04x16 - Honor Among Thieves?

[bunniefuu]

You look so pretty.
Yes, you do.

Don't cry. This is gonna
make you feel so pretty too.

Just like the belle of the ball,
l promise.

Don't cry. Yeah.

Be careful.

Don't hurt her. Be gentle.

This will make her feel better.

Now l can take that nasty tape
off your pretty mouth.

-Oh yeah.
-You're hurting her.

Don't worry. You can make it feel
all better with just one little kiss.

-Mr. Cooper?
-l'm Burnett. He's Cooper.

Mr. Burnett.

Mr. Palmo.
Burnett, Cooper.

-Which is the legal genius?
-l have a law degree.

You can move money legally
all around the world?

Advice on international currency
and banking law, is what l'm paid for.

-And your friend?
-He's VP in charge of collections.

You come with good credentials,
but l like personal relationships.

You're gonna be my guests
for a while until l get to know you.

You'll enjoy yourselves.

There's a party almost every night.

Gee, Mr. Palmo, we didn't
bring our toothbrushes.

Toothbrushes, tuxedoes,
companionship...

-lt's all here.
-Well, l guess we can rough it.

This way gentlemen.

Sweet dreams, angel.

Well, semi-elegant.

-l hate the color of my toothbrush.
-Want mine?

No. Mine's the same color.

We're in the castle of the king of
drugland and haven't lost our heads.

This is good. Now we just have
to wait for our heavy friend...

in court to come and
speak to us in code.

Yeah, and ask us if it
rains everyday in Miami.

Come in.

l see you've got your tuxes
and a toothbrush.

You must be the companionship.

Mr. Palmo asked me...

to invite you both down
to join the party.

My name's Arlene.

-We're party people.
-lt's gonna be an enjoyable evening.

This is the 3rd teenager strangled,
assaulted and pumped full of cocaine.

-What kind of a monster we got?
-And the dolls and matching costumes?

We they hookers?

l'm looking at the only whores
in this investigation.

You got plenty to keep your readers
turned on. Get off my back.

-lt's a homicide, Jarrel.
-Not anymore.

This is Mr. Taggert,
from the DA's office.

Since the bodies have been filled
with cocaine you could be of help.

l want you to shake up your b*at:
dealers, pushers, users.

We have an investigation that's
taken months to put in place.

My best people are undercover and
need the support of the whole unit.

-Mayor says the city is on the line.
-lt's not just a drop in tourism.

l'll see what l can do.

My chef won a prix gastronomique
in Paris for this dish.

That's thrilling, Mr. Palmo.

We've enjoyed sharing these finer
things in life these past 3 days but...

-When do we get down to business?
-Cyrus.

lt's a Chateau Latour 1934, it's
sipped not gulped like a can of beer.

l wish it was beer.
This Miami weather's the pits.

lt is hot. l can sweat through
4 shirts a day. l'm a Georgia boy.

l'm sorry, l shouldn't allow him
to sit at the same table, but...

-3 times he's taken a b*llet for me.
-Maybe that's why he sweats.

Well, you see we have our own
schedule to keep.

We need an answer.

Though l'm well respected
in the business...

the decision isn't mine alone...
l have...

Colombians, Cubans, Haitians,
Mexicans, Canadians...

a various assortment of native
born Americans to deal with.

A variety of cultures, each
with its own way of doing business.

Each, very sensitive.

They must all feel included.

Besides, there's a special
problem right now.

-A problem?
-These cocaine killings.

-Not a good image for the business.
-While you worry about your PR...

my friend and l will ponder how much
this waste of our time will cost you.

Delicious menu.
Tripe ''à la mode de Caen''.

You know what that is?

Chitlins. Should make a boy
from Georgia feel right at home.

Excuse me.

-They've both got smart mouths.
-lf they can supply what they say...

they have a right
to be a little arrogant.

So be nice. 'Cause right now
l need them.

What am l gonna do?

What am l gonna do?

You'll find another
ballerina as beautiful as l am.

Alright. Alright.

You can trash these Castillo.

That's all we have: perverts,
users, psychological profiles.

-The complete creep list.
-That's not what l need.

The coke is the special angle.
This isn't street junk.

The autopsies rated it
100º/º pure.

That means this creep
had connections.

That puts it in your backyard.
You know the big dealers.

Let's make this their problem.

Two of my men could be caught
right in the middle.

They're good,
they'll make the right moves.

The horror of these murders
is beyond anything in 15 years.

The sexual as*ault and m*rder
of teenagers. A doll with the body

And his special trademark
cocaine injected into his victims.

The r*pe and m*rder of drugged kids.
Whoever this cocaine k*ller is...

he's put together a nightmare.
Today, he's struck again.

16 year old Lisa Fentress
was found just after dawn.

Let's hope somebody
in South Florida knows who he is...

-That doll's so pretty. l had one.
-l collect dolls.

You like dolls, huh?
l got a collection at home.

-Maybe you could stop by and see 'em.
-My Mom's gonna be here any second.

-l have a phone in my car.
-Vicky!

She's here. l gotta go.
Alright, bye.

Why didn't you just grab her?
l liked her.

Ladies and gentlemen, the mayor
cannot answer questions at this time...

but l do have a statement to read.

The city of Miami has the equivalent
of a plague on its hands.

An epidemic that has to be
dealt with in the most sever way.

He's calling you a disease.
He's got a lot of nerve.

To make it impossible for
this doll k*ller to exist among us.

l'm giving our police department
the greatest possible powers...

to extend their investigations
into every corner of the city.

l'm sure the people will
understand and cooperate.

-Are we talking about martial laW?.
-l said there was a disease.

And you don't fight a disease
with warnings and Miranda warrants.

Good day.

-l win again.
-They closed 3 of his nightclubs.

Then the racing commission
quarantined his entire stable.

That's real heat when
they start arresting your horses.

-l don't think he found it funny.
-Maybe not.

Horses are probably the only animals
he's got working for him with brains.

Someday, you and me,
are gonna dance.

Strike up the band baby.

Cooper. You look fresh.

See if you can hit a longer
ball than your friend.

-Remember, let him win.
-No problem.

You got no right to keep me here
'cause l once had a little problem.

2 convictions for child molesting
is not a little problem.

l wouldn't waste coke on a kid
if l was gonna snuff her.

That's a waste of serious money.
l would never do that.

-What was the questioning about?
-Have your employees been arrested?

Your church was raided by the police
can you say why?

l can. You want a statement?
The police have gone crazy.

l run a legit import business
and he's a pastor of a church.

A man of God. What have we
to do with these insane murders?

Being the head of a Voodoo cult
isn't a character reference.

-l have 2 daughters myself.
-You're suspects?

Fuentes and Reverend Beausourire
are unhappy.

Estimate puts Fuente's business
at 1 tenth pre-Columbian art...

9 tenths Columbian flake.

The good Reverend's the only church
in town with a bank in the Bahamas.

All we're gonna get out of this
is a lot of suits for harassment.

Let the mayor worry about that.
What about Palmo?

-He's being squeezed.
-But not face to face.

lf your boys are with Palmo, it'll
look strange if we pass him over.

l'll take care of that.

Look at them. They're skins all
flushed from exercise. Yeah.

l love to see them sweat.
lt's so physical. l love it.

That's no way to treat a lady.
You let a couple cops scare you?

Don't worry. We'll come back.

Look Fuentes, they've
been hitting my places too.

They don't think we have anything
to do with these girls, we're symbols.

That's right, like fall guys.

Why haven't they picked me up yet?
They just walked in the door.

You make the arrangements.
l'll be a little busy.

Castillo, isn't it?

We had an unpleasant conversation
about a year ago.

-We're about to have another one.
-You got a warrant?

-They wouldn't impress an attorney.
-When you call one...

tell him your yacht's been impounded.
Hope it's not damaged.

Why hit us? Some girls go out
looking for a good time.

They want to get high,
run into some weirdo...

-That's street stuff.
-Girls have no drug record.

Cocaine was almost pure
your kind of stuff.

We're businessmen. We don't
knock off teenagers for kicks.

No, just for profit.

There's nothing happening here.
Let's go back to the school.

Maybe we'll just cruise around and
find a nice new friend to play with.

Don't answer it.

What.

Yeah.

-This man loves his exercise.
-We gotta get out of here.

lf our contact doesn't show soon
only rain is on our parade.

l don't think it's ever
gonna rain in Miami again.

They're shaking things up
downtown, right?

They want the k*ller. They figured
they'd push Palmo, it might help.

So we push to. Make him think
we're running out on the deal.

Better make it look good,
so let's be serious.

-Trust you're enjoying yourselves?
-Yes, Mr. Palmo. But listen...

thanks for the nice toothbrush.
We got to be leaving.

Really?

And since you've been a great host
we won't charge for the wasted time.

-You're not going anywhere.
-Why stay if you're out of business?

-Temporary. lt'll be solved.
-HoW?.

You'll see. Tonight.

So much for that.

Burnett and Cooper are an example
of what l'm talking about.

They are businessmen whose expertise
could be profitable to all of us.

But they've been made to feel
uncomfortable by this situation.

As long as this scum,
this k*ller of young girls is loose...

we'll be persecuted by the police
with the public's blessings.

Even though we as fathers, as men,
want him stopped as much as they.

We need the law's protection like
everybody else, maybe more.

So, as of now, the business
is to find this scum.

Everything else...

petty feuds, shipments,
deals...

shuts down until he's off the street.

Agreed?

Agreed.

Done.

Yeah.

Agreed.

Let's get him.

This makes me sick.
l'm gonna go for a drive.

-How hard do we come down?
-Whatever it takes.

They're all dead anyway.

-l'm scared.
-We're going home.

Well look who's there.

-Who is he?
-Name's Benny.

Hold it here Lefty.
Benny the Flasher.

-Let's see what he has to say.
-Sounds like fun.

Can l have my key? Thanks.

How you doing today?
l'm doing ok too.

How you doing, Benny?

-What do you guys want?
-You been messing with kids again?

-l ain't done a thing.
-What were you running for?

-l was scared.
-l'd be to if l was the k*ller.

l wouldn't do that.
l wouldn't hurt anybody.

l got treatment while l was away.
The docs they fixed my head.

-What's that Benny?
-That's just fantasy life now.

-Pretty rich life.
-The doc said it was ok.

-Doctor said you could read this?
-Yeah.

We got a difference of opinion.
lt's time to throw out the garbage.

No!

l didn't hurt nobody!
Please!

Cyrus. Hold on.

l think l can get him to not do this,
you just tell us all you know.

-Think real hard.
-Alright! Alright, please.

Let him down.

One of Capt. George's winos saw
something in the park the other night.

-He tell the police?
-No.

They never tell anything
except to Capt. George.

What he saw is supposed to be worth
something. That's all l know.

Let's go.

lt's just a fantasy life.

-Looking for accommodations?
-We hear you know...

something about the kid
they found dead in the park.

-Yeah. Terrible. You more cops?
-Don't insult us.

To cops l say nothing.
lt's an old habit.

But to reasonable men l...

Pay him.

That enough?

One of the winos,
a guy they call prophet was...

in here babbling about something
strange going on the other night.

-ls he here?
-He didn't have the price of a flop.

He's probably in the park now,
sitting on his bench.

You're not gonna give up
on me now, are you?

You don't have any guts.

-l'm not having fun.
-lt's not supposed to be fun.

Look over there.

Well the prophet kept on about dolls,
looks like we're in the right place.

Are you guys crazy? Cyrus,
what the hell's the matter with you?

-He a friend of yours?
-He works for Delgado.

One of them big chiefs
you seen at the meeting.

Tell me something.
The night when that girl got k*lled...

-anybody win any of these dolls?
-Nobody wins anything here.

You got to hit 3 birds and that's
hard with 2 b*ll*ts and a blank.

They're very special dolls.

That's 2 grand of coke
you just blew up.

Dealers come, drop off the cash
pick up the doll, return it empty.

-Delgado ain't gonna like that.
-What do you like?

Filling young girls with coke?

-Just like the dolls?
-ls this guy crazy?

-He asking you a serious question.
-Tell me something...

night the girl got k*lled,
who picked up the doll?

Nobody.
There was no business that night.

Nobody picked up anything.
Just...

-Just what?
-Just Delgado.

-He picked up an empty.
-Delgado?

Now think real hard...

was it the same doll that
they found with the girl?

-How should l knoW?.
-The newspapers, television...

-plus your eye for dolls.
-This one's taking off your ear.

Hey. Ok.

Maybe it was the same one.

l mean we don't carry them anymore.

Was l supposed to say something?
lt's Delgado, we're talking about.

Where is he?

Delgado!

This is bad business man.
Which one of them turns you on?

Don't sh**t.

He's a nice man.
Don't hurt him.

No, no. Please don't hurt him.

He just wanted to play.
Don't hurt him.

-We should have arrested him.
-Then the cover's blown.

-We can't let Palmo k*ll him.
-We don't even have w*apon.

Wouldn't do any good.
They got a ton of metal in here.

-So what's next counselor?
-Try to talk him out of here.

Mr. Burnett, Mr. Cooper,
you did a good job.

l told you this problem
could be solved.

But Delgado makes me sick.

-Why'd you bring him here?
-We're holding a trial.

-Trial?
-l can't just k*ll Delgado.

lt'd start a w*r. So he'll be
judged by a jury of his peers.

-Why not turn him over to the police?
-To the police?

We caught Delgado, not them.
lt's our world he betrayed.

-We'll deal with him.
-The man's just sick.

lf you turn him in you're a hero.

l forgot, you're a lawyer.

You give him a professional defense
You get him off, he's yours.

-Cyrus.
-This way gentlemen.

-You. You wait outside.
-No problem.

There's your client. Palmo says
you got 1 hour to make your defense.

-Who are you?
-Palmo is gonna put you on trial.

-l'm gonna defend you.
-Against what?

You sh*t up 4 girls with cocaine,
dressed 'em like dolls and k*lled 'em.

-You do remember that.
-Yeah.

-Who's going to judge me?
-Your friends.

My friends?

-l know you.
-The amusement park, remember.

-No, you were at the meeting.
-Yeah.

Burnett and Cooper.
You guys had a big deal to make.

-l'm gonna have to ask you questions.
-Yeah, good.

l got one to ask you first.

Does it rain everyday in Miami?

That's right. You're a cop.

l'm your contact.

Look, you better get me out of this.

Or l'll give you up
and we both end up dead.

Bring the prisoner in.

-Delgado is our contact.
-You got to be kidding.

You gotta get to a phone
and tell Castillo.

lf we loose Delgado,
we'll never take Palmo down.

-What are you gonna do?
-Defend my client.

Alright.

Let's begin.

The defendant has a counselor.

Even some of the jury
are his own men.

The prosecutor will be me.
and l'll prove that...

that man who drugged, assaulted...

and k*lled deserves,
under any form of justice...

to be k*lled himself.

You gotta protect me now.

What's going on between Palmo
and Delgado. l don't wanna be mashed.

We got a deal?

-You're not gonna believe this.
-What's going on?

We got him. The squeeze paid off.
You know a Paul Delgado?

-He's one of the big ones.
-Bigger than you think. He's our man.

According to a scared witness,
that's what the sh**ting was about.

Palmo's boys doing
a little rough police work.

-Where's Delgado noW?.
-Palmo's got him.

-No one here except the security.
-Got word from Metro. No one's home.

Fuentes, Beausourire,
even the dealers are gone.

-The drug world takes the night off?.
-Something's coming down. Get in.

Everyone in this room has suffered
because of what the defendant did.

This isn't just a matter of business.
This is a matter of who we are.

And we have nothing in common
with that man.

You can prove that by
the sentence you pass on him.

But first,
he has a right to a defense.

This is a trial.

We are different from this man.

Yes we are very
different from this man.

At least we know what we're
doing when we break the law.

We weight the risks
against the profits.

-And we do what's necessary.
-He knew.

-He knew what he was doing.
-But not...

the way that we do.

l'm going to put you in his mind...

and let you live there for a while.

And then you
tell me what you think.

-Castillo.
-lt's Tubbs.

-We're at the 1235 Club. You know it?
-We're about 10 minutes away.

Make it fast 'cause l don't know...

You butt is mine now.

Tubbs?

Let me go man!
What you doing?

-l told you we was gonna dance boy.
-Come on chump.

So you see...

we have a choice.

We had a choice as to which side...

of the law we're gonna stand on.
And we chose...

to break the law.

This man, he has no choice.

You have no choice. No say.

And so you walk...

towards something horrible...

and you can't stop.

Oh you see the horror.

And you don't want to go,
but you must.

You don't want to, but you must.

You don't want to, but you must!

My God.

Gentlemen that is hell.

Can you imagine?

Having to live in that hell?

Very dramatic.

But outside of the defendant's
mind is the real world.

And in that world,
4 little girls are dead.

You know the verdict we expect.

They're going to hurt you.
Be quiet.

The nasty men are going to hurt you.
He didn't do anything bad.

l just wanted to play.
Now they're gonna punish you.

But they'll have to catch us first.
Run! Run!

Get him down.

Why didn't you run out that door?
l'm scared up here.

Don't worry. l can fly.
You hear me down there? l can fly.

You'll never get me
because l can fly.

No you can't fly.
Take the ladder back down now.

No, l'm gonna fly.
Because you're all...

bad men.

Alright. Police.

Everybody just be smart.

-What happened?
-Justice.

-The m*rder*r is dead.
-Which one is it?

Take your pick.
