SHIFT LIEUTENANT: All right
everyone, find your seats.

You sit right here.

Today's the same

The brass want bodies.
All you got.

All corners are indicted.
All drug-free zones are empty.

All the humbles are in play.
We clear the streets.

Lieutenant,
you know this is bullshit.

They cut most of them guys loose
right inside of the jail doors.

So what? We still leave
the corners empty for the night,

and if the corners are empty,

they can't
fuckin' shoot each other.

This is the priority.

And if you don't give

to explain why.

- HAIRSTON: It's a date.

Loitering in a drug-free zone,

failure to yield,
failure to obey.

What's any of that do in court?

Doesn't go to court.
Pulls them off the street

till they see
the Court Commissioner

in the morning,
then they drop the charges.

Or if the ASA cuts him loose
on the jail side,

- then maybe he's indoors till early morning.
- Man, fuck you!

- And that's a good thing?
- That's what they want.

Like the LT says,
if we clear the corners,

they'll stop
shooting each other.

If they stop shooting
each other,

the murder rate goes down,

and if the murder rate
goes down,

the mayor
gets to be the governor.

(SCOFFS) So all this is
about the mayor, huh?

BARBER: Fuckin' O'Malley
promised he'd get

- Watch our six.

JENSEN: Gondo stayed

RAYAM: We didn't need him.

Me and Glen was enough
if the place was empty.

And Gondo didn't wanna risk it.

In case for some reason
Anderson was up in there.

He thought Anderson
might recognize him or whatever.

Anderson knew Gondo

because of how Gondo

- Man, this is fucked.
- DETENTION OFFICER: Come on.

STATE ATTORNEY: Let me see

Yeah. So, Anderson gave us
Shropshire's phone number

and we checked the logs,
and sure enough,

we can confirm that
there was, uh,

numerous conversations
between the two.

DAVID MCDOUGALL: Yeah. That,
and the times and durations

of those phone calls,

plus observation
of suspected drug activity

should give us, uh,

enough to get a wire
on Shropshire's mobile.

And we'll get a tracker
on Shropshire's car

for good measure.

So that's the status
of the narcotics probe. (SIGHS)

At this point,
there's enough for us

to look at the possibility
that we have

another investigation
to spin off.

Leo here is gonna be heading up

everything and anything
we come across

regarding police involvement
with these guys.

And I've invited
Special Agent Jensen

and Sergeant Sieracki,

a Baltimore police officer
with city IAD

and detail to the FBI
public corruption squad

to sit in
and begin gathering string.

Great. Well, uh... (SIGHS)

...we got a whole ball
of yarn as it stands. (SIGHS)

For starters, Anderson claims
Shropshire has an in

with a Baltimore City
narcotics detective.

Name he had was "G-Money."

Anderson alleges
that Shropshire said

he and G-Money
grew up together and were tight.

- (SCOTT KILPATRICK GRUNTS)
- Specifics?

(PEN SCRIBBLING)

So far, only
that Anderson believes

that G-Money
"has Shropshire's back."

Those are his words.

And we think that's why
Anderson was worried

that G-Money
might tip off Shropshire

that he was cooperating with us.

And then,
of course, the second tracker.

MCDOUGALL: Right. Uh, no way yet
to know how this fits in,

but when we retrieved
our tracker

from Anderson's vehicle,
we found

- a second tracking device.
- Go on.

MCDOUGALL:
We subpoenaed the records,

and it was bought
by John Clewell,

who happens to be
a Baltimore police officer

assigned to a citywide
plainclothes unit chasing guns.

So what's interesting
is why would a detective's

privately-owned tracker
be attached

to a known
drug dealer's vehicle?

JOHN SIERACKI:
Well, I do know that the, uh...

the city guys
are often short on equipment,

and, uh... (SIGHS)

...they've been known
to buy or rent their own gear.

That's true,
but here's the kicker. So far,

we haven't heard one word
from anyone in Baltimore City.

Not a call.
Not a word from Clewell

or anyone
in the Gun Trace Task Force.

And it's been weeks
since we arrested Anderson

and found their tracker.

It's still just sitting
in my desk.

- Does the tracker have value?
- They're not cheap. (SIGHS)

That says something.

Sure does.

who reported witnessing
a Detective Momodu Gondo,

who he worked with
on the Gun Trace Task Force,

and whose nickname is,
wait for it, G-Money.

in the company of Shropshire,
who Guinn knew to be

in Northeast Baltimore.

Guinn describes the two men as,

Later, Guinn said
that Gondo told him

that Shropshire
and him grew up together

and it was just talk
that Shropshire

- was a drug dealer.
- Any follow-up by us?

No, not that I can tell.

This is all that came up
from the field office.

Oh. Well, at least
the information

was memorialized. (SIGHS)
Okay, anything else?

Well, only that I checked
and it seems

that Gondo is still assigned
to the Gun Trace Task Force.

Interesting.

- You'll interview Guinn?
- On it.

Yeah, this is Wise.

What is this?

LEO WISE:
Oh, yeah, that is for the...

- (WHISPERS) Is it?

(SCOFFS) No. (CHUCKLES) I lied.
I was trying to impress you.

- Oh, it worked.
- I know.

I was at the stove
fixing plates.

Kendal heard a noise
and went out back to check.

Then we heard,
like, a machine gun go off.

The children ran
to the hall closet.

Kendal taught them to do that
because in June,

a bullet came
through the window. (SIGHS)

I ran outside...

he was lying on the ground.

Did you see anyone else?

- Just Kendal in the alley.
- (DISTANT INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Do you have family coming?

They're on the way.

Can you go on?

I saw a partially completed
fence out back.

Can you tell me about that?

(ELECTRIC CURRENT BUZZING)

TECHNICIAN: All set.
Any problem, give me a call.

You have authorization for 24/7,

but if after the first month,
you wanna limit your time,

SHROPSHIRE: You'll get it.

SHROPSHIRE: Ain't no question.

- Sergeant Guinn?
- RYAN GUINN: That's me.

- Special Agent Jensen, FBI.
- Whatever it is, I didn't do it.

I'm sure you didn't, ah,

and I have to tell you,
I dread this interview.

Whoa! This doesn't sound good.

It's just that we dropped
the ball back at The Bureau,

and now I'm back. (SIGHS)

My report on Detective Gondo.

- (PA BELL RINGING)
- Exactly.

RECEPTIONIST: Sergeant Janu,
call for you...

All right, but what happened
with all the secret-agent,

- cloak-and-dagger stuff?
- The what?

GUINN: Two years ago,
when I called Woodlawn,

an agent told me to wait outside
of Walters Art Gallery at...

I forget what time, and I did.

A van pulls up,
side door slides back

and an agent waves me in.

I mean, I thought
it was a little over-the-top...

(CHUCKLES) ...but seeing
as you just walked in here

like a normal pedestrian,
I know it was.

Well, working back, the feeling,

I guess,
is that the heat is off.

But it isn't?

Something happening
with Gondo now?

Let's just say that if you could
revisit the concerns

you had two years ago,

- it would be helpful.
- (PA BELL RINGING)

RECEPTIONIST: Officer Boyd,
there's call for you on line 3.

Boyd, call on line 3.

You know
that gut feeling you get

when something ain't right?

That's the feeling I got
when I saw

Gondo and Shropshire together
at Mo's Seafood.

It was that loose-vibe feel

you get with two friends
at lunch.

Now, I probably would've
let it slide

but when Gondo ran me this line
on how Shropshire's cool,

you know, a good guy
from the neighborhood,

- a red flag went up.
- Did you say anything to Gondo?

No. I mean, you can't help
where you grew up and all that,

but... (CHUCKLES)
...Gondo was playing it hard

on how Shropshire
was a good guy,

and that was some bullshit.

I knew Shropshire
was moving weight, and...

Gondo had to know that, too.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

RECEPTIONIST: You're calling
for Ron? Let me check.

- Get that article I sent?
- Oh, it's right here.

- Sean, right?
- Yeah, my name is Sean, Sarge.

Looks like your vic
was a civilian.

Well, worker and a family man.

So this guy gets gunned down
for putting up a fence

to keep drug dealers
from cutting through his yard?

I don't know yet.

Well, word from upstairs
is the commissioner

and some City Hall pols
are headed over

to Park Heights to finish
the fence for TV cameras.

Yeah, I kinda
doubt the fence thing.

He got shot five times.

So shooter's maybe got
anger management issues

- a little beyond a fence.
- Let it play as is.

You never know,
maybe it moves somebody

to call in a lead.

Look, taxpayer murder

rates a second detective
and you're new.

You want somebody
with you on this?

I'm good.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

Well, I'll be damned.

Yeah, we've got
that number all over

Shropshire's phone
in the records dump.

A string of calls
going back two months.

No, nothing fresh
on the tap yet.

But, shit, we've only been up
for a couple days.

So, uh, we'll keep
our eyes out for sure.

Thanks.

That was Erika.

This number that's all over
Shropshire's call list?

That's the mobile phone number
of Detective Momodu Gondo

of the Baltimore
Police Department.

(PEN CLATTERS)

- Well, fuck me.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

So, you get that I'm with the
Civil Rights Division, right?

I'm a fed, but I'm not
the kind of fed that,

- you know...
- I get it.

So I'm not chasing you
or anyone like you.

I don't want you to snitch
or testify in court.

I'm just trying
to write some truths

about guys like Hersl,
same as you.

I hear you,
but what you want me to say

that I ain't already said?

I mean, I put it
all out there in the song,

and don't think
I ain't been made to pay for it.

Soon as Hersl and his boys
heard that rap,

they got on me even worse.

- How?
- More harassment. More charges.

Shit never ends.

STEELE: Is there anything else
you can tell me beyond the rap?

Is there anything more?

- He steals.
- Excuse me?

Hersl steals.
He go into your pockets.

I'm gonna call Leo and Erika.

They need to know
that we caught Gondo

on the hook with Shropshire.

I wonder why Gondo
took half a conversation

to tell Brill to call him
on Face Time?

He knows we can't track
those calls.

Why does he
talk on the phone at all?

He got sloppy? We got lucky.

(TAPS SHOULDER)

he was an innocent person

trying to protect his children.

Okay. This is a devastating
crime for the family.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

Mr. Fenwick was a family man,
a good man,

a community leader and a friend.

And this was his home,
and he was murdered

in broad daylight,
just a few yards

from his property
while building a fence...

Quite a show up the block.

I guess it's that.

- Guess so.

SUITER: Yeah, that's my problem.

I'm the detective

somebody's been
tracking you. So...

SHROPSHIRE:
Ain't no question.

I'ma pop it

GONDO: You know, I don't

Just be mindful of that, Brill.

Yeah, Leakin Park. Me neither,

It's one of those

And I'm guessing you're neither.

Would I get your name
and call you otherwise?

Like an idiot... (SIGHS)

...I made it clear
to my sergeant,

my lieutenant, even my major,

that I don't like the way
we go about policing.

So here I am, 32-years-old,
and out to pasture.

But a lot of guys feel like me.

- (SIGHS)

that'll blow your mind.

Like this, for example.

This happened a few weeks ago.

Young man

Reginald Samuels.
And I wanted you all to know,

that even with you people
in town, looking into our mess,

this shit still goes on.
Like we can't help ourselves.

- Why not?
- It's a numbers game.

Squad's numbers were down,
Sergeant wasn't happy.

So we got our marching orders.
(CLICKS FINGERS)

Bring in bodies.

I mean, this happens
in every district,

every day, year after year.

won't get out of their cars
to spite Mosby.

Probably Allers brought him
from Southern, or some shit.

Just to confirm,
this is Sergeant Allers,

supervisor,
now with the DEA Task Force?

(PAPER RUSTLING)

That right there is M.
That's G, and that's A.

It's me, Gondo, and Allers.

Allers also stole money
with you?

Yes, ma'am. He did.

Oh, shit. So...

So you think because Allers
was a sergeant, he was immune?

Sergeants and lieutenants
got to do admin work,

and guess what?
They don't make overtime

on them office hours. So they're
hungrier for their share

of whatever cash we pull.

Jenkins didn't invent anything.

This shit been goin' on
for a long while.

Um, Officer Ray am,

can you clear
something else up for us?

Happy to help.

We were going back
through your IAD files

contemporaneous to your, uh,

- time working plainclothes.
- RAYAM: Wow.

- That must have taken a while.
- (JENSEN SCOFFS)

Do you recall
lying to investigators

and failing a polygraph
relative to a 2009 incident

where 11,000 dollars was stolen?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

It's on my list.
I just haven't gotten to it yet.

That was a car stop
off of Barclay.

Sup, blood? What we got?

- (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
- Seatbelt violation.

Oh, wow. Well,
we can't have that, right?

Those motherfuckers save lives.

(CHUCKLES)

RAYAM:
Hey, sir, step out the car.

- (KEYS JINGLING)
- Give me them keys.

- GARY BROWN: Why?
- Give him your fucking keys.

- Come here. Sit down.

DISPATCHER: (OVER RADIO)
Be advised, 6-Baker-21

had an armed carjacking
in the 3400 block...

- The fuck?
- RAYAM: Uh, hey, hey,

eyes up here.

How much you got in here?

- Eleven thousand.
- RAYAM: (WHISTLES) Wow.

That's the equity from
when I refinanced my house.

Yeah, the equity he got
when he was

refinancing his house, right?
(CHUCKLES)

- ♪ (MUSIC FADES) ♪
- That's funny. Equity, my ass.

All right? We're gonna
go ahead and submit that

down to Evidence Control,

and the only way you get
your little "equity" back,

look at me, motherfucker,

is if you show up
with the bank paperwork.

You hear me? Let me see that.

Oh, yeah. That's a lot
of refinancing you doing, huh?

"Equity," motherfucker.
They say anything

- these motherfucking days.
- (CHUCKLES)

So then what happened?

Sly took the bag. (SIGHS)
Me and him split it up later.

So you did take the money?

- All of it.
- And you lied about it?

Damn right, I lied about it.

Look, I've been doing this
a long time, all right?

And them mopes at IAD couldn't
catch clap at a whorehouse.

SIERACKI: And when questioned,
you even lied to IAD

about knowing Sylvester.

Yup.

You were with him
in the Academy.

That's right.

Did IAD ever confront you
on that lie?

- Well, they didn't charge me.
- (SIERACKI SCOFFS)

And, uh,
according to this report,

in the four months
before and after this incident,

you called him 474 times.

Yeah, I did. (CLICKS TONGUE)
Look, I didn't think they were

smart enough
to, uh, pull my phone records.

But y'all were. Weren't you?

You know what, check this out.

Couple months later,
they set up an integrity sting.

They wanted
to catch Sly knocking off

some cadet playing undercover.

My man took, like,
seventy bucks in marked bills,

and when they popped his locker,
they found coke.

But IAD fucked that simple
shit up so bad... (LAUGHS)

State's Attorney's Office
had to drop the charges.

So even though
they had me dead up,

because I blew
the fucking box, get this.

They only suspended me.
For two years. With pay.

And when they reinstated me,
me, they put me in a unit

made up of a bunch
of the biggest crooks

in the whole goddamn department.

That's how fucked up
this shit is. (CHUCKLES)

I mean, there's all this money
to be made,

and... and I'm somehow
supposed to be

playing by the book
with these motherfuckers?

(LAUGHS) Yeah, fuck that.

Got me fucked up.

Ma'am, do you know

are doing every day?

No.

They sure as hell
ain't policing.

'Cause if you wanna do this job,

so many complaints

is 'cause they're coming
