[ People Chattering ]
- Mommy. - Yeah?
- Guess what. - What?
Miss Mornie gave me a green ticket, and I got to go to the prize box.
The prize box? That's fantastic, Sophie.
You know what I think? I think that your daddy wouId Iike to hear about this.
Hey, it's Hardy. I'm approaching the third fIoor.
What unit was that disturbance caII?
[ Man ] Unknown. Somewhere on floor three.
Roger that. I'II find it.
Hey, Jimmy, I was supposed to be punched out about 40 minutes ago.
Sorry, bro. You got the call.
[ Cell Phone Rings ]
[ Ringing ]
[ People Speaking, lndistinct ]
- Hey! What the heII you- - [ Gunshot ]
[ Ringing ]
Hey, this is Nick. You know what to do after the beep.
It's me.
Um, guessing you're not gonna make it home for dinner again.
Sophie reaIIy needs her father.
When you get home, we need to taIk about this, because something has to change.
[ Gasping ]
1 2.50 a share. It's the best I can do.
If I'm gonna puII the trigger, it has to be at the right price, Don.
You know, something teIIs me you can do a Iot better.
I can't do better.
WeII- [ Sighs ]
I guess we're done here.
You walk out of here now, Don, and the deal's off.
Are you sure there's no more money on the table?
Fine. Thirteen doIIars. Not a penny more.
My absoIute Iimit.
- Great. We have a deaI. - You drive a hard bargain.
And you have a private jet. Seems fair.
Not bad. I pay you 1 0 grand, and you make me 1 5 miIIion.
Teach me- the science bit.
- You got eight years, have you? - I wanna shadow you.
I wanna watch what you do, how you do it. I'm a quick study.
- I'II pay you 30 grand for the week. - [ Cell Phone Rings ]
Fifty.
- [ Beeps ] - Wait. Yeah?
Get Loker down there with a camera.
- Forty. - [ Beeps ]
A cop's been shot. I'm on a retainer with the city.
Forty-five. Take it or Ieave it.
So, why is the F.B.l. on this?
WeII, there was a shooting at a federaI housing project. Ah, there he is.
Captain James, D.C. poIice. Dr. CaI Lightman.
- Given our present situation, Lightman's the man. - What is the situation?
One of the buIIets rendered Officer Nick Hardy a quadripIegic.
He can't speak, he can't move...
and we can't get a cIear response to any of our questions.
- So you want me to heIp identify the shooters. - Yes.
91 1 got a caII from the Eastmont Projects.
Tenants heard shots, and they saw two kids running from the building in bloody shirts.
They were caught a few bIocks away, but no shirts and no murder weapon.
But residue on one of their hands shows that he recently fired a gun.
But without the weapon, we can't prove it was the gun.
Yeah, and the surgeon says that Hardy doesn't even have much time.
Maybe a few days, but more than likely a few hours.
- Why are you so worried now? - That's one of my men in there.
You're concerned you don't have the whole story yet.
The kids that we picked up, they're just runners for a small-time dealer.
They never carried weapons, and they have no history of vioIent crime.
And then one day, they just shoot a cop.
No, see, I think someone toId them to gun up.
But the question for you is, can you read a man who can bareIy move his eyes?
[ Man ] Dream, send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
l need to break out
Make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand-new day
Mrs. Hardy? I'm CaI Lightman.
You Sophie? How you doin', Sophie?
These are my coIIeagues.
They toId me you'd come.
Mrs. Hardy, maybe I can take you and your daughter...
to get something to drink in the cafeteria.
I Iove you. We'II be right back.
Oh, he Iiked that.
The little muscles around the eyes.
They... contracted a bit...
so made him happy there.
While you're at it, Clara, try and get ahold of Foster.
Come on.
Nick, I'm here to heIp find out who did this to you.
I know you can't answer questions the way you normaIIy wouId...
but you just think it...
and I'II try to do the rest, okay?
l wanna state for the record that the show-up is beyond unorthodox.
Shut up, CounseIor.
- You're getting this, aren't you? - I'm getting this.
Good. All right, Nick, are you 90 years old?
Are you 30 years oId?
There. Right there.
His pupils.
Can you bring those two over?
We need 'em right here.
I know you're- you're tired, but I need you to concentrate, aII right?
Were these two boys there when you were shot?
That's a positive affirmation. That's a yes to you, CounseIor.
AII right, one at a time.
Did this one shoot you?
Nothing. Okay.
And the other?
ln you come, son.
Did this one shoot you?
There it is.
Right, well, they were both there when he was shot...
but this one, he puIIed the trigger.
What's your next trick, reading tea leaves? This is all total garbage.
I'm giving my cIients back to SociaI Services and taking them back to County.
No, you're not.
We know you were working with someone.
lf you fess up now, we can protect you from that person.
Look at that. Oh, that's fear, that is.
[ Counselor ] Do not say anything. There are no questions here.
My cIients have a right against seIf-incrimination.
They aIso have a right to seIf-preservation.
They cooperate, maybe we can cut a deaI...
because we are gonna find who you were working for.
- We were doing a job for- - You don't have to say anything.
We were sIangin' drugs for Tevon, and so this cop creeped up on us.
ln our neighborhood, someone comes up behind you...
you don't ask questions, you shoot.
lt went down before we even knew he was the police.
He's lying. Clara, how do l know he's lying?
For 45 grand, why don't you tell me?
Okay. Uh, here we go.
It went down before we even knew he was the poIice.
There. Duping deIight.
Some peopIe can't heIp just the tiniest hint of a smiIe...
when they think they've got away with a Iie.
Who's Tevon? Their language is all past tense.
It's Iike they're unconsciousIy cutting ties from this person.
Tevon's the dealer they clock for. He runs the projects.
ReaI scumbag.
May have been running drugs for him, but that's not who they were working for...
- when they bumped into Hardy. - Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. Sure as the Iie on his face.
So whoever they were really working for scares them enough...
that they wouId rather serve up Tevon.
Maybe there's a rivaI deaIer trying to recruit some of Tevon's runners.
- We should go talk to him. - I aIready toId you that's not who they were working for.
- Why do you wanna see him? - WeII, the first ruIe of poIicing, Dr. Lightman-
- Oh, stop for coffee? - FoIIow every Iead.
- Hey, EmiIy. - Hi.
- CaI, we need to taIk. Maybe aIone. - Uh-oh.
I'II just go get a snack whiIe you two taIk about CIara.
Oh, good grief. Sit down. What about Clara?
Our accountant says we can't make payroII next week.
- Terrific. Start the Iayoffs then. - The situation is serious.
And keeping your daughter here as buffer is not gonna keep me from yeIIing...
untiI I get through to you.
CaIm down. What about CIara, formerIy Mrs. BaiIout?
Maybe she's more vaIuabIe than just a one-day ride-aIong.
Let me get this straight.
You're asking me to ask CIara for a Ioan?
She couId know peopIe, peopIe with money who couId use our services.
She's a cIient, GiIIian. I don't ask cIients for Ioans.
- And I don't mix business with pIeasure. - PIeasure?
Yeah.
Hi.
If you want to discuss some kind of business deaI, I'm open to it.
WeII, that's much appreciated, but, you know, your money's no good here.
This would probably be a bad time...
to ask for the $300 I need for the dance.
Since when does it cost $300 to dance?
I need a new dress, shoes-
- Hair. - Manicure.
WeII, cIearIy outnumbered here.
- [ Bills Rustling ] - There you go then.
- Thank you. - I want receipts.
I just keep coming to you with this probIem, and you keep ignoring it.
- WeII, find a Ioan then. - l know some money men.
- I couId heIp you with this. - Ready?
Yes.
Whoa, whoa. You don't think you're coming aIong, do you?
- AbsoIuteIy. - No, she's my colleague.
- Wherever I go, she goes. - Fine, but she's signing a waiver.
- Okay. - [ Cal ] No, l tell you what.
Why don't you go with Foster and sign the necessary papers.
WhiIe you're at it, give her the names of those money men.
- GIad to heIp. - To the right.
Let's go before she comes back.
Tevon moves around the projects every few months.
Makes it harder for the U.C.'s to keep a bead on him.
Our inteI says he's on the fourth fIoor.
ProbIem is, we don't know which apartment.
We're the cops. Who wants to be strip-searched?
Come on, man!
[ All Clamoring ]
WeII, there's your apartment. It's the first one down on the Ieft.
And how do you know that?
Put a drop of water in front of a swarm of ants.
They'II avoid it 'cause they think it's dangerous.
Kids steered cIear of that apartment. ProbabIy for the same reason.
AII right.
Whoa, no, no. You're a civiIian, aII right? You stay in the stairweII.
AII right. WeII, can I have a badge and a gun? Can you deputize me?
[ ChuckIes ] Yeah, nice try.
Listen, you get in any troubIe, you caII us.
AII right. Thank you very much.
I waIked this beat 20 years.
- Pretty tough, aII right? - Mm-hmm.
[ Knocking ]
- Yeah? - PoIice. Tevon here?
Nah, Tevon ain't here.
WeII, I guess we're just gonna have to wait for him then, huh?
- Yo, man, drop 'em! - Hey! Hey! Drop the gun! What are you doin'?
- We're copsl - Man, I got shot by a guy say they was cops before.
I ain't go for it then. Ain't going for it now.
-So y'all drop the gun, or l'm pulling the trigger. -[ PistoI Cocks ]
[ James ] Son, you are playing this all wrong.
Nah, man, what's wrong is y'all creepin' around my door tryin'to cap me, man.
Captain James, this is Officer Lightman. We've got SWA Toutside...
and the sniper has the subject in sight through the south window.
Good. I hope they shoot your ass in the back of the head.
- Shut up, bitch! - Officer James, please respond. Do we green light the sniper?
Let me teII you something. Those snipers are gonna put a buIIet in your brain...
unless you drop that gun right now.
You have three seconds. Put the gun down.
Put it down.
One, two-
AII right, yo. I ain't know y'aII was reaIIy cops, man.
Thought y'all was here to mess with my business. All right, cool, cool. Be easy.
- Put it down. - Be easy now. CooI.
Hey, man, Iook, aII this is just one big honest mistake, aII right?
- I know it was. So was this. - AII right, cooI.
- Hey! Hey, come on, man. - Take a waIk, honey.
Heyl Hey, manl
Man, this ain't justice, man. Hey, what this is about?
Who's your deputy now then?
Yo, man, those kids are straight-up liars, man.
AII I toId 'em to do was run product.
- And by product, I mean chewing gum. - He's teIIing the truth.
- Except for the gum part. - See, man, Iisten to him.
What do you know about the cop that got shot?
Man, I don't know jack, man. Matter of fact, where my Iawyer at?
Where's your stash, Tevon?
'Cause as far as l can tell, you got drugs hidden three feet from where l'm standing.
Listen, IittIe EngIish muffin, you ain't about to get in my head, man.
- Better get your ass a warrant. - Where am I gonna get a warrant, you wanker?
I'm not a cop.
All right then, how about... l start over here?
What do you think? Eh?
Hey, man. Come on, man, that ain't necessary. Come on, man.
What about in here?
AII right, man, cooI. AII right, I'II teII you what you wanna know.
I'II teII you aII I know.
Look, I heard a Iot of Ioud shoutin' and some gunfire go on directIy beIow me.
Then l seen those two punks diggin'out of the back lot.
Go on and ask your boy there. He'II teII you I'm teIIin' the God honest truth.
- Yeah, weII, he's got a point. - You heard shouting from beIow you?
Listen, Hardy was answering a domestic disturbance caII.
The arguing was coming from the third fIoor...
but he was shot before he got to the right apartment.
Yeah, but did anyone taIk to those tenants during the foIIow-up investigation?
There was some apartments where no one was home.
Maybe whoever was arguing downstairs saw someone with the shooters...
but they got too scared to taIk, so they boIted.
[ Cal ] Yeah.
It's Iike I aIways say, ''FoIIow every Iead.''
Right, Tevon?
Whatever, man.
[ Man ] l'm a little uncomfortable with this.
[ James ] Knock, say it's you, and he opens the door voIuntariIy.
I don't have three hours to wait for a warrant.
- [ Cell Phone Rings ] - Yeah. Lightman.
You ditched me, which is not good for business or pIeasure.
It gave me minor pIeasure.
[ Clara ] Yeah, sure.
Lightman, is this what I'm paying for?
Hey.
- [ Clara ] Lightman, are you there? - How you doin'?
- Lightman? - Good.
- Yeah? - Lightman.
- What's your name? - OIivia.
What? Who's OIivia?
Is that your doII?
Can I have a Iook?
Here, take a seat.
It's aII right. I won't bite you.
What the heII is going on?
I'm on the phone with a very mean Iady...
who wants me to hear her secret.
I don't wanna hear her secret. I wanna hear yours.
You got a secret, don't you, OIivia?
Such professionaI behavior. I can't imagine why your company's drowning in red ink.
- Lightman, are you- - [ Beeps ]
Mr. Jenkins isn't home.
He's dead.
- Oh, yeah? When did he die? - [ Olivia ] Last night.
I saw them taking him away in a bag.
Who took him?
The corner men. It said it on their backs.
Hey, uh, sweetheart...
do you mean the coroners took him away?
Did they have ''Coroner'' written in yeIIow on the back of their jackets?
Uh-huh. And they had a beIt Iike yours.
Oh, you mean a belt with a gun?
- Like the poIice. - Uh-huh.
How many cops work these projects?
- About a dozen. - I want pictures.
- I got the district book in my car, but- - I'II grab it on the way out.
You're taking a heII of a Ieap that cops were moving this body.
How's a IittIe girI supposed to know if what she saw in the middIe of the night...
were coroners, criminals or cops?
Coroners don't have guns, and criminaIs don't carry their weapons in hoIsters.
Right, OIivia?
See?
Where is he?
- Where's Lightman? - He Ieft before us.
- I thought he was here aIready. - That was the morgue.
No 70-year-oId white maIes have come in in the past 24 hours.
PIus, there were no signs of fouI pIay at Jenkins's apartment.
- It's Iike the oId man just vanished. - And none of this means...
it was cops taking a body out of the buiIding.
Well, that's what we're trying to find out. Follow every lead, remember?
And there isn't a singIe witness who was at the scene...
- to corroborate your theory. - ActuaIIy, there was a witness.
And I think I know why Lightman isn't here.
All right, Nick, these are pictures of the cops that work those projects.
Let's see if any of them were there when you were Iaying on the fIoor, shaII we?
AII right.
That's Officer HoIIander.
That's confirmation. WeII done, mate.
And another. Your pupiIs are on fire.
You're on a roII.
And again.
You've been hoIding on Iong enough just to teII me this, haven't you?
Do you want me to heIp you say good-bye to your famiIy?
Right then.
Hey.
Hi.
Um, your husband wants you to know something.
He wants to teII you something. I'm gonna transIate, if that's okay.
Mm-hmm.
[ Cal ] Okay, Nick...
when Janine was with you earIier, you were happy.
You showed happiness.
Is that 'cause you Iove her?
Yeah, that's a yes.
l'm seeing remorse. Am l reading that right?
We had been fighting.
He was working Iong hours, and- and I wanted him home more...
[ SniffIes ] where he'd be safe.
Yeah.
Nick, do you care about any of that anymore?
No, he loves you very much.
You and Sophie.
Always will.
You can't fake that Iook.
[ Crying ]
What- What's he saying now?
Nothing.
He's gone. I'm sorry.
What? [ Sobs ]
- No. - [ Monitor Beeping Fast ]
[ Steady Beep ]
[ Crying ]
How did you read remorse on him?
I didn't. I read it on her.
[ James ] All these men are in the same unit. They cover the Eastmont Projects.
But why wouId my men sneak a body out in the middIe of the night...
and Ieave one of their own to die?
I know. It doesn't seem sporting, does it?
We're gonna need a Iot more information before we confront these officers.
We got a 70-year-oId white maIe matching our description that just turned up.
You see? The coroner just mispIaced the body in the morgue.
It happens aII the time. I knew my guys were cIean.
Yeah, but we didn't find this body in the morgue.
We found it in a Dumpster three bIocks from the projects, in a body bag, Iike that girI said.
BadIy beaten and stabbed to death.
AII right. Let's see how you handIe the morgue.
[ Sighs ]
Yeah, that's Mr. Jenkins, aII right.
Okay, I I.D.'d the guy. Now I gotta go back to running the buiIding.
- Hey, what are you so ashamed of, eh? - Nothing.
You see my face? You see the expression on my face?
What does it say to you? Does it say anger? It say impatience?
- I'm just creeped out by the dead bodies. - ReaIIy?
- Yeah. - AII right, come here. Come here.
Look at this guy. Go on. Look at him.
You see, you are teIIing the truth...
when you say that you're creeped out, but why no shame for this one?
What's your probIem with Jenkins over there?
Oh, nothing. You asked me to come identify Mr. Jenkins-
That's a Iie. That's a Iie right there.
Come here. Identify him again. Identify him again.
It's Mr. Jenkins.
- I don't get this. It's deceit. - Why are you Iying about this man's name?
I don't have to be here, you know. You don't have no authority-
Let me expIain something to you.
Your buiIdings are registered as Section Eight housing.
That's a federaI program. So trust me. I have the authority.
- Why don't you take a wiId guess on what this is? - ProbIem.
That's a tenant Iist.
The unit Jenkins Iived in was registered with the federaI government...
as a Mr. Kashdan.
There's hundreds of tenants, covering three buiIdings. I can't keep track of them.
- That's a Iie. - All right, how about we try this again?
- What do you know about Jenkins's death? - l don't know anything.
That buiIding is fiIIed with junkies and gangbangers.
- The pIace is dangerous. - Okay, that's Iie number two.
One more of those, right, and l'm gonna let Reynolds and James out there...
fIip a coin over who Iocks you up tonight.
I'II take heads.
Look, I converted the buiIding to Section Eight housing.
I provide an apartment. The feds pay me 90% of the rent.
But you know what you reaIIy get is a buiIding fuII of crackheads and ex-cons.
Look, things just got out of hand.
You know, I'm smeIIing fear here. Yeah.
Of this one.
And this one.
And these other two.
How does he know that?
EyeIids. Uppers are severeIy raised. Lowers are tensed.
Why are you so afraid of these cops?
Look, a few years ago...
they teII me they gonna round up aII the skeIIs in the buiIding...
and force them out, whether they gonna go or not.
And l will replace the crackheads and the hookers...
with peopIe who won't compIeteIy ruin the pIace.
But you'd Ieave the originaI tenants on the federaI register...
so that the government wouId continue to pay their rents.
So you wouId get two rents per unit.
- I didn't get any of the money. The cops kept it aII. - [ CaI ] Uh-uh.
Okay. I got 1 0% of the money...
but the cops took the rest of it- six figures a year.
[ Cal ] And you told no one about this?
Who am I supposed to go to when the probIem are the poIice?
Did you kiII Jenkins?
- No. - That's true.
Jenkins threatened to rat if we didn't cut him in.
He was a bigmouth, crazy oId man.
I tried to teII him not to make waves.
[ Ben ] Chen's testimony alone isn't gonna be enough.
His name is the onIy name on those rent documents.
Nothing Ieads us to the cops.
WeII, Iet me have a crack at the shooters then.
Look, these kids, they know the cops can get 'em anyway, even in prison.
That's why they panicked and shot Officer Hardy and tried to serve Tevon up.
Nothing scares a con Iike a dirty cop.
lf Hardy hadn't stumbled on those kids-
It's what cops caII ''mutt-Iuck.''
You aII right there, Captain?
'Cause I'm sensing a IittIe guiIt.
Yeah, weII, you'd feeI guiIty, too...
if you assigned a man with a wife and daughter to the beat that got him kiIIed.
Listen, uh, we'll take over the investigation from here.
I appreciate everything you guys have done.
- Likewise. - Okay.
[ Door Opens, Closes ]
- [ Emily ] Now? - Yeah, go on.
Okay, okay.
- Ta-da! - Aw!
Look at you.
- You Iook beautifuI, Em. - [ Laughs ] Thank you.
l can't believe you made me get dressed here.
WeII, you know, for 300 bucks, at Ieast I shouId get a picture, right?
- There. LoveIy. - Okay.
- [ ChuckIes ] - [ CeII Phone Chirps ]
There was a time when me and your mum couIdn't get you into a dress.
I used to eat nothing but yeIIow foods, too, but things change.
WeII, I wish they didn't have to.
So, what's going on with you tonight?
I'm working Iate. I've got a cIient.
Oh, with CIara.
What? No, it's business.
No, that's- that's a Iie. I can see that thing your eyes are doing.
- What? - They did it again.
Do me a favor. You'd have better Iuck reading a Chinese phone book.
- AII right, here we go. - Oh.
- Right. Now, you see this? - Mm-hmm.
No Iess than six inches between you and Dick.
- Dad. - What?
Come on. It's Richard, and you know it.
- Oh, in that case, 1 2 inches. - [ Laughing ]
Ahhh. You got a coat?
- Uh, yeah. This is a coat. - That's not a coat.
- Yes. It's a shrug. - You Iook great.
I couId spend a fortune and not Iook haIf as good.
Thank you.
Have fun with your cIient.
You have fun too.
- The equity fund managers are waiting in the board room. - We shouId go.
- We're gonna be Iate. - Good Iuck. You can fiII me in over dinner.
So to speak. Or not.
Focus.
Right. John and George, right, they're taIking about a new secretary.
And John says, ''l took her out last night, and we went at it all night...
and I think she's better than my wife.''
So the next day, George comes in, he says...
''l took her out last night, and we went at it all night.
I think you're right. I think she is better than your wife.''
- [ Laughs ] - [ Laughs ]
Right. WeII, you're the boss, you know...
'cause everyone else, they waited just a millisecond before they laughed.
You, you Iaughed, but in truth, you found it offensive, right?
Being the family man that you are, right?
You got turned on by it.
And you- Well, you'd heard it before, but you laughed anyway.
Your Iaugh was fake, so-
That's what we do, gentIemen. We read peopIe.
lf you're lying, cheating or deceiving...
your face wiII Iet us know before anything you're saying ever does.
Right. I Iook forward to working with you.
You sure know how to show a girI a good time.
Oh, it's been a whiIe, has it?
You know, everyone needs a reminder now and then.
So, what's this reaIIy aII about, CIara, eh?
I don't foIIow.
WeII, that's 'cause you've been too busy trying to Iead, haven't you?
Hmm. WeII, I paid good money for that priviIege.
Do me a favor. Forty-five grand?
That's chump change for someone Iike you, isn't it?
If you were reaIIy interested in what I do, you wouId've made a pIay for me by now.
Well, no, l mean, not a play for me. A play for the firm.
Over your dead body.
So, what's your game, CaI?
[ Cell Phone Rings ]
[ Ringing ]
- [ Beeps ] - HeIIo, Em.
What? Say that again.
AII right, you say nothing untiI I get there.
You understand? Nothing.
- What's wrong? - You take the car.
Bastards arrested my daughter for drugs. Hey!
[ Cab Drives Away ]
CaI Lightman. Where's my daughter?
Mr. Lightman, Iet's taIk in here.
Where's my daughter, Officer?
I can understand your concern, aIso being a dad.
These kids today, huh?
So where is she?
Take a breath. It's okay. She's coming.
SeriousIy, take a breath, paI.
No, see, 'cause I just want her back.
You're gonna Iet her go, right?
You seem Iike a smart guy, doting dad.
We aII make mistakes. Correct?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
There a reason not to Iet her go?
I don't know. I can't think of one, you know.
AII right, weII, thank you.
Don't mention it.
- That's it then? - You teII me if that's it.
- I think we understand each other. - Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
There she is now.
Dad, I didn't do it. I didn't do anything.
- I know that, Iove. AbsoIuteIy, sweetheart. - Count yourseIf Iucky, EmiIy.
Most kids around here don't get baiI when they're caught with enough cocaine...
for an intent to distribute.
Come on. Let's- Let's go, Dad. Come on.
I wanna officiaIIy notify you that this is now an F.B. I. investigation.
Wait a minute. I came down here because you toId me...
you were Iooking for a new focus in the investigation.
Yeah, and the new focus is the reIationship...
between you and your boy HoIIander.
I toId you I'd take care of HoIIander and his men.
- You crossed the Iine. That was my daughter. - Yeah, and I'm sorry about that.
That had better be genuine concern for my EmiIy...
'cause as you can see, my bIood is weII up and my judgment is way out of whack.
- So keep taIking. - Those men were totaIIy out of Iine.
The other night, you Iied about the reasons for your guiIt.
You are to bIame for Hardy's death, but not because you sent him off to the projects...
but because you're up to your eyes in this...
with HoIIander and his thugs, or shouId I say your thugs.
- And that wasn't a bIoody question. - You know what?
- This is a Iot more compIicated than you think. - Why?
Whose side are you on, James?
'Cause on the one hand you grieve for Hardy's death, right?
But somehow, you're invoIved with the men responsibIe for it, so-
- He was a good man. - James, save the B.S. for his widow and answer the question.
You guys think that I'm running a crew of dirty cops?
- No, I don't think it. I see it. - Why are you protecting them?
- I'm not protecting them. - No, you're protecting yourself.
I'm coming at you, James, with everything I got. You know that, don't you?
Not just because of my daughter, but because of Hardy's wife and kid.
You do remember them.
A Iot of peopIe in those projects are good peopIe, just trying to Iive their Iives...
which is hard enough without deaIers and pimps and scumbags.
Yeah, weII, I- I smeII poIice vigiIantism.
WeII, the peopIe in that buiIding caII it safety.
You don't have to see what we see...
day after day, year after year.
Four years ago, I puIIed a baby out of a Dumpster for the Iast time.
And that's when I had HoIIander and his crew set an exampIe...
of a coupIe of the probIem tenants...
so the rest of the trash wouId know...
that they were not toIerated in my projects.
- Your projects? - My projects! Somebody's gotta own 'em.
If we just did things by the book...
which doesn't exist anyway, nothing wouId get done.
I swear on my mother's grave...
I didn't know HoIIander was running a rent scam.
And I didn't know anything about any kiIIings.
So you reaIIy beIieve that you were doing good there?
- I know I was doing good. - I mean, you can't be that naive.
Naive? No. Arrogant.
Arrogant enough to beIieve that my men wouId never Iet me down.
Yeah, weII, they did.
So you're gonna heIp us end this if it's the Iast thing you do.
You're gonna go pick up Hollander and bring him back here.
We'II grab the other two.
[ Police Dispatch Chatter ]
Officer Tressler. F.B.l. You're under arrest.
You can't just arrest an officer of the Iaw 'cause you feeI Iike it.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Now you know how my daughter feIt.
Excuse me.
Oh, there he is.
I'm gIad you couId come.
What's the matter? Did I strike a nerve?
What, don't you Iike being yanked out of your Iife to be here with me?
You got nothing on me. This is buII.
- How's your daughter doing? - Oh, she's doing fine.
Grades have dropped a bit. Now, the boys have already started talking.
We just got a coupIe of quick questions for you.
[ Door Buzzes ]
[ Door Closes ]
You have no right to keep us here. Get me a Iawyer.
PeopIe who show genuine guiIt and remorse are more IikeIy to confess.
- You read that on which one? - [ Ria ] Officer Tressler.
At the police station, Lightman read that Tressler wasn't comfortable...
with what his partners were doing to EmiIy.
Yeah, if a member of a group dynamic feeIs...
that the group has strayed from its moraI code...
that member's discomfort manifests itself...
in physical distancing from the group...
microexpressions of disagreement.
And Lightman said that this guy was showing aII of those at the precinct.
He's doing it right now. He's on the opposite side of the room.
Hi.
How you doin'? You aII right?
- He's the worst kind of cop, don't you think? - He's a good cop.
See how his voice traiIed off? He doesn't beIieve that.
I'm sorry. Uh, couId you say that again?
It's mind games. It's aII mind games.
You know, you can go. Yeah, we don't need you anymore.
We got him. Yeah, off you go.
What? Oh, you're scared, are you?
You scared to Ieave without your boyfriend here?
- [ Door Closes ] - I think I want a Iawyer.
He used the word ''think. ''He's equivocating. He wants to unburden himself.
I think I know what Captain James was doing...
or thought he was doing, in those projects.
He was taking out the trash, right?
Ooh, look at you. That's pride, that is.
He's puffed up Iike a peacock.
- Lawyer. - [ Cal ] No, that's fair enough.
Yeah, you can have a Iawyer. But I'm not asking you to say anything to incriminate you.
Not verbally anyway.
- His face aIready toId me he kiIIed Hardy. - That's a Iie! I did not.
No, no. Sorry. Had him killed. Had him killed.
Had him killed. That's it, right? Yeah.
Those kids-
- It was an accident. - WeII, now we're gettin' somewhere.
Okay, okay, we're through. We're through here. Let's go.
Here we go.
You left Hardy, a father and a husband, to bleed out alone.
- He's gonna do you next. You know that, don't you? - Shut up! That's enough!
Make me.
Go on. Make me.
No. I want you to.
Make me.
- Then you went after my daughter. - No.
No? WeII, his Adam's appIe says yes, you know.
Look at it. It's Iike a cork in a storm.
And you see that look? That's very common on people with intent to commit murder.
Sixteen, my daughter. She's 1 6.
Some man you are, eh? Don't Iook at him. He can't heIp you.
I didn't want to.
- Didn't want to what? - What, threaten my famiIy?
No, but you did, though, didn't you? You went aIong with it, didn't you?
- 'Cause you're scared of him. - I'm not. No.
No? Coffee break?
- Yes. Get some tea. - Yeah, it's about that time.
Wait! I onIy knew about the two boys kiIIing Jenkins!
- [ Door Buzzes ] - Excuse me?
We saw Hardy Iying there bIeeding out, but Jenkins was aIready dead.
- His apartment door was wide open. - [ Hollander ] That's enough.
We cIosed it, and we moved the body Iater.
You killed Jenkins to shut him up about your rent scam.
- That it? That's it. - l just wanted to make a few extra bucks.
- And then this Jenkins guy starts causing troubIe. - [ Hollander ] Shut up.
What are you doing? You're smarter than this.
Next thing I know, HoIIander teIIs me that he's dead and we have to move the body.
Whoal Lightmanl
You know, prison's too good for you, mate.
But l suppose it'll have to do.
I've made a coupIe of caIIs. I've Iet 'em know you're coming.
I said 45 grand, by the way.
- WeII, consider it a discount for ditching me. - Yeah.
Hey. So, uh, Captain James wiII cut a deaI...
but the rest of them are Iooking at a Iife sentence.
WeII, if I was on James's jury...
I'd be incIined to give him a second chance.
- Here. - Hmm.
WouId you Iike some more good news?
- Yeah. - You got the Ioan?
Seven figures. It'II keep us afIoat for at Ieast a year-
Iong enough to get us back on our feet.
CongratuIations.
Yeah. WeII done, Foster.
Thank CIara for getting us in touch with the equity firm.
I'm just excited we're gonna be working together.
- Excuse me? - Come again?
WeII, as the majority investor of that equity firm...
I can't wait to turn this pIace into the cash cow it shouId be.
Sky's the Iimit. I'II Ieave you two to ceIebrate.
I'II caII you tomorrow to taIk over some detaiIs.
- What, your pIace or mine? - WeII, your pIace is mine now.
That's the best you can do?
So you've been hanging around with me...
for, you know, a few days now.
- That makes you an expert, does it? - I toId you, I'm a quick study.
I beIieve in business and pIeasure.
I'm proud of you.
- For what? - Admit it.
You were hoIding out for more than just a handshake.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Seven figures.
You know, this is aII your fauIt.
You're weIcome.
