See that way I can have|a before... and an after.

Now, you didn't like|my picture book, Ramon?

Huh?

How do you think|you're gonna end up?

How you gonna get it, Ramon?|Like him?

You need to think about that.

These guys are media junkies.|Robbin' banks in the morning...

and watching themselves|on television in the afternoon.

Hello, Frank.

Hey.

- Testifying in the Cortez case?|- Who's gonna cover it? You?

Care to comment on that?

Yeah, the cop.|I think he's guilty.

Actually, there are|three cops involved.

Well, then, all three of them|must be guilty.

I mean, that's what you're gonna|say anyway, right?

- Right.|- So now you've got a source.

Back in '65,|it was the Watts riots.

Then, early '7 0s,|the Hillside Strangler...

and, uh, the Night Stalker.

You got everybody|good and scared.

So afraid, they couldn't even|come out of their houses at night.

Then, along came the early '90s...

Rodney King beatings, and, uh...

well, by then, we all became|a bunch of racists, right?

It's gonna be a|while. Judge had

to hear a PI motion|in part 49.

What does that translate to,|an 8:00 a.m. tee time at Riviera?

- More or less.|- How long do you think?

- Couple hours.|- All right. Thanks.

You know, you forgot O.J.

- Did I? Well, imagine that.|- Uh-huh.

I'll tell you what.|

Why don't you come by|my house some evening...

and, uh, I'll show you|my Bruno Magli shoe, size 1 0 1 /2.

I only got one though. I left|the other one somewhere in Brentwood.

- Bye, Frank.|- See ya.

- There you go, chief.|- Gracias, seor.

- Payback.|- You're gonna get us in trouble, Henry.

You see that kid|in the car right there?

He's the one in trouble, not us.

Sometimes you gotta do|what you can do to reach somebody.

That's very noble,|Henry, but showing

crime-scene photos|of a live case.

- And playing preacher--|- You know what?

Just 'cause you don't|stand up for your own

beliefs, doesn't mean|I don't for mine.

Hey, you don't know sh*t|about my beliefs, Henry.

All I'm saying is|these days you even

look at a suspect|the wrong way...

and the department gets sued.

And our asses get hauled off|before a trial board. All right?

Slide over.

Turn around so I can uncuff you.

You hungry?

I brought you some food.

Here we go.

- Where's he going?|- That's not our guy.

Sh*t!

Screw this sh*t, man.|

- Can you guys set up? And you, don't forget about Friday.|- Yes.

- It's your turn to buy margaritas, huh?|- That's right.

- Luis, can you open up for me?|- Yes, sir. I'm gonna do that.

- Listen.|- Thanks. What's up with Bagstrom?

- It's on your desk.|- Okay. Great.

Judy.|

Morning.|How's everybody doing today?

Change of plans.|We do the bank.

- Okay. I'm with you. Let's do the bank.|-
