Bosch
All S1

S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Follows Bradley to underground subway access who finds a gun] Police. Drop your weapon.

BWBradley Walker

Detective Harry Bosch. No backup?

Drop the weapon.

BWBradley Walker

Shoot me, Harry. That's what you want to do. [Jerry Edgar walks down stairs] You're the cop who makes his own rules. Finds his own justice. FID will clear you.

Surely.

BWBradley Walker

I have a loaded weapon. Here's your chance.

And make it easy for you? You're good for the murders of Howard Elias and Lanny Johnson. Then there's Caffrey, the other victims of the River Watch arson. And Marjorie Lowe.

BWBradley Walker

I have no idea who you're talking about.

City Hotel, 1978. She was a call girl. You strangled her. Left her in a Dumpster.

BWBradley Walker

You're greedy, Bosch. Just do it.

A man's got to be accountable for what he's done.

BWBradley Walker

Death cheats the system.

And I'm gonna make sure you spend the rest of your fucking life in Pelican Bay solitary. You won't do well in prison.

BWBradley Walker

Elias broke our contract. We had a business arrangement. Out of nowhere, he decides to destroy my ability to get funding for development. Everything my foundation has done, my family name.

Drop the weapon, Walker.

BWBradley Walker

Forget the rest of them. There's only one murder that matters to you, right? And the only satisfaction you'll get for that is killing me. Anything else, I feel I'd be cheating you. [Stamps on phone camera light on ground and fires gun at Harry who disappears before the fired shot who appears alongside Bradley gun at his head]

Drop the fucking gun. Drop it. Get on your knees. Put your hands on your head.

BWBradley Walker

Here we are.

No. Here you are.

BWBradley Walker

Just say it.

That you killed her.

BWBradley Walker

You know, some people are the guardians of progress. We build the cities, we... we walk you to the future. Sometimes, other people... get in the way. Marjorie Lowe was a whore. She knew the game. I paid her for certain services, things went awry.

She was my mother.

BWBradley Walker

She was a whore who let them take her son away.

[Points gun at Bradley's forehead] You murdered my mother, you pig.

BWBradley Walker

I did. Sorry.

J. Edgar, you heard that?

I heard it, Harry.

BWBradley Walker

It's not admissible.

Securing the weapon.

BWBradley Walker

He had a gun to my head, you saw it.

Cuff him, call it in.

BWBradley Walker

I didn't fire, Jerry.

I know. Murder weapon in his hand. We have him dead to rights for Elias.

BWBradley Walker

I want a lawyer.

You heard everything? [Jerry nods] All I need. It's done.

PPowers

Where's she from?

MMankiewicz

Wilshire, D2 Robbery.

PPowers

A transfer? What, taking a plum seat at the Homicide table?

MMankiewicz

[smugly] Comes down to who you know.

PPowers

[closes the filing cabinet he'd opened and sits down at his desk] Well who wants to know you?

MMankiewicz

What are you insinuating?

PPowers

Might be Lt.'s next ex. I'm just sayin'.

MMankiewicz

Clearly the online sensitivity training isn't working for you. Let's find you something to do; keep the mind occupied, so your mouth stays shut.

You found your calling. Don't even have to glove up.

PPowers

A little early for busting balls.

Try not to hurt anybody with that thing, Powers.

PPowers

Fucking Bosch...

[To Agent Brenner] This you bigfooting my case in the name of national security?

HHobbs

[In street wrapped in just a blanket] Minding my own business is all I'm saying.

BJBarrel Johnson

Harassing tourists again.

CMCrate Moore

Panhandling.

BJBarrel Johnson

While nude.

HHobbs

I get overheated some days. It's man-opause.

BJBarrel Johnson

Where are said clothes?

HHobbs

I stashed them with my tent behind a planter at the W.

CMCrate Moore

Wait, you walked half a mile from the W Hotel full frontal?

HHobbs

Well, I had to air my bits out. And I didn't get a second glance until I arrived here.

BJBarrel Johnson

He'll be back out on the street before we finish doing the paperwork.

CMCrate Moore

Perhaps I can convince our reporting citizen that relocation and a stern warning will suffice, hmm? [Walks away]

AVAntonio Valens

[Browsing albums at a vinyl records store] Come on. [Madeline shows him Art Pepper Today album] Art Pepper. Hm.

He's got a song on this album that he wrote for his daughter. He wrote it because he wasn't around much when she was growing up. My dad used to play it for me.

AVAntonio Valens

So you can relate? Song's about you?

Used to be. Not anymore.

AVAntonio Valens

I'd like to meet him.

Art Pepper? He's dead. [Both laugh]

AVAntonio Valens

No, your dad. Mister Old School.

Really?

AVAntonio Valens

Yeah. We should all grab a bite sometime.

He's not the most social person.

AVAntonio Valens

I suck at small talk myself, so maybe we'll just sit in silence.

[Chuckles] In that case, he might actually like you.

AVAntonio Valens

And that'd be a surprise? [They kiss and he takes album from her'] I'm gonna get this.

You don't have a turntable.

AVAntonio Valens

I'll buy one. [Pecks her on cheek and walks away]

Got plans tonight?

Get this wiretap signed, walk my dog. Thrilling.

You're like a monk in a monastery up on that hill.

I dig wearing those robes. I've noticed that you and Bennett have become rather chummy these days.

[Chuckles] No comment.

I thought so. Catch you tomorrow.

All right, partner. Have a good one. [Walks to his vehicle and Bosch walks to his vehicle but unable to drive out the lot due to Dax and his sidekick blocking path recording with phones]

DDax

The deep state let you go. Detective Harry Bosch. Badge number 2997. Get his plate.

That's enough. Clear out so I can exit.

DDax

Not even pretending to be a free citizen today, Detective? Registration's almost expired.

Clear the driveway so I can exit.

DDax

No seat belt. Damn shame. Hope your daughter wears hers.

What did you say?

DDax

Young lady in her prime, whole life ahead of her. [Harry gets out vehicle and walks up to Dax's face] Get this, get this.

The fսck did you just say?

[Runs over] Harry!

Back the fսck up. You mention my daughter again and they'll be scraping you off the pavement with a fսcking spatula!

Come on, man, he's not even worth it. Don't give 'em the satisfaction. [To Dax] Get the fսck out of here! Go!

DDax

Fսcking pig.

[In office] So when does Kennedy lower the boom?

We're meeting with Chandler this morning.

She'll be looking to renegotiate.

Won't she be surprised?

This Three Oh Eight video that dropped last night...

Nothing to worry about in my view.

They're still persons of interest in the Craver murder.

Got to follow every lead.

[Gets up with Harry and Jerry then getting up] Tread lightly with these people.

Yes, sir. [Walks away with Jerry]

AKAlex Kennedy

Chandler will try to get this suppressed. Her chances? [Phone beeps] Slim to none. [Turns on speaker phone]

SSecretary

It's Honey Chandler.

MMaxwell

Speak of the devil. Send her in, please.

We went by the book. The tape will hold up.

"Conspiracy supersedes consent."

HCHoney Chandler

[Entering room, sarcastically to still seated Harry, Maxwell and Alicia] Please don't stand on my account. [Sits in chair] May I? For the record?

AKAlex Kennedy

Go ahead.

HCHoney Chandler

Three days ago, Clifford Maxwell was killed by the FBI as they attempted to take him into custody for the murder of Stanley Kent.

AKAlex Kennedy

We won't revisit the plea deal.

HCHoney Chandler

Not asking you to. Mrs. Kent is ready to accept the plea and proceed immediately to sentencing.

AKAlex Kennedy

In fact, we're pulling it.

HCHoney Chandler

I'm sorry?

AKAlex Kennedy

The plea agreement. We're pulling it. We have new evidence that your client has been less than truthful in her proffer. We're filing additional charges against her for the murder of her husband.

HCHoney Chandler

What new evidence? Come on, don't be coy. I'll get it in discovery. [Alex facially cues to Harry]

We have Alicia Kent on tape planning her husband's murder with her lover, FBI Agent Clifford Maxwell.

JMJohn Mankiewicz

[Proposing a toast at the Boardners Bar with all forces colleagues] Hey, uh, everybody? Guys? Ladies? Let's raise our glass. A toast to Ryan Rodgers.

BBarrel

Hо, hо!

JMJohn Mankiewicz

That's right, a Native Son of the Golden West. As Ryan-o liked to say, you know, besides his drop-dead good looks, he had something else in common with Robert Redford, he was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. You know, back when it was still orange groves and lemon trees, and woolly mammoths roamed the Earth... that kind of thing. As a cop, he bled blue, as his many awards and citations for valor will attest. As a homicide detective, he distinguished himself with his dogged dedication to the victims and his tenacity in pursuing the perpetrators. But above all, as a comrade and a friend, Ryan Rodgers always had another tall tale to tell, was always good for another round and always, always... always had your back. To Ryan Rodgers, big man, big heart. Ryan-o!

ACAll colleagues

Ryan-o! [They all drink]

MMelissa

[Whispers to John] Thank you.

JMJohn Mankiewicz

You're welcome.

LAPD's finest. There's a reason all these old-school guys are here to celebrate your dad.

MMelissa

Besides free drinks?

Yeah.

BBarrel

[Chuckles] Ryan Rodgers was a cop's cop. Everybody mattered.

MMelissa

Except us.

That's not true, Melissa. You and your mother are what mattered most of all. Your dad just went through a rough patch.

BBarrel

Oldest story in the book. The family takes the hit, always.

Chief.

MMelissa

Chief.

Melissa. I'm so sorry for your loss.

MMelissa

Thank you for coming. Dad would have been pleased.

He was a real credit to the department. I considered him a friend.

MMelissa

But when the job was getting to be too much for him, you exiled him to Pacific Division.

That's not how it happened.

MMelissa

Final straw, graveyard shift. Broke up their marriage. He was more distant, more isolated than ever.

You should know, your father volunteered for the late show.

MMelissa

Why would he do that?

To shield his family from what troubled him.

MMelissa

By cutting himself off from us? It didn't work. [Walks away]

[Walking through security detector] Yeah, right there on the belt. Your boss says Chandler's chances of getting the tape tossed are slim to none.

HBHannah Blair

I'd say closer to none, but it's the judge's call.

If she succeeds?

HBHannah Blair

We've got the wiretaps, spy cam footage. We'll be fine.

[Madeline stands up from bench and walks with them] Hey, Mads. I thought you weren't coming.

Changed my mind. I want to see Chandler in action. [They get seated and she looks back and whispers referring to Heather seated in back row of spectating section] What's she doing here?

Let's find out. [Walks up to her, to Heather] Thought you didn't believe in our legal system.

HSHeather Strout

That woman and her FBI lover boy... they got my husband killed. Make me a believer, Detective. Put her away. [Grabs backpack] You want to check it?

I do. [Opens backpack and searches it, holds up pamphlet]

HSHeather Strout

Should go ahead and take one. Help you see through all the bullshit lies and happy talk. [Judge announces in session of court] Show's starting, Detective. Better go sit with the other sheep.

Create any sort of disturbance in here, you're going to jail.

[Madeline sets down bowls of Fettuccini Alfredo] Is this, uh... Fettuccini Alfredo. I'm impressed.

I made the pasta noodles myself.

I'm very impressed.

It's- it's easy as making it from the box.

[Looking beyond her to kitchen counter] Yeah. That can't be true.

Eyes on the food. Dad, there's nothing to see over there.

What am I gonna do when you go back to school? Learn to cook?

Fat chance. I ran into Honey Chandler today. She wants me back next summer.

That what you want?

I'm not sure what I want.

Second thoughts about the law?

About everything.

You'll figure it out. Hope so. Hey, Mads, you will.

Did you go through this when you were my age?

No. I knew what I had to do.

I wish I did.

It's different, Mads. You have choices. I didn't.

JAJacques Avril

I was recently approached by a drug dealer. Something of a kingpin. A Dominican fellow. Thought I might be interested in a business opportunity.

To deal drugs?

JAJacques Avril

To use my charity to launder his I'argent. Clean his filthy cash.

So, what did you say to him?

JAJacques Avril

What could I say? No, of course.

So, what am I doing here?

JAJacques Avril

I am an honest citizen. It is my duty to report this man to the law.

You have a name?

JAJacques Avril

Felix Mariama.

I'll look into it.

JAJacques Avril

Merci. Oh, one more thing. I know the names of the men who killed your two detectives.

I'm listening.

JAJacques Avril

John Winston and Robert Marvel. My cover's blown. No doubt. And my fucking CI killed your cops.

CHCharlie Hovan

My cover's blown.

No doubt.

CHCharlie Hovan

And my fucking CI killed your cops.

Mm-hmm.

CHCharlie Hovan

Shit. You believe him?

He wouldn't do this if he couldn't deliver. Betraying people when expedient. Trading information. It's what Avril does, how he survives.

CHCharlie Hovan

It's a big risk. Jakes could flip on him.

Who's gonna believe the word of two cop killers? [Charlie speaks Spanish] I don't know what that means.

CHCharlie Hovan

We got to be very careful with this motherfucker. Okay. Let's dial in RHD. See what we can salvage.

Already put in a call.

CHCharlie Hovan

You let me know when and where.
