Oh!
Oh!

Can we just --
No, no. Careful!

It's okay.

You know,
We don't have to do this today.

No!

No, no. These -- these things
Could be used by other cats.

Good morning,
Sergeant gabriel.

Gabriel:
Morning, chief.

We just landed a body at
The crenshaw community center.

Oh, no. Isn't that
Father jack's place?

Yeah. You want me to come by
And pick you up

Or give you directions or --

I know where it is.

Uh, no, no.
I'll, um -- I'll be right there.

[ siren chirps,
Indistinct shouting ]

Doesn't look like much.

Maybe I'll wait, then.

Chief's here.
Appreciate it.

Chief, agent howard,
Sorry to cut into your weekend.

Our, uh, victim
Is a 35-year-old male, black.

Single gunshot
To the back of the head.

Was discovered
Around 7:00 a.M. This morning.

Take a guess
Who found him.

Father jack.

Victim's name is, uh,
Reginald gray.

He did maintenance work
For the community center,

But he's paid
By father jack's church,

Which is where
He was living.

This is
A major crime because...

The community center's
City-owned,

Which immediately makes it
Our problem.

Where's s.I.D.?

I told them
Not to come, chief.

Why?

There's nothing for them to do.
Victim was shot once.

There's no casings,
No weapon, no witnesses.

And father jack over there says
That the victim, reggie gray --

Who's still on parole,
By the way --

Is some kind of like ex-con
Turned saint.

Gabriel: actually,
What the father said

Is that reggie
Had no known enemies

And was well-liked
In the neighborhood, lieutenant.

Yeah?

Well, he doesn't look
Very popular to me.

Taylor: ricardo,
This is father jack.

Nice to meet you,
Father jack.
Be right back.

I'm ricardo ramos.
I got a few questions for you.

Oh!
Why is commander taylor

Forever bringing
That reporter around?

Morning, chief.

I know how it looks,

But chief pope believes if ramos
Is getting father jack's side,

Then he should get ours, too.

Well, I don't know
What our side is yet.

Look, just --
Just keep him away from me

As long as possible,
Please.

All right.

Haven't touched a thing,
Chief.

Called the coroner and gave me
A one-hour e.T.A.,

But it looks like reggie here's
Been dead for quite a while.

Why is he damp?

Sprinklers go off every night
At 10:00.

So he must have been murdered
Before that.

Neighbors didn't hear
Gunfire.

Around here,
They never do.

Uh...

Look, I-I-I can't go anywhere
Until the body's taken away.

Why don't I take kitty's things
Down to the shelter,

Save you the trip down?

No, no.
We should do it together.

You finish
Your simple investigation.

I'll dispose of kitty's
Earthly effects.

Okay. Thanks.

Brenda: looks like he's got
A wallet in his back pocket,

So it wasn't a robbery.

Well, if it wasn't a robbery,

Why else would someone
Want to kill him?

You want
An alphabetical list?
Fire away.

"A," asshole.
"B," because.

"C," criminal.

Excuse me, lieutenant?

Do you always
Begin a murder investigation

By assassinating
The victim's character?!

Brenda:
Actually, father,

What lieutenant flynn here
Meant to say

Is how sad it is that
We're always meeting up again

Under such tragic
Circumstances.

Any reason why someone
Might want to see this man dead?

No, none at all.

And I'm not just saying that
Because reggie worked for me.

Reggie was dedicating his life
To improving this community.

Do you see that wall there?

Reggie painted over
The graffiti on it constantly

With supplies
He bought himself.

And he mentored
Several middle schoolers,

Keeping them out of gangs!

Yeah, that's right,
Lieutenant.

That's the kind of wretched
Human being he was.

I understand that reggie
Lived in your church.

We're gonna have to
Search through his room.

Do you have a warrant?

Well, no,
But since he's a parolee,

We can search through
His quarters anytime we like.

Oh, no, no, no.
Now, wait a minute. No.

You're allowed to search his
Quarters when reggie was alive.

Now he's dead.

Is he reggie gray?

Excuse me?

Uh, commander taylor's
Point, father,

Is that until
The coroner arrives,

We can't remove
The victim's wallet

And check
His driver's license.

Officially,
We don't know who this man is.

I just identified him
For you!

He worked for me!

I'm afraid that doesn't work
As an official identification.

Well, I'm --
I'm a little confused,

Because his name tag
Says "Reggie."

Well, if there's one thing
You've taught me, ricardo,

It's "Don't believe
Everything you read."

I-I tell you what --
While we're sorting through

The legal ins and outs
Of searching the victim's room,

Uh, commander taylor,
If you could please take a walk

Through the community center.

It's city-owned, so we don't
Need a search warrant.

Just make sure that nothing's
Broken into or missing.

Well, I need to be present
For that.
Fine.

Feel welcome to join me,
Father.

Ricardo, you too.
You too.

Still got that parole officer's
Number on speed dial?

Sure do, chief.
All right.
Uh, lieutenant provenza,

When the parole officer arrives,
Would you and lieutenant flynn

Please supervise the search
Of reggie's room?

Sergeant gabriel, would you
Handle the notification

Of the victim's family?

Thank you.

And, uh,
Detective sanchez,

What else do I need to know
About this neighborhood?

Oh, thank you.

Okay.

Brenda:
So, what do we have here?

Sanchez: it's gang central l.A.,
Chief.

There's big overlap out there

Of black, brown,
And a little white.

There's three regular gangs

And then one made up
Of all the gang rejects.

That's what we call
"Affirmative-action gangsters."

Okay.
And, uh, who does what?

Well, over there...

...Dope.

Over there...

...Weapons.

And over there, chief...

...Car theft.

Over there...

...More dope.

Gang, gang, gang, gang.

So I'm guessing reggie's death
Had something to do with gangs,

Which is why no one in the
Neighborhood will talk to us.

And reggie's room
At the church?

Oh, outreach pamphlets,
Handyman books,

A blessed mother statue.

Now, father jack was right
About one thing.

Reggie painted over some
Graffiti three times last month,

Including yesterday.

So you can bet some gangsters
Were pretty unhappy about that.

There's a new
Sandblast technique

For removing
A single layer of paint.

Want me to order it up?

I think we should,
Lieutenant.

You know,
The last time we dealt with him,

Everyone said that father jack's
Place was off-limits to gangs.

Yeah, it still is,
But reggie's older.

He did time.

Maybe he made some enemies
We don't know about, chief.

Sergeant gabriel,
How did the notification go?

Well, reggie's mother
Was devastated,

But, um, she confirms
What father jack said

That reggie had turned his life
Around, no problems with anyone.

Then how did he
End up dead?

Did commander taylor
Notice anything missing

At the community center?

Father jack said that there was
Nothing out of place.

And reggie's known associates
From his gang years

Are all dead and buried.

So every cloud
Does have a silver lining.

Buzz:
I'm sorry to interrupt,

But I-I applied
For this federal grant

To upgrade
Our surveillance equipment,

And I think I got it,

But I-I need help translating
This letter.

What language is it in?

Uh, government.

Ah, yeah. Here, buzz.
I read government.

Uh...

"In accordance with the terms
And conditions

Of the american recovery
And reinvestment act" --

Da, da, da,
Here it is --

"For new surveillance
And communications equipment,

"You have on account...

$70,000."

Really?

Oh, my god.

Now, why would the feds

Give you
That kind of money?

Well, I promised to spend it
Really fast, and I can.

Speaking of fast,
Chief,

The morgue
Has a prelim ready.

The bullet entered the soft
Tissue right below the skull.

But for a .32 caliber,
Didn't penetrate very deeply.

.32 caliber's
A semiautomatic --

Would have kicked out a casing
At the crime scene.

We didn't find one.

It may be a professional hit,

And they grabbed the casing
And took it with them.

What else do you know?

Our victim is a former
Gang member out on parole,

And I've got a priest
Who thinks he's a saint.

Well,
I don't know about saint,

But he meets the first
Big requirement for martyrdom.

And he was having
This tattoo removed.

Maybe somebody
Felt insulted by that.

Because when I see
This type of injury,

We're talking execution.

But no stippling,
No sooting,

Which means the shooter
Wasn't very close when he fired.

Hey, doc, what if the, uh --
What if the shooter stood

Like 20, 30 yards away,

Like, you know,
From across the street?

With a .32? That'd be
A hell of a shot, sergeant.

What if the gun malfunctioned
Or the bullet was a half load?

Oh, well, um, a bad primer
Could account for some of this.

But honestly,
The bullet doesn't tell me much.

Well, it's got to tell us
Something, doctor.

Look,
W-we'll take it to ballistics.

Hey, uh, chief,

The people in that neighborhood
Know something.

They always do.

Why don't we set up a meeting
At the community center

And see if they can help us
Find the gun?

We talk to them directly.

You want me to share information
With civilians?
Yes.

Absolutely not!

I'm not doing that, ever.

Just as well, really.

Why's that?

You don't have any information
To share.

So, you chose my day off

To execute an illegal search
Of father jack's church?

There was nothing illegal
About it.

A parole officer visited
The victim's quarters.

We only went along to make sure
It all went smoothly.

Come on, brenda.

Are you deliberately trying to
Antagonize this guy?

He is deliberately
Antagonizing me!

I am looking for a killer,
And, as usual,

Father jack has been
Uncooperative

Every step of the way.

What am I supposed to do
About that?

Well, for starters, you can help
Me calm his holiness,

Even if it means you have to
Behave like a nun to do it.

Father jack:
It's bad enough

The l.A.P.D. Won't respect
Our outreach program

To these children and gangs,

But when one of our own
Becomes a target

And we're being treated
Like suspects,

That's another thing
Altogether!

We don't need more suspicion.
We need answers.

We're searching
For those answers.

In my church
And without a warrant

And without responding
To any of our questions.

Taylor: we just got this case
Six hours ago.

We can't pluck witnesses
And guns out of thin air.

Miracles like that fall
More under your jurisdiction

Than mine, father.

All right, look, we are all
After the same thing here.

And what makes you
Say that?
Well...

You want to find
Reggie gray's killer, don't you?

Of course I do!

But how do I know the l.A.P.D.
Isn't using his murder

To start another witch hunt
In my parish?

Let's bring your community
Together.

We'll talk to them directly.

Seriously?

Absolutely.

You'd be willing
To speak with my people

In an open dialogue?

Oh, I don't think a community
Meeting is really a good idea.

That is a fantastic idea.

We can tell the people
What we know,

And they could do
The same for us.

It'll show the community

How seriously
We're taking this crime.

Well,
I have to warn you.

My community
Feels abandoned.

They're angry
About reggie's death,

And trust me,
They won't go easy on you.

We can take it, father.

Try us.

Man: police see the same things
Day in and day out!

People getting shot,
Getting their cars stolen,

Drugs sold on the corner!

Now, why can't the police
Stop that?!

Pope: I understand
Your frustration.

We came here
Specifically tonight

To find ways that we might help
Each other put an end to that.

I saw you guys taking paint
Off the wall outside.

Do you think some gang members
Shot reggie

For covering up
Their graffiti?

We checked into that,
Ma'am,

And that was done by a
Local tagger, not a gang member.

But like all of you,

We are trying very hard
To figure out

Why this happened
To mr. Gray.

A-a-and anything that you know
About the shooting last night,

Even the smallest detail,
Could help us.

Uh, chief johnson,

Have you narrowed down
Any possible motives yet?

No, uh,
But thank you for asking that,

Because I'm especially
Interested in motives.

Sometimes knowing
Why someone was shot

Can take us a very, very long
Way into figuring out who --

So, somebody got
Murdered, and you want
Us to figure it out?

Woman: how do we know
We'll even be protected
If we tell you anything?!

You can't even protect
This community center anymore!

I bet this has something to do
With reggie's stint in prison.

No!

No, it didn't!

My son, reggie --

He paid his debt.

He straightened out his life.

He didn't deserve this!

He was trying to make something
Better for hisself,

To make up
For all the wrong he did,

With humility...

And love...

And hard work!

And if we can't
Turn this place around

With spirit like that...

Then one of you is gonna be
Sitting where I am tomorrow...

Or next week...
Or next year!

Mourning the loss
Of your only child...

...How many children
Do we have to bury

Before this ends, huh?!

When is this going to end?!

When?!

Ohh...

The police don't care.

No.
No, sir, we do.

We care very much.
That's why we're here.

Man:
Yeah, you say that,

But last night,
We had another run-in

At the central food and gas mart
Down the street.

I mean, someone started
Shooting at people,

And the police
Just drove through and left.

Uh, uh, sir, many times,

If there's no one there
When the officers arrive,

They move on
To their next call.

You tell us to call
When people put up graffiti.

And then we go back
And paint over it,

Someone else comes back,
Does it all over again.

Psst! Provenza.

Uh, would you please
Call buzz

And, uh, and send everyone
Over to this gas station,

Check it out for signs
Of a possible shooting,

And see if there was a radio
Call or a report made about it?

Thanks.
Yes, ma'am.

Father jack: miss, why don't you
Tell them about the crimes

That you are seeing?

What crimes can we talk about
With a guarantee of protection?

Have you thought
About that?

Pope:
Ma'am, I assure you, the entire
Force is doing everything we can

To keep
Your neighborhood safe.

Woman: I won't even take
My family out at night anymore.

We're afraid
To go out after dark.

And that
Should not be the case.

Now, we want you to know
Who you can turn to,

So tonight,
We have two of the officers here

Who patrol your neighborhood.

Standing there at the back
After the meeting,

Feel free to address

Any specific concerns
You may have with them.

Buzz: did you guys
Find anything yet?

Tao: not yet.

[ dog barking,
Horn honks ]

Buzz.

Over here.

I think
I found something.

.32 caliber.

Oh! We got three more
Over here.

You want to get this,
Buzz?

Two in here,
And you got one down here.

Lieutenant tao...

Hmm?

...Do you still carry around
Those geeky lasers?

I-I promise we're gonna
Do everything we can

To find out
Why this happened.

I hope so,
Ochief johnson.

And not just for my sake.

People here need to believe
In you.

They need to know
You're going to do something.

They need to see it.

Please.

Yeah.

Chief.

Yes. Oh.

I just talked to flynn.
Uh-huh.

No report was filed
On any shooting last night

At that food and gas mart,

But there was a 911 reported
From their phone.

Caller said shots were fired.

Patrol car was sent.

No one was there,
So they kept going.

Now, get this.

Flynn says they just found
Some .32 casings

In their parking lot.
Okay.

You need to be shaking hands
With people.

Not you, lieutenant.

Uh, I need to run out
Just for one quick minute.

No, no, no, no,
Chief johnson, you're not
Going anywhere right now.

There's some casings --

You cannot invite
These people here to meet you

A-and then just leave.

Chief, why don't you just --

You stay here
And press the flesh,

And I'll keep you posted
On anything going on.

Ah. Here we go.

Hey, julio. We're ready.

Okay.

Flynn, are you in position?

I'm at
The community center.

Okay. Are you ready
To film this?
All set.

Okay, lieutenant tao,

Point it away from your body
Like a gun

And go to your left towards
Flynn at the community center.

Okay. Good.

Keep going. Good.

Good.

Flynn: tao, julio,
Are you guys still there?

I don't see anything yet.

Tao...

Lower it just a little.

Oh! Oh, I see it now.

It's hitting me, and I'm right
Where reggie was standing.

Whoa.

Tao, I see a direct path

For the bullet
That killed reggie gray.

Looks like he was shot
In somebody else's gunfight.

What kind of sense
Does that make?

I mean, come on.

Fritz: hey.

Hi. Thanks.

Sure is quiet in here.

Doesn't have to be this quiet,
You know?

We could use this bedroom

For something other than
Your unsolved cases.

After last night,

This room may not be
Big enough

For my unsolved cases,
Honestly.

But it could hold a kid.

We could turn this room
Into a nursery in just...

A few months maybe.

You should have seen
My victim's mother last night.

She stood up and talked about
How much she loved her son.

She never gave up on him

Through prison
And parole.

She was helping him
Turn his life around.

And then one night...

Shot dead,

Probably
By a-a random bullet,

For no better reason
Than he was just standing

In the wrong place
At the wrong time.

When I know how easily...

These things happen,

How can I even think
About having children?

The same way
E.R. Doctors do...

...And undertakers...

And soldiers.

And you could ask the same
Question about getting married.

How many times have you
Stepped up to some poor woman

To say her husband
Isn't coming home?

And we still said "I do."

That I couldn't help.

You're so great
At imaging the worst.

That's part of why
You're good at your job.

But try, just...

For a minute...

...Imagining
Something better.

Woman: 911.
What's your emergency?

Tommy: yeah. These guys are in
A parking lot, fighting.

Someone just fired a gun.

Hold on, sir.
What's your name?

Tommy martinez.

What's your location,
Tommy?

20th and crenshaw --
The central food and gas mart.

Okay, tommy,

I'm going to dispatch a unit
To your location.

Stay on the line, please.

Wait, wait, wait.
I think they're leaving.

Hello?
Are you still there?

I'm still here.
The patrol car is coming.

That was very brave of you
To make that call, tommy,

So thank you for that.

What else can you tell me
About that night?

The boys
In the parking lot...

...How many were there?

I don't remember.

Do you remember
Who fired the gun?

I didn't see anything.
I just heard shots.

Were they older than you?
Younger?

Listen, lady, the only reason
I took this job

Is so I could save up money
For college.

That call I made --

That's just
'cause there was kids around.

So why don't you
Leave me alone?

I'm in enough trouble
As it is.

I wouldn't be asking you
These questions

If it wasn't a matter
Of life and death for someone.

Life and death.

Okay, look...

I saw a guy with
A nice cadillac, screaming...

At some other guys
To get away from it. That's it.

Did they threaten him
Or try to shoot him?

No, no, no.

The guy in -- in the car --
He's the one who fired the gun.

I thought you said
You didn't see that.

All right.

I'll tell you
About the guy in the car

That -- that shot his gun.

But I'm not gonna say anything
To you about those gangsters.

If they knew that I was
Sitting here talking to you,

They'd come after me.

Come on, man. You know.
Tell her.

What gang?

N.D.S.

Two of them.

I don't know their names,

But, uh, I recognized their
Faces from the neighborhood.

N.D.S are
The 19th street destroyers.

It's the affirmative-action gang
I was telling you about.

Um, they have a big chop-shop
Operation,

Mostly high-end car parts.

You recognized these boys?

Okay.

How about this --

What color
Was the cadillac?

Look, tommy, I understand that
Growing up in your neighborhood,

You must get really good at
Imagining how bad things can be.

But...

Try...

Just for a minute,
To imagine something better.

Because that's what
We're trying to do --

Make a safer place
For you and your family.

You can make a difference.

You can.

How about this instead?

I wrote down the license-plate
Number of the cadillac.

You -- you wrote down
The license-plate number,

And -- and you didn't show it
To the police?

I never had a chance.

By the time you guys got there,
Everyone was gone.

Cops just...Rolled through.
They didn't even stop.

Don't look so surprised,
Lady.

See, that's the way
You always do us.

Flynn:
His name is kelvin blake.

Registered owner
Of the vehicle.

Age 38.

He lives over on arlington,

About a mile and a half
From the service station.

Honestly, chief,
Seems like a nice guy.

Mm-hmm.
Who has a rap sheet,

Even though
It's from 20 years ago.

Still --
Drugs, petty theft.

Works as a foreman for
M&f construction company now.

Employed there
For the last 10 years.

So at least kelvin
Can hold down a job,

And he turned in his gun
Voluntarily.

Thank you.
Ballistics
Finished their report.

The bullet that killed reggie
Came from that gun.

Still doesn't prove
He pulled the trigger.

Taylor: chief johnson...
Yes.

...I spoke
To my robbery guys.

There's been a string
Of high-end carjackings recently

Within a few miles of
Father jack's community center.

I bet mostly
With the n.D.S.

So, uh, you think this
Kelvin blake guy's responsible

For the shooting?

Well, hopefully,
We'll know soon enough.

Sanchez: chief.
Yes.

I talked tommy
Into unofficially I.D.Ing

The two gangsters
From the parking lot,

Enrique santos
And alonso garcia.

How'd you do that?
Put together
Some photo lineups.

And I told him, "If our shooter
Here picks out the same guys,

You would never have to
Go to court."

And he believed you?
Oh.

Why do people
Ever talk to us?

All right.
Uh, thank you.

These, uh -- these will be
Very helpful.

Now, if you
And lieutenant flynn

Could track down
Mr. Santos and mr. Garcia,

Bring them in there,
Thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

Brenda:
Good evening, mr. Blake.

I'm deputy chief johnson.

I want to thank you so much

For being so cooperative
With my detectives.

I'm happy to help out.

Tell you the truth,
You know, these gangsters --

They got friends.

I'd rather just forget
About the whole thing.

Well, unfortunately, sir,
Discharging a firearm

In a public place
Is against the law.

So just forgetting about
The whole thing isn't an option.

I understand you were read
And waived your rights.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I -- I was just
Protecting myself.

Why don't you start

By walking us through
What happened last friday night?

Oh. Okay.

Um...

I got off work late.

Didn't feel like
Making dinner,

So I thought I'd go by
The gas mart and grab a hot dog.

And what time was that?

Um...

9:00. Little after 9:00.

Okay.

And so?

So I pulled in.

And I'm standing
At the register

When I look out
And I see two boys

Coming from across
The street.

And I-I recognized the look
On their faces,

'cause it's my hood, right?

And I'm thinking,
"I got to get back in my car

Before they steal it."

So I ran out,
Jumped in the driver's seat.

But they stood behind me.

See, they wouldn't let me
Back out.

Did they threaten you
In any way?

Yes!

They told me
To get out of the car.

This is the gun
That, uh...

You gave
My detectives, correct?

Yes, ma'am.

I mean, I knew people
Were gonna be after my car.

I mean, the rims alone.

I just thought I needed a little
Firepower to hold onto it.

So, wait, you bought a car

That you thought you needed
A gun to hang on to?

Wait a second.
Wait a second.

Let's just --
Let's just back up.

You got to understand, I mean,
I worked my whole life

To be able to have a car
Like that.

There was no way
I was gonna let them gangsters

Take my cadillac from me.

I mean, you would have done
The same thing, right, man?

Just...

What happened next, sir?

So they told me
To get out the car.

So I did, only they didn't know
I was armed, you know?

So right away,
I point the gun at them.

I told them to back off.

They just laugh at me, like --
Like I'm joking,

Tell me to give them my keys
Or else.

One of them said, "Homey, I'm
Gonna look great in your car."

I thought, "The hell you are,"
So I just...

Capped off a few rounds
Over their heads.

And what did they do?

They ran, both of them,

Talking about
"I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna get you."

I want you to think about this
Very carefully, kelvin.

What was going on
In your mind

When you pulled out
The gun?

I was afraid, you know?

I'm still afraid.

I mean, I got to drive down
That street every day.

I knew they'd probably remember
What I look like and my car.

I knew
They'd remember that, too.

Probably come and find me,
Just like you guys did.

Which is why it's so important
That you identify these men

So that they can't
Come and find you.

So if you could, um, please
Take a look at these gentlemen,

Tell me if you recognize
Anyone.

Yeah, that's one of them
Right there.

That's the other one.

You sure?
Yeah, yeah.

That's them.

Okay.

Thanks.

So, kelvin, tell me, um,

When you fired those rounds,

Did you ever wonder
Where they were gonna end up?

No.

Why?

What happened?

When you shot
At those boys,

One of the bullets went on
For a while --

Two whole blocks --

And ended up
In the back of the head

Of a man by the name
Of reggie gray.

No, no, no.
He died instantly.

Oh, no, no, no, no!

Oh, my god!
Oh, my --

I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to hurt nobody.

I didn't mean --

Oh, my god!

Oh, man!
Did he have a family?

Did he...

Probably shouldn't be
Too much longer.

So, sanchez and I
Spent all night

Looking for these two
Dirt bags.

We finally found them
This morning,

Walking up
To the same service station.

Probably gonna jack
Another car.

What's this?

Tao: we can now monitor
The electronics room

And the interview room
From out here...

And from two angles.

Or just one.

Or this one.

And it's wireless.

Pretty cool, huh?

Tao, would you stop moving
The picture around, damn it?

Y-you're making me dizzy.
Settle somewhere.

Man,
I want something to eat.

Yeah.

I'm not your waiter.

You have the right
To remain silent.

Anything you say
Can and will

Be used against you
In a court of law.

You have the right
To an attorney.

It's, like, amazing.

If you can't afford
A lawyer...

Excuse me for a minute.

Settle someplace, tao!
Now I'm not kidding!

Did you understand
What I just told you?

Alonso and enrique's
Rap sheets.

And we just got positive I.D.S
On both of them

For three other
Recent carjackings --

One at the same gas station
A few weeks ago.

Thank you, sergeant.

Let's see
What our busy little gangsters

Have to say for themselves.

Gentlemen...

Thank you so much
For joining us.

Stand up.

You're welcome,
Bitch.

Well...

So much for hello.

Do you have any idea why we
Asked you to pop by here today?

Alonso?

You want to have my baby?

I'll tell you this one time.

You better show some respect!

Or else.

Stand here.

Let's, uh --
Let's start over, shall we?

Uh, I believe that you gentlemen
Were shot at

In the parking lot
At the central food and gas mart

On crenshaw
The night before last.

Does that ring any bells?

Uh, lieutenant...

I think we found the guy
Who shot at you.

That's why you're here.

Y-you talking about
That fool?

Do you recognize him,
Enrique?

Yeah, the crazy bastard

Was at the filling station
The other night.

He was waving his gun around,
Shouting some bullshit.

But we left
After he started shooting.

Shooting

What do you mean, "At who"?
At us.

Now, why would this man
Fire his gun at you?

Did something happen?

Did you maybe
Pay too much attention

To his brand

It's a nice car, yeah.

But look, lady,
He's the crazy one,

Pointing his shiny
Little piece at us

Because we said
We liked his car.

What kind of a compliment
Did you pay his vehicle?

She means, "How did you tell him
You liked the car?"

Oh.

I just said, you know,

"I'd look real good
Driving that cadillac around."

'cause I would.
I bet you would.

Do you think
That maybe that's what this guy

Thought you were gonna do --

Jump in his car
And drive off in it?

Look, let me explain.

Uh, as interested
As I normally am in grand theft,

What I really want to
Know about today

Is who killed reggie gray?

Reggie who?

The guy who was shot
At the community center

Last friday night
By this man here.

Oh.

Oh, okay.
Oh, you see?

I told you
That dude was crazy.

He tried killing us, too.

Isn't that
Against the law, huh?

Yeah, he came after us.

And I was gonna mess
Him up, you know? I
Wanted to. But --

Well, you can forget all about
Settling scores with him,

Because
I'll be handling that.

All I want to know
From you boys

Is exactly what happened
Last friday night.

Look, even if you were,

Say, trying to drive off
In this man's car,

Murder is the only crime
I care about today.

Isn't that right,
Detective sanchez?

We're asking you to help us deal
With this guy who shot at you.

I mean, come on.
How often does that happen?

I want to know
About the moment

He started
Shooting at you, okay?

Yes?

Okay.

Look, we only said something
About...

...About taking the car.

We didn't actually do it.

And then that's
When he pulled the gun.

Sanchez: I'm surprised
You didn't grab it from him

And shove it
Down his throat.

Man, we thought about that,
You know,

But then he started --
Bam, bam, bam! --

Just like that. You know,
We knew he was serious.

Tell her, man.
Tell her that's the truth.

Sabes que we didn't even
Get in that car,

And that son of a bitch
Started shooting at us.

Can you believe that?
We didn't even get in it.

That's exactly
What I thought happened.

Now, if you could just, uh,
Write it all down,

Just what you said and, uh,
Sign it, and we'll be finished.

Write what down?

Just that you wanted to take
This man's car,

And for no other reason
Than that,

He illegally discharged
His weapon at you

And that you, uh,
Fled the scene.

Okay, wait a minute.
Wait.

Okay, we only tried
To steal the car.

We didn't take it.

I completely understand.

In fact,
Just describe it that way.

Say it just like that.

You only tried
To steal this man's car.

A-and underline the word
"Try"

So it's clear
That it was just an attempt.

That's a good idea.

Why is the chief unhappy?

That was the confession,
Wasn't it?

I mean,
Am I missing something here?

Flynn: she's probably
Already thinking

About how she's going to explain
All of this to reggie's mom.

You spelled
"Cadillac" wrong.

It's two l's.

We rigged this up in a day.

Imagine what we could do
In a week.

I'm breathless.

Okay.

Let me take a look
At that.

All right, uh, if you could
Just sign on the bottom.

All right, gentlemen.

I put the date
Right there, too.

Good idea.

Now,
I-I should probably explain

The, uh, felony murder rule
To you.

Oh, we don't care
About that.

As long as you got that fool,
We're good.

I'm starving.

No, no, no,
You really ought to understand

About your
Future responsibilities

In regards to reggie gray.

What responsibilities? We didn't
Agree to any responsibility.

S-shut up, alonso.

I got to eat, okay?
Can't this wait?

I hate to hold you up,

But, um...
You really should understand

What's gonna happen next,

Because when you're involved
In a robbery,

Like only trying to steal
This man's cadillac,

And someone gets shot
During that attempt,

Whether the victim
Is right in front of you

Or two blocks away,

If that person dies

As a result
Of your actions,

It's murder.

Wait, wait.
Wait a minute. Wait.

So we're like witnesses now
Or what?

Only if you decide
To testify.

All right.
Y-you're telling me
We got to go to court?

I'm afraid so.

But you don't have to testify
If you don't want to,

Because that's a right that you
Have under the 5th amendment.

Yeah.
Don't worry.

Your lawyer
Will explain it all to you.

No, wait. Lawyers?
We can't afford no lawyers.

I told you,
If you can't afford an attorney,

One will be appointed
For you.

Enrique santos
And alonso garcia...
W-w-wait,
What's going on here?

...You're both under arrest
For murder.

What are you doing?!
Get off me!
Hands down, too.

You'll figure it all out
By the time you're arraigned.

Looky here.
Now she's starting to perk up.

Oh, and, uh, if you boys
Are still hungry,

I'm sure we can rustle you up
Some bologna sandwiches

And powdered eggs.

And I hope you like them,
Because where you're going,

That's all you're gonna eat
For the rest of your lives.

Wait, wait. Hey, you get
Back here, you bitch!

We didn't kill nobody!

So, you think mrs. Gray's
Gonna be okay?

I think you defined
"Transferred intent"

And "Felony murder"
As well as anyone could have.

Guiding her through
The mourning process --

Well, that's more my job
Than yours.

Yeah.
It's just as well.

Having your child
Shot dead

Because someone was trying to
Steal a car two blocks away

Seems awfully random
To me.

Oh...
I wouldn't say that, no.

Please don't tell me
You think that reggie's murder

Was, what,
Part of god's grand design?

"God's grand design."

That's a little bit
Over my head.

But I don't believe
In random.

But there was no motive
In reggie's death.

And -- and where there's
No motive, there's no meaning.

Well, you only think
There's no meaning

'cause you're looking
For it.

But meaning isn't something
You find, chief johnson.

It's something you give.

Making sense
Out of reggie's murder --

Well, that's up to us.

So what meaning
Would you say it had?

Well, I'd say
That reggie's death

Had brought this community
Closer together,

Don't you think?

Including the neighborhood
And the police.

Including you and me.

Now, that's something
You don't see every day.

I can't believe
You're falling for this.

What's a little paint, huh?

It's not gonna
Change anything.

And tomorrow or next week,

This wall's gonna be covered
In graffiti again.

Well, until then...
