APB (2017) s01e04 Episode Script

1
ANNOUNCER: A maverick billionaire
GIDEON: My name is Gideon Reeves.
I built an empire making
rockets, computers, robots
Made over $100 billion.
Know how I did it?
I'm an engineer.
ANNOUNCER: touched by tragedy
- The money!
- No!
GIDEON: My friend has been shot.
Where the hell are you people?!
ANNOUNCER: takes on the
biggest engineering challenge
of his career
I want justice for Elliot James Sully.
Give me the 13th district to run.
A civilian can't take
over a police district.
They can, with a special
appointment from this committee.
ANNOUNCER: to revolutionize
a police force
Technology doesn't solve cases, cops do.
You haven't met my technology.
♪
- (CRIES OUT)
- Wow
ANNOUNCER: and save a city.
You guys are my partners.
We're gonna change the world.
BRANDT: You sure nobody
followed you here?
TICO: No, man. We're all good.
BRANDT: All right,
show me, don't tell me.
Target ready?
TICO: Ready as she's gonna be.
(SIGHS)
We had to use female mannequins?
This is an old dress factory.
There were no, like, dude-equins.
(LAUGHS)
Nice shot, Murph.
Impressive.
Maybe too impressive.
TICO: See?
Armor-piercing bullets,
just like I said.
Not even our new vests can stop 'em.
Tico, you got these bullets from Hunter?
Yep, badass assault rifle, too.
Illegal in all 50 states.
And that ain't even the half of it.
You can get anything from Hunter.
You can buy guns and ammo to
bring down a freaking tank.
No joke, guys. A tank.
(LAUGHS)
Think about that.
Local gangbangers get
that kind of firepower?
No.
We got to put Hunter
out of business ASAP.
Yeah
his testimony is not gonna cut it.
(SIGHS)
If you want Hunter arrested,
you're gonna need more.
You hear that, Tico?
(SCOFFS)
Got to get me a face-to-face, pal.
(LAUGHS)
No, you-you think Hunter's
just gonna sell to anyone?
Well, he sells to you,
doesn't he? Set it up.
Uh, that's not gonna work.
Um, then I guess we're not gonna
help you with your drug charges
after all.
You heard the boss lady.
Guys, come on. Y-Y-You expect me
to walk up to Hunter
with a freakin' cop?
That's a death sentence for me.
Only if he finds out, which he won't.
(SCOFFS)
- Come on.
- O-Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I-I'll see what I can do.
Good.
We should get to the precinct,
run this up the chain.
Tico, you get the ball
rolling with Hunter.
(GUN COCKS)
Till the brass signs off.
Gonna take this bastard down.
Colored and Improved by zer0
Yes, Murphy, there is a
Santa Claus, and it's me.
I am the St. Nick of law enforcement.
Do you have any idea
how much stuff my elves have
brought into the department
this week alone?
We boosted the horsepower in the Caddys,
we improved the flashbang grenades.
Hell, even the coffee is better.
I don't understand why
there's this vendetta against
me and everything that I'm doing.
Gideon, the coffee's great, but
don't expect milk and cookies
from the mayor. You pissed him off.
So what, now he he sends
the state attorney's office
- to investigate me?
- Oh, no.
Not just any ASA. My ex-husband.
Scott's gonna continue
talking to our cops
until he finds one that tells him
exactly what he wants to hear.
What time is this witch
hunt supposed to start?
Scott's not here yet,
but he did send a list of
people he wants to talk to,
starting with Officer Reyes.
(CHUCKLES) The officer who
took a bullet on my watch.
Yes, I imagine his review of my tenure
will be less than glowing.
Conrad's gonna talk to Reyes
once he's done screaming at Brandt.
CONRAD: This guy sweeps
everyone for bugs.
It's just too dangerous.
It doesn't make sense, Captain.
What's going on in there?
BRANDT: Soldier?
Bit of a situation.
We've been building a case
on a big-time weapon dealer.
Brandt had a connection,
so we had him doing
some undercover work.
Getting the sense there may be an issue.
Oh, yeah.
Brandt's supposed to make his first buy,
but Conrad won't sign off.
They've been going at
it like this all morning.
Well, I came here to fix problems.
You're making a bad call.
No, I'm making a safe call.
GIDEON: What seems to be the problem?
Remember me?
Dashing billionaire genius
who bought the place?
I spent the last six
months working this C.I.
Now the captain says I got to step away.
He's a trained soldier.
It's just a friggin' buy-walk.
This guy sweeps everyone for bugs.
If you wear a wire, he's gonna find it
and I'm not sending you
in there without a wire.
End of discussion.
GIDEON: Hang on. Hypothetically,
what if we had surveillance equipment
that he couldn't detect?
I know this kind of thing is
like engineering catnip to you,
but before you start
scratching the sofa,
this is an officer's
life we're talking about.
As long as this son of
a bitch is out there,
selling armor-piercing bullets,
every damn cop in the city is a target.
If you can build something, Gideon,
then build it.
Do you really think this
is something you can do?
Come with me.
So what are we dealing with, here?
How exactly do these searches go
in an undercover situation?
Well, Hunter usually
has one of those guns
that look for radio waves.
An RF scanner. All right,
all right, all right,
so, uh, what I'm thinking is:
if we transmit in bursts,
say every seven minutes,
they're gonna have a
hard time picking it up.
Wait, so are you saying
that we're only gonna be
in contact with Brandt
every seven minutes?
It's based on a system I developed
for our spy satellites. Basically,
the less something transmits,
the harder it is to find.
Too risky.
Yeah, well, the best moves usually are.
So, this is what I'm thinking.
(DRAWER OPENS)
Hook up a camera like this
to a microscopic transmitter.
That's a camera?
It's from Reeves Medical.
It's used for surgery.
And then we hide it
with a small microphone
in a piece of clothing.
Like maybe a button, right?
- Would that work?
- Sounds all right.
Cool, and then we just
have to get the video
and the audio to the transmitter.
Pete, what's the smallest wire
that could handle that much data?
(GRUNTING)
Uh, probably
something like this.
Mm, that's too big.
- I mean, they'll find that.
- We're talking
seven minutes of video in
a three-second transfer.
It's like running the Chicago
River through a garden hose.
Pete, when a woman
tells you size matters,
it's best to stop arguing.
(CHUCKLES)
Hold on a second.
(CABINET OPENS)
What if the wire is the clothes?
This is made
of Reeves Industries smart fabric.
Each thread is actually a tiny wire.
What if we make this into a jacket?
- A jacket?
- Pete,
you used to sew your own
wrestling costumes, right?
Gideon, you're talking
about a $2 million jacket.
All right, so
put some sequins on
it, make it look nice.
Let's do this.
Hey.
I'm not on the board, what's going on?
ASA Murphy wants to talk to you.
About what?
You'll have to ask him.
Reyes,
hold up.
A little advice from
someone who's been there:
when you're talking to
lawyers from the city,
keep your eyes open and stay sharp.
You're the one who swore
to protect and serve.
Folks outside the department,
they have another agenda.
As long as you remember
whose side you're on,
you'll be fine.
Got it?
Yeah.

I don't get it. What
the hell is this thing?
The world's first bespoke
surveillance jacket.
Inside that snap,
that's your camera.
What it sees, we see.
Okay, that's not my best
angle, but you get the idea.
I added all these flaps to the pockets,
so they don't gape.
Yeah, it's pretty sweet.
Can I keep it?
Uh, no.
That jacket is worth
more than this building.
GIDEON: Okay,
everybody, it is officially showtime.
MURPHY: Squad 1309,
we're preparing to enter.
Christmas morning, finally here.
What, are you just jealous
'cause I'm about to
make a Class X felony
while you got to wait in the car?
Cobb, are you in place?
Yeah, south entrance is covered.
Ready on our end.
Okay, listen to me.
Make this buy and get out.
If anything doesn't sit
well with you in there
Anything at all Get out sooner.
I will.
(CHUCKLES)
Brandt, just one more thing.
What's up?
You religious at all?
Only when the Cubs are playing.
My mother bought me this
when I graduated the academy.
It's St. Michael,
the patron saint of cops.
So far, it's kept me safe on the job.
Thanks.
(CAR DOOR OPENS)
All right, it's time to roll.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Here he is. Like I said.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
I heard good things.
I'm Nick.
Yo, Nick is dope as hell, man.
He gets deals done.
This is going to be great, guys.
Let's hope so.
Check them both.
Turn around.
(SCANNER WHINING)
Turn around.
(SCANNER WHINING)
That's a nice damn jacket, bro.
They're clean.
See, no problems.
We'll see about that.
CONRAD: Gideon.
Look, I know I signed off,
but this is making me nervous.
(CHUCKLES) I got that sense, yes.
- Trust me, the jacket works.
- Yeah, well,
you know, I remember when the
CPD introduced computers here
with all kinds of talk
about making our jobs easier,
increasing efficiency, all of that.
Well, the data bears that out.
The computers were great, too,
until they weren't.
About a month after we switched over,
the entire system went down.
We damn near let a murderer walk.
Had to use every available officer
to, uh, rebuild a month-long
case in a day, by hand.
Well, I can assure you
technology has come a long way
since the Commodore 64.
Yeah, and I'm gonna trust you on that.
But in this business, you
learn to hope for the best
and prepare for the worst.
So I need to know you're prepared.
Don't worry, Captain, I got this.
Here's your money. Ten
grand, cash, small bills.
If you want to count count.
HUNTER: I'm sure it's good.
How long have you been working
with my friend Tico here?
Oh, met in the service, '04.
Reconnected, what? It's
got to be six months now.
Six months. Six months.
Hunter was overseas, too, man. Iraq.
Yeah, I heard that.
You two do a lot of business together?
Well, it's been a little slow lately,
but, like, we're pretty
much partners
- which I think that
- Tico.
I'm talking to him.
- Is there a problem?
- There's no problem.
I just like to know
who I'm working with.
It's like Tico said, we're tight.
Partners.
Partners? Huh.
Well, that's
that's good to know.
I thought we weren't
sending him in there blind.
Another 30 seconds, the
first burst will come in,
and then it's every
seven minutes after that.
But in between each transmission
We're looking at it.
ADA: Okay
five seconds out.
Here's the first video file.
Just like I said, heard good things.
There he is.
Still standing.
At least he was seven minutes ago.
TICO: He gets deals done.
Murphy, we see him.
We're scanning through the
rest of the seven minutes
to make sure he's okay.
Everything going okay?
That's a nice damn jacket, bro.
Jacket passed.
So far so good.
You ask me, a seven-minute delay
is seven minutes too long.
Look, I don't love it either,
but Brandt wanted to go in.
Let's be real here, he's
an adrenaline junkie.
This dude'll chase a shiny nickel
off the Hancock building
just to get some action.
I know you're worried,
Goss. I'm worried, too.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Captain said you wanted to see me?
Officer Reyes, come
in, please. Have a seat.
How you feeling?
Well, I'll be better once
I'm back on full duty.
Of course.
Now, listen, you've probably
heard that I'm evaluating
the recent changes here at the 13th.
You mean Gideon?
Well, the legality of
his innovations, yes.
And how they impact officers' safety,
more importantly.
Look we just want to make sure
that his toys aren't
putting cops at risk.
And I think that you, more than anyone,
more than anyone else
here, you can speak to that.
I did notice that you mentioned
that both the new Taser
firearm and the drone
were problematic in operation.
I wrote a report.
Well, I'd like to know a
little bit more about that.
And I was hoping that
you'd take me through
the details of your shooting.
Actually, I was thinking
you could take me back to the scene.
That way you can walk me through
exactly what happened and where.
How about that?
Officer Reyes?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
COBB: I still got eyes
on the south entrance,
but there's more traffic
coming in and out of here
than the Kennedy.
How long does it take
to buy some bullets?
It shouldn't be longer than 15 minutes.
Ah, Brandt's probably just showing off,
trying to make it last.
Guy's been jonesing for this for weeks.
MURPHY: Gideon, how's that transmission?
Next transmission is three minutes out.
You got the ammo, or we're
not gonna do this thing?
- 'Cause I'll just leave.
- Hey, but, I mean,
we're not gonna cancel, right?
'Cause he's definitely got it on him.
So what's the holdup?
I'm actually glad that you asked.
Now, you see, a couple of days ago,
somebody broke into my warehouse,
and they stole half a dozen
of my best 50 cals.
(LAUGHS) Yo, that's crazy, man.
- That got nothing to do
- Shh, shh! Tico, Tico
- Let me finish.
- Uh, yeah.
So what I did is I asked around.
I said, "Anybody know anything?
Anybody hear anything?"
And you know what? Somebody did.
And you know what they heard?
They heard that your boy Tico here
was going around shooting his mouth off
about this big score
that he had just made.
Right? On the same day,
the same day that I got ripped off.
Then I I started thinking,
maybe Tico's big score
and my missing guns
were the same thing.
How bad is business, Tico?
Huh?
Was it so tough
that you would do something so stupid
as to try to make a buck
by stealing from me?
TICO: Hunter, listen, man, I
Calm yourself, pretty boy.
GIDEON: All right, all right,
here comes the next burst.
Ada, play speed times four.
GIDEON: Murphy, we're reviewing it now.
All good so far.
(AUDIO FAST-FORWARDING, INDISTINCT)
Guys, we might have a problem here.
Play speed normal.
by stealing from me?
(GRUNTING)
GIDEON: This thing's going
sideways, Brandt's in trouble.
Get in there. Go, now!
We're on our way.
- Nothing in here.
- Yeah, I'm empty, too.
GOSS: We never saw Hunter leave, so
we need to shut off the exits,
get all units out here
to search out the garage.
MURPHY: No, Brandt's not
in the garage anymore.
He had this in his pocket.
He must have left it here for a reason.
Look, tire marks.
Hunter already switched the cars.
They took him, Gideon. He's gone.
GIDEON: Okay, everyone,
we have an officer missing
and our job is to do everything
we can to get him back.
Ada, you ready for the
next contact with Brandt?
20 seconds out from a transmission.
A total of 32 cars
have exited the garage
since Brandt went in.
I could send an "all-call,"
- but they can't handle that many cars.
- Ten.
CONRAD: You don't
have a GPS on That thing?
He was going to one parking
garage, we didn't need it.
When the next burst comes in,
we can triangulate Brandt's signal.
Waiting for the "I told you so."
That's not how I roll, Mr. Reeves.
When something goes wrong,
we're all in it together.
- Five seconds.
- Okay.
All right, get ready to triangulate.
We need his location. ADA: Okay.
(SNAPS FINGERS)
No, no, no, no, no.
- GIDEON: Damn it, Ada!
- The transfer was too short.
I can't get a read on him.
They're three-second transmissions.
I can barely get anything.
I can try again in seven minutes.
Shh, shh. Oh, the camera's blocked!
- I can't see a damn
- CONRAD: Listen!
(BACKGROUND RUMBLING)
BRANDT: You're making a mistake, man.
HUNTER: We'll talk later.
For now, keep your mouth shut.
Take it back.
That last part.
Hear that rumble?
That's the El.
There can't be that many
tracks in that neighborhood.
Okay, I'm enlarging the map.
Murphy, he's-he's near the El.
They've got Brandt in a car,
the camera's totally blocked
so we can't see anything.
But we can hear.
How long ago did they pass it?
ADA: About three minutes.
- Okay, there's an El that crosses at
- Arden.
GIDEON: Just hang on,
Brandt. We are coming.
REYES: Officers Murphy, Cobb, and
I were pursuing the suspect
north on Hobsen when we
lost him down an alley.
Gideon's, you know, drone
thing picked up his trail.
Led us here.
Was it any more difficult to work
in the presence of a drone?
Well, it surprised the hell
out of us, that's for sure.
Yeah, I bet.
Did the drone also lead you up
the stairs where you were shot,
or was that your decision?
He's headed upstairs.
And where exactly was the suspect
when you were shot?
The next floor.
The weapon Mr. Reeves
had issued the department,
it's got two modes, right?
It's got lethal and non-lethal.
Yeah, that's correct.
Did that gun feel comfortable to you
when you fired the shot?
(YELLING INDISTINCTLY)
(GRUNTS)
Officer Reyes?
Officer Reyes, are you okay to continue?
I'm sorry, I
I got to get some air.
Everything okay out here?
Yeah.
I just
The memories came back
stronger than I thought.
(PANTING)
Is there anything I can do to help?
No.
No, I just
I needed to catch my breath.
You been experiencing
a lot of this anxiety
since the incident?
Not before you brought me back here.
Well, you know, if you'd
like to file a grievance,
I'd be happy to help.
I don't need any help.
You're the one who wanted to
take a walk down memory lane.
♪
GIDEON: So if Hunter
stayed straight there
He wouldn't, there's sewer repairs.
That whole block is a cluster.
Yeah, a guy like Hunter would know that.
Well, where would a right turn take him?
Past the 16th District,
which he would also
avoid like the plague.
MURPHY: So left would be his best bet.
Okay, guys, if we take the time we heard
Hunter start his engine,
and then we estimate
how long it would take
for his car to reach the exit,
then this is what you get.
That's got to be Hunter's vehicle.
He's headed north on Sixth.
That's in line with the El.
Murphy, got the car.
Can you do anything about traffic?
I mean, yeah, I guess I could
try to trigger red lights from here.
(BEEPS)
All right.
We stopped traffic
northbound on Sixth.
Looking for
that.
GOSS: Got it.
We'll set up at the end of Eighth
and we'll work down. Cobb?
Yeah.
1312 in pursuit.
What about Brandt? Any update?
ADA: Okay, we're receiving
a transmission now.
Oh, my God.
What's going on?
What is it?
We're too late.
They aren't on the road anymore.
Where's Brandt?
BRANDT: No, no. (GRUNTS)
MURPHY: Gideon, I need a location.
Where is Brandt?
CONRAD: All right, everyone
in the station listen up.
We got a serious situation.
Our undercover operation went bad.
Officer Brandt is now missing.
Be prepared to jump in as needed.
This case is your case now, too.
Gideon?
We're trying to track
down Officer Brandt.
Unfortunately, the same thing that
made his surveillance equipment
hard for the bad guys to find
is making it hard for us to find him.
We are working the problem
and I promise you we won't
stop until Brandt is safe.
If you're the praying kind,
now's the time to put in a good
word for your fellow officer.
While you're at it,
pray for a better G.S.M.
localization protocol.
Gideon.
Hmm? Yeah, I know.
Do you?
What? Yeah.
Yes, Murphy, I understand.
If, uh
if we don't find Brandt, then, um
whatever happens is on me.
No.
See, that's not how this works.
I'm the lead on this,
so just listen to me.
Do you remember how you felt
when your friend Sully died
in that liquor store?
Right before you came to us?
Every cop in the 13th
District is a Sully to me.
Even the ones I don't even like.
You're here,
you bleed blue.
Period.
So this isn't just on you.
It's on us.
We'll find him together.
Okay?
- HUNTER: Now, gentlemen
- (COUGHING)
we are gonna have a real
talk about my missing guns.
Okay?
Hunter, come on, man.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
You I you got to believe me. When
You got to believe me.
That's the thing, Tico,
I don't believe you.
So what was that story
that you were going around town,
talking about the big score?
I-I was just building up the business.
I it was just talk, you
know, people want a winner.
Yeah. I was, I was exuding winner.
You fake it till you make it, right?
Who hasn't faked it?
Tico's marketing skills could
use some help, you know.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Just cool off.
You know, we could figure this out.
Really? How so?
I'll help you find out what happened.
Well, actually, you already did.
(TICO YELLS IN PAIN)
HUNTER: Tico, listen to me.
I'm gonna ask you more time.
And I want you to answer me honestly.
You're gonna tell me where my guns are.
He doesn't know anything!
How you like your fingers, Tico?
You think you need all of them? Okay.
(YELLING)
- Okay, okay.
- That's one, that's one.
TICO: Please stop. Please stop.
No, you didn't, Tico.
Tell him you didn't do it.
They're at my place, man.
- They're at your place?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Now, Tico,
I just have one more question for you.
How'd you know where I had 'em?
Come on. Come on!
With Brandt stationary,
it should be easier to
triangulate his position.
Yeah, in theory, maybe, but
I don't control the location
of the cell phone towers.
In order to get a good
lock on him, we need three.
We have two.
Location-wise, that
leaves us with this.
Well, that's not too far from here.
Yeah, the area's too big.
There's no way we can
knock on all those doors.
Well, then, we have to
be able to narrow it down.
ADA: No, not without more data.
- Gideon, I'm sorry, but I just don't
- Do not finish that sentence!
We'll find a way.
I just I j-just
I got to think a minute.
(GIDEON SIGHS LOUDLY)
(GIDEON MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY)
We need another cell phone tower.
Well, we need we need
another cell phone tower.
We need a
We need another cell phone tower.
(DRILL WHIRRING)
MURPHY: What are you doing?
We've got to find Brandt.
GIDEON: To do that, I need this radio.
Ready? Let's do it!
All right.
Where you keep the pi boards?
Uh, uh, in the orange case.
What are you building?
It's like a StingRay.
Mimics a cell tower.
I know what a StingRay is.
Well, then stop asking
questions and watch the road.
Well, you're gonna need
a bigger power supply,
that's what I'm saying.
It's on the bottom shelf.
- Ah, jeez. Pete!
- What?
You need serious help with
your organizational skills.
How close are we to being within
range of Brandt's transmitter?
Not close enough.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(CAR HORN HONKS)
(TICO GROANING)
Okay, okay, just stop, please, please.
HUNTER: Now, Tico,
I'm getting real tired of this.
It was him.
He told me.
BRANDT: He's lying.
- What did he tell you?
- He's lying.
Shut up.
Tico, what did he tell you?
Places.
Places. What-What places?
Places, uh, where-where you see
Tico
Hey, I said keep your mouth shut.
Tico?
How does this son of a
bitch know anything about me?
They got surveillance, man.
He's a
He's a what?
He's a cop, man!
He's a cop.
A cop?
BRANDT: He's scared.
What do you think he's gonna say?
Think about it.
It's the truth, man.
I-I don't want to lie anymore.
They booked me.
He said that if I cooperated,
then they would drop charges.
Tico, it's okay.
Now I just got one
more question for you.
You have my guns, right?
They're at your place?
- Yeah.
- Okay. All of them?
- Every single one, every single one.
- Good. That's good.
(GROANS)
HUNTER: I got to tell
you, man, for a cop
to walk in here without
wearing a wire
Buddy, you are either incredibly brave,
or incredibly stupid.
(WHISPERING) What are
you doing? He's a cop.
We need to get ghost like now.
- I got this.
- BRANDT: He's right.
Don't make this any worse than it is.
You know what we're gonna do?
You're gonna tell me everything
that the cops know about me.
And we're gonna start at the beginning,
and please keep in mind what
happens to people who lie to me.
Okay. You listening?
Yeah.
I found out about you
from my partner, Ryder.
Hank Ryder. You remember that name?
Doesn't ring a bell.
You sure?
Hank Ryder.
That name should mean something to you.
HUNTER: Okay, I've never heard of it,
so here's what we're
gonna do. Give me the bat.
You're gonna start telling me
something that I actually want to hear.
You understand?
Ada, getting this?
Yeah, I see you. You
got 23 seconds to spare.
So, when the data comes in,
we should be able to
pinpoint his location.
I'm on it.
All right. Now, ignore
the steady transmissions.
Just look for the blip.
ADA: Yeah, Gideon, I
know. I've got this.
I got him! I got him. Okay.
Okay, he looks like he's on
the corner of Elwood and Eighth.
It looks like an old warehouse.
All right, everybody, move in. Guns out.
Be careful.
I repeat, be careful.
MURPHY: 1309 en route.
Let's go get our boy.
Come on!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
MURPHY: Conrad, we're at the scene.
What's the situation?
CONRAD: All right, folks,
here's what we know.
Brandt's been made.
He's stalling.
Keeps talking about an old partner.
Hank Ryder.
He can't stall forever.
We got to get in there now.
I think the loading
dock is our best bet.
I'll grab a flashbang,
I'll clear the lot, you take the corner.
- Let's go.
- Wait.
That name, Hank Ryder.
Brandt is not just stalling.
He's talking to us, to me.
When Brandt and I were rookies,
there was a burglary at Ryder Market.
Meth head named Hank holed
up inside with a shotgun.
Shot clear through the
rolling doors out front.
The loading dock, it's
the same kind of door.
Brandt's telling us that
we can't go through it.
We need to find another way.
The guy is being tortured.
We start poking around,
we're gonna get made.
Gideon, we need another entry point.
Way ahead of you. Go!
Don't be stupid.
Just call the 13th District,
and tell them you want to make a deal.
Hell, with all of Gideon Reeves' money,
you could make out like a bandit.
Shut up.
God, I'm so tired of hearing your mouth.
Are you crazy?
We cannot just kill a cop.
Why the hell not?
VIRGIL: Because we don't
want that type of heat.
We already got that kind of heat.
What, do you think they're
gonna give you a pass
after you kidnapped him
and tied him to a chair?
Come on, man, you heard
him. We could make a deal.
There's no deal.
We got a body on the ground.
The cop's got to go.
I got your entry point.
MURPHY: No suspects identified.
Gideon, we could use a little help here.
He's in the next room to
your right, Murphy, hurry.
They're gonna kill him.
Be smart, Hunter. I'm
no use to you dead.
You keep me alive, you got leverage.
I think you watch too many movies.
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS)
Police! Drop your weapon! On the floor!
- GOSS: Drop it.
- (GUNSHOT)
- You all right? You good?
- Yeah.
Find the necklace?
I think you should get one of these.
Nice work.
GIDEON: Morning, everybody.
Uh, before we get our day started,
I would just like to say a few words.
It's no secret that I
run a technology empire.
And because I spend so much of my time
in the company of robots and computers
and nanotech devices,
people sometimes think that I
don't care much about humans.
But here's the thing.
My company started with
manned space flight.
And when you put a rocket into space,
it's not about going as far
or as fast as you can go.
That's not hard.
What's hard is making
sure everybody comes home.
Yesterday was not a
victory for technology.
Was the technology excellent?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
We are literally the only police
department in the entire world
with a $2 million jacket
hanging in our closet.
(OFFICERS CHUCKLE)
Right?
But the real victory
belongs to all of you.
Ada did not let one
kilobyte pass her desk
without a fight.
Conrad, you helped us
cut through the noise,
and listen to what really mattered.
(CHUCKLES) Detective Murphy,
between those transmissions,
when our screen went dark,
you somehow managed to
see what nobody else could.
And Officer Brandt,
a lesser man would have buckled.
And we are glad you're home.
Glad to be home, boss.
Who've we got to save us ♪
When it's gone ♪
Just so you know, you still
cannot keep the jacket.
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, uh, sir?
Yeah?
I read your report.
I need to make some changes.
Changes?
We went through it, you signed off.
Yeah, I know, but, um,
I made some mistakes,
uh, remembered some stuff.
Come with me.
Did someone pressure
you to change your story?
No, no. It's nothing like that.
Look, I know that this
has been very hard for you,
but right now I just need the truth.
Well, the truth is, it
wasn't Gideon's fault
or his technology.
Are you telling me the tech
had nothing to do with you getting hurt?
It was all you?
Yeah. I mean, I'm a rookie.
I'd never been in a
situation like that before,
and I got rattled.
Get this back to me when you're ready.
Scott, what are you really
doing here at the 13th?
My job.
Since when is it the ASA's
job to railroad a rookie
into serving a political agenda?
I'm gonna let that one slide.
Just level with me. Is this about us?
The mayor asked me to come here.
I know.
Okay, but just because
you're doing your job
doesn't mean that you're
doing the right thing.
What's so right about a
smooth-talking rich guy
who's patting himself on the back
for almost getting a cop killed?
It's not like that.
He's helping cops do their jobs.
By breaking every law
they're supposed to enforce?
Right now there are lawsuits being filed
by people who are upset
the drones are infringing
on their privacy,
or that the APB app doesn't
serve everybody equally.
And God knows how many cases
are gonna get thrown out
because he cannot be bothered
to follow the rules like the rest of us.
He expects everybody to
bow down to his greatness.
Well, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna do that.
You do whatever it is you need to do.
But I'm gonna warn you.
Aside from our son and my mother,
there's nothing that I care more
about than the 13th District.
So if you go after Gideon Reeves,
you're going after me, too.
