A Kaffir.

Lovely.

Remember to take these in order.

There's a packet

for each day of the week.

This yours?

l found it in the wash.

l keep losing this.

Something's wrong.

No, not really.

lt's just a goddamn pen.

What about the pen?

lt reminds me of something.

Of what?

lt reminds me of...

...the night Vicki was killed.

l didn't mean to push.

That's okay.

We never really talked about this.

l was to meet her for dinner.

One of those romantic dinners for two.

l had so much work.

And l forgot about it.

She waited at the restaurant

for an hour before she drove home.

lt was midnight when l got home

to a ringing phone. l answered it.

They said she was killed in a car crash.

lf l'd been driving,

we'd have been all right.

l remember falling down

on my knees and shaking all over.

l remember thinking, ''l'm losing it.''

There l was lying on the floor...

...and l'm seeing under the couch,

and l see this gold pen.

Just lying there. l'd been looking

for it for two months. There it is.

She wasn't a great housekeeper.

This voice goes off in my head,

like a drill instructor.

lt said, ''Get up! Now!''

l didn't feel like it, but l got up.

Muscles were still working.

Then l drove to the hospital...

...identified her, signed her out

with my gold pen.

Trish found a gold pen in the laundry.

Look around you, Sam.

One day, Sam...

...this'll all be yours.

Find a nice b*tch,

raise a couple of pups.

A man could be happy here.

Anybody tell you if you sit on

cold rocks too long, you get piles?

Let's go watch TV.

Kaffirs!

Wondering about your kids?

About what we've done to them?

lf l was you, l'd be going nuts now.

l'd be going f***ing bananas.

Want to know what we've done?

Shall l tell you?

Just let your imagination run wild.

This has just been a warning.

After this, it gets bloody.

Tell your people to back off.

Don't be a smart Kaffir.

Maybe we let you live, huh?

-You didn't see a face?

-Not one. They had on hoods.

What about a voice?

That crazy motherf***er who did talk

had a strange accent.

Not German, not English.

Kind of guttural. Really shitty accent.

Wait. Anything like what we chased

the other night?

Yeah, kind of like that.

Trish and the kids?

They're at her sister's house

in Bellflower.

Listen up! You heard what happened

to Rog last night?

Forensics get back with anything?

Not yet. They'll keep us posted.

We got to watch each other's

backs and fronts.

You can all watch my back

in poker tomorrow. You in?

-lf we catch these a**holes.

-Count me in.

l got something special for you.

Leo Getz has been placed

in protective custody.

You guys are going to baby-sit

until Washington sends the Feds.
