ELI:
I could?
Mm-hm. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
Two-thirty is actually better
for me, so, yeah, okay.
That's a personal call,
is it?
Uh, can I call you back?
Thanks. Bye.
How's the job hunt going?
A little tougher
than you thought or--?
Well, carry on.
Keep up the good work.
Ahem.
What?
All I was trying to say
in there was, you know,
I want him on the street
getting a life,
not in there getting
a latte.
Why don't you just
tell him that, then?
And spoil all the fun?
Do me a favor.
What's wrong
with you?
Uh-oh.
GILLIAN:
This is Juan Ramirez,
street name, Prince John
of the 9-6 Click.
Push in tighter.
That's, uh,
Detective, uh...
What's his name again?
Farr.
Murderous hatred.
What happens next?
So no part of you is thinking,
"I told you so," huh?
GILLIAN:
Internal Affairs.
They've been watching
Wallowski for a while.
It's not uncommon to run
surveillance on Gang Unit cops.
Got this from IA?
They came to me
because of your
relationship with Wallowski,
which they know about.
All right. Look at her.
She's pissed off
at her partner.
She tried to stop him.
It could be argued
that she did that
once the other cops
arrived.
It could also be argued
that you thought having a
compromised cop was a good idea
and there was nothing
I could do or say to warn you.
This is a message to you
from Internal Affairs.
Your new friend, Wallowski,
is under the microscope.
And they want me
to stay out of it.
You want me
to stay out of it.
Dr. Lightman.
What do you want?
Every cop in the city
to pass a fitness test.
Police range.
Police personnel only.
What's Prince John got on you
that makes you wanna kill him?
Have a nice day.
It's not so much fun
killing cardboard, is it?
Let me guess.
You've seen the video.
Yeah.
You wanna know
how I got it?
IA gave me that tape.
Now, why would they
be watching you,
do you think,
in your humble opinion?
What you saw on that tape is
my partner subduing a suspect.
Trying to kill him,
more like.
Kids like
Prince John,
they keep guns in the
wheel wells of nearby cars.
He was going
for a hidden gun.
Oh, so where's the gun
now then,
in a police
evidence locker somewhere?
You working with IA now?
If I was,
you'd be at the cop shop.
Answer me. What's going on
between you and your partner?
What are you hiding?
You know, you do that whole
tough-guy-cop thing really well.
But do me a favor, save it
for the customers, all right?
Look, he's a mid-level dealer
with the 9-6s.
All right. So if there was
a reason to arrest him yesterday
what's he doing
on the street today?
Herman Farr is a good man,
period.
What your partner did
on that tape
is the beginning of the end
for both of you.
What do you care?
I'm just the cop
you like to squeeze
on the street, in the sack.
In the sack?
That's a bit previous,
isn't it?
That beating was personal.
Prince John has something
on your partner,
and you know exactly
what it is.
Which makes you a target.
I can take care of myself.
Thank you.
Give us a go, then.
You know,
you do need my help.
You just don't know
how to ask for it, do you?
All right.
Hey.
Easy, tiger.
I'll drive.

Let's make this quick.

Vigilante five-0 bitch.
It's Prince John, right?
Do you know what a prince
is where I come from?
What did you say?
No--
Yeah, but I wasn't talking
about your sexual preference.
A prince, where I come from,
is a burden on a taxpayer.
WALLOWSKI:
Settle.
She's been practicing.
Beat it, snow.
What's she gonna find on you
if she pats you down, eh?
Seriously.
What's she gonna plant on him,
you mean?
Eight ball with your name on it
in this pocket right here.
Ask your question. Go on.
What you got on my partner?
I know he's fat.
That's true. Ha, ha.
You see, I think you can do
better than that, really.
Don't you, Wallowski?
Mm-hm.
You know the drill.
Oh, seriously.
It means we gotta go.
I'll be back.
Speak up, all right.
Let's go.
That tune-up that
Detective Farr gave you,
was personal, right?
So that means either you have
unfinished business
or Detective Farr
is on the take.
Or you got something
he wants.
Tune-up?
CAL: Yeah.
No.
Well, I got it.
Option two, Detective Farr
is on the take.
That's not news to you.
You're gonna take his word
over a decorated cop?
That was no ordinary beating.
All right, Farr wanted
to kill him.
Which is why the prince here
is on the run.
What, you see me running?
My advice to you:
dust off your sneakers,
princess.
We done?
I need a ride home.
Well, protect and serve.
This is the serve bit.
RIA:
The good news is
Wallowski doesn't have
much of a poker face.
Pursed lips and puffed cheeks
indicate resignation.
Widened eyes show fear.
Oh, yeah?
We're breaking down the videos
into microexpressions.
I'll break you down into
microexpressions in a minute.
Put your hand on your heart
and tell me
you think
Wallowski's clean.
What, you mean
clean like you?
Give us the room.
Now, look, I didn't
mean that in a bad way.
I know what you meant.
Have a seat.
Now what, nurse?
You came up on IA's radar
the minute you and Wallowski
decided to start
seeing each other.
That's a business meeting.
I don't have an ax
to grind against her, I don't.
[PHONE RINGING]
You don't trust my judgment
where she's concerned.
I don't wanna see you
get hurt.
Yeah.
All right.
It's a little late
for that now.
For what?
I'm up to my neck in it.
Come on.
MAN [OVER RADIO]:
Oh, yeah, copy that.
North, he's heading it up
from here.
MAN:
Yeah,
the gun was in the back...
WALLOWSKI:
Prince John.
I dropped him off an hour ago.
WOMAN:
Dr. Foster,
can I have a word?
[♪♪♪]
This isn't happening.
Did he do this?
He didn't say.
Does he know who did this?
If he did, he wouldn't be
standing here talking about it.
Did you ask him?
He's a city cop,
20 years.
You asked him.
Your worst nightmare,
he lied to you.
Incoming.
Detective Wallowski,
Internal Affairs, Jenkins.
Weapon, please, detective.
What?
Or do you want me
to arrest you here?
Arrest her for what?
That.
On what evidence?
[♪♪♪]
Eyewitness.
MAN:
Open the gate.
CAL:
So I'm thinking,
I distract the guards,
and you start digging.
You got a spoon on you?
WOMAN:
Well, we got some place here.
Or you could tell me
the truth about Farr, huh?
I'll get you out
that way.
Look, Farr didn't kill
Prince John.
You and I lifted him, an hour
later he's back on the street,
that's why he's dead.
You don't believe that.
So I bit my lip.
Give me a break.
If one of those gangbangers
think you killed Prince John
this is the worst possible
place you could be, love.
Mind if I speak
with my partner now?
I'll get you
that spoon.
What took you so long?
She's never gonna
rat out her partner.
I mean, you can offer any deal
you like, it's not gonna happen.
Uh-huh. So that's
your science speaking, is it?
You need me.
Badly.
Ha, ha.
This is a department
investigation, Dr. Lightman.
Do you wanna look good
or do you wanna get this right
and look even better?
If you are gaming me,
I will flush you
down the toilet.
You and Wallowski.
Bollocks.
You got an innocent cop
sitting in jail
with a target on her back.
Wallowski is there
because we have
an eyewitness, motive,
and no alibi.
You look me in the eye
and you tell me
you don't have skeletons.
Because, you know, if I start
looking, I'll find them.
What do you want?
Detective Farr.
But not here.
At my place.
My comfort zone, not his.
When you find dirt
on that woman, Wallowski,
which I know there is--
That woman?
Is that your science
talking now?
--then you'll give her
to me too.
PHILLIPS [ON RECORDING]:
I just saw a boy shot,
95th and Chalmers.
White lady cop threw him out
her car, then started shooting.
MAN:
And you said an officer
was involved?
PHILLIPS:
Wachowski, Willinski...
[CLEARS THROAT]
Something like that.
Works the gangs up here.
CAL:
I thought I took your desk away.
This is the 911 tape
of the eyewitness.
Has an evasive vocal tic.
The throat clearing,
she did it when she was making
statements about Wallowski.
Did you come up with this
all by yourself?
And if you listen to the tape
in its entirety...
PHILLIPS:
It was definitely her.
She gives unnecessary details.
Not answering
questions directly.
She's lying.
Maybe she's just old.
Look,
you keep doing that.
And it just gets
funnier and funnier.
Where did you get the 911 tape
from then, eh?
You're not the only one
with contacts.
What, Loker?
Afraid so.
Next time, however,
will you run it by me first?
That throat clearing,
it's phlegm. She's a smoker.
African coffee,
best on the planet.
Is that your son in there,
Mrs. Phillips?
Oh, Lord, no.
Grandson.
Luis. He lives with me.
How do you take it?
A splash of milk,
two sugars. That's me.
Where in Africa?
Kenya.
MAN 1 [ON TV]:
Exploding bomb.
MAN 2:
Watch that chopper.
You trying to make
your grandma deaf?
Leave her out of this.
Leave her out of what?
You're a cop.
I can smell.
How old are you, then?
Nice ink, that.
That's the 9-6s, is it?
You know, the proud, the few.
However it goes.
Comedian cop.
You just play your game.
You don't mind me, all right?
How about over here?
MAN 1:
Again.
Stop there.
And whoever killed
Prince John,
I wouldn't breathe a word
about that if I were you.
I know nothing about that.
Smart. Keep your mouth shut.
You pick your side in this war
carefully, you never know.
Next time it could be you,
couldn't it?
Beat it, snow.
MAN 1:
Watch it!
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
I'll get that if I were you.
So you never leave home
without it, right?
Oh, yeah,
because I look that stupid.
Keep it. I'm straight.
Snow, I'm beginning
to like that.
It's growing on me.
Very creative.
I'm going to Ronnie's house.
Be home for dinner.
It's your favorite.
Ronnie's house, my ass.
Here. Merry Christmas.
It's a firing pin.
Just so long as
he comes home, is all.
Right.
What was I saying?
The shooting.
Prince John.
Yes.
I'm 110 percent certain it was
the Wallowski girl who shot him.
I might be old,
but I'm not blind.
You know, there's many
different kinds of blindness.
Blind is blind.
Right, yeah.
Well, thanks for your time,
Mrs. Phillips.
That's it?
What about your coffee?
Rain check.
[RAP MUSIC
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Hey, what's up, fool?
Hi, mate.
Luis.
I thought you was on your way
to Ronnie's.
You lost?
Oh, look at you lot, eh?
Matching ink.
You guys must really, really
like each other. Or something.
Not that there's
anything wrong with that.
MAN:
It's okay.
Evening, all.
FARR:
Another day in D.C., professor.
CAL:
Oh, blimey.
MAN [OVER RADIO]:
West station by South.
I believe in the west.
Your partner has got
an alibi this time,
her being in jail.
Who was he?
His street name is Stomper.
Local pharmaceutical rep
for the 9-6s.
Who's that one?
Who's that one, eh?
What's he smiling about, eh?
He's not smiling.
Calm down. It's not
a capital offense, you know?
Disperse those clowns.
What, you mean
lift them, right?
I mean, they know
the dead guy.
They run
in the same gang together.
Hello, Luis. How you doing,
mate? Who's that one over there?
Oh. He's that dangerous,
is he?
How does Detective Farr
know him?
Hit me in the stomach.
Back off, man.
Is he one of the ones
grabbing for power?
Is he?
Hey, if you hit me
in the stomach,
I'll pay you
$50 with a smile.
Which one is gonna make you
look better?
You're crazy.
Look, whoever killed Prince John
killed your friend over there.
Right?
Who was it?
Not that lady cop.
Thanks for that.
All right, stomach,
not face, all right?
[GRUNTS]
Ha, ha.
That's really cool.
Did you see that?
You okay?
Oh, no,
I'm fine.
Yup.
You tell your IA friend
I wanna talk to that one there.
All right?
This isn't a gang war.
It's more like
a gang at war with itself.
And he knows it.
He's part of it, he is.
He's even picked sides.
[♪♪♪]
Two 9-6s in two days,
Suarez.
Busy man.
First off, he's not a man,
so try "boy."
See what I mean?
You call this science?
Well, it sells books,
you know?
Ask him why he's so happy
his own gang members are dead.
Speak.
You got nothing on me.
The lady cop killed Prince John
and set him up.
Why are you lying about her?
You need her out of the way?
You need her where she's easier
to get to, right?
Inside.
You know,
I'm with you.
Killing cops?
Serious business.
Lawyer.
No need.
You're free to go.
Get out of here.
CAL:
All right.
You know him, do you?
I work Gangs.
He's in a gang.
You seem
exceptionally relieved
to see him walking out of here
a free man.
Let me guess.
He asked for a lawyer.
You interviewed him,
have you?
FARR:
A few times.
Always with Wallowski?
I got one for you.
Tell Wallowski
you were on the IA payroll
when you started doing her?
Why have you kept me
waiting out here?
No reason.
You can go now.
I want interrogation tape
on him and Wallowski
and any other 9-6s.
Get out of here.
I would,
but I got work to do.
Let me
ask you something.
Is this about
catching corrupt cops
or is this about
saving your friend?
Because I still have
an eyewitness.
So you were two blocks away
when you heard the shots.
Is that right?
Why don't you let him
tell us where he was?
I was
two blocks away.
So in this one, Farr is
controlling the interrogation.
He's warning Suarez.
And the next one.
We put you there.
We got witnesses.
We know J.T.
has a beef with you.
We just wanna hear
your side of the story.
I need a break.
You finish this.
Wallowski walks out before
the interrogation is over.
They've been in there for hours.
She needed a tinkle.
Maybe she was letting Farr
blow the interrogation.
Is there anything here
you agree on?
Yes.
There's definitely
some kind of relationship
between Detective Farr
and Suarez.
Agreed. Farr does sound
compromised at times.
Well, if Farr's dirty,
Wallowski is dirty.
What's that?
What is that?
Guilt by association?
May I remind you--?
Yeah, you may.
You've got an eyewitness.
I haven't forgotten.
Wallowski is arraigned
in the morning.
My hands are tied.
If she goes to County,
that's a death sentence.
Well, she either gives up her
partner or she's on her own.
Thanks for your help.
Oh, you wanted me to lie.
I see now.
And Mrs. Phillips,
are you comfortable?
I saw what I saw.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Let's just get on with it,
shall we?
We have a quick video
we'd like you to take a look at.
And when I
turn that off,
just give us as much detail
about it as you can.
There were three people.
A couple holding hands,
an old man in a ball cap,
and a blue car parked.
Do you know what change
blindness is, Mrs. Phillips?
Changed what?
Change blindness.
We see what we anticipate we're
gonna see, even if it changes.
The brain doesn't react
to the change.
Right.
Like Charles here.
This was actually Loker
just a minute ago.
So, you saw Wallowski
drop Prince John off
but did you look away
for any time
before the shooting
started?
I--
I think
I was brewing coffee.
And then when
the shooting started,
you saw the shooter,
right?
Who you thought was the same
person you saw with Prince John
just moments earlier.
[♪♪♪]
CAL:
I was about
to bring you that spoon.
How did you
get me out?
Change blindness.
[♪♪♪]
WALLOWSKI:
What you looking at, Flaco?
Lovely weather we're having.
I'm not talking about Farr.
Balmy for this time of year.
You want me
to talk about Farr
because you're working
with IA, right?
That's how you got me
out of jail.
You're working
some kind of deal?
Right. Well, that's
that out of the way, then.
Where do we go now?
Straight to sex?
Look, you know he's dirty,
right?
It's not exactly
breaking his heart
selling you out,
by the way.
What if he was?
And I'm not saying that he is.
Is what?
Dirty.
You just said it.
There are two types
of dirty.
One is who you are
and one happens to you.
Oh, Farr is a victim.
Do me a favor.
Wanna know how it happens?
How what happens?
Corruption.
You did it again.
Heh.
I'm too tired for this.
Well, humor me.
I bought the wine.
ELI:
So we isolated
some of her reactions
during the Suarez
interrogation.
First interview.
After a softball from Farr,
she purses her lips,
barely noticeable.
Five months later
she looks away, brow furrows,
much more intense reaction.
In an interrogation last year,
you see disgust around her nose,
around her mouth.
And finally six weeks ago
her entire body
shifts away from Farr,
and she leaves the room.
So in terms
of intensity,
her disgust with Farr rises
from A to E in lockstep
with Suarez's crimes.
As he went from joyriding
to homicide.
She's known all along
that Suarez and Farr
had some kind of deal.
Lightman's watched
all of these interviews.
How could he miss this?
Change blindness.
That's not bad
for 7 bucks, that.
You know about wine?
It's made from grapes.
What do you do when
your partner busts a 14-year-old
with a few grams of heroin?
You send them to juvie
for a Ph.D. in Criminology
or cut them a break?
I don't know.
You tell me.
You start small.
You just fudge some paperwork
here and there.
Knock a banger around a bit,
get a shooter out of him.
You know,
that's all very interesting.
But not one mention
of Detective Farr.
I'm trying to tell you,
you get deep enough in,
you can't get back out.
You know, two dead bodies
is a world away
from fudging a bit of paperwork,
darling.
Really.
So get on with it, then.
[CAR APPROACHING]
Candles?
Cabinet.
Top left of the stove.
Sexy music.
On it.
Lube?
Just kidding.
You got a light?

Just saying.
How long are you gonna pretend
there's nothing going on?
Oh, you wanna talk
about this now?
The IA leaned on my partner
to lean on me to give you up.
Now, I'm being disloyal
to my partner
because you're being loyal to a
man who's up to his neck in it.
You're saying Dr. Foster
is wrong about me?
Like she's wrong about
me sometimes.
It comes from a good place.
[♪♪♪]
You ever hear of
off-duty booty?
Suarez is Farr's son.
I wouldn't do that
if I were you, mate.
You.
It raises the blood pressure,
you know?
I mean, if you want
a get-out-of-jail-free pass
from the IA
you might wanna get it
under control, mate.
All right, suit yourself.
But it does make your neck
blob out a bit, you know?
Aye, aye.
Wallowski.
Well, you can stick a fork
in her and all
because she's cooked.
You both are.
Did you know that someone
shot up her house last night?
Oh, first you've heard of it.
Well, that's a good sign,
I suppose.
You wanna know who it was?
It was your boy, Suarez.
And when I say "your boy,"
what I mean is "your son."
Nineteen years old.
Mowing his way
through his own gang
while you look
the other way.
[♪♪♪]
You okay?
I'm good.
And so is Suarez.
It starts simple.
Right. You're just trying
to do the right thing
like any real dad would.
You can't protect him
anymore.
He tried killing you
last night.
Choose.
Your partner
or your son.
Detective Farr.
[♪♪♪]
Get me Lightman. Now.
He's not in yet.
Well, he bends Farr's ear
before the hearing,
Farr comes in and spills.
Suarez is his son.
He's been in the kid's pocket
for years.
So you got your dirty cop.
Congratulations.
Farr's son killed
Prince John and Stomper.
He knew
they were blackmailing Farr.
And Wallowski knew it too.
She's dirty.
I mean, eight hour days
with Farr for five years?
That doesn't sound
like proof.
Farr takes the heat,
says Wallowski knows nothing.
Lying through his teeth,
and Lightman put him up to it.
Oh, this isn't about
Wallowski anymore, is it?
It's about Lightman.
You can choose,
Wallowski or your partner.
Because I will bring down
this whole circus act
if I have to.
Understand?
Do you need that
in writing?
[♪♪♪]
Her contempt
for Farr's choices
is getting harder
to contain.
She knew about Suarez.
And you're sure about that?
Put her in the cube
for long enough
and if she's guilty,
she'll betray herself.
[♪♪♪]
CAL:
The muscles in your cheek,
relax them.
No, no. Hands down.
If you cover your mouth,
you give yourself away.
You know,
if you teach me how to lie,
you might never be able
to trust me.
All right.
Pay attention.
Focus on what we're doing.
You're not helping me.
You're just trying
to save yourself now.
That was good.
You hid the contempt.
GILLIAN:
There are four key emotions
displayed here.
Disappointment, frustration,
disgust, outrage.
And just like contempt
any of these would expose
Wallowski's role
in covering up
Farr's crimes.
And you can show me
what to look for?
And what to ask.
Ask her a question
she doesn't expect.
That's where you'll find
unfiltered emotion,
something
she won't be able to hide.
CAL:
You knew the relationship
between Farr and Suarez.
They were friendly.
Part of our work with Gang Unit
is to connect with these kids.
But I had no idea
until yesterday
they were father
and son.
Oh, that's good.
Nice.
Lying comes naturally
to you.
Good teacher.
[♪♪♪]
Just part your lips a little
for surprise, you know?
They'll be looking for that.
I don't know
if I can do this.
Of course you can.
I can't lose the one cop
I can squeeze on the street.
Tell me a lie.
Anything you like.
I hate you.
Now, that's brilliant.
You're ready.
You knew Detective Farr
had a relationship
with Marco Suarez?
We're meant to form
relationships
with street-level
dealers.
Did you know
he was helping Suarez?
No. I didn't know
anything about that.
But you do know
that he beat Prince John
to cover his relationship
with Suarez
to support Suarez's move
to control the 9-6s.
Now that he has confessed,
sure, I guess.
Is Detective Farr a good
father to his children?
Which ones?
To his regular,
family ones.
You mean his white ones?
Don't deflect the question,
detective.
I'm sorry.
What was the question again?
Oh, yeah. Uh...
He's incredible
with his kids.
Well, don't look at me, Loker.
Give it to them straight.
I got nothing here.
Zip.
Was Wallowski in on this
with Farr or not?
She's been coached.
Or maybe she's clean.
And you call yourself
scientists?
You call cops
who disagree "cops," right?
Unless one of them is dirty.
Well, she's saying
Wallowski's clean.
Aren't you, Dr. Foster?
Wait. What are you
walking away for, eh?
That's not right.
Don't do that.
Never mind.
I'm not going anywhere,
so let's have it.
What do you see in her,
Cal?
I would have done the same thing
for my partner.
It's called loyalty.
That's kind of ironic
from where I'm standing.
Well?
Is Wallowski lying?
Yes.
Absolutely.
Farr is not a good dad.
She's covering for him.
As for the rest of it,
she's not lying.
She didn't know anything
about Suarez or any of it.
Dr. Lightman?
Yeah, she's clean.
As a whistle.

Five years of my life,
and for what?
Well, you thought he was just
looking after his kid, right?
So you did what you could.
And more.
Loyal to a fault.
When I say fault,
what I mean--
She gets it, Cal.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
You don't like me,
do you?
I didn't do
what I did for you.
No, you did it for him.
