We're serving a no-knock warrant on a murder suspect this morning.
The weapon the suspect used is still outstanding.
So assume he is heavily armed and dangerous.
Tac will take the lead.
Major Crime will be acting as backup.
I want you guys in type-3 body armor with plates and preferably flaps.
We'll breach with M.

So before we leave, make sure your clips are loaded.
Detective Hanadarko.
Kwame Smith, light-skinned, black male Drives a '7 9 blue Trans Am.
Used it last week in a drive-by to kill a two-year-old boy.
Reliable informant puts him inside and alone.
Okay.
Entry Red and Entry Blue will approach from the three-four corner of the house.
Once there, Red and Blue will move up on the east and west side.
From there, we move to the porch.
Make entry through the front door.
Any questions? All right, let's roll.

[ Monitors Beeping .]
[ Beeping .]
Hey.
- You want a sip? - You're in Acapulco.
I had to stay for work, remember? - What time is it? - [ Ham .]
It's almost midnight.
Oh, shit.
The doctor said you're gonna be sore and you're gonna get a big bruise.
But you're fine.
No internal injuries.
Gonna get to go home tomorrow.
Mom looked into chartering a helicopter to get off the ship.
But they dock tonight.
So they all got flights out in the morning.
Jimmy,Joe, Paige, Leo.
Everybody will be here in the morning.
- Don't cancel the cruise.
- You remember what happened? I got shot.
I mean it.
Last thing I need is Paige coming at me with a bedpan.
You're gonna have to take it easy for a while.
So you get Mom or you get me.
You know I'm a better cook.
You get Mom, you get her meat loaf.
So- You know, thank God you were wearing a vest.
- What about Kane? - He's hanging on if he can make it through the night.
Shit,Johnny.
Did you give me last rites? Goddamn it.
Tommy and Ralph say no one's talking.
Not one person.
Shit, man.
We're the ones doing all the talkin'.
Nine hours with I.
A.
Three hours with the D.
A.
They're more worried about lawsuits than finding the sons of bitches who shot our guys.
- I'd rather be judged by 1 2 than carried by six.
- Anyone see Grace this morning? - I stopped by.
She was asleep.
- She's fighting back to feisty.
I think we should send her flowers.
You know, from all of us.
- What kind? - She likes roses.
She likes daffodils.
Kane didn't make it.
He died about an hour ago.
You've been cleared for duty.
You know the drill.
[ Sighs .]
Shrink or chaplain, your call.
Five visits, first one within 48 hours.
Anyone gone yet? Of course not.
[ Exhales .]
Anyone find Grace's snitch and cut his balls off? Figure of speech.
It wasn't Pup's fault.
Kwame was setting up a crack lab for his boy, Bigtime Reynolds.
There was an underground tunnel from Kwame's house to this backyard.
Extra shooters came in and got out through the tunnel.
How many? [ Butch .]
Found casings from three guns.
Only one was left at the scene.
Blood was found in the tunnel here and here.
Not a lot.
Unfortunately, he didn't bleed out.
Hospitals are keeping an eye open.
What makes you so sure it was Bigtime Reynolds? He's the only one that's got escape tunnels in his crack houses.
Only Bigtime must be invisible 'cause no one's seen him talked to him, has any idea where he is.
- At least we got Kwame Smith.
- Well, hell's got him now.
Yeah.
Well, hell is missing at least one more.
Find Bigtime Reynolds.
[ Alarm Sounds .]
[ Restraint Chains Rattling .]
- Hey, Pops.
- Hey, Benjamin.
- You're in trouble, Son.
- What I do? - You know.
It's gotta stop.
- Yes, sir.
That's right.
She can't help you now.
Hear you been saying things.
Real bad things.
And I'm gonna straighten you out, boy.
Let it be known, once and for all, that throughout the history of this world there was only one great crooner to grace the face of this earth.
And his name was Marvin Gaye.
Ne-Yo, Dad.
He's the best young singer today.
- And I'm crafting my style after him.
- Ne-Yo? More like Ne-Not.
[ Laughs .]
Ah! Yes, thank you! I don't like this getting shot.
So, let's say this is the last time.
Okay? - Oh, shit! - Take it easy.
- It's a bruise.
- A bruise? For God sakes, Grace, you were dead.
Technically anyway.
The force of the bullet was so violent that it caused your heart to stop.
If the paramedics hadn't whacked you with the defibrillator- You're lucky to be alive.
What did you get at the crack house? Uh, one bleeder and lots of prints.
[ Groans .]
I saw a white light right after I got shot.
It was Earl.
He was coming at me all worried.
Do you think that he saved you? I think my vest saved me.
Oh.
Oh, what are you doing? Doctor said I could go to work.
No.
Doctor said you could go home.
Ham told me about Kane.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Grace! Man, it's good to see you.
I want a hug.
Hey, Bobby.
- I want some of that.
- [ Chuckles .]
- How you doing? - Oh, good.
- Mmm.
You scared us, girl.
- I went to see Kane's wife.
I met her last night.
They got four kids.
Oldest plays noseguard for O.
U.
You know that? We went to a couple games when I was thinking about trying out for Tac.
Kane told me if I grew five inches and gained 40 pounds, maybe.
- [ Chuckles .]
What's the line on Bigtime? - Don't have one yet.
Got eyes on his house, his girlfriend's place, all over the neighborhood.
- Hey, you sure you should be here? - Where else I gonna be? [ Laughs .]
I'm fine.
Seriously.
- [ Phone Rings .]
- I'm not even sore really.
Hanadarko.
Are you shittin' me? You search him? Thanks for the warning.
You can stop looking for Bigtime.
He's headed up.
Hear y'all want to talk to me.
Let's talk here.
In front of Doughboy and my witnesses.
Now if y'all ain't cool with that, y'all can call my attorney.
I got things to do.
I know, man.
You a busy guy.
Let's see if there's a bullet wound under all that crap you got on.
No, man.
Ain't me you clipped.
Prove it.
Give us your D.
N.
A.
[ Laughs .]
[ Scissors Clattering .]
- Let's roll.
- Hey.
You could've just spit, dumb-ass.
Yeah.
I'm guessing he's not our bleeder.
No, he was there.
He's just shoving it in our faces.
Son of a bitch has got some nerve walking in here bleeding in my house.
Ifhe was at the crime scene, prove it.
I want him.
I want the bleeder.
And I want 'em both before we put Kane in the ground.
Grace.
What exactly do you think you're doing? Hey, man, I almost died.
Look, I know you gotta tell me to go home.
And I can lie and say I will.
But can I just say this one thing? - You didn't go home when Jack was stabbed.
- I didn't get shot.
You had the shit beat out of you.
Three broken ribs.
- I'm in a lot better shape than you were.
-Jack was my partner.
Kane was my friend.
The D.
A.
's gotta review your statement.
He'll be back tomorrow.
Okay? So just- In the meantime,just get your first visit in with the chaplain or shrink.
- And we will talk about it in the morning.
- Kate, come on.
It was my goddamn informant put us there.
This isn't black on black, sister girl.
And the community is screaming for answers.
The chief wants this one by the book.
You gotta go home.
Oh! [ Grunts .]
You know, you gotta talk to me if you want this to count as a clerical visit.
- I don't want to talk about God.
- Okay.
- You lie, you goin' to hell.
- I will try not to mention God.
You know, Kane, he was a great guy.
- You were friends? - Kind of.
Are you gonna go to his funeral? I know how you are about funerals- Night before the raid, I couldn't sleep.
Something-I don't know.
Same feeling I used to get the night before the Darko Bowl.
I wanted that trophy in my room so bad.
You know, I never got it.
I never made the first touchdown.
You weren't that great at football, Grace.
- I ran your ass all over the yard.
- Yeah, right, right.
You know, the Darko Bowl was a silly family tradition.
Getting ready for yesterday, how does that relate? I didn't wanna get killed.
I saw an ice-cream truck yesterday.
- I had a flashback.
- You're never gonna let me forget that, are you? I did not mean to push you in front of an ice-cream truck.
And Jimmy didn't mean to break my arm.
Leo didn't mean to knock me unconscious.
And Joe absolutely on purpose clotheslined my ass.
And yet, every year, you were there.
What was I gonna do? Jump up and down with Paige and Mom and lead cheers? Yesterday was not a game though.
The guys we were chasin' thought it was.
Look, thanks.
I think I need to rest for a while.
Well, you know, we're supposed to talk for at least an hour.
[ Groans .]
Oh, man,Johnny.
I'm- I'm really tired.
And I'm really not stupid.
Now you were ordered to stay home today.
No work.
- And we have to meet again within two days.
- Within a week.
- Two days.
Two days.
- Within a week.
Says who? - Well, it's at the discretion of your counselor.
- [ Gibberish .]
Just like football, little sis.
You ain't gonna get around me on this.
All right? [ Knocks .]
- What the hell, Pup? - Hold on before you knock me upside my head.
I ever knock you upside the head? I didn't know nothing about no tunnels.
What I heard- all I heard-was Kwame was thinking about buying the house.
Needed to check it out.
He went inside that house alone.
I seen him with my own two eyes.
[ Sighs .]
A good cop is dead, man.
Heard it was almost you.
Nice.
I got one of them in my crib.
[ Chuckles .]
What else you hear? You are looking for Bigtime and some punk you plugged- one of his.
- Which one? - Don't know.
Nobody's talkin'.
Well, you start talkin', Pup.
Tell me about Bigtime.
His boys, women, his mama.
- Everything okay? - Yeah.
We just need to talk.
That's cool.
I see them red beans and rice still hitting the right spots.
William asked me to marry him.
I said yes.
- When? - Next spring.
You know, Tamara I know you ain't gonna believe me, but I'm happy for you.
You gotta move on.
I know that.
- He and Benjamin get along great.
- Benji told me.
He digs him.
He said he can't throw a baseball worth shit.
- But he's a nice guy.
- He wants to adopt Benjamin.
At first I said no.
He never brought it up again.
- Then I started thinking Benjamin needs a dad.
- He's got a dad.
Who's gonna die in two years.
Damn it, Leon.
I don't know what to do.
I want to do what's best for our son.
I don't want to hurt you.
I know what I'm asking.
And I know that you love him.
Just think about what's best for Benji.
And nobody's going up against Bigtime.
Kept hitting brick walls all day.
People are scared, man.
Bigtime moves into a neighborhood, he owns it.
Pup says the only person he's afraid of is his grandma.
- She raised him.
Did a heck of a job.
- [ Ham .]
Nice.
A stone-cold killer afraid of an old lady.
Never fails.
Kind of like some bad-ass cop who's scared of a little-bitty bird.
- [ Laughs .]
- I- I got that.
Let me get it.
You guys haven't slept for two days.
Neither one.
I should have got more pizza.
You see the tulips you got me? - That was very sweet, guys.
- Tulips.
My idea.
Here's to the guy we shot getting a raging staph infection.
- [ Laughter.]
- Yeah! - I think I got him in the right shoulder.
- I definitely got him.
Twenty bucks says I got Kwame.
I had him in the window.
Oh, you're on! I had him in the window! - Gus, you're drooling all over the pizza! - Oh, Gus man! Gus! Shh, shh, shh, shh.
That's good.
She needs her rest.
I didn't like seeing her in that hospital bed.
[ Ham .]
Man, I knew she'd be back at work today.
- We got her back.
- Sleep.
We could all use a couple hours.
I'll stay with her.
No, man.
You got a family, all right? I'll stay.
You got a wife.
I'll stay.
[ Gus Moans .]
- Mornin', sunshine.
- Mornin', Earl.
- How you feelin'? - Did you save me? No.
I- I thought I lost you.
Lines got jammed, so many folks prayin' for you.
- Where's Kane? - Picture a six-year-old on Christmas morning.
Then what happens? - Why you wanna know? - Curious.
Scared? You ever die, Earl? Were you born? Or you just always been you? -Just always been me.
- Why do we have to die? Same reason milk has to curdle.
Everything's got a shelflife.
- Except angels.
- And Velveeta cheese.
- Now why'd you do that? - A spider.
- You sure? - Pretty sure.
Could be Rahib's fourth or fifth crack at trying to achieve nirvana.
All life is sacred, Grace.
Is that bacon? You cooking me a pig for breakfast, Earl? One of them other people who prayed for you.
Be nice.
Oh-ho! What are you doing here? Wanted to make sure you're okay and show off my Texas omelet.
Gonna have some Oklahoma crow in it this year.
- Coffee? - Thanks.
Hang on.
Here we go.
Yeah.
[ Laughs .]
When did you learn how to cook? Picked up a few things the last couple of years.
Wait till you taste my waffles.
So what's your first move today? I'm going to Bigtime's neighborhood and knock on some doors.
That was it? The waffles.
What about Doughboy? We're bringing him in.
Bobby has an idea how to get to him.
It's just- I always skip breakfast.
Hmm.
You bitches drag me down here, y'all gonna have to do more than threaten me.
- Know what I'm sayin'? - Yeah.
We know exactly what you're saying.
Ma'am, the person we're looking for was shot.
Mind if I frisk your son, see if he's hurtin'? I told him if he knows something, he gotta talk.
But look at him.
This is what I have to look at every day.
You do what you gotta do.
[ Groans .]
It's hard out here for a pimp.
So which is it? Pimpman or Doughboy? - Doughboy.
- Kevin! It's like someone came along and snatched the good right out of him.
Listen to your mom, Kevin.
You get out now,you can still have a life.
- Go to college.
- Man, school is for punks.
And keep my mom out of this.
Or I'll have to take another lick at yours.
Five ''A's'', one ''B''.
Fool could be a doctor he's so smart! My son could actually help people.
And look at him! Look at that stupid gangster crap he got on.
Boy, I don't even know you anymore.
- Where were you Tuesday morning? - Answer him.
Man, the kid ain't got nothing to say to you punk-ass po-po's.
Maybe that's 'cause you were also in that house.
Oh, no, no.
Hold on.
Kevin was home.
I was trying to get his lazy ass out of bed.
Don't go trying to put this on my baby.
He's here trying to help you.
Not helping much.
Two people are dead.
Makes us think maybe he's got something to hide.
You got something to hide? Give it.
- Now tell themI - Ma, I tell 'em, I'm dead.
You don't talk, I will kill you myself.
I'm sorry, Mama.
Look, man, if you're not gonna talk to me, why the hell you agree to see me? I wanted to see the face of the man who tried to take my son from me.
- And that's what you think? - That's what I know.
Then you know shit.
It's not your son's fault you're in jail, or mine.
I'm his father.
No one else is ever gonna say the same as long as I'm alive.
You understand nothing else, you better understand that.
I know I'm not his father, but I could be his parent.
Help take care of him when the time comes you can't.
And I know if you understand nothing, you understand that.
[ Chuckles .]
I know what I'm asking.
And if the tables were turned, I'd feel the same way.
But this isn't about you or me.
It's about Benji.
-Just think about it, all right? - You already took my wife away from me.
Hey, look.
Just think about it.
[ Mouths Words .]
Hey, O.
C.
P.
D.
We got a couple questions about a guy named Bigtime.
Doughboy.
A couple of people got killed.
A two-year-old boy and a police officer.
Right around the block from here.
You didn't hear anything? Nothing? Yeah, now you're listening.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Ma'am, we got a couple questions about a gentleman named Bigtime Reynolds.
- Known as Dion Reynolds.
- You know him? These two people were killed.
Two-year-old little boy and a police officer.
- Bigtime Reynolds? Dion? - Ma'am? - Doughboy? Never heard of these people? - Ma'am? - What's it gonna take to get these people to talk? - They're scared.
I don't give a shit they're scared.
I heard you pulled me out of the line of fire.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, we're partners.
You know, you'd do the same for me.
- Maybe.
- Shut up.
- ShitI - HeyI HeyI - Goddamn it! - Assholes! Shit! - They get anything? - I don't know.
- Goddamn it.
- You have your piece in here? No.
Looks like they were getting ready to hot-wire it.
- What are you thinking? - We're getting nothing but shit.
We gotta give some back.
- Here's some sweet tea.
There you go, Mama Dee.
- Y'all playing too slow.
- [ Mama Dee.]
Come on.
- Oh, you come for lunch? - 'Cause I know you didn't come for me.
- Dee Reynolds? You're under arrest for the illegal operation of a gambling facility.
- This is a friendly game of- - Still against the law.
Let's go.
Oh, no, no, no.
Bitch, you're tripping now.
Let her go.
Okay, Dion.
That's all right.
Just stop the nonsense.
I will go with them.
Just, uh, let me get my hat.
Let's roll.
- Anything else I can get you? - You can get me out of here.
I guess this is the last place you thought you'd be today.
Your grandson sort ofleft me with no choice.
People with any kind of smarts always got a choice.
It don't seem like your grandson's been making the right ones lately.
Well, he gets in a little trouble every now and again, but he's a good boy.
Ma'am, we're investigating him in the homicide of a police officer.
Is that why I'm here? I thought this was supposed to be about my so-called gambling.
You're gambling with your grandson's so-called life.
Playing the innocent when he's got half your community hooked on crack and the other half afraid to tell the truth.
You got evidence to back that up? I got a dead cop to back that up.
From all the people I talked to in your neighborhood,you're really well respected.
It must be breaking your heart to have to deal with all this.
My heart broke when my son died 20 years ago.
And it has not been put back together since.
So don't talk to me about broken hearts, white boy.
Your girl, uh, Detective Hand Job, really messed up.
You mean, Detective Hanadarko.
Dragging my grandma down here just to mess with me.
That's gonna cost y'all.
[ Laughs .]
- Mama Dee, you okay? - Let's go, Dion.
- Bitch, it's on now.
- And it's gonna stay on.
A cop is dead.
Next time we won't be so nice.
You don't give us what we need, next time we're gonna strip-search her.
Next time-That badge keep you as safe as it did Kane.
- Grace.
- [ Grace.]
Ma'am? You forgot your hat.
[ Grunting .]
[ Laughs .]
You wearin' me out.
Water? From a frozen stream way on top of the Hvannadalshnjukur Mountains in Iceland.
That's some good shit.
Also brought you something from Cuba.
- Thought it might help you calm down.
- [ Sniffs .]
Picked this up in Baltimore.
- What about the guards? - Go ahead, enjoy.
Next time why don't you bring some brandy to go along with the cigar? I hear you got a big decision to make.
Don't God ever get tired of listening in on my conversations? - So what's it gonna be? - Thinking of a recent friend of mine.
- Name's Ed.
- Who's Ed? A guy who will do anything for money.
I ain't sure I like where I think this is goin'.
Like you said, ''big decision.
'' Who's gonna kill the man who wants my son? You want to kill a man for lovin' Benjamin? For wantin' to give him somethin' after you're gone? You ask Benjamin what he wants? He wants to be a rap star.
He's a kid.
I ain't putting this on him.
This is my decision.
Then make it.
Don't let some fool named Ed make it for you.
[ Toy Squeaks .]
Gussy! New one! Gus man? Gus man? [ Clattering .]
Come on out, asshole.
Let me see your hands.
Your hands.
- [ Moans .]
- Shit.
Shit! Gus! - Find anything? - Only this.
Gus must have really been scared.
He didn't even finish.
Ew.
[ Sniffs .]
- It's not his.
- What do you mean, ''It's not his''? I saw Bigtime feed a couple to his dog.
Think it could be the green shit at the crack house? [ Blowing .]
Well, it probably has the same components.
But since thousands of people buy the same dog biscuits it's not likely to hold up in court.
How did he get in your house? Gus probably opened the door, invited him in, gave him a beer.
Seriously.
He broke my bathroom window.
He screwed up, man! Breaking into a cop's house? Come on! I got him totally off his game.
He put a bullet on your pillow.
He's saying he's gonna kill you.
[ Rap .]
And since you like cocktails with your shit, I'm gonna serve you up.
- Down with that line, baby.
See ya! - That there is nine.
Your mama ain't teach you how to count? Christine! I was so busy laid up with your mama.
[ All .]
Ooh! - How do you like me now, dawg? - Nick was funny! You a punk, man.
I needs to find me some new ass to kick.
- You know what I'm talking about? - Will mine do? - Well, go and grow one and we'll see.
- [ Men Laughing .]
What? You ain't got nothing better to do than come down here and harass me and my boys? There ain't no money exchanging hands here.
Or maybe you're here to haul off some of them four-year-olds.
[ Laughs .]
- Detective Hana-Dyko.
- [ Laughs .]
You sit, you play.
[ Man .]
WhooI Come on now.
Your dog looks hungry.
Big six.
I imagine your dog's a pussy.
Imagine my dog could sneeze and blow your dog to Tulsa.
[ Men Laughing .]
[ Bigtime.]
Five.
- Fifteen.
- Five.
Fifteen.
There's a lot of heat comin' your way.
- How long you think your boys are gonna cover for you? - As long as I want 'em to.
I don't know about that.
Take Doughboy for instance.
He's just a misdemeanor away from his mama whooping his ass.
If I were him, I'd be more scared ofher than you.
Both of you like little boys.
We put Mama Dee in jail, you gonna cry? You're gonna lose this game.
One of yours killed a cop.
You think we're ever gonna give up? - [ Slams Domino On Table.]
- Domino.
- How'd he know where I live, Pup? - What? Bigtime.
He was in my house.
How did that happen? The phone book? Hell if I know.
Wait a minute.
You think- Ah, uh-uh.
- Where you goin'? - Relationship ain't shit without trust.
You come to my house for the first time.
A day later, Bigtime's in my bedroom.
My bedroom, Pup! Look, how you gonna accuse me of doing something like that? You're Choctaw.
I'm Choctaw.
- How long we been doing this dance, huh? - A long, damn time.
A man is only as good as his word.
Besides, if he knew I was here talkin' to you, I wouldn't be here talking to you.
- Catch my meaning? - How'd he find my house? You cops need to learn to lock your car doors.
Protect your shit.
Maybe instead of harassing helpless folk in wheelchairs you should be buying them a case of forties for hurting their feelings! Cowboys look good this year.
You guys finally got a quarterback.
Grace and I already got a bet.
Bedlam Series is ours this year.
You cook her your Texas omelet? She's not big on breakfast.
Our defense is gonna tear 'em up this year.
- Kid from Sand Springs reminds me of Lucius Selmon.
- Reminds me of Leroy.
- Lucius.
- Leroy.
It's gonna be tough on Kane's wife at the games this year.
- You going to his funeral? - [ Gunshots .]
Shots fired at Mama's Restaurant.
Need immediate backup.
O.
C.
P.
D.
! Hands up! Get your hands up! - Get your hands up! - You okay? Wake up, baby.
- [ Grace.]
Get your hands up.
- Kitchen's clear! Uh-uh.
Fresh shoulder wound.
- And he's packing a .
45.
- .
45's what killed Kane.
Okay, ma'am, put your hands behind your back.
He killed my boyI She's crazy, man! She's crazy! She killed him! Okay, ma'am.
Okay, come on.
Why you in here with me? You should be out there questioning Doughboy.
Have a tissue.
Especially made for crocodile tears.
- Excuse me? - Nice house, nice car nice restaurant, none in your name.
- So? - So who does it belong to? Where's the money coming from? From my restaurant.
A restaurant that hasn't made a profit in 1 0 years? Luckily, you got crack houses to supplement your income.
You don't know nothin' about me.
You only know what I want you to know.
You're right.
So why don't you tell me? Is this where you put the gun before you pulled the trigger and blew half your grandson's head off, or was it here? Did you look him in the eyes? Did he call you ''Grandma''? Did he beg for his life? Or was it so easy for you, you just pulled the trigger? To hell with you, lady.
To hell with you.
You killed your son's son.
Evil bitch! My son was 1 0 times the man Dion was.
Punk.
Hardheaded, showy, disrespectful.
He brought all this heat down on my head.
My only regret is that I didn't get rid of him sooner.
Dad,you should have seen the new stuff at the Dub show.
Dad,you should have seen the new stuff at the Dub show.

And your favorite artist, Ne-Yo performed.

Something like that? Dad, you okay? I'm just impressed.
You really know your stuff.
Well, Will's been showing me a lot.
Yeah, I guess he has.
Things better with him around? Mom don't cry as much anymore.
That's good.
I'm glad she's happy.
What about you? He's cool.
I'm still your son, Dad.
You are my son.
Until I breathe my last breath, you're keeping my name.
And when I'm gone, know that I'll be waiting for you in heaven.
I love you.
You're a part of me that's gonna live on in this world.
I ain't never giving you up.

Grace, are you there? Well, I just got the Ballistics'report on who killed Kwame Smith.
It wasn't Bobby, Butch, Ham, or you.
It was Kane.
- I'll see you at the funeral, all right? - [ Line Disconnects .]
[ Answering Machine Beeps .]
[ Man .]
Hope there's someone Who'll take care of me When I die Will I go Hope there's someone Who'll set my heart free Nice to hold When I'm tired There's a ghost on the horizon When I Go to bed You look awful nice.
So you're goin' to the funeral? You didn't go to your sister's funeral, or your dad's.
I'm goin' to Kane's.
How's his Christmas? It's everything he ever wanted.
Between light And nowhere - [ Sniffles .]
- I don't want to be the one Left in there Left in there - [ Sets Keys Down .]

We're serving a no-knock warrant on a murder suspect this morning.

Hey.
- You want a sip? - You're in Acapulco.
I had to stay for work, remember? - What time is it? - [ Ham .]
It's almost midnight.
Oh, shit.
The doctor said you're gonna be sore and you're gonna get a big bruise.
But you're fine.
No internal injuries.
Gonna get to go home tomorrow.
Mom looked into chartering a helicopter to get off the ship.
But they dock tonight.
So they all got flights out in the morning.
Jimmy,Joe, Paige, Leo.
Everybody will be here in the morning.
- Don't cancel the cruise.
- You remember what happened? I got shot.
I mean it.
Last thing I need is Paige coming at me with a bedpan.
You're gonna have to take it easy for a while.
So you get Mom or you get me.
You know I'm a better cook.
You get Mom, you get her meat loaf.
So- You know, thank God you were wearing a vest.
- What about Kane? - He's hanging on if he can make it through the night.
Shit,Johnny.
Did you give me last rites? Goddamn it.
Tommy and Ralph say no one's talking.
Not one person.
Shit, man.
We're the ones doing all the talkin'.
Nine hours with I.
A.
Three hours with the D.
A.
They're more worried about lawsuits than finding the sons of bitches who shot our guys.
- I'd rather be judged by 1 2 than carried by six.
- Anyone see Grace this morning? - I stopped by.
She was asleep.
- She's fighting back to feisty.
I think we should send her flowers.
You know, from all of us.
- What kind? - She likes roses.
She likes daffodils.
Kane didn't make it.
He died about an hour ago.
You've been cleared for duty.
You know the drill.
[ Sighs .]
Shrink or chaplain, your call.
Five visits, first one within 48 hours.
Anyone gone yet? Of course not.
[ Exhales .]
Anyone find Grace's snitch and cut his balls off? Figure of speech.
It wasn't Pup's fault.
Kwame was setting up a crack lab for his boy, Bigtime Reynolds.
There was an underground tunnel from Kwame's house to this backyard.
Extra shooters came in and got out through the tunnel.
How many? [ Butch .]
Found casings from three guns.
Only one was left at the scene.
Blood was found in the tunnel here and here.
Not a lot.
Unfortunately, he didn't bleed out.
Hospitals are keeping an eye open.
What makes you so sure it was Bigtime Reynolds? He's the only one that's got escape tunnels in his crack houses.
Only Bigtime must be invisible 'cause no one's seen him talked to him, has any idea where he is.
- At least we got Kwame Smith.
- Well, hell's got him now.
Yeah.
Well, hell is missing at least one more.
Find Bigtime Reynolds.
[ Alarm Sounds .]
[ Restraint Chains Rattling .]
- Hey, Pops.
- Hey, Benjamin.
- You're in trouble, Son.
- What I do? - You know.
It's gotta stop.
- Yes, sir.
That's right.
She can't help you now.
Hear you been saying things.
Real bad things.
And I'm gonna straighten you out, boy.
Let it be known, once and for all, that throughout the history of this world there was only one great crooner to grace the face of this earth.
And his name was Marvin Gaye.
Ne-Yo, Dad.
He's the best young singer today.
- And I'm crafting my style after him.
- Ne-Yo? More like Ne-Not.
[ Laughs .]
Ah! Yes, thank you! I don't like this getting shot.
So, let's say this is the last time.
Okay? - Oh, shit! - Take it easy.
- It's a bruise.
- A bruise? For God sakes, Grace, you were dead.
Technically anyway.
The force of the bullet was so violent that it caused your heart to stop.
If the paramedics hadn't whacked you with the defibrillator- You're lucky to be alive.
What did you get at the crack house? Uh, one bleeder and lots of prints.
[ Groans .]
I saw a white light right after I got shot.
It was Earl.
He was coming at me all worried.
Do you think that he saved you? I think my vest saved me.
Oh.
Oh, what are you doing? Doctor said I could go to work.
No.
Doctor said you could go home.
Ham told me about Kane.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Grace! Man, it's good to see you.
I want a hug.
Hey, Bobby.
- I want some of that.
- [ Chuckles .]
- How you doing? - Oh, good.
- Mmm.
You scared us, girl.
- I went to see Kane's wife.
I met her last night.
They got four kids.
Oldest plays noseguard for O.
U.
You know that? We went to a couple games when I was thinking about trying out for Tac.
Kane told me if I grew five inches and gained 40 pounds, maybe.
- [ Chuckles .]
What's the line on Bigtime? - Don't have one yet.
Got eyes on his house, his girlfriend's place, all over the neighborhood.
- Hey, you sure you should be here? - Where else I gonna be? [ Laughs .]
I'm fine.
Seriously.
- [ Phone Rings .]
- I'm not even sore really.
Hanadarko.
Are you shittin' me? You search him? Thanks for the warning.
You can stop looking for Bigtime.
He's headed up.
Hear y'all want to talk to me.
Let's talk here.
In front of Doughboy and my witnesses.
Now if y'all ain't cool with that, y'all can call my attorney.
I got things to do.
I know, man.
You a busy guy.
Let's see if there's a bullet wound under all that crap you got on.
No, man.
Ain't me you clipped.
Prove it.
Give us your D.
N.
A.
[ Laughs .]
[ Scissors Clattering .]
- Let's roll.
- Hey.
You could've just spit, dumb-ass.
Yeah.
I'm guessing he's not our bleeder.
No, he was there.
He's just shoving it in our faces.
Son of a bitch has got some nerve walking in here bleeding in my house.
Ifhe was at the crime scene, prove it.
I want him.
I want the bleeder.
And I want 'em both before we put Kane in the ground.
Grace.
What exactly do you think you're doing? Hey, man, I almost died.
Look, I know you gotta tell me to go home.
And I can lie and say I will.
But can I just say this one thing? - You didn't go home when Jack was stabbed.
- I didn't get shot.
You had the shit beat out of you.
Three broken ribs.
- I'm in a lot better shape than you were.
-Jack was my partner.
Kane was my friend.
The D.
A.
's gotta review your statement.
He'll be back tomorrow.
Okay? So just- In the meantime,just get your first visit in with the chaplain or shrink.
- And we will talk about it in the morning.
- Kate, come on.
It was my goddamn informant put us there.
This isn't black on black, sister girl.
And the community is screaming for answers.
The chief wants this one by the book.
You gotta go home.
Oh! [ Grunts .]
You know, you gotta talk to me if you want this to count as a clerical visit.
- I don't want to talk about God.
- Okay.
- You lie, you goin' to hell.
- I will try not to mention God.
You know, Kane, he was a great guy.
- You were friends? - Kind of.
Are you gonna go to his funeral? I know how you are about funerals- Night before the raid, I couldn't sleep.
Something-I don't know.
Same feeling I used to get the night before the Darko Bowl.
I wanted that trophy in my room so bad.
You know, I never got it.
I never made the first touchdown.
You weren't that great at football, Grace.
- I ran your ass all over the yard.
- Yeah, right, right.
You know, the Darko Bowl was a silly family tradition.
Getting ready for yesterday, how does that relate? I didn't wanna get killed.
I saw an ice-cream truck yesterday.
- I had a flashback.
- You're never gonna let me forget that, are you? I did not mean to push you in front of an ice-cream truck.
And Jimmy didn't mean to break my arm.
Leo didn't mean to knock me unconscious.
And Joe absolutely on purpose clotheslined my ass.
And yet, every year, you were there.
What was I gonna do? Jump up and down with Paige and Mom and lead cheers? Yesterday was not a game though.
The guys we were chasin' thought it was.
Look, thanks.
I think I need to rest for a while.
Well, you know, we're supposed to talk for at least an hour.
[ Groans .]
Oh, man,Johnny.
I'm- I'm really tired.
And I'm really not stupid.
Now you were ordered to stay home today.
No work.
- And we have to meet again within two days.
- Within a week.
- Two days.
Two days.
- Within a week.
Says who? - Well, it's at the discretion of your counselor.
- [ Gibberish .]
Just like football, little sis.
You ain't gonna get around me on this.
All right? [ Knocks .]
- What the hell, Pup? - Hold on before you knock me upside my head.
I ever knock you upside the head? I didn't know nothing about no tunnels.
What I heard- all I heard-was Kwame was thinking about buying the house.
Needed to check it out.
He went inside that house alone.
I seen him with my own two eyes.
[ Sighs .]
A good cop is dead, man.
Heard it was almost you.
Nice.
I got one of them in my crib.
[ Chuckles .]
What else you hear? You are looking for Bigtime and some punk you plugged- one of his.
- Which one? - Don't know.
Nobody's talkin'.
Well, you start talkin', Pup.
Tell me about Bigtime.
His boys, women, his mama.
- Everything okay? - Yeah.
We just need to talk.
That's cool.
I see them red beans and rice still hitting the right spots.
William asked me to marry him.
I said yes.
- When? - Next spring.
You know, Tamara I know you ain't gonna believe me, but I'm happy for you.
You gotta move on.
I know that.
- He and Benjamin get along great.
- Benji told me.
He digs him.
He said he can't throw a baseball worth shit.
- But he's a nice guy.
- He wants to adopt Benjamin.
At first I said no.
He never brought it up again.
- Then I started thinking Benjamin needs a dad.
- He's got a dad.
Who's gonna die in two years.
Damn it, Leon.
I don't know what to do.
I want to do what's best for our son.
I don't want to hurt you.
I know what I'm asking.
And I know that you love him.
Just think about what's best for Benji.
And nobody's going up against Bigtime.
Kept hitting brick walls all day.
People are scared, man.
Bigtime moves into a neighborhood, he owns it.
Pup says the only person he's afraid of is his grandma.
- She raised him.
Did a heck of a job.
- [ Ham .]
Nice.
A stone-cold killer afraid of an old lady.
Never fails.
Kind of like some bad-ass cop who's scared of a little-bitty bird.
- [ Laughs .]
- I- I got that.
Let me get it.
You guys haven't slept for two days.
Neither one.
I should have got more pizza.
You see the tulips you got me? - That was very sweet, guys.
- Tulips.
My idea.
Here's to the guy we shot getting a raging staph infection.
- [ Laughter.]
- Yeah! - I think I got him in the right shoulder.
- I definitely got him.
Twenty bucks says I got Kwame.
I had him in the window.
Oh, you're on! I had him in the window! - Gus, you're drooling all over the pizza! - Oh, Gus man! Gus! Shh, shh, shh, shh.
That's good.
She needs her rest.
I didn't like seeing her in that hospital bed.
[ Ham .]
Man, I knew she'd be back at work today.
- We got her back.
- Sleep.
We could all use a couple hours.
I'll stay with her.
No, man.
You got a family, all right? I'll stay.
You got a wife.
I'll stay.
[ Gus Moans .]
- Mornin', sunshine.
- Mornin', Earl.
- How you feelin'? - Did you save me? No.
I- I thought I lost you.
Lines got jammed, so many folks prayin' for you.
- Where's Kane? - Picture a six-year-old on Christmas morning.
Then what happens? - Why you wanna know? - Curious.
Scared? You ever die, Earl? Were you born? Or you just always been you? -Just always been me.
- Why do we have to die? Same reason milk has to curdle.
Everything's got a shelflife.
- Except angels.
- And Velveeta cheese.
- Now why'd you do that? - A spider.
- You sure? - Pretty sure.
Could be Rahib's fourth or fifth crack at trying to achieve nirvana.
All life is sacred, Grace.
Is that bacon? You cooking me a pig for breakfast, Earl? One of them other people who prayed for you.
Be nice.
Oh-ho! What are you doing here? Wanted to make sure you're okay and show off my Texas omelet.
Gonna have some Oklahoma crow in it this year.
- Coffee? - Thanks.
Hang on.
Here we go.
Yeah.
[ Laughs .]
When did you learn how to cook? Picked up a few things the last couple of years.
Wait till you taste my waffles.
So what's your first move today? I'm going to Bigtime's neighborhood and knock on some doors.
That was it? The waffles.
What about Doughboy? We're bringing him in.
Bobby has an idea how to get to him.
It's just- I always skip breakfast.
Hmm.
You bitches drag me down here, y'all gonna have to do more than threaten me.
- Know what I'm sayin'? - Yeah.
We know exactly what you're saying.
Ma'am, the person we're looking for was shot.
Mind if I frisk your son, see if he's hurtin'? I told him if he knows something, he gotta talk.
But look at him.
This is what I have to look at every day.
You do what you gotta do.
[ Groans .]
It's hard out here for a pimp.
So which is it? Pimpman or Doughboy? - Doughboy.
- Kevin! It's like someone came along and snatched the good right out of him.
Listen to your mom, Kevin.
You get out now,you can still have a life.
- Go to college.
- Man, school is for punks.
And keep my mom out of this.
Or I'll have to take another lick at yours.
Five ''A's'', one ''B''.
Fool could be a doctor he's so smart! My son could actually help people.
And look at him! Look at that stupid gangster crap he got on.
Boy, I don't even know you anymore.
- Where were you Tuesday morning? - Answer him.
Man, the kid ain't got nothing to say to you punk-ass po-po's.
Maybe that's 'cause you were also in that house.
Oh, no, no.
Hold on.
Kevin was home.
I was trying to get his lazy ass out of bed.
Don't go trying to put this on my baby.
He's here trying to help you.
Not helping much.
Two people are dead.
Makes us think maybe he's got something to hide.
You got something to hide? Give it.
- Now tell themI - Ma, I tell 'em, I'm dead.
You don't talk, I will kill you myself.
I'm sorry, Mama.
Look, man, if you're not gonna talk to me, why the hell you agree to see me? I wanted to see the face of the man who tried to take my son from me.
- And that's what you think? - That's what I know.
Then you know shit.
It's not your son's fault you're in jail, or mine.
I'm his father.
No one else is ever gonna say the same as long as I'm alive.
You understand nothing else, you better understand that.
I know I'm not his father, but I could be his parent.
Help take care of him when the time comes you can't.
And I know if you understand nothing, you understand that.
[ Chuckles .]
I know what I'm asking.
And if the tables were turned, I'd feel the same way.
But this isn't about you or me.
It's about Benji.
-Just think about it, all right? - You already took my wife away from me.
Hey, look.
Just think about it.
[ Mouths Words .]
Hey, O.
C.
P.
D.
We got a couple questions about a guy named Bigtime.
Doughboy.
A couple of people got killed.
A two-year-old boy and a police officer.
Right around the block from here.
You didn't hear anything? Nothing? Yeah, now you're listening.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Ma'am, we got a couple questions about a gentleman named Bigtime Reynolds.
- Known as Dion Reynolds.
- You know him? These two people were killed.
Two-year-old little boy and a police officer.
- Bigtime Reynolds? Dion? - Ma'am? - Doughboy? Never heard of these people? - Ma'am? - What's it gonna take to get these people to talk? - They're scared.
I don't give a shit they're scared.
I heard you pulled me out of the line of fire.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, we're partners.
You know, you'd do the same for me.
- Maybe.
- Shut up.
- ShitI - HeyI HeyI - Goddamn it! - Assholes! Shit! - They get anything? - I don't know.
- Goddamn it.
- You have your piece in here? No.
Looks like they were getting ready to hot-wire it.
- What are you thinking? - We're getting nothing but shit.
We gotta give some back.
- Here's some sweet tea.
There you go, Mama Dee.
- Y'all playing too slow.
- [ Mama Dee.]
Come on.
- Oh, you come for lunch? - 'Cause I know you didn't come for me.
- Dee Reynolds? You're under arrest for the illegal operation of a gambling facility.
- This is a friendly game of- - Still against the law.
Let's go.
Oh, no, no, no.
Bitch, you're tripping now.
Let her go.
Okay, Dion.
That's all right.
Just stop the nonsense.
I will go with them.
Just, uh, let me get my hat.
Let's roll.
- Anything else I can get you? - You can get me out of here.
I guess this is the last place you thought you'd be today.
Your grandson sort ofleft me with no choice.
People with any kind of smarts always got a choice.
It don't seem like your grandson's been making the right ones lately.
Well, he gets in a little trouble every now and again, but he's a good boy.
Ma'am, we're investigating him in the homicide of a police officer.
Is that why I'm here? I thought this was supposed to be about my so-called gambling.
You're gambling with your grandson's so-called life.
Playing the innocent when he's got half your community hooked on crack and the other half afraid to tell the truth.
You got evidence to back that up? I got a dead cop to back that up.
From all the people I talked to in your neighborhood,you're really well respected.
It must be breaking your heart to have to deal with all this.
My heart broke when my son died 20 years ago.
And it has not been put back together since.
So don't talk to me about broken hearts, white boy.
Your girl, uh, Detective Hand Job, really messed up.
You mean, Detective Hanadarko.
Dragging my grandma down here just to mess with me.
That's gonna cost y'all.
[ Laughs .]
- Mama Dee, you okay? - Let's go, Dion.
- Bitch, it's on now.
- And it's gonna stay on.
A cop is dead.
Next time we won't be so nice.
You don't give us what we need, next time we're gonna strip-search her.
Next time-That badge keep you as safe as it did Kane.
- Grace.
- [ Grace.]
Ma'am? You forgot your hat.
[ Grunting .]
[ Laughs .]
You wearin' me out.
Water? From a frozen stream way on top of the Hvannadalshnjukur Mountains in Iceland.
That's some good shit.
Also brought you something from Cuba.
- Thought it might help you calm down.
- [ Sniffs .]
Picked this up in Baltimore.
- What about the guards? - Go ahead, enjoy.
Next time why don't you bring some brandy to go along with the cigar? I hear you got a big decision to make.
Don't God ever get tired of listening in on my conversations? - So what's it gonna be? - Thinking of a recent friend of mine.
- Name's Ed.
- Who's Ed? A guy who will do anything for money.
I ain't sure I like where I think this is goin'.
Like you said, ''big decision.
'' Who's gonna kill the man who wants my son? You want to kill a man for lovin' Benjamin? For wantin' to give him somethin' after you're gone? You ask Benjamin what he wants? He wants to be a rap star.
He's a kid.
I ain't putting this on him.
This is my decision.
Then make it.
Don't let some fool named Ed make it for you.
[ Toy Squeaks .]
Gussy! New one! Gus man? Gus man? [ Clattering .]
Come on out, asshole.
Let me see your hands.
Your hands.
- [ Moans .]
- Shit.
Shit! Gus! - Find anything? - Only this.
Gus must have really been scared.
He didn't even finish.
Ew.
[ Sniffs .]
- It's not his.
- What do you mean, ''It's not his''? I saw Bigtime feed a couple to his dog.
Think it could be the green shit at the crack house? [ Blowing .]
Well, it probably has the same components.
But since thousands of people buy the same dog biscuits it's not likely to hold up in court.
How did he get in your house? Gus probably opened the door, invited him in, gave him a beer.
Seriously.
He broke my bathroom window.
He screwed up, man! Breaking into a cop's house? Come on! I got him totally off his game.
He put a bullet on your pillow.
He's saying he's gonna kill you.
[ Rap .]
And since you like cocktails with your shit, I'm gonna serve you up.
- Down with that line, baby.
See ya! - That there is nine.
Your mama ain't teach you how to count? Christine! I was so busy laid up with your mama.
[ All .]
Ooh! - How do you like me now, dawg? - Nick was funny! You a punk, man.
I needs to find me some new ass to kick.
- You know what I'm talking about? - Will mine do? - Well, go and grow one and we'll see.
- [ Men Laughing .]
What? You ain't got nothing better to do than come down here and harass me and my boys? There ain't no money exchanging hands here.
Or maybe you're here to haul off some of them four-year-olds.
[ Laughs .]
- Detective Hana-Dyko.
- [ Laughs .]
You sit, you play.
[ Man .]
WhooI Come on now.
Your dog looks hungry.

I don't know about that.
Take Doughboy for instance.
He's just a misdemeanor away from his mama whooping his ass.
If I were him, I'd be more scared ofher than you.
Both of you like little boys.

You come to my house for the first time.
A day later, Bigtime's in my bedroom.
My bedroom, Pup! Look, how you gonna accuse me of doing something like that? You're Choctaw.
I'm Choctaw.
- How long we been doing this dance, huh? - A long, damn time.
A man is only as good as his word.
Besides, if he knew I was here talkin' to you, I wouldn't be here talking to you.
- Catch my meaning? - How'd he find my house? You cops need to learn to lock your car doors.
Protect your shit.

Why you in here with me? You should be out there questioning Doughboy.
Have a tissue.
Especially made for crocodile tears.
- Excuse me? - Nice house, nice car nice restaurant, none in your name.
- So? - So who does it belong to? Where's the money coming from? From my restaurant.
A restaurant that hasn't made a profit in 1 0 years? Luckily, you got crack houses to supplement your income.
You don't know nothin' about me.
You only know what I want you to know.
You're right.
So why don't you tell me? Is this where you put the gun before you pulled the trigger and blew half your grandson's head off, or was it here? Did you look him in the eyes? Did he call you ''Grandma''? Did he beg for his life? Or was it so easy for you, you just pulled the trigger? To hell with you, lady.
To hell with you.
You killed your son's son.
Evil bitch! My son was 1 0 times the man Dion was.

My only regret is that I didn't get rid of him sooner.

I'm glad she's happy.
What about you? He's cool.
I'm still your son, Dad.
You are my son.
Until I breathe my last breath, you're keeping my name.
And when I'm gone, know that I'll be waiting for you in heaven.
I love you.

Grace, are you there? Well, I just got the Ballistics'report on who killed Kwame Smith.
