[Phones ringing]

J.c.: ♪ feliz navidad ♪

♪ ba-da-da-da ♪

♪ feliz navidad ♪

♪ ba-da-da-da ♪

Why, if it isn't the puerto
rican Santa claus here.

You gonna tell me if I've
been naughty or nice?

You have definitely
been naughty.

And don't even think
about sitting' on my lap,

all right?

Yeah, all this
stuff you got here,

you ain't got nothing'
for your brother?

This is for my
nieces and nephews.

For El dia de tres reyes, okay?

This is the United States.

You want to speak
American, please?

Okay, let me break
it down for you.

Three kings day.

It's an island tradition.

Wise men give out
gifts to all the ninos.

Let me guess. You the wise man.

Yeah, well, if you
call going' broke

every year buying'
gifts wise, that's me.

[Phone rings]

Yo, Williams.

Hey, Jimmy, what's up?

We were just talking'
about Ed's family.

A favor for you?

He'd love to do it.

Today? All right.

He'll be here.

[Hangs up]

[Laughs]

[Speaks Spanish]

You don't want to do a favor
for your own brother, man?

A priest?

Yo, if he wants me to
be an altar boy, cool.

But I got, what... no money.

Cooper: Torres. Williams.

We got an emergency.

[Sighs]

An armored car heist?

Shouldn't that go to the feds?

Yeah, well, the
transport company

isn't federally insured,

so they're not touching it.

Anybody get hurt?

Yeah, we got a
man down, detective,

so let's move it.

Merry Christmas.

Feliz navidad.

[Police radio chatter]

Tanelli: Frank made his
delivery, just like usual.

He was just getting
out of his truck,

and this ski mask man jumps
out of a Van and shoots him.

What, you didn't
even try to stop him?

What, for five bucks an hour?

What do you think, I'm crazy?

This guy had an U*i.

J.c.: But did the ski mask
guy steal the armored truck?

Tanelli: No, no, he
jumped back in his Van.

That's how I know
frank's partner is in on it.

Partner?

You mean there was
another driver who took off

- with the money?
- Yeah, I saw him do it.

It was this, uh,

puerto rican guard
named Vincent varela.

- Hold this.
- Yeah.

So, listen, before
any of this happened,

did this varela guy
seem suspicious to you?

Anything out of the ordinary?

Nah. He was by the book
when he made his pick-ups,

that's all I know.

It pissed frank off, he
was such a straight arrow.

Yo, company confirms
varela was the other driver.

Address on 117th, kid.

- All right.
- Let's go.

Enjoy.

[R&b music playing]

[Woman screams]

Eddie: Police!

[Suspenseful music playing]

Eddie: Police!
Hold it right there!

I need back-up!

[Speaking Spanish]

According to his
mother, Vincent's a Saint.

Moved back in after the marines.

Works all day and goes
to city college at night.

Any accomplices?

She says she's never
seen him with anyone.

Not even a girl.

Says he's always too busy.

So the boy organizes
a robbery like this,

and his mother knows
nothing' about it?

Would you tell your moms?

I wouldn't have to.

The minute I shut up is
when she gets suspicious.

She did mention one thing.

About a year ago,
right after Vincent

went back to school,
he got this weird tattoo.

A little red bird with
two sets of wings.

Let's go talk to the lieutenant.

Cooper: Varela's
record is spotless.

There's not even
a parking ticket.

So you don't think that
tattoo was g*ng-related?

The way this robbery
was pulled off?

I agree with torres,
I think we're dealing

with a higher level
of professional here.

We found that the armored car
and the Van while you were gone.

There's no prints,
and the Van was rented

under a very well
documented pseudonym.

So you think this kid is tied
into some big crime syndicate?

No, what we got is
a first-time offender

who disappears into
thin air with $500,000.

I'm sure his accomplices
weren't exactly amateurs.

All right, I got a call into
the t*rror1st task force.

Until they get back to
us, I want you two to check

the tattoo files,
and then get out

on the street and
see what the word

is about this Vincent
varela. Okay?

Eddie: Oh, man,
there's my brother.

J.c.: He's smiling at you, papa.

Eddie: Yeah, you
know what that means.

He's gonna ask me for something.

Later.

- Jimmy.
- Jimmy: How you doing'?

[Speaks Spanish]

So, j.C. Told me you,
uh, needed something.

Actually, I heard you
might need something.

This is Luis moreno.

Luis, this is my
brother, detective torres.

- [Speaking Spanish]
- [Speaking Spanish]

Uh, Mr. Moreno is
here visiting my parish.

He's giving a donation, and
he's going to need someone

to do security at the ceremony.

Teresa told me you
might need the money, so...

Uh, why don't you sit down?

So, what exactly are
you worried about,

- Mr. Moreno?
- Back home,

I have a lot of enemies.

Well, you have a little
success, people without it

start to resent you.

Even up here?

On the island,

boriquas have 40% unemployment.

And in New York, who knows?

It might even be worse.

So how long would
you need me for?

Luis: A few hours,
during the ceremony.

Plus whatever time
you need to prepare.

[Phone rings]

Excuse me.

[Luis speaking Spanish]

Mira, I'll take this
call, and you consider.

I think for this job, $1,000
would be reasonable.

Jimmy, is this guy legit?

He's an entrepreneur,
Eddie, relax.

He's got a ton of machine
factories all over Puerto Rico.

So, you gonna do it?

For $1,000?

Tell him we'll go over
some plans on Thursday.

Thanks. Listen, I gotta go.

Eddie: All right.

[Speaking Spanish]

You're getting hugged
from your brother like that?

You know that that could
have never happened

if it wasn't for me.

All right. Okay,
papi. Gracias, okay?

So now, tell me
about the tattoo.

Nothing', man.

I looked in the file.

Think it's time to roll on Rick.

Let's do this, man.

[Hip-hop music playing]

J.c.: Yo, santy claus,
what's your hurry, man?

Where's your reindeer at, Rick?

Rick: They got
jacked last night,

along with my sleigh. Did
you guys found them already?

Well, I've been a good boy.

Why don't you Grant me
my wish and check this out?

What's he supposed to
be, some kind of crook?

'Cause I never seen him.

What does the name
Vincent varela mean to you?

Hey, it means you two hounds
got somebody new to harass.

So, listen, if you don't mind,

I'm gonna hurry to take
my nephews someplace.

Nephews?

What are you talking
about, nephews?

Since when did you
start running field trips?

Since about five
minutes ago, when I heard

there's some radical
up at this party

giving away free toys.

Radicals?

What are you talking
about, radicals?

Well, he's handing' out flyers

that say Puerto Rico
this, Puerto Rico that.

So, if you don't mind,
merry Christmas!

[Hip-hop theme playing]

Cooper: Toys were
purchased in Jersey

two hours after the robbery.

Cash.

Serial numbers on the money
show it was from the armored car.

So we're connecting
varela to this toy giveaway?

They couldn't lift prints
off that king's costume,

but we're assuming the
man's one of his accomplices.

Lieutenant, are you
saying that we're dealing

with some sort of
latino Robin hood here?

[Scoffs] Not exactly.

The task force
took one look at this,

and they're convinced
varela's working

with this group
called los macheteros.

J.c.: Los macheteros.
Never heard of them.

It's a puerto rican
movement. Organized.

They want independence
from the U.S.

Cooper: Yeah, well, that's
their agenda, detective,

but the truth is that
they're criminals.

They pulled off a
bank robbery in 1984.

Five million dollars.

They used the money to b*mb
a marine facility in San Juan.

So why would los
macheteros be giving' away

free stuff up here?

Because they want the
people to support them.

I mean, I heard about
them when I was growing' up.

They call what they're
doing' "la lucha."

The struggle.

T.t.f. Say they like to
recruit from up here.

You know, community
organizations,

political groups,
city college...

Varela was a
student at city college.

His mother told us

that right after classes started

is when he got that
tattoo.[Cooper scoffs]

One month in political science,

he turns into fidel Castro.

Eddie: No, no, we went
awol from the military

after getting into a
fight with an officer.

Maybe he was
about ready for some

anti-American indoctrination.

Yeah, and a little
re-education, t*rror1st style.

I think it's about
time we do the same.

All right, you listen to me.

About two years ago,
one of the task force

tried to infiltrate
these same people.

He was pretty good.

He got a few photos
of some faces.

They thought he was in.

A few weeks later,
he turns up dead.

J.c.: Then, what?

We let go of the only
lead that we have?

Cooper: No, I'm not saying that.

What I'm saying is
that we have to know

what we're up against here.

Ed can sit in varela's classes.

I can continue to take photos.

If any one of them match,
then we'll find los macheteros.

Cooper: You all
right with that, torres?

Yeah, I'm down.

All right, I'm gonna
call headquarters.

We're gonna need cars
and dummy apartments.

Eddie: I mean, it's like
George Washington



All they want is
their own country.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

That's all in how
you look at it.

Crooks or revolutionaries.

Twenty-five years ago,

my grandfather almost
got k*lled standing up

for his independence.

Yeah, but was he robbing a bank?

Or was he throwin'
some tea in the harbor?

He was carrying a sign
that said "Puerto Rico libre."

And when he passed
away and my moms

was taking care of him,
the last thing he said was,

"I'm dying for the cause."

Yo, ed, I'm real sorry
about what happened

to your grandfather, but
varela's boys shot someone.

As long as I'm wearing' a
badge, it's my cause to catch him.

You need some help, man?

Thanks.

I'm Jaime Leon. Remember?

We're in the same
history class together.

Oh, yeah.

You came in late, right?

Yeah, well, you know,

last time I was in
school I was too busy

hanging with my crew
to keep like a schedule.

[Chuckles] Yeah,
I hear you, man.

I guess we all had our
days as traviosos, right?

You could've fooled
me. I mean, like,

hanging up all these
papers on these trees.

Yeah, it's papers now.

But a few years back...

I was spray painting' walls,
man, not pinning stuff up.

You sure you can't
use any more help?

'Cause I'd really like to get
down on something positive.

No, I'm almost finished.

But if you really want
in on something, man,

I'm putting these up for

a puerto rican
organizing committee.

Maybe I'll see you there.

Yeah.

Maybe you will.

[Jazz instrumental
music playing]

J.c.: So, I ran the
file on that photo.

Guy's name is Raul Sanchez,

a suspected machetero.

He gave me an invitation
to a political meeting

at this local community center.

Something' about

new military bases
in Puerto Rico.

[Car engine starts]

- Does loo know we're going?
- Yeah.

And the plan is, she's
gonna send in some unis

- to scare this guy Sanchez.
- Heh.

And what if he runs?

Then we'll know he's hot.

And if I help him escape,

maybe he'll lead
us to Vincent varela.

[Cheers and applause]

[Speaking Spanish]

[Man speaks Spanish]

Next week, next week
the senate is voting

to build another military
installation in Puerto Rico...

- [Speaks Spanish]
- Woman: But boriquacannot

be involved in the imperialism!

- Hey, pop.
- [Speaking Spanish]

- [Speaking Spanish]
- Woman: We have to... we have to

oppose this vote
here in New York,

because on the island,

they have no direct
representation.

- That's right.
- Just like when my family left.

Woman: And they're
using our land...

- Not a damn thing has changed.
- Woman: To dominate

our brothers and our
sisters all over the Caribbean.

[Crowd murmuring]

What are you gonna do?

[Indistinct chatter]

[Suspenseful music playing]

[Speaks Spanish]

The police want to search
for a suspect, and then...

[Crowd clamoring]

[Woman speaking Spanish]

Woman: The police want
to search for a suspect,

and then we can continue...

[Crowd continues clamoring]

[Both panting]

Oye. Gracias, jaime.

It was nothing, man.

I could see you needed
to get out of there.

So...

Aren't you gonna ask
me why I was running?

Hey, I'm sure whatever you did,

it was for the struggle, right?

Maybe.

So, uh... What do you
know about "la lucha"?

Not much, you know.

Except that it
makes sense to me.

I mean, I spent two years
in the service for this country.

I don't see why us boriquas

can't fight for our
own land, you know.

[Siren wailing in distance]

So where'd you serve, man?

Marines.

Force recon.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Same here.

Two years, hand-to-hand.

- Covert.
- Really?

Till I figured out I was fighting
on the wrong side, man.

So who are you fighting for now?

I mean, because
whoever they are,

I'm ready to do my thing
for them, too, you know?

Look...

Why don't you meet me
tomorrow after class, all right?

Maybe we'll talk more then, huh?

[Ominous music playing]

It's Raul.

Yeah, we might have some heat.

But I think I found someone
who might help us finish.

Nah, I haven't told
him anything yet.

But I think we can trust him.

Oye, jaime.

- What's up, man?
- What's up, man?

Listen, I talked to some people.

And if you're serious, the
movement can use you.

Yeah, well, I'm serious, bro.

When can I meet them?

- Not just yet.
- Why not?

Because.

It's like it was with the
squadron or with your crew.

First things first, man.

You gotta prove yourself.

[Eddie scoffs]

So, what, are you gonna jump me

into the g*ng or something?

If you really want to serve,

there's someone we
need taking care of.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Whoever it is, man.

Just show me.

All right.

So you're telling me
that the macheteros

want to k*ll this guy moreno?

Yeah. They say he's
giving that donation

just to make sure
the voters up here

- support that senate bill.
- The one that's gonna help

build that military
base in Puerto Rico?

Apparently he
makes all his money

from us defense contracts

and that's just the kind of
thing the movement hates.

Do they want to
hurt your brother?

I don't think so. They
just want to make sure

that moreno doesn't go
through with this public ceremony.

All right. Well,
the only problem is

even if we arrest this Raul,

we still don't have anything
to tie him to the robbery.

Well, that's why ed
and I need to continue.

Do you have a plan, detective?

Mm-hmm. We ask Chang
to bring moreno in here,

and when he gets here,
we'll go over it with him then.

I'm sorry, but no.

There's no way I'm
going to let t*rrorists

stand in my way.

Listen, Mr. Moreno,

what we're talking about here

is for your own safety.

Then you don't understand.

If my money can
influence this vote,

it'll mean thousands
of jobs for Puerto Rico.

And that's a helluva lot more

than these so-called
independistas

have ever done for our people.

Senor, no one is asking
you to change your mind.

No one is asking you
to withdraw your money.

Just call off the ceremony,

and that will help us
bring these guys down.

What exactly would
you want me to do?

All right, the macheteros know

you're going to rehearse at
the church tomorrow at 4:00,

and at least one of them
is going to be watching.

So when I run out
and try to attack you,

I'm going to have detective
Williams here run out

- and save you.
- You think that will stop them?

If we play it right,

it should lead us to a
guy named Vincent varela.

Now, he's the only
one that we need

to bust all of these guys.

The department appreciates
your cooperation, Mr. Moreno.

Cooper: You can
come with me now.

I'm going to have Chang

stay with him until tomorrow.

Gracias, amigo.
Protection like this

is worth a lot more
than I'm paying you.

[Sighs deeply]

What's he talking
about, paying you?

Jimmy hooked me up
to do security for him.

But if I'd have known
that's what he was doing,

I might have said no.

'Cause of his politics?

Because he's turning Puerto Rico

into his own private
little g*n factory.

Yeah, well, at least
he's bringing some dinero

- for your peoples.
- What good is money

if he's selling out
the whole island?

That's easy for you to say, ed,

'cause your a*s ain't
there starving to death.

See, that's ignorance
for you, right there.

Nah, nah.

It's reality, my brother.

Eddie: Don't tell
me about reality.

I know my history:


Rico is still a colony.

Ed, I think those
macheteros are getting to you.

Well, maybe
they're getting to me

because what
they're saying is right.

So what you gonna do, join 'em?

I already did.

Hey, ed, ed...

Are you going to be
able to do this job with me,

or do I need to tell
Coop you're in too deep?

Don't worry about me.

I'll be ready for tomorrow.

[Hip-hop music playing]

[g*nsh*t]

[Tires screeching]

- He isn't dead.
- What happened?

Jaime got surprised by
some guy doing security.

He fought him off,
but moreno got away.

Mira, we have orders.

We have to stop him before
we leave with the money.

We've got one more chance.

Someone can take him
out if he goes through

with the ceremony at the church.

No, no. We're all too hot.

You think your
compa'll try it again?

Raul: Maybe.

With the right support.

And if he knows for
sure the macheteros

are helping him escape.

Yeah, I think it's time
we bring Jaime in.

La lucha.

All: La lucha.

[Woman singing in Spanish]

I guess you know what
I'm here about, right?

I can't call it off, ed.

Moreno gave me an ultimatum.

No public ceremony, no
church donation, okay?

So you gonna let him
buy you out like that?

Don't you realize
what's at stake here?

Yeah, what's at stake here
is homeless kids, all right?

Keeping a roof over their
heads. You know, I got

a housing program
that's thousands in debt.

You don't even
understand this, man.

This cash is an
answer to my prayers.

So it doesn't matter to
you how he got it, right?

Or are you willing to
take drug money now, too?

Moreno's hardly a drug dealer.

What he's doing down
there is perfectly legal,

even if grandfather, or you,

or anybody doesn't
agree with it, okay?

What about you?

Do you agree with it?

Yeah, I do.

I think it's good what he's
doing down on the island,

and I think it's good that he's
going through with the ceremony.

I'm gonna to have
full scale protection

for your parishioners.

But if you're up
there with moreno,

there is no guarantee
you're going to be safe.

This is about public opinion.

There's no way they're going
to go sh**ting up a church.

Now, come on.

You got a lot more faith
in these people than I do.

I know what's going on, ed.

But if I got a choice between
saving my kids' lives and mine,

that's a chance
I'm willing to take.

There's gonna be officers
down there in the morning.

You just do what
they tell you, okay?

You're not going to the church?

I've been going
undercover with the men

that tried to k*ll moreno.

You be careful,
hermanito, all right?

[Speaks Spanish]

[Sighs deeply]

Don't worry about me.

You just keep
praying, all right?

Go ahead.

[Latin music playing]

[Foreboding music playing]

[Upbeat music playing]

[Grunts]

Raul: You see how easy that was?

The movement needs more help.

And we can help you...

If you're ready.

I'm ready.

[Sighs]

The first people in boriqua...

Were tainos.

And the warriors...
Had a secret.

This symbol.

Red for blood, and four wings.

Two to escape with,

and the other two
to lose in battle.

Are you ready to
shed blood for boriqua?

[Ominous theme playing]

He's in?

[Speaking Spanish]

[Speaking Spanish]

I've seen him before.

Somewhere.

Raul can check him out
more before tomorrow.

Nah, we'll do it ourselves.

And if he's not
clean, he's dead.

The macheteros picked
me up in a Van this morning,

and Vincent varela
was the driver.

- You sure it was him?
- Positive.

Raul Sanchez was
in on the robbery,

and this other guy lucio
did the toy giveaway.

Do you have any
idea where they are?

Well, we can run
an apb on the Van,

but if we don't find it,
Raul's gonna pick me up

- at the college in two hours.
- What about the other two men?

They're gonna meet us at
the church to take out moreno.

I guess they didn't want me to
see where their safe house was.

Are you sure they
don't suspect you?

Well, lucio didn't see me
the day j.C. Chased him.

And they said they were
going to take me with them

to Puerto Rico
once they're finished.

All right. Well, we have
to move fast on this.

I'm gonna set up
security a.S.A.P.

I want you to follow
Eddie from the college.

Why don't we just
bust them up there?

Because if we do that,

we won't get varela
and the other guy.

Well, what if I wear a wire?

Not this time, detective.

Those men find a wire on you,

they won't hesitate to k*ll you.

[Upbeat music playing]

Oh, man, I know
where I've seen him!

He's a cop, man!

You recognize this?

Yeah, he was at the toy
giveaway with his partner.

Raul turned chota.

I don't know if he informed,

but we're gonna find
out before the ceremony.

[Door opens]

[Sighs] Vincent called.

Plans have been changed.

What do you mean?

We're not going to the church?

Yeah. But we're all gonna
to meet somewhere else first.

[Tires screeching]

[Tense music playing]

Yo, Raul, you mind if
we cruise by my place?

I left some stuff out of my bag.

[Speaking Spanish]

I'll lend you whatever you need.

[Tires screeching]

Yo, you always drive like this?

Normal operations, man.

You never know when you
might have some kind of tail.

- Cooper [on phone]: Cooper.
- Yo, loo,

I think they might've made ed.

They're not headin'
toward the church.

Cooper: Damn! Where are you?

J.c.: East 100 and 35th street.

Cooper: Okay, all right,
we're gonna send back-up.

Whatever you do, don't lose him.

Yes, ma'am.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Speaking Spanish]

Look out. Okay?
[Speaking Spanish]

Come on.

Let's talk inside.

[Vehicle door opens]

[Suspenseful music playing]

Ah...

What's with the g*n, huh?

Shh.

Give me the g*n.

Que pasa, man? What's going on?

[g*n c*ck]

Now.

[Dramatic music playing]

Vincent, man, why
are you doing this?

Because... he's a cop.

Raul: I didn't know.

I swear to you, I didn't know.

You don't have to swear.

Just k*ll him.

[Tense music playing]

Lucio: O.J.

O.j., you got a problem there?

No, you have a problem.

Vincent: Do it.

Do it!

Don't do this.

They're tracking me as we speak.

Vincent: So?

[Speaking Spanish]
It don't matter,

'cause by the
time they get here,

you'll be dead,

and we'll be gone.

Don't listen to him.

Do it.

Do it!

[g*n clicks]

Vincent: You think
I'd be stupid enough

to give you a loaded
one, huh, Raul? Huh?

[Speaking Spanish] You're dead.

- [Knocks]
- Raul: It's lucio.

I heard him.

- [Grunts]
- Eddie: J.C., g*n!

J.c.: Hey!

Come here! Come here!

[Grunts]

It doesn't matter how
hard you fight, man...

Oh, no?

[g*n clatters]

You'll never be one
of them, boriqua.

Don't make me k*ll you.

Because I'm gonna get away,

and I could use a brother
like you in the movement.

I'm not your brother. [Screams]

[Both grunting]

[Vehicle revving]

[Grunts]

[Exhales]

Damn.

[People chattering]

Eddie: Yo, take these boys.

Cooper: We found the Van

outside the 12th
Avenue heliport.

Raul Sanchez nowhere
in sight, naturally.

Did you put a search
on outgoing flights?

Yeah. One of them
was chartered in advance

and paid for with the
money from the robbery.

If Sanchez makes
it to Puerto Rico,

the macheteros will make
sure that he never gets caught.

Eddie: Hmm.

Look, detectives, don't worry.

You did a hell
of job, all right?

You're alive.

You know, if we'd
have played this right,

we would've caught
all those clowns.

Not all of them.

Until Puerto Rico's independent,

there's always going
to be macheteros.

You gonna keep your tattoo?

The department's gonna
make me remove it.

But I'm always gonna
remember what was there.

[Telephone rings]

Yo?

Yeah, yeah, hold on.

It's your brother. He wants
to meet you somewhere.

Hey, Jimmy.

Yeah, but not here.

Evergreen and Jamaica.

All right, cool.

[Hangs up]

[Sighs]

My grandfather's buried there.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Sighs]

Here.

I promised moreno
I'd give that to you.

Remember how mom
used to bring us down here

and tell us how
abuelito got shot?

She used to read his
name to us over and over,

from the history books.

That was a long time ago, ed.

You know, our grandfather
didn't die for words in a book.

He died for people.

That's what we're doing
up here, in our own way.

- Here, take this.
- No...

Come on.

Give it to those kids
you've been talking about.

Look, I know it's not


[Dramatic music playing]

Come on.
