WOMAN: Oh, my God.

Mrs. Sanchez... you made the call?

Yes. I called.

That poor boy.

He shoot him because

he did not want to join the gang.

(shouts)

(fires gun)

(door closes, car starts)

Did you recognize who did it?

Yes.

It was Loco.

Loco Chavez.

He is the one who shoot that boy.

(sobbing)

Thank you, ma'am.

Loco Chavez.

Leader of the Firelake Bloods.

Yep.

Let's go get him.

Loco Chavez?

Loco Chavez?

Yeah?

Stand up.

Edmundo Chavez, I'm placing you under arrest

for the murder of Felipe Agula.

MAN: Hey.

MAN 2: Hey, man. Hey, man.

MAN: That ain't right.

Don't even think about it, guys.

What do you want us to do, Loco?

It's okay, fellas.

They got nothing.

Oh, wait.

Let me guess.

You got a witness?

Well let me tell you something, ése.

They had a witness last time, and the time before that,

and the time before that.

So I don't care about no witness.

Keep it tight, fellas.

I'll be back before you get a chance to miss me.

Sure you will. Let's go.

♪ Livin' on the dark side ♪

ALEX: You were at home at the time of the murder.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Could you please tell us what happened.

HANNAH: I hear a gun shot, so I...

I go to my front window, and I look outside.

(sighs)

It's okay.

Just take your time.

Tell us exactly what you saw.

I saw a man lying on the ground.

And I see another man with a gun.

He shoot him.

Then I saw him

get into a car and drive away.

Did you see that man's face?

Yes.

Is that man in the courtroom today?

Yes.

Would you please identify him?

It was him.

(crowd murmuring)

ALEX: Thank you.

Let the record show

that the witness indicated the defendant.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Your witness.

May I approach the witness, Your Honor?

Thank you.

You having trouble with your glasses?

Yes.

I need them adjusted.

They are new.

I know.

You picked 'em up just last Wednesday.

That is right.

And can you see better with your new glasses?

HANNAH: Yes. Much better.

ATTORNEY: I'm sure you can.

According to a doctor's report,

you had a radical change in your lens prescription.

Even though you were wearing your old glasses

and it was getting dark,

you say you clearly saw this man?

I am sure it was him.

Mrs. Sanchez, you keep saying "him."

Do you know his name?

Yes.

It's Loco. Loco Chavez.

Could you please tell the court,

what do you know about Mr. Chavez?

He is part of a gang

that is terrorizing the neighborhood.

So you don't like him?

Isn't that right, Mrs. Sanchez?

You do not like my client.

And because you don't like him, you thought

you'd do the neighborhood a favor

by getting rid of him. Isn't that true? No.

In fact, you hate him, don't you? No.

Isn't that true? Yes.

Yes.

I mean...

I submit that you cannot positively identify the man

that you saw,

and that my client is an innocent victim

of your prejudice. No.

(crying): No...

No further questions, Your Honor.

( dramatic theme playing)

I'm sorry, Miss Cahill.

I know I let you down.

You did your best, Hannah.

Does this mean that Loco will go free?

No. Not yet.

We have one more witness.

Your neighbor, Mr. Mercado.

Bitch.

You better keep your doors locked, lady.

Don't let him frighten you.

Come on.

Hey, Adam. Where's your helmet?

I'm not wearing that stupid piece of plastic.

Oh, yes you are, young man.

Let's go.

Hi.

Welcome to Station 76.

My name is Jacob Crossland. How you doing today?

ALL: Fine.

All right.

Now, I've been a firefighter for, uh, 12 years.

Is that your dad?

JACOB: A firefighter's job is to save lives...

Yeah. Wow.

That's cool. I wish my dad was a fireman.

You just think you do.

This fireman stuff is corny.

Adam. Shh.

Not glamorous or exciting.

You can, uh, just ask Mr. Keith over there.

What do you say, Keith?

Well, I, you know, just... Whoops!

(kids laughing)

Meant to do that.

Now, when we're not out on a call,

what we have to do is make sure

that all of our equipment is in excellent working condition.

Now what do you say we take a closer look

at this fire engine, huh?

KIDS: Yeah.

Who would like to, uh, blow the siren?

KIDS: Me! Huh?

All right, how about you?

Come here, young lady.

Get up here in the officers' seat.

And put your foot on that button right there.

(sirens wailing) Oh!

(laughs)

That's the fun part.

( suspenseful hip-hop theme playing)

(lighter flicks)

(loud crashing)

Now as you can see, a firefighter has

a whole lot of different responsibilities.

(fire bell rings)

All right, kids, back behind that white line.

Josie, take those kids over there. You know the drill.

WOMAN (over P.A.): Attention, Engine Company 72,

respond to house fire, 1600 Black...

Sorry, folks. We gotta go to work!

Engine Company 72, respond to house fire.

(siren wailing)

(horn honks)

I remember when this was a good place to live.

Lots of loving families and friends who cared.

Well, it can be again.

Putting Loco behind bars is the beginning of the end

of the Firelake Blood gang.

I wish I could have been of more help.

Maybe someday the gangs will be gone.

Maybe someday soon.

You can stay at the center for as long as you need.

Gracias, Miss Cahill.

Real sorry about your house, ma'am.

We got here as soon as we could.

These things are never as bad as they appear.

Wanna go take a look?

Huh?

Yeah.

Alex, I've been, uh,

meaning to stop by the center and see you.

I wanna thank you for letting Adam

perform his community service at the center.

Well, I'm just glad the judge agreed.

I mean, spray painting parked cars.

I can't believe he did that.

Lou Ann and I tried too hard for that.

Adam is a good boy.

It's just a difficult age.

I mean, you know how

peer pressure can be overwhelming.

I hope he learned his lesson.

Anyone hurt?

No.

Thank goodness Hannah wasn't home.

You know what caused it?

Found fragments from a gasoline firebomb.

Wanna take a look?

Yeah.

(growling, shooting)

Adam... your father's going to be on TV.

Oh, big deal. Who cares?

You should care.

He's your father.

( hip-hop theme playing)

(all cheering)

Hey, look.

Orale, ése. Turn it up.

Considerable property damage,

but we arrived in time

to save the basic structure.

WOMAN: Was it arson?

JACOB: Yeah, all the evidence would point in that direction.

You know, you seem to be particularly affected by this.

Do you have any other comments?

Yeah, just one.

Uh...

I'd sure like to meet the coward that did this.

Must be a really big man.

Must take a lot of guts to make a defenseless old woman cry.

I'm sure your mother's real proud.

Thanks.

Well, there you have it.

Hey, ése. You heard that?

Yeah. I heard it.

Bring you details as we get them.

Anita Chavez, Channel Nine News.

Back to you in the studio.

If you would like to help Hannah,

please contact the Dallas Help Our People Excel Center..

Mom, can I play my game now?

Not right now.

MAN: In other news, a Plano man

serving a 31-year term for bank robbery...

Hi, honey.

Saw you on the news.

(scoffs)

I guess I shouldn't have mouthed off like that, huh?

It just shows you care. Right.

Dad, you got 10 bucks?

What for?

I wanna go to Raging Waters with Lee.

Adam, you're grounded until you finish

your community service, remember?

All right, I'll tell you what we can do.

I'll give you the 10 bucks,

we'll go see Miss Cahill at the center,

you can give it to that lady whose house burned down.

What do you say? Miss Cahill's center?

Yeah. I don't wanna go there.

I have to go there every day...

Son, we are going there, and that's final.

Now, come on.

Why should I go with you, huh? You never go to my soccer games.

I only miss those games when I'm on duty.

You're always on duty! That's the only time.

I hate that dumb old job, and I hate you.

Hey. You can hate me all you want,

but you will not disrespect me.

Now, you go in your room and get your stuff. We're leaving.

That's it.

Go on.

Oh. Thank you.

Ah, gracias.

(speaks indistinctly)

ALEX: Look who's here.

Yeah, we brought a few things for Hannah.

Oh.

Hi.

I'm Jacob's wife, Lou Ann.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Our son, uh, Adam,

has something he'd like to give you too.

Sorry about your house.

Here.

It's for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I am sorry, Miss Cahill, but I just can't risk it.

But you were an eyewitness to the murder, Mr. Mercado.

I mean, your testimony is crucial to Loco's conviction.

I know. But look at what happened to Hannah.

If it was just me, it would be different.

But I have my family.

My... My daughter and my grandson to think about.

And how safe do you think your family's gonna be

if Loco goes free?

I know you're right.

Believe me, the best thing you can do for your family,

for yourself, for your neighborhood,

is to testify.

I gotta go.

I can't be late for work.

Please, Mr. Mercado. Please.

Think of your grandson.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could grow up

in a neighborhood without gangs?

I'm sorry.

(sighs)

Hey, Chato. No way Loco's going to prison this time, homey.

(speaks Spanish)

A Blood never abandons a brother.

Look.

There's Pete.

Yeah.

That vato's supposed to testify against Loco.

Oh, that's not gonna happen.

( slow, dramatic theme playing)

Damn.

My coffee's cold.

No Elrod, no guns and my coffee's cold.

This guy supplies guns to half the gangs in Dallas.

Nobody sees anything, and my coffee's cold.

Just yesterday you were a little baby yourself.

( ominous, hip-hop theme playing)

(speaking Spanish)

Sarita, I need to talk to you.

Sit down. Come on.

Did you see Miss Cahill today?

Yes.

She wants me to testify against Loco.

What do you think I should do?

You always told me

that if I did what's right

things would work out, eh?

Do you still believe that?

Oh, yes, I do, but, uh...

it could get very dangerous for you and the baby.

Papá, it's dangerous now.

(chuckles)

I can't argue with that.

I don't know what to do.

I guess I'll... I'll call Miss Cahill in the morning.

Okay. Mwah.

Don't worry, huh?

Papa, will you watch the baby

while I go out for some groceries, eh?

Sure.

Okay.

Say, how's that boy of yours doing?

I don't know.

Sure seems like every time we start a conversation,

we get into an argument.

Oh, it's a tough age. Give him time.

Yeah, when I was his age, I was a lot worse than he is.

And I will take three.

(people chattering)

Doctor?

Mrs. Crossland, I was able to remove the bullet,

but I'm afraid it's caused extensive damage.

Will he be all right?

Well, I... I don't wanna build false hopes.

He's still not out of the woods.

And if he does live,

there may well be paralysis.

( dramatic theme playing)

I'm sorry.

You know, I always thought that he might...

get hurt someday.

Or... that he might get burned.

But to be shot for doing his job?

This isn't right.

This isn't fair.

Lou Ann, two people are alive because of Jacob.

But why did it have to be my dad?

Because he's a very brave man, Adam.

(crying)

Walker. We have a problem.

What is it?

I just spoke to the hospital.

Pete Mercado is gonna be fine,

but he's suffering from smoke inhalation.

He won't be able to testify for a few days.

We don't have a few days.

(sighs)

Someone in the neighborhood must've seen something.

Yeah.

Trivette and I will check it out.

Thanks.

( slow rock theme playing)

(doorbell rings)

(door opens)

Mr. Salizar, I'm Ranger Walker.

This is Ranger Trivette. Yeah?

Sir, we need to ask you about

the murder that happened out here recently.

Look, uh, I-I don't know anything about that.

I mean, I heard about it,

but, uh, no, I didn't see nothing.

What about the incident that happened here yesterday:

the fire and the killing?

Were you here?

Yeah.

Wanna tell us what you saw?

Well, nothing.

I mean, I must've been inside watching TV.

Sir, it was like World War III out here.

Look, uh, I got nothing else to say, okay?

So please, just leave me alone.

Sure seems scared.

Yeah. Too scared.

Okay, okay. I did what you said.

This time, ése.

But what about next time?

(door creaks open)

(men grunting)

(bones crack)

Huh. Thanks.

You saved my life.

You can thank us by telling us what happened yesterday.

You say anything... Down.

Next time, we may not be here to save you.

( dramatic theme playing)

It was Tuesday.

I remember because it was trash day.

I was taking out my trash when I heard the gunshots.

(shouts)

That's when I saw him.

ALEX: Loco Chavez?

JOE: Yeah. Loco.

He shot him.

Came around the car...

(gunshots)

shot him one last time.

Got in the car, drove away.

Like it was nothing at all.

ALEX: Mr. Salizar, could you please tell us

where you were at the time of the shooting?

Uh, on the side of the house bringing out my trash.

And what did you hear?

( slow, dramatic theme playing)

ALEX: Mr. Salizar, what did you hear?

(quietly clears throat)

A noise.

Could you be more specific?

Maybe a...

car backfiring.

ALEX: Mr. Salizar.

Are you aware that you are under oath?

Yeah.

Then why don't you confirm

that the noise you heard actually was a gunshot?

Objection, Your Honor.

The prosecution's leading the witness.

Sustained.

Okay, Mr. Salizar, in your own words,

would you please describe the noise?

Uh, a car backfiring.

And what exactly did you see after the noise?

Nothing.

I didn't see nothing.

Are you saying that you didn't see the defendant,

Loco Chavez, standing over the victim with a gun?

That's right.

No further questions, Your Honor.

(elevator bell dings)

It might help if you talked about it.

Situation is beyond help.

Loco's gonna walk.

Joe lied under oath today,

and I've got no more witnesses.

You almost can't blame them.

They're so afraid of what might happen.

We'll find a way.

( somber theme playing)

How's Jacob?

No change.

He's still in a coma.

He's, um... He's still critical.

How is Adam taking it?

(sighs)

Just before Jacob left for work,

he and Adam had an argument.

It really tore Adam up.

He loves his daddy... he does

but... things were said.

I'll go talk to him.

Thanks, Ranger Walker.

I didn't mean it.

Didn't mean what?

Told my dad I hated him.

I didn't mean it.

I don't hate you, Dad.

God, I don't.

Ranger Walker.

Is my dad gonna die?

Only God can answer that, Adam.

Maybe we should talk to Him.

Dear God...

please, please don't let my dad die.

I know he'd go to heaven

and be with you and Jesus if he did,

but I don't want him to die.

Could you please make him well?

Please, God. Please.

Amen.

Amen.

( emotional theme playing)

ALEX: Here, let me help you.

It's a long reach.

Look at this. And in alphabetical order.

Adam, I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Miss Cahill.

You know, you only have an hour and 15 minutes left

in your community service.

Miss Cahill, I was wondering.

What is it?

Could I, uh, like...

still help out sometimes after school?

You mean volunteer?

Of course you can.

It would be wonderful.

We'd love to have you.

You keep up the good work.

I'm gonna go help in the art class.

( menacing hip-hop theme playing)

You gotta help me.

They're trying to kill me.

Who?

(men grunting)

Come on, man.

(grunting)

(gasping)

Come on.

Get up. You're not dead. Move!

Ranger Walker. I didn't tell you the truth.

I saw Loco shoot that man.

And I saw all of them shooting at the fire engine.

(men grunting)

I saw him too.

MAN: I'll testify against Loco.

I saw the murder.

MAN 2: Me too.

MAN 3: I did too.

Well I'm sure the judge will declare a mistrial,

and you'll all have the opportunity to testify.

It look like we may get our neighborhood back after all.

(all clapping, cheering)

And if your father had seen how you handled yourself in there,

he would've been very proud.

MAN: Putting their lives on the line

in the face of incredible odds.

Ladies and gentlemen,

that is the true meaning of heroism.

And with that in mind...

At this time would Keith Rockwell

please come forward?

( hopeful theme playing)

For your actions above and beyond the call of duty,

and for placing your life in extreme danger to save others,

it is my privilege to present to you

the Distinguished Service Medal.

(applause, cheering)

Thank you.

Our next award is a very special tribute

to the bravery of Jacob Crossland.

For 12 years he served in Station 76.

Four weeks ago he was shot

while saving a man from a burning house.

I think all of us who have worked with him would agree

that the name Jacob Crossland represents

the finest example of what a firefighter strives to be.

Because of his heroic act,

the man he rescued is with us here this evening.

That is why I am so proud

to present the department's highest award,

the Medal of Valor...

to Jacob Crossland.

(applause, cheering)

MAN: Come on, Jacob!
