05x06 - Brothers

[bunniefuu]

Wake up.

Wake up.

Hey, who's that?

That's what I'm
trying to figure out.

Hey, yo.

Yo, Rip Van Winkle-- hey.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

Look, I don't mean to be
rude, but what are you doing?

Sleeping.

Yeah, I can see that.

But you can't do
that here, all right?

Why not?

This seems as good
a place as any.

Listen, there's a
shelter down the street.

They've got clean
beds and everything.

Um--

Thanks, but I don't
belong in a shelter.

This-- this is where I belong.

Well, look, pal, this place
is for cops and criminals, OK?

So, if you want to go down--

The former.

What?

The first one--

I'm a cop.

I just got assigned
to this, uh, church.

Great.

Open mouth, insert foot.

Listen, we're really sorry.

We didn't know.

No apologies needed.

I like churches.

Name's Anthony McCann.

This is Judy Hoffs.

Joey Penhall--

Penhall?

No, is that really your name?

Yeah.

It's just that we
have a Penhall here.

I know He's my brother.

Get-- are you joking?

No, I don't think
so, unless my dad lied.

Come to think of it, Mac, he
does look a little like Doug.

Yeah.

Need some help?

Hey, Captain, did you
know Dough ad a brother?

Oh, yeah.

But I didn't know
he was a cop until I

received his file yesterday.

Nice to have you with us, Joe.

Glad to be here, Captain.

Hey, what's
everybody looking at?

Hey, big brother.

Long time no see.

[grunt]

[theme music]

OK, so I had a knuckle
tattoo coming to me.

What could you possibly want?

What do you think I want?

We got a lot of catching
up to do, big brother.

Who is it?

Understatement of the year--

what's your name?

Clavo.

What's next?

You got a wife or two
in the other room?

Not anymore.

How you doing?

I'm Joe.

Nice to meet you.

Put her there, pup.

Clavo-- what a great name.

What does that mean?

It means nail.

You named your kid nail?

No.

But he is your son?

He's my nephew.

Who named him nail?

What the hell are
you doing here, Joey?

You and me are related, Clavo.

So you're Doug's nephew.

So what does that make me?

Nothing.

Makes me your uncle-in-law.

It makes you nothing.

Clavo, why don't you
go and wash up, OK?

Bye.

I'll see you, kid.

So you gonna invite
me in, or what?

Like I got a choice.

You got five minutes.

Five minutes?

Five minutes to fill
you in on five years?

Been through a lot, man.

Why don't you start with
yesterday and work backwards.

How come all of a
sudden you're a cop?

Simple, I thought it
was time I did some good.

Next.

Just a coincidence
you ended up in my unit?

It wasn't a coincidence.

I requested it.

Why?

You're the only
family I got left.

Is there something wrong
with me trying to get

my brother back into my life?

I get it.

All the bad stuff is
over, all of a sudden you

want to be brothers again.

I am sorry.

You left me holding the bag.

Pop was dying,
and you just left.

I was , man.

I was a kid.

I was .
I was a kid, too.

But I tell you what.

Sitting there watching
Pop drink himself to death

sure made me grow up fast.

Thanks a lot.

What can-- what can I say?

I made a mistake?

I blew it?

I didn't know how to handle it.

I didn't either, but I sure
as hell didn't run away, did I?

You're right, man.

You were always the righteous
one, and I was always trouble.

But I changed that.

I flipped that around.

Well, that makes me
feel so much better.

Look at me.
I'm a cop.

There are a lot
of cops out there

who aren't so great
at being people.

I learned a lot of
hard lessons out there.

One of them is the
importance of family.

I want my brother back.

You know, I've been waiting
for this knock a long time.

[knocking]

I hardly left the house, because
I didn't want to miss it,

that knock that meant
that my brother came back.

I used to think about how long
the speech would have to be,

with just the right
combination of words,

before I'd let you back.

After a while, I realized that
I didn't need that knock so bad,

and there wasn't any combination
of words that was ever

going to make me forgive you.

It just got to the
point where I didn't

want to hear that knock at all.

You should have
put in a door bell.

You're a riot.

Get out.

Oh, come on!

You gotta give me a chance.

I don't gotta do nothing.

Please, I got no
life except for you.

I got no one.

You got no brother.

CAPTAIN ADAM FULLER: So,
what can I do for you?

This is my
daughter, Stephanie.

Has something happened to her?

Yes.

She's, uh, got sucked in with
a group of crazies called

Heaven's Family.

You know who they are?

Well, yes, I'm
familiar with them.

They're, um, a religious group.

They're a damn cult.
That's who they are.

They take people's
kids away from them.

They mess with their heads.

They turn them
against their parents.

I explained to
Mr. Morgan that we

can't get his
daughter out of a cult

if she doesn't want to come out.

I'm afraid that's
true, Mr. Morgan.

You see, cults are
protected under the law

as religious organizations.

I'm aware of that.

But what if these crazies are
involved in illegal activities?

Such as?

Such as drug trafficking.

So, since when do you ask
for volunteers, Captain?

This is going to be a
hour a day gig, guys.

Sounds good, major overtime.

Now, whoever goes
into this group

will have to give up
their personal life

for the entire
time they're under.

That means no contact with
friends, relatives, nothing.

Sounds like I'm
your man, seeing

as I've got no
pending engagements

with relatives or friends.

You sure?

Yeah.

All right, you're on.

The rest of you run
the usual routine--

priors, ongoing, histories
on both the Heaven's Family

organization and its leaders.

That's it.

You might be
interested in the camp.

[interposing voices]

Oh, hi.

Hi.

I just saw the sign outside
about everyone being welcome.

I--

Oh, yes.

Yeah, come in.

Uh, would you like some punch?

Yeah, that'd be great.

I'm Rachel.

Joey.

Nice to meet you, Joey.

So, you live around here?

Sort of.

Sort of?

Yeah, if you call
sleeping in a doorway

down the street
living around here.

Bummer.

What, don't you have a family?

No, no-- not one that
wants anything to do with me.

I can relate.

I doubt it.

No, really, I--

I bet we have a lot in common.

Would you like to have
dinner with me tonight?

Are you asking me for a date?

Let's just call it dinner.

I'd love to.

See, that's what
Heaven's Family

is all about, making the world
a better place for all people.

You know, we believe in
replacing all the hate

in the world with love.

Everyone shares everything.

There's no greed
and no loneliness.

There's no hate in
our society, Joey.

We give our love freely.

Yeah, I'm going up to their
camp for a weekend retreat.

CAPTAIN ADAM FULLER:
(ON PHONE) Look,

I don't think that's
a very wise move.

Why not?

Well, do you even
know where this camp is?

JOEY: (ON PHONE) No,
they won't tell me.

That's because they
don't want anyone

coming up there after you.

Look, Captain, I'm not a
sucker for this hocus pocus,

lovey-dovey crap.

There's no way
they'll suck me in.

You don't have to be a sucker.

Now listen, Joe.

From what I hear, anyone
can get sucked into a cult.

JOEY: Not me.

Besides, if I don't
go, how else am I gonna

follow this narcotics lead?

I don't like it.

We'll be out of contact.
- Come on, Joey.

The bus is leaving.

Don't worry, Annie.

I'll call you when I get back.

Don't cry on the phone.

It makes me ill.

[music playing]

Isn't the food here delicious?

Yeah, it's great.

It's great.

When's the protein coming out?

What do you mean?

Uh-- uh, protein--
meat, fish, poultry.

Oh, we don't eat meat here.

We only eat the foods that are
grown organically on the farm.

That's nice.

This place is great.

Who pays for it?

Oh, we're totally
self-sufficient.

We sell the things we make.

Like what?

Clothing, arts, and crafts.

Sell anything you grow?

Yeah, flowers.

We have three greenhouses here.

Flowers?

That's nice, too.

The whole thing's nice.

May I have your
attention, please?

My name is Joshua.

I'm the group leader
here at this camp.

On behalf of David,
our spiritual leader,

welcome to Heaven's Family?

[applause]

It's hard to be a young
person in this world today.

How many of our guests
today can honestly

say, "I have love in my life"?

I mean real love, pure love.

Just raise your hands.

That's what I thought.

But we have to change that
for any of us to survive.

We have to change that for
this planet to survive.

We have to learn to accept
love and reject hate.

You might want
to hear this, too.

What have we got, Mac?

Computer on the
Heaven's Family.

Anything?

It's clean, not one rap.

But there is a closed
investigation listed in here.

I'm not gonna like this, am I?

About a week ago, Kyle
Morgan went down to the -

and reported that
Heaven's Family

is running a prostitution ring.

Now, the CO didn't buy it, so
they dropped it after a day.

Damn it.

Get Kyle Morgan in here.

I tried, but he's out
of town on business.

He'll be back in
a couple of days,

but he did leave a number.

Then call it.

Get him in here now.

[music playing]

Come on!

Mm, yes, It's : AM.

Don't you people ever sleep?

You're so cute.

Morning brings a new day,
and a new day brings more love.

Morning brings a new day,
and new day brings more love.

Morning, Joey.

Come on, get up.

It's a beautiful morning.

It's : AM!

Every hour spent
sleeping is an hour wasted.

Well, if you don't mind.

I'd like to waste
about eight more hours.

Come on, Joey!

We've got a busy
weekend ahead of us.

[music playing]

My father only loved his work.

He never loved me.

One day, um, my
best friend, she--

she ODed on cr*ck cocaine.

Well, she d*ed.

When I went home, all I
wanted was just to cry--

cry on daddy's shoulder, but,
you know, he didn't have time.

They called me n*gg*r
right before each kick.

My father b*at me up a lot.

Whenever he had a bad
day at the factory,

he'd come home and
take it out on me.

Daddy would walk in on me
when I was changing my clothes.

He'd make me pose for him--

naked.

JOSHUA: Come on, Joey.

Share your pain with us.

That's the only way
to make it go away.

No-- no, I got
a lot of baggage.

I'm-- I'm not sure I
want to unpack it yet.

We want to help you, Joey.

Oh, please share with us.

Please?

I guess it couldn't hurt.

Um, my old lady d*ed
when I was four.

Actually, she k*lled herself.

JOSHUA: Don't stop, Joey.

Share.

Yeah, um, st-- starting
when I was about six, my pop--

he was a minister.

He started drinking,
boozing a lot.

And, by the time I was
, he was really sick.

The doctor said he--

he, uh-- it was too late.

His liver was almost--

almost gone.

Me my brother-- we
didn't know what to do.

I just couldn't sit
there and watch my--

my father die.

I couldn't do it, so I took off.

JOSHUA: And that's
when you came to us?

Uh, no.

No, no.

Actually, I was--

I was living in hotels
and on the streets

for about five years, jumping
from job to job, city to city.

Uh, then I decided to come
home, and I got a job as a--

I got a job.

I, uh, cleaned myself up.

Then I tried to get back
into my brother's life.

I figured we were the only
family each of us had left.

We had to be together, right?

But he didn't see it that way.

He didn't want
anything to do with me.

He shut me out.

JOSHUA: How did that
make you feel, Joey?

Pretty dumb.

Uh, somehow I convinced
myself that my brother would--

would welcome me with
open arms instead of a--

a clenched fist.

When I was a kid, I thought
the only thing family

was for was to share pain.

That was-- that was--

that was the only thing I
knew when I was growing up.

But five years on the street
changed my mind about that.

Five minutes with my
brother changed it back.

You have a new
family now, Joey.

Mr. Morgan, did
you file a complaint

with another precinct accusing
this group of prostitution?

Why?

Is this your signature?

Look, I did what I had to do.

Please try to understand.

We understand that you lied
about the drug connection

to get us to
investigate that group.

Well, I was only trying
to get you to see how--

how awful these crazies are!

They took my little girl away.

Look, I can sympathize
with you, Mr. Morgan.

But, according to
the law, there's

nothing we can do about that.

It's all my fault, you know?

All I was giving her
were material things.

I wasn't giving her love.

No one was.

How does that
make it your fault?

Well, that's the
way these cults work.

They find some kid who
isn't getting any love

from her own family,
and then they

take the place of the family.

CAPTAIN ADAM FULLER:
Pull Joey out of there.

Right.

I'm going, too.

Repeat after me.

I now symbolize--

I now symbolize--

--my acceptance of love--

--my acceptance of love--

--and my rejection of hate.

--and my rejection of hate--

--by accepting my new name--

--by accepting my new name--

--and rejecting my old one.

--and rejecting my old one.

Welcome.

[clapping]

Welcome to Heaven's
Family, Abel.

DOUG: How did you
find this place?

JUDY: Land deed showed
up on the computer.

DOUG: A welcome party--

JUDY: I guess the guy at the
gate mentioned we were cops.

Hello, officers.

Welcome to Heaven's Family.

We're looking
for Joey Penhall.

I'm sorry, no one
here goes by that name.

Is that right?

Am I going to have to tear
apart the whole acres

until I find him?

Do you have a
warrant to do so?

I got your warrant right here.

Doug-- we don't
want any trouble.

OK, officers.

Tell me, what do you want?

All we want is Joey Penhall.

If you let us have him,
we'll close our investigation

that we're doing on
you guys, and you

zombies can go back
to doing whatever

it is that you guys do.

What we do here
is perfectly legal.

And, furthermore, as I told
you, no one here is named Joey.

I'm sorry you wasted so
much time in coming up here.

Have a peaceful trip back.

I'm only going
to say this once.

It's OK.
It's OK.

We're not leaving
without my brother.

What if I don't want to leave?

Joey--

That's not my name anymore.

My name is Abel.

You can drop the act now.

Mr. Morgan was lying
about the dr*gs.

I knew that the
first day I got here.

If you knew that, why
didn't you report it?

Because I like it here.

These are good, honest
people, and I'm loved here.

Oh, OK.

You're going to do this?

It's your little way of
getting back at me, right?

OK.

You know, you and me
can still be brothers.

We can still patch things up.

All you got to do is
come home with me.

I live here.

This is my home.

This is not your home.

Come on!

Doug-- Doug!

What you're attempting
is kidnapping.

Now that is a felony, officer.

- Is that what it is?
- He's right, Doug.

Let's go.

Now get off our property, or
I'll be forced to file charges.

Go ahead and file charges.

Does anybody have an idea
how to get Joey out of there?

What about those
deprogrammers that parents hire.

How do they work?

They kidnap the
kid, take them,

lock them in a room
for as long as it

takes to get through to them.

Does that work?

Last time I looked, kidnapping
was still a felony, Penhall.

Yeah, somebody else
just told me that.

Hey, we're cops, pal.

We stop kidnappings.

We don't do them.

Do you have an alternative?

What if it were your son?

Whatever you do, I don't
want to know about it.

Captain, I'm going to need the
interrogation room this weekend

to interrogate a suspect.

It's yours.

I already canceled
my weekend plans.

Never had any.

OK, so I'll be on the
next corner if you need me.

I'll be OK.

Remember, Abel, I love you.

Yeah, I love you, too.

Listen, Rachel-- Rachel,
uh, I think you're special.

You mean a lot to me,
if you know what I mean.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm selling flowers for the
Heaven's Family Foundation.

It's a non-profit-- I would--

uh-- hi, I'm selling flowers for
the Heaven's Family Foundation,

and I was wondering if--

it's a non-profit organization.

[tires squealing]

Rachel!

I got him!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Rachel!

Abel!

DOUG: Take it easy.

Let me go!

Call the police.

They're kidnapping him!

Abel!

Abel!

[groaning]

Let me go.

The radiator--

All right, put him down.

Watch his head.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Take him.
- OK, OK.

Ready?

, , --

Let me go.

Hey, uh, could you
guys go next door

and get him a hamburger?

You want cheese on that?

Cheese has protein, right?

You better make
that a cheeseburger.

You got it.

[door shuts]

You OK?

I mean, we didn't
hurt you, did we?

Joshua warned me about you.

He said you'd try to do this.

Who's Joshua?

Oh, that zucchini head
at the nature camp?

He said you'd try to get me
to reject David's teachings.

He's right.

Joey, you're my brother.

I'm not just gonna
let you sit there

and vegetate at that camp.

You're Joey's brother.

I'm not Joey.

My name is Abel.

No, you're Joey.

What are you doing?

What-- are you ignoring me?

Oh, that's so intelligent.

I say something you
don't want to hear,

you just clam up
and don't listen.

Well, you are
gonna listen to me.

You are gonna talk to me.

Hello!

Joey!

Hey, hey-- what
are you doing, man?

Come on, hey.
- Well, look at him.

How am I supposed
to talk to him?

It's like talking
to a brick wall?

I don't know, OK?

Here, look.

See if he-- if he's hungry.

Give him something to eat.

Fat chance.

Look, do you want
me to stay in here?

No.

Hey, thanks.

Yeah.

Here, you gotta eat.

We gotta get some
protein in you.

Come on, I read
about this stuff.

That's how they
weaken your mind.

They deprive you of protein.

OK, it's here if you want it.

Hm, got any eights?

Go fish.

[groan]

Ha, fish what I wish.

An APB just came
over the wire, guys.

Heaven's Family
reported a boy missing.

The description matches Joey.

I haven't seen
Joey in about a week.

Me neither.

Um, yeah.

Um, neither have I--

I guess.

You know what you're doing?

You're running away again.

You get sucked
into that BS cult,

that's just like running away.

You run away from mom's su1c1de,
Pop's drinking, from me,

from life.

You're a coward.

I didn't run from anything.

I ran to something.

I ran to a better way of life.

I ran to people who were
capable of loving me.

Where do you think all the
money goes from the stuff

you guys sell on the streets?

It goes to support the
Heaven's Family Foundation.

There's over ,
of us in the world.

,?

How many flowers
do you sell a day?

Most sell about five.

Charging $ each?

There's , kids
bringing in $ a day.

That's-- that's $,,
$, a day, tax free.

I don't have to
listen to this.

[sigh]

Not again.

[sirens]

[door opening]

Well, now that you've
got some sleep,

you feel like eating something?

Here, I, uh--

I nuked it in the microwave.

It's better than fresh.

Just-- just have a little.

Come on.

Come on, please.

I don't believe I'm doing this.

You know, Ma used to do this
when you were a little punk

just out of diapers.

If it weren't for that
woman force feeding you,

you'd have d*ed
of self-starvation

by the age of three.

Just have one bite.

Eat it!

Damn.

I don't know why I bother.

I don't give a crap what you do.

[sigh]

One morning, just
before Pop d*ed,

hey, uh-- he calls me over to
the bed, tells me he loves me,

scared the hell out of
me, Pop using the L word.

Then he calls me over closer.

He says, "where's Joey?"

"I don't know, Pop."

There's a long silence, just
sitting there, just him and me.

"You tell Joey, no matter
where he is, I love him."

Those were his last words.

It's kind of weird.

I mean, I've been avoiding
it all these years,

but deep down I kind
of feel the same way.

I mean, I lost my brother once.

I don't want to lose him again.

I need my brother.

What was Ma like?

She was the best.

I can hardly remember.

That's OK.

You were only four
when she d*ed.

Did you bury Pop next to her?

Yeah.

Can we go see them sometime?

Whenever you like, Joey.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You OK?

Fine.

I miss you.

You want to come up to the camp
with me, just for the weekend?

I mean, wouldn't it be
nice to be together again?

Yeah, it would.

Why don't you stay here with me?

I can't.

Yes, you can.

Bye.
