(SKATEBOARD ROLLING) (SIRENS WAILING) (HIP HOP MUSIC) DEAN: Look, I'm not talking like a full makeover, okay? Just buzz that little mop top and you let your stubble come in, the ladies'll love it. ERIC: I have a wife, remember? DEAN: Suit yourself. Where was I? Oh yeah, so I'm at this bougie place and I want to impress my date so I order the pan-seared eel or some shit. And (LAUGHS) I knew I shoulda ordered the burger, you know, tried and true, shoulda ordered the burger. But I didn't Eric, and let me tell you, I ate all of that nasty ass fucking eel and it was not a good choice on my part. And you know what the moral of the story it? ERIC: Just get the burger? DEAN: Dude, shut the fuck up, she thought it was sophisticated. It worked. So you get that eel and you choke it down. Ooh, tacos! Little carne asada never hurt nobody. ERIC: Are we the only ones here? Where's the cops? DEAN: Eh, we'll be fine. (EXCITING MUSIC) They stabbed it into my head. Am I gonna die? Just a few stitches, don't you worry buddy. Not bad at all. It actually doesn't hurt that much. I like your haircut man. Whoa whoa, wait, hey. You give us a ride? Just down the road, real quick. Oh you fellas want a ride down the road real quick? What do we look like, fucking Uber? Get the fuck outta here. Hey, come on man. Don't be a dick. Did you just touch me? (LAUGHING) He touched me again! This guy. (SHOUTING) Hey, is he a surgeon? (PUNCHING) You don't touch other people. Now you can ride in the ambulance. Looking good, buddy. Be right back. What, where you going? Wow. Yeah! Who the fuck are these people? Who wants to ride in an ambulance, huh? Come on! (FUNKY MUSIC) (SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) (BEEPING) Eric. What are you doing? I, uh, had to pick up a shift. That's two graveyards this week. (SIGHS) I know, I know. The kids never see you, my maternity's up in two weeks, you can't keep doing this. Look, it's money, Val. What do you want me to do? Say no for once. ERIC: It's not that simple. All of these extra hours don't help. I'll talk to Dean, I'll see what he says. Okay? I wish you had just taken the position my brother offered you. I'm trying Val, I'm trying. - (BABY CRYING) - Shit. Just go. I'll check in later. Love you. I'm coming sweetie, what's the matter? (OPERA MUSIC) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (CLAPS) (WHISTLES) Hey. It's me. Yeah, come on. Come on come on come on come on. What are you doing? No no no. Don't unzip it here, you dumbshit. We have to get to the drop point. It's just itchy. Yeah whatever, just get in please. (GARBLED SPEAKING ON POLICE RADIO) Just go. What, I'm your chauffeur now? Buckle up for safety. (OPERA MUSIC) Hard part's over. You should relax. Think about what you're gonna do with all that money. - Huh? - Huh. Should be quite a tidy little sum. You should travel. Go to New York. Santiago, Chile. There's this amazing theater festival in Reykjavik. What are you talking about? That's right. You're more of a weed and video games guy, right? No, hashish and video games. Shit. What is it? We, my friend, are being followed. DEAN: My buddy's an RN at the hospital. I guess they had to leave a couple shards of the beer bottle in that guy's skull. I mean, (LAUGHS) can you imagine? We're the three MCs here to rock the beat You a rap donna ron Sagittariusly We got rhymes alive We got rhymes galore It's time to come alive y'all ERIC: Think we can get through the night without punching anyone else? DEAN: Hey, that wasn't our fault man. A, there shoulda been police there to begin with. B, we did what we had to do. I mean those pricks had it coming. Hey, did you put me on the schedule tonight? Yeah, but I'll do it later. 'Cause paycheck was a little light last month. I think you forgot a few shifts. You sure? Uh huh. Hey so Bravo's gonna need a new timing belt. Oh shit. Is she good to go for tonight? Maybe. (WHIPS) Pushing it though. Cool. Watch this. Oh! You know, I mean, I can't keep track of everybody's paycheck, you know what I mean? - Right. - It's not like - I have an assistant. - Uh huh, right. Can't afford it, you know? I would love to have this place with like five assistants but while we're at it why don't we just get a hot tub in here? Whoa, that's an excellent idea. I mean nothing too fancy, just like a basic four seater. (BEEPS) MAN: All units, structure fire at La Brea, repeat. Should we take that? No, it's too far. You know what I mean? In a perfect world we'd have like five assistants, you know? If there's a minute tonight there's one thing I wanted to talk about. Promotion? Yeah actually. If it's on the table. - (BEEPS) - Let me think about it. ANNOUNCER: All available units be sent out to San Pedro. Is that us? - Single vehicle crash... - That's ours, that's us! ANNOUNCER: Injuries reported. Brie, you got Bravo tonight. Okay, got it. We got rhymes alive, we got rhymes galore Reuben, get the fuck off your phone Come alive y'all I'm cleaning, not on the phone. (EXCITING MUSIC) Unit nine responding. Repeat, unit nine responding. MAN: Copy unit nine, go for it. Let's rock and roll. (HIP HOP MUSIC) (SIRENS WAILING) Dollar dollar bill y'all Kinda move like a blur If you're feeling distracted I do concur more pace Alright, you win. I thought about it and congrats. You're our new lead EMT. Wow, cool. Yeah, that is cool. But what does that mean? What does it mean? I mean what does that title come with? Pride. Fucking honor. Maybe a little more responsibility. Why, was there something else you were looking for? A raise would be nice. Ooh, well you know where the company's at. And in this economy, oof. And don't say the economy's fine 'cause that's just liberal media bullshit. Thing is, Sam's still sick. You know this. We still haven't dug outta that. With the hours that we work, I just never get to spend time with the family anymore. It's not fair to them. You'll be fine. How old is Darla now anyway? - Nora. - Nora? You're her godfather! She's four months old. Right, right, I knew that, whatever. Here's the thing, listen. I was married once, I know how old that shit gets. And I'll be honest, I wasn't good at it. I was a horrible husband. I would have been an even worse dad. But out here, I'm a hero. You and me, we save lives dude. And that's what it's about, right? You're missing my point, man. So you're all about the paycheck. - No, it's not. - Prove it. I mean tell me why you're doing this. You know I love this job. I don't know. Do I know that? Prove it to me. Tell me why you took this job. - Well... - Turn, turn left! Turn, right here, turn and get your head back in the fucking game. Alright buddy, look sharp. I got it. Oh look out now. Bullshit elite is on the case. Ef the fuck off, Max. Took you ladies long enough. Well I had to let your mom cum too. I'm a fucking gentleman. CHIEF: Okay fellas, focus, come on, get in there, do your job. - Sorry Chief, what do we got? - Okay the driver should be okay, we'll wait for another ambulance for him. Passenger's walking towards the light, he's your priority. Oh fuck. (GROANING) Alright, let's get that stretcher. One, two, three. Yo Chief, can we get an assist? This guy's not gonna make it to the ER. Max, help 'em out. - No B-teamer. - Chief. Come on, gimme someone good! You're gonna kill this guy! Chief, I'm finishing a double. CHIEF: This is how you end the double. Give 'em a hand. Jesus, look at this death trap. How are you still in business, man? DEAN: How do you find your dick? (SIREN WAILING) I mean, I'm a loss right now. I mean it's just not working out. I told you, I told you a million times, don't get so close to the car man. This is not the time to play the blame game, alright? You call him, I'm not doing it. No way, I'm not calling his ass. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) MAX: Dude, is this thing street legal? (BEEPING) DEAN: Stop talking shit about my lift, alright? Danger One has never let me down. - Danger One. - Yeah, it's her code name. I mean it's a lot better than calling 'em jalopy piece of shit one and two, right? You haven't changed a bit man. (LAUGHS) Hey, whoa, whoa, he's bleeding. Inside, right, internal? No no no, like he's bleeding heavily. Oh, alright, let's cut his clothes off. Yeah. - Alright man, fluids. - Yeah, got it. - Let's get an IV going. - What's going on back there? MAX: Look man, I'm not trying to get on your case. It's just you don't even have the right gear in here. DEAN: Jacket's a bitch. MAX: This would never fly on an LAFD rig. Where are we? - Dean? - Holy shit. - What? - How bad is it? We got a puncture wound just below the ribs. Holy shit. What the fuck? Holy shit. (BEEPING) He's in V fib! 80 over 40, blood pressure dropping quick. Asystole, pushing chest compressions. Alright, here we go. Shit. MAX: Pull over, come on, right here. - Alright, hold on, hold on. - Pull over. (FLATLINING) Goddamnit. Come on. Son of a bitch. Alrighty, thanks. ER called it, it's a wrap. (BEEPS) (TENSE MUSIC) Ooh, he is pissed. I mean I told you, I mean, I told you. I'm not, I'm not doing this with you right now. Mm hmm. Oh shit, here we go. Somebody wanna tell me that's not the mule's ride? Somebody wanna tell me I'm just seeing shit? We tailed 'em from the airport, eastbound on the 10, low profile, it was textbook. But they musta made us 'cause they took an exit and just floored it. By the time we caught up, they were already wrecked. Either of 'em make it? The ambulance just picked up the passenger. The driver seems okay, they're patching him up on the sidewalk. It's Akkerman's main guy, Craddock. Really? Uh, sir? We should probably call this off, right? Absolutely not. We've been tracking this operation for months. If Craddock's here, this is a big shipment. It's either in the car or still on the passenger. University Hospital's the closest. Well then get over there. Call me if he wakes up. Call me if he doesn't wake up. Call me if he dies, just call me. I'm gonna check this car. (GARBLED SPEAKING ON POLICE RADIO) (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) DEAN: God, it's all hundreds. Should you be touching that? It's okay, I got gloves on. Not what I meant. (SNIFFS) Makes you wonder, don't it? Who this guy was? No. Why they're bagged up like this. And how much is in there. ERIC: Just let the police count it. I mean you're not even like a little bit curious? Gotta be over 100K, man. You know I could use 100,000. Buy a fucking toothbrush? Shit, more than that man. Look, we didn't see it, okay? Just put it back. But we did see it, Eric. We had to cut his coat off. Thank you. It's not like we went through his wallet. What? Fuck me. What, what is it? Homeboy somehow jammed a million dollars here. Hey, we're almost there. Just let the hospital deal with it. Let's just imagine, for a moment. Let's say we don't turn it in. And we just keep it. I'm not hearing this. I'm not hearing this. MAN: Unit nine, requesting an ETA. One minute. You report that stuff the moment you walk through the door. (SIREN WAILING) (GARBLED SPEAKING ON POLICE RADIO) - How's he doing? - Don't know yet. He come to yet? No, not yet. (SHOUTING) Sir, sir, you've been in a car accident. MEDIC: Sir, lay down. Where is he, where is he? Your friend, he's been taken to the hospital. We will take you there as soon as we can. MEDIC: Lie down sir, please. I'm gonna go see what's going on, I'll be right back. MEDIC: Don't worry, I got this. Immigration and customs. We didn't step into one of your cases, did we? I'm not sure yet. Um, Officer Wilson, do you mind if I spoke to the driver real quick? Sure. He's all banged up but you can talk to him if you want. Hey! What? Oh, what the fuck? - Where did he go? - I thought he was just laying there, I didn't know! I know he was just here. What he jumped up, a magician or something? - Have you been drinking? - He's got to be here - somewhere, I'm not drinking! - Because I can smell it! (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) We'll finish the sign-off Eric, you sit tight. Look at this fucking guy. Busted. I was just looking at it. Oh yeah, no no no, I know it's tempting, right? So what happened in there? What'd they say? Oh, they said that we could keep it. So you guys didn't report anything? I don't remember us all agreeing to report it. I don't remember us agreeing to keep it. This is crazy. - What are you guys talking... - Hey, listen, listen, listen, listen. Split three ways it's over $300,000 each. Leaving that on the table without at least talking about it first, that's crazy. Mm hmm. Listen to me. No one goes around with money hidden on 'em like that unless they're smuggling it. And anyone who's doing that isn't, they're doing something that aint on the up and up, right? - Exactly. - Right. - You're making my point. - I know. ERIC: Is what you're saying supposed to make me feel any better? - Wait, hear me out. - 'Cause it's not. Hear me out! Who does this money belong to? - Not him. - Probably a drug cartel. Maybe, probably, probably. But are they gonna go to the cops and tell them that someone jacked their drug money? Fuck no. This shit is free cash. What about the driver? - The old man? - Huh, yeah. He got knocked out. Yeah. And what, like he's gonna wake up in the hospital and be like oh shit, where's my money that my dead friend was smuggling? I better go report it to the police and incriminate myself. Anyone that was involved in this is gonna cut their losses and walk away, man. They're gonna assume that the police, they seized it. Yes. - What about the cops then? - Dude, if they knew about it they'd have been up our ass the second we pulled this guy out of the car. Fuck this, I'm turning it in. No! You're not listening. Max, buddy, hey, let go. Eric. We're not gonna let you do it. Max and I, we got this handled. Right Max? Yeah. We split it three ways and we don't tell anybody. That's your plan? Fine, what would you do? I don't want any part of this. This is all you. Really? 'Cause if I get caught, you're out of a job. Did you think about that? And if I don't take this money you're out of a job. Man I don't know how long I'm gonna keep Turbo Elite afloat, you know? So like I said, if you've got a better plan, let's hear it. Alright. We finish our shifts tonight. Like nothing happened. And then tomorrow we come straight back to work. And then we split the money. Wait a couple days. No, months. Make sure nothing's fishy. No big deposits, no big purchases. You know what, he's right, we wait. We make sure that no one is actually looking for the money. (PHONE CHIMES) Max? My ride's here to take me to the station. Okay, are you cool with this? - Yeah, I guess so. - Okay. (GARBLED SPEAKING ON RADIO) One thing before I leave. Dean, you know I was serving in Iraq. Yeah. Eric, did you know that I served in Iraq? No. Ramadi, Fallujah. Operation Phantom Fury. That's where it got easy. Mm hmm. What got easy? Killing. So, if you two dinks are thinking about fucking me over, I'd think again. (LAUGHING) Oh man, you should see your faces! - Ha. - Beautiful, beautiful. Alright buddy. MAX: Alright. Goddamnit. (BEEPING) Oh great, perfect timing. I gotta get outta here. Can I have the keys? - This your car? - Yeah. I can't give you the keys without taking a receipt... Sure guy but just give me the keys. I can't give you the keys. Ticket? Okay, I'll do that afterwards so gimme the keys. Do you have a ticket? Okay, I think it's in the car. I can't without a ticket, just... Give it to me, I'll get the ticket, it's in the car. No, I mean I need a ticket in order... Just hand me the keys, can I do it on the way out? But I can't give you the key without a ticket. Yeah you can, just give me the keys. No I need a ticket. I know, I know, just give me the keys. I need a... (PUNCHES) (CHOKING) Fuck, sorry. May I have the keys? Thanks. You alright? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (HUMMING) DEAN: There's only two of these keys. One for me and one for you. No, I'm good. You know that old saying don't look a gift horse in the mouth? Yeah. Basically it means when someone gives you a nice gift, you don't act like a little bitch. Okay. I don't know if it was god or some karma shit but someone gave us a really nice gift tonight and you're acting like a little bitch. First of all, nobody gave us that money. We, no, you took it. I mean you always play it safe Eric but tonight that is going to change. My pop was an old school fireman. My brothers, my uncles. That's all I wanted to be. You know? Then I got hurt. So I had to hang it up. Stop me if you've heard this story before. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Okay, stop. Anyway, I knew I could build a company like this. I knew it would be a huge risk but I also knew that I had the training and I had the balls so I jumped in feet first, savings, pension, boom, gone, scrawled out some checks, and Turbo Elite Ambulance Company was born. Clearly it's paid off. You ever ask yourself why this place is such a dump? (SIGHS) The dickheads down at city hall. I spent most of my money just trying to get the shit up to code. I had nothing left to finish rehabbing it. Ambulances I bought, these two pieces of shit Fords that I bought out in Corona from some guy with no fucking nose, you know, tall ass cowboy douche bag, big white teeth, no fucking nose. If I didn't have a nose I'd stay in my house, I'd never come out. Fucking wear a mask or something, you know what I mean? This guy's out there loud and proud selling used trucks and ambulances, goddamn hole in his fucking face! Dean. They owed me and they screwed me and the way I see it, it's all coming back around. Next ambulance I buy is gonna be a fucking brand new Chevy 3500 turbo diesel and I'm gonna buy it from a real fucking automobile salesman, you know? The kind with too much product in his hair and a big fucking awesome suit. You know? (SNAPS) Eh, that guy! With this money, you and me, we're gonna make this company twice the company that I had envisioned the first time. Me and my best friend Eric. No longer the mentor and the student but business partners. (OPERA MUSIC) SILAS: Thank god Craddock, you're okay I think. But the money? Let me guess, you've lost it. Not exactly, it's still on Rami, my guy. I'm en route to the hospital now as we speak. SILAS: And then what? You think they'll have it waiting for you at the lost and found? This is completely unacceptable. Silas, trust me, I have it under control. SILAS: I'll be waiting. Don't disappoint me JJ. We talked to the nurses, the head surgeon, even played back the security cam footage for us. Nothing. If somebody boosted that money it happened before they wheeled the dead guy through these doors. What about the driver? Before he bailed did you see if he had maybe a bag on him or something? You see that? Plastic lining. I don't think we're looking for a bag. You guys. You wanna see another dead body? No. I got a good one in one. Man's missing his testicles. So that's it? We're just gonna give up on the score? I didn't say that. So then what's the plan? First responders. Let's check the paperwork. (FUNKY MUSIC) (SIRENS WAILING) ERIC: 10-4, unit six, on our way, over. Here, you can just breathe through this normally. Hey. I know I, uh, came on a little strong before. You know, this company's all I got, man. You don't gotta invest in me if you don't wanna, okay? Look. I just want tonight to be over. I wanna go home to my family and that's it. - Okay? - Okay. How are you feeling? Is she gonna be okay? She's gonna be just fine. WOMAN: Thank you. Honey, you scared me. You just saved that family. WOMAN: Dad's on his way home. Now save your own. WOMAN: Let's get you in bed, okay? That's lame even for you, Dean. (LAUGHING) (MELLOW ROCK MUSIC) MAX: With this thing I got going baby we could go anywhere. We could go to Alaska. No, try again. Someplace warmer and sunnier. How about Cancun? Come on, we're not on spring break. Max. (CLEARS THROATS) How you doing? - Agent Beckwith. - ICE. Sorry to interrupt your game, just a couple of questions. Listen, that nasty accident over on San Pedro. You rode in the ambulance, that was your signature, right? Why don't we chat outside? (PATS) You look dead. Hey. Wakey wakey. You want a little pick me up? I think I've had enough coffee for one day. How about something that's not coffee? ERIC: I'm good. (TENSE MUSIC) You're still on edge. No, no, Mm-mm. Something happen tonight? No, no. You know you can talk to me, right? Mm hmm. You know you can trust me. You can tell me anything. Right? Talk to me. This is not a good idea, this is... Shh. It'll be fine. Look I told you before, I just can't do this. Okay. (SIGHS) - Hey Brie? - Hmm? Look that crash tonight, Dean and I we... (BEEPS) ANNOUNCER: All units report a stabbing on Mateo and 8th. (EXCITING MUSIC) You know what? Reuben and I, we got your back on this call, okay? You just stay here. Tell me later. Yo Reuben, let's go. - Unit six responding, over. - 10-4. Come on, don't do this to me now. Fucker come on! Want some gas, yeah? Well looks like she finally shit the bed. Fuckin' A. Eric! Oh man. We're gonna have to take Danger One. Uh, no no no no, no don't do that, you can't do that. - What, why? - No. Dean should be coming right back. We'll take care of it, don't worry, it's fine. But I already said Reuben and I... Uh, let me just go outside and check for Dean and see when he's coming back, alright? Just don't go anywhere. Alright I'll be right back. The fuck is his problem? I dunno. DEAN: Look, Max called. Cops or feds or somebody just questioned him - and he's freaking out. - What? We gotta keep our shit together in case we gotta talk him off the ledge before he does something stupid. Where's Danger One? Oh, I was trying to tell you. Fuckin' call came in, Bravo wouldn't start, - and Brie went right off. - Brie just took it? The money was on there. Why didn't you ride with them? She wouldn't wait! (BUZZING) Hey, Max. - Where's Dean? - Hold on. Max, hold on, Max, Max, wait up, wait up, hold on. Wait a sec, wait a second. MAX: Where the fuck is he? I'm over here, what's up Max? Where is it Dean? I wanna see it. Look, it's safe, okay? I wasn't fucking talking to you. Hey man, relax, it's all good. He's telling the truth, it's in a safe place and so. What happened with the feds? It wasn't the feds, it was ICE. - ICE? - Yeah. Immigration and customs. They're part of some task force tracking money being smuggled in and out of airports. They knew that the guy that we picked up was gonna have cash on him. They were fucking following him! So you see what I'm saying? They know about the fucking money, man. It's only a matter of time before they connect the dots and we're fucked. Dean! We're sticking with the plan. The fucking plan, your fucking plan. Look I don't give a shit what you assholes do. But I'm taking my cut and I'm getting the fuck outta here. Where? Out man, like fucking out, gone! Look, going out half-cocked, it's a good way to get... I'm not going to fucking jail, man. So give me my cut right now. We can't. What are you trying to pull? I'm not fucking stupid, man. We can't give you your money because it's not here. MAX: Motherfucker. They'll bring it back, okay, they're gonna... They? They, who the fuck are they? - Shut up! - Hey! Give me my fucking money! What are you doing? Max, listen to me. - Jesus. - Where's my fucking money? - You son of a bitch. - Max, chill, easy. No, I'm gonna fucking warn you, I'll kill you. I'll kill both of you. - You crazy fuck, get off me. - Get off him, Max! Get off me! (SHOUTING) Fucking dead, Dean! Listen to me, man. The money's out on the other fucking rig, okay? It's coming right back. This isn't a fucking scam, man, it's an honest mix up, alright? Stop fucking lying to me, man! I'm not pulling something on you, man! Stop fucking lying to me! DEAN: You're fucking crazy, you're fucking crazy! You're fucking dead man. I'm not pulling something on you man. - You're fucking dead. - Why would I do that? (SHOUTING) You're fucking dead! (GUN FIRING) God! Whoa, you okay, you alright? - Christ! - Try to rip me off? Stop! Stop! Stop shooting, no, stop shooting! Jesus! Fuck this shit! (GROANING) (HAUNTING MUSIC) Oh my god. Dean, what did you do? What do you mean what'd I do? I fucking saved your ass. Okay, we can fix this, okay, we can make it better. We can... (FLOPS) Oh, oh, oh! So? (GAGGING) (RETCHING) Hey... You okay? Look what you just fucking did to this guy. Yeah, shit. (TENSE MUSIC) Oh, your arm. - Uh... - Dude fuck my arm. No man. Oh fuck it, I'll fucking do it later. What are we gonna do? I don't know, but we're not gonna turn ourselves in. We're so fucking past the point of no return right now. Alright, don't even... (BEEPS) BRIE: Hey guys, we're on our way back. REUBEN: That's right so take that dick out your mouth bro. (LAUGHING) We gotta clean this shit up. (SLAPS) Dude! We're gonna clean this shit up, okay? (OPERA MUSIC) Let's see. (KNOCKS) You got it? (CHUCKLES) Hmm. (MUTTERING) (CELL PHONE RINGING) Rami didn't make it. SILAS: Right dear unfortunate. And I found the money, I got your money. SILAS: Splendid. Well, I mean, that is to say at this point it's just merely a matter of retrieval. SILAS: Well I see where this is headed, I'll make some calls. Don't do that, don't, please... SILAS: I can't have you running around all night making things worse, JJ. Come back here and we'll sort you down. Alright? (FUNKY MUSIC) You about done over there? Dean. I'm not getting on your case, just running out of time. You know maybe if you helped a little bit. Ah, no bitching. I saved your life, remember? Now I'm not expecting flowers or anything like that. Just want you to do one thing for me. Alright, is that so hard? I'm doing something real important over here. Hmm. Mm hmm. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Careful, body's gonna fall off. Everybody here's so fucking clumsy. This is so fucking stupid. Get the wheels up and in. Oh god, gotta get this ax in, there, good. Alright, get over here.

Uh, bunch of wannabe gangsters jumped some kid. Stabbed him in the chest, he'll make it. DEAN: Okay, you both alright? Yeah, can I talk to you? Yeah actually I wanna talk to both of you.

(MIMICKING DRUM ROLL) Reuben. Me? Brie has been saying what outstanding work you've been doing out on the field and stuff. I have? Yep. Congratulations, you are Turbo Elite's first ever employee of the month. (LAUGHING) That name, right there. REUBEN: Yeah I'm gonna show my mom this shit man! - Reuben, nice! - What, awesomeness!

SILAS: Well I am sorry to hear that, truly. I see you made some calls. Oi. There's no easy way to say this but I'm pulling you off the job. Ah, well. That would be a mistake. You said it was merely a matter of retrieval. That's exactly what these two specialize in. But it's my operation, I set it up, and we've had three deliveries this week no problem. Until tonight, when there was a pretty big fucking problem. Yeah but I can fix it. I've made up my mind. Point those two in the right direction, they'll get it wrapped up, but you're out. It's your new project. Yes it is. Nice, very nice. Maybe I could help you with it once construction begins. And do what? Rough up the union bosses? Now come on, it's not the old days, JJ. Now I simply bribe people. That's partly what the cash was for. Besides, look at you. You'll have a chance to spend more time with your music. That little opera thing you've been composing. That's what you wanted, right? Yeah, it was. But, uh, I can't do that without your generosity, Silas. So I need this job. It's not all your fault. Maybe you're just not up to this tough guy shit anymore. You got old, right? What did you say? Old. You got old, JJ. So, how about you finish your drink, take your Men's Warehouse suit and that absurd hairpiece and go home, hmm? (OPERA MUSIC) (GROANING) Oh shit! JJ, stop! (GUNS FIRING) (SHOUTING) Did you see that, Silas? Not bad for an old fart, eh? Oh god, oh I've changed my mind. You can stay on, finish the job, just get me to a hospital. Oh, that's okay, you know what? I figure I'm self-employed now. Oh! No wait wait! What do you want? Code to your safe. - It's not here. - Oh well. (SHOUTING) Oh one six one six five four. (SHOUTING) - Oh six five four. - Five four! I got it. (GUN FIRES) (OPERA MUSIC) Hello, my lovelies. Where have you been all my life? Okay. One more mil to go. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) I take it you never dumped a body before, right? No Dean, no, I have not. Right. Well, hit me with any ideas. And you're an accomplice now so turning ourselves in, that ain't one of 'em. You're the one that fucking got us into this mess. I'm just trying not to get caught here. (SIREN WHOOPING) Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me. We must've rolled a stop sign or something. I didn't roll any fucking stop signs, Dean. The fuck am I gonna do now? Pull over, dude. Okay, I'm pulling over. DEAN: You seem nervous. Don't be nervous. There's a bond between cops and EMTs. They'll just give us a warning, watch. Stop eating that crap! - I'm such a nervous eater. - Shit, he's coming! Okay, look at me, it's all good. It's all good. Deep breath in. (BREATHING DEEPLY) Slow out. Just like that. (TAPS) Evening, boys. - Evening. - Evening. Captain Beckwith, immigration and customs. You know I just missed you back at the garage so I thought I'd grab you here as opposed to waiting for you to come back. Little bit of a hurry. Okay. Oh, we know that feeling. Oh shit, I'm not interrupting a run or anything, am I? - No. - Please, we're fine. And you were both on the call tonight? You know, the crash off San Pedro? - Yep. - Yep. Yep. Hmm, sorry. It must be hard to lose somebody like that. DEAN: It's part of the job. Mind if I take a look in the back? Why? I mean, we're... (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) We probably don't want you to do that. I mean we would prefer you to... Well, the guy you picked up was carrying contraband. It wasn't on him when he arrived at the hospital. Maybe it was the wrong guy. No. No, we know he was part of a ring smuggling money from overseas bank accounts. - Ooh! - Ooh! You know, mostly old people trying to avoid taxes. Old people are doing that? Hey maybe it fell out in the back. We woulda noticed something like that, right? Right. 'Cause we're pretty, you know, pretty on top of it. It's pretty clean back there, spick and span. Yeah well all the same. I'm just checking things off my list so mind if I take a look in the back? (CLEARS THROAT) I mean you probably need like, um, probable cause. Probably. The suspect rode in here with you. That's my probable cause. Oh. - Huh. - Oh okay. Open it. You know what? Why don't you go ahead and open it for him? BECKWITH: Something happen to your arm there? ERIC: Um, I got a tattoo. BECKWITH: Tonight? ERIC: No, no it was on Saturday. BECKWITH: Oh, okay. Does that still hurt? ERIC: No, no, it's fine. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) What the hell? (SHOUTING) DEAN: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Oh my god. Oh! No put the gun down! Oh fuck! Dean, Dean! (GUN FIRING) (SHOUTS) There's a car coming, we gotta go. Eric, come on man! You drive. ERIC: What the fuck was that? - You've lost it, man! - Come on! I did what I had to do. ERIC: That was different than Max. - No. - Whoa whoa whoa, hold on. Max was self-defense. You killed this fucking guy! Yeah, I know. - That was murder! - But he was gonna kill us. - Hey. - How do you know that? Because he was fucking shady, dude. If he saw the money he was gonna fucking blow us away, okay? Hold on, just fucking ask yourself what you woulda done. Not that! Just, fuck, not that! He coulda let us go, man. Why the fuck did he have to look inside the back? Hey man, where you taking us? Back to the garage. Aren't you forgetting something? Fuck! (HORN HONKS) He said he wanted to get out of town. Miles of pumps and pipes, it's like a giant garbage disposal. Let's do this. I have an idea. We're gonna tilt this right up, it's gonna go right in. Easy. He'll be fish food before anybody finds anything. Now lift with your legs, go go go, go go go go go go. What now? You do this strap, I'll do this one. On three. One, two, three. (CLICKS) Jesus Christ. Alright. (GROANING) Give me a hand, Eric. - Pull it! - I'm fucking pulling! Come on, you bitch, you little bitch, you fucking pussy. Holy shit man, you can't, holy shit! (SHOUTING) Alright. Dean, where are you going? This is a stupid fucking idea. You're gonna love this one. What do you think you're doing? What are you gonna do with that? Dean, fucking listen to me. What are you doing? We're gonna make it fit. Sorry Max. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Eric. Come on. Come help me with this thing, okay? Dean. Oh. Come on. Give me a hand with this. - It's heavy. - Yeah. Watch your fingers. (SCREAMING) (GROANING) It's okay. It's alright, just, you know. That's why you got 10 of 'em. (UPBEAT DANCE MUSIC) Here. Look. Take some of these. What is that? It's Percocet. No, it's Oxy, even better. Just take a bunch of these, you'll forget you even have fingers, bro. (LAUGHING) You know what's worse than leaving fingerprints at the scene of a crime, right? Leaving your finger! (LAUGHING) Come on, that's gold! (GIRLS LAUGHING) - How 'bout this after party? - Yeah, we can do that. Oh shit, is that a dead body? Oh my god. Call 9111. - Gross. - Let's call from the car. We only have an hour left anyway. (LAUGHING) (BEEPING) Oh, good, she looks pissed about something. Oh man, she's on one tonight. Let me do the talking, alright? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (CLEARS THROAT) Hmm. Where's Reuben? Well. Bravo's out of commission so I sent him home. Well what did I get all this beef jerky for? What happened to your finger? Nothing. Just slammed it in the door. Yep, ouch. What? I gotta talk to you for a second. Dean! Hold on Speedy Gonzales, slow down. Is this about New Year's Eve? Hey so we can trust each other, right? Of course. Huh. (TENSE MUSIC) When I was out on this last call this kid was bleeding all over, right? So, um... Now where'd you put that (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)? Ah, here it is. So I was looking for some quick lock dressing. So I checked Danger One's bench compartment and, funny thing, there was a padlock on it. Hmm. Then I find these on the floor. Hmm, odd. What the fuck is going on, Dean? AUTOMATED VOICE: You have one new message. VALERIE: Eric, it's me. I couldn't fall asleep. I know you're probably driving, or... You don't have to call back. I was just hoping that I'd catch you. I don't like how we left it today. So if you can call, I'll probably be up. I love you. (BEEPS) ANNOUNCER: All units, hit and run, officer down. All units, repeat, officer down. 1400 block of Newton, cross street Hooper... - Fuck me. - Code three, code three. All units, hit and run, officer down. All units, repeat, officer down. - Did you hear that? - Yeah, mm hmm. That location. We're gonna take it. We're gonna take it? Yeah, what if he pulls through? That would be bad. I'm going with you guys. Oh no no no no no. - It's okay bro. - It's not okay bro. - Look, she knows. - What? Yeah, he told me everything. - Everything? - Everything, everything. Eric, come on, get in. (SIREN WAILING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Yeah we're gonna take a left up here. - Here? - Yeah, yeah, here. At the light. He still breathing? Barely. (COUGHING) He'll have a chance if we get him to an ER in the next five minutes. Slow code. Eric, let's make it six minutes. Eric. Just to be clear, I'm saying drive a little slower. Eric, we can't risk him pulling through and identifying us. Eric, do you hear what I'm saying? Please slow down. Right, Eric. (SHOUTING) Shit. - Slow down, Eric! - Eric, slow the fuck down! Eric! We're restraining this guy, just pull the fuck over! - (SCREAMING) - Oh fuck! Son of a bitch, where'd you get the fucking knife? Drop the knife! - Let go! - It fucking hurts! Gah! That's it. That's it. (BREATHING SHALLOWLY) Fuck, I'm sorry. Fuck. (FLATLINING) MAN: Unit nine, status? Repeat, unit nine, what is your status? 10-40, patient is deceased. MAN: 10-4, unit nine. BECKWITH VOICEOVER: Mind if I take a look in the back? You chop me up and then you throw me in the sewer. Man, what the fuck is wrong with you? I was just blowing off a little steam. But Dean. I'd watch out for that sneaky fucker. Keep an eye on him if I were you. Do you smell beef jerky? Hey. It's amazing. Thank you. Thank you, Eric. Don't do that, don't thank me. I didn't want you involved in any of this. You know what? Don't lecture me on what's dangerous, okay? 'Cause I can handle myself. - Brie. - What? You don't know what I've been through, you don't know what I've done. Fuck, you don't know me at all. Yeah, no shit. I had to start my life over again and again. In and out of juvie, beat up, shot at, I shouldn't be fucking alive but you know what? This is my opportunity to have the life I deserve. Okay so yeah I know it's dangerous. I don't care, I don't give a fuck! It's all worth it. Really, all this? Mm hmm. Hey, it's over, okay? It's over. Hmm? What you gonna do? (UPBEAT MUSIC) (MOANING) Huh, watch yourself. Great, great, let's go. Ow! - Oh oh oh! - Stop! I'm so fucking turned on right now. Well I just got stabbed in the leg, it kinda fucking hurts. Does this hurt? I just want you to fuck me right now. Okay. Yeah, yeah, uh huh. Focus, focus, there, come on. Down, down, down motherfucker! You remember what I like, huh? What? (SLAPPING) That, this. This. What the fuck are you doing? Wait, don't you smell that? I don't smell shit. No no no. (SNIFFS) - Oh my god, no no no! - What? What, what is it? Dean! Do I have to do everything by myself? No no no no no no no why why why why why why why? (PUNCHING) Oh shit! Fuck! Eric! What the fuck, man? Shit! Eric, stop! (GASPING) (GARBLED SPEAKING ON RADIO) Again, I'm so sorry for your loss and listen if there's anything you need just give me a call, okay? Bye, take care, sorry. That was his daughter. Yeah. How'd she take it? Like you'd expect. She's got some family in town at least, so. Guy see anything? Yeah. They said they checked some of the nearby shops in the area. See if they got some kind of CCTV footage of the traffic stop. No one saw nothing. Look man. This shit is getting too fucked up right now. Okay we just gotta call it quits and... What? No. It had to be that ambulance guy he was checking on. It happened half a mile from their garage. Come on, there's no way we can know that for sure, okay? There's only one way to find out. No fucking way, okay? I am done with this shit. It was your idea to start with. Now I don't know about you, but I didn't sign up to deport old ladies back to El Salvador or whatever the fuck it is we do half the time. This is our ticket out. Walk away if you want. But then Beck died for nothing. And if it makes you feel better we can give his cut to his daughter. Make sure she's good. Your call. BRIE: I saved most of it. DEAN: I thought he was coming around. But maybe he's not cut out for this. You know? Maybe we do have to trust each other. So. So? BRIE: Say something, Dean. He's my best friend. Okay, but we're running out of time. Fuck. (TOILET FLUSHES) So, what's next? Uh for now let's, you know, just get him out of sight and yeah we should be good. (BEATBOXING) Stop. My bad, I was just, you know, I get hyped up. You sure about this shit? Only thing standing between us and that money is a couple paramedics. I'm sure. (EXCITING MUSIC) (SHOUTING) Brie, stop it! Calm down, Brie. That's fucked up man, that's really fucked up. You been playing me this whole time? Huh? Then what? Then where the fuck were you gonna go? Uh, guys? Oh shit. What's going on? I don't know Reuben, why don't you tell me? Just got a text. Brie, she needed me to come pick her up. I bet she did. (LAUGHS) So, uh, Brie, um, you still coming home with me or not? - Yes. - No. - Yes. - No. I got candles burning right now. Blow 'em out yourself, okay? - Reuben, stay. - No. - Yeah. - I'm in charge. - Reuben, go! - Guys. Reuben, stay! Hello, hi. Is there a supervisor on duty? Yeah, that's me, hi, I run the place. What, who are you? I am an investigator from Rigoletto Insurance. I let myself in. Obviously. I was hoping I could, um, grab a quick statement concerning the fatal accident that occurred earlier this evening. Dude. It's four in the fucking AM. It's a little late for this, don't you think? Oh, uh, heavens. Honestly, I thought I was too early. It's fucking both. It's an especially shitty time for you to barge in like this. Couldn't you hit us back during normal business hours? Sorry, I don't understand a word you're saying. Could you handle this over the phone? Darling, this will only take a few minutes. I just wanted to confirm that you were the company that transported the victim. - (BANGS) - Police! - Hands in the fucking air! - Hands up! Now! - Put 'em straight the fuck up! - Just keep 'em up. Damnit Reuben, would it kill you to lock the fucking door? (HITS) (GROANS) Fuck, why'd you do that? (HITS) Ooh! And I'm gonna keep going until one of you tells me where it is. Sorry, we don't know what the fuck you're talking about. (HITS) (SHOUTS) Really? Where is it? Where is the money? Where is the money? I can't tell you if you've got that gun in my face. Stop. I know where it is. DEAN: Don't listen to her. You can't trust her. I'll take you to it. Brie, don't. (SHOUTING) (GUNS FIRING) - No, Reuben! - Reuben! - Drop it. - Fuck me. Shit. - I'm sorry. - Oh my god. Drop your weapon. (GROANING) You know, you and your friend might wanna consider just leaving the way you came. This doesn't concern you. JOSEPH: Do you know who you're dealing with right now? Uh, do you? Take your mask off please. Drop your fucking gun. Can he take his mask off? Last chance. Leave or die. Fuck you, old man. (GUN FIRES) No! (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (GUNS FIRING) (SHOUTING) - (SCREAMING) - Take him down! ERIC: Reuben. What the fuck are we gonna do, huh? Fuck you traitor! Fuckin' A! Fucking Reuben's dead because of you, you fucking idiot! Dean, Dean! Gimme the gun, gimme the fucking gun. ERIC: Get in, let's go! Go, I got you fuck, I got you, I got you! (SHOUTING) Fuck, shit! DEAN: Come on, come on, come on! Hurry up, come on! (SHOUTING) - Hurry up, Brie! - Fucking die bitch, die! ERIC: I'm not fucking around, let's go. (SHOUTING) Get down, get down! Go, Eric, fucking go! DEAN: Start driving Eric! (SHOUTING) (GUNS FIRING) (GROANING) Oh fuck, fuck! (GUN FIRES) ERIC: Reuben didn't deserve that. Who the hell were those guys? You know the guy that we ran over? I think they were his buddies. ERIC: What about the other guy? I think he sells insurance. BRIE: Pretty sure he doesn't. Hey. Thank you. For not leaving us back there. ERIC: Where are we even going? Well. Mulholland. My uncle has a house there in the hills. We can hide out there for a while, figure this shit out. ERIC: Fine, we should all go. I'll just get us up there first. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) What is it, what's going on? Someone's following us. That guy from the garage, the insurance guy, you think it's him? (GUN FIRES) Go! (SHOUTING) Shit! Oh fuck! Go faster! - Yeah, it's him. - You think? (SHOUTING) DEAN: Eric, do something! Oh my god! Eric we're sitting ducks back here! Swerve a little! (SCREAMING) Dean. You guys alright? Brie? DEAN: My keys, she took my keys. Eric. We gotta get outta here man, start it up. I can't. It's dead. (WHISTLES) (GUN FIRES) (SHOUTING) She's hit. Let's get her back in here. Wait wait wait, just wait, I see him. You got a plan? ERIC: I'm not leaving her like that. (COUGHING AND WHEEZING) (WHISTLING) Oh, awful sound you're making. One of your lungs is collapsed. The other one is probably filling with liquid. What am I telling you? You know that, right? Suck my dick. Maybe not. Come on, come on come on come on. It's a terrible way to go. (HUMMING) God damn fuck! Fuck it! (LAUGHING) Alright, I'm done. Is this funny to you? Fucking Dean. (SIREN WHOOPS) (SHOUTING) (GUN FIRES) Hey hey just stop, stop, Brie. Watch your arm, Brie. We gotta go. Come here, I'll get you outta here. - You can do it. - I can't. (HITTING) (SHOUTING) Brie come on, we gotta go, now. Go home, Eric. I got this. (GUN FIRES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Go to hell, asshole. (GUN FIRES) (AX HITS) (SHOUTS) I can't believe that worked. No no no, where are you going? God damnit. (GROANING) What are we doing here? This has gone on long enough right so unlock the door. Open the door, open the goddamn door! And give me my money! And then I'll walk away. You have my word. ERIC: You know what? Come and get it, asshole. (GUN FIRING) (SHOUTING) (HITTING) (GROANING) So, last time. Where is it? Why are you making this so difficult? I want my money! Fuck off. Ah! Fuck. Stupid motherfucker. How dare you fucking waste my time? (BEEPS) AUTOMATED VOICE: All clear. (OPERA MUSIC) (GROANING) This might sting a little. (SHOUTS) Dean, hey Dean. Look at that bullshit, huh? (LAUGHS) I'll call an ambulance. (CHUCKLES) Oh you thought that was funny? (LIGHT MUSIC) Yeah, that was pretty funny. Brie, she was a wild one. (GROANING) Oh boy. Hey, you never finished. What? When you were telling me why you do this. I don't know anymore. I guess I wanted to help people. Be a good person. But I fucked everything up real bad. (COUGHING) You still have a chance to make it. Dean. No no no. Dean, come on. (SIRENS WAILING) Like I was saying. Jesus, man. If Val covers for you, maybe you can get away with this. No one will know you were here. 'Cause when you asked to be put on the shift I didn't put you on the schedule 'cause I didn't wanna pay you. And so you were never there, there's no record. What about the crash, the guy we picked up? No one was paying attention. If they gave a description of the EMT that was with me they'd just say tall dark hair, you know, walks funny. - That's me. - Right. Or Reuben, who was on the schedule. I kinda thought that Brie would pull something so I put the money in the side compartment. (COUGHING) Take it. Do something good. (GENTLE MUSIC) Do something good. Morning, buddy. It's alright, I'm okay. You sleep okay? VALERIE: What happened? ERIC: I'm fine. We're gonna be okay. REPORTER: And in local news. Police officers responding to reports of heavy gunfire in the city of Vernon made a grisly discovery at a medical transport company with three confirmed fatalities so far. Two are reported to be ICE agents but their identities have not yet been released. Police have given no indications that the shooting is connected to a fatal hit and run involving an ICE agent earlier in the evening less than a mile away. It's seven o'clock. (UPBEAT TECHNO MUSIC) DEAN: Turbo log, May 11th, 11:45 PM. Oh boy, caught the new kid Reuben smashing one out in the break room. Definitely awkward. Didn't fire him, just told him to use the bathroom but I'm wondering did no one ever have the talk with him? Reminder, check out some blogs on parenting. And workplace masturbation. Dean out. (UPBEAT TECHNO MUSIC) Turbo log, July 8th, 1:30 AM. Going on four days of the silent treatment from El Erico. I'm guessing this is all related to the July 4th barbecue event where apparently I said something lewd to his wife. Look, I mixed a little bit of bourbon with beer with cocaine that day. I'm not gonna celebrate? I'm a fucking American. And she was waving her red white and blue fanny in my face. I guess I'll apologize. Dean out. (UPBEAT TECHNO MUSIC) Turbo log, July 9th, 1:45 AM. I think we accidentally hit a cat on the way to a call tonight. Look, I don't have anything against cats, I think that they're okay, but for some reason I felt nothing, nothing. Reminder, check out WebMD and see if that means that I'm a bad person.
