I love you.
You're so sweet.
I've wanted you to meet
my mom for so long.
What made you
want to do it today�?
I just thought
we should get away.
Well,
you made my day.
I know things have been
a little bumpy with us lately.
Brett�?
I'm sorry.
What'd you say�?
What's going on�?
What are they doing�?
Brett�?
I know. Hang on.
Get down.
Get down�!
What the hell was that�?
Oh, my god, your shoulder.
You've been shot.
Who are those guys�?
What are you doing�?
We're way past
framing him now, sir.
So�?
- Change of plans.
- No more *** and grab�?
Guy wanted for killing
an assistant D.A.
runs off with his girl.
How's that make him look�?
Desperate.
Guilty as sin.
You know, desperate people,
capable of anything,
even ***.
***-suicide
my specialty.
You ever wonder
why they picked him�?
If I were you
I wouldn't ask.
I don't understand.
Who were those guys�?
- What did they want from us�?
- I don't know.
- Brett, we need to get you to a hospital.
- No.
No hospitals, no cops.
Hey.
- But those guys just tried to kill us.
- And we need to get as far away
from here as possible.
- Well, you're a cop. Call for backup.
- I can't do that.
- Why�?
- Because the last time
I was in the system,
I got snatched out of county jail
- and ended up
- What are you talking about�?
I can't tell you.
It won't make any sense.
- You are bleeding out.
- Rita, please�!
We're gonna find a store,
you're gonna get supplies
and you're gonna patch me up.
Please.
Okay,
stay calm.
You can do this, all right,
just go in there,
get what you need.
And I promise you,
I will explain everything.
Everything to you as soon
as I get you someplace safe.
Okay�?
- Hello.
- Hey, it's me.
- Hopper, I can't talk right now.
- Just listen. I'm being framed
for Garza's ***.
- What�?
- Two detectives,
Spivak and Choi,
are gonna try and flip you
against me,
all right�? They're gonna promise
to get internal affairs off your back.
Don't believe them.
All right, Andrea�? Please.
We're partners.
I'm sorry. I can't do this right now.
I'm heading into I.A.
- I'll call you later.
- Wait, wait, wait. Andrea Andrea�?
Andrea�?
Andrea�!
Excuse me, ma'am.
- Yes, officer�?
- Is everything all right�?
Oh oh, my Godness.
Right.
I'm an E.R. Nurse, and there was
A dog�?
So what'd you do with it�?
- Did you put it in your car�?
- No.
I didn't want to move him.
He's back up on the highway.
I'll call animal control. They normally
hand these types of matters.
- No, that's okay. I can do it.
- Get on the ground�!
Get down on the ground.
Come on.
I had it.
Five more seconds,
- and we would've been out of here.
- He was a county sheriff, Rita.
Do you know what he sees on these roads�?
And with all that blood on you,
- there was no way, he was gonna let you go.
- You were scared I was gonna tell him
- what really happened, is that it�?
- No. No. I'm just trying
to get you out of trouble.
Look, I don't I don't know
what's going on,
but if we are gonna get through
whatever is happening here,
- you are gonna have to trust me.
- This isn't about trust.
It's about keeping us alive.
- Where have you been�?
- I had to hide the the truck.
Once you patch me up,
we can get outta here.
And go where�?
I'm gonna ask you again.
Who were those men on the road,
and why aren't we calling
the cops�?
It's complicated.
Try me.
All right, short version.
I've been set up for ***.
An assistant D.A.
was killed last night,
and I think some cops
are trying to frame me for it.
Sit down.
Okay, we need to sterilize it.
This is gonna hurt.
More than getting shot�?
The bullet's still in there.
You need a surgeon.
- No, you're gonna have to do it yourself.
- Brett, I can't.
Yeah, you can.
You've seen it done.
Yeah, at a hospital.
But look where we are. I don't have
the tools to extract a bullet.
All right. Now you do.
Year in vice,
Year in the hate crime unit.
Last 2 years, narcotics
working a 3-man buy team�?
That's right.
Rough trade, narcotics.
I mean, with all the *** you gotta
deal with junkies, crack ***
it would make me sick.
I don't know. I've found
there's *** in every line of work.
Yeah, but the trick is
you can't let it get you dirty,
'cause that's what brings you into
our lovin'arms here in internal affairs.
You worried about
what I got in here�?
Why would I be�?
Because it's gonna cost you
your career.
We've been watching you
for weeks.
w hat�?
Your lucky day, Battle. Couple of guys
from robbery homicide wanna talk to you.
Spivak and Choi.
It's about Hopper.
Hey, it's definily not fun
being under the I.A. Microscope.
- We've all been there.
- Yeah, those guys think,
hey, I pulled all this crap
when I was on the streets, so
they must be doing it, too.
Wait a minute.
You gotta watch that Shelton
in particular. He's a real crusader.
Nutty bar�?
No.
Have to say right out front,
I think you guys are both wrong
about Hopper.
Well, we respect your loyalty,
but we got him cold.
Gun, prints.
Wait, you've got Hopper's prints
on the *** weapon�?
It's a done deal.
D.A.'S office is going
to miss Garza.
Guy never shied away
from the tough ones.
One to the head,
two the chest.
- Execution style.
- Cop style
just like they teach you
at the academy.
We want you to listen to something,
maybe shed some light on it for us.
Hopper, you should've
received a package today.
It's important.
Don't let anyone know you have it.
You'll be contacted soon.
Who is that�?
What package is she talking about�?
I don't know.
Think it has something to do
with Garza's ***�?
You know homicide always supersedes
internal investigations.
You cooperate with us here,
we'll make this whole Chad Shelton I.A.
thing go away.
When was the last time
you spoke to Hopper�?
Yesterday.
Okay here we go.
Hold on to something.
I'm sorry.
It's lodged deep in there.
It didn't hit a major artery.
I know there's a lot
you're not telling me.
And although I should be used to it
because I know that's your deal,
it just sucks at a time like this.
Could we not do this
right now, please�?
We need help, Brett.
- There's gotta be somebody that you trust.
- Yeah,
- you.
- What about Andrea�?
- She's not part of this�?
- I don't know.
Anybody's capable of anything.
Did you get it�?
Did you get it�?
Sorry. We're gonna have
to try it again.
You wanted to know who Andrea Battle
was talking to before she came in.
Let me guess.
Her *** little friend Slim.
No.
It's a cell phone registered
to a Rita Shelton.
I'm sure it's not your ex.
I want to believe everything
you're telling me, Brett,
but there's something
I don't understand.
If this Garza guy
was murdered last night
and this investigation
took place overnight,
how could you know about it�?
You were with me
the whole time.
Okay, this is gonna sound like
it's impossible.
But I need you to believe me.
These past three days,
I've woken up
and it's the same day.
It's the same time,
it's the same place,
it's the same damn
traffic report.
I am living today
over and over again.
- What are you talking about�?
- There's this guy
there's this guy
in a rock quarry,
and he knows everything
about you, me,
Jen and the kids.
And he wants me
to confess to killing Garza.
All right, and those guys
those guys on the road
they work for him,
and they caught me,
and and they stuck me
with this big-*** needle twice.
And and
and ever since
Andrea took that call not ten minutes
before you swiped her away from me.
So detective Battle talked
to your ex-wife. Big deal.
No, not my ex-wife.
My ex-wife's boyfriend.
I think you're in shock.
I think you've lost
- a lot of blood.
- I'm not in shock.
This is
really happening to me.
Okay�? I can prove it.
There's a truck accident.
Today.
Spilled baby diapers.
And and the papers,
all right�?
Check the papers.
The headlines
are all about Garza.
Oh, the Dodgers�!
The Dodgers.
The Dodgers win today.
Okay�?
It's the same game.
It's the same day.
So what you're saying is
that we've we've been
- at this motel before.
- Yes. No.
But you've been shot before.
No. But they've
they've come after me.
Have we had
this conversation before�?
- I don't I don't understand.
- I don't understand either
the day is the same,
all right�?
But different things
happen,
okay�? It depends.
Like
this lady at the coffee shop,
one day I save her,
next day
she gets hit by a bus
because I wasn't there.
You don't see�?
You don't see.
Yeah.
Hopper, where are you�?
Andrea
they came to you, didn't they�?
Spivak and Choi.
Just like I said they would�?
Look, Hopper, I want to help you.
But I can't
unless you tell me where you are.
You have to trust me.
You cut a deal with I.A.
to bring me in, yes or no�?
I'm not proud of it, okay�?
I'm sorry, Andrea.
I can't.
So he is with her.
You got a fix
on that phone�?
I've been thinking.
You said something about needles.
What if someone had given you
an hallucinogen�?
- So none of this is happening�?
- No,
no. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying
how could this have happened last night
if you were with me the whole time�?
It had to have happened
yesterday or
- a few days ago.
- It was yesterday.
Yesterday was today.
Yesterday is
today.
Have you been having headaches�?
Because maybe
you've hit your head.
Or maybe
Don't you think I've been through
this like, a million times,
looked for explanations�?
Maybe I need an M.R.I.
Maybe I need a shrink.
Maybe I stepped on
a damn time machine.
I don't know�!
Okay.
I don't understand
how this is happening to me.
I don't know who's doing it.
I don't know how to make it stop.
I don't know why.
And right now,
I don't care.
The only thing I care
about right now
is making sure that you're
What�?
What is it�?
You keep saying this is
about keeping me safe.
If you're saying you've lived
this day before,
what happens to me, Brett�?
Nothing.
Nothing.
We're fine.
We're together.
You're lying.
Those guys that ambushed us
on the road
you think
something happens to me.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Nothing is going to happen to you.
All we have to do is make sure
we don't get caught.
Great.
We'll be there in 20.
Local county sheriffs
are good for backup.
They'll meet us there,
secure the roads,
hang back till we say go.
I still think
we should've brought S.W.A.T.
you're doing the right thing,
you know�?
and the final score
is in, just moments ago,
the Dodgers capped an amazing 7-run
rally in the ninth inning
to beat the Giants.
Highlights coming up in sports.
We're also gonna take
a look at
I'm sorry
about your dress.
It's okay.
I could have sold that cop
back at the store.
I did try to save
a stray once.
He was hit on the highway
this poor, scruffy mutt, bleeding.
I was with Chad
on our way to vegas
for our honeymoon.
anyway,
I had him pull over.
I could
tell he was all broken inside.
Chad didn't want him in the car.
And he said we should just leave him,
let him die naturally.
So we did.
I've washed blood off
my hands before, but
but never yours.
Get in the bathroom.
She's inside.
How'd you find me�?
Give me some credit.
I'm a cop.
What's wrong with your shoulder�?
He was shot.
- Rita, you okay�?
Yeah, it's him
I'm worried about.
Did you come alone�?
Yeah, of course.
Look, I know the trouble
you're in, Hopper.
And I want to help.
But you have to be straight with me.
Tell me what happened
with Garza.
Nothing happened with Garza.
I don't know the guy.
You know me better
than that, Andrea.
Then that's what you tell'em
when you turn yourself in.
Forget about it.
I'm not going to jail.
I didn't kill Garza.
So what are you gonna do�?
Whatever it takes.
Okay, Hopper, just calm down.
All right�?
We can fix this.
Just don't do anything drastic.
She's got two more minutes to make
something happen, then we're going in.
Who are these guys�?
How did they get past
the checkpoint�?
I said no cars in or out
until we're clear.
Call your men and make sure
they secure the road.
Something's not right.
Get the vests.
What's wrong�?
They found us.
Hopper.
We're clear.
New plan.
Put the weapon down.
You guys make a run for the car.
I'll cover you.
- We can't leave you here.
- I've got back up. You don't.
- Andrea, I'm not gonna let you do that.
- Just shut up and listen.
They've got a gun with
your prints on it.
They played me some voice mail.
A woman talking about some package
they sent to you.
They think it has something
to do with Garza.
Hopper, you should've
received a package today.
It's important.
On three.
You ready�?
One
two
go�!
Hopper�!
Go.
You were gonna meet my mom today.
the Dodgers
It's gonna be okay.
Just gotta keep going.
It's gonna be all right.
Just gotta keep going.
It's gonna be a new day.
It's gonna be a new day.
a new day a new day
I just gotta keep going.
I just gotta keep going.
Oh, Brett.
Oh, my God.
Dr. Artlet, I.C.U.
Dr. Miller, 5-7-2-3.
Jen.
Brett, it's okay.
Where's Rita�?
Where's Rita�?
Is she okay�?
Yeah. She's just talking
to the doctors.
- Lie back.
- Okay.
- Take it easy.
- Okay.
Okay.
Hopper�!
Andrea got shot.
Slow down.
You lost a lot of blood
last night.
What happened to you�?
They're saying it's a bullet wound.
We got ambushed by these guys,
and Rita didn't tell you�?
She was there.
We
Don't worry. Your sister
and the kids are okay.
Jen, come on.
You gotta get outta here, all right�?
It's not safe.
It's not safe. Go.
- Relax. It's okay.
- Go.
You are all right, okay�?
You're all right.
Relax.
It's just a mild sedative.
We'd like you to sleep on it.
- No, no needles.
- It's just a sedative.
No. No�!
No, relax. It's okay.
- You are all right.
- This is impossible.
They never gave me the shot.
I never
they never caught us.
Detective Brett Hopper.
You're under arrest for the ***
of assistant D.A. Alberto garza.
No, no. You two, out.
Now.
Well, since you asked so nicely.
We'll have an officer
on the door.
Yeah, I'm sure you will.
I'll be back.
I told you two he wasn't
ready to be moved.
He seems fine to us.
We're lining up an ambulance
- to transport him.
- until you get one, he's under our care.
How can you treat one of your
own like he's some common criminal�?
- Our father was a cop.
- Ladies, please.
We're just trying to do our jobs.
Ms. Shelton, I understand you were with
detective Hopper last night. Is that correct�?
Yes, I was.
So you can provide him with
an alibi for the entire night�?
Absolutely.
So how did he get
that bullet wound�?
Yeah, I thought so. Let's get an E.T.A.
on that ambulance.
We should talk
to his partner, Battle.
you worried about
what's in here�?
Why would I be�?
'Cause it's gonna
cost you your career.
We've been watching you
for weeks.
Danny Yan.
The guys at vice call him "Slim."
Runs a gentlemen's club
over in chinatown.
You been doing a lot
of business with him.
He's a confidential informant.
He a drug dealer,
human garbage.
Who helps us bring down
bigger pieces of garbage.
Really�?
Where exactly are these heavy hitters�?
They're not on your list of recent arrests.
Not every tip leads to
a colombian cartel.
Well, tell me, how exactly
are you paying Mr. Yan
for these juicy little nuggets,
'cause there's no official list
of any C.I. Payouts to him
in the last couple of months�?
I haven't filed them yet.
I find it interesting
that before every meeting
with this confidential informant,
you make a withdrawal
from your personal account.
$1,000 here,
$2,000 there.
Tell me something,
you seen Eddie lately�?
What�?
What�?
Hopper's been shot.
He's at the hospital.
They're saying he killed Garza,
took a bullet in the process.
- You think Hopper
- No.
You�?
Anybody's capable of anything.
I need to know what happened to you.
We went to bed last night and
everything was fine. And then I wake up,
and you're soaking in a pool of blood
with a gaping hole in your shoulder.
I mean, my God, Brett,
it looked like somebody butchered you.
It's complicated.
Try me.
I thought I knew how
to fix this day, but I can't.
It's bigger than I thought.
I don't understand.
All you need to know is that
I am being framed for ***,
and I need your help.
You gotta trust me.
This isn't about trust.
This is life and death.
I almost lost you today.
Do you have any idea
how that feels�?
Do you believe me when
I say that I did not do this�?
Yes.
Well, help me.
Help me get outta here so
I can figure out who did.
I'm sorry, honey.
Maybe you could just whip up
some pasta for the kids tonight
or take them out.
Randall, don't get angry.
It's my brother. He's in bad shape.
They're saying that.
- Clear the way�!
- he can't even be moved.
Code blue.
- Why aren't you in there�?
- He was crashing.
Nurses kicked me out
when the alarms went off.
Son of a ***�!
How many men do we have�?
Three units on site,
four more on the way.
If his girlfriend's with him,
I'm bringing her in, too.
- I'll take the back.
- I'll meet security in the lobby.
We have units
on the front and rear.
No, I said every exit.
He does not leave this hospital.
You dropped this.
I gotta be better about that.
- You know this woman�?
- Not exactly.
I need your keys.
Up you go. Come on.
You can't run forever, Hopper.
I don't plan to.
Then why make it hard�?
Turn yourself in.
To you guys�?
For all I know, you planted that gun
in my closet.
Who said anything about
a gun in your closet�?
Come on. Let's go.
Go, go, go, go.
As soon as they find Choi,
they're gonna change frequencies,
but until then, we can listen in.
What is that�?
Well, let's hope Choi records
all of his case notes,
like a good little homicide detective.
Need to find this Damien,
see where he fits.
Next message tied to him
or Garza�?
Hopper, you should've received
a package today.
They played me some voice mail
A woman talking about some
package they sent to you.
They think it has something
to do with Garza.
I gotta go to my place.
What if we just drive
right now�?
What if we just run�?
We can't.
Won't solve anything.
You woke up in a pool
of blood this morning,
and you can't tell me how
and you can't tell me why.
I'm just I'm just trying to understand
what we're doing.
I gotta find out who killed Garza
and why they're framing me for it.
And the first step to finding
some of those answers
might be right there
in that mailbox.
What do you plan to do�?
I'm gonna stake my place out,
make sure that cop's alone,
then I'll figure something out.
So this is what it's like.
this is what what's like�?
A stakeout.
You've been on stakeouts
with me before.
What�? When�?
Koko's manchurian barbecue.
Koko's�? No.
That was our first date.
- That was a stakeout�?
- Wait, no. I
Wait.
Okay.
I had no choice.
We were both doing that
"are we more than friends" thing, and
and I I wanted to be,
but I knew that if
I canceled on you again,
then you'd that I'd lose you.
So
Yeah, you probably would have.
Right.
I can get the cop away
from the building.
- what'd you do�?
- You don't wanna know.
- You get the package�?
- No. The cops must have taken my mail.
- I'll get here earlier tomorrow.
- Tomorrow�?
What do you mean�?
- Hello.
- Rita, are you nuts�?
- You're aiding and abetting a fugitive.
- Who is it�?
- Chad.
- Rita. Rita�!
- What are you doing�?
- He's in a room full of cops
tracking your phone.
Come on. We gotta go.
Rita.
Rita�?
Rita.
Rita�!
Hey.
What's going on�?
Yeah, hey, man.
How's it going�?
Ah, you know,
same old, same old.
