Previously on "The beast"
This is ultra degree of difficulty.
- Conrad, I make this decision.
Ellis is the right cover.
What the hell is wrong with you?
The guy is dirty.
I told Conrad that you could handle this.
Barker's a part of something.
I'm talking about
a circle of agents who hire out as a team.
Nothing you need they can't do.
That's what you think.
Our lives depend on our ability to convince
someone that we are who we say we are.
I told you you guys are alike.
So how come, uh
nobody's gone under to see if I'm bent?
Don't ever forget again
who you work for, either.
Oh, yeah? And who's that?
Me.
What if he was lying?
Hey, Ray.
What if you're lying?
Now, you may feel like
you're drowning, but you're not.
Who can you trust?
You can trust your damn case file,
and you can trust me.
We all get made sometime.
Just we don't always survive it.
All right.
This is all I got, fellas.
My partner and I
Tuesday, we got off at midnight,
like normal.
I went home.
He went to his diner,
like normal.
This girl he likes works there, Tracy.
I guess Owens he finishes his eggs
and he's walking out to his car.
That's when Tracy said she heard
some yelling.
So she ran outside,
sees Owens fighting some other guy
sees Owens
getting hit over the head with something.
You need a minute?
- No.
His head starts to bleed.
Tracy screams.
That's when she gets shot at.
Whole window of the diner gets blown out.
Owens, he gets shoved into a car,
a white car.
That's all she knows.
Listen, my
my partner's been missing
for over a day now,
and
We'll find him.
- Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Guys, guys, I know you're pumped,
but we don't know what this is about yet.
Could have something to do with Owens'
personal life, the job, mistaken identity.
We just don't know.
So don't do anything stupid out there.
Don't go knocking too many heads.
Okay.
Let's move.
We're with you, man.
- Thanks, Mulaskey.
Delaney, where do you think you're going?
- Going back out.
When was the last time you slept?
You're in no shape to drive.
Give me your keys.
You! Over here.
Delaney, this is
Carlson, from the 23rd.
He rides with you.
How you doing, Delaney?
- I already got a partner.
Look, I'm not trying to take no one's place,
all right? I'm just trying to help out here.
Don't let him out of your sight.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Delaney.
You, wait here.
Apache you made bail.
Vicente
good to see you, man.
- Good to be seen.
It's been a long time.
Come on.
Navarro's waiting.
The Beast - 1x07 "Capone"
So, you and Owens partners long?
Hey, man, neither of us
had a choice here, okay?
Me, personally
see, I've been through a couple of partners.
First guy he quit because a kid died.
The second one he was just up in my business
too much, if you know what I mean.
Take me to Spoon's.
You know, if you want,
we can swing by your place
Second spoon diner.
Superior and Franklin.
Hey, my man.
Little Beau.
Look at you.
- What's up?
Se�or Navarro.
- Looking good, Apache.
It's looking like business is good.
Who's he?
- Capone.
So, they threw you back in
for boosting a car.
What can I say?
I just ain't worth a *** stealing cars.
Your brain go soft in Florida?
- Well, you know,
there was no A/C in those blocks.
Air like water.
I was sweating my ***
- Bet you made somebody
a pretty girlfriend, a shiny wet ***.
High or low? You pick.
I was only foolin', man.
- A little different now, huh?
Where's the money you owe me?
- I love this guy.
Calls us to bail him out and then has
the cojones to ask for his cash.
Relax, hombre.
$35,000.
- The economy's in a recession, man.
You bought milk lately?
- Shouldn't be any problem for you.
Your bail makes us even.
- I ain't got a lot of options, man.
I got an idea.
What?
Good.
Done?
- Pilsen, over by the canals.
Now let's talk about you.
- My favorite subject.
I've got some new ***.
It's good, but it's not great.
It needs a little something.
- No, no, no, no,
that's how I got busted
in the first place.
Your source was *** last time,
and you went down with it.
I can get you some ephedrine, man.
- Fentanyl's what sells.
You in or you out?
What's my take?
- 40%.
Gross or net?
I love this guy.
Net.
Get a supply here by the end of day.
Welcome back, Apache.
- It's good to be back.
Ladies there?
Flash your lights twice if you hear me.
Remind me why this is a good idea
you being the Apache.
Because that's the way we break this case.
We have a missing cop,
and word on the street is Navarro's
crew had something to do with it.
Why? Are you worried it's feeling good
to me being Apache again?
I'm worried it's feeling too good.
- Well, don't.
I can handle it.
So, now that you're under,
have you found anything?
There's a new guy in Navarro's crew.
His name is Capone, one of his lieutenants.
He wasn't there four years ago when I was.
He's got me wondering.
- I'll get what I can on him.
Good.
And what about Ellis?
We made sure the Commander
partnered Ellis with Delaney.
Delaney, who rode with Owens.
It was Owens who called the FBI
the night before he was grabbed.
He called to set a meeting with us.
Something he had to say
that he couldn't tell I.
A.
D.
Something big enough
to get him shanghaied.
He was abducted, not shanghaied;
two very different things.
Phone sheet says about a half-hour
before the abduction,
Delaney called Owens' cell.
It went straight to voicemail.
So Delaney was calling to, what,
say night-night to his partner?
Delaney told the task force
he was calling to borrow a drill.
He wanted Owens to bring it
to work the next day.
If Delaney knew Owens was gonna
talk to the FBI the next day,
he might have been calling
to ask him not to.
Could be.
- Or he could have called
to borrow a drill,
and he's really an honest cop.
From Navarro's stable.
Ugly, isn't she?
So, go ahead.
You want to take her for a spin?
No, no.
No.
So, you got the stuff I asked for?
This is all the Fentanyl
evidence had.
Here.
- It better be good.
It is.
Barker, I gotta say this.
Last time you were Apache,
it took a long time to get Barker back.
Conrad, stop with the mother-hen routine.
Apache's just another cover.
Oh, uh, one other thing.
It may be nothing.
But you should check out
the Canals on Pilsen.
I heard Navarro mention it on the phone.
See ya.
Nothing new?
- Nah.
I mean,
who did this partner of yours
*** off so bad, anyway?
His name is Owens.
What makes you think I'd know?
Come on, man.
Owens is your partner.
You know everything about him.
I mean
All right.
I.
A.
D.
must have been all over your ***.
Not that they know squat, right?
They went after me for 10 hours
just 'cause I called Owens
the night before.
Why?
Working on my deck.
Wanted to borrow some tools.
Have to sell my house, you know?
Can't afford it anymore, you know?
I do, man.
You got family?
- Yeah, wife and a daughter.
You want to give them a good life, huh?
Well, see, the I.
A.
D.
's the same
where I'm from.
They don't have a clue what it's like
in the real world, right?
A good guy like Owens,
maybe he tries to feather his nest,
and they act like he's the criminal.
- Hey, don't do that, all right?
You don't know Owens.
He's a good guy.
He's honest.
He's proud of the badge.
He's the best thing around, okay?
He's better than you, better than me.
Delaney.
Anonymous tip led us
to the canals off Pilsen.
Oh, no.
Find a body?
- Not exactly.
The rest of Owens?
Torso's in a bag about 100 feet down.
All we found so far.
Give me my keys.
Give me my *** keys!
Hey, where are you going, man?
Are you receiving audio?
- Of course we are.
Get out of the car now.
Come on! Get out!
You're killing me, man.
- The same, right?
As requested.
It's good stuff, so they tell me.
So, what are we playing, boys?
- Draw poker.
Man's game.
Looks good, Apache.
Yeah, well, that doesn't.
Looks like I got some business to do now.
Pull up a chair.
- Are you frontin' me?
No, and you know my interest rates.
Then I ain't playing.
So I'm riding with you?
Yeah, you need to see
the new players out there.
Let's do it.
That's got to hurt.
- Yeah, and it doesn't work.
Smellin' good.
- Yeah.
Hit that, brother.
Hey, wait.
Nice bracelet.
That's stylin', man.
Yeah, it's pretty cool, isn't it?
It's yours.
What?
- Yeah, take it.
Take it, man.
Thanks, brother.
Yeah.
Check this out.
See that guy?
I heard they found his head
over by the expressway.
Wonder if he's still got that
***-eating grin on his face.
Mosca, what's up?
- Who's this?
He's cool.
He's with me.
And?
Later.
Later on.
You know what we need?
Delaney
- You were supposed to talk to Owens.
Talk him out of it,
not to give him up to Navarro.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
- Owens was a problem.
Talking to him wouldn't have
made a bit of difference,
would have only made him more
sure he was doing right
crying to the FBI.
You get me?
I said, you get me?
Yeah, I got you, Mulaskey.
Now, I'm not trying
to threaten you or anything.
No? That's sure what it sounds like.
I'm just telling you
that's how it is.
That's how it'll be
if you're not more careful.
You don't keep your mouth shut
same thing could happen to you.
Capone, coming your way.
So, "Apache", huh?
- Yeah.
That is quite a name.
- So is "Savannah".
Is that where you're from?
- Nope.
No?
- I grew up in New Mexico
in a place called Chimay.
- El Santuario de Chimay?
The place where
miracles happen.
Oh, nobody's ever known that.
I ain't nobody, sweetie.
- Ohh!
Hey, Apache, let me see your knife, yeah?
Don't be cutting yourself with that baby.
Apache in the house.
Apache in the house!
Apache in the house, baby.
You want to know why they
call him the Apache?
I'm sure it was just a rumor,
but the story goes like this.
See, someone was late with a delivery.
- No.
Almost tipped off the Feds.
When they got
there late, I mean, it was a firestorm.
All right, come on, dude, let go of me.
Dude?
- Hey, Capone.
Yeah, so Apache here,
he takes this knife.
And he came up real close to
the *** bag's skull.
Right where the skin meets the hair.
And he said: "use your head".
And he took the knife
and began to peel the hair off his head.
- Please don't.
Are you gonna scalp me now?
Maybe.
You're all right, Apache.
- You're not so bad yourself, Capone.
Come here.
Come on, Stella.
- Elena.
Whatever.
It's okay.
Don't worry.
- Okay, let's just do this.
Good morning.
No, no, no, no, no.
No coffee.
You know.
A grape fruit juice, please.
So what do you have to tell me
so damn early?
No.
Capone is a D.
E.
A.
agent?
Fred Lopez, from Bloomington, Minnesota.
Almost your age.
Started at Quantico
pluck early for undercover.
Went into Navarro's crew
a few months after you were "arrested".
And he's been under four years?
Wife divorced him last year,
missed his dad's funeral.
Sounds about right for the gig.
You, uh
you ever think about
life after the job, uh?
No.
You know, I knew this was a bad idea.
You as Apache
- Look, I'm fine!
I'm sure you are.
What is the other option, Conrad?
We make contact with Fred Lopez
- No!
Let him close this.
- No!
All right, all right.
- Ellis can't do this alone.
Thanks, darling.
So
Ellis is working on getting
a confession out of Delaney
about who in the Navarro crew
killed Owens.
Owens?
Owens was tortured.
for hours before he died, right?
Burnt with cigarettes, a blow torch
They found bits of metal filings
under his nails.
Must have put up quite a fight, uh?
Must have.
Where's your motorcycle?
Just buy one already.
- I don't want one.
Do not call Fred Lopez's handler.
There's something about this guy
You leave it be.
Leave it be.
I'm not trying
to threaten you or anything.
No? That's sure what it sounds like.
That's how it is.
That's how it'll be
Now, that's Sargeant Mulaskey.
Patrols Navarro's territory.
It's not Delaney, it's Mulaskey
who's got in with Navarro.
- Well done.
So, uh, is that all you got for me?
You're all right?
I'm fine.
- You look like hell.
You don't keep your mouth shut
same thing could happen to you.
- Wait, wait.
Some bad idea.
If someone takes a shot at Delaney
"Someone" meaning us.
- Yeah.
Then Mulaskey's gonna think that
the Navarro crew don't him anymore.
Okay.
And Delaney?
Shake the cage,
something's gonna fall loose.
So, uh
where would your new partner be,
Officer Ellis?
Parked at the corner of his local bar.
Which bar?
Hey, you know who keeps calling me?
Who?
Tracy.
The chick from the dinner?
- Yeah.
The one that Owens liked.
Said Owens finally asked her out.
She keeps calling me crying, you know.
Last time she called I hang up on her.
I thought we were going for a drink.
We will.
Gotta fix a leak first.
What are we? Roofers?
What are you talking about?
There's the leak?
I felt so bad, you know, but
I couldn't hear it.
Couldn't listen to her crying any more.
Hey, it's not your fault.
I didn't have to hang up on her, though.
Like my dad used to say
"You lay down with dogs"
We must have had the same old man.
�Been laying with dogs, Delaney?
Put on a sight.
What do you know about them?
- The guy standing is CPD.
Turned into a nervous nelly over
the dead cop.
So he knows too much.
Who sent you?
Mulaskey.
�Mulaskey?
You're too much, Apache.
- Come over here.
You know that oath that we take
when we graduate from the academy?
You know the one
We promise to uphold the law.
- To the best of our ability.
Yeah.
Don't say nothing about honor.
See, that's up to us man.
What lines we cross.
So I will take down the friend first.
Ready?
And
Hey, man.
This way, this way!
This way, this way.
Damn it!
Let's get out of here.
Man, oh, man.
I'll call for backup.
No, don't.
What?
- They're after me.
Who's after you, man?
What's going on, man?
It's
- I nearly just took a bullet for you.
What's going on?
- What's going on is I screwed up.
It started small, you know?
We made this bust.
We found a bunch of cash
stuffed in the back of this sofa.
Mulaskey tells me, "go on, take it".
And so I do.
But Owens, he's busy.
He's taking
these kids over to family service, right?
So what, what? Owens didn't know
you're on the take?
Owens was such a good guy.
He never got it.
But every time we back up Mulaskey,
we're making a bust for Navarro.
Navarro kept Mulaskey
and me on his payroll.
I got a wife, I got a kid,
I have this damn house I can't afford.
I was just trying to get by.
And Owens
keeps talking to me about his money problems,
how he hates living with his brother.
One night I tell him everything.
Even tell him I got
some money saved for him, right?
But instead of wanting in,
he wants to go to I.
A.
D.
No.
No, man.
He wanted to go to the FBI.
How do you know that?
Ellis Dove.
FBI.
You wanna tell me who you really are?
You're not gonna shoot me.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah.
It ain't something
a good DEA agent would do.
What it's been? About four years now
you've been under, right?
How would you know that?
Charles Barker, FBI.
How are you doing?
So that's how things
work around here, uh?
Look,
we knew Owens called the Bureau
just before he died
but we didn't know what he was gonna say.
Mulaskey was supposed to go down
to the dinner and try and talk him out of it.
Now Mulaskey is trying to kill you, man.
He almost did.
So, what happens to me?
What do I do?
Plead out.
Testify.
Relocate.
But you'll still be with your family.
What are your choices, man?
Man, I'm glad you're here.
I knew that cop dying would be like
taking a stick to a hornets' nest.
Yeah.
And to Navarro's crew
chopping up a kid cop is no big thing.
Mulaskey
- Here you go.
Thanks.
It was Mulaskey that called
Navarro about Owens.
Navarro sent Vicente to do the job.
The way I hear it, Vicente was just
supposed to shoot the kid.
Instead, he gets the brilliant idea
to kidnap him and torture him
to find out what he knew.
I didn't know about any of it till after.
That's what I figured, because if
I mean, if you knew,
you would have given us the heads up.
Right.
That kid, Owens, how old was he?
God, the way this people think.
Killing Delaney is just
the cost of doing business.
And Owens just the tip of the iceberg.
Navarro's a franchise, man.
He's invested in cops
like Delaney and Mulaskey.
Twelve detectives, two judges,
a prosecutor, half IAD,
he's even got a 911 operator.
That's why I stayed under.
The case just kept snowballing.
Now it's ending.
He's my partner.
Didn't I just try to kill you?
Yeah,
Nice to meet you, too.
Capone.
DEA.
Tells they're a little trigger happy, no?
Sorry about that.
- Yes.
I'm thinking it's about time
for a little chat, boys.
And Delaney is willing
to go on record about
the CPD taking cake bags from Navarro.
Conrad's with him now.
Your operation
how does it go from here?
All right.
All right, I'll tell you.
It goes down like this
When Delaney doesn't show, Mulaskey
will move to 'cover my ***' mode.
And he'll order a raid on Navarro.
Yeah, and four years of my work
will go straight down the tubes
in the twenty or so minutes
the raid takes.
My plan was to take everyone down
about 8 days from now, at the docks.
A new shipment's coming in
and Mulaskey will be there.
But now
Now what?
Now we take Mulaskey to the station.
The judge, the prosecutor, everyone.
We take everyone down
and we do it all on public.
Sends a better message that way.
You're right.
I'll handle it.
What do you mean you'll handle it?
I gotta look good here, remember?
Guys, professional courtesy.
Four years! This is my life.
All right.
Done.
Thanks, man.
Freeze! Police! Down on the ground!
You're never ready
even when you see the end coming.
May sound weird,
but I'm gonna miss these guys.
Not weird at all.
You get inside their lives,
they get inside yours.
Sick part is you got four years
invested in bring these guys down
when all Vicente needs is a good lawyer.
And he skates.
We gotta have some insurance,
some kind of hard evidence
to make sure Owens ***
sticks to Vicente
and to Navarro for ordering the hit.
We make the case against Vicente,
he'll give up Navarro.
We still gotta make a case.
Come on, these guys they're your guys,
there's gotta be something.
I don't know,
what the forensics come up with?
Next to nothing.
Metal filings underneath Owen's nails.
Navarro's outfit runs a chop shop.
Worth a look.
Let's do it.
So Owens was tortured.
One would think
they wouldn't do it out in the open.
I don't know about this place, man.
This is Vicente's thing.
Oh, man, that smell!
Jesus!
Well, hello.
Looks like a little spontaneous dental work.
Bingo!
Let's hope that's
the brand Vicente smokes.
Yeah, I think so.
Well, I'll get a forensic team in here.
Mulaskey.
What am I, the only agent
without a new ride?
Mulaskey?
- Yeah.
Did the raid go down on Navarro?
Yeah.
Owen took care of that.
And the rest of them?
Detectives, judges, prosecutors.
Didn't happen.
What was the plan exactly?
Well, that to happen.
Where's Barker?
With Capone.
C.
S.
U.
is having a fill day
with that chop shop.
Heard a lot of problems got solved there.
So I hear.
To Capone.
To Capone.
May he rest in peace.
So, what are you gonna do?
Are you gonna stay in Illinois?
I haven't though that part ahead.
It will be weird to be Fred Lopez again.
It will be nice
to see my daughter, though.
If my ex will let me.
So
that
in that chop shop,
you had you had you said you'd never
been in that back room before, right?
No, never.
Right, I forgot.
You told me that,
I'm stupid.
Why are you asking?
How did you know
where the matchbook was?
I asked you a question.
I wish I could give you answer.
You killed Owens.
I should just shot him at the dinner,
that was my mistake.
Yeah, that was your mistake.
I had to find out how much he knew,
how much he'd already told the FBI.
So you grabbed him, you burnt him
and pulled his teeth out with pliers.
I was trying to roll out this investigation!
I couldn't let some rookie cop
screw everything up!
I had two weeks to go!
Two weeks?
***.
Yesterday it was eight days.
Tomorrow it will be a month.
You were never gonna roll this thing up
because you have become Capone.
No, man.
You know how
you introduced yourself to Ellis?
Capone, you said, not Lopez.
You didn't even realize.
You killed Owens so you
could keep on being Capone.
You were willing to kill Delaney,
you were willing to kill Ellis.
I was with the Apache,
I was playing the part.
An agent knows how to miss.
I am an agent!
A good one.
Maybe Fred Lopez was.
But you are not.
You tell me how I'm supposed
to go from all this
to stand in a barbecue saying "hey,
neighbor it's time to prune your trees".
I don't know how.
You tell me, man.
Go ahead.
I got nothing to lose either.
I killed Mulaskey this morning.
It was so easy.
One shot.
And what's one more, right?
Right.
I want you to take your gun.
No.
Take out your gun!
You want me to kill you?
Yes.
One shot.
And let you off the hook?
Please.
I can't do it, man.
You can live through this
if you just get to tomorrow.
How?
You tell me how.
See?
There is no answer.
Take out your gun!
Thank you.
Could have killed you.
What happened?
I thought he was one of us.
Don't worry.
It will go down as justified.
No joke, he was about to shoot you.
No, he wasn't going to shoot me.
What did you say?
You did him a favor.
He wanted to die.
Right before
you walked in, he asked me to kill him.
You could have stopped me and you didn't?
Why did you let me take the shot?
- Because it needed to be done.
Why didn't you do it yourself then?
Just call it in.
Yeah, is Savannah available?
No?
No, no, no, no.
That's ok.
Nobody else.
Thank you.
