[Theme music playing]

[Indistinct chatter;
Phones ringing]

J.c.: What's up,
partner? You're late.

- A long night?
- Yeah, buddy.

Gina had me up till at
least like, 4:00, 4:30, man.

Whew! Must be those
one-a-days plus iron you're taking?

She wants a key to the crib.

[Laughs]

She wants to move
in with you, man!

Look, she wants to know
if you're serious, right?

I went through the
same thing with Sandy.

- I understand it.
- So what am I supposed to do?

I mean, if I say no,
she's gonna think that

deep down I want to check
out some other females?

Well, I think you need to
wave that white flag, homie.

Surrender, man.
Look, giver her the key,

- you ain't got no static.
- Well, what if deep down

I want to check out
some other females?

Cooper: Torres.
Williams. Okay, guys.

We got a homicide


Get moving on this.

Let's do this.

[Upbeat music playing]

Eddie: So what do we got, wong?

Name is Roberto santander.

Put up a hell of a struggle.

Round in the chamber,
couldn't get off a shot.

You snooze, you lose.

Please, wong.
You're such a poet.

Guy must've known
his attacker, man.

There was no forced entry.

Yeah. And he looked like
he had a real good time.

So you like this,
you'll love that.

[Tense music playing]

Damn.

J.c.: Now this is kinda spooky.

- Eddie: It's gotta be santeria.
- J.C.: Hmm.

Hey. What about this thing here?

Hey, slow up.

I wouldn't touch
that if I were you.

Okay. Ed, tell me,
what am I gonna do?

Turn into a frog?

Yeah, and then wong's
gonna have to kiss you

and make it all better.

On the serious side, you
may not want to believe this,

but I knew this guy
who was dating this girl

who was into this kind of
stuff, he started cheating on her.

Next thing you know, it broke.

If you know what I'm saying.

Know something,
ed, you're right.

- I don't believe you.
- Yeah?

Well, that's what he said.

Eddie: Apartment was ransacked,

apparently some
missing jewels and money.

But there was a lot of
stuff that wasn't taken.

My feeling' is that this was
more than a botched burglary.

The guy was knifed to
death, he had to scream, right?

Eddie: Nobody
saw or heard a thing.

Guess they were
scared of the bogeyman.

The neighbors are
scared because of this crap

- this guy's involved in?
- That's about right.

Cooper: What about
the m*rder weapon?

Eddie: Not a thing.

I'm telling you,
lieutenant, our best bet

- is this guy's religion.
- Well then, we need somebody

who's familiar with the terrain.

You know anybody?

Cortez: Alegua.
Ceremonial dagger.

From your
description of the altar,

it sounds like one of
the yoruba religions.

Yoruba? What is that?

Cortez: Santeria. Voodoo.

In Brazil, it's sometimes
called shango.

I'm up on that. Those are, ah,

religions created
during the sl*ve trade.

In the Caribbean,
they said that the sl*ves

were given a choice, right?

Either catholicism or die.

Cortez: They would
use the Christian saints

to mask their divinities
and maintain their culture.

Eventually, santeria.

What about this?

This mean anything, professor?

Well, it's a talisman, a charm.

Used for good or bad.

This one is supposed to
protect you from an enemy

that has cast a
death spell on you.

Eddie: Now there's got to
be hundreds of botanicas

that sell these items.

You think you can
narrow it down for us?

Cortez: Try Botanica
El Congo real.

Owned by Max villarreal.

He has a cult called the faith.



They say yoruba brings luck.

If it's Max you're after,
you're going to need it.

[Tribal music playing]

Lourdes: This is a tax exempt
form Roberto showed me

before he was k*lled.

What's it mean?

What it means is that Roberto

was going behind my back

to get the faith a
tax exempt status,

even though I asked him not to.

Well, Roberto wanted to see
a lot of changes in the faith.

And if somebody didn't
like what he was up...

Somebody?

[Chuckles] You mean me?

In spite of all our differences,

Roberto was my friend.

I would never hurt him.

No, of course not.

But I was thinking.

Maybe when
Roberto did his audit,

he found out that somebody
was stealing money,

and they caught him.

And maybe that's why he's dead.

[Tense music playing]

When you find out...

Let me know.

[Door closes]

[Calming flute music playing]

You know what we
want. Give it up now!

- What do you want, man?
- You know what I want!

Hey, man, just
chill. All right, bro?

- Just be cool, man.
- Agee: Be cool...

Look, don't think I
won't smoke your a*s!

Now, give me what I want now!

- You! Over there!
- Hey...

- C'mon!
- J.c.: Hey!

Don't do anything stupid, okay?

I got a wallet. Right here.

You want it there? Okay. Here.

[Grunts]

Eddie: Let him go, Spence!

- You all right?
- Pago: Yeah.

Can you believe that, man?

That b*stard just
tried to Rob me.

It's crazy.

He got away, man.

Eddie: Look, Spence,
are you bugging?

You don't go
chasing' after junkies!

I'm glad he did. You
guys saved my butt.

- Name's pago.
- Gabriel.

- This is my friend, Spence.
- Pago: Hi.

Never seen you guys
around here before.

J.c.: We're new around here.
We tried to open up a business.

We're looking for a
charm or something.

Eddie: Yeah, something
that'll bring us good luck

'cause we been
kinda down on it lately.

The faith.

We call our place
of worship a house.

It'll bring you a lot of luck.

I've gone from a kid who
ran away from foster homes

to a freshman in college.

Our priest, he lets me
work in the house's store

to help me pay my tuition.

Wow. He sounds like a good guy.

Pago: Baba's a great man.

He can do a lot
for those he likes.

If you're not too busy, I
would like you to meet

the guys who saved my life.

Gabriel and Spence.

Our two heroes.

I wouldn't exactly say all that,

we were just making
sure nobody got hurt.

Oh, and thanks
to you, no one did.

How can we repay you?

Well, um... [clears throat]

This might seem
a little weird, but,

we've had our ups and downs.

We're looking for
some new direction.

Eddie: Spiritual direction.

Ashhallah!

Yes!

There's nothing weird
about it, brothers.

If you are not fed spiritually,

you will starve spiritually.

We would like to observe
one of the ceremonies.

Max: Sure.

Today our pianist, lourdes,

is paying homage to
her deceased boyfriend.

Yes, please come and observe.

Just don't interfere with
the will of the deities.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Max speaking foreign language]

Man: Baba!

- [People chattering]
- [Pianola playing]

[J.c. Sighs]

This guy is definitely slick.

Eddie: No, scary
is more like it.

If that's Roberto's girl.
I'm gonna talk to her.

Hi. I'm Gabriel.

I'm thinking about
joining the faith.

Really?

Well, think hard.

I heard about your
boyfriend and I'm sorry.

I know it must be rough.

Thank you.

I'm lourdes blanca.

You know, they say
that if missing someone

can make you cry,

then remembering
them can make you smile.

[Tribal music playing]

[Max singing in
foreign language]

[Tribal music playing]

[Men chanting in
foreign language]

[Chanting stops]

[Tribal music stops]

[Max speaking foreign language]

[Ominous music playing]

[Snake hisses]

[Snake hisses]

[Ominous music playing]

[Snake rattle shaking]

[Snake hisses]

[Tribal music playing]

No, no, no.

[Max speaking foreign language]

Do you believe in the
power of the orishas?

Yes!

I have faith, babaloya!

Max: Ashhallah!

[Tribal music playing]

Pago: You did it, baba.

Congratulations.

Max: Lourdes!

Where are you going?

I'm choking. I was just
gonna get some fresh air.

Max: You can't go just yet.

I'm going to summon

the spirit of Roberto.

Lourdes: No, baba, please.

This is the part of the ceremony

where he'd speak, isn't it?

Yes. But...

Max: Let your voice be his.

Let your eyes be his eyes.

Tell the truth.

What would Roberto
say right now?

He'd say you
almost k*lled Naomi.

He'd say you've asked
us to put all our faith in you,

not the religion.

Is that right?

I'm just telling you
what Roberto would say.

[Tense music playing]

And what would Roberto
say about his m*rder*r?

He'd say he didn't know him.

He'd say that a
stranger broke in,

robbed him and k*lled him.

And that's the truth, isn't it?

In spite of what
anyone else might say?

Yes.

[Indistinct chatter]

Lourdes?

You okay?

You look like you could
use somebody to talk to,

so could I. I mean...

This scared the hell out of me.

I'm in the book.

J.c.: So according to pago,

lourdes knew that Roberto
was cheating on her.

So she probably just
tried to teach him a lesson.

Eddie: I don't buy it. She
was crazy scared of him.

And Max is a control freak.

If Roberto was
challenging his views,

I don't have a problem
believing he's our perp.

His rap sheet came back
clean but it said to contact

the Cuban authorities.

So until we hear back from them,

we got nothing on this guy.

Eddie: He let a poisonous
snake bite this woman.

I mean, that's at the very
least reckless endangerment.

Come on, ed. That woman
is not gonna press charges.

Besides, how could she?

That snake was
probably more toothless

- than your grandmother.
- Eddie: On the island,

my grandmother knew
this baby that had died,

a baba said some words,
sprinkled some herbs and...

And next you're
gonna say that the baby

Rose from the dead and grew up

and became king of the island.

- Ed, that is a fairy tale.
- Cooper: All right.

Look, save the debate
for your off time, all right?

We have to get
closer to these people.

One of you has to go
undercover and join the faith.

Torres, that should be you.

Williams, you dig
around on the outside,

see what you come up with.

You all right with
that, detective?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

[Dramatic music playing]

[Max speaking foreign language]

You looked startled
the other night.

A little.

You see, tell
you the truth, uh...

I was really relieved.

I've been searching for
a long time for answers.

And now, I think
I've found them.

And your friend?

He's still uncertain.

I'm sure he'll
come around, but...

I can't risk waiting.

Our faith is taught
through knowledge

of the apatakis,
our ancient stories.

Know them, feel
them in your heart,

and when you are
ready, return to us.

Naturally, there's a
small initiation fee.

J.c.: 2 g's to feed
your soul, ed?

- That's pretty slick.
- I don't know.

I'm starting to think
that maybe this guy

really believes in
what he's doing.

I'm sure he does. He's
feeding his bank account.

What about lourdes?

You know, one of
her neighbors did say

that they heard her
threaten to k*ll Roberto

if he kept cheating on her.

See, she looks good
for this homicide.

[Chuckles] Wait a minute,

didn't you just say
before that you thought

lourdes was innocent and
mad Max was the perp?

So I changed my mind. So?

Changed your mind.

[Ominous music playing]

Eddie: Thanks for
meeting me like this.

Lourdes: You're
serious about all this.

- You're really gonna join?
- [Eddie sighs]

Unless you give
me a reason not to.

I get the feeling that
there was something

you were not saying
at baba's house.

You know, I was
raised protestant.

Heh. Sunday school every week.

When Roberto and I
met Max, it was amazing.

I mean, he was
performing these miracles

in front of our eyes.

Who wouldn't believe in him?

Since Roberto died,
nothing matters anymore.

You two were pretty tight?

We had our problems,
you know, but...

The good definitely
outweighed the bad.

I heard you say a
stranger k*lled Roberto,

but you really think
baba did it, don't you?

Because Roberto
didn't like the way

baba was running his house.

Is that why you
think baba did it?

The day Roberto was k*lled,
baba went to talk to him,

supposedly to iron
out their differences.

'Cause he thought that
Roberto's tax exempt plan

was the first step in
taking over his house,

and he was really mad.

- Was that Roberto's game plan?
- No.

He wanted to bring
us into the 20th century.

And the tide was shifting.

We were beginning
to follow Roberto

and baba knew
he would lose us...

And that's why I
think baba k*lled him.

- [Tense music playing]
- [Tribal music playing]

[Speaking foreign language]

[Suspenseful music playing]

Who's that?

Who is it?

[Tribal music playing]

I send one of my best
detectives undercover

to solve a homicide
and he winds up

in the hospital
screaming about visions?

Please, torres, all right,

tell me I'm the one
that's hallucinating here.

Max offered me the
aguardiente during the ceremony.

I had to take it
to keep my cover.

He must have slipped me
some psychedelic c*ck.

Well, I'm delighted you
were so trusting of him.

- What? Are you out of your mind?
- I'm telling you, lieutenant.

What happened to me last
night was more than just a drug.

J.c.: Look, I can buy everything
your saying about being zooted

and all that, but this
Max guy is a con-man.

- Yeah?
- A con-man!

Well, maybe so,

but, I mean, you heard
the doctors at the er?

They said a bite from
this spider is deadly.

And good luck doesn't
even begin to explain

- why I got out of there alive.
- Thank you.

Oh, well.

Looks like there is
something real about villareal.

- His rap sheet.
- That from Cuban authorities?

Cooper: Seems like
Max was in trouble

before he came over
here as a marielito.

Why don't we just
go pick him up?

Cooper: No. I wanna bring
him in tomorrow morning.

And if you two could pull
yourselves out of the twilight zone,

I'd like you to be there
to observe, all right?

Gina, what are you doing?

Did you forget already?

About our trade?

No. I did not forget.

But what does that have to do with
you taking down my pictures, huh?

I'm just making a few
changes around here.

By me giving you my keys

does not give you the right
to rearrange my whole life!

[Speaking Spanish] Huh?

Is it something at work?

No.

You wouldn't believe
me if I told you.

Yeah. Well, maybe I
would and maybe I wouldn't,

but I'm here.

So why don't you just try me?

[Dramatic music playing]

You know that case
I've been working on?

Well, the other
night, I had a vision

and I was going
down this alley...

And it was foggy.

And there was something...

Something was coming towards me.

So, I know you're
gonna think I'm crazy.

I don't think you're crazy.

My aunt, she used to go

to spiritual
masses all the time.

And she said that she used
to see the spirit's face, always.

All the time.

Well, this thing in the alley...

I couldn't see its face.

But I know him.

Who was it?

It was death.

And it was coming
towards me, Gina.

Cooper: Mr. Villareal,

we pulled your sheet
from immigration.

Max: Good for you.

How is our loyal leader, fidel?

Oh, he's still playing ball,

which what I strongly
encourage you to do.

'Cause it says here, you
did time for manslaughter.

So in my thinking m*rder
isn't that much of a stretch.

Max: You're not thinking.

What you're doing is
fishing without a hook.

What happened in Havana
was religious persecution.

A girl died...

She had a bad reaction to
some herbs during a ceremony.

[Clicks tongue] Mmm.

I've got a ceremony.

It's called the
booking ceremony.

[Laughs]

You've got nothing linking
me to Roberto's death

- and you know it.
- Yeah. I've got nothing

except a witness who
says you saw Mr. Santander

the day that he died.

Max: Now, well, what if I did?

I was his priest.

I went there to heal

what you might call
a schism between us.

No. I think the only thing
between you and him

was a nine-inch blade.

'Cause from what I hear,

you wanted Roberto
out of the way

because, he was gonna
expose you as a charlatan.

You've been talking
to lourdes, haven't you?

She's so crazy right
now, she'd blame anyone.

So you deny that you
and Roberto santander

had a beef?

Whatever happened,
it was first amendment.

Freedom of religion.

None of your business.

But for your information,

I held Roberto in
very high regard.

Enough to have a wake
for him this afternoon.

So I'd better get going.

Stop by.

You might learn something.

Oh, well, we plan to learn
a lot about you, Mr. Villareal.

J.c.: I don't know, loo,

that guy in there
was pretty arrogant.

Think you should've
hooked-off on him,

the way he was
taunting you like that?

Don't get me started,
Williams, all right?

As far as him taunting me,

I don't know, maybe he
was just telling the truth.

Oh, come on, loo.

Don't tell me you fell
under the spell, too?

Cooper: There's no
spells here, detectives.

But we also have no evidence.

What we need is a weapon,
with some prints, something.

So Williams, I want
you to go to that Botanica

and dig around and see
if you can find that knife.

Torres, you go to the wake.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Singer singing in
foreign language]

[Woman singing
in foreign language]

- [Sniffs]
- Well, well, well,

the second time's a charm, huh?

Look, man, you don't
belong in here, man, all right?

So why don't you just butt
out, 'cause I'm hurting, man.

- I'm hurting!
- Hurting for what? Candles?

- Just get outta my way, man!
- Hey, hey, hey, all right?

Now I know you're
not throwing a party,

so let's see what
you have here, bro.

Ah.

This is white magic.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Woman singing
in foreign language]

[Speaking foreign language]

Look, man...

Don't worry about me, all right,

'cause I ain't
gonna say nothing.

Just k*ll the cop. I
won't say nothing, man.

Please?

[Grunts]

Looked like you
were in a trance, kid.

Bet you weren't
expecting me, huh?

You're way too
clever for me, pago.

So-so-so-so,

our new spiritual
seeker is a cop, huh?

I'm a detective.

And you're in a
lot of trouble, pago.

Trouble you caused
me, detective.

The way you did Roberto...

[Heavy breathing]

could lead to anybody.

If you k*ll me...

It's all gonna lead back to you.

Yeah?

Yeah, you're right.

So I guess I need a
little scapegoat, right?

Yeah. And I know just the guy.

[Telephone ringing]

- Hello.
- Pago: Hey, baba.

- Yeah, we got a problem.
- What is it?

Pago: It's about Roberto, man.

A cop, he searched the warehouse

and they said that they found
evidence which involves you.

Me? What is it?

I can't talk right now.

Just come down here, okay, baba?

Max: Okay. I'll be right there.

Man: Yeah. Yeah.
Sure. I'll tell loo.

- You tell loo what?
- Well, that was torres.

He just left the wake, he's
on his way to the Botanica.

- Any leads?
- Nada.

[Suspenseful music playing]

Eddie: Hey, ricciarelli,
you seen j.C.?

We're supposed to hook-up.

If you see him or hear
from him, beep me.

Oh.

Hey. Wait up!

Hey, wait up!

I'm talking to you! I'm
looking for a friend of mine.

A black guy with a shaved
head, you seen him?

Come on, man!
What do I look like?

- A security camera or something?
- You think I'm playing with you?

I'm a cop, all right?
And unless you want me

to shake you down for all that
junk I know you got in your pocket,

- you better talk.
- Okay. Okay, man.

The kid that runs
the shop, pago,

I saw him drag somebody
out into this... to this Van, man.

- Maybe, it was your partner.
- A Van?

- What are you talking about?
- Come on, man.

You know, the one that
belongs to the church, man.

Lourdes, I need to talk to you.

Gabriel, I was just asking
for safe passage for Roberto.

- Will you join me?
- I can't.

Have you... Have
you seen my friend,

Spence or pago?

- No.
- What about baba?

Oh, he left a few minutes
ago. He was in a hurry.

Did he tell you
where he was going?

No.

You wanna tell me
what's going on?

Lourdes, I'm a cop,
so is my friend Spence,

and we're trying to
solve Roberto's crime.

A cop?

Well, I'm sorry. I don't
know where Max is.

Lourdes, listen, I know
how you feel about baba.

- But you've got to help me.
- No, you don't understand.

He's got real powers.
I'm afraid of him.

I know this probably
sounds crazy to you...

Look, I don't think
it sounds crazy

because I felt it, too.

But no matter what,

we've got to stand up
and you've got to help me.

[Sighs]

Okay.

Max was in his office
when pago called.

Maybe we'll find
something there.

All right.

Did you know in the old days

the faith had human
sacrifice on the menu?

You're a sick b*stard, pago.

[Slurping]

You're right.

But all the money I'm
gonna get from my dope

is gonna make me well again.

In a hurry.

[Door bell buzzes]

There's nothing in
his calendar, though.

What's this?

Roberto's application for
religious exempt status.

It includes a listing of
the faith's businesses.

Oh, there's the Botanica,

religious bookstore...
A warehouse.

If pago's holding my
partner, it could be here.

You know where it is?

- I'll take you.
- All right.

It's a good thing
you came, baba.

This cop is very persistent.

Well, let me talk to
him. Where is he?

He's right in here.

Max: Spence?

Is this some kind of a joke?

J.c.: Afraid not.

- I am a cop.
- A cop!

J.c.: I've been investigating
Roberto's m*rder,

and judging by the
look on your face,

I say you don't know
anything about this, do you?

Pago k*lled Roberto?

[Grunts]

[Gasping]

Pago: Everybody knows
what a great believer

in the power of
blood you are, baba.

First goat's blood,
now this cop's.

Yeah.

You k*lled him in
a bizarre sacrifice

because he was
spying in on the faith.

And of course, in the
struggle he k*lled you, too.

Listen.

You stay here and don't move.

I have a vision on how
to make a ton of money

shipping a little south
American powder inside

religious paraphernalia
right under customs' noses.

See, everything was copacetic

until Roberto stumbled
onto my stash in the Botanica.

Taking inventory to
get the faith legitimized.

- [Max groans]
- Shango!

[Speaking Spanish]

Say goodnight, pig.

No!

Eddie: Police, open up!

- J.c.: Yo! Over here!
- You okay, man?

- Yeah. Just get this off me.
- What happened?

It was pago.

He went that way.

I'll get Max.

- Pago, what are you doing here?
- Lourdes, baba has gone crazy.

He just tried to
k*ll me and a cop.

- He k*lled Roberto...
- What?

Quick. Give me the
g*n! He's right behind me!

- Hurry up!
- Here.

Quick. Come on. Come on.

[g*nshots]

Pago: Hold it right there, cop!

Drop the g*n.

[g*n clatters on ground]

It's time to enter the
spirit world, my friend.

[g*n clicks]

No!

[g*nshots]

[Grunts]

- You, all right?
- Eddie: Yeah.

Yeah. I'm fine.

Thank you.

Eddie: What's up?

That was the hospital.

Baba's gonna make it.

Pago's knife missed his
heart by an eighth of an inch.

Lucky devil.

If it wasn't for
that lucky devil,

you'd be chopped liver by now.

I think you owe baba his props,

- you hear what I'm saying?
- Come on, ed.

That man had no choice.

Look, if pago
would've taken me out,

they both would've been
looking at prison, alright?

And the man was looking
out for number one, that's it.

And don't go there about
that g*n jamming, either.

'Cause you know that happens.

You know, I know
you won't admit this,

but there are
things in this world

that you just
can't explain away,

- know what I'm saying?
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm out. Yeah.
- Yeah.

You're outta your mind. Shango!

[Dramatic music playing]

Eddie: See, it was just like
in the vision I told you about.

All I could think about was that

there was a b*llet
in that chamber

and it had my name on it.

Well, I'm glad it missed.

It didn't.

The g*n just jammed.

And then j.C. Burst in,
and then blam, it fires.

Oh, god, Eddie.

I wouldn't swear to it,

but if you ask me...

There was another
hand at work, you know.

Whose?

[Chuckles]

You know, when I talk like this,

I sound like I'm bugging, so...

[Ringing]

Eddie: Do you
know what time it is?

All right.

I'll be right there, okay?

[Suspenseful music playing]

Who's that?

[Footsteps approaching]

Who is it?

- [g*nshots]
- [Gasps]

It's okay. Shh.

It's okay, baby.
It's okay. It's okay.

- It's okay.
