And I held onto that "no way" all last night.
Feels good letting it out.
Come marching in my house with that Lady Belle savior shit, Telling me I need to resign? I mean, that's some epic desperateness, ain't it? Letting in the anger now.
Letting in the hate.

- What's going on, brother? - What's going on? Yeah.
What's going on Is I killed Brendan McCann.

You could turn yourself in, I guess.
Cop in prison, that usually ends well.
Then again, maybe they give you death.
Get yourself a room on the row.
Avoid the rapey parts.
'course it takes a hell of a time before they strap you down and stick ya.
Yeah, you do get one of them last meals, yeah.
They let you go to town on one of them last meals, brother.
But It's probably gone pretty quick and then you're dead.
Pull over here.
The one with the boards.
I'm sorry she's dead, man.
That sucks.
But being alive can kinda suck sometimes too.
It's hard being alive, ain't it? See ya, Frank.
Feel like a god? - The hell that's supposed to mean? - Hello, Joe.
And what the hell you doing at Brendan's grave? You gonna mess up my good work.
And what good work is that? Well, I got the boss all hyped up for this Michael Drake kid.
Dawson's down for it.
Well, I'm not down for it.
I could ask you how your trip to Chicago went, But you'd just lie to me.
I'm tired of lies.
Get yourself ready.
Why's that? Oh, you coming for me, Frank? No.
I'm turning us in today.

It's been three years.
I should have called the police months ago.
- You didn't open it? - "It"? Three years, four months ago.
Two months ago.
Two weeks ago.
Last week.
Just some records I found, some books.
I thought you'd like them.
Like them? Like? They scare me.
They show up at the door and they ruin my day.
They take me hostage, Frank.
Do you understand that? Yeah, I was at the pool today.
I hide them from John.
From my husband.
I hide them because if I didn't, you'd be in jail.
I don't write my name on them.
- They're just between us.
- What? There's one more coming.
It's the last one.
There's something wrong with you, Frank.
There is something horribly wrong with you.
I was-- I was at the pool today.
I was remembering.
Is it '92, '93? Such a great summer.
I'm calling 911.
I didn't mean to do that.
I'm not gonna use it.
I just wanted to see you one last time.
What happened to your eye? I just wanted to be in the same room with you.
Can we just do that? I won't say anything.
Just sit across from me.
Do that and I'll go.
I'm having a day.
You said you wouldn't talk.
- I don't know how I got here.
- I don't care.
I mean, I know how I got here.
I mean, the larger thing.
How this-- this all became my life.
It's happening, it's not happening, all at the same time.
I could use some help figuring it out.
I'm not going to help you.
I'm through helping you.
They're looking for me.
I'm trying to keep it together, but it's not happening.
I think I had a heart attack out at the airport.
Why were you at the airport? I was going to Germany.
Germany? Why? I don't know.
Because it's far away.
- Did you dye your hair? - Sit down, Frank.
- The chair wasn't right.
- Try.
I could just stand here and stand still.
Why are you in trouble? I met someone.
A woman.
Her name's Katia.
Actually, I don't think that is her name, but it doesn't matter.
It happened so fast.
She has this-- this amazing neck.
This nose and beautiful eyes.
We could talk.
You know, we would talk all the time-- Like we would talk when we were in bed.
She could put her hand there, I didn't mind.
She could put her hand on my back And it felt like she was touching the back of my heart.
Was she blonde? Yeah.
Yeah.
When did you meet? I don't know, uh Maybe five or six months ago.
Or four? Maybe four.
When the packages starting coming.
What? No.
No, no.
No.
It was real.
I wouldn't have done what I did if it wasn't real.
What did you do, Frank? Hey, John.
It's Frank.
He'll call the police.
I want him to.
You have a baby? Yes.
- What? - It's a boy.
You didn't want kids.
I didn't want kids with you.
We didn't lie in bed for hours and talk.
We sat at that scrawny kitchen table In that rotting house In that awful neighborhood And we stared at our plates Because you are death And you brought it home with you every night And it got on me.
And I do not like to be reminded of it.
I have a new life now.
I have a husband who is not you.
And I have a house I love.
I love it here.
And you have been here 10 minutes And already it feels different.
I care about you.
I always will.
And obviously something very bad happened today.
And I can see the pain you're in, But it's not my shit.
It's yours.
And I have a little boy Who's waking up And I don't want him seeing you Ever.
Because you are death.
Go to your son.
I'm tired.
What are you doing? Go check on your boy.

Me too.
You know It would be closing hour.
Pool would be empty.

That was 20 years ago, babe.
I know.
I love you.

The woman that you assaulted at gunpoint, She says you had some kind of heart attack.
- I'm fine.
- You look it.
You're wasting both our time.
I'll get to it.
I think you're a murderer.
I think you're the same pathetic little prick Who'll do anything to get back at anyone who makes him feel small.
Finally, an honest relationship.
I assume it was the girl.
Geddes and McCann were dirty.
But you have female troubles, Self-control issues.
Things just got out of control.
You lost yourself.
You can still find some sense of honor.
There are deals that can be cut.
Innocent men don't make deals.
No They don't.
Your body It's telling you to give up.
Get my lawyer Then call a prosecutor.
Tell them I want to talk.
So you're ready to tell me what happened with Damon? No.
Your mom lets you guys eat this stuff? She says don't tell dad.
You two go on.
Aunt Maya and I are gonna clean up.
If that's the worst you got from mom, you're doing okay.
I know you don't believe me, but this is it.
- I'm not going back.
- I hope you get straightened out.
I do.
But if you even think about taking the kids back, I will rip your life apart.
Here they come.
- I don't like it.
- I don't care.
Unless you want to explain how I keep her From walking the suspect through the scene on her case.
I got him.
Don't do anything stupid.
You can't run anywhere anyway.
How you doin', you murdering prick? Shut up.
Sit still.
Yeah.
How'd you and Billy get tight? Well, I ain't gonna lie to you.
I used to buy drugs from him.
- And he decided to kill Anton? - Nah.
My idea.
A cop's brain.
I figured no one kills your own connect.
Me and boot, we do Anton, Run the drugs, nobody'd sniff 'em out.
- Where did you kill him? - Right here.
Had the tarp down.
Came in handy when we put him in the trunk.
- McCann? - Oh, he surprised us.
I didn't know he was down with Anton.
And tell me, boss, how does that crooked prick stay on the job - And I get tossed? - Just tell us what happened.
Lose my kids, my life.
I was happy to kill him.
Show me how.
Living room.
Guns are in the living room.
It was like, it was like-- It's like wrestling a bear, man.
It's like a-- a-- a bear who wrestles.
The sink was on to clean up Anton.
Only choice.
We held him under.
I used the last strength I had.
- Then what? - The river.
Cuffed him to the wheel, Faked his suicide-- I already told you this.
And Billy? Right here.
Put two in his chest When we got back from the river.
One in the head like this.
Your partner, you just decided to kill him? You can't trust a dope addict.
What the hell is going on? Forget me.
I want you to find Sean Foster.
They've got him in holding.
They're probably going to arraign him soon.
Take over from whatever lousy PD they've assigned him.
They're holding you on grand theft auto.
Foster, Sean.
Just go.
I'll call you with the details.
Okay? Don't worry about him.
Go.
I'll be fine.
No.
Things don't look fine, Frank.
It's crap.
Misunderstanding with my ex-wife.
Says I'm freaking out about getting commandeered.
It's all crap.
Boyd made it seem like you want to cut some kind of a deal.
Boyd is delusional.
I want to talk Lady Belle.
If I get dragged through the mud, - That case goes down the toilet, right? - Don't have to tell me.
Let's sit on this for now.
Let's get the conviction.
After that, if this has traction, I take my lumps.
- Boyd's gonna lose it.
- Screw Boyd.
We're getting the guilty verdict on Lady Belle.
Okay.
All right.
You should have made a deal.
I tried the bar.
They told me you were here.
They were wrong.
I'm not.
No.
Don't.
- What? Hey, hey! - Don't.
- Maya? - It's okay.
Just work stuff.
Sean's confessed to three murders.
That's not my business.
- He didn't do 'em.
- I don't care.
- Yeah, you do.
- Haven't you done enough damage? I need you to alibi him.
- Oh, Frank the cop is asking me to lie? - Yeah.
- I hate you.
- You come with me right now Or I'm gonna cuff you here in front of those kids.
That happens, I guarantee you They will never find out who their real mom is.
Watch the head.
Man, take it easy.
He's already dead.
Just Just show some respect.
These need to be scrap metal by dark.
It's no problem.
Nick and I are gonna head to Flint, lay low.
Make sure we got the new products set.
I talked to Stavros about the extra muscle.
See, you got traction now, man.
That's good.
Hoegar don't want to fight.
So you're confident you have the right man? Absolutely confident that we have the right man, yes.
We're committed to continue this investigation until we see it through to the end, But right now we have the suspect in custody.
You have 24 hours.
He's trying to plead guilty, But I asked the court to consider If he's competent to speak for himself.
Okay.
This is his ex-wife.
She can alibi him.
Is that true? I cannot knowingly let someone perjure herself.
Of course not.
How do we stand? The judge will have to buy that he's not competent - To plead for himself.
- He's not.
- How does he seem? - Honestly? Like he is on a mission to push any help away.
Okay, the thing we have going for us Is there is no physical evidence tying him to McCann.
It's thin, but it's something.
Okay.
- Where is he? - That's all for now.
Where is he? I'm tired of yelling.
I just want an answer.
This is the man that killed my boy.
Where he at? He was a suspect initially, but we ruled him out.
That's not what he said.
Tell 'em.
Tell 'em.
Why don't we take this to the precinct? The whole damned Detroit Police Department, a bunch of liars.
Hey, it's that department that goes out every day to keep you safe.
And we're doing it with pay cuts and losing our pensions.
You think just 'cause you got money problems, you get to lie? We all got money problems, but that don't mean You get to cover up murders and pin 'em on somebody else.
Ma'am, detective Agnew was wrong, that's all.
Didn't sound wrong.
Said this the man that killed my boy And said don't let nobody tell me nothing different.
- Walk away.
- Don't tell him to walk away.
- Walk away.
- Tell him what you told me.
You came to my house yesterday.
- Tell him! - I'm sorry, ma'am.
You sorry? Get your ass back here-- - Ma'am, ma'am! - No, no, no! Get your ass away from me.
Hell, yeah, I'm out of my mind.
You better get your ass up there before I beat your ass! See what they doin'? Y'all see what they doin'? I'm not resisting.
I'm not resisting.
I'm not resisting.
Let me go.
Get off me! No! Y'all need to burn this bitch down.
The whole damn Detroit Police Department, corrupt as hell! Y'all need to burn this bitch down! I can't stand it! Get off of me! Get off of me! I'm good, I'm good.
Let me go.
- Are you eating? - You don't get it.
- Maybe if you get clean.
- There's no clean.
Okay, I'm just trying to understand why you're doing this.
Because I did it? No, you didn't.
Your sister She dresses the kids like little narcs.
You saw 'em? They thought I was some homeless child molester.
Frank thinks you're bailing Damon out for me.
Well, that's a lie.
Frank, he's a liar who lies.
He knows the truth about those murders.
Don't act like you're here to save me.
You're the one who put me here.
You gave up on me like you gave up on our kids.
Don't say that.
Would you give the kids drugs? Would you let them sleep on the street? Stop.
You might as well put a bullet in my head.
Please don't.
Please.
No touching.
- Pull the trigger! Come on! - Stop! Pull it, bitch! Pull the trigger! You can go to hell! No visitors.
No lawyer.
He won't see you.
Lawyer either.
there's gotta be something we can do.
Not if he's lucid.
He has the right to plead guilty.
What did you do, Frank? I'm not resisting.
Let me go.
Get off me! No! Y'all need to burn this bitch down.
The whole damn Detroit Police Department, corrupt as hell! You need to burn this bitch down! The only reaction this city understands is mayhem.
You're pissed at the police, throw a brick.
You win the world series, burn the city to the ground.
You hit those hard, we're gonna get you To a college that's a world away from here.
I gotta go out.
Your daughter has something needs talking about.
- What? - Mom called.
I think this whole news stuff's trippin' her.
How's that? She wants me to come back.
She says all I'm learning here Is lies and double-talk.
How do you feel about that? You're the one that's supposed to know best.
You tell me.
- Gotta go.
- Joseph.
Answer her.
Think your moms is right.
You're better off with her.
That's what I think, too.
- Hey.
- Skelos is dead.
Where are you? In Flint.
Nick's with me.
We got the new connect on lock, Gus has extra muscle backing us.
It's all happening.
Sean confessed to Billy Hobson's murder.
That doesn't make any sense.
I know.
He says he killed McCann and that other guy, too.
- Are you still at your sister's? - Yeah.
- Come home.
- You put my kids at risk.
Jesus, Maya, this is everything that we talked about.
I'm gonna be home in two days, okay? So, just think about it, please.
Hey, I love you.
Hi, Brendan, it's Katia.
Yes.
Hi, Brendan, it's Katia.
Yes.
I should kill you.
Probably.
You come to gloat? I don't see a whole lot in the world to be pleased about, Frank.
Sean fired the lawyer I got him.
He's gonna be straight for the judge.
It's over.
Boyd called an emergency meeting for tomorrow.
Noon.
Deputy mayor, you, Me, Dawson, the APA.
He's gonna lay out his version of the case.
You even remember the last time you were a good cop? Hey, I cleared 21 murders this year, And I know you solved more than that.
I killed Brendan.
I killed Katia.
I let my best friend take the fall.
Sean put himself in that cell, And we both know who killed Katia.
You want to know something funny? Tomorrow at noon, Frank.
I'm bankrupt.
I gave away all my money.
This is the prepay Brendan was using before the murder.
You had that this whole time? We found this when we searched Sean's last known, So it needs to be tagged.
It's what he wants.
Oh, get out.
I'm not gonna waste anybody's time with a long preamble.
I believe an innocent man is in jail.
I believe Frank Agnew and Joe Geddes killed Brendan McCann.
That isn't some theory you just toss out.
I am well aware.
Detectives? I think lieutenant Boyd is unstable.
But if he can make a case, he should go ahead.
Why, thank you.
As you all know, I was conducting an internal affairs investigation Into detective McCann.
The night before my case was to become public, A group of police officers, Including detectives McCann, Agnew, and Geddes, Went to dinner at Mario's italian restaurant.
The owner let these two lock up.
This purportedly is detective McCann Being driven home by detective Agnew.
This is detective Geddes dropping off his keys.
In reality, this Is detective Agnew.
Brendan McCann has already been drowned In the Mario's kitchen.
You're straining credibility, lieutenant.
I would think the same thing myself, Except I took the liberty Of asking the coroner To reexamine the contents Of Brendan McCann's stomach.
Veal piccata.
I'll translate.
If McCann were still alive At the time that his car went into the river, The contents of his stomach would have been excrement.
Instead, they were veal piccata, Which means this Cannot be detective McCann Because McCann is already dead, Yet Frank Agnew claims to be dropping him off.
Shall I continue? As you might also be aware, My star witness against Brendan McCann Was found in the trunk of McCann's car With his head, hands, and feet removed.
What is it that you and homicide referred to him as? - Called him stumpy.
- Right.
Gallows humor.
We know for a fact that stumpy Was lured to his death by an eastern european prostitute.
I have Frank Agnew on tape Claiming that his girlfriend Was an eastern european prostitute.
What do you mean on tape? He told me.
I wore a wire.
Surveillance footage from the ambassador bridge On the night in question shows Joe Geddes crossing into windsor.
I believe that he drove this prostitute girlfriend out of the country In order to have no witnesses connecting them to the crime.
And detective Agnew's girlfriend? He told me they broke up exactly at that time.
The night McCann's body was discovered, The bungalow that she worked out of was burned to the ground.
The fire investigator says it was a clear case of arson.
In case you haven't noticed, The entire city is looking for an excuse to blow itself up.
Letting two cops get away with murder Isn't gonna exactly help that.
You should also consider detective Agnew a flight risk.
Before he was arrested for violating a restraining order In Ann Arbor yesterday, he was booked On a flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
- Jesus.
- It's a lot to digest.
I know.
Charles, what do you have to say? I'd say that's a hell of a story.
But I have a suspect in custody that's confessed.
Knows details that only the killer could possibly know And we've got physical evidence That ties him directly to McCann at the time of the murder.
- Physical evidence? - McCann's prepay.
Call detail records coincide With the time of the murder.
So as I said, it's a hell of a story.
Everybody out.
I'll tell you when you can come back.
Nobody leaves this building.
You wore a wire.
Germany? I didn't think I had any fight left.
You're a coward.
Stop pretending like you're some kind of a crusader, too.
Just doesn't make any sense.
I mean, turn it inside out in your head.
You think he's jerking you off? By getting life for what I did? So then he's doing it for Maya.
Hey! Hey, be quiet or finish up, all right? What did Maya say? That it makes no sense.
What else could she say? No, I meant do you think she's gonna come back to you? You know what? I'll tell you what's gonna happen.
The same thing that happens every time.
She's gonna say that she's gone, And I'm gonna pull up to the house, There's gonna be steaks on the grill And a couple of beers already open.
That's what's gonna happen.
Thanks for all this, man.
For real.
Really? I'll be right back.
You know what? It's your lucky day.
Room's on me.
Nice mask, asshole.
I want to thank you all for waiting.
It's, uh, obviously a complex situation.
Now it's our belief there's no reason to doubt a sworn statement, Especially one backed by physical evidence.
You gotta be kidding me.
I'm truly sorry for any undue stress this may have caused, Especially considering how volatile the city is right now.
This is insane.
You people are insane.
- Where is the girl? - Excuse me? The girl that lured your victim And can corroborate your theory.
I haven't found her.
Detectives Lieutenant, our apologies.
You know I'm right.
But you know I'm right.
Don't make it worse, Boyd.
- You know I'm right.
- Don't make it worse.
You know I'm right.
You all know I'm right.
Don't walk away.
You know I'm right.
You know I'm right.
You know I'm right.
I'm right.
You see? I am right.
You know I'm right! You know I am right! You do! You know it.
I told them straight.
No visitors.
I'm not a visitor, I'm a cop.
That's right, you are.
Cop.
Still.
I heard they found McCann's phone I stole.
That's some good police work right there.
Yeah.
I gotta give you that.
That's real good.
I just wanted to say goodbye.
Hey, Frank? I told you.
I'm no good.
You want to change to a corner office, This is how it's gonna go down.
You got some balls.
You know how much crap is washing up to my door? You solved three murders.
You uncovered corruption in your department, But you took the lead, you didn't brush it under the rug.
When the guilty verdict comes down in the Lady Belle case, You step forward and take a bow.
You seem to be forgetting the family members that you called.
A whole lot of folks that I told Their loved ones had committed suicide.
Brendan told.
He was the lead detective on the case.
You trusted a decorated officer in your command.
Billy Hobson's mom? He was a drug dealer.
One, two days Nobody cares.
No apologies, declare victory, move on.
I won't let you just walk away from this clean.
No, I snapped.
You put me on psych leave.
I'd fire both your asses if it didn't undo all this.
You I don't want to see when I get back.
I don't really care, Frank.
You're a good cop.
If I was you, I'd pack my shit up.
You know, there's a legend going around the D, Skinny white boy thought he could hit me Without remuneration, Take down the Greek, Pin the whole thing on his wife's ex.
Tell me, how's that story end? He go deep with any of our police friends? We gonna feel heat? Seen him parley with Joe Geddes down at homicide.
I got the book on Joe Geddes.
His old lady got some connections with Frank Agnew.
A-K don't know how tight.
Frank Agnew.
I'm gonna say something, And I don't want any talking back or attitude.
You're just gonna shut up and like it, And that goes for both of you.
I don't care if you want to go live with your moms, Your place is here.
So you're just gonna have to deal with that.
You're gonna go to school, go to church, Keep your nose clean.
I'm watching you.
What about your big case? It's over.
We got him.
Is this the woman you're looking for? Yeah.
I want to make arrangements for the burial.
Are you family? No, I'm, um I'm-- I'm just a friend.
Oh, that's okay.
You just need to fill out some paperwork.
And what's the name of the deceased? Her name? Sir? Her name? ---
