What If He Lets Her Go, Part Two
November 30th 2006 20:00
Iteration 06
Hopper is dressed before Rita wakes up. He tells her he has a witness to protect and that she'll get hurt, but if he protects her, then he can't solve the case. She tells him he needs to solve the case and by doing so, that will protect the witness. He hadn't thought of that. He leaves, telling her that if Chad calls, to talk to him.
He stops across the street from the coffee shop and calls the woman who nealry gets hit. He pretends to be someone from her office and he gets her to skip the break, thereby saving her from injury without having to stop.
Hopper gets the package from his apartment and the viewpoint shifts to the interior of the bad guys' car. The chief bad guy hangs up his phone and the other guy asks if "he" was mad about the guy in the tub (we haven't seen a guy in a tub...will this matter later?). They chat about prices in the neighborhood and Hopper slips in the back seat.
The bad guys pretend not to know who he is at first, then they call the Mastermind. When Hopper takes the phone to talk to him, a fight begins. Several shots are fired, amazingly missing everyone in the car, then they drive away and throw Hopper out of the car. Chief Bad Guy needs to call the Mastermind and let him know what happened, but Hopper has his phone.
Hopper goes to Baxter's house. At first, Baxter denies that he knows the girl. Hopper finds her upstairs and finds out that Garza is the one who told her to call him. The Mastermind's phone rings and Hopper answers. Baxter is calling the Mastermind. Now we know for sure he's dirty.
But there's no time for Hopper to get information out of Baxter because Damien's goons are there. The goons shoot the girl and put Hopper and Baxter into the trunk of their car. Now they have time to talk. It turns out that Baxter has only been dirty a few days. The Latin Disciples are getting into contract killings and Damien knows names, but Baxter doesn't know how that ties to Garza or Hopper. Baxter justifies his actions by saying that Damien is the bad guy and he's getting what he deserves.
The woman's name was Eva Reese and Baxter met her at the courthouse a few weeks ago. She worked for Garza, but before this line of questioning gets far enough, the Chief Bad Guy shoots the goons and takes Baxter out of the trunk. He knocks out Hopper.
When Hopper wakes up, he finds a gun next to him and the trunk ajar. He climbs out into the parking structure where Damien took him in the last iteration. Baxter is dead in the driver's seat and Hopper realizes he is probably holding the murder weapon. He runs.
Meanwhile, Chad goes to the hospital and talks to Rita. She thinks back to Hopper's words that morning and goes with him. She runs into Jen at the station and they chat for a moment. We find out that Hopper and his mom don't talk much. Chad makes a comment about "a real tight family". Both women give him an annoyed look.
Spivak and Troy question Rita. They bring up something in Rita's past, but Chad stops them before we find out anything. He tells them they can drop that line of questioning or she will leave with him.
Chad drives Rita home and offers to stay on her couch. He says the only plans he had for that evening were to meet a guy at a bar (!) and he can reschedule. Rita lets him come up.
Hopper phones from the street below to make sure she's okay. He knows she and Chad are getting along well and the hurt is on his face. Rita tells him she loves him and he answers back. She wants to know when she will see him again. He is sure he will see her again tomorrow. Of course, only us viewers know the irony behind that remark.
Hopper's phone rings one more time. It's Andrea and she tells him she's done something terrible. We see her and she's standing on a balcony. On the ground below is a man, but I don't recognize him.
Can't wait to find out what happens next.
