[pop music playing]

Higher, Mom! Higher!

[man] 'Give it up. Give me that.'

'What you got? What you got?'

You ready for me, right? You ready for me?

Uh-oh.

Alright. Alright.

[grunts]

'Boom! Give me that!'

[man #1] Oh, give me that.

You ready for it?

Where I'm going? Where I'm going?

Come on, now.

Ain't said nothing.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

[girl] Do an "underdog," Mom.

Alright, Miss Fish.

One underdog coming up.

[man #1] Ah, nothing but net.

[automatic gunfire]

[woman #1] No!

Kayla!

Baby, wake up.

Wake up for mommy.

[sobbing] Please.

'Kayla!'

[tires screeching]

Nick.

Record lows out there, Scotty.

Yeah.

Hey, Lil.

Kind of chilly in here, too.

I, um..

...hear you went to Christina's bar.

- Yeah? From who? - From her.

Me and Nicky went for a couple beers.

Not like we knew she was working there.

Ain't that right?

Gospel.

Uh-huh.

I ain't interested in your sister, Lil.

Good.

'Cause she's a train wreck.

Okay.

- And she didn't hit on you-- - No.

You know the mayor's gun recovery program?

Turn in a weapon, get a pair of sneakers?

This kid from Strawberry Mansion

turned that in a month ago

'for a pair of "Allen Iversons".'

And FIU finally got around to it?

Turns out the gun's got a body on it.

Drive-by shooting, 1987.

- The job ever come in? - Unsolved.

Victim was a six-year-old girl.

And this is what killed her?

Rifling matched a projectile found at the scene.

This is Jason James

and his son, Jason Jr.

Stupid here's the one who took

my gun without permission, turned it in.

How was I supposed to know it was hot?

Sayin' I did?

Mr. James, how long did you own this gun?

Five years.

Bought it at a gun show... Bare Arms Bonanza.

- You got proof of that? - Nah.

But I remember the guy I bought it from.

"Uncle Sam" Murray.

'Wears the crazy hat and everything.'

Gun's got a history, Mr. James.

It killed a little girl.

So maybe it was a good thing I turned it in?

Take off those shoes.

- Dad, it's snowing outside. - Get 'em off!

You ain't profiting off of someone getting killed.

[sighs]

How much you pay for this, back in 2000?

89 bucks.

That's cheap.

Well, it was used.

[theme music]

[Valens] Drive-by at Langston Hughes Park.

[Stillman] Theory at the time was a drug war over turf.

Kayla Odoms was hit when a bullet ricocheted

off the basketball pole.

Yeah, got her in the chest.

'Cops in '87 figured the real target'

was one of the players or onlookers.

Two of the spectators were ex-cons.

One was a known drug dealer.

Six others with petty records at the scene.

That's a big suspect pool.

A 911 caller, Rodney Johnson

calls it in from a pay-phone three blocks away.

Three blocks?

Cell phones were science fiction

in '87, Scotty.

Got anything on the car?

Beige, two-door sedan.

No I.D. on the make or plates.

[Stillman] 'I'll send Vera and Jeffries'

to talk to the family.

We'll go see the gun dealer

who sold the MAC to Jason James.

Yeah, this, uh, Uncle Sam character.

What do you guess the "time to crime" was

on this weapon?

Less than a week?

What, for a Mac 10?

I bet someone bought that bad boy

and used it in a crime that very day.

We lost Kayla 18 years ago.

Why we got to relive it now?

Mom, they got a good lead with this gun.

Let's start with you, Mr. Odoms.

Where were you when Kayla got shot?

I was driving a cab till 1:30.

And you Darnell?

Home watching TV.

The man you see here... he was just a pup

back then.

Turned 12 that day.

Kayla was killed on your birthday?

Do you know she'd be 24 now?

Can you remember who was at the park that night, Mrs. Odoms?

I just remember Kayla talking a blue streak on those swings.

Mm, that girl, she could talk.

So I wasn't paying much attention to anyone else.

Till after..

You think Darnell liked the fishes I got him?

I know he did.

You don't think he minded I named them for him?

He can change them if he wants to.

No, he can't.

Guaramis got to be called Kissy-face

'cause the way their mouths go.

You know what Darnell wants to be when he grows up?

- What? - An ichthyologist.

Ichthyologist?

Yeah, fish doctor.

Where do you get these words?

From Darnell. He's real smart.

[man #1] 'This show ain't over yet, B.'

- We're just getting started. - 'Higher, Mom, higher!'

Do an "underdog," Mom.

Alright, Miss Fish.

One underdog coming up.

[automatic gunfire]

No!

Kayla!

[screams]

'Baby, wake up.'

Oh, my God.

Don't touch me!

[weeping] Don't nobody touch me.

Hey, someone call an ambulance.

[man] Ain't no phones working around here.

Besides, ain't no use anyway.

Girl's dead.

She's not dead.

She's gonna wake up.

I'll find a phone, alright.

Just don't worry.

Please.

Kayla!

I didn't let her out of my arms till the paramedics got there

30 minutes later.

What were you doing at the park

at 10:00 p.m.?

It was stifling that night.

Me and Kayla couldn't sleep.

We went out for a walk.

If we'd just stayed home, Kayla would be alive.

You couldn't have known what was going to happen that night.

'I've been telling her that'

for 18 years.

We both have.

Don't matter.

It's still my fault.

And always will be.

[country music playing]

Well, here's a handsome couple.

Uncle Sam Murray?

Let me guess.

Firearm for the missus.

Strictly self-defense.

Am I right?

You sold a MAC-10 to a man named Jason James

'five years ago?'

I've been selling quality firearms

for close to 20 years.

Can't expect me to remember one sale.

That's why we brought this.

You recognize him?

He do something wrong?

Gun did something wrong.

Little girl was killed with it.

Hey, that ain't my fault.

I'm a dealer, I don't got to

do background checks--

Where'd you get the gun?

You sayin' I had something to do with a shooting?

Maybe, if you owned it in '87.

That is a wild accusation.

I resent it, I abhor it

- I deny it. - Hey, Uncle Sam, listen up.

You had the gun in 2000.

We've got to trace it to '87.

So where and when did you get the MAC-10?

I got it in '99.

Keep going.

I was visiting my dad

at the Delaware Downs Housing Projects.

[children laughing]

- You missed, fool. - Missed, my ass.

'I busted a cap in you, missed my ass.'

[mimicking gunfire]

Don't shoot, players. I'm unarmed.

You with the Housing Authority, mister?

Can't say that I am.

Well you ain't no gangster, so..

Put that thing down, son.

Now!

Are you crazy, boy? This is a real gun.

Ain't no bullets in it.

What do you call those?

Where the hell did you get this?

- I ain't telling. - Give it back!

You're lucky to be alive, you know that?

Now get!

Before I really bust a cap in your scrawny asses.

Those boys came this close

to meeting their maker.

This close.

You didn't tell their parents?

No.

Kids ran in the apartment across the hall

and slammed the door.

Slammed it, huh?

[Rush] 'So you just..'

...walked on out of there?

Those kids were lucky I showed up when I did.

Oh, lucky for you, too.

Free gun and all.

Hey, I saved their lives.

And made 89 bucks to boot.

[Kayla on tape] 'They're Guaramis.'

You don't have them yet.

[Darnell] 'I know. Thanks.'

[Kayla] Dad helped me pick them out.

[Mike] 'Are they gonna be alright in this heat?'

For a while, sure.

[Kayla] 'If they're not'

Darnell can fix 'em.

He's gonna be a fish doctor.

[indistinct chatter]

There was something going down.

Now we gotta enhance this.

Huh. The Philly PD way.

You know, any other city

they'd have one of them zoomer sticks.

Ah, quit griping. Your eyes are better than mine.

'See the guy in red shorts?'

- Yeah. - Cedric Browning.

I arrested him a couple years ago.

Maybe this hustle heated up

a little bit later that night?

[Rush] "Girls Gone Wild?"

Videotape the, uh, Odoms family made

day of the murder.

- It was the brother's birthday. - You get anything?

[Vera] 'Well, there's some kind of scuffle going on here.'

[Jeffries] 'Yeah, well, check it out.'

Might be connected to the shooting.

Oh, boss hit a snafu with the gun.

What's that?

Well, the serial number showed it was manufactured

at Barkin Industries. They have a record of it

leaving the factory in August '87.

Bound for where?

The Second Amendment.

The gun shop in West Philly.

So what do their records say?

That's just it. Second Amendment says they never received

the crate of guns that included our Mac 10.

So that baby was born, left the hospital

'and never made it home.'

Well, maybe it was delivered to the wrong store?

Or maybe someone kidnapped it.

The owner of Barkin Industries says

you can sift through his records.

- No warrant necessary. - What a guy.

Now we got to find out where that gun went, Nick.

If it was delivered to the wrong store.

Or if it was stolen before it got to one.

[Valens] Sounds like fun. Wish we can help, but..

- We're on the street, boss. - Delaware Downs?

Uncle Sam said these kids

with the MAC ran back into an apartment

catty-corner to his dad's.

Well, hopefully, the buck stops there.

Well, one gun can pass through a lot of hands in 18 years.

All we need to know is who was holding it in '87.

Hey.

So, Christina didn't come on to you?

Nah.

Not how I saw it.

[Valens] 'Well, you left, man.'

You didn't see anything.

- You got to call it off. - Don't worry about it.

Serious. It's what you call ill-advised.

Hey, I'm on it, okay?

Yes?

Philly Homicide, ma'am.

We're tracking a murder weapon.

It was last seen in this apartment in '99.

'99, you say?

I was here in '99.

Hell, I was here '89.

Feel like I been here since '09.

Man saw two boys

out in the stairwell

playing with a gun.

'MAC-10.'

Then they ran into your place.

- Well, that figures. - Ma'am?

Those boys are my grandsons.

Where'd they get the gun?

Where I kept it... under a floorboard.

Thinking they'd never find it.

So, that gun was yours?

Not exactly.

I stole it.

Mind telling us from who?

I gonna catch trouble?

Nah.

From the family I was working for.

This was, what, back in '93?

[vacuum running]

[young guy] 'Truly..'

...could I have a word, please?

[turns off vacuum]

[heavy metal music playing]

Would you shut the door, please?

Is there something you'd like to tell me?

I don't think so, Eric.

I think there is.

I think you found something under my mattress.

No.

- You're lying. - I got vacuuming to do.

You're the only one who comes in here.

I know you took it.

- Now, give it back. - Or what?

Give it back to me, Truly, or I swear to God..

I seen those pictures you draw.

List of all those people with skulls by their name.

Ever hear of of the word privacy?

I ain't gonna let you shoot up yourself

this house, or anyone else, for that matter.

Then I'll just get another gun and hunt you down with it.

You can try, Eric.

Just remember, you ain't the only one gonna be armed.

I took that kid's gun for his own good.

Then my grandkids nearly got killed with it.

Any idea where Eric got hold of that MAC-10?

Nope. Never had a chance to find out, neither.

Got fired the next day.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Sounds like you might've saved some lives there, Truly.

Maybe, maybe not. Who's to say?

Just finished retooling.

On account of the assault weapons ban being lifted.

About time they stopped meddling with the second amendment.

You sell many MACs back in '87?

MACs were the weapon of choice

among certain... populations back then.

You got the invoices?

Which stores the guns were shipped to?

All our records post-'92 are computerized.

Pre-'92, however, is, uh, is a different story.

That's unfortunate.

If a case of my MACs was delivered

to the wrong store by accident, I'm not liable, right?

We're just looking for the shooter, Mr. Barkin.

Yeah, unless you pulled a drive-by in '87

you got nothing to worry about.

[chuckling] Good, good.

I just make them.

Can't control who buys them.

Take all the time you need.

Nice guy.

Eric Morrison?

Yeah, I'm Eric. Did I do something?

You remember a woman used to work for your family?

- Truly Sinclair? - Yeah, sure. Why?

Well, she says she took a gun from you in 1993.

- Yeah. - MAC-10?

Yeah.

How long did you own it?

Six, seven months.

Why? Is Truly in trouble?

'Cause she kind of saved my life.

Yeah, how?

I told my parents Truly stole money from me

but she told them the truth about the gun.

- But they believed you. - No.

They believed her.

Came down on me like a ton of bricks.

But Truly said she was fired the next day.

Yeah, she was. For stealing.

My parents were jerks.

So, you're 16 years old.

How do you get your hands on a MAC-10?

Hmm, that's kind of a funny story.

Well, maybe not that funny.

See, we lived near this... this riding club

where I used to draw pictures of Satan and stuff.

Freak out the riders.

[heavy metal music playing]

[boys snickering]

This is gonna be so cool!

[boy] It's judgment day, Chipster.

Hasta la vista,baby.

[gunfire]

[squawking]

[laughing] Sweet!

Okay, let me try.

Wait, I want to see what I hit.

[laughing]

'Whoo!'

Dude, check this out!

Terminated!

[loud wheezing]

What is that?

Holy crap.

'Damn it, Pate! You shot a horse!'

Gross! Its guts are spilling out!

I didn't mean to shoot that!

Let's get the hell out of here.

We can't just leave him like this.

What are we supposed to do, call a vet?

You got to put it out of its misery.

- You shoot it. - I'm not shooting a horse!

Let's just get out of here.

- They just left it there? - He didn't suffer long.

'Cause you found the gun in those bushes?

And I did what Chip 'n' Dale couldn't.

You ever get your hands on another gun?

My parents started watching me like a hawk.

Then I graduated high school, got away from guys like Pate.

Anger kind of just dissipated.

So, how'd Pate come into that MAC-10?

Main Line Yacht Club.

Bought it from some guy named Witherspoon.

Least that's what I heard them bragging about.

Okay, Eric.

Hey, i-if you see Truly again

will you apologize to her for me?

You know, for being such a demented kid.

Why don't you tell her yourself?

Ain't like she lives in Antarctica.

[Jeffries] 'Our Mac 10 was not delivered'

to any gun store in the greater Philadelphia area.

And I got the paper cuts to prove it.

So, it was stolen.

'Got us thinking about who was'

delivering those guns for Barkin.

So, we checked the employment rolls...Philly-Haul, '87.

That's the company transported the guns?

Interesting name on their list of drivers.

Rodney Johnson.

The 911 caller.

And maybe a target of the drive-by

since he was out on the court that night.

- Oh, that's some coincidence. - Or not.

This guy transported the gun that almost killed him?

Clincher is, the guy fighting with Cedric Browning

on that videotape?

Rodney again?

One and the same.

A lot of roads all leading in one direction..

...right to Rodney Johnson.

[Vera] 'Talked to your old boss at Philly-Haul, Rodney.'

[Jeffries] 'Said you were fired because your cargo had a habit'

of coming in late and light.

Those accusations were unsubstantial.

Well, one of the MAC-10s you were hauling

turned out to be a murder weapon.

Killed a six-year-old... Kayla Odoms.

[Vera] 'You remember Kayla.'

- You called in the 911. - Yeah, I remember.

So, who do you figure the shooter was that night?

How do I know?

Because you sold them the gun.

- Me? - 'You.'

"Statue" of limitations on "theftery" is up, right?

Then I admit... I moved a lot of guns.

So, who'd you sell one to that might want to see you dead?

Look here, my AKA back then was Big Mac

on account of how many guns I flipped.

- How many? - Hundreds.

And I made it a point

of not getting to know my clientele.

Let's talk about Cedric Browning, Rodney.

What was your fight with him about?

Excuse?

At the park, night of the murder

you were hassling each other.

[quiet laugh]

That was a personal dispute.

He was in my face 'cause his woman

was casting them "pherachromes" my way.

And you weren't waving them off.

- Maybe it was him. - Cedric wasn't the shooter.

He was selling peanuts at the Phillies game that night.

You get in a lot of domestic disputes, Rodney?

With boyfriends, husbands maybe?

I tried not to...mess with the married ladies.

- Tried? - I failed on occasion.

One in particular.

Guess it don't make no difference now.

Who?

Dead girl's mom? Jessie.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Mr. Witherspoon?

[male #??] 'I'm Witherspoon.'

Who wants to know?

Philly PD.

Philly PD, huh?

Whatever it is, I didn't do it.

Hear you sold a weapon to a kid named Pate.

Back in '93.

'93, uh..

Possible.

I had a small problem with the grain industry back then.

How's that?

I needed whatever...cash I could muster.

So you sold a MAC-10 to a teenager?

My judgment was impaired.

So where'd you get the Mac?

You ever heard of Chicken Little?

'Cause that night, I was Chicken Little.

What night would that be?

The night my better half kicked me

out of the house.

I slept by the river.

[bottle clanks]

[tires squealing]

[tires squeal]

[instrumental music]

Bitch!

[music continues]

I was sure it was my wife

sending me a not-so-subtle message

to blow my brains out.

- When was this? - August, '87.

I remember because

I swore off the hard stuff right then and there.

The hard stuff, mind you.

Not the entire family of alcoholic beverages.

That look at the car you got.

You sure you were seein' it straight?

[Witherspoon] 'Yeah.'

It was a Plymouth. Volare.

Like, like the song.

♪ Volare oh oh ♪

Before your time.

Can you remember anything about the driver?

- Anything at all. - No.

Just the car. And that it wasn't my wife's.

''Cause she was on a one-way train to Augusta that night.'

Last time I ever saw her.

[dramatic music]

Rodney Johnson?

Worst mistake of my life.

Who knew?

- No one. - You sure?

If you're thinking about my husband, don't.

'Cause he didn't know.

How can you be so sure?

Because I've been with him for the last 18 years.

Don't you think he would have mentioned it by now?

Unless he had a reason not to.

He didn't know. And you can't tell him. Promise me.

Sorry, Jessie, I can't do that.

Why? Why should he suffer now

because I was a fool 18 years ago?

'Cause I was lonely and selfish.

Did you know Rodney had other women?

[sighs]

I was stupid. Not blind.

You saw him with someone else.

That day.

At Darnell's birthday party.

You think Mr. and Mrs. Kissy-face

will have babies, Darnell?

No, gouramis don't mate in captivity.

- Oh. - It's a good cake, baby.

Yeah. Thanks, Mom.

Ah, no problem.

You like the mitt more than the fish?

No, I like 'em both the same.

- You all right? - Yeah. Sure, I'm good.

Well, I got a double shift tonight.

You got to go?

12 years old.

You the man now.

[Mike] 'Happy birthday, son.'

[Kayla] 'My birthday's coming up, too.'

[laughs] Yeah, we know.

Mom.

'Dad's leaving.'

'Don't you want to say goodbye?'

I was such a fool.

Thought my heart was actually breakin'.

Crazy, right?

Considering what God was about to teach me

about real heartbreak.

It wasn't chance, was it?

You going back to that park that night?

Now you know why Kayla's dying is my fault.

Did you go to confront Rodney?

More like to kick his worthless ass.

But by the time I got there, he was already playin' ball.

So you waited.

Took Kayla to the swings.

Any justice in the world, that bullet would have hit me.

not her.

[rock music]

Scotty.

Come in. It's freezing.

Uh, nah.

Can't.

Why not?

Chris, uh..

...that night.

It was a mistake.

It was?

Because..

- You know. - No, I don't know.

Your sister.

It's..

It's ill-advised.

[laugh]

Scotty, I know what this is.

You're thinking about Elisa.

I can't be anything to anyone right now.

- I'm sorry. - Well..

For the record..

- I'm not. - Look.

I don't plan on telling Lil.

Me neither.

It's better that way.

If you change your mind..

I'm right here.

Yeah.

Okay.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Uh, we sure Mike Odoms didn't know

about his wife's affair with Rodney Johnson?

Jessie says no.

'Cause Lil just got a DMV report from '87.

And the car that was seen dumping our MAC-10

off the bridge was a Plymouth Volare.

And guess who owned a Volare back then?

Please don't say Mike Odoms.

Maybe he didn't confront Rodney face-to-face.

Maybe it was at a distance.

So we're saying if Mike found out about Rodney..

Maybe he set out to get rid of the man

coming between him and his wife.

[Rush] 'And trying to kill Rodney'

he shot his own daughter.

My wife is a good woman.

Don't try and tell me otherwise.

We're not saying that, Mike.

But we are saying Jessie had an affair

with Rodney Johnson in '87.

And Rodney Johnson was the target of that drive-by.

So what?

You think I tried to kill him?

My wife stepped out on me with a lowlife like Rodney..

Think about what you're saying to me, detectives.

We're saying you had a motive to shoot Rodney Johnson.

The oldest reason in the book.

- Revenge. - No.

You're sayin' I killed my own daughter.

I'm not gonna sit here

and take that kind of disrespect.

All right, Mike.

How do you explain that your car was ID'd as the shooter's?

I can't.

I was workin'. It don't make no sense.

Could someone have borrowed your car?

I know I didn't let no one use it.

And Jessie would have said if she did.

So, who else could have taken it?

There wasn't nobody else home to take it.

Except Darnell.

[laughs]

Darnell was 12 years old!

I knew how to drive when I was 12.

Well, Darnell didn't.

Now I know that for a fact.

'An absolute fact.'

My boy did not know how to drive.

You don't recognize him?

Looks awful young for one of my customers.

[Vera] 'Come off it, Rodney.'

You'd sell to a toddler if they had the cash.

Look again.

Yeah, it's possible I did business

with a boy looked like this.

- Possible? - Now keep in mind.

I wasn't selling out of K-Mart with them fluorescent lights.

Semi or full?

The Big Mac don't inventory semis.

Bad boys I sell are allconverted.

We'll take six.

[hip hop music]

- You're the man, Big Mac. - Hey.

Hey. Been a pleasure mercantiling with you.

- All right. - Right.

[music continues]

I wanna buy a gun.

That's good.

'Cause I'm fresh out of milk and cookies, young blood.

Have you ever seen Miami Vice?

Crocket and Tubbs? Them's my boys.

'Cause the guns they use, that's the kind I want.

Choice of professional gangsters everywhere.

Converted MAC-10.

Fully automatic assault weapon.

30 rounds per second.

How much?

For a beginner banger like yourself out to make his bones?

A Benjamin.

Is that including the bullets?

One clip.

You need more, you come back and see me.

[laughing]

This your lunch money or what?

Can I have my gun?

[music continues]

[ wry laugh]

You bad now, boy.

So, who is this boy?

Jessie's son. Darnell.

Damn.

I ain't know Jessie had a son.

Why would you?

Considering your interest in the woman?

You know, Kayla would be alive today if it weren't for you.

How you figure?

You provided the motive andthe weapon.

And there ain't no statueof limitations

on aiding and abetting.

Now, come on, now!

Maybe the DA can bump it up

to conspiracy to commit murder.

Conspiracy?

I didn't pull no triggers.

Don't need to.

Just got to give the assist.

[dramatic music]

Mr. and Mrs. Odoms.

[sighs]

Figured you'd be comin'.

And we knew why, so we got something to say.

You don't need to say anything.

I fired that gun. killed Kayla.

Mr. Odoms.

It's too late for that.

I went home in my cab..

...got in my car and drove by the park.

Shot it up.

It's true.

'I saw him.'

I ??don't want to say anything 'cause...I love the man.

That true, Darnell?

You don't got to confess for me, Dad.

- They know. - They don't know nothin'.

- 'Do you?' - I wish I didn't.

I really do.

We've already lost one child.

You can't take away the only one we got left.

[crying] Oh, please..

- I'm sorry. - He was 12.

Courts will take that into consideration.

Why'd you do it, Darnell?

To keep 'em together.

So how'd you know it was Rodney coming between 'em?

[Darnell] 'Heard my mom on the phone.'

And then at the birthday party

I saw the way she was lookin' at him.

And I just knew.

Then I thought about my dad in his cab..

...working his ass off.

And when my mom told me she was going...to take Kayla

out for a walk that night..

You knew you could take the car

and no one would know.

If only I would've known you were going to that park!

'I would've never pulled that trigger.'

But I didn't know.

I didn't see you..

Or Kayla..

...till it was too late.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chattering]
