- Kenny: Previously on "Crash"... - You want a divorce.
l need to start over, find some kind of life for myself.
- What would you do? - Get a job, sell the house.
The house is a mess. Nobody's gonna buy it like this.
- l'll fix it up. - Axel: You illegals want to sneak
into this countrry, stay off everryone's radar?
Take a shower once a week.
Followed our noses straight here, huh?
You don't lay a fucking finger on her or any woman, you understand?
Or what? You will deport me like you did Gustav?
You deported Gustav?
Let's just talk about how l can get back into my house.
Let's talk about how we can get you back into your family.
When l get back from dinner and the movies with the girls
- you go home and l go to bed. - Amy, l get it.
What are you doing here?
l've been getting myself ready for you.
Kenny: Oh.
- ln our-- in our fucking bedroom? - No, sweetheart.
Get the fuck out of my house!
l can use the wife to leverage his statement--
conspiracy, extortion, maybe a double homicide.
You tried to kill me because you knew
l was going to take you down for killing Rock and Shin.
Were you in on it with him, huh, Bebe? Did you help him kill those two people?
Captain, what's going on? Why is my prisoner in there?
- Finet, don't go anywhere. - What's going on?
l can't talk right now. l gotta get out of here.
l want this whole house turned upside down.
Any weapons, any photos, anything with writing on it-- l want it.
l don't know what kind of shit's between you and Ben,
but l really believe he's turning over a new leaf.
Maybe l'm not as bad as you like to make me out to be.
No, you're right, Dad. l had a great childhood.
- Summers in Santa Barbara. - Whose house was that?
Julian's-- your business partner's.
Uncle Julian taught me how to suck cock.
We have to go visit an old friend of mine.
Some things l have to settle.
( theme music playing )
( siren wailing )
Who did this?
Are you the owners of this store?
Yeah, my father owns it.
What happened here?
l'm afraid somebody tried to firebomb the store.
We were wondering if your father might have seen who did it.
Sorrry.
Normally, your Parsons degree,
working three years for an architect,
l'd send you out right now.
- Great. - But that was a long time ago.
Oh, l know l've been out of the job market for a while.
That's true.
But l'm sure l'm not the first mother
to return to work after her children are grown.
Of course. But the economy the way it is,
people don't even need a reason to say no anymore.
Do you have any suggestions at all where l might look for work?
l really need a job.
l can be someone's secretarry
or assistant or whatever they call it now.
See what l mean?
Well, thank you for coming in.
Anything he left is yours.
l'll give you 500 a month plus food,
starting today.
Be here everry morning is all l ask.
Okay.
l take this job.
Remember how you feel right now, Cesar.
lt's hard work.
Sometimes asshole rich customers treat you like dirt.
l want to work.
Yeah, we all love to work.
( blues music playing )
Excuse me. Where can l find Julie the Jew?
- Excuse me? - The record producer Julian Gold--
where is his room?
Woman: Are you family?
Ben, this ain't cool, man.
( whispering ) What kind of a brother are you?
l'm here to take care of some serious business
- and you use my name? - ( whispering ) Chill, man.
- l didn't use your last name. - Man: Cendars!
l can't believe my eyes!
Ben Cendars.
Shit! Rudy fucking Taylor?
How are they hanging, my man? Two in a bunch?
Shit, it's up before me in the morning!
You old son of a bitch. l thought you were fucking dead, man.
That's why l ain't been getting my digits for "The Rain Won't Stop"?
You gotta talk to ASCAP about that.
No shit. "The Rain Don't Stop."
That cut was dope.
Damn, you're Rudy and the Starlites!
Yeah.
Do you ever see Julian Gold?
- Julian the Jew? - Yeah.
Hell yes, he's got a proper room--
got a toilet in there.
Suite 16, but he's in the garden right now.
Anthony, would you keep Rudy company
while l go say hello to my old friend?
- Ben. - Boy--
watch yourself with that man.
What do you mean?
Where are my Ring Dings at? Did you bring them?
Uh, l don't--
Put 'em in my pocket before Nurse Ratched sees you.
Right there.
( snoring )
Wake up, you piece of shit!
Wake up!
l'm gonna kill you for what you did to my daughter!
- Ben. - Yeah.
She was only 15.
- Thank you. - Reverse psychology doesn't work on me.
Kill me if you want to.
l never touched her.
Yes, you did.
lf that makes it easier to kill me,
then believe what you want.
l don't care anymore. l'm a prisoner here.
They won't let me leave.
You betrayed me.
Oh, fuck you, you fucking hypocrite.
You fucked the one woman l ever loved!
The Japanese?
l'm talking about Maria.
l never fucked Maria.
l quit a long time ago.
You'd send me cigarettes when l was in juvie all the time.
So this is you repaying a favor?
Something like that.
l don't need your favors.
l never should have came to you asking for help.
l wanted it so much--
clean my record,
get into med school.
l was willing to do anything
in order to get my criminal record expunged.
l thought l could go back into your world,
but l couldn't.
l'm not that guy anymore.
Live my life.
Live one fraction of it.
You're gonna learn, the system don't always work for our people.
What about Ji Sun?
What did whoring her out do for our people?
My father-- he's done nothing to betray you.
Come after me all you want, but let him live.
You can keep the cigarettes, Park.
He did what he did for his son.
l can respect that.
But you and l...
Your wife's name was Sandra.
l don't care if you fucked her!
lt was her sister Maria.
That was the only woman l ever loved.
But l never touched any little girl.
And certainly, especially not my best friend's daughter.
- She made it up? - Yes.
You're goddamn right she did. Of course she did.
She must really really fuckin' hate me.
( laughs )
l mean, it's a stroke of genius, though.
l mean, that's brilliant. Hey, come on, that's my little girl!
( both laughing )
All right.
Okay. Want to go for a little push?
- Yeah. - ( laughs )
Come on, let's go.
Hey, boys, please take that outside.
Now.
- Mom. - Okay. Outside.
( phone rings )
- Hello? - Man: Mrs. Battaglia?
- ( kids clamoring ) - Yes?
Burt Cardone, Valley Cadillac,
calling to see how you're liking the new Escalade.
Excuse me?
Your credit card went through just fine.
Employment check's all done.
l think you have the wrong number.
This is Amy Battaglia?
- Yes. - Then l got it right.
When did this deal go through?
Last night, just after you came in.
With my long, dark brown hair?
Yes, ma'am.
Well, she was smart enough not to install LoJack or activate OnStar,
but we can still track her with the G.P.S. and navigation system.
We're narrowing in on the location right now.
Thank you.
l am so sorrry, Amy.
l talked to Kenny a million times about this girl.
Really?
She's dangerous.
Even if she wasn't, Kenny's an idiot.
l told him he was making a huge mistake
and he should find his way back to you
- and the boys-- - Look. Please,
like you're some model of propriety.
Last l checked, your boyfriend's married too.
- Amy-- - You've been to my house.
Why didn't you tell me?
What happened?
l think it's called identity theft.
lt's what l get for kicking the whore out of my house.
She fucking bought a car?
Yeah, an Escalade, platinum series.
Your fucking girlfriend took out five credit cards in my name,
all of which have been maxed out,
and drained 20 Gs from our savings account.
Don't know how she did it, but she must have gotten my Social Security number.
Okay, we need to check the l.R.A.s, the college funds.
You know what? This is your mess, Kenny.
You clean it up. l'm done.
He hasn't tried to contact his wife.
No credit card activity.
Probably ditched his cell.
No luck triangulating him.
Just poof.
Now he's wanted for a whole laundrry list of shit
that includes a double homicide.
Finet's sharp, okay?
He surprised me by how far ahead he thought things out.
He probably had an exit strategy in place for months.
Break glass in case of emergency, right?
l'll roust his C.l., see if that gets anyone in motion.
A state A.P.B. is out, but he's one of us.
He knows how we play the game, so, um--
excuse me, Officer Arcel. What do you want?
- l thought l could help. - You can, after we get him.
Okay? Thanks.
Let's get out there. Do what you can.
We've got a ghost to catch. Let's catch him.
l like to keep things compartmentalized--
need to know, okay?
Are you having me followed?
Do you have a stake-out detail on your house? Yes.
What's next, tapping my phone?
Put emotion aside. Think about it logically.
You're one of the three most important people in his life--
his wife, his son and you,
and not necessarily in that order.
Eventually he'll reach out for one of you.
And if he did contact me, you don't think l would report it?
l'm hoping not to put you in that position again, Officer.
Your batting average is pretty anemic.
Meaning you don't trust me.
You're in good company. l don't trust myself.
Well then l think we should both sit this one out.
No no no. l want this prick.
What happened to putting emotion aside?
There's a big difference. lf you give into your emotion, he gets laid.
lf l give into mine, he gets dead.
Kenny: Yeah, l'm heading east on 3rd. l just crossed La Brea.
Yeah, she's right in front of me.
No no. Hey, Georgie, l'm not back on the job
but l want to make this arrest, all right?
Well, then send backup to cover your asses,
but l gotta do this. Just be there.
All right. Thanks, pal. l owe you.
( honks )
( tires skid )
Turn off the ignition. Toss the keys.
ls there a problem, Officer?
Get out of the goddamn car.
- Ah. l guess you talked to your wife. - Turn around.
Put your hands up.
Are you gonna poke me with your weapon?
- ( laughs ) What the fuck? - Gone to the shopping mall?
You gonna prick me, you fucking witch?
- What are you doing? - Suspect is being noncompliant.
- What? - ( sirens )
- Drop to your fucking knees. - Oh!
- Face down, arms down, palms up. - What?
- Arms down, palms up. - Kenny, what are you doing?
You can fuck around with me but not my wife.
Stay the hell away from my goddamn family.
- She's all yours. - Stay where you are.
Kenny, it was a joke!
That cop's harassing me!
Help! Fuck!
( knocks )
Ann...
- Cooper did this. - You both destroyed my home.
- Where's your son? - He's at my mother-in-law's.
You know, excuse me if l don't make you tea.
What do you want?
l have to find Axel.
And l'm supposed to help you find him?
Why? So you can run off together?
He will never come in peacefully,
and Cooper will end up being the judge, jurry and executioner.
Well, then my husband will get what he deserves.
And your son?
What happens to him?
l'm trrying to help because--
Because you're still in love with him and he's in love with you.
Since the beginning, he's loved you more.
He closes his eyes when he's fucking me.
He never did that before.
You know, what? Fuck you!
l hope this detective finds him and finishes off what l couldn't.
So you did shoot Axel.
You're just lucky l didn't see you together.
Look, you don't have to like me.
l never expect you to.
And you don't have to believe how sorrry l am for what l did to you and Nicky,
but you do have to help me make this right.
Why should l?
Because of your son.
And Axel.
lf he gets hurt out there, that won't stop your pain.
l'll get him to turn himself in,
and then you can tell your son that his father did the right thing.
Axel's always worried about Nicky looking up to him.
There's a campsite around Lone Pine.
Axel takes Nicky there camping.
He goes there to clear his head sometimes.
You know the name?
Tom Denton State Park.
( engine revving, tires screech )
( tires screech )
( engine revving, tires screech )
- Are you fucking crazy?! - Stop following me!
l've gotta make sure you're bringing your boy in
and not giving him a ride to Tijuana!
l'll get him to turn himself in.
Now he may do it if l can talk to him,
but l have to go alone.
That's not how it works, Officer.
lf he chooses to turn himself in, great.
And if he doesn't?
Take him by any means necessarry.
- You'd shoot another cop. - He's a fucking killer.
Why don't you take your head out of your twat and remember that?
Fuck you.
Look, just because he broke everry oath he ever took
doesn't mean you can too. Okay? l'm sorry...
for the language.
Where is he?
Come on.
He may be at a campsite near Lone Pine.
- What are you doing? - Looking for my phone.
- Why? - l'm gonna alert the local sheriffs.
He'll be looking for them, probably has a scanner.
All right. We'll call them when we get there.
- We? - Yeah...
partner.
Look what you did to my car. Come on, let's go.
Shit.
- Uh-oh. - How dare you?
How dare you buy a fucking car with my name?
Something nice for you to drive the kids around in, short bus.
What did she call me, Kenny?
- Nothing. - What did she call me?
High school sweethearts
buy a house, have two kids
and then are too fucking tired for the shitty sex.
- Amy: Oh, is that right? - Kenny: That's enough.
Who wouldn't want to cheat on that?
Hey, watch your fucking mouth, will ya?
You know what l did to get your husband?
Nothing. He came after me.
- Amy. - l tried to push him away,
but he wouldn't take no for an answer.
- Tell her. - You stay away from me,
you stay away from my kids,
and if you want my fucking husband, you can take him.
Asshole!
Eddie Choi, thanks for coming by on such short notice.
l don't know what this is about
or how you even got my name.
Officer Bebe Arcel referred your case to me.
lt actually appealed to me quite a bit.
What case is that?
Your petition to expunge your felonies.
Officer Arcel called you about that?
Yeah, she told me that you had been quite helpful with the police.
Yeah, that's true.
l spoke with Assistant District Attorney Jutamonte about this
just a little while ago.
She mentioned that you had given some additional information
to a Detective Cooper with some sort of an l.A. case.
l just told him what l saw.
That's good. That's probably why she said
she wouldn't contest your petition.
What does that mean?
That means that sometimes the system worls
and that if you still want it, you're free to apply to medical school.
- ( knock on door ) - Just a minute.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Lou: Gimme that! You're kicking me out of the house.
The least l can do is carry my own bags.
l'm not kicking you out. The house was sold.
Yeah, out from under me. Good thing l'm a fast healer.
- Hi, dad. - Ah. My savior.
l thought l was gonna be living on the streets.
Callie saves the day.
Uh, so Megan told me that you guys found an apartment.
Yeah, it's a condo.
- But you guys are renting. - For now.
l gotta cross the 405 just to see my granddaughter.
She could come see you.
Let me give you guys a minute.
l think l can handle this little guy.
Here, let me leave you with a little something.
Dad, no.
Please, do it for me.
Thank you for being here.
You're gonna be fine.
l know.
And l'm gonna love you even if you're not.
See you, Daddy.
l'm sorrry.
Yeah, me too.
l was upset.
lt won't happen again.
l know.
Let's go home.
Hmm?
A hot bath?
You can punish me some more if you want.
lt's over.
- What is? - This.
l'm leaving you, lnez.
- You can't. - l can and l am.
Well, you won't be able to stay away.
Yeah? Just watch me.
See, it's different this time.
l don't feel anything anymore.
- So you're just gonna leave me in here? - Mm-hmm.
l'm gonna give a statement on my wife's behalf.
lf you ever pretend to be her again--
You're the one who came after me.
You got rid of my husband.
l was sick.
You were a virus.
Don't say that.
No matter what it takes,
l gotta get well.
( crying ) You can't do this, Kenny.
You can't just leave me here.
What am l gonna do?
( both laughing )
Ben!
Ben: Hold on a second, will you?
Hi.
- What, are you kidnapping him? - No.
Give me a joint.
Jules needs some real medicine.
( both laugh )
- Boy? - Oh, hey, Rudy.
- Let me see your eyes. - Why?
What the fuck?!
l saw what you handed that man!
Damn, you lucky you a old motherfucker.
What l tell you about that stuff, Lester?
Who the hell is Lester?
l want my Ring Dings!
That looks great.
You don't have to do much. l just had to make it look presentable.
You sell this house?
Yeah, l did.
Big house.
Yeah, it is.
l like this house.
Yeah, we had some good times here.
Uh, agua?
Thank you.
Gracias.
You're working hard. Thank you.
l have to...
if someday l'm gonna buy this house.
( Eddie speaks Korean )
That cop-- she called a lawyer for me and called the D.A.
lf all goes well, my record will be clear
by the time l apply for med school.
( store bell dings )
( cell phone ringing )
- Hello? - Mikey: Eddie.
Mikey, l've got some news, brother.
l heard about what happened to your father's store today.
Yeah. He's okay and so is the store.
Come to the sul jip, man.
- Why? What's up? - Just come here. You know which one.
So the tribe come to claim their own, huh?
What, did l.C.E. let you go?
l have visa.
Sure you do.
Maybe you're not the only dirty cop in the system.
l ain't a dirty cop.
Marko: lt doesn't look like you're even a cop anymore.
So you're gonna go back to these assholes?
Thanls to you l had no one to call.
Marko: You fucking gajo men piss on your women.
We come back, clean up your mess.
Gotta take care of your family, right?
( speaking foreign language )
Fuck you.
( men chatting )
What's going on?
Glad you could make it, man.
All these guys are here because of you.
They all know the truth about what you did.
They know you went against Park and took him down.
More importantly,
they know you were righteous.
You did what people only talked about.
You took a stand out of respect and for tradition,
something these streets haven't seen for years.
You did it for the community.
They want you to lead them.
But l--
Things will get much worse around here if the wrong guy takes over.
Welcome home, Eddie.
Cooper: Now there's the place.
Good.
We'll wait for the Podunk police right here.
- ( horn honls ) - What the fuck are you doing?
lt was an accident.
( emphatically ) lt was an accident.
What the fuck you think-- l'm trying to warn him?
Be careful.
- Can l ask you a personal question? - Bebe: No.
What attracted you to him? Really.
l mean, despite his incredible looks
and his irresistible charm. Let's not forget his intellect.
l mean this guy thinls that manual training was a Mexican president.
You really hate him, don't you?
With all my being.
No one he allegedly hurt was innocent.
"Hurt"? You still have doubts, huh?
- You know what l mean. - You mean they deserved to be killed?
l didn't say that.
- You know what that makes you? - What?
Cafeteria cop-- you know, like a cafeteria Catholic?
Goes in a line and chooses which sins he'll take and which he'll ignore.
Problem is, once you do that, you're no longer a Catholic.
- Don't fucking judge me. - l'm not fucking judging you.
Hey. Hey, look.
When l was working undercover,
l fell in love with this little miss thing.
She was a junkie, actually, okay?
And that's who l started getting high with.
Somehow l convinced myself if l just busted everryone around her,
then we'd get clean.
And that's how drugs made me a cafeteria cop,
like love's doing to you.
Let's go.
- Bebe: Come on, let me do this. - Cooper: No fucking way.
We'll go in with the cavalrry.
You know he's not going down without a fight.
We wait for backup.
l can bring him in. l know l can.
lf we go in there all gangbusters, someone will get killed.
You're not thinking clearly.
More now than ever.
lf l let you go in there alone,
either he kills you or you end up as a hostage.
You're wrong. He wouldn't do that to me.
We wait for backup!
l'm not supposed to smoke, you know. l have emphysema.
Well, stop bogarting the fucking joint.
They say you get what you deserve.
Ain't that the truth?
What do you got?
What do you mean?
You get to hit our age, you gotta have something. What do you got?
Regrets.
Little Jules--
skinny blonde girl.
Fuck, l thought she was 18.
( groans )
( grunting )
( siren approaching )
- Oh, those stupid motherfuckers. - Fuck.
We gotta go now. Go. Let's go. Go.
Cooper: Freeze!
Don't move, motherfucker.
Huh-uh. Move away from that table.
Move or l'll blow your worthless fuckin' head off. Move!
Bebe: Axel!
Please.
You see? l always said that you were a good cop.
Show him how good you handcuff people.
l love you, Bebe.
Bebe: l'm no cafeteria cop.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do
can and will be held against you in the court of law.
Don't forget the best part. "lf you can't afford a lawyer," dot dot dot.
Fuck you.
( sirens wail )
They're playing our song.
You want me to throw on some tunes?
ls everything straight with you and that Julian dude?
The paper-skinned clutch of ruin.
Excuse me?
What happened to me?
You got old, Ben. lt happens.
l fucked it all up.
My children hate me.
All l've done is produce ethereal music.
lt comes out of a stereo and floats away into space.
And now l'm floating away, Anthony,
and l've left nothing behind.
Come on, man, this is America.
Right?
There's always a chance for a second act,
even a third or a fourth for a crazy motherfucker like you.
You're Ben Cendars.
You're a good man, Panic.
All right.
So, where to? Home?
No no, go to the office.
l have to see my daughter.
Fuckin' good times.
Fuck.
( rock song playing )
( rock song continues )
