, we need to get the hostages ready. Go help AJ bring them down.

[00:51:54]>> What about Ally?

[00:51:56]>> Hostages first, then we look for Ally.

[00:51:59]>> Okay, hostages first.

[00:52:09]>> Hey, detective. If uh we're out back, but there's no doors, just a window.

[00:52:15]>> Is it big enough to get through?

[00:52:16]>> Um I'm sure we could work it out.

[00:52:19]>> You know what? You guys stay there. If this thing goes off, you might need to go inside.

[00:52:23]>> Roger.

[00:52:24]>> AJ in here.

[00:52:25]>> Get him on his feet.

[00:52:27]>> Let's go. Heard him. My move for a walk.

[00:52:29]Let's go.

[00:52:32]>> No ideas. Okay.

[00:52:33]>> I guess you talked to Paul about me, huh?

[00:52:35]>> Mhm.

[00:52:36]>> Yeah. We're not the same.

[00:52:37]>> Yeah, I got that.

[00:52:38]>> You were with the Rangers, right? once.

[00:52:40]>> Yeah. So, you got that field medical training. You can stitch, right?

[00:52:44]>> Sure. But >> so when I get your ass downstairs, you going to take care of my boy Rick.

[00:52:49]>> Gunshot.

[00:52:51]>> You going to take care of my boy Rick or not?

[00:52:53]>> You got a trauma bag?

[00:52:54]>> I got a first aid kit.

[00:52:56]>> Well, then he needs a hospital. There's nothing I can do.

[00:52:58]>> See, that's the wrong answer. When I get your ass downstairs, you going to take care of my brother Rick. You going to stabilize him. Now they sitting in American. That's what you going to do.

[00:53:07]Let's go.

[00:53:08]>> Move.

[00:53:09]Let's go.

[00:53:11]AJ, >> the medic I get with the bus.

[00:53:15]>> Yeah, seems too simple.

[00:53:17]>> What's your take?

[00:53:20]>> I think they're up to something. Just get the feeling we're about to be had, you know?

[00:53:31]>> Looks like the feds are crashing our party.

[00:53:47]Captain Franklin.

[00:53:50]>> This is Detective Pascal. She was first on the scene.

[00:53:52]>> I'm Sinclair. This is Chen. These two, Smith and Jones.

[00:53:56]>> Where are the others coming?

[00:53:57]>> We're it. One team, one crisis.

[00:53:59]>> That's not SWAT protocol.

[00:54:01]>> We're not SWAT.

[00:54:02]>> Then who the [ __ ] are you? Detective DoD >> contractors.

[00:54:08]>> What the hell happened to SWAT?

[00:54:09]>> SWAT is who cops like you call when you get into trouble? Who do you think SWAT calls?

[00:54:16]>> Just smell the testosterone from here.

[00:54:19]>> Let me tell you what we got.

[00:54:20]>> I know what you got. You got him.

[00:54:24]>> You know him.

[00:54:25]>> Been chasing him for years. When your detective sent the photo through for ID, all the lights went red. So, here we are. All right, Jen, you go up high.

[00:54:35]Up there should be good.

[00:54:36]>> All right, Chief >> Smith, you're it.

[00:54:39]>> 2 minutes.

[00:54:40]>> Jones, you're with me.

[00:54:41]>> So, what is a master criminal doing in a rinky jing dump like this? I mean, the place isn't even open anymore.

[00:54:46]>> You don't know, do you?

[00:54:49]>> There's 100 million in beer bonds in a safety deposit box. It's cartel money.

[00:54:53]>> Doesn't sound like your cartel operation.

[00:54:56]>> It's not.

[00:54:58]Our guy's been making a career ripping off the cartel. must have a death wish or something.

[00:55:04]Anyway, this should have been an easy job for him. Something must have gone wrong inside. Our lucky day.

[00:55:09]>> Yeah, about that. There's been a development.

[00:55:12]>> You listening?

[00:55:13]>> There's a possibility there's a wanted serial killer. Wendos operating on the inside.

[00:55:19]Sounds like he's taken out a couple of your man's crew.

[00:55:22]>> And you know this for sure.

[00:55:23]>> We intercepted the radio traffic.

[00:55:26]>> Chief, we heard they want a medic inside. Smith's going in.

[00:55:29]>> I know. Wait just a minute. This man is wanted by the LAPD. That makes this an LAPD operation.

[00:55:35]>> I'm not going to stand here and argue jurisdiction with you, Captain. You don't have positive confirmation that this Windows guy is even in there. And the radio calls you heard could be deliberate misinformation. What I know for sure is that there is a very dangerous armed criminal inside. And your men do not have the training or equipment to take him on. We do. You got a problem? Take it up the chain of command. Until then, this is our operation. Clear.

[00:56:05]>> Fine. Have it your way. But this is still a joint operation. Detective Pascal will act as liaison.

[00:56:16]>> Get me headquarters. Welcome aboard, Detective.

[00:56:25]>> Move. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Come on. Move. Move. Move.

[00:56:34]Not you. You and me. Go.

[00:56:36]>> Sit down. Don't [ __ ] move.

[00:56:38]>> There he is. He's over there.

[00:56:41]Stitch.

[00:56:46]>> Washington.

[00:56:52]>> Sinclair.

[00:56:54]Must have been the picture the detective took. Shit's about to get interesting.

[00:56:58]>> Yeah.

[00:56:59]>> So, what's the plan?

[00:57:01]>> Smith will go in as a medic and get intel.

[00:57:05]>> Jen will take overwatch and shoot out bad guys. Once he gets a clean shot, Jones and me will breach.

[00:57:11]>> What about the hostages?

[00:57:13]>> We don't know that there are any hostages. Smith will tell us, but it doesn't matter a whole damn we're going to breach anyway.

[00:57:18]>> This is pretty much the worst idea I've ever heard. It's going to be a blood bath in there.

[00:57:23]>> You're playing with the big boys now, detective. This is how we roll.

[00:57:27]>> Whatever happens in there is on you.

[00:57:30]>> Damn right it is.

[00:57:33]>> What happens if Windows is actually in there?

[00:57:35]>> We'll take him down, too.

[00:57:37]>> He's our caller. I'm going in with you.

[00:57:42]>> Then you better get a vest on, detective.

[00:57:58]Sorry about this, man.

[00:57:59]>> You should have thought about that, sir.

[00:58:02]>> Best laid plans.

[00:58:03]>> Boss, >> you might want to come see this.

[00:58:13]>> Here we go. Uh-huh.

[00:58:21]Put your hands behind your back.

[00:58:23]stand by the back.

[00:58:26]>> You are >> the medic you asked for.

[00:58:29]>> No, you're not. You're Sinclair's guy.

[00:58:31]AJ, take this medic to the back room.

[00:58:35]>> You don't understand.

[00:58:36]>> Yeah, I do. We've all read the same manual.

[00:58:39]>> Get upstairs, [ __ ] face. Let's go. Move.

[00:58:42]Move.

[00:58:45]>> Hurry up, [ __ ] >> What's the next play, Danny? Why should I care? Come on. You used to be good at this stuff.

[00:58:58]They're going to breach.

[00:59:00]They'd have sent a real medic otherwise.

[00:59:02]Man, >> we need to get him up.

[00:59:07]>> He's barely breathing.

[00:59:08]>> Better off out there than he isn't here.

[00:59:12]>> Hey, >> you're going home. Hang on. I got you, Rick. Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

[00:59:20]There you go.

[00:59:22]You okay?

[00:59:24]Hold in steady. Take care of me.

[00:59:29]All right.

[00:59:34]Hey, captain. We got you some hostages.

[00:59:39]Team two, go get them. Everyone else covered.

[00:59:53]What about me?

[00:59:55]>> No, you we need Now's your time to shine, boys. I want you to go in the back and tell me what you can see.

[01:00:22]>> Yeah, we're on it, detective. What What if we make contact?

[01:00:25]>> Observe and report only. Do not engage these guys. Do you hear me?

[01:00:28]>> Observe and report, my ass. Yeah, [ __ ] that. We're going in. All right, get down. 1 2 Carefully. You want to live, you do everything I say.

[01:00:41]>> Yeah. Yeah. Tough guy.

[01:00:42]>> Shut the [ __ ] up and stand right there.

[01:00:44]>> [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you.

[01:00:47]Do everything I tell you and you won't get killed. SIT DOWN. MOVE.

[01:01:08]>> How you doing up there, Ken?

[01:01:10]>> Found my spot. Setting up now.

[01:01:13]>> Copy. Let me know when you're ready.

[01:01:17]I could kill you with my [ __ ] teeth.

[01:01:20]Oh, it's great cuz I can kill you with my [ __ ] gun.

[01:01:37]Hey, on your knees.

[01:01:41]Hello. I said on your knees, [ __ ] >> I just need a moment of your time. You take one more step and you die.

[01:01:49]>> Okay.

[01:01:56]You killed my friends. I saved them. You cut out their eyes. I just want to go home.

[01:02:03]You should leave me alone.

[01:02:07]>> Found an X-ray. Good shot.

[01:02:10]>> Stand by.

[01:02:13]You good?

[01:02:16]Let's go.

[01:02:29]What have we got here?

[01:02:59]It's taking him so long.

[01:03:00]>> Thanks, Tik Tok.

[01:03:02]>> 2 minutes.

[01:03:21]All systems go, boss. All systems go.

[01:03:28]>> I should kill you right now.

[01:03:30]>> Why don't you?

[01:03:31]>> I'm not a murderer. I'm not like you.

[01:03:34]We're all the same in God's eyes. Just >> [ __ ] shoot him.

[01:03:39]>> I'll be with you in a minute. Shut up.

[01:03:41]>> Come on. SHUT THE [ __ ] UP.

[01:03:45]>> It took me a long time to understand that we're all the same. The street punk, the professional like you, the cop, the banker, we're all the same sinners.

[01:04:00]And then God spoke to me.

[01:04:02]>> Oh yeah.

[01:04:04]What's he sound like?

[01:04:06]>> You wouldn't understand.

[01:04:08]It was like I suddenly knew what I had to do.

[01:04:14]>> You're [ __ ] crazy.

[01:04:18]I've been told so.

[01:04:22]But you know what? Maybe I'm the only one who isn't crazy. Did you think about that? When God spoke to me, he told me to save souls, as many as I could. Does that sound like a bad thing to do? God told you to cut people's [ __ ] eyes out? Couldn't just preach? You want a [ __ ] church?

[01:04:43]>> He told me the eyes were the windows of the soul. And it was my destiny to collect souls.

[01:04:52]You see, it's very simple.

[01:04:57]God just spoke to me >> out [ __ ] time.

[01:05:03]>> Mhm.

[01:05:04]>> X-ray is about to execute a hostage.

[01:05:07]>> Green light. Repeat. Green light.

[01:05:14]>> Say hello to Tracy for me.

[01:05:26]God protects those who serve him.

[01:05:36]>> I just need a moment of your time.

[01:05:41]>> X-ray down. X-ray down.

[01:05:45]>> Time to settle up. Keep your men outside. Whatever happens, >> I don't know about this.

[01:05:49]>> Listen, it's going to be crazy enough without your men blundering around. Just stay out of our way.

[01:05:54]>> All right. If things start going south, we're coming in.

[01:05:58]>> Fair enough. Ready.

[01:06:01]Showtime.

[01:06:26]Heat. Heat.

[01:06:54][ __ ] you.

[01:07:09]Hey, Paul.

[01:07:11]You still with us?

[01:07:13]>> That's you, Sinclair.

[01:07:15]>> You know this guy? You go back a long way.

[01:07:18]>> So, our mutual friends and I were wondering, did you get the stuff?

[01:07:22]>> Oh, I got it.

[01:07:25]It's right there on the counter.

[01:07:27]>> So, it is. Doesn't look like much.

[01:07:30]>> Well, it's all there. Shame you won't get to spend it.

[01:07:33]>> And you will, Sinclair.

[01:07:36]>> You bring up a good point. I don't think they'll miss it.

[01:07:39]>> What's going on, Sinclair?

[01:07:41]>> Just one of those macho moments you like so much, detective.

[01:07:45]>> So, Paul, you know, the boys aren't too happy with you. Fifth time you've ripped them off.

[01:07:50]>> Six, actually.

[01:07:53]>> Trent, that was you.

[01:07:55]>> We get around.

[01:07:58]>> That's enough.

[01:08:01]Really?

[01:08:02]>> Till I figure out what the hell's going on. You're under arrest.

[01:08:05]>> I can see the wheels turning. Detective.

[01:08:07]>> So, let me guess. You're not really DoD.

[01:08:09]>> He's cartel. If you hadn't already figured it out, >> is that true?

[01:08:14]>> It's a gray area, but at least you nailed the dangerous criminal. We only realized what was going on when you sent that photo through. So, thanks for that, detective.

[01:08:23]>> You're welcome.

[01:08:36]God.

[01:08:38]>> Jesus.

[01:08:42]>> What did you say?

[01:08:43]>> You said run.

[01:08:51]>> Looks like the calvary's arrived.

[01:08:53]>> Hey, detective.

[01:08:55]>> Just in time, boys.

[01:08:57]Like I told your boss, detective, stay out of our way. Jones over here.

[01:09:24]Don't be easy for you to say you don't have a [ __ ] family.

[01:09:37]>> Drop it.

[01:09:39]>> Drop it.

[01:09:43]>> We can all get something out of this.

[01:09:45]We'll just say uh Paul got away with the money.

[01:09:50]We'll split it three ways. It'll be a pretty good payday for all of us. Good luck spending it in full [ __ ] >> It was just a thought.

[01:09:57]>> I wouldn't worry about me, detective.

[01:10:06]>> Give it up, Paul. There's two of us and one of you. It's time. Don't you think?

[01:10:13]>> You know he's right.

[01:10:22][ __ ] >> Well, you nearly did it.

[01:10:35]>> Yeah. 10 minutes in and out. Supposed to be an easy one.

[01:10:41]>> Place like this, I didn't think they'd miss it.

[01:10:43]>> What was the backup? The elevator.

[01:10:44]>> How'd you know about that?

[01:10:47]I'm not an idiot, Paul. I read the building plans.

[01:10:51]But you got it working.

[01:10:52]>> Yeah, they burnt it up, but they left everything there.

[01:10:55]>> Smart.

[01:10:56]>> Not smart enough, obviously.

[01:10:58]>> No. Sorry, Paul.

[01:11:08]>> So, this is it, huh?

[01:11:11]>> Yeah. Worth the trouble, don't you think?

[01:11:12]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:11:14]Sorry about your brother.

[01:11:16]>> Go [ __ ] yourself.

[01:11:18]>> I'm starting to see the family resemblance. But what are we going to do with you?

[01:11:22]>> If you're doing what I think you're going to do, I'm the least of your problems. But >> you can't be too careful. chin.

[01:11:52]I'm here. I'm here.

[01:12:03]He was always looking.

[01:12:17]Okay.

[01:12:20]Oh, [ __ ] >> Are you okay?

[01:12:37]>> I've been better.

[01:12:41]>> I got this, detective.

[01:12:47]>> Do me a favor.

[01:12:53]Go put a bullet in. Absolutely.

[01:13:33]What the [ __ ] Heat.

[01:13:57]Heat.

[01:14:12]Danny, is that [ __ ] you? Don't [ __ ] with me, Danny.

[01:14:36]hear me.

[01:14:48]Danny.

[01:14:54]Hey, who the hell are you?

[01:15:05]You're that [ __ ] Windows guy. I just want to go home.

[01:15:11]>> I saw what you did to my men.

[01:15:14]>> You should leave me alone.

[01:15:16]>> Oh, yeah.

[01:15:19]Well, I think I'm going to do LAPD a favor. Please allow me to explain.

[01:15:30]Stop.

[01:15:54]Hey.

[01:17:05]The eye is the lamp of the body.

[01:17:09]The lamp of the body.

[01:17:13]So if your eye is healthy, Stop right there.

[01:17:56]>> You got to be [ __ ] kidding me.

[01:18:05]Looks like you and me had a pretty bad day. Danny, that Windows guy, it's a bit of a handful, huh?

[01:18:11]>> Yeah, I need more.

[01:18:15]Good for you.

[01:18:18]So now what? Danny, you taking me in?

[01:18:22]>> Those are my orders.

[01:18:24]>> Your orders?

[01:18:27]>> You, too, huh?

[01:18:28]>> Mustaches like this all over the country. There's always someone like me nearby keeping an eye on things.

[01:18:36]>> And you'd have stopped him.

[01:18:39]>> Your own brother?

[01:18:40]>> If I had to.

[01:18:43]That's cool.

[01:18:48]>> It's a lot of money, Danny.

[01:18:49]>> And then what? Like I said, there's always someone else.

[01:18:54]Someone like me.

[01:18:58]>> You shouldn't have killed Paul.

[01:18:59]>> It's a bad world all around.

[01:19:21]Heat. Heat.

[01:19:30]Heat. Heat.

[01:19:54]Heat.

[01:20:06]Heat.

[01:20:15]Heat.

[01:20:37]Heat.

[01:20:46]The eye is the lamp of your body.

[01:20:53]So if the eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

[01:20:59]But if the eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.

[01:21:08]If then the light in you is darkness, how great then is the darkness.

[01:21:21]They came to steal money. He came to survive. Sometimes the worst evil is already in the room.
