(thunder booming) - The average person lives to be around 75 to 80 years of age. And we spend most of that
time trying to find something. (melancholy music) Love, success, happiness, all good things. What about redemption? How does someone live with
the mistakes they've made? How do we find redemption? Everyone thinks they have the answer I did before it happened. And now I know one thing's for sure. Life is short. This is my story. (sighs) So how's it work? Jesus comes back. If you're on the naughty list, he won't take you to paradise? - (scoffs) He's not Santa Claus. - What would you call it? - The Rapture. The Lord taking his church. You do believe, don't you?
- Of, of course I believe. Just, just not in fairy tales. - Fairy tales. It's in his holy word, Eli. It's not a fairytale.
- All right. Can we just talk about something else? All right? My brain hurts. - (sighs) All right. Heard a sergeant's position opened up. Are you gunning for it? (Eli sighs in frustration) - So we're just gonna
disappear out of our clothes, like vaporized?
- Seriously? What was all that talk
about partners for life? - Hey, hey. For life. For life. All right? Good? All right. So, partner for life, what do you say we spice
some things up a bit? - What are you doing? - Ordering a pizza. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know what you're doing. - I'm trying to order a pizza. - No, you said spice things up. - Yeah, I like my pizza spicy. - Pizza spicy. You wanna go in that house. And I'm telling you right
now, we're not doing that. - Look, I have a hunch. - You having hunches again? You said we were just gonna
watch the house. That's it. - I'm telling you, they have her. - (sighs) Look, I wanna
believe that too, Eli. I really do. But we already searched
this guy and he was clean. - That's because we were too late and we're making the same mistake now. Chase, she's in the house. Trust me. - You don't know that. - Well, there's only one way to find out. - No. When you cut the head off
of a snake, you bury it. - What's that mean? - You know what that means. - I've never cut the
head off a snake before. - It means it's gonna bite us in the rear if we're wrong. (Eli chuckles sarcastically) - Then why did you agree to
come out with me tonight? - To keep you out of trouble. That's why. - Chase. The entire department
backed off of those guys. That leaves us sitting here, off duty, waiting for some kind
of miracle to happen. That's not gonna happen. We need to do something
before it's too late. - No. - Come on, man. Don't you wanna get these scumbags? We can end this tonight. - You're not talking me into it. - Hey, can you hear me. - [Chase] Regrettably, yes. - How do I look? - Like a mistake. Just try to keep your head. - Don't I always? All right. I got a large half
pepperoni, half cheese pizza. That'll be 14.99. - Uh... sorry, I didn't order a pizza. - Oh. This is 1215 Henrisi Drive, isn't it? - Yes, but I still didn't order a pizza. - Well, maybe somebody else did, like your wife or child or... - We don't have kids. Hey honey, you order a pizza? - No. - There you go. - I guess it's on our end then. (chuckles) Sorry to bother you. - No worries. Have a good night. - Yeah. Oh, uh. You know, what do, what do you say you take it for free? Yeah. I mean, I can't
take this back with me. I, 'cause I got too many
marks against me already. You should have it. It's on me. - All right. Appreciate it. - Yeah. - You have a good night. - Yeah, you too. Oh, you're not gonna tip me? - Excuse me? - Yeah, I mean, someone does you a favor, I mean, at least you can
do is tip them, right? (mayor sighs) - There you go. Have a good night. - 20? The 20's nice. I mean, 100 would really help me out. I know this great youth ministry and they're hurting really bad. And I just, if you could only
see their faces right now. - Hey, what's your problem? - It's no problem. I just wanted to see how
much crap you'd put up with. - What'd you say? - I said, you're desperate. Trying to get rid of
me as fast as you can. And quietly. Even the way you hug the door frame to hide the game controller
on the coffee table. It's cute. You wanna just save me some time and tell me where the girl's at? - Ah, I see. You're a cop. - Well, I mean, I could be a cop. How do you know I'm not
just a angry pizza man who can't stand child abductors? - You know, I recall going through this with you guys before. You invaded my life,
turned my home upside down. - That was fun. - And what'd you find? Nothing? (Eli chuckles sarcastically) - Well, that's because you're
very patient, Mr. Mayor. You see, you and your wife
like to abduct a child every six months. And you know, you butter him
up with sweets and video games. And you know, as soon as you realize that they don't measure up
to your deceased daughter, you just dispose of them, you know, in such a way that's untraceable. And because you're the mayor, everyone else is just
afraid to accuse you. - You know this is harassment? I can snap my fingers, make pizza delivery a
full-time thing for you. How's that sound? - Last night, an eight-year-old
girl, Amy Prescott, was abducted from the 205 mall. And I think she's in your house. - And I think you need a warrant. And since I know you don't have one, I'll tell you what. You leave right now, I'll make sure you still
have a job in the morning. - Well, that's also the problem. Because you know by the time
I come back with a warrant, Amy will be long gone. - Last chance before I phone your chief. - Eli, don't. Just go. - Smart move, champ. (tense music) - High or low? - Oh, no. (mayor groans) Ah! Sit down. Hey. Watch them. Amy. Amy Prescott. You in here? Come out, sweetie. It's police. It's all right. Ooh, Amy. Hey, sweetheart. It's okay. I'll put this away. It's all right. See that? I'm police, okay? You're safe now. Let's, let's go home. Okay? It's okay. Come on, baby. Let's go home. Come on. Oh, atta girl. (tense music swells) Hey, I got her. (sighs) - Sorry. Working on my temper. - Boss. - Not this time, Eli. - Look, I don't see what the big deal is. - You disobeyed a direct order! - And we got 'em. - And you broke protocol! If she hadn't have been there, you would've been done for. You understand me? Done for. - If I hadn't have done what I did, Amy Prescott wouldn't be here. - You agree with him? - As much as I'd hate to admit it, I do. - You're suspended. Both of you. - Are you serious? - In case you forgot,
Eli, we've got rules. - Rules?
- Yes, rules! (Eli laughs sarcastically) People today do not tolerate
breaking of the rules! Not in police work. Now hand 'em over. - Sir, for how long? - Until I say so. - Will that be all, sir? - No. Eli, if you ever wanna make sergeant, you need to bury this cowboy act of yours. Now, that will be all. - Eli! Come on in. - What's going on, Rachel?
- So good to see ya! It's been a while. Oh. - How you doing, buddy? - I'm good. You know, there's a certain
someone who's been missing you. - (sighs) Yeah. I'm sorry. It's, you know me. I've been swamped at work. - Yeah, things have been
pretty crazy lately. - Yeah. Tell me about it. I heard there was like three
shootings in this neighborhood just in the last month. You guys doing okay? - (chuckles) Make that four shootings, but we're doing all right. - Rachel, I keep telling him, we gotta get you outta here. - And go where exactly? - I hear Mars is nice. (Rachel laughs) - And I keep telling you that you just can't outrun this stuff. It's everywhere. In the last days, perilous times are- - Whoa, whoa, whoa. I get enough of that from my partner. Just tell me you're packing
wherever you're going. - Don't leave home without it. - That's what I like to hear. See those Lakers get
smashed the other night? - Hey, now, LeBron was hurt. What do you expect? - Excuses, excuses. - Well, did you see 'em
dominate last night? - You're a traitor to your own city. - No, I just like teams that win. (Eli laughs) - How you doing, kid? - Ooh. Just missing you. - I miss you too.
- Where have you been? - Oh, you know, I would rather whoop your
tail at a game of chess than talk about my crazy life. Hey, I might need some coffee. (she laughs) - Are you gonna go or you worried that I'm
coming for your king? Hey, what was that? - It's called castling. - That's not a real move. - No, it is. - You moved two pieces. - As long as you're not in check and your king and castle
haven't moved yet, you can do it, but you can only do it once. - So when should you actually do it? - Well, whenever you feel
your king needs some, when your king needs protected. - You've been holding out on me. Why didn't you tell me this? - I just wanted you to get
a feel for the game first. - You just don't like to lose. Do you still blame yourself? - Hmm?
- For me. - Just... It's hard. I wasn't there. - I'm gonna walk again someday, Uncle Eli. And I pray that you'll
be with me when I do. - Thanks for dinner. - Anytime. - I got you an early Christmas present. - (scoffs) No, I don't want your money. - Come on, Rachel. Just take it. - No, you can't keep doing this. - I just, every time I look at Lizzy, I just... - It's not your fault. It's not Bobby's fault.
It's no one's fault. - Not mine? We should have been there. - If I shoulda, coulda,
woulda, it doesn't matter. We're moving past it. Why can't you? Look, you and Bobby are my best friends. You're like brothers to me, but you're both stubborn and you try and take on the world. - Hey, don't compare me to him. All right? He took off. I'm still here. I'm dealing with it. - Even when you're here, you're not here. You know what Lizzy said
to me the other day? Losing the ability to walk was not the worst thing
that happened to her. It was losing her uncles too. She doesn't need your pity. She needs your love, your
support, time with you. - Did you tell all that
to Bobby when he ran out? - Well, yeah.
(melancholy music) But I didn't know he wasn't coming back. - I gotta go. - No. Hey. (sighs) Thanks for coming by. Hey, do you wanna join
us for church on Sunday? Maybe get a bite to eat afterwards? - I can't. I gotta-
- Work? Maybe next time. (melancholy music continues) (ball squeaks) Dang it, Loki. You're gonna kill me one of these days. - [Announcer] Lakers have a
chance to take the lead now. Down a point, flying by LeBron! Anthony Davis sprinting down the floor. It's an 11-1 Laker run up ahead. Beautiful touch!
(crowd cheering) A 13-1... (phone beeps) - You decide to lift my suspension? - Take a seat. - Is this a lecture? - I need to ask a favor of you. - I'm not gonna apologize to anyone. - Would you just shut up and listen to me? I need to find Bobby. - So call him. - I have. His number's disconnected. - Then do some policing. - I did. - Well, I don't know what
to tell you, Lieutenant. He's your brother, not mine. - He was your partner! He's your friend. - Was. - Look, I know you're ticked
off about your suspension. And that's why I'm
reconsidering your promotion if you do me this favor. I need you to find Bobby
and bring him home. (Eli chuckles sarcastically) - Are you outta your flipping mind? What? - I need you to do this for me. - How can you ask me to do that? - Eli! - After everything he did, running out on everyone. - I'm dying. - What? - Pancreatic cancer, stage four. I've got maybe a year. (Eli sighs) Started out with some stomach
pains and I was losing weight. I went in for a CT scan and
that's when they found it. I need to get my house in order. - Sir, I know you can hire a PI, but you're asking me. Out of all people, me. Why me? - Besides you knowing
him better than anyone, I need someone as hardheaded
as he is to get him to listen. I, I was doing some reading about the shepherd who left the 99 sheep to go find the one that was lost. And I don't pretend to
understand what all that means. But Bobby's lost. - Surrounded by a bunch of saints. - Look, I, I need to make
peace with my brother. You guys can hate each other all you want when I'm gone. I'm asking as a friend. - What about my suspension? Last I checked that doesn't
look good on a sergeant. - Your suspension was just a formality. You saved a girl's life. Let me worry about the minor details. (dynamic rock music) - You're ignoring my calls. - It's usually what happens when someone doesn't wanna talk to you. - Fair enough. - Can I offer you something to drink? Something with a little bit
of poison in it, perhaps? - Look, I'm sorry, all right? I should have told you
I put in for sergeant. - No, man. You, you lied to me. You said partners for life. - That wasn't a lie. Even if I get promoted, we're
always gonna be partners. I misled you. I'm sorry. Just, I'm here because I'm hoping you'd help me with something. - (scoffs) My help. - Look, the lieutenant came to me and, and he asked me to track down his brother. - Bobby, your old partner? - Apparently he went off grid and the boss wants me to take a trip to the town he was in. Thought you'd go with me. - You can't stand Bobby. But he asked you? Can I ask why? - (sighs) Um, I just found out that the lieutenant was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Yeah, he's, he's got maybe a year to live. - Okay. Um, I was not expecting that. (sighs deeply) And Bobby doesn't know. Well, I know you're not doing this out of the kindness of your own heart, so what's in it for you? Wait a minute. He's making you sergeant, isn't he? (scoffs) Get outta my house, Eli. - Look, it's not like that, okay? I could just use your help on this. - You know what? No. You've never listened to me. Not once. And now we're suspended. Find someone else to put up with your ego. (man speaking indistinctly
on walkie-talkie) (melancholy music) - [Man On Walkie-Talkie] Assumed armed and extremely dangerous. (knocking on door) - Quad from God, little bit of cream. (upbeat hip-hop music) - So what changed your mind? - Whitmore. He's a good man. And despite your motivations
for bringing Bobby back, I wanna make sure he
gets a proper invitation. - What, you think I'm gonna hog-tie him and throw him in the trunk? - I think you'll do just about anything to get what you want, Eli. - Okay. Yes. Whitmore offered me the promotion, but if it wasn't for my respect for him, I wouldn't be doing this. - So what exactly happened
between you and Bobby? What? Nothing? - There's nothing to talk about. - You told me he got all ticked off and left the department? - There's more to it than that. - Well, you wanna enlighten me? I kind of like to know
what I'm walking into before sparks start flying. - Hey. Some things just aren't
worth talking about. - Well, we could always
talk about end times. - Come on, man. What's your deal with that? - Look, just hear me out. You got wars, natural
disasters, famine, pestilence. - All things we've had for years. - But not all at once. And they're increasing by the day. - No, we just hear about
those things more often because we have internet,
social media and smartphones. - Well, now it's happening globally, whereas you couldn't say that before. - Who says? If we'd had social media
40 or 50 years ago, we'd probably hear about it. - Okay, mister techno junkie. What about the mark of the beast? - What about it? - Everything's digital now. An easier way would be to have a microchip embedded under your skin with all your bank information on it. - Dude, you watch way too much sci-fi. - And with all that AI stuff we have now, man, that's crazy. - Detective Chase Riley, come with me if you want to live. (chuckles) - Did you know you're
also in Bible prophecy? - Yeah? How do you figure? - Where it says mockers
and scoffers will come in the last days, that's you. - Man, shut up. I'm turning the radio up. (hip-hop music continues) - [Radio Announcer] Many cities are seeing a dramatic increase in homelessness. To answer the crisis, advocates in Portland, Oregon are turning to a strategy used
in commercial real estate. - What? Too heavy for you? - We're almost there. Hey, sorry to bother you, ma'am. We're looking for a friend
of ours, Bobby Whitmore. We were told he lived here. - Hmm. No, it's just me. Do you guys have the right house? - Yeah, I thought I did. That's him right there. You think maybe you've seen
him around town somewhere? - No, I, I can't say
that I have. I'm sorry. - That's okay. That's okay. That's all right. So you haven't had anyone live here in the last couple months? - No. Like I said, just me. - I see. I see. I didn't catch your name. What was your name? - Mary.
- Mary. Tell me, Mary. How long
have you lived alone? - What is this? Are you guys cops? - Cops? No. No. No. Why? You, you like cops? - No, but I'm about to call one. - Well, that's good 'cause
we're actually detectives. - Do you have a badge? - No, no. But since you're a big fan of cops, I figured we can, we can play a little game, right? Little game called "Good cop, bad cop." Yeah. I'm, I'm sure you heard of it. See, this is, this is good cop and I'm bad cop. And bad cop's gonna continue
to ask you questions. And if you don't answer 'em, bad cop's gonna suspect
this place is a meth house, and a whole lot of very annoying people are gonna come down
here and tear it apart. - Eli.
- Hey, see? Good cop's already getting into character. So how long have you lived alone, Mary? - 10 years. I'm divorced. - I'm really sorry to hear that. Within those 10 years, have you had anyone else live with you? - I already answered your question. - Eli. - (chuckles) Oh, hey,
there goes good cop again. - Bobby doesn't live here. Now please leave. - Whoa. Who, who doesn't live here? Who doesn't? You said, you said Bobby, You said Bobby don't live here. Like you know him. - Bobby, your friend, Bobby. That's what you said his name was. He doesn't live here. - So when did he leave? When, when did Bobby- - It's time to go. - I'm, I'm gonna listen to good cop. You have a nice day. - Was that necessary? - Hey, all she had to say was, "Yes, he lived here and
this is when he left." - Why do you gotta aggravate people? - Aggravating people
is how I get the truth. And I know when someone's lying to me. (Chase sighs) - Where, where did Bobby work? (downbeat country music) - My turn to talk. - [Employee] How y'all doing today? - Oh, I'm doing just
fine, ma'am, thank you. P- Wondering if it's possible
we could speak to the owner. - You're looking at her,
sugar. How can I help you? - All right. Awesome. Well, partner and I, we're off duty and we took a trip to
find a friend of ours and we're having a hard time. We're told he worked here. Do you know a Bobby Whitmore? - I know Bobby. He was a great worker and then two months ago he called in sick and I haven't heard from him since. - And you haven't seen
him around town at all? - Mm, afraid not. In fact, I had to send his
final check in the mail because he never bothered
to come in and get it. - And you wouldn't mind
sharing that address with us, would you? - Mind showing your badges? I just can't give that
information out to anybody. - We're off duty, ma'am. You've been very helpful.
Thank you for your time. - Hold on, sugar. Let me get Junior. Junior knows him a lot better than I do. Junior, can you come here, please? - See what happens when you're nice? - What's up? - These two gentlemen-
- Detectives. - They're looking for Bobby Whitmore. Have you seen him? - Nah, I haven't seen him since he quit. - Like not at all? Anywhere else? - Nope. Sorry. - Were you guys close? - I mean, he bought me some lunch every now and then at work, but that was about it. - All right. Well, thank you both for
your help and for your time. - No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on minute. You said you mailed
Bobby's last check, right? - I can't reveal that information to you. - I, can you just tell me if
it was a Hubbard address? It would be very helpful. - I would like to say yes, but I can't reveal that information. - Thank you. Have a good day. (downbeat country music continues) - Sorry to bother you again. - No, let's skip the chit-chat. You lied to us, Mary. All right, Bobby's old
paycheck was mailed here. Now, I know he doesn't wanna be found, but this isn't a social visit. He's got a brother that's
dying of an incurable cancer with months to live. The man is practically
a ticking time bomb. And the last thing he
wants to do before he dies is see his brother one last time. Now will you just have
a heart and help us? - (sighs) Fine. I have a rental property, a cream house with blue trim
on the corner of Fourth. If he doesn't answer, leave
his mail on the porch. - Why the big secret? - You're a real pain, you know that? - Only when I'm right. - What are you doing? - You're gonna wanna look away. - (sighs) Are you kidding me right now? I don't even wanna know how
you know how to do that. - That's them. (Bobby snoring) - Bobby, wake up. Hey. - Man, I don't have it. - Hey, Bobby. Earth to Bobby. (taser crackles)
(Bobby yelping in pain) (Bobby groans) - You always were a heavy sleeper. - What are you doing here? - Ben? You know, your brother? - Yeah. - Yeah. He's got something very
important to talk to you about. And because your stupid
phone's disconnected, he asked me to come out here
and get you, and bring you home. Get up. Let's go. Come on. - Wait, wait, wait. Who are you? - I'm the idiot that decided to tag along. Here's your mail. - Hey, thanks. Well, I got bad news. I'm not going anywhere, so you guys can just get outta here. Hey. - Look, I got news for you. All right? I drove over 100 miles for something I didn't even
wanna waste my time with. Now you will come back with me. The how is up to you? - Well, you know what they say. When you run outta cereal, there's always power bars. Hey, hey. Let go of my arm. - Let go of the bottle. - Give it to me, you jerk. (Eli and Bobby grunting) Give it to me. - Gimme the bottle. (taser crackling)
(Eli and Bobby yelp in pain) - Unless you guys wanna
hear me start talking about the second coming of Christ, I suggest you calm it down. Now I came along on this ride out of the respect I
have for your brother. If you don't wanna come
back with us, that's fine. But I think you owe him
at least a phone call. - What, owe? Where'd you find this guy? - He's my partner. - Yeah, well. Got some real stones on him, I'll give him that. He ever tell you about
our little adventures? Yeah, we were quite the pair, he and I. Both hungry to put people away. Both driven, both stubborn. He ever tell you what happened between us? And both secretive. - Hey, you left. That's what happened. You quit on me, you quit on Ben and the entire department and you quit on Lizzy. - Hey, you don't get to judge me. You're so self-righteous. I mean, you didn't visit her for what? Like, like, like a month
after the shooting. - I needed some time. - Yeah, well, some of us
need more than others. - Hold up, hold up. What shooting? - Don't worry about it. Time's up. Let's go. Get yourself together. - What's wrong, Eli? We picking the scab a
little too much, huh? You know what I think? I think we should just
rip the whole thing off. What do you say? Huh? So Eli and I are supposed
to go to the theater with our friend Rachel
and her daughter Lizzy. - Just stop. - But old fireball here, as we're walking out the office, decides, nah, we're gonna
take on another assignment. Says, "Oh, it'll be a quick one." - I said stop. - And we're sitting
there for over an hour. And we hear over the radio that there's been a
shooting at the theater. - That's enough. - Did they... - No. Lizzy, was paralyzed from the waist down. Yeah. - I thought you left the department 'cause you didn't make sergeant. - I did leave because
I didn't make sergeant, because my brother said that I
was unfit for the time being. - You were unfit for the time being. - And that's what you told him. - Ben came to me and I
wasn't gonna lie to him. - Yeah, you should have had my back. - I did! - Then why did you put
your name in the hat right after I was denied, huh? Yeah. Ben told me that. - Well, I didn't get the job. - You better watch out
for this one, buddy. He always puts work first. - Ben is dying. - What? He's got pancreatic cancer. Stage four. Maybe a year to live. That's why I'm here. Look, man. I'm sorry. - Don't. - He wants to make things right with you. - Well, he should have
come down here himself. - He's got stomach pain. That's why he asked me. - What do you get out of it? What does he get out of it? - Unsuspended. - (laughs) You're suspended? That's the best. Oh, you know what, guys? This has been really, really fun. Truly. It's been a blast. But I'm about to get my day started here, so I think you know where the door is. - I swear I will drag you outta here. You understand me? - No, you won't. Look, we came here, said
what we needed to say. Just give him time to process. - Process? - I'm sorry about your brother. I can honestly say he's
the best man I know. - Wait, where are you going? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, man. We came all this way. You just gonna run out on me? - Yeah, I am. You can lead a horse to water, Eli. - Yeah, and you can also make 'em drink. - Do whatever you're gonna do. You never listen to me anyway. For life. Remember? - What are you, just gonna walk? - I'll take the bus. - Look, man. Why won't you just come
back with me, all right? We can put aside our differences. Maybe we can even get you
back on the department. I know you need the work. Your old boss told me you
quit two months ago, man. I don't even know how you're
paying for this place. - Wait, wait, wait, wait. You, you went to my old job? I thought Mary told you where I was. - She did, but I went to your work first. - Did you talk to Junior? - Yeah. Briefly. - And you told him you were looking for me? - Well, I wasn't shooting
the breeze with him. - All right. Fantastic. That is great. Thank you. - What's going on? - Just, once again, you have done me no favors. - Dude, I'm about to
kick you in your softies if you don't start speaking English. - Well, you might have to stand in line. (tense music) Are you packing? - No. Why? - Well, they are, and they're
not afraid to shoot cops. - What did you do? - Just, I will tell you later. Can we go? (tense music swells) - They must have gone out the back. - (sighs) This would be a
good time to spill it, Bobby. - That guy Chet, we used to be friends. - Yeah? Okay. What'd you do to him? - It's more like what he did to me. - Are you really gonna
make me pry it outta you? - All right. I met someone. Lucy. (sighs) She was the first
person I met down here. We fell in love, did everything together, you know, yada yada. - Well, don't stop there. - I met Chet, his son Junior at, at work. And Chet and I started
hanging out with Lucy, partying, you know? And then she left me for Chet. It was just when I was kinda
getting my feet under me and finding myself or whatever. - Okay. So why are they after you? - They took off. Is it all there? - Time to go. - Man, I was, I was so mad, I just, but I put on a happy face,
invited Chet out for a beer, but I, (chuckles) you'll love this. I hired a young girl to flirt with him and of course he took the bait. He's a moron. And Lucy conveniently walked in, caught him in the act. - Well, no wonder he wants to shoot you. - Oh no. He never found out about that. - Wait, what? - When Lucy ran out on him, we went back to his
place to, you know, pout and he kept drinking, passed out, and then I took something he cared about. (phone ringing) - It's Chase.
- Your partner? - Yeah. Hey man, I got Bobby with me. - [Chet] Put Bobby on the phone. - Where's Chase? - Oh, he's sitting right here next to me. Here, say hello. - It's exhausting being your partner. - Hey man. You all right? - He's fine for now. Put Bobby on the phone. - You're on speaker. - [Chet] You know,
there's two things I hate, cops and thieves. - Oh, that's funny, 'cause I could say the
exact same thing, pal. - Where's my cards, Bobby? - They're on the table. Right where I left them. - All but two of them. And I want them back tonight or I'm gonna grab a shovel
and bury this cop alive. - Hey, if you become a cop killer, the only thing you're gonna be collecting is soap and cigarettes. Maybe even get lucky and play chess with a big fat guy named Bubba. - True. But are you willing to gamble
on your partner's life? - What kind of cards are we talking about? - Ask Bobby. - It's a LeBron James Topps rookie card, valued about three grand, and a Kobe Bryant Topps rookie card valued about five. - You still got the cards? - All right. Can I just give you five grand now and three next week? - It's not about the money. He stole something from
me and I want 'em back. - Hey you stole for me first, remember? - What? She made her own choice. Now you've got an hour to get my cards or I'm gonna put Chase in a hole. - Yo, scumbag. It's gonna take more than an
hour to get your cards back. Give us the night. We can meet up at Denny's tomorrow. I'll even buy you a pancake. - I'll call you in two hours
and you better have 'em. - Hey, nice work. You
got us an extra hour. - Are you kidding me?
- No. I mean, it's double. - My partner's about to get
buried for something you did and all you can do is make a joke? - You know what, spare me the righteous act, okay? I didn't ask you to come here. - I didn't even wanna come down here. - Well, then why did you? - (chuckles sarcastically) Can we just, can we please stick to
the problem at hand? - I think that's an excellent idea. - What'd you do with the cards? - I sold them. How do you think I'm paying my bills? - Well, can you get 'em back? - Probably. The Kobe card's gonna
be a bit tricky, though, 'cause his death put him
in pretty high demand. - Okay. What about card shops? - There's not that many around here and we're gonna kill a lot
of time getting to 'em. - How serious is this Chet? - Oh, he's a complete boob. He's a moron, but he's a moron who's been
in and outta jail assault. - All right. So what do we do? - Well, we're gonna
have to see if my buyers will sell them back to us, but I only got enough
to cover one of them. - I'll cover you. Just where do we go? - Just head back into town. Hey, what's up, Phil? - Hey Bobby. How's it going, man? You done with that game already? - Oh no. I gave up video games. Hey, remember that LeBron
card I sold you last week? You still got it? - Yeah, I do. I actually got it framed
right on my mantle. - Oh, sweet. That sounds cool. But hey, listen, I'm gonna need you to sell it back to me and I need it in like,
less than two hours. Otherwise a friend of mine, well, friend of ours, it, it's his friend. I don't even like him, but if I don't get that card back, he's gonna get hurt, so... - Okay. And this is a joke, right? - No. Nope. Not joking. - (laughs) Come on, man. I'm
not falling for that one. - Hey, we don't have time for this. All right? Now I can either beat you senseless or you can just tell me
what you want for the card. - I'll take six. - Come on, man. I sold it two for three. I can give you four. - I'll take six. - Come on, man. I don't have it. Can I owe you? - No, but I do have an idea. (audience yelling) - You want your card back? Beat Travis. You'll get your six grand. (audience cheering) - You wanna go first? - No, man. This is your wheelhouse. - It's your debt. - True. But it's your partner. - All right. Place some bets. Place some bets. (audience calling out indistinctly) - This guy, right?
- Yeah, Travis. - All right. - Are there any rules? (audience crying out)
(intense rock music) - Eli. Hey, stop blocking with your face. Come on, man, get up. (audience cheering) Come on! (audience crying out) (Eli groans) (audience calling out) Yes!
- Yeah! - Hey!
(ominous music) I don't think a choke should count. (audience cheering) - (laughs) Well, that was easy. - Yeah? Did you enjoy that? - Oh, absolutely. That was fun to watch. Thank you. - Yeah. You're a boob. - Man, would you relax? I made an extra three grand on you on top of the six that I just gave Phil. - You placed a bet. - Of course I did. - What is wrong with you? - Dude, you're a lock. I
knew you were gonna win. - You're killing me. How much time we got? - Looks like we have exactly, oh, you know what? The extra hour that you so
skillfully negotiated for us. Nice work, partner. - Who's got the other card? - Uh, I, I dunno. - You don't know?
- No, I sold it. - What do you mean, you don't know? - Well, I sold it online. - How we gonna get the other card, Bobby? - Okay. All right, all right. Good point. Let me think. Um... - You're killing me. - Uh, uh... Okay. I know a guy. He can get just about anything, but it's probably not gonna be legal. - What does that mean? - That means we could go to jail. - (sighs) We got an hour. Just make the call.
- All right. - Just make the call.
- I'll call him. Calling Jesse. - [Jesse] Well, if it
ain't Bobby Whitmore. - [Bobby] Hey, man. It's been a while. - Spare me. - [Jesse] Cut to the chase. I'm busy. - All right, all right,
all right, all right. I need a Kobe Bryant Topps rookie card. They go for about five grand. And I need it in like half an hour. Can you help me? - [Jesse] I can get it,
but it's gonna be 10 G. - Come on, man. You know
I don't have 10 grand. - [Jesse] It's a Kobe Bryant
card. It's a hot item. - I know. I know. But can you work some
of your magic for me? - [Jesse] Fine. How much you got? - I can give you eight. That's all I got. - [Jesse] Hope Church. 15 minutes. - (sighs) So is the black market, like, the new Amazon for you? - You always did see the best in me. - I, I'm just trying to understand. - I bought a few things for
Lucy when we were dating. I mean, you might have noticed they've been having trouble keeping the stores stocked up lately. - Inflation. Yeah, Chase talks about it all the time. - What kind of partner is Chase? - The kind that would
preach a whole sermon on you stealing his crackers. - Oh, really? Have some. The noble type, huh? - Yeah. By the book all the way. Drives me nuts. He's always talking about
the end of the world. He's a pain in the neck. - Was that like when God comes back and does the naughty-nice
thing, like Santa Claus? - (chuckles) That's what I said. Ah, he think all the bad in
the world's just Bible-related. - Well, at least he believes in something. (phone beeps) They're here. Want us
to meet him out back. - (sighs) All right, let's get this over with. - Bobby! Been a while. - Thanks for doing this so quick. - Payment. - Nice weather, huh? We good? - Yeah. We good. (ominous music) Chet and I go way back. Keep it, it's fake. (Bobby and Eli groaning in pain) - I hate you. - (sigh) I'm sorry, man. I, I didn't know they were besties. - Why'd he say it was a fake? - Because this is a reprint and I'm not an expert, but
this is not the original. - Of course it isn't. We got 40 minutes, man. You have any other ideas? Preferably ones that don't
involve getting pounded? I think we're gonna have
to give him the fake. - [Eli] Won't he notice?
I mean, he's no idiot. Well, he is an idiot, but
I mean, there's a chance. It's all I got. - It's Chase. Make the call, man. Just call him. - [Chet] You got my cards? - I got 'em. - [Chet] Send me a picture. - Sending it now. You get it? - [Chet] Meet me at our spot in an hour. - "Our" spot? Where's that at? - Camp Jewel. - Camp Jewel? That's our spot, man. - We gotta hike in. Let's go. (phone ringing) - Lieutenant. - [Ben] Did you find Bobby? - We ran into some complications. - [Ben] Well, I'm afraid
I've got some bad news. - What is it? - [Ben] I thought I was gonna
be able to get you back in for a promotion, but things are worse than I thought. - Well, sir, it wouldn't
be the first time. - [Ben] It's not just the promotion, Eli. (tense music)
I hate to say this, but they're making your
suspension permanent. I guess people are more unforgiving today than they were yesterday. - What about Chase? - [Ben] He's in the clear. - Sir, why are you telling me this now? This could have waited. - [Ben] Because I lied to you. I don't have a year, Eli. I couldn't go to work
today because of the pain. And in case anything happened
to me while you were gone, I wanted you to know I did my best. Do me a favor. If you find Bobby, tell him... - Lieutenant? Ben? - Why am I not surprised? You bring me in and you get
a nice promotion out of it. - That's not what this is about. - Oh, really? Come on. That's exactly
what it just sounded like. And I'm out here helping
you find your friend. - Oh, come on, man. I'm out here because of your brother. - The same brother who took your side and denied me a promotion? That one? - You weren't ready.
- Oh, and you were? You sabotaged me for your own gain. - That's not what happened. - You never cared about me or anybody. - Hey, that's not true. - It is true. - Don't shove me. - Better? - High or low?
- What? (tense music) - Shoulda picked one. That's enough. Stop. Stop.
- Get off me. - I applied for sergeant after you quit. After. Rachel was already struggling
as a single parent. I thought that if I, if I made more money, I'd be able to help support her and she could take care of Lizzy. I was desperate, willing to do anything just to, to make up for not being there. I still am. - You almost made a believer outta me. Finish it yourself. - Hey, look who's righteous now. - Time's up. Start digging. - What, you couldn't wait? - That's far enough. (Junior groans) - You don't get to put your hands on me. - Hey. Slow down, Turbo. Where's Bobby? - He bailed on me. You want the stupid cards or not? - That sounds like Bobby. Hand them over. - There. You got your cards. Now let's put this to bed. - You'll wait. You didn't think I'd notice a fake card? - Wait, what? - Don't play stupid with me. - How you know it's a fake? - Because I know. Bobby should have known. Well, that's probably why he's not here, which is unfortunate for you. - Why is it unfortunate? - 'Cause I'm gonna shoot you. - So wait, if Bobby were
here, you wouldn't shoot me? - I'd shoot you both. - Okay, so you're gonna shoot me when Bobby stole the cards. I don't even like the guy. - You're really
aggravating, you know that? That's why you're gonna watch me shoot your partner first. - Chet. Stop. - Well, this makes things interesting. - I got what you want. - What do you know? It is my card. - You had that the whole time? - Are we good? - We're good. You're not. (tense music) - Whoa, wait. What are you doing? - You know the thing about small towns? People just love to spread secrets. What's worse is when
the secret's about you. You find out your friend hired somebody to sabotage their relationship. - You knew the whole time? - Yeah. I just wanted my cards back first. - You never even cared about Lucy. - That may be so, but nobody likes being the butt of a joke. (Eli groans) - That's enough. No more. You hear me? I don't care what
you guys did to each other. Get over it and move on. Get up. You know you can go away for
life for trying to kill a cop? Believe in second chances? Take what you came for and go. - How's the arm? - Fine. It's just a graze. - Did you have to hit me? - That's for making me
fight a 10-foot redneck. - But did you have to hit me? - Why were you hanging onto that card? - I wanted to give it to Lizzy. - Why'd you come back? - We're not all that different. I wanted that promotion
so that I could, you know, immerse myself in work and I wouldn't have to think about... - Going to see Lizzy? (melancholy music) I know what you mean. - That was quite the cowboy act. - Sounds like my brother. - It's called castling. In chess, you gotta make sacrifices. - Well, you're about to make another one. - What? - Dinner's on you. (upbeat rock music) - Noble type. Well, thanks for the ride. - Hey, wait, wait, wait. When you left, I didn't want another partner. So when the promotion came around- - I get it. Besides, now you got a new partner who can put up with your crap. - Half the time. Hey, Bobby. I have a hunch that Lizzy's not gonna care
if this is a fake or not. - Thanks. - All right. (upbeat rock music continues) - So do you think he's gonna come back? - Well, you can lead a horse to water. - Hey, who ate all my crackers? (upbeat rock music continues) (dog toy squeaks)
- Dang it, Loki. Are you my partner? (knocking on door) (knocking on door continues) All right, all right, hang on. (Eli groans) - It's noon. Just now getting up? - Long night. - I should have brought
you a quad from God. - It's all good, man. What's going on? - I got a call from the lieutenant. They're lifting my suspension. I can return to work immediately. - I'm happy for you. I really am. - Look, man. I'm sorry. The suspension is one thing. Termination? I've known officers getting
away with a lot more. - It is what it is. It's not your fault. - Bit of good news, though. Lieutenant said Bobby showed
up at 8 AM this morning. Yeah, I guess he's gonna be
staying with him for a while. You'll probably get a
thank-you phone call soon. - Well, it looks like, looks like everything worked out, then. - So what are you gonna do? - I don't know. Maybe play more chess. - Seriously, though. If you ever need anything, you know I'm just a phone call away. - Got it. - Oh, hey. For life? - For life. (Eli gasps) (melancholy music) (jet plane roaring) (dog toy squeaks) Ow. (Eli groans in pain) - He's gone. Ben is gone. We were just sitting there talking, laughing, playing a game of rummy. And he just... - What about Rachel, Lizzy? - I, I don't know. - Bobby. Bobby, gimme the gun. - I came back. I made peace with my brother. I did everything right, right? I... And now this. I... (melancholy music) - Bobby give me the-
- No. You don't get to be the cowboy this time. You don't get to save me. - Take it easy. All right? Take it easy. I'm not trying to save you. I'm the one that needs saved, Bobby. I can't do this on my own, Bobby. I can't. I need you. Will you help me? I'm your brother too, Bobby. Please. Gimme the gun. I got you, man. I got you. We'll get through this together. Hey. Hey, listen. Gimme that. What do you say we go
to Rachel's together. Huh? Come on. We go together. Come on. Let's go. Everyone thinks they have the
answer to finding redemption. You just say you're sorry. Or you do acts of kindness. Love without expecting. Make sure your good
outweighs your bad karma. Your truth is your truth. My truth is my truth. But what does it matter what we think? In the end, there's only truth. One truth, one way. It's not about what we must do. It's about what somebody
already did for us. (melancholy music continues) - [Captain Jensen] Yeah. Hello, Eli. It's Captain Jensen down at the station. We could really, really use a hand down here. Gimme a call. (discordant string music) - Did you know this was gonna happen? - I thought it was a fairytale. - How come nobody told me? (discordant music swells) Well, do you know? (melancholy music) (melancholy music continues)
