Sugar

LA is a city of immigrants.

From the Chumash through the Persians -

to Vietnamese and everything in between.

Here they come.

A writer once said, “Los Angeles give a stronger future -

like other cities I know.

Also a bad future."

Are you waiting for me?

- I thought I said… - Smell all the shit!

- I don't know about that. - Hello.

I guess I'm an immigrant too.

There are many good things about Los Angeles.

There he is.

Let's do this.

However, I admit that it is a tough city.

Nice pool.

Hello. What did your car type say?

Usually, when such an arc comes in

the mechanic takes on a sad expression and add zero to the price.

But today you were lucky, Sugar. My friend Billy -

- is like honest Gandalf. - I thought you went for an oil change.

Not that kind of car can stand half a year -

and get by with just an oil change.

But now it's perfect.

Is it clear?

There.

- Are you staying here? - I live here.

Do you live here?

Probably expensive.

I heard that taxis are in the industry.

Nice industry.

Not bad.

Hello. Do you want a job, Val?

I'm leaving in a couple of hours, but sure. What would it be?

No. Workplace.

My colleagues.

You know? Permanent job.

I'm serious. we just met but you are trained and resourceful.

Frankly, I…

I need help.

So sure.

I don't want to assume.

Not if you…

So I'm always looking for new jobs, new job opportunities.

- Are you considering it? - Certainly.

Nice. I was thinking about it.

Good. Think about it.

- Good. - Good.

- Good. - Good.

Clear.

Danny! Raise your hands. Let go.

Move your legs.

About. Move.

This is where it starts.

About. Let go.

Move your legs.

It is called a noble skill.

It's raw, but it's called a sport.

Danny.

Danny!

I have to admit,

that regardless of the name it's hard not to watch it.

Is he stealing stuff from the hospital?

That's where he was last seen.

Jeez. He's not always like this.

- So today it is, but... - No need to explain.

I'm not explaining, I'm just stating.

Of course.

And the police aren't looking for him?

As far as I know.

- Forgive me. - Remember -

moves the legs in the ring.

Hello, Tom. What did you find?

Raise your hands. Keep your hands up.

What now, protein?

- An agent? - It would be.

He just helps with Ji.

- Your crazy brother Ji, huh? - Yes.

You did a good job that night.

Eddie Mbanefo is two grades above you.

He moves like a cement tank but it's not a canned food.

Thanks, Teddy.

He was slow.

Just had to forge the middle body and then, bam bam, up.

You have big things ahead of you.

- Focus. - All right.

- I'll text you. - It's fine.

Well, bye.

- Sorry. - So nothing else?

You keep me posted.

Absolutely. Gotta go. Thanks for letting me visit.

Think nothing of it.

Jou, was that call about Ji?

I'll tell you later.

Clear.

Everything has an end.

Sometimes earlier than you think.

Andromeda's side suns Paloma's detamorphs.

Everything dies.

DRIVE-IN THEATER

But still -

I hope I don't find Ji here.

He will be brought.

- Tom Flybjerg. - Hell…

I drove him, when his wife disappeared in Ojai.

Do you know how to use Instagram?

The wife disappeared only from Tom.

Hello, Flybjerg, coming.

This is where it starts.

An Asian man in his twenties.

Reminds him.

Great. Good news.

Not for him.

You talked about gang murder. He doesn't look like a gang member.

I guess he's a civilian. In the wrong place at the wrong time.

- His stuff? - Yeah.

Wallet, photos, bills, phone card, no sling.

- May I? - You can.

He is a recent immigrant. I guess he's still waiting for his papers.

About using a phone card can find his parents.

One number that has been called frequently.

Clear.

There is better news in terms of fairness.

Katie, where's the shooter?

Here.

Terrible noises here.

The police bumped into him two blocks away.

"Ez4"?

I guess it's a gang thing. I'm asking.

A gang member killed a civilian.

That kind of thing hurts.

Becoming a member, earning value.

Or an idiot shot the wrong guy.

Does it fit?

Go ahead.

Sometimes it works, if death is not long.

Don't ask how we learned it.

I guess you're right.

- From where? - They shot the wrong guy.

I guess I was still hoping that Ji's problems -

were self-inflicted.

But someone is really after him.

Some serious guy.

He is afraid for a reason.

ST. ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL

I got an idea about it, where to look next.

Or where to look again.

Damn it!

Hello.

Are you OK?

I am. I just got fired so the day is not going well.

I'm sorry. Annoyance.

- I'll pick up. - Thank you.

Thanks.

- Thank you. - Can't take it.

Hello. Come on over.

Thank you.

RESERVED PARKING SPACE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

Blaine.

THE GUARD

"If it's 1941 in Casablanca December, what time is it in New York?"

"My watch stopped."

- Did you watch the movie? - Yeah!

- What did you think? - Great.

Good.

I'm asking for a favor.

EMERGENCY EXIT

That's him.

Aha.

- Is that your type? - Yeah.

Starts from the 4th floor.

Do crabs have cameras?

- No. - Can you show me the exit of the stairs?

All right.

STAIRWAY 1

Where did he go?

Ten minutes have passed, and he is still…

There he is.

Why did the crabs take so long?

He went to the second floor.

- Are you checking the cameras? - Yeah.

You are right. Here he is.

Coming from the 5th floor staircase.

Here he is in a moment.

Stop. Cancel.

Forward slowly. Stop.

5TH FLOOR

- He was scared of something. - Yes.

He is not seen in the elevator and not at the nurses' workplace,

so his went somewhere along that corridor.

Corridor on the 5th floor.

"Jesus Alejandro Jaquez, 22 years old.

Taken in on April 27."

Three days before Ji.

"The patient had several gunshot wounds.

Multiple blood transfusions. Intubation due to a punctured lung.

Emergency spleen removal."

Boy's hand.

He didn't make it.

What did you do, Ji?
